SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL A film review by Michael Redman Copyright 1997 Michael Redman
[No Stars] (out of ****)
Just when you had seen Lost World and thought that the summer crop couldn't get any worse, this abomination comes along to prove you wrong.
The sequel to the big hit of 1994 will go down in cinematic history as the big bomb of 1997. Reuniting director Jan De Bont (who also did "Twister") and Sandra Bullock, the film is missing Keanu Reeves and any semblance of excitement. Not known for his tremendous acting talent, turning down this one may have been the high point in Reeves' career.
Annie (Bullock), having broken up with her cop lover acquired at the end of the original movie because he was a daredevil, is now hooked up with a new policeman, Alex (Jason Patric). The trouble is that Alex isn't the mild-mannered beach patrolman that he said he was, but rather a member of the Los Angeles SWAT team. This doesn't make her happy.
In order to prove his love, he takes her on a relaxing romantic Caribbean cruise. Surprisingly enough, there are plans afoot to make the vacation anything but restful. Also on board is John Geiger (Willem Dafoe), the designer of the ship's computer guidance system. Geiger is frenzied because the company fired him when they discovered that he contracted fatal copper poisoning while working for them.
His plan is to take over the ship and run it into something that will explode. Now there's an action-filled plot for ya.
But there's no action here, much less an interesting plot. Most things move at slow motion (odd for a movie titled "Speed"). Even when the action heats up, it's just formulaic pap. The first film worked despite the two-dimensional characters because it pulled in the audience with its thrill-a-minute energy. This one leaves you waiting for the excitement. And waiting. And waiting.
Bullock may have run into a dead end here. After attaining "star" status with the original, she has turned out one dog after another. Her performance as Annie has even less spark than usual and that's a dismal assessment. It's astonishing that she can command a high salary and that situation can't last much longer.
Dafoe could have made the film tolerable. His history is filled with fine performances and he usually plays the twisted psycho expertly. However Geiger is the dullest crazed evil villain ever seen on the silver screen. Even the leeches used to treat his illness don't add a spark.
Patric is almost adequate, but the chemistry between him and Bullock doesn't exist. The scenes with the two of them drag on worse than the rest of the film.
The saying used to be "Speed kills", now it's "Speed bores".

P.S. In my spare time, I enjoy going for long walks/hikes, taking photos and reading. I tried audiobooks but I still prefer reading, even while walking! Somehow, for me, books are meant to be read :) I do enjoy listening to a few podcasts though.
I moved to WA after finishing my PhD. It is one of the most diversely scenic places I have visited (so far). Check the list below for places you should visit while around Seattle!

Solaris / OpenIndiana packages have been discontinued
Due to declining usage and lack of Solaris developers in the community, it was decided in September 2014 to shut down the official Jenkins IPS repository.
This applies to all the distributions based on Image Package System (IPS), such as Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana.
First, you need one-time set-up to hook up Jenkins' IPS repository to your local system. The following two commands tell IPS to add http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ with the nick name "jenkins" and update the local package list with this new repository. ('pfexec' is the Solaris speak for 'sudo'):
$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ips jenkins $ pfexec pkg refresh
The IPS repository URL has four flavors. Use the one you like:
- http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ips for main line releases
- http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ips-stable for LTS Release Line
- http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ips-rc for release candidates of the main line releases
- http://ips.jenkins-ci.org/ips-stable-rc for release candidates of the LTS release line.
You can move from one repository to another by re-executing the "pkg set-authority" command with different URLs
You can then install Jenkins like this:
$ pfexec pkg install jenkins $ pfexec /usr/sbin/svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/jenkins.xml
The first command installs Jenkins. The second command tells SMF to manage Jenkins as a service (this is apparently not needed in recent versions of Solaris, such as OpenIndiana, but it doesn't hurt to run it.) If you then go to http://localhost:8080/
you should see Jenkins running. Change /var/svc/manifest/application/jenkins.xml
and run the svccfg import if you need to change the launch parameter, such as JVM size, HTTP port number, and so on.
To update to a newer Jenkins, you do:
$ pfexec pkg refresh $ pfexec pkg install jenkins $ pfexec svcadm restart jenkins

The dblp computer science bibliography at dblp.org provides open bibliographic information on major computer science journals and proceedings. Originally created at the University of Trier in 1993, dblp is now operated and further developed by Schloss Dagstuhl. This R package interfaces with the API, making data available to use from R.
You can install the development version of dblp from GitHub with:
#install.packages("devtools") install_github("KTH-Library/dblp", dependencies = TRUE)
This is a basic example which shows you how make a search :

Bob from Moline joins Corey and Kurt on this week's episode. Kurt describes his experience at Principal Park in Des Moines to see the Iowa Cubs play. He tells you why maybe you shouldn't get too excited about Anthony Rizzo's Nintendo numbers in the Pacific Coast League.
The Cubs extended their current losing streak to 10 games and we discuss our abilities to stay interested and engaged with this team. We also spend a lot of time talking about the future of the organization and the idea of short-term thinking versus long-term vision. One key piece in that conversation is Anthony Rizzo and when he gets called up to the big league team.
We also discuss how different types of fans are reacting and will react to a deconstruction of the current team and building for the future. Jason from Moline, Nick from Virginia, Ben from Streamwood, Oscar from California toss some topics to us on our Facebook page and we take a look at those.
There are quite a few scary stats sprinkled throughout the episode and Kurt gives some really scary stats in his segment. And, we wrap up the show by picking a winner for this week's photo caption contest.

To be shared publicly and widely.
The Traditionalist Workers Party (TWP) was a white nationalist group who sought to create a white ethnostate in america. They were founded in 2015 by Matthew Heimbach, who rose to racist fame by creating a “white student union” at Towson University in 2012. He eventually brought his bigoted conspiracy theories and racial domination ideologies to the national stage by forming the Traditionalist Youth Network (the direct predecessor to TWP and eventually the “youth wing” of the party) in 2013 along with his brother in bigotry Matthew Parrott. This meeting of the minds mashed together classic neo-Confederate ideology a la League of the South with traditional Nazism, often citing Strasser and Hitler, and neo-Nazism with Heimbach’s ties to Greece’s Golden Dawn Party. In 2016 they took an integral role in creating the Nationalist Front, an alliance between various hate groups across the country.
Over the years, the TWP took part in multiple public demonstrations always armed with weapons looking for a fight, including Sacramento in 2016 (with the help of the Golden State Skinheads donning the absurdly LARPy TWP shields and uniforms) in Charlottesville, Pikesville, & Shelbyville in 2017, as well as providing “security” in cringey costumes in front of famed neo-Nazi coward Richard Spencer’s speaking events. They were always met with antifa resistance. They were often beat down and they were always embarrassed.
Then the box broke.
The box was holding up Matt Parrott and his step-daughter/Heimbach’s wife as they were spying on Parrot’s wife and Matthew Heimbach fucking. Traditionalism.
The two Matthews fought.
The cops were called.

Amid the sudden destruction of the party by the actions of their very own leader, infighting spilled out onto social media. On Facebook, Derrick Davis posted a video of himself burning the TWP flag, Colton Williams, in an arrogant child-like fit of anger, declared in a post that he would form his own new group (a declaration he seems to have backed-out on), and George White made a few posts begging former members to stay with the group as it rebrands and becomes the Nationalist Initiative. Further injuring the group was the leak of internal Discord chat logs by Unicorn Riot.
Even though the TWP is in ruins and the rebranded group Nationalist Initiative hasn't gotten its footing yet, what's clear is that the former members of the TWP continue to be dangerous Nazis that must be countered and made unable to act on their beliefs. The former members will of course desire to organize, either with NI or with other groups. It is for this reason that we release a mass doxx of former TWP members/close-associates so that we know who these people are and we can protect our communities from them.
The research presented here is only preliminary -- it is intended to be a mass outing -- with the hope that others will continue to dig deeper.
Here's a summary of the data:
- We found 67 Facebook accounts belonging to TWP members / affiliates
- These 67 accounts belong to 48 different people (a few of whom are already well known).
- We provide evidence of TWP affiliation for each person.
- We have good photos of 42 of these people
- We have a believable location for 39 of them
- They are spread across 16 states: Kentucky (8), Indiana (5), Ohio (5), Georgia (3), Tennessee (3), Texas (3), Arkansas (2), New York (2), North Carolina (2), Virginia (2), Alabama (1), Maryland (1), Maine (1), Michigan (1), Pennsylvania (1), Wisconsin (1)
- We connected 10 people with their Discord handles in the chat logs released by Unicorn Riot.

--- layout: post title: "A tip to recruiters" ---
Just received this phone call from a recruiter:
Me: Hello, this is Brian.
Recruiter: Is this Matthew? At 407-XXX-XXXX?
Me: No, you have the wrong number.

Two minutes goes by, phone rings again.
Me: Hello?
Recruiter: Hi Brian I know I just called you two minutes ago...
Me: Yeah, you're the recruiter who said "fuck" to me a minute ago.
Recruiter: HA HA HA HA!...I know...HA HA.
And scene.
Tip number 1: Although I have no issue with the word "fuck" you're representing whatever company you work for buddy. I wouldn't recommend using "fuck" when calling someone you've never called before. If we talked for a couple minutes and I used it, maybe you can. But for the sake of business professionalism try to stay away from the word.
Tip number 2: You pretty much let on that you've got a list of people you're calling and just running down the list. Please don't. I know you think of us all as cattle, but for the love of god, make it seem like I'm the only one you've called. Make me believe that I truthfully am the only one capable of doing the job you want to hook me up with. Don't prove to me that all you've done is searched for "PHP" and "Florida" into Monster and you're just trawling the waters for a fish to bite.


[% # # Translators: Please note this file and the vendor section # is intentionally only in English! # %] [% page.title = "The NTP Pool for vendors - Vendor contributions" %]
To keep the pool sustainable, we'll need some contributions from commercial vendors. The contributions are voluntary, but strongly suggested in the interest of keeping the service available to commercial vendors.
The suggested yearly contribution is $12 per 1000 clients (0.012 dollars per client). For example: If your company has 50,000 active devices, please consider contributing $600 a year. If the expected life of each device is 4 years, that's about 4 cents per device. (Compare with configuring and maintaining a redundant in-house ntp system).
As a minimum it'd be appreciated if your company would contribute $200-$300 per year to the pool (or add a few servers!).
If you have hundreds of thousands of clients this might get prohibitive (maybe not in terms of cost per client, but in getting corporate approval and all that). If so, get in touch and we'll figure out a way you can help keep the service viable.
The easiest way to contribute is via PayPal. If that doesn't work for you, please get in touch.

Seeing Keith Ray's post on ethanol I remembered reading various second-hand accounts about the net energy output of ethanol. After a bit of Googling, I thought I'd post the relevant links:
It's complicated how exactly you should judge an energy source, but from what I can tell it's mostly a question of how bad ethanol is.
One argument is that at least you can use domestic non-renewable energy sources to manufacture ethanol, like coal (which itself cannot be used in cars). But the environmental impact (especially considering greenhouse gasses) seems atrocious, any way you cut it. I can see why there's some argument for ethanol based on energy independence, but I can't see any environmental justification. But biomass proponents have always confused me. I think biomass seems naturally wholesome, since farmers and corn and wood and peat are all very wholesome seeming. Still, ADM is about as un-wholesome a company as you can get, and that's where ethanol is really coming from.
Apparently ethanol is big in Brazil. I don't know exactly why (is sugar cane more efficient than corn?) -- but I suspect for the same reasons as in the US, that it's just a complex and wasteful way of subsidizing farming.
A few points:
- Anyone who can cite an excact percentage of ethanols energy return is most likely lying and have some sort of agenda. The truth is that ethanol can be manufacturered in a number of different ways, using a number of different raw materials, so ethanol does not have an "inherent" energy return.
- Sugar cane is much more efficient than corn. The reason corn is used in the US is mainly because of farmer lobbying efforts. It is not an enviromentally friendly ethanol source. The oil industry is of course using this to slam ethanol as an energy medium/source in general.
- Brazil sells ethanol on the world market for HALF the price of oil. I do not know how much is export subsidies and if they use coal in the production process, but still.
- The energy return of a given ethanol production process is constant (and increasing in general as better processes are invented). The energy return of oil is constantly in decline. The return of energy of ethanol will surpass that of oil, this is certain.
- EU and US subsidizes biomass production anyway. Not using ethanol will not save the energy spent in that production.
- If zero net carbon energy sources are used for ethanol production, ethanol itself becomes zero net carbon. Oil can never acheive this.

Brazil uses ethanol production as a way of hedging its exposure to the sugar price. In times when the sugar price is low and the oil price is high, it diverts sugar cane into ethanol production and increases the amount of ethanol added to gasoline locally so that it needs to improt less oil. When the sugar price rises it sells more actual sugar and produces less ethanol.
Given that Brazil has such a large sugar crop, this is a very shrewd move on the part of its government.
It's not just that biomass "seems" natural. It absorbs carbon dioxide while it's growing, so the CO2 released when it's burned would be absorbed by the next crop.
That said, it's certainly true that some ethanol production has a negative energy balance. Corn isn't particularly suitable for ethanol. And, in the US, corn is very energy intensive to produce.
I understand that sugar-cane is much more efficient. The stated reason, here in Brazil, for shifting towards ethanol, was to become more self-sufficient and to avoid further oil shocks after the 70s. I'm not sure about the amount of coal available here, but I'd imagine that that goal would have been invalidated if there was a net energy-loss, and growing ethanol had used more imported oil than it substituted. I guess here it has a (maybe small) positive value.
Hi all,
I from Brazil. Lately we have produced "flex" cars that accept gasoline and ethanol (alchool). This cars are the most bought.
Well, I wait we undestand my english.
without more.
Yep flex is now very popular. We're hopefully going to get our car converted soon.
Alcohol is definitely cheaper than petrol. If it is energy negative, then the government must be doing a lot of subsidizing.

Just what is the current price on the street for ethanol fuel in Brazil?
# Dave Dow
Five Ethanol Plants Receive $46 Million in Government of Canada Funding - link
- snip:
- In making the announcement, Minister Mitchell noted that projects supported under both rounds of the Ethanol Expansion Program expect to be producing a total of about 1.2 billion litres of fuel ethanol per year by the end of 2007. This would bring Canadian production to approximately 1.4 billion litres per year, seven times what it was prior to the launch of the program, and enough to meet the Government of Canada's climate change target for ethanol production two years ahead of schedule. This target is to have 35 percent of all gasoline in Canada contain a blend of 10-percent ethanol by 2010. Additionally, the $118 million in funding the Government of Canada has allocated under the EEP will result in close to a $1-billion investment from the companies involved in the projects.
comment: yawn. I will believe the govt is acting responsibly when it starts to force companies and consumers to adapt to a "less oil" future.
Bike rider, energy investor. Who says we can't profit off other peoples foolishness?
I wish I had the links handy, but one paper on the net I saw said that corn-ethanol (as produced currently in the USA) produces 10% more energy than it consumes in production, but sugar-cane-ethanol (as produced currently in Brazil) produces 300% more energy than it consumes in production. That's a big difference. Brazil has had 30 years to improve its processes, and the USA is just getting started.
I also read that an inventor is seeking to test his system that uses the heat from composting to distill ethanol, which would allow farmers to produce their own ethanol, and be much more efficient in terms of energy expenditure.
I'm sure that after 30 years, the USA will have greatly increased its efficiency of producing ethanol, as well as other energy sources (for power-plants as well as cars) rivaling Brazil's current efficiencies. But it will take work and time, and must not be prevented from getting started.
No human brain can access all the data necessary to determine the net carbon output resulting from the use of ethanol from various processes. It takes a good computer algorithm to do that. However, one can get a general idea by just philosophizing about it.
For instance, accept that biomass carbon is being recycled no matter whether you use the energy to run automobiles or bacteria are using it to fill their own energy needs. When bacteria break glucose apart, a significant product is carbon dioxide. That causes the carbon dioxide produced by burning ethanol in an internal combustion engine a wash, or a near wash, with biodecomposition of biomass.
Carbon sequestered in gasoline from petroleum was done millions of years ago and, when released into the current atmosphere, causes a current increase in atmospheric levels of the carbon which cannot all be resequestered by plants at a rate fast enough to keep a balance. One need not have tests and statistics to realize these points.
A net zero in carbon dioxide change makes ethanol from biomass neutral as compared with emissions from coal, natural gas, or petroleum.
Current technology in conversion of biomass rich in hemicellulose (with a high xylose content), and cellulose (with a high glucose content), gives a truly economic road to ethanol for motor fuel with a net carbon neutral end use result. Though fermentation of glucose yields one molecule of carbon dioxide for one molecule of ethanol produced, and fermentation of xylose yields one molecule of carbon dioxide average in the three pathways use; two tons of biomass can yield one ton of motor fuel and the same amount of carbon dioxide as the same two tons of biomass burned in the field, or allowed to decay and compost.
# Frank Goodman
Pimintel's work is like comparing apples to oranges as he uses every conceivable energy input when calculating the cost for ethanol, down to how much heating oil is used to heat the farmers home! If you used the exact same methods for gasolie refining, well you would be in the $4-5 range.
# Dino Thomas
It's working on a mass scale in Brazil. It's helping the general public as well as the farmers.  Brazil is no small country.  How many more "feasability studies" by a bunch of phony titled pin-heads, funded by U.S. taxpayers will it take? We're in a bind. We're spending $2 billion/month on Bush's war (and were not even receiving any oil from Iraq), we're losing the very most precious assets we have: our dedicated, mostly youthful military servants. (Yeah, I know.. but I have failed to hear of one instance where DUB has suggested that his daughters should volunter to to go to Iraq to show their love and support for the Iraqi folks.)
Why don't we just stop the B.S. and produce Ethanol to operate our cars, light trucks, etc..??? This is a Major NO-BRAINER. Anyone who has ever taken one semester of Organic Chemistry can testify that this ancient technology works. Are we just too embarrassed to admit that Brazil has embraced this first?
# Phil Thomasson
No matter, what these critics say, Ethanol consumption is increasing in US, Brazil, China India, Europe etc, and at the same time Oil Prices are increasing.
In 2005, Chinese bought 6 million vehicles, this year, they may buy 7.2 million and as they buy more, more will be the Oil prices.
The good news on Ethanol front is that the Cellusosic Ethanol R&D is progressing at a much faster pace and also the devices to make a Gasolene vehicle run on Ethanol as well is coming to the marketplace.

TRAINING DAY Rater R 120 minutes Directed by Antoine Fuqua WHEN, WHERE Now playing: UA North, Trans-Lux Dream Catcher
It's a mean, bad world out there, and the guys with the responsibility to protect and serve sometimes have to be meaner and badder than the rest. That's the lesson veteran narcotics cop Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) devotes the training day of his rookie partner Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) to preaching. But just how mean and how bad? And who gets protected, and what gets served?
There's an operatic sweep to "Training Day", a score of foulness and violence that starts with small discords and swells up, up, and away into bombast, super-bombast, and finally oozes over the top into absurdity and cliché. To want to see this movie, you have to be willing to accept the kind of relentless, pounding violence that leaves faces a dripping pulp. A calloused ear for language is a help too. This is a movie that prides itself on not pulling any punches, verbal or physical.
Detective Alonzo Harris is a medieval warlord, running his fiefdom by laws of his own devising, ruling by power, terror, and the scattering of favors. Washington plays him with a charismatic swagger, charm wrapped thinly around a wrecking ball. It is hard to think of another star who could have elevated this character to a level that would justify the two hours this script demands of us. It's a performance that is likely to earn him another Oscar nomination, not because it's such a well-written role, but because Washington's huge talent riddles it with fascinating dramatic contradictions, and his scenery-chewing magnetism inflates it to proportions that demand attention.
It's a tough performance to have to share the screen with, and while Ethan Hawke battles gamely and sometimes effectively for his camera time, he often seems to be struggling just to breathe the depleted oxygen Washington has sucked away. His Jake is our eyes and ears on the inferno of Alonzo's through-the-looking-glass underworld, a good guy trying to conceal his naiveté and run with the big dogs, while at the same time trying to draw a line beyond which he will not betray his sense of ethics. "You remind me of myself," Alonzo is fond of saying when Jake erupts with principled resistance to his methods. But "in this world you gotta have a little dirt on you for people to trust you."
At first, the misery Alonzo puts Jake through seems like rough-hewn but good-natured hazing, but it gradually descends into the sadistic and the satanic. Jake sometimes seems unnecessarily naïve: "What if that guy makes a complaint?" he asks querulously after Alonzo has worked over a street lowlife. And yet even when Alonzo's actions seem unambiguously evil, he manages to pull another reversal and cast them as tough but necessary tactics in the battle against the bad guys.
There is an establishment, and Alonzo is a different and diffident man when he comes up against it. There's a nice scene in a coffee shop with three old pros, Harris Yulin, Raymond J. Barry, and lapsed leading man Tom Berenger as suits from the D.A.'s office waxing cynical about the legal system and warning Harris about the danger he faces from the Russian Mafia.
The movie's worst sins, if you discount its gargantuan appetite for violence and villainy, come in the form of desperate plot turns in the last twenty minutes or so. Most unforgivable is a deus ex machina reprieve that Jake gets when things look so grim that there should be no escape. It's like one of those cartoons in boys' magazines of yesteryear where the hero is dangling from a cliff with crocodiles snapping at his legs from below and lions closing in from above, and the challenge is to send in the winning suggestion for saving the poor guy. And after that it only gets worse, with scenes pilfered from old westerns and action-adventures and "Bonnie and Clyde". Director Antoine Fuqua ("Replacement Killers") has done a strong job up until then of measuring out the tension and tightening the net, but in the end he screws up badly, throwing in the directorial sponge as if he's succeeded in scaring himself and just wants out.

A Time Traveler may not want to confuse random passers-by by asking them "What Year Is This?", so they'll find a newspaper or other conveniently dated artifact instead. A standard joke has one character using the architecture, the fashions, the technology, and the incidents on TV to come up with a guess at the year, only for someone else to correct them after reading the paper.
Technology Marches On, and while they continue to be printed, it is still to be seen how long newspapers will be available to check this in runs to the future, what with the prevalence of people reading the news on their smartphone on their way to work. Though of course this trope probably won't ever be truly discredited, unlike most tropes involving newspapers, since time-travel can still always bring a character to an era where newspapers were more relevant.
Not to be confused with personal ads, or with Authentication by Newspaper.
Examples:
- Cowboy Bebop does a somewhat serious take on the joke version of this: In order to demonstrate the extent of her remaining memory after waking from a cold-sleep, Faye identifies a series of slightly futuristic-looking objects on the table next to her. Her lawyer then makes a point of showing her just how far into the future she's been thrown by demonstrating that the items are not a TV, a water pitcher, and a phone but rather a miniature washing machine, a device for washing faces, and a thermometer.
- Kyon uses this method at one point during The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya to figure out what year he is in after using Nagato's escape program. He considers asking What Year Is This?, but swiftly discards the idea after realizing how demented he would look to others and instead heads for a convenience store to check the newspapers.
- Played straight in Hatenkou Yuugi, as this is the way Rahzel finally realized she's been send in the past.
- A more short term version appears in Mahou Sensei Negima!. Chao sends Negi and his friends a week into the future to the point that she has already won the battle. They realize something is up (the massive School Festival has disappeared), but they don't figure out what happened until Yue sees the date on a newspaper. Chisame finds out separately over the internet.
- The protagonist of The Big Lie from Image Comics (a book about the events of 9/11) does this at the start of the story, discovering she has arrived several days earlier than she intended.
- Played with in the Blake and Mortimer book The Time Trap: Mortimer finds himself alone in a post apocalyptic future. He finds an inscription in some ruins reading "2015-2050" and thus believes himself to be in the mid 21st century...until he meets someone else and mentions the date only to be informed he's actually in 5060: the ruins he was in were of a city destroyed in 2075.
- A Donald Duck story had a scam artist turn a newspaper from the 3rd to the 8th with a marker.
- Subverted in a 1993 Dylan Dog storyline, where the eponymous hero wakes up with amnesia in a post-apocalyptic future. It's only near the end of the story that he finds, in the ruins of a library, a collection of (very aged) newspapers running up to 2001, the year civilization ended. Dylan deduces he must be in the early 21st century... Then, not three panels later, he reads on a solar-powered clock it's August 4th, 2560.
- The Flash: The classic story "Flash of Two Worlds" sees Barry end up in a city he's never heard of after performing an Indian rope trick. He looks at a newspaper to determine "when" he is — seeing the date and year are the same as they were before, he realizes he hasn't traveled through time. It's later revealed that he's on Earth-2, an alternate universe's version of Earth where DC's Golden Age characters live.
- In Black Fortunes Harry spots a newspaper in passing and is dismayed to realize he's back in 1975.
- In Dumbledore's Army, Harry receives visions of two future attacks. A few chapters are spent trying to pinpoint these through newspapers and school assignments.
- Inverted in Out of Time when Kenshin from the revolution ends up time traveling twelve years into the future (during the main series). While Sano has figured out what's going on, Kenshin isn't convinced (and is rather intent on killing Sano, believing he's a spy). Sano's barely able to get him to look at an old discarded newspaper, which wins him over.
- In a variation in With Strings Attached, the four find out that they're in an alternate New York, New Zork, in 1954, from a license plate. Given what they did in New York had taken place in 1964, they feel pretty safe in wandering around without fear of being mobbed. That is, until Ringo, lagging behind the others, plucks a newspaper out of the trash and finds to his horror that in this universe, the Beagles have just arrived in the city.... Cue the ensuing of hilarity.
- In Naturally Harry uses a newsstand paper to verify that it's currently 1927.
- In The Second String Harry discovers that it's 1976 from a discarded Daily Mirror.
- In Against My Nature Harry realizes it's 1925 when he sees a Daily Prophet article about Grindlewald.
- In 50 First Dates, a character with short-term memory loss doesn't know what year it is, until she sees a newspaper. This is the result of her father arranging for hundreds of copies of the newspaper from the day of her accident, to keep her from having to deal with it for as long as possible.
- Marty does this in the first and second Back to the Future movies. Played with in Back to the Future Part II, where the newspaper confirms Marty has the right date, he's just in a different timeline. And then there's a *Click* Hello.

- A variation occurs in Field of Dreams, where Ray figures out he's walked back into 1972 by checking the registration date on a Minnesota license plate.
- In Idiocracy, Joe (and the viewer) finds out what year he's in by seeing a magazine covernote dated 2505 (which he thinks is a misprint), and then a receipt that confirms the date on the magazine.
- The attempt at newspaper dating in Men in Black 3 doesn't work because the guy in the elevator keeps shifting the date on the paper out of J's line of sight. J finally just asks him What Year Is It?.
- In Time After Time, after H. G. Wells demonstrates his time-machine to his skeptical 20th Century girlfriend by taking her a few days into the future, she confirms that his time-machine works when she sees a newspaper dated a few days later. She then reads about her own murder on the front page. Earlier in the movie, when he arrives in 1979, he already knows when he is, but makes use of a newspaper to find out where he is (apparently not having realized he'd traveled from London to San Francisco).
- Subverted in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Spock determines from the pollution in the atmosphere as being "the latter half of the twentieth century" and Kirk doesn't ask to get more specific than that as it doesn't matter. Later, Kirk is seen looking at a newspaper machine, but only to confirm that the time period still has a currency-based economy and they will need to acquire some money in order to complete the mission.
- In "Against the Current" by Robert Silverberg the main character starts drifting backwards through time from 2008 with his Prius, and regularly checks newspapers to determine how far he's gone — first 1983, then 1973, then 1971 and so on.
- Variation in Animorphs: Jake, while trapped in a post-apocalyptic New York City, tries to determine when humanity lost by the dates in a bombed-out magazine stand.
- Around the World in 80 Days has what might be considered a non-time-travel aversion, in that Phileas Fogg apparently never checks the date on a newspaper after crossing the Pacific. Had he done so he would have realised that he had gained a day after crossing the International Date Line.
- Isaac Asimov and Janet Asimov's The Norby Chronicles:
- Norby and the Queen's Necklace:
- In chapter two, the first time the characters activate the necklace, Jeff finds a newspaper on the floor, establishing that they're in Paris, France, and that they arrived on February 1, 1785.
- In chapter four, after Norby rescues Jeff and Marcel from the executioner, Marcel picks up a newspaper that says the date is April 16, 1896. Jeff cant because he and Norby are Fading Away.
- In chapter eleven, Norby is the one who finds a newspaper, giving us the date of July 14, 1805. It shows that time has been changed, because people arent celebrating Bastille Day.
- Norby Finds a Villain: In chapter four, Jeff uses the menu of the RMS Titanic to recognize that it was April 14, 1912. When he realizes that the ship is sinking, he orders Norby to take them away.
- Norby and the Queen's Necklace:
- Robert A. Heinlein:
- Time Enough for Love. Lazarus Long travels back in time and reads a newspaper to learn the current date: August 1, 1916. This is about three years earlier than he intended to arrive, since he'd planned to skip World War I.
- Toward the end of Methuselah's Children, the characters have returned to Earth in their stolen starship, but don't want to land until they know how much time has passed since they fled an oppressive government. One of the characters, Andy Libby, determines the approximate date by examining the relative positions of the planets in the Solar System. (75 years have passed.)
- This appears whenever Bobby arrives on First Earth (Earth in the year 1937) in The Pendragon Adventure.
- The limited-run school stories anthology Spooky has a lot of its stories featuring this trope, mainly because people ended up in the past a lot.
- Played with in To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. The main character needs to find out the exact date he landed in order to correctly fulfill his Set Right What Once Went Wrong mission. He finds a newspaper, but doesn't realize that it's several days old.
- Connie Willis does this again in Blackout. A time traveler finds half a newspaper and tries to use it to figure out the date. First it turns out to be the half that doesn't have the date printed on it, so he has to use his knowledge of history to correlate the stories in the paper with the date. After he manages to figure it out, he starts talking to people, and through a series of conversational missteps realizes that the paper is again several days older than he thought it was.
- Subverted in a 1997 episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun. Dick, who already thinks he's losing his mind, is in a doctor's waiting room filled with, of course, old magazines. After rifling through them, he panics, declaring "Oh my god, it's 1994!"
- Angel. After spending sixteen years in a hell dimension, Holtz looks at a newspaper to see what year it is and is shocked to find that only days have passed since he left.
- This shows up in the Charmed episode "That '70s Episode", when the protagonists time-travel back to the 1970s.
- Doctor Who:
- In "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", the TARDIS crew discover they are in 2164 (or later) from a calendar in an abandoned warehouse.
- "The Chase" sees a variant of this trope. Ian & Barbara find out theyre (near enough) home by checking the windscreen of the nearest parked car to find its tax disc expires on New Years Eve 1965. (This is referenced in An Adventure in Space and Time when the audience is shown that it is 1966 by displaying a car's tax disc.)
- In "The Enemy of the World", Jamie finds out he's in 2018 by looking at the expiration date of the tax disc on the helicopter that's just picked him up. (Hilarious in Hindsight - tax discs were phased out in the UK in 2014.)
- In "The Unquiet Dead", the Doctor uses a paper to determine that they are not, in fact, in 1860 Naples, but rather 1869 Cardiff. Rose doesn't care until she hears that last bit. "Right..."
- In "Rise of the Cybermen", the TARDIS crashes and Mickey uses this method to determine that they have landed in modern London; it then transpires that they've passed into a parallel universe by accident.
- Also used in "Daleks in Manhattan", where the Doctor attempts to work out the date from how complete the Empire State Building is, whilst Martha picks up a newspaper from a bench behind them.
- In "Human Nature", a teacher called John Smith wakes up from a strange dream in which he's a doctor caught up in adventures in the far-flung future of 2007. His maid, who just happens to resemble his companion in that dream, assures him that it's 1913 and hands over the daily paper as proof.
- Kathy Nightingale does this in "Blink", though it's as much to convince her that she time-travelled at all as to determine the date.
- In "The Unicorn and the Wasp", the Doctor figures out what year it is by other clues, but the exact date turns out to be important.
- Another take on this trope is the Doctor (who has Seen It All) telling the date from the technology around him, e.g. in "Kill the Moon".
Courtney: This isn't the Moon. Where are we?
The Doctor: On a recycled space shuttle. 2049, judging by that prototype version of the Bennett oscillator. - "Rosa" has the Doctor doing this to deduce that her and her companions are in town the day before a pivotal historical event, which means they can't just leave since someone is clearly attempting to meddle with it.
- This trope is how the protagonists of FlashForward (2009) find out that the eponymous flash forwards are supposed to show the future. As well as in its modern incarnation, Journeyman.
- Kamen Rider Zi-O pulls a variation in the first episode, with Sougo checking the expiration date on a milk carton to confirm that he's really gone back in time to 2017.
- That was a key element of a two-part Faked Rip Van Winkle ploy in the first Mission: Impossible series. After escaping the futuristic hospital he had woken up in, the mark goes to the first newspaper booth he sees (right in front of the hospital) and "discovers" that he hasn't been out that long... but still a day longer than he really was.
- In the 1981 Afterschool Special My Mother was Never a Kid Victoria Martin, after getting into an argument with her mother, seemingly travels through time during a subway trip and meets her mother as a teenager, she only confirms her travel by finding a newspaper dated 1944. She comes to realize that she and her mother are very much the same. In the end we find out it was all just a dream.
- The Outer Limits (1995):
- In "Vanishing Act", Trevor McPhee realizes that he has traveled ten years into the future when he sees issues of Time Magazine and Life dated 1959.
- "The Origin of Species" has a variation. A group think they have been transported to an alien planet, but gradually figure out they are in the distant future. A look at the expiration date of a discarded candy bar wrapper confirms this. (By no means accurate, but close enough for their purposes).
- Played with in Red Dwarf, "Backwards" - the date on the newspaper was 3991, but by that point Kryten had realized that everything was backwards, so the actual year was 1993.
- Star Trek:
- Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Spectre of the Gun", Captain Kirk finds a copy of the Tombstone Epitaph dated October 26th, 1881. On YouTube here, starting at 5:30.note
- Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Time's Arrow: Part I", Data does this to tell both where and when he is by finding a copy of the San Francisco Register dated August 13, 1893.
- Averted in Star Trek: Voyager. In "Future's End", the ship time traveled back to Earth in 1996, which they find out just by doing an astrometric reading. And in "Fury", having travelled back to a past Voyager, Kes just asks the ship's computer for the date.
- Supernatural:
- In the episode "In The Beginning", Dean realizes he's been sent back in time by the angel Castiel when he goes into a diner and sees the date on the newspaper of the man next to him (who happens to be his father). He also does it when he is raised from the dead in "Lazarus Rising" due to time flowing much slower in Hell than on Earth.
- When carried forward to a Bad Future where Croatoan virus has swept over the Earth, Dean reads the date on a government warning sign announcing the area he's in is a hot zone. Zachariah (the angel who sent him there) later turns up to read the newspaper to him, just to ram home what a Crapsack World it is.
- After traveling forward in time from 1958, Henry Winchester (Dean's grandfather) reads the registration on the Impala. "2013? My god! I guess the Mayans were wrong."
- The season 3 episode of Teen Wolf, "Motel California" has a cold open that shows a flashback to 1975, when an Argent relative checked into the featured motel of the episode and killed himself before transforming into a werewolf. Newspapers and the dates they display are a recurring theme of this episode, tempting the audience to believe that this episode and the motel itself may actually feature a connection to time-travel and bringing to the table the possibility that Lydia's powers give her the ability to sense death throughout all of time (evidenced by the fact that she heard 2 deaths in the room next door, when the deaths occurred prior to the group's arrival at the motel).
- In the first episode of season 2 of Timewasters, the band arrives in the 1950s and Lauren identifies the year as 1958 from a discarded newspaper on the street: the lead story being about Russian spies.
- The Twilight Zone (1959): In "A Hundred Yards over the Rim", Chris Horn, who is from 1847, realizes that he is in the future when he sees a calendar dated 1961 in Joe's diner.
- The Twilight Zone (1985):
- In "Grace Note", after being transported through time, Rosemarie Miletti picks up a copy of The New York Herald and learns that it is March 22, 1986, 20 years in her future.
- In "The Once and Future King", Gary Pitkin realizes that he has gone back in time and is talking to the real Elvis Presley when he finds a copy of The Commercial Appeal dated Monday July 3, 1954 with a prominent photo of Dwight D. Eisenhower on the front page.
- In Fairy Fencer F, in at least two of the three alternate timelines, the party discovers that they've traveled in time thanks to this. Humorously, in the Goddess timeline, Fang has no idea what Eryn is trying to convey when she shows him the newspaper at first, thinking she just dredged up an old copy of the newspaper from somewhere.
- Deliberately subverted in The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure, because newspapers only say what day of which month it is, not the year. Other documents that do suggest dates by year are wildly contradictory (e.g. a book given as a signed gift in the 1950s, yet published in 1978).
- In Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Layton first realizes how far into the future he is when he finds a newspaper and realizes that the date is 10 years into the future.
- In TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, Cortez picks up a photo of the Big Bad. The Mission Control proposes a complex scheme to determine when/where to send Cortez to, regarding the building heights and designs. Cortez waits through the speech, then reads out the date, time and place from the back of the photo.
- While no time travel is involved, both Red Dead Redemption and its sequel/prequel go through a time skip before the Playable Epilogue starts. The amount of time that passed off-screen is usually not mentioned in dialogue, so the simplest way to find out what year it is is to buy a newspaper.
- Parodied in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. The time traveler in question looks at a newspaper to see what year it is, and, well... see for yourself.
- Fate/type Redline: Kanata Akagi is a boy from 2020 who gets sent to the past. He finds a newspaper that confirms he is in 1945.
- In Batman: The Brave and the Bold's universe-jumping adventure, Batman discovers that he's traveled into the future as well as across universes from a newspaper.
- Courage the Cowardly Dog: In "One Thousand Years of Courage", Courage and his family end up in a world ruled by sentient bananas, and when Courage points out the date on a newspaper, they realize they've been flung a thousand years into the future.
- G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero also does it to confirm they haven't time-traveled, with the same result, in their universe-jumping adventure in the original series.
- Justice League did this to confirm that they hadn't time traveled when they went to an alternate universe containing the Justice Guild, and Unlimited did it in "The Once and Future Thing, Part One: Weird Western Tales".
- On the Looney Tunes short "The Old, Grey Hare", Elmer is sent to the far-off year of 2000 AD, which he figures out from a conveniently placed newspaper. He also learns that, among other things, television has been replaced by smellovision.
Carl Stalling sez, "It will never work!"
- In the episode "Agent Doof" of Phineas and Ferb, Candace attempts to use this to convince her Mom that Phineas and Ferb were turned into babies when the pictures she sends are mistaken for old, scrounged-up baby photos.
- In X-Men, when Bishop time-travels he simply picks up a newspaper and reads the date off the front page.


During signup you will be directed to Dropbox. Log in and grant Knownly permission to create a folder where your website(s) files will live.
Knownly.net sub-domains are free so you can try things out straight away. You can also claim any domain you own and link that to a website folder.
Now it's time to create your site. Work with one of our templates, get advice from our community, or craft something of your very own.
Hi,
My name is Dwight and Knownly is my little creation.
I first had the idea to host websites straight from Dropbox a while back while I was reading through the Dropbox API docs for another project. Then the light bulb went on...
It turned out to be a great way to quickly put landing pages for new ideas online. I could also do away with all the Wordpress blogs I'd been roped in to managing over the years. I shared Knownly with a few friends and found out it's also useful to creatives, designers and developers (plus people wanting to learn these skills). The best part is having full control over the designs but not having to worry about web hosting anymore.
I'm really pleased that Knownly is finally out there. I hope you find it useful and I would love to hear any feedback you may have.

I'm hard working and focused on solving problems. I'm always interested in hearing about positions in hardware design or software development. I'd love to connect if you have an opening.
While working as a test engineer at Jabil, I have worked primarily on high silicon verification hardware emulators. I helped design and build several of the tests and the automation framework that helped speed up the production line. I also help the technicians debug any difficult hardware or software failures encountered on the line. Apart from this, I have built software and tests for several different products and workcells to improve production and debug efficiency or the quality of the product itself.
I designed and created several dyesensitized solar cells and used university equipment to determine the quantum efficiency of each. I also studied possible alternative materials to reduce the cost of the cells.
I worked on discriminating neutron and gamma recoils detected by the Xenon100 experiment. We were attempting to detect Dark Matter and eventually determine if it is a new elementary particle (specifically whether it was a WIMP).
During my internship at Saudi Emircom, I studied wave demulitplexing and optical fiber splicing along with encountered implementation problems.
At Alcatel-Lucent, I primarily studied current optical fiber technology and practical implementation issues in Saudi Arabia.
I designed and buit the stromboli.in website according to customer specifications.
I set up servers and wrote scripts to collect and update information at regular intervals.
Suboptimal is a minimalistic command line interface (CLI) subtitle finder written in Rust. It works for any video, movie or TV show you have! If the subtitles exist on a publically available database online, suboptimal will find and download it for you.
This is a very simple Rust program designed to check a remote mail server where notmuch is setup and provide a notification on your client computer if new mail has arrived. It also plays a small wav file as part of the notification.
I have a personal blog, where I write about things that I find interesting. You can find it here.
Take a look at a branch of my knowledge base wiki (written in org mode!) where I go through text books that I think are important here.

[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Morning all
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> howdy
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Sat morning sleep in
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Hi there @AndronicusBass
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> How's it going
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Nice, is a cheat day? what you normally like to eat on such a fine day?
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> I tried Agama last night Amd it synched EQLI well
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> No I'll start work out after another cup coffee
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Ive already had 3 double espressos, did an all nighter. glad i did because the plce next door is getting demolished and It would have got my blood boiling getting woken up to it on a sat morning. Property development. Smaller dwellings, higher prices
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Didnt know they were starting up this morning
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> going to catch up with a mate this morning anyway
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> dang, you can tell ive had a few coffees lol
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Love that picture of the dome surrounded by destroyed buildings , not that destroyed buildings are a nice sight , but that dome actually looks pretty darn good , would make an excellent advertising billboard ,if not for the devastated population of people that went through that catastrophe
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> I know what you mean.
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> It kind of looks like its made from adobe
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> It would make a good conversation starter that though
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> not the photoshop kind lol
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83>
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83>
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> haha
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> I will show this to all that i try to explain the Equaliser project to , it might help them understand better what its all about
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Thanks for sharing this with us
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Cheers. Yeah I've found that it takes different wording for different people to picture what Equaliser is all about
(edited)
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> I've condensed the key points into dot points in #welcome-invite its the last post which is from me
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> After all the info out there, i saw a question on bitcointalk which blew me away. let me find it, 2 secs
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Ok , thanks for that aswell @AndronicusBass-Founder
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> "Who pays to build the low cost houses, and do the builders need to accept your token? I want to understand the economics of your idea, it is a noble goal, but where is the wealth coming from to build the houses, from the ico?"
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder>
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> i must admit, i too had similar questions when i first heard about this project, i mean im still fairly new here but iv learnt some things along the way that helped me understand better
[dscrdeql] <MassimoStyle> i have been wondering where did the trivia and stuff go?
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> A lot of people just dont want to read things , they just want to be told or shown the answers, iv found doing your own research first and then if you have got questions afterwards its ok to ask , but a bit more effort on the research side helps understand the full picture so much better, ( everyone absorbs information in there own little ways , so taking the time to find out the facts and then come to your own conclusions works best ) in my opinion anyway
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Exactly. Im lucky enough that research has been a past time or hobby if you will, Over half a decade of learning economic fundamentals and some Australian law as well as a number of other things. I just know the global economy cant continue to sustain the amount of debt it's in and only a matter of time when credit cycles deleverage.
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Just saw that dome pic with destroyed houses around it....lol....it's actually so small it reminds me of one of those wood fire pizza ovens...
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> @stretcher83 yes interesting point that people read different things into what they hear and read.
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> That's why it's important to get the Equaliser name out through different type media, and different interest groups
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> I want to build a wood fire oven, in high school i had a part time job as a wood oven pizza chef, cooked heaps of things in it for food prep too, roasted capsicum, marinated chicken for the pastas, baguettes, calzones
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Not just crypto
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> You can buy them for home from Bunnings I believe
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> Theyre small. Looks good though.
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Never tried making pizza in one before though
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> They do add a great taste tip the pizza
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I have a great aircrete recipe you can build one with andy.
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83>
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> we are building a forge here in the shop lol
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> so Im assuming itll work for an oven as well
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Nice
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Forge very cool
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Iv got a mate that want to build himself a small forge , he likes making knives
A few weeks ago, we attended the Gathering at Five Medals in Goshen IN. We went with an experiment in mind - could you make a mud oven from scratch at an eve...
In this video we show you how to build an earthen oven. Wood-fired earthen ovens are easily documented all the way back the ancient Romans. Likewise, they ar...
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> As a hobby
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> a forge, nice. could be portable
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Yea that looks like the pizza oven that they use in the pizza shop
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> same type I cooked with but bigger
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> that guy has a pirate hat on!
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> lol
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Just need a long handled tray to slide right deep into oven
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> arrrr!
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> lol i like pirate!
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I have been mining it for a week
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Haha...pirate in the making....ahoy pizza eaters
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> I see a lot of people talking about it, pirate
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> @PigBenis and I have made a killing on it this week
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Im focusing on verus still
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Is there a dedicated discord
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> I tried mining earlier this year for a few months. Made about $10 in coins and got a power bill an extra $250 for that quarter...not worth mining in Australia
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Iv looked but not found one, they seem to have closed it
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Thats a shame that,
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> In Australia i mean
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> Yea
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> Its in Komodo discord
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> under #pirate
[dscrdeql] <SwimedDragon> Anyone here holding Vitae?
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Iv checked out that section on komodo discord,
[dscrdeql] <stretcher83> Vitae , nope, not heard of that one
[dscrdeql] <SwimedDragon> It was mentioned in here like a month ago, when it was at around 3k sats, it's over 57k now

Case Notes
Discussed: 911 F. Supp. 2d 972 (2012).


RFX-B is the gene responsible for the most common cause of the bare lymphocyte syndrome, an MHC class II immunodeficiency[ published erratum appears in Immunity 1999 Mar; 10 (3): 399] The bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS) is characterized by the absence of MHC class II transcription and humoral- and cellular-mediated immune responses to foreign antigens.
Abstract
Three of the four BLS genetic complementation groups have defects in the activity of the MHC class II transcription factor RFX. We have purified the RFX complex and sequenced its three subunits. The sequence of the smallest subunit describes a novel gene, termed RFX-B. RFX-B complements the predominant BLS complementation group (group B) and was found to be mutant in cell lines from this BLS group. The protein has no known DNA-binding domain but does contain three ankyrin repeats that are likely to be important in protein-protein interactions.
