The brilliant space Web site collectSPACE has a great article about the Smithsonian's efforts to prepare Enterprise for flight.
OV-101, the original atmospheric-flight-test space shuttle orbiter, is currently on display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center hangar. Since the Smithsonian has already laid claim to Discovery after the orbiter fleet is retired, the museum is going to relinquish Enterprise for display elsewhere, and is currently preparing her to be transported to that as-yet-undetermined location.
My vote for that as-yet-undetermined location, of course, is Huntsville.
First, I believe that the three available orbiters — Enterprise, Atlantis and Endeavour — should, as did the three remaining Saturn V rockets, go to the museums at the three NASA centers most associated with human space flight — Johnson, Kennedy and Marshall. I realize there are other worthy sites, and acknowledge my bias here, but I think those are the best places for them.
Now, to be sure, I wouldn't turn away a flown orbiter if they really wanted to put one here. I initially considered Enterprise as a consolation prize; that the two remaining flown orbiters were more likely to end up somewhere else, but I'm beginning to think that Enterprise might be the best fit here on her own merits.
For one thing, Enterprise has history here. She came to Huntsville in 1978 for vibration studies in Marshall's Dynamic Test Stand. See here, here, here and here. Columbia, at least, flew through Huntsville once, but Huntsville and Marshall don't have the same relationship with any of the flown orbiters that we do with Enterprise.
And, in addition, she fits. Right now, we have "two" Saturn V rockets here, making us unique. One is just a model, standing vertically outside the museum. The other, the "real" one, is the Dynamic Test Vehicle, which was also used for vibration studies at the Dynamic Test Stand and then sent to Kennedy to test out the infrastructure there. In other words, it's the Enterprise of Saturn Vs.
We also have one "orbiter" already, OV-098 Pathfinder, which is essentially a model, though that description fails to do justice to her role and history.
Enterprise, then, would complete the set. One model and one dynamic test article each for the Saturn V and the shuttle. My dream would be that we even display them the same — the 500F Saturn V and Enterprise both displayed horizontally in nice buildings, and Pathfinder and the Saturn V model both displayed vertically outside. (I'm not sure about the structural feasibility of putting Pathfinder on end, she's had problems enough lying down, but as long as I'm thinking wishfully … )
So, contact your congressman today and tell them to send Enterprise to Huntsville! Or something!

We've been promising power upgrades for our '07 Audi A3 2.0T for several months now but small obstacles keep popping up. The latest was uncertainty over the cam belt swap, which we thought was due but Audi has now extended the period until 110,000 miles. In the initial confusion over the procedure, we decided to clarify the situation before risking an old belt on the dyno.
In the meantime, the guys at OEMplus in Laguna Hills, CA had offered to install a Bluetooth module to make the car more user-friendly.
As we've mentioned before, we got a great deal on the A3 but it has almost no optional extras. So we've been upgrading it slowly, previously fitting the aluminum-carbon interior trim from the European Audi RS3, also obtained from OEMplus.
With so many states demanding hands-free in-car phone use, Bluetooth devices have become an essential part of a car's inventory. Because we swap vehicles fairly regularly, we carry around small earpieces, but nothing beats the clarity and convenience of a built-in OE system.
Available in Europe through many dealerships, the Kufatec Fiscon Bluetooth kits are recommended by OEMplus and have been designed to integrate into the vehicle seamlessly, needing no additional wiring. In fact, all the tools you need to fit the kit are radio removal keys, T25 torx, Philips screwdriver, 8mm socket, trim tool and Ross-Tech VAG-Com. The latter is obviously to re-code the car so it sees the phone kit, muting the radio automatically to take a call, etc. The trim tool can be bought on Amazon.com and allows you to remove trim without damage. If you're working on a VW (the kits are available for VW, Audi and BMW applications – see below), you won't need the radio keys to remove the head unit since they're screwed in.
Fiscon offers several kits for Audis, depending on your car's equipment. With our "Concert" DVD/tuner and no nav, we needed the cheaper Fiscon Basic kit, which includes the control module, wiring harness and microphone.
The kit was supplied with a round mic, but a rectangular one is available at a $32 premium and should fit behind the dome light better – this didn't fit our car, which already had a hole for the round mic.
Once fitted, the kits allow you to pair a Bluetooth phone to the car to make calls or stream music. The music uses the A2DP protocol, so only plays in stereo on the front speakers, rather than quadraphonic on all the car's speakers. This can affect the playback of some tracks on your iPod, but it should be OK with Pandora, for example.
If you have an in-car screen or multi-function display (MFD), you can dial and receive calls, view missed or recent calls, as well as access your phone book. It works like any OE in-car system with full functionality. As a bonus, some VW models also give you an additional display for oil and water temp, RPM and boost directly from the ECU. VWs with the RNS-510 head unit can even use voice commands to operate the phone. See oemplus.com for more info.
Getting started
Fitting the Fiscon kit is certainly a DIY proposition if you're moderately confident. Otherwise OEMplus will install it for $150 plus the price of the kit (see below).
At step 5 we had some problems with the volume control. Our basic DVD head unit wasn't able to adjust the volume; OEMplus suspects we need steering wheel controls to do so. We hope to address this with an Audi S3 steering wheel upgrade. Until then, we can adjust the volume from the phone itself. We also have to make and receive calls from the phone itself, since we have no MFD to display information nor control buttons to operate it. As we said, the car was cheap but we're now finding its limitations. However, the calls come across the front speakers crystal clear, with good voice clarity. The mic also picks up our conversation without having to raise your voice. We can now stream music for the first time, so we're finally entering the multimedia era!
For the price of this Fiscon Basic unit (and its simple installation that should take about 90min), we've enhanced the convenience of Project A3 considerably for its daily driving duties.
If you own a newer VW/Audi, BMW or Mercedes, you can upgrade to Bluetooth just as easily with these OE-quality Fiscon modules that make the car more interactive, while keeping your phone use legal.
Rubbing Problems
In the first installment of Project A3, we did a number of ambitious chassis modifications to improve the handling and appearance of the car.
Against some advice, we went for 235/35 R19 Conti DW tires on our 19" TSW Nurburgring wheels, and opted for H&R's Ultra-low coilovers because we always want our cars to be as low as physically possible.
Problem is, for daily use the rear was rubbing with its tucked tires. If the car wasn't used to haul parts regularly, we might have overlooked it but the rubbing was an annoyance so we decided to address it.
The first step was to fit slightly narrower 225/35 R19 Continental DW tires all round. These are the same compound as before, so we know they work great in the wet and dry, but the lower sidewall and narrower tread meant it would avoid the fender.
We also obtained slightly taller springs from H&R, who could happily substitute the same springs into the Ultra-low kit on request. We had them fitted in minutes by the team at Supreme Power Parts in Placentia, CA. They know the car after helping out in the past with several mods and had suggested the alterations to alleviate the problems.
Although the ride is slightly harsher with the lower sidewalls, the car still rides remarkably well for such a low stance, and the rubbing seems to have disappeared, which was our original goal.
Next month
Cam belt problem resolved, we're hoping to hit the dyno and install some power parts (although we've said this for months now!).

Dale Romans, trainer of Dullahan, now the 9-5 morning-line favorite for the Belmont: "It's devastating. I really wanted him to compete. This was going to be a special race, one of the biggest races of our time. It's just devastating."
"We're going to inherit the role as favorite, but I'd rather have him in there. I think we could have competed with him and it would have been a great race and great for the sport. It would have been something special to beat him."
"I heard right after we trained that the vets were in there working on him. My assistants called me and when I came back there, I saw they had an ultrasound machine and that's never a good sign."
"It's usually something that just happens. You're under too much scrutiny here. If something was going on, we would have seen it on the racetrack before this. It's just a shame."
"It's not even good for me, because I am racing. It would have been better for me to go out there and beat him. I don't want to win it with an asterisk by his name; I wanted to compete with him."
"I don't know if [the detention barn] played a role in this or not, but we're always going to wonder. We will always wonder."
Michael Matz, trainer, Union Rags (by telephone): "I came home last night. I didn't know what the situation was and today people were texting back and forth. I feel sorry for the horse. It would have been nice to try to get the Triple Crown, that's for sure."
Ken McPeek, trainer of Belmont contenders Unstoppable U and Atigun: "I feel really terrible for the connections. To do what they've done and what they've been through – it's like completely letting the air out of a balloon. Doug has done this for a long time and he'll keep his head up and they'll come back in the future."
D. Wayne Lukas, trainer, Optimizer: "I feel bad for Doug, to get that close. I had Timber Country, the favorite for the (2005) Belmont and scratched the night before. The assistant said Timber Country had a 105 temperature. I want to talk to him. That's the part of the game the public doesn't understand. It's not like you can do this thing and just run him another time. You only get one chance to do this. From the standpoint of a purist it's a blow. It will be a very good race, anyhow.
"A.P. Indy came out of the Derby. We've had it before. It's not unprecedented. For Doug to get the horse this far, he's had to practically live with him. It practically brings you to your knees. It's humbling."
Dominick Schettino, trainer, Five Sixteen: "It's a shame what happened, a potential Triple Crown winner. It would have been great for the sport."
Kelly Breen, trainer of My Adonis and 2011 Belmont winner Ruler On Ice: "I feel bad for the connections, I have to be be honest with you. To get so close and have something like that happen, is very unfortunate. I'm sure that the fans will be disappointed, but the Belmont's the Belmont. It's still a Triple Crown race."
"We'll still go over with our game plan tomorrow. All I can do is try to get my horse ready, and that's it."
(My Adonis trained at 5:30 this morning, the same time as I'll Have Another): "He looked pretty good going out to the track [this morning]. I didn't see him coming back because I was done before him, but he did look good."
Doodnauth Shivmangal, owner-trainer, Guyana Star Dweej: "What I do in the morning, I look at my horses. I don't look at other people's horses. As a trainer, I don't breeze too much myself, but I thought something wasn't right."
"If you have an ankle or a knee, you can try to work with it, but a tendon is a very, very serious issue in a racehorse. Every time they stretch that tendon, it gets worse and worse. It depends on where the tendon is. A tendon takes time, and the only thing that heals a tendon is time. It's a lot of time to put into the horse. They can come back pretty good, but it depends. Once they have that issue, it tends to come back again."
"That's horse racing. We understand that things like that happen. But it's not good. I don't like it. It's not pleasant for me. The competition will be one less horse I have to worry about, but in my heart, deep down, it's not something that I want to happen."
Kiaran McLaughlin, trainer of one-time Belmont contender Alpha: "It's very disappointing for everybody involved in our industry, especially all the people close to I'll Have Another. It's just really a sad day in our industry. Luckily the horse is OK and he'll live on to be a stallion and we'll hope that we have a Triple Crown winner next year."
"It's a still a very good race tomorrow and a great card. They put together a great card for Saturday. It's disappointing."

Working After Retirement
Now I'm living the dream and while I enjoy the freedom of not having to work, working is still a part of my life. Work still provides some positive things that I need and I don't know how to turn off the work ethic that took a lifetime to develop.
The big difference is that now, I'm not committed to 40 hours a week, every week. Most of the retired people I know are still working in some capacity. It's just something we do.
But the question most people ask me when they begin thinking about retirement is "Why work after you retire?". An old friend of mine had one of the best answers. He said "You can sit on the porch for only so long." He was 80 when he took his last part-time job.
The question I always ask is "What do you want to do after you retire?" and there may be several answers to that question. The decision will generally be based on how financially secure you are going to be after you retire. For some of us, working, even part-time, will be a reality. How many seniors do you see working in restaurants and department stores?
So, what is the perfect retirement job for you?
The Perfect Part-Time Job
The perfect retirement job might be the one you have now. Except on your own terms. I know several people who retired and agreed to come back to work on a part-time basis for their former employer. They get to use their vast store of knowledge, work shorter hours with people they already know and get paid pretty well for it. A win-win situation if you can get it. The place to start is to find out if your company already uses part-time employees or make an offer to your company to provide valuable services after you retire.
If you have technical experience, you might explore consulting as a part-time job. My consulting work started shortly after I retired in 2009 with a phone call from a company asking if I could help them out with a short term project doing exactly what I did before I retired. I've been working four to six months a year ever since.
There are several other possibilities for part-time work that you could consider;
Do you like to drive and travel? Recreational vehicle dealers in your area might have a need for someone to transport motor homes from one dealership to another. Check with your local RV dealers and offer your services as a driver. Some might require a class C driver's license, but the rewards of being paid to travel to different parts of the country in a luxury motor home might be worth the effort.
I know a retired guy who used to drive cars between auto dealerships in his city and another who delivered cars for Enterprise car rental. This type of work is a little more difficult to get into because auto dealers usually have someone on staff deliver cars. It doesn't hurt to ask and it might result in a unique part-time job.
Uber, the ride sharing service that was started on the internet a couple of years ago offers opportunities to generate some additional cash. I don't know what the pricing structure is, but it should be easy to sign up for and generate some extra cash. Another big benefit for a retiree, you get to work when you want to and on your terms.
When most people think about a part-time job, the first thing that comes to mind is a low paying structured job where you report to a place at a certain time, put in some hours and get paid. This works and has been the norm since forever. But, the real key to finding unusual ways to earn extra cash is to look around, watch the news and see what is happening in the world today.
If you see something unusual that interests you, check it out. It might just be the perfect part-time job.

CJ E&M, NCsoft and Nexon will compete in baseball game genre.
Nexon declares developing an online baseball game based on the real world first. Nexon also showed its aggressive move toward baseball genre by announcing the online baseball game development plan with 2K Sports in May, 2011 and starting to sponsor one of Korean professional baseball teams – Lotte Giants.
NCsoft made a contract with EA to publish 'MVP Baseball Online'. The game is developed by EA Korea Seoul Studio. Because NCsoft found 9th professional baseball team 'NC Dinosaur', the company is known to give wholehearted support to its baseball game.
CJ E&M also revealed 'MAGU The Real', a baseball game by Unreal Engine 3. The game emphasizes its reality by adopting the real data from Korean professional baseball league.
The interesting issue is that a rival, 'MLB 2K' and 'MVP Baseball', will compete with each other again in Korea. Since 2K Sports acquired exclusive MLB license in 2006, 'MVP Baseball' has not released the latest version since 2005. However the exclusive contract is expired in 2012, 'MVP Baseball' could get MLB license as well.
NC Dinosaur is a team based on Changwon regionally, while Lotte Giants, which is sponsored by Nexon, is based on Busan. Two teams are doomed to become a rival since Changwon and Busan is very close. We expect that it is not far away two biggest online game companies in Korea will fight each other at baseball stadiums.
We cannot under estimate CJ E&M's 'MAGU The Real' because CJ E&M is the current leader in Korean online baseball game market with 'MaguMagu'.
'MAGU The Real' is expected to be available in late 2012, while '2K Baseball Online' is scheduled for 2013. There is nothing to be known about 'MVP Baseball Online' releasing schedule. We expect it to be available 2013 as well.
Common things among 3 different online baseball games are that they all emphasize its reality as well as all of them will be likely to have KBO(Korean Baseball Organization) license.

Title: Perceptual and Conceptual Contributions to Fear Generalization
Abstract: The ability to generalize information across different experiences is paramount to adaptive behavior. This ability can prove maladaptive, however, if acquired knowledge is applied too broadly. For instance, following a highly aversive experience, individuals often overgeneralize fear behaviors towards stimuli or situations related to the initial experience. Overgeneralization of fear is symptomatic of anxiety disorders like posttraumatic stress disorder. Here, we present results from functional neuroimaging experiments in healthy adults designed to examine the neural systems that mediate fear generalization on the basis of both perceptual and conceptual similarity. First, we examined generalization of conditioned fear among stimuli that perceptually resembled a learned threat. During fear learning, a face expressing a moderate amount of fear (conditioned stimulus, CS+) signaled delivery of a mildly aversive electric shock (unconditioned stimulus, US), whereas the same face with a neutral expression was unreinforced. In a subsequent generalization test, subjects were presented with faces expressing more or less fear intensity than the CS+. Behaviorally, subjects retrospectively misidentified a learned threat as expressing more intense fear than its actual value and generated greater skin conductance responses (SCR) to generalized stimuli expressing higher fear intensity. Brain activity related to intensity-based generalization was observed in the striatum, insula, and thalamus. Generalized SCRs were correlated with activity in the amygdala, and connectivity between the amygdala and fusiform gyrus was correlated with trait anxiety levels. In a separate experiment, we examined fear generalization across exemplars of conceptually related objects. Objects from one category (e.g. animals) were paired with a shock US whereas those from another category (e.g. tools) was unreinforced. Category-based fear learning modulated activity in category-selective brain regions in the occipital-temporal cortex, as well areas associated with emotional learning (e.g. the amygdala and insula). We discovered a mechanistic account for the spread of conceptual fear based on hippocampal signaling of object typicality, which was reflected in greater functional coupling with the amygdala early in learning. Finally, we used multivariate statistical analyses to show experience-dependent alterations in the cortical representations of the object categories. In sum, these studies provide human neuroimaging evidence for perceptual and conceptual factors supporting fear generalization. These results add new insights to neurobiologically-based models of human anxiety disorders that go beyond basic conditioning processes.

51 Responses to "JillianMichaels"
Anonymous: jillian michaels is in SUCH good shape, i'm sure her program is awesome. i like the idea of going with her plan , because i feel like she knows what she's talking about. think i need to sign up asap.
Cara: LOVE THAT THERES A JILLIAN MICHAELS IPHONE APP!
JayP: jillian michaels trains guys too right?
Tricia Richardson: Yes of course guys can do the jillian michaels online program! it's super easy to sign up for, and they ask a lot of questions about your habits, and likes and dislikes with food and exercise, so you can get a customized progtram. soo much better than just folllowing an aerobics dvd IMHO.
skipblob: wow, i saw on the site there are 150 new fitness videos starring jillian micheals. she just never stops! anyone have a favorite by chance?
Val: It's cool to see Jillian Michaels program addresses hormone balance. I think thats super important for weight loss. Because, I don't think just going to the gym more often and eating fewer sweets is quite enough to get the kind of results I want.
nicky&dave: the review says almost 1.5 million pounds have been lost on jillian Michaels plan – pretty impressive. i don't need to lose that much but am thinking this is gonna give the needed tools to lose the fat.
pat23harras: Are her recipes any good? easy? it sounds like eating well is big part of jillian michaels program.
Debbie M.: The tools included with Jillian Michaels program do look helpful; how awesome would it be to have a shopping list created for me so i can get all i need without thinking about it.
Ashley: FREE sign up for Jillian Michaels ahhhhhh yeahhhh! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris_strong: yes, i agree the fact that the Jillian Michaels program also addresses hormone balance makes is stand out coMpared to other diets programs i have been looking at.
Michelle S.: Jillian Michaels looks so GOOD! Just how i wanna look.
Adam: I clicked on the sample meal plan on Jillian Michaels site and the meals actually look good, esp the salmon cake with salad.
julie B.: Losing weight is such a struggle. I don't know why its so easy to gain it and nearly impossible to lose it, but, that's the way it goes. Anyway, I've never had much luck keeping it off, I mean there's the Atkins diet which like, EVERYONE was on and yeah, some weight came off but it didnt' stay. Then the cabbage soup diet, ugh, and the master cleanse? even worse. can't stomach it, and don't care if its good for a quick little weight drop. ANYway, my point is I think its time to really make a lifestyle change, and I've been reading a lot of reviews. There are so many quick fix type of things, Jillian Michaels is more of a longterm approach. Like, I feel like the exercise plan might be fun, and with the recipes and all that, eating healthy might be easier, and then I could lose weight AND KEEP IT OFF.
Christina: YEah, the salmon cake looks good…I think the FUDGE BROWNIES look even better. Dessert recipes on Jillian Michaels program I did not expect this, but like it!
Allisonsilver: I hear ya Julie and i think the Jillian Michaels program is different because it's not only a diet, it's also a fitness guide and a heathy guide. from what i understand it helps you stay clean from toxins….in addition of helping with food choices….Things that you don't get with Atkins and all the other diets you mentioned.
ShoppingGirl: really? you can have brownies on the Jillian Michaels plan? Sweet! I really like that we can still have desert. I don't care what i eat on this diet, i need something sweet at the end. You know?
lee_brox_field: i am so with you: dieting is no fun. i'm looking at jillian michaels program, and thinking, maybe its not really a "diet" just, a good way to eat/exercise. and, if i can eat real food while losing some weight, then yeah, i think it might just work.
dana: i hate exercising and i think even online jillian michaels is probably too tough.
LionelSmith45: I travel a lot for work and so it's great to know that I could access Jillian Michaels program on my iphone or ipad when out of town.
Tamara: whats on Jillian Michaels playlist? Not a deal breaker but i love music and i am excited this comes with a playlist.
MaureenFranklin: Maybe, but TOUGH IS GOOD, in my opinion. I need a challenge, because just taking a daily walk around the neighborhood is not enough. i need someone like JILlian michaels to whip my butt into shape!
Denise: the Jillian Michaels seems to have it all covered, fitness planner, meal planner, eat out guide…that's pretty cool. I have tried so many diets before but i always end up gaining weight again because i eat out a lot and don't exercise much because i don't really know what to do. I think this might be a good one for someone like me.
Tina: I think it would be tough to have Jillian Michaels as a trainer but she does know her stuff.
Anonymous: Have never done an online program like Jillian Michaels but I like that there are message boards and all that. Think it would help to feel, part of a community and know that, I'm not in it alone. Wondering if, people utilize this feature..
green_Spirited: exercising isn;t only for weight loss. exercising will help you stay healthy and mentally sane. Just saying. As for the Jillian Michaels program, the girl is so ripped and did such a great jon on the biggest loser that i can;t wait to see what she can teach me. I am glad this is virtual and that she won't be yelling at me though
lisa_s: maybe there's hope yet for this pear-shaped body -am putting faith in jillian michael!
Kristen Wilson: She sure does, i mean to look like that, you gotta know what you doing. i really liked her on the biggest loser and was sad when she left, esp becasue the girl who replaced her was terrible. I hear she is back on the show but i haven't watched in so long, is she back?
ericmorrison: the more support the better, is what i say, that's why i;m looking at Jillian michaels program and not just billy blanks tae bo or something like that.
David: I saw the video for her half crow pushup, it's sick! I am gonna get some awesome obliques with that. No wonder the girl has a 6 pack. Jillian Michaels knows her stuff for sure.
pamela: LOL I don't like to be yelled at either! But I know I will never get rid of my fat thighs if I don't do something. Splurging on ice cream every time i see good sales doesn't help either…i am really most interested in a nutrition plan that simple to follow, and thinking Jillian Michaels has the solution.
Brenda: The testimonials with photos posted on Jillian Michaels site are pretty inspiring and i only looked at the 25-50lbs weight loss results. If i look anything like that with this plan, i'll be so so happy.
Laura G.: YEs she's back and tougher than ever! I mean, she really doesn;t mess around but, I think its just because Jillian Michaels cares about people LOSING weight and wants them to reach their goals. I find it inspirational.
Anonymous: i think she's too much of a nag. i just want a good fat burner and not all the work for jillian michaels program.
Victoria: I seriously hate being over weight, i was always thin but ever since i had my kids, it's just so hard to find time to go to the gym and to take care of myself. I snack on gold fish with them all day long, how sad? I am ready for a change and this Jillian Michaels program would be great becasue i can do it all at home. The review said that it was free for a limited time, how long?
Mick7p: Like everyone else says, it takes work to lose weight and keep it off. if your lazy, don't bother with jillian michaels, and just accept that your fat, and always will be.
Pete: well you shouldn't feed your kids sodium all day to begin with, maybe give them healthy snacks instead. Carrots are great or apples…Anyway, I also read that Jillian Michaels gives a grocery list on this program, it might help. I think if we don't buy the junk, we wont eat it.
cornellyKeri: I want to do the exercises from jillian michaels right from my ipad – no excuses!
Victoria: carrots are boring but i guess you're right. i think it's good that when you sign up for jillian michaels, she asks what type of foods you crave. salty foods are big for me too, gotta break the habit.
Margaret: I know someone already said that but to me, what makes Jillian Michaels online program different than other program is the fact that it helps with hormone balance.
Anonymous: Yeah it's pretty cool, when you sign up you can do the exercise videos on the site or follow a customized plan.
Kelly: I like nuts as a snack, raw nuts that is. Almonds and cashews they are high in protein too. I hope the meals are easy to prepare on the Jillian Michaels, i don't have a lot of time for cooking. I didn't like the sound of some of the meals posted on her site.
D.: Me too, everything is out of whack hormonally, and if that can be changed naturally through diet and exercise, i will be incredibly happy. jillian michaels rocks.
Pleaser: I am liking he sound of Jillian Michaels online plan. This could be the one for me.
Catherine: Yes, i am sure all the processws food i eat, has a lot to do with hormonal issues, it's got too.
flanneljam: Well, I would actually love to have Jillian Michaels yelling at me to push harder, I think it would be so lifechanging to be on that show but, i can't realy leave my life for tv right now. i think her online program is the next best thing and really, i think its great shes bringing all her knowledge to the rest of us.
joe: do you gotta workout every day on jillian michaels?
dundertonsmith13: looks like the fitness plan is based on circuit training, or at least some of them are, and that;s cool because it should keep it interesting. nothing worse than getting bored with a routine. but there also seems to be enough variety with jillian michaels too, so thats also good.
Bob_N: Sure, you should do SOMETHING every day, if you want to get anywhere. You can customize the Jillian Michaels program to suit you, from what I understand, its not a one size fits all type of deal.
J.D.: Thanks for the link. You just lay it all down right from the start: your weight, your height, age, and what your goal is, and the Jillian michaels program works with you to get you there. Think that, so long as you follow the plan: DO the exercises (that you tell them you like: if you hate to swim, there's no swimming involved, etc) and eat properly, you should reach your goal. Simple, though, not necessarily easy.

The recovery of the Jamaican Iguana (Cyclura collei) is considered one of the greatest success stories in conservation science. Presumed extinct since the 1940s, a tiny population was discovered in 1990, in the remote tropical dry forest of the Hellshire Hills in southern Jamaica. This discovery inspired the formation of the IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group, which has worked with local conservation partners over the past 20 years to increase the wild population of Jamaican Iguana. Since 1991, the number of nesting females and annual hatchlings recorded has increased over six-fold, with at least 200 individuals in the wild today.
Listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ the Jamaican Iguana population has been decimated by a combination of habitat loss and predation by invasive alien species. Agricultural and urban development, together with timber extraction for charcoal production, has degraded and fragmented the Jamaican Iguana's tropical dry forest habitat. Where habitat is still in prime condition, dogs, feral cats, and wild pigs prevent the iguana's persistence, impacting the whole forest ecosystem. Their tropical dry forest home of the Hellshire Hills is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, and among the most extensive in the Caribbean. Forest health depends on the iguana; it feeds on fruits and flowers and helps the germination of seeds and their dispersal, thereby benefiting many other species in the forest.
The Jamaican Iguana is genetically unique, an indication that it has long been isolated from its closest relatives: the Anegada Rock Iguana (Cyclura pinguis) and the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi). These iguanas face similar threats, although the Jamaican Iguana also has to contend with the Indian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) which was introduced to Jamaica in the late 1800s. The mongoose is no match for an adult iguana, but is a voracious predator of eggs and juveniles.
Today, Jamaicans can be proud of the fact that their largest native land vertebrate is making a comeback. Before the reintroduction of sub-adult iguanas and the implementation of a mongoose trapping program, juveniles and hatchlings were never seen. Still a highly conservation-dependent species, the Jamaican Iguana has benefited from the Jamaican government's commitment to the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as the resources provided by numerous international zoos and donors. However, the Jamaican Iguana recovery program is now at a major cross-roads.
The potential for large-scale development in the Portland Bight Protected Area, which includes the only existing wild population of Jamaican Iguana, would prevent a key objective in the long-term survival of the species - establishing a safe second population of iguanas on the Goat Islands. This reintroduction is outlined as a priority action in the Jamaican Iguana Species Recovery Plan, which has now been published by the IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group. This plan will be an invaluable tool in the next stages of conserving this enduring symbol of Jamaican biodiversity.
"Together with our Jamaican partners, we described action steps for nine objectives in the Species Recovery Plan that will ensure the recovery of the Jamaican Iguana."" says Tandora Grant, Red List Authority Coordinator and Programme Officer of the IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group. "We are looking forward to meeting again in Kingston, 20 years after our first conservation planning workshop for the iguana. Our specialist group has its roots in that first meeting."
The IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group will share the Jamaican Iguana Species Recovery Plan at their annual meeting, due to take place on 14-15 November, in Kingston, Jamaica.

MSL Rover NX CAD model
A few minutes into our interview last Thursday, I ask Tim Nichols, managing director of Global Aerospace, Defenses and Marine Industries at Siemens, if he was nervous about the Curiosity's fate on Sunday. "Of course I am," he says with a laugh, "We all know about missions to Mars — they're complex." None moreso than Curiosity's elaborate landing sequence, designed to get the SUV-sized robot down safely.
He needn't have worried. Late Sunday night, the rover successfully set down on the Martian landscape, overseen by a tense room of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) engineers and watched by so many people here on Earth that all of NASA's websites crashed. Like the rest of us, Nichols was glued to his screen. Unlike the rest of us, Nichols gets to say he had a hand in it. His company's software designed Curiosity.
Curiosity is much larger than her unexpectedly long-lived predecessors, Spirit and Opportunity. This meant that she couldn't just land bundled inside airbags like the smaller rovers.
Instead, the mission executed a complex series of maneuvers to eject the robot from its capsule and lower it to the ground, via a rocket-powered sky crane in a sequence of events that NASA called the Seven Minutes of Terror.
Curiosity was designed by the JPL at the California Institute of Technology. When it came time to coordinate the enormous team of designers and engineers that built Curiosity, the capsule, and the sky crane, JPL turned to Siemens. They needed to design the robot (relatively) cheaply and they needed to design it fast — the launch window for missions to Mars comes once every two years. If you miss the deadline, there's a long wait ahead.
MSL Capsule with Rover NX CAE thermal model
Luckily, Siemens had developed software suited to this sort of project. They call it Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
One of the costliest parts of creating a new physical product is building and testing prototypes. With PLM's robust suite of simulators and version tracking, you can avoid a lot of physical prototyping — saving both time and money, and speeding up the development process. In essence, PLM turns the physical engineering of a product into a process that looks more and more like designing code.
PLM runs on a laptop, connected to a central asset manager, called the Team Center. Engineers can check out parts of the project, work on their problems and assignments, and then check it back in to the main branch. This allows for a lot of concurrent design work. "In the past, engineering teams would be somewhat isolated by discipline," says Nichols, "The overall leadership recognized that they needed to bring all the groups together."
This is a far cry from past projects, which would be designed as a series of handoffs between teams. First the thermal profiles would be worked out, then the aerodynamics, on down the line. Propagating changes between teams could become a nightmare. PLM changed all of that, Nichols says, giving the team the ability to "compress the schedule and … do many more design iterations."
MSL NX CAD Exploded view of seperation stages
If this sounds a lot like software engineering, especially the open source variety, it's because it is. There's a version control system, the ability to check code in and out of the system, and a set of test suites that allow you check the performance of your part of the module in relation to the whole. By keeping the objects in software for as long as possible, you can treat them like software, with all of the speed and flexibility that this implies.
Nichols says their suite of tools has been used to design everything from golf clubs — "Golf clubs are pretty sophisticated, though they haven't helped my game." — to aircraft carriers. Looking ahead, he predicts an increasing incidence of distributed international teams of contributors working on a project.
"Global virtual collaboration and engineering is really the future," he says. "We want to see more of that."
But first, Curiosity had to make it to Mars. "We all have our fingers crossed," he said on Thursday. You can uncross them now, Mr Nichols.

Androids vs. iPhones. The debate goes on and on. When the iPhone first hit the market, there was really no competition. Apple was playing in a class of its own. Early Android phones were mediocre: slow UI response, lags here and there, and the overall "do-it-yourself" approach just didn't with consumers.
Hardware and Model Selection
With Apple, you are always limited to just a few models. Or, rather, you can choose from just one current model in several versions that differ very little. There are a few older models you can get from the used market, but that's about it. "You can have any color as long as it's black".
Android devices, on the other hand, come in many shapes, models and colors. Various manufacturers use entirely different hardware. Different screens, CPUs, memory. Vastly different quality and usability. Buying an Android phone will require you to do a research on what's available, whereas you can't go really wrong with any iPhone you can afford. Are you a techie or a gadget guy? Look for an Android phone you like best. The rest will be served by Apple.
The latest generation of iPhones has a wonderful Retina display. These super high pixel density displays will render your apps, icons and graphics so smooth it's hard to believe. Kudos to Apple: they made one of the best screens ever.
Android phones ship with all kinds of displays. Some of the better ones can match iPhones in resolution, but software integration is still lacking. Many applications still have low-resolution icons and graphics designed to be displayed on lower-resolution screens. When selecting an Android phone, you will have to watch carefully to get a model with a good screen. If you're not friends with numbers, icon resolutions, angles of view and other specs, just get an iPhone for the best screen ever.
Pre-Installed Software and UI
An iPhone is an iPhone. They're all the same. One operating system, one UI, the same set of pre-installed apps, same icons. You can customize it by moving stuff around and choosing a few icons on your own, but there's only so much you're allowed to do.
Androids come in many flavors. Different firmware and dozens of OS versions, builds and codenames. Different sets of icons for exactly the same app. Many different shells and launchers. Fully customizable: you can turn an Android phone into pretty much whatever you want (and it's not all about custom icons) – but you have to know what you're doing. With such a broad variety, some models are simply better as in easier to use, more stable and working more reliable than others. If building your very own tailored system is fun for you, by all means buy the Android. If you like your phone working straight out of the box, get an iPhone and begin using it right away.
Maintenance and Upgrades
iPhones don't have a slot to use an external memory card. You'll be stuck with the amount of memory you originally bought. If you outgrow your iPhone, you'll have to buy another iPhone, bringing more money to Apple.
Most but not all Android phones come with a microSD extension slot, allowing you to add more memory when you need it. With microSD cards getting cheaper every year, you will be better off in the long run if you buy an Android.
With iPhones, you can't even replace a battery. If your battery goes bad in some years (they all do; lithium batteries die in 3-4 years), you'll be sending your iPhone to Apple for a "major repair" (more money to Apple), or be shopping for a new iPhone (even more dough to Apple).
While some Android devices use similarly fixed batteries, most devices are easy: just lift the cover and throw a new battery in. A replacement battery will set you back a few dollars, allowing you to postpone the purchase of another phone some more years.
Android phones are cheaper to buy and cheaper to upgrade and maintain. They're more extensible and customizable. iPhones work great straight out of the box, and offer possibly the best usage experience ever. Which one to pick? The choice is yours.
Designing graphics on a budget has never been easy. Software developers use dozens, and often hundreds of small images (icons) throughout a single application. Custom ordering all of them makes little sense, unless you're making a Photoshop killer or building a similarly ambitious project.
Stock icons are a perfect alternative to custom graphics for the rest of us. Stock graphics are instantly available, come with clear licensing terms, and eliminate waiting and guessing from your routine. With ready-made icons, you get exactly what you see, pay a discounted price, and receive your images in a matter of minutes – not days, weeks or months.
Every icon set is unlike another. The many collections of ready-made icon sets cover various topics, serve different platforms, and come with different licensing terms attached. And of course, the icon sets come in a wide assortment of sizes, color depths and file formats. Some icon sets are drawn better than others, and some have extra features such as a separate semi-transparent layer (the Alpha-channel) allowing the images blend smoothly with difficult backgrounds. Finding and choosing the right icon set can be just as difficult as ordering custom graphics to a designer.
Aha-Soft All Icon Sets http://www.aha-soft.com/iconsets.htm offer the ultimate answer to the entire stock icon set dilemma. This monster icon pack includes more than two hundred collections, or over 25,000 unique icons covering pretty much everything from social networks to medicine, financial and transportation applications.

—Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
"Fascinating. . . an engaging story of how Lincoln used his great intellect and love of the English language to pull the country through its darkest hour. Most books about Lincoln tell the reader why he was a great man; Lincoln's Sword tells how he made himself a great man."
—Pittsburg Tribune-Review

Weinschenk's revenge: Car wash files suit against City
More than nine months after being forced to close down in the water conservation campaign last summer, one car wash owner has pulled out the big guns.
On June 25, Henry Weinschenk, owner of Express Car Wash, backed by international civil rights organization The Rutherford Institute, filed suit in federal court against the City of Charlottesville, claiming that his Constitutional rights had been violated.
This is the second big local battle on behalf of a business this year for the Albemarle-based Institute, which shot to prominence in 1998 when it represented Paula Jones in her sexual harassment suit against then-President Bill Clinton.
In January, the Institute challenged the county's sign ordinance when it was used to stop an Arby's restaurant flag from flying on Route 29. The county agreed to drop the prosecution and review its ordinance.
In the current case, Weinschenk– despite implementing a "dry-wash" system that uses only purchased bottled water– estimates he lost $60,000 during the six-week water ban the city ordered last September.
Back then, Weinschenk said the possibility of a lawsuit against the city was slim. "It would bankrupt me," he insisted. Support from the Rutherford Institute was a welcome event for the beleaguered businessman who, ironically, has seen his livelihood suffer again this spring– this time from the almost-constant rainfall.
Whitehead says taking the case, which names as defendants Charlottesville City Council, City Manager Gary O'Connell, Public Utilities Manager J.G. Palmborg, and Director of Public Works Judith Mueller, wasn't a difficult decision.
"It's not a real complicated lawsuit," Whitehead says. "The facts are simple, and the Constitutional issues are rather straightforward. Government cannot take property without just compensation."
City Attorney Craig Brown declined comment, saying that the city had not had time to review the case thoroughly.
The real question in the car wash case, Whitehead says, is, "Can the government willy-nilly cause someone to go broke?"
Not under the tenets of the U.S. and Virginia Constitutions, Whitehead says. The basis for the suit is found in two Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Fifth says property cannot be taken without due process, while the 14th says no entity can be singled out for persecution.
Both Amendments were violated, the suit alleges, when the city forced car washes alone to close down. Both Whitehead and Weinschenk say car washes use less than one percent of the city's water supply– far less than is used by restaurants, hotels, and motels.
Even so, if the city had offered "just compensation," Whitehead claims, the suit would be without basis. That, however, was not the case.
At this point, Weinschenk is the sole plaintiff, but Whitehead says his organization is open to adding others.
The suit seeks compensatory damages of $60,000– the amount Weinschenk estimates he lost– plus attorneys' fees. Punitive damages, Whitehead says, could be awarded by the judge.
But for Weinschenk, the suit is about much more than money; it's about restoring his faith in America and making sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.
"Had you asked me two years ago, 'Could they do this, would they do this?'" Weinschenk says, "I would not have believed it."
