Just beautiful :)
I need to get some cool action shots too =[
I'm planning a ride from Kodiak, Alaska to Key West, Florida this summer. I'd like to connect with your summer ride calendar to see if I can ride through and go along for one of your events.
I thought I'd ride through Canada at first. I think I might like to take the ferry system down through Washington instead.
Here is my blog: http://johnsamericabiketour.blogspot.com
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Editorial Board: Is the fight against global warming hopeless?
IS THE FIGHT against global warming hopeless? It can seem so. The long-term threat to the climate comes from carbon dioxide, which lingers in the atmosphere for hundreds of years , locking in higher temperatures for generations. After decades of effort, only about one-tenth of America's energy mix comes from renewable sources that don't produce carbon ... Full Story »Posted by Manfred Ostrowski - via NewsRack (Energy)

You're right - he did. Don't know if that comes under an anti-crime though. The Discworld Companion has this to say on the subject:Jason wrote:Wasn't it also in Soul Music. Didn't Glod decorate all the hotel rooms they visited. Sort of opposite of The Who?
Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs wrote:As you might expect on the Disc, even crime has its opposite. Merely giving someone something is not the opposite of robbery. To be an anti-crime, it has to be done in such a way as to cause outrage and/or humiliation to the victim. So there is breaking-and-decorating, proffering-with-embarrassment (as in most retirement presentations) and whitemailing (as in, for example, threatening to reveal to his enemies a mobster's secret donations to charity). Anti-crimes never really caught on.

Demography of Panama
Most of the population is of mestizo origins, descendants of Indian, African and Spanish heritages, although there is great ethnic diversity.
The population density is evident along the coastal region of the Gulf of Panama, particularly on the Azuero Peninsula, and in the metropolitan areas of Panama City and Colón. A high degree of urban development in recent years has attracted a growing urban population, currently representing 59% of the total country population. The fertility rate is one of the lowest in Central America, with an average of 2.6 children per woman.

Panama has a tropical climate. Temperatures are relatively high and vary little throughout the year. The temperatures are usually lower on the Pacific than on the Caribbean coast.
Panama City: Temperatures range from 24° C (75.2° F) to 35° C (95° F).
Highlands: Temperatures are usually lower and more constant, hovering around 23° C (73.4° F).
Beaches: Temperatures are hot, averaging 31° C (87.8° F).
The Republic of Panama is a large isthmus strip with a total area of 75,517 km², and 2,210 km² of surface waters, reaching 78,200 km² of total territory. The country is located in Central America at 7° 11' longitude and 9° 37' north latitude.
Main cities and geographical features of Panama. Panama is bounded on the north by the Caribbean Sea and to the south by the Pacific Ocean. Panama shares its eastern border with the Republic of Colombia, and is bordered on the west by the Republic of Costa Rica. Borders: 555 km in total, of which 225 km are with Colombia and 330 km with Costa Rica. Costs: 2,490 km It is politically divided into 9 provinces and 5 indigenous regions.
Panama's two coastlines are referred to as the Caribbean coast and the Pacific coast, and less frequently described as the North and South coasts, respectively. To the east is Colombia and Costa Rica is to the west. Due to the location and contours of the country, the directions shown on he compass can be surprising. For example, a trip through the Panama Canal from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean implies travel not east, but to the northwest, and in Panama City the sunset is to the east over the Pacific Ocean.
Pacific coastal waters are extraordinarily low. A depth of 180 meters is reached only once outside the perimeters of either the Gulf Darien or the Gulf of Chiriquí, and wide mud flats extend up to 70 kilometers seaward from the coast. As a result, the tidal range is extreme. There is a variation of about 70 centimeters between high and low tide, and on the Caribbean coast the contrasts are sharp with more than 7 m on the Pacific coast. Approximately 130 miles above the river Tuira the amplitude still exceeds 5 m.
Most of the Panamanian territory consists of lowlands (70%). The majority of Panama's population lives in these warm low-lying lands. This category includes the southern lowlands and plains, the hills and plains of the Central Isthmus, the eastern depressions and the northern plains and lowlands. The remaining 30% of Panama territory is highlands. These lands are composed of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. To this group belong Barú Volcano, the Central mountain range, the Northern Eastern Arch, the Southern Eastern Arch, Southern Massif and Volcanic Chain.

Panama owns a cultural multiplicity that makes it unique in the region, one of the biggest contributors to this cultural richness is the constant presence of visitors from all parts of the world. The origin of this singular cultural mix is without a doubt the crossroads characteristic of the country. In addition, the intense connection of Panama with the sea makes it very similar to an island of the Caribbean.
Being a point of contact and a crossing site, this small strip of land is considered a true crucible of races. With almost 3 and a half million inhabitants, its population is compounded 67% of mestizos (amerindian with targets) and mulatos (white with black), 14% blacks, 10% whites, amerindian 6% (indigenous) and a 3% of people are from varied ethnic origins. This mixture is particularly rich, because although it comes from cultural origins and very diverse traditions, the mixture has been stimulated by the atmosphere of tolerance and harmony that always has reigned in the territory.
Although the free religious creed is respected, the population of the country mainly professes catholicism, this religion is deeply bound to the traditions and cultural expressions. In the interior of the country, for example, the greatest celebrations are related to diverse saints. These saints are even denominated as the owners of different towns. One of the greatest celebrations relating to cultural and catholic beliefs is the Carnival of Panama. The Carnival is a massive celebration of four days that precedes to the Cuaresma.
La Pollera is the name used in Latin America and Spain for a type of skirt and dress that is characterized by its elaborate decorations. The skirts are made of different materials like cotton or wool, and are often colorfully decorated using various techniques, commonly embroidery and lace with floral designs.
It is believed that the pollera skirt was derived from a Spanish dress in the 16th or 17th century. It was passed down to women in the middle and lower classes as a simpler and easier version in which to do their daily chores or go to their regional celebrations. In many Latin American countries it is currently used as a folk costume. Whereas in some countries it refers to just the skirt portion, in Panama the entire dress is called pollera.
Panama's National Symbols
The Symbols of the Nation, also known as 'national symbols' are the elements representative of the Republic of Panama. They are recognized not only domestically, but also abroad as synonyms to both Panama and the Panamanian nationality.
The origin of the term comes from Article 6 of the 1941 Panama National Constitution, "The symbols of the Nation are: the anthem, flag and coat of arms." In addition to this declaration, the same Article 6 in a subsequent Panama National Constitution in 1946 amended that: "The symbols of the Nation are: the anthem, flag and coat of arms adopted prior to the year 1941." This suggests that the second version of the flag of Panama, the coat of arms and the national anthem were already officially recognized before that year and ratified in 1941. The Harpy Eagle was declared the National Bird of the Republic of Panama under Law 18 on April 10, 2002.
Panama's economy is one of the most stable in America. The main economic activities are financial, tourism and logistics, which represent 75% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). From 2003 to 2009 the GDP doubled, propelled by high foreign and domestic investment, coupled with the tourism and logistics industries. According to the Bank, the IMF and the UN, the country has the highest per capita income in Central America, which is about $13,090; it is also the largest exporter and importer at the regional level, according to ECLAC. The GDP has enjoyed a sustained growth for more than twenty years in a row (1989). The country is classified in the category of investment grade by these rcredit rating companies: Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings.Taxes in Panama
According to Act 8 of March 15, 2010, which amended the Fiscal Code, the air, sea and land transportation companies, as well as passengers, shall pay ITBMS tax. In Panama, 7% of ITBMS is charged on public entertainment, events, seminars, conferences, lectures and artistic, professional and sport presentations in general that are not free and whose annual incomes are over $36,000. The importation and sale of alcoholic beverages, as well as hotel or lodging services, jewelry and weapons will pay 10 percent of ITBMS. Tobacco derivatives (such as cigarettes, cigars, and snuff) will pay 15% of ITBMS. Cable TV, microwave, satellite and mobile phones will pay 5% of ITMBS.
Electricity: 110 volts; 60 cycles.
Government and Politics
The Republic of Panama is an independent and sovereign State, located in its own territory, from which individual and social rights are observed and respected, and where the will of the majority is represented by the free right to vote.
The public power emanates from the people and is exercised by three bodies: legislative, executive, and judicial. In their separation they are harmonized, united in cooperation and limited by the classic system of checks and balances.
There are three independent organizations whose responsibilities are clearly defined in the Political Constitution:
• The Comptroller General of the Republic has the obligation to oversee public funds.
• The Electoral Tribunal has to guarantee freedom, honesty and effectiveness of the popular vote.
• The Public Ministry oversees the interests of the State and its municipalities.
Panama's political institutions
The 1972 Political Constitution of Panama, as amended by the Reformatory Acts of 1978 and the Constitutional Act of 1983, presents a unitary, republican, democratic and representative government.
Executive Body
Formed by the president of the Republic and ministers of state. The President shall be elected by direct universal suffrage for a period of five years, and in the same manner the vice president will be elected (Title VI, Chapter 1, Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama).
Judiciary Body
Responsible for administering constant, free and rapid justice. The judicial branch consists of the Supreme Justice Court, the Courts and Judges established by law under the Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama (Title VII, Chapter 1).
Legislative Body
It consists of an organization called the National Assembly of Panama (formerly called Legislative Assembly) and its main activity is issuing laws. The National Assembly shall be formed by Representatives (formerly called legislators) chosen through party candidacy and direct popular vote to serve for a period of 5 years (Title V, Chapter 1, Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama.)
Religion in Panama
Religion in Panama is covered by the Constitution of Panama, which establishes the freedom of worship. Although with some reservations, the government generally respects this right.
The Panamanian government does not collect statistics on religious affiliation of citizens, but various sources estimate that 75 to 85 percent of the population identifies as Roman Catholic and between 15 to 25 percent identify as Evangelical Christian. The Baha'i community in Panama includes 2% of the population, with approximately 60,000 members, including about 10% of the population Ngöbe. One of the seven Bahá'í Houses of Worship in the world is in Panama. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, have about 40,000 members in Panama.
Among the religious groups with lower numbers of followers, we have the Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Anglicanism Episcopalians with between 7,000 and 10,000 members, Islam communities with approximately 10,000 members each, Hindu, Buddhists, and other Christians. The indigenous religions include Ibeorgun of the people Mamatata of the Ngöbe. We can also find isolated pockets of the community Rastafari.
Panama City has always been an accessible shopping paradise where you can choose the price of the product you want. What's more, imagine the most sophisticated and exclusive article from the most distant country, and you will find it here.
Panama's currency is called the Balboa (PAB). One Balboa is the equivalent of 100 cents. There are no paper bills in Panama; all local currency is in coins, in denominations of PAB1 and 10, and in 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents. American dollars were first accepted as currency in 1904 and are still used today, along with the local currency of Balboas.
The shopping hours vary, but most stores, warehouses and shopping malls are open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Some even stay open until 10:00 pm from Monday to Sunday.
Credit cards are an accepted form of payment in all cases, including Visa, American Express, Master Card and Dinner Club. The U.S. dollar, in free circulation and joint legal tender with the national currency, is also always accepted.
However, the city's clubs and bars are governed by the famed "Carrot Law," which stipulates that all businesses that sell liquor must close their doors by 2:00 am.
The waiters at the best restaurants in Panama City and in resort cities will expect to receive a 10% tip. Tipping is not required in small cafes and more casual places, though it is always appreciated. The bell hoppers are tipped a minimum of 50 cents per suitcase.

BRIÓN is a small municipality in A Coruña province, with an area of 74.97 km2. It is located to the west of Santiago de Compostela, on the way to the sea, and is bathed by the River Sar in the southwest and by the River Tambre in the north. Its territory is made up of 9 parishes and it has a population of 7,433 inhabitants (2013 Census).
It is 13 km from the capital of Galicia, with which it is linked by the C-543 road (daily bus service by Monbús and Ferrín) and the AG-56 dual carriageway (Santiago-Brión).
It enjoys a noticeably mild microclimate. Agriculture, followed by cattle breeding, are the local economy's main activities. Today, it provides products for the city market, such as vegetables, dairy products and flowers.
Carballeira de Santa Minia
A beautiful setting where we find, in the shade of a hundred-year-old carballeira (oak grove), the chapel of Santa Minia, a bandstand, the fountains of Hermes or Mercury and Adam and Eve, and the modern Casa de Cultura and library, as an expression of architectural coexistence between tradition and modernity. This setting received the Europa Award for Conservation.
Torres de Altamira
The Altamira Towers are the most representative monument of Brión's historic past, overlooking beautiful scenery. They are the remains of a castle that was built on a Celtic "castro" (settlement), around about the 9th century, and has been declared a Monument of Cultural Interest.
Church of Bastavales
The church of Bastavales –immortalised by Rosalía de Castro in one of the most popular poems of Galician literature- forms part of a monumental complex along with the chapel of El Carmen, stone crosses and fountains. This setting features one of the best panoramic views of Val da Amaía.
Castro Lupario
According to Jacobean tradition, Castro Lupario was where Queen Lupa lived when the Apostle James' disciples brought his body to be buried in Galicia. Today we can see the remains of the walls. Declared a Monument of Cultural Interest.
Romería de Santa Minia
Romería de Santa Minia is Brión's most important festival due to its popularity and number of visitors. Every September 26 and 27, thousands of pilgrims come to the chapel housing the martyr saint from different parts of Galicia, in order to participate in an event combining religious fervour and secular elements.

This is a smart-looking and well-made piece of kit. I went up a size to make sure it would fit my waist, and so was expecting it to be a little big in the chest, but it fits well. Sleeve and body length are good. It's fleecy, but it's a light fleece so it's good for spring mornings under a gilet. Recommended

I am trying to use fundamental factors such as PE, BV, & CFO in a multivariate linear regression with the response variable being the rolling 1 month returns. But this approach seems flawed as the autocorrelation of the residuals is to high and the Durbin Watson test points also to such flaws. What is the best what to use long time horizon rolling returns in a linear regression?
The rolling n month return contains autocorrelation by its very nature. This is most obvious in a two-period case where $R_{t}\equiv0.5r_{t}+0.5r_{t-1}$. This implies that $R_{t-1}\equiv0.5r_{t-1}+0.5r_{t-2}$ so that when you calculate the correlation between $R_{t}$ and $R_{t-1}$ it should be close to $0.5$ as a result of both containing a $R_{t-1}$ component.
Hence, it might be better off avoiding using the rolling return in the calculation. If you are using it because you are seeing better results, it is likely an artifact of the smoothing used to construct the rolling series. If you insist on using it, one option is to include the lag of the rolling return in the regression.
It simply points to the fact that your model as stands does not have much explanatory power of monthly returns. One reason could be of a observation period mismatch. I am not a fundamental type of guy, but I imagine that the monthly returns are measured over too short a period (1 month) while most fundamental factors are updated on a quarterly basis (sometimes semi-annually or annually depending on local market regulations). Thus, changes or absolute levels in cash flows on a quarterly basis may not be able to explain changes in monthly returns. Can you run the same model again but use quarterly returns (or match the periodicity of the independent variables periodicity) and report back?
Why not fit an ARMA model to the rolling returns first, and then model the residuals in your regression equation? That way you should be removing most of the effects of auto-correlation.
Try fitting a model with ARMA errors?
However, if by "rolling returns" you imply a moving average of returns or some QoQ or YoY return series, which has much persistence, I am not so sure what the right way to proceed really is (with the exception that you can apply some corrections suggested in econometrics literature).

I always wanted to write, 'In the USA Today, today' in the Life section snapshots sidebar there is an interesting stat from a December 2012 Ponemon Institute study of 80 health care organizations showing that the data lost or stolen most often are our medical records at 48% and billing/insurance records at 48% followed by payment details at 24%. Multiple responses were allowed which is why the percentages break 100. What is more alarming is that over the last two years, 94% of health care organizations have been breached at least once and 45% have had 5 or more incidents! What is sad is that over half (54%) have little or no confidence that they can detect patient data loss.
I know many of us often delay or avoid the doctors for fear that we might get diagnosed with something terrible but maybe now we'll avoid with the notion, 'eh, I'm healthy and I don't want to be afflicted with identity theft disease.' Ask your doctor about ITD – common side effects include increased heart rate, depression, headaches, loss of appetite and in some patients, bank account drainage. Why risk it? Heck, the last time my wife went to her now previous doctor and asker her about how she complies with HIPAA, the doctor didn't even know what that was! How can that be? How can a practicing physician be unaware of HIPAA? That's like a bank unaware of PCI or the numerous other financial regulatory requirements. But is it 'unaware' or 'just don't care.'
The primary causes of health care data breach include lost or stolen devices along with employee or 3rd party mistakes and they only learned of the breach because of an audit. Data gets moved around amongst various parties for multiple reasons it is often hard to determine who and where leaked it.
Suggestions include appointing senior security roles reporting to the board, securing mobile devices, using encryption, develop breach plans that are ready and tested, education and as more health care organizations turn to the cloud, understand and control that risk – whatever it may be.
Oh, and have a seat, we'll be with you in a moment.

Heart Scarab of Djedmutes'Ankh
The Egyptians worked with gold and semiprecious stones from earliest times.

Be patient and pay Patrick
The contract restructuring of Larry Fitzgerald gives the Arizona Cardinals freedom in so many ways. The doors it opens come in free agency, avoiding free agency and, most importantly, making it easier to focus on the draft.
Years ago, the Cardinals and Fitzgerald faced a similar predicament. Blame either side or both, but the deal wasn't completed until after the start of free agency, hand-cuffing Arizona in the free agent market. Both Fitzgerald and the Cardinals are showing a deep commitment to winning in 2014 by getting this deal done.
What this deal does goes so far beyond Larry Fitzgerald. It's the flexibility for free agency now and the ability to reward later. The Cardinals proved last year that they won't use free agency as the "be all/end all" way to build a team, as to say, they will use it correctly. There are some intriguing choices that the new money could open up: Jeremy Maclin in the slot, Dennis Pitta or Michael Hoomanawanui in two TE sets, Brandon Albert at LT, Parys Haralson or Brandon Spikes at MLB would all fit depending on the money.
The Fitz contract also allows Arizona to keep players from hitting free agency. If Karlos Dansby is not looking to break the bank, he becomes the immediate target for GM Steve Keim. Dansby is not a free agent until March, so the Cardinals have time to get a deal done that is good for both sides. Short term is good for the Cards, but heavy signing bonus would be fair reward Dansby for 2013.
By getting Fitzgerald signed, Keim can hit free agency, then go into the draft with fewer needs. Keim will never use the draft to focus only on position needs. He uses the draft to bring in the most talented people he can find. Although that's the correct route, he must get a left tackle out of this offseason. Using free agency ensures that he can draft an offensive lineman based on talent and not have to reach for a need.
Once the Cardinals are able to get through free agency and the draft, this contract does something else that Fitz brought up himself. In a few months, the Cardinals will be able to focus on extending the contract of Patrick Peterson. Peterson is locked up for two more years. There's nothing wrong with waiting, but the Cardinals could send a message to the team by re-working his deal. Peterson exemplifies what the Cardinals want to show the world. He's the reason the Cardinals felt safe in drafting Tyrann Mathieu. It's Peterson that shows the defensive work ethic matched by Fitz on the offense. Peterson is the face of the defense.
With a new contract for Peterson, the Cardinals have a star locked up for the future. It gives the franchise the cost-certainty it needs for 2015 and beyond, however, it adds a year (meaning this one, 2014) to spread out the cap hit. Since the Cardinals haven't found their long-term answer at quarterback, they must keep as much money free as they can. If they wait to sign Peterson to an extension, it could easily bump into the window of the next QB search. I'm not rushing the Cardinals just to give a young player the money. I want the Peterson deal done to avoid missing out on 2015 or 2016 free agents.
Don't look for a Peterson deal to be done tomorrow. Get through the draft and free agency. Take a vacation and evaluate who's on the street at the beginning of training camp. Once the number is established that's remaining under the cap, use it on Patrick. If the Cardinals don't, the price on Patrick is only going to go up.

Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura
- Home
- Health Information
- Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura
(Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura; ITP)
Acute ITP
- Lasts less than six months.
- Usually occurs in children.
- Most common type of ITP.
Chronic ITP
- Lasts longer than six months.
- Usually occurs in adults.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Children with a recent viral infection or live virus vaccination
- Women—2-3 times more likely to get ITP than men
- Women younger than 40
- Easy bruising
- Blood in urine or stools
- Bleeding for longer than normal following an injury
- Unexplained nosebleeds
- Bleeding from the gums
- In adult women, heavier-than-normal menstrual periods
- Red dots—may occur in groups and resemble a rash
- Bleeding within the intestinal tract or brain—rare
- Analyze levels of different blood cells, including platelets
- Test your blood's clotting ability
- Look for infections or other medical issues associated with ITP
- Eliminate other medical conditions
- Steroids to lower the activity of the immune system. This will decrease the destruction of platelets.
- Gamma globulin infusions to slow down platelet destruction. An infusion means that it is given by IV or through a shot. It usually works more quickly than steroids.
- Eltrombopag
- Romiplostim
Platelet Transfusion
Activity Changes
- Take precautions in your child's environment. Consider padding an infant's crib or play area.
- Make sure that older children wear helmets and protective gear when playing sports. This will help to reduce bruising injuries.
- Consider temporarily stopping contact sports such as football and rough game playing when platelet counts are low.
- Avoid medications that contain aspirin or ibuprofen. These medicines can reduce platelet activity.

The only FDA approved product for the mitigation of fine wrinkles and mottled hyperpigmentation is RENOVA which is actually a drug called tretinoin in a cream form with the active at a 0.05% level.
Renova and a bottle of broad spectrum (meaning blocks both UVA and UVB rays) spf 30 sunscreen is a perfect combination for a simple anti aging skin regimine.
there are a thousand Vit C products in the market, are you talking Vit C ester or Vit C in the freee acid form? there are always issues of efficacy because Vit C must be protected from heat and light.
Your AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) are a nice adjunct to keep the stratum corneum thin to aid in the penetration of the other products you are putting on your face in addition they will unbind the dead skin cells and make your face appear shinier and brighter. Dead skin cells are curved and dont refract light as well as living cells which are flatter.
Stay away from really anything else as there is no clinical data on any other products which makes any sense

There are lots of materials to use when making pyramid puzzles. Crystal is an excellent choice. The 3D Crystal Pyramid puzzle consists of 15 pieces and a base to construct it on. There are 4 different shaped and sized pieces. Each piece is hollow. When completed, and you shouldn't have too much trouble; it makes an interesting piece to display. It is very durable, and the pieces are not likely to break. The only thing that could happen is if pieces get lost. Once again, a puzzle that looks inviting rather than intimidating and can be enjoyed by, young and not so young, alike. As to difficulty; I would give it 2 out of 10. The package gives this for I.Q. Rating. 10 minutes……Genius 30 minutes……Brilliant 60 minuted……Above Average

Jet Set: Traveling with Candles
Summer always has me dreaming up my next escape and I so look forward to our next family vacation. In the meantime, I was reading the beautiful new July issue of InStyle Magazine with cover girl Kate Hudson, and found myself pulling out a few helpful travel tips from the Jet Set pages. I wanted to share one trick in particular I came across, courtesy of Jeralyn Gerba (co-founder and editorial director of Fathom: the fabulous travel website), which I have actually used for many years: When traveling, pack a few of your favorite mini candle votives. Not only will they keep your luggage smelling great, you can enjoy them throughout your travels and make any hotel feel like home without taking up a ton of valuable space! Brilliant, right?
My favorite scents for summer trips are Cashmere and Lavendar, both (and more!) available as mini votives for $16, here.
And as for that stunning image… in honor of the World Cup being played in beautiful Brazil, I couldn't resist sharing this beautiful photograph by Charles Allmon (National Geographic) of a 1950's scene along Arpoador Beach in Rio de Janiero.

Two good, viable options also.
Of course, it's not really a Starfleet rule; rather a United Federation of Planets rule. Starfleet is an Academy for training officers to pilot Federation ships or other work about Federation vessels. It's the Federation that makes such laws and regulations (such as the Prime Directive). This was a mistake I noticed was repeated in J. J. Abram's Star Trek movie. Federation and Starfleet were used interchangeably as though they were one and the same. But they really aren't.
But I've seen them enter & exit solar systems using warp.
But, supposedly, you're not supposed to use warp while orbiting a planet, something to do with a gravity well and warp not interacting together would destroy the planet or something along those lines.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 20:36
No, Starfleet Academy is where students train in order to enter Starfleet.
Starfleet itself is the name of their combined military and exploration fleet.
The UFP (United Federation of Planets) is a coalition of many worlds that work together. Some members of those worlds choose to enlist in Starfleet, and some of them choose to stay with their own local military and/or exploration fleets.
The wording used in the newest Star Trek film is correct in the usage cases present. Watch it again more closely using the context I've provided above. You will find that every example is correct.
BTW, there is a bit of fuzz surrounding this as it is handled somewhat inconsistently at times. I've viewed it along the lines of there are certain systems in which it is safe to enter/exit warp speed, and certain systems where it is not safe. This is mostly due to the inconsistencies shown...but heck they've even shown warp in atmo before in Star Trek IV on Earth of all places...

Teen Choice Shoe Porn: Cameron Diaz
Do we have to talk about the wearer? I'd rather just talk about her shoes. Cameron Diaz won something last night at Teen Choice. She looked all one colour. But they did a good job on her makeup.

Rachel Shoe Porn
Her feet. Last night at The Brothers Bloom screening in New York. Do you love the shoes? I think I might love the shoes too much. Will go looking for them today.

Ovulation Day Shoes
Rachel Bilson > Mischa Barton. Though to be fair, Rachel Bilson's schedule hasn't exactly been back to back either. But at least she was in a recent hit movie, and isn't so stupid to turn down guest starring stints on TV shows. And since the end of The OC she's looked better and better. Full Story

Le Karl & Kate: The Hunger Twins
Kate Bosworth's eye makeup was exquisite. And her dress too. My favourite shoes of the night and the complete opposite of what Emmy Rossum tries to recycle over and over and over again.

The Generic Simpson
Not that Ashlee Simpson isn't pretty. Because she is. Really pretty. But also pretty ordinary. Particularly because of the ordinary nose. Everyone orders this nose.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
No language is perfect, but I thought I'd chime in with some points in
Java's favor.
Even at big companies, Java often isn't done in that "enterprise" way.
I don't like what I've seen of EJBs, and fortunately I've never had to
use them (even at IBM).
As far as cheap hosting, Google App Engine is one place to look. For
low traffic sites (e.g. pre-launch) it's free. And you can use your
domain name or theirs. And Amazon AWS offers the 1st year free (their
Free Tier: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/).
Servlet containers can take a while to start up and deploy your app,
use some memory, etc. but they're getting ready to handle a lot of
concurrent traffic. And there are other web frameworks / APIs built on
the Servlet API that feel more modern, like Play
Scala makes Java much less verbose while compiling to Java class files
/ byte code. Many variable types and return types will be inferred by
the compiler providing compile-time type checking without the typing.
What might be
Clock clock = new Clock();
System.out.println("Some text");
val clock = new Clock()
println("Some text")
and you can fit a main class (object in Scala declares a singleton) into 1 line:
object App { def main(args: Array[String]) = { println("Some text") } }
And there are 10 or more other features added by Scala that feel like
major wins in removing boilerplate code, like lightweight closures:
val closure : Int => Int = { _ + 1 }
List(1, 2, 3).map { _ + 1 }

> also need to have the OpenJDK installed. If not do a "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk".
> You can also use OpenJDK 7 if you like.
> Once you have downloaded OpenJDK, run it similar to what follows:
> $ sh ./netbeans-7.1-ml.linux.sh
> Now that you have it installed, create a new web project.
> File->New Project
> Select a web project:
> Java Web Web Application
> Choose the defaults. Enter the name as SimpleWebApp
> Once the project has been created, right click the project and select "Run".
> Voila, you have a running Java Web Application. Netbeans has some great tools at facilitating the
> process. Netbeans should launch your web browser with the url referencing your application. It launched
> it using the included GlassFish application server.
> I worked through the book titled:
> Java EE 6 Development with NetBeans 7
> by David R. Heffelfinger
> It walks you through many of the features of creating Java EE Applications.
