Rebels cast reveals spark discussion of diversity, representation
While we've focused on the female character introductions and (lack of) toys so far, Mia Moretti at Eleven-ThirtyEight takes on the issue of character races and representation – and the fandom reactions to it.
The importance of diversity is something that Bria and Nanci at Tosche Station wrote up not so long ago, while Brian took on some of the common arguments against it. While we're a while from seeing if Rebels can deliver diversity beyond the main cast, it's interesting to note that these discussions weren't happening as openly even as far back as The Clone Wars debut.
As for the issue of female action figures, Amy Ratcliffe has some numbers.
Rebels' Vanessa Marshall talks Hera, the show and more
Newsarama's Lucas Siegel has the first interview with one of the Rebels crew: Vetern voice actress Vanessa Marshall, who plays the ship's pilot, Hera. I think it's safe to say she's into it:
…When I got the call for Star Wars Rebels, that I booked Hera, I hyperventilated, fell to the ground, I think I was sobbing, and my agent then asked if she should call an ambulance. (laughs) Truly, of all the roles I've ever played, this is by far the most epic. I look forward to the long-term implications of interacting in the Star Wars universe. It's really, really thrilling.
She also has a few things to say on our latest issue:
You know, it's interesting – I would say from a marketing standpoint, I know how it serves them to target an audience, whether it's male or female. I do know there are a ton more female sci-fi fans – there always have been, but perhaps now they have a greater visibility, so I predict that some of that stuff will change.
I will say that in a greater sense, I'm not so sure that there's a stigma for the people who are buying those toys. In a real way, I think that George Lucas kind of destroyed the stigmas as far as gender is concerned, and raised the bar for future filmmakers. The fact there are female Jedi straightway levels the playing field. There are so many alien races that gender is sort of the least of the issues (laughs).
You look at Princess Leia, and Mon Mothma, Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress – even to go to the games and EU [Expanded Universe – the Star Wars stories that are told in novels, comics, and video games], Jan Ors or even Mara Jade – the women in the Star Wars Universe just kick butt, in a way that transcends gender. And each in their own way.
I'll say, even the female characters in Rebels each have their unique strengths – it's another reason I'm so excited to be a part of this show. Just to get into Hera a bit again, she's strong-willed, but she's also nurturing. She really knows how to bring out the best in her team. She leads with humility. Her agility and physical skills are admirable; she can pull just the right punch at just the right moment and get the job done, and that's how she delivers. Her very personal reasons for rebelling against the empire, I think, are things viewers are going to delight in uncovering each season.
Anyway, believe it or not, that's only a tiny bit of the interview, so head over to Newsarama and read the whole thing.
Rebels reveal: Hera, the Ghost's pilot
And today Entertainment Weekly brings us the final member of the Rebels core cast. Hera, the green Twi'lek voiced by Vanessa Marshall, is described by Dave Filoni as "kind of the heart of the group, keeps everyone together when they would otherwise fall apart."
Hasbro will make figures for Rebels' Hera and Sabine, but then what?
We saw Sabine's official reveal this morning, and although we're still waiting for Hera's, Hasbro confirmed with Newsarama's Lucas Siegel that action figures of both Rebels ladies are coming, and will be unveiled at SDCC.
There's been some blowback to the concerns over the lack of women showed in the first wave of Hasbro Rebels toys. But together with the 'for boys' nature of Disney XD and the apparent 'ladies last' spacing of the character reveals, it's really felt like the female characters – and thus female fans – are there as an afterthought. (Is it really still not a given that women and girls like action?)
Yes, we know 'this is how it is.' Yes, we know that 'it's all here to sell toys.' Yes, we know that's 'what advertisers want.' And that's exactly why we're fighting so hard over this. This is our first major rollout since Disney took the wheel, and this is an uphill battle.
Rebels intro: Sabine, the Mandalorian weapons expert… And graffiti artist
The Hollywood Reporter has our first official reveal of Sabine, the 'pink Mando' we first saw at Toy Fair. She's voiced by Tiya Sircar – the first Rebels voice not to be named in THR's early report. In addition to knowing quite a bit about weapons and explosives, Sabine is also a graffiti artist.
Rebels intro: Zeb revealed
IGN got the scoop on Rebels' Zeb. Voiced by Steve Blum, he's "a tough, seasoned and very intelligent member of the Rebels crew." His species is new, though based on some very old Chewbacca concept art.
Rebels teasers: 'Spark' and 'Ignite'
The teasers are up! You see a brief glimpse of Hera (in the pilot/captain's seat?) in both clips, and some shots of Ezra and even Chopper in action.
These will air tonight on Disney XD during during Kickin' It (6/5c) and Lab Rats (6:30/5:30c,) but thankfully Lucasfilm has spared us this time.
Roundup: No more Expanded Universe toys from Hasbro, TNG's Brent Spiner on Rebels?
Toy Fair. Jedi Temple Archives reports (a bit hyperbolically) that Lucasfilm has told Hasbro that the Expanded Universe is off limits, save for a few figures that were already in the pipeline.
I think this makes sense. We've never gotten all that much EU from Hasbro to begin with, and at this point any EU figure is going to be pounced on by fans as some sort of "proof" for Episode VII. They're cutting back on prequel-era figures as well, to focus on the OT – with a heavy focus on Return of the Jedi as we approach the new films – and Rebels.
Rebels. Is Brent Spiner voicing a character? This tweet from Gallifrey One, a con held in Los Angeles this weekend, leads us to believe so… The actor, who played Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation, has worked with Rebels' Greg Weisman before – they were on a Young Justice panel at the con. (He voiced The Joker on the show.) He was also one of several TNG actors who did voices on Weisman's Gargoyles. And we've had Trek crossover before: George Takei voiced General Lok Durd on The Clone Wars.
Episode VII. Tom Hiddleston and Alex Pettyfer talk their Star Wars chances. (Both unlikely, if for very different reasons) while an Irish unknown, Daryl McCormack, talks about getting far on in the audition process.
The Rebels' lady Mando is named Sabine

— Justin LaSalata (@JustinL81) February 16, 2014
Yes, people were speculating yesterday that the pink/orange Mando could be Ahsoka under her helmet… We also learned that her name is Sabine.
Still haven't seen anything about additional toys of either her or Hera, though. UPDATE: A card for Hera!

SOURCE Aprima Medical Software, Inc.
Over 1,500 former customers of Allscripts MyWay™ have now chosen to upgrade to Aprima; over 1,300 already up and running
DALLAS, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aprima Medical Software announced last July that over 1,000 former customers of Allscripts MyWay™ have chosen to upgrade to Aprima. As of today, that number has jumped to over 1,500 and is still growing. Of those, over 1,300 providers are already live on the system.
Practices all over the country that are former customers of Allscripts MyWay™ have chosen the Aprima EHR (electronic health record) and PM (practice management) solution as their upgrade path as opposed to facing potentially difficult, time consuming and costly conversions to other systems. Since October 2012, when Allscripts announced that it would not develop or update the Allscripts MyWay™ product to be in compliance with government incentives and requirements such as Meaningful Use and ICD-10, providers have sought out Aprima or Aprima resellers as the best and obvious choice for their practice.
Rather than migrate to Allscripts Pro™ – which requires a change in systems, plus a potentially arduous data conversion and retraining period, potentially creating mental, physical and financial disruption to the practice – these providers are taking advantage of the Aprima Rescue Plan™ for customers of Allscripts MyWay™. Since the announcement by Allscripts, Aprima has exceeded the 1,500 provider milestone, with the potential for significantly more providers to choose Aprima in the coming months. Not only have practices chosen Aprima, but dozens of resellers of the Allscripts MyWay™ product have also chosen to make the move to Aprima, as the demand for the Aprima solution grows from their customers.
Practices who have already taken advantage of the Aprima Rescue Plan™ are eager to recommend Aprima to peers who are still on the fence about whether or not to migrate to Allscripts Pro™ or another EHR vastly different from Allscripts MyWay™. Some of our new customers have told us they were concerned that they would lose their financial and other data if they converted to Allscripts Pro™. For customers of Allscripts MyWay™ who have upgraded to Aprima, this has consistently proven to be a non-issue.
"We knew there was a long list of items that would not migrate from Allscripts MyWay™ to Allscripts Pro™, so we wanted an understanding of how well Aprima would convert our data. We were promised everything would make the transition over," recalled Joyce McClung, office manager at Summersville Pediatrics and customer of Aprima Gold Certified Reseller, ConXit Technology Group. The promise was kept. "Everything is here – our vitals, labs, insurance claims status – nothing is missing," said McClung. "I know that wouldn't be the case if we'd changed to Allscripts Pro™, a completely different system." Our physicians love how easy it is to pull up images in Aprima – which are a lot clearer than they were in Allscripts MyWay™."
"Aprima is very pleased to recognize this important milestone of upgrading 1,500 former customers of Allscripts MyWay™, with many, many more expected in the weeks and months ahead," stated Michael Nissenbaum, president of Aprima. "We are even more pleased that these new customers continue to remark that the entire upgrade process was faster – very often just over a long weekend – and easier than they had anticipated. We're also starting to hear from providers who tried the Allscripts Pro™ route and are now re-thinking their choice. Some of the issues they tell us about include delays in their conversion and go-live, realization of how much work is involved and general unhappiness with how different the solution is compared to what they had with Allscripts MyWay™ and will have with Aprima."
The Aprima Rescue Plan™ circumvents the need to switch to another Allscripts EMR product and offers customers the following advantages:

Three years ago, Brandon Stanton, who calls himself "the most followed photographer in the world," was not a photographer. By his own admission, he did not know much about photography, or even cameras. He was a Georgia native living in Chicago and had been working as a bond trader, first at the Chicago Board of Trade and later from an office in Arlington Heights. "I was involved with relative value trading, fixed-income security futures. Short-term stuff. It was more like playing a video game than anything," he said. "I stared at screens for three years straight."
He landed the job after betting $3,000 in 2008 that Barack Obama would win the presidency — a friend who was impressed with the bet recommended him to a trading firm. A couple of years later, after winning big in a football pool, he bought a nice camera; he spent the winter of 2010 learning to operate it, photographing Chicago, taking trains into the Loop on weekends and, for practice, shooting thousands of pictures of street signs.
That summer, he lost his job.
He said he was fired because he had risked too much and "basically, couldn't make money anymore." But by that point, "I was already as obsessed with photography as I had been with bond trading anyway." He left Chicago, heading east to shoot in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and, finally, New York. Along the way, he began noticing something about his pictures:
People make for better pictures than signs.
He also had a crazy notion: He would use his camera to take a photographic census of New York.
During his first month in New York, he shot 600 impromptu street portraits. Three years later, though still nowhere near the 8.3 million he would need for a comprehensive census, he has shot about 6,000 portraits, all of which he posts on "Humans of New York," his phenomenally popular photo blog. Among Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram, Stanton, who is 29 and now works as a commercial photographer, has 2 million followers. Indeed, his project has been so compelling that a hardcover edition, "Humans of New York," collecting 400 of his portraits, was just published by St. Martin's Press. Children, hipsters, pet owners, businessmen, matadors, puppeteers, students — it's a kind of Burpee seed catalog of humanity.
It's also become the template of a popular meme, the inspiration for scores of blogs, from "Humans of Tehran" and "Humans of Oslo" to "Humans of Orlando" and "Humans of Chicago" — the latter of which is the work of a French transplant, Elizabeth Benault, 37, who moved to Chicago last year with her husband.
"I don't have my work permit for this country, so I haven't been able to work," she said. "But when I saw Brandon Stanton's blog, I thought, 'I know what I must do now.' Because I am an immigrant in a big city — I am from a small village in northern France of about 800 people — the camera has helped me understand the people and places in Chicago. I take pictures and ask questions, and I don't feel as anonymous as I did."
People like looking at people.
This is not a trend, or a revelation.
And yet, at the moment, the act of people looking at people — as they are every day, as they look, act and sound (presumably when no one was planning to look or listen) — is the connective tissue between many disparate works of art and pop culture. It is the defining aesthetic of both the security-camera-based "Paranormal Activity" horror films and the performance artist Marina Abramovic, whose 2010 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York included an opportunity to stare into the artist's eyes. It is intrinsic to the popularity of Facebook and partly behind the addictiveness of YouTube. It is not about naturalism: Abramovic, like Stanton, requires the wholehearted consent of ordinary people incorporated in her work.
It is, rather, art without artifice, burrowing into a culture that often seems like nothing but artifice.
Even the rise of the anti-talk show — an increasingly popular sub-genre of a TV genre notorious for its phoniness — might be attributed to this impulse to capture people unadorned. Consider Jerry Seinfeld's stripped-down, self-explanatory Web series, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," or the thoughtful man-on-the-street interviews of FX's "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell." The point is not to poke fun or to capture embarrassing situations — just to present people, as they are.
Said comedian Billy Eichner, whose "Billy on the Street" interview/game show on Funny or Die became a (still woefully underrated) series on the Fuse cable network: "People have come to me and asked, 'Do you want to do a talk show?' And my reaction always is, 'I kind of feel like I already am doing a talk show.'"
"Billy on the Street" partly consists of Eichner, who studied theater at Northwestern University, running around New York and asking strangers if they agree with his opinions: Do you like Meryl Streep? (Good, you get $1.) Would you trust your children with singer Katharine McPhee? (No? You get no money.) But it's his moments with celebrities, whom he drags along on his sidewalk interviews, that are most telling: A segment with Zachary Quinto of the new "Star Trek" films, for instance, mostly consisted of Eichner shouting at strangers, "It's Spock! Do you care?" and Quinto's hard-to-disguise (for the most part amused) reactions when they did not care.
It's both a charming portrait of an actor (self-effacing, easygoing) and a city (brusque, distracted).
"My intention was not to bring him back to earth," Eichner said. "I'm 35. I grew up as a gay kid obsessed with Madonna who thought famous people were from another planet. Now the culture has become so snarky there's no mystique. People are so exposed. Yet, at the same time, you don't really know who they are. The idea was to strike a balance. (Quinto) actually said to me afterward, 'Every actor should have to do that.'"
Not that humanizing celebrities is the goal.
"To be honest, I think a lot of work like this is somewhat of a reaction to an overabundance of celebrity culture," said Scott Schuman, who started "The Sartorialist" street-fashion blog in 2005. A forerunner to ordinary-people blogs like "Humans of New York," it was created by Schuman, who grew up in Indianapolis and worked for years in fashion sales, as "a way of getting the everyday romance of people who I saw on the street. I was not a journalist. I just wanted photos of them, and clothes helps tell a story of who they are."
Even Stanton — whose first photos on "Humans of New York" were often staged, matching posed subjects he encountered on the street with clever backgrounds — has found himself increasingly photographing anyone he stumbles upon, in any setting.

So if you guys slightly remember some of my last threads asking about the PS Vita, I was saving up for one. Well, the time is nearly here. However, here's the thing. I'm looking at the PS Vita games and stuff and I'm wondering are there ANY must plays on the PS Vita right now? In other words, do I even have a reason to get a Vita at this moment? I'm not saying I have zero reasons to get a Vita, what I'm saying is, I'd rather wait until there's at least one or two must plays before dishing out the cash.
Is Gravity Daze what you guys consider a must play?
Last but not least, you guys are a 100% if someone buys a 3G vita, they don't have to have the AT&T 3G package? I'm just wanting to make sure.

Sony has basically sent Vita out to die imo. It had some good launch titles but hasnt had jack since then. As a result mine just sat around gathering dust so I finally just sold it and never looked back. And the memory sticks are way overpriced. So I would have to say no.

Uncharted, wipeout, and nfs are must plays. It depends on you teally. How much use would you get out of it. I have a job that allows me to play a lot.
There are some really good ones on the horizon too.
I have the wifi version and no 3g package at all.

The PS VITA is an amazing system and it will give and deliver a different experience. If you have the money and wants to buy it, than go ahead as I did. But if you don't much money and could wait. Than do that as the poster above said. The VITA will be always around to buy.

IMO, save your money. Theres not enough really good games out to justify buying one
Though im saying this as a non-vita owner, but I bought a PSP as soon as I could (around the time the PSP Slim silver was introduced) and I've kind of regretted it ever since. There hasnt been many games on that platform, and most of the good ones I found a pain in the ass to play. Hopefully the rumours about Monster Hunter 4 on vita is true, cause that would make me go a long way to consider buying one.

I've had mine since it came out and I agree it is an amazing handheld but there are only a small selection of games worth getting imo such as;
Super Stardust Delta
Lumines Electronic Symphony
Wipeout 2048
Gravity Rush
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Although saying that there are a few games I have not tried on the Vita such as Little Big Planet, Assassins Creed Liberation and Little Deviants.
I've only recently started playing on the Vita again because I went back to my 360, I had previously thought about selling my Vita but I'm quite glad I didn't to be honest, would of regretted it.

The PS Vita is turning 1yrs old in the states so I hardly think this is "rushing" in to anything. I think right now is a fine time to buy the Vita. I will drop you a list of my favorite Vita games which should be plenty reason to own one.
1. Persona 4 Golden
2. Uncharted: Golden Abyss
3. Little Big Planet Vita
4. Gravity Rush
5. Ragnarok Odyssey
6. Mortal Kombat
7. Sonic & All-Stars Racing
8. Rayman Origins
9. PS1 Classics (these look very nice on the OLED screen)
10. Need For Speed: Most Wanted

I travel a ton, and I actually do way more gaming on handhelds than my consoles. While I think the Vita is great, I still carry my PSP.. There's not a ton there right now, but I do think it's coming in the future. I don't regret buying it at all.

Isn't there supposed to be a price cut sometime this year?

Don't buy one yet, give it at least a few months until the content ramps up. There's a few games coming that look decent. The current library isn't quite there yet, in my opinion.
Love how people can so readily cry out for a price cut when they've no financial stake at risk.

One More Story From Baja California
For two months, you've put up with my reminiscences of Baja. I'd like to tell you about just one more trip down there.
Back when Tom McMullen was president of McMullen Publishing and I was at the helm of 4WD&SU during my first stint as editor-in-chief, Tom wanted to check out Baja California between the Sierra Juarez and Laguna Salada. We ended up at Agua Caliente, an obscure oasis in the desert hills. There were interesting canyons and oasis to explore along the way. We had invited a number of people to come with us, so we had quite a group of vehicles.
We met on a Wednesday evening in Ocotillo, California, and after dinner at Denny's, Tom suggested we head south from there and check out a place he knew. It was well after dark, but we hopped in our vehicles and wasted precious gas exploring two canyons that turned into slots, then ended in high rock waterfalls. Backtracking a bit and heading east, we found a large break in the hills with a wide wash going south and a BLM route marker on it. We took off down this wash, spreading out until we could only see the glow of each other's lights occasionally as we bounced up and down through the desert.
After a few miles of this, I saw the lights of a power station and a highway up ahead. It turned out to be Highway 2 in Baja California. We had passed no border fence or anything else to indicate we'd traveled from the United States into Mexico. Things have changed since then. We regrouped on the pavement, went east, then turned south on the dirt road to the west of Laguna Salada. Now it was time to step on it. We tried to go much faster, but ended up settling on 50 to 55 mph as that was all our archaic suspensions and shocks could take. When we finally stopped to make camp for the night, my shocks were too hot to touch and had burned the labels off!
The next morning, we checked the map and the brand new GPS unit Mark Gonske had brought from his day job in the USAF Space Command and pinpointed where we were. This was the first time any of us had seen a GPS unit. All the satellites weren't up yet, but it still worked. The GPS showed that we were near El Palomar, one of the canyons we wanted to explore, so off we went. The beginning of El Palomar turned out be a beautiful, wide and flat wash with white sand and palm trees along it. The sand ended in big boulders, where we dismounted and hiked, marveling at the prehistoric rock art all along the canyon. We went back to the vehicles and backtracked to the dirt road, heading over a ridge to the next canyon.
Tom McMullen was a character. He couldn't wait to go on a trip, then couldn't wait to blast through it and get home. Tom was having a fit because we didn't want to go straight to Agua Caliente, then straight home. We told him that we hadn't come all the way down to Baja go immediately home, so we headed up the next canyon, leaving Tom to pout at the canyon's mouth. As we followed the track up this canyon, we soon encountered a rushing stream and crisscrossed it as the road traversed the canyon from side to side. We rounded a corner and a fantastic view met our eyes. Hundreds of palm trees filled the canyon, growing around a series of springs that fed the rushing stream we'd been following. It was very beautiful and a great place to eat lunch. While we were eating, Mark showed us on the GPS and map that we had actually reentered El Palomar further up.

Mid-March found Steven Hacker buttonholing congressmen, senators, and aides in Washington, D.C. The top concern for the executive director for the International Association of Exposition Management? Air travel safety at the turn of the millennium.
A month earlier, the General Accounting Office had filed a congressional report stating that the Federal Aviation Administration could suffer a dramatic computer glitch on January 1, 2000--closing down every airport in the nation--because the FAA wouldn't be able to purge the "millennium bug" from its air-traffic control computers.
"Our member are dependent on seamless air travel," Hacker says. "There's a growing concern that the FAA might be dragging its feet on Y2K compliance."
What is the "millennium bug," otherwise known as the Y2K problem? It starts with a decision made in the early days of computers. In order to save memory, and because they assumed their programs would be replaced regularly, programmers decided to represent years with two digits instead of four. The first two digits--1 and 9--were assumed. But lots of those programs have not been replaced, and at one second past midnight on the first day of the year 2000, those programs will, as far as they "know," be running in the year 00--that is, 1900. So what will happen? It's not exactly clear. Some computers will freeze like a block of ice, making data and software inaccessible. Others may cancel reservations or contracts or policies.
The bug is a gremlin with egalitarian taste. It can affect any computer that is not Y2K-compliant (although the more recent the model, the more likely its compliance), including computers used to handle air-traffic control, hotel room reservations, function space allocation, environmental controls, hotel room assignments from housing bureaus, travel reservations, and accounting.
It's not just a problem for MIS (manager of information services) personnel. Abdication by meeting planners could open an organization to liabilities. Some lawyers predict an avalanche of litigation regarding this issue. For example, let's say an exhibitor spends thousands of dollars to display products at an exposition in January 2000. But ventilation controls fail to work and the hall becomes hot. Attendees leave. The exhibitor decides to sue the organizer. Getting Y2K certification for the planner's organization and from suppliers, therefore, becomes the best safeguard against possible litigation. (See sidebar on page 43.)
Fortunately, most industry suppliers are on top of the issue. Here's a rundown of some of their efforts:
Airlines: In early February, Northwest Airlines became the third airline (following KLM and Lufthansa) to say it would ground flights on January 1, 2000, if the millennium bug had not been worked out of various systems. The announcement raised eyebrows, especially when reports from the General Accounting Office were also released. The concerns were premature, according to Tom Browne, who heads up an oversight committee in Washington, D.C., for the Air Transport Association.
"Yes, we are concerned about compliance with the FAA," Browne admits. "Having said that, we also are working with the FAA and looking at its plans. The situation is not as dire as everyone once thought. The FAA has completed 8,000 hours of testing of its computers, and not one of them has experienced a single Y2K failure." He noted that the initial reports regarding the FAA's computers were based on dated information. Throughout the year, Browne will assess the FAA's Y2K compliance program and will have an industry report ready by November.
Being so dependent on computers for safety and reservations, the airline industry has pursued compliance aggressively. For example, Tom Smith, a spokesman for American Airlines in Fort Worth, Texas, says that the airline is in good shape and that its critical functions should be compliant by the middle of this year. He also noted that the airline is confident that the FAA will have its ducks in a row by January 1, 2000.
Hotels: Most hotels have tackled the Y2K issue. They cannot afford to do otherwise. "Hotel reservation systems and global distribution systems that are not Y2K-compliant risk significant losses in revenue due to failure of these systems to book hotel rooms. Reservation data could possibly be rejected if the 2000 date isn't recognized," says Karin Wacaser, spokesperson for THISCO, which develops and maintains reservation-system software and hardware. Beginning midyear, THISCO will run Y2K compliance tests with its 100 hotel company customers, representing 26,000 properties in 150 countries.
Individual hotel companies also are hunting for the bug. Hilton Hotels Corporation, for example, has been searching for its Y2K gremlins for more than 18 months. "There's a lot to do," says Joe Durocher, senior vice president and chief information officer. He notes that the company has begun to determine which of its computer systems are Y2K-compliant and to take steps to correct those that aren't. Hilton is also contacting vendors and customers with whom it exchanges data.
Hyatt has been knee-deep in the compliance issue for two years, according to Bob Bansfield, director of MIS for Hyatt Corporation, Chicago. All the chain's primary systems will be compliant by this month, then the secondary systems will be worked on, he says. The company plans to complete its Y2K certification process by the end of this year. Hyatt has also received correspondence from customers regarding its Y2K certification program. To answer customer questions, the company is creating a document that explains its compliance program.
Convention Centers: "Our customers have asked us to certify their systems as being Y2K-compliant," says Dieter Ungerboeck, president of Ungerboeck Systems International, St. Louis. USI has installed software in more than 100 convention centers, making it one of the most widely used vendors. "Convention centers have been booking meetings into the 21st century for a long time, so the level of awareness is high," he adds. In addition to making the software compliant with the International Standards Organization's (ISO) Y2K recommendations, the company's upgrade includes a gatekeeper that prevents anyone from transferring data to a convention center's system from a computer that is not ISO Y2K-compliant. He suggests that everyone do the same.
Individual centers are also attacking the problem. "We are in the process of upgrading and replacing any system that contained the problem, and the new systems will be in place before we hit the year 2000," says John Devona, director of marketing for McCormick Place, Chicago.
Even small facilities are ferreting out the bug. According to Merritt Wolfe, vice president of information systems for SMG, which manages several centers in the United States, including the Centrum Centre in Worcester, Mass., "It is my objective to have all noncompliant building operation systems identified, along with the cost of making them compliant, including replacement systems if necessary, by June 1, 1998."
Planners: As these highlights show, suppliers are eliminating most of the industry's millennium bugs, but there's no MIS expert who believes that the cure will be 100 percent effective. They all fear that one computer clock or one software modification will escape notice. What would that mean for planners? Glitches will materialize mysteriously. Nor will all the glitches pop up on January 1, 2000. They could occur throughout the year. Some specialists predict that the glitches could arise even as late as 2003.
What is a planner to do? Start with the five-step program outlined on this page. By asking questions and requesting compliance certifications, you can create awareness and minimize the bug's impact. It's a matter of being forewarned and forearmed. *
Five-Step Y2K Program for Meeting Planners Read. Computer experts have praised the book The Year 2000 Problem Solver: A Five-Step Disaster Prevention Plan (McGraw-Hill, New York, $29.95). The magazines InfoWorld and ComputerWorld have published easy- to-read features on the subject.
Get on the Internet. Check out Web sites for major vendors, such as IBM and Microsoft. There are a number of other Web sites geared to just this problem. Ones to look for: www.year2000.com; www.righttime.com; www.mitre.org/research/y2k; and www.microsoft.com/cio/year.asp.
Talk to your organization's MIS people as well as your hardware and software vendors. Ask if your equipment and software are compliant with ISO Y2K standards. Don't forget your homework. Be aware of any hybrid additions to your software, warns E.J. Siwek, a software designer and head of Meeting Professionals International's technical advisory committee. He notes that a solution for a general software program will not necessarily make corrections in any software added at a later date.
Work with your MIS people and attorneys to develop a questionnaire for suppliers--hotels, convention centers, airlines, travel agencies, continuing education unit fulfillment houses, housing bureaus, contractors, and exhibitors--to determine when they will be Y2K-compliant. If a supplier is not already tackling the problem, there could be problems down the line. Computer industry analysts anticipate a deluge of individuals and small companies bringing their computers to vendors next year, creating a shortage of experts and lengthening the lead times needed for correcting the problem.

Does the first evidence of life date to 3.85 billion years ago (Ga), or 3.65 Ga? A 200-million-years discrepancy may seem trivial almost 4 billion years after the fact. And yet scientists continue to debate whether some of the oldest rocks ever found date to 3.85 Ga, or "just" 3.65 Ga.
The discrepancy matters because the rocks, however old they are, indicate that life already existed at the time they formed. The dispute is not just a matter of how early life began, however, but under what conditions: The earlier date was during the tail end of an asteroid storm called the "late heavy bombardment," while the later date was after the bombardment ceased.
For astrobiology, the issue could hardly have greater weight. What conditions allowed life to emerge? How quickly after the planet coalesced from primordial dust and gas did chemicals organize themselves into self-replicating, evolving systems -- into life? And what evidence of that early life would remain after billions of years?
The debate concerns samples of graphite - a form of carbon used in pencil leads -- from the snowy, barren wastes of western Greenland. In 1979, German geologist Manfred Schidlowski first argued that ratios of carbon isotopes from the rocks were a relic of organic matter. The issue has been contested with renewed vigor since 1996, when Stephen Mojzsis, a geologist at the University of Colorado, published a study of microscopic samples of carbon from the same area.
The samples were found in black, fine-grained, highly deformed rocks that started out as ocean-floor sediments. Marine sediments receive a continual rain of matter - both organic and inorganic -- from the water, so they are a good place to look for the remains of past life.
The debate over the sediments has two parts: What is the evidence for life? And how old are the rocks containing it?
Rocks of this age are not likely to contain conventional fossils -- to date, the oldest undisputed fossils appear in rocks from 3.2 Ga. Fossils in older rocks would have long since been destroyed by eons of heat, pressure and deformation. In searching for the oldest life, Mojzsis observes, "you have to look to the chemical record, on the principle that life changes the chemistry of its surroundings in a predictable way."
The chemical record of ancient life, found in so-called "chemofossils," is reflected in the ratio of isotopes, with carbon being particularly useful. Carbon exists in nature in more than one form. Normally, carbon-13 (C-13, with atomic weight 13), is much rarer than C-12. However, biological processes concentrate C-12, so when organic debris falls to the ocean floor, the C-12 to C-13 ratio rises still further in the sedimentary rock that forms. That ratio is preserved even in rocks that formed billions of years ago.
The percentage differences are small, but distinctive, says Craig Manning, a geologist at the University of California at Los Angeles. "In the modern world, the only way you can generate such a high ratio of carbon-12 relative to carbon-13 is if some sort of fractionation [or preferential use of carbon-12] occurs in living organisms."
Manning, who helped map Akilia Island, Greenland, where the possible 3.85 Ga sediments were found, says ancient life is "the simplest explanation" for their carbon ratios.
The isotopic evidence may be ancient and subtle, but it's convincing to John Valley, a professor of geology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has a lot of experience dating ancient rocks. High C-12 to C-13 ratios, he says, "when present in sufficient quantity, are very strong evidence of organic activity, although I don't use the word 'proof.'"
But do the rocks that held the carbon really date to 3.85 Ga? Rock of sedimentary origin cannot be dated directly. However, it's possible to deduce a minimum age by dating any igneous "intrusions" that have cut through the sedimentary rock. These intrusions can be dated by the presence within them of crystals called zircons. And because the intrusions were deposited after the sedimentary rock, knowing the age of the zircons gives a minimum age of the sedimentary rock.
Geochronologists depend on zircons. Mojzsis, for example, calls them "nature's timekeepers." Zircons crystallize from molten igneous rock as it cools. When they first crystallize, zircons contain uranium, a radioactive element that slowly decays to lead. But until the decay process begins, lead is absent. Because all the lead they now contain originally must have been uranium, the ratio of uranium to lead reflects the time since the zircons formed - since the igneous rock cooled.
Thomas Krogh, who helped develop the uranium-lead zircon dating method at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, says that even if the zircons are reheated, as happened at least once to the Greenland samples, they retain a "memory" of the first crystallization. Even more than 3.5 billion years later, uranium-lead dating is accurate to within a few million years, Krogh adds.
But because the Greenland rocks were severely deformed during billions of years of geologic turmoil, their age sequence - which rocks were laid down first, which later? - is confusing. Obviously, accurate zircon dating can help determine the age of the sedimentary rocks only if the age relationship of the various rocks is known accurately.
During summer, 2000, Manning, Mojzsis and Mark Harrison of UCLA performed a detailed survey of Akilia Island. "All the previous claims were based on an old kind of mapping," Manning says. "You [can't] just stand there with notebook and sketch what you see. Given the magnitude of the claims, it was extremely important to lay out a grid and map at more detailed scale."
After two weeks of mapping, he says, "We did discover a good crosscutting relationship" among the rocks. The 3.85 Ga figure, he adds, "is indisputable, as far as we're concerned." This new research has been submitted for publication.
While Manning, Mojzsis and Krogh all think the 3.85 Ga age is correct, Stephen Moorbath, a geologist at Oxford University contends that the rocks were most likely deposited about 3.65 to 3.70 Ga. This more recent dating would explain the absence of the element iridium - rare on Earth but common in asteroids - or any other signs of asteroid impacts, such as surface turbulence.
Due to the paucity of evidence, the detailed interpretation of life from ancient samples may always remain controversial, yet the very existence of samples moves the discussion of ancient life from the realm of speculation and theory into the realm of experimentation. In other words, says Mojzsis, it enters the realm of science.
"The geological record of Earth is the baseline from which we can investigate evidence of past environments on any other planet. On Earth, we call a spacecraft a Toyota Land Cruiser, and a sample return mission can return hundreds of kilograms to the world's best labs."
Ancient zircons, he adds, "are intrinsically exciting because they help us understand the early Earth. These studies provide an important feature for any scientific discussion: data."

ISE Mission Partners: Department of State
Posted by admin on Saturday, December 11, 2010
Department of State Overview
The mission of the Department of State is to advance freedom for the benefit of the American people and the international community by helping to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world composed of well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty, and act responsibly within the international system.
Combating violent extremism is not only a U.S. concern. Accordingly, robust and regular two-way information sharing and collaboration with international partners continue to be cornerstones of our effort to thwart terrorist attacks.
More Department of State Overview
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6 (HSPD-6) concerns the use of information about individuals known or suspected to engage in terrorist activities. United States policy is to develop, integrate, and maintain thorough, accurate, and current information about individuals known or appropriately suspected to be or have been engaged in conduct related to terrorism. Such information shall be used to support federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, foreign-government, and private-sector screening processes, and diplomatic, military, intelligence, law enforcement, immigration, visa, and protective processes.
The Department of State leads the diplomatic outreach for the HSPD-6 initiative and conducts negotiations jointly with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), the implementing agency. As of July 2010, the Department of State and the TSC had concluded non-binding arrangements or formal agreements with 18 foreign partners encompassing commitments for the reciprocal exchange of terrorism screening information pursuant to Homeland Security Presidential Directive-6. TSC provides our foreign partner with access to a subset of the Terrorist Screening Database in exchange for a list of known or suspected terrorists from our foreign partners.

When you are pregnant, your hormone levels tend to get wacky, especially during your first trimester as your body is adjusting to all the newness going on in your womb, which tends to heighten your chances of acne during pregnancy. As someone who's suffered from acne problems well into adulthood, even without being pregnant, I'm always on the lookout for new products to help tame breakouts.
Though some doctors tell pregnant women that products containing synthetic salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are not safe during pregnancy, as mine did 4 years ago when I was pregnant with my oldest, others find it safe.
