- Blue Dogs and New Democrats Find Friends on Wall StreetNovember 17, 2009 9:45 AM
Like the health care reform debate, financial regulation legislation has divided members of the same party, opening a rift between liberal and moderate Democrats. But unlike the health care reform debate, where the moderate Blue Dog Democrats have been rabid in their opposition to a public insurance option, a different group has emerged to voice moderates' concerns over financial regulation -- but both are magnets for cash from the financial sector.

- Capital Eye Opener: Wednesday, October 21October 21, 2009 10:00 AM
MCCAIN-FEINGOLD? ZZZZZZZ. We've been waiting for weeks for an outcome to Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which could very well change the nature of federal campaign finance laws as we know them. Nothing yet. But it's given us time to ponder why federal legislation always has such b-o-r-i-n-g names. (Shays-Meehan? Sounds like some sort of chronic thyroid condition.) Congress, let's get creative.
- Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is OnOctober 16, 2009 5:50 PM
An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in.

The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

FORTUNE -- Apple (AAPL) has confirmed that it urged Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer over the weekend to veto a bill that would allow business owners with strongly held religious beliefs to deny service to gays and lesbians.
Since the Arizona statehouse passed the measure last Thursday, Gov. Brewer has faced growing pressure to kill the bill that opponents characterize as "state-sanctioned discrimination."
Three state senators who voted for the bill are now asking her to veto it. So are Arizona's two U.S. Senators: John McCain and Jeff Flake, both Republicans. American Airlines (AAL) and Marriott (MAR) have warned that an anti-gay law could be bad for business.
We don't know who at Apple phoned the Governor (it was not Tim Cook), or what exactly was said. But it was only last November that Cook announced that Apple was building a sapphire glass plant in Mesa, AZ, that would bring 2,000 new jobs to the state.
"Apple is indisputably one of the world's most innovative companies and I'm thrilled to welcome them to Arizona," Gov. Brewer said at the time. "Apple will have an incredibly positive economic impact for Arizona and its decision to locate here speaks volumes about the friendly, pro-business climate we have been creating these past four years."
It sounds like Tim Cook may be having second thoughts about how "friendly" and "pro-business" that climate really is.
UPDATE 1: Readers in the comment stream point out that in addition to a partially built factory, Apple has five stores in the state.
UPDATE 2: Gov. Brewer vetoed the bill on Wednesday.

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
In a few weeks Israel will be celebrating the joyous holiday of Purim. One of the main activities of this celebration is the sending of Mishloach Manot (Gift Baskets) from family to family. This holiday is one that is especially memorable for children. They will dress up in costume and participate in street parades.
Unfortunately, there are many children whose parents cannot afford to involve their children in this festive time as a result of their economic circumstances. Many children rely on basic nourishment at after school centers, where they congregate in the afternoons.
Israel Today has been committed for many years to ensuring a quality life for all Israeli children. This year, as in previous years, we will be concentrating our efforts to help children from needy families to enable them to enjoy this time of the year.
Through the generosity of our subscribers and readers of the magazine, Israel Today will be able to:
Young engineers in Israel are making their way in the world, providing innovative solutions to improve quality of life for the elderly.
Teams of engineer-minded youth between the ages of 9-14 participated in robotics competitions across the country. The semi-finalists competed at a national competition which is held annually in Tel Aviv, sending the best and the brightest to compete internationally against 80 different countries in April.
Among the robotic competitions and challenges, one of the categories is called "Senior Solutions" where the teams come up with practical robotic inventions that will help the elderly in their day to day life.
Some of the inventions are as follows:
• Talking eyeglasses that can read written texts such as signs, warning them of environmental dangers.
• Unique wristwatch which is networked to the medical center reminds the elderly to take their prescriptions, giving them the time and dosage information.
• Stabilizer glove with reinforced shock absorbers helps those suffering from Parkinson's disease to hold a glass of water or safely consume a hot drink without shaking.
• Smart bracelet locates important objects and warns against theft.
• "Doctor box" allows doctors to perform important tests and monitor the health situation of the elderly via live video, so that they wont have to leave the house.
These competitions will improve kids' self confidence, create new networking connections and help them to discover their life path. Who knows what kinds of innovations could be introduced to the world just by making opportunities for kids to grow in their talents and abilities.
You can help put Israeli children on a better path by partnering with Israel Today and sending a contribution. The support we receive from our readers puts food on the table of struggling families in Israel, giving children what they need to make a difference in Israel, and the world. Click here to give today.

- Reviewer: Staff
Timed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Lear's birth, this collection gathers several of Lear's poems, including "The Jumblies," "The Duck and the Kangaroo," and "Calico Pie." Ingpen contributes lush paintings throughout—broccoli-haired Jumblies float in a sieve in the pale sea, and a nude old man runs for cover after animals devour his pork chop trousers and pancake coat in "The New Vestments." By the time readers reach the final poem, they'll be in agreement with its sentiment: " 'How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!'/ Who has written such volumes of stuff!/ Some think him ill-tempered and queer,/ But a few think him pleasant enough." Ages 7–9. (Oct.)

Hi There,
I'm completely new here and have no experience in electrical work. I have a front porch light where the bulb burnt out. I went to replace it with the light switch turned on and nothing initially happened until I touched the bulb. It had a faint glow in the filament. What's going on? I'm scared that I did something very dangerous and certainly won't be touching it again. Thanks. -- Alexsis

Valpo Picked Second in Mid-Con Preseason Poll
Wednesday, October 19, 2005The Crusaders were picked to finish second in the Mid-Continent Conference by a poll of conference coaches, Sports Information Directors and selected members of the media. Seniors Ron Howard (Chicago, Ill./Whitney Young/Marquette) and Dan Oppland (Saint Louis, Mo./Whitfield) were tabbed to the All-Conference First Team.
Oral Roberts, the defending regular season champions, were picked to repeat, earning 24 of 28 first place votes for a total of 358 points. Valpo was next with 314 points and two first place votes. IUPUI, Western Illinois, and UMKC rounded out the top five.
Oppland and Howard both earned All-Conference honors last season, pacing the Brown and Gold to a 10-6 Mid-Con record before an upset loss in the first round of the conference tournament. Two more Valpo seniors, Ali Berdiel (Ponce, P.R./Andrean (Ind.) H.S.) and Mohamed Kone (Lyon, France/Jean Paul Saltre/College of Southern Idaho) were named to the All-Conference Second Team, giving Valpo a league-best four players so honored.
Caleb Green, the defending Player of the Year, was picked to repeat and joins teammate Ken Tutt, UMKC's Quinton Day and IUPUI senior Brandon Cole on the All-Conference First Team. Western Illinois' David Jackson, Oral Roberts' Larry Owens and IUPUI's George Hill join Berdiel and Kone on the Second Team.
The Crusaders, led by six seniors, are looking to get back to the NCAA Tournament after missing the post-season for only the second time in 10 years. Boosted by the return of Berdiel, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, and the addition of Kone, one of the top rated junior college centers in America, the Brown and Gold will open their quest with an exhibition game Saturday, November 5 at 7:05 p.m. against Capital.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – Cleveland® Golf / Srixon® congratulates staffer Keegan Bradley for his victory over the weekend at the 2012 World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational, held at Firestone Country Club's South Course, in Akron, Ohio.
Winning his first PGA TOUR title of 2012 and third of his career, Bradley carded a 6-under-par 64 Sunday to finish at 13-under-par 267 and collect the $1.4 million winner's check. The 26-year-old was four shots off the lead heading into the final round, and found himself six shots back when the tournament leader opened with three straight birdies. But Bradley, the reigning PGA TOUR Rookie Of The Year, kept pecking away at the lead, holing a 25-foot birdie putt on the seventh and then notching four more birdies on the back nine. On the final hole, Bradley needed a seemingly improbable up-and-down from a plugged lie in a greenside bunker to win. He played his bunker shot to 15 feet and drained the putt, adding another dramatic moment and victory to his highlight-filled first two years on Tour.
"I just kept telling myself that this is the exact moment that I live for, that you play golf for, that you grow up your whole life, and I'm living it," said Bradley. "It's just an amazing feeling to be in that moment and just loving every second of it."


text: Depends...if the installation instructions call for separate circuits, you should use separate circuits. Disposers are available in at least up to 1Hp versions, which along with a DW that was heating the water, might overload the circuit. So, to preserve long-term potential changes and options, an extra circuit won't hurt.

iPad mini 'coming soon' to carriers, 4th Gen iPad available now
- 23 November, 2012 09:50
The iPad mini pre-registration page on Telstra's Web site.
Telstra, Optus and Vodafone will sell Apple's Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad mini "in the coming weeks", while the latest 4th Generation iPad is available through all three carriers now, it was announced today.
Telstra, Optus and Vodafone revealed today that Apple's 4th Generation Wi-Fi + Cellular Pad, the first iPad to be compatible with Australian 4G networks, is available now from. It will sell on a range of 24 month contracts through Telstra and Vodafone, while Optus will sell the tablet on both 12 and 24 month plans. Price through each telco varies depending on the plan and the model chosen.
In addition to the 4th Generation iPad, all three telcos will sell the Wi-Fi + Cellular version of the iPad mini in the coming weeks. Telstra is currently allowing potential customers to register their interest in the upcoming iPad mini by leaving their details, while Vodafone's iPad mini page simply lists the device as "coming soon". The Optus Web site doesn't yet list the iPad mini at all, though the telco has confirmed it will be available "soon".
Pricing and an official release date for the 4G version of the iPad mini is yet to be revealed by any of the telcos.

Gerry and Pearl Sugarman once had an argument — "Only once," Pearl interjects sarcastically — over a board game and an eight-letter word.
It was in the early 1970s, maybe 1972, Gerry said, when he laid down the tiles to spell "relurked."
Pearl didn't think that was a word. She doubted her husband, the proud 1985 champion of the International Scrabble Tournament held in Atlantic City, N.J. The 79-year-old also is the leader of the Scrabble Club of Naples, a group that meets each Tuesday to keep their skills sharp.
Gerry is good, but so is Pearl.
"I made 'relurked' and Pearl challenged it, and we argued so long that we bought a new book," Gerry said.
The official Scrabble book lists all English words that can be played. It doesn't contain definitions, because meaning isn't important to the game, and as Gerry soon found out, it doesn't include the word "relurked" either.
"She won, but it was too late," Gerry said, still triumphant 40 years later. "The game was over."
Pearl smirks at her husband now from a table at the Books-A-Million in Mercato where the Scrabble club formerly met weekly. The couple hasn't fought about the game since they bought that official book, Gerry said.
And for 16 years, between 1965 and 1981, they played Scrabble at least once a day, keeping track of each win and high score.
They traveled the world in the meantime, taking photos of themselves playing in front of international landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Sphinx and the Matterhorn.
But playing at a bookstore in North Naples is just as exciting for Gerry.
On this Tuesday, he plays San Carlos Park resident Henrietta Dykstra. A second member, part-time Naples resident Jackie Nickerson, keeps score. The group is small typically, and one game is played tonight because Gerry only brought only one board. He said members get busy with kids and commitments and a lot choose to play online instead of in person.
Gerry peers through thick glasses between the seven tiles on his rack and those already on the board.
He plays "pry" then "wind" then "winded." Dykstra spells "mail," "rough," and "quite."
More information
If you want to join the Scrabble Club of Naples, call Gerry Sugarman at 239-304-5444.
For information on the Fort Myers NASPA (North American Scrabble Players Association) Club, call Daniel Hellmann at 239-939-1973.
"Here's a word for you," Gerry said, laying down the tiles to spell "big" in one direction and "qi" in another.
"Qi" is one of those words listed in the official book and on the printed piece of paper Gerry likes to pass out that includes two- and three-letter options for Scrabble players who find themselves in a bind.
John Chew, co-president of the North American Scrabble Players Association, said the association has 2,268 paying members. Throughout the country, there are 13,780 players with tournament ratings. There were 387 sanctioned tournaments held in 2012.
Chew, who lives in Toronto, said there are 139 NASPA-sanctioned, official Scrabble clubs throughout the United States. There is a sanctioned club in Fort Myers, but the Naples club is on the list of casual clubs, meaning members aren't focused on tournaments.
Gerry started playing the game in college when he realized chess required skill and thought, while Scrabble also incorporated luck — you couldn't predict what letter tiles you would draw from the bag and be forced to play with.
Gerry brought his 1985 tournament trophy to Books-A-Million on this night. It draws questions and comments from passers-by.
"They must be famous," a woman said, to which Gerry replied: "Infamous."
"I can pose with it if you want," Gerry said. "It doesn't do anything now."
"Collects dust," Pearl said.
Gerry, who has played more than 20,000 games in his lifetime, is working on his next word, brows furrowed at the board, thumbing his tiles.
"Listen, if you don't let him win, he's going to start crying, so just take it easy," Nickerson warns his opponent.
"I don't let anyone win," Dykstra said between bites of a chocolate dessert.
Neither does Gerry. Once during a tournament, he played three words before his opponent got to take a turn. The words "loaming," "lunted" and "kbar" didn't sound authentic, and his opponent challenged all three, losing his turn each time they showed up in the official book.
"By that time my opponent was completely destroyed," Gerry said, laughing. "The win was decided before he even went."
Dykstra plays the word "maze," which allows Gerry to play "float" across a triple-word-score space on the board.
Later, he uses all seven of his tiles to spell "designs." Playing all of your seven letters is called a "bingo" and earns the player a 50-point bonus. Gerry's score totals 72 for that round.
"You see the strategy? It's not all knowing words," he said. "It's how you use them."
A little more than an hour after they began playing, Gerry is shoveling tiles back into his drawstring Scrabble bag, folding the personalized board with his and his wife's name, and explaining a favorite Scrabble anagram: You can add the letter "s" to the beginning or end of "word" to make "sword" or "words."
"Words can be a two-edged sword," he said.
"Who won?" Pearl asks as the group disbands for the week.
"Gerry did," Dykstra said.
The score was 347-271, but Gerry is too busy talking to hear the tally relayed for his wife.
"As you can see," he said, his voice rising to a near giggle. "I love talking about Scrabble."
The club formerly met at Books A Million in Mercato, which is now closed. Call Gerry Sugarman at 239-304-5444 for the new meeting location.

The latest in Titan Books' series of behind-the-scenes video game art books goes back to the ruins of the necromorph-infested Ishimura and forward to the frozen wastes of Tau Volantis for The Art of Dead Space. Martin Robinson, who also worked on Titan's Halo: The Art of Building Worlds, has pulled together over 300 images focusing mainly on Dead Space 3 (available today for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC), but it has a few detours back to the first two games in the series.The tech of the Dead Space universe also gets a rare spotlight, including a two-page spread covering the various designs of the signature Plasma Cutter. Titan handed us a few exclusive (and surprisingly gore-less) images from the book, which is also available now. Launch the gallery below and enjoy! Series protagonist Isaac Clarke and his trusty Plasma Cutter on a typical day at work. The Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces, a new addition to the Dead Space universe, are also tangled up in the conspiracy surrounding the necromorphic Markers. Because that's worked out well for everyone else. The waystation of Tau Volantis. Series protagonist Isaac Clarke, investigating a mystery involving centuries-old Sovereign Colonies, picks up the trail here. Also, things try to kill him. Norton, a new character introduced in Dead Space 3, is either the most dangerous or the most suicidal guy around, because he starts putting some moves on Isaac's girlfriend, Ellie. All the vehicles in Dead Space 3 have a grubbier, beaten-down feel to them. This is what happens when developers don't keep their toys clean. GamesBeat 2014 — VentureBeat's sixth annual event on disruption in the video game market — is coming up on Sept 15-16 in San Francisco. Purchase one of the first 50 tickets and save $400!

After watching Leo Manzano take the Olympic silver medal in London and become the seventh American to win the Olympic silver medal at 1,500 meters, I got to wondering about the oldest living American with an Olympic silver medal at 1,500 meters.
I believe that would be Bob McMillen (Oxy) from Helsinki in 1952. As far as I know, Bob is still alive today. I guess he would be about 84 years old. Jim Ryun is 65 years old.
Does anyone out there know where Bob McMillen lives today or how to contact him? If I find anything about him, I will let you know. There might be some people that don't know that Bob made the 1948 Olympic team to London in the steeplechase. He didn't make the final in that Olympics, but he did come back in four years to almost win the gold medal at 1,500 meters. Thanks very much.

Parts 1 * 2 * 3
NASA Research Park (NRP) launched a new Exploration Lecture Series at NASA Ames Research Center, to feature top researchers and academics, who will examine new technologies for human and robot-based exploration, as well as on-going and planned space exploration missions. The first lecture, "The Moon, Mars and Beyond," featured Dr. Andrew Chaikin, author of "A Man on the Moon: The Triumphant Story of the Apollo Space Program." The book was the basis for Tom Hanks' HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon," which won an Emmy for best miniseries in 1998.
Chaikin has authored and edited several popular books about space, including "The New Solar System," "Air and Space: The National Air and Space Museum Story of Flight," "Apollo: An Eyewitness Account," and " Full Moon," a collection of Apollo photography. Chaikin's most recent book, "SPACE: A History of Space Exploration in Photographs," was published in 2002 by Carlton Books.
A graduate of Brown University, Chaikin served as executive editor for space and science at Space.com until 2001 and was editor of Sky and Telescope magazine for many years. Chaikin is currently a commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition program.
During Dr. Chaikin's public lecture, he described the Moon-Mars exploration as 'exciting and tremendously challenging'. His lecture featured a spectacularly symbolic image that he photographed from central Florida during last year's closest approach between Mars and Earth--the nearest such view towards our sister planet seen in recorded history. Using a Celestron Nexstar 11-inch telescope and a webcam, Chaikin captured an occultation of Mars by our own Moon in silhouette. Six months later, the blue-ribbon Presidential Commission studying transits to the Moon, Mars and beyond formed with the same image in mind: How best to hopscotch humans safely to the moon first, followed by the challenging trek to Mars?
Chaikin's perspective is unique since he had unparalleled access to the 23 living astronauts who pioneered the Apollo exploration of the Moon. Chaikin noted that humans left the moon for the last time, thirty-one years ago. While posing the question, What can we learn from the Apollo astronauts about going back to the moon and onwards to Mars in the coming decades?, Chaikin recalled a story told to him by Bob Gilruth, a key mission planner at the Johnson Space Center during Apollo. Gilruth was walking on the beach while a full moon was out. He looked up to the light-grey, shining disk and said, "Someday, they're going to want to go back to the moon, and they'll realize how difficult it is."
What martian scenery will greet the first human visitor? Chaikin noted that "Mars is a geological wonder, with canyons as long as the continental United States. With big volcanoes, sucha as the largest in our solar system--Olympus--which towers three times higher than Mount Everest."
Unlike the moon, Mars has winds. Mars has exposed ice seen glinting with sunlight. Even when viewed in a 1950's telescope, the frozen polar ice caps could distinguish Mars from the moon. These icy poles sometimes contain frozen water but have a core of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice. The matian surface generally is rust-colored though, because it is literrallly covered in rust. Iron oxide is a prevalent soil component.
When first observed during the 1960's Mariner orbital missions to Mars, the red planet has craters and fault rifts like the moon but unlike our lunar neighbor, shows signs of ancient water flowing across its surface.
"River valleys with extensive tributaries," said Chaikin, show that Mars was "once a place where water flowed in vast quantities." Even in more recent geological times, "tiny channels on the walls of craters have been observed from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor, and this water may trickle down embankments below a frost layer."
Attempts to resolve this watery past with Mars' apparent dryness today rely on understanding the planet's climate history, said Chaikin. "The atmosphere is seven parts in a thousand compared to Earth's pressure at sea level, which is too thin for liquid water" to be exposed. The current round of rover missions have taken up the mantle of tracing this watery past, and uncovered the ground-truth to compare to what previously could only be speculated upon.
On the question of life on Mars or one of Jupiter's moons like Europa, Chaikin noted that "life is found in hostile environments ranging from mid-ocean ridges to dry and salty places. Even inside rocks. Life is proving more clever and resilient than previously imagined."
Comparing the Moon and Mars visually on the surface is difficult, said Chaikin, because almost all the Apollo astronauts have noted that images of the lunar surface cannot do justice to seeing the brilliant Sun in complete blackness for yourself.
Referring to the computer renderings of the "brilliant Dan Maas, who created wonderful animations before the Mars Exploration Rovers landed", Chaikin thought the human eye looking on the martian surface would be struck foremost by the red, rusty surface compared to the grey lunar landscape. But both are "desolate places. On the Moon, the brilliant sunlight and black sky make a striking scene. On Mars, the sky is peach-colored, while the light is diffuse with dust, kind of like Los Angeles. The dust floating in the thin martian air scatters enough light to make the sky blue at sunset. The martian sunset is the reverse of what we have here." While the daylight sky on Earth is blue and its sunset pink, the martian daylight is pink and the sunsets are blue.
Catching up Chaikin's unique historical perspective on exploration to the present rover missions, he agreed with the incredible luck that JPL scientists and engineers felt when the first images from the Opportunity rover were viewed. "The rovers bounce haphazardly, the lander unfolds, and its camera takes a look around. What are the chances of bouncing into a crater, one with an outcrop thought to be martian bedrock? This outcrop on the crater rim includes rocks in the same place they were formed, not blasted from some other impact. And like sedimentary rocks, these are layered with their geological history."
The luck of landing in a crater exposing bedrock however was dwarfed by finding water evidence only ten meters from the lander's base station. "The spherical grains, called concretions, are the geological equivalent of hail stones. They speak of being formed in water. Meridiani Planum was once drenched with water, maybe billions of years ago. But we don't have to speculate anymore, Mars has given us ground-truth as evidence of water"--the first such finding on the surface of another world.
While Chaikin marvelled at the luck and resourceful of the robotic rovers, he shared an Apollo anecdote to illustrate what a human explorer might bring to our understanding of Mars. "Nothing can replace the power of the human mind and hand in exploration. These robots are incredible and currently the only way to do exploration. But even the builders of the robots agree that eventually we will have to have humans for the next level of discovery."
To illustrate historically, Chaikin selected the mission of the only trained geologist to the moon. During his packed surface itinerary, Apollo 17's Harrison Schmidt made one happenstance discovery on the moon. The lunar soil is almost exclusively grey and tan, but as Schmidt walked across the dusty surface, he saw that his boot was kicking up alot of the grey soil. Underneath his own bootprint, he saw a layer that was not muted in hues of grey, but instead struck his geologist's eye as unlike anything thought to exist on the moon. What Schmidt's boot revealed was the first and only lunar region that differed from its surrounding strata.
Chaikin described Schmidt's find as not unlike what a human might find on Mars--"the moon revealed a layer of brilliantly orange soil. Where Schmidt's boot had kicked up grey to reveal orange were these microscopic glassy beads, not entirely unlike the spherules or concretions found by the Opportunity rover on Mars." If beads on Mars meant water, beads on the moon meant active volcanoes. "On the moon, the orange soil meant that lunar geology had a time when lava or a fiery fountain sprayed molten material high into the air and formed these orange, glassy beads. Those beads then had been exhumed by an impact or crater."
Could a robot transmit enough high-resolution imagery, kick over enough rocks, or turn over mounds of lunar soil to have mimicked Schmidt and found the first orange soil on the moon? Was a geologist's trained eye a better means of discovery than a roomful of the best terrestrial experts pouring over mission photos?
Chaikin did not complete any judgements on whether a robot or human could best map Mars. In either case, a good camera lens is almost always going to filter the actual objects observed. A glass layer will inevitably come between a raw planetary landscape and our best trained eyes. But Chaikin did offer a philosophical perspective: "There will be no substitute for the sound of a human voice from another planet, one to which we have never been to before."

Fear of customs hassles may be supplanting fear of flying for many attendees and exhibitors at international events held in the U.S. In the security-obsessed post-Sept. 11 climate, incoming travelers and shipments are expected to encounter greater scrutiny.
Most observers predict visitors from western Europe still will have little trouble entering the U.S. "But when you get into the emerging economies, it gets dicey," says Steven Hacker, president of the International Association for Exhibition Management in Dallas. "When you add the issue of terrorism to the mix, it gets even dicier," he adds. He says the Immigration and Naturalization Service in recent years started cracking down on abuses by visa holders who enter the U.S. but fail to return home on time, if ever. Based on their records, the government has targeted countries such as Pakistan, the Philippines, China, India, and certain nations in Africa, Hacker says. Those efforts have taken on added weight since the news that several of the September 11 suicide bombers had overstayed their visas, an embarrassment that the government wants to avoid repeating.
As a result, meeting planners with heavy international audiences will undoubtedly get more requests for help from overseas attendees and exhibitors. That help may take a variety of forms.
Typically, visitors seeking a visa to enter the U.S. need proof of a legitimate reason for being there. "Almost invariably they need some kind of letter of invitation," says Stephen Schuldenfrei, president of Framingham, Mass.-based Exposition Operation Society, and an operations expert. Some consulates require an original letter, and often the visa applicant may wait until late in the game to request it, so meeting organizers should be prepared to act quickly.
That doesn't mean anyone who requests it should get a letter. "You really need to know who you are inviting," Schuldenfrei says. "You need to make sure they're qualified and coming in for a real reason." And if anyone who requested a letter of invitation for a visa application doesn't arrive for the event, a show manager should consider reporting that individual to the authorities, he adds.
The Radiological Society of North America's annual scientific assembly, like many medical meetings, attracts a great deal of interest from outside the U.S. About a quarter of the professionals who attend the Chicago event each November hail from overseas. For those who run into visa snafus, the society routinely retains the services of a consultant who intervenes with local consulates.
Steve Drew, assistant executive director of the scientific assembly and informatics, didn't notice an inordinate number of attendees seeking the consultant's help for the November 2001 meeting. Several exhibitors reportedly did have trouble entering the U.S., however, he says.
While some exhibitors may have been unable to attend the Radiological Society's annual meeting, their booths and materials made it, thanks to a customs agency that helps them navigate shipping rules. "From what we have seen, there is more trouble with people than with materials," observes Douglas Ducate, president and CEO of the Center for Exhibition Industry Research in Chicago. He explains that international trade fare bonds streamline shipping of materials for exhibits and help exhibitors skirt inspections at points of entry. So far, he says, getting shipments to the U.S. hasn't posed a problem.
Schuldenfrei also doesn't expect exhibits to pose a huge customs problem. "Typically, they are sent from known exhibit houses or major companies," he says. "There might be a little more inspection, it might take another day, but I haven't heard anyone say yet that someone couldn't get into a show because their stuff got tied up in customs."
The shipping process is likely to grow thornier, though. The Federal Aviation Administration and the airlines are increasing security measures that are likely to affect international cargo shipments, according to Richard McCrady, Sr., president of Minneapolis-based CF AirFreight. He expects fewer routes, more elaborate security steps, additional requirements such as x-rays and decompression of packages, and other measures that will increase shipping times and demands on the shipper.
"Customers will have to provide more detail about their products when shipping freight," McCrady says. He says the new procedures will likely increase security and insurance surcharges.
International exhibitions with a substantial international component should consider designating staff members or customs experts to help smooth the way for companies. "All exhibitors' needs are different," Hacker explains. "If you want to grow internationally, you'd better have some people here to assist people coming in with information well in advance."

Facebook Announces Its Own App Store for Android and iOS
Published: May 12, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Facebook seems to be looking for ways to beef up its image by offering itself not only as a social network to consumers but an Apps haven for them as well.
According to a report, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says mobile apps are Facebook's top priority, hence the creation of the Facebook App Store, also known as its App Center.
Facebook App Center is a new place for people to find social apps, according to Facebook.
The App Center is designed to grow mobile apps that use Facebook whether they're on Android, iOS or the mobile web. From the mobile App Center, users can browse apps that are compatible with their device, and if a mobile app requires installation, they will be sent to download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Facebook appears to be making most of its money on Web ads that are not running on portable platforms like tablets or smartphones, and creating their own App Center with some paid apps on it. The company is looking to capitalize on an app's popularity with consumers to possibly make additional revenues, so to say.
The social networking giant also appears to be making a pitch to app developers to attract them to use the new Facebook App Center and showcase and sell their apps. With that being said, is Facebook now looking to compete and challenge Apple's App Store and Google's Google Play for the apps domination? I guess we'll all soon find out.

It was a pleasure spending the time reading this article with a hot cup of coffee.
I enjoyed reading the different views and tastes of the Christmas tree from many countries.
When I was younger than now and being at my parents home, I remember to have a Christmas tree close to the main window to be seen from the street.
We, as Christians, have never put it to claim to be the tallest, or the most beautiful. For us, it was and still is a symbol of celebration.
For me and for my family, the nativity scene and of course the tree, will remain the centrepiece of Christmas festivities for years to come.
I wish you a happy new year 2013...
Shame you forgot to mention the Gerbrandytower Christmas tree in IJsselstein, the Netherlands. Though not a tree in the traditional sense, it does beat out the Mexicans by a factor of 3.
Difficult to photograph such trees in a way that recreates the atmosphere around them. The Galeries Lafayette Christmas tree looks much better in situ, especially when observed from one of the upper floors of the store.
Public Christmas trees. Symbols of celebration. Privately public. A much forgotten aspect of the Christmas tree is the after Christmas celebrations of getting rid of the trees. Where I am in Holland the trees are collected and burnt on the beach in an evening of festivity.
634m tall Tokyo Sky Tree was lit up in a special 'Christmas Illumination' and claimed to be the World's tallest Christmas Tree. Having no star at the top probably disqualifies it as a Christmas Tree, but it is nevertherless quite impressive:
(Article is in Japanese, please just click on the photos)
Rio de Janeiro tree displayed here is fotoshop and fake. Here is a better view.
Actually, after further researched it seems the image is correct. The impression I have is that the tree has different features that change from time to time and the one on display here doesn't look good as a picture. It does look odd.
My apologies to the editor and to the readers.
Sydney got the prettiest one.
The one from London is tall but looks withered and naked.
The problem with many public trees it seems to me is they don't look like trees. The lights and decorations should be like miraculous winter fruit. Apples complement the tree they are growing on, transforming it into a symbol of fecundity. And so should Christmas decorations.
Merry Christmas to you all.
The nuttiest Christmas Tree Theme is the Upside-Down Christmas Tree,
perhaps an appropriate symbol in a topsy turvy economy.
It is a Christmas tree hung upside-down from the ceiling.
It provides more space under the tree for large bulky gifts.
For those with a bad back, there is a table underneath that puts gifts at hand height.
For a small apartment, even a large tree has a footprint of a few centimeters.
The needles stay moist even without water due to the effect of gravity drainage.
More higher bough space for large ornaments on the top.
Toddlers cannot reach the fragile ornaments.
A chance for admirers to get closer and under the tree.
It looks like a green explosion of colors and lights.
Like a nature chandelier.
It is unnatural--but so is cutting down a tree and placing it in your living room.
And as you imagine it is striking, causing more double takes than an upside-down car on your street.
Please see photos of the Up-Sidedown Tree --This is no joke.
Had a hanging Christmas tree (upside down) for years. Hanging from a sturdy hook in our living room.
Nothing special. Just Christmas.

Ziff Davis Media Sells 1UP Digital Assets to UGO Entertainment, a Division of Hearst Corporation
This sucks so much. I've read EGM since issue #100 (last one was #236) in November 2007. I bought every issue until getting a subscription a couple years ago. That subscription was set to run through October 2010. I wonder if there will be a refund (doubtful) or a replacement (something ****ty).Ziff Davis Media Sells 1UP Digital Assets to UGO Entertainment, a Division of Hearst Corporation
Sale Allows Ziff Davis Media to Focus Solely on its Core PCMag Digital Network Business
Final Print Edition of EGM to be Distributed in January 09
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ziff Davis Media, one of the nations leading technology media businesses, announced today the sale of the 1UP Digital Network, including 1UP.com, MyCheats.com, GameVideos.com and GameTab.com to UGO Entertainment, a division of Hearst Corporation
Ziff Davis Medias EGM Magazine will be discontinued. The January 09 issue will be the final printed issue.
We believe this is a smart transaction for Ziff Davis Media that places these market leading assets and teams in a great environment poised for further success. The transaction allows us to pay down debt and shift our full focus to our core PCMag Digital Network business. We thank our 1UP team members for their contributions and wish them the best of success into the future, said Ziff Davis Media CEO Jason Young.
Since we started UGO 11 years ago, we have served the gamer community and built a world-class online publishing platform, said J Moses, CEO of UGO Entertainment. The acquisition of 1UP, with its authentic voice, tenured editorial personalities and bustling user community, allows us to expand our base of quality content and represents a major step forward in UGOs mission to become the leader in the games space.
Ziff Davis Media recently announced the launch of the PCMag Digital Network reflecting a move to a 100% digital position for its flagship brand. The PCMag Digital Network leverages its quality content and audience to offer marketers a unique combination of solutions that enable strong brand positioning, while driving measurable response results. More announcements about the future growth and expansion of The Network will be issued in the coming months.
GCA Savvian Advisors acted as exclusive financial advisor to Ziff Davis Media on the transaction.
This is a sad day for me. While anyone can get the news and reviews online, I still enjoyed reading EGM the day I received it each and every month. I was fortunate enough to meet the crew at E3 2005, and all of them were class acts. I hope they start a new site, or something to that effect.
