IBM, Samsung, others team up on next-gen chips
IBM, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, and others are teaming up on the development of next-generation chip technology for small, low-power devices with one wary eye on Intel, which is expediting its move to chips with smaller geometries.
IBM and its semiconductor technology alliance partners are announcing the availability of 28-nanometer (nm) chip technology, a little more than a generation beyond the 45nm technologies currently used by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices in their latest chips.
The first products using chips based on this technology are expected in the second half of 2010, an IBM spokesman said. Devices will include smartphones and … Read more

Dachshund-I would like for some person to tell me all about the Dachshund. I think it is the kind of dog I want. I see a photo of a German Dachshund. Are there other breeds besides the German?
The photo which you mention is a good one, but is rather misleading as it does not show the build of the Dachshund. This dog has a long body and extremely short legs, and is not good for chasing game. They are, however, excellent trailers and make fine dogs for skunk hunting. The Dachshund is of German origin and the name is a German one, meaning "badger dog," as they are used for hunting the European badger. Our book "hunting dogs' gives a complete description of this as well as all other breeds used for the chase.

In today's Brazos Valley Physicians Organization Journals and Medicine report Dr. Nancy Leslie talks about traumatic brain injury.
Most people when they are asked will report having had a concussion at some point in their life. Living here in Bryan / College Station sports is such a major part of this community. Sports is one of the common ways people experience concussions or even more serious brain injuries. When we do neurocognitive rehabilitation, what we are trying to do is give the brain specific exercises to regain those skills. So if we determine that someone is thinking slowly, they are accurate, but their speed is so slow, that it impairs everything they are doing. We then we use different exercises, cognitive exercises, to increase the speed and efficiency of their thinking. Fortunately with people with brain injuries they recover from month to month to year to year.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We loved all of the options Wedding Paper Divas provided. Once we were ready to select the one we wanted and customized our pictures, we were sent a PDF proof. WPD offered a few suggestions which really helped with layout. I also love that they told us one of the pictures we picked may be too low quality to print so we may want to pick another one. I'm just so happy that they took the time to let us know rather then doing the easy thing and sending us something they knew would not look good. Our final product is awesome and it came about a week earlier than expected."
"I customized my order color for free. I chose the cheapest shipping option and the order came a week earlier than I was told it would arrive. The designer did a great job. I love my save the dates! Only thing that came as a surprise was the size of the postcard. It was smaller than anticipated, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the dimensions."
"My fiancée & I ordered these as cards to include our travel details on the back. Our family & friends loved it! They don't have very many color schemes/combinations available but otherwise it's a great buy."
"Every thing was absolutely perfect about this save the date! I loved the font and the color options. All of our friends and family adored the save the date!"
"I received my Save the Dates yesterday, and they were all absolutely perfect. They arrived on time and in a beautifully presented stationary box, carefully packaged and each one of them was completely faultless, not a single speck or smudge. The designers worked with me and got every detail just how I wanted it, and as a result I now have a simple and sophisticated card to send out to my guests. They perfectly set the tone for an elegant wedding. I strongly recommend this design for brides that want a uniquely simple and classy design and aren't wanting to be tied to set themes, colours and motifs."

Summary of The Rogue Crew Summary of The Rogue Crew Reviews for The Rogue Crew An Excerpt from The Rogue Crew
Redwall Abbey has never seen a creature more evil or more hideous than Razzid Wearat. Captain of the Greenshroud, a ship with wheels that can sail through water as well as the forest, this beast is a terror of both land and sea, traveling Mossflower Country, killing nearly everything-and everyone- in his path. And his goal? To conquer Redwall Abbey.
From Salamandastron to the High North Coast, the brave hares of the Long Patrol team up with the fearless sea otters of the Rogue Crew to form a pack so tough, so rough, only they can defend the abbey and defeat Razzid Wearat once and for all.

Poor Customer Service – When walking in, and signing in, it all seems nice and ok. Wait time to see the doctor was mininal. In fact the doctor was very nice, and helpful, especially when answering questions. Picking out eyeglasses was just ok. Their selection is just ok. They told me it would take 10 days to get my eyeglasses back. WRONG! I have been waiting 3 WEEKS! And they still don't know when they will be in. I have called, and they told me they would check on the status. No return phone calls. They never return phone calls. In the mean time they gave me a trial pair of contacts, and told me they were only good for 2 weeks. They wouldn't write my contact prescription until I tried them, and told me come back when I picked up my glasses in 10 days. It's been 3 weeks. I called to try to a new pair of trial contacts. No return phone call. Service is terrible. Unfortuntely I have already paid for the glasses, so I will just have to wait it out. But I will not be going back.
Plus they have no parking, at all. Losy place!!
3 year customer – I HAVE BEEN GOING TO FASHION OPTIQUE FOR THREE YEARS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM. IN FACT, THEY WERE THE ONES WHO INFORMED ME THAT I HAD BEEN OVER-PRESCRIBED ON A PAIR OF GLASSES THAT WERE GIVING ME HEADACHES FROM ANOTHER OPTICIAN ON CHAMBLEE-DUNWOODY ROAD. I WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE THEM AS LONG AS I CONTINUE TO WORK DOWNTOWN.
great customer service – I tried this place based on the recommendation of co-workers. I recieved very good treatment. The doctor was really nice and spent her time discussing the health of my eyes and options for glasses and contacts. The staff was also courteous and nice. They were very helpful in selecting my glasses and explaining my insurance to me. I have recommended this establishment to several people in my office who have also had similar pleasant experiences. I would highly recommnend that you give them a call and try it out! You will not be disappointed.
A sad story of incompetence, and lack of service... – They got my perscription wrong, they made promises that were not kept, there was no follow-up, there was no "extra service" to try an make amends for their mistake. The people are nice, but the service was terrible -- it's a shame, one tries to keep the business in the community, and this is what happens. I'll never go here again.

Can a computer program reproduce everything that happens inside a living cell?
Brian Hayes
The computations performed in the transcription module are quite different from those of the metabolic subunit. Instead of linear programming, we have discrete events governed by probabilities.
Transcription of a gene begins when a molecule of the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a chromosomal site called a promoter. The enzyme then ratchets along the double helix, producing a strand of messenger RNA whose sequence is complementary to that of one DNA strand. When the transcript is complete, the polymerase drops off the double helix and releases the RNA. Each step in this process requires a variety of other molecules—initiation factors, elongation factors, termination factors, energy donors—as well as a supply of nucleotides to be incorporated into the growing RNA strand.
In the WholeCell system, each RNA polymerase molecule is an individual object with four possible states: actively transcribing, bound to a promoter region, bound to DNA elsewhere and unbound. Transitions between the states are random events with probabilities calculated to match the experimentally observed distribution. Also, various promoter sites differ in their affinity for RNA polymerase, so the probability of binding is higher in some places than others.
Because of probabilistic events like these, the WholeCell model has an element of nondeterminism. Every run can be expected to produce somewhat different results, even with the same initial conditions and environment. But of course fluctuations and chance events also have a role in real biology; even perfect clones will not follow exactly the same trajectory through life.
Reading the source code of the transcription module gives some vivid glimpses of the subtleties that a wary modeler must keep in mind. Suppose a roll of the digital dice dictates that a certain RNA polymerase molecule is to bind to a promoter site. What happens if all the promoter sites are already occupied? What happens if two polymerase molecules try to grab the same promoter site at the same time? What if two transcription enzymes collide as they move along the DNA? Nature seems to handle such conflicts without having to think about them, but the modeler has to think of everything.
Collisions between enzymes scuttling along the chromosome are not rare events. Results of the WholeCell simulation suggest they happen about once per second, or perhaps 30,000 times in the course of a full cell cycle. The model is therefore equipped with rules to decide who has the right of way.

Mr. Phillips
A Novel
John Lanchester - Author
Mr. Phillips wakes on a summer's Monday morning in his modest, nearly mortgage-free house, ready to face another ordinary working day. Except this day is far from ordinary, for on the previous Friday, Mr. Phillips was summarily sacked. Unable to deal with this disaster--unable even to tell his own wife--Mr. Phillips rises at his usual hour and prepares himself for the job he no longer has. As he wanders the streets of London, what he sees triggers memories. Gradually a picture develops of a decent man who, only days before, knew exactly who and what he was--husband, home-owner, father, valued employee--and on this day wonders who and what he can become.Chapter One
Using the bits and pieces of one man's past, John Lanchester has drawn a fully dimensional life and, in the process, made in Mr. Phillips an Everyman for our times.
At night, Mr. Phillips lies beside his wife and dreams about other women.
Not all of the dreams are about sex. Not all the women are real. There are dreams in which composite girls, no one he knows, look on while Mr. Phillips goes about his dream-business of worrying about things, or looking for things, or feeling obscurely guilty about things. There is a dream he has been having since he was ten years old, in which he saves a whole group of strange women from certain disaster by diverting a runaway train or safely landing an aeroplane or encouraging them to hang on to the roof fittings on a tilting ship until just the right moment. He has even had a couple of dreams which involve him doing something vague but heroic in relation to the Channel Tunnel.
In the aftermath of these feats he is becomingly casual, almost dismissive. To camera crews and the world's press he explains that it is no big deal; but the women in the dream know that that isn't true.
Mr. Phillips has anxious dreams about meeting the Queen and being awarded an honour, but not being able to remember what it is for. He has dreams about being told off by Mrs Thatcher. He has dreams about meeting his mother and not being sure whether they are in Australia (where, in real life, she lives, with Mr. Phillips's sister), or London (where, in real life, he lives), or somewhere else. He once had a dream about Indira Gandhi. None of these dreams was about sex. He never told his wife about them. What good could come of it?
As for the sex dreams, he never told her about them either. What good, etc., only more so.
Mr. Phillips grades them from one to ten. A one out of ten is quite mild. For instance, he often dreams about Christine Wilson, his next-door neighbour but two when he was growing up in Wandsworth. At the age of twelve she was half a notch posher than most of the children in the street; she had brown hair worn in plaits and a naughty streak well hidden from grown-ups. Christine would often instigate uproar, though she was never blamed for causing it. Mr. Phillips had gone from hardly noticing her to being horribly, drowningly in love with her in the course of a single Saturday. They had spent that day crawling around in the foundations of a new office building that was going up on land that had lain empty since a stray V-2 had cleared it thirteen years before. They played hide-and-seek among the concrete mixers, ducking and scrabbling through partially built walls. When an adult shouted at them they ran home. As he lay in bed that night Mr Phillips found that he was very much in love.
In the dream, he and Christine are at school together, which in real life they never were. Mr. Phillips sits next to her at a scratched wooden double desk which is covered in archaeological layers of graffiti. They are solving, under test conditions, a series of simple algebraic equations: a + b = x; if a = 2 and x = 5, what is b? He has an erection so strong that he is worried his fly is going to pop open. The end of the lesson is approaching and he is going to have to stand up and everyone is going to see his cock. The unfair thing is that he doesn't feel sexually aroused, he has the erection only because he's got caught up inside his underpants. In fact his penis is trapped outside the entrance to his knickers and is pinned vertically upwards. But no one will believe that. He wouldn't believe it in their shoes. In the dream he starts to blush, feeling the blood rush upwards and his face become lava hot, electric-fire hot. Then he wakes up. That is a one out of ten.
By three out of ten, the sex component is more definite. Mr. Phillips is kissing his secretary, Karen, on the cheek while the telephone rings. He knows that he should pick up the receiver, but Karen's eyes are closed and she looks so happy that he doesn't want to stop. He has such a good close-up view of the tiny hairs on the side of her neck that when he stops kissing her he says, "You'll have to start shaving there soon." She reaches down and puts a hand on his cock. Mr. Monroe, the Aberdonian colleague with whom he shares an office and Karen's services, looks on approvingly. Then he wakes up.
A five-out-of-ten sex dream might involve what used to be called "heavy petting," or some form of explicit display. One of the most common of these dreams involves the television personality Clarissa Colingford. She has hair that is whitish blond and what would once have been called "a lovely figure" and eyes that are the same colour as the middle of a Mars bar. Mr. Phillips is hiding in her cupboard, terrified and excited, as he watches her masturbate, covered only by a single thin cotton sheet. That is actually one of the most exciting of his dreams, but it scores only five since Mr. Phillips's system is to grade the dreams not on how stimulating they are but on the explicitness of their sex content.
At seven out of ten, the sex component is such that it becomes hard to meet the eye of the woman in the dream, the next time he meets her in real life. There is, for instance, something embarrassing or delirious about bumping into Janet-secretary to his boss Mr. Mill, the incompetent head of the accountancy department-as she walks down the corridor with two plain digestive biscuits balanced on the saucer of a cup of tea, for all the world as if she had not, the night before, been eagerly responding to Mr. Phillips's frightened but keen request to be sodomised with a nine-inch rubber penis.
It can't just be him, Mr. Phillips feels. Office life is an erotic conspiracy. Everybody in offices thinks about sex all the time-that's exactly what they do. If the air at Wilkins and Co. were like one of those swimming pools which change colour when someone pees in them, so that the air would be dyed blue whenever anyone looked on their colleagues with lust, or need, or at the very least sexual speculation, then the atmosphere would be as clogged and dense as a London pea-souper. Does he stalk rampant through the dreams of co-workers, a vivid principle of priapism, so that the working day carries the lurid after-tinge of the night before? Perhaps Karen herself has beguiled an idle moment by speculating as to what it would be like with Mr. Phillips. After all, she's only human. People fall in love with their secretaries all the time, and vice versa-not least because most men are at their most attractive when at work, their attention directed outside themselves, with chores to perform and decisions to exercise, all unlike the sulking, shifty tyrants of the domestic stage, wanting everything their own way and locked in a battle to the death to get it.
It goes without saying that people use offices for sex all the time too. It's a rare photocopier that hasn't been used to take a picture of somebody's bum. It's a very unusual desk that has never had people fucking on it. In an important sense all this is what offices are for. Mr. Phillips has even done it on a desk himself once, when he was working at Grimshaw's, his first employer. His girlfriend Sharon Mitchell came to the office late to collect him on the way to a film, a Western with James Stewart in it. This was in the days before security guards and after-hours subcontracted office cleaners. They had done it on Mr. Phillips's very own desk, indeed on his very own ink blotter. Sharon was the first girl Mr. Phillips did it with who was on the pill; she chucked him for a musician. A sixties memory.
One thing that all the dreams have in common is that Mr. Phillips never actually manages to have sex in them. Even in the ten-out-of-ten dreams, Mr. Phillips never gets it wet. He looks and sees and feels and kisses, he plots and schemes and gets women to agree to have sex with him, and in some versions they even pursue him to ask for it ("begging for it," "gagging for it"), but he never, in the dreams, actually puts his penis inside another person, not even in the homosexual dreams which come along every now and then, with their own agenda, as if trying to make a point.
This morning, Mr. Phillips has just woken from a seven-out-of-ten dream in which he was trying to arrange to have sex with Miss Pettifer, his younger son Thomas's form teacher at St. Francis Xavier's. She is in her early fifties and therefore around the same age as Mr. Phillips. In real life, he hasn't been conscious of being even vaguely attracted to her-but when he wakes after the dream, he realises that isn't the whole story. The fact that she is, say, twenty pounds overweight he feels in part of himself as a liberation, as if, in throwing off one set of worries about being sensible and watching your weight, other worries might be thrown off too, so that her half-double chin and wildly blossoming hips, all the more visible because her clothes are a third of a size too small, hold a promise: With me, you can do anything you want.
This isn't the first time he has dreamt about Miss Pettifer. The last time it happened he made an effort to talk to her at the next PTA meeting, as a way of getting the dream out of his system. When they shook hands, in the tobacco-stained staff room which smelt of instant coffee, he had the feeling that there was something in her eyes beyond the usual struggle to remember who this particular parent was. Perhaps she was aware that she had spent at least part of one night trying to clear a space among the desks or find a cupboard where he could fuck her standing up among brooms and brushes and ironing boards. (That is a detail from the dream that had to be wrong-why would the school have ironing boards in the cupboard?) But they were constantly interrupted: people came in and out, children playing cricket in the corridors kept bursting in to ask Mr. Phillips if he would be their umpire, and once Martin, Mr. Phillips's elder son, came knocking on the door of the cubicle in the bathroom just as Miss Pettifer had undone Mr. Phillips's fly and extracted his penis.

This "apartment" was really a very lovely townhouse, complete with enclosed garden. It was clean, comfortable, extremely quiet, adorably decorated, and well appointed. We loved every minute we stayed there, and we were there during the winter, when it rained constantly! During sunnier months, it would be just fabulous. It was somewhat outside the Old Town of Florence, but taking the bus into town was easy. And to top it all, the host was charming.

I'm a little early but I'm going wish you all a Happy New Year now as it is increasingly likely I won't make it past 9pm.
You might have seen on Twitter that I have been poorly sick. What started as a cold about a week before Christmas has developed into sinusitis AND bronchitis complete with blocked ears and raging headaches. FUN!
So I'm not feeling entirely festive or completely with it, hence the blog has been a little abandoned over the past few weeks but as soon as I am feeling better I'll get back on it I promise. I have a couple of new recipes to blog, and of course there is the obligatory resolutions post where I'll look back and scoff at last years promises.
I'm also going to be changing a few things on the blog today including updating my blogroll so if you have a blog that I've perhaps not seen, leave me a comment, and don't forget to check out my new baby blog (not literally a blog about babies....) where I will be blogging small snippets about random things I love from time to time, Mrs M Hearts.
For now, I hope you had a great 2010, have a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish you all the best possible 2011!
love & kisses
Mrs M x

Locals recall pivotal event in history of world affairs
By Max Hrenda
Although 71 years have passed since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor pushed the United States into World War II, many people still retain vivid memories of the day in December of 1941 that President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared would live in infamy.
Elizabethton resident Ray Hill was 20 years old and in the middle of his senior year of high school in Cadillac, Mich., during the Pearl Harbor attack; Dean Batchelder, who also lives in Elizabethton, was 11 years old and living on a dairy farm south of Menomonie, Wis.; and Carter County resident Jo Voigt was only two years old and living with her family on Staten Island, N.Y.
Although Voigt does not have any real memories of the announcement of the attack to American citizens, she does remember quite vividly an old family movie that included a newspaper bearing the headline, "Japs Bomb Pearl Harbor."
Batchelder, on the other hand, clearly remembers the announcement of the attack coming over the radio. He said that his most profound memory of that time was the sense of nationalism that seemed to sweep across the entire nation after the attack.
"In my lifetime, I have never seen the patriotism and the spirit of the people that came forward after the Japanese attack," Batchelder said. "It was like the whole nation was mobilized."

Another hand. Pretty sure I swapped from using one eye primarily to using the other partway through, which was a mistake with a subject as close as my hand. Should choose a viewpoint from the begining and stay consistent.
Wow, it's been a long time. Still getting better bro! Great too see your still smashing out heaps of studies.
Glad to hear about the improvement! Clearly I need to look back at what I've done
Another hand.
I like the expressions on your characters. Technically you've got some ways to go, but the overall feel and the mood of your paintings are fantastic. You'll make a great concept artist.
Sexy Drawings | Sexy Statues | Sexy Art
3D Modeling
Returning to an old character design.
A bunch of practice faces. Need to get back into more observational drawing, seems like. Particularly at the more extreme angles.
A quick walk cycle, in silhouette and with more structure. Figuring out some 2D character animation for a video game. Spent most of my time today figuring out the programming.
Starting to figure out the walk cycle. Though actually being able to see the animation would be nice. Time to find a program that does that - Photoshop doesn't seem to.
Figured out how to animate in Photoshop. Still not the best option - I managed to crash it twice and timing on the gif it exported wasn't what I'd used. Still, here it is.
Another try, just the legs. Still using photoshop.
Nice legs!
Trying to figure out how a character moves. In a more static way.
Action/combat sketches.
Portrait of a friend.
Another quick hand.
Playing with superheros a bit.
More of the same.
More action poses.
Working on character interactions, particularly combat.
More of the same.
And more. Tried starting with the placement of the feet in perspective for the first figure to aid in placement of the second. Seems like there's something to it...
Still working on combat interactions.
This is the most bizzare SB I have ever seen. I just dont see what you are learning.
It is fairly random, yeah. Something more directed is a good idea. I'll have to see about coming up with a sort of lesson plan.
That said, practice is practice, and I intend to keep it up.
More hands:
Still random. Working on figures interacting (with perspective grid for placement help, though I turned that layer off) and hands.
Skimmed through all of your sketchbook and really enjoyed your strong graphic style. You look like a natural comic book artists to me. If I had one small crit it would be to take a look at the teachings of Glenn Vilippu, Michael Hampton and Mike Matessi. All of these learned teachers have their own way of explaining how to use techniques to better draw human figures from imagination. Lotsa sustained effort in your SB man, Good goin and keep postin.
What's taters precious? Po - tay - toes!
Awesome! I'll have to look those three up. Again, in the case of Vilippu.
The beginnings of a superhero design:
Playing more with superhero designs.
I second the Michael Hampton suggestion, I just got it and it's awesome.
Don't mind the doubters, your sketchbook has always given me some juice to keep going
Keep up the great work!
Hampton is definitely on my list. The quick glance at his stuff looks pretty interesting.
Always great to hear that I'm inspiring people

He currently spends about five months of the year on and off in France where his son lives, and the rest of the time is split between Africa, Papua New Guinea, the odd travel show and discovering new places.
Several times a year Christopher leads trips amazing value-for-money safaris himself, looking for desert elephants in Namibia, spending a week walking and sleeping under the Zululand stars in a Big Five national park, exploring the rugged tracks and wilds of Botswana, having a bit of lodge luxury in Zambia, or mixing the remote but wildlife abundant landscapes of southern Tanzania with the culture and beaches of Zanzibar, happily sharing his photographic knowledge if that floats your boat. Speaking of boats, he also runs underwater photography workshops three times a year in Zanzibar, the Red Sea, and Papua New Guinea. The safari trips Christopher guides, as well as some off-the shelf fully inclusive trips can also be found on www.safaribookings.com.

Dive into the Indian Ocean with giant mantas and whale sharks in Mozambique, on the coral covered walls of Pemba island, Zanzibar, come face to face with tiger sharks, blacktips, and ragged-tooth sharks in South Africa or swim and dive with huge schools of sardines and their predators during the annual Sardine Run or trek around the Drakensberg.
Admire the spectacle that is the wildebeest migration across the Serengeti, or the huge herds of elephants in Tarangire, Selous or Ruaha National Parks. Scale Mt. Meru or Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.Cross the Kalahari or Namib deserts, meet the Himba and San peoples, or venture far into the Okavango Delta by boat, encountering elephants, hippos, and crocs, and camping on remote islands before driving through Moremi, Chobe and Savuti, or the Central Kalahari.
Immerse yourself in the most bio-diverse reefs in the world in in West Papua, whilst giant and reef mantas swim overhead, visit remote tribes in the Baliem Valley, see the whale shark aggregations in Cendarwasih Bay,or get a unique mix of sharks, rays and dragons in Komodo.
Dive with whale sharks, hammerhead, Galapagos, and white-tip reef sharks, sea lions, mantas and other rays, marine iguanas and tons of turtles, and walk amongst giant turtles, indegenous plants and birds and weird and wonderful reptiles that inspired Darwin in the Galapagos.
In Papua New Guinea, be prepared to be simply stunned by the vast array and abundance of cultures, corals, and fish, WWII plane wrecks, outrigger safaris to remote coastal villages, incomparable cultural festivals, and Sepik River expeditions to the last frontier of cultural tourism. Walk the revered Kokoda Trail in the footsteps of Aussie Diggers, or conquer Mt Wilhelm's 4509-metre summit.
For the most intimate shark encounters you will ever get, try the Bahamas for an unforgettable experience, diving with tiger, lemon, Caribbean reef, hammerhead, nurse, and, and snorkelling and free diving with dolphins. Or just take in some leisurely diving from one of the beautiful beach resorts on the "out islands".
Swim with humpack whales or dive Grand Turk Wall or French Cay and West Sand Spit in the Turks and Caicos, enjoy the freedom of shore diving on Bonaire's fishy and colourful reefs or dive Klein Bonaire from day boats, or mix it up in Dominica with some stunning hikes and colourful dives in great viz.
Get mellow with mantas in the Maldives, or wallow with a whale shark here or in the Philippines, where there is also excellent diversity from the macro heaven of Anilao to the wide-angle joys of Apo Island and Danjugan Island Marine and Wildlife Sanctuary.
At the more remote destinations we work with, we have become involved with helping out communities in one form or another, beyond helping create stable employment for locals. We sponsor people through college, pay for school fees and educational material, find volunteer teachers, sponsor a village football team (who now have boots to play in) and in Zanzibar and Tanzania, we have built a website to promote a community campsite in Namibia, we are raising money for a Maternity Home and a women's empowerment project in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (www.bartlettimages.com/charity and Money for Honey), and support marine conservation charities like Bite-Back, the Marine Megafauna Foundation, Sea Sense, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. We also are working on assisting grass-roots projects in Papua New Guinea.

Does the FDA think people don't know how to order seconds? I was in restaurant the other day and ordered a small drink. I was told that they don't offer a small drink, only medium and large. I asked how they can have a medium if they only have two sizes. The cashier looked dumbfounded and offered no explanation. I asked why they didn't offer a small, and they said no one ever ordered small drinks, only medium and large, so they quit buying that size cup.
Most restaurants offer small portions, but people choose to order the larger offering. In steps the FDA to tell us that we shouldn't be allowed to do that, and that the have to take away our freedom of choice for the good of the nation. I'll say no more, since this isn't the Debate Team section. It's food for thought, though. just don't gorge youself on it, bad for the brain.

Injured Bald Eagle released
After months of rehabilitation an American Bald ...
Picayune Strand State Forest
2121 52nd Ave SE, Naples, FL
NAPLES — An American bald eagle on the verge of death in February is back in the skies above Picayune Strand State Park.
Officials from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey and the Florida Division of Forestry released an adult male bald eagle Tuesday afternoon to end the bird's two-month rehabilitation from flight feather damage.
On Feb. 10, forest ranger Anthony Curella and park ranger Mike Murnhan discovered the eagle while taking inventory of the state park's tree growth. The pair chased down and captured the eagle after observing that it was unable to fly and needed veterinary attention.
"It was dying of dehydration. It wasn't able to fly or get away from anything, nor could it eat. It would have been dead within another day or so," Curella said.
At the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland, north of Orlando, the eagle received a procedure called imping to repair its flight features as well as flight re-conditioning.
Audubon EagleWatch coordinator Lynda White said that after a month, the bald eagle was flying within the center's 100-foot cage and it became apparent to them that he was ready to be released into the wild.
Around 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Naples resident Geraldine Martin had the honor of physically releasing the raptor into a clearing near Everglades Boulevard and the Interstate 75 overpass.
Martin is a major donor to the Audubon of Florida.
"I am quite overwhelmed and honored," said Martin.
Officials from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey said the eagle is the 390th successful rehabilitation that the program has released into the wild.

Science Applications International Corp. has agreed to pay $500 million in restitution and penalties for its role in the massive CityTime payroll project scandal, the New York Daily News reports today.
The agreement between SAIC and federal prosecutors was announced Wednesday morning, with the company admitting that it "defrauded the city into significantly overpaying for CityTime."
Under the deal, the city will receive more than $370 million in restitution and another $130 million in penalties, the Daily News reported.
In a court filing cited by the newspaper, SAIC acknowledged that it "failed to take actions that might have detected, disrupted or curtailed the charged conspiracies, allowing the city to be victimized repeatedly and systematically for more than seven years."

Were the recent Navy Seal Deaths Suicide from PTSD?
In the news recently, we learned that 2 former Navy Seals were found on the Maersk Alabama dead from apparent overdoses. The 2 men were working as security guards on the same ship that gained world-wide attention when Somali pirates hijacked it. Were their deaths from suicide and PTSD? It's a questions that comes up because it's the same ship that was featured in the movie Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks. It's a devastating tragedy for their families no matter what happened or what led them to that particular place.
Could it have been PTSD?
Because of the high rates of suicide in our veterans, many of us are more and more alarmed at the price many of our servicemen and women are paying for the rest of us. Estimates are that Veterans are twice as likely to commit suicide as people who haven't been in the military. For younger vets, the number of deployments was a factor as well as where they were sent. I have friends and family in the military and have heard from other clinicians who care for vets. It all adds up to a very big issue.
Special Forces
One of my friends is a former Navy Seal, who said that he felt that it was even harder for special forces to admit that they were struggling, because they were supposed to be the "elite." All the recognition and special forces being the answer to so many problems that they didn't want to admit to their own emotional scars with the tasks they were assigned. [...]

We tried it: Color.Bug by Kevin Murphy
Hair trend fanatics can tell you that with the rise of super model Charlotte Free, has come the return of bright, bold hair color! But for those not willing to make the permanent commitment to the trend, or for those struggling to maintain their salon-created hue styling genius Kevin Murphy has created Color.Bug; the here today wash-out tomorrow color treatment we couldn't wait to try out.
First, the facts:
Color.Bug retails for around $30 and can be found at high end salons in the SF Bay Area, such as this one; or online via a myriad of international sites.
Color.Bug is meant to be temporary washout-able color, that means it's water soluble, and probably should not be used before a trip to the beach or a swim party.
Color.Bug is not supposed stain skin or clothes, but if you sleep on all white sheets, pillows, and duvets like I do, be smart. We recommend you wash it out before you go to bed just in case!
Now, the fun
These things are BRIGHT. I first saw it tested on Annette, the assistant stylist at my favorite San Francisco Salon, Stephen Saiz. The color was super noticeable even on her very-dark hair. But on very blonde hair like my own, it's downright day-glow.
Color.Bug is super easy to use. With a chalk-like texture , Color.Bug can be "drawn" right on the hair in a quick swipe; so much better than messy creams or gloppy hair-mascaras.
Hairspray extends the life of Color.Bug. With a very light spritz of finishing spray over the area where I applied the color bug lasted overnight, and through the following day. (see note above, I slept on a towel to prevent color transferring to bedding!)
Color.Bug is a fantastic in-between-appointments product for those of us with "real" color in our hair. We all know semi-permanent, done-in-the salon-color looks the absolute best and has the least destructive impact on your bathroom tile! But who has the money to go-in every 3-4 weeks for bright-color refreshing? ( I don't.) For this reason above all others Color.Bug won me over. With Color.Bug, I can "keep my pink" looking brand new in-between my regular appointments; and that is a major money saver!
For more information on Color.Bug, including where to find it in your area, visit Kevin Murphy online.
Just announced: Kevin Murphy goes NEON! Ultra bright yellow /green has just joined the line-up of washable Color bugs!

75% of the CEO
Darren Rodgers
I worked at Blue Cross (TX) full-time for more than a year
Pros – Decent pay and lots of opportunities for overtime. Very good at training you and preparing you as much as possible.
Cons – Upper management makes a lot of changes for the "good of the company" without much regard to the employees.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Blue Cross (TX)
Pros – Great flexiblity with your work schedule, and good performance can lead to the oppurtunity to work from home. The benefits are excellent, medical, dental, vision, 401(k), pension, 18+ days of paid time off plus holidays, and tutiton assistance of up to $5400 a year. The company puts a lot of money into training so they give you as many resources as they can to help you suceed. I haven't heard of any non-salaried employees being laid off.
Cons – I'm not going to lie, the work is boring and very tedious, but you are well compensated for it. Salary and management positions do not come open often in the Abilene location, so the competetion is high for a promotion in that area. If you put in the time and effort you can easily move into some higher paying hourly positions though. Also, there is a lot of promotion oppurtunity if you are willing to move to another location. There can be quite a bit of required overtime in peak months.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Blue Cross (TX)
Pros – Great Benefits and pension plan, competetive salary, good team atmosphere.
Employee bonuses given yearly.
Cons – Work is very redundant, excessive time spent on phone with customers, environment is in production mode which is somewhat restrictive.
Advice to Senior Management – Managers are ok, some probably required more training, as sometimes staff had to problem solve among themselves. Managers also appeared to be overworked and overwhelmed most of the time.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Blue Cross (TX)
Pros – Good benefits; respectful treatment by management. Family atmosphere, many people from same families work for company. Low turnover.
Cons – Instability of healthcare industry, nowadays! Sluggish, behind the times on their computer systems, slow to change, lots of inertia and bureaucracy.
Advice to Senior Management – Embrace the new healthcare laws and get out in front! Spin off some of your components instead of centralizing...too much overlap and territory fighting going on.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Greek Theatre, Hollywood Bowl named best outdoor concert venues in America
Photo by BeverlyHillsPorsches via Flickr Creative Commons
Los Angeles' Greek Theatre named best small outdoor venue by Pollstar.
The Greek Theatre took a bow as the "Best Small Outdoor Venue of the Year" at the 23rd Annual Pollstar Awards, with the Hollywood Bowl hitting a high note as the country's "Best Major Outdoor Concert Venue."
An encore honor for both amphitheaters, this is the twelfth win for the 80-year-old Greek taking up woodland residence in Griffith Park's local greenery and the eighth consecutive win for the legendary Bowl.
Owned by the City of Los Angeles, the nestled 5,900-seat Greek Theatre is managed, operated and booked exclusively by LA-based firm Nederlander Concerts while the LA Phil's acoustically superior Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of 18,000 expectant seats since 1922.
What's the best show you ever saw at the Hollywood Bowl or Greek Theatre?

Selecting Prefixes/Suffixes in Imbuing
Imbue is a quest reward. You receive one Imbue per Difficulty level after you complete the quest. You can save your Imbue for later if you wish. To use it, you must create a game or join a game on the same difficulty, so create/join a Normal Difficulty game to use your "Normal Imbue".
Imbue creates a new rare item out of the base item you want to imbue. The stats of the base item do not matter as the item used is only used to determine what type of rare item will result from an Imbue. Any properties of the old item are lost when the new rare item is created. Having a Superior Item, such as a piece of armor with higher Defense does not matter since the item is only used in determining what type of Rare item is created. Therefore, it is possible to get a lower Defense on a piece of armor or equipment if you do not receive an "Enhanced Defense" Magical Prefix.
For the best result you might want to save your Imbue for later. It's up to you to decide. If you save your Imbue you can find the best type of item to imbue such as Ornate Plate vs a lower quality armor. Also you might want to wait until your character level is such that all Magical Prefixes and Suffixes are available. As to which item to Imbue, you might want to pick an item type you're unlikely to upgrade often such as Belts, Boots, and so on. We'll leave the decision to you.
The Rare item will be created in the same way as any other Rare Item is created. The level of magical properties selected is set to Character Level + 6. So higher level characters will have more Magical Prefixes and Suffixes options available to them which may explain why higher level characters receive "better" stuff. This also explains why low level Imbues often result in "junk" stats. Remember, Circlets can increase the Character Level.
