Putting an emphasis on the social aspect of gaming isn't a bad idea for the next generation. Sony has set the bar last night when announcing the Playstation 4; not only does it seem technically impressive but the features it holds with it are ones that we can all appreciate and use in the coming years. I see the PS4's online functionalities as Sony's answer to just how great Microsoft has been this generation with it's user base on Xbox Live. Compared to what the Playstation 3 offers to it's online users, Microsoft, ostensibly, has the upper hand here. At the start of it's time I'm pretty sure the Playstation 3 didn't even allow for microphone chat through your friends list. I never even used it but I'm pretty sure they patched it in later in the lifecycle of the PS3. I never cared to play any PS3 games online even though the multiplayer was free, and I had to pay for Xbox live. I always saw it as: Xbox Live is just worth it, and now I think I could say the same thing about PS4 if it's multiplayer and social tools are behind a paywall. Throughout this generation we saw Sony slowly patch things into PSN to counter what Xbox Live had going for it, but it all seemed to slow down and dwindle, and now we know why: because Sony was focusing on the future.
With added features like streaming your friends games in real time and even being able to take control and play along with them-- hell yeah I'd pay extra for that. I think I would pay at least 70 a month for features like that. You can even upload your gameplay onto some sort of unspecified video medium center for others to view. To just show how much they care about your ability to communicate and play with friends they added a button into your controller dubbed: Share. This seems to be an easy way to pull up a screen where you can go through with features such as uploading a video, inviting a friend to your game, or viewing another friends game(maybe even playing it for them).
The controller seems a little bit bulkier, but at this point that's a good thing. The Duelshock 3 is so flimsy and weightless compared to the 360's and I like my controller to have some heft and girth to it (oh shut up). I want to feel like I'm holding something when I shoot you in the face and laugh at you, and it looks like the PS4 controller is going to feel more right. I didn't get to see how the L2 and R2 buttons look... I hope they're actual triggers like the 360's trigger buttons. The Duelshock 3's shoulder buttons just didn't feel right to me.
Anyway, this seems like a total improvement to what the PS3 is right now. I didn't actually see any games I truly cared for, but this is just the beginning. I'll be updating my blog later on what I think of Destiny, because that really seems like a promising, and yet questionable title coming from Bungie. While we're on the subject of the games, anyone notice the lack of a wow factor in the graphical leap? It's not a bad thing really I'm sure we hit a wall within the last couple years because video games have been looking better than ever but it's just interesting to see how little the leap moved this time around. I'm glad we're starting to think outside of the box. It's not always about looks.
For now I'm going to sit back and wait for more PS4 info to be dumped my way in the coming year. We still have a lot of great titles to look forward to this generation: GTA5, MGS: Ground Zeroes, and The Last of Us-- to name a few.
What do you guys think of the PS4, it's share capabilities, games and what do you think MS has in store for us? You know they're going to try to 1-up Sony in someway.

Posted on 09/12/2012 2:41:21 PM PDT by LibWhacker
On Monday, Jupiter took a massive hit from a meteor, which was spotted by amateur astronomers based in the USand if previous evidence is anything to go by, it could have saved Earth from a massive collision in the process.
Dan Peterson of Racine, Wisconsin, was gazing at Jupiter on Monday when he saw a bright, white flash on the surface of the planet. When he posted his observation online, another astrophotographer, George Hall, discovered he'd unknowingly captured the massive explosion on video.
Turns out it was probably a meteor striking the surface of the planetand you can watch the video below. In fact, this is evidence of Jupiter's protective effect as far as Earth is concerned. Because the planet is so massive Jupiter's gravitational field sucks a great many asteroids and comets towards it, which means that there are fewer threats to our humble little planet.
Which is just as well: a similar metoer strike in 2009 caused a bruise on the face of Jupiter the size of the Pacific Ocean. [George 1985 via Space]
Short YouTube video of the impact
Could be the meteor fragmenting as it hit the atmosphere. The smaller chunks would disperse around the large projectile.
As a gas giant, I'm not sure you can say that it hit the "surface" but it's an interesting event.
I think that this was intended for Earth on December 21st. Must be the Mayans didn't factor Jupiter into their calculations.
That was a big hit. Given the relative size of Jupiter versus the Earth, it would have been nasty if it had come our way.
One day it WILL come our way.
So! The Shoemaker-Levy event is not as rare as originally thought.
I realized today that I'm a FReeper of the apocalypse. My sign up anniversary is on the day the world is supposed to live.
FReepers of the apocalypse, lets ride!
Bush's fault.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
I don't understand why we assume that it protects us. Seems to me that there is an equal chance that asteroids and comets could be nudged inward as well.
The only thing tilting the scale in favor of protection is that some will get caught in Jupiter's gravity and crash into the planet.
Nobody was talking about December 21 as the end of the world until you signed up ;-)
Thank you Jupiter.
I would hate to think that we would have to rely on Steve Buscemi to do anything.
Jupiter had it coming.
Amazing. Almost as if God put it out there... :)
You just better hope I don't find 3 more FReepers who signed up on the 21st of December.
"Jupiter's chickennnnnnnnnnnnnnns...coming home to roost!"
That flash was about the same size as our planet. So yeah, thanks Jupiter! You took one for our team.
Will dumbass Øbama take credit for saving our planet?
Yep. Quite a coincidence, huh?
Jupiter's such a team player! Yes, it's like it was put there by Intelligent Design.
and of course it just all happens to be lcuk and randomness...God couldn't have had such a plan
He did.
At first I thought we had perfect symmetry. That's what made me think it might be an artifact. But after reading your comment, I went back and checked the video and while there are bright spots at 10, 12 and 2 o'clock, the one at 10 doesn't appear until well after the other two. So, yes, I like your theory most. The object didn't break up on a previous pass, as Shoemaker-Levy did, but broke up on entry. Going to be interesting to see what kind of bruises it produced. Not much doubt in my mind, it was a really big impact!
Interesting that an apparently major impact event was caught by amateurs and not studied in real time as Shoemaker-Levy was.
I take it that this meteor was an unknown entity? Kind of out of the blue? Any notion being put forth as to size? A whole lot of discomfiting unknowns here, imho.
Yes, absolutely unknown and not seen until someone caught the actual impact on film. That argues for a dark object that was not reflecting much light before the impact; i.e., it wasn't a comet, but most likely a meteor.
Our ability to detect certain space objects is rather poor. We may only have a month or two warning before impact.
Our ability to touch them is even more poor. Part of the reason we need to be out there is to gain the ability to intercept such space objects.
The last major event was only about 100 years ago over Siberia. If that happens over a populated area, it would be devastation unlike anything we've ever seen.
"Jupiter's gravitational field sucks a great many asteroids and comets towards it"
To put it simply, it's the Sandra Fluke of planets.
"...Our ability to detect certain space objects is rather poor..."
We need a president that respects the vast importance of an active space program. We learned more, and produced more new technology from the Apollo Project than any other space program — this was a great example. We should have been on the moon (permanent bases) well over a decade ago.
The priorities in DC suck. We need a real president with resolve and understanding of the future and the technologies that need to be exploited and expanded.
What happens if Jupiter isn't in a position to catch the next stray asteroid that size? WE'RE TOAST!!!!!
"So! The Shoemaker-Levy event is not as rare as originally thought."
There are many, many more eyes on it now, including amateurs with equipment that professionals would have killed for 30 years ago. I daresay that someone with $5000 and a little determination and expertise can take pictures considerably superior to Mt. Palomar's best before the CCD era.
...the planet is so massive Jupiter's gravitational field sucks a great many asteroids and comets towards it, which means that there are fewer threats to our humble little planet.As long as everyone's aware of the fact that this "explanation" is pretty simpleminded, I'm good to go (to bed). G'night all.

Jupiter is our friend. All we have to do is leave Europa alone.
Well said!
Most of the objects which encounter Jupiter get tossed and more often than not leave the Solar System; a much smaller number have their trajectories altered by the big planet such that they will eventually smash into the planet — such was the case with SL9, and probably with this object as well; a tiny fraction wind up encountering Jupiter once or more than once, and their trajectories altered such that they wind up in orbit around it during a future encounter. Jupiter has more than 60 moons, with many of them in retrograde.
Before anyone brings it up as if it's some kind of cutting criticism, the size of those retrograde moons is entirely beside the point.
Anyway, it's almost as if the whole thing is a series of random encounters by a inanimate objects. :')
Another 'extra, extra' to APoD members — and pretty soon I'll catch up on the *actual* APoD posts. [blush]
Good Ol' Jupiter.
Not just a big useless gasbag after all.

I think that is such a good idea, it should be used in all states I live in Michigan and it is unreal to see how many motorist do not pay attention to the stop arms on school busses and or the flashing yellow or red lights. Good for Ms. Lowe for seeing this through.

A roundup of today's best photos.
mp5: Democraps & Obama talked ship about BUSH ! TELL AMERICA WHAT IS THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN THE TWO ! Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts. ) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn't have any While running for President, Obama had promised that, unlike Bush, he would not have any lobbyists working in his administration. However, by February 2010, he had more than 40 lobbyists working in his administration. Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush While Senator, Obama voted for the $700 billion TARP bank bailout bill. The bailout rewarded irresponsible and illegal behavior. It redirected resources from more productive uses to less productive uses. It punished the hard working taxpayers who had played by the rules and obeyed the law. It created horrible incentives, and sent the wrong message. The bailout was evil because it rewarded the bad people and punished the good people. No society that does this can expect to remain free or prosperous. Instead of bailing out these corrupt corporations, we should have let them cease to exist, like we did with Enron. Expanded Bush's unconstitutional government faith based programs Obama expanded the federal government's faith based programs which had been started by President George W. Bush. Supported Bush's unconstitutional Patriot Act In May 2011, Obama signed a renewal of the Patriot Act. Increased the national debt more in one term than Bush did in two The national debt increased more during Obama's first three years and two months than it did during all eight years of George W. Bush's presidency. Agrees with Bush's support of unconstitutional, indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without filing any charges In December 2011, ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero criticized Obama for signing a bill that gave the U.S. government the power toindefinitely detain U.S. citizens without any charges being filed or any trial taking place. Agrees with Bush's support of unconstitutional, warrantless wiretapping President Obama has defended warrantless wiretapping. Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals. Supported release of convicted mass murderer In 2010, Obama supported releasing Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi (who had been convicted of murdering 270 people) from prison.

Saint-Gobain BV, one of Europe's leading distributors of building materials, has deployed an advanced, web-based invoice automation solution from enterprise purchase-to-pay specialist Palette, to enhance its accounts payable operations across the Netherlands.
Saint-Gobain Distribution BV is using PaletteInvoice from the PaletteArena suite of accounts payable automation solutions, to ensure that its annual flow of 350,000 invoices are processed, approved and scheduled for payment quickly and efficiently. The solution was supplied and configured by Palette partner, Simac Document Solutions, a leading integrator and service provider in Benelux.
With five independent divisions and 1700 employees working across 56 outlets throughout the Netherlands, Saint-Gobain Distribution BV wanted a solution that could streamline accounts payable processes across the group, and simplify workflow for staff while giving complete visibility and auditability of its financial position.
PaletteInvoice integrates with Saint-Gobain's ERP system to provide an up-to-date view of the company's active invoices and open purchase orders resulting in more efficient financial analysis and oversight.
Petra van den Broek, CFO for Saint-Gobain Distribution BV, said: "Our five divisions generate approximately 350,000 incoming invoices per year. Almost half of these invoices had to be processed manually by staff, often leading to delayed payments and a reduced level of accuracy. This was a huge driving factor for the migration to automated invoicing; we needed a new system that would enable us to enhance productivity and allow greater control over accounts payable activity.
"PaletteInvoice offered a perfect solution. We can now effectively handle our annual flow of invoices and in doing so make cost and time savings equivalent to six full-time employees. PaletteInvoice also offers complete transparency in the status of financial actions; we can see exactly where we are in terms of pending invoices, which is hugely beneficial when it comes to managing daily budgets."
PaletteArena is a complete enterprise purchase-to-payment suite, enabling users to achieve significant, measurable cost savings and efficiency gains in processing supplier invoices and purchase orders. It includes the PaletteInvoice, PaletteMobile, PaletteMail, PaletteBuyer, PaletteContract and PaletteSupplier Portal products, giving a web-based end-to-end solution that improves invoice management from receipt to payment. It integrates easily with accounting, information and business systems to automate and streamline accounts payable activity across the organisation.

North East tops alcohol-related hospital admissions league table
The North East has the highest rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions in England, according to new figures.
2.5% of people in the region were admitted to hospital for alcohol-related reasons in 2012-13. The statistics have been published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
The figure for Middlesbrough, at 3.28%, was the highest of any local authority area in England.
This is significantly above the national average figure of 1.89%. The South East had the lowest rate in England, at 1.5%.
Drink Drive Campaign launched ahead of World Cup
Football fans are being reminded of the dangers of drink driving ahead of the start of this year's World Cup. The campaign has been launched, jointly, by Durham and Cleveland Police. The main focus is to warn people that they may still be over the legal limit the morning AFTER drinking alcohol.
If you are found to be over the limit the next day you will be dealt with and prosecuted for the offence just as if you had got behind the wheel when intoxicated at the time. Driving in this state could easily lead to a serious or fatal crash because the driver is still affected from last night's alcohol. Our message is simple - don't risk it.
Due to the time difference in Brazil, some matches will be shown as late as 11 o' clock at night. This could increase the chance of alcohol still being in a person's system. The message also applies to drugs.
The campaign will be officially launched by former England and Middlesbrough star Gary Pallister this afternoon. He'll be joined by players from Middlesbrough's Youth Academy and Hartlepool United.
Children as young as eleven need drug and alcohol treatment
Children as young as eleven are being referred to specialist drug and alcohol treatment services in the North East.
Figures obtained from Freedom of Information requests reveal Darlington, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough local councils have referred the youngest (who is eleven) in our region during the past three years.
Gateshead off-licence told it cannot serve alcohol
An off-licence in Gateshead has had its alcohol licence revoked.
This comes after an underage volunteer was served alcohol there as part of a police operation.
The decision was made at a hearing at the Gateshead Civic Centre.
The Northumbria Police operation was triggered by reports of alcohol-related disruption in the area.
North East police forces crack down on drink-driving
North East police forces have launched their Christmas campaign to try to prevent drivers from drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel.
More officers will be stopping drivers for breath tests across the force areas. Police are also issuing a warning to people not to be tempted to drink and drive over the festive season, saying anyone who does is risking their own life and others.
The campaign will last until the New Year.
Heavy drinking linked with cancer
North East drinkers are being warned of the links between alcohol and cancer.
The message comes from the organisation Balance, which campaigns against alcohol misuse.
It says the more you drink, the more the risk increases.
Campaign group highlights alcohol link with cancer
A campaign group is warning of the link between alcohol and cancer. The message is coming from Balance, which works across the North East to reduce alcohol abuse.
It says alcohol misuse is responsible for more than 12,000 cases of cancer across the UK every year.
Balance says the risk increases with the quantity and frequency of consuming alcohol.
Its message is to drink in moderation.
Balance is funded by the NHS and supported by other public bodies. Its director Colin Shevills says:
"Unlike tobacco very few people associate alcohol with cancer and we need these perceptions to change."
Late-night levy on alcohol to be introduced
Premises selling booze in Newcastle between midnight and 6am will be subject to the UK's first late-night levy.
It means they will have to pay between £299 and £4,400 annually.
The money will be split between the council - who will get 30% - and the police who will get the remainder of the money.
The revenue will be used to address crime and disorder, public safety, public nuisance and street cleaning relating to alcohol supply.
"Newcastle's night time economy has a worldwide reputation and makes significant contribution to the prosperity of the city.
"However, it also has less welcome consequences - noise, crime, anti-social behaviour and negative health impacts.
"The levy will ensure that businesses which benefit from the late-night economy make a limited contribution to these costs which will help the city remain as one of the safest in the country and attractive to investors and visitors."
Darlington "one of worst in country" for alcohol related hospital admissions
More young people are admitted to hospital with alcohol-related problems in Darlington than almost anywhere else in the country.
That's according to figures released by Public Health England, which shows 154 under-18s were hospitalised over a two year period.
A spokesman says that's one of the worst figures in England.
Alcohol a key factor in pedestrian road deaths
More pedestrians are killed or injured on roads in Newcastle than anywhere else in the North East and alcohol is one of the major factors.
The findings come from the education group Road Safety GB, which has launched a new campaign to reduce casualties.
"Check Out Before You Step Out" was launched at Newcastle Sixth Form College to target one of the most at-risk categories, those aged 16 - 24.
Drinking alcohol, being distracted by friends or technology and not paying attention contribute strongly to young people being killed or injured on roads.
More than 3,000 adults have been involved in pedestrian accidents in the North East over the last five years. Almost a quarter happened in Newcastle.
Alan Kennedy, Chairman of Road Safety GB, explains the problem:

I have felt strongly about my role as a woman lately. I recently saw a video on the history of the bikini. It was a presentation given by a very educated and well spoken woman. I also have been reading quite a bit about the #yestoallwomen movement. Why I find these two ideals synonymous might confuse you, but here it is.
Feminists will argue that women should be able to wear whatever they want without having to worry about aggressive male behavior. That brings me to a Dave Chapelle stand up routine. In the stand up the girl said "Just because I'm dressed this way doesn't mean I AM this way..." His rebuttal? If you dress like a cop, I'm going to assume you are a cop.
The way we present ourselves is how people will judge us immediately. Like the book Blink suggests, most judgments are made within the first 10 seconds of experiencing anything, and that those first instincts are almost always right. Instead of continuing to quote everyone else, let me just say what I think because this is my blog. The way we dress, the way we do our hair and our make up, our shoes, our cars, our houses...this is what the shallow world judges us by. It is all that men see when they see a woman. It is all a woman sees when she sees a man. Sure we can get past initial reactions or judgments, but the first impression is a hard one to reverse. If my son brought home some girl in a bikini top and shorts all I would think is "HELL NO." Even if she had the "sweetest personality." Why? If she dresses that way daily, she needs all sorts of attention, and not the good kind. Men's brains truly objectify women the more skin they show. Brain fact.
This brings me to the subject of girls who are a hot mess one that has "Daddy issues?" Dad's need to pay attention to girls and not always treat us as fragile, but treat us as strong and capable, just like boys. Dad's also need to treat their boys not always like athletes, but as fragile, someday needing to understand his emotions and the emotions of women. There are soft and hard traits in us all and I believe they need nurturing one and the same. When a boy is told that his emotions are womanly, he automatically will relate weakness with women, therefore instilling a judgmental and unhealthy view of a woman's roll in society. He will see himself above an entire gender, leading him to see himself above anyone he sees fit. He will not treat a woman with sensitivity, but with a sense of arrogance. I know a LOT of men like this. They talk to me differently, they lower their expectations, and although I might be worlds smarter than them, I am simply stupid. It is aggravating, but it didn't start with them alone. It started in the home, by the example set with the parents, and eventually turned into a guy who is a big jerk. Of course I've heard numerous sermons on submitting to the man. This is a biblical principal that can get a little out of hand at times. The truth is, if the man in the home does not see the woman as equal, "submitting" only becomes a means of control. I believe a woman can believe in her husband and trust in his choices and abilities, but in no way does that make her inferior in making decisions as well. I want to be in a partnership, not a dictatorship.
All this being said, I don't think the view of women has changed much at all. It's a fact women still won't make as much as men in the same position. It's a fact women are being discriminated against and treated poorly in the workplace every single day. My point I'm trying to make is, our bodies should not be another way that a man can demean us. Our bodies should be protected, taken care of, and clothed properly. Modesty gives us empowerment. It doesn't mean we aren't appreciative of our bodies or that we aren't proud of what who we are. It simply means that our voices, our minds, and our ambitions will shine brighter than our cleavage. It means that our goals, our dreams, and our ability to be powerful are not found in short skirts and tight tops. We are powerful without having to use our bodies to get us attention, promotions, or acceptance. I believe the most confident of women are not those wearing skimpy clothes, but the women that dress with class and elegance and are noticed for more than their appearance. Think of Marilyn Monroe Vs. Audrey Hepburn. Think of their lives. Think of how they got attention and how they ended up.
I hope as a parent I can teach my son that his knowledge and love for others are the most important things he can share with this world. I hope I can teach him that women are of value and should be respected and cherished. I hope that he realizes that I am strong yet gentle, and that he can be too.

Mumford & Sons wins album of the year at Grammys
British folk band Mumford & Sons pulled off a surprise victory at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, winning album of the year away from fellow nominees the Black Keys, and fun., who were dominating the night.
Before the nominations were announced last year, Mumford was an early favorite to win music's biggest prize. Its sophomore album, "Babel," had the second-highest week of sales last year according to Billboard, and the band's sweeping, banjo-strumming style paved the way for a lucrative folk renaissance, inspiring other acts like the Lumineers and Phillip Phillips, who've also had big sales successes. »Read Full Article(2)

, thanks for your great work on the board of directors!Thanks so much for your support of the BC Cycling Coalition and cycling in BC.
The BC Cycling Coalition is your voice for great bike routes everywhere. We are working hard to enable everyone in the Province to bike for their daily trips while eliminating fatalities and injuries. Please show your support by signing the Billion for Bikes petition.
To meet these ambitious goals, we need your help. Please donate $5, $10, $15 or $20 a month or become a member.
Invest in Safety for Bike Riders on Hwy 19A from Fanny Bay to Royston
The Comox Valley is the land of outdoor activity. It is known for mountain biking but equally enjoyed by people on road bikes. One popular route is through the rural Comox Valley communities situated between Cook Creek Road and Royston Road, a 30 km stretch along Hwy 19A. With an investment in better cycling infrastructure, the Comox Valley could become a mid-Vancouver Island cycling destination.
Even now, many people cycle this route: local cycling clubs, tourists and residents. It is rare not to spot a person on a bike here. This section of Hwy 19A offers the only transportation route by car, bike, transit or foot through the adjacent ocean front residential nodes and contains the access point to both Denman and Hornby Islands. It is also an important link for the bicycle circle route between Nanaimo, the Comox Valley, Powell River and the Sunshine Coast. The route offers a unique rural community experience for both locals and the growing number of people seeking adventure by bike.
In my experience, the best side of Hwy 19A between Royston and Cook Creek Road is its diverse natural setting offering vistas of Baynes Sound, aromas of the sea, stretches of forest and occasional viewings of wildlife from both the forest and the sea. The friendly unique rural communities along the route provide sanctuaries of rest, food and hospitality. The overall terrain is comfortable, with undulating sections but nothing steep. It is a route ideal for cycle tourism and transportation by bike, or rather could be.
The negative side is the road itself. It has areas of neglect and inadequate shoulder widths. The posted traffic speeds vary between 60-80 kmh. Generally it denies a bike rider a safe space. The shoulder is often too narrow, some spots as narrow as 9 inches wide; the cars too fast, many very large, and frequently not moving over nor slowing down enough for a cyclist to feel safe; the upkeep of the road shoulder is poor including overgrown greenery, gravel, and cracked and angled pavement, many of the bridge decks are shared with highway speed traffic with no refuge for the bike rider and interspersed during a bike ride is often parked vehicles that essentially force the cyclist off the shoulder into a travel lane meant for larger and faster moving traffic.My personal story, that fueled safety concerns on this stretch of roadway, occurred in June 2016. I experienced what felt like a near miss on two consecutive days: one with a logging truck that forced me off the road, the other with a swerving driver that fortunately swerved away just in time to continue swerving somewhere else. I can only guess that person was impaired.
My conclusion is this section of Hwy 19A does not consider public safety issues for people on bikes nor people on foot. The gold standard would be protected cycling and walking infrastructure, something, given my recent experiences, I am advocating for.
Take Action
I believe improved cycling infrastructure on Hwy 19A in the Comox Valley would make the road safer for people on bikes. A likely outcome would be more residents cycling for transportation, and a marked rise in cyclotourism. The return on investment beyond the potential for saving a person's life is the role cycling plays in climate action solutions, health care cost reduction, tourism and rural community economic growth.
Please email the Minister of Transportation and Highways, the Hon. Todd Stone to ask for investment for safer cycling infrastructure on Hwy 19A:

$730 Million Surplus for BC, Time for a Billion for Bikes
Finance Minister Mike de Jong reports that B.C. is ending the fiscal year with a $730 million surplus. Investing a good portion of the surplus in cycling and walking will increase affordability by enabling people to reduce their transportation costs.
The B.C. economy grew by an estimated three per cent in 2015, more than triple the national average. A massive surge in property transfer tax has left the province's coffers fuller than expected, and more help could be coming from the province to deal with housing affordability.
The Province has recently announced several cycling improvements:
- Seven Vancouver Island communities (Langford, Saanich, Victoria, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Capital Regional District, Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District) will get nearly $2.7 million in Bike BC Funding for cycling facilities
- Updates to Highway 97 in West Kelowna include wider shoulders and improved lighting from Glenrosa Road to Hebert Road
- Upgrades to the Sea to Sky include the Porteau Bluffs cycling warning system and may include improved shoulders near Whistler
While this is a start, much more is needed to enable everyone to cycle for their daily trips.
Take Action
Please Premier Clark know that you want more cycling. Let them know what greatly improved cycling would mean for your family and community.

Lets Make this Beautiful Province a Great Place to Cycle
I've had the pleasure of working with many of you to improve cycling around Vancouver and BC through HUB, BEST, Canada Bikes and the BCCC. Working with political leaders and staff in all levels of government, we have had many successes. From wider sidewalks on the Lions Gate Bridge and the Ironworks Bridge, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Path on the Canada Line Bridge, to the Central Valley Greenway. All told, these improvements total around $70 million.
While there are many reasons why I work to move cycling forward, what I find most rewarding is seeing more and more people cycling. Especially families with children.
Still, there is much to do. BC is a large province with great potential.
We need cycle tracks along main streets so people can safely and comfortably cycle to shops, cafes, restaurants, offices and other businesses.
We need safe connections between communities for locals and tourists. At least wide shoulders free of debris and preferable paths separated from high speed traffic.
We need improved standards for paths and roads ensuring that obstacles are not placed on or near bicycle paths, that fencing and railings do not cause crashes or serious injuries and that shoulders are wide, well maintained and kept clear of hazards.
We need a billion for bikes so we can fast track the completion of all ages and abilities cycling networks across the province. It is time for bold action.
We need need to build stronger more organized cycling community across the Province to encourage leaders to make commitments to improve cycling and to provide the grassroots support they need when they show leadership in moving cycling.
We need your support to make this all happen. As the BCCC not a charity, we can't issue tax receipts. However, that means we are not limited in the amount of money that we can and will devote for advocacy. Please donate to support the Billions for Bikes campaign.
I look forward to continue working with you to make this beautiful province a great place for people of all ages to enjoy cycling.
Thank you for your great work and support.
Remove the PST and Add Rebates for Electric Bikes
Currently in B.C. bicycles and transportation fares are exempt from PST charges, and clean energy vehicles are eligible for rebates up to $5,000. Purchases of new electric bicycles, and their electric parts, are charged PST, and are not eligible for rebates. Something doesn't seem right here, does it? So please please sign the petition!
For a brief period of time, when B.C. was running the HST tax, electric bikes did, in fact, receive tax exemptions. It seems that in the transition back to the system we currently use, minor details such as taxes on assisted bikes slipped through the cracks.
For small business owners however, this detail feels rather significant. "It's really quite a hassle." Says Paul Dragan of Reckless Bikes. "When repairing an electric bike, we have to charge PST on the electric parts like the battery and motor while there is no PST on the bike parts like wheels and brakes.". Creating two separate lines, and a once unnecessary step to small business's financial records, is cumbersome and aggravating.
For individuals, the re-added tax could be a barrier to purchasing, or converting to, an e-bike. Electric bikes suitable for commuting typically cost $1500-$3000, making the suggested PST exemption worth about $105 - $210 for buyers, plus on-going PST charges on maintaining parts. Additionally, a rebate would provide financial incentives for individuals to incorporate active transportation into their daily lives.
Electric bikes are being studied by biking centres around the world. The Netherlands, and Norway have measured significant increases in bicycle trip length, and frequency due to use of electric bikes. In 2013, a survey in the Netherlands reported that 5 percent of the total population, and 10 percent of the 60+ population owned an e-bike, and those with electric models ride twice as many kilometers compared to the 60+ cyclists with a regular bike. In 2014, they found that those with e-bikes rode 22% more kilometres per week, and the average commuting distance rose from 6.3 to 9.8 kilometres. Assisted bikes make up 21% of bicycles sales in the Netherlands.
Electric bicycles remove accessibility barriers by allowing riders to conquer hills, speeds, and distances that would otherwise be impossible for some people. These machines, that emit zero carbon, make active transportation a viable option for a broader population, opening it up to all ages and abilities, especially in combination with safe cycling infrastructure.
With B.C.'s aggressive climate targets for 2050, and municipal initiatives to increase active transportation, removing financial barriers to access electric bicycles is logical. Considering that it was not long ago that we actually didn't pay taxes on these bikes, it is more of an error correction, than a radical request.
The British Columbia Cycling Coalition has submitted a formal request to remove the PST and add rebates, similar to those available for electric cars, as part of their Climate Leadership Action Plan recommendation.
Also included in the recommendations a billion dollars over ten years for bike paths and protected bike lanes as well as improved design standards that can safely accommodate electric bikes and enable longer distance commuting.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Aeterna Zentaris will share development costs and profits for its drug candidate AEZS-108 (doxorubicin peptide conjugate) with Ergomed Clinical Research, in return for selecting the contract clinical development organization to conduct an upcoming Phase III trial for the endometrial cancer treatment.
Ergomed will assume 30%—up to $10 million—of the clinical and regulatory costs for the Phase III trial with AEZS-108 in endometrial cancer, which are estimated at approximately $30 million over the course of the study. Ergomed has agreed in return to an undisclosed single-digit percentage of any net income received by Aeterna Zentaris for AEZS-108 in the endometrial cancer indication, up to a specified maximum.
"This agreement is part of our nondilutive strategy aimed at minimizing R&D costs while maximizing drug development efficiency," Juergen Engel, Ph.D., Aeterna Zentaris' president and CEO, said in a statement.
Aeterna Zentaris envisions marketing AEZS-108 for several additional cancer indications. One of them is ovarian cancer, for which the drug candidate was given an orphan drug designation by FDA and an orphan medicinal product designation from the European Medicines Agency. AEZS-108 is also being investigated in Phase II trials for triple-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer.
AEZS-108 is a hybrid molecule composed of a synthetic peptide carrier and the chemotherapy agent doxorubicin. The Phase III trial will compare AEZS-108 with doxorubicin as second line therapy for locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic endometrial cancer. The primary efficacy endpoint will be improvement in median overall survival.
About 500 patients are expected to participate in the Phase III trial, which be an open-label, randomized, multicenter study to be conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment in North America, Europe, Israel, and other countries. The study is not yet recruiting patients, according to a Clinicaltrials.gov page last updated January 11. At the time, Aeterna Zentaris estimated the study would collect final data for the primary outcome measure in December 2015, and be completed a month later.
In Phase II results presented last November at the 22nd EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Berlin, AEZS-108 saw an overall response rate of 30.8%, and a clinical benefit rate of 74.4%. While the overall survival after single agent AEZS-108 was similar to that reported for modern triple-combination chemotherapy, it was achieved with lower toxicity, according to Aeterna Zentaris. Median time to progression was seven months (30 weeks), while overall survival was 14.3 months (62 weeks).
Aeterna Zentaris is a Canadian-based oncology and endocrinology drug developer that markets Cetrotide® (cetrorelix acetate), the first LHRH antagonist treatment approved for in vitro fertilization.
The agreement with Aeterna Zentaris marks Ergomed's fifth co-development and profit sharing deal signed to date, the company's CEO Miroslav Reljanovic, M.D., said in the statement.

To the Editor.
—In the October 1983 Archives, Cartwright et al1 describe a patient who inhaled butane gas. As noted in the article, most hydrocarbon incidents have been associated with aspiration of aliphatic hydrocarbons of a higher molecular weight (C8 and above). Butane, however, is a low molecular weight (C4) gaseous hydrocarbon that has been designated as a simple asphyxiant,2,3 since no systemic effect had been linked to its inhalation.3 The dosage far exceeds that noted in an industrial environment, but the case does demonstrate that butane gas, at higher concentrations, has a definite lower respiratory irritant effect.Most accounts of aspiration of the higher hydrocarbons have the cause of the pulmonary pathologic condition clouded by the presence of gastric contents, contaminants of the fractionation process (ie, aromatic hydrocarbons), preservative, or additives. The authors have described the inhalation of a gaseous aliphatic hydrocarbon that can

A guy who likes to try to go after married or taken women. He gets a cheap thrill out of talking to ladies online and liking all of their Facebook posts and being super thirsty and posting lame comments on all of their photos. This is the type of guy who doesn't know what he wants but he likes to lead ladies on but they need to be in a relationship or married for him to feel good about himself like he is trying to steal another guys woman. A Dilly-bar guy also likes to post a ton of gay selfies that look the exact same for attention to feed his insecure ego. He will go as so far as to hit on his "step daughters" so basically any "forbidden" females is what gets his rocks off
Anyone with that many selfies who is that thirsty to go after taken females is a dilly-bar!

Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, but it is usually synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon...
manna on Saturn?
Interesting, thanks for pinging Dave!
I think i'm gonna cry I'm laughing so hard.
Then again, he may be onto something.... ;o)
Meanwhile, the postal monopoly is painting at least some of its rectangular postal boxes to appear like R2D2, while offering this commemorative stamp set:
That's the retainer nut.
Of potential interest:
Agree that this "hexagon" isn't very impressive, especially with geological features such as the Giant's Causeway here on Earth.
saturn ... 6th planet
s-a-t-u-r-n....6 letters
Thanks for the link. Excellent Ken Miller (Brown Univ) lecture link there.
Giant bees
I just gave up beer this year. A couple of years ago I gave up ALL booze. That was a pain. Just beer is uncomfortable, but OK....so far.
always good to leave yourself an out like that. my girls gave up all sweets but ice cream : )
If that's the retainer nut, doesn't it belong on Uranus?
Now we're getting somewhere.

LOL... it took 32 posts before someone remembered to blame Bush...
actually, it's the force shield around Algore's super secret saturn sanctuary.
It is proof that the Rove Systems Inc. Weathermatic is in operation.
Basalt columns.
Sorry to bust your love-fest with the hexagon D-Fendr, the circle provides the largest area for a given perimeter.
Also I don't think it can beat a cube for ease of stacking... With hexagon tubes you can never pack to the edge of the container regardless of the side of the hexagon.
However, you are correct, bees do use it ;-)
Note: Just adding, this is an old topic. Thanks anymouse.

The Broncos finished the 2010 season 4-12, with a defense ranked 32nd in the league and a franchise-high No. 2 draft pick. After the firing of former head coach Josh McDaniels, the lockout-shortened time frame for new head coach John Fox to implement his philosophies, and the controversy surrounding the quarterback position heading into the 2011 season, most reporters have written Denver off as a mere cellar-dweller heading into the season.
It's important to remember that each and every NFL season there are teams that seem to come out of nowhere to be competitive. With an average turnover of 50 percent of playoff teams year to year, these are the reasons why Broncos fans should be optimistic about their chances in the AFC West in 2011.

Free Fonts of the Month: Revalo, Nadia Serif, Qlassik
- By Vitaly Friedman
- September 13th, 2007
- 45 Comments
Sometimes web design is just about beautiful typography. Used with a profound understanding of white space, basic typographic principles and usability heuristics, it can sufficiently highlight the main sections of the site and its key elements. Font size of headers, body copy and navigation is important. Leading is important. Line length is important. And the visibility of links is important. Basically, that's it1 – really, you don't need more2.
There are literally thousands of professional typefaces you can use, you might use dozens of them3; however there is also a plenty of high-quality freefonts4 which can serve as reasonable and feasible alternatives and fulfill your requirements just as well. We collect all of them regularly, so you don't have to.
Over the last month we've found six high-quality free fonts you can use for both private and commercial projects. Please check out the license agreements before using these typefaces – disclaimers can change from time to time.

Novel Vaccination Strategies and Vaccine Formulations for Epidemic and Pandemic Influenza Control
Annual influenza epidemics and pandemics cause a significant disease burden and death rates in human beings, and have a high economical impact on the EU. The major drawbacks of influenza vaccines are their limited efficacy and production methods that are hard to adapt to requirements of continuously changing influenza viruses. We aim to improve the efficacy and production methods of epidemic and pandemic influenza vaccines through:
Annually occurring influenza virus epidemics, associated with antigenic 'drift' of the surface glycoproteins haemagglutinin and neuraminidase (HA and NA) of the influenza A and B viruses, cause a significant disease burden and high death rates in human beings which exceed deaths due, for example, to road accidents in Europe. Less frequent pandemic outbreaks of influenza (three in the last century) associated with the introduction of a new influenza A virus subtype from an animal reservoir - antigenic 'shift' - are even more serious in this respect, causing millions of deaths in a short period of time.
Although recently a new generation of antiviral compounds (neuraminidase inhibitors) with promising anti-viral effects have been developed, the most cost-effective and efficient way of controlling influenza remains preventive vaccination. The major drawbacks of the currently used multi-component influenza vaccines, produced in embryonated chicken eggs, are their limited efficacy and classical production methods which are hard to adapt to requirements related to 'drift' and 'shift' phenomena.
The aim of the project was the development of more effective strategies for the vaccination of human beings against epidemic and pandemic influenza. Divided over the respective work packages four objectives were identified. These were:
Results obtained during the project were presented at national and international conferences on 91 occasions. A total of 75 publications in international peer-reviewed journals emanated from the project and three patent applications were filed.
