Sunshine Week: Beware actions that cloud open government
<![CDATA[MONROE, La. -- The long-range weather forecast for this week is for us to enjoy springlike temperatures and some sun peeking through the clouds. That's only fitting, because it is Sunshine Week. But the sunshine we're celebrating is not caused by the fiery star. It's the light shining on open government that allows citizens to participate and learn how decisions that affect their lives are made. These days, the climate for open government is partly cloudy and, in some cases, quite stormy. While some efforts are being made to provide citizens greater access to the workings of their elected officials and governmental departments, some troubling winds are blowing. We see that Louisiana's state government is transparent in many ways. The budget, contracts, campaign finance reports, audits, legislative activity and many other pieces of vital information are readily available to the public. But we also see a state government that stalls on public records request and has wound up in court on more than one occasion when citizens have challenged government's inability to comply with its own laws. Transparency, you see, is in not in the eye of the beholder, it's in the eye of any governmental agency's custodian of records. Enforcing that transparency when someone does not want to comply with a request becomes a matter of who's got the money to pay for a lawyer and take it to court. Most people don't care about transparency in government until they are denied access to information they want. And unfortunately, these days, individual laws are being passed that are slowly closing up access to information that you may some day want to know. Though spearheaded by journalists, Sunshine Week is about the public's right to know what its government is doing, and why. Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger. Citizen involvement in actions that hold government accountable is essential in a democracy. Please take a minute or two this week to think about the importance of letting the sun shine on government activities and consider supporting efforts to keep government operating in the sunshine. --The News-Star, Monroe, La.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Had a very good trio and experience.
I would recommend anyone going to San Antonio to stay here. It's a nice friendly hotel and within walking distance to all the sights downtown. Like the Alamo and riverwalk.

When light damages the eyes
Tuesday, August 16, 2011, 9:52 am No Comments | Post a CommentRegardless of how many birthday cards, T-shirts and magazines declare that 50 is the new 30, the organs in our bodies start showing their age after 40. One of the first organs to do so is the eye, said Joan Roberts, a visiting scientist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park.
Presbyopia is what we notice – the eye's lens loses elasticity, which makes it harder to focus on nearby objects and requires us to wear reading glasses. The chemical changes we don't notice – at least not right away.
Between 40 and 50, the amount of protective antioxidants in our bodies decreases. That makes the eyes particularly vulnerable to damage from light, because it compounds a chemical change in the production of protective pigments that starts at about the same time.
The result, nearly 40 percent of Americans develop cataracts by the time they are 65 or older, according to data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Cataracts, or clouding of the lens, can be treated with surgery. But when this increased vulnerability to light damages the retina, cells die and macular degeneration develops. This age-related disorder, which causes tunnel vision around a blurred spot in the center, affects about 5.6 percent of Americans 65 or older, according to CDC data.
Cataracts and macular degeneration aren't avoidable, Roberts said, but their onset can be delayed.
Roberts, a chemistry professor at Fordham University in New York City who for 15 years has done part of her research at NIEHS, has more than 25 years experience tracking the good and bad effects of light on the eye.
Ultraviolet radiation is largely responsible for the bad effects, as Roberts described in a 2009 research paper.
The cornea absorbs UV light with the most potential for damage. In adults, the lens absorbs the remainder of the UV light and only visible light reaches the retina. But the eye's natural defenses start to break down after 40. The chemical changes in the pigments and the loss of antioxidants cause damage to the lens that adds up over time. Clear lenses get cloudy. Cataracts develop.
Drugs, such as the antibiotics Cipro and tetracycline, and medicinal herbs such as St. John's Wort, can accelerate the lens damage. So can light reflecting off of sand and snow.
Roberts, who said, "It's my job to turn that 70 into 100," had several suggestions how to delay the onset of cataracts: Antioxidant boosts through nutrition. Fruit and vegetables high in vitamin E and lutein and green tea were high on her list. Wraparound sunglasses protect on the beach and in the mountains.
Macular degeneration can develop following UV damage to the retina at a very young age or following prolonged damage by visible light called short blue visible light. Age-related changes in the eye's pigments after the age of about 50 can promote such prolonged damage.
Roberts' suggestion to delay age-related macular degeneration are Eagle Eye sunglasses, which were developed by NASA and designed for astronauts to block short blue visible light.

Colman's Beef & Ale Sauce Mix
Member Name: fragglerock2006
Colman's Beef & Ale Sauce Mix
Date: 11/12/09
Advantages: Very tasty, cheap and simple to make.
Disadvantages: Takes 1 and 1/2 hours to cook.
Having tried various other Colman's sauces (Colmans Chicken Curry being my favourite!) I decided to give the Beef and Ale Casserole sauce a go.
Price and availability:
They were on sale for 79p at my local Sainsbury's and you can find them in all good supermarkets. They often do 3 for 2 offers on the packet sauces too so look out for those.
It is a 45g packet that has a silver foil type lining to ensure maximum freshness of the product.
It is a dry mix, that has a combination of blended thyme, spices and ale.
How to cook:
You will need to buy 450g (1lb) of lean braising steak, one medium sized onion and 115g mushrooms. You cube the beef and slice the onion and mushrooms, placing them in an ovenproof casserole dish. Then seperately mix the sachet with 425ml water, then add this to the dish. Cover and cook for 1 and 1/2 hours.
**note** The first time I cooked this dish, I decided to throw it all in a slow cooker and leave it a couple of hours. It really didn't work! The beef was tough, can't understand why but it didn't have the desired effect. I still ate it though as I was hungry and the sauce still tasted nice!
The sauce has a lovely rich depth to it, the ale flavour isn't overpowering (which I was a little concerned about when I bought it) it's a nice consistency - perhaps if you like a thick gravy add a little less water than it advises, you can always splash a little more in at the end if you need to.
This is such a versatile sauce, you can have it with mashed potato ( add garlic puree, wholegrain mustard or spring onion to the mash for a really tasty meal with a difference) or you can have it with chips, or why not turn it into a pie by adding a pastry top over the casserole dish when there's 1/2 hour cooking time left.
It really is yummy, it's meant to serve four - but we're greedy in my house and we make 2 generous portions instead.
Summary: Lovely rich sauce that makes a meal out of so few ingredients.

Team should be undefeated, but lost by one point to Iowa in the last two minutes of the game (field goal). For sure, he will make NIU the next Boise State.

- Nikon Coolpix P510
- The 42x-zooming Nikon P510 boasts the world's longest zoom range and the longest focal length.
Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera Review
$429.95- 0
- 10
The P510 earned a great sharpness score, currently tied for the best in the superzoom class with the Canon SX40 HS. We measured an average of 1622 MTF50s across all focal lengths and all areas of the frame, and a maximum of 2072 MTF50s at the center of the frame at the middle focal length. (We tested with the default sharpness setting and the standard color profile.)
At any given focal length, sharpness is pretty consistent across all areas of the frame. As we expected, sharpness drops notably at the telephoto setting, but only down to an average of about 1260 MTF50s—we've tested plenty of superzooms that don't even average 1200 MTF50s, so the P510 is a legitimate sharpshooter by those standards.
All that said, the real-world images don't look as crisp as the test scores let on. There's some noticeable edge enhancement at work—notice how the edges of the black squares in the crops look darker than the center of the squares, and there's a bright "halo" effect right beyond the borders. Even if the details are technically sharp, the noise reduction (even at base ISO, like here), smudges away the finer points. More on how we test sharpness.
Image Stabilization
Our stabilization test measures how sharp images are with stabilization turned on compared to sharpness with stabilization turned off. The P510 didn't perform well on this test, but quite frankly, our test scores aren't worth a toot in this case.
The image stabilization on this camera is excellent. We could shoot perfectly crisp shots at 1000mm without a tripod, so that's what should matter. It's by far the longest-reaching superzoom on the market, and we didn't run into any trouble shooting telephoto shots with IS activated.

As Marcelo notes, just recently Pet Holdings sites have been featured in Time Magazine, MSNBC, and Ben Huh made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. That sort of exposure can drive a back-office IT staff nuts trying to keep the ship afloat when the visitors start pouring in.
Congratulations to Scott Porad and the tech team there for putting together an operation that can scale up to meet the insane (and unpredictable) demands put on their infrastructure. And congrats to Ben and the marketing operation for getting such excellent exposure for what has turned out to be one of the web's #1 humor destinations.

Also known as the Central African Federation.
The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was created between 1 August and 23 October 1953 and lasted until 31 December 1963. The federation joined the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), the colony of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and the protectorate of Nyasaland (now Malawi).
Origins of the Federation
White European settlers in the region were perturbed about the increasing black African population, but had been stopped during the first half of the twentieth century from introducing more draconian rules and laws by the British Colonial Office. The end of World War II led to increased white immigration, especially in Southern Rhodesia, and there was a worldwide need for copper which existed in quantity in Northern Rhodesia. White settler leaders and industrialists once again called for a union of the three colonies to increase their potential and harness the black workforce.
The election of the National Party in South Africa in 1948 worried the British government, which began to see federation as a potential counter to the Apartheid policies being introduced in SA. It was also seen as a potential sop to black nationalists in the region who were starting to ask for independence. However black nationalists in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia were worried that the white settlers of Southern Rhodesia would come to dominate any authority created for the new federation -- this proved to be true, as the Federation's first appointed prime minister was Godfrey Huggins, Viscount Malvern, who had already served as PM of Southern Rhodesia for 23 years.
Operation of the Federation
The British government planned for the Federation to eventually become a British dominion, and it was overseen from the start by a British assigned governor-general. The federation was an economic success, at least at the start, and there was investment in a few expensive engineering projects, such as the Kariba hydro-electric dam on the Zambezi. In addition, in comparison to South Africa the political landscape was more liberal. Black Africans worked as junior ministers and there was an income/property-owning basis to the franchise which allowed some black Africans to vote. There was still, however, an effective white minority rule to the government of the federation, and just as the rest of Africa was expressing a desire for majority rule, nationalist movements in the federation were growing.
Break up of the Federation
In 1959 Nyasaland nationalists called for action, and the resultant disturbances led to the authorities declaring an state of emergency. Nationalist leaders, including Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda, were detained, many without a trial. After his release in 1960, Banda decamped to London, where with Kenneth Kaunda (who had been similarly imprisoned for nine months) and Joshua Nkomo he continued to campaign for an end to the federation.
The early sixties saw independence come to a number of French African colonies, and the British prime minister, Harold Macmillan, gave his famous 'wind of change' speech in South Africa.
The British had already decided in 1962 that Nyasaland should be allowed to secede from the federation. A conference held in early '63 at Victoria Falls was seen a last-ditch attempt to maintain the federation. It failed. It was announced on 1 February 1963 that the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland would be broken up. Nyasaland achieved independence, within the Commonwealth, as Malawi on 6 July 1964. Northern Rhodesia became independent as Zambia on 24 October that year. White settlers in Southern Rhodesia announced a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) on 11 November 1965.

Today marks the close of artificial intelligence news-summarization app Summly's second full week in Apple's App Store. And considering the 17-year-old founder Nick D'Aloisio managed to recruit Badoo's former chief operating officer as his chairman and a list of investors ranging from Horizon Ventures' Li Ka-shing to Mark Pincus, Ashton Kutcher, Yoko Ono, and Lady Gaga's business manager, we thought it was a good time to take a look at how it has performed so far for our weekly analysis of the app economy.
Launched on November 1, Summly was rated the No. 2 free news app is the App Store by the end of the first day, and by the end of the second day it was No. 1, where it stayed for two more days before falling to the 11th position by November 13, and currently sitting at No. 9, according to AppData.
And based on a statement posted Monday to the London-based Summly's official blog, the app has been featured in 48 countries as Apple's Editors Choice for App of the Week in its first week.
Not surprisingly, though, the launch excitement is waning, but this wane seems rather sudden and steep. AppData's New Ratings Per Day study, useful for measuring user engagement, shows that after two weeks, the app has fallen from its peak of 128 ratings per day to just five, a sign that people aren't coming away after using the app with a sensation of wanting to share their experience.
Summly has now raised $1.48 million and, according to a statement released by D'Aloisio, plans to expand to other platforms, devices, and languages soon.

I'll open by saying it's entirely possible I missed a discussion regarding the first question above on this site at some point over the last 12-months, but I don't recall ever seeing it come up on any kind of retrospective of the Texans' 2009 season -- here or anywhere else.
This question came to me a couple months ago, and I've half-wondered about it but never really followed it through. But now with Clark's recent injury, I thought this might be a good time to both satisfy my own curiousity by doing some research and throw my question out there on BRB to gauge other people's opinions. Did OD's injury kill the Texans' 2009 season?
You see, I never heard this put out there as a theory, but when recently reflecting on the '09 season that nearly ended with a playoff birth and ruing the fact that we may have missed our best chance of making the playoffs given how easy our schedule was, this thought came to mind.
"When did he go down again?", I asked myself. "Buffalo", right. "When did we go on that 4-consecutive-intra-divisional-game losing streak that kept us out of the playoffs?", I wondered. "I think it was pretty soon after that". [Wow, writing fake conversations is definitely an acquired skill. Kudos to you MDC!]
So, was there any link to the timing of Owen Daniel's knee injury last year and the Texans' collapse? Let's take a look at the timing of events and some stats to get a better picture.
Last year Daniels went down in the first quarter of the 8th game, which was in Buffalo. We were 4-3 going into the game and here were the team's TE receiving stats through 7 games:
Receptions | Targets | Yards | TDs | Rec/Tar | Yds/Rec | Rec/Gm | Yds/Gm | |
Daniels | 39 | 55 | 497 | 5 | 71% | 12.7 | 5.6 | 71 |
Dreessen | 5 | 9 | 52 | 0 | 56% | 10.4 | 0.7 | 7 |
Total | 44 | 64 | 549 | 5 | 69% | 12.5 | 6.3 | 78 |
As we all know, OD was off to an unbelievable start. Almost reminds me of those Bagwell stats in 1994 before the baseball strike cut things short. Anywho, Daniels got hurt on his first (and only) catch of that 8th game, and we struggled to beat the lowly Bills. Casey got a couple catches in that game, but all in all, the lack of TE production in that game was a sign of things to come, as was its potential impact on our team's ability to win ballgames.
Below are the TE receiving stats for the next 4 games, all of which were against divisional opponents (wk9 @Indy, wk11 Tenn, wk12 Indy, wk13 @Jax):
Receptions | Targets | Yards | TDs | Rec/Tar | Yds/Rec | Rec/Gm | Yds/Gm | |
Dreessen | 5 | 7 | 60 | 0 | 71% | 12.0 | 1.3 | 15 |
Casey | 4 | 8 | 50 | 0 | 50% | 12.5 | 1.0 | 13 |
Hill | 1 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 50% | 9.0 | 0.3 | 2 |
Total | 10 | 17 | 119 | 0 | 59% | 11.9 | 2.5 | 30 |
You'll notice that average receptions per game and average yards per game went into the crapper, both falling to under 40% of the first 7 game averages. Just as meaningful, receptions as a percentage of targets fell a full 10%. That speaks directly to a decrease in offensive efficiency. Furthermore, with less targets per game going to TEs, it made our passing attack less multi-dimensional.
The results of those games we know all too well. The Texans lost all four games. Their scoring per game fell from 23.9 in the first 7 games to 19.8 during those 4 losses. You know what though, despite what you see above, I hate the overuse of stats in football. Teams scheme differently game to game, where and who you play are variables that shouldn't be ignored but constantly are, sample sizes are too small, etc.
My point here is simply that the lack of one of our key offensive weapons and the source of one of our main tactical advantages seems to have submarined our team in the short-term -- possibly in part because (a) we didn't have a replacement for him, (b) we weren't able to successfully alter our offensive game plan and (c) we were playing the three teams that knew us the best who consequently were able to adjust their game plans much faster than non-familiar opponents.
Here are the stats from the final 4 games, all of which were victories:
Receptions | Targets | Yards | TDs | Rec/Tar | Yds/Rec | Rec/Gm | Yds/Gm |
Dreessen | 16 | 23 | 208 | 1 | 70% | 13.0 | 4.0 | 52 |
Casey | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0% | 0.0 | 0 | ||
Hill | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0% | 0.0 | 0 | ||
Total/Average | 16 | 23 | 208 | 1 | 70% | 13.0 | 4.0 | 52 |
So Dreessen seems to have morphed into OD v2.0 over these last 4 games. Receptions per target was all the way back, and while the last two metrics weren't quite as good as OD's averages, it seems the passing offense found its TE option again which helped open up the passing attack for the wideouts. Team scoring went all the way up to 27.8 points per game over this period. In short, we eventually were able to move past the shock of losing OD and find ways to win games.
Now, I'm not a full time writer (obviously!) or analyst, so I haven't explored all of the other factors that could be pointed to as causes for the mid-season losing streak. I'm sure there are a multitude of other variables may have come into play here. Historical ineptitude in divisional games, other significant injuries during that period, and blown coaches decisions(!) would be just a few. But this just jumped out at me as a key reason that we had trouble winning some of those first games without OD.
So my first question to the audience is, do you agree with this theory, have an alternate explanation that is more probable, or possibly just don't give a rat's ass since that's all in the past? To those with that last opinion, I would counter withmy second question. Does having Dallas Clark go down after only 6 games with stats just as productive as Daniels' from '09 (70% receptions/target, 6.2 receptions/game, 58 yards/game, 3TDs) spell trouble for Manning and the Colts? I sure hope so but I won't bet on it.

About FAQs
What is this section about?
This section provides a wealth of information about skinfoto as we tried our best to anticipate your questions to ensure that you have an outstanding skinfoto experience.
General FAQs
Who will be able to see my photos?
You and only You! You control who sees your photos. skinfoto is designed to provide a private, secure place for you to store your photos.
What is skinfoto?
The skinfoto website and iPhone app allows you to monitor your skin conditions on the go or at home with ease. We're not playing doctor here, but we are offering you an opportunity to: upload photos, receive product recommendations, earn points for product discounts, visualize progress and measure results, learn about skin conditions, and so much more…for FREE!
What is a skindivisual anyway?
What is a skindivisual you ask? In skinfoto a skindivisual is someone who takes control of leading a skin healthy lifestyle. We make that easy to do in skinfoto by empowering you through innovative tools that are both fun and FREE! Well, mega minds at MIT made this possible. Upload your photos now to begin your journey towards becoming a skindivisual.
Is skinfoto free?
Yes. skinfoto is free! Speechless, I know. You're thinking to yourself, my mother always told me nothing in life is free…so how could this be? Well, great news! We spoke to your mom (not really) and decided that you deserve it, because after all you are a skindivisual. Right?
Do I have to buy products from skinfoto to use the skin analysis tool?
Nope! It's your lucky day or 365 of those x many years in the near future (or until we say so, which probably won't happen…so enjoy!).
How accurate is skinfoto?
How accurate? Well pretty darn good. skinfoto is a pretty good indicator of the severity of your skin condition, as it uses proprietary imaging algorithms developed by some really smart people (I'm talking MIT smart!). However, there are numerous factors that determine the accuracy of skinfoto. The key to ensuring the most accurate results is to make sure you read all of the FAQs on taking a good photo. Just a reminder, skinfoto is a fun tool and should never take the place of advice from your physician or healthcare provider.
Is skinfoto a diagnostic tool?
No. Nein. Nai. Não. Niet. skinfoto is a pretty good indicator of the severity of your skin condition, but does NOT and should not be used to diagnose your skin condition. Not to sound like a parrot, but skinfoto is a fun tool and should never take the place of advice from your physician or healthcare provider.
Taking Good Photos FAQs
What concerns can I analyze?
You can analyze acne, wrinkles, redness, hyperpigmentation, melasma, stretchmarks, and scars.
On the first step of uploading a photo of your concern, a sample photo will come up which is a good example of what that concern looks like.
How should I take the photo?
Photos should be in .jpg format, and up to 5MB in size.
In general, higher resolution leads to a better analysis.
What about the lighting?
Good lighting is important! We recommend taking your photo indoors in a well lit space. Try to avoid lighting which creates shadows in the photo. Also, try to be consistent; take your photos in the same place with the same lighting each time.
What about cropping and zooming?
It's important that after cropping your condition is well represented in the photo. For photos of the face, please use the cropping step of the upload process to crop your photo from the hairline to the chin. For photos of other areas, please try to zoom in as much as possible. For a long scar, it's better to zoom in on one part of the scar than to try to fit the whole scar in the frame.
For those analyses which require annotating the condition, how should I do so?
Click and move your mouse over the image to "paint" areas of concern. Avoid "painting" hair into the region of concern. For scars, "paint" over the scar including a little background skin.
Anything else to keep in mind?
For facial photos, please try to keep both ears in the photo. Don't tilt your head or smile broadly. Keep your mouth closed. Try to keep your facial expression the same in all photographs for better comparison over time.
Skin Analysis Tool FAQs
How often should I upload a new photo of my skin?
Part of being a skindivisual is putting you in control of your skin care. With that, you can upload as often as you would like. There are no set guidelines for the frequency of uploading new photos. Just remember that some products take days to see results, whereas others may take months.
What does my score indicate?
- We have setup an index score ranging from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating least severe (green) and 100 indicating most severe (red).
- The index score was created by skinfoto to be used as an easy to use scale to help quantify your skin condition. It helps make it easy for you to track, whether you're scores are not improving, staying the same, or improving.
- The essence of skinfoto is that all scores assigned are unbiased and impartial.
- This index score was created by skinfoto and should not be used in place of direction by your physician or healthcare provider.
I think I look better, but my score on skinfoto indicates that my condition is worse?
You could easily be right! Accurate results require accurate photos. Please be sure to closely follow the instructions in the FAQ section titled taking good photos.
How will my progress be tracked?
Visit the progress section of your user dashboard, to learn more (you must create an account in order to track progress).
Can I treat and track multiple skin conditions via skinfoto at once?
Simply add new albums, to track the progress of multiple skin conditions.
What's the difference between the hyperpigmentation and the melasma analysis?
Both analyses measure discoloration, but they give different types of feedback. The hyperpigmentation module is sensitive to small brown spots such as freckles, and measures the overall prominence (based on number and intensity) of the spots. The melasma analysis is meant for larger dark patches that often occur on the cheeks and it reports the overall darkness of the patch relative to the background skin.
Shopping and Product FAQs
I purchased products from skinfoto.com, but my skinfoto scores haven't improved?
There are many reasons or possibilities as to why your scores haven't improved or are getting worse:
- Accurate results require accurate photos. Please be sure to closely follow the instructions for taking good photos
- Following product instructions is critical in achieving the desired results. Please make sure you follow the product instructions as recommended by the manufacturer
- Skin care products are really individualized and as you know, not all products work for all people. Please visit the shopping policies link on the homepage for additional information.
- It's possible that you're skin condition could be getting worse for some reason related or unrelated to the use of the product. Discontinue use and as always, please consult your physician or healthcare provider for questions or concerns.
I am currently using product(s) purchased elsewhere (not from the really cool skinfoto store) and haven't noticed any improvement in my scores?
See above. If the product in question was not purchased directly from skinfoto.com, the shopping and return policy does not apply.

Valeria Lukyanova makes 'Space Barbie' documentary for VICE
Valeria Lukyanova made headlines last year when her "real-life Barbie" Facebook photos and YouTube videos went viral. She later paired up with Anastasiya Shpagina, a "real-life Anime" girl, and then posed for V magazine.
Now she's back in the news because she's made a documentary for VICE called "Space Barbie: My Life Online," which explores how Valeria thinks she might be from space (seriously) and how passionate she is about mysticism.
She says in the video, "For along time, I thought I was from Venus. ... I was around 12 to 13 years old. I used to see subtle worlds. I saw different spirits from other dimensions. But when I realised that no one else sees them, I got frightened."
It's quite a trip.

Shanghai-based investment group D'Long in late June confirmed it has signed a contract for the rights to the suspended Fairchild Dornier 728 program, but an eventual relaunch of the 76-seat jet remains far from certain. According to J.
Switzerland's Ruag has acquired Saab's space business (Saab Space, based in Gothenburg), including its subsidiary, Austrian Aerospace, for 335 million Swedish Krona ($56 million) and additional consideration based on future performance. Saab said that it has "not been able to achieve sufficient synergies with other operations within Saab," although the division was "well managed and profitable."
Ruag (Booth No. 1313), the Swiss technology and defense corporation, has created or acquired six business aircraft maintenance and service establishments in Switzerland and Germany since its inception in 1999. It has now announced the setting up of a maintenance network linking the different shops into one operational unit called Ruag Aircraft Services Network.
For the upcoming European football championship, jointly hosted by Switzerland and Austria, the Zurich police department has decided to supplement its crowd control systems using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) supplied and operated by the Swiss air force as observation platforms. Light drones are cheaper to fly than manned aircraft and will free helicopters for other tasks such as carrying personnel.
Bombardier Aerospace has added three new business aircraft service facilities to its international support network. Arkia Maintenance of Tel Aviv, Israel, and Metrojet of Hong Kong, China, have been named Bombardier line maintenance facilities, and Ruag of Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, has been named an authorized service facility.
Fairchild Dornier on December 20 sold its Airbus components manufacturing and general maintenance businesses to Switzerland's RUAG Aerospace after weeks of intense competition between the Swiss firm and the Russian partnership of Irkutsk Aircraft Works and Basic Element.
Swiss defense and technology group Ruag has decided to relaunch production of the Dornier 228, the 19-seat regional turboprop its defunct developer stopped building in 1998. The company has scheduled airframe assembly to start next year and deliveries to begin in 2010.
Ruag Aerospace calls its Super Ranger the first UAV built in accordance with the new international UAV Systems Airworthiness Requirements and Stanag 4671 rules.
AirCell's Axxess satellite communications system has gained European certification aboard a Cessna Citation 650. Performed by Ruag Aerospace in Germany, the installation obtained approval last month from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Axxess system includes two Iridium satcom channels for making voice calls and transmitting low-rate data in flight.
Swiss group Ruag Aerospace is here at EBACE (Booth No. 1470) hot on the heels of its purchase of Pilatus Aircraft's (Booth No. 700) TSA Transairco subsidiary in early April. The sale, the price of which was undisclosed, is retroactive to January 1.
The new owner said it intends to retain all 115 of Transairco's employees and the management team headed by CEO Jason Mulcock.

BURN-E (character)
25,132pages on
this wiki
this wiki
BURN-E (which stands for "Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer") is seen briefly as a welder robot in the 2008 Pixar film WALL-E, when WALL-E and EVE fly around the Axiom starliner and re-enter the ship through a door, locking him outside. BURN-E is then seen banging his fists against the door, ultimately realizing that he has been locked out.
BURN-E is also the title character of a parallel spin-off short from the film. This short was produced at the same time as the movie and was directed by the feature film's lead animator, Angus MacLane (who also supplied BURN-E's voice). The short movie is included as a bonus feature on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of WALL-E and has since also been aired on TV as well. BURN-E features music composed and conducted by J.A.C. Redford, who was also orchestrator on WALL-E.
- His face was designed to look like a welder's mask.
- In the DVD extras, it says that he is reassigned to the Lido Deck on s'mores night.

St. Louis County Police Implement Marking System in an Effort to Deter Theft
47 days ago
ago by
News Editor
For Immediate Release
In an effort to reduce the amount of copper related burglaries and thefts, the St. Louis County Police Department is implementing a copper/metal marking system. With copper, A/C unit and component burglaries having increased dramatically over the past several years, the St. Louis County Police Department is beginning a program that allows the Department of Housing and Urban Development, banks, school districts and private real estate owners to participate in where copper piping, furnace and A/C units would be marked with the address of the property to which it belongs. Using an invisible marking system, it would be possible to identify the location these components originated from when the material is taken to the scrap yard and viewed under UV lighting. Currently, the local scrap yards have been collecting the required data and identification from individuals who scrap copper. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to tie stolen copper and A/C components to the suspects who burglarize homes and businesses to obtain these materials.
The system utilizes a permanent invisible marker that will mark metal products and is only visible under ultraviolet fluorescent lighting. Currently, a number of area landlords, property managers and school districts are in the process of marking copper in their rental units. A total of 27 businesses so far have agreed to begin using the system.
While this system was originally developed primarily for use on copper piping, the system can also be used on many other items such as bicycles, golf clubs and even electronic components. This system makes it easier to identify the owner and get the items returned to their custody. The markers will first be made available to business owners, property owners and residents in the North County Precinct. As more equipment becomes available, the program will be expanded throughout the county.
Business owners or homeowners who want to utilize this system should contact Detective Matt Crecelius at 314-438-4634 or the North County Precinct at 314-615-4297.

George Osborne's message is 'growth is up, up, up'
There is little doubt that George Osborne wanted the headline of the Autumn Statement to be; 'growth is up, up, up'.
Read the full storyThere is little doubt that George Osborne wanted the headline of the Autumn Statement to be; 'growth is up, up, up'.
Read the full storyGeorge Osborne has moved to distance himself from Boris Johnson after the London Mayor suggested society is unequal because many people have low IQs.
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show this morning, the Chancellor said he did not agree with everything Mr Johnson said and stressed the importance of education to spread opportunity.
Delivering the Margaret Thatcher lecture last week, the Tory mayor appeared to mock the 16% of "our species" with an IQ below 85 and urged more action to help the 2% with an IQ above 130.
Simon Harris reports from Holborn station:
Following the announcement that seven government departments have provisionally agreed to reduce their budgets by up to 10%, underground and business leaders are urging the Chancellor not cut funding for major tube projects.
They say schemes like the planned £250 million makeover of Holborn station are vital.
Holborn serves the 'midtown' business district but is closed several times during rush hour because it can't cope with its 100,000 passengers a day.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been seen wiping away tears during Margaret Thatcher's funeral.
The Bishop of London told an anecdote from Baroness Thatcher's time as prime minister and George Osborne was seen shedding a tear before wiping it away and laughing with David Cameron and the rest of the congregation.
An angry stay-at-home mother attacked the Deputy Prime Minister during his weekly radio phone-in on LBC 97.3, accusing him of thinking what she did was a "worthless job".
The caller, named as Laura from East Dulwich, said to Nick Clegg: "I'm just wondering why the coalition is discriminating against mothers like me who care for their children at home, with the latest announcements?"
Read: The full story on the £1,200 childcare cost pledge
Her scathing attack came after it was announced in the Budget that a tax-free childcare scheme worth £1,200 a child for parents earning up to £150,000 would come into effect from 2015.
There was some good news in the Budget if you are trying to buy a home in the capital.
The Government says it can help buyers with finding the money to get on the property ladder. But people who rent may still struggle.
Simon Harris reports.
The London mayor Boris Johnson said he "warmly welcomed" the Chancellor's announcement that homebuyers would get help to get loans.
