As of Tuesday, July 16, 2013

Gwinnett Daily Post
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Seconds after Brookwood grad Sean Johnson's spectacular save maintained a scoreless tie, the U.S. Men's Soccer National Team got the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute from Brek Shea in a 1-0 victory Tuesday night against Costa Rica.
The Americans' victory clinched first place in Group C of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, giving them a top seed for the upcoming quarterfinals. Cuba also advanced to the quarterfinals as one of the best third-place teams after beating Belize by four goals.
After easy wins over the other two group opponents, the U.S. was tested for the first time by Costa Rica in a rematch of their snowy World Cup qualifier back in March, which the Americans also won 1-0.
Roared on by the home crowd at Rentschler Field, the U.S. was in control for most of the match and got the breakthrough in the 82nd minute when Landon Donovan found Brek Shea through the middle and he completed a nice left-footed finish. It was Shea's first-ever international goal.
The winning play was set up with Johnson's brilliant save off a corner kick, followed by Joe Corona's clearance to set up Donovan's right-side run.
Costa Rica finished the group in second place on six points and will meet Honduras in the quarterfinals, while the U.S. faces El Salvador. The Americans were the only team to go through the group stage with three straight wins and are trying to win the Gold Cup for the first time since 2007 after enduring back-to-back defeats to Mexico in the 2009 and 2011 finals.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Radiopaque agents are drugs used to help diagnose certain medical problems. They contain iodine, which absorbs x-rays. Depending on how they are given, radiopaque agents build up in a particular area of the body. The resulting high level of iodine allows the x-rays to make a "picture" of the area.
The radiopaque agents are used in the diagnosis of:
Radiopaque agents are taken by mouth or given by enema or injection. X-rays are then used to check if there are any problems with the stomach, intestines, kidneys, or other parts of the body.
Some radiopaque agents, such as iohexol, iopamidol, and metrizamide are given by injection into the spinal canal. X-rays are then used to help diagnose problems or diseases in the head, spinal canal, and nervous system.
The doses of radiopaque agents will be different for different patients and depend on the type of test. The strength of the solution is determined by how much iodine it contains. Different tests will require a different strength and amount of solution depending on the age of the patient, the contrast needed, and the x-ray equipment used.
A catheter or syringe is used to put the solution of the radiopaque agent into the bladder or ureters to help diagnose problems or diseases of the kidneys or other areas of the urinary tract. It may also be placed into the uterus and fallopian tubes to help diagnose problems or disease of those organs. After the test is done, the patient expels most of the solution by urinating (after bladder or ureter studies) or from the vagina (after uterine or fallopian tube studies).
Radiopaque agents are to be used only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:

Q: What is the Huffington Post's Comment Policy?
A: Community and Commenting Guiding Principles
The Huffington Post has a thriving user community and actively encourages commenting on news stories and blog posts. We are dedicated to this community and strive to maintain a respectful, engaging and informative conversation. Towards that end, we have general guidelines for commenting. They are enforced 24/7 by a moderating system that features a team of staff and community moderators, and moderation tools. If you wish to participate in the community, we ask that you follow the guidelines below and the spirit of the community they seek to create.
(I) If your comments consistently or intentionally make this community a less civil and enjoyable place to be, you and your comments will be excluded from it.
The Huffington Post promotes a receptive, transparent and civil atmosphere for comments and users. Critical, in-depth and intelligent discussions and debates are encouraged and the best of these are highlighted in various ways, such as through the Community Pundit program. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to voice their opinion regardless of identity, politics, ideology, religion or agreement with other community members, the author of the post or staff members as long as those opinions are respectful and constructively add to the conversation. However, this community does not tolerate direct or indirect attacks, name-calling or insults, nor does it tolerate intentional attempts to derail, hijack, troll or bait others into an emotional response. These types of comments will be removed from the community where warranted. Individuals who consistently or intentionally post these types of comments will be warned and, if necessary, excluded from the community.
(II) Many comments are pre-moderated.
To maintain a civil atmosphere, our moderation team may read comments before they are displayed to other users. If this is the case, you may see your comment pending approval. Approval times can vary depending on the site-wide comment load, so please be patient -- we will get to all comments as quickly as possible.
(III) The community monitors itself, in conjunction with the core moderation team - and you can help! Every member of this community has the power and responsibility to help elevate the level of conversation and remove the trolls who would degrade it. On every comment, you can "Fan and Favorite" (F&F) users who are posting great content, or flag a comment for review by a moderator. Taking these simple actions helps bring great content to the top and removes bad content quickly. Community members who consistently and reliably flag comments that are removed by our moderators may be given additional tools that will allow them to hide or remove comments entirely. We take this ability very seriously and if you see any of the "community moderators" acting inappropriately, please report them to us.
(IV) Be yourself, only yourself, and just one of yourself. Every person's opinion is valuable and unique. Pretending to be someone else removes that unique value from you or from others. Don't misrepresent yourself or others, spread mis-information, create multiple accounts or "astroturf". If you do, you will make the community a less enjoyable and valuable place to be and will be removed when we see it.
(V) This community is a safe space. We strongly believe that the Huffington Post should be a safe space for individuals, groups and their ideas. As such, violent and hostile language or calls for violence and hostility are not welcome here. If you directly or indirectly threaten the physical or mental well being of a member of this community, or an individual or group who is the subject of an article, you will be removed immediately. If a credible threat is made against an individual or group, not only will it be removed but it is likely that it will be reported to law enforcement agencies and we will cooperate with them to any extent requested. Personal identifiable information should never be posted to the Huffington Post comments section. It never turns out well for anyone. If you see any threats, harassment or personal information trolling please report it quickly.
(VI) If you have comments, we are here and we have real people who read and reply.
If you have complaints, questions, concerns, or just feedback - positive or critical - please get in touch with us here.
Q: I posted a comment. Why can't I see it on the site?
A: There are two scenarios under which your comment may not appear:
Q: Why am I blocked from commenting on HuffPost?
A: There are a few scenarios under a comment might be blocked:
Q: Can I include HTML in my comments?
A: We remove all html from comments to preserve formatting consistency.
Q: If you don't allow any HTML, how can I include a link in my comment?
A: If you include a URL in your comment, it will be converted to a link. Please note, comments containing links to personal blogs and other inappropriate sites will be deleted. Only links to relevant news stories or sites are acceptable.
Q: There is a comment that I find insulting and in violation of your policy. What can I do?
A: You can flag the comment as abusive by pressing the Flag As Abusive link below the comment. This alerts our moderators and delete the comments that don't comply with our policy.
Q: What is the "Follow" link?
A: When you find a commenter you like, you can press the Follow link next to the commenter's name. Your vote will appear on your profile page and on the profile page of that commenter. This way you can keep track of the commenters you like and those who like you. We are working on a way to alert you when your favorite commenters post new comments on the site.
Q: What does the "Favorite" link mean?
A: If you think a comment is particularly great, you can select it as a favorite. This will help us track the best commenters on the site.
Q: Can I follow a blogger?
A: Absolutely. Each blogger has their own profile page that includes their bios and a Follow link. You can find this page by clicking on a blogger's name.
Q: Can I print comments?
A: Unfortunately, there is no way to print comments right now. We are building a feature that will let you print comments but for the time being, you can copy and paste them into another program and print them from there.
Q: What are HuffPost Social Badges?
A: HuffPost Badges recognize and empower HuffPost readers and users. So far, we're focusing on these key areas of user activity on the site: connecting with others, engaging with our content, accurate flagging of abusive comments, and writing and submitting well thought-out and exceptional comments. We're highlighting these areas and recognizing the top users in them.
Q: When someone gives me a Gift Badge, how do I reciprocate?
A: The best way to reciprocate is to check out the comments they've made by going to their user profile. Find the best comments and open them by clicking the 'permalink,' then give the comment a Gift Badge.
Q: What are Gift Badges?
A: Gift Badges can be gifted from one user to another. Initially, they will only appear on comments which they are given to, but if a user receives enough of one type, it will show up on all of your comments. For more information, see this post.
Q: When someone gives me a Gift Badge, how do I reciprocate?
A: The best way to reciprocate is to check out the comments they've made by going to their user profile. Find the best comments and open them by clicking the 'permalink,' then give the comment a Gift Badge.
Q: What do each of the Gift Badges mean?
A: The Gift Badges were designed to be self-explanatory. If you are not sure what one of them means, please ask using the contact us page.
Q: Why can't I give some users Gift Badges?
A: Users who have opted out of the Badge program cannot receive Gift Badges.
Q: Why isn't the Gift Badge that I got showing up on all of my comments?
A: Gift Badges appear on comments that they are gifted to. However, if you get enough Gift Badges of one type, it will be displayed on all of your comments.
Q: Why can't I give any more badges?
A: Gift Badges are limited, but replenished one per day per user, so be sure to only gift the best comments out there.
Q: I hate HuffPost Badges! How do I get rid of these things?
A: If you don't want to participate in the Badges program (including Gift Badges), you can opt-out by editing your social preferences here:
Uncheck the box under "Badges"
Q: HuffPost Badges are awesome! How do I attain more? And how do I earn a higher Level on my Badges?
A: Aside from Gift Badges, which are given by other users, Badges are earned based on your activity on the site. If you want to attain a certain level, your activity on the site should meet the descriptions below.
Q: What's a "Networker"? How can I become one?
A: If you're well above average when it comes to being connected with friends and followers, you'll receive a level 1 Networker Badge. If you're among the most-connected users in terms of friends and followers, and if you've connected your HuffPost account to your Facebook or Twitter account, we make you a level 2 Networker, upgrade your Badge, and feature your comments in red. If you're like many users, you'll want to collect more fans and friends so you can level up! And don't forget to connect your Facebook or Twitter account to your HuffPost account.
Q: What's a "Superuser"? How can I become one?
A: If you've been busy commenting on HuffPost and sharing stories to Facebook and Twitter, we'll award you with a Level 1 Superuser Badge. If you're among the busiest, most engaged users when it comes to commenting and sharing, and if you've connected your HuffPost account to your Facebook or Twitter account, then we make you a Level 2 Networker, upgrade your Badge, and feature your comments in purple. If you're like many users, you'll want to comment and share even more, so you can level up! And don't forget to connect your Facebook or Twitter account to your HuffPost account.
Q: What's a "Moderator"? How can I become one?
A: To receive the CM badge, consistently and accurately flag abusive comments. You'll be trusted to remove inappropriate comments from the site as long as you handle the task responsibly.
Q: What's a "Community Pundit"? How can I become one?
A: You can earn a Pundit badge by consistently contributing insightful, informative, and engaging commentary. We look at our Community Pundits as conversation starters. They are being recognized for driving discussions surrounding our news coverage -- regardless of their political leanings. For more details see here.
Q: I don't understand why linking a Facebook account or a Twitter account to my HuffPost account has anything to do with Badges? Why is it a requirement?
A: Connecting your Facebook account or your Twitter account is required to advance to a Level 2 Networker and Level 2 Superuser. It is not required for any other Levels. So far, the users who have connected their Facebook or Twitter accounts have helped make HuffPost a more dynamic and interesting place. We expect this trend to continue, and want to reward users who link other social networking profiles to their HuffPost profile.
Q: Once I earn a Badge, can I lose it?
A: Yes, you can lose a Badge. If you lose too many friends or followers, you may lose your Networker Badge or be demoted a Badge level. If you disconnect your Facebook or Twitter account from your HuffPost account, your Networker or Superuser Badge might be demoted a Badge level. If your number of published comments fall because too many were deleted for being inappropriate, you may lose your Superuser Badge. If you don't maintain a sufficiently high ratio of successful flags to mistaken flags, or if you fail to use the enhanced authority responsibly, you'll lose your Community Moderator Badge.
Q: I lost a Badge and I don't know why, what happened?
A: If you're unsure why you lost your Badge, check out the FAQ above. If you're still unsure, send us a message using the contact us page.

USA Women 7s Prepare for Dubai |
Sevens - USA Sevens Women |
Boulder, Colo. -- The USA Women's Eagle Sevens rugby team will report to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. on Friday November 18 for a training camp to prepare for the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens Tournament that kicks off on Friday December 2. The 2011-2012 squad that head coach Ric Suggitt has assembled is a highly-skilled and electric group of sevens players that love to score tries. Four of the 14 players Suggitt invited to camp (Kelly Griffin, Emilie Bydwell, Katie Dowty, and Nathalie Marchino) are on the list of the top ten try-scorers at the highest level women's club competition in the United States, the Women's Premier League. The foursome scored a combined 31 tries in the WPL regular season. An exciting addition to the USA team is former soccer star and Olympic gold medalist, Natasha Kai. Kai is a dominant rugby player, gaining recognition of her rugby skills with the Hawaii Select side earlier this year in the Women's Las Vegas Sevens tournament. She was the first ever Hawaiian player to make the US women's soccer team. Some up-and-coming college stars like speedster Rebekah Siebach, Kimber Rozier, and Deven Owsiany will join the team at camp after playing for the USA Women's Developmental sevens side at this summer's Emirates Airline USA Rugby Women's All-Star Sevens Championship. Siebach, Rozier, and Owsiany were joined by Kaelene Lundstrum on the Developmental Squad, and the four youngsters combined for 22 tries in the All-Star Sevens tournament. In Dubai, the Women's Eagle Sevens will compete against Australia, South Africa, Canada, England, Brazil, China, and Spain. Following Dubai, the USA will take part in the USA Sevens (Las Vegas: February 10-12, 2012) the Hong Kong Sevens (March 23-25, 2012), and the Amsterdam Sevens (May 19-20, 2012).

Musical Monikers
When musicians land big fame, there typically comes a moment of reinvention in which the "rock star" identity is born. This new persona often requires a new name, a way to differentiate between the private and public versions of themselves. Musical monikers take different forms, from the simple, last-name changes aimed at boosting celebrity appeal—like Steven Tyler—to the glamorized version of a childhood nickname—like Jay-Z. Musicians' nicknames and aliases tend to take on an identity all their own over time, often becoming as full of personality as the artists they represent.

Imiquimod (Aldara) for WartsExamples
How It WorksImiquimod is a form of immunotherapy. Immunotherapy triggers your immune system to fight the virus causing the wart. This may destroy or shrink the wart. Imiquimod is thought to work by helping the body's immune system fight viruses, including the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes warts. It also may shrink the warts. Why It Is UsedImiquimod has been approved for use on genital warts and can be used for hard-to-treat common warts. It may be used at home after a doctor teaches you how to apply it. How Well It WorksWhether imiquimod is an effective treatment for common warts is not yet known. It does appear to be effective in curing genital warts.1 Side EffectsCommon side effects of imiquimod include:
Less common possible side effects include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.) What To Think AboutIt is not known whether imiquimod is safe to use during pregnancy or on children younger than 12. Wash your hands after applying imiquimod cream, because it may cause skin irritation. Imiquimod may be used on warts that are resistant to other treatments. It is generally used when other treatments have failed. Imiquimod treatment is expensive.

N ray
N-rays (or N rays) were a hypothesized form of radiation, described by French physicist Prosper-René Blondlot in 1903, and initially confirmed by others, but subsequently found to be illusory.
In 1903, Blondlot, a distinguished physicist who was one of eight physicists who were corresponding members of the French Academy of Science,[1] announced his discovery while working at the University of Nancy and attempting to polarize X-rays. He had perceived changes in the brightness of an electric spark in a spark gap placed in an X-ray beam which he photographed, and he later attributed to the novel form of radiation, naming this the N-rays for the University of Nancy.[2] Blondlot, Augustin Charpentier, Arsène d'Arsonval and approximately 120 other scientists in 300 published articles[1] claimed to be able to detect N-rays emanating from most substances, including the human body with the peculiar exceptions that they were not emitted by green wood and by some treated metals.[3] Most researchers of the subject at the time used the perceived light of a dim phosphorescent surface as "detectors", although work in the period clearly showed the change in brightness to be a physiological phenomenon rather than some actual change in the level of illumination.[4] Physicists Gustave le Bon and P. Audollet and spiritualist Carl Huter even claimed the discovery as their own,[5] leading to a commission of the Académie des sciences to decide priority.[6]
The "discovery" excited international interest and many physicists worked to replicate the effects. However, the notable physicists Lord Kelvin, William Crookes, Otto Lummer, and Heinrich Rubens failed to do so. Following his own failure, self-described as "wasting a whole morning", the American physicist Robert W. Wood, who had a reputation as a popular "debunker" of nonsense during the period, was prevailed upon by the British journal Nature to travel to Blondlot's laboratory in France to investigate further. Wood suggested that Rubens should go since he had been the most embarrassed when Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany asked him to repeat the French experiments, and then after two weeks Rubens had to report his failure to do so. Rubens, however, felt it would look better if Wood went, since Blondlot had been most polite in answering his many questions.
In the darkened room, Wood secretly removed an essential prism from the experimental apparatus, yet the experimenters still said that they observed N-rays. Wood also secretly replaced a large file that was supposed to be giving off N-rays with an inert piece of wood, yet the N-rays were still "observed". His report on these investigations were published in Nature,[7] and they suggested that the N-rays were a purely subjective phenomenon, with the scientists involved having recorded data that matched their expectations. By 1905, no one outside of Nancy believed in N-rays, but Blondlot himself is reported to have still been convinced of their existence in 1926.[1] Martin Gardner, referencing Wood's biographer William Seabrook's account of the affair, attributed a subsequent decline in mental health and eventual death of Blondlot to the resulting scandal,[8] but there is evidence that this is at least some exaggeration of the facts.[1]
The incident is used as a cautionary tale among scientists on the dangers of error introduced by experimenter bias. More precisely, patriotism was at the heart of this self-deception. France had been defeated by the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, and after the major discovery by Wilhelm Röntgen of the X Ray the race was on for new discoveries.
N-rays were cited as an example of pathological science by Irving Langmuir. However, the case is far more interesting than a single event, because nearly identical properties of an equally unknown radiation had been recorded about 50 years before in another country by Carl Reichenbach in his treatise Researches on Magnetism, Electricity, Heat, Light, Crystallization, and Chemical Attraction in their relations to the Vital Force in 1850, and before that in Vienna by Franz Mesmer in his Mémoire on the Discovery of Animal-Magnetism in 1779. It is clear that Reichenbach was aware of Mesmer's work and that researchers in Paris working with Blondlot were aware of Reichenbach's work,[9] although there is no proof that Blondlot was personally aware of it.[citation needed]
A park in downtown Nancy is named after Blondlot.[10] He left his house and garden to the city which transformed it into a public park. This can be seen as appropriate since he made significant contributions to physics before the N-ray debacle. James Randi reported that many citizens of Nancy and members of the faculty at the university did not remember having heard about N-rays or of Blondlot.[3][11]

Optical discs |
Optical media types
A DVD-RW disc is a rewritable optical disc with equal storage capacity to a DVD-R, typically 4.7 GB (4,700,000 bytes). The format was developed by Pioneer in November 1999 and has been approved by the DVD Forum. The smaller Mini DVD-RW holds 1.46 GB, with a diameter of 8 cm.
The primary advantage of DVD-RW over DVD-R is the ability to erase and rewrite to a DVD-RW disc. According to Pioneer, DVD-RW discs may be written to about 1,000 times before needing replacement [1]. DVD-RW discs are commonly used to store data in a non-volatile format, such as when creating backups or collections of files. They are also used for home DVD video recorders. One benefit to using a rewritable disc is if there are writing errors when recording data, the disc is not ruined and can still store data by erasing the faulty data.
One competing rewritable format is DVD+RW. Hybrid drives that can handle both, often labeled "DVD±RW", are very popular due to the lack of a single standard for recordable DVDs.
The recording layer in DVD-RW and DVD+RW is not an organic dye, but a special phase change metal alloy, often GeSbTe. The alloy can be switched back and forth between a crystalline phase and an amorphous phase, changing the reflectivity, depending on the power of the laser beam. Data can thus be written, erased and re-written.
Drive specifications[edit]
Standard DVR-R/RW compatible drives use a 650 nm red semiconductor laser diode. The average power consumption rating is 250 mW to 4000 mW. Power consumption varies depending on the write speeds and dual layer support. Higher speed drives require more power for increased data throughput, and dual layer disks require more power to penetrate to the second layer of data.
Dual layer[edit]
A specification for dual-layer DVD-RW discs with a capacity of 8.5 GB (8,500,000 bytes) was approved by the DVD Forum.[1] However, manufacturing support for rewritable dual-layer discs did not materialize due to costs and expected competition from newer and higher-capacity formats like Blu-ray and HD DVD.

Edmund Hillary was born on July 20, 1919, in Auckland, New Zealand, and took up mountain climbing. In 1953 he became the first, along with Tibetan climber Tenzing Norgay, to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. Hillary later participated in expeditions to the South Pole and was among the first to reach the top of Mt. Herschel. He also cultivated resources for the people of Nepal. He died on January 11, 2008.
"Life's a bit like mountaineering—never look down."
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
Early Life
Although he rose to great heights climbing Mt. Everest, Edmund Hillary described himself as "a small and rather lonely child." He was born Edmund Percival Hillary on July 20, 1919, in Auckland, New Zealand, to Gertrude and Percival Hillary. He was a shy child and studious, often buried in books, but by his late teens had grown to a gangly, towering 6'5". He discovered his love of climbing during a high school trip to Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand's Southern Alps.
Mountain Climber
Hillary's first major climb, at age 20, was Mount Ollivier, also in the Southern Alps. He studied math and science at the University of Auckland, but he also joined outdoor clubs, which fostered his interest in climbing as well as holistic health. Despite conscientious objections, he eventually joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force during World War II and suffered a serious burn in a boat accident.
But he had determined to climb Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, so returned to his love of mountain climbing after the war. Like their father before them, Hillary and his brother Rex became beekeepers, which allowed time to pursue the sport in the winter. He scaled New Zealand's highest peak in January 1948.
This gave him the credentials to join the 1951 British expedition to Everest. Although that failed, the ninth British expedition to Everest, in 1953, led by John Hunt, was successful. After the team carved a route through the Khumbu Icefall and the South Col, the first duo assigned by Hunt had to turn back due to exhaustion. So Hillary and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, who carried extra oxygen, were the first to summit the 29,029-foot peak on May 29, 1953, at 11:30 am.
They spent about 15 minutes at the top of the world, with Hillary photographing Norgay holding his ice ax strung with flags from Britain, India, Nepal and the United Nations. Norgay dug a hole and filled it with sweets while Hillary buried a crucifix.
The conquest of Everest was announced on the eve of Elizabeth II's coronation, and the new queen knighted Hillary when he returned to Britain.
Explorer and Adventurer
Having achieved international fame as the first to climb Mt. Everest, Hillary took up exploration. He reached the South Pole by tractor on January 4, 1958, as leader of the New Zealand division of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition. He was among the first to scale Mt. Herschel in the Antarctic expedition of 1967.
In 1968, he traversed the wild rivers of Nepal on a jetboat. He did the same up the Ganges, from its mouth to its source in the Himalayas, in 1977. In 1985, Hillary and astronaut Neil Armstrong flew a small twin-engine plane to the North Pole, making Hillary the first person to stand at both poles and the summit of Everest, which was known as the Third Pole.

IAU Symposium 273 Physics of Sun and Star Spots
Ventura, California 22-26 August 2010
The Physics of Sun and Star Spots is now behind us. Many thanks to the Local Organizing Committee, the Scientific Organizing Committee, and all the attendees who helped make it such a success!
Please see the
page for important information regarding submission of poster and oral presentations for publication in the IAU Proceedings. The drop-dead deadline is 30 September 2010.
IAU Symposium 273:
Physics of Sun and Star Spots
is being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ventura, California, USA from 22-26 August 2010. Ventura is approximately one hour drive time north of Los Angeles and the Symposium venue is the only Ventura hotel located directly on the Pacific Ocean shoreline!
Physics of Sun and Star Spots
is the first IAU symposium to bring together these two research fields in order to exchange information and promote greater understanding in each field. With plenty of past and current research as well as new instrumentation coming online, this is an exciting time for the study of both sun and star spots.
With such science topics as the formation and decay of sunspots, solar and stellar magnetism, observational techniques, and a unified approach to understanding sun and star spots, it seems only fitting that supporting IAU commissions include the following: Commission 10 – Solar Activity, Commission 12 – Solar Radiation and Structure, Commission 49 – Interplanetary Plasma and Heliosphere, and Commission 9 – Instrumentation and Techniques. The coordinating IAU Division is Division II – Sun and Heliosphere.
In addition to three and a half days of exciting science and poster sessions, the symposium will be preceded on Sunday evening by a welcome reception, giving everyone an opportunity to mingle and connect with old and new friends and colleagues. Tuesday will be a half-day science session, leaving the afternoon free to participate in a sponsored special activity, explore the local Ventura restaurants, antique shops, art galleries, museums, and historic San Buenaventura Mission, stroll the boardwalk along the shore, or just kick back and soak up some rays on the beach only a few yards from the venue's "back door." If enough interest exists among the registrants, an all-day tour to
Mt. Wilson
(where sunspot magnetic fields were first discovered 100 years ago!) will be offered on the Friday following the symposium. Wednesday night will include a banquet.
Some participants might want to attend the Cool Star Conference in Seattle the following week. What better prelude than this symposium! So check out all the information, especially those important
, start thinking about writing up your abstracts and your posters, and plan to attend the
Physics of Sun and Star Spots
IAU Symposium 273.

Syrian Activists: Air Strike Kills 18 in North
Syrian activists say a government air strike has killed at least 18 people in a residential area in the country's north, while a car bomb has killed five people in a Damascus suburb.
The activists said women and children were among those killed in Monday's air strike in the town of al-Bab. They said other people were feared dead under the rubble of damaged homes.
The activists said the car bombing in the Damascus district of Jaramana also wounded at least 27 people.
UN-Arab League Envoy: 'A terrible weight'
On the diplomatic front, international peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said in an interview with the BBC that he faces a nearly impossible task in trying to resolve Syria's 18-month conflict between President Bashar al-Assad's government and rebels fighting to end his 11-year autocratic rule.
The Algerian diplomat said he does not yet see any ways around the barriers that blocked the efforts of his predecessor, Kofi Annan, but that he will continue trying.
Brahimi says he realizes the difficulty of his task, and that success "should be possible," but that the lack of international action as people in Syria continue dying "is a terrible weight."
Annan quit last month, complaining that he could not fulfill his mission due to international divisions on Syria and escalating attacks by both Syrian government and rebel forces.
'Massive response'
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said any use of chemical or biological weapons by Assad's forces against the Syrian opposition will trigger a "massive response" from Western powers who want him to step aside.
Fabius said in broadcast interviews Monday there is broad agreement about such a response, calling chemical weapons "a very big danger."
ICRC lobbies for access
Meanwhile, the new head of the International Committee of the Red Cross was traveling to Syria for a meeting with Assad to seek government permission for humanitarian access to civilians caught up in the conflict.
In a statement released ahead of his trip, Peter Maurer said it is of "utmost importance" for the Red Cross and its local partner, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, to significantly scale up the humanitarian response at a time when more civilians are being "exposed to extreme violence." He said an adequate response is required to keep pace with humanitarian needs that have been growing "exponentially."

Only basic sewing skills are required to make this snuggly bath wrap. You'll sew three straight seams--two to create the hood and one to attach it to the "cape."
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Fold the hand-towel in half, short end to short end. Cut along the fold. Keep one half for the hood. Set aside the other half aside.

 To prevent fraying, zigzag along the cut edge or use a liquid seam sealant such as Fray Check�. Or if you like, just leave the cut edge as is. The seams will stop fraying after the first couple of washes and will not compromise the strength of the seam.
Now fold your piece of hand towel in half perpendicular to the cut edge. (See fig. 1.)
Stitch along the cut edge with a 5/8-inch seam allowance. (See fig. 2.)
Take the two free corners of the stitched towel and pull outward, forming a triangle with a point at the top (the sewed seam should be visible down the center). (See fig. 3.)
Measure 3 inches down from the point and mark with a pin. Snip the point off the hood about 1/2 inch above the pin. (See fig. 3.)
From the remaining half of the hand towel, use the printable templates to cut out the four ear pieces.
Stack two of the ear pieces, aligning their edges and with a needle and thread, sew long stitches around the curve of the ear about 1/4 inch away from the edge. Knot to secure the thread. Turn the ear right side out. Repeat with second ear.
Slip each of the ears into the opening you've just created. Hand-stitch horizontally from one side to the other, catching the ears with your needle as you stitch. (The stitch marks are shown on fig. 4.)
Use the eye templates to cut out white felt and black felt black for the eyes. Glue the eyes to the hood.
Lay out the bath towel horizontally. Center the bottom of the hood along the edge of the bath towel, then pin in place. Stitch the hood to the towel just above the towel's binding. (fig. 5.)

"Overall then, the World of Warcraft MMO Gaming mouse is a decent product. It's well built with high attention to detail. The software & in game interface are (for the most part) solid and easy to use. It's comfortable to use for an average sized hand and, possibly most importantly, the features some people would label as gimmicks are actually rather useful when it comes to playing the game that this very mouse was designed for."
"You can buy other multi buttoned mice and there are ultimately ways of getting them to perform similar tasks, however nothing can compare to the pure functionality of having 15 buttons with some of the most user friendly software we've seen bundled with a mouse. The software really is what you'd expect from an official product and makes the unit worth the price tag. Setting up custom macros and re-assigning the buttons is incredibly easy and the profiles make it easy to switch between different configurations that have been previously saved. I used the mouse in many raids and feel it would an invaluable tool to any class."
"This is a professional mouse made for hardcore gamers. Everything about this package is quality, from the box it came in to the software used to customize button mappings. I must say that Steelseries did a fantastic job and did right by the millions and millions of WoW players by crafting this mouse. I imagine other WoW players will share my sentiments."
"Everything considered, I can't go back to my old mouse when I play WoW, it wouldn't feel right having to go back to the keyboard for what I could accomplish on the mouse. This is really the best mouse I have seen for this kind of game."

: Reaching out a helping hand, SK Gaming's professional PvP player, Kwang Rock "Kwana" Park published his "Guide to using the World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse" in 2009.
Alongside the likes of Wii Fit and Guitar Hero: World Tour Kit, the World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse was 1 of 5 accessories to be nominated in the 2009 Engadget Awards.
SK Gaming's World of Warcraft EU team were appointed judges, as we in 2009 looked to pinpoint and award the best mouse setup among over 200 contestants.
While at first only customizable through the World of Warcraft branded GUI, complete in-game customization was enabled exclusively for this mouse in 2009.
We often receive positive critique wrapped in unconventional packaging. An example is CrunchGear finding the mouse to "sport more buttons than it's players have friends."
Due to popular demand, the World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse is a concrete prize item in our regular community contest initiatives with Blizzard.
GameSpot's James Yu completed the first ever product walkthrough on this mouse with us, at it world premiered at BlizzCon 2008.
The mouse played a vital role when SteelSeries became the only brand ever to win four consecutive product review Gold Awards on HardwareHeaven.

New KM4D Journal article on eLearning and stakeholder engagement
Just published in the Knowledgement Managment for Development Journal (KM4D) "Collaborative learning and stakeholder engagement: lessons and implications of the revitalization of the Continuing Professional Development policy for health workers in Nigeria", Mwaikambo and colleagues present the lessons of a multi-stakeholder project aimed to revitalize Nigeria's Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Policy for Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS).
The paper assesses the extent to which the project partners feel that the project objectives have been met as a result of participating in a variety of stakeholder engagement techniques throughout the planning and implementation of project activities. A mixed method evaluation concluded that developing eLearning courses for CPD credits made the Policy more accessible to MLS.
In addition, the evaluation concluded that the employment of the various stakeholder engagement techniques facilitated mutual learning and improved stakeholder collaboration and joint adoption and implementation of the Policy and eLearning courses. The authors conclude the paper with a number of suggestions as to how to further improve stakeholder engagement that can be adopted by other similar partnerships.
To learn more about the K4Health/Nigeria Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program, read Lisa Mwaikambo's blog.

Malaysian Kaspersky website and shop hacked. Users at risk?
20/07/2008 Written by Roberto Preatoni
The official Malaysian Kaspersky Antivirus's website has been hacked yesterday by a Turkish cracker going by the handle of "m0sted".
Along with it, the same cracker hacked also the official Kaspersky S.E.S. online shop and its several other subdomains.
The attacker reported "patriotism" as the reason behind the attack and "SQL Injection" as the technical way the intrusion was performed.
Both websites has been home page defaced as well as several other secondary pages. The incident, though appearing a simple website defacement, might carry along big risks for end-users because from both the websites, evaluation copies of the Kaspersky Antivirus are distributed to the public. In theory, the attacker could have uploaded trojanized versions of the antivirus, infecting in this way the unaware users attempting a download from a trusted Kaspersky's file repository (remember the trojan in the Debian file repository?).
The defacement mirror for the Kaspersky official website can be viewed here, while the defacement mirror of the Kaspersky's online shop can be viewed here.
Apparently, Kaspersky Labs haven't a good track record in securing their websites as by digging into Zone-H archives we discovered this long list of past incidents:

Total: 41
This long list, should ring an alarm bell to Kaspersky's administrators who should rush, in our opinion, in finding better security policies and implementations that should be applied to all their official and reseller's websites.
Nobody really care anymore if a website's homepage gets defaced, but things get different when the compromised server is the one from which security solutions are downloadable by potential customers.
Kaspersky's website seems running a custom ASP CMS, time for code review and patching?
