BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced today that EMC Greenplum has officially qualified Attunity RepliWeb for Enterprise File Replication (EFR) and Attunity Managed File Transfer (MFT) with EMC Greenplum Hadoop (HD). Attunity RepliWeb for EFR and Attunity MFT were designed as high-performance, easy-to-use solutions for automating, managing and accelerating the process of making data available for Big Data Analytics with Hadoop. The Attunity products, launched earlier this year, are the first and only solutions currently qualified by EMC for Greenplum HD.
Hadoop, the open-source programming framework for large-scale data processing, has rapidly emerged as one of the leading solutions for Big Data analytics across unstructured data. However, the efficient and timely movement of Big Data into Hadoop continues to be a major challenge due to the exploding amounts of unstructured and machine-generated data that companies generate daily from various, disparate sources. The Attunity EFR and MFT solutions help enterprises that want to capitalize on Big Data analytics to better support decision-making and thereby improve their competitive position.
"According to results from Unisphere Research's new 2012 study, 'Big Data, Big Challenges, Big Opportunities', only 19% of organizations are completely confident that their current IT and data infrastructure will be up to the task of handling the data management requirements of Big Data in the coming years," said Thomas J. Wilson, President of Unisphere Research, the market research unit of DBTA. "Now is the time for forward-looking organizations to re-examine their data management processes and evaluate new technologies, including solutions supporting Hadoop and cloud adoption."
"Attunity is very pleased with the qualification of Attunity RepliWeb for EFR and Attunity MFT for Greenplum HD and we look forward to continuing our partnership with EMC Greenplum to ensure that the critical market challenge of the Big Data bottleneck is solved," said Itamar Ankorion, Vice President Business Development and Corporate Strategy at Attunity. "Attunity now offers a complete set of EMC Greenplum-qualified solutions for loading data to both the Greenplum Database and Greenplum HD, facilitating different types of analytic processing to enable customers to capitalize on the value of Big Data Analytics."

TrashTimer for the rescue…
That's funny, I implemented the same solution using a 3-line trash-emptying Applescript and launchd (cron's replacement in Tiger). I don't empty the trash manually anymore either. Of course I can't remember the last time I put something in the trash that I didn't intend to send there, so the "backup the trash" part of that hint wouldn't apply to me...

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what those "three lines" were...

Ladies, first let me say thank you for your continued support of our product line. You all have been such a blessing to our cause for providing natural and wholesome products for a healthy and beautiful you. You are the reason why The Tropic Isle Brand is making a positive mark in the community of health and beauty.
As always we love to hear feedback from our clients and share information that will aid you in your quest for a healthy hair, skin and body. In this blog I would like to address some questions regarding how to use and what to expect when using Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil.
Here are some of the wonderful testimonials from some of our customers who use STRONG ROOTS.
• Candiidelight: this product is wonderful! I saw result in my daughter's hair and mine also within 2wks...my hair is thicker, stronger at the roots and healthy! I've been on Castor oil for yr and my hair has never been more healthy than it is now...I've used the pimento oil for 2 months and it has the same effect as the Jamaican [Black Castor] Oil,[it's] just a bit faster in hair growth. I love this product and will continue to use them on my family hair.
• Elveda: wow this is a great product I use this twice a week and it has made hair grow on my hair line that I thought would never grow I can't recall when I brought this but it's almost finished I will order another one next week. it does work on thinning hair.
• YourLuckyDay: Oh My God! It does exactly what it says on the tin! i used it once during a deep condition and oh my god. Shedding stopped literally over night!! I need to save up and buy a whole batch to be shipped over! So impressed. I will buy again and highly recommend
• Cyrus: The Red Pimento Oil is INCREDIBLE!!!!! I am seeing results, my light patch on my head is starting to fill in and thicken up. I think by the time I finish the bottle, the problem will be rectified. And just to the think, the dermatologist suggested Rogaine....LOL... Yeah right... Rogaine has nothing on your Red Pimento Oil. Has anyone else responded with any results? This thing is fabulous.
Strong Roots can be applied daily or every other day as the hair is in its natural state with no other chemical or additives to cause stress and tension. Apply strong directly on the scalp and massage for a minute or two to aide with penetration and circulation of the scalp.
Perm/Textured Hair
Strong Roost is best used as a hot oil treatment once per week prior to wash. You may choose to use this product twice per week but no more than twice. Please apply small amount to scalp ONLY gentle massage for one to two minutes. Note that perm and textured hair are exposed to the stressors of harsh chemicals. Such hair needs the greatest of care to maintain a balanced healthy hair as much as nature allow.
Apply to scalp once per week prior to wash (if this is not possible) apply to scalp once the weave and or braids have been removed. Please note that weaves and braids cause a lot of stress on the scalp and gives way to poor circulation hence the risk hair loss is great.
• All Hair types can use strong roots as a hot oil treatment once per week prior to shampoo. Please ensure your shampoo is sulfate free for optimal results. Our Black Castor Oil Shampoo is sulfate free
• In a hurry or just want a quick hair treatment to rejuvenate your hair apply strong roots to the scalp massage as usual and then do a condition wash immediately. This is my girl on the run method…smile
• Use sulphate free hair care products, stay away from beauty products with sodium hydroxide. Some of these products leave the hair in a poor state.
• Mix a small amount of strong roots to your favorite hair grease and apply to scalp.
• Apply Strong Roots to scalp after hair wash and condition regiment is completed, then apply leave in condition…this is best used for natural hair.

Delhi, Haryana fail to qualify
Delhi and Haryana quashed each other's hopes of a Final Round berth by playing out a 1-1 draw from which neither could profit in their Group A tie of the North Zone in the 68th Santosh Trophy here at the Ambedkar Stadium on Monday.
Abhishek Rawat put Delhi in front in the first half only to see his goal being cancelled out by Haryana central midfielder Vikram who converted from the spot four minutes into the hour mark.
The hosts had their goalkeeper to blame for his indecisiveness from a corner kick in the 63rd minute when he failed to first collect and then clear a tame floater and slapped the ball into the outstretched arms of stopper back Manish Tyagi.
Vikram converted from the spot in the 64th minute to equalise, meaning Delhi finished with four points and Haryana five points. Uttarkhand, courtesy their one-goal win against Chandigarh in the other game of the day, qualified from this Group with seven points from their quota of three matches.
It took the hosts two minutes from the half-hour mark to take the lead after both the outfits had spurned two gilt-edged chances in the first quarter. For Haryana, Mandeep Singh shot straight at the goalkeeper off a Khagender Kant cross while Delhi's lone striker Ajay Bartwal failed to plant his header on a Vikas Rawat corner.
But it was left back Abhishek Rawat who put paid to his team's wait for the elusive with an exquisite first time left-footed effort from 20 yards that curled into the top left corner of the net leaving the diving Haryana custodian with no chance.
Delhi could have been two goals up by halftime had Nathani not shot wide from right-back Jagdeep Singh's put-through.
Playing a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation, Tarun Roy's Delhi looked the more confident of the two in the first period with their counterparts more reliant on long balls which failed to breach the green shirts' rearguard.
Change of ends saw Delhi reverting back to a 4-4-2 in order to protect the slender lead. But their ploy backfired after a sustained spell of pressure from Haryana saw Delhi's Ayush Rai lose his cool under the bar.
Failing to collect the ball from a flag kick, the lanky keeper slapped the ball but could only find the outstretched arms of one of his own inside the dreaded area. The referee pointed towards the spot and Haryana's Vikram sent Ayush the wrong way from six yards to level.

We love learning about this woman and enhancing her natural beauty with good for you glamour. To us it's important that we celebrate these natural beauties year-round. So we hit the streets of NYC, stopping real women at random and convincing them to dish their makeup secrets.

The Details: SAAKO Scarves. Handmade in Barcelona, these incredible pieces are edgy, trendy and currently at the top of my fall fashion accessory list.

What's to Love: SAAKO scarves are extremely comfortable, affordable, and add a bohemian edge to any look, making them a fantastic year-round addition to your closet. Plus, they also make great gifts!

Charlotte's Kale Chips
- 1 bunch kale, de-stemmed (can be bought at an organic grocery or health food store)
- ¼ cup raw cashews, soaked for several hours to soften
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ¼ sweet onion, chopped
- ½ tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, a vegan way to add a "cheesy" flavor)
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- To de-stem your kale, pull all of the wide, leafy green parts off of the thick stalks. Place all of these in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Blend all of your ingredients, beginning with the cashews, until a thick "paste" has formed. If you do not have a blender, you can use unsalted cashew butter and mix the remaining ingredients by hand.
- "Massage" the paste onto your kale. Take a small amount of the paste into your hands and coat each piece of kale. Continue until all pieces are lightly coated in the paste. This is not as time-consuming as it sounds, I promise!
- Here is the tricky part: figuring out how long to leave in your kale. Start by seeing how the kale looks after 10 minutes. If the paste looks slightly cooked through and the kale looks crunchy, flip and bake for another 10 minutes. If the paste has not cooked, allow them to bake on the first side for another 10 minutes, then flip and bake until done. Once you figure out this timing, you will know how long it takes for your latter batches.
- Allow the kale chips to cool, and then devour! Make your office-mates green (literally!) with envy.
How do you snack healthy?

Hi tartelettes (meet CB- tarte intern)
Hello beautiful tartelettes! I'm Charlotte, one of tarte's marketing & PR interns as well as a freelance makeup artist for the line. I'm so happy to announce that I've been given the incredible opportunity to blog about all of my favorite things – clean eating, fun exercise, the gorgeous outdoors, fabulous fashion, and most importantly: amazing makeup! tarte's high-performance natural™ products are staples in my professional kit as well as in my personal stash, and I hope that you gals enjoy them just as much!
I guess you can say that liquid lipstick runs through my veins. At age 20, my grandmother Marie moved from a tiny town nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires to NYC, which was a quite daring move in 1945. She soon found a job at a certain famed red door salon, working her way up from "treatment girl" to on-call makeup artist for numerous NYC socialites and celebrities. She later left the salon to freelance, painting the faces of Marilyn Monroe, famed 60s supermodel Verushka, and the Beatles, all whilst working on national campaigns for major cosmetic and hair companies. Her whirlwind career inspired me; from the time I was a young girl, I wanted to be a makeup artist. At age fifteen, I began working on editorial photo shoots in NYC, and I continue to update and improve my portfolio to this day.
What attracted me to tarte, at first, was their huge array of products that are not only pretty (both in the packaging and on the face!), but that they're formulated without many harmful ingredients, such as parabens and phthalates. The fact that they're vegan is also a major plus – as an animal-lover, it breaks my heart to think that many commercially-available cosmetics are tested on animals. tarte's "green beauty" philosophy suits my lifestyle to a tee – and I hope you gorgeous girls feel the same way! I'm so happy to have the opportunity to be here and share my experience with you.
Peace, love, and health!

tarte loves TOMS
Our office is obsessed with TOMS shoes. As an eco-friendly company, we truly appreciate brands that have a real mission, and TOMS does so much more than just sell shoes.
TOMS shoes are not only stylish and comfortable for gallivanting around the city, but every pair purchased buys a pair for a child in need: one for one. Blake Mycoskie the founder of TOMS, traveled to Argentina where he found children of this country had no shoes to protect their feet. So vastly taken by this issue, he created a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. I mean, how incredible is that?!
Many children all over the world grow up barefoot which puts them at risk of contracting diseases that can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Barefoot children also can't attend school because shoes are a requirement. And the domino effect begins: If they don't have shoes, then they don't receive an education. These children don't have the opportunity to excel to their highest potential. One small change can make a BIG difference.
So not only are these shoes eco-chic, but more importantly they are giving back to people in need.
What do you think of TOMS? Does a company's mission matter to you when deciding on what product to purchase (shoes in this case)?

When tarte met BabyCakes…
For those of you who have not already met, let me introduce you to BabyCakes, NYC's (& LA's!) most-celebrated vegan bakery. This fantastic sweet shop offers all your favorite treats from cupcakes and brownies, to their signature (must-try) cookie sandwiches. Although all of their organic goodies are free of gluten, wheat, soy, casein, egg and refined sugar, they certainly don't taste like it! Yesterday we had an office birthday (Happy Birthday Kate!) and celebrate we did with a cake plate piled high with BabyCake's cupcakes in the dreamiest of pastel colors (a la 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). What's sweeter than red velvet frosting? The fact that BabyCakes is just a 10 minute subway ride from our office (score!) Located in the super-hip lower east side at 248 Broome Street (between Orchard and Ludlow), it's our ultimate snacking destination. Be sure to stop by if you happily find yourself in New York. Say goodbye to your prior notions of "crunchy granola" health food and hello to beautiful, colorful cookies and cupcakes that are impossible to resist!

NAPLES, Fla. - Naples restaurant Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar explains how to select and prepare the best seafood.
Abel Gonzalez, executive chef, suggests when choosing fish, to look for clear eyes, gills that aren't green or slimy, flesh that springs back when pressed, and a clean smell. Fresh fish shouldn't have an overly "fishy" or ammonia smell, he says.
Gonzalez, who has been with the restaurant for 10 years, hand selects and inspects all seafood prepared there.
Shellfish, such as mussels, should be clean with closed shells, Gonzalez says.
Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar is located 4270 Gulf Shore Boulevard North inside the The Village on Venetian Bay.
More information on the restaurant is available on its website.

The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee surprised everyone when they gave BYU a 10-seed in the West Bracket. On Thursday, the Cougar Cagers will square off against the Oregon Ducks. Should BYU upset Oregon, then they are capable of making a run in the NCAA Tournament. Today, we take a look at the West bracket and what lies ahead of BYU should they beat the Ducks.
The West bracket is deeper than it looks on the surface, therefore, I don't like BYU's chances very much to move forward in the Tournament. Arizona and Wisconsin are the top 2 seeds in the tournament. When looking at the other regions, I think that this is the weakest 1-2 punch of them all. Arizona and Wisconsin are both good teams, but I don't think either of them reaches the Final Four.
Creighton and Doug McDermott are an underrated third seed. In tournament play, one elite scorer can carry a team a long ways. McDermott has the ability to take over a game and carry Creighton on his back. Should BYU make it to the Sweet 16, McDermott is the type of player that would kill a Kyle Collinsworth-less BYU team.
San Diego State, Baylor and Gonzaga are the 4, 6 and 8 seeds. Both teams have given BYU trouble in the past. Both teams are as talented this year as they have been in recent years.
Oklahoma State is healthy and unsuspended for the first time this year. The Cowboys have depth, a lot of talent and an elite caliber player in Marcus Smart. Personally, I like the 9-seed Cowboys to reach the Final Four. If BYU does (If it happens, I'll be speechless) meet Oklahoma State it would be in the Elite 8. I don't think that BYU has the athleticism to keep up with a team like this.
BYU definitely has their hands full in the West Bracket. But, without a win tomorrow over the fast-pace Oregon Ducks, they won't get a chance to face any of these teams.

Urgent Appeal
17 August 2005
UA-144-2005: SRI LANKA: A pregnant woman died due to the negligence of hospital staff
SRI LANKA: Right to life; Medical negligence resulting in death
Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received another case of death cased by negligence of hospital staff.
According to the information received, Ms. Deepika Prasadhi Jayasuriya (31) died while delivering a baby at the Kethumathi Maternity Hospital due to the alleged negligence of hospital staff on 23 July 2005 (Click to see the victim's photo: Photo 1). The Visiting Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (VOG), Dr. U.D. Pushpananda Rathnasiri, who was in charge of the victim from the beginning of her pregnancy, appeared at the hospital more than 3 ? hours after being informed that the victim's condition was complicated. According to the regulation, he should have gone to the hospital within 20 minutes of being contacted. In addition, the circumstance of the victim's death is unclear. Ms. Jayasuriya suddenly died despite the hospital staff's assurances to her husband that her condition was not serious and was manageable.
In the meantime, the hospital has neither taken disciplinary action against the concerned VOG nor made an apology or compensation to the victim's family. Meanwhile, the police have not taken any action to investigate the incident, despite the victim's husband having made a complaint at the Panadura Police Station on 23 July 2005. As a result, VOG Rathnasiri continues his work as usual.
This is yet another case related to the negligence of hospital staff. (Please see the other cases: UA-77-2005, UA-67-2005, UP-51-2005, and UP-56-2005). Please write a letter to the relevant local authorities to immediately investigate the incident and take disciplinary/legal action against the Kethumathi hospital staff and the said VOG.
Urgent Appeals DeskAsian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
Name of the victim: Ms. Deepika Prasadhi Jayasuriya (deceased), 31-years-old, resides in Batahena, Morontuduwa, Sri LankaAlleged perpetrators: Staff of the Kethumathi Maternity Hospital, Panadura, particularly Visiting Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (VOG), Dr. U.D. Pushpananda RathnasiriDate of incident: 23 July 2005
Details of case (as narrated by the victim's husband, S.A. Munasinghe):
On 20 July 2005, S.A. Munasinghe admitted his pregnant wife, Ms. Deepika Prasadhi Jayasuriya to the Kethumathi Maternity Hospital in Panadura for the delivery of their first child. This was on the advice of the Visiting Obstetrician & Gynecologist (VOG) Dr. U.D. Pushpananda Rathnasiri, who was in charge of Ms. Jayasuriya from the beginning of her pregnancy. S.A. Munasinghe recalls that the doctor assured him that his wife was in good health and that she would have a normal delivery.
On the morning of July 23, Ms. Jayasuriya was taken to a delivery room. Mr. Munasinghe asked the hospital staff several times about his wife's condition at around noon and they repeatedly assured him that Ms. Jayasuriya was "doing fine".
According to P. Nandani Perera, the duty nurse that day, she resumed duty around 1:00pm on July 23, inspected Ms. Jayasuriya and gave her medicine to induce the delivery. Then the house officer (HO) arrived and conducted a pelvic examination and informed the Senior House Officer (SHO) who again conducted another pelvic examination. The SHO then informed VOG Rathnasiri of the results, presumably because there might be some complications in the delivery. However the said VOG failed to arrive. The hospital staff then attempted to use the 'vacuum system', but failed to bring about delivery. They then used forceps and forcibly delivered the baby at around 3:10pm. But Ms. Jayasuriya began to bleed profusely. The hospital staff tried to stop the bleeding but failed to do so. Ms. Jayasuriya was transferred to the operating theatre around 5:10 pm. Mr. Munasinghe said that he tried to touch his wife or at least speak with her, but it appeared that she was unconscious. The concerned VOG had yet to arrive at the hospital. The nurse said that she was unaware of what happened or who took charge of the patient thereafter.
Around 5:30pm when Mr. Munasinghe enquired after his wife's condition again, the hospital staff simply told him that there was a slight injury to the victim's blood vessel but this was nothing to be worried about. When he requested that his wife be transferred to another hospital, due to her precarious condition, the staff assured him that the hospital was equipped to handle her situation.
According to Mr. Munasinghe, it was only around 6:45pm - that is more than 3 ? hours after being informed by the hospital that the victim's condition was complicated - that the VOG Rathnasiri arrived at the hospital. Ms. Jayasuriya died at 7:10pm. It is alleged that VOG Rathnasiri did not come to the hospital immediately after being informed about the victim's condition because of his private practice. However, the concerned VOG gave a lengthy description during the inquest of the many attempts which he made to revive and save the victim's life between 6:45pm and 7:10pm. The Medical Officer of Health (MOH), Panadura, informed Mr. Munasinghe that the concerned VOG had to come to the hospital within 20 minutes after contacted by the hospital. Mr. Munasinghe believes that his wife might have survived if the VOG presented himself in time.
On the night of July 23, Mr. Munasinghe complained to the Panadura Police Station about the incident, but the police have yet to take any serious action to investigate the case. The hospital authorities have not enquired into the incident nor taken any disciplinary action against the VOG. As a result, VOG Rathnasiri continues his work as usual.
Later the inquest into Ms. Jayasuriya's death was conducted by the Panadura Coroner who heard evidence from the duty nurse and the errant VOG. The coroner issued an open verdict until the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) determined the cause of death. However, the JMO intimated he could only arrive at the cause of death after the Government Analyst's report on the deceased' tissue samples were sent to him. It is feared that this will be needlessly postponed. Mr. Munasinghe also expressed his concern that there will be attempts to conceal the truth behind this case, or that it will be dragged into oblivion.
The AHRC is deeply concerned by this death caused by the negligence of the hospital staff. This is not the first case of medical negligence on the part of hospital authorities at the Negombo Base Hospital. The AHRC has reported several similar cases this year (See further: UA-77-2005, UA-67-2005, UP-51-2005, and UP-56-2005). We urge an immediate investigation be conducted into the negligence of the Kethumathi hospital staff and the said VOG related to the victim's death. Appropriate action must be taken against the VOG and the hospital authorities accordingly.
SUGGESTED ACTION:Please send a letter to the persons listed below demanding that an immediate enquiry is held into this matter and that a proper action is taken against the concerned doctor and hospital administration for their error.
Sample letter:
Dear __________,
Re: SRI LANKA: A pregnant woman died due to the negligence of hospital staff
The young woman mentioned above passed away at the Kethumathi Maternity Hospital on 23 July 2005, whle attempting to deliver a baby, due to the alleged negligence of hospital staff. I was shocked to learn that the concerned Visiting Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Dr. U.D. Pushpananda Rathnasiri, who was in charge of the victim from the beginning of her pregnancy, arrived at the hospital more than 3 ? hours after being informed by the hospital that the victim's condition was complicated. In principle, visiting doctors must attend to the hospital within 20 minutes after being contacted. The negligence of the said VOG directly lies to the responsibility of the hospital authorities as he is an employee of the hospital. The hospital authorities should further take responsibility for the victim's death as she was in their custody at the time of incident.
However, I am aware that the hospital has neither taken disciplinary action against the concerned VOG nor made an apology or compensation to the victim's family. Meanwhile, the police have not taken any action to investigate the incident, despite the victim's husband having made a complaint at the Panadura Police Station on 23 July 2005.
I therefore urge you to order an immediate inquiry into this incident and take legal/disciplinary action against the concerned doctor and hospital staff. I especially urge the Ministry of Healthcare, Nutrition and Uva Wellassa Development and the Sri Lankan Medical Council to hold an immediate disciplinary inquiry into this errant VOG and take appropriate disciplinary action against him. I also request you to ensure that the victim's family receives adequate compensation.
I look for your action in this matter.

Have you seen my YouTube episode about our national monuments? Here's a little Episode Extra to let you dig into the science a little deeper. You know, "dig"? Get it?
Abraham Lincoln was born 350 million years ago, floating in an ancient ocean that covered what is now the western United States.
I'm talking about Abraham Lincoln the statue, of course, not Abraham Lincoln the former President of the United States. Lincoln, and the memorial that he currently sits in, are carved from the desiccated, metamorphosed skeletons of gazillions of long-dead sea creatures.
The Lincoln Memorial, like the nation that Abe presided over, has a rocky history.
We begin our journey on Earth, 1.7 billion years ago. Most of our planet was covered in shallow seas. Anything that was alive was single-celled, and probably living in water, photosynthesizing away, exhaling oxygen into the atmosphere, because really, who needs that stuff? Thankfully, we eventually figured out a way to use that waste product to be alive and stuff, so, thanks!
Around this time, Colorado formed. I don't mean Colorado, the rectangular cartographic delineation that will one day become the 38th state of the Union. I mean the actual terra firma, the chunk of crust that became Colorado. The earliest rocks that have been found beneath the state date to this aquatic era. These are not the rocks that Lincoln is carved from.
Lots of stuff happened over the next several hundreds of millions of years that, well, we simply don't have time to talk about.
Here's some highlights, though: Barren supercontinents like Rodinia broke up and migrated into new and improved supercontinents, land masses began to host life on a larger scale thanks to Earth's helpful new ozone layer/radiation shield, and eukaryotes joined the party, quickly diversifying into things like insects, plants and amphibians.
But as recently as 340 million years ago, the ocean was still the place to be.
One of those oceans, warm and shallow like a YMCA kiddie pool, stretched over the entire western chunk of North America. It was teeming with tiny, single-celled plankton of many kinds, like these foraminifera, who house themselves in ornate suits of armor made of calcium carbonate:
As these creatures succumbed to the mortal coil, their shells sank to the ocean floor. After hundreds of thousands of years, that calcium carbonate piled up and was pressed into chalk, and that chalk became sheets of limestone several kilometers thick.
Rocks made from (formerly) living things! That'll teach you not to take chalk for granite.
Quick diversion for the Brits in the audience: A similar shallow ocean covered the area that is now England, teeming with similar chalky plankton called coccolithophores, although I assume they spoke with a slight accent. Their calcium-rich remains piled up as well, eventually becoming the Cliffs of Dover! Southern England is made of dead stuff. Except Dover's cliffs are only ~80 million years old, compared to 340 million years old for Colorado, so who's got history now?! BOOM.
Anyway, we have to fast forward past a bunch more of Earth's history because I've got stuff to do. Over the next couple hundred million years, the Ancient Rocky Mountains were thrust up thanks to plate tectonics, eroded away completely, were submerged beneath another ocean, and finally thrust up, up, and up three more times, finally becoming the Rocky Mountains we know and ski on today.
That thick marine limestone was further metamorphosed into Yule Marble by heat from deep inside the Earth. Huge stone blocks that used to be on the bottom of an ocean were quarried from sites than a mile above sea level, then sent by train to Washington D.C. Just look at this stuff:
It was completed in 1922, but the Lincoln Memorial began its life more than a quarter billion years ago. Every fleck of smooth white stone, from beard to boots, used to be a free-swimming organism. And although monuments like this allow us to expand our existence beyond our wee life spans, it too will return to dust.
It's a gneiss story, no?
Geology pun count = 4. Paleogeologic map of North America during the Mississippian Period (top) by Ronald Blakey/CPGeosystems. If I made any errors, I apologize, I'm not a geologist and accept all fault. Make that 5.
EDIT: I originally said that the Colorado limestone came from coccolithophores, which doesn't match geologic timeline. Fixed that.

Mixed Emotions for Jersey Shore Marathon Runners [AUDIO]
Monday's Boston Marathon has special meaning for some Jersey Shore participants after last year's deadly bombings at the finish line.
Monday's Boston Marathon has special meaning for some Jersey Shore participants after last year's deadly bombings at the finish line.
Innocent people are sometimes arrested, but if their mugshots or rap sheets are posted on websites before charges are dropped or they are acquitted, it can ruin their reputations. Some shady website operators know this, and are actually charging arrested people not to post the embarrassing information.
The calendar says mid-April, everything is turning green, the birds are singing, and yet in many parts of New Jersey there are reports of increased influenza-like illness.
A drop in temperatures and light snowfall this week followed a recent stretch of warm weather. But growers of "Jersey Fresh" produce say they're not concerned about a cold snap damaging their crops...yet.
If you've been feeling the pinch at the grocery store checkout, you're not alone. The prices of many staples have been on the rise and could be increasing even more.
Patience is running out and frustration is ramping up for New Jersey victims of Superstorm Sandy, according to the latest Monmouth University-Asbury Park Press poll.
Tax Day is here. If you have not filed yet, you have until midnight. More New Jersey residents have chosen to file electronically this year than ever before.
A 2 percent cap on salary increases that arbitrators can award for public employees expired March 31 and Gov. Chris Christie has been using his Town Hall meetings as a vehicle to rail against the Democrat-controlled Assembly for not talking action on a bill to extend the limit.
Two New Jersey lawmakers are moving ahead with a plan to require all Garden State companies to offer workers at least five days of paid sick leave.
The proposed expansion at Monmouth Park racetrack has the potential to be very beneficial to communities throughout Monmouth County.
Seaside Heights was once home to the wild antics of Snooki and The Situation, but the borough is looking to shed that image and become a more family-friendly destination.
It's not against the law in New Jersey for drivers to flash their headlights to warn motorists of a police speed trap ahead, but that doesn't mean cops aren't handing out summonses.

pandora radio is like a subsititute best friend.
seriously though, you pick a station and essentially you chose a mood for the conversation. then, pandora plays songs - or speak to you - using (more or less) the exact tone that you would like to hear.
but, speaking of friends; i would like to take this time to voice my disappointment - my hurt - in the fact that one of my only good friends from high school has yet to comment or notice my breakup. i felt like this is something she, as a good friend, should notice - especially since my ex and i have complied with all the aspects of social-networking breakups; changed our profile pictures, went from "in a relationship" to "single", removed our special anniversary date, etc. but, she has yet to notice. and, as selfish as it sounds, its hard to only be her friend throughout all of her unnecessary drama with her scumbag boyfriend. luckily, her absence has given me the opportunity to realize (and be extremely grateful for) the truly amazing friends i have made at my specific institution of higher education :]

Catching a Snowflake
This is what snowflakes really look like.
Snow researchers (seriously, how cool of a job is that?) in Utah have developed a high-speed camera set-up that captures images of snowflakes as they fall from the sky. It gives us a nearly three-dimensional view of these tumbling crystals of frozen water vapor, and may help refine weather and storm predictions.
That's not the coolest part, of course. What I find fascinating is that our image of a "snowflake" as a single hexagonal crystal, with infinitely-varied fractally frozen arms, is completely wrong. More often than not, they're imperfect clumps of randomly branched ice.
The old rule of "no two snowflakes are alike" still holds, it just got a lot more complicated.

Jupiter Moon Conjunction
— January 21 @ 8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. ET
A waxing gibbous moon (78% illuminated) will pass within less than a degree to the south of Jupiter high in the evening sky. For reference, your closed fist held out at arms length covers 10 degrees. These two won't get that close again until 2026.
Those of you in South America will be able to see the occultation or Jupiter pass behind the moon completely.

When humans eventually travel to the Red Planet, the voyage will be long and difficult. The simulated Mars500 mission showed that every detail must be planned, including diet and sleep. The findings will also benefit those of us who stay behind.
Mars500 locked six "marsonauts" in a simulated spaceship near Moscow, Russia for 520 days, the time it would take to fly to Mars and back plus 30 days spent exploring its surface. During their simulated mission, the crew lived in isolation without fresh food, sunlight or fresh air.

The Mystery of Einstein's Last Words
On April 17th, 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an aneurysm, which had previously been reinforced by surgery in 1948. Einstein refused surgery, saying: "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.
Before Einstein passed away in his sleep that night, Einstein uttered his final words to the nurse caring for him. In a tragic loss to history, he said these words in German - a language that the nurse did not speak. At the time of his death, the physicist was writing a piece, which ended abruptly mid-sentence, "Political passions, once they have been fanned into flame, exact their victims…"

At an average distance of 2.8 billion miles from the sun, Neptune generates more heat itself than it absorbs from sun. That heat creates massive storms and winds going up to 900 miles an hour.
A new human coronavirus (hCoV) has emerged recently in the Middle East. The disease it caused resembled that seen from SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) which was the source of a fatal epidemic in 2002/2003.
A study published today, Dec 11, has determined that this new hCoV has many potential hosts & could pass from animals to humans repeatedly. Researchers compared receptor sites used by this new coronavirus called hCoV-EMC and those used by the SARS-CoV to reach their conclusions.
The results implicate that the new virus might use a receptor that is conserved between bats, pigs and humans suggesting a low barrier against cross-host transmission.

For Haitians, Cholera Remains a Major Public Health Problem
It's been two years since a cholera epidemic first swept through Haiti, infecting hundreds of thousands of people who'd never before encountered the disease. It was clear that cholera was likely to be a recurring issue in Haiti, but even today, new patients cannot be certain that they will get the treatment they need, and little has been done to improve the environmental conditions that enable the continued spread of the disease.
MSF has treated 12,000 cholera patients in five cholera treatment centers since the beginning of the year. During the recent spike of new cases in May, MSF treated more than 70 percent of the total number of patients registered in Port-au-Prince.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.Steve Jobs (via yourpalmal)

More Vintage Photographs Colorized
Many of the most defining photographs ever taken were shot in black and white film, before color emulsions became commercially available in the 1960's. While these images are moving in monochrome, inspired individuals dared to reimagine these shots by manually colorizing them, giving the visuals a vivid makeover.

Next MeeGo TV platform may boost connected sets
A software platform developed for TVs by the Meego open-source community, expected next month, will allow service providers to combine pay TV, app stores and consumer home content in one set-top box.
A software platform developed for TVs by the Meego open-source community, expected next month, will allow service providers to combine pay TV, app stores and consumer home content in one set-top box.
Supporters of the MeeGo open-source platform put tablets, in-car systems and TV in the spotlight at a conference in San Francisco on Monday, saying the technology had broad potential while downplaying its role in smartphones.
April has turned out to be a stellar month for Linux.
Facebook, HP, Rackspace, Juniper, Fujitsu and dozens of other organizations have joined a group building a defensive patent portfolio to protect Linux-using members from potential lawsuits.
IBM may have made the open source Linux OS a staple of its software line, but the company is keeping its own DB2 database proprietary, a company official said on Wednesday afternoon.
The Linux Foundation on Wednesday kicked off what will be several months of celebrations in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Linux operating system with a range of festivities and events as well as key news announcements from three of its working...
The Linux Foundation on Wednesday will release version 5.0 of its Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) specification, which covers capabilities such as more reliable file systems and security. CGL 5.0 is intended to address a mature marketplace in whic...
The Linux Foundation has formed a new working group to speed development within the Linux ecosystem that would make the operating system kernel more suitable for building high-availability (HA) systems, the Foundation announced Wednesday.
Two decades after Linus Torvalds developed his famous operating system kernel, the battle between Linux and Microsoft is over and Linux has won, says Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin.
The newest update to the Linux operating-system kernel features a number of enhancements that should offer a performance boost, particularly for running databases and other programs that require maximum resources from the server.
Whatever your opinion of Linux's desktop potential, few would dispute the value of the open source operating system in embedded devices such as mobile phones and personal media players. After all, it's fast, it's free, it's open source, it's customiz...
Oracle executives talked up on Thursday the planned Solaris 11 release due in 2011, with the Unix OS upgrade offering advancements in availability, security, and virtualization.
An increasing number of contributions to the open-source Linux kernel are coming from mobile and embedded equipment vendors, according to an annual report about to be released by the Linux Foundation.
What is the coolest thing for a Linux fan to carry in their pocket? Why, the new Linux Tux credit card! The Linux Foundation teamed up with UMB Bank and CardPartner Inc. to create the Linux-branded Visa card. It's pretty much your typical credit card...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

10.4: Use Automator to open chosen folder in Terminal
There is a downloadable application from Mark Liyanage called OpenTerminalHere.app. Download it, add it to the menubar of a Finder window (just drag and drop it onto the menu bar), and from that point on you can click it from any open Finder window to get a Terminal shell opened to that folder. It can be modified to use iTerm as well (I use that all the time); I'll post the details on request.
