Coldest place in the universe is shaped like a ghostOctober 25, 2013 10:20 am | News | Comments
At a cosmologically crisp 1 K (-458 F), the Boomerang Nebula is the coldest known object in the Universe—colder, in fact, than the faint afterglow of the Big Bang, which is the natural background temperature of space. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array telescope have taken a new look at this ghostly object to learn more about its frigid properties and to determine its true shape.
Scientists solve mystery of odd patterns of oxygen in solar system's earliest rocksOctober 25, 2013 8:33 am | News | Comments
Cosmochemists at the Univ. of California, San Diego have solved a long-standing mystery in the formation of the solar system: Oxygen, the most abundant element in Earth's crust, follows a strange, anomalous pattern in the oldest, most pristine rocks, one that must result from a different chemical process than the well-understood reactions that form minerals containing oxygen on Earth.
A new idea for space tourism: Balloon over rocketOctober 23, 2013 2:25 pm | by Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
The latest space tourism venture depends more on hot air than rocket science. World View Enterprises announced plans Tuesday to send people up in a capsule, lifted 19 miles by a high-altitude balloon. While it's not quite space, the plan requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees commercial space.
Asteroid expert says surveillance is key to survivalOctober 21, 2013 8:07 am | News | Comments
For the threat of meteor strikes large or small, early detection is key, and evacuation may be the only defense needed within the next 1,000 years, according to an asteroid impact expert. The best investment in asteroid defense is not in weapons to deflect them, but in telescopes and surveys to find them.
Managing the deluge of big data from spaceOctober 18, 2013 10:44 am | News | Comments
For NASA, data pour in every day like rushing rivers. Spacecraft monitor everything from our home planet to faraway galaxies, beaming back images and information to Earth. All those digital records need to be stored, indexed and processed so that researchers can use the data to understand Earth and the universe beyond. Now, software engineers are coming up with new strategies for managing such large and complex data streams.
The sun also flips: 11-year solar cycle wimpy, but peakingOctober 17, 2013 7:55 am | News | Comments
In a 3-m-dia hollow aluminum sphere, Cary Forest, a Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison physics prof., is stirring and heating plasmas to 500,000 F to experimentally mimic the magnetic field-inducing cosmic dynamos at the heart of planets, stars and other celestial bodies. Ninety-three million miles away, the sun's magnetic field is churning and undulating as the star experiences the height of the so-called solar maximum.
Curiosity confirms origins of Martian meteoritesOctober 16, 2013 2:40 pm | News | Comments
Earth's most eminent emissary to Mars has just proven that those rare Martian visitors that sometimes drop in on Earth really are from the Red Planet. A key new measurement of Mars' atmosphere by NASA's Curiosity rover provides the most definitive evidence yet of the origins of Mars meteorites while at the same time providing a way to rule out Martian origins of other meteorites.
Jupiter-bound craft running normally againOctober 14, 2013 9:22 am | News | Comments

A clearer look at Martian cloudsOctober 8, 2013 8:30 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
At first glance, Mars' clouds might be mistaken for those on Earth. Given what scientists know about the Red Planet's atmosphere, these clouds likely consist of either carbon dioxide or water-based ice crystals. But it's difficult to know the precise conditions that give rise to such clouds without sampling directly from a Martian cloud. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now done the next-best thing.
New theory to explain seeds of life in asteroidsOctober 2, 2013 7:43 am | News | Comments
A new look at the early solar system introduces an alternative to a long-taught, but largely discredited, theory that seeks to explain how biomolecules were once able to form inside of asteroids. In place of the outdated theory, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute propose a new theory to explain the ancient heating of the asteroid belt.

"Transformer" star discovered with x-rays and radio wavesSeptember 27, 2013 8:47 am | by Francis Reddy and Barbara K. Kennedy, Penn State | News | Comments
A fleet of orbiting x-ray telescopes has been used by an international team of scientists in the discovery of a "millisecond pulsar" star with a dual identity. The star readily shifts back and forth between two mutually exclusive styles of pulsed emissions, one in x-rays, the other in radio waves. The discovery, the scientists say, reveals a long-sought intermediate phase in the life of these powerful objects.
Water for future Mars astronauts?September 27, 2013 7:55 am | News | Comments
Within its first three months on Mars, NASA's Curiosity Rover saw a surprising diversity of soils and sediments along a half-kilometer route that tell a complex story about the gradual desiccation of the Red Planet. Perhaps most notable among findings from the ChemCam team is that all of the dust and fine soil contains small amounts of water.
China unveils its first and unnamed moon roverSeptember 26, 2013 2:21 pm | News | Comments
Chinese scientists described the country's first moon rover on Wednesday and invited the global public to come up with a name for it.

Observations reveal critical interplay of interstellar dust, hydrogenSeptember 26, 2013 9:13 am | News | Comments
For astrophysicists, the interplay of hydrogen and the clouds of dust that fill the voids of interstellar space has been an intractable puzzle of stellar evolution. The dust, astronomers believe, is a key phase in the lifecycle of stars, which are formed in dusty nurseries throughout the cosmos. But how the dust interacts with hydrogen and is oriented by the magnetic fields in deep space has proved a theoretical challenge. Until now.

NASA rover finds no hint of methane in Mars airSeptember 20, 2013 12:55 pm | by Alicia Chang, AP Science Writer | News | Comments
NASA's Curiosity rover hasn't discovered any signs of methane in the atmosphere of Mars, a finding that does not bode well for the possibility that microbes capable of producing the gas could be living below the planet's surface, scientists said Thursday. On Earth, most of the gas is a byproduct of life, spewed when animals digest or plants decay.

Well its not POS Vista lol : )
CPU Speed question (x2 vrs x4)
If I buy a 3ghz CPU with Dual core or quad core
is that 3ghz process power devided between cores ? or multiplied by cores?
Would a quad core 3ghz chip be like running 4 x 3ghz chips
and a dual core be like running 2x 3ghz chips?
or is it a total of 3ghz split between the 2 and 4 cores ?
Im just trying to get a realitive power difference between dual core and quad core.
Im pretty sure its just a single ghz devided into the cores, 3ghz total, no matter how many cores. but i figured id ask in case I was wrong.
I own gta4 on a dual core 2.7ghz CPU and it runs pathetically, I may never buy rockstar crap again because of it.
Wasnt sure just how important upgrading to x4 over this x2 I have, or if i should just get a x2.
or should I stop what im thinking and go with Quad core no matter what?
A dual core 3.0 ghz would be stronger than a 2.8 ghz quad core right?
ASRock > Products > N61P-S
sorry about multi posts. Im running this mother board.
ASRock > Products > N61P-S > CPU Support List
and this is the list of CPUs it can run with.
Im trying to decide between higher GHZ or quad cores.
Also, im not sure which bios version im running yet, it looks like id have to flash the bios before some of these chips work maybe.
|My System Specs

Not really. A duo core is 2 processors whereas a quad core is 4 processors. In that respect you can do twice as much with the quad core as you can a duo core.
Yeah in single apps the 3gig is faster, but in multi-tasking the quad core is the better chip.
"Would a quad core 3ghz chip be like running 4 x 3ghz chips"
Basically yes.
Eidt: Have a look through this: Intel Core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2011
Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit
But a quad core 3 ghz CPU isn't likely to do a given job twice as fast as a dual core 3 ghz CPU.
For some tasks, a dual core 3.2 ghz CPU would be "faster" than a quad core 3.0 ghz CPU. For other tasks, the quad core would complete the job sooner.
It depends on what software you are using---what specific task you are doing--what game you are playing, etc.
The trend in CPUs is toward 4 or more cores and away from 2 cores. If in doubt, I would go to 4 cores as future software is more likely to be able to take advantage of 4 cores. But if you have a special task or game that you use a lot, you might want to investigate if that particular task or game can take advantage of 4 cores. Some applications perform best on a higher ghz CPU, regardless of the number of cores.
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2011
As mentioned, it basically comes down to what software you plan to use on the system. Then it depends on the cost difference between the processors and if it is worth it to you. In your example, if the cache and speeds are identical per core, then a software app that can only utilize two cores would run nearly identical on both processors. If it was quad-core aware, then it would be much faster on the quad core.
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2011
the more cores the better! back in the day i went from a core2duo e6600 to a q6600 and the difference in gaming was night and day, and in general. even though they had the same clock speed the quad was just in a different league.
if you can afford the quad get the quad!
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2011
That would be true if and only if you had a game that was specifically quad core aware. Those are few and far between, as far as I know, but that may be changing as of now. In a game that wasn't designed for multi-cores, you wouldn't see any difference at all.

Give this a read, it's not always as clear and simple as "more is always better".
PC Gaming 101: Is Quad-Core Better for Gaming than Dual-Core? | GameFront
In general, more cores is better, especially when your application or game takes advantage of more cores. But if the game can only address 2 cores, it's best to have 2 faster cores, than 4 slower cores for that particular game.
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2011
That would be true if and only if you had a game that was specifically quad core aware. Those are few and far between, as far as I know, but that may be changing as of now. In a game that wasn't designed for multi-cores, you wouldn't see any difference at all.
However most games released now do take advantage of them, or at least run without issue, seeing how most processors today are multicore.
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2011
Personally though I'd get a quad core if I were buying a processor today. Consider what processor (speed) was out when said game game you're worried about came out. Todays processors are much more powerful then yesterday's speed demons, even at "slower" clock speeds.

Topics: Health Costs, Medicare, Medicaid, Politics
In his second news conference in a week, President Barack Obama said he is "willing to look at" a number of ways to reduce health care spending, including provider cuts and changing the eligibility age for Medicare. But he dismissed the Republican approach, saying "it's not necessary to completely revamp" Medicare to deal with the deficit and the debt ceiling.
President Barack Obama: And so during the course of these discussions with congressional leaders, what I've tried to emphasize is we have a unique opportunity to do something big. We have a chance to stabilize America's finances for a decade, for 15 years or 20 years, if we're willing to seize the moment. Now, what that would require would be some shared sacrifice and a balanced approach that says, "We're going to make significant cuts in domestic spending." And I have already said I am willing to take down domestic spending to the lowest percentage of our overall economy since Dwight Eisenhower. … It would require us taking on health care spending. And that includes looking at Medicare and finding ways that we can stabilize the system so that it is available not just for this generation but for future generations. Jake Tapper, ABC News: In the interest of transparency, leadership and also showing the American people that you have been negotiating in good faith, can you tell us one structural reform that you are willing to make to one of these entitlement programs that would have a major impact on the deficit? Would you be willing to raise the retirement age? Would you be willing to means test Social Security or Medicare?
President Obama: We've said that we are willing to look at all those approaches. I've laid out some criteria in terms of what would be acceptable. So, for example, I've said very clearly that we should make sure that current beneficiaries as much as possible are not affected. But we should look at what can we do in the out-years so that over time some of these programs are more sustainable.
I've said that means testing on Medicare, meaning people like myself, you know, I'm going to be turning 50 in a week, so I'm starting to think a little bit more about Medicare eligibility. (laughter)
Yeah, I'm going to get my AARP card soon and the discounts.
But the -- you know, you can envision a situation where for somebody in my position, me having to pay a little bit more on premiums or co-pays or things like that would be appropriate. And again, that could make a difference. So we've been very clear about where we're willing to go. What we're not willing to do is to restructure the program in the ways that we've seen coming out of the House over the last several months, where we would voucher-ize the program and you'd potentially have senior citizens paying $6,000 more.
I view Social Security and Medicare as the most important social safety nets that we have. I think it is important for them to remain as social insurance programs that give people some certainty and reliability in their golden years.
But it turns out that making some modest modifications in those entitlements can save you trillions of dollars.
And it's not necessary to completely revamp the program. What is necessary is to say, you know, "How do we make some modifications?" Including, by the way, on the provider side. I think that it's important for us to keep in mind that, you know, the drug companies, for example, are still doing very well through the Medicare program. And although we have made drugs more available at a cheaper price to seniors who are in Medicare through the Affordable Care Act, there's more work to potentially be done there.
So if you look at a balanced package even within the entitlement programs, it turns out that you can save trillions of dollars while maintaining the core integrity of the program.

John Robinson's Circus
This 1929 photograph shows the interior of John Robinson's Circus during a spectacle, or "spec," performance of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the American circus, the spec developed as a procession that took place around the hippodrome track inside the big top, or circus tent, featuring as many of the performers and animals as the circus director was able to costume. John Robinson's Circus was especially known for its dazzling productions of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, which offered a ...
Circus Midway Scene
This 1935 photograph shows a crowd gathering on the midway of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, heading towards the entrance marquee tent. On the left is the painted banner line depicting freaks and attractions in the sideshow, an added fee attraction operating before the main show. On the right can be seen concession tents and ticket wagons. Visible behind the marquee entrance is the "free" menagerie tent consisting of the exhibition of exotic caged animals, elephants, and other lead stock. By the 1930s, the midway had become an important part of the ...
Cole Bros. Circus
This 1935 image presents a scene from a typical moderate-sized 20th-century American circus. A crowd watches as baggage wagons from the Cole Bros. Circus are being pulled over flatcars. The railcars are marked Clyde Beatty and Allen King, who were two of the more notable animal trainers of the period. Behind the flatcars are stock cars that held elephants and baggage horses. This scene was repeated daily, morning and night, in railroad yards in communities across the United States. Cole Bros. Circus was established in 1884 by William Washington Cole ...
The Uganda Journal, Volume I, Number 1, January 1934
The Uganda Literary and Scientific Society was established at Entebbe, Uganda Protectorate, in 1923. Its main activity consisted of the reading of papers and the delivery of lectures on topics relating to Uganda. In 1933 the society moved its headquarters to Kampala and decided to issue a regular publication, The Uganda Journal.

Four issues per year were published ...
Ringling Circus Winter Quarters, Sarasota, Florida
John Ringling (1866–1936), one of the seven Ringling brothers who dominated the development of the American circus in the late 19th and early 20th century, moved the winter quarters of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus from its original quarters in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Sarasota, Florida. Ringling's vision, as recalled by Fred Bradna, equestrian director for the show, in his book The Big Top, was to "lay out the quarters like a zoo, and thousands of visitors will pay to see it. I'll build an open-air ...
Bazaar of Isfahan
This photograph shows a part of the bazaar in Isfahan, Iran as it appeared in 1944. A bazaar is a marketplace or assemblage of shops where a wide variety of goods and services are displayed for trade. "Bazaar" is derived from the Persian word for "market," and many believe that the bazaar is one of the most important landmarks of Persian civilization. Archaeologists have found evidence of bazaars in different parts of Iran, and scholars have concluded that the development of cities was based on not only a rising population ...
The Celestial Threads
Yazep Drazdovich (1888–1954), a versatile figure in the history of Belarusian culture, worked in different areas of art as a painter, sculptor, ethnographer, archeologist, and teacher. One of the founders of the school of national historical painting, he was called a Belarusian Leonardo Da Vinci and a Belarusian Tsiolkovskii (after the Russian and Soviet scientist and pioneer of astronautics). Drazdovich's passionate desire to unlock the secrets of the night sky led him to formulate his own theory on the origin of the planets in the solar system. He ...
Inter-American Highway
The Inter-American Highway is the portion of the Pan-American Highway system that runs from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, to Panama City, Panama, a total of 5,390 kilometers. The First Pan American Congress of Highways took place in October 1925 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, under the auspices of the Pan American Union. The congress was followed by a program of surveys and further meetings to discuss development of an inter-American highway system. In October 1929, representatives of the Central American countries, Mexico, and the United States met in Panama to establish ...
Map of the Mayance Nations and Languages
This circa-1934 map, prepared for Maya Society Quarterly and printed by the National Printing Office, Guatemala, shows the distribution of the Mayance (Mayan) nations and languages in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, and western Honduras in the period from about 1000 to 1500. The map is based on the research of William E. Gates (1863–1940), an American Mayanist and collector of Mesoamerican manuscripts who worked for many decades on deciphering Maya hieroglyphic writing. Among the languages mapped by Gates are Maya (now known as Yucatec Maya), Cholti, Q'eqchi', and ...
Joseph Avenol
Joseph Avenol (1879–1952) was a French diplomat who served as the secretary-general of the League of Nations in the years leading up to World War II. After a career in the French Ministry of Finance, in 1923 he was appointed League deputy secretary-general, with particular responsibility for coordination of post-World War I financial reconstruction. On July 1, 1933, he succeeded former British diplomat Sir Eric Drummond (1876–1951), who had been secretary-general of the League since its establishment in 1919. Avenol took office four months after Japan withdrew from ...
Sean Lester
Sean Lester (1888–1959) was an Irish journalist and government official who held important positions in the League of Nations. A Protestant who was educated at the Methodist College in Belfast, he nonetheless supported Irish independence and was a member of Sinn Fein. Following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, he joined the country's foreign ministry and in 1929 became Ireland's representative to the League of Nations. He chaired committees attempting to resolve territorial disputes between Peru and Colombia and between Bolivia and Paraguay, and ...
Under the Auspices of the League, Saar Plebiscite
After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles placed the territories of the Saar basin, formerly part of Germany, under the administration of the League of Nations for a period of 15 years. As compensation for the destruction by Germany of coal mines in the north of France and part of the reparations Germany was to pay for the war, France was given control of the coal mines of the Saar for this period. The administration of the territory was entrusted to a Governing Commission consisting of five members chosen ...

Ratification by China of the Convention for the Suppression of the Illicit Traffic in Dangerous Drugs
The first global attempt to control the traffic in opium and other dangerous drugs (such as morphine, heroin, and cocaine) occurred via the Hague Convention, signed by 42 nations in 1912. The signatory states agreed to allow the import only of such drugs as were considered necessary for medicinal and scientific purposes. World War I broke out before the convention could be implemented, but after the war the League of Nations was entrusted with reactivating the convention. It soon became evident that in order to prevent the illicit smuggling of ...
Passport Request, Nansen Office in Berlin
The Nansen International Office for Refugees was authorized by the League of Nations in the fall of 1930 and began active operations on April 1, 1931. It was the successor to the first international agency dealing with refugees, the High Commission for Refugees, established in June 1921 by the League of Nations under the direction of the Norwegian explorer and statesman Fridtjof Nansen (1861–1930). The League Secretariat had assumed responsibility for international refugees and stateless persons and charged the Nansen office with carrying out its responsibilities in this area ...

Bombings in Spain. Petition Forwarded to the League of Nations by the International Labour Organisation, from the President of the Labour Council, Miguel Santalo
The Spanish Civil War of 1936–39 involved a prolonged revolt of forces led by Nationalist general Francisco Franco against the Spanish Republican government, which ultimately was won by the Nationalists. Under the leadership of dictator Benito Mussolini, Italy supported the Nationalists with supplies of weapons and direct military involvement. On March 16–18, 1938, Italian forces carried out an aerial bombardment of Republican-held Barcelona in support of the Nationalists, resulting in the death of more than 1,000 civilians. Shown here is a petition forwarded on March 31, 1938 ...
Bombings in Spain. Draft Reply of the League of Nations
On March 31, 1938, Miguel Santalo, president of the Labour Council of the Spanish Republic, sent a petition to the director of the International Labour Organisation requesting that the League of Nations condemn Italy for its bombardment, on March 16–18, 1938, of the city of Barcelona, which resulted in the death of more than 1,000 civilians. The Italian action was undertaken in support of the Nationalist forces of General Francisco Franco, who were fighting to overthrow the government of the Spanish Republic. Santalo argued that the bombardment contravened ...
Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Terrorism

The concluding pages of the document contain the signatures of the representatives of the states. In a few cases, reservations, either typed or handwritten, accompany the signatures. The French government had proposed, following the assassination by Croatian and Macedonian separatists of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia in Marseilles in 1934, that the League adopt a convention ...

The Arizona Cardinals released their injury report for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams and it doesn't look pretty. It all starts at the top with quarterback Kevin Kolb, who has officially been listed as doubtful. It appears John Skelton will start after all. Kolb has been unable to practice all week. As for Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, he has been listed as questionable. Kolb is not the only ailing Cardinals player though.
Listed as out for the Cards:
Safety Kerry Rhodes, tight end Rob Housler, linebacker Joey Porter, and fullback Anthony Sherman.
The questionable list is just as long:
Tight end Todd Heap, running back Beanie Wells, tight end Jim Dray, defensive end Nick Eason, and running back LaRod Stephens-Howling.
At this rate, they might call one of us to pitch in.

Private Landowners Responsible to Pay for Public Fires ?
A recent federal court ruling could result in the closure of public access now provided by private forest landowners. Large property owners such as PG&E and Sierra Pacific Industries historically allow the public to hike, hunt, ride and fish on their privately owned property. But this practice may stop after a federal court ruled that these landowners may potentially be held liable for any fire that starts on their property.
The ruling highlighted the 2007 Moonlight Fire that may end up costing the landowners and contractors working on the property almost $100 million in the estimated total value of recoverable damages, when the wildfire moved from their private lands onto public ones. Although the origin of the fire is still under dispute, a judge's ruling made it clear that the landowner may be liable regardless of how the fire was started.
According to David Bischel, President of the California Forestry Association (CFA), "Many forest landowners have allowed local communities and others access to their lands, but they are now facing extraordinary legal risk by allowing the public to recreate on their property. Our members are finding it difficult to obtain insurance and face serious potential financial consequences of an open access policy." Bischel further explained that California Civil Code Section 846 states that a landowner has "no duty of care to keep the premises safe for entry or use by others for any recreational purpose…." With this ruling the law may no longer protect private landowners from liability concerns.
This ruling, and the resulting negative effects on private landowners, may also impact local recreationists as regards smaller parcels of land. This author recalls several Planning Commission hearings where the public asked to retain access on land slated for development, where they had been using the property to ride horses or hike, as part of mitigations the Commission could apply if they were to approve the project. Debate ensued about who would be liable for any accidents that might occur and California law was cited as providing protections for the property owner. Such requests may be a moot point under this ruling.

A Morgantown native, Braham received little recruiting interest from the Mountaineers. His dream was to wear Gold n' Blue, and he walked-on to his hometown program in 1990. He took over the starting left tackle job by the end of his freshman season. After that, he started every game for the rest of his college career, earning All-American and All-Conference honors during his senior season.
He went on to play 13 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals at guard and center. Braham is still the benchmark in which all new Bengals' centers are compared. In 2007, he was elected to the WVU Sports Hall of Fame.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Michael Vick? Geno Smith? New York Jets coach Rex Ryan knows who he wants as quarterback for his limping team. Ryan jokes they're "gonna go with that Bumgarner guy." Madison Bumgarner is the San Francisco Giants ace and World Series MVP. Bumgarner secured the Giants a Game 7 series victory with a five-inning save. He had two series wins as a starter, too. The Jets are 1-and-7 this season, including seven straight losses. Bumgarner likely won't be available for the Jets on Sunday, so Ryan says he's going with his own lefty, Vick.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- It's Jack versus George in Tennessee -- in a battle over the legal definition of Tennessee whiskey. The parent company of Jack Daniels supports the law that includes requiring Tennessee whiskey to be made from 51 percent corn, aged in new charred oak barrels and a minimum of 80 proof. The British corporate parent of George Dickel contends those regs are too restrictive. A state subcommittee heard testimony on the issue yesterday. Lawmakers are expected to consider changes to the Tennessee whiskey law in January.
DALLAS (AP) -- He's an awfully big newborn -- six feet tall and about 120 pounds. But this big, little guy has an even taller mom. The Dallas Zoo has a new giraffe. The healthy male calf was born Sunday and the birth was announced Wednesday. The calf doesn't have a name yet. The Dallas Zoo's giraffe herd has now grown to a dozen.
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City has five new residents. They're orphaned coyote pups who have a new home at the Queens Zoo. The animals were rescued in Massachusetts, where they were taken to a wildlife rehabilitator. Now, the coyotes have their own exhibit in Queens. The Wildlife Conservation Society's Queens Zoo specializes in animals from the Americas. The pups are the only coyotes on exhibit there.

Born in South Africa, lived in New York City for twelve years, and now together with my wife Cathy and three kids, call Philadelphia home.
Having planted and pastored All Souls Christian Church in Manhattan for twelve years, I am now pursuing a Ph.D (ST) at Westminster Theological Seminary.
I am passionate about Christ and his gospel, and I am often found thinking about the importance of sound theology and its corresponding relationship to the church, its mission and context. The focus of my theological research is in the area of trinitarian studies.
I enjoy playing golf, the occasional entrepreneurial book, and good music. You'll often find me with a book or kindle in hand, but more that, I enjoy spending time with my family.

SkyCeiling installations in MRI suites feature RFfreeLux LED systems, which give the illusion of nature, helping relax patients. (larger image)
Need a change of scenery? The Sky Factory's Luminous SkyCeilings™ and Luminous Virtual Windows™ are photographic illusions of real skies and natural scenery that fit into standard ceiling grid systems and walls. The windows and ceilings use fluorescent or LED lighting that illuminates the images from behind to trigger relaxation.
Luminous SkyCeilings are available in large elliptical, rectilinear, and circular shapes, as well as smaller, personal ceiling sections for individual workstations. They come in a variety of sizes and can be used in both institutional and commercial environments. One special type of ceiling, the MRI Luminous Ceiling, expands the confined atmosphere of the MRI suite in a hospital into a comfortable healing environment. Combining the effects of natural imagery with the therapeutic quality of bright RFfreeLux™ LED lighting, the ceiling helps calm patients during the radiological procedure.
Virtual Windows transform windowless walls into depictions of natural beauty. They are designed for flush installation, surface mounting, or double facing for viewing from two sides. A unique edge-lighting system allows for a slim design (1¾ inches thick) with even light distribution, and several styles of wood and aluminum trim elegantly complete the window illusion. The printed image is sandwiched between the diffusion panel in back and the protective acrylic covering on the front. Edge lighting with either daylight-balanced T-5 fluorescents or RFfreeLux LEDs allows for the unit's shallow depth while maintaining even illumination of the image.
For more information, visit: www.theskyfactory.com
Above: Luminous Virtual Windows are often configured in pairs or sets, enhancing the 3-D effect. (larger image)Below: Luminous Virtual Windows are available in many landscape images as well as such specialty subjects as deep space.

I'm with Damon on this one. I like Valasquez as the dog and as a straight up pick. I'm reminded of how Couture was able to scramble to his feet twice from underneath Lesnar. Add to the fact that Valasquez has an unlimited gas tank, is a bigger guy, and can actually threaten Lesnar on the feet unlike Randy could do.

This is pretty neat Bruno do they do one for all major MMA events or just UFC?
Bruno: not sure.
- Enscribe October 21, 2010
Damn Bruno, Thank You. You still fairing pretty well this year? I saw you post a while back that you had done well so far this year. I'm kicking myself for not throwin down on Condit last weekend, that could have made my month.
- juniordoslightsout October 21, 2010
Brock round one tko. I like Cain but he's a monster I think if anybody Has a chance it's Dos Santos.
- juggernautakira October 21, 2010
Damon had a fat face and it looked like someone photoshopped someone elses lips onto him. Poor fattie.
- Danby October 22, 2010
I think carwin is the only one to have a chance with lesnar. Dos Santos had problems with big country. Lesnar would eat him. Velasquez is going to get taken down and pounded with those big mitts of lesnars until the match gets stopped.
- d October 23, 2010
I hate to be cynical but if i was betting based on the ufc's future business plans … Shields is a lock they just brought him in for a future title shot …and the ufc needs a new market (Mexico) alot of cartel money down there
- jasonicus October 23, 2010
What's with the two midgets talking about betting odds? Couldn't they find better looking people? Can Damon even move his head?

10.3: Print from Windows XP to a shared Mac printer
Thanks for the info, but I'm still having problems. When I browse for the printer, I can find the name of my Mac but it doesn't show a printer attached to it. I tried entering in the name of the printer in the box above the listing of computers, but it didn't work; I tried it with both the name I created for the printer and the "que name" that Panther shows in the "show info" box in Printer Setup. I do have windows sharing and printer sharing checked on. I do have SMB activated in Directory Access.

LYNN - Lynn Vocational Technical Institute students came home winners, picking up a Gold Standard Award and a silver medal during the state's SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Conference.
"We only missed the gold (medal) by two points," said LVTI's SkillsUSA Advisor Jason McCuish.
McCuish, along with three students, Kevin Gomes, Megan Hansen and Eric Villanueva, traveled to Marlborough over the weekend where they presented a community service project in the statewide competition.
At the opening ceremony, LVTI was awarded a Gold Standard Award for its community service efforts, McCuish said. He said the award recognized the school's strong commitment to the community, which includes volunteering at the Connery School-based food pantry, creating care packages for the Lynn Shelter Association, as well as work done last year on its Park Renovations Project, to name a few.
In addition, Gomes, Hansen and Villanueva took home the silver medal in a separate community service competition, McCuish added.
"Outstanding Vocational Technical Student Award"
Our student winner Eric Villanueva-Rosa, Automotive Technology
is joined by Ricardo Torres, President-Elect of MVA and a teacher at Worcester Tech. and Pati Gregson, Associate Commissioner at DESE.
This award recognizes those students whose scholastic and career/vocational-technical technical achievements have significantly contributed to their local school district and thus to the total career/vocational-technical technical education delivery system in the Commonwealth.
Almost 1,000 Lynn eighth grade middle school students visited our school recently. This is the third year we have offered the tour to students who are considering attending LVTI.

The participants included students: Saly Vongsa, Kaymarie Pizzaro, Robin Fuentas, Nykeva Patterson, Linda Uth, Julie Kong, Amariliz Hernandez, Meilissa Mendoza. Also on the trip were staff: Bonnie Carr, Co-op Coordinator; Sally Glowik, Guidance Counselor at Lynn Tech.; Steve Lopez, Culinary Instructor at Lynn Tech.

Talk to your student and ask "what did you do in school today?" everyday.
In addition, should you have questions or issues of concern, I encourage you to e-mail or call. It is very important to me that the lines of communication between all members of our school be open and available.
Together we will make Lynn Vocational Technical Institute the best vocational school in the state. I look forward working with you in the future.
Diane M. Paradis, B.S.,M.ED
