Automatic Takeoff and Landing
APM can automatically launch and land an aircraft, as part of a mission plan. Here's how:
Auto takeoff instructions
The basic idea of automatic takeoff is for the APM to set the throttle to maximum and climb until a designated altitude is reached. To cause the plane to execute a takeoff, add a NAV_TAKEOFF command to your mission, probably as the first command. This goal is handled slightly differently depending on what sensors are attached, but the altitude parameter always specifies the altitude that must be attained before the APM will consider its takeoff complete and load the next Must command.
The APM will initially hold the wings level on takeoff, but as soon as a takeoff heading is established, the APM will adjust roll to maintain that heading.
If you do not have a magnetometer:
As soon as the ground speed, as measured by the GPS, exceeds 3 m/s, the takeoff heading will be set to the GPS ground course. This means that, in a crosswind, the APM may turn downwind somewhat during takeoff. Sometimes, the takeoff heading is accidentally set too early and this will cause the APM to turn the plane to an undesired heading during takeoff. To minimize this problem, try not to move the plane after Auto has been engaged except to throw it in the direction of takeoff. Try not to "wind up" by moving the plane backwards before throwing it. As much as possible, try to duplicate the behavior of a catapult launcher.
If you have a magnetometer:
As soon as the ground speed, as measured by the GPS, exceeds 3 m/s, the takeoff heading will be set to the magnetometer's yaw sensor.
If you do not have an airspeed sensor:
The first parameter of the NAV_TAKEOFF command will specify the maximum pitch the APM will target on takeoff. The minimum pitch is automatically set to 5 degrees positive pitch. As the plane increases in speed (as measured by the GPS), its pitch will increase. The exact formula is:
target pitch = (GPS speed / cruise speed) x maximum pitch / 2
If you have an airspeed sensor:
The first parameter of the NAV_TAKEOFF command will specify the minimum pitch the APM will target on takeoff. The APM will adjust pitch to achieve airspeed_cruise (pitch up if airspeed is above cruise, pitch down if airspeed is below cruise), but it will not pitch below the minimum pitch set by NAV_TAKEOFF.
Auto landing instructions
To land the plane, simply add a NAV_LAND command to the end of your mission indicating the latitude, longitude and altitude of your desired touchdown point. In most cases, the altitude should be set to 0. During landing, the APM will shut down the throttle and hold the current heading as soon as the plane is within 2 seconds of the touchdown point horizontally, or as soon as the plane is lower than 3 meters above the touchdown point, whichever occurs first.
On approach, the APM will fly normally if you have an airspeed sensor. If you do not have an airspeed sensor, the APM will hold 0 pitch.
Here is an example mission around the Sparkfun building that autotakeoffs, goes around the building and then sets up a landing pattern for an autoland. Note that the waypoints kick in once the plane has reached 30m altitude after autotakeff, and that it lands at 0m altitude (altitude is given relative to home/launch altitude)
Note that in reality the above flight plan probably won't result in a successful landing in the desired area. Waypoint 5 is set with an altitude of 100 meters, and waypoint 6, which is the landing waypoint, is only a short distance away. Unless the particular airplane used has a very fast descent rate when gliding with the motor off, it will not be able to come down from 100 meters in the short distance planned here. It is more appropriate to step the altitude down over a few waypoints and make sure that the distance between the waypoint before the landing point and the landing point is sufficiently large for the altitude which must be lost. Use of automatic flap deployment can be helpful here if your airplane has a relatively flat glide angle – look under "Optional Additions".

North Shore girls varsity basketball midterm week gave the girls varsity basketball team only one game, a make-up of a previously cancelled game against the Rocks of East Rockaway.
The last time these two teams met, the Vikings pulled out a thrilling 48-47 victory; this one would not be as close.
Making defense a team priority, the girls stifled the East Rockaway offense. Outstanding perimeter defense was played by Justyne Passarelli, Liz Sheerin, Amanda Johansen, Elle Hoffman and Erin Sheerin as they held the guards of East Rock to a combined 15 points.
The glass was then dominated by Chloe Johnson (12 points, 15 rebounds) and Kathleen Lennon (9 points, 13 rebounds).
Offensively, a huge spark was provided by Jackie Gioia, with a career-high 10 points off the bench.
Overall, it was a complete defensive effort by the Vikings as they won 42-33, improving their conference record to 8-1 (13-1 overall) as they head into the last week of the season.
The final home games of the year will be on Friday, Feb. 6 at 4:30 p.m. against Sewanhaka and Senior Night is Monday, Feb. 9 at 6:00 p.m. against Island Trees.

Spotlight on the Middle East and North Africa Region
Feature story
Spotlight on the Middle East and North Africa Region
27 January 2010
The HIV epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, while seldom highlighted, is steadily growing. In 2008 there were an estimated 310 000 people living with HIV, up from 200 000 in 2001. In that same year, approximately 35 000 people became newly infected with HIV in the region.
UNAIDS Executive Director Mr Michel Sidibé is in the region to draw attention to some of the key issues which need to be addressed to deliver an effective AIDS response, calling on countries to pursue equity and human rights in their approach to the HIV epidemic.
Let's leverage the solidarity of the global AIDS response to draw closer together as a global family unit to end human suffering and stimulate human achievement.
Michel Sidibé, UNAIDS Executive Director
Stigma and discrimination remains key barriers to an effective regional response to AIDS and in many countries the criminalization of higher risk behaviors pushes affected communities underground–limiting access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services.
Given that populations at higher risk are disproportionally affected even in settings where overall HIV prevalence is low, for the good of the public health there is a need for acceptance. "Understanding is an imperative to draw those most at risk out of the shadows and enable them to protect themselves, and by extension, the entire community," said Mr Sidibé.
UNAIDS' work in the region
UNAIDS works closely with government and civil society partners in the region to advocate for the removal of punitive laws and polices that block an effective response.
In Yemen, on 29 August, the Parliament voted on a law to protect the rights of people living with HIV with the objective to reduce discrimination. This article 51 law is a major step to protect the rights of individuals living with HIV in the country.
In Egypt, an outreach programme for men who have sex with men has been initiated and in few months the project reached hundreds of people with services in a highly challenging environment. This programme is implemented by UNAIDS in partnerships with number of NGOs and with financial support from USAIDS and the Ford Foundation.
Another positive initiative was the first regional conference on Harm Reduction held in Lebanon last year. This conference was a break-through for the region and brought several experts and partners together and mobilized political support form parliamentarians, national governments and UN agencies.
Service provision for key populations is now also being expanded in the Middle East and North Africa region with oral substitution therapy for Injecting Drug Users programmes in Morocco and Lebanon. In Iran medical insurance is provided for people living with HIV and their families, where the insurance fees are completely paid buy the government. Theses success stories are significant and show investments towards universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support much needed in the region.
Highlighting Human Rights at Qatar Conference
While in the region, Mr Sidibé attended the Colloquium on the Empowerment of the Family in the Modern World held in Doha, Qatar. Hosted by the Royal Family of Qatar and the Qatar Foundation in Doha, the Colloquium brings together scholars to discuss issues such as trends and challenges affecting the family, family and rights, and families around the world.
Families offer the first defence line against stigma and isolation and as well as the primary source of care.
Michel Sidibé, UNAIDS Executive Director
"Families offer the first defence line against stigma and isolation and as well as the primary source of care," said Mr Sidibé in his key note address. The UNAIDS head also highlighted recent findings from the two year research project of the The Joint Learning Initiative on Children and HIV/AIDS. According to the report families take on approximately 90% of the financial cost of caring for infected and affected children.
Also of key concern is the freedom of movement for people living with HIV, disproportionally affecting migrant workers and their families. Qatar–as many others in the Middle East and North African region– imposes restriction on entry, stay and residence based on HIV status. Such restrictions are widely considered discriminatory and serve no public health benefit.
"Let's leverage the solidarity of the global AIDS response to draw closer together as a global family unit to end human suffering and stimulate human achievement," Mr Sidibé concluded his address.
Challenges ahead
To date, a shortage of timely and reliable epidemiological and behavioral data has hindered a clear understanding of the dynamics and trends of the HIV epidemic in the region. Although HIV prevalence remains low, populations at higher risk are often heavily affected; the epidemics in the countries of the region are typically concentrated among injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, sex workers and their clients.
Two broad transmission patterns have been identified. Firstly, many people are contracting HIV while living abroad, often exposing their sexual partners to infection upon their return to their home country. Secondly, HIV transmission is occurring within populations at higher risk such as injecting drug users or men who have sex with men, may also result in ongoing transmission to female sexual partners.
The UNAIDS 2009 AIDS Epidemic Update suggests intensified prevention efforts for the female sexual partners of men who are exposed to HIV during work abroad, drug use, sex with another man or sex with a sex worker.

BELVIDERE (WIFR) -- It will be a healthy and happy Thanksgiving for quite a few needy Stateliners, thanks to a generous donation from the employees of Belvidere's Chrysler plant. Today they donated 1,500 turkeys and all the fixings to the Boone County food pantry. To make sure it all got there safely, employees brought out a one-of-a-kind Dodge Dart police car. As an extra gift to the community, the company will donate the car to the Belvidere Police Department.
"Chief Jan Noble has been a great partner of Chrysler for many, many years. He's advised us on our Dodge Charger police pursuit vehicle, and he thought that this would be a great time to have the city of Belvidere Police Department have a Dodge Dart made here in Belvidere," said Peter Grady, Vice President of Network Development and Fleet at Chrysler Group.
The police department will use the car in parades and other ceremonial events.

Wheat variety results available
Many of the 2009 winter wheat variety test results are now available online and the rest will soon follow, said a University of Nebraska-Lincoln specialist.
Each year, UNL tests winter wheat varieties in several locations throughout the state, said Bob Klein, Western Nebraska crops specialist. Plots near Arapahoe, McCook, Imperial, Brule and North Platte provide producers with data on yield, moisture, weight, height, lodging and protein content. An additional test of irrigated wheat near O'Neill and several plots in the Panhandle and eastern Nebraska complete the performance trials.
Klein advised producers to select varieties that have done well in their local area for three or more years, but to also look at new varieties showing up for the first or second year.

Legal bookmakers in Nevada will take bets on just about anything connected with sports. If you want to put down a fiver that says the national anthem singer will finish singing in less than a minute and 30 seconds at a college basketball game in Tulsa next Thursday, somebody on Las Vegas Blvd. would likely quote you odds without a snicker.
But you probably would have got a smirk � or maybe even an outright giggle or a belly laugh � had you wagered money last October that the best two teams going into the National Hockey League playoffs in April would be the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues.�
But that�s what a team�s commitment to defence, and great goaltending, will do.
The Rangers were the better team of those two last year, barely sneaking into the playoffs after finishing eighth. They were quickly dismissed four games to one by Washington in the first round of playoffs. The Blues were worse; they finished a dismal 11th in the Western Conference, missing a playoff spot by 10 points.
Fast forward 11 months: the Blues, under coach Ken Hitchcock, who took over from Davis Payne after 13 games (6-7 record), were a huge surprise and the number one team in the West. The Rangers, riding the hot goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist and the determined coaching of John Tortorella, who won a cup in 2004 with Tampa Bay, have been the class of the East all season.
The perceived powers in the NHL � Stanley Cup finalists Boston and Vancouver, and perennial contenders Detroit and Pittsburgh � have had strong seasons, but the underdog Rangers and Blues have been even more sublime.
New York is likely to finish the season with only three 20-goal scorers (Marian Gaborik, Ryan Callahan and Brad Richards) but are riding Lundqvist and his mid-1.80s goals-against average, eight shutouts and save percentage close to .940 to win after win. Same story with the Blues, who are the only team in NHL history to have two goaltenders post at least six shutouts each in one season. When they award the Vezina Trophy this June, don�t be surprised if it�s shared by the Blues� Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliott.�
The playoffs are still about a month away, but suggesting a Rangers-Blues Stanley Cup Final is no longer accompanied by roars of laughter.
� Comedy writer Alan Ray, not surprised that Massachusetts authorities broke up a canary-fighting ring: "Usually, investigators can get one or two of the participants to sing."
� Angels manager Mike Scioscia showed up to spring training 38 pounds lighter � and with a goal to lose another 20. "I was born 10 pounds, 12 ounces," he explained to the L.A. Times, "and I've been trying to lose weight ever since."
� Comedy writer Jim Barach: �Forty-nine-year-old pitcher Jamie Moyer is trying to make a Major League comeback. Apparently he has good speed and location with the peanuts. They just need to show him how to make correct change.�
� Barach again: �Former Major League star Lenny Dykstra has been sentenced to three years in prison for car theft. He says it�s still better than being traded to the Cubs.�
� Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: �. . . Dykstra was sentenced to three years in state prison for auto theft. A disappointed Pete Rose said, �Damn, I had 150 big ones saying he�d get five to 10.��
� R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: �Rory McIlroy is now the world's number one golfer, has earnings over $5.2 million in 2012 and is dating tennis star Caroline Wozniacki. If that's the luck of the Irish, I want some.�

By titling his new show at Texas Gallery "Analog Paintings," Jeff Elrod presents the viewer a bit of a conundrum. After all, paintings are never digital. And thank god for that, because just as the Internet has so far failed to muster up its promised miracles, computers have far from revolutionized contemporary artmaking. People get excited over digitally produced imagery simply because it's digitally produced, as if that alone replaces the need for imagery that works. But Elrod has discovered that computers are better suited for the quick flow of impulses that "automatic" drawing sought to tap into than they are for minute and careful adjustments. And his computer-designed images not only work, they're a white-boy-at-the-keypad breakthrough for abstract painting.
One problem with computer art programs is an embarrassment of tools and funky special effects, which artists tend to use simply because they're there, and not because the integrity of their work demands it. By contrast, Elrod's "Analog Paintings" are analogs of images that he first created on a computer, using a graphics program's simplest tools: line, scissors, fill and, most important, speed. The results were then transferred onto huge canvases or directly onto the gallery wall using a masking technique whose exactitude you have to see to believe. The four paintings in the main gallery have an immediate graphic punch: You can walk in, make four 90-degree turns and walk out with a buzzing retinal imprint. With their flat areas of pure, modern color, these paintings are enigmatic, almost violent, versions of Matisse's paper cutouts.
Split Second, undeniably the exhibit's masterwork, is a gigantic two-panel painting done in light and medium gray, white and a hint of bright yellow that resembles the left-to-right repetition and soft palette of Robert Motherwell. The left panel has a white, boat-like form accompanied by giant, rhythmic scribbles. (Imagine what your signature looks like after you sign the UPS man's electronic tablet and you'll get an idea of the quality of the line.) The scribbles, which must have been pencil-thin on the computer screen, are now about one inch thick, every skip and false start ruthlessly reproduced. In the next panel, presumably created a split second later, the whole affair of the first panel has been obliterated by a clean, near-circular gray mass with a promising yellow nucleus. Bits of the first image peek out from behind it, squelched like the legs of the Wicked Witch of the West. It's a stunning painting, and one devoid of any expressionist whine for attention.
R.S.V.P., on the opposite wall, is somewhat less successful. White letters shuffled and laid out on an orange ground can be puzzled out to read "OVERDOSE" on one panel and, rather prudishly, "SMOKE P" on the other. Purposefully cryptic, this painting looks great, but it withholds information with no real payoff and doesn't rely on the show's real breakthrough -- the wildly fast-paced manipulation of images afforded by the computer.
Elrod's paintings don't look computery, though they do have a completely new feel. Still, they deal with the classic formal concerns of high abstraction: flatness, color, archetypal or suggestive forms. Delete, one of the paintings transferred directly to a wall, is a clunky brown fist of a form with a blue, irregularly "cut out" ball at the end, like the socket of a socket wrench. It feels a little silly to discuss a painting in terms of phallic symbolism, but with this one, it's inevitable: The word "Delete" is penned across the shape in irregular white letters, negating its halfhearted thrust.
If Matisse, as one teacher told him, was born to simplify painting, then Elrod was born to synthesize it. These paintings, with their energetic gestural scrawls and archetypal forms, are somewhere between de Kooning and Adolph Gottlieb. But since all the expressive outpouring was completed in the frenetic click-click-click of a computer session, the finished analog product is as cool and self-possessed as that of any hard-edged painter. Thus Elrod almost miraculously resolves one of Modernism's underlying tensions -- whether purity resides in the untrammeled gesture of the artist or in the absence of the artist's contaminating touch -- by incorporating both possibilities. In Elrod's paintings, precision intensifies, rather than negates, emotion.
In the gallery's foyer, Elrod presents not serigraphs or monoprints but four "unique laser prints," a group of futuristically generated images that are retro in sensibility. The Inner Me, so naively titled one feels it must be a joke, is like a '70s abstract poster lacking only the inspirational poem. Its symbolism is more direct than that of the paintings -- a tiny yellow circle, with a finger of white from the border almost touching it, is the inner Elrod. Viewed alongside the serious, refined beauty of its fellow laser prints, it quickly becomes clear that this is not a joke; sitting in front of a computer screen has stirred up simple, direct communication from an artist known for coolly appropriating imagery from video-game screens and corporate decor. And if computers can catalyze that kind of outpouring, then hey -- maybe they are good for something.

Sevierville (WVLT) -- A life threatening disease doesn't mean you can't reach for the stars.
Scenic Helicopter Tours in Sevierville believes just that and proved it on Saturday while hosting their Sixth Annual Helicopter Awareness Days event to helps to raise money for the Smoky Mountain Children's Home and East Tennessee Children's Hospital.
Part of the event allows sick children and their families to go for helicopter rides, something some families were grateful for.
"Just from the look on his face," said Dan Hickson," it thrilled him, he's wanting to go back again."
"My favorite part would have to be when he was coming in," said Alex Hickson who has Leukemia, "he took a bid swerve and was going real fast and just kind of slowed down. It was really cool."
A formal Pilots Gala was held on Saturday night tonight and the event will conclude on Sunday afternoon.
When all is said and done, organizers hope to have raised $40,000 for the two charities.

Best choice in the Tropical Coast, Andalusia, with 320 sunny days a year.Close to different beaches and old town. Free sunbeds. Superb views. Private terrace BBQ and garden
The weather is fantastic with 320 sunny days a year (average) as well as the temperature. The residential area is one of the most appreciated and well valued in this town. Talking about the bars and restaurants, they serve free snacks when ordering a beer or a cup of wine. Close to nice different kind of beaches and the old town, cheerful all year round with plenty of restaurants and a lot of activities to do. And if you wanna go farther, the ski resource of Sierra Nevada is only 55 min drive and the old Granada town with The Alhambra old moresque palace, is only 50 min drive. The Malaga airport is aproximately one hour drive. Almuñécar and La Herradura form the tourist capital of the Costa Tropical. This relatively unknown stretch of Spain's southern coastline belongs to Granada province in Andalucia. It lies between the more populous Costa del Sol to the west, and the coast of Almería to the east.It's here that the continent of Africa is trying, and noticeably succeeding, to push its way under the mass of Europe. The dramatic results are what give the Costa Tropical its special geography and climate, so unlike any other coastline in southern Spain.Rugged hills thrust up steeply from valley floors or plunge into the sea. Seasonal torrents, often swollen by melting snows, cut jagged ravines deep into the landscape. Once-forrested hillsides, now denuded of their fertile topsoil, provide a scanty foothold for almond, olive and the hardy carob. Small villages and farming communities have developed in sheltered valleys or simply cling like limpets to the hillsides.And above everything towers the grand Sierra Nevada, for skiing lovers.These mountains, which boast among them the highest peak in mainland Spain, form a natural weather-break which protects the Granadan coastline from the worst influences of the European winters, while Africa, to the south, helps buffer the harsh effects of both the Mediterranean and Atlantic weather. As a result, the area has an extraordinarily benign subtropical climate which can be seen in the variety of exotic products to be found in the local markets, especially the different fruits.Almuñécar and its handsome Moorish castle sit on a small hill between the mouths of two rivers - the Río Seco and the larger Río Verde. The latter runs through Almuñécar's Tropical Valley, a fertile area of mainly subtropical fruit orchards that line the valley floor and climb the terraced hillsides. To the west of the town lies the Punta de la Mona, a pineclad headland sheltering the attractive Marina del Este sports port and home to a number of luxury urbanisations. Beyond, is the pretty village and horseshoe-shaped bay of La Herradura and another large natural promontory, Cerro Gordo, which marks the end of the municipality and province. Inland, the approximately 80 km² municipality rises into the hills which form an impressive backdrop to the coast. Farmhouses and small hamlets dot the area overlooked by the Peña Escrita natural park.Almuñécar was founded by the Phoenicians almost 3000 years ago and has since been occupied by a succession of Mediterranean cultures including, most importantly, the Romans and the Moors. Attracted by the rich trade in local products, the town was one of the most important ports on Spain's Mediterranean coast. Evidence of the area's importance can be seen in the numerous monuments that still exist, especially the Roman fish factory and aqueduct.Along the 19 km of local coastline visitors can choose from a large variety of beaches and small coves, ranging from fine sand to shingle. Watersports are very popular and there are numerous businesses offering different types of courses and equipment hire. Divers will find some of the best underwater scenery here of anywhere along the southern coast.Hindered by the rugged geography, development has been mostly restricted to the coast and its adjacent hillsides. Recent years, however, have seen a shift in the 'sun, sea and sand' mentality and many people have bought farmhouses or plots of land in the surrounding hills. Rural tourism, though slow to take off, is on the increase.Based originally on agriculture and fishing, the local economy is now concentrated almost entirely on tourism and recent years have seen a huge surge in the local infrastructure. Numerous hotels, chalets and apartments are being constructed to cope with the increasing number of visitors, both seasonal and permanent, and shops and services are being opened at a corresponding rate. Cheaper flights and the lousy north European weather have prompted many to buy second homes in the area, while increased telecommunications, especially the Internet, mean that many professionals can work here seasonally if not throughout the whole year.Local tourism has traditionally been Spanish and confined to the summer season, especially August when the town is packed out. Important fiestas such as Easter and Christmas are also very busy. Foreigners tend to visit mostly during the Spring and Autumn months when the weather can be superb compared to the north, while winter, apart from Christmas, is relatively quiet. Many visitors rent chalets or apartments for their staysForeign residents are a mixed bunch with representatives from most European countries living here year round. French, Belgian, German and English nationalities are the most common, though not necessarily in that order, while the Scandinavians, particularly the Danish, are increasing their numbers.
No problem for parking slots. They are shed shading and well distributed just around the house, Very quiet area. Night monitoring and maintenance assistance. Ocean and mountains views.
The House is in a very quiet area. It has access to a shared swimming pool, a west facing garden, a summer house, a south facing patio area, a north facing balcony, sea views, panoramic views, interesting views, a barbeque.

Services: Ceremony, Reception
Catering: Offered in-house
Maximum capacity: 150
You will NOT be dissapointed if you choose Marina Jack as your reception venue! Anne Camire and her staff went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and the food is absolutely to die for. So professional and every detail was covered, the guests at our wedding mention the food every time we see them! (seriously!)
Wedding: 04/04/2014
Services Used: Catering, Ceremony & Reception Venue
We had a rehearsal dinner here (not the ceremony/wedding, but there was no option on this website for that info.) I can't say enough about how fabulous the evening was, how delicious the food was, and how professionally everything was handled. Our appetizers were delicious, the bar was a complete success, and the meals and desserts were great, too. Anne, the catering manager, was very responsive and wonderful to deal with. Everything was just as I had expected and hoped for, the view of the water is beautiful, and the sunset and lighted fountain outside were spectacular. It might be a little small for most weddings, but we had 80 people for our rehearsal dinner, and it was very roomy; could have easily had another 3 tables. I was very surprised and delighted that we could make changes in our meal count up until the day before the event. (You may think you won't need to do that, but things do come up at the last minute beyond your control.) And they allowed us to have 2 dessert choices for our event without charging any extra fee. Highly recommended !!!

Anne Camire, the Director of Sales & Catering was incredible. She worked with us on the wedding reception menu; the perfect room setting; logistics and table linens. She went above and beyond upgrading the candlelight and creating personalized menus in the black & white color scheme of our bridal party. She is so easy to work with and is the epitome of professionalism. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the filet mignon and the Chiiean Sea Bass. Most of the plates were EMPTY!!! SOOOO good.

The bad news just keeps rolling in at BlackBerry. Just one week after confirming it was actively looking for buyers, the Canadian handset maker has apparently now cut another 100 jobs.
The Financial Post reports that the redundancies are for personnel based out of the firm's headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, but doesn't know if this move will effect some divisions worse than others.
In a statement, the PlayBook tablet maker said that it was in the 'second phase of our transformation plan'.
This news less than a month after BlackBerry cut another 250 jobs at the company's HQ. The firm recently established a special committee to look for a buyer.

Saturday at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival drew several big acts, but several local groups were too good to miss.
Sure, the legendary Eagles in front of a crowd that was so perilously packed that one wrong move could have caused a sinkhole.
But they are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, and Don Henley, Glen Frey and Co., put together flawless harmonies to the delight of the tens of thousands at the Acura Stage. From his perch atop the stage, Henley announced that there must be 65,000 people.
They opened with a near-perfect rendering "Seven Bridges Road" to iconic standards, and used a Spanish-inspired trumpet solo to announce "Hotel California."
Other hits included "I Can't Tell You Why" and "Witchy Woman," but at the end of the day, the Eagles took it back to their roots, offering an encore of their first smash, "Take It Easy."
My Morning Jacket was another headliner, and with it being Derby Day back in their hometown of Louisville, Ky, the rockers came to celebrate. Frontman Jim James did mention that he had a horse named after him running in the race, so MMJ was apparently represented back on home turf, too.
MMJ's set ran the course of their career, playing such songs as the ballad "Golden" off 2003′s It Still Moves and "Holdin' On to Black Metal" from last year's Circuital.
Of course, it wouldn't be a My Morning Jacket show without their monumental closer, "One Big Holiday," and the group had something special in mind. James welcomed the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to the stage, and the audience exploded as the opening riff rang out into the night.
Later, MMJ joined the eight-member jazz ensemble for a show at the French Quarter's Preservation Hall. That intimate affair reportedly ended with the PHJB and members of My Morning Jacket actually taking to the streets as they performed the city's iconic tune "When the Saints Go Marching In."
Both of the massive headlining acts were superb, but there were others that are from the Big Easy who stood out, as well.
Here is a look at some bands who caught our eye:
An Anders Osborne live show is a clinic in how to be a rock guitar god.
The fact that the Swedish-born musician is a long time resident of New Orleans only further endeared him to the crowd.
Never mind the mind-blowing diversity he had throughout his electrifying set at the Gentilly Stage.
With the crowd packed and the humidity hitting a high, Osborne spared no expense and was limited to no boundaries. There were songs that featured an extended spacey groove ("Burning on the Inside"), rocking standards like "Mind of a Junkie," or ballads such as "Louisiana Gold," and Osborne had the massive crowd loving every minute.
Just to see him joined by only – only – a three-piece string accompaniment on "Higher Ground" showed that Osborne could not just hang out amongst the pantheon of guitarists, but it also demonstrated that he easily branches into different directions.
A six-piece indie rock outfit out of New Orleans, MyNameIsJohnMichael began as a solo project when singer John Michael Rouchell was challenged to write, record and release 52 songs over the course of one year. A little bit into that project, the band was born and a 2009 debut – The People That Come and Go – came out.
Now, the band is working on new endeavors, with fresh tunes ready to download on their official website and a tight live show with a ton of energy.
Playing at the Gentilly Stage, Rouchell told a story of how he nearly quit music because he was broke and had seemingly fired his last bullet, but one day when he went to his record collection and found the iconic Irma Thomas' "Breakaway," he knew he couldn't give up the dream.
MyNameIsJohnMichael brings a lot to the table with their bombastic, bluesy, Big Easy roots mixed in with a fair share of softer tunes.
Another New Orleans rock band, Better Than Ezra has played Jazz Fest many times before, but as bassist Tom Drummond noted early in their show, those gathered at the Gentilly Stage lawn rivaled none they band had ever seen at the event.
With a sea of creative flags sailing above the capacity audience, Better Than Ezra launched into a set that included several of their hits – "Good," "Extra Ordinary" and "Desperately Wanting."
The group also played a brand new song that singer Kevin Griffin announced they had only played live three times. Unfortunately, he didn't cough up its name.
Still, the highlight might just have when Bonerama's horn section came out for "Kings of New Orleans."
It was a powerful moment that the band teased on its official Facebook page, and the addition paid off in spades.
Many from around the Louisiana area have called Thomas the "Queen of Soul," and perhaps that is rightfully so.
She certainly made a strong bid for that title on Saturday at the Acura Stage.
High-energy and emotional, Thomas ran the gamut. She sang "In the Middle Of It All," an emotional tune that is featured on Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too soundtrack. Thomas told the crowd that it was a "long time" to be able to sing it without crying.
Thomas also got a little frisky with "Hip-Shakin' Woman," however.
The audience was patiently waiting for her to go into her signature song, "It's Raining," and when she did, there were a few lovey-doveys doing a little slowdance in the grass.
All in all, bands and artists hailing from the New Orleans area were big stars on Saturday. Despite the presence of bigger names, NOLA representing has been a theme throughout Jazz Fest 2012.

A study at a major medical center suggests more heart attacks may have occurred as stock prices crashed at the start of the recession.
Researchers at Duke University in North Carolina tallied heart attacks treated at their hospital and compared the numbers with the Nasdaq stock index from January 2008 through July 2009, when the economy started to recover. As stocks dipped, heart attacks rose.
The trend weakened once they took into account seasons of the year, however, because heart attacks are more common in winter.
However, other experts say the issue is worth studying nationwide because stress can lead to heart attacks.
The study was released Saturday at an American College of Cardiology conference in Atlanta.

The Michigan Capitol is shown at twilight Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009, in Lansing, Mich. Lawmakers continue work on budget bills that deal with a $2.8 billion shortfall before an Oct. 1 deadline. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A review has found that most Michigan legislators have stayed in government or move into lobbying jobs during the 20 years that the state has had term limits for its House and Senate members.
The Detroit Free Press says its study has found that 23 percent of lawmakers stayed in state elected offices, 19 percent became lobbyists or consultants, 14 percent took other government jobs, and 13 percent entered business.
Scott Shackleton spent six years in the state House as a Republican from Sault Ste. Marie and now manages a golf course.
He says "Lansing is like a big deck of cards," with most people staying in town and merely switching jobs.
The newspaper bases its report on 291 lawmakers elected between 1992 and 2004.

Although your web site represents this product as a dietary supplement, for example by the statement, "We make some of the world?s best supplements.. .", it cannot be so considered because the not-ephedrine HCl used in your product appears to be a synthetic compound that is not derived from any botanical source. Synthetic norephedrine HCl is not plant-derived and cannot, therefore, be considered a constituent or extract of a botanical source. Consequently, FDA has determined that synthetic ephedrine alkaloids are not ?dietary ingredients" as defined in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act [the Act, Section 201(ff)(1)]. Therefore, products containing synthetic ephedrine alkaloids do not fall under the dietary supplement regulatory scheme.
Based on its intended uses, to affect the structure or function of the body, this product is a drug within the meaning of Section 201(g) of the Act. Such products are considered drugs when their intended use is established by structure/function claims, such as those that appear on your web site. Some of the claims on your Internet web site, http://www.sann.net, from which this product may be ordered state, for example, ". . . burn fat faster and more effectively than any other product.. stimulant as well as an appetite suppressant.. .superior increase in metabolism and decrease in appetite.. .".
As a drug, the labeling claims made for this product subject it to the requirements for new drugs [Section 201(p) of the Act] because there is no evidence that this product is generally recognized as safe and effective for its claimed uses. Under Section 505(a) of the Act, a "new drug" may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce unless an FDA-approved new drug application is in effect for such drug. Because your product is not the subject of an approved NDA, it may not be marketed in the United States and its continued distribution violates Section 505 of the Act.
This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive review of your Internet web site nor all labeling and products your firm markets. The violation of the Act described above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations concerning your firm and its products. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products marketed by your firm, including other synthetic ephedrine alkaloid products, are in compliance with the Act and its implementing regulations.
We request that you take prompt action to correct these violations. Failure to promptly correct violations may result in enforcement action being initiated by the FDA without further notice. The Act provides for the seizure of illegal products and for injunction against the manufacturer and/or distributor of illegal products.
Please notify this office within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter as to the specific steps you have taken to correct the stated violations. You should also include an explanation of each step being taken to identify and make corrections to assure that similar violations will not recur. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which the corrections will be implemented.
Your reply should be sent to the attention of Ms. Vesna Stanoyevitch, Compliance Officer, at the Food and Drug Administration, Center For Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Compliance (HFD-310). Metropark North I, 7520 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855.

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) - One person has been injured after a hydrogen tank exploded at a Prince William County research site, shooting through the ceiling and crashing back into the building.
Kim Hylander, a spokeswoman with the Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue, said the accident occurred about 11:30 a.m. Monday. The extent of the person's injuries was not immediately known.
Hylander said some sort of "hydrogen air pressure vessel" detonated and crashed through a building ceiling twice, once on launch and once on landing. She said hazardous material crews and building inspectors responded to the scene.
The accident occurred at a company called Utron Inc., at a research park near the Manassas campus of George Mason University. Utron specializes in high-velocity projectile launches, according to the company's website.

Thread: Leviticus 20:13
Results 1 to 2 of 2
#1 Leviticus 20:1307-12-2013, 10:17 PM
In my mature years, Im finally beginning to understand the Bible!
For those who havent heard, the State of Washington just passed two laws:
- Same Sex Marriage
- Legalized Marijuana
The fact that same-sex marriage and marijuana were legalized on the same day makes perfect biblical sense because Leviticus 20:13 says:
"If a man lies with another man they should be stoned."
I just hadnt interpreted it correctly before.It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
Live every day as if it were your last, because one of these days, it will be.

Pronounced: dis-par-oon-yaEn Español (Spanish Version)
Dyspareunia refers to pain in the pelvic area during or after sexual intercourse. This can occur in both men and women, although it is more common in women.
It is believed that dyspareunia is caused by physiological factors at least 75%-80% of the time.
Pain that occurs initially at entry but decreases over time is commonly caused by inadequate lubrication. This is frequently due to a lack of sexual arousal and effective stimulation or may sometimes be due to medication that decreases vaginal lubrication (such as antihistamines).
Other causes in women include:
- Postpartum period after childbirth
- Vaginal infections such as yeast vaginitis
- Postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis—irritation of the vaginal mucosa due to lack of estrogen
- Endometriosis
- Herpes or genital warts
- Pelvic inflammatory disease—deep infection of the pelvic organs
- Urinary tract infection
- Orthopedic problems affecting the pelvic bones
- Retroversion (abnormal orientation) of the uterus
- Chronic constipation
Psychological factors are infrequently involved and will most commonly be associated with previous sexual trauma (rape or abuse), feelings of guilt, or negative attitudes toward sex. These psychological factors may lead to a condition called vaginismus, that is described as painful rhythmic and involuntary contractions of vaginal muscles associated with fear of vaginal penetration.
In men prostatitis and urethritis are the most common causes of pain that occur at the time of ejaculation. Pain that occurs while obtaining an erection may be associated with:
- Inflammation of the foreskin
- Loss of elasticity of the foreskin
- Trauma to the penis
- Herpes or genital warts
- Local allergies or irritations
- Curvature of the penis caused by Peyronie's disease
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Postmenopausal women and those taking medications that produce a vaginal dryness are at increased risk for dyspareunia.
Pain associated with dyspareunia may:
- Occur during or after sex
- Be itching, burning, stabbing, or aching
Be located in the:
- Vagina
- Urethra
- Bladder
- Pelvis
- Penis
- Testicles
- Occur during all phases of sexual contact or only with deep thrusting
- Also occur with tampon use

The diagnosis of dyspareunia is typically made based on your symptoms. Your medical and sexual history and your physical examination will help your doctor determine the cause of your symptoms.
- During the physical examination, your doctor will check your vaginal wall for signs of dryness, inflammation, infection (especially yeast or herpes infection), genital warts, or scarring.
- Your doctor will also perform an internal pelvic examination, looking for abnormal pelvic masses, tenderness, or signs of endometriosis.
- Based on the results of the history and physical examination, your doctor may recommend further testing, such as cultures to detect infections or imaging studies such as pelvic ultrasound, to further investigate possible causes.
- He or she may also suggest that you speak with a counselor to determine whether a history of sexual abuse, trauma, or anxiety may be contributing to your symptoms.
- After childbirth, gentleness and patience should be exercised. Wait at least six weeks before resuming sexual relations.
- Menopausal women may use lubricants and estrogen-containing creams or medications as prescribed.
- Infections may be treated with antibiotics or antifungal medications. Specific treatments for viral infections like herpes and genital warts are also available.
- Endometriosis may be treated with medications; in some cases, surgery is helpful.
Most cases of prostatitis and urethritis respond to antibiotic treatment. Sitz baths and avoiding alcohol and caffeine may also be helpful for prostatitis. Sometimes surgery may be indicated to treat foreskin and other erectile problems.
When no organic (physiological) cause of the pain can be found, sex therapy may prove beneficial. Occasionally, variables such as guilt, inner conflict, unresolved feelings about past abuse, and the need for self-punishment may be involved and need to be worked through in psychiatric counseling.
- Good hygiene and routine medical care will help to some degree.
- Safe sexual practice will reduce the risk of herpes, genital warts, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
- Adequate foreplay and stimulation will help to ensure proper lubrication of the vagina.
- The use of a water-soluble lubricants like K-Y Jelly may also help. Vaseline should not be used as a sexual lubricant since it is not water soluble and may encourage vaginal infections.

Hynoski's "awesomely bad" TD dancePosted by on January 3, 2013 – 9:00 am
Every week Giants.com posts its production of "Sights and Sounds," and each time we get a glimpse into life on the sidelines during an NFL game.
So you could imagine the reaction to Henry Hynoski's first career touchdown in Week 17 when he proceeded to charge like a rhinoceros, as he has been compared to, for his end zone celebration. His teammates, like the rest of us, could only sit back and enjoy the show.
"It was awesomely bad," center David Baas said on the sideline before congratulating the second-year fullback.
Even the salsa dancer approved.
"I liked it, I liked it," said Victor Cruz, sitting next to Hynoski when they returned to the bench. "The crazy thing is how long he had that in the back pocket. You know he had that thing in the back pocket."
He did.
After the game, Hynoski admitted, "I had it in the back of my head since the start of the season. I came close a couple times this year, but didn't really get the opportunity to use it. I had it stored away in case it would happen."
Hynoski's celebration also made waves outside of MetLife Stadium and was dubbed "The Hy-noceros" by an NFL.com vote that asks fans to name a play on a given week.

Blacks' incarceration rate in 1999 was 2.8 times their rate in 1980.
Blacks' incarceration rate in 1999 was 8.2 times the incarceration rate for non-Hispanic Whites.
Of the Black population, 1.6 percent was incarcerated in state and federal prisons in 1999 (Blumstein and Beck, 1999: Table 2).
Of Black males in their 20s, 8.3 percent are in prison in 1999 (Blumstein and Beck, 1999: Table 2).
It is likely that 28.5 percent of Black males will serve time in a state or federal prison; whereas it is likely that 4.4 percent of non-Hispanic White males will serve time in a state or federal prison (Bonczar and Beck, 1997).
Of Black males in their 20s, 30 percent were under control of the criminal justice system—prison, jail, probation, or parole (Mauer, 1990)
In some cities, the rate of Black males in their 20s under control of the criminal justice system exceeds 50 percent (Miller, 1996).
Anyone who looks at these high rates of involvement must find them most distressing, especially for the social control system that is intended to be a last resort for engendering proper behavior in a civil society. Even if they represented totally even-handed administration of justice, the high rates of intrusiveness—and especially the glaring disparities between Blacks and Whites—must raise profound concerns and an intense search for means of reducing the racial disparities. It is then critical to examine the sources of the disparities in order to know where to focus attention to alleviate the problems.
The paper by Randall Kennedy (1998) highlights a number of important examples of policies and practices that contribute to the racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
It is important to isolate factors contributing to the disparity, because different factors will lead to different approaches for improvement. We can identify three different contributors:
individual acts of discrimination,
policies that have differential racial effects, and
racial differences in participation in the crimes that lead to involvement with the criminal justice system.

The effect of type of precursor on the characteristics of alumina powders prepared via urea formaldehyde resin formation is demonstrated through the introduction of three different Al3+ precursors. An Al ester (aluminum acetate), and two inorganic salts aluminum sulphate and aluminum phosphate hydrate, were added during resin formation. The resins and the powders after burning out of the organic part were studied by FTIR, TG and XRD. The results obtained showed that the precursors behaved differently. The Al ester did not participate in the cross linking reaction of the resin. The alumina powder obtained was the result of the combustion of the ester. While the Al3+ from the other two precursors participated in the structure of the resin. The sulphate precursor gave alumina powder with crystallite size 26.96 and 29.78 nm at 1200 and 1400 °C, respectively. The Al3+ and the PO43− participated in the resin structure, but reunite after burning out of the organic part to give AlPO4 as main product plus α-alumina.

by filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass
Over five years ago, we came up with an idea for a very unlikely hero—someone living in their mother's basement, watching the film Signs way too often, and yes, smoking pot more than occasionally. Society has a lot of judgments about such a person and we get that, but we wanted to explore another side of that character—someone who is hopeful, philosophical, maverick (and yes, wearing basketball shorts and eating breakfast at 7pm). "Jeff," of Jeff, Who Lives at Home, has grand hopes and dreams and is willing to sacrifice the typical comforts of life (a job, a wife, money), and we find that oddly heroic. Jeff is always on a grand adventure, even if it's inside of his own head, because he believes that the universe has something great in store for him. And he will not rest until he uncovers the mystery of his own destiny.
Our film takes place in a single day, which begins when Jeff's mother (her patience worn thin) forces him from the nest on a seemingly banal errand to purchase wood glue. Jeff is at first pee-o'd, but his search for glue through the suburbs and strip malls of Baton Rouge, Louisiana soon dovetails with his greater quest for the purpose of his life. One clue leads to another, connecting Jeff with his estranged brother, Pat (who's wife may or may not be having an affair). It also leads the boys to reconnect with their mother who has lost all hope for love since her husband died many years ago. The film is ultimately about very different members of the same broken family taking leaps of faith and finding their way back to each other.
It was our good friend Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) who first read our script and offered to guide and protect this little film of ours through the gauntlet of studio filmmaking. And with the collaboration of great artists like Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Susan Sarandon, and Judy Greer, Jeff, Who Lives at Home became something so much greater than we ever could have dreamed. Our simple desire to just get this movie made somehow dovetailed with greater forces (sound familiar?). Now you're reading this letter, urging you to come see a movie about hopes and dreams and the nature of the universe—and you thought it was just another stoner comedy. Please come see our little movie that could, because as Jeff would say, "your destiny awaits."
