Rome: Country Info
Destination guide
Italy, this country belongs to the sea, surrounded by the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea. It is so much more than country filled with stimulations. The architecture will challenge us, the musicality of the language that seduces us and the gastronomy that invites us to stay and learn to appreciate the dolce fare niente, in the city squares or the in quietness of the countryside.
Breathless, this is how you´ll feel, so many stimulations you feel every single moment. Not only have being the roman capital during so many centuries, but still welcomed a renewed breeze of the Renaissance creativeness. Men, such as Leonardo da Vinci or Michael Angelo, who've left a unique legacy to a country that seems to be a living museum, in cities such as Rome or Florence. Venice, what can you say, where lovers are rocked by the gondolas.But Italy is also the rural Tuscany, where autumn brings warm colours and the portrait of Sicilian and Sardinian People who seem to be part of the landscape. Milan, more industrialized and prosperous, the capital city of fashion, a true parade of elegancy.In a territory the plunges into the sea, the climate varies from the continental characteristics, typical of the North and the Alp's influence and as you travel further south, it becomes warmer till you reach the arid climate of the Mediterranean.Even though you'll encounter major differences, the "humming" of this language will rock you away wherever you may be and the gastronomy will entice you however modest may be the nook where you taste it.

The children in foster care are at extremely high risk for drug and alcohol abuse. Many factors contribute to this, including:
- Children whose biological parents abuse drugs and alcohol seem to have a biological and psychological tendency to become abusers themselves.
- Early role models for these children may have demonstrated drug and alcohol "self medication" as a method to deal with problems.
- Recreational drug use may have been a way of fitting in and belonging to a group.
Because substance abuse is so common with foster children, you need to make vigorous active efforts to avoid this devastating problem. A first step is learning more about drug and alcohol abuse. The following activity will help you evaluate your understanding of drug and alcohol abuse.

George Nelson Lotus Table Lamp - PearPrice: $375.00
Design by George Nelson, 1947.
Made in the USA by Modernica.
Without question, the George Nelson Bubble Lamp® Pear Table Lamp is a tried-and-true standard of the modern vocabulary. George Nelson designed the first lamps in 1947. These lamps, with their simple sculptural shapes, are constructed of an innovative taut plastic that coats a steel wire-frame. Nelson's unique design and ingenious use of materials prove to eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light. A quality which alone is unique to this material.
From the forming of the wire-frame, to the spraying of the vinyl form, one-by-one, each Bubble Lamp is constructed to last decades and each Bubble Lamp is built to George Nelsons original specifications. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Table lamp offered in brushed nickel finish with a brushed nickel or walnut base. Pull switch located on lampholder.
Shown with brushed nickel stem and base.
Material(s): Polymer, steel, wood
Dimensions: 26.5" H x 12.75" Dia
Bulbs: 1 X 150W medium incandescent lamp (not included)
Designer: George Nelson
When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps"--moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of."
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.
The first break was being named an editor of Architectural Forum magazine. Working on a story there in 1942, he was looking at aerial photos of blighted cities when--zap!--he developed the concept of the downtown pedestrian mall, which was unveiled in the Saturday Evening Post.
Soon after, another zap led to the Storagewall, the first modular storage system and a forerunner of systems furniture. The Storagewall was showcased in a 1945 Life magazine article, causing a sensation in the furniture industry. Herman Miller founder D.J. DePree saw the article and was so impressed that he paid a visit to Nelson in New York and convinced him to be his director of design, which spurred Nelson to found his design firm, George Nelson & Associates. The warm personal and professional relationship between Nelson and DePree yielded a stunning range of products, from the playful Marshmallow Sofa to the first L-shaped desk, a precursor of today's workstation.
Nelson once wrote that Herman Miller "is not playing follow-the-leader." That's one reason why George Nelson & Associates worked with Herman Miller for over 25 years as they shepherded design into the modern era.
During this same period, George Nelson & Associates also created many landmark designs of products, showrooms, and exhibitions for a variety of companies and organizations.
Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as antihuman." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.
Prix de Rome for architecture, 1932
Best Office of the Year, New York Times, 1953
Gold Medal, Art Directors Club of New York, 1953
Good Design Award, Museum of Modern Art, 1954
Trailblazer Award, National Home Furnishings League, 1954
Chairman, International Design Conference in Aspen, 1965, 1982
Scholar in Residence, Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Design, 1984
Lifetime Achievement Award, American Institute of Graphic Arts, 1991
Permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art
Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

A thymectomy is surgery to remove the thymus gland. This gland is located in the upper portion of the chest, behind the breastbone.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The thymus gland helps immune cell growth. It is usually active when you are an infant, but its function reduces as you get older. The thymus acts abnormally when a person has
myasthenia gravis
. A thymectomy is used to treat
myasthenia gravis.
A thymectomy may also be done if the thymus has a tumor, which is called thymoma. These types of tumors are associated with myasthenia gravis.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep during the procedure.
There are three common methods:
You will be taken to a recovery room. There, you will be monitored for any complications.
About 1-3 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
You will be given fluids and medication through an IV. You will be instructed to practice deep breathing, coughing, and frequent turning. Nurses will measure your muscle strength and breathing ability to determine the effectiveness of the surgery.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
The recovery time varies from person to person, depending on the surgical approach. It may take as little as 1-2 weeks or as long as three months before you can return to work or school. Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
If the surgery was done for myasthenia gravis:
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:

The War Eagle Twin Spin Spinnerbaits will change ledge fishing forever. Fish them slow and you can't go wrong. The Twin Spins' football style head crawls over rocks and brush with ease and the dual Colorado blade configuration puts off a thumping that calls bass in. Balanced to perfection and ready to fish right out of the box, the Twin Spins also feature custom hand tied skirts, Mustad NeedlePoint Hooks, Sampo Swivels, and light piano wire for better vibration. Made in America by avid bass anglers for avid bass anglers, the War Eagle Twin Spin Spinnerbaits are changing the face of spinnerbait fishing.
Comments: Great Lure! Right off the bat, I put a u-tail grub on as a trailer and POW! 3-pounder in the boat!! great lure gonna be adding the rest to the tackle box very soon!!
From: Chase: Chattanooga, TN
Comments: page 2-- i have fished these new twin spin's now and they are great! i used a pork frog trailer and wore the bass out at san antonio lake. thier not shannon's but they are closer than any other twin spin i've ever used including the mc coy brand. i tied in bucktail in place of the plastic skirt and it slow's the fall rate, which is a positive. i fished them with the plastic skirt as well, but i prefer the bucktail's and so did the bass. black or black and yellow are the best in the hair, any of the darker color's in plastic seem to bee good also.
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments:Here we go, another twin spin is out and about. This one look's more like the old shannon than the mc coy. I have not tried these yet, but I will very soon. The football head is something new as well. In and over rocks these should perform great. I wonder how long it will be before a shannon twin spin with the bucktail will come back? There is also a twin spin sold by the name gold nugget. It's primarily used with live bait fishing for walleye's. I have not used these and probably never will. I think the word is out about the twin spin's and how effective they are everywhere---

Concerning Hobbits
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley breaks down "The Hobbit."
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
SILVER SPRING, Md. - Rubbing their eyes and recycling their 3D glasses, two young women debated "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" as they left the Majestic 20 in Silver Spring.
"That made absolutely no sense," one said, glad that her "other worldly" experience was over after three hours.
"It made total sense to me," the other said, mounting a defense for her beloved Middle Earth franchise.
This is the best way to sum up Peter Jackson's prequel from a book many of us read in middle school.
Diehard "The Lord of the Rings" fans will get goose bumps from the familiar music and smile with each returning character. And why not? These are reminders of a masterpiece saga: "The Fellowship of the Ring" winning four Oscars and becoming the newest movie on the AFI Top 100; "The Two Towers" winning two more Oscars; and "The Return of the King" winning 11 Oscars, tying "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic" for the most in history, and joining "The Godfather II" and "The Silence of the Lambs" as just the third sequel to win Best Picture.
But past accomplishments only get you so far. Those walking fresh into "The Hobbit" may find it an arduous journey with plenty of dead time. Much of this is due to the decision to divide J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" into three movies. This made sense for the "LOTR" trilogy, where three books (398, 327 and 412 pages) were turned into three movies, while "The Hobbit" turns a single book (310 pages) into three, three-hour flicks.
The plot is framed by an elderly Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), who writes his life story for future generations. We dive 60 years earlier to see Bilbo as a young hobbit (Martin Freeman) living in the Shire. One day, the kind wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) invites a team of 13 dwarves to Bilbo's house to plan a journey to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebo from the evil dragon Smaug. Bilbo reluctantly joins their voyage across Middle Earth, needing to prove his worth to the team's leader, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), the target of a revenge plot by a one-armed Orc warrior. His best hope lies in a magical gold ring that drops from the pocket of the underground creature Gollum (Andy Serkis).
Gollum is just one of the film's many familiar faces. Ian McKellen is back as Gandalf, playing as lovable a father figure as we remember, but his face looking much older despite the fact it's supposed to be 60 years earlier. Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving respectively return as elves Galadriel and Elron, master of Rivendell, providing a roundtable discussion with McKellen and Christopher Lee, who returns as Saruman (before his turn to the dark side). There's even a brief appearance from Elijah Wood as Bilbo's nephew Frodo, who walks around the Shire in the opening framing device.
Still, Serkis steals the show as Gollum. You'll have to wait a while to see him, but when he finally crawls out of the shadows, expect clapping in the audience. Here, he plays a riddle game with Bilbo with high stakes: if Bilbo wins, Gollum will show him the way out of the tunnel; if Gollum wins, he gets to eat Bilbo. As the schizophrenic creature shifts back and forth between the trixie Gollum and the adorable Smeagol, we're reminded why he's one of the most precious movie characters of all time.
Unfortunately, Jackson doesn't create NEW characters to fall in love with, especially in the hero's entourage. In the original trilogy, Frodo had Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin), Merry & Pippin (Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen). In "The Hobbit," the only memorable teammate is Thorin, a dwarf of royal lineage. The rest of the dwarves fade into the background, possibly because they survive every peril thrown at them. There are no death moments like "Saving Private Ryan" to cement them in our memory, and enough "deus ex machina" to limit the feeling that they're ever in any real danger.
Instead, the best "character" remains the score of Howard Shore, whose prior renditions won him three Oscars. As the Shire woodwinds dance across the soundtrack, the magic of "The Lord of the Rings" comes rushing back. The same goes for the visual effects, as Jackson again dazzles us with the perspective tricks he perfected in the original trilogy, allowing actors to appear tall and small simultaneously in the same room. The video game visuals bring us giant trolls around a campfire, giant rock creatures headbutting each other, and a flock of majestic eagles saving the day. Some have complained of motion sickness from Jackson's frame rate, which runs twice as fast at 48 frames per second, but I didn't have that problem. My issue is with the STORY rate.
The script's lack of discretion is disappointing, considering it was co-written by Jackson, Guillermo del Toro (who bailed as director in 2010) and Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (who co-wrote the original trilogy). The project was first envisioned in two parts, but was expanded into a trilogy of prequels: "An Unexpected Journey" (2012), "The Desolation of Smaug" (2013) and "There and Back Again" (2014).
The result is plenty of filler material across 2 hours 46 minutes. The story takes forever to get going, spending entirely too long watching the dwarves sing and carouse in the Shire. The first 40 minutes could be collapsed into a 10-minute setup, with Gandalf's arrival serving as the catalyst into Act Two. The delay prevents the film from being "an unexpected journey," feeling instead like an all- too expected journey that takes forever to happen. As the film ends with the Lonely Mountain far in the distance, we wonder why we've gone through so much and still have only made it this far.
Cynics will claim this as another example of Hollywood sacrificing story for box office receipts, while Jackson claims there were merely too many story beats in Tolkien's book. Either way, "The Hobbit" marks another moment a transcendent director has become lost in the vast visual world he created. Let the comparisons begin with George Lucas, who similarly followed his groundbreaking "Star Wars" trilogy (1977-1983) with a trio of inferior prequels (1999-2002).
It's dangerous for filmmakers to return to their babies after the "cultural moment" has passed. Ask Lucas how the 16-year hiatus affected "Star Wars." Ask Spielberg how 19 years affected "Indiana Jones." And ask Coppola how 16 years affected "The Godfather Part III."
I held out hope for "The Hobbit," praying nine years would maintain the "LOTR" magic. Now it appears nine years -- the entire duration of "Seinfeld" and The Beatles -- is enough for the zeitgeist to pass.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" could win awards for visual effects, but don't expect another Best Picture nomination. The series hasn't jumped the shark just yet, but the fins are circling.

New Ford Fusion not likely to oust top-selling Toyota Camry, yet
by Scott Burgess (RSS feed) on Sep 23rd, 2012 at 12:02PM
As 2013 Ford Fusions begin rolling into dealerships, Ford can say that it has finally created the mythical Toyota Camry fighter. It's something we've heard again and again from Detroit's carmakers, always poised but never able to deliver a midsize sedan that will outsell the venerable Camry. This time, however, Ford may have a case. The Camry remains the default choice for Baby Boomers. Offering five powertrains, including a 47-mile-per-gallon gas-electric hybrid, and a powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost model, all wrapped in a sexy exterior, the Fusion makes a strong case that it deserves...

Crowd-sourced data hold potential for positive change and human rights abuses
Social media has scored big successes in helping crowds to gather and communicate online to challenge oppressive regimes in recent weeks, but digital gathering places that are basically public—and the crowd-sourced data they generate—also carry risks. Crowds are forming so rapidly online—the photo-sharing app Instagram reported enrolling one million users in the past six weeks—that [...]Keep reading »
Advances in disease surveillance: Putting the "public" into public health
March 13th, 2010 | 1
MIAMI—Before a government reports a disease outbreak, cases must usually be counted, verified and assessed—a process that can take days, weeks or months. This delay creates a tension, however, as faster responses are the best hope for keeping a local outbreak from becoming an epidemic or even a pandemic. Overall, bureaucratic diligence and even political [...]Keep reading »

Illustration by Peter Burke
This is our largest Myiarchus. The western subspecies dwarfs the smaller dusky-capped; the eastern subspecies is closer in size to the great crested and the ash-throated. Brown-cresteds prefer more mature, undisturbed habitats where larger nest cavities are available. Polytypic (7 ssp.; 2 in North America). Length 7.2–9.2" (18–23 cm)
Identification Adult: gray and yellow areas of underparts fairly bright, with abrupt gray-yellow contrast on breast. Outer pairs of tail feathers extensively rufous on inner webs; dark shaft stripes and rufous extend to feather tips. Bill proportionately long, heavy, and black. Mouth lining typically flesh-colored. Juvenile: similar, but secondaries (except whitish inner 2) and wing bars are rusty edged and inner webs of tail feathers are more extensively rufous (dark shaft stripe mostly lacking).
Geographic Variation Larger magister breeds in Southwest south through western Mexico; smaller cooperi breeds in southern Texas and eastern Mexico south to Honduras.
Similar Species The great crested has a darker gray face and breast; olive wash on sides of breast; broad white edge to innermost secondary; all-rufous inner webs of tail feathers; orange-yellow mouth lining; and paler base to lower mandible. The smaller, paler ash-throated has whitish transition between gray and yellow on underparts, and its tail tip is usually dark not rufous. The smaller Nutting's and dusky-capped have orange mouth lining; the dusky-capped has much less rufous in tail.
Voice Call: a sharp whit. Breeding, a rough, descending burrrk (or rasp) or whay-burg. Dawn song: repeated whit notes, vibrato whistles, burrrk notes, and other complex phrases.
Status and Distribution Common. Breeding: riparian forest, thorn woodland, columnar cactus desert. Migration: in spring, arrives in Texas exceptionally by mid- to late March, more typically early to mid-April; arrives in Southwest late April–early May. In fall, generally departs August, rare after mid-September. Winter: mexico to Honduras. Vagrant: casual, mainly fall-winter, to coastal Califorinia (magister) and to coastal Texas, Louisiana, and Florida (cooperi, but 1 Louisiana rec. of magister).
Population Stable.

Photojournalism Techniques for Amateurs
Professor Kenneth Kobré--who teaches photojournalism at San Francisco
State University--advises those who are interested in pursuing a career
in news photography to "First master your camera, flash and the rest of
your equipment."
He suggests that students attend a community college or university with a good photojournalism program: "Each school has a particular approach to photography." Another advantage to formal education, he says, is that you can learn more about law and ethics as it applies to photojournalism. And, besides being a good shooter, Kobré emphasizes, "you must be able to write a clear, accurate photo caption."
Kobré is represented by Mercury Pictures and freelances widely as a photojournalist. He's also the author of several books, including How to Photograph Friends and Strangers and the acclaimed textbook, Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach, which features interviews with professional photographers across the country and includes many of the compelling images that accompany this story.
Importance of Education
At San Francisco State, Kobré says, "We encourage students to take a broad look at photojournalism." This encompasses everything from news events and sports to photo illustrations and feature stories. "We also help students get internships to newspapers," he adds. Photojournalism students from schools across the country compete for these paid internships, which gives them real-life experience and allows them to build their portfolios--"The internship is a stepping stone from college to the pro world," comments Kobré. Some students do multiple internships. He notes that some newspapers hire only students from accredited photojournalism programs, while others just want to see a good portfolio.
"This is a highly competitive field," he warns, "with a finite number of jobs at any given time." He advises beginning photographers to establish a track record of professionalism. Generally, photojournalists begin working for small newspapers, then bigger ones, and some progress to assignments for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Smithsonian, News & World Report, and European publications like Geo and Paris Match.
Kobré's students work both digitally and with film. "We're more interested in the image that the student produces, regardless of the equipment." But the advent of more-affordable digital SLRs under $1000, he says, is enabling more students to buy good digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. Kobré says that film is still being used in photojournalism, but he anticipates that it will play less of a role as time goes by. "There are magazines that still utilize transparencies," he says. "Some publications that give assignments early in the week allow the photographer time to process film."
"There's a lot of good photographers out there," he notes, "but they're not necessarily good photojournalists." As a pro, "you're responsible for finding the story of the day that can be told in pictures." This is true, Kobré points out, for both large and small publications. Sometimes a photojournalist's job involves working with a writer, but oftentimes, a photographer does his/her own research on the stories they plan to shoot. This, he says, is where journalism comes into play. His students get a background in photography, as well as researching a story and writing both captions and text to accompany the pictures.
Shooting A News Event
Before shooting a story, says Kobré, "You must know when it's going to happen. A scanner radio is a spot news photographer's number-one piece of equipment." Many photojournalists continually monitor scanner radios to learn about breaking news. Police, fire, and other emergency services communicate via radio bands of varying frequencies, and photographers must know how to interpret these messages and codes. According to Kobré, a lot of photographers note the number of alarms and the number of engines called to determine the magnitude of a fire. Many fire-alarm calls are false and the crews extinguish small fires so quickly that the photographer can't reach them in time to make a meaningful image. "The fires have to be big enough to make it worth your while."
Speak about regarding the guarantee of his operate. Difficult operate is inescapable in almost any career, but it is highly emphasized for somebody operating as a realtor. Capitalization Price This rate (revealed as a portion) steps the partnership amongst a house's net operating revenue and its price tag. Like several companies on this challenging financial time, it might be a challenge to drum up new consumers. Some valuable facilities like stores, shops plus a supermarket would be the additional attraction for that prospective property purchasers in this particular fast developing estate. lichfield estate agents

When we got their mother we did not know she was pregnant. Her name is Sadie, and we were told she was around 8 months old. We took her to the vet for shots 1 month prior to her having them and the vet thought she was going to have her heat soon so we were going to wait until it was over to have her spayed. We were told by the previous owner that she was around a male blue pit around the time she got pregnant, so we think they are full-blooded, but I wanted to ask your opinions. Does the mother look like a full-blooded pit? What specific breed if so? Also do the puppies seem to have a blue tint? I think so, but I have no prior experience with pit bulls. Any help would be appreciated.. Pics of pups and Mother can be found here: http://pho.to/37ekC
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. -- High winds knock out power to more than 10,000 people in Averill Park and surrounding areas.
The Town of Sand Lake actually declared a state of emergency, as crews work to repair downed lines. More than a dozen town roads were closed.
With the declining temperatures, the American Red Cross set up a shelter at the Averill Park Volunteer Fire Department on Union Turnpike for anyone who needs to stay warm.
"We are currently working with our emergency mangers, the fire departments, to see what the damage assessment will be, however at this time our major concern is providing a safe place for people to go, and some hot food for them to eat," said Mike Tripodi, Red Cross volunteer.
People in that area are asked to use caution when traveling and treat all downed power lines as if they are dangerous.

text: The above figure shows the location of all high resolution (narrow angle) MOC images of the Cydonia region that have been obtained to date, including the first three taken in 1998 (PIA01240, PIA01241, AND PIA01440). These images are superimposed upon a mosaic of Viking images taken during the 1970's. Images acquired during the Science Phasing Orbit period of 1998 slant from bottom left to top right; Mapping Phase images (from 1999 and 2000) slant from lower right to upper left. Owing to the nature of the orbit, and in particular to the limitations on controlling the location of the orbit, the longitudinal distribution of images (left/right in the images above) is distinctly non-uniform. An attempt to take a picture of a portion of the "Face" itself in mid-February 2000 was foiled when the MGS spacecraft experienced a sequencing error and most of that day's data were not returned to Earth. Only the first 97 lines were received; the image's planned footprint is shown as a dashed box. This image is one in a series of eight.
