Parents ponder their children's perils
Published: Tuesday July 12, 2011
Sydney, Australia - "Wherever children are, there are sexual predators waiting to prey on them." The chilling warning by senior Australian police detective Richard Long strikes terror in the hearts of parents. How can any human being, ever contemplate harming a child, "a helpless creature that should evoke nothing but the tenderest and most protective of emotions in all of us," in the words of the mother of a newborn baby.
For parents, and even grandparents, all over the world, child abuse remains an enduring nightmare. While it is an incontestable fact that the evil is exacerbated in Western societies, where parental control is generally slack and where permissiveness provides predators with greater opportunities, it is migrant (or naturalized) communities that feel most traumatized by the threat because to them, the very notion of child sexual abuse is an unheard of, incomprehensible anathema, the quintessence of the vilest evil.
Take the Armenians in Australia, most of whom with roots in the Middle East. There are some 40,000 of them here (a paltry number compared with an estimated million or so in North America). For these people who, Pulitzer Prize winner William Saroyan has declared, no power on earth can destroy, a child is the consummation of the ultimate domestic aim, the hope for the perpetuation of the family or clan, the torch-bearer who will ensure that when any two Armenians meet anywhere on this earth, they will create a new Armenia.
The older generation of Armenian "bantukhds" [exiles] from Jerusalem, Amman, Cairo, Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut was brought up in the belief that a child was there to be spoiled rotten. Occasionally, parents (or even grandparents) might need to have recourse to the rod, but the rationale is always to instill in the child a sense of discipline and respect for authority, in accordance with the tenets of a culture inherited from forefathers many of whom had given their lives to save their nation from annihilation.
In their paternalistic, homogeneous milieu no one ever heard of any instance of a child being sexually abused. The crime could not be hidden, either. In their closed communities, everyone knew everyone else, and everyone else's secrets.
The "bantukhd"s came to the West, seeking succor and security from the interminable internecine squabbles in the Middle East, but as new generations hatch, the parents watch in dismay as one by one, the pillars of their ethnic identity and sense of cohesion tumble one by one against the onslaught of acclimatization and assimilation.
"The children of the Armenians of the Middle East who go to school in America, Australia, Canada, Europe are falling prey to the allures, titillations and permissiveness of Western society," one teacher complains. "Some of them have even changed their names and dropped the patronymic 'ian' from their surnames."
Australia, the land of promise, has been drawing a steady stream of Armenian immigrants for over 50 years now, and with few exceptions, they have settled Down Under harmoniously and comfortably.
"Some of us had to struggle with the local language and wage daily battles for survival. But our kids have taken to the new life like ducks to water, affecting alien mannerisms and mores."
And that inevitably includes exposure, and victimization, to crime and drugs, both on the ground and in the ether."We are losing control over our children and our children's children," wails a grandfather of 4. "And if we can't control them, how can we protect them?"
With the advent and increasing popularity, and misuse, of social networking, the problem assumes exponentially more serious undertones.
Control is the key word, the police say. They urge parents to "keep track of their children's activities, know where they are at any given moment, what they are doing."
"The loss of control is a cruel blow to parents," an Armenian educator comments. "We have to contend not only with the dangers posed by the proliferation of drugs in school and the casual Western attitude to sexual adventurism, but also the threat of sexual exploitation online."
[Who has not heard the anecdote of the Lebanese boy in Sydney who reported his father to the police after being slapped by him? The father is shocked and receives a caution. He pretends to forget and forgive and bides his time. A few months later, the story goes, he floats the idea of visiting relatives in Beirut and asks his son if he would like to go with him. The child is delighted at the prospect - but the moment they walk down the ramp, the father turns to him with a snarl: "Sick the police on me now, you ungrateful cur!" and proceeds to give him the beating of his life. Appraised of the circumstances, the onlookers, to a man, shout at the boy: "Shame on you!"]
The ease with which an online presence can be established has opened for unsupervised children a dire portal into uncharted waters where human sharks roam to their heart's content, stalking victims unchallenged.
Almost every week, Australian media carry a story of yet another attempt at the abduction of a child, the arrest of a pedophile caught downloading child porn on the Internet or grooming a child for sex. And instances of cyber bullying and hate-mongering on Facebook are getting out of hand.
Police are are also concerned about websites purporting to promote child modeling careers.
Most of these are just fronts hosting depositories of child porn, some absolutely revolting, and as soon as they succeed in identifying and shutting down one site, a dozen spring up in its place, according to the police.
From time to time, talk of an Internet filter is floated in public, but nothing comes of it. No political party wants to go on record as muzzling the Internet.
Pedophiles are known to resort to several stratagems, including P2P (peer to peer) technology to hide their identity and evade capture, but although the Australian police, with a notably successful track record of catching miscreants, have little difficulty unveiling or unmasking online perverts, they concede their task could be much easier if they had help from the parents.

Client Testimonial
I used to get such severe low back pain every couple months that it would take two weeks to go get better, but now since seeing Dr. Brian Weeks I've had just one incident since April 2012 that lasted only 2 days. I have scoliosis which has given me back and hip pain for years, and shut down my organs, but now years after I wish I would have met Dr. Brian Weeks, I'm getting my life back. Thank you!!

I Am LATE43 Comments Published by JD July 31st, 2008 in I Am Kind of Awesome, I Get Personal.
If I tell you what I'm doing today
Will you shut up and get out of my way?
I'll tell you what I'm doing today: I'm getting a mammogram. Now shut up and get out of my way.
Sorry to be rude, but I hate being late. I HATE it. I don't know where this hatred of lateness comes from. I've gone through the worst-case scenario of what could possibly happen if I were late, and it usually doesn't involve death or dismemberment. Usually.
But I have nothing to worry about today, for I have scheduled plenty of time to drive to Old Orchard mall, walk to the Professional Building, and check in for my mamm-appointment.
In the lobby of the Professional Building, tho, I experience the cold panic of uncertainty. This doesn't look right. Is this where I get my mammogram? I can't remember the name of the office, and the directory doesn't list anything obvious, like Boobs Squashed Here or Slammogram Express. Shoot. I should've confirmed where the mammo-site was when I made the appointment. How do they expect us to remember these things after a whole year has passed and studies have shown that even recreational drug use can impair memory?
I do see "Midwest Women's Health"; that must be it, right? There's another woman waiting for the elevator, and because she has giant circus boobs, I figure we're headed for the same place. Looking only mildly offended, she tells me she's not, in fact, mammo-bound, but she agrees that the Women's Health suite might be the place.
It's not. The receptionist directs me to Nordstrom's. Gosh darn it!
Nordstrom's is wa-a-a-ay at the other end of the mall. Like, 17 miles away. I'm the fastest walker I know, but I'm no match for all the monster-truck-sized strollers that have suddenly materialized. Why are babies allowed at the mall? When I was a baby, I didn't get to go ANYwhere. And I certainly didn't get to travel in a stroller the size of a taxi.
It's hot and humid. Let the sweating begin! But JD, I hear you say, surely you applied deodorant before leaving the house? No, smart-ass, I did not. You're not supposed to use deodorant on mammo-day. Why? I don't know. It's not my armpit they're shoving into a vice and compressing into the approximate thickness of a sheet of paper.
AND now it's raining. I'm walking fast—really fast, and sweating. And I'm going to be late. Oh, God. LATE!
Once in Nordstrom's, I see the "Mammography Suite" sign right away. But . . . the hell? The Mammography Suite is not only empty, it looks like it's been deserted since World War II. A sign helpfully tells me the suite is moving upstairs on August 2, but it's still July! Where are they? I poke my head in all the rooms but find only a crumpled-up paper gown.
Fighting back tears, I run to the perfume counter and ask breathlessly where the mammograms are. Upstairs? Even tho it's clearly NOT August 2? Fine. Upstairs.
It's a lie. There's nothing resembling a mammography suite upstairs. I ask the concierge, who tells me the mammography suite is closed—CLOSED!—until August 2. I'm flummoxed. "But they told me Old Orchard!" I whined, noticing that I'm already 6 minutes late.
"Well, there's the place on Woods Drive."
Dammnit! THAT's where I go. They call it the Old Orchard facility because it's off Old Orchard road. Idiots.
I try not to speed, but that is my normal driving mode, so I simply try not to kill anyone. I squeal into the parking lot and tear into the building. By now I'm a sodden, sweaty, panicked mess.
"MAMMOGRAM???!!!" I scream.
Downstairs. The sign next to the elevator says "LL" but the elevator button says "B." WHICH IS IT? Are they the same? You need to be more clear about this, building designers. Anxious, soaking-wet, sobbing mammo-patients do not have time to pick over these semantic details.
OK. I'm there. I'm 20 minutes late. The receptionist is extremely judgmental. She gets on the phone and says, "Your 3:00 is here, and your 2:40 JUST. NOW. SHOWED. UP. Should I have her wait?"
She tells me that I can wait and they will try to squeeze me in. I'm so flustered I don't even make a bad joke about being squeezed in.
So I was late. Big deal. In the end, what was the worst that happened? I lost 4 pounds from sweating, I screamed at a couple of people, I burst into tears at Nordstrom's, and I got a blister from speed-walking in flip-flops.
Oh, and I may have knocked over a baby stroller or two.
Coming in August:
- I Get a Colonoscopy so you don't have to (possibly with exciting video!)
- I Go to Toronto so you don't have to
- I . . . something about Zombies so you don't have to

I hate Old Orchard. I don't know why. It's not like it's anywhere near as annoying as, oh, Oakbrook or that wicked place out in Aurora.
Oh, I bet I know! It probably has something to do with the fact that Mom liked to drive to Old Orchard. And Mom driving was not a good thing because (a) she was almost certainly intoxicated and (2) always got lost.
Yep. I hate Old Orchard. And the Edens Expressway. And Golf Road. Especially Golf Road. Have they repaved it yet… or is it still got potholes big enough to swallow a VW Bug?
Ok, I don't miss EVERYTHING about Chicago.

That is my worst fear: being late to anywhere I go. Doesn't matter who I am meeting. I will sit and wait gladly for over an hour for whoever is meeting me.
But *I* don't want to be late.
And when you said you had to run and you were sweating crazily I *knew* you couldn't wear deodorant because of the mammogram.
I had my first one last year in January. Thank God for the cold weather.
Wasn't the pain a let down? It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. I guess that's a good thing, eh?
Glad you're done with all of that.

Really, they have mammograms at Nordstrom's??? Here, I have to go the hospital and my post-mammo shopping just doesn't compare with that!!
Jul 31st, 2008 at 6:19 PM
I never knew they had mammograms in Nordstrom, either! You can get your mammogram and then treat yourself to a new bra after they have been smashed out of shape.

Jul 31st, 2008 at 7:24 PM
My first mammo– my nurse was about six feet tall and she kept ADJUSTING THE MACHINE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. The third time she sent me on pointe because she went up instead of down she tittered (ha!) and said, "Oh, I'm SO SORRY. The pedals on this machine are so tiny and I have big feet!" Yeah, and you can make a crescent roll out of my right boob right now. Thanks a bunch. Even worse; I was so distracted and freaked out (this being one of those 'something is going on we don't like so come in for a mammo' kind of visits) I forgot to take off those nipple stickers they put on. Until about six hours later. When they were good and, ah, adhered.

THAT was traumatic! I fear the inability to find the right place more than actually being late. I don't usually pay much attention to the details like where and when my appts are, my own fault right. So I totally relate to your unexpected detours! And all for the privilege of getting booby mushed! Yikes! You need a drink! Or several!

Thank you so much for being late for me as I HATE BEING LATE!! In fact, when I was in college, even if I was going to be 3 minutes late, I didn't go. The thought of everyone turning around while the professor stopped talking, all on my account, was….just was….ugh!
Now, as for a mammo, good for you for getting it done! You can do that for me from now on too since getting my all new and slightly improved boobs 3 years ago, I no longer have to get mammos.
Cardiogirl, I have to say though, as far as the test not hurting, try having a mammo after giving birth and trying to dry your milk up. That's a pain like no other!
Hope all turns out well for you, girly!

Anywho, Flip-flop blisters are the worst! Ouch.
I know when I worked at a Dr's office, we were very unforgiving when it came to late people. I used to get such a kick about being semi-mean to people who were 10-15 minutes late. And then it happened to me.

Girl you made me mammo-guffaw so loud, just like always. I love you for that.
When I lived near Chicago and worked in retail, we were forever having to call the "Old Orchard store" to see if they had in stock what our customers wanted which for some odd reason we never seemed to have at Southlake Mall out in the sticks of Northwest Indiana.
Speaking of which, the most hellish mall there (in Northwest Indiana) is River Oaks. OPEN-AIR, mind you, in a place where it does good to get above two degrees Fahrenheit during the day for at least nine months out of the year. The wind whips through those "courtyards" and cuts you like a knife as you schlepp along with your many packages.
No one ever asked me to have a mammogram at any mall, though. Thank God.
And if the worst thing that happened to you today is that you lost four pounds (albeit via sweating) and a wannabe nurse receptionist was rude to you (what else is new), I hope I have a day like that soon. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

AHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry to laugh at you, but I can't help it! You're so funny!
And I'm so lucky. My mammograms are done in a mobile unit at our doctor's surgery (office). It's always there (unless you get a call back, in which case you get a letter with the address and directions on it) and it's about five minutes up the road.
My eyes are still watering though, from Shieldmaiden's six foot tall nurse who adjusted the machine in the wrong direction!!! Crescent-roll shaped right boob! OUCH!

I've never seen a mammogram counter at my neighborhood Nordstroms. I must investigate the services they offer for menfolk – like doing my testicle monthly exam.
Aug 1st, 2008 at 4:42 AM
They squeezed you in to squeeze you in. That's comedy gold!
How very patronizing of them.
Why should you sweat it out? If you had been there on time, you'd have waited in the waiting room anyway.

Oh god that's so funny! I just started with a new PCP, and I had 2 addresses for her. The first one sounded right as it was on a road peopled by physicians, so I left with enough time to get there 15 mins early. It was the wrong address! And the other one was 10 mins away in a huge maze of complexes! I ended up walking in 5 mins late and was so pissed off I could hardly see straight. At least I didn't have battle the mad crowd of strollers though which is one of the many reasons I rarely go to the mall.

When the doctor is late, it's like oh, well he's running behind…..blah blah blah. Next time you'll get there early and if the doctor is late, make him wait. Tell him he doesn't get to see your boobs for another, ohhhh….20 minutes.

I hate being late too, but it always seems to happen. Even if I leave early – something like this happens where I end up late anyhow. I wonder why I try to make it on time.
Aug 21st, 2008 at 6:49 PM
JD, so are truly hilarious. I wasn't even late but I totally felt your fear and the rush you were in, I even started reading very fast. Thank god I was wearing deodorant!! And I am just like you: I hate being late and more importantly hate other people who are always late, it is so impolite, annoying and even condescending (owh well I am late, who cares?they'll wait..)
May 5th, 2010 at 11:29 PM
Oh my, poor dear. Everything is a hassle but you went above on this one. I write down the place next to the number in my contacts because they keep changing places where I need to go.
Nov 3rd, 2010 at 6:40 PM
OMG! I hate being late! but worse is when someone else is late or flakes and you've been running like a madman to get there on time! DRIVES ME CRAZY! Thanks for the article!

Felt Face Game
By: Not Just a Housewife
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
The felt face game is a homemade travel activity to make and use with your kids. These easy crafts for kids will keep them occupied for hours.
You can find this project and more kids' crafts in our free eBook, Family Fun Crafts: 16 Craft Ideas for Kids!
- Scissors
- Card stock paper
- Pencil
- Felt
- Draw a basic face shape, eyes, a few different noses, ears, some mouths, eyebrows, accessories like bows and flowers, maybe some glasses. I wait until I have cut out the face shape before I draw the hair. Then they will match up.
- Cut them out and then trace them onto the felt.
- Cut the felt pieces out and you're done!
More tips:
- I have four boys so I didn't focus on the girls as much. You could go all out with fun girly things like earrings, girly glasses, more hair options, etc. I made my first set for a friend 7 years ago and made hair that had two pony tails. The sky is the limit!
- I store mine in a gallon sized ziplock baggie. They are great to stick in your purse and have for church, Doctor's offices, etc.
- I save the pieces I cut out of paper (the "pattern") and the scraps of felt and put them in a folder in my filing cabinet. That way if we loose an ear or mouth I can quickly make a replacement.
- Make them to look like your family members complete with Grandma and Grandpa. I was going to make some Grandpa hair but I didn't have any grey felt.
- Make some hats. A cowboy hat, fireman, etc. Or even an eye patch and bandanna. Then the people can play dress up!

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.

From the Vikings, who pursued the codfish across the Atlantic, and the enigmatic Basques, who first commercialized it in medieval times, to Bartholomew Gosnold, who named Cape Cod in 1602, and Clarence Birdseye, who founded an industry on frozen cod in the 1930s, Mark Kurlansky introduces the explorers, merchants, writers, chefs, and of course the fishermen, whose lives have interwoven with this prolific fish. He chronicles the fiftee ...show morenth-century politics of the Hanseatic League and the cod wars of the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. He embellishes his story with gastronomic detail, blending in recipes and lore from the Middle Ages to the present. And he brings to life the cod itself: its personality, habits, extended family, and ultimately the tragedy of how the most profitable fish in history is today faced with extinction.'' ''From fishing ports in New England and Newfoundland to coastal skiffs, schooners, and factory ships across the Atlantic; from Iceland and Scandinavia to the coasts of England, Brazil, and West Africa, Mark Kurlansky tells a story that brings world history and human passions into captivating focus.''--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

perhaps most relevant to this project—safety. The IOM operates by convening ad hoc committees of the nation's experts, invoking policies and procedures developed over many years to ensure the advice is free from sponsor or other interested-party influence, unbiased with respect to the questions at hand, and based on evidence.
The last case of smallpox in the United States occurred in 1949. General vaccination against smallpox—accomplished with cutaneous administration of a closely related virus, vaccinia virus—ceased in the United States in 1972, when the threat of smallpox disease disappeared due to eradication efforts, which were declared complete by the World Health Organization on May 8, 1980. Only two official stocks of smallpox (variola) virus remained—under the auspices of the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union. It has often been rumored and suggested that some of the virus possessed by the Soviet Union could have been given illegally to people attempting to use the virus as a biological weapon, though factual evidence to support this concern has not been made public. The events of September and October 2001 increased U.S. concerns about all types of possible terrorism, including the potential for biological terrorism. Thus, attention turned to considerations of initiating vaccination against smallpox. CDC has been concurrently developing "post-event" vaccination plans (mass vaccinations after a smallpox release) and—the focus of this committee—"pre-event" plans (precautionary vaccination of smallpox response teams, first responders, and the general public).
On December 13, 2002, President Bush announced his policy on pre-event vaccination against smallpox (White House, 2002). Vaccination of select military personnel, including the president in his role as Commander-in-Chief, began immediately thereafter. At the time of this writing, voluntary vaccination of state-based teams of public health disease investigators and of hospital-based teams of health care workers (who would respond to the first case of smallpox, should it ever appear) is scheduled to begin in late January 2003. The president has asked that this round of vaccinations be completed as quickly as possible and that a broader vaccination effort commence thereafter. As currently understood, the subsequent vaccinations will encompass the voluntary vaccination of all health care workers and those commonly defined as first responders, such as firefighters, police, and emergency medical personnel. Vaccination of the general public is specifically not recommended, but the president also announced the intent to provide vaccinations to those members of the public who request the intervention. The IOM's Committee on Smallpox Vaccination Program Implementation met for the first time December 18-20, 2002, to begin addressing their charge, stated most succinctly as providing advice on how best to implement the policy as announced by President Bush.
The committee has not been asked to, and will not, comment on the

Disaster Recovery
U.S. homeowners face housing disasters every day, from large-scale natural disasters such as Louisiana's Hurricane Isaac in 2012 to localized problems such as Nashville's 2010 floods.
These problems can seem insurmountable from many aspects; not the least of which is who to call to get the process started. Disasters typically affect many house systems, requiring multiple repair providers.

MHEC Resolution
In October 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) released a new regulation for higher education institutions. The new regulation requires an educational institution to be "established by name as an educational institution by a State through a charter, statute, constitutional provision, or other action by an appropriate State agency or State entity…" and be "authorized to operate educational programs beyond secondary education, including programs leading to a degree or certificate." The regulation becomes effective on July 1, 2011.
In light of this new regulation, the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) has created a resolution to ease the burden of complying with the USDOE Regulations on Program Integrity Issues (75 FR 66831 – 66975). The MHEC ResolutionPDF authorizes Maryland community colleges, by name, to operate in the state of Maryland.

Surfaces coated with this liquid are called "superomniphobic surfaces". The coating is good at repelling water, oil, concentrated acid and alkali solutions, and even polymer solutions. So, maybe soon, we will see a simple yet formidable protective coating for surface applications enter the commercial market.
Almost any liquid that you throw at a surface coated with this new chemical is thrown off, so claims the team. According to one report in Chemistry World quoting Professor Anish Tuteja from the University of Michigan, it's always been a challenge before chemists to create a coating that can repel "non-Newtonian" fluids (your ketchup, gravy, and so on). While a lot of effort had gone into creating 'self-cleaning' superomniphobic surfaces that repel both oily and water-based liquids, less attention was paid so far to non-Newtonian fluids. But the new film will tackle even the latter.
Researchers at the Michigan University tested over 100 liquids and found that only two of them were able to penetrate the coating. The new film can repel common substances like coffee, soy sauce, vegetable oils as well as toxic substances like sulphuric acid. The coating is a mixture of rubbery plastic particles, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), fluorodecyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), and liquid resisting nanoscale cubes which was developed by the US Air Force. It hugs the porous structure of the surface it is applied to, creating a web within those pores.
The surfaces are also highly resistant to chemical attack. Tuteja and his group covered one side of aluminium plates with their material and dunked them into baths of concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The uncoated sides of the aluminium were quickly attacked, but the coated surfaces remained protected.
But there still remains one problem to be licked. By Tuteja's own admission, if you scratch this coating too strongly, it peels off. That's the last challenge before him prior to introducing it as a commercial product.

Robot explorer would make water landings on alien worlds
The University of Arizona's Wolfgang Fink has a different vision of what robot missions to other worlds should entail. His proposed tier-scalable reconnaissance involves sending a variety of different 'bots to work together instead of just one specialized lander. Here's his Tuscon Explorer II (or TEX II), which is designed to skim across alien bodies of water.
Right now the TEX II looks like little more than a plastic crate full of electronics, a bundle of cables, a couple of cameras, fans and some pontoons. That's probably because right now TEX II is little more than a plastic crate full of electronics, a bundle of cables, a couple of cameras, fans and some pontoons.
What it represents, though, is an autonomous platform that could "be used to explore the lakes of liquid hydrocarbon known to exist on Saturn's largest moon, Titan," according to a release by the University of Arizona. While TEX II would cover a lake's surface area, say, it would be supported by "a hierarchy of intelligent, autonomous robots that could include satellites, airships or blimps, and a fleet of rovers and lake landers," which is what tier-scalable reconnaissance is all about.
TEX II is the second robot Fink has produced as he builds his robotic tiered recon team. The first was a ground-based rover, which you can learn a little more about in this video right here. (Also worth a peek: the Wikipedia page for tier-scalable reconnaissance.)

Who is shooting suspect Kurt Myers?
Kurt Myers is the man police allege shot six people Wednesday in Herkimer County, four of whom died.
Very little information is being released in regards to the 64-year-old Myers.
His address is listed as 32 South Washington Street, the house where Wednesday's events started with a reported structure fire. Governor Andrew Cuomo said guns and ammunition were found inside his residence.
He does have a small police record. State Police say he was arrested for DWI in 1973 in the Town of Webb.

Top 10 reasons Manny remains unsigned
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on January 27, 2009 9:45 pm
10. Still looking for that $15,000 diamond he lost while sliding into third on a rehab assignment.
9. Scott Boras still wants to swing deal for "Manny Being Manny" reality show.
8. Accidentally started complaining about his contract before he signed.
7. Still looking for the right stylist to handle that 'do.
6. Show of solidarity with Jason Varitek.
5. Just realized that ITT Tech has over 100 campuses nationwide where he can train for an exciting new career.
4. Stuck in the batting cage when his pine-tar covered helmet got tangled in the netting.
3. In jail after another jaywalking offense.
2. Going on QVC to sell more household appliances.
1. Can't find a team other than the Red Sox with a bathroom in the left field fence.
Thank you, I'm here all week. Two shows on Fridays and Saturdays.
13 Responses to "Top 10 reasons Manny remains unsigned"
Lets say Manny DID sign with the Giants. Who protects him in the lineup? Who's going to prevent him from getting walked in every big situation?
No one ever protected Barry Bonds, and he did OK. That whole thing is overrated. A guy like Manny will produce plenty of runs during the year. What about when he hits a three-run homer in the second inning and the Giants never trail? Now there are no "big at-bats" for him to be walked in the seventh, because he won the game in the second. Manny's not coming to the Giants anyway.
They shouldn't sign him because he's not a winner. They shouldn't sign him because he's a bad influence on the young players on the team. They shouldn't sign him because he's a malcontent prima donna…just like another HOF left fielder. BR/BR/And Jeff, I think Matt Williams, Jeff Kent, Will Clark, Andy Van Slyke and Bobby Bonilla would respectfully disagree with your assessment that Bonds never had any protection.
He won in Cleveland, he won in Boston, he carried LA to the playoffs…you're right, he's not a winner. I'm not even a Manny fan per se, but I'm not oblivious to his positive impact to a lineup as well as the financial benefit of having him in LF each day/night.BR/BR/If by "bad influence" you mean that he would set an example of offensive excellence, demonstrates how to approach an at-bat or that he could show that you don't need to swing at every single pitch regardless of it's location/count/situation then you're right, he is a bad influence to young players.BR/BR/That "malcontent prima donna" as you put it was the best thing to happen to the Giants since Mays, I think fans and the Giants owe him a huge thanks for all he did on the field.
Not a winner? Manny has done nothing but help teams win! He helped two Boston Red Sox teams win World Series, getting the WS MVP in 2004. He helped get the Indians to the World Series in 1997. And just this season he was the catalyst that drove the Dodgers to the NLCS. Say what you will about his attitude, but there's no possible way to claim this dude isn't a winner.
Jessie, the last year Kent was behind Bonds was 2002 (first half only, then Bonds was behind Kent). I'm pretty sure Bonds won the MVP in 2003 and 2004, mostly with the likes of Edgardo Alfonzo, Jose Cruz, Benito Santiago and Pedro Feliz hitting behind him.BR/BR/Also, the move to Tampa had already been rejected before Peter Magowan entered the picture. It's a common myth that he "saved" the team from moving.
its a bad idea because hes a one-year rental on a team that is looking to the future. 2009 will be a fun year, where we have a chance to contend, but throwing away 2010 for matt holliday is insane. Now…if he played 3rd base and had 3 years left on his contract, i'd be all for it.
So they shouldn't sign him because they don't have a big bat behind him? So you'd rather have another mediocre/crappy hitter in lieu of ManRam on the basis that at least that batter will be pitched to?
If I were Giants fans, instead of pinning my hopes on Man-Ram, I'd be hoping that Sabean has enough smarts to be on the phone with Billy Beane and discussing trade options for Matt Holliday when the trade deadline comes around…if not before hand.
Actually, the best thing to happen to the Giants since Mays would be the sale of the team to Peter Magowan, who saved the Giants from being moved to Tampa Bay.
Jeff, but surely you get my point; the Giants were stuck in a bad stadium with no idea of how to get out of it until the Magowan group came along.
Why is trading for Holliday such a bad idea? I don't get the logic….unless you're gun shyafter the A.J. Pierzynski for Boof Bonzer, Francisco Liriano and Joe Nathan deal….
Such lively discussion on a post that was supposed to be joke.
ESPN harvests a ton of content from Manny Ramirez. This is your opportunity to do the same!
there is no way in hell we trade for matt holliday this season.
that's about the worst idea i've heard so far (up there with trading cain for fielder).

In this anime drawing lesson you learn how to draw anime faces of different characters with the help of the same proportional outline.You can draw along as I explain how to draw a cute kid, a pretty woman and a fierce assassin warrior step by step.
All faces are shown in the same stages of drawing next to each other.
So you can draw only one character at a time, or all simultaneously, just as you like.
Draw the outline with very slight lines.You'll have to erase them later.
- Draw a circle and divide it in half with a straight vertical line.
- Divide the circle into three parts of equal height with two horizontal lines.
Then extend the vertical middle line below the circle for one third of the circles height. Put a little mark at its end.
- Draw two tangents from the mark to the circle.
(A tangent is a line that touches the circle's side at only one point.)
Now your finished outline has four parts of equal height:
1. The top of the head for weird anime hairstyles.
2. The forehead for brows and bangs.
3. The area for the eyes.
4. The place for chin and mouth.
The nose will sit just in the middle between 2 and 3, where the circle is cut by the middle line.
With the outline set up we can now dive into the steps how to draw the kid, the woman, and the assassin.
The text contains a lot of details how to draw each single part of the face and how they fit into the characters style.
If you want to get the general idea how to draw anime faces with this method, just scroll down and look at the pictures only.
They show very well how you fill out the template until you arrive at the finished face.
Have fun!
Their shape will have a strong influence on the character's look.Choose them according to the type of person you want to draw.
Children usually have very round faces, so let the lines bulge out a lot.
Make the chin pointy, which is quite common in anime.
Note that the lines touch the circle where it is cut by the eye-line.
Her face is supposed to look rather fragile.
So make her face thinner and draw the lines only up to the point where the tangents touch the circle.
Round her chin, but make a rather angular bent into the lines halfway through.
This gives here a more adult like look.
The assassin is supposed to look very masculine and stout.So give him a very broad chin.
Draw it with a straight horizontal line.
Then draw two lines to connect the chin with the circle at the eye-line.
You can see in the picture that they are rather curvy.
Let them bulge out once in the middle to indicate the assassin's jaw.
Then let them arch out a second time shortly before they touch the eye-line.
This will give him a bony cheek.
Mark two spots on the eye-line where you want to draw your eyes.
Make sure that both have the same distance from the middle line.
Then draw the eyes in, so that they just touch your marks on the eye-line from below.
First Row: Basic Eye Outline.
The child's eyes are very wide apart and very large. This is typical for children, but of course exaggerated in anime drawings.
Draw the eyes so big that they almost touch the circle below and give them an oval shape.
Draw the woman's eyes a bit closer together.
Give them the shape of a circle and make them slightly smaller than the child's eyes.
The marks on the eye-line should sit pretty far apart for the assassin's eyes, because the eyes only touch them with their outer corners.
Draw his eyes with three lines:
First, start from the marks and draw two long arcs towards the middle line. These are his upper eyelids.
Let them bend downwards to give him an angry look and make them come close together in the middle.
Second, start from the marks again and draw two more lines that arch slightly towards the middle line, but make them point downwards much steeper.
Finally draw his lower eyelids, starting from the lower ends of the second lines.
Make them bulge upwards so that it looks like he is narrowing his eyes to a fierce gaze.
Second Row: Pupils, Highlights, Eyelids
The pupil should usually have the same shape as the eye, only a bit smaller.
The larger you make it, the friendlier the look will be.
Draw the pupil as an oval into the eye's center.
Then add a tiny circle for a highlight into it.
Draw a bean-shaped highlight above the pupil.
Set it slightly to the left side.
Make the eyelids big and simple.
They are two curved lines that touch the eyes above and below.
Note that they are extending the eyes far on the left and the right.
Draw a big circle into each eye for the pupils.
Then add two more circles for highlights:
A very small one into the pupils and a bigger one on the upper left of the eye.
This second highlight should overlap the pupil a little bit.
Her eyelids are rather narrow on top and bottom of the eyes.
The upper eyelids arch inwards a little at the outer corner of the eye to give her a melancholic look.
Just draw two little circles into the eyes.
The assassin doesn't get any highlights, because he is not supposed to look cute.
Third Row: Lashes and Brows
Add three big lashes at the outer corner of each eyelid.Then draw in the brows.
They have a shape like water drops.
Add three eyelashes to each eyelid.
Her brows are just two short and very thin lines (she surely groomed them a lot).
Draw two very thick eyebrows that point downwards.
Make them touch the eyelids at the inner corner of the eyes.
This will make his look even angrier.
Add two down pointing spikes at the upper end of each eyebrow.
Then draw a scar over one of his eyes.
First Row: The Nose
The child's nose is round and simple, like everything else.
It is just a slightly sloped line.
The woman has a typical pointy nose. These noses are very common in anime.
But a nose like that would still look to cute on the assassin, so give him a rather broad nose, like a foot with three toes.
Second Row: The Mouth
For the child just one more simple line again, making it smile.
The woman's mouth consists of three lines.
The first one, for the upper lip, arches upwards and has a little bulge that goes down right under the nose.
It is as broad as the distance between the eyes.
The second line indicates where the lips meet each other.
And the third line, for the lower lip, arches downwards.
The line for the assassin's mouth is straight and only points down a little at the corner of the mouth, to keep his look angry.
Also add a small second line below to indicate the underside of his lower lip.
Third Row: The Ears
The child's ears are just two narrow ovals that have about the same height as the eyes.
Note how the woman's ears point a bit sideward because they have to fit under the circle (if you look at the finished graphic at the beginning of the page, you will see that the woman's right ear will be hidden under hair. So you don't need to draw it).
Here is an enlarged view for the woman's and assassin's ears so that you see the details:
First you draw the ear's outline (red).
Make it thin for the woman and rather broad for the man, to fit their style.
Bulge the outline in a little to separate the earlobe clearly (red arrow).
Note that the woman's ears just touch the eye-line, while the assassin's ears reach above it.
The most important thing for the second line is that you let it arch outwards over the actual ear opening (blue arrow).
Then draw the ear opening and the other lines that are shown in green to bring the ear alive inside.
Make the ear opening round for the woman and square for the man.
Always fit little details like that to the general style of your character and the look will improve a lot.
I think the graphic says it all.
Just take care to leave a bit of space between the hair and the circle.
Otherwise the hair will look to flat.
And don't forget to add the neck in the last step.
Add some final details after erasing:
- Give the kid's eyes some diagonal strokes for decoration.
- Shadow the woman's upper eyes.
- Fill in the assassins eyebrows.
The only thing that's left to do is to color your new anime drawings!
You can use the colored pictures at the top of this page as a guide, if you like.
Isn't it amazing how you can draw anime faces in very different styles with the help of the same outline?
It is a great method that you can use to create your own anime characters.
And I encourage you to do exactly that!
Just play and experiment a little.
You will come up with your own individual ways how to draw anime faces.
And that will be even more fun than anything else!

American Idol has named its lucky Season 13 winner.On Wednesday's two-hour finale of the Fox reality singing competition, the finalists had the opportunity to sing with some of their biggest idols in a star-studded extravaganza. Who found their musical soul mates? And more importantly, was Wild Card pick Jena or rocker Caleb crowned the winner? Read on for our breakdown of the night's performances or skip to the bottom for the results.read more
Ryan Seacrest teased a "shocking twist" that would send Idol Nation's collective head spinning at the beginning of Thursday's American Idol, and any longtime viewer knows that never bodes well. Would the finalists get to eliminate one of their own? Would Randy Jackson offer some valuable feedback? Would Grumpy Cat cast the deciding vote? Read on to find out what happened.
C.J. Harris has come a long way from playing bars in Jasper, Alabama to making it to the Top 6 on Season 13 of American Idol — and his journey wasn't without a few bumps along the way. Harris weathered some pretty harsh criticism on the show about his singing style, but that was nothing compared to some of the prejudice he faced back home when he was first starting out as a musician.
"I would go in some bars and people didn't want to see [me]," Harris told TVGuide.com this week. "It didn't matter how good I was. They didn't want to hear it. I've had people walk out on me. I've booked shows back at home, and I'd come and play the show, and the owner would come up to me and say, 'Hey, people just aren't enjoying your music tonight. We want you to cut it short.' It was obviously because of one reason. I've dealt with that."
Encouraged by his father to sing, Dustin Watts auditioned for American Idol to see how far his passion will take him. Does he have what it takes to be the next American Idol?
Woodland, NC native Kenny Harrison was inspired by his grandmother to perform. He feels he has the talent and the personality to be the next American Idol.
Citing his mother as his biggest inspiration, Nicholas Rodriguez believes he's the next American Idol. Learn more about his story.

On American Idol Thursday night, Grumpy Cat once again stole Ryan Seacrest's thunder at the top of the show.

American Idol has officially entered the homestretch. With less than a month to go in Season 13, we're at the point where each contestant will have to tackle not one, but two songs per show. Tonight's theme? "A little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll."
With 12 performances to squeeze in, the show doesn't waste any time in getting to the performances, and we won't either. But first, an observation: After tonight's show, it seems as though the Final 6 can easily be divided into a Top 3 (Jessica, Caleb and Jena) and a Bottom 3 (Sam, Alex and C.J.), as far as who's a real contender to win this thing. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments!
American Idol is zero degrees from Kevin Bacon after The Following star commandeered Ryan Seacrest's intro Thursday night for its result show. Awesome. But more importantly, one singer saw his or her dreams dashed.

It's Competitors' Pick Night on American Idol, where the Top 7 finalists get to pick songs for their competitors, and each singer gets to choose one of six options. Did anyone go the sabotage route, or was everyone altruistic?
The show finally finds something for Randy Jackson to do, as he introduces the theme of the night and interviews each singer about what they would select for their counterparts. (Everyone seems to be playing nice, for the record.)
American Idol's Malaya Watson explains why she almost didn't audition
So, what did the finalists ultimately decide on? Let's get to the performances:
The judges may have used their save on Sam last week, but this week, one person actually did go home. Was Sam able to redeem himself with his take on "Time After Time"? Or were his efforts to connect with his fans all for naught?
