What's the eighth planet from the Sun — the one that's big, blue, cold and buffeted by supersonic winds? If you didn't immediately come up with the answer "Neptune," don't feel too bad. The outermost of the four gas giants — a category that also includes Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus — isn't a celestial object that most of us think much about, in part because it's so far away that it can't be seen with the unaided eye.
Though Neptune was discovered back in 1846 by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle, scientists didn't know all that much about the planet until the Voyager 2 probe did a flyby in 1989, which resulted in the first close-up photos of Neptune and a wealth of other information. Pluto's recent demotion to dwarf planet status gives Neptune added significance, in that at 2.8 billion miles (4.5 billion kilometers) from the sun, it's now the most distant of the true planets in the solar system, according to NASA.
Here are 10 of the more interesting facts about the faraway behemoth.
10: Neptune Almost Was Named "Le Verrier."
When the Italian astronomer Galileo first glimpsed Neptune through a small telescope in 1612 and 1613, he marked it down in his charts as a star. It wasn't until the late 1830s that a French astronomer, Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier, charted an odd irregularity in the orbit of Uranus, which at that time was the most distant planet that had been discovered. Le Verrier figured out that Uranus's path was being influenced by the presence of another unknown planet, and calculated the precise location in the heavens where he thought it would be found. Using that information, Johann Gottfried Galle, an astronomer at the Berlin observatory, needed only a single night of searching to discover the new planet in 1846.
Galle wanted to name the planet after Le Verrier, but the international astronomical community apparently didn't believe in naming planets after anyone but Greco-Roman mythological figures. So, the new planet was named for Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. A century and a half later, when close-up photos of the planet showed it to be a brilliant, ocean-like vivid blue, the name suddenly seemed more appropriate.
9: A Year on Neptune Is a Long Time.
Because Neptune is so far from the sun, it takes a long, long time for it to complete an orbit. The Neptunian year lasts the equivalent of 164.79 Earth years, which means that only one year has passed on the distant planet since it was discovered in 1846. Neptune tilts on its axis at 28.3 degrees, a similar angle to Earth. For half of its year, its north pole is tilted toward the sun, while its south pole is tilted in that direction during the other half. Like the Earth, Neptune has seasons, but they're extremely long by our standard; summer, for example, lasts 41 years.
8: In Certain Regions of Neptune, the Length of the Day Varies by as Much as Six Hours.
Like the other giant gas planets, Neptune doesn't have a solid surface. That allows different regions of the planet to rotate at different speeds. At the equator, Neptune completes a rotation in 18 hours, while near the poles, the day is just 12 hours long. This phenomenon is called "differential rotation," and Neptune has the most extreme differential of the four gas giants.
7: Like Saturn, Neptune Has Rings.
Astronomers first found evidence that Neptune had a ring system in 1984, but it wasn't until 1998 that they combined data from terrestrial and space telescopes to image Neptune's rings for the first time. They're not uniform, but are composed of four thick regions, and are made of dust, according to NASA. The planet has six known rings, which are named Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Adams, Leverrier and Arago.
6: Neptune Has a Lot of Moons.
Voyager 2 discovered six previously unknown moons orbiting Neptune, giving it at least 13 natural satellites. Triton, the biggest moon, orbits the planet in the opposite direction of the rest of the moons, which scientists say means it may have been captured by Neptune in the distant past. Triton is really, really cold; the temperature on its surface is about minus 391 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 235 degrees Celsius). Voyager 2 spotted geysers on Triton's surface, spewing jets of icy material 5 miles (8 kilometers) into its thin atmosphere. Triton's atmosphere, oddly, seems to be getting warmer, though scientists don't know why.
5: Nobody Knows Why Neptune Is Such a Vivid Shade of Blue.
The blueness of Neptune comes from the methane in its atmosphere. But that doesn't explain why it's such a brilliant shade of blue, compared to, say, Uranus, which also has a lot of methane in its atmosphere, but is more of a blue-green hue. Scientists suspect that Neptune's peculiar blueness is caused by some yet-unknown component of its atmosphere.
4: Neptune Has Really, Really Nasty Weather.
For a planet that's so far from the sun and receives so little solar energy, Neptune has really, really energetic weather. Its winds are three times stronger than Jupiter's and nine times stronger than those on Earth, according to NASA. And its storm systems are monstrous. In 1989, for example, Voyager 2 tracked an oval-shaped, counterclockwise cyclone in Neptune's southern hemisphere, dubbed the Great Dark Spot, which was big enough to contain the entire Earth. The giant storm moved westward at a speed of 750 miles per hour (1,200 kilometers per hour).
3: If There Were Radio Stations on Neptune, the Reception Would Be Pretty Bad.
Neptune's magnetic field is 27 times more powerful than the Earth's, according to NASA, and its polarity is reversed. But that's only part of the difference between Neptune's and Earth's magnetism. Compared to Neptune's rotational axis, the main axis of its magnetic field is tipped by about 47 degrees. This misalignment causes Neptune's magnetosphere to undergo dramatic variations in the course of the Neptunian day, as the planet rotates in the solar wind (that is, the stream of charged particles ejected from the Sun).
Of course, since Neptune has no inhabitants, the potential effect of all that magnetic weirdness on radio transmissions is kind of moot. But Neptune's magnetic field does produce other strange phenomena. For example, the giant planet has auroras, similar to the northern and southern lights on Earth, which are caused when energetic particles strike the Earth's atmosphere and spiral down the magnetic field lines near the poles. But because Neptune's magnetic field is so complex, the auroras occur over wide regions of the giant planet, not just at the poles, according to NASA.
2: It Would Take a Long Time to Get to Neptune.
We're not sure why you would want to go there, since its methane-laden atmosphere, intense gravity and non-solid surface would make landing inadvisable. And besides, the 5.6-billion-mile (9-billion-kilometer) round trip would take up a good portion of your life, if you survived the journey. Voyager 2, the robotic probe that became the first (and so far, the only) Earth spacecraft to reach Neptune, took 12 years to get there. Voyager 2 flew about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) above Neptune's north pole, the closest approach that it made to any of the planets, and then got to within 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers) of Neptune's largest moon, Triton, according to NASA. Unlike human astronauts, there wasn't any worry about getting Voyager back to Earth in one piece. After visiting the eighth and outermost planet, the probe simply continued on its journey out of the solar system.
1: Neptune May Be a Giant Diamond and Oil Factory.
A 1999 study by University of California-Berkeley scientists simulated the atmospheric pressures of the gas giants Neptune and Saturn, which are believed to be 100,000 to 500,000 times that of the Earth's. When subjected to that intense of a squeeze, the scientists found that Neptune's methane would decompose, with some of the hydrogen atoms breaking away and leaving the carbon to be compressed into pure, tiny diamonds. The remaining hydrogen and carbon atoms chained into hydrocarbons, similar — though not quite identical — to the petroleum pumped from underground deposits on Earth, according to Reuters.

Power to get you out of (or into!) anything.
Gas mileage (of course).
When America Knew What Building A Great Truck Was. — These are the last of when trucks were built right. And unlike anything made today, your average Bronco can just as easily get you to work as it can get you in trouble. Fun trouble. You'll never want for power, in fact when you can visibly see the fuel needle moving you might want for less. But that's okay. These were made in the day when fun was affordable and some of us like to remember that. Some tips for better mileage: -Roll your backseat forward as often as possible to distribute the weight more easily. (Or just remove the thing) -Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant. About 6-8oz in every other full tank. I also tend to dump a bottle of Seafoam every other month or so. -I hope this doesn't need to be said but, K&N Filter. You'll be surprised. With these and (sometimes) careful driving I can get about 15-16 city and 18-19 hwy. Do yourself a favor and skip over any automatic you find. The trans has a tendency to lag when tooling around town and hang on in third til you give it some throttle and back off til it upshifts. Waste of gas and torque. I suppose an Auto Bronco is better than no Bronco, but this beast was made with fun in mind. Eddie Bauer Edition: Very nice trim. Keep the leather well treated or you'll be prone to tears in the breathable stippling- Meguiars makes some of the best. Your rear window will (WILL) leak without proper reapplication of weatherstripping every couple of years or so; as such the carpeting in back will hold in any moisture and rust out your bed. Suggestion: tear it out and Rhinoline or Diamondplate the cargo bed. And most importantly, enjoy what proper American engineering feels like to drive.
Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

1995 Oj Mobile. — This truck has served me well. It is built like a tank. I cannot seem to get it stuck. It is horrible on gas, but that is ok. I can still smoke any little honda that tries, and if they do pass me, i can drive over them. This is by far one of the funnest most versitile vehicles I have ever owned or driven.

It's a Ford Bronco- a true classic in all incarnations.
A little thirsty, but I can afford it so I'm not complaining.
It Is Probally The Best Vehicle I Have Ever Driven. Easy To Work On, 4wd, Moves Fast For Its Size. — It is an amazing Beast. I love this truck. From now on, there will be a Bronco in my driveway. It will last you forever if you take care of it. The 351 Windsor really helps it move, and is an amazing, if thirsty, performer. I have one of the only ones in my town and get compliments from everyone. I even had a guy in a 208 BMW 7 series roll down his window and tell me how great looking my truck is. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

everything but gas
15 mpg
1995 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer — got this truck mid summer in El Paso Texas, and the first thing that got my attention was the way it looked like you could throw anything at it, and it would keep on going. after getting it stuck 4 or 5 times i realized that i need bigger tires and a lift but that will come with tax time. over all this is the nicest truck i have ever driven, its easy to park and very roomy. and unless you take it in a reservoir that it just rained in it wont get stuck. over all a beautiful truck.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Space, power, reliiability, durability, V8, 4WD, comfort, safe, Full Size
Bit weak A/C system, no rear disk brakes configuration.
Aview Over The 50 Years Old Ford Bronco! — Nothing like the handling of an IFS system well tunned with double shock absorbers on each of the Massive 31 x 10.5 x R15 A/T of the Bronco, Its awesome how you can really rely on the massive and sturdy stabilizer bars on the front and the rear ends, once you changed the comon black rubber for polyurethane ones... The truck feels stiff and firm, no matter the terrain. When talking about Building quality, it only haves one weakness tnat can be solved adding an extra link on the chassis on the front area of the engine to avoid craking the engine bridge that links the chassis to the IFS system, once you did that linkage using a sturdy bar, the truck its almost undestructible. The trransmission system its very strong no matter if you´re running on the M50D wich is the Mazda Manual 5speed Transmision or the E40d wich its the 4speed overdriven electrical automatic shift transmision. This automatic transmission, by the way, its the swiz watch of the ford tansmissions, it works so efficiently and smoothly that you´ll harldy notice the shiftings. Engine talking... The only V8 engine I´ve tryed its the 302EFI, and I got no complaints, its an amazing engine, so reliable as army stuff, 400.000km on it and stills haves beatifull compression and no oil comsumption, and mines V8 haves 275 thousands Km and the vacuum of the valvetrain stills working beautiful, its a powerful engine, that can take you wherever you want to go, you have available plenty of torque from the 1400rpm and a flat curve of HP from 1800, so in the manual transmision set you can travel at 130km/h in a diesel like 2300rpm. This truck never breaks, only maintain it and it will last more than you, so the overall cost of having it is not high at all. Only take care about the brakes, because as it is a really heavy truck (more than 2 tons) the brake system is constantly under heavy pressure and stress. The best part of being a Bronco Owner is that you´ll be able to travel fast, safe and confortable as long as you want to go, but when de road ends... just rely on your Low range 4WD and the power of its small block heavy duty Iron V8 engine, and you´ll see how far it can take you withou worrying about space, because there its PLENNTY! its a terrific truck! No more words about the full size Bronco, for me its a Ford emblematic car that represents the spirit of the make just like the Mustang.

engine power, reliability, comfort, no frills
middle brake light shorted constantly
Solid Rig, My Barbie Bronco! — Had the "Barbie" Bronco for 8 years, and really enjoyed it. It had an awesome small block 5.7L V8, and had great torque. I took good care of it, and in return, it took good care of me. One small issue was the vehicle speed control unit, it smoldered one day in 2004 and fried the plug (no big deal to me, I never used cruise control) but it also affected my horn it rendered it useless (used my horn all the time, argh!). Then in fall of 2005 Ford sent recalls out on that exact part. The Bronco had a removable top, but I had heard through other Bronco owners that the seal breaks once removed, and a new (expensive) seal is needed to put it back on, so I opted out of going topless. Plus the fact that the top was heavier than a whale and you'd need a football team to remove it pretty much solidified my choice. Overall, VERY sturdy rig, powerful engine, great in snow, roomy and comfy, modest interior/exterior, and it saved my life in the freakiest accident... I loved and miss Barbie. Why did Ford stop making the Bronco?? I would buy a new one if they brought it back, and they should go retro like they did with the 'Stang! (I would love an optional 6 speed manual!!)

Apple Fest
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Apple Seed Spitting Contest - see who can project apple seeds the farthest or with the most accuracy
Make Caramel Apples - stick a wooden popsicle stick in the core of an unpeeled apple. Melt some caramel and dip the apples. Let them cool on wax paper and enjoy!
Bob for Apples - fill a big basin or washtub about 2/3 full of water. Put in several apples (they'll float), but not so many that the apples make 2 layers in the water. Give people a time limit to grab an apple in their teeth.
Apple Bowling - set up some 1 liter bottles partially filled with water in a pyramid shape. Stand back about 15-22 feet, and try to knock over the bottles by rolling an apple at the bottles. Can be done in teams or individually. The winner is the person who knocks down the most bottles in 10 (or however many) rounds.
Apple Carving - Carve apples into fun shapes. You can define a theme like "Prophets" or "Scriptures" or "Autumn".
Apple Stamping - cut chunks of apples into simple shapes, like triangles or squares. Dip them in paint, and make pictures. You can make apple crafts too -- cut an apple in half, so that the apple core shows through. Use the shape of the apple to decorate pillows, paper or canvas bags, aprons, jackets, sweatshirts, or anything you like. See an example here
Apple Paring Contest - using a potato peeler or a knife, see who can make the longest unbroken strip of apple skin.
Apple Animals - Using gum drops, red hots, Bugles chips, marshmallows, or any other fun treats, create apple animals. Treats can be attached with frosting, peanut butter, or toothpicks.
Apple Treats
Apples with Worms - Use an apple corer to remove the core from an apple. Fill the hole 2/3 full with peanut butter, and insert a gummy worm in the peanut butter, with part of the gummy worm hanging over the side of the apple.
Tons of Apple Recipes - can be found at Family Fun.

There is an apple related
Submitted by Amy Burton (not verified) on
There is an apple related treat that my kids love. It is called "Smiles" and requires red delicious apple slices, creamy peanut butter, and plain minature marshmallows. You take slices of red delicious apples and spread the peanut butter on a single side of each slice. Then you place the minature marshmallows on end in the peanut butter (to look like teeth) and then put the other apple slice on top (with the peanut butter side down). When my kids were little, we sometimes used to use toothpicks to keep everything in place, but it was never for long as the smiles were quickly eaten.

Everyone is telling the Republican presidential candidate the contest is over and he can't win it. But he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
There was a time when Rick Santorum and his team were resigned to losing the Republican presidential primary.
Surveying the harsh realities of the landscape the campaign faced, the candidate and his staff began to discuss what the most dignified and artful way to exit the race would be. It was time, they figured, to accept that they'd done their best and fallen short.
"As late as December, we were already talking about 'Oh well, we did our best, maybe we can try again in four or eight years,'" a Santorum campaign insider told me. "And then the Iowa surge hit."
Three months and 11 wins later, as Santorum continues to prosecute a race he has almost certainly lost, such talk is banished within his tight-knit circle. The mood, according to multiple sources inside the campaign and close to Santorum, is one of defiant optimism. Ever since Iowa, after all, they've basically been playing with house money. In fact, the Santorum campaign seems these days to inhabit an alternate reality -- one with its own logic, its own perspective and even its own mathematical rules.
The pressure on Santorum has become intense. National Republican Party leaders and heavyweight Mitt Romney supporters have been calling nonstop, "encouraging him to be the better guy and they'll help him do whatever he wants to do," the insider said. But Santorum, who's made a career of bucking the GOP establishment, is unbowed.
Instead, his campaign is working to shore up and inventory its stock of delegates, reaching out to unbound delegates and superdelegates, trying to get them to go public to bolster the impression that Santorum isn't the only one who believes there's still hope.
"The bottom line is, this guy's a fighter," the insider said. "From Day One people have been telling him, 'Get out, get out.' But you're less inclined to believe the national media writing you off" when you've heard it so many times before.
To be sure, tempers are getting a bit frayed as the campaign's version of reality bumps up against that of the wider world.
Nowhere was that more evident than in Santorum's clash on Sunday with the mild-mannered New York Times scribe Jeff Zeleny, who had asked him to clarify his latest scorching attack on Romney. Leaning across the barrier that separated them, shaking his head and pointing, Santorum radiated a palpable fury. "Stop lying," he said. "Quit distorting my words. ... C'mon, man, what are you doing?" Rather than move on, Santorum kept coming back at Zeleny, who stoically chewed gum as restive members of the crowd rumbled their disapproval.
The reporter in this interaction seemed a stand-in for the gelling media consensus that it's over for Santorum, a consensus he sees as a fabrication of the Romney campaign and angrily refuses to allow inside his increasingly bunkered worldview. But Santorum isn't really angry at the media -- he's angry at the facts.
And the facts are stubborn. By one calculation, Santorum would need to win three-quarters of the delegates at stake in the rest of the primaries to close the gap. On Meet the Press on Sunday, former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour said, "Unless Romney steps on a land mine, he looks like he's be the nominee." It's as if Santorum heard that statement and said, "See, I told you there's a chance!"
Santorum and his team wouldn't be so angry if they didn't think there was still a real possibility they could prevail. By contrast, look at Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, who seem to be enjoying playing out the string with no sense of urgency about the losses they're piling up. "I'm cheerful about going forward," Gingrich said on Friday -- speaking like a man who'd come thoroughly to terms with being out of contention.
Santorum, on the other hand, is genuinely frustrated that his sense of possibility is not more widely shared.
"We're not out there making wild claims. We're not saying we're [ahead] right now," Santorum strategist Hogan Gidley told me. "We're saying this can be done. There's still a lot to play out here, a lot of votes to be given. It's going to take winning some states and getting some delegates. ... We've got a path. Romney says nobody else can get to 1,144 [delegates], but neither can he."
"Romney says nobody else can get to 1,144 delegates, but neither can he."
Santorum is still winning states, after all -- on Saturday, he beat Romney in Louisiana by a nearly two-to-one margin, 49 percent to 27 percent. He still draws sizable crowds to his campaign appearances -- hundreds of supporters who still believe, who tell him his voice is needed, who implore him not to give up. And he is still the target of a vigorous negative campaign from Romney and his allies.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y470p was released just last month and has quickly caught the attention of many buyers who want a portable laptop with gaming capabilities for under $1,000. The Y470p sports an AMD 7690M graphics card, a big improvement over the Nvidia 550m graphics card the plain old Y470 comes with. You have the choice of either an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor depending on how much you want to spend. The Y470p we have has the Intel Core i5-2430m processor and was purchased for $749 during a sale event at Lenovo.com. The full specs of the Y470p we have is below:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-2450M (2.50GHz, 3MB cache)
- Graphics: AMD Radeon 7690M 1GB
- Memory: 6GB RAM
- Display: 14.0" 1366 x 768 resolution, glossy finish
- OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- Storage: 500GB HD 5400RPM
- Optical Drive: DVD Burner
- Battery: 6-cell Li-Ion
- Wireless: Intel 1000 BGN 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1
- Ports: HDMI, VGA out, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, one USB 2.0 / eSATA combo Ethernet (RJ-45),
- Dimensions: (WxDxH): 13.6″ x 9.4″ x 0.8″ to 1.3
- Weight: 4.85lbs
- Warranty: 1-year
Y470p Unboxing
The IdeaPad Y470p arrived in a black box with an orange handle, somewhat suggestive of the actual design used on the laptop.
Inside the box the laptop was braced by a couple of Styrofoam holders and then a box with documentation and power cord inside.
And here's everything out of the box, you get the Y470p laptop, battery, power cord & adapter and then setup manuals and guides:
The shipping for the Y470p took only a week from order on Lenovo.com, most impressive, the quoted time was two weeks.
Lenovo Y470p First Thoughts
I did a quick video overview of the Y470p that I posted to YouTube and you can watch below:
Lenovo Y470p First Thoughts
We recently reviewed the Lenovo Y570, and basically everything that was said about that laptop in terms of build quality and design holds true for the Y470p. The case material used in the Y470p is a strong ABS plastic with a stamped aluminum finish on top. The Y470p lid has a unique looking brown/grey coloration with dimpled design pattern made to look like that of a circuit board. This design comes on top of a brushed aluminum finish, but the aluminum is just a thin skin on top of ABS plastic. It is not solid aluminum like the MacBook Pro or HP Envy lineup is. Around the lid is an orange color trim for a bit of design flare. Upon opening the laptop you will see an inside that has a brush metal finish with a slight purple tinge to it. At the top of the keyboard are some media buttons with purple backlighting. The one annoying thing regarding the design is a glossy bezel around the screen that goes out of its way to attract fingerprints.
One cool thing about the Y470p is that the graphics are switchable between integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics and the dedicated AMD 6790M. You can manually switch graphics by right clicking on the desktop and going into the AMD Catalyst Control Center, you can even select which applications use dedicated versus integrated graphics:
The performance from the AMD 7690M graphics will be enough to play just about any modern game, you may need to tweak the graphics settings a bit in a game such as Skyrim to get the frame rates in the 30 range, but you won't have to sacrifice too much detail to get there. We ran a couple of benchmarks to demonstrate the synthetic performance you can get using PCMark Vantage and 3DMark 11:
|PCMark Vantage Score
|Lenovo IdeaPad Y470p (Intel Core i5-2450m, AMD 7690M, 6GB RAM, 5400RPM HD)
|6,727 PCMarks
|HP Pavilion g6z (AMD Fusion A4-3305M 1.90GHz, 4GB RAM, 5400RPM HD)
|3,322 PCMarks
|Lenovo ThinkPad X130e (AMD E-300 1.30GHz, AMD 6130, 4GB RAM, 5400 RPM HD)
|1,981 PCMarks
|HP Folio 13 (Intel Core i5-2467M 1.60GHz, Intel HD3000, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD)
|9,026 PCMarks
|Dell Vostro 1440 Review (Intel Core i3-370M, Intel HD, 6GB RAM)
|4,931 PCMarks
|Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420 – Intel Core i5-2410m 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM
|6,056 PCMarks
|Dell Vostro 3450 – Intel Core i5-2410m 2.30Ghz, 4GB RAM
|5,901 PCMarks
|Dell Inspiron N411z – Intel Core i3-2330m 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM
|5,285 PCMarks
|Lenovo ThinkPad T420 – Intel Core i3-2310m 2.1GHz, 2GB RAM
|3,204 PCMarks
|3DMark 11
|Lenovo IdeaPad Y470p (Intel Core i5-2450m, AMD 7690M, 6GB RAM, 5400RPM HD)
|Dell XPS 17 (Core i5-2410m 2.30GHz, Nvidia 550m, 6GB RAM, HD 7200RPM)
The one bottleneck in the Y470p is the slow 5400RPM hard drive. That can be remedied by inserting an mSATA SSD in the mini PCIe slot that's open like we did with the Y470 reviewed last year. That'll cost you around $180 and is only recommended for techies that know what they're doing, the performance payoff is substantial though.
There's more to cover regarding the Y470p, we'll be back with a full review next week!

We begin our look at the coldest temperatures ever recorded on all seven continents in the world's coldest location: Antarctica.
The image above shows the location of the -135.8 satellite sensed temperature reading compared to the location of the Vostok weather station.
A recent report from NASA says that satellites have remotely sensed temperatures as low as -135.8 degrees in the East Antarctic Plateau on Aug. 10, 2010. Since this temperature was observed remotely and not from a land-based weather station, it's not an official world record.
The World Meteorological Organization recognizes the Russian Vostok Research Station as the record holder in Antarctica with a bone-chilling temperature of -128.6 degrees on July 21, 1983. The Vostok station is also located in eastern Antarctica, to the south of where the satellite-sensed temperatures in the -130s were measured.
(MORE: Vostok, Antarctica Weather Now)
According to Chris Burt of Weather Underground, the single coldest month on record at Vostok was August 1987 when the average temperature over the entire month was -104 degrees.
The warmest temperature ever recorded at Vostok was 10 degrees above zero on Jan. 11, 2002.

470HP AWD Hybrid Mitsubishi Eclipse

edited March 21 in Mitsubishi
I agree it does show great promise, we'll just have to see. The styling is an improvement over the current car imo, which is too similar to a certain domestic brand with all that ribbing and what not.

Okay, let's try this again...
An automotive website which cannot be named describes Mitsubishi's Concept-E for the next generation 2006 Eclipse. The director of the Mitsubishi Design Center says it has a 269HP V-6 powering the front-wheels and a 200HP electric motor powering the rear wheels. He also says it would run about $6-8K more for this hybrid powertrain.
A 470HP AWD sports car for $30-32K sounds pretty cool -- and even if it ends up being just 350HP and $35K, that's not too shabby.
However, another major news site says the new Eclipse will only be powered by a gasoline engine (no hybrid), but no word on whether it would be FWD, RWD, or AWD.
Also the first unnamed website says the transmission is a computer-controlled manual, while the second unnamed website says it's an automatic that can be shifted manually...

Well, I just read the R&T cover story on the Concept-E and all I can say is, "Hmmm..."
First of all, 4000 lbs? That seems a little weighty even for a 470HP car.
Second, it looks like there are actually three engines.
1. A 200 HP DOHC V6 powering the front wheels
2. A 70 HP electric motor assisting the V6 powering the front wheels
3. A 201 HP electric motor powering the rear wheels
During low speeds, the 70 HP electric motor powers the front wheels alone. At higher speeds, the 200 HP V6 joins in on the front wheels. During hard acceleration, the 201 HP rear electric motor provides additional power. This system was manufactured by Rod Millen.
On one hand, 471HP! On the other, that sounds like an awfully complex powertrain, and one that is primarily FWD. Hopefully, in the production setup, the rear motor would also kick in to provide neutral handling (as opposed to understeer) during hard cornering.
R&T was able to get a 0-60 time of around 5 seconds, though the smaller front electric motor wasn't hooked up (so only 400 HP was available).
The worst-case scenario would be for the hybrid tech to just be a gimmick, and for Mitsu to come out with a 3500-lb Galant-based Eclipse with the existing 200 HP V6. If anyone from Mitsu is listening, don't do it!
eclipsegt Posts: 1All i have to say is that i have a 2000 Eclipse GT and a 2003 Eclipse Spyder GT, and i have been waiting 4 yrs to find a turbo for either car and still nothing so i can say that i am definatly going to add the new 2005 to my collection, and finally have an eclipse with some balls.
dsm4life Posts: 1Its based off the galant platform and from what ive heard from sites and magazines, the eclipse having a hybrid dual motor is doubtful. Couples reasons being the cost and that it would be competiting with its own, the Evo. So mitsu wouldn't be expecting to sell as many of these since they'll be side by side with the evo and thus, they will have an overstock of one or the other. If it comes with a hybrid engine, expect that to either be a limited edition, or an upgrade from their motorsports parts (like scion and trd). Hopefully when they said the new eclipse, galant, and endevour were all the same platform, part of "Project America" since their built at the old DSM plant in Illinois, this may be the return of the 4G63 since its already in use in the Evos.

A majority of those in the latter category have had high school experience and are considered by Director of Forensics, Professor Dean F. McSloy, to be capable of developing during their careers here into one of the most formidable forensics groups Whitman has had.
In the three tournaments held so far they have won approximately 65% of their debates and have ranked high in individual speaking events. Six more meets are on the schedule.
As a result of the outstanding work done by Whitman debaters in the East during the past few years, invitations to tournaments have been extended by many of the nation's finest institutions: Princeton, Harvard, M.I.T., University of Chicago, and Caltech to name a few. At least one national meet will be entered.

Elementary School Bans Valentine's Day Cards And Candy Over "Cultural Equality Issues"
Boys and girls at a Massachusetts elementary school have been banned from bringing Valentine's Day candy or cards over cultural equality issues and federal guidelines regulating candy.
Parents of students at Salemwood Elementary School in Malden, Mass, received a letter informing them of the policy – that impacts not just Valentine's Day – but all holidays.
"We have many different nationalities, cultures and languages spoken," Principal Carol Keenan told Fox News. "Because of that we don't honor specific holidays."
Keenan said she did not want some students feeling left out.
"This is done with all good intentions – to have all students be accepted, to have all students feel like they belong," she said. Malden is the second most-diverse city in Massachusetts and the school is home to students from 67 different cultures. David DeRuosi, superintendent of Malden Public Schools, defended the principal's decision – explaining that with new residents and new mandates "certain traditions we have to modify and adapt."

It's offical, Liberalism has cracked the melting pot.Noteworthy Comment +11
SALEM, Mass., eh? Isn't that where the WITCH TRIALS were held?
Are they going to (figuratively?) burn a Valentine-giver, candy-eater at the stake?
I say, BURN THE PRINCIPAL AT THE STAKE!+9
Better yet, erect a "stake" site near the school entrance (on private property, of course) with a homemade sculpture of a Valentine being burned, along with a Whitman's Sampler.+7
Boobie – it's Malden, not Salem but Malden is not far from Salem (a few towns separated).
I don't understand why they don't explain and share all holidays with the kids. They can easily learn about other cultures and appreciate them more – and noone would be left out. Heck, even U of MO is honoring pagans and wicka's now.+9
I HATE the likes of her. Ruining childhoods.+8
So, to honor all cultures they kill the American culture?
@cfm990, right on.Noteworthy Comment +12
So what do Muslims give their goats and sheep on Valentines day? A Whitman's sampler of oats, some old moldy flowers or do they give their animals vacuum cleaners and other household items. Enquiring minds want to know.+4
"We have many different nationalities, cultures and languages spoken," Principal Carol Keenan told Fox News. "Because of that we don't honor specific holidays."
Keenan said she did not want some students feeling left out."
This statement demonstrates the problem much more clearly than I could. For starters, these students should all be the same "nationality", American.
Next, the way you prevent any student from being "left out" is by making sure they are included in activities that promote assimilation into American society, not by banning the activities themselves.
We have gone to extremes in this country in the misguided attempt to welcome any and all foreign cultures to come here and set up shop just like they used to do in the old country. All of us are supposed to become "culturally sensitive" in order to accept "diversity". What we get are ongoing fiascos like this one in the public schools, Islamic honor killings, Afro-American students rioting with Somali-American students, bans on displaying the American flag or even saying "Go USA".
This stuff is all straight out of Wonderland, and even Alice would have a hard time making any sense of it all. After abortion, big government is the harshest act we voluntarily bring upon ourselves.Noteworthy Comment +19
@ aardvark -
Historically (Sat. AM cartoons), empty tin cans.+3
Sell MA to China, they know what to do with liberals+6
"This is done with all good intentions…"
That libtard principal actually said that.
I guess she never heard what the road to Hell is paved with.
But, what am I thinking? Of COURSE she didn't.
@Chieftain, great rant.Noteworthy Comment +11
"Chieftan" got it right! Assimilation, people! This is America. How about we don't insult Americans and make them feel left out.+8
is it child abuse to let your children be "educated" in the public school system yet?
socialization? why bother, so your child can be bullied by not only the other students but by the "educators" and staff themselves?+6
So, they believe that some cultures don't *do* LOVE.
How *telling*.+7
It's either diversity or safety. DHS could bring it down too, ya know.
With a school stuffed full of candy, all the kids need is a bucket of molten potassium chlorate and the whole school could melt to the ground.+4
"Malden is the second most-diverse city in Massachusetts and the school is home to students from 67 different cultures."
If they are attending your school, then they are AMERICANS you twisted F*CKING SCRUNT. The only thing that is diverse are the two, lonely positively charged cells in your brain!+6
In the aftermath of 9/11, my son's middle school made a banner to send to a school in New York. All the kids were encouraged to sign it with a message of hope and encouragement. At the open-house later that month, the banner was on display. Parents were noticing that there were alot of whited-out patches on the banner. When the principle addressed the parents, the first thing she explained was that some of the students had written "God bless you," "We're praying for you," or a reference to a bible verse or to God. These were not acceptable because "not everyone believes the same way." Such sentiments had to disappear.
Exclusion and intolerance in order to teach tolerance and inclusion. It's the Liberal way!+7
I can see some former student someday suing the school for 1.3 mil because she did not get the same number of valentine cards as the pretty girl. So i think the loony principal was just protecting the shcool's money.
Jeesh what a bunch of complete blubbering idiots we have to live with.+3

|The Onyx is Brunotti's beginner to intermediate board of choice for progressing through the tricky early stages or for moving on to more advanced techniques, such as jumps, spins, and transitions.
The moderate rocker line is a good compromise in design between speed and manoeuvrability. Multiple foot strap inserts allow a newbie to ride in a variety of configurations and, of course, the Onyx comes complete with a grab handle for transport or 'board-off' style jumps. Although ideal as a beginner-intermediate board, it's also a great light-wind board for those 10-15 knot days. The slight single concave shape on the bottom provides extra lift for an early plane with extra grip. All the usual Brunotti bells and whistles are added to the final product such as ABS sidewalls, wood core and G-10 fins, of course.

Supervisors of the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) have rejected a proposal to reprobe the "Guo Meimei" controversy that stoked public suspicion over the charity's credibility two years ago.
The RCSC social supervision committee made the announcement at a press conference on Friday, citing voting results from a recent committee meeting.
The RCSC, a major charity in China, has been battling public mistrust after Guo Meimei, a young woman who claimed to be a chief of an organization with RCSC links, posted photographs online flaunting her wealth in mid-2011.
The issue triggered concern over how donations are used by the country's state-run charitable organizations, though an official investigation later that year ruled out any link between Guo or her wealth with the RCSC.
Jin Jinping, a committee member, said on Friday some members did raise the reinvestigation proposal and that the charity previously publicized a formal report on the incident after police-led investigations two years ago.
However, the committee, an independent panel that was created in December last year as a third-party body to supervise the charity, has no legal power to open such investigations or summon any of those concerned as a witness, she said.
Jin said committee members believed that the committee should advise the RCSC to coordinate with authorities concerned to probe the incident when new evidence is available.
Meanwhile, Huang Weimin, secretary general of the committee, said no committee member continues to have financial links with the RCSC after they were selected as members of the RCSC's social supervision committee.
"Considering public concern over possible connections, we've decided after discussion that no committee members shall participate in any project of the RCSC or provide any paid service to the RCSC during their tenures or within one year after the expiration of their terms," said Huang Weimin, secretary general of the RCSC's social supervision committee.
In May, a whistle-blower who claimed to have insider information said that the RCSC's social supervision committee was not qualified as a third party to monitor the scandal-stricken organization due to financial links and business connections.

Enjoying one of the most prosperous four-year periods in Wesleyan women's soccer history, the Cardinals will be looking to expand the series to a fifth season as the 2012 campaign is set to start Sat., Sept. 8 with a trip to NESCAC foe Bowdoin. Wesleyan posted its finest record since 1994 during the 2011 campaign with a final mark of 9-6-1 and reached the NESCAC tournament semi-finals for the first time after winning a shootout vs. Tufts, 5-3. After failing to qualify for the NESCAC playoffs during the opening eight years (2000-07) of NESCAC tournament play and winning just eight NESCAC games, the Cardinals have made the playoffs each of the last four seasons and posted a 15-17-5 NESCAC record over the span. Overall, Wesleyan has a cumulative 29-23-7 record from 2008-2011.
Quad-captains Laura Kurash '13 (#8, photo upper left), Hannah Knudsen '14 (#6, photo lower left), Mikaela Curtin '13 (#21, photo upper right) and Jen Brewer '13 (#4, photo lower left) will be leading the veteran Cardinal squad that boasts 15 returning letterwinners and eight starters back from a year ago. Kurash has been a NESCAC honoree each of her three seasons, receiving NESCAC Rookie of the Year and second-team all-NESCAC laurels in 2009, and first-team all-NESCAC in both 2010 and 2011. She also was an all-New England choice a year ago by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America as well as a District II CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-American. She netted more than half of the team's goals with 13 tallies along with four assists for 30 scoring points. Six of her 13 goals were game-winners. Over her three years, Kurash has racked up 28 goals and 10 assists for 66 points. Knudsen started all 16 games in 2011 on defense while Curtin played every game with 13 starts and ranked third in scoring with two goals and two assists. Brewer, a steady force on defense in 2009 and 2010, played just three games in 2011 due to injury. She will be a welcome addition for 2012.
Other returning starters for the Cardinals include #2 scorer Kerry Doyle '14, who picked up five goals and seven assists in 2011 as a forward ; Hannah Stone '15, who had a goal and an assist from her spot on defense ; middie Clare Ashforth '15 ; defender Brynn Hansson '15 ; and goalie Jess Tollman '15, whose career-best 17-save effort at Tufts in the NESCAC playoffs kept it a 1-1 game through overtime. Tollman had a 1.30 GAA and a .837 save percentage with three shutouts while starting 15 of 16 games in 2011.
Of the remaining six letterwinners back, three started at least one game with Kaylin Berger '13 pacing the group as she played in 15 contests with a goal and an assist to her credit. Maddy Chabot '15 and Katy Hardt '15 were consistent contributors as well. Also back are Michele Drossner '14, Katie O'Brien '15 and Hannah Jellinek '15. Six newcomers will join the ranks in 2012 with several expected to make key contributions from the get-go.

Humidity 93%
Winds 6.9mph
Humidity 93%
Winds 6.9mph
Jul 3, 2013 5:38 AM by Meteorologist Juan Acuña
CORPUS CHRISTI - Thanks to high pressure out to the west and low pressure out to the east of South Texas, our weather pattern is not going to change much over the next several days as dry air continues to filter into the area which will lead to relatively cool nights (for Coastal Bend standards) and still hot afternoons.
Today will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy, only a lonely stray shower, with highs reaching the upper 90s for almost the entire area with the exception of right along the coastline. Record temperature of 97 will be challenged. Winds: ESE 10-20mph
Tonight will begin mostly clear with higher based clouds moving in overnight with near record lows in the lower 70s.
Fourth of July festivities still look to be fantastic with highs in the middle to upper 90s and a gentle breeze throughout the day. The pertinent weather pattern will finally break up heading into the weekend and moisture from the Gulf will finally return and give way to just a few showers for the end of the weekend and into next week. Most of all, humidity and winds will be on the rise.

On-Page Search Engine Optimization
This Few Step On-Page Search Engine Optimization Guide will help you optimize your website pages, so they will have the best chance to get found by your target market. The Guide outlines the most important factors to consider when optimizing each page on your site. These steps are listed based on importance, so don't skip a step. Also, remember that creating new optimized content on a weekly basis is critical to achieving long-term success with SEO.
The First Step : Choose Keywords Read the page's content and identify two keywords that are most relevant to the overall page content. Choose one primary keyword relevant to the page's content and one variation of that keyword (e.g. plural
variation or two closely related keywords) per page. If you can't identify one primary keyword for a page, you'll need to create new website pages to separate the different content. If it's not clear to you what page is about, then your visitors and the search engines won't be able to understand the page either.
The Second Step : Page Title The page title appears as the blue, bolded, underlined text on a Google search results page, and also on the top left the browser bar. The page title should follow these guidelines:
@ Be under 70 characters with no more than two long-tail keywords per page title
@ The primary keyword should appear first
@ Each keyword phrase should be separated by pipes (|)
@ Each page title on your website should be unique
@ Except for your homepage and contact us page, each page title should NOT include your business name.
The Third Step : Meta Description, the meta description appears on a Google search results page under the Page Title. The meta description helps people decide whether to click on your result, or a result above or below you. Think of it as a call to action. The meta description should follow these guidelines:
@ Be under 150 characters (but not under 100 characters; take advantage of the space you have)
@ Incorporate the primary keyword and at least one secondary keyword
@ Provide a valuable, compelling reason for why someone should visit the page
@ Include keywords in a conversational format; don't just cram in keywords for the sake of listing them
The Fourth Step : URL, the website page's URL should include the primary keyword. Each word in the URL should be separated using dashes (-).
The Fifth Step : Heading Tags, the page should have one H1 heading tag that incorporates the primary keyword, and should align with the page title and the URL or the page. This H1 tag should appear at the top of the page and should be the first thing people see when they arrive on a page.
The Sixth Step : Page Content, use your primary keyword a few times throughout the page's content. Don't over think keyword density or placement, you should mention them naturally. Try to bold or underline the keyword at least once. This has an effect on how relevant the keyword is to the page. Also mention the secondary keywords when you can.
The seventh Step : Add a Call to Action, every website page, including your blog, should have at least one call to action above the page's fold (Don't make your website visitor scroll down to see the call to action). Calls to action can help SEO by creating an internal link on your website to a specific landing page. Most calls to action are images; therefore you can optimize the image filename and alt text for the primary keyword you're targeting on the page (Last step).
The eighth Step : Internal Links, if you mention the primary keyword of this page on other pages within your site, then link to this page using the primary keyword as the anchor text. For example, you should link to a page about inbound marketing
software using the anchor text "inbound marketing software." To make sure this is completed, take a moment to create one or two links on related pages that link back to the page you're optimizing.
The last Step : Images, any images used on the page should be optimized so that search engines can "read" the image. Optimize the most prominent image on the page using the primary keyword, and then use the primary and secondary keywords for any other images. Images can be optimized in two ways:
@ File name: Each word should be separated with dashes (-), e.g. marketing software.jpg
@ ALT text: The alt text should match the file name, without dashes, e.g. Marketing Software
If you are unable to change image file name or if it's too time consuming, then only change the most prominent images' alt text using the primary keyword.
Meta Keywords
your primary and secondary keyword in the page's meta keywords. Smaller search engines still might use them in their algorithm, but major search engines do not use them.
