There has always been a lot of wishful thinking about other life in the universe. Is there or isn't there other life? Saying there has to be other life doesn't make it true. The evidence is accumulating? It is too early to get excited. Suppose this planet is all there is? Now there's a thought to dampen the excitement. As far as we know, Earth is very unique until we find another one. Has anyone read anything about Martian soil having any organic matter capable of growing food for explorers? It takes more than water to survive. Even after the moon landings and the return with lunar soil we did not see any headlines about it being able to grow food.
Published April 3, 2014
A substantial ocean most likely exists beneath the icy surface of Saturn's diminutive moon Enceladus, raising the possibility that primitive forms of extraterrestrial life exist in its briny depths.
The ocean lies between the moon's rocky core and a layer of thick ice, and is estimated to be about the size of Lake Superior. That's large for a moon that is only 310 miles (500 kilometers) in diameter and could fit within the borders of Arizona.
In our solar system, the only other moon known to have similar contact between liquid water and rock is Jupiter's Europa. Both the rock and the water are considered to be essential for the chemistry that could, over eons, turn nonliving matter into living entities.
"The main implication of our work is that there are potentially habitable environments in our solar system that are entirely unexpected," said Luciano Iess, an aerospace engineer at the Sapienza University of Rome and lead author on the study published Thursday in the journal Science.
The surface temperature on Enceladus is -180 degrees Celsius (-292 degrees Fahrenheit), but enough heat is produced by tidal forces that flex and melt the ice to create liquid water below. That the ice is heated by the effects of Saturn's gravity—the source of those tidal forces—rather than by radiation from the sun, Iess said, reinforces the theory that even distant and frigid celestial bodies might be habitable.
"This strong indication of a regional sea under the ice on Enceladus heightens our interest in Enceladus as a possible habitable world," said Carl Pilcher, former director of NASA's Astrobiology Institute.
Mapping a Moon With Gravity
Scientists were surprised in 2005 when images taken by the Cassini-Huygens mission revealed substantial jets of salty water were spitting out from the south pole of Enceladus. Later, close flybys produced dramatic photos of the geysers and the additional discovery of carbon-based, organic compounds being released from nearby darkened fissures called "tiger stripes."
Those discoveries strongly suggested there was water below the surface, but imagery alone could not confirm the liquid's presence. The scientists had to use the Cassini spacecraft in a different way, in effect turning it into a divining rod. (See "Ten Best Pictures From NASA's Cassini Probe—Saturn, More.")
During three flybys Cassini made of Enceladus between 2010 and 2012, scientists studied the moon's gravitational field in detail by measuring ever-so-slight shifts in the satellite's path. The gravitational field of a moon or planet subtly varies due to changes in the density and amount of land or liquid across its surface. The changes in that field can affect a spacecraft orbiting above.
Cassini scientists used Earth-based radio telescopes from the Deep Space Network to measure those tiny gravity-induced changes in the satellite's path, and to then indirectly map facets of the moon below.
Comparing those gravity measurements with the moon's topography allowed researchers to conclude that large amounts of liquid water were present well below the surface. Key to the research is the fact that liquid water is 7 percent more dense than ice, which means it produces a greater gravitational effect.
"To get our data, we had to detect exquisitely small changes in motion with a pretty impressive precision," said co-author David Stevenson, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "That was new, but the rest of the story of how to understand masses from our data is basically Newton's laws of motion."
Stevenson said that while the team's understanding of the water on Enceladus remained "somewhat fuzzy," members were quite confident that a reservoir had been found about 25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 kilometers) below the surface. The ocean, or sea, is estimated to be in a layer about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from top to bottom, lying between ice and rock.
The team was convinced that the water was present in the south polar region—where the geysers and tiger stripes are found. However, there was not enough data to determine whether it might spread farther around the globe, Stevenson said. The ocean under the surface ice of Europa, a much larger moon, has been determined to circle its globe.
Good Place to Look for Life
Although the gravitational data painted only a very rough picture of the composition of Enceladus, the findings go a long way toward explaining some of the surprising features of the tiny and frigid moon.
In a teleconference Wednesday, several members of the team said it was increasingly plausible that the water vapor in Enceladus's geysers is coming from the subsurface ocean and up through what Stevenson called the moon's "plumbing," to the tiger stripe region on the surface.
Jonathan Lunine, a planetary scientist and astrobiologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and another member of the Cassini team, said the organic material detected earlier in the plume and around the tiger stripes increases the possibility that some form of life exists, or once existed, on Enceladus.
So too does the new finding that the moon's ocean sits on bedrock. "Like at the bottom of our oceans, liquid water would seep through the rock and pick up nutrients and get warmer," Lunine said. "This makes the interior of Enceladus an attractive potential place to look for life."
Finding that life, though, wouldn't be possible with Cassini. The spacecraft's spectrometer initially detected the organic material on the moon. However, Lunine said, a far more powerful instrument would be needed to determine if complex organics and possibly life existed in the liquid water.
Cassini has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004 and is expected to pass by Enceladus three more times before the planned end of its mission in 2017. The Cassini team hopes to navigate the spacecraft through the geyser plume during one of the flybys to get an intimate look at its composition.
"More studies of the plume material, particularly a sample return," said Pilcher, "would help us understand if life might even exist on this small moon."
Anyone new, cause water is primordial for life, thas we know..., and in the Universe, water exist..
But, no water, its is matter...
I live in São Paulo city, Brasil, and, at now, we are suffering fault of water, no rain, wather changing is stop the rain in our region.... and reservatories are staying empty...
Save Enceladus....
Where there is water...there is life
Just chilling
too cool
I hope there are extraterrestrial marine sea creatures!!!!!!
If we could live on another planet without a problem, I'm going.
So is life possible?
Amazing news!!!!!! Thanks a lot National Geographic
Nice I hope there is life like maybe in europa
Another possibility for life in our solar system ! The solar system gets more and more fascinating :)
Amazing study!
why not?
Nice information
these are great photographers
Love to learn more about Cassini's research! And what news of Titan?
Why are all of the craters concentrated in one general area?
Amazing, it is 1.2 billion km far from us, this water is useless for us. We have to think something else because we have only 2% drinking with us now.
I guess is all salt water.
In order to produce fresh water is need the atmospheric cycles which allow the particles to evaporate, liquefy and run fresh.
Well unless water have special filtering conditions in which water would not mix then you would have your water fresh.
Just my guess.
Provided an excellent learning chance.
I was wondering if it is possible to tell if the water was fresh or salty like our oceans. And if the water that is found on these other planets is found to be salty, what are the chances of it being as equally saline as our oceans. It makes one wonder where all this salt came from if these are all fresh water. Also, I know we did the return mission from capturing debris from a comet. We're they able to tell if that water was fresh or saline?
WHERE? I can't see the ocean from the provided picture. Not sketches or drawings for the underneath ocean?
Not enough news.
thats interesting and very good to know
That's incredible
Good news for our researchers and encouraging too !!!!
if there is water, there is a very high possibility to find life forms... and thats good news
It is fascinating to know that the evidence of life elsewhere in our solar system is slowly but surely accumulating.
seem there maybe life in other planet that we don't know about
Great News !!!!
So far so good.
How come it is possible to take that much clear picture
If you had asked 100 planetary scientists at the time voyager 2 flew by Saturn if they thought there could be life on any of the moons aside from Titan, I would bet you none would have considered it an even remote possibility. This just goes to show you just how much we have learned since then.
Far out...what else can I say?
Then, perhaps, is there fossils or life expressions elsewhere? Is it possible? Isn't the emergence and maintenance of life a process of radical contingency? That is, is a unique and unrepeatable past totally necessary? Or does life emerge through space like mushrooms when some conditions are present? So, how many conditions are necessary: three, four, trillions, infinite? Only one, water or any sort of God? Is God the word that means infinite conditions, absolute necessity? Anyway, how did the life that emerge in a given conditions resist when switching to a different moment? How does life resist time itself, the effects of entropy? But, is it possible for human beings to recognize a simpler life than their own brain only? On the other hand, beyond likeness, is it possible to recognize a complex life than their brain, is this the extra-terrestrial life that some people are searching unsuccessfully? However, is there an origin of life or would it be as finding a cut in the material history of the universe, an infinite void that human language patches now? Along these lines, there is a peculiar book, a short preview in http://goo.gl/rfVqw6 Just another suggestion, far away from dogmas or axioms.
I'm often astonished by how features of planets and moons can be discovered by methods such as these. To be able to infer a subterranean ocean on Enceladus from the slight changes induced in Cassini's flight path is amazing. Full credit to those team members.
What a wonderful success Cassini has proved to be. The immediate future of space flight certainly appears to be vehicles such as Galileo, Cassini, Opportunity, Voyager etc.
I love these stories and very much looking forward to finding out more about Ceres.
@Jenna Ioviero NASA also discovered arsenic life form in 2010, all be it bacteria, and it is known that there is sulphur life here on Earth, again bacteria.
@Joyce Oliveras Quite possible, given the diversity of life here on our planet.
@M. Akhtar : I don't think they are looking for drinking water but rather signs of extra terrestrial life, because where there is water, there is life.
@Dwayne LaGrou The salt and minerals in Earth's oceans are dissolved from the surrounding substrate. A water cycle sees every drop of ocean water cycled through the rocks of the crust every 5 million years. Each drop is subducted at plate boundaries or forced many miles into the crust through pressure. The water is heated and absorbs salts and minerals before being ejected back into the ocean via seafloor springs and geothermal areas at mid-ocean ridges (such as the features we call black smokers).
I think it's presumed that oceans on other planets absorb salts and minerals in exactly the same way the ocean does on Earth. For those oceans to be composed of fresh water would mean that a water cycle doesn't occur which would be most improbable.
@Rodmy Montero It's miles below the surface. Of course you can't see it.

You have to love Elton John...
Just like last July when I joined SparkPeople, I've found myself locked in my own thoughts and being pretty harsh with myself. Thankfully though, I'm not nearly as bad as I was last year. (Yippee!!!)
Seems like I've got to accept that July may just be a bad time for me. Like so many people have a hard time during the holidays, July seems to be my down in the dumps time. This year, thanks to changes in management companies, I lost a full time summer gig to someone with a whopping 1 year of experience, which he gained from me training him over the last year. But, my regular gig, though part time, has given me more hours this summer than ever before allowing me to support myself and take care of me and my girls.
Speaking of my girls... back in April my little one, Star, was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor. She's had surgery since but vets and specialists are pushing for things like radiation and chemo. Plus they've tested her mammary tumors and decided they have "characteristics" of cancer. Now they want to do a complete puppy mastectomy on her; another surgery I don't have money for. Though I LOVE her, I can't sacrifice money I desperately need for little things like rent and my tuition. She's still a bundle of energy so it doesn't look like the cancer is progressing at a threatening rate.
Because of work, the summer and the distance/direction of my therapist's office, I haven't had an appointment in nearly a month. I thought I could deal, thought I was rocking against my depression, but it looks like I forgot the golden rule of my depression - that it may be with me, to one degree or another, for the rest of my life. Maybe I scored myself a new level of denial that I never anticipated. I've also been off my meds for about a month to six weeks. I know!... that was stupid, especially since the interim RX my doctor called in is sitting only feet away from me. Tomorrow though I have my first Dr.'s appointment in 2 years. I want to address switching my meds and I fear she'll want to address my potential high blood pressure. Just maybe, after tomorrow, things will start being a little better, once I'm back on my way to being fully medicated. Looks like I'm at the stage were I'll be medicated for the rest of my life too. I guess that's not so bad since I've already endured the loss of my life long dream of going to my grave with my eyesight and all my internal organs intact. (yes, I dare to dream.)
Thanks for listening... Hope you're looking forward to tomorrow like I am.
After two months I'm still cleaning up after the passing of my father. Even more so than I'd thought, he was a sad soul. Drawers, closets, boxes are all over their apartment, filled with tons of crap and a shocking amount of unopened mail from as far back as the early 2000s. He really made a shambles of their lives, financially and otherwise.
Though I was estranged from them for 8 years, I've taken it upon myself to put things right for my mother. It's all part of our dysfunction. I'm spending days at a time sorting though and trying to organize a life of crap and returning his dumpster "finds" to where they belong. I feel stronger as I'm doing all this but still the scale isn't moving. That's my fault. There was a whole cabinet full of tastycakes, thanks to dad's sweet tooth. Now they're mostly gone, thanks to my own.
I'm happy to have a relationship with my mom again but I've put most of my life on hold to help her. All the additional funds I was hoping for after paying off my car are now going to help my mom. Plus, I need to do 10 years of tax returns for them to help get money back in my mom's hands.
In the mean time, I still can't find full time work, know my unemployment will run out soon, and have once again abandoned my thesis. My life is on hold to repair hers and the stress of it all is making me quite sad. If I'm lucky this is a temporary state, aided by the crappy winter weather. If I'm not lucky, I don't even want to think about it.
The last couple of days have been a realization. Though my ass has been sore since I started walking my girls, and that eased up a bit the last week or so, I've had a severe pain in my ass for about four days. Seems I have a case of sciatica, which WebMD says is a symptom of a disk issue in my back. (Yeah!) 20 odd years of morbid obesity shouldn't make a disk issue a surprise, but it worries me more than other health issues I face. It worries me more than the possibility of diabetes or high blood pressure. A little advil today and the pain is better. (why I waited three days to take simple advil is a mystery to me but...) It's only my third occurrence of this condition in a decade but still it's disconcerting. (please don't urge me to go to a doctor. until obamacare kicks off I'm on my own.)
My second pain in the ass will hopefully be resolved tomorrow.
I've been a friend's bookkeeper for about 15 years and tomorrow is our second IRS audit. I've gone through plenty of them in the past but last time cost my friend to pay tax on $20,000 of additional income. His only reaction was "we're all human" and he's never mentioned it since. (He's a saint.) The year being audited tomorrow was a big year for us and so our books were casually audited by a CPA friend of mine prior to filing our return. This obviously provides a lot of confidence but IRS audits still suck. The irony of an audit coinciding with a case of sciatica though is simply too funny.
Otherwise, life is moving forward and my adapting mind is coming along nicely. I have been rather naughty with taking my meds lately. Somehow it's easier to keep on track with them the busier I am. My only measure for missing my meds is my level of road rage, and today it was up there. What could cause a three lane highway to be bumper to bumper midday on a sunday? well, I can only hope anyone in an accident further up the road, causing the traffic jam, was ok.
Time for more advil...
My seasonal job is over. The summer holiday is past. I'm sitting in my "office" at home getting ready to do some bookkeeping for a friend and little Star has made herself comfy in the corner beside me. I feel so selfish loving the feeling that she's happy just sitting behind me as I work. Selfishly loving the fact that she just wants to be near me. Cookie's on the sofa enjoying time not having her daughter rough housing with her.
We just came back from our second walk of the day. I used the exercise tracker to see the calories I may have burned. Using the slowest walking speed we're burning 430 calories a day; not much but I'll take it. Over a week though, we burn 3,000 calories. That makes me very happy. Star, Cookie and I are two weeks into our lives together and about 5,500 calories burned (accounting for a few work days were we didn't do our 4 walks a day). Unfortunately, my ass is still burning after every walk and I'm anxious for that to stop. Funny the things we pick for goal markers in our lives. I'll feel more fit if my ass stops hurting during and after exercising. How silly am I?
But, for some reason, sometimes things work out well when I throw things together.
It's the beginning of the month and my next day of work isn't for another week. My kitchen in near empty, which should be good for my diet, so I need to be creative with my meals. That's not easy as my title says...
But, I have some leftover chicken tenders that had to be used. I fear throwing out food and seeing dollar signs fill up my trash can. I wanted to recreate the chicken wrap from my favorite Alumni Grill but I have no mushrooms, spinach, pepper, or wraps. Instead I decided to make a simple chicken salad.
with a couple chicken tenders, some crumbled goat cheese, a teaspoon of mustard and a pinch of celery seed, a tasty chicken salad came together pretty quickly. I put it on some whole wheat toast, smeared with mustard, and finished it off with some basil leaves, instead of lettuce.
Obviously, I was surprised by how much I liked it. Just goes to prove, you never know until you try.

Lemon tiramisu is tabbed as the "special" of the house, which says more about the dessert selection than the tiramisu. There are only three offered. The other two are a chocolate mousse cake and a fresh, dense, flourless chocolate cake (torta Caprese) with vanilla ice cream, so if you don't go for cocoa, it's lemon tiramisu or bust. Actually the tiramisu was a bust, without liquor or espresso, really just ladyfingers with lemon mascarpone icing. The coffee tasted as though it had been made at breakfast and kept all day on a lukewarm hot plate.
I find many of Miami's budget Italian restaurants to be lukewarm too, and about as inspiring as vanilla ice cream -- even within the context of elementary expectations. Then again, they all seem to do pretty well. Tinello still has some kinks to work out, but given time I have confidence this humble eatery can likewise attain its goal of successful mediocrity.

This year's annual cleanup of Mecklenburg County waterways will feature a new location and a pilot partnership as volunteers work to improve local water quality.The Big Sweep 2013 will be held Sept. 28 and is part of an international nonprofit initiative that removes garbage from creeks and lakes. Jennifer Frost, water quality educator with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services, said the annual garbage sweeps help improve water quality by removing possible pollutants, as well as remove possible blockages that take up creek capacity and change the path of the water.Iredell and Catawba County Big Sweep events are scheduled for Oct. 5, and Lincoln County's events will be Oct. 12.The Big Sweep cleanup has been in place in Mecklenburg County at least since the mid-90s, said Frost. The statewide initiative started as a coastal cleanup in 1987, according to ncbigsweep.org. Since then, all 100 counties in the state – and 90 countries worldwide – have opted to participate, and more than 11 million pounds of trash have been cleaned from nearly 28,000 miles of waterways in North Carolina alone.Frost said this year's new location in Mecklenburg County is Stewart Creek and – in attempts to recycle some of the trash and debris pulled from area creeks – all local cleanup locations will partner with the city of Charlotte Solid Waste Service for the first time."We haven't been able to recycle, and that's always bothered us," Frost said. "We'll pilot recycling at each location to see what we can (divert to recycling)." While certain types of plastics aren't accepted – and some items will be so dirty they would be considered a contaminant in the recycling process – Frost said organizers are optimistic. "Anything we can divert into the recycling stream, we're excited to try that," Frost said."The most common things (pulled from waterways) are plastic soda bottles, plastic grocery bags and sports balls," she said, noting golf, soccer and tennis balls are routine items.There are typically six to seven locations around the county selected for cleanup each year, Frost said, and sweep locations consider a number of criteria, such as public access and available parking. The Stewart Creek location was selected in part because of those reasons, but also because the surrounding neighborhood has been working toward beautification, she said. "That's usually how it works. We'll try one (location) out and if it works, it stays in rotation the following years."The two locations that consistently see the most volunteers are the sweeps at Latta Plantation in Huntersville and McMullen Creek in south Charlotte. "The University area is a close third, they all equally contribute to pounds of junk pulled," she said. "(Trash) is not usually the criteria we have to worry about... . We have more than 3,000 miles of creeks in Mecklenburg County. That's about the distance from here to L.A.," Frost said, adding it's more than any other major municipality in the state."That's a lot of area to cover, and we rely on their help as volunteers."Each year the number of volunteers who participate in Mecklenburg County fluctuates between 500 and 1,100, Frost said, but the average amount of trash collected locally remains surprisingly steady. "Interestingly enough, they almost always pick 10,000 pounds, regardless of the number (of volunteers)," she said. Participants range from church groups and students working on community service hours to moms and Scout troops, Frost said. "Sometimes people just show up. They didn't know it was going on (but are at the greenway) and just join in, which is always nice to see."Organizers said they often hear volunteer misconceptions that they'll have to physically get into the water – "We never require people to do that," Frost said – or that snakes are prevalent during the cleanup, which is also not true, said Frost. "(Snakes) are usually more scared of dozens of volunteers and usually scurry pretty fast," she said, adding there haven't been wildlife problems in her 11-plus years.

Mecklenburg County Big Sweep scheduled for Sept. 28
Want to go? The Big Sweep 2013 will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 28 at six locations in Mecklenburg County. Family-friendly sites that welcome all ages are Campbell Creek Greenway; Irwin Creek Greenway; Mallard Creek Greenway and McMullen Creek Greenway. Access difficult sites suited for ages 10 and up are Latta Plantation Nature Preserve and Stewart Creek. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing and bring their own sunscreen. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will provide gloves, trash bags, snacks and water. Details and to register: bit.ly/qdsY4Z. For more information about N.C. Big Sweep: www.ncbigsweep.org.

Seniors Casey Prather and Scottie Wilbekin combined for 47 points to lead third-ranked Florida to a 69-59 road victory at No. 14 Kentucky. The win was just UF's ninth win ever in Lexington -- only the fourth in 18 seasons for Coach Billy Donovan -- and dropped the Wildcats to 81-3 at home under Coach John Calipari.

Shooty: It will be interesting, as always, to see how Pochettino plays that just about inevitable need for balance between EPL top-four and CL v. Europa knock-out rounds come next Spring.
I'm pretty sure all of the US professional leagues have a contingency plan for some sort of team-wide disaster that involves a draft of players from the remaining teams in the league,
they chose to play their reserve team in the second tier, before retaking their place in the KHL the next season (there is no promotion and relegation in Russian hockey).
Watching Shaqiri tonight against Chivas (biggest gap in talent,by far, between clubs in the US-based friendlies I've seen so far)
He reminds me a bit of Dominic Matteo; he can play almost any position on he pitch with equal inefficiency. He looked good in his debut season with Sporting, but that was only due to Sporting extremely poor that season. Hardly got a game last season and I couldn't see him getting many this season, if he had stayed.
That is just a brilliant bit of FFP trolling by Man City. Well played.

Year two of a three-year rebuilding process is underway for the Chariho girls tennis team.
Last season the Chargers easily had one of the youngest teams in Division II with a singles ladder entirely made up of underclassmen and a few more freshmen and sophomores playing in doubles.
As expected, it was a tough season for Chariho as it finished the regular season 2-10 in Division II-Suburban A.
The bright side of last year's struggles of course is now the majority of the team is back from last season and so far is showing signs of improvement.
"The ones that came from last year are looking good," coach Betty Walsh says. "…I'm pleased with it and I'd be happy even if they don't win as long as they challenged people and possibly won some too."
There is no change at the top of the ladder for the Chargers this season as last year's No. 1 and No. 2 singles players – junior Katherine Bodell and sophomore Elizabeth Trombino – are back with a full year of varsity competition under their belts this season.
"They're all energetic and willing and I hope we're going to give teams some good competition," Walsh says. "…They were my two best players last year and they're both looking strong. I hope they have better seasons for themselves because they're playing really well."
Sophomore Jessica Morehouse is also back to play No. 3 singles for Chariho, while at No. 4 singles sophomore Colleen McCauley edged out junior Jessica Santilli for the spot.
Sophomores Ally Huzyk and Jennifer Blay will start the year at No. 1 doubles, while first-year senior Casey Larkin and Santilli will also see time in doubles.
Walsh is well aware that while her team is a year older it is still very young, yet she is still hoping for the best from her squad.
"I only have the one senior on the team but she's a first-year player," Walsh says. "We certainly can't do any worse than last year and the only place we can go is up."
The Chargers got their first test of the season Wednesday when they traveled to East Providence for their season opener (results unavailable at press time) and are back in action today at 4 p.m. for their first home match as they host North Providence.

Active X will not install
I have Windows 7 64 bit using IE8. I am trying to open a Tekla web model but get an error message "Error: WebVeiwer active-x control could not be loaded. You might not have the needed permissions to install the component". I do have this working multiple machines but I have two that I get this error with.
I have checked all internet security setting.
I am a domain admin.

I did read your post where you mentioned security, but it is good to be sure we are on the same page.

Thank you for the reply. I think I have a good lead on whats going on. For some reason when I try to open a Tekla Web Model the computer blocks the installation of "zkitlib.dll" into the the Downloaded Program Files. I did notice by accident though when I installed my Roxio CD Creator the .dll was installed and I was able to run my web model with no problems.
So I believe that the system is not trusting my web model to install the .dll and somehow the Roxio is trusted and installed. Please let me know if I am on the right track.
this is a test box so I am not worried about messing anything up. I tried lowering all of my security settings and making myself the admin on the box (already network admin) but it still will not work.
Forgot to mention that the firewall is shut off and nothing is being block on the net.

How to get the sword
So I'm at this part of the 3rd level with the stone snakes wrapped around pillars but I don't know what they meant by, "connect the power of the winds from the pillar", do they mean connect the wind with or without the sword?
Answer from: Lightninstrike
What you do is use jutsu to i think use fire on a snake then use the pinwheel to find the direction the wind is going then use wind on the snake in that direction then thunder on the next then make sure the wind from the thunder leads to the sword then rub the sword with yoy stylus and the sword comes out and the portal to orichi opens
Answer from: Lightninstrike
I also forgot you need the light shining on the sword

If you don't get a theme, you could try this - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...djlikmph?hl=en
At the minute I am having some issues with my eyes, and to be honest, even with brightness and contrast on my monitors set to 25% on each, the site is way too bright for me to cope properly. Is there a way of having a grey theme with white writing or a black theme with light writing?
I know its a hassle, and I know I am only 1 person, but I thought I would ask.
If you don't get a theme, you could try this - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...djlikmph?hl=en
Ach...its high contrasted everything...I lile it, though it does make some bits unviewable! lol
*edit* I have greyscaled things for now, certainly helps...
Coincidently I have actually been making a night theme for EduGeek which will reduce the use of white for when viewing at night but that sounds like something you would use all the time.
would be grand for me!
Any update on this theme? I think it is something that I would use.
I have f.lux running anyway (have had for a while), and I run the high contrast add on for chrome. It helps definitely.

Katrina Could Impact Chip Production
Air Products & Chemicals has shut down a hydrogen gas complex near New Orleans, limiting the supply of an obscure but important component in semiconductor wafer production.
AP&C shut down the plant on August 31 following Hurricane Katrinas landfall near New Orleans. The plant manufactures hydrogen, used to create epitaxial films on silicon wafers. The company had also scheduled a second plant to be shut down for maintenance near Ontario, Canada.
Analyst firm iSuppli had already warned Thursday that higher oil prices would curb semiconductor growth, the lowest in the current boom/bust cycle of semiconductor production. On Friday, the firm said that the combination of the shutdowns would have an "unknown" impact on chip manufacturing, but that AP&C was considered to be a major supplier of hydrogen to the chip industry.
iSuppli predicted Thursday that global semiconductor sales will rise to $232.7 billion in 2005, up 2.4 percent from $227.2 billion in 2004. The firms previous forecast called for a 5.9 percent worldwide semiconductor increase in 2005. Worldwide chip sales growth will accelerate in 2006, with revenue rising to $242.8 billion, up 4.3 percent from 2005, the firm said.
After a marginal rise in 2006, chip sales are expected to rise by double-digit percentages in 2007, 2008 and 2009, iSuppli said.

Was the Media Anti-McCain?
Submitted by DeepDiveAdmin on Oct 30, 2008
This just in! We constantly hear charges of media bias from both ends of the political spectrum, and as the 2008 election season prepares to reach its climax, some are insisting that the media has been unfair to Senator McCain. Is the anti-McCain bias a real phenomenon or just tabloid nonsense?

Philips Speech Processing Announces SpeechExec Speech Recognition Workflow Extension
Philips Speech Processing, the market leader in professional dictation, today announced the continued success of the SpeechExec Speech Recognition Workflow Extension, which is included in the latest version of the SpeechExec Enterprise software suite. The speech recognition workflow extension allows users to automate document flow by docking the dictation recorder and have dictations automatically downloaded and sent to the speech recognition software for transcription.
The future-proof solution ensures businesses can integrate speech recognition technology in a variety of environments to promote efficiency in the transcription process, so they can realize time and cost savings through reduced turn time of documents. The workflow extension module was developed based on the idea that users need to be able to automatically send recordings to their speech recognition software which transfers the recording to a text document or fills-in a predefined template before it is sent to an assistant for correction.
The speech recognition workflow extension within SpeechExec Enterprise also supports the following activities:
- Automatically uploading dictations to speech recognition programs
- Selectively auto-routing from Digital Pocket Memo to speech recognition
- Ability to adapt to user preferences
"We know that today's business professionals are extremely busy and always on the go, so we developed the Workflow Extension to help them more easily integrate speech recognition into their daily life," said Thomas Brauner, category leader at Philips Speech Processing.Stop by Philips Speech Processing's booth (#730) this week at the Association of Legal Administrator's (ALA) Annual Conference in Hawaii to learn more about the speech recognition Workflow Extension and the entire Philips' product line. Additionally, Philips Speech Processing representatives will be at the following tradeshows and conferences in the coming months:
- America's Claims Event, June 27-29, Las Vegas
- ILTA, August 26-30, Washington, D.C.

Along with his broken toaster, Steve Vegdahl brought a slice of bread with him to Portland's repair cafe one day last month. By the time he left, his toaster was working again—and the sweet smell of toasted wheat permeated the room.
"This is the highlight of my day," Vegdahl said as he waited for the chrome Sunbeam, probably a 1950s model, to cool off so he could take it home. "I'm a software person; I don't have a lot of mechanical aptitude. I'm not good at taking things apart."
Since a woman named Martine Postma established the first repair café in Amsterdam in 2009, the concept of free events at which volunteers with repair skills assist participants with broken furniture, appliances, bicycles, clothing and toys, has spread far and wide.
More than 50 cafes operate throughout the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and, in the U.S., people have begun convening regularly at coffee shops and event spaces in New York, Chicago, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Seattle and—as of earlier this year—my hometown of Portland, Oregon, to fix busted items.
Repair PDX founder Lauren Gross, 33, says the Portland events attract people philosophically opposed to waste as well as those who simply want a favorite item to work again. Around 50 people attended the first gathering, held last May in a large, airy coffee shop, she said, and about 35 have shown up to the monthly gatherings since.
"We're going back to some of the old values our grandparents held and moving away from mainstream consumption," said Cindy Correll, one of the café's other organizers. "By reusing, we're keeping things out of the waste stream and eliminating the need to make another product." Plus, she said, reusing requires fewer resources than its more publicized counterpart recycling.
Correll attributes the success of fix-it ventures like Repair PDX in part to the recent economic downturn. When money was tight, she said, "people started looking at things differently."
When I carried my broken floor lamp into Portland's December gathering, held in a historic firehouse on the north side of town, numerous repairs were already underway.
At one table, Stan Jones shaved rotten foam from around a stereo speaker with a thin blade, preparing the surface for a new foam cover. At another, Brett Stern tackled an electric stand mixer, eventually offering to take the contraption home for further inspection. Laurie Sugahbeare fixed a necklace a woman had snagged on her sweater earlier that day.
And Bryce Jacobson wrapped plumber tape around the center rod of a broken coffee grinder to compensate for the stripped threads. "We're just buying a little time from the landfill," he said, acknowledging the jankiness of the solution.
Jacobson, who works as a regional solid waste planner by day, said he's always liked to tinker. Even as a kid, he would take home appliances he found in dumpsters, and he'd disassemble and rebuild them. As a Repair PDX volunteer, Jacobson wants to instill a repair ethic in participants—and teach them the practical skills to back up the ideal.
"One of the most powerful things to realize is that you can actually fix your stuff when it's not working," he said. "I like seeing people make that connection."
Despite recent efforts by people like Repair PDX volunteers, repair culture stands counter to the dominant, disposable mentality. While products like disposable diapers, sanitary pads and paper plates are unabashedly designed for the dump, many other objects—radios, televisions, microwaves, etc.—are made to be tossed as well (though they're slightly less blatant about it).
Last month when my washing machine began skipping the spin cycle, for example, my landlord's first response was to have a brand new machine delivered to the house. Replacing the washer, he reasoned, would be cheaper and easier than diagnosing the problem, finding new parts and paying a handyman to install them.

It's no big New Year for Bollywood. The first quarter of 2013 will see very few big banner releases as producers prefer to keep them for holidays and festivals, and industry experts say this may in turn help small but strong films hit the jackpot.There are around 22 films expected to release in January-March next year, but the only big-ticket ones are Abbas-Mustan's Race 2 (January 25) starring Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone, Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola (January 11) featuring Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma and Sajid Khan's Himmatwala remake (March 29), starring Ajay Devgn. The not-so-big ones include ABCD - Any Body Can Dance, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Table No. 21, Inkaar, Mumbai Mirror and Nautanki Saala."Only about Rs. 200 crore is riding on the first quarter," says trade analyst Atul Mohan. This, compared to more than its double riding in the last quarter of 2012. "Big stars today depend on festivals and extended weekends to release their films as they want to mint maximum money. That is why most big-ticket releases are concentrated around Diwali and Eid, and other times such as the first quarter go dry. Race 2 is also releasing because it's a national holiday on January 26," says film expert Vikas Mohan. While Salman Khan is known to release his films on Eid, Shah Rukh prefers Diwali. Even Aamir goes for Christmas. Film expert Rajeev Masand says, "I think we should be ready for some surprises. Last year in this period we saw how Paan Singh Tomar and Kahaani, which were small budget films, did fabulous business."

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency have called upon industry to develop a low-cost and secure communications, network management and situational awareness system for the U.S. military, public safety agencies and commercial clients.
Harris Corporation recently received a $14 million contract from the State of Vermont to deploy a statewide radio system for public safety first responders and state agencies. The system meets Vermont's specific requirements for regional and cross-border communications - connecting local, state and federal agencies within the state, and providing interoperability with agencies in neighboring states and Canada. The Project 25 standards-based system will be built on Harris Voice, Interoperability, Data, Access network technology, an Internet Protocol-based interoperable radio communications technology that fully complies with emerging standards.

This amp is crap. It is way over rated and pushes maybe 1/4 of what it really say. It has a protection mode, but guess what it don't go into it, all it does is blow up and catch on fire. This amp about burned my truck. Do not get unless you want to roast marshmallows in your trunk.

OWLers, Is it possible in OWL 1.1 to equate a property to another as it is restricted on a subclass of the domain? For example: Animals eat Animals Dolphins eat Fish (restriction of eat property on Dolphin) Dolphins dolphin-eat Fish (dolphin-eat a subproperty of eat, with domain Dolphin, which has the same interpretation as eat when the domain is restricted to dolphins). I think this is needed when introducing a role chains in the subclass. For example, a role chain that includes eat, but only applies to dolphins, would need to use dolphin-eat. Maybe there's another way to do that, can't think of any. ConradReceived on Friday, 7 March 2008 15:00:17 GMT

Introduction to State Space
In a state space representation we end up with a first order matrix differential equation:
Good things:
Potentially problematic things
By defining a system in state space form we can change an nth order differential equation (or transfer function) into n first order differential equations of the form:
where x is an n element column vector, y is the output and u is the input. The formulation above is for a single-input single-output (SISO) system. The input u can be a vector, as can the output y (either one makes the element "d" a matrix).
We discussed various manipulations that we can do with State Space representations of systems.
Note, your book does everything in terms of P, Matlab uses T, where T=P-1.

HomeVestors Attains Victory Over Trademark Infringers
DALLAS, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeVestors of America, Inc. ("HomeVestors"), known for its registered trademark We Buy Ugly Houses ®, has been diligent in protecting its trademarks. Since its incorporation in 1996, HomeVestors has aggressively defended its federally registered trademarks and its right to stop third parties from using its trademarks as part of their domain names and on their websites without being authorized to do so, and also from using its trademarks in keyword advertising. Recently, HomeVestors has won a Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy ("UDRP") proceeding against Stewart Taylor, winning the right to use the domain name <buy-ugly-houses.biz>. The UDRP Complaint was filed before the National Arbitration Forum, which issued a decision on October 12, 2012, ordering the transfer of the domain name to HomeVestors.
Since its last UDRP win, HomeVestors has filed another UDRP proceeding, and it expects a decision in that matter in the next few weeks. HomeVestors is committed to gaining control over the domain names that use its registered trademarks as part of those domains. HomeVestors has also seen a recent spike in parties using the federally registered HOMEVESTORS ® mark, or confusingly similar variations thereof, and is diligently pursuing those matters as well.
HomeVestors is the #1 buyer of houses in the U.S. The first franchise company of its kind, HomeVestors has been franchising since 1996. HomeVestors currently has about 276 franchises in 37 states. Franchisees are authorized to use the WE BUY UGLY HOUSES® trademarks in connection with their franchised business and have spent more than $100,000,000.00 in advertising the brand, contributing to its national recognition and fame.

Marvel Comics is saddened by the passing of comics legend Dick Giordano. An accomplished artist, mentor and champion of creators' rights, he leaves his distinctive and personable mark on the entire industry.
Though widely known for his long tenure with DC Comics, Giordano also touched the Marvel Universe on more than one occasion. As comics giant and Giordano collaborator Roy Thomas says: "Dick Giordano and Marvel Comics aren't two things most longtime comics readers think of in the same breath. But the connections have been there, for a long time."
Born 1932 in New York, Richard
In the 1970's, Giordano made his way to Marvel, most notably on a bold adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" with writer Roy Thomas.
"I don't recall considering anyone else to draw it before I spoke with Dick about it," Thomas says of the project. "Why? I'm not sure. Perhaps I was aware that it was a novel which had great resonance with him, as it always had with me. Maybe we'd discussed Vlad Dracul in passing-or even at
Begun in 1973, in the pages of DRACULA LIVES!, the story would not be finished until 2004. At that time, Marvel contacted the two creators and asked them to complete their ode to the famous vampire tale.
"Dick was ecstatic to be working on the adaptation again, I know...and so was I," notes Thomas. "When it was gathered into a nearly 200-page hardcover graphic novel, it was the realization of a dream for us...for the individual chapters had been structured, from the very beginning, so that one day-Lord knew when or how-they could all be gathered seamlessly into the longest and most faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's horror classic that had ever been done."
Giordano also lent his considerable artistic talents to such diverse Marvel titles as MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE, MARVEL FEATURE, HOWARD THE DUCK and SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN. The mighty Marvel martial artists Iron Fist and the Sons of the Tiger owe a debt to Giordano, too as he helped deliver them into the pages of MARVEL PREMIERE and DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU, respectively.
The multitude of creators who credit the artist and editor with impacting their lives and careers most often note Giordano's easy-going manner and his professional work-ethic. He included any and all in his circle of friendly advice and common love for comics books.
"He was eight years my senior, but somehow we felt comfortable in each other's presence," says Roy Thomas. "Sadly, only a couple of hours before editor Mark Beazley e-mailed me the news about Marvel decision [to publish 'Dracula' in color], I received another from Dick's assistant and longtime friend Pat Bastienne. Dick, who I knew had gone into the hospital battling a resurgence of his leukemia only a couple of weeks before, had passed away that very morning. He would never know about the coming colorization of our 'Dracula.'
"But he would have approved. And he'd have smiled. Perhaps he is smiling, even now."
