Description This is a division of application Ser. No. 414,734, filed Sept. 3, 1982, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,545,106, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 259,257 entitled "Apparatus for Detecting the Position of a Probe Relative to a Workpiece" filed Apr. 30, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,945, and having the same assignee as the present invention. 1. Technical Field This invention relates to machine tool systems and, more particularly, to techniques for wirelessly transmitting information utilized by machine tool systems. 2. Background Art In automated machining systems, such as those using numerically controlled (NC) machine tools, it is necessary to provide the electronic controller with a wide variety of information relating to the status of components therein as well as the workpiece relative to the components. Traditionally, this information is provided by way of electrical signals transmitted over wires to the machine controller. In relatively simple machines the routing of the wires may be accomplished fairly easily so that the wires do not become entangled with moving components during the machining operation. However, this task becomes increasingly burdensome in more sophisticated systems employing a large number of moving components whose status must be monitored. This is especially true for systems employing several different pieces of remotely spaced machinery cooperating to perform various steps in the operational sequence. If a robot or other automated mechanism is used to transfer workpieces from a conveyor onto a workpiece holder on an indexing table of a machining center, information must be relayed to the robot controller in order for the entire system to operate in proper sequence. For example, it is necessary to tell the robot that the tool holder is in a condition to receive a new part to be machined or to inform the robot that the machined part is ready for removal. Conventional approaches require the use of a flexible cable connected between the workpiece holder and the robot controller. The cable must be of sufficient length to follow the path of movement of the holder as it is moved by the indexing table relative to the tool in the machining center. The relatively long lengths of these cables present problems in that it is difficult to conveniently route the cable to the robot such that it does not interfere with the system operation or the user. In addition, the cable is subject to wear or breakage and special cable connectors sometimes must be used to accommodate the movement of the cable. Pursuant to the present invention, a transmitter includes a battery for selectively supplying power to electrical components adapted to transmit a plurality of different infrared signals to a remote receiver. Each signal can differ from each other, for example, by a shift in the frequency at which infrared transmitting diodes are modulated. Each different infrared signal may be associated with a given event related to information about a workpiece. The remote receiver includes means therein for detecting the presence of any of the infrared signals transmitted from the transmitter. In the preferred embodiment, the receiver includes a phase locked loop circuit that provides an output when any of the infrared signals are transmitted. A timer is provided that is energized by the presence of any of the received infrared signals. The timer is operative to display to the user an indication of battery usage in the transmitter. The timer thus may be utilized to display elapsed time associated with battery usage in the transmitter. Various other advantages to the present invention will become apparent to one skilled in the art upon reading the following specification and by reference of the drawings by which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a machine system employing the teachings of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the circuitry used in the transmitter of the preferred embodiment; FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the circuitry used in the receiver of the preferred embodiment; and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the circuitry used to decode the characteristics of alterable radiation received from the transmitter. FIG. 1 illustrates a machine system 10 incorporating the teachings of the present invention. System 10 includes a machining center 12 capable of performing a variety of machining operations on a workpiece such as milling, drilling, etc. An example of machining center 12 is a Monarch vertical machining center. However, a variety of other machine tools can be employed. Machining center 12 includes a hydraulically operated vise 14 which is rigidly mounted on an indexing table 16. Vise 14 includes a fixed jaw 18 and a movable jaw 20 connected to a cylinder 22 controlled by a suitable hydraulic vise controller 24. Vise 14 is a commercially available PowRjaw Hydraulic vise in this embodiment but a variety of other workpiece holders may be employed. When the jaws of vise 14 are open it is capable of receiving a workpiece 26. In this embodiment, machine system 10 utilizes an automaton or robot 30 to automatically place workpiece 26 into the open jaws of vise 14. Workpieces 26 may be successively delivered to a station adjacent robot 28 by way of a pallet 30 riding on a movable conveyor 32. When the workpiece 26 is in place, the jaws of vise 14 are closed to rigidly hold the workpiece. Then, index table 16 is moved rightwardly to a position wherein tool 34 may operate on the workpiece 26. After the machining operation is finished, the table 16 may be indexed back to its home position where the jaws of the vise 16 are opened and the robot 28 may remove workpiece 26. In order to perform the operational sequences just described, information relating to the status of the vise 14 (i.e., clamped or unclamped) and workpiece 26 (i.e., in position in the vise or not) must be relayed to robot 28 and machining center 12 in order to provide proper sequential operation. Pursuant to the present invention, this information is wirelessly transmitted by transmitter 36 as infrared radiation to receiver 38. Transmitter 36 is connected to and moves with vise 14 whereas receiver 38 is positioned at a convenient fixed location remotely spaced from the moving index table 16. In the preferred embodiment, transmitter 36 includes two light emitting diodes 37 and 39 on adjacent faces of the transmitter box housing. Diodes 37, 39 are adapted to transmit light in the infrared frequency range. The use of a plurality of diodes serves to provide a wide angle of transmitted radiation of sufficient strength that it may be picked up by the photo-receptor in the housing of the fixed receiver 38 as the transmitter 36 is moved to various positions. The output of receiver 38 is connected to a robot controller 40 which utilizes the received information to control the movement of robot 28. In addition, robot controller 40 is coupled to a computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) controller 42 and vise controller 24 to control operation of the machining center 12 and vise 14, respectively. The position of the vise jaws is detected by a transducer 44 in the form of a microswitch having a probe 46 connected to movable jaw 20 and adapted to contact a plate 48 on the fixed jaw 18 when the jaws are clamped about the workpiece. The output of switch 44 is connected to an input of transmitter 36 by way of conventional wires. However, since the microswitch 44 and transmitter 36 move together in unison, the wire connection can be made in an unobstrusive manner. The position of the workpiece 26 is detected by transducer 50 which is also connected to the vise supporting structure. A lever arm 52 pivoted about point 54 comes into contact with lower portions of the workpiece 26 when it is placed within the open jaws of vise 14. The opposite end of lever arm 52 is connected to a feeler probe 56 of a microswitch making up transducer 50. Thus, when lever arm 52 is pressed downwardly by the workpiece, the feeler probe 56 detects the upward motion of the opposite end of the lever resulting in the generation of an electrical signal which is coupled to another input of transmitter 36. It should be understood that a wide variety of different transducer constructions can alternately be employed. FIG. 2 illustrates the circuitry used in the transmitter 36 of the preferred embodiment. An oscillator network 60 includes an interchangeable crystal 62 which is adapted to oscillate at a given frequency, which in this example is 3.484 MHz. The output of oscillator network 60 is coupled to the input of a divider network 66 through inverter 68. Divider 66 is a conventional component such as a number 74HC161 which, in this embodiment, has been wired to divide the frequency from oscillator network 60 by a factor of 12 or 13, depending upon the code presented on lines 70 and 72. The code on line 70,72 is determined by the state of microswitch 44 indicating the position of the jaws of the vise 14. For example, when the vise is closed and switch 44 is opened, divider 66 serves to divide the oscillator frequency by 13 to provide an output for driving the base of transistor Q1 at a frequency of about 267 KHz. When the vise is opened switch 44 will close presenting a different code on lines 70 and 72 causing divider 66 to divide the oscillator frequency by 12 and generate a 290 KHz drive signal to transistor Q1. The light transmitting diodes 37 and 39 may take the form of Telefunken CQY99 light emitting diodes (LED's). The frequency applied to the base of transistor Q1 determines the frequency of the current conduction through diodes 37 and 39 and, thus, the frequency of the infrared signals emitted thereby. Infrared light transmission is advantageously employed because it is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference than radio frequency signals which must be used in a relatively short distance between the transmitter and receiver. Workpiece detection microswitch 50 is coupled between a battery 78 and the other circuit components in the transmitter. When the workpiece is not present within vise 14, switch 50 is opened so that no light is transmitted by diodes 37, 39. When the workpiece is in place, switch 50 is closed and light is transmitted to the receiver. The frequency of the transmitted infrared signal depends upon the condition of the vise switch 44. The present invention employs a frequency shift keying technique in which the FM infrared signals from diodes 37, 39 are shifted from a center frequency which is about 279 kilohertz, in this example. As noted before, if the vise is open and the workpiece is present the infrared transmitted signal will be shifted to a frequency of about 290 kilohertz whereas if the vise is closed and the workpiece is present the infrared signal will be shifted to a frequency of about 267 kilohertz. A particularly advantageous feature of this invention is that information about the workpiece and vise position is transmitted in a relatively simple manner using the presence or absense of signal to convey valid data as well as the modulation of the center carrier frequency. However, other techniques for altering the characteristics of the infrared signal may be employed such as pulse coded modulation. FIG. 3 shows the circuitry utilized in the preferred embodiment of the receiver head 38. The infrared light signals received from diodes 37 and 39 in the transmitter are optically filtered by infrared filter plate 80. The optically filtered signals are then directed to impinge upon a photo-diode D1 which, for example, may comprise a commercially available DPW-34 PIN diode. A tank circuit comprised of a parallel com-bination of a variable inductor L1 and capacitor C9 is tuned to the center frequency of the received FM optical signal to provide low frequency noise immunity at the receiver head. An optional resistor 82 may also be included for tuning purposes. It should be appreciated that the tunable tank circuit allows the manufacturer to build a common receiver head which may be individually tuned to the preselected center frequencies of a variety of different transmitters. It will be remembered that this may be accomplished merely by replacing the crystal 62 of the transmitter 36 circuitry of FIG. 2 to provide different channel frequencies. Photo-diode D1 converts the incident optical infrared light signal to an electrical signal which is coupled to a tuned input amplifier comprising field effect transistor Q2 and NPN transistor Q3. The amplified FM electrical signal is coupled from the tuned amplifier output to an emitter follower line driver circuit including transistor Q4. The amplified output at the collector electrode of transistor Q3 is coupled to base of line driver transistor Q4. The emitter output of transistor Q4 is coupled to the output line in a cable 41 connected to the robot controller 40 through potentiometer R7, resistor R8 and coupling capacitor C11. FIG. 4 illustrates a portion of the robot control circuitry 40 for decoding the transmitted information that has been converted to an electrical FM signal by receiver head 38. Cable 41 is connected to terminals on a connector block 84 such that the received signal is coupled to the input of phase locked loop (PLL) circuit 86 through conditioning amplifiers 88 and 90 which serve to amplify and limit the amplitude of the input signal. Phase locked loop circuit 86 in this embodiment is an XR2211 device made by EXAR, Incorporated. Capacitor C21 and the resistive-capacitive network including resistors R16-R18 and capacitor C23 are utilized to define the capture range about the center frequency associated with the received FM signals. When any frequencies within this defined range are received by PLL 86, it provides an output signal on its Q output line. It will be remembered that this condition is satisfied whenever the workpiece is in position within vise 14 causing transmission of one of the frequency shifted infrared signals to the receiver. The Q output of PLL 86 is connected to a relay K1 which is energized whenever the workpiece is in position. The output of relay K1 is connected to terminals 94 and 96 which may be connected to other components in the robot controller 40 that would use this information as an input indicating the status of the workpiece relative to the vise. PLL 86 is also adapted to detect whether the frequency of the received signal is above or below the center frequency. This will provide an indication as to the status ofthe vise jaws. It will be remembered that a vise closed condition will generate a frequency of about 267 KHz (below the center frequency) and a frequency of about 290 KHz when the vise is open. The PLL output labeled "FSK OUT" will provide a signal thereon when the vise is closed. This signal is used to energize relay K2. The output of relay K2 is coupled via terminals 100, 102 to other components in the robot control 40 and provides information relating to the position of the vise. An optional feature of this invention is the provision of a timer 104 which is activated whenever the relay K1 is energized. The timer 104 thus may be utilized to display elapsed time associated with the battery usage of the transmitter. A counter (not shown) may likewise be connected to relay K2 to provide a count of the number of parts or workpieces that have been completed. If desired, the timer 104 and counter along with part present, clamped and unclamped indicators may be provided in a separate control box paralleling that coupled to robot controller 40. Returning attention to FIG. 1, the operation of the machining system will be described. Robot 28 begins by grasping workpiece 26 on conveyor 32. The robot arm is lifted to remove workpiece 26 from pallet 30 and places the workpiece in position within the open jaws of vise 14. The workpiece contacts lever arm 52 causing transmitter 36 to radiate an infrared signal to receiver 38. The circuitry in receiver 38 converts the infrared signal to an electrical signal of corresponding frequency and sends this signal via cable 41 to robot controller 40. The PLL 86 (FIG. 4) responds by energizing relay K1 which is used by vise control 24 to clamp the vise jaws about the workpiece. When microswitch 44 is energized, the frequency of the radiated infrared signal is shifted as described above and the PLL 86 responds by energizing relay K2. The energization of K2 indicates to robot control 40 that the part has been clamped. Robot 28 then releases the workpiece. With the workpiece in position and the vise clamped, the robot controller 40 may generate a signal to CNC controller 42 causing the index table 16 to move rightwardly and bring the workpiece into position underneath tool 34. After the workpiece has been machined the index table 16 returns leftwardly to its home position and the jaws of the vise are opened. The disengagement of microswitch 44 causes the radiated infrared signal frequency to shift above the center frequency. This is detected by PLL 86 causing relay K2 to de-energize providing an indication to robot controller 40 that the part is unclamped. Robot 28 then may grasp the workpiece, remove it from the vise and carry it to another station for performing other operations on the workpiece if needed. This cycle then is repetitively continued for successive workpieces. Various modifications to the particular example just described should become evident to those skilled in the art. Therefore, while this invention has been described in connection with one particular example, no limitation is intended thereby except as defined in the following claims. Patent Citations

During the playoff season fans' enthusiasm often manifests itself in the form of purchases of a favorite team's merchandise. The lead up to the Super Bowl gets emotions high – and prices can seem high as well. So many go searching for bargains. Unfortunately, some of those "bargains" that can be so alluring are cheaper for a reason: they are fakes. That means the workmanship and the materials used in their manufacture will be of inferior quality, making that "great deal" quickly turn into a rip-off.

parrot fish
parrot fish
Any of about 80 species (family Scaridae) of slender, blunt-headed, deep-bodied fishes found on tropical reefs. They are often brightly coloured and have large scales. The fused teeth form a beak used to scrape algae and the soft part of coral from reefs. Platelike teeth in the throat grind the ingested food and bits of coral. Some species grow to 4 ft (1.2 m) long and weigh 45 lb (20 kg). The Indo-Pacific surf, or rivulated, parrot fish (Callyodon fasciatus) grows to 18 in. (46 cm) or more. The queen parrot fish (Scarus vetula) is an Atlantic species.

EW copy chief Dan Morrissey is a master storyteller on Disgraceland, an album inspired by his own experience getting sober. While writing it, he envisioned the lyrics as a V-shaped narrative–it starts on a high, hits rock bottom, then works its way back up–and he describes that journey in vivid detail, right down to the price of his beer, with a self-deprecating wit.
The first song, "Put Your Clothes Back On," comes on strong with a Friday-night-at-the-honky-tonk vibe, as Morrissey sings about watching his girlfriend dance at a strip club: "You've been doing this a little too long/Last night I caught you crying to a Kid Rock song." But by the next track, the country-ska lament "Wine, Women & Wrong," it's clear that he's the one who needs to change. Waking up hungover again, with his wallet, jacket, and phone missing, he sighs, "Feel like I'm living in the middle of a Gary Stewart song/All about wine, women, and wrong." READ FULL STORY

I've been going BONKERS looking for a book I have read some time

king told champion he has to choose between the grandmother, the mother or
the daughter to marry if he wants to keep the previous baron's land.The champion gave the family 1 day to mourn and to make the decision. He ends up
marrying the daughter. He falls in love with her but he has a secret. He's
the one that killed her father. The baron had challenged King Henry's place
on the throne so the king's champion faught the baron.PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!
I've been looking for this book for a couple of years and I can't find it!
That must have been one hell of a big reveal. And grovel. "Sorry I killed your dad and gave you a day to grieve, but your dad was a douche and so was I but I luuuuuurve™ you!" Heh.

Warm and fuzzy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
This jacket has a sweet graphic that looks like the thrasher skateboarder magazines logo! Airblaster makes high quality items and it shows! This sweatshirt is very soft and comfortable to wear. I love that it zips off and on which makes it easy to put on if you are wearing a hat. Also great if you like to rock the open jacket look. The only thing is that it runs small compared to other brands.

Rate Dr. A. John Vartanian
Dr. A. John Vartanian's Ratings
SoI feel HORRIBLE abd most of all I look UGLY when all I ever wanted is to breath better and for my nose to be a little smaller. I wish I'd NEVER went to see Vartanian for my rhinoplasty. I have made a HUGE mistake and now john vartanian forced me to live with UGLY RESULTS. I can't stop crying...

let me start with the staff. they are freaking awesome!!! they tend to your needs and make you feel so comfortable and at ease. theyre also very friendly and professional! as is dr vartanian. i had a rhinoplasty done by him about 3 years ago and the results are phenomenal. the whole process was super smooth and my healing time was virtually non existent. he was very compassionate and really listened to me and took my expectations into consideration, and together we decided what should be done during the surgery. aside from some swelling, i looked great..only a few days later! dr vartanian is talented and passionate about what he does. id definitely get more surgeries done by him. im lucky to have found such an amazing plastic surgeon. go see him! you wont regret it.

I had my nose done 6 months ago and I am extremely happy with the results. The doctor had great knowledge of the procedure he was going to perform and pleasant bed side manners which helped the process. I would highly recommend him.

I'm so pleased I picked Dr. Vartanian to do my nose, I picked him based on his reputation in the community. I'm an anesthesiologist and have seen the work of many surgeons but Dr. Vartanian is so meticulous, professional with an outstanding touch of art in his work. I used to have the most terrible time breathing before the surgery and just 2 weeks after I can breath normal and I sleep better as well. His staff is extremely professional as well. The Pre operative and post operative visits were arranged efficiently by his office with minimal waiting time before I was seen. I would choose him over again with absolutely no hesitation.

I had prior surgery with other doctor's and needed a revision and cosmetic specialist for all the prior screw ups by others. This doctor was awesome! Can breath amazingly better than ever before and the nose looks fantastic (kept it looking very natural so people don't stare me down because it's obvious I had surgery). Great staff and convenient hours and terms. Definitely someone to consider as your top choice or someone to go to if you're looking for another opinion.

I had surgery, due to difficulty berating, very deviated septum & terrible migraines. Dr.Vartanian was the first Dr.I visited,I also went to several other prominent surgeons but I came back to Dr.V. Since I was more sure & felt better trusting him with my surgery because after all it is a big deal.If you are looking for a surgeon that "does what he says"is realistic & DELIVERS,he is the one to go to. He is polite,calm understanding & knows his craft well.Not Pushy!I was not refereed to him by anyone, those that I was refereed to I did not like.It has been a year since I had my surgery, although I am still recovering(some stiffness)the results are amazing, exactly what I expected& was told to expect. I breath very well & NO MIGRAINES!!&looks great,not too different but Better! I got what was discussed & shown.Staff is very nice,polite & overall great environment. He is well educated,polite,clean cut,well trained,precise & a great guy.I have no regrets!I trust him & his work,he delivers.

I went to Dr. Vartanian on the recommendation of a friend and I couldn't be happier! I wanted to get my eyes done but was a little nervous. Not only does he have amazing bed side manner making me feel at ease through the whole process but my eyes look absolutely amazing. I look and feel 10 years younger! He's the best. I've seen the work he's done on people's noses and it's spectacular...that's what I'm going to him for next!!

Im in my mid thirties and Ive had a midface lift surgery and follow up botox procedures on my eyes. Dr. Vartanian is the best plastic surgeon and a genius. He has an amazing, brilliant, and artistic approach when performing a surgical or non-invasive procedure. He is simply the best in the business. Im so lucky I found him. Not only is he a renowned surgeon, he is also very friendly and personable. His amazing, approachable and friendly staff is a reflection of his practice. Thanks Dr. Vartanian .BARRY

What can I say that hasn't been said before? The man is a miracle worker. At the age of 41, I finally decided to get rhinoplasty, something I'd wanted since I was a teenager. In Los Angeles, plastic surgeons are a dime a dozen. Therefore it can be a big challenge to find the surgeon that is right for you. The first thing I decided was that I wanted a surgeon that specializes ONLY in faces. Even then, the search was daunting. I narrowed it down to three doctors and met with all of them. Dr. Vartanian and his amazing staff impressed me immediately, and based on his computer simulation of what he envisioned for my new nose, there was no doubt in my mind that he was the man for the job. It's been about 2 months now and I couldn't be happier with my results. Everyone tells me that it changes my face completely, but in an entirely natural way. All I know is that it's exactly what I wanted, and my only regret is that I hadn't done it sooner.

Nice Dreams
Sunday, July 30th, 2006While the cover art may be enough to make junior cower in fear from his teddy bear, these Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead songs might actually be really nice to listen to.
There are MP3 clips on the site, and while they all seem a little alien and disconcerting to me, a kid might just follow along with a nice melody as a baby, and only later think about slitting his wrists. Ha ha, I kid about youth suicide, but actually I would be interested to hear this whole album…might be just creepy enough to lull me to sleep.

Aftershow thoughts
Posted on Aug 19, 2011What a fine duo show we had yesterday. After a great and fun band gig on sunday, have to admit, it was little bit less inspiring to go to do a show as duo. I wasn't really worried about anything. But this made me very relaxed and in general performed better (on individual level) than on sunday with the band. With out the band there's a lot of things missing from my playing. All the interaction and imprivised goodies. But technically etc. I made less stupid mistakes etc.
In addition to the duo show we had two song jam with the guys from Lakewood Experiment. Peter Niemi, Rofl Pilve and Pauli Petas had done a great job mastering Both "Wax on – Wax off" and "Mountain Mover". We had time to play waxing tune during the soundcheck but no way to Mountain Mover. So we listened it through in my car once and talked about all the spots and how to avoid problems. All went very smooth. Thanks guys!
This reminded me of the book "Effortless Mastery" by Kenny Werner. It's not a guitar book, yet it's possibly the best guitar book I've read. It's all about that mental side and stuff. One of the teaching was something like: when you don't care who's in the audience or panic how important the gig is, you can relax and perform so much better. Better read the book again, I've forgotten most of it. You should check out the book as well!
Yesterday most of the time I actually felt like a effortless master on stage, and when I left the stage the audience had bought it. All starts inside of you. Believing yourself, finding the right state of mind and attitude.
My ritual before a gig has become a stare on a mirror before the show. Even just a moment helps. When I stare to my very own eyes through a mirror for a moment it helps me to connect with myself. And remember what's it all about. To me doing gig's is all about playing (like with toys), feelings, fun, emotions, rocking, going crazy, entertaining the audience, making new friends, making a fool out of yourself…
Preparing for a gig is another thing. On sunday that he had actually mastered one tight bass line and go it down. But then he realized he could only do it while sitting. This is a commong problem especially with more technical music. Guitar playing is usually much harder when standing. Or atleast different. And on stage (if you play rock or such) you should have some moves and all the stage action. So, it should be clear that when preparing and practicing for a gig. You should practice not only the parts but also the stage performance.
Practicing the performance and material helps a lot, but once you're on stage you just have to do the thing… Let go! Let flow! Go crazy!
Will get back to the grrreat band show we had on sunday. Some footage will appear for sure!!!

The funny thing about the bill that the Senate just passed that lets presidents and the military lock you up without a charge or a trial — well, not funny ha ha but funny unusual — is that the basic bill to which that little monstrosity was attached is even worse. It's a bill to dump over $650 billion into wars and aggressive weaponry, continue the slaughter in Afghanistan, ramp up the creation and use of drones, and expand U.S. military bases around the globe.

FDL Book Salon Welcomes Juan E. Mendez and Marjory Wentworth, Taking a Stand: The Evolution of Human Rights |

What could possibly make a human being torture another human being?
That's a question that, as a young boy, I recall asking my grandparents—Holocaust survivors—after they described to me in vivid detail the torture they and other members of my extended family were subjected to by the Nazis during World War II.
It's a question I returned to earlier this year when I had the opportunity to interview a veteran of the US Army Reserves who was torn up about the torture he says he witnessed and participated in against some "war on terror" detainees while serving as a guard at the Guantanamo Bay prison facility. [That guard, Pfc. Albert Melise, has since been barred from reenlistment for speaking to me.]

By Kate Kelland and Ben Hirschler LONDON (Reuters) - As West Africa's devastating Ebola outbreak begins to dwindle, scientists are looking beyond the endgame at the kind of next-generation vaccines needed for a vital stockpile to hit another epidemic hard and fast. "We need a stockpile because there will be other outbreaks," said Seth Berkley, chief executive of the GAVI global immunisation alliance, which helps bulk-buy vaccines for poor countries. The experimental vaccines now moving into large clinical trials in West Africa target the current Ebola Zaire virus strain, but the next outbreak may be different. "We need to work with the pharmaceutical industry to create second-generation vaccines that would cover not just Ebola Zaire but also Ebola Sudan and perhaps Marburg, perhaps Lassa.
TOKYO (AP) — Appalled and saddened by news of journalist Kenji Goto's purported beheading by Islamic State extremists, Japan ordered heightened security precautions Sunday and said it would persist with its non-military support for fighting terrorism.

'Grumpy' flies in Park County skies this week
It was a flight down memory lane or a learning experience for those that boarded "Grumpy," the B-25 at Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody on Monday.
Grumpy is like the planes Jimmy Doolittle's Raiders flew to bomb Japan 70 years ago during World War II.
Ron Vining didn't think he would use the walking sticks he got for Father's Day to protect his children and himself, but that's what he did when he faced a mountin lion later that day.
Vining, of Powell, was hiking up Dead Indian Creek in Sunlight Basin Sunday with his wife, Leann, daughter and son-in-law, Alisa and Ryan Dempsey, and grandchildren Payton, Kensi, and Kanin, when a mountain lion crashed the party.
Park rangers continue to interview witnesses and hiking companions of an 18-year-old Russian woman who plunged 400 feet to her death Thursday near Inspiration Point in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park. They are calling the fatal incident an accident, though it remains under investigation.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is asking the federal government to expedite the process for delisting the grizzly bear.
Although Saturday is free fishing day, it behooves potential anglers to bone-up on Wyoming fishing regulations before wetting a fly or drowning a worm.
In conjunction with National Recreational Fishing and Boating Week, free fishing days are designed to educate folks about fish habits and the means to catch fish, said the Wyoming Game and Fish Department 2012-13 fishing regulations.
Gloom and doom is not in the immediate forecast for local irrigators, even though the mountain snow pack is nearly depleted.
As of Monday, the snow water equivalent in the Shoshone River basin was at 60 percent of the 30-year average, compared to 145 percent on the same date last year. The Big Horn River basin is worse — 57 percent, compared to 224 percent May 21, 2011. The good news is the Big Horn Basin is faring better than most of Wyoming, with the exceptions of the Madison and Yellowstone river basins at 78 and 73 percent respectively. The Upper Bear River basin was melted out, and the statewide SWE average stood at 22 percent.
The Cody Elk Group has completed its work. The group's recommendations will be presented to the Cody Game and Fish office in the near future, then to the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission.
Although there are nearly 2,000 more elk in the Cody Elk herd than the population objective set by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, calf birth and survival rates are low in some areas.
Lousy luck is as good a reason as any to explain a barn fire that killed some stock and two dogs Thursday night in Clark.
A pony, a ewe, two lambs and two dogs succumbed to the blaze off Road 1AB on Line Creek, near the Shoshone National Forest boundary.
Snow is melting quickly in the Absaroka Mountains, but so far reservoirs in the Big Horn Basin are filling or are expected to do so.
Water storage in the local big three reservoirs — Buffalo Bill, Boysen and Big Horn/Yellowtail — is looking pretty good.

LOL funny
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters the BC fish and wildlife branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any person that uses the out-of-doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precaution while in the Field. We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise. We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry "Pepper Spray" with him in case of an encounter with a bear. Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear s*** has bells in it and smells like pepper.

Well bad shade selection lightest is ivory which is too dark for me but love consistency and coverage
I normally wear high end foundations like dior nude skin, Estée Lauder double wear, mac studio sculpt and Lancôme teint miracle. This is the first drugstore foundation that I love!!! I have combination nc25 skin and I wear 200 soft beige. This doesn't makes me greasy or oxidize. It lasts 8hrs before my forehead gets oily. It gives your face the most beautiful matte glowy effect . Which sounds weird but it really does!! Your skin does literally wake up! Give this a try!
I was really excited to try out this product after reading all the great reviews. I bought the foundation and the concealer and I was unfortunately disappointed with both of the products. The foundation is not dewy on me at all and that's what I was looking for in a foundation. I found it very streaky, it took me a long time to blend it in and it looked so cakey that I had to take it off immediately. (it didn't feel good on my face either). I might give this another try and might use it with another moisturizer underneath hopefully that will help because then it's just a waste. I do love the pump and the packaging, very cute. The smell is also very fresh and clean. It also does run very light in the color range. It goes from very pale shades straight to tanned ones and there's nothing in between for my olive tone skin.
The concealer was a disappointment as well. It has chunks of glitter in it and that's definitely not what I need because it makes me look like a disco ball and it accentuates the blemishes and dark under eye circles even more. It does provide a decent coverage though, I just wish it didn't have all that glitter in it.
Overall the I'd give the foundation a 6/10
and the concealer a 5/10

I feel bad saying I won't buy this foundation again. The reason is because it doesn't suit my skin and not because it isn't a good foundation... it is just too dewy looking on me and transfers off after a couple of hours. When I first applied it I loved the look and feel of it, I would recommend this for dry or normal skin. Stay away if you are a bit oily! You don't need a lot of product, it has medium coverage and blends easily, it doesn't dry out or go cakey looking. The packaging is good, I like the pump which most lower priced foundations don't include.
I have to edit this review - I have repurchased because I got compliments when I used this foundation recently. I notice that it sinks into my skin well, it doesn't sit on the surface so has a more natural effect. Because so many people commented how good my skin looked when I used it the other week I have decided that re-applying halfway through the day is worth it. I have been using the Rimmell Stay Matte powder through the centre of my face and does help with the transfer problem.
I got given this foundation and whilst I do love the dewiness, this just won't last on me! I don't have particularly oily skin or anything but within 4-5 hours, the lovely finish has gone and the foundation has quickly turned blotchy. Whilst this is meant to be a medium coverage foundation, I would expect it to cover up my redness and it only did after quite a few layers, but I must praise it for its blendability, colour match and how it doesn't go cakey. But overall, this foundation just didn't live up to its great claims.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great drugstore foundation, I have normal skin and it doesn't dry it out or make it look oily like other foundations have done. It gives a really glowy look and smells lovely! The consistency of it is fantastic and it offers a medium but buildable coverage without looking cakey and stay on all day! Would definitely recommend this product :)
Pros- great value, nice dewy effect, great variety of shades, smells nice, isn't too sticky nor too watery. Cons- only medium coverage, although good for summer, people with blemishes and acne may find the low coverage doesn't cover these imperfections. If you have normal skin like me, the coverage looks fantastic.

Dayton Audio's impressive T652 towers, just $119 a pair, for those who want to rock on the cheap stuff!
Sound bars take up less space and have fewer wires, but don't sound as good as home-theater-in-a-box systems, says the Audiophiliac.
The art of retail arbitrage -- buying products from brick-and mortar stores and selling them online for a higher price -- is alive and well.
The Audiophiliac wants to hear from his readers about the cheapest, but good-sounding speakers and headphones. How low can you go?
The Audiophiliac discovers a new budget-priced, audiophile-grade speaker: the Chane A1rx-c!
Most people aren't audiophiles and couldn't care less about sound quality. Are you one of them?
It's hard to expect all that much from a $79 subwoofer, but Dayton Audio's Sub-800 is a knockout.
The Audiophiliac auditions the Sony SS-CS5 speaker, the least-expensive three-way bookshelf speaker you can buy from a major manufacturer.

Notorious Markets List Focuses Fight Against Global Piracy and Counterfeiting of American Products
Washington, D.C. –United States Trade Representative Michael Froman today announced the findings of the Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets for 2013, which identifies markets around the world that harm American businesses and undermine our workers, through the infringement of intellectual property rights (IPRs). This annual review identifies both online and physical marketplaces engaging in commercial-scale IPR infringement. The publication of the Notorious Markets report helps the United States and foreign governments to prioritize enforcement of the intellectual property rights that protect job-supporting innovation and creativity in the United States and around the world.
"According to a U.S. Commerce Department study released in 2012, America's innovative and creative industries support roughly $775 billion in merchandise exports annually and 40 million jobs here at home. The markets we have identified unfairly take from these American workers, diminishing the value and salability of their work and threatening their jobs. And some of the counterfeit goods sold in the identified physical markets, from medicines and personal care products to automotive parts, can even threaten the health and safety of consumers. The marketplaces identified here warrant the immediate attention of our trading partners," said Ambassador Froman.
The Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets identifies particularly infamous markets, and does not constitute an exhaustive list of all markets dealing in pirated or counterfeit goods around the world. Nor does it reflect the United States Government's analysis of the general IPR protection and enforcement climate in the country concerned; such analysis is contained in the annual Special 301 Report issued at the end of April. However, the United States urges the responsible authorities to intensify efforts to combat piracy and counterfeiting, and to use the information contained in the Notorious Markets Review to pursue legal actions where appropriate.
To read the full report, which includes examples of previously-identified Notorious Markets that have taken meaningful steps to address piracy and counterfeiting, click here.
USTR has identified notorious markets in the Special 301 Report since 2006. In 2010, USTR announced that it would begin to publish the Notorious Markets List separately from the Special 301 Report to increase public awareness and guide related trade and other enforcement actions. USTR published the first stand-alone Notorious Markets List in February 2011 as an "Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets," and has published a list for every year since.
Today's announcement concludes the 2013 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets, which was initiated on September 20, 2013, through publication in the Federal Register of a request for public comments. The Notorious Markets List was developed by the U.S. Government agencies represented on the USTR-chaired Special 301 Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC). The request for comments and the public's responses can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov, Docket number USTR-2013-0030. Information about Special 301, the TPSC process, and other trade issues is available at www.ustr.gov.

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE www.nationalreview.com PRINT
A White House source calls to my attention the fact that Harriet Miers did not become deputy chief of staff until July 2003 and notes that it is therefore not surprising that my e-mail correspondent did not see her at any meetings of the White House's judicial selection committee. This information also means, of course, that the assertion by Hugh Hewitt that my e-mail correspondent was responding to—that Miers has been a member of the judicial selection committee "for three years"—was mistaken, as the correct period would be some two years and three months.
I must emphasize, however, that, even with respect to the period between July 2003 and mid-November 2004 (when the President stated his intention to appoint Miers as White House counsel), I have separately been given serious reason to believe that Hewitt's account dramatically (though again, I presume, inadvertently) overstates Miers's actual participation in the work of the judicial selection committee.

Our series on teams in the Eastern Conference looks at the New York Knicks, who re-signed Carmelo Anthony, but overhauled elsewhere including the front office and head coach.
Al Harrington only appeared in 34 games for the Wizards a year ago, and because they weren't confident that he could handle the grind of an 82-game season he instead took a one-year deal in China.
The Wizards announced their entire eight-game preseason schedule, which includes four local games and starts with a rare John Wall and Derrick Rose matchup.
Charlotte is noted for its defense under coach Steve Clifford, and this is why bringing in Lance Stephenson appears to be a perfect fit for the backcourt.
