Many constituents in thyme team up to provide its antitussive (preventing and treating a cough), antispasmodic, and expectorant (thinning the mucus to allow for coughing out) actions. The primary constituents are the volatile oils, which include the phenols, thymol and carvacol.24 These are complemented by the actions of flavonoids. Thyme, either alone or in combination with herbs such as sundew, continues to be one of the most commonly recommended herbs in Europe for the treatment of dry, spasmodic coughs as well as whooping cough.25 Due to the low toxicity of the herb, it has become a favorite for treating coughs in small children.
The German Commission E monograph recommends a cup (250 ml) of tea made from 1/4-1/2 teaspoon (1-2 grams) of the herb taken several times daily as needed for a cough.26 A fluid extract, 1/4-3/4 teaspoon (1-4 ml) three times per day, can also be used. Another alternative is to use a tincture, 1/3-1 teaspoon (2-6 ml) three times per day.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the presentation, resolution of symptoms, processes of care, and outcomes of pneumococcal pneumonia, and to compare features of the bacteremic and nonbacteremic forms of this illness.
DESIGN: A prospective cohort study.
SETTING: Five medical institutions in 3 geographic locations.
PARTICIPANTS: Inpatients and outpatients with communityacquired pneumonia (CAP).
MEASUREMENTS: Sociodemographic characteristics, respiratory and nonrespiratory symptoms, and physical examination findings were obtained from interviews or chart review. Severity of illness was assessed using a validated prediction rule for short-term mortality in CAP. Pneumococcal pneumonia was categorized as bacteremic; nonbacteremic, pure etiology; or nonbacteremic, mixed etiology.
MAIN RESULTS: One hundred fifty-eight (6.9%) of 2,287 patients (944 outpatients, 1,343 inpatients) with CAP had pneumococcal pneumonia. Sixty-five (41%) of the 158 with pneumococcal pneumonia were bacteremic; 74 (47%) were nonbacteremic with S. pneumoniae as sole pathogen; and 19 (12%) were nonbacteremic with S. pneumoniae as one of multiple pathogens. The pneumococcal bacteremia rate for outpatients was 2.6% and for inpatients it was 6.6%. Cough, dyspnea, and pleuritic pain were common respiratory symptoms. Hemopytsis occurred in 16% to 22% of the patients. A large number of nonrespiratory symptoms were noted. Bacteremic patients were less likely than nonbacteremic patients to have sputum production and myalgias (60% vs 82% and 33% vs 57%, respectively; P<.01 for both), more likely to have elevated blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels, and more likely to receive pencillin therapy. Half of bacteremic patients were in the low risk category for short-term mortality (groups I to III), similar to the nonbacteremic patients. None of the 32 bacteremic patients in risk groups I to III died, while 7 of 23 (30%) in risk group V died. Intensive care unit admissions and pneumonia-related mortality were similar between bacteremic and nonbacteremic groups, although 46% of the bacteremic group had respiratory failure compared with 32% and 37% for the other groups. The nonbacteremic pure etiology patients returned to household activities faster than bacteremic patients. Symptoms frequently persisted at 30 days: cough (50%); dyspnea (53%); sputum production (48%); pleuritic pain (13%); and fatigue (63%).
CONCLUSIONS: There were few differences in the presentation of bacteremic and nonbacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia. About half of bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia patients were at low risk for mortality. Symptom resolution frequently was slow.

Dynamic Packet Fragmentation for Increased Virtual Channel Utilization in On-Chip Routers
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Conventional packet-switched on-chip routers provide good resource sharing while minimizing latencies through various techniques. A Virtual Channel (VC) is allocated on a per-packet basis and held until the entire packet exits the VC buffer. This sometimes leads to inefficient use of VCs at high network loads. A blocked packet can affect adjacent routers, resulting in a congestion propagation effect. In such a scenario, VC buffers may be empty although they are regarded as fully occupied by a blocked packet. This paper proposes a dynamic packet fragmentation technique which releases empty VC buffers by fragmenting packets and allowing other packets to use the freed VC buffers.

GAURIMARG, named after Devi Parvati,wife of Lord Mahadev/Shiv, finds mention in Shivpuraan. Gauri= Parvati: Marg= Meadow.So literally it means the meadow of Devi Parvati. A temple dedicated to Lord Shiv is still in place at centre of this beautiful meadow. GAURIMARG was a favourite resort of the Hindu Kings of Kashmir. The original name Gaurimarg was changed to Gulmarg by the Muslim King Yousuf Shah Chak. GAURIMARG, has been a resort for the kings like Yousuf Shah Chak and Jahangir who used to visit frequently. GULMARG, means, the place of roses. During the early part of the 20th century the famous Central Asian explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862–1943), made his home here in a tent between his expeditions. It was a favourite summer holiday destination for the British stationed in India.
The surrounding areas were politically restive during a period of relative peace and quiet. The town is nestled within the imposing Himalayan peaks, and lies within miles of the Line of Control. It receives heavy snowfall during the winter season and is a popular ski resort.[3]
With the abatement of militancy in the area, Gulmarg has quickly become one of the state's most visited destinations. The slopes of Afarwat Hills of the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalaya Chain boast one of the longest and highest ski slopes in Asia. The total distance covered by ski lifts is five kilometres and the resort peaks at an altitude of 3,950 m (12,959 ft), accessed by an aerial gondola (telecabine). The skiing project was inaugurated by the Chief Minister on 25 December 2004. The entire hill is guarded by the army at all times. The army, which is seen everywhere in the cities of Kashmir, is not in the town or the actual hilltop. Frisking is only done midway on the access road at 3 places: Tangmarg, near an army camp on the road from Tangmarg, and 5 km before entering Gulmarg. Gulmarg does not have any permanent residents. All living in Gulmarg are hotel employees and guests.
Gulmarg is easily accessible from Srinagar or Srinagar Airport (SXR), the capital of Kashmir, in under 2 hours by car or bus. Just 1 hour on the way is the town of Tangmarg, a key tourist attraction and also a main destination for skiers riding down from Gulmarg during the winter months. From Tangmarg, the Gulmarg plateau is just 30 minutes travel. Gulmarg has around 40 hotels ranging from extremely budget accommodation in private huts to hotels that are of a similar standard to a western Bed & Breakfast. When hotels say 5 star expect similar standards to the aforementioned bed and breakfast or motel. The peak season starts with the snowfall in December and lasts until March (April if it is a good season). The charges for one night stay during peak season in a hotel range typically between Rs1500 to Rs6500+, however there is also accommodation available for Rs500 which is only for the hardcore. The pre-season and post-season rates may have a discount but this is not standard.
According to CNN, Gulmarg is the "heartland of winter sports in India."[4] Gulmarg was being mooted as a possible host for the 2010 Commonwealth Winter Games. As such, Gulmarg has been rated by CNN International as Asia's seventh best ski destination.[5] This resort is famous because of its "Gulmarg Gondola," one of the highest cable car in the world, reaching 3,979 metres.[6] The two-stage ropeway ferries about 600 people per hour to and from the gondola main station in Gulmarg to a shoulder of nearby Mt. Apharwat Summit (4,200 m (13,780 ft)). The ropeway project is a joint venture of the Jammu and Kashmir government and French firm Pomagalski. The first stage transfers from the Gulmarg resort at 2,600 m (8,530 ft) to Kongdoori Station at 3,080 m in the bowl-shaped Kongdori valley. The second stage of the ropeway, which has 36 cabins and 18 towers, takes skiers to a height of 3,950 m (12,959 ft) on Kongdoori Mountain, a shoulder of nearby Mt. Afarwat Peak (4,200 m (13,780 ft)). The second stage was completed in a record time of about two years at a cost of Rs11 crore and opened on May 28, 2005. The French company had also built the first phase of the gondola project, connecting Gulmarg to Kongdoori, in 1998. The JKSCCC also constructed chair lifts to connect Kongdoori with Mary's Shoulder for intermediate and advanced skiers.
The "heartland of winter sports in India", as quoted by CNN, is a gathering ground for all things extreme sports and outdoors related. In the winter, the diverse and extreme terrain combines with torrential snowfall to create a snow destination that is among the best in the world. From the Kongdori station, Skiers can ski down a groomed trail through the woods that descends 450m in about 3.8 km. There are also countless off-piste possibilities through the beautiful Khilanmarg Forest that CNN called the 16th best Ski destination in the world in 2013. The Afarwat ridge at 3850+ metres offers an avalanche controlled ski area that offers a wide field of snow to descend 800 m in approximately 3 km of skiing, and is for advanced skiers only. Back-country skiing off the far ends of the Afarwat ridge and Heli-skiing are also available.
As the destination itself is still undeveloped, skiers and riders never have to suffer the long queues that are so prevalent in other international snow destinations – it is not uncommon to get up to 10 runs in a day from the top of the gondola and to be carving fresh lines in untracked snow for the best part of a day. Due to Gulmarg's steep terrain, the region is popular amongst advanced and extreme skiers from around the world and has been visited by a number of ski professionals and featured in a number of ski films.
The summer is just as busy. With temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 °C, Gulmarg attracts outdoor sports fanatics with its world class golfing, trekking, mountain biking, horse riding, water skiing, and fishing.
Gulmarg has a lot of highest things along with its name, and of them is the Gulmarg golf club. It is the highest green golf course in the world. There are a few places of religious importance near the resort within a 5 to 20 km radius like Baba Reshi, Haji Murad at Kreeri and Tangmarg.
Gulmarg is among the most famous tourist destinations in India and there is a need for some tightened regulation to save the environment of the area from over tourism.[7]
Film shooting[edit]
Gulmarg has been the location of shooting of many Bollywood Films like Bobby, Jab Tak Hai Jaan,[8]Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Highway, Phantom Haider etc.[9][10][11][12][13][14] A scene in Bobby was shot in a hut in Gulmarg,that later come to be known as Bobby Hut.[15][16][17]

DREAMers Are Back And They're Coming For The GOP And Clinton
After playing a key role in securing Obama's executive actions on immigration, DREAMer activists are back, confronting Republicans, with an eye towards Hillary Clinton too.
After playing a key role in securing Obama's executive actions on immigration, DREAMer activists are back, confronting Republicans, with an eye towards Hillary Clinton too.
"We are Americans." Perry and Christie were speaking at the Iowa Freedom Summit, which features appearances by a number of top 2016 candidates, and is being hosted by Steve King, the Republican known for his strict views on undocumented immigration. Two DREAMers were arrested.
A forgotten detail about 2008: Hillary Clinton beat Obama 2–1 among Latinos in their primary and it wasn't all name recognition — but big challenges still lie ahead to maintain huge Latino support for Democrats. One other one: the looming possibility of Jeb Bush.
As rumors ramp up that Mitt's considering another run, he emphasizes the failures of "Hillary Clinton–Barack Obama" foreign policy, economic opportunity, and addressing poverty.
Anitere Flores, who has been rumored as a possible Senate candidate if Marco Rubio runs for president, and Sean Reyes, Utah's attorney general in the middle of the immigration battle, spoke to BuzzFeed News after an RNC "Rising Stars" event.
The network's ties to Hillary Clinton, treatment of Marco Rubio, and singular focus on immigration give Republicans fits. But for one big reason: Republicans need Univision.
A mid-2014 report found that Democratic party spending was woefully short when it came to minority vendors. Six months later, Democrats are meeting with Hispanic-business owners and have Latino hires in the pipeline, but not much else to show.
Cuban-Americans expressed mixed reactions — some joyous and others furious — on social media to news that the U.S. will normalize relations with Cuba.
Only searches in Spanish were pulled, but they show that Ebola, selfies, and Chespirito were among the top searches.
"Forget whether Hollywood is black enough. A better question is: Is Hollywood Mexican enough? You're in L.A., you've got to try not to hire Mexicans."
The Mexican actor/comedian suffered a fatal heart attack in Cancun, Mexico at the age of 85. Beautiful and sad messages flooded social media.
Two senior Egyptian army officers were killed ahead of calls for major protests by the Salafist Front, a group calling for a "Muslim youth uprising" to "topple military rule in Egypt."
Protesters with Ferguson on their minds and a high-profile incident with an NYPD officer that left Eric Garner dead, attempted to stop the parade. Police were unable to give BuzzFeed News an exact arrest figure.
The first poll of Latino voters since Obama's executive actions, first given to BuzzFeed News, shows that nearly 90% support his move, while 80% think it would be a mistake for the GOP to oppose them.
A battle raged among allies, publicly and behind the scenes, to shift focus from a legislative overhaul strategy to making the idea of executive action inevitable. This is how it happened.
"I'm going to cry if I need to because my parents' future is still in limbo. I'm gonna throw all the shade I can to people who thank Obama for his bullshit speech."
More undocumented young people and the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens will get temporary legal status. How the decision to go ahead was made, and why the parents of DREAMers aren't included.
Administration talking points sent to activists and obtained by BuzzFeed News hammer the message that his actions are legal, other presidents have acted on immigration, and the GOP can pass legislation.
They acknowledge the lives Obama will affect with long-awaited executive actions to slow deportations, but say parents of DREAMers must be protected.
President Obama plans to use executive actions in order to overhaul the nation's immigration enforcement policies. Republicans said he is cutting them out of the policy change and will work to oppose it.

Even if you don't know her name (yet), you can't not love Quvenzhané Wallis after watching this:
At Thursday's Critics Choice Awards, the 9-year-old "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star and best actress Oscar nominee accepted what will likely be her first award of many this season. She read her acceptance speech off her iPhone and was so delightfully earnest that you just wanted to squeeze her.
FULL COVERAGE: The 2013 Oscars
And then there's this: a photo of Wallis with her fellow best actress nominee, "Amour's" Emmanuelle Riva, at a Film Comment Lunch hosted by the Film Society of Lincoln Center this week. Riva, at 85, is the oldest actress to be nominated for a best actress Oscar. Wallis is the youngest. And there's not even a hint of a diva vibe. Here's hoping it stays that way as awards season rolls on.

Of course, the event is on Thursday 29th March (along with all the other events I want to go to but can't due to my thespian offspring's packed schedule), but if you have a bit more control over your diary, it might just take your fancy...
How much do I want to rifle through Mary's vintage closet? |
The vintage styling evening is being hosted by ShopStyle.co.uk on Thursday 29th March. I've never been to one of Ms Portas' Living & Giving charity shops, but now I've seen these pics I'm dying to. Living & Giving is a concept she came up with for Save the Children after her 2009 series, Mary Queen of Charity Shops and is described as "not just a shop, but a place to inspire, share, create, meet and discover".
The ShopStyle shopping event, from 6pm-9pm on Thursday, is set to include styling tips and bubbly alongside raffles and fundraising for Save the Children - and if you pop along with "stylish donations of pre-loved designer fashion or vintage pieces" you might get yourself a little gift too.
I soooo wish I could be there, but as I cannae, I wanted to share some nice little tips on "how to vintage shop" prepared for the event by stylist Mrs Jones instead (Mrs J designed Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head catsuit; that is all you ever need to know):
Mrs Jones - she knows what she's talking about |
Mrs Jones says: "Don't be put off by smells. Some bits can have a whiff of mothballs or smell a bit musty. These can easily be removed with a trip to the dry cleaners - although, and it is not very pleasing, body odour left on garments is one of the most difficult smells to get rid of, even with dry cleaning.
"Some old clothes and accessories such as handbags can look beautiful and very tempting but be careful as they can just disintegrate especially silk and lace. Give the garment a little test, pull the fabric in both hands and with your thumb nails give it a rub/scratch. If you see the threads of the fabric move about or crumble, leave it on the rack.
"Make sure you try things on or properly hold up to your body if you don't like the idea of trying before cleaning. Older clothes are generally a lot smaller as people were smaller than they are now (eg, a size 12 will usually be a size 10)."

So the second part of my vacation--the Greatest Show On Earth! The Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus at Van Andel Arena. Opening night was Thursday, so I took my kids to see all the fun!
While most toddlers struggle to learn how to use the potty, one tot in Cleveland is busy mastering geography.
Anyone who tells you spelling isn't important is wrong.
Some toys in kids meals may be actually more appropriate for bigger kids.
Much bigger kids.
Whether you realize it or not, kids know a whole heck of a lot. Their ability to come up with entertainingly intelligent nuggets of wisdom is incomparable, and we're here to prove that point even further.
So apparently when YouTube star Kid President isn't busy giving us pep talks or taking over the White House he's busy doing one of the coolest things imaginable...meeting actual president Barack Obama.
A Massachusetts father gives his children a reason, beyond the possibility of string cheese, to look forward to lunch. David Laferriere of Attleboro has been drawing on his kids' sandwich bags for the past five years, posting pics of each doodle to his flickr account.
We can't help but love local news programs. They never fail at bringing us some of the craziest people this country has to offer. For example, Fred Truluck, who believes to have seen a profile of Jesus Christ on a piece of a Corona beer box -- shaped like a fish, of course. But fear not, folks: Jimmy Kimmel came to our rescue.
Watch your backs people! Actually, watch the back of your knees because this little girl proves to be the fastest boxer in Kazakhstan and maybe the world.
It seems like Darth Vader's turned a positive corner recently. He's become part of the Disney family after all, so maybe the whole hanging out with princesses thing is turning him into a softie. Or maybe he just got a bad rep all these years. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem like the Dark Lord is all that bad. Why? Well, these kiddos are proof.
The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.

The well-equipped Thamarassery taluk hospital faces staff shortage.
The only clue to the beginnings of the Thamarassery Taluk Hospital is a small plaque inside the building that houses the OP counter which tells you that it was started in 1927 under the Calicut Taluk Board.
Most of the buildings here are new. In fact, the hospital has a wealth of infrastructure when compared to others of a similar level. But the government is yet to create enough posts required for the normal functioning of all the facilities available here.
In front of the casualty wing, there is a small notice which says that 'this facility is not functional anymore'. The casualty which has been closed for a long time due to shortage of staff functioned for a few months this year thanks to the four doctors and three nurses who were temporarily sent from the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). But with a few of them shifting out to other places, the facility closed down again two weeks back.
The case is similar in most departments here. The hospital has a state-of-the-art x-ray and lab facility. But there is no post for a lab technician or that for a person to man the x-ray facility. In fact, there is no paramedical post here.
It owns two ambulances but there is not a single post for a driver. All of these posts are temporarily filled by the hospital. The Hospital Development Committee (HDC) bears the funds for the same. The money collected from the OP ticket, gate pass, income from lab, health insurance scheme and the block panchayat's maintenance fund contributes to the HDC funds.
Abdul Rashed, the Medical Officer of the hospital, told The Hindu that the manpower shortage arose when the hospital was upgraded in status without proportional creation of posts.
"This hospital has humble beginnings in the British era as a Primary Health Centre. A few decades back it became a Community Health Centre. In 2007, it became a Taluk Hospital but without the addition of a single post. When the Thamarassery Taluk was formed this year, 600 new posts were created in various departments. But the hospital was not given a single post. Even the number of doctors and nurses is very less. We have 8 doctors where 19 are required and 11 staff nurses where 25 are required," says Dr. Rasheed.
Over the years, the hospital authorities have written to the State government a number of times for the creation of more posts but to no avail. "Many a time, our requests were rejected on flimsy grounds. The latest of the requests sent some time back is stuck in the Finance Department," he says.
No shortage
However when contacted by The Hindu, the District Medical Officer P.K. Mohanan said that there is no shortage of staff in the hospital.
"It is normal for hospital authorities to appoint temporary staff when there is a huge workload. The HDC funds are meant for that purpose," says Dr. Mohanan.
So what explains the flow of funds to infrastructure? Dr. Rasheed says that none of the existing infrastructure was funded by the State government.
"The funds have come from NRHM, the people of the area and the maintenance funds of the block panchayat. The building to house the dialysis unit which is under construction here is funded entirely by the people of this area. The operating theatre was built using NHRM funds. Even at the block level, there is no allocation in the plan fund. We are using only the maintenance funds. For the first time, Rs. 3 crore was allocated in the previous State budget for a new OP building but even that is yet to be released," says Mr. Rasheed.
The Hospital also houses a district level training centre for Palliative Care, a blood storage facility, a de-addiction centre that is set to be operational soon and a new-born stabilizing unit.

For some time, I've been interested in the possibility of a Frady Family reunion. Most interesting to me would be a "national" event intended for any/all Fradys in the U.S. to attend. Since the largest concentration of Fradys in the U.S. is in western North Carolina, it might make the most sense to hold such an event in that geographical area. Asheville might be a great location since it has a good regional airport and is within reasonable driving distance (3-3.5 hrs.) from the major international airport in Atlanta. Summer 2003 might be a good time to plan to hold such an event. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If you are interested, please respond with an email to: email@example.com Please include the following information. Your name: Your full mailing address: Your contact email address: Your contact phone #: # of people you would bring to reunion (including yourself) Method of transportation (i.e. how you would reach Asheville, by air? by car? etc.): How many days you would want reunion to include (1, 2, 2.5, or 3): I'll start compiling a list of people who are interested in attending a national Frady Family reunion. If enough interest exists, I will be in touch with you about any concrete plans for the event.

I will NOT sell your information to anyone and will not provide your information to vendors. Notify Administrator about this message?

Space flight: A giant step backwards
Faced with the astronomical cost of space flight, the US government has decided to stop funding further lunar missions. It's a short-sighted move, says David Whitehouse – the Moon has so much more to teach us
Monday 17 May 2010
There is a moment in the film Apollo 13 when Tom Hanks, portraying astronaut Jim Lovell, surveys his crippled spacecraft, turns to his colleagues and says, "We just lost the Moon."
Forty years after that space mission, the United States has done the same thing, only this time they didn't lose it by accident: the government has given up on missions to the Moon. In so doing, they have turned their back on the most important strategically placed object in the solar system and left it open for others.
It's a situation that the first man on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, now 79, does not like. Not taken to self-promotion, there is no razzamatazz or commercial exploitation of his unique place in history. He keeps his own counsel and doesn't dance with the stars. Yet he, and 26 other heroes and legends of the US space effort, wrote an open letter to President Obama asking him to think again about the Moon decision. As well as Armstrong, it was signed by Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, the other surviving member of the crew of Apollo 13, Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the Moon, Frank Borman, commander of the first crew ever to leave Earth-orbit, and many more.
Until President Bush unveiled the return to the Moon in 2005 – with the Constellation programme – the United States' policy was lost in space. Just a year earlier, Space Shuttle Columbia had disintegrated upon re-entry; it was an old vehicle and its replacement had been delayed and mismanaged. It was clear that a new vision was needed. Studies were carried out, and very early on in the deliberations the Moon loomed large as the obvious destination.
The mistakes of the Space Shuttle were not to be repeated. Crew and cargo would be launched on separate rockets, and the manned one would have an escape tower in case of an emergency – something technically impossible for the Space Shuttle. Nine billion dollars were spent, flight components and infrastructure were assembled. After the Ares-1 manned rocket became operational, the only major components that were different for the heavy-lift Ares 5 rocket were larger fuel tanks. But the project was underfunded.
Last December, a panel established by the Obama administration under veteran space manager Norm Augustine looked at the various options for the future and concluded that the Constellation program had become untenable unless billions of extra dollars were found. Some time later Obama scrapped Constellation but didn't put anything in its place – until his speech last month at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
Of the Moon he said, "We've been there. Buzz has been there." In its place there was to be a manned mission to an asteroid in 2025, and a Mars orbital flight 10 years later. A new heavy-lift rocket would also be built. But in a statement issued after Obama's speech, the aerospace company Boeing said, "A plan that includes a heavy-lift vehicle would enable space exploration supported by humans, large-array telescopes and deep-space robotic missions. It could achieve maximum benefit from American tax dollars by drawing on the cutting-edge technology already being developed for the Constellation program." And in what has been seen as a reference to Armstrong's letter: "Remaining at the forefront of human spaceflight is the only choice worthy of this great nation and to the long line of explorers and visionaries who brought us to where we are today."
Sending a crew to rendezvous with a passing asteroid in deep space way beyond the Moon's orbit is in many respects a more challenging mission than a lunar landing. It will involve a new spacecraft, months in space, advanced life-support systems and rendezvous techniques, as well as technically demanding spacewalks if it was decided that astronauts would actually walk upon the asteroid. There will probably only be one – two at the most – such missions.
Beyond that, there is the Red Planet. Undoubtedly Mars is the first true "world" of the cosmos, a world of far greater variety and importance than our lifeless Moon. It is a world of wonders awaiting exploration. In a sense, the manned landing on the Moon was just a precursor to the landing on Mars – with its mountains, canyons, shifting sand dunes and the possibility of life. But Mars does not distract from the promise of the Moon.
Obama wants to do new things in space, but his decision to turn his back on manned exploration of the Moon has left some high and dry – and the door open for others.
The Moon of today is far different from the Moon we thought we understood when the Apollo astronauts returned home with their boxes of Moon rocks. Orbiting unmanned spacecraft have discovered vast deposits of ice in the eternally dark depths of polar craters. This ice not only provides water for colonists to drink and to irrigate crops in hydroponic bays, but its constituents – hydrogen and oxygen – can be used as rocket fuel. By any ergonomic and strategic analysis, the Moon base sits at the heart of a sensible solar system exploration plan. Under Constellation, Nasa wasn't going to the Moon on its own. Many other nations were involved: Russia, France, Japan, Ukraine, to name a few, as well as the European Space Agency (ESA). Nasa currently has in orbit around the Moon the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter – its main mission is to scout for landing sites that America no longer needs.
In the past month the ESA has issued a call to industry for the design of a sophisticated unmanned spacecraft to land at the shadowy lunar south pole and drive around, under control from earth, examining the region for ice deposits. ESA sees such a mission as paving the way for astronauts and the building of a permanent Moon base, drawing on the resources of the ice found beneath the soil there.
And just as the United States is turning away from the Moon, Russia is turning towards it. A few months ago, its major space company, Energia, announced it was designing a new spacecraft that would carry six astronauts into space. Room for a few money-spinning space tourists no doubt, but also the basis for a lunar spacecraft. China has an expanding space effort, and although it hasn't formally said it intends to land astronauts on the Moon that is being talked about. In reality, they would be making a few short-duration, Apollo-like trips more than 50 years after the US did it, but that won't stop many Americans disliking the possibility that the Chinese will be on the Moon and they are not. The head of Nasa, former astronaut Charles Bolden, recently told a congressional committee it didn't matter if China landed on the Moon before the US. "It does to me, and I think it does – with respect – to a lot of Americans," the Republican representative for Virginia, Frank Wolf, interjected. It should not have come down to a choice between a trip to an asteroid and the establishment of a Moon base. For the exploration of space, a base at the lunar south pole has more long-term importance than a manned flight to Mars. The Mars mission is in 25 years. We could have a Moonbase in 15. In the early days of the US-USSR space race the Soviets went for novelty and space firsts over logical progression. It cost them the Moon.
We should develop the new technologies needed to push out into deep space from the Moon. We should let future generation of science-hungry children have science lessons from Shackleton Crater at the lunar south pole. President Obama says that we've been there – and we have, but only six times, with the longest stay being just three days and three hours. The US has taken a decision that will result in it losing the Moon. It's a great shame, as we haven't even begun to explore it.

They do a fantastic job with everything and they are very nice. I recommend this place to everyone of my friends for donuts and coffee.
It's getting more difficult to find donuts not made by the 800lb gorilla. Nicky D's is doing it and doing it well. Very fresh and a good selection. Coconut and butter crunch were great. The strawberry frosted was fantastic!
Favorite of locals, grab a coffee, bagel and or doughnut. Lots of choice, good prices. Drive thru makes it easy.
Very interesting selection of coffee! I tried the birthday cake and it tasted like someone put an actual slice of cake into a blender and somehow made it into a coffee drink. So good! I've had that flavor at other places and it's never been as good. Prices were great. My friend and I were there in the afternoon so... More
Nice selection of donuts. Try the Marlborough Cream.
Nicky D's is one of Northborough's best kept secrets. Fantastic donuts, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. Better food and better prices than chain donut stores and wonderfully mice people. Nicky D's is our family favorite.

Letter: David Watkins best choice for state representative
Sibbie Duke, Henderson
Anyone has the right to run for office, if they qualify, but don't get on the radio and talk about what or who your opponent supports — like I heard one of the candidates do.
Dr. David Watkins is the best choice for state representative. I hope the voters will keep Dr. Watkins working in Frankfort. He's well experienced and will do the right thing when it comes to making decisions.
Some of the candidates would do a better job volunteering at the Humane Society.

Hello Casper, thanks for the advise.
Here is the problem: Windows no longer boots anymore.
As advised, I've put the WindowsXP Installation CD, run the 'R' (for repair), then run fixmbr and reboot: no luck, exact same problem, it goes to the point where I choose between run Safe Mode, Safe Mode with network, start normally, etc; then whatever I choose, it starts loading but reboots imediatelly. I've the tried the fixboot command, but same thing... Windows starts loading and reboots soon afterwards.
So I think I'll have to reinstall it from scratch. I just don't know why Windows no loger boots properly, it's a mistery for me.
So what do you experts think? Is there any other shot to try?
And what about for the next installation? Do you think that transforming the disks to Dynamic make any difference? Keep the disks as Basic?
Best regards,

I've been researching micro pistol options mainly for easy pocket carry in gym shorts. Florida in the summer, a baggy pair of gym shorts around the house and yard is quite common. Now I've got numerous slightly dressier looking but still draw string and no belt loop shorts, so I've been needing something to fit this bill. The S&W 442 snub revolver works pretty good for this role, but I knew there were things easier to carry for this purpose.
After much research, reading, reviews, videos, looking, holding, and trying out I bought a new gun today.
The Taurus TCP PT738. It's "Black Stainless" slide model. I picked up several boxes of range ammo and headed off with it. Here are my observations and opinions.
- It's small, light, and thin. Easily carried in gym shorts pockets.
- Hammer fired and DAO. Good for pocket and deep concealment.
- The trigger is much better than the other micro pistols I tried.
- Stainless was important due to the humidity and living near the coast.
- Comes with 2 mags.
- Inspecting the firearm, frame, slide rails, slide, and mag components I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build, fit, and finish.
- Accuracy, I was shocked at the accuracy I was obtaining with this little mouse gun.
I put 100 rounds through it at 10 yards. Given I have very thick and wide hands, I found the gun a little difficult to grasp. I could only get my middle and ring finger on the grip and it wanted to climb out of my hand a little. But it was certainly manageable.
Recoil. It was stout but not terrible, but by the end of my first 50 round box my hand was getting sore. Took a break and shot my XDm-9 4.5 for a while and came back to it.
The very first shot from 10 yards, bullseye. I slowly shot the first mag and put them all within a couple inches. Sped up faster and kept them in a fist sized circle. Practiced point shooting quickly and was very pleased with the results. I practiced with both hands and just one-handed, and then switched to my left hand. Still very pleased with it.
By the end of 100 rounds, the web of my hand was red and I was feeling it. But hey, it's not a range gun, I've got plenty of others to pull long range sessions.
My overall impression is that for $289 with the black stainless slide and 2 mags, I'm very pleased with it. I was shocked at the accuracy I was able to attain straight off the bat, pretty good trigger, and it fills the role I was needing well. I put 100 rounds through it with no issues. Below are the mandatory "no pics it didn't happen" pics:

This is a really good recipe. I have made 2 of these cakes for the last 4 Passsovers (large Seder gathering). I bake it in 2 9x13" pans and we cut it in squares. If you have ever made other Passover cake recipes and then try this one you will realize how superior it is. Most Passover cakes tend to be very dry and a little tasteless (and I have tried lots!) This recipe is moist, fruity and delicious. This year I am going to try baking it in one large pan - I hope that works well, it will save a little time.
please try this recipe! it makes a light and flavorful cake, and the strawberries are great with it. i agree about using an electric mixer and definitely make sure the eggs are room temperature in order to acheive maximum volume. i've even substituted splenda for the sugar, and it came out fine. i come from a family of chocoholics, but everyone raved about this dessert.
I don't recommend making this one without an electric hand mixer. However, I've made this cake three times now and everybody seems to like it. I usually prepare a basic chocolate glaze to drizzle over the top. Don't let it sit between mixing and baking the thicker batter might settle at the bottom.
I am with Nikki from BC. Try the recipes first and then add your own twist before you criticize the recioe that has been kitchen tested by Bon Appetit or Gourmet. These folks have been cooking far longer than most readers, so show some respect for excellence already established!
