Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has completed a reconnaissance "walkabout" of the first outcrop it reached at the base of the mission's destination mountain and has begun a second pass examining selected rocks in the outcrop in more detail.
Exposed layers on the lower portion of Mount Sharp are expected to hold evidence about dramatic changes in the environmental evolution of Mars. That was a major reason NASA chose this area of Mars for this mission.
The lowermost of these slices of time ascending the mountain includes a pale outcrop called "Pahrump Hills."
This small ridge, about 3 feet (1 meter) long, appears to resist wind erosion more than the flatter plates around it. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Pasadena, CA – Reddish rock powder from the first hole drilled into a Martian mountain by NASA's Curiosity rover has yielded the mission's first confirmation of a mineral mapped from orbit.
"This connects us with the mineral identifications from orbit, which can now help guide our investigations as we climb the slope and test hypotheses derived from the orbital mapping," said Curiosity Project Scientist John Grotzinger, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Pasadena, CA – NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has reached the Red Planet's Mount Sharp, a Mount-Rainier-size mountain at the center of the vast Gale Crater and the rover mission's long-term prime destination.
"Curiosity now will begin a new chapter from an already outstanding introduction to the world," said Jim Green, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "After a historic and innovative landing along with its successful science discoveries, the scientific sequel is upon us."

Pasadena, CA – NASA's most advanced roving laboratory on Mars celebrates its second anniversary since landing inside the Red Planet's Gale Crater on August 5th, 2012, PDT (August 6th, 2012, EDT).
During its first year of operations, the Curiosity rover fulfilled its major science goal of determining whether Mars ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
Clay-bearing sedimentary rocks on the crater floor in an area called Yellowknife Bay yielded evidence of a lake bed environment billions of years ago that offered fresh water, all of the key elemental ingredients for life, and a chemical source of energy for microbes, if any existed there.
This image from the Navigation Camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows wheel tracks printed by the rover as it drove on the sandy floor of a lowland called "Hidden Valley" on the route toward Mount Sharp. The image was taken on Aug. 4, 2014.
Pasadena, CA – As it approaches the second anniversary of its landing on Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover is also approaching its first close look at bedrock that is part of Mount Sharp, the layered mountain in the middle of Mars' Gale Crater.
The mission made important discoveries during its first year by finding evidence of ancient lake and river environments. During its second year, it has been driving toward long-term science destinations on lower slopes of Mount Sharp.
This full-circle panorama of the landscape surrounding NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on July 31, 2014, offers a view into sandy lower terrain called "Hidden Valley," which is on the planned route ahead. It combines several images from Curiosity's Navigation Camera. South is at the center. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Mars Curiosity rover will complete a Martian year — 687 Earth days — on June 24th, having accomplished the mission's main goal of determining whether Mars once offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.
One of Curiosity's first major findings after landing on the Red Planet in August 2012 was an ancient riverbed at its landing site. Nearby, at an area known as Yellowknife Bay, the mission met its main goal of determining whether the Martian Gale Crater ever was habitable for simple life forms.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used the camera at the end of its arm in April and May 2014 to take dozens of component images combined into this self-portrait where the rover drilled into a sandstone target called "Windjana." (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
Pasadena, CA – Portions of rock powder collected by the hammering drill on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from a slab of Martian sandstone will be delivered to the rover's internal instruments.
Rover team members at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, received confirmation early today (Tuesday) of Curiosity's third successful acquisition of a drilled rock sample, following the drilling Monday evening (PDT).
This May 5, 2014, image from the Navigation Camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows two holes at top center drilled into a sandstone target called "Windjana." The farther hole was created by the rover's drill while it collected rock-powder sample material from the interior of the rock.
Pasadena, CA – The team operating NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is telling the rover to use several tools this weekend to inspect a sandstone slab being evaluated as a possible drilling target.
If this target meets criteria set by engineers and scientists, it could become the mission's third drilled rock, and the first that is not mudstone. The team calls it "Windjana," after a gorge in Western Australia.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has driven within robotic-arm's reach of the sandstone slab at the center of this April 23 view from the rover's Mast Camera. The rover team plans to have Curiosity examine a target patch on the rock, called "Windjana," to aid a decision about whether to drill there. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
Pasadena, CA – On Wednesday, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover drove the last 98 feet feet (30 meters) needed to arrive at a site planned since early 2013 as a destination for studying rock clues about ancient environments that may have been favorable for life.
The rover reached a vantage point for its cameras to survey four different types of rock intersecting in an area called "the Kimberley," after a region of western Australia.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover recorded this view of various rock types at waypoint called "the Kimberley" shortly after arriving at the location on April 2, 2014. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Pasadena, CA – Variations in the stuff that cements grains together in sandstone have shaped the landscape surrounding NASA's Curiosity Mars rover and could be a study topic at the mission's next science waypoint.
On a journey with many months yet to go toward prime destinations on the lower slope of Mount Sharp, Curiosity is approaching a site called "the Kimberley." Scientists on the team picked this location last year as a likely place to pause for investigation.
Sandstone layers with varying resistance to erosion are evident in this Martian scene recorded by the Mast Camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on Feb. 25, 2014, about one-quarter mile (about 400 meters) from a planned waypoint called "the Kimberley." (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Palm Coast motorcyclist killed while driving along U.S. 1
Date: December 4, 2012
by: The Observer Staff
(Click "Like" to become a fan of the Palm Coast Observer.)
A Palm Coast man was killed around 9:55 p.m. Monday after he failed to negotiate a turn along U.S. 1, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
David Brown, 55, was traveling southbound on U.S. 1, occupying the right lane. He failed to negotiate a left curve and proceeded onto the west shoulder, the report states.
Brown's 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle then began to overturn "a number of times" before Brown was ejected.
The motorcycle struck the back of an unoccupied fifth-wheel travel trailer that was parked in front of a residence along U.S. 1, according to the report. The motorcycle came to a final rest inside the travel trailer.
Brown tumbled southbound along the west grass shoulder before coming to final rest.
According to the report, Brown was not wearing a helmet and was pronounced dead at the scene. Alcohol involvement is pending, according to the report.

Isiah Thomas has not been much of a coach. Or general manager. Or league owner. Or popcorn salesman. Or human being. Fair enough. Still, we don't wish his current situation on anyone:
By Donnie Walsh edict, Thomas isn't allowed to have any contact with the Knicks players. No chatting, no eye contact, no sharing the same airspace. If he wants his checks, he'll steer clear. And there's plenty of checks left: he still has multiple years left on that contract at millions of dollars per.
So what's left for Isiah at Madison Square Garden, exiled from all that he knew and cared about there? Why, he can still tell stories about the late-80s Pistons with James Dolan all afternoon while offering the same fake chuckle that got him the contract originally and die a little inside. From general manager and head coach of the jewel of the NBA to this guy's li'l buddy:
Someone get Isiah a buyout fast before this turns tragic.

Monday, 20 Jul 2009 12:00 PM
By Ronald Kessler
Ever since President Barack Obama took office, Jewish leaders have been asking for a meeting with him. The White House, apparently thinking Jewish support for Obama was in the pocket, put them off. But a major Jewish leader says that after Newsmax.com reported on deep concerns in the Jewish community about Obama's Middle East initiatives and statements, the White House responded quickly by asking 14 top Jewish leaders to meet with the president on July 13.
Yet that important Jewish leader, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says he was barred from attending the meeting because of criticism he aimed at Obama.
In June, Newsmax reported that Klein and Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, believed Obama's Jewish support was eroding as a result of his recent Middle East activities.
"The Hoenlein and Klein interviews [with Newsmax] got the ball really rolling," Klein tells Newsmax. "This meeting was called because they were getting very worried that more and more Jewish people are expressing concern about Obama's policies on Israel. The White House wanted to stop the bleeding, as expressed in Newsmax interviews and picked up elsewhere." Klein says that "Newsmax was a significant factor in this meeting happening."
At 3 p.m. on July 13, Obama met for 45 minutes with Hoenlein, whose organization represents 50 major Jewish groups, and 13 other Jewish leaders. Klein, whose organization of 30,000 members is the oldest pro-Israel group in the country, was not invited. According to press reports, only Jewish leaders known to be sympathetic to Obama were invited to the meeting.
Klein's White House contacts told him flat out that he was shunned because of his strong criticism of Obama. In his June interview with Newsmax, Klein said that Obama may be the "most hostile president to Israel" ever.
"They said to me, 'How do you expect us to invite you to a meeting with the president when you keep criticizing the president?'" Klein says.
Klein found the White House response to him surprising, and "remarkable that the president has said he wants to be bipartisan and reach out to people who don't agree with him and that he wants to hear all good ideas, even if they're different from his."
Klein also found it ironic that he was chastised for criticizing the president, and banned from a meeting with top Jewish leaders, at the same time Obama has argued for sitting down and negotiating with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Klein said he told White House aides, "You won't allow me in the meeting to discuss issues. And you want to negotiate with these evil haters of America, but I can't be at a meeting where I would express my concerns very respectfully and responsibly?"
Klein says he has talked to several people who attended the off-the-record meeting. He was told that though the meeting was amicable, Obama was asked why he is pressuring Israel and not the Arabs on contentious issues.
Obama, Klein says, responded that he is dealing firmly and forthrightly with the Arabs but the media are not emphasizing that.
Klein says the Jewish leaders did not bring up important matters about some of Obama's statements, including his use of mistaken statistics and analogies in his Cairo speech in June.
As a child of survivors of the Holocaust, Klein says he was particularly offended by Obama's comparison of the suffering of Palestinians with the Nazis' murder of more than 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. This issue was not raised, nor was Obama's claim that America has an astonishing 7 million Muslims.
Klein said Obama's claim showed a willingness by him to use phony figures to support a tilt toward Muslims.
"Every major survey shows there's between 1.5 million and 2.5 million Muslims in America," Klein says. "Where does he get the number 7 million? This is the number that the Arab propagandists promote. There's no legitimate survey that shows a number of that nature."
Liberal groups at the meeting were pleased with Obama's responses, Klein says. Others, like the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, expressed concerns.
Since his Newsmax interview in June, Klein doubts Obama's meeting with a select group of Jewish leaders will help him. Klein thinks Jewish support for Obama has dwindled even more in the past month.
"In my own experience of speaking to many different people and speaking to synagogues around the country in the last few weeks, I'm seeing an acceleration of concern about Obama's position on Israel," Klein says. "Even supporters of Obama who voted for him are telling me that they're beginning to have concerns about him."

[more ▼] Bleaching in corals can be attributed to loss of endosymbiotic zooxanthellae and/or loss of photosynthetic pigments within zooxanthellae. This major disturbance of the reef ecosystem is principally induced by increases in water temperature. Since the beginning of the 80ís and the onset of global climate change, this phenomenon has been occurring at increasing rates and scales, and with increasing severity. In this study, we focused on finding early regulated genes involved in bleaching. In aquaria, one set of Pocillopora damicornis nubbins was subjected to a gradual seawater temperature increase from 28°C to 32°C over 15 days, and a second control set remained at constant temperature (28°C). Bleaching was monitored by measuring zooxanthellae density. The mRNA differentially expressed between the stressed state (sampled just before the onset of bleaching) and the non stressed state (control) were isolated from the nubbins by Suppression Subtractive Hybridization. The corresponding cDNA were sequenced and confronted to sequence databases to obtain gene similarities. Finally, transcription rates of the most interesting genes were conducted by Q-PCR. Two particularly interesting candidate genes showed an important decrease in their transcription rates following thermal stress and before zooxanthellae loss. These two genes show similarities with genes involved in host/symbiont and host/parasite models. The implication of these molecular actors suggests a possible role of recognition mechanisms between the host and its symbiont, in the breakdown of the symbiosis during the bleaching phenomenon. Experiments such as RACE-PCR, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry are currently underway to confirm our hypotheses.

[more ▼] Artificial pastures are used to increase carrying capacity in the wet tropics by supplying higher quality forage (energy and protein) to the animals all year long. Sowing pastures is labour-intensive so to be profitable all other possible growth limiting factors, especially minerals, should be alleviated. We studied nutrients intake (energy, protein and minerals) in cattle grazing Urochloa sp. pastures in Western DRC. Three Urochloa ruziziensis and 3 U. decumbens pastures in Kolo-Fuma (Bas-Congo, DRC) were studied. Three Ndama steers and 3 cows grazing each pasture consecutively during the short rainy and dry seasons were followed by handplucking and samples were analysed for energy, crude protein and ash to calculate energy value (fodder units, FU) and digestible crude protein content (DCP) of the diets. NIRS was used on faeces to determine dry matter (DM) intake and ICP-AES to determine mineral content of the diets. Intake levels reached 66 ± 4.3 g kg-1LW0.75, nutritive value of forage was 0.701 ± 0.036 FU and 4.78 ± 1.04 % DCP, allowing daily weight gains > 550 g for steers and > 350 g for cows. P, Ca, Mg, K, Mn & Fe were provided above requirements by the pasture. Na, Cu and Zn were deficient, especially during the short dry season for Cu and Zn. U. ruziziensis pastures tended to provide more minerals, especially during the rainy season. A mineral supplement providing Na, Cu and Zn is required to reach the daily weight gains allowed by energy and protein supplies. The supplement could reasonably be similar for U. decumbens and U. ruziziensis pastures, but the dry season formula should provide more Cu and Zn than the rainy season formula [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 65 (14 ULg)Potential neuroprotective properties of atracurium and cisatracurium in neurosurgical anaesthesia Hans, Pol ; Bonhomme, Vincent in European Journal of Anaesthesiology (2004), 21(4), 334-335 Detailed reference viewed: 11 (0 ULg)POTENTIAL OF A NETWORK OF ELECTRONIC NOSES TO ASSESS IN REAL TIME THE ODOUR ANNOYANCE IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF A COMPOST FACILITY Nicolas, Jacques ; ; Romain, Anne-Claude et al in Del Rosso, Renato (Ed.)

[more ▼] In vitro risk assessment of dietary contaminants has become a priority in human food safety. This paper proposes an in vitro approach associating different complementary tools in an original toolbox and aims to improve the assessment of the toxicological impact of dietary contaminants at realistic human exposure levels, with a special focus on the intestinal compartment. The system is based on the use of four complementary cellular tools, namely stress gene induction in transgenic strains of Escherichia coli, modulation of the activity of key biotransformation enzymes (cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1 and 3A4) in a human intestinal cell line, and activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and oestrogenic receptor (ER)-dependent genes in agonistic and antagonistic assays with luciferase reporter cells. It was applied to four chosen model molecules: ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON), two common food-borne mycotoxins, and imazalil (IMA) and benomyl (BEN), two fungicides widely occurring in foodstuffs. All these assays were performed at or around a realistic intestinal concentration, determined through a deterministic approach based on the calculation of a theoretical maximum daily intake (TMDI). Using the four model molecules, it is clearly highlighted that induction of CYP1A1 activity and inhibition of CYP3A4 activity occurred in Caco-2 cells at a realistic intestinal concentration of IMA. Furthermore, some bacterial stress genes were induced in a range of realistic concentrations, following exposure to DON and IMA. In addition, BEN clearly provoked an ER agonistic activity in a human oestrogen sensitive reporter cell line. All these results are in accordance with the literature, suggesting that the in vitro toolbox constitutes an interesting approach in order to obtain a first 'fingerprint' of dietary contaminants at realistic human exposure for further risk assessment.

[more ▼] GC/MS (Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry) is the analytical method of choice for carboxylic acids analysis because of good sensitivity, low limit of detection and the possibility to compare the pattern of fragmentation with existing databases for identification. However GC requires that the analytes are volatile. If it is not the case, the use of chemicals in order to perform the derivatization is mandatory, this may induce analytical bias. CE (Capillary electrophoresis) is a technique of choice for ions separation without prior treatments. The method is fast and do not require highly technical skills. A UV detector is the most common detection method; however electrospray mass spectrometry detection is recently gaining interest, while it really helps for structural information of the detected compounds. In this poster, the preliminary results of CE/MS analysis of several carboxylic acids are presented. All carboxylic acids are analyzed without any sample pretreatment. These acids looked at are from the "Citric Acid Cycle" including pyruvate and some isotope labeled analogues but also glyoxylate, lactate, oxalate and tartrate. Moreover, the preliminary results of a sample preparation approach to remove phosphate salts are presented. Phosphate is a very common salt that is often used in biological buffers but prevents the derivatization of carboxylic acid for GC/MS analysis and reduces the reproducibility of results for both GC/MS and CE/MS analysis.

In our previous ... [more ▼] Egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) are considered as a promising tool of establishing passive immunity against enteric pathogens (e.g. Salmonella) in poultry (Kovacs-Nolan and Mine, 2005). In our previous works, in-feed incorporation of freeze-dried yolk powder (FYP) improved performances of Salmonella-infected broilers (Marcq et al., 2009). Nevertheless, no extra value could be attributed to the presence of specific IgY when a comparison was done between impact of hyperimmune or non immune FYP both concerning growth performances and Salmonella infection. We hypothesized that these inconclusive in vivo results were related to the sensitivity of IgY to gastrointestinal conditions. Egg yolks with high IgY titers directed against Salmonella Enteritidis and Typhimurium were obtained from laying hens immunized as previously described (Chalghoumi et al., 2008). Three feed additives derived from these eggs were produced: FYP, spray-dried yolk powder (SYP), and freeze-dried water-soluble fraction of yolk powder (WSFP). A force-feeding assay was realized on these additives with 48 five-week-old males Ross broiler chicken (Salmonella spp.-free status). Survival of undigested IgY and bioactive Fab fragments was evaluated in the intestinal tract by ELISA. Statistical analyses were done using GLM procedure of Minitab 15.1. Software. Differences were considered significant when P<0.05. As a result of the digestive process, the levels of total and specific undigested IgY found throughout the intestine were dramatically reduced for the three additives. For FYP, no difference was observed with intestinal contents of control animals (P>0.05) and for WSFP, which correspond to semi-purified IgY, the immunological activity reached the same level than that for SYP (P>0.05) whereas its initial level was almost ten times higher. The results suggest a protective effect of whole yolk on IgY with SYP but such effect was not observed with FYP. High levels of Fab fragments were identified in intestinal contents, highlighting the importance of protein digestion in the digestive tract and especially pepsin digestion. These Fab fragments conserve their immunological functionality and remained detectable in all intestinal segments including the caecum which represents the major site of Salmonella infection in poultry. These results can explain our previous challenge data and reveal that a protection treatment should be applied to dried egg yolk to improve the resistance of IgY to gastrointestinal conditions in broilers.

[more ▼] The potential of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinusL.) and corn (Zea mays L.) for accumulation of cadmium and zinc was investigated. Plants have been grown in lysimetres containing dredging sludge, a substratum naturally rich in trace metals. Biomass production was determined. Sludge and water percolating from lysimeters were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry.No visible symptoms of toxicity were observed during the three- month culture. Kenaf and corn tolerate trace metals content in sludge. Results showed that Zn and Cd were found in corn and kenaf shoots at different levels,2.49 mg/kg of Cd and 82.5 mg/kg of Zn in kenaf shoots and2.1mg/kgofCdand10.19mg/kgincornshoots. Quantities of extracted trace metals showed that decontamination of Zn and Cd polluted substrates is possible by corn and kenaf crops.

Swiss bank UBS has announced it will layoff 10,000 employees in an attempt to reduce its investment banking activities. The announcement made this week came along with huge losses in its third-quarter results. The positions will be thinned out over the next three years, and amount to 16 percent of its current workforce of 64,000.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Zurich-based firm says that as part of the cost-cutting drive it "is likely to have a headcount of around 54,000" by 2015, down from its current 64,000 employees among 57 countries.
UBS posted a net profit loss $2.31 billion, compared with a profit of $1.13 billion during the same three-month period that ended in September of last year.
"This decision has been a difficult one, particularly in a business such as ours that is all about its people," UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti said.
"Some reductions will result from natural attrition and we will take whatever measures we can to mitigate the overall effect."
UBS called it "a significant acceleration" in its transformation. The firm says it will now sharpen its focus on the investment bank and appoint a new executive to lead it.
The bank attributed some of the declining profit to a pretax charge of $920 million linked to an accounting rule on how banks must value their debt.
Banks can possibly post gains if the value of their debt falls, as theoretically become cheaper for the bank to repurchase that debt.
This rule also says that when a bank's debt increases, it must take a write-down because it would theoretically have to pay more to buy back its own debt on the open market.
In advance of the cuts, the value of UBS's stock rose 7.3 percent to close at 13.12 Swiss francs on the Zurich exchange.
One of the banks hardest hit during the global financial crisis, UBS lost $42 billion during the financial crisis and had to be bailed out by the Swiss government.
Then in 2011 it lost a further $2.3 billion due to the activities of Kweku Adoboli, an alleged rogue trader.

Pepsi announced it will stop using brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in some Gatorade flavors.
Gatorade-maker Pepsi will stop using brominated vegetable oil to make the sports drink in response to consumer concerns, the company announced today.
The controversial ingredient is banned in Japan and the European Union and is marketed as a flame retardant elsewhere, The Associated Press said.
Company spokeswoman Molly Carter said PepsiCo started "hearing rumblings" a year ago about BVO.
The decision didn't come in reaction to a petition started by Sarah Kavanagh of Hattiesburg, Miss., at Change.org.
More than 200,000 people have signed the petition asking Pepsi to stop using BVO through a petition called "Gatorade: Don't put flame retardant chemicals in sports drinks."
BVO is an emulsifier used to distribute flavor throughout a beverage.
More from GlobalPost: Coke, Pepsi change formulas to avoid cancer designation
On its website, Pepsi says it uses very little BVO in some flavors of Gatorade.
"Brominated vegetable oil, also known as BVO, is widely used by beverage makers to help keep flavoring oils well-blended," the site says. "Since oil does not mix well with water, emulsifiers help dissolve and keep the flavor oils evenly distributed throughout the beverage."
Scientific American reported that soda makers use BVO in about 10 percent of their products.
Research points to mass consumption leading to possible side effects such as skin lesions, memory loss and nerve disorders. Others point to reproductive issues and behavioral problems.
Scientists say that while BVO isn't banned in the US, acceptable limits are based on "scarce" scientific data.

Look Twice
27 Sep 2012
From the earliest Dublin photo shoots to the remotest desert and the stadiums of U2360, the camera has been stealing images of U2 for thirty five years. Some of the best - and rarest - are hanging in our U2.com photo galleries.
Take a

Beneath a desert sky
The photos for "The Joshua Tree" album cover still mean much to me, because those songs made me fall in love with U2 23 years ago. When I took my vinyl record out of the sleeve in order to put it on my turntable I often looked at the black and white photograph, amazed by its simplicity and ingenuity. This image took me to "God´s Country" a mystical place, a wide open terrain of desert landscapes I have never seen before. This shot gave me the first impression of the bandmembers´look-four earnest young men exploring their musical roots, surrounded by a dramatic panorama of mountains. The more I listened to the music the more I realised the deeper meaning behind that image, with a lonesome Joshua Tree symbolizing life under hard conditions, growing high despite an arid ground. This timeless photograph just perfectly relates to the emotional depth and intensity of those epic pieces.

The world knows U2
The fascinating thing about U2 is the fact that to this day I still have to meet one person that does not like their music. It seems like wherever I go I hear U2 on the radio or catch someone listening to them on the mp3 player. When talking to people about music it never takes long for one to mention U2. The music, the concerts and the causes the band stands for - all that makes up U2. Being a fan of the band since seeing them in August of 1983 at the Rockpalast festival at the Loreley I am glad that I stayed on for the ride the band took. They kept developing and reinventing their sound - another fact that separates them from most other bands. My thanks to Larry for getting them together, to Adam for keeping the rhythm going, to Edge for being restless in finding the perfect guitar sound, and to Bono for constantly pushing whats on his mind! THANKS U2!

Lifetime doing
What awesome is as teenage to have a good crazy idea, to have friends who share it, that support you, that work hard for and to persevere it to achieve that dream of a lifetime doing, doing what you love most. Remarkable BAND is U2 !
05 October, 2012
A person who inspired me
I'm writing on behalf of my sister .She is a U2 fan since the begging of the band; when here in Brazil she had only one TV channel where she could watch every Saturday a U2 clip. She used to wait the all week to watch a single clip. This was back in 1985, I was born in June/1985. U2 was becoming more famous and she could watch more frequently the clips on the tv and listen to the music in the radio. In 1998 she had the opportunity of her life to watch for the first time a U2 Concert. It was PopMart tour. By this time I was 13 years old and I started to like U2 ( because of her). I was growing up listening to her dreams to go one day to Dublin to see the city where U2 was born. In 2006 I spent 14 hours in the line to by the tickets to U2 concert. We went together in the 2 concerts in Sao Paulo. For the first time I saw my sister so so happy. She really loved U2. In 2011 we had another opportunity to watch U2. This time I've been to 2 concerts and she had been to 1. Again she was feeling incredible happy to be there. This was in April. 3 moths later I moved to London to study and she went to visit me in April; we spent 3 weeks together and finally she realized her dream to visit Dublin. We had 4 nights going to pub after pub and asking them to play U2 songs. She really had a good time. 1 week after she went Back to Brazil and she passed away. So, that's why I think U2 is a memory of my sister to me. She was increadibly crazy by them and she knew every song. So, now every time I hear a U2 song I remenber a moment of her....

An other group
The War Tour, Red Rocks. This is the year of my birth. During my first cry they were already singing on a stage ! When I look back this red photo with the public under the rain, I can't realize this is the same band I saw during the 360 tour. What a chance for me to meet them for real. All this time, a life ! And U2 is still here, the same and so different.
04 October, 2012
When I was 12 years, I was in the house of a friend. We played football in the garden and then went inside, his dad was watching an concert from the vertigo tour. It was the first i heard Bono's voice, adam's bass, edge's guitar, and larry's drum. I was struck, I had never seen a band with such a performance. I asked the DVD and watched it home on the computer, I was just awestruck. When I look at the pictures from the vertigo tour, it remembers me in a great way at the the discovery of U2. Now i've watched all your pictures, listened all you music and I loved it. You started such a long time go, but i still have the feeling I have lived all trough by the pictures and music. Now I can't stop listening to you guys and because of the edge and his wonderful tunes, I try to play guitar.

Torhout/Werchter 1982
U2 played at the festival ground of Torhout the first day. Bono did it so loud that the second day he lost his voice for the second show in werchter. There is a legent in belgium that another singer (walter grootaers) of "de kreuners" give him something to drink so he could preform that day. Also in that weekend bono drunk a little to much backstage with Jim Kerr. that was on belgium national television. But the shows were perfect!!!
02 October, 2012
Oh, those wonderful days!!!
Looking thru I always come back to the third from the last photo in the early days gallery ( the drinkers). Can't look at it without thinking of the rebellious, breaking out time in a teenager's life. That photo could easily have been taken of our "guys". I feel those feelings of the GLORY days come bubbling back up. Wonderful, intense feelings of love, independence, hope and the future unfolding. Can't go a single day without relating to a song from U2. They have and always will be my touch stone. My husband laughs when I constantly quote their lyrics as if they were prayers. When I play their music or hear them (no matter where-even in a store) I'll whisper "my guys". Something inside, so intimate. I'll love them forever for bringing such intensity to every raw emotion a human spirit can experience!! Thanks boys:)
29 September, 2012
Throught a pint....
My favorite is the 9th of "The Joshua Tree in 1987" album. It's fun cause it looks like we're looking them throught a pint of Guinness in the drinking!!! And apparently this pint belongs to Bono ;o)

Tribute to Ronnie Drew Photos
The photos of the tribute performance on the Late Late show celebrating the musician Ronnie Drew, reminded me of what not initially attracted me to U2, but what made me fall in love with them. Friendship, loyalty, respect, generosity, love of music, poetry and tradition, these are just a few of the qualities that make U2 such an important part of not only my life, but the lives of people all over the world. Thank you, U2.

Desert Sky
The cover photo of The Joshua Tree is definitely The essence of U2, the identity of the band, anywhere that you certainly will know who are in this picture, even if the band does not know the background. Among so many photos, the real face of U2 is not in images, is marked in the hearts of all the people who listen to the sound of four boys from Dublin penetrating the whole spirit of true rock.

In the first one picture (from below to up) the mood is very sci-fi... even, there was George Lucas in the corner. They look happy and that's the secret of their succes. They still are those 4 boys from Dublin trying to rock the world!!!

Meeting you!
For a girl who got to know you in Beautiful Day and who has been a true fan since 2010 it has been awesome to discover them in their beginnings!!! Great photos, strange look --actually I was born in 1978 so it makes me have a good laugh every time I see them wearing those clothes. A fan of the black and white photos, for me they look great. My favourite, I guess all of them, they show a special moment in their careers and a little bit of their music and songs, so, it's good to have somewhere where to see these rarities. Obviously some of them appear in U2 by U2 and in Anton's book so, I'm happy I have them--you--at home...
27 September, 2012
those wonderful desert pictures during JT made me really want to go to US.. This summer I finally got there and I felt U2 in a way. My favourite band came even closer and it was wonderful! I took a visit in the Joshua Tree National Park and tried to find that epic tree. Couldn't find it though but anyway. Me, as a 16 year old, being in that park gave me such an amazing feeling. The band was there, so many years ago, amazed, just like me about the beautiful nature. One of the most special moments in my life, couldn't let go of the Joshua Tree after it and during the long drives on the empty highways I was playing the album over and over again! Thanks U2!

IBM To Modernize Department Of Veteran Affairs Human Resources Technology
WASHINGTON, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced it has been awarded a 10 year $123 million contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to replace the agency's 50 year old legacy Human Resources (HR) application with a new system delivered in a software-as-a-service model.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
In a first-of-its-kind private sector HR technology solution for the U.S. Federal Government, IBM has been selected as the HR Line of Business (LOB) Shared Services Center (SSC) provider for the VA. IBM will build, operate and maintain a new Human Resources system to be deployed across the enterprise delivering a standardized and interoperable human resources experience. The new HR system will allow the VA to better manage its workforce and will provide enhancements such as new self-service options for VA managers and employees. The VA expects to reduce costs by integrating all HR systems and related processes from its geographically dispersed operational locations.
"IBM is proud to partner with the Department of Veterans Affairs to support its critical mission of helping veterans," said Anne Altman, General Manager, IBM US Federal. "The VA's Human Resources system will provide a more flexible, stable, and capable system to meet the evolving needs of the agency and its thousands of employees. The VA's greatest asset is its people, and this new HR system will bolster the agency's mission to provide care and benefits for our nation's veterans and their families."
IBM expects the new HR system for the more than 300,000 VA employees to be implemented by the end of 2015. A phased deployment strategy will be initiated in January 2014 after successful completion of design, development, and testing of the new HR application in 2013. IBM will provide implementation services, as well as management and maintenance services for the new system over the course of the contract. IBM has assembled a team of eleven market-leading firms who have extensive, credible experience delivering Federal solutions. IBM's proven VA HR solution is built using Oracle PeopleSoft, Monster Government Solutions and IBM Software products including IBM Rational, IBM InfoSphere, and IBM Tivoli.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
