We have an 8:40 CP ADR on 12/16...then Dec hours came out and added MK EMH for 8 am. The whole point was to get in prior to park opening for some good shots. I don't suppose they will let us in before 8 for an 8:40? I've been stalking ADR's, but nada. Frustrating...
We had an 8:20 adr and same thing, EMH changed to that day. We got there way early and so many people there already. Not a chance. By the time we got through bag check, I only brought camera bag, they would not let anyone in. We stood behind a ton of people. Once we got in, everyone dispersed though and we still got some nice shots. But it wasn't as empty as I wished it had been.
No chance of getting in before 8am with an 8:40 ADR. This happened to us last year and we cancelled the ADR. We were only doing it for the pic, not the food. We bought the kids the Cinderella Castle playset instead, and still saved $40.
Question for my own schedule knowledge.. I don't have 16th as emh day for MK? Curious if my calendar is wrong?? Did you just get this off disney website? Thanks
I'm experiencing the same frustration. We have an ADR for the Kona Cafe at 8:05 am. The Magic Kingdom WAS opening at 9:00 that day. Now it opens at 8:00. I haven't even looked for an earlier time, as my family would rebel against me if I tried to wake them up even earlier for breakfast. I'm just hoping the park won't be too busy by the time we arrive.

And why would he? As assistant product manager at the Office of the Project Manager Defense Department Biometrics' Tactical Biometric Systems organization, Schliesske is at the helm of two of the leading biometrics systems in the Central Command's dedicated area of responsibility. He helps develop technology that protects combat personnel on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The biometric devices the organization supplies for enrolling local residents who work at U.S. bases can mean the difference between a secure base environment and a potential disaster.
"These devices are a means of providing security to our troops," Schliesske said. "With biometrics, we can enroll individuals at the base and check against known repositories, like an Iraqi database. And we can do things like lift prints from remnants of improvised explosive devices and add [them] to the database [for reference] as well."
After deciding to make the jump from private-sector IT to government work, Schliesske enrolled in the Army Knowledge Leaders program and served a two-year internship that took him around the United States and the world.
Colleagues say that diverse exposure helped groom Schliesske into a Rising Star.
"Knowing the technology is a must, but Harold grasps the political and interpersonal nuances," said Gary Winkler, program executive officer for enterprise information systems, the umbrella organization under which Schliesske's office falls. "He's got a great handle on the technology but goes far beyond that. He's been a high performer since I've known him as an intern. He's head and shoulders above the rest."
Winkler also noted that Schliesske's work has been integral to the thriving partnership between Project Manager DOD Biometrics and other federal agencies. "That partnership is one of our biggest successes," he said. "It's the best example of interagency cooperation."
Schliesske said interagency communication is one of his biggest challenges. "The government is so big, and there are so many players, stakeholders and interests involved," he said. "I spend a lot of time getting viewpoints and then finding the best solutions."
For Schliesske, motivation lies within the bigger picture. "I want to make a difference on as big a scale as possible and deliver a product the warfighter needs. Whatever side you're on politically, you're helping a soldier in the field who already has a tough job."
As it turns out, that motivation is right on target. "Harold is truly deserving of this award," said Lee Harvey, deputy program executive officer for enterprise information systems. "His tireless dedication to the DOD biometrics program has been instrumental in keeping the program on track — ensuring warfighters continue to be as safe as possible while in harm's way."
Schliesske said he plans to stay in government as he moves forward in his career, and whatever lies ahead, he hopes to continue to find ways to support DOD and the troops.
"I just get a sense of satisfaction in getting people with malicious intent off the street," he said.

Time-domain transillumination of biological tissues with terahertz pulses
Optics Letters, Vol. 25, Issue 4, pp. 242-244 (2000)
Acrobat PDF (996 KB)
We present time-domain transmission imaging of an opaque structure in pork-fat tissue obtained with a terahertz (THz) field sampling technique. Compared with imaging with near-infrared pulses, the terahertz sampling technique shows significantly enhanced contrast, as a result of low scattering. For enhanced spatial resolution, we show mid-infrared THz imaging of onion cells. Water absorption of THz pulse in muscle tissues is discussed.

Last month, House Republicans crisscrossed the state on our Building a Better Colorado Tour. On it, we met with farmers and ranchers, ski industry representatives, small business owners and Coloradans from around the state to further our efforts to create jobs and get our economy back on track. On this tour, we saw firsthand how Republican policies are allowing Coloradans to thrive. In Greeley, we met with farmers and ranchers who have benefited from the repeal of the "ag tax," an unconstitutional tax that Democrats placed on the agriculture industry in 2010. |

Counter-Immune Mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is unusual in its ability to persist in the lungs of infected humans for many years, despite triggering a robust immune response. This researcher's lab seeks to identify and characterize factors that Mtb requires for evasion of host adaptive immunity and persistence. They use a combination of bacterial genetics and the mouse infection model to identify these "counter-immune" factors. The laboratory is currently focused on characterization of an Mtb signal transduction system, Pst/SenX3-RegX3, which regulates gene expression in response to phosphate availability. Mtb mutants that lack components of this system are specifically sensitive to host adaptive immunity and fail to persist in the lungs of mice. The researcher aims to identify the genes controlled by this system that directly contribute to avoidance of host immune responses. Knowledge of these interactions between host and pathogen may contribute to vaccine design, as well as provide novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The researcher is using software available through MSI that is essential for this work.

Friday August 6, 2010
By LEONG HUNG YEE
AirAsia Bhd's stock was one of the flavours of the day yesterday, buoyed by its decision to defer delivery of seven aircraft, a move deemed favourable by analysts.
Analysts believed the delivery deferment would allow the budget carrier to optimise its fleet capacity while reducing capital expenditure and net gearing. As at March 31, AirAsia's net gearing stood at 2.25 times.
Shares in the carrier jumped to more than a 30-month high yesterday, appreciating 15 sen, or 10%, to RM1.65. It was also one of top gainers and the third most active counter with 33.5 million shares traded.
"Our share price is beginning to show its true potential but, once people start analysing properly after the second quarter, they will see even more value," group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Tony Fernandes said in his Twitter post yesterday.
On Wednesday, AirAsia announced that it had deferred the delivery of seven Airbus A320s to 2015 from the original delivery period next year as it expected infrastructural constraints with the current airport facilities.
The seven planes are now due for delivery from April to November 2015 from the original March to October 2011.
AirAsia said slowing the deliveries would allow it to optimise its fleet and avoid costs associated with leaving the aircraft idle or underutilised due to infrastructural limitations.
Analysts said AirAsia might have doubts that the new low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) would be completed on schedule, hence the deferment. They said more importantly, AirAsia's aircraft deferral would not involve any penalty.
While some analysts agreed with the company's reasons to defer given the uncertainties over completion of the new LCCT, they said the deferment might allow the market to absorb the available capacity.
"AirAsia has been very aggressive with the latest route to Seoul, South Korea. Deferring the aircraft will let the market absorb the capacity available first," an analyst said.
ECM Libra Investment Research said based on its assumptions, earnings impact to AirAsia (which does not equity account its associates) was likely to be minimal.
"We estimate that the deferment will result in a 2.2% increase in FY11 (financial year ending Dec 31, 2011) earnings per share as lower interest expense and depreciation outweighs capacity cutbacks. However, FY12 earnings per share will be reduced by 3.6%," it said.
AirAsia is expected to release its second quarter results on Aug 18.
The International Air Transport Association expects global airlines to post a profit of US$2.5bil in 2010 from a loss of US$2.3bil last year and say Asian carriers should do well.
"Although the fleet expansion will be relatively less aggressive for FY11, AirAsia could benefit from lower operating and fuel costs from this deferment and perhaps this will allow the group's internal restructuring, such as listing of its associates, and solve the overhang issues in its balance sheet," Kenanga Research said.
It added that with the deferment, the earnings growth for FY11 would depend on yield play and further cost efficiency on the back of growing demand for low-cost carriers in the improving airline industry.

The Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany KG KT GCSI GCMG GCStJ (Leopold George Duncan Albert; 7 April 1853 – 28 March 1884) was the eighth child and fourth son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Leopold was later created Duke of Albany, Earl of Clarence, and Baron Arklow. He had haemophilia, which led to his death at the age of 30.
Leopold was born on 7 April 1853 at Buckingham Palace, London. During labour, Queen Victoria chose to use chloroform and thus sanctioned the use of anesthesia in childbirth, recently developed by Professor James Young Simpson. The chloroform was administered by Dr. John Snow.[1] As a son of the British sovereign, the newborn was styled His Royal Highness The Prince Leopold at birth. His parents named him Leopold after his grand-uncle, King Leopold I of Belgium.
He was baptised in the Private Chapel of Buckingham Palace on 28 June 1853 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Bird Sumner. His godparents were his first cousin once removed, King George V of Hanover; his fourth cousin once removed, Princess William of Prussia; his first cousin once removed, Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge; and his maternal uncle by marriage, Prince Ernst of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
Leopold inherited the disease haemophilia from his mother, Queen Victoria, and was a delicate child. There was speculation during his life that Leopold also suffered mildly from epilepsy,[2] like his grand-nephew Prince John of the United Kingdom.
The Prince's intellectual abilities were evident as a boy; Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and his friend, philosopher Dr James Martineau, were familiar with the Queen's children and had noted that Leopold, who had often "conversed with the eminent Dr. Martineau, was considered to be a young man of a very thoughtful mind, high aims, and quite remarkable acquirements".[3]
In 1872, Prince Leopold entered Christ Church at Oxford University where he studied a variety of subjects and became president of the Oxford University Chess Club. He left the university with an honorary doctorate in civil law (DCL) in 1876. Prince Leopold travelled in Europe. In 1880, he toured Canada and the United States with his sister, Princess Louise, whose husband John Campbell, Marquess of Lorne was the Governor General of Canada. He was a prominent chess patron, and the London 1883 chess tournament was held under his patronage.[4] Incapable of pursuing a military career because of his illness, Prince Leopold instead became a patron of the arts and literature, and served as an unofficial secretary to his mother. "Leopold was the favourite son, and through him her relations with the Government of the day were usually kept up."[5] Later he pursued vice-regal appointments in both Canada and Australia, but was rejected in part due to his health problems.
Despite his inability (through illness) to pursue an active military role, he had an honorary association with the 72nd Regiment, Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders, and from 1881 served as the first Colonel-in-Chief of the Seaforth Highlanders, when that regiment was formed through the merger of the 72nd regiment with the 78th (Highlanders) Regiment of Foot.[6] A portrait of Prince Leopold in military uniform is held in the Royal Collection.[7] The Seaforth Highlanders paraded at Prince Leopold's funeral, a fact recorded by William McGonagall in his poem "The Death of Prince Leopold".[8]
Prince Leopold was an active Freemason, being initiated in the Apollo University Lodge, Oxford, whilst resident at Christ Church. He was proposed for membership by his brother, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales,[9] who was at the time the Worshipful Master of the Lodge,[10] and was initiated in a joint ceremony with Robert Hawthorne Collins, his friend and tutor, who later became Comptroller of his Household.[11] He served as Master of the Lodge from 1876-1877, and was later the Provincial Grand Master for Oxfordshire, still holding that office at the time of his death.[12]
Prince Leopold was created Duke of Albany, Earl of Clarence and Baron Arklow on 24 May 1881.[13]
Prince Leopold, stifled by the desire of his mother, Queen Victoria, to keep him at home, saw marriage as his only hope of independence. Due to his haemophilia, he had difficulty finding a wife. Heiress Daisy Maynard was one of the women he considered as a possible bride. He was acquainted with Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford for whom Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and was godfather of Alice's second son, who was named for him. It has been suggested that he considered marrying her, though others suggest that he preferred her sister Edith (for whom he later served as pall-bearer on 30 June 1876).[14]
Leopold also considered his second cousin Princess Frederica of Hanover for a bride; they instead became lifelong friends and confidantes.[15] Other aristocatic women he pursued included Victoria of Baden and Princess Karoline Mathilde of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg.[15]
After rejection from these women, Victoria stepped in to bar what she saw as unsuitable possibilities. Insisting that the children of British monarchs should marry into other reigning Protestant families, Victoria suggested a meeting with Princess Helene Friederike, the daughter of Georg Viktor, reigning Prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont. On 27 April 1882, Leopold and Helena were married, at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Leopold and Helena enjoyed a happy (although brief) marriage. In 1883, Leopold became a father when his wife gave birth to a daughter, Alice. He died shortly before the birth of his son, Charles Edward.
Prince Leopold had haemophilia, diagnosed in childhood and in early years had various physicians in permanent attendance, including Arnold Royle [16] and John Wickham Legg. In February 1884, Leopold went to Cannes on doctor's orders: joint pain is a common symptom of haemophilia and the winter climate in England was always difficult for him. His wife, pregnant at the time, stayed at home but urged him to go. On 27 March, at his Cannes residence, the 'Villa Nevada', he slipped and fell, injuring his knee and hitting his head. He died in the early hours of the next morning, apparently from a cerebral haemorrhage. He was buried in the Albert Memorial Chapel at Windsor. The court observed official mourning from 30 March 1884 until 11 May 1884.[17] His posthumous son, Prince Charles Edward, succeeded him as 2nd Duke of Albany upon birth four months later.
Having died six years after his older sister Alice, he was the second of Queen Victoria's children to die. His mother outlived him by seventeen years, by which time she had outlived a third child, Alfred.[18]
In 1900, Charles Edward succeeded his uncle Alfred as Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
His passing was lamented by the Scottish "poet and tragedian" William McGonagall in the poem "The Death of Prince Leopold".
Through Charles Edward, Leopold is the great-grandfather of Carl XVI Gustaf, the current King of Sweden.
The haemophilia gene is carried on the X chromosome, and is normally passed through female descent, as in the past few haemophiliac men survived to beget children. Any daughter of a haemophiliac is a carrier of the gene. Leopold's daughter Alice inherited the haemophilia gene, and passed it to her son Rupert.[19]
In 1856, at the age of three, Prince Leopold was granted a personal coat of arms — the arms of the kingdom, with an inescutcheon of the shield of Saxony (representing his father), and all differenced by a label argent of three points, the first and third bearing hearts gules, and the second a cross gules.[22]
In the romantic comedy film, Kate & Leopold, the latter is a British Duke who goes to New York. He also holds the title Duke of Albany. However, his family surname is Mountbatten, a surname which only entered the royal family through the husband of the present queen. However, it was first borne by Leopold's niece (ditto). The Leopold character is credited with having invented the passenger lift, and having a butler called Otis. Leopold is also frequently mentioned in stories based on Alice in Wonderland, such as the Looking Glass Wars trilogy.

Zara Phillips Talks Honeymoon, Mike Tindall Wedding
Zara Phillips Debuts Her Designs and Talks About Her Royal Wedding
Zara Phillips was back to work yesterday, showing off the children's equestrian clothes she's designed under the label ZP 176 Kids. She joined two youngsters in the town of Upper Slaughter, England, to debut the designs and speak about her new life as a married woman! Zara married Mike Tindall Saturday in Edinburgh, Scotland, surrounded by her royal relatives and his family. Mike was also back to work this week, joining his teammates on the English rugby team for a training session Monday and putting on his white jersey yesterday for a press event in the town of Bagshot. Zara spoke about their ceremony during her conference yesterday, touching on rumors her cousin Prince William did karaoke at the reception, whether she'll take Mike's name, and how the day went as a whole. Zara said:
- On her wedding day: "The day was amazing and to have all of your friends there in one place, for both of us, was the best part of it . . . Unfortunately both of us do have quite busy lives so it's going to have to wait a bit for a honeymoon, but it is quite nice to go back to work as well. We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep. It's back to work and that's what we do."
- On Prince William doing karaoke: "There was no karaoke. I think there was assistance with the band, but that was about it."
- On taking Mike's last name: "I'm very much Mrs. Tindall and will be privately and I'm sure publicly as well, but just for professional and sponsors I'm going to keep Phillips as well — I'll keep both of them!"

We use an HP LaserJet 500 m551 color printer at my office and it takes WAY too long for photo images to print. When printing photo images (jpg) from a Mac OS 10.7, there is no option to print a "draft" or low resolution copy. The only option is a 1200 dpi or 3600 which takes several minutes. I've looked into the printer setting options and only find paper quality, color management which are not helpful for this purpose.
We do need the prints to be full page in color on plain 8.5" x11" page, so choosing a grayscale or black & white version only is not helpful. We need to print these quickly so our staff can view them laid out on tables for selection purposes.
All Apple software is up to date, and the HP printer driver is up to date too. Most of the photo files are large - 2MB or more - to allow for high quality printing on a commercial press when selected for our magazine.
When I print the same photo from a PC, I have a draft version option and printing begins immediately.
I have been told by HP phone support that this is a limitation of the application or program and not the printer. This makes sense (iPhoto on the Mac vs Windows Live Photo on the PC), however, our previous HP LaserJet printer offered a draft print option within iPhoto which suggests a driver limitation to me.
We are going to replace the printer with one that allows faster printing from the Mac unless this can be resolved. Help is appreciated and/or a recommended printer for the Mac.
P.S. This thread has been moved from Laserjet to Macintosh-Compatible Products. - Hp Forum Moderator

Recently, I have been playing Master Yi a lot on Dominion. I have noticed that GP is one of the hardest champions for me to counter. What items should I buy to remedy this? Just thornmail or something else? And when should I fit it in to my current item build (see below) (feel free to criticize)? Starting Items
Attack Speed Boots
Vampiric scepter/dagger
Zeal --> Phantom Dancer
Sanguine Blade
maybe another Phantom Dancer / whatever I feel like at the moment

How is he giving you problems? theres nothing special about him and he is not that great either
Atma's. A little bit of armor goes a long way.
Don't let him 1shot you and get a bit of hp Fozen mallet + ratmas or Odyn's Veil + atmas (if rest of his team is AP heavy).
thornmail if hes giving you that much trouble. works on his q too.
wardens would work best. the secondary effect would make it hard for him to run after he hits you. finishing it would be worth it too extra hp and a clickable aoe slow.

AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
The San Francisco Giants already own the best record in baseball, and one of the major's best pitching staffs.
Now, they're getting Matt Cain back.Cain returns from his second stint on the disabled list Friday night, when the Giants attempt to avoid their longest home losing streak to the New York Mets.San Francisco (39-21) is on the verge of becoming the first team to reach 40 wins, and much of that success can be traced to a 3.05 ERA that ranks third in baseball.The rotation has been particularly impressive with a 2.46 ERA over the last 15 games, a stretch that started with Cain (1-3, 3.66 ERA) suffering a strained right hamstring in a 5-1 win at Colorado on May 21. He tossed three no-hit innings before exiting.Cain, a three-time All-Star, was on the DL last month with a lacerated right index finger.He seemed ready to return from his latest injury last Friday, but manager Bruce Bochy opted to play it safe and instead put him on the DL on May 31 retroactive to May 22.Cain will now face the Mets at home for the first time since getting a career-low two outs while allowing three runs in a 7-2 defeat at home July 10.That defeat was also the Giants' fifth straight to the Mets at AT&T Park. They've never endured a longer slide at home to New York, and their chances of that happening seem unlikely since they're 19-9 there this season while winning six of their last seven.San Francisco opens this 10-game homestand after capping a 5-2 trip with Thursday's 6-1 defeat of Cincinnati."We're pretty consistent," shortstop Brandon Crawford told the team's official website. "It doesn't matter where we're playing right now."Crawford had a three-run homer Thursday after going 4 for 31 over the previous 10 games. He's 9 for 21 in his past five versus New York (28-32).The Mets are looking to show some improvement at the plate after going 4 for 30 with runners in scoring position while being swept in a three-game series by the Chicago Cubs. They were 2 for 13 in Thursday's 7-4 loss in the series finale.Turning to Jonathon Niese (3-3, 2.69) could at least help on the mound. The left-hander is 1-0 with a 3.05 ERA over his last three games -- all New York wins -- and his latest may have been his most efficient performance of the season.Niese yielded two runs and scattered eight hits while throwing only 91 pitches in eight innings of a 4-3 win in 11 at Philadelphia on Sunday."It's one of those things where you've got to get up and you've got to keep grinding it out," Niese told the team's official website. "You've just got to stay mentally tough, (which) is the biggest thing."Niese may heed his own words against the Giants since he owns a 2.33 ERA in four starts, but is just 1-2 since he's been backed by five total runs.He didn't need much help in his last visit to San Francisco on Aug. 1, 2012, allowing one run and three hits in seven innings of a 2-1 victory."He's just a great pitcher," Giants right fielder Hunter Pence said. "He has a good fastball, a good curve, a good changeup. He just has good stuff."Pence is 3 for 26 with seven strikeouts against Niese.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

RIM, an infrastructure vendor?
The most surprising revelation from Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) today was not that it's bid for Nortel Networks' wireless assets was blocked, but that it was interested in those assets in the first place. RIM apparently isn't content with its�sizable�share�of the high-end wireless handset market anymore. It wants to be a wireless infrastructure vendor. more

The aim of this secondary analysis was to evaluate current microbiological approaches, microbiology, and antibiotic therapy in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in clinical practice and to compare them with current international guidelines.
A total of 362 patients with suspected CAP were enrolled in 14 European centers in a prospective multicenter study.
A total of 279 inpatients (CAP, n = 222; AECOPD, n = 57) were evaluated. A total of 83 (37 %) CAP patients and 25 (44 %) AECOPD patients did not undergo any microbiological tests. In patients with CAP/AECOPD, blood culture was performed in 109 (49 %)/16 (28.1 %), urinary antigen tests for Legionella pneumophila in 67 (30 %)/9 (16 %), and sputum investigation in 55 (25 %)/17 (30 %), respectively. The most frequent pathogens in CAP were Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, L. pneumophila, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter cloacae; in AECOPD they were Escherichia coli, Haemophilus haemolyticus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. All CAP patients (mean = 11.1 days) and 35 (61.4 %) of AECOPD patients (mean = 8.9 days) received antibiotics. CAP patients were given mostly aminopenicillin with β-lactamase inhibitors and AECOPD patients were given mostly cephalosporins.
Pathogens isolated in CAP and AECOPD and the antibiotic therapy used are in good accordance with the guidelines. Blood culture, recommended for all CAP patients, was performed in only 50 % of the cases and antibiotic therapy lasted longer than the suggested 5–7 days. Therefore, international guidelines regarding performance of blood culture and duration of antibiotic therapy should be adopted more often. This duration was independent of the number of isolated pathogens and number of symptoms on admission. Therefore, the question arises as to whether microbiological data are necessary only for patients who are resistant to initial therapy.

New X-ray tech provides clear view of soft tissues
X-ray machines are all large devices that can only image hard structures such as bone, unless a contrast-enhancing solution such as barium is present in the patient ... right? Well, no, not all of them. A new system developed by researchers at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital is small enough to be considered portable, doesn't expose patients to as much radiation, and can image soft tissues in minute detail.

MIT researchers have developed a new time-of-flight (TOF) 3D "nano-camera" with the ability to work with translucent objects, motion, fog, rain, and other factors in the environment that totally confuse previous TOF cameras, such as Microsoft's second-gen Kinect. The MIT Media Lab team has added these new capabilities by introducing additional information into the illuminating light beam. The resulting camera costs less than US$500 in parts. Read More
Eyes-On Glasses let nurses see patients' veins through their skin

"Gold leaf" trees discovered in the Australian outback
Scientists from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation have discovered that eucalyptus trees in the Australian outback are drawing up gold particles from deep underground through their root system and depositing the precious metal in their leaves and branches. Rather than being a new source of "gold leaf," the discovery could provide a cheaper, more environmentally friendly way to uncover valuable gold ore deposits. Read More
Neutrons have a set of unique properties that make them better suited than light, electrons, or x-rays for looking at the physics and chemistry going on inside an object.

A team of engineers at UCLA has created a 3D-printed attachment that enables smartphone cameras to image particles as small as 90 nanometers. This marks the first time that single nanoparticles and viruses have been detected using a cellphone-based imaging system. Read More
Tiny round wide-angle lens outperforms its bigger brothers
When it comes to capturing visual information in photographs, you typically have two choices – use a wide-angle lens to capture as many parts of a scene as possible, or use a close-up lens to better capture the details of one of those parts. However, with a new camera system developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego, you can do both at once. What's more, the lens used in this system is just one-tenth the volume of a conventional wide-angle lens. Read More
Astronomers have developed a new visible-light adaptive optics (AO) system for the 6.5 meter diameter Magellan-Clay telescope in Chile's Atacama desert. The new AO system replaces the secondary mirror of the telescope with a thin adaptive mirror that can be deformed by its 585 mechanical actuators at a rate of more than 1000 times a second to correct for the image smearing effects of atmospheric turbulence. The result is the sharpest astronomical images ever produced – more than twice as sharp as can be achieved by the Hubble space telescope viewing objects through the vacuum of space. Read More
Slated for completion by 2020, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will combine seven of the largest and most precisely built telescope mirrors, to offer image resolutions 10 times greater than Hubble at around one third of the cost. The telescope will be used to study the early universe and answer open questions on dark matter, supermassive black holes, and the nature of planets beyond our solar system. Read More

Don't ditch NBN, says NSW minister
PUBLISHED: 21 Jul 2010 13:29:30 | UPDATED: 21 Jul 2010 13:29:30PRINT EDITION: 21 Jul 2010
The National Broadband Network (NBN) is the single most important infrastructure development in regional NSW for a generation, state Rural Affairs Minister Steve Whan says.
Scrapping the network, as proposed by the federal coalition, would deal a huge blow to rural towns and cities, he said.
The federal government's NBN proposals would provide a "quantum leap" in the ability of businesses to establish themselves in rural communities, Mr Whan said.
"I'm quite shocked by the promise to ditch the NBN," he told reporters outside the NSW Farmers Association annual conference in Sydney on Wednesday.
"Broadband, the optic fibre to regional towns and cities, is probably the single most important infrastructure improvement that our regional towns and cities will see in our lifetimes."
In his speech to conference delegates, Mr Whan said: "Any decision to ditch the NBN should be seen, and will be, as a huge blow to regional NSW and the potential of regional communities for economic development."
Commenting on a report published on Tuesday by Engineers Australia, which gave a scathing assessment of infrastructure in NSW, Mr Whan said there was no doubt more investment was needed in traditional and more modern infrastructure types.
But he hinted that the needed works might require higher taxes.
"We live in a country which enjoys fairly low taxes," he said.
"People may eventually have to make the decision as to, do they want bigger investment ... how do they want to pay for it?"

Young people being trained to become peer educators
UNICEF and some NGOs training young peopleProject initiated in Bangalore, Mysore, Raichur, Dharwad, Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districtsThe aim is to facilitate a discussion on HIV/AIDS
BANGALORE: To create more awareness on HIV/AIDS, especially among the youth, UNICEF, in association with voluntary organisations, is training some young people to become peer educators.
The project, which has been initiated in the districts of Bangalore, Mysore, Raichur, Dharwad, Udupi and Mangalore, aims to facilitate a discussion on HIV/AIDS. The peer educators will talk to other youth on several issues of reproductive health and quality of life. "These projects are about improving quality of life, not only about sex education," said Michel Saint-Lot, State Representative, UNICEF office for Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. He was in Bangalore to take part in an event to mark Anti-Child Labour Day.
Mr. Saint-Lot said UNICEF was planning to focus on paediatric HIV/AIDS and the issue of children abandoned because of the disease. The estimated number of children (0-14 years) living with HIV/AIDS in India is 1,90,000. The estimated number of children orphaned by the disease is well over one crore, according to `The State of the World's Children 2006,' a report prepared by UNICEF. Throughout the State, there are 50,000 people affected with HIV/AIDS and five lakh estimated to be at high risk.
UNICEF, in partnership with an NGO, is developing the training material for the programme. The material will then be shared with five other NGOs working on the project. Work on the project has been going on for the past month.
Apart from creating peer educators, UNICEF is also planning to start health education for children from an earlier age. At present, lessons are being offered for 9th standard students, but from this year on it will be offered to students of standards seven and eight, Mr. Saint-Lot said.
UNICEF is also stepping up work in antenatal clinics. The work, which was being carried out at the district level, will now be taken to the taluk level as well.
According to the 2004 sentinel survey, the HIV prevalence levels ranged from 1.5 per cent among women at antenatal clinics to 21.6 per cent among female sex workers. The percentage of pregnant women who tested positive at antenatal clinics in Bangalore Rural district was 2.5 per cent and in 0.6 per cent in Bangalore Urban district.
UNICEF, along with the State Government, is organising an event in Bangalore on June 15, in which celebrities will participate, to create more awareness on the issue.
