Sixteen Craters on Mercury Have New Names
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a proposal from the MESSENGER Science Team to confer names on 16 impact craters on Mercury. The newly named craters were imaged during the mission's first two flybys of Mercury in January and October last year.
In the time since the flybys, MESSENGER team members have been analyzing the images and other data and preparing papers for publication in scientific journals. "Having names for these features will help to improve communication among those studying the planet's geology," says MESSENGER Participating Scientist
Dave Blewett
, of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, in Laurel, Md.
The IAU has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite nomenclature since its inception in 1919. In keeping with the established naming theme for craters on Mercury, all of the craters are named after famous deceased artists, musicians, or authors. The newly named craters include:
Abedin, after Zainul Abedin, a Bangladeshi painter and printmaker who first attracted attention with his sketches of the Bengal famine of 1943.
Benoit, after Rigaud Benoit, an early member of the Haïtian art movement known as Naive Art, so-called because of its members' limited formal training.
Berkel, after Sabri Berkel, a Turkish painter and printmaker.
Calvino, after Italo Calvino, an Italian writer of short stories and novels.
de Graft, after Joe Coleman De Graft, a prominent Ghanaian writer, playwright, and dramatist who was appointed the first director of the Ghana Drama Studio in 1962.
Derain, after Andre Derain, a French painter and co-founder of the Fauvism movement with Henri Matisse.
Eastman, after Charles A. Eastman, a Native American (Sioux) author, physician, and reformer who helped found the Boy Scouts of America.
Gibran, after Kahlil (Khalil) Gibran, a Lebanese American artist, poet, and writer, best known for his 1923 book
The Prophet
, a series of philosophical essays written in English prose.
Hemingway, after Ernest Hemingway, an American writer and journalist who had a significant influence on the development of 20th century fiction.
Hodgkins, after Frances Hodgkins, a New Zealander painter.
Izquierdo, after María Izquierdo, a Mexican painter who used the landscape and traditions of Mexico as inspirations for her artwork.
Kunisada, after Utagawa Kunisada, a Japanese woodblock printmaker considered the most popular, prolific, and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th century Japan.
Lange, after Dorothea Lange, an influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration.
Matabei, after Iwasa Matabei, a Japanese artist who specialized in genre scenes of historical events and illustrations of classical Chinese and Japanese literature, as well as portraits.
Munkácsy, after Mihály Munkácsy, a Hungarian painter who lived in Paris and earned international reputation with his genre pictures and large-scale biblical paintings.
To Ngoc Van, a master in Vietnamese oil painting whose painting style was influenced by the French impressionist, Gauguin.
According to Blewett, some of the names were suggested by MESSENGER team members, some were suggested by members of the public, and others were selected from a list of names that the IAU had previously approved for use on Mercury. "We were fortunate to have the assistance of
Kathryn Powell
, an APL student intern from River Hill High School in Clarksville, Md., in compiling this proposal," he says. "Kathryn, who will attend Rice University in the fall, helped to identify craters to receive names, selected names from the list, and double-checked the locations (latitude and longitude) and diameters of the craters. This attention to detail is important for obtaining speedy approval from the IAU."
"Exploring new landforms on Mercury is a special experience that should be shared by everyone on our planet," says MESSENGER Principal Investigator
Sean Solomon
of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. "It is highly appropriate that the naming of such features similarly acknowledges the contributions that individuals from all cultures have made to mankind's advances."
More information about the names of features on Mercury and the other objects in the Solar System can be found at the U.S. Geological Survey's Planetary Nomenclature Web site:
The addition of these craters, along with the 27 features previously named, brings the total to 43 newly named surface features on Mercury since MESSENGER's first flyby of the innermost planet. In September 2009 MESSENGER will complete a third and final flyby of Mercury before becoming the first spacecraft to orbit the planet, beginning in March 2011.
MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and after flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury will start a yearlong study of its target planet in March 2011. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
, leads the mission as Principal Investigator.

MLB News and Notes April 5
Monday MLB Plays
By Judd Hall
Monday is the start of the work week for many of us. It also marks the start of a new series for several teams in baseball as well.
There are nine tilts on the card for Monday, but we're going to focus one quality matchup in each league.
Boston Red Sox (D. Matsuzaka) at Detroit Tigers (J. Bonderman) – 7:05 pm EDT
Things looked as bad as they could for the Red Sox just a week ago. They were mired in a five-game slide and looked lost…especially at the plate.
Boston was just hitting .221 (37 of 167) during that recent losing streak. The funny thing is you can't really fault guys like David Ortiz (two of 13) or Manny Ramirez (nine of 19), who were reasonable at the plate. Granted Ortiz didn't get on base a lot, but he did belt a pair of homers that yielded four RBIs.
Now the BoSox are doing just fine, winning four of their last five matches and finally control the American League East. Well, controlling the division as well as you can with a two-game lead right now.
Detroit, on the other hand, is having a lot of fun cutting off its nose to spite its face. The Tigers look like they're about to break out, winning eight of 10 games as the calendar turned to May. Now the Motor City Kitties have been outscored 15-2 on the road against Minnesota.
Looking at that scoring differential you'd think it was because of the pitching, first and foremost. That would be wrong because Justin Verlander and Armando Galarraga pitched 13 innings, giving up just six earned runs. They were victims of bad defense and an offense that can only be found on the back of a milk carton.
Jeremy Bonderman has a 4-4 record against the Red Sox with a 4.35 ERA. And he won one of his two starts against them by pitching five innings and allowing just one earned run. You'd be wise to take the 'under' with Bonderman on the mound since it is 4-1-1 in his last five starts.
Daisuke Matsuzaka lends support to the 'under' wager as he's seen it go 3-2 in his past five starts. Plus, he leads the Red Sox with a 2.52 ERA this season.
The last 10 head-to-head meetings between these two clubs have watched the lower totals dominate in eight of the matches.
Philadelphia Phillies (J. Moyer) at Arizona Diamondbacks (M. Scherzer) – 9:40 pm EDT
Could this be an early preview of the National League Championship Series?
Philadelphia has gone 9-4 in its last 13 games this season, while the 'over' just barely took advantage with a 7-6 record. The result is a team that is sitting atop an NL East that has three teams just a ½-game separating them.
The Phillies can thank Tom Gordon for finding a little bit of the fountain of youth, helping him go 3-2 with a rather high 5.11 ERA to match up with a 1.30 WHIP. Those numbers are misleading when you consider he's not allowed an earned run in his last seven appearances…a span of 6 2/3 innings.
Arizona lays claim to the best record in baseball at 21-9 in its first 30 fixtures. And they're amongst the Top 10 in batting average (.271) and team ERA (3.26) in all of Major League Baseball.
Max Scherzer is making his first start in the big leagues for the D-Backs, but did pitch 4 1/3 scoreless innings on April 29 against the Astros while getting seven strikeouts. That's a far cry from Jamie Moyer, who will be starting for the 557th time of his career.
The smart money is on the Diamondbacks to notch another victory in their belt since they're 5-1 since May 2007 against the Phillies.
You might also want to take a look at the 'under' in this contest because of Moyer's ability to keep opposing offenses in check. Philadelphia has watched the combined scores of Moyer's starts go 'under' the closing number in seven of his last 10 appearances.
Re: MLB News and Notes April 5
N.Y. Mets (16-13) at L.A. Dodgers (17-14)
The Dodgers try to start a new winning streak when they send Chad Billingsley (1-4, 5.20 ERA) to the mound at Dodger Stadium, while the Mets are scheduled to counter with Oliver Perez (2-2, 4.03) in the opener of a three-game series.
Los Angeles had an eight-game winning streak snapped with Sunday's 7-2 loss in Colorado. It was the Dodgers' lowest run output in 10 games, as they averaged 8.8 runs per game during their streak, including producing double-digit runs four times.
New York arrives in Southern California having taken two of three from league-leading Arizona, including Sunday's 5-2 win in the desert. The Mets have won five of their last seven overall, but they're still under .500 on the highway (7-8).
These teams split their 10-game series last year, but the Mets did win five of the last seven, including three of four in Los Angeles.
Billingsley was stellar in his last start Wednesday, picking up his first victory of the season by allowing one run on three hits in seven innings of a 13-1 drubbing of the Marlins. At home this year, the right-hander is 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA. Tonight marks Billingsley's first career start against the Mets.
Perez didn't stick around long in his last outing on Thursday against the Pirates, getting chased after 1 2/3 innings after surrendering seven runs (only two earned) on two hits and five walks in a 13-1 home loss. Over his last two outings, the southpaw is 0-2 with an 8.59 ERA, allowing 12 runs (seven earned) in 7 1/3 innings.
Perez is 2-1 with a 2.60 ERA in three road games this year and 5-4 with a 3.53 ERA in 10 career starts against the Los Angeles, including 3-2 with a 3.50 ERA in six outings at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers are 4-1 in Billingsley's last five starts versus N.L. East competition, and they're on further streaks of 6-1 at home, 10-3 on Mondays, 5-0 in the first game of a series and 7-3 against the N.L. East. Meanwhile, the Mets are just 4-8 in their last 12 games against winning teams, but 5-1 in their last six against right-handed starters.
The over is 4-2 in Perez's six starts this season (2-1 on the road) and 4-0 in Billingsley's last four outings (2-0 in the last two).
The under is 4-1-1 the last six times these teams have met, but the over is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings on the West Coast. The over is also 4-1-1 in the Mets' last six overall, 14-7-1 in their last 22 road games and 17-9-2 in their last 28 on the road against right-handed starters six. Meanwhile the Dodgers are on over runs of 9-3-1 overall, 7-1 at home, 22-6-1 on Mondays, 35-16 in the first game of a series and 5-0 at home against teams with a winning mark.
Boston (20-13) at Detroit (14-18)
Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Rays and 5-1 homestand, the Red Sox hit the road and hand the ball to Daisuke Matsuzaka (4-0, 2.52 ERA), while the Tigers counter with ace Jeremy Bonderman (2-2, 3.86) in the first of a three-game set at Comerica Park.
Boston wrapped up its weekend sweep of Tampa Bay with Sunday's 7-3 win to improve to 5-1 in its last six, a run that comes on the heels of a five-game losing streak. Now the Sox take to the road where they have dropped three straight and are just 6-8 for the season.
Detroit returns home after a six-game road trip that saw the Tigers sweep the Yankees, then get swept by the Twins, concluding with Sunday's 7-6 loss when they scored six first-inning runs and were shutout the rest of the way. Detroit scored 20 runs in winning three games in New York, then managed just eight runs in Minnesota, including scoring single runs in losses on Friday and Saturday.
The Tigers are on a 4-2 run against the Red Sox, but Boston took two of three earlier this season at Fenway Park. The only win for Detroit came when Bonderman delivered a quality start, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits in five innings of a 7-2 victory. Otherwise the Red Sox are 29-14 in the last 43 series clashes, but just 1-4 the last five games at Comerica.
Bonderman has gone three straight outings of allowing two earned runs, and in Wednesday's 6-2 victory at Yankee Stadium, he yielded just five hits and a walk in 7 2/3 innings. The Tigers have won six straight games against Boston with Bonderman on the hill, as the right-hander has limited the Red Sox to three runs or less in seven of his last eight starts against them. For his career, Bonderman is 4-4 with a 4.35 ERA against the BoSox.
Dating back to last season, Boston has each of Matsuzaka's last eight straight starts, including Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Blue Jays when the right-hander tossed seven shutout innings, allowing on two hits and two walks. In April, Dice-K blanked the Tigers on four hits for 6 2/3 innings of a 5-0 Red Sox win. But in his lone visit to Comerica last year, he got shelled for six runs on 10 hits in five innings of a 6-5 loss.
Boston is on streaks of 20-7 against the A.L. Central Division, 40-17 against teams with a losing record, 12-5 on the road against losing teams, 11-1 in Matsuzaka's last 12 starts and 4-1 when he toes the rubber on the road. Meanwhile the Tigers are runs of 6-2 at home, 12-4 when Bonderman opens a series and 8-3 with him on the hill against teams with a winning mark. However, Detroit is on slides of 2-6 when Bonderman works in Comerica and 4-10 overall against winning teams.
The under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 head-to-head matchups , 4-0 in Bonderman's last four outings against the Sox and 4-1-1 in Bonderman's six starts this season. The under is also 6-3 in Boston's last nine and 18-6-1 in its last 25 Monday games. However, the over is 11-5-2 in the Tigers' last 18 on Mondays and 5-2-2 in their last nine at home.

Monday's best MLB bets
Angels vs. Kansas City +130, 9½
Chances are, you didn't know these were the two best fielding teams in the American League. Now you know and it helps bring a little bit of overlooked value to the under for this three-game series.
Both squads have a .989 fielding percentage and have committed just 26 errors between them this season. It is part of the reason K.C. is the third-best 'under' team in baseball right now and L.A. also has one more under than overs this year.
These two squads met in mid-April and played under in both matchups. Throw in the facts the Royals enter tonight on a three-game under streak and the Angels' Ervin Santana has played under in all four of his totals this season and 9 ½ runs starts looking a little steep.
Pick: under 9½
St. Louis vs. Colorado -125, 10
Colorado has one strong pitcher, Aaron Cook, and after that it's just everybody else. The Rockies are 6-1 when Cook starts and 6-18 when he doesn't.
One of those 'everybody else' guys starts tonight when Ubaldo Jimenez takes the hill. He is 0-3 with a 5.9 ERA in six starts and he has gone as far as six innings only once. Still, the Rockies are favored in this matchup while they still continue to see chalk as last year's World Series finalists.
That creates a solid value situation against a Cards team that is coming off an 18-win April, the most wins in April in franchise history.
Joel Pineiro takes the mound for St. Louis and brings a 1.77 ERA over his past three starts.
Pick: Cardinals +115
Re: MLB News and Notes April 5
This week in MLB betting
By MATT FARGO
Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers 7:05 PM ET
Boston took two of three against the Tigers in the first series meeting this year but this is not the same Detroit team. The Tigers are 13-8 since then and they are slowly climbing back into the American League Central. While Boston started the season on fire, there has been some problems of late as it is 4-6 over its last 10 games heading into Sunday. The Red Sox are 13-5 at home but just 6-8 on the road and Daisuke Matsuzaka will be making his first road start since April 1 after tossing four straight at Fenway Park.
Re: MLB News and Notes April 5
Baseball Today
Cleveland at New York Yankees (7:05 p.m.) One team will give when the Indians and unbeaten Cliff Lee (5-0, 0.96 ERA) take on the Yankees and equally stingy Chien-Ming Wang (6-0, 3.00), who has won three straight starts.
-Derek Jeter, Yankees, went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI in New York's 8-2 victory over Seattle. It was Jeter's first four-hit game since Aug. 30, against Boston.
-Gil Meche, Royals, allowed four hits in seven innings to help Kansas City beat Cleveland 2-0.
-Kevin Youkilis, Red Sox, went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in Boston's 7-3 victory over Tampa Bay.
-Chipper Jones, Braves, went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBIs in Atlanta's 14-7 rout of Cincinnati. The NL's leading hitter increased his average to .425.
-Lance Berkman, Astros, hit a homer and two doubles and drove in four runs in Houston's 8-6, 12-inning win over Milwaukee. Berkman had four hits in the game.
Toronto's Roy Halladay failed to pitch a complete game for the first time in five starts, and somehow that was good news for the Blue Jays. Halladay got the win in a 4-3 victory over Chicago, allowing three runs and three hits in 7 1-3 innings. He had lost three straight games despite going the distance. Oddly, Jose Contreras took the loss for the White Sox on Sunday, despite pitching a complete game.
Aaron Cook went to the mound with the Rockies on a four-game losing streak, and for the third straight start, he ended it. Cook pitched 7 2-3 solid innings in Colorado's 7-2 win over Los Angeles. It was the fifth time Cook stopped a Rockies' losing streak. The Rockies are 6-1 when Cook starts and 6-18 in other games. He's given up 13 earned runs and averaged seven innings in his last six starts - all of them Colorado victories. He hasn't walked a batter in his last two starts.
The Indians offense struggled again, managing just four singles in a 2-0 loss to Gil Meche and the Kansas City Royals. They managed two runs and eight hits in losing two games to the Royals over the weekend, and have scored more than three runs in a game just once in seven games, dating to April 27. The team's .242 average is 13th out of 14 American League teams.
Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir was chased after allowing four runs in four innings in his season debut, a 7-3 loss at Boston. He had been out since straining his elbow in February. ``My arm felt great, but I was doing a little too much,'' Kazmir said. ``I felt like I was battling myself the whole time, but I'll be fine.''
Athletics reliever Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect inning in Oakland's 3-1 win over Texas. Casilla has yet to allow a run in 17 appearances, spanning 16 1-3 innings. He has 20 strikeouts and only two walks, and has allowed nine hits. No pitcher in baseball has pitched more innings without allowing a run this season than Casilla. Jim Johnson of Florida has 15 1-3 scoreless innings and Phillies closer Brad Lidge has 15. Chad Qualls of Arizona had his streak of 16 2-3 scoreless innings snapped in Arizona's 5-2 loss to New York.
Brewers closer Eric Gagne gave up two runs in the ninth inning to Houston, and Milwaukee went on to lose 8-6 in 12 innings to the Astros. Gagne has blown five of his 14 save chances and has a 6.14 ERA.
Struggling pitcher Ian Kennedy was sent to the minor leagues by the New York Yankees. The Yankees promised patience with their young pitchers this season, but Kennedy was optioned to Triple-A after going 0-2 with an 8.37 ERA in six games, including five starts. ... Anthony Reyes was demoted to the minor leagues by the Cardinals after sputtering in a relief role with a 5.27 ERA.
Twins right-hander Scott Baker was set to have an MRI exam on his strained right groin muscle. Baker left the mound on Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers after only 43 pitches and three innings when he felt an aggravation of the injury that also forced him out early from his previous start. ... Cubs cleanup hitter Aramis Ramirez missed his second straight start with a sore left wrist from getting hit by a pitch.
Matt Holliday had two hits and two RBIs and Colorado beat Los Angeles to snap the Dodgers' eight-game winning streak. The win also ended the Rockies' four-game skid.
``When I got to third, Maddux said, 'You're supposed to pull the ball.''' - Marlins OF Luis Gonzalez, a good friend of Maddux's, after ripping a line drive that the pitcher had to duck to avoid in a 10-3 Florida win over San Diego. Gonzalez has 10 homers off Maddux, the most of any player, and a .321 average with 36 hits against the right-hander.

Tap water and water filtration systemsThe main problems with tap water are:
Let's examine the fluoride problem first:
Then something happened. Little by little, Foulkes found out that the statistics that his researchers had based their findings on were largely falsified. It took Foulkes several years to uncover the truth, but by 1992, he shocked the country by backing down from his original recommendation: "I now hold a different view. the fluoridation of community water supplies can no longer be held to be either safe or effective in the reduction of dental caries .Therefore, the practice should be abandoned."- Foulkes, 1992 Foulkes is not some tree-hugger from Santa Cruz. He is one of Canada's top scientific researchers. Many cities in Canada listened and stopped fluoridating. Want to read a first-hand story about lies and greed and disregard for human health and crooked deals between government and industry? Read Dr. Foulkes stuff. Another pro-fluoride Canadian scientist, Dr. Hardy Limeback, changed his tune when he learned that 30-60% of Canadian children now have visible signs of overexposure to fluoride, something called "dental fluorosis". In a Toronto Star interview with Michael Downey, Limeback said: "Children under three should never use fluoridated toothpaste. Or drink fluoridated water." (My favorite source for quality toothpaste products which don't contain fluoride can be found here) Such research also prompted the Canadian Dental Association in 1992 to keep fluoride supplements from children of three and under. But attacking fluoride supplement pills is just a smokescreen to protect fluoridation of drinking water. Most research has found all the above ill effects at concentrations even less than the standard 1 PPM which exists in most city water. It's not the supplements that are killing us; it's the fluoridated water. Fluoridation In Other CountriesIf fluoridation is as safe and effective as the American Dental Association says it is, why don't other countries do it? The U.S. is nowhere near the top of any health list which compares other countries of the world. So what are the healthy countries doing? If fluoride is so great, why have the following countries either never fluoridated or else stopped when they found out how bad it was?:
Other contaminants in tap waterLet's discuss the other problems with tap water: Chlorine:
Chlorine allowed population centers to spring up and thrive without any epidemic outbreaks. The problem with chlorine is that it is a known poison and the safety of drinking this poison over the longterm (i.e. your lifetime) is highly uncertain. Also, chlorine reacts with water-borne decaying organic matter like leaves, bark, sediment, etc. to create a family of chemicals called trihalomethanes and other highly toxic substances. Trihalomethanes, or THM's, include chemicals such as chloroform, bromoform and dichlorobromethane, all of which are extremely carcinogenic even in minute amounts. Chloramine: Bacteria: If you are on a spring or a wall, with no chlorine, then you are very vulnerable to bacterial contamination. Even the most pure sources cannot prevent occasional contamination from animals either dying or defecating in the source, or from neighboring pollution (i.e. septic tanks) traveling from an adjoining watershed to contaminate the source. Also, the pipes are again a source of bacteria. Many people do periodic testing on their well or spring source and rely on this method to assure themselves that they have good water. What they don't realize is that there are a few problems with testing. First, the test is only good for the moment the sample was taken. Bacteria can have "blooms," if the conditions are right, which potentially occur hours, days or weeks after the testing and therefore remain undetected. Other casual contamination can occur from animal or human sources, as mentioned above, which the test never detected because the sample was taken before the contamination occurred. Second, testing can be very expensive to do, depending on what is being tested for. Most basic tests cover bacteria (i.e. E. coli), levels of sediment and decaying organic matter, and amount of total dissolved solids (mineral levels such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur, etc.). With any extra testing the price goes up per test. Lead, asbestos and specific chemical contaminants are more difficult and therefore much more expensive to test for. Lead:
Asbestos: Chemical
Pollution: Along with the herbicides comes the pesticidal group such as DDT, malathione and other toxics used in insect eradication and control. Also, the THM's mentioned before are a big pollutant because of the amount of chlorination used nationwide. They are a separate class of chemical from chlorine itself. Cysts:
Giardia is seven to fourteen microns in size and cryptosporidium is from three to 5 microns in size. When the environment becomes inhospitable (like the presence of chlorine or the absence of water), both parasites can go into the cystic form (like a hard, round impermeable microscopic egg). The cyst form is chlorine resistant and very hard to kill. Municipal utilities are unable to completely remove these cysts. Cysts have been found in most major municipal water systems in the U.S. Milwaukee, Wisconsin had a huge outbreak of cryptosporidia in 1993 that killed over 100 people. San Francisco, California has repeatedly tested positive for giardia in its chlorinated water that traveled hundreds of miles from the Sierras. The human body is over 70% water. To think that contaminants in our drinking water have little or no bearing on our short term and long term health picture is to ignore reality. Federal, state and local authorities will strive to do their best to insure that we get the best water possible but they can't undo all of the damage to our water sources over decades of ignorance and abuse. It's up to us to take personal responsibility to safeguard the water we use to drink and prepare our food. That responsibility starts at each household's kitchen tap. Removing all contaminants at the kitchen or bathroom taps just before consuming the water is the most logical, efficient and economical solution to drinking water purification. In this manner, only the drinking water is filtered (rather than all the household water). Also, there is no possibility for re-contamination (i.e. in a holding tank) after purifying the water. Using filtration systems to rid our tap water from harmful contaminants.Bottled water in some cases can be of high quality, but its cost makes it a less-than-ideal solution. There is also a potential problem with the cloudy plastic (PVC) containers from your grocery store as they transfer far too many chemicals into the water. Therefore let's look at filters for a better solution. "Buy a filter or be a filter." That's one company's slogan. Today there is enough grassroots consciousness about the dangers of tap water that cheap carbon filters are now available in any hardware store which attach easily to the kitchen faucet. It is likely that such filters get rid of most of the chlorine - for a while. But to really get the resistant biologicals, the fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants, the customer may consider one of the high-end drinking water filters. These cost between $200 and $400 and come in models for both over and under the sink. Names like Alpine, MultiPure, and Spectrapure are among the dozens of brand names that have come along during the past 20 years. Multipure seems to be out front at this time. Everyone claims to be the best, of course, but we can find some important similarities in their advertising. When you begin to compare the better water filters, you notice common concerns: Chlorine, THMs, chloriform, chloramines, cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia, cysts, fluoride, minerals, pesticides and toxic chemicals, heavy metals, MTBEs, nitrates. Killing microbials is not a big deal since most of that's been done by chlorine. Most contaminants are removed by the better filters. The problem when choosing a filter seems to come down to four main concerns: fluoride, minerals, THMs, and nitrates. It is difficult to find one filter that does everything: many reverse osmosis filters take out fluoride, but also the healthy minerals. Many of the high-end carbon filters will not remove fluoride or nitrates, but leave the healthy minerals. Fluoride is obviously an important one. Find out if the filter you are about to buy removes fluoride, and what percentage. After what we've learned about fluoride, we should expect a filter to remove it, wouldn't you say? Problem is: the demand. Due to fluoride advocate propaganda, most Americans don't even realize fluoride is bad for them, and therefore don't think about it when considering a water filter. NSF is a third-party non-profit testing agency that has been rating water filters for the past 50 years. Always ask - is it NSF-certified? For what? Don't be fooled if they say 'NSF-tested.' There's a big difference between "tested" and "certified". Minerals is an area of some controversy. You've got the hard water/soft water debate. Hard water has more minerals in it, which obviously is better for the bones and teeth, and probably for the heart as well. Most naturopaths and holistic nutritionists don't like distilled water because they say it leaches minerals from the bones and teeth. In general, that seems logical, although some expert say it doesn't make any difference unless the person is extremely malnourished. The truth is, no formal studies comparing distilled with mineral water have been done, so it's all pretty theoretical. But thinking about the Hunzas and their 120-year lifespan that was attributed to the glacial mineral waters they drank, one can see the value of minerals in drinking water. A high-end water filter should take this discussion into consideration and give reasons about the importance or unimportance of filtering out certain minerals. The water filter I personally prefer myself, is the Berkey water filter. The Berkey is what I use in my home.

This is a mainly piano based tune with some synthesizer thrown in for good measure. When playing it back for the first time I imagined floating through space surrounded by beautiful stars and ever so quiet, then catching a glimpse of earth through the darkness. Let me know what you think.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is one of the best songs ive heard on newgrounds. well done, very well done.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
you made me think of some words, let me show them to you
"Darkness, its not an evil thing, its just misterious, Man has called Darkness evil because he have no power over the Darkness, so afraid that Darkness may do something to him, Man called evil to keep people away from the Darkness. Nothing is evil, its how WE use it."
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I'm happy that you've given darkness such life, such emotion!
It's simply enthralling...

"A new report from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs applauds U.S. government agencies for food security leadership but calls on them to up the game in the face of rising global challenges and shrinking aid budgets," Connie Veillette, director of the Center for Global Development's rethinking U.S. foreign assistance initiative, writes in the center's "Rethinking U.S. Foreign Assistance Blog," adding, "While it is a positive assessment, the report highlights some areas of concern that could affect U.S. leadership in future years" (4/27). John Glenn, policy director at the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, notes in the organization's blog that Chicago Council "co-chairs Catherine Bertini and Dan Glickman called for the progress made to be institutionalized with Congressional authorization. Significant increases in food production, they suggested, will only be visible after a decade, which would require sustaining the commitments of the past three years for another seven years" (4/27).

More Americans were killed during the years 1861–1865 than any other date in history. Men shattered, women lost, families broken. In Shades of Blue & Gray, editor Steve Berman offers readers tales of the supernatural, ghost stories that range from the haunts of the battlefield to revenants on the long march home. Yank. Rebel. Both find themselves at odds both in flesh and spirit.
To be published by Prime Books in 2013.
I'm seeking ghost or revenant stories rather than hungry dead tales. So no zombies. You certainly do not have to be American to submit. And the stories do not have to take place during the 19th century but the Civil War (the battles, slavery, etc) must be essential elements.
No word limit. Reprints are fine. Payment for them starts at $25 or 1 cent a word, whichever is greater. Original tales, any length, also are fine. $100 or at least 3 cents a word. Payment is upon publication.
Send queries and/or submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline is July.

Old faithful!
This bath bomb is probably the most simple of them all but it is also my absolute favorite. I have tried many bath bombs and while they are all wonderful in their own way, this one is perfect for me. I love the way it makes my skin feel; it is extremely moisturizing. I have soft skin for days after bathing in it without applying any moisturizer at all. I also love that it doesn't have any color or sparkles to it. Sometimes that stuff is nice, but most of the time I get out of the bath and hop into bed, so all the fancy additions don't do much for me. Lastly, I love the smell. It's nothing too overwhelming. It's a soft, warm scent, perfect for a nice relaxing bath. I can't say anything bad about this bath bomb. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

alex_79 - Unregistered August 27, 2012 3:49 PM Yeah well, in a car he's not familiar with, in a rally which is a real car-breaker, in a team in shambles as Araujo now threatens legal action as he thinks his sacking is breach of contract on part of mini Italia and with the public eye already waiting for a gigantic off as he is labeled a car-breaker himself.

ACCESS SAM SHSU Experts SHSU Stats Sam the Man SHSU History Austin Hall
Sam Houston State University political science professor Mike Yawn is taking a more hands-on approach to teaching two of his classes this semester about civic engagement among both the general public and the student body. On Dec. 6-8, three sections of his "Introduction to American government" and "Media in politics" classes will be holding a mock convention of both the Democratic and Republican national conventions. The event will be held from 3-7 p.m. each day in the Killinger Auditorium. " It's just like the real party conventions that the Democrats and the Republicans hold every summer," Yawn said, "but it's different this time because it's run by students and it's after the election." Twenty-three students will serve as speakers, role-playing as such people as George W. Bush, John Kerry, John Edwards and Colin Powell. The first half of each day will have "Democrat" speakers, and the second half will have "Republican" speakers. In addition, "real life" politicians, including Rep. Kevin Brady, Texas Rep. Dan Ellis, Huntsville City councilman Mickey Evans and State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, have confirmed that they will speak at the mock convention. Those students who will not be speaking will serve at the convention in other facets. " Some of the students chose to be on the technology committee, so they are creating commercials and documentaries for the convention for each candidate; some of the students chose to be on the decoration committee, so they are decorating the hall; and some of the students are dealing with the issues, putting together party platforms for each of the parties," Yawn said. Yawn said his goal in providing students with options to take on those kinds of roles was to give students a broad and deep knowledge of real-live political events that pertain to a variety of disciplines. " Basically, if a student was majoring in interior design, I wanted to give them a hands-on project where they could decorate a convention hall," he said; "if they are in public speaking, then I wanted to give them the opportunity to speak in front of their peers, faculty and administrators and community citizens. " If they were going into computers or some sort of information technology, then they could work on the technology committee and practice editing, creating clips, doing things in a manner that is consistent with advertising and marketing and political campaigning." The group has been working with various organizations throughout the city, including the Huntsville-Walker County Chamber of Commerce, and on Dec. 7, will work with the H.E.A.R.T.S. Veteran Museum to pay tribute to veterans and publicize the opening of the new veteran's museum for Pearl Harbor day. " I want this to be a strong community event and to strengthen the ties between Sam Houston and the business community," Yawn said. "I also want to give the chance for the students to actually put something on; it gives them hands-on political and business experience." The convention will count as 30 percent of the students' grades, and they will be evaluated on different aspects of their roles within the convention. For more information on the mock convention or the classes working on it, visit the "candidates' Web sites" at www.shsu.edu/~bush/ and www.shsu.edu/~kerry/.

9 Best White Noise Baby Products
I had no idea how helpful white noise could be in helping my baby to sleep until we had our roof replaced, and the baby slept better. You read that correctly — the sounds of construction helped my baby sleep. Who would have guessed that adding noise to naptime would calm a restless baby?
Because I can't have roofers come over every time I need to put Tate down for a nap, I've been looking into more ways I can introduce a little noise into the room where he sleeps. White noise, specifically, is a little background noise — a fan whirring, or the rain outside, or a quiet, static-like tone — that is known to comfort babies as they fall asleep. White noise may mimic the familiar sounds of the womb (it wasn't all peace and quiet in there!) or cover up louder background noises that may distract baby.
On my first post, readers left comments telling me about their favorite products and tips for implementing white noise into baby's sleep routine. I have been amazed at the difference it has made for Tate's nap schedule.
We ended up going the old-fashioned route by keeping a fan on high in the corner of his room while he sleeps, but some parents may prefer to invest in a white noise machine. These machines generally work better at covering up disturbing background noises such as snoring or loud neighbors. Click through to read about 9 of the best white noise baby products:
How do you implement white noise into your baby's sleep schedule? What products do you recommend?

Wed Jan 02 2002 12:52:
Also among my Christmas presents was an all-in-one paperback copy of The Lord of the Rings. I remember thinking this was a great innovation when they first started appearing, but my mother (whose mighty 1965 hardback set was the one I'd used on my previous trips through the trilogy) said that the covers would curl like crazy. How right she was; it's worse in that respect than Cryptonomicon, and I'm going through it a lot faster than I did Cryptonomicon.
Anyway, I'm about halfway through and enjoying it a lot more than last time; the movie made clear a lot of previously fuzzy scenes (like all of book III). I mantain some irrational fear that people will see me reading my movie-branded copy and take me for one whose interest in the books stems entirely from seeing the movie. I don't know why I care what these putative people think, especially since such people would probably not care that this is my fourth time through the trilogy.

I have been asked to update the standings of the Commissioner's Cup for 2012. Below are the standings at this time. We are currently in 2nd place, but unless NDSU really tanks the remaining sports, it is theirs to lose.

Thanks a bunch for posting this. Rep points deserving!

Final results.
About time NDSU won one. Rather disapointed in SDSU finishing 4th. Not good IMO. Also USD women finished ahead of us.

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.
Kind of an odd thing happened this year. WIU has the largest number of Summit sports(all 19 of them) yet finished in last place. NDSU is tied with IUPUI for the fewest(14) yet took the cup. Doesn't mean much, but kinda weird for it to happen.
A case of Quality over Quantity, perhaps?
Winning an Internet argument is like being the Valedictorian of summer school. No matter how much you win by, you're still an idiot.
I thought the more sports you had the better chance you had of winning this award but this year makes me wonder. It might be better to get rid of some "smaller" sports to concentrate on the other ones.
Men's & Women's Swimming and Diving- The schools that have these sports finished in 4th, 6th, 7th 9th and 10th(last) in total team points.
Men's Soccer- The schools with this sport finished in 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th(last).
Men's Tennis- The schools with this sport finished in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 10th(last). This sport did have 3 of the top 5 in total points at the end of the year.
ORU had both Men's Soccer and Tennis and they finished 2nd overall in team points but WIU and IUPUI are the only schools to sponsor all 4 of these sports and they finished in 9th and 10th overall. Oakland has 3 of these sports and they finished in 7th overall. SDSU is the only school that had 3 of these 4 that finished in the top 6 in the final standings. They finished in 4th overall.
This just might have a weird year but I sure found that strange.

Accession# 1943.003 Artist Borglum, Solon Hannibal Collection Art Objects Credit line Purchased by Archer Milton Huntington Date 1899 Description "On the Border of White Man's Land" by Solon BorglumGroup/Indian/horse/stealth"An Indian has crawled to the edge of a cliff to spy from beneath his horse, sheltered by its lowered head. He lies on the ground wrapped in a blanket, his left hand clutching a gun. The horse's tail, to which the eagle's feather is tied, is blown between its legs, completing the curve made by the bent neck and the Indian's half-raised body. The sculptor has concentrated on the compact massing of the bodies of horse and man and the impression of tense watchfulness, modeling the forms broadly without exact detail."

Anaheim may rank as the sixth-best city to host trade shows in the country now, but 10 years ago, the city wouldn't have even made the top 10 list.
Expo Magazine ranked the Top 10 cities for its April edition by surveying 126 trade show managers about their preferred destinations. Anaheim tied for sixth place, alongside Philadelphia. Las Vegas ranked first, while Phoenix was second.
But the magazine went a step further by taking a look back, asking how those managers would have responded in 2004. Anaheim wasn't listed. Still, Las Vegas was on top, even a decade ago.
A lot has happened in 10 years around the Anaheim Convention Center, which is the largest on the West Coast with about 1 million square feet. While Disney California Adventure opened across the street in 2001, the theme park didn't really take off until a $1 billion makeover was completed in 2012 with the debut of Cars Land.
In January 2013, the Convention Center stretched its gathering space outdoors with the Grand Plaza, where concerts are held and attendants hang out.
Next up is a proposed 200,000-square-foot expansion. Also, at least 14 new hotel projects are underway in the area.
"The Anaheim Convention Center remains that largest convention center on the West Coast and is considered one of the finest convention venues in the nation," said Jay Burress, president of the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau. "The addition of the Grand Plaza has given us a revived outdoor campus look and (we) feel that is very popular with meeting planners and attendees. The 200,000-square-foot expansion of the (center's) space will help keep us in the top tier as a convention destination."
The center hosted 229 events during the last fiscal year, drawing about 1.1 million people in 2012-13.

Raw DataMost CCD cameras used in astronomy record data in FIT (Flexible Image Transport) format. This is the most useful format for analysis, or for finding "what's really there". Typically, however, these files must be processed in order to be displayed, and the processing changes the "raw" data. Sometimes there is no substitute for examining the original data. The data here have been reduced, aligned, and combined. Although there are many possible workflows that will yield useable data, the typical data reduction is as follows. All original files are recorded as 16 bit integer FIT files using CCDDoft. Multiple dark files of a constant time and temperature are combined into a "Master Dark" file using CCDStack. Flat files are most often taken at dusk (or dawn) with a stretched T-shirt over the front of the telescope. Again, multiple individual flat frames are dark subtracted and combined into a "Master Flat" using CCDStack. Reduced files are aligned in CCDStack, and the aligned files are saved as 32 bit floating point data. Multiple reduced files are combined using Sigma Beta, and saved as 32 bit floating point FIT files. These combined files are what is posted here. Feel free to download and play with any of the data posted to this site, but please follow these rules:

1305 Jurisdiction [R-08.2012]
Jurisdiction of the application remains with the primary examiner until the Notice of Allowance is mailed. However, the examiner may make examiner's amendments correcting obvious errors, as when brought to the attention of the examiner by the printer, and also may admit amendments under 37 CFR 1.312 which are confined to matters of form in the specification or claims, or to the cancellation of a claim or claims. The examiner's action on other amendments under 37 CFR 1.312 consists of a recommendation to the Director.
To regain jurisdiction over the application, the examiner must write a letter to the Director requesting it. See MPEP § 1308 and § 1308.02.
Once the patent has been granted, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can take no action concerning it, except as provided in 35 U.S.C. 135,35 U.S.C. 251 through 256, 35 U.S.C. 302 through 307 and 35 U.S.C. 311 through 316.
