Museum of city life is to close; Liverpool institution expected to shut down by end of year.
THE Museum of Liverpool Life is to be closed down, probably at the end of this year, the Daily Post can reveal.
It is hoped that the museum on the city waterfront will eventually find a new home in the pounds 65m building planned for neighbouring Mann Island but that is not due to open until 2009.
National Museums Liverpool confirmed last night that the museum, which stages major exhibitions on the social history of the region, will close by next April at the latest.
It means that Liverpool will not have its social history museum available for European Capital of Culture year. The new museum, on part of the site of the defunct Fourth Grace Project, is still on the drawing board, and does not yet have planning permission.
Staff at the Museum of Liverpool Life, which opened in 1993, are meeting today to draw up plans for storage of exhibits after the shut-down.
Museum executives will meet later this month to discuss the details of the closure plan. They intend to close it because work on the neighbouring new museum is expected to begin then, making it difficult, although not impossible, for the public to access the site.
Privately, insiders expect the doors to shut on December 31, as that date coincides with the closure of many of the exhibitions currently running there.
The building alongside Albert Dock will then be turned into an administration block for museum officers working on drawing up plans for its replacement.
A source from the museum said: "Closing on December 31 is a serious option. It is logical to close it then because that is when lots of the exhibitions finish. It is expected that it will be controversial with the public as it would be at least four years until the new museum opened."
The plans for a new Museum of Liverpool at Mann Island were revealed in January after the spectacular collapse of the Fourth Grace scheme last year.
English Heritage has been involved in early talks over the 90,000sq ft design as its proposed location is within the World Heritage site, but they are expected to support it.
Around 10,000 square metres of exhibition space will be set aside for the Museum of Liverpool Life's exhibitions. The NWDA has thrown its support behind it and allocated pounds 32.7m, subject to government approval.
But it was criticised as doomed to failure by Wirral council leader Steve Foulkes who said the plans looked like they were drawn on the back of an envelope.
The building is scheduled for completion by 2008 but will not open to the public until the following year.
All but two of the Liverpool Life collections, which last year attracted 311,000 visitors, will go into storage until then.
A spokeswoman for National Museums Liverpool confirmed last night: "We are looking at a number of dates but it must be closed by April, 2006, at the latest.
"We have to decant the collections, which will take a long time.
"We are looking to start work on the site of the new museum in April. Because of the proximity of the sites, it would not be ideal to have it open to the public.
"It is not ideal to close it, obviously we want to keep it open for as long as we can.
"Two of the collections will go on display at the Maritime Museum. The Changing Face of Liverpool will be there in 2007 and Liverpool Music and Culture in 2008OPINION: PAGE 12

Erectile DysfunctionInfo Center
Staying active could benefit more than just heart health in men.
Signs of heart disease can be worrying at any age. A new study found that early signs of artery disease can signal more than just future heart problems in men.
Diabetes and low testosterone may each increase the risk of heart disease. Having both may push that risk even higher.
Some medications for erectile dysfunction (ED) like Viagra can take up to an hour to begin working before sex. But the Us Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new medicine Thursday that can act in 15 minutes.
While anyone can develop gout, a type of arthritis, the condition is more common in men than women. And it seems that gout may be linked to a problem only men can experience.
Prostate cancer treatment is a common cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). A new study set out to see if tadalafil (Cialis, Adcirca) could prevent this post-treatment ED.
For older men with narrowing of arteries or other heart health risk factors, statins may be prescribed to lower cholesterol. The medication may add an unexpected boost in the bedroom as well.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about a serious potential side effect of methylphenidate products (e.g. Ritalin, Concerta, and Daytrana) used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
For men who decide to see their doctor for sexual issues, it may be a good idea to get the heart checked out at the same time.
When we see the apple of our eye, hearts start to race. But when it's time to get intimate in bed, a constantly racing heart might mean trouble for a man.

A Tiny Little Conundrum
Hey there, everyone!! :)
I'm doing well with my STO Main (a Human Male Starfleet Tactical Officer) and am looking forward to getting him a Vigilant-Class Tactical Escort. :D
However, I'm also working on designing a couple of Alts--I won't start them until my Main gets his Vigilant, but I eventually want to: A) try a different path in Starfleet, see what commanding a Science Vessel or Cruiser would be like, and B) see what life is like on the Klingon Side of the game.
Now, the only thing I need to work on for the Klingon Alt is his Physical Appearance, so I'm good there. However, I'm facing a bit of a conundrum with my Starfleet Alt (a Human Female).
Basically, my Starfleet Alt is going to be a member of Starfleet Research and Development, and her ship is going to be a Mobile Technology Lab. However, my problem is deciding what Career Spec and Ship Type to give her.
So, I'm asking everyone out there: Would a Technology Lover in R&D like my Starfleet Alt be better as a Science Officer or as an Engineer? Also, would a Science Vessel or a Cruiser function better as a Mobile Technology Lab?
Thanks in advance!!!! :D:cool:
Three words.
Captain Beverly Picard.
Science officer, science ship.
Do it.
I decided to actually get Shion (My Starfleet Alt) started, and I made her an Engineer. I think it makes sense--Research & Development would probably be a Technology-Oriented branch of the Starfleet Corp. of Engineers, after all. :D
However, I'm still trying to decide what type of ship to use for her. Cruisers and Science Vessel have their individual strengths, and I can't choose between them. So, I'm going to have to focus on the RP Issue. So, my latest question is: Which ship type (Cruiser or Science Vessel) would be easier to convert into a Mobile Technology Lab? :D:cool:
Well, if the dilemma now is choosing between a cruiser and a science vessel, I'd vote science vessel.
I command an escort on my main, but I have to say, I absolutely can't stand cruisers. They're slow, plodding, and can't begin to match the firepower of an escort... and in my experience, they're not THAT much more resilient than an escort or a science vessel.
Higher tier science vessels have similar turn rates to escorts, making them much more maneuverable than clunky cruisers, and they're second to none in their ability to buff and debuff, meaning you can get the same firepower out of them with the right combination of buffs (and debuffs) as you can from an escort.
As for the RP angle, I'd say a science ship makes more sense for a mobile technology lab. Put it this way. Cruisers are used as ships-of-the-line and long-range exploration vessels, because they're resilient and self-sufficient. Escorts are used as fast attack and close fire support vessels, because while they're not designed for deep space missions, they're powerful, fast, and hard to defend against. Science ships are used as fleet support, hospital, and research vessels (and in some cases for long-range exploration) because they're just as self-sufficient as cruisers, but actually have the facilities for medical and scientific missions. Of those three, which sounds like the easiest to reconcile as a technology lab? Science vessel, hands down.
So while I don't think your choice of engineering officer is the best, I do still think you should go for a science vessel instead of a cruiser, for both RP and practical purposes.
I am playing as a Engineer officer on a science vessel, it works out quite well.
on the rp side of things my toon's back story is quite similar. and science seemed the most logical for "R&D"
think of it this way, if you are doing research and development then you would be doing experiments that you will want sophisticated sensors for, science vessels would have the sensors you need/want.
a cruiser would more be for utilizing already developed technology. call it a "mobile machine shop" of sorts.
I hear what you're both saying.
@SaintHazard: I originally was thinking Science Officer for Shion, but I felt that giving Shion tech-related skills (like Turret Fabrication, etc.) would be better for her RP-Wise, which is why I went Engineer. And I'm glad for your opinion--I think I will go Science Vessel. :D
@Jonathan_Kent: Visual Styling does work, and I do think that the Nova design does scream "Techie" to me. :D
Now, one last decision to make. I'm not going to go all the way to a T5 Ship--I don't see the point of going for a Luna or Destiny-Class Vessel (heck, my STO Main [Human Male Starfleet Tactical Officer] is only going to go T4 in his chosen Class [Escort--I really want to use a Vigilant]). However, I also don't want to leave her with a Nova, either.
So, do I go with a T3 Olympic or a T4 Discovery for Shion? :D
I mean, its like uber-voyager. How can you go wrong with that?
Thanks, all of you :D
T4 Discovery-Class it is. :D

Graeme Smith's men prepared for the big clash between equals
Andrew Symonds will have to dispel any doubts about the strength of his throwing arm by then if he is to take part in Saturday's match at Warner Park that will determine the World Cup Group A winner.
Symonds had surgery to reattach his right biceps tendon after tearing it on Feb. 2.
Australia is hoping that Symonds would recover fully from arm surgery to give it the required boost in its World Cup match against South Africa today.
Captain Ricky Ponting said he was throwing the ball farther and harder on Thursday, a day after 30 meters was his limit.
Brad Hodge is the player most likely to make way if Symonds is declared fit. Hodge scored 123 against the Netherlands on Tuesday for his maiden ODI hundred, and Ponting appears reluctant to exclude him.
``It would be nice to welcome him back into the side, but we're not going to do that if we don't think he's at the appropriate level to play somewhere near his best,'' Ponting said of Symonds.
``Especially when we've got other guys in the team who are playing at their peak. That's what we have to weigh up, and weigh it up tomorrow, after hopefully we have another good look at him at training.''
Ponting, Australia chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch, coach John Buchanan and team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris conferred at training on Thursday to presumably discuss Symonds' fitness.
``We're hoping we can get him to 100 percent, or near enough to 100 percent, by tomorrow afternoon,'' Ponting said.
He revealed he is half-expecting to bat first regardless of who wins the toss.
``South Africa historically like to bowl first in most of their one-day games,'' he said. ``I've had a look at a lot of stats the last few days, and they've got an amazing record in day games of winning the toss and bowling first. I would imagine that would be their style of play at this venue.
``I've been pretty happy to bat first out here in the first two games we've played.''
The match will also be significant in crowning the No. 1-ranked limited-overs team by the April 1 deadline for the end-of-season rankings.
If South Africa wins it cannot be overtaken, but if Australia is victorious it will move within striking distance with two matches to play before the cutoff date.
South Africa unseated Australia as No. 1 last month _ the first nation to do that since the one-day international rankings were introduced in 2002.
If Australia wins on Saturday then South Africa's match against either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh in Guyana next Wednesday in the Super 8s will be crucial for the ranking. Australia has games against West Indies on Tuesday, and either India or Bangladesh on March 31 in Antigua that are also potentially significant.
South Africa opener A.B. de Villiers believes the teams are too close to favor one over the other.
``I don't think there's a lot of difference,'' De Villiers said. ``I think it's just the ability to put it together on the day. It needs some big-match temperament, so it's going to be a smashing game.''
De Villiers followed up his second-delivery duck against the Netherlands last Friday with a 45-ball 62 versus Scotland on Tuesday.
``I did start off slowly against Holland,'' he said. ``My game wasn't where it should have been, but it came right against Scotland. Hopefully on Saturday, I'll go out there and prove I'm a good opening bat.''
South Africa's only selection quandary appears to be whether to pick swing bowler Charl Langeveldt or paceman Andre Nel for the fourth and final bowling spot. Langeveldt was preferred to Nel for Tuesday's seven-wicket win over Scotland, but his two wickets cost 48 runs against a very modest lineup.
Proteas captain Graeme Smith said this week that they no longer feared Australia, and while Ponting agreed that South Africa has played well over the past two years, he was keen to establish one point.
``Trust me, they'll still be talking about us in their team meeting tonight, don't worry about that,'' he said.-AP
The teams (from):
Australia: Ricky Ponting (capt.), Adam Gilchrist, Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hodge, Brad Hogg, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Andrew Symonds, Shaun Tait, Shane Watson.
South Africa: Graeme Smith (capt.), Jacques Kallis, Loots Bosman, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Justin Kemp, Charl Langeveldt, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince, Roger Telemachus.

Restoring data from b2d
Here is the situation :
I have a production BE 2010 R3 Server.
I have manage to backup all my data successfully to B2d Internal Hard Drive.
The mission I am trying to accomplish is to have a DRP BE Server which I would be able to restore that data In case of crises.
I do have a DR dedicated server (different from the production one ) which I would like to restore the data to.
The inventory step I do successfully and I can see The media label
When I try to catalog the media I get this error:

thank u for your help but i tryed to do what you hav sayes ant the massege i get now is:

To add the media's catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation. Final error category: Backup Media Errors
any idea?
Hi Yaniv,
Did you inventory and catalog the media before trying to restore it?
You can also try the TN below:
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
I have succeeded to inventory the folder and all the media that physically exist on the disk is listed.
Do I have to catalog all the Medias one by one? What about the inventory?
Should I Catalog them one by one as well?
When I try to catalog only one media it starts and then failed with the error message above.
In addition, can I delete the c:\programFiles\Catalog Folder? Will it be automatically created?
A screenshot is attached.
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to highlight them all and then run the catalog job...try that and report back!
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...can't find anything about this, so I'd suggest opening a support case with Symantec directly. Should they help you in finding a solution, please post back here with the information and close it off!

Home Show offers entertainment, but it's serious to vendors
EVANSVILLE - There are two sides to the Heritage Federal Credit Union Home Show under way through 6 p.m. today at the Ford Center and The Centre in Downtown Evansville.
For more than 60 years, the thousands of people who attend the annual the home-and-garden show come not only to find the latest home improvement products but for information and entertainment.
The Home Show includes such lighthearted attractions as puppy dog kissing booths, the world famous Frisbee Dogs and, this year, a Man Cave with pool tables and big screen TVs. Demonstrations are available on everything from how to lay patio pavers to plant a tree and to cook a gourmet meal.
But for the hundreds of Home Show vendors who rent the booth space, the show has a more serious side.
With consumer spending crippled over the past few years by crashing stock markets and high unemployment rates, the people responsible for handing out the bags of product information and demonstrating their wares are hoping that at least a few of those wandering past their displays might actually decide to do business with them.
"It's always a success," said Ken Jones, president of Evansville's Custom Recreation and who is in his 14th year at the Home Show. "It's a perfect time of year to sell swing sets, basketball goals, trampolines, everybody's thinking about summer and what the kids are going to do."
Although Jones said his business is now experiencing steady growth, four years ago he saw business drop as families began to hang on more to their discretionary income. Sales begin to fall in late 2008 and 2009 was "a bad year," he said.
"It was pretty rough there for a while," said Jones. "But really it's interesting when you go through a sales drop, you look at all your expenses and save money wherever you can, and we did."
From 2008 to 2009, sales had dropped 30 percent for Custom Recreation, which put them at slightly better numbers than when they first started in 1997, Jones said. That year he opened the business after visiting his wife's sister in St. Louis on the day they were going to buy a swing set. He noticed some swing sets at the store and had never seen any quite that nice before. He felt Evansville lacked a store that sold top of the line swing sets so he decided to open a store that did. He later moved on to selling other recreational goods like pool tables and arcade machines.
Jones said 2009 was the worst year in the last decade in terms of sales, which have picked up as the economy has improved.
For another vendor at the home show, while other places in his industry suffered, his swimming pool business was spared and maintained steady sales throughout the recession.
"We were very fortunate," said Doug Hudson, owner of Town & Country Pools. "I have friends in other parts of Indiana, and they're starving to death, and we're not seeing it here at all."
Hudson has rented at booth at the home show for 15 years and thinks the show is one of the best advertising vehicles for his company.
In 2008, Hudson made a decision when the economy crashed that he would tighten the company's belt and prepare for the worst, which never came. He decided to cut unnecessary spending, watch advertising and investment dollars closely, hold off on construction equipment purchases and put projects on hold. At the end of the day, the business saw no downturn of sales in the Evansville and Newburgh market and was often booked up several months at a time.
"People that do business with us are typically stable economically," said Hudson, who agreed that people that lost their jobs in the recession probably weren't going to buy pools anyway. "Our local economy is somewhat recession proof, I truly believe that."
Bryan Underwood, sales manager at Spa City U.S.A., feels more people are reinvesting their money into their homes and spending lump sums on big ticket items like spas. Instead of spending $5,000 on a weeklong vacation, families spend that money on home additions that last a lifetime, he said.
"With spas, they can keep them and use them everyday," he said.
Underwood said pools and spas were a little harder to sell in 2008, but the business didn't see drastic sales decreases. For the most part, customers stopped buying the more high-end spas with all the bells and whistles, some of which can run as much as $10,000, but opted instead for lower priced ones, he said.
"Price points have changed," he said. "People still want the nice, relaxing therapy of a spa, but don't want to spend too much."
Dallas Foster, who has owned a Vincennes, Ind., landscaping business for 33 years, has attended the Home Show for 20 years in an attempt to attract quality clients. Each year he gets several good leads, he said.
During the recession though, customers were "super conservative with their money" and his business felt the economic hurt strongly for several years. In 2011, business started picking back up again after Foster set out to be more conservative with money, much like his potential customers, as well as be more aggressive on marketing to new customers and his existing client base.
"More leads are coming in," he said. "People are letting lose more with their money as their confidence with the economy grows."

Lack of values has led to suffering, says Prema Pandurang.
Love God, have faith… Prema Pandurang's refrain echoes long after departure from Kshetropasna, Gokuldam. Her emphasis on sharing, a trait on the wane, puts things in the right perspective. "Giving has stopped," she regrets.
"It is depressing to hear of violence, murder and assaults, which have become common place. My heart goes out to the victims. But what are the reasons? Intolerance, greed and there is no bonding, even among family members."
Premaji cites the Ramayana as a great example of bonding. "Dasaratha's sons stood together in crises; in spite of Kaikeyi's betrayal, she was not ostracised, Sugriva was steadfast in his friendship and so on. Our scriptures have everything, only they are not accessed."
What is the panacea? "Love," states Prema Pandurang, who started speaking of Krishna when she was in her teens. "Control anger, learn to be content, things will fall in place," she says. "Yagna, dharma and tapas… these are the three actions Krishna wants us to pursue. Set aside just one-tenth of your income for charity, you will be touching so many lives. Pray and have faith in Him, there will be no grief," she adds.
But even those who have faith were apprehensive about December 21? The preacher replies: "Abhimanyu is lying dead. Everybody, including Arjuna, is sobbing. So is Krishna. To the surprised onlooker He says, 'All my teachings to Arjuna have gone in vain.' You can imagine the plight of ordinary mortals. But it is faith that is going to keep you afloat. One who has faith does not fall into depression or resort to suicide."
She should know. Premaji weathered the storms that life threw at her to attain this stature. "The tribulations strengthened my faith in Him. Is gold not burnished to shine so beautifully? It was 21 years ago that I stepped into this place and I did not dream that one day Kshetropasna would become a shelter of this nature. I have no bitterness, there is no rancour, it all happened to a plan, His plan. He fashions His tools and my heart brims with joy."
"Learn to thank the Lord and people for favours big and small" is another dictum. The attitude of gratitude develops humility that again is vital for peace.
Premaji indeed exudes optimism. "Do you know that a humble farmer gave me a piece of this property for an advance of Rs. 1,000," she asks. "That was all the money I had. The next day, when some one approached him with suitcases containing lakhs of rupees, he refused to touch it. 'I have taken advance from Amma and given my word,' he told them. What honesty! There are such good souls even today. May be they are outnumbered, but one day, there will be a turnaround."
An early indication of her calling happened when she was 15, at Tirupparaiyar in Kerala. She was a regular at the pravachanam of Sri Sengalipuram Anantarama Dikshitar from the age of 10 and one day he announced, "This child will now speak on Krishna Bhakti." "I was taken aback," says Premaji. "But I spoke and have not looked back." She has travelled the length and breadth of the country and crossed the shore to spread the message of the Bhagavatam.
"I had the fortune of meeting Prabhu Pada, who blessed me. Putting a garland round my neck, he said, 'Go, Gopi, spread the magnificence of the Bhagavatam all over the world!'" The words proved prophetic. A professor of English, Premaji opted for voluntary retirement to immerse herself in the treasure of Krishna bhakti. Emerson and Hemingway flow freely in her talk.
Why English? It is the educated and elite, who commit crimes and are involved in scams at the national level. The message should penetrate their ego and arouse their conscience.
"The Lord has blessed me in several ways," continues Premaji. "I lecture in Hindi fluently but do you know that I never mastered the language? His grace and gurus' blessings. Again, my singing. I always longed to sing, the best way to capture hearts. Wouldn't it be heavenly to sing His praise? But years of classroom teaching had made my voice hoarse and I had no training. Then one fine day, I started singing, the stanzas just pouring out. So far I have composed about 400 bhajans. I have no clue about the raga or tala."
"Krishna, please come… I'll spread flowers on your path and welcome you… I have no kith and kin, except you… Come with your music that is a mixture of honey and candy…" so goes the song Premaji sings, soaked in her love for Murali.
"Pt. Ravishankar once asked me to sing and when I retorted why a maestro like him would want to hear my humble songs, he said, 'Your songs are composed by Him.' So true. I can't take the credit for any of this. He fashions His tools."
In Montreal, where she was presenting a lecture, among the audience was a young mother, whose baby was incessantly crying. "I took the baby in my arms and softly sang, 'Govinda Damodara Madhaveti…' the beautiful sloka of Bilvamangala Takur. Leaning on my shoulder, the child had gone to sleep. The mother exclaimed, 'I attended all the seven days of your discourse when you came here a year ago. I was pregnant then. The child seems to have recognised your voice!'
"She was right. Don't underestimate the power of pre-natal vibrations. Prahlada is not a figment of imagination. Communication begins in the womb. Women should speak of good things and listen to auspicious things when they are expecting babies. Positive energy will flow."
A small group of boys pushing a trolley of vessels greets her and the Mother reciprocates with the query whether they had their meal. "I started my mission with a few slum children. They happily shared whatever little I could offer (generally a glass of milk and some curd rice) them in those days. The practice continues, only the number has increased and the meal is more wholesome."
Prema Pandurangan's ultimate aim is to found a College of Values. "Because that is the most neglected subject and that which can put the world on the right path. With His grace, that should materialise.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiThe rotating door of Clayton County schools administrative positions continues. The most recent departures only add to the list of departures in recent months. A wave of departures and retirements hit the school system in May and administrators continue to leave. The school system named Claire Boyce principal of Forest Park High School in August and replaced her earlier this month, less than two months after being named to the position. The school system refuses to discuss personnel matters and thus gave no reason for the removal. Bill Horton, who served as acting deputy superintendent under interim Superintendent William Chavis, announced his retirement from the school system. "A lot of factors are coming together to make it a good time," Horton said. Pulliam moved Horton to principal of East Clayton Elementary School when she took over the system in February. It was just the right time to leave, he said, explaining that it's financially best to retire now because of how the school retirement system works. After 37 years in the school system, he wants to take some time off, although he has "toyed" with the idea of starting a poultry farm. "I may not do anything for a few months," Horton said. "It pleases my wife because she's been after me to retire. If there's one person in the world you listen to, it's your wife." Chief Financial Officer Lee Davis left the school system after 15 years to work in the finance department of another school system. Douglas Hendrix was named the interim principal of Adamson Middle School at the October meeting of the Clayton County Board of Education. The departures come on the heels of other senior administrators leaving. In June, the system hired Charles White to be the coordinator of public affairs and community development. Lynda Daniel was named principal of Harper Elementary School. Brenda Grier was placed as principal of Kemp Primary School. The system put Beverly Garner as principal of Kendrick Middle School. Cindy Brictson was named principal at Smith Elementary School. As of May, four assistant superintendents announced their departures, along with a number of other senior level positions, since the start of the year. Judy Johnston, assistant superintendent of secondary curriculum and instruction, left the school system to be the assistant principal of Cotton Indian Elementary School, a school in the Henry County school system. Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Ed Scott retired along with fellow members of the personnel department, Director of Certified Personnel Bill Bibby and Director of Classified Personnel Diana Forbes. John Ramage, assistant superintendent of facilities, construction and purchasing, retired in April and Ronnie Blake, assistant superintendent of auxiliary services, announced his retirement shortly afterward. Coordinator of Elementary Math Laura Grimwade also left the school system.

Early toehold on land
A five-toed fossil now holds the record for smallest, oldest foot ever found
By Stephen Ornes, 15:02 PM March 20, 2012
Life on Earth began in the water. But at some point in ancient history, animals dried off and started living on land, too. Scientists can't travel back in time — yet — to see when it happened, but they can get hints from fossils. Those are the remains of animals, plants and other organisms preserved in rock. Fossils are a window on the past, and they can help us understand how modern life began.
The discovery of an ancient, five-toed fossil offers new clues on when four-legged critters sta...

#1 ($400) 45 in a 35 on main street by my house, had always been under the impression that the main streets around here are all 45mph speed limits
#2 ($200)Wearing only the bottom portion of a seatbelt as a passenger, (it was a old t-bird with the electric seatbelts where the top portion tries to cut your head off if you actully wear it.
#3 ($500) Riding a perfectly controlled wheelie down the street at 15 mph when people fly down that street at 45 all the time.
If you think any of that warrents making me feel like a POS that needs to reflect upon myself and my actions you are a NAZI.
I was wondering how long till the name calling began. I've had many tickets over the years and I deserved every one of them plus hundreds that I never received. My comment about option #2 was made in jest, but obviously struck a chord so I apologize if I hurt your feelings. I never said you should feel like a POS so please don't put words in my mouth; I only said that you should take responsibility for your actions. I personally feel better for standing up and being responsible than I would trying to blame someone else for the problems I created.
We're all different though, only you can decide what your standards are.

Everyone knows the traditional story of Robin Hood. Take from the rich and give to the poor, but the movie done by Ridley Scott starring Russell Crowe is a completely different take on this old English legend. Not only are Scott and Crowe and awesome combination of film making, but I really liked the idea that they gave Robin Hood a whole new spin which was surprising because when I first heard that they were doing another Robin Hood movie, one would think that it has just been way over done. It was the pre-story of who Robin became the legend he is today with allowing for all the characters that we know and love.
As for how it holds up to the rest of the Scott/Crowe film legacies, it's not my favorite movie. There are some slow moments where you wish there was more action and I thought the last battle scene didn't deliver the umph that some other scenes have such as movies done like Gladiator, and Kingdom of Heaven, but where it made up in action, the acting it's self was wonderful. Crowe delivers another wonderful and believable performance. I like how he was joined by Scott Grimes, who plays Will Scarlett and Kevin Durand playing little John. Both these actors having played with Crowe before in Mystery Alaska. They all work well together and was fun to see them joined up again.
Kate Blanchett, while not always my favorite and I was having a hard time thinking of her as the fair Maid Marion also was a wonderful surprise to me. They made her tough and willing to fight but also giving her that feminine side as well. I have really enjoyed her films where she played Elizabeth, so I really figured out that she was a good fit within this particular movie.
All in all it was a very watchable and enjoyable movie to watch and of course I will buy it when it comes out to add to my Russell Crowe Collection.

Letter From London
Early on Saturday morning two brothers scaled the cliff face of Big Ben with a Greenpeace banner reading "Time for Truth" and stayed there for seven hours. Their feat got the day's protests onto the front pages and hammered home the truth that's been tormenting Londoners since the Madrid train bombings: no amount of security can guarantee our safety from a terrorist attack and, as the media remind us every day, London may well be next.
The shadow of Madrid hung over the marchers in more ways than one. In spitting rain and gusts of wind that threatened to tug the banners from their hands, thousands (police estimate: 25,000, organizers' estimate: 100,000) gathered once again in Trafalgar Square under the slogan "No More Lies," to reiterate their opposition to the war and to commemorate the dead of Iraq and Spain with a flight of black balloons. Everyone I spoke to believed that Blair's Iraq adventure was a dangerous diversion from the struggle against terror and has put us at greater risk. But apart from the odd placard reading "Aznar down, Blair next," neither that insight nor Britain's foreboding has yet found much expression in the theater of protest. A year on, in spite of having been proved right about so much, the movement finds itself at an uncertain turning point.
Inevitably this year's crowd was more hardcore than before; both the creative and the callow stood out from the mass of "ordinary people." A group from Birmingham wore Guantanamo-style orange boiler suits to call for the release of British citizen Moazzem Begg; a British offshoot of the American group Codepink protested mines and cluster bombs with Day-Glo feather dusters. Red flags and close-typed hand-outs proclaimed the joy of sects and imminent world revolution. But the union banners were still there, with fewer people under them; the families and CND veterans marched on, although depleted. A London teacher explained how hard it's been to address students' disappointment that their voices have been ignored: "For a lot of young people it's been quite a bitter lesson but I think the movement's going to go on because of that."
The problem is, go where? In Spain and in America the war was launched by governments of the right, easy to rally against. But in Labour Britain there's a far deeper sense of pessimism and betrayal. One man's handwritten placard read, "Get rid of Blair. Brown wouldn't have lied to you." Asked if he really thought that, he just shook his head.
A group called RESPECT: The Unity Coalition has been founded by Stop the War organizers to fill the vacuum and be the movement's "political wing"; it's putting up candidates for the European Parliament and the Greater London Authority, and attracting some support at local meetings. A former Labour councillor from Liverpool who'd left the party over the war was marching under its banner; he said he wanted to be part of a broad movement of environmentalists and peace campaigners as well as socialists. But it's much too soon to tell where any of this might lead. Mostly Londoners are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The responsible procurement of industry-specific raw materials such as gold and diamonds is a priority for the Group. Historically, for the luxury goods industry as a whole, there have been issues surrounding the sourcing of gold and diamonds, as these are often mined in regions affected by conflict or instability. Therefore, our long-term goal is the traceability of all raw materials used in our products. We understand many of the challenges associated with achieving full traceability and will work closely with our suppliers and industry partners towards that goal.
Our approach
Our Model Supplier Code of Conduct sets out our position on the following issues.
Responsible gold sourcing
As far as possible, Richemont requests its suppliers to provide assurance that the gold being supplied has been mined in a way which respects human and labour rights and the environment. We continue to work with suppliers and refiners in this respect to seek to improve controls over the supply chain, where possible.
We continue to work closely with the Responsible Jewellery Council (`RJC´) to help improve the gold supply chain. In addition to this industry-wide approach, we work with our gold suppliers to strengthen the inclusion of ethical criteria at all levels of our gold sourcing supply chain. Membership of the RJC promotes a robust approach to these supply chain issues for our Maisons and other businesses in the jewellery industry, from mines to retail.
Conflict-free diamonds
Richemont is committed to ensuring that the diamonds we use in our products have not been used to fund conflict or terrorism. We adhere to responsible diamond procurement practices. Since 2003, the international trade in rough diamonds has been governed by the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme which requires all rough diamond exports and imports of participating countries to be documented, uniquely certified and approved via a government bureau, in order to put an end to the trade in conflict diamonds.
All diamonds purchased by Group companies are Kimberley Process compliant. Moreover, we require our suppliers to comply with the 'System of Warranties', a continuation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme which also applies to polished diamonds. This is a voluntary system, created by The World Diamond Council, and relies on the creation of a chain of written warranties - from original Kimberley Process certificates through to invoice - of all transactions involving the purchase and sale of diamonds, their cutting and polishing. Compliance is closely monitored.
Recognising the concerns raised by certain observers of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in respect of mining activities in the Marange region of Zimbabwe, Richemont's Maisons have instructed their suppliers not to supply diamonds to them from that region.
Endangered or protected species
We require suppliers to comply with international and local legislation, e.g. the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species ('CITES'). Maisons are also working to achieve a better understanding of their supply chain in this area.
Leather finished products
Suppliers involved in leather products manufacturing are expected to adhere to the European Leather Association ('COTANCE') policies.
Other areas
Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Piaget stopped purchasing precious stones which may have been mined in Myanmar.
In addition, we have policies for perfumes and cosmetic products, animal testing and product information and labelling.

This presentation by Paul Nicklen is possibly the best TED talk I've watched - - funny, fascinating, well-delivered, and supported by tremendous photographs. Among the interesting factoids: The ice he regularly dove in was so cold that he typically vomited each time he hit the water. National Geographic's informal motto is "we publish photographs, not excuses." And unless I heard wrong, one of the whales pictured in the video is believed to be 250 years old.
But most of all, the leopard seal stars as a fearsome (as in, sometimes they eat people), but sometimes charming creature.

Ronald Lutz purchased this house in 2013
We love this area, it is a small town feeling with big city amenities. We love the desert and in particular the Cat City Cove. We have been searching for that perfect property for some time now and this one fits the bill. Spacious nice house with a secluded and private courtyard.
The views are fantastic here. There are no street lights and the night skies glisten with the stars. The neighborhood is quite and friendly, and it is so cool to be able to see the light at the top of the tram from our kitchen window and back courtyard.
Just spent a couple of weeks in Palm Springs and this house accommodated 4 adults nicely. The house is in a nice area and has easy access to airport and all major roads. Home was maintained but of course had a few things that could have upgraded such as pool furniture and landscaping completed. Pool area is very private. Ron the owner is incredible and Mario, the contractor that looks after the property is pretty incredible too. they both made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.

Experienced Crew for Daysails/short trips? SW FL
Hello all,
I live in the Fort Myers area. I have over 3500 nm of bluewater experience but it is all on traditionally rigged vessels(schooner and herm. brig). Sailing is my passion, but I do not have my own boat. I am easy to get along with, and always eager to learn more.
I am looking for daysails anywhere in SW FL, I will drive up to sev. hours for a sail. My work schedule rotates so contact me for days available, 2 day trips may be possible; but would prefer to daysail with you first to get to know you and vessel.
Thank you all for reading!
I'm a new sailor, I just acquired a '75 Cape Dory 28. I'm currently in Marathon getting the boat ready to sail. If you're hip to sail with a new sailor I'd welcome your company. Let me know...
Hard to say right now, not likely. I will likely leave the boat somewhere in Florida though.

Deer Hunting Science May One Day Help Diabetics
April Flowers for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
A deer hunter's worst enemy is body odor because it alerts prey animals that a predator is near. The science behind suppressing body odor to give hunters an edge, however, could help researchers develop a life-saving device for diabetes patients, according to a study presented at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) this week.
"The scent of a single person is a complex mixture of hundreds of compounds given off by bacteria, which live in our bodies and on our skin," said Shamitha Dissanayake, a Mississippi State University graduate student who gave the presentation. The human body itself also creates scent compounds that are emitted through the skin and breath when it breaks down molecules to make energy.
The scent compounds, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), evaporate easily in the air. Dissanayake worked with Todd Mlsna, PhD — Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry and head of the laboratory — to figure out the best way to collect and analyze VOCs from body and breath odor.
The final goal of Dissanayake and Mlsna's research is to use VOC detection for monitoring and diagnosing diseases. Their expertise, however, led to a unique collaboration with Bronson Strickland, PhD, MSU Associate Extension Professor in Wildlife Ecology and Management.
"The hunting community, the deer hunters in this case, are always looking for ways to beat the deer, so to speak, in terms of scent control," Strickland said. "A deer's sense of smell, like a dog's, can be anywhere from five hundred to a thousand times more acute than a human's."
The researchers say that figuring out which specific ingredients of body odor spook deer is challenging for several reasons. Every person gives off a unique scent, and that scent can vary depending on what food and drink they ingest, and how they exercise and rest. They collected body odor samples from 65 subjects to begin addressing these challenges. Over a four hour test period, the participants wore either an untreated T-shirt, or a T-shirt treated with a commercial spray designed to eliminate or mask a hunter's body odor. Eliminating body odor was once achieved with natural products such as skunk urine. For this experiment, the researchers chose four products out of dozens on the market.
"It was a big challenge to handle such a complex data set with so many variables," he said.
A mathematician was recruited to tailor a data-crunching program for the study's needs. This analysis showed that the sprays worked by greatly reducing the levels of 29 key compounds, either by killing the responsible bacteria, binding to the chemicals or converting them into less volatile compounds. The research will continue by seeing how deer react to each of these 29 candidates.
The team found that the techniques and analytical instruments they used to investigate deer-alerting odors overlapped significantly with their methods in another area of the lab's research: diabetes alert dogs.
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is a condition in which the body does not produce insulin, with an estimated 3 million affected in the US. As a patient's blood sugar rises or falls, they emit a different set of VOCs in their breath, which animal trainers have taught dogs to smell. Such changes can cause a number of symptoms including seizures. Some patients have already been saved hundreds of visits to the hospital by the keen sense of smell dogs possess. Such dogs are expensive, however. They require a lot of care, and they can become fatigued. The researchers hope to translate their work into a portable electronic nose to do the work of the dogs', without rest.
"It's exciting to work in this field," Mlsna said. "We now have the combination of the analytical power and the computing power to really make sense of all these complicated data."

Inquirer Southern Luzon
Snapshots of southern Luzon's spirituality
Tired of fast-paced city life, a group of seasoned photographers now have sprawling mountains, a vast lake, a university and bucolic towns for subjects that tell much about the unique "spirituality" of southern Luzon.
Los Baños-based photographers have formed Quadro, a photo collective that captures and documents scenes from the province. The group's original members are photojournalist Alex Baluyut, 56; travel photographer Al Benavente, 39; conceptual photographer Chris Quintana, 33; and street photographer Clifford Nuñez, 29. (Benavente and Quintana are both working at the International Rice Research Institute.)
Visual journalist Rocel Ann Junio, 24, later joined the pack.
"It is a community-based, small town art movement that captures the very rich and profound religiosity, cultural activities and heritage (of Southern Tagalog)," Baluyut said.
'Decentralizing' photography
With a collection of 25 photos of diverse subjects, Quadro opened its first open-air exhibit on Dec. 7, mounting waterproofed images at the Carabao Park near the entrance of the University of the Philippines Los Baños. The exhibit runs until Dec. 22.
"There are no quick and fast rules (in the group). We expand our work and express ourselves to make (the photos) more compelling and interesting to people," said Baluyut, who just moved in from Manila in February.
Quintana's works, for instance, included photographs of a community along the Laguna lake, while Junio's captured moments from bars outside the university. Baluyut presented a "documentary" of his family finding its new home in the rustic town.
Quadro aims at tapping the rich pool of talents, especially of the younger and passionate photographers, in the provinces.
"It could be very tiring to keep on seeing the works of photographers from Manila. There are also a lot of good photographers in the provinces. We just need to find them and give them the chance to exhibit their works," Baluyut said.
Baluyut, who is also a founding faculty member of the Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism's Diploma in Photojournalism at Ateneo de Manila University, called this "decentralizing" the Manila-centered art photography in the Philippines.
"It's looking at the Philippines from the eyes (of photographers in the provinces)," he said.
The availability of digital cameras and Internet access play roles in setting the direction for photography in the Philippines.
"You can quickly upload photos on the Internet. In fact, you can be your own (photo) bureau, but the challenge is how to package it for people to visit your site and buy your works," he said.
Quadro plans to hold exhibits in other parts of Southern Tagalog and give workshops to young and aspiring photographers.
The "backbone" of the current trend of Philippine art and documentary photography, Baluyut believed, are the province-based photographers. "Only that their roles are downplayed and they are given less importance," he added.

Claude Julien: Net-front presence is a 'mind-set'
|04.15.11 at 1:25 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien did not have trouble identifying one of the main reasons the Bruins lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. The team struggled to establish a presence in front of Carey Price throughout the 2-0 loss, as the Habs' defense tightened up and power forwards such as Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton failed to make an impact.
"We spent most of the night with the puck, but at the end of the night, we didn't get the results. That's probably the thing that sticks out the most. We just have to make some adjustments and understand that if we're going to score goals, we've got to pay the price a little bit better around the net.
"We've got to be a little better down low, and stronger on the puck," Julien said after Friday's practice. "Part of it was that, but part of it was that we know we have to be a little bit more involved. Some of the net-front presence is not necessarily something you have to practice more than it is a mind-set. If we commit ourselves to going there, we'll get there. Sometimes you have to work through it because they're doing a pretty good job of boxing us out."
The B's did not appear to be down on themselves on Friday despite the loss. Many players pointed to positives of Thursday's game both after the contest and after Friday's practice. Julien sees the reasons for optimism, but he expects more from all of his skaters.
"I think we all know that although we played a decent game, we can all be a little better. As a team, we feel that we can be a little better. That's basically it, and that's to a man."
Price made 31 saves in the shutout victory, while the Habs blocked 20 shots.

It appears to be a strange case of a private firm spurring a government body to seek a captive coal mine.
In December 2006, the government body — the 38-year-old Pondicherry Industrial Promotion Development and Investment Corporation (PIPDIC) – had apparently no idea to seek a coal block until it received an "unsolicited offer" from the private firm — J R Power Generation Private Limited (JRP), which had no prior experience in coal mining or power generation — for a coal mine development project.
In a matter of weeks, PIPDIC took a formal decision to approach the Coal Ministry for allocation of a block. A week later, it submitted a formal application to the Ministry, seeking allotment of coal block equivalent to 530 million tonnes (MT). On the same day (January 17, 2007), the Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with JRP, a company owned by the family of S. Jagathrakshakan, now Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, without carrying out a techno-economic feasibility study of the project and ascertaining technical capabilities of the private firm.
These form part of the findings of a statement of fact sent by the office of Principal Accountant General (Economic and Revenue Sector Audit) to the Puducherry government, seeking comments. The Hindu has a copy of relevant portions of the statement titled "Procedural lapses in applying coal blocks resulting in extension of undue favour to private party."
Political controversy
Ever since PIPDIC signed the MOU with JRP, the deal has been a subject of political controversy in the Union Territory of Puducherry, which is situated thousands of miles from coalmine fields of the country and with no major power plants. But the agreement has gained greater curiosity with the availability of more information.
Information gathered by this reporter revealed that it was at the instance of the private firm that PIPDIC, in January 2007, opted to seek allotment of coal block equivalent to 530 million tonnes under the Government Dispensation route [through which identified blocks are allotted to Central/State Public Sector Undertakings or Enterprises]. When the firm had made the unsolicited offer, there were 748 applications of private parties lying with the Screening Committee, an inter-ministerial, inter-governmental body to give coal blocks to such parties.
As part of its offer, JRP would carry out, at its cost, the entire work from prospecting to mine development.
By agreeing to it, even before detailed exploration, PIPDIC had to give up its opportunity to avail of more competitive options with regard to mining, coal supply and setting up of power plants.
When the Coal Ministry gave its in-principle consent to PIPIDC for 250 MT of coal block in July 2007, it had also given a similar allotment in favour of Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC).
There was a specific stipulation that mining of the coal block be carried out either jointly by PIPDIC and GMDC or by forming a separate government company for the purpose. Three months later, PIPDIC signed another pact with JRP for coal supply.
As part of JRP's offer, PIPDIC had to sell the entire extracted coal to the projects nominated by JRP and in return, would be entitled to receive a minimum of Rs 25 per tonne, which was later increased to Rs 30 per tonne for 30 years.
This was far less when compared to GMDC's agreement with a private firm for the Morga-11 coal minefield in Chattisgarh, which ranged between Rs 70 and Rs 140 per tonne, according to audit scrutiny of the deal.
Sensing that the deal was not on a strong wicket, as early as in September 2008, the then Lieutenant Governor Govind Singh Gurjar wrote to the government suggesting a review of the agreement with JRP, a recommendation that PIPDIC chose not to take. Since then, the Opposition All India Anna Dravida Munntera Kazhagam had been demanding a CBI enquiry on the deal.
The Principal Accountant General's office has also asked the government agency to explain how it accepted, in April 2008, JRP's selection of KSK Energy Ventures as the partner without ascertaining the procedure and shareholding.
A top Puducherry government official said the observations made by the Principal Account General's Office were based on an initial assessment. "They are not final. We have sent our response to the charges. We have only followed what most of other State governments have done in the coal block matter."
In response to a questionnaire sent to Mr Jagathrakshakan via e-mail, the Minister's personal assistant told The Hindu over the phone from New Delhi that the Minister did not wish to comment further on a matter which he had already clarified.
In his statement a few weeks ago, the Minister denied using his official position for the purpose and claimed the relevant agreement was signed long before he assumed office. Before filing nomination for the 2009 Lok Sabha election, he had resigned as director and stakeholder of J R Power, Mr Jagathrakshakan had said.

Innovations made at the size an atom
NORMAN — Daniel Resasco donned protective eyeglasses and walked into the laboratory of SouthWest NanoTechnologies on Monday morning to show off the process by which carbon nanotubes are made.
Technicians were monitoring "reactors" in which the company's patented catalytic process creates tiny carbon nanotubes that are finding their way into a multitude of consumer and medical products. Carbon nanotubes are expected to be widely used in various composite applications because of their strength and light weight, as well as their ability to conduct electricity. Resasco invented the process that creates the single-wall carbon nanotubes that sell for $500 per gram. He was honored earlier this month by Small Times magazine as one of five finalists for its Innovator of the Year award. As his "CoMoCAT" catalytic process created nanotubes in nearby reactors, Resasco provided a glimpse into how the tiny technology will be used in the future. "They will be used in thin film transistors, on the order of one nanometer thick, a hundred thousand times thinner than a human hair," Resasco said. "In the medical area, these materials are fantastic because they absorb light and emit light with very precise frequencies." "So you can use them either as tracers because they can penetrate a human cell, and because they adsorb light so effectively, you can use them to kill (cancerous) cells without harming other cells." Resasco directed the University of Oklahoma research team that invented the "CoMoCAT" catalytic process and founded the company in 2001. He holds the Hilda and Douglas Bourne Chair of Chemical Engineering and a George Lynn Cross Research Professorship at OU. "We are the only one in the world that can make this particular semiconducting type (of nanotechnology)," said Resaco, now the chief scientist for the Norman company.

Not just one honorThe recognition recently received by Daniel Resasco, founder and chief scientist of Norman-based SouthWest NanoTechnologies, as one of five "Innovator of the Year" finalists by Small Times magazine is not the only honor the company has earned. In October, the SouthWest NanoTechnologies was one of 55 U.S. companies honored with the 2007 Tibbetts Award from the Small Business Technology Council. The company was selected from 17,000 companies that receive contract and grants under the Small Business Innovation Research Program. Business Writer Jim Stafford

Walter Mencken 11:47 a.m., May 30
Quiz time! Can you correctly identify all six Spider-Man eyes?

Time's up! Clockwise from upper left: The Amazing Spider-Man TV series, Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man movie (upcoming), The Electric Company, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3.
Your summer of superheroes: it never ends!
