Comments about Garmin Nuvi 1350T GPS:
I bought this online and picked it up at advanced auto parts in newport, vermont two days before christmas. When i went to pick it up they were out of stock even though online it said that they were in stock. The employees worked their magic and i picked up the gps the next day and still before christmas! Extremely impressed with the guys at newport advance auto parts! Thank you! When i opened the gps-of course i had to sneek a peek, i was surprised at how visually appealing the gps was! Sleek and silver! After papa opened his christmas present i turned it on and started playing with it, easy to use. The best thing is that there are canadian maps and usa maps! My parents travel frequently in canada and advance auto parts was the only local store where i could find a gps with canadian maps included! Thank you to the guys that made this happen!

Comments about Garmin Nuvi 1350T GPS:
If you want good function for a good price, buy this one. If you want a full feature, full price gps, get a more expensive model. Biggest problem is that the [*] power cord is way too short to run concealed. And you cant use a different cord, because the transceiver for the traffic is built into the cord.

Q:have garmin 1350 have for several yrs. still works great does garmin battery ever needs replacing ??
1 answer
A:Hi LOU, I'm glad to assist you! This unit does not have a user replaceable battery. If in the case the internal battery did die, the device will need to be exchanged. Please test the battery to see if it will fully charge. You have to charge the unit on a computer (in mass storage mode, showing the unit connected to a computer tower). You just leave it connected for 8-12 hours and unplug it from the computer, and power on without any power source. Check the battery indicator on the top right corner of the Where To/View Map screen. If fully charged, this indicator will be filled with a green color. If so, your battery is good and fully charged.

Puerto Iguazu, Argentina
My Rating
The bus seats approximately 52 people. You will spend at least two and half hours fetching and dropping people off. We were fetched at 8:15am, reached the park at 10am. If you have a single day at the falls this takes at least a quarter of your precious time spent staring at the front of hotels waiting for passengers. Guide rambled on in Spanish and barely understandable English, he was impersonal and discourteous. Although he wins no awards, it was tough to always lay fault with him as he had to herd around a massive bus load of tourist. A tough ask for even an astute guide let alone this inept one. While at the falls your join massive lines of other such tour groups, everyone pushing and shoving to get a picture or sneak a brief glimpse until you are pushed away. If you want to enjoy the falls, take a taxi(easily accessible, safe and reasonably priced) or small tour, go early, miss the crazy crowds. Easy to navigate the trails on your own.Take pesos and BR for entrance fees. Your money and time will be better spent that way. Return home with proper memories and photos, not regrets at feeling like a farm animal marauded around the falls with no respect for its' beauty or your once in a lifetime journey to witness its power.

My Rating
Just two of us with our guide, Daniel, on this walking tour. Daniel was knowledgeable, patient and kind. Involves a subway train ride, clean, new stations and trains.Then a short bus trip to Santa Teresa. Delightful authentic neighborhood, with multiple photo opportunities especially panoramic views of of the city, bay and sugar loaf mountain. Seleron steps is an unmissable attraction.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Big tour group but guide -JB- was well in control. Great to cut the lines to the cable car. You will spend some time on the bus, fetching and dropping passengers, depends where you hotel features on the bus schedule.
San Francisco, California
My Rating
The tour was just superb, everything went exactly as planned and our expectations were definitely exceeded.
First of all the tour group was small, bus seating a maximum of 13, with just 8 people including my wife and I. This made the trip much more personal, comfortable and enjoyable. Mike, our guide, was inviting and warm from the moment we were fetched. He exuded a calm confidence and his knowledge of and general guidance of the areas we visited was excellent. Mike stands out as a guide as he was always willing to help and assist with everything including taking our photos. He was ever patient yet kept us on time with incomparable resolve to ensure the group experienced the best of the of Yosemite. Our trip was made ever more unforgettable by his generous sprit and dedicated work ethic. I would advise that you visit Yosemite at least once in your lifetime. The park is an overdose of natures splendor at its grandest presentation, so much so that the mind battles with the eyes to comprehend the gorgeous vistas. No photo or picture can capture its grandeur or express the emotions that this place elicits, you must see it yourself. Advice, we stayed at Yosemite Lodge, which was clean and comfortable yet not unlike a standard lodge, the more expensive accommodation in the park may provide less traveling yet I suspect that the standard would be comparable to the lodge just at a higher price.
San Francisco, California
My Rating
Great tour, highly recommended. Exceptional tour at a reasonable price. After visiting a few cities in the US we vowed to never do the open top bus again. We were fortunate to get tickets to this tour, as we booked a day before and seems to sell ourt.The small group together with an excellent guide made for an enjoyable tour. Did truly feel like a friend was showing us around his town, replete with interesting music and snacks as we caught the best of San Fran.

Sold Out $35.99
2012 vintage is available for $30.99
Catena Alta Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
The nose offers ripe white fruit aromas such as pears and peaches that are interwoven with delicate citrus and floral notes, such as jasmine. The palate shows rich and concentrated ripe pear, apple and apricot flavors with a light note of minerality. The wine finishes long and complex with crisp, mineral acidity.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2010 Alta Catena Chardonnay includes just a touch of botrytis that Alejandro Vigil believes adds a little complexity. That is evident on the bouquet, which offers wild honey, jasmine, nectarine and crushed stone aromas that are well-defined. The palate has good weight on the entry, with subtle notes of orange zest, dried apricot, quince and shaved ginger. It builds in the mouth, delivering a very focused, intense finish that you could say, sits comfortably between Old World and New."
Catena Winery
Bodega Catena Zapata is one of Argentina's high altitude Malbec pioneers. The Catena family began making wine in Mendoza in 1902. Nicolas Catena, third generation family vintner, was one of the first to see the potential of Mendoza's mountain vineyards for producing high quality Malbec. In 1994, he became the first Argentine to exprot a world-class bottling of Malbec under the Catena label. Nicolas is joined by his daughter, Dr. Laura Catena, in their relentless pursuit of world-class quality from the family's high altitude vineyards. Laura has done extensive work in introducing Malbec and other varietal plant selections, soil and climate analysis, and sustainable practices throughout Mendoza. Head winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, has been at Catena Zapata since 2002 and works with Laura and Nicolas to make wines that express the family's vineyards and palate. View all Catena Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Laptop: Compaq Presario v6030 (AMD/nVidia based)
OS: FC6 x86_64
Video: Built-in GeForce GO 6150
Drivers: nvidia 9629
1) Install the nVidia video drivers.
Ok, so after this my machine boots up, loads into X with no problems, network works, system isn't crashing as long as I stay in X. However, now when I change to another console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) the whole system crashes and I need to do a hard-reboot.
Results of this Ctrl-Alt-Fx are either:
1) Get a solid coloured screen (usually Red) and the machine is just frozen.
2) Get an odd coloured screen (i.e. blue) with white text and the machine will crash in under 60 seconds (i.e. I might have just enough time to type in the username/password to log in).
I've heard of others having this same problem with HP laptops, but haven't seen a working solution yet. Everything else works great (there is an occasional crash on shutdown, but without this problem resolved I can't tell if it's related). I can use Direct Rendering, OpenGL, etc... but just can't switch to a console. I can not run the nv bug report tool after the crash as it is a hard crash (can not remote in from another machine).
I've tried about a dozen "potential" solutions, and still have yet to find one that actually works - so here I am looking for more ideas. Anyone?
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
If this problem perists with 1.0-9746 (1.0-9629 is no longer supported), then please generate and attach an nvidia-bug-report.log.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
This has been requested from me before. Can this log be generated after a system reboot to provide the appropriate information? There is no way to generate this log "after" a crash.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Yes, the bug report can be generated after rebooting, as long as X isn't started yet.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
1 Attachment(s)
I upgraded to the 9746 (apparently i had 9631, not 9629) and get different results!
Now, when I ctrl-alt-Fx to another screen, all I get is a black screen. It is no longer a full system lock up. This is a step in the right direction. I can type, even though i can't see what I'm typing. Because of this, I was able to run the nvidia-bug-report.sh in the console that wasn't working. :)
So, here it is.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Does this problem persist if you remove 'rhgb quiet' from grub.conf and reboot?
Have you verified that you're using the latest BIOS for the motherboard?
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Updated to latest kernel and reinstalled the drivers. Didn't help.
Removed rhgb quiet line from grub. Didn't help.
I have found that this is not restricted to just switching to a console anymore though. i don't get any display in a text console at all. Whether I 'init 3' or select to shutdown ('init 0'). As soon as the nvidia drivers are loaded once, I get a black screen on any console output forever more. The only way to get console output is to reboot the machine straight into runlevel 3.
This even occurs if I boot into runlevel 3, start x, then select to log off - I will just go to a black screen.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Have you verified that you're using the latest BIOS for the motherboard?
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Second to latest. I specify this just to rule it out. HP does not support BIOS update except from a windows utility. I did manage to track down phlash16 and gave that a try (after many hours of trying to get a dos boot - i have no floppy) - but it just complained about descriptor media or some such. It seems there will be no new bios updates unless I reinstall windows some day for some reason.
The good thing is that I'm not alone in this problem. Searching this forum, and others, I was able to track down other people with similar problems. For example, right here:
Though they do not specify their hardware. I know at least one other person on a different forum has an HP laptop with a GO 6150 though, so it seems this laptop is just the cream of the crop. (Hurray for cheap laptops!)
At least the drivers have slowly been making their way to usable:
8776: Computer crashes on X startup.
9625: First version that worked with "tweaks" before compiling.
9631: Computer crashes when Ctrl-Alt-Fx to other console.
9746: Computer black screen when Ctrl-Alt-Fx to other console (or closing X).
Seems like I'm only one version off for a perfectly working version.
I am happy to provide any other system logs that I can. It now seems that this isn't just for my use anymore, but for all those people getting black-screens. I will just be a little slow in my turn-around time as my laptop is unaccessible from my workplace.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
I have an HP/Compaq notebook here with a C51 (it has the latest BIOS), and I'm not able to reproduce this problem with FC6. When I VT switch, the console is restored and fully functional.
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
Ok, took me... a full week! But the bios is now updated to the latest and hopefully greatest and I never had to wipe linux from my machine (This was an exercise in ingenuity to say the least).
As suspected. No change. However, I did find out one thing. In my first ctrl-alt-fx test after upping the bios, I accidentally bumped the mouse. When I did this I saw a strange white streak across the screen - like the resolution or syncs weren't quite right. It almost looks like it's not restoring the appropriate ones when switching to a console or killing the x server. A step in the right direction at the very least. If this is the case, any suggestions on what to try?
Re: Crashes on console switch (HP/Compaq laptop)
I think I found a solution to ctrl+alt+Fn problems:
If you are using KDM, edit your kdmrc file (usually in /etc/X11/xdm)
and insert the line:
In all the blocks that contain -Core in their heading.
If you are using GDM try editing gdm.conf and put in the line:
Hope this helps!

A common argument in favour of neonicotinoids is that they provide economic benefits, and that alternatives are worse. But studies from the US, for example, show that yields of soybean don't benefit from dressing seed with neonicotinoids, which is standard practice. Given that farmers get advice from pesticide companies, it is reasonable to suppose that a good proportion of pesticide use may be unnecessary.
The European Food Safety Agency spent months evaluating the evidence and concluded that current use of neonicotinoids poses unacceptable risks. The UK parliament's Environmental Audit Committee agreed. Many non-governmental organisations, including the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds – normally very cautious – followed suit. What was once a radical stance is now where most informed opinion lies.
Perhaps the imposed mass field trial of a moratorium, which must be subject to an urgently arranged monitoring programme, will finally convince the doubters that neonicotinoids are at least partly to blame for the alarming decline of our most vital pollinators.

And so it begins...

November 8, 2012 - I stayed an extra day in Trujillo to buy and mount a front tire. I was glad I did, because the day after, it got put to good use.
From Trujillo I went direction Chimbote, from where I cut up to Cañón del Pato, after seeing a GoPro video of it from a fellow rider. It certainly proved to be a challenge, with hours upon hours of rough gravel roads, some parts with extensive damage from construction equipment.
The place was barren and rugged, with not a soul in sight a lot of the time.
The canyon walls at places overhang so much they are separated by a mere six meters. Spot the bike.
And tunnels, endless tunnels. All covered in fine sand with hidden ruts and nothing to provide any reflection. Single track, all of them, so honking profusely is the only way to get noticed as a bike. This is a small one. Some of them were just featureless black holes you offer your life to.
The ride ended in Huaraz, a place I had visited in 1996. Close to the main square I found a small hotel. I decided to stay a day and fix my speedo which had lost the magnetic pickup when I changed the tire. It rained pretty much constantly for the 36 hours I was in Huaraz. I left in the rain early in the morning and was rolling by 7:00 AM.
The ride to Huánuco was really varied but not technically challenging. Aside from a muddy detour for about a kilometer, it was all paved.
About half an hour out of Huaraz, I found myself at 4,000 meters - the highest point for the day ended up being 4,667 meters. To my left I had a nice view of the Cordillera Blanca.
The roads twisted and turned higher and lower all day, with lots of blind corners and looming truck traffic. No near misses, but it wasn't a place to gaze off dreamily in the distance for too long either. Numerous small villages scroll past your visor, women dressed in traditional outfits, cows lingering on the road while suspicious looks from small children follow you.
A lot of people are "chimping" their phones and don't even notice me ride by. Nobody escapes Claro and Movistar's influence, even here.
And then I came upon this.
The Toyota van I'd been playing tag with for most of the day. He was faster most of the time, but then I overtook him when he was letting people on and off at various points. The van was toast as the drive train was laying on the ground. The truck was going to need a bigger truck to get moving again. The van was pulled backwards, leaving enough room to skirt around, which everyone did at the same time, South American style.
Back in YVR after riding around the world for 2 years.

LONDON (ICIS)--The European August phenol contract price has decreased by €32/tonne ($42/tonne) following the same decrease in the value of major feedstock benzene, sources confirm on Friday.
The contract settled on a pre-discounted basis at €1,510-1,550/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
The upstream July benzene contract price settled at €946/tonne.
While another reduction in cost of benzene is a relief for the market, demand remains very low.
One producer said its demand felt even lower this week, adding that it thought many of its customers had high stocks of phenol in tank.
"Phenol demand is low, so that's a threat because I think everybody has really high stocks. All [named consumer's] Vopak tanks are full and it's the same for others," the producer said.
However, reports of high stock were dismissed by a major buyer as "crazy".
"I don't have high stocks - why should I? It would be crazy," it said.
"Nobody has stocks in a situation where benzene is falling. It's a terrible year for the industry. It's not just us. Phenol producers are struggling with low margins and there are no exports anymore from the US to Asia so it's difficult for them," the buyer added.
Phenol operating rates have been reduced for over on year now because of a lack of phenol exports to Asia, weak macro economic conditions and falling demand for major phenol derivative bisphenol A (BPA).

According to Bay Area radio host Tony Bruno, the Giants are "gutless #!@%*#," manager Bruce Bochy is a coward, and pitcher Ramon Ramirez is an illegal alien.
That's quite a lot of anger and political incorrectness thrown together in a single tweet, so we can understand why Bruno deleted it and promptly posted this apology on his Facebook page:
I did remove my post and apologize for my comments regarding illegal aliens. I was angry and on the air and I stand behind my comments that Bruce Bochy is a coward, as are all managers who order pitchers to throw at guys just because their pitchers can't get a guy out. All of you people resorting to name calling are more classless and vile.
With the Phillies leading 8-2, Ramirez drilled Shane Victorino in the hip during the sixth inning of Friday night's matchup, inciting a bench-clearing brawl.

Italian civil aviation authority ENAC has suspended budget carrier MyAir's operating licence, effective from midnight tomorrow.
The carrier had been operating on a temporary licence for about a month.
Following mounting disruption to MyAir flights, ENAC has decided that the airline could not "ensure coverage of costs for essential services".
MyAir has been seeking recapitalisation for several months, but its failure to land secure investment has been reflected in deteriorating levels of service.
ENAC's final warning, on 21 July, demanded that MyAir "restore the smooth operation of flights" within 24 hours.
Yesterday, however, several Italian airports were still reporting delays and cancellations to MyAir flights.
Summing up its decision for the "emergency" suspension, ENAC says the airline has "not provided concrete evidence" about proposed recapitalisation.
It has concluded that allowing MyAir to continue would only "aggravate" problems for the airline's customers.
MyAir was not available for comment but a statement on its Internet site confirms the ENAC decision, and that the airline is "obliged" to halt services.

An impromptu American-Iranian dialogue
- By Marc Lynch
Marc Lynch is associate professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University, where he is the director of the Institute for Middle East Studies and of the Project on Middle East Political Science. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. He is the author of The Arab Uprising (March 2012, PublicAffairs).
He publishes frequently on the politics of the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Arab media and information technology, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, and Islamist movements.
Talks between Iran and the P5+1 on the Iranian nuclear program are set to begin tomorrow in Kazakhstan after some eight months. The expectations game is in full swing, with American officials tipping an offer of a "clear pathway" to sanctions relief (which won't be easy) and Iran signaling a tough initial line. Few expect a breakthrough at the talks, but there is some hope that it might lay the foundation for more regular, ongoing negotiations on the core issues or even to direct U.S.-Iran talks. I don't know what's going to happen in Almaty. But at this weekend's Camden Conference in Maine, I at least got a preview of what the opening rounds of a direct Iranian-American dialogue might look like. It wasn't pretty. But it was a useful demonstration of the vast conceptual divide between the two sides which any negotiation will somehow need to bridge.
The preview came at the end of the first day of the conference. Shai Feldman of Brandeis University first presented a detailed, sophisticated account of Israeli strategic thinking about Iran (see here for a sample of his analysis on the Middle East Channel). He left the stage following his remarks, and was followed by Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator and currently a Research Scholar at Princeton University who presented a standard Iranian narrative of unjustified international suspicion and illegitimate international pressure (his December Carnegie Council presentation and today's FT column gives a sense of his talk).
But the anticipated Israeli-Iranian rhetorical standoff never materialized, because with Feldman off-stage the United States stepped forward instead in the person of conference moderator Nicholas Burns. (Take the symbolism of that as you will). Burns, a former under-secretary of state for political affairs and currently a professor at Harvard University, played a key role in American policy towards Iran at the State Department. When he sat down for the Q+A following Mousavian's presentation, he couldn't let certain parts of the Iranian narrative pass unremarked.
What followed was a rare and revealing public interaction between two retired officials who had played key roles in the policies of their respective governments but rarely had the opportunity to interact officially. Burns called out Mousavian on the Iranian government's support for terrorism, the broad international consensus on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Mousavian challenged Burns on the impact of sanctions, the underlying assumptions of the focus on the Iranian nuclear program, and Iran's legal right to peaceful nuclear energy and enrichment. (Oddly, the hostage crisis didn't appear in his historical narrative.) Why so much mistrust of Iran, wondered Mousavian; perhaps because the Iranian government has lied about its nuclear activities so often, countered Burns. If the Iranian government is so blameless, Burns suggested, why is it that the Security Council including Russia and China is united against it on these issues; they aren't, really, came the response. How could the U.S. justify the human toll of the sanctions on the Iranian people, asked an audience member; what other alternative is there to war if Iran will not deal with a unified international community, countered Burns (a sizable portion of the audience booed).
By the end, one frustrated member of the audience challenged both men on their radically divergent narratives: How, she asked, can anyone hope to resolve this issue if there isn't even a single set of agreed upon facts? That's a familiar problem in any polarized and entrenched conflict, of course, and hardly new to bargaining theory or practice. But it's still worth recalling and bringing to the forefront. The real issues standing in the way of a negotiated settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue are daunting enough: verification and timing issues; the fears and ambitions of regional players such as Israel, Turkey and the Gulf states; Iran's right to enrichment; the ongoing shadow war between the two sides; and very real questions about whether either Iran or the United States genuinely wants a deal or is capable of agreeing to or implementing one. But nobody should dismiss the significance of that added layer of mutual incomprehension and radically opposing narratives, and the cognitive or political incentives to keep them that way. If there's any real hope of reaching a deal, then at some point those pre-negotiations are going to have to begin.
This obviously isn't the first time that such exchanges between top former American and Iranian officials have taken place, so I don't want to exaggerate its significance. But it was fascinating to watch it unfold in public (similar encounters I've witnessed have all been at private, off the record events). Real talks, so urgently needed, will be carried out by people who think, talk and act very much like their highly professional and experienced former colleagues. In other words, as Burns told me afterwards, the conversation on the Camden stage probably looked something like the opening round of the real direct Iranian-American talks — especially if they are done in public: testy at times, exposing more disagreement than consensus, and not visibly changing any minds … but nonetheless a critical first step.

VX-30 Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 30 (AIRTEVRON THREE ZERO, nickname The Bloodhounds) is a United States Navy air test and evaluation squadron based at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California. Using the tail code BH, they are the only squadron currently supporting the S-3B Viking platform, as well as flying Lockheed P-3 Orion and the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, in support of the United States Navy's Sea Test Range, off the shores of central California.

Aircraft Flown[edit]
Current aircraft[edit]
VX-30 is one of the most diverse squadrons in the Navy today, as its flight line encompasses three different Naval Aviation platforms. Each one of these platforms is used in various Research Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of current and future weapons systems, which are being tested at Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division both at Point Mugu and China Lake.
C-130 / KC-130 Hercules[edit]
VX-30 uses the C-130 and KC-130 extensively as an aerial refueling platform for units that are conducting tests on the Sea Test Range, as well as for surveillance and clearance on during hazardous operations that are being conducted on the range as well. To this date, the squadron flies the oldest C-130s in active military history, dating back to 1957.
P-3 Orion[edit]
The squadron's most used aircraft is the P-3 Orion. These aircraft are used in conjunction with the testing on the Sea Test Range for surveillance and clearance, as well as providing telemetry data during missile testing. VX-30 also flies two of the fleet's only "Billboard" NP-3D, a P-3A that has been upgraded with a large billboard-esqe radar, that can provide over-the-horizon radar capabilities. The NP-3D aircraft were also used to support five NASA Space Shuttle missions using the Cast Glance optical system to monitor re-entry.
S-3 Viking[edit]
The newest acquisition on the flight line are the S-3 Viking. First appearing in late-2009, they are used for their surveillance capabilities on the Sea Test Range. Because of their agility and speed, they are able to much more quickly identify and locate various vessels which may impact the operations being conducted. In November 2010, VX-30 helped to celebrate the Centennial of Naval Aviation by sporting an S-3 with a paint scheme that dates back to aircraft that were flying during the Battle of Midway.[1][2]

Kidney Institute execs hit land sale
More News from DJ Yap
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The national Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) may have become a casualty of the multibillion development plan for the new Quezon City business district.
The hospital management on Tuesday cried foul over moves of the National Housing Authority (NHA) to sell portions of the land long occupied by NKTI to SM Development Corp. (SMDC) as part of the city's proposed business hub.
"The stand of the NKTI is very, very simple: Stop the sale. We want to reiterate our legal right on the use of the land. The sale of the land is illegal," the institute's deputy director for medical services, Jose Dante Dator, told the Inquirer.
Dator said the sale threatens to ''choke" the operations of the hospital, which sits on a 58,599-sqm property currently valued by the NHA at around P45,000 per square meter.
Parking for patients and hospital staff, for example, will be a big problem, he said.
According to Dator, the NKTI had drawn up its own plans for the development of those areas, including the construction of a medical arts building, but the sale put these plans in jeopardy.
He said the NKTI learned of the then impending sale of two areas—one covering 8,402 square meters and the other 7,932 square meters—only through newspaper ads published by the NHA in September.
One of the two areas is currently used as parking space while the other is the subject of a dispute involving alleged illegal settlers.
Located on East Avenue and adjacent to Elliptical Road fronting Quezon Memorial Circle, the 250-bed NKTI is an attached agency of the Department of Health, operating as a government-owned and -controlled corporation.
In 1984 then President Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Proclamation No. 2381 excluding the property as a national government center site and reserving private rights to the NKTI as a "usufructuary," Dator said. In civil law, a usufructuary is one who has the usufruct or the right of enjoying anything in which he has no property.
Dator insisted that NKTI continued to have the right to occupy the land. "They said they want to reclaim what is unoccupied space. But it's a must that we have a parking lot. Where will doctors, patients, relatives, suppliers trying to keep operations park? Will they park on East Avenue?" he said.
The Inquirer tried to reach NHA general manager Chito Cruz on his office number but was told by his staff that he was not available. The agency's information division also did not return calls when sought for comment.
The paper also sought a comment from SMDC, which was yet to reply at press time.
Dator also disclosed that until the publication of the Notices of Disposition, the NKTI and the NHA had been negotiating for the transfer of the land from the housing agency to the hospital.
"Several attempts to secure a separate land title were made by the previous directors of NKTI. However, NHA consistently refused to cede ownership without compensation," he recalled.
The NHA asked the NKTI to pay the market value of the land at P45,000 to P50,000 per square meter, but the latter proposed instead to pay in terms of medical services to NHA workers.
Dator said the two agencies had actually come to a tacit agreement on the mode of payment. In a meeting in mid-2012, he recalled, "they all agreed we will negotiate and that the compensation will be in the form of medical services."
Quezon City administrator Vic Endriga confirmed the sale, saying the two tracts of land were auctioned off by the NHA and that SMDC won the bidding.
In April, the city council approved an ordinance laying down a master plan for the central business district, a 250-hectare area composed of North Triangle, East Triangle and the Veterans Memorial Medical Center. The plan envisions five main sectors that will host commercial establishments, residential buildings, institutions, parks and recreational facilities.

Washington is broken. Three problems cry out for solution: the absence of responsible government; the role of money in politics; and extreme polarization.
All the other great democracies have governments that take credit when things go well, accept the blame when they go badly, and can be kicked out when they go very badly. Not so in the United States.
While there is plenty of blame to go around, the electorate has no way of knowing whether it belong to a president who prefers campaigning to governing, or to Congress that believes legislating is less important than ensuring the lease of current occupant of the White House does not exceed four years.
The chances of change are close to zero. The notion of the separation of powers is enshrined in the Constitution and in the hearts of the American people.
Elections are expensive because they are long. They do not need to be long. Elsewhere they take about six weeks, in Canada by law, and in Britain by customary usage. In this country their length cannot be limited because of a Supreme Court that tortures the definition of free speech.
Again change seems remote. Presidents, with the advice and consent of the Senate, can appoint new justices to the court when a vacancy occurs, but when they do so it is not usually on the basis of the appointee's views on the First Amendment.
Polarization results from a system of primary elections that ensure that congressmen and senators belong either to the right wing of the Republican Party, or to the left wing of the Democratic Party. Primaries were instituted because the people did not like their politicians being chosen in smoke-filled rooms.
But party leaders wanted to win elections, and to that end chose candidates with the broadest possible appeal, i.e. they chose centrists.
Here is a problem with the easiest solution. Primaries are not mandated by the Constitution. If they can be regarded as a noble experiment that has failed, then reform is possible.

"My experience at Gettysburg, and in particular the opportunity to study overseas, left me incredibly well-prepared to face the 'real world' after graduation," said Girman.
Gettysburg College Health Sciences Prof. Dan Drury authored an opinion piece that appeared in The Patriot News (Harrisburg, Pa.) Sept. 20, calling for a more proactive model for health care that would expand services provided by professionals to help prevent diseases before they require traditional medical attention.

West Brom striker desperate to make Premier League impact
West Brom striker Roman Bednar is determined to make an impact in the Premier League next season.
The 27-year-old scored a handful of goals the last time West Brom were in the English top-flight, and he wants to add to his tally next term.
"In this competition I have unfinished business because in the past I didn't play as often as I would have wished to," he told deniksport.cz.
"In 12 appearances I scored six goals and three of them were match winners. I wasn't satisfied with the number of opportunities I was given, so that is why I am now looking forward and hope that I will be playing regularly.
"I always say that the chance of me scoring is high as long as I play regularly. If I am regular then I believe the goals will come too.
"I want to become the best Czech scorer ever in the Premier League."

Tips for combating the insider threat
Wednesday - 3/14/2012, 6:19pm EDT
One of the fastest-growing security threats is the insider threat.
Hord Tipton, the executive director of ISC2 and the former chief information officer at the Interior Department, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the "red flags" managers should look for in the hiring process.
Tipton compiled a list of those warning signs in a post for AOLGovernment.
"In our rush to hire qualified people, we must avoid those candidates who are noticeably susceptible to life's pressures and who may demonstrate unpredictable behavior as a result," Tipton wrote.
Some of those red flags to "rogue behavior" include employees' opinions of hacking and how ambitious they appear to be.

Evergreen, Silver and Citron
December 10, 2009 | Category: Color Palettes
With all the fir trees, holly and ivy around during the holiday season, I thought Evergreen would be a good color to incorporate into a winter wedding palette. Metallic silver keeps it festive and Citron adds a little unexpected punch…
