Men are more likely to get osteoporosis than women
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Some alarming facts about osteoporosis: it does not have any symptoms, there is no cure and it does not exclusively affect women. Adult Filipino men, in particular, are susceptible to the disease by age 50.
These conclusions were recently presented by Anlene milk brand manager Erik Riola in the "Partners for Life" discussion at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. The data came from bone scans conducted on over 250,000 Filipino men from August 2011 to July this year.
Based on the results, the Anlene team found out that 43 percent of men ages 26-65 are "at risk" for osteoporosis. That means one out of five Filipino men over the age of 50 will likely suffer from a bone fracture due to poor bone health. These fractures usually occur on the wrist, spine and hip.
Anlene has been conducting free bone scans for the past years in malls, groceries and wet markets. This quick procedure is done by placing a foot in a machine with small balloons that inflate and lightly squeezes the heel. It is over in minutes, and results can be immediately seen.
One is then classified as high, medium or low risk. Anlene assistant brand manager Roberta Nicole Sadiua clarified that the bone scan does not diagnose osteoporosis, but determines if you are likely to have it.
Dr. Alex Pineda, Osteoporosis Society of the Philippines Foundation Inc. secretary general, quoted the World Health Organization definition of osteoporosis as a "skeletal disease defined by loss of bone mass and microdeterioration of bone tissue."
He emphasized that, while osteoporosis is a "silent disease" with no known cure, it could be prevented—and it's best to take precaution early.
"Osteoporosis is determined by factors such as genetic predisposition, which means it's hereditary, as well as age and sex," Dr. Pineda said. "Women produce estrogen which serves as a protecting factor against bone loss, so males are more predisposed to suffer from osteoporosis."
Smoke and drink
Dr. Pineda also said men who smoke and drink lose bone mass faster and should take extra calcium. He reminded that "prevention is a lot cheaper than cure, since surgery costs a lot."
Milk is a major source of calcium, a key mineral that keeps bones healthy, but Filipino men are not natural milk drinkers. Making men—and the entire family—drink milk usually depends on the woman of the house.
Couples Vince and Patricia Hizon and RJ and Vanessa Ledesma joined in the discussion to encourage families to lead an active lifestyle.
Patricia said it's her husband Vince, a basketball player, who initiates outdoor family activities.
"Vince is a Biology graduate and has been an athlete since he was young," she said. "We do together what people call 'hyperactive things'—running, swimming, biking, going to the gym, walking the dogs, hiking."
RJ and Vanessa, being full-time multitaskers, define their lifestyle as "99-percent on-the-go." RJ said he keeps "eight different jobs" (real estate developer, writer, host, among others) while Vanessa has always been juggling several tasks since she was single.
The vegetarian couple practices yoga and manages weekend markets that specialize in organic food.
"Being healthy is a wise investment," said Vanessa, who looked slim just months after giving birth to their second child. "How healthy the family is usually depends on the mother."
Patricia said being healthy has always been a part of her marital commitment. "Being a wife is keeping myself healthy, not necessarily sexy, so that I can spend more time with my family."
The two moms make sure their husbands and kids regularly drink milk to load up on calcium. As Dr. Pineda said, most families are more concerned about heart diseases, stroke and hypertension, but bone health should also be given attention.
Two glasses of milk daily are recommended for men and women, added Anlene marketing director Harvey Ong. Anlene comes in powder variant in chocolate and vanilla flavors, and in ready-to-drink tetra packs. It has vitamin D that promotes calcium absorption, and has been proven to reduce bone loss with continued consumption.
For kids, a fun way to drink milk is incorporating it into smoothies and shakes, added Sadiua. Anlene is also safe to drink while taking calcium supplements.

Recent Tasting Notes
another tea from Anlina that i had the other night. This one is a must try for coconut lovers. That being said, i'm not a HUGE fan of coconut as i find in tea blends that it goes rancid fairly quickly and sometimes the tastes is too intense. That being said, i can understand how folks who love coconut would enjoy this a bunch. It's creamy and chocoaltey and very much like a dessert tea. Sadly the coconut is too much for me to really love it. It's more personal preference than this being a bad tea. :)
I thought this one might be ok. I was wrong. there's something in this one that just doesn't work. In theory it sounds like a great idea but in practice – no thanks. Took one sip and refused to drink the rest lol. It's just not a great blending of ingredients and there's a weird note in it. Ah well, can't love them all!
This is a good brew. I can't taste any "tropics" though. I can mostly taste a flowery spring flavor. I can only hint at what I think to be pineapple. This is a great green tea; its refreshing and calm. I enjoy it, I believe this would fantstic if cold brewed in the spring.
Flavors: Flowers, Green, Pineapple
Millions of peaches, peaches for me! Millions of peaches, peaches for free!! I've been a little excited to try this tea; I've been having very good luck with flavored Oolongs. The leaves smell of a floral peach with undertones of oak. Upon brewing, the aroma uplifts and maximizes. The peach tones become tangy and almost syrupy. the actual flavor of the tea is unlike the aroma. It has a dominant woodsy and herbaceous flavor. I can then hint at the peach only in the aftertaste. I especially enjoy the undertones of grass and lemon. I do enjoy this tea quite a bit, it would taste even better cold brewed!
Flavors: Lemongrass, Oak wood, Peach, Smooth
I've been very forgetful about my tea while it's steeping. Sometimes it's because of a poopy diaper and other times it's because it took longer for me to get to the end of a chapter then I expected. Needless to say I did it with this one. Think this had about 7 mins of steeping time. Luckily it's not bitter… just more spicy. Which I don't entirely mind. I like spicy chai. Though I'm not getting many hints of vanilla too be honest. It's there just very subtle.
Let me try some Almond milk.
Ooo not bad! It maintains the spiciness of the chai but adds a nice flavor and kinda brings out the vanilla a bit more!
If you like the flavor of peach you need to try this. The peach is a total overwhemler. Oolong? Not so much. It's there, very subtly. This oolong reminds me more of a black tea because of it's earthyness. There is also a slight bitterness that I'm not too fond of.
This is one of the few teas that I will not drink without milk…it's just too spicy for me! With milk, it's an enjoyable chai with a strong spicy kick from the ginger and clove. The vanilla is present, but definitely takes a backseat to the spices.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, Spicy, Vanilla
Sipdown number three for the week!! Cold steeped in the fridge while at work for 12 hours today… sigh!! But at least I had this tasty treat waiting for me upon my return! I really wish this tea had more peach in it… although there are a couple of decent chunks of dried fruit in my sample the tea has a real mild peach taste. The tea isn't bad, in fact its quite refreshing and delicate however I was kinda hoping this would be a punch you in the face with peach flavor, cant live without you in summer iced tea blend for me… alas, I must keep looking… Thanks Inkling for the share!!
Sipdown of this very generous sample that Inking sent me in our recent swap. Since the weather is back up in the mid 70s today I decided that the best way to drink this would be iced. The tea itself is full of huge chunks of dried fruit, I definitely spy some succulent looking pieces of strawberry and apple but the kiwi seems to be AWOL…. Maybe it's just my sample. I brewed this up using my perfect tea maker and upon sipping noticed a decent punch of hibiscus however the sweetness of the strawberry seemed to balance the tartness well so I didn't need to add any sugar (although I'm sure a touch of sugar would make this delicious) however I didnt get any kiwi… This would be super refreshing during summer and I'm sure I'll pick some up once the weather gets into the 90s here (which I'm starting to think is going to be much sooner than I'm ready for!) so I can sip it round the pool… Thanks Inkling for sharing!
So with the Overboard TTB potentially making its way to me sometime in the next week I decided it was time to start sipping down some of my swaps and random samples to make room in preparation for the apparent monstrosity box!! I'm not usually a chai person and generally much prefer oolongs, blacks and greens but wanted to give this tea a go since it's an unusually cool and rainy day here in SoCal.
So for someone who really isn't a fan of chai this is almost the perfect balance of warm spice with some definite cinnamon, ginger and cardamom notes and a decent splash of milk helps to bring out the vanilla and add a touch creaminess. The spice is not overpowering and still lets the tea shine through which makes me happy on this winters day! Thanks to Inkling for sharing in our recent swap!
Cooking TTB #3
Another delicious sounding tea but with only a small amount of remaining leaves… Since this sounded so amazingly summery and cocktail like I decided that even with the small amount of available leaves that I just absolutely had to make this iced. Opening the bag I was immediately hit by the the scent of cucumber and mint, throwing it in the basket to steep I could hardly wait for my first sip!! A cocktail inspired tea at work… oooh, it seems so wrong but oh so right!!! Tasting it, the scent was spot on! Cucumber… mint… this would be amazing with a couple of springs of fresh mint… or even better, at home around the pool with a sneaky shot of white rum in the middle of summer…. mmmmm… summer!! Will definitely be picking up some of this once the weather starts to warm up!!! Delicious!!!
Flavors: Cucumber, Green, Mint
Inkling was super sweet and added this as a bonus in our swap and though I am not a lover of chai teas, I am happy to try anything that people are kind enough to share. You never know unless you try, right? Right. So I brewed this up as a latte.
As I sip, I am finding the addition of vanilla pleasant but not a strong enough element to cover up the chai spices that are just not my favorite. The ginger is quite strong in this blend which I think is what is competing with the vanilla most. Also, as the sip ends, their is a spicy kick from the cloves that is interesting though I don't know if it is a positive interesting or a negative one. On the whole, it was an alright cup but not something I will seek out again now that its done. Still, I am grateful to Inkling for the opportunity to not only try a new tea but also a new tea company. 184.
Parade of flavors
I add brown sugar with joy
Coconut truffle
Our fourth tasting tea, after a brief spat of playing dress up and going out to lunch.
This was a parade of flavors. First and foremost there was a definite black tea flavor followed by creamy cocoa, coconut, and the rest. Afterwards, a tea and husk flavor sits in the mouth with a breath of coconut. (And by breath of, I mean I taste it in my breath.) A bit of brown sugar added blends the flavors together so they're a party instead of a parade. The molasses brings out the cocoa and coconut meat flavors. A bit of milk is a terrible idea, as it drowned everything out.
The second steep was drinkable, almost good. I wouldn't try another. The liquor had a strong coconut scent, but none of the flavor. The sweetness of the honeybush was gone and there is a bitter edge that really brings out the tea flavor above the cocoa.
Flavors: Cocoa, Coconut, Tea
Decayed leaves with mint
As I steep again, again
Balance of taste shifts
Tea three of our tasting party. The dry mix had a strong chocolate and mint smell. The liquor smelled of wet leaves/tobacco with tinges of mint. It had a balanced taste with a nice refreshing mint finish. There wasn't really any cocoa flavor. We tried adding milk, which was a terrible idea. It did bring out some cocoa, but mostly it tamped down the mint and strengthened the decaying leaf taste.
The second steep had more cocoa and less wet leaf/tobacco scent. We decided that the taste was no better or worse than the first cup, only different. The flavor profile changes matched the scent changes: The wet leaf/tobacco flavor was less, which allowed a sweetness through that was nicely balanced by the mint.
We tried a third steep. It was drinkable, but kind of meh. Not recommended. There were more notes of cocoa and a slight sweetness in the aftertaste, but only a mere breath of mint.
Added sugar brought out no extra flavors.
Flavors: Cocoa, Decayed wood, Peppermint, Tobacco, Wet Wood
As warm, smells citrus
As cold, there is fruit
Both delightful—BUT
Steep two left us mute!
Tea two of our tasting party. The prominent smells of the dry mix were orange peel and lemongrass. The liquor was a dark rose color and had a strong lemon scent (and hibiscus, says my mother who knows what that smells like). The taste was "a hibiscus tart to start rounded by citrus and finished with a spice that Mom attributes to elderberries". We drank half our cups, then decided to put them in the refrigerator to cool while we did a second steep.
Cold, the smell was much more fruit/rose-y and the taste had more hibiscus pucker. The citrus flavor pretty much disappeared. Overall, we decided that cold it wasn't better, but it was more (and very) refreshing.
The second steep was horrendous. We did not get past a few sips. The color was a watery mauve and it basically tasted like warm rose & lemongrass water with an unpleasant astringency.
Flavors: Citrus, Hibiscus, Lemongrass, Orange Zest, Rose
Fall scents—leaves and spice
A dark butterscotch liquor
Chased away my sleep
I took advantage of the closing sale and ended up with 6 tins of Two Guy's Tea. So…I had a tasting party with my mother on my day off! It was the best day ever and took up way more time then we suspected it would— an average 1.25 hours per tea. xD This was our first one.
The dry tea itself was very spice-filled smelling. However, once we brewed it the suggested amount (3.5 mins), the smell was much more toned down. My mother decided that the exact color of the liquor was "caramelized sugar." The taste was a little disappointing after how strong the dry tea had smelled, but after adding a little milk (which brought out the tea) and brown sugar (which brought out the spices) it was a fine cup. This makes sense, considering that it's a chai and should have these things!
We steeped it again for 4.5 mins and got a stronger aroma with a spicier taste, which we both preferred.
I made this into a latte last night. I can see why others don't like it, but as a sweet, milky latte it was pretty tasty. Lowering my rating a bit, but still finding this one easy to drink. Lots of froth was nice.
3tsp, 96C, 12oz.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Orange Zest
Mmm, this is a nice chai.
The dry leave is small and twisted, with lots of cloves, chunks of ginger and cinnamon, with the occasional bit of green cardamom pod visible. The dominant notes on the nose are ginger, clove and vanilla.
I steeped 1.5tsp in 8oz of boiling water for 4 minutes. This yielded a really strong, bitter brew with a tart note of orange peel. Not something I would drink straight, but that's okay, because milk and sugar were my plan anyway.
A teaspoon of sugar and a good amount of milk mellowed the bitterness very nicely, transforming this into a warm and gentle tasting chai. There's no real kick to this – no heat or throat burn from the cinnamon or ginger, though the cinnamon flavour is definitely present. The clove and vanilla take a front seat, giving this a nice round taste and creaminess that's separate from the added milk.
Not my favourite chai – I tend to like them bolder and spicier, with some cooling spices like fennel and coriander – but this is different from the other chais I have and it's good.
Flavors: Bitter, Cinnamon, Clove, Creamy, Ginger, Orange Zest, Vanilla
This smells so good…just like Andes Candies! But once I brewed it, the chocolate disappeared and all I could smell or taste was the peppermint. It was a nice smooth, cool mint flavor, but I really wanted to be able to taste the chocolate. Also, I know rooibos tends to be very fine, but this stuff is like powder! I used an infuser with very fine holes, but still ended up with a ton of residue in my cup. A disappointment overall. But since I have a whole tin to finish, I'm thinking about adding extra chocolate to it and seeing if I can salvage it that way.
Flavors: Peppermint
This tea is a pleasantly smooth oolong with a silky mouth feel and just a hint of mild peach flavor. I wish the peach were a bit stronger, but I'm really enjoying this one overall!
Flavors: Peach, Smooth

It seems like only yesterday when mailers were scrambling to upgrade their software and in-house systems in order to meet the September 2014 rate changes. Then the mailing industry prepared for new rates and Postage Statements for April 26, 2015. This April rate change was filled with lots of confusion due to the fact that the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) twice remanded the rate proposal submitted by the USPS®. Everyone in the mailing industry was in suspense wondering when and what the final rate adjustments would be. As it turns out, the USPS is delaying implementation of the new rates until all of the proposed market-dominant changes are approved by the PRC. Though it is too early to know when that will be, it would not be unreasonable to see the USPS implement this rate change as early as May 31, 2015.
For many years, Window Book has focused on making it easy for mailers to use post-presort software to provide accurate eDocs to PostalOne. The quest to make this faster, easier and more automated continues to this day. When the PRC ruled in November of 2013 that Full-Service constituted the equivalent of a 4.1% to 4.9% postage increase, I thought that they were way off base. Even considering the cost of updating software, equipment and changing production processes, that number really seemed way off. Even the labor costs for post-presort Mail.dat editing is tiny compared with this 4.1% - 4.9% number. So where is all this extra expense coming from? Labor.
For years the USPS has been encouraging mailers to submit their Mail.dat files to PostalOne! in order to participate in programs such as eDoc, Full-Service Intelligent Mail, eInduction and Seamless Acceptance. We at Window Book think PostalOne! eDoc is terrific for the USPS and the mailing industry, but there are definitely things that can be improved. One thing in particular is retrieving and downloading finalized postage statements. For you and your clients this is a very time-consuming and tedious process.
Here at Window Book we get questions all the time from mailers asking about their Mailer Scorecard. How do you apply for a Scorecard? What if access is denied when you are trying to review your Scorecard? How do you find out what to do about an error; can you drill down to find out? Is there a master list of error codes and what can we do about them? What is an undocumented mailpiece? And the list goes on and on.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) recently published a guide to help mailers plan for some of the upcoming changes and deadlines with regards to various USPS programs. Called the Mail Entry Road Map, this guide breaks down these various USPS programs and provides details on the USPS plans and important deadlines for each.
The United States Postal Service® (USPS®) recently announced they are postponing the implementation of monthly updates to the Labeling Lists and the Mail Direction File from July 1 to August 1, 2014. For the first round of monthly updates, the Labeling Lists affected are L001, L011, L012, and L606. The Labeling Lists are located on the Postal Explorer web site under the Additional Links tab. Mailers are encouraged to use this new data as soon as it is available on August 1, 2014, but are required to use this new data no later than September 1, 2014.

A new Windows 2000 installation, or a Windows 2000 upgrade from Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98, may unexpectedly prompt you for a password. The following notification occurs when you log on to the Windows 2000-based computer:
Logon Message:
The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case. Make sure that Caps Lock is not accidentally on.
The Windows 2000 security model is based on the Microsoft Windows NT security model. This security model requires a user name and password before access to the computer is granted.
The Windows 2000 security model is different from the Windows 95/98 security model in that no authentication is required to obtain access to a computer running Windows 95/98. Users who upgrade from Windows 95/98 to Windows 2000 Professional may not be aware of these differences.
If a user password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, the only method to reset the password is for the administrator (or a user with administrative access) to log on and reset the password in Computer Management. There is no method in the Windows 2000 security model to bypass, disable, or reset the password.
If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, access to the computer may not be obtainable and the operating system may need to be reinstalled.
To Reset a User's PasswordIf a user account needs to be reset, logon as the administrator or as a user with administrative access, and then follow these steps:
To Reset the Administrator's PasswordLog on to the computer as a user with administrative privileges, and perform the steps listed above for the Administrator account.
If the Administrator password needs to be reset, and there are no other users with administrative access, there is no way to recover the password and the operating system will need to be reinstalled.
Additional InformationA common problem that occurs is using the incorrect case for one or more of the letters in the password. If your password is not accepted, try this:
NOTE: If the operating system is reinstalled, all previously installed programs and drivers will need to be reinstalled to operate successfully. Data files such as Microsoft Money files, Microsoft Outlook mailbox files, and so on, should not be affected by reinstalling the operating system, but these files will be lost if the hard disk is reformatted during the reinstallation of the operating system.
The Windows 2000 security framework is designed to fulfill the most stringent security requirements.
The Windows 2000 Setup program creates a user account called Administrator on your computer that has administrative privileges for managing the overall configuration of your computer. The Administrator account is intended for the person who manages this computer. For security reasons, specify a password for the Administrator account. Leaving the Administrator password blank indicates no password for the account.
The password you type in the Confirm Password box must exactly match the password you type in the Administrator Password box. Take special care to remember and protect your password. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Still Alice 2014
Wrestling with this one. Clearly a case where the performances are much better than the writing and what are pretty one-dimensional relationships elevated often by silence more than words. Moore is really good clearly. Baldwin gives a nice understated performance and even Stewart is good in what could have been the real heartbreaker of a better screenplay. Was I affected by it? I guess the answer is yes since some of Moore's best scenes are about the fear of going…
St. Vincent 2014
ST. VINCENT is a real crowd-pleaser. Far from perfect and a bit manipulative but everyone is good especially Bill Murray and the kid.

Some of the action and all of Eva Green almost justifies all the silliness and the interchangeable good guys. Sullivan Stapleton is not a real person.

The Israeli air force is to expand the operational capabilities of its Sikorsky CH-53 Yasur transport helicopters under two recently announced initiatives. Under the first effort, which forms part of Israel's Yasur 2025 upgrade, the aircraft will be equipped with El-Op's laser obstacle ranging and display system, enabling CH-53 pilots to fly safely at low level at night and in adverse weather conditions. A second development has led to the air force receiving approval to use the CH-53's inflatable rubber internal fuel tanks during inflight refueling, increasing the type's altitude and range performance.

The Bombay high court (HC) on Friday has asked the producers and directors of 'Rahasya', the movie which is allegedly based on the Aarushi Talwar murder case, not to release it till June 13.
A division bench of Justice VM Kanade and Justice Anil Menon, however, refused to restrain the producers from advertising for the movie saying that prima facie "no case was made out" to grant relief.
The HC has kept the Talwars' petition for final hearing on June 13, after which the decision on the release of the movie will be taken.
Nupur and Rajesh Talwar, who have been convicted for murdering their teenage daughter Aarushi, had moved the HC seeking a stay on the release of the movie on the ground that the film is based on "distorted facts surrounding the gruesome death" of their daughter Aarushi.
Talwars are undergoing life sentence awarded to them by the sessions court at Ghaziabad and their appeal is pending before the Allahabad high court.
Advocate Atul Damle, counsel appearing for director Manish Gupta and producer UVI Films Production Ltd., assured the court that they will not be releasing the movie before June 13. He also assured the court that they will put a disclaimer with the movie promos and advertisements.
The disclaimer will be put saying that the movie is a work of fiction and does not bear resemblance to any person dead or alive.
Talwars had sought a stay on the release of promos and advertisements saying that they could influence their case which is still pending appeal.
While refusing to grant relief, the court observed: "No case is made out to grant relief in the notice of motion."
The judges also took note of the assurance given by the producers that they would be giving a disclaimer along with the advertisements.
The judges have, however, stayed the order to allow the Talwars to approach the Supreme Court.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had earlier informed the court that the movie is based on fiction and bears no resemblance to the case of Nupur and Rajesh Talwar.
On the intervening night of May 15 and 16, 2008, Aarushi and their house help Hemraj were found murdered at the Talwar residence in Noida near Delhi.

Better to be vigilant vs terrorists than to be blaming authorities
The recent attack on the US Embassy in Libya last Sept. 13 could have been part of terrorists' plans to provoke violence in countries known to be allies of the United States. The attack was triggered by a crudely produced movie portraying Prophet Mohammad as a fool, a womanizer and a homosexual. This the Muslim world vehemently resented and condemned. And the attack in Libya was instantly followed by similar attacks on US embassies in other countries.
Our country is home to the Abu Sayyaf and other terrorist groups with known links to al-Qaida. It will come as no surprise if these groups ride on the Muslim outrage over this controversial film.
It is good that the government responded swiftly to a very real danger, instituting additional measures to secure the US Embassy, with the Coast Guard doubling its patrols on our coastal waters.
For our part, let us stay away from places which could be targets of terrorist attacks. This is not to create panic; this is just a call for vigilance. Better prepared, all of us will feel safer. Terrorists pick no time or place to strike, like what they recently did in Davao City, where they exploded a grenade at a carnival.
Let's face the inconvenience of body/bag searches in public places and commercial establishments. This is better than blaming afterwards the authorities for falling short on their job.

The "Ultrabook" term is often associated with super-small notebooks, but ASUS is here with a model to remind us that 15.6-inch models can be included, too. We're taking a look at the S56C, a Core i5-3317U-powered offering that includes 6GB of memory, a 24GB SSD for caching, and is built like a tank.
A couple of weeks ago, we posted a look at ASUS' VivoBook X202E, a modest notebook that came just shy of earning itself "Ultrabook" status. Despite its lacking performance, we ended up loving everything else about the notebook, so we had great interest in seeing what ASUS could pull off with something a bit larger.
That's where the S56C comes in. It is an Ultrabook, and a rather large one, too. It comes in at 15.6-inches, and packs in an SSD for caching, a 750GB hard drive, a beefier processor (with Turbo), is equipped with an ODD, and offers Gigabit Ethernet – something the X202E oddly didn't.
The exact model we're taking a look at here is the S56CA-DH51, which officially retails for $699 but can be found for as low as $630. Another option exists for those who like the S56C, but are willing to forgo a couple of niceties. The S56CA-WH31 drops the CPU down to a non-Turbo model, and likewise changes the 750GB HDD into a 500GB one and hauls out 2GB of RAM to make it 4GB. Everything else remains the same – even the SanDisk SSD used for caching. This model retails for $599, but comparison shopping can find it for closer to $499.
Before we get into our tour of the notebook, let's take a deeper look at the specs.
|ASUS S56C Ultrabook 15.6″ Notebook
|Intel Core i5-3317U Dual-Core (1.7GHz (Turbo: 2.6GHz), 3MB Cache)
|6GB DDR3-1600 (Dual-Channel, 4+2GB)
|Chi Mei N156B6-L0D 15.6″ TFT LED
|Intel HD Graphics 4000
|SanDisk SSD i100 24GB (Caching)
Seagate ST750LM022 750GB Hard Drive (5,400 RPM)
|Realtek 1000Mbit/s Ethernet
Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n Wireless
Bluetooth 4.0
Headphone / Microphone Combo Jack
2 x USB 2.0
1 x USB 3.0
Card Reader: SD
|Et cetera
|4-cell 2,950 mAh Battery
2.30kg (5.07lbs)
Windows 8 64-bit
I have to admit something right-off-the-bat: the biggest downside to the S56C in comparison to the X202E is the lack of a touch-screen. I'm still impressed that I feel this way, but after having spent a month with the X202E, I found myself liking the touchscreen quite a bit. There are occasions where being able to tap the screen is easier than using the mouse – especially if you usually keep a notebook to your side while you use your desktop PC. I'd be interested in hearing from those who own touchscreen-enabled notebooks to see if you've come to rely on the feature.
In lieu of a touchscreen, we do get a nice LED panel on the S56C that offers slightly better color-accuracy than the display on the X202E. It's unfortunate that ASUS couldn't pack an IPS panel in here, but what is offered is rather nice.
As mentioned above, this notebook takes advantage of SSD caching, which is pre-configured. The integrated SanDisk SSD cannot be accessed as normal through Windows, so all that will be seen upon opening "Computer" will be the primary 750GB hard drive. For those feeling adventurous, I am sure the SSD could be re-purposed, but I wouldn't recommend going that route unless you want to risk ruining the possibility of restoring the notebook to its factory state.
Let's kick-off the hardware tour, shall we?
The S56C is available in a couple of common colors: black, black and of course, black. The hood features a brushed texture effect, though it's absolutely smooth to the touch. The ASUS logo isn't a mere silk-screen but rather a metal logo built-into the hood. Overall, it's attractive.
A quick look at the underbelly shows off the numerous vents and feet locations. While I'm sure the back could be taken off with some effort, I didn't want to risk knocking anything out of place, so I left it alone. Ultrabooks are compact, and are generally not meant to be opened by the end-user.
It's difficult to tell from the photo below, but the inside of the S56C is also brushed, but again is totally smooth. Like the X202E, this notebook has a smooth touchpad and chiclet-styled keys.
And speaking of keys; a better look:
Many of the keys found on this notebook have alternate functions that go beyond simple media keys. Hitting Fn and then the numpad Enter, for example, launches a calculator. Fn + Spacebar opens up the Power4Gear Hybrid software. Then of course, there are other combinations for WiFi enable/disable, brightness, audio increase/decrease and so forth.
One of my favorite parts of the X202E was its nice touchpad – it could be used for hours and it wouldn't irritate your fingers. Fortunately, the same touchpad is implemented here, so I have the same nice things to say about it. There is a problem where I feel I launch the Charms bar or Start screen too easily (by swiping the sides), but that functionality can be disabled.
On the bottom-left side of the notebook, there are status LEDs for Powered On, Charging, HDD Activity, WiFi, Numlock and Caps Lock.
At the left-side of the notebook, from left to right, we see the AC power adapter, ventilation area, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and USB 3.0. I can understand putting a USB port near the front of a notebook, but I don't feel the same about the others. If you plug your notebook into a wired connection often, it's going to be a little awkward to have the cable sitting right beside your left hand.
On the opposite side, again from left to right, there's an audio input/output combo port, two USB 2.0 ports, the optical drive and also a Kensington security lock.
At the top of the display is an "HD Webcam" supporting a resolution of 1280×720. In quick tests, it's "just a webcam", nothing special, but it certainly gets the job done. It's far better than the 640×480 offerings that so many notebooks ship with.
When taking a look at the S56C from the side, we can really see just how thin its hood is. Really, the entire notebook as a whole is thin, despite its larger size. So while it might not be the most portable notebook around, it should have no problem fitting into a backpack or briefcase that can support it length-wise.
Once again, ASUS has delivered a notebook that's both durable and attractive. It does tend to attract fingerprints (like the X202E did), but for a durable notebook, I'll take it.
Next up, a look at the S56C's software package.

Quite a few people use the 50/50 or a boomerang. I've tried the boomerang and it works fine, however, on occasion they pop out of place, which isn't a huge deal, but with the s-hook that's never an issue. The 50/50 method was fine as well, but I simply prefer the simplicity of the s-hook. There was something about starting in the middle of the racquet and being obligated to use a starting clamp that didn't quite sit well with me, didn't seem as seamless as using the s-hook. Anyway, your opinion may be different. Try it and see what you think - it's a cheap experiment.
I'll let others address your remaining questions as I'm short on time. Good luck!
I really dont agree that the boomerang works fine. Cross strings seem to lose a substantial amount of tension especially on the Prince EXO3 Silver, although there seem be tension loss on all Prince EXO3 when using boomerang due to the fact that cross string is not even close to being horizontal while being tensioned. Irvin what is your opinion on this?>

LAUNCHing Ideas for a Waste-less Tomorrow
As a participant of the first LAUNCH forum, LAUNCH: Water, and someone who recently returned from six months experiencing the orbital perspective of our planet from 240 miles above the Earth, I invite innovators from around the world to participate in LAUNCH: Beyond Waste.
LAUNCH, a social entrepreneurship forum, is in its third year of existence,and is taking public/private partnerships to new heights—literally and figuratively. A partnership among NASA, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department, and NIKE, it has become a testbed for collaboration across non-traditional disciplines and organizations, bringing innovative solutions to difficult sustainability challenges around and above the world.
Specifically, LAUNCH draws parallels between resource challenges humans face onboard the International Space Station and those on Earth. Think about it: we have no natural resources in the hostile environment of space, which forces us to generate, collect, store, conserve, recycle, and manage our resources wisely — just like we must on Earth. LAUNCH offers NASA's problem-solving expertise to crucial conversations on sustainability-related topics with innovative problem solvers from around the world. It enables NASA to promote emerging, transformative technology to sustain and enrich the quality of life on Earth. After all, the engineering approaches needed to solve many of the development challenges facing our planet have a lot in common with those needed to overcome the challenges of long-duration human missions beyond low-Earth orbit.
We've specifically selected the LAUNCH challenges to tell the space station sustainability story: the life support systems that sustain our astronauts aboard the station are the same as those that support inhabitants of the amazing spacecraft we are all riding on together through the universe: Earth. Previous LAUNCH forums investigated challenges to our planet relating to Water, Energy, and Health.
LAUNCH: Beyond Waste seeks ten game-changing innovations with the potential to transform current waste management systems and practices. This issue not only threatens our natural resources on Earth but also affects how we design spacecraft and missions to transport humans beyond Earth's atmosphere. In fact, 40% of packaging for supplies we send up to the crew living onboard the space station is discarded as waste. We need to figure out a better way to use this material as feedstock, rather than excess. We need to design closed-loop systems with a goal of zero waste for long-duration space missions.
The LAUNCH: Beyond Waste challenge will accept proposals from April 1 to May 15, 2012. Ten LAUNCH innovators will be selected to present technology solutions at the LAUNCH forum and receive networking and mentoring opportunities from influential business and government leaders. Following the forum, each innovator receives individualized support in the LAUNCH Accelerator phase, led by USAID, to help apply recommendations from the forum.
The previous forums have demonstrated intriguing solutions that may find their way to space. LAUNCH: Water innovator Mark Tonkin of DTI-r developed an irrigation system that uses brackish, saline, and polluted water in irrigated agriculture. He's growing trees in the Jordanian desert and conducting large-scale field trials in the United Arab Emirates, the U.K., and the United States We're looking at an experimental deployment of his technology to recycle water onboard the space station. Tonkin credits LAUNCH: Water with driving him to overhaul his business model and focus on research and development and licensing opportunities.
To be part of the LAUNCH success, innovators should submit Beyond Waste challenge proposals on the LAUNCH website. http://links.launch.org/beyond-waste
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone at the forum. We are all in this together, and the only way we will overcome the challenges facing our planet is together. The clock is ticking for a better tomorrow!

Great pants, durable, do exactly what they say, keep water out at put in/take out and when it's raining. Only complaint as is with EVERY piece of women's gear made is nothing is made for PETITE women, leg length in these pants is unbelievably long which is why they get an 8 from me because that can cause a bit of danger getting in and out of your kayak in big water. Otherwise I love them.

Our signature mind-body medicine technique is something Founder and Director James Gordon, MD calls "Soft Belly", by way of encouraging each of us to relax — which few of us instinctively do these days.
We sit quietly, breathing in through our nose and out through our mouth, which both calms the sympathetic nervous system and awakens the parasympathetic nervous system, creating a feeling of relaxation in the mind and body. Dr. Gordon suggests we think "soft" as we breathe in and "belly" as we breathe out, reminding ourselves to relax our belly so we can take in full, healing breaths rather than shallow, tense ones.

Bin Laden Sought Nukes
Osama Bin Laden did seek nuclear weapons. In an exclusive interview with The Nation newspaper online Pakistani Scientist Sultan Bashir Mahmood, a retired director general of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission said Bin Ladin did ask him about getting nuclear technology. But he said he told a firm no and Bin Laden did not ask again. Mahmood said he told bin Laden that establishing an infrastructure and gathering a team of scientists to accomplish the task was not possible. The meeting took place before 9-11.

Hes probably better than White in that regard and frankly if they are even close Detroit should just use him in order to entice him to come here.
What Dmen on the market could make more sense as a guy to play number 4/5 minutes but could also take over some PP time?
Yeah I've been pushing for the following:
I think that would be an awesome set of d-men, we'd have our core set for the next 4-5 years while Ouellet, Backman, Sproul and Jensen finish their development. And I'm an Ericsson fan, he could PK a ton and White might do better with softer matchups on the third pairing at ES and he can pitch in on the PP if someone gets injured.

RKNet Studios Announced Cognitions Bridge Games to Help Students Develop Cognitive Abilities to Support Learning in the 21st Century Education
The 20th century will be known as the Industrial Age; whereas the 21st century is shaping-up to be the Digital Information Age. In the Information Age, we not only need a renewed focus on three R´s (reading, writing, and arithmetic) but also master the five C´s (cognition ability, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration).
Middletown, NJ (PRWEB) June 18, 2013
Anant Goel, CEO at RKNet Studios stated: "In order to meet the needs of students in the 21st century, we need to rethink education, its goals, methods and structures. It is no longer adequate to teach only discreet and abstract facts, or to deliver content to students devoid of real world context. The students of today need to be prepared for college or a career upon graduation from high school."
We live in a rapidly changing world that is increasingly dependent on global communication, inter-personal collaboration, and a variety of technology tools to sustain growth and competition. We all have laptops, smartphones, and easy access to Internet"¦ to search, to communicate, and to collaborate.
That´s all well and good, but having access to technology does not automatically make us the master of 4 C´s or develops the skills needed for work, businesses, and life in the 21st century. A 21st Century Education Initiative teaches students how to use critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity (the Four C´s) along with the traditional Three R´s.
Goel stated: "We know about the 4C´s from the buzz in the media. What about the fifth C; as in "Cognitive skills" that are needed for success in life. Children and adults need to develop cognitive abilities and perceptual skills to make all learning possible and raise their achievement level. It is well recognized that "what we can cognize, we may learn"¦ and what we perceive, we may cognize."
Cognitive abilities and perceptual skills are not "all or nothing" abilities. Every student develops his/her cognitive abilities to a lesser or greater degree"¦ but each student is expected to have optimum level of core cognitive skills, fitness and stamina for learning in a group-learning class environment.
Teaching the ability to learn should be considered equally as important a goal as is a mastery of prescribed content. If the students don´t have the requisite skills needed for learning curricular content, regardless of what intelligence such content might involve, attempts to re-mediate content deficiencies are likely futile.
Over the years, some individual teachers have adapted Meeker & Meeker SOI (Structure of Intellect) material to develop students´ cognitive abilities on a pupil-by-pupil basis. However, this was mainly within the gifted/talented programs"¦ a paradox which implies that the most able students get to enhance their cognitive abilities. Now faced with demands of 21st Century Education Initiative, and broad cognitive diversity in every class room, teachers seek a group-based solution that can help develop age-level [and developmental-level] cognition in all students"¦ while dedicating the pupil-by-pupil approach to at-risk and special-needs students.
That´s a tall order for any technology based solution to group-based cognitions development. Well, it has taken over 10 years of dedicated research and development for RKNet Studios to launch its Cognitions Bridge suite of fun games for one-on-one, as well as, group-based cognitive skills development solutions.
Cognitions Bridge games are based on the evidence for the brain´s ability to change and grow according to the way it is used"¦ from infancy through adulthood. Also, intelligence and cognitive abilities, like physical abilities, can be exercised and developed through cognitive and perceptual exercises.
By stimulating brain with several simultaneous activities; children as well as adults can increase their attention span and awareness to their surroundings. Cognitive games help sharpen memory, process information quickly, recall and organize their thoughts in positive and productive manner"¦ all the while playing a competitive game and having fun.
Progressively increasing complexity and the need to engage multiple cognitive skills create Cognitions Bridge; a network of efficient and faster pathways to engage different parts of the brain in a networked and collaborative manner"¦ and that develops cognitive reserves and increased complexity of neuronal synapses.
In a game played against the computer, the computer acts as mentor and a friendly playmate that can play for hours, communicates non-verbally and doesn´t judge. If a child needs more input to feel satisfied and connected to the world around them, the game introduces healthy challenges, increasing complexity, and a competitively winning opportunity that will provide the right amount of stimulus.
Cognitions Bridge games are real life strategy and intelligence games; and are fun while developing cognitive and social skills playing against the computer. Once the child is comfortable playing and accepts the computer as a playmate, a parent can take over to further teach and nurture the youth's cognitive and social skills.
Each game highlights the cognitive skills engaged, keeps scores to monitor player´s progress, and at the end it grades cognitive skills level. Everyone has cognitive abilities, but not everyone's abilities are the same. People can, at any age, improve their cognitive capacity, speed and accuracy. When they do, everything that relies on those skills gets easier, faster and more efficient.
Cognitions Bridge games can be downloaded from Google PLAY Store or the Apple APP Store.

Irrigated croplands
Nearly 2,500,000 square km (about 970,000 square miles) of croplands are irrigated (that is, about 15 percent of Earth's total agricultural land). Over 60 percent of these irrigated areas occur in drylands. Certainly, some dryland areas have been irrigated for millennia, but other areas are more fragile. Of the irrigated dryland, 30 percent (an area roughly the size of Japan) is moderately to severely degraded, and this percentage is increasing.
The main cause of declining biological productivity in irrigated croplands is the accumulation of salts in the soil. There is an important difference between rainwater and the water used for dryland irrigation. Rainwater results from the condensation of water evaporated by sunlight. Essentially, rainwater is distilled seawater or lake water. In contrast, water used for irrigation is the result of runoff from precipitation. Runoff percolates through the soil, dissolving and collecting much of the salts it encounters, before finding its way into rivers or aquifers. When used to irrigate crops, runoff evaporates and leaves behind much of the salts that it collected. Irrigated crops need an average of 80 cm (about 30 inches) of water annually. These salts can build up in the soil unless additional water is used to flush them out. This process can rapidly transform productive land into relatively barren salt flats scattered with halophytes (plants adapted to high levels of salt in the soil).
Most salt-degraded cropland occurs in Asia and southwestern North America, which account for 75 and 15 percent of the worldwide total, respectively. In Asia, Iraq has lost over 70 percent of its irrigated land to salt accumulation. In Russia, much of the irrigated land located where the Volga River runs into the Caspian Sea may last only until the middle of the 21st century before the buildup of salts makes it virtually unusable. Such losses are not restricted to developing countries. In the United States, salt accumulation has lowered crop yields across 50,000 square km (19,000 square miles), an area that is about a quarter of the country's irrigated land.
Rain-fed croplands
Drylands also support rain-fed crops. Before cultivation, such areas were often vast grasslands. They now cover about 5 million square km (about 2 million square miles) and account for roughly one-third of all croplands worldwide. They receive less than 60 cm (about 24 inches) of rain each year, and thus they are at the margin of what farmers can use for crops without at least some irrigation. Rainfall can vary considerably from one year to the next, so those lands may experience droughts that often lead to crop failure. Globally, more than 2,000,000 square km (about 770,000 square miles) of rain-fed croplands are moderately to severely degraded, and each year about 1 percent of those lands is abandoned.
The crops grown on drylands are annuals; each year they emerge from seed, mature, and die. Grains such as wheat and corn (maize) are annuals that account for roughly 85 percent of global food production. After these grains are harvested, the lands are left uncovered until the next planting season. During this time, the soil is vulnerable to erosion by wind and rain. Wind can whip up the unprotected topsoil to create severe dust storms. Such dust storms often transport the soils, along with the nutrients they contain, over long distances. Rainfall is scarce in drylands, but when it does come it can be torrential. Heavy downpours often wash away the soils on bare ground or deplete them of their nutrients. In contrast, native grasslands contain a mix of mainly perennial species that inhibit erosion. Perennials live from year to year, have deeper roots to bind the soil, and do not leave the soils exposed for months on end.
Grazing lands
Desertification also occurs in rangelands. Typically, the damage in those environments can be separated into damage to soil and damage to vegetation. The former is more important than the latter; however, large areas experience both. The process of soil damage and loss often begins with the activities of grazing animals. Grazing livestock sometimes consume plants down to the ground. This activity weakens the individual plant; with a reduction in tissues capable of photosynthesis, its growth is greatly inhibited. In addition, livestock herds may trample and kill vegetation by walking to and from permanent water sources. Trampling destroys plant roots that bind the soil together. When rains come to those grazing lands, rivulets often form along the walking paths and wash away unprotected topsoil. Also, the repeated movement of herds over one section of the landscape can compact the soil, hindering the development of plant roots.
Livestock can substantially alter plant communities. It may be obvious that these animals reduce plant populations through their grazing activities, but livestock can also change the composition of the plant community by consuming some species and leaving others alone. The grazing pressure placed on grasses and other edible species gives a competitive advantage to cacti and other inedible species. For example, in the southwestern United States, mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) is a native shrub; however, it can increase its range considerably when cattle overgraze grasslands. The resulting plant community supports few livestock and is a persistent one—that is, the extensive thickets of mesquite often prevent grasses from recolonizing their former range.

It's just past suppertime on a sublime summer evening in the Wild West, and traffic on this rural highway leading toward Willow Flats, an area in the central part of Grand Teton National Park, is at a standstill. Like paparazzi staking out a starlet, photographers line the roadside, clutching formidable camera lenses. Tourists pour from cars, some climbing onto roofs to gain a better vantage.
More magnetic even than the backdrop of the Tetons, the cause of this commotion is a mother grizzly bear and three cubs. Right before vacationers' eyes, she is teaching her offspring how to hunt elk calves.
"These aren't just any bears," explains Thomas Mangelsen, a local nature photographer in Jackson Hole, Wyo. "They might be the most famous grizzlies alive today on the planet. For all these people, catching a glimpse of them is the thrill of a lifetime."
If there's a hard lesson from this summer's vacation season, though, it's that humans and bears don't necessarily mix. Here to preserve some semblance of order amid the threat of pandemonium (on the human side, at least) is a special legion called the Grand Teton Wildlife Brigade.
Their mission: keep humans, bruins, and other animals from harm – often from one another. Never have the citizen "brigaders" played a more vital role than they have this summer, says Grand Teton ranger Kate Wilmot, now that Grand Teton National Park's roadside grizzlies have become global sensations.
"We've gone from a somewhat chaotic atmosphere the last couple of years to a completely chaotic one now," says Ms. Wilmot, noting that social media have helped to spread the bears' fame. "My official title is 'bear management specialist,' but the real challenge is managing the behavior of people."
The brigade was created in 2007 when a grizzly sow named "399" – a numeric reference bestowed upon her by researchers – showed up along the national park's roadsides with three yearling cubs. She and her brood promptly attracted an international following – including Facebook fans and travelers making trips here just to see her.
Then came a bigger surprise. This spring 399 and another grizzly called "610" – 399's 5-year-old daughter – each emerged from her den with cubs. No. 399 had triplets at her side for the second time in half a decade, and 610 herself had twins in tow.
Wilmot oversees a corps of 16 volunteers who work until the snow flies. The youngest is Justin Schwabedissen, an Idaho college student. Reg and Laurie Wofford are retired septuagenarians from Hawaii.
"We're here because we love the parks," says Mrs. Wofford. "The payment we receive isn't money. It's the satisfaction of being able to do something meaningful."
Mama grizzlies, she notes, are notoriously protective of their offspring. Earlier this summer in Yellowstone National Park, a hiker was fatally mauled after surprising a mother bear and cubs along a trail. That incident, combined with two occasions in which Bear 610 charged Grand Teton tourists who got too close, prompted park officials to impose new viewing guidelines, mandating that tourists venture no closer than 100 yards.

ANHAM FZCO, LLC Interview On Prime Vendor Contract
WASHINGTON, July 26 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Trish Wexler, spokeswoman for ANHAM FZCO, LLC, provided a live interview to Al Arabiya on the recent news that the U.S. Government Accountability Office has dismissed all protests to the selection of ANHAM as "Prime Vendor" to the U.S. Government, providing food and support services for the U.S. Government in Kuwait and Iraq. The following is a summary of the questions and responses, with further detail provided below than time allowed for on air:
You issued a press release last Friday announcing that the U.S. Government Accountability Office dismissed the protest filed by losing bidders for the Prime Vendor contract. What was the basis for this announcement?
ANHAM's press release announced that the U.S. Government Accountability Office had "dismissed" protests filed by the losing bidders, and that ANHAM will continue to provide full-line food and non-food distribution and support services in Kuwait and Iraq. U.S. law allows for unsuccessful bidders to protest and challenge the documentation. This is a common – and in fact expected – course of action on the part of the losing bidder, particularly for larger contracts such as this. One of three things can then occur – the protest can be sustained (upheld), denied, or dismissed. In this case, the protest has been dismissed and is no longer under consideration by the U.S. Government. ANHAM has been, and will continue to perform against this contract in the future.
But yesterday, KGL announced that the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency [the agency in charge of this contract for the U.S. Government] has decided to take corrective action with respect to the protest, and that it is in the process of reopening limited negotiations on limited subjects and will receive revised proposals. How can you reconcile this with your press announcement from last week?
The U.S. Government holds itself to particularly high standards with respect to documenting the justification for contract awards. Particularly in the case of large contracts such as this, agencies within the U.S. Government will often voluntarily decide to address any perceived lack of clarity in their decisions. This is apparently what is happening right now – and it is entirely expected.
The dismissal of the losing bidder's protest is a matter of public record. It can be found by visiting the U.S. GAO's Bid Protest Docket (http://www.gao.gov/decision/docket, and search for KGL as protestor). The details of the decision are as follows:
KGL Food Services W.L.L. (SPM300-08-R-0061) Department of Defense : Defense Logistics Agency Quick View Outcome: Dismissed Date Decided: July 22, 2010 Filed Date: April 27, 2010 Due: August 5, 2010 Case Type: Bid Protest GAO Attorney: David A. Ashen File Number: 400660.5
Tell me more about your history of performing on similar contracts.
