Coming after the release of what can only be described as a shameless ripoff, a fresh update has been written into Information Architects' eponymous writing app.
My own writing app of choice, iA Writer is optimized for both iPhone and iPad. It prides itself on offering a noise-free writing environment, even going so far as to include a focus mode. In its default condition, the app already has an austerity of buttons, tabs, and whatnot, but it takes this austerity even further with focus mode. Focus mode blurs out everything on the screen save for the three lines of text you're currently working on. It's a boon to users who, like me, write on their iDevices on a daily basis. Beyond focus mode, an innovative keyboard extension and syncing via iCloud and Dropbox are also part of iA Writer's well-thought-out feature set.
The latest update to iA Writer serves to improve upon a few elements of its feature set. In the iPad version of the app, text has been sharpened further to support the new iPad's Retina display. In the iPhone version, the buttons along the top bar in landscape mode have been slightly reduced, perhaps for purely aesthetic reasons. In both versions, a handful of additional improvements have been applied. New documents are now saved in the last storage used, be it local, iCloud, or Dropbox. Full screen scrolling, text transitions, and VoiceOver support have been improved as well. And it's not mentioned in the update's release notes, but I noticed one more thing: the floppy disk icon for saving has been replaced with a syncing icon. It's a subtle change, and it's no doubt appropriate. Hasn't floppy disks gone the way of dodos?
Truly a first-rate universal app, iA Writer is available in the App Store for only $0.99. That's a lot of bang for your buck, maybe even something to write home about.

|About Rabbi Ian
Frowning, scowling and monotonous.... NOT! I am the opposite of what you might expect a Rabbi to be. Warm and outgoing would be a better description. However, this is superseded by a whacky British sense of humor which fires into overdrive when discussing life's ironies and paradoxes.
A bunch of marketing gurus advised me to write this whole page in the third person. They told me to avoid "I" and I tried but it looked so impersonal and pompous.
St George's Hospital used to be the building next to Buckingham Palace on Hyde Park Corner and that's where I was born. Even though I was not yet on solids I thought the Queen might have popped over for tea and crumpets with me, but she didn't. After an Orthodox Jewish Primary school I went to City of London School where I went for my formative years, and occasionally broke the rules. In fact at school (Public School is Private School in England - formed by a Public charter by the reigning Monarch) we were all called by our last name and mine is Adler. All through school I thought that my first name was "Adler" and my last name was "Detention" because my teachers seemed to say those two words together all too frequently.
Without my family; a smashing sister, a wonderful mum and a terrific dad, I wouldn't be where I am today. Having moved from London to Southern California in 1997 you would think I would have acquired an American accent, but no. After all these years I am not yet fluent in American English. I still have difficulty with words like schedule, dustbin, windscreen, bonnet, boot and car park. Why should I stop saying cheers? And when something goes phenomenally well, what's wrong with using the cliche cockney dog's thingamajigs phrase? (even though I am not cockney). In fact, my two favorite words are thingy and thingamajig as in; "didn't we meet at thingy's thingamajig last month?" or, "plug the thingy into the thingamajig and it should work".
Several profound and personal events in my life lead me to set out to break through the divisive barriers which the establishment Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews erected over centuries to maintain outsiders as outsiders. In 2001, after graduating from the Florida Academy of Religion under the tutelage of Rabbi Frank, I was inspired to establish the Pacific Synagogue and follow in the footsteps of my grandfather Jacob Adler. Grandpa Jacob bought a building in the 1930s to establish the King Edward Street Synagogue in Stepney, London. Then Grandpa Jacob moved to Windsor. When the King Edward Street Synagogue was bombed to smithereens, the Synagogue Board entrusted him to be caretaker of all their Torahs. Jacob found a an Open Church in Windsor, only a stone's throw from Windsor Castle, where he established a temporary Synagogue for the children and families displaced from London during the Blitz. It was Jacob's temporary Synagogue that welcomed Rabbi Julius Jacobovits with all his sons when they were moved to England and it was one of those sons who went on to become the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth from 1967 to 1991.
You may be shocked to hear a Rabbi who speaks with an English accent. In fact, Rabbi Bernstein, the Orthodox Rabbi who officiated my BarMitzvah in London many years ago, sounded even stranger with his strong Irish accent. London's Norrice Lea Synagogue (Orthodox) was where I acquired my Jewish education under the tutelage of Rabbi Bernstein and Rev Freilich (we often call our Chazzans "Rev" in England), who taught me much over many years, including that a Rabbi did not have to drone on and on and on in a monotonous tone. Rabbi Bernstein exuded a fire and brimstone style from the pulpit, frequently accompanied by a dry wit and humor that would have suited a stand-up comedian. Of course he looked every bit the typical Orthodox Rabbi from his beard to his stereotypical wrinkled dark gray suit until the moment he spoke in fluent Hebrew with his heavy Irish brogue. He was regarded as a great Rabbi in London and elsewhere in the modern Orthodox Jewish world.
As I see it, the spirit of Judaism is transdenominational, post-denominational and inter-denominational. It is flourishing in the United States. It resonates with love, faith, wisdom and integrity, understanding and open to all.

Anderson Cooper Rips Into Speidi
Cooper put the hard news on hold this week to dedicate two minutes to eviscerating Montag and her performance, starting off his rant with the following: "I don't really know who this person is, nor why she is pretending to be a singer nor why anyone should listen to her, but apparently she's famous."
He continued, saying that Montag is "so famous she actually Twitters.... And she Twittered to congratulate herself. She tweeted she had so much fun, and she also thanked God. I don't think God had anything to do with this production."
After a quick back-and-forth with a CNN contributor, Cooper hypothesized that "If God has the time to work on this production and that's the best God can do, we're all in trouble." When Cooper continued, saying he wasn't sure who Heidi even was, his counterpart informed him that "she's married that annoying Spencer Pratt." Ouch.

Anderson Cooper is one of the most respected journalists on television. Why should he waste air time, his breath and risk killing his credibility by talking about this pair of nobodies?
- Thursday 27 AugustBy themeekeer
KillTheDumb, you're kidding right? Do you know anything at all? Anderson Cooper will be relevant for years and years. These two no-talent hacks will be gone by 2011. They will be comical footnotes of pop culture by the early part of the next decade. They are nothing more then money-grabbing media whores and the public is beginning to figure them out.

KillTheDumb, you never watch news or CNN in you lifetime I supposed. AC is far more famous than that Heidi you admired. And please don't kill the dumb--sucide is not the good way for you to go!

She is horrible at singing & even worse as a dancer. How she & Spencer can think that she is great is so laughable!! A good laugh is all they are! They should go back in hiding now, they've embarrased themselves enough!!

I guess this is a another white priviledge. This girl is so fake and phony she might completely melt one day shopping. Why is she on a national stage in front of a nationwide audience. Her pornstar talent will only get her so far. Please stop trying to push this All American no talented bimbo down everyones throat. Please.
Your name fits, but I'm not sure why you are still alive? This girl is patheticly inept as both a dancer and a singer. There are hundreds of thousands of talented singers and dancers out there not able to get the break she got with absolutely NO talent. She couldn't even keep with the beat and lip sinc to her OWN SONG. Horrible! Anderson Cooper will not have to worry about her being around much longer, but he will still have a good career.
- Thursday 27 AugustBy the cannon
WTF! It looks like she took a dump in her pants. She doesn't even look real. Her but looks huge. Who in the world let her on the stage? Was it suppose to be a joke?
- Thursday 27 AugustBy BoredinOC
What an embarrassment of a performance. And sad, but not surprising, she's completely clueless to how really seriously awful it was! THAT was the best the Miss Universe Pageant could come up with? Sounds like the "sp" part of "spiedi" may have gotten on his knees and given The Donald a little something get the train wreck on the show.
Hey Harrison, sounds like you may have a little problem going there. Most guys who have to bash others with "gay" claims aren't that confident about their own sexuality, so they bash gays to prove how "macho" they are. Hmmmm. Usually proves true.
- Thursday 27 AugustBy uncle richie
She almost makes Linsey Ho-han look talented...almost.
You know, I thought the same thing but you got that covered. Would you call that a wardrobe malfunction? It sure looks like she took a dump right before the performance but forgot to use a toilet. You have to say it was suitable for the "performance" if you can even call it that. Yowsa that was just about as bad as it comes. A perfect "load of crap" - pun intended! lol

O'Brien was a multi-event
performer at Holy Cross, excelling in the high and low hurdles, the
high jump and the triple jump. As a sophomore in 1963,
in the IC4A Tournament at Madison Square Garden, he reached
the quarterfinals in the high hurdles and then went on to clear
6'8" in the high jump, setting a new school record and
becoming the first Crusader to win this event. In a meet with the
University of Connecticut, O'Brien was the star performer. He
won the high jump, took another first in the broad jump, and earned
still another win in the 60-yard high hurdles. He finished the
night with a second in the low hurdles and 18 points for the Cross.
At Orono, Maine later that season, the Cross won the New England
Championships with O'Brien again playing a key role with 11
points, scoring in all four of his events, including a win in the
high hurdles.
In his junior year, O'Brien was the star in meets against Massachusetts, Brown and Dartmouth, and that season he set the all time record for points in one season (106). As a senior, he often performed exceptionally well, winning five events in dual meets on three separate occasions (versus Dartmouth, Springfield, and Massachusetts, respectively). He went on to win in the high hurdle event as the Crusaders again captured the New England championship (held a Brown Stadium). Kevin finished his career as a four-time New England champion and held several Holy Cross records upon graduating.

William Herschel
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Sir John Frederick William Herschel, KH, FRS (German: Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel; November 15, 173815 November 1738
3 Kislev 5499 He
3 Kislev 5742 AM – August 25, 182225 August 1822
8 Elul 5582 He
7 Elul 5825 AM) was German-born English astronomer and one of the pioneers of modern astronomy.
Degrees and Discoveries
Herschel became an astronomer. He improved the telescope and discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. Herschel also discovered two more moons of Saturn — Mimas and Enceladus. He was knighted in 1816 and received every honor the scientific world could bestow. And he became the first president of the newly formed Astronomical Society of London.
Christian Beliefs
Herschel was a Christian. He believed that God's universe was characterized by order and planning. His discovery of that order led him to conclude that "the undevout astronomer must be mad" and when he discovered Uranus, he showed that the laws that govern our earth and moon are the same throughout the heavens.
In his diary, Herschel wrote:
|The difference was occasioned by an exclamation of the First Consul's, who asked in a tone of exclamation or admiration (when we were speaking of the extent of the sidereal heavens) 'and who is the author of all this.' M. de La Place wished to shew that a chain of natural causes would account for the construction and preservation of the wonderful system; this the First Consul rather opposed. Much may be said on the subject; by joining the arguments of both we shall be led to 'Nature and Nature's God.'
Another famous quote of William Herschel is:
|"Time! Time! Time! — we must not impugn the Scripture Chronology, but we must interpret it in accordance with whatever shall appear on fair inquiry to be the truth for there cannot be two truths. And really there is scope enough: for the lives of the Patriarchs may as reasonably be extended to 5,000 or 50,000 years apiece as the days of Creation to as many thousand millions of years." — John Frederick William Herschel

For a shared space on a system, there is a lot of turnover in music files.
Space is finite, you download a song, play it, and download other songs.
Eventually, you delete songs you no longer want to make space for other

Though the default webroot in many Linux distros is /var/www which would
seem to violate this convention.
When /var/www is a web root, and a web server is running, and user use
that web server, then many users are sharing files in /var space.
Also, web reports generated from log files are also often stored and
shared from /var as are log files to customers as needed.

temporary depends on timing and what is considered temporary enough to be
variable but not good for /tmp.
For me, 1 month temporary-- about how log I keep songs rotated in when new
songs cause old ones go away.
This is longer than some mbox in /var/spool/mail go without being emptied.
Giving users access to fill up /usr space runs the risk of system or
manual source upgrades failing.
Allowing use of /usr/local/* by user is better than /usr, but is still a
poor choice for source builds, as the admin may need to manage user files
in order to complete an application install.
Use of /var space has also been a convention in many Linux distros for
default web roots, web reports, and as well as a store for mail.
Use of /var space is a convention that has been used for years for things
like those mentioned above.

But music directory is not read only. It will continue to grow as users
add more to it.
However, the /var directory may have music files added over time and
deleted over time (much like what you see with maildir for mail storage--
which is located where, when not in the user's home directory space?)
/usr/local/share and /usr/local/share/music still risks problems for
instalation of new software in /usr/local space-- unless there are plans
to creat more partitions.
Not counting a multi-boot system, the above shows the potential for many
partitions for a home user to consider, and exceeding 8 on one drive can
leads to issues of complexity.

This is another alternative, as is the other laternative mentioned to
create a new space in /.
As an admin, I don't think users should be able to write to anything in
the /usr space.
As an admin, I know users have had mbox files stored in /var/spool/mail/
and other files in /var as well (crontab, and other info) and as a result,
they can control addition of content to /var
Allowing users to write to /usr space in addition to /var adds more risk
to administration.
If /var is not liked, then use of another directory in /, or a symlink as
above seem reasonable enough to me.
To me, the function of a directory of music is much closer to how a
maildir directory of mail functions... lots of read only files, added as
needed and deleted as needed.

We learned a lot about programming and science from the lectures, people kind of enough to review our code, and everyone else who lent a hand. Gaspert, student from La Cueva.
Team: 161
School: White Sands
Area of Science: Ecology
Interim: Problem Definition:
There has been a change of salinity in the past 50 years. With the change it should create an area of concern. Most likely this would change cause a chain reaction in the ecosystem. With the ecosystem changing the animals and plant would need to adapt. What we are trying to see is it will adapt or die off.
The goal of this project is to identify what would happen is the salinity levels do effect the sharks. Not only that but to create a solution should the need arise. For the program we will try to simulate the sharks and environment as accurate as possible for reliable results. We will use a slider for the salinity. This model will only have the selected shark in it with the salinity.
Problem Solution:
The simulation is going to have only one of the picked sharks in it. Therefore we shall have five different simulations to work with. The environment we are creating with have one of the specified sharks along with the salinity.
Progress to Date:
Currently, our team has been researching the sharks as well as salinity. We thought it might be best if we researched before we did the model. That way there is less room for error. Also we would like our model to be as accurate as possible. We are barely starting our model while we are learning the program.
Expected Results:
As of this moment in time we don't have any expected results.

Underachieving Lester School in hands of faith-based overseer
Lester School is tucked in a neighborhood where the work of philanthropists and volunteers -- streets dotted with renovations, new playground equipment and community gardens -- suggest lots of people see hope in Binghamton.
Drew Sippel, executive director of the faith-based Cornerstone Preparatory School at Christ United Methodist Church, recently buzzed through the area on his third trip to Lester in seven days.
When school starts in the fall, Sippel will be running grades K-3 at Lester as part of a state experiment to see if outsiders with fresh ideas, energy and track records in schools can move the needle at places like Lester.
Last year, 28 percent of the Lester student body -- some as young as 5 -- were suspended. Only 8 percent were proficient in math, according to state test scores.
"We've met with most of Lester teachers. We've told them we would love for them to apply if they are interested in coming to Cornerstone," says Sippel, the 40-something former comptroller at Mueller Industries.
What he knows about school administration, he and the school principal learned in a six-week crash course through Building Excellent Schools, a Boston-based academy for people who want to lead urban charter schools.
Cornerstone is a faith-based school that now will operate as a state public school. Overnight, enrollment will nearly quadruple to 250 students.
Some Lester parents, particularly Muslim families, are wary of Cornerstone's Christian roots. The current school's website says the name "Cornerstone" was chosen to reflect in part that "Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of all creation."
"I have not spoken to anyone who expressed that concern, but Cornerstone Prep-Lester Campus will be a public school serving the Binghamton community as part of the ASD," Sippel said.
"Therefore, there will be no evangelical nature at the new school."
Cornerstone must serve every child zoned to attend Lester, including special education students and those who do not speak English.
Sippel is unfazed.
"We have been serving low-income kids who entered on average six months behind, and we had great success.
"The demographics at Lester will be almost identical. The question is how do we leverage our current success with more grades and more students?"
The answer to his own question is staff development.
"We'll have four weeks to work really hard before the school year starts to make sure teachers in every classroom have the same approach," he said.
Cornerstone, the pride of Christ United Methodist Church on Poplar, is one of three charters or private schools that will convert or co-exist inside low-performing Memphis City Schools over the next several years.
KIPP Memphis charter will convert Cypress Middle in North Memphis and Gestalt Community Schools will run a charter inside Gordon Elementary, also in North Memphis.
The conversions are part of the Achievement School District strategy to turn the bottom 5 percent of schools in the state into the top 25 percent in five years.
As part of the deal, state tax money will flow to the charters instead of Memphis City Schools.
Teachers will have one-year contracts but will be at-will employees, which means they can be terminated any time.
The school day will start at 7:15 a.m. and end close to 4 p.m. Saturday programs will be mandatory.
Christ United Methodist started Cornerstone two years ago, the education component to about $600,000 in annual investments it makes in Binghamton, including funding the neighborhood's active community development corporation.
The congregation has pledged $200,000 a year for the school. An anonymous donor, who has already given $1.4 million, will match the church's gift -- plus $60,000 a year -- for the life of the school.
Cornerstone also gets $800,000 in federal funds to cover startup costs in the first 15 months.
Cedrick Gray, now superintendent of Fayette County Schools, knows the heart of Lester better than most.
He served as principal from 2008 to 2010, arriving in the wake of the Lester Street massacre, in which six people were murdered.
"The timing was great for the kids because everybody was deciding that what happens in our community doesn't define us," he said. The message, he said, was "we are going to be successful in spite of what is happening."
In the next few weeks, Sippel must whittle a stack of 250 teacher applications to 20-25 hires he thinks will help him ramp Lester into a college-prep elementary for inner-city children.
The pace may be frenetic action, judging by the stopwatches Cornerstone teachers wear to time even simple tasks while chanting an almost mesmerizing mantra of praise and encouragement.
Cornerstone teachers work the line for the bathroom, quizzing children on addition and subtraction tables, said Ali Hill, one of Cornerstone's stars.
"It's high-energy all the time. It's fun because the kids respond to it."
Cornerstone moved into Christ United Methodist last summer when borrowed space for its two-room school off Summer and National dried up.
Graphs in the church show 94 percent of this year's kindergartners started school five months behind the norm, typical for kindergartners in Memphis public schools.
By October, nearly every Cornerstone child had closed the gap. A month later, the majority were two months above grade level.
Outside of its progress this year and last with about 60 inner-city children, Cornerstone has no track record.
Charters typically do not take over whole schools because it's difficult to change school culture without starting over.
"Most (charter operators) do not elect to get engaged in school turnaround work," said Ursula Wright, interim CEO of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
Without complete autonomy over hiring, curriculum -- even what school they take over -- charters are hamstrung, Wright says.
When Tennessee decided it would use charters as part of its strategy for the state's lowest-performing schools, nine firms applied to take over traditional public schools.
Applications were narrowed by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, known for the quality of its charter schools in Los Angeles, Detroit and Denver.
Driving home the new mission at Lester will be similar to helping the school heal after the Lester massacre, Gray said.
"All of it was about the community holding hands, making up in their minds we were going to do better."

MP Sami Gemayel gestures upon his arrival at the Parliament in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, April 17, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: A long-simmering dispute between the Kataeb Party and March 14 general-secretariat boiled over this week after Metn MP Sami Gemayel and general-secretariat head Fares Soueid traded barbs over the future of the alliance and its vision for the country.
Soueid, a former MP from Jbeil and a close ally of the Kataeb Party, slammed Gemayel for calling for greater political decentralization in order to better address concerns of the country's sects.
In a prerecorded interview aired last week by LBCI's political talk show "Kalam Ennas," Soueid accused Gemayel of making proposals that contradict the message of Pope Benedict XVI, who paid a historic visit to Lebanon last month.
"Pope Benedict XVI did not call for a federalism of sects in Lebanon; he called for coexistence of Christians and Muslims," Soueid said.
Since 2009, Kataeb has not participated in the meetings of March 14's general-secretariat, which is led by Soueid. Party officials say that distance is due to the general-secretariat's attitudes and its organizational structure.
"Fares Soueid and Sami's late brother Pierre Gemayel were a strong front in the March 14 coalition and they coordinated on almost everything," an official with knowledge of the history of relations between the Kataeb Party and the March 14 general-secretariat told The Daily Star.
"Sami is not Pierre and since Pierre's death, Soueid has faced difficulty in agreeing with Sami's ideas," the official said, describing the dispute between Sami Gemayel and Soueid as personal rather than political.
Pierre Gemayel, a former MP and Industry Minister, was assassinated in November 2006.
Soueid's criticism of Gemayel drew condemnations from Kataeb Party officials who described his remarks as "unacceptable and disappointing."
Deputy-head of the party Sejaan Azzi called for taking "tangible measures" against Soueid, but did not elaborate further.
"If they [general-secretariat] are not ready to accept our opinion, that's very disappointing. How can Soueid champion democratic values when he cannot tolerate others' opinions?" a source close to Gemayel asked Monday.
"Soueid's sudden attack on Gemayel looks coordinated and he launched his attack after getting the green light from some people," he added.
But the source said Kataeb leaders have agreed to cool their rhetoric and ignore Soueid's statements for now.
In the interview, Soueid also said that Gemayel's proposals contradict the values of March 14.
"We built coexistence through the March 14 movement. If Sami and others like him in the coalition won't defend these values, then why March 14?" Soueid asked.
Responding to a question posed by LBCI on whether the Kataeb Party will distance itself from the coalition in the months to come, Soueid said that the March 14 constituency is necessary for any political party in the coalition to win parliamentary elections.
"March 14 has a strong voting force, the Kataeb Party knows that. Without March 14, it won't take seats in Zahle and Ashrafieh and other key regions," he said.
Gemayel, who was a guest on "Kalam Ennas," accused Soueid of turning the general-secretariat into a "Soueid club" and of failing to fulfill his role as coordinator.
"We had some war in 1958, we had a war in 1975, and then in 2008 we had another war: This is enough evidence that the concept of coexistence as mentioned in the constitution has failed ... But through recognizing everyone's concerns and specificity, we can build real partnerships in Lebanon," Gemayel said. "The way Soueid is speaking is not the right way of coordinating the work between March 14 supporters."
According to Gemayel, the general-secretariat needs to be restructured to meet the demands of its supporters. "Reorganization of March 14 is necessary to give voice to everyone in the coalition instead of keeping it to three or four people," he said.
Meanwhile Elias Atallah, a former MP and a member of the coalition, called on March 14 to stay unified.
"At a time when there is an armed political party in control of the Lebanon and helping the Assad regime to kill the Syrian people, it is unacceptable to talk about such disputes in the coalition," Atallah said.
"Why this panic? Why these reactions? What's wrong with Soueid criticizing Gemayel? We all need self-criticism to unify this coalition."

Chargers' potent offense looks for balance between run, pass
Chambers has just six catches, but four have been for touchdowns. That ties for the league TD lead with Anquan Boldin, who has 17 receptions.
Gates has just 10 receptions, but nine have gone for first downs.
"We all realize it," Chambers said. "It's going to be a different guy."
There was a time when Gates would have six receptions and be a little perturbed he didn't have nine. He recently realized he's been voted to four Pro Bowls and earned his way to zero Super Bowls.
"Once you've accomplished so much stuff individually, it's about us," said Gates. "It's about the team, what we do together. We're scoring 48 points. Let's just have fun. Who scores the touchdowns doesn't really matter if we're blowing someone out and having fun doing it."
What today against the Raiders brings, with Tomlinson's toe getting better and his penchant for running around the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, remains to be seen. But the Raiders play man-to-man with their excellent cornerbacks, which should present the opportunity for big plays.
And then there is the emergence of Buster Davis as an underneath threat if the Raiders are guarding against Chambers, Gates and Jackson deeper. Plus, Sproles and fullback Mike Tolbert have both reeled off big gains on short passes coming out of the backfield.
This, Rivers said a few days ago, is what he envisioned as he saw the offense improve last December and then felt the cohesion in training camp.
"We all have a pretty good grasp of what we're trying to do," Rivers said. "I think that's pretty evident early on and we'll continue to use that and spread the ball around and keep putting pressure on the board."

Scrapmetal (Red) Review
Scrapmetal (Red)
Transformers - Cybertron (Hasbro) - Scout Class
I was fascinated by these little buggers in the show. Transformers that were barely sentient and were considered to be a pest like ants. Sadly the figure is as annoying to us as the Scrapmetals are to the Transformers. It seemed to be an after thought to make these figures. They are mostly molded in color, a red or the orange variant, with other colors thrown in. The articulation is sloppy thanks to the complicated transformation procedure and it is easy to get stuck transformering the figure if you aren't careful. The sculpt of the head is very basic and features the barest of paint jobs. You get no weapons aside from the tail weapon that flips out. The "vehicle" mode is the most interesting as it is some kind of 4 legged mecha. In the cartoon one of the characters rebuilds one into a power suit type thing and I really would have liked to have seen this made as a variant as it had a normal TF head on it and seemed to get more design time than the original figures. The joints on my figure were loose and made getting it to stay upright in robot mode a pain so in the end I kept it in the mecha form. I"m not sure what the point to the variant is considering they appeared in every color you can think of on the show unless the orange one was meant to be rare. The figure wasn't very common in this area but when it did show up it was a peg warmer. These figures could have been a lot better with a few more details and accessories. 2 stars out of 5.

Lavoisier | Antoine Laurent | 1743-1794 | French chemist
Biographical Information
Occupation, Sphere of Activity
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was born in 1743. He studied mathematics and astronomy with Nicolas de Lacaille (1713-1762), chemistry with Guillaume-François Rouelle (1703-1770) and botany with Bernard de Jussieu (1699-1777) at the Collège Mazarin. From 1763-1767 he studied geology under Jean Etienne Guettard (1715-1786). He was one of the best known French scientists and an important government official. His theories of combustion, and his development of a new system of chemical nomenclature and the first modern textbook of chemistry led to his being known as the father of modern chemistry. As a scientist, Lavoisier demonstrated the nature of combustion, disproving the phlogiston theory. He also proposed the name "oxygen" for the substance previously known as "dephilogisticated air," and laid the framework for understanding chemical reactions as combinations of elements to form new materials.
As a government official, Lavoisier was successful in creating agricultural reform, serving as a tax collection official, and overseeing the government's manufacture of gunpowder. In 1787 Irenee du Pont was apprenticed as a bookkeeper to Lavoisier, then Commissioner of Powders. Over the three years he was with Lavoisier at the Royal Arsenal, Irenee was exposed to the art of gunpowder making. Lavoisier, who was responsible for changing French gunpowder from the very worst to the very best in the world, then offered the young Irenee a job at the powder factory outside of Paris. In 1765 he wrote and published a paper on how to improve the street lighting in Paris. For this and some works on agriculture, he was elected into the Royal Academy of Science in 1768. Also in this year, he joined the Farmer's General, a private company that collected taxes and tariffs for the government. In 1775, Lavoisier was appointed to the National Gunpowder Commission. He then moved to the Arsenal of Paris where he created a superb laboratory for his growing experimentation. In large part, he was able to afford his experiments and such a laboratory because of his inherited wealth. His new home quickly became a gathering place for scientists and freethinkers. Lavoisier was politically liberal and shared many of the ideas of the philosophers. He was deeply persuaded of the need for social reform in France. Because of this, he played an active part in the events preceeding the French Revolution. He served on a committee concerned with the social conditions of France and proposed tax reforms and new economic strategies. He also served on a committee that explored hospitals and prisons of Paris and then recommended remedies for their horrible state. During the revolution, he published a report on the state of France's finances. When the Estate's General reconvened in 1789, he became an alternate deputy and drew up a code of instructions for the other deputies to follow. Soon after the revolution began, Jean-Paul Marat and other radical journalists began to slander Lavoisier for being a member of the Farmer's General. On May 8th, 1794, all of the Farmer's General were arrested and thrown in prison. In a trial that lasted less than a day, they were all convicted and sentenced to execution.

opinionBy Robert F. Godec
Africa's wildlife is under threat as never before. Trafficking in ivory, rhino horn, and other wildlife products is more organized, widespread, and dangerous than they have been in the past.
Under the onslaught of violence, animal populations are dropping. In 1980, Kenya had 175,000 elephants, while today there are just 40,000. Other species, including rhinos, may soon be extinct in the wild.
We are all harmed by this senseless slaughter. Africans who depend on wildlife tourism lose their jobs. Communities and villages are undermined and threatened by the violence. Park rangers are killed. From 2006 to 2012 the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) lost 12 rangers in the fight against poachers. And as elephants, rhinos, and other animals are indiscriminately killed, the magnificent beauty and diversity of our natural world are destroyed.
It is time for all of us to respond to this threat. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently hosted a partnership meeting in Washington, DC called "Wildlife Trafficking and Conservation: A Call to Action," where she said, "It is one thing to be worried about poachers who come in and kill and take a few animals, a few tusks, a few horns, or other animal parts. It's something else when you've got helicopters, night vision goggles, and automatic weapons that pose a threat to human life as well as wildlife.
Local communities are becoming terrified. Local leaders are telling their national leaders they might lose control of large swaths of territory to these criminal gangs. Where criminal gangs come and go at their discretion, such a situation begins to provide safe havens for other sorts of threats to people and governments. Ultimately, wildlife stewardship is also a national security issue, a public health issue, and an economic security issue that is critical to each and every country."
At the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, we work to help Kenya protect its wildlife. We collaborate closely with the Government of Kenya and civil society as part of a broad effort to address the growing threat of poaching and wildlife trafficking. Over the past 50 years, we have provided training and equipment to the Kenya Wildlife Service and have carried out many programs to protect the country's parks and animals.
One of our joint projects with KWS is the Kenya Wildlife Conservation Project, which seeks to strengthen the management of Kenya's national parks and reserves. The project strengthens the "corporate capacity" of KWS to promote community-centered wildlife management and biodiversity conservation. A successful example is the introduction of the SAFARICARD - an online smartcard system for collecting park fees. Together our efforts have also resulted in the expansion of community-based conservation and led to the creation of Kenya's first voluntary conservation easement, which provides protected land to allow the free flow of animals into and out of Nairobi National Park.
The U.S. Embassy has also partnered with civil society, local government, and communities to develop and obtain approval for Kenya's first Land Use Master Plan for the greater Nairobi area to facilitate healthy co-existence of humans and wildlife within the rapidly expanding cityscape.
Beyond efforts here in Kenya to protect animals from poachers, we must also work together to drive down the demand for ivory, rhino horn, and other wildlife products. The U.S. government is working to spread the message that buying goods and products from trafficked wildlife and endangered species is unacceptable. We want "friends telling friends" they don't want to be associated with people who consume, display, or otherwise use products that come from endangered species anywhere in the world.
We need to put an end to the idea that people can enhance their social status through wildlife products and ensure everyone understands the damage poaching is doing. For example, a 2011 survey by the International Fund for Animal Welfare showed 70 percent of Chinese consumers think elephants are not slaughtered for their ivory. This misperception must be corrected.
While putting a stop to poaching will not be easy, we can succeed if we work together. We need governments, civil society, businesses, scientists, and activists to come together to educate people about the harms of wildlife trafficking. We need law enforcement personnel and park rangers to stop poachers from preying on wildlife.
We need trade experts to track the movement of goods and help enforce existing trade laws. We need finance experts to study and help close the black markets that deal in wildlife products. And most importantly, we need to persuade individuals to stop buying ivory, rhino horn, and other products that require the slaughter of wildlife.
In short, we need to galvanize bold, comprehensive, worldwide action against poaching. We need to stop the organized and criminal slaughter of wildlife. Doing so will protect not just the animals, but also the livelihood of many Kenyans, the diversity of the natural world, and the heritage of future generations. We can all do more. Let's work together to end this scourge.
Robert F.Godec is the charge d'affaires at the US Embassy in Nairobi.

It would be tempting to call the 2012 election the year of the woman — if only for the record number headed for the U.S. Senate and their instrumental role in re-electing President Barack Obama — but it was also the year of the Latino, the African-American and the young. That's the coalition that helped Mr. Obama, and that's the election result that ought to worry Republicans most.
Once the GOP gets past some respectable period of mourning that comes from losing a national election to an incumbent president at a time of persistently high unemployment, they are going to have to do some serious soul-searching. That the party continues to have strong appeal to older white men is unquestionable; that it can't stay relevant on the national stage with that identity is just as certain.

My sixth child is 17 months old. Three nights ago a positive pregnancy test showed I was pregnant with our 7th! We are very excited, but also, I'm a bit puzzled. You see, I took many negative pregnancy tests before I finally got a positive one.
I am 21 days past my estimated period, according to monthlyinfodotcom, because I was cycling irregularly and was cycling an average of every 40 days. The cycle spacing was shrinking down to 36 days before I got pregnant. So I really don't know when conception happened. When I finally got a positive pregnancy test the positive line was super dark. I was using cheap bulk tests but I thought that it would have showed up. I'm stumped.
So I'm 61 days past the first day of my last cycle.
How many days post conception would you guess that I am?
When did you last get a negative test?
Now mom to DS1 born January 2010 and DS2 born December 2014!
12/08 (6 weeks), 1/13 (11 weeks), & 12/13 (9.5 weeks)
Good question. I've been testing every few days or so. So it's a blur. Lots and lots of negative tests, wondering where my period suddenly went. Then suddenly, dark positives. Well, this pregnancy is going to be a bit of a mystery unless I get an ultrasound which before now has not been a thing I do, and probably won't be doing this time around.
Update, last night I took a pregnancy test that said I was 3+ weeks past conception. That's where the reading maxes out. So I guess I'm at least 5 weeks along. *shrug*
Congrats on your pregnancy though
I would guess that you're probably around 5 weeks since you were testing regularly. I would think you would have picked up a BFP fairly soon. I really dunno though! Back in the olden days they would confirm and date a pregnancy by feeling quickening. Do you remember how early you felt movement with your 6th?
Mama to 5 amazing kids CJ AG
JJ SD and my UC baby HD And married to my highschool sweetheart
Congrats! I am pregnant with number #7 too. I have always had long, erratic cycles and several "late" babies, so finally with this one and the last one we just decided to get early ultrasounds done to better pinpoint an edd.
But based on your numbers alone, and my understanding that ovulation generally occurs two weeks before the next period, I would say you likely ovulated around Jan 27th and are 7+4 based on the 36 days or based on the 40 days you would be right at 7 weeks.
Do you remember having any signs of ovulation at all? I don't really chart or anything but according to what my ultrasound is saying I pinpointed conception exactly to the day I thought I was ovulating based on mucous.
Also I have gotten false negatives early on with a few of my children.
Typically, I can't get pregnant until my cycles shrink down to 28 days. The last 2 times I got pregnant I found out the day I missed my period.
You both have good input. So glad I posted my question. :)

The fleet of satellites that makes up the Global Positioning System (GPS) could be a tempting target for enemies of the US, says a Department of Transportation report. While the military is aware of the risks, civilian aircraft, ships and cars often are not. GPS could be damaged via physical attack on its satellites or electronic jamming, so users need to have access to anti-jamming technologies and back-ups for critical systems. "The GPS system cannot serve as the sole source for position location or precision timing for certain critical applications," says the report.

Speaking My Mind
Quabbin's Secret
Your article "Secret Places" (March/April) shows the beauty of the Quabbin Reservation. Hidden beneath pictures and words lie the four doomed towns from which 2,500 inhabitants were forced to relocate and 7,561 bodies required reinterment in other cemeteries. My paternal grandparents lived in Greenwich (one of the flooded towns) and raised five children. The sacrifice of all the inhabitants will not be forgotten. This was an early act of eminent domain, which shows the power of law to devastate lives

Family Ties
My heart was so touched by Thom Rock's story, "Baby Boy #3331″ (March/April). I'm still dabbing away the tears. My parents were my birth parents, and they were wonderful and loving. My dad died of cancer when I was young. Mr. Rock wrote so beautifully about his birth mom and his situation. I hope one day he finds Rosalie and the circle can be completed for both of them.
Donna Skjeveland, Holbrook, NY
The piece by Thom Rock ("Baby Boy #3331″) was pretty difficult for me to read. My mother gave up a baby for adoption in 1944. My half-brother, Joe, contacted me 15 years ago. He was on a search for his birth mother and birth family. The story has a very happy ending, thank God. I wish the best for the author.

2d3 Sensing is introducing the third edition of its processing exploitation and dissemination software.
The company makes what 2d3 president Jon Damush describes as a "bridge" between an operating system and the actual intelligence analysis software. There are three major iterations 2d3's software. One version is what could be akin to a toolkit for other developers to use to create software.
A second version acts as an operating system of sorts for intelligence software.
The last version is a graphical interface for video streaming coming off unmanned aircraft.
Some of the latest features include some ability to cue human users to events of interest in a video feed.
