Nokia Announces New Cseries, Eseries Phones
Article Comments 12
Apr 13, 2010, 7:33 AM by Philip Berne
updated Apr 13, 2010, 11:06 AM
Nokia today unveiled a trio of new messaging devices, including new phones in the burgeoning Cseries line. All of the new phones, the C3, C6 and E5, sport a full QWERTY keyboard, and the C6 features a touchscreen, as well.
- C6: The Nokia C6 is a touchscreen QWERTY slider running Symbian S60 5th edition. The phone features a high resolution, 3.2 inch screen. Around back, the C6 uses a 5 megapixel camera. The phone gets Nokia Messaging support and the free Ovi Maps navigation service. Nokia says the phone will last for 7 hours of talking time. The Nokia C6 will be available Globally in Q2 2010. Nokia will have two variants of this phone, one of which will support AT&T's 3G network in the 850 band.
- C3: The Nokia C3 is the least expensive of the bunch, coming in at €90 without subsidies. The slab QWERTY phone runs the simpler S40 operating system, and it gets Nokia Messaging support, but not Ovi Maps. The Nokia C3 does feature Wi-Fi, but other features are more low-end. The phone lacks 3G networking capabilities, and sticks with quad-band EDGE for data. The Nokia C3 will also be available in Q2 2010.
- E5: The Nokia E5 succeeds the Nokia E71 and E72 on the business phone lineup. Though the E5 is a bit thicker than its predecessors, it's also a bit lighter. Nokia claims the E5 will get 18.5 hours of talk time. The phone runs Symbian S60 3rd edition, and will come with Ovi Maps on board. Nokia lists the E5 in two distinct 3G flavors, one of which includes support for AT&T's 3G radio bands, though the company has yet to confirm that we'll see this phone stateside. It will be available in Q3 2010.

The veterinary staff should encourage all animals to be
microchipped, particularly dogs, cats, parrots, and horses. Microchipping serves many purposes, especially in emergency
Microchips provide an opportunity to reunite pets
and owners quickly. Animal Control Officers will be provided with "wands"
with which to scan for microchips. If a microchip is located, the wand will
provide owner and address information. Officers could then return the animal
to the owner rather than transporting the animal to the facility.
In addition to quickly reuniting animals and
owners, the ability to identify animals by microchip will also assist the
section by saving space, food, time, and effort that are often expended on
animals being held in the facility.
Recent weather related incidents
demonstrated that animals can be quickly separated from their homes and owners and, often times, at a separation of
great distances. Microchipping aided in those scenarios, including in
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, by identifying animals and
their owners quickly and reuniting them safely with minimal cost, time and
The following document can be used as a resource to encourage
animal owners to microchip their pets.
It is always sad to see a flyer stapled to a signpost or on
a bulletin board at the grocery store with a picture of a
lost Snuggles or Scruffy. You imagine a child waiting for
the phone to ring, hoping that some kind person happens to
find his kitty and see his flyer. Sadly, once a pet is lost,
the odds are against her finding her way home again.
According to the American Humane Association, only about
seventeen percent of lost dogs and two percent of cats ever
find their way back from shelters to their original owners.
Almost 20 million pets are euthanized every year because
their owners cannot be found. There are ways to beat these
odds though, and they are a little higher-tech than the
nametag and collar you are used to. To give your pet the
best chance to be identified, no matter how far he roams,
have him implanted with a microchip.
Tags and collars are a good start—they are certainly better
than no ID at all—but they are not 100 percent dependable.
Tags can fade, rust, or get scratched and be impossible to
read. Collars can tear or slip off, or even worse, get
caught on something while your pet is wandering in the
wilderness and hurt or kill him. With microchipping, on the
other hand, a veterinarian injects a tiny computer
chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just under your pet's
skin, between the shoulder blades. Then the number on the
computer chip is entered in an international database, like
the Central Animal Registry or PETtrac. If your dog or cat
is found, any animal hospital, shelter, or humane society
can use a microchip reader to read the unique ID number
contained on the chip. The veterinarian or worker then calls
the database, or accesses it on the computer, and enters the
number given off by the microchip. The database matches the
number to your name and phone number. The chip cannot be
lost or damaged, and it lasts for the pet's lifetime.
The microchip is
convenient, safe, and reliable, but it still is not as
popular in the US as it is in Canada and Great Britain.
Though many veterinarians and animal shelters are actively
working to inform their clients about microchipping, there
are still a number of myths keeping pet owners from
microchipping their pets.
The myth:
The implantation procedure is too expensive.
The truth:
While the price can vary from one veterinarian to another,
it often falls between $25 and $40. A lot of veterinarians
will charge even less if they perform the implantation at
the same time as another procedure, like spaying, neutering,
or dental work. It is a one-time fee; the chip never needs
maintenance or replacement. There may be a fee, generally
under $20, to enter your pet's ID number in a database, and
there may be a small fee for changing your address, phone
number, or other contact information in the database. Still,
microchip identification is cheaper than making flyers,
calling around town, and taking time off work to find a lost
The myth:
is going to hurt my pet to get the chip implanted.
The truth:
The procedure is simple, routine, and painless, and it does
not require any anesthesia. Your pet simply gets an
injection just under the loose skin between the shoulder
blades; it is a lot like getting vaccinated. Most animals do
not react at all.
The myth:
They could not possibly give every pet with a microchip a
unique number. My pet's number will be duplicated.
The truth:
The way technology works today, these tiny microchips can
hold huge amounts of information. In fact, the microchips
are designed to produce 275 billion different identification
numbers. On top of that, manufacturers add unique product
codes and manufacturer's codes to identify their chips. With
all the possible combinations of product codes and ID
numbers, there are more than enough numbers to make sure
every pet has a completely unique number.
The myth:
Most shelters and veterinarians do not have microchip
readers, so they will not be able to identify my pet.
The truth:
It is true that a microchip will not work to identify your
pet unless your pet comes in contact with a microchip
reader, and there are some shelters and veterinarians in the
US that do not have readers yet. (In Canada, almost all the
animal control services and veterinarians have readers.) But
the three main microchip manufacturers offer microchip
readers to humane societies, shelters, and veterinarians for
free or for a small fee. Until recently, each brand of
microchip could only be read by its own brand of microchip
reader. Recently, though, universal readers that will read
several brands of microchips have been made available to the
shelter community. Ask your veterinarian, you are nearby
humane society or shelter, or the animal control department
in your area whether they have microchip readers readily
available. If not, encourage them to get the readers. Of
course, to be sure your pets will be returned to you, you
should identify them as many ways as you can, with a tag, a
microchip, and even a tattoo.
The myth:
Eventually, the microchip will wear out and I will have to
have it replaced.
The truth:
The chip does not have an internal battery or power source.
Most of the time it is inactive. When the microchip reader
is passed over it, it gets enough power from the reader to
transmit the pet's ID number. Since there's no battery and
no moving parts, there's nothing to wear out or replace. The
microchip will last throughout your pet's lifetime.
The myth:
cat never goes outside. She does not need to have a
microchip ID.
The truth:
It is wonderful that you are keeping your pet safe
inside, but a guest or a repair person could easily leave
the door hanging open, or a screen could come loose from an
open window. Unaltered pets in particular will take any
chance to roam. There is a possibility that your house could
be damaged in heavy storm, flood, or other natural disaster,
causing your cat to run away in fear. Pets can even be
stolen-particularly birds and exotic or purebred animals. No
matter how closely you watch your favorite animal friend,
there is always a chance she could get out, and if she does
not have any ID, it will be extremely hard to find her.
myth: If someone else ever
tries to claim my pet, the microchip ID number will not hold
up in court.
The truth:
This issue has not actually come up in a court of law yet.
However, a microchip ID number is unique, it cannot be
changed, and it links a pet to its owner through an
international database. It works a lot like the serial
numbers that link vehicles, stereos, TV sets, and other
valuable possessions to their owners. The American and
Canadian Kennel Clubs have recognized microchipping as
definitive proof of a dog's identity and ownership, and
accept microchip identification to register purebred dogs.
If you own a very valuable pet, or if you are afraid there
might be a question about who has custody of your pet,
microchip identification could be a big help.
The myth: It
is not safe for my dog to have a foreign object inside his
The truth:
Veterinarians have been implanting microchips in animals for
years, and the process has been proven to be very safe. The
chip is made out of an inert, biocompatible substance, which
means it will not cause an allergic reaction in your furry
friend, and it will not degenerate over time. The first
versions of the microchip would sometimes migrate from where
they were injected, but manufacturers now design the chips
with anti-migrating properties. When they are implanted
properly, today's chips will not migrate. Once they are in
place, they will not move around or get near any delicate
tissues or organs. You can help make sure the microchip
heals securely by keeping your pet calm and quiet for the 24
hours following injection. Because the microchip is placed
just under the skin and not internally, microchip reading is
completely safe as well.
Microchipping is safe, effective, durable, and dependable,
but it cannot absolutely guarantee that a lost pet will be
found. The best way to keep your pet safe is to use more
than one form of identification. Microchips are long lasting
and a wonderful means of identification, but there is a
chance a shelter will not have a reader, so a tattoo would
be an effective backup form of identification. If kind
strangers find your dog in the street, on the other hand,
they will not have a reader handy to check for a microchip
and will not know where to call to match an animal's tattoo
to an owner. A tag with your name and address would let them
bring your pet right back to your door. Another possibility
would be a tag that informs readers that your pet has been
microchipped and/or tattooed and gives them the number to
call to reach the ID number database. There's always the
possibility that one kind of identification could fail, but
if your pet has two or three kinds of ID, there's a good
chance that at least one will help bring her home to you.
Talk to your veterinarian about the best types of
identification for your pet.
In a perfect world, leashes, fences, and doors would be
enough to keep your pet safe at home. In the real world,
accidents happen, and your pet depends on you to protect her
against the things that could go wrong. With a little effort
now, you can take a big step toward ensuring that your furry
friend will be with you in the future.

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for Bliznets.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for Bliznets.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for Bliznets.
Bliznets is a late-Pleistocene basaltic stratovolcano located on the crest of the central Sredinny Range SW of Kebeney volcano. Youthful cinder cones were constructed on the east flank of 1244-m-high Bliznets, and a group of young cones and associated lava flows blanket the northern side of the volcano. Early geologic studies in the Sredinny Range (Ogorodov et al., 1972) identified numerous Holocene eruptive centers based primarily on morphological criteria. However, later work has suggested that Sredinny Range volcanoes are less mantled by Holocene tephras than eastern Kamchatka volcanoes and therefore appear more youthful, so that Holocene eruptions are uncertain for many of these Sredinny Range eruptive vents.
The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Bliznets. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 10,000 years ago, information might be found on the Bliznets page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).
The Global Volcanism Program has no synonyms or subfeatures listed for Bliznets.
The Global Volcanism Program has no photographs available for Bliznets.
The following references have all been used during the compilation of data for this volcano, it is not a comprehensive bibliography. Discussion of another volcano or eruption (sometimes far from the one that is the subject of the manuscript) may produce a citation that is not at all apparent from the title.

Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 25th. First celebrated in 1621 in celebration of a bountiful harvest at Plymouth after the harsh winter, it initially resembled a traditional English harvest feast. The Wampanoag Indians were even invited to join the party. George Washington would be the first American president to declare the day a holiday in 1789. Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Thanksgiving Proclamation near the close of the Civil War, and Franklin D. Roosevelt declared the day should fall on the third Thursday of October to extend the holiday shopping season. However, when all was said and done, the fourth Thursday of November would become the official Thanksgiving Day in America.
On November 2nd, a U.S. helicopter is downed in Iraq. It's the single deadliest strike against American soldiers since the war began. Sixteen U.S. soldiers are killed in the crash and 21 others are injured, and, on November 7th, six more U.S. soldiers die as their Black Hawk helicopter crashes in Tikrit. Then, on November 12th, a fuel truck blows up in Iraq at an Italian police compound in Nasiriya, killing 25 and injuring 100. The blast completely rips the front from a three-story building, which housed the police station. On November 15th, two U.S. helicopters collide in Iraq, killing 17. On November 28th, Iraqi guerrillas use rocket-propelled grenades to blow up a car carrying eight Spanish intelligence officers, seven die. Meanwhile, in Tikrit, two Japanese officials are killed during an ambush.Art Carney dies at age 85 in Chester, Connecticut. Carney was most popular for his Ed Norton role in Jackie Gleason's "Honeymooners" program. He was also the first to play the Felix Unger character in the Broadway premiere of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple" and he won an Academy Award for his role in "Harry and Tonto."
On November 18th, a Massachusetts court rules in favor of gay marriage. The decision from the state supreme court rules that barring gay and lesbian couples from marrying violates the state's constitution. The Chief Justice added, "to deny the protections, benefits and obligations conferred by civil marriage," to gay and lesbian couples was unconstitutional as it "denied the dignity and equality of all individuals, making them second-class citizens."
November 22nd marks the 40th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot to death while his motorcade passed though Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. He was 46 years old, and he was the fourth president to be assassinated and the eighth to die while in office. Much controversy has surrounded the incident, as the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed within 48 hours by a local nightclub owner, Jack Ruby, while Oswald was being ushered to a police car in the garage of the city jail. Popular conspiracy theories have pointed to a host of dark independent and government forces behind the tragedy, including the Mafia, CIA, Fidel Castro and Lyndon B. Johnson as well as grand concepts, which include various combinations of all of the above acting in concert.
Veterans Day, November 11th, originated from the final day of World War I, officially became a holiday in 1938, but it was called Armistice Day. In 1954, in the wake of World War I and the Korean Conflict, congress eliminated the word Armistice and dubbed the holiday Veterans Day.

Is Sia Quitting?
The Aussie Singer Says She's Unsure About Her Future
Sia Furler can't seem to make her mind up about her own 'Destiny.'
Earlier this week the Aussie singer/songwriter shocked fans when she announced she was quitting music – but the following day she totally change her mind!
At the time the star confessed she was fed up of being in the spotlight and wanted a "normal job," after suffering from panic attacks and depression.
She revealed she would be taking a step back from the music industry following the release of her fourth record 'We Are Born' in June – but now she's retracted her comments, insisting she has NO plans to quit, but does wants to slow down and have a family.
In a statement issued to PerezHilton, she wrote, "I just wanted to let you know my plan, today at least. I am going to promote and tour the s**t out of this record because I am proud of it, and I have made a commitment to many people to do so.
"My plan is to keep making records, but not promote or tour them.
"My plan is to do maybe three gigs a year, in a different city of the world every year, until I'm too tired or fat to get out of the house. I want to have a baby, we are planning one and I want that to be a priority over the next few years."
We wonder what she'll say tomorrow...

How Much Weed Does Snoop Lion (Formerly Snoop Dogg) Smoke Every Day?
It's safe to say it's more than your average American stoner.
In an AMA chat on Reddit (via Huffington Post) on December 5, the rapper formerly known as Snoop Dogg opened up about his weed habit.
When asked how much he smokes in a week, Snoop responded, "81 blunts a day x 7." You know, just a lil' bit.
He also revealed that Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Dave Chappelle "can smoke uhearme."
In more "sobering" news, the longest he's gone without a little Mary Jane has been 164 days.
The more you know!

New model expands the scoreable universe
Using a more inclusive scoring model such as the new VantageScore® 3.0, lenders can score up to 30 million consumers who are labeled "unscoreable" by traditional models. Nearly 25 percent of these consumers are prime or near-prime credit quality. [ READ MORE ]
Consumers with HELOCs have the highest average credit score
While the overall average VantageScore® for consumers in Q4 2012 was 748, the average score can vary greatly by specific loan product. For example, the average VantageScore for consumers with a home equity line of credit is 864, which is the highest average score for all products, reflecting tighter lending requirements. Student loans have the lowest average VantageScore of 695.[ READ MORE ]
Most "unscoreable" consumers are not subprime
The average unscoreable consumer has a good job and a better-than-adequate credit profile. Sixty-one percent of unscoreable consumers hold professional level or skilled labor jobs, 30 percent have credit profiles that fall into the super prime/prime category and 20 percent are considered near-prime.[ READ MORE ]
Almost half of consumers want to improve credit scores
According to a recent survey that asked Americans about their understanding of credit scores 83 percent have checked their credit scores and nearly half (42 percent) want to improve credit scores, but don't know how. Sixty-five percent of respondents indicated they consider their credit score when engaging in credit-related activities such as applying for a new card or skipping a payment. When it comes to gender and credit, women (68 percent) are more likely than men (61 percent) to consider their credit score before making credit usage decisions. [ READ MORE ]
Most consumers see score improvement
Roughly 70 percent of credit scores change by up to 20 points in any given 90-day window. Most consumers experience a score improvement rather than a score drop, with 56 percent of consumers shifting higher, 34 percent shifting lower and 10 percent staying the same. [ READ MORE ]
Two-thirds of the national population has one or more bankcards
Bankcard originations have continued to increase, with Q3 2012 originations increasing 32 percent over Q3 2011. On average, 66 percent of the population now holds one or more bankcards. However, the percentage of consumers who have a bankcard varies greatly by VantageScore® tier: [ READ MORE ]
Retail card balances vary by credit score tier
As of Q2 2012, subprime borrowers are carrying the largest retail card balances, with an average card balance per account of $620 and $700 for VantageScore® D and F tiers, respectively. The national average balance on a retail account is $329 — an increase of 39 percent over 2011. VantageScore A tier (super-prime) consumers carry […][ READ MORE ]
Bankcard utilization rates declining, but still high for subprime
Not surprisingly, bankcard utilization is the highest among subprime consumers with VantageScore D and F tiers having average bankcard utilization rates of 68% and 81% respectively. In comparison, VantageScore A tier (super prime) consumers had an average bankcard utilization rate of 6% and VantageScore B tier (prime) consumers had an average bankcard utilization rate of […][ READ MORE ]
Study ranks cities with the highest credit scores
In Experian's recent State of Credit study which analyzes credit scores in more than 100 cities, Minneapolis took the number one spot, with an average VantageScore® of 787.

DURHAM, N.H. – Kate Keagins (Bay Shore, N.Y.) scored a game-high four goals, including one with 11 seconds remaining in regulation, but the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team was fended off by the University at Albany, 9-8, in Saturday afternoon's America East lacrosse action at Memorial Field.
UNH falls to 3-9 overall and 1-3 in America East with its fourth consecutive loss. Albany, which has won four straight in the series vs. the Wildcats, is now 9-4, 2-2.
Keagins, named UNH's America East Player of the Game, also tallied five draw controls, two caused turnovers and one ground ball; with those numbers, she eclipsed the century mark in both DC (102) and GB (101) for her career. Rachael Nock (Severna Park, Md.) also tallied multiple points with a goal and an assist, while Ilana Cohen (Andover, Mass.) finished with one goal, two DC, two CTO and one GB.
UNH goalkeeper Kathleen O'Keefe (Chatham, N.J.) was credited with eight saves, including six in the second half, and two ground balls. UA counterpart Anna Berman stopped five shots. The Great Danes' attack was led by Rachael Burek, who was selected the UA America East Player of the Game with four goals, one GB and one DC. Ariana Parker (2g, 1a), Nicole Eamer (1g, 1a) and Jess Antelmi (2a) had multi-point efforts.
Leading 9-7 with three minutes remaining in regulation, Albany gained possession on a failed clear attempt by UNH. The visitors went into a spread offense to protect the ball, but Laura Puccia (Fairport, N.Y.) corralled a ground ball at the restraining line with 27 seconds on the clock. She charged downfield and drew a free position with 20 seconds to play. Puccia's shot sailed wide, but the 'Cats retained possession and Keagins, dodging across the fan from right to left, fired a shot into the goal to trim the deficit to 9-8 at 11 seconds.
The ensuing draw control was directed towards the UA goal and Keagins was fouled immediately upon gathering the ball. On the restart with seven seconds remaining, Keagins was slowed by three defenders, lost her footing and then the ball fell out of her crosse to the turf. UA's Eamer corralled the ball in the waning seconds to secure the victory.
The Great Danes opened the game on a 3-0 run. O'Keefe denied Parker on a free-position shot at 28:18, but Day collected a loose ball in front of the cage and scored at 28:12. Antelmi, positioned deep on the left wing, centered a low pass to Burek cutting down the middle and her one-timer extended the lead to 2-0 at 23:28.
New Hampshire was awarded a free position at the top-left of the arc at 20:10. Puccia immediately fired a pass to Kayleigh Hinkle (Glenelg, Md.) at the near post, but Berman quickly moved into position to preserve the two-goal margin. Albany advanced the ball to the other end of the field, where Eamer rolled behind the net around the right post and placed a high shot into the goal to give UA a 3-0 lead at 19:31.
The Wildcats scored three goals in 31 seconds to quickly level the score. Nock, at the left post, set up the first tally when she fired a pass across the goal mouth to Puccia, who scored into the open right side at 16:35 to extend her goal-scoring streak to six games. The ensuing draw control bounded into UNH's offensive zone, where Keagins gained possession behind the defense, raced down the left portion of the fan and rifled a shot inside the far post at 16:24.
Keagins once again gathered the ball on the draw control and slipped a pass ahead to Jenny Simpson (New Canaan, Conn.), who pivoted to her right to elude a pair of defenders and then scored on a high shot to tie the score, 3-3, at 16:04.
UNH won the battle for the draw control for the third consecutive time – this one by Cori Rees (East Hampstead, N.H.) – which led to Puccia's shot at 15:02 that caromed off the post.
Albany successfully cleared the ball to its offensive end, where the combination of Antelmi and Burek produced a carbon copy of the team's second goal to put the visitors back on top, 4-3, at 13:41. Mel Rorie's free-position shot at 12:56 ricocheted off the crossbar, but Burek gathered the ground ball and Parker maneuvered deep through the left wing to extend the advantage to 5-3 at 12:45.
Cohen was awarded a free position at the top of the fan. After a few steps, she placed a bounce shot over Berman and under the crossbar to lift the Wildcats within 5-4 at 6:30.
Parker drove down the middle of the fan to reestablish a two-goal lead, 6-4, at 3:18 and that was the halftime score.
Albany opened second-half play with possession. Parker hit the post and then was denied by O'Keefe, who also turned aside Rorie's free-position shot. The Great Danes' extended possession continued, however, and Parker, from the top of the fan, lobbed a pass over a double team to the middle of the fan, where Burek caught the pass and scored for a 7-4 lead at 26:10.
Keagins netted a free-position goal, her second tally of the game and 20th of the season, to trim the deficit to 7-5 at 24:38. Nock was awarded a free position on the far-right side of the fan, advanced to the near post and dropped her crosse low to beat Berman and make the score 7-6 at 18:31.
O'Keefe kept the 'Cats within one goal by denying Antelmi at 16:14 and Parker at 15:58, then at the other end of the field Berman robbed Simpson, who fired a one-timer off Cohen's feed from the middle of the fan at 13:20.
Burek scored a man-up free-position goal at 12:51 to give the Great Danes an 8-6 lead at 12:51. Cohen gained possession of the ensuing draw, but Nock's shot sailed high and Berman snared Puccia's attempt to keep UNH at bay. An Albany turnover led to a free position for the Wildcats, and Keagins dodged from the top-left of the fan to the middle before firing a shot into the goal that lifted the home squad within 8-7 at 10:23.
Pollock, in front of the goal, converted Eamer's pass into her 21st goal of the season and a 9-7 lead at 8:27.
UNH finished with a 23-22 shot advantage, as well as an 11-8 edge in draw controls. UA had the advantage in ground balls (14-8) and turnovers (9-11).
New Hampshire returns to action April 18 (6 p.m.) at Columbia University. The Wildcats' next home game is Senior Day on April 21 against UMBC. Game time at Memorial Field is 12 p.m.

SOME people may shudder at the idea of scientists creating synthetic life but not, it seems, the British. At least that's the message from a UK government-funded "dialogue" with the public about synthetic biology.
"We expected people to be very wary of claims about creating synthetic life, but they weren't," says Brian Johnson, the independent consultant who led the exercise. "They were quite relaxed about it, and seemed to see it as a natural extension of biological knowledge," he says.
"Those with disabilities or illness were most keen because of the medical potential, whereas others urged caution till the societal and ethical issues had been considered," says Johnson, whose report on the dialogue was published on Monday on the bbsrc.ac.uk website.
Participants were most concerned about who was doing the research, for what reason, and who will benefit. The potential of synthetic ...

I'm watching Underworld: Evolution and I love vampires so I wrote this because my mind is in a dark state..
You are my vampire. Your blood flows through my veins. Strikes by darkness, your soul is mine. Blood covers my body as you lie there gasping for life. You are my love, you are my life.. I can never let you go. Thirst takes over your soul, it is your turn now.. Taste my blood, and you'll feel alive again. The cycle may seem viscous but we will never perish. My love for you and the lust for blood.. They do not matter anymore when we are with one another. The pain is our pleasure in this dark world..

Team Godzilla
On the GT-R front, Castallana Jr. and Vivkid brought a pair of turbocharged coupes that appeared ready to tear down skyscrapers. Vivkid's was the milder of the two imports, with an Iveytune-calibrated PCM, exhaust upgrades, and a quartet of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. Castallana's car, on the other hand, boasted a fresh Iveytune-built VR38 V-6. A pair of GT30-76 turbochargers provide the 28 psi of boost, while a Boostlogic intercooler keeps air temperatures under control. As on Vivkid's GT-R, sticky MT radials stand in at all four corners.
We knew as soon as the car rolled out of the trailer that Castallana was a serious player. He built this car to dominate the GT-R realm, and early on it seemed he had hit his mark: His first run out of the trailer with the brand-new combination was a 9.78 at 148 mph--and this was on what he called a "soft" tune. We have no doubt that this car is 8-second capable with more boost and a tank full of race fuel.
The Matchup
After a few shakedown runs, Castallana turned up the boost knob by just one click and scored what would be the quickest run of the shootout with a 9.52 at 152 mph. Having clearly established his car as the class of the field, Castallana motored into the pits and let Vivkid duke it out with the Corvette contingent.
Longo would answer the call to take on Vivkid's GT-R, as the trans in Barbaro's C6 was having trouble upshifting under wide-open throttle. (Still, the white C6 had already gone 10.35 at 135 mph.) With Longo's Vette running 10.10s at 140 mph, and Vivkid's car in the 10.30 range at 137 mph, the matchup looked to be a close one.
The menacing, black C6 howled in anger as Longo heated the tires in the burnout box. Vivkid simply went around the water and cleaned off his Mickey Thompson rubber--all that's required when drag racing an AWD car. As both cars pulled to the starting line, seemingly everyone at the track stopped what they were doing to watch the match race.
Longo used his years of racing experience to attack the tree and got the early jump, his Vette roaring to a 1.55 60-foot time, while Vivkid trailed with a 1.62. The supercharged C6 stayed ahead of the rapacious import and cruised to victory with its best run of the day: 10.01 at 140 mph. Vivkid was close behind with a 10.32 at 138 mph.
Castallana quickly rolled off another mid-9-second run following the grudge race--just to remind everyone that although the C6s had won the battle, he was still winning the war.
Nissan is clearly serious about keeping the GT-R competitive, having increased the car's output in both 2011 and 2012. And while the LS-powered Corvette has a plethora of aftermarket upgrades available to keep it competitive, building a legitimate Godzilla hunter is going to take some real work.

I can start downloading the file from the "graphical" page with:
lynx ftp://login:pasword@server/file
but this doesn't work:

I tried declaring the port (server:21) and the file type (;type =I), but
no luck. Again, I can get the file with wget using the same login and

Date and place of birth:
He was born in Akron, Ohio on June 6, 1943.
Ethnic group and gender:
He is a white male, both parents were born in Kansas City.
Interesting personal and family information:
His interest in Science had many roots. Some came from his mother as she finished her BA Degree, she fell in love with science. it was from his mother that he first learned of' Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Kepler, and Darwin. They spent hours together collecting single-celled organisms from a local pond and watching them with a microscope she had received as a gift from his father. Mostly they talked and read together. From her he learned the wonder of ideas and the beauty of Nature. From his father he learned to build things, to take them apart, and to fix mechanical and electrical equipment in general.
His mother, Esther Rhoads, was the third of six children of Charlotte Kraft and Errett Stanley Rhoads, a wealthy manufacturer of furniture in the Kansas City area. She liked the unusual name Errett so much that she gave it to him as his middle name. She picked the name Richard after the crusading English king (the Lion-Hearted).
His father, Frank Dudley Smalley, Jr., was of four children born to Mary Rice Burkholder and Frank Dudley Smalley Sr., a railroad mail clerk in Kansas City. Although his father went by the name of June, short for Junior, he never quite forgave his father for not having given him a name of his own, and for not having aspired to more in life. His father started work as a carpenter, and then as a printer's devil, working for the local newspaper, The Kansas City Star, and later for a farm implement trade journal, Implement and Tractor. By the time he retired in 1963 he had long since risen to be CEO of this company, and a group of several others that published trade journals in the agriculture industry throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Anecdotes (interesting stories about the person):
He had met Judith Grace Sampieri who was a wonderful young secretary at Shell. They were married on May 4 of 1968. Soon thereafter they decided to reapply for graduate school. Since Judy's family lived in New Jersey, he decided to apply to Princeton University, and was accepted. In the late fall of 1968 he was reclassified 1A for the draft and reported to the processing center in Newark for his physical. At the end of the day he ended up in the group who had passed. They were told to put their affairs in order since they would soon be called up. However, in a great stoke of luck, within a week, his wife told him she was pregnant, and within just a few more weeks his draft board reclassified him, which meant he would not be drafted. On June 9, 1969 they were blessed with the birth of a beautiful child, Chad Richard. Later that summer he held his son on his lap as Neil Armstrong first stepped out onto the Moon.
Area of science in which the person was involved:
He received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1973 at Princeton University, USA. He is a Professor of Chemistry at Rice University since 1981 and also Professor of Physics at the same university since 1990. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the USA and other bodies.
Accomplishments (scientific and humanitarian):
*BS 1965 (Michigan)
*MA 1971, Ph.D. 1973 (Princeton)
*Alfred P. Sloan Fellow
*National Academy of Sciences
*American Academy of Arts and Sciences
*Robert A. Welch Award in Chemistry
*1993 Europhysics Prize
Other interesting information:
His research laboratory is best known for the discovery of C60 and the fullerenes in 1985.
Throughout his distinguished research career, he has maintained a strong commitment to teaching. He has also succeeded in making Rice an important center for basic research, having founded the interdisciplinary Rice Quantum institute in 1979.
He has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of the Buckminsterfullerene.
Harold W. Kroto
Date and place of birth:
He was born in 1939 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, U.K.
Ethnic group and gender:
He is a white male of English ancestry.
Interesting personal and family information:
The most interesting experience for Kroto was being knighted in 1996. Now he goes by the title, "Sir Harold Kroto". Being a true Britain, Harold has kept his family out of the limelight, therefore, any information about his family is difficult to find.
Anecdotes (interesting stories about the person):
One of Kroto's aspirations-to find extraterrestrial buckyballs-was realized in the Bummer of 1992,.when Jeffrey Bada, a geochemist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., described buckyballs that may have come from outside our solar system. By analyzing the amount and isotope ratio of helium atoms trapped inside the buckyballs found in rocks taken from a 1.8 billion-year old meteor crash Bite in Canada, Bada surmised that the molecules were formed near a red-giant star. This very place Kroto had suggested almost twenty years ago that unusual interstellar carbon chains might be found!
Area of Science in which the person was involved:
Harold Kroto graduated with a degree in Chemistry in 1961 from Sheffield University. In 1964, he received his Ph.D. for research on high resolution electronic spectra of free radicals produced by flash photolysis. After two years of research in electronic and microwave spectroscopy at the National Research Council in Ottawa, Canada, he spent one year at Bell Laboratories NJ studying liquid phase interactions by Raman spectroscopy and he also carried out studies in Quantum Chemistry. He started his academic career at the University of Sussex (Britain) in 1967. Here he began his research on spectroscopic characterization of new molecules that contained multiple bonds. This work led to the production of the first molecules with a carbon phosphorus double bonds. Eventually, this research led-to the discovery of the carbon 60, named Buckminsterfullerene.
Accomplishments (scientific and humanitarian):
*Sir Harold Kroto has a long list of accomplishments beginning in:
* 1981-82, A tildon Lecturer (Royal Society of Chemistry)
* 1990, Elected Fellow of the Royal Society
* 1991, Royal Society Research Fellowship
* 1992, International Prize for New Material (American Physical Society) Italgas Prize for Innovation in Chemistry
*1993, Lonstaff Medal (Royal Society of Chemistry) University Of Limburg (DHC)
*1994, Hewlett Packard Europhysics Prize Poet Hennessy/Louis Vuitton Science Art Prize
*1995, University of Sheffield (Hon. Degree) University of Kingston (Hon. Degree)
* 1996, Knighthood (Sir Harold Kroto)
Other interesting information:
He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1996.

Upon being recruited to join the Jedi Order, Kota was brought to Coruscant to learn under legendary Jedi Master Yoda. As he matured, he became known for his courage and became a well respected general during the Clone Wars. After the Clone Wars ended, the Empire set in motion their infamous Order 66, which decreed that all Jedi must be hunted down and exterminated. In the face of certain death, Kota and and a froup of followers fled to the Outer Rim territories and set up a base near in a TIE fighter construction yard over Nar Shaddaa.CreationRahm Kota was created for the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.Major Story ArcsForce UnleashedIn order to exterminate the elusive Jedi, Darth Vader sent Galen Marek, his secret apprentice to hunt him down. Marek was eventually able to find the aged Jedi and engaged him in intense lightsaber combat. During the battle, Kota claimed to be able to see the young Secret Apprentice's future and claimed that his future would not always be by Vader's side. This infuriated Marek who was able to badly injure Kota and send him falling hundreds of miles to his doom to the surface of Nar Shadda. However, Kota somehow survived the fall and, although blind, was later able to meet Marek again and form a close bond which would lead the Secret Apprentice to reject the Dark Side and embrace his bloodline.
