Only in the wild world of cyberspace could going viral mean something to brag about. The one thing that many amateur videographers and professional marketing experts have in common is the goal to create a viral video. When the target is reached, the high number of hits brings a feeling of accomplishment to the amateur and priceless brand exposure to the business owner. If you'd like to reach viral status, follow these tips to meet your goal:
1. Tap into the Psychology behind Sharing Videos
To go viral, your video has to touch a sensitive trigger within the viewer that inspires them to not only share the material with their friends, but with the world. For the best results, try to touch a basic emotion, identify with the viewer, or provide invaluable information.
2. Make Your Videos Easy to Share
While YouTube makes it extremely easy to share videos, it's also easy for your material to become lost in the sheer volume of information. Consider posting your material on some of the other social video sites that have growing communities. Make sure that any site that hosts your video provides simple, easy-to-find tools that make video sharing more likely. When filming your material, test the footage with several popular viewers, like the VLC Media Player, to ensure high-quality video content.
3. Look at the Statistics
Before posting your video, review the statistics for each video sharing platform to determine the best time and the best location for your video. Depending on the target market, your chances of success will be dramatically increased if you put a little thought into the distribution method.
4. Authentic Footage Is Better
Whether the footage has captured the ultimate humiliation or an unbelievable accomplishment, reality trumps staged material every single time in the viral world.
5. Short and Sweet
Long videos quickly lose the attention of most viewers. Shorter videos always have a better chance of going viral. The goal should be to attract attention, deliver the message, and exit quickly. If the viewer likes it, they'll watch it over and over again and convince their friends to do the same.
6. Use a Catchy Title
No matter how interesting the video might be, no one can search on the contents. Instead, catchy keywords in the title are what gets a video found online. If you can work it in at all, anything about "hot girls" seems to instantly go to the top of the search list.
7. Don't Repeat Footage
No matter how short your film may be, resist the urge to loop the video. If your audience wants to see it again, they can easily click play a second, or third, time. Repeating the footage diminishes the original impact and creates an unprofessional presentation.
8. Have Fun!
The vast majority of people prefer fun, upbeat material over anything depressing. Whether you're showing the cute antics of a baby or a crazy, extreme stunt, people will enjoy the footage as they live vicariously through your creation.
As you attempt to go viral, follow this helpful advice to meet your goal!

Charleston has received accolades for having the most attractive people in the country (Travel & Leisure) and for being the top tourist destination (Conde Nast). Early next year, Charleston gets another chance to be in the limelight, this time as one of five cities where people can audition for Simon Cowells The X Factor.
The shows website recently revealed that auditions for the third season will be held in Charleston on March 19. Other cities include: Los Angeles, New Orleans, Long Island, NY, and Denver. (Organizers made a common mistake by identifying Charleston as being in North Carolina on its registration form.)
The location of the auditions in Charleston has not been announced.
The X-Factor is Cowells version of American Idol. Its team of judges travel across the country to find undiscovered solo artists and vocal groups who then vie for a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.
Contestants must be more than 12 years old, and those that survive the first audition are sent to a Boot Camp where they are mentored by one of the shows judges. In its debut season, Melanie Amaro was the winner.

No time to dwell on lossPosted by on November 19, 2012 – 7:39 pm
Steelers' players are no doubt disappointed about Sunday night's 13-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, which put them two games behind in the division, but there is no time to dwell on it with two AFC North games in the upcoming weeks.
"Everybody is positive about moving forward," said cornerback Keenan Lewis. "We can't get down on one game, even though it was a significant game. We have to push through. We have more games to come.
"We know we can't get too far behind those guys. We've got to try to win this division. That will help us in the playoff race. We know that. They are two games up right now and we have to win out."
They will attempt to start doing that this Sunday on the road against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are 2-8 overall and 1-3 in the division, but Lewis knows the Browns will bring their "A" game this week.
"It's real important to win this division game," said Lewis. "Those guys have been playing extremely hard and well even though their record doesn't match up. They are a great football team and we know that. They are going to come out and give everything they have and we have to be ready to go."
That shouldn't be hard for Lewis, whose play has continually picked up since he became a starter at the beginning of the season.
"I am starting to see my play get better," said Lewis. "Having an opportunity to be out there more and recognize different schemes and adjust to the speed of different offenses has helped me out this year a lot."
Lewis' development showed against the Ravens, when he finished with 10 tackles, one for a loss, and broke up two passes.
"Each week is definitely a new learning experience," said Lewis. "You are going against a new offense and new coordinators and they like to do different things with different schemes. Every week I have to watch film and try to get better."
One area Lewis knows improvement is needed to be in the mix in the division is creating turnovers. Despite holding the Ravens offense scoreless, limiting Ray Rice to only 40 yards rushing and Joe Flacco to 164 yards passing, the defense didn't create any turnovers.
"We know we have to create turnovers," said Lewis. "We have to try to find a way to put points on the board in games like that, when it's close in a race like that. We have to find a way to not let them put points on the board, even if it's field goals. We have to get turnovers."

Sharing some sound advicePosted by on November 19, 2012 – 7:36 pm
Enjoying a four-course meal at an upscale restaurant is not something that happens often for inner city school students, but on Monday night it did for some football players from Perry Traditional Academy, part of the Pittsburgh Public School system, thanks to the efforts of Steelers Chris Carter and Jonathan Dwyer.
The high school players took part in a mentoring session that Carter and Dwyer hosted at Capital Grille in Pittsburgh, rewarding them for their achievements on and off the field and providing them encouragement to continue to become better individuals and athletes.
"It was for kids from the inner city schools who might not be as privileged as others," said Carter. "I grew up like that so it hits home with me. They are going through some things and sometimes they don't have the resources or the people to talk to, sometimes you don't know anybody who is in the situation where you want to be.
"Growing up I had big dreams to be in the NFL but I didn't have anybody to talk to. I remember how much I would have appreciated someone mentoring me, giving me advice and guidance. That is what we are trying to do, help these kids by talking about relationships, family, school and dedication to their sport. All of that is necessary to get to this level and contribute to their success. We want to give them something to think about."
Dwyer and Carter let the young men ask them whatever questions they wanted, and they were able to answer them from someone who was once in their shoes.
"It was an opportunity for us to spend time with kids who look up to us for guidance and want a role model to help them," said Dwyer. "It was a chance for us to give advice to these kids. I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet guys at the level I am playing at to get their advice and sit down and meet with them and get that extra edge to live my dream as well."
While they shared the hard work and dedication it took to get to where they are today, the players were also forthcoming sharing some of the pitfalls along the way, assuring them that while you might stumble, you can always get back up again.
"We opened up and let them know we are normal people and you just have to work hard to get to where you are," said Carter. "But the biggest thing is them understanding we made plenty of mistakes and you can rebound from them. You are never stuck in a situation, you can always get out. Coach (Mike) Tomlin tells us all of the time how do you get out of a hole. The first step is to stop digging and the second step is to stand up. You are never stuck in a situation. There is always a way out.
"That is what we wanted to get across to them. They might not have the support they need, might have different distractions, everybody lives a different life, but there is still a path for them to get to the top and get to where they want to be."

Coach Tomlin's Post-Game CommetnsPosted by on November 19, 2012 – 12:21 am
Coach Tomlin: Tough football game. Nip and tuck. The difference is obviously that we didn't find a significant play, particularly in the waning moments and in any of the three phases to be the difference, to put points on the board and allow us to get out of the stadium with the win. We accept responsibility for our performance, but we also tip our hat to those guys. They did enough to win the football game. On the injury front, Ziggy Hood had a lower back, Isaac Redman sustained a concussion, Baron Batch had a foot injury and Jerricho Cotchery has a rib injury that's being evaluated. Some other bumps and bruises that are being evaluated, nothing definitive at this point. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Re: QB Byron Leftwich's performance:
I thought it was griddy. We knew that this was going to be a Baltimore-Steelers type football game. It was going to be nip and tuck. I thought it was great. Obviously, not enough plays by him or by any of the rest of us to secure victory.
Did Baltimore do anything special to block on the punt return for a touchdown?
No, it was a good effort by him. They did a nice job, they double-viced our gunners there and when they do that, the tackle has to come from the core of the punt formation and it didn't, but nice execution by them. Obviously, a significant football play.
Re: The lack of third down conversions:
It's a Steelers-Ravens game. They didn't convert any either. We expected this to be a net punting type game and a significant play was going to swing it. Unfortunately for us, they provided a significant play with the punt return.
Did you think Leftwich had that type of long-run capability?
[Laughs] I don't think he did either, but we'll take it. Nice effort.
Re: The two early timeouts in the second half:
The play clock was running down so, obviously, it was confusing.
Re: Using the last timeout before the two-minute warning:
We were hoping we were going to get a stop there and I think we had an offsides or something. We wanted to get a stop there, stop the time, have them in a long yardage situation and maybe encourage them to throw the football. But that didn't transpire.
Re: Ben Roethlisberger being an active leader on the sidelines:
He didn't do anything any other quarterback wouldn't do. Charlie [Batch] does a nice job, Byron does a nice job when Ben's playing. We expect those guys to be active participants in adjustments and communication, particularly on the sideline and during timeouts.
How close were you to having Charlie Batch come in when Leftwich was being evaluated for a rib injury?
I wasn't. Obviously, he sustained some hits but that's football, particularly when you're talking about this matchup. He did a nice job of communicating where he was and, more than anything, we just wanted to do a nice job of communicating.

CHICAGO - Anti tumor necrosis factor therapy does not increase the overall risk of solid cancer in people with rheumatoid arthritis, according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and limitation in the motion and function of multiple joints. Though joints are the principal body parts affected by RA, inflammation can develop in other organs as well. An estimated 1.3 million Americans have RA, and the disease typically affects women twice as often as men.
There has been a concern that the use of anti-TNF therapy to treat and manage rheumatoid arthritis may be associated with an increased risk of developing cancerous tumors. However, several patient studies have been unable to identify a connection between anti-TNF therapy usage and cancer. Researchers from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom assumed that the short length of clinical trials may fail to spot new cancer cases and therefore they are following patients receiving these drugs in routine care for a minimum of five years to determine if anti-TNF therapy elevates cancer risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
"It is important to look at effects of long-term treatment with anti-TNF as patients with RA often take this therapy for several years. Some cancers take many years to develop and clinical trials lasting only six to 12 months may be too short to look for a link between anti-TNF and cancer," says Kimme L. Hyrich, MD, PhD, FRCPC; senior lecturer and consultant in rheumatology at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom and lead investigator of the study.
Researchers evaluated data from the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register—a registry that tracks the progress of patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases who are taking anti-TNF therapy. Patients with RA were followed for up to five years after starting treatment with the anti-TNF therapies etanercept (Enbrel®), infliximab (Remicade®) or adalimumab (Humira®). A second group of patients who had never received anti-TNF therapy, but who were taking disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (commonly called DMARDs) were also included in the study.
New cancer cases were identified by reviewing annual physician questionnaires and lifelong health information from the United Kingdom cancer registry.
Statistical tests were used to compare the number of cancers in patients who had taken anti-TNF treatment to the number in patients who had never taken anti-TNF treatment. Seven factors were used to estimate cancer risk including age, gender, years diagnosed with RA, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug usage, presence of other diseases, smoking and the year each participant was registered in the study. Participants with a history of cancer prior to the study were excluded.
Among the 15,262 participants, 386 cancer cases were recorded: 91 among 3,543 participants taking DMARDs and 295 among 11,719 participants taking anti-TNF. Researchers concluded there was not a significant difference in the overall risk of cancer between the two groups. The researchers also noted no significant differences in developing the three most common cancers in patients with RA - namely colorectal, lung and breast cancer. Moreover, cancer risk did not increase during the length of the study.
"We found that the risk of cancer was no different in patients receiving anti-TNF compared to those who had never received this therapy. We also could not identify a difference in risk between the three anti-TNF drugs studied. This should reassure patients and their physicians as this was a large study, looking at real-life practice in the UK. The study continues to look at the effect of receiving anti-TNF for longer than five years," says Dr. Hyrich.
TNF-antagonists (anti-TNF therapy; among drugs called biologics) are a class of drugs that have been used since 1998. Overall, they have been given to more than 600,000 people worldwide. These drugs are given to lessen inflammation by interfering with biologic substances that cause or worsen inflammation.
Patients should talk to their rheumatologists to determine their best course of treatment.
The American College of Rheumatology is an international professional medical society that represents more than 8,000 rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals around the world. Its mission is to advance rheumatology. The ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier meeting in rheumatology. For more information about the meeting, visit www.rheumatology.org/education. Follow the meeting on Twitter by using the official hashtag: #ACR2011.
Editor's Notes: Kimme L. Hyrich, MD, PhD, FRCP, will present this research during the ACR Annual Scientific Meeting at McCormick Place Convention Center  at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, November 8 in Room W 375 A. Dr. Hyrich will be available for media questions and briefing at 1:30 pm on Monday, November 7 in the on-site press conference room, W 175C.

Background/Purpose: The use of TNF inhibitors in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been coupled with concerns about tumorigenesis. Meta-analysis of patient-level data from randomised controlled trials (RCT) has not found an increased risk of solid cancer. The short duration and strict exclusion criteria of RCTs means latent events such as cancer may be missed. The aim of this study was to determine whether anti-TNF influences the risk of cancer when used in routine UK clinical practice.
Method: The analysis was conducted in the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register (BSRBR), a national cohort study. Patients with RA starting treatment with the TNF inhibitors etanercept (ETA), infliximab (INF) or adalimumab (ADA) and a biologic-naí¯ve comparison cohort exposed to non-biologic therapy (DMARD) were recruited between 2001-2009. The first six months of follow up for each subject was excluded from the analysis. Subjects were followed for 5 years, until 31/12/2009 or death, whichever came first. Subjects with a history of solid cancer prior to registration identified by record linkage with the UK cancer registry (NHS-IC) were excluded. Incident cancers were identified in 3 ways; lifelong flagging with NHS-IC; 6 monthly patient and physician questionnaires for 3 years and annual physician questionnaires thereafter. Only the first solid cancer per subject (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer), confirmed by histology or NHS-IC, was analysed. Cancers occurring after stopping anti-TNF were attributed to the most recent anti-TNF. The rates of solid cancer in the anti-TNF and DMARD cohorts were compared using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) for age, gender, comorbidity, disease duration, use of NSAIDs, smoking and registration year. Site specific analyses were performed for sites with ≥10 cancers in each cohort: colorectal, lung/bronchus and female breast.
Result: 386 solid cancers were confirmed: 91 in 3543 DMARD patients and 295 in 11719 anti-TNF patients (84 v 63 per 10000 patient-years (pyrs)) (Table). After adjusting for IPTW there was no difference in risk of solid cancer between the 2 cohorts (hazard ratio (HR) for anti-TNF 0.88 (0.65, 1.17)). The IPTW adjusted HR for ETA was 0.94 (0.68, 1.29), INF 0.87 (0.61, 1.25) and ADA 0.81 (0.57, 1.14). There was no significant difference in risk of colorectal, lung/bronchus or female breast cancer for anti-TNF compared to DMARD. The risk did not vary with duration of follow up.
Conclusion: In patients without prior solid cancer no increase in solid cancer risk was seen in this UK national cohort of RA patients treated with TNF inhibitors when followed for up to 5 years. Further follow up is warranted to further assess site specific risk and allow for longer latency.

Those who have followed the documentaries produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center know what to expect: Films like "Genocide," "Liberation" and "In Search of Peace" that hit you right between the eyes and in the solar plexus.
Thus, it is more the surprise that its Moriah Films division's latest documentary, "Beautiful Music," a 39-minute film narrated by Brooke Shields, proves to be sensitive and understated. "Beautiful Music," directed and written by the Wiesenthal Center's Richard Trank, was based on original material by Trank and Rabbi Marvin Hier.
It's about a blind and autistic Arab girl who blossoms into a musical savant under the tutelage of a caring Jewish piano teacher.
Rasha Hamad, who is deaf and blind like her younger sister, is locked into a small room with her sibling by their parents and later abandoned. Traumatized and helpless, the girls are given a warm home in the Arab village of Beit Jala by a Dutch missionary couple, Edward and Helene Vollbehr.
The girls seem unable to respond to human contact, they beat themselves on the heads and they scream endlessly. But then the Vollbehrs notice that Rasha calms down when listening to classical music and shows an amazing aptitude for playing the piano.
The Vollbehrs turn to the Jerusalem Conservatory of Music, where Rasha is entrusted to Devorah Schramm -- although the task is daunting even for this devoted teacher. While Rasha's piano playing keeps improving, and she even starts to compose her own music, it takes two or three years of daily lessons before Rasha shows any signs of bonding with her teacher. Rasha also suffers when the larger world around her goes awry, when Scuds fall during the 1991 Gulf War or during the terror of the two intifadas.
With calmer days, Rasha picks up again, The last scene shows her performing a Chopin sonata, joined by Jewish classmates, to the applause of the Jewish audience, which had pitched in to pay for her lessons.
Summing up her experience, Schramm observes, "If we look at the headlines, we see generalities. But when we look at one individual, we see more deeply."
The film will screen at the Hollywood Film Festival on Sunday, Oct. 23 at 3:30 p.m. at the Arclight Theatres, 6360 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles. For information visit www.hollywoodawards.com/screenings.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (Feb. 24, 2012)—Northern Arizona University is proposing that next year's tuition rates remain the same for most continuing undergraduates, coupled with a modest increase to the current rate for incoming students, keeping NAU's resident tuition the lowest in the state.
In his multi-tiered 2012-13 tuition and mandatory fee proposal sent to the Arizona Board of Regents this week, NAU President John Haeger requested the continuation of NAU's Tuition Pledge, which guarantees undergraduates on the Flagstaff campus the same tuition rate for eight semesters.
If approved, more than 90 percent of current Flagstaff undergraduates would pay the same tuition rate they were guaranteed in previous years. Now in its fifth year at NAU, the Pledge brings predictability to the cost of higher education and serves as an incentive for students to complete their degree in four years.
"The Pledge program remains key to NAU's continued growth and is extraordinarily popular among students and their families who cite it as a motivating factor for choosing NAU," Haeger said.
His proposal focuses on various locations and delivery methods to meet student needs.
"NAU is committed to giving students varied options—both in terms of their learning environment and in the cost of attending," Haeger said. "By offering cost-saving models in communities throughout the state and online, as well as a traditional residential campus in Flagstaff, NAU is helping to make education more accessible."
In addition to recommending that NAU continue its tuition guarantee to current undergraduate students in Flagstaff, Haeger requested modest increases over last year for undergraduate students who are new to NAU's Pledge program or attending NAU in Yuma, Prescott Valley or through Extended Campuses. Graduate students also would see a modest increase.
NAU's tuition proposal—which is contingent upon the continuance of the Pledge program and the university's expected enrollment growth—includes:
Flagstaff campus
NAU-Yuma and Extended Campus sites
The regents are scheduled to vote on the university tuition proposals April 5 at their regularly scheduled meeting in Tucson.
Prior to the board meeting, regents will conduct a statewide public hearing to give students and others an opportunity to voice their opinion on the three universities' tuition proposals. The hearing is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. March 28 at locations across the state. ABOR and NAU will notify the public when exact locations are determined. Those who cannot attend a hearing may send comments via email to the Arizona Board of Regents at firstname.lastname@example.com; by regular mail, at 2020 N. Central Ave., Suite 230, Phoenix, AZ 85004; or by fax at (602) 229-2555. All comments received prior to March 30 will be shared with the regents in advance of the April meeting.

Home / Store / Proceedings / Item 700306
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 13-17, 2004
Item ID: 700306 / ISBN: 0-89448-680-2
The 2004 International Congress on Advances in Nuclear Power Plants (ICAPP '04) will be held on June 13–17 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the 2004 American Nuclear Society (ANS) Annual Meeting. ICAPP is the premier international conference on nuclear power plants and is jointly sponsored by five of the world's major nuclear societies: ANS, Sociedad Nuclear Española, Société Française d'Energie Nucléaire, Atomic Energy Society of Japan, and Korean Nuclear Society. The Operation and Power Division of ANS is ICAAP's primary sponsor. ICAPP is an annual event that is held bi-annually in conjunction with the ANS Annual Meetings and rotates between Europe and Asia and the United States in the off years. ICAPP '05 will be held during May 15–18, 2005, in Seoul, Korea.
ICAPP provides a forum for the industry to exchange the latest ideas and research findings on nuclear plants from all perspectives. This conference builds on the success of last year's meeting held in Córdoba, Spain, and on the 2002 inaugural meeting held in Hollywood, Florida. Because of the hard work of many volunteers from around the world, ICAPP '04 has been successful in achieving its goal. More than 325 invited and contributed papers/presentations are part of this ICAPP. There are 5 invited plenary sessions and 70 technical sessions with contributed papers. The ICAPP '04 Proceedings contain almost 275 papers prepared by authors from 25 countries covering topics related to advances in nuclear power plant technology. ICAPP '04 joins the ANS in celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

The Demos think tank in the United Kingdom consistently finds new perspectives and outlooks on important topics, and this latest collection of essays published in May 2008 is no exception. Specifically, these fourteen essays "explore the underlying challenges and realities of privacy in an open society, and argue for a new settlement between the individual and society; the public and the states; the consumer and business." The volume was sponsored in part by the telecommunications company BT, and it includes such trenchant essays as "The culture of control", "A place of greater safety? Information sharing and confidentiality", and "The social value of privacy". It is worth noting that the underlying theme of the collection is that "we get the privacy culture we deserve", and this alone is well worth thinking (and reading) about. [KMG] Scout Report

Kristen Stewart Tells Jennifer Lawrence to "Remember Your Own Values" — Is That About Rob Pattinson?
Is Kristen Stewart trying to keep Jennifer Lawrence from suffering a tough setback in her own relationship like Kristen faced this summer?
K-Stew says that J-Law asked her for advice on how to handle the rabid fans of The Hunger Games.
"I told her: 'Enjoy it, and at the same time, remember your own values,'" Kristen says. In other words, stay away from flirty directors!
Kristen says that she was not ready for how much her life would change after starring in Twilight. "The hype caught us all completely by surprise," she says. "The fans went literally crazy — suddenly we needed bodyguards. That was crazy."
Jennifer is currently dating her X-Men: First Class co-star Nicholas Hoult.

EARLIER this month the director of Motorola's research centre in Sydney together with the head of one of its crack research teams made a whistle-stop tour of Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, all in less than a week. Their main mission was to find customers for a digital chip the centre has developed for cameras.
The chip is one of a new breed of image sensors revolutionising the digital camera market. Motorola's new image sensor offers several important advantages over the conventional electronic eye, the charge coupled device (CCD).
The chip consumes between one sixth and one eighth less power, for instance, a key consideration for battery-powered devices like digital cameras. It is also fabricated using the semiconductor industry's standard process technology, complementary metal-oxide-silicon (CMOS), which makes it easy to integrate with other chips, such as memory chips. This in turn reduces the cost of building camera systems.

5x mops
I am new to making 5x MOPS buffer. Has anyone made this before? If so, did it look yellow after autoclaving. Also, I had to add 19 pellets of NaOH to raise the pH to 7. Does this sound normal? I know it is a strong buffer, but this seemed like a lot.
by the way, this was for a 1000ml solution
Re: 5x mops
used the yellow MOPS with no problem

THE Lake Victoria Basin Commission yesterday said it is undertaking various projects aimed at improving maritime transport and safety in Lake Victoria. The commission's executive secretary Canisius Kanangire said once completed, the projects will significantly reduce fatalities and loss of property arising from maritime activities in the lake.
Activities to improve transport and safety on the lake include the ongoing implementation of the Lake Victoria Transport Act 2007. Kanangire said the commission wants to stimulate investment in lake transport. He however said the sector needs more funds to achieve their targets.
Other activities are conducting a hydrographic survey, mapping of navigation routes, installation of aids and navigation equipment and the implementation of oil spill and toxic chemcials contingency plan.
The activities will be implemented through the Lake Victoria Environment Management Project Phase II. About $10 million will be required to implement this project.

|Extremism & Terror
|Failed Leadership
|Get Involved
On May 22nd, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick embraced the radical leadership of the Muslim American Society (MAS), including Imam Abdullah Faaruuq, who has told followers they must "pick up the gun and the sword" in response to the arrests of local convicted terrorists Aafia Siddiqui and Tarek Mehanna. Faaruuq believes that Siddiqui and Mehanna are innocent and that the FBI is out to come after all Muslims. Governor Patrick accepted several demands from the MAS at the event.
Americans for Peace and Tolerance said today that Governor Patrick's controversial visit to the Saudi-funded mega-mosque in Boston was sponsored by Islamic Relief, a group with longstanding terrorist connections and close ties to the Gaza Flotilla.
On May 29th, APT released a video of the Governor's May 22 visit to the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury. The video showed Patrick embracing Imam Abdullah Faarooq, who tells his followers to "pick up the gun and the sword." Faarooq is a supporter of local terror suspects Aafia Siddiqui and Tarek Mehanna.
At the mosque, Faarooq gave staffers from Attorney General Martha Coakley's office a $50K check to "train" Mass police in "sensitivity."
Flyers distributed at the event revealed that the Governor's visit was primarily sponsored by Islamic Relief. Islamic Relief is the founding member of the Union of Good (UOG), an umbrella of Hamas-funding charities. UOG is a designated by federal authorities as a terrorist entity, and is headed by Yusuf al Qaradawi, the spiritual head of the Muslim Brotherhood which gave birth to Hamas and Al Queda.
Qaradawi was also an original Trustee of the Roxbury mosque.
The Gaza Flotilla Link: The violent Turkish activists aboard the "Mavi Marmara" who attacked and attempted to lynch Israeli Navy commandos in Monday's Gaza flotilla incident also belonged to a Union of Good member organization – the IHH, which is directly linked to Hamas fundraising.
Islamic Relief also has an extensive history of aiding Hamas and other terrorist groups around the world.
Charles Jacobs, President of APT said, "Governor Patrick could have known that his visit to the mosque was being sponsored by an allegedly Hamas-supporting charity. Activists from APT personally handed the Governor a memo on Islamic Relief in January of 2009."
Jacobs indicated his concern that the $50K check might have come directly from Islamic Relief, which the Israeli government accuses of sponsoring Hamas. "It is incumbent on the Governor to immediately return the funds and investigate the source of this tainted money" said Jacobs.
He also repeated APT's request to the Governor: "Stop embracing radicals, reach out to truly moderate Muslims, and please don't let political correctness compromise our security."

As many have stated, the $20 seems to be SO based, in that Apple states earnings on iPhone and Apple TV on a subscription model, while iPod (including Touch) are stated regularly.
Therefore, like the 802.11n update, Apple is required to charge for substantial updates, or re-open and restate past earnings.
So, iPhone and Apple TV can get updates free of charge, but anything big for iPod Touch is billable.
Why they chose $20 is a bit of a mystery to me, however.
Hands-on with the new iPhone Software - Video and Gallery!
The new 1.1.3 update to the iPhone's software is pretty incredible. As we just mentioned in the Liveblog of the Steve Jobs Keynote, there are several new features that were announced:
- Maps with Location
- Webclips on your homescreen
- Customization of your homescreen
- ...and more, including lyrics, support for iTunes movie rentals, and the ability to SMS multiple people at once.
We got the jump on the iPod Touches on the show floor to get a firsthand look at the new features. After the break, our hands-on video with the new iPhone software (as seen on the iPod Touch).
Video Hands-On
The new find location feature works surprisingly quickly (about 10 seconds here at Macworld) and is a great new feature. Also nice are some subtle touches like the "eyeball button" that flips up different viewing options.
Safari and Web Clipping
I appreciate that Safari now just has a giant "plus" button at the bottom for the various things you might want to do with a webpage -- bookmark it, email it, or add it to the home screen. The web clipping feature is very useful -- I especially the nice touch of making the icon on the home screen a thumbnail version of what you've zoomed in on is also slick.
Moving Icons on the Home screen
Although I was a little leery of the "jiggy effect" early on, I will admit that it's a very slick way to let you know that you're in a "move stuff around" state instead of a "open stuff now" state. It's also well done - you can drag an icon to the edge of the screen to move it to the next page. Well done, Apple.
....All in all, we're very happy about the update. Our only regret: email still feels underpowered and we also feel pretty bad for current iPod Touch owners, who must pay $20 to get the improved software.

Hands-on with the new iPhone Software - Video and Gallery!
As many have stated, the $20 seems to be SO based, in that Apple states earnings on iPhone and Apple TV on a subscription model, while iPod (including Touch) are stated regularly.
I've read that Apple's interpretation of SOX is disputable. I think they charge for it because they can. They could have charged $.99 for it, and they clearly didn't do that. I think they had a recent update that was $2.00? MacBook or something? Anyway, I'm downloading 1.1.3 now, and I'm pretty excited about it.
(Does Overthrow posting again mean we may get a post-Keynote podcast soon? :) )
Others have pointed out Microsoft and Sony not charging for PS3 or Xbox/Zune updates (yes, apparently there are a few Zunes in the wild!) So SOX looks dubious...
Another conjecture is that Apple is passing on costs, but this doesn't make a lot of sense either unless Google/Yahoo get something for the Widgets, or Skyhook gets a per-unit licensing fee for the wi-fi "locate me" (which is pretty awesome, all things considered -- though in tests it found an iPod Touch down to the corner on one side of my office, but only to the block on the other side? And the idea of all the routers/mac addresses being stored in some big DB is quasi-creepy...)
Of course, as a Canuck, I cannot yet update iPhone, so I will watch on in abject jealousy...

Huawei Ascend Mate is just about to join Vodafone and, with its beautiful 6.1-inch display backed up by a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, it settles right in as our biggest smartphone ever. That's great for multimedia, but a big screen is nothing without a battery life to match – something that, thankfully, Huawei's well aware of.
We've been speaking to James Powell, UK Product Director at Huawei, to find out why powering our phones through the day is a bigger priority than ever.
The power Huawei Ascend Mate to be powerful
"Battery life is hugely important," James says, frankly. "Miniaturisation and power optimisation of batteries are two really significant areas of Huawei's engineering. You need products that are really power efficient, have big batteries and that will really last and last."
It's clearly a key priority for Huawei, a company who's making great strides to improve on existing battery technology already. "There are beautifully designed products out there that are paper weights by tea time," says James. "You need your devices, especially if they're built for work and entertainment, to go and go. From our perspective, there are very few parts of a phone that are more important than the battery."
The Huawei Ascend Mate's enormous 6.1-inch screen puts it right at the top end of phone sizes, but big screens and batteries are a strange chicken-and-egg scenario: you've got a bigger screen to power, but more space behind it to cram in a battery. In the case of the Huawei Ascend Mate, that means a huge 4050 mAh battery.
"It's not just about putting a big battery in the phone, even though that is the case here – the Huawei Ascend Mate has the biggest battery in any smartphone by a long way. We've also got our own patented battery optimisation technology, which is designed to make phones last about 30 per cent longer than similar products."
"The reason we're able to do that," James explains, "is that we're experts at dealing with how the phone talks to networks, and how the phone wakes up and goes to sleep when needed. Battery is everything – without it all you've got is a very nice looking dummy device."
Features like Huawei's Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) power-saving technology are what really makes the difference here. But what about in the phones of tomorrow?
Huawei Ascend Mate is clearly built to last, benefitting from everything Huawei's worked on to improve on the daily lifespan of a phone. And that's not without reason: James sees the Ascend Mate as the first real warrior in a new smartphone battle…
"I think it's one of the biggest battlegrounds coming over the hill for everyone," he explains, "and we're in a position where we've got a lead on everybody. These other products like smartwatches will no doubt do well, but the reality is that people need a phone that works all day long."
The Huawei Ascend Mate is coming to vodafone.co.uk soon. Stay tuned to Vodafone Social for more from our time with James, in which he spills the beans on the future of big phones.

No need to re-post the pics. I'm paying attention. Really… I swear. I can easily peruse the thread, and see them just fine.
I missed the mark on the pouch placement because I was going from memory, and working late half-asleep. In fact, I finished the WIP late last night (early this morning?), but was just too tired to post. I will adjust the pouch to sit lower. Looks like at base of chest, or just below.
I can make a MT to lower the neck-cord to match. If you do decide to use Chris' cord I can include the MT, and create a couple of movement ones as well, if you would like.
You can get the neck-cord here in Chris Cox's "NecklacePack1" (almost bottom of page):
Check out all his other work. He is a really great creator, and a very generous individual. His freebies are top-notch, and you might find use for some of his stuff for your covers.
Regarding the crystal base-n-holder. Monday deadline… Ouch!
Shape/geometry wise, it looks easy, but I have no idea what I am really looking at. The author really needs to learn how to supply at least three basic views (including top and side), as well as not cutting off important design elements. I'm not saying they need to be an artist. Stick figures are fine as long as the design is at least comprehensible.
I will see what I can do, but no promises. Will post tomorrow. I am praying the black squiggly lines are coloring in the shape to represent black (Black Onyx perhaps?), and not some kind of design element. Any help you can supply would be great. For now I will fly blind.

A study has found that using hormone replacement therapy for any length of time cut the risk of distal colon cancer in half. The distal part of the colon is closest to the rectum. The longer women took hormone therapy, the greater the reduced risk. The study involved a comparison of 443 with distal colon cancer and 405 healthy women.
After the results of the Women's Health Initiative appeared in 2002, hormone replacement therapy prescriptions plunged by at least 50%. That study found the drugs can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Colon cancer rates in women have been on the decline for much longer. But whether the rates of distal colon cancer in women will rise now that hormone therapy is out of favor is a reasonable question, said the authors, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"Much of the reduced incidence of distal large bowel cancer observed in the past two decades may have been partially related to long-term hormone replacement therapy use that is no longer recommended based on the risk-benefit ratio observed in the [Women's Health Initiative,]" they wrote.
The study was released in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Comments about Corduroy Cologne:
Another warm spicy fragrance by Zirh, similar to Zirh Ikon but with sandalwood instead of incense, and nutmeg instead of cloves. If you like warm spicy fragrances, Corduroy and Ikon are both great. I prefer Ikon's incense and cloves notes, but if you're not into incense, Corduroy would be a better choice. Another winner from Zirh.

Comments about Corduroy Cologne:
I first fell in love with this fragrance when it first came out in 2005. Sadly, I could not find it in any of the shops in my country, and some retailers have even asked me "What is it?"
Almost a decade later, I finally found my beloved perfume online and thanks to the Worldwide Shipping service provided I was able to own my very own bottle for the first time and I was able to tell where exactly it was by tracking my shipment.
This perfume is suitable for use for any occasion at all. It has a smell that exudes sensuality and confidence. Even after almost 10 years I take an extra deep breath everytime I smell it. For its price, it really is value for money.
The only downside that I can think of which is echoed by other users is that it doesn't really last long (estimated 8 hrs tops, less if you're up and about). But then again, this can easily be remedied by applying the perfume to more areas. I normally spray it on my chest, neck, and wrists, and sometimes it lasts till the end of the day.
Pretty much the awesomest perfume there is out there. If you're interested in trying something different, this is the perfume for you.

Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Zurich
The subject of the discipline of social and cultural anthropology is the diversity of human cultures and societies. The aim is to understand the multi-layered ecological, economic, political, social, legal and cultural dimensions of human social life within the framework of historical change and the context of translocal and global relations. Social and cultural anthropology not only investigates local communities and the regional, national and global relations of which urban as well as rural populations form a part. Anthropology is also concerned with complex societies, including industrial societies, with international and state organisations, transnational companies, social movements and civil wars. By focussing on local patterns of meaning and practices, by emphasising the comparative perspective and by engaging in the method of long-term Participant Observation, social anthropology has made its mark within the social sciences right from the beginnings of the discipline.
Social and cultural anthropologists not only work within academia. Their expertise also qualifies them for a wide range of non-academic professions and jobs, for example within development agencies, international organisations and various types of associations, in the public and cultural administration, in the media and with publishing houses, or as management consultants.

Could this hold 2 iPads..back to back? I don't like to do the "normal".
- Asked by Rose P from Swedesboro
MICHAEL Michael Kors Sleeve for MacBook Pro
Product No Longer Available

Yes definitely would fit two iPads, or one iPad with a keyboard case without bulging the case outward past the actual width of the case. Either way there would be 2" at the top and 2" total at the side (or 1" at either side when centered).

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A document says former prosecutor Phill Kline and two former deputies will face ethics complaints.
The state office that investigates allegations of misconduct against attorneys has sent their lawyer a letter saying complaints would be filed.
Kline was Kansas attorney general in 2003-07 and Johnson County district attorney in 2007-09.
The Feb. 19 letter said a review committee for the state Board for the Discipline of Attorneys found probable cause to believe all three violated rules of professional conduct.
The Associated Press obtained a copy Thursday. The letter didn't spell out any allegations, though Kline has been criticized for his conduct in investigating abortion clinics.
An attorney for the three men said the actions of Kline and his deputies were within the law.

And I have heaps of pictures and some video!
My mare has just had 7 months off being a paddock ornament while I was working on a cattle station in another state. I've been back three weeks, and she has only had a handful of rides as we are also trying to get her in foal so she has been back and forth to the vets and the stallion owner.
I was so, so happy with her at this clinic. She is still really green, we went to this clinic about the same time last year and we got to maybe two drafts before I left, that is all the cattle experience she has. She just pulled it out for me, I was so impressed.
This is me and Lucy at the clinic. The photos in the light shirt are the first day on the mechanical cow, the pink shirt is the second. One video is the mechanical cow on the first day, and the other is working a live cow on the afternoon of the second day.
You can see in the start of the mechanical cow video, she sometimes gets excited coming out of a turn and jumps around and flings her head. However by the afternoon of the second day she wasn't doing it at all. We missed one stop in the live cow video but apart from that she was fantastic. I missed videoing the mechanical cow on the second day, because she was going so well we were only on it for maybe 2 minutes. I love my girl!
And cause she's cute
Enjoying a scratch:

Rated 5 out of 5 by Meg12345 A fabulous stay We were very impressed with the hotel and the staff. Specifically, Lucile was amazing, friendly, and very accommodating at the front desk. Charles, in the restaurant, provided top-notch service at the breakfasts we enjoyed each morning. Our room was very comfortable, and we had a lovely view. We also enjoyed the spa and outdoor hot tubs & pool. It would be great if the hot cocoa in the lobby was available all day long. April 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by ronfromNY comfort this is my third time staying at the St. Regis Aspen and it is a pleasure. However, was surprised there is no place within the hotel to buy or obtain Aspirin or Tylenol or Advil. March 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SKjunk All Around Exceptional! One of the best resort experiences I have had. Ever! The service and attention of the staff is right up there with many of the great resorts worldwide. Looking forward to next Spring already! March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth1211 Aspen Happy The Sr, Regis is a beautiful hotel with excellent restaurants and exceptional service but what makes it the ultimate experience is the exuberance of the staff. I call it Aspen Happy and each and every employee shares it, from front desk to housekeeping and everyone in between. February 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by golfnut77 Intimate Setting ideal for Couples This was my first trip back to the Rockies in 15 years. My wife and I brought our 8 year old, who had a great time and we are happy to stay at a magnificent resort in the Heart of Aspen. But looking back at our trip as a whole, Snowmass would have fit our needs of traveling with a young beginner skier much better. I think they could do a better job of explaining the different ski resorts etc. Right after we checked in, we stopped at the concierge who explained that my wife and daughter wouldn't be able to ski Aspen once on our trip because it has a very high level of difficulty. I had no idea that a ski resort in colorado existed without 1 single green run on the entire mountain. With that said, it was very easy to get to Buttermilk and Snowmass which are ideal for beginners. However, when you are planning a premium trip to Colorado during the holidays in high season, you want to take advantage of a ski in/out resort. The restaurants at the hotel are all exquisite, including the platinum breakfast menu which included a couple hot items, which is a nice bonus! Also the wait staff was nice enough to include my daughter on the breakfast plan. Upon checking into our room, it was on the small side of the Starwood resorts, but they do a great job of managing the space to make it functional given all of the winter clothes. The bathroom appeared to have been remodeled within the last 5-7 years so it was very nice as well with a stand alone bath tub which my wife loved! Storing our 7large bags was also a great idea to help manage the space in the room. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel to couples and families with children that are experienced skiers. I skied Apen the last day and it was awesome! My daughter felt at home and there were other children there as well, so she was well occupied. Next time we will be staying at the Westin Snowmass though! January 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandralaw First class They airport shuttle service is top notch. Additionally, there are courtesy vehicles available for pick up and drop off around town. The staff was responsive, polite, friendly, professional and the concierge service was excellent. The spa was great, amazing massage. Room was immaculate and we were allowed to rest. I plan on returning soon. January 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BlackCloud excellent standard of service From early check in to amazing bar service this hotel is first rate. Everyone here treats you like a king. As a constant traveler it is always appreciated when time away feels this good. I would highly recommend this property. November 25, 2014

So in a way, I am not the guy you send to spend a night at the Americana at Brand, the new shopping mall/residence right next door. But I do love people. Not all of them, mind you, just the concept of people in general -- the great quivering masses. I like to watch them waddle, to witness the way they stuff waffle cones in their mouths or butter a dinner roll with their thumbs. There's nothing more entertaining than the dimwit in line next to me at the movies (and I'm sure he feels the same about me).
But can Caruso's latest storybook village muster the intangibles necessary to create a vibrant and charming neighborhood? A place to gather and kvetch and quiver? A spot to toss the football? That's what I'm here to find out, with my slumber party at the mall.
The Americana at Brand is part high-end retail, part pricey residential. (Rents start at a little more than two grand.) There is also a heaping dose of Vegas glam, a handsome streetcar and a patch of grass in the middle that the security guards don't want you to walk on, at least during the week.
Hmmm, tough 'hood. Sir, is it OK to sit on this bench? Thanks. How about a morning paper? Oops, no newspaper racks. Hmmm, think I'll get a haircut at the cool little barber shop. Forty bucks? Does that come with lunch?
Hey Pa, this ain't Mayberry, if that's what you're after. It's Caruso's idea of what Mayberry might be like in 2008, a sort of faux SoCal. Look out, Barney Fife's got a credit card!
Like nowhere else in Los Angeles, the residences are front and center with the retail space. Sure, Pasadena's Paseo Colorado is also an apartment-retail hybrid, but it seems far more integrated here in Glendale. Is that good or bad? What about the noise? That's why I'm here.
Certainly, signs of the good life are everywhere. Barneys New York Co-Op is steps from your front door. There's an Anthropologie off to the left, and a Martin + Osa across the way. You can't get anything you actually need at any of these places, just things you covet. But there is also a Rite Aid on the corner and a grand multiplex across the courtyard.
This $400-million development isn't Greenwich Village, to be sure, Jackson Square or even Lincoln Park. Yet, Caruso's latest vision helps give L.A. the thing that everyone says is most missing: somewhere to share an evening.
There, in the store window, a reflection of a fellow shopper. At the edge of the fountain, two lovers slurp-kiss their coffee.
At the other end of the fountain, there's an oddly golden statue, with the skin tone of Cracker Jack, jumping naked toward the Cheesecake Factory. Is this Proteus rising from the sea? Or Caruso ordering a sandwich?
Over the sound system, Sinatra belts out yet another saloon song. The piped-in music is pleasant enough but relentless, like being trapped on an elevator with Steve and Eydie.
"You say po-taye-to, I say po-tah-o . . . "
As with any city, the later it gets, the more I like it. At sundown, the whole place starts to twinkle. I'm a sucker for gas lamps, or for big white bulbs strung in cottonwood trees -- very New York. Spotlights turn the fountain into a giant gin and tonic.
"You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to . . . "
Rome was built at the confluence of the Aniene and Tiber rivers. New York is located on one of the world's great harbors. The Americana was built alongside Glendale's greatest trade route, the Galleria.
The new development is four city blocks. In addition to the shops and restaurants, four distinct rental apartment buildings -- almost like anchor stores -- offer floor plans ranging from lofts at $2,060 to town houses (topping $5,000). In all, there are 238 apartments.
These are luxe units, with balconies, gourmet kitchens and valet parking. A huge part of the appeal is the concierge service, from 6 a.m. to midnight. Need the piano tuned? Or a graduation gift for your niece? Just call. The concierge services are included in the rent, as is the parking.
