To me the images look nothing like the items shown in the video. The back plates are different for a start.
I would not assume anything at this point in time. But it would make sense for apple to look at the "new" external antenna design and modify it similar to the one shown in the video.
I think anyone could draw up an exploded diagram of an iphone insides, so i reckon this is a fake.
Design Drawings for the possible next iPhone leaked
It appears that what could be the design drawings for the next generation iPhone have been leaked and published by the folks over at Tw.Apple.Pro for all of our viewing pleasures. The pictures posted don't really allow us to see much but they do appear to match the leaked casing pictures/video that we posted on Wednesday. Stay with us after the break for more on this story.
The YouTube video that showed the possible next generation iPhone parts was removed due to copy right issues. Apple wanting the video pulled could hint towards possible attempts at keeping leaks of the next iPhone a secret unlike what happened with the iPhone 4. The drawings appear to match pretty well with the photos though and it seems to be a subtle sign of things to come.
So again we ask you what do you think - Real, Fake, or Really Fake?

Design Drawings for the possible next iPhone leaked
To me the images look nothing like the items shown in the video. The back plates are different for a start.
yeah i agree, i never had an issue with my iphone 4
Doesn't matter. Shows nothing, means nothing ;D
We could see official CAD drawings from Apple with an official Apple seal and it would STILL tell us nothing. We know the iPhone 5 is going to have 2 cameras, a retina display, and look something like the current iPhone. The internals are really what matter. And, frankly, I'm having a hard time thinking of a feature that would really compel me to upgrade anyway, short of a Verizon version...
I've been wondering the same thing since I bought the iPhone 4. What could they possibly add hardware wise to make it THAT much better. A battery upgrade would have to be significant. The same goes for a camera upgrade, whether it be picture or video. I would like to see better external speakers. Wouldn't make me upgrade though.
I hope with the iphones and ipads this year they bring out like there A5 dual core processors, more space,a better front facing camera, maybe a bigger screen cause people keep asking for it on some forums but it doesn't matter to me.
Yup, there are boat loads of stuff that can be improved to the internals:
1.6 GHz Cortex A9 > 1 GHz dual-core A9. The drive to multi-core is not as big of performance improvement as you'd think. I'd imagine 99% of software on mobiles are single-threaded, and the benefits of multi-core won't be that big at all. Embarrassingly parallel ops won't be that common on mobiles, so the biggest bang for the buck would be performance improvements in single threaded ops.
I'd love it if the next gen Apple SoC was an out-of-order 3-issue chip at 1.5 GHz. That'll basically double performance for all ops when compared to the iPhone 4. Heck, a 1.6 GHz Cortex-A9 would be great too.
Hopefully an upgraded GPU. The GPU hasn't been improved for 2 years. A PowerVR SGX MP GPU (543, 554, whatever). A factor of 2 to 4 improvement would be great.
Double the RAM and storage. 1 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. I have to manage my 32 GB 3GS. 64 GB would mean not worrying about filling it up for awhile.
HSPA+ and LTE radios. Support for 14.4 Mbit/s!
Better Retina Display with more accurate colors, less glare.
Better cameras.
Better speakers and microphones.
The un-counted things that can be done in software.
Basically a whole new phone save the case design.
Just want to say your article is as astounding. The clearness to your submit is simply excellent and that i can think you are an expert in this subject. Fine along with your permission let me to clutch your feed to keep up to date with impending post. Thanks 1,000,000 and please carry on the gratifying work.

Dummerston woman gets home confinement in eBay fraud schemeBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | January 24,2013BURLINGTON A 33-year-old Dummerston woman was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation after she pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud, involving stealing jewelry from her employer and reselling it on the Internet auction site eBay.
Andrea Carrasquillo was ordered to serve four months of home confinement, followed by four months during which she will be subject to a curfew, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Doherty.
U.S. District Judge William K. Sessions III also ordered Carrasquillo to pay her victims $19,566 in restitution for the jewelry she stole.
According to court records, Carrasquillo was an employee of Sajen Jewelry in Putney from August 1999 until March 2010, when she was laid off. She was rehired in November 2010, and it was at that time that she began taking jewelry from Sajen and selling it on her private account on eBay.
The pieces were often advertised as being new with tags, according to a release from the U.S. attorneys office, and some of Sajen Jewelrys regular online customers ultimately alerted the company to the website and scheme.
From November 2010 to March 2011, Carrasquillo sold 337 pieces of Sajen Jewelry over eBay at a profit to herself of $17,198. Officers from the Windham County Sheriffs Department, executing a search warrant at her home in Dummerston found more than 900 pieces of Sajen jewelry and evidence of an active eBay business, according to the release.
Doherty said that Carrasquillo faced up to 20 years in prison, but under federal sentencing guidelines, because of her lack of criminal history, her acceptance of responsibility and her family commitments, was eligible for home confinement and curfew. Sessions noted that the range of sentence was eight to 14 months in prison.
Doherty said that Carrasquillo, during her sentencing, said that family and financial circumstances led her to commit the wire fraud.
Sessions ordered a higher amount for restitution to represent the replacement value of the jewelry she stole and resold on eBay, taking into consideration increased prices for materials such as silver.
James Valente of the Brattleboro law firm of Costello Valente & Gentry, represented Carrasquillo, but couldnt be reached for comment.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

I wanted to thank you for
your appreciative comments and praise of the parade. It's
a lot of hard work, sweat and muscle, but it's worth it. :)
I don't know if you are a guest that has visited the parks
or a fellow cast member, but I wanted to thank you either
way. :)
However, I was upset to read
that Port Orleans French Quarter was being temporarily closed
- do this mean that Port Orleans Riverside will be 'heaving'
with guests in February? (if French Quarter guests are being
transferred to Riverside).
Also, we used to love the
walk from 'Dixie' to 'Port Orleans' - will this now be off
Any comments you could offer
would be gratefully received Brian.
Site continues to be a wealth
of info for us - keep up the good work!
The guests that were booked at the French
Quarter are being moved to resorts all over WDW. Mostly, they
are going to the other moderates... but I know that some guests
have been up-sold to some of the pricier resorts, too.
I have no idea whether or not the carriage
walk will remain open to guests. Frankly, I suspect that it
will be open but that, with no reason to make the walk, very
few guests will take the stroll.
And what do you know? We had
a terrific time, and were affected by very few of the cutbacks!
In fact, the reduced amount of crowds added to our appreciation
of the parks! I've been a regular visitor of WDW since its
opening in the early 70's, and have stayed at most of the
hotels, so I think I have a fairly good standard to judge
by, and frankly, I had very few complaints on this trip!
My biggest concern was the
cutback of hours of operation by the parks, as that's one
of the main reasons for staying at one of the Disney hotels.
In particular, I was concerned that the Magic Kingdom was
closing too early. And perhaps we might have stayed there
longer than we did, but we got to be there to see the lights
in the evening and even enjoyed a Fantasy in the Sky fireworks
show before beating the crowds out of the park. But in those
afternoon hours, we walked on practically every ride we wanted
to go on and only used Fastpass for Peter Pan's Flight (which
I doubt will ever be empty!). Yes, I was disappointed not
to see the Carousel of Progress again, but that was probably
my major disappointment for the trip. Many of the Fastpass
rides weren't using it, and although there were plenty of
people visiting the parks, it was not the shoulder-to-shoulder
crowds that make the average trip somewhat miserable. (I think
Disney believes that anything less than a jam-packed park
means it's sparsely-attended..!) Epcot, as well, was easy
to visit, and was open into the evening hours. Even the Disney
MGM Studios was a delight. I ran to get my Fastpass for Tower
of Terror, and then walked on the ride 3 times in the space
of a half an hour before I could use it! The evening hours
were spent at Victoria and Albert's (a restaurant I had always
wanted to try, but could not get reservations), or the Adventurers'
Club on Pleasure Island, or visiting the other hotels.
All in all, it was a terrific
trip, and we enjoyed it immensely. The cutbacks were not as
obvious to us as they may be to others, and frankly, I have
to say I would encourage anyone to take a trip to WDW now--before
it regains popularity and gets crowded again! The air fares
are cheap, the planes are not crowded, and the parks are more
delightful than ever (for the most part!) and definitely worth
the trip. The perceived value may seem less because of the
reduced hours and attractions, but the reduced crowds and
stress easily make up for it.
Just thought I'd let you know!
I'm so glad you still had a great trip Thanks
for letting me know!
We've booked a vacation to
Disney World, Orlando, for this coming February 2002 for me,
my husband, and our 3 kids ages 4, 8 and 11. I live in New
Jersey and watched the 9/11 travesty out of my office building
across the Raritan River in NJ, so no thanks to the plane
ride - we're taking Amtrak to Orlando - which costs $200 round
trip for adults, $100 round trip per kid - We're staying at
the Contemporary Hotel in Disney, and got the limited concierge
12th floor (our little 4 yr old is a bit of a terror, and
we needed to be near the monorails, character meals, quick
food breakfasts/snacks etc...). Our travel agent told us to
get a $40 Disney club card so we saved a lot of $. It isn't
applicable to the 15th floor full concierge, only to the 12th
limited and below.
Anyway, I'm trying to make
preferred seating reservations for my husband and I at a few
nice restaurants (California grill, Narcoossee's, Victoria
and Albert's...) but I'm not sure about what time to make
all these reservations. The kids will be booked at either
the Neverland club at the Polynesian or at our Mickey club
at the Contemporary Hotel on those evenings me and my husband
want to have a nice dinner. I don't' want to make the reservations
too early or too late, but also don't want them to interfere
with perhaps that once a week parade they may have due to
Can you assist? I called the
hotel directly - all they said was that there is no more early
entry in light of the 9/11 event - they need to keep careful
watch on who arrives and they didn't have a full crew during
early entry. The characters come to the hotel instead. They
also didn't know when the parks would be open or closed in
February. Do you know of a normal February 2001 schedule that
I can at least work off of? This was the only time we could
take the kids out of school. We know it is very off season,
but what the heck - a vacation is still a vacation!
I would suggest, to be conservative, that
you use the hours listed on the WDW
Cutbacks page as you plan your trip.
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell what
the park hours or parade schedule will be that far in advance
-- even during the "normal" situation, Disney doesn't
share that information this far in advance.
The restaurants you mentioned are all located
in the resort hotels, so you shouldn't have a time problem
other than, as you mentioned, the possibility of scheduling
over a parade. You can avoid that, for the most part, by scheduling
your nice dinners on nights other than Friday and Saturday
as they are the most likely days to have a nighttime parade
if one is held.
I hope you have a great trip! I think you'll
really enjoy the Contemporary. It's a very stylish resort.
I have no idea! My best suggestion would be
to call (407) WDW-DINE and ask the reservationist that question.
Go to the site and just click
on Hot Hotel Rates and it will list all the participating
hotels, the rates, and the code you need to use (OCVB). There
are also links that describe the amenities, including whether
they offer a free buffet breakfast or not.
Hope this helps.
Anyway, I am a CM at Disneyland
Anaheim and I was planning on going to WDW in about a year.
But one of the reasons why I was going is now closed: the
Carousel of Progress. I am not sure I want to go.
I have never been there and
I know there is more to see over there, but for a Disney fan
like me, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress would be the highlight
of the trip. I have never seen it before in any of its incarnations
(1964 World's Fair, Disneyland, WDW) and I feel like I was
cheated out of seeing it. Now I don't know if I'm going to
be able to see it at all.
But, I have an idea: bring
the Carousel back to Disneyland. It would make perfect sense!
The Innoventions attraction in Tomorrowland is really tanking
because people think it's boring. I think they should put
the Carousel show on the first floor and Innoventions on the
second floor.
The corporate sponsors
would still have their exhibits and Tomorrowland would see
the return of an all-time great show! The show and the exhibits
would fit together because the theme is the progress of technology.
And believe me, there is a HUGE fan base for the Carousel
here. The locals and hard-core fans
would go NUTS.
Let's hope the suits realize
there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow for Walt Disney's
Carousel of Progress at Disneyland.
Any time around Christmas (up to a week or
so after New Year's) is still very busy. Of course, the actual
week between the two holidays is the most busy.
If you can delay your visit until the middle
or end of January, you'll be in a much less crowded situation.
Also, I have never nor my
family been to Florida or WDW where should we begin planning
our WDW vacation? We will be staying at a resort, so no need
for hotel reservations, but what should I plan to see on a
one week vacation with a husband, 2 daughters, and 1 son?
You know your daughter better than I, so I
think you'll have to evaluate the flying vs. ground transportation
I would suggest you go over MousePlanet's

about planning a trip.

you've gone through the guide, things that I haven't made

I recently contributed a piece to the Jewish Women's Archive for LGBT Pride Month. Here's the repost!
Part I: It's All A Matter Of Perspective
I had to do some deep and major digging the last couple of years. Transitions whacked me in the face a-plenty, and the best way I can describe the other side of all that turmoil, trauma and tumultuousness, is with one word:
I have come to a point where I feel nothing - emptiness.
But, I feel, ya' know?
It's just a feeling like nothing I have ever felt before....

According to ESI-Africa, energy tariffs at Gateway Theatre of Shopping in KwaZulu-Natal skyrocket when power consumption exceeds the notified maximum demand (NMD). Following the implementation of Johnson Controls Metasys Building Management System (BMS), power consumption has been closely monitored and managed, a move that will save property owners Old Mutual Property (OMP) a considerable amount in energy costs a year.
Prestigious shopping mall Gateway has 150,000m2 of general letting area, almost 400 shop fronts, and 24 million people a year pass through its doors. Since Eskom's NMD tariff rules are in force, if the centre exceeds notified maximum demand, the facility is charged a premium on power usage. "Maintaining a cost effective green facility is non-negotiable criteria for OMP as a founding member of the Green Building Council of SA," Ken Davidson of the property investments division of OMP, says.
Ian Hargreaves of Johnson Controls describes the challenge faced at Gateway: to adequately manage the facility's consumption and utility bill, he says, it needs to measure power usage in real time and act quickly to keep usage in peak periods below the maximum. "We have been able to do this by integrating a panel track energy metering system to the shopping centre's now upgraded and IP enabled Metasys building management system," Hargreaves tells ESI-Africa.

Introduction to Guide
This guide introduces resources that describe, utilize, and support the current research landscape.
Considerations of the roles of author, content, sources, impact, reputation, rankings, and benchmarking are increasingly important in analyzing contributions to the research life cycle.
Information here is organized by the different methods of impact that the research landscape is defined by:
Tools are promoted that can be used to engage in research metrics. Since the landscape is constantly changing, Emerging Metrics are also explored. For basic information on the Science Information Lifecycle visit this tutorial.
In addition, the Subject Guide for Social Media applications to support research is now completed. This will help you share your research findings via different social media tools.
Recommended Methods
Some recommended methods of research impact and citation metrics are detailed in the pages of this guide:
Web of Science Citation Report (Author Impact)
Google Scholar Author Profile (Author Impact)
H-Index (Author Impact)
Altmetrics (Article Impact)
Web of Science Cited Reference Search (Article Impact)
Journal Citation Reports Impact Factor (IF) (Journal Impact)
Eigenfactor (Journal Impact)
Research Impacts Using Metrics
Research impact is a measure of the significance and importance of academic work within a scholarly community.
Bibliometrics are the use of quantitative tools to study publications and other written material.
Citation metrics focus on the statistical patterns and measurements of citations.
Citation analysis can be used as a quantifiable measure of academic output and research impact, which can help inform decisions on publication, promotion, and tenure.
Altmetrics is increasingly becoming an alternative and important method of measuring the impact of scholarly and other output and allows for social media tracking by various indicators such as number of tweets, blog posts, likes, bookmarks, etc. and are more timely wider-ranging measures of how people—both other researchers and the general public have demonstrated interested in an individual's work and contributions.
This guide is designed to help faculty members, graduate students and librarians use and understand the citation analysis tools available to us. At UCI, there is access to some of the major resources used for citation metrics, for example to obtain an Impact Factor (IF) you could consult the following tools -- Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports and Google Scholar. Descriptions of and guides to these tools can be accessed using the above drop-down menu, organized according to need.
Tools and methods of citation analysis are used to determine:
- How many times a publication or author has been cited
- Who is citing a publication or author
- A journal's impact factor (relative importance in a field or discipline)
- An author's published output ranking in a field or discipline.
Because of the limitations of each method, it is important to use multiple methods, sources, and tools to get a fuller and more complete analysis. Increasingly, the research community is studying how to assess the value of cooperation and collaboration among colleagues, scholars and scientists, with barriers being reduced and geography more global. New metrics and values will likely emerge through different sources, to complement and extend already existing methods and products.
Limitations of citation metrics:
- Current cause of concern articulated by scientists in this article about the role of impact factors in determining merits of science and scientists
- Errors on citing papers can lead to separate entries and missed counts.
- Author and institutional naming inconsistencies can lead to separate entries and missed counts.
- Different databases use different sources to generate data and some are more comprehensive than others.
- Tools are skewed towards the STEM (science, technology, engineering and medicine) communities of scholars.
- Citations do not measure the number of readings of a work.
- Citations are not the only indicators of the importance of a work.
The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) has generated a lot of discussion since it was launched by the American Society for Cell Biology in December 2012.

The ampullae of Lorenzini are the electroreceptors of elasmobranchs. Ampullary pores located in the elasmobranch skin are each connected to a gel-filled canal that ends in an ampullary bulb, in which the sensory epithelium is located. Each ampulla functions as an independent receptor that measures the potential difference between the ampullary pore opening and the body interior. In the elasmobranch head, the ampullary bulbs of different ampullae are aggregated in 3–6 bilaterally symmetric clusters, which can be surrounded by a connective tissue capsule. Each cluster is innervated by one branch of the anterior lateral line nerve (ALLN). Only the dorsal root of the ALLN carries electrosensory fibers, which terminate in the dorsal octavo-lateral nucleus (DON) of the medulla. Each ampullary cluster projects into a distinctive area in the central zone of the DON, where projection areas are somatotopically arranged. Sharks and rays can possess thousands of ampullae. Amongst other functions, the use of electroreception during prey localization is well documented. The distribution of ampullary pores in the skin of elasmobranchs is influenced by both the phylogeny and ecology of a species. Pores are grouped in distinct pore fields, which remain recognizable amongst related taxa. However, the density of pores within a pore field, which determines the electroreceptive resolution, is influenced by the ecology of a species. Here, I compare the pore counts per pore field between rhinobatids (shovelnose rays) and pristids (sawfish). In both groups, the number of ampullary pores on the ventral side of the rostrum is similar, even though the pristid rostrum can comprise about 20% of the total length. Ampullary pore numbers in pristids are increased on the upper side of the rostrum, which can be related to a feeding strategy that targets free-swimming prey in the water column. Shovelnose rays pin their prey onto the substrate with their disk, while repositioning their mouth for ingestion and thus possess large numbers of pores ventrally around the mouth and in the area between the gills.

Home » Senior Living » Assisted Living » Articles » How to Pay for Assisted Living
The national average rate for assisted living is $3,000 per month, according to the AgingCare.com Assisted Living Cost data. No matter what your socio-economic status, make sure you are taking advantage of all means available that can help pay for assisted living.
Most families pay for assisted living out of their own pockets using a combination of Social Security, pensions, Veterans benefits, home equity, and savings.
Find an Assisted Living Facility »
Here are ways to pay for assisted living, some that most people know about – and others that are less-known:
Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-term care insurance is a policy that is purchased through a private insurance company. Similar to health insurance policies, the price varies greatly depending on factors such as the person's health, age, and amount of coverage. Coverage could be denied for people with pre-existing conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, a stroke, or Parkinson's disease. However, insurers vary widely in their criteria. If one company denies an applicant, another company might accept that person.
Medicare does not pay for the cost of living in an assisted living facility. Medicare does not pay for room and board or personal care at assisted living. Medicare might pay for short-term stays in an assisted living facility or rehabilitation center while someone recovers from an illness, injury, or surgery. Assistance from Medicare is very limited.
Medicaid is a State and Federal government program for older people with low incomes and limited assets. However, administration of the program falls to the individual states, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which says "each state sets its own guidelines regarding eligibility and services." The number of state Medicaid programs paying for assisted living is increasing. As of March 2012, Medicaid will pay for some assisted living fees in 41 states.
Aid and Attendance Veterans Benefit
The Veterans Administration's Aid and Attendance is part of an "improved pension" benefit that is largely unknown. Living in an Assisted Living facility qualifies. Aid and Attendance is in addition to a vet's regular VA pension. As of 2012, a Veteran is eligible for up to $1,704 monthly; a surviving spouse is eligible for up to $1,094 monthly; a Veteran with a spouse is eligible for up to $2,020 monthly; and a Veteran with a sick spouse is eligible for up to $1,338 monthly, according to Veteranaid.org.
Investment-based options to pay for assisted living
The following ways to pay for assisted living are riskier, because they are financial transactions rather than government money. They should be considered only after other options have been exhausted.
Life Settlements
A life settlement, or life insurance settlement, converts life insurance into money that can be used to pay for long-term care. The company that issued the policy buys it back for 50 to 75 percent of its face value. The settlement company pays the premiums until the policyholder dies, at which point the company, not the policy's original beneficiaries, receives the money.
Reverse Mortgage
Elders who own their home outright or have only a small mortgage can trade in their equity for a loan. A home equity loan is known as a reverse mortgage. It allows people to trade in ownership without making immediate payments on the loan. Payments don't start until the home is no longer the primary living space.
AnnuitiesAn annuity is a contract between a person and an insurance company that is designed to meet retirement and other long-range goals. You make a lump-sum payment or series of payments. In return, the insurer agrees to make periodic payments to you beginning immediately or at some future date.
Bridge Loan
Bridge Loans are a risky option that should be used with caution. A bridge loan is a short-term, temporary loan. For example, some elders are trying to sell their house to move to assisted living. But suddenly their care needs become too urgent to wait until the house sells before moving to assisted living. For people affected by conditions out of their control, a bridge loan, typically for 6 to 12 months, may be a viable option. The homeowner is assuming that the existing house is going to sell within the length of time specified in the contract.
Paying for assisted living doesn't have to come from one source. There are options available, and seniors and their families should consider those that apply to their situation. And remember, before taking risks with investments and assets, or making a major financial decision, speak with a financial advisor.

Addis Ababa — A groundbreaking meeting in the Ethiopian capital this week has strengthened efforts to scale up nutrition initiatives under the Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger and Undernutrition initiative, known as REACH.
It has been the largest-scale gathering of the REACH partnership since the initiative was established in 2008. It brought together technical experts and officials from four UN agencies in all 12 countries where the REACH approach is being followed, as well as from the host country, Ethiopia.
The REACH partnership is about joint, coordinated UN support of national governments to expand and link several interventions into one global approach in the fight against malnutrition. The Addis Ababa meeting provided an unprecedented opportunity for partners who are battling undernutrition to learn from each other and build on the work they are doing in different parts of the globe.
"This is the first time we've gotten together on this scale to learn the lessons from 13 countries in Africa and Asia about how to scale up nutrition in practice," said Nancy Walters, the REACH Global Coordinator. "Addressing undernutrition is a first and basic precondition for development and growth to take root. UN agencies, governments, NGOs and the private sector are joining efforts to reduce mother and child undernutrition."
The meeting heard how Ethiopia has successfully cut stunting rates from 57 percent to 44 percent in 10 years. Delegates from the UN in Sierra Leone outlined how they built a national multi-sector nutrition strategy. UN delegates from Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda explained how public awareness helped improve nutrition, and how district-level actions helped to translate policies into action on the ground. Participants also shared case studies from other countries, such as Mali, Mauritania, Nepal, Ghana, Rwanda, Niger, Chad and Bangladesh.
The meeting included representatives from WHO, FAO, UNICEF and WFP as well as technical experts in nutrition, health, agriculture and food security - all of which are critical to tackling nutrition problems in the critical first thousand days of a child's life.
Undernourished children suffer irreversible damage to their physical and cognitive development, which affects their health and ability to learn and ultimately the growth of a nation.
REACH was initially established by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) as a way to support achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, and the initiative now includes many other UN agencies and partners on the ground.

The US Army hasn't yet said it will retire its aging fleet of Bell OH-58 Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopters.
But if the Army makes that decision — reports suggested it will — the fleet should be grounded promptly to save scare financial resources in the current budget-constrained environment, says a top army procurement official.
"I think you save money the faster you retire the system," outgoing program executive officer for army aviation Gen. William Crosby says on 14 January.
"You have to maintain a huge infrastructure to support [any programme]," adds Crosby, noting also that helicopter reconnaissance will remain critical to the army. "Faster is better, if and when a decision is made."
Bell OH-58 Kiowa Warrior
Crosby, who is set to retire from the army on 24 January, spoke to reporters during the Association of the United States Army's Army Aviation Symposium near Washington, DC.
His comments come amid reports that army officials are considering grounding Kiowas and using Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopters to fulfill the reconnaissance mission.
Reports also suggest the armed aerial scout (AAS) programme, which was to development Kiowa's replacement, is on the chopping block.
When asked about the future of AAS, Crosby says, "I don't know that we will revisit armed aerial scout."
He says unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could eventually replaced manned scouts, but insists the transition remains many years away.
UAVs, says Crosby, still lack the "situational curiosity" and critical decision-making ability of human pilots.
In the meantime, Crosby suggests that pressing Apaches into the scout role could be effective.
He calls attention to an Army analysis that found the Apache was well-suited for the job, and adds that recent and future Apache improvement might address concerns about the aircraft's dispatch reliability and higher operating costs.
For instance, Crosby calls the Block III Apache AH-64E, which achieved initial operational capability with the army late last year, "a huge improvement" over previous models.
That aircraft has composite rotor blades with an improved airfoil and an upgraded engine and transmission.
Those changes are intended to restore speed and lift performance, which degraded in the last two decades as the Army added weight to the original airframe.
The army is also working to develop a more-efficient engines for its Apache's and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks through its Improved Turbine Engine Programme, Crosby notes.

Ivan Eland: Deep down, both Republican and Democratic politicians believe something needs to be done about the monstrous and dangerous deficit and debt, but they are scared to do anything because, unfortunately, the American people want their government handouts but are unwilling to pay for them.
The Battle for the Soul of the GOP
Robert Reich: Tea Partiers have almost as much contempt for big business and the Street as they do for government. After all, the Tea Party was born in anger over the Wall Street bailout. This is the heart of the civil war in the GOP.
The Fake Budget Debate
Big Republican Lies About Jobs
The Republican Shakedown
Across-the-Board Cuts Needed to Avoid Fiscal Armageddon
Ivan Eland: To keep with the bipartisan spirit after the Gabrielle Giffords' assassination attempt and also to avoid partisan fighting over spending priorities, which will bog down and probably eventually kill any significant budget cuts, all government programs should be cut by 15 percent from last year's budget level, including heretofore sacred defense and entitlement programs.
The Tea Party Conservative Strategy for 2011
Robert Reich: Next week starts the new Congress, and with it the Tea Party conservatives. What are they going to do about government spending? Knowing they don't stand a chance of getting a direct repeal of the healthcare mandate, they'll try to strip the federal budget appropriation of money needed to put the healthcare mandate into effect. This could lead to a standoff with the White House over government funding in general, and a possible government shutdown.

Whom Do You Trust?
Steve Hochstadt: Those who want government to go away, or at least get a lot smaller, seem to have two ideas about how to shrink government: Cut out the "waste" and let private companies take over many of its functions. Their assumption is that the private sector can do these jobs better and cheaper. Is that true?

Genes in cells throughout the body switch on and off throughout the day in a coordinated way. Or at least they should. In people with clinical depression, genes in their brain tissues appear to be significantly out of sync – a finding that could lead to new treatments for the condition.
We know from previous studies that genes in cells elsewhere, such as the skin, follow a 24-hour cycle of activity. But identifying patterns of genetic activity in a living brain isn't easy to do.
"We always assumed we would have a clock [in our brain]," says Huda Akil at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "But it had never been shown before."
Akil and her colleagues examined the brains of 55 people with a known time of death, looking at around 12,000 genes in tissues from six brain regions. By matching the time of death with molecular signs of genetic activity – whether each gene was actively expressing itself or not – the team identified hundreds of genes that follow a daily cycle.
Sudden death
Akil says it was important to look at the brains of individuals who had died suddenly – through a heart attack or car accident, for example. Slower deaths can cause dramatic changes in the brain that would have obscured what they were looking for, but sudden death freezes the genetic activity. "We can capture an instant," she says.
Once the team had a record of how these genes work together like an intricate set of gears, with different but coordinated timings, they found they could read a given snapshot of genetic activity like a clock. This meant that by examining the genetic state of the brain in someone who had recently died, the team could correctly determine the time of death – unless that person had depression.
When the team looked at the brains of 34 people who had been diagnosed with major depressive disorder before they died, they found that far fewer genes followed a regular cycle, and many of those that did were out of phase. "It was as if they were in a different time zone," says Akil.
Akil hopes that the findings could lead to the development of new drugs that might help doctors reset this out-of-sync biological clock in people with depression.
Disrupted sleep patterns are a common symptom of clinical depression, says Derk-Jan Dijk, director of the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK, who was not involved in the work. "But it may not be the clock genes driving behaviour," he says. "It may be the other way around." He hopes more studies of this kind will make the activity cycles of individual genes clearer.
Master clock not included
Dijk also notes that the study does not have data from the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) – the part of the brain thought to be the body's master clock. Akil says she wishes that the team had been able to study this region. "It's a heartbreaker it's not in there," she says. But the SCN sits deep in the brain and proved too hard to reach. "It gets torn as the brain is lifted from the skull," says Akil.
Akil and colleagues are now working on a way to monitor clock genes in the brain without having to dissect it. They have taken samples of blood and skin cells from the people whose brains they studied, and hope to generate stem cells from these samples to grow specific types of brain cell in the lab. By comparing their record of the timing of gene activity in someone's brain with that of genes in lab-grown brain tissue derived from the same person, the researchers may be able to learn to identify the signs of a disrupted clock in living patients. As Akil puts it, the idea is to look at a living person and ask: "Is their clock broken?"

Today there are millions
of e-commerce companies - or companies that have e-commerce divisions
- all over the world. To become successful – remain successful
– they all require people with state-of-the-art MINDS.
Means there are lots of opportunities
for bright people - highly skilled in their fields who have business-like
attitudes/habits - who want to work in teams with overseas
companies – but stay in the Philippines – and
telecommute to work.
Taken collectively, e-commerce may
be the largest industry on earth and growing.
Don't Train People to Build Web Sites. We Train Individuals
to Help Build and Manage Real E-Commerce COMPANIES.
How to apply the four
fundamental 'components' of any successful
e-commerce company – large or small:
(a) Market Niche Selection
and Evaluation
(b) Web Presence design & development to fit the Target
(c) Marketing into the Web to get qualified web
(d) Customer Service and Business Administration Systems
If you don't have all
four components – each excellently done – you
will not have a financially successful e-commerce company
earning adequate return-on-investment – or at least
won't have one for very long.
Since most of the companies
you may work with will be foreign companies you will also
be learning – and be held to - Western work ethics,
standards and protocols (examples: e-mail
communications, deadlines, etc).
Anywhere in the world,
recent grads have a similar employment problem. It's
difficult to get a job because they don't have any
'real world' work experience. With this special
AMA program, you'll be working with 'real live'
e-commerce companies – live on the Web –
so you'll have 'real world' experience
– PLUS 'credentials' so you can show prospective
employers your live e-commerce work with a simple mouse
Currently enrolled –
exceptionally skilled AMA students in their 3rd and 4th
year of studies – OR - previous AMA Graduates
seeking careers in E-commerce. You must be recommended by
a faculty member to be considered.
Please note
– Current Students: The E-commerce Training Academy
is an extra-curricular activity. Means participation
does not replace any of your scheduled academic work nor
responsibilities. There is no tuition charge
to participate. It's a wonderful added benefit of

Janet L. Bergstrom
Janet Bergstrom's current research involves archivally based, cross-cultural studies of European directors who worked in more than one national cinema, such as Jean Renoir, F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang, as well as contemporary French/Francophone directors Claire Denis and Chantal Akerman. Her work has been published in English, French, German, Italian and Japanese. Bergstrom entered the field of DVD "critical editions" with Murnau's "Tabu" (Milestone/Image Entertainment 2002; also distributed through Kino), an original audio essay co-extensive with the film, a 25 minute audio essay co-extensive with outtakes, and mastering a captioned slideshow of some 70 photos and pages from Murnau's annotated shooting script. Subsequently, she made the documentary, "Murnau's 4 Devils: Traces of a Lost Film" as a special feature for the "Sunrise" DVD (Twentieth Century Fox Films 2003), also released on the French DVD "L'Aurore" (Carlotta Films 2003). Bergstrom presented an alternate version of this documentary at the Berlin Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, Cinema Ritrovato/the Bologna Film Festival (Italy), and at the colloquial "L'Invention et l'archive", IMEC, L'Abbaye d'Ardenne (France). It was screened at the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris and was on permanent display during the Carl Mayer Retrospective at the Filmarchiv Austria in Vienna.
Recent essays include: "Opacity in the Films of Claire Denis" in "French Civilization and Its Discontents: Nationalism, Colonialism, Race," "Murnau in Amerika: 'The German Genius'" in "Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau: Ein Melancholiker des Films" (Berlin), "Invented Memories" in "Identity and Memory: The Films of Chantal Akerman," "Murnau in America: Chronicle of Lost Films ("4 Devils," "City Girl"), "Film History" (winter 2002) and "Bibliotheque du Film, Paris: A Fire and its Consequences," "Film History" (spring 2003). Her essay "Keeping a Distance (The Innovators 1970-1980: Chantal Akerman)" was published in "Sight & Sound." Other publications include Endless Night: Cinema and Psychoanalysis, Parallel Histories. She was founding co-editor of "Camera Obscura" from 1974-1992.
Among other projects, Bergstrom is currently organizing a special issue of "Film History" devoted to the year 1927. She has served on the University of California's advisory board to the Paris Critical Studies Program for many years, and published a "Guide to Resources for French Studies at UCLA" through the European Studies Program. She has sponsored seminars with directors Agnes Varda and Claire Denis, co-organized UCLA conferences on "Feminism and the Theory of the Subject," "Psychoanalysis and Cinema: Parallel Histories," "Inside the Renoir Archives," and "Writing the History of French Cinema."
She has felt privileged to invite to her courses, among others, Allison Anders, Thom Andersen, Shirley Clarke, Budd Boetticher, Rudi Fehr, Carl Franklin, Joseph H. Lewis, Abraham Polonsky, Ann Savage, David Raksin, Andre de Toth and Shirley and Ariane Ulmer.

Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy is reportedly set to reconnect with his Inception co-star Leonardo DiCaprio for the upcoming Western The Revenant.
Variety reports that Hardy has now fully committed to the role after being linked to the project for several weeks.
The film, reportedly shooting this fall, is based on the Michael Punke novel that follows a vengeful 1820s frontiersman on his path to make even with those who left him for dead after he was mauled by a bear.
Hardy, 36, last starred in the 2013 indie thriller, Locke.

Re: [13th Division] Hidden castle - Zanpakutou retreat
Seki smiled and nodded. To someone who has looked past many deceptions, his reaction would look forced. In truth, it really isn't. It's simply how he rolls. Contradictions are what made both him and his wielder. Whatever. "Yes. Nothing wrong with it. It's never wrong to have too many information, even if you don't have too many information. Any amount of information is good actually." But he's rambling, though that part went unsaid. If there's something wrong with his mind, he's fine with it. Just makes things a lot more fun anyway.

Re: [13th Division] Hidden castle - Zanpakutou retreat
The sky was a carpet of black.
A crescent moon hung high in the heavens over the hidden castle, the speckling of silver stars dotted beneath it like teardrops against the velvet night.
In the shadows of the castle, a slight, lithe figure ghosted from corner to corner, illuminating each shadowy alcove with her ethereal aura of light.
Spoiler: click to show
Her expression was a mixture of sadness and frustration, the staff she carried in her hand glimmering and rippling with energy as though reflecting the feelings in her heart. Her long, golden hair rippled out behind her, though there was no tangible sense of breeze, and her feet barely touched the ground, her movements soundless against the grass.
It was no good. No matter how hard she tried, the girl could not yet hear her voice.
She let out a sigh, watching as the exhalation caused the fragments of light around her body to shift slightly out and then back into position.
She had been so sure that, as soon as the girl had come here, things would be different. She was certain that here, the girl would have heard her attempts to speak...but it had all been in vain.
And so, lonely and despairing of anyone ever hearing her voice again, she had come here, to this dark, empty shell of a place. It's bleakness suited her mood. Spirits usually congregated in these shadowy locations to be alone with their thoughts, but in her case, she had been alone far too long.
She had come seeking companionship, yet she did not know whether she would be able to communicate even with her own kind. Her confidence shattered, Gekkoushin lurked at the edge of the castle grounds, reluctant to haze her golden form through the cracks at the window shutters and into the rooms within.

Re: [13th Division] Hidden castle - Zanpakutou retreat
The air seemed calm, clean. The water serene and dyed a deep blue. It seemed like the perfect place for one to take a break when needed. A silhouette of a women could be seen on the reflection of the lake nearby, standing with pride. She had long violet hair, dark blue eyes and armor that covered her entire body. Usually she was in a fighting stance, as the zanpakuto spirit was ruthless on the battlefield. But today, she was instructed to take a break from the constant training and fighting and relax. Although the women didn't know of what the word meant, exactly. It had been ages since the last time she relaxed on her own. But the water nearby seemed to soothe her; her face full of harmonious bliss.

Re: [13th Division] Hidden castle - Zanpakutou retreat
Hikaru had been in her inner world a few times and she and her zanpakutou spirit had gotten to know each other very well, but she thought he might need a reprieve for a while, so she wandered over to the grounds of the thirteenth division over to the hidden castle.
Once at the hidden castle, Hikaru made her way to a place she had heard about during her time in the thirteenth, It was called the Zanpakutou Retreat; a place to let your zanpakutou spirit roam free.
The sixth seat entered the retreat and found there were different paths to take. Seeing the woods, she decided to take this path and see what was here.
Soon, Hikaru heard rushing waters. Had they come across spring or waterfall? Indeed, they had come across a hot spring.
Hikaru thought her zanpakutou spirit would like this area, so she unsheathed her sword and released her zanpakutou. She called out, "Yugandero 歪んでろ (Warp), Kyouki (Insanity) 狂気!" Instead of it forming the usual chain sickle, Hikaru's zanpakutou spirit took on his true form and revealed himself, appearing in front of her, facing her. "Greetings, Hikaru-dono."
Hikaru smiled and explained to Kyouki she had freed him for the day. "Kyouki, why don't you take the day off and explore to your heart's content. I found a relaxing place for you. I've brought you to the hot springs, but you take your choice of where you want to go."
Kyouki bowed and thanked his partner for allowing him to rest. "Thank you, hime."
Indeed, Kyouki first rested in the hot springs area. He took off his bandages and hopped in. The water did sting some at first, but it felt good. Kyouki had hoped this would help his wounds. He'd stay here for a while and then later, find another place to explore.

The Glee Project's Mario Bonds Says He's Not The Villain You Think
Fans of The Glee Project know that this week's eliminated contender, 24-year-old D.C.-native Mario Bonds, is full of confidence. He may be blind since childhood, but that doesn't get in the way of Mario's passion and drive to succeed as a performer.
If anything, Mario's main fault in this competition is that he came off as too confident. His cocky attitude appeared to rub some people the wrong way, and cameras even showed him correcting the judges or belittling their advice on a couple of occasions.
The thing is, Mario says that his portrayal on The Glee Project isn't an accurate depiction of who he actually is. Fans may think of him as the villain, but Marios says that's not actually the case.
"The Glee Project audience only saw a fraction of who I am," Mario tells Entertainment Weekly. "I am not the villain of the piece. And that's sort of how I've been cast. In a nutshell, I'm a happy go lucky, goofy guy who can't stop laughing."
While many people may think he talked back to the mentors, Mario doesn't see it that way. "I would never think I had knowledge to lord over these industry professionals," he says. Mario tells EW he was simply trying to do what it took to stay in the running to win.
" It's a competition, and I think people have forgotten that. So sometimes when you are trying to save yourself, in some cases I got wrongfully defensive, but my whole plan was to save myself."
Mario says he reads the blogs and internet chatter, so he knows that some of the fans weren't too fond of him on the show. "People went from loving me to hating me, and who they hate isn't Mario Bonds. That's not who I am. To be honest, I was a bit devastated about it. I learned you have to have tough skin in this situation. I do regret that the audience was only shown a fraction of my real talent and a fraction of who I really am."
