JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel's new school year begins Tuesday with nearly 2.13 million students, roughly a quarter of the total population and an increase of 60,000 students from last year. About 150,000 students are starting school for the first time this year.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Education Minister Shai Piron were on hand in the coastal city of Netanya to greet the children.
Piron expressed what many Israelis feel: excitement "…that more than 2 million students and tens of thousands of teachers" are starting school today.

Geographic Range
Harpy eagles (Harpia harpyja) are distributed throughout Central to South America. They are found from southern Mexico to the eastern part of Bolivia, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. (Beacham, 2000; Frost, 2007; Grzimek, 2003; Merrick, 2006; Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Tingay, 2010)
- Biogeographic Regions
- neotropical
Harpy eagles live in the canopies of tropical lowland rainforests. They prefer undisturbed forests but will also hunt along open patches of land. They generally are found in mid to upper levels of rain forest canopies where they are able to find preferred prey. (Beacham, 2000; Fowler and Cope, 1964; Frost, 2007; Grzimek, 2003; Merrick, 2006; Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Tingay, 2010; Trinca, et al., 2008; de Carvalho, jr. and Galetti, 2000)

Physical Description
Harpy eagles are the largest species of eagle with a body length that can range from 89 to 102 cm and a wing span of 2 m. Their talons can be up to 12.5 cm long. Females are normally larger with an average weight of 7 to 9 kg, while the males weigh an average of 5 to 8 kg. The mantle, scapulars, the top of the secondaries and primaries, secondary coverts, greater primary coverts, and the rump are slate black in color, but can vary to gray. The tail is made up of long gray feathers with horizontal black bars. The breast, belly, and flanks, are light grey with horizontal black stripes. The head, thighs and vent are light gray and the nape has a dark band across it. The crown of harpy eagles consists of long black feathers which raise when threatened, though some theorize they also raise them to direct sound to their ears. Their bills are black and their feet are yellow with black talons. (Beacham, 2000; Fowler and Cope, 1964; Frost, 2007; Grzimek, 2003; Merrick, 2006)

Harpy eagles form breeding pairs that last for life. The pair builds the nest together and chirp to each other while doing so. They will occasionally rub their bills together for a few seconds before going back to work. This activity seems to help them to preserve their bond. They build their nests in large, tall trees, high above the forest floor. During the nest building phase, the pair will rarely radiate more than 180 m from the nest. The mating pair of harpy eagles does not have a courtship display before mating, and will mate multiple times over a period of a few days. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978)
- Mating System
- monogamous
The breeding season for harpy eagles coincides with the start of the rainy season which usually begins in April or May. Harpy eagles construct large nests that measure 1.2 m thick and 1.5 m across. The nests are built 27 to 43 m above ground, and consist of woven sticks lined with soft vegetation and animal fur. These impressive nests are reused by breeding pairs every year. The female lays two eggs, but will raise only one chick. Eggs are incubated for an average of 56 days. Both parents tend the chick for 10 months, well after the chick fledges between 6 and 7 months of age. Juveniles often stay near their parents for some time and will occasionally beg for food. Juveniles do not reach maturity until 5 or 6 years old, at which time they often return to their original nesting area to breed. Pairs of harpy eagles only breed once every 2 to 3 years. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978; de Carvalho, jr. and Galetti, 2000)

Harpy eagles invest a lot of time and energy into their offspring. Both parents incubate the egg for the 56 day incubation period. The female will perform most of the incubation while the male is in search of food. Chicks are hatched altricial, and thus are helpless with downy feathers and eyes open. They will only tend a single chick, so if two eggs are laid, the first born will be fed and the second will perish from starvation. The parents actively tend the young for 10 months, which is several months after the chick fledges at 6 or 7 months old. The parents feed the juvenile once every few days and during this time the juvenile is mostly inactive while occasionally making small flights within the nesting tree. Juvenile harpy eagles often remain in the parents' territory for at least 1 year. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978)

Harpy eagles are estimated to live 25 to 35 years if they remain healthy. Disease and injury dramatically affects their chances of survival by inhibiting their ability to find and capture prey. (Beacham, 2000; Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Tingay, 2010)

Harpy eagles are most often found in pairs as they form monogamous pairs that mate for life. Pairs are also observed with a third, juvenile eagle which is their offspring from the most recent breeding season. They are solitary hunters which use their keen sense of sight to locate arboreal prey in thick rainforests. Harpy eagles can potentially perch for up to 23 hours in search of prey. They are incredibly skilled in flight and are adept at maneuvering through their dense, forest habitat. They are diurnal and hunt during the day. (Rettig, 1978; de Carvalho, jr. and Galetti, 2000)

Home Range
Harpy eagles require territories of about 30 square km for adequate hunting. They are very territorial and will drive out any competing individuals. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978)
Communication and Perception
Harpy eagles use vocalizations to communicate with one another and visual displays and vocalizations in mating rituals. They will often produce vocalizations while sitting on perches, which sound like "uahaaaau...uahaaaau...uahaaaau". This is believed to be territorial behavior. Pairs of harpy eagles will often rub their bills together, which is believed to be part of mate bonding. Like all birds, harpy eagles perceive their environment through visual, tactile, auditory and chemical stimuli. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978)
- Other Communication Modes
- duets
Food Habits
Harpy eagles depend on their 5 inch long talons and powerful legs to subdue prey items. They are well-adapted to snatching prey from the canopy and are powerful enough fliers to carry their prey away to a perch to feed. Harpy eagles' main food sources are sloths and primates, but have also been known to prey upon lizards, birds, small rodents, and sometimes small deer. (Fowler and Cope, 1964; Grzimek, 2003; Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Rettig, 1978; Trinca, et al., 2008; de Carvalho, jr. and Galetti, 2000)
- Primary Diet
- eats terrestrial vertebrates
- Animal Foods
- birds
- mammals
- reptiles
Harpy eagles are apex predators of their rainforest ecosystems. Hatchling harpy eagles may be at risk from predation by other harpy eagles. This type of predation is a rare occasion as the parents defend the nest and their territory. (Rettig, 1978)
- Known Predators
- Harpy eagles (Harpia Harpyja)
Ecosystem Roles
Harpy eagles are apex predators of their rainforest ecosystems. Like most predators, they aid in keeping prey populations in check. They have an important role in controlling mesopredators such as capuchin monkeys (Cebus). Capuchin monkeys often prey on bird eggs, and if left unchecked these mesopredators could lead to the local extintions of sensitive species. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Trinca, et al., 2008)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Harpy eagles will occasionally be used in ceremonial rituals by indigenous hunters. Harpy eagles are also the national birds of both Panama and Parana, Brazil. (Trinca, et al., 2008)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There have been reports of harpy eagles preying on small livestock, such as chickens, of local farmers. However, this is a rare occurrence and the eagles overall have no adverse effects on humans. (Trinca, et al., 2008)
Conservation Status
Harpy eagles are listed as least concern by the IUCN Red List but notes the population is declining. They are listed as endangered by the United States Federal List in isolated regions of Mexico. The international trade of this species is regulated under CITES which considers harpy eagles to be under the greatest threat of becoming endangered. There have been many cases of local extinctions in areas with a lot of human activity. This is caused mainly to the destruction of its habitat due to logging and farming. There have also been reports of harpy eagles being shot by farmers who perceive the eagles as livestock predators. Programs are being set up to educate farmers and hunters to increase awareness and understanding of harpy eagles. (Rettig and Hayes, 1995; Tingay, 2010; Trinca, et al., 2008)

Balloons Are Amazing
Posted by Nukaya , in Life, Photography Jun 19 2009 · 70 viewscollege, balloons and 1 more...
Ok, so one balloon by itself is pretty cool. Like, you can play volleyball with it, or entertain a cat, or fill it with water and throw it at someone, you know, tons of fun stuff. But. what if you had several thousand balloons? All in one room? And then you added some college students who just got done with finals and have a bit too much energy? The results are quite astounding:
One half of the mastermind team that started this entire thing.
For a comparison to just how tall the balloon pile was, I am on a bed here (about 18" off the ground) and I'm about 5'4".
O.o Balloon creeper!
Oh, and we probably broke a lot of/all fire safety codes doing this (about a week ago. Never got time to post this until now due to moving out of dorm), but our RA didn't complain and sort of joined the balloon fray as well, so no worries. The Fire Marshall would've probably had a heyday, but we would've invited him to join in if he had showed up.

Parallel Phase 2 studies could expedite development timeline
TSX Exchange Symbol: RVX
CALGARY, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) provided an outline yesterday at the Company's Annual General Meeting for shareholders highlighting the Company's clinical plan path for Resverlogix's lead drug, RVX-208, for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Resverlogix outlined that the next two clinical studies will be performed in parallel. Start up activities for both studies have already commenced in conjunction with the Cleveland Clinic and the IVUS Steering Committee. The studies, following normal FDA submission guidelines, will include a Phase 2 Pilot Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) trial to examine early lipid effects, and atheroma plaque characterization of the coronary vessel wall in 60 acute coronary syndrome patients. In parallel to this, a Phase 2 Dose-Ranging trial will be conducted in 280 stable cardiovascular patients on standard of care therapy, including statins, examining lipid changes. Both of these clinical trials will dose patients with coronary disease who are on standard treatment for 13 weeks. The start-up activities for these trials have commenced with screening, randomization and first dosing expected in Q1 2010. Updates on future clinical trials will be announced as they progress.
"We have made a significant advancement in our clinical trial plans due to the successful results in our most recent Phase 1b/2a clinical trial," said Donald J. McCaffrey, President and CEO of Resverlogix. "We have now been able to initiate Phase 2 Pilot IVUS study activities. For the first time we will now be able to assess RVX-208 effects on actual atherosclerosis plaque within the arterial wall of the heart vessels. We are performing this study in the acute coronary syndrome population which is one of the prioritized patients groups. This is a significant miles

Last week, the hat Hammond wore while filming our Christmas special in India went for £2,000. We were fairly staggered that TG.com member "Cat" paid that much, but hey, it's all for charity.
But today, the stakes have definitely been raised in the stuff-for-sale-that-belongs-to-someone-associated-with-cars-and-the-proceeds-are-going-to-charity.
Yes, you can own the very shirt that Eddie Jordan wore on BBC One at the first Indian Grand Prix in October. If you watched yesterday's coverage, you'll know that as well as genuine Jordanmusk, the shirt's covered in the signatures of several F1 drivers from last weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as well as that of Paul "George" McCartney.
The auction winner also gets a DVD of the Beeb's coverage of the Indian Grand Prix race, which shows the great man fashioning said shirt. Follow the auction right here - any TopGearcommers out there with very deep pockets?

Longley Dodge has seen a number of changes over the years, but that hasn't stopped the dealership, located on Route 57 in Fulton, from continuing to grow and thrive.
Longley Dodge started out a body shop in 1947, then started selling GMC trucks in 1956; the dealership sold the brand until the early 1960s. They took on Studebakers in 1959 and sold the iconic models until the brand folded in 1966. In 1963, the shop started selling Dodge vehicles, and they've been doing business that way ever since.
So what accounts for their longevity?
"We're a family organization," said owner Dennis Longley, who runs the business with his cousin Gene and son Doug. "I think that has a lot to do with it, especially since we're in a small community. People like to come here and know they're going to get good service."
And that service isn't overbearing, Longley said.
"Our sales staff doesn't pressure you," he said. "They're not pushy. We don't like to operate that way, because it doesn't really serve the customer as well."
That's why people keep coming back.
"A lot of our business is repeat business," Longley said. "People come back to us."
And if there is a problem, people know they can go to the top to find a solution.
"The buck stops at my desk," Longley said.
Longley said to look for a new addition to their lineup this year.
"We've got a new car coming out this summer - the Dodge Dart," he said. "It's a small, four-door car with midsize car room in the interior that gets up to 40 miles per gallon. It was the hit of the Detroit Auto Show in January. Watch our website [longleydodge.com] for future information on this vehicle."
Longley Dodge, which has been on the web for more than 10 years, continues to grow. It is one of only a few dealers that have pictures and pricing online, with up to 25-plus pictures of each vehicle. The dealership is on Facebook and Twitter, just launched its mobile website for Smart Devices and has one of the fastest response times of any dealership.
Due to customer demand, the service department is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
Longley Dodge is located at 1698 Route 57, just south of Fulton. They can be reached at 598-2135 or at longleydodge.com.

Short Ribs in Tomato Sauce

Short Ribs with Wine and Cream
I think I've established that I'm obsessed with short ribs. The first time I ever tasted one, I fainted from the sheer, slow-cooked bliss of it all. Short ribs, contrary to what many might assume, are not in the same category of the ribs people smoke and rub in barbecue sauce. [...]

The space shuttle Discovery lands safely
The space shuttle Discovery safely landed at California's Edwards Air-Force base at approximately 5 PM local California time in the United States after two weeks in space.
The craft had been scheduled to land in the state of Florida, at the Kennedy Sapce Center, but due to weather concerns, the landing site was changed.
Discovery's seven crew members were part of the first space shuttle mission since 2003, when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon entering the earth's atmosphere, killing all seven crew members.
The shuttle was greeted by approximately 40 cheering fans, who had apparently waited all night to watch the landing.
Due to the continuous orbit of the shuttle over the earth, Discovery experienced 219 sunsets over the course of the 14 day mission.

NEW YORK — Worldwide shipments of tablet computers slowed down in the second quarter because Apple didn't release a new model of its trend-setting iPad, research firm IDC said Monday.
Shipments totaled 45.1 million units in the April-June period, down nearly 10 percent from the first three months of the year. Still the second-quarter total is up nearly 60 percent from a year ago, a sign that the market continues to grow.
"A new iPad launch always piques consumer interest in the tablet category and traditionally that has helped both Apple and its competitors," said Tom Mainelli, a research director at IDC. "With no new iPads, the market slowed for many vendors."
Apple normally releases a new iPad in the spring, but it has moved to fall launches to take advantage of the lucrative holiday shopping season. That means people who want iPads may be holding out for a new model. Samsung and other rivals have released new tablet models this spring, but IDC says those launches didn't get the spillover boost that a new iPad would have provided.
Mainelli said he expects weakness to continue in the July-September period, but tablet shipments should pick up again in the holiday quarter, when Apple and others are expected to release new products.
Besides a new iPad, Amazon.com Inc. is likely to refresh its Kindle Fire line, while Google Inc. is expected to come out with a new 10-inch Nexus model. Google released a new 7-inch Nexus last week.
Apple remains the leading maker of tablets, with 14.6 million shipped in the April-June period. But as disclosed in the company's earnings report last month, shipments fell 14 percent from a year ago. IDC says Apple's market share fell to 32 percent in the second quarter, compared with 60 percent in the same period in 2012.
Samsung Electronics Co., maker of the Galaxy line of phones and tablets, saw shipments nearly quadruple to 8.1 million in the second quarter. That gave Samsung a market share of 18 percent, up from 7.6 percent a year earlier.
Mainelli said Samsung "is certainly gearing up to be Apple's biggest competitor in tablets, but I think it will still be some time before they catch them."
Meanwhile, makers of Android tablets, in general, are benefiting from the introduction of smaller, cheaper tablets with screen sizes of about 7 inches diagonally. Apple didn't come out with its iPad Mini until the fall. Mainelli said the smaller screens "made it possible to have a decent experience running Android smartphone apps on the tablets. This helped Android overcome the lack of tablet-specific apps in the market."
AsusTek Computer Inc., which makes the Nexus 7 for Google along with its own branded Android tablets, was No. 3 with 2 million tablets. It was followed by Lenovo Group with 1.5 million and Acer Inc. with 1.4 million. Microsoft Corp., maker of the Surface tablets, dropped out of the top five after coming in at No. 5 in the first quarter, according to IDC. Amazon also lost its top-five status. It had been No. 4 in the first quarter.

Inquiring the Usage of Aspect-Oriented Programming: An Empirical Study
Date Added: Jul 2009
Format: PDF
Back in 2001, the MIT announced aspect-oriented programming as a key technology in the next 10 years. Nowadays, 8 years later, AOP is not widely adopted. Several reasons can explain this distrust in front of AOP, and one of them is the lack of robust tools for analysis, testing and maintenance. In order to develop dedicated solutions for assisting the development with AOP, and increase its adoption, the authors need to understand how it is actually used. In this paper, they analyze 38 aspect-oriented open source projects with respect to the impact of aspects on the projects, and to coverage of the language features. This reveals that AOP is currently used in a cautious way.

comScore recently published a list of the top ten burning issues in digital. There were some interesting data nuggets about media consumption (and how having more screens leads to more time spent on all of them).
But, overall, the list of "burning issues" contained no real surprises. What struck us was how nearly every item on the list is so closely intertwined with the others that it seemed like it's actually about one big burning platform. No doubt that's how many companies view the digital world.
For instance, big data (#1) has huge privacy implications (#2), as we've discussed in our take on how big data equals big risk. So do social media (#3), audience targeting (#5) and the growth of smartphones and tablets (#7).
Similarly, measuring digital campaigns (#6) is closely linked with smartphone and tablet growth (#7), multi-platform media planning and analysis (#8), real-time marketing insights (#9) and, of course, social media (#3).
The point is, one must take a holistic view of all the mega-drivers, big-picture trends and emerging tools and channels. Mastering the digital world requires an understanding of how all the elements fit together – not figuring out one item on the list and then moving on to the next.
That's one reason why we recommend companies chart a strategic course to digital success. Trend-chasing and extinguishing fires (or burning issues) are endless, but clearly articulated strategies that link the full range of digital programs to core objectives provide a lasting foundation for success.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Daniel Baer.
On June 10, 2013, the White House announced that President Obama has nominated Daniel Baer to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). If confirmed, Baer will be the fourth openly gay person to serve as U.S. Ambassador and the first to do so for a multilateral institution.
As Justin Snow reports in MetroWeekly, the President nominated Baer along with several other ambassadors. "These men and women have demonstrated knowledge and dedication throughout their careers. I am grateful they have chosen to take on these important roles, and I look forward to working with them in the months and years to come," he said.
Baer currently serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the Department of State. A graduate of Harvard University and Oxford University, he previously taught at Georgetown University and was a faculty fellow in the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University.
The OSCE is the world's largest international governmental organization with 57 participating countries focused on security issues, including crisis management and conflict prevention.
Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, hailed the choice of Baer. "Deputy Assistant Secretary Baer has led a distinguished career of public service, both at home and abroad," Griffin said. "Over the last few years at the Department of State, Daniel has worked tirelessly to promote democracy and human rights in every corner of the globe, helping to secure and protect the freedoms of the world's most vulnerable communities. This, paired with his years of global business experience, makes him an outstanding choice to be our nation's next Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe."
The three previous openly gay U.S. Ambassadors are James C. Hormel, who was appointed Ambassador to Luxembourg by President Bill Clinton in 1999 in a "recess appointment" after the Senate refused to act on his 1997 nomination; Michael E. Guest, who was appointed Ambassador to Romania by President George W. Bush in 2001; and David Huebner, who was appointed Ambassador to New Zealand by President Obama in 2009 and continues to serve in that capacity.
Al Kamen reports in Washington Post that President Obama is likely to appoint four more openly gay ambassadors to posts such as Australia, Spain, and Denmark.
In the video below, Daniel Baer discusses Internet Freedom at the Council of Europe.

Hunters and Gatherers bring soul rock sound to Corpus Christi
CORPUS CHRISTI - Abilene natives Hunters and Gatherers started out nursing a serious case of the small town blues.
Lucky for fans of Texas blues and rock that translates to good music.
The band will perform on Thursday at the Executive Surf Club.
The current Austin-based band will play songs from their 14-song debut album "Seasons," which is available online.
Formed haphazardly in Abilene, Hunters and Gatherers are the product of a music scene in need of musicians.
"The band didn't start on purpose. We went to a bar and the owner needed entertainment," said Bryce Powell, guitar player and keyboardist for the band. "Me and our vocalist Logan played and the bartender hired us on the spot and told us to find a drummer. We found our drummer, had one hour of practice and then started playing regularly."
It didn't long for the band to grow a following and find its sound.
"There's not a lot to do in Abilene. After playing every nook and cranny in town we became popular with the college-aged crowd. We started off knowing only five cover songs and we had to fill 45 minutes of the set with jamming, which became a big part of our sound," Powell said. "It's hard to play music in Texas without playing country and blues music. That sound seems to run through our veins."
After taking the leap and moving to Austin in pursuit of professional musical careers, the band mastered their original material in preparation for the debut album.
"There are so many musicians here in Austin and so little management and infrastructure. We spend so much time as a band booking and promoting but it's not a disadvantage because you have to put that hard work in anyway. Sure, you can be talented but to be successful it's the work that counts," Powell said.
What: Hunters and Gatherers blues-rock band
Where: Executive Surf Club, 309 N. Water St.
When: 8 p.m. Thursday
