The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere.
Stars (except for the Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky; as their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions (light is bent when it hits a change in density - like a pocket of cold air or hot air). This random refraction results in the star winking out (it looks as though the star moves a bit, and our eye interprets this as twinkling).
Stars closer to the horizon appear to twinkle more than stars that are overhead - this is because the light of stars near the horizon has to travel through more air than the light of stars overhead and so is subject to more refraction. Also, planets do not usually twinkle, because they are so close to us; they appear big enough that the twinkling is not noticeable (except when the air is extremely turbulent).
Stars would not appear to twinkle if we viewed them from outer space (or from a planet/moon that didn't have an atmosphere).

Public Testimony Before 9/11 Panel
Published: March 24, 2004
(Page 68 of 68)
ARMITAGE: But on the question of Pakistan, we did give them a black and white choice, I mean, no question about it, and gave them one day to think about it. But I don't think they could have even come to the decision if there hadn't been some preparatory diplomatic work by the president of the United States, who had communicated at least twice with President Musharraf, and the secretary of state, who was also developing a relationship with him and his foreign minister at the time, Foreign Minister Sattar, as well as by others in our department who were traveling back and forth. So the ability to say yes by Pakistan I think was to some degree, and you can put whatever percentage on it you want, a function of the diplomacy and the credibility that the president and his administration had shown to the Pakistanis that we would stick with them this time. One of their major gripes was that we used them and pitched them as soon as the Soviet war was over. And they don't want to be a Dixie cup. And so I think that to a certain extent, that seven or eight months of diplomacy that went into Pakistan made it easier for them to say yes with conditions.
GORTON: And perhaps one other commentary. There was a very serious attempt, Dick Clarke expressed his frustration sometimes that there was no action, to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden, more than Al Qaida as a whole, for an extended period of time. And in retrospect, I take it that's been a lot more difficult task. We haven't been able to find bin Laden at this point after two years-plus in Afghanistan on the ground. MORE
GORTON: And so I suppose it's probably accurate to say that the chances of finding him with a cruise missile or with any of the less invasive ways than we actually engaged in was going to be extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible?
ARMITAGE: Yes, sir.
GORTON: Thank you.
ARMITAGE: I agree with that.
KEAN: Commissioner Gorelick?
GORELICK: Mr. Secretary, I have just a few additional questions. You indicated that in the NSPD-9 that was the subject of the September 4th meeting that there was a strong mention of the Cole in it. I think that's what you said. I don't mean to put words in your mouth if that's not what you said. But in any event, there was no response to the Cole in it.
ARMITAGE: No, the response came after the 9/11, and it was wrapped in our activities in NSPD-9 after 9/11, which the president finally signed, wrapped in. So I might have misspoken on this.
GORELICK: Well, I think you were trying to say -- well, let's not have me talk about what you were trying to say.
ARMITAGE: I need the help.
GORELICK: As of September -- you need help. We all need help. It's very late in the day. As of September 4th, the steps contemplated, warning the Taliban, pressuring the Taliban, et cetera, there was no military or other forceful response to the Cole in that, as of September 4th. Is that correct?
ARMITAGE: There were contingency plans, but they're not specific to the Cole.
GORELICK: And they were way down the line. They got -- the third stage got -- became the first stage after 9/11, but they were not the first stage as contemplated on September 4th. In addition to -- and I don't mean to seem fixated on this, but it just kind of sticks in my craw. In addition to saying to The Washington Post and to Russert and other news shows that the policy that was being developed in the spring marshalled military might against Al Qaida and the Taliban, which it did not do, Dr. Rice also says that because 16 of 19 hijackers were here as of June 2001, nothing that could have been done that spring would have made a difference. The hijackers almost certainly, she says, would have carried out their plan. I would note that of the four -- that 18 of the 19, including three of the four pilots, came to this country after April. So it depends on what date you choose. And others -- three of the four pilots came in after June.
GORELICK: So while it is true that I have said, Why didn't you act on these urgent matters while you were doing the policy? I'm not somebody who loves meetings for meetings. But my question is: In retrospect, don't you think that there were actions you could have taken prior to 9/11 on an urgent basis to try to address the very high level of threat that you were seeing?
ARMITAGE: Given all that we know now, anyone who wouldn't say yes would be wrong. So obviously, the answer has to be yes, we've found out these characters were down in San Diego. If we had have known about, that that would have done something. You heard Mr. Clarke earlier say he hoped he could have connected the dots had he known all those things. But we didn't. An so that's where we are and the chips will fall where they may. On the question of meetings: I don't think that the significance of the director's meeting with the president almost every day, personally directly, and the principals having a phone call every day in which they discussed not only intelligence, but any impending policy issues, that that is a new way of doing business. Now, you'll say, Oh, the telephone calls, everyone makes call -- not in a consistent way with the purpose of talking about what went on, or what's going on that day, or the intelligence they've all just read because they had the CIA briefers in. I'm not going to go quarrel with you on the question of meetings at all. But meetings alone don't accomplish much. There were a lot of things that went on in this administration in the beginning that had been -- weren't the fault of Clinton administration, they weren't the fault any of specific administration -- but a lot had atrophied and a lot of old think was still around, and had been around for successive administrations, and all that had to be cleared out.
(UNKNOWN): Just a correction for the record: I believe that all of the pilots were in the country by the 1st of January and all of the muscle by June.
GORELICK: Three of them went out and came back in in the spring. We have that...
(UNKNOWN): They had arrived. Some went in and out. But they were...
GORELICK: They came back again is the point I was trying to make...
(UNKNOWN): They were coming in and out.
GORELICK: The record is what it is. Again, I very much appreciate your testimony. You are not Condi Rice, but you have been very helpful to us nevertheless. Thank you.
KEAN: Mr. Secretary, thank you very much. We hope we can ask you perhaps more questions for the record as time goes on before we finish. I thank you and all those who have testified before us today and the public who's taken the trouble to attend. This now concludes our hearing. We hold our next hearing in Washington, D.C., April 13th and 14th when the commission will focus on law enforcement and the issue of intelligence. Adjourned.

Melinda Taylor, "Austin, Travis County, U.S. Fish and Wildlife face litigation over endangered species protection" (Austin American Statesman)
In a August 9, 2010 article about endangered species protection in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, the Austin American-Statesman quotes Melinda Taylor on the potential impact of a planned environmental lawsuit against government officials.
"The challenge by the environmental groups has legs, said Melinda Taylor, executive director of the Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration and Environmental Law at the University of Texas. She also represented the Travis Audubon Society during negotiations to create the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.
"'Do we want to blow up the Balcones (plan) in this region? I would suggest not. But if it results in positive pressure on the government to complete (the preserve and the refuge), that's a good outcome,' Taylor said. 'But I don't think we want to go back to the days of fighting over a single permit, making it hard to make conservation happen on any meaningful scale."'

Finally, on December 4, Peter will present at the Vermont Tax Seminar in Burlington Vermont.
More Client Testimonials:
Newly married in our 60's, we were referred to Peter by our attorney, who was structuring our trust and other legal documents. From the first call we found Peter to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very engaging. Once we talked about our plans for the future and answered his questionnaire, he prepared seven different scenarios on how we might optimize our social security distributions. It was easy to pick the plan that best fit what we needed. My wife said: "This may be the best money we have ever spent!"
We highly recommend "The Maven" to anyone looking to decipher their way thru all the nuances of Social Security.
Fritz and Joan Hirchert, Virginia Beach, VA
After being very impressed with an information session he conducted through our local Credit Union, we came into our meeting with Peter pretty certain about what we wanted to do (my husband took Social Security just shy of turning 70, but I'm younger and wanted to look at taking it at 62). Peter did what a really good consultant does and re-framed the question for us: what were our goals and what was important to us? How much would we need to live on over the long term? What were all the sources in addition to or in place of Social Security we could draw upon to reach our goals? He also presented a couple of options and scenarios we hadn't even considered and hadn't been aware of. Although we may end up making the same decision we thought of initially, we'll do so from a much stronger base of information and analysis thanks to the thought-provoking questions Peter raised with us. I'd certainly recommend starting with him when you think through your Social Security options.
Roberta Harold, Montpelier, VT
For many years I have known Peter as a very accomplished estate planning attorney who has worked on many sophisticated and elaborate strategies to maximize retirement savings and income. When I heard he was now focusing on Social Security I was intrigued because that seems so simple compared to what he had been doing.
Turns out, it's just not that simple. In fact, it's surprisingly complicated, but Peter is very clear and thorough, and has developed his usual deep insights into the many nuances of the program. We had him take a look at our situation and he was remarkably helpful in describing several strategies we should consider to optimize our decisions about when and how each of us should take our Social Security benefits.
He customizes his work to your specific circumstances and his insights will help you make the most appropriate decision for your family. He doesn't waste any time either so I found the process refreshingly simple yet impactful.
I highly recommend Peter to anyone approaching Social Security retirement age.

What is this about? Who is it for? What do you want to communicate?
July 18th, 2010 #3
These don't make sense. The first one has several unrelated elements on seperate parts of the page, with no clear message.
July 18th, 2010 #4
The first one was for a challenge to communicate your interests through design. In my case it was mathematics, coke, sci fi and pretty flourishes
The second one I imagined as a graphic for a game, called vice
July 18th, 2010 #5
I don't have any complaints about the first one. I like the second one more. I just think you should sketch the character, instead of using a filter that's supposed to look like you did. Trace if need be. The imagery is great, but it stinks of filter.
July 18th, 2010 #6
Yeah, I shouldn't have been lazy and used a filter, thanks for the feedback

I'm definitely not calling you lazy. I'm just encouraging you to use your illustration skills. You are using a feature intended for people without the privilege of drawing ability. You have the talent, so put it to good use.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by tatumgulyas too bad they are so cute I love these sandals but this is my second pair that has broke within the first hour of wearing, the zipper broke on the back and stitching came undone,extremely poor quality 8.15.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by lucijavukovic :( unfortunatelly, these so good looking shoes are terribly made - the zipper was broken after first day of wearing and some iron pieces started to come out of the soles... i will take them to the shoerepairer, but it will make their price even higher, for so low quality :( dissapointed... 7.15.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by janelleruss Things Fall Apart The thick thread at the front corners of the sandals gets very loose and eventually comes completely out of the leather, making the sandals unwearable. The small zipper shield in the back of the sandal, sometimes prevents you from zipping the sandal up. I loved them, but they weren't made well. 6.18.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by caitxor tragic i loved this shoes, got them in black and was obsessed that was until i wore them for all of one hour. the zipper on both shoes came off the tracks the first day i wore them and the leather is just falling apart. I'm going to bring them to the cobbler and see if there is anything he can do but i think this purchase was a serious waste. 5.8.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by shakedwn72 super cute i really like these sandals but i hope i can keep them. kinda hurt my foot where the big wide strap is by my toes. going to wear them around the house and see if they stretch. hope so cuz they r super cute! they fit true to size too. 5.6.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by kingerymadison Adorable but Poorly Made These sandals are absolutely gorgeous in person and very flattering on the foot. However, they are poorly made and after wearing them for the first time the stitching that held together the two leather flaps on the front came out, on both sandals, and the zipper in the back came off the tracks of one of the sandals.... I was able to wiggle the zipper back into place and I think the stitching can be fixed fairly easily -I would return them, but I think I would have the exact same problem as the stitch is just not strong enough to hold the leather flaps together, it should have been reinforced by the maker, one tiny stitch on either side is not going to keep a shoe together when it is being worn and walked around in. That being said - they are still pretty amazing looking, and super comfortable, just beware that you might have to do some hand sewing yourself to keep them in one piece. 4.29.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by littlehippiegirl1989 just ehh I was so excited to get these sandals in. I've been needing new black sandals since last summer but these did nothing for me. I really did try to make them work but I just couldn't. First off they run a bit big. I got a size 7 and they were too lose on my feet. Yes they have adjustments but I wasn't crazy about them. Second is the style. The front of the sandal comes up too high and ends up cutting off your leg in an unflattering way making it appear shorter than what it actually is. Or at least that was my experience. I think if you have super thin legs it will look better. So the search for the perfect black sandal continues. 4.29.2014

Ok thanks a lot jbloggs!
If your GH:A is not NTSC-U then do not update as it will brick your wii. If it is NTSC-U then it shouldn't be asking for update if you already updated to 3.3U.
Ok thanks a lot jbloggs!
Hi, im getting the 001 error on my pal wii on 3.1e with a pal backup, i have a wiifree installed, i know it is an old chip and it needs replacing, but does ne1 know if there is a ppf patch out for this like there was for super mario galaxy?
any help appreciated
It could be just a bad media issue, bad burn or bad iso. Also you might want to try to update wii to 3.2E (not 3.3). I don't know what you mean by "its an old chip", what is the modchip that you have installed and what is the wii drive type of your wii (e.g. D2C)?
the media im using is not the issue i can assure you, what i mean by its an old chip is that its a wiifree which is no longer supported so it cant be updated, the wii is a d2b, iv had this issue b4 with SMG, mario kart and boom blox but got around the issue with ppf patches that others have created on the net, iv been looking for a similar patch for this game but cant find one, any suggestions ne1?
Hmm, sorry don't really know about a ppf patch, the only other thing to consider is to get a newer modchip with support.
yeah it looks like thats the only way really, especially in the long term, thanx for the help anyway, much appreciated

You knew this string of last-second comebacks by the Patriots was going to end sometime, and it finally did Sunday.
After the Pats had fallen behind on a 14-yard, Ryan Tannehill-to-Marcus Thigpen touchdown pass with 1:21 to play, Tom Brady -- attempting to engineer New England's fourth consecutive pull-it-out-at-the-end victory -- drove them from their own 20-yard line to the Dolphins 14 with 27 seconds left. But that's where it ended; the Pats were unable to punch it in from there and fell to Miami, 24-20.
The loss prevented New England, now 10-4, from clinching the AFC East title and, more importantly, pushed the Patriots out of the top seed in the AFC playoffs. They fell back to a game behind the Broncos, who are 11-3. Cincinnati lost as well Sunday night, which means the Patriots avoided dropping to No. 3 in the overall standings. Dropping to that position would mean no first-round bye and force them onto the road for the second and, probably, third rounds.
The frustration was evident on the New England side. Brady took no questions in his barely-longer-than-a-minute stay at the podium for his postgame press conference, dropped a profanity on live television, then stalked off. Bill Belichick, taciturn in the best of times, was only slightly better (though he managed to keep his language suitable for family viewing).
And it's easy to see why. The Pats had the statistical edge in this one -- more first downs (29-20), more net yards (453-378), more time of possession (31:21 to 28:39) -- but, as has happened so often since they won their last Super Bowl, were unable to protect a lead in the closing minutes. There were also several individual breakdowns, among them . . .
-- Stephen Gostkowski missing a 48-yard field goal in the third quarter -- had he hit it, the Pats only would have needed a field goal off their final drive -- and also kicking the ball out of bounds after the Pats had moved in front, 20-17, in the fourth quarter, setting up the Dolphins at their own 40 and giving them a shorter field to drive for their game-winning TD.
-- The Pats' defense, after a Sealver Silga sack of Tannehill had put Miami in a 3rd-and-16 hole at its own 34 with about 3 1/2 minutes left while trailing 20-17, gave up an 11-yard pass from Tannehill to Brian Hartline to set up a 4th-and-5, then allowed a six-yard screen from Tannehill to Charles Clay -- Clay's only reception of the game -- for a first down that kept the game-winning drive alive.
-- On the Pats' last drive, Danny Amendola was unable to hang onto the potential game-winning TD with a leap in the end zone. "I'd like to have that one back," he admitted.
-- Perhaps most importantly, the Rob Gronkowski-less offense struggled in the red zone as much as everyone feared. The Pats went only 1-for-4 once they got inside the 20 (the Dolphins, by contrast, were 2-for-3), and had to settle for field goals after drives of 15 and 16 yards. Those lost points proved to be the difference.
Their one success in the red zone came at the end of the first half. After they'd gotten a 22-yard Gostkowski field goal after their first long drive -- and after the Dolphins flubbed a 41-yard attempt to tie the game when the snap came too early and hit the holder in the helmet -- they cashed in on a 13-yard, third-down pass from Brady to Michael Hoomanawanui, who made a leaping catch in the end zone, for a 10-0 lead with 1:45 left.
But Dolphins coach Joe Philbin used his time outs during that drive to get his offense back on the field before halftime and, in a foreshadowing of what was to come, Tannehill marched Miami 82 yards in 8 plays for a touchdown that cut the lead to 10-7. Michael Wallace scored when he caught a pass on a slant pattern, broke an attempted tackle from Marquice Cole and outraced Steve Gregory (who had a bad angle on the play) to the end zone, a 39-yard catch-and-throw.
Miami tied it in the third quarter on a 32-yard Caleb Sturgis field goal, then went ahead when Daniel Thomas caught a two-yard scoring pass from Tannehill on the first play of the fourth quarter, capping a 10-play, 66-yard drive. The Patriots got to within 17-13 on a 23-yard field goal by Gostkowski after they'd failed to score from the 5 at the end of a 15-play drive, and then went ahead when Brady marched them 73 yards in only six plays, capped by a 24-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman with 4:14 to play for a 20-17 lead.
The lead lasted for about three minutes, which is when Tannehill hooked up with Thigpen -- who torched Dont'a Hightower on the pass route -- for the go-ahead score.
Brady -- throwing 13 times as he worked against the Dolphins' injury-depleted secondary -- moved the Pats from their own 20 with 1:15 remaining to the Miami 14 with 27 seconds left. But he threw three consecutive incompletions before Miami defensive back Michael Thomas, playing his first NFL game, sealed the third consecutive victory for the Dolphins (8-6) by intercepting a pass in the end zone on fourth down.
While the loss was damaging to their seeding in the AFC playoffs, it's still going to be almost impossible for the Pats not to win the division. They lead Miami by two games with two to play, and one more victory (or one more Dolphin defeat) will seal it for them.
On Sunday, though, they didn't play like champions. As Belichick and -- especially -- Brady are well aware.

Marvin Harris uses his wit and humor to make a book of great importance easy to read. He takes us on a journey from the caves to capitalism and fills us in on how and why societies differed. He talks about how cannibalism, female infanticide, war, patriarchy, and capitalism arose in various areas. He shows how adaptation to population pressure shaped the way a society developed, and how the local ecology played a major role in making societies different. He takes us right up to contemporary times, where he shows us that we have to adapt to our population explosion by intensifying our technology.
A warning though, this book can scare you. After reading how population explosion and intensification lead to massive changes in society, you are left to wonder where we are headed. If you have read Malthus's 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' and Toffler's 'Future Shock' the effect hits harder. You really begin to see the 'big picture' and realize that our current pace of change can't hold.
This book also gives you a hint that the idea of a four-day workweek is just a pipe dream. As our population continues to grow, we will have to spend more time feeding and caring for it. It turns out that primitive humans have had the most leisure time of all of us.
Mainly Harris is marvelously satirical. The narrative sparkles with put downs of religiosity or any sort of sanctimonious BS. Harris pronounces from on high, however. He seems to believe that his speculations about how or why something happened are almost certainly going to be supported by the evidence (when the field work catches up with his theories!) He was the author that showed me that the prohibition against eating pork in the Middle East and beef in India was based not so much on religious scruples but on economic self-interest dressed up as prohibitions from the gods. In this book Harris leads me to believe that all human taboos even those against murder may be culturally derived, rather than instinctively based. The horror stories that he focuses on here, especially about the Aztec cannibals, seem to prove that if we want protein enough and can't get it, we will as a people set up a religion that makes it sacred to kill whatever is available, including prisoners of war, as the Aztecs did, to get that protein; after which, we will rationalize our actions as injunctions from the gods.
By the way, cows are sacred in India because if you kill your cow and eat it during the drought, you will have no cow to plow the land when the rains return and you will never be able to plow the land again. The cow (and ox of course) are doubly valuable because they eat grasses and weeds and other vegetable matter that we cannot digest. Consequently cattle and other ruminants increase our wealth by turning otherwise unavailable sun energy into protein and calories, or into energy to pull wagons and plows, etc. Other animals, pigs and dogs, chickens and turkeys, who eat some of the same things we do, are less valuable in this sense.
If you've never read Marvin Harris, do yourself a favor and buy this book. It's fascinating and reads as fast as a thriller.

Take the case of the militiaman supposedly portrayed by Robert Capa when he's hit by enemy fire. If the situation is portrayed (re-created) then I understand the claim of dishonesty.
But in a posed portrait - as this is the case - I don't understand where is the re-creation. Re-creation of what, I mean?
The picture belongs to a reportage distributed by Magnum, a "portfolio" of images about a certain subject, with some background information. You see this kind of set situations (portraying real situations, but set at the moment of portraying) in any documentary.
Do you think the eagle really captures the rabbit naturally and the camera happens to be there? The rabbit is probably tied to a rope, it is freed when the eagle is hunting for prey, the scene is taken with favourable light, if the rabbit runs in the wrong direction the action is repeated. But this is not even that case.
This is the case where you go to a certain place in Albania and in order to illustrate that there is a lot of criminality and people have weapons you ask an Albanian to make a portrait with his Kalashnikov for you.
I'm sure you have seen many portraits of this kind. It's all very normal in the industry.

Wyoming Geological Survey Releases New Oil and Gas Map
A comprehensive new map on oil and natural gas resources in Wyoming covers a range of information – from the geology to key facilities and production. The map released today by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) covers oil and gas extractive activities across the state, and is part of the agency's professional map series.
"This map demonstrates our role in mapping energy resources that are used to provide for our state and the nation's energy needs," said Tom Drean, director of the WSGS. "Our scientists and GIS specialists produce these maps so everyone from industry leaders to policy makers can see with one source all the critical information they would need on oil and gas resources and production in Wyoming."
The map is available to download (free of charge) via the WSGS website at www.wsgs.wyo.gov/Research/Energy/MS-55.aspx. Printed copies (1:500,000 scale map) as well as a DVD version are available for purchase via the Online Store.
Using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, the map was generated to illustrate a compilation of information. It includes the boundaries of producing and abandoned oil and gas fields in Wyoming, producing (or produced) formations, dominate age of reservoir rocks, field designations, pipeline sizes and locations, refinery and gas plant locations and capacities, basin locations, as well as illustrates the extent of oil shale-bearing rocks.
Oil and natural gas geologist, Rod De Bruin is author of the map with cartographic assistance from GIS specialist Phyllis Ranz.
"Over the years the Oil and Gas Map has been in high demand and is used by industry, researchers, policy makers and the general public," De Bruin said. "It has been interesting to watch Wyoming's oil and gas production as the map has evolved over the years," he said. Currently, Wyoming is the second leading producer of natural gas and the seventh of oil in the nation. Nearly all of the state's oil and gas is exported via pipeline and also offers a convenient fuel for on-site use.
Data for the map came from previously published WSGS materials on oil and natural gas resources in Wyoming. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission provided information on the wells, and pipeline data from the Wyoming Pipeline Authority (WPA) was used for some of the updates.
The map is available as a 42"x 66" print or DVD. The DVD contains GIS files, map images, and installation software for viewing the map. Updated pipeline information was generalized by the WSGS for the 1:500,000 scale map and is not included on the DVD version. Current electronic pipeline data can be purchased directly by contacting the WPA.
WSGS' collection of individual oil and gas maps, at a scale of 1:350,000, have also been updated and are available via the Online Store. These include the Powder River Basin (MS-51), Greater Green River Basin and Overthrust Belt of southwestern Wyoming (MS-52), central and northwestern Wyoming basins (mainly Bighorn and Wind River basins) (MS-53), and southeastern Wyoming basins (Denver, Laramie, eastern Hanna) (MS-54).
The 2012 Oil and Gas Map of Wyoming (MS-55) can be purchased via the Internet (Online Store), by calling (307) 766-2286, ex. 224, or visiting the WSGS on the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie.

- Aurora theater shooting trial could strain limits of jury service
- Jury selection will play key role in theater shooting trial outcome
The Federal Bureau of Investigation created a large-scale model of the Aurora movie theater shooting scene, but defense attorneys say the model should not be allowed to be used at trial because it was damaged during shipping.
According to a defense motion filed Friday, the model reconstructs the scene inside Century Aurora 16's theater 9 and a portion of the adjoining theater 8, where all of the shooting victims were hit. It took the FBI two months to build, according to the defense motion.
But, during shipping earlier this year, the model was damaged and later repaired with parts bought at Home Depot, according to the motion. Defense attorneys argue that makes the model too unreliable to allow the prosecution to use it at trial.
"Details inside theater nine were no longer to scale and minor areas no longer lined up," the defense motion states.
Prosecutors have not said whether they actually intend to use the model at James Holmes' trial, which is scheduled to start in October with jury selection.

Lanxess, the market leader in synthetic rubber, expects to benefit greatly from the transition toward greater sustainability in the global tire industry, particularly in China, the world's biggest car manufacturer. The trend involves greater use of energy-saving "green tires" and a gradual switch to radial tires.

Which Dancer Got Eliminated in Week 5 of 'Dancing'?
This week was a tough one, as one of the early front-runners continued to struggle and even tied for the lowest judges' marks of the week. But it was a three way tie between Ralph Macchio, Petra Nemcova and Kendra Wilkinson. With 22 points for each of them, Kirstie Alley was only one point higher, which means that popular vote from America was more important than ever.
Would Kendra finally pay for getting consistently lower marks, or would America turn on Alleyjust as she turned in an error-free performance? Both Nemcova and Macchio have had the highest marks in previous weeks. Would that be enough to get them a pass?
Unfortunately for Nemcova, despite tying for the highest marks two weeks ago, she just didn't have the support from America to overcome her lower scores this week.
"It's been [a] life-changing journey for me," Petra said. "I met amazing friends."
"I'm really proud of Petra, because she has come such a long way," said her partner Dmitry Chaplin.
Unfortunately, her journey on America's stage has come to an end.

Petra really appears to be a very sweet person. I still think Kendra should have been the one to go home. Hines is awesome and Romeo is doing a fabulous job. I will miss "the Ukranian Hunk" when Kirstie finally goes home, which I think is probably soon. Chris also has done a great job. I think Chelsea might win.

Radisson owner asks Village Board to move forward
Heyden says he wants to stay involved in hotel operations
Menomonee Falls - James Heyden, a principal owner in the Menomonee Falls Radisson Hotel, made a plea to the Village Board on Monday to help resolve issues all surrounding the management and finances of the hotel once and for all.
Heyden said he purchased the hotel in 2003 and worked with the village in the creation of a tax incremental finance district that the hotel is located in on Main Street. Heyden's plea came after Village Attorney Randall Crocker gave an announcement at the Nov. 19 board meeting, where he and trustees vowed to keep the hotel open.
The hotel has been at the center of litigation during the past year after the village provided a $17.65 million loan to the owner Lodging Investors LLC, which did not make its first two debt payments. As a result, the village filed a foreclosure suit in summer. A court-appointed receiver, Seth Dizard, has been in charge of hotel operations and monitoring finances during the past year.
Heyden said he could not comment on any litigation he is also involved in regarding the hotel. He did say, however, that he "took in some partners in the project that have caused major problems."
"Today, those partners are gone, some have not come even come to the site in the last year and a half and couldn't care less about the project," he said.
For all intents and purposes, Heyden said he is the last owner standing in the group and is working with Crocker over hotel management and finance issues. Crocker could not be reached for comment before NOW's press deadline.
Heyden said new opportunities have arisen to move the hotel forward.
"I would urge the Village Board to select a member to sit in on the ongoing negotiations and get the hotel issue resolved," he said. "I feel with my continued principal effort, it will make this hotel asset a success that is achieved only by a concerned owner's 24/7 interest and effort."
The Village Board could not comment on Heyden's statements Monday because he spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting.

John Clay of the Lexington Herald-leader has a nice commentary on Bruce in today's paper.
John Clay of the Lexington Herald-leader has a nice commentary on Bruce in today's paper.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I'll tell you what, after seeing Bruce for myself, I'm sure going to take minor league stats and scouting reports with a grain of salt. I expected to see a Brandon Phillips type free swinger who had no idea of the strike zone and we'd have to stomach a lot of strike outs. Instead I've seen a guy who has taken a lot of close pitches and has racked up the walks without the strike outs.
The minor league reports on Votto's defense being shaky were erroneous too IMO. Just goes to show there's no substitute for eye to eye scouting.
I still think Votto's defense is shakey, but he's working hard on it (according to reports the last 2 seasons anyways) and is seemingly improving. He's athletic enough to become an above average defender.
The word on Bruce, according to dougdirt anyways, is that while Bruce's walk numbers we low it wasn't because he was a free swinger, but rather, Jay would patiently wait for his pitch, then he'd take that pitch and drill it for either a hit or an out. In the minors, I imagine most pitchers are not going to pitch around a Jay Bruce like talent. They'd want to see how they measure up and throw him their best stuff, challenging him.
So far, from what I've seen, dougdirt's assertation has held true. Jay makes more "hard" outs than anyone I've seen in a long time, especially somebody so young. Even better, Votto seems to be cut from the same cloth. Could be a good 5 year run in the Nati'

Salam Walekum, I had initially started drafting up posts on my two part series on Itikaaf but I got numerous replies to the Surah Al-Qadr – The Night of Decree post asking different questions, so i decided to postpone the Itikaaf post as to be able to answer a few of these questions. It would also be two part series as one of the questions (How to prepare and benefit from Laylatul Qadr) in my opinion deserves a whole post to itself. So make sure you do not miss the posts over the next couple of days.
- When did Allah revealed the Qur'an?
To answer this question, all you need is your Quran and we are so lucky to have Qurans with indexes, glossories and appendixes which makes searching of particular subject matter rather easier than it used to be. I would highlight a couple of ayahs from various Surahs. In these ayahs of the Quran are the answers to this questions as well as answers to every question man can think of, such is the beauty and relevance of the Glorious Quran.
"By the manifest Book (this Qur'an) that makes things clear,"
"We sent it down on a blessed night. Verily, We are ever warning." (Q 44 V1-3)
"The month of Ramadan in which was revealed Qur'an;" (Q2 V185)
"Verily, We have sent it down in the 'Night of Al-Qadr'." (Q97 V1)
Hence, we can come to the conclusion that the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed (SAW) in Ramadan on the blessed night of Laylatul Qadr.
- The Virtues of Laylatul Qadr
We all know the importance of this night and how much we should all strive to partake in it. My last post answers this question perfectly so i would suggest a detailed read of that post – Surah Al-Qadr – The Night of Decree. Never the less, i would go through a couple of points to summarize it:
Worship during the Laylatul Qadr is equivalent to worship performed for a period of 1000 months.
Angels descend in abundance during the Laylatul Qadr due to its abundant blessings and mercy, just as they descend when the Qur'an is recited.
There is peace. The angels give the greetings of peace during the Laylatul Qadr to the people until coming of the dawn. It is security in which Shaytan cannot do any evil or any harm.
- Are All Matters Decreed on the Night of Laylatul Qadr?
If we go through any Quran, Surah Al-Qadr is most likely translated to English as the Night of Decree, this translation almost answers the question but to put the answer beyond any doubt, i will provide two ayahs from Surah Ad-Dukham from which we had earlier used 3 ayahs to prove when the Quran was revealed. The next two ayahs will strike home only if you read the previous three ayahs as provided above (Q44 V1-3)
"Therein is decreed every matter of ordainments on the night of Al-Qadr,"
"As a command from Us. Verily, We are ever sending." (Q44 V4-5)
The matters are determined during this night, and the times of death and provisions are measured out during it. All the matters of ordainments for the matters of deaths, births, provisions, calamities and basically every detail in the world as we know it, for the whole coming year as decreed by Allah are put forward on this blessed night and handed over to the angels to be put into effect, as a command from Allah, the Almighty. Indeed, what a blessed and powerful night it is! As with alot of topics in Islam, there aare few muslims who believe that the Night of Decree is not on this date but on the 14th or 15th night of Shaban (the month before Ramadan). This is a sad trend as such muslims disregard the very ayahs quoted above. This act has no backing from the Quran or any Hadith and we should not take part in it.
- Are All Sins Forgiving on the Night of Laylatul Qadr?
The Night of Laylatul Qadr is a wonderful opportunity for Muslims to ask Allah for His mercy and forgiveness, for repentance and getting his/her sins forgiven. The following hadith confirms this:
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever observed Saum (fast) in the month of Ramadan with sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the Salat in the Night of Qadr with sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be forgiven."- (Hadith No. 2014, Book of Superiority of the 'Night of Qadr', Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 3)
We shall tomorrow answer a few more questions Insha Allah then move on to the importance of Itikaaf. Ma Salam. Please read my other posts and share the blog. Also subscribe for email alerts of new posts as i post daily. May Allah bless and reward you as you do so.

"Maya has by far done the best training job of anyone I've met to date. Usually I'm stuck with people at an extreme end of the knowledge spectrum…they either know the software very well, or have vast industry knowledge that they don't know how to properly communicate. Many times if I take the trainer off their script/slideshow, they can't properly address my question…. and I realize I constantly ask questions outside of what is being presented. That wasn't a problem when I was at Maya though; they nailed every question and related everything to real life/industry in a perfect way.""

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apparently mistletoe, chocolates, and flowers are the not-so-secret ingredients in the magic potion leading people down the path to love. Jokes and pranks, however, will get folks nowhere with their sweeties. Facebook analyzed 2010 and 2011 relationship status data in the U.S. and found that far more hookups than breakups happen on Valentine's Day and Christmas. 49 percent more relationships are started than ended on February 14, and 34 percent more get going when Santa comes to town. Statistically, December is a strong month for coupling up as four percent more people enter relationships than leave them, Facebook determined. The same can't be said of the summer months, when higher percentages of people break up rather than take up together across all age groups. But no day is more polarizing than April 2, otherwise known as the day after April Fool's Day. "April 2nd was the year's most extreme day in the other direction, with 11 percent more break-ups than new relationships," Facebook data scientists Jackson Gorham and Andrew T. Fiore said. Of course, the social network understands that not all Facebookers rush to update their statuses as soon as they enter into a new relationship or head to splits-ville, "but considering the relative levels of coupling and splitting up across days, months and seasons still helps us understand the temporal patterns of relationship change among people on Facebook," Gorham and Fiore explained. Facebook often dives into internal data pools to fish out interesting observations about its members and the world at large. The company previously determined that we're all only four degrees of separation (not six!) from Kevin Bacon on Facebook. Earth-shattering stuff, we know.
