Abstract: For a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold we show that can be completed to a -space in a universal way, which however is neither Hausdorff nor in general. Here is a connected Lie group with Lie-algebra . For a transitive -action the completion is of the form for a Lie subgroup which need not be closed. In general the completion can be constructed by completing each -orbit.

Still in the early stages of learning Java and I saw the following in some code which I did not understand:
public class sprite {
private Image image;
public Sprite(Image image) {
this.image = image;
I'm not asking for an explanation of what the code is doing, I'm just curious what "public Sprite(..." is. Is it some kind of method? It doesn't declare a return type and it's not void.
Thanks for any responses. An actually explaination of what the code is really doing might be over my head I just want to know about the language construct.

By Annette Hinkle
You'd think that with an Academy Award, a Pulitzer Prize, two Obies and a Guild Hall Lifetime Achievement Award under his belt (the latter occurring just last week), cartoonist/playwright/screenwriter/filmmaker Jules Feiffer wouldn't be afraid to try anything.
But you'd be wrong.
Up until last summer, Mr. Feiffer, who just turned 86, had never tackled the noir style comic, that genre of crime literature where tough talking detectives hook up with sassy dames who aren't quite on the level and together, they solve murders in bleak, black and white settings.
It's a genre Mr. Feiffer has loved since he was a child.
"So much of the American writing style comes out of the prose first introduced in magazines of the '30s and '40s — Dashiell Hammett and people like that," says Mr. Feiffer. "It's a period in terms of the work that never left me and I think in many ways never left society."
"It's amazing how it sticks," he adds. "Like 'Breaking Bad,' over and over it's the references to that time and that style. I just watched 'Better Call Saul,' and it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that genre."
Perhaps this resurgence of noir is what finally gave Mr. Feiffer, who lives in East Hampton and teaches humor writing at Stony Brook Southampton, the push he needed to write (and of course illustrate) "Kill My Mother," his first graphic novel. The book was published last August and, as you might expect, it comes with a twist — the detective is a hopeless screw up and it's the woman who gets him out of one jam after another.
"I thought I just don't want to do another tough good guy who speaks rough and gets beaten up and finds the killer in the end," explains Mr. Feiffer. "What if my private eye had the look and toughness and is incompetent — a drunk, a has been, over the hill?"
"So who saves his ass?" he asks. "It has to be the assistant — the Effie Perrine to Sam Spade."
In "Kill Your Mother," that woman is Elsie. Her husband, a cop, has been killed and she now works for the detective who was his best friend.
"Of course, she has to have a teenage daughter," adds Mr. Feiffer, "and all teenage daughters want to kill their parents. I know, I've been there. I have three daughters."
Currently, fans of noir comics in general and Jules Feiffer in particular have the opportunity to enjoy both at the Parrish Art Museum where the original artwork from "Kill My Mother" is on view — all 147 pages of it.
The exhibit, "Jules Feiffer: Kill My Mother" runs through April 26 as part of Parrish Perspectives, a new series in which the museum looks at a specific body of work by an artist in depth. As part of the exhibit, this Friday, Mr. Feiffer will be at the museum to talk about his work with museum director Terrie Sultan.
For Feiffer, seeing his illustrations on the walls of the Parrish was quite an eye opener.
"I went to the museum and they showed me the framed artwork and it staggered me," admits Mr. Feiffer. "I couldn't believe I did this – it looks like art. It's astonishing."
One thing viewers won't see in the original artwork is the words. That's because the speech balloons were added to the book digitally after the fact. So in order give viewers some guidance, Mr. Feiffer has added his own wall notes to explain the overarching plot of the novel.
Which leads to a natural question — for someone like Mr. Feiffer, who is adept at both writing and illustration, what came first with "Kill Your Mother," the words or the pictures?
"I wrote it the way you'd write a screenplay or comics," he explains. "Panel one describes the action and dialogue. A lot of comics are written by people who don't illustrate it. That's how I got it past the publisher and got an advance."
There are also two ways to write a story — particularly a mystery — front to back or back to front. Mr. Feiffer has done it both ways.
"I used to work back to front, but I found that boring after a while," he admits. "I wanted to be surprised like a member of the audience."
But with this book the real surprise, for Mr. Feiffer at least, came once the script was written and the illustrating began.
"The drawings refused to acknowledge the text. I was like a movie director who trashed the screenplay because it has its own ideas," he says. "As I began to visualize it on the page, certain lines or ways of setting up dialogue seemed wrong. At least half the book is rewritten. It's still the same story and characters do what they're supposed to do, but the way they talk and they act is different."
When the illustrated characters start telling Mr. Feiffer what to do, he knows he's on to something.
"Casting in a comic book is like casting actors," he adds. "When deciding how he or she should look, you're scribbling faces and bodies. How do they lean and walk? You look at it and say, 'Thank you… next.' Then I get another performer on the page until I find someone who could do the job."
"I deliberately don't think – I try not to use my brain and find a character and let them dictate to me," he says. "I'm the stenographer."
Though it sounds counterintuitive, not thinking is a skill Mr. Feiffer seeks to impress upon his writing students at Stony Brook Southampton.
"I talk about that a lot," he says. "Don't use your brain. It's the least effective aspect of your art. It should come from the gut. Follow orders and make mistakes. Nobody knows your screw ups and sometimes the screw ups lead to more interesting places."
Ultimately, those places are where the true magic is to be found — even if it's on a questionable street in bad neighborhood where everything is seen in shades of black and white, as is the case in "Kill Your Mother."
"In the end everything I do is words and pictures," offers Mr. Feiffer. "That's what the book is – and every page and panel is about story. Is the person saying the line prominent or is he the one hearing it? Expressions, body language, background, how will it reflect on the story? There's nothing in the book that is gratuitous and there just because it looks good."
But in fact, it does look good — especially hanging on the walls of the Parrish Art Museum. So now that he has successfully competed his first graphic novel (and gotten an art exhibit to boot), what can we expect next from Jules Feiffer?
"I have to finish the prequel for 'Kill Your Mother,'" explains Mr. Feiffer. "It took me more than half my lifetime to get to this form I loved as kid and I'm not giving it up. It's a combination of things I learned to do over the years — comics, playwrighting, screenwriting — and I put them all in a blender."
"I'm referencing from the time I was 10 to 15 – when you're 86 and go back to being 10, it's not bad," says Mr. Feiffer. "I'll be doing this the rest of life."
On Friday, March 20, at 6 p.m., Jules Feiffer joins Parrish Art Museum Director Terrie Sultan for a spirited conversation at the museum. Afterwards, Mr. Feiffer will sign copies of "Kill My Mother." Books are available for pre-purchase ($30) on the Parrish website and will be held at the visitors services desk for pre-purchasers on the day of the program. Also on view in Parrish Perspectives is "Robert Dash: Theme and Variations" and "Joe Zucker: Life & Times of an Orb Weaver."

Hacker exposes crucial Twitter data
Incident highlights vulnerability on Web
But Stone said that the attack "isn't about any flaw in Web apps," but rather about a bigger issue that affects individuals and businesses alike. "It speaks to the importance of following good personal security guidelines such as choosing strong passwords," he said.
Instead of circumventing security measures, it appears that the Twitter hacker managed to correctly answer the personal questions that Gmail asks of users to reset the password.
"A lot of the Twitter users are pretty much living their lives in public," said Chris King, director of product marketing at Palo Alto Networks, which creates firewalls. "If you broadcast all your details about what your dog's name is and what your hometown is, it's not that hard to figure out a password."
Security experts advise people to use unique, complex passwords for each Web service they use and include multiple characters and a mix of numbers and letters. Free password-management programs such as KeePass and 1Password can help people juggle passwords for numerous sites.
Andrew Storms, director of security operations for nCircle, a network security company, suggested choosing false answers to the security questions like "What was your first phone number?" or making up obscure questions instead of using the default questions that sites provide. (Of course, that presents a new problem of remembering the false information.)
For businesses, Google allows company administrators to set up rules for password strength and add additional authentication tools like unique codes.
The Twitter hacker claims to have wanted to teach people to be more careful. In a message to Korben, the hacker wrote that his attack could make Internet users "conscious that no one is protected on the Net."

Publisher's Description
A leading Christian intellectual explores the newest strain of atheism, its foremost thinkers, the cultural conditions that have bred it, and how Christians should respond.
Something has changed in American culture. What for years was a little-regarded belief system-atheism-has now gained a large, and increasing, national hearing through the writings of "new atheists" such as Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens.
Wanting to both inform and equip serious-minded Christians regarding this cultural shift, R. Albert Mohler Jr. explores the environment that has bred the "new atheism" while also introducing readers to the movement's four leading thinkers and the contours of their arguments. Mohler-deemed "the reigning intellectual of the evangelical movement in the US" by Time magazine-then uses this foundation to pinpoint eight major distinctives that make the new atheism new, and to discuss the future of Christianity in relationship to it.
At school and in the community, Christians are sure to encounter people who have been shaped by this strain of atheism. Here is keen insight that any believer can use to understand and challenge the new atheists.

Effusively complimenting actor Sushant Singh Rajput, critically acclaimed filmamker Dibakar Banerjee Tuesday backed his decision to cast him in the role of detective Byomkesh Bakshi.
"Among the new generation of actors, Sushant is promising. He never shows off his acting. It is very subtle and inherent. He is a very good actor," said the National Award-winning director during an interaction with media persons here.
The director is busy scouting for locations in the city for his forthcoming film "Detective Byomkesh Bakshi" that is slated to go on the floors in December.
The film is based on one of the 33 crime thrillers penned by famed Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay with ByomkeshBakshi as the protagonist between 1932 and 1970.
Featuring Sushant as the popular detective, the movie will be set in then Calcutta during the World War years in 1942.
Sushant, who made a stellar debut with "Kai Po Che!",will be seen as "an adventurous, young, fresh out of college and thriller-loving youth who wants to be a detective".
The actor had a successful stint with TV serials as the male lead Manav in "Pavitra Rishta".
"He is very natural, subtle and credit goes to him for efficiently portraying Manav.The second reason is he is modern andI wanted a young, vulnerable actor," said Banerjee.
"Sushant is the earlier Byomkesh (of 1930s). The Byomkesh that Bandyopadhayay wrote when he was young and adventurous. That is the new aspect that you will get," he added.

On tonight's "Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains" Benjamin "Coach" Wade became the ninth castaway voted out of the game. The episode began with the aftermath of the Villain's decision to vote out Boston Rob. Over on the Heroes tribe JT secretly went looking for the hidden immunity idol, but right when he found it Amanda spotted him. He was then forced to show the idol to everyone else and the tribe planned on using it against the Villains. At the bowling themed Reward Challenge the Heroes again beat the Villains earning themselves a pizza and beer feast. Back at the Villains camp Sandra devised a plan to persuade Russell to vote out Coach. Russell liked the idea but his alliance partner Danielle wanted to boot Courtney. At the Immunity Challenge the Heroes beat the Villains for the fourth time in a row. At tribal council Sandra's plan worked although Russell voted out Courtney and Danielle voted out Coach. Any way you slice it four votes were enough to get rid of Coach.
Here's Coach's Final Words...

Fume Fume: An encounter with a traditional dance from Ghana
April 13, 2015
4:00 -5:30 PM Africa Room
Presenter: Joseph Sheehan
Traditional music in Ghana often combines song, rhythm, and dance into an immersive, communal experience, shared by people of different ages, backgrounds, and musical abilities. In this experiential and informal presentation Dr. Sheehan will share a recreational dance from southern Ghana named Fume Fume. Be prepared to sing a song, perform rhythms, and try some dance movements! While learning the music, we will uncover relationships between movement, language, and rhythm; and see how the musical structure allows for creativity and flexibility. We will also discover a wonderful approach to performance practice that contrasts with many Western musical activities.
Faculty, staff, and graduate students are welcome to attend. Space is limited. Please RSVP by emailing Judi O'Brien at The Center for the Catholic Intellectual Tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Highly Recommended; Appealing on Many Levels,
R. Adam Young (Down East, MAINE (USA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Nurse's Story: Life, Death, and In-between in an Intensive Care Unit (Hardcover)
Initially purchased title, recommended by a collogue, to augment my clinical research on our medical care crisis, shortage and inadequacy of nursing care, high prescription costs, etc., here in Maine, vis a vis our Northern neighbors. Was hoping to find Ms. Shalof's work informative; but very pleasantly surprised to find it so very engrossing and moving, as well.
Must've feared receiving a dry recitation of facts and figures, with a few bare-bones character sketches sprinkled in. Hardly the case, fortunately. Quite detail-rich and filled with a myriad of fascinating characters, both care givers and patients. Confess I finished it, and it's not slim by any means, in 48 hours (my Inbox is now suffering for it!).
Must note, Tilda's work personalized the sometimes heroic challenges high-pressure, medical care practioners struggle with, particularly ICU; at the same time it opened a fascinating window on patient perspective I suspect could not've seen otherwise. Insight on quality of care issues, as well as the "essence" of the nursing experience, will certainly inform my project recommendations. Personally, intrigued by the Canadian nursing perspective -- which, as it turns out (least for this nurse) is not so unlike the best of ours here in the states.
Finally, must comment: top-notch writing! Don't usually lavish praise, but having just finished (for recreation) Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms," I found the unadonred, yet touching directness of her prose, esp. for a first-time author, to've stood up well; in particular, reminiscent of the emotional impact of Hemingway's Catherine in Childbirth scene. Must confess, found as entertaining as P.D. James' "Shroud for a Nightingale," too. Read this book! Won't disappoint on any level. Felt as almost knew author at end -- surely hope to see more from her -- and somehow witnessed her struggles and epiphanies, too. Not crossing the border anytime soon, but wouldn't mind shaking Tilda's hand (unless she'd just completed some messy, hands-on, life saving medical procedure, of course).

5.0 out of 5 stars A nurses review of the book,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Paperback)
Having worked in acute care for over 10 years, reading the book really brought things to home and related many experiences I have had over the years in nusring and why continue to be be a nurse. Tilda has a way with words that describes everything to a tee. A very accruacte heart felt, emapthetic book well worth the read, that at best i could not put down. Look forward to raeding more from Tilda.

onyxnox, crocheting fanatic (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Nurse's Story: Life, Death, and In-between in an Intensive Care Unit (Hardcover)
Well written, with humour and compassion. I work on a Medical unit and Step-Down Unit, in a downtown Toronto Hospital (across from the writers') and can strongly relate to her experiences.
Excellent read - she voices very well so much that I have felt and seen in my own experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Facing ethical dilemmas,
Mary J. Simpson (Oakville, ON CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Paperback)
I innocently started to read Tilda's book thinking I could read bits intermittently. Wrong! She is a magnificent story teller with wonderful characters - both nurses and patients. At this time in history with such a fine line between life and death her book gives compassionate and heart-rending details of the challenges of being a nurse in the impossibly high-pressure of an Intensive Care Unit in a Toronto hospital. As a retired nurse I found myself in awe of her ability to effectively function in the ICU environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Kindle Edition)
I have never felt so proud to be an ICU nurse as I did after reading this book! Tilda has an amazing way with words and her stories brought me to tears (laughing at her stories that remind me of my own experiences, as well as crying remembering the sad ones). This is one of the most honest, heartfelt books I have ever read. I could not put it down. I hope to read more from Tilda in the near future.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nurse's story,
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Paperback)
I like Tolda's style of writing and hope to read more of her books. I enjoyed reading what it was like when nurses were valued. It mentioned the Sars scare and I was in a Toronto hospital while that was going on. The book has a nice pace to it and I will be sharing it with friends
5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book,
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Paperback)
I love this book. I am a nursing student myself and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I have to say it's the fastest book I have read in a long time. I will be sharing this to my nursing colleagues.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is such a great book and is very well written,
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Paperback)
This is such a great book and is very well written. Tilda is able to paint a picture of what each happens in each chapter almost as if you were standing next to her.
4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Read,
This review is from: A Nurse's Story (Kindle Edition)

eForce 6200 LE Issue
Afternoon - I believe that I have an issue with a new eForce 6200 LE (AGP), and I'm not sure how to resolve it (short of getting a new card)
It runs great 99% of the time. But, once an evening, after I fire up with Flight Sim 2004 or World of Warcraft, the system will just *hang*. I have to reset or power-cycle the box to get it to come back.
After that, it's generally good for the evening and I can play WoW or Flight Sim for hours.
I ran the monitor, and it doesn't appear that the card is over heating, but as it's a 6200 (without a fan) I'm concerned that it could be that.
If anyone here could suggest a diagnostic tool, or a course of action, that might help - I'd appreciate it.
System Config:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Memory: 2GB DDR2 533mhz
CPU: Intel Celeron 3.2gHz
Motherboard: PCCHIPS P23G v3.0 (AGP video, Socket 775)
Sound: Using mobo sound
Network: USB Wireless Adapter

Hi Micechat! I'm new to this board and the SoCal area but was thinking of applying to Disneyland. I have a few years of hairstyling in a salon under my belt and was thinking of trying out as a cosmetologist at the park. (I'd just like to shake things up and try something different since I don't have my regular clientele anymore and I love Disney! Living closer to the park is now just a plus.)
I was just curious to know about what type of wigs they typically use in the cosmetology department. And whether or not they have any preferred methods for setting styles.
Thanks for the help!

The sons of 93 year old Ruby Peterson, Mack, Don, and Lonny Peterson, have been banned from visiting their mother repeatedly by Silverado Senior Living based upon the content of social media posts concerning her year long false imprisonment and forced drugging at its Sugarland facility. Despite the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Texas' preeminent anti-SLAPP statute (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation), both of which prohibits threats or lawsuits based upon the "content" of speech, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which protect the Peterson brothers in the course of advocating for the needs of their mother, a covered individual by virtue of her disability, Silverado Senior Living continues to violate these Statutes with 24/7 monitoring of the online activities followed by threats of additional visitation bans.
Silverado Senior Living's sole argument is that the Peterson brothers are violating the privacy rights of their mother and/or other residents or staff who were inadvertently included and vaguely discerned in a small portion of such videos and photographs taken of Ruby Peterson. This might seem plausible if you did not know that until this lawsuit was filed, Silverado Senior Living maintained numerous Facebook Groups in which the Company posted countless photographs of residents to advertise their "memory care" facility Nationwide.
Silverado Senior Living hardly seems interested in the Constitutional Right to Privacy, as evidenced by the Sugarland facility's routine violation of the Texas Administrative Code, Section 19.401 and Elder Bill of Rights in Texas Human Resource Code, Section 102.003--in spying on the communications of Don, Lonny and Mack with their mother and prohibiting their mandatory right to privacy in meetings at their facility. Don Peterson was recently threatened by Silverado Senior Living Staff to put his cell phone away or else. All three brothers indicate that as a result of the State and Federal Lawsuits filed against Silverado, they are no longer permitted to meet with their mother in private. They are prohibited from visiting Ruby Peterson in her room, as they have done for the past year of her involuntary confinement. Staff is never more than 6-8 feet away during their visits to spy on their communications, presumably.
Trial in Mackey Glen Peterson, Don Leslie Peterson and Lonny Peterson's July lawsuit filed in Texas District Court for conspiracy, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary duty, false imprisonment, assault, battery, breach of privacy, and conversion is set for November 19, 2012 in Probate Court No. 1. Claims have also been made against Dr. Rebecca Clearman and Dr. Christopher Merkl of Sugarland, Texas. A second lawsuit was filed by the brothers on July 29, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division against Silverado Senior Living, doing business as Silverado Senior Living–Sugar Land, and Tana McMillon. The Federal Lawsuit asserts claims which could not be brought in Probate Court under 42 U.S.C. 1983, Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the 1st and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Silverado Senior Living is accused of violating the First Amendment to the United States Constitution by drugging Ruby Peterson against her will and denying her the Constitutionally protected right to free exercise of her religion by prohibiting her from leaving Silverado to attend church. Silverado cites a revoked 1993 power of attorney as authority for its decision to refuse to permit Ruby Peterson egress from Silverado for the past year for any reason. While claiming that she would become disoriented by being permitted to leave, Silverado simultaneously moves Ruby's room 4 times during the past year and admits to routinely lying to her and tricking her to take medication she finds objectionable. Dr. Merkl of Sugarland testified that proper medical care for the elderly involves deceit in response to questioning as to whether it is appropriate to lie, trick, or force dangerous antipsychotic drugs upon the elderly over their objection. Plaintiffs' expert testified that the American Medical Association prohibits lying to patients. Perhaps Dr. Merkl should renew his membership.
The Petersons allege their visitation rights to Silverado Senior Living had been revoked based on the "posting of exploitive and invasive materials which also violate the privacy rights of other Silverado residents." The plaintiffs have been allowed to visit their mother only by immediately removing objectionable photographs and videos from social media and the internet. Despite the fact that this demand violates their rights, they have agreed, in part, solely to avoid a complete ban on their visitation with their declining 93 year old mother. The Petersons contend the nursing home's decision to revoke their visitation rights was arbitrary and unreasonable. They say they have not published anything that could be considered invasive or exploitive. The plaintiffs further allege the actions of Silverado revoking access and prohibiting association with their mother by themselves and their spouses was retaliatory and oppressive, based on the content of communication and publication relating to matters of general public concern, the complaint says.
Lonny Peterson claims he attempted to visit his mother July 27, but was told to leave the premises. That same day, Don Peterson and his spouse also attempted to see their mother at the home, but were stopped at the door and warned, saying they would be arrested if they did not immediately leave the premises, according to the complaint. The plaintiffs currently have no way to see their mother if they do not submit to the oppressive demands of Silverado Senior Living because it is locked and she cannot leave. Though no judge has ordered that Ruby Peterson be committed and a power of attorney cannot legally hold the principal--confined against her will, Silverado Senior Living persists in virtually incarcerating Ruby Peterson against her will. Despite Ruby's repeated demands to leave Silverado--some of which made while screaming and crying--Silverado refuses.
Because of the nursing home's actions, the plaintiffs suffered physical and mental harm, including mental, emotional and physical distress and anxiety. Defendants have retaliated against them and failed to provide access to reasonable and necessary visitation, violating their constitutional rights, in addition to violating the Constitutional rights of Ruby Peterson. The lawsuit is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division case number 4:14-cv-02179. Their story unfolds on LetRubyGo.com!

SHORELINE, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington Health Department is responding to an outbreak of hundreds of cases of whooping cough that's on a pace to set a record number this year in the state.
Health Secretary Mary Selecky is holding a news conference Tuesday at a state laboratory in Shoreline to update the numbers, raise awareness among health care providers and tell families that the pertussis vaccine is the best prevention.
The disease -- known for coughing fits with a whooping sound -- is most dangerous for infants. Four have died in the previous two years in Washington.

Rad dad hat
I've used this hat way more than I thought I would. It's lightweight, super breathable and has two options to keep it on your dome. The normal neck cord, and then an internal cinch cord. Great for ski tours, backpacking, the dog park, anything.
And it's got cool dad style.

Bryan Herta Autosport has signed Alex Tagliani to drive in the Izod IndyCar Series this season. The team won the Indianapolis 500 last year with Dan Wheldon as the driver. Tagliani drove the car in last year's season finale at Las Vegas, where Wheldon was killed in an early 15-car accident. Tagliani finished 14th in points last season and won poles at Indianapolis and Texas while driving for Sam Schmidt Motorsports. He sat out the race at Kentucky when Wheldon took his seat as a warm-up for Las Vegas. Tagliani has never won in IndyCar, and his career-best finish is fourth in a race. BHA has a factory deal with Lotus and said Monday it hopes to announce a sponsor for Tagliani later this week.

Children saw fewer television advertisements for certain foods, including those for sweets and beverages, in 2007 compared with 2003, according to a report posted online today that will appear in the September print issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. However, children now see more fast-food ads, and racial gaps in exposure to all food advertising have increased.
An Institute of Medicine (IOM) report concluded that there was strong evidence that television advertising influences the short-term eating habits of children age 2 to 11, and moderate evidence that advertising influences their usual dietary intake, according to background information in the article. In 2006, 10 major U.S. food companies pledged to devote at least half of their child-targeted advertising to healthier products or encouraging good nutrition and healthy lifestyles, an effort called the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative. By 2009, 16 companies had signed on. "Given that each company defined their own better-for-you products and also had different definitions of what constituted children's programming, key questions remain," the authors write.
To assess trends in food advertising before and after the initiative, Lisa M. Powell, Ph.D., and colleagues at the University of Illinois at Chicago studied television ratings data from Nielsen Media Research for the calendar years 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Between 2003 and 2007, daily average exposure to televised food ads decreased by 13.7 percent among children age 2 to 5 and 3.7 percent among children age 6 to 11, but increased by 3.7 percent among teens age 12 to 17. Ads for sweets became less frequent, with a 41 percent decrease in exposure for 2- to 5-year-olds, 29.3 percent for 6- to 11-year-olds and 12.1 percent for 12- to 17-year-olds. Beverage ads also decreased in frequency, by about 27 percent to 30 percent across age groups, with substanti

Re: S/V Maiora
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any details about what sound insulation product you used and how you installed it. I assume you removed the stock insulation but please address this if possible.
S/V Maiora
We have a 1996 Beneteau Oceanis 400. Our boat is the 3 cabin 2 head layout. My wife and I bought her over a year ago now. When I'm home (not deployed in your part of the world) we sail her constantly.
She has crossed the Straits of Juan De Fuca several times and brought us through in winds at or near 40 knots or a little more with me single handing her. We have an 11 month old and my wife is usually busy taking care of her.
We have taken her on a few 15 day trips and a bunch of week long and long weekend trips in all types of weather.
Before we bought her we looked at almost 100 boats of comparable length from 38-45 feet and from 1975-new. We like our decision but there were other boats I enjoyed sailing including Catalinas,J boats, a beautiful Moody and a few other Beneteaus.
Since we bought her I have installed or purchased:
A Boom Break
An Asym. Spinnaker
Engine Insulation
Increased the sail inventory
Flexofold prop (made a .5 kts difference in anything below hull speed)
What we like:
She sails to weather extremely well for a "performance cruiser".
She reaches hull speed (7.3ish kts) with little effort. For a cruiser she is a good light air boat.
The Pullman berth is outstanding.
When trimmed correctly she has a light responsive helm that is well balanced.
The inside is beautiful with plenty of room, a good galley and a comfy living space (the extra cabin becomes storage when no one is using it).
Light and airy interior
What we don't:
Like a lot of the newer, lighter boats she's not as sea kindly as a full keel boat weighing twice as much. This boat is not as happy in a following sea as a boat without the suger scoop stern.
With three cabins she could use more tankage.
She's loud when motoring (hence the insulation which helped).
The aft head has a shower but is only really usable as a head and wet locker (too cramped to shower in).
I wish she had a few more handholds down below for heavy seas.
Hope this helps you make a decision. Feel free to ask for pics if you want them.

The plus of iron is the lower cost.

|Bay of Biscay can act up like the devil. Can be a very rough stretch of water.
Crazy - that report is definitely interesting...especially in light of their route which, in earlier discussions about what constitutes "blue water", could be classified as "extended coastal" (from Malta, to Gibraltar, to A Caruna, and toward Plymouth); the farthest point from land being in the Bay of Biscay where they rolled (maybe 300-350 nm from land?).
So, with that in mind, look at this section of the report...
"2.1 TheYacht
Ocean Madam was a production Beneteau Oceanis 390 yacht. The class is typical
of its type with a high volume, low ballast ratio, light displacement and shallow
hull form. It is highly suitable for most activities including charter work and has a
good safety record. It is not a suitable craft for crossing oceans in bad weather.
Such craft are more susceptible to the effects of oceanic weather conditions and
especially to heavy seas. No stability information about the yacht was held in
board. Indeed at the time of purchase such information was only made available by
the builders to owners on request. There is no evidence to suggest the craft was
unsuitable for moderately rough weather conditions nor is it suggested there should
be any restrictions imposed. The lack of this information about the yacht's
stability, including a GZ curve, denied the skipper any opportunity to scrutinise the
possible implications of handling such a yacht in a very high sea state. The
limitations of this type of light displacement craft are, however, well known to
experienced blue water sailors."
Was it an "ocean crossing"? Or was it "coastal"?
Interesting reading. Lots to think about.
One thing I will say about Catalina vs Beneteau...(and I love my Beneteau).
The designs tend to be more tried/true for Catalina. Not fancy opening ports/hatches...not a lot of "skylights" that may leak in the future...etc. Their hardware also tends to be a bit sturdier (larger winches for the same LOA..etc). Also, they use Lead keels over Iron which have their plusses and minuses.
Foot for foot, you'll pay about 15% *SNIP*(25%)*SNIP more for a Catalina though.
*I edited to accurately reflect that Catalinas tend to be 10-15% more than a comparable Beneteau.

The city during the summer
Eilat in the summer months can be very crowded , prices are high , a lot of tourists and local Israelis .
The weather can be a big problem too - very hot , strong sun.
Unique Suggestions: Enjoy the water , the amazing mountain view.
Fun Alternatives: If you can come to Eilat not between june-august it will less crowded , hotels will be cheaper and you will enjoy the city more.
Eilat is not a cheap place, it's expensive as Europe, so you should know when planning visiting here.
Unique Suggestions: Way to save money is to eat for example in the fast food stands instead of restaurants. Those places serve Falafel, Shawarma, Salads etc, which are very good and relatively cheap.
Want to save even more, buy food in the supermarket, great selections on milk products, yoghurts, soft cheeses and cold drinks.
Kings City
Maybe I am a bit unfair to list this place as a trap, but I really think that Kings City does not belong to this place. Maybe in some places that there is not much to do, but I feel that is someone with small children make all his way to Eilat the proper way to spend you time and money is by the sea, swimming with dolphins, watching the fish in the aquarium, diving and all sort of sea or desert activity.
Fun Alternatives: See my tips.
Shopping in Eilat
Eilat is known as a tax free city.... but dont get to excited.... most of the local businesses dont reduce the prices because they know that most of the visitors wouldnt think twice when they want to buy something during the vacation.
The only olaces whre its worth to do shopping in Eilat its in the nationwide networks (especially fashion shops) where the prices are almost about 20% less then in other places like Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.
The conclusion is that its a good thing that Eilat is a tax free area but waste too much money because maybe you wont be the winners at that case...
3 monkeys
There are a lot of undercover cops there. You can spot them by their obnoxious behavior and habits of dragging someone around who is obviously sick, getting them drunk, and them humiliating them in front of tourists. Hey, this could be slanderous or treasonous, but it is true.

The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation while exposing investors to less risk than broad stock market indices.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation while exposing investors to less risk than broad stock market indices by investing in a portfolio of options (the "Option Portfolio") that the adviser believes structurally will generate exposure to equity markets with less volatility. The Option Portfolio is structured such that the fund is willing to trade-off opportunities for above average gains in exchange for income that will provide a cushion, and therefore some downside protection, during market declines.

SUNY Upstate wins $72,000 grant to study HIV
Edward Barker, Ph.D., assistant professor of microbiology and immunology in the College of Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University, has received a $72,000 grant from the American Foundation of AIDS Research (AmfAR). The grant will fund efforts to find out why human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, decreases the production of B7 molecules that are necessary to help fight the virus and ward of the development of AIDS.
"People who are asymptomatic with HIV have high levels of B7 molecules compared to people who have developed AIDS," Barker said. "We want know what is disturbing the expression of B7 molecules in people who have full blown AIDS."
Barker said the results of the study will provide insight into the development of therapies aimed at preventing HIV and their proteins from disrupting B7 and may influence the design of HIV vaccines that avoid decreasing the level of B7.
How HIV evades the body's immune system and renders it obselete has been at the forefront of Barker's research over the last decade. "Two decades after AIDS was first recognized, researchers have made tremendous efforts to understand and deal with the syndrome as well as its etiolocial agent, HIV," said Barker. "This has not only led to successful treatment of individuals with HIV to curtail its effects but has increased our understanding of virology and immunology in general. However there is a long road ahead before we are able to find a vaccine and possibly a cure."
Barker resides in Jamesville.

The Census Bureau has rolled out its first-ever mobile app that will provide citizens with real-time updates on how the economy is doing.
America's Economy will provide statistics on the U.S. economy, including monthly financial indicators, trends and a schedule of upcoming announcements. Currently available for Android mobile device users, the app pools data from several agencies, including the Census Bureau itself and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The launch marks the first time a mobile app provides smart phone and tablet users with the real-time government statistics that drive business hiring, sales and production decisions. It can assist economists, researchers, planners and policymakers, a Census spokesperson said. The economic indicators track monthly and quarterly trends in industries, such as employment, housing construction, international trade, personal income, retail sales and manufacturing.
The app is part of the federal digital government strategy launched nearly three months ago by federal CIO Steven VanRoekel. A key focus of the framework is to deliver information in a mobile-friendly way to make it easier for the public to access government information and data.
All agencies have until May 2013 to identify at least two customer-facing services they can adapt for mobile use. Currently, most government apps are featured on USA.gov, which hosts an app gallery with free apps, ranging in categories from health and business to education and news.
The Census Bureau has plans to release two more apps over the next months, with each being available for both Apple and Android smart phones. A public affairs officer told FCW there are currently no further details about what those future apps will entail.
Check out a review of the Census App here by FCW's sister publication, Government Computer News.
