In this April 24, 2012, file photo, former BP engineer Kurt Mix leaves the federal courthouse after a hearing in Houston. A jury is set to hear the Justice Departmentís case against the BP engineer charged with deleting text messages and voicemails about the companyís response to its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Jury selection for Mixís federal trial is scheduled to start Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 in New Orleans. Mix is one of four current or former BP employees charged with crimes related to the deadly disaster or its aftermath. His case is the first to be tried.NEW ORLEANS Jury selection began Monday for the Justice Departments case against a former BP drilling engineer charged with deleting text messages and voicemails about the companys response to its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Dozens of potential jurors filled a New Orleans courtroom for the start of Kurt Mixs federal trial, which is expected to last up to three weeks.
Mix, 52, of Katy, Texas, was indicted last year on two counts of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors claim he deliberately deleted strings of text messages to and from a supervisor and a BP PLC contractor to hamper a grand jurys investigation of the spill.
Mix is one of four current or former BP employees charged with crimes related to the nations worst offshore oil spill. His case is the first to be tried.
The charges against Mix arent related to any of the events leading up the April 2010 blowout of BPs Macondo well, which triggered an explosion that killed 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon rig.
Mix was part of a team of experts who scrambled to seal the well, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. Mix, who worked on BPs unsuccessful attempt to stop the gusher using a technique called top kill, had access to internal data about the amount of oil flowing from the well.
On May 26, 2010, the day the top kill began, Mix estimated in a text to a supervisor that more than 630,000 gallons of oil per day were spilling three times BPs public estimate of 210,000 gallons and a rate far greater than what the company said top kill could handle.
BP repeatedly notified Mix that he was obligated to preserve all of his spill-related records. But the indictment says he deleted a string of text messages to and from the supervisor, Jonathan Sprague, from his iPhone on Oct. 4, 2010.
Mix also allegedly deleted a string of text messages he exchanged with a BP contractor named Wilson Arabie in August 2011, several weeks after federal authorities issued a subpoena to BP for copies of some of Mixs correspondence.
In a court filing, Mixs lawyers said the deleted messages were predominantly and arguably entirely innocuous and insignificant in substance.
And in the lone text message directly referencing the Macondo Incident (Yup, but taking another spanking), Mix merely acknowledged what was already well known to government officials, the press corps, and millions of Americans watching CNN at the time: namely, that the ongoing top kill effort did not appear to be staunching the flow of oil from the Macondo Well, the defense attorneys wrote.
The indictment also accuses Mix of deleting one voicemail from Arabie, one voicemail from the supervisor and one voicemail from an unidentified caller that went through BPs general switchboard.
Each count of obstruction of justice carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Three other current or former BP employees await trials on spill-related criminal charges.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in... Full Story

Those experienced with both Python and astronomy should be able to start using PyEphem using only the notes and examples shown below! There are two ways to begin using PyEphem in a Python program. One is to import the module by name, and then to prefix everything you want to use from the module with the qualifier ephem; this is the way the code snippets below are written, which hopefully makes it clear which variables are coming from PyEphem itself and which are being created in the course of each example.
>>> import ephem
>>> m = ephem.Mars('1970')
>>> print(ephem.constellation(m))
('Aqr', 'Aquarius')
But to avoid typing the module name over and over again, you can tell Python to import everything from the module right into your namespace, where you can then use them without further qualification:
>>> from ephem import *
>>> m = Mars('1970')
>>> print(constellation(m))
('Aqr', 'Aquarius')
To understand each of the following examples, first read the source code snippet carefully, and only then dive into the explanations beneath it.
>>> m = ephem.Mars() >>> m.name 'Mars' >>> a = ephem.star('Arcturus') >>> a.name 'Arcturus'
- The Sun, Moon, planets, and major planet moons each have their own class.
- PyEphem includes a modest catalog of famous bright stars.
- Body instances know their name (which you can set to whatever you want).
>>> m = ephem.Mars('2003/8/27') >>> print('%s %s %.10f' % (m.name, m.elong, m.size)) Mars -173:00:34.2 25.1121063232
- Extra arguments when you create a Body are used to perform an initial compute() (see the next section).
>>> j = ephem.Jupiter() >>> j.compute('1986/2/8') >>> print('%s %s' % (j.ra, j.dec)) 21:57:50.46 -13:17:37.2 >>> j.compute('1986/2/9', epoch='1950') >>> print('%s %s' % (j.a_ra, j.a_dec)) 21:56:50.83 -13:22:54.3
Computes the position of the body.
The date if omitted defaults to now().
The epoch if omitted defaults to '2000'.
Date and epoch arguments can be anything acceptable to Date().
Sets the following body attributes:a_ra — Astrometric geocentric right ascension for the epoch specifieda_dec — Astrometric geocentric declination for the epoch specifiedg_ra and ra — Apparent geocentric right ascension for the epoch-of-dateg_dec and dec — Apparent geocentric declination for the epoch-of-dateelong — Elongation (angle to sun)mag — Magnitudesize — Size (diameter in arcseconds)radius — Size (radius as an angle)circumpolar — whether it stays above the horizonneverup — whether is stays below the horizon
On Solar System bodies, also sets:hlon — Heliocentric longitude (see next paragraph)hlat — Heliocentric latitude (see next paragraph)sun_distance — Distance to Sun (AU)earth_distance — Distance to Earth (AU)phase — Percent of surface illuminated
Both hlon and hlat have a special meaning for the Sun and Moon. For a Sun body, they give the Earth's heliocentric longitude and latitude. For a Moon body, they give the Moon's geocentric longitude and latitude.
On planetary moons, also sets:Position of moon relative to planet(measured in planet radii)x — offset +east or –westy — offset +south or –northz — offset +front or –behindWhether the moon is visible...earth_visible — from the Earthsun_visible — from the Sun
On artificial satellites, also sets:Geographic point beneath satellite:sublat — Latitude (+N)sublong — Longitude (+E)elevation — Height above sea level (m)range — Distance from observer to satellite (m)range_velocity — Range rate of change (m/s)eclipsed — Whether satellite is in Earth's shadow
On Moon bodies, also sets:Current libration:libration_lat — in Latitudelibration_long — in Longitudecolong — Selenographic colongiudemoon_phase — Percent of surface illuminatedsubsolar_lat — Lunar latitude that the Sun is standing above
On Jupiter bodies, also determines the longitude of the central meridian facing Earth, both in System I (which measures rotation at the Jovial equator) and System II (which measures rotation at temperate latitudes).cmlI — Central meridian longitude in System IcmlII — Central meridian longitude in System II
On Saturn bodies, also sets the tilt of the rings, with southward tilt being positive, and northward, negative:earth_tilt — Tilt towards Earthsun_tilt — Tilt towards Sun
>>> gatech = ephem.Observer() >>> gatech.lon = '-84.39733' >>> gatech.lat = '33.775867' >>> gatech.elevation = 320 >>> gatech.date = '1984/5/30 16:22:56' >>> v = ephem.Venus(gatech) >>> print('%s %s' % (v.alt, v.az)) 72:19:44.8 134:14:25.3
Computes the position of the Body.
Uses the date of the observer.
Uses the epoch of the observer.
Sets all of the Body attributes listed in the previous section (but ra and dec will get different values; see below).
Also computes where the body appears in the sky (or below the horizon) for the observer, and sets four more Body attributes:ra — Right ascensiondec — DeclinationApparent position relative to horizonaz — Azimuth east of northalt — Altitude above horizon
These apparent positions include an adjustment to simulate atmospheric refraction for the observer's temp and presure; set the observer's pressure to zero to ignore refraction.
For earth satellite objects, the astrometric coordinates a_ra and a_dec are topocentric instead of geocentric, since there is little point in figuring out where the satellite would appear on a J2000 (or whatever epoch you are using) star chart for an observer sitting at the center of the earth.
>>> line = "C/2002 Y1 (Juels-Holvorcem),e,103.7816,166.2194,128.8232,242.5695,0.0002609,0.99705756,0.0000,04/13.2508/2003,2000,g 6.5,4.0" >>> yh = ephem.readdb(line) >>> yh.compute('2007/10/1') >>> print('%.10f' % yh.earth_distance) 14.8046731949 >>> print(yh.mag) 23.96
Bodies can be imported and exported in the popular XEphem format.
When you deal with asteroids and comets, whose orbital parameters are subject to frequent revision, you will usually find yourself downloading an XEphem file and reading its contents.
To interpret a line in XEphem format, call the readdb() function:halley = ephem.readdb(line)
To export a body in XEphem format, call the writedb() method of the body itself:print(halley.writedb())
>>> line1 = "ISS (ZARYA)" >>> line2 = "1 25544U 98067A 03097.78853147 .00021906 00000-0 28403-3 0 8652" >>> line3 = "2 25544 51.6361 13.7980 0004256 35.6671 59.2566 15.58778559250029" >>> iss = ephem.readtle(line1, line2, line3) >>> iss.compute('2003/3/23') >>> print('%s %s' % (iss.sublong, iss.sublat)) -76:24:18.3 13:05:31.1
- Satellite elements often come packaged in a format called TLE, that has the satellite name on one line and the elements on the following two lines.
- Call the readtle() function to turn a TLE entry into a PyEphem Body.
When you load minor objects like comets and asteroids, the resulting object specifies the orbital elements that allow XEphem to predict its position.
These orbital elements are available for you to inspect and change.
If you lack a catalog from which to load an object, you can start by creating a raw body of one of the following types and filling in its elements.
Element attribute names start with underscores to distinguish them from the normal Body attributes that are set as the result of calling compute().
Each FixedBody has only three necessary elements:_ra, _dec — Position_epoch — The epoch of the position
The other FixedBody elements store trivia about its appearance:_class — One-character string classification_spect — Two-character string for the spectral code_ratio — Ratio between the major and minor diameters_pa — the angle at which the major axis lies in the sky, measured east of north (°)
EllipticalBody elements:_inc — Inclination (°)_Om — Longitude of ascending node (°)_om — Argument of perihelion (°)_a — Mean distance from sun (AU)_M — Mean anomaly from the perihelion (°)_epoch_M — Date for measurement _M_size — Angular size (arcseconds at 1 AU)_e — Eccentricity_epoch — Epoch for _inc, _Om, and _om_H, _G — Parameters for the H/G magnitude model_g, _k — Parameters for the g/k magnitude model
HyperbolicBody elements:_epoch — Equinox year for _inc, _Om, and _om_epoch_p — Epoch of perihelion_inc — Inclination (°)_Om — Longitude of ascending node (°)_om — Argument of perihelion (°)_e — Eccentricity_q — Perihelion distance (AU)_g, _k — Magnitude model coefficients_size — Angular size in arcseconds at 1 AU

>>> m = ephem.Moon('1980/6/1') >>> print(ephem.constellation(m)) ('Sgr', 'Sagittarius')
- The constellation() function returns a tuple containing the abbreviated name and full name of the constellation in which its argument lies.
- You can either pass a Body whose position is computed, or a tuple (ra, dec) of coordinates — in which case epoch 2000 is assumed unless you also pass an epoch= keyword argument specifying another value.
>>> print(ephem.delta_t('1980')) 50.54
- The delta_t() function returns the difference, in seconds, on the given date between Terrestrial Time and Universal Time.
- Takes a Date or Observer argument.
- Without an argument, uses now().
>>> ephem.julian_date('2000/1/1') 2451544.5
- The julian_date() function returns the official Julian Date of the given day and time.
- Takes a Date or Observer argument.
- Without an argument, uses now().
>>> ra, dec = '7:16:00', '-6:17:00' >>> print(ephem.uranometria(ra, dec)) V2 - P274 >>> print(ephem.uranometria2000(ra, dec)) V2 - P135 >>> print(ephem.millennium_atlas(ra, dec)) V1 - P273
Take an ra and dec as arguments.
Return the volume and page on which that coordinate lies in the given star atlas:Uranometria by Johannes Bayer.Uranometria 2000.0 edited by Wil Tirion.Millennium Star Atlas by Roger W. Sinnott and Michael A. C. Perryman.
>>> m1 = ephem.Moon('1970/1/16') >>> m2 = ephem.Moon('1970/1/17') >>> s = ephem.separation(m1, m2) >>> print("In one day the Moon moved %s" % s) In one day the Moon moved 12:33:28.5
- The separation() function returns the angle that separates two positions on a sphere.
- Each argument can be either a Body, in which case its ra and dec are used, or a tuple (lon, lat) giving a pair of spherical coordinates where lon measures angle around the sphere's equator and lat measures the angle above or below its equator.
>>> np = Equatorial('0', '90', epoch='2000') >>> g = Galactic(np) >>> print('%s %s' % (g.lon, g.lat)) 122:55:54.9 27:07:41.7
There are three coordinate classes, which each have three properties:Equatorialra — right ascensiondec — declinationepoch — epoch of the coordinateEclipticlon — ecliptic longitude (+E)lat — ecliptic latitude (+N)epoch — epoch of the coordinateGalacticlon — galactic longitude (+E)lat — galactic latitude (+N)epoch — epoch of the coordinate
When creating a new coordinate, you can pass either a body, or another coordinate, or a pair of raw angles (always place the longitude or right ascension first).
When creating a coordinate, you can optionally pass an epoch= keyword specifying the epoch for the coordinate system. Otherwise the epoch is copied from the body or other coordinate being used, or J2000 is used as the default.
See the Coordinate Transformations document for more details.
>>> lowell = ephem.Observer() >>> lowell.lon = '-111:32.1' >>> lowell.lat = '35:05.8' >>> lowell.elevation = 2198 >>> lowell.date = '1986/3/13' >>> j = ephem.Jupiter() >>> j.compute(lowell) >>> print(j.circumpolar) False >>> print(j.neverup) False >>> print('%s %s' % (j.alt, j.az)) 0:57:44.7 256:41:01.3
Describes a position on Earth's surface.
Pass to the compute() method of a Body.
These are the attributes you can set:date — Date and timeepoch — Epoch for astrometric RA/declat — Latitude (+N)lon — Longitude (+E)elevation — Elevation (m)temp — Temperature (°C)pressure — Atmospheric pressure (mBar)
The date defaults to now().
The epoch defaults to '2000'.
The temp defaults to 25°C.
The pressure defaults to 1010mBar.
Other attributes default to zero.>>> lowell.compute_pressure() >>> lowell.pressure 775.6025138640499
- Computes the pressure at the observer's current elevation, using the International Standard Atmosphere.>>> boston = ephem.city('Boston') >>> print('%s %s' % (boston.lat, boston.lon)) 42:21:30.4 -71:03:35.2
- XEphem includes a small database of world cities.
- Each call to city() returns a new Observer.
- Only latitude, longitude, and elevation are set.
- XEphem can also perform Google geocoding lookups:
>>> from ephem import cities >>> ven = cities.lookup('Ven, Sweden')
- To avoid Google rate limits, avoid performing any lookup() more than once — instead, print the result to your screen and then cut-and-paste the latitude and longitude into your code.
- A ValueError signals a non-existent place.
ValueError: Google cannot find a place named 'nonsense string'
>>> sitka = ephem.Observer() >>> sitka.date = '1999/6/27' >>> sitka.lat = '57:10' >>> sitka.lon = '-135:15' >>> m = ephem.Mars() >>> print(sitka.next_transit(m)) 1999/6/27 04:22:45 >>> print('%s %s' % (m.alt, m.az)) 21:18:33.6 180:00:00.0 >>> print(sitka.next_rising(m, start='1999/6/28')) 1999/6/28 23:28:25 >>> print('%s %s' % (m.alt, m.az)) -0:00:05.8 111:10:41.6
Eight Observer methods are available for finding rising, transit, and setting times:previous_transit() next_transit() previous_antitransit() next_antitransit() previous_rising() next_rising() previous_setting() next_setting()
Each takes a Body argument, which can be any body except an EarthSatellite (for which the next_pass() method below should be used).
Starting at the Observer's date they search the entire circuit of the sky that the body was making from its previous anti-transit to the next.
If the search is successful, returns a Date value.
Always leaves the Body at its position on that date.
Always leaves the Observer unmodified.
Takes an optional start= argument giving the date and time from which the search for a rising, transit, or setting should commence.
We define the meridian as the line running overhead from the celestial North pole to the South pole, and the anti-meridian as the other half of the same great circle; so the transit and anti-transit methods always succeed, whether the body crosses the horizon or not.
But the rising and setting functions raise exceptions if the body does not to cross the horizon; the exception hierarchy is:ephem.CircumpolarError | +--- ephem.AlwaysUpError +--- ephem.NeverUpError
Rising and setting are defined as the moments when the upper limb of the body touches the horizon (that is, when the body's alt plus radius equals zero).
Rising and setting are sensitive to atmospheric refraction at the horizon, and therefore to the observer's temp and pressure; set the pressure to zero to turn off refraction.
Rising and setting pay attention to the observer's horizon attribute; see the next section.>>> line1 = "IRIDIUM 80 [+]" >>> line2 = "1 25469U 98051C 09119.61415140 -.00000218 00000-0 -84793-4 0 4781" >>> line3 = "2 25469 86.4029 183.4052 0002522 86.7221 273.4294 14.34215064557061" >>> iridium_80 = ephem.readtle(line1, line2, line3) >>> boston.date = '2009/5/1' >>> info = boston.next_pass(iridium_80) >>> print("Rise time: %s azimuth: %s" % (info[0], info[1])) Rise time: 2009/5/1 00:22:15 azimuth: 104:36:16.0
The next_pass() method takes an EarthSatellite body and determines when it will next cross above the horizon.
It returns a six-element tuple giving:0 Rise time 1 Rise azimuth 2 Maximum altitude time 3 Maximum altitude 4 Set time 5 Set azimuth
Any of the tuple values can be None if that event was not found.
>>> sun = ephem.Sun() >>> greenwich = ephem.Observer() >>> greenwich.lat = '51:28:38' >>> print(greenwich.horizon) 0:00:00.0 >>> greenwich.date = '2007/10/1' >>> r1 = greenwich.next_rising(sun) >>> greenwich.pressure = 0 >>> greenwich.horizon = '-0:34' >>> greenwich.date = '2007/10/1' >>> r2 = greenwich.next_rising(sun) >>> print('Visual sunrise: %s' % r1) Visual sunrise: 2007/10/1 05:59:30 >>> print('Naval Observatory sunrise: %s' % r2) Naval Observatory sunrise: 2007/10/1 05:59:50
- The horizon attribute defines your horizon, the altitude of the upper limb of a body at the moment you consider it to be rising and setting.
- The horizon defaults to zero degrees.
- The United States Naval Observatory, rather than computing refraction dynamically, uses a constant estimate of 34' of refraction at the horizon. So in the above example, rather than attempting to jury-rig values for temp and pressure that yield the magic 34', we turn off PyEphem refraction entirely and define the horizon itself as being at 34' altitude instead.
- To determine when a body will rise "high enough" above haze or obstacles, set horizon to a positive number of degrees.
- A negative value of horizon can be used when an observer is high off of the ground.
>>> madrid = ephem.city('Madrid') >>> madrid.date = '1978/10/3 11:32' >>> print(madrid.sidereal_time()) 12:04:28.09
- Called without arguments.
- Returns the sidereal time for the observer's circumstances.
>>> ra, dec = madrid.radec_of(0, '90') >>> print('%s %s' % (ra, dec)) 12:05:35.12 40:17:49.8
- Called like radec_of(az, alt).
- Returns the apparent topocentric coordinates behind the given point in the sky.
>>> d1 = ephem.next_equinox('2000') >>> print(d1) 2000/3/20 07:35:17 >>> d2 = ephem.next_solstice(d1) >>> print(d2) 2000/6/21 01:47:51 >>> t = d2 - d1 >>> print("Spring lasted %.1f days" % t) Spring lasted 92.8 days
Functions take a Date argument.
Return a Date.
Available functions:previous_solstice() next_solstice() previous_equinox() next_equinox() previous_vernal_equinox() next_vernal_equinox()
>>> d1 = ephem.next_full_moon('1984') >>> print(d1) 1984/1/18 14:05:10 >>> d2 = ephem.next_new_moon(d1) >>> print(d2) 1984/2/1 23:46:25
Functions take a Date argument.
Return a Date.
Available functions:previous_new_moon() next_new_moon() previous_first_quarter_moon() next_first_quarter_moon() previous_full_moon() next_full_moon() previous_last_quarter_moon() next_last_quarter_moon()
>>> a = ephem.degrees('180:00:00') >>> print(a) 180:00:00.0 >>> a 3.141592653589793 >>> print("180° is %f radians" % a) 180° is 3.141593 radians >>> h = ephem.hours('1:00:00') >>> deg = ephem.degrees(h) >>> print("1h right ascension = %s°" % deg) 1h right ascension = 15:00:00.0°
Many Body and Observer attributes return their value as Angle objects.
Most angles are measured in degrees.
Only right ascension is measured in hours.
You can also create angles yourself through two ephem functions:degrees() — return an Angle in degreeshours() — return an Angle in hours
Each angle acts like a Python float.
Angles always store floating-point radians.
Only when printed, passed to str(), or formatted with '%s' do angles display themselves as degrees or hours.
When setting an angle attribute in a body or observer, or creating angles yourself, you can provide either floating-point radians or a string with degrees or hours. The following angles are equivalent:ephem.degrees(ephem.pi / 32) ephem.degrees('5.625') ephem.degrees('5:37.5') ephem.degrees('5:37:30') ephem.degrees('5:37:30.0') ephem.hours('0.375') ephem.hours('0:22.5') ephem.hours('0:22:30') ephem.hours('0:22:30.0')
When doing math on angles, the results will often exceed the normal bounds for an angle. Therefore two attributes are provided for each angle:norm — returns angle normalized to [0, 2π).znorm — returns angle normalized to [-π, π).
For more details see the Angle document.
>>> d = ephem.Date('1997/3/9 5:13') >>> print(d) 1997/3/9 05:13:00 >>> d 35496.717361111114 >>> d.triple() (1997, 3, 9.21736111111386) >>> d.tuple() (1997, 3, 9, 5, 13, 2.3748725652694702e-07) >>> d + ephem.hour 35496.75902777778 >>> print(ephem.date(d + ephem.hour)) 1997/3/9 06:13:00 >>> print(ephem.date(d + 1)) 1997/3/10 05:13:00
Dates are stored and returned as floats.
Only when printed, passed to str(), or formatted with '%s' does a date express itself as a string giving the calendar day and time.
The modern Gregorian calendar is used for recent dates, and the old Julian calendar for dates before October 15, 1582.
Dates always use Universal Time, never your local time zone.
Call .triple() to split a date into its year, month, and day.
Call .tuple() to split a date into its year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
You can create ephem.Date() dates yourself in addition to those you will be returned by other objects.
Call ephem.now() for the current date and time.
When setting a date attribute in a body or observer, or creating angles yourself, you can provide either floating-point radians, a string, or a tuple. The following dates are equivalent:ephem.Date(35497.7197916667) ephem.Date('1997/3/10.2197916667') ephem.Date('1997/3/10 05.275') ephem.Date('1997/3/10 05:16.5') ephem.Date('1997/3/10 05:16:30') ephem.Date('1997/3/10 05:16:30.0') ephem.Date((1997, 3, 10.2197916667)) ephem.Date((1997, 3, 10, 5, 16, 30.0))
Dates store the number of days that have passed since noon Universal Time on the last day of 1899. By adding and subtracting whole numbers from dates, you can move several days into the past or future. If you want to move by smaller amounts, the following constants may be helpful:ephem.hour ephem.minute ephem.second
For more details see the Date document.
>>> d = ephem.Date('1997/3/9 5:13') >>> ephem.localtime(d) datetime.datetime(1997, 3, 9, 0, 13, 0, 6) >>> print(ephem.localtime(d)) 1997-03-09 00:13:00.000006
- The localtime() function converts a PyEphem date into a Python datetime object expressed in your local time zone.
>>> rigel = ephem.star('Rigel') >>> print('%s %s' % (rigel._ra, rigel._dec)) 5:14:32.30 -8:12:06.0
- PyEphem provides a catalog of bright stars.
- Each call to star() returns a new FixedBody whose coordinates are those of the named star.
>>> stuttgart = ephem.city('Stuttgart') >>> print(stuttgart.lon) 9:10:50.8 >>> print(stuttgart.lat) 48:46:37.6
- PyEphem knows 122 world cities.
- The city() function returns an Observer whose longitude, latitude, and elevation are those of the given city.
PyEphem provides constants for the dates of a few major star-atlas epochs:B1900 B1950 J2000
PyEphem provides, for reference, the length of four distances, all in meters:ephem.meters_per_au ephem.earth_radius ephem.moon_radius ephem.sun_radius
PyEphem provides the speed of light in meters per second:ephem.c

Mexico supplies electricity to wintry Texas
Posted By kurtnimmo On February 3, 2011 @ 6:07 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
February 3, 2011
Mexico's state electricity company on Wednesday started supplying electricity to the US state of Texas, where demand shot up amid unusually cold temperatures and caused power outages.
Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission "was determined to support Texas with electrical energy faced with the problems the state is suffering due to climatological conditions," a statement said.
An energy transfer of 280 megawatts began at midday (1800 GMT) via the north Mexican border cities of Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Piedras Negras, it added.

DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — A 19-year-old escaped serious injuries after a fiery crash on I-85 Southbound near Mile Marker 98.
Troopers said Nicholas Browne-Marke's car experienced a tire failure, went off the side of the road, crashed down an embankment and caught fire.
"It happened way too fast," Browne-Marke said. "I was pretty much trapped inside but was able to climb out of the back window. God was on my side today."
No one else was involved in the accident.
The crash slowed traffic for a short period of time.
"I thank God you lost your car and not your life," said Brown-Marke's mother Princess Byass King. "I'm a firm believer in the Lord. Some angels picked him out of that car."
No charges were filed.

Maxtor XT or WD black, Best Second hard disk for MBP13 Mid 2009
Hello and greetings from a newbie to this forum,
I have a MBP13, Mid 2009 model with 8GB RAM and a 200GB OWC extreme primary disk, I want to add an additional disk replacing the optical drive. I want to know if buying a momentus XT 750 would make any difference as compared to a WD black 750?
The startup and shutdown doesnt matter as my primary disk is anyways going to be the current SSD.
Would also appreciate if suggestions could be made on what I could move to the second hard disk.
Thanks in anticipation of good responses,
I can't comment on the two drives, but I can give you my experience with the separation of data. I have a MBP, Early 2011, that originally had a 750Gb drive. I replaced that primary drive with an OWC 48G SSD. I moved the 750G HD to the optical bay using there adapter bracket. In the process, I cloned the original drive to the SSD, then moved my home directory to the HD. So now, on the HD, I have a Users folder and a System folder. The System folder holds certain caches and were put there by the system itself. The Users folder has all my personal files that were previously in the User folder on the boot disk. On the SSD there is also a Users folder, and it contains some things that various applications have put there. Calibre seems to be the prime "offender" here, as it stores information to that folder rather than on the HD. I also moved my virtual machine images to the SSD to allow for faster booting of the images, and I have put my iTunes library of music there as well, although it ran just fine on the HD. It's been a while since I did the conversion so I don't remember the exact steps I took to define the HD for the Users folder, but it went easily and I've had no issues with it since then. You might also search here for some comments about making a Fusion drive out of the two drives. That all came out after I had made my changes, so I did not implement a Fusion drive on my system. Whatever you do, good luck with it!
For what it is worth MacInWin OWC technicians advise against cloning to an SSD. Something to do with copying platter drives causes problems. They suggest clean OS install and use Migration Assistant to transfer things over.
Do a search George of the Momentus Hybrid. Many, including staff member bobtomay, reported negatively on the drive.
chscag, I think you are mistaken. From the CCC documentation you can find online
Great idea that did not cross my mind
I was worried about moving the wrong folder. Last week when I tried to move the iTunes library and was successful and I was happy, but yesterday when I tried to add songs, I couldn't. I used to be a hands on techie long time back, and would get into the nitty gritties but I don't have the luxury of time now a days.
Appreciate your post. Thanks once again.
Momentus will search
I shall study the disks. Thanks for the info.
Probably get the WD and try to create a fusion drive as suggested by macwin.
As far as the CCC is concerned, I had used it quite a few times to clone a spinning drive to a USB drive to a SSD and back to a spinning drive and back to my final OWC that I am using now. Never had a challenge. But that was way back in 2009.

Nursing Home NegligenceWhen ensuring the care of a loved one to a nursing home, it is reasonable to expect the care and compassion from the staff that a person would provide for their own family member. However, some nursing homes do not uphold this level of care. This upsetting reality is unthinkable and traumatic for elderly patients and their families. The Coye Law Firm will hold nursing homes responsible for the person care of your loved one. Swift action is vital in personal care issues, so call our offices today if you are concerned about the care your elderly relative. No one should have to endure personal injuries alone.
Signs of Nursing Home AbuseIf while living in a nursing home your loved one has experienced:
- Malnutrition or dehydration,
- Lack of assistance with personal hygiene,
- Sores,
- Failure to be given proper medication,
- Inadequate staffing,
- Unsanitary living conditions,
- Unexplained injuries or death,
Nursing home negligence may occur because of little or no visitation from family members. If a patient has no one to check in on them, then negligence can go unnoticed. If you suspect that your loved one is being neglected in his or her nursing home, it is imperative to change the situation. Speaking to an administrator or nurse in the home may bring conditions to light that they weren't aware of. Action can help improve the quality of care for your loved one and the others who live in the facility.
If mentioning these issues does nothing to improve the situation, then pursuing legal action may be the next step.
Call the Coye Law Firm today so you can ensure that the legal and personal rights of your elderly loved one are being protected. Our personal injury lawyer team will investigate areas of liability and compensation while working with all parties to ensure your loved one's health and safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How should I chose a nursing home?
A: There are many things to consider when helping a loved one make the move to a nursing home. It may be helpful to visit the facility in person to see if it fits the patient's needs. Additionally, to ensure the patient's safety, consult health inspection reports, fire safety reports, and other measurements of quality. It is helpful to consider many nursing homes in the area in order to compare and choose the best fit.
Q: Who conducts the inspections of nursing homes?
A: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services contracts state agencies to inspect nursing homes. In addition to fire safety and health inspections, they investigate complaints about care at the nursing home. Unless the nursing home is performing poorly, these check are done about once a year.
Q: Who should I speak to first if I have concerns about the care of my loved one?
A: Nursing home require a grievance procedure, or a way for complaints to be filed. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are there to help residents with daily activities, and therefore are often on staff 24 hours a day. These employees can have some of the most contact with your relative, so if a problem arises, they may be able to solve it easily. If contacting one of their superiors doesn't solve the issue, some homes have resident/family councils. This can be a good way to voice concerns to the whole community.
Q: How do I remove my loved one from the home if they no longer want to live there?
A: Since one must pay for the service of living in a nursing home, the patient has the right to leave if they no longer want to live there. Some homes require a notification and may require this in advance, so it is important to consult their procedure.
These questions, along with many more, appear in the "Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home Handbook," available in full here .
The Coye Law Firm is dedicated to serving the families of central Florida. If you have entrusted a loved one to a nursing home and their care is not adequate, it is necessary to change. If discussing the issue with the staff doesn't resolve the issue, you need an experienced lawyer to keep your loved one safe, happy, and healthy. contact us today.

Plans unveiled for renovation
HUNTINGTON — Dr. Joe Touma has some ambitious remodeling plans for Huntington City Hall.
The ear, nose and throat doctor who has renovated several buildings in downtown Huntington during the past decade is spearheading a campaign to raise $150,000 in private donations to redecorate the main hallway of the city government building at the northeast corner of 5th Avenue and 8th Street. He hopes to form a fundraising committee and have the project completed sometime next year as part of the building's 100th birthday celebration.
"The building is grand, and the main hallway is grand, but it has become outdated," Touma said. "I believe and the mayor believes that City Hall should reflect who we are, and that's a progressive city that is moving forward in every aspect."
Approximately $50,000 already has been raised as seed money for the renovation project. The money was donated to the City of Huntington Foundation by friends of Verna Gibson as a way to honor her when she was inducted into the Huntington Wall of Fame in 2012.
"We didn't know what we were going to do with this money at first, but when we started talking about renovating City Hall, (Gibson) got excited, and her husband got excited, and the mayor got excited. When we discovered that next year is the 100th year of the building's existence, everyone got excited."
Huntington City Hall was constructed in 1914 by the King Lumber Co. at a cost of $115,300, according to "A Survey of Downtown Huntington," which was written by several Marshall University professors in 1985 for the Cabell County Landmarks Commission. It was designed by architect V.T. Ritter and replaced the old City Hall, a Victorian building located just north of the Carnegie Library, which is presently the Huntington Junior College of Business.
Mayor Steve Williams said the main hallway of City Hall was last renovated in 1985.
"Our remodeling is long overdue," he said. "We will be able to properly celebrate the 100th anniversary of the construction of City Hall. The design will showcase its beautiful architecture. Every citizen will be proud."
Interior Perspectives of Wheelersburg, Ohio, was hired to come up with a new interior design and redecorate the main hallway. Business owner Rebecca Dripps said the project will include replacing light fixtures, carpeting and floor tiles as well as new paint and vinyl wall coverings.
"The idea is to enhance the architectural features, such as the marble staircase, and let the details of this beautiful building really stand out," Dripps said.
A welcome desk staffed by volunteers will be placed near the main entrance of City Hall to assist people who need help finding an office. Williams also wants to replace the three-paneled city logo on the 5th Avenue side of the building with large windows to pull more natural light into City Hall. That was the original design of the building, he said.
For more information on how to make a donation to the project, call City of Huntington Foundation President Maxine Loudermilk at 304-696-5522.

Video:How to Make Chocolate Curlswith Jonathon Stewart
Want to make your desserts look like they came from a professional bakery? Try this easy method for making simple and elegant chocolate curls.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make Chocolate CurlsHi, I'm Jonathon Stewart for About.com Food with today's 90-second quick tip.
Looking for an easy way to gussy up your chocolate desserts for esteemed guests? Try this method for creating chocolate curls, and your dishes just might be mistaken for works of the pros. Check it out.
Soften the ChocolateWhite and milk chocolate are the easiest to work with in making professional-looking curls, but with a little practice, dark chocolate will readily curl as well.
Start by placing your chocolate on a plate and leaving it in a warm location for about an hour to soften just a bit.
If it's a warm summer day, letting it sit at room temperature works just fine.
Avoid Using the Microwave or OvenAvoid using a microwave or conventional oven to soften your chocolate. Nukers tend to heat unevenly, and if you overshoot your softening time by even a little, you can end up with a chocolaty mess.
Put the Chocolate on FoilFor this next step, you'll need just one tool, a vegetable peeler. You can use pretty much any variety; just make sure the blade is dry, sharp, and a little warm as well.
Place your softened chocolate on a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, scored side down, and line it up so that it's parallel with the edge of your counter.
Cut the Chocolate With a PeelerHolding the far end of the chocolate bar, pull your peeler from the far end toward you, being careful to mind your fingers and hand.
Some pieces will curl right away, while others may break off as flecks, which is fine. Using the tip of your peeler or a wooden skewer, move your curls and flecks to the side, then dig back in for more.
Use or Store the Chocolate CurlsIf you're decorating right away, use the skewer to transfer the curls from the foil to your dessert, so the heat from your hands won't melt them.
You can also toss them in an airtight bag and into the fridge, where they'll keep for about a week. If you choose to keep them on your counter, there's a good chance they won't last five minutes.

I love a good upcycling craft, I love little storage containers, and I also love Washi Tape. This, my friends, is therefore my "Trifecta" of crafting- a project that recycles mint tins- like the ones for Altoids- into happy little storage tins!
To make them, you'll need:
- Recycled mint tin (I used Altoids)
- Sandpaper/spraypaint (optional)
- Mod Podge (I like matte)
- Mod Podge Dimensional Magic (I used silver- it has glitter in it)
- Washi Tape
- Paper or chipboard embellishments if desired
First, if you like, you can scuff up the tin with the sandpaper and give it a base coat of spray paint. You can also use some needle-nose pliers and separate the top from the bottom of the tin- but frankly, I'm WAY too lazy for that. I just put a quick coat of Gesso on the top of my tin and let it dry for 10 minutes. You're going to decoupage the Washi Tape down anyway, but a coat of Gesso/white paint will keep the colors on the tin from showing through the translucent tape.
Trim away the excess with a craft knife. For the corners, you'll need to make little snips like darts so that it folds down smoothly. Burnish it all down with your fingernail.
As you can see from the photo above, I also ran a strip of tape around the base of the tin, just below where the top snaps in place.
Next, add a coat of Mod Podge all over- it'll keep the Washi Tape from peeling up.
Now you can add some paper embellishments or chipboard- the Mod Podge will act like the glue. For this one, I used a chipboard element that has a negative space- which I then filled with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. LOVE that sparkle!
In my other tins, I added some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic on top for a super-glossy top coat. I like that look, too.
I use these little tins in my studio to hold jewelry findings, UTEE, little punched embellishments, and office supplies. But you could also…
- make little sewing kits
- gather first aid supplies for your purse or backpack
- keep your business cards in them
- use it as a place to park your jewelry while traveling
- create gift boxes for earrings, gift cards, or other small presents
…I could go on all day! I hope you'll make a few- it's so much fun!

Snow White's Scary Adventure is a dark ride based on Walt Disney's first full-length animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Guests board wooden diamond mine cars and encounver the Evil Queen/Wicked Witch, the Dwarfs, and Prince Charming during the 3 minute ride. The original 1971 ride used the ride vehicle in place of Snow White, so that she was never seen in the ride. In 1994 the ride was changed to add Snow White and to tone the scariness of the Wicked Witch.

text: Born in Russia in 1866, Léon Bakst belonged to that young generation of European artists who rebelled against 19th century stage realism, which had become pedantic and literal, without imagination or theatricality. There were no specialist trained theatre designers, so painters like Léon Bakst turned their painting skills to theatre design. Bakst's fame lay in the ballets he designed for the Diaghilev Ballets Russes, and huge pageant spectaculars for dancer and patron, Ida Rubinstein.
