NASA's shuttle-ferrying jumbo jet to go on display with Boeing's help
NASA's original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, "NASA 905," is revealed as hangar doors open at Ellington Field, Houston.
August 22, 2013
— A NASA jumbo jet that for more than three decades ferried space shuttles across the country is now being readied for its own move, thanks to the support from the aerospace company that originally built the iconic Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA).
On Thursday (Aug. 22), Space Center Houston, the official visitor center for NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas, announced The Boeing Company will provide the needed disassembly and reassembly of the modified Boeing 747 jet so that it can be featured in a new $12 million, six-story educational attraction.
"Boeing was involved in every stage of the space shuttle program, which encompassed the ferried flights of NASA's orbiters across America for more than 35 years," stated John Elbon, Boeing vice president and general manager of space exploration. "Now we have an opportunity to extend that contribution, while upholding one of our strongest corporate commitments — to inspire the next-generation workforce."
"We are proud the SCA will have its new home at Space Center Houston, adjacent [to] the Johnson Space Center, home of America's human spaceflight program," he added.

transferred ownership of the aircraft
, known by its tail number NASA 905, to Space Center Houston in May. The 231-foot-long (70 meters) Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is 63 feet tall (19 m) and has a wingspan of 195 feet (59 m). Intact, it is too large to navigate the five miles (8 km) of city roads that separate Ellington Field, where it
landed in October 2012
, from the visitor center, where it'll be placed on permanent display.
Boeing is now in the process of analyzing the scope of the work needed to disassemble the historic aircraft, including sourcing the special tooling that will be required. After its wings and vertical stabilizer, or tail, have been detached, the airplane will be transported on trailers to Space Center Houston, where it will then be reassembled on site.
Once the SCA pieced together, a high-fidelity, full-scale
mockup of the space shuttle
— which arrived at Space Center Houston in June 2012 — will be mounted on top of the aircraft in the same configuration that the real orbiters were ferried. Space Center Houston plans to erect a tower structure, including an elevator, to provide the public with walk-through access to the interiors of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and
the orbiter replica
"Thanks to Boeing's generous contribution, we will be able to produce an unparalleled attraction that'll showcase the wonders of NASA's innovation and technology," Richard Allen, president and CEO of Space Center Houston, said. "Once it's complete, the 747 [Shuttle Carrier Aircraft] will become a vehicle of inspiration, lending her wings to the dreams of imaginative students."
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft attraction is slated to debut in 2015.
All aboard
When the aircraft opens to the public, visitors to Space Center Houston will have the opportunity to learn about the role the Boeing 747 jet served
from inside the plane
"The bulkheads of the 747 will house teaching facilities, immersive experiences, and rare artifacts that will thrill students, [exposing them to] the technical achievements of this historic program," Allen said.

After riding an elevator to the main deck of the aircraft, guests will step out into a large-scale cyclorama theater surrounding a quarter-scale model of the shuttle mounted atop the SCA. Moving clouds projected across the walls and floor will serve as the backdrop for inspirational words, flight facts and quotes from individuals who were involved in the shuttle program.
As guests move toward the front of the aircraft, they will encounter a multimedia presentation about the history of NASA 905, its design and its role in the shuttle program. Using "hologram" rear-projection technology, visitors will be able to virtually meet the crew who flew the SCA, as well as the engineers who modified the aircraft for its use during the shuttle program.
Behind the theater there will be an area devoted to further delving into the
Shuttle Carrier Aircraft's history
. Dynamic photos, archival film footage, and scale models will join a 55-inch (140-centimeter) multi-touch display deck, where visitors will be able to access the schematic designs of the aircraft before and after it was modified, as well as see what alternative options were considered to transport the shuttle.
The gesture-controlled display will also include an in-depth archive of film, photographs, drawings and mission-related information from NASA 905's three decades of service.
Rear-projection "holograms" will allow visitors to virtually meet the pilots and flight engineers who flew the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and the aeronautical engineers who modified the aircraft for its historic role in the space shuttle program.
From there, visitors can ascend the 747's original stairway to see into the aircraft's cockpit and its shuttle attachment reinforcements.
Back on the main deck and towards the rear of the SCA will be presented a series of "simulation stations" that will invite guests to experience the planning and training that both the flight and ground crews underwent in preparation for shuttle ferry flights. A virtual control room, wind-testing station and a flight simulation are planned.
Famous ferry
Built in 1970 and acquired from American Airlines in 1974, the original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft flew in wake vortex research studies at NASA's Flight Research Center (now the Dryden Flight Research Center) at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., before being modified by Boeing for its new role as an SCA. It carried the prototype shuttle Enterprise aloft in 1977 and released it five times for piloted approach and landing tests.

Renamed NASA 905, the aircraft then underwent further modifications for the ferry flight role it would have for more than three decades. Reaching a speed of Mach 0.6 (or 457 miles per hour), it flew
70 of the 87 ferry flights
during the shuttle program, including 46 of the 54 post-mission flights from NASA Dryden to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA 905's last service to the space shuttle program was ferrying Enterprise and the space-flown orbiters Discovery and Endeavour,
to their retirement homes
in New York, Virginia and Los Angeles in 2012. It then departed NASA Dryden for the last time Oct. 24, 2012, flying to Ellington Field to await its final retirement and disposition.
NASA 905's final time aloft was a pilot proficiency flight in December 2012.

Walking around Prague after dark, it's hard not to notice the hordes of tourists which frequent the streets, and in particular the ever-growing number of stag/bachelor parties that flock to it every weekend. Thankfully, they soon disappear into the many strip bars, steering clear of the many authentic Czech taverns which are dotted around the city centre.
These can be found in both the Old Town and New Town, but you must look past the main touristy areas such as Wenceslas Square and the Old Town Square. It pays to search for them too. For instance, a beer in one of the pubs around Wenceslas Square, or the Old Town Square, can set you back up anything up to 100Kc. Take five minutes to check out watering holes beyond these tourist traps and you'll find that a beer can still cost as little as 30Kc.
The Czech Republic is another country in Central Europe with a strong musical tradition meaning there are other things to do other than drink and party. One of the most enjoyable of these is a visit to a 'black light theatre'.
U Pruhonu 3, Prague 7, Prague, Czech Republic
Prague's hottest spot at the moment has special events and transvestite fashion nights among other things. There is a tamer restaurant and bar for those looking for a quieter night.
Open 10am-11pm Sun Thurs; 10am-6am Fri and Sat.
Kubelikova 27, Prague 3, Prague, Czech Republic
This is one of Prague's bigger pubs/venues with four bars in all to get served from. Good venue for live bands.
Vodièkova 10, New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
They say first impressions last. This isn't always true. Upon walking into this bar it seems like a quiet, local wine bar. But take a moment to explore what is beyond the small bar which greets you and you'll discover a bar that never seems to end - it has 7 different zones.
Open Mon-Thurs 8am-3am, Sat & Sun 8am-4am, Sun 8am-2am.
Novotného lávka 5, Staré Mesto, Prague, Czech Republic
Attracting Prague's weird and wonderful offspring every weekend, Karlovy Lazne is Prague's very own 'superclub'. Spread out over four floors and five rooms, each one plays different genres of music so there is something for everyone.
Open nightly from 9pm-5am; admission 50Kc-100Kc.
Lipova 15, Nové Mesto, Prague, Czech Republic
This bar, frequented mainly by locals, is where to go when you want to try something different. The pub has its own brewery and produces such delights as banana beer, cherry beer and coffee beer. It's also a good place when you want to get out of the city centre.
Open daily 11am-11.30pm.
Starémesto námìstí, 10, Staré Mesto, Prague, Czech Republic
While a beer here is a bit more expensive than in your average bar in Prague, you are always bound to find a bit of 'craic' in this Irish pub. But it isn't one of the city's largest pubs, and gets full very quickly.
Open daily 9am-2am.
Krásnohrské 5, Josefov, Prague, Czech Republic
If you're English, and want to catch a live game when you're in Prague, you can be guaranteed to catch it in this English bar in the Josefov district. If you're not looking to catch a game, you'll still enjoy a beer as staff are friendly and it attracts a lot of backpackers.
Open daily from 10am-1am.
Belehradská 120, Prague, Czech Republic
The city's affluent hipsters frequent this club while the decor is plush and the DJs pump out techno/house tunes. The title word 'Radost' is Czech for 'pleasure'.
Open Thurs-Sun 10pm-4pm.
Vodickova 36, Nove Mesto, Prague, Czech Republic
This extensive club, occupying an old basement ballroom in the beautiful but run-down Lucerna building is the venue for good, lively concerts catering for diverse tastes. The mainly Czech crowd enjoy cheap drinks and the diverse revival bands.
Open nightly from 8pm-3am.

Regular use of stone for sculpture and architecture commenced from the Maurya period, (c.325—184 BC) particularly from the time of the great king Ashoka (269—232 BC). From then a happy blend of art and architecture became a conspicuous characteristic of Indian art.
Sculptural images of the Shunga period (c. 184—72 BC) are characterised by low relief, bicornate turbans on male figures, the symbolic representation of the Buddha and narratives of his life. The stupas of Bharhut, Sanchi and Bodh Gaya are the great monuments of the age. The yaksha/yakshi (demon/demoness) statues of the Maurya and Shunga periods represent the influence of folk cult and the excellence of the Indian sculptural tradition.
Two great schools of art evolved and flourished simultaneously in the Kushana period (1st—3rd century), one using the spotted red sandstone at Mathura, and the other using the schist stone in the larger territory of the Gandhara region now in Pakistan and Afghanistan. While the former carved the images of the deities of all the pantheons (Hindu, Buddhist and Jain) the latter concentrated on Buddhist icons. Both are credited to have evolved the Buddha image. There was a good deal of interaction between the two styles in the 2nd and 3rd century.
Indian art reached its zenith in the Gupta period with the noble experiment of harmonising rupa and bhava. The schools of Mathura and Sarnath (near Varanasi) played a vital role in this respect. While Mathura represented garments on the human form with rippled pleats, Sarnath favoured "wet" or body-clinging drapery. The serenity of the face and refined treatment of the body are the hallmarks of the age. The sculptures and wall paintings created during the same period under the Vakatakas at Ajanta and other places followed the same trends and are similarly superb.
The political disharmony in the post Gupta period gave rise to regional artistic off—shoots. While the classical features of the preceding age were retained to a great extent, the religious and artistic inclination of the period saw the emergence of ornamentation, as well as sub-deities, family deities (parivaradevatas) and deities with multiple arms and attributes. The notable stylistic periods were those of the Pratiharas (c.900—1000) in the north, the Rashtrakutas (c.753—973) and Chalukyas (c.550—642) in the Deccan and the Pallavas (c.600—750) in the south. The temple was the great source of sculpture.
Remarkable specimens in dark basalt stone came onto the scene particularly in eastern India under the patronage of Pala and Sena kings (c.10th-l3th century) who favoured both Brahmanism and Buddhism. These are slim and slender figures with plinth—like projections (rathas), lotus cushions, flanking acolytes, decorative motifs like the leogryph (simhashardula), lion's face emitting strings of pearls (kirtimukha), geese (hamsa) and mythical crocodile (makara). Temples in Orissa were also studded with beautiful sculptures and decorative motifs.
The late medieval (11th—l3th century) sculptures are known for mechanical stylisation, pointed and linear clarity, meticulous details of ornaments and further elaboration of subsidiary deities. Divine figures are dominant and the female becomes the focal point in this period. Amorous and sometimes erotic postures also emerge. The temples of Khajuraho, Orissa, Halebid and Mount Abu are known for intricate carving. In the south, monumental gateways (gopurams) and the towers of the sanctums were decorated with hundreds of beautiful sculptures.
For their excellent formation and beauty bronzes have a unique significance in the domain of Indian art. These have been handed down from the Indus period (c. 3rd millennium BC) to the present day. All the major early religions in India encouraged bronze casting to popularise their faith. Bronzes have been found in different parts of India. The most important ones are from Tamil Nadu and date from the Chola period (c.900-1035). Figures of Shiva Nataraja surpasses all bronzes in their exquisite treatment, rhythm and expression.
Clay, with its ductile nature and wide availability has provided ample scope for artistic expression from time immemorial. The Harappa sites have yielded figurines of a number of mother goddesses. These are hand-modelled and have attached limbs, ornaments and garments.

Introducing Telestroke Telemedicine Technology for Stroke
Every minute counts when stroke, or brain attack, happens. In order to prevent further damage to the brain – or worse – it is crucial to act FAST so treatment can begin.
Hanover Hospital is proud to offer Telestroke, a telemedicine system focused on diagnosing and treating stroke patients FAST. The system enables real-time communication with neurology experts at Penn State Milton S. Hershey's (HMC) Stroke Center and access to advanced interventions.
Using Telestroke's sophisticated computer system and webcam, Hershey Medical Center physicians provide consultation that includes examining the patient, reviewing scans and speaking to the patient and family in real-time. A treatment recommendation is then made, and in consultation with Hanover Hospital's Emergency Department (ED) physician, the best course of action is determined.
According to Janet Cutsail, Director of Disease Management, Hanover Hospital, Telestroke allows the ED physician and nurses to communicate with HMC, a teaching hospital that does research for increased treatment options beyond the tPA (tissue Plasminogen Activator), a medication that we can administer here for stroke patients.
The computer is also able to send page alerts to HMC with a notification about the impending (or possibility of) transfer. With one click, the computer generates the order for a helicopter dispatch and for a bed assignment at Hershey. This means there are NO delays as patients arrive at the Medical Center.
Telestroke technology benefits patients in numerous ways, most importantly, offering the speed that is critical for the best outcome, says Cutsail. "It also offers more treatment options for patients who may not qualify for tPA administration, including 'wake up' strokes – those stricken while sleeping, with no way to gauge the exact time of onset." The tPA drug works by dissolving clots and restoring blood flow, but must be given within 3 to 4-1/2 hours of the onset of symptoms. There are other reasons why a person might not qualify for tPA administration, so having access to other treatment options is crucial.
About 73% of stroke patients usually are able to remain here in Hanover, close to home and family, Cutsail notes, and do not require transfer for further care.
The new Telestroke program is part of the affiliation between Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Hanover Hospital, a relationship that allows us to serve our stroke and heart attack patients more effectively.
"Telestroke provides patients with prompt specialized stroke care by accessing specialists at Hershey Medical Center," states James Wissler, President and CEO, Hanover Hospital. "The ability for the physician in Hershey to view the patient and discuss a treatment plan with our physicians allows for prompt treatment. Telestroke is a tremendous tool that enhances the level of care we provide to our patients."
How to recognize the signs and symptoms of stroke
Time is Brain so act F.A.S.T.!
F = FACE: look for facial droop by asking the person to smile
A = ARMS: ask the person to raise their arms. Does one side drift downward?
S = SPEECH: ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Is the sentence repeated correctly, and does he/she understand what you are asking them to do?
T = TIME: if the person shows any of these symptoms, CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY
What is Stroke?
Stroke, also called brain attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Disruption in blood flow is caused when either a blood clot blocks one of the vital blood vessels in the brain (ischemic stroke), or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into surrounding tissues (hemorrhagic stroke).
The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients in order to function. Even a brief interruption in blood supply can cause problems. Brain cells begin to die after just a few minutes without blood or oxygen. Due to both the physical and chemical changes that occur in the brain with stroke, damage can continue to occur for several days.
A loss of brain function occurs with brain cell death. This may include impaired ability with movement, speech, thinking and memory, bowel and bladder, eating, emotional control, and other vital body functions. Recovery from stroke and the specific ability affected depends on the size and location of the stroke. A small stroke may result in problems such as weakness in an arm or leg. Larger strokes may cause paralysis (inability to move part of the body), loss of speech, or even death.

But You're Too Small to Be the Daddy!
It's been a while since I've seen my children play bahay-bahayan (play house) in class. In fact, I don't recall them doing so last school year at all, when I was handling the Juniors Class. This year, however, I started seeing them play pretend during rest time. I'd hear conversations between them about how mommy will read brother a bedtime story and that daddy needs to finish his documents in the computer, etc. etc. It's been interesting to see their play dynamics.
Last week, however, I was surprised when one of the kids suddenly blurted out "but you can't be the daddy, you're too small" to one of the smaller boys in class. True, he is smaller than many other kids but I wasn't expecting that. The little girl who said that went on to say, "so if you want to be daddy, you have to drink medicine so you get taller na". Um…err…medicine? I blame this on the commercials on television that keep promoting whatever vitamins with hgh and whatever growth factor supplements. After my initial amazement at the whole discussion, I talked to the kids about how physical looks (size, weight, etc.) should never be an indicator of what one can or cannot do.
In the end, the little boy was daddy for the day

Day Three. 19% of Cell Towers Still Down
The East Coast continues to recover from the destruction of Hurricane Sandy. One of the issues the area is still deadling with is the communication infrastructure. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski says a lot of work still needs to be done. "The supply of fuel to generators is essential to keep communications service up and running, and were working with federal, state, and local authorities to speed fuel delivery. This is a priority because our commercial communications networks are essential to emergency response and recovery efforts, as well as to commercial activities and connecting with family.
FCC Public Safety & Homeland Security Bureau Chief David Turetsky says Based on data from Thursday morning, the number of cell site outages overall has declined from approximately 25 percent to 19 percent. This figure includes many cases where cell sites that are otherwise operational are effectively inoperable because of outages in other parts of the communications infrastructure, which is highly interdependent." Turetsky says restoration efforts in the hardest hit areas including New York and New Jersey continues to be more difficult. Replenishing fuel supplies for generators that are enabling communications networks to continue operating is a particularly critical challenge.
Hey regards! I work with earbuds out and about because on their portability, even though I favor over that ear. These start looking great.

Afro Man Stroking His Huge Manhood
Okay, so maybe this black guy could stand to do something different with his hair – I'm not a enormous fan of the fro. However, there's nothing that can make me take my eyes off of his penis once he gets it completely hard. That thing is enormous!
And there's something about the way he masturbates that really makes me fall in love with this hard muscled stud. What I don't get is why he's wearing sunglasses in doors…to masturbate. Maybe his cream is that explosive that he really, really needs eye protection. Hrm…
A Hardcore Black Gay Orgy In The Hood
Black Diamond and Back Bone were in the room and Black was on his knees sucking some cock when True Story and Daddy Mac showed up with some other guys. All the guys were horny and ready to go so they watched Back as he deep throated that dark dick. The other guys got naked and started stroking themselves.
It wasn't long before everyone was sucking on each other and half the guys were on all fours getting hammered hard from behind. As the fucking and sucking continued the party kicked up and the guys started cumming all over each other. That is how you blow off steam on a weekend.

|Food habits & anthropometry of two tribes of Rajmahal hills, Bihar.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2071187 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A dietary survey was conducted between August 1986 and July 1987, to investigate the various food ingredients consumed by two tribes (the Santals and the Pahariyas) residing in the villages of Rajmahal hills, of Bihar. A total of 651 families of two tribes of Sahibganj (Pakur and Rajmahal sub-divisions) and Godda districts were surveyed. Agriculture and forest products were the principal sources of income and food. Only about 12.6 per cent of the Pahariyas and 28.2 per cent Santals could afford regular meals every day for the whole year. Maize, rice, dry jawar powder and Ghangara were the staple foods of these tribes. Pulses and milk found no place in the diet of the Pahariyas. About 4.3 per cent Mals, 2.9 per cent Kumarbhags and 1.8 per cent Saurias and 7.2 per cent Santals ate fish/meat regularly. Toddy and locally distilled wines were regularly consumed by both the tribes. The amount of cereals, roots/tubers and toddy consumed by the Pahariyas was greater than that by the Santals (cereals: 82 and 64.6 per cent of the total food consumed by the Pahariyas and the Santals respectively). Similar amounts of leafy vegetables (5.1% in Santals and 4.8 to 6.8% among the Pahariyas) was consumed by these tribes. Slightly, higher quantity of non-leafy vegetables was consumed by the Santals (4.4%) than the Pahariyas (2.3% to 3.6%). Mean body weight, height, chest circumference, arm circumference and skinfold thickness etc., of the Pahariyas were significantly lower than those of the Santals.

Menu Plan April 4 – Citrus
Posted By Heather On April 3, 2011 @ 10:16 pm In Menu Plan | 9 Comments
[3]You may think that it's a little early in the season to be thinking of citrus fruit, but that's the theme for this week's Gluten-Free Menu Swap. If you're like me, you use citrus juices and zest throughout the year to add to recipes. I've listed a few that I've been thinking about for Easter. I have even more recipes with citrus juices in my menu plan below. And don't forget to check below my menu for this week's roundup of other gluten-free menu plans.
Celiac Family's Menu This Week:
Saturday – We really enjoyed the Socca Pizzas from Amy's [12] new cookbook: Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free [13]. So, I think we'll make them again. Pepperoni, Mozzarella and black olives seems to be the family favorite.
Sunday – Gotta love those easy leftover nights.
Gluten Free Menu Swap Roundup
Wendy at Celiacs in the House [14] says she bought a bag of lemons this week to make a lemon garlic dressing for salads. She's also using lemon juice this week to make homemade ricotta cheese. Wendy has an exciting menu this week [14], starting with the Baked Coconut Curry Chicken and ending with Salmon with Brussels sprouts and caramelized red onion and balsamic vinegar.
There are lots of good ideas at Ginger Lemon Girl [15] this week with a full menu of gluten-free meals, including breakfast and lunch ideas, too. Carrie also offers a list of her Sunday Night Pre-Meal Preparations for the week's meals, and directions for making a Quick Pantry Casserole. So what else is she eating this week? Roast Chicken, ground Turkey Tacos, ground Turkey Chili [16], Chicken Stir-fry, and more [15].
I'm not the only one thinking about lemons. Angela at Angela's Kitchen [17] is thinking about them, too. She shares a newsletter link for her recipes for gluten-free Lemon Bars and Chicken with Apricot Sauce. Both look fabulous, but I'm also thinking about the Pork and Pineapple kabobs she has on her menu this week. Spinach burgers and Chicken Thai Pizza rounds out Angela's menu this week [17].
Like Ginger Lemon Girl, Michelle at Gluten Free Smiles [18] offers lunch and breakfast ideas along with her dinner plan menu. Fresh orange juice, Sweet Lime Hummus, and Wendy's Kale Pesto and Feta Shells [19] are just a few. For dinners, Michelle's planning on Kale Avocado Salad over Quinoa, Chicken Fajitas, Steak and Spinach Salad, and more [18].

Women like Asia Carrera, Cumisha Amado, Isis Nile, Kaylani Lei, Mika Tan, Stephanie Swift and Kitty Yung are among the beauties here. The men such as Jon Dough, Steven Drake Randy Spears and Steven St. Croix are among the men in this one. There are way too many scenes to actually review so I'll do a brief synopsis of some of the names in it.
ASIA CARRERA - She appears several times during this feature and you see why she was the star she was in the 90's before leaving the business earlier in this decade.
MIKA TAN - A very underrated star who was actually a mix of hawaiian and samoan. While considered "fat" by some pig fans who think that women should be a size zero, I personally thought she was healthy and not at all fat. It certainly didn't stop her from putting on some good scenes. She is in a good number of scenes too.
ISIS NILE - She only appears twice in this but she was always, in my view, untapped potential. If her sex scenes matched her looks, she would've been one of the greatest of all time! Here, you see two of her better works in her career.
KAYLANI LEI - I've never heard of her until this feature but she was very good! Very sexy and knew how to flaunt it.
KITTY YUNG - As I have said about her many times, she's a hit or miss performer. Only two scenes of Kitty are featured here but both of them are hits! Plus, you get to see her BEFORE her surgeries and her totally naked without any shoes, stockings or extra clothes. She has an average face but a very good body and I always felt she didn't need the extras. Even her feet were pretty! LOL!
ANNA MALLE - The now deceased legend only has one scene on this one and its mainly dominated by Asia Carrera and Steven Drake. Still, you do get an idea of why she was so popular and regarded as she had an energy that few could match though she's only in action in the scene a few times.
Those were the notables in my view on this production though I can't recall a really bad scene from any of the performers here! You pretty much get it all on this one and is worth the buy!

WASHINGTON (March 4, 2014) U.S. home prices rose in January after three months of declines as a tight supply of homes might have helped boost prices and offset sales slowed by cold weather, Real estate data provider CoreLogic said Tuesday.
CoreLogic says prices rose 0.9 percent in January after dipping 0.1 percent in December.
Over the past 12 months, home prices have risen 12 percent, the biggest year-over-year gain in more than eight years.
CoreLogic's price figures aren't adjusted for seasonal patterns, such as winter weather, which can depress sales.
Snowstorms and low temperatures contributed to a sharp drop in sales of existing homes in January.
The National Association of Realtors said sales plunged to their lowest level in 18 months, but the number of homes for sale remained low, a factor that might have helped increase prices.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Opera has voted to hold its last note a little bit longer.
U-T San Diego says (http://bit.ly/1fhmFk1 ) after an overwhelming majority voted earlier this month to permanently close down, the opera's board chose Monday to delay the shutdown by two weeks while it considers its options.
Monday's vote came after an outcry from employees, fans and politicians trying to keep the opera alive after 49 years.
General Artistic Director and CEO Ian Campbell told the board the institution with its $15 million annual budget is so broke that closing was the only viable option.
The company planned to close and liquidate the day after its final performance of "Don Quixote" on April 13, but the deadline was extended until April 28 after a five-hour board meeting.

Hurricane Katrina is leaving damaged roofs, downed trees and frightened people in its wake this morning in the Florida Keys.
Four people died as a result of the storm -- three by falling trees and the fourth died when his car struck a tree.
Emergency dispatchers say they've been flooded with calls as the renewed storm swirls into the Gulf of Mexico.
An early morning tornado struck the airport in Marathon, damaging several planes and two nearby homes. No injuries were reported.
Officials say some low-lying areas are beginning to flood.
According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, the Keys can expect up to eight more inches of rain today, and more tornados are possible. They're recommending that everyone stay inside until the storm passes.
Early this morning, Katrina was centered about 50 miles
north-northwest of Key West. It's moving west at about five miles
per hour. The storm has maximum sustained winds near 75 miles per
hour. That makes Katrina a Category One hurricane.
As of four a-m Central, about one-point-26 (m) million customers
were without power.

Aims: To study the survival processes of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. within a modelled aquatic system and particularly the involvement and survival potential of viable but non-culturable forms.
Methods and Results: The survival and morphological characteristics of populations of thermophilic Campylobacter species exposed to simulated aquatic conditions were examined using a combination of cultural and microscopic techniques. Populations underwent progressive decay when exposed to simulated aquatic conditions. The rates of population decay were observed to be significantly greater at the higher temperature (20°C) with a rapid transition of the dominant sub-populations from non-stressed to dead cells occurred within 3 days. At 10°C the rate of culturability loss was much reduced with substantial development (approx. 80% of total population) of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) populations by all species within 3 days, declining to represent approximately 5–25% of the total population at day 60. Significant differences (P < 0·001) were identified between decay rates as a consequence of different species, sub-populations and temperature but not between sub-populations of different species. Morphological variants including spiral, elongated spirals and rods, short rods and coccoid forms were identified. The endpoints of morphological transition were temperature-independent and isolate-specific yet the rate of morphological transition was directly related to temperature and approximately equivalent between species.
Conclusion: The VBNC state is a transitory stage in the degeneration of Campylobacter population within the aquatic environments simulated during this study.
Significance and Impact of the Study: VBNC cells form the most persistent, viable, potentially pathogenic sub-population of Campylobacter populations exposed to aquatic stress conditions.

Would you swallow a spoonful of drain cleaner? Does the thought of injecting brake fluid into your arm appeal to you? Care to top off your dessert with a bit of rat poison?
These are just a few of the common ingredients used in cooking Meth. One reason behind the explosive growth in Meth labs is the availability of the components. Even though these toxins are supposedly removed from the drug during processing, shoddy, inexperienced or uncaring Meth cooks may leave traces of one or many of them in their final product.
When users smoke, inject or drink Meth, this is may be what they are sending to their brain, cardiovascular system and throughout their bodies:
Some Common Meth Ingredients:
Individually, each product is legal and useful. But when mixed together and processed, the results are deadly – to the producer, user and innocent bystanders.
- Alcohol – Gasoline additives/Rubbing Alcohol
- Ether (starting fluid)
- Benzene
- Paint thinner
- Freon
- Acetone
- Chloroform
- Camp stove fuel
- Anhydrous ammonia
- White gasoline
- Pheynl-2-Propane
- Phenylacetone
- Phenylpropanolamine
- Rock, table or Epsom salt
- Red Phosphorous
- Toluene (found in brake cleaner)
- Red Devil Lye
- Drain cleaner
- Muraitic acid
- Battery acid
- Lithium from batteries
- Sodium metal
- Ephedrine
- Cold tablets
- Diet aids
- Iodine
- Bronchodialators
- Energy boosters
- Iodine crystals
 Lab equipment – including tubing, unmarked Mason jars with tubes attached, stained coffee filters, 2-liter pop bottles, blenders, camera batteries, wooden matches, propane cylinders and hot plates – are tip offs to the production of Meth.
What is Methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine is an illegal drug in the same class as cocaine and other powerful street drugs. It has many nicknames meth, crank, chalk or speed being the most common.
Methamphetamine is inexpensive and relatively easy to produce, making it affordable and readily available.
Crystal meth, for example, is used by individuals of all ages, but is most commonly used as a club drug taken while partying in night clubs or at rave parties. Its most common street names are ice, glass, shards, or Tina.
It is a dangerous and potent chemical, and, as with all drugs, a poison that first acts as a stimulant, but then begins to systematically destroy the body. Thus it is associated with serious health conditions, including memory loss, aggression, psychotic behavior and potential heart and brain damage.
Methamphetamine is a synthetic, (man-made) chemical, unlike cocaine, for instance, which comes from a plant. Meth is commonly manufactured in illegal, hidden laboratories using various forms of amphetamine (another stimulant drug) or derivatives, mixed with other chemicals to boost its potency. Common pills such as cold remedies are often used as the basis for the production of the drug. The meth cook extracts the active ingredient in those pills, pseudoephedrine (a chemical derived from amphetamine), and combines it with dangerous or even deadly ingredients such as battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel and antifreeze to increase its strength.
Those manufacturing methamphetamine use dangerous chemicals that are potentially explosive. Because of the volatile nature of the materials they employ, and the fact that the meth cooks are drug users themselves and disoriented, they are often severely burned and disfigured or killed when their preparations explode. Such accidents endanger others in nearby homes or buildings.
The illegal laboratories create a lot of toxic waste as well the production of one pound of methamphetamine produces five pounds of waste. People exposed to this waste material can become poisoned and sick.
Highly addictive, meth burns up the bodys resources, creating a devastating dependence that can only be relieved by taking more of the drug.
Crystal meths effect is highly concentrated and many users report getting hooked (addicted) from the first time they use it. I tried it once and BOOM! I was addicted, said one meth addict who lost his family, friends, his profession as a musician and ended up homeless.
Consequently, it is one of the hardest drug addictions to treat and many die in its grip.
What Does Methamphetamine Look Like?
Methamphetamine usually comes in the form of a crystalline white powder that is odorless, bitter-tasting and it dissolves easily in water or alcohol. Other colors of powder have been observed, including brown, yellow-gray, orange and even pink. It can also be compressed into pill form. As covered earlier it can be snorted, smoked or injected. Crystal meth comes in clear chunky crystals resembling ice and is most commonly smoked.

The Deadly Effects of Meth:
The short-term and long-term impact on the individual.
When taken, meth and crystal meth create a false sense of well-being and energy, and so a person will tend to push his body faster and further than it is meant to go. Thus, drug users can experience a severe "crash†or physical and mental breakdown after the effects of the drugs wear off.
Since the continued use of the drug decreases natural feelings of hunger, users can experience extreme weight loss. Negative effects can also include disturbed sleep patterns, hyperactivity, nausea, delusions of power, increased aggressiveness and irritability.
Other worrying effects can include: insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety and paranoia. In some cases, use can cause convulsions that lead to death.
Long-Range Damage
In the long term, meth use can cause irreversible harm: increased heart rate and blood pressure, damaged blood vessels in the brain that can cause strokes or an irregular heartbeat that can, in turn, cause cardiovascular collapse or death, and liver, kidney and lung damage.
There are strong indications that users suffer brain damage, including memory impairment and an increasing inablility to grasp abstract thoughts. Those who recover are usally subject to some memory gaps and extreme mood swings.
Short-Term Effects:
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Dilation of pupils
- Panic and psychosis
- Disturbed sleep patterns
- Hallucinations, hyper-excitability, irritability
- Bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior
- Increased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature
- Excessive doses may lead to convulsions, seizures and death
Long-Term Effects:
- Psychosis
- Depression
- Severe tooth decay
- Malnutrition, weight loss
- Liver, kidney and lung damage
- Respiratory problems if smoked
- Strong psychological dependence
- Destruction of tissues in nose if sniffed
- Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion
- Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected
- Damage to the brain similar to Alzheimers disease, stroke and epilepsy
- Irreversible damage to blood vessels of heart and brain, high blood pressure leading to heart attacks, stokes and death
How Methamphetamine Affects Peoples Lives
When people take methamphetamine, it takes over their live in varying degrees. There are three categories of abuse.
Low-Intensity Meth Abuse: abusers swallow or snort methamphetamine. They want the extra stimulation methamphetamine provides so that they can stay awake long enough to finish a task or a job, or they want the appetite-suppressant effect to lose weight. They are one step away from becoming binge (meaning uncontrolled use of a substance) abusers.
Binge Meth Abuse: smoke or inject methamphetamine with a needle. This allows them to receive a more intense dose of the drug and experience a stronger rush this is psychologically addictive. They are on the verge of moving into high-intensity abuse.
High-Intensity Meth Abuse: The high-intensity abusers are the addicts, often called speed freaks. Their whole existence focuses on preventing the crash, that painful letdown after the drug high. In order to achieve the desired rush from the drug, they must take more and more of it. But as with other drugs, each successive meth high is less than the one before, urging the meth addict into a dark and deadly spiral of addiction.
The Stages of the Meth Experience
The Rush- A rush is the initial response the abuser feels when smoking or injecting methamphetamine. During the rush, the abusers heartbeat races and metabolism, blood pressure and pulse soar. Unlike the rush associated with crack cocaine, which lasts for approximately two to five minutes, the methamphetamine rush can continue for 30 minutes or longer.
The High- The rush is followed by a high, sometimes called the shoulder but more so called the peak, or peaking. During the high, the abuser often feels aggressively smarter and becomes argumentative, often interrupting other people and finishing their sentences. The delusional effects can result in a user becoming intensely focused on a mundane or inconsequential item, such as repeatedly cleaning the same window for several hours. The high can last 4-16 hours or longer depending on how much was taken or how potent the dose was that was taken.
The Binge– A binge is uncontrolled use of a drug or alcohol. It refers to the abusers urge to maintain the high by smoking or injecting more methamphetamine. The binge can last 3-15 days. During the binge, the abuser becomes hyperactive both mentally and physically. Each time the abuser smokes or injects more of the drug, he experiences another but smaller rush until, finally, there is no rush and no high.
Tweaking- A methamphetamine abuser is most dangerous when experiencing a phase of the addiction called tweaking a condition reached at the end of a drug binge when methamphetamine no longer provides a rush or a high. Unable to relieve the dreadful feelings of emptiness and craving, an abuser loses his sense of identity. Intense itching is common and a user can become convinced that bugs are crawling under his skin. Unable to sleep for days at a time, the abuser is often in a completely psychotic state and he exists in his own world, seeing and hearing things that no one else can perceive. His hallucinations are so vivid that they seem real and disconnected from reality, he can become hostile and dangerous to himself and others. The potential for self-mutilation is high.
The Crash- To a binge abuser, the crash happens when the body shuts down, unable to cope with the drug effects overwhelming it; this results in a long period of sleep for the person. Even the meanest most violent abuser becomes almost lifeless during the crash and poses a threat to no one. The crash can last one to three days.
Meth Hangover- After the crash, the abuser returns in a deteriorated state, starved, dehydrated and utterly exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. This stage ordinarily lasts between 2 and 14 days. This leads to enforced addiction, as the solution to these feelings is to take more meth.
Withdrawal– Often 30 to 90 days can pass after the last drug use before the abuser realizes that he is in withdrawal. First, he becomes depressed, loses his energy and the ability to experience pleasure. Then the craving for more methamphetamine hits, and the abuser often becomes suicidal. Since meth withdrawal is extremely painful and arduous, most abusers often revert; thus, 93% of those in traditional treatment return to abusing methamphetamine.
History of Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is not a new drug, although it has become more powerful in recent years as techniques for its manufacture have evolved.
Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 in Germany and methamphetamine, more potent and easy to make, was developed in Japan in 1919. The crystalline powder was soluble in water, making it a perfect candidate for injection.
Methamphetamine went into wide use during World War II, when both sides used it to keep troops awake. High doses were given to Japanese Kamikaze pilots before their suicide missions. And after the war, intravenous methamphetamine abuse reached epidemic proportions when supplies stored for military use became available to the Japanese public.
In the 1950's, methamphetamine was prescribed as a diet aid and to fight depression. Easily available, it was used as a non-medical stimulant by college students, truck drivers and athletes and abuse of the drug spread.
This pattern changed dramatically in the 1960's with the increased availability of inject able methamphetamine, increasing the abuse. Then, in 1970, the U.S. government criminalized it for most uses. After that, American motorcycle gangs controlled most of the production and distribution of the drug. Most users at the time lived in rural communities and could not afford the more expensive cocaine.
In the 1990's, Mexican drug trafficking organizations set up large laboratories in California. While these massive labs are able to generate 50 pounds of the substance in a single weekend, smaller private labs have sprung up in kitchens and apartments, earning the drug one of its names, stove top. From there it spread across the United States and into Europe, through the Czech Republic. Today, most of the drug available in Asia is produced in Thailand, Myanmar and China.

I'm using a android like lock screen (The one with the nine dots that you have to connect to log in) in my application currently. I'm afraid of getting a mail from google because of some patents that I didn't know. Is the android lock screen patented or can I rebuild it and use it in my application?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I've held to the advise given by Paul Graham in his essay: Are Software Patents Evil?
Just build something great and don't worry about patents.
If you knowingly infringe a patent you are liable for triple damages!
So unless you know you are close to infringing then don't bother trying to find out! You won't be sued unless you have or are about have lots of money. A patent case costs a minimum of $2.5M to pursue. So unless you have the next Instagram don't worry. It's best to be ignorant.
However, if you are actively trying to skirt an existing patent, and where you think you could be sued, then you need advice of competent patent attorney. Don't discuss the case with others, colleagues or superiors via email. Expect all emails to be reviewed by the protagonist. Mark all emails to the patent attorney as attorney- client privileged, include those words and those email can't be used against you.

This is my first attempt at dressmaking (aside from the super-easy infinity dress). It took a couple of weeks, mostly because once I had all the bias tape, clasps, etc. sewn on the first time, my husband noticed some major issues with the fit.
I have narrow shoulders, so we really struggled with getting the shoulders of the dress to fit properly. The waist was also a little too big on the first attempt, so we essentially had to tear the dress apart and start all over. My swayback really doesn't help, either (there was a lot of bunching at the back waist the first time around, but most of it has been eliminated). Hubby gets major props for helping me with the fitting process! He also did the hem, just for funsies.
Please forgive the crinoline peeking out--it hasn't been fitted properly at the waist yet and kept slipping down while I was posing. :P
All in all, I think it's very nice for a first attempt, and I love the color--it reminds me of blue saltwater taffy! I'm glad I didn't give up on this, even though it caused a lot of headaches along the way.
-- Edited on 5/21/12 10:47 PM --
Your dress looks very nice, both in fit and in color. Good job!
------Bernina 880, Creative Sensation Pro, Bernina350SE,
I love it. It's very pretty. Good for you and DH for persevering.
------"The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln
It's very pretty on you; nice fit and, yes, a really pretty color.
This could be just a beginning for you.
A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.

Great job! I love my walkaway dress.
Thanks, all.I really love it, though the amount of fabric required means it's not exactly cheap to make. I'd love to make another one with fabric scavenged from a thrift store.
Too Cute! Love it and hats off to your dear hubby! Better keep him around! :)
------Laurie Lou
You did a good job on a pattern that is notoriously more difficult than it looks. Getting the fit right with this one is a problem for most people!
It was the first dress I ever made too. I used the sewalong here. Its got some great tips on the fitting.
I still haven't sewn the closures on...apart from that its finished.
-- Edited on 5/23/12 7:17 AM --
------'The purpose of most fashion is to be ostentatiously non-functional.'
Fantastic job on the dress. It has a reputation as hard to fit. I put mine aside in frustration.
LDT2011 - thanks for the sewalong link. I am going to read through it for inspiration
