If you look at the bottom of all the posts where it says the date and time, it will only give the 'hour' of the time. For example, if I post something at 12:31 AM, it will show up as "0 AM." I was wondering what I had to change to get it to show the full time in 12-hr clock.

Origin of Stonehenge rocks discovered
Researchers in the United Kingdom have finally solved a major piece of Stonehenge's enduring mystery: the place of origin for some of the ancient structure's most-famous rock formations.
The National Museum Wales and Leicester University have identified the source as Craig Rhos-y-felin, located more than 100 miles from the Stonehenge site. But this discovery, of course, just opens on to another mystery--namely, just how and why an ancient culture carved and transported the giant stones over such a great distance.
This past year has offered a wealth of new research and discoveries at the Stonehenge site, including last month's announcement that the worshipers at the ancient monument had erected "sun worship" sites there.
Over the past nine months, the researchers compared mineral content and textural relationships of the rhyolite debitage stones found at Stonehenge and were finally able to pinpoint the location to within several meters of their source. Ninety-nine percent of the samples could be matched to the rocks found at Craig Rhos-y-felin, which differ from all others found in south Wales.
Further research should help the researchers eventually understand how the rocks made the long journey to Stonehenge sometime between 3000 and 1600 BC. "Many have asked the question over the years, how the stones got from Pembrokeshire to Stonehenge," said Dr. Richard Bevins, National Museum Wales. "Thanks to geological research, we now have a specific source for the rhyolite stones from which to work and an opportunity for archaeologists to answer the question that has been widely debated."
Some working theories speculate that the rocks were transported over water up the Bristol Channel and River Avon. However, recent efforts to recreate the voyage, including one in 2000 sponsored by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, have all ended in failure.

Inside Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani's Surprise Friendship
The Jolie-Pitts and Stefani-Rossdales are BFFs!
On Monday, Angelina Jolie and part of her brood went to Gwen Stefani's London home for a playdate. Shiloh, 5, Zahara, 6, and 3-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox were all smiles alongside Kingston Rossdale, 5.
PHOTOS: Kingston's super cute style
So how exactly do Jolie, 36, and Stefani, 41, know each other? A source tells Us Weekly that Brad Pitt has been pals with the No Doubt singer and hubby Gavin Rossdale for years. He and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston attended the couple's L.A. wedding in Sept. 2002. "They've run in the same social circle [for a long time]," adds a source.
PHOTOS: Shiloh's adorable fashion choices
When Shiloh and Kingston were born a day apart, the parents became "even better friends. "Right away they started getting [the kids] together for play dates," a source tells Us. "Brad had [the Stefani-Rossdales] up to his Santa Barbara house for the weekend."
In an interview with CNN's Sanjay Gupta last year, Jolie admitted she didn't have a lot of close friends. "I'll talk to my family," she said. "I talk to Brad [Pitt]... But I don't know. I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."
PHOTOS: More pics of Vivienne and Knox
Jolie and Pitt, 47, also welcomed Vivienne and Knox in Aug. 2008, just one month before Stefani and Rossdale, 45, had their son Zuma.
"All of the kids are very close in age. They've attended each other's birthday parties and gotten together several times at each others homes," says a source.
Over the summer, Stefani and Rossdale attended the premier of Pitt's film Tree of Life at Cannes, and now that both families are in London, a source says "it made perfect sense for all of the kids to get together for a playdate!"

U.S. Sen. Joe Biden says it is "highly unlikely" he would consider becoming secretary of state if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama were to win and offer him the post after the election.
Biden, 64, has just published a political memoir, "Promises to Keep." He said he is optimistic about his campaign even though he is running well behind the other Democratic candidates.
He said fewer than 10 percent of the party's voters have made up their mind, though he acknowledged that it will be hard for him to "break through" the lead established by the frontrunners, Clinton of New York and ...

|Cammi Granato was part of a hockey playing family growing up in Downers Grove, Ill.
Families are an important part of hockey, from the youngest levels of the game at local rinks to the NHL. Don and Natalie Granato's family was no different, except they were not from a traditional hockey development area, instead hailing from the Chicago area.
Oddly enough, Don and Natalie's first date was at a Chicago Blackhawks game.
Cammi Granato, one of the winners of the 2007 Lester Patrick Award for service to hockey in the United states, was part of a hockey playing family growing up in Downers Grove, Ill. Two of her brothers, in fact, would go on to pro careers – Tony played for the Rangers, Kings and Sharks, while Don played and coached in the minor leagues. A third brother, Rob, runs a hockey school in the Chicago area.
Cammi Granato learned to play hockey because her older brothers needed a fourth player and Cammi thought there was nothing wrong in playing hockey with the boys. After all, she was going to be a member of the Chicago Blackhawks when she grew up and her mother never discouraged her from thinking that she one day would put on a Blackhawks jersey and play at Chicago Stadium for the home team.
"I have fond memories of my youth hockey," Cammi Granato said. "I never knew I was any different than any of the boys. The only time I was, was when people started pointing it out to me. And more of the parents made a hoot out of it than the kids."
Cammi probably had it easier at the rink playing with the Downers Grove Huskies than at home playing hockey with her three brothers.
There was a Granato code among the kids: You didn't let anyone know if you got hurt in the backyard or the basement.
"That was our rule, you don't tell mom and dad or you don't play," she recalled. "I was the youngest; my older brothers and I would play down there and you don't tell mom, especially when you are the youngest. For the first seven years across the street from our house we had a frozen pond. Actually, it wasn't a pond, it was an entire field they would freeze over in the winter and it was our winter playground. So we would be out there all the time and even I remember the headlights on at night. We would get out there after it got dark and get maybe an extra game in.
"We would wear our skate guards into dinner some nights and go back out. And when we moved, we were devastated that we had lost our winter playground, so our parents let us convert our basement into a little hockey rink – no ice, but a little stick hockey, and there were some intense hockey games down there, for sure."
Cammi Granato became a really good hockey player, possibly the best women's player America ever produced, but her dream of putting on a Blackhawks uniform was not to be. By 1990, she was trying out to be part of the first U.S. Women's Hockey Team. But dreams do die hard, and Cammi played hockey with the boys until her junior year of high school. She earned a hockey scholarship to Providence College and an entrance onto the international stage.
She scored 139 goals during her college career.
"I finally realized in high school that I wasn't going to play in the NHL and that was devastating to me," she said. "But here I am playing in a 10,000-seat arena (in Ottawa) with all these other women. Every other woman shared the same dreams, the same passions and here we are playing in the World Championships."
In 1998, Granato was the captain of the U.S. women's Olympic team that won the gold medal in Nagano, Japan. The Americans beat Canada in a tight hockey game, 3-1, a game that went down to the final minute.
|In 1998, Cammi Granato was the captain of the U.S. women's Olympic team that won the gold medal in Nagano, Japan.
"When Sandra White scored the empty-goal net to make it 3-1, pandemonium erupted on the bench," Granato remembered. "There were only seconds left on the clock, maybe 15 seconds. I don't know. All I remember was pandemonium on the bench and we knew we had won. Before that we weren't breathing. The last 10 minutes, it was 2-1, it was like we had to hang on, but when she got that empty netter, I just can't even explain what it felt like. The excitement … that was something for me. I had dreamed mostly about the celebration because I had watched the 1980 (U.S. men's) team so many times celebrate and that's what you always saw when they showed the '80 team. For me to celebrate, to able to whip my stick and gloves off and jump over the bench and pile onto my teammates, that was it for me, that was unbelievable."
But the celebration was cut short because the gold medal ceremony still was to come.
"You know what, it's funny," she said. "We regrouped, then all of a sudden the emotions start to pour in and you just want to break down, but you have to hold it together because the medals are coming your way. I hadn't thought about the medal itself and all of a sudden, a tray of medals – there 20 medals – are now standing in the front and they were coming at me and I almost started hyperventilating.
"I hadn't really gone there yet. So when it went over my neck, I remember the heaviness of it. It was heavier than I ever thought and I had to show my family right away and share it with them."
The Granato family had two members on U.S. Olympic hockey teams that year. Tony was with the U.S. men's squad.
The gold medal ended up on display at Don and Natalie Granato's home because Cammi Granato didn't have a permanent residence for a long time because she was playing with the U.S. National Team and was traveling extensively. Today, the medal is in the trophy room of her home in Vancouver, where she lives with her husband, former NHL center Ray Ferraro. But it does seem kind of fitting that the medal was at Don and Natalie's house for years considering that their basement once featured the best players ever developed in Downers Grove, Ill.

Vulcans and Romulans are physiologically very similar. 3Human-1Vulcan hybrids and 3Human-1Romulan hybrids presumably are four times more similar than Vulcans and Romulans. The difference is probably subtle enough that you won't find it unless you're looking for it.
They probably don't look for it routinely, because there is no law against people of 25% Romulan blood serving in Starfleet. (Saavik was 50% Romulan and served openly in Starfleet.) Tarses lied on his application in an attempt to avoid the prejudice and suspicion with which Romulans are typically regarded, not because the truth would have kept him out of Starfleet, but because the truth would have made his life in Starfleet a lot more difficult.
I still say Tarses didn't lie. Either that, or the admissions policy is bogus, with Starfleet giving a crap what race (as opposed to species) you are. Did Sisko have to check "black" on his form?
At any rate, isn't Betazoid telepathy largely intraspecies, with linguistic communication possible only in some special cases (imzadis and such) where the "protocol" or "language" of the other person's cognitive processes has been thoroughly learned?

Saturday night, Bryan ISD officials said they were surprised with the high turnout at the polls, with the school bond being the only item on the ballot, and the rainy weather.
What they weren't surprised about was the result.
Overwhelmingly, voters voted for both propositions, which totalled $104 million. Final vote totals show 3-to-1 and 2-to-1 margins of victory respectively.
Officially, 75 percent of voters cast their ballot in favor of the first proposition, and 67 percent approved the second. Of 41,619 registered voters in Bryan, 4,303 came out to the polls.
Initial estimates show an average possible increase of $100-a-year in taxes.
Proposition 1 was the larger of the two at just under $100 million. With its passing, plans will begin for a second high school in Bryan, a fourth middle school, a new building for Bonham Elementary, and upgrades to about a dozen other campuses.
Proposition 2, slated at $5.5 million, will provide for renovations to Viking Stadium, a gymnastics facility and, possibly, a natatorium. That facility would be built at the second high school, but part of the proposition stated the city would have to take up half of the costs. BISD and city officials will begin talks soon, but Superintendent Mike Cargill said he hopes today's overwhelming win sends the message that Bryan residents want it.
"I think this is a victory for the children of Bryan, and really, it shows everybody how much we care about our children here in this school district," Cargill said Saturday night.
"People want their kids in smaller schools," said Maritza Hoffman, who headed up the Bryan Schools Tomorrow group which pushed for the bond's passage. "There's more opportunity for them to achieve academically, but there's more opportunity for them to be able to participate."

to and from the airport in Burma

First trip to Burma,
Was wondering what is the best way to get from the airport in Yangon to the hotel - and how much it should cost. Have no idea and can imagine getting fairly ripped off without knowing anything.
Also, I am only going for a week and want to see one thing other than Yangon. Was thinking Bagan - what would be the best (and most time-efficient) way to go there? And if possible. where to book the ticket. I am in Bangkok now if there are any travel agents here.
Would very much appreciate any help or advice on the above questions!

The best way is to go by a taxi. It'll cost you about US$ 7-8 for the whole taxi.
Just fly to Bagan. The bus will take you about 13 hrs. You can book the tickets at Sunfar Travel in BKK. There should be some other agents of Air Bagan. Search on the net.
Have a nice visit.

It might be hard to get a seat on a flight if you don't book a flight several days in advance.
AFAIK Yangon Air is still grounded. They stopped flying in early December and there was no news of them starting up again when I left Myanmar at the end of December.
Booking internal flights from outside Myanmar isn't very easy, but I did find one travel agent who said they could do it. Vega Travel, Sukhumvit Soi11/1, nearest skytrain is Nana. There's a Vega travel agent near the Trader Hotel in Yangon too. For some reason it's often cheaper to buy flights from a travel agent in Myanmar with the airlines themselves so it might be worth trying them. However you need to book on weekday mornings... seems the airlines have very limited office hours. I tried at 3pm and it was too late!
I just googled and found theAirBagan agents in Bangkok too.
You can google Mandalay agents. Maybe they have an office in BKK too.

Taking the overnight 13 hr bus is not bad at all, more than I expected. The trip was an interesting journey itself! I met other travellers where we end up staying at the same guest house.
I dunno about you, I learned to like taking buses more than flying. Myanmar people are friendly. On bus stops, I like the fact that I can just sit on any table and chat with the locals (that is, if they speak English). They even offer you their food!
I got to know more about their cuisine
Taking a bus gave me a little glimpse of what life is like in the countryside. I could have flown but I'd never been exposed to local (Burmese) music videos and movies. But that's me, I make lemons out of lemonade.
I even met a Chinese girl who's been living in Inle Lake who was willing to exchange my $1 bills for kyats as I was running low. An Economics grad helping out with her parents' business. Experience like this makes my travel more remarkable and meaningful.

mgb74, we share a common language so there's no need to reuse perfectly good words in surprising ways.
What you call a GG back is usually called a focusing panel. Graflok backs' focusing panels are removable, spring backs' focusing panels aren't removable, are pulled back to allow insertion of a film holder. Your Century has an integral Graflok back; you may not be familiar with spring backs.
"Graflex type backs" is a terrible neologism, in part due to Graflex Inc's (and sucessors and predecessor's) extremely confusing nomenclature. A Graflex back, strictly speaking, was standard on Graflex SLRs; a Graflex back has a fixed bar on one side of the gate and a sliding bar on the other, does not have a focusing panel.
What you seem to be thinking of is a roll holder made by Graflex Inc. (and successors). A roll holder isn't a back. It attaches to a back. Most of the rollholders that Graflex Inc. made attach to Graflok backs; the focusing panel is removed and the Graflok back's sliders hold it in place. Some, however, attach only to Graflex backs. These are marked Graflex 23. Early Graflex 23 roll holders will also attach properly to Graphic backs, later ones won't. I have both flavors.
Similar roll holders that attach to Graflokish backs are made by a number of makers, Horseman for one. I've never tried a Horseman roll holder on my Graphics, have it on good authority that the backs' edges are too thick for them to be used on Graphics.
About film flatness with roll holders that Graflex made. Some users report film flatness issues with older ones whose shells lack the pin rollers that are in newer shells but hot with the newer ones. Other users report film flatness issues with all vintages. And others still report no film flatness issues with any of them. The new type shells are marked RH- (-8 for 6x9, -10 for 6x7, -12 for 6x6), were delivered with film carriages that have advance levers. Older types, marked Graphic 23, were delivered with film carriages that have film advance knobs. There are some intermediate shells, marked Graphic 23, not RH-8, that have the pin rollers. These sit at the ends of the gate; shells with pin rollers have gates ~ 3 mm shorter than shells without. SKGrimes will add pin rollers to a Graflex roll holder's shell.
You're right about the risk that a carriage for one format can turn up in a shell with a gate for another format. These bastards can be recognized by comparing the largest number on the frame counter dial (8, 10, 12) with the gate.
You didn't mention that when Graflex folded the roll holder tooling was sold to a company called SubSea. I have a SubSea RH-8. Its frame counter goes to 8 but the counter gearing was for an RH-10 when I bought it. Armatos put the right gears in for me.

COVINGTON - Christmas gift lists aren't the only lists the Newton County Board of Education members will look at this holiday season - they also will mull over dozens of suggested names for the new elementary school on Kirkland Road near Jack Neely Road.At its combined work session and meeting last week, the board released a list of names that the Newton County School System received from the community, which it solicited in November and December. Last year when the board asked for the community's help in naming what is now South Salem Elementary and Liberty Middle schools, the school system only received about 25 suggestions, but this year's new online polling system allowed the school board to receive many more suggestions. The received names include geographic locations, political and community figures and other general names. According to online survey results, suggested names include Barack Obama Elementary School, Carroll O'Connor Elementary School, Covington Elementary School, Crossroads Elementary School, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, Evergreen Elementary School, Harvard Elementary School, Jack Neely or Neely Elementary School, Kirkland or Kirkland Road Elementary School and T.K. Adams Elementary School. "When people say the name Carol O'Conner (sic.), I think of Covington," wrote one Web site visitor. "We are experiencing (a) historical event in front of our eyes with the election of the first African-American President; and nothing will be more fitting than to name this elementary school Barack Obama Elementary School," wrote another visitor. "Mr. Ted Neely was a life-long resident to Newton County and only recently passed away," wrote another visitor. "He is from the area and farmed many years. I believe the family would be honored for such recognition." At its Jan. 13 work session, the board will discuss the names and also can suggest their own names before they narrow the list to no more than six names. At its Jan. 20 regular meeting, the board members will vote on a name for the new elementary school, which will be the county's 14th elementary school and is expected to open over the summer in time for the 2009-10 school year. All board meetings begin at 7 p.m. in the board room at the Newton BOE building located at 2109 Newton Drive N.E. in Covington. Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Herd Behavior and Epidemics
A fundamental observation about human society is that people who communicate regularly with one another think similarly. There is at any place and in any time a Zeitgeist, a spirit of the times. It is important to understand the origins of this similar thinking, so that we can judge the plausibility of theories of speculative fluctuations that ascribe price changes to faulty thinking. If the millions of people who invest were all truly independent of each other, any faulty thinking would tend to average out, and such thinking would have no effect on prices. But if less-than-mechanistic or irrational thinking is in fact similar over large numbers of people, then such thinking can indeed be the source of stock market booms and busts.
Part of the reason people's judgments are similar at similar times is that they are reacting to the same information—the information that was publicly available at that time. But, as we shall see in this chapter, rational response to public information is not the only reason that people think similarly, nor is the use of that public information always appropriate or well reasoned.

"The marijuana problem is increasingly becoming a mechanism for social control of young black and brown men in California."
"We feel that money is definitely a fine consideration," he continued. "But even if reguutf8g marijuana didn't produce a dime, these punitive, wasteful laws must end."
Gutwillig's group has estimated that legalization would save California's state and local governments $259.7 million annually in court and incarceration costs alone, a figure DPA researcher Betty Lo Dolce said is very conservative.
"I don't know if folks have a secondary offenses, so I don't know if marijuana was legalized, if they wouldn't be in state prison," Lo Dolce said. "Or conversely, if they may not have been arrested for drug-related crimes, but then those charges got dropped and they ended up inside because of secondary drug-related offense."
Bruce Mirken, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project, believes that advocates of California's Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP) should have to justify that the program does some good.
"The idea that enforcing prohibition and seizing 5.5 million plants last year would be less costly than legalizing is crazy," he said.
But what about the public health costs?
UCLA pulmonologist Dr. Donald Tashkin said that the state added marijuana smoke to its Prop. 65 list, based on finding carcinogens in that smoke. "But you cannot translate chemistry into chemical risk because you have to take into account potential opposing effects," Tashkin said.
His research has found no association between heavy marijuana use and increased risk of lung cancer and pulmonary disease. Conversely, he and Dr. Donald Abrams, a cancer researcher at UCSF, have found that THC, marijuana's main psychoactive ingredient, has an anti-tumor effect.
"The bottom line is that you cannot use pulmonary risk as a justification for not legalizing it," Tashkin said.
Dr. Igor Grant, director of medical cannabis research at UC San Diego, said the question around marijuana smoke is quantity. "It's not like cigarettes," he said. "Most people don't smoke 20 joints a day for 20 years. But even if it was declared safe for patients, you wouldn't want parents filling the room with smoke."
James Gray, an Orange County judge and a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, believes marijuana is here to stay. "Instead of moralizing and punishing people for failing on moral chastity grounds, let's manage its use," Gray said. "If people are using it, they should be able to know what's in it."
The most harmful thing about marijuana, Gray contends, is jail. "The remedy is far more dangerous than the disease itself," he said. "There are thousands of people in prison because they did nothing but smoke pot, and a dirty drug test was a violation of their parole.... But I understand that some people in law enforcement stand to lose a great deal, and that the Mexican cartels are going to invest a lot of money in Madison Avenue advertising."
Lee, too, acknowledges the opposition, but remains hopeful. "People are coming out of the closet," he said. "That's what caused the gay rights movement to take off. It's starting to happen around marijuana use."

Every Drop Counts
Freshwater rivers and streams sustain our communities by providing drinking and irrigation water, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and more. While it may seem like an abundant resource, the amount of fresh water available to us is smaller than you might think. During periods of dry weather and drought - the conditions that more than 80 percent of the western United States are facing now – some rivers and streams may disappear altogether.
Viewer Tip: Remember that every drop counts. Check out these quick and easy ways to save water in the kitchen and bathroom.
- Fill up the sink basin when hand-washing dishes. Soak pots and pans rather than letting the water run to get them clean.
- Only run the dishwasher with a full load. Dishwashers typically use less water than washing by hand.
- Cut down on garbage disposal use by composting fruit and vegetable food waste.
- Shave 2 minutes off your shower time to save up to 150 gallons per month.
- Don't use the toilet as a trash can. Drop tissues in the trash instead of flushing them.
- Look for and fix faucet and showerhead leaks. Just one drip per second can add up to five gallons per day.
If you're in the market for new appliances or bathroom fixtures, look for the WaterSense label. WaterSense-labeled products are at least 20 percent more efficient than average products in their category and perform as well or better.

Insulation: The Invisible Hero for Climate ChangeThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its final report on the latest science on climate change, which says that there is clear evidence that at least part of the problem is caused by humans.
An Article in McKinsey Quarterly -"A Cost Curve for Green House-Gas Reduction" -says that almost quarter of possible emission reductions would result from measures that carry no net life-cycle cost (such as better insulation in buildings); in effect, they come free of charge.
By Jared Blum
Every building owner understands the value of building codes in creating minimally accepted performance standards for the nation's building stock.
For the first time in more than 18 years, the Atlanta-based American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has proposed increases to the minimum required roof- and wall-insulation levels in Standard 90.1 (the national model energy code for commercial buildings). The above-deck roof insulation requirements currently at R-15 would go to R-20 - a 33-percent increase in roof-insulation levels. Similar increases are proposed for walls.
Of greatest significance is the Standard 90.1 committee approval of these proposed changes for the next version of the code. Acceptance by the ASHRAE Board of Directors is expected this month. It is anticipated that the ASHRAE board will adopt these new values because the board charged the 90.1 committee with delivering a new commercial-building energy standard by 2010 that is 30-percent more efficient than the 2004 version.
The actual changes are climate-zone and building-type specific. The ASHRAE standard has various performance-compliance mechanisms, from prescriptive requirements to computer simulations and trade-offs. But, regardless of the code-compliance approach used, these new insulation values establish a new benchmark for commercial-building energy efficiency.
In all climate zones, insulation can dramatically help reduce cooling loads and lower energy costs. This is predicated on existing ASHRAE requirements and independent analysis that concludes that additional roof insulation is cost effective, saves energy, and reduces pollution and carbon emissions.
In many ways, these new insulation levels are long overdue. Building owners and architects across the country are already installing insulation at levels that exceed these values. Those professionals seeking "beyond-code" recognitions (such as LEED, Green Globes, ENERGY STAR®, Building America, etc.) will now go even further to deliver advanced building envelopes.
Once approved by the ASHRAE board, these new values will represent a new national standard against which all codes will be compared. Architects, specifiers, and other certifying professionals will have a new standard of care to meet regarding commercial-building energy efficiency.
This ASHRAE standard addresses building envelope and system requirements for commercial buildings, residential buildings higher than 3 stories, and semi-conditioned buildings (warehouses, etc.). It is the nation's model standard for establishing the energy-performance requirements of these building types.
For building owners who are not content with minimum energy performance, this newly enhanced standard is good news.
