Article Summary
When blind people are trying to navigate the city streets, they can get assistance from a speaking GPS-enabled smartphone, just like everyone else. Once they move indoors and lose access to the required satellite signals, however, it's a different story. While there are some indoor navigation systems that require things like radio-frequency tags to be strategically placed around the building, it's currently unrealistic to expect to find such systems installed in many places. The University of Nevada, Reno's experimental new Navatar system, on the other hand, just requires a smartphone loaded up with a digital two-dimensional map of the building in question.

C.S. Lewis, if he's watching from Heaven and waiting for the wildly popular return of Indiana Jones to come out on DVD, can only chuckle with the angels about what might have been if Harrison Ford had played "Prince Caspian" instead of the remarkably talented, perfectly convincing—but much lesser known—Ben Barnes.
Actually there are fair parallels between this box office battle and the recently-concluded political duel between presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and former candidate Mike Huckabee.
The former governor of Arkansas stormed out of the gate fast, winning Iowa a week before McCain won New Hampshire—and by an even larger margin. Caspian's $55 million opening weekend was gold by Hollywood standards—a week before the reprisal of Ford's role as the loveable adventurer more than doubled that gross before the Memorial Day Monday.
Huckabee's humility, hopeful messages and self-deprecating humor are unmistakably rooted in his Christian beliefs, while McCain's pro-life and traditional marriage positions could be viewed as politically expedient. Likewise, the unassuming Prince Caspian and the charming characters he surrounds himself with are unmistakably committed to the conquering of evil, while Indiana Jones seems committed only to the prize that awaits him at journey's end.
As was the case eight years ago when McCain figured to be George W. Bush's biggest nuisance en route to the Republican nomination, the Arizona senator remains a favorite among mainstream media. Likewise, a movie like "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (especially with Harrison Ford as this summer's Hollywood god) is going to naturally appeal to entertainment reporters hell-bent on glamorizing the superficial while ignoring Christian-friendly film like "Prince Caspian."
In a post-modern pop culture like ours, what hope has a movie for genuine critical acclaim when the most reliable fans will be church-goes hungry for a family-friendly film with neither foul language nor gratuitous violence? Indeed, what hope did Huckabee have in an almost endless campaign season wherein even a wayward hiccup can cause a negative news cycle complemented by countless hours of hyper-analysis?
The answer to both questions is the same: virtually none.
Like Huckabee's, Prince Caspian's charm and charisma are immediately contagious. Like McCain, Indiana Jones has had a long and successful run as a straight-talking underdog, capped off by one last hurrah.
Although the voice of Aslan the Lion belongs to Liam Neeson, there are no readily recognizable faces in Narnia. With the exception of Chuck Norris, the same was true of the Huckabee campaign.

Lyrical ballads/Volume 2/The Idle Shepherd-Boys, or Dungeon-Gill Force
The IDLE SHEPHERD-BOYS,
The valley rings with mirth and joy,
Among the hills the Echoes play
A never, never ending song
To welcome in the May.
The Magpie chatters with delight;
The mountain Raven's youngling Brood
Have left the Mother and the Nest,
And they go rambling east and west
In search of their own food,
Or thro' the glittering Vapors dart
In very wantonness of Heart.
Beneath a rock, upon the grass,
Two Boys are sitting in the sun;
It seems they have no work to do
Or that their work is done.
On pipes of sycamore they play
The fragments of a Christmas Hymn,
Or with that plant which in our dale
We call Stag-horn, or Fox's Tail
Their rusty Hats they trim:
And thus as happy as the Day,
Those Shepherds wear the time away.
Along the river's stony marge
The sand-lark chaunts a joyous song;
The thrush is busy in the Wood,
And carols loud and strong.
A thousand lambs are on the rocks,
All newly born! both earth and sky
Keep jubilee, and more than all,
Those Boys with their green Coronal,
They never hear the cry,
That plaintive cry! which up the hill
Comes from the depth of Dungeon-Gill.
Said Walter, leaping from the ground,
"Down to the stump of yon old yew
I'll run with you a race."—No more—
Away the Shepherds flew.
They leapt, they ran, and when they came
Right opposite to Dungeon-Gill,
Seeing, that he should lose the prize,
"Stop!" to his comrade Walter cries—
James stopp'd with no good will:
Said Walter then, "Your task is here,
'Twill keep you working half a year.
Till you have cross'd where I shall cross,
Say that you'll neither sleep nor eat."
James proudly took him at his word,
But did not like the feat.
It was a spot, which you may see
If ever you to Langdale go:
Into a chasm a mighty Block
Hath fallen, and made a bridge of rock;
The gulph is deep below,
And in a bason black and small
Receives a lofty Waterfall.
With staff in hand across the cleft
The Challenger began his march;
And now, all eyes and feet, hath gain'd
The middle of the arch.
When list! he hears a piteous moan—
Again! his heart within him dies—
His pulse is stopp'd, his breath is lost,
He totters, pale as any ghost,
And, looking down, he spies
A Lamb, that in the pool is pent
Within that black and frightful rent.
The Lamb had slipp'd into the stream,
And safe without a bruise or wound
The Cataract had borne him down
Into the gulph profound.
His dam had seen him when he fell,
She saw him down the torrent borne;
And while with all a mother's love
She from the lofty rocks above
Sent forth a cry forlorn,
The Lamb, still swimming round and round
Made answer to that plaintive sound.
When he had learnt, what thing it was,
That sent this rueful cry; I ween,
The Boy recover'd heart, and told
The sight which he had seen.
Both gladly now deferr'd their task;
Nor was there wanting other aid—
A Poet, one who loves the brooks
Far better than the sages' books,
By chance had thither stray'd;
And there the helpless Lamb he found
By those huge rocks encompass'd round.
He drew it gently from the pool,
And brought it forth into the light:
The Shepherds met him with his charge
An unexpected sight!
Into their arms the Lamb they took,
Said they, "He's neither maim'd nor scarr'd"—
Then up the steep ascent they hied
And placed him at his Mother's side;
And gently did the Bard
Those idle Shepherd-boys upbraid,
And bade them better mind their trade.
- ↑ Gill in the dialect of Cumberland and Westmoreland is a short and for the most part a steep narrow valley, with a stream running through it. Force is the word universally employed in these dialects for Waterfall.

Restoration Project
Conservation and restoration of the historic building was key to the Beaney project.
Highlights include:
- Replacement of exterior woodwork damaged by death-watch beetle, including re-carving of one of the pair of griffins guarding either side of the High Street entrance doorway (new wood has been left unstained and will weather and darken over time)
- Repair of Italian terrazzo flooring, made of coloured marble fragments and including swirling patterns and Canterbury coat of arms
- Removal of partitions to reveal the original beauty and scale of the historic staircase and rooms
- Restoration of the illuminated ceiling in the purpose-built 1934 picture gallery with lighting simulating daylight
- Creation of new wooden doors, brass door handles and door plates in the same style as historic ones
Archaeological Finds
Before construction began the Canterbury Archaeological Trust excavated the site, revealing fascinating evidence of past occupation. The Beaney was known to have been constructed over part of the Roman Forum and one of the principal roads. A metalled road surface was found, together with a masonry building thought to be a tavern, a jewellery workshop, the bone-strewn floor and ovens of fast-food stalls, and a burnt-down Roman building with a gold bracelet hidden under the floor. Bone artefacts were uncovered from Norman times, and a range of broken bottles and clay pipes from medieval and later inns were found discarded in a cesspit. Also, fine stoneware tankards decorated with names and inn-signs. One, dated 1749, carries a relief of dragon-slayer St George and the inscribed name of innkeeper Henry Saffory: the 'George and Dragon Inn' was demolished to make way for the Beaney.
Public artArt and craft were central to the original Beaney and new work has been commissioned as part of the restoration project.
Windows by Laura Thomas, with richly coloured open-weave threads in glass, mark the transition between old and new building at the heart of the Beaney between The Kitchen and Atrium. They were commissioned through the Museumaker programme supported by Arts Council England, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and the Renaissance programme. Further information about Laura Thomas at http://www.laurathomas.co.uk/
Kaleidoscopes by Anna Heinrich and Leon Palmer are located throughout the Beaney, offering ever-changing and playful views on rooms and displays. Commissioned and funded by Canterbury City Council and Kent County Council. Further information about Heinrich & Palmer at http://www.heinrichpalmer.co.uk/

This final story about the Donovan siblings will appeal to those who like tales with explicit sex and little love or romance. The hero struggles to embrace a life separate from his siblings. The heroine seems to want to please her father, yet goes out of her way to pursue a career she knows won't. In the end, one is left wondering what these two have to build a future on besides sex.
Beth Cantrell, manager of an erotic boutique, believes she had a close encounter with brewery owner Jamie Donovan six months ago. Though she fantasized about him, she never thought she'd see him again. However, she doesn't know that it wasn't playboy Jamie she met, but his older brother, Eric, staid and serious, and facing an emotional crisis now that his sister and brother are taking on more responsibility in the business. When they do come together again, the sparks fly, but will an occasional sexual encounter be enough to satisfy them? (HQN, Nov., 336 pp., $7.99)

Statutory Presumption, More on Statutes of Limitations, and the Concept of "Closely Regulated Industries"
Sikora, Vincent A., Journal of Environmental Health
Onsite sewage disposal systems occasionally fail, or they may be dangerous because of their location. A sewage system failure may present a contact danger for adults and children, create a breeding place for flies and mosquitoes, cause odors, or result in surface water or groundwater contamination. A goal of all environmental health programs is to eliminate such failures.
A failed onsite sewage system may, however, be difficult to identify. If a failure results in surface ponding, it is relatively easy to locate by sight or odor. The difficulty in identification occurs in situations when the sewage never rises to the surface and is discharging directly into the groundwater. Failures may be proven by a disease outbreak, dye testing, or extensive groundwater sampling. The first case discussed in this month's column, from Wisconsin, used another method to prove a failure--through average groundwater elevations and a statutory presumption.
Case 2 involves onsite sewage disposal in Texas. Homeowners sued the county and two environmental health inspectors for negligence in allowing construction of their house and onsite sewage disposal system in a flood plain.
The third case is from Minnesota. It concerns a citation issued for refusal to allow a boat to be inspected for sport fish. Although the case involved a proposed inspection by a wildlife officer rather than an environmental health officer, it is discussed here because it concerned the exception to the Fourth Amendment for "closely regulated" industries, which might apply to food establishment and other environmental health inspections.
Case #1: Conviction for Illegal Onsite System Upheld (1)
A home on an island in the Sawyer Harbor area of the Town of Nasewaupee, Wisconsin, had been constructed in the 1940s, and used a well and an onsite sewage disposal system. As part of a survey to identify failing or failed sewage disposal systems, the Door County sanitarian, John Teichtler, and assistant sanitarian, Chris Olson, obtained information from the Corps of Engineers about the average elevation of Lake Michigan (578.4 feet mean sea level [MSL]). Since the home was on an island, it was believed that the groundwater elevation would be the same as the lake level. Teichtler and Olson then determined that the island home's onsite sewage disposal system (elevation 579.5 feet MSL) was less than 2 feet above the average lake water level. No water or soil samples were collected, no soil evaluations were made, no dye tests were performed, no infrared photographs were taken, and no wells were installed.
On the basis of the elevations of the lake and sewage system, the environmental health department issued an enforcement order to the homeowner to replace the system. After receiving a time extension, the homeowner still failed to replace the system. The department issued the homeowner a citation for violating the county ordinance.
The trial court found the homeowner guilty of owning and operating a failing sewage disposal system. The homeowner appealed. An appellate court does not decide if it would have delivered the same verdict as the trial court. It reviews the evidence presented at the trial court to determine if there is any credible evidence to sustain the judgment. Since the appellate court reviews only the typed transcript of the trial, witness credibility is for the trial court to decide. After a trial, the evidence, unless patently incredible, is viewed by the appellate court in the light most favorable to the judgement.
During the trial, the homeowner complained that the sanitarians' conclusions were unsupported because they were based on estimates instead of actual measurements. Indeed, the homeowner produced a laboratory sample report showing his well water was bacteriologically safe and photographs of a test pit showing that his sewage disposal system was over 3 feet above the groundwater. …

After a false start last month, Sarah Palin is again set to headline a May 2 fundraiser in metro Denver.
This time, the former Alaska governor, vice presidential candidate and reality-television personality is scheduled to speak at "Tribute to the Troops with Sarah Palin" at Colorado Christian University.
John Andrews, who leads the Centennial Institute think tank at the Lakewood college, said the school has a signed contract for the event and is prepared to deal with any publicity — positive or negative — that the conservative star might bring with her.
"Her staff has told us to expect an interesting ride, in terms of static," Andrews said. "We know what's down that road, and we are eager to go there."
On Feb. 4, the Sharon K. Pacheco Foundation announced that Palin would be the featured speaker at a May 2 benefit in Glendale for military families but canceled the event less than 48 hours later, blaming threats and negative feedback.
Area law enforcement agencies said they were unaware of such threats. The Pacheco Foundation could not be reached for further comment. Financial records for the organization showed assets of less than $2,500 for 2009.
Tickets for the event at Glendale's Infinity Park Center were priced at $185 but were quickly slashed to half that.
Andrews said the Tea Party icon will not receive a speaking fee for her appearance at CCU. Palin's fee sometimes exceeds $100,000, the Washington Speaker's Bureau said last month.
Andrews said he doesn't think security concerns derailed the Pacheco Foundation event and that Colorado came off "not looking great" because of a "perception that someone important could be chased away.
"Certainly, there is a warm welcome for her on our campus," Andrews said.
The May 2 date coincides with the scheduled Republican presidential candidates' debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.
That event, to be moderated by Politico editor John Harris and NBC news anchor Brian Williams, is billed as the kickoff to the race for the 2012 GOP nomination for president.
Andrews said he knew of the scheduled debate but didn't think Palin would attend it.
"Presumably, this means she will be doing (the fundraiser) instead of any other engagement on the second," Andrews said.
Although the date for the debate is set, none of the likely Republican candidates is yet confirmed for attendance, said Melissa Giller, director of communications at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation.
All ticket proceeds from Palin's Lakewood appearance will support the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a national nonprofit group benefiting the families of fallen soldiers, Andrews said.
Andrews said the fact that Palin's eldest son is a veteran made her a great choice for the event. Track Palin served in Iraq in 2008-2009.
Despite the circumstances of Palin's last planned visit to the Mile High City, Andrews said her political stances shouldn't be the focus.
"It's not a political day," Andrews said. "It's a day to honor our armed forces."

$25 tickets to "Tribute to the Troops with Sarah Palin" are on sale at Colorado Christian University's website. There are about 1,000 seats available.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Momentarily, Capers had Leon Lett nightmare
Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers was pleased on the front of the play in the NFC title game when nose tackle B.J. Raji dropped in coverage intercepted a pass from Bears quarterback Caleb Hanie and ran toward the end zone with his prize.
But Capers told Houston radio station KILT-AM (610) he became concerned when Raji held the ball out before reaching the goal line. Raji did a dance after he scored.
"Well I was doing a little dance because I was real nervous when I saw him stick the ball out there on the 10 yard line and I saw that quarterback coming to strip it," Capers said. "All I could think about was Don Beebe and Leon Lett back a few years ago (Super Bowl XXVII). No, that was one, when you draw them up sometimes, you hope certain things happen, and that one kind of played right into our hands because we had played the Bears in the last regular season game, and we had blitzed (Charles) Woodson a whole lot in that game, and we knew they'd be prepared for it. So we decided to blitz our corners a little bit more and have B.J. Raji just try to use up a block and pop out into the throwing lane. And he did and the young quarterback didn't see him, and it worked out well for us."
Capers compared Packers cornerback Charles Woodson to a player he had when he was with the Steelers, who shares both a position and a last name with Green Bay's leader on defense, Rod Woodson.
"When Charles Woodson first came in and I watched him play, and you're sitting there and evaluating your talent, he reminded me so much of another Woodson that I had back in Pittsburgh in the early '90s — Rod Woodson," Capers said. "Basically if you would go back and put on tape of the Steelers back in '92 to '94 and you put on our tape here, you could see that we use these two guys almost exactly the same. Rod Woodson was the player of the year back in '93, and Charles Woodson was the player of the year last year."

President Obama has come under fire recently for promises about the Affordable Care Act. The President repeatedly assured doubters that under the Affordable Care Act, Americans would be able to keep their existing health insurance. As a growing number of Americans receive cancellation notices from their insurance companies, many are describing this promise as misleading, if not an outright lie. These cancellation notices are particularly infuriating to young people, who are now forced to subsidize the health care of older, more affluent Americans.
In a speech defending the law on Wednesday, the President attempted to shift the blame for these cancellations on "bad apple insurers." This claim ignores the fact that these cancellation notices are the result of insurance companies simply complying with the Affordable Care Act. The Obama administration is depending on "young invincibles" to enroll in health insurance plans to make the law a success, but young people would be wise to consider the misleading nature of the administration's claims.
During Congress' debate of the Affordable Care Act and the resulting political aftermath, one of President Obama's most persistent claims was that people who were happy with their health insurance would be able to keep it. In an address to the American Medical Association on June 15, 2009, the President stated, "If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period." The President planted this straightforward stake in the ground, with no caveats.
As the law has gradually taken effect, this has proven untrue. According to CBS News, more than 2 million Americans are losing their health insurance plans because of the Affordable Care Act.

Demo Dec 29, 2012 7:34 PM
in response to Maxi97520
For the Solitaire App issue...
Quit the Solitaire app completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
For the sound issue ....
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Conference Paper: Thermomechanical architecture of the VIS focal plane for Euclid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One of the main challenges for current and near future space experiments is the increase of focal plane complexity in terms of amount of pixels. In the frame work of the ESA Euclid mission to be launched in 2020, the Euclid Consortium is developing an extremely large and stable focal plane for the VIS instrument. CEA has developed the thermomechanical architecture of that Focal Plane taking into account all the very stringent performance and mission related requirements. The VIS Focal Plane Assembly integrates 36 CCDs (operated at 150K) connected to their front end electronics (operated at 280K) as to obtain one of the largest focal plane (∼0.6 billion pixels) ever built for space application after the GAIA one. The CCDs are CCD273 type specially designed and provided by the e2v company under ESA contract, front end electronics is studied and provided by MSSL. In this paper we first recall the specific requirements that have driven the overall architecture of the VIS-FPA and especially the solutions proposed to cope with the scientific needs of an extremely stable focal plane, both mechanically and thermally. The mechanical structure based on SiC material used for the cold sub assembly supporting the CCDs is detailed. We describe also the modular architecture concept that we have selected taking into account AIT-AIV and programmatic constraints.

ABSTRACT: The NIP is a near infrared imaging photometer that is currently under investigation for the Euclid space mission in context of ESA's 2015 Cosmic Vision program. Together with the visible camera (VIS) it will form the basis of the weak lensing measurements for Euclid. The NIP channel will perform photometric imaging in 3 near infrared bands (Y, J, H) covering a wavelength range from ~ 0.9 to 2 üm over a field of view (FoV) of ~ 0.5 deg2. With the required limiting point source magnitude of 24 mAB (5 sigma) the NIP channel will be used to determine the photometric redshifts of over 2 billion galaxies collected over a wide survey area of 20 000 deg2. In addition to the photometric measurements, the NIP channel will deliver unique near infrared (NIR) imaging data over the entire extragalactic sky, enabling a wide variety of ancillary astrophysical and cosmological studies. In this paper we will present the results of the study carried out by the Euclid Imaging Consortium (EIC) during the Euclid assessment phase.
Article: The data handling unit of the Euclid imaging channels: from the observational requirements to the unit architecture[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Euclid Imaging Channels Instrument of the Euclid mission is designed to study the weak gravitational lensing cosmological probe. The combined Visible and Near Infrared imaging channels will be controlled by a common data handling unit (PDHU), implementing onboard the instrument digital interfaces to the satellite. The PDHU main functionalities include the scientific data acquisition and compression, the instrument commanding and control and the instrument health monitoring. Given the high data rate and the compression needs, an innovative architecture, based on the use of several computing and interface modules, considered as building blocks of a modular design will be presented.
Article: Manufacturing and verification of ZnS and Ge prisms for the JWST MIRI imager - art. no. 701823[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is designed to meet the JWST science requirements for mid-IR capabilities and includes an Imager MIRIM provided by CEA (France). A double-prism assembly (DPA) allows MIRIM to perform low-resolution spectroscopy. The MIRIM DPA shall meet a number of challenging requirements in terms of optical and mechanical constraints, especially severe optical tolerances, limited envelope and very high vibration loads. The University of Cologne (Germany) and the Centre Spatial de Liege (Belgium) are responsible for design, manufacturing, integration, and testing of the prism assembly. A companion paper (Fischer et al. 2008) is presenting the science drivers and mechanical design of the DPA, while this paper is focusing on optical manufacturing and overall verification processes. The first part of this paper describes the manufacturing of Zinc-sulphide and Germanium prisms and techniques to ensure an accurate positioning of the prisms in their holder. (1) The delicate manufacturing of Ge and ZnS materials and (2) the severe specifications on the bearing and optical surfaces flatness and the tolerance on the prism optical angles make this process innovating. The specifications verification is carried out using mechanical and optical measurements; the implemented techniques are described in this paper. The second part concerns the qualification program of the double-prism assembly, including the prisms, the holder and the prisms anti-reflective coatings qualification. Both predictions and actual test results are shown.

ABSTRACT: Based on its experience of space application instrument and its development of cryomechanism for astronomical ground based instrument VLT / VISIR, CEA Saclay is proposing a new concept of Space Cryomechanism. This design is based on VLT/VISIR cryo-mechanism design adapted to space requirements taking into account all the specification of space environment (vibrations at launch, cryogenic vacuum, materials, radiations, ...). The original concept of the design is based on the association of the key elements: a dog-clutch with Hirth teeth jaws coupled to a step-by-step space qualified cryo-motor, a bellows that allows for separation of indexing and rotating functions, and enlarged bearings design in "O" arrangement that increase robustness to vibration. The actuator has 360 steady positions that can be reached within les than a second with repeatability of 5 arcsec peak to peak. After a presentation of the details of the concept and of its benefits to robustness to space environment, the paper describes the thoroughly qualification program of the cryo-mechanism with respect to space requirements (cryo-cycling, indexing accuracy, power consumption, heat dissipation, motorisation margins, vibrations). This cryo-mechanism may be built in 3 different sizes for wheels up to 10 kg.

ABSTRACT: The development program of the flight model imaging camera for the PACS instrument on-board the Herschel spacecraft is nearing completion. This camera has two channels covering the 60 to 210 microns wavelength range. The focal plane of the short wavelength channel is made of a mosaic of 2x4 3-sides buttable bolometer arrays (16x16 pixels each) for a total of 2048 pixels, while the long wavelength channel has a mosaic of 2 of the same bolometer arrays for a total of 512 pixels. The 10 arrays have been fabricated, individually tested and integrated in the photometer. They represent the first filled arrays of fully collectively built bolometers with a cold multiplexed readout, allowing for a properly sampled coverage of the full instrument field of view. The camera has been fully characterized and the ground calibration campaign will take place after its delivery to the PACS consortium in mid 2006. The bolometers, working at a temperature of 300 mK, have a NEP close to the BLIP limit and an optical bandwidth of 4 to 5 Hz that will permit the mapping of large sky areas. This paper briefly presents the concept and technology of the detectors as well as the cryocooler and the warm electronics. Then we focus on the performances of the integrated focal planes (responsivity, NEP, low frequency noise, bandwidth). Comment: 12 pages, 14 figures. To appear in Proc. SPIE 6265, "Space Telescopes and Instrumentation I", 2006 May 24-31, Orlando, Florida USA (6265-11). Higher resolution of the article available on demand (email nbillot at cea.fr)

A Water Adept, although her Magic is not as powerful as her brother she makes up for it with her strength and speed--despite her size and built. Her Double-Ended Sword is heavy and strong, attacking the opponents as quick as possible and causing the most damage in a variety of moves.
Determined | Headstrong | Goal-Oriented | Obedient | Caring | Protective | Brash | Loyal
Goal-Oriented and determined are an understatement for Artie, for she'll push to her furthest point to do what she has to go to get where she has to go. She is well disciplined under orders and commands as well as obedient. Her deep drive to redeem her family name as the older sibling of her family drives her to push herself further--to prove herself and her family that they can rise again from the ashes.
When it comes to people she loves, Artie is completely devoted as well as protective. She puts her brother and family before anyone else and anyone who becomes someone she truly cares for will be the same. Selfless--she worries about her brother's well-being before her own and would die for him if needed be. She can be a mother hen at times, but it is only because she cares deeply for the few that she will actually allow inside her heart to love.
Eislers had always been rather well known for their light skin, hair and eyes during their generation--and because of this many of the Melruun citizens talked about them and gossipped. Finally, after having enough of these rumors the youngest son of one generation decided he might as well give these people what they wanted and joined the ranks of the Riders to ride dragons, or "ghosts" as Melruuns believed. They weren't particularly famous or well known but that was how the Eisler line of Knights began until some generations go in the midst of war an Eisler Rider was found delivering information to the opposite side. Being that the Knights value honor and loyalty--shame came upon the family as well as death to the traitor. Eislers withdrew from the Knights in shame for what a member of their family had done until two generations ago when Artie's grandfather decided to clear the Eisler's name. Returning to the Knights was in no way smooth or easy--and his period was cut short as he died in battle--was what the family was told. Her father followed soon after and joined as well, but his duty was also cut short when 6 years old Artie discovered her father had also died in battle. Little Artie did not understand the concept quite well, but she had a feeling something was not right.
Artie was the older of the two children. She had always been rather rough around the edges and tough as well as reliable towards her little brother and her grandmother. Ever since what happened to her grandfather and father--and knowing the history of her family line Artie had sworn to join the ranks of the Knights to follow the path that her father and grandfather did--to redeem her family of the traitor name that was passed down. Her light skin and eyes had for a very long time during her childhood caused her grief--and to her, her hair represents the sin that was passed down from the traitor in their family. With the loss of her father and her mother walking out on them after constant verbal abuse from their grandmother--Artie took up the responsibility to renew their name with determination. She knew what she was getting into and would do anything to fix the 'sin' that exists right on her head.
Because she lack a mentor figure who could train her, her grandmother went out of her way to ask a family member from grandmother's side of the family to train Artie in the arts of fighting. Because he was also a Knight, his dislike for their family was present--and intentionally picked a weapon that is more difficult for a girl her size. Training was torturous but Artie pulled through and proved to him that she was not the seed of the traitor blood, and she gained his respect for her as a fighter.
However, Artie's other reason was that if anything were to happen she'd rather it was her than her little brother. She'd rather that she forever becomes a soldier of the Knights to serve and give up her life for them so that in the end, Eislers can finally have a peaceful family life--so that her little brother can have a normal peaceful life. So when her little brother decided to join the ranks with her it was much to her disagreement but his determination was undeniable and she knew well--she could never say no. So now her goal consists of erasing the bad name from her family as well as ensuring that her little brother's future will be happy and safe.
Weisses Blut - The name derives from 'White Blood', in reference to white blood cells that will 'eat' the foreign cell. Defensive skill, can create water spheres in mid air that will 'wrap' or 'surround' itself around the incoming physical attack, and it pushes/deflects the attack away from her.
Speerspitze - 'Spear Tip', fast moving Water shaped Spear tips she can conjur as she swings her weapon and they send Water Spears out to crash right into the opponent and into any object attack.
Kalter Sturm - named 'Cold Storm', An eye of a storm forms around her as protection--as she concentrates the water and freezes it, making it rain small to medium sized Ice Shards down in a 60 feet radius for 20 seconds, causing fatal wounds.

The David Whitney Bequest
It takes a great artist to create excitement; it takes a great collector to make that chatter into a movement. David Whitney, who died in 2005, helped shape pop art as a curator, writer and collector. His social and professional circle (often one and the same) included Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and, of course, Whitneys near-lifelong partner, the modernist architect Philip Johnson. Warhol even created a silk-screen portrait of Whitney, a piece shown in the Menil Collections The David Whitney Bequest. The show includes drawings and prints by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and Claes Oldenburg, but the centerpiece is a group of 17 drawings by Johns, including studies for his famous flag and target paintings of the 50s.
Wednesdays-Sundays, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Starts: May 11. Continues through Oct. 28, 2007

Dark Reading reports on Security Industry Association (SIA) concerns that proposed legislation in Alaska to restrict the use of biometric technology could "ultimately result in the use of less secure identity solutions." The bill, proposed by Alaska Sen. Bill Wielechowski, would make it illegal for individuals, other than law enforcement and those authorized in state or federal law, to "retain or analyze, or disclose or distribute to another person, biometric information on an individual without first obtaining the informed and written consent of the individual." SIA CEO Richard Chace wrote to Wielechowski that the federal government is implementing an identity management program that relies on biometric technology, the report states, arguing it is an important tool in proving people are who they say they are.

Get ready for the cold, with some menswear staples from YMC aka You Must Create, a British label that has (very) slowly made a name for themselves since their inception in London almost 20 years ago. Although we usually see the letters 'YMC' followed by 'MB' nowadays, let's not forget about this English brand that is currently producing some amazing shirts, jackets and crew necks.
You can find them at END.
