The police officer who stopped a man on a shooting rampage in a North Carolina nursing home says he first thought the emergency call was a misunderstanding, but knew it was serious when he saw a car with shattered windows in the parking lot.
Carthage police Officer Justin Garner told NBC's "Today" show on Monday he was scared before he confronted 45-year-old Robert Stewart inside Pinelake Health and Rehab in Carthage on March 29.
The 25-year-old Garner went into the building alone, confronting Stewart when the two saw each in the hallways. Garner shot Stewart in the shoulder after telling him three times to drop his weapon, and Garner was hit twice in the leg.
Eight people were killed. Stewart's estranged wife was working at the nursing home. She survived.

23-25 weekers- how long did it take for you lil one to come off vent for good?
My 25 and 6ers spent 5 days, 18 days and 27 days on the oscillating and conventional vents before they were finally able to be moved to cpap. My little guy that spent 27 days on the vent was intially put on a cpap peep of 12 (!) but we were gradually able to bring that down.
Hang in there, momma. For these little ones it just takes time, and sometimes much more time than we would like.
Mom to Grace (1lb 14 oz), Addison (2lbs 1 oz) and Noah (2lbs 4 oz) My 25.6 week miracles!
After 94 days in the NICU, my triplets came HOME on May 30!
Goodluck! Time and growth will help your lo tremendously! I know i hated that being the answer but its true!
A born & died on 12/16/11 at 20 weeks // B born on 8/31/12 at 23 wks&1 day, home after 145 in the NICU!
Hello! I had a 23w6d baby last year in January. She was on the vent for 3 weeks (took 2 different attempts to change to cpap), cpap for 4 weeks, nasal cannula for 6 weeks before going home on O2 for 3 months. She's completely healthy now and is caught up to her actual age of one year old. Like PP said, hang in there mama! These little ones are strong! You might find it helpful to read a post I did about 6 months ago for moms of 23-26 weekers.
DD1, 1/2012 (23w6d, 1lb 9oz, due to IC) My miracle baby!
DD2, 12/2014 (39w4d) My cerclage baby!
26 weeker - it took him close to 10 weeks to come off the vent, and then it only happened because we did a round of steroids and the strats all aligned in perfect position. It took many more weeks and another round of steriods to get him down to low flow after that as well. I was also able to get the two steroid shots 4 days before he was born. Seeing how hard it already was, I would never want to see what it would have been like without those shots...
DS didn't have many other complications except for his BPD/CLD. We did end up having to go for a hernia surgery and a ROP, but those didn't happen until he had been off the vent for a few weeks, so after surgery he was disintubated almost imeediately.
DEBT FREE !!!!!!!!� Follow me to WDF to see how it's done in baby steps!!
Mom to twins A and Angel baby A due January 18, 2013 arrived on 10/11/12 at 25 weeks.
J10, 10w mc, K7 (lost her twin at 11w), 9w mmc, C4, Twins born 23w1d: ^O^ 1day, E spent 125d NICU stay is thriving at home!! JS 28w2d-60d NICU stay
Vented for 60 days, then CPAP - gradually weaned to nasal cannula over a 6wk period. He was given steroid inhalents (flovent) and diuretics while vented. Never went back on a vent, and came home without O2 or monitors. Never had a cold or any breathing issues in the 12 months he's been home. My son was born 23w6d. His Drs were very conservative about getting him off the vent, and I'm happy they were because he had no issues going to CPAP and nasal cannula.
Mama to Liam, a miracle 23wkr!
My 25 weeker (born 11/19/12) was on the vent for 2 months. They tried 2x to move him to NIPPV but had to go back to vent. 3rd times a charm! He was on NIPPV with oxygen, pressure, rate, and diuretics for a few weeks and then finally to nasal cannula with just oxygen, pressure, and diuretics. Now, it's the two step trying to wean down the pressure. He's also starting Pulmacort breathing treatments.

How much Breast Milk should I be producing??
I had to start supplementing formula along with my breastmilk because I wasn't producing enough to appease my newborn. It turns out, I started pumping just to see how much I was producing and I am only getting about 2 oz. every 2 hours. Is this normal? If not, what can I do to increase my supply?

It depends on the age of your baby. For a newborn, pumping 2 oz every 2 hours is great. If you can, breastfeed first, then pump. Emptying your breasts completely will make them produce more milk. Pump as often as you can, drink as much water as you can tolerate, and eat grain based foods, like oatmeal. If that doesn't work, then consider taking Fenugreek, which can be found at natural food stores and some drug/grocery stores. There is also a product called Mother's Milk Tea that is supposed to help increase your supply. The best thing you can do is to allow your baby to suck often. Another trick is to power pump. 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off for an hour. It usually takes about 3 days to increase your supply. You're doing a great job, so don't give up. BF will become easier in time. Good luck!posted 03/30/2010 by trae01
Supply and demand. the more you pump the more you'll get, evevn pumping when you have no milk coming out. Your body will say " hey you need to be making more of this stuff so let's get to it" and it will realize that your not making enough and make more. pump atleast 10 - 15 minutes each side even a little longer after your milk stops. Every hour to start will do then every 2 - 3. But always pump atleast 8 times a day or every 3 - 4 hours. Not pumping will cause ngorment and could permanently damage your milk supply.posted 08/29/2010 by ajbark15
Couple of tips--- first, the best way to find out how much your baby is getting is to use a special scale on which you can weigh the baby before and after the feeding. My lactation consultant at the hospital had one. It is entirely possible that you are producing more than you think. You may consider using a method of supplementing that won't interupt your milk production. We had to supplement my son the first week due to jaundice. The lactation consultant set me up with a syringe and tube to place next to my nipple so he could get the formula but still be nursing. This was a life saver, because once he didn't need the formula anymore, he just nursed and my milk production wasn't interupted. Good luck!posted 05/13/2010 by brandysuerose
That was my story with my first baby. Someone suggested I always put her to my breast first then supplement if she wasn't full, this seemed to work for us. I had more milk at 3 months than at 1 month, but I always supplemented.posted 03/30/2010 by 4tortugas
Okay, couple issues. First, the pump does not get out as much milk as a baby and therefore your pumping output is not an indication of your true supply. Stop all the pumping and bottle feeding and just nurse your baby. IT's normal for newborns to nurse all the time and never be satisfied. If your baby is having enough wet/poopy diapers, you're making enough milk. Second, 2 oz is a totally normal pumping output. Your baby needs about 24 oz of breastmilk in 24 hours. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/normal/frequent-nursing.htmlposted 03/31/2010 by stelvis2.0
Ok, I will try that. Thank you all so much!posted 03/31/2010 by jennisue_79
Schlehen Blackthornberry Exillar. A wonderful berry extract that speeds up the production of milk. Ive been using it for about 3 months and some mornings when I wake up around 3 or 4, I have to wake my little angel up to feed or start pumping, because my breasts are aching.posted 08/29/2012 by naominewimage
how can i increase my milk production i only pump 2oz per pumping session i only pump my son is 11 months old but i need help i have tried different herbs and i dont see improvement thank youposted 09/10/2011 by mamad4yk6
I am having no problem getting my baby to latch and feed, but I am noticing that I am making a lot of breast milk. I pump my breasts after I feed my baby so I can empty my breasts. I also notice that if I don't feed or pump every 2 hours my breasts get swollen and hurt. I have a huge supply of frozen breast milk already and so much milk in the fridge. During the day I produce about 6-7 oz of breast milk in a 2 hours period. I don't know if that's too much, but I know it's more than what my 2 month old needs. It's been a while that this has been happening and there is still no change. I was curious to see how much breast milk I was producing, so I measured the amount of milk I was getting from my breast pump for a 24 hr period. In a 24 hr period, I produced approximately 80+ oz of breast milk. That's more than a litre. What is wrong with me? Is this excess milk production due to the size of my breasts? This can't be normal! I am going to try the tips I just read. Hope it works.posted 09/24/2011 by Charlette2011

Eagles making run for title
Cole and Chase Pendergrass may be twins, but in track they compete at opposite ends of the spectrum.
The Del Oro High seniors said with each twin making huge strides in their events, this is no case of sibling rivalry. Cole holds the team's season record in the 200 meter, with 22.54 seconds. He also holds top finishes in the 100 meter and is a member of the 4x100 relay team.
Chase prefers long-distance events. He holds top-three season best finishes for the Golden Eagles in the 1500 meters, 1600 meters, 3000 and 3200 meters.
"Being on two different ends of the spectrums, we stand on the sidelines and support each other," Chase said. "I think it helps we are both at the top in our end of the spectrum."
The Pendergrass' have their goals set for the Sierra Foothill League Championships Wednesday and Friday.
"I've been looking for a lifetime (personal record)," Chase said. "I already got my lifetime (personal record) with 10:23 in the two-mile. I am looking to beat my (personal record) in the mile now."
Cole has his sights set on soaring past one of his own teammates.
"I desire to break 11 in the 100 and to be the best I can be. If winning is part of that, than so be it," Cole said. "Angelo Pasquale from Del Oro is the one guy I need to beat."
Pasquale leads Del Oro in the 100 meter at 11.19 seconds. Cole is just behind him at 11.32 seconds. Pasquale's best 100 meter last season was 10.95 seconds, making him the second best in the section. The healthy competition with his teammate hasn't been the only thing on Cole's mind this season.
He said his greatest challenge this season has been balancing school, work and practice. Cole is also composing four piano songs for his senior project. Chase got shin splints early on the season, but has since healed.
Del Oro coach Dustin Fee is in his inaugural year as head coach. Fee, who ran track at Placer, teaches P.E. at Penryn and H. Clarke Powers Elementary schools. Many of his students are now coming up through the ranks to run track at Del Oro.
"It's been a very busy first year. As hard as this team works and as talented of athletes as they are, it has been an absolute delight and pleasure to coach," Fee said. "Especially the freshman and sophomores because I have had them as my students at Penryn and H. Clarke Powers. It's a pretty unique situation."
Fee said Del Oro is in a good position to win both the boys and girls SFL championships — if they can out-perform fellow contender Rocklin. The 4x400 meter relay team comprised of Kenneth Andri, Casey Wheeler, Blake Covey and Kai VonAlvenslaben was less then a second away from making the automatic qualifying time for CIF State Championships. They hope to get their time down at league finals.
Fee said injuries have been the most challenging part of the season. Top-contender in the pole vault, Mackenzie Landry came back a couple of weeks ago after an injury. She cleared 11 feet at a meet against Roseville on April 27.
Sophomore Brianna Ruiz has been out with an injured sartorious. Ruiz typically competes in the 200 and 400-meter events, but has been out for much of the season. Fee said that while she still wanted to compete, he decided to reserve her strength for the league meet.
"She would have competed and gone sub-60 in the 400 because she has the heart of a lion," Fee said. "But I want to keep her tame until the time counts."
Ruiz said making the transition from a long basketball season, where she helped lead the Golden Eagles to NorCal Championships, to track was a challenge. Fee said Ruiz has the talent to earn a full-ride scholarship in track.
Granite Bay track coach Jackie Nasca said Del Oro is ripe with talent and in a good position to win league championships.
"I think Del Oro is always a strong team. Their seniors and juniors are naturally gifted and they have such depth with the younger group," Nasca said. "Rocklin is always a force for us, but I think Del Oro may be stronger."
Fee said he is optimistic about Del Oro's shot at a title going into league trials today at Nevada Union.
"I've loved working with all of the kids here," Fee said. "They are already dedicated and motivated. That makes them really easy to work with. My team is phenomenal. I think they will do very well — We have the depth."

Sanding disc shield improves safety
When I use the belt on my belt/disc sander, it makes me a bit nervous to have the disc spinning there while my attention is focused elsewhere. To avoid inadvertent damage to my hide and hobby, I built the shield shown out of scrap plywood and pine, first nailing the frame together, then gluing the front and back panels to it.
The shield rests on the sander's table without fastening, and I've never had a problem with it rubbing on the disc for more than a second. The only time I remove it is to use the disc sander; otherwise, it stays in place to protect the disc and my hands.
—David Evans, Roy, Utah
Thanks David, I just recently had my nails done while using my belt sander. I needed this idea. Byrdman Slc,Ut2/21/2014 04:44:36 PM Report Abuse

Zain Group achieves net income of USD 184 million for first quarter 2013, a 3% increase on fourth quarter of 2012
- Impact of adverse foreign currency translation cuts revenues by USD 179 million, EBITDA by USD 76 million and net profit by USD 44 million
- Consolidated Revenues reach USD 1.06 billion, EBITDA USD 449 million
- 10% annual customer growth sees 3.9 million additions, to reach 44.1 million
- Substantial investments in 3G and 4G LTE networks paying off as data revenues increase 14%
Kuwait, 8 May 2013: Zain Group, the pioneer of mobile telecommunications across the Middle East and North Africa, announces today its consolidated financial results for the three months ending 31 March, 2013.
Q1, 2013 Key Performance Indicators (USD and Kuwaiti Dinars):
Total Managed Active Customers: 44.1 million (up 10% on Q1, 2012)
Consolidated Revenues: USD 1.06 billion (KD 299 million)
EBITDA: USD 449 million (KD 127 million)
EBITDA Margin: 42.4%
Net Income: USD 184 million (KD 52 million)
Zain Group added 3.9 million new active customers over the past twelve months to now serve 44.1 million, reflecting a 10% growth rate. The Group added 1.4 million customers during the first three months of 2013. Zain is a market leader in six of its eight operations.
For the first quarter of 2013, Zain Group recorded consolidated revenues of USD 1.06 billion (KD 299 million), and the company's consolidated EBITDA for the same period reached USD 449 million (KD 127 million), reflecting a healthy EBITDA margin of 42.4%.
Consolidated Net Income reached USD 184 million (KD 52 million), representing a 3% increase on the fourth quarter of 2012. Earnings per share for the quarter stood at USD 0.05 (KD 0.013).
Key Group Quarter Operational Notes:
1. Adverse currency translation impact in Sudan costs the company the equivalent of USD 179 million in revenues, USD 76 million in EBITDA and USD 44 million in net profit for the quarter.
2. Although Zain Saudi Arabia continues to narrow its operating loss, Zain Group's increased ownership from 25% to 37% pressures Group operating results.
3. The gap between traditional voice and data revenues reduce as data revenues see impressive 14% growth.
4. Shareholders receive USD 685 million (KD 195 million) cash distribution after Annual General Assembly Meeting approved dividends of 50% of share face value (50 fils).
5. Benefits of Vodafone Partner agreement began to take effect as Zain agrees to pilot the 'joyn' Rich Communications Services initiative formulated by the GSM Association. The service will allow the company to compete more effectively against OTT players by providing customers access to leading-edge technology and services in a shorter period of time. The Zain brand was also exposed to a global motor racing audience as the Vodafone Mercedes McLaren cars and team were branded Zain during the recent Bahrain Grand Prix.
Commenting on the results, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zain Group, Mr. Asaad Al Banwan said: "It is promising from a forward-looking perspective to see the addition of 3.9 million customers notwithstanding the Group's key financial indicators having been impacted by adverse currency fluctuations, and to a lesser extent by the Group's increased stake in Zain Saudi Arabia."
The Chairman also noted, "Our substantial investment in expanding and upgrading our 3G and 4G networks across our markets are paying off and continual attention to such areas is necessary to maintain the company's growth momentum."
On his part, Zain Group CEO, Scott Gegenheimer noted, "Operationally our Group companies are performing well in local currency terms and despite intense competitive challenges, they are all attaining the targets set at the beginning of the year. The adverse effect on our financial results by the devaluation of the Sudanese pound, which fell by 53% against the US dollar over the last 12 months, is unavoidable as there is no effective hedge on the currency."
Gegenheimer added, "Our focus today is to drive efficiency and to build on our many competitive strengths with the aim to cement our market leadership position in the countries we serve. Empowering our customers with the latest innovative technologies is a critical focus and the 14% growth in data revenues reflects positively on our efforts and investments in this area. We expect data revenue growth to continue, in line with industry trends worldwide".
The percentage growth in data revenues is all the more significant and promising for Zain when one considers that a large number of the Group's customers do not yet have smartphones and are located in rural areas across several countries that are vast in their geographies.
With regard to ongoing dealings that will be further elaborated in the near future, Gegenheimer noted that the Group is currently examining several prime adjacent business and key partnership opportunities that will be accretive to both operational efficiency and shareholder value. The company is also in the final stages of entering into numerous commercial and customer enhancing agreements that will improve the Zain service experience.
Zain country operational year-on-year growth highlights:
Kuwait: Launched nationwide 4G LTE with year-on-year customer growth of 9%
Bahrain: Customer base grew by 30%; recently launches 4G LTE
Iraq: Customer base grew by 9% as operation expands network to North Iraq
Jordan: Maintains customer and value leadership through dynamic marketing campaigns
Lebanon: Management contract extended to 30 June 2013
Saudi Arabia: 4G LTE network and aggressive marketing campaigns contribute to32% customer growth, revenue growth of 17%
Sudan: In SDG currency terms, revenues grew by 25% year-on-year, net income grew by 57%
South Sudan: Customer base grew by 44% while revenues grew by 8%

Pinpoint Demos
Instant-On Summary: Overview of Pinpoint [2:57]
This is an introductory video demo showing how Pinpoint can give you "instant-on" access to the results from last nights run through the flow. Over a morning cup of coffee, you can quickly compare last nights runs and assess what problems you are going to need to address today.
Exploring The Layout With Pinpoint 3.1 [2:48]
Sometimes just seeing the paths over the layout is not enough, you really need to see timing failures along with power analysis and congestion as well as query the layout as you go. This demo shows interactive layout exploring even on large designs along with the ability to create custom overlays all with a near infinite ability to zoom in.
Improving Your Workflow with Path Bucketing [5:03]
One Thousand Failing endpoints does not mean 1000 problems. Pinpoint helps engineers group related paths together and save the groups from run to run. This video shows you how.
Pinpoint From Your Shell [4:09]
Pinpoint not only provides you with information from the web, it can also provide you summary information directly from your command line. This way you can see high level results summarized right from your working directory or quickly jump to see it over the web.
Pinpoint Licensing [5:29]
This explains how Pinpoint is licensed. Pinpoint is not licensed on a per user basis but on a per project basis. The goal is to maximize value for the team while they are working on a particular project.
Simple Installation Process[6:23]
Most EDA tools are notoriously difficult to install and get running. We wanted to show how easy it is for our customers to get Pinpoint installed and running on their design. This takes you through the whole process in five minutes providing a handy tutorial when you are installing it yourself.
Add Your Own Metrics [6:25]
Pinpoint was architected to be tool and flow agnostic, so it's easy to integrate into any flow. But this also meant we knew design teams would want to add their own measurements/metrics to Pinpoint. This demo takes you through the whole process of adding custom metrics.
Tego Demos
Accelerate Your Structured Design [3:09]
Most structured placement approaches use only a text file for creating the tiling. This makes it difficult to quickly see how to improve the structured design, which leaves results on the table. This demo shows a couple of ways that Tuscany improves this process.
Advanced Structured Design [2:28]
This 3-minute video shows how Tego lets you quickly try out different "what-if" scenarios within seconds instead of hours. Moreover, it illustrates Tego's unique ability to handle every kind of structured design technique.

CALL FOR PAPERS—49th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo, 2014
Miller, Baker, Tapstress, Cook: Medieval Communities of Food Service and Production
From Kit the Tapstress in "The Canterbury Interlude," Rose the Disher in Piers Plowman, and the tavern-keepers, butchers, millers and their patrons in the Old French fabliaux, to Lydgate's "Against Millers and Bakers" and the practical advice of Le Ménagier de Paris, medieval literary texts and manuals for conduct suggest a particular interest in food service workers and their role in their communities. But what is the figurative work of such characters? How are they situated as within or outside, essential to or in excess of the community? Furthermore, how do they comment on the culture and, more significantly, the communities of food production and consumption in late medieval literature?
This panel seeks papers that explore these and other questions dealing with the relations between foods as objects and those who produce or consume them. Above all, we invite consideration of how the various roles of the purveyors of food can contribute to our comprehension of food's complex identity in medieval societies and cultures - and in our own. In the interest of interdisciplinary inquiry, this panel seeks to bring together specialists in history, cultural anthropology, archeology, and medieval literature of various national traditions to consider the literary, visual, and social roles of food service workers in the Middle Ages.
We welcome one-page proposals (250-300 words) from scholars of all levels. They may be sent along with a completed Participant Information Form (found at http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html) to Dr. Stefanie Goyette (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Dr. Heather Blatt (firstname.lastname@example.com) by September 15, 2013. For general information about the 2014 Medieval Congress, visit: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/.
Please include your name, title, and affiliation on the abstract itself.
Deadline: September 15, 2013

Alternathera Reinckii Var. Roseafolia
Anybody know anything about this plant? I won a plant package on aquabid from sweetaquatics for 6 potted plants and this is one of the plants I can chose from but I can't seem to find much info on it. I think its a very pretty red color but I need more info like how big it gets, light requirement, and all that stuff thats good to know. LOL
I tried growing this plant and one by one the leaves dropped off, then the stems just melted away.
I knew my lighting in the tank probably wasn't going to be enough for this particular plant but I had to try it, at least once.
LOL thats what I am worried about to but it is so pretty I want to try it at least one time. LOL
Maybe since its comeing from sweetaquatics it will live in mine. At least I can hope then if it does I can send you some clippings if you like and you can try it again comeing from a low tech tank.
I've ordered that plant from sweets twice...This time it's doing better, but I'm not holding my breath...
The leaves are turning clear at the tips already.
This plant is in our plant profiles. It explains the variants and some are easier than others, and why.
Thanks Byron I read it. I got the plant yesterday and let me say I don't hold much hope for it but I planted it anyway.
No problem I will be happy tp send you some if it makes it. It is pretty wimpy looking right now after 3 days in a box with no light. : (

According to scientists, human-produced gases such as bromine and chlorine damage the ozone layer, which in turn has caused the hole and allowed it to increase in size over time. This is a major reason why many compounds -- such as components of spray-can propellants -- have been banned in recent years.
"From September 21 to 30, the average area of the ozone hole was the largest ever observed, at 10.6 million square miles," said Paul Newman, atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. That means the area of the hole is larger than North America.
David Hoffman, director of the Global Monitoring Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Laboratory, stated that "These numbers mean the ozone is virtually gone in this layer of the atmosphere."
Hoffman added that "The depleted layer has an unusual vertical extent this year, so it appears that the 2006 ozone hole will go down as a record-setter." However, the size and thickness of the ozone hole varies from year to year, becoming larger when temperatures are lower.
Due to international agreements banning ozone-depleting substances, researchers calculated that ozone-depleting chemicals peaked in Antarctica in 2001 and have been declining since. However, many of them have extremely long lifetimes once released into the air. While there are year-to-year variations, scientists expect a slow recovery of the ozone layer until the year 2065, anticipating declines in the use of damaging chemicals from this point forward.

To the editor:
After reading the Title IX opinion piece entitled "Title IX Distractions Unfair to Students," it seems to me that rather than talk about the issues, Ms. Jarrett just wants to malign Mr. Richards' efforts.
If we stick to the issues then this is simple. Was a facility built at North Oldham for only boys? Yes, the fieldhouse doesn't even have a girls' locker room. Does this mean that there is inequity? It sure seems that way to me.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon will take a closer look at the Dover military mortuary where the Air Force says workers in 2009 twice lost track of body parts of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Tuesday directed a special panel of the Defense Health Board to review operations at Dover and to pass judgment on the adequacy of changes made there since allegations arose last year of multiple cases of mishandled remains at the mortuary.
The Air Force revealed on Tuesday that three mortuary supervisors had been punished -- but no one fired -- for what officials called "gross mismanagement" at the Delaware facility.
An independent federal investigative agency, the Office of Special Counsel, said the Air Force had fallen short on accepting responsibility for the mistakes.

text: President Obama mixes up Star Wars and Star Trek in sequester comments Politics 04 March 13 by Angela Watercutter White House Twitter Oh, Obama. For so long you have come off as One of Us with your Vulcan salutes and bringing Wookiees to the White House. How could you possibly have confused Star Trek and Star Wars? We find your lack of nerd nuance… disturbing.For those that don't know -- i.e., those not on the internet Friday afternoon -- during a press conference about his discussions with Congressional leaders to avoid the federal spending cuts known as the "sequester," President Obama said, "I know that this has been some of the conventional wisdom that's been floating around Washington that somehow, even though most people agree that I'm being reasonable, that most people agree I'm presenting a fair deal, the fact that they don't take it means that I should somehow, you know, do a Jedi mind meld with these folks and convince them to do what's right."Yeah, "Jedi mind meld"? That's not really a thing. There are Jedi mind tricks and Vulcan mind melds, but -- last we checked -- a Jedi mind meld doesn't exist; they're not even in the same sci-fi universe.Twitter immediately jumped on the remark. The Darth Vader parody account sent out a missive saying "Obama just confused Star Trek and Star Wars by saying Jedi Mind Meld. I think it's time to impeach." Others chimed in with comments like, "Faux pas, Mr. President! Thou shalt not mix Star Wars/Star Trek metaphors!" Even Spock himself Leonard Nimoy got in on the act, tweeting "Only a Vulcan mind meld will help with this congress."The White House decided to run with the concept of the "Jedi mind meld," sending out a tweet 1 March stating "We must bring balance to the Force. #Sequester #JediMindMeld". It seemed to acknowledge (and perhaps, try to ameliorate) the crossover faux pas by attaching an image of Obama with the words "These Aren't the Solutions Americans Are Looking For" in an appropriate Star Wars-esque font and "To Deny the Facts Would Be Illogical" in a Star Trek font. The twitpic also included the URL wh.gov/JediMindMeld, which links to the president's plan to deal with the sequester.Of course on the internet, everyone loves taking a good gaffe and running with it. And Americans need answers. So, naturally, a White House petition has already been established asking the president to apologise for mixing up his sci-fi references."We the people of the United States of America, and Star Wars and Star Trek fans the world over respectfully request that President Obama or a representative of his Administration Apologize [sic] for his mash-up of the two cannons," the petition, which has two signatures as of this writing, reads. "We understand the stress the Job of President of the United-States [sic] can put on an individual and we understand press conferences are difficult to give. However this is extremely important and warrants clarification on if he intended to say Vulcan Mind Meld or Jedi Mind trick as we must know which he is truly a fan of."Your move, Spock Obama.

Questions about my New CG-5GT
Posted 18 March 2009 - 07:42 PM
Posted 18 March 2009 - 09:18 PM
Alright, my mount finally arrived today and it is my first gem mount and I'm quite impressed so far. Although, I won't be able to use it until Friday most likely, weather permitting. So my questions are: Do I have the latest firmware version, HC: 4.13 MC: 5.07? It appears I do, as it's the latest version on the website. However, I do not understand how to do the All-Star polar alignment procedure. Also, I am using a side by side setup and I pretty much got the balance issue solved fairly easily. However, because of the side by side setup I have to move the declination 90 degrees so the scopes are pointing north. I arbitrarily did a rough align inside my home and it appears to be pointing in the right directions when I do fake slews to Saturn and Sirius. Maybe this was out of pure luck. What do I do with regards to the index marks when using a SBS setup; do I need to make new index marks?
Steve, No you don't have the latest firmware ... GEM HC 4.15 and MC 5.14 are the latest levels. HC 4.15 has some nice additional features that I think you'll appreciate ... like All-Star polar alignment (which isn't in 4.13), the newest MC isn't as much of an issue.
You can ignore the index marks or if you like move the index marks, but you can also use the new OTA orientation feature in 4.15 that will allow you to fake out the mount's initial positioning with your side by side configuration.
For some more info on the firmware levels have a look at Mike's great site http://www.nexstarsite.com/
For a manual on using a scope with the HC 4.15 firmware download the CGEM installation guide from Celestron's website.
If you want to read a bit about using the side by side config with the CG5 have a look at this thread

Also, I want to autoguide using the autoguider port and ascom drives in PHD. However, I realized that I don't have the proper size phone cable (not sure what it's called) with the correct number of pins. Where can I obtain this, or can someone tell me the name of this cable so I can purchase it.
Posted 19 March 2009 - 12:01 AM
For autoguiding you have two options ...
1) Use the existing HC serial cable connected to the HC. ASCOM and the Celestron driver and PHD Guide.
2) Use the Autoguider port in which case you'll need a cable wired for the ST-4 connection and something to generate the appropriate ST-4 signals (such as the ShoeString Astronomy GPUSB) or the output of a dedicated autoguiding imager (such as the Orion SSAG).
Posted 19 March 2009 - 12:43 AM
Can you connect to the HC and use ASCOM, the Celestron driver, and a planetarium or scope control app successfully?
I cannot connect to the HC in any fashion or use ASCOM. I was able to use ASCOM with my LX90 when I had it using this combination of serial to USB adapter. (I am using the serial adapter that comes with the Meade DSI. Perhaps this is the problem). This is turning out to be a lesson in frustration.
I just read somewhere on this forum that you need the Celestron specific serial cable, so I purchased that for about 15 bucks and I shall see if that solves anything in a few days...
Posted 19 March 2009 - 01:05 AM
"For use with CPC, CGE, NexStar GPS Series models. Is compatible with Advanced GT and NexStar i telescopes when used with Auxiliary Port Accessory Kit (93965)"
Am I going to have to buy this Auxiliary Port? It costs about $80 and I don't want to burn cash on that right now.
Posted 19 March 2009 - 02:04 AM
The RS-232 plugs into the hand controller on one end and into a serial port on your computer on the other end. If you don't have a serial port you will need the Keyspan serial-usb adapter (or similar).
Posted 19 March 2009 - 11:53 AM
I wasn't aware that Meade supplied a USB-serial adapter with a DSI ... but if that Meade supplied USB-serial adapter isn't cutting it, then the two options are the Keyspan that Patrick and I have mentioned or the Celestron model (no idea who actually makes it). There is no magic here, there are some known but not terribly well documented issues with various combinations of USB-serial adapters, drivers, USB bridges on board the PC/Laptop and the level of OS being used.
No matter which adapter you purchase just make sure it's from a good dealer, one that will honor a return if it doesn't work out.
I often check out any changes to my configuration (new adapter, other new hardware, etc.) by trying out the ASCOM/Driver, planetarium app (my favourite is Sky Charts) just to ensure that a) the com port shows up properly and b) the app with ASCOM can connect to the scope. Then I will go ahead and fire up the firmware updater if appropriate ... I really don't like doing anything with firmware when I'm not 100% certain of the connections and such.
Mike's NexStar site (link in earlier post) in addition to the descriptions also has the graphic of the PC connectivity with all the cables and s/w listed if that will help. The Celestron serial HC cable (#93920) is around $15, the serial-USB adapter is around $40. You can also get both cables bundled with the NexRemote s/w (which emulates the physical hand controller and offers a number of other enhancements) for $100. A few of the interesting features of NexRemote is that it is self contained, you don't need ASCOM and you can load it with different firmware and trial run the new firmware without having to do the actual update to your real hand controller.
Posted 19 March 2009 - 12:30 PM
I wasn't aware that Meade supplied a USB-serial adapter with a DSI
Meade doesn't supply a USB to serial adapter with the DSI, but rather they supply a RS-232 adapter and the appropriate cable. I purchased the Celestron one and will see if that makes any difference.
Posted 19 March 2009 - 01:25 PM
OK, at this point I'd take everything that came from Meade and put it back into the box. Don't use any of it with your Celestron setup.
You need the Celestron serial HC cable.
Does your PC have a real 9 pin serial port on it? If not then you will also need a USB port and the USB-serial adapter.
That's it (just like Patrick said earlier).
Posted 19 March 2009 - 04:06 PM
Posted 19 March 2009 - 04:54 PM
If that RS USB adapter worked before on your PC it is highly likely that you'll have no problems once you get the Celestron serial HC cable. In my experience when there is a problem with a PC to scope connection and there is a USB-serial adapter involved it's usually a complete failure ... with no ability to see the USB-serial adapter at all. When a configuration works for one application (and that comm port # shows up in the device manager) then it usually works for all of them.
Posted 19 March 2009 - 05:32 PM
Posted 20 March 2009 - 07:56 AM
This is because the connections are different. It isn't surprising this is so, there are 24 ways that the 3 connections can be connected to a 4 pin plug.

It took an epic cake to satisfy sci-fi fans at a convention in Boston.
This edible stormtrooper stood more than six feet tall. It was made of yellow cake, with vanilla Italian meringue butter cream filling and marshmallow fondant. Rice krispy legs supported the 300-pound body.
The creator says it took ten people two weeks to put him together.
And it took nearly 600 conventioneers to devour their creation.
Cows at Conrad farms in Lorain county, ohio are sleeping easy. That's because they each have a stall fitted with a waterbed.
Farmer Dave Conrad says sleeping on water is more comfortable for the animals, and eliminates pressure on their hocks and knees.
We do our very best we can to keep the cows happy and content and in return, they will take care of us.
He says milk quality has gone up quite a bit since the beds were installed.
These k-9's don't seem to mind the winter weather that's been slamming the Pacific Northwest.
The dogs' owner says her cocker spaniels enjoy romping around in her snow-covered yard in Olympia, Washington.
By Wednesday afternoon the city was blanketed with the most snowfall it had seen in a 24-hour period since 1972.

Following a devastating wildfire in August, Russia put a halt to its grain exports, driving up the price of wheat by 45 percent in five weeks and raising fears that another global food crisis was imminent. Those fears turned out to be unfounded, but food challenges remain acute, particularly for the developing world. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization concluded last week that while there is no impending global "food crisis," there is a serious danger in price volatility caused by speculation, panic buying and hoarding. Even if global supply and demand remain in balance, fluctuations in the price of food can have a devastating impact on those already struggling to pay for their food.
Using Gallup's data on the top five countries where citizens struggle the most to afford food, we examine challenges to food security.

More information is released about the acquisition of a private south Georgia hospital. In a meeting with hospital officials on May 17, they explained that South Georgia Medical Center is in the 60-day due diligence period of reviewing Smith Northview. This includes checking its doctors' credentials and medical files to make sure everything is in order. For now, officials say Smith Northview will keep its name as it transitions into an SGMC campus.
"We don't have a heart center at Smith Northview. We'll be able to work together hopefully instead of there again having the out migration -- bring those patients back into the community," says Sam Lewis, Smith Northview Hospital Chairman.
The transformation sale of Smith Northview to a not-for-profit hospital under SGMC is July 15th.

Twenty-eight paintings from the Americans Who Tell the Truth series by Robert Shetterly will be on view in a joint exhibition of the Dowd and Beard Galleries from January 22-March 9, 2013. The series features portraits of Americans throughout history who have spoken the truth against injustice, often under difficult circumstances. Each piece is composed of both a painted image of the subject and a quotation by the subject, which is scratched into the surface of the paint. A special posthumous portrait of Bill Griffen, activist and SUNY Cortland Professor, has been created for the show and will be permanently ensconced within the Americans Who Tell the Truth collection.
The Dowd Gallery will feature twenty-two portraits of activists, such as Cesar Chavez, Shirley Chisolm, Alice Waters, Muhammad Ali and Bill Griffen, whose focuses cover a wide range of issues. The Beard Gallery will feature six portraits of activist women in the arts, including Sue Coe, Dorothea Lange, and Lily Yeh.
Rob Shetterly, a Maine-based artist, began painting the Americans Who Tell the Truth series in response to the frustration he felt when President George W. Bush's administration leveraged propaganda about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as justification for waging a war in Iraq. "I was determined to use the portraits and the words of the subjects as an act of defiance against the lies of an administration leading the American people into unnecessary and illegal wars," he stated. "The fantasy was that I could, by painting the portraits of these courageous people, evoke their spirits in some way to help us now. I imagined the ghosts of Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Jones, Jane Addams, Sojourner Truth, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, W.E.B. Du Bois, and all the others marching arm in arm, leading millions of people, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House to demand the truth about the reasons for the War on Iraq. I imagined them comparing the struggles of their times with issues today so that we would not be so easily manipulated, so easily convinced to give our patriotic approval to causes against our personal interests, the interests of democracy, the environment, and peace." He originally set out to paint 50 portraits, one for each state. To date, he has created over 150.
Shetterly was working toward a degree in English literature from Harvard College in the late 1960's when he enrolled in some courses in drawing that changed the focus of his creative endeavors from the written word to the painted image. He was also active during college in promoting civil rights and protesting the Vietnam War. Much of the art he has created over the decades is political. The despair that inspired him to begin the Americans Who Tell the Truth series is transformed into hope by the actual finished portraits. They beckon the viewer to stand up against wrong in the tradition of so many other courageous Americans throughout the nation's history. The subjects gaze directly back at viewers with an invitation to act. They imply that if they, our fellow citizens, can and did stand up for the truth, so can—and must—we.

Tuesday, February 12, 5:30-6:30 pm: "Speaking Truth to Power about Fracking," a talk by Dr. Sandra Steingraber, Dowd Gallery (9 Main Street, 3rd Floor); Dr. Steingraber, whose portrait is featured in the exhibition, is an Ithaca College Distinguished Scholar in Residence in the Department of Environmental Studies and Science.
