- Highlight the text you want to change into a heading.
- Expand the styles drop-down menu from the toolbar.
- Select a heading from the menu.

View inauguration_gmap.kml in a larger map
WASHINGTON – A large migration to the nation's capital will peak this weekend as the final preparations for the 57th Presidential Inauguration are rushed to completion.
Downtown streets will close, Metro will adopt a nonstop rush hour schedule and city bus routes will change as locals and visitors descend on Washington D.C. for President Barack Obama's second inauguration.
Travel into and through downtown Washington will become increasingly difficult as the weekend progresses. Those planning to attend the inauguration on Monday morning are strongly encouraged to use public transportation.
Driving and Road Restrictions
Street closures in downtown Washington will go into effect before dawn on Monday morning. All streets near the National Mall will be closed. In general, vehicles will be prohibited on streets from north of Lafayette Park to south of the National Mall as well as east to Capitol Hill and Union Station.
Vehicle restrictions across a broader portion of downtown, including parts of Chinatown and the West End, will be implemented on Sunday and will last until early Tuesday morning.
From Virginia, inbound drivers on Interstate 66 will be directed onto the northbound Potomac River Freeway toward Pennsylvania Avenue and Virginia Avenue. The Memorial Bridge will be closed to vehicular travel, but pedestrians will be allowed to cross the bridge. On Interstate 395, northbound drivers will be able to continue onto the Southwest Freeway, but the ramps to 14th Street, the 12th Street Expressway and the 3rd Street Tunnel will all be closed.
The 3rd Street Tunnel (I-395) will be closed in both directions between New York Avenue NW and the Southeast/Southwest Freeway.
Travelers headed into upper Northwest and Northeast Washington may find the trip less complicated. The Key Bridge and Chain Bridge will remain open. All Anacostia River bridges will remain open.
From Maryland, all routes into the city will be open.
HOV restrictions will be lifted around the region on Monday.
Travelers who are planning on driving in the city this weekend should stay alert as they approach crosswalks. There will be plenty of pedestrians and cyclists out and about visiting the local attractions on Saturday and Sunday, along with huge crowds walking and biking to and from the National Mall on Monday.
Besides the abnormal morning rush hour, traffic on routes outside the city should remain light, as Monday is a federal holiday.
For more information and a list of specific road closures and transit changes, see WTOP's Inauguration Day survival guide.
Metrorail will operate on a regular weekend schedule on Saturday and Sunday. On Inauguration Day, Metro plans to provide nonstop rush hour service from 4 a.m. until 2 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Be prepared for heavy traffic near the outermost Metro station parking lots beginning early Monday morning. Some parking areas may fill to capacity quickly. Metro will enforce normal weekday parking fees at all parking facilities.
Passengers planning to ride Metro on Monday may want to consider purchasing a farecard in advance. Expect long lines at ticketing kiosks and large crowds on station platforms. Officials may intermittently stop customers at the entrances to some stations to prevent overcrowding on the station platforms. Escalators at some stations may be intentionally disabled to promote the flow of customers to and from the gates.
For security purposes, the Smithsonian, Archives and Mt. Vernon Square stations will be closed all day.
The Metro stations closest to The Mall will be the most crowded before and especially after the ceremony and parades conclude. L'Enfant Plaza will likely be among the most crowded stations on Monday.
To maximize space, bicycles and large coolers and containers will be prohibited on Metro trains throughout the long weekend.
Downtown Metro bus routes have been shortened or rerouted around the street closures near the National Mall. The Circulator bus will not be running on Monday, Jan. 21, but regular service will resume on Tuesday, January 22. Customers who wish to travel through downtown areas should use Metrorail to complete their trip.
Travel by Plane and Train
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) expects the largest crowds at Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport on Tuesday, the day after Inauguration Day. Passengers with outgoing flights should arrive at the airport two to four hours before their departure time.
In Maryland, MARC trains will operate on a special Inauguration Day fare and train schedule. Tickets are limited. Regular MARC tickets will not be accepted.
In Virginia, there will be no VRE service on Monday.
For more, see Max Smith's tips for plane and train travel on Inauguration Day.
Other Events
There are many celebrations set to take place around the city this weekend that could lead to localized delays.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is celebrated on Monday. Expect a great deal of foot traffic along Independence Avenue near the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial as visitors pay tribute to the civil rights leader. A parade and peace walk will step off from Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and Milwaukee Place SE on Saturday at 11 a.m. On Sunday evening, the "Let Freedom Ring" concert featuring Smokey Robinson and the Let Freedom Ring Celebration Choir will take place at the Kennedy Center.
Several balls and galas will take place around the city this weekend. The official Inaugural Ball will take place Monday evening at the DC Convention Center. Expect crowds and congestion near the venue. Those with tickets should remember that the Mt. Vernon Square Metro station is scheduled to be closed on Monday.
For more, see Michelle Basch's Friday Freebies.
The WTOP Weather Team is forecasting the mercury to begin dropping late Sunday as a cold front sweeps through the region. Early morning temperatures on Inauguration Day will likely be in the 20s and will only rise to the mid-30s by noon. A few snow showers or flurries are possible, but no significant accumulation is expected. If people are headed downtown, they should dress warmly, in layers.

State Lawmakers Approve New Capitol Visitor Rules
Submitted: 01/10/2013
Story By The Associated Press
- Visitors who come to the Wisconsin state Assembly to watch debate won't be allowed to use cellphones, eat or wear a hat.
Those are some of the restrictions the Republican-controlled state Assembly approved Thursday.
Democrats argue the restrictions are an unconstitutional restriction on the public's right to view their government in action. But Republicans say they're meant to bring more decorum to the galleries.
Violators can be removed for the day or the entire two-year session if they violate the rules three times.
Another new rule requires male lawmakers to wear a coat and tie and female lawmakers to be appropriately attired. Those in violation would not be allowed to participate in debate that day.
The new rules were approved on a 59-37 vote. One Democrat voted for it.

Clean Boats, Clean Waters volunteers inspect for AIS
Submitted: 05/30/2016
Play Video
- Many people enjoy being on the lake and away from work on Memorial Day.
But some volunteers were working hard Monday on local lakes to prevent the spread of AIS.
Volunteers from Clean Boats, Clean Waters work at different lakes to check boats as they come in and out of the water. They often catch common mistakes, and teach boaters how they can help stop the spread of AIS.
"They usually recommend draining the water up away from the landing that way anything mixed in with the water in the boat doesn't get back in the lake," said volunteer Aaron Tomasoski. "Pretty often people will drain it out. It's been that way for a while, but people are starting to get a hang of it. But we are making progress on that."
Clean Boats, Clean Waters is a state-wide volunteer program that grew out of a program called Milfoil Masters, created by Minocqua middle schoolers in 2003.

Northwoods Tractor Club shows off work at Memorial Day Parade
Submitted: 05/30/2016
Play Video
- A group of tractor enthusiasts showed off their work Monday morning at Antigo's Memorial Day parade.
The Northwoods Tractor Club prides itself on refurbishing old tractors to like new condition.
The not for profit group started with just 20 members and has steadily grown to more than 100.
"Northwoods Tractor Club started in 2011 and it's a group of tractor enthusiasts that kinda thought well maybe we should get together and have an organization, maybe help out the community a little bit. So, we got together with 20 guys back then and now we're well over 100 members," says club President Mike McDougal.
Many of the tractors are hand me downs or ones that are too old to be used in the field.
That's why finding replacement parts can be tricky.
"A lot of times it's the family tractor that had been on their parents or grandparents farm. We reworked it and use it for parades such as today. Our whole general purpose of the organization is to raise money and establish an agriculture tractor museum up just north of Antigo is where we're looking at some land right now," says McDougal.
Many of the tractors date back to the 1930s.
Meeting are held on the last Monday of every month at Quinn's Bar in Neva Corners.

The eldest son of Indian immigrants who settled in London, Andrews clashed with his father over the career choice of acting. At age 16, he moved out of his parents home and was taken in by a math teacher who became his guardian. In a more controversial move, he and the female teacher eventually became lovers and she bore him a son in 1992, two years after he graduated from London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama. By that time, Andrews had made his stage debut in "My Beautiful Laundrette" (based on the well-received 1985 movie), directed by Hanif Kureishi.

EDGEWATER, Md. (WUSA) -- Two men told police that they were sexually abused as children from 2000 until 2008 by a man who lives in Edgewater, Md. Anne Arundel County Police say 66-year-old John Charles Villers-Farrow was arrested and charged with:
A People magazine article from 1992 indicates Villers-Farrow is actress Mia Farrow's brother (http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20108549,00.html). Police say Villers-Farrow is being held in jail on $800,000 bond.
According to police, they first received information about Villers-Farrow possibly abusing children in Edgewater area. That information prompted two men to come forward and claim to police that they were sexually abused between the ages of eight and their early teens. The Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's office received the information and decided to file charges against Villers-Farrow.
Police are asking anyone who may have been a victim or who has more information to contact Detective Josh Williams of the Child Abuse Unit at 410-222-3484.

Lineups: Costa's back
Shane Costa didn't even have time to leave Kansas City.
Costa, who was optioned to Omaha prior to last night's game, has been recalled from Omaha less than 24 hours later. He said he got the call from Sr. Director of Team Travel Jeff Davenport while eating lunch today and before taking off to meet the O-Royals in Nashville. Costa is rejoining the 25-man roster after the Royals put Mark Grudzielanek on the 15-day D.L. (retro to June 13) with a torn meniscus in his left knee – the same knee he injured in the Spring. He's undergoing surgery Thursday and a timetable for his return has not been set.
In related news: Brandon Duckworth will join Grud on the 15-day D.L. with a torn left oblique, an injury he suffered after tossing just two pitches of relief last night. Lefty Neal Musser was recalled from Omaha to take Duck's spot on the roster.
While shuffling into the clubhouse tonight, all the players signed a home plate that will be auctioned off alongside home plates from every team in the league. All the proceeds from the online auction of the MLB home plates will benefit prostate cancer research and awareness.
Here are your lineups for tonight's rubber match…

Jim Mulanax's '53 Dodge M43
Hailing from Mapleton, Oregon, Jim's idea of a custom classic truck was so sick he had to buy an ambulance. Jim dumped the Korean War-era Power Wagon's flathead six in favor of an International 304-inch V-8 with a five-speed crashbox. Future plans include boxing the frame, chopping the top 2 inches, and installing Ford running gear. Hey Jim, may we suggest finding a Dodge engine for your Dodge? This world is sick enough as it is.
Meaty, Beefy, Big & Bouncy
Around the turn of the 20th century, Jeff Null's '82 GMC left California with its original owner for Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Jeff bought the rust-free short-step, cherried the body and then repainted it in its original apple red color. Propulsion comes from a 400-horsepower, 350-inch small-block mated to a 700R4 hooked to a 4.11:1 rearend. The big rear meats are 31x18.50x15-inch Hoosiers.
Cletis Clark Of Havilland, Kansas
Cletis' wife Jeana sent us before and after shots of his '70 K5 Chevy Blazer. Cletis fully restored the Blazer in '84 and then ran the wheels off it as a farm truck until 2004. A farmer by trade and a hot-rodder at heart, Cletis rebuilt and repainted it in his state-of-the-art big metal barn. Judging by this photo, we'd say Cletis definitely put his Blazer out to greener pastures.
Grandpa's Rollin' DUBs
In between rebuilding a '55 Chevy and a '54 Dodge pickup, Bill Alpert and his wife celebrated retirement by restoring this '57 Chevy. Its original 235-inch six-cylinder stovebolt was hopped up using a Sig Erson cam with an Offenhauser dual-carb manifold with two pots. Bill made his bed floor from red oak bought from the Amish. Bill says the DuPont Specmaster Red paintjob "visualizes as orange." The 20-inch wheels are Sacchi.
"It's as rare as rainforest mahogany," says Dick Hurtzer of the black diamond tuck interior in his '56 Chevy panel. Dick's truck features "drum brakes that won't stop and a real strong '65 Corvette 327 that goes like hell." A Rossi Powerglide with no reverse attempts to function as the transmission. His uncle Willie Hurtzer had the panel's upholstery done in Tijuana, Mexico, when he returned from 'Nam in '69. Welcome home, Willie.

2009 Lonestar Roundup Road Trip - Banzai Road TripWritten by on August 1, 2009 Airplane-Free Flight To Texas
I'm a firm believer in using your hobby vehicle, be it a pickup, hot rod, muscle car, or whatever. They were designed as everyday vehicles when they were new, the majority of us have improved suspension and drivetrains, even air conditioning, and the road network is way better these days than even a couple of decades ago, so what's to stop you from jumping in your truck and hitting the road?
That's what Street Rodder magazine associate editor Ryan Manson and I thought when we decided to drive to this year's Lonestar Roundup in Austin, Texas, rather than fly. The gas worked out cheaper than two airfares, and we'd get a roadtrip story each out of it while enjoying the trip on company time. Everyone wins! The original plan was for him to take his '55 Chevy and me to drive my '46 sedan-turned-roadster-pickup. Way better to have two vehicles in case of emergencies. His six-speed transmission and airbag suspension install ended up keeping the Chevy off the road however, so it was that we both set out mid-Thursday in my Ford, with little more than a change of clothes each, camera gear, a toolbag, an iPod, a box of spares, and a scrap of paper reading " I8 to I10, turn left on 290 to Austin." Which kinda belies the fact that it was almost 1,500 miles away!
I'd been keeping an eye on the weather forecast, and with thunderstorms in the cards for New Mexico and Texas on our outward journey, I spent the two days preceding our departure fabricating an aluminum roof for the truck, which will later be covered to resemble a folding roof. In the event it proved more use in keeping the sun off us as the only rain we encountered was some light sprinkling (and fog) in the last 100 miles coming into Austin in the early hours of Saturday morning. We'd planned on arriving late Friday afternoon, but after we switched drivers during the night in Arizona the steering started to act up. As Ryan's '55 rides on old bias-plies with a sloppy steering box, he's used to his car wandering all over the road, and didn't notice anything wrong, but as soon as I took over again in New Mexico I realized something was amiss. The truck uses a Caprice front clip, and I'd never changed any of the steering components. Couple that with some rather, er, enthusiastic driving during the Goodguys Autocross at their recent Costa Mesa event, and the ball joints on the centerlink, as well as the idler arm, had decided enough was enough. As we were literally freezing at about 3 a.m. anyway, we found a motel and took a look at the steering the following morning. We then wasted a few hours locating parts and fitting them in a parking lot. Hey, it's all part of the fun.
The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful, with desert and more desert to look at, until things started getting greener halfway across Texas. Then it got dark, Ryan put his foot down in an attempt to make up some time, and we got pulled over for speeding. Luck was on our side and we only received a warning but Ryan half-jokingly said he wasn't driving any more as things only went wrong when he was behind the wheel. I finished the trip, if only to make sure we actually got there. As it turned out, Friday had been washed out at the Roundup, with torrential rain, so we hadn't missed much. The show itself was a blast as always, especially as each evening is spent cruising South Congress, watching bands in the local clubs or at Austin Speed Shop, and generally having a ball. Not that that's hard to do in Austin!
Most show-goers left town on Sunday, with a bunch staying to drive out to Ski Shores caf on the river for lunch before heading home, but we elected to stay another night, enjoy Austin as it usually is without the car show crowds, and head home Monday. With an ever-dropping needle on the voltmeter, a quick stop at an auto parts store netted a new alternator, and the truck behaved perfectly all the way home. Well, perfectly that is if you ignore the fact it always runs hot, and the temperature in Arizona and California was nudging 105 degrees as we trekked across the desert. The roof held the heat in, and it wasn't until we hit on the idea of emptying three bags of ice on the floor that we managed to cool down. Bizarre, as only a few hours before we'd been wearing virtually all the clothes we'd brought with us in an effort to stay warm before sunrise.
The almost-3000 mile round trip took about 21 hours each way, ignoring our brief motel stops and fixin' the truck, which really didn't allow for much more than blasting along interstates. Maybe next year we'll spend three or four days traveling each way and enjoy some two lane roads. That'll be a neat road trip. And we have almost a year to figure how to pitch it to the boss!

Ryan did his best dog whisperer impression when these two little fellas ran out yapping when we stopped at the roadside to replace the fuel filter.The Chuckle Brothers enjoying the cold New Mexico air. It must have been down around freezing at about 3 a.m. when we pulled into Lordsburg to grab a couple hours of shuteye.Our one and only panic stop of the trip occurred when we heard a noise that sounded like the wiring harness frying. Turned out it was just a piece of duct tape we'd put across the front of the roof to seal it from coming loose. Guess cheap 200-mph tape is only good for 80-mph!Makin' our way across the California desert at sunset, followed by toy haulers heading for the Glamis sand dunes.
Glad I packed the scissor jack from my F-150 daily driver, I crawled underneath to figure out why the steering had gone sloppy after a couple hours of sleep and a warm shower.Bagged and blown. Zack Hardy's '61 Ford was running hoodless, and we would too if we wanted to show off the late-model Ford Cobra OHC motor. A bagged IFS gets the front end down.After three hours crawling around autoparts stores in two towns, we finally struck gold at Autozone in Deming, New Mexico, who had the Caprice center steering link and idler arm in stock.It's hard to top a '59 El Camino in the cool stakes, but slam it and fill the bed with a neat bike and you'll have succeded.Bruce's Rod Shop has one of the coolest shop trucks I've seen, and I'll bet the four-carbed small-block surprises a few people as its outward appearance is, er, "antique."
The inclement weather lasted until late Saturday morning, but that didn't deter showgoers such as Johnny Kreepo in his '50 Chevy, who drove over from Port Arthur.


text: I can tell you its not fun. Not only is it painfull, but to me its kind off embarassing. I can't believe at the age of 42 I have to use the hand rail to climb the stars at home, I feel like a 80 year old man. I've always had some kind of back pain, but never to this extent. The pain is not even in my back, it's my hip and leg that are the problem, It's a strange deal.

I believe a trophy is in the eye of the beholder not the numbers behind it and I would suspect the eastmans crew would agree. Congratulations to the kid for his trophy. The idea of an animal only being a trophy if it scores a certain number is part of the problem with "trophy" hunters. What happened to having fun in the great outdoors and enjoying your time in it and if you are able to harvest an animal that is just a part of the experience, IMHO...

Blew the dust off a bear monday in the mt emily unit but could find him. Saw a great big cinamon colored boar he was a little to far for a shot though. Could walk 15ft without seeing a pile of bear crap.
For me, this was my first bear. I'm still learning a lot about bear hunting and while it may not be the "trophy bear" that everyone gets excited about, I am proud of this kill. It was not easy. I took time to research the area I was hunting, find the spot that I believed would hold bear due to food source, water source, cover and protection, and then I hunted this draw on 4 separate occasions. I could hear the bears tearing stumps up on a couple of occasions but never got to see them. Finally this sow revealed herself and I was successful. It was a steep downhill shot, with a new gun I was unfamiliar with at 180yds. So for me this is a trophy. No one showed me where or how to hunt this unit; I learned a great deal and maybe next time by "trophy" will be bigger. But to me it was still a successful hunt.
Add to that, on the coastal range bears have become much more prolific, as have cougar. The deer and elk population are impacted as their young can often be the food source. I feel I've also been doing my part of effective and ethical management. I know people who have been hunting bear for many more years than me who haven't even had the opportunity of a shot this season yet. I'm delighted with my start and growth in learning about successful bear hunting
Hey Leveller. You shouldn't have to explain yourself. If that bear was a trophy to you that's all that matters. I'm still trying to get my first bear. Great job!

Hi everyone (zimbra staff especially),
I know theese questions have been asked, but some time has passed, so I will ask them again...
Is Zimbra production ready - if not when will it be?
What to do to change zimbra packages with distro packages (on RHEL, CentOS, Debian) - if there are some packages not to change - which and why?
What hardware do I need for about 2000 users (200 regular users, and rest are restricted /just email - pop3 and webmail/)
I am asking this because I am in proces of creating new email system which should replace Lotus Domino (v. 6.0.x), and it is, i may say that, urgent.

Switched-On Bach ~ Wendy Carlos
Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach is one of those rare novelty recordings that never gets boring. In the capable hands of Carlos, Bach's keyboard masterpieces sound like they were made for the otherworldly blurps, farts, and chimes of a Moog synthesizer. And, in a sense, they were. Bach's inventive music doesn't lose any of it's contrapuntal punch in these complicated arrangements and, novelties aside, the playing is great on this Grammy Award-winning classic. Whether performing Bach's "Two-Part Inventions," "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," or "Wachet Auf," Carlos offers one-of-a-kind interpretations, her synthesizers still sounding as otherworldly as they did in 1968. This is one of those weird and wonderful classical releases that anyone--classical scholar or pop enthusiast--can enjoy. A Switched-On box set exists, capturing most of Carlos's baroque-gone-berserk output, but this is the disc that started it all. In a word, fun. --Jason Verlinde

Buildings You Have to See Before You Die
by Suzanne Wales. Posted Jul 31st 2010 05:47 PM
Continue ReadingCompleted at the end of the last millennium, Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is often quoted as being the 20th century's greatest building. Over a decade later, its familiar titanium ribbons have lost none of their luster, and its ship-like form has defined this once unheard of northern Spanish city forever, coining the term the "Guggenheim effect". The building set high standards for the museums that have followed, with renowned architects being brought in to create bold structures that draw crowds.

An extensive review of the categories and criteria used to list species on the IUCN Red List, called for in 1996, has been completed by the Species Survival Commission (SSC). The revised Red List Categories and Criteria were published in 2001, with a second edition released in 2012, and are available in IUCN's three official languages: English; Français; Español
The review, involving broad consultation with users and organizations from around the world, has produced a clearer, more open, and easy-to-use system. With particular attention paid to marine species, harvested species, and population fluctuations, the review has refined the effectiveness of the Red List Categories and Criteria as indicators of extinction risk.
The IUCN Red List System was first conceived in 1963 and set a global standard for species listing and conservation assessment efforts. For more than 30 years SSC has been evaluating the conservation status of species and subspecies on a global scale - highlighting those threatened with extinction and promoting their conservation.
Over time, IUCN recognized that a more objective and scientific system for determining threat status, as well as a more accurate system for use at the national and regional level were needed. The IUCN Red List Categories evolved over a four-year period through extensive consultation and testing involving more than 800 SSC members, and the wider scientific community. The more precise and quantitative Red List Categories were adopted by IUCN in 1994.
Then in 1996, IUCN members called for a further review to ensure that the criteria were applicable to a wide range of organisms, especially long-lived species, and species under intensive management. In addition, SSC was asked to ensure the highest standards of documentation (information supplied to justify a listing), information management, and scientific credibility.
The revised Categories were adopted by IUCN Council in February 2000 and, following further refinement, have been published. They will help place SSC and IUCN at the forefront of biodiversity analyses that contribute to scientific discovery and to political policies related to conservation at local, national and regional levels.
New areas of conservation biology research have been spawned by the review process, and many papers have already appeared in the scientific literature about the use of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. SSC will leave this system unchanged for a period long enough to allow genuine changes in conservation status to be monitored. Stability in the categorization system is essential if the IUCN Red List is to be used as a reliable indicator of trends in biological diversity.
The Authority Files used for the documentation standards as described in Annex 3 of the Categories and Criteria. Guidelines for Using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria are also available and address many of the issues raised in the process of reviewing the 1994 Categories and Criteria. These guidelines explain how the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria should be applied to determine whether a taxon belongs in a category of threat, and give examples from different taxonomic groups to illustrate the application of the criteria. They also provide detailed explanations of the definitions of the many terms used in the criteria. The guidelines should be used in conjunction with the official IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria booklet (IUCN 2001). Note that these guidelines differ from the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional Levels, which apply to regional and national assessments.

In 1976, the Raptor Recovery Center was organized as a project of the Wachiska Audubon Society of Lincoln. Since its beginning, the Raptor Recovery Center has treated more than 6,000 birds of prey, and better than 50 percent of those have been released back to the wild. This makes the percentage of birds released one of the highest in the nation.

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J (WUSA) -- Merck & Co., will pay $688 million to settle two lawsuits.
Shareholders say the pharmaceutical company failed to release information about its popular cholesterol drugs, misleading consumers and investors.
Merck and its partner at the time, Schering-Plough, marketed two cholesterol drugs, Vytorin and Zetia, as being more effective than they actually were.
In early 2008, the company finally released study results. The results proved that Vytorin and Zetia were just as beneficial as the inexpensive generic pill, Zocor.
Thus Merck stock fell - hurting investors.
AP reports, "Merck, which is based in Whitehouse, N.J., says it agreed to the settlement because it's in the best interest of the company and current shareholders."
Although Merck has agreed to pay the $688 million, the company believes it shouldn't be held accountable.

Navy doc awarded Silver Star
Hospital corpsman ignored his own wounds, gunfire
When the bomb blasted his truck into the air and insurgents started shooting, "Doc Flores" went to work. The Navy hospital corpsman was deafened by the explosion. He couldn't hear the bullets whizzing by, but he saw his Marines lying in the street.
Petty Officer 1st Class Benny Flores ran back and forth four times through gunfire to administer aid and help the wounded take cover from the ambush, military officials said. Blood from his own shrapnel wounds flowed down his arm, mingling with the blood of his comrades smeared across his tattered uniform sleeves.
For his actions April 28, 2012 in southwestern Afghanistan, Flores was awarded the Silver Star Friday at Camp Pendleton. He was selected for the nation's third-highest medal for valor in combat because of the lifesaving medical care he provided several U.S. and Afghan troops despite heavy gunfire and his own serious injuries, the Marine Corps announced.
Flores, a soft-spoken, humble sailor who grew up in Guam and Tinian, didn't wake up that morning thinking "today's the day I'm going to be a hero," Maj. Gen. Charles Mark Gurganus said at the ceremony on the 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company parade deck.
Yet "even with his own wounds, he saw what needed to be done and he acted," demonstrating extraordinary bravery and selflessness, Gurganus said.
Flores, now 30, was the field service medical technician for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force that day in the Zaranj district of Nimruz province, a relatively peaceful area near Iran.
The Marines and Afghan Uniform Police were returning to camp after a routine visit to a border checkpoint under construction when a suicide bomber struck their convoy of unarmored pickups.
Flores was riding in the bed of the truck when a man pushing a handcart packed with explosives and ball bearings triggered the explosion, according to Michael M. Phillips, a Wall Street Journal reporter who wrote an eyewitness account.
It was so powerful it launched the truck onto the median under a column of billowing smoke. Then insurgents began firing from multiple directions on the stunned troops.
"Doc Flores appeared beside them," Phillips wrote in his article "Under Attack," recipient of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation award this year for overseas reporting on the Marine Corps.
"The explosion had left bright red skid marks where it had burned the back of his neck. The sleeve of his camouflage shirt had been shredded and hung loose on his left arm, which was perforated by metal fragments. He ignored his own wounds…"
The homemade bomb exploded next to the passenger door of the cab where Marine Master Sgt. Scott Pruitt was seated. The 38-year-old military accountant from Camp Pendleton had volunteered for the combat tour, his first. He was killed on the eve of his retirement.
Flores met Pruitt two days before. He was surprised to find the master sergeant standing post at camp, giving his Marines a rest. They chatted for a long time about their daughters, he recalled.
Shrapnel sliced deeply into Pruitt's neck and legs. He was unresponsive when Flores reached him but the corpsman applied tourniquets to both legs anyway. He couldn't feel a pulse. "I just prayed to God we could still save him," Flores said.
Perhaps no one is confronted more intimately with the horrors of war than hospital corpsmen and medics. When explosives rip apart a human body or stop a beating heart, the person the corpsman tries to save is often a friend or comrade.
Afterward, they often overlook the many they saved, haunted by the ones they couldn't.
For Doc Flores, his own concussion and lacerations were serious enough to require hospitalization. He didn't worry about that until he was airborne with the wounded in the medevac flight to Camp Bastion.

Sketches with a 40"
Posted 16 September 2012 - 11:32 AM
It was the first light of a 40 » FD3 telescope I made. I use it for about a year and it has always been a frustration not to be able to make some drawings (to be honest I'm a very bad at that game ) to really show the kind of image this telescope can deliver.
Last august, a group used the 40" and the 32" for a week. Among them was Frédéric Burgeot. I have always loved Frédéric's work because of its incredible accuracy and rendering. Nights were great, Sqm value were between 21.4 and 21.6 and the seeing was really good. It was easy to use high power, 600x to 1500x. A good opportunity to draw planetary nebula and great other great objects of the summer sky !
Frédéric spend time at the 40" while the rest of the group observe with the 32". It was a real pleasure to see the slow work in progress. He got incredible eyesight and really know how to draw…. Good for us is also an accomplish observer
Blue Snowball :
The ring nebula is Saturday September 15 APOD M57
Cat's eye, a real beauty (thanks Fred for the original drawing, it's a gem ) NGC 6543
The beautifull planetary nebula NGC 7008
A great Crescent nebula,
The pillars of creation,
Bubble nebula, NGC 7635, unfortunately too late, the sun was going up fast…
Nebula in M33,
The showpiece Saturn Nebula,
And a galaxy, the beautifull NGC891

Many thanks for the links.

Can't agree more ! Is really a gifted observer,
On planets, drawings are also amazing :
A friend of him use a software to have a spherical projection, the rendering is.... I let you see !
"The amount of detail evident in these sketches is literally jaw-dropping. I've looked through a 32-inch a couple times. Now I really want to look through a 40.
Their is definitely a more detailed image in the 40". During this week we got a very good seeing, each time we start by pointing the 32" on a target, the image was already really impressive, but next, in the 40", it was a second waouuu, more things to see !

As to the red in the M57 drawing, I do suspect a combination of illusion and bias operating here, for the reasons outlined in the thread about this sketch on APOD.

Here we have a powerful demonstration of the lousy resolution of the eye at low light levels. Here we see in a 40" visually what is readily recorded in an image using a mere 3".
As to the red in the M57 drawing, I do suspect a combination of illusion and bias operating here, for the reasons outlined in the thread about this sketch on APOD.
I'd agree with that about the color, at least in suspecting the possibilities.
Posted 19 September 2012 - 01:13 AM
I see that there are suspicious people...
I only regret that they have not been there to see in the eyepiece. I hope they looked in a 40'' telescope (or more) with great seeing conditions at least once.
Thank you whirlpoolm51 for talking about your similar experience in a 38'' scope.
About the reddish color of the external parts of M57, all the 6 persons that were there have seen it. But we endless can discuss the honesty and expertise of the 6 observers.
The general blue color was obvious to me.
I found some images to compare with my drawing of the cat's eye.
I think the sketch is quite similar the upper right image, for the shape and the texture. Of course, if we count precisely the filaments represented in the sketch, we can find that it's over interpreted and that the observer doesn't know when to quit !
Everyone will make it's own opinion watching this pictures.
Compared to the other pictures, the lower right picture shows different aspect, some portions appear more obsiously while others tend to disappear. The outlines of the two large rings are another form. The «red arms» are larger.
This shows that the result depends on the CCD sensor, its sensitivity to certain wavelenghts. The image processing occurs to.
What I mean is that Hubble pictures are not the unique way to validate observations. You should take complementary pictures for that.
«Here we have a powerful demonstration of the lousy resolution of the eye at low light levels. Here we see in a 40" visually what is readily recorded in an image using a mere 3"».
On the cat's eye, I'm not sure that a mere 3'' telescope should show the tiny details viewed in the 40'':-)). just look at the sketch.
We are not comparing digital imagery with visual observation, it's obvious that the first goes farther for detecting faint light. Is this a reason to abandon the pleasure of visual observing ?
Don't confuse resolution and low brightness perception.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of opportunities to look in a big telescope. Visions are very different.
My point of view, those night the seeing was really good. It was possible to use about 700x to 800x on Jupiter without any problem and keep a very good image. On my observing site, I often use 1000x on PN and one of the night was even better, so for a very good observer, the possibility to catch small details were very good.
For the reddish color pereception : I have personnaly always see red colors in M42, since the night I saw it on a 16". I see green/blue as easily on it despite many people can see this color. With the aperture I can see this reddish color on other object. IC 418 of course, obvious for many observers, also on the external last "layer" of NGC 7009 and M57. I ask childrens about NGC 6543 without give the a clue about that possibilities and some of them speak about pink/red color on the perimeter of the np.
So, if I have to make a drawing of M42 or one of those planetary nebula with this reddish color, I draw it because it's my own perception. Unfortunately I don't know how to draw but Frédéric Burgeot know and I was really happy to see what I see on paper. If I want to make a representation without human perception, I take a pic but unfortunately even for that the software work on the pic got a human perception influence. It's obvious for example on Jupiter, saturation color, contrast, wavelets and other things are based on human perception. Give an AVI files to two different amateur astronomer and they will give two different Jupiters.
Posted 19 September 2012 - 02:20 AM
But for low surface brightness objects where color is impossible to detect, the eye's resolving power is very much worse and the camera greatly surpasses it. This would apply to such a nebula as M16, and even more so those objects which barely announce their presence through the air glow.
Not all planetaries are alike. They differ over a large range in surface brightness, relative emission line strength, apparent size, and of course structural detail. While there are a handful in which red is certainly at the detection threshold, I'm pretty sure the H-alpha in M57 is fairly well below this. The same goes for M27 (and most assuredly the Helix, NGC7293.)
Posted 19 September 2012 - 03:53 AM
I have own 16/22/32 and 40", the things I learn is, it's hard to guess what's visible or not and the potential of the instrument till we got an eye at the eyepiece. I observe the veil nebula at about 270 to 350x to see details that I tought where absolutely invisible.
I never see color in M27 personnaly, "only" parts of the external shell, I also don't see any tint in Helix, but on M57 when seeing/transparency is good, at low power it's obvious on the outer edge, easier than on the central part of the nebula, but if I increase the power the colors slowly disapear. We definitely got different perception, observe with a group of amateurs immediately show how the image we record with the eye are different.
On M42, during a great night with the 32", I ask a couple of visitor how was the image, the answer was "many colors visible". Their is a "rainbow like" area next to the brightest part of the nebula, the outter parts look reddish. This was their first sight in a telescope. I can't supect them to any interpretation because they were not astronomers and didn't know the object they where looking at and what expect on them.

Thanks for sharing these amazing drawings. It seems that some are skeptical but all to often I've experienced that side,side one observer sees details that the other cannot. I use to easily see the reds in M42 on transparent evenings in my 16",my very experienced observering friend did not. He could always see Antares companion while I could not. The point being,everyone's eyes and experience are different.I was most interested in your comment that you were able to watch the work in progress (paraphrasing). To me,this removes reason for doubt,should one have doubt.I see these as splenid representations from a skilled observer and artist with great equipment.I really appreaciate your posting of these and hope to see more!

about details: when i've started to observe on a regular base i was always sceptical about the sketches a fellow amateur did. he had a background of about 15 years of astronomical sketching. but after a couple of years I've started to see the details I did not believe earlier. now my limiting magnitude is deeper with about 1.5m. that's enough for a LOT of extra details. and i've glimpsed details i could see only on the better photos. but as i never check out any of the objects before the observation but decide what to see on an ad hoc basis, i know that what i've seen was not a game of my memories, but the proof that the eye is a REALLY sensitive instrument.

* One is the "vagueness" of the positioning of the finest of details - at the eyepiece you may only get a relative sense of position of a detail, and the pencil mark is not 100% precise and rather "stunted". This also shows a lot of experience and confidence in technique as so much of these details are done through averted vision. Experience also tells you both "when to quit", and what you can and can't add with certainty.
* Another is the selection of the colours - they are limted to really two, maybe three, not a complete colour palate.
This last point show's that Fred's colour perception is exceptional, particularly at low light levels. Good colour perception is more difficult in as males than women, with at least 1/3 of all males have colour blindness in one form or another, from very mild through to no colour perception at all. Colour blindness in women is not very common by comparison. The range of responses show this variation in colour perception.
Just my opinion.

That don't change much things as those stars are really bright but seems that's not the case for him.

WEST LIBERTY - The West Liberty University football team had Glenville State on the ropes coming down the stretch Saturday but couldn't deliver the knockout punch and the Pioneers slipped out of town with a 17-14 victory.
"We have to learn how to win," Hilltopper head coach Roger Waialae said. "We made plays on both sides of the ball today against a very good football team. If one more play swings our way at any point, we're probably walking out of here with a win. We just couldn't come up with that play."
Glenville (2-3, 2-0) jumped out to a 14-0 lead on two first-quarter TD passes by senior quarterback Darold Hughes. The veteran signalcaller tossed a 6-yarder to Darian Cleckley following an early West Liberty (2-3, 1-2) turnover and closed out the quarter with a 29-yard post route to Orlandus Harris.
The Pioneers, who entered the game averaging 37 points and nearly 500 yards of total offense against NCAA Division II competition, appeared on their way to another offensive extravaganza only to see the Hilltopper defense slam the door.
West Liberty held Glenville to just one field goal over the final three quarters and limited the Pioneers to just 285 yards of total offense while intercepting a season-high 5 passes.
W&J 28, Bethany 26
WASHINGTON - Bethany misfired on a 2-point conversion attempt with less than a minute remaining and Washington & Jefferson held on for PAC victory against Bethany.
The Bison (0-4 overall, 0-2 PAC) led 20-7, but watched the Presidents (4-1, 3-0) take a 28-20 lead.
Matt Grimard hit freshman Eric Blinn for a 21-yard touchdown with 54 seconds left to cut the deficit to two.
Grimard's conversion attempt Johnathan Foster was broken up, securing W&J's victory.

Hello, folks!
It appears that Take Two has a new game on the ready-set-go, codenamed 000A at the Australian Classification Board. Speculations and comments on the meanings of this little snippet are all-over. So What's your pick? Because i really hope is Agent!

Problem is, usually we know quite a bit about the game before it gets rated. I remember the hype of IV getting its ratings. The fact that it is a "code name" and only in Austrailia makes me think they're testing those rocky Aussie waters.
I vote L.A. Noire since it is in the final stages of production and features bloody/gruesome crime scenes. If the Aussies feel it is too much, R* has time to make adjustments before submitting for a final rating.

I was about to say "Fuck Australia, they're not dumbing down my L.A. Noire!" But with Team Bondi being based there, I suppose it's important (if it is L.A. Noire) to get things right with the board. It'll be helping boost Australias image in the gaming map of the world. Last thing they need is a game that no magazine or TV network will advertise.
Edit: Let's not just presume it's a Rockstar game anyway, could be a 2K game.

I did hear somewhere about a game called 1976 or something from R*. Something to do with the war in Iran. Not sure where i heard it. I've looked for it on the net with no avail. i think i heard it on the radio from one of the developer directors.

Just had this discussion with my roommate a few days ago. It's "1979: The Game" by former GTA team member Navid Khonsari (director, voices, some other things). It's by his own company not Rockstar Games.

will this be the theme song??
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

LeBron James could, if he so chooses, be a free agent next summer. Any discussion of the buzz around the 2014 offseason must start there, with the best player in the world able to terminate his contract and poke his head into new possible situations. For Miami, James' current team, that's a frightening thought, especially because teams like the Lakers and James' original team, the Cavaliers, will be flush with spending money.
It doesn't stop at James, though. Some of the biggest names in the league will have the ability to be free agents next year, and while the bulk of those players will be on the backside of their careers, their futures create both opportunities and problems for their current teams.

2 LeBron James
James is almost certain to opt out of the final two years of his deal, which are slated to pay him more than $42 million. The Lakers and their cap space will be enticing, as will the opportunity to return to Cleveland and rebuild his image in his hometown. But James came to Miami with a mission, and you'd have to think it is still unfinished. It would be awkward if he jumped ship again.
3 Kobe Bryant
At the end of last summer, it looked like Bryant would play out his contract and retire, leaving the Lakers to build around Dwight Howard. That hasn't worked out so well, and the Achilles injury Bryant has suffered has only seemed to brace him and make him want to play even longer. But what should the Lakers pay him?
4 Carmelo Anthony
Anthony can opt out of the last year and $24 million on his contract, putting the Knicks in an odd position. They have the superstar they've long sought, but they've probably reached their ceiling as far as winning goes. Committing to Anthony is all but accepting the second round of the playoffs as the maximum achievement they're going to reach.
5 Dirk Nowitzki
Nowitzki is a bit like Bryant, only with fewer miles. The Mavericks have virtually no supporting cast and will have to decide whether to keep him and have him retire with Dallas or let him walk and seek a better opportunity to win.
6 Chris Bosh
Bosh isn't a shoo-in to opt out, with two years and $42 million ahead, but it would make sense for him to cut his current deal short and seek a five-year contract. But the Heat are going to get hammered by luxury taxes, so whether they want to keep Bosh and pay exorbitant bills will be up for debate.
7 Luol Deng
Deng has been a loyal soldier through some rough times in Chicago, and he has been an iron man on the court, leading the league in minutes per game the last two seasons. But the Bulls have tax concerns themselves, and as difficult as it would be to let Deng go, Chicago might not have a choice.
8 Tim Duncan
Duncan has a player option worth $10.3 million, and even if he exercises it, he would only do so to rework a contract with the Spurs. So, he could be a free agent, but he's not going anywhere.
9 Zach Randolph
Randolph has a player option worth $16.5 million, and most players at his level would quickly opt out of that for a long-term contract. But Randolph will be 33 next summer, and he has slowed a bit. Opting out might not be the best idea.
10 Pau Gasol
Gasol will be 34 next summer, and though he has been a good Laker, it is probably time for him to move on. If he'd be willing to take a pay cut in order to win, he could be the kind of piece that puts a team over the top.
11 Dwyane Wade
Wade is in the same situation as James and Bosh, but is less likely to opt out because of his age (he will be 32) and his injury concerns. Two years and $41 million is too much to pass up.
12 Rudy Gay
Gay has one year and $19 million left on his deal, and while no one is going to repeat the mistake of handing him another max contract, he will opt out of that and look for a long-term contract.
13 Paul Pierce
The Nets only have Pierce under contract for one year, though they have Garnett on board for two. If the team plays up to its potential, you'd have to think Brooklyn would want to keep Pierce and Garnett together for another go-round, and that Pierce would be willing.

Our 77 Series metal intake kits for trucks and SUV's combine outstanding performance and under-the-hood style. Many consumers will opt for the visual appeal of these kits. The metallic finishes are bold and beautiful. Polished finish kit parts end in "KP". Grey finish kits end in "KG".
Restriction can exist BETWEEN an air filter and the engine reducing the benefit of a K&N Air Filter alone. The weakest link in the airflow "chain" robs a vehicle of its natural horsepower. Often that weak point is the factory air path leading to the Engine. K&N Air Intake Kits virtually eliminate air path restriction by replacing the air filter and the entire air path to the engine. The aerodynamically engineered aluminum tube drives a massive amount of air into an engine, which translates into POWER.
These 77 Series kits are truly hand-crafted pieces of art. Available with polished aluminum or gunmetal grey powder coated tubes, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before each cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). Most 77 Series Kits include a heat shield designed to seal against a vehicle's hood to isolate the air intake from engine heat. Cooling the air that travels into the engine can increase horsepower all by itself. All our metal intake kits use adapters made from high strength materials such as silicon and reinforced nylon and ensures long life. These kits come standard with powder coated steel brackets.
