Montgomery, Ala.
Two Alabama state lawmakers are asking for $100 million in bonds to replace school textbooks with digital devices.
Republican state Sen. Gerald Dial of Lineville and Rep. Jim McClendon of Springville told The Anniston Star that textbooks are obsolete and they estimate the state could eventually save $15 million by replacing the books with laptops or tablet computers.
The two sponsored the Alabama Ahead Act in 2012, which established a board and gave it the authority to issue up to $100 million to buy digital equipment for students.
A new bill they've sponsored would give the board authority to issue $100 million in bonds for the devices.
Bills on the issue have already been pre-filed in the House and Senate in preparation for the 2014 legislative session.

Thanks to a tweet by James Larosa (and the stalkeratti) the rumored budding romance between Maria Sharapova + the LA Lakers Sasha Vujacic is def AWN - well, as much as a photo of two happy looking people strolling down a sidewalk holding hands can say.
So I guess the race to name this coupling will begin. Somebody shoot me if I start.

Whenever you see Shrieka out and about, you see her wearing those damn pants! Urgh!ReplyDelete
They look good together. Boring, but happy.
A name?
It's all horrible.
Wow, good piece gossip! ;-)ReplyDelete

Start your beauty routine right with Janson Beckett toners and clarifiers, the foundation of good skincare. Toners are used to remove the last traces of cleanser and add refreshing minerals to penetrate deeply into your skin. Clarifiers bring out a warm glow and prepare skin for the next step in your skincare regimen.
Janson Beckett toners and clarifiers contain a range of key anti-aging ingredients, but two that stand out for their particular effectiveness are argireline and DMAE. AH3 HexaPeptide (argireline) relaxes facial tension to reduce wrinkles wherever it touches, much like a topical application of Botox without the completely paralyzing side-effects. Janson Beckett toners and clarifiers that contain argireline are always formulated with the maximum recommended amount—10 percent strength.
Beauty products containing DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) help to firm and tighten the top layers of your skin, restoring youthful appearance all day long. With continued use, beauty products from Janson Beckett that contain DMAE restore skin's youthful bounce and vigor. Who wouldn't appreciate the convenience of a "facelift in a jar" to avoid surgical facelift procedures? Give Janson Beckett toners and clarifiers a chance to reduce signs of skin aging and help you present your best skin to the world.
If you've never tried a toner and clarifier before, you're in for a treat with Janson Beckett toners and clarifiers. On the other hand, if you've tried every product on the market, you may have just found the solution you were looking for in energizing and soothing beauty products from Janson Beckett.
Once skin is cleansed and refreshed, take the first step in your anti-aging beauty treatment routine by gently applying Janson Beckett AH3 HexaPeptide Facial Skin Prep, which enhances the power of all Janson Beckett anti-aging products that follow. Trace minerals slide easily into cleaned pores and improve the health of your skin from the inside out. Mineral deficiencies in your skin cells cause them to get tired, just as your body does when you lack proper nutrition. Janson Beckett facial skin prep delivers a powerful mineral boost right where your skin needs it.
Smooth the moisturizing formula carefully around your face, paying particular attention to the forehead and mouth areas and extending up to your hairline for complete coverage. Once Janson Beckett AH3 Facial Skin Prep is absorbed, you're ready to proceed with your beauty routine.
Some toners contain harsh chemicals that tighten and dry out your face. Janson Beckett Certified Organic Skin Toner is thoughtfully formulated to refresh your skin's pH levels, which balances all skin types—oily, combination, or dry. Janson Beckett toner is an herb garden in a bottle: relaxing lavender, refreshing raspberry, revitalizing angelica, calming chamomile, stimulating ginger, gently astringent sage, antibiotic thyme, oil-controlling geranium, and glowing hibiscus. The finishing touches on this certified organic herbal skin toner include healing aloe vera and nourishing Hawaiian seaweed, both prized for their minerals and antioxidant properties.
Janson Beckett stands behind this skincare product and proudly labels it "certified organic" with all-natural botanical ingredients. That's a high honor that most beauty treatments can't claim.

Ratings for Dr. Neal G. Breit
The longest waiting time ever. They don't respect your time.
Dr. Breit saved my life and my fetus's life while I was pregnant. I met him in the emergency room in 2010, and I have been his patient since that day. After years of hospital and doctors trips, I am in the best health ever under his care. He thoroughly reviews all your records, and finds real diagnososes and treatments for sometimes uncommon issues. I like that he listens to your needs and concerns and doesn't always rush to medication. He has called me on several occasions at home and has taken calls very late when I had some emergencies. He has a new office with a much more organized staff as of 2013. Dr. Breit's staff cuts my waiting room time down by calling me the day of and letting me know what time I should actually head to the office. He is a wonderful person and doctor, who is always trying to improve his services for his patients.
Dr. Breit is the best doctor I've even been to. You will have to wait long in his waiting room, but that's only because he spends as much time with you as needed. Each time I went to him, he spent at lease an hour and a half with me. Sometimes more. He never rushes you. Answers all of your questions. He'll let you go on and on and listen to ever word. He's very thorough. He's the only doctor that was able to help me. And to top it all off, he has a great sense of humor. Had me constantly laughing. Since I'm the worst hypochondriac, he was just what I needed. I've never in my life gone to a doctor who spent so much time with me and really listed, understood and was so great at what he does! I'd give him 10 stars if I could! I wish I could have given him a 5 for punctuality, but like I said, he's only late because he gives you all the time you need.
Dr. Breit is wonderful. Spent 1 hour with me. I am a diabetic for 4 years and have a thyroid history since 1974. Asked me medical questions no one has ever asked me and seemed very interested in me and said something at the end no doctor has ever said to me about problem I've had; "Don't worry we're going to get you better". I did have to wait but like everyone else said, the wait was worth it.
Dr. Breit is an amazing doctor, but his front staff is the worst I have ever dealt with. They don't pick up the phone, responses take forever, medication refills forget about it. Overall great doctor if you are healthy, do not recommend if you are sick because you will never get your calls answered, and if you do you will never get an appointment.
Essentially, there is a wait to see dr Breit considering how much time he actually spends with his patients. My illness forced upon a life full of doctor visits and I personally- would rather wait to see a doctor who actually cares and spends time to thoroughly address all my questions and concerns rather than not wait to see a dr who ends up kicking me out of the office after 10 mins. I was a sick, charity care patient facing death at the age of 26 & not a single dr wanted to see me at the hospital, let alone treat me. That's how I met dr Breit. He literally saved my life. He's incredibly smart, caring, and funny too! It's sad that so many doctors forget the hippocratic oath they take. But I thank God everyday for the very few doctors like Dr Breit that actually mean it when they swear: "I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice." I hope he never retires!! :)
The good news is that Dr. Breit was very understanding and spent a long time working through my paperwork to figure out how best to treat me. Since it was a Thyroid problem, I was started on a very low dose and tried to work up gradually. Unfortunately, getting another appointment was almost impossible. I was diagnosed and then waited 6 weeks to up my medication, 30 days plus he went on vacation for an additional 2 weeks. I was so sick for those weeks but waited. Then dosage was increased again. Back and forth we went with limited appointments available. Once I was called while I was on the way to his office to be told that he had an emergency. If I couldn't make it in the next day, I would have to wait 2 week! He's staff is difficult, rude and arrogant. Having to deal with them made me finally walk away from Dr. Breit.
Dr Breit is an amazing doctor. He is knowledgable about a variety of metabolic disorders and does his best to thoroughly explain your condition. It is true that you often have to wait for a lengthy period of time, but that is because he devotes so much time to each patient and doesn't rush you out of the room like most doctors. He has been the only doctor to really explain my disorders to me and has helped me to get and stay well. Anytime I have an issue he is there to help, even called me from home once because he was concerned with one of my test results. Highly recommend him, just be prepared to wait.
I concur. The doctor is brilliant, but I have NEVER run across a more incompetent and rude staff. They do not return calls, they then make the same call multiple times and if you have a problem they offer no assistance. When I pointed this out to them, they simply didn't care. It is absolutely mind blowing. I will likely be changing doctors because I spend more time interacting with the staff than the doctor, and it isn't worth the stress they add to trying to get things taken care of.

More than a year after the passage of health care reform and with several court challenges still ahead, health benefits experts say employers appear committed to offering health care benefits for employees. Yet employers are searching for help with implementing the new legislation and what they should offer.
Pearce Weaver, senior vice president at Fidelity Consulting Services in The Woodlands, Texas, says it's crucial for employers to closely follow changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March 2010, while also conducting financial and other impact analyses relating to health care reform.
"Employers feel they still have an obligation to continue to offer benefits, because they truly believe the employer delivery system is efficient and effective," Weaver says. "Our clients are watching closely to see what happens when the legislation and administrative requirements are finalized, however, most are determined to get through it."
A survey released in early 2011 by the Midwest Business Group on Health and co-sponsored by Workforce Management and sister publication Business Insurance found that 53 percent of all employers and 67 percent of large employers do not plan to drop health benefits, while 22 percent said it is likely they would consider dropping them. The survey, which was conducted between Nov. 29 and Dec. 15, 2010, drew responses from 430 employers, of which 43 percent have more than 500 U.S. employees.
Steve Raetzman, a partner with consulting firm Mercer in Washington, D.C., notes that health care reform legislation will force employers to deal with the complexities of administration, compliance and employee engagement in a dynamic environment.
"Employers who don't offer health plans, as well as large and administratively complex organizations, need to get up to speed and decide what they are going to do," Raetzman says.
Raetzman says employers will need to create reward packages that attract and retain workers, meet new communication and administration requirements and identify new cost savings within their health care plans.
Health care reform legislation is so broad that employers are working on the immediate needs, says Karen McLeese, vice president of employee benefit regulatory affairs for CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services Inc. in Cleveland.
"Those who have the resources would like to budget for the long-term, but that's difficult because it's a long bill that offers little detail and some provisions that have enormous impact are covered in three lines," McLeese says.
McLeese senses the frustration among employers.
"They provide health care for retention purposes, but it's not their business and the business takes precedence. They are seeking partners to help them navigate through the legislation," she says. Many are simply "dealing with what they have to deal with right now."
Terri Seefeldt, area sales manager with Rogers Benefits Group, a general agent for employer group health insurance in Orlando, Florida, says most employers still don't grasp health care reform's cost and complexities.
"When I present information about health care reform to my clients, they look like they've been hit by a truck," Seefeldt says.
Columbus, Ohio-based Zangmeister Center provides health care to cancer patients. Yet executive director Glenn Balasky admits his company's expertise doesn't lie in delivering health care benefits to its 140 employees.
"We are looking at our options, preparing for future increases and finding partners to keep us informed about the new regulations," he says.
Balasky says the health care overhaul was necessary.
"There are a lot of flaws, which we see daily as a provider," Balasky says. "However, we are struggling to understand how it will play out for us as a provider of health care, and how it will impact our own plans."
Bill Hutter, CEO of Columbus, Ohio-based professional employer services firm Sequent Inc., says money will be a motivator for employees as they look at plan design under health care reform regulations.
"Businesses have to realize that we have two generations of employees who have grown up with the idea of credit card medicine and copays; the only answer for businesses is to stop being the parents and move to consumer-driven plans," Hutter says, adding that most of his clients aren't ready to make that leap.

May 28, 2016
This year's BCS title game could finally challenge the record television rating for the 2006 championship between Texas and Southern California.
That matchup had the perfect formula for broad appeal: two undefeated teams, three Heisman Trophy finalists, five lead changes and 19 seconds left when the winning touchdown was scored. The game was on in nearly 22 percent of American homes with televisions; the second-best number is under 18 percent.
Notre Dame and Alabama elements to possibly change that -- if the game is close.
The Fighting Irish are so popular they can stay independent and negotiate their own television contract, and they're competing for their first championship since the 1988 season.
ESPN senior vice president Burke Magnus says: "It sets up really remarkable possibilities."

Im thinking about making or joining a non faggy adventure time forum. Probably the later because the only adventure time forums out there are either dead because they are poorly made, or huge because they are officially supported by someone on the adventure time staff. There is a serious rarity of adventure time fan sites, which is the completely opposite from pokemon.
Anyway, I'm looking for free forum suggestions (I'm thinking BB),name suggestions, and help, and what have you. But if you can find a good AT forum out there, Ill just go there.

Oceanside Letters to the Editor, Week of Nov. 22
(Page 2 of 2)
While not nearly all-inclusive, here are some particularly noteworthy examples of dedication that deserve our thanks: the chiefs and members of our fire departments, our auxiliary police, the dedicated workers of county and village departments of public works, Town of Hempstead sanitation and highway departments, the officers of the Nassau County Police 1st and 4th Precincts, the rank-and-file workers of LIPA who helped clear the trees and restored the power (while LIPA's management proved itself inept and dysfunctional, the rank-and-file workers did a great job under horrible conditions), and of course the electrical workers who traveled from around the country to assist us in our hour of need, our community's houses of worship and other not-for-profit agencies that were organizing relief efforts from virtually the moment that Sandy pushed across Long Island.
Our community was knocked down, but not out, by Sandy. Working together, as neighbors and friends, we will be back better and stronger than ever before. I remain dedicated to seeing this through, in order to make things right. Feel free to contact me at (516) 812-3200 or via e-mail at email@example.com if I can aid you, your family or neighbors.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Bellaire coach Jose Davis cautioned his team all week about St. Clairsville's ability to ring up points in a hurry.
Seeing is believing for the Big Reds, who got a first-hand look at the Red Devils' explosiveness Friday night at Red Devil Stadium.
The Red Devils had five scoring drives that lasted three plays or less en route to a 58-14 victory against the Big Reds.

St. Clairsville's Jaylon Brown looks to avoid a defender during Friday's game against Bellaire.
''We talked all week about not being able to give up the eight-second touchdown drive and we gave them up,'' Davis said. ''Our season is nowhere near over and we've got to regroup and get back to work.''
Davis and the rest of the Big Reds might have nightmares about Red Devils junior speedster Jaylon Brown, who ran around and through the defense to a tune of 224 yards on 19 carries with five touchdowns. Brown also got involved in the passing game by hauling in three catches for 99 yards and another touchdown.
All told, Brow finished 323 yards of offense and six touchdowns.
''Jaylon is really coming into his own,'' Red Devils coach Brett McLean said.
''It's neat to watch him and how he's progressed. I can't believe the night he had. I guess we should have gotten him another yard (receiving) somewhere.''
Brown opened the scoring with an 88-yard touchdown reception from Matt Kinnick. On the next Red Devils drive, he plunged in from a yard out.
After the Big Reds made it 14-7 on a 61-yard scamper by Nick Maffe, the Red Devils went back to Brown a couple of possessions later. Brown ripped off a 65-yard scoring jaunt early in the second quarter and delivered a stiff arm of a Big Reds defender at about the 20 before racing the rest of the way.
An 11-play drive, which included three penalties that negated lengthy or scoring plays, was capped with a 26-yard field goal by the steady Zach Musilli.
The Big Reds answered as quarterback Spencer Badia, who faced pressure much of the night, found Quinton Crosby for a 29-yard touchdown pass to make it 24-14 with 66 secondsshowing before halftime.
St. C.'s Dan Monteroso returned the kick deep into Big Reds territory. He then caught back-to-back passes for 26 yards to the 2 and from there, Brown finished the drive with another touchdown, making it a 31-14 count at the break.
''This was a good team effort because it was a fist fight early,'' McLean said. ''We need tested like that and I am glad it happened. We need to be able to show character in those situations.''
The Red Devils scored on their first two plays of the third quarter. Brown went 63 yards for another touchdown and Kinnick found senior Jerrid Marhefka for a 42-yard pitch and catch.
Senior Haley Skukan, who chose the white rose which made her Homecoming Queen at halftime, was perfect on three PAT kicks in the second half.
Brown capped his day with a 4-yard plunge with less than four minutes to go in the third.
The Red Devils added a final touchdown in the fourth when senior Justin Callarik scored from 44 yards out.
Kinnick completed 11 of 19 passes for 233 yards. He was picked off for the first time this season when Nick Patrone pilfered an aerial in the first half.
Monteroso caught six balls for 80 yards, while Marhefka made two grabs for 54.
The Bellaire passing game was held primarily in check as Badia completed 8 of 22 for 96 yards and was picked off twice. Crosby caught four balls for 72 yards.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - West Liberty was leading by more than 20 points with less than 10 minutes remaining in Thursday's 110-84 victory against Winona State in an NCAA Division II Elite Eight contest inside Freedom Hall. That's right about the point in a game where most teams begin calling off the dogs, but there was sophomore C.J. Hester diving for a loose ball along the baseline. Moments later, Mike Lamberti was flying into the lane and went down hard.
"That's just how West Liberty basketball is played," junior guard Cedric Harris said. "We play hard for 40 minutes and it starts with (Alex Falk) - he gets into everyone and we feed off his energy.
"I can speak for the underclassmen and say we want to play as hard as we can for our three seniors."

Falk, along with Chris Morrow and Tim Hausfeld, are looking to win a national championship so they can leave a legacy that can be duplicated, but never bested. In trying to do so, the group is playing with a swagger, maybe even a cockiness that has rarely been seen in a West Liberty program that has had unmatched success the last four seasons, winning an NCAA Division-II record 128 games while losing just eight times.
"I would lean more toward the confident side because we're all focused," Morrow said. "We've been here before and we know what it takes to be here. That's all fun and games, but we're not satisfied.
"We're trying to win a national championship."
It certainly wasn't fun for the Warriors on Thursday. Although it possessed a front line the likes of which the Hilltoppers had never faced, Winona State fell victim to the same ills that have afflicted so many others during this streak.
West Liberty refuses to play at another team's pace. The tape tells opponents what is coming, yet nobody seems capable of doing anything about it. The Hilltoppers have a way of making teams believe they can play an up-tempo style, and sometimes it works for a short period. In the end though, it's nothing more than fool's gold.
"We wanted to go and attack them,"said Winona coach Mike Leaf, no doubt realizing after that is akin to taking a knife to a gun fight. "From a style standpoint I didn't want us to walk the ball up the floor.
"We didn't want to change that."
Perhaps it would have been better if the Warriors had. It has to be easier than changing the result, which was another in a long line of beatdowns by a Hilltoppers team that scores more than 104 a night and wins by an average of 26 points.
West Liberty has built those gaudy statistics brick by brick with a blue-collar attitude you wouldn't expect from a team that possesses so much skill. Teams that win this many games, by this many points, aren't supposed to work this hard. It defies conventional wisdom.
"That's what they say. They also said a small team like us wasn't supposed to beat a big team like Winona State," Morrow said. "The first thing in the locker room was 'on to the next one.' We celebrated for two minutes, tops. A lot of people look at us like the little kids on the block - the little pests.
"We're fine with that because if we're going to get you in our style of play, we're going to wear you down and impose our will."
Maybe the Hilltoppers are cocky, and maybe they aren't. But nobody can argue just how good they are.
"We play very well together and there are not many teams in the country that play as well as a unit, as we can," Falk said. "There are more-talented teams, definitely, but we play very well together."
One more victory and they'll be playing for all the marbles.

Kind of similar to the Obscure Music Selection thread, but I had a conversation with my wife about this last night and was curious what CF thought.
Do you listen to music in another language and why?
Personally, I listen to Jpop & Jrap and German Heavy metal mostly. I tend to focus more on the beat / tempo of the song or I am attracted to the singer's voice.
I listen to Rock Nacional from Argentina. Why? Because I've studied their twice in high school and college. Love me some Molotov, Juanes and Mana too.
My wife listens to a lot of Edith Piaf and I've come to appreciate her.
She is the French chick that you hear singing in EVERY World War 2 movie you have seen that takes place in Europe.
Not on purpose
the occasional cross over song, and the occasional opera song. not often

All the time, but I love opera.
I tend to listen to the bi-lingual bands (Ill Nino, Soulfly) or major bands in other languages (Sigur Ros, Rammstein), but that's about it.
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Sometimes Pearl Jam comes on Pandora and I can't understand a god damn thing he says, so I assume it's Greek or something, so I'll say yes.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
I have a song in French, and a few in German but that's it
I listen to Reggaeton as I speak Spanish as well.
I have been a big Rammstein fan for a number of years. My son and I went to their concert in Minneapolis last May. Great music (in any language) is worth listening to.
yes - but usually because I'm listening to old stuff from my or my husband's songs from college choirs, operaish stuff or Celtic Women. But I usually still know the words so I don't feel like that counts.
I listen to Amadou and Mariam. A group from Mali. If I were to listen to a song in a foreign language, it would probably be something from Africa.

Rammstein is awesome.
I also have a couple Sigur Ros (Icelandic band) albums that come on now and again.

I listen to SIgur Ros a lot also. Will be going to their concert in St. Paul in April. Also listen to Radio Reykjavik occassionally. A lot of good music coming out of Iceland.

|Re-1J Foundation supports academics, wellness, technology
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Status of current projects supported by the Re-1J Education Foundation were discussed by the Foundation board and Holyoke School Board just prior to the Nov. 6 school board meeting.
Currently, the Foundation's academic fund is focused on the JR/SR high science lab upgrades, the wellness fund supports the all-weather track project and the technology fund is now focused on more mobile computer labs.
At the annual conversation between the two groups, the boards not only discussed the status of each of the funds, but also determined to host an event for donors to show how the money from the Foundation has been used.
Superintendent Miles exceeds goals
The 2011-12 evaluation of Superintendent Bret Miles was completed by the board and available in the district office, as announced at last Tuesday's meeting by board president Jeff Tharp.
Miles was rated on five domains, including instructional leadership, leadership/personnel management, budget development/management, facilities management and community outreach.
Ratings were based on a high of 3.0. Miles' ratings ranged from 2.69-2.90 in the five domains.
The summary evaluation noted Miles met and exceeded the goals and key deliverables set for the school year.
Highlights included establishing the district grading pilot and academic opportunity center, involvement and detailed knowledge of the construction projects and budgets, changes in the facilities personnel positions and vastly improved website.
Strong leadership and communication skills were evident throughout the year, according to the evaluation summary.
Other business
In other busines in the short board of education meeting last week, the board:
—acknowledged two gifts: from Kellie Race for over 60 books for the Holyoke Elementary library and from Dennis Keasling for a piano for the music and band programs.
—hired extra-duty personnel as follows: Jeremy Hildebrand, JH assistant girls' basketball; Ben Rahe, HS assistant boys' basketball; and Luke Thomas, volunteer head HS girls' swimming. Wrestling coach realignment includes Jack Garrison as head JH and HS coach, with Cutter Garrison and Dusty McConnell as assistant JH and HS coaches.
—gave second-reading approval to revisions to several zero-tolerance discipline policies.
—approved the certification of completion for the roof project.
—accepted nonresident student applications for Makenzie Long, Trenton Hodge and Kyla Strecker.
—heard an overview from board member Dennis Herman of the Oct. 20 Colorado Association of School Boards delegate assembly. He recapped changes to the CASB platform and reported how the delegation voted on resolutions.

Source for cheap all-sky cam?
Posted 09 October 2011 - 05:52 AM
Are there any sources for cheap USB cams or lenses for webcams which captures (almost) the entire sky?
I need one for my new obs, since the "control room" is in my kitchen, so I am afraid that I do not notice if a quick shower shows up
Best Regards,
Posted 09 October 2011 - 07:55 PM
There are also a few threads around elsewhere where others use a CCTV video camera to put together their All-Sky camera:
(Link shortened by Moderator)
Posted 10 October 2011 - 07:28 AM
Camera http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1438.l2649
Mount was made wth 4" pvc pipe flange, plug cap for side, camera mounts to top, I used plexiglass on top to mount to 4"t. 2" hole drilled thru plexiglass to run camera wires thru bottom. Plexiglass plate cut and mounted inside with 2" hole for wires to run thru and then also used for shelf to support battery pack( get camera with battery pack for field use, and also 12 converter for home use.
Software I use both UFO capture http://sonotaco.com/e_index.html
and also ASC uploader. http://www.moonglowt.../Software.shtml
since camera doesnt connect directly to computer you need video capture device like http://www.ebay.com/...=item27aeb85b27
The mount is as follows, bottom is pipe flange, then t then plexiglass then camera, inside has plexiglass mounted 2 inch's from bottom. If you have any more questions please feel free to send me a message.
I am unable to get pictures to load, send me email firstname.lastname@example.com for copy of pictures if you want.

New Mexico State University offeres a FREE camera to join their network, All you have to have is a relatively powerful comouter to dedicate and run the capture software and upload the files to them. Preferably something with 750GB - 1TB of storage. They send it ready to mount and it includes the video capture card for your computer.
The project is funded through a grant from Sandia Nationa Laboratory and National Nuclear Security Administration. Nothing like a FREE camera from the gov't!!!
I just received mine last week and got it mounted this weekend. Got to get the softwared and adapter installed now.
Here is the link to New Mexico All Sky Network . Just contact Mr. Alvarez. Also I contacted Richard Spaulding first at Sandia NL, he got me hooked up with NMSU.
Sorry I can't post a pict from here at work.

MrKrink - what platform are you running the Sentinel program on? XP, Vista, or 7?
Posted 13 January 2012 - 06:07 PM
will get back to Him. Looking good so far.
Posted 13 January 2012 - 07:41 PM
Just received an email from Richard that my camera has shipped and should arrive on 1/18. I have the perfect location picked out but now need to wait for the snow to stop
MrKrink - what platform are you running the Sentinel program on? XP, Vista, or 7?
They recommend it run on XP.
I have it running on a Quad-Core with 4GB ram and it is capturing to a 2TB clean external HD. It takes a tremendous amount of HD space so I bought a Seagate XHD solely for Sentinel storage. I figured 2TB would hold me for a while!!
You can delete the captures that are junk but everything is still archived to another file. The software, when it captures something, makes a composite JPG of several frames,.........................like this..........
..........an MP4 3 second movie.....................
..........it also makes an Excel spread sheet with all the time and pixel info along with a notepad file of the start and stop time of the event. I also periodically records a PNG file for future star position and location. So see it records a lot of info. All times are recorded in UTC, so brush up.
If you have a real dark site as I do, getting the threshold for event triggering can be tricky. They recommended a 50 but I had to crank it up to 70 to not record every time a plane blinked!! The first time I got it going I think it recorded over 2000 files that first night. I let it run for a week or so and ended up spending about 5 hours deleting junk!!
I finally have it set so I am just waiting on that super bolide!!! It is like Christmas everyday opening the files to see what you got.....

Healthcare | Conservatives worry that the cost of a government health plan can go in only one direction
"FannieMed" Continued...
WASHINGTON, D.C.-The last time a Democratic White House tackled health-care reform on the massive scale now being talked about by President Barack Obama, the plan was dubbed "Clinton-care," and it was ultimately derailed by two people named Harry and Louise.
Starring in a series of commercials paid for by the health insurance lobbying group, the dejected-looking middle-class couple sat at their kitchen table worrying that government bureaucracy was about to intrude on their health coverage.
Flash-forward to today's debate: Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island rose at a recent White House summit on health care and declared that the situation is too dire to allow that to happen again.
"This isn't a 'Harry and Louise' moment, it's a 'Thelma and Louise' moment," said Whitehouse, referring to the 1991 road trip movie featuring two women who band together while being pursed by the law. "We're in the car headed toward the cliff, and we must act."
But Obama seemed a little weary of such an analogy: "Now, I just want to be clear-if you actually saw the movie, they did drive over the cliff. That's not our intention here."
But conservatives are fearful that speeding health-care reform may already be hurtling America over the cliff-of greater governmental control under the guise of more choices. Obama's push for a government-run insurance option may decrease competition and lead to medical decisions being made in Washington instead of at kitchen tables across the nation.
Already with little debate and no congressional hearings, Obama was able to push through a $200 billion down payment on his health-care initiatives using the $787 billion stimulus package passed earlier this year: $65 billion to expand the federal health-care program for children of middle-class families making more than $60,000 a year; a $90 billion expansion of Medicaid; a $25 billion expansion of health-care subsidies for the unemployed; and a $20 billion investment on health technology research.
At the recent summit, an army of stakeholders representing doctors, insurance companies, businesses, unions, pharmaceutical companies, universities, and hospitals poured into the White House East Room at such a clip that White House aides had to keep bringing in more chairs. While disagreements are numerous, everyone seems to agree that something needs to be done. Health insurance premiums are growing at a rate four times faster than wages; in the last four years the average annual health premium for a family of four rose from $6,438 to $12,680. Nearly 46 million Americans are currently uninsured-and that number is expected to grow by 10 million during the next decade.
In broad terms the battle lines for fixing this are drawn between those who favor a market-based approach that fosters competition-building on the current employer-based insurance system that now insures 170 million-and those who envision an enlarged role for government. And the extreme version, a single-payer system, would make government the sole health insurance provider. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has introduced legislation in previous congressional sessions to provide universal coverage by establishing the U.S. National Health Insurance Program. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., has introduced legislation that would provide coverage by expanding the Medicare program to everyone.
During the presidential campaign, Obama proposed establishing a national public option plan as an alternative that would compete with existing private plans. Those opposed to a single-payer system worry that Obama's seemingly less radical reform still could further increase the role of government in health care and restrict the choices found in market-based coverage-in essence creating a de facto single-payer system through backdoor tactics-by creating an unlevel playing field where employers have incentive to dump their insured into the public plan, says Rep. Michael Burgess, a Texas Republican who is also a physician: "Obama said he doesn't want to take away the insurance you already have unless he prices the private market out of existence and then you have to take what he gives you."
Also worrisome are calls for a national health-care board, something Obama has titled the Institute for Comparative Effectiveness. In the stimulus package, $1.1 billion is set aside to lay the foundation for this institute that may start the government down the path of playing doctor with broad powers to determine what treatments work and are cost-effective. Richard Scott, a former health-care executive, has funneled about $5 million of his own money to run a $20 million ad campaign as part of his Conservatives for Patients' Rights effort-painting a picture of long lines at hospitals and personal decisions on care made by a national board. "When government gets involved, things go up, not down. I'm afraid we are going to have a FannieMed. We are going to do something where we end up hurting the people we are trying to help," he said.
Health professionals also worry about a proposal by Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, to reduce the number of uninsured by expanding existing entitlement programs like Medicaid and allowing those 55 to 64 to join Medicare. Without these additional entitlement costs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates that Medicaid alone will grow nearly 8 percent annually during the next decade, hitting $673.7 billion in 2017.
What conservatives say they want to support are proposals that emphasize the power of markets and the ability of individuals to make their own decisions. Examples include:
• Greater Adoption of Health Savings Accounts. Created by Congress in 2003, these tax-free accounts allow individuals to pay lower premiums in exchange for higher deductibles. Money not used for premiums are placed in the savings account-in essence increasing that individual's medical rainy-day fund.
• Refundable tax credits. With small business unable to pay health insurance for employees, expanding these tax credits would provide greater incentives for small business owners to cover workers.
• Association Health Plans. Allowing groups of individuals or organizations to come together would create an economy of scale that could provide affordable group rates and erode the rolls of the uninsured.
Many at the White House health-care summit touted developments in Massachusetts, where a universal coverage law began in 2006. But Kevin Pho, a primary care physician from southern New Hampshire who runs a medical blog, says the state's health-care system has been bombarded with nearly half a million new patients: The wait time for a new patient to see a primary care doctor averaged 50 days, and those who can't wait often resort to emergency room visits-one of the costliest forms of health care. "It's a difficult pill to swallow," reasons Pho. "Health insurance without health-care access is basically useless."
Obama has already announced how he will pay for half of the estimated $1.2 trillion price tag for his health plans. And those specifics mean bad news for the nation's charitable organizations. The budget plan provides a $634 billion down payment for health-care reform with half of that money coming from tax increases for the wealthy. Specifically, Obama wants to reduce-from 35 percent to 28 percent-the deductions families making more than $250,000 can claim for charitable donations and other items.
"Charities are in demand whenever the economy is bad. We will be seeing more clients while being stretched for resources," worries Peggy Hartshorn, president of Heartbeat International, a nationwide network of more than a 1,000 nonprofit, faith-based pregnancy centers.
According to a study released this month by Bank of America and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, 47 percent responding said they would give less if deductions were wiped out, with 10 percent predicting that their gifts would dramatically decrease. Reduced incentive to give could end up ripping a hole in the safety net provided by such charities. Hartshorn doesn't miss the irony in taking from charities to pay for an expanded government role in health care: "Obama is showing no faith at all in faith-based organizations."

Hi all,
i have some problem to migrate a very crappy lotus domino 8.5 to zimbra.
I'd like to use the import wizard, i used the exchange tool many times before and i suppose that the domino wizard works fine too.
My problem is that i'm not able to log on on LDAP, a mandatory step to use this wizard, and i still get:
Unable to bind to LDAP server <nameserver> at port 389. Error Code: 0x31.
I can reach <nameserver>, port 389 in open, my login and password are correct.
What i can do before try NSF migration and, if it fails, imapsync and per-user-export-import from notes client?

A System Engineer's View on Coverage Theory for Public Safety Networks
"The stakes are high and cannot be left to chance"
In addition to being possibly the single most critical requirement for Public Safety communications, reliable coverage is also one of the most complex.
'Coverage reliability' is an engineer's way of stating the probability that Public Safety officers can communicate clearly, at any time and any place in their coverage area.
Geographical and urbanization influences, and wide coverage areas have traditionally challenged radio communications. But today's Public Safety Officers work in rapidly changing environments, where security, data transfer and usage protocols must also be managed.
Providing coverage for modern Public Safety networks takes a deep understanding of coverage theory, the different principles and approaches available, and the experience of implementing the practical.
Get this paper now and find out:
- How to apply coverage theory to improve network performance and reliability
- How a System Engineer can design for network coverage that meets unique requirements

- Novak Djokovic on his stunning third round loss to Philip Kohlschreiber in Paris today
Oh right he meant his "head" amd not his HEAD, because blaming the racquet is always lame.
True enough, Nole got in his own way while Philip played great and now the Serb must regroup and hope for greener pastures at Wimbledon.
Another bracket-busting loss. Great.

Hey Girl, Whatcha Doin'?
For whatever reason, actor Zooey Deschanel is a polarizing figure whenever she comes up in conversations with friends—conversations I usually start, since I actually think she's pretty awesome. And online--lots of anti- and pro-Zooey rants and raves abound if you do a quick Google search.
Obviously, tons of people everywhere like her: for her acting in movies and on television, her music with She & Him, and her HelloGiggles crafting/fashion/news website (updated daily). Some are annoyed by her cute and girly "thing" (addressed in the New Girl episode "Jess & Julia"). SNL made fun of her fixation on all things retro—and she was the host, so she was in on the joke.
But really, objectively, I don't think you can deny that she's funny, very talented, and a hard worker. And she's rad because she constantly makes fun of herself and is happy being herself. (Though who wouldn't mind being her for a day, really?)
New Girl
New Girl Season 1 just came out on DVD last month, so be sure to check it out. I started watching this show a bit late into season 1, but one of the weird things that got me hooked was an episode where Jess is jogging while listening to an audio recording of Diane Keaton's memoir, Then Again. So weird, but exactly the thing that made me laugh and want to keep watching.
The DVD set contains 24 episodes and some fun extras, including an interview with Zooey Deschanel and the show's costume designer, Debra McGuire, about where all the fun clothes come from and how they worked together to create the character's style. There's also a pretty amusing audition tape featuring actor Lamorne Morris (Winston), and lots of deleted and extended scenes.
She & Him
Another favorite of mine is She & Him Volume 1. I was pretty late getting into this band too, but when I first heard the song "Change is Hard" this past January, I was impressed and totally empathetic. I must've listened to that song—the whole record--hundreds of times earlier this year. I love the way it sounds like both classic girl groups and Patsy Cline.
There's also the great She & Him Volume 2 and the She & Him Christmas albums . And speaking of Christmas, don't forget to see her sing and act in Elf.

Winter Passing
For a Will Ferrel and Zooey Deschanel post-Elf reunion, check out Winter Passing, which was pretty good if I remember correctly.
I'm a fan
I haven't really given She and Him a chance and she's been in some bad movies, but I like her. I can see why people find her cutesiness to be annoying, but it's also charming. New Girl is great and has actually gotten better and better. The guys on the show are so funny and there are some really smart, oddball jokes on there. Nick and Schmidt bring the funny.
Thanks for the rec!
I will look for Winter Passing! And yes, Nick, Winston, and Schmidt ( almost called him Schmidty...as in "we built this Schmidty on rock n roll") are rad!
(500)Days of Summer
She broke JGL heart so I might have some resentment towards her, but yes, she certainly is a hard worker. I would like to see her in more movies, just to see her range.

Beyond Hallmark
Family | For those caring for an elderly or infirm mom, every day is Mother's Day
Tina Taylor is always well turned out. She has her short, white hair done every week, wears colorful blouses with neatly pressed slacks, and wouldn't dream of leaving her apartment without a coat of Toasted Almond lipstick, carefully applied.
But these days, Mrs. Taylor's daughter, Mary Ann Rinnert, picks out her clothes for her, laying out the next day's wardrobe the afternoon before.
"I go to my closet and can't remember what I'm supposed to do," Mrs. Taylor tells her daughter.
"That's okay, Mom," Mrs. Rinnert replies. "I can do that for you."
Mrs. Taylor is, after all, 100 years old. The centenarian lives at the Beatrice Hover Assisted Living Center in Longmont, Colo. Her daughter, Mrs. Rinnert, lives nearby and visits Mrs. Taylor at least twice a day, sometimes more.
Mrs. Taylor calls Mrs. Rinnert, 65, "my miracle."
"That's because I'm her only child and since she had me at age 35 after 17 years of marriage, I'm still here when she needs me," Mrs. Rinnert said. "She's outlived almost everyone else."
Mrs. Taylor is in the vanguard of a demographic explosion, a surging growth in the number of people living into their 80s, 90s, some beyond. The number of Americans living past age 65 is expected to double within the next 25 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By 2030, almost one in five Americans-some 72 million people-will be 65 years or older. The age group 85-and-older is now the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population.
Among multiple catalysts fueling the increase: erstwhile medical wonders (now taken for granted) like penicillin, routine organ transplants, and the virtual eradication of once-deadly diseases; technologies and medicines that prolong life for people with chronic conditions like diabetes; an overall rise in the American standard of living; and advances in preventive medicine.
Still, age, illness, or both eventually come calling, creating an increasingly common family paradigm: Where Mom was always the caretaker, millions of Americans are now taking care of Mom.
"There's a big shift occurring now in institutional medicine," said Harold G. Koenig, M.D., a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center. "The bottom line is that the system is running out of money. People's hospital stays are shorter and shorter, they go into nursing homes sicker and sicker, and lines to get into good nursing homes are getting longer and longer."
Those trends combined with the growing senior population are pushing health care "more and more into the community, and more and more into private homes, as people try to grapple with parents and grandparents suffering chronic illnesses," Dr. Koenig said.
Estimates vary on the number of people nurturing an aging mother, father, or other relative. A study of family or "informal" caregivers published this year by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) puts the number at 27 million. In a 2005 report, the AARP estimated that more than 44 million Americans are caring for another adult, age 18 or older. Among those being cared for in the 65-and-older population, about 42 percent suffer from some kind of disability.
Not Tina Taylor-she's just getting on in years. So Mrs. Rinnert, a retired elementary-school teacher, visits with her at Beatrice Hover, drives her on errands, and takes her out to eat. "What she needs from me is just to be there," Mrs. Rinnert said. "She just feels like as you get older, you need the people around that you care so much about."
Mrs. Taylor was born in northern Missouri in 1905 to a family of 10 children, and her father was a farmer. "But not a very good farmer," said Mrs. Rinnert, laughing. "He much preferred writing poetry," an avocation he passed on to his daughter, Tina (pronounced "Ty-nah"). Today, she keeps a book of her own poetry-some of it written more than a half-century ago-in her apartment. She shares it only with special, trusted visitors like Herb Herbert.
Mr. Herbert, 54, is a volunteer with LifeBridge Community Church (LBCC), where Mrs. Rinnert is a member. He is one of four people who bring Mrs. Taylor communion each week. A devout Southern Baptist, she was accustomed to cozy country churches before moving from Missouri to be near her daughter; LBCC's 3,000-soul Sundays overwhelm her. (Then there's all that loud guitar music.)
So Mrs. Taylor worships at Beatrice Hover's chapel and LBCC keeps in touch via weekly communion visits. "I think she really appreciates it because she doesn't have a lot of contact," Mrs. Rinnert said.
William Smith, president and CEO of Aging in America, a Brooklyn-based elder-care program, calls the faith community "the unsung hero of the informal support system."
"Churches and synagogues in our communities give purpose to older people's lives," he said. "They give older people a social and support network as they age into their twilight years."
First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, Calif., is one of several congregations WORLD found that sponsor caregiver support groups. At North Olmsted Assembly of God in Ohio, the congregation provides free meals and counseling for local hospice patients. And Centenary United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, N.C., offers DAYBreak, a respite-care program that offers caregivers some much-needed time off while offering activities for its elderly attendees.
But Dr. Koenig says the church universal can do better. A practicing Christian and author of Faith in the Future: Healthcare, Aging, and the Role of Religion, he notes that caregiving can be a marathon spiritual struggle that results in shame and guilt when caregivers' compassion, because they are human, fails them. Biblical confession is important in such cases, he said: "We admit we've blown it and ask God to forgive us so we can keep going."
A recent Johns Hopkins University study of positive adaptation to the caregiver role in cases of Alzheimer's and cancer revealed two main predictors of success: social support and religious faith.
"Religious faith is an enormous resource for caregivers taking care of loved ones," Dr. Koenig said. "The church should play a bigger role in the future as we have more and more elders cared for at home. . . . It's a mandate for the church of the 21st century."
The senior population explosion has given rise to what sociologists are calling the "sandwich generation," baby boomers and busters who now are caring both for their own children and for aging parents. About one in 10 U.S. households with two or more wage-earners ages 30 to 60 cares for both elders and children, according to a Portland State University study.
In Gail McQueen's case, it's a club sandwich of sorts.
Mrs. McQueen, 60, of Sunnyvale, Calif., cares for her dad, Frank Kaufmann, 89, and her mom, Herta, 91, a sturdy German immigrant who fled the Nazis in the 1940s with baby Gail secreted in a backpack.
Every day, she babysits her five-month-old granddaughter at her Sunnyvale home, where she is also caring for her husband, who is recovering from heart-valve replacement surgery. After a morning of bottles, diapers, snuggling, and heart medications, Mrs. McQueen tucks her granddaughter into a car seat and motors to Saratoga, often lugging a pot of homemade stew. She is usually joined by her daughter Bridget, 31, who has rented out her own home and moved in with the Kaufmanns to help care for them.
At the Saratoga house, she chats with her parents in German, orders their medications, fills their daily dosage vials, pays their bills, schedules doctor appointments, taxis to and from, fixes what needs fixing, curls her mother's hair, and takes her grocery shopping.
Mrs. Kaufmann used to have an uncanny knack, Mrs. McQueen said: "At the grocery store, she could tabulate the exact amount of the grocery bill in her head all the way down to the tax, then tell them what the total would be."
Now she has trouble seeing the groceries at all. Suffering from glaucoma, Mrs. Kaufmann sees the world through a narrow tunnel. She also has had cataract surgery, suffers from a slow-moving form of leukemia, and last year tumbled down a flight of stairs and broke her ankle.
"But she never complains," Mrs. McQueen said. "Every time someone asks her how she's feeling, she says, 'Oh, I'm fine; it's just my eyes.'"
Mrs. McQueen isn't complaining, either. She happily retired early from her position as a school secretary so that she could be with her family more. Her decision reflects a new reality unfolding in the workplace as employers realize the steady climb in the number of workers needing time off to care for aging parents.
A 2006 University of Indiana study found that once a woman becomes a caregiver, her likelihood of remaining in the workforce is reduced by half. Though the pace is slow, some companies now are adding employee benefits related to adult caregiving, such as flex-time, long-term care insurance, and unpaid family leave. For example, Prudential Financial Group subsidizes the cost to its employees of home health aides, recouping the expense by reducing absenteeism. Some state legislatures have enacted measures requiring employers to give workers time off above and beyond the federal Family Medical Leave Act.
Theresa DuFresne, a 44-year-old San Diego facilities manager, had no problem using vacation time and weekends to care for her mother, Marjorie DuFresne, 81, and her father, George, 83. Between 2001 and 2005, Mrs. DuFresne suffered two heart attacks and two major strokes. Every weekend for four years, Ms. DuFresne drove the two hours from San Diego to Ontario, Calif., to care for her parents.
Beyond the weekends, "whenever my mother went into the hospital, I would go, too," she said. "If she was in for three weeks, I was in for three weeks." If Mrs. DuFresne was at home, her daughter spent Friday through Sunday in Ontario, prepping the house for the coming week, running errands, and taking her mom to the beauty shop.
"That was her big outing," Ms. DuFresne said. That and slipping out for a root beer float. Ms. DuFresne remembers the time her fun-loving mom put her husband's big wool socks on Theresa and her five siblings when they were small, and danced them around on the hardwood floors to Big Band music. "This way she was able to wax the floor and have fun with all 6 of us at the same time."
In September 2005, Mrs. DuFresne suffered her final major stroke. She died in October, Ms. DuFresne and her siblings at her side. A devout Roman Catholic, her mother's faith was "so strong, unbelievable," that she was ministering to lay ministers from her death bed, Ms. DuFresne remembers.
"I can't even begin to say how thankful I am" to have cared for her for four years, Ms. DuFresne said. "If I hadn't I would've missed so much-all the storytelling, the way my mother appreciated life."
This month will mark Ms. DuFresne's first Mother's Day without her mom. Meanwhile, Tina Taylor, the Colorado centenarian, knows that every Mother's Day may be her last. Nearing life's end, she has begun to yearn for eternity. She prays every night, said her daughter, Mrs. Rinnert, that the Lord will just let her go to sleep and wake up with Him.
In the meantime, though, she remains ever practical. "Do you think," she asked Mrs. Rinnert recently, "that we'll wear lipstick in heaven?"
"No, Mom," Mrs. Rinnert said, smiling. "I think we'll all just be beautiful."

I've have an NE version 6 server that's using the free 10 user license that was available with the zimbra appliance (now MIA).
I want to upgrade to version 7, but I read some where that my license will no longer work. This means I can either pay for the NE starter pack or go to the OSE.
If I move to the OSE I'll lose ActiveSync which would really suck.
There appears to be two main alternatives: Z-Push and ZeXtras Mobile Module.
What experience does anyone have with these two and how do they compare with Zimbra's NE ActiveSync?

A cross section of loosely packed, atmospherically relevant, organic molecules on a model of sea spray aerosol. Pictured are water (blue), sodium ions (green) and organic molecules (magenta and white, where magenta are aliphatic chains and white are phosphate groups).
The arrangement of molecules at the surface of sea spray aerosols influences both the chemical reactivity of those particles (implications include ground level ozone pollution) and the ability of the aerosols to form cloud droplets (implications include precipitation and freshwater shortages). The chemistry of aerosols controls their ability to react and grow into cloud droplets. However, a high level of uncertainty exists in the fundamental understanding of these processes, limiting the ability to predict the impact of aerosols on climate.
This simulation was created by the Paesani Group, which is part of the Center for Aerosol Impacts on Climate and the Environment (CAICE) at the University of California, San Diego. The group is studying the tiny particles of sea spray that are formed by ocean waves. These aerosol particles have very complex chemistry on their surface. This chemistry impacts things like air quality, weather and the formation of clouds, and possibly long-term climate.
The simulation was created with support from CAICE, a National Science Foundation Center for Chemical Innovation (under grant CHE 10-38028). (Date of Image: August 2013) [Image 1 of 4 related images. See Image 2.]
