The ACLU and dozens of other organizations – including Free Press and the Electronic Frontier Foundation – have teamed up to create the Declaration of Internet Freedom, which sets for a set of principles providing a positive vision to preserve the Internet as a platform for speech, innovation and creativity.
This effort rose out of the debate surrounding the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate earlier this year. As you may recall, SOPA and PIPA were bills aimed at stopping online piracy that would have would have also impacted a wealth of completely legal content online, limiting online innovation and free speech. Thanks to millions of Internet users coming together, we were able to stop SOPA and PIPA. But these battles remind us how fragile the free and open Internet is — and make it clear that if we don't fight to protect it, no one will.
With that in mind, more than 100 organizations, academics, startup founders and tech innovators are launching a Declaration of Internet Freedom — five principles outlining the basic freedoms that all Internet users should enjoy: expression; access; openness; innovation; and privacy.
We encourage you to respond to this document — you can agree or disagree with it, debate it, translate it, make it your own and broaden the discussion. No platform other than a free and open Internet allows this kind of interaction. The Declaration is meant to spark a passionate, global discussion among Internet users and communities about the Internet and our role in protecting it, so that the next time we are faced with threats to Internet freedom, we'll have a common set of principles in place to combat them with.
The declaration reads:
We believe that a free and open Internet can bring about a better world. To keep the Internet free and open, we call on communities, industries and countries to recognize these principles. We believe that they will help to bring about more creativity, more innovation and more open societies.
We are joining an international movement to defend our freedoms because we believe that they are worth fighting for…
We hope you'll agree that these principles are worth fighting for. Please sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom today.

What about the Center for Copyright Information which basically lets the MPAA and RIAA spy on all US computer users by partnering up with al major internet service providers? To me this sounds like they will be able to spy on us without any search warrants which would destroy are expectations of privacy on the internet. We need to fight this immediately.

911 and wtc 7.
when will the aclu dare challenge the official story of 911. where wtc 7, a 47 story steel high sky scrapper, was not hit by a plane and came crashing down at free fall speed in less than 10 seconds.
where the twin towers despite holding the weight 25,000 people, millions of pounds of office furniture/plumbing/electrical infrastructer a day, were turned to complete dust. where 2 ton steel beams were hurled 100's of yards into another building.
When will the aclu see that 911 was really a coup de tat, used to steal our freedoms and silence any critics and murder millions for their resources.
All to protect the imperial empire known as the united states of america.

why does the aclu block any 9 1 1 comments? especially those that question the official story. wtc 7 was not hit by a plane and yet this 47 story steel high rise came crashing down in less than 10 seconds at free fall speed. 9 1 1 was used to steal our freedoms and murder millions to steal their resources.
what side is the aclu really on?

Need more specs from the Verizon HTC Incredible after that teaser from the manual? We've got you covered. Nothing hugely different from what we saw before -- the processor is a Qualcomm 8650 Snapdragon at 1GHz, there's 8GB of storage space on board, the ROM's listed a little different, but WiFi 802.11n speed's still there. Anyhoo, another morsel to whet your appetite. Thanks, tipster!
Want more Verizon HTC Incredible specs?

Want more Verizon HTC Incredible specs?
It's a new phone, noone else has it :)
i want this phone...i think...i still think i want the droid haha it has to be the physical keyboard.thats just my taste but i know the specs far outweigh what the droid has.
two questions though:
1. im not that big of a fan of Sense UI. This says its Next Gen Sense UI..whats the difference and for someone who, like myself, doesnt like the Sense UI, can you buy the 3D App Drawer and implement that with Sense UI? (ok that was 2 questions haha)
2.On my blackberry, If i wanted to send a ringtone,pic, video, etc viz bluetooth...i connect, send via bluetooth and voila!! its sending. How does bluetooth sharing work on Android? i remember i tried sending a ringtone to a friend with an Android phone (Samsung Behold 2) and it didnt work all that well...So i sent it to his email...he wasnt able to download the ringtone...
Kinda weird how some of the specs are repeated in the two columns, providing us with different specifications (ie 16-32GB microSD card)
I call shenanigans on this. Way to much conflicting info with what has been posted "elsewhere" cough androidforums cough cough..
Seems like this might be my next phone. I wanted the N1, but since it seems like it will never come to VZW and this one is possibly coming the 29th (one day before my birthday) gotta go with what's available. Plus the camera is a big step up in my opinion. Though if it doesn't have the speech to text integrated and free navigation, I may still go N1 (if it is indeed ever coming to VZW)
I'm as excited as the next person about the release of this device, but the rumors and so-called leaks are killing me.
Something just doesn't seem right about this spec sheet. Notice the font of the line "Note: User's manual is not included in the box with the device." is not the same as anything else on the page. In fact, it looks superimposed. Additionally, the bullets are spaced differently. Most, but not all, of the bullets in the left column are double-spaced. Conversely, most of the bullets in the right column are single-spaced, but some have unusually large gaps between them. Further, the specs seem to be hobbled together. There's no rhyme or reason for the order. On the left column, there's a bullet that says "Camera - 8MP camera w/auto-focus and video capture" Directly across from that is a bullet in the right column that says, "Camera w/flash" This just screams fake.
I blame no one else. It's my fault that I'm exhausted from running after every little bit of "news." Ugh!
I would assume it's features on the right and specs on the left. If you go to the Moto Droid page at Verizon you have a details tab with specs and a features tab with basically the same stuff without the details.
I think you're right. After pointing out a few things, yes, it does appear to be fake to me. What's that whole bit about "your IP has been logged"?? If there really was some sort of tracking program logging this alleged intercept of information, don't you think the warning would have been displayed BEFORE any information was displayed?? The fact that it warns of IP logging, yet then displays the information anyway seems a bit odd to me.
In any event, the leaked user manual that came out earlier appears to be legit to me. I mean, I can't imaging anyone having enough spare time (or the desire) to fabricate a fake 200 page user manual! So I say go by the specs that are in the manual.
I'm really starting to think Verizon is going to allow us to tether this thing without an additional package.
1. In the picture at the top it shows "Mobile Broadband Connect" which is Verizon's tethering package for smartphones. Normally it's $30 but on the phones its available on it says "Mobile Broadband Connect Capable". It doesn't on this picture. True they could have just not put capable at then end but they have "Backup Assistant Capable" which cost $1.99.
2. Page 137 of the user manual states that you can use the phone as a modem with no mention of requiring an additional tethering package. In other manuals for smartphones on Verizon that mention phone as modem it's noted that an additional tethering package is required.
3. They allow Mobile Hotspot on the Pre and Pixi for free. It was $40 up until last week.
It could just be wishful thinking and me reading to much into it but it makes sense and would be a great bonus. Thoughts?
"Backup Assistant Capable" which cost $1.99
Not so any more. It's been free for almost a month.
They allow Mobile Hotspot on the Pre and Pixi for free. It was $40 up until last week.
This is a temporary promo due to the lack of Palm devices being sold. We have A LOT of them on hand gathering dust. Palm reported they have produced more than twice the amount of devices than they've sold. Thus is the equal to a fire sale. Look at their 2yr sale price. 50 on the Pre and 30 for Pixie with instant rebates.
Phandroid has this more complete. Specs at the bottom.
lol. Sorry, guys and gals, but this isn't fake. Verizon's seriously cracked down on leaks (for what good that's done 'em.) and is logging entry these days.
As for the specs, remember that we've seen errors on these pages before. But most of these specs are lining up. Think maybe the multiple "resolutions" are for the camera, perhaps?

Our friend Schuyler posted on twitter that he got a laser working with his WaterColorBot. He uses the brush/up down function to move the laser up to defocus when he doesn't want to engrave/cut.
He even posted sample output: paperboard marked with the word "Laser(s)". This isn't the first WaterColorBot laser mod we've seen, but it's the first with demonstrated output!
The Hill Country Science Mill is celebrating its grand opening on February 14th. It's a new science center in Johnson City, Texas housed in a historic feed mill built in 1880 as a steam grist mill and cotton gin. This picture of their WaterColorBot is from a preview day in November. A "Fall in Love with Science" event sounds like a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day!
We are very pleased to introduce something that we've been working on for most of this year: WaterColorBot version 2.0!
The WaterColorBot is our collaboration with Super Awesome Sylvia: A friendly art robot that moves a paint brush to paint your digital artwork onto paper, using a set of watercolor paints.
Version 2.0 brings it to the next level with some greatly improved hardware. First and foremost, the carriage that holds the brush has been completely redesigned:
The carriage on the original WaterColorBot was made from laser-cut plywood, with nylon bushings and two simple delrin strips that formed the vertical flexure translation stage. (You can read more about the original carriage here and here.)
The new carriage consists mainly of two pieces of metal. The center block of anodized aluminum is CNC milled, and houses crossed linear roller bearings. Wrapped around that is a laser-cut and formed aluminum part that mounts the brush-lift motor, cable guide, and the flexure stage.
The new flexure stage is built with two custom flex circuit boards, used in this case as mechanical flexures. Each board consists of a very thin (0.1 mm, 4 mil) Kapton sheet with a thin fiberglass (G10/FR4) stiffener on its center section. With the two ends of each sheet clamped rigidly and the stiffener in the center, each flex circuit is to flex only along two well-defined lines. And with two boards, it forms a neat parallelogram linkage, without the slop that one might encounter in multi-part hinges. The net effect is that this new flexure stage has remarkable stiffness compared to the old design.
That stiffness, combined with the improved performance of the linear ball bearings makes this a more precise WaterColorBot. Not that you could even detect the improvement with a fat brush and watercolor paints, but things are looking quite good even with using ultra-fine point drawing pens, as you can see above.
The second major change is to the system of Spectra cords that the stepper motors control in order to move the carriage. Previously, the cords were guided around 11 plain bearings (stainless steel solid rivets) and 3 ball bearings. We've simplified this into an arrangement of just 8 ball bearings— four for each motor. The ball bearing pulleys have also been updated to use wide V-groove bearings that are easy to wrap the cords around.
Which brings us to the third (and last) major change. Thus far, WaterColorBot kits have shipped "some assembly required" — with all the major components built, but the cord lacing left to the end user. As of 2.0, WaterColorBot kits now come fully assembled and tested. That doesn't make them any less hackable, but it does mean that you can get up and running faster.
Version 2.0 includes the same CNC machined aluminum winches that we introduced back in August. Tiny detail: we've carved a subtle indentation into the wood around the winch that makes them a little easier to turn by hand.
The new WaterColorBot kits will begin to ship right after Thanksgiving. And a bonus present for the holiday season: Version 2.0 is priced the same as the previous version, it's just a whole lot more awesome per dollar.
Zener, our full-time shop cat, has discovered an unexpected application for the WaterColorBot. Not certain if we should add "cat bed" to its list of features.

Oklahoma State football: The picture that changed the Fiesta Bowl
STILLWATER — A photograph taken by The Associated Press perfectly captures one moment that defined the 2012 Fiesta Bowl.
Nigel Nicholas looks like he's flying as he hurls himself over the left shoulder of a Stanford lineman. Davidell Collins' right hand is thrown into the air near the middle of the shot. Brodrick Brown is barreling toward Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson's left side.
And Williamson is about to strike the ball with his right foot.
Seconds after this photo was taken, Williamson's 43-yard field-goal attempt would go wide left — again — on Stanford's first overtime possession. Then, Oklahoma State would take the ball, nearly score the game-winning touchdown on a 24-yard pass from Brandon Weeden to Colton Chelf and then clinch the 41-38 victory on a chip-shot field goal by Quinn Sharp.
Here's what the play in the photo was like for Collins and Brown, in their own words.
Collins: "Our hearts were set on blocking it. They told us it was all up to us. We had in our mindset that we had to do this for the team. We had to go all out, give our bodies no matter what."
Brown: "Our coaches tell us (to) try to run in there and make the kicker shank it or something like that, and that's what happened. I got pressure on the kicker, and he kicked it wide left."
Collins: "I just gave a little push and then jumped as high as I could to lean out, because I have a long reach. Unfortunately, we didn't get the block, but I think we threw it off a little bit with our hands and just our pressure and our presence of being in there through the kick. (That) made him nervous and made it go wide."
Brown: "I was like, 'Our offense is about to score.' I was just excited, not only for us, but for the people came down to watch."
Collins: "At first, I thought it went through, because I missed the block. … But then I heard the crowd go crazy, and I looked up at the scoreboard and I see that he didn't make it and I was like, 'Oh, yeah! We still got a chance. We just won the game.'"

I have relatives in New Jersey that I will likely be visiting in mid-August. I'm trying to find a possible bike tour that would end at their house (Lambertville, on the NJ/PA border).
One idea is using the Pennsylvania State Routes. Route S pretty much ends in Lambertville.
Checking things out, I see that in Northwest PA is the Allegheny Forest. One idea would be to start in either Cleveland or Buffalo or even Pittsburg (airline connection points), ride to and through the forest and then down to meet Route S and then over to Lambertville.
Has anyone ridden any of route S? I've seen a couple of journal at CGOAB, but first hand experience is always welcome.
Also, is the Allegheny Forest worth going out of my way to ride through?
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Likely starting date would be late July.

Topic: Segmentation and patterning in Drosophila
In the next few weeks, we'll use Drosophila to explore the general mechanisms of pattern formation during embryonic development. We'll look at early axis formation, segmentation, and establishment of segmental identity. At the end of these four weeks, you'll understand the basics of how an animal is built from a single cell into a multi-cellular organism with the right organs in the right places!
This week we'll discuss pattern formation in the anterior-posterior axis, using mainly a lecture format. In the successive weeks, we'll learn about dorsal-ventral patterning by reading in depth a series of the key papers that elucidated the process. It's important to make sure the reading is done thoroughly and on time.
The "recommended reading" chapters below can provide details and clarifications if the papers get confusing. Most of the lecture figures are drawn from these two sources, as well.
Note that unlike most of the other sections in this course, there is a paper or exercise assigned for ALMOST EVERY class. So make sure to look ahead at the assignments for each following week.
This paper should be read BEFORE the first class on Sept. 22.
Nusslein-Vohlhard and Wieschaus. (1980). Mutations affecting segment number and polarity in Drosophila. Nature 287:795.
A seminal paper in the history of developmental genetics describing work for which the authors were awarded the 1995 Nobel prize. We will go over the major findings both in their historical context and in light of what is known today.
This tutorial should be read by next Tuesday's class:
Roote, J., & Prokop, A. (2013). How to Design a Genetic Mating Scheme: A Basic Training Package for Drosophila Genetics. G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 3(2), 353–358. doi:10.1534/g3.112.004820
A guide to Drosophila genetics: this will aid in understanding the papers we will be reading starting next week. You will need to read it to do the homework assignment (below)! Make sure to note your questions and any parts you don't understand to go over in class next Tuesday.
Do "Task 3" from the "Crossing Tasks" problem set. This should be handed in by the beginning of class. It might be helpful to first work through this example first. Note that unlike the example, the assigned Task 3 is NOT a recombination task as the genes you are dealing with are on different chromosomes. This is actually simpler to carry out, but don't get confused by just blindly following the example in the ppt file!
Recommended reading:
Wolpert, Tickle, and Martinez Arias "Principles of Development," Chapter 2 (5th edition).
A very clear and up-to-date treatment of pattern formation in Drosophila.
Gilbert, "Developmental Biology (10th ed.)," Chapter 6.
A more in-depth treatment than that found in Wolpert; more detail than we'll cover in class, but worth the read.
Eric Wieschaus' Nobel lecture gives a more personal spin on the segmentation screens.
Slides and lecture notes will be posted here following class :
Web resources:
If the gene names and fly-speak in the paper are getting you confused, the Interactive Fly gives a nice synopsis of what many of these genes do and where they act in development.
The internet source for all things Drosophila is Flybase: http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu
Ever wonder how fly genes ended up with their often whimsical names? Try Flynome for etymologies of many genes, such as ken and barbie and seven up. http://www.flynome.org/

Sunday night we witnessed a great game between The Philadelphia Eagles and The awesome New England Patriots. The Patriots have an 11-0 record and quarterback Tom Brady has a chance to make history, as without question, one of the best quarterbacks the sport has ever produced.
The Eagles gave the Patriots all they can handle and proved that it is possible to defeat New England. Eagles quarterback A.J. Feeley did a fine job in moving the ball, and the team put on quite an offensive show. In a game that many felt the Patriots would win easily, the Eagles displayed tenacity, determination and a strategy of constant offense that seemed of offset the Patriots.
However the Patriots showed why they are such a great team. They seem to have mastered the art of coming back and scoring big late in the game. They were actually trailing the Eagles going into the forth quarter. The comeback came when Laurence Maroney scored a 4-yard run and Asante Samuel intercepted an A.J. Feely pass in the end zone. The final score was a 31-28 victory for New England.
New England has been blowing every team away, winning by an average of 24 points. They are now receiving quite a bit of criticism for the close margin in their game with Philadelphia on Sunday.
I feel this is undue criticism. New England has a chance to to produce the best winning season in the history of the sport, and may eclipse the 17-0 record of the awesome 1972 Dolphins.
The game on Sunday was very exciting and New England again proved that there are many ways to win. And a small margin win is still a win! The fact remains that this team is awesome, and it will take a considerable effort to beat them.
The other thing that needs to be considered is something I have learned from boxing. No matter how good you are, how great your skill and strategy, anyone can be beaten on a given night. This is what the Eagles showed in their outstanding, but losing effort against New England. Anyone can be beat! There are always the intangibles. That is what makes the sport so interesting.
I think we can look forward to an exciting season of great games, between great teams. New England has been my favorite team since the days of Russ Francis. They are in a position to make history, and my money is on them to do just that.

Anchor-actor Cyrus Sahukar, who will host the fourth season of "India's Got Talent", says the reality show has "created job opportunities for participants" and given a new lease of life to dying art forms.
He says the winner of the first season, Price Dance Group, is a good example of that.
"I have personally done around a 100 shows with people who started with 'India's Got Talent'. You don't realise that they are very popular with their acts. I have done around 50 dance shows with the Prince Dance Group," Cyrus told IANS.
He added that the pariticipants may not be seen on screen often, "but they are doing shows and live events," and added that their participation in the show has "created job opportunities for them because others get to see their talent."
The 33-year-old also feels "India's Got Talent" is a great platform for any kind of talent including, the dying arts.
"There are lots of regional art forms that are fast disappearing, but they have got a paltform through the show. Other shows are limited to dance and entertainment. It is about just the artists," he said.
He was offered to anchor the show in the previous seasons as well, but could not do so because of other commitments.
Travelling for the show was fun, says Cyrus.
"For me, it was very interesting to go to all the smallest towns and cities. When will I get a chance to witness our country for what it really is and witness the talent and the love?" he said.
He believes it is important to make money out of a talent to keep it alive.
"Your talent is great but until it becomes a profession for you, it becomes difficult for you to keep it alive. Ideally, what happens is that your talent gets monetised and you actually get a job out of that," Cyrus said.
Asked, what is Cyrus' unique talent that can make him win the show, he joked saying, "I will sing a song and then scare the judges with my break dance which will lead them to be in hospital and I think I will be publicly removed from television forever."

Walks in the park are never getting old.
I bought this lovely looking faux fur jacket from Bershka last year and I never got the chance to actually wear it, so I've decided to wear it this morning. It's cosy and perfect for an everyday fall outfit. I also love my Gucci Bag, which I received as a gift a couple of months ago from a beloved friend of mine.
All this and a fine walk in the park with friends, enjoying the sunny weather after a rainy weekend!

More and more details are leaking out about the new Britney Spears album, which we have now learned is titled Femme Fatale. Britney Spears' new album, which is her seventh studio effort, while drop on March 15, and producer and songwriter Dr. Luke has just shared some new information on Femme Fatale, which is not yet finished.
For those of you that remember, Kid Cudi made an appearance on MTV a few months back saying that his passion was no longer with rap, and that he had shifted towards guitar playing (we discussed that right here). Furthermore, Kid Cudi revealed plans of a rock group called Wizards, which features Dot Da Genius, one of Cudi's producers. Now, Cudi has more solid information about his plans with Wizards – an album is to be coming out soon. According to an announcement on Twitter, the Wizards album is due sometime in the summer of 2011.
Honored with individual awards were Christian Bale, Colin Firth, Melissa Leo and Natalie Portman for performances in motion pictures and Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Claire Danes, Julianna Margulies, Al Pacino, and Betty White for performances in television.

Animated Gif: Lyra Headbanging by DILeakWatch
©2012-2016 DILeak
Awesome picture
Funny having Lyra headbanging. The universal sign of a metal head is the famous hand gesture made famous by the late, great Ronnie James Dio. With Lyra supposedly obsessed with hands it just seems appropriate.
Nice Lyra gif.
this should be made into a base!
Cute! Presumably this is in reaction to a glasses-wearing DJ. Just don't tell her to "put your hands up in the air".
I don't need no soundtrack, I already hear the wobbles just by looking at it.
How do you make .gifs in Flash?
Do you allow people to use your work?
Stuff like this, yes. but if you just download it and upload it to your DA claiming you made it, then no. Like, putting it in pmv's and for much larger projects, yup. :3
Awesome, I might use it when I have a opportunity. :3
It might be a good idea to say if this is free for use in the description for people like me won't have to ask.

Hey Lyra!
Do you believe in humans?
Do you believe in humans?
this is really awesome when your listening to Barbra Streisand
is there a such thing as an HD gif?
Not really. If you have large file dimensions and view it at a reasonable magnification, it looks better though.
looks awesome!
Lyra's rockin' like it's 1999!
Frame rate has to be faster so as to keep up with speed metal.
yay i like it

Emma Stone could be taking on the zombie hordes again.
THR reports that the Zombieland actress has been offered the lead role of Elizabeth Bennett in Liongate's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. If Stone accepts the role, she would be the first actor to join the movie. According to the report, producers "flirted" with Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Anne Hathaway, but nothing ever happened.
Craig Gillespie was hired to direct the movie in April, after both original writer-director David O. Russell and his replacement, Mike White, dropped out of the project. Gillespie inherited Russell's reportedly great script, though the director had screenwriter Marti Noxon, who wrote Gillespie's upcoming Fright Night remake, do a rewrite.
Natalie Portman, who was originally attached to the Bennett role, is producing the movie, which was based on the best-selling mash-up novel by Seth Grahame-Smith (and Jane Austen).

The Professional Education Data System (PEDS) is used to collect extensive data annually on AACTE's members: approximately 800 institutions of higher education that offer educator preparation programs. These data provide AACTE, members, policy makers, partners, and the public with valuable information about educator preparation programs. These data can then be used by institutions and the professional community to support reform, program review, and research.
Valid and reliable data are essential to understanding the state of the profession and to identifying trends, challenges, progress, and excellence in educator preparation. AACTE relies on this database in advocacy efforts and to inform professional development activities and programs.
Sections 205 through 208 of Title II of the Higher Education Act (HEA), as amended in 2008, (PL 110-315) call for accountability for programs that prepare teachers. Section 205 of Title II requires annual reports from each institution of higher education (IHE) that conducts a traditional teacher preparation program or an alternative route to state certification or licensure program and that enrolls students receiving federal assistance under HEA (e.g., Title IV). In addition, states must report annually on teacher preparation and teacher licensure or certification. The law can be accessed at: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/leg/hea08/index.html.
Each year providers also submit annual reports that gather common data for eight annual measures. These measures demonstrate impact around student learning, teacher effectiveness, employer and completer satisfaction, and specific outcomes and consumer information, such as graduation, licensure, employment, and student loan default rates. This data informs CAEP about the degree which providers continue to meet CAEP Standards between accreditation visits and provides important information for the benefit of consumers that providers can use in their self-study to analyze trends and demonstrate their use in their continuous improvement efforts.

Suspects in two murder cases in Pitt County were in court Tuesday.
28-year-old Sandy Etheridge is accused of shaking her ten-week-old son so violently that he suffered fatal brain injuries.
Etheridge had her case continued.
Meanwhile, a former police officer accused of killing his fiance was also in court. Arthur Ridenour is accused of killing Teresa Foster. Foster's body was found burned and she had been shot outside the couple's home on Sweet Gum Church Road in Stokes in August.
Ridenour's attoney asked the judge to put his client on house arrest or release him on a secured bond while he awaits trial. The judge denied the request. His bond remains at a half a million dollars. His trial is set to begin may 23rd.
Deputies say Ridenour told them his girlfriend had set herself on fire and then shot herself. After an investigation and a ruling from the Medical Examiner's Office, Ridenour was indicted on a charge of murder.

A 150-foot asteroid hurtled through Earth's backyard Friday, coming within an incredible 17,150 miles and making the closest known flyby for a rock of its size. In a chilling coincidence, a meteor exploded above Russia just hours before the asteroid zoomed past the planet.
A 150-foot asteroid hurtled through Earth's backyard Friday, coming within an incredible 17,150 miles and making the closest known flyby for a rock of its size. In a chilling coincidence, a meteor exploded above Russia just hours before the asteroid zoomed past the planet.
Scientists the world over, along with NASA, insisted the meteor had nothing to do with the asteroid since they appeared to be traveling in opposite directions. The asteroid is a much more immense object and delighted astronomers in Australia and elsewhere who watched it zip harmlessly through a clear night sky.
"It's on its way out," reported Paul Chodas of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
Asteroid 2012 DA14, as it's called, came closer to Earth than many communication and weather satellites orbiting 22,300 miles up. Scientists insisted these, too, would be spared, and they were right.

The asteroid was too small to see with the naked eye even at its closest approach around 2:25 p.m. EST, over the Indian Ocean near Sumatra.
The best viewing locations, with binoculars and telescopes, were in Asia, Australia and eastern Europe. Even there, all anyone could see was a pinpoint of light as the asteroid buzzed by at 17,400 mph.
As asteroids go, this one is a shrimp. The one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was 6 miles across. But this rock could still do immense damage if it ever struck given its 143,000-ton heft, releasing the energy equivalent of 2.4 million tons of TNT and wiping out 750 square miles.
By comparison, NASA estimated that the meteor that exploded over Russia was tiny – about 49 feet wide and 7,000 tons before it hit the atmosphere, or one-third the size of the passing asteroid.
As for the back-to-back events, "this is indeed very rare and it is historic," said Jim Green, NASA's director of planetary science. While the asteroid is about half the length of a football field, the exploding meteor "is probably about on the 15-yard line," he said.
"Now that's pretty big. That's typically a couple times bigger than the normal influx of meteorites that create these fireballs," he said in an interview on NASA TV.
"These fireballs happen about once a day or so, but we just don't see them because many of them fall over the ocean or in remote areas. This one was an exception."
As the countdown for the asteroid's close approach entered the final hours, NASA noted that the path of the meteor appeared to be quite different than that of the asteroid, making the two objects "completely unrelated." The meteor seemed to be traveling from north to south, while the asteroid passed from south to north – in the opposite direction.
Most of the solar system's asteroids are situated in a belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and remain stable there for billions of years. Some occasionally pop out, though, into Earth's neighborhood.
NASA scientists estimate that an object of this size makes a close approach like this every 40 years. The likelihood of a strike is every 1,200 years.
The flyby provides a rare learning opportunity for scientists eager to keep future asteroids at bay – and a prime-time advertisement for those anxious to step up preventive measures.
Friday's meteor further strengthened the asteroid-alert message.
"We are in a shooting gallery and this is graphic evidence of it," said former Apollo astronaut Rusty Schweickart, chairman emeritus of the B612 Foundation, committed to protecting Earth from dangerous asteroids.
Schweickart noted that 500,000 to 1 million sizable near-Earth objects – asteroids or comets – are out there. Yet less than 1 percent – fewer than 10,000 – have been inventoried.
Humanity has to do better, he said. The foundation is working to build and launch an infrared space telescope to find and track threatening asteroids.
If a killer asteroid was, indeed, incoming, a spacecraft could, in theory, be launched to nudge the asteroid out of Earth's way, changing its speed and the point of intersection. A second spacecraft would make a slight alteration in the path of the asteroid and ensure it never intersects with the planet again, Schweickart said.
Asteroid DA14 – discovered by Spanish astronomers only last February – is "such a close call" that it is a "celestial torpedo across the bow of spaceship Earth," Schweickart said in a phone interview Thursday.
NASA's deep-space antenna in California's Mojave Desert was ready to collect radar images, but not until eight hours after the closest approach given the United States' poor positioning for the big event.

Fall Nail Trend p1
It's easy for me to pay close attention to nail trends than make-up trends. I think it's because make up has become less important to me. And plus some women like bold make up and others like to keep it simple.
I've noticed on some celebs (I only featured two because I didn't wanna post too many pics.) the bright red or medium toned red nails. I KNEW red was going to make a come back, it has always been a classic nail color. Sexy, fun and trendy even in the summer. I myself am always looking for that perfect red. Although I may have found it in OPI's Vodka & Caviar, I'm searching for the dark red polish and damnit I WILL find it..lol

Vietnam's Christians: A Century of Growth in Adversity
Lewis, James F., International Bulletin of Missionary Research
Vietnam's Christians: A Century of Growth in Adversity. By Reg Reimer. Pasadena, Calif.: William Carey Library, 2011. Pp. xviii, 122. Paperback $12.99.
Until now, a substantive chapter on Protestant Vietnam has been missing from standard histories of Asian continental Christianity. No longer, thanks to the work of Reg Reimer. Written to celebrate the hundred-year saga of Vietnam's evangelicals, the volume provides a spare but articulate history of Vietnamese Christianity as seen through the eye of a trained missiologist.
The book's first half recounts the beginnings of Vietnam's evangelical church in 1911, when Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) missionary Robert Jaffray pioneered out of South China. Against background essays about Catholic missions and indigenous religions, Reimer traces the advance and trials of the CMA mission and its church during three wars: Japanese occupation (1941-45), the war of independence from the French (1945-54), and the Vietnam/ American war (1964-75).
The second half of the book is devoted to the adversities and endurance of the churches in the south, whose multidenominational constituency of 160,000 came under Communist rule after 1975. Government policies closed all social service agencies, shuttered churches, imprisoned pastors, and confiscated 300 properties, taking a heavy toll on morale and internal church life.
During the "Dark Decade" (1975-85) all church communities were forced into hiding. …

What Do I Need For the Party?
If you plan to use paper tableware and High School Musical party supplies, our Suggested Party Supply List may be helpful while you shop. Please note that you may not need everything on the list; it is intended only as a guide.
Along with the traditional party supplies like plates, cups, streamers, and balloons, you may also want to consider renting or purchasing the following:
- Megaphones
- Basketballs
- Play microphones or headsets
- Pom-poms (red & white)
High School Musical Invitation Ideas
Creative invitations build excitement and set the mood for the party before it even starts! If you have the time to make your own High School Musical invitations, here are a few ideas you can try:
- Cut the shape of a school locker out of red construction paper and make a slit around three sides of the door so the door swings open. Paste the locker onto another sheet of paper and write all the party details inside the locker door frame. Your guests will have to open the locker to view the invite.
- Cut a piece of construction paper into a triangle with one point longer than the rest. This will resemble a school pennant. Write "Go Wildcats Go!" on one side and all the party details on the other. For a more realistic look, use felt instead of construction paper.
- Create a card-style invitation and write "Go! Fight! Win!" on the front. Use creative wording on the inside for your party details such as:The wildcats are smokin'!
Don't get in their way!
The wildcats are coming
To Tori's 8th birthday!
- Punch a hole in the corner of a card-style invitation and tie it to a red and white pom-pom. Hand-deliver or mail them in padded envelopes.
- Purchase small inflatable basketballs. Write the party details on each inflated ball, then deflate them and send them to your guests. They will have fun blowing up the ball to read the party details.
If you do not have time to make invitations yourself, consider our>Teen Musical Personalized Invitations, which include your child's name and all the party details.
Whichever invitation option you choose, remember to include any special instructions on the invites along with the basic party details like date, time and location.
Decorating & Food Ideas
High School Musical Decorations
Set the mood for your High School Musical Party by transforming your party area into a high-spirited, high-fun high school! Here are some tips:
- Keep in mind the Wildcat colors when choosing traditional decorations. Drape red and white streamers from the ceiling and group clusters of red and white balloons around the party area.
- Set out basketballs as decorations, which can be later utilized in different activities.
- Make school lockers out of narrow cardboard boxes. Spray paint the boxes red and draw on the details with a black marker. Use a box cutter to cut along three sides of the door so it opens. For an added touch, cut out two holes, one on each side of the door opening, and attach a real lock. Assign each guest a locker when they arrive and let them store their coats and other items inside. Stick the favor bags in the lockers before the guests leave and give them a surprise when they open their lockers to gather their belongings.
- Make signs that represent the school and hang them on the walls of the party area. Some phrases to use might be: "Go Wildcats Go!", "Troy + Gabriella", "High School Rocks!", and "Friends 4 Ever"
- Call your local theater or video store and see if they have any old HSM posters you could have or purchase. Hang them around the party area.
- Print HSM3 images off the computer, laminate them and use them as placemats.
- Cut the shape of a sports jersey out of red construction paper or cloth and write "Wildcats" on the front. Hang it from a doorframe that the children will not be passing through.
- Consider making the party prom-themed and ask your guests to come in formal wear. Hand out corsages and boutonnieres to each guest as they arrive.
- For additional High School Musical decorations, take a look at our themed party box.
High School Musical Food Ideas
Serving food that fits your High School Musical themed party can be fun for you and your guests! Here are some suggestions for some special "superstar" treats your little fans will rave about!
- Decorate the food table with different classroom items such as a stack of books, a jar of pencils, notebooks (add doodles to the covers!), and a backpack.
- Cut traditional rice cereal treats with star-shaped cookie cutters. Sprinkle them with red and white sugar crystals before serving.
- Cut peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in shapes that fit the theme – such as megaphones, microphones, and stars. Cut these shapes out of cheese as well and serve them with crackers.
- Make edible megaphones by cutting 1/2 inch off the pointed end of a sugar cone. Frost the cone in white frosting and write "EHS" in red frosting on one side.
- Make a veggie tray using all veggies that are not red in color. Then, with red colored veggies (such as red pepper slices, tomatoes, or radishes), spell "EHS" within the rest of the veggies.
- Make pawprint cupcakes to represent the Wildcats! Frost regular cupcakes in white or red frosting. Use a junior mint candy as the paw pad and four brown M&Ms as the toes, and set them on top of the cupcake.
- For a different approach, serve traditional cafeteria fare such as sliced pizza, sub sandwiches, carrot sticks with ranch dressing, bananas, and chocolate or regular milk.
- Make a basketball cake by frosting a round cake with orange frosting, and drawing on the ball's seams with black frosting. For an alternative, use our>star cake pan to create a "superstar" cake and write "Go Wildcats!" on top.
