Codemasters have released 3rd installment of their racing franchise as F1 2012. You get to free games including this and more from here. Previous two versions have had good success. This delivers notable improvements over the previous versions.
This starts with a new drivers test in Yas Marina stadium and in Abu Dhabi racetrack taking the driver through vehicle handling, acceleration, braking and even advanced elements. F1 2012 free download for Xbox 360 is available from this page at the bottom. This year Codemasters have introduced a mode called champion mode. In this mode you will get the opportunity to beat six of the today's superstars. The first one is Kimi Raikonnen, who starts 6 places ahead of you but has worn out tires. Your challenge is to chase him and complete the circuit ahead of him. After you are through, then you'll be pitted against Lewis Hamilton who is caught in rain. These scenarios make for some intense racing action.
Download F1 2012 Xbox 360 free from the end of this review. This game makes you fight hard for a fraction of second in lap time. The difficulty is in between 2010 and 2011 versions. Even with minute deviations on track you will be penalized with time penalties or even disqualification. Therefore learning to handle car in proper way is the priority here. If you are finding it hard at some corners or hairpins, Codemasters flashback feature will help in zooming back in time to avoid collisions.
If you want to know where or how to get F1 2012 Xbox 360 free download then you have arrived at the right site. At the bottom of this page you will find full version of F1 2012. In this game vehicle handling is very precise and sometimes punishing. Drifting onto grass accumulates grass on tires which reduces traction and causes slides. Thankfully for newcomers braking assists, traction control and racing guidelines are available. With increase in difficulty level every turn, gear change and pit stop will give you a challenge to better your time. The pre-race customizations to the car also affect the timings.
The proving grounds area feels close to an arcade mode where newcomers can spend more time in perfecting the basics. In proving grounds Time attack and Time Trial modes are available. F1 2012 Xbox 360 download free from below this article and enjoy.
The career mode will allow to you to race up the league tables, starting at lower tiers. After succeeding and getting promotions you will attract press and industry attention which leads to offers from more prestigious teams. Season challenge mode allows for a more relaxed approach without cutting down on key aspects of the game.
Multiplayer options such as online multiplayer, split screen and LAN are available. In split screen you will not notice any decline in frame rates. F1 2012 Xbox 360 download is now online, get the game from single torrents or direct links and extract to get the ISO.
Visually the game has received very small number of improvements because the previous version itself had stunning visuals with redone weather system. All the racetracks are very authentic, especially the American circuits such as Austin and Texas. Similar to the last year this year also delivers a brilliant soundtrack to accompany some intense sessions. You are in luck to find RF version of F1 2012 free Xbox 360 game downloads on this page, you just need to skip right to the end of this post and you will find it.
Everything that was good in previous versions is here in this version and with lots of tweaks and improvements. Although newcomers will feel this a little difficult, the new training mode provides sufficient experience. This is a game which has come very close to a simulation than any previous attempts. Following link will give you region free full version of F1 2012 for Xbox 360.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Mega Millions winning numbers today October 25, 2013 are jumping to sixty-five million dollars. When Mega Millions results tonight for 10-25-13 are announced to news, someone could be very rich. But in recent draws, no one has been correctly picking jackpot numbers. Could that change tonight? Mega Millions winning numbers for Friday night are just a few hours away to be announced at 11 pm EST tonight.
Officials tell news that tonight's Mega Millions winning numbers for October 25 represent the second draw under the game's new format. Paula Otto, Virginia Lottery Executive Director and lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, recently outlined to news and players how the game changes will impact payouts. At the core of the new game is a change in the format's "matrix." Reps tell news that "The last time the Mega Millions matrix changed was June 2005."
Yet, the overall premise, behind these new October 2013 Mega Millions changes, is to make the game easier to win smaller prizes and harder to win larger prizes. There is also an effort to make the larger prizes run up, draw to draw, to bigger payouts faster than before. This is done through three methods.
First the starting prize has been stepped up. Second, the Megaplier option has been changed. And third, the numbers of possible balls for each color have been modified.
UPDATE: Tonight's winning numbers have just been released to news. They are 6, 16, 45, 54, 60, Mega: 15, Megaplier: 2. For Powerball and Mega Millions winning numbers this week click HERE.

in addition to being pretty, ring-necked pheasants are actually an interesting historic tale. Unlike many of the plants and animals we see in the forests of Nova Scotia these are not a native species. There is a long history of those who came to live in Nova Scotia bringing plants and animals with them. Faunal remains found in Acadian archaeological sites show that the early settlers only made use of native species for a short time. After using species like the now extinct passenger pigeon for a short time the Acadians quickly transitioned to cows, pigs and sheep for their meat.
The introduction of ring-necked pheasants is of somewhat more recent vintage. The Christian Messenger of September 24, 1856 includes the following act of the Nova Scotia Legislature which appears at the bottom of this post. Other attempts were made to introduce pheasants in the 1890s, 1920s and 1930s. Locally an attempt was made to introduce 50 birds in Clementsvale in 1924. The birds I was photographing this morning were undoubtedly related to those 50. The provincial government has a more thorough history of the introduction of the pheasant.
The introduction of the pheasant is part of a continuing pattern by settlers of European origins importing species for their own ends. Some of these species were introduced for agricultural reasons. Others, like the pheasant, were introduced as the quarry of hunters. Some like the starling were introduced for reasons as strange as trying to ensure that all of the creatures that appear in Shakespeare's work would be found in North America. Some of these species have out-competed native species while some, like the ring-necked pheasant continue to eek out a marginal existence.
All for now,
Provincial Secretary's Office
Halifax, August 22, 1856
An Act for the Preservation of Pheasants.
Passed the 18th day of April 1856.
Be it enacted by the Governor, Council and Assembly, as follows
1. It shall not be lawful for any person to take or kill, within this Province, any Pheasant, or to buy, sell, or have in possession any dead Pheasant that has been so taken or killed.

In a lot of ways Tom Cruise plays the same character in the majority of his films; call it the Ethan Hunt persona. (Hunt is the character that Cruise plays in the Mission Impossible films.) He is smart, athletic, self-deprecating in his humor, a man of action who appreciates the abilities of those around him including the underdogs of the world. If this particular "type" was played over and over by another actor it would become an SNL skit, but Cruise is so good at playing a version of his signature action hero that it is more fun to watch him than make light. Going one step further, despite being in his early fifties he looks younger without overly trying to look younger – a man equally at home in either a hoodie or a suit.
Cruise plays a variation of his Hunt character in Edge of Tomorrow. Granted, Cruise's Cage does not start out as the hero archetype. No, he is one of those guys who are talking heads that encourage war while having no intention of actually fighting in one. Yet the wheel of fortune is a fickle lady and Cage finds himself in a faceoff with a General who isn't charmed with platitudes or enticed by bribery followed by threats. After a scuffle in London headquarters Cage awakens a member of a squadron about to head off for the final showdown with alien invaders. As a man whose rise up military ranks has all been behind the scenes, he is unsure how to fight and ends up dying through his incompetency…that is until he wakes the next morning.
In some ways Edge is very much like Groundhog Day crossed with elements of Iron Man, but despite that description it is a good story. Emily Blunt is not on a list of actresses one would think of as a heroine in a war movie; however girlfriend has some muscles and pulled it out. There is one shot of her doing a Ninja type of pushup that I truly hope was not done with the aid of CGI or strings because it was awe inspiring.
As with most science fiction films to work, the story has to demonstrate some logic to make the suspension of disbelief work and Edge does. I have some quibbles with exactly why the general has it in for Cruise prior to ordering him to the front, but this is minor in comparison to how the film was able to move the plot along. A lot could have gone wrong but didn't.
Like so many Cruise films of late, Edge has done significantly better in overseas markets than it has domestically. It has held on in the theaters which I think is more of a testament to good word of mouth than Cruise's appeal. His career is an interesting case study in stardom. It has been over nine years since Cruise jumped on Oprah Winfrey's yellow sofa and declared his love for Katie Holmes. Afterwards that he was embroiled with various Scientology centered controversies which did little to promote Scientology and generally ended up bruising Cruise's career. However as he weathered major PR problems, he has made some good movies of which Edge of Tomorrow is an example.
I recommend Edge of Tomorrow. It is the type of film that will play well on the smaller screen if you do not want to see it in the theater. It is a fun flick for anyone interested in science fiction or action movies.
Happy viewing!

Cover to Cover is a chronological study of the whole Bible. As we gain an overarching perspective of the whole Bible, this series pursues a deeper understanding of Theology; of God Himself, as He has revealed Himself through His holy Word. It also examines Scripture's explanation of man's condition and God's redemptive response which is driven by both His love and justice.

Week in Review : A whole lot of painters….
April 28, 2013 · Print This Article
Last week we talked painters on and off the podcast! Featuring interviews and studio visits with Everest Hall, Mara Baker and Steven Husby — in addition to our usual treasure trove of cultural insights….Here's a play by play —
Amanda Browder, interviews painter Everest Hall, who describes (among other things) the value of being raw in the studio:
"There is a responsibility that comes with being an artist to be naked and open and free. Let's bring the audience to another place. Come with me. On this journey, I don't know where we are going, but I see a clearing in the woods. Let's go for a walk together and maybe make love in a pine forest. I think that sounds delicious."
The week began with our latest guest contributor, Jaime Kazay. Kazay co-curates the Revolving Door Reading Series has a poetry collection out from  Dancing Girl Press. This week she reflects on all things Barbie, asking a question I have continued to trip over all week — "I wonder if Barbie likes peanut butter?."
Duncan and Richard made appearances on a WBEZ panel featuring a "panel of local critics [discussing] their role in the new media landscape." #fahntsie
I reposted a little sumthin' sumthin' from Triple Canopy (<3 <3 <3)
New York correspondent Juliana Driever published an interview with Social Practice Queens (SPQ), "a collaboration of the Art Department of CUNY Queens College and the Queens Museum of Art with the goal of developing an MFA pilot program in Social Practice." Here is one excerpted Q&A:
"Juliana Driever: Unlike other social practice MFA programs, SPQ is in direct partnership with a major museum, which is a unique set-up for an MFA program to start, but even more so given that much socially-engaged art typically takes place beyond museum and gallery contexts. Does the QMA's investment in this program also signal a shift in the role that museums play in support of such work?
"Prerana Reddy/Jose Serrano: At the Queens Museum of Art, we are constantly striving to examine whether the avant-garde in the realms of art and politics can actually meet. Can an art project simultaneously address aesthetics and concrete social goals in public space? This is a constantly evolving process, one that must be responsive to shifting demographics, economic conditions, political will, unplanned crises, and a constantly unfolding definition of art. Unlike the confines of the gallery or contracted set of artistic services rendered in non-museum spaces, engaging in complicated social relations in the "real world†involves a surrender of control over outcome as well as some amount of risk. This is not something that all museums want to enter into or are well-positioned to do."
Monica Westin, wrote about Mara Baker, Mara Baker, "a self-described student of deterioration and residue" about her upcoming show at Sidecar:
"In the 'residue' series, spray paint and glass create transparent layers that give recycled materials 'a new history,' Baker says, 'creating a sense of space without building up.' She's deeply interested in the interplay between the real and the representational in mixed-media work, and the paintings often employ representational images like blurred photographs that formally reference abstract elements. Where previous two dimensional work has been sculptural in its formal approach, she finds such materials can create space and depth without losing the surface of the picture plane. 'Still, I'm most successful when piling, wrapping, and removing something.' She points out a few paintings that have abstract white space, either scraped off or added to the top of her layered images—what Baker calls 'the conceal, something underneath you can't see' that creates somewhat 'quieter objects.'â€
Stephanie Burke's TOP 5 Baby!
Some great coverage from another new contributor Robert Burnier this week. Burnier took the time to review Steven Husby's show, BRUTE FORCe at 65 Grand, "a studied exercise in emergence and the way that severe restrictions can somewhat paradoxically throw subtle expression and gesture into great relief." In a subsequent interview with Burnier, Husby says:
"I would say that I've flirted with pictorial recursivity, deductive structure, and something like absolute opacity for years. The house–painterly way I work really started in undergrad as something to aspire to and something to work against. A kind of pop–inflected formalism was in the air – and I was young and impressionable. Over time I've generally found it to be worthwhile to give myself over to the more excessively restrained aspects of my practice, probably because I'm not a particularly neat, linear, or orderly person, but I like what happens when I try to behave as though I were. I think I was first attracted to limits both as things to provide traction and as things to be subverted in some way. I found as soon as I practiced these things, the force generated through restraint was greater than I could ever achieve without it. The channeling, focusing, and projecting of force – whether from inside or out – is absolutely key to the whole project."
Kickstarter is bandied about once more, as Adrienne Harris discusses the ethics of Zach Braff's recent success in raising money for his film, on his terms"
"I worry that the success of campaigns like Zach Braff's… is going to change the way that studios and producers expect ALL film to be financed in the future. I worry that I will take my next screenplay into a meeting which I am lucky enough to score with Sony Picture Classics and they will say, 'We love it Adrienne. Now come back with $2 million and we'll see what we can do.'"
Which seems like the self-same conversation that came up a while back as far as art institutions go — will government funding similarly dry up in lieue of these public charity campaigns? Which I suppose furthers the question: who is responsible for footing the bill in creative enterprises? Where do we draw the line between entrepreneurial investment, friendship pennies, fans pitching in, and government support?

Nikon has just announced a new 1 Series camera, the V3, which serves as an update to the year and a half old V2, introduced in October, 2012. As was the case with the V1/V2 transition, the V2/V3 evolution also brings some major changes to the camera.
So, what of the new camera?
For starters, the V3 gains a new chip: a 18Mp CMOS 1" sensor. Additionally, the V3 gets the new Expeed 4A processor, which has some very good benefits to the tune to shoot at up to 20fps with continuous AF or 60fps video at full 1080p HD. Now with a lot more processing power than before, Nikon also equipped the V3 with a 171-point, on-chip phase detect AF system, which covers almost the entire frame. Lie the V2 before it, the V3 features full manual control capability.
In-hand, the V3 has a twin mode dial, which serves to eliminate the need for a lot of menu diving on the LCD screen. Here, simply turn a dial and you're good to go. To make for easier picture taking, the V3 comes equipped with a 3-inch, tilting, touch-capable LCD screen. Thankfully, unlike other companies, Nikon has not done away with the actual buttons on the camera. As an added bonus, there is an optional vertical grip for the camera, which features an extra shutter button, control dial, and custom function button.
One major change that a lot of people may not like is the fact that the V3 loses the V2's chambered electronic viewfinder. Now, while not an ideal situation for many, there is good news is that Nikon has introduced an add-on viewfinder with the astounding resolution of 2.4M dots.
Want one yet?
The camera will hit stores in America this April for a price of $1200. While a lot, the news is good as the kit includes the camera, a 10-30mm lens, the battery grip, and electronic viewfinder.

Jobs Considering Attending Tomorrow's Event
- March 1st, 2011
- Apple Rumour, March 2, 2011, Steve Jobs
- Alex Brooks
A pair of reports have been published today that suggest Apple CEO who is currently on an official media leave from the company is considering attending Apple's media event being held in San Francisco tomorrow.
The first report from Italian site setteB.IT says that Steve Jobs is expected to attend tomorrow's media event based on "reassuring information".
A second report from the more credible All Things Digital says that Jobs is "definitely considering" attending tomorrow's event but will most likely be in the form of an appearance rather than hosting the show.
Apple will begin tomorrows event at the Yerba Buena Center for Arts in San Francisco at 10:00 am Pacific time. The event will also be simulcast to European members of the media at the BBC Televison Centre in London at 6:00 pm GMT.

Scoops Westside is a small gourmet ice cream shop in Culver City, right on the cusp of Mar Vista. It's tucked away in a small lot just off Overland Ave. The parking lot is a bit cramped and doesn't have many spots available, but their ice cream is so good it's worth it even if you need to search a bit for street parking.
The ice cream is made fresh in Highland Park and then brought to Scoops Westside. They specialize in gourmet ice cream with unique and out of the box flavor combinations. Some fan favorites include Guinness chocolate, strawberry balsamic, and brown brown bread. Since the ice cream is so fresh, the selection is constantly changing. You can check out the flavors of the day here before you go.
For those who are vegan or lactose intolerant they also offer a large variety of delicious non-dairy options like chocolate apricot, peanut butter burnt sugar, and pear mint wine sorbet.
The service was great. The staff is very knowledgeable and will help you create the perfect ice cream pairing, like, for example, vanilla malt and Thai iced tea. Plus if you're not sure what flavors to get, they'll let you try as many as you like until you find what's right for you. They're also environmentally friendly and use actual teaspoons (not plastic ones) for tasting.
The ice cream is exceptionally creamy and has the perfect consistency: delicate and smooth. The Thai iced tea tasted dead on and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The malt in the vanilla was well balanced and not overpowering.
Pricing is quite affordable especially for the quality of the product. A medium is $4.75 and lets you pick 3 different flavors. You can even get a pint to take home for $7 (4 flavors included). They also serve Intelligentsia coffee and make every order fresh, one cup at a time.
So challenge your palate and journey outside the box of traditional ice cream. Check out Scoops Westside and if inspiration happens to strike, there's a customer suggestion chalkboard for new flavor ideas. Maybe yours will be the next big hit!
And for those who think the Westside location is too big of a trek, have no fear! There's a Scoops in East Hollywood and one in Highland Park as well.

Ski Holidays in Les Deux Alpes
Les Deux Alpes refers to the two original villages of Venosc and Mont de Lan, which over time have merged to become the Les Deux Alpes of today.
Whilst traditional charm is thin on the ground these days, the efficient lift system and great visitor facilities more than make up for the lacking of 'picture postcard' views.
Les Deux Alpes, based in the Southern Alps, really does offer something for everyone. For the skier or boarder, high snow sure skiing (summer skiing also available, please call us for more details), miles of forgiving intermediate pistes, great beginners areas, a world renowned board park & if all this is not enough for you, access to La Grave, the home of off piste skiing. We can offer packages including a liftpass to all of our accommodations so please speak to us for these rates at the time of booking.
For families the resort couldn't be easier, with excellent child care facilities and for party animals, enough bars, restaurants and clubs to keep you busy every night of your holiday.

John Surtees' son, Henry Surtees passes away in a racing accident
Henry Surtees, who was just 18 years old, was killed today in what's being called a 'freak racing accident,' during an F2 race at the Brands Hatch circuit in the UK. Henry was the son of John Surtees, the only man ever to win both 500cc motorcycle grand prix racing (1956, with MV Agusta) and F1 car racing (1964, with Ferrari) world championships.
'He had shown himself to be one with the possibilities of reaching the very top. Despite his young age he had shown maturity, technical understanding and speed. Most importantly, he was a nice person and a loving son. He will be deeply missed,' said John, speaking about Henry.
We convey our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the Surtees family.

A recent leak is showing a device that appears to be the next Samsung Galaxy Player. The device is sporting the model number of YP-GP1 and bearing a look similar to that of the Galaxy S IIII smartphone. Of course, the Galaxy Player will not have anything in terms of cellular connectivity. The folks over at SamMobile are expecting Samsung to offer an official announcement during IFA 2012, however until then — we have these leaked specs and one image. Other details note that this Galaxy Player will be running Android 4.0.4 ICS along with Samsung's TouchWiz + Motion user interface. The Galaxy player should be available in black and white and with a 5.8-inch qHD (540 x 960) display, dual-core 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, microSD card slot, 2500 mAh battery and front and rear-facing cameras. That said, time will tell just how accurate this ends up being. But we are curious — anyone interested in a stand-alone media player at this point?

This event challenges the serious power-boater's navigation skills in a competitive but friendly environment. Participants discover just how well they know their boat's performance characteristics at various speeds and how well they can predict the time it will take to travel each leg of a course in a variety of marine conditions.
PCYA awards two trophies at the conclusion of this annual event. The Harry Barusch Perpetual Trophy is awarded for the best performance by an individual, while the Joseph V. Castagna Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the individual yacht club with the best overall performance by its members.
The 2014 Barusch-Castagna Predicted Log Regatta took place the weekend of June 20-23, 2014, at Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle and was co-sponsored by PCYA and the International Power Boaters Association of Seattle. Edward Denaci, with navigator David Weimer, won the championship trophy aboard the powerboat, "Redemption." Representing the San Diego Cruisers Association, skipper Denaci along with skipper Robert Ehlers and navigator Denis Sempsrott won the Castagna Team Trophy. The team of Bob Lindal and Jeff Ewell of the IPBA were a close second.
The powerboats used are "loaned" to the participants during the three day event and there is a "draw" on Thursday evening to see which boat each contestant will use. On Friday, the contestant takes the boat out to determine speeds and how it handles. On Saturday, the contestant submits his or her estimate of their arrival time and then navigates the boat over the course. Competitors may not use GPS, radar, nor timepieces, and the event is a real test of seamanship. Complete 2014 results can be seen in this PDF document (opens in new window).
The 2013 regatta took place at Del Rey Y.C. and California Y.C., on June 27-29. The hosting associations were the Santa Monica Bay Power Fleet and the Southern California Cruisers Association. The regatta scores are listed below.
This difficult event lets participants join with other boaters in developing good piloting habits and navigation skills. At the same time, it brings people together with those who share their passion for the water.

The future is filled with patient centered healthcare. And the future is closer than you think. Thinking about pregnancy, not sure you want to get pregnant, suffering from endometriosis or PCOS, this brilliant app might make you fall in love with your own operating system.
A Fertility app.
We've all said it she's got that pregnancy glow. Fittingly named, the Glow app, this Fertility app can help women who may want to have a child in the near future or a few years from now. The idea is to give women a better understanding of potential challenges to getting pregnant in the future and to help identify potential problems with their reproductive health. A data analysis component, Glow Genius, relies on information users' log each day to track their health. It formed a partnership with MyFitnessPal to integrate user data on things like body mass index, nutrition and fitness data and analyze that with other user data. It adds to that insights gleaned from medical journals and medical advisers to better assess when a woman has the best chance of getting pregnant.
Women having a harder time conceiving can use this app because its tools help them track their menstrual cycle and risk of getting pregnant. It also helps flag potential problems women may have such as endometriosis and PCOS.
The company added a community forum at the end of last year for women to share news about their pregnancy, share insights and ask questions. The company, which is part of HVF Labs, claims that more than 1,000 women have become pregnant using the app.
No water, no time, or loss of mobility to brush your teeth, not a problem.
When Tim Trader was in a horrific motorcycle accident brushing his teeth was a chore. Tim felt powerless asking for help with a task that is taken for granted. John Gallagher observed that some 40 years ago while serving as an Army medic during the Vietnam War. It wasn't easy for him as a traveler to find a sink and supplies to brush his teeth, much less for the patients he was working with who had lost arms to brush their own, he sketched up an alternative toothbrush that required no water, toothbrush or toothpaste.
Gallagher's invention the Clean Bite™ is a dissolvable mouthpiece that's made of gelatin, the sugar alcohol xylitol, and a dentifrice (another word for an agent that cleans and polishes the teeth) called The Answer. A user puts it in their mouth, chews it for 60 to 90 seconds – at which point it begins to dissolve – and then either swallows it or throws it away. Each mouthpiece has about 800 bristles that help distribute the dentifrice, which is stored in four reservoirs that rupture when a person bites down on them. If the idea of swallowing the dissolved material sounds a little strange, Gallagher said not to be alarmed: "It's a certified food product; there's nothing in it that's not found in other food-related products." What an innovative necessary product. My only hope is there won't be many calories since we'll be swallowing it.
And Gallagher's sees more potential.The Clean Bite™ when consumed maybe employed as a delivery system for vitamins, nutrients, medications, and possibly microencapsulated vaccines in developing countries. This water soluble and biodegradable comes in different flavors and sizes for both adults and children.
Lois Trader, your National Heart Health Editor believes we must be our own advocates. Our health is our responsibility. Apps and innovative devices can help all of us take better care of ourselves now, and help to plan a healthy future.

PHP templating engine, and I'm not totally satisfied with the rendered
HTML as extra unwanted line-breaks and spaces are added which make the result quite untidy. To make my templates more flexible, I am using
macros which can call each other in a nested fashion, which in itself works fine, but seems to make things worse. For instance, a
 element is rendered as follows:
 some text with some html
I know that part of the reason is the way my
twig templates are formatted, as if I remove empty lines and indenting from them, the rendered
HTML looks a bit more tidy, but not completely: the below output shows a rendered
 with still 2 line breaks between the start and end of the element, despite the corresponding template not containing any empty lines or spaces!:
some text with some html
Even though it helps, removing formatting from my
twig templates (i.e. empty lines and indenting) isn't really an option as it makes my template very hard to read and maintain.
Apart from removing formatting from templates. what are the ways to render a cleaner/tidier HTML with

The IMP series were managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center with the primary objectives of investigation of interplanetary plasma and the interplanetary magnetic field. The orbiting of IMP satellites in a variety of interplanetary and earth orbits allowed study of spatial and temporal relationships of geophysical and interplanetary phenomena simultaneously by several other National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellites. The IMP network provided a crucial 'early warning network' of solar flare activity for Apollo manned missions that ventured beyond the Van Allen Radiation Belts.

The cancer death rate in America is declining.
A new national cancer study looks at the numbers between 2002 and 2004. It shows the cancer death rate decreased by 2.1-percent each year.
But while those numbers declined, Kentucky remains the state with the highest number of cancer deaths across the country.
"I don't miss checkups, but maybe that's part of being a cancer survivor," Joyce Light explained.
Light is a former Bowling Green teacher, a worker at First Baptist Church and a survivor of thyroid and carcinoma cancer.
"I had two types of cancer and I found it early," Light added.
Now, Joyce is cancer free, but her home state of Kentucky is suffering from the highest cancer death rates in the country.
Here in Kentucky, tobacco is a tradition and a livelihood.
But according to the American Cancer Society, the state's cancer death rate is directly linked to the crop in several ways.
"We do have some of the lowest cigarette taxes in the country," explained Melinda Craft, with the American Cancer Society.
And then there's the issue of the smoking ban that has yet to take affect in area restaurants.
"We do know that secondhand smoke is deadly, and it does cause lung cancer and people do die from it. Passage of clean air ordinances are a proven means of reducing death," she continued.
But despite Kentucky's top ranking in cancer deaths, the numbers have dropped in recent years.
That's something Joyce attributes to a more common awareness of the disease.
"With this being breast cancer awareness month, you hear about women getting their mammograms, where they can get their mammograms, if they can't afford them, they know what to do," Light said.
"We still have one in three people diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, so to be a survivor, you have to be diligent," Craft added.
"I just know that it's a lot easier to treat when you catch it early, and be aggressive with your treatment and pay attention to what your doctor's telling you," Light concluded.
According to the National Cancer Institute, three area counties have actually shown an increase in the number of cancer-related deaths.
Those counties are Allen, Metcalfe and Russell.

Sharing Leads to Job Creation
If you blog about this, you will create many jobs according to Sooqini's Tiago Mateus…
Over the last few years we have seen the sharing economy take off in the UK, particularly in areas of high inefficiency with underutilised assets. Airbnb for properties, eBay for goods and ParkatmyHouse for parking spaces, are already well recognized by many. In 2013 the sharing economy is now extending to a more intangible, yet invaluable asset: time.
On average UK residents have become busier, yet the value of their time has risen significantly. According to the Telegraph over 100 years ago the average sleeping time was 9.2 hours – today it is 6.9 hours. In addition the average person in the UK earns more than we used to. With less sleep, we also have more stress and less care for our health. According to Business Matters Magazine, stress costs Britain £3.7bn per year with more than 13 million risking mental health problems. On top of this, with social media and the internet, more people procrastinate.
Sooqini was created to address UK's time-crunch and manage time more wisely for millions of the UK public.
Sooqini, simply, is a task marketplace: using an online and mobile application you can outsource any of your "to-do" list to trusted members of your local community on your terms – price, place and time. Growing quickly to almost 10,000 individuals and small businesses signed up, and the support of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), Sooqini is changing how people get things done.
While Sooqini is saving Londoners already a few hours in the day, it is also generating thousands of new jobs for others that have more time and multiple skills to offer.
Making money can be easy as doing someone's groceries, teaching someone how to cook, assembling some IKEA furniture, teaching someone how to play squash, cleaning or delivering a meal. With Sooqini, anyone can extra money around their schedule, and build a reputation with ratings and feedback to be more employable.
We hope London bloggers take notice of this trend and help raise critical awareness of task marketplaces like Sooqini. As one task is a job for someone else, we can collectively create many jobs and help the UK economy get back on its feet.

Special Needs Trust
|Questions & Advice
|Related Pages
I'm looking for an attorney with experience setting up special needs trusts for family members with mental health issues. Ideally, that person would be not only smart but compassionate. I'm pretty sure I need this kind of trust, but hope the person could advise me about whether a living trust is a better choice. Anon
Hi - My family is looking to set up a Special Needs Trust for my adult brother, who lives in Manhattan. Does anyone know of an attorney either practicing in NY or familiar with NY benefits laws? My brother lives on his own and gets SSI, but we would like to supplement this a little now and then (for clothing, gym membership, etc) and make sure that when our two sets of parents (one in DE and one here in CA) pass away that he will have a little security. Any help appreciated. Thank you. Grateful sister

I have less contact info, but a strong reco for another: Ellyn Kravitz, 3rd Ave near Grand Central Station very experienced with New York Medicaid, and with elder law generally. Hope this helps
We have two Special Needs boys. they are 11 and 7. our 11 Y.O. has Fetal Alcholism, ADHD, mild retardation and Social problems. My 7 Y.O. has verbal apraxia, so he speaks very little, he is also very socially and developmental disabled. All of these, (most anyway) are invisable, so on sight my kids look perfectally ''normal''. This is a bigger problem than people understand, and as they get older it increases in degree of difficulty.
Here's where we need advice. Someday we will not be around to arrange their lives. that day may be 10 or 20 years away, but my partner and I cannot help but wonder how they will get through life. So the question is, are there parents, like us, out there who have come up with some ideas on how to leave your Special Need family members when you are no longer around to protect them. Any thoughts would by helpful.
We are looking for a lawyer who is specialized in setting up guardianship. We don't own anything so we don't need a trust. We want to make sure that our child is taken care of in case we can't. Our child may fall into the category of special needs, but we will only know for sure in a few years. Any recommendation? -a
I'm looking for a financial planner with experience planning for a special needs child as well as retirement and college. I would want to use fee-based services. I'm also looking for a lawyer with experience setting up special needs trusts. Any recommendations from other families with special needs children? Jessica
Can anyone recommend an estate planning/wills attorney specializing in setting up estate plans and special needs trusts for a family with a disabled child who will need life long care? Thank you. Diane

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was in two words: awe and some. Ten years after the celebrated Alzheimer's medication turned deadly, we're reintroduced to the world where humans are scarce and the apes are growing in population. Led by Caesar (who is played by the king of post human acting, Andy Serkis), we get to know how the apes have thrived during the ten years the humans were wiped out. Malcom (Jason Clarke) and Dreyfus (Gary Oldham) are the leaders of a colony in what is left of San Francisco. As they endeavor to reestablish power throughout the city the world of humans and apes collide.
This movie is intense. There are some moments of tenderheartedness to let your heart warm up, but only long enough to plunge you back into panic. There were so many "edge-of-your-seat" scenes that my jaw hurt afterwards from clenching my teeth! The music was perfect. The apes were completely believable. And what is more unsettling than to be surrounding by humongous silverback gorillas with a lust for human blood? Oh, I know, a chimpanzee ravaged by hate wielding two M4s on the back of a charging black horse. Yeah, that wins.
The hero of this movie is undoubtedly Caesar. Despite his rocky childhood and adolescence, he is the kind of leader you can't help but feel proud of. It's weird. Other than thinking about ramen noodles randomly throughout, all I could think about was how awesome Caesar was and taking mental notes on his leadership style. Bizarre? No, great writing. Props to writers Mark Bomback, Rick Jaffa, and Amanda Silver and major props to director, Matt Reeves. And the Oscar goes to – Andy Serkis!
Rotten Tomatoes gave this one a 91%. I THOROUGHLY recommend it. Your trip to the zoo will never be the same. "Caesar, is that you?"

- well, that deadline went well. In the black and white stark certainty that words pretend, irony is perhaps difficult to distinguish.
- the rising tide of an anxious bubbling as deadlines and presentations furtively sneak ever nearer. A merry go round involving the emperor's clothes and confusing making sense of it myself with communicating to others.
