"This was my second stay at Splendide Royal, and the experience was even better than the first.

What you should know about Via Veneto
Hotels in Via Veneto
Synonymous with Roman sophistication, you'll find some of the city's best luxury hotels near Via Veneto. Examples include the sumptuous Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, where you can enjoy breakfast in a converted stable that once hosted Caravaggio, or watch the sun set over the city skyline from the hotel's sophisticated rooftop bar. There's also a good choice of 5-star hotels near Via Veneto. Housed in a 19th-century palace, Hotel Splendide Royal sits on a hill overlooking Villa Borghese's gardens, and boasts panoramic views of the city. Guesthouses on Via Veneto are also popular, in particular the well-priced La Piccola Maison, which is ideally located next to Barberini metro station.
Things to see in Via Veneto
Located at the southern end of this elegant thoroughfare, Piazza Barberini is a 16th-century square featuring the Bernini-designed Triton Fountain and quirky Fountain of the Bees. This iconic piazza is also a great place to start your Via Veneto vacation. A short stroll north from here will bring you to the Convento dei Frati Minori Cappuccini, a lesser-known attraction with somewhat of a cult following. Here, you can visit unique crypts embellished with the skulls of monks that once called this monastery home. Continuing your journey along Via Veneto, stroll past the many stylish hotels and cafés that line this street until you reach Porta Pinciana, the ancient city gate that marks the end of Via Veneto and the start of the magnificent Villa Borghese gardens.
Good for luxury travelers
For many Italians, Via Veneto conjures up images of sophisticated movie stars, high-class celebrities, and the elite cliques that once frequented this street and inspired Fellini's celebrated movie. This sense of elegance and style is still in evidence at many of the upscale hotels near Via Veneto. With some of Rome's classiest accommodation located on this one street, you'll be spoiled for choice with options ranging from full-service spas, wellness centers, and gourmet restaurants. Via Veneto also boasts a number of stylish bars and cafés—Harry's Bar and Elle Ristorante Bar are especially popular with the city's fashionable set.
How to get to Via Veneto
Via Veneto is about a 45-minute drive from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. If you plan on taking public transportation from the airport, the best option is take the Leonardo Express train to Rome's main Termini train station, transfer to the metro, and head to Barberini station. From Ciampino Airport, take a bus to Laurentina, transfer to the metro to get to Termini, and then take another metro to Barberini. Barberini metro station sits at the end of Via Veneto, allowing easy access to the entire city. The street itself is also served by 4 bus stops and is easily navigated on foot.

Liberalism and Democracy: Can't Have One Without the Other
Less than a quarter-century ago, democracy appeared to be confined, with a few exceptions, to North America and Western Europe. These nations had advanced industrial economies, sizable middle classes, and high literacy rates-factors that many political scientists regarded as prerequisites for successful democracy. They were home not only to free and competitive multiparty elections but also to the rule of law and the protection of individual liberties. In short, they were what had come to be called "liberal democracies."
In the rest of the world, by contrast, most countries were neither liberal nor democratic. They were ruled by a variety of dictatorships-military, single-party, revolutionary, Marxist-Leninist-that rejected free, multiparty elections (in practice, if not always in principle). By the early 1990s, however, this situation had changed dramatically, as an astonishing number of autocratic regimes around the world fell from power. They were generally succeeded by regimes that at least aspired to be democratic, giving rise to the phenomenon that Samuel P. Huntington termed the "third wave" of democratization. Today, well over a hundred countries, in every continent in the world, can plausibly claim to have freely elected governments.
Outside of Africa, few of these aspiring new democracies have suffered outright reversions to authoritarianism. But many, even among those that hold unambiguously free and fair elections, fall short of providing the protection of individual liberties and adherence to the rule of law commonly found in the long-established democracies. As Larry Diamond has put it, many of the new regimes are "electoral democracies"

Previous spacecraft[edit]
Wasn't the Lunar Module the immediate predicessor of this spacecraft? Saying the space shutttle was is like saying the F-18 is the immediate predicessor to the F-22. Technically yes it was, but not in the same role.
The LSAM and its roles[edit]
As the Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM) is a heir to the legacy of the Apollo Lunar Module, it was designed by NASA with the mind as both a crew transport, and as a cargo transport. The Apollo Applications Program (AAP, which later became Skylab), a program similar to Project Constellation originally saw the use of the Apollo LM as both a lunar base (ascent module, minus engine) and as a transport. To supply the outpost, NASA would launch an Apollo Command/Service Module and a so-called "LM Truck," which would be guided down to the surface by the orbiting astronauts in a manner similar to that of the aerial drones used by the U.S. Air Force in Afghanistan and Iraq. The LSAM, which is, function-wise, a descendent of both the Apollo LM and the AAP LM Truck, would do the same function as that proposed for the AAP-era lunar base, but for the cargo-only mode, the LSAM would not need a crew to haul her out to the Moon — cargo LSAM can fly out and land with controllers in Houston doing the piloting. Also, the LSAM, unlike the Apollo LM, will have the same camping-like comforts that the Apollo astronauts would dream of (toilet, hot food, airlock, etc.). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rwboa22 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
The LSAM Ascent Engine[edit]
The article states that a RL-10 engine will be used on the ascent stage. This is incorrect, a hypergolic engine, similar to the one used on the CEV, is much more likely. References to the ascent stage using cryogenics should be changed.
Usage and Grammar Problem[edit]
Found this sentence in the "Description" area:
"It will also be flown unmanned, similarly to the Apollo Applications Program's LM Truck concept, but without having to fly a manned Orion spacecraft out to the Moon."
I cannot make heads or tails of this sentence. What will be flown unmanned? What is the LM truck concept? Are we sending unmanned Orion spacecraft to the moon? How is an unmanned Orion craft circling the moon part of the Altair manned moon landing project? I am completely lost. I appreciate any effort to make this clear. Kjdamrau (talk) 02:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)kjdamrau
Computer game[edit]
I came to this page when looking for the page about the Lunar Lander game. "Lunar lander" redirects here, but there's no "'Lunar lander' redirects here, for the game, see Lunar lander (computer game)". I only managed to find the game page using a google search. Surely this would be a useful addition to the page? Haddock420 14:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
LSAM has now been renamed Altair. I am creating a single RM nomination to handle all articles affected. —GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 20:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Lunar Surface Access Module → Altair (spacecraft)
- LSAM 1 → Altair 1
- LSAM 2 → Altair 2
- LSAM 3 → Altair 3
- LSAM 4 → Altair 4
- LSAM 5 → Altair 5
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with
~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Any additional comments:
just a question - the ascent module looks like the only living, working and airlock space for a crew of 4 for a 1 week stay. Does the support structure house any extra habitable space?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
ALTAIR was the name of the forbidden planet in the 1957 sci-fi film FORBIDDEN PLANET, which has a lot of nerd[read:NASA] street cred and influenced a lot of sci-fi films. Are we sure that the name diddn't come from there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:51, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- If you can find that stated by a third party, verifiable source, then great. However, the way you state it, it sounds like original research and conjecture. Grant (talk) 06:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Altair and Orion are both Lockheed's airplanes from the 30's. ([[1]]) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:02, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Did the design of the spacecraft changed?[edit]
In the latest video on Nasa's website, the video titled "New space suit" if my memory is good enough, shows the Altair having a closed descent stage, hiding the yellow tanks we were used to see in the artistic video released before. In this video, the Altair seems qui different than the one we were used to see because of that.--Jerem © 2002-2006 (talk) 17:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Does the total mass of Altair at lunar orbit equal descend+ascend (~45t) or the descend mass includes ascend (eg. total Altair = Descend?) Alinor (talk) 11:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
In 'LEO'?[edit]
In the paragraph 'On-orbit assembly', there is mention of the Orion spacecraft in docking with the Altair 'in LEO', what does 'in LEO' mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Learned later that 'in LEO' stands for 'low Earth orbit', will add this to the article where applicable.

The Fire Service was called after an occupant asleep in the
second›floor room where the fire started was startled by a
smoke alarm shrieking, East Otago Fire Risk Management
officer Michael Harrison said.
''He discovered the fire and alerted everyone else and then
the other smoke alarms sounded.''
The man was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene.
There were about six occupants in the 10›bedroom property at
the time of the fire.
''They had smoke alarms installed one or two months ago.
Without those it would have been quite a different story.
''Luckily there was just damage to the building and no
serious injuries to anyone.''
Fire damage was limited to one part of the flat and into the
roof area, with smoke and water damage to the second floor.
While the cause of the fire was yet to be confirmed, it was
not believed to be suspicious, he said.

It's nice to meet you! I'm Jade Woodruff. I'm an artist.
I created Bento Studios in 2007 because I love sharing my art.
I've dabbled in just about every medium ranging from paint to digital media but I really love working with COPIC markers, graphite, oil pastels, and pen/ink the most. Illustration, Fine Art, and Graphic Design are my fortes.
In 2010, I was accepted as a member and in 2012, I became an Exhibiting Artist at the Island Art Association in Fernandina Beach, Florida. You can periodically find my work on display and for sale there during the Art Nouveau shows. I have received dozens of awards for my fine art and video productions. I also exhibit and sell my art at a variety of trade shows and multi-cultural conventions throughout the Southeast region.
Currently, I'm working on my new graphic novel series entitled Game Over. It's about a gamer named Tristan who wishes that he could play video games instead of taking tests in school. One day, his wish ends up mysteriously coming true and, every time he takes a test thereafter, he is virtually transported to a video game realm. If he beats the game, he passes the test! The fourth book of the series was released in spring of 2015 and I'm working hard to get books five through seven out this year as well.
I'm available for commissions and offer reasonable, affordable pricing options. If you're interested in having custom art made for you, please contact me at jade(at)bentostudios.com. I usually offer a 1-week turn around on all commissions.
Thank you for your continued support! I look forward to seeing you soon!

Macromolecular drugs hold great promise as novel therapeutics of several major disorders, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, their use is limited by lack of efficient, safe, and specific delivery strategies. Successful development of such strategies requires interdisciplinary collaborations involving researchers with expertise on e.g., polymer chemistry, cell biology, nano technology, systems biology, advanced imaging methods, and clinical medicine. This poses obvious challenges to the scientific community, but also provides opportunities for the unexpected at the interface between different disciplines. This review summarizes recent studies of macromolecular delivery that should be of interest to researchers involved in macromolecular drug synthesis as well as in vitro and in vivo drug delivery studies.

- I returned from the St. Petersburg G20 Summit meeting on Saturday afternoon and I felt it was important for me to brief you as soon as I could.
- Syria dominated the Summit meeting in a way no other political development has ever done at the G20 summit. It also dominated all the bilateral meetings I had with world leaders. The main focus was on the allegations of chemical weapons use and the forthcoming report from my investigation team.
- I have not yet received the report from Dr. [Åke] Sellström, nor do I know what it will contain.
- But I do know there has been significant speculation regarding a major use of chemical agents on August 21st leading to the death of hundreds of civilian people.
- Should this be confirmed by the report from Dr. Sellström and his investigation team, then this would be an abominable crime, and the international community would certainly have to do something about it.
- Two and half years of conflict in Syria have produced only embarrassing paralysis in the Security Council.
- Should Dr. Sellström's report confirm the use of chemical weapons, then this would surely be something around which the Security Council could unite in response -- and indeed something that should merit universal condemnation.
- I am already considering certain proposals that I could make to the Security Council when presenting the investigation team's report.
- There would be a need for accountability, both to bring to justice those who used them -- should Dr. Sellström confirm their use -- and to deter anyone else from using these abhorrent methods of warfare.
- There would be a need for greater security regarding any chemical weapons stocks.
- And there remains an urgent need for the international conference in Geneva and a cessation of hostilities.
- The Syrian people need peace.
- Let me now say just a few words about the regular work of the G20 discussions, where there was progress on growth, jobs, food security, trade and investment.
- I urged the G20 leaders to put inclusive and sustainable development at the core of their work.
- In particular, I called for increased commitment on achieving the Millennium Development Goals, accelerating the MDGs, defining a global development agenda beyond 2015, and addressing climate change.
- I was encouraged by the response from the G20 leaders, and I look forward to building on those discussions during the General Debate later this month when leaders come to the United Nations.
- I plan to brief you in more detail next week about my priorities for that period. I thank you very much for your attention and I am ready to answer your questions.
Q: My question is: there was an announcement this morning by the Russian Foreign Minister that Russia will press Syria to put the chemical weapons under UN control and the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, told Charlie Rose in an interview that he could not even acknowledge that there were chemical weapons in Syria. How do you think an agreement by Russia would come about? Do you know anything about it? And would it lead to Security Council action? Thank you.
SG: Thank you. I have taken note of Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov of Russia's remarks just a short while ago in Moscow. And I also took note of Secretary of State John Kerry's remarks earlier today in London. I welcome these ideas. In fact, as I said in my introductory remarks, I have already been considering certain proposals that I could make to the Security Council when I present the investigation team's report. For a number of days already, I have been considering our proposals in particular. I'm considering urging the Security Council to demand the immediate transfer of Syria's chemical weapons and chemical precursor stocks to places inside Syria where they can be safely stored and destroyed. And I urge again [that] Syria should become party to the OPCW [Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons].
Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General. With the situation right now, with the war drums in the region, do you know if diplomats are considering removing, evacuating the UNIFIL [United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon] staff in Lebanon? Do you consider that in case of war?
SG: We have quite a number of UN staff working in Syria, including international staff and domestic, national staff. And for UNRWA [United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East] staff, we have more than 3,000 there – including all of them, almost over 4,500 staff are there. We have been taking very careful, necessary preparations and consideration, how we should ensure the safety and security of UN staff there. We will continue to very carefully monitor the evolving situation. I can assure you that the security and safety of UN staff is paramount, but at the same time, there [is] a lot of humanitarian work which we have to do, delivering humanitarian assistance daily to many people who need our support. Therefore, I can make sure that we are making necessary preparations concerning the safety and security of our staff.
Q: If Syria says yes to transferring its chemical stocks to international control, how quickly can you, the UN, respond and take control of those stocks? What's the time frame?
SG: I think that would be proper [thing] for Syria to do, to agree to these proposals. Then I am sure that the international community will [take] very swift action to make sure that these stocks, chemical weapons stocks, will be stored safely and will be destroyed. I do not have any doubt and worry about that. First and foremost, Syria must agree positively to this.
Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General. The Foreign Minister of Russia has said that, if the US goes ahead with military action against Syria, that will be the end of the possibility of peace talks in Geneva. Do you believe this is the case, and what would you urge the US Congress to do?
SG: As you know, I was there in St. Petersburg with Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi. We discussed all the matters concerning the current situation and how the current situation and current debate on the possible international response could affect the Geneva II peace conference. At this time, of course, we can easily think that this may affect negatively the convening [of] the Geneva conference, but it is important that we continue to pursue, to convene a Geneva conference as soon as possible. This political resolution, political solution, is the only viable option at this time. There were a lot of discussions and debates among the world leaders on many possible issues, but at this time, I do not have any clear answer to this; but what I can assure you that I and Lakhdar Brahimi will continue to work very closely together with the United States and Russia, who were the original initiators of this.
Q: Mr. Secretary-General, should you be successful at getting the chemical weapons under control and out of the hands of people who can use them, how do you expect to be or what suggestion do you have to make sure that those who are responsible for using them are indeed punished, because your UN team is not going to place blame on any party – they're just going to confirm whether they were used or not.
SG: I believe that [these are] separate issues. The accountability process is another one and making sure that nobody commits such horrendous use of chemical weapons and also [making] sure that the current Syrian chemical weapons stock should be safely stored and destroyed so that there will be no such possibility. So I believe that even with this, accountability should be pursued in accordance with what had happened, in accordance with the investigative team's report. Thank you very much. Thank you; see you again.
- In a statement to the 24th session of the Human Rights Council, High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said that the international community has been very late to take serious joint action to halt the downward spiral that has gripped Syria, slaughtering its people and destroying its cities.
- She said that this is no time for powerful States to continue to disagree on the way forward, or for geopolitical interests to override the legal and moral obligation to save lives by bringing this conflict to an end.
- There are no easy exits and no obvious pathway out of this nightmare, she added, except the immediate negotiation of concrete steps to end the conflict. States, together with the United Nations, must find a way to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table and halt the bloodshed.
- The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said that it remains deeply concerned about developments in relation to Camp New Iraq, most notably the security of the remaining residents, in light of the horrific events leading to the death of 52 residents last week.
- UNHCR urges that a peaceful solution be found and calls in particular on the Iraqi Government to ensure the security of the residents.
- Addressing the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), its Director General, Yukiya Amano, said that he remains seriously concerned about the nuclear programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. He said that the country's statements concerning a third nuclear test and its intention to restart its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon, together with its previous statements about uranium enrichment activities and the construction of a light water reactor, are deeply regrettable.
- On Iran, Mr. Amano said that the country is not providing the necessary cooperation to enable the IAEA to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities. He said that the Agency therefore cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.
- On Syria, he urged the country to cooperate fully with the IAEA in connection with unresolved issues related to the Dair Alzour site and other locations.
- The Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region, Mrs. Mary Robinson, and the Secretary-General's Special Representative in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mr. Martin Kobler, together with the Special Envoys Representatives of the African Union, European Union, and the United States, issued a declaration at the end of their joint visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda from September 3 to7.
- The expressed their strong support to the call by the Heads of State present at the 7th Extraordinary Summit of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) for maximum restraint by parties to the conflict, and urge all illegitimate armed groups to lay down their weapons and prioritize a political solution.
- They also encouraged the signatories of the Peace, Security, and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region to advance the process through continued regional cooperation.

No "real" Serial Port...No Problem
Most laptops (possibly all of them by now) no longer include traditional RS-232 serial ports, but I regularly use serial communications in my engineering work. I often find it necessary to monitor comms on two devices simultaneously. As a person who has never had very good experiences with most USB-to-serial converter devices (they've never been very reliable for me), I was skeptical when a colleague recommended a PC-card style replacement. Now, I'm glad he did. With this card, I now have two very stable and very reliable "real" RS-232 serial ports on my laptop. Install was very simple and the unit operates as well as any serial device I've ever owned. Also, Buy.com's price on it was about $30 less than I had seen at other electronics sites. If you need to add a serial port (or two) to a laptop, I would strongly recommend buying this Startech CardBus serial adapter from Buy.com.

Buy the correct stylus,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Generic 3 Pack of Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen (Red + Black + Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This review has stirred interest beyond the value of said stylus.
3 Pack (Red + Black + Silver) of Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen for Apple iPod Touch 2nd 3rd 4th Gen, iPhone 3G 3GS 4th Gen Generation
These are inexpensive, ok, cheap, stylus. I bought them to test on a cheap tablet I was testing and they worked very good. If they are lost, stolen or eaten by Fido, who cares. We are talking about bang for the buck here. And yes, they are made across the big pond.
If you need status, spend the big bucks, but don't cry if it goes missing. It could be hiding next to that missing $200.00 remote.
Better yet, make one yourself, it's a fun and interesting project. Brings out that MacGyver rush from the 80's.
There are three (3) types of touch screens, buy the correct stylus for your screen.
From eHow:
Resistive-type screens lack the clarity of other touch screens but they tend to be very durable and can be used in a variety of environments. Resistive-type screens are the most common in use today.
Capacitive screens are resistant to outside elements, making them very durable, and they still maintain a high clarity. Unlike resistive and surface wave screens, which can be used with stylus, capacitive panels must be touched with a finger.
Surface wave touch panels are the more advanced of the three types, offering the highest clarity. But they are more easily damaged by outside elements.
The iPad has a capacitive touch screen, your gloves won't work, and that plastic stylus from your old Palm PDA won't work either. Buy a capacitive stylus for your iPad.
Update 04.11.12
All this STYLUS stuff...
Capacitive touchscreens are everywhere. They're in iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android/Windows smartphones, and all new tablets. Pretty much any mobile touchscreen device that is worth having, comes with a capacitive touchscreen. A stylus makes it easier to draw, paint, sketch, even write, but you'll probably loose it too. If a screen saver has been applied, it may effect the power of the stylus.
The iPad requires a capacitive stylus, something that will conduct electric flow from your body to the screen. That's why your finger works so good, the screen was designed that way. Have a finger, always have a stylus with you. Have a glove on, not so much, electrical flow is blocked, unless you have conductive thread sewn into the finger tips of the gloves.
Can't decide on a stylus, cheap or pricey. Here are a couple of pricey models, Pogo Sketch Plus - Silver $14.95, Jot Stylus - $19.99 to $29.99. This discussion has been about cheap, but the cheap Universal, looks a lot like the Pogo Sketch Plus, do I smell a copy-cat here?
Or make your own stylus, cheap, easy, fun and you might learn something. Google "Make or DIY touch screen stylus". [...]
What'll you'll need: a cheap plastic or metal ink pen, un-insulated small-gauge wire, a sponge or conductive foam, and a pair of scissors. Now you can make your own stylus in 5-10 minutes. Use a sponge for the tip, have to add a drop or two of water. Go with the metal pen body, lose the wire.
What is conductive foam, It's a plastic foam that has been saturated with carbon particles, allowing it to dissipate static charges. Due to the high carbon content, it is usually black in color. It is frequently used for packaging or storing static-sensitive electronic components, such as MOSFET transistors and integrated circuits.

MOST android devices are capacitive at the moment. There were some low-end early tablets that were resistive but most of the newer ones are not. I think all the i-stuff is capacitive as well.

It works on my Dell touch screen computer, my droid x(though not as well. ) and my Ipad. But they are FAR from durable. If they can survive the shipping then you could use them for awhile.You dont have to push so hard...which is a common mistake. I find myself wanting to do at times. But they are cheap and crappy...but they work for now lol

Harry, that's some delicious Spam you're serving up. You posts don't contribute at all and their only purpose is to direct people to your website. Give it a rest and spend some of those big bucks on real advertising instead of Spamming Amazon's review system. Spammers suck.

You get what you paid for. I ordered these stylus in December and just received them in the first week of January. They came in a yellow protected envelope. Two of the stylus came damaged. They are cheaply made. Think of a radio antenna on a portable radio. The one that wasn't damaged works well if you don't mind the light cheap feeling. Since the stylus didn't cost much, its not worth sending it back

Goldman Sachs's Blankfein May Step Down This Year, Fortune Says
Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. since 2006, may step down as early as the U.S. summer, Fortune Magazine reported today, citing an unnamed executive at the firm.
Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer, is the board's top candidate to replace Blankfein, according to the report. Blankfein's departure isn't certain, Fortune wrote. David Wells, a spokesman for the New York-based firm, declined to comment.
Goldman Sachs's 2011 earnings dropped 47 percent to the lowest level since 2008 on a second consecutive annual decline in fixed-income trading revenue. Blankfein has sought to repair the firm's reputation after the Securities and Exchange Commission and a Senate subcommittee accused the company of misleading buyers of mortgage-linked investments.
J. Michael Evans, a vice chairman who runs Goldman Sachs business in growth markets, has tried to position himself to replace Blankfein, Fortune reported. He hasn't won the support of the board, Fortune said.
Goldman Sachs shares have jumped 28 percent in 2012 after plunging 46 percent last year.

Lots of economic doom and gloom out there at the moment - but, if you want to hear some good news, come along and join us for a Start-up Networking Event on the evening of November 6th in The Four Seasons hotel in Dublin. We have some exciting news about a new program specifically designed for Start-ups (designed to give software, support and visibility to accelerate Start-up success :).
Paul Rellis (Microsoft Ireland's GM) and Cliff Reeves (GM of Microsoft's Global Emerging Business Team) will start off proceedings with some brief presentations about the new program. That will be followed by a panel discussion on how we can foster start-ups and innovation in Ireland today. The panel will be formed of local Start-ups, VCs and some reps from industry bodies.
The Digital Island Meetup schedule will then kick off - with some presentations from MoMoDublin and Open Demo, a chance for local start-ups to show off their wares and get some feedback from the community.
It should be a great event - so if you are involved with a start-up (or even just thinking about it) - do register and come along!

Earlier this year, a regional SWAT team led by deputies with the Pinal County (Ariz.) Sheriff's Office took POLICE Magazine into the Vekol Valley in the Arizona desert to show one way smugglers bring narcotics across the U.S.-Mexico border. Smugglers often use illegal immigrants as drug mules to carry 25-pound marijuana bundles using makeshift "backpacks" of rope and cut strips of Mexican blankets to lessen discomfort.

Det. James Peters of Scottsdale (Ariz.) PD SWAT responded to a Safeway grocery on April 23, 2006, following a multi-agency pursuit of suspect Daniel Brown, who had scuffled with a patrol officer while attempting to steal a BMW. Brown then jacked a Krispy Kreme delivery truck and led officers to the Safeway, where he crashed through the front doors and then took a senior citizen hostage with a handgun. Peters ended the threat with two well-placed shots. Read the full story of this "Shots Fired." Photos courtesy of Scottsdale PD. Warning: Gallery contains a graphic image.
Green lasers are the rage this year in weapon-mounted lights. Why? If you were to set a green laser and a red laser side by side in a dark room, you'd hardly notice the difference. The green systems really shine in daylight or moderately bright environments. Our eyes see images in a defined spectrum from near infrared to near ultraviolet. Red is at the far edge of the spectrum close to infrared. But green is right smack dab in the middle of that spectrum, which is the most efficient frequency for the human eye. Read "Lights and Lasers: It's Easy Being Green."
Having a firm grip on your semi-automatic handgun is key for several reasons, the most important of which is to avoid what's commonly called "limp wristing" the gun. When a shooter has a weak or loose grip on the gun, it usually results in the firearm not cycling properly, causing the gun to jam. A firm grip will also help you on assignments, where you need to fire from a marine platform. Read "Perfecting Your Handgun Grip" for more. Photos courtesy of Michael Rayburn.
Street gangs have become very adept at creating convincing false documents that can pass an officer's cursory inspection. Advanced computers, scanners, and color printers make detection more challenging, and traffickers often use fake birth certificates and other forgeries to obtain authentic state-issued documents. Biometric methods such as fingerprinting, retinal scans and DNA are a much more reliable way to identify suspicious people. Photos courtesy of Richard Valdemar.
Tucson PD officers responding to a suspicious-activity call of armed men in a residential alley were met with two heavily armed former marines just home from Iraq. According to the initial investigation, one marine double-crossed his buddy on a drug deal, by bringing in a third crew to rob the "hydro weed." One was a skilled markesmen with a heavy duty arsenal determined to fight, when the high-powered rifle malfunctioned. Responding officers used airborne and K-9 units to search unpaved alleys and scrub brush between the homes, where the suspects were eventually apprehended by the home invasion unit.

There are arguments for and against law enforcement officers using closed-hand punches. It can be better to avoid hitting a suspect with your bare knuckles so you don't injure your hands so you can't pull a trigger, hold a baton or continue striking with a broken hand. Here are four safer strikes—palm strike, bottom fist strike, knee strike and elbow strike—when dealing with a violent suspect. Our related article, "Safer Strikes," explains how to avoid bloodborne pathogens.
View our photos of the highlights of a collection of patches from sheriffs' departments across the country that was on display at the National Sheriffs' Association Conference in June. Orange County (Calif.) Sheriff Department's Deputy Sgt. Yvonne Shull spent 13 years collecting a patch from each of the nation's more than 3,200 sheriffs' agencies. Alaska is the only state not represented, because there are no sheriffs' agencies there. Shull's parents helped assemble sewn panels of rows of patches that covered the front and back of a 185-foot display. Click "View the Gallery" to see the individual patches.
In the south Arizona drug trade, armed home invasions usually differ from other robberies because police don't have a traditional victim or witnesses. They can be dynamic, armed confrontations in the middle of the night between drug crews looking to heist drugs and money.

AbstractThe implementation of anti-tamper (AT) technology as one vital strategy for preserving US military superiority. (Communiqué DoD 5200.1-M) In response to this need, many AT technologies have been developed including AT coatings for securing electronic components and devices. However, the use of successful AT coatings is impeded by lack of a manufacturing process that: 1.) Possesses the capacity for utilizing these technologies in a composite coating formulation; and 2.) Can be used to apply coatings to heat-sensitive electronics without adversely affecting their operation or shorten their useful life cycle. A technology and methodology is proposed for development and application of anti-tamper coating processes for substrates that differ greatly in shape, size, topography, and material type. This technological capability includes applying high temperature melting polymers and metals onto heat-sensitive electronic circuits. This technology can be used to create composite coatings of various layers and materials and can fully incorporate materials of various sizes and shapes into the coating. The Phase I research will demonstrate not only the feasibility of the technology, but will demonstrate the broad utility of the coating process. The coatings manufacturing technology, and demonstrated capabilities, will provide the missing manufacturing capability for forming advanced AT coatings.

A slight cut above other tapes released in this genre lately, Ebony Humpers 4 has the same basic plotline as most interracial tapes - Nikki Randall is without a boyfriend and wants a black man. The usual talk about what great stud black guys are ensues and beautiful, mammoth-breasted Ebony Ayes emcees the proceedings. Ebony stars in the hottest sex scene, an ample duet with Ray Victory. Great breasts! Some sloppy editing and a few overlong sex scenes slow down the pace making for an average outing in this genre. Nice box cover features Ebony.

The best runner up
Well, this thread nicely opens a theme of photo competing in general.
To me, it appears somewhat of an oxymoron, for two reasons:
Firstly, one tends to respect all kinds of judgings as if those giving their opinions in votes are equally qualified enough to be equally respected. It is never so, not even when there is a panel of respectable, learned photographic experts, since not everyone is able to be strictly and professionaly frank. Their (theme-related!) reasons may be dependent upon too many factors influencing their judgment, such as religious, social, political and deeply "personal" (which is one not-so-easily opened Pandora's box - every time!). And we're having our works judged by completely unknown authority. The best to expect is to glean a bit of "what most people like".
Second reason is partly based upon the first one, making me suspicious about equal treatment of every aspect in a photographically expressed theme other than technical: that which is measurable. The choice of themes used to express one's emotion may be wide, but there are certain rules of expression which should be common to all visual art, just as there has to be the correct application of grammar and spelling in every properly formed sentence.
Same goes for musical expression, too... there should be an underlying construction which makes it understandable, and lacking this, the music would be just so much noise.
Now, how many people in the whole "watching & voting horizon" can be said to observe that aspect? It's another unknown.
Add to this all the possible not-so-honest ways of voting, and the result will show an unknown mixture of a measure of unmeasurables. In other words, how reliable is such a result to base one's future works upon?
If one wants to express themselves "as people like", it's okay. That's how the largest percentage of the musical pieces get written, too... But that's why the real evergreens, those defying the fickle fashion of Time, did not follow that trend.
IMO, it is much more satisfying to go on taking photos in one's own way... after all, it's an activity of highly personalized expression. It is, and it should be different from other personal ways, those of other people; but for several common parts in construction which consists of those measurable elements mentioned, which makes one's personal expression readable to all.

Summer! I am a summer time girl! I like the wardrobe style of summer: light weight and colorful fabrics and casual foot ware. Other reasons: going barefoot, long and sunny days, gardening, boating and kayaking on the lake, swimming, backyard parties, drinking beers around the campfire, watching butterflies and honey bees, cool breezes, sitting on the front porch or on the yard swing at sunset and watching the lightning bugs come out.
When the cool and cold weather arrives, I cringe that I have to begin wearing bulky and thick sweaters and dress in layers. It feels restricting and suffocating. Also snow and ice removal, short days, long nights, and cold temps makes for a long, long winter season.
I must say, I do like many of the activities that occur during the autumn season, as you have pointed out. Hayrides and corn mazes are really fun! Carving jack o lanterns for Halloween and roasting the pumpkin seeds is something I enjoy.
Halloween is one of my fav holidays-I like dressing in masquerade and engage in the mystic and fantasy of my alter ego when it comes to life.
When I was a kid, an old farmer nearby had a cider press and apple trees. My brothers and I would help him collect the apples that have fallen onto the ground and help him with cider making!

Depression Support
In this article
Living with a chronic illness like depression can feel overwhelming. That's why it's important to seek depression support to help manage your mood and enjoy your life to the fullest. Whether from your spouse, your therapist, or a depression support group, you can find plenty of caring contacts available to give you much-needed support.
With the help of your depression support team, you can stay on top of your depression symptoms.

What's So Hard About Taking a Pill? People With Depression Know
Antidepressants, especially when combined with talk therapy, generally help people recover from depression. Symptoms begin to improve within weeks for the majority of people taking antidepressants. And people who take antidepressants long-term -- up to 36 months -- have a relapse rate of only 18% compared to 40% for those who do not. But if they work so well, why do so many people stop taking antidepressants within a few weeks of starting them? Or skip doses when they start to feel better? There...

Where Can I Turn for Depression Support?
Although you cannot control the fact that you may have a clinical depression, you can seek a depression support system for yourself. Getting family help with depression is a great place to start. Talk openly with people close to you -- family members, friends, and co-workers -- to help them understand your treatment and that you're doing all you can to follow your doctor's recommendations.
Also, you can find support for depression through religious organizations in your community, whether from the pastor, rabbi, or other religious leader, small groups, or caring individuals within the organizations.
What Is a Depression Support Group?
Depression support groups such as those sponsored by Mental Health America (MHA) or the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) are geared toward meeting the needs of those with depression. While depression support groups are not psychotherapy groups, they can provide you with a safe and accepting place to vent your frustrations and fears and receive comfort and encouragement from others.
In a depression support group, members often share coping suggestions that others find useful. This helps give you the assurance that "someone else knows what I am going through," as people share their struggles living with various types of depression. This camaraderie is vital in order to begin the healing process.
After joining a depression support group, you may realize that the best experts on depression are often those who live with it daily. But always check with your doctor before taking a new "suggested" remedy, including over-the-counter dietary supplements. Even natural remedies have side effects and may interact with medications.
How Do I Find an Online Depression Support Group?
Online depression support groups, such as WebMD's Depression Support Group, can provide you with encouragement from others -- even people you don't know. Online depression support groups can help you realize that you are not alone in dealing with the feelings of depression. This added support can give you new confidence as you learn to manage the illness and handle the daily challenges in a reasonable manner.
For more information, see WebMD's article on Preventing Depression.
