In catering to the luxury market, it's the little touches and the service flourishes that set a spa apart. Auberge begins to distinguish itself upon check-in, when I am asked to choose two health elixirs to be added to my post-treatment beverage. I change and settle into a chaise situated beside a roaring fireplace in the genteel lounge to await my therapist, as an attendant drapes a hot pillow around my neck. And, for a healthy twist on a decadent Southern specialty—bananas foster—I'm served banana chips soaked in rum!
Like the Inn itself, the spa exudes an elegant, yet beachy, air via its cottage-style décor. Hues consist of warm neutrals, and stunning abstract paintings provide splashes of vibrant color. A bastion of dark wood floors, wainscoting and whitewashed beam ceilings, the spa feels warm and homey in spite of its sophistication. According to Fetzner, it's not uncommon for guests to request names of specific paint shades so they can recapture Auberge's zen-yet-cozy allure at home.
Throughout my treatment experience, service continues to be spot-on—and innovative, despite its diligent respect for local tradition. Before I lie back onto the table to receive the High Cotton Scrub & Rub (90 min./$240), my therapist invites me to inhale several different herb blends while explaining the benefits of each. I settle on Wild Rice and Mulberry Leaf, partially for its singular, earthy smell, but also because the ingredients were picked on property, by my therapist, who also carefully muddles my selection into pine sea salts before performing my gentle sloughing.
Following the luxurious scrub and massage, I take in one of the spa's signature offerings, a Bath on the Bluff (30 min./$75). Like porching, it is among the most straightforward of experiences: Relax to the soundtrack of nature while soaking in a clawfoot tub on a private outdoor veranda overlooking Palmetto Bluffs' forests and lagoons. Because the staff so ardently believes in the importance of taking time for this centering ritual, each of Auberge's eight treatment rooms features a private, al fresco tub. Indeed, I float blissfully as I luxuriate in the tub and drink in the tranquil view.
"The baths are an identity trait for us," explains Fetzner. "Years ago in the South, grandmothers would heat water on a stove, for bathing in a copper tub situated on the porch. We sought to honor that tradition and celebrate outdoor bathing."
Another signature offering revolves around "Pluff Mud"—the dark, soft and nutrient-rich mud found on the banks of the nearby salt-water May River. To stay as true to the real thing as possible, the spa analyzed samples of the riverbed to create its own, trademarked Pluff Mud, which Fetzner describes as "food for the skin." Guests can opt for the Palmetto Pluff Mud Wrap (90 min./$240) or, for a particularly whimsical slice of low-country life, pairs can spring for Spa Boggin' (150 min./$395 pp).
The Spa Boggin' is inspired by the traditions of the Gullah, a local culture of indigenous people who still reside in the sea islands off of South Carolina and Georgia. One pastime dating back to the 19th century was for courting couples to go boggin,' or frolicking, in the Pluff Mud. Auberge brings the tradition alive by allowing recipients to detox together in a private pine and cypress steam room before receiving a pine sea salt exfoliation. They are then left alone with a big bucket of mud to apply to each other, play with and rinse off in a steam shower before getting back onto treatment tables for side-by-side massages, followed by Baths on the Bluff. Champagne and strawberries or oysters (seasonally) are then served to the happily soaking "boggers."
"We're really giving couples the gift of touch, and the opportunity to reconnect, with this service," says Fetzner. "It's wonderful to hear the playful laughter of adults."

SIKESTON -- Children who were born at the beginning of the millennium can't imagine life without the Internet. The term terrorist is one they're all too familiar with, and they share the same birth year as reality TV show, "Survivor."
As 2009 comes to a close, three Sikeston children who were born in 2000 -- Walker Venable, born March 2; Naz Beck, born Dec. 15; and Maddy Rice, born Dec. 28 -- took some time to discuss the decade that introduced texting, iPods and social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.

Till now i understood that first i have to use dcmpsprt to create a "
stored print objects" and pass this as a parameter to dcmpscu to get
print preview on dicom scope.
Now the problem is i m not able to create stored print objects i,e if
i execute
dcmpscu -c config.cfg c:\cr.dcm
it does nothing i mean it executed without any errors but i cant
understand where it created stored print objects .
if i use dcmpscu directly as below
dcmpscu -c config.cfg -p IHEFULL c:\cr.dcm
i am getting the message
spooler: file 'c:\cr.dcm' is not a valid Stored Print object
error: spooling of file 'c:\cr.dcm' failed.
so some one please explain me clearly(step by step) how can i create
stored print object and send as a parameter to dcmpscu.
I hope to get lot of responses.
And my config file is as below

In the second video from Scion Racing's third season of Driven to Drift, drivers Ken Gushi and Fredric Aasbo head down to Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia for Round 2 of the 2011 Formula Drift season.
To start off, we take an in-depth look at Fredric's new 2011 Need For Speed tC. Led by crew chief Stephen Papadakis, we get to see some of the unique elements of the custom-built yet surprisingly stock tC.
As for the races, Ken's momentum and excitement through the qualifying rounds was unfortunately halted by a blo wn rear differential.
Fredric also began the day strong, even throwing some near backwards entries into the first corner; however, his aggressive style led to overshooting a couple turns and eventually a loss in the early rounds.
The next round will be held at Palm Beach International Raceway, a Formula Drift first. Check back here for our coverage!

Norwich — Former ice rink manager Mia Sanca rescinded her resignation Thursday night but was asked to leave by order of the Ice Rink Authority chairman when she tried to report to work Friday morning.
Sanca and the authority chairman and vice chairwoman all signed a handwritten letter during a March 13 special meeting agreeing to the terms of Sanca's resignation: She would be paid through March 31 and would receive two weeks of vacation pay, and the authority would not contest her unemployment claim. Sanca's annual salary was $53,000, and she had no contract.
Sanca's actions on Feb. 13, when the rink's cooling system malfunctioned and caused an ammonia leak, were contributing factors in her resignation, authority Chairman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers said after the March 13 meeting. The authority's incident report said Sanca delayed calling the fire department and failed to evacuate the building after twice being ordered to do so.
Sanca's incident report contradicted that claim and included no reference to being ordered to evacuate the rink. She reported only that Desaulniers told her to call the fire department. Upon their arrival, firefighters ordered the evacuation.
Desaulniers declined to say whether the authority had asked Sanca to resign March 13. That meeting was never posted. The authority was planning to vote again to accept Sanca's resignation at Thursday's regular meeting.
But prior to the vote, Sanca's attorney, Ralph Bergman presented the authority with a letter saying that Sanca was withdrawing her resignation. Bergman said Friday her original letter of resignation was "penned under unusual and stressful circumstances, and she wishes to remain the rink manager."
The authority voted to accept the original resignation, Desaulniers said Friday, and referred Bergman's letter to city Corporation Counsel Michael Driscoll.
Desaulniers did not expect Sanca to try to resume her position Friday, but he contacted rink staff that morning to let them know what to do if she did try to return to work.
Matthew Koehler, rink maintenance and box office worker, said Desaulniers called to say that Sanca was not a rink employee and should be allowed only in "as a guest or a customer."
Koehler said Sanca arrived just as he had finished talking to Desaulniers. He called box office manager Shannon Fitzgerald, who had been put in charge of operations by the authority last week. Koehler said he kept a written log of the morning's events.
Based on instructions from Desaulniers and Fitzgerald, Koehler asked Sanca to leave at 10:49 a.m. She departed without incident two minutes later, Koehler said.
Sanca could not be reached for comment Friday.
Even before the controversy over Sanca's resignation — and before the Feb. 13 ammonia leak — the authority had planned to seek new rink management. The authority voted Jan. 31 to advertise for a new rink management firm. The authority on Thursday approved a draft request for proposals for a management firm.
Sanca, who had been assistant rink manager, was named interim rink manager last June after the sudden resignation of her husband, former manager James Sanca. The rink had experienced perennial budget deficits and had needed city subsidies. The City Council placed Desaulniers, the council president pro tempore, onto the authority to oversee a financial overhaul.
Before Feb. 13, the financial turnaround seemed successful, with a small profit expected in this year's budget. Then the rink was forced to close for a month, with temporary repairs costing $42,000 and lost revenue not yet enumerated.

Chrysler plans on eliminating either the Dodge Nitro or Jeep Liberty by 2012.
The two small SUVs are built on the same platform and have both suffered sales declines recently. Steven Landry, Chrysler's vice president in charge of North American sales, said the company would be eliminating one of the vehicles as part of Project Genesis, Chrysler's plan to reduce brand overlap.
Landry did not elaborate on which would be cut, but the odds are heavily in favor of the Nitro, which has never really gotten a foothold in the marketplace. It moved less than half the volume of the Liberty in August and is off by a staggering 71 percent from its sales during the same period last year.

where is GL_EXT_draw_buffers2?Posted Sunday, 13 June, 2010 - 01:11 by sgsrules in
You can always use FBO and it's not double-buffered.
No offense, but please don't reply if you don't know what you're talking about.
It exists in
GL.Ext. Make sure you are using OpenTK 1.0rc1.
The only caveat is that the
ExtDrawBuffers2 enum does not provide any tokens, so you will have to cast from the
All enum, i.e:
GL.Ext.EnableIndexed((ExtDrawBuffers2)All.Blend, 1);
Will the following do the same thing?
Honestly, I do not know. It looks likely, assuming this extension was promoted to core in OpenGL 3.1 or 3.2.
Yeah it look like that is indeed the case glEnableIndexedEXT got promoted to glEnablei. Opentk accesses it via an overloaded GL.Enable();
Anyhow thanks for pointing me in the right direction Fiddler.

Singapore Loses Nokia to China
By Chun Han Wong and Patrick Barta
Notch one more victory for China in the battle to lure investment from the Western world.
Finland's Nokia Corp., the world's largest mobile phone maker by volume, said it is moving its Asia-Pacific headquarters to Beijing from Singapore as part of plans to raise business efficiencies and meet savings targets.
The move is a disappointment for Singapore, which along with other Southeast Asian nations has been scrambling to hold on to (or win back) Western investment after years of rising interest in China, whose rapid growth and giant consumer market helped it eclipse the one-time "tiger" economies of Southeast Asia over the past decade. More recently, many analysts have argued Southeast Asia is starting to look more attractive again as disenchantment with China spreads due to rising costs, intellectual property violations, and other problems there, along with rising incomes in Southeast Asia.
Google, for instance, unveiled plans to open new offices in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok last year, and a number of giant automakers including Suzuki Motor Corp. have recently announced plans to expand in Indonesia.
But at the end of the day, it's hard to beat China, whose costs are still a lot lower than places like Singapore, and whose expanding consumer market dwarfs the smaller countries of Southeast Asia.
In Nokia's case, the move to Beijing makes all the more sense considering that the phone maker is targeting China to drive much of its future growth. Central to that strategy is a partnership with Microsoft Corp. to offer Windows-based phones in China this year. Nokia has seen its market share plummet in recent years on rising competition from Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Google Inc.'s Android operating platform, and last year it announced restructuring plans that involved cutting more than 10,000 jobs in manufacturing, and research and development.
The move is "part of our strategy to adapt our operations to the business environment to ensure our competitiveness. This includes an increasing focus on assembly in Asia, close to our suppliers," a Nokia spokesman said Wednesday in an emailed response to queries from Dow Jones Newswires.
Nokia is currently implementing the move. The spokesman declined to specify how many employees would be affected by the move, what types of positions are being shifted, or if any jobs would be cut.
The company will continue operations at its Singapore office, the spokesman added.

Palestinian militant groups vow "painful" retaliation against Israel following Jenin killings
Three Palestinian militant groups on Saturday vowed to retaliate against Israel after its army killed three militants in Jenin refugee camp overnight.
In a joint statement, Hamas' military wing al-Qassam Brigades, Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades threatened a "painful" retaliation against Israel.
The statement also accused the Palestinian Authority of complicity in the killings.
Three Palestinian militants were killed and several others were injured early Saturday during clashes with Israeli troops who raided Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, Palestinian security sources said.
The three were identified as Hamza Abu al-Haija, a 22-year-old leader of al-Qassam Brigades, Mahmoud Abu Zeina, a 17-year-old member of al-Quds Brigades, and 22-year-old Yazan Mahmoud Basim Jabarin of al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.
An earlier Hamas statement said that PA security services had summoned and detained al-Haija several times before.
A spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas denounced the killings, describing them as part of "systematic Israeli policy aimed at destroying everything."
Nabil Abu Rdeina said that Israel escalated its "attacks against citizens." He urged the US administration to take action before peace talks collapsed.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a major group of enzymes that regulate cell-matrix composition. MMP genes show a highly conserved modular structure. Ample evidence exists on the role of MMPs in normal and pathological processes, including embryogenesis, wound healing, inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and cancer. The expression patterns of MMPs have interesting implications for the use of MMP inhibitors as therapeutic agents. Insights might be gained as to the preference for a general MMP inhibitor as opposed to an inhibitor designed to be specific for certain MMP family members as it relates to a defined disease state, and may give clues to potential side effects. The signalling pathways that lead to induction of expression of MMPs are still incompletely understood, but certain patterns are beginning to emerge. Regarding inhibition of MMP expression at the level of kinase pathways, it is possible that selective chemical inhibitors for distinct signalling pathways (e.g. MAPK, PKC) will hopefully, soon be available for initial clinical trials. Overexpression of selective dual specificity MAPK phosphatases have been shown to prevent MMP promoter activation which could also be used as a novel strategy to prevent activation of AP-1 and ETS transcription factors and MMP promoters in vivo. Interactions between members of different transcription factors provide fine-tuning of the transcriptional regulation of MMP promoter activity. MMPs play a crucial role in tumor invasion. Although the expression of MMPs in malignancies has been studied widely, the specific role of distinct MMPs in the progression of cancer may be more complex than has been assumed. For example, it has recently been shown that MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9 and MMP-12 can generate angiostatin from plasminogen, indicating that their expression in peritumoral area may in fact serve to limit angiogenesis and thereby inhibit tumor growth and invasion. The recent view about the role of stromal cells in the progression of cancer cell growth and metastasis is particularly interesting, and additional studies about the regulation of MMP gene expression and activity in malignancies are needed to understand the role and regulation of MMPs in tumor cell invasion.

DarkOceans Loved this sooooo much! You're great at writing!!! I <3 your stories :P
@mark thank you again. The art inspired me on this one and I collected together some of the images yesterday. Then I spent about an hour putting in bits of text that jumped into my head. Then I left the story to 'stew' in my head for a few hours.
When I come back to it, I find it usually comes together and the page order gels to make the story flow. So all told I would say I spent two and a half hours on this one......but they're all different.

The ADT plugin Android Development Tools gives a New Project Wizard that can help to create a new Android project.
Creating new project in Android using project wizard:
1: Select File > New > Project.
2: Select Android > Android Project, and click Next.
Figure 1: Creating Android Project
3: Select the contents for the project in next window:
Figure 2: Choosing locate
This will be the name of the folder where your project is created in your workspace.
Figure 3: Choosing SDK to target
The Build Target specifies which Android platform you'd like your application built against. Unless you know that you'll be using new APIs introduced in the latest SDK, you should select a target with the lowest platform version possible.
Note: You can change your the Build Target for your project at any time: Right-click the project in the Package Explorer, select Properties, select Android and then check the desired Project Target.
Figure 4: Application Info
4. Click Finish. New Project is created completely now.
Tip: You can also start the New Project Wizard from the New icon in the toolbar.
Once you complete the New Project Wizard, ADT creates the following folders and files in your new project automatically:
Figure 5: Project folders
The creation of the new project using Project Wizard is finished.
If you're starting a new project, use the android create project command to generate all the necessary files and folders.
To create a new Android project, open a command-line, navigate to the tools/ directory of your SDK and run:
Listing 1: Creating the new Android Project
android create project --target <target_ID> --name <your_project_name> --path path/to/your/project --activity <your_activity_name> --package <your_package_namespace>
Listing 2: Here's an example of the Android project
android create project --target 1 --name MyAndroidApp --path ./MyAndroidAppProject --activity MyAndroidAppActivity --package com.example.myandroid
The tool generates the following files and directories:
Once you've created your project, you're ready to begin development. You can move your project folder wherever you want for development, but keep in mind that you must use the Android Debug Bridge (adb) — located in the SDK tools/ directory - to send your application to the emulator. So you need access between your project solution and the tools/ folder.
An Android Virtual Device (AVD) is a device configuration for the emulator that allows you to model real world devices. In order to run an instance of the emulator, you must create an AVD.
Give it a name, a platform target, an SD card size, and a skin (HVGA is default).
Note: Be sure to define a target for your AVD that satisfies your application's Build Target (the AVD platform target must have an API Level equal to or greater than the API Level that your application compiles against).
Running your application from Eclipse will usually require just a couple clicks, whether you're running it on the emulator or on an attached Android Phone device.
The information below describes how to get set up and run your application from Eclipse.
Before you can run your application on the Android Emulator, you must create an AVD.
To run (or debug) your application, select Run > Run (or Run > Debug) from the Eclipse menu bar.
The ADT plugin will automatically create a default launch configuration for the project.
Eclipse will then perform the following:
If debugging, the application will start in the "Waiting For Debugger" mode.
Once the debugger is attached, Eclipse will open the Debug perspective.

FEB 12, 2013 - The Week
A Must Read - Share
The theocratic regime in Iran earned global mockery last year when its state news agency fell for an article by the satirical newspaper The Onion, which claimed that a vast majority of rural whites in the U.S. would rather have a beer with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than President Obama. It turns out, however, that apparatchiks in the Iranian press are not the only ones to have mistaken parody for hard news. The Washington Post today published a blog post by Suzi Parker that claimed Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate, had joined the Qatari-based news channel

Polyester over pearl snaps, bell bottoms over belt buckles. That was the theme of last night's (Feb. 27) That 70s Showcase hosted by Warner Music Nashville during country music's annual Country Radio Seminar.
And while many of the label's artists embraced the company's mandate to perform a tune from that particular era, a couple of them, including Blake Shelton, had to use crib notes or an iPhone to get the lyrics right! In fact, it's uncertain what was a bigger surprise—wife Miranda Lambert performing Blake's newest hit, "Sure Be Cool If You Did," with him or his impressive version of Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music."
Several of Blake's Warner Bros. labelmates were also on hand to perform their current hits and to resurrect a track from an era of music known for disco, pop and funk. In addition to his current Top 10 single, "Somebody's Heartbreak," Hunter Hayes also nailed a rousing rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." But it was Charlie Worsham who stole the show when his special guest, Hall and Oates' John Oates, joined him for a performance of the duo's "Rich Girl."
Country Radio Seminar continues with more panels, concerts and showcases tonight in Nashville.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Poison Ivy, Oak, or Sumac: Barrier Lotions and Creams
If you know you will be working around
poison ivy, oak, or sumac, you may think about using a
barrier cream or lotion. This will help prevent the plant oil (urushiol) from
contacting your skin and causing a rash (allergic
contact dermatitis).
Products containing bentoquatam, such as IvyBlock, may help prevent the rash.
These products should not be used on children younger than age
6 or by anyone who already has a rash from the poison ivy, oak, or sumac
plants. You can get these products without a prescription.
Barrier creams and lotions do not completely protect against getting a poison ivy rash.

Sanjay is apparently on the lookout for a nice and interesting script that would live up to the expectations of the 'aam janta'. Sanjay Dutt has made it clear that the film will see both of them bond together and will either be a comedy or a romantic movie.

MARIETTA - The Washington County Fairgrounds were packed during Sunday's 29th annual Broughton Ice Cream Social, with hundreds of ice cream lovers showing up for this year's event that benefits the Right Path for Washington County and 11 area food pantries.
The social was originally scheduled for July 8, but organizers decided to postpone the festivities after the June 29 wind storm left thousands of area residents without power in record heat for several days.
"The change of date may have hurt us a little, but there were a large number of people who had no power for days, and people from our company were struggling as well," said Dave Broughton, general manager of Broughton Foods in Marietta.

Nate Ketchum, 6, of Marietta, checks out bowls of chocolate moose tracks at the Broughton Ice Cream Social.
In spite of the change, he estimated Sunday's turnout was still on a par with previous years.
"Our pre-sold tickets help make this event a success, but it's a perfect Sunday and we've had pretty good attendance," Broughton said, adding it will take three or four days before the total proceeds will be known.
"But we would consider $20,000 a pretty good year," he said.
Those attending this year's social could enjoy as much ice cream as they could eat. Broughton said flavors included chocolate moose track, cherry nut, and birthday cake, in addition to good old chocolate and vanilla.
Joey Sinnett, of Marietta, knew why he was there.
"The ice cream," he said. "The birthday cake and cherry nut are my favorites - but birthday cake is the best."
Judy McAtee, of Marietta, agreed.
"The root beer floats are good, too," she said. "And I think those people who didn't have power after the storm appreciate that the social was held until now. It was a hard time for them."
Right Path coordinator Cathy Harper was excited to see so many people turn out for Sunday's event.
"It's going great. We've had a good steady crowd all day," she said. "I'm really happy with the community turnout and with the number of volunteers who have come out to help. Many of the youths who come to our Saturday night dances and pool parties have been working here today, too."
The Right Path's mission is to encourage and engage young people in service opportunities to help them connect and feel part of their community.
Harper said this year's proceeds are being shared with 10 community food pantries and Harvest of Hope.
Candy Waite, who operates the Gospel Mission Pantry at the Harmar Community Center, said the funding help is appreciated.
"There are a lot of people in need, and this is going to help all of the area pantries," she said. "We provide food for anyone in need, and this will be such a blessing. I think this community loves to give, and this is a gift that will keep on giving."
In addition to the ice cream treats, Sunday's social included musical entertainment provided by The Faculty, South of the River Band, Joe Williams and Deep River and The Moon Band.

The British yachtsman Roger Pratt was killed in a bungled robbery by a group of young men who crept on to his boat unarmed and departed empty-handed, police in St Lucia said yesterday.
Giving the fullest account yet of the murder, Phillip Francois, commissioner of the Royal St Lucia Police Force, said detectives were not looking for a murder weapon and did not believe the men had stolen anything from the yacht that lay at anchor off Vieux Fort on the southern tip of the island.
In an interview at police headquarters in Castries, the capital, Mr Francois said: "It

Hi Booter, I really thought it was starting last night, I was getting loads of pains, and my partner even stayed off work this morning because i didnt feel right at all. But then, yes, you've guessed it, NOTHING!! I'm still waiting!!
Baby is very very quiet today, has only moved once, i'm a bit worried, i'm going to wait a couple of hours, and if still nothing, might have a trip to the hospital to get checked! x
How u feeling??

Sounds like it's iminent now Petralou. I've been told that women often don't feel right just before labor. Your right to get things checked out but apparantly babies sometimes slow down before labor but it would probably ease your mind if you had the fetal monitor on for 20 mins or so, it helped me a couple of weeks back. Any other symptoms? Sometimes the body will 'clear itself out' so to speak, just before labor?
I'm fine. Had a rough night aswell though. Baby was moving around like a mad person so I changed position a few times to see if he'd settle and he didn't. Then I woke up in the night with a pain at the top of my uterus, that happened 3 times but didn't last long. Then I kept getting the low cramps. I stayed awake for a good while worrying and finally fell asleep again. Have had the odd cramp today but nothing progressive.

Yes i've heard the same! I hope you're right. My sister in law thinks i might be in slow labour as have been having pains for well over a week now.
yes, i've 'cleared out' today, so to speak! LOL.
The baby moved a little whilst I was in the bath, but usually, its like a gymnast!! I think if its not moving like it usually does later on this afternoon, and there is no labour, then I'm going to give the hospital a ring...
It sounds like you're going to be soon yourself!! Fingers crossed yours will happen when its supposed to!! xx

Three Reasons a United-U.S. Air Deal Could Happen This Time
In the past 12 years, United has made three different merger attempts (America West in 1998 and U.S. Airways in 2000 and 2008); none came to fruition.
Its latest dalliance with U.S. Airways could be the charm. Here are three reasons why this merger could actually work.
1) In a sign of just how far the airline industry has declined, a combined United-U.S. Air would have 23% fewer employees and 28% fewer flights than United did as a stand alone company in 2000–when antitrust regulators challenged a tie-up between the two airlines, according to analysis of a potential deal today from J.P. Morgan Chase analyst Jamie Baker. Regulators also may view a deal more favorably this time around because both carriers have lost considerable market share to such discount carriers as JetBlue and Southwest Airlines.
2) United and U.S. Airways might not need the kind of costly and complex waivers from its labor unions that Delta Air Lines had to obtain from its pilots in order to acquire Northwest Airlines. United pilots earn on average $137 an hour, while U.S. Airways pilots average $125 an hour, according to Airline Pilot Central. (The highest average hourly rate, at $206 an hour, goes to the pilots at discounter Southwest Air.)
3) The timing could be right to raise money for the combined company. The recession is subsiding, peak oil fears are waning and both United and U.S. Airways have reported recent revenue growth. That could help convince lenders that a deal makes sense. Even if the deal ends up being an all-stock transaction as the Journal reports it is likely to be, the new company may need financing for operations. "The rally in high yield credit spreads overall, the fact that aircraft lessors like ILFC (AIG's airplane leasing company) have taken huge steps back from potential insolvency, and the rally in the airline capital stacks across all debt products and equity support a view that a combined UAUA-LCC could raise incremental capital successfully,'' writes JP Morgan's Baker.

A cut above; Wings are A-mazing
Friday, 09.11.2009 / 11:20 AM ET / News
By Michael Caples - Detroit Red Wings Staff Writer
|Located in Belleville, Mich., about a 30-minute drive west of Detroit, Norman DeBuck's cornfield has been cut into a Red Wings' maze.
But it's safe to say that a farm in southeastern Michigan has done something with the Wings' logo that hasn't been done before.
The Winged Wheel is now the subject of a corn maze.
Norman DeBuck, owner and founder of the New Lawn Sod Farm in Belleville, said that while the state's poor economy interferes with business, he and his two sons began brainstorming ideas to keep the family company afloat.
"The sod business is just … it's been dying lately," DeBuck said. "So we had to find something else, and we know the agro tourist business has been pretty good, and my son mentioned we should look into doing a Halloween thing or a maze."
And so the idea of a corn maze was born. DeBuck, 48, and his son attended a convention in St. Louis in March where they met Shawn Stolworthy, an Idaho farmer, who now travels the country every summer building corn mazes (to see his work, check out www.mazeplay.com).
Stolworthy was in Belleville a few weeks ago, and had the project completed in a day.
"To make the maze, he spent about six hours, with a tractor and a roto-tiller and a GPS system," DeBuck said. "That's how they cut it in, they do a grid on it, then they go out there with a tractor and the roto-tiller, and go out and cut down the paths."
The New Lawn Sod Farm is ready for Wings' fans to come check out their new maze. Hockey and maze enthusiasts alike can run through the Red Wings' logo and two players, with corn-stalk walls that stand eight-feet tall.
"The more difficult side of it, which would take you in the Red Wings' emblem and the hockey player on the left, it takes about 45-minutes to go from one check point to another and through the whole thing," DeBuck said. "There's three different mazes, so there's three entrances and three exits, there's only one way in and one way out. But once inside, there's different paths you can take."
Debuck said going with the Red Wings was an easy choice, because of his lifelong alliances. The two players used for the corn maze are generic, but if DeBuck could have picked, he would have chosen hall-of-fame inductee Steve Yzerman and goalie Chris Osgood.
"We were either going to go with the Wings or the Detroit Tigers," DeBuck said. "We wanted to stick with a home team, and we wanted the Red Wings because it's a fall sport, a fall activity."
The corn maze is not the only tourist attraction at New Lawn Sod Farm. DeBuck said that there are plenty of things for the family to do.
"We have corn cannons, we have a little carnival area for the kids. We have a corn box, which is like a sand box with shelled corn in it, and the kids just love that. We have several piles of sand, kids love playing in the sand."
New Lawn Sod Farm is open to the public from 6-10 p.m. on Fridays; 1-10 p.m. on Saturdays; and 12-7 p.m. on Sundays. They also host private events throughout the week for school groups. To get more information, check out www.newlawnsodfarm.com.

Fishing Cat Enrichment
Native to South and Southeast Asia, fishing cats are amazing animals that actually go head first into a stream or pond to catch fish and other aquatic prey. At the National Zoo, keepers offer our two fishing cats goldfish from time to time.
This stimulates their natural behavior and maintains their hunting prowess. Watch a video.
A fishing cat eyes the goldfish swimming by, waiting for the best moment to pounce.
The cat dives head-first to snare a fish.
Resting on a full stomach.
Fishing cats fish for fish and other aquatic animals,
and this behavior is amazing to watch. A brook will run
through the habitat, with several pools where the cats can
dive in
to catch prey. A successful hunt will end with the wet
cat retreating to eat its catch, usually to the applause
of visitors.

Why do an internship far away when you can have one near your school?
Patrick Henry Community College teamed with two businesses to offer summer internships for Information Technology students.
It's a plan from Bassett Furniture and Bassett Office Supply to let students know they don't have to go far for a job.
It's also the first time the school has paired with local companies for internships in the IT field.

3D Robotics is thrilled to introduce the Follow Me feature, the latest adventure in autonomous flight. Follow Me mode allows you to be your own one-man aerial film crew: Capture yourself in action, with all the freedom of spontaneity and zero pre-planning, even when there's no one around to helm the sticks for you. Just select "Follow" in DroidPlanner, strap on your Android phone or throw your tablet in your backpack, and your drone will follow wherever you go—and keep the camera trained on you the whole time! Place your Android device on another vehicle—say a car, boat, or rover—and Follow Me tracks that for you, too.
Best of all, it's totally free from 3D Robotics, and it's available today. You just need the beta of the new DroidPlanner 2.0 (free here) and the latest release candidate (3.2 RC 2) version of Arducopter (free here).*
To get the beta of DroidPlanner, please follow these instructions:
To get the latest release candidate of Arducopter, select "Beta software" from the firmware upload screen of Mission Planner or APM Planner.
Both of these will be coming out of beta in a few weeks (after the Sparkfun AVC), so if you'd rather not be using beta software, just sit tight and it will automatically come to you with the next public update.
Follow Me frees you to be yourself, by yourself. Happy flying!
*Please note that as advised in the warning notice in Mission Planner and APM-Planner 2, Beta versions and release candidates are by definition unstable and should only be used by expert operators and only to help the developers test the code during the pre-release test cycle in direct coordination with the developers. In those versions, bugs are very likely to be present and the operator should be aware of a significantly higher operational risk and choose location and operation modes for flights accordingly, as well as be prepared for the possibility of undesired behavior of the aircraft and even a catastrophic failure.

Awesome. Is this compatible with all versions of APM hardware?
Yep! APM 2.x, Pixhawk, even the clones ;-)
I played around with follow me mode on APM 2.91 DroidPlanner 1, with unsafe results. Has the functionality been updated since then? If so, would you be able to provide some details?
Following the trail from the release notes leads to Arthur posting this a couple of weeks back:
arthurbenemann commented 14 days ago
@ne0fhyk Workable, but it still needs a better UI. Also I need to add a check for ArduCopter3.2 or higher, because without AC3,2 it can be destructive to use follow-me.
It's an awesome feature, but I want to make sure I understand the technical limitations before trying it again.
Guy, yes, the feature has been totally reworked in Arducopter 3.2 and DroidPlanner 2. That's why we releasing it now, after much development and testing.
Along with checking to make sure that there isn't any "mode fighting" between RC and phone for control of the copter, the new DroidPlanner uses a "leash" algorithm to smooth the path, and the Arducopter 3.2 software now controls the camera to keep it on the object of interest, too.
F1P: Yep. Optical object tracking is on its way and coming after AVC. (We're using similar tech to spot and hit the red balloons as part of the competition)
wOw! Great feature! Now become actual gimbal development w ability visal object tracking (OCV implementation t.e.)
Awesome work!
Does he lock the case with the props sticking out ;)
I've been waiting for this for some time now so I'm very excited by this announcement. Thanks so much to those who provided it. I don't suppose by chance my request to have the ability to add offsets to the following distance made it in to the release. I want to follow some rowers on a lake but I don't want it directly overhead. I'd like to be able to program it to have an offset in direction rather than just overhead. Is that possible? Also, this sounds like something new. Is it an improvement over 'Guided' mode? Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
Yes, adjustable length offsets are in the official release. The next release (a few weeks) will have arbitrary offsets, which is exactly what you want.
Great, thanks for the info Chris. I look forward to testing this out soon.

François Nars is among the most influential image-makers in the world. His unconventional philosophy of beauty celebrates an independent spirit, originality and fearless self-expression. Growing up in the South of France, François' interest in fashion was fostered by his glamorous mother—a natural beauty who exuded effortless style and elegance. He attended the famed Carita Makeup School in Paris where he first formed his approach that makeup could be used to explore the depths and nuances of individual character.
François' rapid ascent into the fashion world reflected talent, hard work, and uncommon vision. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace admired his ability to create iconic looks, both highly theatrical and ultra-natural, that engaged in compelling dialogue with their designs. François' signature approach to image-making is exemplified by his close collaboration with Madonna in the '90s during which he helped forge the star's perpetual reinvention.
When François launched NARS with
a debut of 12 highly-pigmented lipsticks at Barney's New York, the brand gained
an immediate cult following. François closely guides the evolution of the
NARS brand -- from the ever-expanding collection of richly pigmented color cosmetics,
a complete skincare line, artistry tools, to the NARS' campaigns, each of which
he photographs himself. While his photographs are elevated, modern, and
classically beautiful, his embrace of unique faces and ethnic diversity has
helped transform industry standards and traditional definitions of
beauty. To date, François has published four books of his

Artist Francesca Woodman killed herself in 1981 at the age of 22. Her haunting photographs—many of herself, nude, evocatively seen fragmented or disappearing into backgrounds—constitute the central visual landscape of this profound and plaintive documentary that addresses, among other things, "the psychic risk of being an artist," as Francesa's father, painter George Woodman, puts it. This relates not only to his daughter, but also to him and to his wife, ceramicist Betty Woodman, whose painful loss, in a tragic irony, is so deeply connected to the creative lives they hold dear.

Review Details
Klean Kanteen Sippy Cups (12 oz)Product Rating: Product Review (submitted on January 1, 2011):
This was the first sippy cup my daughter used at 6 months. She got the hang of the sippy spout fairly fast but it is a bit heavy so she needs us to help her but now at 9 months she can hold it if she is in a slight declined position. Handles would be a nice addition but without them she is learning to hold on just fine the older she gets. This would be perfect for a baby 12 months and older.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
