DIVE TRIBE- Divers working together To Protect & Preserve our Marine Environment
Dive Tribe is specializing in the field of marine and land conservation.

Since our inception, Dive Tribe has grown with a small team of scientists and industry experts. We are actively working towards the protection and preservation of the natural resources of Thailand, as well as promoting conservation and sustainable tourism practices.
Dive Tribe's mandate is the protection and conservation of the terrestrial and marine ecology of Thailand's oceans. This includes the underwater bio-network of coral reefs and the sensitive land ecosystems of the Thailand's coastline. At Dive Tribe's core is a no compromise attitude for the future.

Pretty and I drove up the road yesterday to the Upstate of South Carolina which marks the beginning of the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and has the same rolling hills and feel of Grimes County, Texas to me. We went to visit her family and to eat lunch at an old fish camp restaurant on Lake Bowen. We drove the Dodge Dakota and took Spike with us on this day trip adventure. He was not amused with Pretty's high-speed driving and her backing up every few minutes for my picture-taking. On the way home to Columbia we drove down SC Hwy 215 which is a favorite of ours but one we'd never started on from this far north near Spartanburg. We drove through the little town of Buffalo which is in Union County and five miles from the Union city limits. We were both moved by the sight of the cotton mill town that was almost a ghost town these days.
Unsuspecting Spike early yesterday morning in the back yard
First stop for lunch with Pretty's family at Lake Bowen fish camp
Next stop: Pretty hits antique stores in Landrum, SC
(They don't have Pretty's picture yet, but coming soon)
Main Street in Landrum – Amish furniture makers
All small towns are on railroad tracks – southern ones have crape myrtle trees
No reason to stop in Campobello – only antique store closed
Pretty at her old after-school hangout in Inman, SC
Cotton mill ruins in Buffalo, South Carolina
Rubbles of a historic past
Once a symbol of prosperity for its mill workers
The mill was the heart of Buffalo
Efforts to restore downtown
Lost in thought and back in time
Broken dreams
Mill village houses still occupied today

STOCKTON - Officers responded quickly to a report of a home invasion robbery and captured two suspects in the act Friday morning in northeast Stockton, police said.
At 8:23 a.m., dispatchers received a report of a robbery in progress at a home on Jayden Way, west of Holman Road and north of East March Lane, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. Two women, ages 20 and 52, were home with two infants when one man rang the doorbell, police said. When one of the victims answered the door, the robbers forced their way inside, brandished a handgun and demanded money and gold, officers said.
As officers arrived, they saw one man coming out of the house and took him into custody, Silva said. A second robber retreated into the house, dropped a 9 mm handgun inside, escaped out of the back of the residence and fled into the neighborhood, Silva said. With the assistance of a police dog, officers located the man hiding in a garbage can nearby and took him into custody, Silva said.
Police recovered the stolen property and returned it to the victims, who were not injured, officers said. Usman Khan, 20, was arrested on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy, police said. Gabriel Uribe, 20, who was treated for dog bites, was arrested on suspicion of robbery, conspiracy and resisting arrest, authorities said.

text: 7 Best Diaper Bags for Travel Hilary Zalon Petunia Pickle Bottom: Wistful Weekender 1 of 7 Share Available in a number of beautiful organic cotton designs, this bag is one you'll keep using long after Baby is out of diapers. Lightweight and roomy, it allows you to stuff a few extra items in at the last minute. Just undo the bag's side snaps to expand its capacity! DwellStudio: Weekender 2 of 7 Share This travel bag has room for both baby's clothes and all his diapering gear. Multiple interior pockets keep it from becoming a virtual black hole, while exterior pockets in the easy-to-clean canvas exterior make grabbing essentials a snap. Okkatots: Travel Baby Depot Bag 3 of 7 Share This multi-functional backpack can stand open on a counter or hang open from the included hook. With a full "diaper station" area that holds 16 (!) diapers, removable wipes holder, changing pad, insulated pockets for bottles, and a laundry bag to separate the wet items from the dry, there's nothing this bag can't carry. DwellStudio: Tote 4 of 7 Share This transportation-themed tote is ready to join in your travels. First of all, it's already got the right attitude. Second, its easy access opening makes everything within arms reach. The wipeable canvas exterior makes in-transit spills a cinch to clean quickly, and its multiple interior pockets keep things organized. MiaBossi: Tobey 5 of 7 Share When there's no room to even put down a diaper bag (hello airplane bathrooms), the Tobey, worn around your waist, comes to the rescue. With your hands free, you can easily grab your necessities and get to business. Wipes? Tada! Grab it from the wipes pouch. Baby fussing? Shazam! Reach down for his bottle from the belt's bottle pouch. 5 hours left on the flight? Bummer, there's no pouch for that. Skip*Hop: Pronto 6 of 7 Share The Skip*Hop Pronto is your best friend anywhere you'll have limited space. In the size of a small clutch, the Pronto has room for its own changing pad and wipes case, along with a number of diapers and cream. You'll still find room for any other items that are part of your diapering routine, and a handy outer zippered pocket can hold a slim wallet or anything else that you'd rather not leave at your seat. Sugarbooger Organizing Pouches 7 of 7 Share If you really, really love the diaper bag you already have, there's no need for a separate bag for traveling. You can easily convert any diaper bag into an organized traveling companion with Sugarbooger's cotton and mesh pouches. Keep dirty items separated from clean ones, and your essentials separated from all those diapers. And then when you reach your destination, you can throw those handy pouches in the washing machine.

Lady Gaga is godmother of Sir Elton John's son
"Yes, (Gaga is the godmother). When you get to the real person underneath, there's a very simple New York girl who loves her parents. I love her to death and a lot of people said, 'Oh that's crazy.' But they don't know her, and we do," Sir Elton John told in an interview with U.S. news show 20/20.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga"s latest album 'Born This Way" has been hit controversies. The song "Judas", which has hit the airwaves, has been criticized by the Catholic community for portraying Mary Magdalene in a bad light.

With the release of a major climate science report by the United Nations coming this week, the self-proclaimed climate "skeptics," better referred to as the climate deniers or flat-earthers, are kicking it into high gear for their fossil fuel clients and right wing ringleaders.
The likes of Tom Harris, better known for his lobbying work on behalf of the Canadian energy industry, and Fred Singer, formally a tobacco company expert-for-hire, are trying to make headlines again claiming that the warming of our planet has significantly slowed down. As Harris, a man with absolutely no scientific background in climate change, reassures us like a bunch of schoolchildren, "don't be scared."
I wish it were the case that the rate of global warming has significantly slowed and that we don't have to "be scared" of more extreme weather events, droughts and flooding.
But according to the scientific community, the experts who have decades of training in the field of atmospheric and climactic study, our planet continues to warm. In fact, we just came through the hottest decade ever recorded. Not only was it the hottest decade recorded, it has occurred despite the presence of major cooling factors, like La Nina's and reduced solar activity. Such events should result in a significant dip in the earth's temperature, but they are only having a relatively slight cooling effect.
Not good. And not at all what the flat earth society is trying to tell you.

If you're interested in how misinformation makes its way into the public dialogue on important issues like war in the Middle East or climate change, then you should get to know David Rose, a "special investigations writer" for the UK's ultra-conservative Mail on Sunday tabloid.
Rose is making headlines this week for all the wrong reasons. But his path to this latest controvery started many years ago.
A 2010 article by Guardian columnist George Monbiot sums up the history of Rose's many errors, where the "special investigations writer" first gets it wrong on the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and goes on to get it wrong on the consensus of the science on climate change. As Monbiot tells us, in Rose's previous stint at the Observer, Rose wrote:
"… uncritically the claims made by Ahmed Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress about Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the second invasion of Iraq."
We all know the outcome of that fiasco. Over $1 trillion spent, thousands of lives lost, all based on an attempt to create a reality that just simply wasn't so. Rose wasn't the only journalist to get it wrong on the false claims of WMD, but you would think that after such a thing, with such devastating consequences, he might gain better skills in critical thinking.

Since when is zoologist Matt Ridley an expert on climate change science?
Yes, I get it. The state of science versus opinion is at an all-time low in human history, with perhaps the Dark Ages the only exception.
There is currently a "debate" being led by Matt Ridley (you can read all about Ridley's complete lack of credentials in the field of climate science here) brewing in the right wing press about a possible "subtle drop" in the low end prediction of how fast global warming is occurring. Ridley's quibbling comes, not coincidentally, less than two weeks before the release of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a favorite whipping post of the climate denier echo chamber.
Ridley and his pals at the Global Warming Policy Foundation have taken to the airwaves and the right-wing tabloids ahead of the official IPCC release date to try and pre-emptively discredit the IPCC's conclusions. It is a classic political move to get out first and fast before your opponents have a chance to tell their side of the story.
What they want to do (again) is create the appearance of controversy and debate to generate headlines and the perception that climate change science is not as solid as scientists say it is. Doubt is their product.
Hopefully the mainstream media will look past the thin veneer of credibility of Matt Ridley and the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and instead speak to actual climate scientists instead of an expert on animals. The issue of climate change and the state of the science is too important to leave to rookies.

New scientific analysis released today on the impacts of the aviation industry on our climate should give pause to government and industry leaders.
The report, produced by the Manchester Metropolitan University's Centre for Air Transport and Environment, titled "Mitigating future aviation CO2 emissions – timing is everything" finds that a new market-based carbon trading system for the airline industry cannot be delayed any longer.
This new analysis comes at a very crucial moment, as the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) meets this September to decide on whether to delay a market-based trading system (again) or begin implementation as soon as possible. If a decision to implement is not reached at the ICAO meetings in September, the next opportunity for a decision will not be until 2016 at the next general ICAO assembly.

It needs to be said from the start that that 24x zoom lens can be a mixed blessing.
In terms of optical performance, we were impressed. For the money there is minimal distortion and the DMC-FZ45 delivers sharp and punchy images from the box. The biggest problem, along with most fixed-lens super zoom cameras, is shake.
See full-res imageANTI-SHAKE: In decent light, the built-anti shake really helps keep things steady at full 24x zoom
To get the most from the impressive telephoto reach of this lens you must use a tripod, or at the very least select a fast shutter speed/higher ISO setting. As mentioned, the DMC-FZ45 is quite a light camera, so even braced against a wall, keeping that lens steady while shooting handheld would challenge an SAS sniper.
See full-res imageLOW LIGHT: But in trickier light, it struggles to beat camera shake – you'll need to get a tripod to get the most from this camera
And you absolutely must turn on the lens stabilization. For some reason this sensor-shift system is not turned on by default, which is really annoying.
The anti-shake system works well enough when you do turn it on, though we found we needed to activate the most powerful mode when shooting in low light at the full 24x zoom. A far better solution is to get a tripod and cable release (to be fair to Panasonic, it's wise to use a tripod when shooting with a long lens on a similarly priced interchangeable lens camera, too).
See full-res imageLENS: The quality f/2.8 lens and long zoom makes it easy to blur background
Otherwise, image performance is impressive. The large sensor and image processor deliver well exposed and colourful images and the metering system is flexible and intelligent.
We noticed the overhauled AF is faster too, though the maximum burst rate of this camera isn't as good as some of its competitors.
See full-res imageCOLOURS: Colours are rich and pleasing without being overblown or garish
Noise is pretty well controlled on the DMC-FZ45 (see ISO tests). Things start to get smudgy and smeary at ISO 800 but images are impressively clean below that. The DMC-FZ45 is also good for close-ups. The Macro enables you to focus on a flower, for example, that's just one centimetre away (remember to retract the lens to wide-angle mode though).
See full-res imageSHARPNESS: Lens performance is good for the money with minimal distortion
The much-vaunted Intelligent Resolution feature uses smart image processing technology and digital zoom to beef up the resolution of standard shots. As with so many of these clever widgets, we couldn't see a huge improvement, so if you want maximum detail and resolution from your shots, shoot in RAW.
See full-res imageMETERING: The smart metering system copes well with a variety of challenging light conditions though it's blown out some highlights here…

PORTLAND, Ore. — Public school students in Oregon have turned in the worst performance on the SAT's math section of any class in the past 12 years, suggesting to some that students are getting decent grades in geometry and their first year of algebra but not mastering the material.
Test results released Wednesday show the average math score of 517, a four-point drop from the previous year and a 12-point plunge from a peak score of 529 for the class of 2006.
More than 15,700 public school students in Oregon's class of 2013 took the SAT, representing 45 percent of graduates, down a hair from the 46 percent tested in the class of 2012, The Oregonian reported. An additional 2,000 Oregon students from private schools took the college-entrance exam.
In writing, the average Oregon score was flat, while the average reading score dropped 2 points, to its 2011 level.
Oregon's math results still beat the national average, noted Crystal Greene, communications director for the Oregon Department of Education.
Oregon's public school average remains far above the national public school average, which fell to 503 this year. But the average is only narrowly above the national average for all SAT-takers, 514.
Brian Bills, an SAT coach in Lake Oswego, said he has found that students at many Oregon high schools get good grades in every math class and study calculus but don't do super-well on the SAT math section on the first try.
Giving points for completing homework or extra work, and putting an emphasis on simply repeating a math algorithm without understanding it can leave students with high grades but poor readiness, Bills said.
Among Oregon SAT-takers, 55 percent reported an A grade-point average, and 38 percent reported a B average. Yet many scored poorly on the SAT.
"If the goal is 'how do I get the good grade?' as opposed to 'how do I walk out understanding everything that I have to know?' that's a problem," Bills said.
One educator pointed to a new grading system the state is requiring this year that will separately evaluate behavior such as class participation, completing homework and turning things in on time — if those are evaluated at all.
Grading students solely on math proficiency helps to fill gaps in a student's knowledge, said Forest Grove Chief Academic Officer John O'Neill,
"We were dismayed at the number of our graduates with very high grade averages who got low SAT scores and were put in remedial math" in college, he said. "So we really upped the rigor."

The story continues — we're back in the early 1990's. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and "collected" him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen.

James Wong made the final adjustment on his full Windsor knot as he looked out the window of the Fairmont Hotel. Through the fog he could almost make out the Transamerica Pyramid.
"Did you want to get your shoes shined before we left for dinner?" called Ellen through her taut, unmoving lips that were receiving a precise application of dusty rose lipstick.
James turned away from the window, walked into the bathroom, and stood next to her at the mirror.
"No, they're fine." He shimmied the tie and pulled at his white collar. Ellen snapped the top onto her lipstick and put it into her make-up bag.
"Did I tell you Will and Barb had to cancel this weekend? I'll have to find someone else or we'll get stuck playing with who-knows-what as a foursome. This fog is really playing tricks with my hair…" She captured a few outliers and put them back into the formation of the straight, black bob that ended just above her shoulders.
"Well," he said, pulling on the knot, "If we skip golf this weekend, it won't be the end of the world." Ellen glanced at his reflection and narrowed her eyes as he undid his tie.
"What's wrong with you? What are you doing? Your tie was fine." She plucked two tissues from the box in front of him and wiped off the counter.
"Nothing's wrong. I'm just redoing my tie."
Ellen paused and watched him flip one end over the other and pull it through.
"James. I'm sure she's a lovely girl."
"Yes, I'm sure she is."
"And Peter wouldn't be introducing her to us unless he thought she was someone very special."
"Yes, I know," he said, pushing up the final knot. "That's exactly the problem." He turned to her and grinned sardonically.
Ellen sighed. "There's a point where you need to trust your son's decision-making abilities. He's 24-years-old. You can't tell him what to do forever," She turned to walk out of the bathroom. "Although I'm sure that won't stop you from trying…"
"He's only 24."
"You made plenty of decisions when you were 24."
"I know. But Peter needs to be reminded that the things he does today are going to affect him down the road. He needs to be reminded that family is important."
"Peter knows that family is important."
"But he needs reminding. Once in a while."
"You mean he needs reminding that marrying a nice Chinese girl from a good family would make his grandmother happy. Once in a while."
"Peter knows how we all feel about this. I'm not going to just brush it aside like it's not important."
Ellen walked over to the closet and slipped off the white hotel robe. She took a black cocktail dress out of the closet and held it out in front of her. James stood in doorway of the bathroom, watching her.
"Don't tell me it isn't what you want too, Ellen."
She dropped her arms.
"James. Yes. Yes! In a perfect world, Peter would fall madly in love with a nice Chinese girl from a good family. Her parents would also happen to make excellent golf partners. And she and Peter would give us at least two adorable grandchildren. But circumstances being what they are, I think we're just going to have to make the best of it. Think of it this way — at least you married a nice Chinese girl from a good family and didn't have to deal with your mother a few decades ago. You could've ended up with that haole you were dating before me. At least you did the right thing."
She held up the dress again and slipped it over her head. Then she examined herself in the full-length mirror and smoothed out the few hairs that had gone rogue. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of James, eyes to the floor, lips pursed, brows furrowed.
"You know I didn't just marry you because you were a nice Chinese girl from a good family," he said, raising his eyes.
"Of course, James." She reached down and picked up a pair of two-inch pumps. "But we're not children. For you and me to say that our families had nothing to do with our choices to marry each other would be naive." She sat down on a blue velvet chair, slid her toes into the black shoes, and slipped the straps around the backs of her heels. "And of course Peter's choices will be influenced by us. But he's also his own man. Just like you were, James. You can only push him so far."
She stood up, smoothed out her dress, and took his suit jacket out of the closet.
"Come along," she said. "The reservation's for 8 o'clock, and I'd hate to keep our son and future daughter-in-law waiting." She winked. James smiled dryly and walked over to her. She helped him into the jacket and stood behind him.
"Try to remember, dear," she said, as she picked off pieces of lint and smoothed out the wrinkles, "That our son already did the right thing once."
She whispered, "He left Kauai."
James' head turned imperceptibly to the left. Ellen walked around him and straightened his tie.
"There. Just perfect." She looked up into his eyes. "I suppose there are some things in this world that are within our control."

Anyone know anything about TA-65???
Anyone know anything about TA-65???
This is supposed to be the real deal for anti-aging. But, I can't find very much info. on it. It costs $22,000.00 a year, so I won't be taking it anytime time soon. But, it would be nice to know that these types of things actually work, so when prices eventually come down.
Here's the site (I don't have 20 posts yet):
Sounds like there might be something to say for it...in theory.
As you may know, the fundamental problem of anti-aging medicine, is how do you counter antagonist pliotropy.
This refers to the fact that throughout most of human evolutionary history humans did not live long full lives. Rather, we tended to be eliminated extrinsically via violence or disease.
For this reason, genes and traits that benefit us earlier in our lifetimes are favored over those that act later.
Natural selection has simply not protected us from aging. How could it? Over millions of years it has acted to promote our welfare while we are reproductive. The further into the reproductive years we get, the less an less we are protected.
It is fundamental that anti-aging specialists understand this very important point.
So now, what of telomeres? I expect their shortening toward senescence is just one of many manifestations of the aging process. But it is very very far from the whole story.
Antagonist pliotropy will act at all genes, on every tissue, so that as we age more and more unselected for complications arise.
This is very important to keep in mind if one wishes to talk seriously about "anti-aging medicine."

This Friday, April 25, is World Malaria Day, a day to bring special attention to this preventable, treatable disease.
As part of the commemoration of World Malaria Day, we're excited to announce that Tim McCully, LWR's vice president of international programs, will be speaking at a special event at Johns Hopkins University. He joins Rear Admiral Tim Ziemer of the President's Malaria Initiative, William Moss of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, and others to talk about how faith-based organizations, government agencies, and the private sector have all come together in the global fight against malaria.
Increasing awareness of malaria
One great example of this partnership is LWR's malaria work in Mali, West Africa. Through a partnership with USAID, LWR has reached over 680,000 people in Mali with messages that build awareness about malaria prevention and treatment.
Because of these messages, we have found that:
- 99% of children under five are now sleeping under long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (up from 27-31% in 2006).
- 99% of pregnant women are now sleeping under nets (up from 31-40% in 2006).
These two statistics in particular are incredibly important, as pregnant women and young children are the most susceptible to malaria.
And not only is awareness about bed nets higher, but we've been able to provide care to over 1,700 people affected by malaria through an innovative partnership.
Innovative funding for health care
We partner with local community-based organizations to establish special funds ("Community Health Solidarity Funds") that are funded by the community members themselves. These funds can then be used to pay benefits for their own malaria care.
Before our project began, less than 11% of young children who had a fever received malaria treatment. Now, 91% do.
Not putting our lamp under a bushel
We're proud of this work. We're proud to be making a difference.
And we're proud that on Friday we'll have the chance to publicly show off the lamp that we too often hide under a bushel!

IDF deploys thousands of soldiers, police along borders with Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan ahead of 'Global March to Jerusalem'; protesters in Amman,Jordan burn Israeli, American flags.
Firebombs hurled at Jerusalem bus; no injuries -
Bus traveling in Mount Scopus area attacked with stones, Molotov cocktails. assailants still at large.
According to the bus driver ""It's a miracle that the Molotov cocktails didn't burn the bus down. We were scared to death. Children and adults began to scream and cry. When I recovered I floored the gas pedal, but I managed to catch a glimpse of the assailants – four or five hooded youngsters. I drove another kilometer or so before calling the police, who arrived within a few minutes."

Israel on Thursday stepped up preparations a day before a series of planned Arab protests, deploying thousands of troops and police across the country and along its borders in anticipation of possible violence.
On Friday, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are marking Land Day, an annual protest against what they say are discriminatory Israeli land policies. Supporters in neighboring Arab countries planned marches near the Israeli borders in a solidarity event they call a "Global March to Jerusalem."
While organizers said the events would be nonviolent, Israel's army and police were girding for trouble after similar protests last year turned deadly. Defense Minister Ehud Barak has instructed the army to impose a full closure on the West Bank, which will be lifted in 24 hours barring any unforeseen developments.
At least 15 people were killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers when they tried to cross the Syrian and Lebanese borders with Israel in a May protest marking Palestinian sorrow over Israel's creation in 1948.
A month later, Israeli troops killed 23 demonstrators who crossed into the no-man's land between Israel and Syria in a demonstration against Israeli control of the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
Israeli Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, who oversees the national police force, said officers would be spread out in potentially explosive areas Friday but would not enter Arab villages unless needed.
"The guidelines are to allow everyone to mark Land Day quietly ... We will keep a low profile," he told Israel Radio.
Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said thousands of officers were on the move throughout the country Thursday in preparation for Land Day. He said the biggest deployments were near Arab towns in northern Israel and in Jerusalem.
He said police were in touch with leaders of Arab communities in Israel in an attempt to keep protests peaceful.
"We're hoping there won't be any major incidents," he said. "If there are ... obviously the police will respond and deal with them."
In Jerusalem, the entrance to the Temple Mount compound will be limited. Thousands of police officers will be deployed in and around the capital.
Mahmoud Aloul, a Palestinian leader in the West Bank involved in preparations, said demonstrations were to be held in Jerusalem, the Qalandiya checkpoint - a frequent flashpoint of violence on the outskirts of Jerusalem - and in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. Other events were planned in Arab towns in northern Israel.
The Israeli military was also preparing for possible trouble along the borders with Lebanon and Syria in the north, Jordan to the east, and Egypt and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip to the south.
In a statement, the Israeli military said it was "prepared for any eventuality and will do whatever is necessary to protect Israeli borders and residents." It gave no further details.
As part of the preparations in north Israel, roadblocks will be set up at the entrances to major cities.
Activists in Gaza planned to hold a demonstration about a kilometer (half a mile) from the Israeli border, but said they did not plan to move closer, minimizing the chance of clashes.
The IDF has positioned snipers along the Gaza border fence for fear demonstrators may try to approach it.
Authorities in Lebanon and Jordan also said they would keep demonstrators far from the Israeli border. Several thousand protesters were expected in each place. It was unclear whether protesters would gather in Syria, which is in the midst of a vicious civil war that has left thousands dead over the past year.
Meanwhile, dozens of Jordanians protested near the Israeli embassy in Amman on Thursday against Israeli presence in the Hashemite Kingdom. During the rally demonstrators burned Israeli and American flags and said they would continue to protest until the Israeli embassy "is removed from Jordanian land and Palestine is liberated. They chanted, "Arab, fight for your rights."
The rally was organized by a Jordanian group that has been protesting against the presence of the Israeli embassy in Jordan for a few months. The group has also been protesting against the Israel-Jordan peace treaty.
Firebombs hurled at Jerusalem bus; no injuries -
A number of Molotov cocktails were hurled Thursday evening at a bus traveling in Jerusalem's Mount Scopus area, not far from the Hebrew University campus.
"You wouldn't expect something like this to happen near the university, in the heart of the State of Israel," said the driver, who was returning from a bar mitzvah at the Western Wall.
According to the driver, 40 of his relatives were on the bus when it was attacked. "After the bar mitzvah we decided to visit the Mount Scopus area, but our leisurely trip quickly turned into a nightmare when firebombs and stones were thrown at the bus," he recalled.
"It's a miracle that the Molotov cocktails didn't burn the bus down. We were scared to death. Children and adults began to scream and cry. When I recovered I floored the gas pedal, but I managed to catch a glimpse of the assailants – four or five hooded youngsters. I drove another kilometer or so before calling the police, who arrived within a few minutes."
Officers combed the area, but the assailants have not been apprehended as of yet.

The Time Jumpers
The Nashville club phenomenon (the group's shows are regular sell-outs) makes the jump, if you will, to a national scale with this collection of Western swing and traditional tunes.
Insiders know that The Time Jumpers boasts a roster of the top A-list players on Music Row and have now added Vince Gill to the permanent ranks. Vince contributes five originals to the project, and they all sound as though they could be hits on their own, particularly "The Woman of My Dreams" and the upbeat "On the Outskirts of Town."
But commercial viability isn't exactly the aim or the focus. You're not likely to hear any of the selections on a mainstream country radio station (unless it's an incredibly hip, or loosely consulted, one). These folks get together for the love of the music, and it shows throughout.
The Time Jumpers album invokes the stylings of Bob Wills (there's even a reference to Bob's "Faded Love" on one track) and Spade Cooley without coming across like a "tribute" album. The more consistently enjoyable numbers are the high-spirited jaunts, led by the opening instrumental "Texoma Bound," "Nothing but the Blues," and Mundo Earwood's "Texas on a Saturday Night." But it's hard to resist Dawn Sears' aching vocal on the bluesy "So Far Apart," reminiscent of a '40's torch song.
There are still new releases yet to come for the year, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more proficient album than The Time Jumpers. You can hear the Grammys calling already.

Desert Retreat: Suzanne Somers's Palm Springs Estate Gets a Price Cut
Actress Suzanne Somers and her husband, Alan Hamel, have put their 73-acre estate in Palm Springs, Calif., on the market for $14.5 million, almost 59% lower than when it was first listed in 2008.
The compound is up in Mesa Canyon, a short distance from the heart of downtown Palm Springs. The property features five buildings with a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The kitchen and living room are in one structure; the master suite is in another, with two guest rooms below. There's also a guesthouse, built in the 1920s by Palm Springs architect Albert Frey, made out of rocks gathered from the property.
Inspired by a village in Provence, France, the compound is only accessible via a private funicular (an open-door elevator on tracks), a golf cart, or a set of 75 stone steps, not by an automobile. Provence-style architecture is a dominant part of the home, which has a two-room kitchen and a wine cellar on the same level. There's also an outdoor amphitheater carved into the mountain that seats 50 guests and has a dance floor as well as a pool, a spa, several hiking trails, and a natural waterfall.
Ms. Somers and Mr. Hamel, a talk show host and film and TV producer, bought the home—originally a 4-acre property—in 1977, adding land to it over the years. They first put the home on the market in 2008 for $35 million, then again later for $17.5 million before re-listing this month.
"We love the home but are selling it because we are constructing a new home in the middle of 500 acres in a different part of Palm Springs," says Mr. Hamel.
Ms. Somers, who has authored self-help books in recent years, starred in several popular television shows from the 1970s through the 1990s, including "Three's Company" and "Step by Step."
Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker Previews International has the listing.

Pentagon Weighs In on Guantanamo Bay Restrictions
If President Barack Obama is ready to pick a fight with Congress over his 2009 order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, he has his Pentagon leadership behind him.
The Defense Department in a letter this week threw its weight behind a White House veto threat over restrictions on handling terrorism detainees at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In the past, Pentagon officials have been lukewarm about such a fight over the curbs, which largely block moving terror detainees from the prison to the U.S. or other countries.
Republican lawmakers behind the restrictions, have largely bet that the Obama administration will fold on the issue – while protesting – as it has in the past.
In a letter to lawmakers Tuesday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta mentioned the Guantanamo restrictions among a larger list of objections the Pentagon has about the proposed 2013 defense authorization bill being considered by a House and Senate conference.
Chief among Mr. Panetta's objections are fiscal provisions that he said "would divert $8 billion in [fiscal year] 20l3 and $74 billion over the next decade to unnecessary programs and activities."
Last year, during a similar fight over the Guantanamo restrictions, Mr. Panetta and Defense officials were more muted, while officials from the State and Justice departments pushed more forcefully to give the administration a free hand to deal with detainees.
Mr. Panetta in his Tuesday letter expressed "strong objections" to the detainee measures in the 2013 bill.
Since these restrictions have been on the books, they have limited the [administration's] ability to manage military operations in an ongoing armed conflict, harmed our diplomatic relations with allies and counterterrorism partners, and provided no benefit whatsoever to our national security," he wrote.
"This threat from the secretary of defense carries even more weight than an earlier veto threat from the White House," said Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, which is among a group of civil liberties groups pushing for the White House to do more to fulfill its Guantanamo closure plans.

Dataviz Promises MS Office for Android, iPhone at MWC
- Feb 06, 2009 9:58 PM EST
- [num] Comments
Dataviz, makers of the popular DocumentsToGo mobile Microsoft Office compatible suite, are promising two bombshells at the Mobile World Congress trade show. According to an email they sent to press, they'll be demoing DocumentsToGo for both iPhone and Android, as well as RoadSync for Android, an Exchange ActiveSync client that will connect Android phones to Microsoft Exchange servers.
This is big news. So far, there's no full Office-compatible suite for the iPhone or for Android phones; QuickOffice's MobileFiles Pro for the iPhone lets you edit Excel documents, but not Word documents. NitroDesk's TouchDown connects Android phones to Exchange, but Dataviz's products are usually considered among the finest in their fields.
We'll be at MWC and get more information there.

Movie plans to tell story of daycare accident in Augusta that led to social change (WRDW-TV, May 20, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o' clock / Sunday, May 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- He was the little boy who nearly drowned at an Augusta daycare 11 years ago.
The accident left Anthony Dejuan Boatwright with severe brain damage and fighting for his life. He lost his battle just two months ago, but his mother continues to fight for him and for others.
When Anthony fell into a bucket of mop water as a child, the daycare didn't have insurance.
His mother, Jacqueline Boatwright, has since pushed legislation, written books and much more. And, even though her son is gone now, her mission is far from over.
"Every day is very fresh for me. Every day seems just like the day it happened," Boatwright said.
She lost her son just a couple of months ago. His funeral service was held in Augusta where their journey began.
Boatwright says some days have been better than others.
"One day, I just didn't want to get out of bed. Nobody understands why I'm fighting," she said.
But memories of her son and the reasons she continues to fight kept her going.
She recalled one particularly tough day, saying, "I'm trying to get myself up and shake those feelings those thoughts, and then I hear Anthony Dejuan say, 'Mommy, get up!' And I'm like, 'Woah!' He says, 'Get up!' and I'm now back on the bandwagon."
And the bandwagon is moving fast. Anthony's story, with all of the heartbreak, love and passion, will soon hit theaters.
"The script has been written, so right now we're in what we call pre-production," she said.
And Boatwright plans to shoot the film right here in Augusta.
"I'm going to be very active. I'm directing it, I wrote the script, and I want to make sure it's as accurate as possible," she said.
In addition to the movie, Boatwright just released her fourth book, "So You're Looking for a Good Daycare Center."
"It's actually like a guide that a parent can have in their pocket when they go searching for centers. Some things to look for, some questions to ask, so that they could make a better choice," she said.
And all 500 copies of the self-published book are already gone, something Boatwright is very happy about, saying, "I am ecstatic that when I put it out there that people were receptive."
You can get a copy of the book for free at www.anthonydejuanboatwrightfoundation.com. You only have to pay shipping and handling.
Now, she hopes parents are just as receptive as she works to tell Anthony's story on the big screen.
"I think its a beautiful story of our love," she said.
Originally, the movie was supposed to air on Lifetime, but now, it is set to appear in theaters.
Boatwright has also started a petition urging Congress to pass legislation similar to Anthony Dejuan's Law in Georgia.
The law would require all daycares in the country to tell parents whether or not they have insurance.
It's already gotten nearly 7,000 signatures just in the past month. If you would like to sign the petition, you can do that by going to the foundation's website here.

Tobacco Ingredients
British American Tobacco would like consumers and governments to know the facts about
ingredients used by our companies in the manufacture of cigarettes, cigars, roll-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco and smokeless snus.
The primary component of all our companies' products is of course tobacco and the character, flavour and aroma is determined mostly by the tobaccos used.
In fact, cigarette brands can contain many kinds to tobacco - blending different types of leaf from many growing regions and harvests.
Small quantities of other ingredients have been added to tobacco products for hundreds of years - helping to control moisture levels, maintaining product quality or acting as binders or fillers.
Certain food-type ingredients, or flavourings, are added to balance the natural tobacco taste, often replacing sugars lost in the curing process.
Several of the flavourings used are recognised food stuffs such as sugar, while others are derived from natural herbs and spices or their essential oils.
Consumers like choice and ingredients allow manufacturers to widen the variety on offer and compete for custom.
Exploring the myths
Some anti-tobacco groups claim that ingredients are used to make smoking more appealing to children and more addictive.
Through the World Health Organisation's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, an international treaty, the activists would like to see broad-based ingredients bans by governments worldwide.
British American Tobacco would like to stress that:
- All tobacco products pose risks to health, but based on available scientific evidence, the ingredients our companies use, at the levels used, do not add to the health risks of smoking. Nor do they encourage people to start smoking or affect a person's ability to quit.
- Ingredients are not added to make our tobacco products appealing to children, and there is no evidence that they have this effect.
- Although ingredients in some types of cigarettes include sugars, cocoa and fruit extracts, they do not create a sweet, chocolate-like or fruity taste in the smoke. In short, our cigarettes still taste like cigarettes and not sweets or candy.
- Nicotine is not added to tobacco products - it occurs naturally in tobacco.
Because we are aware of the existence of several myths surrounding tobacco ingredients, and because we are aware of the increasing public interest regarding this issue, Carreras Limited (British American Tobacco Caribbean & Central America) provides specific information on products manufactured and/or marketed in the Region. There are two different types of information:
- BATCCA's list of tobacco ingredients (See BAT Ingredients)
- BATCCA's list of non-tobacco ingredients (See BAT Ingredients)
Blended versus unblended cigarettes
Smokers in countries such as Canada, Australia and the UK have historically preferred the taste of Virginia-style cigarettes which contain few or no ingredients.
In the US and Germany, for example, smokers prefer cigarettes that blend different types of tobaccos and use ingredients. Such brands are known as US blended.
If the allegations about addictiveness and attractiveness of ingredients had any basis in fact, you would expect to see higher take-up rates for smoking, lower rates for quitting and higher incidences of tobacco-related diseases in US blended markets. Yet, this is not the case.

For seven stressful seasons on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Sarah Michelle Gellar had the daunting task of delivering beatdowns to demons, monsters and other creepy lowlifes. Also, she saved the world. A lot.
Now Gellar returns to prime time in a twisty, trippy CW thriller called "Ringer" and the challenge before her might be even greater: Portray both ends of an identical-sister duo without making it come off as really silly. The horrors of Hellmouth seem lightweight by comparison.
When Gellar first shows up in Tuesday's opener, she is Bridget Kelly, an ex-stripper and recovering addict living in Wyoming. She also is due to testify in court concerning a gruesome murder to which she was the lone witness.
Fearing for her life, Bridget ditches the trial and goes on the run. She winds up in Manhattan, where she re-connects with Siobhan Martin, her incredibly wealthy sister.
Bridget and Siobhan have a turbulent history. They've not spoken to each other in six years. The reason for the estrangement is not made fully clear, but you get the idea that Bridget did something really awful.
Although Siobhan is all icy and remote, she seems ready to bury the hatchet. She even invites Bridget to join her for an afternoon cruise, just the two of them.
While out at sea, Bridget dozes off and wakes to discover that Siobhan has vanished. The thought of her sister sleeping with the fishes horrifies her, but Bridget also sees opportunity in tragedy: She can assume Siobhan's identity, erase the ugly past and start anew.
One big problem: Siobhan's seemingly idyllic life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she's fleeing. Entrenched in her new home with a strange husband (Ioan Gruffud), Bridget discovers dirty little secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but Siobhan's best friend, Gemma (Tara Summer), and Gemma's husband, Henry (Kristoffer Polaha). Also, someone may be trying to kill her.
A Hitchcockian vibe flows throughout "Ringer" -- and wasn't it Hitchcock who loved to ensnare ordinary people (often blonde women) in a criminal quandaries? "Ringer" may not be able to match the Master of Suspense at the top of his game, but it does a great job of creating a constant state of queasy tension.
It also does what a solid drama pilot should do: Pique your curiosity and make you hungry for more. Questions abound. What exactly happened to Siobhan? Who's good and who's evil? When the heck does the next episode start?
You also have to wonder how long Gellar can sell us on the far-fetched premise. She never has had astounding range, and at times you wish she could bring just a little more emotional oomph to the proceedings. It doesn't help that the CGI scenes featuring the sisters together come off as kind of cartoony.
Still, the doe-eyed actress does enough to make Bridget a sympathetic character. And as she slithers her way through this maze of lies and deceit, you anticipate, with bated breath, her every move. That's when it becomes very apparent: "Ringer" has its hooks in you.

Sen. Menendez Claims He Didn't Know Ex-Aide Was Part of Port Deal
Frances Robles reports in the New York Times that an ex-aide to Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) stood to benefit from a Dominican port security deal, along with Menendez benefactor Salomon Melgen. From the Times:
Mr. Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, has pushed United States government officials to help enforce a contract that a company owned in part by one of his major donors, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, has with the Dominican government, which has refused to honor it.
A top executive at Dr. Melgen's security company will be Pedro Pablo Permuy, a former national security adviser and senior legislative aide to Mr. Menendez, according to a cousin of Dr. Melgen. Mr. Permuy's ties to the senator go back at least 20 years.
But Menendez' office told the Times that this is all news to the Senator:
Tricia Enright, a spokeswoman for Mr. Menendez, said the senator had no knowledge of Mr. Permuy's involvement in Dr. Melgen's company until The New York Times raised a question on Monday.
This defies belief. Permuy was a senior staffer for Menendez, whose portfolio included the Dominican Republic. Melgen, who has deep roots and family in the Dominican Republic, is Menendez' top benefactor. All three are frequent visitors to the island, which has an inbred (and corrupt) political establishment where everyone knows each other.
The Times sheds some light on these relationships.
Mr. Permuy was deputy assistant secretary of defense for inter-American affairs during the Clinton administration. He worked for Mr. Menendez as a senior legislative aide from 1993 to 1995 and then as his national security adviser from 2001 to 2003.
In 2010, he and Dr. Melgen held a fund-raising dinner in Maryland for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Mr. Menendez was then leading. Dr. Melgen was an important fund-raiser for the senator in his committee efforts that year.
Senator Menendez could do himself a favor by making fewer assertions that are implausible on their face.
Another example is his claim that his failure to repay Melgen the $58,000 cost of two 2010 private jet trips to the Dominican Republic was "sloppy" or an "oversight." Menendez is one the least wealthy members of the U.S. Senate. His annual salary is $174,000.
If Menendez was planning to make Caribbean trips, would he really go on Melgen's private jet and pay through the nose an amount representing a big percentage of his net worth? It is obvious that he never intended to pay Melgen back.
Menendez' denial over the weekend that he accepted Melgen's hospitality in the way of hookers may be a flat-out lie, but at least it had the virtue of being plausible. It was also categorical, unlike the convoluted statements that came out of his office back in November in which he did not directly deny the allegations, but instead attacked the source.

Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
Version and / or Patch Used: 3.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.adobe.com
Product Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/
Our test with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is performed with a raw two hour AVI file. It is then compressed into DivX format using the latest version codec. We measure the time it takes to encode and then record CPU usage.
Using Premiere Elements 3.0 with the latest DivX 6.7 codec gives this program SSE 4.1 support, and here we see the advantage of using SSE4. The movie encode times have dropped remarkably.

|Progress at NIST in measuring the D-lines of Li isotopes using an optical frequency comb
|December 20, 2010
|Precise spectroscopic experiments with light atoms can provide information about nuclear properties that are very difficult to obtain in electron scattering experiments. For example, relative nuclear radii of low-Z isotopes can be determined accurately from isotope shifts. Theory has attained sufficient accuracy to study exotic, short-lived halo nuclei by interpreting precise spectroscopic measurements. However, serious inconsistencies remain in the measured isotope shifts for the D1 and D2 lines of the stable isotopes (6Li and 7Li). The latest experiments, within the last decade, are in strong disagreement with each other and with theory. We report on the progress of a new experiment at NIST to measure these lithium D lines using an optical frequency comb. A preliminary result for the splitting isotope shift (SIS) is presented.

Using v1.3. I have a 720x540 full-size. It gets downsampled to 320x240 and 150x112 at upload. Choose the thumbnail file for Featured Image and the box displays the full-size image going off the right edge of the screen. Disable the plugin and the image goes back to 320x240 in the Featured Image box. It is changing the file being displayed; not just up/down sizing it.
The thumbnail is being sent to the post correctly.
Why WP doesn't display the file size that I choose (thumbnail) is another question, but that has nothing to do with SSMP.
