Rotary Commander provides simple control for your iPod and more
"iBus" iPod Direct Control (Cable Included)
7-Way Rotary Commander for easy control
Premier Two-Year Warranty
Suggested Price: $240.00
The new Premier DEH-P590IB features Pioneer's "iBus" iPod Direct Control (cable included) with a Pure Blue OEL Display for a dynamic appearance. Other improvements include a Rotary Commander for fantastic control and operation as well as a 10-Key Remote Commander. Finally, never forget the Premier 2-Year Warranty.
"iBus" iPod Direct Control (Cable Included)*
Attention current and future iPod owners: the built-in "iBus" iPod Direct Control provides fast, easy control and playback of your iPod through the DEH-P590IB. Once connected to the included cable, you can control your iPod through the headunit and even view album, artist, and other music info on its display. iPod interface is simple and intuitive with the 7-Way Rotary Commander, which is similar to actual iPod control. You can easily scroll through lists and there is also a multi-line display and list search available. The Pioneer "iBus" powers your iPod and even re-charges the internal battery.
Pure Blue OEL Display
The pure blue OEL (Organic Electro-Luminescent) display upgrades the look of your dash with vibrant color and animated graphics. This display also provides you with more music information - up to 3 lines and 16 characters per line can be shown on the display at one time, vs. 8-10 characters on most competitors' models… Plus the rest will auto-scroll (up to 64 characters total!). That means that you can see most artists' full names, and makes navigating through MP3 files or your iPod easy.
7-Way Rotary Commander
The 7-Way Rotary Commander is like a musical joystick: with one central dial you can actually control 90% of the unit's functions and features. Scrolling through your MP3/WMA files and folders is now very easy and very fast. In addition, when controlling an iPod, the operation is easy to learn - it is similar in all respects to the actual iPod.
Hi-Volt (4V) Pre-Outs
If you decide to connect an amplifier, the three Hi-Volt (4V) pre-outs will deliver a clean, powerful signal path. The higher the volts that a pre-out provides, the better the signal strength to your amp, and then your amp doesn't have to work as hard. These Hi-Volt pre-outs help give you better dynamics, crisper highs, and big, deep bass.Hi-Volt pre-outs help give you better dynamics, crisper highs, and big, deep bass.
Multi-Language Display
For extra convenience, this model now comes with a multi-language display, which can show information in three different languages - English, French, or Spanish. Using the Rotary Commander, allows the user to change default language for all screen displays and menus.
10-Key Card Remote Included
Standard issue includes a 10-Key card remote, allowing you to control key functions without taking your eyes off the road. It fits easily in your hand, and it's small enough to stash in your console when not in use.
iTunes® AAC Playback Compatibility!
The DEH-P590IB can play CDs with AAC files ripped using Apple's iTunes Media Player. Now you can make iTunes your one-stop music player for your PC, iPod and CDs as well.
MP3 and WMA Playback
Don't let your favorite music downloads languish on your computer hard drive. Burn them to a CD-R or CD-RW and play them on one of our MP3 and WMA compatible headunits. Each disc you burn has the capacity to hold up to ten complete albums of MP3 music and twenty for WMA discs. Trust us, that's a lot of music. And since these CDs hold so much data, you'll be happy to know that Pioneer MP3 headunits also include a random play mode. You'll also be pleasantly surprised to find that our players support ID3 Tags and WMA text, which display artist, title, track and album information, just like your computer.
Available Bluetooth Wireless Technology**
Use the available CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter and Bluetooth-enabled cellular phones for easy, safe, and hands-free operation, including talking via the headunit's microphone and your vehicle's speaker system. The system automatically mutes any other audio during incoming or outgoing calls. You can store the phone book, then access it by voice or the touch screen display.
Built-in Rear Auxiliary Input
The DEH-P590IB features a built-in rear auxiliary (AUX) input, which can be easily connected with a wide range of external devices, such as portable MP3 players and more. Even plug in your inno™ and enjoy another way to listen to XM Satellite Radio.
Two-Way Crossover with New Direct Subwoofer Key
The Two-Way Crossover Adjustment is a convenient tool for tailoring your sound — and your subwoofer's levels. Right from your headunit, you can adjust your High-Pass Filter, which will protect your front and rear speakers from power-robbing deep bass notes. Now, use the Subwoofer adjustments to make sure your bass performance has the kick you like. In fact, you can just hit the new Subwoofer Direct button to fine tune the settings at any time!
Satellite Radio Ready? Ready.
Satellite Radio. It's digital, high-quality programming beamed from satellites. And the signal that doesn't fade, no matter where you drive. It offers commercial-free music of nearly every genre, plus talk, news, sports, weather, and more. There are two companies that offer this great product — XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio — and this unit is compatible with both of these subscription-based services. So you choose. You'll just need a Pioneer digital satellite tuner to match the satellite service you select.
BMX (Bit Media eXpander) Digital Enhancement
Compressed file formats such as MP3 and WMA are now as common as the Internet. But there are people who feel that compressed music sounds thin, flat and short of depth. To correct this common problem, Pioneer developed BMX technology. BMX studies what's left of the delicate sound frequencies that are usually ignored and makes the necessary adjustments. This improves the shape and overall depth of sound, which results in enjoyment to the ears, especially in the noisy car environment.
Premier® Two-Year Warranty
The warranty on this model is two years — double the warranty period of most headunit models currently on the market.
*The DEH-P590IB and iPod direct cable connector are compatible with third generation iPods® and newer featuring the dock connector.
**Optional CD-BTB200 adapter required.
Do not use your DEH-P590IB while driving if doing so will divert your attention in any way from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules. In some states certain operations of your DEH-P590IB while driving may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.

How to Get a Baseball Scholarship
There are over 1,600 college baseball programs with almost 50,000 college baseball players. College Baseball is categorized as an equivalency sport which means scholarships can be divided up and given to multiple players. This means most baseball scholarships are not full-ride scholarships, but instead are divided up as partial scholarships. Each division level is different in the number of scholarships they can offer and how they divide them up.
NCAA D1 Baseball Scholarships
There are 298 NCAA DI baseball programs with each team being allowed to offer a maximum of 11.7 scholarships per team. These scholarships can be divided up between multiple players. In order to be in position for scholarships you need to be evaluated by the coaching staff. At the D1 level coaches are contacted by thousands of recruits each year, having an online profile with professional video makes it much easier for coaches to evaluate you. This can give you an advantage against other recruits the coach is considering.
NCAA D2 Baseball Scholarships
There are 238 NCAA DII baseball programs with each team having a maximum of 9 scholarships per team. Many of the athletes who play D2 baseball are good enough to make a team at the D1 level but choose D2 because they can get more playing time and a better scholarship package. The recruiting rules are much the same as they are for D1. You need to be proactive and make it easy for coaches to evaluate you ahead of other recruits.
NCAA D3 Baseball Scholarships
There are 365 NCAA DIII programs across the country. There are more opportunities to play college baseball at the DIII level than any other level of four year schools. DIII programs are not able to offer athletic scholarships but are able to put together financial aid packages that rival the partial athletic scholarships at other levels. With limited recruiting budgets and without the appeal of baseball scholarships many D3 programs have a difficult time finding qualified recruits. For these coaches online profiles and video to help them overcome their limited recruiting budgets. Along with contacting coaches on your own, having your profile online allows a coach to evaluate you without having to take expensive flights and road trips.
NAIA Baseball Scholarships
There are 205 NAIA baseball programs with each program being allowed to offer up to 12 scholarships per team. There are more scholarships available per team at this division level than any other college division. Generally scholarships are divided up between multiple players. Because of the large number of scholarship available many players choose to play at the NAIA level where they can get the best scholarship packages.
IMPORTANT: NAIA Rule Changes. You must now register with the NAIA Clearinghouse.
Junior College Baseball Scholarships
There are 512 junior college baseball programs with each team being allowed to offer up to 24 scholarships. However, it is very rare to find a fully funded Junior College baseball team and there are usually significantly fewer scholarships available. At the junior college level each program is run very differently. Some programs are known for developing athletes not ready to play at a four year school while other programs have players with NCAA D1 talent who are at a 2-year school to get academically eligible.
Getting a scholarship is not easy but depending on what level you want to play, the basics are the same. Here is our guide to getting a scholarship.
To get a scholarship you must be getting recruited. Here is everything you need to know about the baseball recruiting process.
Going to baseball camps and showcases is essential when trying to get evaluated by college coaches. Learn what you need to do before going to a baseball camp or showcase here.

I am seeing issues with query timeouts in SSAS connecting to Greenplum. I have tried raising the timeout limit in the connection string, and examining GP log files and to verify that data is being returned from the database. Query performance in other tools suggests I should not be seeing timeouts.
Using 18.104.22.1688 version of the driver.
Are there any cost or row limits I should be aware of when querying data via SSAS and PGNP?

Third World Newsreel (TWN) and NewFilmmakers Series are proud to present Asian American Filmmakers Program. Please join us on Tuesday, July 5th at 6PM.
Life or Liberty by Konrad Aderer, 8 minutes
Shokriea Yaghi copes with the senseless incarceration of her husband in 9/11's aftermath. A Japanese American woman who lived through the WWII camps shares her bitterness and her fears for the future, as immigration law expert Cyrus Mehta and former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes debate the larger context of anti-terror policies. Part of the Call to Media Action series.
Rising Up: The Alams by Konrad Aderer, 11 minutes
See how a Bangladeshi-American family targeted by Special Registration fights back. As part of the Homeland security measures, immigrant men from 25, mostly Muslim countries were required to enroll in a Special Registration program. The result: no evidence of terror, but some 13,000 people are now being deported mostly for expired visas. The Alams were among the many families who believed that voluntarily participating in the Special Registration would show their loyalty. Instead, they face the prospect of breaking up their family, despite a decade of hard work and the raising of two children. Working with DRUM (Desis Rising Up and Moving), the Queens South Asian activist group, the Alams have become activists, organizing to fight for their right to stay. Part of the Call for Change series.
Two Months to Home by Janice Ahn, 8 minutes
In the months prior to 9-11, an Afghan woman named Samira Rahman narrowly escapes from the Taliban, losing her family. After settling down in Long Island and beginning a new one, Samira is taken away by Homeland Security agents in the middle of the night. Her husband Abdul, who runs a coffee cart in South Ferry, and their two young boys await news of her fate.
Dastaar: Defending Sikh Identity by Kevin Lee, 12 min
A restaurant owner beaten. A policeman fired. A 20 year subway conductor born in the U.S., threatened with job loss: All for wearing the signature turbans of their religion, Sikhism. Since 9/11, hate crimes and job losses have plagued the Sikh-American community, whose religion originated in India, and is not even Islamic. In response, the NYC Sikh community has organized to confront the bias and attacks, through legal suits, pressure on city officials and proactive public education. An excellent introduction to an often misunderstood religion and the success of community activism. Part of the Call for Change series.
December 7/September 11 by Ann Brandman & Paul Nishijima, 15 minutes
A comparison of how the events and possible after effects of September 11th may mirror those of the attack on Pearl Harbor. A collection of interviews with Japanese-American veterans who witnessed the events of December 7 in Hawaii offer their insight into what has happened and what might be to come. Part of the Call to Media Action series.

Enemy Alien Sneak Preview at Anthology Film Archives
Join Japanese American filmmaker Konrad Aderer to a sneak preview of his upcoming documentary film Enemy Alien.
Enemy Alien, a first-person documentary, is the gripping story of the fight to free Farouk Abdel-Muhti, a gentle but indomitable Palestinian-born human rights activist detained in a post-9/11 sweep of Muslim immigrants. Told through the eyes of the filmmaker, the grandson of Japanese Americans interned during World War II, this documentary takes on unprecedented intimacy and historical resonance.
As the filmmaker confronts his own family legacy of incarceration, his involvement in the current struggle deepens. Resistance brings consequences: In retaliation for organizing a massive protest from inside detention, Farouk is beaten and locked in solitary confinement, and his American-born son Tarek is arrested in a counterterrorism investigation into the documentary itself.

Hi everybody,
We are 2002studios based in Harrow, NW London in the UK. We are currently recording a lot of multi-lingual voice-over projects for well-known multimedia and linguistic companies. These projects range from video tutorials to audio integrated software and even complete audio books with music and sound effects! We would love to work with you to overdub your films in many different languages. How do we make that happen?
Well, we have our very own database of over 150 native speakers in 38 different languages. We provide male as well as female voice-over actors in English (U.K. regional dialects as well as American English), French, Dutch (Flemish is also available), German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian,… but also Japanese, Indonesian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Farsi, Croatian, Hungarian, Turkish and many other languages. If we don't have a language in our database that you are currently looking for or if you are not pleased with our selection, then we will hold auditions and find you a suitable voice-over actor at no cost.
Linguists have verified all our native speakers in the database so that we can provide 100% authenticity. 100% of the recording takes place in our London studio, so we have a consistent sound, have complete oversight of the quality.
We provide all this with VERY COMPETITIVE pricing and we are not shy to throw in some bonuses when asked to do so (Think music and sound design).
If you are interested in finding out more, feel free to contact us anytime.

My name is Jeff Dreyer. I'm a father of a Special Needs 22 yr old child. I'm so very tired of hearing the derogatory, demeaning and hurtful word "retard" being used so rampantly these days. I made an 18 minute documentary titled "it's Just Not Funny". The premise is to get the entertainment industry to take the word "retard" out of their scripts. The video was on YouTube for nine days only. It had almost 600 views though. I had over 30 wonderful comments on YouTube, and I received from across the country another 100 positive messages on my Face Book page and my firstname.lastname@example.com e-mail.
Here's the issue. The Special Olympics Southern Cal. made me take it down, because they said some of my content is negative towards the entertainment industry. That's the idea. Someone has to step up an speak out against the offenders that perpetuate this use. It's everywhere these days. TV, movies, talk shows, interviews et cetera. The person that edited it for me isn't interested in continuing with my project. I need someone to help me take the SOSC logo out of some of the footage, and remove their name from the credits. I then want to enter the documentary in some film festivals. If the right person with some horse power in the business viewed it, and they have a Special Needs child, sibling, relative or friend, the doc would catch fire. Then possibly we can make the doc larger and get some results. Anyone that would like to volunteer about five hours would certainly be included in the credits. I live in S. Orange County Cal. I could come up to Los Angeles if need be. Thanks, Jeff

Hi everyone,
Only 19 days left for our Kickstarter fundraising campaign to complete and we need YOUR support to reach our goal. If you haven't contributed yet, please click here to donate to our project so we can bring the much-needed humanitarian help to women who are victims of sex trafficking.
The US State department Trafficking-In-Person report (TIP report) clearly indicates the stagnation of Israel's enforcement in regards to sex trafficking. After speaking to a senior Police official who specializes in curbing sex trafficking in Israel, he revealed to me in a personal interview that trafficked women numbers are rising again, and this time, the traffickers are choosing South American women as their target.
Thank you for your support and for donating to HOLY GHETTO film.

Today, I tried to get my boyfriend to roll over while he was asleep. He snores loud enough to wake the neighbors and if he lays on his side he usually stops. Instead of rolling over, he stuck his leg in the air, farted twice, and laughed about it in his sleep. He's still snoring. FML

Recently widowed Lola moves in with her son, Ray, and his family at his request. The potential disasters of Lola living with her anally retentive adult son and family provide the backdrop for a hilarious story about life. Life according to Lola, that is.
Lola is a witty sharpshooter who's too busy living life to the fullest to worry about political correctness, exercise and proper diet. She's fiercely independent and struggles with having to live under Ray's rules…so she doesn't. A wicked sense of humor and blunt, but often heart-warming honesty are Lola's tools of trade.

I've spent a lot of time in a movie theater in my life, but only once did I ever spend 24 hours straight. It involves a level of mind-over-body endurance, but eventually the sleep deprivation makes the movies take on a new life.
This weekend the annual 24-Hour Ohio Science Fiction Marathon invades the Drexel. (My marathon was a horror marathon at the now defunct Drexel North.) And the event has a lineup that promises to be particularly mind-bending when the fatigue sets in.
Headlining the whole affair is a restored version of Fritz Lang's visionary 1927 classic, "Metropolis." Years ahead of its time, seeing this on the big screen will be a rare treat.
Also on hand, Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken shows just how badass an eye patch can be in John Carpenter's 1981 "Escape from New York." "Akira" from 1988 was the high-water mark in Japanese anime when it came out, and it's still relevant. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a deadly TV game show in "The Running Man," and Alex Cox's punk classic "Repo Man" will also be screened.
All told, the price of admission ($40 at the door) gets you 12 feature films (that's just over $3 a movie), plus trailers and shorts, a costume contest and the camaraderie of surviving a night with strangers.

Leon Neal / AFP - Getty Images file
In this file picture taken on Dec. 20, 2012 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange addresses members of the media and supporters from the window of the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge, west London.
Julian Assange Tuesday took the first step toward a Senate run in the Australian state of Victoria as a member of the newly formed WikiLeaks Party, Australian daily The Age reported.
Assange, an activist and founder of the non-profit organization WikiLeaks, which publishes classified information and news leaks from anonymous sources, is poised to run in the Sept. 14 federal election.
According to The Age, Assange's electoral enrollment application was submitted to the Australian Electoral Commission in Melbourne by WikiLeaks supporters, including Assange's father, John Shipton.
Shipton said the enrollment was ''a first step'' in a political campaign that would focus on ''the democratic requirement of truthfulness from government.''
This first step in the process Assange initiated is the equivalent of voter registration in the United States. Becoming the WikiLeaks candidate will require the party's nomination, Graeme Orr, professor at the University of Queensland and an Assange adviser, told Mashable.
The WikiLeaks party is not yet registered with the country's electoral commission. Registration would require that 500 members who are listed on the electoral roll be confirmed, according to The Age.
Australian citizens living overseas may register to vote -- and, implicitly, run for office at home -- if they left Australia within the past three years prior to the election and plan to return within six years of their departure, The Age reported.
Assange put down his mother's home as his last address in Australia, where he allegedly lived until June 2010.
But the WikiLeaks founder has been living at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more than six months — eluding Swedish authorities, who have an outstanding arrest warrant for him in connection to a sexual assault investigation.
Assange spoke of his political ambitions in December, when he said he was interested in running for Senate, adding that "a number of very worthy people admired by the Australian public" had signaled they'd be willing to join him on a party ticket.
According to The Age, opinion polls conducted last year suggest Assange would be a competitive candidate.
A representative for the Australian Electoral Commission said the application for electoral enrollment is a private matter between the applicant and the commission, so he would not discuss individual cases.

Why a Short-Term Health Plan Might Make Sense for Some Before Obamacare
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the Affordable Care Act nearing its Tuesday deadline for open enrollment, some Americans still aren't sure what moves to make on the fast-moving health care insurance front.
Only four in 10 Americans even know that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. And half of Americans don't understand how the ACA will affect their families.
With uncertainty the rule, many Americans without health care or whose employers may be moving them on to heath care exchanges may be considering short-term care insurance -- at least to plug gaps and buy some time until they know where they stand under the new law.
But is taking the short route a good idea?
The Mountain View, Calif., online health insurance exchange eHealthInsurance says so. "If you're uninsured now and biding time until you enroll in 2014 -- or if you find yourself uninsured for a brief period of time in early 2014 -- short-term health insurance is worth considering," says Carrie McLean, eHealth's Obamacare expert (yes, that's her real title).
That said, even McLean says there are pros and cons to short-term coverage.
"Short-term coverage can provide you with a basic level of coverage in case of unexpected injury or illness," she says. "Because coverage under a short-term plan is limited, it's easier to qualify for -- you can buy today and start your coverage almost immediately."
With plans advertised as starting as low as $69 per month for individuals (or $169 for a family plan), McLean says short-term health care is affordable and you can elect to pay it in one lump sum or in monthly installments. (The company has been eyed for its seductive "teaser rates" in the past.)

1) What is the largest mountain?
2) Where is it?
3) How did it form?
Feel free to answer via commenting
The answer is now in the comments section
The Geography Blog focusing on all things geography: human, physical, technical, space, news, and geopolitics. Also known as Geographic Travels with Catholicgauze! Written by a former National Geographic employee who also proudly served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mauna Loa, Hawaii, Shield volcano
The answer is Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Despite being lower than Mount Everest in terms of elevation above sea level, it's actually higher when judging from the ocean floor. Whereas Everest is 8848 metres above sea level, Mauna Kea is 10,200 metres from the bottom of the ocean floor to its highest point of 4205 metres above sea level. It was formed from volcanism.
Mount Everest, Himalayan mountain range, it formed when the tectonic plate containing india rubbed up against the asian land mass above it.
Good answers, everyone. The standard "just what is the highest mountain on earth" question ( blogged about earlier ) could have tripped me up... if I asked for the tallest mountain on earth.
However, the question was just for the tallest mountain. Currently, the tallest known mountain is Rheasilvia on 4 Vesta. This beast, named after the mother of Romulus and Remus, is larger than Olympus Mons. It comes in at over 14 miles high (22 kilometers). It is a central peak crater formed by a very large impact of a comet-like object.

That's amazing.
My Test team is unimaginably terrible at the moment, so I really wanted to do well in the ODIs against South Africa. All locked up 1-1 going into the 3rd and final ODI...
Ryder WAFG.
My biggest chase to win an ODI ever.
Fantastic chase, sounds like a brilliant innings from Ryder. How come you haven't tried him in test matches?
I love the fact they introduced the Australian domestic scene, but it is seriously frustrating. You can't choose your Twenty20 players, the squads are absurdly small and ****ing Suresh Raina who has wasted a spot as a T20 player all year has gone on international duty after one game. ****ing hell.
That's a good question actually. His FC stats haven't been that impressive, so he hasn't really caught my eye when I've been selecting teams. But he is amazing in ODIs, so maybe I should try him out.
Yeah I just don't understand why they didn't do it the same as the English system.
In my Glamorgan save, one of my players Ian Mutch has had an exceptional start to his career... hadn't really noticed but he has 50 FC wickets @ 20 and then 50 OD wickets @ ~13 IIRC.

The BBC series Walking With Dinosaurs receives a child-friendly big-screen treatment — complete with cutesy story and dino-poop jokes — in Walking With Dinosaurs.
Aimed squarely at the dino-crazy demographic (ages 7 to 12), the film pumps a few IQ points into a kid-film genre sorely in need of them.
The movie indentifies each dinosaur species introduced, including factoids about what they ate and any special skills they might have had.
It is downright educational (although youngsters need not be told that).
Combining striking cinematography of some of the last great remote places on Earth (Alaska) with state-of-the art dinosaur animation, Walking is another Great Migration tale — herbivores heading south at the onset of Alaskan winter, hounded by carnivores and omnivores.
A feeble framing device packs teenage Ricky (Charlie Rowe) and his little sister, Jade (Angourie Rice), off to visit their paleontologist uncle (Karl Urban) in Alaska. Jade is OK with digging for dinosaurs, but Ricky would rather play with his phone.
A raven voiced by John Leguizamo draws the boy's attention and tells him about the bird's ancestor, an Alexornis.
"Alex" is friends with a pachyrhinosaur, "Patchi," voiced by Justin Long.
We follow the baby Patchi out of the nest, through a few near-death experiences and into adulthood as he migrates south with his herd, tries to stick to his bigger, tougher brother Scowler (Skylar Stone) and catch the eye of the fetching Juniper (Tiya Sircar).
They endure attacks, injuries and the threat of a forest fire.
And, of course, the film has poop jokes and sibling-rivalry zingers.
The biggest laughs, though, stem from sight gags of the type you might catch in an inviting nature film.
Co-directors Barry Cook (Mulan) and nature-film veteran Neil Nightingale come up with astonishing animation and an approach just smart enough to retain viewer interest.
The story within this package might be too childish for those older than 12, but the research behind it and effort to pass that knowledge on to young dinosaur fans make Walking With Dinosaurs as at home in the classroom as it is in theaters.

March 9, 2000: From ground-based telescopes, the glowing gaseous debris surrounding dying, sun-like stars in a nearby galaxy, called the Large Magellanic Cloud, appear as small, shapeless dots of light. But through the "eyes" of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, these bright dots take on a variety of shapes, from round- to pinwheel-shaped clouds of gas.See the rest:
The six objects in the picture illustrate the assortment of planetary nebulae identified in the galaxy. SMP 16, 30, and 93 are examples of a bipolar nebula, twin lobes of gas projecting away from a dying star. SMP 10 has a pinwheel shape and is known as a "point-symmetric" nebula. SMP 4 has an elliptical appearance, and SMP 27, consisting of four lobes of gas, is called a "quadrupolar" nebula. The lines point to the objects' locations in the Large Magellanic Cloud. A ground-based observatory snapped the picture of this galaxy.
Scientists are probing these illuminated stellar relics in our neighboring galaxy because they are at relatively the same distance - about 168,000 light-years — from Earth. Knowing the distance to these objects allows scientists to compare their shapes and sizes, and precisely determine the brightness of their central stars. For this reason, even though these glowing remains of dying stars are about 50 times farther away than the stunning planetary nebulae photographed in the Milky Way, they are of invaluable importance.
By sampling this population, scientists noticed that the bipolar nebulae are richer in some heavier elements, such as neon, than those with a more spherical shape. At the dawn of the universe, only the lighter elements, such as hydrogen, filled the heavens. The heavier elements were produced later as stars died. Neon, in particular, is produced only when massive stars die in supernova explosions. Thus, a higher abundance of neon in "bipolar" planetary nebulae indicates that the stars that sculpted these objects were born more recently (i.e., in an environment that had suffered more supernova explosions) than those that created the more symmetrically shaped clouds of gas.

Ok, DS is 20 mo and still going strong with bf. I just started working out this week, since I need to lose a little weight so that my clothes fit better. He's thrown up a bunch this week--as in he puked 6 times yesterday. DH keeps saying that my BM is bad and that I either ate something that doesn't agree with DS or maybe my muscles have released "lactic acid" into my body that's going out into the milk. Does this happen? I'm a bit suspect because I haven't worked out since Thursday, and DS had a long day yesterday and it seems like every time people are up in his face and he gets overstimulated, he pukes. We saw my dad several times yesterday, and I'm sure that didn't help the overstimulated part, coupled with DH's hysteria over the vomit and DS being off his schedule. Seriously, DH kept saying how DS couldn't have any more milk, since "every time he breastfeeds, he pukes." I love it when he gets hysterical and irrational--and it's not like I'm going to deny DS when he obviously doesn't feel good and is pulling on my shirt.
Also, you can throw in that DS has eaten a lot of this certain granola bar (that has nut flour in it--we haven't tried him on nuts yet, as his cousin has bad nut allergies and I'm paranoid about them) over the past week as well. So, with all of this rambling, I'm wondering, what do you mamas think could be contributing to the vomiting? Mama exercise, overstimulation, or something else?

The limited edition Kisai Optical Illusion watch from Tokyoflash Japan features an 'always on' LCD display that shows the time digitally.
With a touch screen display, the watch has time and date, alarm, EL backlight, animation and a unique optical illusion so that the time can be viewed through a maze of high resolution lines.
Kisai Optical Illusion displays the time digitally, hours in the upper half of the screen, minutes in the lower half of the screen. Just touch the screen to reveal the time.
You can also train your eyes to see the time through the optical illusion. Like many optical illusions, it's really easy to see once you know how.
The direction of the lines in the display allow your eyes and brain to process only the lines that make up the digits to reveal the time in hours and minutes.

Suspect says he didn't know cocaine was illegal
Man to police: 'I don't understand'
A man arrested on cocaine possession allegedly claimed he did not know the drug was illegal in the state of Florida, according to a police report.
46-year-old Guy Lanchester was one of three people who were reportedly acting in a suspicious manner and then were seen walking onto the property of a resort in Key West, Fla., reports NBC Miami. Officers arrived on the scene and saw Lanchester walk behind a "sign/flower pot to conceal his actions." Upon further investigation, police discovered that the suspect had in his possession a small plastic bag containing white powder, which tested positive for cocaine, according to the police report.
Lanchester later told police, "I don't understand... I thought cocaine wasn't illegal in Florida," according to the report. He is being held without bond

With nearly 12 inches of rain recorded in Bee County at the time of this photo, it appeared that Dr. Tom Stark was prepared for the worst with his boat ominously moored in his front yard. The doctor was asked if he planned on trolling down Hefferman street or if he would pull the boat to his back door so he and his family could scramble to safety. Actually, Stark had deposited the boat on the lawn so he could repair his trailer.
A team of Texas A&M University meterology students set up their forecasting headquarters as they begin the first step in tracking, spotting and photographing an approaching storm system. Led by, from left, Greg Bostwick of Beeville, Jud Ladd, Greg Wilson and John Marrs, the team has banded together some 15 young weathermen into what is known as the Severe Storm Intercept Project. The storm hunters have traveled as much as 500 miles in their search for hail, high winds and tornadoes.

Here is some background on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Facts: On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 men hijack four fuel-loaded commercial airlines bound for West Coast destinations. This terrorist attack on the United States is orchestrated by al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. A total of 2,977 people are killed in New York City, Washington, D.C., and outside of Shanksville, Pa., in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
The victims: At the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, 2,753 people are killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 are intentionally crashed in the north and south towers.
Of those who perish during the initial attacks and the subsequent collapses of the towers, 343 are New York City firefighters, another 23 are New York City police officers and 37 others are officers at the Port Authority.
The victims range in age from two to 85 years. Approximately 75-80 percent of the victims were men.
At the Pentagon in Washington, 184 people are killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into the building.
Near Shanksville, 40 passengers and crew members aboard United Airlines Flight 93 die when the plane crashes into a field. It is believed that the hijackers crashed the plane in that location, rather than their unknown target, after the passengers and crew attempted to retake control of the flight deck.
Sept. 11, 2001
- 8:46 a.m. ET - American Airlines Flight 11 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) strikes the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
- 9:03 a.m. ET - United Airlines Flight 175 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) strikes the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
- 9:37 a.m. ET - American Airlines Flight 77 (traveling from Dulles, Va., to Los Angeles) strikes the Pentagon Building in Washington.
- 9:59 a.m. ET - South tower of WTC collapses in approximately 10 seconds.
- 10:03 a.m. ET - United Airlines Flight 93 (traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco) crashes in a field near Shanksville.
- 10:28 a.m. ET - North tower of WTC collapses. The time between the first attack and the collapse of both World Trade Center towers is 102 minutes.
Dec. 13, 2001 - The U.S. government releases a tape in which Osama bin Laden takes responsibility for the attacks.
Dec. 18, 2001 - Congress approves a measure to allow the president to designate Sept. 11 as "Patriot Day" on each anniversary of the attacks.
Jan. 23, 2004 - The New York City Medical Examiners Office has issued 2,749 death certificates, the first time since the attacks that the number of death certificates has matched the number of victims.
June 15, 2004 - The Victims Compensation Fund finishes its work processing death and injury claims from families and relatives of Sept. 11 victims. Families of those killed had until Dec. 22, 2003 to apply for compensation. Families who agreed to get compensation from the federal fund agreed not to sue the airlines.
Feb. 22, 2005 - Saying it has exhausted all DNA technology, the New York City Medical Examiner Office halts the process of identifying human remains from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center site. Of the 2,749 people known to have been killed at the World Trade Center site, only 1,585, or 58 percent, are identified by recovered physical remains.
April 2, 2007 - The remains of two more victims of 9/11 at the World Trade Center are positively identified. Of the 2,749 known deaths in the attacks in New York, 1,146 victims have yet to be linked to remains.
May 24, 2007 - The Chief Medical Examiner of New York City, Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, rules that the death of Felicia Dunn-Jones in 2002, from dust exposure, is directly linked to the 9/11 attack and therefore a homicide. This raises the 9/11 death toll to 2,750.
July 19, 2007 - The New York Medical Examiner's office announces that the remains of three more people are positively identified. 1,133 victims, 41 percent of the total, remain unidentified.
April 7, 2008 - The New York City Medical Examiner's Office announces that the remains of four more victims from the WTC have been identified. As of this date, 1,621 victims have been identified, leaving 1,129 unidentified.
January 2009 - The medical examiner's office rules that Leon Heyward, who died the previous year of lymphoma and lung disease, is a homicide victim because he was caught in the toxic dust cloud just after the towers collapsed. This brings the total number of 9/11 victim death toll to 2,752.

The Flathead County Sheriff's Office says a baby drowned Saturday evening after falling head first into a mop bucket.
Mariella Dalimata was 10 days shy of her first birthday, and family members tell us her parents are devastated.
Sheriff Chuck Curry says Mariella accidentally tipped head first into a five gallon bucket at her family's home in Creston, Montana.
She was reportedly left unattended for a few minutes when the drowning happened; her body is now at the State Crime Lab in Missoula for an autopsy.
But, Curry says the death has been ruled an accident and the parents will not be charged with a crime.
Family members want to try and prevent this from happening to anyone else, by getting the message out to other families about just how quickly tragedy can occur.
"Watch anything that has water in it. Children can drown in an inch of water. Dog food dishes, buckets (if you're mopping) - dump them, even if you feel like you're doing to be away from them for 15 seconds. And cherish your kids," Mariella's Aunt Brooke Schwab told us.
Family members say they've received a tremendous amount of support from the community over the last few days, and plan on holding Mariella's funeral on what would have been her first birthday.
Click here for a memorial fund has been set up in Mariella's memory.

Success Stories - MVe® Group Exercise
"The MVe Chair has been enthusiastically embraced by our members. Peak Pilates has been integral and fundamental to our success."
The Challenge
JoyMoves, based in Austin, Texas opened for business in June 2006. With three studio rooms and not much else differentiating them from the other fitness studios and health clubs in the area, co-owner Steve Goldstein decided that adding Pilates equipment and education would be the next best step.
"We're in the business of helping people heal through movement. Pilates is a natural and complimentary part of that," he said.
The Solution
Seeking the highest-quality equipment and instructor education for his new studio, Goldstein contacted Peak Pilates. With the help and extensive knowledge of Peak Pilates Regional Teacher Trainer Nancy Hurd, within a few months JoyMoves was offering a full assortment of both Pilates mat and equipment classes.
"We offer private, duet and trio sessions on the reformer for an additional fee," he said. "We also offer about 19 group mat and [MVe] chair classes as part of the general JoyMoves membership per week. That membership allows clients to take as many Pilates, Nia and Yoga classes as they desire for one monthly charge."
JoyMoves currently employs six Pilates trainers, all of whom are required to be Peak Pilates trained.
Since adding Pilates equipment and instructor education by Peak Pilates, JoyMoves has seen an acceleration in membership and overall interest in the practice of Pilates. Most recently, an MVe Chair class was featured during a local news broadcast.
"Our members have enthusiastically embraced our Pilates program," he said. "Oftentimes, members who are taking Pilates at JoyMoves are new to exercise or have been doing other forms of exercise that injured them."
"We have about 200 members take Pilates each week," he said. "Between 50 to 80 of those members take the fee-based private and semi-private sessions while the rest take the group mat and MVe Chair classes."
JoyMoves was recently voted "Best Pilates" in Austin's 2008 CitySearch poll.
North Valley Athletic Club
"We are currently filling all of our MVe classes. Everyone loves the MVe."
The Challenge
North Valley Athletic Club, based in Chico, California, created its equipment based Pilates offering when owner/manager Scott Schofield decided to implement Peak Pilates' MVe program as a way to compete with the competition.
The Solution
While North Valley Athletic Club also offers a variety of traditional group exercise classes, Schofield states that he has seen the greatest success within the MVe program. Because Peak Pilates' complete and structured instructor training is included in the MVe package, Schofield is confident that club members will receive professional, consistent instruction and as a result will have better success in their overall workouts.
By utilizing Peak's predesigned, music-driven MVe classes, participants receive a well-designed, fun and results-oriented workout with each class—no matter what level of training their instructor previously had.
Since launching Peak's MVe program Schofield has witnessed an increase in membership retention. "We are currently filling all of our MVe classes," he said. "Everyone loves the MVe."
North Valley Athletic Club includes MVe classes in full-time membership packages, and recently began offering personal training lessons for an additional fee.
St. Anthony's Carillon Wellness Center
"The MVe has served as a great way to enhance the level of Mind/Body programs available at our facility."
The Challenge
In April 2007, Kellie Pioch, Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor at St. Anthony's Carillon Wellness Center in St. Petersburg, Florida decided to enhance the level of Mind/Body programs offered at her facilities, and needed an offering to bridge the gap between private training and traditional group fitness classes.
The Solution
Since implementing Peak Pilates' equipment and education nearly one year ago, Pioch has seen a large increase in Pilates participation from a majority of St. Anthony's 3,400 members.
St. Anthony's now offers Peak Pilates programs at all of their three facilities, including classes on the mat, reformer and MVe Chair. Mat classes are offered at no charge, acting as a feeder into fee-based equipment training. Pioch notes that the MVe classes have increased profits as the facilities offer fee-based group and private training on the MVe Chair. In addition, the classes appeal to members that were hesitant to try Pilates in the past and serve as a profitable step in between the mat and reformer programs.
In the future, Pioch plans to implement the combination Peak Pilates MVe Fitness Chair and Reformer package that features predesigned, music-driven classes in order to offer members an additional option for their Pilates training.
