I had the opportunity recently to re-discover what many consider to be one of the most amazing and influencial movies of the last century.
I have to give the movie credit for being a wonder to look at. Walking on the moon before it actually happened was quite realistic. the outer space scenes were beautiful. and the music...couldn't have been more perfect.
the story line builds slowly. starting with the dawn of man, the discovery of tools. flash forward to the lunar surface. then on to jupiter and whatever orbits it.
one question though...now, I'm an educated guy. i can appreciate art in most forms. but i was hoping someone could answer something for me...what in the name of God was this about? the monolisks represented what? obviosly this is one of those metaphorical flicks that make you think. right?
Was it life? was it death? eternal searching? beginnings?
and whats up with the child star at the end of the flick? and that light show as the astronaut was...dying?
is killer pot neccessary to grasp this movie? i'm not sure if it was a masterpiece, or if the movie stunk?
I'm looking for anyone's explanation of just what in the world happened.
monolisks...c'mon Stanley, what were the monolisks about?

This hilarious concert, held in Alumnae Hall, features the music of P.D.Q. Bach, supposedly the last and very least of Johann Sebastian Bach's children. We tackle his most ambitious work, the 1712 Overture, where it is widely known that the only original passages in this music are due to P.D.Q.'s inability to remember how the piece that he was stealing from went.
We also perform his Konzertshtick for Two Violins mit Orchestra, which features our very own concertmaster Mr. Robert Rossi and the Russian violin virtuoso Ivan Peirotcik who both have reluctantly agreed to play the solo violin parts. A funny and entertaining concert for children of all ages.
Tickets are available at the door and here.

Hospitality will manage campus dining beginning in July
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (May 12, 2014) – The Maryland Board of
Public Works has approved a contract between UMES and Thompson HospitalityServices LLC that gives the company the green light to manage the university's
food services beginning in July.
The five-year deal calls for the
Reston, Va.-based company to provide "student board meals, retail sales,
internal and external catering and concessions."
Thompson also committed to
"in-kind dining facilities renovations and upgrades," including space for one
or more retail food outlets and upscale venues for alumni and recruitment
"We are honored the University of
Maryland Eastern Shore chose us to be its food service partner, and very
excited to begin serving the UMES community", said Warren M. Thompson,
President and Chairman of Thompson Hospitality. "Our team has experienced
'Hawkspitality' first-hand, and we look forward to building upon the fine
foundation that UMES Dining has established and helping to take your program to
the next level."
President Juliette B. Bell said,
"I am very pleased with the new options that Thompson Hospitality Services
brings for providing high quality food services to the UMES community.
This is an opportunity to enhance the campus dining experience for
Students increasingly have
expressed a desire to have a broader range of dining options, including food
that falls in the category of "healthy eating," administrators said.
As part of ongoing reviews of
campus operations, the university administration last fall began weighing the
pros and cons of continuing to provide food service in-house or switching to a
private-sector vendor.
A campus committee studied
proposals from three companies and recommended the university pursue a change,
which required approval of the University System of Maryland's (USM) governing
board and the Board of Public Works.
The change means students in
UMES' Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management will see up-close how
private-sector, for-profit businesses operate.
The company pledged to provide
"access to our network of corporate clients for employment and internship
opportunities. We are particularly excited about working with your
award-winning Hospitality program," Thompson said.
UMES employs 80 food service
workers, 70 of whom are "contingent" or contractual employees responsible for
serving approximately 1,700 students.
"Our food service workers are
among the university's most dedicated and hard-working employees," President
Bell said. "We appreciate what they do for our campus community."
Current workers will have the
option of interviewing for positions Thompson needs to fill, and the company
will match wages at the time the bid was submitted for those who are hired in a
similar position.
Thompson, which bills itself as
the country's "largest minority-owned food service" company, has food service
contracts with 20 historically black institutions, including Morgan State,
Bowie State and Norfolk State universities.

Those least responsible for past emissions are likely to suffer the most serious impacts.everywhere. According to the standard analysis, this makes climate change a traditional "tragedy of the commons," played out between nation states that represent the interests of their citizens in perpetuity. In Garrett Hardin's tragedy, each herdsman prefers the collective outcome where none over-consume — so that the commons is not overburdened. Nevertheless, when acting individually each prefers to over-consume himself, no matter what the others do — with ruinous results for all.
Most victims of climate change cannot hold us to account, being very poor, not yet born, or nonhuman.in the face of severe costs to the future is repeated for subsequent generations as they come to hold the reins of power. Hence, there are cumulative impacts further in the future. Worst of all, such impacts may eventually provoke the equivalent of an intergenerational arms race. Perhaps some future generations will face such appalling environmental conditions that they are entitled to emit more in self-defense, even foreseeing that this behavior makes matters even worse for their successors. And so it goes on.
We face a profound challenge that current institutions and theories were not designed to meet.— and especially the more affluent — are in a position to continue taking modest benefits for ourselves, while passing nasty costs onto the poor, future generations, and nature. However, pointing this out is morally uncomfortable. Better, then, to cover it up with clever but shallow arguments that distort public discussion, and solutions that do little to get at the core problems. After all, most of the victims are poorly placed to hold us to account — being very poor, not yet born, or nonhuman.

Mini Toucha being these small mushroom-ish balls of what I'm told is Pu-Erh tea...I've had such mixed results with them and was wondering if someone could tell me the best way to brew them?
Much thanks in advance
Antony wrote:I got some of those mini toucha pu-erh cakes (black) from Wholes Foods loose tea section. I forgot what brand it was, but it was the only non-boxed or tinned pu-erh available there. They are wrapped in white tissure papper and are hard little bird nest shapes. I broke one apart in a mortar and pestle, it was much harder than i thought it would be, almost stone like. I then put the smashed pieces in my metal mesh ball shaped infuser, steeped for 5 min in my coffe cup. (and two subsequent re-steeps)
The result was a very dark and yet unflavorable beverage. It was indeed earthy, but I didn't think the flavor was that strong. The smell was kinda like this loose tabbaco i bought once, and also like yerba mate. Overall, it tasted like old tea without flavor, mixed with ginseng root, like a lighter tasting ginseng tea.
The second and third brews had less flavor than the first, the third i believe is the end of flavor.
overall, im not too impressed.
Now say i had some good quality pu-erh (black), how would this differ from my description above?
more earthy flavor? or some other flavor I didn't get in my Whole Foods pu-erh?
also, does green pu-erh taste better?
Does the shu one brew up to a dark, opaque tea?t4texas wrote: Has anyone else tried these? Maybe I just have defective taste buds!

I have had the Puerhshop 2000 CNNP Bulk Mini Bricks, which are OK if you give them a solid rinse first, but I will not reorder them. I have been looking to replace some very nice mini tuos that I got a couple years ago from China Gifts but which are no longer in their stock, so I am excited about these.

Here's how RW members rated this race (104 votes).
In short: Well organised, fantastic marshalls, shame about the boring course,In full: Too many loops in the course which is a shame considering the massive coastline that could be used. A multi-lap course would have been better than the course used.Date of review: March 6, 2015
In short: Coastal headwind twisty up and down agony lifted by superb marshaling!In full: Honestly? I Personally found this tough and would rather do a full marathon than this course again. as with all Thanet run events the organising and marshalling was top draw, every fluro vest I passed had words of encouragement or some tongue in cheek banter.. my favourite was "cart horse" that's exactly how I felt! took me a mile to stop smiling!The Kent Coastal Marathon in September will be better.Date of review: March 2, 2015
In short: We love this race , The organisers have made this a must do for spring marathon trainingDate of review: March 2, 2015
In short: Coastal winds make this race even more challengingDate of review: March 2, 2015
In short: Great race-challenging but interesting routeIn full: Great race, well organised and great support from all the marshalls, lost count but there must have been a marshall every 1/4mile. The route was perfect, and included some nice coastal sights and the white cliffs and beaches. Wasn't expecting the hills but this only added to interesting route and build up to a spring marathon.I'll definitely be coming back and bringing freindsDate of review: March 2, 2015
In short: Perfect Spring Marathon prep!In full: Big thanks as ever to everybody at TRRC for yesterdays race. Went round in a bit under 2.43 and was well happy with that. The breeze was challenging to say the least, but there was great spirit between the runners and all the helpers who were fantastic.Thanks again and see you next year.Date of review: March 2, 2015
In short: Yet again a great race Thanet!In full: Brilliantly organised, lovely views and a real test ahead of any spring marathon. Was gutted that 2014's race didn't happen and delighted that it's come back and better than before. Great marshalls and lots of water stations throughout and helpful chip timing guys, excellent goody bad and fab medal at the end making it all worthwhile.I really struggled this year and couldn't have been happier that the field that we run round in 2013 was cut out of the equation!Will be back for sure next year as will many of my club (Dartford Road Runners).Date of review: March 2, 2015
In short: well organised, enjoyable 20 milerIn full: A superbly organised event with plenty of enthusiastic marshals and lots of water stations. Its a rolling course and perfect as a marathon prep. run. I really enjoyed the course, i especially liked the fact we saw our fellow competitors at the turn around so 10/10 from me :)Date of review: March 2, 2015
In short: A great part of a VLM or Brighton training planIn full: Excellent and slickly organised Thanet 20 mile race. The marshalls, water stations and route were all first class. You can really tell this was organised by runners for runners. Well done and thank you Thanet Roadrunners AC. Perhaps next year you could turn down the coastal wind and then it would be truly perfect!.Date of review: March 2, 2015
In short: Brilliant organisation and marshals - ridiculously good valueIn full: Thanet Roadrunners always put on well organised but challenging events. Run by runners for runners. Everything was really slick. Plenty of bottled water stations, really supportive marshals and a very well organised finish with chip timings, quality technical t shirt, great medal and healthy dog bag. There was good medical cover and such supportive marshals at the finish. Brilliant effort Thanet. Been told this was the first race for the race director. One to be proud of. Bit less wind next year please!!!Date of review: March 1, 2015

Mark,I know that some pizza operators add active dry yeast directly to the flour, as you apparently did, but it is rare and I am not sure that the operators even know (or care) that the active dry yeast should be proofed in water before using. They may be relying on warm water or machine friction heat in conjunction with the water to effectively "proof" the yeast.
Bacon,It is always a pleasure to read your posts. I have missed your compelling images of pizza and beer. It was a hot summer in Florida and I often thought about trying to make a homemade batch of brew to go along with Raquel.Pie looks delicious by the way.

Norma,I hope you like the walnut raisin bread from Jim Lahey's bakery. For many years I spent Thanksgiving in NYC and would stop by the bakery before heading for the airport to buy that particular bread. It was one of my favorites.You didn't say all that much about Joe's pizza. Can you critique it for us, and also compare it with your own NY style pizzas?You grandson is a handsome lad.Peter
wow Norma !! that bulk dough pic is worth $$$ !! very nice recap, thanks for all the details... ill be in FL from the 22DEC to 09JAN, if i get a good deal for tickets i am dying to go to NY... you just made me want to go even more....
I do really like the walnut raisin bread from Jim Laheys bakery, but I think the loaf I purchased was baked a little too much. Did your bread you purchased ever look as dark as the picture I posted.? I sliced the walnut raisin bread this morning and had some slices. This is a picture of the slices. Do you have any idea how Jim Laheys bakery makes their pan pizzas? They were delicious and so crunchy on the bottom. I never experienced a pizza like that before.
Norma,The crusts of the walnut raisin breads that I purchased from Jim Lahey's bakery were on the dark side but not quite as dark as yours. At one point after one of my visits to NYC, I attempted my own version of a Sullivan Street walnut raisin bread, as I discussed at Reply 56 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,4114.msg42660.html#msg42660. Unlike the Lahey bakery, that uses some commercial yeast for their sourdough products, I use only a natural preferment. If you ever find yourself going to the Sullivan Street bakery in a future visit, you might also pick up some H&H bagels from their bakery (http://www.hhbagels.com/) that is only a few blocks away from the Sullivan Street bakery. That was my other stop before heading for the airport.I do not have any idea as to how the Sullivan Street bakery makes its pan/sheet pizzas.Peter
Thank you Norma, I feel like I visited the city myself.
A couple of the pics brightened up a little and sharpened. In a car in bad light and they still came out as good as they did? Not a bad camera at all.....and a good steady hold. Loving the under the bridge shots too!
@andreI think the pic of the Keste dough is proofed dough balls (judging from the faint lines that show between "squares" of dough).
aaah, street meat, so yummy. I miss NY so much, and your photos made me feel like I was there. Thanks Norma!
+1 For me also!
I may go to NYC for the holidays ( only 20 min for ME to the bridge) again this year. after seeing those great pics Thanks Norma! and what kind of Keste pie was that that blogger touched up? I am drooling!! Great work ! Have a great thanksgiving!! Very Cute Grandson too he must have been fascinated!John
@andre I agree with you. Looks like individual panetti, which have relaxed by quite a bit and will need to be cut out to make individual pizza (a usual event). I see some definite big bubbles here and am wondering what time of the day Norma was there....looks like the dough is potentially getting near the end of its optimal window of usability?
Roberto also asked me where I lived. I told him in Pa. He said he operated a pizza business in Pittsburgh at one time. Does anyone know what pizza business he operated?Norma
From Slice: http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2009/03/keste-pizza-vino-roberto-caporuscio-greenwich-village-manhattan-nyc.htmlPrior to Kesté, Caporuscio was the founding pizzaiolo of A Mano in Ridgewood, New Jersey, which he came to in 2007 after opening and running two restaurants in PittsburghRegina Margherita and Roberto's.
I didnt post much about Joes pizza because it tasted just like any average pizza I can buy around my area. As can be seen on the pictures I posted the crust is more dense and bready. In my opinion the crust had a slightly sweet taste to it. The cheese and mozzarella on the slice I purchased were just average. I like a better mozzarella and sauce. I find with each pizza I taste, they all taste a little different. As far as comparing it to the pizzas I make at market, I like the Preferment Lehmann dough a lot better. There were people inside of Joes purchasing pizza. There are so many pizza places in NYC to try.
Thanks for your thoughts on Joe's Norma. It appears that the dreaded restaurant apathy monster has finally reared it's ugly head and plunged Joe's into an oblivion of mediocrity. During the decade or so that I was going there, it hadn't dropped too much in quality, but that was before they were featured in the movie Spiderman. I'm guessing that with that much publicity, apathy was inevitable.The interior photo was very telling. It may seem like a decent amount of customers, but, compared to it's heyday, that's downright empty. For the most part (DiFara's is one notable exception), you can pretty much always judge the quality of pies a pizzeria is putting out by the number of customers it has.Edit: Btw, there's lot's of info on making Sullivan St. Bakery's pizza at home. Lahey even has the recipe in his book. I believe it's his typical high hydration/no knead process. Lahey (and Bittman) put no knead on the map.
@cornicione54, for sure individual dough balls, they are so proofed that they almost came together... still a $ shot !

I saw something today during my shift in the cafe that surprised & disappointed me. A fellow volunteer came in and ordered a coffee. Then they started raking through the tips plate for change before paying. They hadn't done a shift nor were they due to work today, as far as I could tell.
Now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt & they were going to put the money back in when they had more cash on them. Even if that is the case, was it the right thing to do? I debated about posting this but it kept gnawing away at me.
What do others think?

Animal lovers recognize February as National Pet Dental Health Month, but a recent report suggests that residents of certain states need to pay closer attention to their dogs' teeth every day of the year. Recent research found that pets in Minnesota had the worst oral health, ZooToo Pet News reports.
The study ranked the top 15 states based on how many pets were diagnosed with dental disease in 2011. In Minnesota, 69 percent of dogs and 73 percent of cats at animal hospitals were diagnosed with dental disease. Utah ranked as the second worse state for pet dental health.
However, Minnesota, Utah and the other states on the list are not particularly out of the ordinary. A study by the American Animal Hospital Association found that about two-thirds of pet owners do not provide the recommended dental care to their pets, and as many as 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3. This can lead to other, more serious types of dog and cat illness.
You and your pet can avoid becoming one of these statistics by preventing periodontal disease in your pet. This is the most common form of dental issues and is caused by an accumulation of tartar and calculus on the teeth, which then causes gum recession. The best way to prevent this is to brush your dog or cat's teeth on a regular basis with pet toothpaste. There are also certain toys and chews that can reduce or delay the build up of tartar.

1. It's antimicrobial!
Storing contaminated water in copper for up to 16 hours at room temperature considerably reduces the presence of the harmful microbes, so much that the researchers inferred that "copper holds promise as a point-of-use solution for microbial purification of drinking-water.
An additional study from university of south carolina researchers explored the purifying power of copper, finding that "antimicrobial copper surfaces in intensive care units (icu) kill 97% of bacteria that can cause hospital-acquired infections," resulting in a 40% reduction in the risk of acquiring an infection. The research was done in a hospital icu. The research found that the rooms with copper-surfaced objects had less than half the infection incidence than those rooms without copper.
2. It's a great brain stimulant.
Our brain works by transmitting impulses from one neuron to another through an area known as the synapses. These neurons are covered by a sheath called the myelin sheath that acts like a sort of conductive agent – helping the flow of impulses. How does copper figure here you ask? well, copper actually helps in the synthesis of phospholipids that are essential for the formation of these myelin sheaths. Thereby, making your brain work much faster and more efficiently. Apart from that copper is also known to have anti-convulsive properties (prevents seizures).
3. It aids in weight loss.
If diet just doesn't seem to be helping you lose weight, try drinking water stored in a copper vessel on a regular basis. Apart from fine tuning your digestive system to perform better, copper also helps your body break down fat and eliminate it more efficiently.
4. It slows down aging.
If you are worried about the appearance of fine lines, copper is your natural remedy! packed with very strong anti-oxidant and cell forming properties, copper fights off free radicals – one of the main reasons for the formation of fine lines – and helps in the production of new and healthy skin cells that replace old dying ones.
5. Copper has anti-inflammatory properties and helps in arthritis and other inflammatory pains. This asset is especially great to relieve aches and pains caused due to inflamed joints. In addition to that, copper also has bone and immune system strengthening properties, making it the perfect remedy for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
6. It can fight off cancer.
Copper has very strong antioxidant properties that helps fight off free radicals and negate their ill effects – one of the main reasons for the development of cancer. According to the american cancer society the exact mechanism of how copper helps prevent the onset of cancer is still not known but some studies have shown that copper complexes have a considerable anti-cancer effect.
In many cases; divorce and separation leads not only to bad blood between the parents, but also in a child alienating himself from one parent. Insulting or belittling one parent without justification or under pressure from the other parent is known as parental alienation syndrome. Parental alienation involves one parent undermining the other and interfering with the child's relationship with the other parent by limiting contact with them, bad mouthing them, forbidding discussion about them etc. This can have a very negative effect on the child's emotional state.
1. Self hatred: For children, hatred is not inborn, but developed by the situations they are in. By bad mouthing a parent and teaching the child to hate the parent, the child himself is harmed. With time, he begins to internalize this hatred and believe that there is something wrong with him that made the alienated parent not want him.
2. Low self esteem: When a child is not allowed to speak his mind and has to bottle up his thoughts, he becomes socially withdrawn. Often the child begins to feel that he is the cause for the rift in the family and makes himself responsible for the separation. This intensifies with time and makes the child lose confidence in himself leading to low self esteem.
3. Lack of trust: When a child is suddenly pulled away from one parent and told how that parent is not a 'good person' the child is likely to feel betrayed. This creates a sense of doubt in the child's mind and makes it difficult for him to trust other people. As he grows up, this can affect his own adult relationships as well.
4. Depression: Depression is a commonly seen in children from broken homes and this is intensified in cases of parental alienation. It is rooted in the child's feeling unloved by either one of the parents and built up by the separation. Not being given a chance to speak about their feelings or talk about the situation makes them more depressed and they begin to withdraw into themselves. In many cases, it is noted that alienated children have strained relationships with their own children as well.
5. Substance abuse: Depression is one of the most common triggers for substance abuse. Alienated children often feels trapped and that they have no outlet to vent their feelings and frustrations. This often makes them turn towards drugs for relief and can make them victims of substance abuse.

A lime may be one of the smallest things when you go shopping for fruits and vegetable shopping, but it is one of the richest. The health benefits that a lime carries are just too many, and it packs in too much of goodness. While the vitamin C is what immediately comes to our mind, there is more to it. Read on to know some of the most common benefits of the small, powerful lemon.
- A powerhouse of essential vitamins and minerals: A lime is a source of various vitamins and minerals, including potassium which is essential for heart health, good nerve function, and maintaining blood pressure levels. It also reduces cancer as it contains antioxidants and bioflavonoids.
- Fights infection: We all know lime to be very good at fighting cold and cough. Not just that. It even is useful in more severe infections like cholera and E.coli infections. As cholera is transmitted by food, adding lime to foods helps prevent this transmission.
- Heart healthy: Lime is rich in antioxidants which keep the arteries healthy and improve blood circulation. They also reduce the buildup of plaque in the walls of the arteries. This also reduces hardening of the arteries, reduces the onset of blood pressure, and improves overall heart health. Including lime peel and lime oil in the diet can provide these benefits.
- Drink to your health: Starting the morning with a glass of lime juice (with some honey added to taste) can be the best way to start the day. It provides energy and boosts you to begin the day like nothing else can.
- Glowing skin and hair: After squeezing out the juice from the lime, rub the lime onto your face and see the skin glowing. If that sounds not feasible, apply lime oil to your face to keep the skin elastic and youthful. Applying lime to the hair is a natural way to keep the hair shiny and black.
- Moving the joints: Uric acid can accumulate in the joints and cause bone pain and discomfort. Citric acid from the lime ensures this uric acid accumulation is reduced, thereby reducing gout and inflammation.
- Weight loss: The citric acid is an excellent fat burner, and drinking two glasses of warm lime water per day can show obvious results in a week's time.
- Add fragrance to your food: Lemon oil which is made from the peel can be used as a good flavouring agent to many dishes including curries and pickles. While the tanginess is not considerable like using a full lime, it still gives the fragrance and flavour of a lime.
With these benefits, the next time you go vegetable shopping, don't forget to throw in a couple of lemons.

Guantanamo retrospective
President Barack Obama mentioned closing the military prison at Guantanamo Bay for the first time in a State of the Union speech since he took office.
"With the Afghan war ending, this needs to be the year Congress lifts the remaining restrictions on detainee transfers and we close the prison at Guantanamo Bay," Obama said in his speech Tuesday, which largely focused on economic inequality. "We counter terrorism not just through intelligence and military action, but by remaining true to our constitutional ideals and setting an example for the rest of the world." (Yahoo News)

Inauguration crowds are looking puny compared to Women's March crowds
Sorry, Trump, but these Women's March crowds are YUGE. Ladies from around the world got in formation to take part in the Women's March on Washington following Trump's inauguration, and the crowds are downright bigly. With attendance projections for the D.C. March now at over 500,000, many can't help but compare today's attendance to Friday's underwhelming inauguration numbers. SEE ALSO: Who pulled the bigger crowd: Trump or Obama? While hundreds of thousands did show up to watch Trump be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on Friday, visible empty bleachers and photos of Obama's packed 2009 inauguration ceremony,which had an estimated turnout of around 1.8 million, proved Trump's gathering was far from record setting. The March reportedly led to 1,000 more busses being booked than on Trump's big day, and photographs and video from today's events show D.C. bombarded with an overwhelming number of attendees. Though official inauguration numbers are unknown, the gorgeous sea of pink Pussyhats assembling at today's March certainly appeared to trump the president's crowds.

One of the largest icebergs ever seen is even closer to breaking off Antarctica
Just 6.4 miles of ice are holding an iceberg the size of Delaware onto the floating Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica, and scientists warn it could cleave off the ice-bound continent at any time. Researchers who closely monitor the crack cutting across this particular Antarctic ice shelf reported on Thursday that it continued to make rapid progress, expanding another six miles in just the past two weeks. SEE ALSO: An iceberg the size of Delaware is about to break off Antarctica This means that a collapse may be imminent, at which point, one of the top 10 largest icebergs ever observed will break away into the turbulent seas off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Scientists affiliated with a group that has been tracking the ice melt in this area, known as Project MIDAS, say the iceberg could measure 5,000 square kilometers, or 1,930 square miles. The rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, including the 6-mile extension in the past two weeks. Image: Project midas/nasa Scientists are worried that the calving event — which refers to the breaking off of the iceberg from the ice shelf — could speed up the disintegration of the broader shelf and land-based ice that lies behind it. "When it calves, the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10 percent of its area to leave the ice front at its most retreated position ever recorded; this event will fundamentally change the landscape of the Antarctic Peninsula," researcher Adrian Luckman wrote in a blog post. "We have previously shown that the new configuration will be less stable than it was prior to the rift, and that Larsen C may eventually follow the example of its neighbor Larsen B, which disintegrated in 2002 following a similar rift-induced calving event," Luckman wrote. Larsen B Ice Shelf prior to the breakup in 2002. Image: NASA Larsen B Ice Shelf after its breakup in 2002. Image: nasa The researchers found that the rift which had been progressing episodically across the floating ice shelf suddenly grew by 11.2 miles, or 18 kilometers, during the second half of December, leaving only 12.4 miles left connecting the iceberg to its parent ice shelf. On Thursday, that length declined to 6.4 miles of ice remaining fully intact, which puts the ice shelf in an even more tenuous position. Scientists are not sure exactly when the iceberg will break free, but they think it will occur soon. The length and width of the crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf over time. Image: Project midas "We expect that the iceberg will break free within the next few months, although it's hard to be certain about timing," Martin O'Leary, a researcher at Swansea University in the U.K. who studies the Larsen C Ice Shelf as part of the MIDAS team, told Mashable in an email on Jan. 6. Rifts like this are a natural phenomenon, but such large ones are rare, scientists say. They can destabilize larger parts of ice shelves and land-based ice sheets by exposing more ice to mild ocean waters and air temperatures. This has been happening in parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, but it is not guaranteed to happen with Larsen C. The Larsen C Ice Shelf is the most northerly of the remaining major Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves. This part of Antarctica has been warming rapidly in recent years, and the shelf is being undermined from below by warming ocean waters, as well as from above by increasing air temperatures. View is of a rift in the Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen C ice shelf from our airborne survey of polar ice: https://t.co/VgjxopHHLI @NASA_ICE pic.twitter.com/gt5mpHqbxn — NASA (@NASA) December 3, 2016 In 2002, Larsen C's neighbor, known as the Larsen B Ice Shelf, disintegrated entirely after a series of similar rift-induced calving events. The Larsen B calving event was featured in the opening scenes of the sci-fi climate change-related disaster film, The Day After Tomorrow . Sea level rise implications Floating ice shelves don't raise sea levels when they disintegrate or lose large icebergs. This is because their ice is already resting in the ocean, like an ice cube in a glass. However, because they act like doorstops to the land-based ice behind them, when the shelves give way, the land-based glaciers can start sliding into the sea in a process that's difficult (if not impossible) to stop, long-term. It adds new water to the ocean — therefore, increasing sea levels. The entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by another 10 to 15 feet if it were all to melt. This process would likely take centuries, however, though sea level rise is already accelerating worldwide as glaciers melt and ocean temperatures increase.

Britain's May faces pressure after reports of Trident test malfunction
A test firing of an unarmed British nuclear Trident missile from a submarine malfunctioned last June, the Sunday Times reported, prompting questions about why Prime Minister Theresa May did not tell parliament ahead of a vote on renewing the submarines. It was the only test firing of a British nuclear missile in four years and came shortly before May became prime minister in the wake of Britain's vote last June to leave the European Union, the paper said. It said May had omitted any mention of the failed test when she persuaded parliament to spend 40 billion pounds ($49.5 billion) on new Trident submarines in her first major speech to parliament as prime minister last July.Reuters

Barack and Michelle Obama send their first post-inauguration tweets
It's been a veeeery emotional day for America. Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, which means the now-former POTUS and FLOTUS, the great Barack and Michelle, had to step down after eight blissful years in the White House. SEE ALSO: Celebrities flood Instagram with final 'Thanks, Obama' posts As Obama said in a speech following the inauguration, he and Michelle have been "milking" their goodbyes, but we wouldn't have it any other way. From Michelle's emotional final Instagram posts and the touching final wave Barack gave us before boarding a chopper to leave D.C., the couple has been making us reach for the tissues all week long. Now, hours after the inauguration ceremony, Barack and Michelle have sent the first tweets on their personal Twitter accounts since officially exchanging handles with the Trumps. Michelle, gracious as always, used her first post-inauguration tweet to inform us she would be taking a little break after an "extraordinary" eight years. But have no fear, she assured her followers she'll be "back before you know it" to work on the important issues. After an extraordinary 8 years, I'll be taking a little break. Will be back before you know it to work with you on the issues we care about. pic.twitter.com/o0ECJitXnw — Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 20, 2017 The former POTUS also made his triumphant return, complete with a beautiful dad joke, of course. Barack gave his Twitter page a complete makeover, including new photos and an updated bio, which now reads: Dad, husband, President, citizen. He informed his followers he and Michelle are embarking on a (much-deserved) vacation to Palm Springs. Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we'll get back to work. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 20, 2017 He also encouraged American citizens to share their thoughts and concerns about "the road ahead" in a second tweet, providing a link to The Obama Foundation's website. In the meantime, I want to hear what you're thinking about the road ahead. So share your ideas with me here: https://t.co/GYkEOK8EuT — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 20, 2017 We knew Barack and Michelle would keep in touch.

HighTech Information System (HIS), a maker of graphics cards based on ATI Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs), is expected to showcase graphics boards featuring two Radeon X1600 XT graphics processors at Computex Taipei 2006 show in
HIS' dual-GPU Radeon X1600 XT graphics card will employ a special TLX bridge chip that will connect the chips between each other and the system. Similar bridge is used by Nvidia Corp. on its dual-GeForce 7900 GT graphics cards. However, while Nvidia may promote its yet-to-be-released GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards as the most-powerful single graphics products, dual-Radeon X1600 XT will hardly achieve performance of the Radeon X1900 GTO, which retails for $299.
HIS Gemini Radeon X1600 XT board will sport two Radeon X1600 XT chips with 590MHz clock-speed, 256MB of 1380MHz GDDR3 memory per processor, two dual-link DVI outputs, single-slot dual-fan cooling system, according to HKEPC web-site.
Pricing of dual-GPU Radeon X1600 XT product remains unknown. Earlier this year GeCube planned to sell its graphics board with two Radeon X1600 XT chips for $399, later on, the company reconsidered its plans, but did not set any concrete price-points. Now that the Radeon X1900 GTO with 36 pixel shader processors, 12 texture units and 8 vertex shader processors released with recommended price of $299, the dual-chip Radeon X1600 XT should retail at a lower cost, if the manufacturers want such a product, which boasts with 24 pixel shader processors, 8 texture units and 10 vertex shader processors, to be successful.
Neither ATI, nor HIS, commented on the news-story.

ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, said on Wednesday that its ATI Radeon graphics adapters conform to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) first DisplayPort certification. The VESA DisplayPort Certified logo should assure customers that DisplayPort products interoperate and provide problem free experience.
The certification has been awarded to the ATI Radeon HD 3400, ATI Radeon HD 3600 and ATI Radeon HD 3800 graphics products, and the AMD 780G integrated graphics chipset.
"AMD is proud to be recognized with the selection of the ATI Radeon HD 3000 series and AMD 780G integrated graphics chipset as the first certified source devices for DisplayPort. This certification gives PC consumers next-generation display capabilities today," said Matt Skynner, vice president of marketing, Graphics Products Group, AMD.
The DisplayPort is designed to enable a common interface approach across both internal and external display connections. Internal connections include display interfaces within a notebook PC or within an LCD display. External display connections include the interface between a source device such as a desktop PC, set-top box, DVD player or game console, and a display device such as a direct view flat panel or projection display for viewing video and graphics. The DisplayPort standard will also include an optional digital audio capability allowing streaming of high definition digital audio-video content over the interface, and provides performance scalability to enable the next generation of displays featuring higher color depths, refresh rates, and display resolutions.
DisplayPort incorporates a Main Link, a high-bandwidth, low-latency, unidirectional connection supporting isochronous stream transport. One stream video with associated audio is supported in Version.1.0, but DisplayPort is seamlessly extensible, enabling support of multiple video streams. Version 1.0 also includes an Auxiliary Channel to provide consistent-bandwidth, low-latency, bi-directional connectivity with Main Link management, and device control based on VESA's E-DDC, E-EDID, DDC/CI and MCCS standards. The Link configuration enables true "Plug-and-Play". The Main Link bandwidth enables data transfer at up to 10.8Gb/s using a total of four lanes.
DisplayPort 1.1 adds support for high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) version 1.3 and also provides for low voltage and low power operation, and enables improved interoperability and reduced EMI through its embedded clock architecture.
Earlier this month Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) announced that Allion Test Labs, via its Taiwan facility, has been approved to offer compliance testing for the DisplayPort standard. Allion is the first test center approved to test DisplayPort products to ensure that they meet the DisplayPort standard requirements. Compliant products are able to display the DisplayPort Certified Logo. This logo that tells consumers the products have been tested to meet the DisplayPort standard. All compliant products will be listed at Displayport.org. At press time there were no AMD products listed on the official web-site of DisplayPort.

Today, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Tanzania, the third visit of a trip that also includes stops in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Zambia, and Ethiopia. During her travel to the U.A.E., Secretary Clinton participated in a meeting of the Libya Contact Group, where she said:
"...Our coalition remains united and committed. We reaffirmed there is only one way forward for Libya, attacks against civilians must stop, Qadhafi must go, and the Libyan people deserve to determine their own future. We continued our ongoing dialogue about steps we can take to protect the Libyan people, pressure Qadhafi to hasten his departure, and lay the groundwork for a successful transition to a unified, democratic, Libya. On each of these goals, we are making progress and we have increased the pressure on Qadhafi. But as long as he continues his attacks on his own people, our military mission to protect them will continue."
In Zambia, Secretary Clinton visited Lusaka's University Teaching Hospital Paediatric Centre of Excellence, met with participants in the African Women's Entrepreneurship Program (AWEP), and celebrated the launch of the U.S.-Zambia Chamber of Commerce. The Secretary also addressed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum, the only annual U.S. government ministerial meeting with Sub-Saharan Africa.
AGOA was signed into law in 2000 as part of the U.S. Trade and Development Act, and offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets. It provides a framework for government-to-government, private sector, and civil society to work together to build trade capacity and to expand business linkages between the United States and Africa.
The 2011 AGOA Forum brought together over 1,600 participants, including senior government officials, as well as and private sector and civil society representatives. U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Ron Kirk attended the Forum, where he announced a U.S. commitment of up to $30 million per year for four years to support trade expansion in Africa. U.S. Deputy Coordinator for Development for Feed the Future Julie Howard, who accompanied USTR Kirk, participated to address food security issues.
In her remarks at the AGOA Forum, Secretary Clinton addressed a wide-ranging agenda for strengthening the business environment in Africa and focused on two groups of entrepreneurs, young people, and women. Secretary Clinton said:
"...This year, for the first time, a group of young entrepreneurs is joining us, and I want to welcome them and tell them how much we need their energy and their ideas. You really are the future. People say that all the time. It happens to be true. You have the biggest stake in our success here. What you do will largely determine Africa's economic growth curve. ...By 2025, which is not that far away now, one in every four young people in the world will live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Now, that fact alone has profound and far-reaching implications for Africa's future. We have been seeing what happens when young people feel their governments do not meet their needs. Across the Middle East and North Africa, the Arab Spring is being led by young people, young people in Tunisia, in Egypt, and across the region are demanding not just more democracy but more economic opportunity. They say, look, we've studied, I'm willing to work hard, and yet there's nothing for me here. Creating opportunity and protecting freedoms for young people deserves our urgent attention."
Advancing opportunities for young people and women was at the center of several other initiatives over the last week. Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats addressed recent efforts to foster the talents of young people in the Middle East and North Africa, while Ambassador David T. Killion spotlighted UNESCO initiatives to advance educational opportunities for women and girls. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)-funded projects are providing new economic opportunities for women in the South Pacific, while U.S. Consulate employees are joining young people in Hong Kong to promote conservation and sustainability. In Vancouver, over 8,000 gathered at the Association of International Educators' 63rd annual NAFSA conference to identify new trends in international education and advance study abroad opportunities.
The Tech@State team hosted a conference in Washington to examine how "serious games" can unlock human potential through play. Meanwhile, Secretary Clinton unveiled the Women's World Cup Initiative, a program that seeks to empower women and girls through soccer. Demonstrating the opportunities sports diplomacy presents, the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua's week-long soccer clinic captivated the attention of 50 coaches and nearly 500 boys and girls. The Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues shared how the Small Grants Initiative program is making a great impact in changing girls' and women's lives in Nicaragua, Suriname, and Belize.
Maternal and child health was at the forefront of discussions at the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDs in New York. Ambassador Eric Goosby, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, reflected on progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2002, fewer than 50,000 people had access to treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, launched in 2003, now supports treatment for over 3.2 million people, the vast majority of whom live in Africa. PEPFAR also supports over 3.8 million orphans and vulnerable children, giving them a chance at education, nutrition, and a better life. In New York, Ambassador Goosby also announced a bold new plan to eliminate pediatric HIV transmission.
In other news, President Barack Obama hosted German Chancellor Angela Merkel for an official visit and State Dinner at the White House. Secretary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and Dr. Jill Biden hosted Chancellor Merkel at the State Department, and President Obama honored Chancellor Merkel with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor. President Obama said, "...We honor Angela Merkel not for being denied her freedom, or even for attaining her freedom, but for what she achieved when she gained her freedom. Determined to finally have her say, she entered politics -- rising to become the first East German to lead a united Germany, the first woman chancellor in German history, and an eloquent voice for human rights and dignity around the world."
In Washington, Secretary Clinton convened the Partners for a New Beginning Summit to broaden and deepen engagement between the United States and international Muslim communities by building public-private partnerships that advance economic opportunity, science and technology, education, and exchange. Secretary Clinton also met with French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe at the Department of State, where they discussed events in the Middle East, North Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, and Afghanistan.
In Afghanistan, a group of Americans from the U.S. West recently traveled to Ghor and Kabul to share their horse culture and music with Afghan chapandaz and students. During the last decade, Afghanistan has made dramatic development achievements. The U.S. Agency for International Development's J. Alexander Thier wrote, "Access to basic health services has rocketed from nine percent to 64 percent. Under the Taliban, only 900,000 boys and almost no girls were enrolled in schools, while today, more than seven million children are enrolled in schools, 35 percent of whom are girls. Afghanistan has averaged 10 percent per year economic growth, is using a single, stable currency, and government revenues have grown to $1.65 billion, with a 400 percent increase in customs revenues since 2006 alone. With gross domestic product (GDP) per capita doubling since 2002, some five million people have been lifted out of extreme poverty."
On June 5-7, 2011, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William J. Burns led the U.S. delegation to the 41st Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly in El Salvador. Under Secretary Burns welcomed the reintegration of Honduras in the OAS.
On June 7-8, 2011, the U.S. Department of State joined Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai, and Limelight Networks and other major organizations in offering their content over IPv6. Internet Protocol (IP) is the set of rules computers use to transmit data over the Internet. The existing protocol supporting the Internet today -- Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) -- provides the world with only 4 billion IP addresses, inherently limiting the number of devices that can be given a unique, globally routable location on the Internet. IPv6 provides the world with an almost unlimited number of available IP addresses, as well as significantly enhanced mobility features. The goal of this "test date" was to motivate organizations across the industry to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out. With the expected success of this test, the State Department will be well-placed to make the permanent transition to IPv6 in 2012.
On June 14, 2011, you can join Assistant Secretary Eric Schwartz and George Rupp, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, for a discussion on helping the world's refugees. In the meantime, I encourage you to read the compelling and heartfelt stories of State Department employees who were once refugees themselves. Adela Levis, Martina Strong, and Dara Yin recount how their experiences inspired their lives of public service. We are grateful to them for their service, and will be sharing more stories from other former refugees in the coming days. In the meantime, we thank our readers for your comments and feedback, and look forward to hearing from you in the week ahead.

Been noticing lately that the audio/visual feed on DoS main page is doing strange things, like the videos try to restart, audio repeats itself out of sync, as picture locks up.
I'm not having this problem on any other site so I must conclude it's not internal to my box's ability to process streaming video.
It almost acts like the video is trying to play twice at the same time...you might want to have the IT guy's see if they get the same issue when they try to watch one and see if they can address it, thanks.

IPv4 Exhaustion
In February 2011, IANA allocated two large blocks of IPv4 address space to APNIC, causing the global IPv4 pool to deplete to a critically low level. This triggered a previously agreed upon global policy, "Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space". Each RIR then received one /8 each, which is around 16.8 million IPv4 addresses, depleting IANA's pool of available IPv4 address space.
The RIRs and IPv4 Exhaustion
As of September 2014, three of the five RIRs, APNIC, LACNIC and the RIPE NCC, were already allocating IPv4 address space from the last /8 they received from the IANA. ARIN is expected to exhaust its supply and start allocating from the last /8 it received from IANA before the end of 2014. IPv4 address space that is being allocated from the last /8 is distributed according to special regional policies developed by each RIR community.
Organisations in the APNIC and RIPE NCC service regions are unable to obtain large amounts of IPv4 address space to cover their actual needs and can obtain a one-time small allocation to ensure network continuity while deploying IPv6 networks. Existing and emerging networks in these regions face scalability issues unless they deploy IPv6 in order to ensure long-term network growth and global connectivity.
IPv4 at AFRINIC
AFRINIC is now the only RIR with a non-critically low supply of IPv4 address space. However, consumption rates in the region are increasing rapidly and there is no way to predict future consumption. Africa has one of the world's highest rates of mobile Internet users and a huge population of future Internet users waiting to get online. More and more IP addresses will be needed to facilitate Internet access across the region. As the supply of IPv4 address space continues to dwindle, new connections will increasingly be made over IPv6 as opposed to IPv4, especially in those regions where IPv4 address space is already scarce.
IPv6 – Why Now?
By design, computers using IPv4 and IPv6 cannot communicate directly with each other. Devices connecting to the Internet with only an IPv4 address cannot communicate with devices that are connecting with only an IPv6 address. In order to ensure that networks continue to run seamlessly and all devices around the world can continue to communicate with each other, IPv6 must be deployed in parallel with IPv4. This means that IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist and be operated in parallel for the time it takes to fully deploy IPv6 on a global scale.
This chart shows the percentage of networks (Autonomous Systems - ASes) that announce an IPv6 prefix for a specified list of countries or groups of countries.
Source: RIPE NCC
Transition Mechanisms
To facilitate this period of coexistence and to ensure that the Internet remains reachable to all during the shift towards an IPv6 Internet, the technical community has developed a number of transition mechanisms to bridge the gap.
Deploy IPv6 Now
The future of the Internet is over IPv6 and, unless African networks and businesses also transition, they risk becoming isolated from the global Internet. As the rest of the world moves to IPv6, Africa has to make sure its networks, devices, services and content are IPv6 ready to remain an active global player.
IPv6 Support, Training and Information for Africa
AFRINIC has been leading the effort in the region to promote and support IPv6 deployment since 2005 through outreach, education, free training courses and provision of an IPv6 test bed. Find out more about IPv6 and what you can do to kick-start your IPv6 deployment plans:
