Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of locally-purchased apple juice and grape juice and found that 10 percent of the samples had total arsenic levels that exceeded federal drinking-water standards of 10 parts per billion (ppb) and 25 percent of the samples had lead levels higher than the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) bottled-water limit of 5 ppb. Most of the arsenic detected in Consumer Reports' tests was a type known as inorganic, a human carcinogen.
The FDA announced in a November 21st letter to consumer advocacy groups Food & Water Watch and Empire State Consumer Project that it is seriously considering setting guidance for permissible levels of inorganic arsenic in apple juice and that it is gathering data to determine what an appropriate level would be. The agency also discussed its previously undisclosed test results of eight apple juice samples analyzed around 2008 through 2011 that showed levels of total arsenic of up to 45 ppb. These samples had not been reported when the FDA stated in September 2011 amid public controversy that apple juice consumption poses little or no risk. Of the 160 samples reported on by the FDA Toxic Elements Food and Foodware Program, which include the eight samples previously undisclosed, 5 percent had total arsenic levels that exceeded 23 ppb. This is the threshold that the FDA has previously used for further investigation.
Consumer Reports also analyzed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data on total urinary arsenic of participants who reported their food and drink consumption for 24 hours the day before being tested. To ensure the most accurate analysis, Consumer Reports excluded people who regularly ate seafood, since seafood is a major source of a form of arsenic that is generally considered to be nontoxic. The analysis showed that people who reported drinking apple or grape juice had, on average, about 20 percent higher levels of total urinary arsenic than those subjects who did not.
As a result of this testing and analysis, Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, believes that the federal government should establish a standard of 3 ppb for total arsenic and 5 ppb for lead in juice. In fact, 41 percent of the samples Consumer Reports tested met both thresholds.
The complete report is featured in the January 2012 issue of Consumer Reports magazine and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
"Our test findings of arsenic and lead in apple juice are in line with existing data from the Food and Drug Administration," said Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D., Director of Safety & Sustainability at Consumer Reports. "In fact, the agency has found higher levels of arsenic and lead in apple juice. We're concerned about the potential risks of exposure to these toxins especially for children who are particularly vulnerable because of their small body size and the amount of juice they regularly consume."
What Parents Can Do Now
Parents should limit their child's juice consumption. A Consumer Reports poll conducted as part of this investigation shows that children drink a lot of juice – 35 percent of children age five and younger drink juices exceeding pediatricians' recommendations. The American Academy of Pediatrics has set up juice-consumption guidelines for children to help cut the risks of obesity and tooth decay; Consumer Reports believes the guidelines below should also be followed for reducing arsenic exposure:
· Avoid giving infants under six months any type of juice.
· Children up to six years old should consume no more than four to six ounces per day. Consumer Reports' poll also found that 26 percent of toddlers two and younger and 45 percent of children ages three to five drink seven or more ounces of juice a day
· Older children should drink no more than eight to 12 ounces a day.
Diluting juice with distilled or purified water can help parents achieve these goals. Additionally, Consumer Reports recommends that consumers check the water in their homes for arsenic and lead and consider using a water filter that removes these metals if elevated levels are found.
What the Government Should Do
Because the more harmful type of arsenic – inorganic – has been detected in other foods at high levels, more must be done to reduce overall dietary exposure.
· Federal officials should set a total arsenic standard of 3 ppb in juice and at least a 5 ppb limit for lead. Such standards appear to be achievable, and would better protect children who are most vulnerable to the effects of arsenic and lead.
· Eliminate use of arsenicals in animal feed.
· Ban all uses of organic arsenical pesticides.
· Prohibit use of arsenic-laden fertilizers in agriculture.
· The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should lower the 10 ppb drinking-water limit for arsenic.
Consumers Union's proposed juice standard of 3 ppb total arsenic would better ensure that a child who follows the American Academy of Pediatrics juice limit recommendations would not exceed his or her daily exposure limit for arsenic based on lung and bladder cancer risks.
"Our proposed limit of 3 ppb total arsenic accepts a lenient risk tolerance of one excess cancer for every 1,000 people. Safety limits based on a risk tolerance of one in a million people to no more than one in 10,000 are considered to be ideally protective of cancer risk. Three ppb total arsenic is a reasonable and practical limit that appears to be achievable at this time based on our findings," said Dr. Rangan.
Consumer Reports Tests and Findings
Consumer Reports purchased 28 apple juices and three grape juices from various locations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. A total of 88 samples tested were from ready-to-drink bottles, juice boxes, and cans of concentrate. To assess variability, samples were bought from three different lot numbers of most juices; for others, Consumer Reports bought samples from one or two lots because it was unable to find three. Findings showed that most of the total arsenic in the samples was inorganic, which is thought to be more harmful than organic arsenic.
· Five samples of apple juice and four samples of grape juice had total arsenic levels exceeding the 10 ppb federal limit for bottled and drinking water. In apple juice, arsenic levels ranged from 1.1 to 13.9 ppb; grape-juice levels were even higher, 5.9 to 24.7 ppb.
· In Consumer Reports' tests, the following brands had at least one sample of apple juice that exceeded 10 ppb: Apple & Eve, Great Value (Walmart), and Mott's. For grape juice, at least one sample from both Walgreens and Welch's exceeded that threshold.
The apple and grape juice samples were also tested for lead.
· About one-fourth of all juice samples had levels at or above the 5 ppb federal limit for bottled water. The top lead level for apple juice was 13.6 ppb and 15.9 ppb for grape juice.
· In Consumer Reports' tests, some brands had one or more samples of apple juice that exceeded 5 ppb for lead: America's Choice (A&P), Gerber, Gold Emblem (CVS), Great Value, Joe's Kids (Trader Joe's), Minute Maid, Seneca, and Walgreens. Grape juice from Gold Emblem, Walgreens, and Welch's each had at least one sample that contained lead levels in excess of 5 ppb.
A full chart that identifies total arsenic levels, including levels of inorganic and organic species, and lead levels for each tested sample can be found on www.ConsumerReports.org/juicebox.
Consumer Reports' findings provide a spot check of a number of local juice aisles, but cannot be used to draw general conclusions about arsenic or lead levels in any particular juice brand or type. Even within a single tested brand, levels of arsenic and lead sometimes varied widely.
A much bigger test would be needed to establish a link between elevated arsenic or lead levels and the juice concentrate's country of origin. Samples tested by Consumer Reports included some made from concentrate from multiple countries including Argentina, China, New Zealand, South Africa, and Turkey; others came from a single country including the U.S.
Why Arsenic is a Concern
Consumer Reports focused on arsenic levels primarily in apple juice due to the frequency and quantity that children typically drink. Arsenic is a naturally-occurring element that can contaminate groundwater used for drinking and irrigation in areas where it's abundant, such as parts of New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest. Although lead-arsenate insecticides were banned in the U.S. in the 1980s, their residue in soil can still contaminate crops. There are still allowed uses of organic arsenical pesticides.
When it binds to elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and chlorine, arsenic is referred to as inorganic, a known carcinogen linked to bladder, lung and, skin cancer and which may also increase risks of cardiovascular disease, immunodeficiencies, and type 2 diabetes. Arsenic also takes an organic form when it binds to molecules containing carbon. Fish can contain an organic form of arsenic called arsenobetaine, generally considered non-toxic to humans. But questions have been raised about the human health effects of other types of organic arsenic in food, including juice.
Arsenic's cancer potency has been grossly underestimated, previously only based on skin cancer risk and now based on combined lung and bladder cancer risk. The latest EPA draft report regarding inorganic arsenic carcinogenicity proposed that the number used to calculate the cancer risk from ingestion be increased 17-fold.

Nudity; it's our most base state, but it's also an on-going source of contention and unrest. The camera loves the nude form, and in turn, much of society loves to be outraged by it. In today's culture, a cinematic glimpse of an unclothed curve is considered more dangerous than bloody violence; a glimpse of the reproductive system can bring more unrest that the most shocking scandal.
But nudity on film is about a whole lot more than adult content, and filmmakers have been pushing the boundaries of nudity since the form's inception. What follows is a look into eight notable moments of nudity on film – glimpses that were more than just repetitively racy entertainment. Each moment has influenced how we view the human form. Read on, and share your own choices below, because in over a century of cinema, there are a whole lot more than eight notable moments of cinematic nudity.

Paul John Keating was the 24th Prime Minister of Australia, from 1991 to 1996. He came to prominence as the reformist Treasurer in the Hawke government from 1983. As Prime Minister, he is noted for his many legislative achievements, and his victory in the 1993 federal election, which many had considered "unwinnable" for Labor, but also blamed for the early 1990s recession. Keating was defeated at the 1996 federal election by the Liberal/National coalition led by John Howard.

that froyo place looks familiar - a family friend took me there twice when I was up with my parents - guess I associate it with funerals now(it was in the same shopping center as Kohl's which was where I bought clothing for both funerals! 2 more hours of work..anyways i'm still amazed at how much I was able to pack in one of those cups and how I managed to balance all those toppings - even added fruit to be 'healthy'! :-) not sure what I weighed in at though but glad I tried on the clothes first...
Susanna Hmmmm...yummy. We have Yogen Fruz up here. I love how you can really taste the fruit -- the frozen yoghurt compliments it instead of masks it if that makes any sense. They make it fresh each time from frozen fruit and frozen blocks of yoghurt. Hmmm...love their blackberry!
And lately my new addiction has been nibbling on bunny ears and lambs tails. Write a chapter get a bite. Talk about motivation!Guilty food addictions? Like I need another one?
It's not too guilty - even a little healthy - but we've found a sub shop here that makes the best gyros. I had been so hungry for a decent one for years! And what makes it great is this shop is close to the park where we like to go walking (now that the weather is too nice to stay cooped up in the mall)!
I haven't found a frozen yogurt place here yet, but the directory for Menchies says they will be one in my state "soon". No info on where, though...

SANTA MONICA (CBS) — The sprawling Santa Monica campus where thousands of Yahoo! workers toil away just miles from the beach will no longer bear the Internet company's name.
Equity Office, the owners of the complex along Cloverfield Boulevard and Broadway in Santa Monica, has applied to City Hall for new signage that will rebrand the buildings as the Colorado Center, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press. The new name is not actually new – it's one the complex held in the early 1990's, the fourth name change in two decades.
The embattled Internet company has seen a procession of CEOs come and gone, and its latest CEO Scott Thompson is under fire for claiming an undergraduate degree in computer science that he apparently has not actually earned.
A member of the Santa Monica Business Alliance told the Daily Press that Yahoo! has reduced the size of its office space below the threshold to earn naming rights, triggering the name change. The complex has been branded with the Yahoo name since 2005.
In early April, Thompson announced Yahoo! would lay off about 2,000 people in an attempt to save $375 million. It's not known how many Yahoo! employees work out of the Santa Monica complex.

Ice skating enthusiasts use skates with steel blades to slide on the ice. The first ice skates were made in 3000 BC. Honed animal bone was used in making these skates, and it was attached to the shoes with leather straps. In fact, the origin of the word 'skates' is Dutch. They used to call it 'schaats', which means 'leg bone'. Iron blades were first made and used in Holland, in 1250 AD. It garnered popularity as a winter sport among the Europeans in the 17th century. The International Skating Union is the authoritative body governing the sport, and oversees all the international ice skating competitions.
The Beginner's Guide to Ice Skating
Always get an expert coach to assist you with the basics. A good coach helps minimize the risks involved, and also ensures you learn the correct way of skating. It is important to understand that ice skating doesn't come naturally to everyone. A beginner has to learn it by getting used to the ice rink. It is a safe option to rent the skates initially, and get acquainted with this sport. If

District of Columbia Medical Marijuana Facts DC Medical Marijuana Statistics and Marijuana Facts
The people in living in the nation's capital were actually among the first to demand a medical marijuana program and, in 1998, 70% voted for a ballot measure authorizing it. However, as it is not an actual state, an unfortunate fact about medical marijuana in DC was congress's power to simply nullify the popular decision, which it exercised to kill the measure. More than a decade later, the City Council unanimously approved the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment. It was signed by the Mayor on May 21, 2010. Since neither the US House nor Senate moved to stop the law, it became effective 30 days later. While the city first promised to have an operational program by mid-2011, there was in fact almost no movement for a full year after the law was signed. Finally, In August 2011, the D.C. Department of Health began accepting applications for the 10 planned cultivation centers and 5 dispensaries that will supply the city.
- The law allows Delaware patients to possess up to 2 ounces of dried marijuana but it must be purchased from a dispensary. As none are currently operational, any possession, even with a doctor's recommendation is currently still illegal.
- Currently, only cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and glaucoma are specifically listed as qualifying conditions for a Delaware marijuana card.
- Those seeking to run one of the cultivation centers or dispensaries must pay a $5000 fee simply to apply.
- The 10 planned cultivation centers will be allowed to grow up to 95 marijuana plants each, however they will not be able to distribute any of the marijuana. That will be left up to the 5 dispensaries the city has said it will license.
- Authorities are hoping to award licenses for cultivation centers by February 2011 and dispensary licenses by April 2012. Earlier promises to have the program fully operational by mid-2012 are unlikely to be met.
- Statistics from 2007 indicate that Washington DC had highest marijuana arrest rate in the nation at 677 arrests per 100,000 residents.
- It was estimated that there were 78,000 cannabis users in the District of Columbia that year.
- Marijuana prohibition fact: According to estimates, marijuana arrests cost D.C. taxpayers more than $60 million per year.
- Currently any possession of cannabis is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
- The rate of marijuana use in DC is the 3rd highest in the nation, as over 15% of the district's population has reported marijuana use.
Injustice: Despite the fact that African-Americans in DC use marijuana at a rate just 1.7% higher than whites, statistics show that they are arrested 8 times a much and account for 91% of all marijuana possession arrests.
District of Columbia Medical Marijuana Card
Amendment Act B18-622, AKA the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010, establishes a medical marijuana program to "regulate the manufacture, cultivation, distribution, dispensing, purchase, delivery, sale, possession, and administration of medical marijuana and the manufacture, possession, purchase, sale, and use of paraphernalia. The Program shall be administered by the Mayor."
Through this program, medical marijuana patients must register with the Department of Health and receive a medical marijuana card AKA cannabis card or pot card. However, the Mayor and the Department of Health have yet to determine how the medical marijuana program will be run and it is not expected to be active before the end of 2010.
MarijuanaDoctors.com will keep you updated on how to get a marijuana card in Washington, DC.

District of Columbia Medical Marijuana Qualification
Who Qualifies for Medicinal Marijuana in District of Columbia
On May 4, 2010, the Council of the District of Columbia approved Amendment Act B18-622 in a vote of 13-0, which establishes the "Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010." The Mayor signed the bill on May 21, 2010, and the law went into effect on July 27, 2010, after the Senate and the House both declined to overrule the bill during a 30-day Congressional review period. This law removes state-level criminal penalties on the use and possession of medical marijuana (also referred to as medical weed, medical pot or medical cannabis) by qualifying patients who obtain a recommendation from their physician. The law also requires patients to register with a medical marijuana program to obtain marijuana card. The Mayor and the Department of Health are still establishing the program. Unlike most Medical Marijuana States, Washington, DC will prohibit home cultivation of marijuana and require patients to obtain a limited amount of marijuana at DC-monitored dispensaries.
Read the full text of Amendment Act B18-622here.
- Must be a resident of Washington, DC and be diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition or be currently undergoing a qualifying medical treatment (see below).
- You must obtain legitimate medical records or documentation from your primary care physician describing their diagnosis. Learn how to request your medical records.
- Obtain an authenticated, written recommendationfrom a physician licensed in the state of Washington, DC, with whom you maintain a bona fide relationship with, stating that that you might benefit from the medical use of marijuana. Find a medical marijuana doctor in Washington, DC here.
- The law also requires patients to register with Washington, DC's medical marijuana program to obtain a Medical Marijuana card. The Mayor and the Department of Health are still establishing the program at this time.
- Once you have obtained your marijuana card, you may purchase your medicine from a cannabis dispensary and possess up to two ounces of dried medical marijuana.
Patients in Washington, DC diagnosed with the following medical conditions are afforded legal protection under the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010: HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, cancer, or any other condition, as determined by rulemaking, that is: Chronic or long-lasting; Debilitating or interferes with the basic functions of life; and is a serious medical condition for which the use of medical marijuana is beneficial, that cannot be effectively treated by any ordinary medical or surgical measure; or for which there is scientific evidence that the use of medical marijuana is likely to be significantly less addictive than the ordinary medical treatment for that condition.
Patients may also qualify by undergoing any of the following medical treatments: Chemotherapy; The use of azidothymidine or protease inhibitors; Radiotherapy; or any other treatment, as determined by rulemaking, whose side effects require treatment through the administration of medical marijuana in the same manner as a qualifying medical condition.
Some medical marijuana patients will claim they have a doctor's prescription for medical marijuana, but marijuana prescriptions are in fact illegal. The federal government classifies marijuana as a schedule I drug. Therefore doctors are unable to prescribe marijuana to their patients, and medical marijuana patients cannot go to a pharmacy to fill a prescription for medical marijuana. Instead, medical marijuana physicians will supply patients with a medical marijuana recommendation in compliance with state law.
Unlike most medical marijuana states, Washington, DC medical marijuana law does not allow for the cultivation of medical cannabis. Patients must obtain a set amount of medical marijuana at state-monitored cannabis dispensaries. The maximum amount of medical marijuana that any qualifying patient or caregiver may possess at any moment is two ounces of dried medical marijuana. Because Washington, DC only recently passed its medical marijuana law, the state is currently in the process of setting up its cannabis dispensaries.

It said more than half of mobile owners turn to their phone rather than have "downtime", and more than one in three check their handset when there is a lull in conversation.
The report from the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) drew on 700 hours of video footage from consumers wearing FishEye cameras.
They took a picture every five seconds over a three-day period, revealing that those surveyed picked up or used a connected device such as a mobile phone, laptop or tablet on average 34 times each day.
Those who took part in the study averaged a total of two hours and 12 minutes a day using a connected device, while for 46% of this time they were using at least two devices, and sometimes three, simultaneously.
More than half of mobile phone users (52%) said they prefer to check it if they have any "downtime" rather than sit and think.
The figure rises to 62% among 18 to 30-year-olds.
More than one third (37%) said they check their phone if there is a lull in conversation with friends, while 44% said it makes their commute more enjoyable.
And one in six (17%) mobile owners said their phone had played some role - either browsing, researching or buying - in a purchase made in the previous fortnight.
IAB director of research and strategy Tim Elkington said: "One thing that stood out in the study was how surprised respondents were when told how frequently they'd looked at their phone, tablet or computer."
Dr Simon Hampton, a lecturer in psychology at the University of East Anglia, said: "People's inability to leave their phones alone is the newest addition to common displacement behaviours such as smoking, doodling, fiddling with objects and picking at food."

With classic styling, a 470 horsepower Hemi and 21st century technology, this 728-mile SRT-392 is a dependable, scary quick street bruiser that'll hold its own parked next to the finest vintage metal your local cruise-in has to offer!
Upon meeting this low mileage Dodge, the first thing you'll notice is a premium combination of red and silver aesthetics that put a modern twist on the trusted 'bright paint and two war stripes' color scheme. Get to know the car a little better and you'll find solid, original sheetmetal that fits precisely. A close examination of that sheetmetal, which began life at Chrysler's excellent Brampton, Canada manufacturing facility, reveals no major issues or tendencies. And overall, in part thanks to tasteful SRT upgrades, this super slick MoPar walks a fine line between legendary Motor City class and modern, user-friendly performance.
The heart of this Challenger is a 392 cubic inch SRT Hemi that utilizes a revised block, aluminum heads and sequential multi-port fuel injection to twist stout 10.9 to 1 compression into 470 horsepower and 470 lb./ft. of torque. That brutal block commands six forward gears through a proven Tremec TR6060 manual transmission. That transmission twists a fresh limited-slip differential, which is equipped with buff 3.92 gears. There's an SRT-tuned suspension that's augmented by standard stability and traction control. Variable-ratio, speed-assisted power steering helps the car feel nimble, despite its size. Braking comes courtesy of Brembo 4-piston calipers that, with the help of standard anti-lock software, clamp 14-inch slotted rotors. Spent gases exit through factory pipes, which are capped with polished tips. And at the corners, "SRT" branded blades spin 245/45ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1s in front of 255/45ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1s.
While this Challenger's exterior is successfully reminiscent of classic Detroit steel, it's interior is a tangible illustration of just how much things have changed in almost half a century. At the center of the car, heated, power-adjustable seats feature tight leather hides that are trimmed with red accent stripes, white accent stitching and clean "SRT" logos. In front of those seats, a driver-oriented dash hangs sporty telemetry beside automatic climate control. Between those ancillaries, factory Uconnect mixes CD, DVD, Satellite and MP3 infotainment with a 40 GB hard drive, Bluetooth connectivity and six Boston Acoustics speakers. Below that system, a wide console balances an attractive shifter between premium floor mats, like-new carpet and metal-trimmed foot pedals. At the sides of that carpet, chrome-trimmed door panels hang padded armrests in front of smooth power mirrors, requisite power windows and standard power door locks. In front of the driver, a heated and leather-wrapped SRT steering wheel features factory cruise control and redundant audio buttons. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car are present and accounted for including: Keyless Go, Remote Keyless Entry, Universal Home Remote and a standard security alarm.
Nicely appointed from the factory, this clean coupe rolled in to Crossroads Dodge of Prince George, Virginia with a long list of standard and optional equipment. Here's a breakdown of the car's original window sticker.

If you're looking for a great platform with excellent performance to match its stellar looks, it's time you become the proud owner of a 21st century MoPar!

VietStock FI English - 71 month(s) ago 13 readings
Vietnam is now an important focus for global information and communications technology (ICT) companies that are making efforts to increase their presence in the Southeast Asian region, according to telecom experts.
Thirty businesses working in ICT from the Republic of Korea attended a forum on Oct. 6 to seek cooperation opportunities with Vietnamese partners.
In late September, eight French businesses also met with representatives of the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group and Vietnam 's military-run telecom provider Viettel – two major names in the Vietnamese telecom sector – to establish trade partnerships in the near future.
In another move, Taiwanese businesses hosted a large-scale Taiwan Excellence program 2011 in Hanoi in mid-July to popularize advances and innovation of the Taiwanese IT sector and to seek potential domestic partners.
In addition to being an investment destination, Vietnam also saw its businesses chosen as partners for IT projects abroad, evidenced by the fact that Algerian Minister of Post, Telecommunication and Communications Moussa Banhamadi proposed CMC Technology Group establish a joint venture to deploy a project on computerizing education programs and developing e-government in the African country.

Covers PhoneGap 3.X
Written for experienced mobile developers, Apache Cordova 3 Programming is a complete introduction to Apache Cordova 3 and Adobe PhoneGap 3. It describes what makes Cordova important and shows how to install and use the tools, the new Cordova CLI, the native SDKs, and more. If you're brand new to Cordova, this book will be just what you need to get started. If you're familiar with an older version of Cordova, this book will show you in detail how to use all of the new stuff that's in Cordova 3 plus stuff that has been around for a while (like the Cordova core APIs).
After walking you through the process of downloading and setting up the framework, mobile expert John M. Wargo shows you how to install and use the command line tools to manage the Cordova application lifecycle and how to set up and use development environments for several of the more popular Cordova supported mobile device platforms. Of special interest to new developers are the chapters on the anatomy of a Cordova application, as well as the mechanics of Cordova development. Wargo also covers the development process and the tools you can use to test and debug your Cordova applications, and provides a complete chapter that introduces the Cordova APIs, in addition to a chapter that shows you how to create your own plugins.
Filled with lots of examples and code, the book includes includes complete coverage of Android, iOS, BlackBerry 1,0 and Windows Phone development for Cordova.
Topics covered include:
- How to install and use the Cordova CLI and associated tools
- How to configure the Android developer tools (ADT) to run, test, and debug your Cordova applications for Android
- How to use Xcode—Apple's development tool for iOS development—to run, test, and debug Cordova applications for iOS devices
- How to use the Safari browser to debug Cordova applications on iOS devices
- How to use the Microsoft development tools to run, test, and debug Cordova applications for Windows Phone 8

There's no more exhilarating way to enjoy a day on the water than atop a personal watercraft, a small vessel on which you sit or stand, rather than ride inside of like a boat. But, with the horsepower of a large outboard engine and the acceleration of a motorcycle, a personal watercraft is no toy.
It's a Class A vessel, subject to all the same laws as boats under 16 feet. So, before you jump on and zip across the water, get up to speed on these regulations and safety tips.
Personal Watercraft Regulations
Per federal regulations, personal watercraft must be registered with a validation sticker and registration number displayed on the vessel. State regulations vary, but may require operators to be of a minimum age (usually 14 to 16), complete a safe boating course and/or obtain an operator's certificate. State and local governments may also limit speed, hours and areas of operation.
Required equipment for personal watercraft includes:
Personal Watercraft Safety
Once you meet all of the above requirements, you also need to know a few rules of the waterway. Follow these 12 tips to inject some much-needed safety and sanity into your personal watercraft adventures.
Finally, be sure you have the insurance coverage you need for your personal watercraft. Think about agreed value coverage that will cover a total loss after the deductible without a complicated depreciation formula. And, look for ways to customize your coverage with options such as emergency assistance, as well as roadside assistance for your towing vehicle and trailer.
Remember, having fun and staying safe on your personal watercraft aren't mutually exclusive. So, do both and enjoy the ride. And, don't forget the sunscreen!
For even more safety tips, head over to Safeco's Personal Watercraft Safety Guide. If you'd like to explore insurance options for your personal watercraft, contact a local Safeco agent near you.

Stereographic Projection of a Sphere |
Contents |
Basic Description
Stereographic projection is a method of mapping the surface of a sphere onto a plane.
Each point on the sphere is associated with a point on the plane. The process for determining the point on the plane is to draw a line from the north pole, letting it pass through both a point on the sphere and a point on the plane. The point on the sphere is mapped to the point on the plane.
The image to the left shows this process for a two-dimensional cross-section of the sphere. In a way, the figure is an example of the unit circle being mapped to the x axis. This page will examine the broader projection of the unit sphere onto the x-y plane.
The main image demonstrates stereographic projection. In this case, the plane is drawn under the sphere instead of cutting through its equator. The coloring demonstrates where regions of the sphere end up when they are mapped to the plane. The projection is still from the top of the sphere, but the bands of color are not centered around the vertical axis, so the projection forms some interesting ellipses on the plane.
The following applet demonstrates how a sphere is projected onto a plane. A sphere with coaxial bands of color is stereographically projected onto a plane in the background. You can rotate the sphere with the mouse, changing the orientation of the colors on the sphere which changes the projection on the plane. The sphere and projection point remain fixed; only the colors are shifted.
A More Mathematical Explanation
A stereographic projection maps the points of a sphere onto a plane. Specifically, let's consider the unit sphere centered at the origin x2 + y2 + z2 = 1 and the x-y plane z = 0. We want to know how to map some point P (x, y, z) on the sphere to some point Q (X, Y, 0) on the plane.
Rectangular coordinates: The formula for the coordinates of Q, the point on the plane, is:
- or .
Derivation of Eq. 1.
- Let's restate what is happening by returning to our definition of the sphere. The sphere's pole is at the point T (0, 0, 1). A line can be drawn through some point P (x, y, z) on the sphere and some point Q (X, Y, 0) on the plane. We consider the vectors drawn from T to P and from T to Q. By construction, these two vectors are colinear and parallel:
- .
- Since the vectors are parallel, their cross product is the 0 vector.
- We get three equations:
- These are the coordinates in Eq. 1.
Inverse of rectangular coordinates: Since coordinates on the sphere are mapped uniquely, or one-to-one, to coordinates on the plane, this function is invertible. The explicit inverse is:
- .
Derivation of Eq. 2.
- This inverse formula is derived by substituting the coordinates from Eq. 1 back into the equation for the unit sphere and solving for z.
- The first solution may be discarded because T(0, 0, 1) is the pole of the circle; it is the one point on the sphere for which stereographic projection is not defined. (Think about why it would not make sense to map T onto the plane. We would have to draw a line from T to T, but The plane tangent to the sphere at T is parallel to the x-y plane onto which we are projecting, so any line tangent to the sphere at T will never pass through the plane.) The second solution is what we expected.
- In order to find inverse expressions for x and y, we return once again to the equation for our sphere.
- This is certainly a mess to simplify. But in the end we obtain the expected result:
- Since x and y are interchangeable for the purpose of these formulas, the same may be repeated for x to obtain:
- These are the coordinates in Eq. 2.
Projection in terms of spherical coordinates: A point on the sphere has rectangular coordinates , where is the polar angle formed from the positive z axis and is the azimuthal angle formed from the positive x axis. In spherical coordinates, we say equivalently (radius 1 for unit sphere). We can write the coordinates of the projection in terms of these spherical coordinates:
- where are polar coordinates of the stereographic projection.
This formulation of the coordinates is revealing. R, the distance of a projected point from the origin, depends entirely on , the polar angle, while the azimuthal angle is preserved by the projection.
Derivation of Eq. 3.
- By substituting spherical coordinates into the Cartesian coordinates of Eq. 1, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find R:
- That the spherical coordinate is the same as the polar coordinate should be unsurprising if we visualize the projection. Both are the azimuthal angle.
Inverse of polar coordinates: The inverse can be formulated in terms of spherical coordinates as well.
Derivation of Eq. 4.
- Using trigonometric identities, we can rearrange in terms of .
- We will make use of the trigonometric identity:
- The right-hand side of Eq. 3 is the reciprocal of this identity, so
- .
- This can easily be rewritten:
- .
- Again, we complete our derivation by noting that the radius of the spherical point must be 1, and that .
Points on the upper hemisphere (z > 0) of the unit sphere are mapped outside of the unit circle on the x-y plane (X 2 + Y 2 > 1). Points on the lower hemisphere (z < 0) of the unit sphere are mapped inside of the unit circle on the x-y plane (X 2 + Y 2 < 1).
- We prove this by rewriting the right-hand side of the equation R 2 = X 2 + Y 2 in terms of z using the coordinates in Eq. 1:
- For positive z, the numerator is greater than the denominator, so the projection falls outside of the unit circle. For negative z, the denominator is greater than the numerator, so the projection falls inside of the unit circle.
- This completes the proof.
Consider the intersection of a plane with the unit sphere to form a circle. We distinguish between two possible cases:
- The plane passes through the north pole T. Then the stereographic projection of the intersected points onto the x-y plane is a line.
- The plane does not pass through T. Then the projection of the intersected points onto the x-y plane is a circle.
Part of this result can be seen intuitively if one considers great circles that pass through the north pole. It also can be understood in light of Eq. 3, which establishes that the azimuth on the sphere is equal to the polar angle measurement of the stereographic projection. All points of a great circle that passes through the north pole will have the same azimuth; such a great circle, when projected onto the plane, will have the same polar angle for each point, so the projected points would form a line.
This theorem is less obvious, however, when one considers circles that pass through T but are not great circles. Here we will also prove this theorem analytically.
- We recall that our sphere is defined:
- .
- Planes are defined:
- .
- A circle on the sphere is the intersection of these sets:
- .
- Note that we are only interested in cases in which the plane intersects the sphere at more than one point. Some planes of this form either do not intersect the unit sphere or are tangent to the unit sphere, in which cases does not contain a circle.
- We want to show that the stereographic projection of W is a line on the plane when it includes T and a circle on the plane when it excludes T.
- Recall that T (0, 0, 1), P (x, y, z), Q (X, Y, 0) lie on a line, so
- for some real, nonzero t.
- In vector notation,
- so
- , , .
- In the previous proof, we showed that
- where R is the distance of the projected point Q from the origin, and Q (X, Y) are rectangular coordinates.
- By manipulating this relationship, we get
- and
- Now we consider the equation of the plane which intersects the sphere:
- By substituting, this becomes:
- Multiply by :
- Since ,
- To conclude, note that when , because . Furthermore, .
- If , then coefficients of and in Eq. 5 are 0, so Eq. 5 is the formula for a line in . Therefore, when , the stereographic projection of is a line.
- If , then the coefficients of and in Eq. 5 are the same, so Eq. 5 is the formula for a circle in . Therefore, when , the stereographic projection of is a circle.
- This completes the proof.
- However, it is possible to rearrange Eq. 5 further. In the latter case where , we have
- By completing the square, this becomes
- Therefore, the stereographic projection of onto is a circle centered at
- with radius
- .
The stereographic projection is conformal, meaning that any angles formed on the surface of the sphere are the same as those projected onto the plane. This means that the projection preserves shape locally; the angles on the sphere and on the plane are the same at the point of intersection.
However, the stereographic projection does not preserve the area of regions on the sphere. This makes sense because the sphere has finite surface area, but is projected onto the whole of the x-y plane (the projection can be inverted and any point on the x-y plane can be mapped to a point on the sphere).
The image to the left shows this property. It is clear that the area of each enclosed region on the rectangular grid is not equal to that of its projection on the sphere. It also appears that the angles are preserved locally. These relationships can be proven.
An important mathematical application of stereographic projections in complex analysis is the Riemann Sphere. In the Riemann sphere, the north pole T of the sphere is the point at infinity (recall that T cannot be projected onto the plane, while the coordinates of the projection become much larger as z approaches 1). The Riemann sphere therefore constitutes the extended complex plane, the union of the complex numbers with infinity.
Why It's Interesting
Stereographic projections are used in cartography and photography.Cartography
A difficult task for cartographers has always been to create maps that are as accurate and usable as possible. Various map projections, or projections of earth as an idealized three-dimensional sphere onto a two-dimensional plot, have been used, and each has different merits. Unfortunately, map projections cannot be ideal; they cannot be both conformal and equiareal, but cartographers and geometers have left us many to choose from.
The stereographic projection is one such method of mapping. Stereographic projections are chosen because they are conformal and are not distorted much close to the pole.
Two polar stereographic projections. To the left, an "extreme" polar map projection maps much of the southern hemisphere (the red line denotes the equation). To the right, a more local polar map projection maps just the northern hemisphere. These are projections from the same point T; the right projection just projects fewer points and so is "zoomed in" and only includes the most accurate portions of the map. Source
Since the lengths of segments on the sphere are not preserved by the stereographic projection, stereographic map projections can become rather distorted at some points. Particularly, stereographic projections are most accurate around the pole opposite of T (see More Mathematical Explanation). Many stereographic maps are called polar for this reason; they are used to map one hemisphere and are often centered around one of the poles.
For this reason, multiple polar stereographic maps might be necessary to have an accurate picture of the whole world. The two stereographic projections to the left are both polar stereographic map projections, but the first does not seem to represent the whole world very well. The red circle denotes the equator, and the map become very distorted outside of the equator in the southern hemisphere.
Another way to map more of the world using a stereographic projection is with a transverse stereographic map.
Mathematically, the general case discussed in the More Mathematical Explanation is a projection onto the plane z = 0. Often, for the purpose of map projections, it makes sense to project the sphere representing the earth onto a plane tangent to a pole of the sphere (for example, z = -1 or z = 1, assuming the unit sphere). An example of how this affects the projection is shown to the right. The formulas for the projection would have to be derived again.
Stereographic projections are used in photography to produce impressive, beautiful images.[1]
Such an image as the one to the left is created by taking a panoramic photo. This involves taking a photo, rotating by some fixed angle, and taking another photo. When the photos cover 360°, they may be strung together to form a panoramic photo. It is possible then to map the photo as a texture on a sphere, which can then be projected onto a plane to produce the image on the right of the figure.

Next Episode of Vinny & Ma Eat America is
On Vinny & Ma Eat America, Vinny Guadagnino and his mom, Paola, are going on a road trip, but not just any kind. Paola may be the best cook in her big Italian family, but the problem is that she only cooks and eats Italian, according to Vinny. So he's decided to take her on a culinary road trip of a lifetime, to taste and discover delicious food she's never tried. What makes this mother and son cross-country adventure so special is seeing Vinny and Paola experience it all together, and the natural hilarity that ensues is heartwarming.
Vinny Guadagnino and his mom, Paola, head south, where Ma reluctantly ditches Italian food for some authentic Georgia cuisine; Vinny introduces Ma to old fashioned barbecue ribs, Southern-fried chicken and fly fishing with a few pit stops in between.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

Jammin' Jenny
When I visit my friend Jenny in Maryland, there usually isn't a lot for me to do in the house. So I end up doing a lot of drawing. There isn't a lot to draw either so I make do with what's available. I was spending time drawing stuff in her refrigerator. Skippy peanut butter jars, Ginseng jars, tropicana orange juice. Jenny likes to watch what I'm doing, because it is so ridiculous. She asked if I would draw something for her. Jenny gave me this jar of jam. It's her favorite thing in the world. All jams come in the same short round jar. This one breaks the mold of jam packaging. For some reason, it caught her eye in a Korean supermarket. When she came to America, she was schocked to find it in the first supermarket she went into. I'm telling this nutty story because of how my sketches actually help me to bond with people. It's like we did this drawing together. She even wrote some thoughts in Korean on my sketch. When I got back to New York, I scanned it and made a nice print which I framed for her. So instead of sitting around watching television, I got to do a drawing about Jenny which will hang in her apartment. She now has a conversation piece to brag to all her friends and neighbors about. I've got a new item for my blog.

This is simply wonderful, I keep coming back to your blog to see the artwork. I can't use pens but I really wish I could after seeing your drawings. I very much enjoyed looking at your sketchbooks too - any chance of you publishing these? I've ordered Danny Gregory's book - I'm delighted you have some work in there too!
I didnt find thing that i need... :-(

Asked about Pokemon Black and White on Oct. 6, 2012, 5:02 p.m. by AlbertoFlores
the saved data on my game won't be read even after i turn of the system and re-insert the game. what can i do to fix it?

Answer by R3D STAR
So, what exactly happens when you start your game and select your save file? Unfortunately, this sounds like a glitch. :( Also, did you purchase the game used?
Oct. 22, 2013, 10:31 a.m. -
Answer by AlbertoFlores
well, when i turn on the game it says that ''the save file cannot be read''. i'm hoping that i can some how fix it, i have all my pokemon in there T-T. No i bought brand new the day it came out!!!
Oct. 22, 2013, 10:31 a.m. -
Answer by R3D STAR
Hmmm.. Sounds like a glitch in your copy of the game. If you bought it new, created a new game, saved, and now aren't able to load the save file, it might be corrupted. We'll try to replicate the problem here and see if there's anything to report. In the meantime, it may be worthwhile to create a brand new file.
Oct. 22, 2013, 10:31 a.m. -
Answer by AlbertoFlores
it won't let me pass of the screen where it says '' The save data could not be accessed.'' so creating a new file is impossible since i can't even get to the menu.
