Those guys at Google just can't help but show off. Not content with announcing its new Nexus S which will be running the all new Android Gingerbread and launching its eBookstore in the States, it had to go and show off its new mobile Google Maps on the new Motorola tablet – oh yeah and it was running Android Honeycomb.
Andy Rubin, Google VP of Engineering over at Mountain View was speaking at the D: Dive Into Mobile last night when he followed up the announcement of the Nexus S by coolly pulling the prototype Motorola tablet – possibly called the Stingray – out of his bag of tricks and powered it up. With everyone happy having seen Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in action on the Nexus S, no one was expecting to see Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) in action straight away. But there it was.
Not too much is known about the Motorola device except that it is powered by an NVIDIA dual-core 3D processor, has video chat and of course runs Honeycomb. Rubin also announced that Honeycomb is due "next year" with support for tablets. The version of Honeycomb demoed by Rubin on the tablet was very different to Gingerbread and had been customized a lot – though the familiar grid of apps was still visible.
When will we see this device properly? We don't know, though a rumoured release in the US this side of Christmas has not gone away. We will hopefully get our hands on it at CES in January. For now you can see a video of the device in action here.
As regards the Google Maps for Mobile 5, the biggest visual change is dynamic map drawing, which will show buildings fleshed out for over 100 cities. Even better is that you can now use two fingers to tilt and rotate around the map (in addition to moving and pinch-to-zoom, of course). As regards offline caching, Maps will keep on file the locations that you go to (and search) most often, and it'll be able to reroute while offline in Navigation. Though you will need a connection to change your route totally.
Nearly all Android phones of recent years will be able to take advantage of the new functionality though interestingly the brand new Nexus S won't be able to use the tilt and rotate functions because it lacks the multitouch requirements. The update is due out in the coming days.

Water Fluoride Laboratory Proficiency Testing Program
Engineering Factsheets
State Community Water System Split-Sample Programs
Operators of community water systems typically test water fluoride content every day. To verify the accuracy of their testing method, they also collect a sample once a month or quarterly, depending on their state requirements, and split the sample into two parts. One part of the sample is tested on-site, and the second part is sent to a state laboratory or accredited laboratory for verification testing. This comparison reveals if the particular laboratory technique is correct, and if the reported results are accurate.
In the Engineering and Administrative Recommendations for Water Fluoridation, CDC recommends that states operate a monthly split-sample program with the water systems in their jurisdictions.
State Laboratory Proficiency Testing Program
All laboratories that measure fluoride should participate in a proficiency testing program to obtain accreditation. Proficiency testing assesses a laboratory's performance in determining an accurate fluoride measurement against a known standard sample. This is an essential quality assessment methodology that assures water fluoride levels are safe and properly monitored.
There are several references for proficiency testing and accreditation, including:
- National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) for proficiency testing.
- A state-implemented certification program based on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Manual for the Certification of Laboratories Analyzing Drinking Water.
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Guide 43–1 (1997): Proficiency testing by inter-laboratory comparisons.
CDC Fluoride Proficiency Testing Program
In 1978, the national water fluoridation program was transferred from the EPA to the CDC. At that time, the proficiency testing program was considered to be a CDC responsibility because CDC had the only existing fluoride laboratory proficiency testing program.
CDC's proficiency testing program operated from 1980–2009. During that period, EPA worked with state environmental management programs to develop criteria for accreditation of environmental laboratories reporting on regulatory compliance. EPA now mandates that all laboratories participate in a state-based proficiency program or obtain accreditation from NELAC. Since having a credentialed proficiency validation for laboratory accuracy as a standard requirement fulfills the function of CDC's proficiency testing program it was discontinued in April 2009. Through the new structure mandated by the EPA, state laboratories continue to have reliable, accurate sources for verification testing.

Choosing and Installing an Electric Windlass

This article was originally published on SailNet in July 2001.

If you've got a working windlass on your bow, you're ready to take on any anchoring chore.

Nothing takes the work out of the anchoring process like an electric windlass. Once youve tried one, youll never look back. This was certainly the case for Sue and me. At first glance, many sailors dismiss the electric windlass as a luxury item, but its not long before they learn to appreciate the many safety benefits that having one on board can offer.

An electric windlass makes retrieval of your anchor quick and effortless, regardless of your age, gender, or strength. This ability makes the everyday anchoring experience more pleasurable. But more importantly, it also makes those situations when you must be able to move quickly to avoid harm to your boat a breeze to handle. It also makes you far more likely to set your own anchor exactly as you would like it, rather than playing the wait-and-see game because you dont want to go through the tiring manual retrieval process again.

If youve decided to add an electric windlass to your boat, you may want to consider installing it yourself. Weve been through the drill, so here are the steps necessary for choosing and installing your own electric windlass.

Do-it-yourself wiring on a windlass is actually pretty straightforward. Here the authors are in the process of installing a vertically oriented electrical windlass on their boat.

Size and Slant The first step in choosing an electric windlass is to decide upon the design, its orientation, and size you need. Anchor windlasses are designed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, and are rated according to their pulling power.

With the motor mounted below deck in the anchor locker, a vertically oriented windlass provides the sleekest appearance on the foredeck. A horizontal windlass, on the other hand, incorporates a sealed motor housing and gearbox that easily mounts entirely above deck. If correctly selected, carefully aligned and properly installed, the performance from both a horizontal and a vertical windlass should be similar. When choosing between these two types of windlasses, a couple of factors need to be taken into account apart from mere aesthetics.

First, the depth of your anchor locker is an important consideration. If your locker is shallow, youll not want the motor from a vertical windlass protruding down into your already precious space. The problem arises when the anchor chain is being retrieved. In lockers with insufficient depth, the chain can pile up under the windlass and interfere with its operation. A second factor to consider is the vertical angle and distance from the bow roller to the windlass. On our boat, Serengeti, the five-foot distance from the roller aft to the windlass, combined with the considerable downward angle, dictated that only a horizontal windlass would provide the chain a clean lead onto the windlass gypsy. An analysis of the angle of the lead from your own bow roller is necessary to determine exactly which style and model will work best on your particular boat.

This horizontal windlass, with a chain gypsy to starboard and line capstan to port, has been fitted so that it's carefully aligned with the bow rollers.

If youve decided that a horizontal windlass is best for your boat, youre presented with further considerations. Since certain models sport a chain gypsy on one side and a rope capstan on the other, the distance between the two may determine how well both will line up with your bow roller. Some gypsies and capstans are closely spaced, while others are spaced more generously. Consider this in your bow roller lead analysis. Certain manufacturers produce gypsies that are capable of handling a combination of both rope and chain. With these gypsies, a rope to chain splice can be employed to smoothly transition from rope to chain during retrieval. We had one of these on our last cruising boat and it worked quite well. Keep this feature in mind when shopping for a particular model, especially if you have a combination of chain and line on your rode.

Determining what size windlass you need is a simple task. Most companies rate their windlasses in pulling power, then provide an approximate boat size or displacement for which their windlass will perform satisfactorily. If youre on the borderline between two sizes, definitely choose the one with the higher pulling capacity if you plan to anchor frequently.

Match Making  Identifying the type and specification of your existing chain can often be a challenging task, but is essential information for adding a windlass. Weve come across countless sailors whove had trouble matching their existing anchor chain to their new windlass gypsy. They think they have a chain that matches, and it works on their gypsy most of the time, but then they find it slips every once in awhile. This is a definite symptom of the wrong chain-to-gypsy match.

"Weve come across countless sailors whove had trouble matching their existing anchor chain to their new windlass gypsy."

Unfortunately, theres little standardization with regards to chain. Theres Proof Coil, BBB, High Test, and all sorts of special "stretched" chain available. Your chain could be any imperial size, or even metric. Thankfully, there are several methods that will help you identify your own chain. If you bought it new yourself, check your records and see exactly what kind it was. Barring having that lucky piece of information on hand, next look at the chain itself and try to find any identifying marks stamped on it. If this doesnt tell you anything conclusive, lay the chain out straight and get ready to take a number of different measurements.

Using a tape measure, count the number of links per foot of chain. Another determinant is the maximum length in inches of 100 links of chain. With a pair of calipers, measure the nominal inside width of each link, the pitch (being the length inside each link), and the wire size (thickness of the metal). See the table in the sidebar below to help identify the chain you've got.

If after this process, you still cant properly identify your existing chain, you can either take a two-foot sample with you while windlass shopping, send a sample to the windlass manufacturer to ensure a proper fit with their gypsy, or order new chain. In our opinion, youre likely to be best served in the long run by selling your existing chain (or keep it as back-up), and buy new chain to fit your new windlass.

With the vertical variety of anchor windlass, it's still important to ensure a fair lead from the roller to the windlass.

Mounting the Windlass For smooth performance from your windlass, its important to carefully align the capstan or gypsy with the bow roller. This is easier to confirm with an above-deck horizontal windlass than with a vertical model, but with care and attention, you should be able to get either right. A long straight edge or short piece of chain or rope that extends beyond the bow roller and aft to the windlass really helps to ensure a clean lead.

At this point, you may find that you have an existing hawse pipe in your foredeck that is in the wrong position and doesnt work with your new windlass. If the hawse is far enough from the windlass as to not interfere with its operation, you may wish to leave it as a secondary hawse for manually retrieved rodes, or for that old chain that youre unable to identify. The other option is to completely fill the old hole with a replacement core material and fiberglass it over with cloth and epoxy. This may sound difficult, but its really a simple process to fill holes like this. We had to do this ourselves on Serengeti when changing windlasses. See our article entitled Drilling and Filling Holes in Your Boat for further information.

Once your windlass is properly aligned, mark its footprint on the deck. Most manufacturers provide a template showing the outline of the windlass base and indicating where the holes go. Place this template inside your already marked footprint, and mark where each hole needs to be drilled. Youll be marking for the mounting bolts and more than likely, a new hawse. If youre mounting a horizontal windlass, youll need to provide marks for the holes where the large battery cables will pass through the deck as well.

Once everythings marked, youre ready to drill your mounting holes. Dry-fit your windlass into these new holes and confirm the lead from the bow roller. At this time, youll want to cut any holes through the deck for foot switches or a hand-held remote controller. Make sure you locate these in a spot that allows you to view the anchor rode as it's retrieved while keeping a safe distance away from the windlass so that clothing or feet will not become entangled during operation. To make holes for your foot switches its best to use a hole saw bit on a power drill. If youre not experienced using a hole saw bit, practice first on scrap lumber before cutting through your deck. Light, even pressure, and a firm grip on the drill is necessary keep it under control.

Aboard the authors' own boat, the windlass can be driven by foot buttons that are hidden under protective covers (at right).

After all your holes are drilled, its time to permanently mount your windlass and switches to the foredeck. Seal the inside edges of all holes with epoxy first, then bed all components with a high quality marine sealant like Sikaflex 291, or 3M 101. Dont forget to include a strong backing plate under the windlass. Aboard Serengeti, we used a piece of three-quarter-inch, pressure treated plywood secured with fender washers to distribute the load from the windlass.

Powering Up In our opinion, the best power source for your electric windlass is your existing house battery bank. Beginning at the positive bus, run the appropriately sized battery cable (positive) to a high-amp circuit breaker. From the breaker, the positive lead along with the ground coming from your negative bus will be run under the floorboards or through lockers until finally reaching the bow area under the windlass. Use a drill with a hole saw or paddle bit to cut holes large enough for your cables to pass through. The specific cable size and circuit breaker specification will be listed in the installation material from the manufacturer. Breaker size is determined by the power draw of the windlass, while the cable size is a function of both power draw and distance from the battery bank to the windlass. Make sure you place the breaker in a convenient location to make it easy to turn on and off each time you anchor.

Once your cables have been run to the bow, the simplest wiring arrangement calls for the use of hi-amp foot switches. These switches are capable of passing the full current through to the windlass, thus eliminating the need for any sort of solenoid. If you choose to install a hand-held or cockpit remote, your wiring will be slightly more difficult as youll need to install a solenoid at the bow. A solenoid allows you to control the high current draw of a windlass with relatively small switches. A cockpit remote will necessitate the running of small wires from the solenoid back to the switch in the cockpit. A simple wiring diagram should be provided by the windlass company.

"We fail to see the logic behind a dedicated battery for the windlass. After several unsuccessful anchoring attempts, that battery would become discharged."

Some sailors prefer the option of placing a dedicated battery for the windlass in the bow to avoid running large battery cables forward. We fail to see the logic behind this set-up because after enduring several unsuccessful anchoring attempts, that battery would be quite discharged. A severely discharged battery signals the alternator through a voltage sensing lead and tells the alternator to output its full current to recharge the battery. In this example, the high current output from an alternator would necessitate the installation of large battery cables to provide for the proper charging of the dedicated battery in the bow. Because of that, youre back to running large cables all the way forward anyway.

With the wiring completed and all components securely attached, its time to remount your anchor on the bow roller and fill that anchor locker back up with rode. Youll want to test out your new system before you leave the dock, and make sure everything is running smoothly.

Once all systems check out, get ready to enjoy the fruits of your efforts for many years to come. Youll find you have much more energy for exploring the many wonderful destinations that only boats at anchor can experience. And hopefully, youll never again find yourself like the two guys Ive been watching for the last 30 minutes 100 yards over in the anchorage who are now both on the bow, and still struggling with their heavy anchor.

S.-Hanoi Contact Made By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON con- gressional panei planned to question CIA Director William F. Raborn today on the newly announced direct U.S. diplo- matic contact with Hanoi. The Central Intelligence Agency chief was to brief a joint subcommittee on the CIA at midafternoon on the Johnson administration's peace offensive. Viet Nam Secretary of State Dean Rusk had been scheduled to brief the House Foreign Affairs Commit- tee this morning on the Viet Nam situation. But he left for India shortly after midnight as a member of the U.S. delegation to the funeral of Indian Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri. Presidential press secretary Bill D. Moyers disclosed the KVS.-North Vietnamese contact late Monday but refused to tell more including how, when or where it came about. It was learned that a U.S. dip- lomat met for a few minutes with a Hanoi representative and handed him a message con- cerning U.S. proposals for peace in Viet Nam. The two officials were report- ed to have exchanged routine remarks, but not to have 'en- gaged in any substantive nego- tiations. Johnson ha 5 offered uncondi- tional discussions. To this the Communists have not yet given any significant response through diplomatic channels, it was stated. Publicly, the Reds are continuing to berate the United States as the aggressor in Viet Nam. The U.S.-North Vietnamese meeting was said to have oc- curred some time ago. John- son's current peace campaign began .Dec. 24 with the halt in air strikes against North Viet Nam targets. Hanoi's receipt of the U.S. communication this time dur- ing last May's bombing pause it refused a U.S. message sent through the British was not regarded as significant here pending a reply from the North Vietnamese capital. At least a dozen Communist and non-Communist countries have both U.S. and North Viet- namese diplomats accredited at their capitals. While Moyers declined to hint at the site of the contact, he lifted the adminis- tration's secrecy on its diplo- matic efforts slightly when asked about the statement of three Americans just returned from an unauthorized trip to Hanoi. The White House spokesman said the three Yale Professor Staughton Lynd and two others were "incompletely in- formed" in asserting that there had been no direct U S. govern- ment contact with Hanoi.( Moy- ers said it was a "safe deduc- tion" that there had been direct contact.

REEDY SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Large forces of disap- pointed U. S. troops mopped up today in iwo big Viet Cong hide- outs northwest of Saigon and in the central highlands near the Cambodian frontier alter thft bulk of guerrillas once mora had escaped intc the jungles. For U. S. officers the opera- tion by more than Ameri- cans and Australians 35 miles from the capital was particular- ly annoying. Although they raised the Viet Cong death toll to 84 and captured 38 in the four days of Operation Crimp, they had hoped for far better results from the biggest American of- fensive of the war. Their goal was to snare a Communist regiment on the edge of the Iron Triangle, an old guerrilla redoubt that has been Communist territory since the days of the French Indochina war. But only rear-guard ele- ments put up a fight while the main enemy force vanished. Paratroopers of the 173rd Air- borne Brigade took on one guer- rilla band in a brisk fight Mon- day and killed 29 Communists, U. S. spokesmen reported. An- other 16 bodies were found after an air attack. Soldiers of the Is I Infantry Division killed six more guerril- las in a 20-minute gun battle when the Reds tried to protect a a large tunnel containing 15 bales of cotton and six tons of rice. While U. S. troops explored a maze of tunnels underneath more than 100 houses in the area, soldiers of the Royal Aus- tralian Regiment reported kill- ing three Viet Cong in small actions in the afternoon and finding five more A U. S. spokesman reported "only light, sporadic contact in the whole battle area" by to- night. Equally frustrating was an eight-day search for guerrillas by the U. S. 1st cavalry, Air- mobile, Division in the central highlands on the Cambodian frontier, not far from the la Drang Valley where the Flying Horsemen battled it out with North Vietnamese regulars last November. This time the Communists hurriedly pulled out, abandon- ing four rest camps capable of accommodating guerrillas. The cavalrymen destroyed the camps. The operation netted eight Communists captured.

With all the hype around Electronic (or Digital) Document Management Systems, I thought I'd share this photo, from this article (in Russian). Nanotechnology…
Insanity at its best …
Wow! Now that's candid indeed!
Anybody who believes Ukrainian news is a moron. Anybody who believes Russian news is a moron. Anybody who believes European or American news is a double moron. All of them lie through their teeth and none of it makes any freaking sense. That's where I stand.
If Sri Sutra Travel will ever decide to penetrate the Russian market, they'll need a different name or a really creative marketing campaign.

Journalists at Sochi are live-tweeting their hilarious and gross hotel experiences

Every terrorist attack in Russia since 1991 mapped
Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, there have been 1,896 terrorist attacks in Russia, excluding the latest two bombings in Volgograd on Sunday 29 and Monday 30 December.
Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the world famous AK-47 assault rifle, has passed away today, at the age of 94. He was a true genius and a patriot of his country. Coming from a very simple family, with very little education, after serving as a tank mechanic and later as a tank commander, after being wounded, he designed more than 150 models of small weapons – rifles, assault rifles, machine guns, etc.
Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer … I always wanted to construct agriculture machinery.
Such were the times, I guess – growing up in the post Civil War, Revolution and First World War country, serving during the Second World War and seeing all horrors and dangers first hand, his peaceful mind was turned the other way.
I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists … I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work — for example a lawn mower.
Looking into his engineering genius, I see the good old principle of keeping things simple:
When a young man, I read somewhere the following: God the Almighty said, 'All that is too complex is unnecessary, and it is simple that is needed' … So this has been my lifetime motto – I have been creating weapons to defend the borders of my fatherland, to be simple and reliable.
Truly inspiring. RIP.
37 Reasons Why Life Is Crazier In Russia
Some are truly hilarious!
While catching up with my RSS feeds, I saw the latest Google Transparency Report from the end of last month. The summary of the report basically says that the number of governmental requests to remove content from Google is raising quite rapidly.
There are also some clarifications of why that might be:
- There was a sharp increase in requests from Brazil, where we received 697 requests to remove content from our platforms (of which 640 were court orders—meaning we received an average of 3.5 court orders per day during this time period), up from 191 during the first half of the year. The big reason for the spike was the municipal elections, which took place last fall. Nearly half of the total requests—316 to be exact—called for the removal of 756 pieces of content related to alleged violations of the Brazilian Electoral Code, which forbids defamation and commentary that offends candidates. We're appealing many of these cases, on the basis that the content is protected by freedom of expression under the Brazilian Constitution.
- Another place where we saw an increase was from Russia, where a new law took effect last fall. In the first half of 2012, we received six requests, the most we had ever received in any given six-month period from Russia. But in the second half of the year, we received 114 requests to remove content—107 of them citing this new law.
- During this period, we received inquiries from 20 countries regarding YouTube videos containing clips of the movie "Innocence of Muslims." While the videos were within our Community Guidelines, we restricted videos from view in several countries in accordance with local law after receiving formal legal complaints. We also temporarily restricted videos from view in Egypt and Libya due to the particularly difficult circumstances there.
One thing that I am missing is a correlation to the actual size of the Google index. I mean, I of course understand that it is incomparably larger than all these requests combined, but I keep thinking that the more content you'll index, the more removal requests you'll get. So, I think, it would be interesting to see the correlation in growth of removal requests to the growth of the Google's global index.

The oldest resort town on the French Riviera, Hyères, might be best known as a holiday destination. But this week it also became a fashion hotspot, when the Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista and Harvey Nichols' fashion director, Paula Reed, were among those in town to judge the 28th International Festival of Fashion & Photography; winner to be announced on Monday April 29.
Ten shortlisted designers, including Damien Ravn from Norway and Xing Su from Canada, presented catwalk shows in the hope of winning the grand prize of €15,000, and making the leap from newcomer to established figure – as did former winners Viktor & Rolf, Gaspard Yurkievich, and Marc Le Bihan. For while these prizes – and there are a number of them – might be little known by the general public, they can make or break a young designer's career, helping them fund their first collections and thus ultimately influencing what we wear.
In 1954 a young Karl Lagerfeld and the late Yves Saint Laurent were winners of the International Woolmark Prize, a similar competition. The following year, Lagerfeld went to work for designer Pierre Balmain, and Saint Laurent was named head designer at Dior. Half a century on, the competition is still a major coup for any designer; according to this year's winner, Christian Wijnants, "Two weeks after winning the Woolmark award I had my first show in Paris and we sold the collection to retailers worldwide."
The New York designer Angel Chang, who won the Ecco Domani fashion award in 2007, a few months after showing her first collection. She says: "I only had enough money to produce one collection and thought I would just return to my corporate day job afterwards. But the award allowed me to present a second collection, which led to my first investors."
So who will be the next names to vault into the public eye? Here is our guide to the 10 most important competitions to watch, and why.

text: We bought a display frame that uses an SD card or USB drive to display pics. My wife made up a folder of pics from her Mum who died a year or so ago, & thats what its for. I tried to transfer the folder of 122 pics to an SD drive, & a USB drive but it kept stopping at certain pics saying it couldnt transfer them. In the end I had to remove 17 pics from the folder & then the rest worked fine. The pics are all JPEGS, & the ones that wont transfer are in batches taken on same day as each other, but other than that I can see no difference between those & the ones that worked. Any clue why this might be, or better yet how to fix it, because of course the most precious & favorite pics are the ones that wouldnt transfer. They are all in iPhoto. Thanks Felix

CHOW, the only online food magazine to include a moonshine still in its gift guide, salutes South by Southwest in Austin. In the spirit of all of you who are generously sharing your music, movies, and general party proficiency, we'd like to share our food and drink advice.
What to expect:
You don't go to Bologna for the sushi. So when you're eating in Austin, remember: It's mostly about Tex-Mex, friendly atmosphere, margaritas, and beer. Your odds are better with the migas (see Local Lingo) than the eggs Benedict (though there are some mighty fine eggs Benedict).
We've concentrated our attention around SXSW venues, which tend to be downtown, around South Congress, on the east side of town, and around the UT campus. But we've also included some out-of-the-way places just because you may want to escape for a bit, and they're worth it.

It's April Fool's Day
And that's not a joke. Are you an April Fool-er?
I never was a trickster especially on April Fool's Day. I remember my Mom getting me all the time. "Hey Sue, look at the spider under your pillow" or "Do you know you have a flat tire"? Everytime she got me. And probably if she'd call me today and do it, I'd still fall for it.
But if you're thinking of being a prankster a work…think about it first. Boss's apparently aren't a fan. According to a study by The Creative Group 68% of marketing and advertising executives consider April Fool's Day and the pranks not very funny and not approriate for the office.
A couple of pranks you might remember:
In 1998 Burker King announced that they were making a whopper for left-handed people and guess what, yep people showed up in droves waiting for this Whopper. Are you an April Fools' prankster?
In 2010 Ben & Jerry's announced that they were going to have a virtual ice cream. What this meant is– when you click on the ice cream you could lick the screen and it would taste like ice cream. Crazy right…but yep, people tried it!
Are you an April Fool's Day prankster? What's your best prank ever?

Tumors of the eye occur in every portion and are composed of all conceivable types of tissue. While the ultrasonographer of today works primarily with diagnostic tools of high prowess in the vitreous, posterior ocular wall, and orbit, the rapidly advancing technical achievements of sonographic equipment will soon permit scanning of lesions heretofore not easily imaged. Tumors of the lid, conjunctiva, cornea, lacrimal sac, and sinuses may now be partially investigated with A-mode using 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz transducers. A-mode analysis may currently give useful information on the biologic nature of superficial tumors. The sonographer should be aware of the clinical and pathologic nature of all types of eye tumors so that he will be immediately able to apply the more sophisticated scanners of the future to lesions of the globe, orbit, and regional anatomic structures.

For the fourth consecutive time, Atkins has been awarded a contract to provide on-call environmental consulting services for the City of San Antonio, Texas.
Atkins' work will facilitate projects associated with a recently passed $596 million city bond program that will fund improvements to streets, bridges, sidewalks, drainage and flood control systems, parks and recreational spaces, libraries, museums and arts facilities, and public safety infrastructure.
The scope of work includes a range of comprehensive environmental assessments involving cultural resources, endangered species, noise and air issues, U.S. waters, hazardous materials, and Federal DOT Section 4(f) resources—which include public park lands, recreational areas, wildlife refuges, and historic sites. Atkins will also prepare categorical exclusions for projects that are determined to have no significant environmental impacts.
Atkins senior project manager Ryan Bayer said, "Atkins has enjoyed a productive and collaborative relationship with the City of San Antonio over the last nine years, and we are fortunate to be able to continue to work on these important projects."
Bayer noted that during the contract selection process, Atkins received the highest ranking of the 19 firms that bid for the business.
The contract calls for Atkins to provide engineering, environmental, cultural, and technology services to support a wide variety of consulting services, including:
NEPA studies — Atkins will develop NEPA studies for City construction projects, an example of which is the NEPA evaluations the company conducted of San Antonio's Mission Trail, a 10-mile-long, public hike-and-bike trail that is in the final stages of completion. The trail generally parallels the San Antonio River and links the historic site of The Alamo in downtown San Antonio to four other Spanish missions that were founded along the River to the south between 1720 and 1731—including Mission Concepción, the oldest unrestored stone church in the U.S. As part of its research, Atkins identified and documented several historic acequia (Spanish irrigation channels from the 1700s) and unearthed numerous artifacts, including a well-preserved European-style beverage stein from the 1800s.
- Investigating, monitoring, and assessing cultural resources — The San Antonio area was home to Native Americans for thousands of years before Spanish settlers began arriving in 1717, so there are both Native American and settler burial sites throughout the region. To ensure compliance with Texas health and safety codes, Atkins will assess construction sites for old graves, coffins, and other remains and coordinate proper removal and/or relocation before construction begins.
- Stream restoration — Atkins will continue to work closely with the City to develop environmentally sound urban stream restorations that incorporate solid engineering design with improved stream conditions.
- Performing karst surveys — Much of the underlying geological structure around San Antonio is made up of limestone karst and is laced with caves, canyons, and sinkholes. Atkins will perform cave surveys in and around San Antonio and in the area of the Edwards Aquifer, which supplies drinking water for approximately two million Texans.
- Environmental permitting — Working closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Atkins will develop and coordinate environmental clearances for a number of key drainage and transportation improvement projects.
- Assessing threatened and endangered species — Atkins will work with TPWD to capture and remove non-native fish from the San Antonio River.
- Developing Web sites — Atkins is in the process of developing a Web site that will be used by local citizens and visitors to learn about and navigate the Mission Trail system.
Bayer said that his team will also provide service assessments of historic structures, water quality assessments, asbestos management services, and mitigation-related services.

Gaels of St. Mary's could not get the runs in against Indian Hills
Two pitches up and missed opportunities did in St. Mary in Saturday's Bergen County Baseball Tournament.
The Gaels' 15-game winning streak also came to a screeching halt at Northern Valley Demarest last weekend.
St. Mary's offense would only get four hits on the day against second-seeded Indian Hills, but they would be able to coax seven walks.
And the Gaels would leave several runners on base. "We had runners all day long and could not get that hit," said St. Mary head coach Dennis Hulse whose team was 19-5 after the loss.
In the end, the 10th-seeded Gaels would be knocked out of the county tournament, 3-1, by the second-seeded Braves in the county tournament quarterfinals.
Hulse said that Indian Hills took away one of the potent weapons of St. Mary, the bunt.
"I have to give them credit because they scouted us well," said Hulse. "They knew what we do and took our game away. Their third baseman was in all game."
Despite the loss he believes his team has accomplished what they set out for at the beginning of the season.
"Our motto was 'believe the Hype,' and they can see that we can play with anybody," said Hulse. "We were nine outs away from the final four in the county."
St. Mary junior pitcher Sal Careri pitched his second straight quality game and really only made two bad pitches.
Unfortunately for Careri they both went out of the Demarest High School park.
With the Gaels ahead 1-0, Braves center fielder Jon Andrade smacked a Careri pitch over the left field wall to tie the game at one.
The Gaels had runners on first and second in the top of the sixth inning with one out, but left fielder Michael Gibney flied out to center field. St. Mary would grab a 1-0 lead behind an RBI from Tommy Genuario in the top of the third inning. Right fielder Jesse Kraft would ground out on a fielder's choice to end the rally.
In the top of the seventh inning, Indian Hills' Serafino Brito would get on base with an infield hit.
After Careri got Braves Billy Campbell to line out to St. Mary shortstop Joey Castellanos, St. Mary head coach Dennis Hulse admitted that he left Careri on the mound for one too many batters.
Indian Hills outfielder Brett Wilkes took a Careri pitch over the left field wall about the same place as Andrade's home run.
The home run put the Gaels behind by two runs, 3-1. "That was going to be his last batter," said Hulse about Careri. "He really only made two pitches and it was of all batters the sixth and ninth place hitters."
With the county completed St. Mary will have its eyes on a trip to Toms River for the Non-Public B finals.
St. Mary garnered the second seed in the Non-Public North B as they look to garner the first sectional title in the last several tries and the Gaels might have to go through the team that knocked them out of the tournament last year.
The lone team ahead of St. Mary is top-seeded Morris Catholic, who defeated the Gaels, 7-5, in the 2013 state sectional semi-finals.
In addition St. Mary has a shot at winning an outright NJIC Meadowlands Division title. The Gaels were a game ahead of Wood-Ridge who lost to Weehawken, 5-4, on Saturday. St. Mary played at North Arlington in the final regular season game (after press deadline). A win over the Vikings would give the Gaels the outright division title.

Australia, Bollywood and Cosmopolitanism: Showcasing Australia Internationally
Over the past ten years, Australia has been used increasingly as a background location in Indian feature films, music videos and television advertisements, and Bollywood film-makers are offered government incentives to film in Australia in order to showcase Australia in India. The progressive liberalisation of the Indian economy since the early 1990s has led to competition between capitalist economies to do business with India, and Bollywood is regarded internationally by government trade and tourism commissions as a means of destination marketing. This paper considers the branding of the Australian city as both cosmopolitan and multicultural, and analyses the tensions between different definitions of cosmopolitanism implicit in government advertising. It then assesses representations of Australia in such movies as Dil Chahta Hai (2002), Salaam Namaste (2005) and Heyy Babyy (2007) both in relation to Australian brand messages and in relation to images of other cities, such as London, New York and Singapore, which also appear in Bollywood. Finally, this paper considers how a Bollywood Australia is regarded among South Asian communities in Australia, and how Bollywood's own representation of a diasporic or transnational Indian identity relates to an Australian South Asian sense of belonging.

Its bloody bad form that the retrofit loom didnt have the correct pin for the dde.
Its bloody bad form that the retrofit loom didnt have the correct pin for the dde.
Anyway went to the dealer this morning and ordered a couple of pins, should have them by Wed, 1,50 euros so not all bad....I'll update the thread once installed!
Thanks a lot for all the help!
Ah i told you that there was a chance that they might give you a couple of pins and not a big bag of pins that you dont need.
All you actually needed was four contacts and put them onto your own wire therefore basically making your own loom and saving a few quid too.
No its not.I had to pay €120 for my steering wheel as my car originally had the square airbag four spoke wheel so i wasnt going spending anymore money on the cruise retrofit lol.
Ha ha enjoy mate.Well done.

Olympic park lodge reopens, but you can't walk on beach
Kalaloch Lodge, an oceanfront getaway at Olympic National Park, has reopened after getting special permission from the National Park Service.
But there's a problem. Guests aren't allowed to walk on the lovely, wild beach right in front of the 64-room lodge because the beach lies within the national park – and the park still is closed.
Like lodges at national parks throughout the country, the 64-room Kalaloch had to send guests home and close for more than a week, thanks to the federal government shutdown that has closed the parks. (Unlike many lodgings that are deep within closed parks, Kalaloch is right off a highway – U.S. 101 – that has remained open.)
To lure back guests and celebrate Olympic National Park's 75th anniversary, Kalaloch is offering discounted rooms – at $75 per night - for arrival from now until Jan. 26, 2014. (Yes, there are blackout periods during popular periods.)

With the space shuttle program ending after the final mission of the Atlantis, NASA is laying off workers who no longer have a function at the space agency, reports Space.com. About 6,700 NASA employees worked on the shuttle program, but many of them will now be let go, John Shannon, NASA's shuttle program officer, said in the Space.com article.
The end of the program is expected to lead to layoffs at contractors as well, according to Space.com.

The appropriators supporting an IT modernization bill are urging a key authorizing committee to vote up the bill and send it to the Senate floor.
The architect of the Managing Government Technology Act is happy with the administration's request for a central IT modernization fund, but he thinks the real action will take place at the agency level.
President Donald Trump's budget proposal identifies almost $150 billion in savings over 10 years by slashing federal employee benefits, but feds and their unions are crying foul.
As expected, the proposed federal budget contains $228 million for a general fund for IT modernization projects.
The Modernizing Government Technology Act passed the House of Representatives on a voice vote, but the Senate outlook is less certain.
The revised IT modernization bill will cost $500 million to implement, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Killing the shuttle program is one of our nation's most shameful acts. NASA has contributed more to our lives than any other single organization. I can only hope that we fix this in the elections next year.
BTW - Doc Digital - I love your ideas. Let's clean up at home before we move off to other worlds. That kind of sounds like the kind of people who rent a home and live in it until it's filthy and uninhabitable and the leave to rent another place.
TO BE CLEAR - According to the article above, NASA IS laying on shuttle workers AND is it is expecting the end of the shuttle program to lead to layoffs at contractor companies as well. Do you know something else?
I sat enthralled with just about every spacecraft launch since Sputnik (yes, I am that old) and loved the adventure and the technology it took to do it.
We have learned a lot from exploration and it has brought the world a lot of new ways to do things.
Here comes the big but. But, knowing that the closest planet that MIGHT support life/species similar to what is on Earth is three hundred light years away, maybe it is time to point all that technical expertise which belongs to NASA and its contractors to solve problems here on earth.
Since going to the stars will be a generational process unless we can increase the speed of spacecraft dramatically, maybe work on better and more affordable water desalinezation/purification or finding new materials that will decompose faster in landfills.
We have received a lot of practical benefit from the space program over the years and this is a way to get more. Leave the space telescopes up there to keep some analysis going but focus some of the big brains back on mother earth.
I can't see being able to send a group of people into space and telling them they have to procreate with enough variety to preserve healthy progeny for 300 years. Might be wierd.
I have wondered for years how we might be able to turn deserets into farm land by putting organic material like peat moss and bark mulch to mix with the sand. Maybe if we found a way to take all food and organic garbage and mix it with sand to make a growing medium. I would be grdual but a step in the right direction.
Just my opinion, no better or worse than anyone elses.

For 3 billion years, one of the major carriers of information needed for life, RNA, has had a glitch that creates errors when making copies of genetic information. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a fix that allows RNA to accurately proofread for the first time. The new discovery, published June 23 in the journal Science, will increase precision in genetic research and could dramatically improve medicine based on a person's genetic makeup.
Certain viruses called retroviruses can cause RNA to make copies of DNA, a process called reverse transcription. This process is notoriously prone to errors because an evolutionary ancestor of all viruses never had the ability to accurately copy genetic material.
The new innovation engineered at UT Austin is an enzyme that performs reverse transcription but can also "proofread," or check its work while copying genetic code. The enzyme allows, for the first time, for large amounts of RNA information to be copied with near perfect accuracy.
"We created a new group of enzymes that can read the genetic information inside living cells with unprecedented accuracy," says Jared Ellefson, a postdoctoral fellow in UT Austin's Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology. "Overlooked by evolution, our enzyme can correct errors while copying RNA."

As with all new-used cars, getting to know them is a journey and boy this thing has already thrown me a curve ball or two. Anyway, I am a professional Videographer/Editor and co-owner of a multi-media company in the area. I produce TV spots, industrial videos, Events, EPK and the like. I am hoping that I could get some knowledge about these beasts as well as provide some useful feedback as I learn anything new. Cheers!

Actor Rowan Atkinson was taken to hospital after his car crashed, reports said.
The Blackadder and Mr Bean star is believed to have suffered a shoulder injury in the incident on the A605 in Haddon, Cambridgeshire, last night.
According to reports, the 56-year-old was driving a McLaren F1 super car when it spun around several times, ran into a tree and a lamppost and caught fire.
The actor is said to have walked from the vehicle and was with a passing motorist until emergency services arrived.
"We were called to a single vehicle road traffic collision at 7.30 tonight on the A605 at Haddon," said a spokesman from East of England Ambulance Service.
The spokesman added a man was taken to hospital in Peterborough with "a minor shoulder injury".
A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Police said: "We can confirm that there was a single vehicle road traffic collision at around 7.30pm on the A605."
Firefighters arrived on the scene to put out the blaze.
"Crews brought the fire under control by 8.13pm," said a spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue.
"They made the vehicle safe and used one hose reel to put out the fire. There was one casualty but he was not trapped."
A spokesman for the star could not be reached for comment.
Atkinson, known to be a car enthusiast, recently topped the leader's board on Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
He told presenter Jeremy Clarkson he was keen on racing and was currently driving a 1964 Ford Falcon.
But his racing background did nothing to quell his nerves before taking on the challenge, he admitted.
In a clip of the show uploaded on to YouTube by the BBC on July 22, Atkinson said people would "assume that in the reasonably priced car I will be very good when there's absolutely no guarantee of that whatsoever".
The star notched up the fastest ever time on the show, completing the circuit in 1 minute 42.2 seconds.
Atkinson is best known for his work on Not The Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder and Mr Bean, in which his hapless character drives an old Mini.
