Swatch chair down 3-4 bln Swiss francs in crisis
GENEVA (Reuters) - Nicolas Hayek, chairman of Swiss watchmaker Swatch Group, says he has personally lost about 3-4 billion Swiss francs on paper as a result of the financial crisis and is "furious" but not worried.
"I am unhappy and furious and feel like putting a lot of people in prison, but I'm not worried," Hayek said in an interview on Swiss television late on Thursday.
"The value of my shares has fallen by 3 or 4 billion (francs) ($2.66-$3.55 billion). But I'm not crying, on the contrary, because the value of the company still remains very high, very strong," he said.
Swatch is the world's largest watchmaker and served as official timekeeper at the Beijing Olympics.
Hayek said that sales of the group's mid-range watches including Breguet, Omega and Blancpain were "much higher" at the end of September than for the same nine-month period a year ago. He gave no figures.
He blamed speculative bankers with a mentality of "making money without doing anything" for his paper losses.
"They have no sense of morality or professional conscience. They took your money and mine saying 'trust us' and went out to speculate, knowing that it was dangerous, just to earn millions in bonuses at the end of the year," he said.
The outspoken Hayek is generally credited with rescuing the Swiss watch industry from collapse in the 1980s after low-cost Japanese quartz timepieces obliterated sales.
Lebanese-born, he is among 7,642 multimillionaires living in Switzerland, the Alpine country of 7.5 million people, 1,000 more than a year ago, according to official figures issued on Thursday. Continued...

There's a reason why bacon doesn't taste as good microwaved as it does fried, and why chicken doesn't taste as good boiled as it does roasted. That reason is the Maillard reaction, a phenomenon that takes place when denatured proteins and sugars meet temperatures of around 300-500º F (150-260º C) and combine, making meat turn brown and taste absolutely delicious. The reaction was named for its discoverer, French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard, who first wrote about its browning effects in 1912. His discovery didn't gain immediate ground in kitchens, however. It wasn't until the 1940s that people understood the connection between browning and flavor, and even then, most research was performed on how to avoid the reaction because the flavor changes were considered undesirable. Eventually, scientists were able to analyze the many thousands of aromatic and flavor compounds the Maillard reaction can produce, not only in grilled meat but in bread, coffee beans, and other foods that get more flavorful as they turn brown. These compounds include pyrazines, which lend a roasted flavor; alkylpyrazines, which impart a nutty quality; and acylpyridines, which have a cracker-like aroma. We've collected some awesome videos on this topic. Watch them now to learn more.

Cam/lifter break in Oil
I am replacing the cam/lifters in my Chev 292 inline 6. I went to a thread on the forum 2004 date about oil and break-in lubes for engines. The thread centered around the zinc content (none) in the new oils. I cannot find moly in any of the auto stores here. I found 2 GM (additives) one is a Cam/lifter break in lube the other is a new engine additive that can be added to the crankcase for break in purposes. Now, my question, since the lack of zinc is something we are stuck with, I wonder about using Lucas Synthetic oil supplement (since I use mobil 1 in the crankcase) for a cam /lifter pre lube. I do all the good stuff, with engine pre-lube, using a dummy distributor shaft on a drill to fill all the journals and pressurize the oil system.
The attribute of the good synthetic oils is anti-scuff, which why I use it in all my engines with good result. This is the first time that I have built an engine, since my teen age days of hot rodding(i am 65 now) so my knowledge may not be quite up to date. The last engine I built was in 1969, a hot Chev 409, which served me well for 20 years.
Thanks to all.....

3G vs 4G which one to choose?
3G has revolutionised how society connects – we're no longer tethered to cables and wires or even have to stay within the reach of a Wi-Fi router. Today, most mobile devices come with 3G functionality with access to reliable and fast internet connection virtually everywhere. Related Articles 3G – not just for smartphones anymore Road Ahead for Indian Telecom Portable Wifi Hotspot – Who Else Wants On-the-spot Online network Access Pole to pole They Are? Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not)
Now, wireless broadband internet providers are lauding the arrival of 4G – the next milestone in internet connectivity. In Australia, Telstra is the first of the major internet service providers to activate its 4G network just last month although connection to the new 4G network is currently limited to Telstra coverage in metro areas. The ISP also plans to introduce a 4G capable mobile phone from HTC in its devices line-up early next year.
3G vs 4G – what's the difference
According to Telstra and other broadband internet providers worldwide, the new 4G network boasts much faster access speeds, up to 25 times faster than the current 3G capabilities, according to Telstra.
Download speeds are reported to range from 2 to 40 Mbps and upload rates from 1 to 10 Mbps. These faster download and upload speeds will be especially helpful for users that consume intensive multimedia content including streaming for music and videos.
Of course, Telstra is actually not the first player to the game. Vivid Wireless provides a service that uses WiMax technology that provides speeds that have been compared to 4G. This has been available since 2010 but the network is limited to the major capital cities. For Telstra customers, the advantage of Telstra's 4G service becomes apparent when they wander outside of the 4G coverage – the device automatically seeks out Telstra's Next-G service where 4G is not available, giving users mobile broadband coverage virtually anywhere in Australia.
Telstra's 4G network access is currently limited to certain devices in key metro areas. In terms of mobile phones, a number of manufacturers have released 4G compatible models in its international markets including HTC, Motorola and Samsung. Meanwhile, iPhone devotees will find that the latest iPhone 4S won't have 4G capabilities and they'll likely have to wait until the iPhone 5 debuts.
The 3G experience
For most standard mobile broadband users, 3G speeds will likely be sufficient. Most 3G carriers offer reliable coverage throughout Australia. Typical download speeds are around 1.1Mbps – 20Mbps and upload speeds clock in between 300kbps – 3.0 Mbps, although this will greatly depend on your location and network coverage. Most 3G wireless broadband service providers offer network coverage throughout major cities and in many regional areas.
There are a number of 3G mobile broadband providers that offer reliable connection at a number of price points. You can also opt for pre-paid, contract or month-to-month service, making it easy to find the mobile broadband internet plan that's right for you.

Johns Hopkins cancer experts recognize that preserving your voice is of utmost importance. Our multidisciplinary team will take into account your speech and how best to maximize it throughout your treatments here.
For example, there are many surgical options that spare your voice. With advances in laser technology and robotic surgery, it is now possible to access small tumors through the mouth. Lasers can be aimed through a small telescope, causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue. A newer operation that removes part of the voice box leaves intact one or two arytenoids – connective tissue to which the vocal cords are attached. With these structures intact, patients can still have an acceptable voice quality and are still able to swallow. Even after standard operations to remove the larynx, patients can learn to use their lungs and trachea (windpipe) to generate sound.
Some patients with larynx cancer may not need surgery at all. A national research study directed by Dr. Arlene Forastiere at Johns Hopkins has found that simultaneous treatment with chemotherapy and radiation preserved the voice of many patients with advanced larynx cancer without compromising survival rates. Patients who undergo this combined therapy are still advised to be followed closely by a head and neck surgeon, so that surgery can be performed if there is residual or recurrent cancer after treatment. Performed if there is residual or recurrent cancer after treatment.

Passion… An eager desire… Daily diligence to learn and perfect your craft… To be the best at what you do… That's it. Maybe a little luck on top wouldn't hurt :)
Do I have it? Some days I have the eager desire and diligence. Some days I don't. Some days I'm disciplined. Some days I sluff…
Am I the best at my craft? Well, what is my craft? Making websites? Writing? I'm not the best at anything I do. But what is "the best"?
The best is when I write what I'm sincerely passionate about. What is that? A better future for humanity? Making website? Writing stories? Showing that a strong marriage is possible?
Perhaps "the best" it is what I choose it to be. The scary choice is to commit fully 100% to a chosen passion and the day job be damned. That's risky with a family and kids. But I only live once.
I'm not ready to do it yet… But it's coming like a storm. I'm not unique in this thinking. Many have quit their jobs and been successful. But I'm not them and haven't lived their life.
You don't need hours to write a good blog post. You need a brief moment to commit to what you are passionate about. And that commitment needs to last for good.
I'm not the expert on commitment. I'm just saying everyone who I see that is making a success at what they do has that passion, eager desire, and daily commitment to their craft.
They're just like you and me, except they are working while we're sleeping, eating, and playing around. Now, how bad do you want it? How bad do I want it?

what does BWC stand for?
Beauty Without Cruelty. I got really skinny curls with this rather than the more thick clumps I get with the LIs above. It could be because aloe is the 2nd ingredient. When it's further in ingredients lists it's fine, but pure aloe vera gel is just like putting water on my hair. I really wanted to like this because it has some protein in it, which my hair likes, and it smells nice, like lavender.

Also about what is a fair price to get the work done??
Meprolites are trijicon filled tubes. so they are basically the same. pick the best price and buy it
I have Trijicon sights on my Glock 26 and Mepros on my Glock 17. I actually prefer the Mepros, even though the "high speed" guys all say they like Trij. The sight picture on the Mepros is a little bigger, blockier, and easier to acquire - at least to my eyes. Despite this, the Mepros were about $30 less expensive than the Trij! :mrgreen:
I carry a G23 too. I recently did a little sight work on mine though not night quality the sight picture is better. I used model paint- orange and green (bright). It works great and saved me a few bucks until I can get a good night sight.
I got trijicon for my 1911 and have been very happy with them! I have not tryed meps.
I love the meps that Kimber puts on their own 1911s (Kimber bought meprolight a while back)
Yeh I agree with the rest. I have Mepro dots, front being yellow and they were cheaper than trij with the same glow warranty.
I've had Meps on my last 4 Glocks, and loved them all; my son has Trijicons on his G19. I've shot it, and visually there seems to be very little difference (to me, at least). On the other hand, I've installed both Meps and Trij on Glocks, and the one thing that stuck with me is the fact that the Trij front sight body is hollow; if you look into the screw hole in the bottom, you can see the side of the tritium tube in the top of the sight. For this reason, I've always gone with the Meps, as it looked like the front sight was solid, and because of that, sturdier.
still debating on which sites. I pretty much narrowed it down to either the mepro's or trijicon's but heres the next issue. Green sights all the way around???? or mix and match them to getter quicker eye adjustment to the front site??? I'm leaning to getting the green all the way around.
If you guys prefer different colors, can you guys take pics and show me the difference. I saw the yellow and green combo and red and green combo but didn't really appeal to me that much?
What you guys think?
I painted Orange up front and Green in back and I like it. I like the contrasting colors.
I had a set of Ameriglos put on my G19 when I bought it, and I have been VERY happy with them. The sight picture is great.
Don't overlook the Glock night sights. The viles are made by Mepro, but the bodies are made by Glock and are coated in Tenifer. They should run you a good bit less the Trijs or Meps. Plus, they have a longer warranty. I just got a set for my G27, but I haven't installed them yet.
As for the price of installing them, I'd push for free installation.

Yesterday I suggested that the new Microsoft Store won't be a big concern for VARs, who tend to be less concerned about commodity software margins than the actual value-add they provide. Distributors on the other hand, may have different concerns.
An article on Channel Web noted that distributors, and some of the big office supply and big box retailers may be taking a hit. The microsoft Store lets customers buy Microsoft software, and have a choice between receiving a physical copy or receive a download via Electronic Software Distribution (ESD).
There is a convenience factor there, even though some discount retailers will offer the Microsoft software at lower prices than can be found on the Microsoft store. I'm looking out my window right now at eight inches of snow, and if I were in need of a copy of Microsoft Office right now, I'd opt for avoiding the office supply store whenever possible. This may well be a step towards creating a more direct sales model for Microsoft.

Dundela rise to league summit after winning nine-goal thriller against Welders
Dundela have shot to the top of the table thanks to a sensational 6-3 win over derby rivals Harland & Wolff Welders at Tillysburn.
The Duns have been in fine form this season, but they surpassed themselves on Saturday with one of the finest 45 minutes of football the club has ever produced.
A delighted Mark Snodden praised his players for their incredible derby victory.
"It's a great feeling to win our local derby by such a comfortable margin. Our first half performance was as well as we've played since I've been managing the club," he said.
"I had a chat with the players before the game and I told them it was important to get off to a good start, as the Welders will be a little low on confidence after losing in the Steel & Sons Cup last week, but I never expected anything like that.
"At half time, I usually have a list of things written down to discuss with the players, but at 5-1 up, what can you say? It was a great day."
Dundela raced into a 4-0 lead and were 5-1 up at the break. Glentoran legend Michael Halliday scored two early goals before Carl McCombe added a third. Kyle Cherry scored a fourth with a stunning free kick, before Matty Burrows pulled a goal back.
Halliday secured his hat-trick just before half time to restore the Duns' remarkable four-goal lead.
The scoring didn't end there. Burrows scored another against his old side, before McCombe made it 6-2. Young winger Stephen Cockcroft completed the scoring, but it wasn't enough to stop Dundela from claiming a remarkable six-goal victory.
The 6-3 hammering, along with Institute's 1-1 draw with Loughgall, took Mark Snodden's men to the top of the Belfast Telegraph Championship One League table.
Snodden said: "We've been joint or joint top since the first day of the season, but I'm not reading too much into it.
"Hopefully come April we will still have our hat in the ring, but for now we're just trying to put in good performances and win football matches. In this league, if you lose a couple of games then it can all change very quickly, but at the moment I'm more than happy."
Dundela will hope to cement their place at the top of the division with a victory over Donegal Celtic in this Saturday's game at Wilgar Park.

This week's been a crazy one here at TOPC, so I'm rolling out the red carpet to officially welcome the weekend's much anticipated arrival!
I'm looking forward to a movie night and popcorn at home with my favorite guy. Trying out some new recipes I've been dying to experiment with. Whipping up a few home cooked meals from the local produce I plan on buying at the organic farmers market in Santa Monica. Tackling a crown moulding project I've been putting off all week. And squeezing in a few hours of flea marketing for treasures.
Yes, I know it's pretty optimistic of me to think I can wrangle all this in within the next 2 days, but I'm a glass-is-always-full kinda girl : )
A couple fun things to help kick off your weekend…
Don't forget to check out March's new Cottage of the Month. I've featured Alison from The Polohouse, and I think I've already died and gone to heaven twice. So magnificent. I've given Alison fair warning that I just might show up at her front door one day with my suitcases packed.
Also, our sidebar sponsor Barbara, from Brick House Fabrics, is having a "Mad as a March hare" sale going on right now, with many fabrics marked down to $9.99 to help clear stock for over 100 new fabrics they are expecting. The sale is going to run through the next three weeks.
I want to thank you for your thoughtful comments on my photo from last weeks post.
A few random facts…
1. You probably couldn't tell, but I'm incredibly camera shy.
2. I took the photo myself. I hit the timer on the camera, ran straight for the chair and quickly threw my legs over the arm.
3. I'm a complete goofball.
4. I'm going to burn that sweater as soon as I finish typing this post. You wouldn't know it by that photo, but I've lost an incredible amount of weight (more on that soon, promise). I think the care tag on that sweater should have read "Warning: sweater guaranteed to add 50lbs". Cheers!
Have a happy weekend friends, whatever your plans may be : )
Till next time, click and keep up with us on our favorite sites….

text: "As part of Merck's ongoing efforts to reduce the rates of maternal mortality across the world, we hope to galvanize the American public around this issue," said Naveen Rao, M.D., Lead, Merck for Mothers. "All of us can play a role in getting women the maternal care they need."How To Get Involved For every mother who's given birth, there's a story to be told. Merck invites you to visit the Merck for Mothers Facebook page, www.facebook.com/MerckforMothers, to learn more about this issue and join Melissa Joan Hart in sharing a birth memory of the day someone you love was born. Each story will trigger a donation from Merck to Join My Village, an innovative social change initiative that empowers women and girls in developing countries by increasing their access to health programs, and educational and economic opportunities through the humanitarian organization CARE. Making a Difference Through Merck for Mothers The United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) seek to address the world's greatest development priorities, with MDG 5 focused on reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 percent by 2015. With this goal lagging the furthest behind, Merck has joined the global effort and made a long-term commitment to the issue. Drawing on Merck's history of discovering innovative, life-saving medicines and vaccines, Merck for Mothers is applying the company's scientific and business expertise – as well as our financial resources and experience in taking on tough global healthcare challenges – to reduce maternal mortality around the world. Survey Methodology This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Merck in September 2012 among 2,282 U.S. adults aged 18 and older, including 1,382 mothers. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. For complete survey methodology, including weighting variables and subgroup sample sizes, please contact Jennifer Allen Woodruff at (908) 423-6301. About Merck Today's Merck is a global healthcare leader working to help the world be well. Merck is known as MSD outside the United States and Canada. Through our prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, and consumer care and animal health products, we work with customers and operate in more than 140 countries to deliver innovative health solutions.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
We have mountains. Go Sierra Nevada's!!!
Within a 1 mile radius of my house is roughly 400 feet in elevation difference. I only live around 250 feet above sea level, so I'm close to the half way point of the hill I'm on. I drive up and down several hills everyday.
That might help explain why a tiny bit of snow and ice will bring Seattle to a grinding halt, with businesses and schools closing their doors at the mere possibility of snowfall in the weather forecast.
Yeah, Seattle is all hills. You've got your choice of gentle to holy crap.
I live in the Florida 'mountains'. Believe it or not, there are some pretty massive hills around here. More than what we had when we lived in the NC foothills. The street beside of us has a nice long hill. You should see my son & his friends longboard down it!
Yep! I live on it!
I remember the "big hill" on my block growing up. It was like 3 feet. But, hey, you learned to get a kick out of sledding a few feet. When I got a little bigger, I found out there was a much better sledding hill a few blocks away. The only catch was that it was in a cemetery.
"The Hill" in Grosse Pointe (where the wife grew up) is a bump at most 3ft. high
The big hill is about 5000' high. There's a mountain behind that that's about 8000' high. Love the Wasatch range!
The only hills we have are freeway overpasses. Everything is dead flat for miles and miles.
We have lots.. and paved trails all over them. There is lots of longboarding that goes on in our community.
I live in Florida. The biggest hills here are garbage dumps with grass on them And tubes to vent the gasses.

Keller Williams in Ahwatukee Foothills recently unveiled a financing program one real estate agent says is a win-win for all parties involved.
The program, titled "The Keller Williams Realty Stimulus Package," allows sellers to buy percentage points off their mortgage rate, making the sale more attractive to buyers. Realtor Richie Laser said it benefits the buyers, the sellers and the community because it can keep average home prices up.
"It's a no-brainer for both parties," he said. "Customers just need to be aware that it's out there. A lot of people are used to conventional financing."
An example is that a person selling a $400,000 home can pay $9,600 to drop their interest rate from 5 percent to 4 percent. Being able to lower the interest rate by a point or two, the seller can make the deal more attractive to perspective buyers.
"You have a lot of homes on the market right now and a lot of competition," Laser said. "This is incentive for a buyer to look at their house. The seller is getting money toward closing, and it decreases the interest rate for the buyer."
Keeping average home values high is another goal of the program.
"Instead of offering a lower price, the seller can buy a point," Laser said. "It's trying to uphold the average price for the community."
Although it is not a new program, as it was in the 1970s, Keller Williams recently kicked off the latest version in offices throughout the Phoenix-metro area.
To find out more about the program, visit www.KellerWilliams.com.

3. UN-SPIDER Support to the Samoa Simulation Exercise 3-4 December 2011 In order to connect the Volunteer and Technical Communities (V&TCs) with the space industry as well as the disaster management community, the UN-SPIDER Programme is carrying out a one-year project: "Space-based Information for Crowdsource Mapping", with the view to identifying specific actions that could ensure a closer cooperation among the three communities. One of the activities of the project is the Samoa Simulation Exercise which took place on 3-4 December, 2011, and was supported by the CrisisMappers Network, UNOCHA, Stand By Task Force, Humanity Road, The Government of Samoa, GDACS, US State Department, USGS, Digital Globe, Google, Ushahidi, Pinpoint Alerts, Crisis Commons, European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC) and GISCorps. The exercise utilized local public and private actors at the ground level for disaster response training and coordination activities. Meanwhile, the virtual community was responsible for simulating storm surge modelling, providing imaging data, and generating field requests and reports. Reports and datasets were produced for post-processing and analysis of the simulated impact of the storm and effectiveness of the crowdsourcing coordination efforts. The analysis made available can be accessed at GIS Corps website. For further information >> David Stevens 4.

The flood caused 30 deaths and displaced nearly 2000 people. As a way to contribute to the response operations, the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) activated the International Charter: Space and Major Disaster on the 29th of August 2011 (Charter Call 370). Taking into consideration the fact that this was the second time the Charter was activated in Nigeria regarding floods, a Post-Charter activation Review Meeting was hosted by NEMA in collaboration with the UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office in Nigeria on 9 December 2011. The review meeting included major actors which were active during the Charter activation. Participants concluded that the Charter activation was better coordinated in this second case when compared to the previous case. For example, improved internet service made it possible for rapid download of the data provided by the Charter. As a result, the processing of satellite images was swift and timely. However, participants also identified critical constraints. For example, poor internet connectivity in the area affected by floods inhibited a rapid transmission of the final products to the end users in the field during the response phase of the disaster. It was therefore agreed that such final products should be prepared in PDF format and that a database of value adders should be compiled. Such actions will reduce the time lag between the finished products and the application by end users. For further information >> James Godstime
Community News 10.TURKSAT supports Somalia's Emergency Telecommunications Infrastructure Turksat AS, the Turkish public satellite telecommunications company which is an active supporter of UN-SPIDER activities, provided emergency communication services to the Turkish Red Crescent in Somalia. Turksat sent technical personnel to the capital city Mogadishu to set up a satellite 2.4-meter wide antenna and deployed VSAT infrastructure in the Red Crescent Operations Center. Turksat was also able to mobilize Intelsat IS-17 to provide service for 20 days during the famine response. Turksat has also provided all voice and data communication needs for the six field hospitals which were promised by the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Somalia.

Geospatial initiative shows the way GeoSUR, a Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) open-access and web-based initiative for geospatial datasharing, has received a boost at the Eye on Earth Summit in Abu Dhabi (12-15 December). The conference "Networks of Networks" working group accepted GeoSUR – one of the first such regional networks in the developing world – as a "case model". As stated by Eric Van Praag, coordinator of GeoSUR: "This could help to use the lessons we learned as a starting point to build similar networks in other developing regions.

ITU and Luxembourg to cooperate in telecommunications for disaster response ITU and the Government of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg have agreed to cooperate on the strengthening of emergency telecommunications and rapid response in the event of natural disasters. ITU and Luxembourg are members of the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC), which is comprised of UN agencies and other humanitarian partners. The Government of Luxembourg has developed a nomadic satellite-based telecommunication system – 'emergency.lu' – aimed at assisting humanitarian agencies which have to respond to communities affected by natural disasters, conflicts or protracted crises. This platform will be available as a global public good to the international humanitarian community as of 1 January 2012, with Luxembourg funding its development, implementation, operation and maintenance to the tune of € 17.2 million.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data could speed up tsunami warnings Faster tsunami warnings could be issued through the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems alongside existing earthquake detection technology, scientists have found. GNSS data — provided by a satellite navigation system — could help cut the time lag from 20 minutes to around three minutes, according to results presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in the United States earlier this month. Seismic instruments — on which current warning systems are based — can take a long time to assess accurately an earthquake's characteristics, because readings from several locations need to be analysed. However, GNSS stations can measure large vertical drops in ground elevation — the factor responsible for tsunamis — in real time. This information, when added to preliminary seismic data from the same location, can determine the size — and likely effects — of the earthquake in a matter of minutes.

Night-Time Images Help Track Disease From The Sky Normally used to spot where people live, satellite images of night-time lights can help keep tabs on the diseases festering among them, too, according to new research. Princeton University-led researchers report in the journal Science Dec. 9 that night-time-lights imagery presents a new tool for pinpointing disease hotspots in developing nations by revealing the population boom that typically coincides with seasonal epidemics. In
urban areas with migratory populations, the images can indicate where people are clustering by capturing the expansion and increasing brightness of lighted areas. The researchers found the technique accurately indicates fluctuations in population density — and thus the risk of epidemic — that can elude current methods of monitoring outbreaks.

The International Charter is activated for Chile, Philippines and Ghana On 30 December 2011 the Charter was activated at the request of Chile when a massive forest fire raged through the Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile. The fire had been caused by high fanned winds and dry vegetation and spread across the area very quickly. Four hundred tourists had to be evacuated from the national park as fire fighters tried to control the fire. Officials confirmed that more than 85 sq.km (21,000 acres) of land had been destroyed in the event. The Charter was also activated at the request of the Philippines when Typhoon Washi hit Iligan City, Philippines, on 16 December 2011. The typhoon triggered flash floods and landslides, killing more than 650 people and leaving roughly 800 persons missing. The Charter was also activated to support emergency response efforts in Accra, Ghana, due to torrential rains that caused flooding in this capital city. Government officials confirmed 9 fatalities.

I grew up in Indiana and as a kid, if you could find me, I was probably out trekking in the woods, adventuring. The same holds true today as I try to take every opportunity I can to explore. I came across photography by accident in college and I fell in love with the medium. After living in the Midwest and California, I now call Brooklyn my home. I shoot locally and travel all over the world on assignments, documenting events, people, stories and places. My eye has been drawn to seek the magical in the mundane -the stuff that makes our lives worth every breath- and to capture the fleeting light that fills us with awe, wonder, love and inspiration. Thanks for taking a look!

Needless to say: SPOILERS!
Hype can only cause so much disappointment. Sure, built-up anticipation can make a bad game that much harder to take. It can even serve as a lubricant, helping make a game's rough areas easier to pass. But when The Last of Us was first announced and every game publication on the planet was singing its praises, I was keeping my expectations in check. When Naughty Dog claimed they were going to "change the f**cking industry" I shrugged it off with a "we'll see". I love the Uncharted series, but I knew 'The Last of Us' was new territory for this Sony-exclusive company. Other than "hoping it's good" I didn't have a lot of expectations for this game.
To be fair, The Last of Us started out on the right foot. Taking control of young Sarah and following her father Joel and uncle Tommy as a zombie-apocalypse breaks out things go from normal to frantic in a matter of moments. From walking around an empty house to a zombie suddenly bursting in through a glass door; from quietly driving along a country road only to crash through an infected crowd; from barely outrunning a group of zombies only to be gunned down by a human soldier. It was thrilling, it was emotional and by (mostly) keeping me in control of Sarah and Joel The Last of Us' prologue achieved a near-perfect blend of gameplay and story-telling as it reached it's heartbreaking conclusion.
Hell, at this point I was ready to call TLOU my Game of the Year!
While this level of interactive story-telling would make Quantic Dream and Telltale envious, 'The Last of Us' unfortunately never came close to that height again. The narrative became disappointingly atypical with an older (and grumpier) Joel bonding with plucky-teen Ellie on a post-apocalyptic adventure that hits on every trope in the genre (from bandits, to zombie-ish clickers, to disposable side-characters, to shouty confrontations) with very few surprises along the way. That it was obvious where Joel and Ellie's relationship was going the second they meet really didn't help matters.
Gee, ya think she reminds him of someone?
Once Joel and Ellie's road trip settled into it's predictable format (three to four hours in) I quickly lost interested in 'The Last of Us'. Characters like Bill and Tess were certainly well-realized in the brief time I got to know them (thanks to the terrific performances) and if it wasn't so obvious Henry and Sam were going to die I might've let myself be more invested during the Summer/Urban sections of the game. Ellie's meeting with David, the cannibal/rapist certainly cranked up the tension in later levels, but the impact of these "shocking" moments felt cushioned thanks to the TLOU's lightweight story-telling. Only the ending was a welcome change from expectations, bravely leaving the fate of Joel and Ellie's relationship open to interpretation...even if it was mostly delivered via cinematic.
I know how I SHOULD be feeling, I'm just not feeling it
With cutscenes (for the most part) being driven by little more than characters yelling at each other it's a good thing that 'The Last of Us' was a crafty, mostly fun game to control. Like the best parts of Uncharted 3, I was able to choose my approach when sneaking up on a group of enemies, taking them down one by one or distracting them so Joel and Ellie could sneak around. Controlling both characters, even as they fought off waves of sieging clickers could get pretty intense as my ammo started to drain and I had to get creative using my weapons, tools and the environment. Of course this is nothing new to video games but it does show using tried-and-true mechanics can still be exciting when implemented right.
You wanna "protect" Ellie? She's kicking-ass better than Joel!
Obviously there are moments I enjoyed in The' Last of Us'; the gameplay can be a lot of fun (when I'm not just wandering around and moving platforms) and the story does eventually pay-off in the end. But far too often I felt like I was in Naughty Dog's story room, watching their writers settle for already-proven emotional-beats instead of creating something truly unique. 'The Last of Us' is certainly the most award-winniest game to come out in a while, and if that's all it takes to "change the f**king industry" then more power to it and it's fans. I just wish I was one of them.
So, I know it's been ten months but what did you think of The Last of Us? Did it meet your expectations? Are you going to be picking up the PS4 release this summer?

Our mission: To promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports.
Twenty Years of Serving Novice Outdoorswomen
Becoming An Outdoors-Woman provides weekend workshops around the country
By Barb Baird
It started with one workshop in Wisconsin in 1991. An outdoor skills program for women, Becoming An Outdoors-Woman (BOW), now offers more than 80 weekend-long workshops throughout North America annually. Because of BOW, about a half a million women have been introduced to outdoor skills over the past 20 years. According to Director Peggy Farrell, "All regular BOW workshops are required to have one-third hunting-shooting, one-third fishing and one-third 'other' classes like camping, canoeing, etc."
Dr. Christine Thomas, Dean of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, developed the program and said, "It has really changed lives. Not the least of which has been mine. ... This popular program has had many dedicated coordinators who have advanced in their careers as a result of this experience. Instructors love the program and clamor to teach in it, because they change the lives of the women who take their classes. The women tell us that this experience improves their self-esteem, raises their self-confidence -- and is just plain fun."
Thomas credited the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), among others, for the success of the program. She said, "NSSF was the first major sponsor of BOW. Bob Delfay, Doug Painter and Steve Sanetti have been steadfast through the years."
Farrell described a typical weekend in the BOW program: "The original concept and format of BOW, a Friday-Sunday workshop offering more than 20 different classes with topics divided equally among hunting and shooting, fishing and boating, and complementary activities like camping and bird watching have not changed." Today's BOW finds workshops in 38 states, Canada and New Zealand. It also has expanded into occasional "Beyond BOW" activities, which might include a one-day shotgun event or a four-day wilderness canoe trip.
Farrell said that anyone who signs up for a shooting class first takes a 3 ½ hour firearms safety class, without live shooting. She said, "We cover the basics of safe firearm handling, nomenclature, difference between a rifle and shotgun, gauges and calibers, a little bit about ammunition, and spend about 1 ½ hours with hands-on gun handling so that participants have an opportunity to safely pick up an unloaded gun, work the action, become familiar with different safety buttons and their placement and practice keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction."
Whoo hoo!
Farrell said the feedback from participants in the firearms' courses is best described with "Whoo hoo!" She elaborated, "When one gal breaks a clay target at the shotgun range, all the others cheer her on. Woo hoo! And when someone hits the bull's-eye at the rifle range, there are high-fives and hugs. And more Woo hoo!"
Susan Herrgesell began her affiliation with BOW as the state coordinator for the California program in 1997. The state cut the program in 2003 because of budget constraints. She said, "I resurrected the program as a nonprofit organization in 2005 and have been serving as president ever since. We have a board of directors that steers the organization. We depend on grants and donations to keep the program alive. We are all passionate volunteers." About women and first-time shooting experiences, she noted, "We hear words like 'empowered' and 'thrilling.'"
Herrgesell tells the story of a day on the shotgun range with a woman who stood there, shotgun in hand, and would not fire the gun at a flying clay target. Herrgesell urged her to shoot the gun downrange, just to pull the trigger and experience the effects. The woman did, shattered that clay and every other one thrown for her. Two months later, that woman received a Benelli shotgun for Christmas. The following year, she was shooting competitively. Said Herrgesell, "That's the kind of thing that happens at a BOW workshop!"
Californian Bridget Maloney-Krips credits BOW with her reintroduction to shooting. She said that although she spent time as a child shooting with her dad, she turned to BOW to reacquaint her with skills so that she felt comfortable taking her son on a junior duck hunt. She described the first BOW experience: "It filled my weekend with hunter safety, gun basics and shooting on the range. This was the great fun." Since then, she has participated in a BOW duck hunt and pheasant shoot. She said, "Yes I got birds. One thing I guarantee, you will never find another sport that fulfills the inner experience. Shooting accuracy relies on slowing down, controlled breathing and quieting the sprit within."
Each year, Krips marks her calendar for opening weekend hunts and meets friends in the field and on the range. She said, "BOW opened doors for another side of what I can do to enjoy life."

Justin Bieber Was Harassed And Stalked By Now Deceased Photographer
TMZ reports that Chris Guerra, the photographer who died trying to get photos of Justin Bieber, actually stalked and harassed Bieber prior to the day he was killed. It's also believed that he lied about Bieber smoking marijuana.
Sources connected with Bieber say that Guerra followed and chased him at every opportunity. The source claims that Guerra lied when he called a friend and said that he saw Bieber smoking pot from a pipe while driving his Ferrari, because the only time Bieber left the Four Seasons on New Year's Day was to go to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. There was no pipe.
The source also claims Guerra was lying when he said he saw a car belonging to Selena Gomez. The two went to Mexico for New Year's Eve, but had another fight on December 30 and broke up again. Gomez left Mexico on the 30th and Bieber went to Los Angeles on the 31st. They haven't seen each other since, so she was never at the Four Seasons.
Finally, the source says Bieber had "very little respect" for Chris Guerra but hasn't said anything out of respect for his family. Guerra made that "very difficult by telling this guy (his friend) lies about Justin."

xts driver memory
is the only way to activate driver #2 seat memory by pressing button on door. I'm tired of standing in the rain and snow waiting for the seat to move as my wife and I have dramatically different settings. this is my third Cadillac and have never experienced this. dealership is no help. I have read the manual several times. any help/input on a solution would be appreciated.
Re: xts driver memory
I don't know if this works the same as my STS, but if you are changing driver memories settings, while approaching, use the unlock button for the setting you want to have set. My '06 used to adjust memory settings to whichever FOB was recognized (while approaching the vehicle) but with my '11 I'm having similar problems as you report for your XTS (and need to use the unlock button). I liked the old way better.
