Mars Scout Program
The Mars Scout Program is a new line of small robotic Mars missions which will be selected from proposals from the science community, and might involve airborne vehicles (e.g., airplanes or balloons) or small landers, as an investigation platform. New vistas could be opened up by this approach either through the airborne scale of observation or by increasing the number of sites visited.
The first Scout mission to be selected is a lander called Phoenix, proposed by the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, which will search for signs of water near one of the poles of the Red Planet.

2014 Detroit: Chevrolet IndyCar Race Two Quotes

2014 Detroit: Chevrolet IndyCar Race Two Quotes
HELIO CASTRONEVES, NO. 3 HITACHI TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: "We came out with the Hitachi car. Spot on. I mean yesterday it was a frustration, obviously. Great that (Team Penske) won but a frustration for our side because we knew what car we had and we demonstrated it today. I want to thank Hitachi obviously, Shell, Pennzoil. It was great. Also AAA, SKF, Verizon. Especially Chevy, man. This is the land of Chevy and we made it. Two! That was great. Iâm so happy for Team Penske."
YOU CLIMBED THE FENCE HERE 13 YEARS AGO, WHATâS IT LIKE TO CLIMB IT AGAIN TODAY? "It is just as good as the first one. I will tell you; this crowd is awesome, the car was amazing, and Roger did a fantastic job with the strategy. I want to thank Hitachi, SKF, Chevrolet, Shell-Pennzoil, Meijer, and all our sponsors because this is just absolutely amazing to be here. We have so many friends here and itâs just awesome. The Hitachi Chevrolet was just so fast man. I feel like I missed an opportunity yesterday but it was perfect strategy today and Roger is one of the best at setting strategy for these race."
YOU HAD CHECKED OUT ON THE FIELD BUT WHEN THAT CAUTION CAME OUT, WAS THERE ANY DOUBT YOU COULD DO IT? "I had everything under control. I told Roger and he was telling me the times of the gaps between 2nd and 3rd place and I said, âno worries, Iâm fine, Iâm good and I am just taking it easyâ. We got through all the obstacles and saved it all for the end. We had push to pass, we had fresher tires and we had everything. Wow, I am just so pumped."
WILL POWER, NO. 12 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, FINISHED 2ND: ON THE TEAM PENSKE ONE-TWO FINISH: "Because of Roger (Penske), I definitely wasnât going to race him hard. Unless (Helio Castroneves) made a mistake, I wasnât going to go for a move unless I was close. A great day for Chevy, Roger at his home track and Chevyâs backyard. Just fantastic."
ON EARLY MOVE THAT RESULTED IN PENALTY: "I went up the inside and I donât think Josef saw me. It wasnât that hard a hit and Iâd have to see the replay.
TWO FINISHES ON THE PODIUM THIS WEEKEND, FIRST YESTERDAY AND: Chevrolet so I am feeling good even though we had the drive through (penalty). So I will take second because so many times I have been on the wrong end of those calls."
WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS AT THE END? DID YOU THINK YOU HAD A SHOT AT IT AND YOU HAD A TEAMMATE TO PASS WITH A FAST CAR? "I thought about attacking him but a 1-2 finish was better than two in the wall so we were happy with second there and get some good points."
CHARLIE KIMBALL, NO. 83 NOVOLOG FLEXPEN CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 3RD: "I knew that I had no overtakes left and he had one overtake left going down the back straight and that was his last best opportunity, so I defended into the inside. When he got alongside me we went into the corner side-by-side. Itâs so hard because as much as the Firestones marbled today when you were offline. You really start sliding around. It caught Scott out and I was able to take advantage of that. So I knew if I could put Hinch offline at the apex then I could get the drive out of the corner and hold onto the line. It was nice I was able to help Hinch enough that Scott would be able to come through and for Chip Ganassi racing end up third and fourth."
SCOTT DIXON, NO. 9 TARGET CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 4TH: "A huge credit to the Target team coming from dead last to fourth. That's a huge accomplishment. We had some brake issues on the second to last restart and that cost us in the end. Overall a good day and the team did a good job on strategy."
TONY KANAAN, NO.10 ENERGIZER CHIP GANASSI CHEVROLET, FINISHED 9TH: We had a decent Energizer car but we really werenât in the mix today. We had a great result yesterday in the first of the doubleheaders but today they race just didnât work out the way we wanted it to. On to Texas."
RYAN BRISCOE, NO. 8 NTT DATA CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 10TH: "We had a great starting position for the second dual but the race just didnât play out the way we needed it to. I think we pit at the right times and made the best calls we could given the way the yellow flags came out, but thatâs just the way it works sometimes. The racing was fast and extremely competitive like it always is and that just goes to show you how difficult it is to be up front here in the IndyCar Series right now."
MIKE CONWAY, NO. 20 FUZZYâS ULTRA PREMIUM VODKA ED CARPENTER RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 11TH: "Starting on the black tires was a good move today. I was able to get pass several guys early. But, to be honest, Hinch (James Hinchcliffe) had power off the corners even with the red tires. And it took me some time to finally get under him in turn 3. I didnât want to use up all of my âovertakesâ too early in the race. That amount of time trying to get by him cost us at the end of the race. The red tires were pretty good for me. They went off a little but I was pushing hard. The right front tire was locking up and it was getting worse. So I decided to pit early for the fresh black tires or I was going to crash. It is tough to pass here and I made some good ones today. At the end, I was pushing every lap like a qualifying lap. And it was fun and we learned some more for the team. I was happy how the car was hooked up. We just didnât get the yellows to fall our way today. It was fun to push the car as hard as I did today. Just wish for a better result. Now, itâs on to Houston for me next."
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, NO. 2 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, FINISHED 13TH: "Good speed in the No. 2 Verizon Chevy today. We just got bitten on strategy a little. I think we were a top-five car, speed-wise, so that's encouraging. I'm really looking forward to Texas."
SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS: No. 11 No. 11 TEAM MISTIC - KVSH RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 20TH: "It was a difficult weekend. We struggled with the setup right off the truck. The Mistic E-Cigs team worked hard to find a solution and the car was quicker but very hard to drive after we made some changes following todayâs qualifying. Unfortunately, while I was chasing TK (Tony Kanaan) I locked up the left front and ended my day in the tires. I feel bad for the team and the sponsors. We just have to put this weekend behind us and move on to Texas."
SEBASTIAN SAAVEDRA, NO. AFS 17 KV AFS RACING CHEVROLET, FINISHED 22ND: "I am very disappointed with this early retirement. We had an amazing start and the changes the KV AFS Racing crew did overnight gave the car a very strong race pace. I made a mistake trying to get around Conway. I just got a little bit too close to him, my air was chopped and I got too close to the wallâ¦..itâs my fault. Iâm disappointed with myself as I donât make these types of mistakes, we have kept the car clean all season so this is unacceptable. Time to work towards Texas, we have a very strong car from now on, which makes me very positive. I am looking forward to starting to bring home the results and getting back into the fight for the championship."

By design, m0n0wall doesn't keep its logs. It only keeps a small tail to
aid in troubleshooting. If you want real logging, you should log to a
loghost in your LAN, using syslog. This is generally the preferred method
for firewalls anyway, for quite obvious reasons: if the firewall is
somehow compromised, the logs are still safe.
> How can you "wear out" a CF card anyway?
Repeated writing to the same areas will eventually break the card.
Frequent appends to files (as in logging) tend to do this rather quickly,
since the meta information is updated each time, always writing to the
same location in flash memory. This is the reason for mounting the cards

Hi all,
When checking the log files I noticed an user tried to comment, but the comment is nowhere to find. When in test-mode Mollom (7.x-2.3 and 7.x-2.3+5-dev) response as expected. Below the log details:
postBody = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
authorName = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
authorMail = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
authorUrl = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
authorIp = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
checks =
0 = 'spam'
1 = 'profanity'
strictness = 'relaxed'
Response 200:
code = '200'
content =
id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
spamScore = '0.0'
profanityScore = '0.0'
spamClassification = 'ham'
It seems that the homepage has to be correctly filled (http://) or Drupal returns error and Mollom shows CAPTCHA. However I don't see in particular user's log that a CAPTCHA was provided, yet while testing myself it shows up correctly. Any suggestions?
Reply appreciated! Thanks.

Hm. There's no relationship between the Homepage/URL input field and the Mollom CAPTCHA.
If you configured your comment form to require anonymous users to fill out their contact information (including homepage), then the comment form will throw a form validation error, if a field was left empty. That is not part of the Mollom module functionality though.
In general, if you do not see log messages about a CAPTCHA being retrieved for a particular post, then that means that the user was not challenged with one.
Since the spamClassification of this post was "ham", I can only guess that the user simply decided to not leave a comment — i.e., an independent, human decision, completely unrelated to the Mollom functionality. ;)
I hope that makes sense to you. I'm going to close this issue for now.

MSC: A Big Boost from a Buyout
By Mara Der Hovanesian
For a virtual test drive of their products, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, and NASA look to MSC.Software (MNS ). MSC's simulation software lets companies digitally stress-test designs for products such as cars and rockets before manufacturing begins. Now, MSC has created versions of its software to make it accessible to companies that have smaller, more mundane products--and that want to get to market faster. It has signed up Cooper Tire, Medtronics, and Cleveland Golf, which is using the simulation software to test new clubs. MSC is "expanding by taking a product loved by engineers to the mainstream," says Daniel Bandi, co-manager of the $580 million Armada Small-Cap Value Fund. Bandi holds a 2% stake in MSC. On May 22, MSC hit a 52-week high of $18.85. Bandi's yearend target is $30.
Other forces could push the stock higher, says Bandi, such as perhaps joining the Russell 2000 on June 30. The company may also be buyout bait, says Bandi. In May, France's Dassault Systemes traded its 19% stake in an IT group, Advanced Enterprise Solutions (AES ), for 9% of MSC. (MSC had acquired AES on Apr. 24.) Bandi says a Dassault takeover has been rumored for "several years," but the stakes are higher now. Merrill Lynch's Jay Vleeschhouwer is bullish on the stock, but skeptical about the takeover. For 2001, he sees revenues of $201.7 million, up 13%, and earnings of $1 a share, up 36%. He adds, though, that if buying AES boosts MSC's profits as much as it has suggested, "the current price could turn out to be conservative."

Pewter transmutation is the result of an approach towards experimental artisanry to be performed in a public place. Through the creation of reusable wooden tools and due to the low melting point of pewter (230°C) the production is not tied to a particular place. Through public manufacturing the public should get involved and fascinated by the process of making.
The leg's rough surface triggers the peoples curiosity and tells its story of creation.
The technique combinds sophisticated handcraft (oak wood) with an low-cost technique of casting pewter into backing paper.
The initial idea arrived from an very German tradition for New Year's Eve, when liquid pewter or lead is poured into water. The pewter's resulting shape gets interpreted to make a prevision for the upcoming year.

Woman denies running massage parlour 'brothel'
A Chinese woman was yesterday charged with running a brothel from a massage parlour in Balzan, a day after three other Chinese girls were arraigned on similar charges.
Lin Han, 32, from Attard – who stood in the dock dressed in a short blue dress, a red fur jacket and black knee-high boots – pleaded not guilty to the charges while saying that she worked as a nail technician and receptionist at Honey Girl.
The inspector said some €24,000 in suspected earnings from the parlour had been seized at her home.
Ms Han has a pending case before Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona on similar charges and told Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit she had to sign the bail book at her local police station every day. She was granted bail against a deposit of €2,000 and a personal guarantee €20,000.
On Monday, Liu Renhua, 42, Yu Yali, 43 and Qin Weihong, 42, – all from Attard – were also accused of running the parlour as a brothel but did not request bail and were remanded in custody.

I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Prince Charming, a Scottsburg Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Scottsburg, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Scottsburg.

A Celebration Of Dr. Seuss!
We enjoyed a special luncheon on Thursday. We were celebrating all of the wonderful writing, illustrating and of course the connections we made through our author study of Dr. Seuss. We also have been collaborating with our Kindergarten friends in Texas too! We have been reading Dr. Seuss books together and focusing on Making Connections. What a great opportunity this has been for the children.

Oklahoma City National Memorial and Homegrown Terrorism Bombing
Oklahoma City National Memorial
Walking tour, part 1
A singular act of homegrown terrorism marked Oklahoma City forevermore and now the Oklahoma City National Memorial stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience exhibited by the people who survived and those who did not as well as their rescuers who stood in that path of horror created in one flash of a moment of time.
One can almost become numbed by listening to the news regarding acts of horrific terrorism all across the world on a semi-regular basis. But when one sees some of the detritus of what was left behind after a homegrown act of terrorism that killed and injured hundreds of people, it leaves behind a footprint in the mind and soul regarding all the many lives that were impacted that eventful day.
September 11, 2001 was the fateful event that has been seared into most people's minds all around the world when foreign terrorists flew airplanes into the twin towers in New York, the Pentagon and attempted even further destruction but for the brave souls aboard one of the hijacked airplanes who thwarted their efforts. The death toll that day was astounding!
Our country and most of the world was still reeling in shock over that event when my mother and I were traveling by car to visit our relatives in Iowa about a month later. We decided to stop off and pay a visit to the site of the worst terrorist attack on American soil (prior to the monstrous acts of September 11th) and pay our respects.

Please take time to rate this article regarding the Oklahoma National Memorial. Thank you!
Another hubber's experience...
Lest we forget...
Walking through the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Memorial Center one bright October day in that same year of 2001, what we saw will be be stamped upon our memories forever.
Good as well as evil live side by side in this world.
In fact that embodiment of good or evil inside of only one person can work to effect great change for the betterment of life on this planet or work to create immense havoc and destruction.
One example of good and the effects of one person's efforts would be Mother Teresa. Most people are familiar with her working and living among the poor and the good that she accomplished in her lifetime.
One such incarnation of evil (by the name of Timothy McVeigh who has now been put to death over these atrocities) decided to kill innocent people one fine morning of April 19,1995 at 9:02 AM when he and his co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, knew the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City would be filled with people who were staffing offices, visiting as well as others who had gone to work that day doing their normal sundry jobs.
These were both American men who had grown up surrounded with many of the same experiences many of us have and a value system most of us hold dear. The fact that these two unhappy and misguided individuals decided to express themselves with this horrendous act of violence will probably give criminal psychologists subject matter from which to study for years to come.
3.3 acres in downtown Oklahoma City are now designated as Memorial grounds which includes the area where the Murrah Federal Building once stood.
Hundreds of other buildings were also damaged that April day when the truck filled with a 5,000 pound bomb of explosives tore apart the Murrah building killing 168 people, 19 of whom were children. There was a daycare located inside that building. More than 700 other people were injured.
Thousands of rescue workers and volunteers swarmed into the area to do what they could to save lives and salvage what remained.
The Memorial Center is so touching! It is hard for mere words to do it justice.
It took about 5 years to be developed and consists of part of the original chain link fencing adjacent to a new exterior wall which originally marked off the blast area. People continue to hang stuffed animals and attach photos, letters and forms of remembrance or honor to that fencing which we passed on our way into the center of the Memorial grounds.
There are two Gates of Time standing sentry and from which one can enter the grounds. One has the time 9:01 and the other, 9:03 symbolizing the time prior to the earth shattering event and the minute after it had exploded changing lives forever at precisely 9:02 AM.
A 318 foot reflection pool delineates the space with the peaceful sound and look of water.
An 80 year old American Elm tree that survived the blast has an inscription at its base that reads: "The spirit of this city and nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us."
This Survivor Tree had shards and remnants of what had spewed forth from that fatal blast that sad day, but like the other 800 plus human survivors it is a living symbol of beauty despite its scars and stands as a sign of resilience to what evil forces had accomplished.
There is a Children's Area where children of all ages can leave messages onto the embedded chalkboards in the ground. Tiles that were hand painted and sent by children from near and far also adorn this area on the northwest corner of the Memorial grounds.
A Survivor Chapel and a Rescuers Orchard honoring those who lived and helped others survive exist within the Memorial grounds. On large pieces of granite recovered from the Murrah Building those survivor names are inscribed.
The Memorial Museum is an interactive one and is housed in the west end of the former Journal Record Building just north of the Memorial site. The Journal Record Building originates from the year 1923 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
By far, the part of the Memorial grounds that left my mother and me with lumps in our throats was viewing the 168 glass, bronze and granite chairs that sit empty and represent each of the lost lives that fateful day. Each of them are similar in appearance but each are also slightly different in proportion representing the uniqueness of the individuals killed so heartlessly that day. Each chair bears the name of a person who died inside the Murrah Federal Building. The 19 smaller children's chairs are poignant to view.
Was one of those children the one that might have cured cancer? Was another child the one who would have advanced the goal of curing worldwide hunger? These and other questions we shall never have answered.
The glass portions of the chairs are illuminated at night.
My prayer is that we do not become so inured to hearing about violence that it ceases to touch us deeply. It is too easy to think that other people or cultures are at fault and that we can simply turn a deaf ear. No one is immune from this kind of evil as this act of homegrown terrorism confirmed.
It is difficult to portray the range of emotions that one has when standing in a Memorial area like the one in Oklahoma City. My mother and I were overwhelmed with feelings which at times spilled over onto our faces with tears streaming down our cheeks. We saw other people dabbing at their faces.
Somber reverence permeates the Oklahoma City National Memorial. It memorializes those lives lost that day as well as those who were saved. One does not have to know someone killed or personally affected by this tragedy to be impacted by this site.
All life is important.
This author hopes and prays that this type of senseless terrorism whether homegrown or in countries on the other side of our small planet can soon come to an end. Let's find better ways of communicating and sharing differences with one another and form more peaceful resolutions.

I remember the day of the Oklahoma terrorist
bombing. My husband always called me in the morning before going on his mail route. I told him some building had fallen down in Oklahoma never thinking it would be from a bomb. I will never understand home grown terrorist and how they can hate their own country and people. Voted up and shared.
A wonderful and emotional hub on Homegrown-Terrorism. Oklahoma City will always be memoralized with candles, flowers, memories and lots of tears. Awesome hub.

luce named names in the White House, and a number of journalists and bloggers strikingly failed to link to the luce story.
There he insinuates himself with the locals as the new bootlegger and begins stalking luce and her two charges.
My own reading is that there is much to regret in the miserable time luce had growing up.
Hadden was the lead editor for Time, luce the business manager, but luce was a journalistic genius no doubt.
As luce well puts it: Mr Kagan denies America is in relative decline—and mistakenly insists there is no economic evidence for it.
Mrs. luce became frantic, for she had believed from the first that her husband would never return.
So talking, luce went into the house and up the stairs to give her message.
luce, her captain, since the flagship was no more, was senior officer.
luce paused in her task of placing the knives and forks to look at the vandal.
"Don't squdge me too fur," repeated Mr. luce, clinging to the most expressive warning he could muster just then.

Looking to relocate a board I sold on Craig's List in about 2010 in Virginia Beach area. Can't seem to find the person who bought it. Old emails are not helping.
I had moved out of the country and had my Dad sell it for me after I had moved. Now I'm back and would really like to get hold of that board.
If you happen to own this board, send me a shot of it to verify that you actually have it, and aren't just trolling.
It was a WRV Mike Daniel Fun Fish - Double Concave
6'10" x 21 1/2" x 2 3/4"
Serial is F72736.
Awesome board. It also had an old board bag with it. I figured the board bag is pretty much trashed by now.
I figured it's worth a shot to ask.

Rabbi Martin J. Pasternak, Director
At the end of last week's Parshah Moshe is discouraged by his failed attempt to convince Pharaoh to allow the Israelites to take a brief holiday to worship the Lord. Not only does Pharaoh reject Moses' request, but he increases the work load which the Israelites must bear. Faced with Moshe's demands, Pharaoh asks, "Who is the Lord that I should heed him and let Israel go?" As this week's parshah opens, God brings a message of hope to Moshe and an answer to Pharaoh's question.
As the Parshah continues we learn of the devastating plagues that God inflicts upon the Egyptians. Scholars have long analyzed the list of ten plagues to uncover hidden patterns and messages in their order. Maimonides and others point out that the plagues follow a definite pattern. There are three series of three plagues followed by the tenth and final plague, the death of the first born. In each series Pharaoh is warned of the plagues twice followed by the third plague which occurs without warning. This pattern suggests Pharaoh's free will as well as his accountability. Pharaoh refuses to heed God's warning during the first two plagues and is punished without warning during the third. As we read the plagues in synagogue what other patterns do you notice?
God Spoke to Moses and Said to him: I am YHVH. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make Myself known to them by my name YHVH. (Exodus 6:2-3)

And the Lord said to Moses, "Say to Aaron: Take your rod and hold out your arm over the waters of Egypt - its rivers, its canals, its ponds, all its bodies of water - that they may turn to blood; there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in its vessels of wood and stone. (Exodus 7:19)

John L. Allen, Jr.
John L. Allen Jr. is the prize-winning Senior Correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter and the Senior Vatican Analyst for CNN. He's the author of five best-selling books on the Vatican and Catholic affairs, and writes frequently on the Church for major national and international publications. He's also a popular speaker on Catholic affairs, both in the United States and abroad.
When the Vatican spokesperson called upon Allen to put the first question to Pope Benedict XVI during a press conference aboard the papal plane en route to the United States in April 2008, the spokesperson said to the pope: "Holy Father, this man needs no introduction." That's not just a Vatican judgment. Veteran religion writer Kenneth Woodward of Newsweek described Allen as "the journalist other reporters ? and not a few cardinals ? look to for the inside story on how all the pope's men direct the world's largest church."
Allen's work is admired across ideological divides. Liberal commentator Fr. Andrew Greeley calls his writing "indispensable," while the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a conservative, called Allen's reporting "possibly the best source of information on the Vatican published in the United States."
Allen's current project is "The Future Church: How Ten Trends are Revolutionizing the Catholic Church," a survey of the most important currents shaping the future of Catholicism. John divides his time between Rome and his home in Denver, Colorado.

Is there a way to control the output of torque when it terminates a job for some reason? I used to be able to tell why a job was terminated in PBS Pro by looking in the .ojobid file and seeing something like '=>> PBS: job killed: mem' or '=>> PBS: job killed: cput'. In Torque all I see is 'Terminated'.

thanks,

One of the eight Powerball tickets sold in New Jersey that is worth $1 million was sold at a gift shop at Bally's Atlantic City Casino Resort.
Caesar's Entertainment spokesman Jerry Eisenbach said the ticket was sold at the Picks and Wicks store, but the ticket holder has not yet come forward.
None of the tickets sold in New Jersey matched all numbers in the record Powerball jackpot of nearly $580 million, but more than 450,000 tickets are worth something. Eight of those tickets are worth $1 million and 29 are worth $10,000, according to the New Jersey Lottery.
One of the $10,000 tickets was sold at the Cedar Food Market in the 200 block of North Main Street in Pleasantville, lottery officials said.
Store manager Jan Habash said the winner came forward around noon Thursday to verify the ticket was a winner. Habash did not know the winner's identity but described him as a Pleasantville man in his mid-50s.
"He was real excited," Habash said. Store clerks took the man's information and were waiting for the store's owner to return in order to fully file the claim.
Habash said the store sold a $10,000 ticket for another lottery game last year.
Nearly 240,000 tickets sold in New Jersey matched the Powerball number and are worth $4.
Two tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri matched all six numbers to win the second-largest top prize in U.S. lottery history.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.

Foodmakers, fast-food chains, and media companies have teamed up to battle government efforts to create voluntary nutritional guidelines for foods marketed to children.
The group, called the Sensible Food Policy Coalition, includes General Mills, Kellogg, PepsiCo, and Time Warner. Disclosure records show they spent $6.6 million on lobbying in the first quarter of this year, and the members of the group collectively have spent nearly $60 million on lobbying since the start of the Obama administration,
Media giant Viacom is one of the members. It owns the Nickelodeon television network, whose animated characters such as Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants are featured prominently on food products marketed to children. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is also weighing in.

He runs.
Pairing: Taemin/Minho
Rating: G
Summary: He rips the letter and pretends he's the hero in that children's tale, throwing small pieces on the street and hoping he'll someday find his way back home.
Opening line.
I need an opening line that will go riiight above this sentence, which is a sentence with absolutely no meaning at all and it only serves as a justification for the thing this letter lacks. Just like your two-word answers to my questions right before you fell asleep on my shoulder during the drive home.
That was totally uncalled for, I apologize. Just skip this paragraph and let's start over.
Dearest Minho,
How are you doing? How are the hyungs doing. It would be a lie to say I do not miss all of you. Are the rehearsals tough? Of course they are. When people leave things behind, they are under the impression that everything changes without them, but that's a downright lie. Everything's the same, I could bet my life.
Tell Jonghyun-hyung to take it easy, okay? I read about that famous singer in a newspaper one day (I was passing by a store and managed to steal a glance) who ruined his voice – too much strain, they said.
He sings no more.
Perhaps you should support Onew, too. He puts on a happy face and stands his ground, but I'm certain his feet are shaking. No man can pretend for too long, don't let him break and if he does, be his glue. Be sure to fill the cracks of his heart. That one's tricky.
I'm sure Kibum hyung is okay, he finds joy in the simplest of things and patches himself up. I don't think he falls under your responsibility, he has Jonghyun to support, and that is his strength.
That was a weird thing to say, but oh, well.
You should tell the company to remove the missing-celebrity posters from the streets, I hate seeing my face everywhere all over again, plus it's plain silly, come on, missing celebrity?? I'm 18 now, I can run away all I want.
They're not gonna find me anyway, I wear my hair long now and I dyed it black. I'm worrying about people recognizing my shoes though, you know, the ones with the wings. I couldn't part from them, I love them too much.
Oh I love you too much too, but my shoes love me back you see.
I didn't want this letter to be bitter. Out here the sea is wild and beautiful, I dance on rooftops and I dance in the empty streets at night, balancing on railings and climbing on fences. Out here the wind is cold and refreshing.
I had this dream that I was a fetus the night before, trying to be born. I broke one amniotic sac after another, and yet I couldn't, there was no way to get out. I woke up panicked, sweat on my forehead. I stretched my fingers and thought about Kibum. The sea was roaring ahead, the moon was almost full. I was cold and hungry, but at least, I was born and free.
I had thought about getting fatter to prevent people from recognizing me, but I don't think I managed to gain not even one pound in a week of endless eating, so I thought I should save money for my iPod's batteries and stop messing around.
I hope this letter wasn't an annoyance. I'm positive your eyes are heavy and your muscles are sore. Be certain that if I could tear my shoulder off and leave it behind, I would gift it to you to use as your pillow. Sometimes I dream I ask you to run away with me and you do, some nights you don't hush me and tell me to get some rest, in some dreams you say 'okay, but let's dance to this song first' and it's a tango, like the one we danced for that show, remember?
Dearest Minho,
I'm okay.
This is the shortest love letter I've ever written.

Chinese VP's Visit to North Korea Prompts Détente Watch
All eyes will be watching for signs of détente over North Korea's nuclear-weapons program when Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao becomes the highest-ranking among China's new leadership to visit Pyongyang this week.
Mr. Li's visit, as announced in a brief statement by China's Foreign Ministry, begins Thursday. The ministry didn't specify whether Mr. Li would meet North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, during the trip, though it's likely he will after Chinese President Xi Jinping met a senior North Korean envoy in Beijing in May.
"At the invitation of the North Korean side, Chinese Politburo member and Vice Chairman Li Yuanchao will lead a Chinese delegation to visit North Korea and participate in commemoration activities for the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice," the statement read.
The visit comes directly after China and the U.S. held their annual Strategic & Economic Dialogue in Washington, in which how to handle North Korea was a major area of discussion. The countries appear to remain divided on how to restart long-stalled multilateral nuclear negotiations.
Mr. Li, while among the Communist Party's senior leadership, isn't a member of its all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee. The absence to date of a public meeting between Mr. Xi, who took over the Communist Party and China's military in November, and the young Mr. Kim is widely viewed as a sign of at least moderate frustration by China with its longtime strategic ally.
A series of provocations by the North left the region on edge in recent months. They include Pyongyang's latest nuclear test in February, its third since 2006. U.S. officials have increased pressure on China to exert more influence over North Korea.
While China says it hopes for denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, business ties between the countries remain robust, and China has forged ahead with a high-speed rail network linking the countries—among other projects. The U.S. wants China to exert its economic leverage on North Korea, while Beijing insists diplomacy is the only way to ease tensions.
As tensions escalated earlier this year, the countries' shut their joint Kaesong industrial zone in early April after the North abruptly pulled 53,000 workers from South Korean factories in the zone, located just north of the DMZ. Despite early-stage negotiations about potentially reopening the complex in recent weeks, there is little hope the two sides are close to a breakthrough.
The visit by Mr. Li comes a month after the Obama administration imposed new sanctions against a Chinese financial institution, Dalian-based Daedong Credit Bank. U.S. officials said in late June that Daedong Credit helped to transfer money on behalf of companies involved in the North's weapons program.
In the face of U.S. and international sanctions, North Korea this week opened the Arirang Festival, which includes larger-than-life gymnastics and dance performances celebrating– who else–the Kim family.
The festival is commemorating the 60th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War, which the North insists it won and refers to as the Fatherland Liberation War.

Over the past ten years, more than 4,000 people have died while crossing the Arizona desert to find jobs, join families, or start new lives. Other migrants tell of the corpses they pass—bodies that
Trading off chapters, the authors deliver immigrants' stories calmly and objectively, but their compassionate message is clear, and especially timely in light of Arizona's controversial new immigrant laws. Though difficult to read, this important collection provides vital, humanizing perspective on a divisive issue, with stories that will stick with readers for a long time.

are never recovered or counted.
Crossing With the Virgin collects stories heard from migrants about these treacherous treks—firsthand accounts told to volunteers for the Samaritans, a humanitarian group that seeks to prevent such unnecessary deaths by providing these travelers with medical aid, water, and food. Other books have dealt with border crossing; this is the first to share stories of immigrant suffering at its worst told by migrants encountered on desert trails.
The Samaritans write about their encounters to show what takes place on a daily basis along the border: confrontations with Border Patrol agents at checkpoints reminiscent of wartime; children who die in their parents' desperate bid to reunite families; migrants terrorized by bandits; and hovering ghost-like above nearly every crossing, the ever-present threat of death.
These thirty-nine stories are about the migrants, but they also tell how each individual author became involved with this work. As such, they offer not only a window into the migrants' plight but also a look at the challenges faced by volunteers in sometimes compromising situations—and at their own humanizing process.
Crossing With the Virgin raises important questions about underlying assumptions and basic operations of border enforcement, helping readers see past political positions to view migrants as human beings. It will touch your heart as surely as it reassures you that there are people who still care about their fellow man.

Hollywood Freeway Central Park
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce wants its namesake freeway, US-101, to be capped with a one-mile long, 44-acre park.
Hollywood is known worldwide for award recognition, and on January 7, the "Friends of the Hollywood Freeway Central Park" recognized Caltrans District 7, along with several other people and organizations, at its "For the Love of Hollywood Gala." The event was held to celebrate the first anniversary of the "Friends" coalition and to thank the community and those who have supported plans to construct a cap over the Hollywood Freeway (US-101) for park space.
The Hollywood Freeway Central Park is a proposed project by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, with involvement from many partners, to build a neighborhood park capping US-101 with approximately 44 acres of wide-open green space. The proposed park would cover the freeway beginning near Santa Monica Boulevard to the intersection of North Hollywood and Bronson Avenue in the City of Hollywood. The design proposal for the park is estimated at one-mile in length and 300 to 400 feet wide.
Caltrans District 7 has been an early supporter of the Hollywood Freeway Central Park since participating in a stakeholder workshop in 2007. The City of Hollywood and project sponsors are scheduled to begin an environmental study process late 2010. While funding for the "Hollywood Freeway Central Park" is not programmed through state resources, the vision to construct a park over a freeway falls in line with what Caltrans District 7 is known for: innovation.
"Caltrans welcomes the opportunity to be part of a team that will bring the most creative and innovative ideas to the table," said Rick Land, Caltrans District 7 interim director, who accepted the recognition for the department. "The plan for Hollywood Freeway Central Park is consistent with Caltrans long-range plan; both have similar missions envisioning a sustainable system that improves mobility while enhancing the quality of life."
The next step in the process is for the project sponsors to present Caltrans Planning, Public Transportation and Local Assistance Division with environmental and design plans for review to ensure that the facility over the state highway system meets the departments criteria and standards for design and safety.
Along with Caltrans, other award recipients included Los Angeles City Councilmember Tom LaBonge and City Council President Eric Garcetti, the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Other partners who support the park project include the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and various surrounding neighborhood councils.

The one sample hypothesis test described in Hypothesis Testing using the Central Limit Theorem using the normal distribution is fine when one knows the standard deviation of the population distribution and the population is either normally distributed or the sample is sufficiently large that the Central Limit Theorem applies.
The problem is that the standard deviation of the population is generally not known. One approach for addressing this is to use the standard deviation s of the sample as an approximation for the standard deviation σ for the population. In fact, as is described below, such an approach is possible using the t distribution.
Definition 1: The (Student's) t distribution with k degrees of freedom, abbreviated T(k) has probability distribution function given by
Observations: Key statistical properties of the t distribution are:
- Mean = 0 for k > 0
- Median = 0
- Mode = 0
- Range = (-∞, ∞)
- Variance = k ⁄ (k – 2) for k > 2
- Skewness = 0 for k > 3
- Kurtosis = 6 ⁄ (k – 4) for k > 4
The overall shape of the probability density function of the t distribution resembles the bell shape of a normally distributed variable with mean 0 and variance 1, except that it is a bit lower and wider. As the number of degrees of freedom grows, the t distribution approaches the standard normal distribution, and in fact the approximation is quite close for k ≥ 30.
Figure 1 – Chart of t distribution by degrees of freedom
Theorem 1: If x has normal distribution N(μ, σ), then for samples of size n, the random variable
has distribution T(n – 1).
Click here for a proof of Theorem 1.
Corollary 1: For samples of sufficiently large size n, the random variable
has distribution T(n – 1).
Proof: This follows from the theorem by the Central Limit Theorem.
Observation: The test statistic in the theorem and corollary are the same as
from Central Limit Theorem with the population standard deviation σ replaced by the sample standard deviation s. What makes this useful is that usually the standard deviation of the population is unknown while the standard deviation of the sample is known.
Excel Functions: Excel provides the following functions regarding the t distribution:
TDIST(x, df, tails) = the right tail at x of the Student's t cumulative probability distribution function with df degrees of freedom when tails = 1 (for a one-tailed test). When tails = 2 (for a two-tailed test), TDIST(x, df, tails) is the sum of the right and left tails.
Since the t distribution is symmetric about x = 0, TDIST(x, df, 2) is simply 2 * TDIST(x, df, 1). Also note that x must be non-negative, but since the t distribution is symmetric about x = 0, the left tail when x < 0 is TDIST(-x, df, tails). Thus we can use the formula TDIST(ABS(x), df, tails) for any x. The cumulative probability distribution function is given by 1 – TDIST(x, df, 1) when x ≥ 0 and by TDIST(-x, df, 1) when x < 0.
TINV(p, df) = x such that TDIST(x, df, 2) = p; i.e. TINV is the inverse of TDIST in the two-tailed case. For the one-tailed case simply double p; i.e. TINV(2*p, df) = x such that TDIST(x, df, 1) = p.
With Excel 2010/2013 there are a number of new functions (T.DIST, T.INV, T.DIST.RT, T.INV.RT and T.INV.2T) that provide equivalent functionality to TDIST and TINV, but whose syntax is more consistent with other distribution functions. These functions are described in Built-in Statistical Functions.
In Excel 2010/2013 T.DIST(x, df, TRUE) is the cumulative distribution function for the t distribution with df degrees of freedom and T.DIST(x, df, FALSE) is the pdf for the t distribution. For prior versions of Excel, the supplemental function T_DIST(x, df, cum) contained in the Real Statistics Resource Pack provides the equivalent functionality.

I thought rather than try to type my e mail address on the sms it would be easier to e mail you. Hope life is ok with you, I have had the first day of being the new headteacher scary !! But it's a short week so it's not too much of a strain.
I am still full of my trip and very grateful for the

excellent tour, I feel that it gave me an excellent taster and I certainly learned a lot. I hope my photos do the holiday justice, I am really looking forward to seeing the contrasting scenery and some of the magic moments from my trip. I really do hope to come back very soon.
Can you thank your friends for the barbecue again and their hospitality I really enjoyed meeting them and my night time real estate tour !!
Just to let you know that I have retold the 'slapper' story since being home and my friends think it's quite amusing that I added to the vocabulary of a guy who already speaks several languages - some Essex dialect !!
Ah well better go now. I am already thinking about my next holiday. Not a good sign on my first official day back at work after 5 weeks off.
Happy Xmas
Christmas greetings to you also and your wife and son - may you have a great one and don't have too many of hose bokkies !
BTW never dropped you a note to thank you for the wonderful holiday we had with you - we have been up to our necks with work. Both Patricia and myself had a wonderful time - hopefully

we will make it back one day - in the meantime I will be recommending you to anyone I hear of that is going to South Africa.
Merry Xmas

Garage rocker!
I love this board its buttery, yet it can sustain stability at high speeds. I went snowboarding with it yesterday and it surpassed my expectations. I ride this with K2 Sonic bindings and 32 exus boots its a great combo. Overall great board for a great price.

Railay Beach
Have fun at your party!
02.12.2013 - 02.15.2013
View Thailand on Allie and Sam's travel map.
On our last morning in Bangkok we had a quick breakfast, complete with delicious yellow watermelon...
Great breakfast set-up...especially considering it was included.
We said goodbye to the lovely Eastin Grand Sathorn and were greeted with a bunch of giggles when we told the girls at the front counter that we were headed to Railay Beach, Krabi. "Have fun at your party" they said...and we knew then it was going to be one hell of a beach vacation.
Farewell Bangkok, we'll be back next week!
You're not kidding awesome Thailand!
Even the airport was festive for Chinese New Year.
After a short one hour flight we arrived at the Krabi International Airport, barely able to contain our excitement...
A songthaew...essentially a converted pick-up truck that makes for some very cheap travel, but we opted for a 600 baht ($20) air-conditioned cab to make life easy. When you consider that it cost like $60 to get to the airport in NY this is a no-brainer.
Driving through the beautiful limestone cliffs towards the Andaman Sea....
Gorgeous scenery...
We arrived at the longtail boat dock for the final leg of our journey to Railay Beach...technically not an island, but accessible only by boat because it is cut off from the mainland by limestone cliffs. So sexy.
We waited for 6 people, handed over 60 Baht each ($2), and were off to paradise...
We got dropped off on Railay Beach East, walked through our hotel Railay Bay to the main area on the west, and caught a rare thunderstorm rolling in....
We ended up watching a completely epic sunset from the beach-side pool at our resort, by far the best of the entire trip, but were so in the moment that it's up to our memories to preserve it.
We hopped out of bed the next morning to watch the sunset rise over the mangroves on Railay East...
at which time it's extremely low tide.
We sat on what served as our dock upon arrival to Railay, at high tide the water laps over the cement we're sitting on.
The crazy tractor like shuttle to the left is what they use to pick people up when arriving by longtail at low tide.
We made our way back through the resort which stretches from one of the narrowest points between East and West Railay.
The resort grounds were lovely...
and we came upon some kittens.
Sammy fed them some milk from the convenience store across from where they hang out on the resort.
We decided to explore Phra Nang Beach by walking down the little pathway on Railay East, through the jungle with crazy caves rising up to our left...
Serious jungle...
complete with several types of monkeys!
Aww, monkey with its baby...
Monkeys everywhere! Some people were feeding the monkey and letting them sit on their shoulders...we love them, but no thanks!
Emerging from the jungle at Phra Nang Beach where the cave and shrine lie.
There are many conflicting stories about Phra Nang cave and the true origins have been lost to history, but it is dedicated to the princess Phra Nang and many (especially local fisherman) still leave various phallic offerings in the hope of fertility, prosperity, and good fortune...it's quite a sight.
The water comes right up to the limestone and erodes it beautifully...
If you walked through the water next to the limestone, you could meander through the rocks since it was still relatively low tide...
It was still on the early side so we nearly had the beach to ourselves...how often do you get to swim under a cave?
A few hours later we were just swimming around and saw some people pretty high up on the rocks (just to the right out of this picture and in front of a "no jumping" sign). One, two, three people jumped and then...is that? Does she have a wedding dress on?
So memorable...everyone was cheering as the newlyweds leaped!
We spend the rest of the day on the beach, had massagies for 300 Baht ($10) each, and hiked over the rocks to Ton Sai Beach at low tide...a backpacker and rock-climber's haven with late night bars boasting names like Freedom and Chill Out.
We met four people our age from D.C. and had a great night, a couple named Emma and Mike that were on "indefinite vacation" and their two friends Mike and Matt who are teaching English in S. Korea for the year...I only wish we had gotten a picture cause we never bumped back into them! We couldn't get enough of the fire shows, like moths to the flame we were drawn down the beach...
Late night, we had found ourselves feeling jealous of our new friends' food considering that we'd spent all the baht we brought to Ton Sai already...Mike walked over and announced to his friend Matt with all sincerity that, "I got us some noodle soup and it's going to be awesome..." Mmmm noodle soup, we thought, that sounds good...until Mike continued, "I did see him swipe a huge cockroach off the rice, but...whatever." Too funny...glad we left the cash because we ended up here at Bamboo Burger on Railay East when we got back, AMAZING pad thai and chicken burger (aka delicious piece of freshly fried chicken on a bun)
The next day was Valentines Day so we decided to rent a kayak, paddled our way over to Ton Sai to "chill," and then discovered a little private beach around the corner...
After hours of exploring we hung out around the pool...
and took in the sights on Railay West...
Crab art left behind by tiny creatures combing the sand for little bits of food.
Taking it all in.
For Valentine's dinner we had some amazingly fresh seafood...as in, "Ill take this part of him" and pointing.
Love watermelon in February!
Over to the Chill Out Bar on Ton Sai to relax for the day.
Just having a drink and such...
then this little guy came to hang out.
We moved down to the beach to catch some sun and swim a bit.
Back to Chill Out for cover from a light shower and some bikini beach swinging...
By the time we got back it was a nice 300 Baht massage, some fresh seafood, and good night!
Feeling sufficiently relaxed after being worked out the night before, we decided to take out the kayaks out again. We headed over to Phra Nang, paddling through caves with tunnels and feeling like Indiana Jones...it was crazy and, needless to say, minimal photo snapping!
On Phra Nang Beach there are these wonderful people operating restaurants out of longtail boats so Sammy got us some freshly grilled corn and watermelon shakes, so amazing...
Oh. Yeah.
It doesn't get much more idyllic.
Down towards the shrine...
Over towards the west side of the beach.
The food was so amazing we decided to get a chicken kabob sandwich.
Sammy waiting for his samy...in the water. Now this is the way...
We paddled away with full bellies and stopped to...admire the scenery from a precarious yet beautiful spot where smaller rocks were jutting up out of the water.
Looking back at Phra Nang from the little rock outcropping...
Sammy steadying us...
Aww a heart in the rocks.
Onward to Ton Sai!
We arrived after paddling all the way around the tip of the peninsula and past Railay West to Ton Sai...ready to relax.
We climbed up to the platform so we be near our kayak, got drinks, and listened to some Bob Marley.
We parked our ride right below...
How often do you get to nap in a bar, in your bikini...on the beach?
We summoned our strength and paddled back to Railay West after a serious siesta, hiking back to Ton Sai over the rocks after the tide went out...a definite hike you better pay attention for!
We went over to the Sunset Bar where we'd met our friends from D.C. earlier in the trip...
love the outdoor "chandelier."
We had a great view of people setting off dozens of fire lanterns on Railay West...unfortunately this picture does it no justice.
We ended up at the Chill Out Bar and had fun with body paint late night...as you can see the bit on my foot got washed off getting on and off the longtail boat.
and back to Bamboo Burger for some more pad thai and another Chicken Burger...so good.
We headed back to Phra Nang Beach along the limestone.
Crazy caves...
and jungle stalactite.
People climbing up to the viewpoint which also leads down to a lagoon where we were told there are points that you are actually putting all of your weight on a rope only to find when you get up that its looped over a little rock. We passed.
and so charming.
Mind the phallic stalagmite, everything near Phra Nang cave that looks remotely penis-like gets decorated accordingly!
Watch your head!
Some cave carvings just before you come upon the beach...
Is that a giant penis on the left there?
Sammy setting up by some monkies on the beach.
You know we got more watermelon shakes and corn! God, look at the way my feet just sink into the sand...it's SO soft!
Sammy wading for food.
We wandered back through the jungle and monkeys after a long beach day and Sammy passed out while I got comatose with a massage. Our usual girls were busy so I wandered around and came upon an air conditioned place on Railay East where I zoned out for a solid hour and a half...sooo relaxed post massagie!
It is always wise to guy a fire lantern from the guy on the beach for the first time as we had a few days earlier because he'll help you set it off, especially if you throw him a few extra Baht! This time we were prepared to go it alone.
Unfolding the lantern...
It's lit!
So joyous!
Sammy's turn.
Yet again a fuzzy picture that captures the moment so clearly!
And away they go...
Mmmmmm Sammy waiting for this rotee pancake on Walking Street...more like a thai crepe and so good.
Rotee wit honey, but the savory options like tomato and cheese are just as good!
We walked through to Railay East to hang out at the bars there...very chill.
