Fred Timmons, one of Montana's oldest pioneers, died at the family home in Hamilton last Monday morning, March 24, after a brief illness, old age being the cause of death. Mr. Timmons was 89 years of age, and was born in Montreal, Canada.
Besides the widow, Agnes, there are six children left in the family: Mrs. Harry South, Mrs. Frank Rapp, and Henry Timmons of this city; Mrs. Gebean of Butte; Mrs. A.E. Bevan of Des Moines, Iowa, and Fred Timmons of South Bay City, Michigan. The funeral services were conducted by Father Marmon of the Catholic Church yesterday morning, burial taking place in Riverview Cemetery at Hamilton.
Mr. Timmons was one of the oldest residents of Montana, and was one of the discoverers of Alder Gulch in 1863, being one of the party of prospectors consisting of Barney Hughes, Bill Fairweather, Henry Edgar, Henry Rodgers, Mike Sweeney, and George Orr, who were the first to "strike it rich" in Alder Gulch, their discovery of gold being the start of the big stampeded into that territory in early days.
Mr. Timmons was also one of the first ranchers in the state, locating on a ranch on Mill Creek, 18 miles from Virginia City, in 1864. In those days, there were no railways west of Chicago. All traffic came by wagon, mostly over the old Mormon trail, via Salt Lake city, and every argonaut had to run the gauntlet of numerous tribes of hostile Indians. Society was in a very chaotic state throughout the territory of Idaho, which embraced what is now Montana. The first white woman, a Mrs. Cram, came in 1865. The better element, for self protection, were constrained to band together as "vigilantes," and with utmost severity, stamped out the lawlessness that had grown rampant. Everybody was rolling in gold dust and prices were very high.
Speaking of this phase, Mr. Timmons recalled that in the spring of 1865, he bought 3,500 pounds of potatoes at 65 cents per pound. These Lake potatoes had been hauled to Virginia City from Salt Lake by Chas. Andrew. Timmons decided to plant them and the wealthiest woman in Virginia City drove out to his ranch and offered to cut out the "eyes" for seed and pay him well for the cores. Flour sold for $1 per pound and eggs for $1 per egg. Timmons sold his first crop of potatoes for 10 cents per pound. He would load his wagon and drive to Virginia City, taking along his scales to weigh the dust, and clean up $300 for each load of spuds.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
What can cause a dog to pace and not lay down for more than a few moments?
Hi there thank you for posting your question. How long has this been going on for? Has this ever happened in the past?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :About an hour. No. She tries to lay down, but gets up right away and paces around.Dr. Braha :Any vomiting or diarrhea?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : No. She also ate 1/2 a can of food a minute ago. This is very uncharacteristic. She just seems to be nervous. Pacing, discomfort. No fever - 100.7.Dr. Braha :have you tried taking her outside to see if this calms her down?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :Yes. She runs around. But, when I bring her back in, there is no change.Dr. Braha : Can you press on the sides of her abdomen to see if there is any pain?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : No discomfort from what I can tell. No bulging.Dr. Braha : And can you check under her lips to make sure her gums are pink and moist?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : Her gums look okay.Dr. Braha : The half of can of food she ate was that offered and she ate it willingly? Does she have any phobias to storms or loud noises?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : She is basically walking in circles around me on the bed right now. She will lay down occasionally but gets back up. Then she will stop at times and will just stare. Then repeats this all over again. She does not have any phobia to storms or noises. She will eat food willingly, but she won't eat if I tell her to. When I let her outside, she will do a full sprint around the yard with a toy. She has never acted like this before.Dr. Braha : It is possible she could have had a seizure and is in a post-ictal stage. Otherwise, if she seems herself and not in any pain, it's hard to rule in any illnesses what could be related to her change in behavior.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :I pushed her off the bed and she landed odd since she was wrapped up in a shirt. That's the only thing I can think of. Well, she definitely does not seem herself. She was fine after an hour.Dr. Braha :There is two things I can recommend tonight. If you think she is in pain we can give her some Asprin to take of the edge. If she seems distraught we can give her something to sedate her.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :I think some sort of discomfort but I don't know.Dr. Braha : If she was to have hurt herself after falling oddly I would not expect her to be so willing to walk and run around.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : What is the other thing to give her.Dr. Braha : The only thing you may possibly have around the house to calm her would be benadryl.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : Now she is hiding in the closet.Dr. Braha : Unless you have ever received the medication acepromazine from a Veterinarian?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : No I haven't.Dr. Braha : Was she by your side the hour leading up to this unusual behavior?JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : How much aspirin how much Benadryl. Mix? And, yes she was sleeping.Dr. Braha :I will copy you a link to an article talking about then post ictal phase which may explain her unusual behavior.http://www.ehow.com/about_6515426_postictal-phase-seizure.htmlJACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- : Is this likely to happen again?Dr. Braha : You may just want to try and continue to comfort her until this feeling wears off if this in indeed is the cause. There is a condition in dogs called Idiopathic Epilepsy which is rather common. To rule this condition in you would need to have her thoroughly worked up to rule out any other causes.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :What causes a seizure and how do I know it's happening? How long can this last?Dr. Braha : The seizure episodes can be very mild and not a complete loss of consciousness. It can last a few seconds to several minutes. The term Idiopathic in front of the name of the syndrome means we do not exactly know why they occur. Some dog may have only one, others once a year and others it may be more frequent.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :How long do I expect to see this odd behavior?Dr. Braha : http://www.petwave.com/Dogs/Dog-Health-Center/Brain-Spinal-Cord-Nerve-Disorders/Seizures/Symptoms.aspx This talks about signs of a seizure that is about to occur and what to expect during the seizure for your reading afterwards. The post ictal phase can last one hour on average, but there is no hard fast rule.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :Ok thanks.Dr. Braha : They can have vision impairments during this time which may lead to increased anxiety. Based on your description of everything you have mentioned, without having the physical animal in front of me to examine, this would be my most likely presumption of what is currently going on with Penny.JACUSTOMER-yxh1q4sl- :Thanks. I'll call my vet in the morning.Dr. Braha : You are very welcome glad to of assistance let me know how she is doing.

Democrats Work to Make America Energy Independent by 2020
Washington, DC – Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement today in support of Senator Maria Cantwell's legislation to stop gas price gouging:
"American consumers and families are struggling in the face of skyrocketing gasoline and energy prices. The staggering increase in gas prices that occurred throughout the past summer was greatly exacerbated by Hurricane Katrina as prices jumped through the roof. It is time that we give our families immediate relief and the assurance that oil and the big energy companies are playing by the rules.
"I am pleased to join Senator Cantwell in her efforts to stop gas price gouging and I join her in calling for swift action on the Energy Emergency Consumer Protection Act. We must stop oil companies from taking advantage of natural disasters by gouging consumers at the pump. We must toughen our enforcement and increase transparency in the oil market so that Big Oil does not take advantage of American workers.
"We must take action immediately to provide relief for the current crisis but we must also take real steps to break America's dependence on foreign oil. Democrats are determined to put America on a firm and sustainable path towards energy independence by 2020. This will not only stabilize prices, it will benefit our economy and make America more secure for the future."

Thursday 12/6/07
Stationed in Sweden, this was another instant classic radio show for David. Download and listen to the first hour -- absolutely free!
The Red Ice Creations website popped up on our radar recently due to some unique research we found on there in the course of routine Google searches. The quality of information was unusually high, and the look of the site was quite slick, showing a high production value.
Recently we were invited as a guest on the radio show, and it all happened fast -- but that's OK. Fredrik, the host, brought a highly 'crystallized' intellectual focus to the conversation -- and this created a space where a truly amazing amount of information could come through in a relatively short time.
We even got our own graphic made up for being on the show, as you can see here... not bad, although we'd never throw an 'aura' around a head shot for risk of appearing to be too self-promoting and / or Messianic. Nonetheless, it's OK if someone else does it:
Ah yes... before we forget, here's everything you need. For the next week, we are the cover story on the main page, www.redicecreations.com. We will always be featured on the following information page, which includes a writeup and streaming-audio links:
If you are interested in downloading the MP3 directly, (and who wouldn't!,) here's the link:
Everything you hear in this show fits nicely with the 3.5-hour Project Camelot video we did, and is also a great introduction to our Science of Peace series. You might want to check out the information page, as it also contains links to several of the things we discussed on the air!
Ordering the Science of Peace is a gift on multiple levels -- for yourself AND for everything we do.
First of all, you'll be plunging into a very unique experience, where the music and the information blend together to really help you integrate this knowledge of the science of consciousness -- the hidden mysteries of how your own mind truly functions every moment!
Second of all, you are helping fund what ultimately amounts to a political campaign to change consciousness on this planet, every bit as important for humanity's future as, say, the Ron Paul candidacy... only we have far less PR, and therefore far less support, at the present time.
That may change, but right now we really do need you -- and want you to know how deeply we appreciate your generosity!
If you already have experienced Science of Peace, you will undoubtedly benefit from its less-expensive ($17.99) companion project What is My Purpose, also featuring a psychedelic, transcendent musical soundtrack.
And if you'd like to hear a great archive of readings, radio-show appearances and public lectures, you can subscribe to our MP3 Archive -- which will undoubtedly see many new files uploading in the coming year!
Definitely listen to this Red Ice Creations show no matter what, as the first hour is totally free and believe me, we covered TONS of fascinating subjects!
The momentum is building... and we thank you for being here to enjoy it with us!
I wasn't expecting much from the Science of Peace audio, but I wanted to contribute to David so I bought them. They are highly underrated!They are easily worth ten times the purchase price!Thank you David, Larry and everyone else involved.

The Science of Peace
Is there a "consciousness field" of "radiant mind energy" that we all share? Could this be causing the changes we are now witnessing on the Earth and throughout the solar system? Does it have any effect on DNA, including complete species transformation?
Is this 'Mind Field' the ultimate answer to solving financial collapse, terrorism, violent crime and all manner of Earth Changes, leading to a true Science of Peace? ... Yes.

FONTANA - For the fourth year, middle school students from around San Bernardino County converged on the Auto Club Speedway, hours before the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 400 qualifiers.
This year, 441 students participated in the Auto Club Speedway Mathematics & Science Day hosted by the Superintendent of Schools' Alliance for Education, which works to improve science, technology, engineering and math in the county.
The students, who converged from school districts as widely separated as Chino, Barstow and Beaumont, moved between multiple tents in the Speedway's parking lot, conducting friction experiments with NASCAR tires and various road surfaces, different weight distributions on model cars rolling down ramps and, with wooden blocks and bricks at hand, how temperature and pressure affects gases.
Before Friday's field trip, Miriam Odiniguet, an eighth-grader from Hook Junior High in Victorville, said she was "not at all" interested in NASCAR.
"I watched one" race, classmate Alexis Jones said.
But the day's activities did make what they'd been learning in science and math classes concrete.
"I never knew they had explosions" in car engines, Jones said.
"It's easier when they give us these examples," classmate Inez Nascimento said.
The teaching went beyond the middle school students, however: Students from UC Riverside and Chaffey College were on hand, teaching the younger students and getting some practice in teaching careers.
"Since they're all hands-on activities, it gets them interested without knowing it in the math (and science)," said John Valdez, who's pursuing a master's in education at UCR.
"What they're suddenly seeing is what they've been reading in their books" applied, said Linda Braatz Brown, who works at UC Riverside's Alpha Center, which promotes STEM education regionally. "They get to see (NASCAR) is not just someone sitting on a track, going left. "

Based on the differences in their optimal growth temperatures microorganisms can be classified into psychrophiles, mesophiles, thermophiles, and hyperthermophiles. Proteins from hyperthermophiles generally exhibit greater stability than those from other organisms. In this review, we collect data about the stability and folding of monomeric proteins from hyperthermophilies with reversible unfolding, from the equilibrium and kinetic aspects. The results indicate that slow unfolding is a general strategy by which proteins from hyperthermophiles adapt to higher temperatures. Hydrophobic interaction is one of the factors in the molecular mechanism of the slow unfolding of proteins from hyperthermophiles.
Many organisms on Earth grow in extreme environments. Microorganisms whose optimal growth temperature is above 80 °C are called hyperthermophiles. Hyperthermophiles are found in hot environments such as deep-sea vents, submarine hydrothermal areas, and continental solfataras [
Proteins from hyperthermophiles usually exhibit higher stability than those from organisms that grow at lower temperatures, so it is expected that studies of proteins from hyperthermophiles will provide general or additional insights into the forces stabilizing the native conformation of proteins [
To elucidate the stabilization mechanism of proteins from hyperthermophiles, a thermodynamic analysis is also useful [
This review focuses on studies of monomeric proteins from hyperthermophiles with reversible unfolding, examined from both equilibrium and kinetic aspects. This will provide an essential understanding of stabilization linked to the slow unfolding of proteins from hyperthermophiles. In the following section, we describe how the stability and folding of proteins from hyperthermophiles are experimentally characterized by thermodynamic and kinetic analyses. Next, we report on our studies of the stability and folding of ribonuclease HII from a hyperthermophilic archaeon,
The stability of proteins in solution is evaluated quantitatively by Gibbs energy changes (ΔG) observed upon unfolding, when the reaction is reversible under experimental conditions. ΔG is obtained experimentally by perturbing the native state using temperature and a denaturant (e.g., urea or guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)) and monitoring the shift in the equilibrium by various biophysical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) [
Three models are proposed for proteins from hyperthermophiles to adapt to higher temperatures compared with those from organisms growing in moderate temperatures: Proteins from hyperthermophiles (i) raises the entire stability curve to a higher ΔG, (ii) shifts the stability curve towards higher temperatures, and (iii) reduces ΔCp, resulting in a flatter stability curve (
All three models are observed in nature and, in many cases, proteins from hyperthermophiles do not utilize a single mechanism but rather various combinations of (i) to (iii) [
ΔG is also determined by kinetic unfolding/folding experiments. In kinetic experiments, a perturbation is imposed by changing the denaturant concentration, pH, or temperature. The time course of the reaction is then monitored by the various biophysical techniques described above [
Tk-RNase HII is a monomeric protein consisting of 228 amino acid residues whose stability and folding are well characterized by our research [
The dependence of ΔG on the GdnHCl concentration (
The dependence of ΔG(H2O) on the temperature (stability profile) for Tk-RNase HII was investigated and compared with that for the mesophilic bacterium
Heat-induced unfolding experiments with Tk-RNase HII were carried out by DSC. The results demonstrate the high stability and slow unfolding of Tk-RNase HII.
The unfolding and refolding kinetics by GdnHCl concentration jump was examined at 50 °C.
The kinetics of the folding and refolding reactions of Ec-RNase HII and Tt-RNase HI have been studied in detail at 25 °C [
The stability and folding of cold shock proteins from
The folding thermodynamics and kinetics of ribosomal protein S16 from the hyperthermophilic bacterium
From the data presented above, slower unfolding seems to be a common characteristic of proteins from hyperthermophiles. However, the molecular basis for the slow unfolding of proteins from hyperthermophiles remains elusive. Here, we describe our recent studies in which the contributions of various stabilization factors to the slower unfolding of Tk-RNase HII are investigated. Moreover, we propose a novel viewpoint for future work concerning the evolutionary background of the slow unfolding of proteins from hyperthermophiles.
The hydrophobic effect is one of the important stabilizing forces of folded proteins [
Proline residues decrease the conformational entropy of the denatured state and consequently lead to protein stabilization [
The effects of osmolyte on the stability and folding of Tk-RNase HII have been investigated [
The degree of the decrease in unfolding rate of proteins from hyperthermophiles relative to their mesophilic counterparts varies, depending on the protein. For example, the unfolding rate constant for Tk-RNase HII is much less (by five orders of magnitude) than that for its mesophilic counterpart. By contrast, the unfolding rate constant for Tm-Csp and S16thermo is slightly smaller (by two orders of magnitude) than that of its mesophilic homolog. The origin of such a difference remains obscure at this point. Here, we propose one possibility for this discrimination.
Previous studies showed that the unfolding is slower for proteins from hyperthermophiles than for the mesostable ones, as summarized in the review by Luke
Stability profiles depicting the different ways to increase the denaturation temperature (Tm). The solid thin line represents the stability curve for a hypothetical protein from an organism growing in moderate temperature.

Pak investigators reconstruct remains of Bhutto's attacker
December 28, 2007 19:32 IST
Pakistani investigators reconstructed a mangled human head on Friday hoping to identify the man suspected of killing former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto [Images] in a suicide attack.
Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack as she left an election rally in the city of Rawalpindi on Thursday, plunging Pakistan into one of the most serious crises in its 60-year history.
''We have retrieved a head and it has been reconstructed. We also found fingers and we're carrying out DNA tests to make a comparison between the head and fingers,'' said Saud Aziz, police chief of Rawalpindi.
A man shot at Bhutto as she waved to her supporters from the sun-roof of her bullet-proof car. He then blew himself up.
Bhutto was killed by gunshots to the head and neck, a security official said. The blast killed 17 other people.
Moments after the blast, a Reuters reporter saw a portion of a head, including a blackened ear and half a face on the road. Police cordoned it off.
Aziz said samples had been taken from the site for testing to determine what type of explosive had been used.
While Aziz declined to speculate on who might have been behind Bhutto's murder, it bore all the hallmarks of strikes by Islamist militants fighting to destabilise the government of US ally President Pervez Musharraf [Images].
Musharraf had survived two bomb attacks in 2003. A suicide bomber tried to kill former prime minister Shaukat Aziz in 2004 and outgoing Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao survived two suicide bomb attacks this year that killed nearly 70 people.
Militants were believed responsible for at least five bomb attacks on security force personnel in recent months in Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani military has its headquarters, and numerous other attacks elsewhere this year.
In a brief address to the nation, Musharraf said that Bhutto was a victim of the terrorists the government had been battling.
Bhutto survived a suicide attack in October, hours after she returned form eight years of self-imposed exile, in the city of Karachi. The attack killed about 165 people.
Bhutto had spoken of al Qaeda plots to kill her. While she commanded a devoted following in some quarters, she had enemies apart from Islamist militants.
After the attack on her homecoming procession in Karachi, she made vague references to some Musharraf allies and the head of a main security agency who, she said, were out to get her.
But al Qaeda was the chief suspect in the murder, standing to gain by preserving its remote stronghold, undermining Musharraf and destabilising Pakistan, US government and private analysts said.
''There are a number of extremist groups within Pakistan that could have carried out the attack ... Al Qaeda [Images] has got to be one of the groups at the top of this list,'' a US official said.
A private analyst said militant supporters in Pakistan's security services might have also played a role, but it was unlikely that Musharraf himself was involved.

Moving from Autodesk to SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS unmatched compatibility with DWG/DXF data
SOLIDWORKS software allows you to preserve the value of your 2D DWG data with the best available tools for converting data from 2D to 3D, accommodating reusable 2D geometry, and enabling a smooth transition, including extensive Help documentation for AutoCAD users.
Benefits of Moving from Autodesk to SOLIDWORKS
- Easily convert AutoCAD 2D designs into 3D models
- Convert Autodesk Inventor® and Mechanical Desktop® models
- Edit and maintain DWG data without the need for AutoCAD
- Automate your current design tasks by using SOLIDWORKS
1. Easily convert AutoCAD 2D designs into 3D models
Design sketches and assembly layouts may represent the first step of a consumer product or machine design; and if they exist in AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS can use them as the foundation for 3D geometry.
SOLIDWORKS provides an Import Wizard to allow DWG/DXF files to be imported directly into the SOLIDWORKS sketcher - from there, it can easily be turned into a 3D model. If the drawing contains multiple orthographic views, SOLIDWORKS will arrange the 2D geometry onto a glass box making it easy to convert the design into 3D.
If there are any problems inherent in the drawing or caused by the translation, the SOLIDWORKS Repair tool will automatically fix these problems in the sketcher.Return to Top
2. Convert your Autodesk Inventor® and Mechanical Desktop® models
SOLIDWORKS gives users unmatched compatibility with other CAD systems, including over 20 built-in file translators, one of the industry's best DWG/DXF™ import capabilities, and unparalleled cross-platform, multi-CAD collaboration capabilities.
Users can directly open Autodesk Inventor® files which are automatically translated into SOLIDWORKS part documents. SOLIDWORKS can then 'reverse engineer' the geometry with feature recognition software. Autodesk Inventor versions up to and including Autodesk Inventor 10.0 can be opened.
The SOLIDWORKS MDT translator can import part and assembly information from Mechanical Desktop® (MDT) and convert them into SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents. The SOLIDWORKS converter can recognize features, mates, design tables, work features and pattern features. The MDT translator supports MDT 4.0 or higher.Return to Top
3. Edit and maintain DWG data without the need for AutoCAD
For many users, it is often necessary to edit a drawing after importing it. SOLIDWORKS provides an application called the SOLIDWORKS 2D Editor, which allows users to edit DWG files natively.
A user who is experienced with AutoCAD can easily edit the drawing by using familiar commands. This is because the SOLIDWORKS 2D Editor is designed with the same look and feel of the AutoCAD interface. Since SOLIDWORKS 2D Editor software's native format is DWG, you can open and save any native AutoCAD file without file conversion.Return to Top
4. Automate your current design tasks by using SOLIDWORKS
By switching to SOLIDWORKS 3D design you will be able to accomplish your existing design tasks much quicker:
Produce 2D drawings automatically - Construct production-ready, detailed drawings automatically, without drawing a single line or arc. SOLIDWORKS eliminates time-consuming drawing view creation, manipulation, and maintenance.
Revise drawings easily - Each modification that you make to a 2D drawing or 3D model created with SOLIDWORKS software is reflected accurately throughout all associated views, sheets, and drawings. All drawing views, dimensions, and annotations update automatically.
Eliminate guesswork with associative dimensions - Adding, referencing, or changing a dimension value in a drawing or part model is easy with SOLIDWORKS software. The geometry updates automatically to accommodate each change, eliminating inconsistencies, so you can always be confident in the accuracy of SOLIDWORKS drawings.
Generate bills of materials instantly - Speed the development of drawings for designs that contain hundreds or thousands or parts by generating bills of materials (BOMs) and balloons automatically.Return to Top
Advantages of SOLIDWORKS 3D over AutoCAD 2D:
To outline the main advantages of SOLIDWORKS 3D design listed below is a comparison of typical design tasks for 2D and 3D CAD:
|Design Task
|Drawing Creation
|Drawing automation
Automatic view creation, section creation, generate bills of materials.
|Automatic design change by modifying dimensions
|Inspect and visualize your design in 3D space rotation of design
|Create multiple versions of your design with families of parts and assembly configurations
|Collision/interference detection
|Assembly motion modeling and animation
|Communication with photo-realistic product marketing and interactive documents
|Mass property calculations
Mass, Volume, Surface area, Center of mass, Moments of inertia
|Validate your design with 3D finite element and other kinds of analysis
|Manufacture your design or create mockups with rapid prototyping

FLORENCE---The Francis Marion University astronomy program is collaborating with regional school districts to enhance the quality of astronomy instruction in K-12 classrooms.
Called the Pee Dee Regional Astronomy Collaboration, the initiative is being led by FMU Professor John Mattox, director of FMU's Observatory and the Dooley Planetarium.
To date, two school districts have joined the collaboration, Florence District One and Clarendon District Three. Three more districts are also considering participation.
The Dooley Planetarium has been providing planetarium shows for visiting school groups for the past 23 years. While thousands have benefited from planetarium shows during that period, Mattox said many more public school students in the region could be accommodated.
"We want to serve as many students as possible in the best way we can," he said. "Our new initiative is intended to provide very high quality planetarium programs that enable teachers to rapidly give their students a comprehensive exposure to the astronomy content of the South Carolina Science Curriculum Standards. These standards are very demanding for South Carolina's fourth- and eighth-graders."
With the financial support the school districts are providing, Mattox expects to present more planetarium shows. That demand is expected to increase as teachers learn that they can make a field trip that is enjoyable for both teachers and students, while simultaneously boosting student achievement that is measured annually with the PACT test.
Mattox also has been helping to improve the educational use of other FMU resources, such as the former hewn timber houses that were formerly slave cabins and the Wallace Woods Nature Trail, for visiting student groups. He maintains a web page at http://astro.fmarion.edu/ with information about astronomy and K-12 student group attractions at FMU.
The Regional Astronomy Collaboration also plans to serve as a resource for teachers who wish to adopt astronomy curriculum that incorporates the use of telescopes. Many celestial objects, such as the moon and Venus, can be observed with telescopes during the day. Modern motorized telescopes are now available to educational institutions for less than $200 and are easy to use. FMU has obtained several of these telescopes to loan to school teachers in participating districts for evaluation purposes.
In addition, participating school districts will soon benefit from FMU's access to a 50-inch diameter telescope located at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, the Robotically Controlled Telescope (RCT). FMU's portion of the RCT operating costs for the RCT for the next five years will be funded by NASA through a $124,000 grant.
For more information, contact Mattox at 843-661-1441. The Internet site for the Regional Astronomy Collaboration is http://astro.fmarion.edu/rac/.

TransArmor Retail Card Payment With Tokenization and Encryption
First Data
: 03 September, 2010
(New Product)
Meeting Visa requirements on tokenization, First Data brings strong payment card transaction security to the retail industry
First Data Corporation has announced the public availability of the First Data TransArmor solution. Starting today, the revolutionary payment security service is available to merchants of all sizes through First Data's extensive network of resale partners. First Data anticipates that more than 100,000 merchants will be securely processing transactions with the TransArmor solution by the end of the year.
The TransArmor solution fundamentally changes the way merchants secure and manage cardholder data. The service protects consumer payment card data from the moment it enters the merchant environment, and replaces card data with a token number that preserves the value of card data for merchant business operations but removes all value for fraudsters. As a result, merchants are able to significantly reduce the scope, risk and costs associated with Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance without requiring new hardware or extensive changes to existing business processes.
First Data successfully completed a pilot in June 2010 that tested the TransArmor solution in a variety of merchant point-of-sale (POS) environments. During the pilot, more than 150 merchant locations processed card transactions using the TransArmor solution's unique blend of tokenization and
technologies. Factors assessed during the pilot were average latency time, which averaged less than one tenth of a second per transaction, and ease of implementation for merchant adopters, all of whom used existing POS terminals for the test.
The TransArmor solution tokenized the very first commercial transaction over the STAR Network, a First Data company, at the Centre of Science & Industry in Columbus, Ohio on Feb. 26, 2010. Breakers Motel in Grand Isle also signed up for the TransArmor pilot in March and was impressed by the seamless integration.
"Protecting our customers' payment card data is a priority for our business, but strong security can be a significant challenge to implement," said Anna Janise, manager of Breakers Motel. "Adding the TransArmor service to our existing point of sale required almost no effort on our part, and didn't impact our business operations. We're more confident that the cards we accept stay safe, and most importantly, it keeps our focus on our customers, not on becoming security experts."
Value-Added Resellers (VARs) including Data Business Systems, which focuses on both the full/quick service restaurant and retail industries, have been swift to connect the TransArmor solution to their POS software offerings.
"Security is essential to our customer base, and they want that security built-into products that run their business today," said Robin Vaughan, chief technology officer at Data Business Systems. "We recently integrated the TransArmor solution with our TransAction + payments middleware product because it's a truly unique and intuitive data security service that we believe will be invaluable to our clients who utilize either POSitouch or SAP POS solutions."
"We believe the TransArmor solution sets the bar for the payments industry in securing card data and ease of use for the merchant community. We help businesses address the root cause of card data security issues by completely removing payment card data from their environment as we process the transaction," said Ed Labry, president of Retail and Alliance Services, First Data. "The TransArmor solution is the latest innovation in data security that First Data has brought to market as we continue to develop products centred on the needs of our customers."
Making use of the RSA SafeProxy architecture, the TransArmor solution is engineered to encrypt and securely transport cardholder data to First Data and replaces it with a token as part of the transaction authorization process. Unique features of the token make it possible for merchants to continue to handle key business functions such as returns, recurring billing, loyalty programs and other analysis, without enabling card data to be used for fraudulent transactions. First Data provides a limited warranty against compromise of the token number in the event it is used to conduct a fraudulent transaction. The TransArmor solution meets or exceeds all of Visa's recently released Best Practices for card data tokenization.
"The release of the TransArmor solution is proof of how industry leaders can collaborate to address the essential needs of IT organizations," said Art Coviello, president of RSA, which is the Security Division of EMC Corporation. "By building world-class security technology into the payment processing infrastructure, we can help significantly reduce the cost and effort of compliance and enable merchants to focus on innovations to better serve their customers."

Our Price £ SOLD OUT
Published in a hardback, signed limited edition of 150
Composed as a single, fractured whole, Heather Phillipson's NOT AN ESSAY is a tense handshake, momentary eye-contact, a rap on the cranium.
This text stakes out a bodily territory in which bodies are inflated and denied. Preoccupied with intimacy and its opposite, its narrator detours through the nightclub, the city graveyard, changing rooms, an overheated swimming pool, free jazz, public toilets, the in-house cinema, searching for – what? Can we still cope with torsos? Are we prepared for faces? Would we like to press together in the dark?
Cavalier, acerbic, droll and disconsolate, the text is a self-incrimination, the noise of the intellect giving its mechanics away. The chronicler is contrary, fallible – a body among bodies, a nervous system, an overwrought brain, the awareness of open pores, clothed in subjectively awful trousers.
Promo video by Heather Phillipson.
"Falling between prose and poem, NOT AN ESSAY addresses Deleuzian ideas surrounding the body as object. Phillipson works through, a series of not-always-comfortable juxtapositions, the idea that our flesh and bones are alienated and indeed separated from the cognitive, social self."
Oliver Basciano, Art Review
"The text is probing, provocative and tactile; intense, witty and beguiling."
Sam Buchan-Watts, The Quietus
'Heather Phillipson's poems display heroic bafflement…a humour both quirky and robust'
Andrew McCulloch, Times Literary Supplement
'Phillipson's work is often very funny as it rebounds from one untenable erotic or intellectual position to another…sounding like the love child of Frank O'Hara and Rosemary Tonks'
