As far as oil spill poster animals go, the pancake batfish seems unlikely to capture any hearts. "They're really weird," says Prosanta Chakrabarty, an ichthyologist at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge. Hanging out at depths down to 400 meters, batfish don't swim, but instead hop along the sea floor on their pelvic fins.
Chakrabarty discovered two new species of pancake batfish last year in museum collections. Then he caught specimens of both during bottom trawls in the northern Gulf of Mexico. With an unknown quantity of oil below the surface now lapping at their habitat, Chakrabarty wonders if the strange creatures will survive. "A lot of focus is on the charismatic megafauna, the whales and turtles," he says. "But we can't tell what's going on below the surface."
Current sampling efforts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have so far focused mainly on the location of the oil, and "rightfully so," says Chakrabarty, who learned of the administration's research endeavors at a meeting yesterday at LSU. But even when scientists start to look for a toll in the benthos, Chakrabarty worries that their incomplete knowledge of species abundance there will complicate assessment of the oil's impact.
With many species likely still undiscovered, researchers like Chakrabarty have their work cut out for them even without a spill to worry about. "People think the gulf is well described just because it's off the coast of the U.S., but there are a lot of new things there," he says.

State Rep. Bill Hembree, R-Winston, calls it "insane."
For state Sen. Mitch Seabaugh, R-Sharpsburg, it's "absolutely absurd."
That's how the two lawmakers, as quoted in a Sunday story in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reacted to news that $3 million in bonuses were handed out to Georgia Lottery Corp. employees this year. According to the Atlanta newspaper's report, lottery president and CEO Margaret DeFrancisco received a bonus of $236,500, an amount that nearly matched her $286,000 salary. Two of the lottery corporation's senior vice presidents received bonuses of $55,000 in addition to their $173,000 salaries, while a third received a $50,000 bonus in addition to a $160,000 salary.
In fairness, the bonuses came as the Georgia Lottery racked up another record year for sales, and for transferals into the state treasury, money which funds the HOPE college scholarship program and the state's pre-kindergarten program. According to the corporation, lottery sales for the 2007 fiscal year, which closed out June 30, were $3,421,698,000, the highest ever in the lottery's 14 years. Also according to the corporation, a total of $853,550,000 went into the HOPE and pre-kindergarten programs for the 2007 fiscal year.
That's an impressive fiscal showing, to be sure, but there is room to wonder whether that performance justifies $3 million in additional administrative costs, which is what the bonuses represent. DeFrancisco's explanation of the supposed need for the bonuses, as reported by the Atlanta newspaper, is singularly unconvincing. The lottery president contended that, because the lottery is now in its 14th year, it's difficult to "keep everything fresh and alive and exciting." Thus, she argued, the large bonuses are needed to keep "smarter-thinking, smarter-working (people) ... working together with a lot more ideas to increase sales." DeFrancisco also contended that the Georgia Lottery Corp. "(has) to sell a product," and "(y)ou have to motivate people to do that."
Begging DeFrancisco's pardon, but it strains credulity to think that it takes $3 million worth of intelligence and motivation to keep people interested in buying lottery tickets. Sure, the process might need to be gussied up on occasion, with a plethora of scratch-off cards, games featuring multiple drawing each day or other gimmicks. But, at its essence, a lottery is a straightforward transaction between someone who is willing to pay a dollar or two for a chance at a dramatic return on that "investment." And there will always be people who will be lured by that hope of instant riches, regardless of whether any bells and whistles are attached to it.
So, of course, Seabaugh and Hembree are right to question the need for the lottery corporation - which operates with legislative oversight, and whose president reports to a board appointed by the governor - to pay out millions of dollars in bonuses.
But the state legislature in which they serve also has some questions to answer in connection with its performance with regard to education funding. It's a performance that is, arguably, some orders of magnitude worse than the lottery corporation's poor use of $3 million that could possibly have gone to pre-kindergarten and collegiate education.
For the past several years, the funding formula for the state's K-12 public schools has gotten so badly out of whack that, for the 2007 fiscal year, it was underfunded by the state to the tune of more than $1 billion, according to a consortium of dozens of school districts that are taking the state to court over the issue.
It will be interesting to see which of these funding issues attracts the most attention from legislators in the Georgia General Assembly session that convenes next month.
If Seabaugh and Hembree and their colleagues are going to raise their eyebrows at what could be viewed as the lottery corporation's $3 million shortchanging this year of the HOPE and pre-kindergarten programs, they ought to be absolutely outraged at the K-12 funding shortfall engineered over time by the legislature.

DR Congo: children will be released from armed forces and groups in the East
Joint Press Release
Radhika Coomaraswamy, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict during a press conference concluding her visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Since January 2009, about 1200 children have been released in the process of the accelerated integration of the Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP) and other armed groups into the National Army, the Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC) in North Kivu.
However, grave concerns remain that many children have passed through into the ranks of the newly integrated brigades, as the Special Representative witnessed first hand during her trip to Masisi, where the child protection team met with commanders of recently integrated Mai Mai militias, leading to the on-site release of four children.
"Now, a similar integration is about to begin in South Kivu and authorities must guarantee that MONUC, UNICEF and child protection partners are part of the process and have access to the children," said Ms. Coomaraswamy.
In her meetings with the Minister of Defense and Army Generals, the Special Representative received commitments for an Action Plan to ensure the identification and release of children, implementation of preventive measures and access for monitoring and verification to ensure that children are not recruited. "The new Congolese army cannot afford to have children in its ranks and the integration process is a unique opportunity to identify and release them," stressed the Special Representative.
The Special Representative emphasized that the reintegration of these children into their families and communities remains a critical priority for the peace process. UNICEF and other child protection partners pointed out that there are significant gaps in reintegration funding, especially due to the large numbers of children recently released. "It is crucial that donors commit to multi year funding in line with the Paris Principles to ensure sustainability of child reintegration programmes, and that such resource commitments are flexible and delivered early," added UNICEF Representative Pierrette Vu Thi.
"Sexual violence remains one of the most critical concerns in the DRC, devastating the lives of thousands of girls," said Ms. Coomaraswamy. At a children's transit center in Masisi, she met with girls formerly associated with Mai Mai militias, who told her horrific stories of grave violations, including rape.
The Special Representative welcomed the national comprehensive strategy to combat sexual violence developed under the coordination of the UN. She stressed the importance of national ownership of this initiative and has called on President Kabila to appoint a Special Envoy on sexual violence in the Presidency.
Impunity for grave violations against children continues to undermine the possibility of durable peace in the DRC. "Although the Government has taken some positive steps both in the military and civilian sectors to investigate and prosecute violators, such efforts need to be more systematic and include high profile perpetrators," stated Ms. Coomaraswamy.
Representatives of civil society and of the Children's Parliament stressed the need to combat impunity as their central message for the Special Representative to convey to national authorities. "Children expressed a deep sense of hopelessness for the future when perpetrators escape accountability for their crimes," she added.
The Special Representative is also concerned about the protection of civilians, especially women and children in the context of the anticipated joint military operations against the Forces Démocratiques de Libération du Rwanda (FDLR) in South Kivu, known as Kimia II. She urged the FARDC and MONUC to ensure that civilians are protected during the operation.
"The Minister of Defense committed to issue a directive to all FARDC commanders to respect International Humanitarian Law, and to reaffirm that they would be held responsible if grave violations against civilians occurred," announced Ms. Coomaraswamy.
The killing and maiming of civilians, as well as reprisals against communities, during and following similar military operations in the North led to massive internal displacement. "The IDP situation in eastern DRC remains one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world," said Ms. Coomaraswamy.
The Special Representative visited an IDP camp of 14,000 people near Goma with more than half of the population in this camp being children living in dire circumstances. She stressed the need for additional financial support to ensure services for children including provision of emergency education and child-friendly spaces and activities.
The Special Representative also visited Dungu in the Province Orientale where close to 1000 people have been killed and nearly 300 children abducted since September 2008 in attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
The activities of the LRA in DRC are an alarming recent development and the Special Representative was able to witness the consequences first hand. "Addressing this problem requires close coordination between Government Forces, MONUC and child protection partners for effective protection on the ground, as well as a concerted regional response," she said.
"The children of DRC have suffered enough. We must guarantee their security and continue to make their protection a central priority in military operations as well as peace-building efforts," concluded Ms. Coomaraswamy.

Fun Animal Sounds and Pictures
The LH Animal Sounds application for children with autism is yet another great way to make sure that your kids know the sounds of all the animals!
When I first started using the application from Learning Heroes, I immediately fell in love with the illustrations and the (somewhat monotonous) banjo music that plays in the background of the app.
I was also struck by the simplicity – the entire thing consists of a spinning wheel which allows you to choose an animal and illustrated pictures of all of the animals. When you tap on an animal, someone says "The 'rooster' goes" and then makes the animal sound. There are 44 characters in all.
The first time I realized that the animal sounds were not authentic sounds, but instead sounds that the person who recorded the application was making, I was disappointed. But, then I realized that this was not a downside, but an upside to the app.
Because a person is making these sounds, your child will be easily able to imitate them and can show others (friends, family, teachers, etc.) and that they can make all of the sounds of the animals!
My favorite is the amusing sound that geckos apparently make, although I thought them to be mute animals. Who knew!

40MHz to 10GHz RMS detector provides 57dB dynamic range
Post a comment
Milpitas, Calif.Linear Technology has introduced the LTC5582, a high dynamic range 10GHz RMS detector that measures RF signals with high accuracy.
The LTC5582 offers ±0.2dB linearity over a 43dB dynamic range at 2.14GHz, regardless of the high crest-factor modulations used in 3G and 4G broadband wireless networks, including LTE, WiMAX, TD-SCDMA, W-CDMA and CDMA2000.
In addition, the LTC5582 can accurately measure signal levels as low as -56dBm to 1dBm to ±1dB error, providing 57dB dynamic range from 450MHz to 2.7GHz. The device is capable of operating at higher frequencies, providing 46dB of useful dynamic range at 6GHz, and 38dB at 10GHz. Moreover, the device operates efficiently on a single 3.3V supply. Its RF input is designed to operate single-ended, requiring no external balun transformer, thus reducing the solution size and cost.
Linear Technology is the second chip vendor to roll out an RMS detector this month. Analog Devices recently introduced an RMS detector designed to accurately measure large crest factor signals in 3G and 4G devices. See story: click here.
From -40°C to 85°C, Linear's device can deliver 48dB of dynamic range with a linearity accuracy of ±1dB. This enables use of the LTC5582 in rugged environments such as RRUs (Remote Radio Units) or ODU (Outdoor Units) deployed on cellular towers with minimal calibration adjustments. Moreover, the device has on-chip provisions for first- and second-order temperature compensation which can be easily calibrated for improved temperature performance.
The LTC5582 has a log-linear response, which precisely converts the RF signal levels in dB scale into a linearly proportional DC voltage. Operating in the wireless network frequency range from 450MHz to 2.7GHz, the detector response maintains a constant slope as the signal frequency changes. This allows a single detector to operate in multiband environments with minimal calibration adjustments. Moreover, the LTC5582 has fast settling characteristics, acquiring a rising signal accurately in 500ns and a falling signal in 4.5µs. Its fast response supports a wide range of signal envelope tracking applications.
The LTC5582 is powered from a single 3.3V supply with an operating current of 42mA, minimizing power consumption. The device has an Enable pin, allowing the chip to power down. When in shutdown mode, the device draws trickle current of less than 10µA. The LTC5582 comes in a small 3mm x 3mm 10-pin DFN package.
Pricing: Starts at $6.25 in 1,000 piece quantities.
Availability: From stock.

The cunning, fearless and hated wolverine
This large furbearer is cunning, and fearless. He is the scourge of the woods. He is a member of the weasel family, and was prominent in all the forested areas of North America. Today, his range is in southern Canada, and in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. His evil cunning and sagacity were well known by Indian and French trappers. The Indians called him Carcajou, or evil spirit.
The trapper regards the wolverine as the worst that can happen to him. If a wolverine chances onto your trap line, he will eat whatever animal you have caught, and will chew up the remaining fur, rendering it valueless. If a trapper has an established line of sets, an invading wolverine will find all of them, springing each or taking what you've caught. You're out of business until you have removed him!
The wolverine is fearless of larger animals. A single wolverine will drive off a whole pack of wolves that have made a kill. Mountain lion, elk, or moose will not challenge him. About the only way to dispatch him is to trap the critter and end its life with a 22 rimfire bullet.
Among the more superstitious trappers and woodsmen there lived a profound conviction that only a silver bullet could end his life. Some elements among Eskimos are said to wear bits of wolverine fur in the hopes that the strengths of the beast will be magically transplanted to himself or herself.
The adult male wolverine weighs up to 50 pounds, with sturdy legs, and a bushy tail. Few have ever been successfully raised in captivity, hence very few are on display in even well equipped zoos. The male wolverine is a compact bundle of steel hard muscle, wrapped in fur and cunning determination. He fears nothing and will rush into the fray of whatever warrants a fight. He is a terror to all other animals, to trappers and woodsmen.
The wolverine has incredible strength and stealth. If a trapper has a line cabin he will gain entry, spoiling or destroying anything that had been left or stored there.
Even in remote regions where traps have appeared for the first time, the carcajou will outwit the most experienced trapper. He'll eat your bait and will carry away the trap. The unlocked cabin that a trapper has built will contain a cache of commercially canned foods, such as pork and beans, corn peas, tomatoes. Jams or jellies in glass jars will be found smashed upon the frozen floors. His sharp teeth, at times, penetrate the steel can we've come to provide foods for future use. The carcajou is equipped with glands that secrete an evil smelling liquid. He uses this to spoil anything he cannot eat. He tears beds and furniture to shreds, gnawing this into large parts. His short legs do not permit him to pursue other, larger animals. He relies chiefly upon the kills of others, including those of the trapper.
The wolverine is now protected in Minnesota, but the appearance of a wolverine on a trap line used to signal a feud that must end with the death of the beast or the ruin of the trapper. At the first sign of this wily demon along his trap line, the trapper ceases all other activity and concentrates upon getting rid of his tormentor. If his efforts are rewarded by the capture of the wolverine, the trapper has an extremely valuable fur that is good for trimming a parka hood that surrounds the wearer's face.
This inveterate wander travels alone until he strays onto a trap line where kills may be taken easily. He will often follow stealthily, the path of a wolf, cougar, or bear, until they make a kill. Then he rushes in, driving off the real killer-hunter, and gluts himself on the carcass.
Today, his range has diminished to but a fraction of its former size. Now, these animals are thinly distributed within the big timber areas that remain.
The 28 Gauge
You probably are not the owner of this small bore. Most shooter-hunters begin with a 12 gauge. If they've had the guidance of a parent, the choice was a 20 gauge. With these two, most shotgunners stick with a 12 and a 20.
My one and only 28 gauge came up when I was a devoted 20 gauge shooter. The shotgun was a Ruger Red Label, a relatively heavy shotgun. But I shot it well, wondering where have you been all my life? The 28 is a marvel of efficiency. It seems to have the proportions of bore and length that a shotshell needs.
Back in the 1960s, there was a television program named "American Sportsman." It featured such notables as Bing Crosby, Roy Rodgers, and Phil Harris. When a viewer saw these notables hunting and shooting 28s, they were amazed, but still didn't aspire to ownership and use of the smaller gauge. The popularity of the over under accelerated ownership in 28s. Here was born the ideal upland hunting gun. Those few of us who went to a 28 continued to be fascinated at the successful adaptation in the uplands. Indeed, the 28 killed pheasants as dead as they would have been with a larger bore. The one-ounce 16 gauge and the 3/4 ounce 28 gauge loads are considered balistically equal, or "square" loads. Both are great in the field when conditions aren't ideal. The 28 is an excellent beginners gun. Winchester Super X loads come in a full one-ounce charge, in the poplar sixes and the 7/2 shot loads. Bottom line is kills out to a full 30 yards, which is a long way out in the grasslands, and the distance at which most all shooting will encompass.
My first taste of actually hunting with the 28 was on pen raised chukar partridge at the Misty Meadows shooting preserve. Chukars will sit very tight, refusing to take flight until the dog makes a grab for him. Pheasants, whether wild or on a preserve, end up in your game bag if you're a cool shot who takes the time to track the bird and allowing proper lead. In any case, a 28 gauge will deliver the four or five pellets necessary for a clean kill.
In addition to a slew of over-unders in 28 gauge, the gun can be had in Remington's popular 870 slide action, the 11-48 semi automatic. Of course, there are also pricey Ithacas, Elsies, and Brownings from decades ago. But these cost big bucks.
The 28 gauge may not make it as a waterfowler's shotgun. Ducks are a bit more tenacious, and a shotgunner can use a gun that delivers more shot per load.
But for everything else, the 28 gauge will deliver satisfaction, leading to leaving the 12 in the gun rack and using the 20 gauge less.
If you haven't discovered this delightful small gauge, or seen it used by a hunting partner, well, I urge you to get with it. You'll fall in love with this lightweight shotgun bore.

House Tour: Marianne Boesky's West 24th Street Apt.
We love this painting by Yoshitomo Nara with the blue striped walls.
Cool color. We've not said enough yet about the NYTimes T Magazine a few weeks back. We'll be unpacking the good bits starting today.
In honor of Fall Colors, we direct your attention to Pilar Viladas' article, Living Over The Store, which zones in on, gallery owner, Marianne Boesky's home...
Of particular note is not simply the world class modern art, but the wildly juxtaposed decors that are EDGY but work. Which is not to say that we'd live there, but the ideas are lively and unique. Enjoy!

You don't find out whether a quarterback has that "it" factor when his team is a front-runner and everything is going his way.
Everybody knows Heisman Trophy-winning Jameis Winston had a great season. However, it's defining moments like Monday night's 34-31 BCS championship win over Auburn that allow Florida State's biggest star to now have greatness attached to him.
FSU's 2013 season was way too easy for Winston, mostly because of the Seminoles' extraordinary talent, combined with playing the 64th-ranked schedule. No opponent was good enough to stress out Winston, force him to extract greatness when it really mattered.
Sorry, being down 17-3 early in the second quarter to an average Boston College team doesn't count. That was a hiccup. Recovering to beat the Eagles is one thing. Dealing with War Eagle when running back Tre Mason, quarterback Nick Marshall and Ellis Johnson's defense are punching you in the mouth is another. What Auburn put the Seminoles through at the Rose Bowl, outplaying them for most of the game and taking the lead with 1:19 left, that's when we learned Winston had a championship heart.
For three-plus quarters, Winston was mediocre. He played tight, appeared flustered by the pressure from Auburn's four-man rush. His receivers didn't help by dropping a couple of balls and not getting ample separation.
But in Winston's last two possessions, the one before and after Kermit Whitfield's 100-yard kickoff return gave FSU its first lead, he showed the kind of resolve under pressure you expect from an elite quarterback. He was 9 of 10 for 117 yards and two TDs, including a perfectly thrown ball to 6-foot-5 receiver Kelvin Benjamin for the game-winning score.
Had Winston thrown the pass a second sooner or later, the window to Benjamin wouldn't have been open. An incomplete pass there, who knows if FSU doesn't see its season fall two yards short of perfection? Now, all anybody remembers is that Winston elevated his game when the stakes were highest. He went from a shaky quarterback to Joe Cool, taking his team 80 yards in 1:06.
"I wanted to be in that situation because that's what great quarterbacks do," Winston said. "That's what the Tom Bradys, Peyton Mannings, Drew Brees, that's what they do. Any quarterback can go out there and perform when they're up 50-0 in the second quarter. I'm pretty sure I got more respect from my teammates and the people around me on that last drive than I got the whole year."
Winston certainly earned it from Jimbo Fisher, the coach who kicked him off the field in FSU's last practice before leaving for Pasadena. Winston wasn't up to par running the two-minute drill, so Fisher gave him the boot.
"He waited for me to get off the field, and we had a long discussion, and we had it out," Fisher said. "He learned from it. He grew from it, and I grew from it."
And on his 20th birthday, when the same situation came up in the biggest game of his life, Jameis Winston learned enough as a quarterback to discover true greatness.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My A/C works great when I'm moving, but when I stop, there is no air flow. on 2002 Saturn SL2
It appears the fan is OK and running in the morning before the heat of the day, but the hotter the outside temperature reaches, the less A/C comes out and the fan only works sporadicaly.
put the system on re-circulate rather than 'fresh' and see if you still have airflow.Can you manually control the fan speed ? does the blower motor make any wierd noises when it does work?
I have tried the re-circulate button with no change - although cooling is better without it. There is a manual dial for the fan speed, but it is the same whether on high or low speed - it either works or doesn't work. In the morning, when cooler, the fan works fine. It's only when it is hotter during the day that it doesn't work except when moving. No weird blower motor noises are detected.
The "except when I'm moving" part is why I'm leaning toward the blower motor not working.When your at 50 MPH or more turn the fan speed dial to 'off' and put it on recirculate ...does the airflow stay the same or does it stop?
Thank you! I'll try this on the way home from work this afternoon. I'll let you know what I find out.
I have a 1995 grand caravan I HATE and some explosives....if I don't get a reply soon ,I'm gonna.....Oh never mind...I'll just be patient (I'm off Wed. - Fri. I'm bored!) just kidding let me know your results whenever.
I turned off the fan and pushed the recirculate button when I was at full speed on the freeway. That turned off all the air. Once I released the recirculate button, the air flow was cool and felt great. As everyone in this area, we're experiencing sweltering heat and it's Atlanta, so there is no way to keep moving without hitting traffic or a light, etc. Do you have any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks so much - very thoughtful questions.
Thanks so much - very thoughtful questions.
You sound very lucid ..my compliments . now back to the fan..To blow or not to blow ...that is now the question we have left.This next time do the same stuff turn off fan then put on recirculate ...cool air stops right?... Now LEAVE IT ON RECIRCULATE make sure the 'mode selector is on vents only -no defrost that might default to 'fresh'..... still no air blowing right ... now turn the fan on ...do you actually hear the sound of an electric motor running (may need to put it on high). This you can also do sitting in the driveway (much safer)You should also hear air being drawn in by the fan sound should be coming from under the glove box. Whatcha got?....I'll be checking back. Good luck for now.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Simply Italy » Review by Explorer1257109
This trip was an amazing experiance. You will meet wonderful people and have a great time. You See so many beautiful parts on the country and history. The hotels were very comfortable and Breakfast every morning was great. The tour guide was wonderful, i thought she reallly made the trip one of a kind. If your thinking about taking this trip the choice is really about preference. It is not a relaxing trip. You are always on the go, always seeing something new. You wake up very early and have to be ready to go between 630-730 basically every morning and are on the bus touring hours at a time. It really depends on what your looking for in a trip. Do you want to sit back and relax all day sitting on a beach and go partying at night or do you want to experience and see as much as you can before the trip is over. There was some relaxing time here and there when out on certain islands. Dont forget to carry a bathing suit, or tags or swimmers where ever you go. There was two times that i could have gone swimming but didnt realize that our guide had said to bring our bathing suits, but where she came from they call them tags ;-( All in all great trip.

Press Releases
Two Logitech Products Win Japan's Good Design Award 2007
FREMONT, Calif. — Oct. 2, 2007 —Logitech (SWX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced that two of its products received the prestigious Good Design Award 2007, sponsored by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization. The Logitech® diNovo Edge Keyboard and Logitech® Pure-Fi Dream™ Premium Bedroom Music System were both named winners in the product design category. Logitech has now won 16 Good Design awards in the last five years.
"Design has always been at the core of Logitech's products, and we are delighted to be honored with this prestigious award," said Junien Labrousse, executive vice president of products for Logitech. "We are dedicated to designing products that exceed our customer's expectations. Receiving Good Design awards validates our commitment to excellence."
The Logitech diNovo Edge and the Pure-Fi Dream each received a G-Mark, the symbol of the Good Design Award 2007.
Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard
A cutting-edge blend of refined design and breakthrough innovation, the Logitech® diNovo Edge™ keyboard is laser cut from a single, semi-translucent piece of black Plexiglas® and set into a brushed-aluminum frame. Its minimalist style is further evident in the limited number of buttons and the dynamic, backlighted icons embedded within the keyboard, which are invisible when not illuminated. Considering its many innovations and advanced technology, the eye-catching design of the diNovo Edge seems impossibly thin at only ¾-inches (19.05 mm) thick.
The Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard is now available worldwide.
Logitech Pure-Fi Dream Bedroom Music System
With its unique design, premium audio, an innovative application of motion- and light-sensing technology, a built-in digital AM/FM radio and a dual alarm with battery backup, the Logitech® Pure-Fi Dream speakers are a premium accompaniment to any iPod. For controlling the Pure-Fi Dream in a dark room, the speakers use the latest motion-sensing technology. Backlighted control buttons automatically light up when a person waves a hand over the top of the speaker – and automatically dim when the task is completed. The motion-sensing technology also extends to the Snooze function.
In addition to offering motion-sensing technology, Logitech also incorporated light sensors into the display of the Pure-Fi Dream iPod speaker system. The light-sensitive, auto-adjusting display brightens during the day, making it easy to read from across a room. On the top of the speakers, people have easy access to 24 preset buttons – six iPod playlists, six AM radio stations and 12 FM radio stations.
The Logitech Pure-Fi Dream Bedroom Music System for iPod will be available in early 2008.
About the Good Design Award (G-Mark)
The Good Design Award (G-Mark) is the successor to the Good Design Selection System, which was established by the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1957. Since 1998, the Award has been sponsored by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization, as Japan´s only system for assessing and promoting overall design. The Good Design Award is presented for designs that clearly demonstrate merit in the following assessment categories: designs that meet or exceed a certain standard, superior designs and future-oriented designs. The Award is intended to contribute to "a more abundant lifestyle" and "good business," in order to create new forms of culture and lifestyle for a new era. The symbol of the Award is the G-Mark, which has become widely recognized among the general public.

Hi to all you travellers out there.
I'm a teacher and Graham is a semi-retired fisherman. I'm doing my best to keep him off boats but the idea of a big catch can be too tempting sometimes. When not fishing he is gardening and has turned this garden into a paradise in the summer.
We love animals and the outdoors. There are some lovely walks around Kinsale which conveniently end in a pub or café.
It's such a great little town with bookshops, cafes and great restaurants-see you soon!

Self-Acupressure Keeps Sleepy Students Alert
Stimulation Points May Help Students Stay Awake in Class
Applying pressure of a nonacademic sort may help keep students awake during sleep-inducing lectures.
A new study shows that applying pressure to acupressure stimulation points during class can increase alertness in people who have to sit in a classroom all day, such as college and medical students.
Researchers found students attending all-day lecture classes who practiced a regimen of self-acupressure that focused on stimulation points were less sleepy than those who applied the same technique on acupressure relaxation points on their legs, hands, feet, and heads.
"Our finding suggests that acupressure can change alertness in people who are in classroom settings for a full day -- which could be very good news for students who have trouble staying alert at school," researcher Richard E. Harris, PhD, of the University of Michigan Health System's Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center, says in a news release.
Tapping and Massaging
In the study, which appears in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, researchers compared the effects of applying pressure to points on the body considered to trigger relaxation or stimulation according to acupressure techniques.
The 39 students were participating in three days of all-day lecture classes.
Acupressure stimulation points were:
Acupressure relaxation points were:
The routines consisted of applying pressure to these points with light tapping of the fingers and massaging with the thumbs or forefingers.
Half of the students applied the stimulation acupressure regimen at lunchtime during the first day of class followed by two days on the relaxation regimen, and the other half followed the reverse schedule.
More Alert
The results showed that students reported significantly less sleepiness and fatigue on the days they used the acupressure stimulation regimen.
"The idea that acupressure can have effects on human alertness needs more study, including research that can examine the scope of influence acupressure can have on alertness and fatigue," notes Harris.
"Ideally, research in the future will help us determine whether acupressure also can have an impact on performance in the classroom as well."

Westbrook returns to mound in bullpen session
Westbrook returns to mound in bullpen session
ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals right-hander Jake Westbrook threw 35 pitches during a morning bullpen session on Sunday and said afterward that "all went well." Westbrook had not pitched off a mound since cutting his Sept. 22 session short due to continued discomfort in his right oblique.
Though Westbrook hopes to build himself back to where he could be considered a bullpen option if the Cardinals advance past the National League Division Series, his schedule over the next week will be fluid.
Westbrook will head back to his home in Georgia when the Cardinals leave for Washington after Game 2. Westbrook's wife, Heather, is scheduled to be induced into labor on Thursday. The couple, who already have three children, are expecting their third son.
As a result, Westbrook did not know when he will take the mound next.

Fun Quiz: What Does Your Preferred Dialysis Treatment Say About You?/
Your form of dialysis treatment is among the most intimate and important decisions that you have made in your adult life. You can tell a lot about a dialysis patient based on the modality s/he prefers. Complete the Fun Quiz below by selecting the treatment that you like the best and find out what it might say about you. Please note that this is a Fun Quiz and should not be interpreted as a scientific personality study or used as a reference to select any dialysis modality.
Peritoneal Dialysis: You are self-sufficient and have no patience with inefficiency. You hate to wait and that is why Peritoneal Dialysis works so well for you. More often than not you will become bored with routine and need something whimsy in your life to maintain a since of excitement. You tend to take control of situations easily and in return you get many people's respect.
Nocturnal Dialysis: You prefer to be around others both when working and while relaxing and are very socially oriented. That is why Nocturnal Dialysis works so well for you because your days are free to socialize while your nights are spent dialyzing. You do not let yourself lose focus and get distracted, rather you are very disciplined. Even if you tried you could not be someone else, you are simply you and thank goodness for that! A born idealist with more causes than you can count. Dialysis does not hold you back, you are determined to change the world or at least your surrounding environment.
Home Hemodialysis (including NxStage): You are always down to have fun and tend to charm strangers easily so you usually can get what you want from them. Always wanting to chart your own course and write your own rules, you do not allow anyone to dictate your life or set boundaries in front of you. You are often in a festive mood because of your joyful and lighthearted disposition.
In Center Hemodialysis: You are dedicated. You are quite disciplined and exercise self-control in all aspects of your life. Considering yourself to be a pretty normal person, you fit very well into this world and have excellent organizational abilities and can make sense of any mess. You are social and gregarious so you make other people feel at ease. It is for this reason that you are so well liked by those at your dialysis center and in your personal life.

Konecranes and NIB have signed a EUR 50 million loan agreement to finance the R&D activities in 2014–2017. The seven-year-maturity loan to Konecranes' R&D program will assist the company in focusing on new business opportunities in two important areas: Industrial Internet and next generation mid-market products. Since 2009 Konecranes has increased its R&D-related expenditures by 16 percent. The R&D costs in 2013 amounted EUR 25.6 million, which represented 1.2 percent of the company's net sales. Konecranes' Industrial Internet initiative makes machines intelligent and aware of their condition, and networks them to create real-time visibility for enhanced safety and productivity. The TRUCONNECT offering includes a variety of distinct remote services ranging from periodic data reporting to real-time diagnostics, technical support and production monitoring. More features and functionalities will be added to the offering in the future. Another part of Konecranes' R&D program focuses on lifting equipment offering. Customers in emerging countries have certain needs that differ from those in developed economies. However, customers in both markets are looking for safe and productivity-enhancing solutions. By combining smart automation and control systems with innovative mechanical solutions, it is possible to create next generation, modular products, which serve both markets while bringing necessary scalability and cost efficiency in production.

wikiHow to Get the Most Exercise out of the Wii
The Wii can already be better exercise than just sitting on the couch and playing regular video games, but you can spend even more calories playing it.
1Play standing up. The Wii was meant to be played standing up, but you can sometimes get around that and just play sitting. Don't.
2Do all of your movements full-out. For example, instead of just doing the minimum when playing Tennis in Wii Sports, play like you're actually swinging the Wii Remote.
3Jump up and down or jog in place. If you are playing a First Person Shooter like Call of Duty 3, run in place whenever you are moving your character. Lean to the side whenever you are going behind cover.
4Play until you think you have really had enough, or if you're up for a challenge, time yourself for two hours a day while you actually work out, and you will get stronger and, more than likely, lighter.

- Try Wii Fit as it is designed for exercising, but also provides good fun.
- Even though it's just a game, real injuries result. Warm-up before playing, and take breaks to avoid straining parts of your body.
- Never play in cluttered spaces.
- Always use the wrist strap in games that require arm movement.
- Two hours should be the limit of your playing, because even though you are working out, you are still hypnotized by the screen, and yet it still makes you dumber.

Founded in 2004, Facebook celebrated its 10th anniversary this month.
On average 757 million users visit the site each day its latest figures show - more than the population of Europe.
However, you can arguably have too much of a good thing, particularly when it comes to Facebook and holidays.
No doubt about it, social media has enabled people around the world to connect with each other on a scale and at a speed never seen before.
But when it comes to travel, this accessibility has arguably taken away some of the spirit of adventure, allowing people to become "too connected".
Posting a pic while you're sat on a beach in Thailand only to receive a "like" from your boss is a sure way to shatter that getting-away-from-it-all feeling.
Aren't some of the best and most memorable travel experiences the moments that don't go to plan?
On Facebook, however, many people simply present a picture-perfect image of themselves having a brilliant time, all the time.
This can lead to death by positivity as you're force-fed a stream of endless holiday cheer.
Despite what many social media companies would have us believe, there is such a thing as over-sharing.
"Oh look, there's Ian from IT in his speedos." "That's a rather revealing bikini Mary from across the street has got on."
Unfortunately, thoughts such as these have become all too common as we've become friends with every man and his dog on Facebook. Yes you've got a tan, now put it away!
With the rise of picture-sharing sites such as Instagram, the skill of operating a "real" camera is a dwindling art.
Nowadays you just hold up a smartphone and press click.
And with all sorts of effects, tints and filters available at the touch of a button, anyone can make Barry beach look like Bali.
"OMG the sunrise in Barbados is simply stunning #Iamonholidayandyouarenot".
With Britain's weather alternating between the deeply miserable to averagely rubbish, annoying updates on Twitter and Facebook from friends sunning themselves is, well, just annoying.
From the Grand Canyon to the Taj Mahal, visit any famous landmark in the world and smartphone-wielding tourists can be heard uttering the same phrase:
"That would make an awesome profile pic."
For many people it's now not enough to go somewhere amazing, they need the confirmation of their social media community in order to get their kicks.
The thing about sharing your thoughts and plans on social media is that you never know who might be looking.
Innocent updates on sites such as Facebook and Twitter can give criminals information about your holiday plans, making you an easier target for burglary if they know when you'll be away.
Watch our video to find out more:
Despite some annoyances, social media can have major positives when it comes to travel and holidays.
This is particularly true with regards to customer service, says Iona St Joseph, an account manager at A Social Media Agency (yes, that's its real name).
"Social media has meant that many hotels, holiday companies and resorts have had to up their game," she says.
"It's almost second nature now for people to take to networks such as Twitter if they've had a bad experience.
"They know the brand won't want any bad press floating about online, so their problem should be dealt with in a matter of hours, if not sooner."

This climb is probably the most interesting ascent of Krönten during summer time. You should start from south, i.e. from the Leutschach hut which is described in the main section. I would like to add, that the cable car from Intschi (650m) to Arni (1670m) runs all night long, automatically by inserting Swiss money into ticket machine. From the Leuchtschach hut, follow the horizontal path into the main valley. Then climb the Leitschachfirn and reach the lowest point of the horizon. On this excellent Photo you see the whole trip climbing from left and descending on the snow on the right.. 2 hours from the hut.
Route Description
From the little pass, climb 10 m, then on ledge a few meters to the left.Then along a cleft 30 meters up (the guide is not quite correct!), then to right, another perpenicular cleft (25 m). Do not change the side as the guide says. Continue the climb on the same side until it becomes easy and you reach a horitontal ledge. From its middle continue to climb and finally reach the ridge that leads easily to the top of Südturm. Then climb down to the saddle between Südturm and Krönte.
Continue the climb on the right, then up to a terrace near a cave. From there to the summit, it is easy and you do not need the rope anymore.
Essential Gear
30-40 m rope, carabine. No rappel. Excellent rock climbing in Erstfeld gneis.
Descent usually the normal route (snow fields below east ridge) back to the Leitschach hut. Part of the descent takes place in snow. It is possible that you will encounter ice or hard snow. In this case crampons and an ice screw might be helpful. A small axe is mandatory for descent to Leutschach hut.
Miscellaneous Info
If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.

"Corel and Inprise will collaborate on development of Linux products, including Corel's office applications and Inprise's application development tools, the chief executives from both companies announced today. The accord between the companies also calls for joint marketing and distribution efforts, the officials said."
"The key thing about Linux is that it's all about freedom," said Michael Cowpland, Corel's president and CEO, during his keynote address at Comdex Miami '99 this afternoon. "The time to get into Linux is now..."
"Linux, the popular open-source operating system, lacks RAD tools, so Inprise's efforts will help fill a gap and give developers much needed tools, Cowpland said."

WE asked several real estate agents which sales of 2013 they will most remember in years to come. Their answers range from the funny and innovative to good old fashioned stories of homes that sold quickly and easily. Here is a selection ...
"A FEW weeks ago, on a Sunday morning, I wandered into my office to catch up on a bit of paperwork.
I noted in my diary that there was a local auction on down the road, so I thought I would venture down and take a look.
Bear in mind I am unshaven, in a pair of jeans, and wearing a casual shirt. I spoke to the agent and a few neighbours.
The agent then walked up to me and asked if I would like to do the auction for them, as theirs hadn't turned up!
I agreed, so long as he informed the crowd that I am not in the habit of wearing my civvies and not shaving and that I'm stepping in for an absent auctioneer, which he did.
We then sold it!
Didn't expect that when I got out of bed…''
- Stephen Venn of Harcourts - Venn Millar
"WE had an open whereby the owners forgot it was booked in for a Monday twilight. When we arrived and knocked on the door the elderly vendors appeared two or three minutes later in bath robes rather red faced. I don't think they had been watching Wheel of Fortune!
We (also) had a koala appear mid-auction and join the crowd in Hazelwood Park. The audience and auctioneer lost it because the koala looked like he was going to bid!''
- Alex Ouwens of Harcourts - Ouwens Casserly
"I SOLD an 1860s heritage-listed church in Willunga by auction and the successful bidder only became aware of the it less than two hours before the bidding began. They were driving up the street on auction day and happened to see the sign! This was a property that they had always loved and had wanted to buy, but they'd been interstate so hadn't previously seen our advertising campaign. They arrived in Adelaide on the day of the auction, drove straight from the airport to the property and were the successful bidder on the day!
This unique property along with this rather interesting story of its sale, is definitely my most memorable for 2013.''
- Jennifer Drabic of Raine & Horne - Morphett Vale
"I AUCTIONED a deceased estate in Nailsworth in May - it was pretty much the most spectacular auction I've ever done - there were 31 registered bidders.
The property was being sold for its land value alone. We advertised it at $450,000 and hit the reserve price within about a minute of the bidding starting. I expected it to go for about $500,000 but it ended up selling for $616,000. I was very surprised.
It was opposite a tennis court and park and could be subdivided into two blocks, so it appealed to a wide range of buyers from renovators to developers and people looking to build their dream home.
It's unusual to find sub-dividable land of that type in the Nailsworth area.''
- Tom Hector of Harris Real Estate
"I'VE just sold one of the most amazing three-bedroom courtyard houses I've ever seen in Unley. It's currently under contract but I believe it will be the most expensive courtyard house ever sold in the area. We were advertising it at $1.9 million to $2.05 million and it sold within a four week period.
I showed through about 15 people in total through private viewings and advertised in print and online.
Walking into the house was like walking into a Hyatt Hotel - it was very stylish and a home to be proud of.
Interest came mainly from executives and retirees and people already living in the area, looking to upgrade. I was surprised at how quickly it sold and so was the vendor - but it goes to show how much interest there is in properties of this sort in Unley."
- Cynthia Sajkunovic of LJ Hooker - Unley
"JOE (my husband/sales partner) and I sold a lovely four-bedroom family home in Salisbury Heights last week with our shortest settlement time on record.
The house was immaculate, with two bathrooms, two living areas and manicured gardens. It belonged to a gorgeous retired couple moving to the country for a lifestyle change.
The normal period from the signing to the settlement of a property is about 30-40 days but this one settled in just 15, simply because it suited both buyer and seller. Both families wanted to be settled before Christmas and to enjoy the festive season in their new homes."
- Connie Tripodi of First National Real Estate - Burton Groves
"MY MOST memorable sale for the year was the auction of a modest but well-presented family home on a corner site in Camden Park. Consider these stats: 220 groups inspecting over the three weekends prior to auction, 47 - yes 47 - registered bidders on auction day, 125 attendees/witnesses standing out in steady rain and a final result over $50,000 above reserve price! The power, the transparency and fairness of auction at work here!
The property was very popular as it offered a wide range of potential uses to an equally wide range of buyers. It looked to be a compliant corner site to subdivide and redevelop with one or two new homes, similarly the existing home, though small, was light bright and very likely to suit first homebuyers through to investors and developers. We advertised through five websites, emailed out to our buyer database and conducted weekend open inspections in conjunction with our Guardian Messenger paper and The Advertiser."
- Phil Rogers, Director, Century 21 The Bay
"I SOLD a great home in Christies Beach. The house had two large bedrooms, we advised the vendor to spend some time and money converting them into three, with great results. It took a month or so to get the work done but we feel the $1000 investment returned $10,000s and also resulted in a quick sale time. Our focus is to maximise our client's opportunity to get the best price from the market, even if that means taking more time preparing for market."
- Jason Mills of Timms Real Estate
"I ALWAYS like to exceed my clients' expectations but sometimes a result comes along that just blows your clients away. That was the case with this lovely renovated and extended maisonette with character and charm in city-fringe Mile End, which sold prior to auction. My client was in tears when she saw the final result I had negotiated for her at a price that exceeded her expectations. It was advertised in the Messenger and had an internet campaign with high quality video and twilight photography marketing the property for auction but sold prior."
- Jonathon Kiritsis, of Ray White Mile End
"I SOLD a home in Lockleys which had a total of 242 groups over the four-week campaign. On the day there were 19 registered builders with bidding starting at $500,000 and finishing at $695,000 - no pre-auction offers were considered. This sale was to finalise a deceased estate and the vendors were very realistic on expectation price and they marketed heavily in the Messenger, The Advertiser and online. The block of land was 1000sq m and had potential for subdivision and the house itself was made of solid brick and was built very well. This was definitely my most memorable sale of 2013."
- Ty Read, of Toop & Toop

text: Using the same multispectral analysis concept that enables satellites to study the earth's surface, Purdue University researchers have developed a system that quickly determines the composition of cells and tissue for medical diagnostics and scientific applications. The method, which works by analyzing many separate colors in an object or surface, has been applied to the field of flow cytometry or analyzing cells that are contained in a liquid flowing past a laser beam, says J. Paul Robinson, director of Purdue's cytometry laboratories. "Flow cytometry has been an important analytical tool for research and medicine for many years," he explained. "We have now modified this tool so that much more information can be gleaned in the same amount of time." The new technique enables researchers to study 32 colors from a single cell flowing past a laser beam in a fraction of a second, promising to yield a wealth of data about cells for applications ranging from medicine to homeland security. The technique also could be used to analyze larger objects, such as the pattern of bacteria to detect food-borne contamination and other types of diagnostics.

Statistics Canada says exports and imports both slipped in March, but the country's trade surplus rose to $351-million from $273-million in February.
The agency says exports edged down 0.4 per cent to $39.5-billion with shipments of energy products leading the decline.
Imports decreased 0.6 per cent to $39.1-billion amid lower imports of energy products and industrial goods and materials.
Exports to the United States — Canada's biggest market —fell 2.1 per cent to $28.7 billion, the third consecutive monthly decrease.
Meanwhile, imports from the U.S. declined 1.4 per cent to $24.1-billion as our trade surplus with the Americans decreased to $4.6-billion in March from $4.9-billion in February.
Exports to countries other than the United States rose 4.5 per cent to $10.8-billion and imports increased 0.8 per cent to $15.1-billion, narrowing the trade deficit with those countries to $4.3-billion from $4.6-billion in February.
