Horoscopes for week of August 5, 2004
How much do you want to know about your destiny in the coming week, Aries? How far do you dare to go? For more insight into your shimmering, undulating fate, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
To hint at the potentials of the coming week, I'll appropriate the words of avant-garde music composer and author, John Cage. In describing his work, he once said, "I have nothing to say/ and I am saying it/ and that is poetry." Here's an altered version, Taurus, created especially to suit your current astrological needs: You have nothing to do/ and you are doing it/ and that's your genius.
No one knows you better than you do, Taurus. But maybe you'll be inspired to dig up even more self-knowledge in the coming week if you tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The gods have authorized me to give you three tough but sweet oracles. Ready? 1. If you hope to be in the right place at the right time to hear the words that will set you free, you'll have to act with both more confidence and more humility. 2. To learn the clue that will heal an old rift, you'll have to really want to know what's going on beneath the official version of the truth. 3. To find the hidden beauty and inspiration in an initially awkward mess, you'll have to respond without anger to a message that feels threatening to your pride.
Hungry for more inspiration, Gemini? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Your actions in the immediate future could have a potent impact on your long-range future. For instance, new connections you forge in the coming weeks -- especially if you leave your comfort zone to make them -- will be valuable if you decide to leave your current dream home and head to a new dream home next year. Here's another example: If you spend some time this August trying to fix a glitch in the way you communicate, 2005 may bring a dramatic enrichment of your sense of community and a surge of grace in your family dynamics.
Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Cancerian. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes. For more clues, consider checking out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In describing his creative process, novelist Jack Kerouac said, "The first thought is the best thought." When Allen Ginsberg was asked "What's the best advice you can give a poet?", he echoed Kerouac. On the other hand, Nobel Prize-winning writer William Butler Yeats constantly revised works he had already published, even fiddling with poems that were many years old. Pierre Bonnard was so committed to editing himself that "he was once caught trying to retouch one of his own paintings hanging on a museum wall," wrote poet Linh Dinh, who concluded, "Last thought is the best thought." While there are valid arguments for both views, Leo, the astrological omens say your best bet for now is to go the way of Kerouac and Ginsberg.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Leo? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Before you can move on to your next exciting challenge, you'll have to answer a few hard questions about the life you've lived since your last birthday. The object of this test is not to make you feel guilty, but to help you take inventory of your gaffes and indiscretions so you can make atonement, thereby clearing a path to the future. Have you purposely caused anyone pain? Did you tell any big lies? Did you commit any unethical acts? Have you revealed information told to you in confidence? Do you owe money or energy to anyone you have no intention of paying back? Confess everything, Virgo--to the mirror. Then go set things right, or at least as right as possible.
Where do you want to go in the coming week, Virgo? Who do you want to be? For more clues, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
"If the landscape reveals one certainty," wrote Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, "it is that the extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After the one extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with fresh vigor." In my astrological opinion, Libra, it is your duty to resonate with this particular aspect of the cosmos. For the next few weeks, you have license to overflow with floods of self-expression; you have the right to create like a god who has the pleasure and privilege of creating a new world.
Life will bring you entertaining revelations in the coming week, Libra. To explore even deeper, dive into your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
A Taoist parable tells of a poor farmer who owned a single horse. One night it ran away. The neighbors came to offer condolences. "What bad luck!" they said. "Maybe," the farmer replied. "Maybe not." A week later, the fugitive horse returned, accompanied by six wild horses. The farmer and his son corralled them. "Lucky you!" the neighbors cried. "Maybe," the farmer said. "Maybe not." Soon the son tried taming the new arrivals. A stallion threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. "Terrible luck!" the neighbors wailed. "Maybe," said the farmer. "Maybe not." The next day, soldiers visited the village. Strife had broken out between two warlords, and one had decided to conscript the local young men. Though every other son was taken, the farmer's boy was spared because of his injury. "What fantastic luck!" the neighbors said. I think this story captures the essence of your coming week pretty well, Scorpio.
Want more clues, Scorpio? Need further insight? I discuss your coming week in greater depth in your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In the middle of a moonlit night last February, someone in the English town of Pembury sneaked into the yards of over a hundred homes and secretly planted an ash sapling in each one. It was hard work. The weather was bad and each tree needed a hole dug to accommodate it. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I believe you'll soon be the recipient of a gift like that. Other good surprises may be on tap as well, especially if you say a prayer in which you tell God or Goddess that you're ready, willing, and able to receive all manner of unexpected benevolence.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Sagittarius? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The saliva of vampire bats appears to be effective in dissolving the blood clots that cause strokes. Ongoing research into the medical applications of snake venom suggests it may ultimately be used to fight cancer, heart attacks, and mad cow disease. And I suspect that in the coming weeks, Capricorn, you will be healed by a small dose of an experience that in large doses has felt noxious to you in the past. Keep your mind open to the possibility. Don't automatically avoid everything that seems unpleasant.
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Capricorn? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
You are more ready than you've ever been for the kind of intimacy that the poet Adrienne Rich extols: "An honorable human relationship -- that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word 'love' -- is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other." I'm not implying, Aquarius, that you should find a relationship where you can continually break down your self-delusions and dig for the raw truth. Nor am I insisting that you should prod one of your existing relationships to leap to this higher octave. But I am saying that you have the strength and courage to try it.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Aquarius? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Visionary educator Maria Montessori believed that self-discipline motivated by a child's own enthusiasm is far better than discipline imposed on the child by a strong-willed authority. What's the best way to develop the superior form? Kids need to understand the difference between good and evil, and even more importantly, they must not associate good with passive immobility and evil with animated activity. I believe her argument will be useful for you to meditate on in the coming weeks, Pisces. It's an ideal time to bring more order, efficiency, and discipline into your rhythm. And the best way to do that is to cultivate an irrepressible desire to perpetrate aggressive acts of generosity and good will.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Pisces? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.

I want a wood stove!
When I get a cabin built, I want a wood stove, solar panels, and a "Mr. Fusion Reactor" (I saw that in a movie once)that breaks down the hydrogen in garbage and creates a sustained fusion reaction.

At one time I wanted a wood stove. After six years in Montana, heating my home entirely with one, it is not so appealing any more. Cutting, splitting and hauling 12 to 16 cords every winter just does not appeal to me any more for some reason.

Is there enough wood down there to burn? I've used a wood stove for 25 years as heat and love it still.

I want a pot-bellied wood stove! They are so neat. The wood hauling, cutting, and splitting are certainly a consideration, though. And, yes, there is not much wood in Terlingua. Howard Perry had most of the trees for many miles around cut and burned many years ago, to run the smelter in his Chisos Mining Co. cinnabar mine in Terlingua.

I have read your blog for the last few months and really enjoyed it. I went back and read it from the start.
I wish you had more information about how this got started and why also the steps you went through getting moved to the field lab.
Thanks Ron

I noticed a Mr. Heater hanging on your wall in one of your pics. I have a cabin in NV built out of a 20' shipping container. I love my propane Mr. Heater, but the interior moisture build up is a nuisance. Any good suggestions to minimize interior water/ice build up on the windows? Thanks man and keep up the good work. You're inspiring!

Marc Jacobs Continues His Sprouse Revival for Fall 2009
>> The reports were right: Marc Jacobs took the Stephen Sprouse moment he was having over at Louis Vuitton and extended it into his own Fall 2009 Marc Jacobs collection. There were only folding chairs and a red carpet, no bleachers and extravagant set of yesteryear — apparently it's going to be the same at Louis Vuitton, according to Marc, a tight guest list and two rows — but all the better for the bright neon coats, ponchos, and hooded jackets to stand out. "The collection is all about clubbing in the '80s, when New Yorkers could have fun, be creative. Not like now . . ." Marc explained backstage, where Carine Roitfeld unexplainedly asked him if he was wearing underwear and he lifted up his kilt to show her he was. It all happened so fast, starting one minute early and finishing eight minutes later, but the tone has been set; it's all about the individual — each of the 65 girls had a different makeup look and hairstyle.

So, on the front end, I am NOT Mac illiterate at all.
We have one employee who purchased a new OSX Mac laptop, and we're trying to get it to remote connect to our W2k terminal servers via RDC that MS has available for download for Macs. This worked for a while, but now I get this message when I try to connect to our server now:
Any other computer can connect just fine without this error, so it's only a problem with the Mac.Either remote connections are not enabled, the maximum number of connections was exceeded, or a network error occured.
So any clue what to do with this? Is there perhaps a registry entry I need to tweak?

about two weeks ago i noticed the air seemed to be running but no cooling. the compressor was not running. I removed the cover and found the red wire on the relay going to the compressor burnt off. It looked very corroded so I cut it back put on a new connector hooked it back up and everything worked. fast forward two weeks . Air cond not cooling checked unit just humming checked wires this
time the orange wire going to the compressor and the white wire on compressor side of relay were burned up . repaired them and everything is ok. I must be pulling to much current. for some reason the wires are burning but not tripping the breakers . The unit is a fifteen years old keeprite ( low green unit) any suggestions ? Does this sound like a terminal problem or is it repairable at a reasonable price. I already got a quote for a new Trane furnace and heat pump combo. which was not outrageous with all the
government rebate programs they are running in Canada. I guess i need to decide if it is worth fixing and putting off the enevitable till next year

One in a series
MADRID — Most of my day was spent waiting hours for the arrival of the pope. I was told that some pilgrims arrived at Plaza de Cibeles for the pope's entrance over 8 hours before he was expected!
If there is one thing I have learned at WYD thus far, it is to practice the virtue of patience.
The anticipation was palpable all through the day at Cibeles, and to pass the time people were playing cards, taking naps, doing the Macarena, throwing beach balls and doing the wave. I had to remind myself I was at WYD, not a college football game!
The long awaited moment finally came, and the party-like atmosphere faded into solemnity as Pope Benedict took the microphone to address the pilgrims. After greeting everyone in 6 languages, there was Gospel reading and then the pope spoke about the reading in Spanish.
His words were poetic and careful, but powerful. He advocated turning to the Bible as the source of truth, saying, "There are words which serve only to amuse, as fleeting as an empty breeze; others, to an extent, inform us; those of Jesus, on the other hand, must reach our hearts, take root and bloom there all our lives."
I thought this was such an incredible explanation of how the Bible should fit into our everyday lives, and give us the ability to "build on solid rock."
The hours of waiting were over quickly, as the welcoming celebration with Pope Benedict lasted exactly one hour.
After the ceremony, I received an unexpected but welcome invitation; the chance to attend dinner with the 64 U.S. bishops that are in Madrid for WYD.
One of the big things about WYD is encounter God through encountering others. At dinner, I sat beside the bishop of the Diocese of Austin and though our conversation was not profound, it was lighthearted and congenial. I felt that connection that WYD is all about, and after a long day of waiting, I could simply sit and enjoy the presence of those around me.
On a final note of the day, I would like to say that despite many media reports about WYD protestors, Madrid is not running rampant with anti-WYD advocates. Although I have heard some talk of people witnessing protestors, the presence of Christ is much stronger this week than any opponents. Even if there are protests, the chants of "Benedicto!" are drowning them out.
Sara Angle, 21, is a senior at Villanova University and has written for CNS from Rome and Washington. She enjoys traveling and soaking up the culture of her surroundings, be it through food, fashion or faith, and looks forward to covering WYD for CNS — from the big events to the off-beat adventures. Sara loves reading and writing (but not arithmetic) and dancing like no one is watching. You can also follow her on Twitter @CatholicNewsSvc. She'll be using the hashtag #SaraInMadrid.

Welcome to the Webcam-Network Project!
Most webcam-directories offer listings of places where webcams are located but are of no great help if you want to watch a place where no webcam is available.
We take a different approach:
We offer a listing of almost every place on earth and point you to webcams at these places (if available) and the nearest webcams available. This way you are able to find webcams as close as possible to your favorite location if there is no webcam available (yet).
Where did we get the data from?
The webcam data are kindly provided by Webcam Galore, where continuously new webcams are added and dead links are removed.
The topographical informations are kindly provided by the GEOnet Names Server, recommending using the following citation:
'Toponymic information is based on the Geographic Names Data Base, containing official standard names approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names and maintained by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. More information is available at the Products and Services link at www.nga.mil. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency name, initials, and seal are protected by 10 United States Code Section §445.'
Based on these data we have created and are permanently updating a distance-matrix to be able to provide you the data mentioned above.
And what's next?
Feel free to use our Search for Locations, or access our database via the complete listing. There surely are places where the next webcam is thousands of kilometers away, but you may give it a try (some of these lists are huge):

Meeting with Slovak State Secretary
5 March 2014, Budapest – The Director-General of FAO, Jose' Graziano da Silva, met today with Ms Magdalena Lacko-Bartosova, State Secretary with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Slovak Republic.
The meeting took place on the occasion of the Global Forum and Expo on Family Farming (Budapest, 4-6 March 2014).
Discussion focused on the importance of FAO's relationship with Slovakia, and in particular on participation in the forthcoming FAO Regional Conference for Europe (Bucharest, 2-4 April 2014).
Both the Director-General and Ms Lacko-Bartosova underscored the importance of events connected with the International Year of Family Farming, and the need to develop and extend the concept beyond 2014.

From the Director:
Each day, your preschooler will engage in various hands-on activities designed to introduce him to the current learning objectives in a meaningful, personal way. He'll explore, and discover solutions working by himself, with a friend or in small groups. The preschool curriculum features 26 two-week units. Each unit has its own theme. Throughout each unit, our goal is to make the theme come alive for your child, so that he is always completely engaged in his day. These themes have been carefully designed to help prepare your preschooler for his next step in the La Petite Academy Journey - our Pre-Kindergarten Program. The curriculum also suggests activities and literature to use for each theme. View our Preschool Theme List. Preschool teachers choose from over 200 learning activities tied to specific Learning Objectives. Teachers choose from these activities based on which of the more than 70 objectives your child needs more focus on. In covering the Learning Objectives your child will be involved in activities that promote Language & Communication Development, Cognitive Development, Creativity and the Arts, Physical Development, and Personal & Social Development. Assessments and Lesson Planning The Learning Objectives are introduced and repeated throughout the curriculum. Teachers track your child's developmental progress towards the Objectives in two ways. They perform ongoing assessments by observing your early preschooler within the Learning Centers and other daily activities and taking notes on his progress on a day-to-day basis. These assessments are not the traditional 'tests' or one-on-one assessments that elementary school children might experience. We believe it is more accurate and feasible to observe early preschoolers' behavior and skills within a typical daily activity and context. They regularly monitor each child's journal entries and the work stored during the entire school year in his portfolio. Teachers use the assessment results to build their weekly lesson plans, which help them keep track of the activities that they have chosen to do with the children, as well as the materials and literature that they need. Important Features Literacy The Academy's Preschool Program has a strong focus on emergent literacy, and the curriculum is paired with over 200 age-appropriate books throughout the year. Each book has been hand-selected based on the illustrations, the vocabulary, its focus on the current theme and its unique ability to engage the children. In addition, our literature selections emphasize diversity among ethnicities, geographies, cultures and holidays. Look over our recommended literature list for the Art Adventurers unit. Journals Your child can draw or write in his personal journal within the Writing Center every day. Each day, the teacher introduces a new journaling topic, such as 'Who is your favorite artist?' The children can journal about the topic, or anything else on their minds. By the time children reach preschool, they are beginning to journal on more topics than they did in early preschool. You'll be amazed at how your child's drawings change from the beginning to the end of the school year, as he begins to learn how to communicate through print. Through journaling, your child is working on important learning objectives, such as: printing the letters within his name drawing pictures with five to six varying details suggesting ideas for creative interpretation dictating writing to express thoughts The teachers label and date the journal entries based on what your child said about his drawing - this way both the teacher and you know what your child's intentions were. You are welcome to look through your preschooler's journal as often as you like. Your preschool teacher will take you through the journal during your semi-annual parent-teacher conferences. At the end of the year, we hope you'll take your child's completed journals home as a keepsake of his preschool school year. Portfolios During each unit, several items that your child worked on are labeled, dated, and stored in his portfolio. This way your child's teacher can monitor his progress and share this with you during parent teacher conferences. At the end of the year, you can also take the portfolio home as another keepsake. Kids of Character An important and unique feature of our curriculum is La Petite Academy's Kids of Character component. Kids of Character was first introduced in 2001 in response to the aftermath of the September 11th tragedy, and has helped children of all ages learn about important topics such as tolerance, perseverance, honesty, teamwork and self-discipline. Each month a different trait is featured, and your child will learn and discuss the trait through various group activities

This is a Test with Images
Apr 27 2014
I think I might have finally found the code culprit (with lots of help from friends and one who also happens to be a co-worker plus talented developer) that was causing the spam issue with my blog.
This is a final test to see if it still works if I insert an image. Since the kids and I have really been enjoying watching COSMOS every week, here's an image for that show with a link back to wikipedia.
Hopefully, I will check my email in the morning and see another spam free post! Although it's taken a long time for the right person to help figure out the issue (crossing fingers), it least it hasn't been billions and billions of years. 🙂 Good night.Author: Aruni | Filed under: entrepreneurship | Tags: Carl Sagan, COSMOS, Neil deGrasse Tyson | 1 Comment »

Gallery: Things That Will Be At Kate Moss' Wedding
So, The Telegraph tells me that Kate Moss is kicking her wedding plans into high gear, and that the three-day affair is going to be something out of Stefon's wildest nightmares. In fact, part of me thinks she's mainly doing it as an excuse to throw the most epic party ever. Here are some things that will be there, according to the Internet.[ITPGallery]

HOUSTON (KGO) --Talk about pulling out all the stops!
A Houston firefighter posted this video on YouTube showing how he proposed to his girlfriend.
Jesse Gonzalez, 31, has been with the Houston Fire Department for 11 years.
Last Friday, the engineer operator decided it was finally time to ask his girlfriend, Olga Peck, to marry him.
Olga is a police officer with the Houston Police Department.
Jesse says he came up with the idea in February to fake a fire call in Olga's district while she was working. It's standard practice for a police officer to respond to a fire to help with security.
Jesse talked to managers at both the Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department and they signed off on the idea and helped him set it all up.
When Olga arrived to the fake scene, Jesse came walking out of the smoke, got down onto one knee, and popped the question. She was shocked, totally surprised, but she did say yes.
The couple has not set a date yet. Jesse says he spent a lot of money on the ring on a fireman's budget, but is now saving up to give her the wedding of her dreams.

Saddened By Comments
It has been my privilege to teach seventh grade science at Owen Valley Middle School for the past 29 years. The students of this corporation are very important to me, so I was saddened to read the Governor's comments concerning teachers during his recent surprise visit to Spencer. In the February 12th edition of the Spencer Evening World he is quoted as saying, "The average teacher's pay is going up 4.4 percent." He went on to suggest that by going a year without a pay raise we could solve our budget problems. I would like the people of Owen County to know the truth about teacher pay raises here. Knowing the disastrous budget problems facing our corporation last year, our teachers voted to take no raise. In addition to that, we also voted to take a health insurance plan that would cost teachers much more out of pocket, but save the corporation nearly a quarter of a million dollars. This was not publicized at the time, but was done in the best interests of our students. In all likelihood, we will agree to accept no pay raise this year as well.
The Governor went on to say, "The average teacher makes a lot more than the average worker, like $48,000 to $39,000." I was the first person from my family to ever attend, let alone graduate from college. My parents and grandparents were so proud of me. I am the American dream... work hard in school, earn a scholarship, graduate from college and make a better life for your family. Isn't this what all of us want for our students and our children? Education can be the key to a better standard of living. To imply that teachers, most of whom hold two college degrees, are greedy because we earn more money than the average worker without a college degree is hurtful.
Please keep our corporation in your prayers as we work through these very difficult times.

These are the books from the Kindle Library that were rated five stars. If you have already downloaded the Kindle Library there is not much new here so I would recommend saving your bandwidth.
If you haven't checked out the previous versions of the libraries I will explain. I have gone through and opened each ebook and rated the quality. These are the books that are retail or close to retail (indistinguishable) and included in both libraries.
Many Demonoid members have requested a separate of just the highest quality books, so here it is.
Things you should know before downloading this as opposed to downloading the library:
It will take longer to add books to Calibre since each book has to be added individually. As opposed to the "switch library" option which will load much quicker.

Annoyed by All the Pseudo-Books Flooding Amazon Recently? You know the ones. They have alluring, professional looking covers. They promise to solve a problem...nay, solve your life, but they rarely deliver that in the end. They might be overly short, more like a pamphlet. They may just lead you back to the authors website to buy more stuff. Are you ready to say "enough is enough" and find some decent books on Amazon that actually deliver what they promise and are written by real people--no marketers, scammers, or "Kindle Gold Rushers"?

#11 The Last Lingua Franca: English Until the Return of Babel
17-07-2015, 11:56
Nicholas Ostler, "The Last Lingua Franca: English Until the Return of Babel"
English | 2010-11-23 | ISBN: 0802717713 | 352 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 1.30 mb + 1.74 mb
English is the world's lingua franca-the most widely spoken language in human history. And yet, as historian and linguist Nicholas Ostler persuasively argues, English will not only be displaced as the world's language in the not-distant future, it will be the last lingua franca, not replaced by another. Empire, commerce, and religion have been the primary raisons d'etre for lingua francas--Greek, Latin, Arabic have all held the position--and Ostler explores each through the lens of civilizations spanning the globe and history, from China and India to Russia and Europe. Three trends emerge that suggest the ultimate decline of English and other lingua francas. Movements throughout the world towards equality in society will downgrade the status of elites--and since elites are the prime users of non-native English, the language will gradually retreat to its native-speaking territories. The rising wealth of Brazil, Russia, India, and China will challenge the dominance of native-English-speaking nations--thereby shrinking the international preference for English. Simultaneously, new technologies will allow instant translation among major languages, enhacing the status of mother tongues and lessening the necessity for any future lingua franca.Ostler predicts a soft landing for English: It will still be widely spoken, if no longer worldwide, sustained by America's continued power on the world stage. But its decline will be both symbolic and significant, evidence of grand shifts in the cultural effects of empire. The Last Lingua Franca is both an insightful examination of the trajectory of our own mother tongue and a fascinating lens through which to view the sweep of history.

To complicate matters further, she's forced to also take on a case of apparent kidnapping.
But with no ransom demand and a client she despises, it may be more of a struggle to solve than she realises.

LONDON (AP) — A gripping account of a doomed attempt to climb Mount Everest has won Britain's leading nonfiction book prize.
"Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory and the Conquest of Everest" by Canadian author Wade Davis was awarded the 20,000 pound ($32,000) Samuel Johnson Prize on Monday.
British mountaineer Mallory — the man who famously declared he wanted to climb Everest "because it is there" — died on the world's highest peak in 1924, and debate still rages about whether he reached the summit.
Davis sets the expedition in the context of Britain's imperial history and the trauma of World War I.
David Willetts, a British Conservative lawmaker who chaired the judging panel, said the book is "an exciting story of human endeavor imbued with deep historical significance."
"This fascinating historical narrative of a great adventure manages to shed new light on events and stories we thought we already knew," Willetts said.
Davis beat five other shortlisted titles, including Katherine Boo's "Behind The Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Slum" and Steven Pinker's "The Better Angels Of Our Nature: A History Of Violence and Humanity."
The prize recognizes English-language books from any country in the areas of current affairs, history, politics, science, sport, travel, biography, autobiography and the arts.
Davis, the National Geographic Society's explorer-in-residence, has written 15 books on topics ranging from Haitian zombies to the Amazon rainforest.

A bridge over Interstate 26 is expected to be closed 45 days for crews to repair and raise it.
A bridge over Interstate 26 is expected to be closed 45 days for crews to repair and raise it.
The S.C. Route 11 bridge at Exit 5 in Spartanburg County will close March 5. It's scheduled to reopen April 19 if weather permits.
Project Manager Lindy Hallman with United Contractors said the bridge will be raised to more than 16 feet high. A bridge railing on one side has been damaged and will either be repaired or replaced, he said.
Hallman said after the S.C. Route 11 bridge is closed, crew members will dig out each end of the bridge, disconnect it from the bridge caps and place around six 80 and 100 ton jacks beneath the bridge. Each span will be raised, metal plates placed beneath them and the bridge caps will be extended before concrete is poured. The road will be repaved and the grade increased to match the bridge's new height.
Drivers will be detoured along I-26 during the closure. Westbound traffic will detour to Exit 1 and taking I-26 East to Exit 5, while eastbound traffic will detour to Exit 10 and take I-26 West to Exit 5. Interstate ramps will remain open to right turns and through movements.
Cole Harrison, resident construction engineer with the S.C. Department of Transportation, said about 4,000 people cross the bridge each day. Harrison said there could be alternate traffic patterns during the project, but said lanes won't be closed.
The project includes seven bridges crossing I-26 in Spartanburg County. The S.C. Route 11 bridge is the first slated to be raised. Other bridges include Foster Road, Edwards Road, SC 292, Calvary Road, Clark Road and New Cut Road.
Harrison said only one bridge will be shut down at a time during the project.
Hallman said people can be impatient about detours but said they are necessary to ensure workers and drivers' safety. He asks people to obey construction signs and be patient.
"We will try to get through as quick as we can," Hallman said.

RUSK COUNTY, TX (KLTV) - Officials are investigating the death of the 79-year-old man found dead in a home in the 11-thousand block of FM 2012 as a murder. Sunday afternoon, the investigation was deemed a homicide, but authorities later changed it to be a murder investigation.
The body of the 79-year-old man whose identity authorities are not yet releasing was discovered Saturday by the mans nephew. His identity is also not being released.
Officials did confirm that the man who was found dead is the homeowner and was the only occupant of that home, located south of Kilgore in Rusk County.
While officials have not yet released details on the investigation or what had happened, they say that the death is being investigated as a murder. The Rusk County Sheriff's Office and Texas Rangers are investigating the incident.
Sunday afternoon, officials from the Rusk County Sheriff's Office, Henderson, Kilgore and Tatum all searched a 5-mile radius around the property for any physical evidence connected to the death of the 79-year-old man. Shortly after 3 P.M. officials discovered credit cards in the area, but have not yet said if they are related to the murder investigation. Around 4 P.M. Sunday, the search ended.
A homicide is described as the killing of a human being due to the act or omission of another. A murder is described as the killing of a human being by a sane person, with intent, malice aforethought (prior intention to kill the particular victim or anyone who gets in the way) and with no legal excuse or authority.
The Rusk County Sheriff's Office will be holding a press conference Monday at 1pm to release the findings of their investigation. KLTV 7 will be there and will have the very latest on this developing story posted on KLTV.com

WINONA, Minn. (AP) – Some residents are appealing the Winona County Board's decision not to require a detailed environmental review of a proposed frack sand mine.
In their appeal, the 12 residents contend the board failed to address potential cumulative effects of the proposed Nisbit mine in combination with other sand mines proposed in the area.
KAGE-AM reports the group also maintains the board failed to adequately consider and respond to comments from the public and state agencies.
Last month the board voted 3-2 not to require an environmental impact statement for the Nisbit mine. The proposed 20-acre mine site is located outside Utica and is in the center of a cluster of proposed mines.
Demand for silica sand is high because it's used in hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," that produces oil and gas.

Changing with the Climate
Seattle hopes to become the world's first climate-neutral city. It's no small task: The City must account for, and reduce, the carbon footprint of everything from transportation to trash for hundreds of thousands of people. City Council President and YES! Magazine board member Richard Conlin is blogging about the city's efforts.
The climate is already changing and will keep changing—no matter how rapidly we are able to turn around greenhouse gas accumulation. So we will need a strategy for adapting to the expected impacts (which were reviewed in the previous post). Here is what Seattle is doing.
The outstanding example of the City's work to adapt to climate change is our program to manage the water supply that Seattle owns and operates, which serves not only the City, but most of the surrounding King County suburbs. Seattle's water conservation strategy has reduced water consumption in our system to the levels of the 1960s, even though we serve more than 40 percent more people than we did then. We have developed a state of the art reservoir management and stream flow forecasting model and implemented an asset management strategy that includes climate change as a risk factor. We can withstand the impacts of climate change and still guarantee the water supply for at least the next fifty years.
Seattle City Light has also long been a leader in energy conservation and developing carbon neutral resources, but as the climate changes, reduced snowpack and stream flows will impact our hydroelectric capacity. We will continue to mitigate climate impacts by relying on conservation and renewable resources for our future energy needs. In the next few years, we will have to figure out how to adapt our hydro system to changes in power availability.
The vulnerability of City infrastructure is a critical problem. We have adopted regulations and programs to ensure that buildings are as resilient as possible and to moderate expected issues such as increased stormwater runoff. To address the impact of increased storm events on our drainage system and flooding problems, the City has adopted a Green Stormwater Infrastructure program to employ natural, on-site drainage strategies to minimize the amount of stormwater that flows into pipes and conveyance systems. Seattle's drainage system is designed for the "typical" Seattle rain event, a slow and steady rainfall. Sharp, sudden storms can overwhelm that. Rather than resize the entire storm sewer system, a hugely expensive and disruptive project, our best strategy is to reduce flow into it.
In transportation, we are expanding the options that people have to travel so they can manage in the event of infrastructure damage. We also have policies to ensure that new and rebuilt bridges and seawalls are able to withstand sea level rise, and to limit development in coastal areas.
Strategies to protect vulnerable populations from increasing numbers of extreme weather events are being incorporated into emergency management and public health planning. The City is developing improved assessments and mitigation programs for our urban watersheds and a campaign to expand and protect our tree cover. Seattle also has responsibility for four areas outside the City limits that we impact with our hydroelectric dams and water storage, and we have created habitat management plans for the Cedar, Skagit, Pend Oreille, and Tolt Watersheds.
Finally, we have adopted a race and social justice lens to analyze the impacts of budget, program, and policy proposals, and will use this to guide our work on climate adaptation.
Other specific steps currently underway include:
- Creating a methodology for analyzing sea level rise for City projects, which will be piloted with the Elliott Bay seawall replacement;
- Developing a planning tool for City staff to use to consider how climate change will impact new capital projects and existing buildings and incorporate adaptation options;
- Including adaptation in the updates of the Climate Action Plan and the Comprehensive Plan.
Our next efforts will include preparing guidelines for climate change analysis for higher cost, longer lifespan projects with potentially high vulnerability and risk profiles, and developing a vulnerability and risk assessment methodology so that we can set priorities for investments in protecting City infrastructure.
All of these efforts are intended to use science-based assessments and implement strategies that will have measurable results. To the extent that we are successful, the people of Seattle will be protected from some of the unavoidable impacts of climate change, sometimes without even knowing what has been done and what the problems may have been that will be avoided. Will this cause people to be less worried about climate change—and less likely to support policies and changes that will prevent emissions in the future?
Probably not, because the evidence of change will be overwhelming. The people of Seattle and the political leadership have already clearly grasped the nature of the problem. Adapting to the impacts is the responsible public policy, and in no way should cause us to lessen our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality for the long run.

Attorney General warns NH residents to beware phone scamsBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 31. 2013 10:57PM
New Hampshire residents are being warned about an active phone scam in which bank customers receive calls telling them their credit or debit cards have been compromised and asking for sensitive personal information.
New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster and New Hampshire Bankers Association President Christiana Thornton say the messages are fraudulent and are from scammers, not the banks.
The Attorney General and Bankers Association say legitimate organizations do not contact their customers in this manner to obtain or verify personal information, such as account numbers, PINs, passwords, dates of birth or Social Security numbers.
Before providing any personal information over the phone or in response to a text message or email, bank customers should call the bank's customer service number to find out if there is a problem. Unsolicited calls or emails are suspect and anyone who receives a suspicious call is urged to terminate it as soon as possible.
Sandra Bradley of Manchester said she received a call Wednesday with a recorded message claiming to be from "your credit card company," without ever identifying the company. She said she immediately knew the call was a scam and didn't engage the call.
"I hung up," she said.
Foster noted in the written statement that the scam artists are very creative in avoiding detection and are skilled at hiding their identity. The scams are often operated from outside the country and are very difficult to trace, he said.
Consumers should always exercise extreme caution before providing any personally identifying information to anyone over the phone or on the internet, Foster said. Consumers should only do so when they have particular guarantees of trustworthiness.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office has a consumer hotline to answer questions. That number is 1-888-468-4454.
For more information about how to avoid scams or frauds, visit the Department of Justice website at http://doj.nh.gov/consumer.
Valuable information is also available at the FTC website at http://www.ftc.gov, and the website for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at http://www.consumerfinance.gov.

Discovery of the Higgs boson and lack of discovery of superpartners in the first run at LHC are both predictions of split supersymmetry with thermal dark matter. We discuss what it would take to find gluinos at hadron supercolliders, including the LHC at 14 TeV center of mass energy, and future pp colliders at 100 TeV and 200 TeV. We generalize the discussion by re-expressing the search capacity in terms of gluino to lightest superpartner mass ratio, and apply results to other scenarios, such as gauge mediation and mirage mediation. In those models, distinctive gaugino mass ratios arise at leading order, but can be significantly modified by large logarithmic quantum corrections from split spectrum.

Anchorman 2 Teaser Trailer: You Haven't Changed a Bit
Staying classy.
The style of the teaser trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is identical to last year's bootleg version, but the dialogue is different (though the message is the same.) It doesn't offer any information about the sequel's plot — or glimpses of exciting new cast members like Kristin Wiig and Harrison Ford — but it does give the main characters a chance to remind us why exactly we liked them so much back in 2004. KVWN sportscaster Champ Kind (David Koechner) has liquor breath and wants to be your friend; reporter Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) is feeling confident about his new snake venom cologne; weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell) wishes everyone a happy Easter; and the anchorman himself, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), still wants us to stay classy. We're still doing our best.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Genetic differences could explain why some 40 percent of people with asthma do not respond to inhaled steroids used to achieve long-term asthma control.
U.S. researchers have found that asthma patients who inherited two copies of a specific gene variant were far less likely to respond to steroid inhalers than people with two copies of the more common version of the gene.
"This finding helps to explain the genetic basis for the long-standing observation that some people do not respond well to what is a common asthma treatment," said Dr. Susan Shurin, acting director of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, which sponsored the study released online on Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings point the way to more personalized treatments for asthma, an inflammatory disease that affects more than 22 million Americans and some 300 million people worldwide.
Inhaled steroids work by reducing swelling of the airways.
"The study illustrates the importance of research examining the relationship between genetic makeup and response to therapy for asthma, and underscores the need for personalized treatment for those who have it," said Shurin, whose agency is part of the National Institutes of Health.
For the study, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School -- both in Boston -- analyzed the genetic information from more than 1,000 people enrolled in clinical trials evaluating different asthma treatments.
The researchers used a family based model in which they studied the genetic makeup of children with asthma and their parents to identify genes that might play a role in response to inhaled steroids, such as AstraZeneca's budesonide sold under the Pulmicort brand and Glaxosmithkline's fluticasone or Flovent, a key ingredient in its Advair asthma treatment.
The team, led by Dr. Kelan Tantisira, found that people who inherited two copies of a genetic variant to the GLCCI1 gene were less likely to respond to treatment.
In the poor responders, treatment with an inhaler produced just one third of the level of lung improvement as that seen in people with two regular copies of the gene.
NEJM Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jeffrey Drazen said in an editorial the study brings researchers closer to being able to identify which patients are most likely to respond to treatment from inhaled steroids, which are used by millions of people.
But much work still needs to be done to understand how genetic differences affect asthma treatment, Drazen said.
"Although these research results are a step forward, they are not the end of the road," Drazen wrote.
He said clinical trials will need to be done to see if understanding a person's genetic response to drugs helps improve treatment results.
The findings were presented on Monday at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam.

What is important to your business when using social networks? Is a question many companies should be asking every time they log onto their social sites, such as Facebook or Twitter. Understanding what the purpose is for using these sites is vital in knowing the types of content your business will produce and share on them, as well as, what your company hopes to gain from using them.
For most businesses, the answer would be to connect, engage, and build reciprocal relationships with the right people, but finding the right people for your business is not always easy and usually takes a lot of time and effort to accomplish. Many companies have begun using sites that measure social influence, such as, Klout and Kred to discover their best customers and brand evangelists; however, besides a Klout or Kred score there isn't much else to go on.

I have never figured out why hunters go hunting without verifying their zero and doing it well. I was surprised when I learned of this phenomenon and even more shocked when folks here responded with stories indicating that it is a widespread and common problem.

unverified zero
I am a bit confused by this as well. Are you saying that the zero went bad inadvertantly during your hunt and you were unaware or are you saying that it might have been bad before ever leaving camp?

OP here,
I arrived the night before opening day.
No daylight to do any target practicing.
The SKS had a peep sight that was fine the year before, spent a year in the safe and then came out.
The morning of opening day, I slung it over my shoulder and walked to my stand.
When I reached my ground stand, I leaned it against a fallen tree, and put my heat seat on same fallen tree and picked up the rifle.
I did not ever bump, drop, or scrape the rifle on anything.
When I hunt with scoped firearms I always do a "sight-in."
This is the only time I've had irons come loose.
They have always been rock steady.
I see now, that that can change.
How it did, is a complete and utter mystery to me.

I have had some ugly kills. Anyone that has hunted any length of time likely has. Experiences like yours can be a harsh education.
I'll bet it will be sighted in next time.

"It's an imperfect world, Sir..... screws fall out."
I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea that somone will go hunting with a rifle that their hand is less familiar with than they are with their income tax form ...... you have months to recheck your taxes before submitting them. You might only get one shot at that buck of a lifetime..... I know I'd sure hate to take it with a gun I had not even picked up since last November.

I'm with Brian Pfleuger. No intentionally painful kills, but they are animals!
They can't fear death because they don't know what it is.
Projecting human emotions and fears onto animals is a foolish mistake.
Animals rarely die a peaceful death. There's no ICU for them. They usually die from an accident and becoming prey to a predator. Man is just a kinder predator.

It is sort of like having your reliable car checked out by the mechanic before making a cross country road trip.
I referenced folks with issues above concerning sighting, hunting, and problems. Here it is.

If one hunts long enough, they will see stranger things happen than just sights coming loose. Sights don't come loose or get off by sitting in the gun safe since last season. Scopes don't go bad that way either. The vibrations by the ride to one's hunting spot has probably loosened more irons and jiggle more scopes loose than all other reasons combined. Back in 1968 I bought a M1917 for $25. Stock sight was a peep sight, so I took it to the neighborhood gunsmith, had him cut down and re-crown the barrel and put a set of Williams sights on it. Got it back two weeks before season and sighted it in. Opening morning a nice ten point runs up and looks at me. I looked down the barrel at him and there was no rear sight. Somehow the screws had loosened up and the sight had fallen off on the walk to my stand in the dark. Thank goodness the buck was only 30 yards away and I was familiar with the gun. A good guesstimate and point blank range yielded me a dandy deer. A week later, a new rear sight firmly fastened with locktite and the gun never needed any adjustments for the next 20 years. In the eighties I broke down and put a cheap POS Tasco 3X9 scope on it. Sighted it in and have never had to take the adjustment caps off it again. Lucky maybe? I have a .32 Winchester Special that my grandpa bought after he came home from WWI. He gave it to me the second year I hunted deer. He had sighted it in when he got it in 1919. I've used it and taken deer, and my two sons have used it to take deer. The sights have never been changed since the first adjustment 93 years ago. Even tho grandpa ran over it once after forgetting he left it leaning on the bumper of the truck.
Yes sights loosen up and scopes go bad. One should always check their gun for accuracy before using it to hunt. But not just to check the sights, but to become familiar with it again if it has not been used for a while. I bet unfamiliarity with one's firearm has led to more misses/bad hits than sights/scopes knocked off. Over the years I have seen many situations other than apathy or laziness where a gun didn't get shot by the hunter before season. Sometimes it was a college student home for the first time since the beginning of the school year. They had shot the gun the year before.....but came home the night before season. Seen the same thing with GIs coming home from service or on leave just in time for hunting. I don't begrudge these folks for not shooting and I won't be the one to tell them they shouldn't hunt without shooting their gun first. In all of the cases I saw, they did just fine. I'm not saying it should be the norm, just saying odds are, if one misses or makes a bad hit, odds are it ain't the gun......even tho the gun usually gets the blame. Wish I had a nickle for every time I heard someone blame the scope for a clean miss or a bad hit, but when they sat down and shot at a stationary non-living target, they hit just fine.

I agree they are never perfect no matter how great the placement is. I downed a 6 pointer with a 12 gauge at 20 yards. Only really found pieces of heart left in its chest cavity. But that was after it still dropped instantly and kicked for a few seconds. This whole fold up and die peaceful thing I think rarely happens.

We're hunting. Any shot that destroys/disrupts the animals CNS or cardio-pulmonary system is "perfect". The fact that it took 5 or 10 seconds to fully succumb is irrelevant.

Over the next four days, Rome's Jesuit population will increase by about 50 percent. The Society of Jesus' 35th General Congregation, convoked to elect a new superior general, begins Monday morning with Mass in Rome's Gesu Church, the site of the tomb of St. Ignatius, the Jesuit founder. The 225 delegates to the General Congregation will be joined by many of the 446 Jesuits who live and work or study in Rome full time.
About 20 of the delegates live in Rome, working at the Jesuit headquarters, the Jesuit-run Pontifical Gregorian University or at the Vatican, like Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican Press Office, Vatican Radio and the Vatican Television Center. The remaining 200 are being housed in remodeled or modified rooms in Jesuit institutions all over the city.
While reporters are not allowed into the General Congregation sessions, several Jesuits are preparing to share the inside story with cybernauts: U.S. Jesuit Father Don Doll, an award-winning photographer, already is in Rome and posting photos on his site; U.S. Father Thomas Rochford, the head of communications for the Jesuits, has a blog and a relatively new podcast going; and, of course, the Jesuit press office has prepared a Web site to keep Jesuits and other readers informed.

Phototherapy for Jaundice in NewbornsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing high bilirubin levels that cause jaundice in a newborn.
In the standard form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib (incubator) and is exposed to a special light that is absorbed by your baby's skin. During this process, the bilirubin in the baby's body is changed into another form that can be more easily excreted in the stool and urine.
A baby with jaundice may need to stay under a phototherapy light for several days. Phototherapy doesn't damage a baby's skin.
During this type of phototherapy:
- The baby is undressed so that as much of the skin as possible is exposed to the light.
- The baby's eyes are covered to protect the nerve layer at the back of the eye (retina) from the bright light.
- Feeding should continue on a regular schedule. There is no need to stop breastfeeding.
- The bilirubin level is measured at least once a day.
Potential problems that may occur during this standard form of phototherapy include:
- Skin rash.
- Damage to the nerve layer at the back of the eye (retina), if the eyes are not properly protected.
- Dehydration, if the infant does not receive adequate fluids when feeding.
- Difficulty in maintaining the proper body temperature.
Another type of phototherapy is a fiber-optic blanket or a band. These devices wrap around a baby and can be used at home. Although fiber-optic phototherapy has been shown to reduce bilirubin levels, it takes longer than conventional phototherapy done in a hospital setting. It can be a good alternative for babies with mild jaundice who are otherwise healthy.
If your baby is being treated at home for jaundice, it is important that you understand how to use all the equipment. Ask your health professional for help if you have questions or concerns. A home health nurse may visit to make sure all is going well. The amount of bilirubin in your baby's blood may need to be measured daily.
