A few times a year we are lucky enough to get a night in tech that make everybody sit up and notice - traditionally they include Apple's iPhone and iPad launches and Samsung's Galaxy S announcements.
But on this Magnificent Monday we are getting not two but three major reveals from a triumvirate of the world's tech leviathans, and we couldn't be more excited.
In the San Francisco corner of this tech super slam is Apple - its WWDC 2013 keynote promises some major announcements. It kicks off at 10am PT / 6pm BST / 3am AEST.
Not only are we expecting to see the latest version of its operating system for iPhone and iPad, a redesigned and overhauled iOS 7, we also expect a look at Mac's OS X update, OS X 10.9, and potentially new Macbook Pros and Mac Pros.
But the headliner may well prove to be a new service - with the much vaunted iRadio arriving to bring's Apple's music offering into an era where Spotify and Pandora have begun to eat into the old hand iTunes.
- Keep up with all the WWDC 2013 announcements from Apple
Even as Apple is announcing its latest kit, the tech world's attention will be flitting over to Las Vegas and the E3 2013 keynote from Microsoft which kicks off at 9.30am PT / 5.30pm BST / 2.30am AEST.
We're hoping the event will reveal much, much more about what the Xbox One will be bringing to our living rooms.
The focus, after what can only be described as vitriolic response to the tech- and services-heavy Xbox One reveal, will thankfully be on gaming and what titles will be vying to attract the world to the Microsoft gaming world.
- Read all the latest on the Xbox One E3 announcements, or check out everything we know about Xbox One
A few hours later at 6pm PT / 2am BST / 11am AEST, we'll see what Sony has got up its sleeve as we get our first proper glimpse at the PS4. In what proved to be the complete opposite of Microsoft's approach, Sony gave us a lot of gaming glimpses when it announced the PS4 but very little hardware.
In fact, in what has to be one of the most bizarre steps in recent tech history, Sony decided to keep the actual console out of sight, showing us the controller but not the box that will be sat under our television.
- You can follow all the PS4 and Sony E3 announcements with TechRadar.
Poor old Nintendo's Wii U will not be a part of Magnificent Monday, so we will not get the chance to compare all three of the big guns, but given the lack of impact from the Japanese giant's latest offering it's probably better that its on its own on Tepid Tech Tuesday where at least it gets a chance to have an impact.
With a bit of luck this will be a date that offers up some new innovations that will still be meaningful in the tech world in five year's time.
Until the announcements are made we're not really going to know which of Magnificent Monday's big three bags itself the most headlines, but the anticipation is a big part of the fun.

Founded as Implant Innovations Inc. ("3i") on May 27, 1987 by Dr. Richard Lazzara, a periodontist, and Keith Beaty, an engineer, the company has grown to 1,000 employees with its global headquarters located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. BIOMET 3i is recognized for its cutting-edge product innovations in the development of biologically driven implants; winning worldwide acclaim for the microtextured surface of the OSSEOTITE Implant, which has more than 15 years of documented research. More recently, BIOMET 3i introduced a Bone Bonding NanoTite Surface with a complex architecture at the nano-scale, which produces a mechanical interlocking of the newly formed cement line matrix of bone with the implant surface. BIOMET 3i has also been recognized for its contributions to new dental technologies, such as Digital Dentistry, with the development of its patented BellaTek Encode Impression System. At the core of this system is the BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment, which incorporates special codes embedded on the occlusal surface that translate the dental implant information needed without the clinician having to make an implant level impression. In addition, the impression of the BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment can now be taken with an intraoral scanner allowing for a quicker, more comfortable impression process for the patient.
Superior customer service and supporting continuous learning for dental health care providers have been at the core of the BIOMET 3i Business. This includes the recent launch of the new Institute for Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry (IIRD®), a state-of-the-art learning facility located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with affiliated locations in Mexico and Italy that combines leading-edge technology with evidence-based dentistry.
BIOMET 3i has been a leader in the dental industry for 25 years through continuous innovation, education, new market expansion and long standing relationships with global dental schools and societies. BIOMET 3i will continue to focus on treatment solutions that help to optimize dental care for patients, continuing to make implant dentistry a more widely-accepted form of treatment. More specifically, BIOMET 3i will continue to focus on sustainable aesthetics, accelerated treatment times, digitally driven patient and practice management and comprehensive tissue management.
BIOMET 3i will be celebrating this milestone at key events throughout 2012.
"My dream to better the lives of patients through scientific, evidence-based research has now been fully realized. At BIOMET 3i, our primary goal is to provide clinicians and their patients the simplest, most aesthetic outcomes. I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished throughout the past 25 years," says Dr. Lazzara.

This incident has justifiably caused much concern for parents in that area and throughout the community. Waterloo Police have now identified the driver of the car as a staff member at Hoover Middle School and have determined that there was no criminal intent involved. The driver initially thought the student was a Hoover Middle School student, who the staff member knew, and due to the fact that it was raining at the time, offered her a ride home. The driver realized his mistake when the girl turned to decline his offer, and at that point he continued on his way.
The staff member came forward on his own after seeing reports of the suspicious activity and realizing the reports were likely referring to him.
The Waterloo Police Department considers this case closed.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four years ago he was the fifth-youngest president to take the oath of office. Now Barack Obama is 51, his hair more gray, his face more lined.
He's the parent of a teenager and a tween. (Insert your own joke about teens and gray hair here.) His blood pressure has ticked up a bit, although it's still excellent. He's quit smoking. He's a pet owner.
And the changes in the president aren't just physical. As he enters Term Two, he is sounding more confident, vowing a harder line on negotiations, relying more on trusted allies, promising less and expressing more cynicism about the grip of partisanship on Washington.
And perhaps most important, he seems more convinced of a need to keep the public with him, coming full circle to his people-driven 2008 campaign.
"You can't change Washington from the inside," he said during his re-election campaign. "You can only change it from the outside."
On the best days of his presidency, Obama has been witness to the power and possibilities of the office he holds. On the worst, he's seen its limitations.
He has celebrated passage of his mammoth health-care overhaul. And mourned the lost children of Newtown.
He has savored the nail-biter news that Osama bin Laden at last had been brought down. And stood vigil over the remains of fallen soldiers returned to Dover, Del.
Between the highs and lows came the daily grind of a daunting job whose demands never end. There is always one more negotiation. One more legislative tussle. One more economic soft spot. One more natural disaster.
By all accounts, Obama's style and his character remain largely unchanged. But every chapter of his presidency — the gasp-inducing early economic crisis, the battle over health care, the midterm congressional shellacking, the mass shootings in the past year, the endless negotiations over debt and deficit, the re-election brawl — has helped to mold him and to shape his perspective.
"Four years in, he has a very good sense of the job," says senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. "He has a great sense of what is possible if you do have the American people behind you and willing to push with you to make change."
The president himself, in remarks here and there, has laid out plenty of first-term takeaways that reflect the difficulties he's faced:
—"Everything takes a little longer than you'd like."
—"I underestimated the degree to which, in this town, politics trumps problem solving."
—"The mistake of my first couple of years was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right."
—"No choice you make is without costs."
—"We've got to break the habit of negotiating through crisis over and over again."
To be sure, there's a large dose of self-exoneration in the lessons Obama has taken from the job, as if he had little hand in Washington's obstinacy and all the scheming political operatives are on the other side.
Republicans largely blame wrong-headed presidential policies and unyielding tactics. And some in the president's own party wonder whether his new, tougher rhetoric truly will result in firmer stands.
"He hasn't changed nearly as much as either Democrats or Republicans wish," says Calvin Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University.
The public, for its part, has revised its own assessment of Obama over the past four years.
Polls show the president is still regarded as a good communicator, friendly, well-informed, caring, trustworthy. But there's been a significant slide in the share who see him as a strong leader and as someone who can get things done.
Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center thinks Obama's numbers on that count are due to rebound somewhat, given recent improvement in his approval ratings. His approval numbers are back in the mid-50s after dipping into the 40s at times in 2011 and 2012. But they're still nowhere near the 60s and 70s of his first few months in office.
The president himself came out of his re-election victory convinced he has a stronger hand, and eager to use it before power inevitably ebbs later in his second term. He says he won't negotiate with Republicans on raising the debt limit. He's used his executive powers to act unilaterally to try to reduce gun violence.
That emboldened re-election outlook is coupled with a determination to stay above the day-to-day fighting and to keep the public with him.
In announcing a package of proposals this week to reduce gun violence, the president did what he could on his own, but also acknowledged that the most important provisions require congressional approval, and said it would take a demanding public to make that happen.
"His audience has become much more the American people than the people who live within the confines of Washington," says former Obama spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki.
The Brookings Institution's William Galston, who served in the Clinton White House, says Obama seems to have concluded that "getting into the weeds is a mistake."
The way he handled the latest negotiations over taxes "might be seen as a new paradigm," Galston says. "The president is not spending a lot of time with his sleeves rolled up, face to face with people who disagree with him."
Nor is he making as many promises. After making more than 500 specific promises in his first campaign — more of them kept than broken — the president served up far fewer re-election pledges and has displayed a more measured view of what's possible.
He's a "happy warrior" the president says of himself, but he also admits to disappointment that he hasn't gotten more cooperation from Congress.
Some liberals who complained that the president wasn't tough enough in the first term look at his recent decision to give more ground than expected in extending Bush-era tax cuts to some wealthier Americans and wonder if he's really stiffened his spine for term two.
"The guy can't seem to help himself," says Norman Solomon, an activist on the left. "He swears off caving in like some people swear off smoking, and the next day you see another lethal product in his mouth."
The president's renewed determination to leverage public support appears to be coupled with a willingness by the no-drama president to show more emotion when matters of public policy are also personal to him.
Hours after the massacre of 20 children in Newtown, Conn., a tearful Obama showed raw grief in his first comments on the attack. His temper flared after Republicans criticized U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice over the deaths of four Americans during an attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya, insisting her critics "should go after me" instead.
There's been less drama, though, within the president's staff. Former aides who describe the early years of his presidency as marked by personnel disagreements and internal strife say that dynamic has given way to a more cohesive Obama team with time.
There's been recent concern that the president's early choices for his second-term Cabinet and top advisers are less diverse than past personnel picks, and that he and his team are too insular. Give it time, saysObama, insisting he'll build a well-rounded team.

Terrifying, hilarious, implausible, believable, erudite, slapstick, economic, dystopian, caustic, warm, heroic.
Thought-provoking and original. Also kind of scary in these uncertain times - it made me think of how my family would fare in an economic crisis. This book is not perfect, but it certainly offers a new perspective on what could happen to our country.
Interesting that many of the objections listed below seem to be politically based. The book is not a political screed, it merely posits one possible scenario for America in the future. Lighten up, folks!
The future 2027 financial scenario that unfolds in this book is plausible: the collapse of the US economy due to its gigantic national debt leads to a lack of confidence in the US dollar by other countries and by its main debtor (China). But I don't think the meek submission of US citizens to confiscation of their assets rings true. The story relies on societal apathy caused by prolonged liberal "nanny state" policies of entitlements that lead to a slow slide into lethargy and denial of reality, similar to the proverbial frog in a pot of water that is slowly heated to boiling. That said, the book certainly drives home the fragility of paper and electronic "wealth" on which our economies are based compared to hard assets like food, fuel, land, and even useful skills. There is humour in the book and it's quite clever in imagining new words to reflect what's happening in society 10 years hence like "boomerpoops" for the long-lived baby boomers sucking back Social Security and delaying inheritance to their frustrated descendants. Although the scenario painted is extreme and the characters are given to speechifying, the book makes you think about the world in a different light and is definitely worth a read. If you're a knowledge worker you may want to brush up on your survival skills!
Interesting and thought provoking. At times a bit
preachy, but generally well written. ( Too bad some
some people didn't bother to finish it before posting
scathing reviews). It is definitely worth a look.
Very disappointing. Having really liked several of her books, "We Need to Talk about Kevin", "The Post Birthday World", "So Much For That", and more, this book was a real let down. The writing and story telling are reminiscent of her early work "Checker and the Derailleurs" which was not that good. Boring characters who have boring conversations. I read just over 100 pages of this newest work and moved onto something else. I hope her next book will be back to the style of "Big Brother" or "Game Control". both of these books made the reader confront some not very nice opinions and beliefs within ourselves that we are not too proud of but, damn, there they are!
I can't believe this book is getting so many recommendations - New York Times?! - without mentioning that it is a full on libertarian screed. Big bad government, xenophobia and the gold standard all wrapped up in a dystopian future. She tells a good tale, but it wasn't a good read because of all the proselytizing. (SPOILER ALERT) I have to admit the part about the wall being built by the Mexicans to keep Americans OUT was pretty funny. Thank god I didn't actually pay for this book - I love the SPL!
Creative, inventive, sometimes bitingly satirical, though the economic theorizing gets a little tiresome.
Well, at least it's well-written! Although the so-called economic theory which the author espouses gets a little tedious after its umpteenth iteration. Libertarians and deficit hawks should be happy, if they read this, that is.
Spoiler alert: Shriver can write, but this novel, while engaging, is a dyspeptic, right-wing rant. It took me a full 24 hours after completing the book to realize Shriver's 'utopia' - where her survivors end up - is a libertarian fantasy world. No regulation, no social safety net, no health care... and a flat tax! Wow, we can all live out our dreams, unfettered by the jackboot of government on our necks! And even better, no more 'affectations;, like eating disorders, ADHD, or gluten intolerance! The polemic overwhelms any attempt at a credible story, and the characters speak in lectures much of the time. One spoiled, privileged 17 year old swings from whining about not getting to go to college to prostitution without batting a false eyelash. and 2/3rds of the book passes - set in NYC, after societal collapse - before a handgun is mentioned. Right.
And far, far to the right is clearly where Shriver thinks salvation lies. Nice to see Ayn Rand-style delusional thinking is alive and well.

Last week, there was a report that the Ravens were interested in bringing tackle Bryant McKinnie back for another season.
The feeling appears to be mutual. McKinnie's agent Michael George told Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun that McKinnie, who stepped in to do a good job at left tackle in the playoffs after spending the regular season on the bench, would be interested in returning to help the team defend their crown.
"Bryant would want to come back," George said. "He likes it there. He likes the situation, the way it is now. He's a free agent, so it's up to the Ravens what happens next obviously. The intention is to see what the market says. If the Ravens want to do something, we're definitely open to that. Obviously, it has to be right numbers for both sides."
George said he expects a lot of demand for McKinnie's services when free agency opens, a big change from the way it looked like things would play out when McKinnie was out of shape and taking a pay cut to remain with the Ravens at the start of the season. His conditioning has been a frequent concern over the years, but it shouldn't cost him too much in free agency as long as he's willing to accept the desire of teams to protect themselves financially against his failure to report in good condition.

11.18.09 New study finds phthalates affects the way young boys play
This week, experts are raising another red flag about plastics. A new study suggests pregnant women exposed to higher levels of two types of phthalates had sons with "less masculine" play behaviors, the Los Angeles Times reports. The study, published in the International Journal of Andrology, examined diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which are used in soaps, cosmetics, air fresheners, food processing, medical tubing and many household objects, Time magazine also reports.
University of Rochester researchers found that DEHP and DBP can disrupt hormones. The chemicals affect the baby's developing brain by deactivating testosterone, the male sex hormone. The plastics and manufacturing industries insist the chemicals are safe.
Researchers found women exposed to higher levels of DEHP and DBP during their pregnancies had sons during the ages of 4 to 7 who were less likely to play with guns, trains, cars and other "male typical" toys. The same group of boys was also less likely to play "rough and tumble" games. The findings found no impact on girls.
Although other research has shown that phthalates may be partly responsible for lower sperm counts in men over several decades, genital defects and metabolic abnormalities in babies, this is the first study to link kids' behavior to hormone-mimicking chemicals.
The last thing a new mom wants to do is add another worry to her already-long list, but we think this one is worth noting because nothing is more important than your little one's health. Become a label sleuth when it comes to the products you put on you and your baby's skin. Here's our list of the "Toxic 10" to avoid, and try to use eco-friendly products wherever and whenever you can.

So do you want to know where I keep an ear to the ground when it comes to link building techniques? There are a few great sections from all our favorite forums that offer a place to discuss link building in depth. I've noticed a lot of repeat questions being asked these days so you have to keep an eye out in order to spot the goods.
v7n Forums offer a great place for friendly chat with knowledgable individuals and companies. Their forums are just shy of 50,000 wdebmasters so there is no shortage of discussions taking place throughout the day. The places I keep fresh on are a few different sections starting with the "SEO Forum", and then I mosey into the "Blogging Promotion" section. Another thing I keep in mind is to see what link building services people are offering which every once in a while brings a new method to my attention.
The Digital Point Forums has a specific forum section called "Link Development" which is entirely dedicated to building links. Again lately there has been a lack of new methods being disclosed so its best to look at the most viewed posts in that section. The users that lurk inside Digital Point are very friendly and you can always count on someone helping you out.
My favorite link building forum spot is over at High Rankings Forum where they have a whole link building section with broken down subcategories. There are so many web 2.0 social sites coming out these days so when I find one we can use, I usually talk about it in here.

We were in great spirits this morning, largely because we had.
Pete sniffed out some coffee and drank it while we all struggled to stuff the pile of food we'd bought (at village prices!) into our incredible shrinking packs. We stuffed and ate and stuffed and ate, and when there was no possible way to squeeze more food onto bikes or into bodies there was still a pile of food left in the room.
We rolled out into drizzle, and for the few minutes it took us to find our way past the airstrip and down to the beach that was fine. But the grayness of the day, closeness of the clouds, and back-to-wetness of our clothes seemed to bring the mood right back down. There was chatter as we rolled along, but not much.
I can't speak for anyone but myself but my thoughts were heading in the direction of 'this is gonna be miserable if we don't get a dry day soon'. I knew better than to hope for sun, I just wanted a little less rain. A tall order out here.
Wheel geeks can argue brass vs. alloy nips all they want in these conditions. I say use what's cheapest and/or most plentiful on your shelves. You'll be cutting them out shortly regardless.
The mood seemed to lighten a bit as we reached that indeterminate distance from town--past the point where it seems you could easily turn around and head back. Commitment has a way of removing inconsequential variables from the equation. But still it rained.
And then a funny thing happened. Pete has a history of finding some of the, um, oddest items when out riding. I'll not list the highlights here--those are his stories to tell. But today he found this just laying on the sand:
Maybe 2, 3 minutes later the rain stopped and the skies brightened. Condom as omen? It happened just (snap!) *like that*.
The wet sand was fast, the breeze was light, and the sky was suddenly tearing itself apart to reveal (wait for it)...
Bam! Spirits rose almost as fast as the pace. What started glum was turning into a brilliant day--how could we ask for more?
We didn't have to--Brian offered. Homemade cookie dough. BAM!
Just like that the vibe was reset to buzz.
We even pulled over and stopped for a hot lunch--largely (it seemed) to lighten our packs of some food weight. No one was going hungry on this stretch.
Note both wolf and bear tracks in the sand beyond Pete.
Pete checked the maps and announced our longest water crossing of the day was likely less than 5 minutes. There was much rejoicing.
...went the sound of EVERYTHING as we approached the Bear River. Not one, not a handful, but a pile of coastal browns were congregated here to fish. A couple of larger males snacked on their catch across the river on a wide spit. A sow and two awkward cubs seemed agitated at something (guess what) and continually approached and retreated. Then a subadult and a bigger male came over the dune line not far away. The sub saw us and fled at a dead run, really stretching it out to put distance between us. But the boar did not--he angled past us and ambled over to the agitated sow as if to apologize for nappin' on the job.
We threw out suggestions on how to cross the river yet stay safe and mobile all the while. No plan seemed sound--there were just too many bears, in too many places, to feel comfortable with the ~10 stationary minutes it would take to unpack, rig boats, cross, then pack up. We considered heading inland but there were bears there too--some sleeping, some ambling, others distant but approaching. Breakers were much too big to punch out and paddle past. In a word, it was tense. There was no clear 'right action' to take.
We kept edging closer to the river, hoping for an advantageous realignment of circumstances, but none came. The agitated sow was every bit as testy, and getting braver about ambling close before wheeling to shoo her cubs back.
I slapped my forehead when I realized our oversight: We'd edged our way to the river hoping to cross, but where we stood was the last bend with current before the river met the breakers. Translation: Salmon. We were standing on the most coveted fishing spot. Once we realized our error we edged away, up onto a dune for better 360* visibility, then slowly worked up the river's edge, stopping to scan the perimeter constantly. Point man Brian would take a few steps, we'd shuffle behind, then we'd all stop and stare, gauging the reaction of any bear in sight. At first there wasn't much to go on, but as we got further from the catbird spot several bears visibly relaxed--laying back down to eat on their catch. The agitated sow waddled into the water--precisely where we'd been standing--and began scrambling after fish to feed her cubs.
When collectively we felt as though the situation had stabilized, the guys scrambled down the bank and began hurriedly inflating boats. I stood sentry on the dune, able to keep tabs on ~10 bears that weren't visible from water level. Once Dave was across and could see a wide sweep of real estate, I shuffled down and hurriedly blew up my boat, then motored to the other side to repack.
There were several more streams to cross throughout the afternoon, with plenty of ursine company at each, but none approached the scene at the Bear River.
Brian's 'magic gear' ran out of pixie dust, so he stopped to install a tensioner.
Can't take a break without plowing down more food while enjoying the world beneath your feet.
In a pointed departure from our habits of the previous few nights, we called it a day and set up camp with the sun still high in the sky. Back to vacation mode.
(^^^Note the well defined bear trail running along the left edge of the frame.)
This guy was positively manic bebopping around these blossoms, until passing out (as pictured) with what seemed like a sugar crash. Amped. Then, faceplant, and out.
Dave seemed to be enjoying all aspects of the trip, but he positively came alive when it was time for campcraft. Give the man a task (here, lining the tent with dry grasses) and he'd just go to work until the job was done, then look for something else, tackle that, and on, and on, and on.
Dave shown here, 'malleting'. No cause for alarm, just stay out of his way.
And fire? Well, anyone can cobble something together that burns, but it wasn't done right (really) until Dave had put things in order.
And then we unwound into the evening. Cooked and ate. Did dishes and relaxed. Collected more wood while the light persisted--we were far too buzzed from a 5-star day to dream of sleeping yet.
First Pete faded, then Brian wandered off to bed. Dave and I fed the fire late into the night talking, solving the problems of the worlds we knew. That done we talked of family at home, plans for how we'd spend time with them upon returning. Then it was early morning and still we kept at it, plotting out future adventures with bikes and boats--the way you do when all is well on the current trip. Then it was after 3 and Dave seemed to be just getting going. I bade him goodnight and could hear him rambling around and feeding the fire--sticks breaking, embers popping--every time I shifted in the night. I doubt he slept, and I can't say I blame him: I didn't want the day to end either.

Apparently this was recorded in April 1988, which was about the time Gene won the audition but before he joined the orchestra (he had to finish the season in St. Louis according to his TubaPeopleTV interview). According to Song and Wind, Mr. Jacobs only played on the recording of the 6th Symphony with Abbado.
So, who is playing on the 4th, and if known, the rest of this Tchaikovsky cycle?
Thanks in advance.

Portuguese Involvement with the European Southern Observatory
Portugal joined the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in June 2000 and the membership was ratified by the Portuguese Parliament in May 2001.
Portugal currently contributes 1.2% of ESO's annual revenue, totalling 1 965 000 EUR.
Contracts totally about 1.4 million euro have been awarded to Portuguese industry since it joined the organisation. This does not include Portuguese companies that may have acted as sub-contractors when the prime contractors were in a different country. With the subcontracted companies in Portugal contracts totalling about 4.3 million euro have been placed.
Discoveries by Portuguese astronomers using ESO telescopes
A team led by David Sobral (Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço, Universidade de Lisboa) used the VLT to discover the brightest galaxy yet found from the early Universe (eso1524).
Jorge Martins (Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço and Universidade do Porto) lead the team who first measured the reflected visible light from the famous exoplanet 51 Pegasi b; they used the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory. eso1517
Hugo Messias (Centro de Astronomia e Astrofísica da Universidade de Lisboa) was the leader of the group who published the best observations to date of a collision between two galaxies, that took place when the Universe was only half its current age. They used ALMA and other telescopes. eso1426
Michael Bazot (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade de Porto), contributed to the identification and study of star HIP 102152 as the oldest solar twin known to date. eso1337
Xavier Dumusque (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto) lead the team which discovered an Earth-mass planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B, in the nearest star system to Earth. eso1241
Nuno Santos and Vasco Neves (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto) are members of the team which estimated that rocky planets not much larger than the Earth are very common in the habitable zones around red dwarf stars; they estimate that there are tens of billions of such planets in the Milky Way. eso1214
N. C. Santos (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto, Portugal and Departamento de Física de Astronomia, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto, Portugal), contributed to the discovery of 50 new exoplanets with HARPS. eso1134
N. C. Santos (Universidade do Porto, Portugal), A. Correia (Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal) contributed to the discovery of the richest planetary system to date: the sun-like star HD 10180 has at least 5 planets, with evidences of 2 additional ones. eso1035
A. Amorim, J. Lima, F. D. Santos, and A. Moitinho (SIM-IDL, University of Lisbon, Portugal), R. Marques and J. Pinhão (University of Coimbra, Portugal), and J. Rebordão (INETI, Amadora, Portugal) contributed to a study of the giant galaxy Centaurus A, which reveals it has recently captured and digested a smaller spiral galaxy. eso0944
Nuno Santos and Sergio Sousa (Centro de Astrofisica, Universidade de Porto, Portugal) contributed to a census of 500 stars, 70 of which are known to host planets. This census, performed with HARPS, suggests that planet-hosting stars would have destroyed their lithium more efficiently than planet-free stars. eso0942
Michaël Bazot (University of Porto, Portugal) and a team of astronomer realized that the star iota Horlogii have drifted away from the Hyades cluster. This discovery has implications on the theories of star and planet formation, as well as for the dynamics of our Milky Way. eso0809
Xavier Bonfils (Lisbon Observatory) contributed to the discovery of the first earth-like planet in the habitable zone of another star. This super-earth is only 5 times the mas off the Earth, and orbit a red dwarf star, already known to harbour a Neptune-mass planet. eso0722
Nuria Huelamo (ESO and University of Lisboa) contributed to the discovery that objects only a few times more massive than Jupiter are born with discs of dust and gas, i.e. the raw material for making planets. This suggests that miniature versions of the solar system may circle objects that are some 100 times less massive than our sun. eso0619
Nuno C. Santos (Observatoire de l'Université de Genève, Switzerland, Centro de Astronomia e Astrofisica da Universidade de Lisboa and Centro de Geofisica de Evora, Portugal), Alexandre C. M. Correia (Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal), contributed to the discovery and study of an exo-planetary system composed of three Neptune-mass planets, using HARPS. It also appears that the planetary system contains an asteroid belt. eso0618
Nuno Santos, of the Lisbon Astronomical Observatory, contributed to accurately determine the radius and mass of the smallest core-burning star known until now. The star is 96 times heavier than planet Jupiter but only 16% larger. It is the first time that direct observations demonstrate that stars less massive than 1/10th of the solar mass are of nearly the same size as giant planets. eso0507
Nuno Santos, of the Lisbon Astronomical Observatory, contributed to the discovery of the smallest ever extra-solar planet, using HARPS. The planet has only 14 times the mass of the Earth. eso0427
Nuno Santos, of the Lisbon Astronomical Observatory, contributed to the discovery and study of two extra-solar planets.. They belong to the OGLE transit candidate objects and could be characterized in detail. These were the 2d and 3rd exoplanets discovered using that method. eso0415
ISAAC dataset on Orion's Trapezium - The data also form part of the collaborative research being undertaken by the European Commission-sponsored Research Training Network on "The Formation and Evolution of Young Star Clusters" (RTN1-1999-00436), led by the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam, and including the Arcetri Observatory in Florence (Italy), the University of Cambridge (UK), the University of Cardiff (UK), the University of Grenoble (France), the University of Lisbon (Portugal) and the CEA Saclay (France). eso0104

Technology: Regulatory Guidance for Digital Advertising Disclosures
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently released its updated guidance for online advertising disclosures titled .com Disclosures: How to Make Effective Disclosures in Digital Advertising (the "2013 Guide"). The prior version of this guidance was issued in May 2000 (before Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other platforms existed). The 2013 Guide provides instruction and examples with regard to how the established rules apply to disclosures in advertisements on social media platforms or on devices with varying screen sizes and functionality, such as banners and Tweets (referred to in the 2013 Guide as "space-constrained ads").
As discussed in our first column—advertising claims, whether express or implied and regardless of whether in a newspaper, on television or online—must be truthful and not misleading, substantiated and fair. The same holds true in the social media context. When a disclosure is necessary to limit an advertising claim or avoid a misleading understanding of an advertising claim, that disclosure must be clear and conspicuous. Whether a disclosure is clear and conspicuous "is measured by its performance—that is, how consumers actually perceive and understand the disclosure within the context of the entire ad." The 2013 Guide reinforces the concept that "[t]he key is the overall net impression of the ad—that is, whether the claims consumers take from the ad are truthful and substantiated," viewed under the "reasonable consumer" standard.
The 2013 Guide highlights the factors to be evaluated when considering online disclosures, including (i) the placement and prominence of the disclosure; (ii) whether the disclosure is unavoidable; (iii) whether it addresses concerns about consumer distraction; (iv) whether the disclosure should or must be repeated; (v) whether the language used in the disclosure is understandable to the targeted audience; and (vi) other specific issues pertaining to audio and video advertisements (think YouTube and, soon, Facebook television-style commercials).
Having an appreciation for the medium through which consumers will view advertisements, the 2013 Guide explains, with regard to placement and prominence, that when scrolling is required to identify a disclosure, advertisers "should use text or visual cues to encourage consumers to scroll and avoid formats that discourage scrolling." Unspecific text or visual cues such as "details below," scrolling and navigation bars on the side of the page, and unrelated visual clutter may, according to the 2013 Guide, make a disclosure insufficient. One way to help avoid these problems is to optimize the page for use on a mobile device so that a consumer can more easily identify a required disclosure on a smaller screen with different functionality. It is also important to place the disclosure in a location where it is unavoidable in those instances where a consumer is called to complete a transaction.
Recognizing that there may be circumstances where a full disclosure cannot be made on a "space-constrained ad," the 2013 Guide provides instruction (and caution) regarding the use of hyperlinks. Hyperlinking to a disclosure may be acceptable, but only where the disclosure itself is not "integral" or "inseparable" from the advertised claim. According to the 2013 Guide, the most important considerations for evaluating the effectiveness of using a hyperlink to a disclosure are (i) the label or description of the hyperlink (although the hyperlink itself does not have to include the complete disclosure, make the hyperlink conspicuous and obvious); (ii) whether the hyperlink style used in the advertisement is consistent (is the hyperlink style for the disclosure different from other hyperlinks on the page, thereby increasing the possibility that a consumer will miss the hyperlink to the disclosure); (iii) whether the "placement and prominence" of the hyperlink will enable a consumer to appreciate the importance of following the link (is the hyperlink proximate to the claim requiring the disclosure); and (iv) whether clicking through the hyperlink takes the consumer to an adequate disclosure.
The 2013 Guide also makes clear that advertisers should consider other factors that could inhibit effective disclosures, such as using pop-ups for disclosures and variations in the way that disclosures appear in different browsers and on varying types of devices.
Understanding that "space-constrained ads" generally are teasers which link to the actual offer, the 2013 Guide states that "[i]f a space-constrained ad contains a claim that requires qualification, the advertiser disseminating it is not exempt from disclosure requirements," and the advertiser should "disclose required information in the space-constrained ad itself or clearly and conspicuously on the website to which it links." The more difficult analysis is making the call as to whether the disclosure needs to be included in the "space-constrained ads" or in the linked page.
In determining whether the disclosure should be placed in the space-constrained ad itself or on the website to which the ad links, advertisers should consider how important the information is to prevent deception, how much information needs to be disclosed, the burden of disclosing it in the ad itself, how much information the consumer may absorb from the ad, and how effective the disclosure would be if it were made on the website.
Where this analysis leads to the conclusion that the disclosure should be in the advertisement itself, but the appropriate disclosure does not fit in the "space-constrained ad," the 2013 Guide provides that "the ad should be modified so it does not require such a disclosure or, if that is not possible, that space-constrained ad should not be used." If an advertiser cannot modify the advertisement or make a required disclosure in a particular platform, that platform should not be used to disseminate the advertisement.
Placement and proximity, font and style, user experience, distractions and visual clutter – it all counts when making required disclosures in online advertising through social media and other "space-constrained ad" platforms. Keep in mind the consumer's "overall net impression" of the advertisement, reference the 2013 Guide and its examples when embarking on a digital creative strategy, and be careful when using hyperlinks for disclosures.

Mung Beans Recipes
Xoi Vo Recipe (Coconut Sticky Rice with Mung Beans)
First of all, chúc mừng năm mới (Happy New Year of the Horse!). A new, fabulous year is beginning, and to celebrate, I started the day very early this morning wrapping and rolling a lot of vegetarian eggrolls to ring in the New Year! I also prepared xôi vò, which is a popular Vietnamese snack consisting of coconut milk sticky rice and mung beans. Cậu Hoà (my uncle) is going to be stopping by today and I plan on serving this to him with green tea. It's his favorite.
Xôi vò is a very simple, easy snack to prepare. Simply soak mung beans (hulled and split yellow beans) and sticky rice separately ahead of time, then cook and steam the pandan-scented rice, coconut milk and a sprinkle of sugar. That's it. If you're Asian, you know how lightly sweetened Asian desserts are. If you're like my husband, "lightly sweet" is an understatement and you probably won't call this a dessert. Again, I guess it's a cultural thing. If you're tasting xôi vò for the first time, consider it a nutritious, fragrant snack with a light hint of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with tea.

Pomegranate Acai Milkshake Recipe
This pomegranate acai drink is one of the many I make for breakfast after my morning workouts. I'm no nutritionist, but this drink works for me. It's filled with "superfoods". During the winter we almost always have freshly pressed pomegranate juice (here's why) in the refrigerator. To this fruit juice, I blended in some bananas, pure acai juice and mung beans for extra protein.
It's delicious, plus it keeps me energetic and full until lunch time. Check out my other protein drinks; every day I blend a few ingredients, alternating between fresh fruits and vegetables, various kinds of milk and other sources of protein such as whey or soy protein.

Roasted Bell Pepper Soup Recipe
Since we arrived in Paris, my husband Lulu and I have taken the opportunity to have romantic getaways in Europe and leave baby Aria with my parents. My parents are thrilled to get to have time alone with their granddaughter, and thankfully, so is Aria. As the crazy mom that I am, I've left a long list of instructions for my mom to ensure the happy well-being of my baby girl, and that includes what she eats. Ever since Aria started eating solid food, I've managed to feed her only homemade baby food. I use the term baby food loosely, since I only feed Aria food that I would also eat.
I've taught Maman one of Aria's favorite soups: roasted bell pepper soup. It's a healthy blend of lentils, brown rice and roasted bell peppers. When Lulu and I came home, there was still some soup left, so we all ate it as a first course. I garnished it with sweet basil and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. It's fantastic!
Full Recipe...
Creme de Betterave (Cold Beet Soup Recipe)
We just picked our last large batch of beets from the garden. I steamed the candy striped beets, red beets and golden beets and blended them with a mixture of bean and rice porridge (I used mung beans). I've started introducing new foods to my 9-month old baby Aria, and the natural sweetness from the beets works well for infants.
It's pretty nutritious and filling for adults too, so I served the same dish for the family dinner but with a twist. I added pistachio paste for extra flavor and coarsely crushed pistachios for crunch. And for the dinner presentation, I topped the thick soup with goat cheese-infused cream. Who said "baby" food can't be delicious?
There are still a few more days to enter the giveaway and maybe win a Teflon BBQ grill pan. All you need to do is enter your email address. I'll pick a winner on Monday, August 13th at 12AM. It's very easy to participate. Also make sure you're a fan of PhamFatale Facebook fan page and Teflon, or follow @phamfatalecom and @TeflonBrand and tweet about this giveaway. To make it easy, you can just copy and paste this tweet if you'd like: "The #giveaway is live! Enter to #win a BBQ grill pan from @phamfatalecom! What's your favorite meal to #grill?: http://bit.ly/MvWiVG" Good luck everyone!

Natural Protein Shake Recipe (Smoothie)
This drink is made with mango purée, orange juice and a banana. The banana gives a smooth texture to the drink; cooked mung beans add protein and tie the flavors together.
I've read that eating breakfast is one of the keys to successfully losing weight. Since I've been waking up at the wee hours of the morning to work out for 45 minutes before starting the day, I want to stack the deck in my favor. A protein shake is the perfect choice for me because I'm not very big on breakfast (unless it's crêpes!).

Karl Giberson, director of Gordon College's Forum on Faith and Science, Stephen C. Meyer, director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, and Marcus Ross, a professor of geology at Liberty University suggest the best ways the intelligent design movement can gain academic credibility.
Find a Fertile Idea
Karl Giberson, director of Gordon College's Forum on Faith and Science
Leaders of the intelligent design (ID) movement—William Dembski, Stephen C. Meyer, Michael Behe, Paul Nelson, Jonathan Wells—write mainly for popular audiences and have a negligible presence—as ID theorists—in scientific literature.
To get credibility in the academy, these theorists need to engage the academy by publishing in its journals and attending its meetings. But first they need a fertile idea—one that generates new scientific knowledge.
ID's central thesis—that biological systems show scientific evidence of intelligent design—has not developed to the point where it can make specific predictions that lead to new knowledge. At the end of the 18th century, William Paley wrote about how the intricate mechanics of a watch provide evidence of a designer. Two centuries later, Behe is making the same argument about the flagellum of the bacterium.
If ID proponents want to update Paley's arguments for the 21st century, they need to show how their version is more fertile. Paley-era biologists—many of them Christians—did not abandon Paley because his design arguments were refuted; they weren't. They moved on because his ideas were sterile. Good scientific ideas, like atomic theory, gravity, quarks, and genetics, are rich. Such ideas are like bags of popcorn in the microwave, exploding with ...1

Here's what's up in the world of TV for Friday, August 10, and Saturday, August 11. All times are Eastern.
Gravity Falls (Disney Channel, 9 p.m., Friday): Back when Alasdair Wilkins reviewed the premiére of this new, weirdly charming Disney Channel series, he never dreamed that it would so rapidly become a show he looked forward to as much as he did. And then bunches and bunches of you kept insisting we needed to check it out all over again. So Alasdair is back at it, with an episode in which Dipper clones himself to impress Wendy. If we had a nickel for every time we'd cloned ourselves to impress a girl, we'd definitely have four nickels.
The 2012 Summer Olympics (NBC, 8 p.m., Friday/Saturday): It might be hard to believe, but the 2012 Summer games are just about over. All that's left is pretty much the culmination of a bunch of events, including track and field. Cory Casciato and Dennis Perkins bring us into the homestretch. Go, team!
Lost Girl (Syfy, 10 p.m., Friday): Every time we type this show's title on this sticky keyboard, we inevitably leave out the letter "R," which leaves us with "Lost Gil," which sounds like an altogether different show, perhaps about a certain desperate salesman? Kevin McFarland would watch for sure.
Babylon 5 (11 a.m., Friday): It's been a long, rough road to this point, but Rowan Kaiser swears this series starts to kick into gear now that we've reached its first, big two-parter. We don't know what happens in it, but we have to assume that some shit will go down, and it will be super epic.
Chappelle's Show (3 p.m., Friday): One of this week's episodes offers up "one of the most disturbing puppet-based pieces of comedy in modern times" in Ryan McGee's estimation. We would take issue, as he clearly hasn't seen our Puppet Goatse production, every first Friday of the month at the Wiltern.
Animaniacs (11 a.m., Saturday): The Warners head to the Garden of Eden and try to switch up the entirety of human history by keeping Adam and Eve from eating that fruit. Genevieve Koski thinks if old myths and legends were literally true, it would make time travel movies that much more interesting.
The X-Files/Millennium (1 p.m., Saturday): Zack Handlen checks out an unsung classic episode, with Scully hanging out with a photographer who's attempting to capture death on film. Wondering why it's a classic? Look no further than the involvement of its writer, a young Mr. Vince Gilligan.
Unusual Suspects (Discovery, 8 p.m., Friday): The new season technically begins at 9, but Discovery is going to precede it with an episode—also listed as new—about the "Texas Bathtub Killer." We don't know precisely what he did, but we're guessing from the words "bathtub killer" it was pretty low.
Great Performances (PBS, 9 p.m., Friday): A whole host of great performers gather together to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Tanglewood Musical Festival in Massachusetts. If you've got a "celebrating something that's 75 years old" sized hole in your evening, this might be just the thing.
Comedy Bang! Bang! (IFC, 10 p.m., Friday): We've enjoyed this weird spin on talk shows most of the way through, and we're hoping it can somehow get a second season. Erik Adams takes a look at the season finale, then makes several prayers to the TV gods that this isn't the end of the series.
Common Law (USA, 10 p.m., Friday): We'll admit to having mostly checked out of this one after we weren't that fond of the premiére. But maybe you hung in there and want to tell us that it got really good, and we're missing out! Anyway, the season finale is tonight. Convince us that we should watch.
NYC 22 (CBS, 8 p.m., Saturday): We'll bet you didn't even notice that CBS was burning off the episodes of this misbegotten cop show—one of the few outright flops in the network's recent history—on Saturday nights, often against the Olympics, acting like if it hid them away there, you'd never notice.
Tanked (Animal Planet, 9 p.m., Saturday): Meanwhile, we know how much you guys just love shows about people who construct giant fish tanks, so we're pleased to let you know this show is back for a third season. Presumably, even more elaborate fish tanks will be installed in even more gigantic homes.
Double Jeopardy (TNT, 8 p.m., Friday): You were probably trying to actively forget when this preposterous Ashley Judd vehicle/bit of hokum was briefly the most-talked-about movie in America, before we all realized there really was no way to get out of jail free when trying to kill your husband.
Hondo (AMC, 8 p.m., Friday): Need a way to entertain yourself right now? Try saying "HONDOOOOO!" in your best ultra-masculine voice, wherever you're sitting. You can try on a John Wayne accent for fun. Your co-workers and/or your cat will surely find you that much more awesome when you're done.
Blue Velvet (Sundance, 8 p.m., Saturday): It's been a while since we've seen this one, but many of its finest moments and sequences are seared so indelibly on our brains that we don't really need to see it again. But we'll probably still fall into watching it when it airs. After all… Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!
Little League Baseball (ESPN, 7 p.m., Friday): If your only desire is to watch the dreams of children be horribly crushed this evening, perhaps because your own dreams have been crushed, and you need to assuage that bitterness, then ESPN has a full evening of watching kids let each other down just for you.
UFC 150 Prelims: From Denver (FX, 8 p.m., Saturday): Meanwhile, FX has just the ticket if what you really want to watch is some dudes kicking each other in the face. Maybe that'll be just the pick-me-up you'll need after all those weeping children. It probably will be. You sadist. Why do we even talk to you?
Suits (Thursday): Carrie Raisler straps in for a flashback episode, because who doesn't like a good flashback episode. This weekend, we'll be doing TV Club flashback, in which the only things we'll cover will be Tell Me You Love Me and the third season of How I Met Your Mother. Enjoy!

Parliament debates treatment laws for mentally ill
The killings of Nick and Chloe Waterlow at the hands of a mentally ill family member who had refused treatment have sparked a parliamentary inquiry into the adequacy of the state's psychiatric laws.
Anthony Waterlow was found not guilty of the murder of his father, a prominent Sydney curator and arts educator, and sister on the grounds of mental illness, after stabbing them both during a psychotic episode in 2009.
Mr Waterlow had refused treatment and was not taking antipsychotic medication at the time, despite years of sickness.
Labor MLC Linda Voltz told State Parliament yesterday that Mr Waterlow was now medicated and only now aware of the "awful realities" of what he had done.
" 'I am terribly shattered by what I have done. I miss my family incredibly. I'm so, so sorry and I will be for the rest of my life,' " she quoted Mr Waterlow as saying.
In light of this and similar cases, Ms Voltz said, an inquiry should examine whether the current guidelines around when a doctor can intervene and require a patient to undergo treament should be changed, particularly in cases in which patients' capacity to make decisions for themselves may be compromised.
"It is not accepted for patients who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's [to refuse treatment], yet for the mentally ill a whole different standard of capacity is applied," she said.
A transparent public inquiry was important before a change to the law, she said, given the "history of coercive treatment in this state has not been among our finest hour".
The inquiry, which was given unanimous support by the NSW upper house, will examine whether the state should "move to capacity-based, best-interest mental health legislation to ensure that treatment of people with mental illnesses is not restricted due to their decision-making incapacity".
Now in NSW, doctors can only intervene if they believe a patient is at risk of harm or of harming someone else.
The call for the inquiry was foreshadowed by a recent academic paper by three Australian psychiatrists who said the current laws played a role in the Waterlow killings.
"The current system ... involves doctors making a prediction that it is impossible to make," University of Sydney psychiatrist Dr Christopher Ryan told the Herald in July.
I am terribly shattered by what I have done. I miss my family incredibly. I'm so, so sorry and I will be for the rest of my life
"Mr Waterlow, he was seen by a number of psychiatrists, some of them very senior ... apparently they made the judgment he wasn't likely to harm himself or anybody else, and, frankly, he was sick for 10 years and he didn't - until right at the very end."
The Minister for Mental Health, Kevin Humphries, said a more general review of the Mental Health Act 2007 is also under way, with a discussion paper due in the coming weeks.
"Along with the establishment of the NSW Mental Health Commission, this review is yet another vital step forward in the NSW government's plan to improve mental health services and delivery for every person in the state," Mr Humphries said.

OAKLAND — The city is set to launch a first-of-its-kind municipal identification card that will double as a debit card to help residents both prove their identity and avoid expensive check-cashing outlets.
"We're very proud that we think we've taken a step that will make people safer and will give them more rights and more protections," Mayor Jean Quan said at a Friday ceremony.
Quan and former Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente first proposed the card four years ago to help assure undocumented residents that they wouldn't risk deportation by reporting crimes or coming forward to police as witnesses.
Quan also pressed for the cards to have the banking feature — an option not available on other cities' identification cards.
While the debit card component took years to figure out, city leaders hope that it will broaden the card's appeal among all residents — not just the undocumented — who don't qualify for bank cards.
Residents dependent solely on cash have been easy prey for robbers. "They even refer to them as walking ATMs," said Bianca Sierra, who directs Oakland's Centro Legal de la Raza.
The city of Richmond is creating a similar card and Los Angeles also is considering it, said Raul Hinojosa, a UCLA professor who runs SF Global, the company that will be running the card program for the city in conjunction with MasterCard and Minnesota-based University National Bank. Oakland is set to start pre-registering applicants for the card Monday. The first cards are expected to be delivered about March 15.
The cards will include the resident's name, address and date of birth. City officials acknowledged Friday the extra information could make it easier for crooks to defraud debit cardholders. The inclusion of an address and date of birth were required in the legislation approving the card, assistant city administrator Arturo Sanchez said.
Officials said debit card users would have standard protections including a PIN number and fraud security through MasterCard.
"All we're doing is giving people access to a MasterCard," Hinojosa said. "It's a relatively minor risk compared to living in a cash economy."
Residents can choose not to accept the debit feature. City leaders hope the card will be embraced by residents and that local businesses will offer special deals to cardholders.
Sergio Romano, an undocumented Oakland resident who already has a credit card, said he still looked forward to getting the municipal card. "It will make me feel more safe and more a part of the community," he said.
Oakland anticipates issuing about 6,000 cards this year.
The cards will cost $15. Those using the debit feature will pay a $2.99 monthly fee as well as a $1.50 ATM withdrawal fee, a 75 cent fee on purchases and a $1.75 fee for calling customer service. There will also be $2.95 fees to load money onto the card. The city is in the process signing up hundreds of businesses where cardholders will be able to transfer money onto the cards. The fees are still significantly less than those charged by check cashing outlets, Sanchez said.
To receive a card, applicants will have to show photo identification, plus proof of Oakland residency such as a bill addressed to their home.
Applications will be processed at 250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Suite 6301 and at the Spanish Citizens' Foundation, 1470 Fruitvale Ave. A third site is scheduled to open next month in East Oakland.

SAN JOSE — A 27-year-old man suspected of shooting his father multiple times at close range on Friday night has been charged with murder, according to court documents.
Police on Wednesday announced Andrew Zumini was arrested on suspicion of murder in the shooting death of his father, 46-year-old Anthony Zumini. Andrew Zumini made his first court appearance on Wednesday and was charged with murder with a firearm enhancement.
According to court documents, a witness told police that Andrew Zumini arrived at his father's apartment complex in the 900 block of Gilchrist Drive at about 9:40 p.m., got out of a vehicle and began firing at his dad. The witness said Anthony Zumini was hit by at least one bullet and fell to the ground.
At that point Andrew Zumini ran toward his dad, stood over his body and fired a number of times at close range, according to the court document. Anthony Zumini was shot at least 8 times and died at the scene.
Police were told Zumini and his dad had an ongoing personal dispute.
Police made an arrest Saturday in that case, the city's 35th homicide of the year.

I have been working with Silverlight 5 application for a while. I liked this technology and I was captivated to the point to get certified in Silverligt development.
However, Html5 gained momentum this point, a new wave of thinking about new applications. Now, i am considering whether to develop in Sl or html5. I have read thousands of post on the subject and can not find clear if there is any way to migrate an application to HTML5 SL, know if there is any tool to help the process?

Norwegian Breakaway Previewby Norwegian Cruise Line | 4.8.13
All of the Norwegian Breakaway news in one place conveniently compiled for our readers.
Norwegian Breakaway will have an extensive waterpark With the latest news that Norwegian Breakaway will be officially christened on May 8, 2013, in New York City Harbor by none other than the Rockettes of Radio City Music Hall, the picture of this grand new ship - the first all new ship design to appear in years - if finally becoming clear.
Not only will the Rockettes christen the ship, but the glorious gals of Broadway will also be showcased with a historical retrospective in the ship's library, exclusive fitness class designed by the Rockettes, featured beverages and more. On select sailings, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to meet two of the Rockettes. Sailing on the first six cruises from New York, as well as the first sailing of every month, two Rockettes will offer special fitness classes, photo opportunities, meet and greet speaker series and more.
And so we will soon have Norwegian Breakaway - positioned by the cruise line as "New York's ship" according the CEO Kevin Sheehan who grew up in the city. Cruises aboard the ship are already on sale though she is still under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, under wraps in what is one of the two largest buildings in Europe, so we have not yet had a chance to actually see her. But we do know she will be 144,000-gross tons and have 4000 passenger berths.
The Norwegian web site does have plenty of renderings and even a new set deck plans that were put online just last July after the recent announcement of the planned entertainment on board. One thing that makes her very unique is a close connection to the sea from an outdoor area is called "The Waterfront" along Deck Eight, actually one deck above the Promenade deck, where a number of restaurants have "al fresco" seating.
You can take a stroll outside along The Waterfront to gaze at the horizon on the sea. You can also get an unfettered "outside looking in" approach to people watching at a variety of restaurants and lounges. Some of restaurants with Waterfront access include the "Moderno Churrascaria" Brazilian grill, Cagney's Steakhouse and a new restaurant for Norwegian, "Ocean Blu" which will be designed and operated under the guidance of celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian.
Zakarian may not be a household name but he is certainly highly recognized in the culinary world, having already received a Michelin star for his New York-based restaurants, one named "Town" and the other named "Country."
After dining under the stars you can pay homage to another class of celestial bodies; rock stars. The new ship has the Broadway hit "Rock of Ages" as its entertainment focal point in the state-of-the-art Breakaway Theater. If so you see the unifying theme of New York City.
The ship will sail out of New York year round starting next May, sailing seven-day round trip cruises to Bermuda (starting April 30, 2013 through October 6th), followed by seven day cruises to the Bahamas and Port Canaveral Florida (giving New Yorkers an easy way to see Orlando) starting October 13, 2013, through April of 2014. Also included are two 12-day sailings to the Southern Caribbean calling at San Juan (Puerto Rico), St Thomas, St Martin, St Lucia, Barbados and St Kitts (sailing January 5th and January 19th, 2014). These two cruises are rotated with two-day cruises to nowhere on January 17 and the 31st.

BRISTOL, Tenn. - Brad Keselowski grabbed his first win of the season Sunday, holding off Matt Kenseth on a late restart to win at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Keselowski led a career-best and race-high 231 laps, but battled back and forth with Kenseth for the final third of the race. Kenseth beat him on an earlier restart, and Keselowski had to chase him down to reclaim the lead.
Then a late caution when Tony Stewart hit the wall put Keselowski's win in jeopardy.
"I've got no clue what to do here," he radioed his Penske Racing team.
Crew chief Paul Wolfe left him on the track, where he had to again deal with Kenseth on a restart with 17 laps remaining. Keselowski had no problems holding him off, choosing to restart on the outside, and he easily pulled away for the victory.
He even taunted Wolfe over the final two laps, asking the crew chief twice to admit he was nervous about the outcome.
Wolfe had nothing to worry about, as Keselowski cruised his Dodge to Victory Lane and immediately began taking pictures with his phone to post to Twitter.
"Matt didn't make it easy," Keselowski said. "That's his job, to not make it easy on me. He raced me hard; I raced him hard, rubbed a little bit. That's good racing."
Kenseth, the Daytona 500 winner, settled for second in a Roush Fenway Racing Ford and wasn't sure if Keselowski electing to restart on the outside was the difference.
"If I'd have been on the top, maybe I could have pinned him down there," Kenseth said. "But on old tires, I knew he was going to choose the top."
The three Toyotas from Michael Waltrip Racing capped an impressive day by rounding out the top five - a feat that marked a strong return to racing for Brian Vickers.
Martin Truex Jr. led the MWR contingent with a third-place finish and was followed by Bowyer and Vickers, who ran his first race of the season. Out of work since Red Bull Racing closed at the end of last season, Vickers was tabbed last week to run six of the races that MWR driver Mark Martin sits out this season.
He had a strong debut race, leading a career-high 125 laps. In 14 previous races at Bristol, Vickers had led only one lap, never finished in the top 10 and ended on the lead lap only four times.
Jeff Burton was sixth in a Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing and was followed by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing teammates Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya.
Jimmie Johnson finished ninth in what is likely his last race for some time with crew chief Chad Knaus. Hendrick Motorsports goes before NASCAR's chief appellate officer Tuesday, trying to get Knaus' six-race suspension overturned. NASCAR punished Knaus and the team because their Chevrolet failed the opening day inspection at last month's Daytona 500.
Paul Menard and Kevin Harvick finished 10th and 11th to give RCR three cars in the top 11. Harvick managed to pull off the finish despite damage sustained in a seven-car accident 24 laps into the race.
The accident was caused when Kasey Kahne ran into Regan Smith after passing him, and it continued the horrendous start to the season Kahne is having with Hendrick Motorsports. He finished 37th, and through four races Kahne is 32nd in points.
