Push Practice Makes Perfect
Worried about pushing out a baby? Push this balloon out instead.
An invention filed with the U.S. Patent Office allows pregnant women to partially insert a balloon in the vagina and push it out, in order to practice giving birth, reports Jezebel.
According to the patent, when inflated in the vagina, the balloon tapers conically toward the waist, which "causes the orifice of the birth canal to dilate in a manner similar to that caused by the emerging head of a baby." Pregnant women can then "exercise by pushing the balloon out of the vagina in preparation for giving birth."
"It's very interesting, but seems soooooo unnecessary and silly," says momlogic OB/GYN Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz. "Anyone who actually thinks that practicing with a balloon is ANYTHING like actually pushing a baby out is living in a fantasy. God bless America, though, right? Where else could you invent and patent this thing?"
Would you try this?
Are you kidding me? I don't think that a balloon will get anyone ready for the pain of having a baby. I wouldn't want to do it. I don't know who would want to volunteer for that kind of unnecessary pain. Good luck with that invention.
Is that thing even safe? (Isn't it uterine contractions that are supposed to dilate your cervix?) I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole.
No way that is craziness. My daughter's head didn't fit through my pelvis bones anyway so they did an unplanned C-section.
It probably can help condition the muscles between the anus and vagina to prevent tearing but it's only helping you prepare for half the experience in my opinion… Add contractions and baby movement to the mix and you've got a whole different ball game.
Doesn't mean women should be scared of vaginally delivering though. I am not.
Stupid. This is like saying, "Practice having sex with a banana so you'll know what it feels like when you do it for the first time."
This isn't actually dilating your cervix at all. Which is the bad painful part. This may, perhaps help stretch the birth canal some, but, why??
Don't think this would do anything a few extra large sex toys wouldn't…
what ever happened to good old fashioned keegels?
Look, every woman has everything she needs to give birth to the children she conceives. Sometimes a woman needs help for a variety of reasons. This product adds to the continued undermining of women's perceptions of themselves. Instead of feeling empowered about giving birth naturally, increasingly women are taught to feel afraid of the process that has happened naturally for thousands of years. Instead of buying this contraption, exercise, eat properly rest and feel good. To me that is the perfect recipe for giving birth easily in the most natural way possible. Peace. adiaha
No way. By the end of pregnancy, you don't want to be unnecessarily sticking things up your hoo-ha. You don't want to end up with Group B Strep if you haven't already got it.
And besides, most of the pushing is to move the baby through your cervix and down into the birth canal. If the baby was already completely in your vagina, one little push would do it. You don't push with your vagina, for goodness sake!
Great another stupid, useless, potentail self estemm damaging product from the medical community. Put it the category of labia reduction surgery. Totally unnecessary and unprofessioanl for doctors to do IMHO.
We ladies have managed just fine, throughout all of human existence. I think we've got it down. Let me guess, a guy invented this?
This could be dangerous. If the balloon should burst while inside the vagina, it could cause ruptures and tears. The utility of this, as pointed out, is at best, questionable.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and PARIS and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/12 -- Downloaded almost 7M times, Appsfire, the leading recommendation engine for mobile apps, today unveiled a slick and entirely groundbreaking update, making the new Appsfire the fastest, most engaging and extremely addictive way to find the best apps whether on discount, or not. Free and easy-to-use, the upgraded Appsfire has a visually rich display with new social ways to keep on top of the trends, share app lists with friends, and review real opinions aggregated from posts on Facebook and Twitter.
Rebuilt from the ground up to be the most advanced and powerful recommendation engine, Appsfire dynamically sorts through all of the hundreds of thousands of iOS apps in the App Store for the best ones.
"Appsfire is now even more delightful and easy to use and people are telling us they really like how fast it is to search for new favorite apps. The unique, elegant, social and gorgeous upgraded Appsfire tells you if an app is truly first-rate before you press the install button," said Ouriel Ohayon, Appsfire co-founder. "Appsfire definitely saves people time and money."
Application Overwhelm
While over 25 billion apps have been installed to date on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad devices -- well over 75 apps per device -- it is time consuming to explore over 700,000-plus iOS applications (1 million ever created) in the App Store for quality software that fits your individual needs and interests. Even when you know what you want, it is tough to decipher which application is the best one in a category.
Ohayon added, "People around the world tell us how addictive and simple Appsfire is to use. They love the speed, value the clear-cut recommendations that help them make decisions and they are having fun with the social aspects of the new release."
Great! Only 1 you Need! *****
The best app of its kind. Navigating the app is very easy and it's actually very fun...
October 31, 2012
Love it!!! *****
One of the nicer app searching programs! Has a very nice interface!!! The app just keeps getting better and better! Nice job guys!
October 10, 2012
5 stars for a reason *****
Downloaded this app and I haven't stopped using it yet. It's definitely the most useful app -- September 26, 2012
How Appsfire works:
When you launch Appsfire for the first time, the mobile application prompts you to share your interests, set personal criteria for the types of applications you are interested in, and indicate your price tolerance. Appsfire automatically tailors your experience and presents top-quality apps that are relevant to you.
Appsfire shows a continuously computed quality score of 1-100 based on a wide range of parameters gathered both inside and outside the App Store, such as professional review sites, Twitter, and Facebook.
Every aspect of the app has been optimized to save time. The new, blazing-fast Appsfire search engine instantly guesses what you are to looking for (name of an app, a category or even a need); e.g. when you type AN, up pops Angry Birds.
Availability and Cost:
Appsfire is a free application now available in the Apple App Store for download onto iPhones and iPads. Appsfire is offered in 13 different languages.
About Appsfire
Appsfire is a premium, mobile, discovery and marketing platform for iOS and Android platforms. Downloaded almost 7 million times, the elegant and personal recommendation engine helps consumers find applications that match their needs. The Appsfire platform powers app discovery through a variety of third party premium mobile apps and web services. The original concept of Appsfire was born in early 2010 out of a simple point of frustration: sharing and finding apps simply wasn't practical.

Earlier today, we posted a picture of what was referred to as the 1 Series Gran Turismo, but as it turns out, this car is actually the BMW Concept Active Tourer that is being unveiled later this month at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. As a growing number of automakers continue to expand into this ...
BMW is serious about its genre-bending multi-purpose vehicles. Proof of such can be seen in vehicles such as the X6 and 5 Series Gran Turismo, both of which were designed to offer something that fits in between a standard wagon and another carbon-copy crossover. It appears BMW may be thinking of ...

AG says Manchester man justified in shooting home invader
Ian Peters, 38, shot the unarmed 24-year-old man after he and a second unidentified man kicked in the door to Peters' 430 Lake Ave. apartment about 2:40 a.m. on Saturday, June 9. Larocque was shot in the arm and abdomen and died at the scene.
A four-page summary of an investigation into the shooting says Larocque and the other man went to the Lake Avenue apartment with the intent of harming Peters, who was at home with his fiancee and her three-year-old son.
It was reasonable for Peters to conclude that Larocque and the other man who forced their way into his apartment "were likely to use any unlawful force against Peters, his fiancee, or her child, during the commission of a burglary or some other felony. Therefore, Ian Peters' subsequent use of deadly force was legally justified," under state law, according to the investigation.
Police said the investigation into the home invasion itself is continuing in an attempt to hold the other home invader and any other participants accountable for their actions.
Around midnight, the fiancee, who authorities did not identify, received text messages from someone she knew. The messages turned confrontational and threatening. The couple was in bed when, about two hours later, they heard footsteps on the porch outside their bedroom.

Report: US Healthcare System Wasted $750B in 2009
Health experts suggest ways to fix the problem (Sept. 6)America's healthcare system has become too complex and costly to continue business as usual, according to a report from the Institute of Medicine, based in Washington, D.C. The report was issued on September 6.
Inefficiencies, an overwhelming amount of data, and other economic and quality barriers hinder progress in improving health and threaten the nation's economic stability and global competitiveness, the report says. However, the knowledge and tools exist to put the health system on the right course to achieve continuous improvement and better quality care at lower cost, added the committee that wrote the report.
The costs of the system's current inefficiency underscore the urgent need for a system- wide transformation. The committee calculated that about 30% of health spending in 2009 –– roughly $750 billion –– was wasted on unnecessary services, excessive administrative costs, fraud, and other problems.
Incremental upgrades and changes by individual hospitals or providers will not suffice, the committee said. Achieving higher-quality care at lower cost will require an across-the-board commitment to transform the U.S. health system into a "learning" system that continuously improves by systematically capturing and broadly disseminating lessons from every care experience and new research discovery. It will necessitate embracing new technologies to collect and tap clinical data at the point of care, engaging patients and their families as partners, and establishing greater teamwork and transparency within healthcare organizations. In addition, incentives and payment systems should emphasize the value and outcomes of care.
Better use of data is a critical element of a continuously improving health system, the report says. About 75 million Americans have more than one chronic condition, requiring coordination among multiple specialists and therapies, which can increase the potential for miscommunication, misdiagnosis, potentially conflicting interventions, and dangerous drug interactions. Health professionals and patients frequently lack relevant and useful information at the point of care where decisions are made. Also, it can take years for new breakthroughs to gain widespread adoption. For example, it took 13 years for the use of beta blockers to become standard practice after they were shown to improve survival rates for heart attack victims.
Healthcare costs have increased at a greater rate than the economy as a whole for 31 of the past 40 years, the report notes. Most payment systems emphasize volume over quality and value by reimbursing providers for individual procedures and tests rather than paying a flat rate or reimbursing based on patients' outcomes. The report calls on health economists, researchers, professional societies, and insurance providers to work together on ways to measure quality performance and to design new payment models and incentives that reward high-value care.

Hard-as-woodpecker-lips MOUSE GOBBLES live scorpion, LAUGHS off stings to face
Re: Evolution at work
But the mouse must have had other things to eat too? If it didn't then what are the chances of this mutation occurring before the mouse species is wiped out by the stings?
If the odds of this occurrence is high over a large number of years then why haven't other animals also evolved to eat this scorpion?
Re: How friggin awesome is evolution!
Realistically what are the odds of a mouse, which presumably can find other creatures to eat, comes along but due to some odd occurrence happens to have a natural genetic mutation that allows it to survive the stings, lives long enough to mate and those particular genes get carried forward to the next generation.
Then some time down the line one of its descendants has a genetic mutation that turns this toxin into something that also numbs the pain.
And if it didn't have other creatures to eat we have to factor in the chances of the whole species just being wiped out.
I'm not talking God vs Evolution - I'm talking mathematically what are the odds.

Re: pledging to set up its own Arabic,..
Iranians are Persians, not Arabs. The two groups don't like each other - at least on a political level. So saying that they'll set up an Arabic version of xyz may cause issues.
Re: If they had a time machine...
Erm, not sure what your ale has been spiked with but Mohammad, the first few caliphas AND mecca (a well know trade and cultural centre point even before Islam) are all fictitious? And I thought the story of the Iranian claiming to have built a time machine was far fetched. Though the fact that you got 7 up votes seems a little worrying.
But I guess in your world cities like Basra, Koofa and others build during the second Calipha. Important battles such as the battle of Yarmouk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Yarmouk) are all either fictious or the works of a band of desert arabs with no central leadership who just decided on a structure conquest of land around their own patch?
Then a bit down the line they decided to append a religion to what they did - you know, just to explain themselves?
@Phil O'Sophical
"Unfortunately most faiths get surrounded by religion which, as the original poster eloquently noted, is universally a crock of shit, usually created by opportunists to obtain personal power and profit."
From my understand neither Mohammad nor his family ended up very rich or powerful. Mohammad died with very little food left for his family and what wealth he had went to the state treaurary because under Islamic law (and this may be true for other Abrahamic religions) Prophets do not leave inheritance.
He also didn't appoint any of his family to lead after him and the leadership went to different families after him...so not much power or profit there.

That's one thing you can say about Apple. They to generally provide better quality products. It doesn't really matter that the iPhone 5 was an incremental upgrade and that the iPads are not really "magical" - what they are is decent quality and built with a bit of thought for the end user (HCI).
PC manufactures seem content with just cramming everything on it without thought of how it would be used by the end user (full keyboards with number pads squished on 15" laptops being one of my gripes).

Bank Muscat hit by $39m ATM cash-out heist

This would require too much smarts for those guys.
Simpler approach would be (is being used) is to either use drug money or smuggling (or if your in somalia why not try piracy - like the "on a boat in the sea" type)...or if your in Afghanistan set up a "transport mafia" and have the Americans pay you millions to protect their trucks from...well, yourself!

UK doesn't have the SKILLS to save itself from cyber threats

Because we don't have aircraft carriers with aircraft for another decade or two and we've only got about 80,000 troops who are actually not here at the moment.
They'd not need to cyber attack - they could just walk right in and take what they want. Most probably the only official opposition would be some guy from Group4 security on minimum wage (if that).
Re: *nods*
Last I herd from a French person was that in France if you have qualification xyz then you must be paid at least a certain amount.

Anonymous turns private eye in Ohio rape case
Re: the Indian rape case involved a death
It was international news before she died and in terms what actually happened in each case the US version is a bit more disturbing considering the cover-up in a country were you'd expect better.
Why isn't this all over the international news like the Indian rape case?
I mean theReg, an IT mag, is the only UK based site reporting this. I'm guessing non-geeks outside the US will never hear about this one...and why aren't Americans protesting in the streets demanding justice like those Indians?
Israel taps teens to become 'interceptors' in cyberwarfare

Vatican shrugs off apocalypse, fiddles with accounts dept
Re: as it almost always is
Most killing in history are not done due to religion - but most in fighting. See my other post for details. I was just making a point that we can pin killings by person X on their beliefs easily - so we can pin Stalin killings on this Atheist beliefs.
The crusades was most probably the biggest killer (in particular of civilians) which was based on religion (though the political reasoning of the instigators back in Europe was slightly different) - that killed around 3m at most. Now compare that to the 40-70m killed in ww2 alone. I think it's a bit much blaming religion for all the problems - especially as I don't think Christian beliefs allowed for those killings even if it was Christians doing the killings .
And as for the loony bombers - well I don't they would even register on the scales** - flu most probably kills more people each year - not to mention that suicide is actually against Islam so that kind of shows how compatible that particular "struggle" is with the teachings of that religion (and if you look into islamic teachings you'll notice how far these people are from those teachings the claim to represent - under Islamic theology they are defined as "the worst of people to be killed on the earth" and the "dogs of the hellfire") .
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharijites
**not to say it's not bad, but it's small relatively speaking to other wars etc
Re: as it almost always is
Really, how are you defining that? A civil war fought between two groups of Christians (or other religious group) isn't really about religion - it's a political conflict that happens to involve Christians.
The main religious wars on there are French Wars of Religion & the Crusades which total 7 million. I suspect if we include smaller European wars between different churches it would bump up a bit but still most of the killing according to that list did not involve religion as the driving force.
WW1, WW2 was about empire building and in both cases we had a mix of religions on both sides.
WW1 - Muslims+Christians+Hindus+Sikhs (and Japan - not sure the name of their main religion) Vs Christians
WW2 - same except with Atheist Soviets on the side of the Allies and the Japanese with the Nazis.
Then we have the Mongol conquests - mostly non-religious. Different parts of the Mongal empire and their armies had different religions. For example the Blue Horde was headed by a Muslim while other elites where Christians and others had their native Mongol beliefs.
That remaining "large" death tolls are down to Chinese infighting.
Most of the killing is definitely not done in Gods name - ie to promote or spread religion XYZ.
as it almost always is
What? Like:
maybe the 4-10 million killed by our friend Joseph Stalin - you know, the guy who works in Gods name, no, wait - he was an atheist - oh well.
or maybe the the 40 odd million killed during that time that well known Christian Chairman Mao ruled China, oh wait, did I say Christian? I meant atheist.
Yup. All done in God name most of the time. I don't think the church has every pulled off large scale industrial genocide like the atheists.

Why IT chiefs are irrelevant to Microsoft's Windows 8 strategy
Re: Not surprising.
I have to agree. Leave win7 for enterprise and win8 with its "App Store" thing to tap the new app buying consumer market. If that was their strategy then I think they are playing to their strengths while trying something new.
Also I hope they do well in the consumer market. Win8 needs some refinement but if it does well it will force everyone to up their game. That can only be a good thing.

Taliban official's email blunder leaks 400+ contacts
Don't really see the issue here. Everyone on the list is known to the Taliban so why would they attack them now the list is in the "open" and anyone who may view these people as "traitors", well how are they going to track down anyone just by an email address? Unless they have email addresses like email@example.com.
Most of the Talibans on the list are most probably already in contact with or already known to the US/Afghans anyway so a blunder yes, but doubt it's anything big.
Egypt takes hard line on internet pr0n, calls for total ban

You might want to research that a bit rather than just copy and paste stuff from BNP esque websites. Historical accuracy of his wife's age is disputed even among Muslims. It ranges between one source saying 9 years with others indicating 16 years all the way up to around 21 years of age.
Of course if you're Nick Griffen then 9 is the most accurate.

Windows 8: Microsoft will declare victory, but will anyone believe it?
I think we should wait and see. I think people will get use to it and the thought of having a tablet that can run full windows apps when needed and just be a tablet the rest of the time is appealing enough imo to drive sales.
All the best to them. I hope it works out for them because it will help encourage everyone else (Apple & Google) to up their game in the same way Apple sticking iOS on tablets forced everyone else to wake up.
I think people tend to get in to "there is only one way of doing things, and everything else will fail" - much like when iPad came out.

Iran blamed for ZTE's 260 PER CENT profit slump
Re: Three lousy choices
Former colonies that are "enemies"?
The real "threat" to the west comes from Russia and China. In terms economic/military threat, places like Iran are quite down the list.
Re: Three lousy choices
cut them off economically is the preferred option? Like with Saddam and 12 years of sanctions and 100,000 of Iraqis dead (due to sanctions, not the war that followed)? Preferred option?
I'd rather keep talking, apply pressure economically and support groups that would eventually replace the current lot.
Iranians are a proud lot, like a lot of people around the world. Cut them off like that and they'll rally around the guys in charge - the opposite of what you want to happen.
Windows 8 pricing details announced as preorders begin
It's TheReg. Most people are IT folk here and they are going to be upset because it's not a straightforward OS for business use. They've stuck a pretty plinky plonky interface and generally will give headache to IT support in any company that adopts it as their desktop system...
On the consumer side I'm gonna guess most people will simply get use to it and I think regular, non "techies", will actually like it. It's not often most regular users need to delve in to core features or administrator tasks on an OS.
Ballmer's lightened pay packet is the least of his problems
it'll grow on people
I don't think using the job market is quite valid as pointed out by the poster above. To add to that windows7 has been out for a year or two. Check the win8 stats in a year or two.
As for companies upgrading to win8. I guess as people are forced to use win8 at home (due to it being shipped on newly built PCs) they'll become more familiar with it. That would make it less of a shock at work. All you have then is the cost of the upgrade.
All in all I don't think you can expect win8 to just take off overnight but around 6-12 months down the line would be the best time to gauge it's success/failure.

I agree with all the other points you made. With point 3 some recuritment agents, I'm sure, simply put out ads to collect candidate details...and usually offer you a job other than the one you applied for...which is usually not in tune with what you wanted.

What's the difference between the right and left sides of a hurricane?
The strongest winds in a hurricane usually occur on the right side of the track. If a hurricane makes landfall on the northern New England coast, the strongest winds will be to the east of the center of the storm.
In contrast, most of the rain falls on the left side of the storm track. Hurricane Gloria, which made landfall over Long Island and Southern Connecticut, and traveled west of Portland, produced wind gusts of 70 mph in Portland, but produced only .41 inches of rainfall in the City.

Big progress
Eclipse RAP mobile 0.5.6 released
Around two weeks on from their last update, the Eclipse RAP mobile team have announced their latest release for the iOS and Android widget toolkit, in Eclipse RAP mobile 0.5.6.
The updates are coming thick and fast for the multi-platform SWT-based toolkit, with some new features appearing in both versions of the mobile client. Now RAP mobile is capable of handling client-side non-UI objects to model the local capabilities of your phone or tablet. The team developed a geolocation object to support the GPS receivers in mobile devices to demonstrate how this works.
Another demo named 'Dashboard' has surfaced as well, which is derived from a German open information project that graphically displays information about delays in national rail traffic. Both are well worth checking out to learn deft tricks with the toolkit.
Solely for Android, there's the inclusion of the Canvas and GC (graphical context) APIs which progress things a lot for green droid developers and allow a degree of flexibility when creating individual UI elements within a widget.
To check out the full release, read more here. Don't forget to download it too to get creative with your mobile apps.

Most of the work of the General Mechanic this month has consisted of completing the installation of the conduit and wiring of the buildings in the new utility area, in cooperation with the CCC, and in moving all the equipment to the new shop, and installing it.
In addition, minor items of repair to Headquarters' cars and equipment were performed, and the usual servicing of vehicles and equipment.
Overhaul work on Ford Pickup U.S.D.I. #10889 was begun, but is not as yet completed.
One official trip was made to Phoenix during the month, for the purpose of delivering the Ford Dump Truck, U.S.D.I. #13910, to the Palmer Manufacturing Co. of that city who have contracted to repair the smashed cab-body. Another official trip was that made to NM-5-A, at Flagstaff, in company with Custodian Bicknell, for the purpose of delivering heavy equipment to the CCC camp there.
Park Naturalist King spent his time in office work except for a trip December 9 through December 18 which time was spent visiting New Mexico monuments, as is described more fully below. Junior Archeologist Steen spent nineteen days of the month in the field, most of the time at Aztec Ruins National Monument on archeological consultance detail. Junior Naturalist Dodge made a four and a half day trip to Walnut Canyon and Pipe Spring National Monuments as well as Grand Canyon National Park. On this trip he accumulated certain data needed for museum planning, and distributed 95 Gambel quail, which were very kindly furnished by the Arizona State Game and Fish Commission, re-stocking Pipe Spring National Monument, a project which was approved last year.
Following is a break-down of the time spent by the various members of the staff on the several projects of this department.
All available card envelopes were pasted in library books. This project is approximately 80% complete but cannot be finished until additional book pockets are received. The accumulation of color film lantern slides and motion picture continuities continued.
In addition to editing and processing the Superintendent's Monthly Report, the staff prepared six reports for submission to various offices. The usual large number of informational requests was answered.
A request was made to Region Three Technicians for a survey of Betatakin Canyon of Navajo National Monument with a view toward re-stocking the area with beaver. It is believed that these animals would aid considerably in retarding erosion there. Ranger James W. Brewer reports that upon superficial examination habitat seems favorable for beaver.
Notification was received from the Museum Division in Washington that efforts have been made to obtain Mescalero Apache artifacts for the White Sands Museum. It is believed that a representative series of these artifacts can be obtained.
Supervision of the Casa Grande Side Camp educational program was continued.
Considerable thought was given to the formation of a plan for administering the antiquities funds which was made in the 1939 fiscal year balances. This program will take final form next month, and it is hoped that certain very badly needed ruins stabilization jobs can be completed before June 30, 1939.
Data were prepared to form the basis for a job application for capping, draining, and patching in the ruins stabilization program at Aztec Ruins National Monument.
Lack of personnel precluded the possibility of any library cataloging during the month, but 1,200 negatives were identified and placed in the permanent negative file.
As was mentioned above, approximately 80 percent of the books in the library now are equipped with loan card pockets.
A total of 122 publications were added to the library as follows: 33 books, 23 periodicals, 15 leaflets, 3 prints, 6 maps, and 45 pamphlets.
Superintendents Jess Nusbaum and Charles Smith; Supervisor Ronald S. Lee of the Branch of Historic Sites; Ranger Edwin Austin; Project Superintendent H. B. Chase.
The following informational talks were given during the mont: November 30, talk illustrated by movies at Casa Grande National Monument to 25 Pima school children from Blackwater.
December 4. Five talks, illustrated by movies, given at Casa Grande National Monument museum as an experiment for holding visitors during rush periods until guides can be furnished. A total of 100 people were contacted in this manner.
December 21. One talk to the local Federation of Federal Employees at Coolidge, Arizona. Attendance: 35.
It was with considerable pleasure that the letter of transmittal sending the manuscript for Southwestern Monuments Association Booklet No. 1 to the printers was written on December 23. It is expected that this booklet will be ready for distribution within a month.
Through the kind cooperation of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission, 95 Gambel quail were obtained and distributed to Wupatki and Pipe Spring National Monuments. It is known that this species was native to both localities, but the birds have been depleted or destroyed through unusual circumstances. It is hoped that this stock, possibly augmented during the next two years, will re-establish this interesting species at the mentioned areas.
Continued attempts were made to obtain a vertical component seismograph for Sunset Crater National Monument. This project presents many difficulties and the staff is not very optimistic concerning successful completion. A seismograph for Sunset Crater would be such a distinct addition to the scientific program of the Museum of Northern Arizona at Flagstaff, Arizona, that the Southwestern Monuments staff does not wish to drop the project until all avenues have been exhausted.
In response to a request from a graduate student of the University of New Mexico, a compilation of all known holdings of vertebrate bone material in Southwestern Monuments museums was completed and mailed. This survey brought clearly to our attention the meager possessions and inadequate cataloging at most of the National Monuments. It is hoped that some time can be allotted to install adequate catalogs in many Southwestern Monuments during the next year.
In order to bring the ruins trail at Aztec Ruins National Monument out of the original rooms without the use of unsightly wooden ladders, it became necessary to excavate completely one living room near the center of the settlement and to excavate partially another room nearer the plaza. Junior Archeologist Steen traveled to Aztec Ruins and performed this excavation during the month, first having received proper approval from the Regional office. His report of this small dig will appear in a future issue of the supplement to the Southwestern Monuments Monthly Report.
The aerial maps for Case No. 21, Bandelier Monument Museum, were received from Bandelier and instructions were prepared for final mounting of the maps at the Western Museum Laboratories. Label copy was written and it is hoped that this case can be prepared early this spring.
Room measurements and a certain amount of other information was gathered by Junior Naturalist Dodge on his trip to Pipe Spring National Monument. This information will be used in future museum planning for this area.
Junior Archeologist Steen, with the gracious assistance of Mrs. Steen, prepared a script for the use of the Editor-in-Chief of the Park Service in compiling material of a publicity nature for the New Mexico Cuaro Centennial Celebration in 1940. The script delineated Coronado's entry into the Southwest. Considerable personal time was donated to the Government by the Steens on this project.
The field trip of Park Naturalist King was for the purpose of accompanying Supervisor Ronald S. Lee of the Branch of Historic Sites, members of the staff of the Region Three office, members of the staff of the New Mexico Cuarto Centennial Commission, through New Mexico monuments to make a survey of needs of the areas before the heavy travel season expected in that year. Mr. Lee came to the Southwest as representative of the Secretary of the Interior and will relay his suggestions to him.
The last month of 1938, December was a busy month at Camp NM-5-A. All W. P. Projects were started and materials of all kinds were received and stored.
Ninety four enrollees left for Pennsylvania on Saturday, December 24, 1938, leaving the company strength of 92.
The snow has melted sufficiently to allow transportation to all jobs without difficulty. Several inches of snow fell at Wupatki, but only one day was lost--that on account of the storm on December 21.
Camp Mechanic Chase spent from December 15 to 22 bringing a convoy of new trucks from Santa Fe to be distributed throughout several camps in Arizona. The trip was made without any serious delay and no accidents.
Acting Regional Director Maier and Inspector Haile spent a short time in camp on December 17.
Inspector Haile made his monthly inspection on December 19.
On December 2, Engineers Diehl and Tovrea accompanied by Sanitary Engineer H. Hommon visited Walnut Canyon, definitely settling several questions concerning the Sewage Disposal Plan.
Excavation has been started on the Administration Building and Residence No. 2 at Walnut Canyon and the water system including sump reservoir at the spring, the pipe line, and the storage reservoir, as well as the Custodian's house and Utility Building at Wupatki.
On top of a fairly busy, run-of-the-mill month comes the rush and grind of getting a lot of Public Works jobs under way; and on top of that the Christmas rush. With it all the boys in the office felt at times like a little dog chasing his tail--lots of action but not seeming to get anywhere. The work just kept piling up about as fast or a little faster than they could shovel it off the desks into th files and the out-going mail bags.
Al Kuehl wasn't quite so well as we reported last month and finally would up taking sick leave and going to the coast for a general overhaul and check-up. We understand at this writing he will be back after the holidays.
Charlie Steen is back from the job of excavating two rooms at Aztec Ruins where Carroll Miller is changing a visitor trail. Charlie reports an interesting trip and will probably give us something for the Supplement on the results of the dig. One interesting episode of the trip was the ten-above-zero night he and Mary had to spend out in the forest up over the Mogollon Rim in a truck whose lights went out. Such things grow more pleasant as the memory looks back a few years upon them.
Tom Charles got his new White Sands booklet out during the month and it is a nice piece of work. He wrote most of it while he was laid up with sciatica not long ago and Mrs. Charles said it was a blessing he had it on his mind as otherwise he would hardly have been fit to live with.
Johnwill and Lena and little Jimmie Faris seem to be getting settled down at White Sands in good shape. It won't be long now until the paved road is completed and we will be able to turn the public through the new administration area. Then will we begin to realize how big our problem is when a third the number of visitors the Grand Canyon has come down on our one full-time ranger, our part-time custodian, and our one utility man.
Ronald F. Lee, of the Washington Office Branch of Historic Sites, was in to see us on the 19th of December in connection with our cooperation with the Cuarto Centennial show over in New Mexico in 1940. We all enjoyed the visit very much, though we worked hard all day, even taking our problems to the luncheon table over at the Inn. Hugh had to take Ronnie up to Ash Fork, 300 miles, to catch an eastbound midnight Santa Fe train. Need we add that he is sold on the Southwestern Monuments?
For once, Washington beat the grapevine telegraph on the call for a Superintendent's Conference at Washington, January 5 to 10. It was as unexpected as the rabbit the gentleman sometimes pulls out of the hat. There is so much work in the office that the Boss decided the best thing for him to do was to leave this end to Hugh and go East himself. At this writing he is waiting for a cold to clear up and Doc. to give his consent; neither of them being very severe the outlook is good.
David and Corky Jones moved from Wupatki to Casa Grande on the first of December, and David is now on his winter tour of duty as ranger at Casa Grande National Monument. They are quartered at the Vah-ki Inn for the winter. During the month Davy overhauled the Pima basket and pottery case in the museum, improving the display considerably. He and Al, with the approval of Dale, have further museum changes planned as time allows. There is talk of sending more stuff back into storage which bring the usual yawls from the Boss who is more or less of the old school in the museum arguments and wants plenty of reference material on his shelves when he starts his museum talk with a party of visitors.
Mrs. Smith, of the Vah-ki Inn, invited the Park Service crowd over for dinner the evening of December 17. The Boss was surprised to figure up that there were 29 of us as a possible total attendance, but, fortunately for Mrs. Smith, our forces were somewhat scattered and not that many could attend. We all had a lovely time, needless to say, and there is still talk among the boys about the fine feed. Also we enjoyed the music furnished by Charlie Carter and Polly Tovrea, and everyone seemed to get a kick out of the Christmas carols and the general gang singing.
Ruth and Chuck Rickey dropped in for a few minutes the other day while en route between San Diego and Santa Fe on annual leave. They both looked well and it was good to see them again. They were about half persuaded to go home and send out their Christmas cards and then come back and go down to Guymas on a fishing trip with Tov. and Polly who are also taking annual leave.
Ted Cronyn has changed his official name and is now Custodian of Canyon de Chelly National Monument. He took a little time off during the holidays to get out to civilization for a few days.
George Sheffield, CCC, has changed from guide to mimeograph operator upon the resignation of Vic. Sholz who has gone to the coast to accept a position.
Scott Hall, CCC, has taken Sheffield's place on the guiding forces.
Bud Budlong had a tough experience the past month when it became absolutely necessary for us to talk to him. He received our wire by a messenger, tried half the night to get in touch with us through the short wave Arizona amateur stations, and then put in the remainder of the night slipping and sliding over the road into Gallup. But he made it, to the salvation of some of our friends.
Dale King was out with Ronnie Lee for ten days or two weeks and they both reported a very successful trip. They were at Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Aztec, Chaco Canyon, and El Morro. King came in rather under the weather with a cold or flu or whatever it is that every one is having, but Hortensia's cooking soon brought him around.
Natt Dodge has made several talks with color movies during the month and reports successful showings. Also we had one Sunday when we had a lot of fun experimenting with handling the waiting visitors between trips at Casa Grande with color movies and color slides. You will hear more of this later.
We had word from Ruth and Millard Henning at the first of December. They were at Martinez, California, and were trying to arrange their affairs so they could buy a house trailer in Los Angeles about the middle of the month and be in Death Valley by Christmas. From there they will be on the way to the Southwestern Monuments. We know that everybody will be glad to learn that Millard's eyes seem to be holding their own. They say they hear from Natt and Louie Caywood and Zeke and with the Monthly Report they keep pretty well in touch with what we are doing. They also say they are starting out for a two year cruise this time, which sounds like they may be preparing to visit all our monuments and really get acquainted.
Ruby and Hub Chase were Christmas visitors with the Millers at headquarters and then went down to Tucson where Hub had a lot of dental work caught up.
Louis Gastellum and Bob Petrie went home over the Christmas vacation, as did Larry Mungerro; Ira Goodwin holding down the bachelors' quarters over the week end.
On a wildlife trip to Pipe Spring, Natt secured a number of much needed photographs of the fort and surroundings, and brought back from the Heatons a Christmas gift for each of the Headquarters and Casa Grande families. The gifts consisted of home canned preserves, james, and jellies and the like which were greatly enjoyed by all of us and gives us an insight into why Leonard always looks so well fed. The Heatons had a real big hand in our Merry Christmas at Coolidge.
A new use for the museum truck (popularly known as "the pie wagon") is suggested by an experience suffered by Davey Jones. Davey was looking for some item among the shelves in the back of the truck when the door blew shut. Control of the latch being on the outside, Davey found himself a prisoner in somewhat warm and cramped quarters. Fortunately his shouts were heard and he was released. As long as the truck is at Headquarters, there will be no need of a jail at Case Grande.

Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a soldier; these come from being raised by her father (Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland. Living a life unlike any other teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Ms. Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.

2011 Guide Analysis: With spy thrillers firmly adopting the 'Bourne' trilogy as their role model in recent years, even James Bond wanted a bit of Matt Damon inside him in his last outing, we're now finally seeing several films hoping to break the genre free of that aesthetic and take it to new places. Some, like the new adaptation of John Le Carre's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", are going the full old school Cold War espionage road. Others however are trying more left field approaches like this film from "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice" director Joe Wright.
On paper, the description sounds rather bland and cliche. Yet a few weeks ago came the first trailer which surprised the hell out of everyone. Yes it's a spy thriller, but it's energetic, dark and filled with some fascinating imagery more akin to a Grimm Brothers fairy tale. Talking about the film back in October, Wright says he looked heavily to David Lynch for inspiration and this film allowed him to "play with that surrealist edge of my sensibility".
It's also a very "visceral and impactful" movie, filled with dark character humor and shocking rather than graphic violence. The original script by Seth Lochhead was picked up by Focus Features a little while back and was offered to Wright. He managed to land a stellar cast with "Lovely Bones" star Ronan as the titular girl (she in fact requested Wright be brought onto the project), Australians Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett as the mentor figure and antagonist respectively, and the likes of Tom Hollander, Olivia Williams and Niels Arestrup in key supporting roles.
Shot in Finland, Bavaria, Morocco, and Berlin, Wright says several of his trademark long steadicam shots are included, though none as obvious as his Dunkirk Beach sequence in "Atonement". The Chemical Brothers will be scoring the entire movie to provide a more "modern beat" says Wright, which should make for a unique soundtrack.
Ultimately the question is will the audience respond to it? A few months ago Anton Corbijn's "The American", a skilfully made low-key throwback to the minimalist thrillers of the 70's, met divided critical reaction but still managed a decent $64 million worldwide from a $20 million budget. "Hanna" should go further, the film has made the Black List of best unproduced screenplays twice, while acclaimed directors Danny Boyle and Alfonso Cuarón had previously been attached, giving you an idea of the pedigree that wanted to be a part of this.

The Recovery Everyone Can See Coming
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I don't know how much more data investors really need. I wrote about this last year, and the signs have only become clearer since then. The auto industry is undergoing a recovery that should last for several years. The pent up demand is huge, and the Great Recession cause many to rethink purchasing a new vehicle. However, just like death and taxes, some things are inevitable, and old cars don't run forever. One company poised to benefit from this upcoming recovery is Ford Motor (NYSE: F).
How Many Tips Do You Need?
When I wrote my last post, Experian reported there were 245 million vehicles in the U.S. with an average age of 11 years. In addition, 52 million of these vehicles were 16 years or older.
Investors can also look at the railroad industry to get a tip on the direction of auto sales. In their last earnings report, CSX saw a 15% increase in auto shipments. Norfolk Southern also said auto shipments were up, and Union Pacific saw a rise of 14% in automotive volumes.
In addition, you have analysts' projections for growth at each of the major automotive manufacturers. Analysts expect both Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM) and Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC) to show big earnings growth as they reclaim lost market share. Specifically, Toyota is expected to grow earnings by over 40%, and Honda is expected to see near 30% growth. Ford and General Motors (NYSE: GM) have been gaining ground on their foreign competitors, so they aren't expected to see such explosive growth. However, with 12.5% growth expected from GM, and 10.5% growth at Ford, they won't do too badly either.
The Strength Of The Oval
If you look at Ford's recent quarterly earnings, you can see that in three of their four geographic regions they performed very well. In North America and South America the company saw 12.76% and 10.71% revenue growth respectively. In Asia Pacific and Africa, the company's 47.37% revenue growth was astounding. It's no surprise the problem region was Europe, showing revenue down 21.69%.
Ford did mention something interesting, that I think bodes well for the future of the company in Europe. They said that last year, Europe only sold 13.5 million vehicles, which was the lowest since 1995. When a geography has a 17 year low in units sold, you can assume if they aren't at the bottom of their cycle, they have to be pretty close. Automotive sales are cyclical in nature, so investors have to realize that buying when things are bleak is often the best way to profit.
There Is Always Room For Improvement
In addition, Ford has some opportunities to improve their performance even further. The company's automotive operating margin of 3.8% compares favorably to most of their competition. This margin was good enough to beat out Toyota's margin of 1.91% and Honda's margin of 2.94%. However, General Motors did better at 4.27%, and Ford had a wild variation in margin between different geographies.
An example of where Ford could do better is, in the difference in operating margin in North America at 8.4%, versus South America at 4.8%. In addition, the company's huge revenue growth in the Asia Pacific Africa division was overshadowed by their tiny 1.4% margin. It seems clear that Ford North America can teach the rest of the company about manufacturing efficiency. If Ford can improve their margins, the company's earnings growth could change dramatically.
What Ford Does Better
The good news for Ford shareholders is, their company is growing, and expects to take market share in key geographies going forward. Not only does the company see industry growth in the U.S. and China in 2013, but the company expects to gain market share in both regions. While Europe is expected to still be problematic, this is likely the trough of the cycle.
In addition, Ford has achieved two goals that were set out several years ago. The company's debt ratings have recovered, and with the recent dividend increase, the company's yield is a significant part of investors potential returns. In fact, Ford's stock yields over 3%, which outshines Honda at 2.6%, Toyota at 1.3%, and General Motors' non-existent dividend.
Some investors might prefer Toyota or Honda's huge potential growth as better investments. However, their market share recovery may not happen as quick as analysts expect. Ford and GM are not the whipping boys of the industry they used to be. Both companies have gotten leaner and more efficient, and are producing better quality products. While GM has the faster expected growth rate at 12.58%, their lack of a dividend is what makes Ford my pick. The company's yield of 3%, plus at least a 10.5% growth rate looks like a good value. With shares trading at just 9.3 times projected earnings, and positive signs in the auto industry all around, this is a recovery everyone can see coming.

Hi Guys.
Was playing with macros a bit.
The problem I have with one button macros is that movement, Hero, and the various procs mess them up.
Here is what I came up with that works for me... Its not a one button, but it lightens the load a fair bit by making sure Mind Blast and Mindbender are kept on CD.
/cast [nochanneling] mind flay
/cast mind blast
/cast mindbender
To use:
Manually apply Shadowword: Pain and Vamperic Touch, and then spam the macro until you need to refresh the dots.
Remember to fire off Devouring Plague when you have 3 orbs and Shadowword: Death when its active and you'll be all set.
I really like ShadowPriestDotTimer to help keep track of dots.

Look! Enormous Painting in the Kitchen
Take a look at this galley kitchen. Looks pretty ordinary, right? It has nice light, and a bold wash of color... and then, turn your head. That's an enormous, gilt-framed painting on the wall, smack dab in the middle of this otherwise modest kitchen. Wow! What a statement! What do you think of this?
That is a serious statement in this kitchen, and I kind of like it. I'm not saying I would do it in my own space, but it shows a sense of drama and playfulness that I really appreciate in kitchen design.
Also? This kitchen is painted in a pretty fantastic color: Porter's Roasted Red Pepper. How great of a name is that?

Love it, it's so much fun. My only issue would be giving up being able to use that wall for more cabinet/counter space with a piece of freestanding furniture. But even with that, I'd find a way to rock some dramatic artwork!
Make a diptych (or triptych , if your prefer) that slides aside to reveal spice or other shallow storage. It should be easy to mount a large paneled piece on screens, and the standard space between joists (assuming no plumbing or electrical work) would make great shelf spacing!
this is really cool, however, I tend to be messy in the kitchen and I'd be so afraid of accidentally splashing it with something!
I like the idea but I certainly would only do this with artwork framed under glass or that is a very inexpensive reproduction because of the potential for food splatters.
Personally I love it and would do it myself in the same situation.
I just think it's be amusing to peek in the kitchen window and see the guy in the painting looking back.
I have a large framed original that covers a whole wall in the kitchen. I wipe any spills off the plexi easily, but since it is not near prep space it only needs regular dusting. I get to enjoy a bold bit of art in a space I spend loads of time in= happy!
I love it!
P.S. There isn't much modest about this kitchen.
Not that I particularly dig the painting, but how would you enjoy it if you can't stand back far enough to see the whole thing?
I'm way into it. It shows a willingness to do whatever you want, and I always like that.
I don't want it in my kitchen BUT I think it's great to see a homeowner do exactly what he wants in HIS own space.
Not unprotected so close to the sink. I have a large (not as large) 80 year old sketch hanging over the table in my kitchen but it's far enough away from water and heat and has plexiglass over it so I don't worry about it being damaged. As for appearances, yes, I like art in the kitchen.
I love the idea of statement art, but I wouldn't have picked that particular piece.
^ The owner painted it himself which is pretty cool.
i think the statement that the oversized art for the room makes is pretty cool. however, if this is a painting that they want their guests (and themselves!) to really see and appreciate, then there isn't enough room to really stand back from the painting and admire it. just my two cents!
I really like it. Love the red and white as it looks nice and clean. And the painting? Geez, I'm a; messy cook but it' on the far wall so how far do you guys spew your ingredients when you cook?
ixnay on the additional piece of furniture as it would really close off the space - unless of course, you NEED the storage the additional piece would offer. I'd rather ditch stuff than clutter up this amazing kitchen.
This kitchen rocks!
I love it. Yes, one could have issues with spills, storage and being able to view it better but I don't care. The sheer drama and just plain fun of having a huge painting in the kitchen out weighs all of that.
Word. What about the airborne oil particles when you fry? I'm sure Museum Curators everywhere are recoiling at this article.
Love it. And I have mad framing envy...I need to work on my mitre skills...
I loved this house tour and think that the artist who lives here did an brilliant job making a nondescript rental kitchen (with small floor tile and laminate counters) look fantastic.
Good idea but I'm with many others who are messy cooks! When you toss something into hot oil or are scrubbing something really ferociously those particles really reach far! and it's hard to really get a good look at the painting in this particular location. Paintings are great in the kitchen but I'm sad about how vulnerable this one is!
I LOVE it. I agree about protecting it with glass, though, particularly for oil. Think about that nasty greasy black dirt you find on the top of the fridge all over the painting, yuck. I would be careful with the glass, too--I sometimes steam up my kitchen when I'm boiling something for a long time, so I would want it to vent well if it gets steamy.
Agree with Yonella and MGINWA. It doesn't even look like there's any kind of a vent hood for the stove, so if this person actually cooks, there's going to be a lot of grease and moisture in the air which is bad news for the painting. I would think you'd need a really good vent (and an inexpensive painting you weren't really that attached to) for this to work.
Just a couple of quick notes about the painting. I did this about ten years ago for an event that I was coordinating. It is painted on inexpensive muslin with house paint from Lowe's. I coated it with several layers of a gloss medium to give it a shine similar to oil paint. I do not spend a lot of time cooking, but I have spilled things on it and it cleans very easily. I scrub it down a couple of times a year... I couldn't hurt it if I tried. I hung it in the kitchen because I like it and because it is an anomaly in the space. I enjoy things like that. Thanks for all of the comments, they're fun to read.

Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend Kassandra Perkins, afterwards he drove to the Kansas City Chiefs stadium and shot himself on Saturday. Gruesome details have continued to be released, and the newest might be the most disturbing. On Wednesday, Belcher's mother Cheryl Shepherd is heard encouraging Perkin's to stay alive during her call to 911. You can hear Perkins and Belcher's three month old daughter screaming in the background. "She's still breathing but please hurry," Cheryl Shepherd says on the recording of her call with Kansas City emergency dispatchers. "I don't know how he (inaudible), they were arguing, please hurry." "Stay with me, the ambulance is on the way. Stay with me Kassandra, stay with me," Shepherd yells. Shepherd told dispatchers that Perkins was bleeding, "just barely" awake and that it looked as though she was wounded in the back. She said Perkins moved when she spoke to her. When a police dispatcher asked about Belcher, Shepherd says only: "He left." Below i

Major changes could be on the way for the Charlottesville Area Transit service. Monday night, City Council will get a list of final recommendations on how to improve public transportation.
The goal is to increase the number of people using buses in the area. If all goes as planned, the changes would boost ridership by 6 percent.
Changes to bus service in Charlottesville and Albemarle County are in the works to make the system easier to use and more efficient.
The final recommendations are spelled out in 85 pages: $50,000 in bus route adjustments, $75,000 in bus stop enhancements – including one along Market Street – and new transfer stations that could cost up to $275,000.
The study suggests making day and night bus routes consistent, adding a new Route 11 to cover north Charlottesville and expanding service to Southwood and Pantops. New bus stops - 74 total - would be added along with a transfer station on Jefferson Park Avenue near the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Councilors will get the full report Monday night during their meeting at City Hall. If approved, the changes would take six to 18 months to implement.
