Nasa thinks big again: Agency unveils the massive new rocket to take men to Mars
Rob Waugh
Back to the future: The design for Nasa's newest behemoth harkens back to the giant workhorse liquid rockets that propelled men to the moon
Earlier this year, the Space Shuttle went into retirement after 30 years of service. But its successor - to be unveiled by Nasa today - looks very familiar.
The Space Launch System, which will cost up to $35billion, according to senior sources within the Obama administration, is a giant, powerful liquid-fuelled rocket more akin to the Apollo missions than to the Space Shuttle.
The astronauts even sit in a small capsule on top - but this time the destinations will be further afield, with an asteroid the first planned destination, followed by Mars.
'It's back to the future with a reliable liquid technology,' said Stanford University professor Scott Hubbard, a former Nasa senior manager who was on the board that investigated the 2003 space shuttle Columbia accident.
The multibillion-dollar program will
carry astronauts in a capsule on top and start test launching from Cape
Canaveral, Florida, in six years.
'This is a great day for Nasa, I think, for Nasa and the nation,' Bolden said.
Sen. Bill Nelson, called it 'a
monster rocket'. He said the hold-up in presenting the design was so all
the details would be in order, before the programme was presented and
defended by the administration.
'Will it be tough times going forward? Of course it is,' Nelson told journalists.
'We are in an era in which we have to
do more with less — all across the board — and the competition for the
available dollars will be fierce. But what we have here now are the
realistic costs that have been scrubbed by an outside, independent third
Nelson puts the cost of the program at about $18billion over the next five years — or $3billion a year. Some estimates, however, are closer to $35billion.
The size, shape and heavier reliance
on liquid fuel as opposed to solid rocket boosters is much closer to
Apollo than the recently retired space shuttles, which were winged,
reusable ships that sat on top of a giant liquid fuel tank, with twin
solid rocket boosters providing most of the power.
It's also a shift in emphasis from the moon-based, solid-rocket-oriented plans proposed by the George W. Bush administration.
Picture this: The Space Launch System will be designed to carry the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, as well as important cargo, equipment and science experiments to Earth's orbit and destinations beyond
'It's back to the future with a
reliable liquid technology,' said Stanford University professor Scott
Hubbard, a former Nasa senior manager who was on the board that
investigated the 2003 space shuttle Columbia accident.
Nasa figures it will be building and
launching about one rocket a year for about 15 years or more in the
2020s and 2030s, according to senior administration officials who spoke
on the condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet made.
The idea is to launch its first
unmanned test flight in 2017 with the first crew flying in 2021 and
astronauts heading to a nearby asteroid in 2025, the officials said.
From there, Nasa hopes to send the rocket and astronauts to Mars — at
first just to circle, but then later landing on the Red Planet — in the
At first the rockets will be able to
carry into space 77 tons to 110 tons of payload, which would include the
six-person Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle capsule and more.
Blast from the past: The artist's impression of Nasa's new spacecraft are a hark back to the aircraft used on the Apollo missions
Eventually it will be able to carry
143 tons into space, maybe even 165 tons, the officials said. By
comparison, the long-dormant Saturn V booster that sent men to the moon
was able to lift 130 tons.
The plans dwarf the rumbling liftoff
power of the space shuttle, which could haul just 27 tons. The biggest
current unmanned rocket can carry about 25 tons.
The size plans elicited an amazed
'good grief' from Hubbard, who said it would limit how often they could
be built or launched. Unlike the reusable shuttle, these rockets are
mostly one-and-done, with new ones built for every launch.
Some of the design elements, the deadline and the requirement for such a rocket were dictated by Congress.
While the recently retired space
shuttle's main engines were fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen,
it was primarily powered into orbit by solid rockets. Solid rocket
boosters were designed to be cheaper, but a booster flaw caused the
fatal space shuttle Challenger accident in 1986. The biggest drawback
was that solid rockets can't be stopped once they are lit; liquid ones
The new plan is to use a giant rocket
powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Apollo, Gemini and
Mercury flew into space on liquid rockets, and liquids fuel most of the
world's unmanned commercial rockets. Russia's Soyuz rocket is liquid
fueled too.
During its initial test flights the
rocket will use five solid rocket boosters designed for the shuttle
strapped on its outside and will have shuttle main engines powering it
on the inside. But soon after that the solid rocket boosters will be
replaced with new boosters that should have new technology and may be
either liquid or solid, the officials said
Nasa figures it will spend about $3
billion a year on the plan, officials said. The key financial part of
this arrangement is that Nasa hopes to save money by turning over the
launching of astronauts to the International Space Station, which orbits
the Earth, to private companies and just rent spaces for astronauts
like a giant taxi service.
Nasa would then spend the money on leaving Earth's orbit and the Earth-moon system.
Hubbard worries that Nasa has a history of spending way more than initially proposed — the space shuttle cost about twice what it was supposed to — and this new rocket system will drain money from other Nasa missions.

Comments about Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 LED Lantern:
This is a great lantern for my needs. I do a lot of short camping trips and I like the fact that I won't have to worry about charging it for those short weekends. I think the light out put is pretty good for a lantern this size. I think it was a good idea to be able control one, or two lights being on. This is compact enough that I may even leave it in my car all the time.

Je m'appelle Trish. Je voudrais practiquer mon francais. I was somewhat fluent 10 years ago when I stayed in Paris for 10 days, but have lost a lot because of disuse! I was in a small french group in Lutherville years ago. I live in Towson.
I studied French for 5 years before college, then 2 semesters at Towson U. I have been to Paris twice. I used to be pretty fluent for casual conversations, but haven't had much opportunity to hear french or participate. It would be fun to be in a group again.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Global equity markets rebounded and oil pared its losses on Monday on news of a planned meeting between President Barack Obama and leaders in Congress to discuss an impasse over how to extend the U.S. debt ceiling and end a partial government shutdown.
The lack of an expected deal over the weekend to avert a looming U.S. debt default as early as Oct. 17 weighed on world equity markets earlier in the day and kept the dollar under pressure. The yen rose as some investors sought safer assets.
Obama had planned to meet congressional leaders at 3 p.m. ET to discuss how to raise the $16.7-trillion (U.S.) federal borrowing limit and end a partial shutdown of the federal government, which began Oct. 1.
The meeting was later postponed to allow Senate leaders time to "continue making important progress" on talks over the debt and government shutdown, the White House said.
Earlier, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid emerged from a half-hour meeting with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and said he hoped to have a plan to present to Obama to end the shutdown and to raise the debt limit.
"They are looking for a big agreement sooner rather than later," said Stephen J. Carl, principal and head equity trader at The Williams Capital Group in New York.
MSCI's world equity index rose 0.22 per cent after trading lower by about the same earlier, while the FTSE Eurofirst 300 index of leading European shares closed 0.13 per cent higher at 1,252.47 after late-session gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 48.80 points, or 0.32 per cent, at 15,285.91. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 5.30 points, or 0.31 per cent, at 1,708.50. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 19.25 points, or 0.51 per cent, at 3,811.13.
U.S. government debt markets were closed because of Columbus Day, a federal holiday.
Investors started the day skeptical of a deal that had been expected over the weekend, said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Even if a deal gets done, McMillan said the stand-off had created "justifiable anxiety" and tremendous uncertainty.
"We've done more damage both directly to the economy, through the shutdown, and indirectly through postponing decisions and reintroducing uncertainly in the decision processes than anyone appreciates," McMillan said.
The earlier cautious mood was reflected in the neutral reaction to news that factory output in the euro zone grew at its strongest pace in two years in August.
The dollar, as it has since the budgetary crisis, bore the brunt of the early nervousness but pared losses on news of the White House meeting. It was 0.08 per cent lower against the safer option of the yen, trading at around 98.48 yen.
The greenback also slipped 0.29 per cent against the Swiss franc at 0.9096 francs, while the euro rose 0.2 per cent to $1.3568.
Adding to market worries, China said exports dropped 0.3 per cent in September from a year earlier against expectations of a 6-per-cent rise, while the annual inflation rate hit a 7-month high of 3.1 per cent, limiting the scope for rate cuts.
The decline in exports from the world's second-largest economy has raised questions over the global recovery, which was highlighted by the IMF last week when it trimmed its forecast to the lowest since the global recession in 2009.
Brent crude hovered around $111 a barrel, while copper rose 0.76 per cent to close at $7,255.00 a tonne as strong imports of the metal from top consumer China boosted optimism about the outlook for demand.
U.S. oil prices rebounded as traders covered short positions in the event U.S. politicians reach a deal to fund the government and avert a debt default.
"We're trading back and forth on the changing perceptions of what is happening in D.C. at this point," said Gene McGillian, oil analyst with Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
"You saw some short-covering on the latest news that the Senate will have a plan. Nobody wants to be exposed if something should change," McGillian said.
Brent crude futures fell 24 cents to settle at $111.04. U.S. oil rose 39 cents to settle at $102.41.
German government bond yields held near three-week highs as debt markets in Europe remained confident the United States would resolve its fiscal stalemate.
Safe-haven German Bund futures closed 4 ticks down at 139.75, while 10-year cash yields were flat at 1.86 per cent.

This place is great and feels like home very quickly. Hot shower, nicely set up kitchen area and comfortable beds. The wifi worked great too. We were able to Skype with family back in the states. We were in walking distance of a great bakery and restaurant (Stella's) as well as the Cheese factory (good ice cream ) and a nice little whole food market for a few groceries. It is a hike into town but taxis are a breeze. Sabine is more than willing to help book excursions too. We would recommend staying here! Thank you Sabine for everything! Pura Vida!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Treetop house was a mixed bag for us. Sabine, the owner was oh so kind to accommodate my allergies to fragrances. She even bought new sheets in anticipation of our arrival. The house is in an ideal location, near some wonderful art galleries (Sarah's gallery, and Marco Tulio Brenes gallery are amazing) restaurants, and a market with organic food. It's also walking distance to a spectacular waterfall, and Curi-Cancha wildlife refuge (highly recommended). The downside is the wind and cold. We were there in Jan. and the wind was so strong and loud that we could barely hear each other talk. The house is so poorly insulated that the shower curtain was actually moving with the wind that was entering through the cracks. There is generally no heat in Monteverde. Also the house was not stocked with the usual things we have come to expect from vacation rentals.......no paper towels, foil, plastic wrap. However, we did have a fantastic time in Monteverde, and on our last evening there, a troupe of white faced monkeys came right onto the house and trees we could see from the house windows.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+.

This is a must stay place for any family.... It was so much more fun then a hotel and we saved a lot of money too... We booked the entire home for our group of 9 people ( 4 adults and 5 children), there was plenty of room for everyone, even some personal space for the adults... The place is very big with multiple levels and it really is in the trees... The property is beautiful, from the decks you can look out over your own private jungle...There is nice river on the bottom of the property that you can walk down a trail to see or just listen to the sound of its waters flowing from the house... I didn't even count all the rooms in the place and each one is tastefully decorated with rustic style... The pictures really don't do this place justice, I was really surprised when I got there... We had a 2 big rental cars but, everything around was so close, it is really in a perfect spot... I really enjoyed the privacy, I felt like I was at home with my family there... I was a little nervous about staying in a private home in a strange country but, I am so glad I did and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for this type of vacation... Sabine the owner and her cute little daughter Tara were wonderful hosts and have a nice horse stable to ride horses as well... We are already planning another trip there next year....Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Our 2 families with teenagers love the unique experience of staying in this 3 level treehouse. I would highly recommend the experience for a few nights. Please keep in mind that this is a little like luxury camping in that the kitchen is minimal and the showers are barely warm. And one level had no bathroom so climbing the stairs at night was a bit challenging. But waking up to a crowd of monkeys outside our window made it totally worth it!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

We spent a memorable week at the Treetop House with a total of 8 (extended) family members. This unique and fun house had all the amenities we needed and the rooms worked out perfectly for sleeping, eating and relaxing. We saw monkeys and many birds right outside our windows. Sabine, the owner is a great host and was available to answer questions and even arranged some long distance transportation for us. It was easy 5 minute walk to a great local artists art gallery, a bakery and restaurants. The walk to Santa Elena was only about 20 minutes. The surrounding cloud forest is beautiful but often windy. We would recommend this house to anyone looking to visit Monteverde.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Joining us from tennis -- one of the states that votes on Super Tuesday is former senator Rick Santorum and senator welcome back to Fox News on that thank.
I'm Chris Kennedy were still good to be -- is our Ohio is I think it's generally agreed the biggest prize on Super Tuesday and it would seem to be.
Tailor made for you.
Blue collar manufacturing.
Lots of rural areas big evangelical vote.
Don't you have to win there.
While we're gonna do very very well that I I believe that I mean did say it's a tough state tough for us only because of the you know the fact that -- with the money disadvantage.
But we're we've got a great grassroots campaign.
We're hanging in there and we feel very confident that we're going to do well.
As you know it's it's it's always harder when you've got to too conservative candidates out there running in the races we've seen in.
In Washington and we've seen and I -- some of the other states.
We have the you know the the anti Romney vote if you -- both Gingrich and -- out there slugging away.
We just need that to show that we are the best candidate to go head to head and I think if you look at all these races.
It's governor Romney may want her to orbit or in this case Washington.
Tariffs and -- spent a lot of time out there.
But where that we're the ones that are that are the alternative the clear alternative and you know eventually hopefully this race settles out and we'll get a chance to go one on one.
And once that happens we feel very comfortable we're gonna win this thing.
Well you raise the question should Newt Gingrich dropped out.
Well that's up to him to decide that clearly if you if you continue to combine the -- that congress and -- tonight yet.
You know we are you know we're we're doing pretty well in Michigan we -- -- easily.
Had had had done those two -- and combined that.
You know that that's that's a process I think -- got to figure out you know where he goes after Georgia and -- we're gonna we're gonna see that I think we're gonna do well here in Tennessee we're gonna do well and Oklahoma.
And even at a very well also and in Ohio and North Dakota and and I you know I think we'll come in second place a lot of places -- so.
Again if you look at you know where you can finish first and and and and good second places.
-- -- again isn't this race narrows.
To what to -- candidates overtime and that's where we have our opportunity.
On the other hand because of filing problems you may be ineligible for eighteen of Ohio's 66 delegates.
And you're not even on the ballot in Virginia which means you have no chance for those 49 delegates the Romney campaign says this is a question a basic.
And they say you -- Well as -- as you know Chris those out those delegates had to be filed an ally in Virginia and and all back all the way back in early part of December and -- -- you know look I'll be honest and I was out running across the state of Iowa and you know sit at 2% the national polls that was very very limited resources.
-- we didn't have the ability to go out I think it's remarkable -- that it.
That if you look at all of the states other than a handful and not in in in Ohio.
And Virginia where we weren't the only one that didn't get -- about Rick Perry didn't get on into -- a lot of resources and Newt Gingrich who had a lot of resources back then did get on.
You know we've -- an amazingly well.
For -- campaign early on that didn't have a lot of resources to go out and do things.
And now we got -- a lot of ballots that people just you know probably -- and then I feel very good that we've got hot -- enough.
Clearly enough to be able to win this this nomination.
Rush Limbaugh has now apologized to that Georgetown law student who said that her student health plan should cover birth control.
But your party is still pushing this issue in the senate.
They offered the blunt amendment this week -- -- that any.
Business any insurance company could decide on moral grounds not to offer.
Birth control coverage as part of their health insurance plan.
Didn't do you really want to be campaigning on contraception.
In the year 2012.
With a blunt amendment was broader than that it as you know I mean it was it was a conscious clause exception it was a conscious clause exception that existed.
Prior to when -- Obama decided that he could impose his values on people of faith when the people of faith believe that this is a grievous moral wrong.
But because -- respect at least -- about the that's just let me just -- but it's a blunt amendment wasn't just talking about Catholic institutions Catholic colleges -- -- was saying.
Any it out US steel any company and -- insurance company could decide not to off.
For birth control.
If there was no no wasn't about birth control was about a moral exception to to any type of any type of mandated didn't specific -- out -- -- -- including -- can draw write any treatment while but it.

Music is important to me. My all time favorite song writer is David Bazan. My taste in music is constantly changing, but some artists I've enjoyed lately are: David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Tom Waits, Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, Yeasayer, Elton John, Modest Mouse, Talking Heads. I find that some of my favorite albums are albums I couldn't stand originally (Yeezus is growing on me!), never give up on music!
I know it's cliché, but The Godfather is the best movie of all time. The baptism scene gives me chills every time! I like a lot of movies, but if it involved spies doing spy shit I'm all in.
I watch a lot of television (Netflix makes treadmills bearable). I grew up watching Monty Python and the Simpsons. My favorite shows now are: Parks and Rec, Adventure Time, The Venture Brothers, Burn Notice (I know it's campy, but damnit, it's about spies!), That Mitchell and Webb Look.

Maple Leafs Notes: Marlies Head to Final, Gretzky Dismisses Rumours, New Podcast
Marlies Move onto Finals with Game Seven Victory
The Toronto Marlies advanced to the AHL Western Conference Final last night after their game seven triumph over the Syracuse Crunch.
The Marlies will start the finals Friday night against either the Rockford Icehogs (Chicago Blackhawks affiliate) or the Chicago Wolves (Atlanta Thrashers affiliate.)
The Crunch, to their credit, gave the Marlies all they could handle in the seven-game series. They had the Marlies on the ropes, up 3-1 in the series, but were unable to put the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate away. Toronto won game six 4-2 in Syracuse, forcing a seventh and deciding game in Toronto last night.
Led by stellar goaltender Scott Clemmensen, the Marlies also got a two-goal performance from pint-sized forward Brent Aubin. John Mitchell sealed the deal at the 7:20 mark of the third period.
Wayne Gretzky Passes on GM Job
Where does this stuff come from? Seriously? I was away from my computer all morning, only checking it around 4 PM this afternoon for the first time. In the time I was off the computer Wayne Gretzky was coming to Toronto...and then he wasn't.
It never stops in Toronto.
Gretzky told good friend and Coyotes colour man Darren Pang that he will always be a big fan of the Maple Leafs, but he is currently dedicated to seeing through his plan for the Phoenix Coyotes, and developing their younger players.
Gretzky was of course referring to the rumour that he was leaving Phoenix to come to Toronto to become either general manager or team president.
On a side note, GM candidate Dave Nonis is in Toronto and will be meeting with the GM search committee this afternoon.
New Podcast on the Way
Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to my debut Maple Leafs Podcast. It was indeed a little rough around the edges, but it will be a constant work in progress as I make the podcast a regular, successful part of Bleacher Report.
For those who may have missed it, podcast number one can be found Here.
Podcast number two will be available for download either tomorrow or Thursday, and I would love for my fellow Leafs Nation members to give their input on the show.
So, I am asking you, my loyal readers to submit questions, as well as show topic ideas, for the next (as well as future) editions of the Maple Leafs podcast.
Just like last week, the show will be a half-hour in length. Feel free to post as many questions/topics as possible, and I will try to cover them all.

i wish i was half as cool as zip line dog
I plan to, scratch that, I WILL increase the weight I deadlift while maintaining my form by the end of this month. My little bro is the best for teaching me 👦😺 @hale_caesar #mayfitnessphotochallenge #currentprogress #deadlifts
Numerous studies have shown that HIIT cardio is extremely effective for fat loss. It revs up your metabolism (unlike steady-state cardio) and keeps it elevated for hours after you finish. Give it a try!:
Warm up at a comfortable intensity for 5 minutes.
Then, give your maximum effort for 15 to 30 seconds, followed by a 2-minute recovery.
You can walk during the recovery or you can just take it down to a very light jog, depending on your current level of fitness. More than likely, though, you will be going so hard that you will need to walk during the recovery.
Perform between 6 and 10 of these intervals, and finish with a cooldown.
Fuck you #hashimotos for making me so damn tired… I still work out hard!! My brain won't win, my heart does!
This is Coy Mathis, a transgender 6 year old living in Colorado. It just so happens that my brother is in her class at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, Colorado. When I asked my brother how he felt about Coy he said, "She's got really cool hair and we play on the slides at recess." I asked what he thought about Coy's decision to be a girl and he said, "She is a girl. She just got the wrong body on accident." How is a 6 year old more understanding and accepting of her than many of the adults at Eagleside Elementary?

Catterick: plan for all-weather track has support of local trainers
PICTURE: Edward WhitakerCatterick track plans gather more support
THE regional chairman of the National Trainers Federation on Tuesday added his backing to plans to create a new all-weather track at Catterick on the day BHA representatives visited the course to speak to management.
Regional NTF members were unanimous in their backing of a northern all-weather track at a meeting on Tuesday and at the same time voiced their opposition to the Arena Racing Company being involved in a new course.
Arc, in the shape of Newcastle, and Catterick, have both recently revealed plans to replace their turf Flat courses with all-weather tracks, while the BHA has commissioned Deloitte to produce a report on the consequences of expanding all-weather racing in Britain.
Regional NTF chairman Tom Tate said: "High transport costs and poor prize-money make it uneconomic for us to run horses on the more southerly tracks and there's no doubt we are suffering financially due to the lack of opportunities in the north. We therefore would very much welcome a northern all-weather track.
"Members were agreed that ideally the track should be located no further south than Wetherby, on the east side of the country and as near as possible to the A1 and the training centres of Middleham and Malton."
Arc's refusal to sign a prize-money agreement with the Horsemen's Group has made them unpopular with trainers, according to Tate.
"Members feel let down by Arc's recent refusal to make the commitment to link media-rights payments with prize-money and, while they have guaranteed a 2014 contribution equivalent to the bottom tier rate, our members are not confident about the future," he said.
"It was also felt to be unhealthy for Arc to have such a dominant position in this market; their poor current performance in maintaining a good surface at Wolverhampton being a case in point."
Representatives from the BHA discussed the matter at the meeting, and on Tuesday they were at Catterick along with Deloitte to speak to the track's management.
John Sanderson, chief executive of International Racecourse Management, which runs the course, reported: "Fundamentally they were on a fact-finding mission.
"We had our team there with the plans, gave them all the facts and answered their questions.
"This is all part and parcel – I assume – of the BHA formulating its policy. Understandably they were fairly guarded, in the nicest possible way."

ABC Pushes Apollo Candy Bar On 'Lost'
Originally, the Apollo Bars appear in episode two, season two of "Lost," where Kate is tied up inside a room in the hatch that turns out to be a pantry. She unties herself, notices a box of chocolate bars, rips open the box and eats one. It's an Apollo.
Never heard of Apollo? According to a press release, the Apollo bar was created by "M. David Benson" in the 1960s, and is now manufactured by the Apollo Candy Co., a subsidiary of The Hanso Group. The same company that conducted psychological experiments in the 1960s where people were put on deserted islands to--among other things--push a computer button every 108 minutes.
In reality, ABC--under the direction of Mike Benson, senior vice president of marketing--created the Apollo bar. (Benson--as in M. David Benson.) A picture of Mike Benson as a youth is on the ApolloCandy.com site.
Unlike most network TV shows, "Lost" doesn't have any product placement. To give the show a real-world feel, ABC created the fictitious Apollo bar.
In another episode last season, Hurley lets all the survivors eat the food in the pantry. But Rose saves an Apollo bar for Bernard, who she hasn't been reunited with yet. At one point, Hurley asks Rose if she's ever heard of an Apollo bar. She hasn't.
There are four other episodes where the Apollo bar made an appearance. As a result, the candy bar got some buzz last year among "Lost" fan sites.
Last week, ABC began distributing free candy bars in select locations, in the U.S.--New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago--and in other countries, the U.K., Australia and Asia. The effort is part of a marketing stunt to help launch the new season of "Lost."
Real-world product placement is on the rise on TV screens. As for faux product placement? ABC didn't have an answer as yet.

China dismisses Google accusations on Gmail
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it did not accept accusations from Google Inc that the Chinese government was making it difficult for Gmail users to use the service in the country.
"This is an unacceptable accusation," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular news conference, without elaborating.
On Monday, a Google spokeswoman said any difficulty users in China may have faced in recent weeks accessing Google's email service was likely the result of government blocks.
Gmail users in China said they were still able to log in to their accounts, but were unable to perform tasks such as sending email and accessing their address books.
On Monday, Google shares were up 2.8 percent, while Chinese rival Sina Corp rose 5.5 percent and Chinese search engine operator Baidu Inc rose 2.9 percent.
Google's run-ins with the Chinese government began in January 2010, when the company said it was no longer willing to censor search results in the country. Previously, the company included a disclaimer on its China service that searches may not be complete because of local laws.
Searches for terms deemed sensitive by Chinese censors are routinely blocked. Chinese search engines such as that offered by Baidu already voluntarily filter searches.
This is not the first time Google has accused China of interfering with its services. In January, Google said it had uncovered sophisticated China-based attacks on human rights activists using its Gmail service around the world.
The months-long censorship dispute that Google had with the Chinese government was a diplomatic flashpoint in Sino-U.S. relations in 2010.
Censorship of Web content has intensified in China following calls on foreign websites for a "Jasmine Revolution," which are anti-government gatherings inspired by demonstrations in the Middle East and North Africa.

Exquisite Costa Rica Information
CR Cigars!
OVNIs & UFOs in Costa Rica!
Near Volcano Arenal... UFOs are Constantly Sighted!
The following picture, taken a few years ago, is from a Costa Rican contact, and presents an extraordinary picture of a UFO, taken the instant it began its dive into "Lake Cote", near Lake Arenal, (which is also a dam), in central Costa Rica.
COSTA RICA Lago de Cote Near Arenal Volcano 10/25/86 (Confrontations)
Two farmers observed an object, just beneath the surface of the lake with a row of three or four posts or pipes, rising from it, to about three feet above the surface of the water. After five or ten minutes, the object submerged and sunk from sight.
There are many such sightings in Costa Rica and they are taken as "usual occurrences" by most of the population.
This is probably one reason, such occurrences take place in broad daylight. If you look closely, you can see it, just beginning to enter the water.
This is an impressive photo, and it's already been analyzed, in several parts of the world. I quote from the latest report, by researchers, Richard Haines and Jacques Valle:
Our analyses have suggested, that an unidentified, opaque, aerial object, was captured on film, at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings, other than dark regions, that appear to be non random. There is no indication that the image, is the product of a double exposure or a deliberate fabrication". (Haines, and Vallee, 1989).
A high resolution camera, was mounted on the plane, pointing downwards, and programmed to take photographs of the terrain below, every 17 seconds.
It shows in extraordinary detail, all features of the landscape (water, shoreline, trees, etc.) and you'll notice how it was determined that the object (about 600 ft. or 200 meters in diameter, was coming into the water, from right to left, at an angle of approximately 30°, in relation to the surface of the water. The area covered is approximately 7 miles across.
Volcano Irazu
Famous Costa Rican UFO Contactee
Famous Costarican Contactee and expert in telecommunications, engineer Enrique Castillo, whose reports, are as trustworthy, as you'll ever get and who has passed all sorts of tests, involving hypnotic regression and lie-detection in laboratories in the U.S.
He had his first contact, on top of the Irazu Volcano, in Costa Rica. (Approx. 9,000 feet above sea level), back in 1963, which happens to look like an eerie artificial forest, with more than 200 steel radio towers, (a veritable hub of telecommunication activities in the country).
The name of this volcano Irazu, (Iztaru), is from the language of the Huatare Indians, that used to live on its slopes. It means "the thunder" or "a place which trembles".
Many locals have spotted ufos hovering at various heights, while hiking in the mountains, some of them, around the area, Where famous researcher, Andreas Faber-Kaiser, reported having gone down a tunnel, which locals claim, leads to the mysterious ancient shrine, called the "Temple of the Moon", a sacred building, said to have been built, some millennia ago, by an advanced race, as part of a compound, that includes some 500 underground buildings!"
UFO activity in Costa Rica, has been sighted in the vicinity of Irazu Volcano, an active volcano, which has played a significant role, in a number of cases.
Local residents have seen solid crafts, enter and exit Irazu Volcano, sometimes through its sides, both by day and night.
Some UFO researchers, are of the opinion, that the craft's presence, in the volcano's environs, points to the existence of a subterranean facility, for the extraction of energy released by the earth's natural processes.
Contactees claim, that their extraterrestrial "masters", are indeed, trying to avoid disasters, by defusing tectonic stresses, under the earth's surface.
Yet another faction believes, that the UFOs are the cause of an increasing number of tremors, and the possibility, of renewed volcanic activity within Irazu. Many UFOs have been spotted by and in Lake Cote, near Lake Arenal and Volcano Arenal as well, with many missing people reports. Other UFO sightings have been seen, in the Heredia mountains, in the Santa Ana Mountains, (in Montana del Sol), in Santiago de Puriscal, Golfito... and the Osa Peninsula.
Volcano Poas, is more difficult to view, because it is shrouded in misty smoke.
Unidentified Flying Objects Spotted Over Costa Rica!
Monteverde, Costa Rica, on February 28, 2003, it all started at 1 AM, with five dogs barking wildly, and then they all ran away. "We looked to see what was up, and saw a single blue white light, that had red, orange and green lights, spinning around the top." A steady bright white light, was at the base. The light was dancing in the sky, making deep drops, and steep climbs, other times, staying motionless. When it appeared, the light turned to the other side, we could see the outline shape, of a saucer. At times the object appeared to send rays of reddish light, downward to earth. The light at the time, seemed bright and focused in our direction, at other times., dim and focused away. It was mostly in the southwest sky, toward Puntarenas and then south, over Panama. Once the light disappeared, the dogs all quieted down.
Encounters in Central & South America in 2003
Location: Sullana, near Piura La Vieja, Peru Date: February 2003 Time: unknown
During a heavy wave of UFO sightings, that included luminous UFOs, silvery discs and hovering spheres, witnesses reported seeing colored lights, hovering above the rooftops and in the same area, encountering a tall beautiful blond woman, with wild golden streaked, chestnut colored hair, wearing a golden tanga, with little silver stars embroidered beneath the waistband. It reportedly vanished in plain sight.

Mass Sighting of UFO's Over Mexico 1997 MEXICO CITY, December 26 (Itar - Tass)
A mass sighting of UFOs over Costa Rica, Central America, were reported on CNN's web site. The Costa Rican mass media reported on Thursday, that unidentified flying objects, were spotted the day before, in the country's air space, over Golfito district, which is 330 kilometers, to the south of San Jose. However, TV cameramen, were unable to film them, as they did on Monday. On December 22nd, cameramen from two local television channels, filmed at least a dozen "flying saucers" in the sky, south of the Costa Rican capital. Before the eyes, of hundreds of people, they made zigzag maneuvers, for several minutes. Flight controllers of the International Juan Santa Maria Airport, counted "approximately fifty thousand traces", of their movements. Some car drivers, stopped to watch the phenomenon. According to Ufologist, Carlos Vilchez, most remarkable, is the fact, that these UFOs appeared in daytime, that they were seen, by hundreds of people and were filmed by TV cameramen. He also expressed the view, that an influx of UFOs, into the air space of Costa Rica, could be expected, within the next two months. About ten "saucers" were watched by hundreds of people over San Jose, exactly one month ago. They flew over the city, for several minutes. They were also filmed, by TV cameramen. Scientists have not found any explanations, for this phenomenon.

Costa Rica - San Isidro UFO Sighting 01/05/97
At 3:15 p.m., people reported a "platillo volador" (flying plate), heading for San Isidro.
Costa Rica - San Jose UFO Sighting 12/26/96
Jorge Arturo Melendez Mora, a pilot, with 26 years' experience, was flying over the cordillera, in his twin-engine Piper Aztec, when he spotted "three OVNIs (Spanish acronym... for UFO)" alongside his plane "reflecting the moonlight."
Melendez Mora said, the UFOs "were the size of a Boeing (jetliner), doing things, the best of pilots, could not do." He kept them in sight for 40 minutes.
Daylight disks, dominated the skies over the small Central American nations, of Costa Rica and Belize, during Christmas week. On Thursday, December 18, 1997, Miguel Tirado Alvarez, spotted mysterious lights in the night sky, over San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. He reported, "I saw various white points of light, approximately eight, hovering above the capital city. It (the UFO), was moving around a great deal. It was reported, not to be an airplane." On Monday, December 22, 1997, tourist, T. Hickman, was relaxing at his hotel, on San Pedro Island, off the coast of Belize. At about 11 p.m., he reported, "My wife and I saw a UFO, flying straight above us, just slightly to the south of the Pleiades star cluster."
The object "followed a very erratic flight pattern and made many direction changes" during its over flight. Also on December 22, eyewitnesses in Golfito, Costa Rica, a port on the Golfo Dulce, approximately 330 kilometers, (198 miles), south of San Jose, near the Panama border, spied several "daylight discs" crossing the sky. The saucers were also seen... in Puerto Jimenez, across the bay from Golfito. On Christmas Day, December 25, 1997, ten silver saucers flew westward, from the Cordillera Central, passing over San Jose. "They flew over the city, for several minutes and were filmed, by TV cameramen." (Muchas gracias a Len Fedullo, Tim Hagemeister y otros para esas historias).
UFOs Roam at Will Over Costa Rica!
For the past two weeks, the Central American country of Costa Rica, has been visited nightly, by unidentified flying objects, usually described, as grayish white or silvery discs. The flap began on Sunday night, December 22, 1996, with a report of UFOs, over the cities of San Isidro, in the Cordillera de Talamanca, and Quepos, on the Pacific coast. During succeeding nights, air traffic controllers in the tower at Jose Santa Maria International Airport, located just outside San Jose, the nation's capital, reported radar contacts, with "objects that cannot be identified." The UFOs were tracked by radar over the cities of Ciudad Colon, Santiago de Puriscal, Parrita, Esterillos and repeatedly, Quepos. A radar operator... told the newspaper, La Nacion, that "some of the objects... move at an unimaginable velocity, others more slowly."
Wednesday evening, January 1, 1997, twelve farm workers were stunned to see a very large UFO, which they described as "a cylinder shape, of an orange color" hovering over a sugar cane field, near San Cristobal, in the state of Chiapas, in Southern Mexico. The group watched the glowing UFO, for several minutes, before it zipped away to the east, heading for the Rio Usumacinta, the border with Guatemala.

Following the steps of Nevada to officially approve rules for self-driving cars on its public roads, the State Senate of California passed the Senate Bill 1298 today to support the safety and performance standards of autonomous vehicles operating on the state's roads and highways. The bill, authored by Sen. Alex Padilla, passed with a unanimous vote of 37-0, and will now make its way to the State Assembly, where it is expected to receive its seal of approval within the next month. Senator Padilla explained that thousands of Californians tragically die in auto accidents each year and that the vast majority of these collisions are due to human error.
"Through the use of computers, sensors and other systems, an autonomous vehicle can analyze the driving environment more quickly and accurately and can operate the vehicle more safely," the Senator added. In case of emergency, the bill requires all vehicles to meet existing federal and state safety standards, and will be required to include a mechanism for disabling autonomous functions. A licensed driver will also be required to be in the vehicle at all times and all autonomous vehicles tested are expected to work with the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Motor Vehicles to recommend additional requirements.

For some reason, hanging out along the highway. Unfortunately no scale in the photo though proximity to this individual gave us appreciation for size.

Marten tracks. Pencil metal is 0.5 inches so diagnostic separation from fisher is width of an individual print (greater than 2.5 " for fisher) and straddle, or total width of two side by side prints (greater than 4.5″ for fisher).

I've been curious about small mammals being left along a trail I commute along and this morning I figured out that I must be startling a fox who let a frustrated yelp when I stopped to investigate his prize.
When faced with a relative 10 story tall threat they don't tuck tail and run, rather pretend to be invisible and if that doesn't work they just get fiesty.
