Heralded as the "most advanced Mac ever built," the officially dubbed "MacBook Pro with Retina Display" models combine a beautiful high-resolution LED-backlit 15.4" widescreen 2880x1800 (220 ppi) "retina" display with a thin, sleek case design that weighs a bit less than 4.5 pounds (2.02 kg). Curiously, these systems are not branded on the display bezel like earlier MacBook Pro models.
Somewhat controversially, the Retina Display models also are an essentially "sealed" design with RAM that is soldered in place and cannot be upgraded after purchase, storage that is not intended to be upgraded after purchase, and a battery that cannot be replaced readily even by technical users or third-parties, either.
This particular model -- the MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.3 15-Inch (Mid-2012 Retina Display) features a 22 nm "Ivy Bridge" 2.3 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (3615QM), with four independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (which cannot be upgraded after purchase), 256 GB of flash storage, dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and an "integrated" Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor that shares system memory, as well as an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam. It does not have an internal optical drive.
Connectivity includes 3-stream AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 3.0 ports, two "Thunderbolt" ports, an HDMI port, an audio in/out port, and an SDXC card slot. It does not have Gigabit Ethernet or Firewire "800," although adapters are available at extra cost.
In addition, this model has a backlit keyboard, a "no button" glass "inertial" multi-touch trackpad, a "MagSafe 2" power adapter, and an internal, sealed battery that provides an Apple estimated 7 hours of battery life.

Though we are setting extremely conservative interim paylines, we expect the actual R01 payline for FY 2010 to be considerably higher.
While we usually wait for our appropriation and paylines in the fall, this year's wait will be longer.
Why We'll Wait for Paylines
We do not expect to have enough application and scoring data to project FY 2010 paylines for grants other than R01s until late spring. Here are the reasons.
For now, we are setting interim paylines that are extremely conservative. So far we have interim paylines only for R01s, at the 6 percentile, except new investigators at the 10 percentile.
Keep in mind that we expect the actual R01 payline for FY 2010 to be considerably higher. For general information about the process, read Paylines and Budget Pages Change Throughout the Year.
Timing for Our Budget
A second continuing resolution went into effect last month, lasting through December 18.
While in a holding pattern, NIH has started releasing details of its financial management plan. First up: funding for noncompeting grants.
Awards will typically be at up to 90 percent of the level indicated on the most recent Notice of Award. NIH may restore some or all of these monies once we have a budget. Find the official word in the November 5, 2009, Guide notice. We also added this information to our Financial Management Plan.
As soon as we receive more pieces of the funding puzzle, we'll update NIAID Paylines and Financial Management Plan on Paylines and Funding. Check these pages regularly or Subscribe to Email Alerts (select the NIAID Paylines and Budget interest category).
In an exception to normal practice, people who wrote their papers in non-Latin characters (for example, Japanese) do not need to follow any of the requirements of NIH's public access policy.
For more information, read the October 30, 2009, Guide notice, and go to our Public Access of Publications SOP for details about the process everyone else must follow.
NIAID awarded 23 exceptional grants out of the 840 NIH total.
If you're wondering who received a Challenge Grant, the wait is over. NIH made its selections using the plan we described in our July 29, 2009, article "Making Funding Decisions for Challenge Grants."
NIAID awarded 23 Challenge Grants out of the 840 NIH total. Our number is a small piece of the pie because many other institutes used their ARRA funds to pick up additional Challenge Grants. Instead, NIAID chose to fund investigator-initiated R01s up to the 25 percentile.
See the list of funded Challenge Grants for NIAID Investigators. Congratulations to these investigators who submitted applications for truly exceptional, innovative projects.
NIH has started posting the new forms and instructions for the shorter application format for both paper and electronic applications.
Please note that the new R01 and other parent announcements are not online yet. Watch for updates at Parent Announcements for Investigator-Initiated Applications.
But you can read the new Application Guide at SF 424 (R&R) Application and Electronic Submission Information. The instructions should keep you busy—183 pages for part one alone!
Most people will use the new forms for applications due after January 24, 2010, including when resubmitting. For electronic applications, find resources at SF 424 Application and Electronic Submission Information; for paper applications, use the June 2009 PHS 398.
Know when to use the new FOAs and new PHS 398 or ADOBE-FORMS-B.
If your application is due on or before the dates shown above, use the archived FOA and ADOBE-FORMS-A.
To read the latest announcement, see the November 23, 2009, Guide notice.
Add enough detail to convince reviewers that you understand what the work entails and have the resources and expertise to conduct the research.
In our November 12, 2009, article "The Art of Application" we said that impact trumps experimental details for the shorter applications.
Here are some tips to help you focus your application strategically so you can convey its impact in less detail and space.
For more detailed advice, go to our updated Strategy to Pick a Project and Choose the Grant in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Under various circumstances, you can use the same application to respond to another FOA, as long as you submit it as a new application.
Let's say you applied for one of the Recovery Act request for applications but your application was not funded. Can you submit that application again?
Yes you can, but you must go about it correctly.
You may use the same application to respond to another funding opportunity announcement, as long as you submit it as a new application. Follow all procedures for a new application; for example, do not include an introduction or refer to the previous review.
Be sure to follow the instructions in the FOA, use the current forms, and heed any policies that went into effect since you last applied—find them on our Top Policy Changes.
NIH allows you to reuse the same application under various circumstances. Read more in Which types of unfunded applications may I reuse, and how do I proceed?
Feel free to send us a question at email@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
Yes, you should receive your summary statement early enough to be able to resubmit the R01 application for the next review cycle, February 5.
You'll need to prepare your resubmission in the new application format with shorter page limits. Use the Adobe-B forms and the soon-to-be-published R01 parent announcement—go to Parent Announcements for Investigator-Initiated Applications.
NIH brings in people from the research community for major process changes, such as those to peer review and scoring. For example, for the enhancing peer review effort, it conducted a one-year planning and evaluation process that you can read about on Enhancing Peer Review at NIH and 2007-2008 NIH Peer Review Self-Study Final Draft.
The external Advisory Committee was co-chaired by Dr. Keith Yamamoto of the University of California, San Francisco, and NIH's Dr. Lawrence Tabak, director of NIDCR.
Working groups solicited formal input from key stakeholders, including at open meetings in different parts of the country to get feedback. As a result of these meetings, the group's final plans changed dramatically. NIH followed a similar process for previous major changes it has undertaken.
For more minor changes, such as small modifications to the review criteria, NIH may involve only internal stakeholders, usually through committees such as its Peer Review Advisory Committee.
Read more at How does NIH decide new policy? and find more committees at How does NIH coordinate policy changes among the institutes?
See these and older announcements at NIAID Funding Opportunities List.

Features : Gruelling schedule takes toll on Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka v India at Colombo (RPS)
India tour of Sri Lanka
Big Picture
India's win on Saturday has left Sri Lanka needing to win both remaining matches if they are to take the series. None of the players involved in the series had made their ODI debuts when India last lost a bilateral series in Sri Lanka - that was way back in 1997, when Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva were at the peak of their powers.India's successful chase of 287 was the sort of result which would have been extremely unlikely on the pre-World Cup Premadasa track where batting under lights was a challenge. On Saturday, on a pitch with little in it for the bowlers, both sides showed off some high-class one-day batting. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, as they have done countless times before, revived the Sri Lankan innings with unhurried ease, knocking the singles around. That set the stage for Angelo Mathews and Jeevan Mendis to explode at the end, as India leaked 97 in the final ten. For India, it was Gautam Gambhir who top scored with a controlled innings of 102, where he highlighted his nifty footwork against both pace and spin, before Suresh Raina extended a rewarding recent ODI run, with this third half-century in five innings.
The run-fest raised questions about the strength of both sides' bowling. The spearheads, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga, did their job, but the support seamers rarely threatened and the spinners could, at best, contain the runs. Isuru Udana hasn't been an adequate replacement for the injured Nuwan Kulasekara, and India's gamble on Ashok Dinda didn't pay off either.
Form guide
Watch out for...
Jeevan Mendis took 5 for 76 in the last two ODIs he played in 2011 before he dropped off Sri Lanka's one-day plans, perhaps because he failed with the bat. Given another chance in the final ODI against Pakistan last month, he stepped up with a tight spell, and also a steady 19 towards the end of a tight chase. He boosted his case for a longer run in the side, with a hard-hitting 45 on Saturday, which justified his promotion over the in-form Thisara Perera.India's death bowling has long been a problem area. In the third ODI, Zaheer bowled eight of his overs in the first two Powerplays, leaving Irfan Pathan and Dinda to finish out the innings. With the strategy of using two fast bowlers to end the innings not working for India, perhaps it is time they used R Ashwin at the death.
Team news
There have already been plenty of headlines about Rohit Sharma's prolonged lean spell, and his golden duck on Saturday is likely to have opened the door for Manoj Tiwary. Legspinner Rahul Sharma did well enough to merit another chance, but Dinda didn't, which could mean that Umesh Yadav will return.India: (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 5 Manoj Tiwary, 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Umesh Yadav, 11 Rahul Sharma
Sangakkara's finger injury means he will miss only his second ODI in more than two years. The only other one he sat out was a one-dayer against Scotland in 2011. He could be replaced by Lahiru Thirimanne, with Dinesh Chandimal stepping in as wicketkeeper. Udana could be left out after two underwhelming matches, with Nuwan Pradeep as his replacement.
Sri Lanka: (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Upul Tharanga, 3 Dinesh Chandimal (wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Jeevan Mendis, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Nuwan Pradeep, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Rangana Herath
Stats and trivia
"We had a plan to score four to five hundreds as individual batsmen and we have done it twice. Virat [Kohli] and Gautam [Gambhir] scored hundreds, Viru (Virender Sehwag) fell short but, our goal is yet to be reached."Siddarth Ravindran is a senior sub-editor at ESPNcricinfo

By Earl Vaughan Jr. Scholastic sports editor
Terry Sanford High's Gil Bowman, one of the longest tenured and most successful coaches in Cumberland County history, is retiring for health reasons, effective immediately.
Bowman, who coached girls' basketball and girls' and boys' tennis at Terry Sanford High School, submitted his resignation Sunday to Terry Sanford principal David Haggerty. He has been a teacher and coach at the school for almost 41 years.
For the past four years, Bowman said he has been battling chronic lymphocitic leukemia. The treatments he has been undergoing for the disease recently have made it difficult for him to continue his coaching duties.
"I was either sick or lethargic,'' he said. "I just have no energy. The main thing is I have to be concerned with my health.''
Haggerty said Terry Sanford can only hope to find someone half as good as Bowman to fill the void he will leave on the coaching staff. "We hope the best for him,'' Haggerty said. "It will be impossible to replace Gil.''
Gerri Williams, Bowman's assistant coach, will serve as interim head coach for the girls' basketball team for the remainder of this season. The team is off to a 2-0 start. A replacement for Bowman for the tennis teams has not been named.
Bowman was inducted into the Fayetteville Sports Club Hall of Fame in 2009. At the time his girls' tennis teams had a record of 339-36 while his boys' teams were 532-40. He coached multiple state champions in team, singles and doubles competition.
His basketball record at the time was 463-278, and he guided three teams to state title games.
"You put your heart and soul into something and it's kind of hard to walk away from it,'' Bowman said. "I knew a time would come eventually and if there is such a thing as a good time, this was a good time to walk away.''

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe Copenhagen meeting accomplished all it could. The warming data that was used as evidence was faulty. There is absolutely no evidence that man-made emmisions are the main cause of the warming trend that has been occurring for 10,000 years with minor spurts of cooling (such as that during the past 10 years in the U.S.). There are many causes of climate change. CO2 in the atmosphere is only one cause. A more significant cause of greenhouse gas is water vapor. Methane is also a major contributor. The driving force for change is the sun. It always has been and always will be. The sun drives the atmosphere, the ocean circulations patterns in conjunction with the position of the continents, and goes through many cycles of energy output. A greater concern to mankind should be the acidification of the oceans and its affect on the food chain rather than increases in worldwide temperatures. Although parts of the Antarctic ice sheet are shrinking, other parts are growing and sea level has not changed significantly for hundreds of years.
Sea level has changed quickly many times in the geologic past with temperature fluctuations much greater than what we currently record. In conclusion, the Copenhagen meeting was an attempt by poor countries to fleese the rich countries of capital and independence in an attempt to create a world government.
The socialist/communist trending government in the U.S. is falling right into the hands of these misfits.
You are so blind to anything contravening your beliefs.

House Republicans getting started on a measure that would extend the debt ceiling for nearly four months and the White House just sent the president.
Would sign it let's get reaction from Republican congressman Joseph Barton.
Texas congressman Barton the president the White House Jay Carney just coming -- at a briefing in saying that he would approve of this.
Do you believe the president is is being artist and his convictions on the debt ceiling extension.
Well it's good news that he's agreed in principle to sign the bill we're gonna -- on hopefully tomorrow.
That gives us through May the eighteenth to come up with a plan to really reform government reform spending reduce spending.
And then pass a permanent debt ceiling increase for the remainder of this year.
We -- to give the president the senate Democrats an opportunity to work with us but house Republicans are absolutely committed.
To addressing the spending issue straight up in the next three months three and a half months -- and night gets the job done.
You -- is clear and and I and I look to your voting record and you did vote no on the fiscal club despite the fact that that -- -- what deal did pass and here we are now at the same time.
Senator junction parties making out on the democratic side saying sure.
Won't look at this but we're also gonna wanna increase taxes I mean that was a flat -- -- from senator Schumer is the senate -- kind of rain on this for -- income.
Well the city -- on every parade every day so that's not.
-- flash there but.
You know.
We did I did I've voted against raising taxes on any American.
But the majority in the house and the senate in the presence and its on taxes had to go up by disagreed with that.
I do not think the house Republican leadership is going to be needing -- I know the rank and file is not going to be in any many.
To raise taxes doesn't mean we can raise some revenue with oil and gas royalties sales -- masses sales and thanks like that but in terms of tax increases.
I think every house Republican.
Would vote no -- -- tax increase OK we -- focused on spending reductions.
In and spending reductions and and I know that at that you wouldn't and many of your Republican.
Colleagues and -- -- the house have said that that entitlement programs have to be addressed but if you -- call.
And I'm -- you do back into December senator Harry -- an absolutely.
There is gonna be no discussion of it and cutting any type of atomic program whether it is Social Security or Medicare.
Or Medicaid.
But aren't you going to propose those plans.
Any way and -- work that's yet.
Well two thirds of federal spending is entitlement spending only 13 of federal spending.
Is discretionary this year to year so if you really got to balance the budget in and I think house Republicans are serious about balancing the budget.
You have to do reform of the entitlement programs right doesn't mean that people are -- -- -- have your Social Security checks reduced or anything like that.
But the basic programs can be reformed can be changed so that there's something for not just this generation but future generations.
All right well congressman -- -- -- watching all this play out because it will be affecting Americans across this country many investors -- thank you congressman -- for being here.
And this is the bill HR 325 that should be on the floor sometime tomorrow I can't -- and away we let's say and then we'll see -- props on television congressman thank you -- but they're exhibit.
It's likely that.

-- shortly in the meantime.
From when unions go not to when politicians just go nowhere.
Another day closer to the -- my friends that no sign yet we're civil not headed toward that cliff god knows I tried.
Since is sort of bridge the gap guess -- -- was in Washington but.
Superhero not on only one guy.
-- that here's the problem both sides are still hurling insults at one another.
With little time to always forget about a deal done by the end of the year as you saw yesterday when I was in Washington realistic -- They have to cobble together at least the framework of a deal by Friday.
At the latest here's why it would take that long just to get something marked -- conference down and ultimately voted on.
And signed by the president -- states all my years then.
Wisconsin Republican senator Ron -- to be here to say so hard so I guess not so good -- senator.
What we are doing.
They're gonna problem -- is you have one side negotiating did say putting -- real polls on the table to solve our problems.
And -- the other side not negotiate in good faith.
Not putting real proposals your presence budget he'll spend his last two -- -- been -- around three times.
Find a -- easier to 610 so that's the real problem is you don't have.
Equal partners working good faith in this -- got Republicans who are working good faith in president who's not.
Well -- I know you who are Republican that's your point of view and I understand but.
But it it is fair to say that you're not without -- sides -- outs and I mean.
You haven't specified.
How you're gonna get those 800 billion in revenues.
So while you have a let's put somebody on the table where revenues are on the table but -- to be committed -- that it's not as if on -- you're going to great detail.
-- to -- -- we'll hear from from first colonial to them the houses actually past two budgets which included proposals to actually save Medicare which is the the largest.
Problem in terms of driving -- debt and deficit.
And the other that's the first point second point is that we don't want to harm economic growth and the other problem is -- Obama has been in office now for almost four years.
He is never concentrated on growing our economy which is the number one solution the problem what he's concentrated on his -- government.
He has no intention nor the Democrats in the senate.
To limit the rate of growth in government and is result they have no plan for doing so also you know he campaigned on this balanced approach just reduction.
His tax increase is only gonna solve about her fifth you don't well yeah yeah -- -- deficit.
Talking what's his and I think you're right -- the US I don't talking about obviously senator senator -- I know -- tacit deal about this and you've been consistent on this.
But we're beyond that I guess what I'm asking you is you feel very strongly about this a number of your Republican colleagues in the senate -- -- with a much added yesterday.
Marco Rubio with a much -- -- yesterday echoed your concerns so.
I get a sense for many the Republican Party revenues themselves.
Are -- are not acceptable is that right.
Don't revenues -- but the -- you get revenues were on the economy just a couple numbers.
Even with the meager economic growth growth we've had since 2009.
Federal revenues increased by 344.
Billion dollars we just return to a normal economy like we end 2007 when revenues eighteen Hampshire ever economy.
That's another over 400 billion dollars you combine that that 750 billion dollars per year of additional revenue vs the president's proposal.
Somewhere between 3475.
Billion dollars a tenth.
What economic growth.
Produces and let's face it might.
Punishing success by increasing taxes you gonna put at risk that economic growth.
So that does that not semi automatic you had a deal that revenues in -- whether they -- rate hikes are.
I don't know what this other idea closing loopholes -- -- exemptions allowances for the -- -- either one you'd be against.
-- I'm off for pro growth tax reform but what we actually need to see is a real plan proposal do do we know we're trying to compromise with.
And that's we're simply not getting out of this president.
That's what's required which we have to actually see in the should be debated in public this is absurd.
What's happening once again you got a couple of elected officials with their unelected staffs going behind closed doors trying to do backroom deal.
To what save the financial future American in the -- -- a couple weeks.
The senate should pass a budget we should have a budget resolution to committee should be -- -- the stuff debating these very serious issues we're -- and how rapidly this deadline on.
I -- -- -- what we need about.
All work -- be able to do here is because the president -- -- -- He holds all the cards he's the only man -- can sign a bill for preventing tax increases so.
We may have to do fault fallback position where we're just trying to minimize the damage I don't wanna -- complicit in raising any American's taxes -- -- harm economic growth.
That's good -- in the wrong direction.
Alright senator thank you very very much sudden it never -- shorthand on on that is we're not close we're not close at all mean.

Lindsay Lohan wasn't getting anything by the TSA agents at New York's JFK airport.
She was pulled out of the security line before a flight to L.A. on Wednesday for a thorough pat-down. A video obtained by TMZ shows Linds stepping to the side and waiting to make her way to the terminal as a female agent makes sure the troubled actress isn't carrying anything illegal. She wasn't.
LiLo, who's heading to rehab in a few weeks, is expected to attend the Coachella Music Festival this weekend. Her father Michael tells TMZ he thinks it's "one of the worst ideas she's ever had." He also says rehab isn't going to work for his daughter.
Nice to know she has the support of her father...oh wait...

This show is very revealing...almost as revealing as the photos of the Inaugural Luncheon with all the crystal, linen, china, flowers, and silver. Did you read the luncheon menu that Moochie Obama was shoveling into her maw? (That woman didn´t swallow one bite before she shoved in another!) Talk about elite-and criminal, that would be they!
I can´t tell you how cheered up I am by this story as I contemplate my plan to go change the oil on my 13 yr old truck. Oh well, at least I´m contributing to the wealth and happiness of the beltway. What else matters?
I´m reminded of the late Sam Kineson´s advice to the other side of the spectrum "Go where the food is!"
Our tax dollars at "work"...
Stories like this remind me of "The Hunger Games."
The "Boomtown" program lays bare the knowledge that the so called politically informed who sit on "the panel" during Bret Baier´s show know all about Boomtown, and how the political elite permanent ruling class system works, yet not a peep escapes to the rest of the country.All of the "talking heads" shame America and the taxpayers who can barely hold their lives together. Throw them all out.
May I request these "Boomtown" articles about D.C. and the wealth extraction be put in must reads? This information needs wide dissemination. Breitbart is here, there and everywhere now.I´d like to see the real robber barons exposed.
A good enough reason to impose term limits on these scoundrels. I don´t believe our Founding Fathers had in mind an entrenched elite with virtual lifetime sinecures ruling the country. I believe Maryland ranks near the top in numbers of millionaires. D.C. would be shockingly high too but for the number being dragged down by inner cit poor. Hrumph.
Hannity´s Boomtown is being airing again tonight on FOX. If you missed it Friday, try and catch it tonight. I don´t care which side of the aisle you are on, it should make you mad. We are all being played.
And Ferrari opened up a new dealership in Tehran.Follow the money and don´t believe what you read or see on TV.
That does it! I´m never buying a Lamborghini. /s
How about an interactive Google map of Lamborghini owners in and around DC. Add party affiliation and occupation.
Where did they move from, Peoria?
Does it stand to reason they would ´follow the money´ ? Did we not read last week that the money is in DC ?Nobody seems to care that many of our lawmakers were on the verge of bankruptcy and couldn´t pay their taxes, but are now millionaires.

About eight people (K.Balamurugan, P.Kalyani, M.Kanthasamy, P.V.Ramesh, M.Nagarajan, P.A.Lucia, A.K.Arumugam, V.Antony Cruz) moved to the Madras High Court in the year 2007 under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to stop the construction of the college. There were two Miscellaneous Petitions and ultimately the court allowed the construction of the college and directed the state government to take care of water harvesting in the area to control the depleting groundwater level.
This case (W.P. No.26314 of 2007 and M.P. Nos.1 & 2 of 2008) has been settled in the Madras HC. The followings are the highlights of court judgement, government and citizens' actions.
A report by the District Collector dated 12.08.2008, along with the photographs taken during the visit was also filed.
Consequent upon the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.602, dated 19.10.2007, the Tahsildar, Villupuram carried out changes in the Village / Taluka accounts in respect of Survey No.144/1 and other Survey numbers incorporating the name of the Government Medical College as against the original entries of the respective water bodies.

Video: Meet Dr. Kuhlmann and learn about the Fetal Concerns Center of Wisconsin
Our highly trained physicians and nurses partner with your physician to offer the best care for you and your family. About 70 percent of babies seen at the center are born at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Birth Center located inside Children's Hospital. This means the mother nor the baby needs to be sent to another facility, no matter what complications arise.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital provides the highest level of care available to newborns in the state and can respond immediately to urgent needs of the baby. Learn more:

Having mother and baby under one roof makes it easier for the mother to breastfeed, bond with her baby and allows for families to meet face-to-face with their baby's care providers. It also makes it easier for family members to visit.
Not all babies will need emergency medical care. If this is the case, you can deliver your baby at the hospital of your choice. During your pregnancy, the Fetal Concerns Center can help you plan for your baby's follow-up care by providing education and counseling. Learn more about our services.

Screenplay : Jonathan Hensleigh and J.J. Abrams
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 1998
Stars : Bruce Willis (Harry S. Stamper), Billy Bob Thornton (Dan Truman), Liv Tyler (Grace Stamper), Ben Affleck (A.J. Frost), Steve Buscemi (Rockhound), Will Patton (Charles "Chick" Chapple), Peter Stormare (Lev Andropov), Keith David (General Kimsey), Owen Wilson (Oscar Choi), William Fichtner (Col. William Sharp)
"Armageddon," Michael Bay's ear-splitting, mind-numbing space adventure about a group of average Joe's trying to save the world from a meteor, is two and a half hours of sensory overload. Too long, too loud, and featuring more camera movement and fast edits than ten other movies put together, "Armageddon" will be a powerful test of how far action directors can push the line before they wear audiences to a frazzle. If this isn't the limit, then I don't want to be in a theater when some other movie finally pushes past it.
The movie posits the idea that the meteor the size of Texas is headed for earth, and it will hit in eighteen days. We are told that this is a "global killer," and no matter where it hits, all life will be extinguished, right down to the bacteria. Of course, the notion that no astronomer noticed this meteor until smaller fragments actually enter earth's atmosphere and destroy a good portion of New York is a bit hard to swallow. However, this is crucial because the entire movie hinges on the notion that time is of the essence.
Bruce Willis stars as Harry Stamper, the world's best deep core oil driller, who is tapped by NASA to save the world. The idea is this: fly up to the meteor, drill an 800-foot hole in the center of it, drop in a nuclear bomb, and blow the thing apart from the inside. If everything goes according to plan, that should split the meteor in two, and the two halves will sail by harmlessly. Of course, in "Armageddon," absolutely nothing goes according to plan.
The last sixty minutes is literally a marathon of audience endurance, where only the die-hard action fan will walk out of the theater without blurred vision, ringing ears, and a sore back. The last third of movie can't really be described in terms of "action scenes" because the whole thing is one endless action scene. Once landed on the meteor, Stamper and his crew of charismatic roughnecks encounter a laundry list of problems that never cease: drillbits are broken, turbines explode, characters fight amongst themselves, the government conspires against them, the nuclear weapon almost explodes, gas fissures erupt, and just about every working device on the space shuttle fails when it is needed most.
While scenes of this nature are usually employed to generate suspense, in "Armageddon" they are so plentiful and so obtuse that you feel deadened to any excitement by the time the movie is half over. The overload of swinging, vibrating camera shots, screaming actors, and endless explosions creates a kind of desensitization that makes you crave silence and stillness. On gets the feeling that Bay was constantly looking for things to blow up for no apparent plot purpose: he destroys a couple of space shuttles, the Mir Space Station, and, even though the entire point of the movie is to save mankind from the meteor, he goes ahead and kills 50,000 people in Korea and obliterates most of Paris with some smaller meteors, just for good measure.
One of the worst aspects of the film is how ugly it is to look at. Cinematographer John Schwartzman, who did such a fantastic job of making Bay's last movie, "The Rock," into a visually-enticing comic book in motion, makes "Armageddon" dense and difficult. Much of the action that takes place on the meteor is shot in thick, inky shades of black and blue, which added to Bay's constantly swinging camera, makes the action almost impossible to decipher. You usually have to wait to hear somebody shouting to learn what's actually happening, and when someone is killed, it isn't until the camera moves in for a close-up of the face that realize who it was.
Amidst all this turmoil are a few obligatory human stories, some of which work better than others. The main one is a love triangle of sorts, with Stamper casting disapproving eyes on the relationship between his independent daughter, Grace (Liv Tyler), and his best oil driller and surrogate son, A.J. (Ben Affleck). Some of the scenes between these three are vaguely moving, but only as pure melodrama.
Steve Buscemi slinks through the movie as the mandatory comic relief, although some of his asides and chattery comments, which usually take place during the most violent action, become a bit wearisome. Billy Bob Thornton is pleasantly enjoyable as Dan Truman, the executive director of NASA's Mission Control in Houston. He acts with enough earnest to convey the requisite amount of gravity (we are talking about the end of the world, after all) to keep his scenes from being completely ridiculous. Peter Stormare, playing a Russian astronaut taken on board after the Mir Space Station self-destructs (or something), is the complete opposite: his acting is wildly delirious and campy, and sometimes quite funny.
"Armageddon" will most likely be compared to this year's other meteor-headed-for-earth flick, "Deep Impact," but I would like to suggest that it bears more uncanny similarities to James Cameron's 1989 underwater saga, "The Abyss." Notice: both movies involve plots where the government requisitions a motley oil drilling crew to perform a top secret mission; both movies involve a tense scene where a nuclear bomb is being disarmed and the disarmer isn't sure which wire needs to be cut and therefore has to guess; in "The Abyss" a character goes crazy from High Pressure Nervous Syndrome, in "Armageddon" a character goes crazy from Space Dementia (whatever that is); and both movies feature a climatic scene where a major character has to sacrifice himself to save others (although in "The Abyss" it involves disarming a nuclear warhead while "Armageddon" has the character detonating it).
While "Armageddon" isn't all bad, most of it is just overwrought. If it had been toned down about fifty decibels and slowed up enough to allow the audience to keep pace, it could have been an exciting, pulpish space adventure about heroism, patriotism, and all those other -ism's that make comic books so much fun to read. Unfortunately, "Armageddon" feels more like getting hit over the head repeatedly with a whole stack of comic books, and it is memorable only as long as the headache it inflicts lasts.

Capsule endoscopy camera |
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. The camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist or over your shoulder.
Capsule endoscopy helps doctors see inside your small intestine — an area that isn't easily reached with conventional endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy can be used by adults and by children who can swallow the capsule. The procedure is usually started in a doctor's office.

We've heard the major-party candidates for president debate on the economy, on their philosophies of government, on foreign policy. What you won't hear in televised debates is much attention given to scientific issues. However, these issues make a difference to our lives and to our country's future.
This is why 14 science and technology questions were presented to both campaigns. Each was given a chance to answer such questions as:
And many more. Their answers were published in early September.
This Sunday, Shawn Lawrence Otto, one of the founders of the organization than ensures that science questions are asked and answered, joins us to compare the candidates' answers to these important questions. Even if you already know where your vote will be going, listen to find out what your candidate's science priorities are.

Developing Messages
Federal, state, and local policymakers, citizens groups, healthcare providers, community partners, and the general public each play a role in public health. Effective communicators tailor messages to their audiences. To develop messages that resonate effectively with target audiences, you will need to know why a specific audience needs to know about your work and why it is important to them. For example, if the goal is to increase flu surveillance capacity, you may develop one set of points to convince local officials to allocate funds but use a different set of points to persuade local residents to wash their hands to help prevent the flu. Once you know your audience well enough to develop targeted messages, be sure to do the following: Communicate clearly to the audience. Specify your request. Provide a reward that your audience cares about. Make the reward believable by providing evidence to back it up. Use vivid and appropriate images. Choose the right moment. Choose the right messenger. Remember, knowing your target audience and their characteristics, concerns, and values is the first step to effective messaging. A strong message should tell the audience the information they need to know, including what actions to take and what impacts the policy, program, or event could have on people's lives. Effective communication is not about you, it is about them. Fact sheets contained in the Communications Toolkit also provide examples of effective public health messages. |

The Catalyst PTs Saltwater Casting Reel is redesigned and sporting a brand new look. The Catalyst and the Energy are the newest additions to Quantum's Saltwater Casting Reel stable. Designed for inshore saltwater fishing, these reels are small, light, fast and strong. Don't let the small size and light weight fool you though, these reels have the power to pull the meanest of reds back to the boat. The sleek design and light weight simply allow you to fish longer comfortably. Built with corrosion resistant parts and material, these are quality reels.
Saltgard 6-layer corrosion protection finish - developed with marine expers, protects the reel with a dense molecular barrier, 6 layers in all - designed to stand up to saltwater abuse.
CNC Machined aluminum frame, side cover and front support - The one-piece design provides a solid foundation for the PT drive train and means less wear and tear on the moving components for less maintenance.
ACS II externally adjustable centrifugal braking - the external dial allows you to adjust the centrifugal brakes to perfectly match your fishing situation, without having to disassemble the reel.
Ceramic drag system - special ceramic coating provides more consistency and dissipates heat much more quickly. This translates into better wear and less maintenance.
Dual PT-bearing Continuous Anti-Reverse - provides a fail-proof, rock-solid hooksets with absolutely zero backblay
Super Free Spool pinion design - allows the spool to "float" on the drive train, which creates less friction and contributes to the smoothness of the reel.
Easy Access lube port
Light-weight aluminum handle

Comments: Not so hot. Only four brake control adjustments....not 16+ like most magnetic braking system., Lightly used and the paint around the top of the reel is bubbling up/about to crack off...not good- this is supposed to be a SALTWATER reel. $150 isn't high end but it should definitely deliver more than said issues. If you ave any hope of getting back into the game Quantum, you need to buck up!
From: Dom: Fort Myers, FL
Comments: I purchased this reel for flippin and was dissapointed with the ability to free spool. The flipping distance was not to my standards. I casted it a few times in my pool and immediately regretted my purchase. Luckily the excellent staff at tackle warehouse allowed me to exchange it for a curado e7. That type of service ensured I will never buy a reel from anywhere else. The drag system however had the stopping power of a 50. cal. Overall this is a good reel just not what I was looking for thanks tackle warehouse!
From: Fraeday: Vista
Comments:Very nice reels!! I don't like the orange color of the freshwater Catalyst so this is a very nice option!!!
From:Mike: Brighton, MI
Comments:CI purchased the Saltwater Catalyst PTs for freshwater use and I couldn't be happier with it. I've fished with it for about six months now and have bought two more. A really fine reel.

I've been lurking around here for a long time, being a Rock Band addict, but it finally took RBN to make me register an account. Hey everyone, it's a First Post Party! Woot!
I'm a musician and music software developer, so RBN is definitely my sort of thing. I'm eager to offer up music from myself, my collaborators, and projects I've produced.
So now I've had my First Success! I've taken an old track, bashed the audio into the proper stems and tracked the vocal as a MIDI note part (all in SONAR), and exported it all for subsequent import into Reaper... which I haven't used since 2007 or so! My, but things have changed since then.
So there was a learning-curve to bust with both Reaper and Magma. Some of those error messages from compiling are downright *arcane*! And the documentation is still "sketchy" at best. But with a liberal amount of trial and error, and an overall hacker work-ethic, I managed to break through the haze to achieve some clarity.
All told, start to finish, it took me 5 hours to remix/export my audio and learn the system enough to author a song with *only* a vocal part. But hey, First Success! And the tracks to follow will benefit from all the lessons learned and come quicker and quicker.
Of course, then there was a small battle with Audition mode. Had to re-up my Live Gold account, which I'd let lapse. Registered for XNA Premium membership. Then... nada. The Audition screen still locked me out. After poking around with my router and firewall settings, I eventually gave up to go catch a shower, in hopes that a little time would let my new membership data propagate to the necessary servers.
Sure enough, when I returned, Audition mode would now let me through! I then set up Magma to find the 360, sent my file, and I was in.
They say you'll always remember your first:
Expert Vocals: 3***, 83%
...but perhaps not fondly! Yes, I must admit that I take this as my First Failure, performing so abysmally on my *own* song. But it served to teach me points for improvement, mainly better following of pitch glides in the MIDI data since I don't exactly sing the song "straight".
And so we live and learn. Having gone through these initial hard knocks, I'm still very excited about the remaining upcoming challenges, such as learning the ins and outs of charting the actual instruments, and particularly Venue animation. Gonna be a lot of fun.
I hope everyone else who got the "late start" of waiting for the public beta is also meeting with some encouraging successes amidst their (hopefully comedic) failures. Please keep in touch and add your experiences to the community for those that follow!
Hugs, kisses, sympathy,

Julia wears traffic-stopping eyecolor and mega lashes in this look from our Volum' Express® The Colossal Mascara ad. Recreate our heroic "Colossal Eyes" at home in 4 easy steps.
Use Eye Studio® Color Plush™ Silk Eyeshadow in Purple Icon to get Julia's look. Sweep lightest shade over eye from lash line to brow bone, using the wider side of the applicator. Apply next-darkest shade across the full lid using the tapered end of brush, blending as you go.
Line darkest shade on upper lash line with tapered end of the brush for added intensity. For more impact, deepen shade in crease and line upper and lower lash line.
Apply Maybelline's Volum' Express® The Colossal Mascara to lashes. Sweep brush upwards from root to tip to plump individual lashes and achieve dramatic lashes. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line.
For the full Colossal look, wear Color Sensational® Lipcolor in Pink Wink. Apply a few coats directly from the tube to your entire lip for full-on color. And for a little extra shine, add a coat of Shine Sensational Lipgloss!
