On clarion and so the president -- their noses and -- in executive privilege regarding the fashion curious.
-- -- -- -- Well I think I think Republicans and so mr.
Glover and allow others sterilized is you know just that this was his big -- -- to get a lot of attention.
-- that you -- you look at it this this is something that presents to both parties have used before it's not that shocking.
George W.
Bush -- executive privilege six times.
Republicans on the total mention that a lot Bill Clinton used it fourteen times -- -- in the negative side important for the president.
Usually these presidents use it -- their back is against the wall -- there's something they don't want the public to see and that's the big question what does the administration not want the public to see.
And that enables Republicans.
Just to suggest that they're covering something about.
Because you know look.
-- have you bush used executive as a connection between you know in the middle of the US attorney scandal for example -- the don't want Karl Rove to testify -- what was really going on there.
Bill Clinton why did -- use executive privilege so many titled between Paula Jones and -- -- -- those -- all kind of assorted parts of his administration.
And I -- love -- America.
-- -- And look at an -- for this president.
Even if there's there's an important principle at stake here which is making sure that you're your advisors have the ability.
To share information amongst themselves about how they're responding to a scandal like this.
Without congress rooting around that the principle that presence of both parties have -- before.
It -- the president directly for the first time to -- up -- -- To up fast and furious in a way that that -- never had before this was an ugly gun running operation that resulted in the federal agents getting gunned down.
It's a pretty sordid story.
And even if there's an important principle at stake to -- needed to protect it drags the president into a pretty ugly story.
-- on the courses on the same day.
But to house committee voted to hold -- attorney general and Plimpton -- what does that mean.
Well so now the full house will probably vote on -- next -- speaker Boehner has given the green light to that.
In the US attorney in Washington this assuming that goes through.
We'll start looking at criminal these these are essentially criminal charges against the attorney general that's extraordinary it is.
Men -- -- is but obviously that's gonna take some time attorney general fight that cities are trumped up and whatnot and get -- -- You know thrown into court at some point and in the I think it's highly doubtful.
That this is resolved.
Between now and November.
I think what it is is a more explosive political story obviously.
You know and on the positive side for Republicans I think they believe they're getting -- pound of flesh on the attorney general that they don't think it's been straight with them.
I think there's a lot of Republican conservative voters around the country are fired up about certain period.
And and this probably maybe get some a little more excited to go to the polls in November however.
How many.
Voters -- conservative who fired up about fast and -- were planning to vote for Barack Obama yesterday and the day before I'd I'd probably put the number zero.
You know -- and so it's probably at the end of the day what the White House is hoping is.
That it becomes an overreach among Republicans.
And they can -- up there and say.
Look wire the Republicans on the hill focused on jobs in the economy which is with the presence as usual result Mitt Romney physical focus on.
Though it is may be some ugly -- for the president for a few days no doubt about it.
But I think that the White House -- banking -- the -- -- between now and November independent voters -- to decide these elections.
-- gonna be more concerned about jobs in the economy.
-- fast and furious however that's not good news for the president either because jobs in the economy are not doing well this is life.
When you go crossed the line this has been a pretty rough month for the president to get data on top of that any day now we're gonna find out the fate of -- healthcare law.
And indications are that they could very well be be brought down and so.
Across the board he is facing a pretty rough time.
Forging delay -- Israel -- Energy White House correspondent for fox -- has.
During -- impression -- Carl Jeffers.
-- the matters jacked up on some Ghana.
Exotic street -- burning only got a -- and other horses fly to take a breath he's got the information at all not the other way -- that -- out.
A -- -- a Mike Baker just say are you telling no.
-- former CIA guy counterterrorism dive reporting errors.
And they said these -- these fast and furious operations.
Are fairly routine and so.
And I -- -- throughout sold well but what's at issue here which is obvious.
Does the third now lying about what they know what NATO which brings me into this observation.
If I'm right here.
That if the president is invoking.
The executive privilege it to -- to that tends to suggest.
That maybe he didn't know something about it we're sure to foreign but said he didn't.
-- -- -- there's an important distinction that you're putting the finger right on -- party which is that.
The White House says maintaining that the president.
Did not have any knowledge of the actual gun running operation.
They -- not contradicting that with this executive privilege move.
Because what the executive privilege move is about document -- the Justice Department.
Dealing with the re act.
Action true that scandal to the fast and furious operation the gun running operation that went bad and so what they're saying it.
The president or at least -- senior advisors.
May have been -- -- On deliberations about how to respond to their -- how to respond to media organization to poke around on this story.
It does not mean that the president was looped in on the gun running operation at least as far as we know it's more about the -- Aftermath of -- -- gun running operation so so so that it sort of two separate things.
Nonetheless it drags the.
The president here plus would you think they're hiding.
-- -- -- What does did not want the public to see there may -- legitimate things about.
You know how the Justice Department wanted to responded what their strategy -- That has nothing nefarious or nothing criminal or learn -- -- like that is -- stress that may be the case.
But once you start shielding information potentially thousands of pages of documents.
That it raises some court now we should also know which is about always pointed out that Eric -- has already turned over about 8000 document so.
You know -- I've been through -- on both sides where where the Democrats running congress they'd be pressuring the bush administration for documents.
And you know the Bush Administration turn over 5000 pages something that the Democrats -- where process so one another 5000 that at some point.
You know this morning -- well we're gonna have to leave it there have been man you're fired up this morning in -- last -- you know you want wanna.

I tried this dress on over a year ago, when I was still living in California. It's hard to forget that day because, sadly, this dress is the one that got away.
Passing the time at Anthropologie, I stumbled across this chromatic canvas dress. It appealed to me because it was so artistic! The textile design reminds me of color field paintings. Color field painting is an abstract style of art that surfaced in post-war New York and gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. Major artists of this movement included Mark Rothko (1903-1970) and Barnett Newman (1905-1970).
So what happened? I loved the dress, and immediately thought of several places I could wear it. After exiting the dressing room, my then-boyfriend made a face. He didn't like it – it was too "artsy" for his taste. My enthusiasm was crushed. He hated it. I left the store dejected – and without the dress.
Dressing room confession? Never shop with someone that doesn't understand your personal style. Being a creative/artistic type, my then-boyfriend couldn't related to my style (he worked for a corporation). Ironically, I broke up with him a few months later because our views on life were just fundamentally too different.
Perhaps fashion choices can predict relationship success rates. I don't regret the breakup, but I definitely regret not buying the dress.

I am a bit of a fan of history and I love the history you find in cemeteries. My favorites are the old pioneer cemeteries of the west.
For those of you that are looking for forgotten relatives, loved ones, friends and family, I just want to say to you that I do what I do here on Find A Grave for you. No one should be forgotten! We all may not be rich, or powerful, or have invented great things but we all made a difference in some way and we deserve to be remembered for the differences we made. If just by creating a memorial page I feel that I have done something to remember that person and that they did live and that they did matter.
The information on the memorials that I have added is only as good as the information I had to work with from the beginning. I am sure that there are many mistakes and I will correct every one that I can but if fellow contributor finds something wrong that still needs to be corrected, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Transfers: If you are interested, just ask! I am not hung up on the findagrave.com policies, all that is important to me is that you are better able to add to the memorial than I am. You don't have to be directly related, just willing and able to make the page better.
To all the Find A Grave photographers out there: if you have a picture to post that is better than one that I have posted, please do and then let me know. If I agree, I will gladly remove mine in order to avoid cluttering up the memorial page.
Someday I know I'll have my own headstone and if I am lucky enough, this is the epitaph that will be on it:
The Measure of a Man
Not "How did he die?"
But, "How did he live?"
Not "What did he gain?"
But, "What did he give?"
These are the units
to measure the worth
of a man, as a man,
regardless of birth.
Not "What was his station?
But, "Had he a heart?"
And "How did he play
his God given part?"
Was he ever ready
with a word of good cheer,
to bring back a smile,
to banish a tear?'
Not "What was his church?"
Nor "What was his creed?"
But, "Had he befriended
those really in need?"
Not "What did the sketch
in the newspaper say?"
But "How many were sorry
when he passed away!"
If you're still reading, maybe you'd like to stop by and say Hi! to very special friend. I lost her eight years ago but she is still missed everyday,

San Luis Cemetery
Ron, Are you by chance currently working on this cemetery or might know who would be right now? I happened to notice that the total Find A Grave burial number for this cemetery has decreased recently by about 5. I know there are duplicates due to cemetery mergers so that would be a good thing.
But then I noticed that my 81 memorial added to this cemetery are suddenly down to 78. If I had mistakenly added any dups, no problem, but no one has written to me about dups or transfers, etc. Nada.
Just curious. At this point I can't know which 3 of mine might be gone but just would like to know what happened.
Any help you can give me?

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took the hot seat Wednesday in what will likely be her final appearance before Congress as America's top diplomat.
The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee is examining the State Department's response to the September 11th terrorist attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya.
Four Americans died and an independent review found inadequate security and leadership left the post vulnerable.
Clinton blamed a lack of funding, in part, for the inadequacies.
She also says the department is now making more than two dozen changes to security and leadership.
"Nobody wants to sit where I am and have to think now about couldah, shouldah - wouldah happened in order to avoid this," she said.
Republicans insisted she testify in person about whether the administration mislead the public
when United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice blamed the attack on protests over a controversial video.
"With all due respect - the fact is - we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can - to prevent it from ever happening again," an emotional Clinton replied.
Clinton described the situation as complicated and said some questions about the attack still remain unanswered.
Tomorrow Senator John Kerry faces a hearing on his nomination to replace Secretary of State Clinton.
He chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but did not participate today.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Chatsworth Products (CPI) has enhanced its popular Two-Post Standard Rack, otherwise known as "THE Rack" or "55053," the product customers ask for by number.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131028/CL05535 )
The industry-leading Standard Rack is a high quality, cost-effective storage solution for patch panels and network switches. The rack features a small footprint, making it the best choice in many telecommunications and equipment rooms where floor space is limited.
Made from aluminum extrusion, the Standard Rack features unmatched sturdiness and durability. A convenient element the rack's 19"EIA universal rail spacing with marked and numbered U spaces. It is available in three heights: 7 feet, 8 feet and 9 feet. The heavy-duty rack is UL Listed with up to 1,000 lb. weight capacity.
The new features added to CPI's Standard Rack include:
Now with 52 rack units and bonded assembly, the Standard Rack has a prepared grounding location added to one side of the rack channel. The Rack Ground Jumper Kit (ordered separately) allows for quick and easy attachment to the Telecommunications Grounding System, thus reducing installation labor.
Michael Moore, CPI's Product Manager of Open Architecture, stated, "CPI's new integrated grounding features included with the Standard Rack insure proper grounding and bonding, as well as reduction in labor time. This new design does not use any RMU space in the rack footprint, which in return saves money and allows full utilization for equipment."
It is now available in Glacier White, which is a new standard CPI color. Glacier White finish is highly reflective and helps brighten narrow equipment rows, provide better visibility and reduce energy costs.

At French Connection on Boston's fashionable Newberry Street this past Tuesday evening, L.A. native Lindsey Berman is juggling. A song by the band Journey blares out of her satchel shaped like a guitar each time her cell phone rings. People are calling -- friends, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends. Everyone wants a ticket to the Black Eyed Peas concert that evening, the hot after-party sponsored by the organization Rock the Vote at the Democratic National Convention. Inside French Connection, vendors are hawking their black T-shirts that read, "FCUK you! I'm voting," referring to the brand French Connection United Kingdom. Art Alexakis, the lead singer of the pop band Everclear, is singing. Berman is making sure everything goes smoothly, firing up the volunteers on the street, and figuring out how she'll get credentials for young people so they can get on the floor for the convention's speeches that evening.

This is according to Dr Alisdair Mckendrick, a dentist at Anterior Dental Care, who said that the calls to ban the filling had nothing to do with patient care.
He explained that the shift from Amalgam fillings in the dental industry was based on the environmental damage that free mercury can cause. Dr Mckendrick also stated that those interested in cosmetic dentistry did not like to use the material as it was not very nice to look at. "Patients and dentists - myself included - are waiting for the day we can place an aesthetically-pleasing filling that lasts as long and is as easy to place as amalgam," he commented. Amalgam has been used for over a 100 years and will continue to be utilised until a more effective alternative is found, the dentist added. According to the NHS, 29.3 million patients had a dental appointment in the 24-month period ending September 2011.

A classic climb, love it or leave it. Both the technical difficulty of and physical effort required for this climb are body-size dependent. I've heard so many comments about the likely use of a stealth-rubber wet suit, a full-body tape glove, king-kong handjams, etc... to know it isn't just me that thinks this is a workout. It is more physical than technical, I guess, because it seems that most people who try it make it, but everyone always says how hard it was. Start in a thin hands crack and work your way up to a wide spot. Spend quite some considerable effort trying to get into the crack here, then consider that it's going to be equally hard to get right back out of it in just another 5 meters more. Jam the fists to off-fists section above the squeeze and then cruise to the top on better jams. This climb favors those with larger fists and forearms but not those with big chests. Leave your helmet off or suffer.
From the approach to the main wall on Sky Bridge, head right past the first wall encountered to a strange little rock house the size of a garage with a hole through the "artificial ceiling" in the right rear corner (the Underling) and then continue right another 20 meters past some big boulders to an opposing set of corners over roofs. THe left-facing corner on the right is "Inhibitor."
Well,a little heads-up in places, but protected at the cruxes. Take a #4 camalot, plus one truly big cam.
Taped hands for the bottom crack make it less painful. Also, I'm sure I would've fallen off at the beginning of the offwidth/chimney section if I hadn't find a little handhold on the left inside wall of the crack. Makes it easier.
One of the finest pitches of crackclimbing I have done. It is made even better in that it is found smack dab in the middle of sportclimbing disneyland. I found no need for anything larger than a #4 Camelot although one could easily find spots to place larger cams. The overhanging hands finish is simply fantastic.
GREAT climbing...this is truly a stellar route. The upper jam crack stymied me twice... Just like the guidebook says...it takes a #4 C4 to protect the move into the squeeze, a #5 C4 above your head to protect the move out (clip it long), and hand- and fist-sized cams for the rest. I'd also recommend keeping your right hip free of gear...
Beautiful climb and definitely not P-13. All moves can be protected and you don't need anything bigger than a 5 for getting out of the squeeze chimney. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Tennessee becoming the latest state to say no is setting up its own health care exchange under Obama can meaning.
He will be up to the federal government to set one up Republican governor bill hasn't joins us now to explain his decision good to see you governor thanks very much for joining us why did you make this decision.
Well -- You know we start with the premise evening we can run -- will do better than the federal government will we we've we think we do it faster better cheaper than they can but in the end they couldn't answer our questions.
And tend to go on to something that's this vast of an enterprise and have so many things unanswered likes it.
We -- gotten 820.
Pages of of rules in the last two or three weeks from them.
Still in draft form for something Maine they've -- was in the works for two years so.
It just felt like to us they weren't organized enough well -- for us to to to do this with them.
You're the chief executive of the state of Tennessee.
Governors like to have as much control as they can and here you are basically ceding.
A lot of control when it comes to the health care of the people of your great state to the federal government any problems with that.
Well I have a lot of problems but but that decision on the exchange really wasn't gonna make a big difference there one way or the other we we are fear once we got into -- was that the state base exchange didn't give us a lot more flexibility -- latitude than.
Running with them would.
And -- are letting them run it would.
In in exchange for that we were entering into this likes of partnership with them that they would they wouldn't define for us.
So I have a lot of issues with how they that the health care plan works out how much decision making it takes out of not just state hands but individual's hands I have a major concern.
I just don't think the state basic change was gonna solve that problem.
Governor you said in a statement that you released on Monday that you've opposed obamacare from the very beginning that you would hope that it would be.
That that your efforts in those those who agree with you would have been successful.
In the courts and at the ballot box you -- -- you weren't successful in the courts and Supreme Court a ruling in favor of obamacare you weren't successful at the ballot box the president.
Has just won a second term.
-- no that's right so our job now is to implement like satellite the -- I wish it hadn't been past always shot.
Supreme Court overturned -- now which would have different election November of oh we didn't and so we have to deal with the reality there are going to be exchanges set up in every state down the question is whether.
We were gonna run -- -- of the federal government run them.
But is the chief executive the state I didn't feel good about going into this part this relationship when they wouldn't define what it would look like I don't think it.
The people kind of entrusted us with making those sort of decisions and is ill defined as this was it was not the right thing for Tennessee I just have a couple seconds governor is.
Is as John Boehner access has said is obamacare the law of the land -- we gonna continue to see.
These sort of challenges in battles that are better that that opponents -- hopeful finally sort of chip away so that it goes away altogether.
Well -- Wow -- -- I'm not a fan but I think for at least for governors we have to go on Google for on the basis that this is what was -- -- we have to implement the pieces that were responsible for so.
Again I'd love to see a different direction so I think it's incredibly costly for the federal government for state governments it's going to.
Be very difficult and for small businesses as well so I'd like to see go away in the meantime.
We're charged with implementing his as -- is.
Bill has -- the governor of the great state of Tennessee a look forward to visiting your state seen family in Memphis over the holidays.
Always fun to visit Tennessee thank you so much there.
Come down and spend some money let us we'll do.

eskro Wrote:[Mini-ITX] Atom 2x1.6Ghz + ION1 ($186) There is a number of threads on the forum from people having issues with XBMC under Linux and ION chipset (e.g. here, here, here, and here), me being one of them. I know that lots of people here don't have issues with ION and Dharma, so it's surely still worth recommending this setup. But maybe a disclaimer would be worthwhile. Anyhow, I'm fed up with the hours I invested into reinstalling and tweaking the system over the last 2 months, without being able to resolve this. So I'm ready to try different hardware now. I want to stay away from Atom and ION this time and rather go with a low heat CPU (far more powerful than Atom) and a GT 220 (no GT 210 here available anymore) gfx card. I'm thinking about an energy efficient AMD (X2 250e) or the pricier i3-2100T, both with 45W TDP... Probably rather the latter because of the additional capacity to be on the safe side (I want to de-interlace 1080i, maybe play some streaming movies...), even if I'll have to wait some more weeks before there will be ok Sandy Bridge mobos.

^^ What about a Sempron 140? Low power, and it's more powerful than an Atom chip. Plus, you can unlock the 2nd core if you need the extra juice.

Microsoft is vowing to improve the performance of its home and corporate antivirus suites after the products received failing marks from a well-known testing firm.
Microsoft lost its certification from AV-Test, an independent IT security institute based in Germany. The firm's CEO, Andreas Marx, told CRN that Microsoft's corporate Forefront Endpoint protection and its Security Essentials suite underperformed in tests the institute conducted over the past four months.
"It's a bit unusual," Marx said. "Microsoft failed gaining our certification for the tests and this means from our point of view that the protection offered by the product got lower results."
[Related: Did You Hear That? Sophisticated Cyberattacks Don't Make A Lot Of Noise]
AV-Test conducts tests on more than 30 products and releases results every two months. It pits the software against a selection of known zero-day malware samples, malware samples detected over the past two to three months, and widespread malware samples.
Microsoft's corporate Forefront Endpoint protection and its Security Essentials suite for home users failed to detect 28 of the zero-day malware samples it was tested against, detecting only 78 percent of the malicious files. Both antimalware suites detected 90 percent of the "recent" samples and 100 percent of the widespread malware.
Security experts say antivirus and other signature-based security technologies have had trouble keeping up with the ever-increasing number of malware variants in the wild.
Marx said AV-Test sees three new malware samples every two seconds. In 2012, the testing firm registered 35 million new unique malware samples.

Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from a chapter in Nathan Wolfe's new book: The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age (published October 11 by Times Books, an imprint of Henry Holt and Company, LLC. Copyright © 2011 by Nathan Wolfe. All rights reserved).
The chytrid fungus has resulted in global frog deaths and in some cases extinction of entire frog species, a tragic loss for wildlife on our planet. In a 2007 paper, Lee Berger, one of the researchers who first identified the chytrid fungus, used language uncommon in conservative scientific journal articles when he wrote, "The impact of [chytrid fungus] on frogs is the most spectacular loss of vertebrate biodiversity due to disease in recorded history."
What happened with the chytrid fungus also gives us important clues to a larger phenomenon that affects much more than just amphibians. Over the past few hundred years, humans have constructed a radically interconnected world—a world in which frogs living in one place are shipped to locations where they've never previously existed, and one where humans can literally have their boots in the mud of Australia one day and in the rivers of the Amazon the next. This radically mobile world gives infectious agents like chytrid a truly global stage on which to act. We no longer live on a planet where pockets of life persist for centuries without contact with others. We now live on a microbially unified planet. For better or worse, it's one world.
How did we get to this point? For the vast majority of our history as living organisms on this planet, we had incredibly limited capacity to move. Many organisms can move themselves over short distances. Single-celled organisms like bacteria have small whiplike tails, or flagella, that allow them to move, but despite their molecular-scale efficiency, flagella will never push their owners far. Plants and fungi have the potential to move passively by creating seeds or spores blown by the wind. They also have adopted methods that co-opt animals to help them move, which explains the existence of fruit and the spores of fungi like chytrid. Nevertheless, precious few forms of terrestrial life regularly travel more than a few miles in the course of their lives.
Among the wonderful exceptions to the largely static life on Earth is the coconut palm. The seeds of the coconut palm (i.e., coconuts), like a number of other drift seeds, evolved buoyancy and water resistance, permitting them to travel vast distances through ocean currents. Among animals, some species of bats and birds are masters of space. The best example might be the Arctic tern, perhaps the most mobile species on Earth outside of our own. The tern flies from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to the Antarctic and then back again each and every year of its life. A famous tern chick was tagged on the Farne Islands in the UK near the time it was born in the summer of 1982. When it was found in Melbourne, Australia, in October of the same year, it had managed a twelve-thousand-mile journey in the first few months of life! It's been estimated that these amazing birds, which can live over twenty years, will travel about one and a half million miles in their lifetimes. It would take a full-time commercial jet pilot, flying at the maximum FAA permitted effort, nearly five years to cover the same distance.
Yet despite their wings, most bird and bat species actually live their lives quite close to where they're born. Only a few, like the Arctic tern, have evolved to regularly move great distances. Highly mobile species, whether bird, bat, or human, particularly the ones that live in large colonies, are of particular interest for the maintenance and spread of microbes. Among primates, only humans have the potential to move themselves great distances during a single lifetime, let alone in a few days. That's not to say that other primates simply stay put. Almost all species of primates move every day in their search for food, and young adults routinely move from one area to another before mating. Yet whether primate or bird, nothing on the planet—certainly nothing outside of the sea—matches humans in our capacity to move long distances quickly. The human potential to move, which now includes traveling to the moon, is unique and unprecedented in the history of life on our planet. But it comes with consequences.
Humans started globetrotting in earnest millions of years ago using our own two feet. Bipedalism gave us an advantage over our ape cousins in terms of our capacity to wander. And, as discussed in chapter 3, it had consequences for how we interact with the microbes in our environment. Yet our capacity to negotiate the globe in the amazing way we do now started with our use of boats.
The earliest clear archaeological evidence of boats dates to around ten thousand years ago. Found in the Netherlands and France, these boats (which might be better called rafts since they were made by binding logs together) were probably used primarily in fresh water. The first evidence of sea-going boats comes from a group of British and Kuwaiti archaeologists, who in 2002 reported finding a seven-thousand-year-old vessel that undoubtedly was used at sea. The archaeologists made their discovery at the Neolithic site of Subiya in Kuwait. Stored in the remnants of a stone building, the boat consisted of reeds and tar. Most strikingly, the bits of boat had barnacles attached to the tar, indicating that it was definitely used in the sea.
Employing genetics and geography, we can get a much earlier estimate for the first use of seafaring boats. The indigenous people of Australia and Papua New Guinea provide perhaps the best case for this. By comparing the genes of the Australasian people with other humans throughout the world, we can conclude that people reached Australia at least fifty thousand years ago.
During this time, our planet was a relatively cold place—it was the peak of an ice age. Since more of the Earth's water was locked up in ice, the sea level was lower, revealing pieces of land that connected what are currently islands. Many of the islands in the Indonesian archipelago were joined by these so-called land bridges.
Despite the land bridges that ice ages expose, we know that no one walked all the way to Australia. In particular, the deep-water channel between Bali and Lombok in present-day Indonesia, a channel around thirty-five kilometers long, would have required boats to navigate. So we can infer that these early populations also used at least some form of sea transport.
We know very little about these early Australian settlers, although we know that they traveled at a time before animal domestication so certainly didn't move with animals in tow. Nevertheless, their movements impacted how they related with microbes. When they first crossed from Bali to Lombok, they encountered a completely novel set of animals.

Saturn's moon Titan (orange, in background) seems to have lakes of methane near the equator, as well as at the poles.

From Nature magazine
Nestling among the dunes in the dry equatorial region of Saturn's moon Titan is what appears to be a hydrocarbon lake. The observation, by the Cassini spacecraft, suggests that oases of liquid methane — which might be a crucible for life — lie beneath the moon's surface. The work is published today in Nature.
Besides Earth, Titan is the only solid object in the Solar System to circulate liquids in a cycle of rain and evaporation, although on Titan the process is driven by methane rather than water.
This cycle is expected to form liquid bodies near the moon's poles, but not at its dune-covered equator, where Cassini measurements show that humidity levels are low and little rain falls to the surface. "The equatorial belt is like a desert on Earth, where evaporation trumps precipitation," says astrobiologist Jonathan Lunine of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
Any surface liquid there should evaporate and be transported to the cooler poles, where it should condense as rain. "Lakes at the poles are easy to explain, but lakes in the tropics are not," says Caitlin Griffith, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Indeed, Cassini has spotted hundreds of lakes and three seas in Titan's polar regions.
Now Griffith and her colleagues think they have found a tropical lake — some 60 kilometres long and 40 kilometres wide, and at least 1 metre deep — in Cassini observations made between 2004 and 2008. It appears as a black splotch at seven near-infrared wavelengths that can travel relatively unimpeded through the moon's thick atmosphere, which blocks visible light.
Caverns measureless to man
The team also found four smaller, brighter splotches, which Griffith says may be "shallower ponds similar to marshes on Earth, with knee-to-ankle-level depths". Because tropical lakes on Titan should evaporate over a period of just a few thousand years, the researchers argue that these ponds and lakes are being replenished by subsurface oases of liquid methane.
That would expand the number of places on the moon where life could potentially originate. Methane, which is made up of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms, is the source of more complicated organic molecules found on Titan. "There may be organic chemical processes that occur in liquid hydrocarbons that could lead to compounds analogous to proteins and information-carrying molecules," says Lunine, who was not involved in the work. "There might be a kind of life that works in liquid hydrocarbons."
Lunine and Griffith are members of a proposed NASA mission to look for such complex chemistry, called the Titan Mare Explorer (TiME). The TiME probe would spend three months bobbing around Ligeia Mare, a sea near Titan's north polar region, measuring its chemistry with a mass spectrometer.
But should that mission, the fate of which will soon be decided by NASA, land on a tropical lake instead? No, says Lunine. He points out that a number of lines of evidence — including telltale radar signatures — show that the polar regions are filled with liquid hydrocarbon lakes and seas. So far there is less evidence for the tropical features. "Something else that just happens to be dark at those wavelengths", such as a solid organic compound, might mimic a lake, he says.
Only 17% of the equatorial region's surface area has been analysed at the high resolutions required to spot these small features, but Lunine says that lower-resolution observations suggest tropical lakes are relatively few and far between. Still, the idea of oases on Titan appeals to him. "There's a place on Titan named Xanadu, and if you go back to the Coleridge poem on Xanadu, he talks about 'caverns measureless to man'," Lunine says. He adds that he would love to find such caverns filled with methane on Titan.

LOVEFiLM Review
By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM
Easily one of the best films of the year. David Fincher directs and Jesse Eisenberg stars in this film about Mark Zuckerberg; the world's youngest billionaire and inventor of Facebook.

What a film. As a massive West Wing fan, I wanted to see this film mostly because of Aaron Sorkin. His super-sharp writing style is a joy, more so than ever in The Social Network.
A dark and intriguing tale of betrayal, the film is witty, funny and a mystery all in one go. All of the actors are outstanding - with this being Jessie Eisenberg's best performance to date. Andrew Garfield is going to be a great Spiderman.
A must-see.- Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant and captivating, some of the negative reviews are just crazy
By sirdoodlebug (5 reviews) , 13 Sep 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Lets get a few things straight here. Firstly, this movie is NOT saying facebook is good, nor is it even really about facebook, it's about the people involved and what its creation did to them. So regardless of your opinion on how good/bad the site is, that shouldn't factor in your view of the movie. Secondly, the main character is SUPPOSED to be annoying, to call the film rubbish because you were irritated by him is like calling the Silence of the Lambs crap because Hannibal Lector wasn't likeable. There are some totally bonkers reviews out here, criticising this fantastic film for the dumbest reasons. If you expected action sequences and a race against time for Zuckerberg to stop the internet exploding, sorry to disappoint you. Yes this is a 'people-talking' movie, but a damn great one at that. The acting is all superb (regardless of how likeable you find the characters), the writing sharp, the soundtrack hypnotic, all led by David Fincher's great direction. Put aside the word 'facebook', and get sucked in to this fascinating study of the way we communicate in this digital era (or fail to), and how these people who unintentionally created the largest social networking site in the world destroyed their own friendships in the process.- Was this review helpful to you?

Eisenberg is an almighty bell-cheese..
By Cheese_Embalmer (27 reviews) , 15 Jun 2013Wow..Eisenberg is somehow able to be even more annoying & arrogant in real-life than the real-life character he his playing in this film, quite an achievement in itself!?. While Fincher ensures this film is glossly coated thickly with the finest Parmesan throughout, it leaves the viewer inevitably despising Facebook/Eisenberg/Zuckerberg/Garfield and anyone else who features heavily.. oh of course and Justin Timberlake, if only for his appalling music...phew.. really thought provoking this one- Was this review helpful to you?

Its kinda of fun to watch when a post comes up and if it has the letters GTX, or #'s 280/260 its like a flock of birds storm in to get it.
How many cores on a card doesn't matter at all. All that matters is how it performs. I'm sorry, but the Video card market has changed in the past year (thank you ATI). I feel it's no longer acceptable to charge this much for a video card. When ATI drops the HD4k series, I have a feeling NV will be left with no choice but to lower prices.
and the onyl reason ATI does it is because their previous cards didnt perform as well..it had nothing to do with how cheap they could make them or how little they wanted to mark them up..they needed money and fast. im not bashing ATI its just fact.
"Why" does not matter. All that matters is how much we pay as consumers. I see no reason why ATI won't undercut NV again, and force more price drops. Besides, you can't convince me that this card is actually this expensive to make. Expensive, yes. This expensive, no way.
I agree with peoples assessment about the 4870 X2, if the scaling is nearly as good (not even counting if its better), then wouldnt it be faster then the 280? Also although people compare multi GPU cards to single ones saying they arnt in the same league for comparison, but does it matter since the 280 wont be able to be multi? Since its too big I mean.
I can't remember a time when we didn't have a card that cost this much. How much was the 1800XT, 7900GTX, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 2900XT, 9800GX2, 3870X2(on release day)
They're quick, but not that quick - I have a sneaking suspicion I can get GTX 280 performance for 180 pounds, so I'm not going to pay the 400+ nVidia are asking. Therein lies the problem, nVidia have priced themselves out of the UK market, at 400 pounds for a GTX 280 and 270+ pounds for a GTX 260 these cards are terrible value.
But if you notice, the past year hasn't been that way. My point is the gfx market has changed. The way I see it, and judging by the reactions of people on the price, this price just isn't acceptable anymore, regardless of how the market may have been in the past.
The only reason why it was cheaper was because of rehashing everything IMO. AMD 2900=38xx cards Nvidia has been running the same cores more or less for 3 years now. Of course those prices are going to be cheaper. To top it off the size of that die is huge, and there is no doubt in my mind that that didn't rise the cost of them. I also don't remember a time when people didn't bitch about the price.
Again, to consumers it doesn't matter why they are priced this high. The only thing that matters is that they are. Regardless of the reasons why, I just don't see people wanting to pay this much anymore. They've been spoiled by the past year's events.
It's the top model They will have other cards that are cheaper, and slower just like Intel has with their CPUs. The 260, 9800GX2, 9800GTX, 9800GT, and the 9600GT will still be around for some time to come.
Regardless, it doesn't make the price acceptable in the consumers eyes. The GX2 is $100 less, and is either only a few fps behind, or a dead match for it. The price is just too much, and not justifiable on a price to performance ratio.
and though i totally agree people you need the 2 fps increase will buy this card just so they can say they have it so unfortunately the price for future high end cards probably wont come down any time soon.
No one that isn't hardcore will buy one, or that doesn't want the best of the best. Most of the time. When I do sell video cards in the PC Shop I normally do buy the best one. I tell them if you wan it to last for 3 or 4 years this is what you have to do, and yes it does cost more because of that reason. If you want one just for the year well put in the lowest card that will be cheaper, you just wont be really happy with it..
the point of price is kind of insane here. W1zz pointed it out in the POV Assassins Creed review...They change of design and the, perhaps unnecessary, adding of the NVIO2 to the PCB has caused costs to skyrocket. I believe it was Anandtech in a previews news story, citing that the huge transistors, less dies per wafer, etc were going to lead to higher prices. Granted, this may be the fastest card out, but NV really priced their ass out on this one. The PCB layout and design, the amount of transistors and the cost of production are probably really high. I dont know if its high enough to justify such a huge price on a release, but it has to be pretty high up. On a good note, Im kind of happy with the noise, cooling and even at times, the power consumption of this massive card.
anyone who buys this card for 700+ is flat stupid the 9800 gx2 is a better deal or even a regular 9800 gtx at near 200.00. The best deal of all is a 3870x2. Heck you could buy 3 9800gtx cards for price that and kill that card and anyone who does that is a moron. ATI is gonna blow them away sales wise and anyone who owns a 9800gtx and 3870x2 just had the value of there cards hold steady.
OCZ GameXStream 700W: Is it enough to power one GTX 280? I'm wondering If I will have an expensive paper weight (although temporarily) if I use my OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU with a GTX 280? I noticed that you used one of these PSUs in your tests. Did you use the supplied PCI-E power adapter? Is this a temporary or can it be a permanent solution running a single GTX 280? I've notice almost all reviewers are using 1000W to 1200W PSUs.
OK, I'll re-phrase that....in most of the games I play....have played the GX2 is a match and a fair bit cheaper now.....although I appreciate these prices are likely to reduce fairly quick (well here's hoping at least!)......ohhhh and TBH.....in most things, 8% is pretty much un-noticable in any case unless of course tou are border line playable frames anyways. Ohhh and one other thing, this being the Amp overclocked model might well actually suggest that the reference model would possibly be SLOWER than the GX2.
Nice it comes with GRID = more players online for me to beat (well if they use assists they'll beat me). Anyways if the owner has a big screen, 1920x1200 (throw in 16xQSAA+16xAF) will run silky smooth with this card and look droolable.
If you already have a highe end card,be it ati or nvidia,and you are itching for a new card.I think its wise to sit on it and wait till the 48xx cards come along rather than pay this ridiculous price(its really sick in the uk) Let the fanboys,the must haves buy 'em.
any half decent psu will work fine .. the whole system draws around 300w peak power so a 600w psu will be perfectly fine handling it
I can't believe that things sux more juice than a 3879x2!!!! Wicked powerful card though. can't wait to see if ati can keep up with this one..
75% of gamers care. the remaining 25% use vista with dx9 games that were rushed to have some dx10 features

As a merchant who accepts credit cards, what kind of protection do you have against creditcard fraud and stolen credit cards?
If you are a retail store merchant you have very little recourse. The credit card processing companies require you to check ID and verify signature on each credit card transaction you accept. For the single location this compliance can be pretty easy. If you have multiple locations or a lot of employees enforcing the rule becomes more difficult. The basic rule on a fraudulent credit card transaction is you will lose both the payment and the product. On top of that your credit card processing company may even assess a chargeback fee of some kind as well. The best way to prevent this is training and awareness for your staff and you as an owner.
For online merchants it can be worse as the credit card is not present at time of transactions. This makes it more difficult for you to prove that the person who purchased the product or service from your website was the card holder.
There are credit card protection systems available mainly to online merchants that can minimize your risk of getting hit with stolen cards.
Here are just a few:
Total-Apps credit card merchant services have the above fraud protections and more at no cost to our clients. We not only help set up your merchant account, but show you how to monitor for credit card fraud before you incur a loss. Contact us today to accept credit cards for your retail or online business.

Foliar Fertilizer
Surprisingly, plants take in nutrients more efficiently through stomata (plant pores) in their leaves than they do through root uptake. You can give your growing things a quick boost with periodic mists or sprays of natural foliar fertilizers. Not only are they good for general fertilization, they're an immediate way to revive and stimulate stressed, tired, or diseased plants.
Foliar Feeding Facts:
• Tests have shown that foliar feeding can be 8 to 10 times more effective than soil feeding.
• Up to 90% of a foliar-fed solution can be found in the roots of a plant within 1-hour of application.
• Foliar supplements are an effective way to compensate for soil deficiencies and poor soil's inability to transfer nutrients to the plant.
