Viking Air Limited has acquired the Type Certificates for seven de Havilland legacy aircraft, including the near-legendary DHC-2 Beaver and the DHC-6 Twin Otter, from Bombardier Inc. After receiving approval from Transport Canada on January 31, 2006, the transfer of the Type Certificates was completed last week during a ceremony at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
"Ownership of the de Havilland Canada Type Certificates helps establish Viking as a first-tier original equipment manufacturer in the Canadian aerospace industry," said Viking President and Chief Executive Officer David Curtis.
"This acquisition enhances Viking's proven ability to provide a full range of services across all the de Havilland Canada product lines to customers around the world."
The transfer of the Type Certificates completes a transaction first announced in May 2005, at which time Viking acquired specific assets from Bombardier's Commercial Service Centre (CSC) division, including product support responsibilities for the seven de Havilland heritage aircraft.
Since that time, Viking has successfully integrated the Bombardier CSC responsibilities, expanded its operations in Victoria, opened a warehousing and distribution facility in Calgary, Alberta, and has almost doubled its workforce.
In acquiring the Type Certificates Viking gains the exclusive right to re-start production for any of the seven de Havilland Canada aircraft types. The company is currently assessing market demand for each and will validate any positive findings with a full due diligence review before proceeding any further.
"Historically, de Havilland has produced aircraft of unmatched quality and reputation, and the global demand for de Havilland products remains incredibly strong. This acquisition opens up a number of new market opportunities for Viking. It represents a major opportunity to establish a product oriented aerospace industry in Western Canada and help build a critical mass of aviation in the region."
In all, approximately 3,500 de Havilland Canada aircraft were produced from 1947 to 1988, the largest fleet of aircraft produced in post war Canada. A large percentage of these aircraft are still in use today. The prototype DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-6 Twin Otter and DASH 7 are currently housed at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa, along with several other de Havilland Canada heritage aircraft.
Since 1983, Viking has held the exclusive rights to spare parts manufacturing and distribution for the venerable DHC-2 Beaver and the DHC-3 Single Otter aircraft and has been a major supplier to Bombardier on the DHC-6 Twin Otter and DASH Series product lines. Viking now provides a complete range of services for de Havilland's out of production aircraft, including spare part manufacturing and distribution, sales and customer service, technical support, and engineering services. The terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.

Email and -- Fox News contributor Judy.
This and this is eighteen -- -- played get confirmation executives say is necessary reason she's on the.
-- -- that's she's trying to make nice she's tracking two.
Eliminate her -- five winning them over and when that failed she's now aiming for the moderates that she needs to -- down to filibuster if there is one.
-- reading that some accusations.
In some democratic circles that race plays -- -- -- well any any.
Basis for that really.
This is the new media mean -- on the left you have to -- on MSNBC.
Talking about McCain and a bunch of old white guy is basically the old in the light -- awake during his terms not mine.
I have but basically that's what the Democrats want to -- this sad -- this just.
Bitterness over the election and politics as usual and you know.
I think it may fly I mean I looking at the at the array of issues that -- Republicans have to deal with and they are now on the defensive.
They do not want this fight on the other hand what goes on today on the hill between Susan Rice and Susan and Collins and at that co worker that is going to be critical because if she cannot persuade them.
She's not going to be able to persuade anyone right.
Now it may even that well believe that the truth -- At least in terms of Susan Rice is that she was simply a good soldier she -- while she was told to do and she repeated what the talking points told.
But that doesn't take away the fact that there -- and and a number of questions still to -- on continuing questions.
Did leave aside race all of the all of the other stuff there are genuine questions that need to be unsettled.
Sarah are an what was amazing was Jay Carney is discussion on how you -- giggling as.
-- rolling your eyes and what's really important here is not what happened afterwards on the talk shows but what happens the former -- but it's precisely.
What John McCain at all we're trying to determine.
And at the beginning of this whole offense isn't -- the administration had come forward.
With a straightforward explanation.
Off perhaps a mistake or miscalculation.
About the amount of security needed on the ground you we wouldn't be in this situation it was -- -- The inability.
What unwillingness of the administration to provide answers to those questions.
That really triggered the Ben Ghazi gate charge -- as -- we'll -- fewer.
In that position all the president's idea wouldn't just say.
It's got it's going to be so much easier to nominate John Kerry -- second -- maybe I'm.
-- YE do you think there is this sort of push.
All almost on the -- of Susan Rice added on the holiday it would appear the president if he said no don't go to Capitol Hill you know -- not gonna nominate you and then it wouldn't be happening.
You're absolutely right you know I hate my age I and if -- if I were the president that yes then so we asked a question -- that's exactly I would say look we we have.
Have to fight on this fiscal cliff that that's the thing that really need to spend my bullets.
I'm sorry Susan I love you and look this happens at this level of public service all the time you even if she -- -- good soldier.
You know -- -- get soldiers -- get.
Take a friendly environment.
Not the end.
You know you just have to say on this just the way the political parts of all and -- understand all of my kids getting the economy of this country.
-- on the right track and I need every ounce of and you know if if I can go to some of the conservative Republican senators and said listen.
I'm going to give you Susan Rice but you gotta give me the vote on.
-- I would be doing okay.
-- have challenged him they have challenged his manhood and his ability to lead they have whether or not he had any doubts about whether or not he was going to nominate Susan Rice whether or not even want them to do that.
He has now been put in a position that's going to be very hard for him -- I -- you're gonna tell you not to do it that's.
We have this red flag in front of everything and I'm glad we got to see me play some kids don't I don't know yeah.
You know but there's another problem here and that is precisely that he would she's just a good soldier she was just reading the talking points.
That's precisely what's bothering.
Senator Collins -- is that the kind of person we want to be secretary point eight.
The lack of independence the growing political nature of that job you know that's not what moderate Republicans want to see in that job.
So precisely the defense which is she was just a good soldier reading talking points is what's hurting her with a constituency -- badly needs to win over an -- All right very interesting all right Judy Miller fox -- conservative you can see -- and -- discussing the way the media covers all of these sorts of -- On FOX News Watch every weekend does Saturday's impacted 30 and 11:30.

Data altruism: people more likely to share personal health data for the sake of others and to save money
Employers will strongly focus on costs in health benefit plans for 2014; so must consumers
Employers who sponsor health insurance in America are at a fork on a cloudy road: they know that they're in the midst of changes happening in the U.S. health system. Except for one certainty: that health care costs too much. So employers' plans for health benefits in 2014 strongly focus on getting a return-on-investment from […]

People who are diagnosed with at least one chronic medical condition are more likely to seek information online, use social media to understand peer patients' reviews on drugs and treatments, and learn from other patients about their personal health experiences. While that's encouraging news for a health empowerment headline, the underlying challenge that should prevent […]

Rousseau's Perception on Milk and Human Nature
December 10, 2010 - 1:13am | by mbshremMilk has not always been the object of attack by nutritionists and animal activists. Hundreds of years before vegans were condemning dairy products as unhealthful industrialized commodities, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th-century French philosopher and arguably the first ecologist and environmentalist, was praising the nutritious and psychological properties of milk and its ability to reconnect people with nature. Throughout his writings, from Émile, or On Education to his Confessions, dairy is depicted not only as a building block of humanity but also as a vegetal fruit-like figure within his idealized bucolic literary scenes.
It's not by mere chance that Rousseau starts off his masterpiece on the "art of education," Émile, or On Education, with a tribute to breast milk and maternity (still a modern concept in the 18th century). He explains the profound impact of breastfeeding on infants, affirming that it intensifies the mother–child bond, and therefore the overall harmony of the family which he views as a fundamental unit of civilization.

Prosecutors allege she lied when she told a Florida judge during a bail hearing for her husband in April 2012 that the family was indigent. In fact, they argue, George Zimmerman actually had about $135,000 at the time.
She's pleaded not guilty, and has a court date in the case scheduled for next month.
Even if donations keep pouring in, Zimmerman shouldn't necessarily take all the money he's offered, said Gene Grabowski, a crisis public relations manager.
"He's got to be careful to avoid the appearances of creating more divisions by accepting money or support openly from groups that, maybe, that would create more friction because of the tenor of this case," he said. "He's got to be careful about who he associates with afterwards, even if they are offering financial support."
What about a book?
A juror in the high-profile case has already inked a deal with an agent for a possible book.
Could a book or a made-for-TV movie be in Zimmerman's future?
Last week HLN's Nancy Grace said a multimillion-dollar book for Zimmerman would probably be in the offing.
And that possibility is already drawing sharp criticism.
In an editorial titled "Zimmerman's acquittal shouldn't lead to riches," The Philadelphia Inquirer argued Monday that Zimmerman is "likely to be offered millions through lucrative book and movie deals."
"It would be a shame," the newspaper said, "if the unnecessary death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin produced more paydays for the man who fatally shot the unarmed black teenager in the heart during a scuffle."
Civil lawsuits surge to the forefront
Even with the criminal trial over, Zimmerman still is likely to face several legal battles.
Activists are pushing for the federal government to file civil rights charges against him.
And it's possible Martin's family will file a civil wrongful death case, which could threaten Zimmerman's pocketbook.
They haven't said yet if they will.
That could be more likely, some analysts say, if it appeared Zimmerman was profiting from the case.
A book or movie deal could make Zimmerman more vulnerable to a wrongful death suit, criminal defense attorney Randy Reep told USA Today.
And then there's another case that Zimmerman started, suing NBC Universal over edited versions of a 911 call Zimmerman made.
That lawsuit alleges that NBC deliberately edited an audio tape of his 911 call to make Zimmerman sound racist.
"Because of NBC's deceptive and exploitative manipulations, the public wrongly believes that Zimmerman 'use(d) a racial epithet' while describing Martin during the call to the dispatcher on that fateful night," the suit says.
NBC Universal has disputed the accusations.
"There was no intent to portray Mr. Zimmerman unfairly," the company said last year. "We intend to vigorously defend our position in court."
The lawsuit says Zimmerman is seeking "damages in excess of the jurisdictional limit," but doesn't specify a dollar figure.
Zimmerman's brother says the family is focusing on getting a fresh start. But so far, the verdict hasn't put a stop to debate over the controversial case.

Tips for Staying Mentally Sharp as You Age
Promising research indicates that taking the following steps may help keep your mind sharp as you age:
- Control cholesterol problems and high blood pressure. Cholesterol problems and high blood pressure can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, which are thought to contribute to the development of certain types of dementia.
- Don't smoke or drink excessively. Because these are both seen as putting you at increased risk of dementia, kick the habit if you smoke and, if you drink, do so only in moderation.
- Exercise regularly. Regular physical activity is thought to help maintain blood flow to the brain and reduce your risk of conditions such as high blood pressure that are associated with the development of dementia.
- Eat a healthy diet. People who consume plenty of vegetables and fatty fish and keep away from saturated fats are thought to have a lower risk of cognitive decline.
- Stimulate your brain. Keep your mind active by increasing your level of social interaction, learning new skills, playing challenging games, and doing other activities that require your brain cells to work. People who are more socially and intellectually engaged have a lower risk of developing dementia.

Chemical signals
Have you ever had ants ruin your picnic? Commercial ant repellents can keep them away, but who wants to spray poison near their food? In this activity, you can investigate the effectiveness of some less toxic solutions that you may have around your home. Armed with your discoveries, you may be able to keep your next picnic from turning into an ant buffet!
All animals sense chemical signals in their environments. Some animals use these signals to communicate. One animal famous for chemical communication is the ant. When you see a line of ants, it is because they are following an invisible chemical trail. This type of chemical signal is positive—it is called an attractant because it is meant to attract others. But signals can also be negative, warning other ants to stay away. This type of signal is called a repellent.
Sometimes repellents can come in handy. We don't like ants to get into our homes, so if we apply a negative chemical signal around their foundations, the signal will tell the ants to keep out. Chemical companies will sometimes try to copy a negative signal to sell as an insect repellent. But sometimes these chemicals can have side effects or be poisonous to pets or small children. Luckily, there may be less toxic remedies around your home.
• Q-tips
• Small cups or bottle caps
• Large, vinyl tablecloth
• A location outside where there are plenty of ants crawling around
• Water
• Sugar
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Detergent (dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, etcetera)
• Tabasco sauce
• Lemon juice (or other citrus juice)
• Commercial ant repellent, if you want to compare its effectiveness
• Any other solution you would like to test!
• Watch or stopwatch (optional)
• In a small cup or bottle cap, make a saturated solution by dissolving some baking soda into water. Keep adding and mixing baking soda until no more will dissolve.
• In a small cup or bottle cap, make sugar water by dissolving sugar in water until no more sugar will dissolve.
• If you use a commercial ant repellent, you should have adult permission and supervision.
• Separately make up additional small cups or bottle caps of the solutions you will be testing: Water, vinegar, detergent, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice and, if you choose to test it, commercial ant repellent.
• Lay out your vinyl tablecloth on the ground in an area of heavy ant activity. Wait awhile for the ants to walk on the tablecloth. (Be careful when working with ants—some can sting and bite!)
• Tip: If not many ants are walking on the tablecloth, you could try putting a small piece of fruit near them, such as an apple slice, wait until the ants cover it, and then carefully shake them off onto the tablecloth. If it is very hot outside, you may need to wait until later in the day when it cools down for ants to come out of their holes.
• Next to the tablecloth have ready the solutions you will test: saturated baking soda solution, sugar water, water, vinegar, detergent, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice and, if you want, chemical ant repellent.
• Test a solution on an ant by dipping a Q-tip into the solution and drawing a circle around the insect, about 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Did the ant stay inside the circle or leave it? Was there anything else you observed about the ant's behavior?
• In this way, test solutions on the ants until you have tested at least five ants with each substance.
• Which solutions usually kept ants inside the circle? From which did the ants readily walk out? Potential repellents will be solutions that clearly trap the ants inside a circle.
• Were there circles in which the ants spent time standing, neither quickly leaving nor appearing trapped?
• Extra: Once you find some potential repellents, you can figure out which ones work best. Try this activity again, but now time how long the ant remains trapped in the circle. Which repellents repel the ants for the longest amount of time?
• Extra: You can also time how long the ant stays trapped in the circle to experiment with different concentrations of repellents. How diluted can your solutions be and still act as effective ant repellents?
• Extra: Try a similar activity to this one but only test dry or powdered substances. You won't need a tablecloth for this; rather for a hard, dry substance like chalk you can draw the circle on a sidewalk. For a powder, like baking soda, sugar or salt, just sprinkle it in a circle around the ant. Can you find some powdered or solid substances that work as ant repellents?

Unfortunately I won't be online at those times due to school; I have a day off today. Can you play some time today?
Sry, but for me it's the evening, and I write those posts with, my tablet, where it's impossible, to play. I think we'll have to wait until the week end.
Hey, I'm your opponent for the STAB mania tour. I'm GMT-4 and will be quite active this weekend so it shouldn't be hard to get this done! I'm also quite active on IRC in #neverused, so you can also find me there quite easily.

You're six hours ahead of me; a good time to play would be 5 PM your time, 11 AM my time; Monday would be good.
Hey, we are matched up for the Highlander tournament. You can send me a PM whenever you want, and I`ll play within the next 6 hours. I am GMT+02:00
Hey, we're matched up for the carrots something tournament. I'm GMT +5:30. And my timings are pretty flexible Can I request that we get this done by the 18th? I'll have to be out of town from 19th to the 25th for some irl reasons so I was hoping we could get this done before that. Sorry.
Hi man, we have to play for Sequels tournament, i'm GTM +1. I tell you that between 13th - 19th of this month i gonna be in a school trip and i cannot play until 19 (it's wednesday), sorry :(

TAGged but not bagged!
GT: Davyinatoga
My only concern is a transfer from a ride or crash to the hi-hat, or a quick fill back and forth between the snare and hi-hat. If the song doesn't have any of those, sweet.
Do HMX Expert drum chartings ever require crossovers? Do they ever require very fast paradiddles or double-strokes? I simply can't play Expert well enough to tell what's going on in the parts I mess up horribly. In my own drum parts I have occasional crossovers and I do a lot of little fill-in 32nd notes or 16th-triplets using one bounced double and I'm not sure what's preferred for those. The creators docs don't really set clear ground rules for what's acceptable to require for drum rudiments.
(For example, I don't think I can do effective bounced doubles on the RB1 kit, although I can on the RB2, so I'm not sure what's reasonable to chart. I've never played a bounced double on the RB2 kit in any of the songs, but I don't know if that's because they're not charted or simply because I suck too much to even parse out that they'd be appropriate.)
Yep, they sure do. Look at some of the fills in Dead on Arrival, particularly that one really tricky one near the end. It's got some pretty complicated sticking in it.
As for double strokes, that's a yes too. Example: Constant Motion, there's a part where Portnoy is playing double strokes on the ride cymbal with his right hand and hi-hat with his left. HMX authored that to BBYYBBYYBBYY. I suppose you could single stroke that, but it'd be MUCH harder.
Order Status - Tranferred from regional warehouse to central carrier shipping hub
Bad Reputation is full of double strokes, IF you don't crossover them all. So in a way, they're both required.
There's several songs that have pairs of fast double-stroking on red snares, much like Opening Band, Icarus, and Rx, the upcoming song from davidshek's band. There's also several examples of other forced double-stroking, in The Feeling (left hand again, mostly so the right hand can ride on greens) and Kids In America (red rolls starting alongside a ride cymbal *shudder*)

Yeah, I think that's what I'll go with. Ironically enough, I will have some trouble playing my own part, but oh well.
@nothings: The only thing I can think of that HMX (intentionally) doesn't chart every note for are cymbal sustains (they'll typically just chart them as 8th notes, since they're sorta arhythmic). Other than that, drum rudiments are fine. I still play on the RB1 kit, and as long as you aren't playing 32nd note rolls at 140, it's very doable on the RB1 kit.
Rock Band needs some Genesis and Helmet.
On the flam question. I charted flam hits on red and yellow with the yellow hitting on the beat and the red hitting 128 note following. I felt this was the most accurrate representation of the hit while pointing out that it is a two stick movement. I let my friend play it and he never missed it. But he flipped out on me when he watched it autoplay and told me how ridiculous it was. It was quite funny when i pointed out to him that the reason he nailed them every time, is because it was natural to do it that way. I say set trends. This has allowed musicians to chart songs to feel natural. Why fight it with rules based on tradition. Just because that is "the way we have always done it" doesn't make it right.
BTW. I only charted these odd looking flams on expert level. I take the stance of "you asked to play it like an expert here it is"
My two cents
Hmm... interesting. One problem I see with doing it that way is it makes you play a certain sticking for the flam (in your case, a left handed flam). I know that, personally, I almost always play right handed flams if given the choice, and making it so I have to play it left handed would sorta screw me up. Honestly, I would have to play a few songs with them charted like that to figure out whether they feel natural or not.
Also, there's nothing stopping you from playing the flams as actual flams the way HMX has been charting it, as long you play them reasonably closed. I'll almost always play flams if I know that that's what they are.
Rock Band needs some Genesis and Helmet.
I don't mean to distract from other people's inquiries, but I need some help.
Now that I'm working on the other difficulties I'm having trouble with what to keep and what not to. Do the hard and medium charts in my first image look as if I'm going about it the right way?
Also, how would you suggest breaking down the bass in my second image?
What's a kuiosikle?

Minimizing the threat of West Nile Virus
West Nile is a virus carried by mosquitoes that feed on an infected bird. The mosquito can then
infect people, horses and many types of birds. Scientists do not believe the virus is spread from
person to person or from animal to person. Washington State Department of Agriculture
considers The West Nile Virus to be a serious threat to the state. Agency staff are working with local, state and
federal agencies to minimize the threat. Protecting horses and other equinesThe West Nile virus affects horses, mules, donkeys and other equines more often than other animals. Most horses infected with the virus do not become ill or show any symptoms at all. Those that do become ill may show signs such as loss of appetite, loss of coordination, confusion, fever, stiffness, muscle tremors, and weakness. Approximately one-third of horses that become ill will die. Discuss with your veterinarian about the West Nile Virus vaccine. The vaccine requires two doses three to six weeks apart and immunity may not be achieved until up to six weeks after the second dose. An annual booster should be given a few weeks to a month prior to the start of the mosquito season in your area. To minimize the threat of West Nile virus, control mosquito populations and prevent exposure to mosquitoes. Report suspected cases of West Nile Virus in horses to:

After 1.5 million hours of work by 1,500 people, BP-Husky Refining is celebrating the completion of a major fuel line project in Oregon.
The project means better fuel and less tear on the local environment.
"It's been a $400 million project," said Mark Dangler, president of BP-Husky. "That really improves the efficacy and competitiveness of this refinery."
The new Reformer 3 takes the naturally-occurring gas in crude oil and improves the burning characteristics to make more efficient fuel.
"It's reducing our emissions of this plant by 5 percent, which builds on a 45 percent reduction since 2000," Dangler said.
The project also helped the local economy.
"It created 1,500 [jobs] over the course of two years, and really impacted the local community," Dangler said.
Developers said they are the prime example of what good construction looks like, and their number one goal of safety should be applied everywhere: In the two years of construction for the project, there were no lost time injuries.
"One-point-five million construction hours, zero lost time injuries. That has to be unheard of," said state Rep. Matt Szollosi (D – Toledo).

Iron ore shipments on Great Lakes up slightly in 2012
The tonnage of iron ore shipped on the Great Lakes during 2012 increased slightly from 2011, while the tonnages of coal and limestone decreased, according to figures released by the LakeBy: News Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune
The tonnage of iron ore shipped on the Great Lakes during 2012 increased slightly from 2011, while the tonnages of coal and limestone decreased, according to figures released by the Lake Carriers' Association.
The numbers are for the calendar year and not for the shipping season that is drawing to a close. The Soo Locks closed at midnight last night, but some lakers still are hauling cargos. The John G. Munson is expected to arrive in Superior early next week for winter layup, ending the shipping season for the Twin Ports. Season-end tonnage numbers will be available after that.
According to the Lake Carriers' Association, 61.6 million tons of iron ore were shipped last year, an increase of 245,000 tons from the year before and nearly 7.7 million tons 14.2 percent) more than the five-year average.
While iron ore shipments from U.S. ports decreased 2.5 percent from 2011, they increased at Minnesota and Wisconsin ports: from 7.7 million tons in 2011 to 8 million tons last year from Duluth; from 8.9 million to 9.7 million tons from Superior; from 16.3 million to 16.6 million tons from
Two Harbors; and from 6 million to 6.1 million tons from Silver Bay.
Coal shipments on the Great Lakes totaled 25.3 million tons last year, an 8.2 percent decrease from 2011 and 25 percent off the average for the preceding five years.
Coal shipments from Superior declined only slightly from 2011 to 2012: from 14.29 million to 14.26 million tons. The five-year average for Superior is 18.7 million tons.
Shipments of limestone on the Great Lakes totaled 27.1 million tons in 2012, a decrease of 3.6 percent from 2011 and 7 percent below the five-year
Low water levels and inadequate dredging affected shipping, according to the Lake Carriers' Association. The largest coal cargo shipped through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., last year was 64,706 tons. During a period of high water levels during the late 1990s, a U.S.-flag laker was able to carry nearly 71,000 tons in a single trip.
The Lake Carriers' Association represents 17 American companies that operate 57 U.S.-flag vessels on the Great Lakes.

Home fuse project
Kernel of Life
The Gates Foundation and Wired magazine asked fuseproject to create a concept for a diagnostic health care device. Kernel is our answer to the complications of treating chronic illnesses in the developing world, malaria in particular. When the nearest doctor is days away, both treatment and diagnosis can be accomplished through the cloud based and embedded medical tests that Kernel offers. The four quadrant bio-sensing absorbent pad, allows users to test their blood, saliva, urine and breath. Designed to work with a range of standard handsets and smart phones; test results are transmitted via bluetooth to a mobile app allowing patients to be continuously monitored remotely via the cloud, with reminders such as medicine intake or doctor's visits.
Live UP24
"People can't get enough insights" is what we've heard, and the Jawbone answer is an UP designed around 24-hour engagement, wirelessly. From a new texture inspired by the circadian rhythms of life and easy transitions from night to day; hardware and software are fluidly integrated to reveal the obvious connections between what happens throughout the day and night, and how it affects how we feel.
24/7, it's the way you live, and it's the way UP24 lives with you.

Just Play
First came the SodaStream SOURCE, and now the latest, most minimal, affordable, colorful and customizable PLAY is being readied for you. "Just in time" delivery and "do it yourself" empowerment, combined with sustainable ways of consuming are the cornerstones of the new direction.
As part of SodaStream's installation at designjunction during the London Design Festival, we are excited to launch PLAY as well as the new bottle design. Both are fit for your table and kitchen, in customizable multi-color hues of course!
More on the designMINI JAMBOX: BIG LOVE
"Make it as small as possible! Make it as loud as possible!"
Our design journey to re-invent the category-leading Jawbone speaker into your pocketable friend started with these contradictory ideas.
Explorations of new materials and manufacturing processes led us to an anodized aluminum extrusion and unique machining methods. Form and function are truly merged as MINI JAMBOX is the smallest speaker in the JAMBOX family, yet its rigid acoustic cavity affords maximum volume for the sound chamber. Fewer materials and a simpler assembly, many choices of crafted textures and colors, robustness and a crisp loud sound: MINI JAMBOX is our big love song to you.

More about Mini designCoffee, Your Way
What makes people wait in line for their coffee?
Our partner Briggo delivers the full organic, fair trade, cup of coffee people have come to expect. But this time one literally builds their own cup on our newly designed digital app, adding ingredients and choosing exactly what they want their coffee to be like. Compared to a traditional ordering experience, the Briggo app is easy and fast, with delivery of a cup as one arrives at the "haus" location. Once the coffee is exactly how you like it, you can be sure that no matter which Coffee Haus you get it from, it will be exactly and perfectly replicated.
The design of the small environment follows a similar thread: it is easy to install in airports, hospitals, corporate and university campuses where mobility and quality are key. The concept of an extruded small house shape with table and stools reminds us of a place rather than a robot or a vending machine, with glass, wood veneers, and aluminum, and a computer that knows your name and how to make coffee your way. Everytime.
Fuseproject designed the new user interface and protective cover concurrently to ensure continuity with the original design language of the One Laptop Per Child, while delivering a new tablet based learning experience. Centered around the idea of aspirational "dreams", the main screen is organized around topics rather than applications. A clear hierarchy of information makes tiers of learning within each dream easy to follow and access, a key element of the new child-centric XO Learning System interface.
The One Laptop Per Child Association has distributed 2.5 million of the original XO Laptop in 60 countries, and is now launching the new $150 tablet in the US starting at Walmart, as well as in developing countries such as Uruguay, Cambodia and Barbados.
At a store near you, OUYA!
Less than a year ago, OUYA partnered with fuseproject and presented a revolutionary idea on Kickstarter: an open game console and controller to activate the creativity of a community of developers and gamers.
People liked the idea: 63,000 of them ordered! 17,000 developers signed on and made 170 games (more than any other console launch in history)!
And today, OUYA launches in 1000 retail stores.
The journey continues…

Herman Miller's new PUBLIC
In theory, we could all be working from home, but the reason why people still want to go to an office is to collaborate with others. Under the sea change initiative that Herman Miller's Living Office represents, our Public Office Landscape addresses collaboration not in moments, but as movement throughout an office: "Social Desking" that invites dialogue at the desk, "Group spaces" to allow collaboration in proximity, and "Interstitial spaces" which convert in-between spaces into community space, are sets of ideas and furniture solutions that make up Public Office Landscape.
We believe collaboration doesn't just happen in conference rooms—it happens everywhere. With over 45 pieces to mix, match and make your own, Public creates get-together areas in close proximity to individual workstations and encourages productive interaction that drives organizations forward.

How many of your Facebook friends do you truly know in real-life? How many of them do you see on a regular basis?
Uniiverse can spark real-life interactions between you and someone new, but we also want to help you stay closer to your friends and family. Your personal network is extremely important, and we're happy to announce a new Uniiverse feature that allows you to share brilliantly with the people who matter most. Introducing (drumroll please…) listing invisibility cloaks! (just kidding…sort of) You can now create private and semi-private listings on Uniiverse.
Here's how it works. When you create a listing, you can now select exactly who can see and book it. You can choose for it to be:
- available to the general public
- available to just your Facebook friends
- available to select people (unlisted and password protected listings)
Uniiverse is even more powerful now that you can share with specific people. Sometimes less is more.
We're excited to see (and not see) what ideas you come-up with using this powerful tool:
- Invite friends to a party or get-together. Split the cost of drinks, food or entertainment. They can pay you directly through the site!
- Invite friends to a fun weekend away. Going on a ski trip? Split the cost of accommodation and transportation. Ride-share!
- Create a private service that only your friends or loved ones can book. Remember giving mom coupons when you were a kid? Go high tech this year and offer her access to a yearlong Mother's Day helper!
- Share an item or space with only your friends (you might not share certain things with the whole world, but you'd share it with friends, maybe for a cheaper price, or even for free!)
Now, to drop some science: the average Facebook user has 245 friends – but that's more than what's known as the "Dunbar Number". Research from the University of Oxford suggests that there's a natural limit to the number of relationships humans can process: about 150 people. With Uniiverse, you can now build mini sharing economies with the people who matter to you. Or, share with the world and bring new people into your circles!
We're very excited to make this option available. You can share what you want, with whom you want, when you want! Keep the Uniiverse close, and your network even closer.

Kevin, Do you still have the original source unpacked where you built that install? Chances are, you could simply do 'make uninstall'. Also, you could rebuild mpich2 the same way as you did before make make install make uninstall and it should, in theory, overwrite all the older files and the 'make uninstall' should get rid of it for you. This seems rather 'clumsy' but it is the only way I can think of to fully uninstall it. -Brian On Thu, 2005-07-28 at 18:57 +0100, Cheng, Kevin wrote: > > Does anyone know how to fully/safely uninstall MPICH2?

By Robert Burns The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Suicides in the U.S. military surged to a record 349 last year, far exceeding American combat deaths in Afghanistan, and some private experts are predicting the dark trend will grow worse this year.
The Pentagon has struggled to deal with the suicides, which Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and others have called an epidemic. The problem reflects severe strains on military personnel burdened with more than a decade of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, complicated by anxiety over the prospect of being forced out of a shrinking force.
Pentagon figures obtained Monday by The Associated Press show that the 349 suicides among active-duty troops last year were up from 301 the year before and exceeded the Pentagon's own internal projection of 325. Statistics alone do not explain why troops take their own lives, and the Pentagon's military and civilian leaders have acknowledged that more needs to be done to understand the causes.
Last year's total is the highest since the Pentagon began closely tracking suicides in 2001. It exceeds the 295 Americans who died in Afghanistan last year, by the AP's count.
Some in Congress are pressing the Pentagon to do more.
Military suicides began rising in 2006 and soared to a then-record 310 in 2009 before leveling off for two years. It came as a surprise to many that the numbers resumed an upward climb this year, given that U.S. military involvement in Iraq is over and the Obama administration is taking steps to wind down the war in Afghanistan.
"Now that we're decreasing our troops and they're coming back home, that's when they're really in the danger zone, when they're transitioning back to their families, back to their communities and really finding a sense of purpose for themselves," said Kim Ruocco, whose husband, Marine Maj. John Ruocco, killed himself between Iraq deployments in 2005. She directs a suicide prevention program for a support group, Tragedy Assistance Programs, or TAPS.
The Army, by far the largest of the military services, had the highest number of suicides among active-duty troops last year at 182, but the Marine Corps, whose suicide numbers had declined for two years, had the largest percentage increase - a 50 percent jump to 48. The Marines' worst year was 2009's 52 suicides.
The Air Force recorded 59 suicides, up 16 percent from the previous year, and the Navy had 60, up 15 percent.
All of the numbers are tentative, pending the completion later this year of formal pathology reports on each case.
David Rudd, a military suicide researcher and dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Utah, said he sees two main categories of troops who are committing suicide at an accelerating pace: Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffering from depression, post-traumatic stress or substance abuse, and those who have not gone to war but face troubled personal relationships, money problems or legal woes.
He is not optimistic about a decline soon.
"Actually, we may continue to see increases," he said.
The Pentagon says although the military suicide rate has been rising, it remains below that of the civilian population. It says the civilian suicide rate for males aged 17-60 was 25 per 100,000 in 2010, the latest year for which such statistics are available. That compares with the military's rate in 2012 of 17.5 per 100,000.
Officials say they are committed to pursuing ways of finding help for service members in trouble.
"Our most valuable resource within the department is our people. We are committed to taking care of our people, and that includes doing everything possible to prevent suicides in the military," Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith said.
Each year, the Pentagon performs an in-depth study of the circumstances of each suicide. The most recent year for which that analysis is available is 2011, and among the findings was that those who took their own lives tended to be white men under the age of 25, in the junior enlisted ranks, with less than a college education.
The analysis of 2011's 301 military suicides also found that the suicide rate for divorced service members was 55 percent higher than for those who were married. It determined that 60 percent of military suicides were committed with the use of firearms - and in most cases the guns were personal weapons, not military-issued.
That study also found that most service members who attempted suicide - about 65 percent - had a known history of behavior problems, whereas 45 percent of those who actually completed the act and killed themselves had such a history.
One such case was Army Spc. Christopher Nguyen, 29, who killed himself last August at an off-post residence he shared with another member of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, according to his sister, Shawna Nguyen.
"He was practically begging for help and nothing was done," she said.
She said he had been diagnosed with an "adjustment disorder" - a problem of coping with the uncertainties of returning home after three deployments in war zones. She believes the Army failed her brother by not doing more to ensure that he received the help he needed before he became suicidal.
"It's the responsibility of the military to help these men and women," she said. "They sent them over there (to war); they should be helping them when they come back."

Tuesday's session included speeches on improving testing and treatment options and increasing domestic spending on HIV/AIDS research.
Other highlights from the week included discussions about political leadership strategies and community engagement aimed at improving testing and treatment programs. On Thursday, former First Lady Laura Bush addressed the conference.

According to GameIndustry.biz, Paul Oughton, Bethesda's publishing executive has been briefly discussing the companies plans in general, as well as indicating that the next Elder Scrolls title should be with us sometime in 2010. It was also interesting to note that despite Nintendo's success with it's home and handheld consoles, Bethesda had no interest in releasing their games on other platforms. Source: GameIndustry.biz
This is good news - I'd rather see them do it right than make a half assed game just to get some money. Also i hope it's not a MMORPG
I also hope it's not a MMORPG.... I doubt they'll release unfinished game... never did it until now... Bethesda owns I also hope they remove quick travel option.... kinda ruined the experience i had from ES3:MWND... Morrowind is kinda better than Oblivion... only the graphics are obviously better than MWND
I played Oblivion and then went back to Morrowind. Morrowind just made me bored for the most part. The two things that make Oblivion infinitely better is the voice overs (next to no required reading) and a better stealth system. The thing I like the most about open-ended games is the ability to operate as you see fit. The more ways they facilitate in the game, the more entertain it is. I mean, you could play Oblivion with a sneaky approach one time, a beat everything over with a hammer another time, and throw fireballs the third time. I don't know how they could really add to that but if they could at least improve what was there in Oblivion, I would be happy.
Sweet. Oblivion came out in 2006 didn't it? That's a decent release cycle. I like that you can mod stuff. You see a small handful of people complaining about Diablo 2's art direction, but when Oblivion came out people started modding anything they didn't like instead of throwing a fit. Now you can turn the game into anything you want it to be, so there are no complaints from anyone.
Don't think so. It would be their ruin, and it's not as if they need it. With the outstanding sales and downloadable content they would make much more money than trying to capture an audience that probably would prefer other MMORPGs, while losing the current fanbase in the meantime. I can speak for my friends and brothers (every TES fan I know in reality): WE WOULD NEVER BUY A MMORPG TES. I think Bethesda already knows this, screwing your fan base is not wise...
this is really great! i was just playing oblivion last night and wondering when/if they'd make a new elder scrolls game and how cool it would be.
I wouldn't want to develop for ancient hardware either. No offense, but Nintendo's products are almost all novelty these days.
I do remember them mentioning that the next ES could be an MMO. I'd like to see an MMO from them, because I trust they would do something good in the genre, but given the track record of modern MMOs, it might be a bad thing too. However, I doubt they'll do both, it's probably one or the other.
I would not mind seeing multiplayer on this game as long as i don't have to dish out 30$ a month for it.
Cool, this just reminds me that I need to get around to finishing Oblivion. More importantly, I need to get around to modding it the way I want it and getting all the mods to play nicely

Has Elvis not yet left the building?April 27, 2013Editor: An Elvis impersonator has sent poison in a letter to the president. It is about time that Congress appoints a committee to study the relationship of Elvis impersonators to violence in Americ.... PuremagixMaybe we should ban pressure cookers as well. After all, they were used in the Boston Marathon bombing. After all, since we are being so ridiculous about banning guns, we may as well go further on the ridiculous side by banning something else used by terrorist to harm us. They have used cell phones for years as a way to trigger their bombs, but we haven't heard a peep out of anyone about banning cell phones. So why have guns been such a popular target. I believe we would be far more affective banning Muslims. After all, it is these people who do the actual harming, not the objects they use. 3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TruthSeekerAs hilarious as this article is, Mr. Cox shows us all just how 'mentally incompetent' progressives are.

When I work with the Fitter & Faster Team, I know that no matter what we do, we do it big! We take an idea and we do everything possible to make it the best thing out there. When you're working with a group of Olympic Swimmers, you know that we're competitive, disciplined, and we never settle for anything but an epic success.

Cool Gear to Warm Up on the Pool Deck
As swimmers we choose to expose ourselves to extreme weather conditions in the hopes that all of our hard work will soon pay off. As we tread deeper into the colder seasons, our parkas and warm-ups become vital accessories to keep our bodies warm and insulated. Nobody wants to have chills prior to diving in for a 200-yard swim.

1.) We all know long training sessions are not always the most glamorous, what is the thing you love about training most and what's your least favorite?
I don't know many people who enjoy anything about practice (haha). But I love the feeling you get after having a really good practice and you're really pumped about practicing the next day. You can't wait to get to the pool and have an even better practice. I also like the feeling of getting stronger and better each day I practice. There is always something to work on. On the other hand, my least favorite thing about practice is waking up Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 5:30 am. It's tough but you know it's for the best. Getting up and actually going to practice and actually jumping in the freezing cold pool is another one of my least favorite things. But once you're actually there and swimming, it's not bad.

nVidia reports record revenues and profits for FY07
According to this, nVidia has reported revenues of $4.10 billion for its full fiscal year, which ended on the seemingly randon January 27, compared to $3.07 billion for the same period a year ago. Profits were $797.6 million, up from profits of $448.8 million from the same period a year ago.

Sony stock stiffs on limp earnings
While Sony's games division may have gone into the black, a small rise in profit and a cut outlook in recent quarterly financials damaged the company's shares to the tune of 7 percent today, says this.
"The earnings report prompted HSBC to cut its rating on Sony to 'neutral' from 'overweight', citing the risk that a weakening U.S. economy and the strengthening yen could sap future profits at the maker of PlayStation 3 game consoles and Vaio PCs," said the report.
Jubilation in the games trade met the news that Sony's PlayStation division had finally turned a profit earlier this week, and any dip is already being seen as short-lived.
"Investors appear to be overselling Sony," said Koichi Ogawa, a chief portfolio manager at Daiwa SB Investments. "Maybe this presents a buying opportunity for the stock as, if you take a step back and see, Sony has started making profits on its game business."

Nice sound from built-in speakers. Good sale price. Have not tried it with computer yet, but it has a USB port. Unfortunately, this version did not come with a stand, so it must be placed on a table.

Calling Partnerships
As Founder & CEO of Tamome I announce we are open for partnerships within the mobile affiliate advertising market sector. The Tamome team have been quietly building our technology since February of this year and we are now live with major clients. We are looking to extend partnerships with advertisers, affiliates, publishers and app developers. The time has come for the birth of mobile affiliation, a massively overlooked market segment that warrants some attention.
We have strong ambitions to drive this froward; with all our knowledge, insight, motivations, passion and general love of the industry we hope to disrupt the market through creating exciting opportunity for all our partners and partners customers alike. We invite you to participate in the next generation of mobile advertising.
A little bit of vision
With smartphone and tablet penetration accelerating across the globe and with more and more people using this as their means to stay connected with the world; always on, always connected and always with us. This has become the preferred method of; communicating with friends, family, colleagues, TV Shows, entertainment, finding out what is happening in the world, sharing content on a global scale in seconds, navigating our way around the worlds cities and towns, letting our utility suppliers know how much we owe them, staying in touch with what is important to us, researching, understanding perceived value of anything through to buying digital goods, products or services and making payments. It is no wonder that in such a short period of time where this is happening right in front of our eyes, we still cannot even begin to imagine where it will take us in the future.
Technology is so powerful; it has allowed the human race to advance in ways that were just simply not even conceivable before its time. 'Before its time'…I am not sure what I mean by that. Since technology has been around longer than the human race. It seems strange even writing that; but I believe the reality of technology starts with life itself and the evolution of the world that we know and live in today. Mobile technology is just one element of a whole world of biological and non-biological technology evolutions. Non-biological evolutions need a creator, a creator can exist because of biological evolutions. Make sense? I think 'technology' is an almost impossible thing to define but I think we have to split this in these two pieces.
Biological Evolution of living technology
'Technology that were Creators'
Non-Biological Evolution of non-living technology
with the biological evolution of technology that were creators
'technology that was created'
So it should be clear now that mobile sits within the Technology that was made by Technology that were creators space. Why is this important? We need to understand the context of the bigger picture rather than just looking at mobile.
Technology evolution depends on its creators. That is you and I. Creators evolve according to their natural evolution (remember we are biological technology). Now the lines start to blur because you could ask 'are we evolving according to the technology that we are creating?' Anyway, another time for that one.
We have since life began carved, manufactured, developed, created concepts of technology to ultimately make our existence on earth enriched, easier and healthier. The internet has enabled us to put all our thoughts, ideas and concepts all into one place, like a giant brain. Thanks to mobile technology this brain is now accessible to us all across the connected world like being on a drip. We can open it and close it as and when we feel. Its always there, its always on but we are in control as to when we use it to make our days enriched, easier or healthier. This is the power of mobile and why like no other industry it is growing at a rate that we have never seen before anywhere else in our time. I am proud to be part of such an amazing evolution of technology and communication that is simply extraordinary.
