Astronomical highlight for future months

Is there a source for astronomical highlights for the coming months? There are lots of things for the present month, but our club publicist would like to put out stuff for the future, with a 2-3 month lead. NASA's Space Calendar is the closest thing, but does not give the kind of telexcopic observational things we are interested in.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:24 PM
Astronomy magazine publishes an annual year ahead supplement in December I think -- a month by month breakdown of planatary positions, etc. If you have a club member who subscribes and has that issue that should help your newsletter editor look ahead for the entire year.
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:26 PM
I think the various astronomy almanacs do some of this. And to some extent, farmer almanacs also give some astronomy information. The key to what you asked is the phrase "observational things we are interested in." In my opinion, the ultimate solution for your group is observation planning software, such as SkyTools 3.

I bought a calendar with this exact sort of thing on it at Staples last year. Mine was titled "The Solar System", and each month has a picture of a different SS object and a long list of events for the month.
This website is prominant on the back: www.browntrout.com (no, it's not a joke).

i think I should have specified that we are looking for something online. I have plenty of reference books to find this stuff. I think our publicity guy does not want to do a lot of typing, so we need an online resource that he can cut & paste.

What kind of astronomical highlights are you looking for?
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:40 AM
Anything visually interesting from comets to planetary conjunctions to DSOs of note. The two monthly guides that appear on CN would do, but they are not available in advance.

Try the Celestial Events forum at the top of the list of forums on this site. Dave has monthly list of DSO's that you can go through and pick out the best objects to look at. Just scan back and you can see each monthly column for the whole year. You can go to http://www.Skyhound.com and check out the comets that are visible. And you can also check out http://www.rochester...y.org/snimages/ for any curent Nova's that can be seen.

Thanks. I think that is what we are looking for.

Citizens and state government agencies would not be allowed to use unmanned drones to pry into the lives of Missourians, under a measure heard by a House Agri-business Committee Tuesday, Feb. 5.
The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Casey Guernsey, R-Bethany, would only permit the use of drones for surveillance with a warrant.
Several farming organizations in the state as well as the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union voiced their support for the measure. Guernsey said he plans to change some provisions of this legislation to ensure it doesn't outlaw business use of drones, particularly for farming.
But the ban could have a impact on a Columbia NPR affiliate, KBIA/91.3 FM. The station is operated at the University of Missouri's flagship campus and recently received a grant to operate its own drone.
In response, Guernsey said after the hearing that he doesn't want to create problems for education and has no problem with the students learning about drone technology; however, he is concerned about them using it for news-gathering.
"If we're moving into an age of news agencies using drones to collect information on private citizens, I'm definitely concerned about that," Guernsey said.
KBIA's content director, Scott Pham, was at the hearing but didn't testify one way or another. After the hearing, however, Pham told Guernsey the drone is different than a military drone in that it can stay in the air no more than 14 minutes. He also said the station doesn't use the drone over any land without permission from the owner.
"I'm in public radio, you know, we're not chasing down ambulances, we're not looking for criminals or scandals or something, we're telling these big deep stories that seek to explain," Pham said.
The Associated Press reported that a total of nine states have currently proposed limiting the use of drones by police.

UCIT Online
UCIT Online is a hi-tech security company strictly focusing on video surveillance and remote monitoring technology designed to replace security guards in a variety of sectors.
UCIT Online was founded by Sidney Sommer in 2003. With nearly a decade of experience in the security/surveillance industry, he began his career working for Vidair AG, a German aerospace company specializing in onboard video surveillance systems.
While working at Vidair, Sidney successfully launched the North American Sales and Marketing operations in Toronto, Canada (1999) as well as the Sales and Technical Support Centre in San Antonio, Texas (2001).
Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, Sidney Sommer was among a distinguished group of technical specialists invited by Boeing to provide a demonstration of a Cockpit Door Surveillance System. Following that engagement, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) began allocating significant funds for further development of such systems.
Today Sidney is focusing all his energy towards a cure for the ever-increasing epidemic of construction site material theft.

I don't want to create a discussion about singleton better than static or better than global, etc. I read dozens of questions about similar subjects on SO, but I couldn't come up with an answer to this SPECIFIC question, so I hope someone could now illuminate me by answering this question with one (or more) real simple EXAMPLES, and not just theoretical discussions.
In my app I have the typical DB class to abstract the DB layer and to perform tasks on DB without having to write everywhere in code
mysql_connect / mysql_select_db / mysql...
I could write the class either as a STATIC CLASS:
class DB
private static $connection = FALSE; //connection to be opened
//DB connection values
private static $server = NULL; private static $usr = NULL; private static $psw = NULL; private static $name = NULL;
public static function init($db_server, $db_usr, $db_psw, $db_name)
//simply stores connections values, without opening connection
public static function query($query_string)
//performs query over alerady opened connection, if not open, it opens connection 1st
OR as a SINGLETON:
class DBSingleton
private $inst = NULL;
private $connection = FALSE; //connection to be opened
//DB connection values
private $server = NULL; private $usr = NULL; private $psw = NULL; private $name = NULL;
public static function getInstance($db_server, $db_usr, $db_psw, $db_name)
//simply stores connections values, without opening connection
if($inst === NULL)
$this->inst = new DBSingleton();
return $this->inst;
private __construct()...
public function query($query_string)
//performs query over already opened connection, if connection is not open, it opens connection 1st
Then after in my app if I want to query the DB i could do
//Performing query using static DB object
DB:init(HOST, USR, PSW, DB_NAME);
//Performing query using DB singleton
$temp = DBSingleton::getInstance(HOST, USR, PSW, DB_NAME);
To me Singleton has got the only advantage to avoid declaring as
static each method of the class. I'm sure some of you could give me an EXAMPLE of real advantage of singleton in this specific case. Thanks in advance.

Youth Offending
Devon Youth Offending Service
The purpose of the Devon Youth Offending Service is to reduce offending by children and young people.
The Service comprises all the key local agencies with a contribution to make in reducing youth offending - police, social services, education, probation and health.
There are three teams whose areas are coterminous with District Council boundaries:
- North Devon Youth Offending Team - Torridge, North Devon and West Devon
- Exeter Youth Offending Team - Exeter, East Devon and Mid-Devon
- South Devon Youth Offending Team - Teignbridge and South Hams
Devon was one of the first areas to establish Youth Offending Teams. The teams are developing a range of services targeted at young people who have committed offences, or who may be at risk of doing so.
The Youth Offending Teams make young offenders face up to the consequences of their behaviour for themselves, their victims and the wider community. The Service seeks to turn young offenders away from crime towards more constructive activities, both inside and outside school.
It tackles issues like poor parental supervision, truancy and school exclusion and substance misuse - which can place young people at risk of becoming involved in crime.
Youth Offending Teams are involved in a number of projects working with schools (e.g. with young people who may be regarded as 'at risk' of exclusion or who are identified as 'vulnerable' at the point of transition from primary to secondary school) as well as with individuals and their families. Since the establishment of the three Youth Offending Teams there has been a marked reduction in youth crime in Devon.

Nice case
This review is from: Clear TPU Hard Gel Silicone Case compatible with HTC EVO Sprint 3D
Pros: This case fits my HTC EVOV4G phone quite well. The case is lightweight, well-designed, and provides access for all ports on the phone. It also provides access to all other necessary components of the phone such as the camera, the flash, the speaker, the microphone, the micro USB port, all buttons, rockers, etc. It wraps around the front edges of the phone nicely and it does not block anything such as the front-facing camera, the LED, the soft buttons, or the screen itself. The charging cable plugs into the phone with the cover on with no problems; it charges fine. The case is comfortable to the touch while on the phone, it is quite easy to grip (unless perhaps you have wet/sweaty hands while handling it), and it is quite slim; it does not increase the overall thickness of the phone by much. IMO, this is a good case for the price.
Cons: Not really a con, but the grips on the side would be a bit more comfortable with a more "rubberized" feel to them, but they are fairly comfortable as is.
Other Thoughts: Case made in China; shipped by NE. Good product; worth the price.

You guys need to HTFU. Why, back in my day...
Used to race Norcal many years ago. Got a question. The Dunnigan road races started going west up the hill and then south. There was an area before the downhill the road was literally ground up to a gravel road. It was nasty with gravel and loose pavement. Did they ever fix that stretch of road?
Dunnigan has been clockwise for as long as I remember. And while the road surface is crappy in places (it is a VeloPromo race after all), I don't recall any gravel. Are you possibly thinking of Leesville Gap?
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
Good article about the Early Bird series: http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/page/t...4#.Uq50iY29Kc0
It's comin up soon!!
I got online to register for the Early Birds, and noticed they have "Cat 5 under 30" and "cat 5 30+".
Well... I'm 29, so racing age will be 30. Not sure if it matters which one I sign up for? Anyone know?
Yep, they emailed back and said 30+. But that means I can do both training races if I want
Yeah, I jumped in with the U30 group a couple of years back as a spry 40 yr old. No one seemed too concerned at reg since the "results" aren't recorded.
Been down and out sick this week, so bored and thinking about racing and watching countless race videos.
Who all is coming out to Cal Aggie on Saturday?
edit: at least the Tour Down Under is on the TV.
I'll be there! Excited to do a real race.
Also been enjoying the tdu, finally bike racing is back on tv!!
Are you familiar with the route/course? I wasn't, so I drove it on Sunday on my way home from early bird. It isn't too bad, a bit of a climb coming in to the finish, but nothing too extreme. The only part that may be problematic is the turn into the finish/bump. It's pretty tight, off camber, with a steep drop down a shoulder and barb wired fence on either side. I imagine people will be gearing up pretty hard coming into the turn as there is about 300m to the finish from there. People may be strung out a bit though from the climb coming in to that turn though.
Ends shortly after patterson and cross roads

A mother, son and daughter will share milestone birthdays on Nov. 6. Twins Carol and Darryl Aulenbach will turn 50, and their mom, M. Jeanette (Nettie) Aulenbach, will be 75.
Born in 1963 in the Reading Hospital, Carol and Darryl weighed a combined 12 lbs. and were about five days overdue. The twins came as a surprise despite the mother-to-be�s oversize belly. A nurse at the hospital heard two heartbeats a few days before delivery. After delivering the babies, Mom recalls a delivery room nurse exclaim, �You have two beautiful babies! If you don�t want them, I�ll take them.�
Mom earned her 15 minutes of fame when a local AM radio station selected her �Mother of the Day.� The Baby Bank program included a recorded interview that aired Nov. 7, 1963. The hospital discharged Mom and the kids on Nov. 16, the birthday of the twins� father, the late Louis R. Aulenbach.
Dad Louie occasionally bragged that he never forgot a birthday. In fact, one of Louie�s two brothers, the late Franklin Aulenbach, also shared a Nov. 6 birthday. Imagine if Louie�s and Franklin�s birthdays had been reversed!
All four members of the Aulenbach family graduated from Fleetwood Area High School between 1953 and 1981. Nettie lives in Fleetwood close to the home where she was born and is a retired Fleetwood Borough secretary. Darryl lives in Ruscombmanor Township and is a supervisor at East Penn Manufacturing. Carol resides in Spring Township and is a senior marketing communications specialist at Carpenter Technology.

Club Laly Mobile
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Having recently been the one to review the site Club Laly I was feeling very familiar with this babe as I grabbed the iPod Touch and headed into Club Laly Mobile. I knew I was going to see a very sexy French girl doing hardcore porn and that is exactly what I got.
There is no info about Laly on the mobile site, but your membership to ClubLalyMobile gets you access to the non-mobile version and there you will find an "about" section where you can read how this hottie went from police officer to reality TV star to pornstar to now running her own porn production company.
She has produced a number of scripted porn films and you will find scenes from those on her site (she doesn't always star in every scene) as well as videos with a more gonzo style. Most of the movies are straight one-on-one, but there are also solo scenes, hot lesbian hookups and threesomes, both MMF and FFM.
The site looks good and is easy to navigate. However, the only way to get through the collection is one page at a time - there is no option to skip ahead or back by more than one page. Now, at this point, with only four pages of content it's not an issue. The collection hasn't updated in over six months now, too, so who knows if it's going to get any bigger.
There are 51 movies (but no photo sets). Each video comes with content tags as well as "starring" tags so that you can easily find more scenes with a specific performer. Also, I must say that the movies looked excellent on my mobile device, which isn't surprising given that the non-mobile site provides HD content.
Finally, it isn't obvious (because it isn't really mentioned anywhere), but your membership gets you access to the rest of the Open Life Mobile network of sites and the non-mobile Open Life network ones as well. Other mobile sites to check out include Aaliyah Love Mobile and Cassandra Calogera Mobile.
Club Laly Mobile has reached a size that makes it possible to recommend and the addition of all of the network sites is some tasty icing on this horny cake.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

After Congress heir apparent Rahul Gandhi used the partys Chintan Shivir to position himself as the ultimate insider-outsider railing against a system that allows a chief minister to appoint a teacher and one which is designed to keep people with knowledge out and to maintain the status quo, its easy to see the weekend retreat as a strong affirmation that the party is behind the governments recent moves to re-start the stalled economic reforms programme. More so when you look at recent moves like allowing FDI in multi-brand retail or to free up diesel prices in a controlled mannerour lead story today quotes petroleum minister Veerappa Moily as saying there will be no diesel subsidies after two years (these add up to around R1,00,000 crore a year right now) as oil PSUs will regularly hike prices though it needs to be pointed out that the government notification to oil PSUs says nothing of the sort.
The problem with all of this, including Rahul Gandhis speech, is that with so many messages floating around, its difficult to isolate the central one. If it was about the importance of education, you just have to juxtapose the findings of the latest Pratham survey about the dramatic fall in educational outcomes in rural India to know that the Right to Education Act is part of the problem, not the solution; if it was about the commitment to raise agricultural growth to over 4%, you have to see the havoc created by policies that drive out private traders from the grain market and that ban farm exports from time to time, or the way cropping patterns are distorted by hiking support prices for certain crops; if it was about controlling inflation, then its obvious the policy that makes FCI keep three times the required stocks of foodgrain is the problem, not the solution. If the central aim, as the Jaipur Declaration proclaims, is to create 10 million jobs each year then the party would do well to ponder over whether its pro-labour-aristocracy policies are what has caused its woeful track record in job creationwhile GDP grew 1.6 times between FY00 and FY05 and employment rose from 396.8 million to 457.5 million, this slowed to just 460.2 million by FY10 even though GDP grew 2 times between FY05 and FY10. And talking to any industrialist would expose the hollowness of the pledge to create a business environment

The Prince William Purlers, a knitting guild in Prince William County in Northern Virginia, is actively giving back to the community through charity.
We choose a different charity project to support each month. We have knitted scarves and hats for the local homeless and abuse shelters. Caps, booties, and blankets have been made for babies born in our area hospitals so that they all have something new to wear home.
We have knitted chemo caps, lap robes and walker bags, which have gone to our nearby nursing homes, adult day care facility and hospice.
We have completed dishcloths for the area food kitchens to include with their bags of food. We have knitted hundreds of 7" by 9" squares as part of the Warm Up America Program, which we then sew into afghans.
Some of these charities are ongoing and will be on our schedule once or twice a year.
All of our projects are volunteer only and our guild members have been more than generous with their time and talents!

July 11 and why it could be "Bo Jackson Day"
Today is July 11 and we look back at three events that took place on this date involving former Royal Bo Jackson:
July 11, 1987: Bo announces his new "hobby"…which he compares to hunting or fishing. His idea of a hobby? Running back for the Los Angeles Raiders. Yes, playing in the NFL is a "hobby" for the Royals outfielder.
July 11, 1989: Bo plays in his first and what turns out to be his only MLB All-Star Game, hitting a leadoff homer as the A.L. wins 5-3. Bo would add a single and a stolen base, becoming the first player to homer and steal a base in an All- Star Game.
July 11, 1990: Bo makes an outstanding running catch, then literally runs up the outfield wall at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. Here's the video of that incredible play from MLB.com…we love the "Spiderman" reference !
A tremendous talent, Bo didn't need luck, however, 7-11 was his day! Be sure to pick up a copy of the latest Royals Baseball Insider magazine during the Tigers series as Royals Hall of Fame Director Curt Nelson looks back on Bo's All-Star Game heroics on this 25th anniversary.

The NCAA will no longer hold championship tournaments in states that permit betting on single games.
Chancellors and presidents from all three NCAA divisions approved the measure Thursday, saying it applies to "any session of an NCAA championship." It does not apply to states that allow parlay betting, lottery tickets, pull tabs and sports pools.
The move came one day after a federal judge denied a request by professional sports leagues and the NCAA to halt Delaware's planned sports betting lottery until a legal challenge is resolved.
A 1992 federal ban on sports betting exempted four states Delaware, Nevada, Montana and Oregon that already offered sports gambling. Delaware wants to allow betting on single games, and on sports other than professional football. The sports leagues contend that Delaware's new lottery goes beyond what is allowed by the exemption.
The NCAA has taken a similar tack before. In 2001, the governing body banned postseason games from South Carolina and Mississippi to protest the use of a Confederate images on the statehouse grounds.
Wagering, however, is an issue NCAA officials believe poses a threat to its games, and the organization has consistently taken a hard line against allowing more single-game betting.
In 2006, FBI agents were even dispatched to the NCAA men's basketball tournament to discuss gambling. It became clear they were needed when a couple of athletes got text messages from gamblers seeking inside information, an NCAA official said at the time.
The NCAA also has launched a Web site to advise schools to not allow ads or fundraisers that promote gambling, and has been studying how prevalent gambling is in college sports.
With states looking to find new revenue streams, some have turned to legalizing new forms of gambling.
Delaware, for example, believes it will raise $53 million from a sports betting lottery that was approved by the General Assembly in May. It is the only state east of the Rocky Mountains to offer legalized sports wagering.
The policy, however, allows sports pools, ending fears at the University of Montana in Missoula. Montana hosted three Football Championship Subdivision playoff games last fall, but state and university officials argued that Montana law allows betting on fantasy sports leagues, not on the outcome of single events.
"I applaud the NCAA for coming to a commonsense conclusion that preserves Montana's right to host playoff and tournament games," Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock said in a prepared statement. "Montana wholeheartedly supports its student athletes. Along with the NCAA, we remain committed to protecting the integrity of collegiate sports."

The beta version released in November last year was the first to offer Linux users video calls, given appropriate hardware.
Since the release of the initial beta version, the Skype developers have added a whole bunch of new features to the software, including a login function for the command line ("--pipelogin"), improved handling of incoming and outgoing calls using a click-and-hold button, and translations into various languages. The stable version adds a call cost per minute counter for calls to international phone networks (SkypeOut).
The new version also adds more privacy, giving users the ability to decide whether to automatically accept calls. The Release Notes have a full list of changes.
The proprietary Skype software can workaround most firewalls and NAT routers. The software supports several voice codes (SVOPC, AMR-WB, G.729, G.711); free telephony is available between Skype users. Calls to international phone networks are billed. Besides VoIP, Skype also provides Instant Messaging functionality.
The stable Skype 2.0 for Linux is available for downloading for all major Linux distributions as of now.

Whois-RWS Release Update
Posted: Sunday, 27 June 2010
On 26 June, ARIN rolled out Whois-RWS. Unfortunately, we experienced a very significant increase in traffic after rollout which exceeded our load capacity and caused the new service to degrade to an unacceptable level. To ensure customers could continue to access ARIN's Whois data, we have reverted to the old service which degrades more gracefully under load. We are examining the data gathered on the traffic patterns we experienced and are making the necessary changes to deploy Whois-RWS in the near future. We thank you for your patience, and we look forward to making the Whois-RWS service available for community use very soon.

Toy Couture
Shidonni's One-of-a-Kind
Once upon a time, some moms actually knew how to sew. And sew they would. Shirts. Pants. Dresses. Unfortunately, some of us still have the pictures – and the emotional scars from the teasing – to prove it.
Lucky for your kids, aside from the odd knit accessory, you won't be outfitting them in any one-of-a-kind originals. Then again, neither will you be turning their drawings into unique plush toys. Now, how ever will they learn that dreams really can come true?
Shidonni.com is how. The site allows kids to draw any character they want and send it into a virtual world of make believe. If you want, they'll even turn this vision into a real life plush toy that your little Maurice Sendak will not soon forget.

New Looks At 'Bad Teacher,' 'The Change-Up,' 'The Hangover 2' & 'Beginners' As Well
Yep, it's another batch of photos from this summer's upcoming movies so here is a roundup with our pithy comments to help you out. Most of these are from MTV's Summer Movie Preview with others from here are there so let's get started.
Oh look, another picture from "X-Men: First Class" which boldly goes in the same direction of having everyone standing around and grouped together! Scintillating! The mutants visit the set of "Mad Men" on June 3rd.
Apple has dropped two brand new pics from "Transformers: We Promise This One Won't Suck Has As Hard As Revenge Of Fallen." Rosie Huntington-Whiteley! A robot! Whoa! All of this is in anticipation of a new trailer which drops later this week. The film will skullfuck your eyes and ruin your eardrums with Linkin Park on July 1st.
"The Avengers" started filming this week and Marvel has brought down Skynet with their earth shattering set photo from the film featuring -- wait for it, and you might need to take a deep breath -- four chairs. We're not sure what's worse: that Marvel thinks this little of their fanbase or that this lame photo is actually making the rounds. Depressing. "The Avengers" will cram all their superheroes together on May 4, 2012.
Damn you, "Captain America: The First Avenger" we can't make fun of this pic. A pretty decent new look at Chris Evans doing his superhero thing. What can we say? We dig it. Joe Johnston will try to make us believe on July 22nd.
The Wolfpack is back in a picture from the upcoming sequel that doesn't have them looking greased up and obliterated from a night of partying. In fact, it looks like Jimmy Buffet might show up any moment. "The Hangover Part II" will make your Memorial Day more fun.
For the sake of her career, Cameron Diaz is hoping "Bad Teacher" turns things around from the string of rom-com and side player roles she's been enduring for the past little while. What better way to get attention that to wear Daisy Dukes with a flannel shirt tied around her belly. Join in the R-rated fun on June 24th.
Speaking of R-rated, here's the "Freaky Friday"-esque "The Change-Up" in which Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds switch bodies and boners with hilarious results. Things get dirty on August 5th.
Finally, classing up the joint considerably is Mike Mills' charming and winsome dramedy "Beginners" with Ewan McGregor and Melanie Laurent. We saw it at SXSW and loved it to pieces calling it, "an astute, enchanting and attentive examination of loving, losing and living that...makes you sigh and swoon in equal measure." Get out of the blockbuster glut and go see this when it opens on June 3rd.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a slightly faster 2 percent annual rate from July through September, buoyed by more spending by consumers and the federal government.
Even with the increase from a 1.3 percent growth rate in the April-June quarter, the economy remains too weak to rapidly boost job creation.
The report Friday from the Commerce Department is the last broad snapshot of the economy before Americans choose a president in 11 days.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney has attacked President Barack Obama's handling of the economy and has noted that growth has slowed from last year. The 1.74 percent annual growth rate for the first nine months of 2012 remains slightly behind last year's 1.8 percent growth. That, in turn, trailed 2010's growth of 2.4 percent.
Obama has argued that the economy is steadily improving. Analysts cautioned, though, that Friday's report offered few signs that economic growth is gaining momentum.
"We suspect that growth will slow a little in the fourth quarter and expect it to remain close to 2 percent next year," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
The economy grew faster last quarter, in part because consumer spending rose at a 2 percent annual rate, up from a 1.5 percent rate in the second quarter. Spending on homebuilding and renovations increased at an annual rate of more than 14 percent.
And federal spending surged, mainly because of the sharpest increase in defense spending in more than three years.
Growth was held back by the first drop in exports in more than three years and flat business investment in equipment and software. It was also slowed by the effects of the drought that struck the Midwest last summer. The drought cut agriculture stockpiles and reduced the economy's annual growth rate by nearly a half-point.
Once crop supplies return to normal, they will help boost economic growth, analysts noted.
The government's report covers gross domestic product. GDP measures the nation's total output of goods and services — from restaurant meals and haircuts to airplanes, appliances and highways.
It was the government's first of three estimates of growth for the July-September quarter. And it sketched a picture that's been familiar all year: The economy is growing at a tepid rate, slowed by high unemployment and corporate anxiety over an unresolved budget crisis and a slowing global economy.
It is unclear what effect, if any, Friday's report might have on the presidential race. Some analysts said they doubted it would sway many undecided voters in battleground states.
"It's moving in the right direction, but it's still an unimpressive number," says Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "It's so close to the election I don't know how many people are left to influence."
The factors supporting the economy's growth are shifting. Exports and business investment drove much of the growth after the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. But those sectors are weakening. Consumer spending, meanwhile, has picked up. And housing is adding to growth after a six-year slump.
The number of homes available for sale has fallen since the recession, helping push up prices. That trend has also supported an increase in home construction, though from very low levels.
Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity.
Businesses have grown more cautious since spring, in part because customer demand has remained modest and exports have declined as the global economy has slowed.
Many companies worry that their overseas sales could dampen further if recession spreads throughout Europe and growth slows further in China, India and other developing countries. Businesses also fear the tax increases and government spending cuts that will kick in next year if Congress doesn't reach a budget deal.

I noticed the following tag synonyms already in place for various Eclipse releases:
Seems like there is a pattern going on there, with the codename for each release being synonymous to its version number. But based on the state of the rest of the Eclipse release tags, I'm not sure whether the pattern has been fully established yet. So I would suggest the following:
Merge eclipse-europa (6 questions, no wiki) -> eclipse-3.3 (7 questions, and I just suggested a wiki excerpt).
Possibly merge eclipse-indigo -> eclipse-3.7. (Caveats: eclipse-3.7 is currently unused, but this would standardize the pattern already in place— see above. The wiki from eclipse-indigo would also need to be transferred, unless that happens automatically.)
Possibly merge eclipse-callisto -> eclipse-3.2. (Caveat: eclipse-callisto is currently unused and unlikely to be used anytime soon.)
Possibly merge eclipse-juno -> eclipse-4.2, if I understand the Simultaneous Release schedule correctly. (Caveats: eclipse-4.2 is currently unused. The wiki from eclipse-juno would also need to be transferred.)
Is this a good way to organize the Eclipse release tags?

Merry Christmas Eve guys!! I can't believe Christmas is already here. I am so looking forward to a week-long break of rest and family time and a slower pace of life. To give myself a true and total break, I've decided to take the week off from blogging (and possibly until after New Years) to allow for less time in front of the computer, and more time with the people I love most (but you can always still find me and my nails on instagram :). I hope it will give you a few more minutes with your loved ones as I'm one less blog you'll have to check ;)
I want to wish you a most wonderful Christmas, the happiest of holidays, and a super fancy New Year. I can't thank you enough for taking time out of your day to come and stop over at my little blog. Looking forward to 2013, and everything it's going to bring.

Do you know what your employees are doing on Facebook? Should you?
Serial entrepreneur Max Drucker and his business partner Geoff Andrews cofounded Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Social Intelligence, a company that tracks individuals across social media, in 2010. The company's business: investigating people's online activity. Is this information you ought to know?
Q: What does Social Intelligence do?
We conduct social-media background investigations on potential employees. We also do corporate due diligence and fraud investigations for insurance firms.
Q: Why do employers need this information?
Before an employer makes a hire, they conduct a criminal background check, they look at credit history (when legally allowed), they often conduct employment verification, education verification, a drug screening, etc. This is one more piece of data.
Q: Other than obvious sites like Facebook and Twitter, what online activity do you monitor?
It depends on the type of screen or investigation. For Fair Credit Reporting Act-compliant background screens, which adhere to the FCRA's consumer protections, we only look for user-generated content. That includes social media sites, personal blogs and websites, photo and video sharing sites, message boards and forums. For fraud investigations or due diligence reports, we also look at media articles, local recreation sites, ecommerce sites and other, more obscure places that can only be uncovered in the deep web.
Q: So if someone posts an anonymous comment on the Huffington Post...?
While we cannot always identify the person who posted the comment, we have proprietary tools to assist in identification. We often look to triangulate the alias of the poster through an intermediate site. For example, we might find a Twitter profile of a subject and from there identify their personal handle, then perform a new search.
Q: Give me an example of what you can find out.
Often a person will be out on workers' comp—they say they can't work because of an injury at the workplace, yet we'll identify images of them clearly conducting physical activity.
Q: Why would people post such incriminating information?
It may not come from them. Sometimes a friend or a spouse reveals this stuff. We've found rec league postings—we once found a guy's time in a local race. We've also found people looking for side work while they claim not to be able to work. One guy, a roofer, filed a workers' comp claim; we found him on Craigslist looking for handyman work.
Q: Where do you draw the line?
For our FCRA-compliant searches, we only identify three things: potentially violent or racist remarks, sexually explicit material and illegal activity such as drug use. Alcohol use is not material we identify, unless it is clearly underage or involved in the operation of a vehicle. Everything else is ignored.
Q: Is it safer to have you conduct these searches than for the employer to do so?
If an employer does this, he can expose the company to information that's not legally allowable for hiring—someone's religion or some form of disability or sexual orientation. If you make a hiring based on that, you've broken the law. You're also exposing yourself to allegations from the job applicant—if he's sharing his sexual orientation online, or religion, or she's obviously pregnant—that you didn't hire based on that information. One of our taglines is, protecting the job applicant equals protecting the employer.

State Rep. Carl Domino, R-Jupiter, says he's not worried that he raised only $3,147 from contributors in the first six weeks of his campaign for the state Senate District 25 seat while Republican primary rivals Nick Loeb ($225,105) and state Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff ($122,575) have piled up far more.
"We raise money in a different cycle," explained Domino, who has put $110,058 of his own money into the race. Domino, Bogdanoff and Loeb are vying for the Palm Beach-Broward seat of Senate President Jeff Atwater, who's running for chief financial officer in 2010.
Bogdanoff's and Loeb's totals include money they raised for state House campaigns before Atwater announced he was leaving his Senate seat and they switched to that contest. Loeb has put $7,200 of his own money into the race on top of the $225,105 he's received from others.
Domino says he'll be financially competitive by the time the GOP primary rolls around more than 13 months from now. He says he doesn't plan to crank up fund-raising until late September or October.
Wealthy investment manager Domino spent $210,000 of his own money on an unsuccessful 2000 state House bid and $270,000 of his own money on his winning 2002 state House campaign. Since entering the state House, Domino has relied primarily on other people's money rather than his own checkbook. In 2008, he put $2,094 of his own money into his House reelection bid and raised $319,039 from donors.

Halo 3 is one of those rare games that will stand as an important milestone for not only the industry itself, but also for Microsoft. Not only is it bringing an end to an incredible trilogy that launched alongside the original Xbox, but it is also the first game in the franchise to appear on the Xbox 360. And Microsoft intends to celebrate that in a big way.
We've already known for quite some time that the game would release with multiple variations, from your most basic package including just the game itself, to the oh-my-god-I-want-and-I-want-it-now Legendary Edition, which comes not only with the game, but multiple special features and a special collector's case modeled after Master Chief's helmet. But, today, Microsoft announced all the details of the three versions, including pricing details...chances are, if you opt for the Legendary Edition you'll be paying more than you thought. But you can find all the new information about Halo 3 in the full press release below and decide if it's worth it for yourself:
Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today confirmed the first exciting details of the three editions of this year's most anticipated video game release, "Halo® 3." Gamers will have their choice of Standard Edition, Limited Edition and the ultimate collector's item, the Legendary Edition.
The Legendary Edition ($129.99 U.S. ERP*) will be released in limited quantities and arrive in a highly collectible Spartan helmet case that no hardcore "Halo" fan should be without, along with two bonus disks full of supplemental content. The first disk will provide exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage and videos, including a high-definition "Making of 'Halo 3'" documentary showcasing the Bungie team and its effort to create the most anticipated title in the industry's history; numerous high-definition featurettes documenting the creative design processes involved in developing the game; and even a look at some early game concepts and their evolution through the game's development. The disk will also include an audio-visual calibration tool, never before seen on a video game and custom designed by the "Halo 3" graphics and audio team to make the most of fans' high-definition home theaters, for the ultimate "Halo 3" and Xbox 360™ audio and video performance.
The second bonus disk, an exclusive to the Legendary Edition, will include completely remastered cinematic material from "Halo: Combat Evolved" and "Halo 2," supplemented with developer commentaries, to provide a refresher course on the thrilling "Halo" story so far, and a featurette documenting a day in the life at Bungie. Exclusive content from the creative minds behind Machinima artists "Red vs. Blue" and "This Spartan Life" will also be included.
Finally, fans who purchase the Legendary Edition will receive an illuminating collection of original "Halo 3" storyboard art from artist Lee Wilson, depicting key moments and pivotal scenes from the epic cinematic production of "Halo."
The Limited Edition ($69.99 U.S. ERP*) will also include a bounty of extras. Within a sleek metal collector's case, gamers will also receive the first bonus disk found in the Legendary Edition, as well as a special "Halo" fiction and art book. A must-have for "Halo" collectors and a source of invaluable and exclusive information, the piece is an elaborate and compelling guide to the species and factions that inhabit the worlds of the "Halo" universe, with never-before-seen art and story elements that expand and illustrate the depth and breadth of the "Halo" fiction.
And for those who crave nothing more than the highly anticipated third chapter to one of the greatest gaming trilogies, the Standard Edition ($59.99 U.S. ERP*) will consist of the "Halo 3" game.
"Halo 3" represents the third chapter in the "Halo" trilogy, a Marvel Entertainment Inc. graphic novel series, apparel and more.

features and rugged looks.
The very first question most people ask is how tight you have to wear the watch. In my use, I have found that I havent had to wear it any tighter than I would wear any other watch. In general, it doesnt leave any marks on my arm post-use. With multiple functions
including a tide tracker, temperature sensor and electronic compass, this Timex watch is an essential accessory for the tech savvy professional with a love for adventure.
First up on our journey to enlightenment is getting the thing unboxed. In terms of looks, the Timex watch is pretty normal sized when it comes to watches. Its neither big, nor smallit just sort of sits in the middle size-wise. But it is definitely bit higher than most other units on the market, thus making it look a bit more bulky than it really is. I suspect that much of this bulk comes from the platform behind the varying sensors that are contained within the unit. I feel that this device is definitely amongst the biggest on the market since it includes a full watch face, versus just having no display, or minimal time display.
Once you have got the tide-temp-compass watch on your wrist, youll be ready to roll. It is scratch and water resistant (up to 50 metres) and weighs 400 grams. There are three distinct buttons around the dial of the watch to trigger its tide, temperature or compass function, all handled by a single hand inside the dial. It comes with a tide and temperature monitor and a compass built in. It has a rotating bezel which is click free and smooth. The clock face can be illuminated with Timexs glow button.
In real-time use, this Timex is a very fun watch to wear and use, and the functions are very enjoyable to operate. It comes across as sophisticated and stylish with amazing features for measuring tide, compass and temperatureother than looking up for the time. It is also comfortable to wear for long hours. All in all, a wonderful choice for those who love adventure.
Watches have indeed come a long way since they were first invented in the 16th century!
Estimated street price: Rs 13,995

On song Tralee crush St Marys
Published 14/11/2012 | 11:29
AFTER recording an impressive away win only seven days previous, Tralee stepped out at home last Sunday against St Mary's keen to keep their impressive start to this year's league campaign on track.
The visitors, who showed a clean pair of heels to the Cobh Pirates in an earlier round were never going to be an easy proposition, even for a confident Tralee outfit but despite their growing reputation at the top tier St Mary's proved to be no match on the day for a rampant Kerry side who took the spoils by 47-10. A brace of tries from Sean O'Mahony led the way for the Kingdom men with tries also reigning in from Christian McCarthy, Garrett Walsh, Hugh Moran, Owen Tough and Michael Deane.
Daniel Clarke showed his talents with the boot as he slotted over the extra points on a half dozen occasions. Matthew Hickey and Barry Gibbons brought some respectability to the Limerick men's account with a try apiece, but in truth their challenge never looked like it would be able to stop Tralee moving their way up to fifth in the table.
Next up for Tralee is a trip to west Cork as they are scheduled to play Crosshaven this Sunday. This is a very winnable proposition for Tralee as the Cork men are struggling of late and currently sit one off the bottom in 14th. While this should be an away victory for Kerry's premier junior side nothing is certain at this level so caution will be a priority.
With Division 2 on a break week, Castleisland took their place in the semi finals of Munster Junior Clubs Challenge Shield against Mallow. Matthew Ahern bagged a try for Castleisland, which Connie Buckley converted, but that was as good as it got for the visitors as they went down 167 to the Cork men.
Two penalties from Andy Cashman gave Mallow the advantage at the turn 6-0. Cashman struck again after the interval with his hat trick of penalties before Tom Gardner crossed the whitewash to grab the game's decisive score and book the north Cork side a place in the final against Youghal.
Next up for Castleisland is a return to league action as they make the trip to the seaside to face the previously mentioned Youghal.
The Kerry side is in great form in the league so far with three wins from three so they will be desperate to make that four on the trot and keep up their strong challenge near the top of the table.
Killarney head back to action this weekend with a tough trip to Mallow on the cards. Killarney have won two from three this campaign so they will be eager to come away from the rebel county with something from this one.
Abbeyfeale have jumped up to the top spot in Division 3 thanks to a last minute win away at Charleville. Robert Browne claimed the points for the west Limerick boys with a deserved try on the stroke of full-time – 18-15.
This was a great comeback win for Abbeyfeale after they trailed 15-3 at the turn. Johnny O'Neill and Des Power scored tries for the home side with Ryan Brennan adding a penalty and a conversion. The visitors responded with a Sean Scannell try with Thomas Enright adding two penalties and a conversion before Browne's late strike sealed it for Abbeyfeale.
Third place Killorglin were on a break last weekend but will be back in action this Sunday as they make the trip to Dunmaway, Bantry Bay. This could prove to be a tricky encounter for the Kerry side, but if they can manage to come away with the spoils they will cement themselves as one of the league contenders this season.
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19 (2.30pm) Tralee v Crosshaven Mallow v Killarney Youghal v Castleisland Dunmanway – Bantry Bay v Killorglin

YORKVILLE - Gov. John Kasich hinted Friday that Esmark Steel's plans to reopen an idled cold-rolling mill in Yorkville could be just the tip of the iceberg.
Esmark Chairman and CEO Jim Bouchard said the Kasich administration was instrumental in closing the $6.5 million deal for the Yorkville mill, working with his company and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to develop a remediation plan that addresses unresolved chemical spills that former owner RG Steel neglected to correct two years ago.
In addition to the Yorkville mill, which will be known as Ohio Cold Rolling Co., Bouchard also acquired a 50 percent ownership stake in the nearby Ohio Coatings Co. tin plating facility, partnering with South Korea's TCC Steel.

Gov. John Kasich, left, and Esmark Chairman and CEO Jim Bouchard discuss the latter's acquisition of a cold-rolling mill in Yorkville.
Both mills were acquired from bankrupt RG Steel, which also sold its property in Steubenville to River Rail Development LLC, a division of Wheeling-based Strauss Industries, and its Mingo Junction plant to New York-based salvage company Frontier Industrial.
Asked whether his staff had been involved in discussions about the future of either of those properties, Kasich said, "We know all about those properties."
"The Steubenville property, to my understanding, is going to see good things happen there with the (new owner) being able to come in and perhaps lease some of the more valuable parts of that," the governor said. "It's another thing our Ohio EPA had to be involved with, to make sure we can clear the hurdles. It's good news it's not like we hit a grand slam; we're getting singles, maybe a double here and there, but we've got to do a lot more."
Kasich, meanwhile, credited Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally with "coming to the rescue" after legacy environmental issues threatened to derail Bouchard's acquisition of the Yorkville plant.
"He's not a pushover. If you do something bad to the environment, he's going to call you on it," Kasich said. "But he also has common sense. He was able to take authority over this operation ... out of the hands of the federal EPA into the hands of Ohio EPA. As a result, we can have more common sense, more active development here, and they're still going to clean things up."
The governor told workers and dignitaries gathered outside the plant Friday that "there's no reason we can't be optimistic about the future." He said at a minimum, it means work for 165 idled steelworkers at Yorkville alone, "but I think the numbers will be bigger than that."
"This is a good day," he said. "People will be people coming back to work, more people I think, than they've already announced. ... It's a great start, and it's good news for us. There's no reason we can't be optimistic about the future."
He stressed that state and local leaders need to figure out how to maximize the Ohio River's development potential.
"It's going take folks with some really creative thinking, but it's important with what we're going to see from oil and gas and the companies that spin off from that," he said. "It's just going to take time."
Now that the Yorkville plant is in the Esmark stable, Bouchard said he's planning to invest another $15 million to $20 million to get it up and running.
"Everybody I talked to this morning basically said I was out of my mind," he admitted. "The state of the steel business globally and here in the U.S. is bad, and here we are committing $20 million-plus to start up the Yorkville cold mill. Do people think I'm nuts? Yes. But I think we've got a good plan. I think the workers are up to it. It's going to be a challenge, but we're up to the challenge."
"I think all the positives will outweigh (conditions) at this point in time in the steel market," he added. "But it would be a heck of a lot easier if the steel market was humming along."

Brand new NEQ6 rattling noise is very annoying
Posted 31 January 2010 - 09:26 PM
My mount produces the exact same rattling noise this guy got. http://deepspaceplace.com/eq6.php
I'm temped to open this puppy and give a nice taste of synthetic lithium grease. Has anyone of you performed this job? If yes was it beneficial and did it really got rid of the annoying rattling noise.

The EQ6 Yahoo! group has several threads and guides on the tuneup, and there are several folks hanging out here that also can provide links to the process. Since the steppers in the Synta mounts are single speed (maximum) on gotos, some do make the noise on rampup to full speed and slow down. For me it's not nearly as noisy as a certain other manufacturer's coffee grinders.

Compared to our EQ3, it's a world of difference. The eq3 has that same coffee grinder running sound as the cg5 type mounts.

The sound is quite normal. It's not caused by anything rattling around loose, or metal grinding, or anything scary like that. It's just stepper motor noise.
If you select the slower slew rates the sound isn't there, but it would be if there was anything wrong with the mount. When it is tracking it's the quietest mount around other than the Taks.
There are a LOT of these mounts out there and when you go to star parties you will hear all of the other EQ6 or Atlas mounts making the same sound.
So relax!

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

That certainly puts a twist on "If is ain't broke, don't fix it"
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Thanks Jim, I'm using an AC power adapter so the lack a power delivered to the mount is not an issue for me.
I have noticed that the beginning of slew and end of slew gravelly growl is a bit more pronounced with a weak power supply. You might want to try a beefier battery or AC to reduce the phenomenon somewhat.

Me, I have 50% hearing loss in each ear, so I don't hear hardly a thing from my Atlas. No problem hearing certain other manufacturers' equipment at star parties, though.

I just got my new SkyWatcher NEQ6 Pro mount and I'm very disappointed with the rattling noise it makes when starting and stopping slews. This occurs on both the RA and DEC axis. Although the mount seems to perform well, the noise is very annoying.
Grease will do no good. This noise is common to all EQ-6 Synscans, and adding grease will not dispel it. Nothing's wrong with your mount; you just have to learn to ignore it...or try to adjust the gear lash to minimize it--which ain't easy, and often causes more harm than good. The mount is pretty quiet, all in all.

My advice? Wear earplugs
j/k, but I think it is probably fine.

mainly was caused by the transfer gear beeing a bit
loose, wobbly or with runout.
Adjusting the play it had on the axis where it originally
ran on made the noise almost disapear.
Nowadays this gear runs on a bearing and the noise is
nearly gone!
If tracking is good, just ignore it!
FWIW here a pic of a 47 tooth transfer gear running
on a bearing, I had to change the mounting plate
as well.
