Easy Star All-Stars is a reggae collective with a rotating roster of musicians and singers founded by the co-founders (Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith, Lem Oppenheimer & Remy Gerstein) of New York City-based Easy Star Records in 1997.[1] The first original album by the band, released in 2003, was an interpretation of Pink Floyd's classic The Dark Side of the Moon entitled Dub Side of the Moon; the second was 2006's Radiodread, a song-by-song cover of Radiohead's OK Computer. In April 2009, they released a cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band entitled Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band. In 2012, Easy Star's Thrillah was released, a cover of Michael Jackson's classic album.[2]
Founding, covers[edit]
They originally formed as a studio band for the label's earliest recordings. Although they have backed many artists[who?] and produced several original releases, they are best known for covering popular albums in a reggae and dub style and have released four cover albums to date.[2]
First original albums[edit]
In February 2003, Easy Star All-Stars released a cover album of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon entitled Dub Side of the Moon, a complete reggae reinterpretation of the Pink Floyd album. Dub Side of the Moon has remained on the Billboard Reggae Charts since its release in 2003.[3] It features instructions on how to synchronize the record with The Wizard of Oz, referencing the audiovisual pairing sometimes referred to as Dark Side of the Rainbow.
Dub Side of the Moon was followed by the 2006 release of Radiodread, a reimagining of Radiohead's album OK Computer. At a 2006 Radiohead concert, Thom Yorke praised Toots & The Maytals version of "Let Down" on Radiodread.[4] Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has also praised the cover version, calling it "truly astounding."[5]
In March 2008, Easy Star All-Stars released Until that Day, an EP consisting of original material except for "Dubbing Up the Walls", a cover of the Radiohead song "Climbing Up the Walls."[2][6] On 5 April 2011, they released their first original album entitled First Light.[2][7] The only constant member of the band is Michael Goldwasser.[2]
On January 13, 2009 the Easy Star All-Stars posted a statement on their website that they had completed their next album, a reworking of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles titled Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band, which was released on April 14, 2009.[8] However it was exclusively released on imeem a day prior. Reviews have been favourable. Sydney street press Music Feeds rated the album 10/10.[9] Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band cracked the Billboard Top 200 twice, making it the first reggae album to do so in over two years.[3]
Victor Axelrod aka Ticklah compiled a dub version of a song by the Iowa reggae band Public Property on an upcoming album Work to Do set for release in July 2009.
Michael Goldwasser compiled a dub version of the song "Turn & Run" by Umphrey's McGee.
Recent years[edit]
In October 2010, the Easy Star All-Stars released Dubber Side of the Moon, featuring bass-heavy remixes of Dub Side of the Moon by Dubmatix, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant, Groove Corporation, Dubphonic, The Alchemist, Dreadzone, Kalbata, Adrian Sherwood & Jazzwad, Victor Rice, Border Crossing, Mad Professor, Michael G. & Easy Star All-Stars, and J. Viewz.[10]
On August 28, 2012 the Easy Star All-Stars released Thrillah, a reimagining of Michael Jackson's album Thriller.

Teen upgraded to good condition after Lebanon parade accident
A Lebanon teenager has been upgraded to good condition at Riley Hospital, after falling from a float in a parade accident.
Fourteen-year-old Cameron Wilson was run over by the float and suffered severe injuries at the annual 4th of July parade.
An Independence Day tradition in the streets of Lebanon turned tragic Thursday afternoon. Families with the Lebanon Youth Football League were on a farm wagon being pulled by a pick-up truck. But as they ended their portion of the parade route and headed toward Lebanon Middle School, police say Wilson fell off the float and was run over by the wagon.
His grandpa, Keith Wilson, learned by phone that Cam was badly hurt.
"You're always scared. You don't know what's happened," Wilson said. "It was just a freak, freak incident. Evidently hit a bump in the road and the wagon just vaulted and he was on the front and vaulted forward."
"Apparently at least one wheel of the hay wagon went over the chest and abdomen of the boy," said Lebanon Police Lt. Brent Wheat.
Wilson says Cameron broke both collarbones. He also had a torn spleen, punctured lung and fractured hip.
When Cameron was run over, police say the impact caused two others to fall from the float.
The impact of the strike caused two other people to fall off the float. Amy Coffman, 39, Lebanon and Caiden Coffman, 11, were transported to Witham Hospital by medics. Both were treated and released.
Cameron's injuries had him transferred to Riley Hospital for Children.
"These things, it does happen. I heard yesterday also out west one person had fell and didn't survive, so we're pretty lucky he didn't have any head injuries that were severe and they said full recovery should happen," Wilson said.
Wilson also shared that his grandson is now talking and doing much better one day later. He said Cameron even apologized to his dad for falling off the float.
Meanwhile, police are reconstructing the accident, looking at video and interviewing witnesses.
They're also looking into the person who was driving the float's truck, a 15-year-old boy with only a learner's permit.
"We want to know what the kids on the float were doing, what the driver was doing and how all those factors interacted to result in a tragedy," Lt Wheat said. "We're researching whether that's a permitted use or a permitted operation by a learner's permit. He did have his father in the seat with him."
Cameron's grandfather says they're not pointing any fingers of fault.
Suggested Links
"We'll not blame on anybody. He's a good kid. I think sometimes things happen, they just happen," Wilson said.
Cameron's family says they're concentrating on his recovery, which is likely to take about six weeks.
"He's got a lot of love. They got a lot of people pulling for him, so he'll be just fine," Wilson said.

Excel very slow to open files
Recently installed Microsoft office 2010 pro and certain excel files are very slow to open. Every other program opens just fine, however when I open certain documents they can take up to 2-3 minutes to open. If I try to open multiple excel documents at the same time my computer freezes. I disabled all of the add-ons, however it did not do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
System information: Intel i5- 6GB Ram, Windows ultimate edition
All replies
If you are using IE 8.0, and you are opening files available on a network drive, there could be a reaon for this issue.
Try this option:
Go to tools> internet option> security> local intranet> sites and uncheck the box that says 'automatically detect intranet network'.
Please try this and check if it helps.
Hope this helps. Cheers, P.K.Hari
- Edited by Rex ZhangModerator Wednesday, February 22, 2012 2:00 AM
I am experiencing very slow Excel and Word opening, but not related to the data file or file storage location. The PROGRAM is very slow opening. Once the program is open, double clicking on a file opens the file instantly regardless of where it is stored.
I have a user with a similar issue where Excel 2010 itself opens fast but certain files open slowly. We already went thru the usual steps of safe mode, checking for add-ins to disable (none installed), uncheck the autodetect intranet setting. etc.
We basically narrowed it down to when the user applies "Format as Table" to a spreadsheet and saves it locally. Then on next open the file takes a full minute or longer depending on the size. Once the file is open there doesn't seem to be any performance issues in navigating Excel features, etc.
PC specs: Core i5, 4 GB, Win7 Pro 32-bit, Office 2010 Pro
Long shot, but could this be the issue with the Office File Validation? It happened to us here and we reloved Office File Validation and all was well!
Actually we checked for that hotfix and PC already had what's supposedly the latest version based on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553065. If I understood that article correctly, the updated version should eliminate the need to remove the file validation feature.
So the user found that the issue was they had applied Format as Table to the entire spreadsheet, rather than just a select # of cells. I guess considering how many rows/columns are the max, formatting the whole spreasheet would add some time to read/render the file.
- Edited by techdudejuly2009 Wednesday, April 18, 2012 4:41 PM pebkac
Before my few days i solve from my network.
please completely read before do something.
actualy user apply some formating, instructions, color, font, fontstyle and color for whole row or column by pressing Alt+Space or Ctrl+Space. In this case or similer case your excel sheet look like you want but actualy they consume all over sheets 1000+ rows 1000+column.
for remove: focus your working area. then after last row of your working area press Ctrl+Space to select these row and press "Shift+Ctrl+Down" Keys now you have select all rows from your end of working area to Down and delet it and save it. and do it for column also, of all sheets then save it.
once you finish this please re open and check its magicaly responce.
Note: please backup your file for your safety
is your file need this operation not : please see below image
Try this :
Go to a folder in Windows Explorer, then Tools -> Folder Options, then the File Types tab. For each of XLS, XLSM, XLSB, XLSX, etcetera, select it, then click Advanced, (if Advanced doesnt show, click Restore first, then Advanced) select Open in the Actions list, then click Edit
Adjust the settings to:
Application used to perform action: - "C:...\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"
Use DDE - Checked
DDE Message *LEAVE BLANK*
Application - Excel
Topic - System
This is meant to open a new instance of Excel each time you double click on an Excel file. I had /DDE at the end of the command string and other garbage in the DDE area below.
But the above worked for me.
I have had the same issue in the past and I've found that if I have a large file listed in the recent files shown in Excel, then Excel opens very slowly.
What I did to correct this was:
open Excel, then go to File --> Recent.
Wait for the files to load.
Find the very large file, right click, and delete.
In my case: Windows 8.1 and Office365 (Office15): Stopping "Adobe Creative Cloud" fixed the problem. After stopping this tray icon application, Excel starts immediately after double clicking on a .xlsx file. Other ppl reported similar experience with pgptray and other tray icons
check does all excel files are slow and if no ,then check how many KB or MB is the file that slow open and compare it with other files and if found it relatively very large (most excel files i use for personal calculations are within KBites and max few Mbites) ,then check its contents ,for example (that was my problem with slow open excel file) if you select all (Ctrl A) then from excel tool bar - fonts - bottom boarder - click all boarder this action result a very slow open excel file , wish you a luck finding a solution
- Edited by ahmad salman Monday, February 22, 2016 7:04 AM
you may try my way to solve it.
1. right click any excel file
2. open with...
3. select internet explorer
4. open it
5. then go back to open it with excel
6. done.
it works for me...hope it works for you as well...

Here is a fix that works every time for me. Simply run REPAIR on Office. Here's how:
This is not a permanent repair. It works for a couple months, then the problem recurs. Probably because MS patches something. Someday the geniuses at MS will figure out what is happening and really fix it, but in the meantime this will have to do.

Can we all agree that Slash, the infamously top-hatted guitar god, is the coolest dude on the planet? His awesome ostrich-nest hair helps; not wearing a shirt for 44 years is impressive, too. But what has really made Saul Hudson stand out is his incredibly uncool co-workers: Guns N' Roses' surly leprechaun, Axl Rose, and Velvet Revolver's zombie scarecrow, Scott Weiland.
As those singers unleashed diva destruction, the shy ax slinger with the serpentine style remained a mystery, hanging back, uncorking snake-bitten solo after solo. Welcome to the Jungle is 23 years old, and Slash's stuttery licks still give me chills.
But on a self-titled new solo album being released Tuesday, Slash is finally emerging from the sideman shadows and revealing himself. He co-writes and jams with a who's who of stars, including Fergie and Kid Rock, but he's calling the shots. So what kind of frontman is he? The answer is not as cool as you'd hope — unless you're a 16-year-old 7-Eleven clerk stuck in 1986.
Slash is such a majestic talent, I expected a head-snapping array of genre-mashing. Have you ever heard him do the Godfather theme? Mind-blowing. Instead, most of Slash is vaguely Dokkenesque — overly slick production, ripe lyrics, rote power chords. Hey, at this very moment I could sing along to at least 10 Ratt songs — not including Round and Round. But even the suburban dirtball in me is bored.
Opening cut Ghost, featuring Ian Astbury from the Cult, is a midtempo clunker: "Kill the ghost that hides in your soul / Rock 'n' roll." Ozzy Osbourne shows up on Crucify the Dead, a direct shot at Axl Rose: "We were like brothers with the world in our hands / You always had too much to say / Someday you'll look back and you'll wonder why / You let it all slip away." That's a decent punch, but the song ultimately plays like a lame Bark at the Moon B side.
The missed opportunities are myriad. Old pal Duff McKagan and Foo Fighter Dave Grohl jam on Watch This Dave, which never reaches the expected transcendent highs. Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale, the one guy with bigger hair than Slash's, shows up on By the Sword, but the pseudo-mythic vamp only skirts greatness. Slash's playing on Doctor Alibi is ferocious, a Jackson Pollock painting come to life, but Motorhead's Lemmy sounds as if he's singing it from a busted wheelchair.
There are a few highlights. Fergie and Slash are sexy as all get-out, so it makes sense that the gentlemen's-club grind of Beautiful Dangerous works, especially her high-wailing Axl impression. I Hold On is more Kid Rock than Slash, but it has the gospel-tinged makings of a hit. And who would have thought that the strange-bedfellows inclusion of Maroon 5's Adam Levine would pay off? The black-and-bluesy Gotten features Slash's best solo, slowly exploding like a broken heart.
This is a chummy album: newbies paying respects, Slash nodding to his heroes. But something's off. Maybe the problem is that, for all the madness of Rose and Weiland, Slash thrived on insanity, darkness, danger. Or maybe, for a man who hides his face from the world, he's better off lurking in the shadows and simply letting the mystery be.

For those wondering about the state of atomic mode-setting / page-flipping, it's still being tackled by an Intel developer.
Ville Syrjala of Intel OTC re-published his patches today when it comes to the atomic page-flipping support. "I'm posting this as rather raw just to get a bit more substance to the discussions."
The introduced "drm_flip" mechanism for this work allows for robust page-flipping support and to synchronize flips on multiple hardware scan-out engines. With these patches, the drm_flip for atomic page-flipping is just implemented for the Intel DRM driver but not any of the other DRM kernel drivers.
Meanwhile, Rob Clark of Texas Instruments recently began working on a nuclear page-flipping design.

Photographer's Note
Pictured here is the Shandon Tower of St Annes church in the centre of Cork city. It is a well known landmark in the city, and tours can be arranged to ring the famous Shandon bells, should you so wish.
The church itself is a Church of Ireland building, situated in the area known as Shandon it occupies a commanding site at the top of a hill, and is therefore visible for many miles around the area. The building we see here dates to 1722 when it was built to replace a previous church completed in 1693, but which had outlived its use to to huge population growth in the area. even that one replaced an even earlier church here with the site being a position of a medievel church as far back as 1199, which was mentioned in the decrees of Pope Innocent III as named as St Mary on the Mountain.
One of the churches most noted features is the 8 bells which are mentioned in a song titled The Bells of Shandon. The largest of these bells weighs just over one and a half tonnes. They first rang out across Cork city in 1752, hence the reason they are popular as a tourist attraction.
The church itself is not unusual but the design of the tower is quite unique in Ireland. Standing 120 feet, and a further 50 feet again counting the pepper pot decoration at the top and with walls 7 feet thick, its design was heavily influenced by a local family known as the McOsterich family. Today their influence is still marked here in Cork, as whenever any member of the family marries, anywhere on earth, the bells of the church ring in their honour. At the very top of the tower is a weather vane depicting a salmon which represents both the River Lee which runs through the city, and in older times represented the name of the Lord.
Locally the church has the nickname of the four faced liar (hence the image title). The reason for this is that each face of the tower has a clock, and depending on the angle you view it from the time appears to be slightly different on each face. All of the numbers of the clocks are made of gilded wood, and they are not all the same size, so some hands stick a little when they cross over those numbers. Strangely, on the hour all hands come together perfectly on every face.
The last picture I posted from Cork showed a narrow lane leading to the Catholic cathedral of St Mary and St Anne. The little narrow lane I was on actually leads to the church pictured here.
Thanks for looking!

Ciao Noel
auto e cavi a parte, è una bella composizione, la torre svetta verso il cielo blu, con il suo dorato orologio, mentre in basso, colpisce il locale rifinito di rosso.
Ottima la nota, sempre con molte notizie.

Hello Noel ,
A splendid perspective of this pretty street leading to the impressive square tower ; by a beautiful sunny sring day .

Hi Noel,
very good representation of the Tower of Cork, very good information!
Wish you a nice weekend
jcpix (14008) 2014-05-16 20:12
Hi Noel,
The title alone scores big points, and although it may have already been coined as such, it still fits the personality and character of both tower and photographer. :)) Easy to understand why this would be visible from afar, she sure stands tall and proud...and dare I say, like a lot of women, can't make up her mind with the "true time" being displayed. lol I think I may have just alienated myself with that one!? :o
Beauty composition...a smooth, curved lead-in with that foreground red color is very well put together for both balance and color contrasts. Love the gentleman in the doorway, adding the small touch of human presence to the scene. Looks to have been quite a nice day out too, glad you took full advantage of the clear skies...which sure seem to show up in a lot of your pictures. Hmmmmm??? lol Enjoy the weekend. Take it easy.
Cheers from the sun drenched desert,
mcmtanyel (33466) 2014-05-16 20:41
Hi Noel,
When I saw your title associated with clock tower, I guessed it had to do with each face showing different time. Reading your note confirmed my guess. The composition is lovely, with the buildings on the street directing our gaze at the tower. Well saturated, brilliant colors and excellent DOF, just a delightful photo.
danos (104508) 2014-05-16 21:43
Hi Noel,
really impressive the view as the presentation of the bell tower of St. Annes church that must really the landmark of the town.The brilliant light and colou management enhance the beauty as the details of the scene.The informative note completes perfect the whole scene.
Have a great WE,Danos

Hi Noel
beautiful image with a striking :) subject with excellent foreground leads. The magnificent clock tower stands out against the deep blue sky. The red doors and windows with the man half visible is a great plus for the composition.

Hello Noel,
this is very interesting note which accompanies your picture. I have read it with real interest and what a shame photo can show only one side of the tower at the time :-)
I like the POV you chose and the angle you placed the street in the composition. It leads an eye naturally towards the main subject in the image. The person caught in the door frame adds a bit of life.
The colors have been well saturated and the sharpness well balanced.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Hello Noel,
Your point of view shows this tall clock tower to very good effect and sets it in context. You had the benefit of a good light and the lovely sky makes a superb backdrop to the whole. Love the detail to be observed in the stonework. Is it naturally grey/black or is the colour the result of weathering and possibly pollution?
timecapturer (49288) 2014-05-17 2:50
Hi Noel
well if the title of this one does not grab you, then the image does, it is stunning. Perfect clarity and detailing, but it is the enticing composition and glorious presence of this amazing clock tower that are the winners here. Looks amazing and presented beautifully. A real WOW! shot.
Enjoy the weekend - B.

Hi Noel,
A very interesting architectural study this! The clock tower looks so great and impressive due to the smartly managed composition taken with superb sense of depth. Like it! Well done.
Have a nice weekend!

Ciao dear Noel
What an intriguing title and I couldn't wait to get to the explanation, I had to skip down and then re-read your note in full. No flies on these Corkarians, what a great reason to name it like that. And I'm glad you told us, as I'd have trouble understanding a Cork man or woman telling me...wow that accent is something else! Anyway, good to see blue skies. The colours have been illuminated and contrasted beautifully. Excellent vertical frame and perspective. Thanks for sharing, have a happy Saturday!

Hello Brian
Interesting story to go with this impressive church tower. Nice how the street leads the eye towards the main subject. Also the man in the pub's door is a great add on in this composition.
have a great weekend

Hi Noel,
Excellent vertical arrangement with superb view up to nice church clock tower. Very nice perspective showing also the adjacent houses in FG. Superb contrast against clear blue sky; and the shop owner (?) adds nice life to the scene.
Very well done my friend.

Hi Noel,
well framed, intersting architecture, good vertical presentation, nice effect with the contrast oc colors between the blue and the red shop, tfs.
ourania (51103) 2014-05-19 7:53
Hello Noel,
a very interesting urban setting, such a rewarding picture thanks to the attractive subjects and perspectives, delightful sunshine, delicious colours and abundant details. I like very much how you combined the row of characteristic houses with the extraordinary landmark, they both say a lot about this place and its identity. Your note further enriches the visual experience and gives us the pleasant feeling that we have a quite good knowledge of this place now. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
abmdsudi (61982) 2014-05-19 8:02
Hi Noel
A great image of a characterful tower with its mass of detail! This is a very imposing taken from equally impressive shooting point, depth and perspective which makes the jutting structure look massive and inclusion of the stunning red does make a nice little frame in the corner and lends good visual interest. The colors are sumptuous throughout, pleasantly exposed to the best and lovely shadow play. Wonderful shot guided by your excellent foreword. Great catch, TFS
Best regards
rogerl (1632) 2014-05-20 6:07
Noel, that was a very interesting and informative note. Thanks. The photo is lovely; nicely framed with the shopfronts on the left (particularly the deep red entranceway). The wires, as always, are unfortunate, but that can't be helped. I particularly like the vertical perspective, emphasizing the height of the tower and its relation to the rest of the town. Thanks.
mkamionka (41745) 2014-05-22 8:17
Hi Noel,
this lovely church I do have in my TE collection (click here to see it). For the first time I see such close and yet showing it all presentation. Really well done with great detail and also context of the lovely little houses. You had a fantastic weather as well which produced pleasant well saturated colors.
Very well done!
Royaldevon (47340) 2014-05-24 8:53
Hello Noel,
I was intrigued by the title and had to know more! It is an interesting story.
There is a lot to enjoy in this shot from the good lead lines to the well positioned focal tower, the details of which are pin sharp.
I'm sure we would all like to know more about the guy in the doorway ... maybe he will be the subject of a later shot!
Do you have PS or PSE?
It is possible to correct the distortion of buildings using 'image', 'transform' 'distort'.
If you are not sure email me.
Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Noel,
I heard about this four faced liar but never heard about your "scientific" explanation, so very interesting note. Well, if I understand well it means this tower is not really a liar ! Good POV with a unusual blue irish sky.
SnapRJW (31629) 2014-05-26 22:40
Hi Noel - What a lot of TE posts I have to catch up with after my hols. This one of yours stands out, it is such a great reminder of Ireland with the red painted pub with its typical doors and windows taking me right back to our visit. The church tower dominates the street and I like the way you have managed to emphasise the height of the tower. The blue sky makes an un-Irish addition!!!
Hope all is well

The street is sending my eyes toward tower which is giving depth to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the Shannon tower. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

I had a facelift about 7 weeks ago. About 2-3 days ago, I started some slight bleeding behind one ear. It's not a lot, and once I blot it with tissue it stops. Doctor said it could be some "Separation" but not really clear what that means, or what the impact is, or if I should be concerned. Doesn't really hurt, and again, it's a very slight amount but still has me concerned this far after surgery. I have been unusually slow to recover from this process, and this is one more thing going on.
Minor Bleeding 7 Weeks After Facelift?
Doctor Answers 11
Wound separation after surgery
Your bleeding may be due to several minor things, but in all likelihood it is not a big deal. Wound separation means the the edges of the wound have separated a bit and will need a bit more time to heal. Even in this case, they will heal. This can be caused by tension on the wound, a minor infection, or a suture irritation. All of these things will resolve on their own.
Followup with your surgeon but don't worry too much about this.
Bleeding 7 weeks after facelift
Sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with bleeding following your facelift. By separation, your surgeon may be referring to the incision. It may have parted slightly if there was tension in the area. In general, the side effects of a facelift can include the following:
1) Swelling
2) Bruising
3) Temporary numbness
4) Nerve injury that is usually temporary but can sometimes be permanent
5) Bleeding
I would recommend speaking with your surgeon further regarding the issue. It is important the area is examined thoroughly to rule out the possibility of a hematoma. Everyone recovers at a different pace with different issues. This depends on the nature of the patient's surgery and the way they heal. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with resolving the problem.

Slight bleeding seven weeks after facelift should be examined by the plastic surgeon.
I doubt there is cause for alarm the bleeding seven weeks after he facelift is uncommon. Therefore, I would check in with your plastic surgeon.

Bleeding 7 weeks after facelift
The bleeding you describe does not sound like anything serious. The separation your surgeon told you about is most likely a thin separation of the neck skin from the skin behind your ear. This is usually minor and will heal on its own. Continue to follow your surgeon's instructions.

Bleeding behind ear after facelift
If youa ren ow several weeks out from surgery, bleeding is a bit unusual but can happen along suture line. Best to be seen in person to make sure it is only minor.
Bleeding 7 weeks after Facelift
A small amount of bleeding in the postauricular area at the suture line will likely heal uneventfully. Be patient. Every person heals at his or her own speed.
Slow Improvement after Facelift
Small incision opening is what is meant by "separation". This can occur and typically heals with some local wound/incision care. The recovery from facelift and other types of cosmetic surgery can more than what is anticipated. These procedures are major surgical process and uses all the bodies' resources to help the areas heal and recover.
Dr. ES
Facelift incision bleeding problems
In a facelift there is often some degree of tension along the suture line on the posterior surface of the ear. It is not unusual to have some bleeding in this area. This could be from a suture becoming infected to a small wound separation. Generally all that is needed is standard home care. You should contact your plastic surgeon for specific advice.
Facelift Incision
I agree with Dr. Palmer that bleeding at 7 weeks is most likely an incisional issue. The incision in the post auricular crease is sometimes prone to split or dehisce and should be evaluated by your Surgeon
Minor Bleeding 7 Weeks After Facelift?
At 7 weeks post Face Lift, the bleeding behind the ear is most likely related to the skin incision line. You should contact your Face Lift Surgeon to have it examined just to be sure all is healing as planned.

Will LASIK Reshaping of the Cornea Lessen the Risk for Cataracts?
Doctor Answers 4
LASIK causing Cataracts? No
Having LASIK surgery does not increase one's risk of developing cataracts in the future. It does not decrease the risk either.
LASIK prior to cataract surgery does effect the calculations required to determine the power of the implant (IOL) used to replace the eye's natural lens (which is removed during cataract surgery.)
This means that there is a greater chance of needing glasses following cataract surgery. This can usually be corrected by doing a LASIK enhancement folowing cataract surgery if the Rx is small, or by implanting another IOL if the Rx is large.
LASIK and Cataracts
LASIK surgery is performed on the cornea, which is on the outside of the eye, and cataract surgery involves the lens of the eye, which is located inside of the eye behind the colored (iris) of the eye. A cataract is when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. LASIK should give good vision for distance until cataracts develop. This generally occurs in your 60's, 70's or 80's. Everyone who lives long enough will eventually develop cataracts and LASIK will have no effect on their development. It is very helpful to your cataract surgeon for you to know the original measurements of your eye before your LASIK procedure. This is something that you should obtain from your LASIK center.
Will LASIK Reduce My Chance of Developing Cataracts
A cataract is an opacity in the natural lens inside your eye while LASIK is a vision correcting procedure which reduces one's need for glasses and/or contact lenses by reshaping the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Treating one's refractive error should have little effect on your chances of developing cataracts, although by the time we are in our 80's, 1/2 of the population either has cataracts or has had cataract surgery. Continue to seek care of an eye care provider to examine the health of your eyes after LASIK so you can be monitored for ocular disesases.
You might also like...
LASIK and Cataracts
Laser Vision Correction(Lasik and PRK) is performed on the outer surface of the eye, which is the cornea. There is no relation between Lasik and cataract development. Cataracts occur in the lens of the eye, which resides behind the cornea. While Lasik has not been related in any way with cataracts, the human lens tends to become a cataract as we get older. The average age for the beginning signs of cataract formation is 60-65. There are some families, however, who develop cataracts at younger ages, but Lasik would not accelerate cataract formation one bit. Developing a good relationship with your Ophthalmologist is a good idea, especially if cataracts run in your family. I don't feel, however, that you should avoid Lasik because of your family history.

Simple Entertainment, Aug 06, 2012
from St. Louis, MO
BIO is simple entertainment and escapism, no social commentary or deep meaning. You wont walk out thinking of the thematic message other than "how did they do that?"; 2 hours of fun and smiles.
The cheerleading choregraphy and stunts are amazing. Ok, I admit, I had to cover my eyes a couple times, but I did peek.
Overlooked in reviews is the simple, yet effective set design. To me, it becomes an character in the play, without intrusion.
Put the world on hold, just sit back and enjoy.

Lots of action and fun. My daughters loved it... might have been a few too many swear words and other inappropriate topics for my 7 year old daughter, but not over the top. My 9 year old really enjoyed it. Fun for adults too!

My 1994 Kawasaki zx9 (B2) with 48,000 miles over heats, the coolant fills up the reserve tank then overspills and the bike overheats.
I have replaced the thermostat, radiator cap, checked the water pump, run a hose through the whole system, taken the radiator off and flushed it out, carefully bleed the system, when hot and stationary the fan comes on ok, but out on the open road with a bit of speed the coolant will empty into the reserve tank!! Any ideas out there!

Agency Adam & Eve was hired to create a new comedy platform for the brand to target 18-34 year old 'Tribal Drinkers'. These guys live for Friday or Saturday nights down the pub or at mates' houses. They face social dilemmas such as whether to move out of home, get married or how to deal with friends who wind them up.
The ad campaign revisted the 'No Worries' theme, but crucially linked the laid-back Australian lifestyle to the down-to-earth reality of life in the UK. This was achieved via a long-distance phone call between a UK Tribal Drinker and the laid-back, self-assured 'agony uncles' Brad and Dan. The 'Good Call' campaign refreshed the 'No Worries' positioning and boosted the brand's comedy status.
This was built with the launch of Foster's Funny, featuring comedy content online from the likes of Alan Partridge and Reeves and Mortimer. The website was backed by Foster's sponsorship of comedy on Channel 4.
Judges called it 'a textbook example of how you overhaul a brand. It looked at everything it needed to do to revitalise the brand and did it impeccably,' they said.
British Airways (Agency: Bartle Bogle Hegarty)
British Airways' 'To Fly. To Serve' ad campaign has re-ignited pride, passion and belief in the country's national carrier. The brand has been battered from many different quarters for a number of years and gradually lost its identity and meaning. The ad campaign by Bartle Bogle Hegarty aimed to recommit to the core service ethos of the brand but without papering over the cracks. Engagement has revitalised belief in British Airways' core promise and judges praised it as 'strategically very robust'.
Twinings Tea (Agency: Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO
The upmarket tea brand Twinings has successfully broken out of its niche positioning and managed to persuade its largely female target audience that its range of products is not just designed for special occasions.
The 'Get Back to You' campaign created by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, communicated the feeling of restoration - the brand's main promise - using beautiful animated stories to show how the experience of Twinings helps women 'journey back to themselves' so they understand its restorative powers in their everyday lives. The revitalisation strategy led to Twinings' highest-ever market share of 14.1%. Judges said that the radical executions were 'disruptive in a gentle way'.

About Refractive Errors
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye condition that happens when the cornea is too steep or the eye too long. This means the light that enters the eye can't focus correctly causing distant objects to appear blurry.
If you are nearsighted, you may be a candidate for a laser vision correction procedure such as LASIK or PRK. If you have very high levels of myopia, you may also be a candidate for the implantable contact lens, or Visian ICL.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia or farsightedness is a condition where near and intermediate objects are blurry. In farsightedness, the eye is too short, which causes the light to focus past the retina. Procedures such as LASIK and PRK can be great options to correct hyperopia.
Presbyopia (Need for Reading Glasses)
Presbyopia occurs when you lose the ability to see clearly when performing activities such as reading a newspaper, book, or menu. You will notice that presbyopia develops progressively so over time, your reading or near vision will continue to worsen and become blurry. Many people nickname presbyopia as the "long-arm" disease because they develop the need to hold reading materials further away. Eventually, this condition may also affect your intermediate vision (working at computers) as well. This eye condition usually happens in your mid-40s. This is a normal age-related process that everyone eventually experiences. You will need reading glasses or readers to help with this condition. Ask your doctor about possible treatments that address presbyopia!
If you want to stop worrying about fumbling with your reading glasses, then The Eye Institute of Utah has a few options that may be just perfect for you! We offer presbyopia-correcting (or multifocal) intraocular lenses such as ReSTOR and Tecnis to bring back the whole range of near vision. These presbyopia-correcting lenses can be implanted during refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery, or during a Custom Cataract Procedure.
It's so nice not having to wear glasses or contacts, I hated them. I had a prescription of a -5.00, my glasses were pretty thick and I wore them for 30 years. I can see better now than I ever have before. I'm glad I chose The Eye Institute of Utah for my vision correction! Thanks again.*
Russel, UT
Astigmatism is a common eye condition due to an irregularly shaped cornea. The cornea should be a spherical shape, but with astigmatism, it is shaped like a football resulting in blurred vision or double images at all distances. Previously, people with high amounts of astigmatism or cylinder were not candidates for laser vision correction. However, with today's technology, LASIK and PRK can be excellent procedures for people with astigmatism. The precise laser is able to reshape the cornea and restore crisp, clear vision.
If you have one of the refractive errors discussed above. and would like to learn about possible surgical vision correction options, call us at 800-760-4171 and find out what options are available for you.Learn About OurLASIK Specials

Crews working to restore power in Hood River
HOOD RIVER, Ore. - More than 1,700 people are in the dark in Hood River Sunday after an ice storm took down trees and power lines across the region this week.
As of Sunday morning, approximately 1,723 homes were without power in the Hood River and Mosier areas.
Pacific Power crews spent Saturday trying to restore power to more than 4,000 customers.
Dozens of trees crashed onto area roads, some taking power lines down with them.
"It was like fireworks going off all day long because it just sounded like all this popping going off constantly," said Viola Hamman.
Early Saturday morning, a huge tree came crashing down on a couple's home just south of Hood River. The couple was asleep at the time, but no one was hurt.
"It just exploded all over the house," said neighbor Jim Abshire. "They were real lucky."

Huber Heights (Ohio) Wayne wide receiver Greg Orton caught 59 passes for over 700 yards during his junior season. Orton averaged over 13 yards per reception and scored 11 times.
The 6-foot-4 and 190 pound Orton is one of the Buckeye state's top offensive prospects so it's not surprising he already has many scholarship offers with plenty of recruiters visiting his school.
"I don't know all of them that have been to my school," Orton said. "But some are Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Pitt, Purdue, and Iowa. Those are the ones I've seen so far."
So what schools is Orton interested in?
"Right now I don't have a list," Orton said. "But the ones that offered. Cincinnati, Bowling Green, Miami of Ohio, Michigan State, Purdue, Iowa, Pitt, Boston College, Louisville, and Kentucky have offered."
"And I'm looking at Tennnessee, LSU, Michigan, and Ohio State, but those schools haven't offered."
"I don't have a favorite."
"I went to Virginia, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Purdue for junior days and spring practices."

Seach results show only blank page
Posted this in "themes" section earlier by mistake, so again:
I noticed the other day that the 'search' function on my blog (WP 2.8.6, Carrington Blog 2.2 theme, http://Ialreadyhaveawatch.com) is not working.
I had recently migrated from another domain/directory/host provider, but 1) I think I finally worked out all the associated issues with that, and 2) I'm absolutely dead positive it was working on the new server prior to the upgrade to 2.8.6.
It works fine and displays search results properly if the chosen search term returns no results, but if there are (or would be) any search hits it returns only a blank page (or only the header graphic if using Gears).
Switching to the WP Default theme gets it running again just fine, and even re-installing WP and Carrington seems to have no effect.
Any ideas where to start looking for a problem? I'm fresh out of ideas after wearing out the search engines it seems. I'm about to just go back to a Google CSE custom search page except I remember that being an even bigger pain in the neck to implement when I was running it for a while.

Chip maker MaxLinear beat Wall Street's expectations for sales and profits Wednesday in its first earnings report as public company.
The Carlsbad company held its initial public stock offering on March 24, raising $73 million. It said Wednesday that it made $2 million for the quarter, or 7 cents a share, excluding certain items. Sales doubled to $16.1 million compared with the same quarter last year.
Analysts had forecast earnings of 5 cents a share on sales of $15 million.
MaxLinear makes radio frequency chips that process digital video signals. Most of its business is outside the U.S. Its receiver chips are used in mobile TV handsets in Japan, as well as digital video recorders and set-top boxes in Europe and Asia.
"A substantial part of the growth is coming from the consumer market, with cable starting to assert itself," Chief Executive Kishore Seendripu said in a conference call with analysts.
The company said it expects revenue of $17 million to $17.5 million for the June quarter. Analysts had forecast sales of $16.95 million.
The company released results after markets closed. Its shares were unchanged at $17.17 in after-hours trading.

During the seventh-month stretch that is the Major League Soccer season, there isn't a single player or coach who will ever apologize for a positive result, no matter how lucky it might have been. After all, months later, the only thing that matters is the points in the standings.
That's why Real Salt Lake's players walked out of Rice-Eccles Stadium with a newfound hop in their step following Saturday's 2-1 victory over the L.A. Galaxy.
Sure Real was a little fortunate to remain unbeaten (2-0-1) at home. After all, the Galaxy could've easily been ahead three or four goals at halftime with better finishing, but instead only clung to a 1-0 lead.
Even though RSL was a little lucky in the first half, give the team credit, it ultimately capitalized on the many get-out-of-jail-free cards the Galaxy kept dishing out.
The players and coaches know, however, that luck has no allegiances. Real's passing in the midfield must get better, otherwise the team will continue putting itself in tough situations, and unlike the Galaxy on Saturday, most teams will bury those charity scoring opportunities.
"I know we're going to make mistakes, and I told them at halftime," said Real coach John Ellinger. "It's just a matter of how many you make, where you make them and what point of the game you make them. That's going to determine how successful we are."
A giveaway led to Los Angeles' 39th minute goal. Giveaways also contributed to several Galaxy scoring chances, including an open-net miss by Peter Vagenas inside the six-yard box, and then a Guillermo Ramirez shot that trickled through RSL's keeper and just past the post.
On most nights, those shots go in, and the Galaxy enjoy a 3-0 lead at the half.
Those giveaways are the reason Ellinger believes his team slips into the first-half funk fans have somewhat grown accustomed to."There's this moment when giveaways lead to shots, and then you get this feeling of doom, that something bad is going to happen because it happened before," said Ellinger. "And we need to get through that phase."
GETTING HELP: A player who's no stranger to MLS could be donning a Real jersey as soon as this Wednesday.
Ellinger confirmed that Dante Washington, a nine-year veteran who was released by the Columbus Crew two weeks ago, will be at the team's training session today on a trialist basis. During his MLS career, Washington has racked up 52 goals and 29 assists, while starting 111 games.
The timing might be perfect for Salt Lake.
As Real's lone striker in its 4-5-1 formation, Jason Kreis picked up a yellow card in his third consecutive game Saturday, and as a result is suspended for Wednesday's home game against Chivas USA.
Assuming Ellinger wants to stick with the 4-5-1 formation without Kreis, his options are quite limited. Only Jordan Cila seems capable of stepping into that lone forward role, and holding the ball under pressure long enough until the attack is supported.
Cila, however, has played just seven minutes in seven games, so it seems unlikely he'll start.
Ellinger could always revert back to the 4-4-2 formation the team used in its first four games, or he could stick with the 4-5-1 and start Washington.
"Crazier things have happened in this league, trust me," said Ellinger.It's still a long shot to think Washington could even play this week. With a game on Wednesday, the team would have to release a player in the next couple of days to create a roster spot to sign Washington.
IN SEARCH OF A KEEPER: Salt Lake third-string goalkeeper Noah Palmer will have season-ending surgery on his shoulder this week. As a result, the team is scouring the country to find a quality replacement.
With only one active keeper this week, Salt Lake utilized the league's extreme hardship rule to bring in Clint Baumstark for the weekend. After backing up Nolly on Saturday, Baumstark played the full 90 minutes in the reserve game Sunday.Baumstark is under contract with MLS, and is at the disposal of any team in the league in a hardship situation.

Several similarity measures such as Euclidean Distance, Histogram Intersection, Cosine or Quadratic Distances are usually used to calculate the images similarity rating. However, each of the distances has their own limitations when used in particular situation or application. This paper reports a preliminary study of current similarity measures used based on histogram matching. Few experiments on image and color histograms are also presented and discussed. Images of Oil Palm Fruits are used to estimate for its ripeness. This paper will point out the use of existing similarity measures to find the most suitable and efficient one for that particular application.

ASHEVILLE � Prosecutors say an Asheville police officer will not be charged in the shooting death of a teen who led police on a chase following a home break-in.
District Attorney Ron Moore's decision comes 10 months after Alexander Jamar Marion, 19, was killed, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported.
Moore said the officer was justified in his use of force given the circumstances at an apartment complex last September.
The State Bureau of Investigation said several officers saw Marion with a gun during a chase that lasted nearly an hour. Officers also heard a gun fire during the chase and one officer said Marion pointed a gun at him. The teen did not have a gun when he was shot.
Police say Marion was seen coming out of a house where a break-in had been reported Sept. 29. Officers say the teen ignored their order to stop. The chase ended about a mile away.

AF is 5 days late, 4th day of cramping, Pregnancy test negative. So confused! Really, it's the cramping that is bothering me the most. What would you think if you felt cramping this many days, with no sign of AF? This is not normal for me at all.
thanks mamas.
Thanks so much for your reply. Still no AF! My BBT went up to 98.3 today (was 98.1 yesterday, 97.9 the day before, 97.6 the day before that). Lots of wet cm (sorry TMI!). The cramping has subsided a bit. (AF was due 6 days ago, but now I think I ovulated late.)
Thursday am was the last time i took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. (That was 28 hours ago now) --- I'm all out of tests and need to go to the store for more!
Right now I'm just trying to distract myself with gardening, etc. Plus with three little ones it's easy to be distracted. Still, I'd really like to know what is going on!!!! What's up with all the cm? Why was I cramping for 5 days in a row? Why all the negative preg tests?
Hmmm.... I am in limbo.

The new blog is ready
Dancing With Imperialism is now live. Make sure to update your blogrolls. I'm sure I will continue to play around with format over the next few weeks, but it's mostly where I want it. If you liked the direction I had taken this blog over the past handful of years, you'll feel plenty comfortable with the new digs. I'll probably continue to publish at a sporadic pace, but think I should be able to commit to about a hundred posts annually.

New Blog Coming Soon
A few months ago, I mentioned that I was thinking of the endgame for this particular blog. Now, the time is almost at hand for the new blog to be launched. Basically, after nearly eleven years, this particular blog is a bit of a sprawling mess, and I've been narrowing my focus considerably over the last few years. The new blog will be more focused on my current interests, and will not have the massive links that plague the current blog. I've also been able to update the interface to be a bit more user-friendly. Once it's ready, I'll give you all the word. I don't know whether I'll keep this one available as a publicly available archive, or simply delete it. That's a decision I'll delay for a while, I suspect. Obviously, I want to respect mutual links to the fullest extent possible - a holdover from my Blogroll Amnesty Day era. More as it develops. Stay tuned.

Charles Barron Sees the Radical Movement Picking Up Steam
The keynote speaker for the event was Chokwe Lumumba, the Jackson, Mississippi mayor who in September told Al Jazeera: "Nowadays you've got to call yourself a 'change agent' or something, or else you'll make people scared. But I am a revolutionary."
Unlike Charles Barron, Lumumba does wear suits. But his political philosophy grew from the same intellectual root. In fact, the two have known each other for decades. Like Barron, Lumumba first entered the public stage as an activist--he served as vice-president of the Republic of New Afrika, an organization founded in 1968 to promote creating an independent black nation out of several southern states. He eventually channeled his advocacy into law, specializing in criminal defense.
"It's not like a last man standing kind of thing," says Barron. "I see the radical movement picking up a little steam in the electoral arena."
He can rattle off the examples. There's Ras Baraka, the city councilman in Newark and son of poet-activist Amiri Baraka. And then in Detroit, there's JoAnn Watson, the civil rights activist who served on the city council from 2003 to 2013, and Kwame Kenyatta, a councilman from 2005 to 2013. Kenyatta now works on Lumumba's staff.
"I see a resuscitation, a revival of black radicals actually winning seats," says Barron. "Remember in the '60s black radicals didn't win a lot of the electoral seats."
Huey Newton ran for U.S. congress. Bobby Seale ran for mayor of Oakland. Elaine Brown ran for Oakland City Council. Eldridge Cleaver ran for president. Each one lost.
"We maintain that radical spirit," says Barron. "And won elections. I don't know of a time in history that many radicals won seats."

Building the future
- As far as you visited post-soviet countries, has such an experience made an influence on you views?Linkage
- I've been particularly struck by the failure of the US, UK, and western Europe to learn from the socialist experiments. It's like there has been a deliberate effort to obliterate the experience of trying to build egalitarian societies. Full fledged capitalism, privatization, and all the theft and impoverishment that result from it was unleashed with no regard to preserving the best attributes of the socialist systems. Both materially and conceptually, these countries have been taken over by capitalism and in the name of democracy. Why the rush? Why the attempt to obliterate history?
I think it was because of capitalism's deep fear of the people, its attempt to buy people off with some quick goodies, divide them from one another, and all before people have time to think about what is going on and undertake new political experiments. To my mind, some of the most important work that needs to be done is compiling histories, testimonies, archives of the socialist experience with an eye toward asking what worked and why? Where did problems arise? Too much of that history was totally distorted by the Cold War.
- Could you wish something to our students and left activists who try to oppose neoliberal capitalism?
- Organize. You are stronger collectively. Draw from the communist legacy. Don't fall for trendy anarchist rhetoric that is just another form of capitalist individualism.
- Can you imagine our world in 10, 20 or 50 years? How do you see it?
- You know, at the beginning of the Bush administration, I was lamenting about how bad things were going to be. I had no idea. Reality has been much worse than I imagined -- Guantanamo Bay prison camp, indefinite detention, torture, a security state, the dramatic increase in inequality, collapse of basic infrastructure. The same with Obama -- I knew he wasn't a liberal or a progressive (much less a communist that the Right accuses him of being). But I didn't think he would be the president of the big banks, the savior of Goldman Sachs and the president to attempt to make cuts in the most popular and successful social program in the US, Social Security. Yet I also didn't foresee Occupy Wall Street, which has been the most exciting development on the US left since 1968.
So it's like things get worse, but new possibilities appear. That's what I expect will continue. Inequality will continue to get worse, yet the left will build a new global communist party stronger and more flexible than anything we've ever seen. Our Communist International will exert a counterpower with which the IMF, European Central Bank, World Bank, and others will have to contend. It will unite workers and non-workers throughout the world and make our collective force felt. To paraphrase Mao, everything will be in chaos, yet the situation will be excellent.

Quotable: MLK
In any social revolution there are times when the tailwinds of triumph and fulfillment favor us, and other times when strong headwinds of disappointment and setbacks beat against us relentlessly. We must not permit adverse winds to overwhelm us as we journey across life's mighty Atlantic; we must be sustained by our engines of courage in spite of the winds. This refusal to be stopped, this "courage to be," this determination to go on "in spite of" is the hallmark of any great movement.Martin Luther King, Jr.

Some people push back
There is a truism that those in power need us (even if merely to quietly accept our oppression) more than we need them. The fear that we might collectively realize our power leads to all manner of laws aimed at discouraging us from ever organizing - as Spain's right-wing government has attempted recently. Thankfully, people periodically remind their would-be masters who really has the upper hand, and stop traffic in the process. That's no guarantee of immediate success for us, as history is littered with painful examples of failed resistance efforts. But we have had our successes, and will again. Nothing would freak out our own 1% more than an organized Left that could withstand the sorts of crackdowns that usually bring down spontaneous movements. Might be something said for organizing, finding a way to live with each others' theoretical differences where possible, and gaining some tangible power. Just sayin'.

Like 19th century archaeologists suddenly gaining the secret of hieroglyphics, astronomers for the first time have precisely measured the size, mass, and temperature of not one but two elusive brown dwarfs--hot, luminous objects that are not quite stars but are too large to be planets. Their observations neatly matched several theoretical predictions, a sign that models of stellar evolution are on the right track.
Astronomers detected the pair locked in a tight orbit around each other almost directly edge-on to Earth-based telescopes. The orientation allowed the team to compute the pair's masses by applying Newton's equations for orbits to the periods at which they eclipse each other's light. "It's Physics 101," explains team leader Keivan Stassun, an astronomer at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. "This binary pair is a Rosetta stone that will help to unlock many of the mysteries regarding brown dwarfs."
Until now, the small size and dim light of brown dwarfs prevented accurate measurements of their masses--the critical element in stellar evolution and destinies. In this case, the dwarfs fell right in the anticipated range: between 13 and 80 times as massive as Jupiter, too small to ignite the nuclear fusion reactions that power stars. The data, combined with measurements of their brightness, provide critical points on a mass-luminosity relationship curve, which plots the characteristics of many celestial objects. Because similar stars tend to have similar masses, the new brown-dwarf readings should help astronomers pinpoint the masses of other brown dwarfs.
Stassun and colleagues Robert Mathieu of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Jeff Valenti of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, collected and analyzed about 1500 images accumulated from 300 nights of observations over 12 years. In the 16 March issue of Nature, they report that the two dwarfs are about 1500 light-years away in the Orion Nebula's stellar nursery, meaning they must be very young--perhaps only a million years old. The data also show they are remarkably large--nearly sun-sized. That combination of youth and largeness supports another hypothesis: that brown dwarfs are nearly as big as stars at birth but gradually contract over very long lifetimes.
One surprise is that the heavier of the two is slightly cooler--about 2650 kelvin, versus 2790 K for its twin. "One possible explanation is that the two objects have different origins and ages," Stassun says. If so, he adds, it could validate recent computer models that predict many brown dwarfs are born separately but close together.
The new data fill in details about the most uncertain portion of brown dwarf evolution, says Subhanjoy Mohanty of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "As such, their study is critical for a better understanding of the evolution and properties of brown dwarfs in general."

Occupy LA supporters are asking a federal judge to bar the city from tearing down their tent city on the lawn near City Hall.
Jim Lafferty of the National Lawyers Guild says he filed a petition Monday in federal court. He argues that the City Council passed a resolution of support for the occupiers nearly two months ago and that effectively protects them from the city's ban on overnight camping.
The protesters declared a minor victory early Monday when they defied a midnight order to pack up. A mainly peaceful protest blocked downtown streets but ended with just four arrests before police withdrew.
Police Chief Charlie Beck says the tent city will be cleared when he decides it's safe but there's no concrete deadline.
