Новый ударный беспилотник показан общественности в Китае
В Китае публике презентовали одноразовый беспилотный летательный аппарат. По неподтвержденной информации, устройство принадлежит военно-морским силам Китая.
В описании к фото прилагаются технические характеристики беспилотника: взлетный вес составляет 3 тонны, а вес переносимого груза может достигать до 1 тонны. Продолжительность полета составляет приблизительно полтора часа.
Беспилотный летательный аппарат держится в воздухе благодаря экранному эффекту. Эффект этот создается из-за потока воздуха, который отражается от поверхности и обтекает само устройство.
Благодаря экранному эффекту беспилотник может развивать необычайно высокую скорость. Эксперты предполагают, что новшество будет использовано для поражения морских целей.

The Lincoln County Cooperative Extension is looking for T-shirt designs for this fall's annual Apple Festival.
The winning design will be printed on shirts and sold by an area nonprofit, Extension officials said.
In years past, non-profit organizations such as Lincoln County Coalition Against Child Abuse and Amy's House, among others, "won the right to sell the T-shirts," Extension Administrative Assistant Joyce Dorsey said.
In order to be selected, non-profit groups must submit an application to the Extension Office and describe how funds from the T-shirt sale will benefit the local community and "other worthy causes," the application states.
"(The contest) is just another way that the Apple Festival Board gives back to the community by allowing a non-profit to earn money," Dorsey said.
The Apple Festival Board will determine the winner later next month.
The top three designs will receive a monetary prize including $200 for first place, $100 for second place and $75 for third place.
Design applicants must be residents of Lincoln County.
Applications may be submitted to the following address: Lincoln County Apple Festival, Attn: Joyce Dorsey, 115 West Main Street, Lincolnton, N.C. 28092.
The deadline for both design and nonprofit applications is April 1.
For more information or questions, call the Extension Office at (704) 736-8452.

RICKY HATTON has revealed just how close he came to committing suicide
following his retirement from boxing.
The Hitman quit the sport after losing to Manny Pacquiao in 2009 but announced
his ring return last month.
And Hatton has admitted that during his three-year hiatus his girlfriend used
to have to take a knife from his hand as depression took its toll on his
The 34-year-old said: "I was near to a nervous breakdown, depression,
"Most mornings my girlfriend would have to come downstairs and take a knife
out of my hand.
"I had a knife at my wrists, I was in a really bad way, just hysterically
crying for no reason.
"I've always liked a little bit of a drink, but my drinking had gone way off
the Richter scale, I was having blackouts.
"And even if I was stone cold sober I was trying to kill myself. The real
lowest point was when my little girl came along, who is one-year-old now.
"My son Campbell had the misfortune to see his dad in such a bad way, I am not
going to do it any more to my kids and I'm not going to put my family though
it any more.
Hatton, who fights Ukraine's Vyacheslav Senchenko on November 24, said he is
returning to the sport because he feels like a "failure".
He revealed: "I feel sad because I feel ashamed of myself.
"It doesn't matter how many people say, 'Ricky, everyone has problems and you
got beaten my Mayweather and Pacquiao who are the two best fighters of our
generation, you did the country proud'.
"That's very kind of people to say, but they don't have to deal with this
little fella who sits on my shoulder every day telling me that I'm a failure
and I've let my family and my fans down and British sport, British boxing
"I feel a failure and it doesn't matter how many people say, 'Don't be too
hard on yourself', that's how I feel and that's how I'm coming back. I feel
I've got to redeem myself.
"It's more than a boxing match for me. For me everything I've done in my
career, all the world titles and great wins have all been for nothing.
That's how I feel.
"I feel I have to come back and redeem myself as a man to my fans, my family,
my friends, loved ones, just the whole of British sport to be honest.
Because it doesn't mater how many people say it to me, I feel like I've let
everyone own.
"I've got to put the demon and those ghosts to rest."
Hatton admitted he had considered how he would handle a defeat against
Senchenko next month, and added: "I would rather get flattened again so I
could look at myself in the mirror and say, 'You know what Ricky, you gave
it your best shot'.
"Whether I win, lose or draw, I've already won from where I came in."
"I want people to look at me as a four-time world champion, man of the people
and not look at me as this joke I feel I've become."

When the last tremor of the Haiti earthquake faded away in January 2010, it left some 300,000 dead and about the same number of wrecked homes in its wake, not to mention the destruction of schools, hospitals, government buildings, roads, lighting and just about every other item of infrastructure that a nation needs to go about its business.
But the international response was instant and generous. No less than $12.32bn was pledged in humanitarian and recovery funding under the highly optimistic title, given the nation's benighted past, of "Towards a new future for Haiti."
Now that we've reached the third anniversary of the disaster, about half the money has been spent. But to what good? In short, how does Haiti's vaunted new future look?
For some 347,000 people, not good at all. They're the ones still living in tents in 450 restless and dysfunctional "temporary" camps all over Haiti. They survive on a dollar a day or less, and about 80,000 could soon be evicted.
At the worst of the homeless crisis, in July 2011, about 1.5m Haitians lived in 1,500 of these tattered tent cities, so it could be said the humanitarian mission has been reasonably successful. But closer inspection reveals that Haiti is as far from achieving a decent future as it ever was. In fact, things could be worsening.
As the International Organisation for Migrations, one of the hardest-working bodies in Haiti with 486 staff on the ground, reported in January, "even with a 76 percent reduction [this] is still one of the largest on-going displacement crises caused by natural disasters to date."
Amnesty International's latest report is blunter, describing the homeless situation as "nothing short of catastrophic".
Meanwhile armed paramilitary groups are roaming the countryside after being demobilised. The justice system is virtually absent for most Haitians. A cholera epidemic that visiting researchers described as "preventable" has killed 7,800 and still stalks the land. Unemployment varies between 70 and 86 percent of the 10m population, despite earlier billion-dollar loans to boost jobs.
And although the optimists set considerable store on the new government of president Michel Martelly, a 51 year-old pop singer, and prime minister Laurent Lamothe, we've been here before. Most previous Haitian governments have varied between kleptomaniac, brutal, dysfunctional or merely weak. Ominously, the new government is asking for "aid sovereignty", which looks very much like getting its hands on the lolly.
In short, the worst fears of former World Bank president Robert Zoellick may have been realised. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster – a period when international rescue operations were performing miracles, he warned that the spending of all donor funds must be carefully targeted and conscientiously monitored. Above all they must not be wasted on "feel-good projects", in his own words.
So what have we got for that $12.32bn? A lot of feel-good projects. Only a fraction has been allocated to decent housing, although it's surely the most urgent need. Little wonder then that Canada's minister for international cooperation, Julian Fantino, has just frozen his country's generous contributions because he is so dissatisfied with progress.
The tsunami-devastated region of Aceh in Indonesia should have shown the way. Virtually flattened in 2004, it bounced back within six years. In a model of project coordination, 140,000 houses were rebuilt, 2,500 miles of roads constructed, and 200,000 small businesses – the building blocks of the economy – granted financial support.
In Haiti, the omnipresent non-governmental organisations are part of the problem. In a recent review of the reconstruction project, Time magazine referred to their "bloated presence" and added that "the NGO-industrial complex can seem more bent on perpetuating itself than on purging the problems it came to fix." Put another way, what did Homeopaths without Borders do for Haiti?
Of course, much good has been done. A US-funded farming programme hugely boosted yields of corn and rice. Foreign doctors have pitched in to help overworked local medics. Some schools have been rebuilt and educational reforms put in place. But none of that means anything to 347,000 tent-dwellers.

Recommendation for new charger
With all the chargers out there, it's hard to tell from the ads which ones are best. My old charger died, so I'm in the market for a new one.
I'm looking for an AC/DC powered charger for LiPo batteries, capable of charging two batteries wired in parallel. A balancer board would be a requirement. Most of my batteries are 3 cell packs. A strict DC powered charger would be okay (I can grab a power supply for AC charging).
I'd appreciate any suggestions based on actual experiences you may have.
powerlab 6 by revolextric fma. they make great chargers and are well worth the money what with all the safety features that will hopefully prevent issues while charging.
Don't know for certain, but my impression is that chargers that operate on both 120 VAC and 12 Volts DC may not have high power capabilities. Wattflyer readers???
Power supplies are available from a wide variety of places. Plan on about $50 for one, depending on current capacity.
Meanwell power supplies are high quality units.
For higher power
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/sto...0001_374011_-1 (I've got one of these, very nice unit.)
We all have our favourite charger but the one that's right for you depends on what you need it for and very importantly your budget.
If you can answer a few questions it makes it easier to narrow down the options:
Hitec X4. Note there are 3 versions. One is AC/DC. One is DC only 50 watts per port and I forgot the specs of the 3rd.
If you've got smaller batteries, this Hitec unit would be just fine. Several of my club members have them, and are well satisfied. They mostly use them to recharge LiFe receiver battery packs.
My club members using big LiPo battery packs for electric motor power generally have the Cellpro chargers.
I recommend never buying a 6S pack. Buy 2X3S and put them in series. The 6S's center cells can't cool. I've had the center 2 cells go bad early in every 6S pack I have had.
For my 12S setups I use either 3 X 4S packs or 4 X 3S packs in series. Pull the packs immediately and space them out so they can cool after a flight. surface temp of the packs from the big EDF is typically 110 to 115 F when I pull them and 120 to 130 f 3 minutes later... that's the heat moving from inside the cells to the surface.
The bigger the pack the harder it is for that heat to get out.
I only need to charge a few packs, and recharging speed isn't that important. I'd rather spend the money for an extra battery than to fast charge.
I doubt I'd ever go much beyond a 3000mah pack. Right now, I'm looking to charge two 2200mah 3s 50C packs in parallel. Charging different capacity packs isn't that important. Discharging to storage voltage is no rush, either.
Budget? I've always believed that you get what you pay for. I don't mind spending the money on a quality unit with the features I want.
And finally, I'm in the USA. (Central Massachusetts - does that count?)
Paul here's one for you I have had mine for 2 years, and still going strong, and this guy is great to do business with. Buy it today you would have it by wed. they ship fast plus the customer service is excellent.
Nothing wrong with the Cellpro, it's a very fine charger. But for what you say you want, and by the time you have added a suitable power supply to the Cellpro, then the one i linked to above would save you at least $200, and it would still do all you asked for.
FYI, a 100 Watt charger is able to charge a 6S LiPo at about 4 Amps. That would allow charging a 6S 4000 Mah LiPo in about an hour.
For $50 or so, not bad.
HK charger
Has anyone have any information on this charger Turnigy MEGA 400Wx2 is it worth the money
Personally I most fond of the I-charger 206B w/ 350 PS. EPBuddy and ProgressiveRC have them. On power supplies, one of our club members, an Engineer at Verizon has a very successful side business supplying powerful power supplys.
Inexpensive and very robust. Worth checking out: http://feathermerchantrc.com/

This page gives best practices to install the legacy product Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh (SEP for Mac) 11.x on Mac OS X Server.
It is recommended that you use the newest Symantec Endpoint Protection version. As of SEP 12.1, Macintosh OS X Server is fully supported. SEP 11.x is considered End of Life (EOL), and all support ends on January 5, 2015.
For your convenience, the following tips are provided for tuning installations on OS X servers or workstations.
- Symantec has not informally or formally tested SEP 11.x for Mac with Xsan or Xserve RAID. Symantec cannot recommend using SEP for Mac in this way.
- SEP 11.x for Mac on Mac OS X Server should not be seen as a replacement for antivirus software on client computers.
- These guidelines also apply to SAV for Mac, which is no longer supported.
- To tune performance, set up Auto-Protect to scan only very specific areas of your storage. Target places like: FTP directory, WebDAV directories, Shared Items, and user directories. Do this using the "ONLY in" option in the Symantec Auto-Protect Preference Pane on the Safe Zones tab (SAV for Mac), or in the Antivirus and Antispyware policy, under Mac Settings, File System Auto-Protect, General Scan details.
- As of Mac OS X 10.4, Auto-Protect scans files that are written to a mounted network share from the client running Auto-Protect. In some network configurations, this can cause degraded performance and reliability. Excluding mounted shares using SafeZones will resolve these type of issues. Universal SafeZones on Network drives can lower performance when you copy files from one computer to another or save files to a network share. By excluding the network share via SafeZones, it will improve file transfer times and stop Auto-Protect related error messages. However, every exclusion set poses a security risk, particularly on a server that may be hosting content for multi-platforms, so this should be considered before excluding all shares outright.
Note: Safe Zones and Centralized Exceptions can exclude files and folders or include files or folders, not both. To use Centralized Exceptions via the SEPM, "Scan everywhere except in specific folders" must be checked in Antivirus / Antispyware policy, under Mac Settings, File System Auto-Protect. See Technical Information for documentation.
- Turn off the scanning of compressed files to increase performance.
- Mac OS X Server bundles antivirus and antispam with the mail service. If you enable mail service, make sure that this directory is not scanned:
- Never scan directories with database files (such as MySQL, FileMaker, etc.). You will want to exclude these directories.
Current Protection
- To keep SEP or SAV for Mac current, set up LiveUpdate to launch for the root account; if managed, ensure a LiveUpdate schedule is established via LiveUpdate policy (SEP for Mac) or send it a schedule (SAV for Mac). If unmanaged, use symsched via command line in Terminal. By scheduling LiveUpdate for the root account, SEP or SAV for Mac is updated no matter which account is logged on (see Technical Information).

iTV, iTunes and Anime
I'm assuming this wont work unless I convert my collection, playable to iTunes first in order for it stream to the iTV.
Does anyone have experience with these kind of streaming devices from your computer to a device(ie: iTV) to your TV?
iTV's catch is if it plays on iTunes, it will play on iTV.
Looking at this thread:
0 Votes for iTunes.

iTunes doesn't have its own video format now, does it? I thought iTunes relied on Quicktime for both its audio and video rendering. Basically, if your fansub would play in Quicktime, it'd play in iTunes.
If you can get Quicktime to play .avi and H.264/xvid, theoretically it should work. To be honest, I have not yet looked into how iTV works, so I'm not 100% sure... seems plausible from my guesses, though.

Now that AppleTV is out, it will probably encourage developers to make something to import more formats into iTunes. Before this, there really was no need.

Indeed, iTunes relies on QuickTime for playback of most formats, though it will treat some formats differently (XiphQT still has problems with this) and has its own internal codecs. However, it will only open certain file extensions regardless of what QT can open and .avi/.mkv aren't on the list. As far as I know, .ogg is the only exception for which support can be added. There are of course a couple different tricks you can do to get unsupported file formats into iTunes, but the AppleTV still won't play anything that it doesn't support even if iTunes plays it, which is Main Profile H.264 minus CABAC, 720p @ 24 fps or 960x540 @ 30fps. Of course, if it's possible to hack in support for more codecs to the AppleTV, it'll probably happen.

To be honest, I've never used iTunes to play ANY video.
I've only used it to manage my songs and sync with my iPods.
Well, I tried importing some videos(AVI) into iTunes and it doesn't seem to want to be added into my library.
I've also got a few .mp4 files but QuickTime doesn't seem to wanna play them.
Well, I guess I should wait until I see other revisions or community mods to the iTV before I give Steve Jobs more money...

But syncing is a pain for now. And it does only have a 1GHz processor...

Wow, they are able to install Perian since it's a modified thin version of OSX plus you can SMB to it removing the need to sync with iTunes.
Wow, AppleTV is looking to be a really mod friendly hardware.
Will definitely be keeping track of this progress.

Meh my TV has VGA in. So if I want to watch something thats on my laptop all I have to do is hook up the TV to the VGA out and ta-da anime on my TV. Thus the iTV is pointless for me. I suppose I could see it being usefull if you only had a desktop and your TV was in another room, but for me thats not the case.
Pretty cool that it's modifiable to watch anime though!

The apple tv looks like it'll turn into a great hackers platform, it'd be feasable to port XBMC or MythTV to it...
though, for it to work with itunes for now, its possibly best to convert the video into a format.. there are several ways of doing it, if the content is SD (640x480/640x320) a free app like isquint is pretty good, or you can use quicktime itself to port it. or whatever windows equivalents there are.
if you want speed its better to just convert it into mpeg4 rather than h264. since it can take AGES to convert.
the nice part about using itunes is that it uses metadata to organize things rather than folders. a few metadata editors allow for more editing that itunes allows internally, like adding episode descriptions.

2014/15 funded projects
A total of £35,708.61 was successfully awarded through the 2014/15 Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Community Fund to the following 10 community groups in Scotland.
Women's Learn to Ride Leaders Project Backbone
Backbone as an organisation target marginalised groups, with particular reference to women and BME communities. They bring people from different backgrounds together through engaging with nature and outdoor activities.
Backbone were awarded a CFSCF grant in 2012 to run Women's Learn To Ride Project in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Fife, Highlands & Perth. They used their grant to train over 15 women as Cycle Ride Leaders which would give them the skills to run informal bike sessions for their family and friends. These women are giving back to their own community, targeting those who would not normally go out biking due to lack of confidence, isolation issues, cultural barriers, mental health issues and lack of command of the English language.
The Women's Learn to Ride Leaders project will support the next phase of skill development for several of the women who were engaged with the initial project. This will give the confidence and knowledge needed to set up cycling projects in multiple locations across Scotland. Backbone will use their CFSCF grant to hold maintenance sessions, first aid training and provision of supervision from Cycling Scotland Tutors. The leadership qualification gained will allow the women to progress in leading successful and sustainable cycling groups.
Glenelg by Bike Bike Club – Glenelg Parent Council
The Bike Club was recently set up by Glenelg Parent Council and based in the village of Glenelg in the Western Highlands. The Bike Club will run the Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Community Funded project 'Glenelg by Bike'. This project is supported by Cycling Scotland to provide seasonal Dr. Bike and 'Fix Your Own' bike maintenance sessions to adults and children to allow them to repair minor faults on their bikes. Two members of the community will receive Cycle Ride Leader training which will enable the development of a local led ride programme. A cycle track will be used at community events and to help increase bike skills and control. Overall it is anticipated that with the increased knowledge of bike maintenance and confidence gained from participation in led rides, the community will increase their cycling habits and replace shore journeys by bike.
The Vennie Bike Club Knightsridge Adventure Project
Knightsridge Adventure Project (known locally as the Vennie) is based in Knightsridge and the surrounding area in North Livingstone and was established 6 years ago in response to a community consultation raising concerns about anti-social behaviour, problematic drinking and youth crime.
The Vennie has been supported by previously CFSCF funded project Put Your West Foot Forward Cycling Initiative to undertake Cycle Ride Leader and bike maintenance training in order to establish led cycle rides and a small bike lending library. In response to the community's enthusiasm, The Vennie Bike Club will build on these skills to develop a bike recycling initiative with their Cycle Friendly and Sustainable Community Fund. Bike maintenance skills will be transferred to young people, increasing their employability, self-confidence, health and wellbeing. Unused bikes donated by the community will be recycled and used to extend the library, allowing increased number of users. It is anticipated that The Vennie Bike Club project will increase health and wellbeing in the North Lanarkshire community as well as increasing employability of those involved.
Cycling with Garden for Life Polbeth and West Calder Community Garden
Polbeth and West Calder Community Garden are a group that runs a 5 acre site between the ex-mining towns of Polbeth and West Calder in West Lothian. Alongside growing, they manage a woodland area and engage with the local schools and youth groups. Their project, Cycling with Garden for Life, aims to increase local cycling and in particular, reduce non-essential car usage to the community garden. They will use their grant to purchase secure bike stands which will be located at the garden. Previously CFSCF funded project Put Your West Foot Forward, will work in partnership with Polbeth and West Calder Community Garden to arrange led rides.
Perth Cycle Hub NHS Tayside
The Perth Physiotherapy Department for Adults with Learning Disabilities supports clients with learning disabilities, which are often accompanied by a wide range of physical impairments. The Perth Cycle Hub project will provide a range of cycling activities to enhance health and wellbeing of those with physical and learning disabilities in the community. The CFSCF grant will be used to purchase adapted bicycles and to train staff to support cyclists with disabilities. This project will be run in partnership with Blazing Saddles, run through Fabb Scotland, who aim to use 'bikes to break barriers'. The aim of this group is to provide an opportunity for the learning disability population to learn a new skill which can be used for recreation, health and travel purposes, and which can provide a route to progress into other independent cycling groups within the community.
Get Active Dalbeattie Healthy Dalbeattie Community Partnership
The Healthy Dalbeattie Community Partnership is a multi-agency initiative that was created as a partnership between the NHS, Local Authority and local cycle enthusiasts.
The CFSCF funded project, Get Active Dalbeattie, will focus on increasing confidence and utilisation of bikes for active travel and recreation among the community. Volunteers of the project will be trained as Cycle Ride Leaders to allow a programme of led rides to be established. This is intended to increase confidence in cycling and skills in basic bike repairs and maintenance will also be gained through maintenance training sessions. The group will promote the project through local schools, the health centre, the sport and leisure centre and community groups as well as host awareness raising events that will highlight the benefits of cycling.
CamGlen Bike Town Healthy n Happy Community Development Trust
Due to local demand, Healthy n Happy Community Development Trust recently developed a new initiative called CamGlen Bike Town. The initiative aims to encourage people to cycle more and support the communities of Cambuslang and Rutherglen to become cycle friendly by removing access barriers and providing cycling opportunities. It seeks to help people get out of their cars and onto their bikes for local journeys; decreasing carbon emissions whilst boosting health, making savings on journey costs and generating community activities. Their CFSCF grant will allow them to establish local cycle 'meet up' groups for adults and women only. It will allow the development and facilitation of year round Bike Commuter Trains (like LA Bike Train labiketrains.com) as well as led rides for all in the community. Dr Bike sessions and maintenance training will also be provided for all in the community to benefit from. A children's specific bike club will be developed to local kids to allow them to familiarise themselves with the community and provide them with knowledge of safe cycling routes and essential bike maintenance skills. This project will be run in conjunction with a Climate Challenge Fund project Healthy n Happy are also delivering.
Blazing Saddles – The Missing Link Fabb Scotland
FABB Scotland's Blazing Saddles' All Ability Mobile Cycling Hub promotes all ability cycling throughout Scotland. It provides the resources for people with additional support needs take part in cycling with their friends and family. In partnership with Scottish Disability Sport, Sustrans Scotland and Scottish Cycling they aim to set-up 12 all ability cycling hubs throughout Scotland by March 2017. The missing Link project will support the establishment of hubs in Stirling and Fife.
Since 2012, Blazing Saddles has provided all ability bike sessions and cycle out days for over 650 young people, children and adults with additional support needs. This has been done in partnership with local Active Schools Co-ordinators, Outdoor Education Instructor, local disability sport development and community health officers. Their CFSCG grant will fund cycle training for volunteer bike buddies, roadside repair sessions for parents and carers and learning sessions on specialised and adapted bikes. Blazing Saddles will also support the Perth Cycle Hub project which also benefits from grant funding in this round of CFSCF.
Go Neilston! Go Bike! Neilston Development Trust
Neilston Development Trust was established by the Neilston community in 2006 to support the regeneration of the area. The aim of the trust is to develop physical, economic and personal assets of our community. They successfully received a CFSCF grant in 2012 to deliver a cycling project called Bike Bank Hub, which they used to train volunteers and staff in bike maintenance and cycle training. Maintenance sessions were held which taught locals how to fix their own bikes and cycle training was delivered to school children and adults.
Go Neilston! Go Bike! will be a continuation of the initial project. It will support the "main streaming" of on-road, local journeys by bike, to school; to local facilities, services and shops, and increase the numbers of woman, over 50's; families, commuters and young people cycling locally and as a recreational activity. They will do this in a variety of ways which include, recycling of donated bikes, long term loans of refurbished bikes, development of bike-trains to and from local schools, encouraging Cycle Friendly School Award application and much more and overall remove barriers that currently prevent people cycling in Neilston.
Re-Cycle Networks of Wellbeing Ltd
Networks of Wellbeing is a mental health and wellbeing organisation that provides support services to Huntly and the surrounding areas in Aberdeenshire. Cycling was identified as an area of development three years ago which has led to the promotion of cycling and associated bike related activity in recent years. The 'Huntly Bike Shack', established in 2012 by Networks of Wellbeing, coordinates a volunteer led, bike recycling scheme. The Re-Cycle project will use their CFSCF grant to train two volunteers as bike mechanics. The two trained mechanics will deliver bike maintenance sessions to the community particularly to adults and to secondary school pupils. It is hoped that the school children will benefit from these maintenance sessions and feel more confident to ride their bikes to school as they will have basic maintenance knowledge, should they need to apply it. Overall, it is anticipated that there will be an increase in cycling in the Huntly area for purposeful journeys which will ultimately lead to reduced carbon emissions.

OBJECTIVES: Since atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) involves removal of carious lesions with manual instruments, improvement of filling materials to guarantee greater success should be considered. This study aimed to evaluate antibacterial, physical, and bonding properties of glass-ionomer cements (GIC) containing chlorhexidine (CHX), and to determine optimal concentrations for incorporation of agents to obtain antibacterial GICs for use with the ART approach. METHODS: CHX diacetate combined with CHX dihydrochloride was added to control GIC powder to obtain concentration ratios of 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 1/1, or 2/2% w/w. Antibacterial activity of each cement against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus casei or Actinomyces naeslundii was examined using agar-diffusion methods, and release of CHX was analyzed by HPLC. Compressive strength, bond strength to dentin, and setting time were measured, and compared with those of control samples. RESULTS: All experimental GICs exhibited inhibition of three bacteria, but sizes of inhibition zones and concentrations of CHX released were not dependent upon CHX content. Incorporation of CHX diacetate at 2% or greater, significantly decreased compressive strength, and bond strength to dentin was adversely affected by addition of CHX diacetate at 2% or more (p<0.05, ANOVA, Fisher's PLSD test), although setting time was extended a little by addition of any concentrations of CHX. SIGNIFICANCE: The present results demonstrate that experimental GICs containing CHX are effective in inhibiting bacteria associated with caries, and incorporation of 1% CHX diacetate is optimal to give appropriate physical and bonding properties.

Let us be clear how unequivocally, unsnarkily happy we are about this development. PJ Harvey beat out several promising and/or hyped contenders, including Adele and Katy B, to win the Mercury Prize, one of the UK's most highly coveted musical awards and a reliable sales boost.
Harvey, of course, hardly needed the boost in exposure; she's one of the legendary singer-songwriters and an influence, consciously or unconsciously, on just about every woman in pop or rock today. Just looking at artists making music in 2011, EMA and Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds have said they've been influenced by her, and countless other women get compared to her almost reflexively. She's also the Mercury Prize's first repeat winner, taking the prize in 2001 for Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. And she was among the popular favorites to win, both for her legacy and for the fact that album Let England Shake is broadly, overtly political when the demand for topical music somehow far outstrips its supply.
Look for no end of discussion over the coming days about what this says about: A) the state of music, B) the state of women in music, C) attitudes toward politics and/or 9/11, about which Let England Shake and single "The Words That Maketh Murder" could be seen as having something to say. For now, we're just pleased the right one won.

Katy Perry married Russell Brand only two months ago, but it sounds like the new bride is already thinking about starting a family. And a big one at that.
Absolutely. I don't want to miss out on any experience. I want lots of children."
"It's all very possible," Katy added.
The California Gurls singer said that she was looking forward to spending her first Christmas with Russell as a married couple. "There will be me and Russ and a pink Christmas tree and a tofu-urky," Katy said.
"We'll open one present the night before because that's the tradition in my family. And we'll do something new. We'll start our own new tradition because we are a family now."
When asked about her new hubby, Katy gushed, "What can I say? He's brilliant. Every day he amazes me."

A texting and driving simulator will be at today's 2nd Saturdays event downtown.
AT&T is bringing a virtual reality simulator to the event to "let residents experience the dangers of texting and driving firsthand," said Scott Huscher, a spokesman for AT&T.
The simulator will be at the AT&T booth at East Congress Street and South Scott Avenue from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Drivers will get a chance to take part in the "It Can Wait" campaign, organizers said.
The 100 deadliest days on the roads for teen drivers are from Memorial Day to Labor Day, says the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
More than 100,000 times each year, a car crashes and people are injured or die because a driver was texting and driving, says the National Safety Council.
In addition, a recent AT&T survey found that 75 percent of teens say that texting while driving is "common" among their friends.

Celebration To Thank Community Volunteers For Responding To Needs Of Hurricane Victims
State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, 22nd District) recently hosted a celebration to thank the volunteers of the community who responded to the calls for help and donated items to the collection organized by his office, CERT 1 NYC, and the Brooklyn Rotary Club, at a reception to held on Wednesday, November 2, 2005 at the Bay Ridge Manor.
Over seven truckloads of items including food, water, clothing (new and used), baby items, toiletries, books, school supplies, and shoes were sent to both Houston, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Items were received by Senator Golden's District Officers by over 700 residents of Southwest Brooklyn.
Senator Golden honored the contributions of numerous organizations including: CERT 1 NYC, the Brooklyn Rotary Club, the East Coast Kruzers, 68th Precinct Auxiliary, the Brooklyn CERT. Assemblyman Matthew Mirones and presented Certificates of Recognition on behalf of Senator Golden who was unable to attend due to the death of his mother-in-law.
Assemblyman Mirones, reading a prepared statement from Senator Golden stated, "The help that you gave to the people of the South, proves to the world what I already knew: that the people of this community are among the most generous and patriotic in this country. You have renewed the belief that when America faces hard and trying times, Americans respond and come to the aid of their neighbors."

Exclusive! 'Sausage Party' Stars Seth Rogen And Michael Cera Roast Your Favorite Foods
takes on the role of a lifetime in , voicing an animated sausage on a quest to save himself and his friends from their ultimate fate — being eaten. Thankfully he isn't alone on the adventure, as he's as a fellow sausage who doesn't want to die anytime soon.
Movie Pilot went live with Rogen and Cera, and to stick with the food theme we had the pair roast some of your favorite foods. While the duo let their insults fly free, we also got a look at how they've become such close friends over the years.
The pair's collaboration began nearly 10 years ago on the set of Superbad. As the production was prepping, Rogen, Cera, director Greg Mottola and the rest of the cast would meet up Rogen's place to hang out, read the script and get to know each other. Naturally, that included some drunken debauchery, and as Cera recalled:
"About this time 10 years ago we were getting ready to do [Superbad], which was a phase of getting to know each other, which was really fun. … [We'd] do Edward Fortyhands with a big group of people."
In the end, it's clear that even if they're working on a silly animated movie, the guys want to make the funniest film possible. And reaching that goal is definitely helped by their genuine friendship. Check out the video above for the full story, and for a look at the pair's hilarious insults.
Sausage Party hits theaters on August 12. Are you excited for Rogen and Cera's animated comedy? Let us know in the comments below. And be sure to follow Super News by Movie Pilot on Facebook for more live videos.

SANTA CRUZ >> Even while in the midst of installing a piece of her art on display, outgoing Mission Hill Middle School student Anna Kazimi also had a chance to hear plenty of praise for her work.
Mission Hill Middle art teacher Kathleen Crocetti, her visiting parents Sharon and Ferruccio Crocetti of Oregon City, Oregon, and Kazimi were at the Homeless Services Center on Coral Street recently, carefully preparing and grouting a mosaic of student-made art tiles with the word "Hope" embedded.
"I think it's pretty cool," Kazimi said of having her tile on one of the shelter's outer walls. "There's a lot of people coming by and saying, 'Whoa, you're still working on it,' and 'Yeah, I like it!' That's pretty positive, because it shows that they're really appreciating it."
The project was a smaller version of an earlier schoolwide effort to create a large "Dawn of a new day" mural at the center last month, with each tile hand-painted by students. Several student-made tiles were not placed in the original mural, and so the remainders were assembled to create smaller murals.
Watching nearby, Stephen Nelson vowed to keep the murals clean as part of his work as campus and community services coordinator at the Homeless Services Center. Nelson, formerly homeless himself, said he was amazed at the relatively small effort making such a big impact.
"I think it's a beautiful thing. You know what I find that's really heartwarming? Kids, babies are taking initiative to show concern about our disadvantaged population," Nelson said. "These young kids are leading the way. They're inspirational. And it breaks my heart, in a good sense, that kids have to lead the way... And if we've got 7, 8, 9, 10-year-old kids leading the way, somehow we're just not getting it."
Crocetti has her art students help to create public murals each year, drawing from a variety of local business donations, government grant and crowdsourcing to fund her efforts. The Homeless Services Center mural was one of the mosaic projects involving her students this year, the other being the Barson Stairs on Barson Street in the Lower Ocean area, as recipients of the city's new Neighborhood Grant Program. The annual projects are part of Crocetti's larger plan to turn Santa Cruz into a "mosaic destination."
The conceptual Santa Cruz artist even gathered artists like herself together last year to help with the effort in a group called Mosaic Artists Santa Cruz. Crocetti has been working since 1994 to create readable and engaging images that distill complex social issues into visual metaphors, according to her website, kathleencrocetti.com.
The Homeless Services Center murals were a bit different from many of her past projects, inviting every student in the school, not just Crocetti's art students, to participate. Teachers used the effort to teach empathy and about giving back to the community, she said.
"Of the nine public murals that I've done, this is probably the most rewarding, because every time I'm out here, the clients who are really going to be using it every day are thanking us," Crocetti said.
An ice cream social drawing together the students and the center's clients helped cement relations.
"There was just mingling and talking and my students got to know that these are just regular people, too. Just a little bit down on their luck," Crocetti said. "There's a lot of pride and excitement in participating in this one. They're feeling like they're giving back to the community in a big way, like it's making a big difference in people's lives."

The Essential Home-Ground Flour Book
Learn Complete Milling and Baking Techniques
Includes 100 Delicious Recipes
by Sue Becker
Trade Paperback, 288 pages
Yes. Yes I do. Mill my own flour, that is. When I was getting really into baking my own bread I made the leap to milling my own flour. It is incredible how different the taste is from store-bought.
I find store-bought whole wheat flour to be bitter and plain. Just ugh. I would add honey to the recipe to mask the taste a bit. Perk it up.
But with home milled whole wheat tastes like honey all by itself.
One of the reasons is that whole wheat flour at the grocery store is basically stripped white flour with the minimum of denatured germ and bran added back. Yum. Shelf stability at the cost of flavour and nutrition.
And that is just one type of flour!
Pick this book up and you will have a whole range of flour ideas and recipes.
The instructions are clear and concise to give anyone the confidence to be a home miller.
Happy milling!
From the Back Flap:
The many benefits of home flour milling include taste and flavor and the appeal of making a healthy food that tastes good and is seriously nutritious. Home ground flour milling can also save countless dollars just in the cost of bread alone, especially for those with special dietary needs and restrictions, and improved health leads to reduced medical costs.
This comprehensive how-to details the whole process behind home flour milling with features such as:
The history of whole grains and grain anatomy
Benefits of commercially milled flour vs home milled flour
Tools and equipment for home flour milling
Baking basics including mixing methods and techniques -- the importance of gluten and moisture
Going with the grains -- a thorough description of grains such as barley, rye, kamut and buckwheat
Nut flours such as almond
Baking with freshly milled grains.
There are also 100 recipes for tasty quick breads, rolls and buns, muffins, pancakes, coffee cakes, biscuit and scones, cookies, brownies and pastries, plus others that are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.
The Home Ground Flour Book is ideal for anyone who wants to create their own flours.

Frank Lautenberg funeral: Eulogies recall 'a man for his time'
Source: The Star-Ledger
As hundreds mourn Frank Lautenberg at his funeral service in New York this morning, the first to eulogize the veteran politician was Robert Menendez, his fellow Democratic U.S. senator from New Jersey.
Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, dozens of other politicians and Lautenberg's wife, Bonnie, children and grandchildren are in attendance at a Manhattan synagogue to honor the late 89-year-old Democrat.
A Paterson native who rose from the city streets to represent New Jersey in Washington for nearly three decades, Lautenberg died on Monday of complications from pneumonia.
Menendez, the first of several high-profile leaders scheduled to give eulogies, recalled Lautenberg as "one of the most tenacious men I've ever met," with a "deep and abiding belief in always holding on and fighting on."
Read more: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/06/frank_lautenberg_funeral_eulog.html
follow-up Star Ledger story: "U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg gets one last ride at the Secaucus station that bears his name":
In the train station that bears his name, the senator known for his advocacy of all things rail was given a dramatic New Jersey sendoff today at the Frank R. Lautenberg Rail Station at Secaucus Junction, on his way to his final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery.
When i first heard about Lautenberg's funeral being in NEW YORK CITY, my first reaction was: "Why New York and not New Jersey?" Was there no synagogue in Bergen County big enough to accommodate every attendee?
In 2010, the West Virginia funeral of Robert Byrd took place in capital city Charleston even though Byrd originally lived nearly 60 miles away in Sophia (near Beckley). I think funerals of state officials like Byrd and Lautenberg preferably take place in major cities rather than the officials' hometowns?

3. It was the synagogue that his wife belonged to
From the article:
"The casket bearing Lautenberg's body arrived at the Park Avenue Synagogue, to which his wife belongs, at 9:09 a.m., on a cool, crisp Manhattan morning. Family and friends began arriving within the hour, and a steady stream of mourners flowed into the house of worship within the hour."

Dear Friends,
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers as we have settled back into life in the US. We've been getting used to lots of new things here--school lessons in English for the kids, driving on the "wrong" side of the road, stopping at the "Dairy Depot" for chocolate malts (you can't find those in Japan!), and best of all, reuniting with family and friends.
We have been back now for about two months and we wanted to share what a blessing so many of you have been to us. After about three weeks of setting up house, getting required medical exams, registering the kids for school, and preparing for deputation, we began visiting churches. So far, we've shared formally with 9 different churches and have met together with lots of pastors, missions advocates, and church members informally, as well.
But I wanted to briefly share with you all something that happened recently which was a real encouragement to me. As many of you know, just before I became an ABC pastor, I attended a school in Prague, Czech Republic called IBTS--the International Baptist Theological Seminary. Many of you may know that IBTS had been jointly supported by American Baptists and Southern Baptists for many years (first as the Baptist Seminary at Ruschlicon, Switzerland, then after it moved to Prague, as IBTS).
While we were in Prague, Kari and I met many wonderful Southern Baptist missionaries and friends, some of whom we still communicate with today. We've always thought it was a shame that like-minded American Baptists and Southern Baptists didn't work more closely with one another...
Well, recently, Kari and I went to a SBC congregation in my hometown of Wilmington, OH and shared some of what God was doing through the chaplaincy at Kanto Gakuin in Japan. This congregation--not even related to the ABC/USA--presented us with a check for $700! That money is going toward the $15,000 it will cost to purchase of a van that we can use when we return to Yokohama in 2006.
We just wanted to share that with all of you. It was a blessing for us to be so richly impressed once again with the fact that all of us Christians, our minor differences notwithstanding, are called to be the one body of Christ. There's an amazing amount of diversity among Christian people. But there's also an amazing unity, wrought when we keep our priorities straight, and yield to the Spirit of God. We want to encourage all of you to do everything in your power to celebrate that unity in your own churches and communities, too!
Please let us know how we can serve you this year as we're back on home assignment. And if (over and above your normal giving, of course!) you or your church would also like to make a special contribution toward the costs of the van we'll be needing in 2006, please drop me and e-mail and I'll explain to you how that's possible. . .
Grace and Peace,
Dwight & Kari Davidson
Adam, Sarah, and Isaiah

Chowder Fries
Crispy french fries are covered with thick and creamy clam chowder. This is one hearty dish that will keep you warm this winter.
Chowder fries, where have you been all my life? I can't believe I've never eaten this dish before, but now that I have, I can't get enough of it. I had it for the first time recently at Slapfish and immediately wanted to make my own version.
For my homemade fries, I actually made them with my new Rosewill RHAF-15001 oil-less low fat air fryer, which I received complimentary for review. I've been looking into buying an oil-less air fryer, as a less greasy and healthier alternative to traditional frying. The air fryer uses rapid hot air circulation to evenly heat up and cook the food. Rosewill's previous air fryer models have received really positive reviews, which is why I was so eager to try this new model.
The small fryer doesn't take up much space and the touch screen is super easy to use. Set the temperature, the time, and off it goes. The basket is non-stick too so you don't need to prepare it in any way. I plugged it into the nearest open outlet in my kitchen and then left it alone until the timer went off.
I tested it with both fresh homemade fries and with previously fried and frozen hash brown patties. The previously frozen patties came out wonderfully. The texture was just like when I usually re-fry them or put them in the oven, except it took half the amount of time and they were far less greasy.
The 2.5 quart capacity was plenty for making a large batch of homemade fries. The homemade fries came out crispy, and as recommended, I had to add some oil to the fresh potatoes (about 1 tbsp). Mine look slightly uneven in color because not all of my fries were of the same thickness. They didn't quite taste the same as deep fried fries. I'd say they tasted something in between oven fries and regular fried fries. But I did enjoy this healthier version of french fries, and they cooked quicker than they would in the oven. So far I'm pretty happy with this little oil-less fryer and I plan doing a lot more cooking with it this winter. If you own an oil-less fryer, let me know what your favorite foods to cook in it are! You can learn more about Rosewill's products here.
Chowder Fries
- 4 large Russet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- 1 can thick-style clam chowder
1. Slice potatoes into matchsticks about 1/4 inch thick. Dry potato sticks thoroughly with paper towels. Place potatoes into a bowl and drizzle oil across. Toss potatoes so they are evenly coated in the oil.
2. Add potatoes to your oil-less fryer. Make sure you do not go over the max line. If you do, split into two batches.
3. Cook according to manufacturer's suggestions. For my fryer, it was recommended a setting of 360F for 25 minutes. Remove potatoes when done. If they haven't crisped to your liking, you can always add a few more minutes.
4. Season potatoes with salt. Place fries onto a large plate or bowl. Pour hot clam chowder on top. Eat immediately.

A high-performance version of Intel's future Broadwell chip will squeeze in 18 cores — Intel's highest core count to date — according to a report. Meanwhile, another report points to future Broadwell chips that could populate tablets.
Vr-zone reported this week that a future 18-core Broadwell-EP or EX Xeon chip is planned that is based on Intel's upcoming 14-nanometer production process.
"Intel will not…speed up the cores, but simply pile up more of them on each [chip] die," said Vr-zone, which published a slide showing a purported Intel roadmap.
That multi-core chip wouldn't arrive until 2015, according to Vr-zone.
Intel is also planning 8- to 10-core high-performance desktop and workstation processors, Vr-zone said.
The first Broadwell silicon is expected in the first half of next year. Broadwell follows the current Haswell generation of processors. Intel core counts now top out at 12.
More processor cores can offer better performance if the software can take advantage of the extra cores.
And that's not all Intel has planned for Broadwell. CPU World is reporting that at the other end of processor spectrum, future power-sipping Broadwell chips could have thermal envelopes as low as 4.5 watts.
That would make Broadwell an easy fit for tablets and 2-in-1s — a market that Intel is paying a lot of attention to these days.
