DailyDirt: Raw Eggs Are Healthy..?
from the urls-we-dig-up deptMaybe you like Caesar salads or the supposed health benefits of drinking raw eggs (a la Rocky Balboa), and you already know about the risks of Salmonella. Well, there's some good news for you: you might be able to get some pasteurized eggs that are virtually indistinguishable from conventional raw eggs. While previous pasteurization methods made eggs a bit thicker in texture, food scientists have been working on fixing that. Here are just a few links on eating raw eggs, if that's your thing.
- About one out of every 20,000 chicken eggs commercially produced in the US is at risk for spreading Salmonella. Fortunately, a new radio-frequency (RF) heating technique could be used to pasteurize eggs more quickly without affecting the taste or texture. [url]
- Not surprisingly, the CDC recommends that eggs be kept refrigerated and cooked fully before eating. Erring on the side of caution, no one should eat raw or undercooked eggs -- unless the eggs have been gone through a pasteurization process. [url]
- If you love raw eggs, you can test your luck and immune system -- and hope that egg industry standards for cleaning eggs have sufficiently improved to reduce the risks of contracting Salmonella. Plenty of people consume raw eggs and are fine, but thousands of Americans are sickened from egg-borne Salmonella each year. [url]

Using the sun's energy in novel ways
March 11, 2006
KALAMAZOO--One of the National Science Foundation's most prestigious award programs will fund five years of research by a young Western Michigan University chemist who is doing pioneering work in the field of nanotechnology.
Dr. Sherine Obare, assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded $509,972 to conduct research on nanoscale materials and use this research to develop real-world experiments that will excite elementary and secondary students about science.
The award was made through the NSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program, known as the CAREER Program. CAREER grants recognize and support the early career work of teacher-scholars who are expected to become the academic leaders of the 21st century. They number among NSF's most important and competitive grants and are based on faculty proposals for creative career development plans that effectively integrate research and education.
"Dr. Obare's CAREER proposal received an 'Excellent' grade from three reviewers and the review panel. In other words, the reviewers and the panel unanimously gave her the highest grade possible," says Dr. Subra Muralidharan, professor of chemistry and director of WMU's Nanotechnology Research and Computation Center. "This is quite an achievement. It's very difficult to have different scientists come to a unanimous positive decision. To have this happen on Dr. Obare's first try is simply outstanding."
Obare's project, "Rationally Assembled Nanoparticles for Multi-Electron Transfer Processes," seeks to create nanoscale materials that trap and store the sun's energy and use that energy to carry out chemical reactions for specialized purposes, including breaking down pollutants in groundwater and generating hydrogen for use as an alternative fuel. She is focusing on nanomaterials--materials organized atom by atom or molecule by molecule--because they are have unique properties that can be manipulated and exploited for important applications such as those.
The project is inspired by how nature is able to use intricate pathways to carry out important reactions, Obare says, noting as an example that plants use sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. But what makes her research novel is that she is using nanomaterials to store the energy as electrons, and then initiate chemical reactions even when sunlight is not present.
Obare is working with a 10-person research team composed of one postdoctoral fellow, three graduate students and five undergraduate students from WMU, plus one undergraduate from Kalamazoo Valley Community College who is participating through a National Institutes of Health Bridges to the Baccalaureate program, aimed at helping the United States develop more scientists.
The research team, which has been working on the project for about six months, will spend the first year of the CAREER grant studying the theory behind how different configurations of metal and semiconductor nanomaterials that they already have created affect chemical reactions.
"We've made a lot of progress on making materials and assembling them, and now we're testing their ability to harvest and store energy in the form of multiple electrons," Obare says. "We need to understand the choreography of multiple electron transfer and how the nature of the metals and semiconductors, and their arrangement, will impact electron transfer dynamics."
In the second and third years of the project, team members will use what they learn about that choreography of electron transfer to pinpoint what governs the chemical reactions that they initiate. In the project's final two years, they will look for practical applications for their materials, conducting tests to see which ones hold the most promise for being developed into new technologies.
"At the end of the grant, we're expecting that the new science coming out of this project will open up a new field for us to continue working on; a field that will make an economic difference here in Michigan," Obare says. "Nanotechnology integrates several scientific disciplines--biology, physics, chemistry and engineering. So by training students through nanotechnology, we're building new scientists as well as new materials with new properties. It will be interesting to see what people trained in nanotechnology come up with."
Because nanotechnology requires an understanding of so many disciplines, Obare says introducing students to the field through laboratory work is essential, as is getting more students interested in science at an earlier age.
In addition to helping train the students on her research team, Obare is working with WMU's Mallinson Institute for Science Education to use the results of her research to explain basic nanoscale science concepts to the general public, especially elementary and middle school teachers.
"I'm interested in integrating my research with education. As a scientist, I want to encourage younger kids to go into science," she says. "One of the reasons students aren't interested in science is because they think it's too difficult or too boring. You have to get them excited at an early age."
Initially, Obare and her research team will develop intriguing experiments that address real-life problems and demonstrate these experiments in area classrooms. Then the researchers will work with teachers, educating them about nanotechnology and designing experiments that will be incorporated into their schools' science curricula.
"Nanoscale science is currently spearheading the next industrial revolution. In order to keep the United States competitive, we must educate elementary and middle school students in this new science," Obare says. "Teachers play an important role in training the next generation of scientists. They know what they need and they can take our experiments and see what develops."
But Obare is not stopping there either. She plans to develop outreach activities that will broaden understanding of nanoscale science and science in general among diverse groups and the general public through formal as well as informal education.
"Nanoscale science has technological, economical, environmental, societal and ethical implications," she notes. "Increased understanding and appreciation of the potential of nanoscale science is needed to create a competitive workforce."
A key member of WMU's Nanotechnology Research and Computation Center, Obare came to the university in 2004. She teaches inorganic and analytical chemistry courses and conducts research in the areas of inorganic materials chemistry, nanoscale materials fabrication, chemical and biological sensors, and mechanisms by multiple electron transfer.
Obare earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from West Virginia State University in 1998 and a doctoral degree in inorganic/analytical chemistry from the University of South Carolina in 2002. She subsequently spent two years at the Johns Hopkins University as a Camille and Henry Dreyfus postdoctoral fellow doing research in environmental chemistry.

Rana Kapoor, MD & CEO, YES BANK - "RBI's unanimously delivered 25bps hike has been balanced with a neutral stance, reinforcing MPC's alacrity to retain inflation within its 4.0% target amidst hitherto buildup in price pressures led by crude prices. The rate action comes at a time when economic recovery now appears to be on a firmer footing. This stance allows RBI the choice to act in accordance with evolving macro and financial conditions, in both global and domestic economy in the coming months. Amidst many moving parts, this will entail a careful balancing of global headwinds from elevated crude prices, geopolitical tensions, and domestic policies of MSPs, state pay commissions on growth-inflation dynamics." #RBIPolicy

If you are a planet dweller who just acquired a ship then you belong to the faction of the colony which you originated from. If this isn't possible then you acquire the faction of the IFF system the ship is built with. If the ship doesn't have an IFF then the first people who think they can take advantage of you are considered hostile, and based on that information faction standings for other groups can be derived. (I think it should be almost impossible to be a nobody without some very good tech and a government contract. Assassins anyone?)Cornflakes_91 wrote:BFett wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2017 11:21 amA player is "born" into a faction when they start the game. Otherwise the player is on uneven ground with other NPCs.
Basically, I assume that all NPCs and the player start from somewhere which has some history with respect to the region they start in. I suppose the only way the player could have absolutely no allegiance would be if the player was an outlaw who just escaped from prison and who has lost contact with any allies in the area. It's possible to be neutral towards other NPCs but it is nearly impossible to be faction-less.
Do you have a counter example in mind?Cornflakes_91 wrote: Like, for example, being a random planet dweller who just aquired a ship by any means?
The locals prolly wont have anything against you, but you are no member of their organisations either.
Think of it as leaving a job, the player loses work related equipment and security privileges but maintains contacts and work experience. The money earned doing activities (in LT) can be used for purchasing assets, and other things which are owned by the player (or executive NPC).Cornflakes_91 wrote: Also, when you say that the player is "part" of a faction, how would that work? How does the player get to own his own stuff?
The one ship is either paid in full (if it was loaned), sold, or just kept if the player owns the ship from the beginning. I think it should be VERY clear what assets are loaned and which are owned by the player. It could be something as simple as a tag stating "this item owned by employer". All items owned by the employer are returned on resignation from the particular faction (or kept if that's how the contract is set up). Of course the player would have the option to steal the assets, which would likely end in disaster.Cornflakes_91 wrote:How does he get out of the faction without losing ownership of the one ship or making enemies by stealing?
The player gets to make his own research when he acquires a research module equipped to a station or a ship. Then the player just has to choose the area of research to start in and the game takes care of the rest.Cornflakes_91 wrote:How does the player get to make his own research?
Through scanning of minerals and materials; reverse engineering assembly chips, items, components and materials and finally purchasing or stealing blueprints.Cornflakes_91 wrote:How does the player aquire the data to get to approximate research parity if he gets to be independent at some point?
The game plays as you'd expect it to for the most part. The faction you belong to determines default IFF settings for legally sold ships among other quality of life things. You own your own assets, earn money from your sub-faction (assuming you've made one) and the assets within it. Executive NPCs which work for you may resign from working for you and start up their own enterprise using the money they've earned. You don't have to fear being a drone since disobeying orders is more likely to get you fired from your job than blown out of the air. Granted, this depends on your starting faction and ethics.Cornflakes_91 wrote:How is everything else handled when you are part of that faction? Do you have your own assets? Do you have money? Do you have to be a drone just following orders or be shot down?
and so on.
If we think of large factions as governments and smaller sub-factions under those as businesses there really isn't a limit to what you can do. If you want to join pirates go right ahead. Want to make your own assassin squad? Sure, go for it. Nothing I've outlined is set in such a way as to prevent the sandbox from being fully explored. Instead, I'm setting the groundwork for what would hopefully become interesting faction based interactions which develop naturally over time.Cornflakes_91 wrote:Last but not least: what kind of idea is it in such a freedom based game like LT to start the player out as bound to some entity he didnt chose which actively limits the player freedom?

Friday evenings, at the start of the BIFHSGO conference's opening ceremonies, they have someone from the LAC give a talk about what is going on at the facility (followed by the guest speaker for the Don Whiteside Memorial Lecture).
For the past two years, it has been Doug Rimmer, LAC Assistant Deputy Minister (Programs & Services). This time, he gave us a rundown of the programs which are underway at the Library and Archives Canada.
He stated that the LAC is considered the world leader in digitization. Although some may disagree with that statement (newspapers aren't being done, for example), he pointed out that many things have been, and continue to be, digitized.
Coming soon, for example, is the digitization-on-demand of the Canadian Expeditionary Force Papers <www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-909.006-e.html>.
You will be able to order the papers (for which a file can have up to 25 pieces of paper, such as pay slips, history of injuries, and discharge papers), have them digitized, and then they will be put into the general digitized papers file and made available to everyone.
It will take some time to do all 600,000 files - but they will be done.
He went over some of the physical changes that have been made to the LAC building. For example, you can apply online for a research pass, there is improved signage which makes the facility more user-friendly, and you can now order material online.
Furthermore, you can now take your digital camera and photograph documents directly from the microfilm, or you can download the images to a CD-ROM or USB key (also known as a jump, or thumb, drive) at no cost.
On Friday afternoon, I was up on the third floor, hoping to download pages of The Maple Leaf newspaper (1907-1941)*, and found out that I couldn't (assuming it was because of copyright issues).
So a word to the wise - always check before you go there. In this case, the pages (because they were less than one hundred years old) cost 20 cents a copy! Anything else older than that was free to download.
The Maple Leaf newspaper kept Canadian ex-patriots in California informed about the news back home in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
* I was researching my great-aunt Annie Louisa Barclay, who married Caleb Scott Haley in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and then settled in Newark, Alameda County, California.

Did you notice Library & Archives Canada has 'French Canadian Newspapers - An Essential Historical Source - 1808 1919' up
I won't complain too loudly as I will use these, but, when, oh when, will we see English, Swedish, Ukrainian...etc. newspapers on-line for free from LAC?

Jacksonville, Ala. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team extended its win streak to four games with a 66-57 comeback win over Jacksonville State on Saturday.
The victory pushes the Tigers' record to 9-7 overall and they lead the OVC's East Division with a perfect 3-0 mark.
It is the first time since the 1994-95 season that the Tigers started 3-0 in OVC play. TSU is also 13-2 in its last 15 conference games.
For the second game in a row, M.J. Rhett came up big for the Tigers, scoring ten points and grabbing a career-high 16 boards.
Patrick Miller led TSU in scoring for the third game in a row with 19 points on 3-of-9 shooting. Miller was also 12-of-16 from the line and tallied a game-high four assists.
Kellen Thornton and Jordan Cyphers also finished in double-figures in points with 14 and 11, respectively. Thornton also had a double-double with 14 boards.
Tennessee State came out of the gate strong, winning the tip and starting on an 8-0 run. Rhett had four points during the charge including a powerful two-handed alley-oop that added an exclamation mark to the end of the streak.
Jordan Cyphers provided the assist on Rhett's slam and then found Thornton on another lob at the 11:50 mark to give TSU a 14-8 advantage.
Thornton had a team-high eight points on four-of-seven shooting (57 percent) and seven boards at the break.
The Tigers clung to their lead for much of the first half until a 10-0 JSU run made the score 24-20 in favor of the Gamecocks. Jacksonville State ended the run by Darion Rackley converting a rare four-point play with just over three minutes to play in the opening stanza.
Cyphers narrowly missed a half-court heave as the first half horn expired, and TSU went into halftime trailing the Gamecocks 24-26.
All of TSU's nine first half field goals occurred inside the paint, allowing the Tigers an 18-8 advantage down low and a ten percent higher shooting percentage (38 to 28).
Tennessee State hit its first outside jump shot five minutes into the second half when Tashan Fredrick canned a three to tie the game at 34 apiece.
The score remained close for the better part of the half, but TSU eventually went up by five when Cyphers converted a layup with11:58 left in the game.
From there, JSU wound up putting TSU in the double bonus with more than eight minutes left in the game. The Tigers responded by nailing 10 free throws, which were the team's only points during the seven-minute stretch.
Thornton finally broke the charity stripe streak by slamming home a dunk with just over two minutes left in the game. His slam put the Tigers ahead for good at 60-53.
Thornton added another slam at the 24 second mark and TSU rallied to defeat the Gamecocks 66-57.
TSU held the Gamecocks to 17-of-52 shooting for just a 32.7 percent line. The Tigers also dominated JSU on the glass, winning the battle 47-28.
TSU will next come home to play UT Martin on Thursday, Jan. 10. The Tigers tip-off at 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcasted on the OVC Digital Network.

Drop a pack of Mentos in a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke and you get yourself a nice soda geyser. It's fun! It's also pretty wasteful! With this kit you can at least tell yourself you're using Mentos' magical properties to propel a little plastic car up to 200 feet.
The kit come with a car that can accomodate a standard 2 liter soda bottle as well as a handy cylinder for sliding the sustainable fuel pellets (Mentos) cleanly into the sugary fuel tank. Chemistry takes care of the rest: the car zips along at a pretty impressive clip up to a distance of 200 feet. It'll be available to all aspiring cool science teachers later this year.

The McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific hosted its fifth annual Immigration Fair on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013. Volunteers assisted more than 131 applicants with Deferred Action for Early Childhood Arrivals, Naturalization applications and requests for fee waivers.
The focus of this year's fair was both on helping young people apply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and on citizenship through naturalization. More than 90 volunteers helped at the free event.
Blake Nordahl, the supervising attorney in the McGeorge Immigration Law Clinic, and Professor Raquel Aldana were key organizers.
Trained law students prescreened more than 50 applicants for DACA during September and October at events held at the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services' Oak Park campus and on the McGeorge campus on Sept. 24, Oct. 10 and Oct. 25. At the Immigration Fair, trained law students, recent graduates with immigration law expertise and faculty helped these young applicants complete the process by reviewing the forms and the supporting documentation that must accompany the application. Volunteer immigration attorneys, including McGeorge faculty and members of the Association of Immigration Lawyers of Northern California, conducted a final review of the completed application at no cost to the applicants.
In addition, free legal services were provided by law students and Sacramento attorneys to assist qualified individuals with completing and filing naturalization or citizenship applications (N-400 and N-600) and assistance with fee waiver applications to apply for naturalization. Study materials for Civics and English tests were also provided.
McGeorge partnered with the Mexican Consulate, the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), Opening Doors, the Association of Immigration Lawyers of Northern California, Univision and UniMás to bring this critical service to the Sacramento community.
"I am so thankful to the many in our community who made the fifth annual Immigration Fair happen," said Aldana. "We all celebrate the huge accomplishment of helping people with an important service."

Never would have known about this so this was very fun to get to hear about, see, etc. Want to go back and see the Petroglyphs with me? Love petrogylphs, could spend uncounted hours with those...have to see them at different lights during the day you know, etc. Nexttime.
You give me wanderlust. Just the idea of hikes through moonscapes thrills me. The photos look magical. One of our best vacations in the USA was the sparse, desert landscapes of Moab.
This sounds like a fabulous place to visit, with or without the great hotel.
It must have been exciting to explore such a different environment. It can almost look, at times, like another planet.
Wow! What a beautiful place to visit! Sounds like you all had a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you had a fantastic trip, what an exciting adventure. Looks beautiful!
You take the most fascinating, adventurous trips, Beth. I do love hearing about them. What a lovely place to stay, too! I've traveled a lot, but rarely to such interesting place
Looks amazing! I need to come with you next time.
What an adventure! I bet it is a photographer's dream there as well. Lovely.
I have to admit, any place with the word "desert" in it isn't really on my list of places I'd like to visit, but you make it sound so wonderful! You almost tempt me. ;)
How strangely beautiful the scenery is. I know so little about South American countries - it's quite a treat to get travel information and pics like these.
How beautiful is that terrace ?!
Ironically, in some far-off lands, having a hotel with a good meal service is really not the worst thing. Especially since it's SUCH an easy way to learn more about local favorites.
What a gorgeous place! Sounds like you crammed a lot into a short time. The moonscape sounds particularly interesting!
What a fantastic trip! Great memories that will stay with you.Sounds like a peaceful place.
How beautiful! I have just added another destination to my bucket list! Thanks for sharing, sweet friend. I hope you have a great Friday. I need a long and relaxing weekend, and I'm sure you do too!
When I think of traveling to Chile...I am thinking of discovering wine country. My mind is small because Chile obviously has a lot more to offer.
I love to travel. Take every opportunity to do so, and posts like this give me the travel bug itch.
Have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing this travel adventure with us.
What an adventure! I love to hike, so that is my kind of vacation. The desert is so beautiful, in a way very different from what I am accustomed to.
I agree, what a wonderfully exciting adventure, am v. envious of this trip (as I am with all of your travels but this one really resonated with me).
Amazing to learn about this destination, it must have been a terrific trip!
That desert hike looks like one I would really enjoy! Beautiful.
Although I've travelled quite a bit, I admit to not having heard of this place...how interesting it seems.
Thanks for adding such excitement from your life ;o)
Ciao for now,
Oh, wow. I've always wanted to visit Chile, and that was before I'd heard of Atacama. I'll have to wave this under Husband's nose, it'd be right up his alley!
Es una maravilla el desierto chileno mi querida Bet un viaje soñado verdad??Chile tiene mucho que ofrecer y la invito a conocer mi otro blog que trata de fotos de Chile .Yo quisiera leer tus libros infantiles porque soy educadora de niños pequeños,abrazos hugs,hugs.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 14 years to a man who had two failed marriages. I never felt insecure in my married life until I read his answers to a Yahoo Answers poll that asked, "Do you dream about the one that got away?" and, "Have you found the love of your life?"
My husband responded that he thinks about her very often, especially on her birthday and Valentine's Day. To the other question he replied he had found the love of his life, but the relationship had ended in divorce, which he admitted was his fault.
I know he was talking about his first wife. I feel so sad and insecure. Now I must deal with the fact that on Valentine's Day his thoughts are with someone else. How can I get over this? I no longer believe him when he says he loves me because I have proof that he hasn't moved on yet. I can't believe he said that even now he still thinks about her. Please help. -- SAD HEART IN SAN JOSE
DEAR SAD HEART: Your husband posted those thoughts on a public forum? Rather than feel hurt and insecure, you should be furious. How would he feel if the person answering that poll had been you? (Of course, you would have had better judgment.)
By now it should be clear to you that you did not marry a rocket scientist. You have my sympathy because his first marriage has been over for nearly two decades and he -- along with his obvious shortcomings -- are no longer her problem, but yours. However, your pain may lessen if you look at the bright side: He treats you well 363 days a year, and many of the women who write to me are not so lucky.
DEAR ABBY: I have been involved with a man in a long-distance relationship for two years. I care about him very much and I believe he cares for me.
Things were going great until he was devastated by a downturn in his business. He had planned to move here, but was unable to sell his home. We used to see each other every two weeks, but no longer. It has been almost two months. He calls once a week, but nothing else.
We have been close and he has shared his life, his worries and personal information with me. I haven't pressured him and I don't need a commitment now, although I would like one someday.
Abby, he seems to be drifting away. Is it OK to write to him, email him, send encouraging notes once a week and continue to support him? Is it too much to ask for more frequent communication from him? I have offered to travel the 1,000 miles, but he has evaded my offer. I'm not ready to walk away. We have been great together and this is difficult for me. Advice? -- HOLDING ON IN COASTAL CALIFORNIA
DEAR HOLDING ON: It's fine to be supportive, but don't overwhelm him right now. You may have to let this play out in its own time. Your friend may have retreated because he's concentrating his energy on reviving his business. He may be licking his wounds or he may have met someone, which is why he discouraged your visit. That he still calls you is encouraging.
Because you have known him for two years, I recommend you simply ask him if he's met someone else. If the answer is no, it will put your mind at ease. But if the answer is yes, at least you'll be clear about what happened.Read more in: Love & Dating

RJ Mitte, known to legions of television fans as Walter White Jr. from "Breaking Bad," now wants to break barriers he feels are unfairly keeping disabled actors off the small screen.
Mitte, who has cerebral palsy, gave fans of the show a first hand look at what it was like for a person with that disability. But he says too often those roles go either unrepresented or portrayed by able-bodied actors.
"I wouldn't be in the position I am in today without my disability. I utilized everything I know about living with cerebral palsy for my role in 'Breaking Bad,'" Mitte told The Irish Examiner.
U.S. & World
An analysis released in July found 95 percent of characters with disabilities on top 10 television shows were played by able-bodied actors, according to a study released by Ruderman White Paper.
The study on employment of actors with disabilities in television reveals the "unjust and troubling discrimination of actors with disabilities in Hollywood," the report noted.
"It was my acting ability that landed me the role, although my disability helped get me the part of Walt Junior – like everyone else I went through a grueling audition process," he said.
Mitte, 24, is co-hosting NBC's Rio 2016 Paralympics, and says he hopes increased visibility will inspire a tidal shift in the way disabilities are portrayed through the media and in Hollywood.
"I'm really looking forward to co-presenting the Paralympics, and I truly hope Rio 2016 will open further opportunities for other disabled actors in TV," he said.

I have had this phone for almost a year and It Rocks. I have not ANY problems with it, I have dropped it, kicked it. No problems downloading tones or ringback tones. Good clear hearing capability. I have nothing negative to say about this phone, it is Verizon. Poor Game quality is the only neg I have to say. This is the longest phone I have had. My husband ran his over and it still works just cant use the camera now.

a little big
I Have had many cell phones and several prepaid phones, Virgin Mobile by far is the best prepaid carrier i have ever used because the service is cheap and the phones are really cheap. Many of my friends have Virgin Mobile and some of their phones were crap until one of my friends let me try their snapper. I was impressed it was cool looking it had a good camera and it looked tough that is why i bought it. You can get it at radio shack for $89.99 it is a great Value.
-Tough look
-Plays ringtones well
-OK Camera
-Virgin Mobile
-Holds Charge
-Has Sparkles
-Could be smaller
If you are looking for a good Camera phone from Virgin Mobile I reccomend this because it is cool, cheap, and it is one of the best Virgin Mobile Phone I have ever seen.
Like it
I have had over 6 phones and I am only 16. I have gone through verizon which totally sucked, tracfone which was better than that. And virgin mobile which is the best by far. the color is wonderful. The sound clear, everything about it is wonderful. Sometimes the camera does get a little crappy if you get way too close but otherwise its a good phone and its cute. The service is wonderful and the sugar mama deal is a really nice way to get free minutes!
WOW its nice
well when i got this phone for christmas of 05 it was like beauty in a box.. then when i actually got to mess with it and i got it activated i loved it and now to this day i love it... it is perfect for me and it fits everything i like....
and the ringtones are great too.. they sound crystal clear and they are real too... well for me it took a while to find the whole song.. but it worked.. i love this phone... i really dont want to get rid od it.. its perfect..
and i like how u can actually change the cver plate... and i can change the antenna.. so i have a faceplate and a lighting antenna
Verizon Quandry
First, I must say the phone itself is not bad, my son dropped it once (he's little so it didn't go far) and it still seemed to hold up well, although I'm sure it wouldn't have stood up to much more, just the nature of cel phones in general. I can take relatively decent pics with it, as far pics on a phone go.
What I must tell everyone about is that I somehow got a hold of this phone from a Verizon dealer. With Verizon, all the fancy extras may or may not work (text messaging, pix messaging, "Get It Now" (getting games and new ringtones, etc.)). Especially I cannot get any new ringtones for this phone. Also, I cannot get a straight answer from Verizon on whether or not the salesperson was supposed to have sold me this phone. So, if you're at a Verizon store and they try to sell you this phone, please look into whether or not all the features work BEFORE you leave the store.
Virgin Mobile version disappointing
Despite an unhappy experience with a misfeature of a previous Audiovox phone, I bought the Virgin Mobile Snapper. I figured they couldn't be that stupid twice. But they were.
First, let me mention the generic stuff: As usual, Virgin Mobile's choice of graphics are silly and overly cluttered. The menus could be a bit easier to navigate (just cleaning up the graphics would help with that).
I've only taken a few sample pictures: they were better than I expected, so I'll give it a plus there. The web browsing is slow (which I expect from a phone), but does a respectable job of handling normal web pages on the tiny screen (better than some PDAs that I've used). I can't access my office's webmail site with it though: it gives a mysterious "forbidden" error that we can't correlate to anything in the web server's log, so perhaps this phone has a problem with some web content (maybe it can't do https?).
Now for the misfeature: Whenever it loses signal, it beeps (four quick beeps). You can't turn off this feature, nor adjust its volume. You can put the phone in silent (vibrate) mode to silence it, but that's the only way to get the idiot thing to shut up if you are in a weak signal area (like an elevator, inside a large building, at my house...). The vibrator isn't strong enough for me to reliably feel it when I'm walking, so I tend to use the audible ringtone, but then the fade alert drives me crazy.
If I was never in a weak signal area, I'd give this phone a rating of "4", but I'm not, so it gets a "2". Such a stupid design decision is really hard to fathom.
I hope I can return this phone...

Find Architecture And Version Of A Linux Box
When doing an audit of an existing Linux server a good first step is to find out what distribution is running and if the server is running a 32 or 64 bit architecture.
To find out what architecture a server is running you can run the uname command, which will print out certain system information. This must be supplied with the -a flag in order to print out as much information as possible.
uname -a
This will print out a line similar to the following on an Ubuntu system.

You can see how this might happen, given everything. Robert Griffin III was on The Tonight Show late last night, and he beatboxed for Jay Leno, because there's nothing RGIII can't do, you see. Washington D.C.'s all-news station had the footage, and they wanted to post it on their website this morning, the earlier the better.
But how best to sum up all that fun with a pithy headline? Not like this, obviously, which is why WTOP has since changed it, though not before someone helpfully captured a screen grab and posted it to Twitter, because that's what Twitter's there for. One of Leno's favorite gags is to do corny send-ups of ironic headlines sent to him by viewers. Consider this our submission.

"I was in his house in Greenwich, Connecticut. Nancy Seaver gave me lunch. This was one of the strangest experiences of my life, and since I did not share it with anyone other than a few people I had never seen before and never saw again, there are even times when I do not feel that it actually happened."
—Dana Brand, "Meeting a Met," Mets Fan
Here was me. And here was Dwight Gooden. We were this close Tuesday night. Closer than Dillon Gee was to the strike zone, though that's not saying much.
My proximity — or Docximity, perhaps — was chance. He was standing at the border of the Mets museum and the main team store. I was wandering in that direction mostly for the hell of it. There's a knot of people. One has his back to me. His form is too familiar to be missed or mistaken…not that it couldn't be, apparently.
"That's Darryl Strawberry," one man tells his wife. "It's Darryl Strawberry." I can see where somebody would make that mistake. One wore 16. One wore 18. That made them hard to tell apart.
But otherwise Dwight Gooden, even deep into retirement from playing baseball, resembles Darryl Strawberry not at all. But did Dwight Gooden look anything like Doc? Could anyone ever look like Doc? There was only one Doc, and he was Doc, really, for a very short time.
I saw Doc at the border of the museum and the store, but only by peering through the slightly chunky man in the red designer t-shirt who shared Dwight Gooden's face and staring a good 26 years into his and my past. Yet I didn't want to do that for too long. It's not polite to stare.
It's also not polite to plop oneself into the middle of a knot of people. The Doc'ening, if you will, wasn't stringently organized (imagine that — but at least the Mets aren't erasing his autograph from walls these days). There was a wavy line on the museum side of Doc. Maybe there was one on the store side. Doc stood patiently and graciously for pictures and autographs. I didn't hear what everybody said to him, though I did catch a "thank you" that was clearly for more than a snapshot.
My instinct was to get nearer, my Doc, to thee. Then I quashed that instinct in favor of a second instinct, one intent on drifting away from the pack that surrounded him. I wanted to wander into the store, though not to shop and not to browse. I wanted a different angle on Doc. I also wanted distance.
That's Doc Gooden. Doc Gooden is Doc Gooden. I don't care that he's older, chunkier, not pitching, not striking out 16, not going 24-4, not on his way to the big Hall of Fame. He's Doc Gooden.
And I'm me. He's Doc.
Do you understand what I'm saying? This wasn't any random former Met, no matter how random this almost-encounter. This was Doc Gooden. I idolized Doc Gooden in a way I only otherwise idolized Tom Seaver. I idolized Seaver when I was kid, when you're supposed to idolize your idol. I idolized Gooden as my contemporary. I'm two years older than Doc Gooden and I looked up to him. Later, as the idolatry wore off, he let me down, he let us down, he let himself down…but he was still Doc and all to me.
As I absorbed the presence of Doc so darn close to me, I considered the imaginary conversation-openers I'd use on him. I wouldn't tell him how much I loved him in 1985, because that would be so pathetic. My best friend Chuck used to kid me in those days that if I was anywhere near Doc, I'd yell or perhaps hold up a sign: "WE LOVE YOU DOC!" No, I was not going to bring that scenario to fruition.
I wouldn't mention all the letting down he did. When did he do that? 1987? 1994? Would I want to be reminded in 2011 of stupid things I did in the 1980s and 1990s? I thought about mentioning Gary Carter, but what purpose would that serve? Like he doesn't know Gary Carter has cancer? "Hey Doc, your old teammate's ill. Sad, huh?" No, don't bring Doc down.
How about our Tampa connection? Doc is from there. I went to school there. I only thought of that because I was wearing my USF t-shirt. Doc didn't go to USF, but he was said to have occasionally shot hoops outside my off-campus dorm. "Hey Doc, we have something in common!" Yes, some ancient geography. And would Doc want to hear "Tampa"? Isn't Tampa where he kept getting into trouble? Would I unwittingly trigger some demon in Doc's soul because I was pretending he and I were down somewhere off Fletcher Avenue?
Oh, and what if Doc and I hit it off? Would I be letting our newfound simpatico get in the way of Doc's well-being? How long before Doc would be asking me, "Hey, Greg, there's something I need, and it wouldn't look good if I went out and got it — maybe you can stop by this address and get it for me?" I can't believe Doc is using me as a drug mule! I can't believe I just assume Doc still requires drugs. I hate myself for thinking that.
I'm standing there and I don't want anything from Doc. I just want to be near him. It seemed impossible to imagine when I was idolizing him. When he and I still had Tampa a little bit in common, a friend told me he'd wrangled a gig as a photographer's assistant for Doc's wedding, too bad I wasn't going to be in town that weekend. I was so envious. Then the wedding got called off. I never heard about the photographer thing again.
I didn't need an autograph from Doc. I have an autograph from Doc. He didn't give it to me directly. A friend I worked with when Doc was in Spring Training with the Mets for the last time had detoured into St. Lucie on his way from or to Miami Beach. There was Doc, signing autographs, posing for pictures. This was the year after 1993, when the Mets got PR religion and made sure their players signed and posed. My friend stumbled into that 1994 knot of goodwill. Got a couple of pictures of Doc signing for his fans. Thrust a piece of Howard Johnson stationery at him and asked him to make it out to Greg, with one "g".
"I know how to spell 'Greg,'" Doc Gooden actually said of my name when I was nowhere near him.
My friend framed the whole thing for me: the pictures, the autograph, the Howard Johnson stationery (so it makes me think HoJo signed it, too). Took care of my Doc autograph needs forever. So I wasn't lining up for that.
And a picture? Me and Doc? That hadn't ever occurred to me. It occurred to Sharon, though. Sharon was who I was going to see at Tuesday's game a little later but we ran into each other just to the right of the Doc knot. Sharon happened to be dressed almost perfectly for the occasion, wearing her No. 16 jersey. Weirdly, GOODEN was spelled PAGAN, but not everybody's as good with names as Doc. Anyway, Sharon's quite the crackerjack photographer (and great friend) so she attempted to break me out of my inertia.
"You want me to take your picture with Doc?"
I wasn't sure. I was back in "what am I doing next to the greatest pitcher I ever saw, no offense, Tom, but nobody was ever as great as Doc in 1985, not even you in 1971" mode. Doc was Doc then. Doc was why we were disappointed later. Doc was why I just stood there Tuesday night and sorted out all the things I wouldn't say to him for when we were never going to speak because I was just standing there, just being shocked that I was experiencing Docximity.
Then again, I thought of what Brennan said to Dale in Step Brothers when Dale asked, "Why do you have Randy Jackson's autograph on a martial arts weapon?"
"'Cause I bumped into him and all I had on me was this samurai sword. And you're not gonna not get Randy Jackson's autograph, right?"
So, OK, I guess I can make myself part of the knot and pose with Doc and…
Too late. The Citi Field security guy (just one) assigned to Doc was leading him away, out of the knot, back into the museum and toward the door to the Rotunda. I think they might have slowed down by Doc's plaque. I'd like to think they did. I'm sure Doc has seen it, but I'd like to think if you're a Mets Hall of Famer, you stop and stare at your plaque every time you're near it.
This was my last chance to act toward Doc. No signature. No photograph. No dialogue. But I knew what I wanted to do.
I was going to applaud. Just straight out applaud. Applaud for back in the day, the good part of the day. Applaud for 24-4, 1.53, 268 K's, the whole bit. For Doc being Doc and nobody else being Doc.
But I didn't. One, I was too self-conscious. Two, I was kind of waiting for somebody else to start applauding (if not the "that's Darryl Strawberry" guy) and was a little surprised and insulted that nobody did. Three, I feared I would be an enabler to whatever foible awaited Doc in an existence sadly filled with them. I've written who knows how many thousands of words on how Dwight Gooden let a career go all to hell and then kept sending his life in the same direction. Yet I still wanted to applaud Doc because he was that great a pitcher for my favorite baseball team a very time long ago. "I can do anything I want," I worried he'd think. "People applaud me just for being me or just for having been me. They'll always overlook my missteps no matter what I do. I'm Doc Gooden."
He didn't say it, but he didn't have to. He knew me all too well.

The Z10 features a 4.2-inch screen with a 1.5 gigahertz dual core processor. It can also accommodate a memory card with a capacity of up to 64 gigabytes.
The phone, which runs on the Blackberry 10 operating system and has an 8 megapixel camera, has come in for mixed reviews.
The Z10's price of nearly 44,000 rupees puts it in direct competition with devices such as the iPhone 5, which retails at 45,500 rupees ($844) for the basic 16-gigabyte version, and the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which sells for 35,600 rupees ($660).
However, recent data appears to suggest that Indian customers aren't too worried about prices when it comes to the very high-end category, as was evident in the iPhone 5's sales.
Canada's Blackberry, previously known as Research in Motion, has steadily lost market share in India to Samsung and Apple.
According to research firm Canalys, Blackberry now has just a 5% share of India's smartphone market, behind Sony, Nokia Corp. and LG.
Samsung remains the leader with a 40% market share--more than the next four put together.
Blackberry's India chief, Sunil Dutt, feels that the Z10's price tag won't matter much and that many existing customers will upgrade.
The company is also counting on the popularity of its Blackberry Messenger platform.
The Z10 supports various Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Devanagiri (Hindi, Marathi and Konkani), Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bengali.

The recent, well-publicized cyberattack on Google was just the latest skirmish in a long war. And like most long wars, this one features an arms race, as hackers seek out new security holes, and web site administrators try to close them.
Systems for detecting attacks against networked computers are commercially available, and academic and industrial researchers are constantly improving them. But when a web site is under attack, its only viable defense may be to take its servers offline, which, in the short term, can cost it money in lost revenue and productivity and, in the long term, could hurt its credibility. Indeed, knocking a site offline may be an attackers' sole intention.
MIT researchers have developed a system to keep web servers -- or, for that matter, any Internet-connected computers -- running even when they're under attack. The work was funded largely by DARPA, and in a pair of tests whose thoroughness is unusual in academia, DARPA hired a group of computer security professionals outside MIT to try to bring down a test network protected by the new system. In both tests, says Martin Rinard, the professor of electrical engineering and computer science who led the research, the system exceeded all the performance criteria that DARPA set for it.
The MIT system was developed by a host of researchers, including not only Rinard but Jeff Perkins, a research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, Postdoctoral Fellow Stelios Sidiroglou-Douskos and Michael Ernst, who has since moved to the University of Washington. During normal operation, it monitors the programs running on an Internet-connected computer to determine their normal range of behavior, and during an attack, it simply refuses to let them wander outside that range.
To take a simple example, suppose that a program running on a web server routinely stores data in one of two memory locations -- call them A and B. During an attack, malicious code tries to trick the program into storing data at location C instead. The MIT system won't let it: instead, it sends the data to either location A or location B.
Of course, the data may not be of a type that belongs at either of those locations. And the system will modify behaviors that could be even more disruptive than data storage. But in sites with large banks of servers, the MIT system gets several chances to find the best response to an attack. If storing at location A causes one server in the bank to crash, the MIT system will tell the other servers to store it at location B, instead.
"The idea is that you've got hundreds of machines out there," Rinard says. "We're saying, 'Okay, fine, you can take out six or 10 of my 200 machines.'" But, he adds, "by observing what happens with the executions of those six or 10 machines, we'll be able to deploy patches out to protect the rest of the machines." The entire process of recognizing an attack, testing a number of countermeasures and deploying the most effective ones can take a matter of seconds.
In the first of DARPA's two field tests, engineers at a computer security firm -- the "Red Team" -- were given the code for the MIT defense system. (In the real world, a company that marketed such a system would make every effort to keep its code secret, but Rinard says that it's standard practice in the security field to consider the worst-case scenario.) The Red Team had several months in which to devise attacks against a hypothetical network protected by the system. During the test itself, no malicious code was allowed to execute on the protected computers, and in 70 percent of cases, the MIT system kept the applications running on those computers from going down. DARPA also set performance goals for the system, such as the amount of extra processing power it required, and the extent to which it altered the applications' normal operation. In all cases, the system was well within DARPA's prescribed limits.
The first red-team exercise considered cases in which hackers tried to infect computers with malicious code, and the MIT researchers presented the results of the test at the Association for Computing Machinery's Symposium on Operating Systems Principles last fall. A second Red Team exercise, testing an updated version of the defense system that the MIT researchers developed together with defense contractor BAE Systems, concluded at the end of January. That test evaluated the system's ability to handle a different kind of attack, which seeks to circumvent security checks that web applications typically perform to ensure that users have permission to access protected information. Although the researchers are still sorting through the data from that test, Sidiroglou-Douskos says that the system's success rate in keeping applications up and running rose from 70 percent to 90 percent.
In a report entitled Automatically Patching Errors In Deployed Software, the Red Team present ClearView, a system for automatically patching errors in deployed software. ClearView works on stripped Windows x86 binaries without any need for source code, debugging information, or other external information, and without human intervention. In the Red Team exercise, ClearView survived attacks that exploit security vulnerabilities. A hostile external Red Team developed 10 code-injection exploits and used these exploits to repeatedly attack an application protected by ClearView. ClearView detected and blocked all of the attacks. For seven of the 10 exploits, ClearView automatically generated patches that corrected the error, enabling the application to survive the attacks and successfully process subsequent inputs. The Red Team also attempted to make ClearView apply an undesirable patch, but ClearView's patch evaluation mechanism enabled ClearView to identify and discard both ineffective patches and damaging patches.
Angelos Keromytis, an associate professor of computer science at Columbia University, who works on related techniques for combating cyberattacks, says that the MIT approach is "very original," but cautions that Web developers may be reluctant to adopt it anytime soon. "They're wary of a system that changes another system automatically," Keromytis says. "When they manually make changes to their systems, they break them, so they think that automatically doing it is going to be worse." Keromytis points out, however, that while DARPA has run a number of red-team exercises evaluating new technologies in a range of areas, "This is probably one of the most successful exercises that I have seen." The mere fact that DARPA was willing to spend so much money testing the system, Keromytis says, indicates that "they think it's close enough to a rough prototype that works, which is more than one can say for most academic research."

Fat City
Thank you, Illinois taxpayers, for my cushy life.
Redacted from an article
By Professor Emeritus David Rubenstein
Weekly Standard, May 30, 2011
After 34 years of teaching sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I recently retired at age 64 at 80 percent of my pay for life. This calculation was based on a salary spiked by summer teaching, and since I no longer pay into the retirement fund, I now receive significantly more than when I "worked." But that's not all: There's a generous health insurance plan, a guaranteed 3 percent annual cost of living increase, and a few other perquisites.
Having over-invested in my retirement annuity, I received a fat refund and—when it rains, it pours—another for unused sick leave. I was also offered the opportunity to teach as an emeritus for three years, receiving $8,000 per course, double the pay for adjuncts, which works out to over $200 an hour. Another going-away present was summer pay, one-ninth of my salary, with no teaching obligation.
I haven't done the math but I suspect that, given a normal life span, these benefits nearly doubled my salary. And in Illinois these benefits are constitutionally guaranteed, up there with freedom of religion and speech.
… Why do I put "worked" in quotation marks? Because my main task as a university professor was self-cultivation: reading and writing about topics that interested me. Maybe this counts as work. But here I am today—like many of my retired colleagues—doing pretty much what I have done since the day I began graduate school, albeit with less intensity.
Before retiring, I carried a teaching load of two courses per semester: six hours of lecture a week. I usually scheduled classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays: The rest of the week was mine. Sometimes my teaching began at 9:30 a.m., but this was hardship duty. A night owl, I preferred to start my courses at 11 or 12.
This schedule held for 30 weeks of the year, leaving free three months in summer, a month in December, and a week in spring, plus all the usual holidays. Every six years, there was sabbatical leave: a semester off at full pay to do research, which sometimes actually got done. The grandest prize of all is, of course, tenure. The tenured live in a different world than ordinary mortals, a world in which fears of unemployment are banished, futures can be confidently planned, and retirement is secure.
The only really arduous part of teaching was grading exams and papers. But for most of my classes I had teaching assistants to do this, graduate students who usually knew little more about the topic than the undergraduates.
According to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, Harvard, donating 4 to 1 in favor of Democrats in 2008, was one of the more politically diverse major American universities. Ninety-two percent of employees at the University of Chicago donated to Democrats. The University of California favored Democrats over Republicans, 90 percent to 10 percent. And William and Mary employees preferred Democrats to the GOP by a margin of 99 percent to 1 percent. Neil Gross of Harvard found that 87.6 percent of social scientists voted for Kerry, 6.2 percent for Bush.
Gross also found that 25 percent of sociologists characterize themselves as Marxists, likely a higher percentage than members of the Chinese Communist party. I would guess that if Lenin were around today he would be teaching sociology and seeking grants to fund the revolution.
An argument can be made that, compared with professionals in the private sector, college professors are underpaid, though according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "By rank, the average salary was $108,749 for full professors." It is difficult to compare the overall goodness of different lives, but there is a back of the envelope shortcut. The rarity of quits and the abundance of applications is good evidence that the life of the college professor is indeed enviable.
And then there are the public schools. Because K-12 education is local, generalizations are difficult. But there are many egregious cases. Less than 2 percent of teachers in Los Angeles are denied tenure. In the last decade, according to LA Weekly, the city "spent $3.5 million trying to fire just seven of the district's 33,000 teachers for poor classroom performance."
Protests against efforts to reform pay scales, teaching loads, and retirement benefits employ a "solidarity forever, the union makes us strong" rhetoric. What these professors and other government workers do not understand is that they are not demanding a share of the profits from the fat-cat bourgeoisie. They are squeezing taxpayers—for whom the professors purport to advocate—whose lives are in most cases far harsher than their own.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. - As many as 13 Wabash alumni and one Wabash student gathered Oct. 29 in Lafayette to work for the local Habitat for Humanity sponsored by Unity Hospital. The event marked the inaugural Wabash Day for the National Association of Wabash Men.
Wabash Day offered a unique opportunity for Alumni and students to gather while contributing to their communities at the same time. Up to 20 associations across the country participated in the first-ever event. (See photo album of Lafayette work.)
"It is a neat idea. It is not that big of a deal to give up a Saturday to help serve your community," Andrew Weintraut '07 said of his participation. Weintraut is a native of Lafayette, a rhetoric major and member of the Beta Theta Phi fraternity.
Wabash men spent the day putting up siding and preparing for drywall installation for the Habitat for Humanity house. The project is scheduled to be finished in December then a needing and deserving family can move in.
"It's a great day," Lou Fenoglio '81 said. "We have great weather. We have a bunch of great guys and a great cause to come together for."
Not just Wabash Alumni and students gathered together for Wabash Day. Parents and representatives from other organizations were in attendance. Dick Schrader, father of Doug Schrader '86, was one of the many who joined and picked up a hammer to help a great cause. Russ Schneider, a member of Americorps and '05 graduate of Purdue University who is now working in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, was also lending a helping hand.
"We always appreciate all the help we can get on these projects," Schneider said. "Hopefully after all the help we have and all the work we are getting done we can get past the halfway point towards the completion of this project.
"It is really a great thing the Wabash College is doing here and I hope it continues in the future."
Sexton is a Wabash College junior and English major.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, but he was taking snaps in camp in the goal line drills over the weekend and also played some against the Eagles. He's not a guy that you want pounding it up the middle like Redman or Dwyer but there's nobody that's getting to the outside quicker than this guy that's for sure.
CBS SportsSpeedster running back Chris Rainey has shown the Steelers just about everything through 2 1/2 impressive weeks of his first NFL training camp.
But Rainey as a goal-line back? That was new.
The 5-9, 180-pound (and that's generous) rookie from Florida was getting the ball during the popular goal-line drills Sunday at practice.
To be fair, his participation in the drill was more out of necessity and a last-man-standing quality than anything else. Nagging injuries to Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer kept them out of practice, and fellow back John Clay left the workout with a hip/groin injury.
That left Baron Batch and Rainey, who used his blazing speed to score a touchdown during the Steelers preseason loss at Philadelphia Thursday. But that, like most of his touchdowns at the University of Florida, was in the open field. Lining up at the 1 1/2-yard line behind a two-tight end set was different.
"Obviously, he doesn't fit the cookie-cutter of a man who runs in that situation, but he did a nice job today," coach Mike Tomlin said.
"We don't have him in the box, we really don't. He's done just about everything we've asked him to do and we'll continue to find ways and see if he's capable of doing things."

Project Ark catalogs nation's captive animals
Photographer visits US zoos, aquariums
If you have a favorite animal, chances are good that Joel Sartore has a great photo of it.
The National Geographic photographer has taken portraits of thousands of animals. His goal is to save them on film, and hopefully in the wild.
"That's my job is to tell the world about all these different creatures and tell their stories," said Sartore.
He's traveling the country taking photos of all the 6,000 animal species in captivity at U.S. zoos and aquariums.
"I've been at this about eight years, and I've got about 2,800 species so far out of the 6,000 that are captive, so I'm almost halfway there," Sartore said.
He's visiting Cincinnati Zoo as part of the Photo Ark.
"Zoos are actually arks now, they're modern-day arks," Sartore said. "They house species that don't exist anymore in the wild, and as we continue to spread out with 9 billion people next, a lot of the species in Asia are especially hard hit."
Sartore and his team catalog all the photos and post them online to help spur a passion for conservation.
He hopes that if people look into the animals' eyes, they'll want to work to help save them.
"I firmly believe that we will be able to save some of the species that I photograph, because most of them go unnoticed, and it just takes one person to care, to really be passionate about it and to dive in," Sartore said.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (March 23, 2010) – Fans coming to the Colorado Rapids' 2010 home opener on Saturday, April 3 at 2 p.m. vs. the Chicago Fire will be treated to a special halftime performance by Denver's own national recording artists, The Flobots.
Flobots are an alternative rap/rock band from Denver, Colorado founded in 2005. Comprised of Jonny 5 (vocals), Brer Rabbit (vocals), Mackenzie Roberts (viola/vocals), Jessie Walker (bass), Andy Guerrero (guitar) and Kenny Ortiz (drums), the band became popular in 2008 when their singles "Handlebars" and "Rise" became hits on American alternative rock radio.
Rapids fans will remember the Flobots' song "Rise" from when the team adopted the song for their late season push during the 2008 season, mixing it in with music videos as part of the club's in-staduim entertainment.
March 2010 saw the release of the Flobots' sophomore studio effort, Survival Story, which demonstrates a heavier rock edge.
The Flobots' halftime performace on April 3 will be free to all fans holding a ticket to Rapids Opening Day.
Tickets for the Rapids' home opener and Flobots' halftime performance start at just $16 and are available for purchase at the Dick's Sporting Goods Park Box Office, via phone by calling 303-53-HORSE, at the kiosks at any Colorado Dick's Sporting Goods location, or online at www.TicketHorse.com.

It's Thursday afternoon and you're feeling hungry. You also have a deadline and don't have time to make a nice, healthy snack so you reach for the easiest thing which just happens to be some cookies. You munch on these as you spend the next four hours sitting in front of the computer.
Does this sound familiar?
Sure you know the many benefits of staying healthy and active, but let's admit it- it's so much easier to stay motivated in the nice sunnier months. Here are some tips to help you stay healthy despite your busy schedules:
1. Have a brain clearing session
Otherwise known as the "take a break" moment, this means getting up and move away from your work area. If you are tied to a desk during much of the day, go put the kettle on and move about while you wait. If you're on your feet all day, go to a quiet place (a park if it's a nice day) and stretch your legs and loosen up your shoulders.
If you can, dedicate half of your lunch break to getting some air outside. Just a little walk around the block can do wonders for your mind and senses.
2. Be the master of willpower
Research has shown that our amount of willpower is not limitless. Like petrol, it is something we can all run out of so the important thing to remember is to play offense rather than defense. Which scenario is easier: to not have that cheesecake in the fridge or to not have a slice of that cheesecake that's already in the fridge?
If you find your willpower waning remember what my friend says: "I don't want to work to lose the weight, so I try not to gain the weight in the first place."
3. Have water (or herbal teas) at hand
Many people have trouble differentiating thirst from hunger so have a full bottle (not plastic) or glass of water nearby. There's no need to take great big gulps if you're not terribly thirsty but just stay comfortably hydrated.
4. Plan and organise
If you're a workaholic, chances are you plan and organise a lot of things already to help manage your workload. Are you planning time for yourself though? One of the main reasons people don't exercise is because they pencil it in their brain but time is never actually set aside.
Put it down as an appointment in your diary and stick to it. Do the same with your acupuncture or massage appointments. If you don't actually book and commit, there will always be endless tasks that will creep into its place instead.
5. Eat with mindfulness
You should be aware of every bite that you put into your body. It's easy to snack away on sweets and savouries so start surrounding yourself with nuts, fruit and vegetables instead.
There will be times when only that packet of crisps will do and that's fine too. The important thing is to stay mindful so savour every bite of it and let the taste linger. This should help with your cravings and also stop you from munching through another five more bags.
6. Breathe
Take the time to breathe, even if it's only for 30 seconds. It can do wonders when you're feeling stressed. Breathe in deeply through your nose and out your mouth and do it when the annoying colleague is nearby, when you've had an intense meeting, during your lunch break. Anywhere is a good place to breathe and take a moment before you jump right back in there.
