"Tell me what your name is, …
… and I'll tell you who you are." One thing's for sure; the person who invented that saying wasn't thinking about aircraft. But aircraft names do tell us something about the plane in question – at least, they do at Lufthansa. And aviation experts can glean a lot more information from the official registration. Here's some background on aircraft names and registrations
The name on the fuselage is Frankfurt am Main, but she's better known at Lufthansa as Mike Alpha. Some sticklers for the rules opt for the official registration code D-AIMA. So far, so good? We're talking about Lufthansa's first Airbus A380, which was delivered toward the close of 2009. Like most Lufthansa aircraft, she has a name as well as an official registration – and, to top that, a nickname as well.
Let's take a look at the official registration first. That's painted on both sides of the fuselage right next to the rear doors. Lufthansa's aircraft registrations always consist of five letters. The first letter states the country in which the machine is registered. So the D stands for Deutschland (Germany). The second letter tells us the aircraft classification and weight category. The A indicates an engine-powered plane with an all-up takeoff weight of not less than 20 tons – that goes for all Lufthansa aircraft in regular commercial service.
The third letter is the code for manufacturer's identity. "I" stands for Airbus and "B" for Boeing. The fourth letter states aircraft type; that's "M" for the A380 and, for example; "Y" for the Boeing 747-8. The fifth letter is used to identify the individual plane.
So that's the secret behind the identification code D-AIMA for that Lufthansa A380. But airline staff seldom use an aircraft's full registration code. They cut it down to the last two letters and then, to avoid any misunderstandings, they translate those into the international phonetic alphabet: D-AIMA morphs into Mike Alpha.
But how did Mike Alpha acquire the name Frankfurt am Main? That's the result of a tradition going back more than 50 years. In 1960, Lufthansa decided to start naming the aircraft in its fleet. They restricted this at first to their long-haul aircraft, which they named after continents and West German cities with their own airports.
They had to rethink this procedure as their fleet grew in size. Large aircraft like the Boeing 747 could also be named after German states, and towns with a 40,000+ population can now be used to name any type of machine – short-, medium- and long-haul. And the planes of the Lufthansa Regional fleet get the names of smaller towns with a population of less than 40,000.
So the rule of thumb goes like this: the bigger the plane, the bigger the place it's named after. But there are exceptions, like when a plane leaves the fleet. Its name can then be transferred to another plane, but only when there's a new arrival of the right size. The place holding the record for name transfer is the city of Stuttgart – the state capital of Baden-Württemberg. To date, it has given its name to six different aircraft. But East German cities like Dresden and Leipzig are starting to catch up. Their names only qualified for use after German reunification.
There are exceptions to every rule and this is the case with the Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 with the official registration D-AIFC. This came into service in 2002 with the name Gander/Halifax – to make it the first plane in the fleet to bear the name of a foreign town. The story behind that takes us back to 9/11, when U.S. airspace was completely closed down. Within the space of a few hours, 42 planes, including a number of Lufthansa aircraft, had to be diverted to land at this small Canadian town. Naming the machine Gander/Halifax was Lufthansa's way of saying thank-you to the people of Gander for their help.
Lufthansa changed the rules again for the Airbus A380. These planes can be named either after cities or Lufthansa hubs in Germany and elsewhere in the world. It goes without saying that Lufthansa was honor-bound to choose the name Frankfurt am Main for D-AIMA, its first A380. That's not only a big German city. It's Lufthansa's most important hub.

This fact sheet is geared toward the health-care professional. It highlights the best practice guideline recommendations and offers tips on how to facilitate client centred learning.
Nurses and other health-care providers want you to know they can help you deal with a serious threat to your health—abuse and neglect.
Did you know that signs of abuse and neglect are not always easy to spot? You may not even know that you are being mistreated. That's why it is so important to talk about the issue with a trained nurse or health-care provider.
You may need to seek assistance from a health-care professional when you have concerns about people you care for who are in pain.
Uncontrolled pain is a common problem. Pain can affect anyone at any age and include people who are unable to communicate that they are experiencing some form of pain. If people have pain during their day-to-day activities or during any medical procedure, this can affect the way they behave and function. This behaviour may cause you to feel helpless and distressed, especially if you can not help them with their pain and they are not able to speak for themselves.
Helping you control your asthma: A fact sheet for adults living with asthma
Many people with asthma restrict their daily activities and suffer needlessly. But with proper asthma care, you can reach asthma control.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic swelling of your airways. Asthma symptoms may begin suddenly or may get worse over time. Some common symptoms are:
Why you should seek assistance from a health-care professional when you are in pain?
Uncontrolled pain is a common problem. Pain can affect anyone at any age. If you are experiencing uncontrolled pain it can affect day-to-day activities and make you feel upset or sad. Members of your family may feel helpless too, especially if they do not know how to help.

The Mind Benders
"This story was suggested by experiments on 'The Reduction Of Sensation' recently carried out at certain universities in the United States." This baleful warning, with Cold War overtones written all over it, begins the queasy British thriller The Mind Benders. Although influenced by real occurrences in the US, this particular story takes place in Oxford, UK. Written the same year as the Ipcress File (the novel, not the film), it's very hard to ignore the similarities between the two stories. Both focus primarily on espionage, brainwashing, sensory deprivation, etc...The Mind Benders feels more like an extended 2-part episode of The Avengers, sans Emma Peel (dang). In that I mean it feels more like two separate films with two major themes: Free Will and True Love.
This is another DVD that I picked up from the looks of the cover. Expecting a pulp trash sci-fi schlocker, which is usually my cup of tea, I was inadvertently presented with a sophisticated and multi-layered low budget psychological thriller.Continue Reading

Hard times: Family stories tell the tale
Normally a Charlottesville-based home inspector, Peter Drenan is on special assignment as a FEMA leader and a Hook stringer. This is the fourth in a series of dispatches from the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast.
There's an almost-new baseball on the shoulder of an eight-lane highway overpass.
There's no rhyme or reason why it showed up here. It's too shiny to have been in the floodwaters, too unscarred to have fallen off a passing car overloaded with a family's salvaged treasures.
You know there's a story here, a story about how this baseball was saved from being washed away; about how it reminded a boy of playing catch with his dad or reminded a family of a trip together to see the local team– a family trip of love, laughter and comfort.
The baseball is lost now. But it still has its story.
There are stories everywhere here. Some are obvious– a truck perched in a tree or a barge on top of a dozen houses. There are weird images that grab your eye– a car on the roof of a house that is itself on top of another car. Mile-long ditches filled with animal carcasses, tree trunks standing tall but stripped clean of every limb– images everywhere. There are whole stretches– perhaps miles long– where there is no evidence of any previous life, while in other areas houses are piled upon one another like toy blocks.
But the stories I like best are the family stories.
There are so many displaced families who want to move back home that they're camped out in tents and campers. Every vacant parking lot, closed shopping center, and municipal area has become a multi-colored field billowing tents, canopies, tarps, and shanties. Some of the lucky families are living on the cruise ships still docked at the port with as many as six people jammed into a single cabin. This is not luxury on the high seas.
The very luckier ones are staying together as families in the few hotels that are functioning in downtown New Orleans. Just yesterday in the elevator of a fancy hotel, there was a family of five with three small boys. They were beautiful children, not more than five or six years old. Their backpacks were larger than their bodies. They were smiling and laughing– living in a hotel is a great adventure.
These three boys know the nooks and crannies, they know the rhythm of the day, they know the staff and the concierge. As the elevator doors opened, one of the boys shot towards the bell captain's station– only to find that a table had been removed. We looked around in surprise and then went over to the marble counter. The smallest boy's little hand stretched up to catch the attention of the tuxedo-wearing concierge who smiled, leaning over the counter.
"The table's gone. Where did the table go?" the little boy said.
"We moved the table– it wasn't really supposed to be there."
"But where are the newspapers? There used to be newspapers on the table. I want to get my daddy a newspaper." There was a pleading tone to his voice. The concierge reached behind the counter and handed a crisply folded newspaper to the boy, whose face beamed like he had struck gold.
This little boy loved the adventure of being surrounded by carpets and tapestries, linen tablecloths, and crystal and silver. The whole family was camping out in one hotel room, all five of them in two beds. It was a wonderful adventure.
He didn't really grasp how lucky they were. He only knew how his daddy smiled when he handed him the morning newspaper, proud and smiling that he had accomplished his mission.
The beautiful little boy with the beaming smile didn't grasp how desperate life around him was. His daddy knew, though– as soon as the three little boys were off to school, dad's shoulders slumped and the smile left his face. The morning headline declared that all FEMA-subsidized hotel payments were ending for displaced people on December 1. Their luck was about to run out.

Handleiding:Hoe te debuggen
This page gives a basic introduction to debugging MediaWiki software.
Een van de eerste dingen die opvalt is dat "echo" in het algemeen niet werkt; dit is deel van het algemene ontwerp.
PHP fouten
Om PHP fouten te zien, voeg dit onderaan aan LocalSettings.php toe:
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
Of plaats deze in php.ini:
error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
Of in .htaccess:
php_value error_reporting -1
php_flag display_errors On
This will cause PHP errors to be shown on-page. This might make it easier for attackers to find a way into your server, so disable it again when you have found the problem.
Note that fatal PHP errors may happen before the lines above are ever executed, or may prevent them from being shown. Fatal PHP errors are usually logged to Apache's error log – check the
error_log setting in
php.ini (or use
There are several configuration options to aid debugging. The following are all
false by default. Enable them by setting them to
true in your LocalSettings.php:
$wgShowExceptionDetailsEnable more details (like a stack trace) to be shown on the "Fatal error" page.
$wgDebugToolbarShows a toolbar on the page with profiling, log messages and more.
$wgShowDebugAdds the "log messages" part of wgDebugToolbar as a raw list to the page.
$wgDevelopmentWarningsMediaWiki will throw notices for some possible error conditions and for deprecated functions.
Zet display_startup_errors aan
Some providers turn
display_startup_errors off, which hides the errors even if you raise the
error_reporting level. Turning it on within the program is too late! Instead you'll have to create a wrapper file around your file. In the case of MediaWiki you can just add this on top of mediawiki/index.php:
--- index.php
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
In andere omgevingen:
--- myTestFile.php
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_startup_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
require 'your_file.php';
SQL fouten
Om SQL fouten in de foutberichten te tonen in plaats van "(SQL query verborgen)", voer het volgende toe aan
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;
|MediaWiki versie:
|1.16 – 1.31
Backtrace voor SQL fouten kan ook worden aangezet door $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace in te stellen:
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true;
Diepgaand debuggen
For the most common setup (using MediaWiki-Vagrant and PhpStorm) see Manual:How to debug/with MediaWiki-Vagrant and PHPStorm.
If you are using the Zend PHP interpreter, you can debug your code with XDebug. MediaWiki-Vagrant has built in settings for this. If you're not using MediaWiki-Vagrant, but your setup is similar, you can reuse those values. In some cases (e.g. due to a firewall), you may have to use the IDE on the same machine as the web server. In this case, you can simply set:
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host = 'localhost'
If you use this configuration, you may run into an issue if HHVM is also listening on the machine. Both XDebug and HHVM use port 9000 by default. However, you can change this for XDebug (and many clients). For the XDebug side, use:
xdebug.remote_port = 9001
Remember if you change it for XDebug, you must also change it for your IDE.
See the XDebug documentation for more information.
To debug a command-line script (e.g. PHPUnit, or a maintenance script) on MediaWiki-Vagrant, use:
xdebug_on; php5 /vagrant/mediawiki/tests/phpunit/phpunit.php --wiki=wiki /vagrant/mediawiki/extensions/Extension/tests/phpunit/SomeTest.php; xdebug_off
Adjust the script, parameters, and remote host (it should be the IP of the computer where your IP is, 10.0.2.2 should work for MediaWiki-Vagrant) as needed.
If you are using the HHVM PHP runtime, you can debug your code with the built in CLI debugger and debug server. (XDebug also usually works, but is less reliable than on Zend.) This debugger is vaguely similar to GDB.
In order for the cli debugger to attach to web requests the hhvm.debug.enable_debugger parameter needs to be enabled. This is enabled by default on the mediawiki-vagrant development environment.
With this enabled the process is:
$ hhvm -m debug --debug-host localhost --debug-port 8089 localhost> machine list machine list 1 vagrant's default sandbox at /vagrant/www/ 2 __builtin's default sandbox at / localhost> machine attach 2 machine attach 2 Attaching to __builtin's default sandbox at / and pre-loading, please wait... localhost> break MediaWiki::run() break MediaWiki::run() Breakpoint 1 set upon entering MediaWiki::run() localhost> continue continue
The machine attach 2 is required.
It may not always be machine 2, but it will always be the one identified as "__builtin's default sandbox at /".
This is only true on configurations that pass a
DOCUMENT_ROOT over fastcgi to hhvm (such as MediaWiki-Vagrant and wmf production), alternate configurations may vary.
At this point the next web request that enters MediaWiki::run() (all of them) will break and put you on a command prompt:
Breakpoint 1 reached at MediaWiki::run() on line 450 of /vagrant/mediawiki/includes/MediaWiki.php 449 try { 450* $this->checkMaxLag(); 451 try { localhost>
The HHVM CLI debugger has an excellent help system, for example try help break for details on the syntax of choosing break points.
For much greater detail, you need to profile and log errors.
$wgMWLoggerDefaultSpi, for example enable the
psr3 role on a vagrant box, these settings will probably be ignored. See in this case the documentation of your logger, like Manual:MonologSpi.
Setting up a debug log file
To save errors and debugging information to a log, add
$wgDebugLogFile to the
LocalSettings.php file. Change the value to a text file where you want to save the debug trace output.
The MediaWiki software must have permissions from your operating system to create and write to this file, for example in a default Ubuntu install it runs as user & group
Here's a sample setting:
* The debug log file must never be publicly accessible because it
* contains private data. But ensure that the directory is writeable by the
* PHP script running within your Web server.
* The filename is with the database name of the wiki.
$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/log/mediawiki/debug-{$wgDBname}.log";
This file will contain much debug information from MediaWiki core and extensions. Some subsystems write to custom logs, see #Creating a custom log file to capture their output.
Database transaction lifecycle debugging can be enabled for some databases with $wgDebugDBTransactions.
|The debug log file can contain private information such as login credentials, session cookies, and values of submitted forms. If this information is publicly accessible, attackers can use it to hack and compromise your machine and user account. If you need to share a debug log for diagnostic purposes, access the wiki without being logged in, and remove from the debug log any COOKIE lines, and don't capture any login attempt.
Creating a custom log file
To create a custom log file that only holds your specific debug statements, use the
wfErrorLog() function (use of wfErrorLog was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.25). This function takes two arguments, the text string to log and the path to the log file:
wfErrorLog( "An error occurred.\n", '/var/log/mediawiki/my-custom-debug.log' );
Creating custom log groups
If you're debugging several different components, it may be useful to direct certain log groups to write to a separate file. See $wgDebugLogGroups for more information.
To set up custom log groups, use the following to LocalSettings.php:
* The debug log file should not be publicly accessible if it is used, as it
* may contain private data. However, it must be in a directory to which PHP run
* within your web server can write.
* Contrary to wgDebugLogFile, it is not necessary to include a wiki-id in these log file names
* if you have multiple wikis. These log entries are prefixed with sufficient information to
* identify the relevant wiki (web server hostname and wiki-id).
// Groups from MediaWiki core
$wgDBerrorLog = '/var/log/mediawiki/dberror.log';
$wgRateLimitLog = '/var/log/mediawiki/ratelimit.log';
$wgDebugLogGroups = array(
'resourceloader' => '/var/log/mediawiki/resourceloader.log',
'exception' => '/var/log/mediawiki/exception.log',
'error' => '/var/log/mediawiki/error.log',
#'exception-json' => '/var/log/mediawiki/exception.json',
// Extra log groups from your extension
#'myextension' => '/var/log/mediawiki/myextension.log',
#'somegroup' => '/var/log/mediawiki/somegroup.log',
To log to one of these groups, call
wfDebugLog like this:
if ( $module->hasFailed ) {
wfDebugLog( 'myextension', "Something is not right, module {$module->name} failed." );
/tmp directory may not generate any log file at all, even if the /tmp directory is supposed to be writable by anyone. This could happen if your system is using one of the systemd features that create a virtual /tmp directory for that process. If that's the case, configure your log file to be written into a different directory, like
Structured logging
|MediaWiki versie:
|≥ 1.25
Structured logging allows you to include fields in your log records. See Structured logging for more information.
Advanced client-side logging can be performed with Extension:EventLogging, which requires a complex setup and careful inspection of privacy issues.
Simple counting of certain kind of events is possible (since MediaWiki 1.25) using StatsD. StatsD offers meters, gauges, counters, and timing metrics.
$stats = $context->getStats();
$stats->increment( 'resourceloader.cache.hits' );
$stats->timing( 'resourceloader.cache.rtt', $rtt );
The metrics can be sent to a StatsD server, which may be specified via the
wgStatsdServer configuration variable. (If not set, the metrics are discarded.) You can work with StatsD locally (without needing a Graphite server) by starting a StatsD server and configuring it with the "backends/console" backend, which will output metrics to the console.
As of MediaWiki 1.25,
wfIncrStats() is a shortcut for the
increment() method on the main
RequestContext::getStats() instance.
Send debug data to an HTML comment in the output
This may occasionally be useful when supporting a non-technical end-user. It's more secure than exposing the debug log file to the web, since the output only contains private data for the current user. But it's not ideal for development use since data is lost on fatal errors and redirects. Use on production sites is not recommended. Debug comments reveal information in page views which could potentially expose security risks.
$wgDebugComments = true;
Working live with MediaWiki objects
eval.php is an interactive script to evaluate and interact with MediaWiki objects and functions in a fully initialized environment.
$ php maintenance/eval.php > print wfMessage("Recentchanges")->plain(); Recent changes
The MediaWiki-Vagrant portable virtual machine integrates the interactive PHP shell
hhvmsh (when using the default HHVM) or
phpsh (when using Zend).
Callable updates
Code embedded in the
DeferredUpdates::addCallableUpdate() function, such as
$rc->save() in
RecentChange.php, is not executed during the web request, so no error message will be displayed if it fails.
For debugging, it may be helpful to temporarily remove the code from within the function so that it is executed live.
Client side debugging (JavaScript)
Wikipedia offers a rich set of tools for debugging client side JavaScript. In addition to the MediaWiki tools, other techniques are available to assist with diagnosing client interactions.
- ResourceLoader offers a means to ensure JavaScript is easily viewable by client-side tools.
- Browser tools may provide native functionality to debug client side script.
- Network tracers, like Wireshark can provide insight into the script that is being provided by a page.

An operator in Wyoming was experiencing frequent plugging of injection wells due to the buildup of oily pipeline deposits, which are a combination of hydrocarbons, asphaltenes, iron and other components. These deposits were increasing well downtime and creating additional costs associated with screen cleaning and well maintenance. A two-man crew was needed to perform weekly screen cleanings, which resulted in one-hour downtime per well every week. The operator had attempted back-flowing the wells and lateral lines but the results were discouraging. Well downtime and production losses were a growing concern, in addition to under-deposit corrosion due to the increased buildup of this pipeline deposit.
Four injection wells, A, B, C, and D, were selected as a pilot program to investigate the results of using Clean n Cor CORR11509A. CORR11509A was selected due to the chemical's winterized multifunctional cleaning capabilities and proven best-in-class corrosion performance. Each well was treated upstream at various distances from the injection well. Well A was treated very close to the injection well while well D was treated at a location furthest from the injection well. Initially the wells were treated at a rate of between 5 and 20 ppm. The rates were increased every three weeks up to 100 ppm, which was then held for three months. The screens were examined and cleaned periodically.
After only three months, injection on all four wells had increased by 282 bbls/day, which was a 50 percent increase over previous injection rates. This increase injection resulted in 94 additional bbl/day of oil production, based on an average recovery of 1 bbl oil to every 3 bbls injected water. The weekly screen cleanings were reduced from once per week to once every six weeks, thus saving 344 man-hours and 172 hours of well downtime. As a result of the decreased amount of pipeline deposition, the risk of under-deposit corrosion in the system was greatly reduced.
Return On Investment (ROI) Per Year
Total ROI
Increased Production @ $95/bbl = $3,259,450
+ Man Power Savings = $13,760
+ Deferred Production Recovered
(364 bbls/yr @ $95/bbl) = $34,580
- Clean n Cor Program Cost = $2,520
Clean n Cor Program ROI = $3,305,270
* Lost production of 7 bbls/wk calculated based off initial injection of 530 bbls/ day (every 3 bbls injected equated to 1 bbl oil produced).
Clean n Cor CORR11509A was able to solve the operator's problems in a very short period of time. The results of the trial were outstanding, as the amount of pipeline deposition decreased over time and was no longer plugging the injection wells. The CORR11509A pilot program was very successful in increasing the production of each well, while reducing operating costs and increasing equipment protection. As a result of this pilot program, the entire field is now being treated with Clean n Cor CORR11509A.

Gaps in the wrestling roster continued to hamper the Tigers of Germantown Friends School last week, who wrapped up their pre-holiday agenda in a tri-meet at the Academy of the New Church last Wednesday afternoon.
GFS gave away a net total of 24 points in forfeits to both of its opponents at the Bryn Athyn affair, falling to host ANC, 54-24, and to the other visiting team, Hill School, 63-16. New Church is a member of the Friends Schools League along with GFS, so their head-to-head meeting served as the official league opener for both schools.
Previously, the Tigers had come up on the short end of three other dual meets, wrangling with Edison High School and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, and losing by just two points to nearby rival Penn Charter.
Although their team has had to give up a significant number of points in every outing due to the holes in the line-up, individual GFS grapplers are doing well. Junior Matt Reed was the 138 lb. class champion at the SCH Invitational earlier this month, and at the same tournament senior heavyweight Khari Goosby came in third. Goosby and 152-pounder Hilyard Nichols are the only seniors on the young Germantown squad, which has five freshmen on its 11-man roster.
In Wednesday's bouts at ANC, the Tigers had no entries at 106, 145, 182, 195, and 220 lbs. Against ANC itself there was a double forfeit at 106, and in the Hill School segment GFS got six forfeit points back when the Rams were unable to provide a 113 lb. opponent for freshman Nicholas Wells.
In his bout against Academy of the New Church, the Tigers ninth grader pinned his opponent in exactly one minute. The other GFS grappler who came out of the meet 2-0 was a junior in the 120 lb. class, Elliott Wattenbarger. He led 9-0 after two periods against ANC before pinning in the third round, and against Hill he did most of his scoring in the third period for a 9-1 major decision.
Junior Matt Reed registered a second-period pin against the 138-pounder from New Church, then was pinned himself by his Hill School opponent. Freshman Gabe Buyske-Friedberg went 1-1 at the tri-meet, as well. He logged the Tigers' first win against ANC with a second-period pin at 170 lbs., then lost by fall in the second round of his match against the Rams.
Goosby, the Germantown heavyweight, lost twice by fall, despite leading his Hill School match 5-1 after the first period. The other senior on the GFS squad, Nichols, was tied with his ANC rival after the opening round, then was pinned in the second segment. He picked up some points late in his Hill School contest but still lost a decision, 6-9.
The Tigers had two different wrestlers see action in the 132 lb. class. Freshman Bix Komita Moussa took the mat against ANC and was pinned in the opening period, but sophomore Campbell Holder made out better in his performance against Hill, trailing 4-6 after two periods but then reversing and pinning in the third round.
At 160 lbs., Tigers 10th-grader Andrew Wilson was pinned right at the buzzer in the first round of his ANC contest, and he almost made it through the initial round against the Rams before suffering the same fate. Rob Wilf, a freshman and a first-year wrestler, also suffered pins in both of his matches.
Near the end of the month, several of Germantown Friends' more experienced athletes will compete in the annual Ralph Wetzel Holiday Classic at Hatboro Horsham High School.

A video game app with a $77,000 Diamond pick axe? There's an app for that.
Veteran video game-maker Peter Molyneux has put out a long line of video games like Dungeon Keeper, Populous and Black & White.
His latest might have the most interesting monetization strategies seen on an app in recent memory.
The game is called Curiosity and it will be available on iOS devices such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and Android devices and PCs on Aug. 22.
And the plit is simple: Users chip away at a cube made of 60 million smaller cubes in the hopes of unraveling a mystery at the center of all those cubes.
Up to one million people can play the game at once and they can all chip away at the virtual cubes using a virtual chisel.
But one lucky (?) user will get the chance to spend 77,000 not so virtual dollars on a pick axe that is 100,000 times more powerful than a regular chisel, giving them the best chance to win the game.
New App Comes With $77,000 Tool
A video game app with a $77,000 Diamond pick axe? There's an app for that.

"I can't believe the internet hasn't ran with this meme by now, if I'm being honest"
Last time you heard from us, we were openly ridiculing the Winnipeg Jets for the way in which they've been handling their business, from management to coaching to player personnel. Well, one of those has seemingly been fixed, with Paul Maurice replacing
Jeff Goldblum Claude Noel behind the bench. Cam assures me that there's no blood on our hands, but I'm not so sure about that.. we were pretty harsh last time out after all. Either way you're welcome, Winnipeg.
As a quick aside: how is it possible that, given the social media era we currently live in, that no one has taken the Kevin Chevel-DAY OFF meme and ran with it? I spent some time searching it up online, and nothing comes up, which is a total travesty. This stuff basically writes itself. Whenever the day comes that he finally gets axed by the club, I hope you all enjoy the Kevin Chevel-LAY OFF headline.
But enough about the Jets. We only spent a couple of minutes talking about them, before using the rest of the show to take a close look at the Eastern Conference playoff race (particularly "the murky middle" as Cam coined it, from spots 5-14). We mostly focused on the New York Islanders (a team which we like, especially if they get their hands on a legitimate NHL goaltender), the Carolina Hurricanes (a team that could be poised to make a run up the standings), and the Buffalo Sabres (who could be really enticing in a few years if they nail their upcoming draft picks).
Click past the jump to stream the podcast!
This is the puppy that Cam kept referring to, by the way. Say hi to Cuba!:
As a programming note, we'll spend the majority of Friday's show focusing on the Western Conference. If you've got any questions regarding that, or anything else, feel free to send Cam and Dimitri your questions on Twitter!

RALEIGH � Clearly having moved on from the disappointment of falling short in Atlantic Coast Conference endeavors, the North Carolina State men�s basketball team is taking stock of its lineup as it heads to the NCAA Tournament.
With a matchup for Friday afternoon against Temple in the works at Dayton, Ohio, the Wolfpack will have almost a full week between games. That break might have come at a good time despite the loss in Saturday�s ACC Tournament semifinals to eventual champion Miami.
Senior forward Richard Howell�s injured thigh has made progress, coach Mark Gottfried said.
But in the meantime, sophomore guard Lorenzo Brown�s ankle that caused him to miss two-plus games several weeks ago has caused some discomfort, coach Mark Gottfried said.
�He has struggled with the ankle,� Gottfried said. �It�s just not very strong.�
Neither Howell or Brown was available for comment after Tuesday�s practice.
Instead of a celebration when N.C. State showed up on the NCAA Tournament bracket, this year there was a more subdued response from the Wolfpack. After all, the team fully expected to be part of the tournament.
�We�ve got to go out there with our �A� game,� senior guard Scott Wood said.

Mike Posner Tells Timeflies How Kanye West Motivated Him [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
The Collaboration Room embraces artists looking back at how they made it big and highlighting key moments in their careers. Every successful musician experiences both highs and lows over the course of his profession, and our Collaboration Room contributors are no exception. In this episode, Mike Posner sat down with Timeflies to discuss how he took a moment of criticism and used it to motivate himself to improve.
It's always difficult to work really hard on something, only to receive negative feedback about it. In Mike's case, a song he worked on with Big Sean was panned by Kanye West.
"I look back at this one moment that could have been a turning point, but it really wasn't," Mike explained to Cal Shapiro and Rob "Rez" Resnick of Timeflies. "Big Sean was playing music for Kanye and I was waiting in the lounge for him and he played one of my songs with Kanye, song called 'Who Knows' that we had done together. I produced and sang the hook. I'm like, 'So did you like the song?' [Kanye]'s like 'Not really.' He wasn't being disrespectful, just honest. He's like, 'Maybe it could be for Lupe [Fiasco]. It's not for Sean.'"
Some artists might have taken the criticism to heart, but Mike took the feedback and used it to inspire himself to work harder. And as for his feelings toward Kanye? The singer explained he didn't hold the rapper's opinion against him.
"I rode the elevator down with him and I didn't have to make the decision to be motivated in that moment," Mike continued, adding, "I couldn't wait to get out of the elevator and make more music. I loved the guy. I'm a fan of him. It didn't make me not like him, it made me want to impress him, you know? And do better."
Although Mike referred to the incident as something that "could have been a turning point," it was clearly a defining moment in his career. As it turns out, years later his hard work paid off — big time! The singer recalled seeing Kanye again at the MTV EMAs, as well as the massive compliment the rapper paid him.
"Two years later I saw him at the EMAs in Madrid and he remembered … 'Oh, Mike Posner. I really like some of your music,'" Mike said. "I go, 'You don't know how much that means to me.'"
Talk about taking constructive criticism and turning it into something really, really positive! Even when an artist isn't directly working with someone, that person's feedback still contributes to the collaboration process. As Mike described, not only did it affect his current project with Big Sean, it affected his work in the years to come!
Watch Mike Posner discuss this career-changing moment with Timeflies (and subsequent run-in with Kanye West) in the video above.

So we are about to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, through 12 time zones, halfway across the world to Bangladesh. This is a bittersweet trip. We were originally supposed to visit in winter, with my parents. My dad was as excited as a kid going to a circus. He'd appointed himself tourguide for my kids' first trip to the first country I had ever known. Instead, my cowboy husband and I are leading the trip.
Part of me keeps thinking of all the people and things that won't be there: my dad, my maternal grandmother (the one who told me my first djinn stories), my favorite teacher, the house I grew up in. But another part of me is determined to do my best as substitute tour guide. So here are some things I'm hoping will get done:
1. Visit with my dad's extended family, many of whom will be meeting the kids for the first time.
2. Tasting my way through all my dad's favorite foods. He loved grocery shopping and I hope to visit one or two of the markets while I'm there.
3. Visiting my old school and haunts with the kids in tow. Show them the trees I grew up with.
4. Visit my mom's village where we spent many wonderful summer holidays.
5. Go on some crazy, bone-jolting, fun rickshaw rides.
And on a personal note, I hope to be taking many pictures, collecting stories, and learning to see Bangadesh through my kids' point of view.
I'm going to help my kids know the country like their grandfather used to, I'm going to make Bengali memories for my family. I'm going to embrace this trip as a joyous adventure and know that my dad is along for the ride in spirit.
I don't know when I'll be able to post again...so may your summer too be fun, safe & full of happy adventures!
Bangladesh Biman, the official airlines of Bangladesh

1987 Chevy Camaro And 1972 Chevy Nova- Hometown Hot Rodding
1987 Chevy CamaroDetailer's DreamOver 15 years ago, Tony Bruno of Philadelphia purchased this Camaro as a daily driver. It caught his eye because there were only 794 LT models built in 1987. That same year, the RS six-cylinder model dbuted, but Tony needed a V-8. Instead of leaving it alone like most do with their daily drivers, Tony immediately started tinkering with it, and bolted on parts to make it faster. He made some improvements, but he felt those bolt-ons weren't enough. The engine had to go, and was replaced by a 383ci small-block Chevy built by Speed-O-Motive. This 525-horsepower stroker called for the rest of the car to be upgraded to handle it, and of course Tony was up to the task.
For the last 22 years, Tony has been detailing cars in the Philadelphia area, so it's no wonder he made this one of the cleanest third-generation Camaros we've seen. He's had his hands on over 25,000 cars, making his hobby a part of his daily life. Tony's been interested in cars from an early age, and can see the same thing happening with his 3-year-old son, too!

1972 Nova * Driveway DemonJohn Caldira didn't always have muscle cars; his previous rides consisted of early Datsuns and an 11-second Dodge Neon. After being influenced by his friend with a '68 Camaro, he knew he needed a muscle car.
In January 2007, Jon was ready to buy. Unfortunately, he was overseas, stationed in Iraq with the Air Force. Reading online ads and e-mailing friends were his only means of contact with North America, and he would have to rely on them to find him a car. He found his special Nova locally, and began working on it as soon as he returned home. A little bit of tweaking and tuning earned him 12.20-second quarter-mile times. Jon's goal, however, was closer to the 9.50-second range. He first added a blast of nitrous to this mild 355ci small-block, and got a little closer with an 11.30-second timeslip. He realized this engine just was not going to allow him the power he needed. That's when a 406ci small-block took its place.
Soon after the swap, other parts of his car started to give up. Countless nights spent in driveways and at Mizzi's Automotive in Fairfield, California, were needed to get this Nova finished and ready to hit the track. The Nova isn't just a track car: "I wanted a fast, streetable car that didn't look like anything special," Jon told us. He drives the car to the grocery store, on the freeway, and takes several trips to the track. Future plans are to install wheel tubs (to get a little more tire in the rear), and build a ladder-bar suspension to hook harder.

MINNEAPOLIS -- A father and son who bilked school districts into acquiring "free" fitness equipment as part of a pyramid scheme were sentenced Dec. 7 to lengthy prison terms and will have to pay $39 million in restitution.
U.S. District Judge Joan Erickson of Minneapolis sentenced Cameron J. Lewis, 36, to 17 years in prison and his father, J. Tyron Lewis, 65, to 5 years, 8 months. Cameron Lewis was the CEO of the Utah-based nonprofit organization National School Fitness Foundation. Tyron Lewis was its chairman and helped finance the operation.
A jury in Minneapolis convicted the Lewises a year ago on five counts of mail fraud, nine counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud and one count of money-laundering conspiracy.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says that more than 350 school districts and dozens of banks nationwide lost nearly $40 million in the scheme, in which schools purchased the equipment in anticipation of refunds the foundation said would be obtained through government grants and private donations. In reality, the schools that purchased the equipment in the early stages of the scheme were reimbursed with the payments from schools that signed up later.
The Lewises never disclosed to schools that they were personally profiting from the foundation and paid themselves $1.4 million on the eve of the company's collapse. The foundation went bankrupt in 2004, and the Lewises were convicted in 2006.
In related cases, Shanna L. Black, Cameron Lewis' sister, pleaded guilty in February 2006 to misdemeanor charges for her work with the foundation. Marion H. Markle, the foundation's former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty in April 2006 to a felony related to the scheme to defraud.
Joseph Mont Beardall, the president of School Fitness Systems LLC, which supplied the equipment to the foundation, pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 2004. Beardall, as part of his plea agreement, agreed to pay restitution to victims by selling all his personal and real property and having School Fitness Systems surrender its assets valued at about $2.6 million.
Among the 600 schools in 20 states that were victimized were 131 schools in Utah and 21 schools in Minnesota. The Alpine District in Utah owed $1.7 million, and the Granite District in Utah owed $2 million, according to the Deseret (UT) Morning News.
Allen Giles, general counsel for the Minneapolis school district, says the district put in a claim for $1.3 million but got only $74,000, leaving a loss of about $1.2 million, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"It's $1.2 million we don't have to buy pencils and pay teachers salaries," Giles told the newspaper.
Despite the cost to the schools as a result of the scheme, some physical education teachers are nonetheless happy to have the equipment.
"It's really sad it was done dishonestly," Amy Strickland Johnson, a health and physical education teacher in the Minneapolis school district, told the Star Tribune. "We don't agree with that, but we love the equipment. The kids love it, too."

Sugar: Just Say No!
Think about this. The average American consumes 156 pounds of sugar every year. Experts say that could be the one reason for expanding waistlines. Too much sugar could also cause cardiovascular disease and even depression.
It's a staple in kitchens, restaurants, and certainly in bakeries. However, it turns out that for some, a love affair with sugar could end on a sour note.
Laura Marin, author of The Green Market baking book, told Ivanhoe, "I had some health issues, and it ended up being sugar that was triggering these headaches I was having."
Experts say added sugars can increase inflammation in blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. Some studies suggest high sugar intake can lead to depression. Sugar can change the structure of collagen in the skin which can leave wrinkles.
Registered dietician, Amy Jamieson-Petonic, Med, RD, CSSD, LD, told Ivanhoe, "It's amazing how quickly you can see some of the damage from the added sugars. You can literally see changes within an hour on an ultrasound of how this negatively impacts your cells."
Jamieson-Petonic says the average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar a day.
Jamieson-Petonic told Ivanhoe, "There's a lot of hidden sugars that people might not be aware of."
Sugar is hiding in places like tomato sauce, ketchup, barbeque sauce and salad dressing. While these products may not seem too sweet, they can be loaded with sugar.
Skip the soda because it probably has about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Instead, try drinking sparkling water with a splash of juice. Eat whole foods, that aren't processed. Try to sweeten foods naturally with spices like coriander, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
If you cut out hidden sugar from your diet, then splurge on a treat, you won't derail your entire diet.
Federal guidelines offer limits for the amount of salt and fat that Americans take in. However there is no similar guideline for sugar. The American Heart Association recommends women consume less than 6 teaspoons of added sugar each day and men consume less than 9.
BACKGROUND: Sugars can be found in many foods, and often people don't even realize it's there. Many foods have sugar in them naturally. For example, fruit contains fructose, and milk contains lactose. Both of these are natural sugars. However many foods have added sugars, which are much worse for you. These sugars or syrups are often put into foods while being prepared, processed, or even added individually. The obvious foods that are high in sugar are foods like cakes, candies, cookies, pies, ice cream, cereals and sweetened yogurts, and in drinks like sodas, fruit punches, energy drinks and sports drinks. Sugar needs to be regulated because it isn't something out body needs to function. There are zero nutrients in sugar, and it just adds unnecessary calories that can often lead to weight gain.
THE HIDDEN NAMES OF SUGAR: Sugar is hard to find on nutrition labels often times because it has many different names. Any word in the ingredients list, that ends in "ose," for example glucose, is a type of sugar. However many other names for it include molasses, corn syrup, corn sweetener, honey concentrate, fruit juice concentrate, cane sugar and raw sugar. These are seen on many ingredient labels in food consumed every day, and most people don't even realize that all of those are another word for sugar.
SUGARS AND HEART DISEASE: Too much added sugar in your diet has the potential of tremendously increasing your risk of dying from heart disease. According to a study in JAMA, people who receive 17-21% of their calories from sugar have a 38% higher risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who only get 8% of their calories from sugar. The higher the sugar intake the higher the risk is. A study in the United States showed that on average Americans have about 22 teaspoons of added sugar each day. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons or 100 calories a day of sugar for women, and no more than 9 teaspoons or 150 calories a day of sugar for men to stay healthy. Another concern is that children today are consuming more than 28 percent more sugar than they did 16 years ago, and this rate is continuing to increase.

|Flavonoid biosynthesis
|Flavonoids are a major class of plant secondary metabolites that serves a multitude of functions including pigments and antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are synthesized from phenylpropanoid derivatives by condensation with malonyl-CoA. For example, condensation of p-coumaroyl-CoA (C6-C3) with three malonyl-CoA (C3) molecules results in naringenin chalcone with a diphenylpropane (C6-C3-C6) unit, which is converted to naringenin with the flavone (2-phenylchromen-4-one) backbone by conjugate ring closure. These and further modifications yield a variety of structural forms including chalcones, flavanones, dihyroflavonols, and flavans, anthocyanins, flavones and flavonols, and isoflavonoids.

A new vaccine to combat tuberculosis is less effective at stimulating an immune response when administered to Gambian infants in combination with the routine immunisation schedule, according to clinical trial results published today in Science Translational Medicine.
The findings may have important implications for designing the most effective immunisation schedules for children, and also for the design of future clinical trials of the new vaccine.
Standard childhood vaccinations are routinely given as part of a schedule known as the Expanded Program on Immunisation, EPI, which helps to improve vaccine coverage in the population by reducing the number of visits to the clinic required. The schedule includes vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, as well as the current vaccine for TB, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG). The aim is to vaccinate children in early infancy, in order to protect them from disease as early as possible.
With 1.8 million people per year killed by TB and more than two billion people worldwide infected with the bacteria that causes the disease, it is clear that BCG offers limited protection and there is an urgent need for more effective vaccines against TB.
MVA85A is a vaccine designed to be given after BCG to boost the body's immune response and improve protection against TB. Originally developed by Dr Helen McShane at the University of Oxford with funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council (MRC), it has already been shown to be safe and capable of eliciting powerful immune responses in clinical trials in adults in the UK, Gambia and South Africa. This is the first trial to evaluate safety of the vaccine in infants.
The purpose of the study was to assess whether MVA85A can stimulate immune responses against the tuberculosis bacteria in infants and whether it could feasibly be given at the same time as other childhood vaccines as part of the EPI.
The randomised trial, funded by the Wellcome Trust, the MRC and the European Commission, involved 214 healthy, 4-month-old infants, who had already received BCG at birth. Children were given either EPI alone, MVA85A alone, or MVA85A in conjunction with EPI.
Overall, MVA85A was deemed to be safe, well tolerated and induced a strong immune response. Importantly, the responses to the standard EPI vaccines were not affected by giving MVA85A at the same time. However, the immune response to MVA85A was lower in infants who received it in conjunction with EPI vaccines compared with those that received the new vaccine alone.
Dr McShane, a Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, explains: "It's reassuring to see that MVA85A does not affect immunity to the other vaccines that are included in the EPI and important to see that it is safe in infants. This study will help us determine the best way to integrate MVA85A into routine infant immunisation schedules in future."
Dr Martin Ota, who led the study at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Unit in The Gambia, welcomes the results: "These important results highlight that we have a real opportunity to make sure that children are protected in the future against tuberculosis by introducing effective and well-timed immunisation programmes. This can only be achieved with robust information gathered from well-conducted clinical trials such as this."
"We don't yet know how the immune response we generate with MVA85A relates to protection from TB and we are currently conducting an efficacy trial of a higher dose of the vaccine in South African BCG-vaccinated infants to assess this. The results of this trial will be available in 2012," added Dr McShane.
The South African efficacy trial of MVA85A is supported by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Translation Award. Supporting research to combat infectious disease is one of the Wellcome Trust's strategic goals.
Dr Ted Bianco, Director of Technology Transfer at the Wellcome Trust, commented: "The EPI has been enormously important in protecting successive generations of children from preventable infections for over twenty years. But a limitation of the programme is that not all vaccines can be easily accommodated within a universal vaccination schedule. It is one of the great challenges in public health to resolve this conundrum so that the fruits of today's vaccine research can be delivered to where they are needed with the efficiency that underpins the success of the EPI."

Whips Call for Stricter Penalties and Pilot Education
WASHINGTON - House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (MO) and House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD) today introduced the "Capitol Airspace Enforcement Act", bipartisan legislation that aims to prevent violations of restricted airspace around Washington, D.C.
"The massive disruption caused by pilots who are either negligent or unaware of the airspace restrictions around the nation's capital must be promptly addressed. Local law enforcement officers and government officials need to focus on the very real threat of terrorism to Washington, DC, and should not have their attention diverted," said Hoyer.
"In an era in which our security personnel must be particularly vigilant, and our budget hawks must be especially thrifty, needless evacuations of federal buildings are a drain on our resources and an unnecessary diversion," Blunt said. "The bill Mr. Hoyer and I are introducing will require pilots to be properly educated and, after that, punish them if they ignore the flight restrictions in this area."
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) restricted travel in the airspace in the area around Washington, DC. Within the last year, there have been three occasions in which the violation of airspace has resulted in the evacuation of the White House and the Capitol complex. In the May 11th evacuation, officials estimate that 35,000 people were evacuated from the Capitol and adjacent office complexes, as well as 200 people from the White House.
Evacuations cost taxpayers money and temporarily disrupt the work of tens of thousands of federal employees. In addition, there is concern that "crying wolf" and conducting unnecessary emergency evacuations will lessen the sense of urgency in subsequent emergencies.
The new legislation would impose fines of between $10,000 and $100,000 for pilots who violate the District of Columbia Flight Restriction Zone (DC FRZ), which is 15 miles around Reagan National Airport, and fines of up to $5,000 for pilots who violate the District of Columbia Air Defense Identification Zone (DC ADIZ), which is 30 to 45 miles around the District of Columbia metropolitan area. Pilots who violate the DC FRZ would also have their pilot certificate revoked by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for between 2 and 5 years. In addition, the legislation requires the FAA to provide pilots with specialized instruction on compliance with flight restrictions in and around special flight rule areas.
"This legislation sends an unequivocal message to pilots that they must abide by airspace restrictions when flying around Washington or they will face stiff penalties. And the FAA must do its part to educate pilots to ensure they are fully aware of local regulations," concluded Hoyer.
"When tens of thousands of federal employees are evacuated from their offices on a false alarm, the taxpayers who pay them lose," Blunt said.
"Our bill sends the signal to pilots that we're serious about protecting the area around the Capitol and White House, and there will be repercussions to negligence."

NEW YORK - James Shields wiggled out of early trouble and got home run help from Billy Butler and David Lough as the Kansas City Royals sent the New York Yankees to their third straight loss, 3-1 Tuesday night.
Center fielder Lorenzo Cain contributed four nifty catches, defensive replacement Elliot Johnson ranged a long way for a grounder and Kansas City backed Shields (4-6) with a pair of double plays.
Fittingly, the game ended on a fine, twisting grab by another defensive sub, third baseman Mike Moustakas.
CC Sabathia (9-7) gave up seven hits in his second complete game.
Once again, the Yankees had trouble scoring. They've managed exactly one run in each of their last three games - not since 2005 had they scored one run or fewer in three straight, STATS said.
The hitting slump left the Yankees with a three-game home losing streak for the first time since they dropped four in a row in late July 2012.
Lough led off the sixth inning with a tying home run and Butler opened the seventh with a go-ahead shot. Butler hit 29 homers last year and was an All-Star, but has slumped this season - he came into this series with six homers before connecting in the first two games.
Beset by a lack of run support, Shields had won just once in his previous 12 starts, and came in with a losing record despite a 3.23 ERA and ranking among the AL leaders in several pitching categories.
Shields gave up five hits - including three consecutive singles to start the game - in seven innings. He struck out five, walked two and retired his final 13 batters.
Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 22nd save, and second in two nights.
The Royals are trying to win a series at Yankee Stadium for only the second time since the beginning of the 2000 season. Thanks to Shields and the bullpen, they're 2-0 in this four-game set.
Shields improved to 8-15 against the Yankees after overcoming a rocky start. Brett Gardner led off with a bunt single and Ichiro Suzuki and Robinson Cano also singled for a run. New York loaded the bases with one out, but Shields fanned Lyle Overbay and then escaped when Cain ran down Eduardo Nunez's drive to deep right-center.
Shields didn't give up a hit after the second inning, sometimes pitching in rain and even hail.
Sabathia allowed only one hit until Lough homered. Butler's shot was the 20th homer yielded by Sabathia this season, second-most in the majors to the 21 off Kansas City's Jeremy Guthrie.
NOTES: Gardner's streak of striking out ended at a team-record 16 games. He snapped an 0-for-16 rut with his bunt hit. ... Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he hasn't ruled out rehabbing SS Derek Jeter from returning from the minors this weekend. ... Royals RHP Wade Davis (4-7, 5.42 ERA) starts Wednesday night vs. Yankees RHP Ivan Nova (3-2, 4.09). ... Cano's 32 hits off Shields are the third-most in the majors among an active hitter and pitcher, STATS said. Michael Cuddyer has 35 against Mark Buehrle, while Michael Young has 33 off John Lackey. If Manny Ramirez makes it back to the majors, his 36 off Andy Pettitte move to the top of the list.
