Easton, Pa., Balances Sportsmanship With Gun Control
There were dozens of rallies across the nation yesterday, to support a cause that might be losing steam. It's the fight for new gun control laws. President Obama joined family members of recent gun victims at the White House to urge Congress to take action.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Right now, members of Congress are back home in their districts and many of them are holding events where they can hear from their constituents, so I want everybody who's listening to make yourself heard right now.
GREENE: One place where people made themselves heard yesterday was Easton, Pennsylvania. It's a small city on the eastern edge of that state that's famous for making Crayola crayons. NPR's David Welna sent this report.
The town square of Easton is ringed by pawn shops and check cashing agencies. But while Easton may be a bit down, it's hardly out. The crowd that showed up there at yesterday's rally for new gun laws even took the organizers by surprise.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Welcome. (Unintelligible) Look how many people came out on this miserable cold day.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: This isn't church. You don't need to (unintelligible).
WELNA: Around 100 people listened as Jose Rosado, mayor of nearby Fountain Hill, chose his words carefully in a region where the gun culture is still strong.
MAYOR JOSE ROSADO: Obviously, this is a political issue. And our gun rights and our gun laws are very political, so I think it's important for me to say to you today, here, that as public official I don't own a gun, but I don't own a gun because I choose not to. But I'll also tell you that I'll support and fight to protect the rights of responsible gun owners to do so.
WELNA: Easton Mayor Sal Panto says there's wide support for universal background checks for all gun sales and limits on the size of ammunition magazines. Why, he asked, has Congress taken so long to get these measures passed into law?
MAYOR SAL PANTO: The demanded a plan. We gave it to them. Now, it's time to (unintelligible) and if they want to vote against it, that's fine, but take the vote. And that's what we're here today to say. We demand action. We demand that you at least put it on the floor for a vote so that we determine who should be elected again in two and six years.
WELNA: Among those applauding was a local entrepreneur named Ryan Carr. He said he owned guns for sport, just as a lot of others do here.
RYAN CARR: Easton's a small town and the periphery is very rural. There's a lot of hunting. There's a lot of game and there's a lot of farming community here where they grew up, as I did, being a responsible young gun owner and learning how to handle weapons properly.
WELNA: On the outskirts of Easton, gunfire can be heard all day long. At the Easton Fish and Game Association's shooting range, retired pipe fitter Bill Nattinger said he'd driven over from New Jersey to do some target practice. He said some laws Congress is now considering make sense.
BILL NATTINGER: Limiting the size of magazines, I mean, I can understand that. Do you really need something with 20, 30, 50 rounds. I mean, that's silly. You know, you're not going out hunting with 30 rounds. That view is not shared, though, by some other gun enthusiasts in the area
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Applesauce. You want something healthy? Applesauce.
WELNA: At the Hellertown diner, the Greek-born owner wears a cap with the letters NRA across the front.
BILL: My name is Basilio Suskogianis, but I go by Bill. It's a lot easier.
WELNA: Bill also openly carries a Luger semi-automatic pistol, loaded with seven rounds on his hip.
BILL: I had the gun on me all day, walk around with a gun, work with a gun. It may not be good for any other reason. I don't want to show that, you know, I have a gun, but I want to show my support towards other people that, you know, are for protecting the right of owning a firearm.
WELNA: He and others at the restaurant scoff at proposed changes in gun laws. They're confident little will come of Congress's efforts, especially now that a quartet of conservative Republicans plans to filibuster the gun legislation the Senate's due to take up 10 days from now.

True story: In March I moved into a new apartment and I have not cooked since.
Cooking is not fun. I'll do it if I have to; I have some game in the kitchen and am capable of making good things to eat. But all of the logistics surrounding cooking are not interesting to me: grocery stores, markets, ingredients, Farmers Markets, cook books, cleanup, etc etc. Basically, I feel like my time can be better spent. Also, I have the rest of my life to cook, so I'm not really going to start until it is imperative.
How do I eat, you ask. Excellent question! I recently attended a dinner party and I offered my help in the preparations, then quickly rescinded and instead volunteered to help with take-out if the experimental situation went south. (We did not need that option; the host made an incredible meal)
But the point remains: I eat out. A lot. If I am not getting lunch delivered as part of an office perk, I'm in a restaurant. Sometimes I wrangle friends to dine with me, sometimes I do take out. But now? Now I can Order Ahead.
Many mobile apps can help me get food: Get It Now, GrubHub, Seamless. All of them bring me the meal I've requested. But sometimes I'm in a rush and hungry and need to have something waiting for me when I get to my destination. (If you've had the misfortune of experiencing Hungry Leslie, I apologize.) Plus, I really hate standing in line. Order Ahead is ideal in this situation.
I downloaded Order Ahead several months ago with the intent to review but then forgot about it because the offerings in my neighborhood are not restaurants I enjoy. It wasn't until I was standing in the unending lunch line at HRD that I was reminded of Order Ahead's existence. Sure enough, most restaurants I frequent in SOMA are represented. I hope the Order Ahead team works to on-board a better representation in other areas of San Francisco. I'd use it much more frequently.
The in-app UI is very well executed. After one is signed up, credit card filed and logged in, finding a restaurant from which to order is simple. My first order was from the TechCrunch office and as Marlowe is a partner, I couldn't resist one of their cheeseburgers.
Navigating the menu proved efficient as did placing the order. My card was on file so as soon as I ordered the bill was settled. I received confirmation in the app as well as an email. The app's confirmation page provided significantly more detail than the email page including when it could be picked up and where in the restaurant. Simple! I like it.
When I got to Marlowe I stood awkwardly at the bar while the bartender found my order. She kind of shrugged and told me I could just go "since you paid already, right?" We both admitted to not really knowing what the protocol was for the transaction, but it worked out perfectly. The burger was delicious. The only complaint I had was that I forgot I eschewed french fries for salad. It still sits on my desk uneaten several hours later.
I'm looking forward to watching this service grow and trying new establishments as they are added. One in particular seems fascinating: ordering coffee from Philz (or in my case a Chai Latte). I wonder what the experience is like with a beverage order. I'll report back upon trying. But until then if you're in the San Francisco area and don't like cooking, I highly recommend Order Ahead.

Wesley Chapel, Florida (high 77, low 51)
When we were in the beginning stages of thinking about a fulltime Rv life, I remember being told about this new fangled gadget that hooked to your computer and gave you internet. An air card. What? How could that be? It sounded amazing, I was intrigued, and went right out and got one! How great it felt to be able to have internet wherever I went.
Of course things have changed and improved over the years. We can now live in our Rv's and have all the comforts we used to have in our sticks and bricks homes. Well, I don't have a garbage disposal or dishwasher, but I'm sure they're available. I don't miss either of them.
With the power of the internet, we connect with each other and are able to learn and share with each other. How different would our Rv'ing lives be without internet?
I remember sometime back in the early 1970's, someone told me about a "word processor". Boy, that concept was hard to comprehend. How could you process words without a typewriter?
I love being connected to the world through my laptop and Smart phone.
The GPS system was made for people like me who are "directionally challenged."
We love our Directv and Tivo. No commercials are watched in this house….well maybe during Super bowl!
What made got me thinking about technology is something I just tried that's available from our bank. It's not exactly new, but it's the first time I've used it. USAA bank has offered this service for years, but I never tried it. I thought you had to use a scanner.
You can take a photo of a check you want to deposit, and send the image to your bank via your Smart phone! It's quite amazing. I tried it today for the first time.
I simply had to open up my bank account app and log on. I then selected "deposits" and it guided me the rest of the way. I had to take a picture of the front and back of the check, select which account I wanted it deposited to, and then key in the amount. It never told me what to do with the checks afterwards though. You can be sure I'll hang on to them for a while! Amazing!
So what kind of new technology do you think we'll have in the next 5 years? 10 years? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the latest technology. I don't seem to have the patience to learn something new like I used to. Thanks to Rick for all of his tutorials and for keeping us informed of all the latest things. For instance, did you know Outlook was back? Rick did! I"m sure Sherry will be glad to hear about that!
Speaking about technology. Do you remember me telling me about the gadgets we picked up at the Rv show? The Grip stic?
They certainly aren't high tech, but boy do I wish I had invented them!
Well, the longer we have them, the more we use them and I just wanted to share. I've never seen them for sale anywhere other than the Rv show, but I imagine they'll be on one of those "As seen on Tv" shows before too long.
They are GREAT for closing bags. I think we got about 20 in the package we bought and they are currently all in use except for about 3 or 4 of them.
This is what they look like.
You fold the bag over and insert them into the fold.
Once they're sealed, they won't come open. You can easily seal the air out.
This particular bag of blueberries has it's own zip lock closing, but you know how those are. They don't stay closed and you have blueberries all over the freezer. With the Grip Sticks, they cannot come undone until you slide it off.
We use them for chips, frozen goods, cheese, and just about everything else.
We still haven't installed our Sewer Solution hose that we bought from the Rv show. I'll review it once we try it.

Sam's adventures, some of which also occur in the books about Anastasia, are warm and life-affirming; they are related with humorous affection, without a trace of condescension.
In this second book about Anastasia Krupnik's younger brother, Sam concocts a perfume made of his mother's favorite smells to honor her request for only homemade gifts for her birthday.
Sam Krupnik decides to run away to Alaska when his mother won't let him wear his new plastic fangs in the house. Sam stops at neighbors' houses to say goodbye and is given so much gear and information, he wonders if he's made the right choice.
It's Future Job Day at Sam's nursery school, and Sam, who has zookeeping aspirations, is thrilled when his teacher says he can tell the other children about a series of zoo animals: "For six weeks he could stand in front of the circle and feel that feeling of being the most interesting person in the room."

WEDNESDAY, May 30 (HealthDay News) -- More patients and families are using Facebook to seek kidney donations, but it's not clear if doing do improves the chances of obtaining a donor organ, a new study finds.
Researchers from Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill., examined 91 Facebook pages that were seeking kidney donations for patients aged 2 to 69 and found that 12 percent of the pages reported receiving a kidney transplant and 30 percent reported that potential donors had come forward to be tested for compatibility.
One page reported that more than 600 people had been tested as potential donors for a child, according to the study recently presented at a meeting of the National Kidney Foundation.
On kidney solicitation pages where identities could be determined, the researchers found that 37 percent of the pages were created by patients, 31 percent by patient's children, and 32 percent by other family members or friends of patients.
There was wide variation in the amount of personal information revealed on the pages. Some pages simply asked people to donate, without providing any other information. Other patients offered extensive details about patients who needed kidneys, including medical history, family photos and emotional stories about hospital stays, emergency room visits, financial problems and the difficulties of living on dialysis.
White patients and those with more than 50 posts by other people were most likely to succeed in having people agree to be tested to determine if they were compatible to donate a kidney, said kidney specialist Dr. Alexander Chang, a nephrology fellow at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, and colleagues.
They noted a number of ethical concerns. Three percent of the pages received offers to sell kidneys, mostly from people in Third World countries. Would-be donors typically asked for $30,000 to $40,000. Selling organs is illegal.
Only 5 percent of the pages seeking donations mentioned the risks of kidney donations, and only 11 percent mentioned the associated costs.
"Use of social media could be an effective way to solicit kidney donation, but more study is needed to determine how to do this safely and with enough knowledge to make informed decisions," Chang said in a Loyola news release.

The National Kidney Foundation has more about kidney transplantation.

Yet he didn't let this slow him down. The United States was in the midst of the Great Depression when he took office, and his election offered Americans hope. During his first 100 days in office, Roosevelt launched the New Deal—a program that provided jobs, regulated the stock market, strengthened banks, and created the social security system. He served three terms and led the nation through much of World War II.

Sony Announces Cyber-shot HX50V, Handycam HDR-GWP88 and DEV-50V Digital Recording Binoculars
Sony Announces Cyber-shot HX50V, Handycam HDR-GWP88 and DEV-50V Digital Recording Binoculars
Sony has announced three new digital imaging products - a new high zoom Cyber-shot camera with integrated Wi-Fi and GPS Log Recording capabilities, a new handheld projector Handycam with enhanced durability for those who love to travel, as well as the successor to the 3D digital recording binoculars that Sony had launched in 2011.
Cyber-shot HX50V
Boasting a 20.4-megapixel sensor and built-in image stabilization, the HX50V packs a powerful 30x optical zoom range, with its wide-ranging optical zoom giving users more flexibility to pick their optimal shooting position, while Optical SteadyShot camera-shake compensation ensures that image quality is not compromised even when shooting on the move. Even at 30x zoom, the HX50V now offers image stabilization that is twice as effective as the Cyber-shot HX200V3.
Powered by a 20.4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ processor, the HX50V works at more than twice the speed of the Cyber-shot HX200V at full zoom, high-speed autofocus captures even the most fleeting moments. Also, integrated Wi-Fi lets you share those special memories quickly and easily with friends and family.
For more advanced photographers who like to fine-tune the details of a shot, there's a dial to adjust exposure compensation, plus a mode dial for other manual shooting settings such as P/A/S/M modes. There is also a Multi Interface Shoe for attaching compatible electronic viewfinders, flashes, or microphones that can offer better video sound quality and complement the high quality Full HD video shooting and 50p/60p5 recording capability of the HX50V.
Capturing beautifully smooth Full HD movies (50p) that benefit from Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode) compensation, the camera is compatible with TRILUMINOS Colour technology, so the footage can be enjoyed with rich, natural colours when viewed on any TRILUMINOS Display TV.
The Cyber-Shot HX50V with powerful 30x zoom from Sony will be available in Asia Pacific from late May 2013.
Handycam HDR-GWP88
Perfect for travelers who love to capture experiences in Full HD, the HDR-GWP88 features enhanced weather durability, a new self-record button for easily capturing self-portraitvideos, and even a built-in projector for portable big screen viewing.
Waterproof up to a depth of 10m, shock-proof to 5m, freeze-proof down to -10°C, and also dust-proof, the professional grade wide angle 29.8mm high quality Sony G Lens and EXMOR R CMOS image sensor capture detail in vivid colour even in low light, while 17x extended zoom and Optical SteadyShot with Active mode enable amazingly clear and shake-free telephoto shooting.
A self-recording button alongside the lens on the front of the camera has been added to make it easier for users to take self portrait stills and videos. With a built-in LED projector, the HDR-GWP88 includes a 3-inch Clear Photo LCD touch screen gives you a high-definition preview of your movies or still photos taken at up to 20.4 megapixels for breath-taking clarity.
The new Handycam HDR-GWP88 will be available in Asia Pacific from June 2013 onwards.
DEV-50V Digital Recording Binoculars
Splash- and dust-resistant, the new DEV-50V digital recording binoculars is 30% lighter and more compact than previous models, making them more convenient to be packed and carried along for those adventures to rain-soaked mountains or leisurely trips to sandy beaches.
A busy day in the field normally means packing your spotting scope, binoculars and digital camera with bulky telephoto lens. With the DEV-50V you can observe wildlife up close, take impressive photos and shoot smooth, steady video – all without carrying extra gear. Even when you're zoomed right in, Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode image stabilization keeps things stable and blur-free to ensure you are looking at the right subject.
Unlike ordinary binoculars, there's no need to keep focusing manually as your scene changes. Speedy, precise autofocus makes sure everything stays pin-sharp – even while zooming in, panning out or when your subject's moving rapidly.
With the DEV-50V, the brightness of the electronic viewfinder is being boosted by Hyper gain function in low light, helping you see that shy owl more clearly as dusk falls. Hyper gain works by electronically increasing brightness in the viewfinder so the subject can be quickly located and framed in dim lighting conditions.
There's nothing worse than making a fantastic discovery only to have to put away the binoculars, fumble for the camera and find that the moment's gone. The DEV-50V makes it so much easier by just the simple click of the shutter button to capture a 20.4-megapixel still photo. Or opt instead for the record button to start vibrant video footage in Full HD.
Since there are two completely separate image sensors and processors in each side of the binoculars, HD 3D videography is now easily achieved for later viewing on a 3D television. When you're back home, hook up the binoculars to your TV and enjoy the day's recorded highlights in sparking HD clarity. Alternatively, slot the memory card into your PC or digital photo frame and relive the memories.
The new DEV-50V digital recording binoculars by Sony will be available in Asia Pacific from June 2013 in all Sony stores and authorized outlets.
All images accredited to Sony.

Ever wondered where salad comes from?

I thought salad came flown in from Saladonia. As in the eighties TV ad campaign, "I wish they all could be Saladonian girls".

It's caused by the sincerness communicated in the article I browsed. And after this post "Ever wondered where salad comes from?". I was actually moved enough to drop a thought :-P I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright.
Is it just me or do a few of the remarks appear like they are
left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at
other social sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
Would you list all of your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed,

Shambhala is a diverse community. Our centres are located in different regions of the world, and reflect different nationalities, cultures, languages, ethnicities and races. In addition, people who come to our centres may have different religious faiths, follow different spiritual traditions or teachers, or have different paths of practice and opinions, including political views. They have different ages and genders, as well as different sexual orientations, and physical, perceptual and mental abilities.
What we share as a community is a desire to lead sane, dignified, and confident lives. Through the practice of meditation we cultivate the capacity to be fully open to our experience, and the ability to respond to everyday life situations with greater clarity and respect—respect not only for our life situations and ourselves, but for all individuals, social groups and cultures as well.
This does not mean that Shambhala is a perfect society. If you visit one of our centres, you may find that it does not mirror in every way the characteristics of the people who live in the cities or towns where our centres are located. But please note that it is the intention—and the stated policy—of our centres to welcome everyone who enters. This intention is at the very core of the Shambhala Buddhist teachings.
The following documents contain information about the work the Shambhala international community is doing to respond to diversity challenges—based on the teachings of our lineage, the practice of meditation, and genuine communication.
"You are welcome in the Kingdom of Shambhala."
— Shambhala President Richard Reoch, on the occasion of an elegant dinner hosted by the president to celebrate diversity in Shambhala.
More diversity resources coming soon!

Last night, Rihanna attented a Pre-Grammys gala at the Beverly Hilton whilst rocking the slit to end all slits in this Alexandre Vauthier gold silk gown. I don't even know what to say, except I have no clue how she's gonna top this look tonight at the actual Grammys. Maybe she'll attach an extra limb to her butt so she can show us even more leg? I guess that would be more impressive.

"Outlook 2013 : A Golden Opportunity" will kick off the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) 50th National RV Trade Show on Tuesday, Nov. 27, with an informative, entertaining program that honors the rich heritage of the industry's premiere trade event while also emphasizing the fundamental opportunity found an a new RV, a new show and a new year, the RVIA announced.
The free event will begin at 7:30 a.m. with a complimentary sit-down breakfast in the Kentucky Exposition Center's (KEC) South Wing Mezzanine Ballroom. As one of the industry's most anticipated annual events, an enthusiastic crowd of more than 1,000 is expected to be on hand at Outlook 2013, and attendees are urged to arrive early as lines form before the doors officially open.
Hosted by RVIA Chairman of the Board Doug Gaeddert, "Outlook 2013: A Golden Opportunity" will feature "Time to Shine" with RVIA President Richard Coon's thoughts on the future direction of the RV industry.
In "Mining Media Gold" Go RVing Co-Chairmen Bob Olson and Tom Stinnett will team with RVIA Public Relations Committee Chairman B.J. Thompson and RVIA Vice President of Public Relations and Advertising James Ashurst to showcase high-impact advertising and public relations achievements in 2012 and preview what's ahead for 2013.
RVIA will also welcome business expert Larry Winget to the Outlook lineup. Winget is a five-time New York Times/Wall Street Journal best-selling author whose books offer solid, common sense advice for improving your business and finances. With his direct, irreverent, dead-on approach, he is also a popular and frequent guest on Fox News, Fox Business, CNBC and MSNBC.
The "Outlook 2013: A Golden Opportunity" program and breakfast are free for attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis. All National RV Trade Show attendees are welcome, and no reservations are necessary. Show badge registration will be available in the South Wing Lobby C Entrance prior to the event.

The Federal Reserve is to decide on Thursday whether it's going to launch another round of Quantitative Easing this Thursday.
We just put up a survey on the subject, but so far, the No QE camp is winning overwhelmingly.
You can still vote here.
The plurality think that the Fed will only extend guidance, but not do bond purchases, leaving that bullet on the table for a latter meeting.
Opinions among analysts and pundits are split. Goldman thinks there's a greater than 50/50 shot. Nomura thinks there won't be QEIII. Calculated Risk writes a good case for QEIII here.
Our guess: The crowd is right, and that we'll only get a change in language, but no QEIII.
Here's why:
- The economy still appears to be getting better. Citi's Economic Surprise Index has gone positive, and continues to rise.
- Unemployment fell to 8.1%. You might say this is meaningless, since it was a result of people leaving the workforce, but that doesn't change the fact that if the workforce is shrinking that rapidly, then the labour pool is marginally closer to full employment, thus creating inflation risk. The Fed might also wonder (as others have) whether the weak NFP number was the result of a bad seasonal adjustment, rather than an underlying reflection of the economy (other labour market indices were quite solid during the month).
- Meanwhile, the ECB just did the #1 thing that was needed for the global economy by taking the tail risk off the table with its bond buying program. That's FAR more important and impactful than anything the Fed could do right now.
- In the post Michael Woodford-era (Woodford being the economist who advocated NGDP targeting at the recent Jackson Hole conference), the Fed might feel as though a language change is the more robust move it can make.
- The bar is probably high due to the electoral scrutiny. Easing in December will be much more palatable, and the Fed will also have more clarity as to how the Fiscal Cliff will be resolved.
- Asset prices are at multi-year highs, and again, with the help of the ECB, financial conditions are quite easy.
Anyway, this is just our conjecture. It's probably going to be a close call, but the factors above tip the odds of a balance sheet expansion to a point in the future.

I have a list box which contains a list of items. Currently if you type in a character say "L" then you are taken to the first record with this character, if you then type another character say "O" (in list box you now see "LO") it takes you to the first record starting with "O".
How can I get the list box to recognise the characters that are input and go to the record starting with all of the characters?
Any advice is appreciated

Full Mouth Reconstruction Is the Best Way to Address Many Concerns Simultaneously
Eliminate Your Risk of More Widespread Tooth Loss
When left unaddressed, dental decay and infection can spread to other areas of your smile. Treating these concerns can protect remaining teeth and the shape of your jaw.
Treatment Can Have Extraordinary Aesthetic Benefits
Full mouth reconstruction is designed for your smile. Your dentist can take into account the shape of your face, the position of your jaws, and the alignment of your teeth for beautiful results.
Better Health, Better Function, Better Life.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew, and patients with tooth loss often sacrifice healthy food as a result. Treatment can make it easier to eat the foods you need and love.

A world first : Data transmission between European satellites using laser light
ESA PR 69-2001. Last night, for the first time, a data link between satellites was established using a laser beam as signal carrier. On board ESA's Artemis satellite - launched last July by an Ariane 5 - is the SILEX system. This system provides an optical data transmission link with the CNES Earth observation satellite SPOT 4, which is orbiting the earth at an altitude of 832 km while Artemis is temporarily in a parking orbit at 31 000 km.
Through the laser data link, images taken by SPOT 4 can be transmitted in real time to the image processing centre at Spot Image in Toulouse, France, via Artemis, thus drastically reducing the time between taking the picture and its delivery to the centre. This is possible whenever the two satellites are in line of sight. Without the Artemis relay the images are stored on board in SPOT 4's memory and dumped to the ground stations.
The experiment performed last night consisted in establishing the link four times: in the course of four successive SPOT 4 orbits, the SILEX terminal on board Artemis activated its optical beacon to scan the area where SPOT was expected to be. When contact was made, SPOT 4 responded by sending its own laser beam to Artemis. On receiving the SPOT 4 beam, Artemis stopped scanning and the optical link was maintained for a pre-programmed period lasting from 4 to 20 minutes.
During the period when the two satellites were "communicating", test data were transmitted from SPOT 4 to the ground via Artemis at a rate of 50 000 000 bits per second (50 Mbps). The extremely high accuracy of the data stream was confirmed at ESA's test station in Redu (Belgium) and the SPOT 4 receive station in Toulouse.
The main challenge in establishing an optical link between satellites is to point a very narrow beam with extreme accuracy to illuminate the partner spacecraft flying at a speed of 7000 m/s. Last night's experiment was performed under worst-case conditions since Artemis is not in its nominal geostationary position but in an lower parking orbit, circling the Earth every 19 hours.
Last night's experiment was preceded by a series of tests a week earlier, during which a link was established between Artemis and ESA's optical ground station in Tenerife. Thoses tests demonstrated the correct operation of the SILEX terminal and paved the way for the subsequent steps.
Another preparatory test will be performed over the weekend. The first experimental transmission of a SPOT 4 image is planned for early December. Before Christmas, the ion-propulsion phase is expected to start moving Artemis to its final geostationary orbit at 36 000 km. Once the spacecraft has reached that orbit, in the middle of next year, the operational phase will begin and the link between the two satellites will be established at least 5 times a day.
The SILEX system consists of two terminals: one on board Artemis, the other on SPOT 4. Both terminals were designed and built by Astrium. The definition and procurement of the system were conducted in close cooperation between ESA and the French space agency, CNES.
Artemis is an advanced communication satellite built under the leadership of Alenia Spazio (Italy). The satellite is operated from a control station in Fucino (Italy) by the Italian consortium Altel (Alenia Spazio/Telespazio). The test was organised and technically supported by an ESA team at Redu (Belgium) and an Astrium team at Fucino in close cooperation with the CNES SPOT 4 operational team in Toulouse.

Beauty and the Blech
Who's In it: Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, Peter Krause, Neil Patrick Harris, Lisa Gay Hamilton
The Basics: The tale of Beauty and the Beast has existed for almost 300 years, and gets a taser to its soft underbelly in this latest telling. The film begins a shiny, rich high school that puts the Gossip Girl sets to shame. I Am Number Four star Alex Pettyfer plays Kyle, a lazily written hyperbole of an In Crowd Kid, and Vanessa Hudgens is the poor, loner weirdo (who happens to be totally gorgeous). They sniff around each other while Kyle really gets up the ire of the resident witch Kendra (Mary Kate Olsen). She gets sick of his arrogant ways and turns him into Powder…if the Powder sequel involved him losing a wrestling match with a tattoo artist and a woodchipper. Someone has to fall in love with him for who he truly is to break the spell…which means he has to stop being such a tool. Luckily Lindy (Hudgens) needs a place to stay so she becomes the object of his affections while he sorts out his issues.
What's The Deal: In the first 30 minutes, this movie was on the fast track to becoming one of my favorite So Bad It's Good films of the year. Every line is a laugh riot because it's so over the top and ridiculous, including such paraphrased gems as "People like people who look good--anyone who disagrees is either dumb or ugly." Then the movie becomes mired down in Meaning Something, and watching those two fall in love is tiresome and unbelievable. We learned that Jujyfruits are Lindy's favorite candy, and that sent me on a mental tangent about how I prefer Sour Patch Kids, but would leave both behind for anything chocolate. Then I remembered to pay attention to the kid with staples in his face. Yawn.
Look Out, Marilyn Manson: I want to see the movie about angry, haute couture-d witch Kendra. Mary Kate Olsen sulks through every scene, dragging her feet like a sullen child, wearing top hats, flawless wigs, and tons of eye makeup. It appears as though the reason she gets up in the morning is to punish the obnoxious kid and to finally win a walk-on role in a Smashing Pumpkins video. I was transfixed by her and her innate awesomeness.
A More Believable Love Story: …would have been between the two people hired to hang out with Kyle after his father exiled him from his "Hot Sons Only" Apartment. Will (Neil Patrick Harris) and Zola (Lisa Gay Hamilton) are Kyle's tutor and his maid, respectively. And even though Will is blind, I feel like he still really saw Zola. Are you getting that I was paying attention to nearly everything in the film except the two main characters?
Rest Assured: If there's one thing we can count on these days, it's that our favorite stories will be dissected, revarnished, rearranged, and thrown back together with barbed wire, creating a Frankenstein's monster of sadness. Skip this movie and just admit that you want to watch High School Musical.
Opinions are like... well, everyone's got one. We know you do too, so share it below.

Springtime is bursting with life and wild animals are breeding. Newborns in the wild are irresistibly cute and if kids find them during their outdoor adventures, they often want to keep the baby animals as pets.
Keeping a wild animal is illegal, unless you have a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit. Newborns need their mothers for survival. Humans can rarely provide the specific food or environment required for a wild baby animal.
Well-intentioned people can do more harm than good by taking baby animals out of their habitat. According to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association, most of the young "rescues" brought to their centers are babies that did not need help.
Dependency on humans can be unhealthy for wild animals, and young animals need to gain experiences in the wild to survive on their own. "If you care, leave them there!" is the recommendation from the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.
Once, my neighbor was mowing the lawn and to her horror she ran over a nest of baby rabbits. Upon closer inspection, all the bunnies were fine, snuggled in their nest, intertwined like an adorable jigsaw puzzle. The nest was a hollow dug out in the ground lined with dry grass and fur. The mom was nowhere in sight, but the bunnies were not abandoned. Even though little bunnies are helpless, the mother rabbit visits the nest at dawn and dusk to feed them, covering the nest with a light layer of grass to hide her babies from predators.
You may find a delicate little fawn in the grass all by itself, but the doe is most likely close by. The fawn�s spotted fur camouflages it from predators. Do not touch the deer, because the smell of humans can drive the mother away. If it has been touched, wipe it with a towel to remove the human scent. Baby foxes, kits, can be found on their own when their mother is out hunting. Like the rabbit, the deer and fox mothers may not return to their babies if they see people or pets nearby, so stay away.
If a baby mammal looks healthy, but abandoned, it is best to get it back to its mother. Put on gloves and gently place the baby back inside the nest/den if you can find it. Stay out of sight and keep pets away. If the mother returns, they are OK. If not, they could be taken to a wildlife rehabilitator.
MassAudubon recommends in most cases to leave birds alone. If you find a bird with scruffy feathers awkwardly hopping on the ground, it is probably a fledgling (about 2 weeks old). It most likely has a parent that will continue to feed it and teach it to fly. If it is in harm�s way, you can place it on a shrub for safety. If a cat or dog is nearby, don�t bring the bird inside to protect it, put the pet inside so that it will not attack the fledgling.
If you find a little bird with no feathers and its eyes are closed, it is a hatchling (zero to 4 days old). It needs to get back to its nest to survive. If you know where the nest is, place it back in its nest. According to MassAudubon, contrary to popular belief, birds will not abandon their young if people have handled them. If you cannot find the nest, place the bird in a shallow woven basket (so that it will not drown if it rains), and secure it with wire to a tree branch nearby the location you found the bird. Hopefully the parents will find the baby. If the bird�s eyes open, but only has a few straggly feathers, it is probably a nestling (4 to 13 days old) and can be treated like a hatchling.
Baby reptiles are not dependent on their mother for food, so they do not need help. However, if you see a snake that got nicked by a lawn mower or a turtle whose shell has been cracked by a car, a wildlife rehabilitator may be able to help the animal.
There are times when a wild baby is truly distressed. These include: if a cat or dog brought the baby animal to you; if it has a broken limb; if it is shivering, vomiting or bleeding; or if there is a dead parent nearby. In these situations, you can contact a wildlife rehabilitator or a vet to find out what to do. Do not feed it or give it water.

Down to Earth: What to do if you find a baby animal
Springtime is bursting with life and wild animals are breeding. Newborns in the wild are irresistibly cute and if kids find them during their outdoor adventures, they often want to keep the baby animals as pets.

Whenever some new wild restaurant opens in Japan, there's a flurry of attention online. And then? Then, these one-trick-pony restaurants often just fade away. But before that happens, somebody needs to take one for the team. Website Yattar News did just that.
The site checked out the Robot Restaurant, which is less a restaurant and more a cabaret. For ¥3,000 (US$38), you get to see the robot show and a bento meal. According to Yattar News, after you enter the joint, you wait in a lounge with a giant female mecha—which you can get your photo taken in! Continuing:
After waiting for about half an hour, we were led down into the second floor basement in preparation for the show. We found our meals waiting for us on trays attached to individual stools—there were no traditional tables in the show area.
That's apparently so patrons will focus on the performance. The two-hour show consisted of ladies singing and dancing. And when they weren't doing that, they were playing the drums.
The robot portion, during which women in bikinis began piloting mecha in, um, bikinis, was apparently only twenty minutes of the show. The site did say that the robots moved smoothly, though (for only twenty minutes, I guess). Still, most of the show is singing, dancing, and drumming—that's it.
However, Yattar News didn't say how the food was. Looking at images online, the food didn't appear delicious—but seemed like something you could buy at convenience store for cheap. So there you go, the Robot Restaurant—neither a restaurant and not much on robots.

When it comes to reviewing food, it seems as though everyone wants to put in their two cents (we're looking at you, Yelpers!). While we think you're entitled to your own opinion, sometimes it's best to leave the true critiquing up to the folks that know cool cuisine best. We're talking about Chicago's top food bloggers — who basically eat for a living.
Now, they're giving us a taste of their palate preferences. The topic du jour? Pizza, a Chicago staple that never gets old. And, trust — these seven experts of eats don't beat around the bush when it comes to dishing on the city's best pies. Any way you slice it, we suggest taking their taste buds for a spin — and then let us know if you like what you chew.

This fact sheet relates to sacroiliac joint injections, a type of back pain relieving injection which is performed at Melbourne Radiology Clinic.�This treatment usually stops pain stemming from an arthritic or inflamed sacroiliac joint by delivering anti-inflammatory medication into the affected area. A CT (Computed Tomography) scan will be used to guide the procedure.
Melbourne Radiology Clinic - Sacroiliac Joint Injection Patient Information Sheet
Sacroiliac joints are at the lower part of the spine, where the sacral spine segments (the part of the spine below the lumbar spine) connect with the pelvic bones flanking the sacrum, known as the iliac bones. The joint is complex, with the lowermost level targeted for injection of cortisone.
Sacroiliac joint pain is often vague and variable, such that it may be difficult to determine whether these joints are causing a patient�s pain or not. As clinical tests for sacroiliac joint pain may be unreliable, frequently a trial injection is performed to see if the pain is alleviated. Other treatment options following a response to a cortisone injection include destroying the nerves which supply the joint with radiofrequency ablation as a longer lasting option.
- There is no specific preparation required.
- We strongly recommend that you bring a responsible person to drive you home afterwards.
Risks of spinal procedures are rare and include:
- Infection: most of these are minor (1-2%), however can be serious (<0.1%) requiring hospital admission, intravenous antibiotics and surgery.
- Bleeding: this is fortunately also rare and common in patients with bleeding disorders and on �blood thinning� medication.
- Nerve damage: from direct needle trauma, or as a consequence of the above mentioned complications.
The Procedure
You will be asked to wear a gown with the selected area of the spine exposed. Spinal injection procedures are completed with you lying face down in a CT scanner. We will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible.
A series of planning images are performed, with the area of needle entry planned on the computer terminal and then marked on your skin. The radiologist will then clean your skin with an antiseptic wash and inject local anaesthetic into the injection site. This results in a stinging sensation which is temporary until the skin becomes numb, usually taking 10-30 seconds.
A fine needle is then passed through the skin and tissues, constantly manipulated under CT guidance until it enters the sacroiliac joint. A mixture of cortisone and local anaesthetic are injected which decrease inflammation and therefore the cause of pain.
Some discomfort will be felt for a short time whilst the cortisone-anaesthetic mixtures distends the joint. The local anaesthetic will then numb the joint. The effects of the treatment vary and it is difficult to predict the duration of pain relief until the procedure is performed. In some people, pain is relieved for months, others years and still for others it produces no relief at all. In the case of the latter, your doctor may recommend an alternative treatment, which may include radiofrequency ablation.
Important information to tell your doctor prior to treatment
Serious side effects are rare, however if you have an existing condition, this must be discussed with your referring doctor before having treatment. People with local skin or systemic infections are at greater risk of having an infection spreading into the spine after spinal injection treatment. Therefore, if you have a skin infection, which may include wounds, boils or rashes, please tell your doctor or arrange to have the procedure performed at a later date.
Following the procedure
At most, you will feel some minor discomfort in the back. As local anaesthetic has been injected into the spine most patients will be pain free. Patients are able to walk freely after the procedure and are observed in the clinic for 10 minutes. Following this, you may be discharged if you are feeling well. You should not drive for the rest of the day. The following day you may return to work and gradually increase your activities.
Please discuss any medical illnesses with your doctor before booking the recommended procedure.
Follow up
The radiologist conducting the spinal injection will send your referring doctor a report.
- Please ensure that you make a follow up appointment with your referring doctor or health care provider to discuss your results.
- Please bring to the clinic, any prior scans (eg. X-rays, ultrasounds, MRI, CT) and reports as these will assist the radiologist in assessing your condition.
- If you have any further queries please call Melbourne Radiology Clinic on (03) 9667 1667 � we are only too happy to help.
- Please note that any referral for a scan is valid at Melbourne Radiology Clinic, even if it has been written on a referral form from another radiology provider.
Whilst every effort is made to keep your appointment time, the special needs of complex cases, elderly and frail patients can cause unexpected delays. Your consideration and patience in these circumstances is appreciated.

I made this to take to church, and I didn't even get to sample it!! Even the crumbs were gone. I used a brownie mix, but made the topping as the recipe is written. I have made it several times and have always got rave reviews. (I have been able to have a piece for myself with subsequent bakings)
Mar 27, 2012
These brownies are amazing!! I can't believe that people rate recipes prior to making them. If you're going to rate something, try it first.
Feb 15, 2012
This recipe gave me idea to make my own with dark choc. brownies and adding coconut pecan frosting into mix than bake. Probably won't frost.....Thanks
Feb 14, 2012
These look good; however, upon examining the recipe, I think I will make some changes before making them for the first time. From the name, I thought they would be more like German Chocolate Cake-tasting brownies. I love German Chocolate Cake, so I plan to use German Chocolate, and for the icing, I am going to use the Coconut-Pecan Icing recipe that is found on the package of the bar of German Chocolate.

(CBS News) We've heard it all before: There's "good" cholesterol, called high-density lipoprotein (HDL), that provides protective benefits against heart attacks and then there's "bad" LDL cholesterol, which raises risk for heart problems in high levels.
A new study finds that HDL cholesterol might not boost your heart health as doctors once thought.
The study looked at the genes of about 170,000 individuals, looking for variations in DNA that earlier research shows naturally raise HDL levels in those who possess them. After looking for these 15 genetic variations - called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - in the participants, the researchers discovered none of these variations actually reduced their risks for having a heart attack, compared with people who didn't have the variations.
For example, carriers of one such SNP, so-called "protein-coding change in the endothelial lipase gene," have HDL levels that are naturally 10 percent higher than most people, an elevation that's expected to reduce heart attack risk by 13 percent. But the study found they in fact had the same risk as non-carriers.
"It's been assumed that if a patient, or group of patients, did something to cause their HDL levels to go up, then you can safely assume that their risk of heart attack will go down," senior author Dr. Sekar Kathiresan, director of preventive cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said in a news release. "This work fundamentally questions that."
Kathiresan told WebMD that HDL remains an important tool for assessing heart disease risk, but the new research raises questions about the benefits of taking medication to raise HDL levels.
Cholesterol in the blood is carried by particles called lipoproteins, which come in different sizes and densities, according to the researchers. There is a well-established connection between elevated LDL levels and heart attack, and decades of research - including genetic studies similar to the new study - paved the way for the development of lipid-lowering drugs known as statins.
But research has been less clear on HDL, since a study more than 30 years ago found the higher levels of HDL a person had, the least likely they were to have a heart attack. Mouse studies since then have reported similar findings, but researchers haven't been able to prove the link conclusively. The new study may provide the clearest evidence yet of the role HDL plays, the researchers said.
"Through our research, we have found that all roads that raise HDL do not always lead to the promise land of reduced risk of heart attack," said study co-author Dr. Benjamin F. Voight, an assistant professor of pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania, said in a university written statement.
Experts commenting on the study appeared to agree with that sentiment.
"The current study tells us that when it comes to HDL we should seriously consider going back to the drawing board, in this case meaning back to the laboratory," Dr. Michael Lauer, director of the division of cardiovascular sciences at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, told The New York Times. "We need to encourage basic laboratory scientists to figure out where HDL fits in the puzzle - just what exactly is it a marker for."
American Heart Association past president Dr. Robert Eckel, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, told WebMD the new research casts more doubt on the strategy of raising HDL to lower heart and stroke risk.
"HDL levels are related to risk, but that doesn't mean that raising HDL is beneficial," he says. "What we do know is that lowering LDL has a big impact on risk, so the take-home message remains, 'Get those LDL numbers down.'"

CU's McKnight predicts big things for TB Tony Jones
BOULDER — I was asking CU wide receiver Scotty McKnight about how the Buffs' running back corps has looked from his vantage point when the team captain, without prompting, started talking about Tony Jones, the true-freshman tailback from New Jersey.
"Tony Jones is going to be a heck of a player," McKnight said.
Jones, 5-foot-7 and 180 pounds, may have to wait until 2011. He could be a redshirt candidate unless there is a rash of injuries in the backfield.
Redshirting can be viewed as a positive, McKnight said.
"I think sometimes that redshirt year is huge for guys," McKnight explained. "I know I needed that year to kind of grow up, even moreso off the field. You learn how to live on your own and get those things down."
Jones starred last fall for Don Bosco Prep, which earned the mythical national high school championship from USA Today. McKnight said you can tell recruits that come from the big, highly successful programs.
"Those guys are a little more polished than guys that come from smaller high schools, for whatever reason, maybe coaching, a bigger weight room," McKnight said. "You'll see guys that didn't have to lift in high school. Heck, at my high school (Tesoro in Orange County, Calif.), I had to be there at 6:15 every morning to lift."

Run Phalcon PHP Framework on Hostgator Shared Hosting Account for PHP 5.3, 5.4 , and 5.5Posted in Hosting on April 16th, 2014 by HanaDaddy – 4 Comments
I received an email from Hostgator that now they provide PHP version 5.3, 5.4 , and 5.5 in my hosting machine.
So I went ahead to enable Phalcon on each of the PHP versions, compiled Phalcon module for each PHP version in my Virualbox CentOS linux.
I noticed that the Phalcon uses much less memory under 5.4 and 5.5. It uses like 1.5 MB under 5.3, and now it uses 800K memory space. Cool!
Speedwise, I can hardly notice much differences, but it did feel that 5.4 and 5.5 are faster than 5.3.
I am sharing them with you! Please enjoy.
Here is working demo of Album O' Rama demo app.
[How to use.]
1. Unzip the zip file into a folder. This will be the custom path to store
php.ini file. The Phalcon module so file is located under the
ext folder.
Let's say the full path of the folder is
2. Edit the
php.ini file and Update the extension path of the phalcon module at the very last line.
3. Copy the
.htaccess file into the root path of your Phalcon application. Make sure that you point the suPHP_ConfigPath to the path where our custom
php.ini is located.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/chris123/php54 <Files php.ini> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> </IfModule>
Latest 2.0.3 version
Phalcon 2.0.3 PHP module for PHP 5.3 under Linux 64bit
Phalcon 2.0.3 PHP module for PHP 5.4 under Linux 64bit
Phalcon 2.0.3 PHP module for PHP 5.5 under Linux 64bit
Old 1.3.1 version
