NFC stands for Near Field Communication. Although the technology has been around for a while, it's just starting to gain prominence in the smartphone market. Chances are that if you've heard of NFC before now, it was probably in reference to mobile payments. Through services like Google Wallet, you can tap your phone at a checkout in order to pay for goods or services. Here's how Google Wallet works.
According to Juniper Research one in four mobile owners in the U.S. and Western Europe will be using NFC for mobile payments by 2017 and worldwide transactions will be worth $180 billion. It might prove to be a great technology for mobile payments, and we will likely see support roll out to more places in the coming months, but that is by no means all that NFC can do. Let's take a look at some of the other possibilities.
Paperless ticketing is a great idea and it makes a lot of sense to enable smartphones to act as tickets. There are already various apps that allow you to buy tickets directly through your smartphone and scan your device to confirm at the venue. NFC could make the whole process that little bit smoother. You could buy tickets for the cinema, a concert, or a football game, and just tap your phone when you arrive. Forget about carrying a bus pass or a card for the subway – just tap your phone at an NFC terminal and away you go.
Parking Meters
This is a great example of something that NFC-enabled phones can vastly improve. San Francisco is adopting NFC parking meters which allow people to pay for their parking directly from their smartphone. You can even get an alert on your phone when your metered time is due to run out and you can opt to pay more into the meter from wherever you are. The benefits of this scenario couldn't be clearer.
Tours or exhibits
Including NFC tags on exhibits or next to paintings in museums or art galleries would allow people to access additional information about whatever it is they're examining. They could point to a simple web page or be linked up to an audio or video app. This idea would work equally well for tours of all kinds. Additional information via NFC tags could be provided on historical landmarks and points of interest anywhere. The Museum of London is already trying NFC for a variety of things to enhance the visitor experience.
Newspapers, flyers, and brochures
Instead of picking up a physical copy of a newspaper on your daily commute you could use NFC to grab a digital copy for your phone. The same thing would work well for flyers, brochures, and even groceries. It would save time and paper. You could also pick up promotional offers and vouchers to use later.
Though this will scare some of you, your NFC-enabled smartphone could store all sorts of personal information about you for sharing. This could include a business card, a resume, or just a basic name and address. Exchanging contact information would be a breeze and you could register an interest in a job with a tap of your phone. Companies could have promotional information or a map of the building available in the lobby for visitors.
Restricted entry
No need to carry an access card for work. You could use your phone as a digital key. This could work for hotels as well. As with mobile payments, you could require the user to enter a PIN for an added layer of security.
Tracking medical patients
You might feel strange about having your medical history on your phone, but it could save a lot of time on visits to the doctor or the hospital. Perhaps that's a step too far, but how about an NFC tracking tag that allows medical staff to plot your journey through the hospital? It could help ensure you receive the correct treatment. It would also speed up the paperwork trail as medical professionals could just scan your tag instead of filling out forms.
NFC could be used to create gaming experiences that allow you to interact with the real world. Nokia has been working on some NFC games. To be honest what they've come up with so far is pretty dull, but the potential is there to create some fun interactive experiences. If some real game developers take an interest then we could see something special.
Programmable tags
With programmable tags like Samsung's TecTiles you can really make use of NFC yourself. We'll be discussing the possibilities of automating your smartphone profiles based on pre-set parameters soon, but imagine being able to tap your phone on an NFC tag (which is essentially a sticker) and autodial a number or send a pre-written text message.
Marketing and replacing QR codes
With QR codes, you can achieve a lot of the same things as you can with NFC tags. Previously, people had to scan a QR code, which involved using an app like Barcode Scanner and using the phone's camera. With NFC, you can just tap your phone on a poster and trigger an app download, a promotional voucher, or a website address. In terms of marketing, NFC can be used in the same way as QR codes, it just makes things easier.
Wireless accessories
There are plenty of Bluetooth accessories for smartphones. How about using NFC instead? There's already a foldable smartphone keyboard using NFC. We could see a new wave of NFC-enabled accessories.
Endless potential
The basic capabilities of NFC allow for a wide range of possible uses and the main point is convenience. You can imagine attending a lecture or a pitch and just tapping your phone to download notes and further information when you leave. Checkout lines could be cleared faster, queues for tickets could be a thing of the past, and further information on a host of things could be a tap away.
It all depends on how quickly NFC is adopted and whether companies see the added value in using it. The latest smartphone releases are all offering NFC. If the iPhone 5 adopts NFC as well, then we can expect it to take off a bit faster.

Iced In
Not cold, wind nor snow deters Frostbite sailors. But ice does.
Most years, the Annapolis Yacht Cub's Frostbite Sailboat Racing series would be in full swing.
Racers layer up for warmth and follow winter safety rules: no walking on the decks (risk of ice) and sufficient crew (at least three adults) to manage a rescue. The Yacht Club keeps a careful eye on the weather, ready to cancel if conditions appear too hazardous. A fleet of motorboats stands by.
On a typical Sunday, 50 to 80 boats might be out racing in the four-decade-old winter competition.
Why, you ask?
"There's fewer folks on the water; it's more peaceful. The racing is less complicated, with less crew and fewer sails, so you can focus on more tactics and strategy," says Joe Krolak of Annapolis, a Frostbite racer for over 20 years.
This winter, sailboats are trapped in their creeks by sheets of ice. Have been all Frostbite season which begins in November.
"This is as bad as I've ever seen it," says Krolak, who normally races his J-29, Blue Lunch, with a crew of friends who've sailed together since their days at Annapolis High School. "In previous years, we might have lost a week here or there. Never the entire series."
For now, they're watching the Olympics, like everybody else.
The first Sunday it thaws, Severn River here they come. They've still got one Sunday in February and five in March.

We may only have one capital-M Moon, which affects our tides and causes our hearts to swell with love on summer nights, but we have a lot of rocks orbiting us. Find out about the many moons we pay no attention to.
The Earth almost never has only one cold space rock orbiting it. According to researchers at the University of Helsinki, the University of Hawaii, and the Paris Observatory, we are inundated with tiny temporary mini-moons at almost every point during our orbit. These were ignored until now, mostly because it was hard to spot them, some of them being only about a few feet wide. Once people did start spotting the wee little shiners, they began to wonder how many were out there at any one time.
These are, as stated before, temporary moons. We might be all the more proud of them for that, knowing that the Earth's gravity steals them away from their orbits around the sun for a space of a year or so. But in the end, they always go back. The problem of figuring out how many, if any, there were at any one time became gauging how many objects the Earth drew in, versus how short their stay would be.
The researchers garnered a supercomputer and tried to figure out exactly how asteroids move past Earth. They calculated the path of ten million virtual asteroids, trying to see which ones ventured close. They paid special attention to the 18,000 of these simulated asteroids that were drawn in by Earth's gravity. The mini moons would not orbit peacefully. They twisted around Earth in complicated paths before zooming off. At last the researchers came to the conclusion that, at any point in time, there is at least one other moon in the sky. This includes only moons with the diameter of one meter or larger. Smaller objects could be orbiting as well.
Our most famous mini-moon was 2006 RH120, a lump of rock the size of a car that twisted around the Earth in 2006. Perhaps whatever is orbiting out there now, is larger. It won't be there for long, though. Anyone who sat through high school English remembers Juliet telling Romeo, when he swears his love for her, "Swear not by the moon! The inconstant moon!" She was righter than she knew.

About primaboincaPRIMABOINCA is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to search for a counterexample to some conjectures.
This project concerns itself with two hypotheses in number theory. Both are conjectures for the identification of prime numbers. The first conjecture (Agrawal's Conjecture) was the basis for the formulation of the first deterministic prime test algorithm in polynomial time (AKS algorithm). Hendrik Lenstras and Carl Pomerances heuristic for this conjecture suggests that there must be an infinite number of counterexamples. So far, however, no counterexamples are known. This hypothesis was tested for n < 1010 without having found a counterexample. The second conjecture (Popovych's conjecture) adds a further condition to Agrawals conjecture and therefore logically strengthens the conjecture. If this hypothesis would be correct, the time of a deterministic prime test could be reduced from O(log N)6 (currently most efficient version of the AKS algorithm) to O(log N)3.

Treatments and cures
Both-type iron lung, London, England, 1950-1955
The iron lung
British Sign Language description
Audio description
How do you cure a disease? How do you avoid getting ill in the first place? Historically, medical practitioners and lay people have resorted to a wide variety of measures to combat illness, from drugs and surgery to magic and exercise. Your choice of treatment may depend on what substances and techniques are available, and on the practitioner's experience. Many herbal remedies, for instance, were used because the plants were known to have curative powers, although practitioners could not always explain why the plant had a positive effect on the patient.
People's thoughts on the causes of disease
Importantly, the development of treatments and cures through time was also shaped by how people thought disease was caused, and how they thought about the body. Accordingly, treatments could target the body (using drugs or physical methods such as surgery), the mind (as in hypnosis or psychotherapy) or external influences such as evil spirits (in magical healing practices).
Magic and curing disease
In cultures where people thought that disease was caused by demons or evil spirits, magic was considered the best remedy. Many societies had shamans who would employ magic to cure disease. In addition people tried to protect themselves using magical objects such as amulets. On the other hand, when you know that a certain disease is caused by germs, you might consider vaccination as a means of protection.
Balance in the body: different cultural ideas
Your treatment may also depend on how you think about the body. Many theories of health and disease are based on the notion of achieving balance in the body. Diverse cultures in ancient Greece, and in medieval Islam, India and China all developed concepts of humours - basic fluids which make up the body. In this framework, maintaining balance between the humours aims to prevent disease. The measures which could be used to restore balance were numerous; humoralist physicians in Ancient Greece and Rome, such as Galen, recommended a range of treatments from physical methods such as exercise to a change in diet.
Change and continuity of treatments
Some traditional forms of treatment survived for a long time. Bloodletting was one of the most widely practised measures from Ancient Greece until the 1800s. However, while the method remained the same, the explanations for why it worked changed. A Greek physician in 200 BCE might justify bloodletting on the basis of humoral theory as getting rid of excess blood, for instance. His early modern colleague, thinking about the body as a hydraulic system of pumps, would argue that he used the same measure to lower the pressure in the 'machine'.
Science and treatment
With the practice of alchemy in the Renaissance, scientists such as Paracelsus began to think about the body as a chemical system. They started using new chemicals, minerals and metals such as mercury to supplement traditional herbal drugs. In the 1700s the new science of electricity prompted people to imagine the body as an electrical machine, and to develop electrotherapy, administering electric shocks to combat afflictions such as epilepsy and paralysed limbs. In the 20th century scientists investigated genes as causes of disease, and they now develop methods of gene therapy.
New technology, new techniques
The advancement of medical treatments was caused not just by changing ideas, but also by changing practices and technological possibilities. Developments in science and technology opened up new forms of treatment. In the 1800s and early 1900s, new techniques of analytical and synthetic chemistry enabled scientists to isolate medically valuable substances, such as morphine and insulin, and to produce them on a large scale.
Ehrlich's new approach - chemotherapy
Motivated by the successes and limits of vaccination and the germ theory, in the early 1900s scientist Paul Ehrlich began to develop a new approach which he called chemotherapy. Ehrlich sought to produce chemicals which were poisonous to the germ, but relatively harmless for the patient - a new direction of medical science which eventually led to the development of important new treatments such as antibiotics.
The range of treatments available today
Through the ages, practitioners and lay people have developed new treatments and drugs, or imported them from other cultures. Thus, today the medical marketplace offers a variety of choices to a patient, from pharmaceuticals to acupuncture. People wishing to treat their depression, for instance, can choose between traditional herbal remedies such as St John's wort, newly developed pharmaceutical drugs, non-physical treatments such as psychotherapy, or a combination of these. For severe diseases, patients usually receive a combination of treatments. After the Second World War (1939-45), cancer treatment came to include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Modern biomedical research investigates the possibilities of gene therapies, for instance for the treatment of degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

The idea and commands in this article submitted by Jacques Wagener via email. In his own words, "After nuking my partition by accident (and through my stupidity) I was really disappointed in myself, especially in losing my bookmarks and rss-feeds". The following article is based upon our email communication. I am just putting them as an article.
We have already written about ext2/ext3 file repair using fsck and other utilities. Linux comes with different filesystems and different repair utilities. To repair a ReiserFS filesystem you need to run reiserfsck command, which is a checking tool for the ReiserFS filesystem (just like fsck command for ext2/ext3 file system).
Reiserfsck searches for a Reiserfs filesystem on a device, replays any necessary transactions, and either checks or repairs the file system. ReiserFS saves data or log in a special file for pending disk updates and later on it commit updates to disk resulting into very good filesystem consistency.
Step # 1: Install reiserfsck
You need to install reiserfsprogs package, which includes reiserfsck user level tools for ReiserFS filesystems.
# apt-get install reiserfsprogs
Or if you are using RedHat/Fedor Core Linux:
# yum install reiserfsprogs
Step # 2: Backup partition/disk
Take system down to runlevel 1.
# init 1
Unmount /dev/sda1 (if it is still mounted as read/write only):
# umount /dev/sda1; umount /dev/sda2
Before using any one of the following command you are strongly advised to make a backup copy of the whole partition using dd or ddrescue (recommended) command.
# ddrescue /dev/sda /dev/sdb
OR use dd command:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb conv=noerror
Step # 3: Check filesystem consistency
Above command makes a backup of your drive. Next check filesystem consistency which will reports problem to you with the following command (assuming that /dev/sda1 is your partition):
# reiserfsck --check /dev/sda1
If you get an error Bad root block 0If you get following message:
Running with –rebuild-tree is required
Then you need to run following command rebuilds the entire filesystem tree using leaf nodes found on the device (this is nothing but indication of corrupted :
# reiserfsck --scan-whole-partition --rebuild-tree /dev/sda1
- –scan-whole-partition: This option causes –rebuild-tree to scan the whole partition but not only the used space on the partition. You should always use this option with –rebuild-tree.
- –check: Checks filesystem consistency and reports, but does not repair any corruption that it finds.
- –rebuild-tree: This option rebuilds the entire filesystem tree using leaf nodes found on the device. Once you passed this option, do not stop or interrupt building operating.
Recovering corrupted superblock
Each file system has a superblock, which contains information about file system such as:
- File system type
- Size
- Status

If this information lost, you are in trouble (data loss) so Linux maintains multiple redundant copies of the superblock in every file system.
During check (reiserfsck –check /dev/sda1) if you get an error superblock was missing, use following command to fix superblock:
# reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/sda1
- –rebuild-sb: This option recovers the superblock on a Reiserfs partition. Normally you only need this option if mount reports "read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs file system".

Indians, Bourn agree on four-year deal
Criticized for not spending enough on free agents in recent years, the Indians splurged on another star.
The club agreed to terms Monday with outfielder Michael Bourn on a four-year, $48 million contract. It's the second major deal this winter for the Indians, who signed free agent Nick Swisher to a four-year, $56 million contract in January.
Bourn, who was an All-Star with Atlanta last season, must pass a physical later this week in Goodyear, Ariz., before the deal can be completed. Bourn batted .274 with nine homers, 57 RBIs and 42 steals last season for the Braves. It's not yet known when Bourn will have his medical exam.
As long as there isn't a hang-up, the 30-year-old Bourn, who has remained on the market all winter, will move into the Indians' starting lineup. The speedster played center field last season and would give an immediate boost to a Cleveland team that has reloaded with the acquisition of Swisher, manager Terry Francona and starter Brett Myers.
Fox Sports first reported Bourn's deal.
Bourn, a two-time All-Star, Gold Glove winner and three-time steals leader in the NL, had also been pursued by the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.
Getting Bourn will cost the Indians picks in June's amateur draft. But it's a small price for a player who will help them score more runs, improve their attendance - Cleveland averaged just 19,797 fans at home - and maybe even close the gap on Detroit in the AL Central.
The surprise signing caught one of Bourn's new teammates off guard.
"Did we just sign Michael Bourn?" second baseman Jason Kipnis asked on his Twitter page.
Bourn, a .272 career hitter in seven seasons with Philadelphia, Houston and Atlanta, could wind up in a starting outfield alongside Swisher and Michael Brantley. The Indians also acquired center fielder Drew Stubbs in a trade with Cincinnati, giving Francona options and depth. It's possible Swisher could be moved to first or even be used as the club's designated hitter. Mark Reynolds, also signed during the offseason, can play first or DH.
The deal for Bourn also comes after the Indians signed slugger Jason Giambi and pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka to minor league deals this last weekend. Matsuzaka must still pass a physical with the club.
The Indians collapsed in the second half last season, finishing 68-94 and 20 games behind the first-place Tigers. Manager Manny Acta was fired after Cleveland lost at least 90 games for the third time in four seasons.
But beginning with the hiring of Francona, the Indians have shown they're not going to sit around and wait for things to improve.

"Palin is by no means politically unnuanced. Quite the contrary, she is as politically savvy as they come, whether on the domestic or international front. Her speeches during the recent congressional elections were not only unteleprompted barnburners in the best populist tradition, but revealed a meticulous command of the domestic issues currently bedeviling the nation as well as a finely nuanced understanding of America's pancreatic failures in international diplomacy. She displays a far more realistic perspective on the Middle East and has far more accurately taken the measure of America's geopolitical competitors, particularly Russia and China, than anyone in the Democratic administration.
"But is Palin electable? The next two years will determine whether she will be able to counter the slanderous media campaign against her candidacy and her competence, and so convince enough people that she has the right stuff to lead the country in perhaps its most perilous historical moment since the Civil War. Clearly, she suffers more than her share of antagonists among the megabuck left and their myriad satellites, Ivy League academics, mainstream journalists, public intellectuals, union impresarios and henchmen, and the entitlement-addicted segment of the public. They are terrified of her. She even has the panjandrums in the Republican old guard shaking in their Guccis.
"As Victor Volsky writes in American Thinker, 'in the eyes of the political/cultural aristocracy, [Palin] is the embodiment of its worst nightmare: the revolt of the masses against their masters.' And she knows that the master class will mobilize its considerable reserves against her. The question is whether, by sheer force of character, will, and charisma, like an American version of Delacroix's Marianne leading the charge at the electoral barricades, and by pursuing a tireless itinerary, she can prevail against overwhelming odds and bring to the American people authentic change and genuine hope for the future."
"Yes, she did give at least a couple of Serious Policy Speeches, but I don't get the sense that they got any traction at all, not with all of the tweets and the reality shows and the books stuff with platitudes. Her fans, of course, never needed convincing, but for the rest — and, here, I'm really focused on Republicans — is there anyone who wrote her off as a lightweight who is now giving her a new look because of her speech on the Fed? I very much doubt it. As for proving herself trustworthy to interest group leaders and Republican politicians, well, I haven't seen any reporting that even hinted at that. She had some notable good calls in the 2010 contest, such as in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, but just as many bad, or just odd, endorsements. I can't imagine that the Joe Miller fiasco helped, either.
"Mostly, she's giving every indication that if she formally enters the race, she intends to run as a factional candidate by mobilizing her personal loyalists. That was a viable strategy in the 1970s, perhaps, at least on the Democratic side, but it's highly unlikely that a factional candidate can win now in a coalition-style nominating process.
"It's not too late for her, but it's getting closer, I think."
"DeMint backed Romney in the 2008 presidential primary — but said he's got 'an open mind' about 2012…
"Palin, for one, has never talked to DeMint before, even though they hail from the same part of the ideological spectrum and are considered heroes of the tea party movement.
"'We've never spoken, but she left me a nice message, and I believe she's done more for the Republican Party than anyone since Ronald Reagan,' he said."
"On balance, these factors look somewhat less favorable to Ms. Palin than they did a year ago. In particular, it should be alarming to her how quickly some figures in the Republican establishment have turned against her. It is probably not a coincidence that these attacks began to escalate shortly after this November's elections, in which Republicans were perceived as having sacrificed several Senate seats, like in Delaware and Nevada, because of having nominated unelectable candidates.
"Meanwhile — after an interim period in which she seemed to be playing the role of the happy warrior, endorsing and raising money for Republican candidates — Ms. Palin recently seems to have become less selective about the arguments that she is engaging in. Her choice to attack Ms. Obama's anti-obesity initiatives, for instance, suggests that she is either not listening to advice or that her advisers are not highly competent. Instead, she should be erring on the side of turning the other cheek: one thing that has generally been true is that presidential candidates who project a sunnier, more optimistic disposition tend to outlast those that come across as angrier. This may be especially important for Ms. Palin, who is always a lightning-rod for criticism; she doesn't need to instigate any conflicts that she isn't already engaged in.
"Still, Ms. Palin has some unique strengths, like her ability to use new media to attract the political world's attention virtually at her whim. It remains conceivable, also, that the attacks that Ms. Palin will receive from members of the Republican establishment — and those which she will eventually begin to receive from other Republican Presidential contenders — could be turned to her advantage if she manages them in the right way, considering the anti-establishment mood in some corners of the party."

Liberty-minded firearm companies concerned about recent assaults on the gun rights of law-abiding citizens by Obama and others are taking action to defend the Second Amendment even if it means lost revenue, with several major firms announcing that they would no longer be supplying equipment to hostile state and local governments or their police forces. Both New York and California — where out-of-touch politicians continue to trample on citizens' constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms — have become primary targets. Activists and the companies are urging others to join the effort against more gun control now.
Among the manufacturers that have publicly announced their plans to prohibit sales to anti-Second Amendment authorities so far are LaRue Tactical, Olympic Arms, Extreme Firepower (EFI, LLC), and Barrett Firearms. All four firms, in solidarity with citizens in jurisdictions victimized by a lawless political class that refuses to uphold the Constitution, have expressed strong support for Americans' unalienable rights. Gun rights activists nationwide rushed to celebrate the companies' valor.
If citizens cannot purchase certain guns or accessories in places such as California, Chicago, or New York, then authorities cannot either, the companies essentially announced. In a press release posted online on Tuesday praising the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Olympic Arms President Brian Schuetz urged all firearm manufacturers to join the boycott effort, saying that they should stand together to repel politicians' hostile assaults on the rights of citizens.
"Olympic Arms is a staunch believer in and defender of the Constitution of the United States, and with special attention paid to the Bill of Rights that succinctly enumerates the security of our Divinely given Rights. One of those Rights is that to Keep and Bear Arms," Schuetz said in the statement, which was widely lauded by gun rights activists. "Olympic Arms invites all firearms manufacturers, distributors and firearms dealers to join us in this action to refuse to do business with the State of New York. We must stand together, or we shall surely fall divided."
According to the major Washington State-based gun manufacturer, which also supplies all branches of the U.S. armed forces, legislation passed in New York purporting to outlaw AR15s and a wide range of other firearms is unconstitutional. The so-called "NY SAFE Act" — a bill that has sparked what analysts say may be the largest act of civil disobedience in state history, with potentially tens of thousands of citizens or more refusing to comply — also ignores recent Supreme Court rulings, the company said.
Due to the passing of the unconstitutional legislation, the company announced that the State of New York, law enforcement departments, police officers, state government entities, and all government employees in the state would no longer be served as customers. "In short, Olympic Arms will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York — henceforth and until such legislation is repealed, and an apology made to the good people of the State of New York and the American people," the press release explained.
Schuetz also said that if the political class was willing to limit the gun rights of free and law-abiding citizens of New York in spite of the Second Amendment, lawmakers and government entities in New York should have to abide by the same restrictions. There is also a deeply troubling moral element to the state government's latest assault on the rights of law-abiding citizens, which are enshrined in the state Constitution using language even stronger — "cannot be infringed" — than that found in the Second Amendment.
"This action has caused a division of the people into classes: Those the government deems valuable enough to protect with modern firearms, and those whose lives have been deemed as having less value, and whom the government has decided do not deserve the right to protect themselves with the same firearms," Schuetz said. "Olympic Arms will not support such behavior or policy against any citizen of this great nation."
Another major, respected firm that joined in the effort to rein in lawless politicians' assaults on the right to keep and bear arms is LaRue Tactical, which manufactures a broad range of parts and firearm accessories. In a press release posted over the weekend, the Texas-based firm — described by analysts as "a company of patriots" — also announced that it would apply all state and local restrictions imposed on the rights of citizens to the governments and agencies imposing the unconstitutional infringements.
"Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies," company chief Mark LaRue said in the statement. "Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement/ government agencies."
LaRue also noted that it takes seriously the constitutionally guaranteed rights of citizens, as well as the efforts of state and local officials to restrict those rights. "We realize this effort will have an impact on this firm's sales — and have decided the lost sales are less danger to this firm than potential lawsuits from erroneous shipments generated by something as simple as human error," the statement concluded.
While the loss of revenue from the move may be significant, gun rights activists have showered the company with applause for its courageous stand — and some commentators expect the bold move to earn new customers for the firm that could minimize the financial impact. Activists, meanwhile, are urging gun rights supporters to contact other firearm manufacturers that do still sell to New York government agencies and encourage them to take a similar stand.
"The Second Amendment has always had fair-weather friends. LaRue Tactical, manufacturers of firearms and firearm accessories, is one company that will never be accused of being our fair-weather friend," noted the liberty-minded Grass Roots North Carolina organization in a statement praising the move and identifying companies such as Glock, Smith & Wesson, and SIG Sauer that should join the effort. "Will other firearm manufacturers have the guts to stand up like LaRue and Barrett do?"
Another company that has joined the effort to defend the Second Amendment, Extreme Firepower (EFI, LLC), recently updated the government-sales policies on its website to explain its restrictions on selling to anti-gun rights authorities. Announcing the move on Facebook in January, the firm encouraged people to support boycotting sales to towns, counties, states, and even the federal government if they refuse to respect the right to keep and bear arms. It also warned other manufacturers that they may face boycotts themselves if they put profits over citizens' rights.
"The Federal Government and several states have enacted gun control laws that restrict the public from owning and possessing certain types of firearms. Law-enforcement agencies are typically exempt from these restrictions," the firm notes on its website. "EFI, LLC does not recognize law-enforcement exemptions to local, state, and federal gun control laws. If a product that we manufacture is not legal for a private citizen to own in a jurisdiction, we will not sell that product to a law-enforcement agency in that jurisdiction."
California is specifically mentioned on the policy page, with EFI stating that it will not, "under any circumstances," sell its products to law enforcement or state agencies until the legislature repeals its unconstitutional gun control laws. Other governments prohibited from purchasing the firm's reputable equipment include New York State as well as the City of Chicago and Washington, D.C. — jurisdictions with among the most draconian infringements on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
The recent surge in companies refusing to do business with lawless governments hostile to citizens' rights may have been partly inspired by Ronnie Barrett, owner and CEO of Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. His company, which produces among the most popular .50-caliber weapons in the world, refused to sell the firearms to officials or agencies in California after lawmakers there some years ago banned civilian ownership of the high-caliber guns.
"It's hard to believe we live in such a dark time that someone has actually banned a single shot rifle. But as you will see, this is the cleverest of all gun bans, and the end goal is civilian disarmament, the confiscation of your tools of liberty, your rifles," the respected CEO wrote in a piece at the time explaining his company's boycott. "Barrett cannot legally sell any of its products to lawbreakers. Therefore, since California's passing of AB50, the state is not in compliance with the US Constitution's 2nd and 14th Amendments, and we will not sell nor service any of our products to any government agency of the State of California."
Gun rights activists celebrated the decisions of the four companies to stand up for the rights of Americans. Analysts expect more firms to stand up soon, noting that otherwise, gun owners may choose to purchase from other manufacturers in the future. Across America, state governments, sheriffs, and even some city and county governments are working hard to protect the right to keep and bear arms regardless of any unconstitutional federal "laws" or edicts from President Obama to the contrary. Activists say it is time for all gun makers to join the effort or potentially face a boycott themselves.

Additional excerpts from our Tony Kushner interview
In Friday's Denver Post, Tony Kushner discusses his play, "Homebody/Kabul," which opens in its regional premiere Saturday at Denver's Curious Theatre. It was a wide-ranging interview that inevitably touched on far more topics than could make that story. Such as the prescient nature of the play, and his opinions on everything from the seeds of 9/11 to Sarah Palin (he calls her "the true daughter of Ronald Reagan — she just doesn't have as good of handlers as he had").
Here are additional excerpts from the interview, which Kushner graciously conducted from Louisiana "on three days of no sleep," following word that his father has taken ill.

Tapas with the Swedish Food bloggersMonday, February 27th, 2006
Last Friday I went to a food blogging dinner at the tapas restaurant La Cucharacha where 10 of the Swedish food bloggers met in real life: Christopher and Niclas from Matblogg, Ilva from Lucullian Delights / Aglio e Olio (who was on a temporary visit in Sweden), Kinna from Kinnas Blogg – Mormors Mat, Elin, Helena and Maria from Tre Tjejer i Köket, Lena from Koala and Frida from Broccoli . Unfortunately Anne from Anne's food was ill and there were also more food bloggers that couldn't come. We had a great evening and it was really nice to meet everyone, especially for me who's new in town. We discussed all sorts of things, including food of course and we also talked about having a Swedish variant of Paper chef. Unfortunately I still havn't found/packed up my battery charger, so I didn't take any photos. But you can see a lot of photos from the lovely dinner at Matblogg .

Rhubarb and Apple CrumbleWednesday, May 30th, 2007
Last Sunday I finally decided to harvest my rhubarb plant. As the plant was beautiful it was actually quite sad, but I hope that more stalks will grow up this and coming years. After trimming the stalks I only ended up with 300 grams of rhubarb. So what to do with 300 grams of precious home grown rhubarb? I recalled a rhubarb crumble recipe from the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, apparently a Gordon Ramsay recipe, which I modified and then baked.
I served the crumble with vanilla custard and it was very appreciated by the boys (my husband and his friend). I've improvised with hazelnuts in my crumble toppings before and they give a really chunky and delicious crumble. The filling was creamy and tasty but I thought that something was missing, maybe more spices or more rhubarb? Probably more rhubarb! The others just devoured the crumble with ooohs and aaahs while watching the latest episode of Jamie at home.
- Rhubarb and Apple Crumble
(Source: Gordon Ramsay via Svenska Dagbladet and then modified)
300 gram fresh rhubarb stalks, trimmed from leaves
400 gram apples
1 tbsp butter
1.5 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp fresh ginger, very finely grated
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1.5 tbsp raspberry syrup
50 gram hazelnuts
350 ml flour
150 gram butter
2.5 tbsp demerara sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees C.
Cut the rhubarb in 2 cm long chunks. Peel the apples and cut them in 2 cm chunks. Put the fruit in a sauce pan together with the butter, honey, ginger, cinnamon and syrup. Heat and let simmer for a few minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Don't let the fruit become too soft though.
Pour the fruit filling in a baking pan.
Roast the hazelnuts in a dry warm frying pan for a few minutes. Remove from heat and place the hazelnuts in a clean and dry kitchen towel. Rub the nuts in the towel to remove the outer papery inner skin. Chop the hazelnuts coarsly.
Place the demerara sugar, butter, flour and hazelnuts in a bowl. With the tips of your fingers rub the ingredients together until you have a crumbly mixture. Cover the fruit with the crumbles and bake for 25 minutes until the topping is nicely browned.
Serve luke warm with vanilla custard.

Lakers to add Jerry Buss memorial patch to jerseys
The Lakers will wear a memorial patch to honor longtime owner Jerry Buss. (Uniwatch)
By Ben Golliver
The Lakers announced Tuesday that a memorial patch will be added to their jerseys in honor of longtime owner Jerry Buss, who died Monday at the age of 80.
The patch design includes Buss' initials in yellow inside a purple circle and a black outer ring. The patch will be on the right shoulder of the team's uniforms. The Lakers plan to sell the patches in their team store and donate the proceeds to the Lakers Youth Foundation. ESPN.com's Uniwatch created a graphic with the patch design and the jersey look, which can be seen above.
The Lakers will host the Celtics at the Staples Center on Wednesday night.
Buss owned the Lakers from 1979 until his death, overseeing 10 championship teams.
His family announced his passing after a battle with cancer in a statement.
"We not only have lost our cherished father, but a beloved man of our community and a person respected by the world basketball community," a statement released on behalf of the Buss family said.
Dr. Buss had been hospitalized much of the past 18 months in a battle which "showed his amazing strength and will to live. It was our father's often stated desire and expectation that the Lakers remain in the Buss family. The Lakers have been our lives as well and we will honor his wish and do everything in our power to continue his unparalleled legacy," the statement concluded.
The NBA world expressed an outpouring of condolences on Monday and a number of his colleagues issued statements mourning his passing. Here's a sampling.
NBA commissioner David Stern: "The NBA has lost a visionary owner whose influence on our league is incalculable and will be felt for decades to come. More importantly, we have lost a dear and valued friend. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time."
Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "When someone as celebrated and charismatic as Jerry Buss dies, we are reminded of two things. First, just how much one person with vision and strength of will can accomplish. Second, how fragile each of us is, regardless of how powerful we were. Those two things combine to inspire us to reach for the stars, but also to remain with our feet firmly on the ground among our loved ones. Dr.Buss embodied that compassionate entrepreneurial spirit. He strove to reach greater heights without forgetting his community roots. During his stewardship, the Lakers exemplified his personal standards of excellence and became one of the dominant teams in the NBA and a force of good within the community. The man may be gone, but he has made us all better people for knowing him."
Heat president Pat Riley: "Today, in the world of sports, we have lost a true giant. Jerry Buss was more than just an owner. He was one of the great innovators that any sport has ever encountered. He was a true visionary and it was obvious with the Lakers in the 80's that 'Showtime' was more than just Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was really the vision of a man who saw something that connected with a community. I was privileged to be part of that for 10 years and even more grateful for the friendship that has lasted all these many years.I have always come to realize that if it weren't for Dr. Buss, I wouldn't be where I am today. I owe my start in professional coaching to him, and I will always hold him and his memory in the highest of regards. Chris and I truly love Jerry Buss. He was a great friend and will be missed."
Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf: "We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Jerry Buss, Los Angeles Lakers owner and member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Over the decades he made significant contributions to the game of basketball and built one of the premier franchises in the NBA. Many of his ideas not only brought about change within our sport, but also revolutionized aspects of the business of all professional sports. On behalf of the Chicago Bulls organization, we express our sincere condolences to the Buss family and the Lakers organization."

How to burn QuickTime MOV clips onto DVD disc?
"How do you burn MOV clip onto DVD disc? Recently I bought my new iPhone 4S and with its inbuilt-camera, I record lots of videos of my daily life, even some comic plays. When I copy all videos onto my Mac computer and wanna burn them into a DVD disc for my favorite. I do not have iDVD. All videos taken by iPhone 4 are saved as .mov format, so i need a MOV to DVD Burner tool to help me. Any suggestions? Thanks!"
Well, to burn MOV movies to DVD on Mac, the freeware which is good to use is iDVD. However, newly bought Mac computer doesn't include iDVD anymore. So you will have to find an alternative software. Please note that if you plan to play them on a standard DVD player, you will need to convert them to VOB (DVD Format). DVD Creator for Mac is such a professional MOV to DVD Creator that is capable of burning QuickTime MOV to DVD. Believe me, this is the easiest solution that you can find to burn DVDs in fast speed and high quality. You may follow the step-by-step guide and see how the software amazes you.
Step 1 Download and Install Mac DVD Creator
Firstly, you will need to download and install this program on your Mac by clicking the link below. If you want to burn DVDs on Windows computer, you can download and use DVD Creator which is the best tool for DVD creating on Windows. Easy to use and totally reliable.
Free Download DVD Creator
Free Download DVD Creator for Mac
Step 2 Import QuickTime MOV Files
You can do this by either clicking on "+" to find your source videos or dragging & dropping your target files into the program. If you have multiple clips and wish to get them onto one DVD disc, you can add them all and burn them together as long as your DVD disc has enough space for them.
(Tips: If you have too many clips for a DVD disc, buy a Duel Layer DVD which holds 8.5GB. Or yes, burn them on multiple Standard (4.7GB) DVD's.)
Step 3 Personalize DVD Movies (Optional)
Apart from the main feature of burning, this program lets you do more than you can imagine. Click on "Menu" tab, you can choose one style as the DVD menu. You can also edit the MOV files by cropping, trimming to fit your need. Or you can simply ignore this and go to the next step.
Step 4 Burn QuickTime MOV Videos to DVD
Once done with every setting, you can insert your blank DVD disc into your DVD burner drive and click on the Burn icon. Then the program will go begin the MOV movies DVD converting and burning task.
OK, you may wait for a while till the MOV DVD burning is completed. After that, you can watch the disc on your home DVD player, Xbox, or simply for backup. Have fun.

The Barrow Atmospheric Baseline Observatory (BRW), established in 1973, is located on the northern most point of the United States. It is about 8 km northeast of the village of Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow) Alaska, and has a prevailing east-northeast wind off the Beaufort Sea. Although the measurements at BRW are made over open tundra, there are large lagoons and a number of lakes in the vicinity, and the Arctic Ocean is less than 3 km northwest of the site. Because of its proximity to these bodies of water and the fact that the prevailing winds are off the Beaufort Sea, BRW is perhaps best characterized as having an Arctic maritime climate affected by variations of weather and sea ice conditions in the Central Arctic.
This facility is staffed year round by 2 engineers/scientists to complete routine inspections and maintenance of the instruments. Due to its unique location, dedicated and highly trained staff, and excellent power and communications infrastructure, the Barrow Atmospheric Baseline Observatory is host to numerous cooperative research projects from around the world.Current Weather Live Camera Construction Camera News Items

observant necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 133 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
At Observant we are building a new generation of hardware and software tools to help organisations manage precious natural resources like water, energy, land and animals. We love simplicity, but know that the world can be complex. Our job is to help people deal with that. We take information from lots of remote places and make it accessible & useful.
The data we capture need to be presented to our audience in a compelling & visual way. Data visualisation is a big theme for us, and we need this to come across in our web site.
There are several key audiences we want to communicate with. Many of our visitors will be farmers, looking for solutions to help them more efficiently manage their water and land. Some visitors will be aware of our brand, but not know much about what we do. We want to give people a quick idea of the variety of solutions we offer, and entice them further in to the web site to get more details and make contact with us or one of our regional resellers.
We have solutions for agriculture, for dairy supply chain, we work with partners in waste water management and environmental monitoring . We want visitor to recognise themselves, or the solution they are after, and then click to learn more.
We need a new front page first and foremost.
Our current web site, http://observant.com.au/ does not pack enough punch on the landing.
The attached wireframe shows some early ideas we have worked on to that end. We need the front page to appeal to a wider audience, and talk more about what we do & the problems we solve in different industries.
We are not looking to redefine our branding, and the basic visual design of our branding and web site are great. We are not happy with the way the landing page communicates with visitors, and the are several structural elements that just don't work.
The front page redesign needs to deliver a much better sense of our overall portfolio, and be more focused around solutions and have strong calls to action. For a byline, we like "simple monitoring solutions to save water, money and time"
The current site has 4 main page types, and whilst those work reasonably well, navigation between them is poor. In particular the navigation "chrome" for the whole site does not work well, and is not up the standard of "elegant simplicity" that we're after.
Our current site uses Joomla and we'll likely stay with that. The successful design will need to be turned in to Joomla templates, but we'll handle that separately.
There should be plenty of assets that can be reused from the current web site.

The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates coined the term 'cancer' after the shape of crab-like extensions of veins from tumours. Explanations of the origin of cancer reflect the medical theories of their time. In ancient Greece and Rome, doctors argued that cancer was caused by humoral imbalances. In the Renaissance, advocates of iatrochemistry such as Paracelsus preferred explanations based on chemical origins. In the 1800s advances in microscopy allowed scientists to observe diseases at the cell level, and they found that cancer was the abnormally rapid, uncontrolled growth of cells in the body, invading and damaging healthy body tissue in the process.
For thousands of years, the treatment of cancer was mostly restricted to the surgical removal of tumours, rarely resulting in the patient's recovery. Following the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of the radioactive element radium in 1898, scientists noticed that some forms of radiation could be used to destroy cancer cells, and they promoted radiotherapy as a new form of cancer treatment. In the 1940s and 1950s researchers developed chemotherapy as a cancer treatment. However, both radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain problematic to the present day. Radiation and chemicals used to destroy cancer cells also damage normal cells in the body, leading to side effects including vomiting and hair loss.
Today researchers are trying to develop other forms of treatment such as the use of genetically engineered antibodies and hormones. At present, cancer patients are usually treated with a combination of different methods.
