(CBS News) A retired Navy SEAL who was present at the killing of Osama bin Laden tells Scott Pelley in a 60 Minutes interview that his book about the raid is not a political statement, rather it is timed to commemorate the 9/11 attack and give credit to the hundreds of people whose work made the mission a success. The former SEAL Team 6 member, who uses the pseudonym Mark Owen, will appear in his first interview on 60 Minutes, Sunday Sept. 9 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
As a security measure, CBS News will not identify "Owen" in any reports about his account of the raid; his face and voice were disguised for his 60 Minutes interview. His book about the raid, "No Easy Day," will be available next week. The following is an excerpt that appeared on the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley:
He calls himself Mark Owen. That's not his real name. We've disguised him and will keep his name confidential for his own safety. Owen was on the helicopter that crashed in bin Laden's compound. He was the second man in the room when bin Laden was shot, he took the photographs of the body that were never released. But Owen told us the story is not about him -- it's the story of hundreds of Americans who spent years gathering intelligence, planning and training of the SEALs, Owen says, "We just took care of the last 40 minutes."
We built what we believe is the most accurate model of bin Laden's compound ever constructed. Owen told us, before the mission, a full size replica of the compound was built in the United States for training and there was a dress rehearsal for the top brass including the chairman of the joint chiefs, Admiral Mike Mullen, and Admiral Eric Olsen, head of Special Operations Command.
Scott Pelley: How did that rehearsal go?
Mark Owen: It was fine. This is nothing new to us. The part that was new was all the VIPs sitting there watching. One of the things that I like after the fact was-- I remember Admiral Mullen coming by and talking to each one of us and then Admiral Olsen as well. And I thought that was cool that, you know, they walked by, shook each of our hands, and said, "Hey, are you guys ready? Can you guys pull this off?" And I'm pretty sure to a man we all said, "Yes, absolutely."
Scott Pelley: How long was it before you got the call to go?
Mark Owen: We had a week off in Virginia Beach. And when I say "off," it wasn't completely. But we had a week-- a week off at home-- conducted one more rehearsal, day of training on the life-size mock up. And then we got the word that we were going.
Owen's book was to be released on the anniversary of 9/11, but the release has been moved up to next week. There's been criticism that the book is timed to influence the election.
Mark Owen: My worry from the beginning is, you know, it's a political season. This book is not political whatsoever. It doesn't bad mouth either party, and we specifically chose September 11th to keep it out of the politics. You know, if these-- crazies on either side of the aisle want to make it political, shame on them. This is a book about September 11th, and it needs to rest on September 11th. Not be brought into the political arena, because this-- this has nothing to do with politics.
When word of the book was announced last week, a few news organizations discovered Mark Owen's real name and published it. As a result, he's a marked man -- in hiding -- probably for the rest of his life. We will not reveal his true name.

Affordable Dentures
The cost of dental treatment is a concern that prevents many patients from receiving the care they want and need. If you are missing teeth, dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease. There are several measures you can take to ensure you receive the most affordable dentures possible. Being honest with your care provider during your initial consultation and practicing good at-home care can help you reduce the initial cost of your dentures and keep them functional for years to come.
Your Initial Consultation
When you visit the dentist to discuss your options, be honest about your budget and goals. Your dentist may be able to make recommendations based on your financial needs and adjust your treatment plan to cut costs wherever possible. While some patients prefer to try on a wax-up or model of their dentures before treatment, you can choose to forego a wax-up and save money. Some dental labs can deliver dentures more quickly, but that requires a larger expense. If you are trying to save money, you might choose to have your dentures delivered at a standard rate. Talk to your dentist about other factors that can affect the overall cost of your treatment.
If you are on a budget, conventional acrylic dentures may be a better option for you.
Choosing Cost-Effective Materials
The quality of materials will greatly influence the cost of your dentures. High-quality dentures are made using plastic and zirconia, which closely mirrors the look, feel, and translucency of natural teeth. It is also extremely durable. However, you can choose to have your dentures crafted out of plastic and acrylic. Acrylic teeth are typically a more affordable option and also offer a variety of benefits for patients.
In addition to choosing acrylic over zirconia, you can also ask your dentist to use a standard plastic base for your dentures. This plastic base will closely mirror the smoothness and color of your gums, but will not be customized for a more natural look.

I am curious as to what it is like to be a programmer/ software engineer. Could you guys explain the typical day in your shoes. Keep in mind, I know nothing about what it's like.
Some basic questions that I can think of:
1. Do you work for one company and go to the same computer everyday? (If so what types of programs are you writing for that one company all the time?)
2. Do you sit in an office? Or is it more like a cubicle with several other people around?
3. Do you mostly work in a group with other programmer? Or do you work alone?
4. How long do most "projects" take? Do you write 1 or 2 programs a day? Or 1 or 2 programs a month?
5. What are some of the most difficult tasks that you've had to face? How did you overcome them? (did you ever have to write something that was too difficult and couldn't do it)?
6. What is the pressure level like? Is there some "Master Software engineer" who is your boss who comes to work everyday just to make sure you guys are getting things done on time? Are there deadlines?
Any of these questions being answered would really be appreciated. I am really curious as to what it's like to be a software engineer for a living and if you would rather have chosen something else now that you know what t's like. Thanks!

3 trends in stock video footage that will increase the production value of your videos
As the film industry grows and improves itself, new trends keep on emerging within the stock footage market. Making it easy for the ambitioned independent video producer to add extremely valuable royalty-free video clips to their productions.
Stock video footage is a great tool for those independent video producers and filmmakers looking to move their stories to the next level without sacrificing the entire budget. Stock footage libraries have become the shelter for those who have reduced budgets but great ambitions and to be honest, this is completely fair; the fact that you don't own an expensive piece of gear doesn't mean you can't have beautiful aerial shots or some top of the line 4K resolution footage.
That's why today we are talking about those film trends that make the stock video footage market such a great tool to count on.
A timelapse video is by definition, capturing the pass of time. There are several topics that can be a subject for this type of stock video footage, with a predominant presence of nature, usually long exposures where we can see the movement of stars and how the Milky Way splits the sky in two. Likewise this technique can be applied to watch a sunrise or a sunset in the background of a cityscape. However, it's not limited to wide long shots, you can shoot a timelapse with close-ups of a melting ice cube or a blossoming flower.
B-roll footage that contains timelapses is commonly used to say in a very artsy, cinematic way that a long time is passing by within the story.
A great variation of timelapse shots that will definitely increase the production value of any b-roll footage is the "hyper lapse", which is achieved by photographing the track of time as the camera moves. This stock video footage trend becomes handy when wanting to give the impression of a "tour around an exotic place", for example.
The use of drones for wide beautiful shots is an emerging trend that has been captivating a lot of attention and the Royalty Free Video market doesn't scape from it. Aerial shots make up for the most beautiful establishing shots; with an extremely professional look you can make your audience feel like they are at the top of everything, giving them a sense of Omni-awareness within the story.
In the Royalty Free Stock Footage market, video makers look for aerial shots to be able to make up for a piece of gear they don't own (like a drone) at the moment or to transport their audience to places they don't have access to. Aerial shots are commonly used in tourism and sports, to convey the sensation of a "bird-eye" where the audience can see everything that's going on in the frame.
The slow motion, a.k.a slo-mo, is a visual effect that allows you to virtually delay an action with the purpose of enhancing the visual or emotional impact. In other words, everything you shoot in slo-mo will hold much more meaning than it normally would; it's commonly used to add drama to a scene.
This effect is achieved by shooting the scene with a number of images per second greater than the speed of projection. Passing the record with a standard number of images per second makes the scene longer, making it seem as it develops slowly.
B-rollStock.com is a stock video footage library full of high quality Royalty-Free Video Clips with 4K and HD resolution ready to be imported in your productions. Our contributors specialize in different techniques and they come from all around the world; we count on several timelapse photographers, as well as filmmakers that have contributed beautiful aerial shots. In B-rollStock.com we have the B-roll package that best suits your production.

Book Guide: A Wrinkle in Time
By Hope Larson , Madeleine L'Engle
3-5, 6-8

Everything is wrong in Meg Murray's life. In school, she's been dropped down to the lowest section of her grade. She's teased about her five-year-old brother, Charles Wallace, who everyone mistakenly thinks is dumb. Not to mention that Meg wears braces and glasses and has mouse-brown hair.

Much will be better in her miserable life when her father gets back. But gets back from where? Meg's physicist father had been experimenting with the fifth dimension of time travel when he mysteriously disappeared. One dark and stormy night, the family is visited by a disheveled heap of a woman named Mrs. Whatsit. Eccentric and brilliant, she will turn out to be the force who spurs on Meg, Charles Wallace, and their new friend, Calvin O'Keefe, to embark on a dangerous quest through space to find their father. In doing so, they must travel behind the shadow of an evil power that is darkening the cosmos.

Before long, the trio discovers that Meg's and Charles Wallace's father is being held prisoner by evil forces on the planet of Camazotz, an eerie place where complete conformity is expected in exchange for personal freedom. There they engage in the fight of their lives against a giant disembodied brain named "It." And soon, Charles Wallace must be rescued, too.

Winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal, L'Engle's novel, the first in the Time Quartet, still has the power to mesmerize even the most jaded reader. A profound sense of mystery courses through every page. The novel's sophisticated concept, along with its warm and sensitive narrative tone, set the perfect stage for Meg to discover that love is the most powerful force in the universe.

19 Facts About Diet Soda That Might Make You Finally Stop Drinking It
Many diet sodas are sweetened with aspartame, a controversial sweetener that tastes 200 times sweeter than regular refined sugar. Some studies have linked the sweetener to headaches in some people, suggesting that it might trigger the unexplained pain.istockphoto.com
Diet soda can cause breakouts
It may not be greasy or sugary, but diet soda is still not great for your skin. The dehydrating effect can dry out your skin, making you more prone to acne. If you're suffering from dry skin, one of these remedies might help! But simply staying hydrated could help prevent dry skin, as well.istockphoto.com
Diet soda drinkers are likely to be depressed
A survey of 263,925 adults showed some correlations between soda and depression. The study suggested that consumption of diet sodas was associated with an increased chance of a depression diagnosis. Soda drinkers overall were 30 percent more likely to be depressed - diet soda added another 22 percent of risk into the equation.istockphoto.com
Diet soda drinkers have lower bone density
In a 2006 study, women who drank diet soda had significantly lower bone mineral density than those who abstained. Low bone mineral density can set you up for osteoporosis later in life. Take care of your bones with these foods to keep them healthy and strong!istockphoto.com
Diet soda could interfere with your natural gut bacteria
Gut health is important to maintain for not only digestive comfort, but other aspects of your health, as well. There is some evidence to suggest that healthy gut bacteria have an effect on your energy levels, immunity, and even mental health. Diet soda may disrupt things, though. A study published in the journal Nature showed that artificial sweeteners may alter the type and function of the bacteria in your gut microbiome. Additionally, aspartame decreases the activity of certain enzymes in your gut, according to one study from 2016.istockphoto.com
Diet soda mixed with alcohol gets you drunker than a sugary cocktail would
Even if you're worried about calories, you may not want to opt for a diet soda as a mixer. A diet soda mixed with any sort of spirit is likely to make you feel drunker than the liquor would on its own. Studies show that diet soda drinks result in higher blood alcohol concentrations. Sugar slows down the absorption of the alcohol, giving you a steady, more controllable buzz. Artificial sweeteners, on the other hand, have no such effect.istockphoto.com
Drinking diet soda increases your risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes
You do not want metabolic syndrome - that's a metabolism disorder that can cause diabetes, heart problems, weight fluctuations, and even death. Diet soda increases your risk of metabolic syndrome by up to 30 percent, according to some studies. It's even more likely to contribute to your risk of diabetes specifically, according to a study published in the journal Diabetes Care.istockphoto.com
Drinking diet soda can interfere with your sense of taste
According to a study published in the journal Appetite, an increased consumption of sucralose (an artificial sweetener found in some diet sodas) can decrease the brain activity of the amygdala, which is a part of your brain involved in taste and the experience of eating. Scientists believe this may show that sucralose actually changes the way you perceive eating actual sugar by comparison.istockphoto.com
Drinking diet soda puts you at high risk for hypertension
Diet soda drinkers may be more likely to experience high blood pressure than those who avoid it and opt for a healthier beverage. According to a study conducted on adolescents, frequent consumption of diet soda drinks was correlated with increased blood pressure. Even if you avoid the foods that could send your blood pressure through the roof, your zero-calorie cola habit could be adding some risk.Dreamstime
Drinking too much diet soda could be bad for your kidneys
According to the National Kidney Foundation, diet soda could be bad news for your kidneys. One study showed that women who drank several diet sodas a day showed a significant decline in kidney function. Your kidneys are really important - they filter out the toxins from your body.Dreamstime
Your brain experiences effects similar to chemical addiction
It's not in your head - there's a biological addictive response to the beverage. Dopamine and glutamate, two neurotransmitters in the brain's reward center, are released from the caffeine and aspartame. Basically, the soda influences your brain to crave it again after you finish your can, chasing the next soda-fueled high. Caffeine in general is hard to quit. Here's what happens to your body when you try.istockphoto.com
Drinking diet soda probably won't help you lose weight
Just because it's calorie-free doesn't mean it's an effective weight loss tool. Some studies actually show weight gain in association with drinking diet soda. A review of scientific literature showed that studies showing weight loss from replacing drinks with diet soda were often funded by the artificial sweetener industry.istockphoto.com
Just one diet soda a day boosts your risk of a heart attack.
According to a study from the University of Miami, regularly drinking diet soda can significantly escalate your risk of a heart attack. Regular soda drinkers who opted for the sugary drink instead did not have as strong a risk. You might be better off with the sugary soda - or, more likely, water.istockphoto.com
Over time, diet soda can cause your skin and muscles to wither
Some believe this withering effect is due to the phosphoric acid used in most dark-colored sodas (both diet and regular) - it's fine to drink in moderation, but if you're guzzling can after can, it can have chronic implications. Phosphoric acid can disrupt the nutrient absorption process in your body. In excess, this can prevent skin and muscles from getting the nutrients they need. This can speed up the aging process, giving you more wrinkles and a weaker frame.istockphoto.com
Some studies show drinking diet soda causes problems during pregnancy
According to a study from Denmark, just one diet soda a day was associated with a 38 percent increased risk of preterm delivery. Four sodas a day increased the risk by 78 percent. So if you're pregnant, you might want to quit the habit ASAP. Here are eight other drinks you should avoid if you're pregnant.istockphoto.com
One study found that diet soda drinkers' teeth are just as eroded as those of meth addicts
According to a case study published in the journal General Dentistry, the mouth of one habitual diet soda drinker was just as eroded as the mouths of a meth user and a crack addict. This dangerous addiction might not be as strong, but it's certainly more common. Diet soda is something out of a dentist's nightmare.istockphoto.com
Too much diet soda can give you brain damage
According to a study from Boston University, diet soda drinkers are up to three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's or dementia than people who didn't drink the soda. You'd be better off loading up your diet with these foods that can protect your brain from Alzheimer's and leave your diet soda days behind.istockphoto.com
Aspartame breaks down into other scary-sounding chemicals in the body
When your body digests aspartame, it breaks down into methanol, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid. The methanol is then converted to formaldehyde and eventually formic acid. That's a string of long chemical names, and each of those spends some time in your body after you drink aspartame.istockphoto.com
Diet soda raises your risk of stroke
The same study that suggests diet soda increases risk of cognitive decline also showed an increased risk of stroke. Not sure what to eat and drink to protect your brain? Here's what neurologists recommend.

Most of us will drive in the rain many times throughout our life. However, many people attempt to drive in wet conditions as if it were warm and dry.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation , there are on average more than 900,000 automobile crashes each year due to wet pavement, resulting in approximately 4,400 deaths and 352,000 injuries.
Follow these rainy weather safety tips to help you when driving in the rain:
Go Slow
The first few hours during and after a rainstorm are the most dangerous. The grease and oil from cars produces a film on roads during dry conditions and when it rains, this layer becomes extremely slippery. Drive defensively in the rain and reduce your speed to below the speed limit to prevent the chance of hydroplaning.
Stay Alert
When conditions are less than ideal, drivers need to stay alert and focused on what's going on around them.
Brake Cautiously
One primary reason cars collide during rainstorms is because drivers slam on their brakes as if it were dry, but the wet road causes the car to slide forward, often into the rear of another car. Brake gently and early to alert the driver behind you that you are slowing down.
Avoid the Splash
The big splash you get when you drive through a huge puddle can be costly. If water enters the engine compartment of your vehicle, it can damage the internal systems. Drive around large puddles, and avoid running water. Once you have safely passed, tap lightly on your brake pedal to dry off your brake rotors.
Beware of Hydroplaning
If you begin to hydroplane in slick conditions, take your foot off the gas and steer steadily in the direction of the skid. Wait for your car to regain control with the road and either continue with your trip or find a safe place to pull over to recover from the event.
Increase Your Visibility
It's the law in all states to turn on headlights when visibility is low, and many states also require having the headlights on when the windshield wipers are in use. Drive in the middle lane as much as possible to increase visibility and also avoid deep water, which tends to run off to the sides of the road.
Check Your Tire Tread
If your tires have less than 1/16″ of tread remaining, proceed with extra caution when driving in the rain. Tire performance is significantly reduced with the combination of wet roads and little tire tread, which can lead to hydroplaning, especially at high speeds and around turns.
No Cruise Control
Driving in the rain demands an extra level of concentration and less distraction. If the vehicle starts to hydroplane while cruise control is on, drivers may get confused on whether or not to turn it off. Avoid the extra distraction by leaving it disabled.

With the exception of running through Serial, I primarily listen to comedy ones. My favorites:
Listen to every episode:
Harmontown - Dan Harmon (creator of community) does a weekly live show with friends/guests
Nerd Poker - Brian Posehn and friends playing Dungeons and Dragons (not a huge fan of playing D&D myself, but it's very enjoyable when you listen to comedians play)
Listen when the topic/guest interests me:
You Made it Weird - Pretty much the same format as WTF, but hosted by Pete Holmes.
How Did This Get Made - comedians reviewing bad movies
The Indoor Kids

A herniated disc occurs when the nuclear pulposus, the inner material of the disc, pushes through a tear in the disc's membrane, and compresses the nerve exiting the spinal cord. Ninety percent of disc herniations occur in the lower two lumbar vertebrae where the spine has the most flexibility. Symptoms of a herniated disc include: pain in back and/or leg; stiffness, numbness, weakness or tingling in leg or back; and/or shooting pain down leg.
With a posterior (backside) disc herniation, back bends will help reduce inflammation and help press the nucleus back into the disk. Spine lengthing poses will reduce the pressure on the disks and improve posture. Twists will help improve circulation of blood, fluids and energy to the effected area. Forward bends and poses that round the back are contraindicated. As the disks can rupture in different areas other than posterior, please check with your MD / PT to make sure the following poses are appropriate to your specific condition.

I'm afraid it is

In Reply to: Fallen? Is that you? posted by R. Berg on September 24, 2003
: : : : The words anger and exasperation are synonym's but how would you elpain the difference between them?
: : : : Thanks
: : : Not synonymous, really. One can be angry without being exasperated; one can be exasperated without being angry. Anger is an emotion of hostility towards a person, situation, or condition. One could be angry at something sudden, like dropping something fragile. Exasperation includes anger, but also includes irritation or annoyance. You could be exasperated by a puzzle you can't solve.
: : To add a little to the mix, exasperation is a kind of sub-set of the more general word anger. Exasperation always includes an element of frustration.
: Fallen! Things have been so much duller without you.

KDE Celebrates 2012 Google Summer of Code Success
KDE has again taken part in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) as its biggest participating organization. Fifty-nine out of mind-boggling sixty projects have been completed successfully. Lots of new things have been learned, lots of code has been written and there's been plenty of fun. GSoC is over but the code has not gone away and the work is not finished. Over the next months, many of the students will continue to be part of KDE, integrate the code for future releases, improve it, maintain it, become more part of KDE. For now, however, pencils are down and we congratulate the students. It was a great summer and we enjoyed having you around!
Lots of variety
Improved shapes in Calligra
Many different KDE projects have been involved in Google Summer of Code 2012, including core libraries (kdelibs), accessibility, education, games, graphics, multimedia and PIM. Prominent KDE projects that are shipped independently from the KDE combined releases have also taken part, such as Amarok, the music player; Calligra, the office suite; Choqok, the microblogging client; Gluon, the game engine and KDevelop, the IDE.
The projects undertaken by students varied from under-the-hood code tweaking to reimplementing parts of the software using new technologies like QtQuick and QML to improve the user interfaces. Not every success will be noticed by our users immediately. Some of the projects focused on performance optimization; some will only prove fruitful in the future. Of course, to our developers and mentors every project and every effort was dear and precious!
Lessons learned and friends gained
The Google Summer of Code provides many valuable lessons, not only for the students—who get to learn from some of the world's leading free software developers—but also for the mentors who learn useful skills in training the next generation of KDE contributors.
Work in KStars
Rishab Arora, who worked on improving KStars, enjoyed "the chance to work with amazing people from all over the world" and learned that "just because you cannot see something, doesn't mean it isn't important - clarity and readability are as important as working code". Samikshan Bairagya also worked on KStars and "got to learn the awesome concept of model-view and learned a lot about programming conventions and UI designing".
For Matěj Laitl, working on Amarok provided the opportunity to "finally work on open-source full-time during the summer without having to take less fun jobs on proprietary software". Fellow Amarok contributor, Phalgun Guduthur, sees the experience as "a platform to start contributing to open source projects that people use", noting that "it's satisfying to be part of something that is used by so many people around the world".
"The fact that you could learn about so many different things so quickly and so easily and get to interact with so many people" was the best thing for Pankaj Bhambhani, working on Facebook integration in Choqok. These thoughts were echoed by Francisco Fernandes, who worked on Krita, "the community interaction and the learning is the most valuable experiences"
There was praise, not only for the quality of mentors, but also the quality of software: " I learned how great Krita actually is," said Shivaraman Aiyer.
Thank you, great working with you. Don't be strangers!
Thank you to Google for this opportunity. Congratulations to our students again for their success; we invite you to stay with us. Keep hacking on KDE, keep learning and consider participating again in Google Summer of Code next year, as students or even as mentors, helping others get as much as possible out of the experience!
Let's help more students like Claudio Desideri to say: "I broke my limits".
More information
There is more about the 2012 Google Summer of Code at the KDE Community Wiki, including brief descriptions and more information about the projects.

Re : 'merged into master'
My project which is a Nepomuk plugin for Amarok is merged into master. It will be shipped with the next release of Amarok.
You could give it a try using Amarok git.

My project—Import Tool Revamp in digiKam—is also merged into master and will be available in the next release of digiKam (3.0.0).

the last few days of road trip 2012. my advice for anyone thinking of doing a trip like this is give yourself enough time or make your trip smaller, i needed another week to have seen everything and lessened the driving days. also, know it will cost a lot, especially if you're not camping or staying with people, update your gps, pack less then you think you'll need, plan a bit a head, it will lessen the stress, get good snacks, good music and take lots of pictures! i'd definitely do another road trip but i'd focus on one area like the northeast or northwest coasts or tennessee/louisiana/texas with at least 2-4 weeks so that i could explore more.
vail, colorado, nebraska, iowa, chicago, illinois and the drive home through indiana and michigan. i clearly stopped with the outfit posts by this point, too many hotel stops to care about lugging all my luggage, kept it pretty simple in the end. the heat was also getting to me, scorching after colorado. there were some highlights i'd like to mention, seeing the southern rockies which were not as impressive as those in alberta, but were still gorgeous. Seeing the cutest fox in aspen. the endless cornfields of iowa and nebraska and the giant moon overhead. the coolest urban waterfront i've ever seen in chicago, fourth of july fireworks at navy pier and all in all one awesome city "chi-town" i'll be back... finally getting back home and no problems at the border!
there was also one intense moment in nebraska where we almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, with a gps that was leading us to cornfields not pumps. we had to turn off the ac, roll up the windows and coast for quite few sweat filled, adrenaline pumping minutes before we finally found a closed gas station that thankfully still took credit cards at the pump. we were almost children of the corn food.

Following a successful time at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, the brightly painted 'Jungle City' sculptures will be unleashed onto the streets, parks and neighbourhoods of Edinburgh.
All of the sculptures are for sale and have been decorated by a spectrum of world class artists. The event features the work of German born goldsmith and jewelry designer Sabine Roemer who has created an exotic creature – a hornbill decorated with feathers, pearls and a 383 carat ruby from Tanzania, which is set in a hand crafted fine gold and sterling silver mask. It is hoped this sculpture will raise a six figure sum for the lead conservation charity, Elephant Family.
"I created this beautiful paradise bird with the intention to escape into an amazing tropical and colourful world through his eyes: set with beautiful a handcrafted finegold mask, which is set with a total of 383,09 carat Rubies from Tanzania"
Edinburgh is the first city in the world to host a 'Jungle City', event which is 100% charitable and has been organized to benefit the work of lead charity Elephant Family and six other conservation NGOs. The sculptures will be sold at a glittering auction event on the 29th September at the National Museum of Scotland.

- Apply sun screen carefully and generously. Re-apply after swimming.
- Apply sun protection even whilst in the shade; you are still exposed to 40% of the sun's UV radiation.
- At the start of the summer, choose a moderate to high factor (SPF 20 and up), and only stay out in the sun for short periods so as to acclimatize your skin gradually.
- For the best protection under make-up, use Anti-Aging Sun Screen SPF15 Face for two in one moisturization and sun care. Use a small amount and allow a few minutes for the light fluid to absorb before applying make-up.
- Take particular care of babies and children in the sun, and always ensure they are wearing clothing and a hat for extra protection. Pediatricians recommend babies under 6 months stay in the shade and receive minimal exposure to direct sunlight.
- Sunlight is strongest between 11 am and 3 pm. Avoid direct sun exposure at these times.
- When traveling, remember: if you are bound for snow or water, they reflect sunlight, intensifying its UV rays, so you will need to choose a higher sun protection factor - SPF 20 and up. Near the equator and in mountainous areas, the sun's rays are also more intense, so again, use SPF 20 and up.
- Swimming and sweating will remove sun screen, always re-apply after exercise.
- After sunbathing, treat skin to a generous application of After Sun Lotion. With organic jojoba and vitamin E, it works to re-nourish and nurture sun sore skin.
SAFETY NOTE: Natural, mineral based sunscreens are especially important for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Studies have shown that the chemicals in synthetic sun screens can accumulate in the body, and can mimic the effects of estrogen. They have even been found in breast milk.

Proposals selected for undergraduate summer research grants
First-ever awards of up to $3,000 for twenty-two student projectsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Research Relations
Twenty-two UH-Manoa undergraduates will be working on a range of unique and exciting projects this summer with special research awards from the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education, Gary Ostrander.
"This is a new program we're very excited about," Ostrander said. "We issued a call for proposals in January and received nearly four-dozen really imaginative and creative project papers."
Submissions came from students in the Natural and Social Sciences, Engineering, Languages, Literature and Linguistics and the Arts and Humanities. Following rigorous review by a committee of seven faculty members a total of twenty-two proposals were recommended to the Vice Chancellor for support. Most of the winning students will receive an award of $3,000 that can be used as a stipend or to cover travel and other costs associated with their proposed work.
In making these awards, Ostrander said, "The opportunity to be involved in an independent research activity is the value-added component to an undergraduate education at UH Manoa. These experiences can equip students with the important organizational and critical thinking skills they can take into a professional career or further education in graduate school."
Director of Research Relations Harold McArthur is coordinating the program. He noted that the projects range from a botanical inventory of Kipapa Trail in the O'ahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge to a hands-on study of Islamic style glass production in Turkey and an archeological excavation in Egypt.
Challenging topics in the natural sciences and engineering include a study of magma speedometry (movement of a type of lava in volcanoes) and an evaluation of the time of flight electronics for the world's highest luminosity collider (a particle accelerator) in Japan. In the social sciences, one winning student researcher will investigate factors related to mate preferences in adopted individuals, while an aspiring psychologist will study the effect of perceived controllability of pain on preference type of social support by chronic pain patients.
Students receiving summer research awards will be required to participate in a public presentation of the results of their work during the fall semester. Ostrander noted that he expects this to be the beginning of what will become a permanent program to support undergraduate education at UH Manoa.

Toyota Motor Corp. agreed to pay $10 million to settle a lawsuit with the families of four people who were killed in an accident that led to the automaker's recall of millions of vehicles over unintended acceleration concerns.
The settlement was reached in September, but the amount was not made public at the time after both Toyota and the plaintiffs agreed to keep the deal confidential.
The Los Angeles Times reported the amount on Thursday after it was disclosed to the paper by an attorney representing Bob Baker Lexus, a defendant in the case, located near San Diego, Calif.
The dealership lent California Highway Patrol officer Mark Saylor a 2009 Lexus ES that, Saylor's family alleged in the suit, contained defects that caused the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably and ultimately killed Saylor, his wife, brother-in-law and daughter. The families of Saylor and his wife agreed to drop the suit against Toyota and the dealership in exchange for the settlement.
Toyota neither admitted nor denied liability in the settlement.
In a statement posted on its news media Web site, Toyota said it was "disappointed" that the sum of the settlement was made public, as the families and Toyota "reached a private, amicable settlement through mutual respect and cooperation without the involvement of the courts."
"Unfortunately, Bob Baker Lexus, along with the Orange County District Attorney and several news organizations, fought to make the amount of the settlement public, and the court agreed to do so," Toyota said in its statement.
"Indeed, Bob Baker Lexus already knew the terms of the settlement. However, Mr. Baker now wants the amount publicized in an apparent effort to shift the focus away from his dealership as he continues to litigate this case with the families."
In its statement, Toyota went on to note that the police report about the accident said the accident was caused because of an "incompatible" floor mat that was "installed incorrectly" in the vehicle loaned to Saylor by the dealership.
"Our deepest sympathies remain with the friends and family of Mark, Cleofe and Mahala Saylor and Cleofe's brother Chris Lastrella," Toyota said in the statement. "However, as in the past, Toyota will continue to defend itself vigorously against the misleading allegations Bob Baker Lexus is making against Toyota. Toyota is not, however, in a position to address the additional negligence claims the families have against Bob Baker Lexus that are independent of Toyota."
A negligence suit against the dealership is still pending, the newspaper reported.

In 1972, the French unveiled what they claimed was the sum total of all collected automotive knowledge up to that point: The Renault 12. After all, Renault (curiously pronounced Ren-ALT by the announcer here) has been making cars since 1899. Clearly, they can do a better job than anyone else!
Time, you see, has taught Ren-ALT that front-wheel-drive is vastly superior for handling and traction. And through their decades of automotive mastery, Ren-ALT has learned how to make a car with 30 mpg "without looking it or feeling it." Whatever the hell that means.
The ad closes with the claim that Ren-ALT is the world's largest maker of FWD cars. I think we can all agree that today, that's not really something to be proud of.

As a kid, I was drawn and very attracted by the fantasy realm of knights and kings, wizards and magic.
In 1993, I was deeply attracted to the range of Black Knights and Dragon Masters, and I can remember hours staring at majisto's magic wand (it glows in the dark!), the classic dragons and the black knights castle 6086.
I got my first LEGO set 6008 in 1995, and it was thoroughly abused. Till this day I still have the sword and horse.
1996 came and I started to lose interest in LEGO castle, when the fright knights arrived in 1997 I went into dark ages..
Back to present, I've been actively buying and collecting LEGO since feb 2011.
The fantasy era was awesome, I wish it could run for a few more years.. That being said, Kingdoms aren't too shabby either!
Ventured into this site as I plan to collect more of the classic LEGO from 1980s and early 1990s such as crusaders, classics, royal knights and black knights.
Looking forward to many many years of LEGO castle building and MOC'ing..

Superhero movies are like highlight reels--they only show us our heroes on good days. The web always goes exactly where it's supposed to, the heat vision never takes out a plane flying somewhere off in the distance. But what happens when the superpowers get in the way of leading a normal life? What happens when they get in the way of getting to the bathroom on time?
We asked you to fire up photoshop and show us some scenarios where superpowers would be less than convenient. The winner is below, but first the runners up ...

If you want to get a sense of just how massive LG Display's new 84-inch Ultra-Definition 3DTV is, check out this shot. That tiny-looking TV on the left? It's a ridiculously big 60 inches, dwarfed by LG's 4K monster.
Are you very rich? Is your home very large? You are totally going to want the 84-inch, 3480x2160 ultradef TV. The picture quality is stunning. 3D effects jump out at you like on a movie screen. (In fact, they looked better than most movies I've seen.)
But you'll need to have it delivered because you are totally not fitting that thing in your car. Or your truck. Hell, I couldn't even fit this ostentatious beast in my apartment. But hey, you just bought an 84-inch TV with the highest resolution available, big spender. (When it comes to market, that is.) You can't spring for movers? What's wrong with you?

I hate pre-traveling.
The scheduling.
The packing.
The over packing.
The drive to the airport (2:45 am wake-up call).
The sleepless night because you lie in fear you won't hear your 17 alarm clocks, and you will miss the whole thing.
The arriving at the airport 2 hours early, just so I can make my way through security in 43 seconds.
While 43 seconds sounds quick, it's a lifetime when you're being touched in places where you shouldn't be touched (how many people on the no-fly list do I share a name with???)
The checking in at the hotel only to discover I've forgotten something I reminded myself over and over not to forget (mental note… don't forget toothbrush… and pants).
You may be asking why I travel if it's such a hassle?
Because it's free! And you know how I love the free stuff (email me if you have any questions… and free stuff).
Once or twice a year, I accept a very gracious invitation that has me show up and attend meetings at a location that's at least 40 degrees warmer than the one in which I live.
This time it's the good people at District Administration Magazine.
They have been kind enough to fly me to Phoenix. They are also going to provide me with some professional development.
And golf.
But mostly professional development.
With some golf.
I can't thank them enough for the airfare, resort hotel, the opportunity to learn more about technology, instructional design, health care budgets, drop-out prevention, and school wellness.
And don't forget the golf.
Now if I could just do this without all the pre-travel hassle.

(2008; 105 pages)
In 2000, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to identify and test innovative approaches for improving access to essential medicines in developing countries through greater participation of the private sector. To fulfill this mandate, MSH set out to implement programs to promote access, design a method to measure the nature and extent of the lack of access to essential medicines, and monitor the impact of these programs.
The Strategies for Enhancing Access to Medicines (SEAM) Program has four components:
- technical collaboration with other Gates-supported global medicine and vaccine access initiatives,
- implementation of country-level public-private initiatives to improve access to essential medicines and commodities in two or three countries,
- determination of the feasibility of franchising as a mechanism to improve access, and
- development and deployment of information and communications tools to support technical interventions.
After several rounds of internal discussions and consultations with experts from WHO and the World Bank as well as with contacts in developing countries, six countries—Brazil (state of Minas Gerais), Cambodia, El Salvador, Ghana, India (state of Rajasthan), and Tanzania—were identified as targets for assessments based on the conceptual framework, with the understanding that only two, or at most three, countries would eventually be selected for long-term projects under the SEAM Program. The initial selection criteria included perceived or known lack of access to essential medicines, perceived enabling environment for private sector initiatives, political and economic stability, and potential for collaboration with other MSH and Gates-funded local initiatives. The countries not selected for long-term assistance are expected to have benefited from the assessment exercise, in particular from a SEAM-supported analysis of potential public-private sector initiatives to enhance access to essential medicines. With such an analysis in hand, the country can approach donors and lenders to finance such work, as appropriate. The assessments were carried out between February and May 2001. Local private, not-for-profit, and academic organizations collaborated in the adaptation of data collection instruments, sample selection, data collection, and analysis. The assessments included
- determining the status of public and private sector access—in terms of geographical accessibility, availability, quality, affordability, and acceptability—to essential public health medicines and health commodities;
- identifying opportunities for private sector participation in improving access to public health commodities; and
- determining the feasibility of implementing public and private sector strategies to improve access.
MSH chief executive officer and Center for Pharmaceutical Management/SEAM Program managers elected to provide full support to country programs in Ghana and Tanzania and limited support for a country program in El Salvador.

Donaldson's three RBIs back Chavez's gem
Third baseman has three extra-base hits as A's sweep Astros
OAKLAND -- Jesse Chavez continues to surprise everyone but himself.
The late-blooming righty wasn't even supposed to be in Oakland's rotation, until Spring Training injuries to a pair of teammates forced his move from the bullpen. Right now, the 30-year-old is perhaps their best pitcher.
"When somebody goes down or somebody's struggling, you give somebody else an opportunity, and it's their turn to shine," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "He's been focused and ready for that opportunity and continues to run with it."
In allowing the Astros just one run in a 4-1 series-sweeping victory on Sunday at the O.co Coliseum, his first career win as a starter, Chavez became the first player in A's history who started the season on the Opening Day roster to surrender one earned run or fewer while tossing at least six innings in each of his first four starts.
That's four earned runs total the right-hander has given up in 26 innings -- with 28 strikeouts -- for a 1.38 ERA, good for fifth in the American League. Teammates Scott Kazmir (1.68) and Sonny Gray (1.80) are also in the Top 10, with Oakland's starters allowing three runs or fewer in 16 of the first 18 games.
Of the A's rotation, Chavez's is least known around the league. That's OK with him, even if it doesn't remain that way for long.
"You have to stay after it," he said. "If I didn't I wouldn't be in this position. I'm just fortunate and thankful that they gave me the opportunity for this."
"In Spring Training, once we heard the [injury] news about [Jarrod] Parker and [A.J.] Griffin, I felt he was going to have a good year for us," Josh Donaldson said of Chavez. "So far he's been great."
It was Donaldson who provided Chavez all the support he needed on Easter Sunday, cranking out three extra-base hits and as many RBIs in Oakland's 11th win in its last 13 games.
The A's, now 23-5 all-time against the Astros, are an American League-best 13-5 heading into their first matchup of the year with the Rangers (11-8) on Monday, which is their best record after 18 games since posting the same mark in 1990.
Donaldson hit his fourth homer of the year in the first inning, a two-run shot to left field off former Triple-A teammate Brad Peacock following a base hit from Jed Lowrie.
Lowrie scored again on a passed ball in the seventh inning after Donaldson's second double scored Coco Crisp. The A's shortstop is 9-for-23 (.391) with four doubles and a home run in his last four games, after going 2-for-18 in his previous seven.
"He gets on base a lot and gets in scoring position, which is always nice," Donaldson said of Lowrie. "I just got good pitches to hit and was able to put the barrel on the ball. It was just one of those days."
It was another day of spotty defense, though, as Donaldson was responsible for one of two A's errors, bringing Oakland's total to an AL-high 20, including at least one in each of the last nine games.
But they've responded just fine, another credit to their dependable pitching staff.
"We feel pretty good, but I don't think we're playing near the baseball we'll hopefully be playing here soon," said Donaldson. "That said, we feel like we have a good team, and guys are doing their part, day in and day out."
Chavez's only miscue came in the fourth, when he was tagged for a homer off the bat of Marwin Gonzalez. He scattered just three other hits, walking three and striking out six in the gritty outing.
"I think he'll tell you he struggled with his command more so today than any other day," said Melvin. "Pulling some cutters off the plate, just wasn't as sharp as he normally is, but that's really the mark of a good pitcher, when you don't have your best stuff, you're fighting yourself some. But is able to give us six innings like he did and one run was pretty fantastic."
"The only thing I had pretty much working today was my changeup," Chavez said. "That was a good pitch that I needed. Take a little bit off of the two-seamer that was flat a little bit at times, which resulted in a lot of hard contact. Thank God it was for outs."
