The ongoing scientific debate over the nature and distance to cosmic gamma-ray bursts is sure to heat up further following the latest discovery by Space Sciences Laboratory scientists at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center.
Using the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), a NASA/Marshall experiment on NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, astronomers have detected a unique sequence of four cosmic gamma-ray bursts, unlike any seen to date in the 5.5 year mission. Other spacecraft have confirmed several of these blasts of energy, which appeared in rapid succession over a two day period from the same general position in the sky.
Scientists will be giving a full account of their findings on December 18, 1996 in a paper presented to the Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics, held in Chicago, Illinois.
BATSE usually detects only about one gamma-ray burst per day, and the locations in the sky of nearly 1,700 events detected to date (diagram) appear to be randomly distributed. "That's what makes these four events so unusual," says Dr. Charles Meegan of NASA/Marshall, and a co-investigator on the BATSE experiment. "They came right after one another, about two days apart, and all from the same part of the sky. If you make a circle with your thumb and index finger and hold it out at arms' length, that about covers the area on the sky where these bursts came from."
Although that may seem like a fairly small region of the sky, it's many times too big to be searched efficiently by instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope, because their field of view is significantly smaller. These telescopes would have to fill in the area one small square at a time, taking thousands of pictures to build a mosaic of this region.
Because of the uncertainty in the events' locations, and because of the possibility of a chance coincidence, the BATSE astronomers can't say for sure that these events were produced by just one object in space. "Stranger things have happened," said Dr. Valerie Connaughton, a National Research Council scientist at NASA/Marshall working on BATSE data, and principal author on the paper, "but it would be somewhat unlikely that this actually happened by chance."
In fact, the scientists are not certain that these events are all from the same object, and there is even some discussion about how many bursts actually occurred. "The instrument triggered four times," Meegan explained, "but at least two of the gamma-ray peaks appear to be connected in the same event. So even if we can determine for certain that these gamma-rays came from the same object, there's the next question of whether it's one long burst, stretching over two days, if it's actually a repetition of individual bursting events, or something in between. If it turns out to be one long burst, then they're even stranger than we thought."Dr. Gerald Fishman, principal investigator on BATSE agreed. "It's trying to tell us something about what causes these bursts, but we're not sure what just yet." The distance to gamma-ray bursts is still debated among scientists, despite nearly 25 years of study. While some astronomers hold out for an explanation that puts the bursts just outside of our own galaxy, most believe that the bursts come from remote parts of the universe, at cosmological distances of a billion light years or more. "But some cosmological models have problems with a repeating event," Fishman continued, "because they usually involve a tremendous explosion that destroys the source in the process. You just can't come back two days later and make another burst."
The dates and times (in seconds of day Universal Time, or UT) of the burst detections are shown in the table below, along with an indication of any simultaneous detection by the Ulysses, TGRS, and Konus gamma-ray burst experiments. The computed position of each event on the sky is shown in the coordinates of Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC), with the uncertainty in each position given in the column labeled "Uncert." The duration of each event is also listed below in seconds.

Vacation is over. Back in business today! It was a nice break during which we got some things done around the Inn that we were keen to do. Plus, we got away to other parts of New England, visiting a couple of Inns, checking out new restaurants. Went to Boston. Caught up with the children.
While we were away it seems our restaurant clientele discovered the Inn on Opentable.com, which they were directed to by our voice mail message. Thanksgiving dinner is SOLD OUT thanks to many reservations made through Opentable.
Think pie.

Empowerment of women and gender equality make a strong shield against sexual war crimes in conflicts.
Last week saw the largest ever Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflicts in London. For the first time issues related to women's security and safety in war zones was raised as the main topic of a high level meeting, co-chaired by Foreign Minister William Hague of the United Kingdom and Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The conference speakers represented all corners of the world and every sector relevant to the topic, and the message emerging from them all was very clear: the time to act is now.
Pekka Haavisto, Finland's Minister for International Development, delivered a speech highlighting the importance of empowerment of women, and the vitality of equal participation of women in political processes as the best preventive measure to stop sexual violence. This is Finland's priority and field which the Finnish development aid has been focusing already in since 2009.
Sexual violence is widely and deliberately used as a weapon of war in conflicts. In spite of being horrendous crimes against humanity, sexual war crimes are too often left without consequences to perpetrators. Sexual crimes have a devastating impact on victims' lives and on whole society. The stigma of the crime is carried by the victims, not the criminals.
Sexual violence can no longer be ignored by the modern world. Criminalizing sexual violence in the war zones and ending the impunity, supporting the victims of the sexual crimes, and moving the shame from victims to criminals were discussed in the summit to end sexual violence in conflicts. The victims should be also guaranteed reliable access to report the offense, and they should be given a chance to take the case to the court free of charges.
Finland is a pioneer of gender equality, which gives the country a credible background to help other countries to empower women. Tradition in equality has long roots in Finnish history. Finnish women were the first in the world to get the full political and voting rights in 1905, and nineteen women were elected to the Parliament in the elections in 1907. Active participation to society has been the key in the fight for equality.
Finland stands for its values, and this year two million euros from the development cooperation funds are given to support United Nations' Stop Rape Now -initiative. Officially named as UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, initiative helps the survivors of sexual crimes in conflict zones, and finds ways to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon. The initiative also helps the process of the survivors to get their case heard in a court. Zainab Bangura, Sierra Leonean politician and social activist, is leading the Stop Rape Now, which unites the work of 13 UN entities.
This year the main focus of Stop Rape Now is to empower women. The aim is to change women's mindset from victim to survivor, and onwards to help them to be influential people in the society. To gain gender equality, it is important to have women in every step of decision making processes and in the peace negotiation processes. Women should have an access to every top stages of society.
Finland also supports financially International Criminal Court's (ICC) Trust Fund for Victims, UN Team of Experts on Sexual Violence in Conflict and Justice Rapid Response -mechanism, to get the most serious crimes against humanity to the court. JRR maintains a roster of experts who are in the readiness to go to the conflict zones to collect the evidence of the crimes to make justice happen.

BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge in Massachusetts says a lawsuit over the use of Julia Child's name should be heard in California, where a related lawsuit is pending.
The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts says BSH Home Appliances Corp., which makes Thermador ovens, is using the late chef's name without permission. The company's advertising has included pictures of Child and referred to her use of Thermador products.
The Irvine, Calif.-based manufacturer says it's simply making a factual reference to Child's use of its appliances.
BSH filed its lawsuit in Massachusetts. Foundation lawyers argued that the case should be heard in California, where it filed state and federal lawsuits against BSH.
U.S. District Judge William Young said Thursday that the BSH lawsuit will be transferred to federal court in Los Angeles.

THE 2ND ANNUAL MINDSET LIST® PARENTS' ADVISORY: 25 AMAZING QUESTIONS!by Tom McBride •
Beloit, Wis. – With only days remaining until the announcement of the first child born in 2013, two authors who have dealt for years with the world of the 18 year old, have some advice for new parents.
"Start taking notes and preparing for those questions you will have to answer as they graduate from high school in in 2031," suggest Ron Nief and Tom McBride, creators of the Beloit College Mindset List and authors of The Mindset Lists of American History.
"Time will sneak by quickly," they warn, "and soon they are going to want you to explain yourself and your generation. They will force you to show your age with quizzical looks as they ask you to tell them about the "olden days," when you were young."
To assist these parents in preparation, Nief and McBride have assembled this year's Parents' Advisory, 25 questions to anticipate from your offspring as they head off on their own.
"They may seem odd now, but just wait."
1. Why is so much of what we have made in Cuba?
2. What did you use paper dollar bills for?
3. Did you actually throw away computerized robots without their permission?
4. How did they ever finish a hockey game with all that fighting they used to do.
5. How did you survive as a kid without your own 3-D copier?
6. Don't you think there should be a few male Supreme Court justices?

13. Before you had anti-steering locks built into bicycles, weren't they stolen a lot?
14. Did you vote for both of Vice President Clinton's parents – Bill and Hillary – for president ?
15. How long have there been grocery carts that monitor your caloric intake and dietary restrictions when you grab the handle?
16. Is there a reason why all those shopping centers and concert halls look like they were once big churches?
17. Did they have to x-ray your mouth all the time before they installed the Dental Health Sensor in your cheek?
18. Do you remember when the National Anthem was only sung in English at sports events?
19. Were employers always required to provide robo pets for employees with anxiety problems?

32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12) - Previously: #31 - "Stats are for losers." -- Raheem Morris.
Having your team quit on you is a loser's trait as well. See ya, Raheem.
By the way, I found this amusing:
That's something you won't ever hear on ESPN. The sad thing is though, I could see LeGarrette Blount in a learning-disabled class. Speaking of which...
I love GameCenter. You can't make this stuff up.
31. St. Louis Rams (2-14) - Previously: #32 - It's time for my weekly bashing of NFL.com's bogus edge meter:
The 49ers are playing for a bye. The Rams are trying to land the No. 1 pick. Surely, this is a slight edge.
If San Francisco has a slight edge over St. Louis, then perhaps this would apply as well (thanks to Jay B. for this idea):
Emmitt can speak gooder English than someone else! It's a New Year's miracle!
30. Indianapolis Colts (2-14) - Previously: #29 - Speak of the devil, Famous GameCenter user Taton is still banned.
I wish I could read what Taton has to say about the Colts firing Bill Polian and the entire front office. Here are the posts Taton would have made on GameCenter if he were still a member:
On Bill Polian's firing:
- colt fire b.poland!!! b.poland make bad draft pick make good decison fire b.plan bfore he screw up draft and not take a.lock!!!!
On the rest of the front office getting axed:
- jim isray fire all front offece!!! why not fire back offece tooo!!!! jim isray make gay sex with cach cadwell in back offece!!!!!!!!
On Jim Caldwell still keeping his job:
- colt need fire cach caswell!!!! he spend to much tiem licking penas in back offece with jim isray and cristis prainter!!!!
On Peyton Manning being traded by March:
- p.manning throw too many int byebye p.mannnig team you go to have no hoep for playoff!!!!!!
On the Colts starting over with Andrew Luck:
- colt sack for leck and now get beast quarterbak in draft!!! i just hope cach casewell fire so he no lick a.lock penas in back offece with jim isray and cristis prainter!!!!!
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) - Previously: #30 - I love the work that Scott Hanson does on NFL Red Zone, but he said something curious Sunday:
"There are some people in Jacksonville who don't want the Jaguars to win because of draft position."
There are people in Jacksonville who care about what the Jaguars do? This is news to me.
28. Cleveland Browns (4-12) - Previously: #28 - Thanks to Jacksonville's victory and the possibility of Peyton Manning going to Washington, the Browns' chances of landing Robert Griffin have just improved. They may not even have to move up to No. 3 to get him.
Speaking of Manning, check out this GameCenter post:
Manatee might be on to something. Instead of drafting Andrew Luck, the Colts should replace P Mann with Tee Martin.
27. Minnesota Vikings (3-13) - Previously: #27 - I was scared I was going to lose my Bears pick Sunday when Joe Webb replaced Christian Ponder. Webb inexplicably struggled, however. What happened? Hmm...
The Adventures of Derek Anderson's Magic Flask!
Joe Webb: This sucks. I'm so much better than that Ponder guy, but my coach doesn't want to start me for some reason. I need a drink.
Derek Anderson: Diiiid yewww sayyy drriiinnkkk? Iffff yewww wannanerrr beeee startunnn quarrrrbaaakk havvve a sssipp offff thissssss hic!
Joe Webb: I'll do anything to be the starter.
*** Ten minutes later... ***
Joe Webb: Whooooaaaa wwwuutttt cooolorrr issss myyy teeeammm I foorrrgoott I'lll jussss throwwwww tooo raanddddommzzz ppeeeopplleezzz!!!
The sad thing is that Drunken Webb is still better than Ponder.
26. Buffalo Bills (6-10) - Previously: #26 - Happy New Year! Wait, I won't get in trouble for saying that, will I?
Here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter (all from Facebook friend Jay B):
1. "aaron rodgerss should be mvp"
Apparently there is more than one Aaron Rodgers.
2. "Joe Flacco sux man lmaoooo"
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
3. "your mom like the chargers. How do I know?? SHE TALKS IN HER SLEEP BOOM"
And boom goes the dynamite.
25. Washington Redskins (5-11) - Previously: #24 - I love this story. ESPN 980 Washington reported Monday that Redskins inside linebacker Rocky McIntosh "stuffed his bed with pillows/blankets to make it look like he was in and not breaking curfew" during the team's trip to Philadelphia.
Stupid Rocky. His friend Cameron told him not to take his father's 1961 Ferrari GT California, but nooooooo, Rocky got caught because he just didn't listen.
24. Chicago Bears (8-8) - Previously: #23 - Ugh, how snake-bitten are the Bears? If losing Jay Cutler and Matt Forte wasn't enough, they may not have Brian Urlacher ready for the beginning of next year. My condolences, Chicago fans.
Hey, at least Mike Tice isn't your defensive coordinator. Moving him into that spot may seem silly, but that's what the Eagles did with Juan Castillo. As promised, here's my interview with Castillo:
Me: Hey Juan, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
Juan Castillo: No problem, Walter.
Me: Your defense struggled early, but really improved in the final quarter of the season. What was the major difference?
Juan Castillo: Our players worked really hard, and the coaching staff worked really hard, and when you work really hard and believe in yourself, good things happen.
Me: But most NFL players work hard. Were there any schematic changes? I noticed you played more man in the final few games.
Juan Castillo: We played more man coverage, but we believed in ourselves and worked hard, and we prepared for our opponent, and when you work hard and believe in yourself, and prepare as best as you can, good things happen.
Me: What about Nnamdi Asomugha? What was the reason for his turn-around late in the year?
Juan Castillo: No one works harder and prepares better than Nnamdi. You should see how hard he works in practice every day and how much he prepares for his opponent each week.
Me: But I'm sure Nnamdi has always worked hard. Why did he suddenly improve in the final few games?
Juan Castillo: Nnamdi just continued to work hard and believe in himself. It was the belief in himself that really carried him. If you work hard, believe in yourself and give it your all, good...
Me: Yeah, I know, good things happen. What sort of things do you need to do to improve this defense next year?
Juan Castillo: I need to continue to work hard and to believe in myself. I need to prepare for my opponents and give it my all, and if that happens, our defense will improve because the players work hard and try hard, and they believe in themselves.
Me: Why do I feel like I'm talking to a broken record here?
Juan Castillo: Because you work hard and you believe in yourself, and you prepared for this interview. I've always admired your Web site, Walter, because you work hard and give it your all, and from what I can tell, you believe in yourself, and you prepare for the games each week.
Me: Why, thank you. By the way, what's your favorite cheesesteak spot in Philly?
Juan Castillo: My favorite is Station in the Krewstown shopping center in Northeast Philadelphia.
Me: Really? Mine too!
Juan Castillo: The workers at Station work hard and believe in themselves, and they prepare the food really well. They give it their all and work hard at making the best food possible, and when you work hard and believe in yourself, good things happen.
Me: How'd I know you were going to say that? All this talk about cheesesteaks has me hungry. Do you know the fastest way to get to Station from Feasterville? I take Bustleton, but there's always too much traffic.
Juan Castillo: I don't know the fastest way, but I have no doubt you'll find the fastest way there if you work hard and believe in yourself. If you prepare for the car ride over and believe in yourself and work hard and give it your all, you'll get there fast.
Me: Juan, if I wasn't so hungry, I'd strangle you right now.
23. New York Jets (8-8) - Previously: #14 - Why has Mark Sanchez regressed so much? Is it a lack of talent? Poor football IQ? No. Here's why:
If I were dating that, I seriously doubt I would have the motivation to improve as a quarterback.

World Briefs: South Korea pushes to guarantee safety at Olympics
World Briefs: France to skip 2018 Games if security risk too great
Trump orders new sanctions to tighten screws on N.Korea nuclear program
South Korea pushes to guarantee safety at Olympics
South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said on Wednesday the country is pushing to ensure security at the upcoming Pyeongchang Olympic Games amid the escalating standoff over North Korea's nuclear weapons programs.
During a meeting in New York with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, Moon said that South Korea has always hosted global sports events successfully despite being technically at war with the North, according to a South Korean presidential official.
Tillerson: Iran deal must be changed for U.S. to remain
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Tuesday the Iran nuclear agreement must be changed or the United States could not remain part of the pact.
Tillerson, in an interview on Fox News, said the so-called sunset clauses, under which some of the 2015 deal's restrictions on Iran's nuclear program expire over time, were of particular concern.
"If we're going to stick with the Iran deal there has to be changes made to it. The sunset provisions simply is not a sensible way forward," Tillerson said. "It's just simply ... kicking the can down the road again for someone in the future to have to deal with."
Egypt's Sisi urges Palestinians to co-exist with Israelis
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi urged the Palestinians to overcome their differences and be ready to co-exist with each other and with Israelis in safety and security.
Following Egyptian-mediated reconciliation talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Western-backed Fatah faction, Islamist Hamas said on Sunday it would dissolve its "administrative committee" to enable the president's administration to retake control in the Gaza Strip.
Suu Kyi ignores Myanmar ethnic cleansing charges
Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Tuesday condemned rights abuses in Rakhine state and said violators would be punished, but she did not address U.N. accusations of ethnic cleansing, drawing cool international responses and calls for action to help minority Muslims.
Suu Kyi made the remarks in her first address to the nation since attacks by Rohingya Muslim insurgents on Aug. 25 led to a military response that has forced 421,000 Rohingya Muslims, more than half of them children, into neighboring Bangladesh.
Western diplomats and aid officials, hoping for an unequivocal condemnation of violence and hate speech, welcomed the tone of the Nobel Peace laureate's message, but some doubted if she had done enough to deflect global criticism.
Long fetedas a champion of democracy in the Buddhist-majority country during years of military rule and house arrest, Suu Kyi has faced growing criticism for saying little about abuses faced by the Rohingya.

The primary objectives of these meetings were to finalize the design development of the "Initial Station" amateur radio hardware for ISS and to develop a more effective understanding and advocacy of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program within NASA and Energia. In addition to representatives from NASA and Energia, the ARISS "Initial Station" hardware development teams from the US, Russia, Germany and Italy were invited to participate in the meetings. The Initial Station design, solidified during the July 1998 ARISS meeting in Surrey, England, consists of 2 meter and 70 cm handheld radios, a packet radio system and power supplies, provided by the US team, a Digitalker, provided by the German team, antenna feedthroughs and power and space accommodations provided by the Russian team and the development of an antenna system which is led by the Italian delegation. NASA will be providing a Space Shuttle launch to transport the Initial Station hardware to the ISS and has financially supported the flight qualification of the Initial Station Hardware. Some of the testing required by NASA and Energia to flight qualify this hardware includes the development of a safety analysis package, hardware performance testing, ISS interface testing, electromagnetic interference testing, and toxic chemical offgassing testing. Both NASA and Energia are intimately involved in the external outfitting of the planned antennas systems through special astronaut spacewalks or EVAs. The following ARISS team members from various IARU and AMSAT organizations were invited to attend and participate in these meetings: Sergej Samburov, RV3DR, Representing Energia, AMSAT-Russia and ARISS-Russia Ron Parise, WA4SIR, Representing the ARISS-US Hardware Delegation Lou McFadin, W5DID, Representing the ARISS-US Hardware Delegation Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, Representing NASA, AMSAT-NA, and ARISS-US Matt Bordelon, KC5BTL, Representing NASA and ARISS-US Thomas Kieselbach, DL2MDE, Representing the ARISS-German Hardware Delegation Alberto Zagni, I2KBD, Representing the ARISS-Italian Hardware Delegation Fabrizio Bernardini, I0QIT, Representing the ARISS-Italian Hardware Delegation Luca Bertagnolio, IK2OVV, Representing the ARISS-Italian Hardware Delegation During the meeting, Sergej Samburov, RV3DR, the President of AMSAT-Russia in Moscow and the Chief of the Cosmonaut Amateur Radio Department at Energia, confirmed that 4 dual-use antenna feedthroughs have been installed on the Russian Service Module. These dual-use feedthroughs are expected to support amateur radio operations and ISS proximity video capability during Russian and US spacewalks. He also confirmed his strong desire to work with the ARISS international partners to develop a single, coordinated amateur radio station on ISS. Key NASA official stated that they, too, need a single, international focal point to coordinate amateur radio development and operations on ISS if amateur radio on ISS is to have a future. During the meeting, these NASA officials were extremely pleased with the high level of flight hardware expertise and on-orbit operations knowledge that the ARISS international partners are providing to NASA and Energia. The ARISS international team was formed over two years ago to provide this single focal point to the space officials at NASA (US), Energia (Russia), NASDA (Japan) and ESA (Europe). Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, AMSAT-NA's Vice President for Human Spaceflight Programs, commented, "I was extremely impressed with the tremendous teamwork, camaraderie and cooperation that the ARISS International Partners exhibited during these pivotal meetings with NASA and Energia. Together we share a common vision to develop and operate a multifaceted amateur radio station on ISS that will be a great recreational outlet for the on-orbit crews, an exciting DXpedition station for hams on the ground and an outstanding educational outreach tool for students." In the near future, additional information from these meetings will be provided including discussions on: ARISS Initial Configuration & Delivery Schedule to ISS Antenna System Design Antenna Locations on Service Module and initial plans for ARISS EVAs Meetings with NASA Senior Managers Digitalker design ARISS Frequencies Future installation of an SSTV system Express Pallet opportunities The ARISS hardware team discussed and reaffirmed their long planned commitment to solicit proposals from the amateur radio community to develop follow-on amateur radio hardware for ISS. Proposals chosen to proceed forward would then be coordinated through a NASA/Energia employee-based radio working group that would negotiate power, volume and operations scenarios for the proposed equipment. The ARISS international team is composed of representatives from the IARU and AMSAT societies in Russia, Italy, Germany, England, France, Canada, Japan and the US. The Space Amateur Radio EXperiment (SAREX) Working Group provides the US hardware and administrative representation to the ARISS international team. Within the US, they coordinate the US hardware development, operations and educational outreach activities for the ARRL, AMSAT-NA and NASA. ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Photonics Explorer
EYESTvzw is responsible for the exclusive distribution of the Photonics Explorer intra curricular educational kit . The kit equips teachers with class set of experimental material provided within a supporting didactic framework. If the kits are sponsored for schools by industry, governmental and educational authorities, organisations or foundations, the kits can be given to teachers but only in conjunction with teacher training courses. In case no sponsorship is available the Local Associated Partner is also allowed to ask a payment to the schools for the Photonics Explorer kit itself, but also in conjunction with a teacher training.
The Photonics Explorer has been developed by an international team of teachers and experts in pedagogy from 11 EU countries to fit into diverse educational systems and teacher cultures, as part of an FP7 European project. The project was initiated by the Brussels Photonics Team (B-PHOT) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and brought together European industry, scientists at universities, teachers in secondary schools and several students!
The kit has been extensively tested with nearly 2000 students in 7 EU countries and the didactic content is currently available in 13 EU languages; Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Experimental Components:
To let students experience the excitement of doing science with their own hands, they need robust, versatile and safe experimental equipment. Therefore, each Photonics Explorer kit contains a class set of the following components for hands-on experiments. The provided experimental equipment is sufficient to let a class of up to 30 students work in small groups of 2 to 3 students:
- 10 aluminium mirrors (7x7 cm)
- 10 colour filter sets (7x4 cm) including red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow
- 10 LED modules with red, green and blue LEDs
- 10 sets of robust plastic lenses with the focal lengths 30 mm, -30 mm, and 150 mm
- 20 polarisers (7x5 cm)

Hello, I have an eight month old cavalier named Wilson. He is my first cavalier and a real sweetie. I have been reading and learning so much from this site since January when I got Wilson. Now to my question. I am wondering at what point do you start to wean them from potty treats. He is doing really well so I don't want to backslide. He has had two pee and one poo accident since april. I have had a few people comment about still giving him treats for that. I feel like its important to continue with treats but after a few comments I began to wonder. Thanks

Beauty Byte: Kate Moss Kicks Off Her Fragrance
Kate Moss really is everywhere lately, jetting from the Topshop offices in London earlier this week to a hip soiree in Morocco yesterday. According to Women's Wear Daily, supermodel Moss was in Marrakesh to celebrate her fragrance, called Kate, which we first heard about in December. The signature scent hits the European and Asian markets in September. The scent will roll out in U.S. stores in 2008.
WWD spoke with Bernd Beetz, CEO of Coty, the license holder for the fragrance. (Is it just me, or does Coty handle pretty much every celebrity scent?) According to the story:
The beauty giant aims to capitalize on the wide-ranging appeal that has kept Moss the toast of the fashion set and a household name for two decades.
"[We will] tap into consumer groups that we haven't tapped into before," said Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty, who added the company is building its portfolio on fashion-, designer- and celebrity-oriented pillars. "[Moss] overlaps fashion and celebrity."
Classified as a floral musk and clad in pink-and-black packaging, Kate will cost about $27 to $60, depending on the size. Not surprisingly, Moss herself will appear in the ads for the product. Will you buy the eau de Kate?

(Adds competitive details, analyst comment, updates shares)
By Ransdell Pierson and Bill Berkrot
May 2 (Reuters) - Gilead Sciences Inc on Thursday said almost all patients taking a fixed-dose combination of two of its experimental hepatitis C drugs appeared to have eliminated the liver virus after either eight weeks or 12 weeks of treatment in a small mid-stage study.
The data should strengthen the widely held perception that Gilead is leading the race among many companies to bring to market a highly curative, all-oral regimen with shorter treatment durations for the serious liver disease. Gilead shares rose 5 percent after the data was released.
Calling them "excellent results," Stifel analyst Joel Sendek said in a research note, "We see Gilead further increasing the pressure on its hepatitis C competitors with positive Phase II Lonestar trial data evaluating a short 8-week regimen of sofosbuvir plus ledipasvir."
AbbVie and Bristol-Myers Squibb are also developing highly promising all-oral hepatitis C treatments, seen as not far behind Gilead. But those regimens require patients to take many more pills each day than does Gilead's.
The Gilead combination pill is taken once a day and is being tested with and without the older drug ribavirin, which is typically taken twice a day.
Current treatments introduced in 2011 must still be taken with ribavirin and the injected drug interferon, which causes miserable flu-like symptoms and leads many patients to delay or discontinue treatment. The current standard treatment takes either 24 or 48 weeks. The new combinations are attempting to cut the duration to 12 weeks, or as few as eight.
Gilead is expected to have a new hepatitis C treatment approved next year.
Based on the favorable interim data from the Lonestar trial of 60 previously untreated patients, Gilead said it plans to conduct a third late-stage study of the once-daily fixed-dose combination tablet pairing sofosbuvir and ledipasvir.
The new Phase III trial, called ION-3, will enroll 600 patients new to treatment who have the most common and difficult to treat genotype 1 form of hepatitis C, Gilead said.
It will evaluate the combination tablet for eight weeks of treatment, with and without ribavirin, as well as for 12 weeks without ribavirin. An all-oral combination with high cure rates that does not include ribavirin, which also has some tough to tolerate side effects, would be viewed by doctors and patients as a huge advantage over those that include the older drug.
Wall Street expects any approved oral regimen for hepatitis C to garner billions of dollars in annual sales.
Gilead said all 19 patients in the Lonestar trial who took its combo pill for 12 weeks had a sustained virologic response (SVR), meaning they had no detectable signs of the virus, as assessed by blood tests given four weeks after completing therapy. They will be followed for a further 20 weeks. Any patient in whom the virus is undetectable 24 weeks after completing treatment is deemed to be cured.
In another arm of the trial, 40 of 41 patients who took the tablet for eight weeks were deemed free of the virus eight weeks after they completed treatment. The one patient who relapsed was from a group that took the combo tablet but not ribavirin, the company said. That may suggest that 12 weeks of treatment will be necessary if ribavirin is not part of the regimen.
Gilead also tested 40 patients who had failed to be helped by current treatments, half of them with cirrhosis - an indication of advanced disease. Ninety-five percent of those more difficult to treat patients had no sign of the virus four weeks after completing 12 weeks of the combination pill either with or without ribavirin, according to preliminary results.
Hepatitis C affects an estimated 170 million people worldwide, and if left untreated can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer or the need for a new liver. Current treatments include use of interferon, an injectable drug that causes flu-like symptoms.
Gilead shares were up $2.49 at $52.62 in midday trading on Nasdaq. (Reporting By Ransdell Pierson and Bill Berkrot; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Nick Zieminski)

OSP vs. Shogun: Actual (LEGAL) Footage of the Brutal Finish
Sometimes we hate being right. Last night on Twitter, we predicted Ovince St. Preux would run through Mauricio "Shogun" Rua without effort. We had no idea how prescient our tweet would be.
As you can see above, OSP dispatched the Pride legend without even exerting himself. It only took 34 seconds. To make it worse, Shogun absorbed a ton of unnecessary damage as Mario Yamasaki let OSP batter the Brazilian's skull. Such slack-jawed gawking aside, this fight was entertaining for the violent spectacle that it was. OSP isn't a man to write off, and Shogun definitely needs to retire in this point.
There were some other fights last night as well, but they weren't really anything to write home about (and if you did wrote home about them, you'd get a reply that's like "What are you talking about? Who the fuck are these people?"). But in case you're one of the TRUE HARDCORE ULTIMATE BAD BOYZ who comments about how much we hate MMA on our Facebook page, we'll post the card's full results.

Signed at age 17 by Toronto FC, Sanyang made his debut on his 18th birthday, August 1, 2009, playing 14 minutes as a reserve versus New England. His first start came two weeks later in midfield versus D.C. United. He went on to play in 20 regular season games over two seasons, starting 15.
Sanyang, 19, was a free agent. Toronto had declined to exercise an option on Sanyang on December 3, 2010.
"Positionally, Amadou is a good fit for us because he can play either central midfield or in the back," said Coach Sigi Schmid. "He's a good passer, a good defender, and he can cover a lot of ground."
Sanyang's professional career began in 2007 with Real de Banjul. He helped lead the City Boys to the Gambian first division championship and was named the league's top midfielder that year. Sanyang has also represented Gambia internationally at the U-17 and U-20 levels.
Not eligible to see action in MLS until turning 18, Sanyang played for the Toronto FC Academy for the first five months.
Position: Midfielder
Height: 6-0
Weight: 165

MABTON – A plan to raise the sewer rates for Mabton's residential, commercial and agricultural users was placed on hold this past Tuesday night.
After discussing the pros and cons of increasing the sewer rates by $3 each month, the Mabton City Council decided to table that action.
Councilman Mario Martinez made the point that city water rates need to be addressed. He noted the city has been experiencing equipment breakdowns due to maintenance issues, and that Mabton now finds itself in need of a new well, plus a new pump for the city's primary well.
He explained that before Mabton can begin seeking money to drill a new well, the city needs to prove it is willing to increase water rates, which will make it easier to secure funding from outside sources to help in drilling a new well.
"It was that same pro-active approach which proved lucrative for the city when it sought grants and loans to fund the city's wastewater treatment plant (upgrades)," Martinez explained.
"We need to have that same pro-active attitude regarding the water rates," he added.
Martinez suggested the council table the $3 sewer rate increase and consider a $1.50 monthly increase for both water and sewer utility bills, effective Jan. 1, 2014.
"The council should have been making regular small increases in the water and sewer rates all along," agreed Mayor Vera Zavala, "But we have to start somewhere."
Mabton City Clerk-Trea-surer Ret Stewart advised the council that the preliminary budget numbers for 2014 will change if the council decides to increase both public utility rates.
"But I agree it is a smart move at this time," she said.
Earlier during Tuesday night's council meeting the council held a public hearing to take public comments regarding the 2014 Mabton preliminary budget. The mayor closed the hearing just one minute after opening the hearing as no one from the public was on hand to make comments.

ATLANTA (AP) — Police around Atlanta were searching for a suspect Monday after a woman was shot in the middle of the afternoon in a mall's parking lot.
A man and a woman were involved in some sort of fight just before the shooting outside Cumberland Mall in northwest Atlanta, Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce said.
The man shot the woman, fired at a bystander who tried to help her and then shot the woman again, he said. The bystander wasn't injured and details on the woman's injuries and identity weren't immediately available, Pierce said.
The bullet that missed the bystander hit a wall of a nearby department store, Pierce said. He added that the mall was relatively busy when the shots were fired, and about 25 cars were parked inside an area police cordoned off while they investigated the shooting.
The shooting outside of a Macy's department store didn't appear to be random, and it's unclear what the two were arguing about, Pierce said.
Witnesses told investigators that the shooter got in the passenger seat of a white van and left. It was unclear if the suspect was a passenger, or if the man got into the driver's seat, Pierce said.
The suspect is described as a heavyset black man in his 50s with short hair. He was last seen wearing glasses, a gray shirt and a blue hat, Pierce said. The van he was riding in was fitted with a ladder rack on top and had a white tube running from the front to back, Pierce said.

Last December, Apple's iPhone 5 and ultrabooks topped my list of the top technology developments for 2012. They didn't disappoint as the iPhone 5 featured the bigger screen and 4G LTE connectivity that Apple fans had long anticipated, and computer makers released a full slate of super-thin and lightweight Windows laptops to rival Apple's MacBook Air.
Nintendo's Wii U and the iPad 3 also landed on the chart, but they didn't quite live up to hype. The latter was quickly replaced with a 4th generation iPad about six months after introduction, leaving early adopters miffed. Reviews for the Wii U have been average to above average.
The 2013 list will once again feature two Apple products because the company, deservedly or not, is still enjoying unmatched consumer demand for its goods. But unlike the past couple of years, Apple is facing mounting pressure to deliver a ground-breaking product in 2013.

always take it with youTuesday, January 22, 2008
As I left the house today, I realized that I forgot my knitting. So I ran back into the house to get it. You see, I really never feel comfortable going anywhere without it. I debated for a moment on taking my camera, and then decided against it. I wish I would have grabbed that too, because then I could have showed my car, being towed away. I had just exited a bridge (I am so thankful) and came down the ramp, and kerplunk. The engine was still running, however, it just wouldn't go. So, I coasted to the side of the road, and made a few phone calls. One to the towing service, and one for a ride home. (My father-in-law came through again.) The man on the phone at the towing service told me they could be there within the hour. I glanced over at my knitting bag and told him "take your time".

what a bummer! i guess that puts the tear in your leather into perspective...ReplyDelete
hope your hella fresh ride gets fixed soon.
What a major drag, glad your bff knitting was there to take away the pain!ReplyDelete
oh, man...sorry to hear about your car troubles. what a drag. and I am SURE that the towing people don't hear "take your time" very often. ;) you made me smile with that one.ReplyDelete
Oh! I am so sorry to hear this happened but am glad you're ok.ReplyDelete
I have made the mistake of leaving the house without my knitting. Not. Good. I just don't mind waiting anywhere as long as I have it with me.
Bummer about the car, but thank goodness for having your knitting. Personally, I feel a little lost out there in the world without mine. Not so much without the camera.ReplyDelete
just threw some yarn into my carry on! i am glad you are ok - hope the car is ok too.ReplyDelete
Nothing is more frustrating than a car that won't run!!! GRRR. And what I really adore is when the tow truck guy asks you if you want a lift to the garage? The last one that came to give me a jump was definitely Ted Bundy's brother. You are lucky to have such a good FIL and we are all fortunate to have that bag of knitting in the back. Hope today is better.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reminding me! I have left my knitting behind on long trips before and it's feels like going through withdrawals symptoms:)ReplyDelete
Super sweet father-in-law and really happy to hear you are safe!
- bigbucketgirl1/23/2008
Oh dear! but good job about the knitting? i always have to take a doodle pad wherever i go and if i can manage it a small embroidery hoop with some threads and a needle!ReplyDelete
I love the name of your blog...i had to make a gift recently and without a friend to knit with i would have been up the creek without a paddle and would have thrown the towel in! 'Real' knitters like you are very inspiring for knitters like me!
A perfect example to show my husband. He doesn't get why I have to have a project for every room and every journey. I tell him, you never know when you're going to find yourself stuck with some time to kill.ReplyDelete
Sorry about the car, but TGFK. :)
Thank goodness you had your knittin ;)ReplyDelete
Sorry about your car though. Glad you are OK.
I'm sorry for your car troubles-yuck! I'm glad your Father-in_law was there to help.ReplyDelete
However, I'm with you on the knitting bag. I am so upset with myself when I am without it. I have even tried getting a few stitches in at the bank. (And we live in a very small town so the line is always very short.:))
I never think to take my knitting with me for times like that (which thankfully are very very rare). Actually last week we hit traffic coming home from piano lesson (there was an overturned truck on the road!) and we were stuck for an hour - yup, that would have been a good time to whip out my needles. I hope your car is all fixed now.ReplyDelete
It's always great to know you can always rely on (among other things) your knitting to calm you down even in those unfortunate circumstances! I only carry mine if am not driving but I can see why I need to bring it along always, just in case.ReplyDelete
Hope your car get fixed soon!
I had to laugh (not about your car dying) because I never leave home without some knitting because of that very situation...you just never know when you will have to wait and if I didn't have knitting I would go insane I say!ReplyDelete
I never leave the house without my knitting... You never know when something will happen or you'll be stuck in traffic... ! Yep, I knit in traffic!ReplyDelete
Ew, scary car things, not fun, but how glad are you that you brought you knitting, right?ReplyDelete
Always take the knitting. Failure to do so will absolutely result in a two-hour jam on the freeway. Also, when traveling, pack the extra yarn inside the car, not in the rooftop carrier (because your husband will look at you like you've gone over the edge when you ask him to pull over on the freeway in a raging storm to get an extra ball).ReplyDelete
Sorry about the car, but at least you had the knitting!

If your laptop connects to the internet, then you need an online security suite. There are is ever-growing choice available offering the same sort of tools, ranging from antivirus, spam, spyware and phishing protection, to firewall, parental tools and even privacy protection.
This new package has all the features we've come to expect from a security suite, but the footprint is a lot smaller, so you won't find it as resource-heavy as previous versions. We tested it out on a budget laptop with a Celeron M processor and 1024MB of memory and found it ran smoothly with little or no lag.
Trend Micro may not be one of the biggest names in the market, but this latest version works exceedingly well. The look has been updated, but remains easy to understand and simple to use.
Two scans simultaneously
Previous versions have allowed for antivirus and spyware scans to run at different times, which means longer scanning sessions. Thankfully, this has been resolved in this release, as they are run at the same time.
When it comes to checking for malware, this runs constantly in the background, checking the behaviour of your laptop and looking for anything out of the ordinary. This heuristic approach is a lot more impressive in this version and worked well.
There are two versions of the software available; the basic version costs £50 (inc. VAT), but lacks Remote File Lock, which is a neat solution should you have your laptop stolen or it gets lost, as it allows you to create a virtual vault that can remotely lock away all your data, so unauthorised users won't be able to touch your files.
Increasingly, we all have more than one laptop in the home, so you'll find this package covers up to three machines for the one price, making it a cost-effective purchase. Trend Micro Internet Security Pro has an impressive array of tools that work well together and is a great improvement over earlier versions.

They were guilty of trespassing, handed a summons by police and told to leave. But they had no intention of committing any offense.
Members of a troupe of circus artists — hand balancers, a contortionist, a fire breather — simply wanted to shoot photos showcasing their talents inside what's left of Six Flags New Orleans, the former Jazzland Theme Park, in east New Orleans.
"We want people to get a better understanding of why we do what we do," said Lorelei Ashe, an aerialist. "We were facing our fears in an abandoned park."
It has been tough for the multitalented group of artists to watch the amusement park die.
The grand park, once featuring rides such as the Mega Zeph, Ozarka Splash and The Big Easy, has been shuttered since Hurricane Katrina floodwaters overwhelmed the place in August 2005.
Last year, city officials gave the green light to investors to turn the land into an upscale outlet mall with adjacent amusement park, but nothing has developed since.
So one day, the artsy troupe decided to make its way in, during the day, when the light was ripe for picture taking.
"It's all opened and abandoned, and we actually made it nicer," Ashe said. "There was trash everywhere; we actually cleaned up a lot."
"It's all graffiti and run down, definitely dilapidated and trashed," she added. "You can tell kids have been drinking in there, making out in there, having a party in there.
"Thank God, none of us were arrested."
The group of eight friends took several reconnaisance trips to Jazzland to scout locations for the shoot. Each time, the gates were open, and the artists simply drove in, Armbruster said.
On the final day, several of the participants were discovered by police and issued citations for trespassing. The citations later were waived.
Other than that, "we only encountered others once: a couple that were exploring the park, taking pictures," Armbruster said.
There was a theater just inside the park gates. "I never knew it existed when the park was open, but we just loved the Steampunk-ish vibe of the stage," Armbruster said.
"Trespass" — an art opening, documentary screening and live performance — takes place Saturday at the St. Joe Lofts in the Warehouse District.
The public is invited and admission is free. There will be live music and carnival snacks.
"We are all dedicated to doing more art in New Orleans and having that change New Orleans for the better," Ashe said.
Other performers in the production are Sam Bourgeois, Ginger Schweikart, Aaron Lind, Leah Kahn and Brett Oncale.
Todd Whittington is filmmaker and Armbruster is photographer and producer.

Getting a fix on indoor location
With companies looking to replicate what GPS for an indoor environment, IMS Research believes that several methods are likely to be successful as research and development heats up among many companies.
Locating a smartphone in an outdoors environment is straightforward, with the inclusion of GPS technology in more than 90 percent of smartphones providing this functionality. However, GPS becomes less useful in built-up areas and can be useless indoors. A range of solutions are vying to replicate what GPS does outdoors in an indoor environment, from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth to 'terrestrial' GPS, plus many others - which one is likely to be successful? IMS Research, recently acquired by IHS Inc., feels the answer will not simply be just 'one.'
Indoor location enables a number of exciting applications that may previously have been considered impossible, for both the consumer and the venue owner. Not only can it provide analytics, tracking footfall and understanding consumer behavior, but also improve the shopping experience, helping the consumer to find a particular store or product. Whilst these examples are useful, the real benefit and revenue generation is likely to arrive in the shape of advertising.
Bluetooth in Nokia's HAIP variety can provide accuracies claimed to be less than one meter, making it suitable for 'aisle level' positioning. NextNav is beginning to roll out a technology described as 'terrestrial GPS' in the United States, utilizing transmitters based on the ground, instead of satellites, and the existing GPS chipsets found in many smartphones. Other solutions include the IMES system in Japan and cellular-based solutions from companies such as Path Intelligence.
Whilst the roll out of commercial solutions has only recently begun, Wi-Fi has, to date, been the primary technology used. "Its high penetration in smartphones, combined with an existing infrastructure of access points, in venues such as shopping malls and airports etc., means minimal additional investment is required to support some level of positioning solution," noted Alex West, Connectivity and Location research director at IMS Research. "For this reason, a range of different companies from Google, to Qualcomm and CSR, to Qubulus, all have solutions incorporating Wi-Fi." Current location accuracies through Wi-Fi make it suitable for 'store-level' positioning but less so for 'product' or 'aisle-level', although IMS Research forecasts that consumers exposure to store-level accuracy will drive demand for aisle/product-level accuracy.
In reality, it is unlikely that one solution will meet all requirements, and amongst recent announcements is CSR's SiRFusion platform, which utilizes not only Wi-Fi, but also cellular and MEMS sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, to provide a hybrid solution. MEMS sensors, which are becoming increasingly common in smartphones, are expected to play a bigger part in positioning, not only improving accuracy levels but also aiding in cutting down power consumption.
Other leading IC suppliers, including Broadcom and Qualcomm, have announced solutions incorporating these technologies, and Bluetooth in some cases, with the necessary software. As such a more accurate indoor positioning service is expected to be included on smartphones over the next 12 months, and is expected to provide the platform for the many apps and services that are being developed utilizing indoor location.

After two years of economic concerns, manufacturing leaders once again have homed in on the single biggest issue facing their operations:
It's the workers—or more specifically, the lack of workers.
The 2017 Plant Engineering Salary Survey looks at not just what plant managers make, but what they think. As they look across their plants today, plant managers say they don't have the operational depth to take on the new technologies and new challenges of global manufacturing.

"When you look at the world of entertainment outside of gaming, there are many genres, but the most popular in film, television and literature always seems to just be basic, run-of-the-mill drama." | Explosion.com
I think it's improving day by day. Consider the Walking Dead game. It's more like a movie and a lot less like a game.
we need more gameplay in games to elevate the medium.
Why bother 'elevating' to the level of mediums which many people find irrelevant...
You cannot put true 'drama' in most games. Angry birds with deep emotional attachment? Mass effect with a heart rending scene involving disabled kids and heroin?
I Agree.
Drama is not a must in all games but in order for that Genre to grow it has to be able to convey all of the genres of the other mediums.
But the problem is how do you do that and still make things fun
or still give the player a sense of control

I recently posted a new activity called Moon, available on the wiki at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Moon It is a v1 release, but will show current real-time Moon phase and eclipse information (you can watch it change blood red in a day or so if you can't get to watch the next eclipse for real).
I'm aware that the information presented on the left of the screen is likely to be too advanced for the XOs target demographic, but I would like to get some feedback from educators (or interested students) as to the level of detail that would be useful, before I start to simplify the content.
My plan at the moment is to split the information panel in two, and have a few clear/key information texts in one half, and a mini-calendar view in the other so a range of phases can be seen at one time.
Please feel free to add you feedback to the bottom of the Moon wiki page, or reply here.

Pittsburgh Auto Show: Reach for the Cars - 2/11/10
Red, white, and black automobile-inspired décor masked the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and transformed the venue into a "Reach for the Cars" party that fueled guests to rev their engines and help local charities. More than 150 cocktail-attired guests attended the event, hosted by the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Association. The guest list was comprised of a number of dealership owners and members of the Automobile Dealers Association Board of Directors. The VIP Lounge-themed party overlooked the 2010 Pittsburgh International Auto Show, a set-up that allowed guests to view the many domestic and foreign vehicles on display while enjoying live music courtesy of Kenny Blake. Fifteen local charities, including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh, and Family House, were chosen by the auto dealers and Automobile Dealers Association Board of Directors to receive donations from proceeds gathered at the benefit lounge party.

I've been attempting to get a couple games that contain cdda audio to play faster, or at all.
And I was wondering if it'd be possible to burn their cdda tracks, get this... as cdda tracks??
My app of choice would be Bootdreams, which allows the buring of cdda. Well the thing is I'm running low on discs due to quite a few mistakes on bitrates and the like.
If I burned a single game disc instead of burning a boot disc and swapping, and use Bootdreams to add the games cdda audio, would ScummVM recognize the track(s)?
And if it did, would it be able to access the track data faster/better?
You can burn the tracks as CDDA and the music will obviously be better quality than the MP3 compressed tracks. There's one major drawback, the DC will be streaming the CDDA but also reading game data from the CDR so overall performance of the game will be worse - you'll get more music skipping and even long pauses as the game data loads.
