Hello friends, I hope you all are enjoying the new year so far. For today, let's go back to 2009 for an Essential Mix put together by Sander van Doorn. I believe 2009-2010 were the last couple of years in which Sander played mostly techy tunes before he changed up his style. He has always been known for playing quality stuff regardless of the genre, however recently it seems like he has been bitten by the electro bug as his sets feature considerably more electro-house. I prefer his older style more, but you can't blame a guy for diversifying his sound. This mix has 5 SvD productions/remixes, including the very hot Bliksem made under his revived Purple Haze alias. The SvD remix of The Killers' Spaceman was also another big jam in 2009, as was Bastillon towards the end of the year. Some other favorites of mine are Sasha's remix of Jetstream and Marco V's Digital Enemy. Markus' Chinook was another monster and the Simmons & Machiavelli remix of Omen is another wild one. 2009 was also the breakthrough year for Ummet Ozcan, a talented Doorn Records producer, and his mix of Ronald van Gelderen's Backstabberzz can be found at the end of the show. You will find Sander's usual crisp and flawless mixing throughout this set as he starts with house and ends with trance. It's a good thing we still have these older SvD mixes to fall back on because the tracklists are money and the performances are exceptional. Take a listen below to hear a great mix from one of my favorite DJs.

Nine girls
They're all in New York. Yes, even Miss Sophia in head to toe red. And Dame Judi Dench looking sharp in stripes. All of them in New York for the Nine junket, all of them gamely doing press in support of the film including one-on-one interviews for a long list of television outlets, print round tables, breakfast events…and more.
They say there can be drama, but there can also be so much reward. No one wants to be left out. No one wants to do less than anyone else. Which is why no one says NO to anything. And this is clearly the case for the female cast of Nine.
So here they are – Third Lip Granny Freeze with a weave, Fergie, Kate Hudson in a chic blue suit, and Penelope Cruz rolling up with my Marion Cotillard last night at the Pippa Lee screening. Glorious. Love it so much when girls are friends. Some girls.
THESE girls.
What a list. Only Fergie and Kate Hudson haven't won Oscars. Please. Must see.

Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it's across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls "Christmasland."
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx's unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He's on the road again and he's picked up a new passenger: Vic's own son.
First off, a confession: I'm not a big Stephen King fan, I've only read a few of his books and short stories. As for his son, Joe Hill, this is the first of his work I've tried out.
Another important side-note, this time about the book: This is not a 'vampire book,' for anyone that might assume so from the title. Though the main character does drain energy from his victims in a fashion, if you come into this expecting a play on the current vampire craze, you'll get something different than what you expect. (This could be either good or bad depending on what you hope for.)
Now, onto the review:
NOS4A2 (or N0S4R2 in Europe) is really about Victoria McQueen's discovery of her power and what it does to her as she goes through life. Charles Manx, our villain, is more of a background
character until the last quarter of the book. It works out well this way, allowing Manx to provide the atmosphere and tension as we grow up with Victoria.
She learns at a young age that she has the power to call up an imaginary bridge into existence that allows her to travel anywhere she needs to go. She is not the only one with powers to travel using her imagination and learns as much when she meets a young woman, Maggie, who uses her own powers to give her a sort of psychic guidance using scrabble tiles. This is where Vic learns of Charlie Manx, his Rolls Royce Wraith, and Christmasland.
The story feels a bit slow at time, which is odd considering the handful of leaps through Victoria's life and she grows up and has a family of her own. As an adult, she eventually convinces herself that so many of her memories were a delusion, a psychotic break from her own encounter with Manx in her teenage years, that ended up with his arrest. It's only after the final 'skip-ahead' in her life, after Manx is again a threat to her and her son, that the story really picks up. That final act of the book feels like you are finally getting to the real story, and though the backstory had its place in building to that point, much of it felt padded.
The characters in the book are great. Watching Victoria grow up from innocent child to the dysfunctional adult through years of trying to make sense of the strange things she's experienced, years of being tormented by Manx's past victims, plus deal with her own crazy life is heartbreaking at times and felt like a fairly realistic way to address mixing the real world with the supernatural. No matter how much of a mess she's made her life, the reader roots for her to do what needs to be done by the end. Her husband Lou, for his small role, is a very lovable character, even to those in the story, and it's nice to see that, even though he wants to be the typical hero, to Vic he already has been by just being himself.
Charlie Manx and his assistant, Bing Partridge are both great villains. Manx obviously was the biggest danger of the book with supernatural powers, but the fact that I consistently pictured him as Gru from Despicable Me and his often goofy demeanor really didn't make him feel like a true threat at times. When he did take action however, his cruel enjoyment about his actions worked to his favor. Personally, I found Bing to be much more frightening, being not quite all there mentally and going about his evil work so casually, there was a realistic serial killer feel to the character. Both of the villains had good 'horror movie' appearances, the creepy old man Charlie in his dapper clothing and old car and Bing in his old military uniform and gas mask. It made quite good imagery as you pictured these characters going about there 'dispicable' deeds.
From the few Stephen King books I've read, Hill's work read very similarly, so I would imagine that any King fan would enjoy this work and possibly rate it even higher than the 4/5 I gave it. Coming from fantasy, where you get so much information about a story chapter after chapter, NOS4A2 felt a bit slow at times, but it was still a very engaging read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone out there looking to dive into a modern day horror story.

This procedure is done to return a
broken bone
to its proper alignment. An open fracture reduction involves cutting through the skin to realign the bones during an operation. Screws and a plate or external support frame may be needed to hold the fragments in place.
This procedure is used if the bone is in many pieces, is difficult to reduce, or wasn't reduced with a closed reduction.
Fracture reduction is done for the following reasons:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a fracture reduction, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor will likely do the following:
Leading up to the procedure:
Your doctor may give you:
A incision will be made in the skin covering the break. This is to expose the bone fragments. The bone fragments will be moved into their normal position. Screws, a plate with screws, or a rod may be used inside the body or an external frame fixed to the bone fragments may be used to hold the bones in place. The incision will be closed with stitches. The area will be protected with a splint or cast and dressings.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Another x-ray will be ordered to make sure the bone is in the correct position.
This depends on the type and location of the fracture.
You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
0-3 days (depending on the severity of the injury and your recovery)
Small bones usually heal in 3-6 weeks. Long bones will take more time. Your doctor may have you work with a physical therapist. Therapy can help you to regain normal function.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough insists that he and Mika Brzezinski are happy at MSNBC and are not shopping a new show around to other networks. We'd heard that the co-hosts of MSNBC's popular morning show were looking for a syndication deal and that CBS was interested. We also heard from multiple sources that "Morning Joe" executive producer Chris Licht was reaching out to other networks for a new job in case Scarborough and Brzezinski left. But Scarborough tells Page Six, "Mika and I are not 'shopping' a show to anyone. Nor have we since 'Morning Joe' was launched in 2007. Since that time, Mika and I have loved working side by side with Chris Licht and consider him to be a part of our family. Mika, Chris and I hope to be working together for decades to come. Anyone suggesting otherwise is not telling the truth."

Not a day goes by without the contract situations of Chelsea stalwarts Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard being paraded through the press. Although Cole's agent must be a relieved man to see his client in the papers every day for footballing reasons, there has to be a better way to handle the ongoing contractual issues.
It's no secret that both players are getting older and earning significant sums, so it's understandable that Chelsea are reluctant to offer either long-term deals committing a sizeable chunk of wages for a far from guaranteed return. But the reasoning behind the decisions, or even the decisions themselves, is not the real issue.
These are two players who may divide opinion as people but command respect as footballers - their contributions to the club's successes under the Roman Abramovich regime cannot be underestimated. If nothing else, they deserve the dignity of not having their futures discussed so readily in public by the club. It's natural that media outlets will speculate on their futures and debate the merits of possible outcomes, the club cannot stop that, but they don't have to fuel the flames either.
During his first public appearance as Interim Manager, Rafael Benitez stated that neither player would be offered a new deal to keep them at the club beyond the end of the current season. This from a man who when questioned about the impending arrival of Demba Ba after Chelsea's defeat to Queens Park Rangers, refused to comment due to the fact that he didn't know enough about the situation. Yet within 48 hours of accepting a position in charge of a football club, he felt he knew enough about two players whose hands he had barely shook to announce to anyone that would listen that they would not be employed beyond June.
This is not a scenario unique to Chelsea. Manchester United have handled the contracts of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand differently since the respective players have passed 30. Speculation is rife at the moment as to whether Giggs, Scholes and Ferdinand will be pulling on the United shirt next season but any questions are answered calmly and with diplomacy because it's a situation that they are used to and they understand with older players it is normal to wait longer to sign new contracts to see how the season goes. This ensures the club is happy with the individual's performances, their fitness and that the player is happy with their number of appearances and role within the squad.
Arsenal have also been faced with the conundrum of managing older players and Arsene Wenger adopts a similar one-year rolling contract approach that they stick to, even up to the point where it cost them the services of William Gallas in 2010, who left to join north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
In fact it isn't even a new position for Chelsea to be in. This time last year it was the same with Didier Drogba, and again that ran on for six months, was trawled through the press day after day while they failed to pin down the man who starred in the Champions League success.
The bottom line is that this is the latest in an ever-growing list of poorly handled situations by the reigning European champions. After standing by a club captain accused of racism and failing to impose any kind of sanctions upon him, after failing to punish Ashley Cole for shooting an air rifle at the club's training ground, and after dismissing a manger who rescued them from a disastrous season, leading them to Champions League and FA Cup glory, Chelsea's reputation off the pitch has taken a hammering in recent times.
Abramovich has always been determined to bring glory to Chelsea, with a view to making them one of the biggest clubs in the world. However, the reality is that you can win as many trophies as you want, but to be considered a big club, a great club even, then you need a few things money simply can't buy; dignity, respect and class. Sadly, Chelsea seem to be lacking all three.

...and "default" on their "debts," the bankers would be powerless. Correa has a good slogan: "Life before debt." Here's the story:
" GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Dec 12 (Reuters) - President Rafael Correa declared a default on Ecuador's foreign sovereign bonds on Friday, vowing to fight "monster" debt-holders in court in one of most aggressive moves against investors in the region for years.
Ecuador's dollar-denominated debt prices plunged on news of its second default in a decade and the first in Latin America since Argentina in 2002, although the decision was not expected to lead to similar moves around the region.
Correa, a U.S.-trained economist and ally of Venezuela's anti-U.S. President Hugo Chavez, refused to make a $31 million interest payment due on Monday on 2012 global bonds, saying the debt was contracted illegally by a previous administration.
"I gave the order not to pay the interest and to go into default," Correa said. "We know very well who we are up against -- real monsters.""
Correa is right--these "creditors" are monsters. Interest is nothing short of robbery, especially when it's supposed to be paid on fake money, which is what this "debt" is.

NEW YORK (AP) — Greek poet Homer's 8th-century B.C. epic, "The Iliad," told the story of the mythical 10-year Trojan War, featuring two warrior heroes, the wrathful Greek, Achilles and noble Hector, the peace-loving Trojan prince.
In a mesmerizing play, "An Iliad," adapted from the translation by Robert Fagles, writers Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare have condensed the 24-book poem into 100 intelligent, emotional minutes. The powerful off-Broadway production at New York Theatre Workshop creates a fascinating picture of the general pointlessness of war down through the centuries.
A lone Poet, evidently Homer himself (played in repertory by O'Hare or Stephen Spinella,) travels through time, wearily sharing his often-anguished memories of that war-mongering, vengeful time nearly three millennia ago.
The playwrights' conclusion: not much has changed. The Poet drops in regular analogies to current times and recent wars, yet always returns to his powerful, ancient story of hubris and violence. The dialogue alternates between personal storytelling, as if the Poet had been there himself, and recitations from Homer's work.
There are many moments of humor as well as grief. Poking a bit of fun at the interference and fickleness of the gods throughout the siege of Troy, the Poet suggests that that those gods never died, that they burrowed inside us and became our impulses. "Lust? Aphrodite. Mischief? Hermes. A good idea? Athena..."
Spinella gives a relaxed, mischievous yet subtly mournful air to his portrayal of the emotionally spent Poet, who's been singing his song for so long that he's forgotten parts of it. O'Hare's interpretation combines moments of playfulness and despair with measured, stylized Greek oratory. Both men give intense, potent performances that deeply resonated with two preview audiences.
Much of the story focuses on the wastefulness of war, beginning with "hundreds of thousands of Greek men" bogged down in the Trojan War. The storyteller says resignedly, "Greeks win one day, Trojans win the next, like a game of tug-of-war, and nothing to show for it but exhaustion, poverty, and loneliness." Both sides are fed up with the war and the cost, but neither is willing to compromise and end it.
There are specific tales, like the gory, prolonged death of Hector at the hands of remorseless Achilles. Recalling the brutal desecration of Hector's body, the Poet says despairingly, "if you'd seen it, the — the waste... Just like..." and then launches into a long, remarkable recitation of the names of more than 100 major battles that have occurred across the globe since the Trojan War. In the end, he's rattling off just the names of modern-day countries still endlessly embroiled in conflict — Darfur, Congo, Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan — ending up-to-the-minute with Syria.
And why? As the Poet says about the original conflict, "The point is, Helen's been stolen, and the Greeks have to get her back. Huhhh. It's always something, isn't it? " Adding to the eerily timeless atmosphere, the Poet is aided by musical Muses, with onstage Bassist Brian Ellingsen and discordant sound design by Mark Bennett.
Homer wrote an epic myth, but Peterson and O'Hare skillfully relate his ideas and themes to all actual military conflict through recorded time, showing us that we're part of a never-ending cycle of violence. This wrenching theatrical experience is performing only through March 25.

A study concerning viral kinetic with 10 co-infected HIV-HCV patients on treatment with peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin o IFN + ribavirin was reported in Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections 2002 by Dr. Torriani shown half-life of HCV virions and the viral clearance was larger than mono-infected patients.
The doubt is if this difference in viral kinetic of HIV-HCV co-infected patients versus mono-infected is related with the loss of profited on treatment.
In the APRICOT trial patients genotype 2/3 were treated for 48 weeks and the relapse rates was only 2%.
The present study want to evaluate is the treatment extent for 24 weeks more in patients genotype 1 and/or 4 will be improve the percentage of patients with viral clearance at the end of the follow-up period, to prevent relapsed in patients with response at the end of treatment.
Patients will be randomized to received 180 µg/week of peginterferon alfa-2a + 1000-1200 mg/day of ribavirin during 24 weeks more or control.

BEIJING, CHINA--(Marketwired - Jan 16, 2014) - Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTC Pink: MDCE), a healthcare company providing family healthcare services in China, has released the following announcement by its newly appointed Chief Executive Officer and President, James Lau:
Dear Shareholders:
As the newly appointed CEO and President of Medical Care Technologies Inc., I thought it was a good time to address shareholders and outline where the Company is headed in the coming months.
Since embarking on its healthcare plan initiatives in China in 2011, MDCE has focused its efforts on three strategies: provide IT solutions to the healthcare industry in China, construct and operate specialized children's healthcare clinics and, distribute a diverse range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical product lines. MDCE's declining share price over the past few years have made it difficult to obtain the necessary capital to further develop and contribute its JV share of capital towards the construction of children's healthcare clinics in Dongguan and Shenzhen.
As MDCE's share price had declined considerably to below a penny per share, the trading liquidity had essentially ceased. This prevented MDCE from being able to tap into its equity valuation and, thus, any prospects of MDCE coming up with the necessary capital for its proportionate JV share in completing the clinics were dwindled by the lack of access to sufficient capital. Furthermore, MDCE's loan from its JV partner, Ocean Wise, matured on December 12, 2012 and all principal and accrued interest became immediately due and payable at that time. MDCE defaulted and, consequently, MDCE transferred 40% of its 65% ownership interest in the JV to Ocean Wise. Since then, Ocean Wise has embarked solely on the continued funding and operation of the projects. We will provide project developmental updates in the coming weeks.
In order to improve trading liquidity and the capital structure, MDCE effected a 2000:1 reverse split of its common stock in August 2013.
Now that we have completed the necessary restructuring work, new funding options have now opened which MDCE is considering to fund future operations, details of which will be forthcoming. Once a suitable funding is completed, the Company will address specific options in furthering completion of healthcare clinic initiatives into new markets. These developments have been designed to enhance the value of the Company and, accordingly, both current and future stockholder prospects and will be announced in the coming weeks.
Next Steps and Operational Focus
Our primary goals for the next 9 months are focused on 5 key strategies:
1. Building on our leading-edge medical software technologies and our comprehensive, integrated healthcare medicine know-how.
2. Commercializing these technologies and intellectual properties by creating a franchise network of family focused integrated healthcare clinics.
3. Consolidate and refine these medical technologies and systematically create procedures and systems for the management of the integrated healthcare clinics.
4. Continue to penetrate the developing Asian healthcare markets where our innovative approach to integrated healthcare delivery is a huge untapped market opportunity.
5. With a well-designed and well supported franchise network, MDCE believes it can be successful in helping to deliver sustainable better healthcare to communities while returning good investment profits to direct investors.
"In closing, we appreciate the continued strong interest from our shareholders as Medical Care Technologies Inc. undergoes a revival to build upon the foundation and early phases of development laid out by previous management. While today will not satisfy all the questions that remain, we believe this most recent set of announcements provide a level of clarity to some of your questions. There are many challenges that lie ahead and also huge opportunities await us in our target markets. We are confident that we are taking the right steps forward," James Lau concluded.

Our industry is making significant progress in understanding what works and what does not when merging technology with fitness. However, when it comes to designing new fitness products and product platforms, the industry has overcomplicated the process. Nowhere is this more evident than in technology. Fitness is not that complicated.
To make money with technology — or any programming for that matter — we must attack behavioral change. When it comes to this type of change, we should look at three pillars: inspiration, motivation and adherence, and education and outcomes.
Individuals become inspired to join a club or start an exercise program for many reasons — upcoming events, medical concerns, life changes and other goals. Inspiration is the spark that lights the flame to get someone to want to make a change. However, inspiration does not make the change.
Motivation and adherence represent the two most critical pieces to success and longevity in sticking with an exercise program. Our job in this industry is to creatively motivate people to start and stay with an exercise program. The benefits are many: success for members, renewals, referrals and the creation of a great brand in your market.
Motivation and adherence make up the trickiest of the three pillars, and technology can be a lever in helping sustain behaviors if it is simple, seamless and easy. We are a society of consumers whose demands include instant, usable information. The more clicks, steps, forms and reading that individuals must perform to participate in exercise, the less likely they are to stay motivated. Unfortunately, no technology platform has completely figured this out.
Education and outcomes are natural consequences of the rewards of inspiration, combined with motivation and adherence. Education by itself doesn't change anyone without motivation and adherence.
As the medical space continues to merge with fitness, outcomes will become more important. Corporations and health care providers know that exercise is the key to lower costs, happier employees and increased productivity. With this knowledge, these entities will purchase fitness technology, but only if quantitative outcomes are measured. The right technology will do this.
Health clubs don't make people fit. Fitness equipment doesn't make people fit. Classes and trainers don't make people fit. And technology will not make people fit either. All of these things are accelerators or facilitators. They make a significant difference but only if they tie into inspiration, motivation, adherence and education.
If you are looking at developing or purchasing any technology that affects the fitness of your members, make sure that it supports the three pillars. If not, it is simply another capital cost, and you will not see any long-term return on investment.
Consumers are adept at using technology inside and outside of your club. They are also impatient, time starved and accustomed to technology that allows them to do everything quickly and easily. This means they do not want to enter information into a kiosk, exercise and then enter more information into the kiosk. Extra steps dramatically decrease motivation and adherence. Successful technologies seamlessly integrate with the technology members use outside of the club, such as PDAs, home computers and personal entertainment devices.
Clubs that are creating or integrating new technology products or elements will be more successful if they ensure that the products address these three pillars.

The first poet I ever read extensively
When I was growing up, we lived over 30 miles from town. I didn't go to the library nearly as often as I wished, so I read every book in the house that was interesting at all. I didn't read the entire set of encyclopedias, but I did look at the pictures and read their captions.
Some of the books in our house were odd ones for a child to read. For example, my mother had two volumes of poetry by James Whitcomb Riley: Green Fields and Running Brooks and Afterwhiles. I read some of the poems in those books many times.
James Whitcomb Riley, 1913
One of my favorites was "The Raggedy Man" which reminded me a little of Grandma's cousin, Pete, who came to work for us every summer. Another one I liked was "Farmer Whipple. -- Bachelor," because romances and weddings were some of my favorite things.
"How John Quit the Farm" and "Uncle Jake's Place, St. Jo, Mo., 1874" were prodigal son stories with happy endings. (If you want to read these, you can find them in the full books, linked above.)
Another of my favorites was "Little Orphant Annie." That poem was in one of our reading textbooks at school, with an illustration of children sitting around a fireplace. I remembered the picture everytime I read the poem at home. Also, I thought of Little Orphant Annie having wild red hair and strange eyes, like Little Orphan Annie in the newspaper comics.
I have the copy of Green Fields and Running Brooks that I read as a child. I don't know what ever became of its companion volume, Afterwhiles. However, I can read its poems online whenever I have the urge. The internet, the wonderful internet, makes that possible.

text: Hi Everyone, A little background on my problem: We have a webserver running with centOS 4.7 and apache 2.2. It runs several virtual hosts, and was set up by a former colleague. Apache is installed in a mounted drive called /wwwroot This webserver has now fallen under my control, and although I have some knowledge of linux systems, I'm still quite a newbie. The server has been running happily for months, but now the need has come up for me to add a new website to the server. Now the problem: I made a change to the httpd.conf file adding a new virtual host, a duplicate of the 6 other servers in the file (obviously changing the paths and servername), saved the file and restarted the httpd service. But the httpd service didn't restart, it fails claiming it can't find the httpd.conf file in the default location (/etc/httpd/), which is right, because the file isn't there and looks like it never has been, and I wouldn't expect it to be as Apache is installed in /wwwroot. Hence my question, why is it suddenly looking there for the file? In the last week of messing about I've even come to realise that the conf file I changed may well not have even been the live file (he seems to have at least a dozen different versions of the file scattered over /wwwroot and /root folders). But either way I didn't change any paths to config files so I don't understand why it is now looking for files that have never been there. I just tried running httpd -f /wwwroot/apache/conf/httpd.conf to force it to use that file and I get: Syntax error on line 54 of /wwwroot/apache/conf/httpd.conf: API module structure `authn_file_module' in file /wwwroot/apache/modules/mod_authn_file.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO? I tried running the make install (using the same config I presume he used) again, but still same problem. Any ideas how to make this work now? I know it's difficult without knowing the exact setup, but any help would be appreciated. I've enjoyed tinkering with it, but I'm pulliing my hair out and people are now nagging for some of these web services to be back online, so could do with sorting asap. Thanks

Video from polar bear neck camera shows life on ice
Dan Joling, The Associated Press
Published Friday, June 6, 2014 9:07PM EDT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The first video of life on Arctic sea ice from a polar bear point of view has been released by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The agency on Friday released a clip recorded by a camera attached to the collar of a female polar bear without cubs in the Beaufort Sea north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The necks of polar bear males are wider than their heads and collars slide off.
The clip shows the bear pursuing a seal under water, dunking a frozen seal into seawater and interacting with a male who might be a suitor.
The cameras are part of a study to find out how polar bears, listed as a threatened species, are responding to sea ice loss from global warming. Scientists in the Beaufort are generally limited to about six weeks of field work each spring, between the time it's light enough to work and before ice begins to break up.
"It's all information that we wouldn't be able to get otherwise," said Todd Atwood, research leader for the USGS Polar Bear Research Program, from his office in Anchorage.
The collars were attached in April and collected eight to 10 days later as a test run of how they eventually will be deployed for longer periods. Cameras were attached to two bears in 2013, but the batteries could not handle Arctic temperatures, Atwood said.
Redesigned collars were attached to four females that already were going to be captured for blood samples on a study of behaviour and energy expenditure led by USGS research biologist Anthony Pagano. The bears already carry collars with GPS recording data and accelerometers, an activity sensor that records whether a bear is resting, walking, swimming or hunting.
Scientists previously have matched accelerometer signatures with observations in zoo bears. Linking them with video clips of wild bears helps confirm the accuracy of the devices.
It's all part of an attempt to help scientists determine how polar bears are exerting energy as their habitats change, Pagano said.
With the summer thaw, bears either stay on shore or on sea ice. In recent years, the edge of the ice has melted hundreds of miles from shore, leaving ice far from the shallow outer continental shelf waters where seals and walrus live. Scientists want to find out, for example if a bear far from shore on sea ice is resting more to save energy because it can no longer hunt.
Atwood said the 38 to 40 hours of video from the neck cameras have yielded surprises -- such as the female bear and a male tussling with a seal carcass in what might be courting behaviour.
"The fact that they appear to be playing around with their food, we're not sure what that means," he said.
Other footage shows a bear pursuing a seal underwater. Polar bear hunting behaviour generally is thought to consist largely of waiting beside a breathing hole or collapsing lairs of ringed seals.
The female at one point drops a frozen seal carcass in seawater and scientists speculate she's trying to thaw it out, Atwood said.
The USGS is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Polar Bear Recovery Team that will draft a Polar Bear Conservation Management Plan to meet requirements of the Endangered Species Act. The law requires the plan to guide activities for polar bear conservation.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Unlike Old Mother Hubbard who felt pity and guilt when she went to her bare cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone, I have no sympathy for my devil dogs if the cabinet is empty. I live with a couple of canine crooks- two Bonnies, minus the Clyde. Ms. Needlenose uses her snozz as a crowbar; her teeth like forceps. Her tiny accomplice shares gleefully in the heist.
"Who wants a bone?" After an evening walk, the Afghan and her Toy Spaniel sidekick race up the stoop to share a thin chew stick 80/ 20- strict portion control. This sufficed until the Afghan began to help herself to seconds, and thirds. Sighthounds, notorious thieves, have an advantage with their pointy "beaks". She can pry the closet open, push cereal boxes around until she sniffs the loot- a week's supply of chewies, plus a bag of biscuits to wash them down. She's so brazen that she'll attempt a break-in right before your eyes.
When left alone, the Afghan's scheme works because the cabinet recloses. No tell tale evidence in the kitchen. The girls greet us and get away in the yard- their trail of guilt, yet to be to be discovered. Plastic plunder in the living room gives them away. A nanny camera would reveal a ruckus. It took a few crime scenes before improving homeland security. Slow to catch on, I finally moved the treats to higher ground and pup-proofed the cabinet with a rubber band.
Canine criminals are motivated by several factors. Afghans, especially females, steal for sport, enjoying the stealth and the chase. Salukis are adept at opening refrigerators. After all there aren't many gazelles, their natural quarry, to hunt around here. The athletic hounds know they can zigzag and outrun the cops. Juliet, my first Afghan trickster, used to sneak up when I was planting tulip bulbs, unearth them, and toss them around the yard like a juggler. She would also race up to unsuspecting guests, and grab a hot dog out of a bun or a cigarette from a pack without missing a step. The Surgeon General loved her. Laundry wasn't safe on the line. Halloween ghosts hung for mere moments from a now defunct dogwood. The ghosts were twice dead in Juliet's jaws.
Some dogs steal because they love food. I knew of a hungry Dobie who would go into the pantry and fetch himself a can of Alpo. Then he'd use his teeth as a can opener, alas, unsuccessfully. Alan, my more reserved Af, was a connoisseur of good taste. He chose his bounty fastidiously. Once he devoured six bags of peanut M&Ms that he pick-pocketed from my school bag, and, years later, self-served a tangy Greek salad, olives and all.
My Cavalier mix has a pushed in mug but that doesn't keep her from being a cat food vacuum cleaner. This silly Spaniel prefers feline feasts, dry or canned, even over steak. Cats are usually easy to free feed but not my poor cat. There are no safe havens. We have to stand guard over each of his micro-meals since Charlotte waits to hooverize his u n a t t e n d e d dish. She distracts me everyday; yet, I attribute her obsession to post traumatic stress. As one of 43 abandoned pets in a collector's home, she had to scrounge to survive. Charlotte, with no resemblance to Scarlet, vows: "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again!"
Finally certain thefts are dogs' symbolic attempts at communicating with us, the dense humans. Cami was an adorable Schnoodle puppy, my friend (and former co-columnist) rescued from Babylon Shelter in the early '80s, long before anyone forked over a king's ransom to purchase such a faux breed. She survived distemper, all too common everywhere back then. One day shortly after recuperating, Cami burst through the dog door, waving my friend's bra. She was mortified. How could the ungrateful pup embarrass her so? The next day Cami went into heat. In retrospect, it dawned on us that the now healthy Cami was announcing her puberty to the world. Epilogue: 'Twas a short-lived celebration; Cami was spayed ASAP.
A pair of good looking pups is posing at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Oyster Bay this week. "Pumpkin" #1001 is a purebred Boxer, one of 2 females that were found together as strays. "Sebastian" #771 is a mature Shepherd/ Collie who is well-mannered. He would settle nicely in a new forever home. See more photos on the Petfinder website.

From Openmoko
lint-wifi is a relatively simplistic application written in PyGTK for the Neo FreeRunner. It aims to create a GUI-based method for associating with wireless networks, and provide various bits of connection-related information and control. It is designed to work without a stylus, except when entering passwords (which are normally stored). It is at the moment intended to do nothing unless a button is pushed.
It will be released soon.
Beta Testing
lint-wifi now has a project page[1] (or [2]). Those who wish to beta test, please go to there and look at [svn]. Please submit all bug reports to the trac there.
svn help
There's also an unofficial [git repo].
i made a new pkg last i checked you need some things in the scaredycat repo like pygtk http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Repositories
also added a few easter egg addons like wifiweasel ;) accelxranr.py, gta02.py and tree
lint-wifi requires /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to be present. This works for me (tm)
<code> update_config=1 ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ap_scan=1 </code>
The first line is probably not necessary. It would allow lint-wifi to save its configuration back to wpa_supplicant.conf, which I believe it doesn't do ATM. I needed the third one to get scanning to work.
compiling wpa_lint
lint-wifi is a python script, you can just copy lint-wifi.py to your phone and make it executable. It relies on wpa_lint however wich is written in C, so you need to compile it.
On Debian/Ubuntu grab openmoko-toolchain_0.20080521-ubuntu6_i386.deb (see [3]). Edit the Makefile for wpa_lint, at the top comment out the line starting with gcc= and add the line gcc = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc
Now just do make and copy the resulting wpa_lint to your phone. Don't forget to make it executable. It has to go in /home/root (hardcoded in lint-wifi).
There are several requirements needed to run lint-wifi:
- PyGTK
- A valid wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Known bug
If launching 'lint-wifi.py' fails with NameError: name 'init' is not defined, then edit the file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, go to line 82 and add an underscore in front of the "init()" so that it reads "_init()". Reference [4].
lint-wifi is broken into pages, each page offering various bits of information or control. Below are the pages, as they exist at version .1A
AP List
AP List will show APs that can currently be seen. They will initially be ordered by how wpa_supplicant feels are best. Columns include:
- essid
- Enc -- Consisting of "WPA", "WEP" and "off"
- Signal
- Chan
- S -- indicating State or Status:
- C: Connected
- K: Known/configured (eg, password is stored) and enabled
- D: Known/configured and disabled
- -: Unknown
- Mode -- At present is unused, will indicate Managed/Infrastructure vs Ad-Hoc
- Scan
- Edit -- Edits the settings of APs configured or visible
- Exit
The Status page will primarily indicate the configured status of eth0.
The Renew DHCP button can be used to nudge udhcpc into renewing. An "Enable All APs" button enables all that APs set to disabled.
The Conn page shows information related to the associated AP.
Config is at present empty, but will contain various lint-wifi configuration options, such as support for hiding certain columns in the AP List.

Woodland Pond at New Paltz, the only continuing care retirement community in the Mid-Hudson Valley area, is teaming up with the Rambling Rose Boutique to host a fashion show to raise funds for the Woodland Pond Interfaith Meditation Room. This project was initiated by Woodland Pond residents through their Interfaith Committee. The fashion show, which will feature 15 models comprised of Woodland Pond staff and residents, students and the residents' grandchildren, will be held on Friday, April 25, from 7 – 8 PM and is open to the public. Rambling Rose will debut it's spring and summer collection of clothing and accessories at the event. Admission is $20 per person and complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. There will also be 50/50 raffle tickets available for purchase. All proceeds will benefit the project. Seating is limited, please RSVP by calling 845-256-5900.
"The Woodland Pond Interfaith Meditation Room will be a room for individual or shared prayer, meditation, and contemplation for all residents of Woodland Pond, their families, friends and clergy," said Lyn Mayo, a Woodland Pond resident and chair of the Interfaith Committee. "The Interfaith Committee initiated the project and sought to utilize space that is currently not serving a purpose. Woodland Pond has been buzzing about the fashion show and the outside community is getting excited too. This will be a lighthearted and entertaining fundraiser for all."
Once built, the Woodland Pond Interfaith Meditation Room will be decorated with serene nature scenes and will be furnished with simple furniture. In addition to being a place for meditation and worship, the Interfaith Committee also encourages people to use the space to honor a loved one or friend, or memorialize any special occasion – birthday, anniversary, or milestone.
"It will be a space for all walks of faith to utilize for quiet contemplation and prayer," said Sarah Hull, resident services director for Woodland Pond. "We have many faiths at Woodland Pond and this will be a place that all residents' family members and guests can use. I am very excited about the outside community, residents and employees coming together for a fun event that has a great purpose. The residents are thrilled that Rambling Rose is donating its time and gorgeous clothing for the event."
The Woodland Pond Interfaith Committee recognizes all faiths and plans monthly services for various religious observances. This month the committee is planning a Seder for Passover and a service for the Easter celebration on Good Friday. The committee invites clergy from outside of Woodland Pond, as well as residents who are retired clergy, to lead the services. The Interfaith Committee was designed with the purpose of recognizing different faiths and fulfilling the spiritual needs of seniors.

Scorpius Nova
Scorpius, the scorpion, skitters low across the southwest this evening. Its brightest stars form a pattern that really does look like a scorpion, with the bright orange star Antares right in the middle.
A few years back, astronomers made an astonishing discovery in Scorpius. For the first time ever, they saw two stars merge to form a single star.
In 2008, astronomers saw a strange explosion in Scorpius that was about 10,000 light-years from Earth. The explosion was a nova. Most novae are blue, but this one was red. Not only do red novae differ in color from normal novae, but they're also much brighter. Their cause had been a mystery.
By good luck, though, the nova in Scorpius happened to lie in a part of the sky that Polish astronomers were monitoring for planets and dark matter. As a result, the astronomers had observed the brightness of the object more than 1300 times before it became a nova.
The observations revealed that the star was a contact binary -- two stars that orbited each other so closely that they actually touched. Over time, the stars moved closer together, orbiting each other faster and faster. Then, in 2008, the stars merged, creating an explosion -- a red nova. It didn't destroy the stars, though -- it left behind a single star as a remnant.
Never before had astronomers seen such a remarkable metamorphosis. The discovery means that many red novae -- and perhaps all of them -- are born from the mergers of double stars.

Emma Watson & Will Adamowicz: Taxi Ride For Two
Emma Watson and Will Adamowicz hold on to some bags after catching a taxi in New York City on Saturday afternoon (September 15).
The 22-year-old actress, who is in town to promote her new film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is also filming Noah opposite Logan Lerman.
"I know what it meant to her, to have that kind of acceptance for another role other than her beloved part. It meant the world," Stephen Chbosky, director and author of Perks told CTV of Emma and the role of Sam.
He added, "I know for her it's just a great letting go and being seen and accepted for something else — and it's only the beginning. She's going to do so many great parts we're going to lose count."

Northwest Catholic girls' indoor track coach Patrick Williamson has wanted to paraphrase one of UConn coach Geno Auriemma's most famous quotes for a long time.
But out of fear of embarrassment or how it might be perceived, he's kept his mouth shut.
That didn't happen Thursday.
After a brief sigh and a moment of hesitation, Williamson uttered the phrase he's been saving up.
"We've got Sarah [Gillespie] and they don't," Williamson said.
Williamson's got that right. Nobody else has Gillespie, one of Connecticut's best female middle distance runners ever. And with just two seasons left for her, she returns more motivated then ever, according to her coach.
"She is hungry," Williams said. "She is walking into the season like she has to prove it all again."
For Gillespie's current set of competitors, none of whom have never beaten her, that's not a good sign.
Last season, Gillespie proved plenty. As a junior, she broke state records in the 800 meters (2:11.16) and the 1,000 meters (2:51.31) at New Balance Indoor Nationals the New England Championship respectively. She also beat the State Open record of Killingly's Meghan Owens in the 1,000 meters with a time of 2:53.01, a record many thought would never be broken.
But this season, Gillespie, who still hasn't decided on where she will run next year, isn't doing anything just for herself. She will go after records but she returns more focused and prepared than ever because she wants to help her team go further than it's been before. Gillespie ran 50-mile weeks and honed her pre-race routine over the summer.
"She's so focused on helping this team," Williamson said. "She wants to make history in the course of helping this team win."
Bloomfield Goes For Four Straight
Bloomfield surprised nearly everyone at the State Open last June when it came from nowhere to win the outdoor track and field title over Hillhouse, with just seven athletes.
But this winter it's back to business as usual — winning indoor titles.
The State Open outdoor track title may be a rarity for Bloomfield — it was the program's first since 1995 and fourth overall — but indoor track titles are a different story. Bloomfield has won three straight Class S championships and 10 overall.
And this year, the War Hawks are once again the favorite in Class S.
Anchored by Adrian Jones, Vanessa Whittingham, Alleah Red and Natori Jones, Bloomfield should be a favorite. in the class.
Jones is coming off titles in the long and high jump in outdoor track and field and Adrian Jones and Red are as talented a pair in the sprints (55 meters and 300) as anyone.
Glastonbury Reloads Again
In the past two years, Glastonbury has said goodbye to three of the program's best athletes.
Lindsay Crevoiserat graduated in 2011 and Reid Watson and McKenzie Hollenbaugh graduated this past spring.
Combined, the trio brought not just individual state titles to the school but had a big hand in delivering team championships to the Tomahakws.
But that hasn't changed the outlook for the two-time defending Class LL champions. The Tomahawks can still get the job done.
It's just that this time it will be a new group doing the work.
Without Watson and Hollenbaugh, Glastonbury will look to seniors Eleanor Freeland, Briona Wallace and Rachel Peterson to make sure it stays among the contenders in the Class LL championship.
Freeland was third in the high jump at the Class LL championship at five feet-two inches and Peterson was fifth in the shot put with a throw of 34-71/4. Wallace ran 7.60 to finish sixth in the 55 meters.
Windsor is also set to represent the CCC North proudly. Anchored by shot putter Samantha Blake, who has improved by five feet during the season, Windsor should once again figure into the Class L championship picture.
Expectations High for Trojans
Maddie Nicholson won a State Open title in the discus during the outdoor track season.
This winter, she'll try to add shot put champion to her resume.
After finishing seventh at the State Open and fourth at the Class L championship last year, Nicholson returns this season as one of the top threats in the event. But she shouldn't be the only Trojan making noise. Juniors Sarah Mattison and Carolyn Smith will also help Simsbury keep pace in the distance events and junior Jada Jenkins is set for a strong season in sprints.

text: It was hard to hide from this week; the absolute outrage over bonuses paid out to employees of AIG. I'm not going to go there in this blog because there are legitimate arguments on both sides of this debate, but what is truly outrageous is Congress' reaction. No, not the grand-standing in hearings or the emotion-filled, populist pandering sound bites. I'm talking about the bills to tax the living daylights out of bonuses not returned. Is this in fact constitutional? Isn't the IRS supposed to be a revenue generating entity we all pitch in to pay for the business of operating as a country. That's what Lincoln used it for... to pay off the debts of the Civil War. But somehow this Congress would like to turn it into a punitive agency. (Did you see Vladmir Putin walking down the halls of Congress? It really feels like he's there.) If Congress has it's way it will use the IRS to hunt down Americans whose behaviour it deems distasteful. After all, they did nothing illegal because Congress gave these employees the okay to take the money in the first place! Can someone tell me where's the sanity in Washington?

NATM Launches Green Manufacturing Award
March 29, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on NATM Launches Green Manufacturing Award
The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) has launched the Green Manufacturing Award.
The award will recognize the best innovation or novel solutions by a manufacturer in the trailer industry to positively impact the environment, according to a news release. This could be defined in many areas including material utilization, design advancement, process or equipment improvements, reduction in emissions, recyclable, etc.
NATM generally focuses on the commercial, cargo and equestrian trailer business as well as some RV manufacturers.
The NATM has partnered with PPG Industries Inc., which has pledged to be a founding sponsor. Their initial financial support reflects PPG's commitment to improving the environment. Other sponsors are welcome to join the effort. The trailer manufacturing industry has many opportunities to support "Green" initiatives and in our current political environment, there are many opportunities for government support as well as tax incentives.
NATM formally announced its Green Manufacturing Award during the 2010 Annual Convention and Trade Show in Reno, Nev., in March. The application for the Green Manufacturing Award is available on the NATM website. The first award will be presented at the 2011 NATM Annual Convention & Trade Show to recognize "Green" improvements during the 2010 calendar year.
Criteria for the award include being an NATM trailer manufacturing member in good standing and providing verifiable documentation of a "Green" initiative or improvement at their manufacturing plant. NATM trailer manufacturing companies will be judged on case studies where the companies have been able to demonstrate improved performance in environmental manufacturing. This may include maximizing energy efficiency levels, compliance with environmental regulations and minimizing waste from the production process. Manufacturers should be able to illustrate success in reducing their environmental impact, as well as converting green manufacturing into a business opportunity.
NATM was founded in 1987 and represents manufacturers that produce light‐ and medium‐duty trailers. NATM members also include suppliers to the industry. Organized to promote, both to the trailer industry and to the public, universal recognition of safety and quality in trailer manufacturing, NATM works to improve the trailer industry through the promotion of compliance with its Guidelines and other initiatives such as The Green Manufacturing Award. The association currently has more than 800 member companies across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and other foreign countries.

London PlanetreePlatanus x acerifolia
The London planetree is a widely planted street tree, and for good reason. Its attributes were discovered in London where the new hybrid first appeared around 1645. The tree was found to thrive in the sooty air and provide wonderful shade. Its ability to withstand air pollution, drought and other adversities assures its popularity as an urban tree. Strong limbs also help make the London planetree a good choice where site conditions allow for its large size.
Beyond its reputation as a survivor, this tree is simply worth admiring. The unique bark and interesting branching give it amazing visual appeal—whether summer or winter.

Scout groups paraded through Derbyshire towns in a large-scale display of patriotic pride.
The St George's Day parade is one of the most important events in the Scouting calendar.
Parades to honour the patron saint have been held today (Sunday, April 27) in Chesterfield, Matlock and Belper.
Hundreds of young people marched through Chesterfield town centre in glorious sunshine this afternoon, their standards fluttering in the breeze.
Proud families gathered at the town hall where the Mayor of Chesterfield, Cllr Paul Stone was among dignitaries who saw the parade set off for the Crooked Spire Church where a service took place.
Scout groups from Chesterfield, Highfield (St Andrews), Whittington, Brampton, Hasland, Wingerworth, Holymoorside and Tupton were among those taking part, accompanied by musicians from Shirebrook Miners Welfare Unison Brass Band.
On the Derbyshire Times Facebook site, Sara Fox said: "My daughter will be parading with her Scout group for an amazing seventh time. Not bad to say she's 12.
And Natalie Gilsenan commented: "I will be there. My boy's marching with his Beaver group."

The original Collectors Edition pets and Murky and Mini Tyrael are considered to be the rarest of the rare. These pets typically go for thousands of dollars on the secondary market and they are highly sought after by collectors. This makes these five pets the obvious targets of scams and other trading methods that are against the Blizzard ToS.
Therefore, we're no longer permitting posts that attempt to trade these pets.
These new guidelines are being introduced to help protect traders from scammers and prevent the overflow of such threads on our forums. After much discussion and community feedback, we decided to only block the trading of these five pets.
To be clear, the pets we no longer condone being traded in our forums are:
- Murky
- Mini Tyrael
- Original CE Pets: Panda Cub, Mini Diablo, Zergling
There's nothing wrong with wanting these pets, but the best place to look for them is on Ebay or WoWTCGLoot.com.
These new guidelines won't be initiated against previous posts, but any future posts seeking to trade or obtain these pets will be subject to closure and/or deletion. Older posts that are edited to try to circumvent these guidelines will also be subject to deletion.

- Diablo CE Pets: Fetish Shaman
- SC CE Pets: Mini Thor, Baneling
- Plushy Loot Code Pets: Gryphon Hatchling, Wind Rider Cub
Our trading forums have proven to be a wonderful resource for connecting players to complete their pet collections. It is our hope that this policy makes them safer and even more useful for collecting all of the other pets you may freely trade.
Def a Happy day
