Headlines in the media about the Haitian earthquake have fallen to a trickle now that the disaster is more than three months in the past. But that doesn't mean it should be forgotten, advocates working on Haitian relief efforts believe.
Several concerns about the lack of involvement of Haitians in recovery efforts as well as the falloff in media coverage of the disaster were aired by representatives of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA and the TransAfrica Forum during an April 28 program at the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington.
The concerns have arisen as plans are being made for housing hundreds of thousands of Haitians left homeless by the Jan. 12 quake as well as for rebuilding the wide swath of the impoverished country that remains decimated, said Nora Rasman, a program associate at TransAfrica Forum.
Among the concerns Rasman cited: planning meetings being carried out by the United States and the United Nations that are conducted in English, with minutes kept in English. Haitians in attendance understand the English-only proceedings, Rasman said, but would better get a grasp on the discussions if they would be translated into Creole, the language of Haitians.
Shaina Aber, associate advocacy director at Jesuit Refugee Service/USA, said her agency works to empower women to have an equal voice in the governance of the seven camps with an estimated 23,000 residents that the agency coordinates.
"We want to ensure that women have a voice in the camps, in security, in government, in planning for the future," she told an audience of more than 100.
The distribution of food and shelter supplies only to people in "official" camps also was mentioned by both women. While there are several hundred camps where aid is distributed, there are thousands more unofficial ones on street corners and in neighborhoods where the most vulnerable –- the elderly, pregnant women and children -– remain and are bypassed by aid workers.
As for the media, Joia Jefferson Nuri, TransAfrica Forum's chief of staff, suggested the Haitian story can pick up steam as long as American political leaders talk about it. She urged the audience to contact legislators to remind them to keep talking about Haiti to anyone and everyone.
Writing and calling media outlets will help, Nuri said, but unless people of more prominence keep the issue before the public, the Haitian earthquake story will fade further into history.

Ten donation and transplant surgical procedures took place at Mercy Medical Center – Des Moines on January 7-9, 2013. This is the largest kidney paired donation chain in the state of Iowa to date. It is unique in that all recipients and donors had their surgeries in the same hospital.
Mercy transplant surgeons Cass Franklin, M.D., FACS and Johan Aerts, D.O. performed the surgeries. Five unrelated living donors provided a kidney for transplantation to four Iowans and a patient from Omaha, Nebraska. A humanitarian donor stepped forward to donate a kidney and from there the Mercy Transplant Center team matched donors who are found not to be compatible with their intended recipient, but a match with another recipient. This matching is usually done through the use of computer software; the Mercy team managed to piece the chain together using only patients' charts. The pairings formed what's called a kidney paired donation chain, allowing for multiple transplants, and hope, for people on organ transplant waiting lists.
The members of the chain ranged in age and background. The donor and recipient pairings remained completely anonymous leading up to and through the procedure. After the procedures were complete, all ten patients (five donors and five recipients) agreed to meet.
"New year; New hope; New life;" said Mercy Transplant Center Medical Director Dr. Cass Franklin, when asked about the procedures. "Five lives saved through one noble endeavor." Fellow transplant surgeon Johan Aerts also sees great promise. "If I look excited it's because it is exciting," said Dr. Aerts. "The anticipation leading up to this moment that took months of work – I couldn't have asked for a smoother course or a more excellent outcome."
In Iowa, 532 people are waiting for a kidney transplant. Kidney paired donation chains could help lower the wait time. Donors who took part in this first-of-its kind event in Iowa urged others to consider organ donation as a way to make a difference and change lives. To learn more about becoming a donor, or to register, simply visit www.iowadonornetwork.org and click on 'Sign up to become a donor.'
Mercy Transplant Center has served Iowans for twenty-five years. Dr. Franklin performed the first kidney transplant on Dec. 1, 1986. The program has received recognition for its quality of care. In Oct. 2012, Mercy received Iowa's only Medal of Honor Award at the Gold Medal level for transplantation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Mercy is one of only 22 hospitals across the country selected to receive this award.

Q: We added a room, but our central air conditioner doesn't cool it well. Our second floor master bedroom also does not stay cool. Does it make sense to install a window air conditioner or a mini-split system? — Kyle F.
A: The cooling problems you are having are not uncommon. This is particularly true for second-floor rooms. The cool air-conditioned air is more dense than warm air, so it tends to drop to the first floor.
Also, second-floor ceilings are exposed to the hot underside of the roof.
For both your new room addition and your second-floor bedroom, installing a mini-split air-conditioning system is more efficient and effective than a window air conditioner. The only drawback is a mini-split system is more expensive to install initially and cannot later be moved to a different room.
I have a two-story house with a central heat pump. I recently installed a LG Art Cool mini-split system for my master bedroom. I selected the smaller output 9,000 Btuh model which has an efficiency of SEER 28 and inverter compressor technology. My central heat pump is SEER 13, so my Art Cool model is twice as efficient. I chose the heat pump version so it can also heat efficiently during the winter.
A window air conditioner has all the components — compressor, air circulation fan, condenser fan, etc. — in the cabinet in the window.
Even though it is insulated against heat flow and sound, it still is not ideal for good efficiency. The newest ones are fairly quiet, but can be annoying in a bedroom at night.
A mini-split system is very similar to a central air conditioner or heat pump with the condenser fan, coils and compressor in an outdoor unit.
Some models allow the outdoor unit to be place up to 100 feet from the room. This virtually eliminates noise from those components getting indoors at night.
Instead of having the indoor cooling coil in a air duct system as with your existing central air conditioner, the coil is mounted in a fan unit on the wall or ceiling of the room. It is connected to the outdoor unit by refrigerant and electric lines. Only a three-inch-diameter hole needs to be cut through the wall. The condensate drain goes out through the same hole.
Mini-split systems can be used to air condition an entire house by installing indoor wall units in several rooms. The cool air will circulate throughout the house. This is commonly done in houses using baseboard electric or hydronic heat which do not already have a heating duct system.
In addition to the high SEER rating, installing a mini-split unit allows for zone cooling. For example, in my case, there is no need to keep the downstairs cool all night when I am sleeping in the bedroom. My mini-split system allows me to set the central thermostat higher at night to save.
The inverter compressor provides for variable cooling output. Once the room cools down to the thermostat setting temperature, the inverter compressor speed slows to keep the room at that temperature. The hand-held remote control has many modes of operation including a dehumidification setting.
Q: I need new siding on one wall of my house. While the old siding is off, I plan to install foam sheathing. Is it important the follow the nailing guide or can I use more nails to make it extra strong? - Keith P.
A: It is best to always follow the manufacturer's nail pattern guide unless it is less than your local building codes. Foam sheathing, although rigid, is not very strong so more nails than necessary does not create a stronger wall.
Actually, more nails can be counterproductive because each nail creates a small thermal bridge from the interior to the exterior. By using excessive nails, the overall insulation value of the wall will be reduced.

In the early years of the American Republic, men and women across the United States began forming social libraries, Bible societies, and dozens of other associations. These groups reflected Enlightenment beliefs about mankind's ability to improve the world and the human condition. In the newly formed United States, citizens were expected to take the lead in ushering in this new era of knowledge and freedom. A number of Deerfield men formed the Literary Adelphi society in 1804 to maintain the intellectual character of the town. In this 1854 meeting, society members debated which was the greater evil: intemperance or slavery. After "animated debate" it was decided that slavery was the greater evil.

Lakers get:
Al Jefferson
Devin Harris
Paul Milsap
Jeremy Evans
Jazz get:
Pau Gasol
Lamar Odom
I got my cap info here:
I like it for the Lakers because it upgrades the PG while also still having a 2nd go to guy. Devin Harris isn't a great shooter, but he can get to the lane. He can also play defense. Paul Milsap is also a good 6th man who can do some of the things Lamar can. Al Jefferson can also play some C.
For Utah, it clears $4 mil in cap right away and it clears about $12 mil in salary after next season if they don't pick up Lamar's option. They do have to pay an extra season for Pau, but it clears more money in a good free agency class. After the trade, Utah would only have $29.5 mil on the books for that class assuming they decline Lamar's option and accept Favors' and Hayward's options. It all comes down to whether they want Al Jefferson as a building block. But, he's more of a PF and they already have Derrick Favors. Devin is a bit older than you would want as a piece to rebuild with.

The type of official translation will depend on the language pair involved and the country in which the translation is going to be used. This is because some countries have governing bodies regulating official translations i.e. a sworn translation system.
If the translation is going to be used in the UK, you will more often than not require a Punjabi certified translation. This is basically signed and stamped by a qualified Punjabi translator as a true and exact translation. The UK does not have any sworn translation system. On the other hand if the document is to be used in another country such as in Spain, where there is indeed a sworn translation system in place (governed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), you will need atraduccion jurada of your document. The same goes for documents to be used in other European countries such as Italy, France, Austria, Germany etc. who all have a sworn translation system in place.
Legal translation from Punjabi can also imply the translation of Punjabi documents containing specialised legal terminology. This does not necessarily mean the translation must be official, just that the translator doing the work must be knowledgeable in law. In fact when it comes to legal translation, it is important that the translator is not only qualified in translation but also specialises in Punjabi legal translation or holds some sort of qualification in law so that they understand completely the meaning of the source text. If the text is very specialised it is best if the translator is also a Punjabi lawyer / solicitor as often only a law graduate will understand the complexities and peculiarities of Punjabi legal documents.
When performing Punjabi legalised translations, it is imperative that our Punjabi translators be provided with a clear and high-quality scan of your document in order to ensure that the translation will be accurate. Furthermore, if there are any marks, stamps or markings of any kind on the reverse of the document, please include a scan of this within your email as well.

WASHINGTON, April 2, 2013 – Defense Department officials are working to standardize a program designed to help service members get care for family members with chronic health issues or special needs who otherwise might face forgoing an assignment or having to cut short a deployment because of an inability to find such care.
The Exceptional Family Member Program supports military families with special medical and educational needs, and the program is now in the process of being standardized across the force to make it easier for such families as they move from one assignment to another, regardless of location or military affiliation.
"Right now, each service has its own program, so by having one policy and one set of procedures, it's going to make it much easier for families," Ed Tyner, DOD's acting deputy director of community support for families with special needs, told American Forces Press Service and the Pentagon Channel.
DOD officials say the goal is to make sure no service member's career is negatively affected by having a family member who requires special care.
The major benefit of standardization is making sure before a military member receives an assignment that special medical or education services are available in that location, Tyner said. Until now, such services have varied by military branch and location, creating additional hurdles for families requiring special medical care, he explained.
The 2010 Defense Authorization Act required the Defense Department to move toward standardization, Tyner said. "It's going to be a multiyear project," he added.
About 120,000 military family members are enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program. More information about it is available on the Military OneSource website.

Collapse of Music DRM Continues; DRM Customers Still Screwed
from the we're-shocked dept
Support for DRM in the recording industry is in freefall. On Tuesday, Napster released a new version of its music store offering 6 million DRM-free tracks. Napster is a relative latecomer to this party, joining Apple, Amazon, and Wal-Mart, all of whom have had at least some DRM-free, major-label music available for about a year. One difference, though, is that Napster is coming out of the chute with support from all four major labels and thousands of smaller labels as well. At this point, any music store that doesn't offer DRM-free tracks is going to look like a real laggard. This story wasn't too surprising given the way things have been going over the last year. But even less surprising is the fact that customers who were foolish enough to purchase DRMed content from previous versions of Napster are stuck with their decision. They don't get to update their content to MP3 format, and while Napster has decided to continue running its "license servers" for now, it's only a matter of time before Napster decides running those servers is more trouble than it's worth and shuts them off, cutting customers off from their music libraries entirely.

Captain's Report
It's a New Bottom, Too
Designer Lou Codega created an all-new boat when he drew the Regulator 28 FS, although he used the company's 26 as an inspiration. During its 21-year life, the 26 FS has become Regulator's most popular boat – more than 1,500 have been built, accounting for about 30% of Regulator's total sales. The 26 FS carries its twin outboards on a bracket; when it was designed almost a generation ago, most boats did – at that time the integrated transom bracket was a newfangled design.
Codega said that a transom bracket "takes full advantage of the sharp bow entry and deep-V hull design." The new boat rides on a classic 24-degree deadrise V-hull, a configuration that produces a soft ride (well, relatively soft, given the speeds the boats achieve) and good tracking. Codega predicted the 28 FS will reach a top speed "in excess of 60 mph [96.6 kph] while offering extraordinary efficiencies." We haven't tested the boat, so can't comment – but 60 mph is pretty fast. Regulator didn't have performance data at press time, either.
Why a Bracket?
Hanging the outboards on a bracket rather than on the transom has advantages, especially at high speeds; that's why many outboard-powered raceboats use them. Moving the engines away from the hull improves the water flow to the propellers, which lets folks looking for ultimate speeds mount the engines a little higher to reduce resistance. It gives the props a little extra leverage to affect trim, and allows them to drag through the water when the boat's wave-jumping, thereby maintaining thrust for more of the time the boat's airborne. (Some outdrive-powered raceboats mount their drives on extension boxes to achieve the same results.)
We don't know if Regulator tinkered with engine height or other factors to squeeze maximum speed from the twin 300 Yamahas – but beside racers nobody is more speed-obsessed on the water than fishermen. They want to get out to the fish as fast as possible to spend as much time as they can with baits in the water. Tournament fishermen are even more crazy about this, and we suspect they are some of Regulator's best customers: The boats are not cheap (MSRP of the 28 FS is $159,995), and appeal to those for whom fishing isn't just a pastime, but an obsession.
Fishing Stuff
The only reason for a boat like the Regulator 28 FS to exist is to fish, so all its vital components are there strictly to get more fish in the boat or alongside so they can be tagged. The sole is flush, so no tripping as you move around chasing a fish. Passage around the console is ample, thanks to the boat's 9'5" beam. All horizontal surfaces, including the forward seats, have molded non-skid. (Yes, there are cushions.) The console has 6'6" of headroom inside, and comes with an electric toilet and 6-gal. holding tank.
What's Missing?
Although Regulator equips the 28 FS pretty well as standard, there are some options almost every buyer will want. Unfortunately, at press time we weren't able to get prices for each one – suffice it to say a well-rigged 28 FS, without electronics, will run you around $170,000, or maybe a bit more.Everyone will want a T-top. The Regulator version includes an electronics box, spreader lights, LED work lights and outrigger bases. You can have the underside gel-coated to match the hull, if you've opted for a custom color (anything but white). A rocket launcher on the top is also extra. Outrigger options are Lee 18-footers or telescoping 16s, both with laydown mounts.
A windlass is optional, either in conjunction with a pulpit or simple bow roller; in either case it includes chain, rope and anchor. You might think a windlass is overkill on a boat like this, but many fishermen anchor in deep water and cast or drift baits; when it's time to get underway, the windlass will be very welcome. And, of course, everyone will want a canvas enclosure to wrap the T-top.
Our Recommendation
Regulator is known for building excellent boats that satisfy the most demanding fisherman. They are also near the top of the price range, and the 28 FS is no exception. You don't have to spend $160,000+ to get a nice 28-foot fishing boat; there are plenty around for tens of thousands less. On the other hand, you don't have to buy a $100,000 European car, either, when a family sedan will get you there just as well. But if you have the money, why not? It's the difference between having something adequate and something really nice.If you can avoid catching big-boat-itis, the 28 FS will be boat enough for many years, so you can amortize the cost down from the stratosphere. If we knew when we were young what we know now, we'd have bought a Rolex watch, Leica camera and Mercedes sedan, and would still be using them long after the final payment was sent. That's how you should think of the Regulator 28 FS, or any top-flight boat. Buy it, use it, enjoy it and keep it – when it's paid for, you'll still have years of use left.(By the way, the 28 makes a great day boat for just taking friends out for a cruise and an on-board picnic.)

And two weeks is an eternity. So I thought it long overdue to churn out some thoughts on events of the last couple of weeks. In no particular order:
- George Galloway. Yes, he was entertaining at the Senate hearing, and I'm sure they've never come across anything like him before in their prosaic environment. But the man is still an odious little turd. Let's not forget, either, that he might have come away looking like the victor, but he ducked some big questions that day. Not to be trusted. (The entire transcript of that hearing can be read here. Quite interesting.)
- Liverpool winning the European Cup. A great match, and anyone who comes back from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan in the final should be allowed to defend their cup next season. But they're definitely not the best team in Europe, whatever it says on paper. Over the course of 38 games last season, they weren't even the best team in Liverpool. Still, give them Man United's place and we'll say no more about it.
- Speaking of which, Malcolm Glazer's protracted take over of Manche$ter United has been highly entertaining theatre and no mistake. Amusing to see these infuriated Man U fans spitting blood about somebody buying "their" club, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it has been a public company since 1991 so has not been "their" club for some time now. The flotation served them well in the 1990s as they became the richest club on the planet – weren't complaining then, were they? So you can't really be surprised when fat corporate scum like Glazer come over from the US with plans to make the company even bigger and richer. OK, he might fail and bankrupt the club if it doesn't work out. But it's not all good news. He might make them even more wealthy and successful than they've been already – look at his track record, not notable for his failures, is he? Now shut up with your whinging. Man Utd aren't a football team, they're a brand name with a football team tacked on the side. Zero sympathy.
- Looks like the French are going to return a resounding "Non" over the European Constitution, which might just derail the whole "European Dream". Good. I've got issues enough with British democracy as it is without passing powers over to an even more undemocratic and distant bureaucracy. Call me old fashioned, but I like my governments small, efficient and transparent. Enormous, anonymous and based in Brussels? Non, non, non. Let's keep the EU for what it was intended: an environment for economic cooperation and a free market. Ironic, seeing as France was a chief architect of the old Common Market, and their biggest objection to the European Constitution is that it will hurt their long-established protectionist economy. Fuck France and fuck a United Europe too. There, that's me out of the Eurosceptic closet.
- Another bullshit ruling today on use of cannabis for pain relief. Bottom line: if smoking a naturally occurring substance acts as an efficient method of relieving excruciating pain without any toxic side effects, then it should be allowed. Moreover, if anybody wants to consume a naturally occurring substance for whatever reason, be it recreational or medicinal, it's nobody else's business. The arguments for its continued illegality are flimsy and the money and time spent enforcing the law could be better applied elsewhere. Full stop.
- The proliferation of teenage mums. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we won't get anywhere until we sterilise the working class.
- That last one was a joke, by the way.
- Bank Holiday Weekends. How I wish we had more of them. Hurray for the three day break, and just look at this weather. See you next Tuesday.

A major research focus is trying to find ways to transplant healthy "beta islet cells" into diabetic patients. While it will likely be years before the procedures become widely used, the progress remains encouraging.
In one 2001 study of 12 patients, four had normal glucose levels, five had impaired glucose tolerance, and three had post-transplant diabetes. Those who still had diabetes, however, required much less intensive treatment. Larger trials followed. In one study, only 10% of 65 patients were able to be off insulin after 5 years.
The procedure involves the following steps:
Researchers have found it very tricky to refine the procedure. Many of the fragile donor cells die during the process. In addition, the patient's body tries to reject the donor cells -- thus, the patient needs drugs to suppress the immune system.
These drugs, while they help prevent the body from rejecting the donor cells, nevertheless keep the cells from working properly (which essentially defeats the purpose of the transplant). The drugs can cause serious side effects and are needed for the rest of the patient's life.
The procedure has to be performed two or more times over a period of 2 - 3 months, requiring multiple pancreas donors in order to achieve complete independence from insulin injections.
Clearly, there are some hurdles to be overcome before cell transplantation is a practical cure for diabetes. Various improvements and ideas are being tested, including the use of cloning techniques and pig islet cells. Fortunately, the results continue to be encouraging, so stay tuned.
Whole-pancreas transplants and double transplants of pancreases and kidneys have a good long-term success rate for some Type 1 patients. There is some evidence that heart disease and diabetic neuropathy improves after pancreas transplantation (although not retinopathy).
Life-long use of immunosuppressive drugs are also needed with whole organ transplants, and these drugs have side effects. Transplants are recommended only in certain cases, such as kidney failure or when diabetes poses more of a health threat than does the transplant itself.

Projecting from data attained by the Kepler telescope scientists from Caltech have estimated that there are 100 billion exoplanets in our galaxy alone. Per the article:
The scientists analyzed Kepler-32's structure, compared it with other planetary systems discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope and sat down to do some math. The result: an estimate that the Milky Way is home to at least 100 billion planets....Interestingly, another team of astronomers last January came up with the same estimate using a different database and different technique. What spurred that team's work was an original estimate by Kepler scientists in 2010 that the Milky Way had at least 50 billion planets.

I've forgotten where I heard this statement, but it rings true to me and feels very applicable here:
When Nature does something, it frequently does it more than once.
-- Anon.
Loren, you mean there is hope there will be a back-up planet to occupy once we wear this one out?
Oh, certainly. It's just a question of whether we'll develop the technology to spread out, before we wipe ourselves out.
has anyone plugged this new info into the Drake equation? i know the equation doesnt have a value for number of exoplanets, but uses a % of stars that have planets
50 billion planets emphasizes the The Great Silence. Where are the other advanced sentient species in the Milky Way?
But one solution stands out from the others, mostly on account of its brute elegance: The Great Filter.
Conceived in 1998 by Robin Hanson, the GF is the disturbing suggestion that there is some kind of absurdly difficult step in the evolution of life — one that precludes it from becoming interstellar.
And like the immutable laws of the universe, the GF is a stumbling block that holds true across the board; if it applies here on Earth, it applies everywhere.
The basic idea is that every civilization destroys itself before developing space-faring technologies. Hence the empty cosmos.
Fossil fuel suicide seems the most obvious explanation to me.
We conquered Earth because we mastered fire, a second energy source beyond food. Isn't it likely that other advanced sentients co-evolved with fire too? It's the easiest second energy source. But when you've deforested, fossil fuel becomes your secondary energy source. This lures us into unbalancing the chemistry of our home planet, causing a mass extinction. Voila! Great Silence. I think we have already entered the initial phase of The Great Filter which did in our galactic predecessors. We can be smarter and more adaptable by completely switching to sustainable energy right away and limiting our population. We have a chance to master the absurdly difficult step in the evolution of an advanced species. But only if we act NOW.
Ruth, the concept of the Great Filter intrigues me and I see at least two ways filters slow or end the processes of life on Earth, only to be regenerated again, throughout the life of planets.
1. Of course the filter of fire. Your description, "when you've deforested, fossil fuel becomes your secondary energy source. This lures us into unbalancing the chemistry of our home planet, causing a mass extinction. Voila! Great Silence."
2. This filter involves the character of human beings with aggression, violence, and fighting over land and resources and in the case of patriarchy, control of women and nature. Homo sapiens started with rocks, then arrows, axes, long bows, dynamite, nuclear weapons and continue gaining in knowledge and capability to destroy life as we know it. "Voila! The Great Silence".
This current religionizing of the military, using belief and faith in some magical power to motivate "our" side to more weapons and wars with killing and destroying and occupying foreign lands, not only communities but also ancient heritage sites, until "One World Order" becomes a Handmaid's Tale.
Remember: "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

Commen WebCam issues and how to fix them:
How do I know if my webcam is working?
Many times even though we our certain are webcam is working we really dont know if it is or now. You can go to the following link and test you webcam to make sure it is working. Most webcams have an LED that lights up when the webcam is working. You can also go to the following site to test your webcam: http://mailvu.com/testCamera/TestYourWebCam.html anytime to see if your webcam is working and how your webcam appears to others. Record yourself on the test tool and play it back, and you will be able to see your webcam fps rating below the play back window. If you get an empty box instead of a webcam image then your webcam is either disabled or the software drivers are corrupted. Go to Control Panel,Hardware, Devices and look for your webcam. Go through the tabs to make sure it is Enabled. If you don't see your webcam, or you can't click enable, then you will need to reload the software drivers, either from disc or the manufacturer's website. Once you think you have it working you may want to reboot your computer.
How can I improve the webcam image quality?
Ustream recommends that you have at least 400kbps. Before doing anything else go to http://www.speedtest.net and click the star closest to you to find out your speed. There are 3 major factors to your webcam image quality: webcam quality, lighting, and bandwidth. External webcams usually have better specifications than built-in webcams. Be sure to use a webcam that supports 1.3Mp or better real image resolution (not "enhanced") as well as 30 frames per second (fps). Always have light shining on your face and never behind you. Put a lamp on your table if needed, have your overhead lights on, and make sure any light behind you is muted as much as possible (for example close the curtains if there is a window behind you). The more bandwidth the better. Use a wired connection instead of wireless.
What is Webcam fps and how do I improve it?
Webcam frames per second can make a big difference in the image quality.You can use the follow link for lots of useful information on what impacts fps, how to test your webcam fps, and things you can do to improve it. http://webcamfpstest.weebly.com/
What Webcams are recommended with Ustream?
Ustream is compatible with many devices. Here are a few that are popular among our community:
1. Built-in webcam in laptops - these webcams are actually very good for video chats. Sony, Dell, and many of the major computer manufacturers are embedding webcams and they work well with Ustream.
2. Camcorders - the Sony DCR-HC38 is also very popular among those in our community who want the ability to zoom, record a local backup via tape, and want to mount a camera on a tripod for panning/tilting, etc.
3. Webcams - the Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks is also very popular among the Ustream community. These retail for approximately $50 USD at major electronics retail stores.
4. High-end production cameras - the Panasonic AG-DVX100B Digital Video Camera/Recorder is very popular among the professional webcasting community. This high-end camera is used by major media companies as well as Fortune 500 corporations. This device has many features including the ability to adjust advanced audio/video settings.
5. Mobile phones - you can go to http://www.ustream.tv/mobile to reference currently supported handsets. Check back often because Ustream is always innovating and bringing exciting products to our community.
You can also use this page to get an idea of Webcams that work with Ustream http://astore.amazon.com/utv-20.

Nova's latest pattern is Nesting Fabric Bowls. I don't know about you but I can always use more storage around the house, and these bowls are so versatile the possibilities are pretty much endless!
|photo courtsey of Nova - a cuppa and a catch up
I made two individual baskets rather then a set because I wanted to experiment with the pattern a bit.
With Easter just around the corner I wanted something cute for egg hunting.
This is the 6" basket embellished with a raw edge applique bunny. I added one long handle so it can be hung from one arm when searching for all the Easter eggs in the garden.
What I found especially helpful was the formula Nova provides for calculating the measurements of your own custom sized container. I am pretty lazy when it comes to maths so any help I can get in that department I'll gladly take :)
My next bowl is made with custom measurements. I used some small patchwork blocks I made with Ayumi's Scrappy Hour Glass tutorial for this one.
The pattern suggests using interfacing which I didn't have on hand. So rather than wait and order some I used fusible batting instead. This makes for a little less firm bowl but mine still hold shape and stand up on their own.
I still want to make an actual nesting set and a teeny tiny small basket ooooh the possibilities! They'd make great gifts don't you think?
Nova has kindly offered to give away a copy of her pattern! Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win :) I will leave comments open till midnight Sunday and announce the winner Monday morning. Make sure there is a way for us to contact you should you win!!
You can by the nesting fabric bowls pattern here
Thanks Nova!

One of our volunteers soliciting gifts for our Annual Meeting auction mentioned to me that several of the places she has contacted asked the question, ?Does this disease affect kids?? When they asked her that question, she thought, ?Yes, of course it affects kids.? She remembered how difficult it was on her daughter and her whole family when she was diagnosed. I immediately understood what she was talking about. Just because a child doesn?t have a disease, doesn?t mean that the ?kids? are not affected.
As we all know, people and companies are more inclined to give to organizations that involve diseases that affect kids. Also, getting any kind of media acknowledgement without cute kids is very difficult as well. And, although we do, unfortunately, know children and young adults who are diagnosed each year with one of our diseases, most of our patient base is people over 40.
We often overlook the effect that a disease like pemphigus or pemphigoid can have on a family. It is so important that not only should the person with our diseases get the support and care that they need, but that kids, spouses, significant others, grandparents, and close extended families have the opportunity to find sympathetic ears and hearts for their needs as well. Sometimes, diseases can be more devastating to the families than the patient themselves.
When I was diagnosed some 25 years ago, I was raising my 6 year old daughter alone. Although I had the support of family, my daughter was emotionally devastated. She had lost her father when she was too young to remember him, but nevertheless, he had made his imprint on her life. She started exhibiting out of character behavior which was very concerning, so I brought her to a child therapist. After 3 months of therapy, she revealed to the therapist that she was afraid that she would be an orphan, and who would love and take care of her? I told my dermatologist at the time, Dr. Clarke, what had transpired and she said, ?Bring her in. I?ll talk to her.? So I brought my daughter to see Dr. Clarke. Dr. Clarke went to her desk and took out her business card. She said to my daughter, ?You?re mother is not going to die. I want you to take this card. It has my name and my phone number on it. If you have any questions about anything, you just call me.? When we got home, she put the card in her clothes draw where it sat for many years. Her uncharacteristic behavior stopped. She never used the card, but just knowing that the card was there made all the difference in the world.
Our diseases affect everyone in our families and if anyone ever asks whether your disease affects children, the answer is always ?Yes!? Emotional issues can sometimes be more difficult than physical ones. At our Annual Meetings, we always have a Caregivers meeting during our Sunday event. We have a section on the website for Caregivers. From my observations, women seem to be more open to therapy than men, but there is nothing shameful in seeking help. Communication is so important in keeping families together.

The First Objects in the Universe
By probing the most distant objects, the ELT will provide clues to understanding the formation of the first objects that formed: primordial stars, primordial galaxies and black holes and their relationships. Studies of extreme objects like black holes will benefit from the power of the ELT to gain more insight into time-dependent phenomena linked with the various processes at play around compact objects.
The ELT is designed to make detailed studies of the first galaxies and to follow their evolution through cosmic time. Observations of these early galaxies with the ELT will give clues that will help understand how these objects form and evolve. In addition, the ELT will be a unique tool for making an inventory of the changing content of the various elements in the Universe with time, and to understand star formation history in galaxies.
One of the most exciting goals of the ELT is the possibility of making a direct measurement of the acceleration of the Universe's expansion. Such a measurement would have a major impact on our understanding of the Universe. The ELT will also search for possible variations in the fundamental physical constants with time. An unambiguous detection of such variations would have far-reaching consequences for our comprehension of the general laws of physics.

From the moment we begin to hear, our auditory system is precisely tuned, able to distinguish subtle differences between sounds. But how does it get that way? New research reveals how developing ears generate their own noise, a process that may help calibrate our auditory system.
Johns Hopkins University researchers studied the auditory systems of rats, which are deaf until about 12 days of age. During this prehearing period, the scientists discovered, the rodents have bursts of activity in certain cells—called support cells—in their cochleas. These nonnerve cells spontaneously release a chemical messenger called ATP, sending signals to other cells in the inner ear and eventually to the brain.
"It appears that this activity plays an important role in the development of the auditory system," lead researcher Dwight E. Bergles says. For instance, it seems to be necessary for refining the brain maps that differentiate among auditory frequencies. The spontaneous activity—which, in humans, would take place in utero—may also shed light on tinnitus, or the perception of phantom sound, and explain how certain genetic mutations can cause deafness.

|Aquamist is ERL's latest generation of water-injection equipment. The main function of these systems is to suppress detonation caused by high temperature and pressure developed within the combustion chamber when the effective compression ratio has been taken beyond the auto-ignition point by either a turbo or a supercharger. Water, with its high latent heat content, is extremely effective for controlling not only the onset of detonation but also the production of oxides of nitrogen in the modern leanburn engines. ERL's latest products are designed with great care to ensure each system meets the highest standards of both electronic and mechanical reliability.

Pulltab Revenue Remains Stubbornly Low
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota's electronic gambling games still aren't pulling in the cash the state is counting on to pay its share of the new Vikings stadium.
The Gambling Control Board says electronic pulltabs are generating about $500 per day at each bar - about a third of projections. And the machines have been installed in just 140 bars, far fewer than the goal of 2,500 by October/
State lawmakers say they need to brainstorm other options so Minnesota can pay for its $348 million share of the $975 million stadium.
House Commerce Committee chairman Joe Atkins says he may create a task force to tackle the problem.
