Hopefully no one ever has to do CPR but just in case here is the latest update to the procedure.
If anyone has questions let me know. Thanks.
Here is a step-by-step guide for the new CPR:
1. Call 911 or ask someone else to do so.
2. Try to get the person to respond; if he doesn't, roll the person on his or her back.
3. Start chest compressions. Place the heel of your hand on the center of the victim's chest. Put your other hand on top of the first with your fingers interlaced.
4. Press down so you compress the chest at least 2 inches in adults and children and 1.5 inches in infants. ''One hundred times a minute or even a little faster is optimal," Sayre says. (That's about the same rhythm as the beat of the Bee Gee's song "Stayin' Alive.")
5. If you're been trained in CPR, you can now open the airway with a head tilt and chin lift.
6. Pinch closed the nose of the victim. Take a normal breath, cover the victim's mouth with yours to create an airtight seal, and then give two, one-second breaths as you watch for the chest to rise.
7. Continue compressions and breaths -- 30 compressions, two breaths -- until help arrives.
ofcourse JUST KIDDING!
but seriously!
I learned CPR in grade school!
It was mandatory, a whole year of first aid!
Then I learned it again in the US ARMY
Then I learned it again in an OSHA confined space 30 hour class!
December 2010 I forgot how to do CPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will study this and learn again!
you ever feel like you are talking to yourself????????????
Elizabeth Edwards was a great woman, with i frikkn dick for a husband!
your team lost another one!
I am sorry! Huge loss!
On many levels, it would seem that life for Elizabeth Edwards often fell short of expectations. As a mother, she endured the greatest tragedy a parent can conceive--the unexpected death of a much-loved child. As a wife, her high-profile marriage to a philandering husband dissolved in the full glare of the public eye, a situation made all the more difficult by the fact that at the time, Elizabeth herself was battling the breast cancer that claimed her life on December 7.
Elizabeth Edwards.

Even her disease, which was diagnosed in 2004 and seemed to be in remission for a time, returned in 2007, this time to stay. When she ended cancer treatment on December 6, she had been advised she had several weeks to live. Even that expectation fell short, as she died the following day.
It would be very easy to look at Edwards as a tragic figure, someone who just couldnt catch a break in the things in life that really matter, i.e. family, love, health. Edwards, however, did not see herself--and would not let others perceive her--as tragic, but rather, as the title of her recent book indicates, resilient. When others would have crumpled under sorrow, humiliation, and excruciating pain, Edwards stood tall and fought on, ever determined, ever graceful, ever honestly.
Asshe herself said in an ABC interview: "I'm not going to get better, but I'm not just going to wait to die
that's not an alternative. You know, I want to spend the remainder of my days living--whatever description that is."
At the San Diego office of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Sandy Rabourne says: We breast cancer survivors call ourselves warriors, and I can honestly say that this week we lost one of our greatest warriors. We have so much respect for how she lived her life and how meaningful she made every day.
That sentiment is echoed by the San Diego chapter of the American Cancer Society, which saw her as a tremendous advocate for patients and as a very public role model for the type of courage that we see every day in so many of our patients who dont get the recognition but fight just as hard. When someone as high-profile as Ms Edwards succumbs, it reminds us of all that needs to be done, and why we get up and go to work every day to fight this killer. We hope that Ms Edwards passing encourages others to get screened and to learn about early cancer detection, because in early stages of breast cancer, there can be a better than 90 percent survival rate with proper treatment.
Of course, Edwards was not just about breast cancer and dealing with the aftermath of a spouses infidelity. She took a stance for whatever she believed to be right, and was an active participant in the political arena she shared with her husband during their marriage. She was John Edwards chief policy advisor during his presidential bid, and was instrumental in pushing him towards more liberal stances on subjects such as universal health care. She was an advocate for gay marriage, stating: "I don't know why someone elses marriage has anything to do with me. I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage. She also opposed the war in Iraq, and openly disagreed with her husband on both of these issues.
Elizabeth Edwards was a fighter. She stood her ground for many battles, but even the mightiest warriors need to rest at some point.

Motorola Q Pro prototype pops up on web
Just like the Q, but black
Posted in Personal Tech, 13th November 2006 10:21 GMT
Motorola's anticipated Q Pro smart phone has made another, more revealing appearance on the web in a series of pictures that indicate cellco Vodafone may have chosen to offer the Windows Mobile device to its customers.
The shots appear in a short report on Czech-language website iDNES. The machine on display is marked "engineering prototype", so it's hard to be sure how closely it matches what Motorola may finally ship.
The pictures show the Q Pro will sport a two megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom. You can see a mini USB port on there too and a memory card slot on unknown type - Mini or Micro SD probably.
The Q Pro is expected to support both UMTS 3G connections and the HSDPA download speed-up technology. Motorola said in February this year it was developing such a device for a Q4 release to carriers - shortly after canning a planned GSM version of the regular Q. Last month at an investors conference, Motorola officials mentioned the name 'Q Pro'. ®

Never miss another 'Marika Hackman' show
Marika Hackman
Marika's music channels something very different to the happy-clappy nature of recent folk. Hers is a far more potent vision in the lineage of Syd Barrett, but presented by an enigmatic beauty with a striking vocal delivery more akin to that of Nico deftly exploring an unsmiling bereft landscape.
Intrigue is at the heart of Marika's music, but there's something gloriously attainable about her as an artist, and her commitment to touring and meeting with a receptive audience who are searching for the very same antidotes to the challenges of modern life.

Since Chevrolet introduced the LS7-powered 2014 Camaro Z/28, the number one question on everyone's mind has been – "how much?" Well at long last, we have our answer. $75,000. And there is also a $1,150 package to add air conditioning and a full sound system (only one speaker is standard to save weight). Only five colors are available – Red Hot, Black, Silver Ice Metallic, Ashen Gray Metallic, and Summit White.
Give that a second to sink in. Now in many circles, the immediate reaction is going to be $75,000 for a Camaro? Are you kidding? But if you are reading GMHTP, than you know how much aftermarket parts cost. And for once, I promise you cannot build a car of this caliber for cheaper. Yes, that's right, at $75,000 the Z is actually a good deal. If you used a 2014 Camaro SS 1LE with Recaro seats as the basis of building your own Z/28, you are looking at a base price of just under $43,000. An LS7 crate engine is going to cost about $15,000, and you are already at $58,000 without having an oil tank and lines plumbed for the dry sump system. With only ZL1 front and rear brakes, the total price goes over $61,000. Factor in labor for the engine and brake install, plus a few other odds and ends to make it track-ready, and it will cost $75,000 to build a slower car – devoid of carbon brakes, high-dollar shocks, huge R-compound tires, weight shedding, factory warranty, and the tremendous amount of R&D that only an OEM can provide.
The 2014 Camaro Z/28 is the ultimate no-comprises road course machine. It pulls up to 1.08 g in cornering, and as the result is four-seconds faster than the ZL1 on the legendary Nürburgring road course as well as many notable supercars including the Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. The Z is one of the first production cars to offer full-on race technology and parts such as the adjustable, spool-valve dampers and 305/30ZR19 Pirelli PZero Trofeo R compound tires. For full specs and more pictures of the Camaro Z/28 check out the latest release (here). Dealerships will start taking orders later this month, and the first cars will be delivered in late spring according to Chevrolet.

The venue is packed as Los Angeles-based band Dawes takes the stage. Although they could have filled an even larger venue, the intimate atmosphere at Infinity Hall is welcomed by guitarist and lead vocalist Taylor Goldsmith. "I'm pretty sure venues like this are exactly what our music is meant to be played in. No bigger, no smaller. This is exactly perfect," he told the audience after opening with "That Western Skyline" and "The Way You Laugh." With his brother Griffin Goldsmith on drums and vocals, Tay Strathairn on keyboards and vocals, and Wiley Gelber on bass, the foursome's carefully crafted rhythms and tight harmonies have been compared to the Laurel Canyon sound of Crosby, Still and Nash and Neil Young. Taylor commented on Dawes' chemistry both musically and personally. "We're all extremely close," says Taylor. "I don't think this would work if we weren't. A big part of our careers and our time spent playing music is on the road." The band puts an emphasis on its live sound, even turning to traditional methods when recording albums. Strathairn points out that the band records on two-inch tape, laying down an entire track at once rather than recording each part separately. "The performance becomes paramount. We're all in a room, and they say go, and you have to do a whole take of a whole song. We're a live band essentially, and I think that captures us a bit," he says. The group tours extensively and considers its live performances to be its greatest asset. "Music being what it is today, where the value of the record isn't what it was and people could take it for free if they want, the only way to carve out a career for yourself is playing on stage and playing shows and having people come out to the shows. It's always been the best way to spread the word about the band," says Taylor. True to his word, Taylor shows his appreciation for the audience by turning his microphone stand toward the singing crowd as they belt out the chorus line during an inspirational rendition of "When My Time Comes." Dawes closes the show with "Time Spent in Los Angeles," the song they played in June 2011 while performing on The Late Show with David Letterman.

text: I know that I have discussed this in several threads but thought I would provide a visual example of this as I am finishing up maintenance on one of my own scalable systems. They are used in anything from 3 over 3 per side on top of subs to flying a distributed system around an arena, to a bunch of high quality speaker on sticks depending on need. All are 10" x 2 way with ATM Flyware and speaker butt plugs on every cabinet. It was a cabinet I designed 17 years ago as a tourable installation type product for conference and convention work as well as live theatre. These cabinets earn a good living every year and have required almost nothing in repairs over the 15 years. Plenty of life left in them so they will continue to earn money without ongoing costs.

I think you've missed the pabooint! This is the story of the JEWS -, THEIR HERITAGE! We have always been good in business BUT it happened after they got their freedom - from slavery! you should read the story of the jews - from the beginning and up till today. Maybe then you'll understand - Jewdaism is NOT about business , power and money!!!!!!

Who is trying to Destroy the Jews? If they are in danger of disappearing from assimilation, it can't be blamed on persecution from the world . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Jews hold high positions and have high salaried careers in Finance, on Wall Street, in Fine Hospitals, prestigious Law Firms........these institutions all seem to open their arms to the Jews without any persecution. . . The Motion Picture Industry was built around Jewish values and Jewish humor.. Movie Moguls and Studio Heads were Jewish and could decide exactly the content and messages of the films that America and the rest of the world saw and to a large extent copied their lives after.. Same for Vaudeville, Broadway and then later Television. Now the Internet has become the media, and I can access Aish and Israel every day. . . Jews, few in numbers made a huge impact through the media. In this video one can see open worship at the Wall, one can see the Torah being held high in Public. Jews in Israel, Jews in America, are free and prospering. Isn't that a time for celebration and for looking forward? We heard quotes in the video from 1890's and 1940's about the Jews. Who is talking about the Jews today and what are they saying? And is anyone listening to them and quoting them? Seems this would be revelant.

Last Updated: 10/05/13 12:32am
After Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed his retirement following 26 years in charge, Old Trafford chiefs swiftly turned to another Scot to lead a new era.
And United legend Charlton believes Moyes' strength of character and commitment to the long-term make him the right man for the job.
"I have always said that we wanted the next manager to be a genuine Manchester United man," said Charlton.
"In David Moyes, we have someone who understands the things that make this such a special club.
"We have secured a man who is committed to the long-term and will build teams for the future as well as now. Stability breeds success.
"David has tremendous strength of character and recognises the importance of bringing young players through and developing them alongside world class talent.
"At United, I think David will be able to express himself.
"I am delighted he has accepted and I'm looking forward to working with him."
United co-chairmen, the Glazer brothers, also welcomed Moyes to Old Trafford on Thursday, paying tribute to the Everton manager.
Joel Glazer said: "I am very pleased David has agreed to lead Manchester United into the future.
"His hard working style and steely determination are characteristics we value at the Club. He has impressed as a coach for many years now and we strongly believe he will be able to take up from where Alex is leaving off by continuing this Club's tradition of flair football played by exciting, world class players."
And Avie Glazer added: "The search for a new manager has been very short. Alex was very clear with his recommendation and we are delighted that David has agreed to accept the job.
"He comes to us with excellent credentials and a strong track record. I know he is keen to get started and Ed will be sitting down with him as soon as the season is over to discuss plans for the summer and beyond."

Gaarder carved out a place for himself in the UND hockey history books Friday night, becoming the first walk-on (no scholarship money) that anyone could recall to score a hat trick.
His three-goal game was pivotal as North Dakota downed Boston University 4-2 in front of 11,589 fans at Ralph Engelstad Arena in the nonconference battle between two ranked teams. North Dakota came into the series ranked 5/6 in two nationals polls, the Terriers 12th in both.
Gaarder's third goal -- he came into the game with zero this year-- proved to be the winner. It came on a 5-on-3 UND power play when North Dakota freshman Rocco Grimaldi (Rossmor, Calif.) jetted around the net and feathered a pass to Gaarder in front to snap a 2-2 tie at 4:24 of the third period.
Gaarder scored four goals in 33 games last year, then nearly matched that in one night on Friday.
That Gaarder is playing without scholarship money didn't figure big into the thoughts of UND coach Dave Hakstol after the game.
"Those things don't matter,'' Hakstol said. "He's a good hockey player. He goes to those hard areas. He wasn't the only one who played a good hockey game tonight, but obviously he was a key player for us.''
In a matchup of powers from Hockey East (BU) and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (UND), breaks and bounces played a key role, too.
UND's Corban Knight (High River, Alberta) hit two goal posts in the first period and UND had two goals disallowed by officials on rulings that the whistle had blown first. And with two minutes left in the game, BU had disallowed after a video review by the officials. Officials never called it a goal on the ice and upheld that on review.
Gaarder scored his first when Mark MacMillan (Penticton, British Columbia) had his centering pass from left wing go in off Gaarder's skate to tie the game at 1:11 of the second period.
His second goal was a wrist shot off right wing for a 2-1 UND lead at 7:07 of the second period.
His third on Grimaldi's perfect feed was the biggest of them all. "That's the type of player he is,'' Hakstol said. "He's a hockey player. He's a gritty kid who goes to those greasy areas.''
"It felt good,'' Gaarder said of his hat trick. "BU is a great team. It's nice to get the win tonight.''
In a game where NHL draft picks littered the lineup of both teams, a walk-on stole the show. That didn't mean much to Gaarder. "I just play my game, go out and work hard,'' he said. "The first one was a lucky one off my foot, so you can't say I did much there.''
He did plenty enough to boost North Dakota to 3-1-1 overall while dropping BU to 3-2. UND leads the overall series between the two schools 12-7-1.
BU took the first lead on Danny O'Regan's rebound goal at 16:52 of the first period.
Two Gaarder goals moved UND ahead 2-1 in the second period, but defenseman Ahti Oksanen's first college goal on a 5-minute major to UND captain Andrew MacWilliam for contact to the head tied it at 12;10 of the second period.
It was BU's only power play chance of the night. The Terriers got just one shot on goal on the 5-minute major, but converted it.
On the other hand, UND had seven power plays, mustering 11 shots but converting only the 5-on-3 to win the game.
Penalty trouble eventually hurt BU, according to coach Jackie Parker, in his 40th season behind the Terriers' bench.
"I thought the penalties wore us down as the game progressed,'' Parker said. "We got the 5-minute major on the power play and I got the feeling that some of the calls might go the other way for them once they gave us the 5-minute major.''
North Dakota outshot BU 35-22, including 14-5 in the third period when UND controlled the puck for long stretches at a time.
"We didn't generate much offense the second half of the game,'' Parker said, "and I think that's a credit to how hard they played defensively and through center ice.''
Grimaldi sealed the victory for North Dakota with 20 seconds left, scoring into an empty net after BU goalie Sean MacGuire (31 saves) was pulled for an extra attacker. That gives Grimaldi at least one point in his last seven games going back to last year.
"It was a lot better start than we've had in a while,'' Grimaldi said. "We definitely ended it really well. We finally got the power play going.''
His opinion of Gaarder's night? "What do you want me to say, it's unbelievable,'' Grimaldi said. "The kid was absolutely flying out there.''
UND notes: Gaarder's hat trick was UND's first since March 11, 2011, when Matt Frattin and Jason Gregoire each scored twice in a win over Michigan Tech in the first round of the WCHA playoffs ... Gaarder and Grimaldi led the team in shots on goal with five each, followed by sophomore left wing Brendan O'Donnell (Winnipeg, Manitoba) with three . . .. Grimaldi and Gaarder were both plus-2 in the plus/minus ratings, tops on the team . . . Junior Clarke Saunders (Brockville, Ontario) was solid in goal for UND with 20 saves while Parker had special praise for his freshman goalie MacGuire.
Virg Foss covered UND hockey for 35 seasons for the Grand Forks Herald until his retirement in 2005. He now reports on UND home games for UNDSports.com.

NDSCS' Marohl named National ATEA Outstanding Technical Teacher
by NDSCS News
Posted on 3/31/2011
Betty Krump, ATEA Executive Director awards Terry Marohl with Outstanding Technical Teacher Award
NDSCS student Pausch named Outstanding Technical Student
St. Paul, Minn. -
The American Technical Education Association (ATEA) named Terry Marohl the Outstanding Technical Teacher at its national conference in St. Paul last night. Marohl is the Associate Professor and Department Chair of the Diesel Technology program at the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, N.D.
In addition, NDSCS welding technology student Chance Pausch, Hankinson, N.D., was named the Outstanding Technical Student.
The Outstanding Technical Teacher Award recognizes full-time, post-secondary technical instructors from anywhere in the nation whose performance and contribution are exceptional. Nominations are submitted by individual and institutional members of the ATEA. Innovative teaching strategies, involvement with business and industry, and the positive impact on students are additional qualities that are considered for this award.
The Outstanding Technical Student Award is given to an individual who is currently a full-time student in a post-secondary technical program. The student must be very strong academically and show potential in his/her chosen field. The student should also have an impact on other students and the institution.
Dr. John Richman, NDSCS president, attended the ceremony in St. Paul when the awards were presented. He cited Marohl's innovative recruitment strategies and tireless work to develop partnerships within the diesel program that set him apart. "To have Terry Marohl recognized at the national level by his peers, speaks volumes about the quality faculty and staff at NDSCS," Richman stated. "NDSCS is honored to have two national ATEA winners on our campus."
Chance Pausch, an active NDSCS student, has served on the student senate for the past two years and has represented the student body on the College's management team. Pausch is also a student representative on the College's Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Committee. In 2009, Pausch won a bronze medal at the national SkillsUSA conference and received a national FFA award - the American FFA degree. However, most on campus are wowed by his talent as a metal welding sculptor; his most popular sculptures are metal roses.
"Chance is a great student and well-rounded individual," said Richman. "He is very deserving of this award."

SAVANNAH, Ga. - The Savannah-area professional engineering community formally recognized Carol H. Abercrombie, a civil engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District for her notable contributions to water resource projects in Coastal Georgia.
Abercrombie received the 2013 "James Connolly Award" during the Savannah E-Week Technical Training Conference at Armstrong Atlantic State University, Feb. 19. The conference is held annually in Savannah as part of the nationally-recognized Engineer Week (E-Week) observance.
The Connolly Award is presented each year to a civilian or military engineer within the Savannah community for notable contributions in the field of engineering, particularly in design and construction methods. The award is named in honor of James B. Connolly (1868-1957), who was an Olympic gold medalist, Spanish-American War veteran, distinguished author, and a former Corps' Savannah District employee. Abercrombie is the ninth recipient of the Connolly Award since it was first presented in 2004.
"It's wonderful to feel appreciated by my co-workers and the Savannah engineering community as a whole," Abercrombie said. "I hope the work I have done has made a positive difference in the community."
The award was presented by the Savannah Community of Engineer organizations, which includes the Society of American Military Engineers Savannah Post and the American Society of Civil Engineers Savannah Branch.
With 31 years of service at the Corps' Savannah District, Abercrombie is a technical expert in coastal engineering and design. She serves as the Engineering Technical lead on numerous Civil Works Projects, most notably the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project. Other key projects she has worked on include the Tybee Island Beach Renourishment, previous deepening projects at the Brunswick and Savannah harbors, and tailrace dredging at the Richard B. Russell Dam in Elberton, Ga.
A resident of Hardeeville, S.C., Abercrombie holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of South Carolina and a Master of Science in Environmental Systems Engineering from Clemson University.

The Patti maintains the same style as the Joni but in the form of a comfortable and distinctive short zip boot.

Following The Rules Family tradition of finding inspiration in women who march to the beat of their own drum; Patti pays homage to the legendary "Godmother of Punk", who's been rockin' for decades.

Oh so comfortable if you size up
I picked up this pair at the Gastown store in Vancouver a few months ago and wore them all season. They are stable and comfortable enough to wear all day with no issues.
I usually wear a 7.5 but had to go a full size up to an 8.5 for these, but they're perfect. Would absolutely recommend.

Blanchfield Army Community Hospital dietician and local massage students encourage activity, nutrition, sleep and relaxation
Posted By News Staff On Sunday, February 10, 2013 @ 12:00 pm In News | No Comments
Fort Campbell, KY – Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) dietician and local massage school students offered 54 patients and staff an opportunity to learn more about the valuable health benefits of activity, nutrition, sleep and relaxation February 8th during Patient Recognition Month as they participated in a Wellness class and received free 10-minute massages.
BACH Dietician Capt. Christina Deehl told patients to avoid "fad" diets and to be careful about taking supplements.
"It's important for doctors to know about any supplements taken to ensure they do not negatively interact with medications," said Deehl.
Deehl encouraged exercise and lifestyle changes when relating to overall wellness and weight management. She told patients to eat a variety of the different food groups.
"You want to make sure you are getting enough fruits and vegetables every day. Try to stay away from the processed foods and lighten up on fat and sugar products and really eat the fresh foods as much as possible," she said.
Deborah Roget attended the Wellness Class and learned that a lot of supplements on the market are not actually good for you.
"You really need to look at the labels," Roget said. She also is taking some valuable advice home. "Make sure you have a balanced diet and look at portion sizes and you have to have some type of exercise. A little exercise is better than none at all."
Roget believes that much of the American population is unhealthy and was glad that the Wellness Class was offered to patients in honor of Patient Recognition Month.
"A lot of people do things because they don't have the knowledge and knowledge is power. So if you give them the knowledge, you will be able to use it to get healthy," said Roget.
Later that afternoon, 40 patients and staff were treated to a 10-minute "Wellness Massage" in honor of Patient Recognition Month.
James Watkins said, "It made me feel great and it helped take away tension in my lower back."
Casey Rockwell performed the massage on Watkins and many others for nearly two hours. She graduates April 4th, 2013, and obviously loves her new career path.
Rockwell said that the benefit from massages ranges from general relaxation to lowering blood pressure to realigning the way the muscle fibers lie.
"People in general need to be touched. It's a proven fact that they heal better, they work harder and have a better quality of life with a therapeutic touch in their life," said Rockwell.
Rockwell donated her time because the military is special to her.
"I've got military friends, and everybody from the spouses to the civilians supports our troops by working at the hospital," she said.
Soldiers, retirees and families are encouraged to attend the next event, a Love Your Heart Health Fair February 22nd from 11:00am to 7:00pm at Fort Campbell Sportsman's Lodge.
The following day, Saturday, February 23rd, everyone is encouraged to participate in the first Eagle Challenge Fitness Tour with the "Love Your Heart Run" organized by BACH, the 86th Combat Support Hospital and Morale Welfare and Recreation.
The 1-Mile walk/fun run, and a 5K and 10 mile competitive runs will begin at Fort Campbell's Camp Hinch. Interested participants can find out more information about the "Love Your Heart Run" and other events as well as sign up to participate by visiting the following website: http://fortcampbellmwr.com/ECFT/.

This month's activities support the Army surgeon general's Performance Triad initiative that focuses on enhancing the lifespace of our patients by educating patients on improving their health through activity, nutrition and sleep. What is lifespace?
Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho describes lifespace as, "Lifespace is when we make decisions on activity, nutrition and sleep (ANS). The surgeon general explains, "We estimate that most patients visit a doctor one to five times a year, and each visit is about 20 minutes in length. Those 100 minutes are the most we can impact patient health. The other 525,500 minutes in our lives are when we're at work, or at home with our families. It's in this lifespace where the choices we make impact our lives and our health."

Cosmological results
from Planck, a third-generation satellite mission to measure the cosmic
microwave background, have just been announced. These results improve
constraints on essentially all cosmological parameters, and have implications
for several preexisting sources of tension with the standard cosmological
model, while also raising new puzzles. I will discuss these results and
their significance, as well as the next steps forward.

Submission + - Android's Success a Threat to Free Software? (linuxjournal.com)
Glyn Moody writes: Two years after its launch, Google's Linux-based Android platform is finally making its presence felt in the world of smartphones. Around 20,000 apps have been written for it: although well behind the iPhone's tally, that's significantly more than just a few months ago. But there's a problem: few of these Android apps are free software. Instead, we seem to be witnessing the birth of a new hybrid stack: open source underneath, and proprietary on top. If, as many believe, mobile phones will become the main computing platform for most of the world, that could be a big problem for the health of the free software ecosystem. So what, if anything, should the community be doing about it?

The 318-acre intermodal terminal is surrounded by 930 acres that is planned for development of up to 7.9 million square feet of warehouse distribution centers, light industrial and office facilities. The terminal features five 3,000-foot loading tracks and two 10,000-foot arrival and departure tracks. It's estimated the terminal will process up to 300,000 containers a year.
"The Central Florida ILC will add yet another transportation and logistics capability in a state that's already known for excellent ports, great highways and extensive railroad connectivity," said Clarence Gooden, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at CSX. "The terminal will provide an anchor for economic development in the region and position Florida for future growth while reducing congestion on the highways."
While Evansville Western Railway owns the facility, the terminal is operated by CSX Intermodal Terminals, Inc., with rail service provided by CSX Transportation (CSXT). Containerized freight previously handled at CSX's intermodal terminal in Orlando is immediately being shifted to Winter Haven. CSX will serve the region's intermodal market from the new Central Florida ILC and close its Orlando intermodal terminal. CSXT's Taft yard in Orlando will continue to serve other rail freight needs.
The terminal incorporates cutting-edge technology that is efficient, innovative and environmentally friendly. Several of its green technology initiatives include:
- three high-powered electric cranes that minimize noise and emissions;
- solar panels on each building which provide alternative and renewable energy sources;
- high mast exterior lighting using LED (light emitting diodes) to reduce energy consumption and light pollution;
- silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for its administration buildings.
"This is one of the most technologically-advanced facilities of its kind in the country," said Tony Reck, chairman and CEO of Evansville Western Railway. "The ripple effect of this terminal's operations will be felt statewide and beyond – ultimately setting the stage for future growth in the region. Without the tremendous support and visionary leadership of Winter Haven and state officials, none of this would have been possible."

Single Object Collisions (or more precisely, collisions with a wall)
Let's think of these as our single car accidents, or our tennis balls bouncing against a wall. In this system, we care about Impulse, which is the Integral(momemtum dt), or the change in momentum over a period of time. What happens in these collisions is that the object travels towards our brick wall (or equivelant), collides with it, then has some reaction. As an example, a tennis ball of mass 3 kg is travelling 10 meters/sec towards a brick wall. After colliding with the wall, the ball is travelling in the opposite direction at 7 meters/sec.
We know by Newton's First Law that the wall acts on the ball with a Force. Here is where things get interesting. How long did the ball have to stay in contact with the wall to slow down? What Impulse did the wall apply on the ball? These are variables that we, as the programmers, can control. As an example, if we want the ball to have a velocity of -7 m/s after leaving the wall, we know the ball has to decellerate -17 m/s^2. Based on this, we can determine the Force the wall applies on the ball based on the amount of time the ball was in contact with the wall. We can calculate: F = mass of the wall * acceleration. The acceleration = -17 m/s / numSeconds the ball was in contact with the wall. Pretty straight-forward.
What happens if our ball accelerates towards the wall according to functiong a(t)? We only care about the velocity at the point of impact to deal with momentum and impulse. So since momentum = Integral(Force dt) = Integral(mass * acceleration * dt), we can simply integrate the Force from 0 to time x, the time of the collision, to get instantaneous momentum.
One Dimensional Collisions- Elastic
Elastic collisions deal with conservation of energy. That is, if the total kinetic energy before the collision is equivelant to the total kinetic energy after the collision, the collision was elastic. The formula for kinetic energy of a single object is Ke = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2. So the sum of the Kinetic Energies of the individual objects before the collision is the same as after the collision.
As with all collisions, momentum is conserved. So the sum of the objects' momentums before the collision is equal to the sum of their momentums after the collision. Or mathematically:
Sum(mass[i] * velocity[i]) = Sum(mass[f] * velocity[f])
Handling one dimensional elastic collisions is pretty simple. It simply comes down to defining a formula to modify the velocities of the objects while conserving momentum and energy. Identifying them when designing your game, however, is important because energy determines how much work an object can perform. With inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is lost, so certain objects will stop doing work sooner.
One Dimensional Inelastic Collisions
Inelastic collisions, unlike elastic collisions, do not conserve kinetic energy. However, they do follow conservation of momentum. There are two types of inelastic collisions- perfectly inelastic collisions and non-perfect inelastic collisions. Perfectly inelastic collisions occur when the two objects collide and stick together, whereas non-perfect inelastic collisions have a restution. That is, objects bounce and move elsewhere. In one dimension, this is one object moving forward, and the other backwards.
Let's take a look at the math for perfectly inelastic collisions. The math is pretty straight-forward, and it's easy to solve for the final velocity. Notice that if we distribute the vFinal and write out all the individual terms, this looks exactly like the conservation of momentum equation.
m[1]vInit[1] + m[2]vInit[2] = (m[1] + m[2])vFinal //Or in more general form Sum(mass[i] * vInit[i]) = Sum(mass[i]) * vFinal
Non-perfect inelastic collisions have a coefficient of restitution to account for as well. There are a couple different formulas to calculate it, including:
Cr = (vFinal[2] - vFinal[1])/(vInit[1] - vInit[2]) Cr = sqrt(reboundDist/distanceToCollision) (or sqrt(reboundHeight/dropHeight))
When calculating the finaly velocities, we take in the Coefficient of Restitution into account with the following formulas:
vFinal[1] = [Cr * mass[2] * (vInit[2] - vInit[1]) + m[1]*vInit[1] + m[2]*vInit[2] ]/(m[1] + m[2]) vFinal[2] = [Cr * mass[1] * (vInit[1] - vInit[2]) + m[1]*vInit[1] + m[2]*vInit[2] ]/(m[1] + m[2])
Those final velocities will now allow us to take energy into account when describing an object's motion after the collision.
Hopefully this tutorial gives you a better idea of how to handle basic collisions. My next tutorial will discuss handling collisions in two dimensions.

Friday's horror in Aurora, Colo., once again confronts America with the senseless tragedy of gun violence. The debate over this country's relationship to guns will start all over again, and this time, in the middle of a presidential campaign.
The map below, by my colleague Zara Matheson at the Martin Prosperity Institute, charts the geography of gun violence across the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [PDF]. The data (from 2008, the most recent year available) include accidental shootings, suicides, even acts of self-defense, as well as crimes.
There were 10.3 deaths by firearms per 100,000 people in Colorado in 2008, exactly the same as the national average. Gun deaths were highest in Alaska (20.9 per 100,000) and lowest in Hawaii (3.1 per 100,000).
Last year, I took a deeper look at the the factors associated with gun deaths at the state level.
Gun violence and drug abuse are often presumed to go together, but we found no association between illegal drug use and death from gun violence at the state level. While it is commonly assumed that mental illness or stress levels trigger gun violence, we found no association between gun violence and the proportion of neurotic personalities in any given state.

Some might assume gun violence would be higher in states with higher levels of unemployment and higher levels of inequality. But, again, we found no evidence of any such association with either of these variables.
We did find several factors that are associated with firearm deaths at the state level. On the economic front, gun violence was higher in states with lower average incomes. Similarly, gun violence was less likely in states with more college graduates and stronger knowledge-based economies. Gun violence was also higher in states that tend to vote Republican.
In a separate post, I examined the pyschogeography of gun deaths. The classic study of the subject is by Richard Nisbett, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan. In "Violence and Regional Culture," published in American Psychologist in 1993, Nisbett examined the higher rate of violence in the South. After considering possible explanations having to do with poverty, the legacy of slavery, and even the region's hotter climate, he found a different answer in a cultural vestige of pastoralism: a deep "culture of honor" in which residents place an extraordinary value on personal reputation, family, and property. Threats to these things provoke aggressive reactions, leading to higher rates of murder and domestic violence.
A more recent study by Ryan P. Brown, Lindsey Osterman, and Collin Barnes of the University of Oklahoma, published in Psychological Science in 2009, reinforces Nisbett's findings and suggests that a culture of honor plays a particularly significant role in high school violence. The study found a culture of honor to be significantly associated with two indices of school violence: the percentage of high school students who reported having brought a weapon to school during the past month, and the prevalence of actual school shootings over a 20-year period.
My research also found a correlation between state policies toward guns and gun ownership:
Firearm deaths are significantly lower in states with stricter gun-control legislation. Though the sample sizes are small, we find substantial negative correlations between firearm deaths and states that ban assault weapons (-.45), require trigger locks (-.42), and mandate safe storage requirements for guns (-.48).

SEATTLE (AP) -- Snohomish County authorities say a third person has died following a massive landslide in rural Washington state that injured at least eight others and destroyed six houses.
The slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which prompted an evacuation notice because water is rising rapidly behind the debris. Authorities worry about severe downstream flooding if water suddenly breaks through the blockage.
The landslide also completely covered State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle. The slide was at least 135 feet wide and 180 feet deep and hit just before 11 a.m. on Saturday.
McALLEN, Texas (AP) -- Crews were working through the night after a barge carrying nearly a million gallons of especially thick, sticky oil collided with a ship in Galveston Bay, leaking an unknown amount of the fuel into the popular bird habitat as the peak of the migratory shorebird season was approaching.
Booms were brought in to try to contain the spill, which the Coast Guard said was reported at around 12:30 p.m. Saturday by the captain of the 585-foot ship, Summer Wind. Coast Guard officials said the spill hadn't been contained as of 10 p.m., and the collision was still being investigated.
The Coast Guard says the ship collided with a barge carrying 924,000 gallons of marine fuel oil. It didn't give an estimate of how much fuel had spilled into the bay.
Appeals court halts gay marriages in Michigan
CINCINNATI (AP) -- A federal appeals court has suspended gay marriages in Michigan, putting on hold a decision by a lower court judge who had struck down the state's same-sex marriage ban.
The Cincinnati court's order Saturday brings a halt to same-sex weddings in Michigan, at least through Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, same-sex couples rushed to Michigan county clerk's offices to get hitched before the decision, and several hundred managed to do so.
Nuptials followed one after another, at times en masse, in at least four of Michigan's 83 counties. Those four -- Oakland, Muskegon, Ingham and Washtenaw counties -- issued more than 300 marriage licenses to same-sex couples Saturday.
Federal Judge Bernard Friedman on Friday had overturned Michigan's constitutional ban, the latest in a series of decisions overturning similar laws across the country.
Plane carrying marijuana crashes near San Diego
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Authorities say an ultralight aircraft carrying about 250 pounds of marijuana has crashed in the mountains east of San Diego, but there's no sign of the pilot.
The downed plane was discovered Friday morning by U.S. Customs and Border Protection during a routine air patrol.
A team of federal agents picking through the wreckage in the remote Laguna Mountains found a helmet, gloves and other gear. There was also a pair of footprints leading away from the crash site.
Because there was no sign of blood, authorities believe the pilot walked away unscathed.
The marijuana was removed from the craft.
Mike Carney of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says agents are pursuing all leads related to the drug-smuggling incident.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- A 12-year-old Texas girl with a rare case of medically induced obesity that pushed her weight past 200 pounds is recovering after weight-loss surgery.
NBC News reports Alexis Shapiro was sedated and on a ventilator Friday after undergoing surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. A message left by The Associated Press at the hospital Saturday seeking an update wasn't immediately returned.
Doctors said Friday she was stable but expected to remain in the intensive care unit through the weekend.
Doctors expect the 4-foot-7 Shapiro to lose weight and resolve many health problems, such as type 2 diabetes and pulmonary issues.
WCPO-TV in Cincinnati reports the condition arose after brain surgery two years ago to remove a tumor damaged her pituitary gland and part of the brain that signals hunger.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The buds still aren't open on the cherry trees in Washington, D.C., but the national festival to honor the annual springtime event is blossoming.Saturday night to enjoy multicultural performances featuring singers and dancers. The Japanese ambassador to the U.S. marveled at the beauty of the pink and white blossoms but joked about the traffic snarls that also ensue. Washington D.C.'s mayor noted that even though it's spring, the region is expecting a snowstorm on Tuesday.
This year marks the 102nd anniversary of the gift of thousands of cherry trees from Japan as a symbol of friendship with the United States. Peak bloom is expected between April 8th and April 12th.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California used to be known as the "Bank Robbery Capital of the World."
No more.
The Los Angeles Times reports the number of robberies has declined, part of a larger trend that has seen crime rates fall across the nation.
There were 212 bank robberies last year -- the lowest since the 1960s -- in a seven-county region overseen by the FBI's Los Angeles office.
During the worst year in 1992, more than two dozen Los Angeles banks were robbed in a single day.
Authorities say better security at banks such as bulletproof acrylic glass has made it harder for bandits to get access to money. They also credit the ability to make high-resolution images of robbers available to the public through the Internet.
John Love, Bataan Death March survivor, dies at 91
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- An Albuquerque retirement home says John E. Love, a Bataan Death March survivor who led a campaign to change the caption on a historic photo from The Associated Press, has died.
Gerry Lightwine, pastor at La Vida Llena, says Love died Monday. He was 91.
Love was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.
Love later worked to change the caption on one of the most famous photos in AP's library about the march. The photo, thought to be of the Bataan Death March, actually was an Allied POW burial detail.
The AP corrected the caption in 2010, 65 years after the image was first published.
Vermont officials remind of ice shanty removal
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Forecasters are warning residents of the East Coast that another blast of wintry weather is ahead next week. But there's one sure sign of spring in New England today.
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is warning Vermont anglers to remove their ice shanties soon or face a fine of up to $1,000.
Officials say the law requires ice fishing shanties to be removed when the ice becomes unstable or by March 30, whichever comes first.
Shanties are also required to be labeled with the name and address of the owner.
State Game Warden Maj. Dennis Reinhardt says ice conditions can deteriorate quickly and this law exists to help ensure that shanties don't become a boating hazard and create debris that will wash up on shore.
NEW YORK (AP) -- A 12-year-old girl who plunged 35 feet into the elevator shaft of a New York City apartment building has survived with serious injuries.
The accident happened Friday afternoon in the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo.
The Fire Department of New York says the girl fell from the lobby of the building into the elevator pit. She suffered multiple injuries and is in serious condition at Bellevue Hospital Center.
Fire spokesman Khalid Baylor tells The New York Times that firefighters and medical technicians pried open the elevator doors in the sub-basement to reach her and hoist her up in a basket.
The elevator apparently had been out of service at the time of the accident.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the girl lived in the building.
Mountain lion attack on dog prompts California couple to obtain hunting permit
BEAUMONT, Calif. (AP) -- A mountain lion attack on a French bulldog has prompted a Southern California couple to obtain a permit to hunt the big cat down.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports Holly and Mark Adams received the permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife this week after their puppy was killed in their backyard in Beaumont.
Such a permit can be issued upon request when property is lost in an attack.
The couple says their purebred pet Mickey Blue was worth $4,000.
They said the cougar was tracked to a golf course, but then Beaumont police officials wouldn't let them use a firearm.
Cmdr. Greg Fagan said hunting is prohibited within the city limits.
Circus elephants escape, damage parking lot cars
ST CHARLES, Mo. (AP) -- Authorities say three elephants escaped from their handlers at a circus near St. Louis and damaged several vehicles in the parking lot before they were recaptured.
Television station KMOV reports that the female elephants escaped from the children's ride section of the Moolah Shrine Circus at the Family Arena in St. Charles.
TV station KSDK says the circus issued a statement saying the handlers were able to occupy the animals and that "they are now resting comfortably in their compound at this time."
Police say that the animals also damaged the venue's loading door.
Clinton says nation needs gradual debt reduction
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton says the nation needs to address the government's long-term debt gradually as the economy recovers. But he tells college students that making tough choices is hard in a money-fueled political system.
Speaking Saturday at Arizona State University, the former president told the Clinton Global Initiative University that political leaders who make tough decisions run the risk of a billionaire spending a fortune to run television ads against them.
Clinton notes that Republican congressman Dave Camp of Michigan has been criticized by fellow Republicans because his tax overhaul proposal includes new or higher taxes for investment managers and big banks.
Of Camp, Clinton says, quote, "Boy, did he get killed by his own crowd."
The former president says future debt reduction needs to maintain key budget priorities.

My inspiration doesn't necessarily always come from looking at design specific imagery or items but also comes from going about my everyday life. I find inspiration in unexpected things such as a shop window, random objects left behind on the street, and household items. Furthermore, I believe that typography is an essential part of design. Choosing the right font is an integral part of speaking to your target audience. I want to show people that a card which contains only type can be just as arresting and exciting as illustrated cards. www.victoriafong.com

HCSO tight-lipped on investigation of found skull
Law enforcement officials are remaining tight-lipped regarding an investigation into what may be a human skull discovered Monday morning at a location in northern Howard County.A press release issued by the Howard County Sheriff's Office Monday morning advised law enforcement officials were called to the scene around 11 a.m. at an undisclosed location in northern Howard County after what appears to be a piece of a human skull was found.Sheriff Stan Parker said the item has been sent to specialists to determine if the skull is indeed human, and, if so, details such as how old it is and whether it came from a male or female subject."The investigation is open and ongoing. There really isn't much more I'm at liberty to discuss at this time," Parker said.When asked if the skull is believed to be tied to any other ongoing investigations — such as a missing person or possible homicide — Parker declined to comment, once again citing the open investigation.A local resident, however, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed to the Herald Tuesday the skull was discovered in the trunk of a brown 1985 Buick. However, the informant could not confirm whether the skull was human.

Subtract some interest-rate worry and investors should see better days for the SPDR Select Sector Utilities Fund (XLU), down about 5% over the last month.
To MKM Partners strategists Katie Stockton and Jim Strugger, the timing looks about right. As they write clients this afternoon:
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has almost doubled since early May, reaching 3.0% last week after bottoming near 1.6%. Over the same period, related implied volatility across the curve as measured by the MOVE Index spiked twice toward 120 from a low of 50 in May. On a longer-term basis, the index is back into a sustainable range with a midpoint around 100. We interpret this to mean that Treasury yields are likely to stabilize relative to the violent move over recent months, when the worst-performing SPX industry groups were unsurprisingly the most interest ratesensitive: real estate (-11.8%), telecommunications services (-9.9%) and utilities (-6.4%). We think the combination of lower rate volatility and positive short-term technical setups makes for a tradeable rally in these industry groups.
