Extreme Weather Research Makeover
Is there a link between recent extreme weather events and climate change? An international group of climate scientists has set out to answer this question. They've formed a coalition, Attribution of Climate-Related Events (ACE), to investigate the connection between global warming and the increasing incidence and severity of tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, and floods.
In 2010, extreme heat waves caused massive wildfires in Russia, while heavy monsoon rains brought severe floods in Pakistan. The global average temperature was one of the highest since records began in 188o, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Previously, scientists have said that an increase in extreme weather events like these would be consistent with global warming but were hesitant to make a direct link between specific events and climate change because of the natural variability of weather.
The ACE coalition asserts that it is now possible to prove that greenhouse gases, resulting in observable increase in atmospheric moisture, are causing extreme weather events. In October 2011, a subset of ACE participants will publish a paper on this topic at the World Climate Research Program Open Science Conference in Denver.
ALSO … Many Americans are unaware that there is a consensus among U.S. scientists, 97 percent of whom agree that climate change is happening, according to a report published in May by George Mason University and the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. It found that 40 percent of those polled agreed with the statement "There is a lot of disagreement among scientists about whether or not global warming is happening."
ACE involves collaboration among scientists from some of the world's most eminent institutions in weather and climate research, including NOAA, the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the Met Office Hadley Centre in the U.K.
Dr. Kevin Trenberth, who heads the Climate Analysis Section at NCAR and hosted the initial meeting of ACE, argues that the evidence of a link between climate change and individual weather events is unequivocal. Communicating via email, Trenberth stated that the major issues to focus on are the changes in rainfall, flooding, drought, heat waves, and other extremes like tornadoes.
"All weather and climate events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they form is different," wrote Trenberth. "The failure to realize this means that the cost of climate change is greatly underestimated."
He said the group hopes to develop techniques and approaches for researching weather that can be used almost immediately, providing better information to the public and decision-makers.

How to Adjust Printer Settings from Windows 8
When you choose Print from many programs, Windows 8 offers one last chance to set up your printed page. The Print dialog box lets you route your work to any printer installed on your computer or network. While there, you can adjust the printer's settings, choose your paper quality, and select the pages (and quantities) you'd like to print.
You're likely to find these settings waiting in the dialog box:
Select Printer: Ignore this option if you have only one printer because Windows chooses it automatically. If your computer has access to several printers, click the one that should receive the job. Click Fax to send your work as a fax through Windows Fax and Scan program.
The printer called Microsoft XPS Document Writer sends your work to a specially formatted file, usually to be printed or distributed professionally. Chances are good that you'll never use it.
Page Range: Select All to print your entire document. To print just a few of its pages, select the Pages option and enter the page numbers you want to print. For example, enter 1-4, 6 to leave out page 5 of a 6-page document. If you've highlighted a paragraph, choose Selection to print that particular paragraph — a great way to print the important part of a web page and leave out the rest.
Number of Copies: Most people leave this set to 1 copy, unless everybody in the boardroom wants their own copy. You can choose Collate only if your printer offers that option. (Most don't, leaving you to sort the pages yourself.)
Preferences: Click this button to see a dialog box, in which you can choose options specific to your own printer model. The Printing Preferences dialog box typically lets you select different grades of paper, choose between color and black and white, set the printing quality, and make last-minute corrections to the page layout.

Fabricating A Custom Nerf Bar
My 1946 Ford roadster pickup sits pretty low, but the large gap under the tailgate has always bugged me. So, I decided to fabricate a nerf bar for the rear, incorporating the taillights. I fitted trailer lights as a temporary measure on the eve of the Rod & Custom road trip to Bonneville in 2008, and of course they're still on there, but look awful. I've kept them, but now they're somewhat disguised.
So, armed with a hydraulic tubing bender and a notcher, both supplied by The Eastwood Company, I secured all the materials I figured I'd need for a paltry $15, and set to work. Eastwood states that its bender can produce up to 60-degree bends in steel and chromoly tubing in 1 1/2-, 1 5/8-, and 1 3/4-inch diameter, and up to 90-degree bends in 3/4- and 1-inch tubing, and though I didn't need to produce bends over 45 degrees I couldn't get it to produce more than 60-degree bends in 1-inch tubing. The bottle jack that operates the die required a couple more inches of travel before the die moved. Referring to the instructions, the jack rod could be extended to provide more travel; 90-degree bends were then attainable, though this only applies to smaller-diameter tubing.
In operation, the bender was simple to use and performed effortlessly. It didn't take long before I was ready to break out the welder. In fact, I spent more time measuring and cutting than I did bending.
While the ends of the nerf bar feature the tubing simply cut at an angle and butt-welded, the joint between the lower tube and the mounts required a notch in the end of the latter to fit snugly around the tube before welding. I've done this in the past (and even built rollcages in the same manner) by careful use of a cutting disc in a grinder, and a file, but a decent tubing notcher saves much time Eastwood's tubing notcher makes use of easily sourced hole saws and a regular electric hand drill, meaning perfectly notched tubing is within everyone's reach. Just take it slow with the drill; hole saws don't take kindly to high speeds.
A project like this should easily be completed in a day, and can make a big difference to the appearance of any car, for very little outlay. Until you get the bill for chrome-plating that is …
Light Options
I'll readily admit the trailer lights on the truck were a temporary measure the night before leaving for Bonneville in 2008, and of course they're still there, but hidden behind the nerf bar they're not that bad. Plus, I like the fact that they're so bright compared to vintage lights. However, I had considered a couple of other options when planning the project. Originally I'd planned to curve the ends of the nerf bar around the corner of the pickup bed, and thought it'd be neat to use the lights I took off my other project, the "Purple Pig" '49 Chevy, as this'd provide reflectors too. I think this would have looked rather neat with the lights turned on their side. Teardrops were another brief option, if for no reason other than I already had a new pair, and their shape is very close to the curve of the ends of the nerf bar, but they're somewhat over-used in my opinion. Likewise, the '59 Caddy lights, which also would have had the disadvantage of being the rearmost part of the truck, and most likely would constantly be getting broken.

The order, which runs from 2012 to 2014, will see EDF order a minimum 50% and 30% of its turbines from the US and Europe respectively.
Speaking about the deal, Vestas president Ditlev Engel said the deal was worth as much as 2GW to the company.
Vestas said the two companies would also aim to develop new business opportunities in US, UK, Germany and Poland.
Engel said: "It is an important chapter in the history of Vestas and wind power, when a major world-wide player like EDF EN signs up an agreement of this volume proving that today wind power is mainstream.
"This share of wallet agreement is expected to have a potential of up to 2,000 MW or more for Vestas."

Alternative Loan Guide
Alternative loans are private loans through a lending institution and not part of federal government programs. These types of loan are in the student's name and a cosigner is often required. It may be possible to apply online or by phone and know within a matter of minutes if you are approved. Alternative education loans are based on credit. Application is made directly through the lender, and a co-signer may be required. Typically, applicants can know within a few minutes if they qualify for an alternative loan.
While these loans may be an option for you, we strongly encourage you to look at all financial aid alternatives such as grants, scholarships, and federal loans before applying for an alternative education loan. There are typically differences in the interest rates and repayment terms as well as other factors compared to federal loan options.
Alternative Loan Comparison Tool:
If you would like to research your alternative loan options, Fast Choice offers a free online resource that can help you compare student loan rates for private student loans. This link is offered as a suggestion to help you make a more informed decision as you have a right to the lender of your choice.
Alternative Education Loans for Parents and Family Members
Alternative Loan Terms Defined:
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
The APR is the annual cost of your loan including the effect of any fees and charges in addition to interest. The APR is determined based on the terms of the loan. APRs will differ based on the terms and loan amount. Make sure you are comparing like loan amounts when comparing APRs to receive a true comparison. Note, if the rate is variable, the APR may be increased after consummation of the loan. Take these terms and APRs into consideration when borrowing an alternative loan.
Repayment Incentives
Does the alternative loan reward borrowers who make payments on-time? For example, after 48 consecutive on-time payments will you receive an interest rate reduction?
Loan Limits
Does the loan have an annual or aggregate limit? Can you afford to borrow within these limits? It is a good idea to borrow from the same lender each year, so make sure the loan can cover your costs throughout your entire education.
Do you need to know quickly if you qualify? Does the lender offer loan pre-approval over the phone or internet?
Cosigner Requirement
Does the alternative loan require you to have a cosigner? Sometimes adding a cosigner can help reduce the interest rate of the loan. If you cannot find a cosigner, you will need to find an alternative loan you may borrow on your own.
Interest Capitalization
If you choose not to pay the interest on your loan while you are in school, the interest may be capitalized (added to your principal balance). When is the interest capitalized? Annually? At repayment? If the interest is capitalized annually, the loan is more expensive than if it is capitalized only once at repayment.
Does repayment begin immediately or after you graduate or leave school? Make payments whenever you can afford to, but if you cannot make regular payments while you are in school, you will need to find a loan that does not require immediate repayment.
Repayment Period
How long is the repayment period in which you repay the loan? If your educational costs require you to borrow large amounts, you may need a longer time to repay the loan.

We're ignoring Libya's lesson in Syria
Libya, if you recall (and Barack Obama certainly prays that you don't) was the president's last experiment with creating democracy through the innovative use of high explosives. It's now known within the administration as The Intervention That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Libya is a complete mess that's getting worse by the day.
The idea in Libya was that we'd fire a few rockets over Moammar Gadhafi's head to teach him a lesson about shooting civilians, then be on our way. No long and expensive war, no regime change, just a quick but firm rap on the knuckles. Change the names Gadhafi and Libya to Assad and Syria and it's practically identical to what President Obama is saying now.
But nothing in Libya worked out the way the president said it would:
• U.S. involvement lasted not a few weeks but eight months and cost $1 billion
• The few rockets turned into hundreds of missile strikes and bombing runs
• The assurances that we weren't planning a regime change — which rang hollow from the start; you don't fire cruise missiles at somebody to signal your neutrality — ended in the capture and murder of Gadhafi by the rebels we supported.
Standing at the end of his trail of broken promises, Obama was far from abashed. "The Libyan intervention demonstrates what the international community can achieve when we stand together," he declared in August 2011, boasting that "the power of people striving for freedom can bring about a brighter day."
Those ringing words are practically the last the president has even spoken about Libya. And for good reason. If he gave a speech about the place today, it would probably sound more like a recent headline from the British newspaper The Independent: We all thought Libya had moved on — it has, but into lawlessness and ruin.
Post-intervention Libya is a witch's cauldron of crime, corruption and terrorism. Armed militias roam the countryside like martial motorcycle gangs, shaking down anyone they please. Government security forces are too weak to do anything about it and, in any event, preoccupied with their own brigandage — the daughter of Libya's imprisoned spy chief was snatched away by one police force from the custody of another.
Civilians know better than to raise a peep about any of this: Three dozen or so who mounted a protest outside the barracks of a militia in eastern Libya a few weeks ago were killed on the spot. Human Rights Watch has barely been able to keep track of the wave of political assassinations in recent months. Even the most trivial political disputes escalate to mayhem. A heart surgeon who tried to carry out government orders to fire a hospital director was savagely beaten and then jailed by security forces.
Yet these might soon be regarded as Libya's good old days. Wildcat strikes by mutinous refinery workers have brought Libya's oil industry, the heart of its economy, to a virtual halt. From the 1.6 billion barrels of oil a day the country pumped under Gadhafi, production has dropped to 150,000 a day, less than half of what's necessary just to pay government workers.
What's left of the Libyan government is surviving on cash reserves, which officials say will run out by the end of the year. We'll see how the power of people striving for freedom copes with that.
All this chaos and suffering has not exactly enhanced the reputation of the Western powers that helped depose Gadhafi. Along with the assault that left four Americans dead in the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, there have been terrorist attacks on British, French and European Union diplomats. Both the United States and Great Britain have pulled most of their diplomats out of Libya.
As President Obama was trying to make his case for attacking Syria, he said Congress needed to remember the lessons of World War II. I'd say the president needs to remember the lessons of Libya:
• the Middle East is fraught with ancient religious, ethnic and tribal rivalries only dimly understood in the West
• they erupt in unpredictable and vicious ways when the balance of power is upset
• and there's probably a better way to deliver a prescription for peace and prosperity than in the payload of a Tomahawk missile.

Platform Category:
Earth Observation Satellites
Platform Series/Entity:
NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites)
Platform-based Instruments:
Related Data Sets
View all 17 records related to this platform
NOAA-2 was launched in October 1972 and was the first in a series of
reconfigured ITOS satellites launched with new meteorological sensors
onboard to expand the operational capability of the ITOS
system. NOAA-2 was not equipped with conventional TV cameras. It was
the first operational weather satellite to rely solely upon
radiometric imaging to obtain cloudcover data. The primary objective
was to provide global daytime and nighttime direct readout real-time
cloudcover data on a daily basis. The sun-synchronous spacecraft was
also capable of supplying global atmospheric temperature soundings and
very high resolution infrared cloudcover data for selected areas in
either a direct readout or a tape-recorder mode. A secondary objective
was to obtain global solar-proton flux data on a real-time daily
basis. The sensors were mounted on the satellite baseplate with their
optical axes directed vertically earthward. The nearly cubical
spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with
three curved solar panels that were folded during launch and deployed
after orbit was achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length
when unfolded and was covered with approximately 3500 solar cells
measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics and attitude control system
maintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopic
principles incorporated into the satellite design. Earth orientation
of the satellite body was maintained by taking advantage of the
precession induced from a momentum flywheel so that the satellite body
precession rate of one revolution per orbit provided the desired
'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in attitude and
orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by varying the
speed of the momentum flywheel.
The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer
(VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a Scanning
Radiometer (SR). The spacecraft operated satisfactorily until March
18, 1974, when the VTPR failed. NOAA-2 was then placed in a marginal
standby mode from March 19 to July 1, 1974. It was then used as the
operational NOAA satellite until October 16, 1974, when it was again
placed in a marginal standby mode. The spacecraft was deactivated on
January 30, 1975.

Progress ~ And now for a blast from the past. Super Puzzle Puyo, Too!
# Posted on September 3rd, 2010 03:39 AM by Gideon ZhiSo here´s one there hasn´t been any news on in a while! Years, in fact! Tonight, I did some tinkering with Super Nazo Puyu Tsuu (or, as we´ll probably be calling it, "Super Puzzle Puyo, Too!") I´d say that progress is astounding enough to warrant a full site update, and not just a twitter post. The full main dialog script has been inserted, whereas before only about two thirds of it had found its way into the game. The project has been brought up to date with current tools (instead of tools from, say, 2003 or earlier) and roughly half of the script has been edited. No work on the menu systems yet, though they shouldn´t pose too much of a problem. I´ve also added 23 new screenshots to the game´s project page, a link to which you can find at the top of this post. As usual I can´t say when it´ll be done, other than "soon, I hope."

Progress ~ Ancient Magic: Script Fully Inserted Ancient Magic
# Posted on May 1st, 2010 03:35 PM by Gideon ZhiA few days ago I finally managed to get Ancient Magic´s auto-format routine working nearly 100%. What this means, in effect, is that I add a single control code at the start of a string, and the game itself adds line breaks where appropriate. This is complicated by Ancient Magic´s text system for two reasons. First, there is no standard "line break" command like most games have; instead, the game has a "print cursor position" command, which takes X and Y parameter bytes. Second, the routine likes to recursively call itself, most notably to differentiate between the speech patterns of the male and female main characters. These have been fully retained in the text translation, and the routine is currently navigating said recursive jumps with about 98% accuracy. Of course we need 100%, but it´s really cool to see nonetheless.
The *nice* thing about the super annoying Cursor Position command is that it lets me tweak menus like crazy, and take advantage of the double-spacing that ten-ten marks usually occupy. I´ve also managed to add max hp and max mp indicators to the battle window, which the original game did not have!
I don´t know how much longer this will take, but I´d like to have it being playtested in a week or two. No guarantees on that, of course.

Miscellaneous ~ Pop! Goes The Weasel Tactics Ogre ~ Let Us Cling Together
# Posted on April 2nd, 2010 01:45 AM by Gideon ZhiWell, as I´m sure most people have realized by now, the Tactics Ogre patch translates the game into Al Bhed and not English. Happy April Fool´s Day, everyone! Consider this my way of getting back at all the are-we-there-yet whiners I´ve had to deal with over the years. If I truly intended to delay the patch two weeks for every person who asked when it´d be done, well, you´d probably be getting it on Christmas instead.
What´s no joke, however, is the very real amount work that went into this. The actual translation patch - which will be coming in a few days, don´t worry - will be nearly identical to the one available now. The Al Bhed version contains the full English text, sort of - I just used a different table file to insert it into the rom. In fact, if I didn´t have to get up for my crazy weekend work schedule in the morning, I´d probably get things ready to go right now! But them´s the breaks, and a few more days won´t kill you. And for those of you who are curious, yes, the Al Bhed version of the patch will be moved to the Tactics Ogre page´s "Extras" subsection, where it will be preserved for all who care to try it.
See you in a few days!

Progress ~ Tactics Ogre much closer Tactics Ogre ~ Let Us Cling Together
# Posted on March 6th, 2010 06:24 PM by Gideon ZhiAttached below are screenshots of stuff I´ve fixed over the last couple of days. First one shows the finalized L-view character list, while the second shows an expanded S-view character portrait window and hacked "Start: Parameter" graphic. Expanding that window was a right pain in the arse, let me tell you - and it still doesn´t function 100% correctly when the screen scrolls up or down. I´ve since fixed some major crashes, some nasty non-crash glitches, and a lot of really bizarre stuff, including stuff that worked breaking inexplicably later on down the line.
All that said, it´s look a *lot* nicer, and aside from the introduction to politics if you let the game sit at the title screen twice, you can play up to the world map without encountering any Japanese or glitches. The Warren Report menus still need rather a lot of work, the dates still display in Japanese on the map, I haven´t really tested much of the intermission stuff and the aforementioned political introduction is still broken (it´s only displaying one line of four) but otherwise I think I´ve fixed most of the biggest issues. It´s certainly a lot more stable than it used to be!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara head swim coach Gregg Wilson has signed seven women swimmers - including five NISCA/Speedo All-Americans - to National Letters of Intent during the fall signing period it was announced recently.
"I think this is one of the best - if not the best - women's signing class we have put together in my 26 years as the women's coach," said Wilson of the fall's seven signees. "I have to give a lot of the credit to my assistants Eric (Fehr) and Naya (Higshajima) for helping recruit this extremely talented group. There is tremendous upside with this recruiting class and we have really covered all of our bases except for distance freestyle."
Allison Knight hails from La Jolla High School and is a native of San Diego. Knight is a member of North Coast Aquatics where she is coached by Jeff Pease. A multi-talented swimmer, she specializes in butterfly, backstroke and the individual medley. Knight earned 2008-09 NISCA/Speedo All-American honors. She is a USA Swimming Senior National qualifier in the 200 fly and qualified for Junior Nationals in the 100 fly. With La Jolla HS, she was the 2009 CIF San Diego Section Division II runner-up in the 100 fly.
"Allison was the first of the group to sign with us and she is outstanding in both the butterfly and IM," assessed Wilson.
Taylor Munk will come to UCSB via San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, Calif. Munk currently swims for Crow Canyon Sharks under Gaucho alums Ethan Hall and Dan Cottam. She is a freestyle and individual medley specialist that has earned 2008-09 NISCA/Speedo All-American honors. Additionally, she is a USA Swimming Junior National qualifier in the 400 IM and was a 2009 CIF North Coast Section finalist in the 200 IM and 500 free.
"Taylor will help us in the middle distance races, swimming both the 200 and the 500 free. She currently swims for a pair of former Gauchos and will be a great addition," Wilson said.
Anne Peanasky hails from Sunnyvale, Calif. and attends Homestead High School. Peanasky is a member of Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics where she swims for Scott Shea and Tony Batis. She competes in freestyle, breaststroke and individual medley and is also a 2008-09 NISCA/Speedo All-American honoree. Peanasky has additionally qualified for the USA Swimming Winter Nationals in both the 100 breast and 200 free. With her high school team, she took third place in the 200 free and 100 breast at the 2009 CIF Central Coast Sections.
"Anne has recently dropped times in early meets this year and we are expecting more pleasant surprises from her. She is a versatile swimmer and will give us more depth in several events next season," Wilson commented.
Samantha Taylor attends Capistrano Valley High School along with men's swimming signee Lucas Norman. A native of Ladera Ranch, Calif., Taylor swims club with Coto Coyotes and is coached by Todd Conrad. A backstroke and individual medley specialist, she is a 2008-09 NISCA/Speedo All-American and was a 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier in the 100 backstroke. Taylor has also qualified for the USA Swimming Senior Nationals in both the 100 and 200 back and was a member of the 2009 USA Swimming National Youth Team. With Capistrano Valley, she was a 2009 CIF Southern Section Division I finalist in the 200 IM and 100 back and was the 2007 CIF SS champion in the 200 IM.
"Samantha is a very talented backstroker that will help us fill the voids that will be left by Naomi Javanifard and Katie Ure's graduation," Wilson said.
Mariah Tharp will come to Santa Barbara via Chowchilla, Calif. The senior at Clovis West High School currently swims for Clovis Swim Club with coach John McGough. A sprint freestyler, Tharp was a USA Swimming Junior National qualifier in the 50 free. With Clovis West, she was the 2009 CIF Central Section Champion in the 50 free and the runner-up in the 100 free.
"We needed to bring in a sprinter to replace the three exceptional sprinters we will be losing in the spring (Anne Marie May, Naomi Javanifard and Courtney Bauer)," said Wilson. "Mariah has good credentials, has size and speed, and I think she will fit in and benefit from our sprint program."
Andrea Ward will join UCSB after completing her prep career at Campolindo High School. The San Leandro, Calif. native also swims for Orinda Aquatics and is coached by Ron and Don Heidary. An individual medley and freestyle specialist, she too has earned 2008-09 NISCA/Speedo All-American honors. Ward has also qualified for the USA Swimming Junior Nationals. With Campolindo, she was a 2009 CIF North Coast finalist in the 200 IM and 50 free and also has earned San Leandro Times Athlete of the Week honors three times.
"Andrea has taken some big improvements in her times and will be used in the IM events and quite possibly also in the butterfly," Wilson said. "She will contribute greatly to our program."
Sophia Yamauchi comes to Santa Barbara from Montgomery High School. The Santa Rosa, Calif. native swims for Neptune Swimming under the tutelage of head coach Dan Greaves. A breaststroke and individual medley swimmer, she earned 2009 NISCA/Speedo All-American honors. Yamauchi is a USA Swimming Senior National qualifier in the 100 breast and a Junior National qualifier in the 200 breast. With Montgomery HS, she was a 2009 CIF North Coast finalist in the 100 breast.
"Sophia is six-feet tall and only 16 years old," said Wilson. "We are in need of a breaststroker with the graduation of Katy Freeman, transfer of Sara Nicponski and impending graduation of Carri Cook. Sophia is talented and has yet to reach her physical peak."
All seven signees will join the Gauchos for the 2010-11 season.
"Overall I am very excited about this signing class. The plan was to bring in a large women's class and we are still planning on adding a few more women in the spring," Wilson concluded.
The 2009 women's swim season continues on December 3-5 when the Gauchos travel to Federal Way, Washington for the U.S. Short Course Nationals.

Clear Braces in Berkeley: The Benefits and What They Accomplish
We can provide you with clear braces in Berkeley as a way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile. If you are one of the millions of adults that do not like their smile but is worried about wearing braces – join the club. This is a common concern since the thought of having a metal smile, getting food stuck in between teeth and feeling like an awkward teenager is enough to send most adults away from the orthodontist chair. However, we have good news for you. Clear Invisalign® aligners make it possible for you to straighten your teeth while still looking like yourself and avoiding any of the potential embarrassing moments. This solution has revolutionized orthodontics and made it possible for everyone to straighten their teeth, without it being obvious.
We can use clear braces in Berkeley to do the following:
Close gaps in between teeth
Straighten crooked teeth. By applying pressure to your teeth, we can gradually move them into the right position so that you can smile with confidence. Instead of using a series of brackets and wires to do so, we can use Invisalign® aligners. They are clear and discreet but work as effectively to move your teeth.
Align the bite. If your bite is out of alignment due to the position of your teeth, we can correct it using aligners. By pushing your teeth to the place they need to be, your bite will be improved. If you have an actual problem with the position or functionality of your jaw, we may recommend that you consider oral surgery.
Address overcrowding issues. If you have too many teeth for your smile, we can use orthodontic solutions like spacers and expanders to create more room. In some cases, you may need to have one or two teeth pulled in order to truly create enough space.
Wearing clear braces in Berkeley is incredibly easy. Here are a few of the many benefits of doing so:
Your smile will look better as you go. Since the aligners are clear, the improvements to your teeth will be visible during the treatment. This means that your smile will look better right away.
No one can tell you are wearing them. Discreet is the name of the game when it comes to clear braces. You can smile with confidence because no one will notice that you have your aligners in.
You can take them out to brush your teeth. Brushing your teeth is just as easy as before when you are wearing clear aligners. Take them out to brush and floss, rinse your aligners with warm water and brush with a soft toothbrush for a sparkling clean smile.
All of your favorite foods are on the table. There are no food restrictions because you can take your Invisalign® aligners out to eat.
To learn more about clear braces in Berkeley or to begin your treatment, call our office and schedule an examination. We will let you know if this is the best solution for you and come up with a treatment plan that will work for your goals and your lifestyle.

I have a Java program which needs to be a startup program that runs as administrator. It seems that cannot be done without making it a service. I have tried using
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Services\MyService. I tried something similar to what Google Updater uses (they use
...\Services\gupdate). The process does not start (or at least it stops right away, which I cannot tell for sure.
I think it is something wrong with how I am using the registry because the service does not show up in
msconfig.exe under the Services tab. Also it doe not show up in the Control Panel "View local services" (Windows 7, found in the Start Menu search for "services")
I tried a much simpler approach found here. I create a
.reg file with these contents.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"Description"="My Service starts the Special Process."
I am willing to consider an alternative command-line alternative if necessary, but I like the registry approach because if I tell my installer to add certain registry items, it will automatically remove those items on uninstall.
Is there any reason that above
.reg file would not add an item to
msconfig that is named "MyService"?
The program which I wrote is written in Java. It does not have a GUI interface.

Crows not so clever after all?
Under achievers The notion of the clever crow has been delivered a blow with a New Zealand study showing the birds do not mentally plan how to "solve problems".
Dr Alex Taylor, at the University of Auckland, says New Caledonian crows are known to be among the fastest in the world at solving certain tasks spontaneously.
One of the most common examples is a string-pulling task that involves hanging food from a piece of string.
Taylor says New Caledonian crows can, without a single mistake, pull up the string to obtain the food. This action requires them to pull up a segment of string and then step on it to prevent it from dropping.
However despite string pulling having been documented as much as 400 years ago, researchers still do not understand what cognitive processes are used by the birds to solve the problem, says Taylor.
"One theory is that crows are coming up with some sort of plan and executing the plan," says Taylor, of the Department of Psychology.
In a study published in the latest Proceedings of Royal Society B, Taylor discounts this theory by showing when the stimulus of food moving towards them is removed, crows fail a simple string-pulling task.
He says this shows that rather than having an "insight" into how their actions will help them gain food, the string pulling is motivated by the sight of food getting closer.
Coiled ropes
For the latest study Taylor and his team took 11 wild crows and after habituating them to rope, presented them with two pieces of coiled rope, both of which appeared to have meat attached to the end.
However one coil was continuous, while the other consisted of two segments with a 10-centimetre gap between the two pieces.
Taylor says because the ropes were coiled this meant when the crows pulled on the ropes, the meat did not immediately move closer, thereby removing the stimulus of a reward for their actions.
He says the experiment was also testing whether the crows understood string connectivity and would choose to pull the continuous coil over the discontinuous one.
However Taylor says individual crows showed no preference for the continuous coil and only one crow completed the experiment.
All other crows failed to pull the continuous string a sufficient number of times for the meat end of the rope to begin moving.
"If the crows had been mentally simulating their interaction with the string, they should have been able to predict the effect of repeated pulling and so been motivated to carry on string pulling without feedback [of a reward]," Taylor and colleagues write.
"Our results clearly demonstrate that such motivation was lacking."
To ensure the validity of the experiment, Taylor and his team also trialled the experiment with 50 students to ensure they would understand that pulling the end of the connected rope would lead to a reward. He says 49 of the students did this part of the experiment successfully.
Taylor says previous studies that show New Caledonian crows can solve vertical-string-pulling problems and the results of his study suggest crows can spontaneously solve problems without planning their actions.
"Crows aren't clever, they are only 'clever' at certain aspects of their life," says Taylor.
He says the fact not all birds are proficient at string pulling suggests there is some "particular brain hardware" also involved in the crows' actions.
"While spontaneous string pulling in birds does not require complex cognitive software, it may well require specific neural hardware," the researchers write.
Taylor says this work and previous studies with the New Caledonian crow suggest researchers need to rethink how to test intelligence in animals.
"What all these papers are showing is more careful thought needs to be given to how to test these abilities and more focus should be on highlighting when these things don't work out … [which is] equally important in understanding the evolution of intelligence."

We're pleased to announce the opening of our first store at the Portland International Airport. This location will showcase Pendleton's heritage for travelers from all over the country and the world. Doors will open on Saturday, August 4th, with a grand opening celebration planned for Thursday, Aug. 9th at 10 a.m.
The new store's expresses Pendleton's 'green' sensibilities. Upcycled fixtures and shelving made from reclaimed barn wood work alongside gears salvaged from our mill. Various vintage carts, wagons and display pieces add to the aura of industrial heritage. "We took an Industrial Chic approach to the design," says Robin Crowell, Retail Division Manager for Pendleton. "You'll see replica mill-style lighting and various elements of a working mill interior, galvanized pipe, specially designed wool fabric for fitting room curtains along with distinctive wallpaper and stained concrete floors throughout . . . all taking the sensibilities of the mill and translating it into a dynamic retail setting."
This dynamic translates into an exclusive merchandising mix, with Menswear and Womenswear in an extensive assortment of iconic Pendleton plaids and patterns. A rich collection of blankets will include plaid and tartan throws and National Park blankets, and the Native American-inspired jacquard Trade blankets for which Pendleton is so well-known. Beginning in September, shoppers will find The Portland Collection for Fall 2012. This collection offers a fresh perspective on Pendleton's iconic textiles as seen through the eyes of three independent and talented Portland designers. To mark the grand opening, Pendleton will host a ribbon cutting and an American Indian blessing along with store specials throughout the weekend.
For now, we invite you to enjoy a slideshow tour of the store in progress. You will see a lot of Shelley Prael in these images. The slideshow starts with her scrubbing away a century of wear on the gears that eventually grace the store's walls. Shelley also designed and created the dressing room wallpaper, a collage of vintage ads from Pendleton's past. As Pendleton's visual director, she has been hands-on through the creation of this exciting, unique space. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Shelley for her vision and hard work in bringing our new store to its opening day!

Augustus shows his veracity.
Politics, particularly in these times, is often the art of taking a pure idea, sucking it dry of honor and integrity, weighing it down with personal agendas and then trumpeting the resulting carnage as a great accomplishment.
This was exactly how the city's search for a long-term city manager was unfolding, until Ed Augustus, with his integrity intact, put a stop to it.
When Mr. Augustus signed a nine-month contract earlier this year to become the city's chief executive, he promised that at the end of those nine months he would walk away from the job and not put himself up as candidate for the position.
On Wednesday, he went on record to say he intended to keep his word, and in doing so he put a little trust back into our politics, even as the process revealed how corrupting it can be for a man of honor.
Everyone, except Mr. Augustus, seemed to have forgotten that he made the promise to walk away at the end of the nine months to soothe concerns that the search to replace former City Manager Mike O'Brien lacked transparency and that a back-room deal to hand him the job without a formal search process was in the offing.
City councilors swore that this was not the case, yet in their every action, it was clear they wanted no one else but Mr. Augustus. It was clear that lying to the public was acceptable to them, as long as they had their man.
They reinforced their deception with community "listening sessions'' to help them decide what was needed in a manager, when they already had their mind made up.
It was reported, for example, that "some councilors have said that if Mr. Augustus is interested in the job, there were enough votes on the council to give him the long-term appointment, thus forgoing the need for a national search.''
It was also clear that many in the business community didn't care that Mr. Augustus would be breaking his word if he were to take their advice and "strongly consider submitting your name as a candidate for city manager.''
And it was clear that many residents, bolstered by Mr. Augustus' legislative and community work experience, didn't care if he broke his word, as long as they had him working for them.
One can understand now why Mr. Augustus waited as long as he did to reaffirm his promise to leave at the end of his term. When the whole world is telling you it is OK to lie to get what you want, it takes chutzpah to hold on to your honor.
When he took the position, Mr. Augustus didn't know just how much he would come to love the job, and how passionately the community and business leaders wanted him to take it.
"When I received the call from Joe (Mayor Petty) asking me to consider stepping in as manager, it was not even on my radar,'' he told me Thursday.
"I agreed to do it. I put the nine-month limit in the contract and went about my business, but nobody wanted to take that as the answer.
"Everybody tried to convince me to stay on. It was an amazing cross-section of people from the neighborhoods, the schools, city government and the business community. Organizations and people I care about and whose opinions I respect told me that I had an obligation to do this for the city.''
In the end, Mr. Augustus wisely understood that it was his integrity and not that of the City Council that was at stake.
"I found I loved the job and I began to really see the great things I could do to help the city grow and prosper, but at the end of the day, I have to live with myself. I wanted my reputation and my integrity more than the job.''

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm will introduce a few new units to game's tried and tested roster. Normally you'd have to wait for the actual game/expansion for this, but why wait when there are mods?
An enterprising soul by the name of XenoX101 is working on a mod that, using both the details and images released so far of the new units, drops them into the existing StarCraft II multiplayer, making them playable on a custom map.
They won't look or play exactly the same as the finished product, but hey, they'll probably be close. Think of it as a beta!

Toronto Neighborhoods • Deer Park
Deer Park Pictures
Deer Park is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, centred on the intersection of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue. The name dates from 1837, when the Heath family purchased 40 acres (162,000 m²) of land on the northwest corner of Yonge and St. Clair (then the Third Concession Road) and named it Deer Park. By the 1850s the neighbourhood included a racetrack, a school, and a hotel at which patrons could feed deer which roamed the Heaths' property. The Heath property was subdivided in 1846 and was entirely sold off by 1874. Deer Park was annexed by the City of Toronto in 1908, and by the 1930s it had become an upper-middle class residential district, which it remains today. The intersection of Yonge and St. Clair is also the site of extensive nodal commercial development. Marked by a cluster of office buildings, the area also includes a number of restaurants, shops and services, within a mix of high-rise apartments, luxury condominiums, townhouses and single family homes.

OAKLAND — Firefighters put out a fire at two-story home in Oakland on Wednesday afternoon, an Oakland fire battalion chief said.
The one-alarm fire, which was reported at 1:10 p.m., started underneath a staircase outside the rear of a house in the 1000 block of 44th Avenue, Battalion Chief Melinda Drayton said.
The blaze, which spread to both floors of the home, was put out in about 20 minutes, she said.
Two rooms sustained minor fire damage, while other parts of the house had water damage, she said.
The American Red Cross was called to find temporary housing for those living at the home, she said.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, she said.

Around 80 percent of large European organisations are interested in using outsourced pay-as-you-go network services to support cloud deployments, according to research.
Market research firm Vanson Bourne questioned 400 senior IT decision makers at companies in the UK, Germany, France and The Netherlands, and found the vast majority had "an interest in a WAN connectivity model that adapts to peak and off-peak demands", otherwise known as "network-as-a-service".
Only 17 percent of those questioned ruled out such a model for their organisations.
Most interest in network-as-a-service was found in the finance and manufacturing sectors, although only 14 percent of those surveyed in the public sector were interested.
The survey found almost two-thirds (64 percent) of organisations were already outsourcing IT services.
Network integration firm Ciena, which sponsored the research, said the outsourcing trend is expected to impact the market for bandwidth-on-demand, as enterprises will look for a cost-effective connectivity model to support the bandwidth requirements of cloud-based IT services.

I have been meaning to review Masaan for so long. It had always lurked in the corner of my brain as a profoundly helmed beauty that calls for unparalleled attention. So I am writing this, to celebrate it so that those who haven't watched it already, should, and those who have, read it to experience its sagacity all over again.
Masaan beats Indian mainstream conventions hands down. A powerful flick that carves itself like a beautiful poem that elicits unmatched elation, a shattering pang and an aftermath that will steer your thoughts towards a rare contentment. The Varun Grover tale is reflective of all that he wears on his sleeves: a rare poetic depression, abstract lost love, and a constant struggle to be understood.
Direction of Masaan Movie
I was blown away by Masaan's direction. So beautifully shot, and edited that it left me wonder-struck. Right at the juncture it takes off, the movie edits itself in a gorgeous fashion to show us only the important bits, allowing us to adjust us to its stunning pace. With no diegesis to support the frames, (a wise decision) spectators are left guessing for imminent frames. Something that settles in quite quickly. It is after the first few events of each tale that the story begins to unfurl in a beautiful flower thus giving us a better insight.
Neeraj Ghaywan has become one of my favourite directors all of a sudden. His intensity on frames feels instinctive that makes his direction absolutely stunning. It is important for a director to understand how he feels for his work, to place his feelings out there in the open for the world to see. Frames of Neeraj induce that successfully.
Powerful Stories (Spoilers)
We have two primal parallel stories running for plot. The way they meet at a juncture lets us marvel at the concept of destiny.
The first one is beautifully taken up superbly by actress Richa Chadha who embodies Devi Pathak making her one of her own. She gets decimated by lowlife societal thinking; her fate constantly followed up by a corrupt policeman. It is hard not to feel sorry for her. Her laconic conversations will have you listen to her thoughts. She talks with her acting most of the times, and you could literally see her blood curdling inside her heart with every profane remark she finds.
Struggling for reconciliation for her mishap, which she tries to set right by visiting the family of the guy whom she loved, Devi Pathak finds herself at the ugly side of abomination. It is like a colossal rejection she ends up facing by life itself. For her character, Richa Chadda retains a constant depression in her eyes which I don't think any other actress could have done justice to.
The Second Story
The second story is spearheaded by Vicky Kaushal who plays Deepak Chaudhary brilliantly. In a backdrop of constant funerals, he is leading a life, rather trying to escape the detrimental. He is searching for rays of hope to escape the smothering ashes of pyres for good. The constant deleterious fire is setting ablaze his dreams and he can't seem to get out. Until one day he falls in love.
Shweta Tripathi's Shaalu Gupta is magnificently built out of thin air. You don't really see their love story coming, and then out of the blue it arrives. So stupendous! Also it is so marvelously played that you will fall in love with both of them instantly.
Whilst Deepak is aware that he is going nowhere, that love is for those who have a future, as he beholds those manacles of casteism, prejudice and stratum dangling ahead, he decides to end it all. But then realizes it's difficult to live without Shaalu and so he becomes more focused to get out of his conventional misery that constantly eats him from the inside.
Then that tragedy befalls that uproots his world, aftermath which nothing matters. The point he was living for disappears into nothingness. The ill-fated Deepak Chaudhary slithers into a gut-wrenching depression. Watching him like that will bring tears to your eyes. Watch out for that bit when he breaks down near the bank of Ganges.
Sanjay Mishra runs a parallel sub-plot as well with a predictable plot but his unique acting style uplifts it nevertheless. He plays Vidyadhar Pathak, father of Devi Pathak. His ill-fated abyss wherein a corrupt Police Inspector Mishra keeps gnawing at him constantly and mercilessly will melt your heart with empathy.
Leaving Threads Open
Masaan doesn't try to delve into poetic justice of the corrupt. India stays the land of corrupt in the eyes of Neeraj Ghaywan. That is one of the best decisions that Neeraj abides by. It is important to bring the injustice out in the open and not circle it to fruition by adjudication. If Neeraj had chosen to show the Inspector Mishra getting caught, it would have made us complacent. A feeling of insouciance towards corruption would have crept up on us unknowingly and we would have accepted the way of things, thinking – "Okay! So it all got sorted out in the end. But manifesting him getting away with it was intentional just to boil the viewers up.
So he makes sure. How the ignorant gets fooled by the bribing eyes of those in power. The abuse and misuse of power will have you brooding how despotism still lurks in a place that should be completely absolved of it. The land of God is run by vultures, who can do anything to fill their pockets. There is so much exploitation still prevalent in India that you will incessantly feel bad for the uneducated.
The sad thing is that we are living amidst it all. The corruption, that has diffused in our holy waters in profusion. We are drinking it everyday, accepting it and thriving with it. That is the saddest part of it all.
Screenplay and Lyrics
Screenplay goes above average at times. Songs like these:
"Tu kisi rail si guzarti hai, main kisi Pull sa thartharata hoon"
Help in driving Masaan's nail deeper. Its true metaphor lies in the embodiment of the inanimate. Image yourself as a quaking bridge, as that reckless train (her) passes over you, leaving you tottering craving for her affection. Then there is another beautiful line that is on the lines of:
"I am like a bubble, when I think about you I burst."
There are two other great songs imbibed in the frames of Masaan. 'Bhor' has been aptly placed to complement its love theme. Both Shaalu and Deepak do it justice. 'Mann Kasturi' ambles on its impactful lyrics as well.
The Future of Indian Cinema
Masaan is like rising from the ashes. Building yourself from scratch because nobody bats an eye when you fall, or understands you in a way you do yourself.
The movie silently brings home a whiff of change. We are at the center of it, and I can feel it. Now all we have to do is encourage movies like Masaan, give our riveting attention and love, and we might see the Indian Cinema metamorphose itself into a enclave.

Model: VAL863Brand: Vallejo
In stock
Vallejo Model Color - Metallic Gun Metal Grey 17ml #863
Modelcolor has been formulated with permanent pigments for fine arts; all colors are completely lightfast and opaque, (with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent colors, which are semi-opaque). A few metallic pigments (in an alcohol base) are included in the range, since these give a harder brilliance than the waterbased metallics.
The waterbased formula of Modelcolor has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol Modelcolor dries quickly to a matte, even and waterproof finish. Exact drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment, on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint layer - although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application.

text: HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has barred state appellate court staff members from performing private legal work for compensation amid reports of a federal investigation into legal fees paid to the wife of Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery. The high court's order issued Wednesday extends to all 404 staff employees of the state's appellate courts, a court spokesman said. The order did not mention McCaffery or his wife and chief administrative judicial assistant, Lise Rapaport, who is paid $75,395 by the state. McCaffery's statements of financial interest, which court officials make public upon request, report that eight law firms have paid referral fees to Rapaport on 19 occasions since 2003, The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported. McCaffery was not required to disclose the amounts of the fees in the financial disclosures, but a court filing last year revealed that one fee paid to Rapaport was $821,000, the Inquirer has reported. All of the law firms and their lawyers have made campaign donations to McCaffery, and some have argued cases in front of him, the Inquirer has reported. McCaffery, 63, did not respond to a telephone message at his Philadelphia office Thursday. Justices essentially fast-tracked the order, which enacts an amendment to an existing rule. Usually, a court-appointed appellate court committee of lawyers and judges issues a proposed rule for public comment before it is sent to the justices for consideration, a court spokesman said. Previously, such legal work required the approval of a supervising judge. It was not immediately clear whether the order will definitively bar the practice of referring people to law firms in exchange for a fee. Chief Justice Ronald Castille told the Inquirer on Wednesday that the majority of the seven-member court viewed the acceptance of referral fees as a form of practicing law. A lawyer for McCaffery and Rapaport has told the Inquirer that the legal fees she received to refer people to law firms did not constitute the practice of law or a conflict of interest for McCaffery. Castille told the Inquirer for a story published in March that the fees raise the potential for conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. The Inquirer reported Sunday that federal investigators have requested copies of McCaffery's statements of financial interest and information about the fees from the law firms involved. McCaffery, a Democrat and former Philadelphia municipal court judge, won a seat on the Superior Court in 2003 then the Supreme Court in 2007. Scrutiny of McCaffery follows the February conviction of another state Supreme Court justice, Joan Orie Melvin, on charges that she used her taxpayer-paid judicial staff and resources to help wage her campaigns for the seat.
