At the last Athletic Business show back in November, I attended an eye-opening session: "Legal Liability: Nutrition, Weight Management and Supplements." The seminar was given by JoAnn Eickhoff-Shemek, University of South Florida professor and coordinator of the undergraduate exercise science program; and Cynthia Sass, American Dietetic Association spokesperson and registered dietitian (RD). And, my goodness was it eye opening.
See, everyone in this business knows that when it comes to being healthy, diet and nutrition go hand in hand, so it seems natural for personal trainers and other certified fitness staff to speak with their clients about healthy eating habits and supplements. However, it's a very fine line between what's okay and what's too much. In fact, most of the professionals in the room during that seminar didn't know that, legally, it's not okay for their personal trainers to "prescribe" their clients specific meal plans or supplements. In the February issue, I'll explore that issue (scope of practice) and its legal ramifications.
Thankfully both Eickhoff-Shemek and Sass agreed to an interview and lent their professional knowledge and expertise to the piece. I also have a few calls in to some health clubs with RDs on staff (if you'd like to be contacted for the story feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com), and just yesterday our Art Director Jennifer Ray and I visited AYC Fitness Personal Fitness Training in Prairie Village, KS. Owner Greg Justice gave us the full tour of his two-story personal training studio and graciously answered my questions on everything from industry trends to sports-specific training to (the reason of my visit) supplements and scope of practice. Like most facilities, AYC does sell supplements, but Justice is careful to not cross the line between personal trainer and nutritionist. He gives general advice not specifics.
To learn more about this topic check out the February issue. Thanks for reading, and feel free to post or e-mail me your comments! -Jennipher

Sequel to Popular 'Cow Shake' Ad Promotes New Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts Made with M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies
Sep 5, 2006
'Cow Shake-Off' Features Dueling Guys, Cows, and Hit Single 'Milkshake' by Kelis
CARPINTERIA, Calif. – Sept. 5, 2006 – Cow shaking is back at Carl's Jr.®! In a follow-up to last fall's highly successful and popular "Cow Shake" television commercial for the chain's launch of Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts™, Carl's Jr. has re-enlisted the services of actor and cow shaker extraordinaire Kyle Dunnigan, this time pairing him off against a rival cow shaker to the hit tune "Milkshake" by Kelis. The sequel, titled "Cow Shake-Off," supports the launch of the newest Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts flavor made with M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies.
"We introduced our Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts last year with the original 'Cow Shake' ad, and it was so popular and drew such an overwhelming response from consumers that we knew we had to create a sequel," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. "In fact, when we started to get fan mail for the human star of the ad – and his cow, Freedom – we knew we were on to something well beyond what we experience with one of our typical ads. So, we doubled the fun for the sequel with two 'cow shakers,' and, of course, Kelis' hit song 'Milkshake,' provided the perfect soundtrack for the competition."
The new Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shake made with M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies is the chain's latest featured flavor. The new shake features real, hand-scooped vanilla ice cream, vanilla syrup, and real milk, blended to order with pieces of M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies and topped with whipped cream. A scoop of malt powder can be added for a classic malt taste. The shakes and malts sell for $2.99 at most company-owned restaurants, although pricing may vary.
"We believe our shakes and malts – made with real, hand-scooped ice cream and real milk – are the best in the fast-food world, so we always strive to find great ingredients that can make them even better," Haley said. "M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies absolutely fit the bill, and this new shake is another ideal complement to our line of charbroiled burgers."
The "Cow Shake-Off" commercial continues Carl's Jr.'s decade-long trend of producing edgy, irreverent advertising aimed at young, hungry guys. The ad was created by advertising agency of record Mendelsohn|Zien, mastermind of many iconic Carl's Jr. ads including the Paris Hilton "That's Hot" spot and the "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" campaign from the mid-90's. The commercial is currently airing in local restaurant markets and can be seen in the Now on TV section of www.carlsjr.com.

Another impressive 3-year-old has popped up outside the Triple Crown trail, even as final preparations were under way for the Preakness.
It was a relatively quiet weekend in U.S. racing. But the action was hot and heavy across the water -- especially with a lot of 3-year-olds trying to run their way into the upcoming Epsom Derby and Epsom Oaks.
And it was an interesting weekend for Rosie Napravnik -- on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Hop on board and let's start paddling.
Those wacky 3-year-olds
Could this be one of those years when the best 3-year-olds did not run in the Kentucky Derby? It sure looked like one of those was on display Saturday in the $200,000, Grade II Peter Pan at Belmont Park.
Freedom Child finished last in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, a race that produced Kentucky Derby fourth-place finisher Normandy Invasion. In that race, he was caught flat-footed at the start and never got into the mix. Saturday was a different story.
With Luis Saez up for trainer Tom Albertrani, Freedom Child went right to the front and never looked back. At the wire, he was out front by 13 1/4 lengths. Saint Vigeur was second, Go Get the Basil third and Abraham fourth.
Granted, the track was sloppy and the final time of 1:49.09 was unimpressive to say the least. And it was only his second win from six starts.
But it's worth noting that in his second career outing, on Nov. 4 at Aqueduct, Freedom Child led from the start in a 1-mile maiden event and was only caught in deep stretch to finish second to -- Orb. Finishing third that day was Revolutionary, who was second to Orb in the Kentucky Derby. Like Orb, Freedom Child is by Malibu Moon.
"The last time he had a bad break," Saez said. "I just put him in the race and he responded perfect. In the chute he wanted to run, so I let him run."
"I think we're going to the Belmont Stakes in about four weeks," added Terry Finley, president of West Point Thoroughbreds, part-owner of Freedom Child. "I hope Orb runs well in the Preakness and the whole world is watching for the Belmont Stakes. And I hope we upset the apple cart."
Meanwhile, preparations for Saturday's Preakness Stakes at Pimlico, the second jewel of the Triple Crown, continued despite wet weather across the major racing centers. Orb, the Kentucky Derby winner, seeks to become only the 12th Triple Crown winner and the first since Affirmed in 1978 by adding the Preakness and the June 8 Belmont Stakes to his Kentucky Derby win.
One of his likely opponents in the Preakness, Departing, also was a non-starter in the Kentucky Derby, instead detouring to Hawthorne Race Course where he was a convincing winner of the Grade III Illinois Derby. Departing worked a half mile in 50 2/5 seconds over a fast track at Churchill Downs Sunday morning. "He did enough to get the day off tomorrow," trainer Al Stall Jr. said. He is scheduled to ship to Pimlico Wednesday.
Orb jogged over a muddy Belmont Park track Saturday morning and was scheduled to work a half mile Monday. Goldencents, 17th in the Run for the Roses, stretched his legs in the slop Saturday at Pimlico. Sunland Derby winner Govenor (cq) Charlie waited until after the renovation break at Churchill Downs and the track was upgraded to "good" for his 1 1/2-mile gallop.
Itsmyluckyday, 15th in the Kentucky Derby, worked a half mile in 47 1/5 seconds between the third and fourth races Sunday afternoon at Monmouth Park. The work was rescheduled by special permission after weather forced cancellation of Saturday training hours. "He went awesome, but that's him," trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. said. "I couldn't ask for a better work."
Trainer Tom Amoss confirmed Saturday that Mylute, the fifth-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, will be a starter this coming weekend in the second jewel of the Triple Crown. That means jockey Rosie Napravnik, who started her riding career at Pimlico in 2005 at the age of 17, will be coming home for the race. "I promise you there is no other jockey who wants to win the Preakness more than me," Napravnik tweeted after the announcement. She will be the third female rider in the race, following Patti Cooksey, who finished sixth on Tajawa in 1985, and Andrea Seefeldt, who was seventh with Looming in 1994.
All three of trainer D. Wayne Lukas's Preakness starters -- Oxbow, Titletown Five and Will Take Charge -- had light work on the Churchill Downs strip and are slated to van to Baltimore on Tuesday.
Spice Sense, the fifth-place finisher in the Illinois Derby, Saturday was ruled out of the Preakness after a work at Arlington Park. "There's nothing wrong with him. He's just not quite seasoned enough yet and it's a tough race," trainer Greg Geier said. And Normandy Invasion, who finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby, will not run in the Preakness, trainer Chad Brown said Sunday.
Vyjack, who beat only Falling Sky in the Derby, remains on the fence as a potential Preakness runner.
Speaking of Napravnik's exciting weekend -- she also was named to ride in the "all girls" team in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup at Ascot on Aug. 10. The competition also features a "rest of the world" team to be headed by Gary Stevens. Those teams will challenge Team Europe and Team Great Britain and Ireland.
Hollywood Park
Charlie Em was first to the lead in the stretch run of Saturday's $100,000, Grade III Senorita Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and the odds-on favorite, Scarlet Strike, couldn't quite catch her. At the wire, Charlie Em held on to win by a head with Kyriaki third. Charlie Em, a British-bred daughter of Kheleyf out of the Pivotal mare Miss Meggy, got 1 mile on firm turf in 1:35.18 with Garrett Gomez in the irons. She spent her 2-year-old season in England and on the Continent, compiling a record of three wins from eight starts. The Senorita was her first U.S. start. "It took her a little while, but she came around in the last five weeks," winning trainer Paddy Gallagher said. "She got rid of her winter coat and started acting and training nice. She breezed a couple of times on the grass and seemed to go nice."
Alpha Bettor got the better of odds-on favorite Delegation to win Sundays' $200,000 (Canadian), Grade II Eclipse Stakes by a neck. James Street was only a head farther back in third. Alpha Bettor is a 5-year-old son of Alphabet Soup, who beat Cigar in the 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic at Woodbine. He finished Sunday's 1 1/16 miles on the all-weather track in 1:42.69. He had not been worse than fourth in six intervening starts since getting home seventh in last year's Eclipse Stakes. "I had a perfect trip. I had to wait a little longer than I wanted to, but it worked out for the better," said winning rider Justin Stein. "Everyone was asking their horses to run and I was able to save a little more horse and it made the difference."
Black Hornet led from the early going in Saturday's $150,000 (Canadian) Queenston Stakes for 3-year-olds and went on to post the upset win by a length over Jagger M. The favorite, Dynamic Sky, finished third. Black Hornet, a Pioneering gelding out of the Siphon mare Start Stinging, ran 7 furlongs on the all-weather track in 1:21.44, also with Stein riding. It was his second win from six starts. Dynamic Sky returned home after an abortive trip down the Triple Crown trail, finishing ninth in the Grade I Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland in his last U.S. start. "He's a really fast horse, speed oriented, and he has a lot of stamina as well and he used that to his advantage," Stein said. "He was really settled in the early stages of the race, and when I asked him to run on down the lane he really kicked for me."
Belmont Park
Percussion went to the lead right away in Sunday's $90,000 Albert the Great Stakes, was hooked by Fast Falcon in a long stretch duel and finally prevailed by a nose over that rival. It was another 13 3/4 lengths back to Birdrun in third. Percussion, a 5-year-old Bluegrass Cat gelding, ran 9 furlongs on a good main track in 1:49.45 with John Velazquez riding.
Mine Over Matter asserted himself in the stretch run in Thursday's $85,000 Corma Ray Stakes for New York-breds, kicking by the early leaders to a 1-length victory. Be Bullish was second and Fiddlers Afleet finished third. Mine Over Matter, a 6-year-old son of Mineshaft, got 7 furlongs on a muddy track in 1:22.99 with Joel Rosario up.
Miss Valentine up up in the final yards to win Friday's $90,000 No Reason Stakes for state-bred fillies and mares by a half length over Clear Passaj. Lady On the Run was third. Miss Valentine, a 5-year-old Afleet Alex mare, ran the mile on a good track in 1:37.53, also with Rosario in the irons.
Prairie Meadows
Wings of War came from well back in the field in Saturday's $75,000 John Wayne Stakes for Iowa-bred colts and geldings, went by the pacesetting, odds-on favorite, Ice Hockey, in the stretch and won by a half length over that rival. Cainam came from last of seven to take third, just another head in arrears. Wings of War, a 6-year-old Kafwain gelding, got 6 furlongs on a fast track in 1:10.67 with Shane Laviolette in the irons.
Ginger Added dueled with Prairie Cougar through the early furlongs of Friday's $70,000 Mamie Eisenhower Stakes for Iowa-bred distaffers, then got clear and won by 2 1/4 lengths over that rival. Queen Lily Kay was a non-threatening third. Ginger Added, a 5-year-old Added Edge mare, ran 6 furlongs on a fast track in 1:10.67 with Jake Barton up. She now has seven wins from 12 career starts, all at the Iowa track.
Hollywood Park
Let Em Shine went right to the front in Saturday's $70,000 Came Home Stakes for 3-year-olds and wasn't challenged, winning by 4 1/2 lengths over Broadway Empire. Treasury Bill finished third. Let Em Shine, a Songandaprayer colt, ran 7 furlongs on the all-weather track in 1:21.76 with Edwin Maldonado up.
Dhaamer stalked the pace in Sunday's $70,000 Round Table Stakes, took over the lead at the quarter pole and went on to win by 2 1/4 lengths, ridden out. Lime Rickey rallied to take second and Niagara Falls finished third. Dhaamer, a 6-year-old, Irish-bred Dubai Destination gelding, ran 1 1/2 miles over firm turf in 2:26.96 with Garrett Gomez in the irons.
Presque Isle Downs
Leinan shot clear in the stretch drive in Sunday's $100,000 Inaugural Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and won by 5 1/4 lengths over 40-1 long shot Ghost Flower. The odds-on favorite, Cor Cor, faded from the lead to finish third. Leinan, a daughter of Ready's Image, finished 6 furlongs on the all-weather track in 1:10.49 with Pablo Morales riding. Leinen picked up her third win from eight starts. Cor Cor came into the race with four wins and a second from five career starts.
Churchill Downs
Good Deed fought to the lead early in Saturday's $65,000 Unbridled Sidney Stakes for fillies and mares but once in front she quickly got clear and won by 4 1/4 lengths over Palazzo Babe. Formal Plan finished third. Good Deed, a 4-year-old Broken Vow filly, ran 5 furlongs on good turf in 57.37 seconds with Shaun Bridgmohan up.
Hastings Racecourse
Proud Victor stalked pacesetting favorite Bridge Jumper in Sunday's $50,000 (Canadian) Jim Coleman Province Stakes for 3-year-olds, too charge in the stretch run and won by 1 3/4 lengths over that rival. I'm Not Gray finished third. Proud Victor, a Storm Victory colt, ran 6 1/2 furlongs on a sloppy track in 1:17.09 with Fernando Perez in the irons.
I Think So, with Aaron Gryder up, was quickly on the lead in Saturday's $50,000 (Canadian) Ross McLeod Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and kicked loose in the lane to win by 5 lengths. Goldstryke Glory finished second and Silkworm filled out the triactor. I Think So, a daughter of Proud Citizen, ran 6 1/2 furlongs on a fast track in 1:16.21.
Lone Star Park
He Has Bling came three-wide into the lane in Saturday's $75,000 Texas Stallion Stakes for 3-year-old colts and geldings and quickly took charge, winning off by 2 1/4 lengths over Meme Jo. Breathethefire was a neck farther back in third. He Has Bling, a Too Much Bling gelding, got the mile on a fast track in 1:39.83 under Miguel Hernandez.
In the $75,000 filly division, Tastefullyxcessive opened a clear lead in the stretch, then had to hang on late to win by a neck over Joyful Hannah. Makeshift was a distant third. Tastefullyxcessive, a daughter of Early Flyer, finished in 1:39.47.
Lillie Abbie got the best of a four-way photo at the end of Saturday's $50,000Lane's End Stallion Scholarship for Texas-breds, winning by a nose over Lasting Bubbles. It was a head back to Mescaleress in third and another neck to Shannon' Phavorite in fourth. Lillie Abbie, a 5-year-old Uncle Abbie mare, ran 7 1/2 furlongs on firm turf in 1:30.60 with Junior Chacaltana up.
Monmouth Park
Pass You Bye Bye bypassed pacesetting Luckysdream late in Saturday's $75,000 Decathlon Stakes and went on to win by a length over that rival. Diski Dance was third and Travelin Man finished fourth as the even-money favorite. Pass You Bye Bye, a 4-year-old Rock Slide colt, ran 6 furlongs on a sloppy track in 1:09.34 with Julien Pimentel aboard.
Emerald Downs
E Z Kitty prompted the pace in Sunday's $50,000 Hastings Handicap for fillies and mares, then went by and easily won off by 2 lengths. Exclusive Diva finished second and early leader Plus One salvaged show money. E Z Kitty, is a 5-year-old mare by He's Tops. With Anne Sanguinetti up, she ran 6 furlongs on a fast track in 1:08.26.
Meanwhile, across the oceans:
Epsom Derby preps
With the favorite, Dawn Approach, safely in his stall with the 2,000 Guineas loot tucked under a blanket, the scramble continues among potential opponents for the June 1 Epsom Derby.
Ruler of the World raced with his three rivals into the straight in Thursday's Group 3 Chester Vase, easily kicked clear when asked by jockey Ryan Moore and cruised home a 6-length winner. The early leader, Mr. Impatience, held second and Havana Beat managed to beat one -- Feel Like Dancing. Ruler of the World, a Galileo colt conditioned by Aidan O'Brien, won for the second time in two trips to the track, getting 1 mile, 4 1/2 furlongs in 2:40.29 over good going. The last colt to win both the Chester Vase and the Epsom Oaks was the immortal Shergar in 1981.
As usual, O'Brien has no shortage of good horseflesh in his care and demonstrated that again Friday as he sent out Magician to the easiest of wins in the Group 3 Dee Stakes at Chester. Another Galileo product and also with Moore in the irons, Magician made his four rivals disappear in the final furlong, winning off by 4 lengths. Contributer was second and Glacial Age finished third. The 1 mile, 2 1/2 furlongs went in 2:12.96 over turf rated good to soft. Magician was making his first start of the year after running inconsistently as a 2-year-old, winning just once in four starts.
Yet another Galileo product from the O'Brien barn won Sunday's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown, albeit in a less scintillating fashion than might have been expected. Battle of Marengo, with Joseph O'Brien, did what was needed to best a trio of rivals, winning by 1 3/4 lengths over Loch Garman. The 1 1/4 miles over yielding ground went in 2:07.79.
Style Vendome had the best punch in the final furlong of Sunday's Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Poulaines at Longchamp in Paris, besting Dastarhon by a neck and Intello by another head. Richard Hannon's raiding party of Havana Gold and Olympic Glory finished fifth and 11th, respectively, while O'Brien's Irish force of Gale Force Ten and Flying the Flag settled for fourth and ninth. Style Vendome, an Anabaa colt, completed the mile over good going in 1:34.68 and won for the fifth straight time. Trainer Christophe Clement said he is eyeing the French Derby and the St. James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot as possible next stop for his winner.
Epsom Oaks preps
It's "all hail" Secret Gesture. The filly was the easiest of winners Saturday in Lingfield's Oaks Trial -- as a pelting rain turned to hail. After racing in touch with the leaders under Jim Crowley, the Galileo filly hit another gear a furlong out and was 10 lengths in front at the finish. Miss You Too was the best of the rest with Whippy Cream third. It was Secret Gesture's first win after a second-place showing at Leicester in her first start. "I'm thrilled she did it the way she did it," trainer Ralph Beckett said. "Better than we'd hoped." The filly's Oaks odds dropped faster than a falling hailstone with British bookmakers.
In Sunday's Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Flotilla got to the front in the late going and won by a neck over Esoterique. Tasaday was third and Hannon's invader, Zurigha, was along for fourth. Flotilla, a daughter of Mizzen Mast, ran 1 mile on good ground in 1:34.77.
And at Leopardstown, Just Pretending, a Giant's Causeway filly benefitting from the O'Brien-O'Brien connection, won Sunday's 1,000 Guineas Trial by a neck over Hint of a Tint.
Verxina seized the lead inside the final furlong in Sunday's Group 1 Victoria Mile and held off Whale Capture in the final yards to win by a nose. Meine Isabel finished third. Verxina, a 4-year-old Deep Impact filly, had posted five straight second-place finishes last year, four of them behind Gentildonna. She then was sixth in her 2013 debut in a race won by Orfevre. She finished Sunday's test in 1:32.4 over firm going.
Novelist made his 2013 debut a winning one in at Baden Baden in Sunday's Group 2 Grosser Preis der Badischen Unternehmer. After racing last of eight, the 4-year-old Monsun colt advanced while turning into the straight, surged to the lead with 2 furlongs to run and won a battle to the wire by a head over Waldpark. Technokrat finished third. Girolamo, coming back from a trip to Dubai, finished fourth. Novelist now has six wins from eight starts with his only losses coming in the Group 1 Deutches Derby and the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden.
Vedelago was all out to get to the leaders inside 100 yards in Sunday's Group 1 Premio Presidente Della Repubblica at Capannelle and won by a half length over Orpello. Pattaya was another head back in third. Vedelago, a 4-year-old Red Clubs colt, was making his first start in nearly a near and ran his record to four wins from six starts. He finished 1 1/4 miles on good turf in 2:01.50.

According to a May 13, 2006, BBC News article by Steve Kingstone out of Sao Paulo, Brazil, titled " 'Brazilian Stonehenge' discovered ", Brazilian archaeologists have found a large megalithic site in Amapa, Brazil. The site consists of 127 megaliths. Archaeologists see a relation to astronomy and the marking of the Winter Solstice, which is probably true.
In addition, however, I would like to call attention to the ancient survey lines that I have drawn for South America at
As you can see there clearly, the lowest left most southerly survey line in South America, which points NE, if extended, would hit Amapa. This line appears to run from Nazca to Machupicchu to Amapa.
Although I do not yet have the precise coordinates for the megaliths found, I would predict here that the Amapa megaliths are thus part of the survey by astronomy that I have discovered and that I describe in my book, Stars Stones and Scholars and about which I post here regularly at the LexiLine Newsletter.

I've sort of fallen in love with Zoya's Fleck Effects, three polish topcoats that give a glass fleck-opal effect over any nail polish. They give a holographic flake with mylar suspended in a very sheer jelly. They dry beautifully–they leave a smooth finish (you're free to add a shine topcoat over them if you like). Unlike glitters, they feel smooth to the touch and are easy to remove. I can't stop staring at my nails when I wear them. They're sold here on Zoya's website, and at local stores for $8 each.
There are three colors–First Maisie is a gorgeous blue. It gives a green-blue iridescent effect:
Second, Opal based on green:
Last, Chloe for pink tones:
Zoya Fleck Effects are true topcoats–by themselves, they are sheer with a bit of fleck. They have little drama all alone like that, and they are almost entirely transparent:
Here are the three topcoats over Chanel Black Satin–on the far left, I've used two coats of Maisie, and on the rest of the fingers of single coat of Maisie, Chloe and Opal.
Here are some other combinations. First, Nars Zulu (a deep amazonian green) topped with one coat of Zoya Opal:
Here is Rescue Beauty Lounge's Au Chocolat (a deep red with chocolate undertones) topped with one coat of Zoya Chloe, and then Lancome's limited edition Indigo Paris (a medium navy with shimmer) topped with one coat of Zoya Opal:
I love the transformative quality of these. They really come alive in the light. Here's one last picture, with the same combinations as above and adding a pure white (Essie Marshmallow) topped with one coat of Zoya Chloe:
I've been looking for a pretty multishimmer fleck effect, and couldn't believe my luck with these. They are very easy to use–just add over any other color and wait for the magic. Love.
Zoya sent these polishes to Cafe Makeup without charge for consideration and review.


text: A Day in the Life of a Marine Mammal Specialist A career as a marine mammal specialist has a lot of perks, but our specialists also work really hard. Our specialists work on a staggered schedule with our dolphins. The Aquarium has 13 specialists who team up with groups of dolphins for different daily activities. The early shift of marine mammal specialists begins the day at 6:30 a.m., bucketing out the dolphins' food for the day. Before they're finished, the second shift will be busy working with the dolphins. And because dolphins can eat more than 20 pounds of fish per day, much of our specialists' days is spent on food preparation and cleaning! In addition to their already-packed daily schedule, specialists also each have a project they are in charge of, such as: repairing wet suits, ordering fish and supplies, diving to clean pools, running the internship and volunteer programs, safety, filing, and entering records into the computers. How to Become a Marine Mammal Specialist Interested in learning what it takes to become a marine mammal specialists? It's never too early to lay the foundation for your career. Working as a marine mammal specialist is a position that often seems glamorous to outsiders, but patience, skill, and a unique understanding of animal behavior are required. SCUBA certification and public speaking skills are also necessary. To become a marine mammal specialist, we recommend you get a degree in psychology, biology, or zoology. Additionally, most of our specialists started out by gaining hands-on experience through internships or volunteer programs, either at the National Aquarium or at other facilities. Above all, consider volunteering or working where you can get first-hand experience with animals, study hard in school, and keep a positive attitude! Back to the Top

Accounting Research BULLETINS Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1943 by American Institute of Accountants December, 7942 No. 19 Accounting Under Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Contracts THIS BULLETIN deals with accounting problems arising under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, hereinafter referred to as CPFF contracts.1 SUMMARY STATEMENT (1) Fees under CPFF contracts may be credited to income on the basis of such measurement of partial performance as will reflect rea-sonably assured realization. One generally acceptable basis is delivery of completed articles. The fees may also be accrued as they are billable, under the terms of the agreement, unless such accrual is not reasonably related to the proportionate performance of the aggregate work or serv-ices to be performed by the contractor from inception to completion. (2) Where CPFF contracts involve the manufacture and delivery of products, the aggregate amount of reimbursable costs and fee is ordi-narily included in appropriate sales or other revenue accounts. Where such contracts involve only services, or services and the supplemental erection of facilities, only the fee should ordinarily be included in rev-enues. (3) Unbilled costs and fee under such contracts are ordinarily re-ceivables rather than advances or inventory, but should preferably be shown separately from billed accounts receivable. (4) Offsetting of government advances on CPFF contracts against amounts due from the government on such contracts is permissible only to the extent that such items may under the terms of the agreement be offset in settlement, but a more desirable procedure in most cases will be to offset the advance against the receivable only if that is the treatment anticipated in the normal course of business transactions under the contract. In case of offset, the amounts offset should be adequately disclosed. 1The discussion herein is subject to such modification as may be required under censorship rules. See, for instance, statement of War Department, Bureau of Public Relations, October 28, 1942. 155

Experts say Gingrich moon base dreams not lunacy
(AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wants to create a lunar colony that he says could become a U.S. state. There's his grand research plan to figure out what makes the human brain tick. And he's warned about electromagnetic pulse attacks leaving America without electricity.
To some people, these ideas sound like science fiction. But mostly they are not.
Several science policy experts say the former House speaker's ideas are based in mainstream science. But somehow, Gingrich manages to make them sound way out there, taking them first a small step and then a giant leap further than where other politicians have gone.
Gingrich's promise that "by the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon" got amped up in a recent debate in Florida, which lost thousands of jobs with the end of the space shuttle program. By then, the lunar base had become a colony and even a potential state, and his moon ideas were ridiculed by rival Mitt Romney.
Returning to the moon and building an outpost there is not new. Until three years ago, it was U.S. policy and billions of dollars were spent on that idea.
Staying on the moon dates at least to 1969, when a government committee recommended that NASA first build a winged, reusable space shuttle followed by a space station and then a moon outpost. In 1989, President George H.W. Bush proposed going to the moon and staying there.
Sixteen years later, in 2005, his son, President George W. Bush, proposed a similar lunar outpost, phased out the space shuttle program and spent more than $9 billion designing a return to the moon program.
George Washington University space policy director Scott Pace, who was NASA's associate administrator in the second Bush administration and is a Romney supporter, said the 2020 lunar base date Gingrich mentioned was feasible when it was proposed in 2005.
But it is no longer, felled by funding cuts and President Barack Obama's decision to cancel the program. Pace said it would be hard to figure out when NASA could get back to the moon, but that such a return is doable.
What kept killing return-to-the moon plans were the costs, starting in 1969. The proposal died 20 years later when the price tag was released: more than $700 billion in current dollars. The second President Bush's plans started running into problems due to insufficient funding. After a special commission said those plans were not sustainable, Obama cancelled the return-to-the-moon program. Instead, he ordered NASA to aim astronauts toward an asteroid and eventually Mars, something many space experts say is even more ambitious.
"Some of you may like it and you may dislike it, but I gave the boldest explanation of going into space since John F. Kennedy in 1961," Gingrich said this week in Florida. "I believe in an America of big ideas and big solutions. I believe if we unleash the American people we will rebuild the American dream."
In Florida, nearly all the Republican presidential candidates promoted private companies sending astronauts into space. Several companies are building private spaceships. Commercial space companies taking over the job of getting Americans into low Earth orbit is a cornerstone of the Obama space plan. But, again, money has been an issue.
For example, NASA received $406 million in its current budget for private space programs. Obama had asked Congress for $805 million.
Neal Lane, former head of the National Science Foundation and White House science adviser during the Clinton administration, said Gingrich's proposals aren't crazy, although he may disagree with some of them. Gingrich's ideas and actions are "very pro-science," said Lane, who credited Gingrich with protecting federal science research from budget cuts in the 1990s.
"He's on the edge of mainstream thinking about big science. Except for the idea of establishing a colony on the moon, it's not over the edge," added Syracuse University science policy professor Henry Lambright.
In Iowa, Gingrich pushed a "brain science" initiative that advocates spending more private and federal money to map the human brain to help fight and cure Alzheimer's disease. He said the idea was based on the experience of watching his late mother's transformation from a happy person with friends to living in a long-term care facility suffering from bipolar disease, depression and physical ailments.
Gingrich said his "whole emphasis on brain science" is based on his mother's depression and mental illnesses. Discussing the issue in Iowa, he wiped away a tear, saying: "It's not a theory. It's in fact, my mother."
The idea of mapping the brain to figure out how it works is a traditional scientific approach to a difficult problem. Scientists have tried to conquer disease by mapping the human genome and figuring out the basic biology of cancer, said Arizona State University science policy professor Dan Sarewitz. The trouble is that, in the past, it hasn't paid off as promised, he said.
Gingrich also has raised eyebrows with his dire warnings about the threat of electromagnetic pulses. The fear being that a nuclear bomb detonated hundreds of miles above America could knock out the country's electricity for a long time. In 2009, Gingrich said it "may be the greatest threat we face ... We would in fact lose our civilization in a matter of seconds."
Paul Fischbeck, a professor of engineering and risk at Carnegie Mellon University, said the threat has existed for about a half a century and is real. But "it's getting more likely and more dangerous" as America becomes more electronic-dependent and other countries advance in technology, he said.
Still, it's space where Gingrich dreams biggest and raises the most eyebrows.
Much of the criticism of his space plans, especially in the media, have been unfair, said Alan Stern, NASA's space sciences chief during George W. Bush's administration. He said Gingrich is just thinking big, like a pioneer.
"That's how `Star Trek' begins," said Stern, vice president of the Southwest Research Institute and director of the Florida Space Institute. "But when a government guy or politician talks that way, they just get clobbered about being unrealistic and that's unfortunate."

I got sent an email recently asking how I went about syndicating my blog on some of the popular SQL Server sites. It is a very straight forward process that involves the sites that I syndicate on making use of my RSS feed. As someone took the time to send me an email to ask the question, I thought that there might be others out there who would appreciate knowing this stuff too so I thought I'd put together a short post.
For those of you that don't know, my blog (www.gethynellis.com) is syndicated over at www.sqlserevrcentral.com (SSC) and www.sqlserverpedia.com (SSP). Both these site will happily syndicate your blog and give you attribution for your work. For those of you who do blog and would be interested, this is how it works on each of these sites:
- www.sqlservercentral.com The great thing about SCC is that you can either use their blog platform to host your blog or you can syndicated you content there and maintain a separate blog all of your own. I chose the later mainly for the flexibility and control I get with running my own domain and site. So how did I go about setting it up? I sent the webmaster (Steve Jones Blog|@Way0utwest) over at SSC and email that included a link to my site's main RSS and Steve pretty much did the rest.
- www.sqlserverpedia.com I like SSP too, and I subscribe to all the syndicated blogs over there. Again to get syndicated there is very simple process. There is slightly more to their syndication process though. This is because they only want SQL/Databases related posts and there is some (Not Many!) restrictions about things you can write about…The main one that I can remember, is writing around/endorsing third party products. A result of this and because they know you may not always want to write about SQL Server related posts on your blog they ask you set up a dedicated feed (really simple process) for their site's syndication and every time you publish a post that you want syndicated on SQLServerpedia.com you include that post your SSP syndication tag. Aside from that though it's very straight forward, you provide a bit of information about yourself, a photograph for the contributors page and the RSS feed for your syndicated tag and you are away. For full instructions check out this link http://www.sqlserverpedia.com/wiki/Syndicate_Your_SQL_Server_Blog
Why would I syndicate my content? What are the Advantages of Syndication?
- Exposure – Although some blogging site out there suggest the 'write it and they will come' approach, which is true to a certain degree, those same 'blogging' blogs suggest you write about something you love and something that is a niche market , well if you have chosen SQL Server as the main topic of your blog then you have a niche market and you probably have a career as a data professional. You also have a large target audience that you can instantly gain exposure too by being syndicated on these sites. For example SSC has over 1.2 million registered users. It's a very good way to kick start your blog and raise awareness about yourself and your blog.
- More Feedback – As these syndicated sites already have a large visitor base you will find that people leave comments on your blog posts a lot quicker than before syndication.
- Your work will be scrutinised by more people – I have included this is both advantages and disadvantage. Although in reality, at least for me, it is very much more an advantage I can appreciate why some people may be put off by potential criticism.
- Networking - You will meet many more of your fellow SQL Server bloggers, this means that you will build relationships and improve your profile in the community more quickly and you are more likely to build a network of SQL Server people in a shorter period of time.
- League Table SSC has a league table which ranks its top 10 bloggers over the last 30 days. The league is based on the frequency of you posts and how many comments you receive. I spent a few months over the last year in the top 10 bloggers chart, but yet to make it to number one. To me, this table serves two purposes, it acts as a measure of who is blogging the most frequently and it is also a good measure of who is raising topics that generates debate. I have seen people on this list who have posted once a day for 30 days but have received as little as two comments, and I have seen people who may have only posted once a week for the last month but have over 60 comments. The frequency of your writing and the interest in what you write is combined together to give your league placing. If you do make this list though you will quickly see you profile grow as you and your name and your blog will be on show on a prime location on a very popular well read site.
- Awards – As my regular reader will already know Last year SSP held it inaugural annual blogging awards. I was nominated in two categories and I somehow managed to win the New to "SQLServerpedia" award. You can read more about that here.
All for a minimal effort.
Are there any Disadvantages of Syndication
I struggled really to find disadvantages but I guess if I was being really picky I would say
- One of the sites has their own comment section, so you could end up with comments on the same post in two different places (See, I said it wasn't much)
- Your work will be more scrutinised – I mentioned earlier that this to me is major advantage, I can understand though that people may be put off by the potential extra criticism. But I think it's important to grow a thick skin, get involved in the debate and if you do write something that is incorrect, allow people to point that out to you and learn from it. In the long run this will have huge benefits to you, and you can learn a great deal from the experience.
Can you think of any other advantages or disadvantages? Do you syndicate in other places? Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know.

Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect 2
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . . . 15 NEXT
This week, Zero Punctuation reviews Mass Effect 2.
Nigger stole your first!
Great, bought the game but have not played it yet due to my computer braking.
nice one.
Nice review, liked the ide for ME3 and i have tried EVE, its worse that Too Human
I got 404 as well
excellent review
Heh. Not bad. Not particularly hilarious, but he makes some good points. But really, no more surface exploration? Aww.
Snipers don't need teammates. In fact, they have this disgusting tendency to GIVE YOUR POSITION AWAY. I'm more just impressed that you had the patience to be a sniper in that game.
Strangely unscathing review there.
I never really get why Yahtzee complains about games being too easy when there are multiple difficulty settings.
He should try not issuing commands to the AI on Insanity and see how far he gets...
not to mention Mordin Solaris sounds ALOT like Yahtzee.
Would love to see his ideas in the sequel.
I think it's an awesome game. But then again, ZP wouldn't be funny if he praised games.
Wow, people really refuse to give resource mining a break, don't they? Not that I'm surprised Yahtzee would spend 80% of the review complaining about something you can just skip altogether. The game must've been pretty awesome if that's the best he's got! </fanboy rant>
In all seriousness, solid video as always. A little disappointed he didn't like it more, but obviously I can't say I'm surprised. I do like how he tried to make the fact that BioWare are known for good writing sound like a negative (and failed miserably).
I like Singapore Slings too.
*sigh* I really need to play this game
Nothing about how meh the ending was? I know it's the middle story, but ME1 was more satisfactory in that regard.
I was sort of expecting a mention about the ending ripping of Anachronox, Contra and Elder Scrolls, but this was enjoyable.
Oh man... I haevn't laughed that hard from a ZP in a good long while.
I found it rather lacking in insults. Which means yahtzee loved it.
yay he gave bioware props for thier writing. thats alwasy my favorite part of thier games.
Hmm, flying around on jet packs... Giant wolves that shoot lasers.... *opens game maker*
Oh lord... he's got a twitter account. IS THERE NO GOD!?!
You know yahtzee could be the best game designer that idea he had at the end sounds really good, Damit i want it now.
"Hay! BioWare down hear!!!!!!!!!!!" [point point] "Good ideas"
It's Laser cat, not dogs.
Intresting, seems you liked it as a game, just the mining bit, which i agree with SOOOOOO much. I also have to agree with the jetpacks idea, it is the future, why havnt we seen them yet in ME?!
in the next game should have space wolves who shoot laser out of their mouths-Yathzee
Good ol mister Gobblecoqhe, hadnt heard anything from that guy in a while. What happened to him anyway?
Heh, lots of references to past ZP's in this 1. Can you name them all?
I totally agree. This games gameplay isn't that good though everything else is (kinda).
Now that was the video I was expecting!
He dedicated way too much of the review to the mining issue, but I can't say he is wrong. Mining in the game got boring for me after three hours, to the point where I put on my MP3 so I wouldn't fall asleep doing it. Great idea for the third part by the way, and since Bioware is listening I don't discard the possibility of exploring the planets using that jetpack he mentions XD I am not sure about the wolfs though.
Nicely done. Had a feeling that the resource management, combat and back-from-the-dead bits would all get their comeuppance as they have in every single review ever written ever for this game, but Yahtzee of course pulls it off with that curiously brilliant balance of keen observation and rampant profanity.
Also, "savior of the universe"? Wasn't there a review on these forums of the old Flash Gordon movie that included the song to which he's referring?
Naaah. I must be thinking of something else.
Don't bring back the planet exploration!
Good writing? So did you miss the humongous plot holes and failed characterization of the Reapers?

A recent study shows that your members might be just a phone call or two away from getting back into your club. The study, conducted by Stanford University, showed that people who received one phone call about every three weeks exercised more than those who did not.
The study divided participants into three groups. One group received a call from a person, the second group received an automated call and the third group received no calls. The calls (both automated and human) inquired about the level of the person's exercise during the preceding weeks and encouraged them to continue with their exercise.
After 12 months of this, the group that received the call from a human increased their exercise level the most (by 100 minutes) with the group receiving the automated call coming in second (doubling their minutes). The group that received no calls still increased their minutes exercised, but only by 28 percent.
Kind of makes you wonder if it might not be worth your time and money to have someone check in on members on a regular basis—or at least have an automated system offer an encouraging word.

Among the team of superheroes, his power was the least envied. As The Human Sponge, he had the ability to absorb the emotions of people nearby and make them his own - to the point of actually forgetting that what he was feeling did not originate with him. While his fellow crime fighters fought evil by hurling bolts of lightning or with amazing displays of strength, The Human Sponge could only sit next to the villain o' the day and soak up his festering rage. Needless to say, when the weary band of caped crusaders returned to their secret lair, Sponge was not very good company. There were even private discussions of replacing him with Paper Towel Man (who had the same super power, but was disposable). Thankfully, the problem was solved when Jesus joined the team. From that day on, The Human Sponge was just a sweetie... except around money-lenders. Then he could be kind of a dick.

Just a quick Easter morning post to show off a few flowers that are some of my favorites in the garden each spring.
Some are from my garden and one or two are from other gardens here in Nashville that I look forward to seeing every year.
This Lenten rose is from the Golden Sunrise strain from Ernie and Marietta O'Byrne at Northwest Garden Nursery near Portland, Oregon. Introduced to the gardening public by my friend Dan Heims at Terra Nova Nurseries, they are now widely distributed by Monrovia Nursery. This is but one in the series, which includes a variety of spectacular colors and forms, including some of the best doubles on the market. Some have been a little slow to establish in my garden, but once they get going, they are gorgeous!
I look forward to this moment in Nashville every spring--a beautiful yard in an older neighborhood that bursts into a lavender haze each February with a carpet of Crocus tommasinianus. This display covers close to an acre and if I had to guess has been re-seeding and spreading itself around the property since at least the 1940's and possibly as early as the 1930's.
A few years ago I was able to buy one small plant of the rare, double-flowering bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex'. It is painfully slow to multiply--three years old and still only one bloom this year, but it is a sight to behold in its fleeting moment of beauty.
This unusual trillium is a hybrid I picked up a few years ago at a local garden center--probably a naturally occurring cross between Trillium sulcatum and Trillium flexipes. It has been spectacular in the garden here.
I've been in an epimedium phase, of late, and Epimedium pauciflorum is one of my favorites. It is dainty and delicate and may need a little coddling to get it started, but it is well worth the effort.
I hope your gardens are coming to life and that you have a few treasures like these to enjoy each spring! Happy Gardening and I'll have another update soon!

That's me. All done. Sold all three cars and my vast collection of parts. Many thanks for the last 5 years.
Have not posted for a long time, mainly due to an extended period overseas. The red VR6 is still in hibernation and the silver VR6 is in bits awaiting a re-spray.
Anyway, back in UK for a while, so I decided to buy a run-around pending completion of the Silver VR6 (getting painted soon) and ended up with a third Corrado, a 1996 8v in Midnight Blue with full leather interior.

I'm after a bit of feedback on an issue I have.
I have a 1996 vr6 storm in blue and it has failed it's mot. At the moment I can't afford (the money or time) to mot it (due to my wedding my wife's birthday christmas my the purchase of my new car) and am considering trying to sell it with no mot. The car is tidy and has 126k on the clock. It runs and drives fantastic and has been my daily runner for nearly 3 years. It has been LPG converted so I could afford to keep
Well it's been slow so far, as I have had a few things hold me up. The loom won't work (Mk4 stuff) so I've had to start sourcing Mk5 electrics which as you can imagine isn't easy to find.
Engine is ready to come out and the new engine is ready to go in, so all in all making good progress.
Some pics.

NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH PORTLAND SAINT LOUIS SALT LAKE CITY SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE TULSA WATERTOWN HAVANA LONDON PARIS SHANGHAI VOL. IV NEW YORK, AUGUST 15, 1921 No. 8 Why Not Lessen the Evils of Present Taxation? By ELIJAH W. SELLS TA X E S we have eternally with us. They are the price we pay for civilization, organization, government. They began under the regime of Moses, starting with a ten per cent. income tax called "tithes." Taxation in some form has never left the earth since that time. While much has been written and said upon the subject of taxation and possible revision, it is still far from settled and there is apparently room for discussion. Public accountants are peculiarly fitted to pass judgment on the subject of taxation. They touch every phase and problem of business in some way and are also familiar with the affairs of government, federal, state and municipal. They perceive, at close range, the effect of taxation on business and the great disturbance which it causes. Better than any other class do they know the superior excellence, economy and efficiency of the management of business as compared with that of government and the far-reaching meritorious effect of business upon all interests. The practice of my own firm has taken us during the past year into the affairs of several thousand concerns, and much of our work has involved tax problems from so many angles that it has forced on us conclusions as to present methods and needs. This is typical of all practicing public accountants. To run the government of a nation, state or city requires money, and the bulk of that money can come only through taxation. The greater the amount of funds required the greater the amount that must be furnished by the people. This we accept as self-evident, natural, inevitable. But we have a right to demand, and a duty to make our demand vigorous and insistent, that the basis of that taxation be wisely considered, fair and equitable, aimed at no one class, the tax widely distributed, and arranged so that it fulfils its purpose with the minimum disturbance of business and the welfare of the individual. The present federal income tax with its surtax for individuals and its excess profits tax for corporations, is flagrantly unfair, inequitable and fulfils its purpose with the maximum disturbance of business and the welfare of the individual. During the war loyal citizens faced it cheerfully, accepting its discrimination and injustice as a minor matter in the dark shadows of a world tragedy. They took it as but another of the necessary evils of war. But they are now rightly and insistently registering their protest against its continuance, with its bad features unchanged, as

How the Washington Post Covers Education
Yesterday, the president proposed yet another big increase in federal education spending. The Washington Post quoted "senior White House officials" as saying that the spending would boost "the nation's long‐term economic health."
I sent the story's authors a blog post laying out the evidence that higher government spending hasn't raised student achievement, and that if you don't boost achievement, you don't accelerate economic growth.
Today, there is an updated version of the original WaPo story. It no longer mentions the stated goal of the spending increase. It doesn't mention that boosting gov't spending has failed to raise achievement, and so will fail to help the economy.
But it does cite a single non‐government source for comment on the president's plan: the Committee for Education Funding. The Committee is described by the Post as "prominent education advocates," and as an organization that "represents dozens of education groups."
Here's how the CEF itself measures its accomplishments: "The… Committee [has] been very successful in championing the cause of increasing federal educational investment. Through strong advocacy… [it has] won bipartisan support for over $100 billion in increased federal education investment over the last five years." Its members, if you haven't guessed already, include virtually every public school employee organization you can name, including, of course, the national teachers unions.
That's the source, the one source, the Washington Post asked to weigh in on a new federal education spending gambit.
I asked the author of the revised version of the story to comment for this blog post. At the time of this writing, I've received no response.

Tangerine Tango may be Pantone's official color of 2012, but we've been seeing a whole lot of neon yellow hitting runways, Red Carpets and street style lately. Here's how to incorporate this "it" summer color into your Indian wardrobe
A color as punchy as highlighter yellow is impossible to ignore, so it's no surprise that the neon hue received a ton of attention during Spring 2012 runway shows. Designers from Oscar de la Renta to Jason Wu took a bold step into 1980s territory by featuring bright yellow in their spring collections. One of the first neon yellow looks we can remember spotting is this strapless ball gown from Jason Wu's Spring 2012 RTW collection, which is devoid of all embellishments save a simple black bow.
Which other designers have neon yellow looks in their 2012 collections? Two of our favorites, Proenza Schouler and Diane von Furstenberg, put a futuristic spin on the trend by mixing the highlighter hue with solid and print panels. One standout for us is this tailored, figure-flattering sheath dress with black side panels, chic buttons and a swatch of turquoise zebra print fabric that really ups the dress' visual interest.
This runway trend has also transitioned to Hollywood, with high-profile celebs like Jennifer Lopez (pictured in Michael Kors) wearing neon yellow outfits on TV and out on the town.
And at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival last week, Freida Pinto rocked a neon yellow Atelier Versace dress, which was a gutsy look not just because of the bright color, but because of the thigh-high slit! If you're looking for a lacy neon dress reminiscent of Freida Pinto's, this Neon Lace Flippy Dress is affordable, cute, and a perfect anytime look.
If you're an Indian fashionista looking to punch up your saree wardrobe, neon yellow is a fabulous way to display your bold personality. Not only does neon yellow look gorgeous on Indian skin tones, but it also is perpetually in vogue in India! If you've ever visited Rajasthan, you'll notice that bright, bold colors are the norm in Indian street wear.
This Neon Green Cotton and Silk Saree by Neeru Kumar features gorgeous Zari work and an old-meets-new quality that makes it ideal for dressing up or wearing as is. And like the Jason Wu gown or Jennifer Lopez's Michael Kors dress, this saree relies on color, not embellishments, to make a statement.
For a neon saree that features color blocking (also in for Summer 2012!), Luxemi has this gorgeous Printed Crepe Silk Saree by Satya Paul. This luscious saree has tropical summer vacation written all over it. Our favorite part? How soft this silk feels against your skin.
And to finish off your neon yellow look, always go for bright lipstick. Luxemi's favorite shade of the moment? Heat Wave by Nars.
There's no wrong way to wear neon yellow for Summer 2012. Whether you're rocking a Jason Wu ball gown or a Luxemi saree, you'll be sure to command attention in this punchy summer hue.

Infosec analysts back away from 'Feds attacked Tor' theory
Those IP addresses we said belong to the NSA? We were probably wrong
When Tor admitted early this week that some nodes on the network had suddenly and inexplicably gone dark, thanks in part to a malware attack, theories abounded as to just what was going on and why.
That the FBI arrested a man suspected of using Tor to host child pornography distribution services further fuelled speculation that perhaps US authorities had launched an attack on Tor.
Some infosec specialists quickly analysed the malware and suggested it was controlled by an entity using IP addresses associated with defence contractor Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and/or the NSA. One and one were promptly put together to suggest three elements explaining the Tor takedown:
- The arrest of porn suspect Eric Eoin Marques was but one action in a wider attack on Tor
- The US government, probably the NSA, created weaponised malware to take down Tor
- SAIC and/or the NSA were the source and/or controller of that malware
A couple of days down the track, that theory is looking rocky, as two of the organisations that helped the malware theory to spread have issued a joint post saying their initial analysis of the malware was wrong.
Cryptocloud and Baneki Privacy Labs write that their initial analysis of the IP addresses used by the "torsploit" probably don't have anything to do with SAIC. Cryptocloud's also less-than-certain it's earlier assertion that NSA IP addresses were involved is right.
The post we've linked to above is long, rambling and suggests that even if it is not possible to find an IP address tied directly to the NSA in the Torsploit code, the incident looks an awful lot like the kind of thing the NSA is known to be capable of and interested in.
Edward Snowden's recent revelations make it plain that the NSA is peering into a great many dark places. Tor's status as a likely gateway to much of the "dark web" means attempts to gain more intelligence on just what lies within the onion router seem well within the bounds of possibility.
For now, however, the dots aren't joined. Nor, for what it is worth, is a decent explanation of where Torsploit came from or just how much damage it has done. ®
