Two months after closing his collegiate career with a solid outing at the Atlantic Sun Tournament in DeLand, Fla., Rex Brothers is 3,000 miles away starting his professional career for the Tri-City Dust Devils.
Brothers, selected 34th overall by the Colorado Rockies in the June Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, made his professional debut last Friday in the fifth inning at Everett.
Brothers struck out the first two batters he faced. His inning pitched earned him the win in Tri-City's 8-5 decision.
Brothers has made two additional relief appearances for the Dust Devils. Sunday he struck out two Everett batters in an inning of action. On Tuesday he tossed two innings against Salem-Keizer to notch his second professional win.
In his first three appearances Brothers has struck out eight while giving up only one hit and one walk.
If you would like to send Rex a note of encouragement, you can mail it to Rex Brothers, c/o Tri-City Dust Devils, 6200 Burden Blvd, Pasco, WA 99301.

It's science Friday, and the big news is that the male sex is not about to be phased out.
While that may be bad news to a select few out there, the majority of us will be relieved. In a paper entitled, "Natural selection reduced diversity on human Y chromosomes," researchers over at the University of Wisconsin-Madison delved into the notion that maybe no one really needs the Y chromosome.
For those of you (including this reporter) who need a refresher on why the Y is so important: Each person has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, and females have two X's. Last month, some researchers reported they had shuffled around genes in mice to create Y-less males that could produce normal offspring, leading some commentators to wonder whether the chromosome is superfluous.
Reading this research paper could give you an enormous headache, so we turn to Science News for a breakdown of what Melissa A. Wilson Sayres, Kirk E. Lohmueller and Rasmus Nielsen are telling us.
"The Y chromosome has lost 90% of the genes it once shared with the X chromosome, and some scientists speculated that the Y chromosome will disappear in less than 5 million years," said Wilson Sayres, evolutionary biologist and a lead author on the paper. "Our study demonstrates that the genes that have been maintained, and those that migrated from the X to the Y are important, and the human Y is going to stick around for a long while."
And the paper says the Y chromosome is so small — with just 27 unique genes where others have thousands — it means it's lean and mean, or rather, stripped down to just what's required. The Y has been on the decline for the past 200 million years.
"Melissa's results are quite stunning," Nielson told Science Daily. "They show that because there is so much natural selection working on the Y chromosome, there has to be a lot more function on the chromosome than people previously thought."

To John Urmston, fitness wasn't just a job; it was a calling and a mission. That is how the former executive at Nautilus and the Sports and Fitness Insurance Corp. is being remembered.
Urmston died last July at the age of 66. He lost his battle with Parkinson's disease, which he contracted as a result of exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, where Urmston served as a company commander in the United States Marine Corps.
In 1982, after working in the textile industry, Urmston arrived at Nautilus Sports Medical Industries, which was then based in Florida. (The company is now part of Med-Fit Systems, Fallbrook, CA.) At Nautilus, Urmston served as vice president of marketing and sales, general manager, chief operating officer and president. Urmston later helped found the Sports and Fitness Insurance Corp., Madison, MS, where his daughter, Jennifer Urmston Lowe, serves as the national account manager.
"Being in the fitness industry is almost always a passion," Urmston Lowe says. "For dad, he had a fitness passion from the time he was a Marine and working out and running. That extended into getting to know Arthur Jones and using Nautilus equipment."
Two people who knew Urmston from his Nautilus days are Joe Cirulli, founder and CEO of Gainesville Health and Fitness Centers, Gainesville, FL, and Jim Flanagan, a former Nautilus sales manager.
"John was a military man, and he was very disciplined," Cirulli says. "He had a lot of integrity. When it came to doing things, he had great structure. He always did what he said he would do. He was a good man."
Flanagan says Urmston first came in contact with Nautilus through his clothing business, which did private labeling of Nautilus-branded apparel. Among other duties at Nautilus, Urmston served as the emcee for seminars conducted by the company, Flanagan says.
"He was a very balanced man," Flanagan says. "He believed in his Christian values first, then his family. He always provided for them and raised an outstanding family."
Perhaps no one in the industry knew Urmston better than Wes Brown, who now works for Med-Fit Systems in the direct sales and new business development unit. Brown owned a Nautilus Fitness Center in North Carolina before he worked for Urmston in a sales position at Nautilus Sports Medical Industries. For the past 30 years, Urmston lived in Brown's hometown of Mount Airy, NC, where Brown says Urmston "made a positive impact on everything he was involved in."
"Many people around him will never know how global John's work ethics, decency and high moral standards networked his influence on businesses everywhere he went," Brown says. "He was my dearest friend, my mentor and an inspiration to all people who knew him."
Urmston was chairman of the Fitness Products Council and helped install the gym at the White House in 1993, according to his obituary. Then in 2002, Urmston helped put fitness equipment on the White House lawn under the George W. Bush administration for the President's Fitness Initiative. Urmston was a member of the White House Sports and Fitness Council and was president of the United States Military Sports Association for seven years, supporting military athletes deployed around the world.
Since Urmston's Parkinson's diagnosis, Urmston Lowe says colleagues in the industry had asked about her dad and his health at trade shows. For about a month after his passing, the family received numerous phone calls and emails offering their support and condolences.
"It has been amazing," Urmston Lowe says. "My mother and my brother and I have all been inundated with calls from this industry. Dad loved the fitness industry. To be able to work in the fitness industry, doing something that tangibly improved people's lives, really drove him."

Scientech, a world leader in providing OEM weighing sensors for a multitude of intregrated weighing applications, now is offering a wide choice of OEM sensors. Whether you want high accuracy, high speed, small foot prints, or extreme ruggedness, we can meet your need. Custom designs with varying capacities, readabilities, footprints, and outputs are available to satisfy your specific requirement.
Ranging in capacities from 12kg to 35g with readabilities spanning 0.1g to 0.01mg, these precise sensors will be an excellent choice for your integrated system. Weighing response times vary between 80ms to 200ms.
Our newest OEM offering is our brand new Zeta sensor which provides a major breakthrough in the design of analytical (0.1mg) and precision (1mg and 10mg) sensors. This breakthrough is that we have developed a weighing sensor with a suspension system which cannot be broken by dropping a weight onto the weighing pan.
As you might know, the highest failure mode for any analytical (0.1mg) or semi analytical (1mg) balance is a broken suspension system due to them having fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Then when any weight is dropped on the weighing pan (this is called shock loading) these fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, bearing will break. The way our competitors try to handle this concern is to state that they have "overload" protection. However, overload protection does not protect against shock loading. Therefore, shock loading is considered customer abuse and is not covered under warranty.
In contrast, the new technology used in the new Zeta OEM sensors eliminates any pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Therefore, it is not possible to break the suspension system of these rugged models with shock loading. This has been clearly proven by demonstrations of extreme abuse by repetitively dropping a 2kg weight on the weighing pan of a 210g x 0.1mg sensor from a height of 25-37mm. All observers have been stunned that this severe abuse did not harm the sensor, and everyone agrees that our competitors' models would certainly break under these conditions. Scientech now has a streaming video of this demonstration which you can see on the homepage.
The foundation for this new technology is based on a direct-loading weighing cell concept, which differs dramatically from a normal lever sensor design. The result is a high quality, highly accurate, almost indestructible, OEM weighing sensor.
Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Vestas is reportedly in talks with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to develop an 8 MW offshore wind turbine, Bloomberg Businessweek reports.
In August, the companies confirmed that they were pursuing a 'strategic cooperation,' but they did not reveal details on what the partnership would entail. However, industry analysts speculated that the cooperation would likely involve sharing the costs of developing new technology.
According to the Bloomberg report, which cited Vestas Chief Financial Officer Dag Andresen, the financing Vestas received this week was part of the deal to develop the 8 MW machine.
Both Vestas and MHI have been struggling financially. Vestas has announced thousands of layoffs this year due to market uncertainty, and MHI has been trying to recover the costs incurred from legal disputes with GE.

Letters of E. B. White (Paperback)
Harper Perennial, 9780061374593, 768pp.
Publication Date: December 18, 2007
Letters of E. B. White touches on a wide variety of subjects, including the New Yorker editor who became the author's wife; their dachshund, Fred, with his "look of fake respectability"; and White's contemporaries, from Harold Ross and James Thurber to Groucho Marx and John Updike and, later, Senator Edmund S. Muskie and Garrison Keillor. Updated with newly released letters from 1976 to 1985, additional photographs, and a new foreword by John Updike, this unparalleled collection of letters from one of America's favorite essayists, poets, and storytellers now spans nearly a century, from 1908 to 1985.
About the Author
E. B. White, the author of such beloved classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan, was born in Mount Vernon, New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine, then in its infancy. He died on October 1, 1985, and was survived by his son and three grandchildren.
Mr. White's essays have appeared in Harper's magazine, and some of his other books are: One Man's Meat, The Second Tree from the Corner, Letters of E. B. White, Essays of E. B. White, and Poems and Sketches of E. B. White. He won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, which commended him for making a "substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children."
During his lifetime, many young readers asked Mr. White if his stories were true. In a letter written to be sent to his fans, he answered, "No, they are imaginary tales . . . But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination."

Bubs Massage
I teach baby massage to new mummies and daddies. They learn to respond to their babies cues through gentle nurturing massage. Babies benefit with:
* Easier settling and longer sleep
* Relief from teething, colic and congestion
* Strengthened immune system
* Closer bond between parent and baby
I run classes of groups of 6-10 parents and bubs, or do one-on-one home visits.
My message to parents is: CALM... CONNECT... NURTURE... PLAY
• Prospective or new parents, hoping for a calm, blissed out baby
• Grandparents and friends looking to buy a present for new parents
* Infant health professionals, midwives, child health nurses, massage therapists
Everyone would respond to imagery that projects a happy, contented, beautiful blissed out baby.
Required logo variants:
* Mono
* Colour
* Portait
* Landscape
* If logo contains image and name - provide both icon and name separately.
Logo likely to appear on business cards, flyers, signage and website
Develop a series of images that can be utilized in corporate material for a provider of baby massage along with other types of massage.

WASHINGTON — Paul Ryan says his budget plan would dramatically reduce government spending, protect defense, rescue Medicare and Medicaid, retain the poor's safety net, and spur the economy.
Democrats contend that is nonsense. They say Ryan's plan would cut taxes disproportionately for the wealthy, eliminate most or even all "discretionary" programs that aren't defense-related, end today's version of Medicare, drop many tax deductions that help average Americans, and worsen the economy.
This may sound like the usual partisan squabble, especially since Mitt Romney has risked turning the presidential campaign into a referendum on Ryan's plan by making the Wisconsin congressman his running mate. Yet what's indisputable is this: The Ryan plan will work only if his theoretical assumptions hold up — and that's hard to gauge with so few details and so many variables.
Under the Ryan plan, for example, taxpayers in the lowest fifth of income would see their taxes increase slightly. Those earning $40,000 to $70,000 would get a $739 cut, and those in the top 0.1 percent would get a $773,000 cut. But financing for those cuts remains vague; the Ryan plan said they will be paid for by eliminating various unnamed tax deductions.
Ryan's plan "aggressively cuts tax rates and promises to recoup lost revenue by getting rid of tax preferences; but what it fails to do is specify which tax preferences it will get rid of, kicking that over to others in Congress to do the heavy lifting," said Roberton Williams, a senior analyst at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
The most immediate impact of Ryan's plan would be twofold: a doubling-down on the Republican supply-side theory that cutting taxes, especially for the wealthy, will spur growth and increase revenue; plus a potentially unprecedented shrinking of government spending. In Ryan's view, these measures, along with a revamp of Medicare and other actions, would be the elixir the economy needs .
An analysis of Ryan's plan by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, released in March, made clear that Ryan's economic assumptions are key to his plan. For example, the report said that under one current scenario the federal debt would be 200 percent of the nation's gross domestic product in 2050. But under the scenario envisioned by Ryan, the public debt would be just 10 percent of GDP by 2050.
The depth of the nation's fiscal problems is so great that, even with Ryan's assumptions, his plan would not balance the budget until 2040, but that is sooner than under existing laws, according to the budget office.
Ryan's assumptions provide the key to understanding his political thinking. He predicts that his plan would bring in more revenue from increased economic activity even while cutting the top tax rate and corporate rate from 35 percent to 25 percent, adopting the supply-side theories that he has subscribed to since he was at Miami University of Ohio.
Ryan also believes that, even while cutting tax rates, revenues would go from 15.5 percent of GDP to 19 percent in 2030.
The effectiveness of cutting tax rates in anticipation of boosting economic activity has been the subject of debate for years and has escalated since the Bush-era tax cuts have been followed by large deficits.
By failing to say which tax deductions would be eliminated, Ryan's plan has left analysts to wonder whether that would lead to the end of the deduction for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, or other big-ticket items. Nor does the Ryan plan provide details about many spending cuts. The plan was passed by the House earlier this year but rejected by the Senate. Romney has said that the plan is "marvelous" but more recently said he was running on his own plan, which also is short on many specifics.
Patrick Louis Knudsen, a senior fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation who until last year was a staffer of the House Budget Committee chaired by Ryan, said the plan should be viewed as a vision, not a final blueprint.
"He made it very clear from the start that his aim was to use the committee as a forum to change the direction of government and, in particular, to reform entitlement programs," Knudsen said.
On the surface, the cuts to entitlement programs could seem alarming, said Knudsen, who accused critics of attempting to scare seniors and the poor. "It's easy to scare people and make it sound like a lot of money. But if the aim is to get people off food stamps, then it makes sense to cut spending. . . . It's not as if we're slashing government in half. You'd still have a fairly large federal government."
Richard Kogan, a budget analyst with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the plan leaves the details of the cuts to members of the House Appropriations Committee.
"If he doesn't say which programs he's cutting, that allows for wishful thinking, assuming they won't be cut or people assuming the worst. It doesn't facilitate rational debate about a policy if there is no policy," Kogan said.
Some details, however, have been released. The Ryan budget would slash food stamps by $134 billion over 10 years, affecting 47 million recipients, including 857,000 in Massachusetts. A typical family of four could lose about $90 a month in food stamps , according to the budget policy center.
At the same time, Ryan vows to protect defense spending. Indeed, if his plan is coupled with Romney's vow to increase Pentagon dollars, there would be little or no room for nondefense spending outside of programs such as Social Security, budget analysts said.
One of the best-known and most controversial parts of Ryan's budget is his plan to partially privatize Medicare by introducing a voucher program and to raise the program's eligibility age from 65 to 67 by 2034.
On Monday, the Obama campaign blasted Ryan's plan in a Web ad featuring people from Florida, a state full of Medicare enrollees where Romney was campaigning.
Republicans have defended against such attacks by noting that no one currently younger than 55 would be affected by the changes to Medicare and that even in 2023, when the voucher program would begin, seniors would retain the option to enroll in the existing, fee-for-service system — a choice they would not have been offered under earlier versions of Ryan's plan.
Seniors who elected to go with vouchers — officially called premium support payments — would use them to purchase health insurance in a private Medicare marketplace.
The risk is that if private competition in the Medicare marketplace did not hold down insurance costs, government vouchers — whose annual increases would be capped — could cease to cover plan premiums over time. In this case, more people would chose the traditional fee-for-service model and cost savings for the government would not materialize.
Ryan's plan does not include an estimate for Medicare savings after 2023, when the private marketplace would be introduced. It aims to save $205 billion between 2013 and 2022, on top of the $700 billion in Medicare spending reductions contained in Obama's national health care law.
Though his plan calls for repeal of the health care law, Ryan would keep and expand Obama's Medicare cuts, a departure from Romney's plan to wipe out the law and his sharp criticism of the Medicare cuts.
Although the Ryan budget takes a gradual approach to a Medicare overhaul, it proposes swifter changes to Medicaid — $810 billion in federal spending reductions over the next 10 years.
As with Medicare, Ryan's chief objection to Medicaid is its open-ended payment system. Ryan would scrap fee-for-service Medicaid in favor of Medicaid block grants to states, which would be adjusted annually, according to inflation and population growth.
He argues state governments are capable of reducing Medicaid costs and improving coverage options for recipients but have failed to do so for two reasons: They lack incentive, because the US government foots most of the bill, and flexibility, because they do not fully control eligibility requirements.Bryan Bender of the Globe staff contributed.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Luanna Thorn (1875-1965) hand-wove this wool and cotton wall hanging with needle-woven apple trees. In the Springfield, Massachusetts' July 12, 1912 Springfield Daily Republican her work was described: "The hand-loom work shown by Mrs. E. C. Thorn at the house at the corner of Academy Lane carries one back into the days when the women of the colonies made by hand the fabrics used in clothing the family and decorating the home. The drafts for the various decorative patterns used by the women of that time have been used in Mrs. Thorn's weaving, and there are reproduced several fancy patterns for table covers and bureau scarfs and numerous other articles shown, spread out upon ancient articles of furniture belonging to the family which lend themselves well to the display of old-time draperies. In this line there are used the definitive terms of many, many years ago, and such weaves as the federal knot, the double bow knot, the line of snowballs and others are mentioned as one looks over the pieces of weaving made up into bags, belts, and similar hand weaves. Woolen yarns are used also for making rugs of the sort that much wear will neither fade nor weaken."

riteshn necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
Beamto.us is an uncluttered oasis of music, news, information, discussion board and social networking for electronic music. A homegrown algorithm determines the ranking of each beam with inputs such as number of times played, downloaded, comments, vote and time of submission. The primary motive of Beamto.us is to let all fans of electronica and various sub-genres thereof ( Blunted Jazz, Chemical Disco, Alchemic Chillout, Minimum Gabber and 16,643 other categories) to converge, learn, un-learn from each other in the easiest, fastest possible interface backed by a steroid-enriched engine worked upon by caffeine-induced coders.
Electronic music producers, labels, artists, djs, listeners, fans, partygoers, audiophiles.
NOTE: Whenever we mention the term Beam, its a music track/album/link upload that one does at our site. The site is very much like Reddit.com or Digg.com
There's one thing i like to highlight. Beamto.us allows anyone to register. Obviously, the user pref interface allows you to check WHO you are. So, either you are artist who wants to upload ORIGINAL tracks, or you are a listener who may SUBMIT only external links. SImilar to reddit.com and digg.com. We differentiate MUSIC as original music uploaded by artists and external links as LINK submitted by anyone.
Now, by default, everyone has a profile. Even the listeners. We want you to design the profile keeping in mind the Artists because this will help them promote themselves to others. We want this to be a marketing tool for them so that they can include in their Myspace, Facebook profile etc. Bandcamp and Sayvee are examples of websites that does just that.
An Artist profile page should look like the real deal. It should provide all such information that any regular fan would like to see of their artist. We think http://www.reverbnation.com/themonkberries captures all such details in a nice, clean layout.
Obviously, they have a little too much going on there but we'd definitely like to see the following :
1. Share
2. Basic Information
3. Bio
4. Songs/Albums
5. Stats
6. Official Website link
We have been debating if we want to retain the Beams beamed by an artist but some examples of the same seem to hog a lot of space and divert attention from the Artist, who whould be the real focus. So, we'd rather do away with the Beams entirely.
Instead, We can insert a player with 10 latest tracks of the artist. The current player that we use is dew player but just recently we encountered a bug for multi track player. We would like you to look into http://jplayer.org/latest/demos/ since we are also planning the same. You may also look at the mixcloud popup player. If an artist has more than 10 tracks, then we can just put a beveled link like tunecore 'See more ..' or something similar.
7. Also, we like the gradient color scheme of disqus.com. It looks very clean. Just something we thought we'll mention and see if you can get some ideas from there.
You may use the entire page. We don't want to retain the Tag cloud, Submit, Recent Visit in the Artist profile page.
If you don't understand anything about our site, please ask us since it's very important you know what is it we are trying to do.
1. Artist Picture
2. Artist bio. The above link shows what details we ask of the artist.
4. We want to have a player instead of the beams. Read Requirements section to learn more.
5. Color : Please use our existing color scheme from the main page. Also, as mentioned above in Requirements, we like the color scheme of Disqus.com.
6. Aesthetics : This according to us is of the highest priority and also something that cannot be put in words. It's also an attribute that is probably different for different individuals but i believe you should get a sense of it from the example profile sites listed below.
We are the developers of Beamto.Us. Check out current site at http://www.beamto.us. In this project, we are looking to overhaul the design of our artist profile page. E.g. http://www.beamto.us/user/dash
http://www.bandcamp.com, http://www.sayvee.com, http://www.soundfolder.com, mixform.com.

Not quite the words of encouragement you were looking for? IT pros with sought-after skills sometimes need a gentle -- or not-so-gentle -- reminder about job interview skills, according to Paul DeBettignes, head of the IT recruiting firm Minnesota Headhunter.
"There are a lot of ways to mess up an interview," DeBettignes said via email interview. "Even though IT folks are in demand, some things are difficult [for employers] to overlook."
Some interview missteps might seem like a failure of common sense, yet they occur regularly. DeBettignes took an informal poll of recruiters and HR pros -- not all focused on IT, mind you -- at a recent industry event: How many of their job candidates say or do something in an interview that left them thinking "What the heck?" The unscientific tally: 10%.
[ Don't ignore social networks in your search for a new job. Read 5 Social Strategies For Job Hunters. ]
"Last week, a friend at a Minneapolis startup interviewed a woman who brought her dog to the interview," DeBettignes said. "Her current company allows it and she did not want to bring the dog home before the interview."
Such WTH moments are not always deal breakers but they're not, uh, best practices, at least not if you want the job. "The best way to prepare for an interview is to ask: who would you want to talk to you?" DeBettignes said. He shared his top do's and don'ts for IT pros hoping to ace their next interview.
1. Do: Your Homework.
"Research who you will be interviewing with," DeBettignes said. "Surely they will have done this in advance and so should you." LinkedIn is a good place to start, as is the corporate website. Social media can be rich fodder for background research, provided you don't get weird. (See also: #2.) If the company or manager has been in the press, it can't hurt to bone up on the coverage.
2. Don't: Be Creepy.
Don't go overboard with your research, something all too easy to do in the social media age. Stay far away from personal comments based on, say, the hiring manager's Facebook photos. "Do not mention how cute 'Fido' is," DeBettignes said.

Summer is a time to enjoy warm weather with family and friends. Amid the activities, however, there's always the danger of skin damage that could eventually lead to cancer.
Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer despite being easily preventable. In fact, more people have had skin cancer in the past three decades than all other cancer types combined, according to skincancer.org.
Sunscreen is one of the best ways to protect your skin, but not all varieties protect against both UVA and UVB rays, and protection varies depending on the frequency and quality of sunscreen application. For these reasons, you should also consider alternative ways to protect your skin. Here are five ways to protect your skin without sunscreen:
Long sleeves and pants offer protection, especially when the fabrics are closely knit and dark. If your skin doesn't see the sun's rays, it can't get damaged. There is also lightweight clothing that's UV-resistant, so you can stay cool and protected. If you don't want to buy anything high-tech, wearing darker colors will absorb UV rays so they don't get through to your skin.
Wide-brimmed hats shade your face and neck, which are the most common areas people develop skin cancer. However, avoid straw hats with wide holes as they don't provide optimal protection.
UV-repellent detergent
Fabric coatings are what allow clothing companies to create SPF and UV-resistant clothing. If you want to make your clothing more protective, buy UV-repellent products that act like a detergent and create a fabric coating when washed with your clothes.
Using microscopic crystals, these products prevent UV rays from penetrating the fabric of any clothing you own. That being said, it's wise to check the effectiveness of such products through available sources, such as consumer websites.
Any eye care professional will tell you your eyes need sun protection just like your skin does. A quality pair of sunglasses will shield much of your face while also protecting your eyes from sun damage.
The ideal pair of sunglasses should block 99-100 percent of UVA and UVB rays, according to the American Cancer Society. The sunglasses' label should indicate whether the pair meets ANSI UV Requirements or has UV absorption up to 400 nm, which means they block at least 99 percent of UV rays.
Cosmetic sunglasses block only about 70 percent of UV rays, which is better than nothing but if there's no label or note of UV protection, it's safe to assume the glasses aren't the most protective.
Pair your sunglasses with a facial moisturizer infused with SPF protection to protect your entire face.
Outdoor smarts
While enjoying the outdoors, stand or sit in shaded areas. Awnings, umbrellas and parasols could be the difference between skin cancer and healthy, undamaged skin.
Also be mindful of peak sunshine hours. If you don't go out from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., you greatly reduce your risk of sunburn and damage. When possible, avoid being in direct sunlight altogether, especially when your skin is unprotected.
Avoiding UV lights
Many tanning products exist to "bronze" skin. Although many people know tanning beds and sunlamps are as harmful (if not more so) as the sun's rays, some remain unaware of the risks of other tanning products. If having bronzed skin is something you want, consider using FDA-approved products that won't harm your skin, such as a bronzer with a color additive or a spray-on tan (as long as you use eye, nose and mouth protection).
Following the above suggestions and wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen according to expert advice will go a long way toward protecting your skin from sun damage and the harmful effects that lead to skin cancer.

Hi, I have been trying to use the PUBLISH command for printing multiple layouts to a combined PDF file but found some of the xrefs are printing in reverse, it also prints all the background masks as black. This does not happen in the normal printing mode when printing to PDF. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

Dusts includes information for all of the IndustrailCraft Dusts, including Iron Dust and Coal Dust.
Dusts are obtained by macerating their respective ores, all ores apart from Coal, give 2 pieces of Dust when macerated. Metal Dusts can then be smelted into ingots of their respective metal (but using an EE transmutation tablet to change the dusts into their respective ingots is much cheaper than smelting them) and Coal Dust can be crafted into Raw Carbon Fibers. Macerating ores before smelting them will give you 200% of your normal ore yield, at the cost of the energy to macerate each ore before smelting.
Coal Dust can be used in many recipes. It can be used to make Industrial Diamond.
If you macerate Refined Iron, you will end up with a piece of Iron Dust, which can then be smelted to become an iron ingot. This is useful if you have a surplus of Refined Iron and wish to make non-Industrial items that need iron.
Refined Iron dust exists in the game, but can be only obtained by getting a Rotary Macerator and placing iron in the first slot and coal in the second slot (and by powering it, of course).

Americans love reality television, but only if the reality is worth tuning into. So it's safe to say that most university presidents won't be getting their own Bravo shows anytime soon. Campus administration isn't quite as adventurous as the life of Honey Boo Boo. Still, that hasn't stopped Joseph Aoun, the president of Northeastern University, from starring in his own series of YouTube "webisodes," or short, online-only videos.
The four episodes he's taped so far are funny shorts advertising a series of guest lectures at his school. In one inspired by silent black-and-white films, he plays a custodian. In another, he clones a mini-version of himself. In a third, he dances the rumba around his office — with a Roomba. Aoun's YouTube stardom has enhanced his social media presence around campus, where he's already known for his charmingly goofy Twitter posts.
Aoun's outreach may be quirky, but it's refreshing at a time when many university presidents are seen by students as corporate-like fundraisers in chief. It's a long way from the outsized role they played during much of the last century — not only on campus, but across American society.
Aoun's online presence points to a new way university presidents can use the Internet to engage with their students and the public, on matters both serious and silly. It may seem like a distraction from their day jobs. But, in fact, it should be a part of it.

PARK CITY, Utah -- About three years ago, Randy Moore, a struggling screenwriter living in Burbank, had an out-there idea: What if he took a tiny camera and, without asking permission, began shooting a narrative movie at Disney theme parks?
Moore had been visiting Disney World in Orlando, Fla., with his now-estranged father since he was a child, and he'd also begun taking his two children, then 1 and 3, to Disneyland. He thought that juxtaposing the all-American iconography of Mickey Mouse with a dark scripted tale would be cinematic gold, or at least deeply weird.
So with the help of an extremely small Canon camera and some very game actors and crew, the director began shooting a movie guerrilla-style.
The result of Moore's quixotic dream is "Escape from Tomorrow," a Surrealist, genre-defying black-and-white film that was shown for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night and that was primarily shot across the vast expanses of Disney theme parks in Orlando and Anaheim. There is Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and Space Mountain, Tiki Room and teacups, princesses and a Main Street parade. At one point, Epcot Center blows up.

Thought we could talk about trades that happened before the deadline that just went by.
1. Obviously we were the winners in the Monta for Bogut trade, we've covered that pretty well.
2. Trading SJack to Spurs for RJeff and Spurs 1st rounder in this upcoming draft, looks like being one of the last four picks - Think really noone won out of this at the moment. Spurs can just shutdown SJack for the rest of the season and then trade him as an expirer in the offseason, getting a real good player back and that's probably what they'll do, making the Warriors' FO look dumb yet again. Wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs FO turned SJack and filler into LAldridge of the now rebuilding Blazers or JSmith of the Hawks. SJack might play this season for them, where he won his only championship, and that group of players and coaching staff could get the most out of him, where here would have been awful influence. RJeff will likely not do much here, if he starts as the SF at all, which he might not even. having two more years on his contract at over 10 million is what hurts. He will be hard to trade until he is an expirer, which isn't until after next season. The Spurs 1st rounder won't mean much so this is really not the best move the FO could have done using SJack by a long shot. I really think they could have got rid of AB using SJack's expirer in the offseason.
3. GWallace from Blazers to Nets for Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams and 2012 top 3 protected pick - Nets gave too much. I like GWallace and would've liked to have him here as the SF, but that's too much for him. That lottery pick will likely be real high, maybe even in the top 3, so then the Nets would keep it, but if it doesn't, they lost a real good young player that they could build around, especially if Deron leaves, which he likely will. Blazers look ridiculous in their now rebuilding mentality when the team they had was good and just needed a move or two to be a contender.
4. Marcus Camby from Blazers to Rockets for Jonny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet - Another wierd move by the Blazers. Camby is nearing retirement, but still is one of the best rebounders and defenders in the nba and they could have got more for him. Houston just made themselves a possible top 4 team in the West if they are all healthy.
5. Nene to Washington in a three-team deal, with the Wizards shipping JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to Denver and Nick Young to the Los Angeles Clippers. Washington also picked up forward Brian Cook in the deal along with a second-round pick in 2015 from the Clippers. This all comes down to the documented immaturity of both Young and McGee. Both are very good at what they do, but both look like somewhat cancers that might get worse, especially McGee once he gets a new big contract. The Clips get the SG they needed and Young fits in there well, only having to do what he only knows what to do, shoot. Denver could have gotten a great deal, if McGee plays to his potential, as he is a monster of sorts rebounding and shotblocking. The Wiz wanted change and Nene is a good player, though nowhere near enough to make them a winner.
6. Lakers trade Derek Fisher to the Houston Rockets for forward Jordan Hill. Looks like Lakers did a little better here, but maybe Fisher has some playoff heroics for the Rockets. Be great for him to leave on a high. Wonder where JHill fits in the Lakers, looks like just a backup right now, but he is pretty good.
7. Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga to Lakers exchange Jason Kapono and Luke Walton for Ramon Sessions and Christian Eyenga. Lakers wanted a proper PG and they got one. Sessions has always been solid and the Lakers look like going for the championship hard again this season. Cleveland is still rebuilding and this doesn;t improve them really.

|(Document presented at environmental task force meeting reveals the plan for the process of the plan)
Monday December 13th at 6:30 PM, at the Civic Center, will be a big community open house forum to gather input for the plan. It's important we have as many cyclists as possible get involved. Both to show support for an ambitious bike plan, and provide detailed input on where improvements are most needed and what we would like to see. Having numbers will also help counter any nay-sayers with a wind shield perspective that show up and argue their personal convenience as a driver is more valuable than our rights and personal safety as bicyclists. So save the date, December 13th.
The full release from the city is below:
Bicycling is a critical issue in the City of Santa Monica right now because it helps us achieve goals in many critical areas: sustainable living, greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements, active living, open space/recreation, traffic & parking solutions and accommodating arts, cultural, commercial and civic activities without choking the City on cars. It is the fastest growing transportation mode for our largest employers, the City's own pool bicycle fleet is now larger than its auto fleet and interest is growing in cycling not only in Santa Monica, but in the region and the country.
LUCE, the recently adopted Land Use and Circulation Element, includes a future bicycle network with goals, policies, and actions for bicycling. The Planning and Community Development Department is currently preparing a Bicycle Action Plan, which will set forth an implementation strategy for realizing the LUCE vision for bicycling. We need your help in prioritizing and identifying programs like bike education, safe routes to school as well local and citywide bicycle improvements that need to be made so that we can create a place where everyone wants to ride and feels comfortable doing it.
Please join us from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday December 13, 2010 at the Civic Center Auditorium east wing for an open house style meeting to discuss bicycling and provide feedback on issues and priorities for the Bicycle Action Plan. Feedback from this meeting, as well as a public survey, will be incorporated in the Bicycle Action Plan which will be issued next year. The Civic Center is accessible by Big Blue Bus lines 1,2,3,4, 7, Rapid 7, and 8. There will be additional bike parking for the event. Please contact Michelle Glickert for special arrangements or questions 310.458.2204.

While Mazda's big news for 2012 is the first application of its revolutionary new SkyActiv gasoline four-cylinder in the refreshed Mazda3 — to be followed sometime down the road by an equally revolutionary SkyActiv diesel engine — the flagship of the Mazda3 lineup, the Mazdaspeed3 (which should be designated the HyperActiv, given its nature and in keeping with Mazda's new appellation), continues to do its thing, unfazed by all the hoopla.
That's fine with me because the Speed3's thing continues to be sporty thrills for those whose wallet doesn't stretch far enough to afford big-horsepower muscle cars or high-buck European sedans. Its $29,695 list price is on the high end for compact cars, but it's wholly reasonable considering its legitimate performance bona fides. Plus, its compact hatchback form offers cargo-carrying utility while also disguising its Q-ship persona (keeping it off police radar) — unless its attributes are used injudiciously. Finally, there simply aren't that many of its kind around. The other mainstream Japanese automakers have nothing like the Speed3 in their lineup, leaving it to the smaller makes — Subaru and its WRX five-door and Mitsubishi with its Lancer Sportback Ralliart — to provide the hot hatch competition (the Sube and Mitsu are more expensive but offer the added benefit of all-wheel drive).
So, how about the Speed3's performance? A 2.3-litre direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 263 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpm through a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission is a recipe for fun. Minimizing (but not completely eliminating) the front wheels and their very grippy P225/40R18 performance rubber from spinning uselessly is a torque-sensing conical limited-slip differential. Hard numbers as recorded by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada have the 1,500-kilogram Speed3 cruising to 100 kilometres an hour in 6.9 seconds — certainly quick but not the stuff of legend. Passing power is far more impressive — 80 to 120 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Yet, more than the numbers are the push back in the seat and the sound of the turbo hitting its stride, which never fails to elicit a grin. If nothing else, the Speed3 is a very visceral experience.
It's also rather thirsty, especially if the turbo is given a workout. I averaged 13 litres per 100 kilometres in a mix of city and highway use — and, like most high-strung turbo engines, the Speed3 runs on premium.
Given the gearing — at least in the lower cogs — getting a clean upshift without any jerkiness takes a little more concentration in the Speed3 as it does in, say, the Miata, especially in traffic. The Speed likes a clear road and a firm hand with the shifter, which is stiff but has well defined gates. As was expected, my wife, who dislikes any car that doesn't have a smooth, linear power flow, turned her nose up at the Speed3.
She didn't appear overly impressed with the car's ride qualities either, which are definitely skewed toward the firm side of the sporting equation. From a latent boy racer standpoint, however, the Speed3's sport-tuned suspension (stiffer springs and stabilizer bars at both ends) and electro-hydraulic power steering provide unerring feedback and an intimate connection with the road that is truly top-notch. Twisty bits of road are relished not feared. Helping to keep the car tracking its intended line are standard traction control and dynamic stability control.
Brakes, the final piece of performance dynamics, are equally up to the task, befitting a car with a potential top speed of 250 km/h. Ventilated discs up front measuring 320 millimetres and 280-mm solid discs in the back, along with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist allow the Speed to drop anchor from 100 km/h in a short 38 metres.
From a driving standpoint, my only beef is the lack of a hill holder when stopped on inclines. The Speed3 isn't an econobox, it's a $30,000 sport hatch — and I've seen hill holders on a number of less expensive cars.
A new Technology Package ($2,440) for 2012 includes blind spot monitoring (BSM), intelligent key, push-button start, eight-way-adjustable power driver's seat, satellite radio, colour information display, navigation system and automatic front-lighting system. The BSM system is handy in rush-hour traffic, with radar sensors located at the rear that detect approaching vehicles within a range of four metres to the left or right and within eight metres from the rear. When a vehicle is detected entering the zone, indicator lamps housed within the door mirrors light up. If a turn signal is activated while the indicators are lit, they flash and a buzzer serves as an additional warning. For those who have eyes in the back of their heads or otherwise find it annoying, the system can be deactivated.
Other than a change to the backlighting of the instrument cluster for better readability and a leather-wrapped parking brake knob to match the shift knob, the Speed3's interior remains unchanged. The heated sport bucket seats are very comfy and properly supportive in the right places when one succumbs to the temptation of exploring the car's cornering limits. There's plenty of legroom up front for taller folk, but having the front seats fully back in their tracks severely curtails the legroom of rear-seat occupants. My biggest cabin beef is with the tiny display window for the navigation system, which is tough enough to read in the daylight but almost impossible to see when it's dark and the headlights are on.
Hot hatches are an ingenious compromise — sports car and compact hauler in one. And, among the few available, Volkswagen's GTI is probably the most sophisticated: smooth, quick and very European. The Speed3 is almost its antithesis — more aggressive with its unique body bits, rawer, frenetic and more of a handful when its limits are explored, especially in the wet. Some will be put off by its brashness, others will welcome the challenge. Count me among the latter.

If You Could Fly like a Bird
From earliest times, people have dreamed of flying like a bird. Wouldn't you like to just flap your arms and fly? But birds' entire bodies, not just their wings, are built specially for flight. So to fly like a bird, you'd have to make a few changes, and you might end up looking, well, kind of like a bird.
You'll need really big eyes to judge distances accurately for landings and to see the ground clearly from the sky.
Teeth are way too heavy. Trade yours in for a nice lightweight beak, and while you're at it, get rid of that nose. To fly well, your entire body needs to be smooth and streamlined.
You'll need feathers on your arms, of course. But your arms will have to be extra long to support your weight. A bald eagle has a 7-foot wingspan but weighs less than 15 pounds. A 60-pound kid would need wings nearly 75 feet wide!
It takes a lot of muscle to keep those giant arms flapping. If, like a bird, your flight muscles were in your chest, your chest would have to be about 5 feet deep!
You'll need a tail to help you steer and land.
If you can fly, why walk? And if you're not walking much, you won't need big, strong legs. To stay lightweight for flying, you'll be better off with short, skinny bird legs.
- accurate: Exactly right.
- streamlined: Made simpler and more efficient.
- What are some of the ways in which a person's body is different from a bird's body?
[anno: People do not have wings. They don't have feathers or a tail. Peoples' eyes are proportionally much smaller than birds. Their chest muscles are smaller proportionally. People have teeth and not a beak.]
- Do you think it is possible to make man-made wings that would allow a person to fly? Why or why not?
[anno: Answers will vary.]

When starting out or chasing new customers on an existing business it makes sense aim for smaller players first, to build confidence, and get a few small wins on the board…. right?
The problem with thinking like this is that it makes life harder and less profitable.
The truth about small fish, is that they are harder to catch than big fish. They're more elusive than the big guys and are often much harder to convince to invest their money in whatever we are selling. With the small fish the decision is often about whether they should invest their money or not. The advantage of the big fish, is that the investment funds are usually allocated, it's more a question of doing business with company A or company B. From a revenue perspective it's far wiser investment of time to court a customer whose decisions to invest are already made. A $10,000 customer is harder to get than a $1,000,000 one.
The other factor worth considering is our reputation. If we become successful selling to the small players, we'll be seen as a small solution provider. But if we land a big one it gives us a license to knock on other big doors. When the investment is time, its worth chasing the bigger reward, and the truth is that it's often an easier sell job.

SISD to join AYP lawsuit
The Sweetwater ISD Board of Trustees took steps for the district to join the TACS (Texas Association of Community Schools) AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) lawsuit during their meeting held on Monday night, November 19 at the Administration Building.AYP is used as an accountability resource to evaluate public school campuses and districts, in accordance to the federally-mandated No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act.A press release from TACS noted that since the federal system was started in 2003, the ratings are invalid and are "destructive...to local school operations." Should success be found from the lawsuit, the TEA (Texas Education Agency) would have to withdraw its AYP regulations, thus eliminating nine years of ratings and start a new system.Sweetwater ISD Superintendent Terry Pittman noted that the AYP ratings are becoming "unrealistic expectations" as the state continues to raise the bar. Over 600 local school systems are being represented in this particular lawsuit; another lawsuit--regarding school finance--has been filed, with 900 school districts being represented. Pittman stated that this particular lawsuit will hopefully inform state legislators that "enough is enough" with the unattainable standards being set for students. As part of the current AYP, Sweetwater ISD recently completed a district snapshot to comply with the district's standing ratings.Several area school districts have also joined, including Abilene ISD, who is making an effort to involve local groups. Approval was given to join the lawsuit, in which each school district will have to pay a fee that will go toward legal costs.In other action items, the Policy Update 95, which affects local policies, was presented and approved. Among the changes in the policy were employment issues for non-renewals and resignations, public complaints and grievances, retention, the district name, and work contracts. In addition, three delinquent tax lot bids were presented to the board which all proved to be unique situations. The first bid was approved, with the understanding that the entire payment would be made toward it.The second bid did not meet the specified requirements and was not accepted, but the third bid was approved, subject to legal matters being resolved and releases being completed and filed.Approval was also given to the consent agenda, which was made up of the minutes of the October 15 meeting, the investment statement and the October 2012 financial statement and bills. And while no action was taken, the board looked over five proposed district calendars for the 2013-2014 school year. Each calendar started on the fourth Monday in August on the 26th--the earliest a school year can begin according to state law--but each boasted different holiday schedules.However, after some discussion, it was determined to bring two calendars to the staff to get their opinion. Following a decision from the district staff, the board will then come back at a later date to approve one calendar for the upcoming school year.
