January 2016
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced the Raymarine Quantum CHIRP radar, the industry's first recreational marine radar dome featuring CHIRP pulse compression technology. A new approach to marine radar, Quantum CHIRP radar sets a new standard for compact solid state radar, delivering superior radar imaging on both long and short ranges.
Quantum's CHIRP Pulse Compression technology uses multiple compressed, radar pulses with FLIR's exclusive ATX™ advanced target separation technology to display targets like boats, landmarks, rocks, buoys, and weather cells with unsurpassed resolution and separation quality versus traditional magnetron radars. In tight quarters Quantum's CHIRP technology allows identification of targets as close as 18 feet and offshore Quantum delivers exceptional long range imagery and accurate target returns. Quantum's on-board processing also automatically eliminates rain and sea clutter, blocks interference from other radars, and ensures a noise-free, easy to interpret image in congested waterways.
Quantum's lightweight design and Wi-Fi connectivity make it easy to install and simple to operate. At only 12 lbs. (5.4 kg), Quantum weighs 50 percent less than traditional magnetron radars. Quantum also breaks new ground with Wi-Fi networking to Raymarine MFDs, making installation much easier and eliminating the need for additional radar cabling or interface boxes. For sailing vessels, Quantum's solid state design and highly efficient electronics significantly reduce power consumption extending vessel battery life.
"We are thrilled to bring our new solid state CHIRP radar technology to the recreational boating market" said Grégoire Outters, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR's Maritime segment. "This breakthrough technology coupled with our ATX™ advanced target separation technology will change the game in terms of performance, ease of use and connectivity."
Quantum CHIRP Radar will be available worldwide in the first quarter of 2016 through Raymarine's authorized network of dealers and retailers starting at €1495.00. For more details about the Quantum CHIRP Radar, visit: www.raymarine.com/Quantum.

18-year-old Rebecca Bernardo, a high school student from Brazil, is hoping to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder.
Bernardo uploaded a video to YouTube last month that explained her plan. We've embedded a copy of the video below (in Portuguese):
The video has thousands of views, and a new CNN story on Bernado is only likely to add to her infamy.
Bernado explained to CNN that the auctions was prompted by a desire to look after her bed-ridden mother, who suffered a stroke this year. According to neighbors Bernado never knew her father and her sister died years ago.
Her mother does not approve of the plan, and hopes that Bernado will get a job instead. An offer by a Brazilian TV network to pay for her mother's medical expenses was apparently refused as Bernado is also seeking money to relocate. So far the highest bid is for $35,000.
This isn't the first case of a virginity-for-sale in Brazil.
Last year 20-year-old Catarina Migilorini put her virginity on sale online. Migilorini was taking part in an auction organized by an Australian documentary filmmaker, and eventually accepted an offer of $780,000.
Migilorini has now reportedly accepted an offer to pose for Playboy, though she remains a virgin due to visa problems.

16 Tricks Found -- Page 1Next 10 Tricks >>
|The performer free shows a tray. He blows up a balloon and attaches it to the tray. Upon his command, the balloon pops and a dove appears! Supplied complete with instructions. Dove not included. Note that we have only one of these in stock, made by Chalet Magic.
|So you need to produce the rabbit at the end of your children's birthday parties do you? Hummm. How about a box you carry to the party that also serves as the cage to house the animal? An empty circus cage box is displayed. A long balloon is placed in the box in clear view. The children shout the magic words (you know, "Happy Birthday Joey"), the balloon pops, and INSTANTLY a rabbit appears inside! Of course you can use many types of other small animals, doves, or even fake plush animals for this fabulous effect. Limited production, get it while you can!
|The audience sees an ornate looking box. The magician places one or two doves (or anything else of similar size) into the box. The box is then torn apart piece-by-piece and what was put into the box is completely gone! Mostly made of marlite type luan, this quality piece of magic will last a long time! 0042MM0330
|A great opening effect! The magician walks forward with a roll of satin ribbons in his hand. He unfurls the ribbons (holding the other end in his hand), and then begins to pull them back up through his hand. When the ribbons are bunched back together, he reaches into the ribbons and produces a dove! This is the professional model of this great trick. The ribbons and load bag are of the highest quality, and the method for securing the load is easy. Get it while you can. No dove included of course.
|The magician displays a small rectangular box with an ornate open front. The magician drops into the box a rabbit, guinea pig, or similar live animal. He drops in a covering piece to hide the open front. Then comes the treacherous part! The magician picks up a long dagger and shoves it through the box, through the slits cut in each end of the box. The front covering is removed, and the animal has disappeared! If you prefer, the trick can be performed in reverse to make an animal appear. It is a great way to make the live rabbit appear at your children's birthday party.
|The magician crumbles up a sheet of newspaper, tears the paper apart, and produces a dove! This dove harness comfortably holds one dove, is silent in operation, won't open prematurely, is hand washable, and is made of slick satin to reduce drag. Most importantly, the harness is made to be opened with one hand. And no, there is no Velcro. Bazar de Magica's new harness design eliminates all the hassle with dove production. A great climax for a torn and restored newspaper routine. 0411NUFms00530
|A cloth bag is turned inside out and shown to be completely empty. The bottom of the bag has a zipper that the magician can open. Next the magician sticks his hands all the way through the bag and wrings his arms in a crisscross fashion to further show that the bag is empty. The magician removes his hands and zips close the bag. Next he does the impossible. He reaches into the bag and produces a live dove! No, there is no secret loading of the dove into the bag. The bag is completely self-contained. The only thing you need in addition to the bag is of course a dove. Instead of a dove, any small like sized animal can be used. Use the bag to produce silk handkerchiefs or anything else that will fit the bag.
|The magician shows a completely unprepared silk handkerchief on both sides. He pulls the hank through his fingers a couple of times, wads the hank into sort of a ball, and then produces a live dove from the hank! Modeled after the traditional monofiliment style loop style, his unit provides a very well made dove harness that can be opened with either one or two hands. Instructions are included on how to make dove pockets for the inside of the coat. Use your own silk hank. 0801NUFms02290
|The magician displays a small animal cage. He opens the lid and places a dove inside the cage. The lid is closed. At the magician's command, the dove visibly transforms into a silk handkerchief! The effect can also be done in reverse. A silk hank can be placed into the cage and the hank suddenly transforms into a dove!
|The magician places a dove or other object to be transformed into the folds of an ornate mat. The performer pops open the mat and an silk handkerchief flutters upward! The dove has apparently been transformed! This effects features dowel ends to make the performance easy. It is a great trick to perform in fast succession with any other effect. Assistant is not required.

"Community" was the buzz word at last night's State of the State gathering at the Denver FilmCenter. The panel on Colorado filmmaking was sponsored by the Colorado Film and Video Association, an organization that's been hit and miss over the years when it comes to younger, ambitious filmmakers.
Could the standing-room-only event mark a sea change in how Colorado filmmakers and producers support each others' efforts? That would be exciting. But the absence of any Boulder-corridor folk among the pack of panelists gives me pause.

Technical Paper
Water-Gas-Shift Catalyst Development and Optimization for a D-EGR® Engine
Dedicated Exhaust Gas Recirculation (D-EGR®) technology provides a novel means for fuel efficiency improvement through efficient, on-board generation of H2 and CO reformate [1, 2]. In the simplest form of the D-EGR configuration, reformate is produced in-cylinder through rich combustion of the gasoline-air charge mixture. It is also possible to produce more H2 by means of a Water Gas Shift (WGS) catalyst, thereby resulting in further combustion improvements and overall fuel consumption reduction. In industrial applications, the WGS reaction has been used successfully for many years. Previous engine applications of this technology, however, have only proven successful to a limited degree. The motivation for this work was to develop and optimize a WGS catalyst which can be employed to a D-EGR configuration of an internal combustion engine. This study consists of two parts.

Pickle Juice is the New Gatorade
Sunday, November 1, 2009
But soon after digesting my meal I discovered that one ingredient, or rather the juice it comes in, is excellent for recovery following an intense workout.
Yup, I had thrown some pickles on my main course and then shortly after I happened upon an article revealing the benefits of pickle juice as a sort of all natural Gatorade. Well who the heck knew?!?!?
Of course, this is all fine and well. There is just one major, huge flaw to this – I refuse to drink the juice. I've never drank it (I mean, why would I?!?!?) so I can't say for sure that it's totally gross and horrible. I'm just going to assume it is (and yes, I totally know what happens when I begin to assume things - I am doing it anyways.)
But . . . well . . . it doesn't exactly appeal to me. And for me, some things, no matter how effective, are not making it on to my to-do list.
However, I love tips. And I love things that are not man-made chemical concoctions (fake stuff is so last year). So I am sharing this.
If you are a willing participant and if you're looking for a closer to nature alternative (because those neon colored sports beverages are way, way far from natural), you just might consider swigging some pickle juice. It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a good electrolyte replacement (think of all the salt!). When it comes to helping the body retain fluids, sodium is where it's at. Without enough fluids in your muscles you risk dehydration and cramps.
Let's remember one important thing though – water is usually sufficient. I'm often amazed at how many people have their paws on a bottle of Gatorade and they're hardly perspiring. It's soooo unnecessary!! If you're spending a half hour on the Stair Master, plain ole H20 will suffice. You'll only need to break out the pickle juice (or sports beverage if you're going that route) during longer, intense workouts – like 90 minutes or longer. Water, too, will still be the star of the show in either case. You just can't beat the plain, wet stuff.
Interesting FYI: Philadelphia Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder named natural pickle juice as key for their win over the Dallas Cowboys in 2000. Temps hit about 109 degrees that day in Texas and the briny liquid saved the day.
So, who's game for a little green juice?

Going for the Gold
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
And so that said, here are some tips from Olympic Triathlete Sarah Haskins:
"Sometimes the hardest part is getting out the door. Once I start I am in the zone . . . oftentimes, once I get into the workout I'm OK."
(So true! There are some days I dread working out. But I just go anyways. And I usually finish feeling way better. Naturally, too, this does not always work. Sometimes, even if I start, it's just not gonna happen. That's okay though - there will always be off days. Just trying is at least an accomplishment in itself.)
"I use people and experiences as motivation. I think of great athletes like Lance Armstrong and Paula Radcliffe -- people who've been at the top time and time again."
(By reading fitness magazines or by browsing online, I'll often find plenty of inspiration. Even at the gym, or wherever you workout, there's likely to be plenty of people who are getting fit. You can easily feed off their energy to give you a boost - if they can do it, why not you too!)
"I would say to have fun with the training. That's what will keep you going, and you'll get all the health benefits from your sport."
(Fun is sooo crucial! Nothing will bust your enthusiasm faster than boredom. If you hate what you're doing, you're not going to do it. Keeping it fun can mean working out with a friend, taking a new class, adding new songs into your mix, finding a sport you enjoy etc.)
"Working my balance increases my ability to engage the small muscles in my lower legs. This is so important for injury prevention for running and other activities."
(You won't be doing much if you're injured, so prevention is key. And balance is a good thing to have, especially as you age. I know for sure that I want to be strong and vital as I get older. I want to remain independent and capable.)
Sarah's Balance Move:
Stand on a balance pad on one foot. Tighten your abs.
Lift your leg and hold it for 10 seconds out to the front, as shown (1).
Without coming down, move your leg back, lowering your chest as close to horizontal as possible. Hold for 10 seconds (2).
Finally, lift your chest back up and move your leg to the side. Hold for 10 seconds (3). Repeat on the other leg.

What a Dirty, Sweaty Girl Needs
Saturday, October 17, 2009
There are few things better in life than chocolate.
A luscious chocolate bar, for instance, is simply wonderful. And freshly baked chocolate cookies are just beyond amazing. Way beyond.
Of course, these decadent delights come with pesky calories. Darn it!
This simply means that, while you can most certainly indulge, you just need to be sensible and not gorge yourself. Of course, that actually applies to all food. I mean, sure, oranges are fabulously good for you – but eating 20 of them at one go isn't such a swift idea. Moderation, too, is a fab thing.
But getting back to the chocolate . . .
I recently discovered a delectable treat in the aisles of Target. I grabbed it, bought it, and headed straight for the shower. Yes, my chocolaty find and I were going to get our wet on.
Behold my find:
I adore a good scrubbing. Unfortunately, I have found it difficult to find a jar which is economical, which does the job well, and which pleases my senses. I've tried many. Many have failed. But this hit the mark – and it's organic to boot.
The very best thing of all is the smell. Holy Yum! It's insane. It's heaven.
After a hot and dirty workout, this stuff so takes the cake.

How Many Steps Does It Take?
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
Behold my new toy:
This, a pedometer, is the latest addition in my never ending quest to stay motivated. Being a bit competitive, I thought this ideal. I am only competing with myself, but it's still fun to see if I can meet the recommended 10,000 steps each day.
Let me tell you, it's not always so easy.
Day One: I went to the park and, after a lengthy jog/walk workout, coupled with my normal daily activity, I surpassed 12,000 steps. Jackpot! Score one for me!! I believe that, being a weekend day, I had more time to fit in more steps.
Day Two: As I have a desk job, the majority of my day was spent, as you might have guessed – at my desk! It does little for boosting the number on my nifty machine. By the end of the day, when I was ready to leave job number 2, I had yet to reach the 10,000 point. I was several thousand steps short. Ahhh!! Seeing that I work in a gym, I decided to just hop on the treadmill. I walked for 30 minutes. That still didn't do it. UGH!! I only got to 6,818 total steps for the day.
Day Three – Success!! I hit 10,036 steps. What helped was a 40-minute long cardio session (Stair Master/Elliptical/Treadmill). Also, being conscious of the device, I attempted to get up and move more. I added in steps wherever I could. A little extra effort paid off.
Though it's still early on here, I would have to say that normal daily movement will, most likely, not cut it.
I see, so far, that I have to fit in extra fitness. It's through my workouts (cardio done at a good pace) that I am getting up to the high numbers. On day two I did lift weights at the gym, but that doesn't involve much walking. I actually popped the pedometer off for that time frame since I thought it would only get in my way, especially during ab work. I ended up missing the mark – and I don't feel like that bit of time would have saved the day. Even adding in that 30 minute treadmill session wasn't enough. Maybe an hour would have done it.
And also, while the pedometer does work, it surely is helping me strive to get off my rear more than normal, I do have one complaint: it's bulky.
Seriously, with the clip to keep it attached to my hip, it's insanely big. It's fine under a sweatshirt or a looser top, but throw on a tank top, like I did, and it looks as if you've got some weird growth. It's annoying.
Overall, it does not work so well under clothes which are more form fitting.
Other than that, I think it's a great motivator. It's almost like a game, seeing how many steps you can take.
Have you ever tried a pedometer? Did it help get you moving more?

A Girl Goes From Gym to 5k
Monday, October 5, 2009
When you're doing the same darn thing day after day you are likely, at some point, going to become insanely bored. Like, out of your mind, tear your hair out, make it stop now bored.
And when you're bored with your workouts you're more likely to slack off or, worse, totally quit.
Oh no!!
I have recently been bitten by the boredom bug. BLAH! Honestly, I don't want to look at another treadmill. And please, take those dumbbells away!!
My issue is simple – I have just been doing the same stuff for too long. It's bad on so many levels!
Solution one: take it outside.
Apart from the occasional walk in the park, my workouts don't really ever see the light of day (unless you count the sun coming through the gym's windows, which I don't).
But recently, running has been everywhere in my world. Not people running on a machine, but people getting out there in the world.They were running outside. They were running races. I was intrigued.
I also kept hearing about the couch to 5k program. If you don't know, it's a regimen from coolrunning.com. It basically takes a non-runner and turns them into someone who can cover 3 miles. Each week you mix a bit of walking with a bit of jogging.
Hmmm . . . could I do with a change of scenery? And would a new goal, running in a race, motivate me?
The program calls for specific time intervals. You might walk for 60 seconds and then run for 90.
But how was I going to do that?
Was I going to have to wear a watch and stare at my wrist the entire time? That would be totally dumb. I was not going to do that. How silly would I look, running along with my hand smack dab in front of my face? Um, no!
Yet, how would I know when to start and stop running?
But then I found a brilliant answer: my iPod.
I really, truly don't know how I lived before technology. Seriously.
So off I went to iTunes where I added a hot little podcast to my miracle device – Robert Ullrey's C25k running program.
I'm on week number two right now.
I do have to admit, first and foremost, that hoofing it in the great outdoors is tougher than it is on the treadmill.
Um, hello random hills and wind!! I've also had to dodge a squirrel - the furry little monster was totally in my way and was not moving. Grrrr!!!!
And without the constantly revolving belt helping to propel me along, I've got to rely 100% on my muscles to push me forward.
Still, though, it all beats being stuck inside. The trees, the grass, the blue sky – Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm taking it slow – especially since I have some foot and knee issues that I must look out for. But the program is actually pretty ideal for that.
You can repeat weeks. Love, Love it!
You can even run at whatever pace you please. Too fantastic!
How did it take me so long to find this!?!?!?

Top five OWA 2013 improvements that benefit mobile users
OWA 2013 offers several improvements that target users and admins who are frequently on the go. Here are the top five.
When designing Exchange 2013, Microsoft had several areas it wanted to improve. One of those areas was mobility....
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
Since just about every professional uses a mobile device, Microsoft decided it should offer a first-class experience for OWA 2013 users and admins who find themselves frequently on the road. Below you'll find the top five OWA improvements in Exchange 2013 that benefit mobile users.
1. OWA Offline in Exchange 2013
This is by far my favorite new feature. The idea behind OWA Offline is simple: Mobile users don't always have Internet access, but that shouldn't stop them from accessing their mailbox. With Exchange 2013, users now have the option to use a cached copy of Outlook Web App (OWA). This allows them to continue to work in OWA 2013 even when they're not connected to Exchange. It works much like Outlook does in cached mode.
Note: According to Microsoft, users can only use OWA Offline if their mailbox is stored on an Exchange 2013 mailbox server and if they're using a compatible Web browser. This includes Internet Explorer 10, Safari 15 and Chrome 16. Additionally, the organization must be running Exchange 2013 on its client access server.
2. Wider Web browser support
Another improvement in Exchange 2013 is that mobile users can view OWA on a wider variety of browsers, not just Internet Explorer. There is a chart that outlines the type of OWA experience users should expect, depending on which Web browser they are using.
According to the chart, the full OWA experience is available to those using newer versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome. In other words, if your users prefer a Web browser other than IE, they needn't settle for a second-class experience any longer, as long as they're using a reasonably current browser version.
3. Application support in Exchange 2013
Another big change in the Microsoft Wave 15 products is that many of them can be augmented with applications. For example, Windows 8 comes with its own app store. Also, SharePoint sites can use apps as well. Microsoft also designed Outlook 2013 and OWA 2013 to take advantage of apps.
This concept might seem strange, but it should work quite well for Exchange 2013 mobile users. For example, Microsoft offers a Bing Maps application that OWA 2013 users can use to create maps of their contacts' addresses.
4. The Exchange Administrative Center
Although not technically an OWA 2013 feature, you can still think of the new Exchange Administrative Center (EAC) in Exchange 2013 as a mobility feature.
Exchange Server 2010 includes three primary management tools: The Exchange Management Console (EMC), the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) and the Exchange Control Panel (ECP). The only tool that provides full Exchange Server management in Exchange 2010 is the EMS. The EMC is an interface to the EMS but only exposes limited management features. The Web-based ECP only exposes a small set of management features as well.
Because the EAC is Web-based and contains more features than the ECP, it allows busy administrators to effectively manage Exchange 2013 from a Web browser while they're on the go.

5. Interface display scaling in Exchange 2013 OWA
Something that always bothered me about OWA is it doesn't work that well on cell phones and other devices. Microsoft attempted to appease mobile users with OWA lite, but it leaves a lot to be desired.
In Exchange 2013, Microsoft has acknowledged the fact that mobile device users want a first-class OWA experience. Rather than create a desktop version, a tablet version and a smartphone version, Microsoft created a single version of OWA and designed it to scale its interface based on the type of device it is accessed from.
OWA 2013 is fully supported on Windows 8 tablets, iOS 5 or later iPhones, iPads and Android 4.0 smartphones and tablets. You may notice that Windows Phone 7 isn't on the list, but Microsoft still provides OWA lite support on otherwise unsupported smartphones and tablets.
A final thought on Exchange 2013 mobility
Perhaps you noticed that ActiveSync is conspicuously absent from my list of mobility improvements. Although nearly every mobile device supports ActiveSync, it is almost always the actual device itself that limits ActiveSync's capabilities, not Exchange. Consequently, Microsoft has left ActiveSync relatively unchanged.

Insurance company tests its ability to recover
It's been two years since Sept. 11. In this article, an insurance company tests its ability to recover from a similar disaster. How would your company fare?
- Darryl Brooks, SANology Inc.
One of the main objectives of an organization developing a disaster recovery (DR) plan is to make the plan specific, yet simple enough so that a storage or system administrator who isn't familiar with the organization's day-to-day processes can walk into the recovery site and restore operating system and application data without the organization's IT staff being available for consultation.
That notion was put to an extreme test after Sept. 11, 2001. Consider Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services provider that lost more than 700 employees in the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster. Many of those employees were the IT personnel. For any organization put in that position, the resulting question is: "Can your applications survive this kind of human loss during a disaster?" I recently gained some insight into that question and more during a DR experience with Sungard Recovery Services in Philadelphia on the second anniversary of the WTC disaster.
Sanology Inc. was called by a partner consulting firm two days before the DR test at Sungard to provide a resource for one of their clients and to fill in for a departing consultant who had been working on the project for months. The DR test was going to span the anniversary date of Sept. 11, and I was wondering how this large insurance company would fare in the recovery of its data on such a momentous date, considering that terrorists have a history of reminding their enemies of significant dates with further attacks on the very same day.
Being a curious creature, I took the assignment and discovered that in spite of my concern about the significance of the Sept. 11 date, the Sungard recovery site was not exactly jumping that day with IT organizations exercising their DR plans. This was interesting because we are a computer- and network-dependent nation that needs to ensure we have fault-tolerant resources to power our applications should an attack on our infrastructure occur on the Sept. 11 anniversary date repeatedly.
Before arriving at Sungard, I had the opportunity to speak with some of the administrators involved in the DR exercise from the beginning. They provided me with such pertinent information as the recovery objective date, operating system types and levels, as well as the hardware and software configurations of the Legato Systems backup and recovery environment. Armed with nothing more than a diagram of the provided information and a contact name, I showed up ready to go.
The Legato recovery environment had already been set up by the insurance company's core staff and was composed of a StorageTek L700 library using eight 9940 tape drives provisioned over a storage area network (SAN) and discovered by two Sun enterprise-class servers acting as NetWorker servers. StorageTek's tried-and-true ACSLS software allowed the two NetWorker servers to share the robotic arm of the library and permit DMZ and non-DMZ applications to be recovered simultaneously.
After certifying the recovery environment and being introduced to the principles at the insurance company, I started fielding recovery requests without having intimate knowledge of the applications I was recovering.
While troubleshooting tape drive failures, I realized that the method used to connect the tape drives to the Legato servers wasn't known by the core staff. Apparently, when communicating their hardware needs to Sungard, the insurance company didn't specify a method (i.e., a SAN or direct-attached storage) in which that connection was to take place, only that they would need eight 9940 tape drives. But as long as there are no problems with connectivity or the storage device itself, there isn't a real need to know how the storage device is connected to the server, only that the amount, type and connection speed of the requested storage is in fact provisioned.
Sungard's approach to provisioning storage over the SAN for DR exercises could prove to be beneficial to your recovery efforts in the time it takes to ready your environment. Imagine large, multiple SANs composed of servers and storage that's being managed by a drag-and-drop application allowing administrators to simply drag and drop storage resources onto a server icon, while updating zoning and LUN masking information in the background. Automating a process like this could have your production SAN environment duplicated and primed for recovery faster than ever before.
Provisioning IP addresses
As is usually the case, IP connectivity was a problem from the start of the recovery effort. However, after a meeting of minds, these issues were permanently resolved. During problem resolution, I discovered that the insurance company asked Sungard to resurrect its IP infrastructure with the same address nomenclature (e.g., IP address and netmasks) as its production LAN. Although I understand the reasons behind this decision are that they didn't want to change their IP nomenclature at the host level and that they wanted to restore their DNS server, resurrecting the production LAN as it existed before the disaster always seems to delay the recovery effort.
A better approach would be to request a bulk number of IP addresses at the necessary link speed; assign those IP addresses to the recovering hosts and then create a master hosts file to be placed on each recovering host.
Although this may require more work, this file can be created as part of a deliverable from your DR provider before you arrive on site. And if you foresee a need for a DNS server for future host additions in a real disaster, there's plenty of free nameserver software that takes a host's file and creates the DNS database files from its input.
In order for that to work, configuration files in your production LAN shouldn't be peppered with IP addresses. Use only the hostnames of servers running application software to make contact with daemon processes running on that server. This way, connectivity remains consistent during the move to the recovery site because all references to network services will be by name and not by a changeable IP address. And if you think about it, isn't it IP connectivity that we want to prove and not necessarily that we can move our network nomenclature?
Floppy disk fallback
The most resource-independent network around is what's generally referred to as "sneaker net." This is the process of moving data from one secured network to another by an administrator physically removing storage media from a computer on one network and walking it over to a computer on a second network. Although this could be a tape or disk device, the usual medium is a floppy disk. And in a DR exercise, the two networks are probably a private connection to your production environment back home and the DR provider's onsite LAN that you have provisioned for the disaster recovery.
Some files were unrecoverable due to tape errors, and the administrators resorted to transferring the files via FTP from their environment back home. However, because the PC that connected them to their network back home didn't have visibility on the LAN at Sungard, they had to use floppies to transport the files to the recovering servers over sneaker net. The problem was that blank floppies weren't readily available because no one foresaw the need to FTP files from their production LAN. So a search party was formed to locate a few floppy disks.
In preparing for a disaster and considering the real possibility of this scenario, removable storage devices and media should be included in your off-site canisters as a fallback. Optimally, this removable storage device should be able to store the largest of your client files, and be discovered by both the computer connecting you back to your production LAN, and a computer on the DR provider's private LAN.
Take nothing for granted
Assume the administrator coming in off the street knows nothing about your backup and recovery processes at home. Therefore, documenting everything from how to connect your application data to your recovery server--whether it is in the form of a tape library or disk array--to how to perform command line restores of file systems and databases should be included in your DR plan. To test your plan, have someone from another group who is IT literate, yet unfamiliar with your group's storage practices, execute the plan. This should give you some idea of how an outside consultant would fare in resurrecting your applications.
One last note on this subject is that all procedures should be standardized, documented and well known by the recovery team. The insurance company's resident Legato administrator was well versed in his knowledge of the Legato application. And as a result, it appeared as if he had been given full reins of the environment. This scenario often leads to administrators creating procedures and walking around with them in their heads, and this administrator was no exception. Make your procedures well known with public documentation. Not sharing this information doesn't give you more job security. All it does is require the operation support staff to call you in the middle of the night.
A prioritized application recovery list was nonexistent during this particular exercise. In the absence of this list, application administrators simply fired up recoveries at their whim. Because there weren't a large number of servers to recover, tape drive resources weren't overrun. But when application administrators required my attention to help perform their recoveries, I wasn't able to immediately assist other application owners who, by the attention being given to them by the DR coordinator, owned more important applications. Having a recovery priority list helps shift resources based on a business objective approved by upper management, which leads to a more successful recovery effort.
Testing application recovery on the anniversary dates of historic terror events also helps promote a more successful recovery effort. That's amplified when you consider that Sungard DR policies are based on a first-come, first-serve model with regard to the allocation of hardware and floor space. With this policy in mind--which is primarily the same for service providers in this space--how do you know your applications will have a home once a far-reaching disaster strikes?
Anticipating disaster
Even as I am writing this article, Hurricane Isabel is pummeling the East Coast of the U.S. and its projected path is very wide. Should a considerable amount of flooding take place, multiple data centers in Isabel's path could be affected by this storm. And although a natural disaster's target is less symbolic and has more to do with location (i.e., ocean-side states and fault lines), the resulting damage as far as data loss could prove to be worse than that of a terrorist attack.
Data centers that find themselves in Isabel's path can call their DR provider and put them on alert to the possibility of needing floor space and equipment. However, this doesn't reserve the needed resources for recovery, and thus doesn't invoke any real action on the part of the provider. If you want to ensure that resources are available, you must actually declare a disaster before you get resources for your recovery efforts. This is also the point at which invoices should be generated as well. Therefore, because disaster declarations aren't cheap, a DR coordinator wouldn't ordinarily issue a declaration "just in case" a disaster might strike their data center.
Declaring a disaster helps to ensure that your resources are available, but doesn't actually guarantee that they are available. Declaring a disaster simply puts you in a queue behind other IT organizations that apparently had Sungard on speed dial and contacted them before your declaration. Otherwise, Sungard would need to have an inordinate amount of computing hardware and floor space at its disposal at all times when you consider the total number of its clients and the resources they would require for a regionalwide disaster that stretches as far as Hurricane Isabel.
Considering these realities--the symbolic significance of Sept. 11 and now the weaknesses of our electrical infrastructure--should give us all enough pause to wonder how we would recover our applications if the contracted recovery site was not available due to this first-come, first-serve practice. I'm not saying that you should have recovery contracts with multiple recovery vendors (Who can afford that?); but I am saying that your recovery vendor should have resources in sites across the country, and at an extreme, outside of the country to help ensure that the widest reaching disasters do not paralyze your applications indefinitely.
As for the general state of our disaster preparedness, the recovering insurance company completed restoring its applications before its contracted time expired, much to the delight of some of the executives who came to Philadelphia to witness the recovery. Hopefully, that's representative of other companies, as well. But there was room for improvement, such as how they provisioned IP addresses or prioritized application recovery. Practice may not make perfect, but it sure goes a long way toward turning vigilance into readiness.

Neanderthals cooked veggies and used plants for medicine
19 July 2012
Neanderthals were more sophisticated than we'd thought previously, with the first evidence that they cooked plants for food and used plants for medicine found by an international team of scientists, including Professor Les Copeland from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Agriculture and Environment.
The research, published in the prestigious journal Naturwissenschaften - The Science of Nature, provides the first molecular evidence from Neanderthal remains for inhalation of wood-fire smoke and oil shale, and ingestion of a range of cooked plant foods. The paper also includes the first evidence for the use of medicinal plants by a Neanderthal individual.
Neanderthals are hominids in the same genus as modern humans - Homo- who became extinct between 30,000 and 24,000 years ago.
Using remains from five Neanderthals from the El Sidrón site in northern Spain, the team analysed material trapped in dental calculus, finding evidence for both food plants and medicinal plants on the Neanderthal teeth.
"Our results are really surprising, as Neanderthals had been thought to be predominantly meat-eaters. Just over the past several years there has been evidence of more plants in Neanderthal diets. It now looks like they had broader diets than we'd thought and our results show they even appear to be using plants for medicinal purposes," said Professor Les Copeland.
The team, including researchers from Spain, the UK and Australia, used pyrolysis gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with morphological analysis of plant microfossils to identify the material trapped in dental calculus on Neanderthal teeth.
"We found starch granules and carbohydrate markers in the samples, which indicate that these Neanderthals ate starchy foods like tubers, roots, nuts, cereals and grasses," explained Professor Copeland.
"These starch granules we found and analysed from the teeth of the Neanderthals at El Sidrón are the oldest starch granules ever to be confirmed using a biochemical test.
"We also found chemical evidence consistent with wood-fire smoke and bitumen or oil shale entrapped within the dental calculus. This, along with the fact that we found some of the starch granules were cracked and roasted from our microscopic observations, indicates that the Neanderthals were cooking up their plant foods.
"What's really astounding is we also found evidence for plant compounds such azulenes and coumarins which may have came from plants such as yarrow and chamomile. These bitter plants have little nutritional value and aren't very tasty, but can be used for medication, so it looks like Neanderthals were using plants in a more sophisticated fashion than we'd given them credit for."
The results indicate that Neanderthals had a broader use of ingested plants than is often suggested by stable isotope analysis.
"The varied use of plants that we have identified suggests that the Neanderthal occupants of El Sidron had a complex knowledge of their natural surroundings which included the ability to select and use certain plants.
"Although the extent of the Neanderthal's botanical knowledge and their ability to self-medicate must of course remain open to speculation, it's not unusual for self-medication to occur in higher primates, so it's reasonable that these close relatives of modern humans could have used plants medicinally."

Help with the last couple steps, almost there, just need a few more tips

I think I am almost to the end of my setup, but just can't seem to figure out the rest. If there is a manual detailing the functions of HIP, I would love to read it, as I know I could probably make it even more useful in other areas.. for now I would settle for just a few pointers.
My setup is similar to some I have seen mentioned. I have XP MCE 2005, though I don't use Media Center at all..
I have a HTPC setup consisting of a Samsung HLN DLP television, a Kenwood amp, and a comcast (cisco RNG-110) cable box.
I am attempting to make use of an ATI Remote Wonder II, and a USB-uirt.. I also have at my disposal a MCE remote, but have had nothing but trouble with the MCE receiver module as an output device, so I would prefer to use the USB-uirt in that regard. But its there for testing purposes or an alternative if necessary...
Steps taken so far:
I was able to get the ATI remote functioning with its own driver
I was able to get the generic device added in HIP and got the ATI remote functioning
In the ATI remote driver I specified that the mouse functionality NOT be sent to HIP, allowing me to continue using the stock mouse functions, and this seems to work just fine (movement, left, right, etc)
I was able to select VLC as the first application in HIP and have verified that the ATI remote controls functions like play, stop, pause, etc when VLC is the application of focus.
I was able to select the USB-uirt as the IR output device.
I was able to use the USB-uirt use to learn all of the desired IR functions of the various remotes I have, though I had a little trouble with the comcast remote, and may want to resort to getting those functions added in via a pronto ccf file (if I can find one).
THAT is where I stand.
The few last steps are probably trivial, though I cannot figure out how to make them happen.
Essentially I can't figure out how to link the functions I want to use (the learned IR commands) with buttons on the ATI remote. I am happy with using simply the VCR type controls of VLC and nothing more (except perhaps a full-screen toggle and aspect ratio button), but want the rest of the buttons to control my external AV equipment via IR commands.
Other questions and issues:
From what I have read I assume this last step is done through area where VLC is selected for instance as application 1... but what application would i select to control IR commands? Do I select an application at all? I am confused, as I thought I needed to select "add value" to begin this process, and the first thing it asks is to press a key... but the functions I wish to add (IR) will not have a KEY associated with them. A press of the key on the ATI remote that I wish to assign the IR command to, such as VOL+ does nothing at this stage, so I assume that isn't what it is looking for.. but I have no idea how to proceed.
What does the "select default actions to include" button do?
My big ATI button seems to function like the green button on a MCE remote and it opens up Windows Media Center. I do not want it to, and can't figure out how to get it to stop doing this.
There is mention of defining a HIP control key. What does this do, and do I need this for something? I am imagining this might be what I want to use that ATI button for mentioned in the last question if I can get it to stop opening Wmedia Center..
If you made it this far, thanks for listening, and thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Ok, an update.. I for once has a snow day, and have been able to poke at this all day.. What I found was that the ATI remote driver program was interfering with HIP, as the media center functions were not disabled as I thought.
Where this leaves me is that my issue of media player popping up when I hit the ATI button is gone, and remote button presses DO now open up the dialog to assign commands to that button press, so I am ALMOST THERE!!!
The problem is that I want to assign an IR command, and this button doesn't seem to do anything. I press it and nothing happens. I am not sure how to enter it in manually, as I have seen in some posts for stringing together multiple IR commands.. e.g. {?15.001}{*500}{?13.001}
I really do have like inches left here.. its driving me crazy, but I am almost salivating at the result. Any help would be most appreciated.

Ok, so I didn't realize you can simply input the commands right in the primary command and secondary command fields. Unfortunately HIP doesn't seem to actually send these commands. The USB-uirt has an LED on the front which blinks whens a command is sent.
When I am in the section to define the IR commands, hitting test actually sends the command (it works) and the LED blinks. Unfortunately trying to enter the commands in the Primary/secondary section, nothing is sent. Nothing happens, no LED, no functions... nothing. Even opening up the keyboard section where it lists the function of "send ir", that does nothing as well.
I know that it can work, as I have gotten the keypress (power button on ATI remote) to register in attempting to define this function. In defining the IR functions, I can test them, and they work. I just can't link the two functions.
I am unsure where to go here now. Up until now, while I didn't know the answers, there were at least things to try.. now I am out of things to try as well.
Perhaps I am just referring to the IR commands incorrectly? I enclose them in the brackets with a ? before the number listed next to the function I wish to send when I defined the IR command correct? Such as:
Or say in this case, say I wanted to string together turning on my television and amplifier with a 500ms delay between, it would be:
Does this seem correct? Not sure why my numbers look so huge compared to others I have seen.. but they work in the IR definition area. Anyway, that is all I have.. I am keeping such an extensive dialog about this so that hopefully my problems will benefit someone else with similar issues.. I hope it isn't too exhausting.. 8^)

Ok, I MAY have tracked down where my problem is. Because it appears to be an issue with how the program is responding, I understandably couldn't figure it out...
From the Help file:
"To send an IR Command, open up the Keyboard Editor and select the Send IR button. Depending on the type of output device, you will be either presented with a list of commands or instructed to press the key on the remote. Once selected the key is represented in a special format in the command and will be executed when the keyboard command is sent."
Nothing is happening when I select "Send IR"
That is exactly where I should be able to select the command I wish to send, though this isn't happening for some reason. I assume HIP, or at least this portion of HIP just doesn't realize the USB-uirt is there.. and so even when entering the command in manually, I am getting no action.
This appears like it could be an error, because as I mentioned before, in the learn IR section, the device functions perfectly fine to both learn and send commands.
So finally I have whittled this down to a legitimate issue..

Ok, in the interest of contributing to the community, I have solved my own problem.. hopefully this will help someone..
My mistake was in attempting to enter the information in the wrong area. Instead of attempting to enter it under the option of: "Select Default Actions to Include", it needed to be done by selecting> File/preferences/Alternative Input/ and finally Add Value.
From there, things worked as expected.
I can now complete my configuration.... Without this snow day, I would never have had the time to figure it out..

Latest MedicineNet News
MONDAY, March 18 (HealthDay News) -- Cliff swallows in Nebraska with shorter wingspans that help them take off more quickly and pivot away from passing cars have a reduced risk of becoming roadkill, a new study reports.
The findings suggest that cities can be hot spots of evolution, said the authors of the study published March 18 in the journal Current Biology.
"Evolution is an ongoing process, and all this -- roads, SUVs and all -- is part of nature or 'the wild.' They exert selection pressures in a way we don't usually think about," Charles Brown, of the University of Tulsa, said in a journal news release.
He and his colleagues have been studying cliff swallows in Nebraska since 1982. The birds build clusters of mud nests on vertical walls under bridges, overpasses and railroad tracks. Their colonies often number in the thousands.
Every year for the last 30 years, the researchers have traveled the same roads to collect swallows that have been killed by vehicles and compared them to swallows that suffered other types of accidental deaths.
The data show a sharp decline in road deaths over the last 30 years, and the drop can't be attributed to declines in the swallow population or in traffic volume. The researchers found that swallows that continue to die on the roads have longer-than-average wingspans.
"Longer-winged swallows sitting on a road probably can't take off as quickly, or gain altitude as quickly, as shorter-winged birds, and thus the former are more likely to collide with an oncoming vehicle," Brown said.
Wingspan may not be the only factor, said the researchers, who noted that swallows can learn from one another. So although there was an association between longer wingspans and road death in the cliff swallows, the study did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The fact that these swallows appear to be evolving to reduce their risk of being hit by vehicles may be good news for other species, such as turtles and snakes, that are frequent roadkill victims, the authors noted in the release.

Ok SA friends I have officially exahusted my wife's and my menu options for this season. We usually try to stick with traditional Pittsburgh style food for games but these 1pm games are a killer on the menu. I'm literally just putting down my coffee mug and it is time to pick up the beer for the game and preparing food for the guys is a pain in the *** that early. Plus the wife feels like she has to cook and doesn't get to see the game.
I do have several fresh sticks of the Jimmy and Nino's peperoni from the Strip District thanks to my parents who brought them to me at Thanksgiving so I'm thinking of putting that out with cheese and crackers and some black and gold nacho chips and salsa for this week.
If you guys can think of anything traditional Pittsburgh please pass it along. I have checked out most of the recipes on this thread but I'm looking for something new or different.

If you didn't take a crack at Mega Man Christmas Carol when it released two years ago, give it a shot now (.zip, 16 MB). The fan-made game reimagines the Ghosts of Christmas (plus miserable old Marley) as boss showdowns in Mega Man. Sprites, Inc. has remade its first game with a new engine, and continues to tweak the difficulty based on community feedback.
The video above should give you a good idea of what it's all about. Future seems to be the toughest Ghost/Master, from the discussion in that forum thread. (The game's five difficulty levels go up to a "Wut" mode, good luck with that.)

Debate raged on ESPN Radio into the wee hours this morning over which athlete is more dominant; Tiger Woods or Roger Federer? Then the argument shifted to which team was the most dominant in all of sports history? The 1980s 49ers came up, as the did the '80s Lakers. John Wooden's UCLA basketball teams need to be considered.
But all of these answers are wrong, obviously. The most dominant sports dynasty in history is clearly the Miller Place High School, NY, badminton team.
Miller Place has garnered some renown for being the home of the Miller Place Panthers High School badminton team, which has earned recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest winning streak in team sports history. "The Streak" began in the spring of 1973 and came to an end on April 12, 2005, when the Panthers were defeated in a match by Smithtown High School, 10-5. The Panthers did not lose a single match over a 32-year span that encompassed 504 consecutive victories.
And the great thing about it is that after the loss, Miller Park began another streak; the Panthers have won 26 straight going into this season. Since 1973, they are 530-1. (Members of that one team destined to have their houses perpetually egged for the next 32 years).
Located on the North shore of Long Island, Miller Place is famous for just one other thing; actor Ralph Macchio went to school there.

Asti, October 31, 2010—WE'RE IN A PLEASANT country hotel outside Asti, but we ate today a few kilometers south in Alba, because there was an exhibition there of Morandi landscapes that we didn't want to miss. Alba is of course the center of Italy's white truffle economy, and this is the season, so we did the expected.
But where? We didn't have time to look around, we'd got into town too late for that, and we're travelling without restaurant guidebooks, since we're mostly eating in hotels or agriturismi. So we parked near the center of town, walked past a couple of uninteresting-looking places, and settled on Pasta e Pasta, a chain I'm pretty sure (since I think I recall eating at one in Milan a few years ago).
Still, they had the requisite fungi. So we ordered tajarin, the Piemontese version of tagliarini, served dressed with good Piemontese butter, with fourteen grams of white truffles sliced thin on top. (You pay for your truffles by weight: they bring four or five to the table with a little scale, you choose the ones you want, they weigh them.) Afterward, we both wanted brasato Barbaresco, slices of beef braised in that red wine, polenta on the side. Nothing more but an excellent coffee, thank you; it was very good; I'd go back.

If we're being fussy, I suppose it's slightly daft gathering any and all instrumental fare with a propulsive beat, blip and shuffle to it under the umbrella of 'dance music' - that implies its ultimate purpose is invariably to get feet moving - but what's much, much bleaker is the weirdly widely-accepted 'IDM'. That's 'Intelligent Dance Music', if you'd not figured, obviously being a defective person who (obviously while skiving off important maths lessons) listens to 'PDM', aka 'Prole Dance Music', and is obviously therefore a philistine. So while 'dance music' is often something of a misnomer, it's also true that one will evidently be less of a bell-end for sticking strictly to it, while slapping back one's beard-stroke hand when reaching for a vaguely passive-aggressive indicator of one's notionally superior taste.
The point of all of which is that Australia's Seekae make something you're loathe to call 'Intelligent Dance Music' in these enlightened times. Although admittedly it borrows beats, blips and textures from a broad palette of traditional dance, hip-hop, R'n'B and occasionally post-rock (if only for the coarsing scope of the thing), to explore a starlit and foreign terrain. But that's by-the-by, because what's more important than intellectual cock-waving, decent GCSEs and an intimate appreciation of Scott Walker's post-1984 output is whether it's interesting with it (it is), sexy with it (it is) and generally pleasant company (it is). +Dome surges through myriad valley-swoop stomach-lurches and eye-of-the-storm calms. Typical of the album, opener proper '3' draws you into its twiggy tunnels of fairytale awe with a soft, blooming guitar riff, before bombarding its own, crickety foundations with tidal surges of oppressive bass, creating fluid rivers under starry, lysergic flashes of synth. +Dome encourages you to use silly words. The reflective 'Underling' swooshes aside mid-album fatigue with silken strings and spacey whelps of bleeping, faintly discordant fuzz, before the smoothly soaring title track slinks and wraps mistily round a dream's rose-tinted dancefloor, trickling out a funk-laden warmth J Dilla might have sunken into in more reflective moments. It's warm, joyously restrained and, above all, intimately inviting, and if all those deep-seated stereotypes of laptop-based music being inherently cold, impersonal and sterile haven't long since been redundanced, Seekae's is as strong a case as any for how wonderfully vulnerable and brittle a neatly-crafted, tasty splice of Modern - delectable electro-frippery, excitably slippery blippery - can quite consistently be.
Overall the follow-up to 2009's The Sound of Trees Falling on People strikes a delightful balance: without insulting our intelligence, Seekae have rounded the flagrant edges off FlyLo's sprawling imprint of historically clued-in modern-sounds and crafted a soundtrack that won't scare off the dinner party guests, which is hardly the highest treason. What the trio lack in pure, ear-fizzing originality, they happily make up for in solid listenability - again, better than it sounds - and essentially +Dome makes for a gently deafening return to what's fast becoming a drastically overpopulated market. So yeah, all in all I suppose it is pretty brainy, if you're asking.

Dutch ESA astronaut goes to ISS with hefty package of scientific experiments
ESA astronaut André Kuipers will depart for the International Space Station (ISS) at the end of April. After Wubbo Ockels he is the second Dutchman to journey into space and the first to visit the Space Station. In his luggage, Kuipers will carry fifteen scientific experiments, most of them Dutch.
The DELTA Mission was made possible, in part, by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Both ministries wish to use the space flight to emphasise the important role played by the Netherlands and Europe in international space travel.
Kuipers will join a Soyuz flight, to be launched by the Russian space organisation, in the role of First Engineer. The launch is planned for 19 April 2004, from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Together with Russian cosmonaut Gennadi Padalka and NASA astronaut Mike Fincke, he will make the two-day journey to the Space Station.
The DELTA Mission will take ten days in all and has four objectives.
1. Replace the Soyuz lifeboat
The first is to replace the Soyuz TMA-3 capsule, which is currently attached to ISS, with TMA-4. The Soyuz serves as a 'lifeboat' and must be replaced every six months to ensure that it is in the best possible condition.
2. Change of permanent crew
The mission's second objective is the changeover of the permanent crew. Padalka and Fincke will take up the torch from Alexander Kaleri (Russia) en Michael Foale (USA), who by then will have lived on board the ISS for half a year. Kuipers will return to Earth with them in the Soyuz TMA-3.
3. Science experiments
In his eight days on board the Station, Kuipers will work on the mission's third objective – a package of about fifteen scientific experiments. For example, he will study a new type of light bulb for Philips and the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven.
You can find out more about the biological, medical and physiological experiments that will be carried out during the DELTA Mission by clicking on the link Experiment overview.
4. Education
Finally, the DELTA Mission has a significant educational component. At the same time as schoolchildren back on Earth, Kuipers will grow salad cress in a project called "Seeds in Space". The aim is to show the effect of gravity on the growth of plants.
In the VIDEO-3 project he will also record how living in space affects the human body. The results of this project will be made available on DVD to secondary schools in the Netherlands and other ESA Member States. Via ESA's "Zeg het ISS" ("Speak Up") project, children will also have an opportunity to speak to André Kuipers while he is in space.
Minister van der Hoeven of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science hopes that the DELTA Mission will inspire young people in the Netherlands to opt for science-oriented subjects in their further education. She says that she can imagine no better classroom for inspiring experiments than the vast expanses of space outside the Earth's atmosphere. Both ministers would like to use the flight to reiterate the importance of space travel in general and, in particular, the possibilities for innovation that space travel offers to industry in the Netherlands.
Others involved in the DELTA Mission
Apart from the two ministries, the Space Research Organisation Netherlands (SRON) and the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programmes (Dutch abbreviation: NIVR) are closely involved in the mission. Furthermore, every experiment carried out by André Kuipers on board the International Space Station is supported by an entire team of scientists from various Dutch and European institutions.

New York, February 21, 2013--An Israeli court yesterday extended the detention of Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Saba'aneh, who has been held since Saturday without charge or access to his lawyer, according to news reports. The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on authorities to immediately release the political cartoonist and allow him access to his lawyer.
The military court extended Saba'aneh's detention for nine days, the Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) told CPJ. Israeli authorities said they were investigating the cartoonist for providing services to unspecified "hostile organizations," according to Saba'aneh's employer, the Palestinian daily Al-Hayat al-Jadida, which cited the cartoonist's lawyer.
Saba'aneh works as a political cartoonist for Al-Hayat al-Jadida, and has depicted imprisoned Palestinians in his most recent cartoons. One, published on February 17, shows a mirror on the wall of a prison, revealing prison bars in its reflection. More than 300 Palestinians are being held without charge in administrative detention in Israel, according to B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group.
Saba'aneh was detained on February 16 while crossing the Allenby Bridge checkpoint from Jordan after returning from a conference for his work at the Arab American University, according to news reports. He is being held at the Jalemeh detention center near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, MADA said. It is not clear if Saba'aneh is being held under "administrative detention." Under Israeli law, prisoners can be held under administrative detention indefinitely without formal charges being filed against them.
Local press freedom groups said they believed Saba'aneh's arrest could be part of a larger crackdown on the Palestinian press in the region. In January, Israeli soldiers prevented about 20 international journalists from covering the eviction of a Palestinian campsite in the West Bank. Another international journalist was briefly detained in the West Bank, according to news reports. Three Palestinian journalists remain in administrative detention in Israel, two without charge, according to CPJ's annual prison census conducted in December.
CPJ's calls to the Israeli authorities were not immediately returned.
"Israel has a history of using administrative detention to silence critical reporting. This flies in the face of international law," said Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa coordinator. "The Israeli authorities must explain why they have used such an overbroad security statute against political cartoonist Mohammad Saba'aneh."
In 2010, Saba'aneh visited the United States as a member of the State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program, and he was a guest of the Cartoonists Right Network International's annual Award for Courage in Editorial Cartooning.

The Dragonspeak Mountains (Dragons Peak) are by far the tallest mountains located on Ariline. They are formed by the collision of two continental plates, Galador and Kinchidor, respectively.
They get their name from a particularly high Red, Gold and Silver dragon population. Other dragons are also noted to live in particular sub-terrains, such as forested foothills for Green Dragons.
As Craynori influence spread in Galador, many of these powerful creatures opted to leave their homes and come here, far from the influence of humans. To this day, the distance, rugged terrain, and proximity of a considerable number of these creatures has kept humanity away.

I am a Visualization Supervisor and Senior Animator in Los Angeles with over eighteen years of experience crafting powerful, cinematic moments for the entertainment industry. Clients include Disney, Marvel Studios, 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios. Before my career in the film and advertising industry, I worked at Rockstar Games, where I was a Senior Animator on Red Dead Redemption. I also illustrate and create visual art in my spare time.
Visualization is a process that allows a complicated production to be imagined in advance, usually with the use of computer animation. It is commonly used to help plan out sections of entertainment projects like films, television shows, commercials, VR experiences, and theme park rides.
An example of visualization in action is "previsualization" artists using 3D software to animate an early version of a feature film sequence that will rely on complicated visual effects. The extra amount of detail provided by this first pass of the sequence is a crucial blueprint for the director, cast, and crew once production begins.
After the film is shot, "postvis artists" use software to finish a rough pass of incomplete shots that feature bluescreens and other stand-in material. These updated shots become clear enough for editors and test audiences to follow the action of the film, so studios can get a sense of what is working as a film evolves in post-production. By the time the final VFX are finished, the previs and postvis work is fully replaced, with no trace left for audiences other than the guide for compositions and timing that only a team of skilled visualization artists can quickly provide.
