The Mass of Mars was first estimated from the orbits of the Martian moons, and 'confirmed' by the Ranger fly-bys. I will continue to argue that we have no factual basis for assuming the mass-orbit relationship of Mars and Mars' moons is precisely indentical to the Earth-moon relationship. The same is true of the Jovian and Saturn systems. There is mounting evidence that the moons of Saturn are composed of elements too heavy to meet the the Newtonian predictions of the masses of these moons. This is especially true of Phoebe (there is too much iron on the surface), Titan (sand where there should be water) and Enceladus (too much internal energy).Originally Posted by Hamlet
Some of it is not, I believe one of the Nature articles mentioned the penetrometer data compared favorably with sand. - they don't tend to put what they do not understand in published journals. These facts are the ones that tend to slip by unnoticed. Many of them are in the various Planetary Society articles and blog entries - I think the bit about finding benzene but not water vapor near the surface was in a 'Huygens one year later press release'. It is easy to see that the albedo and color of Titan is not anything like that of other water-ice coated moons like Enceladus. There has been considerable debate on the structure of the 'cat scratches', the dunes, and whether or not they resemble snow drifts on Unmannedspaceflight.comI've read all of the peer-reviewed Huygens papers and I don't recall a single one that supported these assertions.
MRO burned longer and used more fuel than expected to achieve the exact orbit desired. Venus Express burned exactly the expected amount of fuel for exactly the expected amount of time, but stayed in occultation 7 seconds longer than expected. 7 seconds means the orbit should be off by about 1%. In both cases, these are almost trivial differences, well within expected margins of errors, but as I have said many times, the orbital calculations should be very close, but not exactly correct - it is the masses of Mars and Venus used in making these calculations that are wrong.I've said my piece and have added the factual information on MRO.

Whirl around the world of misandry in the mainstream media
For example, there is this inanity: "Traitors to the cause of white male privilege, there are quite a few unsung men of feminist values in the world. So why aren't we singing the praises of these too few good men? Patriarchy is a system that is a "beast" and doesn't reward the boys that bite the hand that feeds it." http://www.pasadenaweekly.com/cms/story/detail/boys_bite_beast/7611/
And you know about the matriarchies, don't you? "The rules at Tumai [Kenya] are very simple. To live here, women have to be divorced. The women can live with their children, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. However sons, once they attain 16 years of age, will have to leave the village either to find jobs for themselves or migrate for higher studies. . . . . But despite liberating themselves from men, these women do not wish to be labelled as man haters. Clarifies Ferroukhi, 'These women are not against men. They are against cruelty and often violent attempts by the husband to dominate them.' . . . . It is Ferroukhi's sensitivity to the ideas of social justice that inspires her to study matriarchy. . . . She read about pre-historic societies before the practice of monotheistic religions which tended to be more egalitarian simply because women were in charge." http://newsblaze.com/story/20090825145518iwfs.nb/topstory.html
A writer addresses Kenyan men and boys: "I want to address this piece to men and boys, although I would love women and girls to read it too. I am writing to men and boys because they are the primary perpetrators of gender-based violence. They are socialised by patriarchy – rule by men – to abuse women, and to treat them as chattel." http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/-/440808/647240/-/4n87op/-/
One of feminism's useful male idiots writes: "As a nation, it is vital that we ramp up efforts to educate boys and men about patriarchy, sexism, male privilege, and how men's violence against women is ultimately about men maintaining power and control over female bodies. . . . . Educating boys and men in prevention programs is one of the keys to drastically reducing all forms of gender violence. Men, this has to stop. Men's violence against women is pervasive worldwide, and we can no longer deflect this issue onto women as if they are the cause of the problem and should fix it by themselves. . . . ." http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2009/09/abuse-unchecked-a-husband-shoo-1-002255.php
And then there's this insanity, that decries the "strategy" to say women are treated markedly better in the US than some other countries: "It's a strategy that offends feminists like me, who see a continuum between domestic violence at home and overseas, who could relate to the isolation that rape victims in these cultures feel and who see links between pay equity issues in the west and the belief that Kristof and WuDunn chronicle in many cultures that men deserve to own the higher payout crops and boys deserve more food." http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/sep/03/women-developing-world

Browsing those links, it's easy to see how Hofstra could happen. We are living in an age of androphobia in which the most absurd accusations against men -- including men as a class; half of the human race -- are repeated as though they were perfectly acceptable.
Speaking of Hofstra, I was wondering -- did this false rape accuser have any ties to the campus feminists? Was she in a women's studies class? - Sep 19, 2009, 12:19:00 PM
Anon -- good question. Sounds like somebody "counseled" her, doesn't it?
- Sep 19, 2009, 12:46:00 PM
I wouldn't go that far, but I am curious as to whether or not the campus feminists are now "she-heiling" her like the pro-castration crowd did at Duke.

Regarding the last link, I have no problem saying that there is an enormous difference between oppression of women in the US and everywhere else. I think the problems we females have here pale in comparison to what females go through in some heinous countries.
But I agree with the author of that article about the role that the US has in oppression of women worldwide. We didn't allow any of our money to go to family planning if anyone mentioned the word "abortion". 1/3 of the $$ we gave for HIV/AIDS was for abstinence-only propaganda. We don't intervene when we should in certain cases, but we do when we want to use the plight of oppressed women to our advantage and to score political points. We "care" about women when it's convenient. - Sep 19, 2009, 10:00:00 PM

Women have never been oppressed in the United States. The problem is that women have been so coddled in the West that they think somebody calling them ugly or fat is tantamount to widespread oppression.
Blacks were oppressed in the United States, they were rounded up and hung from trees by lynch mobs. Chinese and Irish immigrants were forced to become wage slaves for the railroad and often died trying to make pocket change to support their families with. Native Americans were deliberately infected with diseases they had no immunities to, and had their food supply hunted off so that they would starve to death,their remaining numbers were rounded up into concentration camps called "reservations" and deliberately kept in a state of poverty for decades.
THAT is oppression. Women in the West have never suffered anything CLOSE to oppression.
If being supported by someone else's labor for your entire life and still being able to bitch about it is oppression ,sign me the fuck up. - Sep 20, 2009, 4:25:00 AM
We "care" about women when it's convenient.
Who's this "we"? You're free to spend your time and money helping third world women all you want. Instead, feminists choose to fight the war against men in their home countries. - Sep 20, 2009, 5:31:00 AM

Women were never abused? Women were never raped? Women had rights and freedoms? Women could go and do as they please? Women didn't have to get approval from men for virtually everything? Women never had to worry about finances, even if they didn't work themselves? And women never worked? You've never heard of women and children working in factories just to survive? And when women were allowed to work in clerical jobs, they were never sexually harassed or molested? Women were never punished for stepping outside the acceptable norm of sexual behavior (i.e. when married, to have babies only)? And punished by being shunned, humiliated, and even raped as punishment.
And those examples you gave left off black female slaves being raped by slave owners and having their kids ripped from them and sold away. Native American females being raped, raped, and raped some more by white men.
I could go on, but it will fall on deaf ears. - Sep 20, 2009, 2:15:00 PM

And Anonymous,
"THAT is oppression."
Do you think that men are oppressed in this country by women? - Sep 20, 2009, 2:16:00 PM
"Women were never abused? Women were never raped?"
None of these things amount to "oppression". There have always been laws on the books against abusing or raping women. By contrast, only recently did rape become legally defined as something a woman could do to a man in many countries.
"Women had rights and freedoms? Women could go and do as they please?"
During the time period you are talking about,women had the same rights and freedoms afforded to non-landowning males. When women's lib gave women the rights that landowners possessed,just because they were women, there was a period where women had more rights than many men.
"Women didn't have to get approval from men for virtually everything?"
No. They had to have their husband sign off on their financial expenses,which was fair, because if a woman didn't pay a loan her HUSBAND went to jail for it.
"Women never had to worry about finances, even if they didn't work themselves?"
That has nothing to do with one political class oppressing another. Women had the opportunity to farm their family's land to make money, and many did.
"And women never worked? You've never heard of women and children working in factories just to survive?"
Orphaned male children probably did this,but women don't HAVE to work to SURVIVE and never have. Any reasonably attractive woman can get a man to support her.
Men have to work to survive,because women refuse to support men for long periods of time.
"And when women were allowed to work in clerical jobs, they were never sexually harassed or molested?"
I would imagine some women have been actually sexually harassed on the job,as in repeatedly enduring comments of an overtly sexual nature everyday,all day. What qualifies as sexual harassment or molestation today is a look that a woman doesn't like.
If women ever were sexually harassed or molested on the job, men have more than paid their dues in lost jobs over an an innocent compliment or a look for the last 40 years.
"Women were never punished for stepping outside the acceptable norm of sexual behavior (i.e. when married, to have babies only)? And punished by being shunned, humiliated, and even raped as punishment."
None of this,which is mostly speculation mind you,was ever sanctioned by the U.S. government.
And no, I seriously doubt a woman has ever been raped for working instead of being a homemaker.
"And those examples you gave left off black female slaves being raped by slave owners and having their kids ripped from them and sold away."
All of that falls under the umbrella of oppression of black,which weren't considered human beings at the time. By contrast,women have always been considered human beings and the same slave owners that routinely raped and took away the children of blacks (not black WOMEN,as the child also belongs to the father. Or did you forget?) would find it unconscionable to do the same to a white person,because whites were considered human.
"Native American females being raped, raped, and raped some more by white men."
They were not raped because they were women,they were raped because they were Native American,and Native Americans were also not considered human beings.
"I could go on, but it will fall on deaf ears."
Yes,it will. Because your examples are bullshit.
I'm talking about political oppression,sanctioned by the government against classes of people and you're bringing up examples of hardships women faced that had nothing to do with not viewing women as human beings or wanting to restrict the rights of WOMEN per se, but blacks,Native Americans,non-landowners, and so on.
No women have ever been killed by the government of the United States, or allowed to be killed by the government of the United States, because they were women. - Sep 20, 2009, 8:56:00 PM
"Do you think that men are oppressed in this country by women?"
What do you think? You've stated that it's ok for a woman to make a false accusation that results in a man being beaten to death. Since there are no laws restricting that behavior when it is men who are dying, would you call that the political oppression of men by women?
Certainly feminism makes every woman who comes into contact with it a political ideologue, and no doubt, some of these men were falsely accused because they are men,with the attitude that,"hey, it's only men being hurt,so what's the problem?". - Sep 20, 2009, 9:04:00 PM
"And when women were allowed to work in clerical jobs, they were never sexually harassed or molested?"
Also, sexual harassment is not political oppression. - Sep 20, 2009, 9:16:00 PM
- jeana said...
What do you think? You've stated that it's ok for a woman to make a false accusation that results in a man being beaten to death.
When did I ever say this? I believe what you're referring to is I said that I didn't think drunken females who lied about being raped to a guy who then decided to act on those idiots' lies and beat a guy to death couldn't be charged with a crime unless she reported that to the police, and even then I don't know. I did say that you could say anything you wanted about them, but I didn't think they could be charged with a crime. I don't think that's ok to do. I only can think of one example of it being ok to lie about rape and no examples of why it's ok to like specifically about a man raping you. Because it is never ok for a man to take the fall for anything relating to making your life "easier" by pretending you've been raped. - Sep 20, 2009, 10:20:00 PM
- jeana said...
Also, sexual harassment is not political oppression.
Unless it's practiced and promoted by the state, I'll agree with you. - Sep 20, 2009, 10:21:00 PM
Jeana, you yourself may never have said false rape is ok. However you were just spurting all the unresearched and unsupported or out of context lies that the people who DO condone it usually spout.
At the end of the day, while women tend to get the hard end of the stick abuse wise. It is not ALWAYS by men and it was almost NEVER legal (at least in the west, the middle east and east are a totally different matter).
Things will never be balanced in "the real world" because people are cruel by nature, both men and women. So measuring by the only "ideal" we can really hope to maintain (the law) men and women have been mostly equal for most of history and in places where they weren't it was counter balanced, women couldn't vote but also we given a lot more lenience in courts and other issues.
We can only hope to fix the law, otherwise bad people will always do bad things. - Sep 20, 2009, 10:37:00 PM
"Women are also the decision-makers. They control household finances and pass on their family name to their children. A family can be a clan of three generations of women and men directly related to each other. No person gets to own goods and property and no one accumulates more wealth than another. The relationship of father is not important and the mother, along with male members of her family, look after the children."
I think we're already close to this now. - Sep 21, 2009, 4:53:00 PM

The way I understand it you never put a UV light into ductboard. It would probably make it deteriorate faster I would think.... I don't know for sure though but I do remember reading that you are not supposed to use one with insulated flex... breaks down the plastic, I would think that it would have the same effect on the ductboard.
Don't rely on what I say though cuz I've never used ductboard.... and never will.

That is what I thought ,,it would break down the fiber board. Same as the sun shining on instafoam how it breaks it down. I cant seem to find any info any where on this. Any help????
I've never heard of UV lights to not be installed in ductboard. I've installed many in it.
Get back to work.
UV light will break down the polymers in flex and make duct board very brittle.

I only install metal duct. But when installing UV lights on existing systems, 99% of them are inch and a half ductboard, I assume this is better than one inch board when it comes to detioration from the UV light.
Get back to work.

Fortunately it would probably take years. And fortunately too UV lights don't last for years. When a customer is told that their UV is non-op, they realize that they didn't even miss it. Few care to pay to get it fixed. Or at least when I'm there that's the case.

On Wednesday, the Baseball Writers Association of America and the Hall of Fame will announce the results of the voting that decides which candidates will be enshrined in Cooperstown, N.Y., this year. It is one of the most significant Hall of Fame tabulations in recent memory.
Three major players associated with the steroid era — Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa — are among those who were on the ballot for the first time. Another was Mike Piazza, who had the greatest offensive numbers for a catcher but because he played in this era couldn't escape the steroid rumors. Ditto for second-year eligible Jeff Bagwell.
Cafardo posted a list of the Yankee core players and thinks they'll be a strong team, and then asked, "What am I missing?" Here are the answers: 1) His list of core players did NOT include A-Rod. Of course, that's because A-Rod doesn't belong on such a list anymore. But he WILL nevertheless play, because his bloated salary will give the Yankees no choice. Will he drag down the Yankees? We'll see. 2) Can Jeter come back from that horrible Achilles' injury? Even if it costs him only a half-step, it COULD be the half-step that transforms him from an All-Star to a Triple-AAA level player. And Jeter is not young anymore. 3) The same kind of question applies to Mariano Rivera, who will be older than his Jackie Robinson uniform number. 4) Will Granderson stop striking out so much? 5) Will Teixeira avoid his all-too-frequent April cold starts?
This comment has been removed.
Jim Bouton asked in his landmark 1970 classic "Ball Four," "Are greenies fabulous? Yes." Greenies were as universally and easily as M&M's and popped by players as frequently. OF COURSE they were "performance enhancing." For that matter, so too IS CORTISONE, allowing an expensive player to recover a LOT faster from an injury than he has a right to. According to Jose Canseco -- and who would know better? -- Bonds only became involved in steroids after he already had HoF credentials. Prior -- and even subsequent to that -- he got to where he was by being a gym rat, in the words of another man who would know, his own godfather Willie Mays. And, Bonds had, BY FAR, the greatest sense of the strike zone and plate discipline of any player in history since Ted Williams. He could go through an entire game without swinging even ONE time, because he had such astounding self-control and wouldn't swing at anything other than HIS pitch. Hell YES he belongs in the HoF

I support the idea of women in combat. We should always be striving for equality! But achieving this ideal is going to be more difficult than and take longer than many people realize.
The problem is outlined very well in this article. But the bottom line from my perspective is that until there is one physical requirement for each job, regardless of gender, then there is no equality. One standard for all or equality for none. If a person can meet the physical standard for Infantry then let them be in infantry.
Ron Paul says that Federal Agents should be disarmed for their use of force against citizens who are violating unconstitutional laws.
Got to love Ron Paul!

Lake County Probate Court Judge Ted Klammer dies at age 66
Local leaders remembered Lake County Probate Court Judge Ted Klammer fondly after his passing Wednesday morning.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office and Concord Fire Department responded to Klammer's Concord Township home at 8:32 a.m. after a family member called 911. He was transported to TriPoint Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Klammer's son, Randy Klammer, said his father came to the U.S. from Slovenia at age 5 as an only child. He then worked hard in factories and at bars to put himself through law school.
"My dad was nothing short of awesome," said Randy Klammer. "He was just a perfect dad."
Lake County court administrator Betsy Swindell described Ted Klammer, 66, as a hard-working judge who was dedicated to both the elderly and young people.
Whenever a young person would appear in his courtroom, Klammer would remind them to contact Swindell about the court's summer internship program, she said.
Klammer also occasionally brought in his German shepherd to work if he did not have to sit on the bench that day, Swindell added.
The dog would stay by his side all day, aside from roaming into the main office every once in a while looking for a bone, Swindell said with a laugh.
Lake Metroparks Commissioner Frank J. Polivka said Klammer understood the importance of the parks not only for the present, but the future as well.
"He really loved the parks and saw how much people appreciated them," Polivka said. Continued...
Before being elected probate judge in 2002, Klammer served on the park board for several years. His love of the parks fit perfectly with his role as probate judge, which oversees the parks and appoints its three-member board of commissioners.
"It's really a sad day," Polivka said. "It's a tremendous loss."
Klammer graduated from St. Joseph High School in Cleveland and then Bowling Green State University in 1967 before earning a juris doctorate degree from Cleveland State University's Marshall College of Law in 1970.
Klammer had served as probate judge since 2003 and lived in Lake County for more than 50 years, most recently in Concord Township. He and his wife Betty have two children, Randy and Lisa, who are both attorneys.
Lake County Commissioner Daniel Troy said he first met Klammer while he was a fourth-grader and Klammer was a sixth-grader at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School in Willowick. Troy was serving his first Mass as an altar boy and Klammer was his partner at the service.
"I was always impressed with Judge Klammer's concern with people less fortunate," Troy said. "He really fit into that probate court well."
Klammer also was passionate about the indigent guardian program, assuring that care givers were administering the proper help to those who could not care for themselves, Troy said.
And while the commissioners and Klammer had recent disagreements about courthouse flooding, Troy said there are always disagreements among family members.
"But no one wants to lose a family member ... and we lost a great family member today," the commissioner said.
Lake County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Gibson said Klammer was a dear friend and they had known each other for at least 30 years, going back to their time in private practice. Continued...
"It's a great loss to the judiciary, to the legal community as a whole and to all of Lake County," Gibson said.
He added that Klammer was perfect for the probate court.
"He always looked out for the little guy," Gibson said. "He gave me inspiration to do a lot of the things in my life."
Gibson also said Klammer would surely be "missed but not forgotten."
Prior to being elected probate judge, Klammer was the law director for the city of Eastlake, including for nearly 10 years with former Eastlake Mayor Dan DiLiberto.
"He was just one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet," DiLiberto said, adding Klammer always said exactly what he meant. "There was no one who stood by his integrity more than he did."
As law director, Klammer was essential in handling the complicated legal issues of bringing Classic Park to the city.
"He was one of the proudest people when we got it done," said DiLiberto by phone from his Florida home.
DiLiberto added that Klammer was responsible for keeping the different city leaders "on an even keel."
"We all turned to Ted for advice," he said. Continued...
According to Ohio law, a vacancy of a county court judge is filled by an appointment of the governor. The appointed judge would serve until a successor is elected.
Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor has assigned retired Stark County Probate Court Judge R.R. Denny Clunk for a three-month assignment in the Lake County Probate Court. In addition, sitting judges of the county Common Pleas Court will help cover the probate court docket until a judge is appointed by the governor, according to a Supreme Court news release.

Hot deal: HOTEL RATES MAY NOT BE A "DEAL", compare value!
- expires Wednesday
- Regular rate: $149
- Savings: 27%
- Discount rate: $109
There are lots of rates in New Orleans. Many major brand hotels are offering rooms as low as $99 per night (some even lower). Be sure to ask about the hidden costs before you book, however. Do they have free parking? Most charge $30 per day. Do they include a nice continental breakfast? If not, add $5.00 per person for coffee and a muffin at their place. How about free munchies, fresh fruit and and bottled water at night? That could add another $10.00 per person per day (try walking into their gift shop and just taking these items without paying!). And of course, there are the service and valet parking staff, who have to be tipped. That will add to your daily cost also. So the $99 hotel deal can become a $139-$159 per day cost plus tax. Our rate includes all of the free items and services above. Its a true rate you can count on. The Hot Deal rate for a traditional queen accommodation is $109 per night plus tax, weekdays. Slightly higher on the weekends. Give us a call for more information. Mention the "Hot Deal". We are the "no nickel and dime B&B". 1-800-490-8542 or http://tinyurl.com/bookavenueinnbb Some restrictions apply; three night minimum.

At the Float Summit Conference in 2011, Jim delivered this very valuable presentation about the importance of Epsom salts. The salts are dissolved into the water of an isolation tank and is what makes you float. Beyond this, the salts play a very important role in the floatation experience by relaxing the floater's muscles and transmitting needed minerals through the skin. Jim includes information on the history, supply and technical grades of Epsom salt, as well as the role of magnesium and sulfates (and sulfides) in the body. He also discusses the myriad health benefits of a salt soak, including lesser known but potentially very helpful uses: Jim's son suffers from autism and Jim related the anecdotal and clinical evidence supporting Epsom salt as an aide in autism cases.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
"Jakov Milicevic was a treat, a bundle of passion, a wealth of knowledge and man can he cycle! His smile and warm ways delighted all of us, each and every day."
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
"Top 5 Tips:
1. Don't miss out on going up the bell tower in Korcula
2. Beautiful walk not to missed in Split which give full coast views of the city,
only takes a couple hours and it's free
3. The grilled calamari and Croatia ice creams is a delight not to be missed
4. Take the time to stop at the vineyards whilst cycling to indulge in their local wines, so say the "whites" are better, but I loved the reds, and the Cherry Brandy is a treat too
5. If the fresh figs grow over onto the roadside they are free for picking and eating. Yummy!"

More than 250 students received degrees from Georgia Gwinnett College which was founded in 2006. The school in Lawrenceville held its winter commencement ceremony Thursday.
The college offers 12 majors with 40 different concentrations and students from over 90 countries are enrolled at the school.
School officials say Gwinnett County, northeast of Atlanta, was once the largest county east of the Mississippi River that was not home to a four-year college.
Lawrenceville is about 30 miles from Atlanta.

The 13.3" MacBook Air Notebook Computer from Apple is an extremely portable, stunningly designed laptop computer. Apple's engineers have leveraged the lessons they learned in designing the miniaturized iPad and applied them to the design of this 3-pound computer.
To say that the Air is svelte is all at once stating the obvious and understating the truth. The system is defined by its sleek lines and stunning aluminum enclosure. At its thickest point the computer is only 0.68" -- it tapers down to 0.11" at its thinnest.
The system is loaded with 256GB of SSD flash storage rather than an old-fashioned hard drive. Flash storage doesn't just give you a lighter, thinner computer. It also allows for impressive battery life -- up to 7 hours of web browsing and an amazing 30 days of standby time!
The MacBook Air is housed in an aluminum unibody enclosure, which is as strong as it is light. Because it is cut from a solid block of aluminum, the housing is stronger than those found on laptops built via traditional means.
The computer's high-resolution display makes working on the go a breeze. At 13.3" in size, the 16:10 display feature a native resolution of 1440 x 900 -- delivering the same amount of pixels as the standard 15.6" MacBook Pro! It features a glossy finish and LED backlight technology for enhanced image quality and energy efficiency.
Computers in the MacBook Air's weight class are most often classified in the "netbook" category. Netbooks typically feature less-than-full-size keyboards, cramped trackpads, and low-powered CPUs. Not so with the MacBook Air. This computer features a standard-size backlit chiclet keyboard, the same as on the larger computers in the MacBook line. It also boasts a large multi-touch glass trackpad, giving you full control over your computer -- without sacrificing ergonomics.
The computer is powered by a dual-core 1.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor and boasts 4GB of RAM. Graphics are provided by an integrated Intel GMA HD 3000 GPU. The computer features all the amenities you expect on a Mac -- a FaceTime webcam, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and built-in stereo speakers.
iLife '11, a complete suite of digital creativity applications, is installed on the system. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos, and compose original music.
The computer is loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.7 Lion operating system. The 64-bit OS features Time Machine backup, which automatically backs up system data to an external hard drive. It also features intuitive natural scrolling, the innovative Launchpad application launcher, and support for full screen applications. Mission Control combines the functionality of Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces -- giving you a bird's eye view of everything that is happening on your computer.
Lion also adds Auto Save to your Mac, ensuring that you won't lose data if you forget to save a file. The OS tracks different versions of your documents, so you can go back to a previous draft of a document with ease. AirDrop makes it easy to transmit files wirelessly between computers, even if there is no central Wi-Fi network available. The revamped Mail application takes full advantage of modern widescreen displays.
And of course, you can expand the functionality of your computer system by browsing through the multitude of productivity applications, games, and other software that is available for purchase from the Mac App Store. Because the software in the store is curated by Apple, you can be sure that it is free of malware and safe to use. And, like the iOS App Store, you'll automatically be notified when updated versions of your favorite programs are available for download.

Here are the Ten States Where the Most People Blow Themselves Up Frying Turkeys on Thanksgiving:
According to State Farm insurance, fire departments are called to at least 1,000 MAJOR FIRES or EXPLOSIONS because of turkey frying accidents every Thanksgiving. And those fires cause more than $15 MILLION in property damage.
From 2007 through last year, the state where the most people BLEW THEMSELVES UP or set themselves or their house on fire during turkey frying was . . . Texas.
The rest of the top 10 states with the most turkey frying disasters are: Illinois, New York, Ohio, Florida, California, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and South Carolina.
State Farm also says the number one thing you can do to avoid starting an accidental turkey frying fire is to cook a safe distance away from your home . . . DON'T set up the fryer in your garage or on your patio.
A Woman in California Delivered Her Baby at a Gas Station . . . and Named it "Shell":
Around 6:30 P.M. on Friday, 27-year-old Kimberly Thomas of Oakland, California was rushing to the hospital to deliver a baby. Her boyfriend was driving, but the baby couldn't wait.
As they were driving through a neighborhood called Knowland Park, the baby started coming out, so Kimberly's boyfriend pulled into a Shell gas station. And right there, in the parking lot, Kimberly gave birth.
Fortunately for her, three police officers were at the station and ran over to help. And one of them was a former nursing assistant.
Kimberly gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and named him . . . Knowland Shell. Because, yeah, she gave birth to him at a Shell station in Knowland Park.
Police are Looking For a Woman Who Beat Up Her Boyfriend With a Bong:
On Sunday, in Bellingham, Washington, a 28-year-old woman got into an argument with her 31-year-old boyfriend . . . and ended up attacking him with their BONG.
During the fight she SPAT on her boyfriend, then picked up their eight-inch glass bong and smashed it over his head. He suffered a nasty cut.
The police believe they'd been drinking before the fight. There's no word if they were smoking too . . . but this sounds more like an alcohol-fueled fight than a marijuana-fueled one.
The woman took off after the fight. The police are still looking for her.
Police Catch a Criminal When He Jumps a Fence, Accidentally Lands on a Trampoline, and Bounces Right Back To Them:
Earlier this week, in a city in Western Australia called Geraldton, police were chasing a drunk 17-year-old who'd stolen a scooter.
And as the guy ran from them, he jumped over a fence into a random backyard. But he didn't realize the family who lived there had a TRAMPOLINE.
And when he jumped the fence, he landed on the trampoline . . . and bounced right back over the fence into the cops' arms. They grabbed him and arrested him.
He was arrested on seven charges, ranging from theft to drunk driving to operating a scooter without a helmet.

A Depiction Of Love And Reality
What's the future about? Acclaimed experts Terri and Gary know!
As you know, Terri & Gary have been doing a lot lately. You may have heard of their latest fantastic game-changing business consultation advice tapes, or maybe you caught wind of their incredible spiritual celebrity consultations on the news. Either way, you're probably asking yourself: How can I get some of that? Easy….Go to their ground-breaking art exhibition at THIS Los Angeles.
The focus of their inaugural art opening, A DEPICTION OF LOVE AND REALITY, is two fold: Help (mainly concerned with the self) and Love (primarily found through the phone). There is also a touch of the more familiar work of this non-stop power-duo, the ever-present postcard subscriptions and their patented weapons of "passive-aggression". Manipulating second hand objects of self-improvement and self-gratification, T&G present an innovative way of reinterpreting these narcissistic industries. Working together to create thought provoking installations from the debris of human excess and insecurity, T&G hope to bring you a new and vital experience with your own reality.
Terri & Gary: Helping you re-think the way you thought you think!

What a great night I had yesterday. I got home just in time to see the New York Rangers defeat the Ottawa Senators in game 7. I also found out that my favorite show currently on television, Fringe, has been renewed for a 5th and final season on Fox.
Onto a few thoughts:
- I love the NFL, but can't really get into the draft like others can. Even in years where my team drafts later on, I don't find it all that compelling to watch. It made it even worse when I knew several months ago who the Colts were going to draft. I haven't seen video of the announcement, and have no desire to. The draft is great for the NFL, ESPN, NFL Network, and the fans who watch…but it is not for me.
- Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd was picked up by the Arizona Cardinals. If they could get a high quality QB, they would be sitting great with two outstanding receivers to throw the ball to. A tandem of Larry Fitzgerald and Floyd could prove deadly.
- NHL Playoffs, round 2, begins tonight with Phoenix hosting Nashville. Two hot goaltenders from the previous round could mean several tight games. Nashville is better though and they win in 5. I'll also take St. Louis over Los Angeles in 5, New York Rangers over Washington in 6, and Philadelphia over the New Jersey Devils in 7.
- Community spoofed Law and Order on NBC last night and it was simply amazing. As a fan of L&O for years, it was incredible how detailed this episode was. Everything from the intro to the one-liners and the detectives/D.A at the hot-dog stand was well done. This was a gem of an episode. I now have a problem with where to place this episode all time. It surpasses the pillow/blanket fort documentary but was it better than the timeline episode? Tough call.
- All has been pretty quiet on the gaming front lately. Nothing of too much interest, from my perspective, has been happening.

Don Covay
Geno Washington
Initially stationed in England for the Air Force during the early '60s, American soul shouter Geno Washington fronted a British group known as the Ram Jam Band for a series of moderate U.K. chart hits during 1966-1967. Though he was born in Indiana, Washington had the grit of a deep soul testifier like Wilson Pickett or Don Covay. While stationed in East Anglia, Washington became known as a frequent stand-in at gigs around London. When guitarist Pete Gage saw him at a club in 1965, he asked Washington to join his new group with bassist John Roberts, drummer Herb Prestige, organist Jeff Wright, Lionel Kingham on tenor sax, and Buddy Beadle on baritone.
Geno Washington stayed in England after his release from the Air Force, and the band earned notice around the Southeast for an infectious live show that packed dozens of up-tempo R&B/soul nuggets into a half-hour. Signed to Piccadilly by early 1966, the group just broke into the Top 40 with "Water." Though it was their highest-charting single, Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band hit the charts three times in the next year with "Hi-Hi Hazel," a cover of "Que Sera Sera," and "Michael." The band's first two LPs "Hand Clappin' Foot Stompin' Funky-Butt...Live!" and "Hipsters, Flipsters, Finger-Poppin' Daddies!" were much better documents of the band at work, and both hit the British Top Ten. Still, Geno Washington recorded only two more albums with the Ram Jam Band before splitting by 1970. Gage went on to join Vinegar Joe, while Washington returned in 1976 with Geno's Back! Four years later, Washington earned his only number one hit (of a sort), when Dexys Midnight Runners took the tribute track "Geno" to the top of the charts. He recorded another LP (Put Out the Cat) in 1981, and continued to tour sporadically during the '80s and '90s, often incorporating a blues stance as well as a hypnotism act.

Accurate benchmarking of security solutions is critical to users' decision making. Today, many third-party tests show composite scores that do not allow the user to identify where in the kill chain the protection is provided. As such, Trend Micro has been advocating for a more detailed approach to testing in the industry, that is, to break out the different layers of these tests and thereby identify effectiveness at each layer.
A single malicious server may serve up an infinite number of malicious files during its lifetime. As such, blocking the source of infection is a far better option than waiting to identify each file served up by the server at the endpoint. By blocking the source of the infection using IP, Domain and Web Reputation technologies benefits the user in a number of ways:
To highlight the differences between many of our industry competitors, we look at results recently published by independent testing lab, Veszprog. Among the battery of tests Veszprog performs are endpoint exposure (V-7A) and infection layer (V7-B) tests.
In the first test, Trend Micro blocks three quarters of the threats at their source–the URL–whereas our competitors only block on average one quarter of the threats (figure 1). Test V-7B shows where our competitors focus their threat protection today–on the endpoint. Trend Micro increases detection 10% beyond that of the exposure layer, whereas the average from the competitive products added 42% detection (figure 2).
This means instead of blocking the malware at its source, these competitors rely on on-device scanning techniques (signature, heuristics, behavior scanning) to identify most of the threats. This is a key differentiator in the ability to protect customers from new threats as well as minimizing the impact on resources for customer's devices.
Additionally, Veszprog's tests on browser exploits and phishing, V-6 and V-8, showcase Trend Micro's leadership in blocking at the infection layer.
Global threat intelligence derived from our cloud-based detection and correlation technologies, and custom data mining tools, allows us to respond to today's volume, variety, and velocity of threats efficiently and effectively.
Trend Micro was the top performer in PC Security Labs' unique assessment of endpoint security products for Windows 8. They evaluated five vendors against Microsoft's free Windows Defender and rated their effectiveness based on user type. Read the March 2013 report
Trend Micro was the top-rated company in the September 2012 AV-Comparatives "Whole Product Dynamic Real World Protection Test"
Source: AV-Comparatives
The mission of endpoint protection is to defend users against exploits and malware when a patch is not available or has not yet been applied. NSS Labs conducted tests on 13 popular consumer antivirus products, to see how well they repelled attacks on systems not yet patched for the CVE-2012-1875 and CVE-2012-1889 Microsoft vulnerabilities uncovered in June and July 2012.
Trend Micro was one of only 4 of the 13 products to block all attacks. According to NSS Labs, "Exploit prevention remains a challenge for most products."
Source: NSS Labs
For three consecutive quarters, Trend Micro has ranked first in Opus One anti-spam tests against eight leading security vendors including Barracuda Networks, Cisco, Google, McAfee, Microsoft, Proofpoint, Sophos, and Symantec.
Opus One's methodology relies on actual corporate mail streams, manually analyzed for threats, providing significant real-world results, unlike results obtained through automated tests based on artificial mail streams.
The smartphone has become a universal tool valued for its productivity and fun factor but hated for the problems it can bring. Malware targeting Google's Android platform increased from 1,000 to 350,000 in just one year. What had been around 30,000 malicious and potentially dangerous or high-risk Android apps in June increased to almost 175,000 between July and September, and the number of malicious and high-risk Android apps is expected to reach at least 350,000 by the end of 2012.
In AV-Test's November 2012 benchmarking of 25 mobile security solutions, Trend Micro™ Mobile Security Personal Edition excelled. Trend Micro Mobile Security rated high in both Android malware and potentially unwanted programs.
