Defending champion Carl Pettersson got tournament week started with a ceremonial tee shot from the 18th fairway into the Calibogue Sound.
Pettersson worried how the replica 19th-century club would perform, but it worked just fine as his shot was timed perfectly with the ceremony's traditional cannon blast.
"I was actually wondering if I was going to get (the ball) airborne," Pettersson said. "I did alright - put a little fade on it out there."
Tournament security took center stage on a day the players filled the course for their practice rounds.
Heritage and Sea Pines Resort officials said the tournament would be safe for players and spectators, though they did not give specifics on their security measures after Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.
In the morning, Callaway outfitted four wounded veteran for complementary sets of clubs on the practice range.
"I guess my game finally got bad enough," joked Ed Salau, who lost his left leg in Iraq during a 2004 attack.
On the final warm-up day, Brandt Snedeker and Jason Day told reporters how they intended to move past their disappointing finishes last week at the Masters.
Both players hoped playing the very next week on Hilton Head would put Augusta National out of their minds.
"Getting down here is very therapeutic," Snedeker said. "Being here with the family and enjoying the island and enjoying being down here. By the time I tee up on Thursday it will be long lost memory."
Dr. Nelson Carswell, 83, of Dublin, Ga., played in his 45th Heritage pro-am. He is the only person who has participated in the pro-am every year.
Brian Davis fired a 6-under par 65 to hold a one-shot lead at the end of the first round.
Davis is well-known at Harbour Town, but maybe not for the reason he would like. He lost a 2010 playoff to Jim Furyk after he called a two-stroke penalty on himself.
The Englishman wanted to give local golf fans another reason to remember him. Australians Marc Leishman and Jason Day, who contended throughout the Masters, were lurking two shots behind him.
" I'd like to do something else in this tournament, so I don't get remembered just for that (penalty)," Davis said.
While Davis fell back to the pack with a difficult round, a trio of players surged into the lead at 6 under: Kevin Streelman, Charley Hoffman and Steve LeBrun.
The schedule was kind to them, as the wind picked up in the afternoon and an evening storm led officials to suspend play at 6:15 p.m. The weather was clear enough at noon, though, for Boeing to have a flyover with its 747.
Seventeen players were on the course when play was stopped. They returned to their positions before 8 a.m. Saturday to complete the second round, with the third round to follow.
Players worried more wind would make for tough conditions over the weekend.
"When you get a 30-mile-an-hour wind gust at the wrong time, it can hurt you," Streelman said. "Those par 3s with water and the pin positions, it's going to be difficult."
After second-round play was completed early in the day, 91 players wound up making the cut. That set a Heritage record and was the highest number in a PGA Tour event since the 1981 Travelers Championship.
When the third round got underway, Hoffman shot 5 under to take a two-shot lead over Webb Simpson into Sunday.
A Las Vegas resident, Hoffman welcomed a forecast that called for heavy wind in the final round.
"I usually hit the ball solid and control it better in the wind," Hoffman said. "I say bring on the wind."
Streelman was alone in third place at 8 under. Graeme McDowell and Brendon de Jonge were tied for fourth at 7 under.
The wind lived up to its billing, making for difficult scoring conditions.
Few players scored in the 60s, but McDowell was one of them with a 2-under 69. It was enough to pull him into a tie with Simpson at the end of regulation, while Hoffman had faltered.
McDowell and Simpson went back to the 18th tee for a one-hole playoff. McDowell won the match-up of U.S. Open Champions, with a tap-in birdie putt clinching the title.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has all but given up on the Championship title after a dramatic comeback against Birmingham earned his side a sixth draw in seven home matches.
Ricardo Vaz Te rescued a point for the Hammers, who were 3-1 down at half-time, with an 89th minute penalty.
But leaders Saints are now six points clear of the third-placed Irons with four games to go.
And Allardyce knows he needs the table-toppers to do his men a big favour by beating Reading at St Mary's this Friday.

In this article we will see how to encode video files and add Markers and Thumbnails using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4.0. After encoding the media, we will use it an ASP.NET web site. Microsoft Expression Encoder replaces Windows Media Encoder and simplifies publishing video to Microsoft Silverlight.
The first step is to create an ASP.NET web site. To create a ASP.NET web site, open Visual Studio 2010. Click on File > New > Web Site. Choose 'ASP.NET Web Site' and call it 'ExpressionEncoderDemo' as shown below -
Now let's open Microsoft Expression Encoder 4.0 and choose 'Silverlight Project' as shown below-
Once you create a 'Silverlight Project', let's import a video file which you want to encode. For this demonstration, I am importing a video file called 'Lake.wmv' from my local drive. To import the file, go to the File menu and click on import as shown below -
Once you import the video, your screen should look similar to the following -
Now let's take an overview of the items we will be using for our demonstration -
1) First Part is the Slider - Using this Slider, you can capture different frames of the video.
2) Second Part is highlighted with a yellow border – This is used for going to the Previous or Next Edit or Marker. You can go to Next or Previous frame or you can even Play/Pause the video.
3) Third part is highlighted with red borders – This is used to insert the video at the beginning or end of the main video.
Now go to the Window Menu and click on the 'Metadata' and 'Output' menu. Both the window will look like the following -
The Metadata window is used to add the markers with the Thumbnails and Output window is used to store the completed encoding with thumbnails. In the Output window, choose a Custom radio button to add custom thumbnails. Also change the image format from jpeg to png and check the checkbox to Embed Thumbnail.
Now let's start by adding few markers in our 'Lake' video. To add a marker, we first need to move the slider (Orange Color) to a particular time and then click the (+) button shown in above image. Check the checkbox called Thumbnail and name the marker as 'Chapt1' as shown below -
Now add a couple of Markers in the video after some intervals. Your Marker window will look like this after adding all the markers -
After this, you have to change the Media template. The reason is thumbnails are available only with a few templates. So go to the 'Template' window and choose the 'Black Glass' template as shown below -
Now you will have to encode the video. In the 'Sources' window, right click the video and click on 'Encode Selected Item' as shown below -
Save your job. Now go to the location where the encoded video is available. The default path on my machine is 'C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Expression\Expression Encoder\Output'.
This is how your output will look like -
Open the folder and you will see all the Thumbnails, Video, .XAP files and a html page 'Default.html'. Now let's copy all the files and go to our web site 'ExpressionEncoderDemo'. Add a new folder under the web site with the name 'EncoderDemo'. Paste all the files under that folder.
Now browse the 'Default.html' page and click on the Start button as shown below -
Once you start the Media Player, you will see a button 'Toggle Chapter List'. Click the button and you will see the Thumbnails (depending on the markers) on the top -
Now by selecting any of the chapters, you can play the video from that time interval.
Summary - In this tutorial we have seen how to encode a video file, add markers and thumbnails using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4.0 and embed the same in our ASP.NET web site.

The most common concern for federal IT security professionals is regulatory compliance, according to nCircle's recently released 2012 Federal Information Security Initiatives Trend Study.
The results indicate misplaced priorities, said Karen Cummins, nCircle's director of federal markets. "If you pick compliance, that suggests we're a little out of balance," she said. Agencies are expected to have risk-based security policies and controls in place to help counter the growing threat of online attacks. But despite changes in the way the Federal Information Security Management Act is being implemented, success still is being measured by reporting rather than by results.
The Homeland Security Department has been given primary responsibility for overseeing FISMA and the emphasis has shifted from periodic assessment to continuous monitoring of IT systems. And "continuous monitoring" is being replaced by the term "continuous diagnostics and mitigation," which Cummins said better reflects the goals of the program. This is to be enabled by automated data streams, which are fed to DHS through its Cyberscope reporting system.
Automated data streams can be powerful tools for risk remediation, but what is being measured is the ability to report the data to DHS rather than its use within an agency. As a result, "the new FISMA looks a lot like the old FISMA," Cummins said.
With the inability of the current Congress to pass cybersecurity legislation, FISMA reform has depended instead on shifts in enforcement by DHS and the Office of Management and Budget. "It really has evolved in a very significant way," Cummins said. But FISMA metrics that continue to focus on agency compliance rather than on results still can inhibit progress in securing federal IT systems.

Unfortunately organizations will focus on what the MUST do rather than spend money trying to mitigate risks against threats that they can't quantify. Until we can either quantify threats or provide a radically better process for qualifying probability of threats, there will never be enough budget to do what most people call "enough" security. When will we have honest open discussions of threat? Will we ever be able to address threat probability (which is the keystone of measuring risk)? Is that even possible... Most High Impact attacks started as Low Probability (in the minds of CFO/CEO), but those black swan events were the ones that really hurt the organization.

As social media has permanently changed companies' communication and marketing practices, it has become increasingly important for brands to hire a social media guru who can manage multiple social media platforms in a professional, yet engaging way.
And that's exactly who Pizza Hut is seeking for its new social media position, dubbed the "manager of digital greatness."
But what's more, Pizza Hut is conducting interviews for the position in an unconventional format. Modeled after Twitter's character restriction, candidates will have 140 seconds or less to market themselves for the position at this weekend's South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival.
"Digital is a huge focus for Pizza Hut in 2013," says Caroline Masullo, Pizza Hut's director of digital and social marketing. "We're specifically looking for people who are quick on their feet, know who they are, [and are] passionate about pizza and [about] Pizza Hut specifically.
"From our perspective, [140 seconds] gives us the opportunity to talk to as many people as we possibly can, because every couple minutes we'll be on to the next," she adds. "So for us, it's just a way to reach as many people as possible."
The "manager of digital greatness," or manager of digital media, must be someone who is an expert on all social media platforms, continuously keeps up with digital trends, holds a bachelor's degree, and has five or more years of experience in marketing, digital advertising, or a related field.
In addition to these qualifications, Masullo says the ideal candidate will also be decisive, able to work in a fast-paced environment, and fun, to match Pizza Hut's culture.
"A lot of people have been asking us if they think this type of interview process will catch on," Masullo says. "Obviously, I think [for] consumers, this is the way that they talk in their normal lives in terms of using social media—the way they communicate with brands. So for us to use this space in order to find someone who will fill that role here, we think it's super appropriate."
Pizza Hut has more than 10 million "likes" on Facebook; has the most Twitter followers out of all pizza brands; and is present and active on Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, and other social platforms.
The interviews will take place at the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, March 10 from 1 to 5 p.m.
For those who can't make it to the festival, 140-second interviews will also be conducted through a Google Plus Hangout on March 14 from 1 to 3 p.m.
"We've never done something like this before, nor has any other brand," Masullo says. "We're kind of the pioneers, and we're really excited about it."

LODI - Lodi and its firefighters are celebrating the $400,000 purchase of two South Cherokee Lane parcels that are tabbed for development of a new Fire Station No. 2.
LODI - Lodi and its firefighters are celebrating the $400,000 purchase of two South Cherokee Lane parcels that are tabbed for development of a new Fire Station No. 2.
Escrow on the 1-acre former used car lot at South Cherokee Lane and Oak Street closed Dec. 31 and marks the beginning of what will be a minimum one-year development process to replace the mold-ridden and dilapidated Fire Station No. 2 at 705 E. Lodi Ave.
The total project will cost about $3 million, City Manager Rad Bartlam said.
"The process for design and construction is about a year, but what I don't want to do is try and build in the winter, so we may be in a situation where it will take a little longer," Bartlam said.
Fire Station No. 2, built in 1981, has long been considered an outdated facility that was in disrepair and posed health dangers of black mold and rodents.
City Council members toured the station in 2010, a time when a new $68,000 roof was proposed on the building, to find out just how poor the condition of the building was.
"We wanted them out of there as soon as possible," City Councilwoman JoAnne Mounce said. "The risk to employees was too great to keep them there. I'm so thrilled that we are finally getting the ball rolling on this."
Bartlam and City Attorney Steve Schwabauer started a search for potential locations to develop a new fire station at that time. One negotiation fell through, causing a delay in the timing. The South Cherokee Lane lots, sold by Geweke Land Development and Marketing L.P., offer a comparable location on a major street just a half-mile from the current Fire Station No. 2.
"We wish it would have happened faster, but there were a lot of factors," Lodi firefighter and union president Brad Doell said. "The city has been working really hard on this, and the delay was not their fault."
Doell said firefighters stationed at Fire Station No. 2 are happy to leave the poor conditions of the current facility. The city is negotiating to place a modular building on the Lodi Avenue site while construction on Cherokee Lane is ongoing. Doell said the reason a modular building wasn't used sooner is because if the city had decided to tear down the current station and rebuild, the temporary facility would have been in the way.
The South Cherokee lot is just north of Oak Street on the east side of the four-lane street, which has a wide landscaped median. Bartlam said city engineers are working at potential fire lanes to allow proper north and southbound access for fire trucks to move in and out of the new station.
"All things considered, I think this is the best location to move to," council member Larry Hansen said.

Plack::Middleware::AccessLog - Logs requests like Apache's log format
# in app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
builder {
enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", format => "combined";
Plack::Middleware::AccessLog forwards the request to the given app and logs request and response details to the logger callback. The format can be specified using Apache-like format strings (or
combined or
common for the default formats). If none is specified
combined is used.
This middleware uses calculable Content-Length by checking body type, and cannot log the time taken to serve requests. It also logs the request before the response is actually sent to the client. Use Plack::Middleware::AccessLog::Timed if you want to log details after the response is transmitted (more like a real web server) to the client.
This middleware is enabled by default when you run plackup as a default
development environment.
- format
enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", format => '%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-agent}i"';
Takes a format string (or a preset template
custom) to specify the log format. This middleware implements a subset of Apache's LogFormat templates:
%% a percent sign %h REMOTE_ADDR from the PSGI environment, or - %l remote logname not implemented (currently always -) %u REMOTE_USER from the PSGI environment, or - %t [local timestamp, in default format] %r REQUEST_METHOD, REQUEST_URI and SERVER_PROTOCOL from the PSGI environment %s the HTTP status code of the response %b content length %T custom field for handling times in subclasses %D custom field for handling sub-second times in subclasses %v SERVER_NAME from the PSGI environment, or - %V HTTP_HOST or SERVER_NAME from the PSGI environment, or - %p SERVER_PORT from the PSGI environment %P the worker's process id %m REQUEST_METHOD from the PSGI environment %U PATH_INFO from the PSGI environment %q QUERY_STRING from the PSGI environment %H SERVER_PROTOCOL from the PSGI environment
Some of these format fields are only supported by middleware that subclasses
In addition, custom values can be referenced, using
%{name}, with one of the mandatory modifier flags
%{variable-name}i HTTP_VARIABLE_NAME value from the PSGI environment %{header-name}o header-name header %{time-format]t localtime in the specified strftime format
- logger
my $logger = Log::Dispatch->new(...); enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", logger => sub { $logger->log(level => 'debug', message => @_) };
Sets a callback to print log message to. It prints to the
psgi.errorsoutput stream by default.

Mt. Hood Meadows has kicked off a public outreach program to explain its conceptual plans for a new destination resort.
Dave Riley, general manager, said community members are being asked to comment on a variety of options for expanding the Cooper Spur Mountain Resort facilities. He said Meadows has spent the last two years working with hydrologists, wildlife specialists and landscape architects to design the project. He now wants feedback on the preliminary plans that can be incorporated into the final application.
"We are engaged in a long term effort to develop a proposal for Cooper Spur which balances the social, economic and environmental elements of the resort," Riley said.
Presentations on the possible options are scheduled for the evenings of Tuesday through Thursday, July 8-10 and July 15-17. Attendance at each program is by advance reservation only and seating will be limited to 25 individuals. Riley said the group size is being kept relatively small to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session. He said more meetings can be scheduled if necessary to accomodate interested groups or individuals.
"Our desire is to involve the community in the process of determining what we ultimately propose," Riley said.
For example, he told about 20 audience members at the first public forum on Tuesday that Meadows had heard their concerns about building within the Crystal Springs Watershed. He said no structures would be placed within that boundary but the company had determined that ski trails would be appropriate about four miles from the spring. Riley said that decision was based on the fact that hundreds of acres of timber were routinely harvested within one-half mile of the spring without causing harm. In addition, he said there appeared to be no pollutants from 22 vacation homes that were served by a single septic system within a one mile radius.
Riley said the resort would be housed somewhere on the 160 private acres that Meadows purchased from Dan Dillard in 2001. He said that land has already been heavily logged and is not classified as a wilderness area. In fact, Riley said the Cooper Spur Ski Area permit within the Mt. Hood National Forest allows the operation to cover 1,400 acres, although only 50 acres are currently in use. He said the permit area comprises one-tenth of one percent of the 1,063,450 acres of National Forest. Riley said 80 percent of the public land is already under special protection and the five ski areas on Mt. Hood's slopes make up less than one percent of its overall land mass.
In spite of the existing vast open areas, Riley said Meadows' heard citizen concerns about wildlife passage through the resort. He said 300-foot-wide corridors will be replanted along Buck, Doe and Tilly Jane creeks. According to Riley, the company was willing to re-create a "welcome path" for big game even though none of the property had been designated as a significant travel zone.
To help the project blend well with its surroundings, Riley said building heights would probably be limited to three stories.
In addition, he said the exterior would be naturalized with wood and stone.
According to Riley, many of the suggestions for the preliminary design have come from a cross-section of residents who have agreed to serve as an advisory panel during the past few months.
"We have asked the same thing of our community advisory group — if something were to be developed, then what should it include and how should it look?" said Riley.
He hopes the upcoming meetings will allow the community to become excited about the new resort, especially since local contractors will share in the $120 million of construction cost.
He said the development is expected to provide more than 200 full-time jobs, at least half of which will pay an hourly wage of $12 or more.
The property taxes are also estimated to provide more than $1 million annually for public education.
"It's a significant economic engine for a county that has such high unemployment rates," Riley said.
For more information on Meadows' planned project, or to schedule a seat at one of the community meetings, call Stu Watson at 386-8860 or 386-8870.

The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by Stephen C. Johnson, written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain. PCC debuted in Unix Version 7 and replaced the DMR compiler (Dennis Ritchie's original C compiler) in both System V and the BSD 4.x releases. Some history about pcc is in the [A History of UNIX before Berkeley: UNIX Evolution: 1975-1984](http://www.darwinsys.com/history/hist.html) and in the [Evolution of C](http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/c_evolution.html). A copy of S. C. Johnson's and Donn Seeley's 1978 ``A Tour Through the Portable C Compiler'' is available in [HTML](http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/porttour/porttour.html), [Postscript](http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/porttour/porttour.ps.gz) or [PDF](http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/porttour/porttour.pdf). (For current pcc internal documentation, see the [[internals]] wiki page.) About 50% of the frontend code and 80% of the [[backend|internals]] code has been rewritten. Most stuff is written by Anders Magnusson, with the exception of the data-flow analysis part and the SSA conversion code which is written by Peter A Jonsson, and the Mips port that were written as part of a project by undergraduate students at Luleaa University of Technology (LTU). It was publicly announced to the NetBSD community on September 14, 2007. Shortly later it was imported to the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and pkgsrc source trees. custom research paper On January 27, 2008, the version was increased to 0.9.9 as pcc supported C99 language constructs.

And no, you shouldn't look at the back of it. :)
Whenever I talk to anyone about looking at the computer monitor for a longer period of time everyone thinks i'm nuts when i say i can look at it for 12 hours straight with no problem at all.
After that statement I get the usual dose of: "You're such a geek!", "Sure way to ruin your eyesight!" and "Don't you have a life?" replies.
Just to set things straight: "Yes I'm a geek with a touch of Nerd and proud of it!", "Not really.", "Yes I do have a life. It just gets put on hold sometimes." :)
I then ask people how exactly are they looking at their monitor?
And i get this description for a reply:
Isn't that a nice picture? Just look how that head smiles. Bet you it won't be smiling after 8 hours of that kind of looking!
Then i go on explaining how you should be looking:
See now this head will keep smiling even after 8+ hours!
The key here is that when you're looking straight you should see the top of your monitor. Then tilt it a bit upwards like shown on the picture.
This way you have to look down to the monitor.
Looking down means your eyelids can keep the top half of your eye closed, which means half of your eye muscles are relaxed,
which means only half of your eye is drying out, which means longer optimal operation at the same cost.
ROI (Return on Investment) on this is like 10.000.000.000.000.000.000 % (10 trillion). :))
If you're reading this blog then your eyes are your most precious resource.
Keep them relaxed!

October 26, 2016 - The Chamber of Litigation
August 22, 2016 - Comments to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Forced Arbitration
March 4, 2016
- Forced Arbitration Letter to the Department of Education
Most Americans don't know that they are bound by forced arbitration. Buried in the fine print of employment, cell phone, credit card, retirement account, home building, and nursing home contracts are mandatory arbitration clauses. Just by taking a job or buying a product or service, individuals are forced to give up their right to go to court if they are harmed by a company. Because the private system of forced arbitration benefits companies – and disadvantages consumers and employees – more and more industries are using forced arbitration to evade accountability.
In arbitration, there is no judge, jury or right to an appeal. The arbitrators do not have to follow the law, and there is no public review of decisions to ensure the arbitrator got it right. Moreover, contracts typically name the arbitration firm that must be used – the one preferred by the company.
People who have been harmed by fraud, predatory lending, discrimination, negligence, defective products or scams should not be forced into arbitration: they should have a choice.

Her Turn
"Our daughter's illness has left my marriage in shambles," said Leigh, 28, a former model and stay-at-home mom who's been married to Sean, 30, the owner of a computer graphics company, for six years. "Our twins, Stacy and Suzanne, now almost 3, were born prematurely. While Suzanne was healthy, Stacy had weak lungs and severe respiratory problems. That first year, we made five middle-of-the-night runs to the ER because she couldn't breathe and was turning blue. Even though Stacy is out of danger now, I still have nightmares about the baby in the incubator next to her who died while we were at the hospital.
"Sean was very attentive when Stacy's health problems were acute, but for the last year or so, he's been more interested in his work than his family. He's left me with the bulk of the housework and childcare. Just having to think of everything that has to be done is exhausting. I don't like having to ask all the time if he could put in a load of laundry or pick up juice at the store. And when he does help out, he acts like he's doing me a big favor. I wish that just once he'd do something — take the girls shopping for new shoes, schedule a doctor's appointment — without waiting for specific instructions.
"I haven't had a full night's sleep in three years. Stacy still has chronic respiratory infections — she sees her pediatrician and an allergist once a month — and she frequently wakes up in the middle of the night screaming. The doctors say she's traumatized from her experiences and that she'll settle down. In the meantime, I have both girls sleeping on futons next to our bed. Naturally, this has all but killed our sex life, which Sean complains about bitterly. I don't love it either, but I'm not going to take the chance I won't hear my daughter if she starts crying, or worse, choking.
"Lately, I've seen a whole new side of Sean. He speaks in a flippant, sarcastic tone, making me feel like an idiot for worrying too much about Stacy. He balks when I set limits that I believe are in my daughters' best interests, such as not allowing them to go to birthday parties or have play dates. I just don't like Stacy to be in places where there are lots of other kids who can make her sicker than she already is. Sean says I'm overreacting, but the fact is that a simple cold often means a hospital stay for Stacy. Recently, we got into an ugly argument because he took the girls for ice cream. Stacy is on a strict diet — no dairy, wheat, or sugar — because she has a bunch of allergies. Why is he sabotaging it?
"Sean is a wonderful father, when he wants to be. He owns a computer graphics company, and he's taken on extra projects because he's worried about finances. But that means either he's at the office late, or he's buried himself in the den with his charts and graphs. Last week, he came home from the office early and he expected, I suppose, to be welcomed with open arms. Well, I was trying to make dinner, and I admit I wasn't particularly charming. Sean went into the den, and later, when the girls were fed and bathed, I came in to talk. But he told me I was interrupting his work. One weekend, when I assumed we were going to be doing things as a family, he actually took off by himself on a four-hour bike ride!
"I want him to be more involved with me and the girls. I hardly knew my own father; he moved to Oklahoma City after my parents divorced when I was 5. My two sisters and I lived with my mother, a boutique owner in New York City; she remarried and divorced again before I graduated from high school. I stayed in New York and started a modeling career; that's when I met my first husband. Soon after our divorce three years later, I met Sean at a tennis clinic in Colorado where he worked. It was love at first sight. I ended up staying in Colorado for two weeks. When I returned to New York, we talked every night and I flew to Colorado on weekends. Six months later, we were married. I moved to Denver and we settled into a wonderful life. We both love the outdoors, so we'd ski, mountain bike, and hike. We both wanted a family, but I had several miscarriages. When I finally conceived, we were thrilled. Life was perfect. But when the twins were born, everything changed. The big question is, Can we ever get it back?"
His Turn
"I know this marriage is meant to be," said Sean, who is fit and tan with dark hair and deep brown eyes, "but we're having a very hard time now. Leigh and I used to talk for hours. We could be on a desert island and not need another soul. I know children turn your life upside down, but I feel there's absolutely no room in Leigh's life for me anymore. She's totally wrapped up with the girls.
"Leigh lives in a state of nonstop worry, and her craziness makes me crazy. The doctors have said that while we have to be careful about Stacy, we shouldn't be paranoid. Yes, Stacy still has some problems, but they are minor and our life could go back to normal if Leigh would just let it. The girls deserve a normal childhood; as parents, we need to back off and let them have it. Whenever I try to tell Leigh this, she doesn't hear a word I say. She makes it sound as if I don't care about her or our children. She tells only part of the story.
That bike ride that she makes such a big deal about? Once, when I was really stressed, I grabbed my bike and went riding. I love biking and never get to do it anymore. Leigh makes it sound like I abandoned her for the whole weekend.
"It's amazing that she thinks I ignore her because, basically, I feel she's not there for me. We never make love anymore and hardly even talk about anything other than the twins. The time I told her she was interrupting, I was really upset because she'd just barked at me for some reason I can't even remember, probably something as ridiculous as how I didn't add the right detergent to the load of whites or criticizing me for how I make dinner when I do manage to cook on the weekends. I don't want to be spoken to like I'm some jerk who can't do anything right.
"I've started to feel so unhappy and lost. What I find really hard to handle is the arguing — we fight all the time. Stacy's ordeal has brought out the worst in us. Usually, fights start over something small that gets blown out of proportion, like Leigh's nasty comments when I took the girls to Dairy Queen or when I suggested they be allowed to go to birthday parties. While I knew that she was trying to keep them off dairy, I didn't think a little ice cream would do any harm. And you know what? It didn't. What can I say? I just want my children to have a normal childhood, to let them hang out with kids in the neighborhood, and for my wife not to get all bent out of shape if they sneeze.
"I grew up in Indiana, the third of nine kids. Although my dad can be abrasive and critical — I remember a lot of angry outbursts at my mother — we were all close. I moved to Colorado for college and worked at a tennis clinic on weekends. The day I met Leigh, I mustered the nerve to ask her to play tennis with me in the afternoon and that began this amazing, whirlwind relationship. Back then we were so incredibly happy, I feared it was a fairy tale and wouldn't last. Now I'm beginning to believe I was right."
The Counselor's Turn
"Many marriages are shaken by the stresses of a child's serious illness," said the counselor. "It's not unusual for basic communication and time alone to be put on hold. The underlying issue with Leigh and Sean was simple: In the face of a youngster's health crisis, how do you care for your child as well as yourselves?
"I pointed out that every person responds differently to a crisis and there is no right formula for coping. It was imperative that they both understood and respect that, and not assume, as Leigh did, that Sean didn't care just because he wasn't reacting the same way she was. What's more, Leigh's continuing anxiety about her daughter's health prevented her from letting Sean relieve her burden as much as he might have. She was unable to step back and let Sean take over everyday duties — making dinner, doing the laundry — without dictating how they should be done. Although she was furious about having to do everything, she was too exhausted to see that she was making her own situation worse.
"A take-charge, emotional woman, Leigh was physically and mentally depleted by her determination to make her daughter well. The fact that she had also witnessed the death of another baby in the intensive care unit had traumatized her, though neither realized how deeply until she burst into sobs recalling the incident. Sean, in turn, responded to his daughter's illness by burying himself in his work.
"Although Sean described his family as close when he was growing up, it became clear that expressing feelings, particularly sad or negative ones, had been routinely discouraged. In counseling, he acknowledged that his father had also been highly critical of his homemaker mother — a pattern he was unwittingly repeating.
"For this couple, talk and time were the healing factors. As they listened to each other, I helped them manage painful feelings and find simple solutions to problems that had them gridlocked. For example, I insisted that Leigh find ways to defuse her own anxiety by eating regular healthy meals and giving herself one hour in the middle of the day to sleep, exercise, meditate, or just read a magazine. That meant either napping when the twins did or hiring a babysitter for a few hours.
"I also helped Leigh recognize when she was slipping into self-defeating thought patterns that compounded her stress. Whenever she found herself dwelling on the past when Stacy was critically ill, I urged her to repeat, 'My baby did not die, and there's no indication she's now in danger.' By focusing on what was happening in the present, Leigh put her fears into perspective and felt more comfortable making play dates and signing the girls up for community gym and art classes. Recently, the girls began to sleep in their own room — something they, and their parents, were excited about.
"Leigh needed to give Sean more credit for what he did for the girls or around the house, and to tell him, nonjudgmentally, when she needed him to pitch in. As the tension eased, she was able to do that, and now he frequently does the dishes or the laundry without being asked. "We also spent several sessions helping Sean lower his stress level so he didn't snap at Leigh or feel the need to distance himself. 'Don't let favorite pastimes get edged out by work and family demands,' I told him. Sean now meets two friends at 5 a.m. three days a week to ride his bike into the mountains. He also takes a few minutes to sit quietly in the car and meditate, or simply close his eyes for five minutes, before going inside the house after work.
"Focused now on making their marriage a priority, the couple religiously reserve one night a week for a date, and they set aside half an hour every day to talk about anything other than the children. 'I also call Leigh in the middle of the day just to say hi,' Sean reported. 'I think about her all the time, but she never knew that. Now she does.'
"By the time they ended counseling, Leigh and Sean were quicker to recognize problems and resolve issues before they mushroomed. Basic rules for conflict resolution — such as tabling volatile topics until they both felt calm enough to discuss them — also helped. Recently, I received a call from Leigh. It was around 3 p.m., and she was at home resting because she was once again pregnant with twins — this time, boys. When I called to congratulate her, she sounded ecstatic: 'I feel great — physically and emotionally — because Sean and I are finally on the same page.'"
This month's case is based on interviews with clients and information from the files of Lynn Heitler, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker in Denver. The story told here is true, although names and other details have been changed to conceal identities.

DAYTONA BEACH — Dear Danica and Ricky:
Please stop it. There is no making out in NASCAR.
No hugs, no exchanging of Valentine's Day cards, none of this schmoozie-poozie stuff with the nauseating soundtrack of a Michael Bolton/Barry Manilow mix-tape.
DAYTONA BEACH — Dear Danica and Ricky:
Please stop it. There is no making out in NASCAR.
No hugs, no exchanging of Valentine's Day cards, none of this schmoozie-poozie stuff with the nauseating soundtrack of a Michael Bolton/Barry Manilow mix-tape.
The romance between race rivals Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse is threatening the demise of a sport that thrives on the edge of hate. How easily we forget that mainstream America fell in love with this sport after an epic battle at Daytona International Speedway in 1979.
Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough got tangled with each other on the final lap, with both cars stopping on the infield grass short of the finish line. As Allison and Yarborough were arguing, Bobby Allison — Donnie's brother — stopped his car to give his bro some backup. They all began fighting, and lucky-dog beneficiary Richard Petty slid through unimpeded for the victory.
The story made the front page of the New York Times sports section the next day.
NASCAR became a major player in the sports universe thanks to wreckin', racin' and the occasional 'rassling.
These days, the storied Times and just about every news group in America is smitten over Danica's romance with Stenhouse. It spawned the most number of offbeat questions during NASCAR Media Day at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday.
What did Danica get Ricky for Valentine's Day? What did Ricky get Danica? What happens if they crash? What happens if they break up?
For now, though, it's all lovey-dovey. Danica got her sweetheart a bunch of stuff: "There's like a whole bag dedicated to Valentine's Day."
Enough pillow talk. Those old-school guys know what I'm talking about. It's all about the contentious relationships, not amorous ones.
"We've had a nice little dose of that [over the years]," said NASCAR veteran Mark Martin.
"Does it seem a little bit like old times?" he was asked.
"Gosh, it just seems like good times to me, " Martin said.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Here was the NASCAR of yesterday, explained by Dale Earnhardt Sr.
"If you're not a race driver, stay the hell home," The Intimidator said. "Don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Get the hell out of the race car if you've got feathers on your legs or butt. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat that candy [butt]."
Here is the NASCAR of today, explained by Danica Patrick:
"I think you end up finding some kind of a chemistry with someone," she said, "and you can't always put it into words what exactly it is. We've just always kind of enjoyed being around each other. I think he's really funny. His jokes are really funny. Yeah, I just like being around him."
I imagine that the Intimidator is cussin' up a storm from the great beyond.
I suppose there is hope for the new season. The smart money is always on Kurt Busch for another implosion, although Las Vegas seems to be skewing toward Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon. Those two tangled big-time in Phoenix last season after Gordon wrecked Bowyer in retaliation over a few incidents during the course of the season.
Bowyer made a bee-line for Gordon in the garage area, punctuating one of the craziest scenes in recent NASCAR history.
They haven't really made nice since then despite a coincidental meeting on P Diddy's yacht on New Year's Eve.
"I don't get caught up in that," Bowyer said. "You guys made it a lot bigger deal that I ever did and ever thought that it was."
Please don't let us down, Clint. We need this to be a big deal. The wussification of NASCAR is a tragedy unfolding before our eyes.
And it's not just Danica and Ricky.
Dave Blaney showed up for Media Day wearing a pink fire suit.
Oh, dear. We are doomed.Read George Diaz's blog at OrlandoSentinel.com/enfuego or e-mail him at email@example.com

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; ..."
To call God "Father" is to declare and profess that we are children of God. Through baptism and faith we are joined to Christ's Body, the Church; we can only know the Father through the Son, for "no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." This gift of sonship is free, but it is not free of suffering or trials. On Ash Wednesday, we are reminded of our mortality: "For you are dust, and to dust you shall return." We are also reminded that the Son of Man was marked with thorns and blood, with suffering and sacrifice. As disciples of Jesus, we must take up our cross; as children of the Father, we must lose our life in order to find it.
The word "hallowed" is the Old English word for "holy" or "sanctified." We pray that God's name will be set apart and kept sacred, for God alone is worthy of worship. "We pray 'Hallowed be thy name,'" St. Cyprian writes, "not that we wish that God may be made holy by our prayers but that his name may be hallowed in us." In proclaiming God's holiness during Lent and throughout the year, Christians promise to make his name and reputation holy here on earth.
"... thy kingdom come; ..."
Throughout the New Testament, the word "kingdom" is used in three different ways: as an abstract noun, a concrete noun and an action verb. The kingdom, then, is a cosmic concept, an earthly reality and an ongoing activity. All three at once!
When we pray for the kingdom to come, we look back to establishment of the kingdom by Jesus after his first coming. We also believe the kingdom is growing right now, here on earth. And we express hope that the kingdom will one day, at the appointed time, be fully revealed in power and glory. The Lord's Prayer, then, is a prayer for the growth of the kingdom and its final and glorious appearing of the kingdom. In praying these words, we anticipate in hope that Christ, crowned with thorns and crucified during his first coming, will return crowned with glory and revealed in all of his majesty. In the meantime, we live in a state of what Blessed John Paul II called "eschatological tension" between the first and second comings of our Lord. Lent is a time that highlights this tension, for it helps us see more clearly how transitory and fleeting is our life in this temporal realm. It also anticipates the fullness of the life to come.
"... thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
Lent challenges us to choose between the perfect will of the Father and our imperfect will. Taking up the cross is a matter of choice, of will — and of surrendering our will to the Father. No one gets up on a cross simply because they feel like it. No, they have to willfully choose to do so. Jesus is the perfect model of the surrender and trust required. When we pray for the Father's will to "be done on earth as it is in heaven," we pray for the redemption of creation and the salvation of mankind. We join the Church in praying that God will bring about the final completion of his plan of salvation. The Father's will is that "all men be saved" and "come to the knowledge of the truth."
"Give us this day our daily bread; ..."
On the physical level, the request in the Our Father for daily bread is very concrete, even practical. We need to eat in order to live. As children of our heavenly Father, we trust in him for the basic necessities of life: food, clothing and shelter. Our fasting and giving during Lent remind us that these essentials should never be taken for granted and that there are many who do not possess them. The petition for daily bread is our prayer that all men and women will have meals to eat, clothing to wear and homes to live in. Every moment of every day is a gift from God — taking this for granted eventually leads to ingratitude, which can lead to callousness and arrogance.
eschatonBut just as Lent points us to our eternal destination through temporal, material means, the Lord's Prayer also points us toward heavenly glory by way of earthly paths. The entire prayer is eschatological in nature — that is, it directs toward The End (the ) and teaches us to think and pray as pilgrims on earth traveling toward heaven. And so our daily bread is not just ordinary food, but the bread of life and the food of immortality — the Eucharist.
"... and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, ..."
The catechism says "forgiveness is the fundamental condition of the reconciliation of the children of God with their Father and of men with one another" (CCC, No. 2844). The new covenant is rooted in mercy and forgiveness. Forgiveness is always a gift from God; without his grace, we cannot truly forgive. This is why forgiveness is intimately linked to the fatherhood of God, as heard in the words of the Psalmist: "Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him" (Ps 103:13). Forgiving is difficult, and so is fighting temptation. As we pray throughout Lent, hidden weaknesses will come to light and sinful habits will reveal themselves. The Mass and devotions of the Lenten season help us to acknowledge our failings and our struggles with temptation. Times of prayer and contemplation lead us to ask hard questions. What are the temptations that regularly confront us? What can we do to avoid occasions of sin? How must I change my ways in order to be holy?
"... but deliver us from evil. Amen."
"The whole New Testament," wrote Father Hans Urs von Balthasar, "is unanimous on this point: the Cross and burial of Christ reveal their significance only in the light of the event of Easter, without which there is no Christian faith."
We must not shy away from this great truth: Christianity without the cross is just another moral code taught by a great man, and the cross without the resurrection is just the tragic death of an inspiring leader. The "evil" here is not an abstract concept, but is the personification of evil — Satan.
We are incapable of grappling with Satan on our own. He is a spiritual being — a fallen angel — whose intellect and power far exceeds that of any man. The lone exception is the God-man, who strengthens and protects his flock from evil (cf., 2 Thes 3:3). Only Jesus can overcome evil and Satan; only he can go the cross and by dying destroy the power of death.

LONG BEACH — A man struck by a sport utility vehicle and killed in Long Beach was identified by a coroner's official this morning as a 59-year-old from San Pedro.
His name was Stephen Spado, said a Los Angeles County coroner's investigator.
Witnesses reported he stepped off the curb near Pepper Tree Lane into traffic on Seventh Street. He was struck by a westbound Range Rover in the 6100 block of East Seventh Street around 7 p.m., said Long Beach police Cpl. John Fagan.
Spado was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The driver of the Range Rover stopped after the crash and was not cited, Fagan said.
Detectives determined the driver of the car did not have enough time to stop before hitting the man.
Los Angeles County Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter said Monday that Spado was initially reported to the Coroner's Department as a possible transient. Coroner's investigators found his last known address was in San Pedro, but he did not have a permanent address at the time of his death, Winter said.

< Back to list for experimentation
K.Y.D. is Caroline Dath + Damien Safie + guests
Heres what we do everyday:
we create fresh graphic design
we design books for the curious
we sign the way with architects
we enlarge your internet
we get graphics in motion
we even quote for free
Kidnap Your Designer is the name of a Belgian graphic design agency created in 2006 by Caroline Dath, a graduate of Saint-Luc Liège and ERG (Graphic Research School). Damien Safie, a classmate from ERG, joined her in 2008 as partner.
This studio, based in Brussels, produces creative works using typography and printing techniques for clients from the music, theatre, cinema, design or architecture fields. Cultural institutions also missions the studio on their visual communication tools.
Kidnap Your Designer also creates experimental and self-produced projects ('It's Better Here', 'Note' exhibitions, postcards, poster or T-shirts ).
For each project the studio develops its graphic design around an idea, a concept closely related to the subject involved.
Graphic design should not exist without ideas.
When sense makes graphic-design then design-graphic makes sense.
Caroline and Damien both teach at ERG (École de Recherche Graphique) Brussels, in the Graphic Design section.
Caroline also gave lessons at École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc Liège in the Graphic Design section in 2008.
So do as you're told and kidnap your designer if you want great work!
And don't worry mom & dad!
We won't be really kidnaped...
Well we hope! K.Y.D. is an allusion to
Kill your Idols as well as many other stuff...
So don't panik and carry on scrolling!

Mont-Ste-Anne World Cup Preview
Once again the world's mountain bike elite have gathered for North America's only mountain bike triple (cross country, downhill and 4 X) at Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec. One thing we've come to expect from MSA is heat and humidity, but it looks like this weekend is going to be considerably different than the usual 30°C that everyone has come to know and "love". Temperatures are actually cool, 21C at the moment, with an expected low of 10C tonight and reaching perhaps 20C tomorrow.
The real question mark is rain - although only about 1mm is expected, the forecast is calling for an 80% chance of light rain tomorrow afternoon. That would be a real shame because the reports from the few XC racers that we spoke with is that both the course and the course conditions are superb at the moment. We will have to wait and see what tomorrow morning presents. The weather report has been extremely changeable over the past few days.
Regarding the XC race course, it is essentially the same 5 kilometre loop that has been used the past few years. Only a 200m section between the first and second climbs has been revised a touch. The expectation is a start loop plus 5 laps for the women and 7 for the men (plus start loop). This will be confirmed at the manager's meeting later this evening. And, of course, this may change if rain arrives in the morning.
One of the topics of discussion has been regarding the German rider Ivonne Kraft. She is here at the race, but is under a cloud of suspicion regarding a positive test for asthma medication which she does not have medical permission to use. She is claiming that she received an inadvertent dose from her mother's asthma inhaler when it discharged after clogging, and that she ingested some medication from it. Needless to say there is some skepticism surrounding this explanation.
She has been dropped from the German National Team, and was not registered, but she is still here and planning to compete. As a late registration, she has been fined 150 Swiss Francs (approximately $150 Can), and will be put at the back of the field (more on this latter penalty below). According to chief commissaire Colin Clews, Kraft will not be allowed to start without a letter from the German federation, allowing her registration. The cut-off for receiving that letter is 9:00 am (local EDT) tomorrow; two hours before the start of the women's race. As of 5:30 pm EDT that letter had not been received.
Missing from the fields are a few names - Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa (Multivan Merida), who is still battling back from a viral infection, and whose team released a statement earlier this week saying that she will not be racing the next few World Cups. On the men's side, Thomas Frischknecht (Swisspower) is missing the North American stops, as previously planned, for an event in Switzerland.
Now the story which is causing consternation among some teams and federations. As mentioned above with the Kraft situation, a late registration carries a fine, as specified in the rulebook. However, the UCI has apparently instituted a new rule this season, which says that the rider also starts at the back of the field.
"This further requirement was set by the UCI Mountain Bike staff" explains Colin Clews. "I was the chief in Houffalize, and it has been applied at all the races since then, so for total consistency we will apply it here. As I have explained to some managers, the regulations are a dynamic instrument, and some of the changes have been provided to the commissaires, but apparently not to the teams."
This regulation is going to catch out an estimated 11-13 riders in the men's and women's field, including Lene Byberg (Specialized) and Catharine Pendrel (Norco). "An athlete shouldn't suffer from the mistakes of teams or federations." stated Specialized team director Bobby Behan. "The rules state a fine, that's okay. But there is nothing in the rules about putting them in the back of the field."
Pendrel, one of the athletes caught by the new rules, said "It's not a huge deal, but when you have invested the time and energy to get up there ... it sucks. I guess I will just have to deal with it."
Remi Berubi of the Canadian Cycling Association says that the CCA did send in Pendrel's registration, but never received a confirmation from the UCI. "It was an administrative error, now the rider is penalized."
In the pit area we came across a familiar face in Hugo Bardou, who was with Balfa Cycles for many years. Balfa was purchased by ProCycle (Rocky Mountain, Miele, Oryx, etc.), which eventually killed the line. Hugo is now building a new line of mostly steel bikes called Cycles Xprezo, built in Bromont, Quebec. There are 3 full suspension XC models, 2 with 100mm travel and a race model with just 80mm. There is also an all mountain bike and a cyclo-cross model. The continuing advances in steel tubing has permitted Hugo to make steel bikes lighter than ever before and with ride characteristics better than aluminum. His riders tell him that the rear of the bike isn't as stiff and as harsh as aluminum, making for a great ride, yet supplying great climbing. Check them out at www.xprezo.ca

|ACS Instrument Handbook
3.3 Instrument Design
• The WFC employs a mosaic of two 4096 x 2048 Scientific Imaging Technologies (SITe) CCDs. The 15 x 15 µm pixels provide ~0.05 arcseconds/pixel spatial resolution, with critical sampling at 11,600 Å, resulting in a nominal 202 x 202 arcsecond field of view (FOV). The spectral sensitivity of the WFC ranges from ~3500 Å to ~11,000 Å, with a peak efficiency of 48% at ~7000 Å (including OTA).
• The nonfunctioning HRC has a 1024 x 1024 SITe CCD, with 21 x 21 µm pixels that provided ~0.028 x 0.025 arcsecond/pixel spatial resolution with critical sampling at 6300 Å. This gave the HRC a nominal 29 x 26 arcsecond field of view. The spectral response of the HRC ranged from ~1700 Å to ~11,000 Å, and it has a peak efficiency of 29% at ~6500 Å (including OTA).
• The SBC detector is a solar-blind CsI microchannel plate (MCP) with Multi-Anode Microchannel Array (MAMA) readout. It has 1024 x 1024 pixels, each 25 x 25 µm in size. This provides a spatial resolution of ~0.034 x 0.030 arcseconds/pixels, producing a nominal FOV of 34.6 x 30.1 arcseconds. The SBC UV spectral response ranges from ~1150 Å to ~1700 Å with a peak efficiency of 7.5% at 1250 Å.The ACS CCDs are thinned, backside-illuminated full-frame devices cooled by thermo-electric cooler (TEC) stacks housed in sealed, evacuated dewars with fused silica windows. The spectral response of the WFC CCDs is optimized for imaging at visible to near-IR wavelengths, while the HRC CCD spectral response was optimized specifically for near-UV wavelengths. The WFC CCD camera produces a time-integrated image in the ACCUM data-taking mode as did the HRC CCD before January 2007. As with all CCD detectors, there is noise and overhead associated with reading out the detector following an exposure.The minimum WFC exposure time is 0.5 seconds. The minimum time between successive identical full-frame WFC exposures is 135 seconds. The readout time can be reduced to as little as ~35 seconds for WFC subarrays. The dynamic range for a single exposure is ultimately limited by the depth of the CCD full well (~85,000 e– for the WFC and 155,000 e– for the HRC), which determines the total amount of charge that can accumulate in any one pixel during an exposure without saturation. Cosmic rays will affect all CCD exposures. CCD observations should be broken into multiple exposures whenever possible to allow removal of cosmic rays in post-observation data processing, see Section 4.3.6.The SBC MAMA is a photon-counting detector which provides a two-dimensional ultraviolet imaging and spectroscopic capability. It is operated only in ACCUM mode. To protect the MAMA against permanent damage from over-illumination, local and global brightness limits of 50 counts/second/pixel and 200,000 counts/second, respectively are imposed on all SBC targets. Note that the linearity of the MAMA deviates by 1% at a local (pixel) count rate of ~22 counts/second/pixel, which is half the bright object screening limit. The global count rate becomes similarly nonlinear at the screening limit of 200,000 counts/second. More information on the SBC's nonlinearity and bright object limits is given in Section 4.5, Section 4.6, and Section 7.2, and in ACS ISRs 98-03 and 99-07.
3.3.2 The ACS design incorporates two main optical channels: one for the WFC, and one which is shared by the HRC and SBC. Each channel has independent corrective optics to compensate for spherical aberration in the HST primary mirror. The WFC has silver-coated optics to optimize instrument throughput in the visible and near-IR. The silver coatings cut off at wavelengths shortward of 3500 Å. The WFC has two filter wheels which it shared with the HRC, offering the possibility of internal WFC/HRC parallel observing for some filter combinations (Section 7.9). The optical design of the WFC is shown schematically in Figure 3.2. The HRC/SBC optical chain comprises three aluminized mirrors overcoated with MgF2, shown schematically in Figure 3.3. The HRC or SBC channels are selected by means of a plane fold mirror (M3 in Figure 3.3). The HRC was selected by inserting the fold mirror into the optical chain so that the beam was imaged onto the HRC detector through the WFC/HRC filter wheels. The SBC channel is selected by moving the fold mirror out of the beam to yield a two mirror optical chain that focuses light through the SBC filter wheel onto the SBC detector. The aberrated beam coronagraph was accessed by inserting a mechanism into the HRC optical chain. This mechanism positioned a substrate with two occulting spots at the aberrated telescope focal plane and an apodizer at the re-imaged exit pupil. While there was no mechanical reason why the coronagraph could not be used with the SBC, for health and safety reasons, use of the coronagraph was forbidden with the SBC.Figure 3.2: ACS optical design: Wide Field Channel (ACS/WFC).Figure 3.3: ACS optical design: High Resolution/Solar Blind Channels (ACS/HRC and ACS/SBC).ACS has three filter wheels: two shared by the WFC and HRC, and a separate wheel dedicated to the SBC. The WFC/HRC filter wheels contain the major filter sets. Each wheel also contains one clear WFC aperture and one clear HRC aperture (see Chapter 5 for more on filters). Before January 2007, parallel WFC and HRC observations were possible for some filter combinations (auto-parallels). Because the filter wheels were shared, it was not possible to independently select the filter for WFC and HRC parallel observations.ACS has a calibration subsystem consisting of tungsten lamps and a deuterium lamp for internally flat fielding each of the optical channels. The calibration lamps illuminate a diffuser on the rear surface of the ACS aperture door, which must be closed for calibration exposures. Under normal circumstances, users are not allowed to use the internal calibration lamps.

Digital Tattoo Inspiration: DoverPictura
When looking for design inspiration, particularly pattern work for my tattoos, I've often poured over Dover Books -- publications that contain hundreds of thousands of Copyright Free, permission free or royalty-free images.
Considering that our mega-bookstore chains in the US don't usually carry too many of their extensive titles, I would take a special pilgrimage to the Dover Bookshop in Convent Garden when I'd head to the London Tattoo Convention. I was bummed to learn that the shop closed in March, that is, until I found out that the books, or even just select pages from the books, can be purchased for download on DoverPictura.
DoverPictura offers instant digital image gratification. As noted on the website, the "vast archive of royalty-free images is organized in collections that range in focus from vintage Americana, to period ornament & decoration, to exotic ethnic imagery from around the world."
I purchased Neo-Classical Design & Ornament (as a nod to my Greek culture) and Floral Ornament. Immediately after making the purchase, via PayPal, I was able to download a zipped file, which contained not only the PDF of the book, but each individual design in the book was a separate file. For Floral Ornament, for example, that came out to 380 images. Now all I need is a free moment to go through them all for ideas.
Also check the DoverPictura blog for ideas on using the images in design & craft projects, as well as technical info on working with certain files.
Dover Books will also have a stand at the London Tattoo Convention.

Regis Raises $1Million for Breast Cancer Research
Regis Corporation announced that its annual Clip for the Cure campaign raised $1 million for the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. So far, the yearly event has raised more than $10 million to fund breast cancer research at the University of Minnesota's Masonic Cancer Center, the Mayo Clinic and other nationally recognized medical research facilities.
"Clip for a Cure is an important campaign for Regis; many of our stylists and guests are women and many of us have had family members or friends directly affected by breast cancer," said Dan Hanrahan, president and CEO of Regis. "We're very pleased and proud that our stylists, guests and business partners came together to help us raise $1 million this year."
Clip for a Cure was held during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month. More than 7,000 Regis corporate salons participated in the event and stylists delivered more than 240,000 haircuts. Regis donated a portion of the proceeds from the cuts to the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. During October, salons also donated 10 percent of net proceeds from the sale of private label products, and salon guests contributed by purchasing limited-edition pink products.

The Canary Wharf Motorexpo returns next week for its 19th annual outing, giving London's petrolheads a chance to check out some of their favourite motors.
Among this year's exhibitors, cars from BMW, Lexus, Audi, Jaguar, Tesla and Maserati will be at Canary Wharf, while some manufacturers will be unveiling their latest models, including Bentley's new supercar, the Continental GTV8 S. Other vehicles on display will be Aston Martin's Vanquish Volante, the Maserati Ghibli, Rolls Royce's Wraith and the Infiniti Q50.
The displays aren't confined to modern motoring though — previous years have seen some gorgeous classic sports cars, and 2014 brings F1 cars from Lotus and Infiniti Red Bull Racing. The B4 Bike, a retro-styled electric cruiser, and Tesla's Model S zero emissions sports car, and the electric urban sports motorcycle Saietta R from Agility Global will show some of the best of sustainable motoring.
As in previous years, visitors will get the chance to drive some of the cars on display — look out for the Drive Me symbol to book your test drive. If you fancy making a day of it, Canary Wharf has a wide range of shops and restaurants to visit when your appetite for cars has been sated.
The Canary Wharf Motorexpo is free to attend and runs from Monday 9 June to Sunday 15 June between 10am and 6pm then 11am to 5pm on Sunday. For more information visit www.motorexpo.com.
