Soil Fungus Soaks Up CO2Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 06/11/2010 - 09:15
There have been arguments made for increased plant growth due to rising atmospheric CO2 levels, while others have argued against it. Now it seems that green plants and ocean algae are not the only forms of life involved. Opportunistic microorganisms are stepping in to sop up excess carbon. A new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has identified soil fungi as a major player in accelerating CO2 absorption. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been identified as an intermediary between plants and other bacterial and fungal populations, acting as a buffer for other soil-borne communities. Existing organisms are not just working harder, new communities are developing to take advantage of increased CO2 levels, demonstrating that nature possesses self-regulation mechanisms science did not anticipate and has yet to discover.
Crank of the Week - June 7, 2010 - Ted TurnerSubmitted by admin on Thu, 06/10/2010 - 09:12
In a multi-part interview with CNN Newsroom anchor Fredricka Whitfield, Ted Turner spoke about his own devotion and dedication to environmental causes. "I've been cutting the lights out for a long time," stated the CNN founder. Turner went on to claim that, if people don't chose to do the right thing, mankind will soon suffer the consequences. Known for bombastic statements during his youth, the "Mouth of the South" now says the climate change induced threat to humanity has risen from cannibalism to extinction.
Water Is Not The New OilSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 06/08/2010 - 11:59
In the midst of the clamor over global warming, greenhouse gas emissions and world energy supplies another, perhaps more immediate, environmental catastrophe is gathering momentum—the world wide shortage of fresh water. Though eclipsed in America by pictures of oil-soaked pelicans and fouled coastal wetlands, this potentially more disastrous and more permanent problem has been ignored by politicians and the public for decades. Experts are warning that by 2050 fully 45% of humanity may be chronically short of water. Unlike the eventual depletion of the world's oil supplies, there is no substitute for H2O.
Guessing At CO2 EmissionsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 13:51
Supposedly, human activity is responsible for the detected rise in atmospheric CO2 levels over the past century. But do we really know were gas emissions come from and how great they are? As it turns out, greenhouse gas emissions are measured using statistical data without testing the results against the actual increases of these gases in the atmosphere. Regardless, climate change alarmists insist that human emissions must be reduced. A revealing perspective article in the June 4, 2010, issue of Science states "this is like dieting without weighing oneself." Currently, science is only guessing at where CO2 emissions come from.
Chicxulub Redux: A Lesson In How Science WorksSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 06/01/2010 - 14:33
Recently this site posted an article about the extinction event 65.5 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period. That extinction coincided with a large asteroid impact at Chicxulub, Mexico, and occurred within the time of Deccan flood basalt volcanism in India. A new review article by 41 scientists, published in the March 5, 2010, edition of Science, was cited that summarized what science thinks it knows about the extinction. That article reinforced the single cause asteroid impact extinction scenario. Now, in an excellent example of how the scientific process works, and why scientific consensus is such a bogus term, the May 21 issue of Science has published a number of letters that take exception to the previous article's conclusions.
Kudzu Causes Global Warming!Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 09:38
Across the southeastern US, the nitrogen-fixing legume Pueraria montana, more commonly known as kudzu, has been an impossible to eradicate invader for decades. While its direct impact on native ecosystems is highly visible—a smothering green blanket that swallows up shrubs, trees and even houses—what is not as apparent is kudzu's effect on the atmosphere. Its spread has the potential to raise ozone levels by increasing nitric oxide (NO) emissions from soils by as much as 100%. Since NO is a potent greenhouse gas, the spread of the pesky vine could be a contributing factor to climate change. That's right: kudzu causes global warming!
Climate Change-Malaria Link DebunkedSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 05/26/2010 - 14:21
Many climate change alarmists have predicted a wide range of calamitous side-effects to be caused by global warming. One such link that frequently surfaces is that global warming will cause the spread of malaria, leading to a world wide pandemic. A new study, just published in the journal Nature, has shown that malaria is actually declining worldwide. Furthermore, proposed future climate induced effects are insignificant compared with the observed natural trend and easily overcome by current disease control mechanisms. In short, claiming that malaria will spread around the globe due to climate change is an outright lie.
Crude Facts About Offshore DrillingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sun, 05/23/2010 - 13:40
There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. This unprecedented accident for the American offshore drilling industry, the first significant spill in 40 years, will certainly have a calamitous impact on the Gulf marine environment and surrounding coastal areas. What is less certain, but potentially even more dangerous, is the effect that this spill will have on the US domestic oil industry. While environmentalists clamor for a shut down of all offshore drilling in the Gulf, realists know that this will make the threat to ocean life even greater. What has not being told to the public is that nature itself leaks more oil into the ocean each year than mankind, and has been doing so for millions of years. What is even less known is that offshore drilling can actually reduce the amount of crude released into the seas.
Climate Science Strikes BackSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 05/20/2010 - 14:08
If a letter appearing in the May 7, 2010, issue of Science is any indication, it looks like climate science traditionalists are trying to stage a comeback. The article by P. H. Gleick and a cast of hundreds, entitled "Climate Change and the Integrity of Science," states that "we are deeply disturbed by the recent escalation of political assaults on scientists in general and on climate scientists in particular." Decrying the attacks on climate scientists by "deniers," the letter reiterates the signatories' support for dogmatic climate change theory. While admitting that the IPCC "quite unexpectedly and normally, made some mistakes," they call for an end to "McCarthy-like threats" against themselves and their colleagues. Painting themselves as victims, they have gone on the offensive—like the evil Empire of Star Wars fame, climate science is striking back.
Playing the Uncertainty CardSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 05/17/2010 - 14:48
There is little doubt that the political forces promoting climate change hysteria are under attack and in retreat around the world. It has also become obvious that little global consensus exists among climate scientists regarding how to regain the public's trust. There is, however, ample evidence that the climate change alarmists have not learned their lesson. At a recent conference held in Washington, D.C., an eminent climate policy expert urged that scientists and policy leaders embrace the persuasive power of uncertainty. If you cannot convince the public with the facts, frighten them into going along anyway seems to be the message. This is not science, it is subterfuge justified by blind faith.
Crank of the Week - May 10, 2010 - John Kerry & Joe LiebermanSubmitted by admin on Sun, 05/16/2010 - 11:48
After some last minute tweaking to overcome concerns raised by the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the American Power Act, a bill proposing a Cap & Trade system for reducing US carbon dioxide emissions, was introduced in the Senate by John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent. Notable by his absence was South Carolina Republican Lindsay Graham, who came to his senses just in time to back out of the bill writing troika. Purportedly, the bill aims to reduce emissions by 17% by 2020 and by over 80% in 2050. What it really does is levy a stealth tax on carbon based energy, hiding it behind a "carbon trading" market scheme that would have made Enron proud.
Sun & Cycles Heat Up Ice Age InterglacialsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 05/13/2010 - 12:18
Since the Mid-Brunhes Event, around 430,000 years ago, interglacial periods have grown warmer and their CO2 levels higher. Research confirms that Croll and Milankovitch were right: Earth's orbital cycles seem to be the cause of these documented cases of true global warming, with CO2 playing a supporting role, not the lead. Many of the catastrophic events warned of by climate change alarmists turn out to be well within the range of natural variation. Moreover, new findings indicate that the effects of the cycle induced changes, through their impact on the environment in the Southern Hemisphere, are not correctly accounted for in the IPCC models.
Monsoons & MegadroughtsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 05/07/2010 - 14:07
Large portions of the globe rely on the seasonal monsoon for water. Across much of Asia, agriculture depends on the coming of the monsoon rains. One scare tactic employed by global warming extremists is to claim that human caused climate change will keep the monsoon from coming, causing drought, failed crops and famine. In truth, science does not fully understand the complex interactions of ocean, atmosphere, and land that influence the monsoon, or how it impacts climate in other parts of the world. Now, a new Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas (MADA) provides reconstructions of summer moisture for the region going back to 1300 AD. It documents a long sequence of droughts so persistent that scientists call them "megadroughts." These megadrought events, the worst of which may have toppled ancient kingdoms, show that unreliable monsoon seasons have afflicted mankind throughout history—long before the clamor over climate change arose.
Wind Power: Green and DeadlySubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Mon, 05/03/2010 - 15:41
An average US citizen or corporate entity who kills an endangered animal can be in big trouble with the law. Birds, eagles in particular, are zealously protected by nature lovers in America and around the world. Yet a July 2008 study of the wind farm at Altamont Pass, California, estimated that an average of 80 golden eagles were killed there by wind turbines each year. The study, funded by the Alameda County Community Development Agency, estimated that about 10,000 other protected birds were being killed along with the eagles every year at Altamont. Where is the outrage over this slaughter? It would seem ecologists have a blind spot when it comes to the wind energy industry. As a result, the carnage caused by wind turbines, the "Cuisinarts of the Air," is getting greenwashed. And birds are not the only creatures wind turbines kill—they kill bats and people as well.
Scientists Link Quiet Sun & Cold WintersSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 04/30/2010 - 08:57
Asking the somewhat obvious question, "are cold winters in Europe associated with low solar activity?" a group of scientists have announced that the answer is yes. While this may seem unsurprising, the finding is another indication that Earth's climate is not simply driven by greenhouse gas emissions. Even so, some scientists are only grudgingly accepting the finding, cautioning that this only applies in the central UK and refusing to admit that the Sun could affect global mean temperatures as well. Still, the researchers found that average solar activity has declined rapidly since 1985 and cosmogenic isotopes suggest a possible return to Maunder minimum conditions within the next 50 years. This could be a sign that climate science is starting to recover from its CO2 fixation.

Racing industry mulls logistics of ontrack pharmacies
LEXINGTON, Ky. – On the list of policies released Wednesday that Frank Stronach says he will implement at his tracks, the most intriguing – and most controversial – is the notion of creating ontrack pharmacies that will be responsible for buying and dispensing every dose of medication administered to every horse on racetrack grounds.
Some supporters heartily embrace the idea, saying that an ontrack dispensary will bring an end to a practice that many critics of veterinary medicine refer to as "injecting the shed row" – administering a panoply of medications to all of the horses in a trainer's barn without even inspecting the horse. The supporters also contend that a pharmacy will make it harder for veterinarians and trainers to keep and administer illegal drugs on the racetrack, since any medical substance in a barn or vet truck that wasn't dispensed by the pharmacy will be prohibited.
While few in racing overtly dismiss the concept, many veterinarians and racing officials said they cannot support the concept without answers to a vast number of questions.
"I'm not sure how one would work, to be honest," said Dr. Foster Northrup, a Kentucky racetrack veterinarian who is a member of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. "I'm not trying to shoot this thing in the foot, but I see a lot of problems, and I have a lot of questions."
Stronach, who owns Santa Anita, Gulfstream, Golden Gate Fields, Laurel, and Pimlico, among other racing assets, released a statement on Wednesday listing 10 policies his tracks will seek to implement as house rules under the broad heading of "medication reform." The ontrack pharmacy concept was followed by a rule "prohibiting anyone from having any medications in their possession unless those medications have been properly prescribed for a therapeutic treatment program," a standard for care and possession that is far more strict than the one currently applied to racetrack veterinary practice in the U.S.
Supporters of an ontrack pharmacy point to Hong Kong, where all medications administered to racehorses require a prescription from a pharmacy owned by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which regulates every aspect of racing and training in the province.
But racing in Hong Kong is also different in hugely significant ways from U.S. racing. Most importantly, Hong Kong's two tracks hold approximately 750 races a year for 1,500 horses. With such a small number of races for such a relatively large population of horses, the Hong Kong Jockey Club can afford to require horses to meet the most stringent physical standards before running.
In addition, the Hong Kong horse population is captive – all horses race and train at Hong Kong Jockey Club facilities. In the U.S., horses ship in from myriad locations on race day, so under the proposed Stronach rules, there would be two standards for care – a veterinarian treating a horse offtrack will not be constrained by the racetrack rule that limits the care a veterinarian can provide to a horse stabled at a Stronach track.
Nevertheless, supporters of an ontrack pharmacy are convinced the idea has benefits. Most importantly, they say, veterinarians will find it much more difficult to administer medications of dubious benefit to a horse on their own say-so, the kind of treatments that run up a vet bill even if they aren't listed on the bill by name (or the correct date). Many say there is a backstretch culture where some trainers seem to be experimenting on race day with compounded substances that have absolutely no active, illegal, or even helpful ingredients.
Under the Stronach rules, those compounded substances couldn't be prescribed, so a search of a barn or truck that turned up any unauthorized substance would result in an immediate penalty. To issue a penalty under existing rules for those types of substances – which won't test positive – the veterinarian or trainer usually has to be caught in the act of administering the substance, which requires an especially alert or lucky backstretch security staff.
Also, supporters contend that an ontrack pharmacy would lead to a significant reduction in the routine medicating of horses without an accompanying diagnosis. For example, in the past two years reports have surfaced that all or most of the horses in the barns of Bob Baffert and Steve Asmussen, two leading trainers, were at one time receiving regular doses of the drug thyrozine, which is supposed to treat extremely rare thyroid conditions.
Dr. Jeff Blea, a California racetrack practitioner who was part of a group that studied the creation of an ontrack pharmacy in the state several years ago, said he remains open-minded about an ontrack pharmacy despite questions about the logistics. In large part, he said, if vets had to justify their prescriptions through a controlled pharmacy, they'd cut out a lot of the automatic yet extraneous treatments.
"You'd probably get a lot more hands and eyes on a horse before a vet writes a prescription, and that's a very good thing," said Blea.
But Blea, like other vets, also believes he will need to see a detailed plan about how the pharmacies will work before he can back them. Will the pharmacies be open 24-7, so that veterinarians can get access to emergency medications at any time of the day or night? Who will own the pharmacy, and what will prevent the owner from price gouging? Will veterinarians be prevented from carrying around the sometimes powerful medications that can be necessary to administer on a moment's notice to horses that have colicked or suffered a catastrophic injury?
"As a vet, you have to be prepared," Northrup said. "Horses get hurt fast. Horses get sick fast. Horses colic fast. And they can die pretty fast."
For now, Stronach racetrack officials do not have answers to those questions. They plan to hire an equine health and safety director to devise how the policies will be implemented, in consultation with a committee of owners, trainers, and veterinarians. That process will likely take months, and in the meantime, the racing industry will be watching closely to see how the idea develops.
The on track pharmacy would be the only place drugs are allowed on the track. An attending veterinarian examines a horse and prescribes a treatment. If medication is part of the treatment, the veterinarian submits the horse's name and requested medication. The pharmacist and regulatory veterinarian evaluate the request and dispense the medication to be administered to the specific horse. Everything is recorded, drug, dosage, frequency, and brand name. Veterinarians will not be allowed to drive around with trunk and truckloads of drugs, as this has led to indiscriminate inappropriate treatments, that have led to breakdowns and other doping problems. The pharmacy is the only place medication can be stored or dispensed on the racetrack. Veterinarians will have to practice veterinary medicine a s veterinary medicine should be practiced with racehorses. No drugs can come into the track through any other venue. Every horse medicated is medicated via this process and no other. This is the model in Hong Kong where the breakdown rate is one of the lowest in the world. This policy effectively prevents doping, while providing all of the horses with the necessary therapeutic medications to train and race. Every treatment is transparent. The bettors, trainers, owners, and all others are made aware of every treatment for each and every horse. The result is racing with increased integrity, increased safety, increased public support, and increased handle. Horsemen and veterinarians will oppose this, of course, for the obvious reasons that have caused all the trouble the industry is experiencing with injuries to both horses and jockeys due to doping and other unwholesome improper medication practices that devalue the horse. This on track pharmacy policy is the doping prevention policy that is the best interest of the racehorses, the riders, the players, and the owners. It is this system that will restore integrity to horseracing in America. The model is in place in Hong Kong, where it has been tremendously effective in supporting racing with integrity and high ethical values. On track pharmacies will represent the health and welfare of the horse, and make racing considerably safer, and will restore public trust in the sport. Sid Gustafson DVM
Is the thinking that having an on-track pharmacy stops the "compounding" of drugs? How do we know that "compounding" of drugs is necessarily detrimental? Don't some horses/humans take more than one medication at a time? This just doesn't seem well-thought out; the problem that it "solves" hasn't really been identified. It seems that you would have to hire one or more persons to follow each vet around the track every minute to make sure that they have no other medications than those allowed; also periodically search their persons to make sure nothing is hidden--maybe the vets should just be quarantined at the track and made to live there to ensure maximum compliance! Vets are trained professionals, abide by a code of professional conduct, and when caught violating law, regulations, or codes of conduct, are disciplined/fined/prosecuted. It is unfair to the industry and to them as professionals to assume that they are all "cheaters."
I applaud this effort. People who cheat can find a different venue to ply their trade. Thanks Frank Stronach!
A step in the right direction, yet Stronach let's cheaters caught red handed, like Jane Cibelli, train, and race at his track. Why?

A+ for the service; A- for the Stops; B+ for the ship
Sail Date: September 13, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Room Type: Oceanview
Four adults and one toddler. Had superior service from the dining room staff, any attendant yo could run into, and especially great folks in the casino. So many choices for excursions, though we found ourselves the most relaxing beach at each port. Belize and Honduras were incredible. We had all done different parts of Mexico before, and Cozumel seems like just another Cancun-like location, but it was still nice.
Amazing that a 13 year old ship could feel a bit tired in spots, but it did. It's a grand ship, though the pools felt small, and knowing what is on current vessels made us feel like we were on "the older one." Still very comfortable, smooth, and clean.
Food was delicious, both in main dining and in the specialty restaurants. I would highly recommend this cruise, particularly for those getting their feet wet with cruising, because it was very affordable, great experience, and unique enough to wet the palette for more.
We were in the casino by 10, so we didn't spend much time with the evening entertainment. The lounges were always festive and busy.
Thank you Royal Caribbean for a wonderful break from the grind.

Beijing, July 24: Uber Technologies Inc. will now play ferry to Xiaomi Inc's new flagship handset, the Mi Note to buyers in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in an alliance that displays its ambitious expansion into the same-day delivery.
San Francisco-based firm has been valued at $500 billion by private investors, assuming that hundreds of thousands of Uber drivers can also act as delivery executives.
However, this strategy meets a tough fight in the US as Amazon and Postmates have a strong footing in the USA.
A part of the deal includes Uber users getting first priority of buying the smartphone through Uber App on July 27, one day before it goes on sale online. The purchaser will be charged on the user's Uber account and the handset will be delivered shortly at the address.

Women's Tennis Readies for Final Conference Weekend Road Trip
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky women's tennis team readies for their last Southeastern Conference weekend road trip. The Wildcats will face No. 15 South Carolina on Friday, April 2 at 2 p.m. ET and then No. 3 Florida on Sunday April 4 at 1 p.m. ET.
Kentucky will be challenged by South Carolina (12-3, 5-1 SEC) and Florida (18-2, 6-0 SEC). The Wildcats hold a 16-12 overall record against the Gamecocks while the Gators have conquered the Blue and White 31 out of 33 times in their history. In 2009, South Carolina (No. 20) bested the Wildcats (No. 25) 4-2, and then-No. 14 Kentucky hammered the then-No. 31 Gators 4-3.
Senior Christine Johnston looks to improve her respectable 10-6, 4-2 SEC singles record and continue a four match hot streak. The Wildcat captain most recently claimed wins over Auburn's Myrthe Molenveld (6-2, 7-6 (8-6)) and Alabama's Meritt Emery (6-3, 6-1).
UK's top singles player, Megan Broderick (No. 98), hopes to gain momentum toward the SEC tournament after defeating 39th-ranked Alexa Guarachi of Alabama on March 28.
The Gamecocks and Gators both took down two SEC West rivals this past weekend. South Carolina overpowered Mississippi State 4-3 and Ole Miss 5-0. Florida swept Mississippi State 7-0 and Ole Miss 6-1.

Kolkata, Mar 28 : Dalmiya filed a criminal case against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) accusing it of using false affidavits against him.
The case was filed on Friday in the Calcutta High Court.
BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah refused to respond on the issue by saying that the Board required some time.
Earlier, Jagmohan Dalmiya had charged the BCCI of misappropriation of funds subject to Rs 240 crores in a television rights deal.
Dalimya, according to the BCCI always reimbursed his personal telephone bills.
Dalmiya was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch on March 26 and later released on bail. The crime branch has accused Dalmiya of misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs 2.9 crore. It was also found by the crime branch that Dalmiya diverted funds to other expenses including payment of personal phone bills, which was meant for legal fees.
The case against Dalmiya is about a bank account at Bhowanipore in West Bengal. This account with the Indian Overseas Bank was opened when India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka jointly hosted the cricket World Cup in 1996.

*** "Big bankruptcies are piling up," says the New York Times. Mervyn's, a California retailer…Bennigan's, a restaurant chain…Semgroup, an oil services company…they've all gone belly up.
"Restaurant chains close as diners reduce spending," the New York Times elaborates. The malls are emptying out, too.
*** "OBAMANIA" they're calling it. The Europeans went wild for Obama on his recent visit. They seem to see in the Democratic candidate a refreshing change. The French call him the "Black Kennedy." The Financial Times has a cartoon showing him walking on water, to rescue French president Sarkozy and German Chancellor Merkel.
Everyone wants a young, good-looking, smooth-talking winner in the White House, and Obama looks like a winner – at least at this stage of the campaign.

|For an overview of bottlecap mines in the Fallout series of games, see bottlecap mine.
The bottlecap mine is a weapon in Fallout 4.
The bottlecap mine is extremely powerful, but its construction requires a Vault-Tec lunchbox along with other, more common components.
The bottlecap mine is a crudely put together, yet formidable, explosive that one may create in Fallout 4.
Adhesive (2)
Fertilizer (2)
Oil (2)
Steel (2)
Demolition Expert Rank 1
Bottlecap Mine (1)
- One may be found next to the terminal in the Gorski cabin root cellar.
- Another may be found next to the Nuka-Cola machine and cigarette machine on the ground at Jalbert Brothers Disposal.
- Another can be found in the Corvega Assembly Plant.
- Two armed mines can be found in the building at Starlight Drive In.
- One can be found in Boston mayoral shelter near the elevator on the bottom level, in the end of a long pipe tunnel.
- A few may be found inside Kendall Hospital in Cambridge.
- Four can be found inside Plumber's Secret in Cambridge.
- Four can be found in a building between Fort Hagen and the Greater Mass blood clinic.
- The bottlecap mine does not use any bottle caps for construction (unlike in previous games featuring the mine), despite dropping a reasonable amount upon detonation. Like many crafted explosives in Fallout 4, the bottlecap mine utilizes fertilizer and oil in its construction.

Airline British Airways has signed a five-year enterprise print services contract with Xerox to improve efficiency.
British Airways said the managed print services will help the airline simplify its mail operation. Xerox will manage British Airways's internal and external mail as well as managing the production of in-flight printed material.
Mark McCarthy, procurement executive at British Airways, said: "British Airways has a culture of consistently improving customer service and we expect our providers to support us in keeping this level of commitment."
"With Xerox focused on printing and streamlining our document processes, we can use our energy and time to focus on bringing British Airways customers the best service in the sky," McCarthy added.
Xerox has partnered with outsourcing firm Mitie to create a mail and distribution services hub based in Uxbridge.
Stephen Cronin, president of Xerox global document outsourcing, said British Airways needed to tackle its complex back-office functions.
"With our expertise in document management,we have simplified and improved British Airways's mail-handling operation. The next phase of the project will migrate the airline's mail processing to a digital platform that feeds directly into its internal workflow, introducing further efficiencies," he said.
Xerox signed an agreement with British Airways in 1995. Xerox will continue to print up to 26 million documents a year for technical and training guides, in-flight publications and payroll printing.

The color purple is connected with a lot of symbolism in the Christian church, but do you know why?
Because purple dye was so expensive and rare back in the day, it was made law that only high officials and emperors could wear the color. As a result, purple because associated with wealth and power and was used as a way to honor Christ during Lent and Advent.
Today's purple background is far from expensive, but still gives a feeling of grandeur!

GeoBee Challenge HD by National Geographic
By National Geographic Society
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
This is a challenging game, so it's not for beginners...but do keep in mind that the National Geographic Bee is meant for kids in grades 4-8. Are you smarter than a 4th grader? If you need help studying, you should check out the National Geographic World Atlas HD app, also available on iTunes.
Three types of game play make sure you really know your stuff and never get bored.
In the multiple-choice round, answers come from a library of more than 1300 National Geographic Bee questions. In the map challenge round, you zoom, pinch and tap your way to find spots on an interactive map from a catalog of 1000+ locations. For an added challenge, bonus rounds include compelling National Geographic photographs where you have to locate what's in the photo on the interactive map...only we don't tell you where the photo was taken or what is in the picture!
The faster you answer, the more points you get! You have to keep up the pace to move on to the next round.
About National Geographic Bee:
Each year thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography. Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible for this entertaining and challenging test of geographic knowledge.
"GeoBee makes an excellent companion for long train rides or meals with dull people." - Slate
"Grab It. The first day of school is just around the corner. Here (is) an app that can be packed in alongside your kids' pencils and notebooks." – New York Daily News
MOBI Award FINALIST - Best Mobile Game 2010
Apple recommended - Back to school app!
What's New in Version 2.2
Dear GeoBee Challenge users, thank you for your patience during the last few weeks, as we rebuild the app to allow you to play on all the latest devices. The updated version has a few slight visual modifications, but it is the same game you know and love. Please continue to send your feedback to email@example.com, and good luck in the GeoBee Challenge!
- Universal build! Now iPhone and iPad are combined in one package.
Customer Reviews
Great...but please allow zoom in for more accurate answers
I would give this app five stars if it allowed the player to zoom in when selecting an exact location.
I teach world geography and would love to use this app with my class, however, I know my younger students will become easily frustrated when the app tells them a question is wrong when they are within 10 miles of the location.
It's frustrating to get a question partially wrong within 10 or so miles of the exact location. The app does not enable the player to zoom in enough to get exact location. It's a set up for failure.
I still love the app but would love to see the changes.
Can't really play this on a phone
Great concept, however you can't really play these quizzes properly on your iPhone, because they ask you to point to cities or countries and often your finger is as big as the entire continent! Because of this your score will be much lower than it should. I tried playing it with the pointer, but it just wouldn't work. Only my finger would work.
Also when playing the Maps rounds, sometimes half the map is covered. When you try to fix this, it automatically gives you a wrong answer. Very frustrating!
I hope these things can be fixed. If so, this will become a great app.
The best educational tool ever
This game is awesome. There is no better game than the GeoBee Challenge on the AppStore. It's really informative in funny way and I really appreciate this game from national geographic. I had this game on one of my devices and I was about to ask you to attend to some problems but I found out it was going to be a new update and the new update solved all of the problems i have had. I'm gonna play this game for many hours. This game will be the best educational tool you will ever find. I would have given more stars if I could.

Big Bear Rolls with Monterey Peninsula Auto Week
Posted by Rick Herrick | Monday, August 22, 2011 | Current News, General, Motor Sports, Sports |
Monterey CA, August 22, 2011 8:00 am: The results from the Monterey Peninsula for Big Bear were impressive in more ways than one. The Concourse Italiano was well attended and the presentation and setting at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch was better than any previous year. The cars were the best collection of Italian cars found anywhere perhaps outside Italy. Besides such names as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati one of the brand marks that attracted a lot of attention was the Fiat Abarth of Sam Cabiglio of Big Bear City. Sam, who is a renowned sports car collector, exotic car dealer and Porsche expert along with his son Gianni spent most of the day delightfully describing their small Italian gem. If the day was not long enough, later that afternoon Sam was called upon to help verify the authenticity of the serial number of a very rare and valuable 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. This perticular RS serial number was questioned in an on-line chat room prior to it's possible sale at the RM auction. High drama is created when hundreds of thousands of dollars are hanging on such verifications. In a weird twist a very similar 911 RS was being auctioned the next night at Russo and Steele and then with several helpers in tow, Cabiglio was able to get access and compare the serial numbers appearances. As the...Read More
Sam Cabiglio of Big Bear City Recognized For His Porsche Expertise
Posted by Rick Herrick | Friday, September 11, 2009 | Motor Sports, Sports |
Sam Cabiglio of Big Bear City, California is an expert on many thing's that are related to automobiles, but what makes him very special is his connection and knowledge of Porsche and Porsche racing history. Check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Porsche Video with Sam Cabiglio. Besides being a collector of sports cars and collector cars he has developed a business finding special cars for car collector clients around the world. With offices in Long Beach, California and now in the Monterey Bay area of California he has found special cars for the likes of Jerry Seinfeld. Some of Seinfeld's collection of rare Porsches includes the 600 horsepower 1969 917 Porsche used and owned by Steve McQueen for the famous race movie "Le Mans" staring Steve McQueen. And if that wasn't enough, Seinfeld also owns the 1970 Porsche 908/03 named the "Giant Killer" because it's compact agile size, light weight and ability to dominate races at Nurburging in Germany and Targo Florio in Italy. It went on to help Porsche clinch the 1970 Jerry Seinfeld's exhibition run at the 2009 Rolex Historic Races championship halfway through that race season. Then the "Giant Killer" raced for much of he 1970's with an astounding and hard to imagine, 1979 Le Mans finish of 2nd place overall. Both cars were show at the Rolex Historic Races on Saturday August 15 and...Read More

Anna Virginia's Profile
I'm Anna, and I first learned to crochet and sew around age five. I started off by making my dolls all of their own clothes. I would even wrap the clothes up and put them under the tree for the doll to open on Christmas!
I've been designing ever since! In high school I took sewing classes, and was always ahead in the class, but I still didn't know that it was my future. I finally realized after I'd already been in college for two years, and was getting ready to serve a mission for my Church. I found that clothing was something I loved to wear, modify, and design. Realizing that I want to help the world, clothing is a great path to follow because it is one of the three basic items that a person needs to survive; Food, Clothing and Shelter. With this talent, I can clothe the world, one item at a time.

The director further adds that he has a history of tasting success with casting new faces like Aindrita Ray and Kriti Kharbanda. He is hopeful of repeating the same this time too and wishes to give a good launchpad for the debutant.
However, Ajith is a remake of Tamil hit film Paiyaa, which starred Karthi and Tamanna Bhatia. It will be directed by Mahesh Babu, who has replaced Purushotham of Modalasala fame for unknown reasons. It has to be noted that the duo had earlier worked together in Chiru. The shooting is expected to start soon.

Reward Yourself With Things That Get You Closer to Your Goals
Eric Barker stashed this in Diabolical Plans For World Domination
Stashed in: Goals!, @bakadesuyo
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Be goal oriented ABOUT achieving goals:
When you're creating your goals, think about the overall lifestyle you want, not just something that would feel nice in the moment. If you're trying to lose weight, reward yourself by adding money to a new clothes fund, rather than eating something bad for you. If you're trying to be more productive with your side projects, reward yourself with a new notebook, not a lazy day watching Netflix. Focus your rewards on the new life you want, not just the goals you set.

Islamabad, Feb 14, 2008 : Pakistani police probing the assassination of Benazir Bhutto said on February 13 that they had a "major breakthrough" when two Islamist militants identified as Hasnain Gul and Rifaqat arrested last week confessed to giving her attacker a pistol and suicide vest.
Addressing a news conference in Rawalpindi, Deputy Inspector General Chaudhry Abdul Majeed said that the confession was a major piece of evidence in the case.

The Commons' all-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the two new documents would contain "broadly similar" biometric data, such as fingerprints and iris scans.
Officials at the Home Office's Identity and Passports Service (IPS) should eliminate overlap between the projects to reduce the combined purchase price, it said.
The committee was responding to a report published in February by Parliamentary spending watchdogs on the introduction of the electronic UK passport, which contains fingerprints of the holder stored in a microchip.
The report said: "The Home Office needs to explain the underlying rationale as to why citizens need an identity card as well as an ePassport, particularly as the ePassport offers broader utility in terms of global travel."
The National Audit Office report earlier this year voiced concerns that microchips in the new electronic passports only carry a two year warranty. No-one could predict how long the components would last in the documents, which are supposed to be valid for 10 years, it said.
The PAC said there was "public uncertainty" about whether individuals would have to pay for a replacement passport if the microchip stopped working before the document's expiry date.
Responding to the report, shadow home secretary David Davis said: "Even by standards of this cheap 'cut and run' government, paying for a 10 year passport that will not even last two years will deeply offend the tax payer. Having to pay a second time, for an ID card that risks making us less, not more, safe, will only add insult to injury."
The IPS signed an estimated £92 million contract with its supplier Security Printing and Systems Ltd to provide the chip units.
The total cost of the contract is estimated at £448 million over the 12 years from 1998 to 2010.Reuse content

Washington, August 1 (ANI): The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has approved and adopted the new international thermodynamic equation of state for seawater called TEOS-10.
A complex, dynamic mixture of dissolved minerals, salts, and organic material, seawater has historically presented difficulties in terms of determining its physical chemical properties.
For 30 years, climate models have relied on a series of equations called the International Equation of State of Seawater - or EOS-80, which uses the Practical Salinity Scale of seawater.
This equation was used to determine the pressure, volume, temperature proprieties of seawater.
Other thermodynamic properties, including heat capacity, enthalpy and sound speed were obtained using separate equations.
The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) established a working group to look at the thermodynamic properties of seawater in 2005.
This committee has established a fresh approach to seawater thermodynamics.
The new equation of state is in the form of a comprehensive free energy function that includes all of the thermodynamic properties of seawater.
The new thermodynamic equation of state will replace the widely-use EOS-80 with a new set of highly accurate and comprehensive formulas that provide necessary adjustments and clarifications to the original equation.
According to Dr. Frank Millero, professor of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, "The previous International Equation of State of Seawater, which expresses the density of seawater as a function of Practical Salinity, temperature and pressure, served the oceanographic community well for three decades."
"However, the new equation uses Absolute Salinity and is a compact 'one-stop-shop' of sorts that takes many variables that we hadn't previously included into account, and allows us to get at more precise numbers, which in turn, will make climate projections even more accurate," he said. (ANI)

Mumbai: Former Indian cricket team physiotherapist Dr Ali Irani made further shocking revelations that he carried parcels for all the cricketers, and not only Mohammad Azharuddin during the years he was with the team.In an interview to an eveninger here Irani said during the tours hotel bellhops used to deliver bags to his room and then each cricketer would pick up his bags. He did not mention whether he had any knowledge about the contents in the bags.The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s investigator Madhavan had found Irani guilty and called him a conduit between bookies and match-fixing cricketers. BCCI has banned him from having such posts again to which Irani plans to appeal."They (BCCI) are like parents," he pleaded.But in the interview he said he was conduit only in the sense that he used to be a sort of mediator or carrying cricket messages between boys and managers and also BCCI whenever there was a misunderstanding."Why should I fix matches for Rs 60,000 as has been alleged when the boys (cricketers) out of respect and appreciation used to share their prize and also logo money," he countered and informed that from cricket - as physio for 10 years - he had earned Rs 20 lakhs and showed it in his income sheet to Madhavan. Irani though is not denying that the element of match-fixing existed and told the interviewer that if investigations continue then more dirt will be found.UNI

Although I eat a lot of granola and listen to a lot of 60's music, if one of those idiots pointed a gun at me I would have responded in kind.
This is a discussion on Six to be charged in BWCA shooting spree within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; BWCA stands for Boundary Water Canoe Area here in MN.

BWCA stands for Boundary Water Canoe Area here in MN. A great place to tent camp and canoe.
"According to Lake County Undersheriff Jerry Norberg, a large number of campers on Basswood Lake called the sheriffs office in the late evening hours of Aug. 7 to report gunshots and threatening behavior by a group of men. Several reports claimed the group of males in two boats fired gunshots, used abusive language and made threats to harm or even kill others on the lake."
Now the typical response from the tree hugging, granola eating crowd could be summed up by this sentence, "Many of the complainants were traumatized by the incident and, rather than stay at their campsites, they hid in the woods."
How would you all have responded?

I would have probably set a security perimiter with camping companions, reconed the area to check the threat level and proximity of the BG's and then if necessary, strike camp and leave.
If decided it was relatively safe to remain in camp I would post a heightened 24 hr security watches with members of camping party.
These days, with all the looney nutcases who prey on those who are out off the beaten path, we always post at least one person around the clock in shifts for security.
I won't go on a camping trip or float trip with anyone who doesn't want to abide by that basic security principle.
If in a camping party with at least five or six people, I will insist on two at a time on watch.
A heightened state of security would require one guard to be away from the main camp site to do a stealth overwatch of the area from a short distance and free to move around. I also have a set of cheap $40 FRS walkie talkies that I bring on trips since they are small and light weight. Whether they get used or not depends on how we set up security and the area we are in.
I have tried to do at least one float trip a year with a friend of mine and some of his work friends. I was surprised that before I joined the group, none of them subscribed to this practice.

Had something happen like this ~10 years ago when I was still living in MN. It's sad to say that it was in a very small town everyone is your friend kinda place. But lakes do draw people from a lot of different areas.
Seeing this senario, reminded me of that night. Anyway
group out in boats could give you a distance of 100-200 yards. So you could not really see them. Running lights off (bad) Moon light would help possibly, due to the reflection on the water showing if they would approach. nothing stops them from going down the shore a bit and approaching from the sides though.
My night, thankfully, was just allot of words and them saying "we're going back to get the guns" but nothing ever happend. we all played it off. and later, slept it off.
it's amazing how a few years of experiance makes you look back and go "what were we thinking?"

|strong force
The fundamental force that mediates interactions between particles with color charge, such as quarks and gluons. The strong force binds quarks together to form baryons such as protons and neutrons, maintains the binding of protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei, and is responsible for many particle decay processes. Particles that interact through the strong force exchange gluons, much as particles involved in electromagnetic interactions exchange photons. Quark color, but not flavor, is changed by the exchange of gluons. The strong force is stronger than the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity, but has been known to apply only across distances the size of atomic nuclei or smaller. Also called color force, strong interaction, strong nuclear force.
In physics, the force that holds particles together in the atomic nucleus and the force that holds quarks together in elementary particles.
Note: As the name implies, this is the strongest force known in nature.

"Franzen's failure is ultimately not political but artistic. His realm is the creative, and in parroting those of the most meager imaginations, he has reversed the artist's aim. Liberalism doesn't only encroach upon things like opportunity and standard of living. It's what it does to the self that's most dangerous and pernicious. It pushes out the individual imagination and replaces it with wooden convictions. Before that wreaks havoc on a polity, it has its way with a mind. For a novelist, this is fatal. And so Franzen, a writer of copious narrative and descriptive gifts, ends up sounding like a 14-year-old who broke up his usual Daily Kos with his first read through Howard Zinn."
I suppose it would be churlish of me to ask that Greenwald actually engage Franzen's art before declaring him an artistic failure? Nah. Liberals fail because they're liberals. Seems like Commentary could use its own version of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
