Inside, there's a smaller-diameter (15-inch) steering wheel from Corvette Central that's right at home. Also finding a new home was a set of Dakota Digital gauges in the '62's original dash locations, as well as a Custom Autosound system that makes use of the OEM speaker location for a dual-cone speaker. New repro upholstery and a carpet set from Auto Custom Carpets completed the cabin's refit.
In all, the restoration-and-upgrade project took about a year. Gerald uses the '62 for fun drives, as well as taking it to shows and cruise-ins.
The '62 shares a garage with three '67 Sting Rays. The last C1s and C2s are Gerald's favorites. "It's one I wished I could have had back then," he says. "You know how it is, sometimes you just have to wait." But he isn't waiting to upgrade at least one of his midyears. "I've got the 'Street Shot' frame up under it, but I'm running a big-block, aluminum-head ZZ454 with Tri-Power in it. It looks almost factory original. To most people, this car will look original. To those that really know, they'll see the A-arms and stuff like that and know that it's an aftermarket frame." He's putting a Tremec five-speed and a Dana 44 rearend in the car, as well as big disc brakes all around.
Upgrading the brakes, as well as the steering, are the best things that anyone looking to build or restore a Corvette can do, according to Gerald, who says that the original parts-especially the steering-can cause lots of trouble. "You've got so much linkage, and you get a little play here and there, and it compounds. Before you know it, you're all over the place with it."

GREENFIELD — With the Republicans rallying last week and the Democrats this week, national conventions have put excitement in the air for the Nov. 6 election.
And while all eyes go to the top of the ballot for the hottest races, local candidates are hoping for some of the spotlight in their quest for county or state seats.
In addition to seven school board races in four local districts, there are several contested races in Hancock County. County council, commissioner and coroner seats are up for grabs, along with spots in the state Legislature.
With several new names mixed with a few familiar faces, it could be difficult for voters to keep up with the choices. Here is a glance at what voters can expect to see in the next two months in county races.

The ClimateWorks Foundation supports public policies that help prevent dangerous climate change tied to global warming. With network partners across the world, the foundation supports a global team of organizations and experts within sectors and geographic regions where there is the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the United States, China, India, Latin America and Europe.
With teams focused on transportation, energy efficiency, climate policy, forestry and renewable energy, ClimateWorks needed a central, secure place to harness knowledge and share ideas openly across these sectors. To support this effort, ClimateWorks chose Socialtext's enterprise social software platform.
The addition of Socialtext is part of a broader knowledge exchange program occurring at ClimateWorks to support their global mission to achieve substantial carbon abatement by the year 2020. Socialtext will serve as a social intranet and private extranet with partners, where ClimateWorks employees and network organizations can connect with colleagues across the globe and access the relevant information they need to achieve their combined mission.
Like many Socialtext clients, ClimateWorks decided to give their social intranet a custom name: CWKX (ClimateWorks Knowledge eXchange).
"CWKX provides the toolkit for optimizing the collaborative creation, capture, organization and sharing of knowledge throughout the entire ClimateWorks Network of partners and affiliates," says Sarah Nichols, director of knowledge management at ClimateWorks.
Inside CWKX, every group (whether a strategy team, an external network partner, or internal department) has a workspace where members post the latest scientific and technical research, collaborate on important documentation, discuss strategy proposals, ask for and receive expert advice, post updates, or plan regional and sector summits.
Previously, Sarah says, most of this collaboration was done via ad-hoc methods. People would email colleagues with updates or documents. "Reply-all" emails would include various changes, and it became very difficult for people to find the experts and information they needed in order to do their best work.
Now that these interactions are moving into CWKX, "we capture critical institutional knowledge that's searchable, taggable and easy to find later. Important information doesn't disappear in an email box or languish on a shared drive. Employees send short messages via Signals, and have deep collaboration inside CWKX workspaces."
"At any given moment, we want our network partners to be able to pull together the right colleagues and information they need to tackle the incredibly important challenge the world faces with climate change," Sarah says. "Our new intranet built on Socialtext helps us deliver on that vision."

President Obama should "reset" his relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Washington Post wrote in an editorial.
"The wise U.S. policy would be to concede, and maybe even welcome, Mr. Netanyahu's reelection while quietly urging him to construct a centrist government," urged the editorial published on Jan. 22, Election Day in Israel.
The editorial presumes that Netanyahu will be elected to a third term as Israel's prime minister, saying, "No scenario contemplated by political analysts foresees anyone other than Mr. Netanyahu emerging as prime minister from the bargaining that will follow Tuesday's election."
The editorial points out that Netanyahu has not been afraid to play up his "his notoriously bad relations" with Obama, something that would have been political suicide in previous election years. It also points out that a recent poll showed that half of Israelis believe the country's leaders should pursue his policies "even if they lead to conflict with the United States."
The editorial conceded Obama's "poor handling of Israel, which he has not visited and where he is widely regarded as supportive of the nation's defense but unsympathetic to its psyche."

Hardest ab workout DVD I own,
October 16, 2009ByLeanne (San Diego, CA) –
This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's STS Ab Circuits DVD
I got this DVD when I ordered Cathe F.'s entire STS series — and it is seriously the hardest ab DVD I have (out of about 125+ workout DVD's that I own). You definitely want to be a more intermediate or advanced exerciser for this one; if you're just starting out or want something a bit easier, then I'd recommend Cathe's Core Max, which is also great.
That being said, this is an amazing DVD that has a great variety of options. Just be warned that you will need some equipment if you plan on doing all seven workouts: a stability ball, a medicine ball, some ankle weights, and some Gliding Disks or Val Slides.
Great workouts from Cathe!

These exercises sneak up on you!,
December 11, 2010ByNancy Loderick "Internet strategist" (Boston, MA) –
This review is from: Cathe Friedrich's STS Ab Circuits DVD
This DVD has 7 ab routines and is part of Cathe's Shock Training System (STS). When I used this DVD as part of my first STS rotation, I didn't like it because I didn't think any of the routines were as intense as some of Cathe's other ab workouts. Well, I have changed my mind!
I am doing a second round of STS and truly following my 1 rep max. I'm really focusing on good form and engaging my core with every weight routine. This makes all the difference in the world! As I now do these ab routines, I'm really feeling them.
The 7 ab routines:
*Yoga-inspired abs
*Pilates-inspired abs
*Weights and plates abs
*Stability ball abs
*No-equipment abs
*Medicine ball abs
*Medicine ball abs with a partner.
My favorite routines are the no-equipment and the weights and plates. They are the toughest routines on this DVD.
My least favorite was the yoga-inspired ab routine. I thought Cathe did way too many of the side planks in this one; I wished she had included some other yoga-based ab exercises.
I highly recommend this DVD for those wanting some tough ab workouts. With the different routines you will never get bored!

Statement of Significance (as of designation - January 20, 1961):
This Landmark was the scene of George Washington's crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night 1776 to raid Trenton, thereby rescuing the waning America's struggle for independence. By this daring act Washington carried the war to the enemy and gave oft-defeated army a taste of victory at the war's lowest ebb.
Adjacent housing and mall development continue to erode the resource's surroundings on the Pennsylvania section of this Landmark.
Recommendation/Change since last report:
A land management plan is needed to determine acceptable types of land use and available methods of protection. Acquisition by private organizations or state and local governments to prevent further development should be encouraged. When this is not feasible, the National Park Service and the Pennsylvania and New Jersey State Historic Preservation Offices should work with local community leaders and other agencies including the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks to establish design guidelines and local ordinances to ensure the compatibility of all new construction.

Many people have questions about human papillomavirus (HPV) and the vaccine that prevents it. Here, you can find a compilation to some common questions. Questions are grouped into the following categories:
Even if you had the HPV vaccine, you could still develop genital warts if you were infected with a strain of HPV not contained in the vaccine. You may want to consider visiting your healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis since what you think is genital warts could be something else. If you do have genital warts, your doctor can go over treatment options with you depending on your particular situation. You can read the information about treating genital warts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Yes, a woman can be exposed to HPV if she has oral sex with a man who has an HPV infection (with or without current symptoms). If this happens, the infection will occur in the mucosal areas of her mouth, such as in cells in her throat. In most cases, the woman's immune system will clear the infection without any symptoms. In very rare cases, the virus will persist and cause a condition known as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). People with RRP develop warts in their throat which can become large enough that they cause hoarseness or trouble breathing.
HPV infects epithelial cells that line mucosal surfaces of the body. When HPV enters these cells, such in the throat, genital tract or anus, it causes the cells to produce HPV proteins. In most cases, the immune system recognizes the cells that are infected and eliminates them, clearing the infection. However, in some instances a persistent infection occurs causing the cells to mutate, or change. These mutations can ultimately lead to cancer.
Yes, in fact, most people do not know when they are infected with HPV. So, even if your partner does not have any symptoms of an HPV infection, he or she can still pass the virus to you.
Genital warts typically develop four weeks to eight months after contracting one of the types of HPV that cause genital warts. However, HPV can also remain dormant for several years before genital warts appear.
HPV is spread through genital contact, most often, but not always, during sex. Most people don't know they have HPV, so they often don't realize they are spreading the virus. Since HPV is so common, the best way to reduce your chance of getting infected is to be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine.
HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases among both men and women in the United States. Currently, about 20 million Americans are infected with HPV and every year, about 6 million new infections occur.
HPV causes cervical cancer, one of the most common cancers in women. Every year in the United States, 11,000 women get cervical cancer and about 4,000 women die from the disease. Worldwide, the total number of deaths from cervical cancer every year is about 300,000. HPV is also known to cause genital warts as well as cancers of the penis, vagina, vulva, anus and oropharynx.
Progression from an initial HPV infection to cancer requires prolonged infection with a type of HPV that causes cancer. For this reason, cervical cancer typically develops 20 to 25 years after the initial HPV infection. Regular Pap tests and HPV tests will help your doctor monitor for pre-cancerous changes to the cells of the cervix.
Yes. Although most infections occur following intercourse, HPV may also be passed on during oral sex and genital-to-genital contact. Even more rarely, a mom can transmit the virus to her baby during birth.
Because most people do not develop symptoms of infection, they do not know they are infected. To avoid or decrease the chance of exposure, you can abstain from sexual activity, limit the number of sexual partners you have and use condoms. Unfortunately, other than abstinence, none of these methods offers complete protection.
Yes, in some people the virus causes changes in cells that lead to the development of cancer.
Most HPV infections clear on their own in a few years without causing any health problems. While there are no treatments for the infection, there are supportive treatments for the health problems caused by HPV, such as genital warts and cancers.
Although there is no approved test for men to know their "HPV status," most HPV infections resolve without causing any problems. The problems caused by HPV in men can include genital warts, anal and penile cancers, or cancers of the oropharynx. There are ways to check for those:
Although there are not treatments for HPV, there are supportive treatments for the health problems caused by HPV.
The CDC has an excellent fact sheet related to men and HPV that can provide you with a wealth of additional information.
Yes, in fact, most people (9 of every 10) do clear the infection within two years, often never having symptoms. For those who don't clear the infection (the remaining 1 of every 10 people), they may suffer from genital warts, cervical cancer or other cancers.
Yes, a woman can pass the infection to a partner as well as to her baby during birth, although the latter is fairly uncommon. While the infection is most commonly transmitted through intercourse, the virus can also be passed to one's partner during genital-to-genital contact or oral sex.
Yes, you can be infected with more than one type of HPV at a time.
In rare instances, mothers with genital HPV can pass the virus to their baby during vaginal delivery. A small number of these babies go on to develop recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a condition in which tumors grow in the throat, sometimes causing hoarseness and difficulty breathing, talking and swallowing. While the tumors can be surgically removed, they tend to grow back. Some people with RRP require regular surgical intervention. RRP can also cause a disease of the lungs that resembles cystic fibrosis.
A link between HPV and miscarriage, premature delivery or other complications has not been found.
Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Although the HPV vaccine has not been found to cause harm to a woman or her fetus, it is recommended to wait until after delivery to start or continue with the series.
If you got the vaccine while you were pregnant, you do not need to take any special precautions. However, you or your doctor should report the exposure to athe appropriate registry that has been established to keep track of these occurrences:
You should wait until after you deliver to get the remaining doses of vaccine. There is no indication that the vaccine causes harm to you or your unborn baby, but it is recommended to wait just to be safe. After you deliver, you can resume the process of getting the remaining doses.
If you have an abnormal Pap test, an HPV test may be suggested to determine if human papillomavirus DNA is present in the cells of the cervix. If the results of the HPV test are positive, your doctor will determine how frequently you should be tested. In addition to HPV and Pap tests, a colposcopy or biopsy may be suggested. A colposcopy magnifies the cells of the cervix and a biopsy takes a sample of cervical cells
According to the National Cancer Institute, women should get their first Pap test at age 21, and then once every three years until they turn 29. Women who are 30 to 65 years old should have both Pap and HPV tests performed every five years, or a Pap test alone every three years. Women who have an irregular Pap test or who are at risk due to other factors, such infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or previous diagnosis of cervical cancer, may be required to get tested more frequently. Visit the National Cancer Institute website for more information.
No, HPV tests should not replace routine Pap tests for two reasons:
For more information about HPV and Pap tests, please visit "HPV testing: What you should know" in the Feature Article Archive section of the Parents PACK page»
Yes. The HPV test is used to determine if HPV DNA is present in the cells of the cervix. Positive results mean that your cervix has the types of HPV commonly linked to cervical cancer; however, a positive result does not mean you have cervical cancer. Based on the results, your doctor will determine how frequently you should be tested and whether other tests should be performed. Currently, HPV tests are recommended for all women 30 years and older and any woman 21 to 29 years old who has had an irregular Pap test.
There are two tests women commonly have related to HPV:
The CDC has a great information page about the different test results and what they mean.
STD testing is not the same for every person as it depends upon individual risk factors. For HPV, there is no test for males. For females, HPV can be detected by either Pap tests or an HPV test. The Mayo Clinic has a good discussion regarding how to determine what STD tests you may need and what is available.
Yes. The HPV vaccine does not contain all of the types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer; therefore, it is important to continue getting Pap tests.
Yes. You should still get the HPV vaccine even if you have had an abnormal Pap test because even if you have been infected with HPV, it is not likely that you have been infected with all of the types that the vaccine protects against. So, you can still benefit from protection afforded by the HPV vaccine.
No. HPV infections do not cause infertility, except indirectly in cases when they progress to cervical cancer, so it is not biologically plausible that the HPV vaccine would lead to infertility. To the contrary, since the HPV vaccine decreases the number of cases of cervical cancer, it may indirectly decrease the number of women unable to have a baby.
We do not know for sure whether immunity will last a lifetime; however, the data are reassuring. First, the vaccine has been studied for almost 10 years at this point, and there is not a sign of waning immunity in those who received the vaccine that long ago. Second, the immune responses generated by the vaccine are stronger than those invoked after natural infection. Finally, the hepatitis B vaccine, which uses similar technology, induces a memory response that lasts at least 25 years.
Yes, it is possible. There are two HPV vaccines: Gardasil® and Cervarix®. Gardasil protects against four types of HPV while Cervarix protects against two types. Both vaccines protect against the two strains of HPV that most commonly cause cervical cancer; however, only Gardasil protects against two types of HPV that most commonly cause genital warts. Further, Gardasil only protects against 9 of every 10 cases of genital warts.
A female who got all three doses of Cervarix could still get genital warts because she was not protected against any of the types that cause genital warts. Males and females who receive Gardasil could still get genital warts if they are infected with a type of HPV that causes genital warts but was not in the vaccine.
Both HPV vaccines currently available contain the two strains of HPV that most commonly cause cervical cancer. In fact, about 7 of 10 cases of cervical cancer are the result of infections with these strains, so the vaccine will help to significantly reduce a woman's chance of getting cervical cancer. However, because there is still a possibility of getting cervical cancer from one of the types of HPV not contained in the vaccine, women should continue to get regular Pap tests. In addition, the vaccine does not protect against other sexually-transmitted diseases, so practicing safe sex is also important.
As with other vaccines, the immune response will take about one to two weeks to develop and will become more complete after each dose. Best protection may not be realized until all three doses of the HPV vaccine are completed.
Also realize that the HPV vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV or all STDs. Therefore, it will be important to continue practicing safe sex and getting regular Pap tests.
Yes. The HPV vaccine does not prevent all types of HPV or other types of sexually-transmitted diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a helpful fact sheet about the use of condoms.
You should start by checking with your primary healthcare provider. If you cannot get the vaccine from their office, you should also check with your gynecologist, the local health department or a local pharmacy. The manufacturer of one of the HPV vaccines, Merck, also has an adult vaccine locator on their website that might also be of help.
Yes. A few studies have looked at this and none has found that receiving the HPV vaccine causes girls to become promiscuous or engage in sexual activity at an earlier age. One such study by Robert Bednarczyk and colleagues, published October 2012 in Pediatrics, compared the medical records of 493 girls who received the HPV vaccine and 905 who didn't. The study found no difference between the two groups in regards to incidence of pregnancies, tests for or diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and contraceptive counseling. Based on these results, the authors of the study reported that the HPV vaccine "was not associated with increased sexual activity-related outcomes."
HPV booster doses are not expected to be necessary; however, public health officials will continue to monitor rates of disease to watch for waning immunity.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for adolescents between 11 and 12 years of age, and all teenagers and adults between 13 and 26 years of age who did not get the vaccine when they were younger. Children as young as 9 years old can also receive the HPV vaccine. Males can only get the version of the vaccine known as Gardasil®.
Three doses of the HPV vaccine are recommended. The second shot should be administered one to two months after the first shot. The third (final) shot should be administered six months after the first shot.
The HPV vaccine was introduced in 2006, and according to an article published in the July 2012 issue of Pediatrics, use of the HPV vaccine has resulted not only in lower rates of infection among those who were vaccinated, but also to some degree in those who have not been vaccinated. This phenomenon is commonly known as herd immunity.
You should still consider getting the vaccine for two reasons. First, additional studies are needed to reproduce these findings. Second, while herd immunity might lessen your chance of coming into contact with the virus, the vaccine will decrease your chance of infection if you do come into contact with it.
If you already have genital warts, the HPV vaccine will not treat them. However, the vaccine may still protect you against other types of HPV to which you were not previously exposed. Consult your doctor about medicines and procedures that may be used to treat genital warts.
The current HPV vaccines protect against two types of HPV that are the most common causes of cervical cancer. Together, these two types of HPV cause about 70 of every 100 cases of cervical cancer. Other HPV types that cause cancer have been identified, so it is still possible for people who have been vaccinated to get cervical cancer. This is one of the reasons why women should continue to get Pap tests.
No. You can just resume where you left off.
The known side effects of the HPV vaccine include pain, redness or swelling at the injection site. In addition, because teens tend to faint more easily, fainting has been associated with vaccines given to this age group. Because of this, your teen should remain seated or lying down at the doctor's office for about 15 minutes after getting the vaccine.
Reports of blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, chronic fatigue syndrome and even death have occurred after receipt of this vaccine; however, reviews of individual cases as well as controlled studies looking at groups of people who did and did not get the vaccine have shown that none of these problems were caused by the HPV vaccine.
HPV vaccines contain higher concentrations of salt than other vaccines, so they may hurt a bit more when they are administered. However, you can suggest one of the following to make your daughter more comfortable while getting the shot:
Two HPV vaccines are available. One, Gardasil®, protects against four types of HPV – two types that commonly cause cervical cancer and two types that cause genital warts. It was tested for safety in both girls and boys. The other, Cervarix®, protects against the two types of HPV that commonly cause cervical cancer, but does not protect against the types that cause genital warts. Therefore, boys are recommended to receive Gardasil.
The HPV vaccine is recommended before the start of sexual activity for two reasons:
Yes. The reason to still get the HPV vaccine even if you are already sexually active is that you may not have been exposed to all of the types of HPV that are contained in the vaccine.
Although HPV is a known cause of cervical cancer, the virus can also cause other cancers of the reproductive tract, anal cancer, penile cancer, genital warts, and on occasion, cancers of the head and neck. In fact, about 1 of every 3 cases of HPV-related cancers are in boys or men. Because vaccinating boys will also decrease the spread of the virus, they will not only protect themselves, but also their sexual partners.
No. The HPV vaccine is made using a protein from the surface of the HPV virus. Although the protein folds itself to look like a viral particle in a microscope, it does not contain any genetic material, so it cannot replicate and cause an infection. Because the proteins look like a viral particle, scientists refer to them as "virus-like particles."
No. The vaccine does not protect against any other STD. In fact, since there are more than 100 types of HPV, it does not even protect against all types of HPV. One of the vaccines (Gardasil®) protects against four of the most common strains of HPV, and the other (Cervarix®) protects against two types.
Yes. The HPV vaccine can be given at the same time as other vaccines recommended at this age, including the vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) and the one for meningococcus. If it is influenza vaccine season, this vaccine can be given as well.
Yes, you can still get the HPV vaccine even if you have had sexual intercourse. While you may have been exposed to one or more types of HPV, it is unlikely that you would have been exposed to all of the types that the vaccine protects against, so it may still be of benefit for you.
No. Currently, the vaccine is only licensed for women up to 26 years of age because safety and efficacy studies in women older than that have not yet been completed.
The HPV vaccine may cause redness, swelling and tenderness at the site of the injection. Some people may faint when they get the vaccine, so people are advised to stay at the doctor's office for 15-20 minutes after getting the vaccine.
Because vaccines are given to healthy children, they are held to a strict standard of safety. What that means for us as consumers is that before a vaccine is ever recommended for the general population it has been tested in thousands and thousands of children through carefully controlled scientific studies. So while they are "new" recommendations, the vaccines have often been studied for years.
For example, HPV vaccines were tested in more than 30,000 women whose health was monitored for about seven years before the vaccine was approved and recommended. Long-term studies continued to monitor vaccine safety in about 190,000 women after the HPV vaccine was licensed. Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has networks that continue to monitor all vaccines in real time, so that any safety concern would come to attention quickly. At this point, more than 40 million doses of HPV vaccines have been given.
Some teens are more prone to fainting after getting the vaccine; therefore, all teens are recommended to wait at the doctor's office for 15 minutes to be sure they are okay.
If your boyfriend has an HPV infection (with or without symptoms), you can still be infected with HPV even when using a condom for two reasons. First, because condoms aren't foolproof at containing the virus, you could still be infected and, second, while HPV is most often transmitted during sexual intercourse, it can also be transmitted during oral sex or during genital-to-genital contact.

Puente del Inca, Mendoza
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
Puente del Inca is a natura bridge made after thousands of years of water erosion. A river of mineral water runs through it
The legend says that once upon a time an Inca prince was terribly ill, his father was informed of a river whose water could heal his son. He took his son together with his servants to this river but they need it to cross it in order to reach a place where they could get water and there was no bridge. The prince's father felt really sad because his son would die for sure and he prayed to Inti, the god of the sun who felt really sorry for him and his son and made a bridge for them to cross.
Puente del Inca is a natural stone bridge used by the Incas to cross the Río de las Cuevas. It's located at 2720m (8920ft) above the sea level, on the way to the Aconcagua and to the Chilean border. Under the bridge you will see the remains of an old spa that once belonged to a hotel which was destroyed in an avalanche. The rock walls and the spa are stained yellow by the warm, sulphurous thermal springs that still flow through here. Although until a year ago you could bring your bathing suit and take a dip, now it has been closed to the public.

Scott - will be cherry picking your tute for any tips that might make this tedious process easier. Should have found it sooner! lol
My tutorial is less about conversions and more about just getting the hair to look OK on an incompatible figure…however the RAMWolff method may be more useful to you, especially for conversion from prop hair to Genesis-compatible figure. Some of the hairstyles he tried it on were yours. I link to it in my tut but here's a direct link too. I hope you find some useful information in my tutorial, too, but I'd be surprised if you didn't already know most (or all) of it!
Good to see some new versions of your older hair hitting the store. I know it's extra work to support various figures from different generations…but we customers really appreciate it!
Edited to add: Congratulations on ten years at DAZ!

Letters: North County, Feb. 3, 2013
In "Climate change and evolution" (Aug. 18), I provided peer-reviewed scientific references that support the validity of this statement. Woolley's requirement for proof of the theory linking carbon dioxide levels and global temperature demonstrates his lack of understanding of how science works.
A theory can never be totally validated and proven (mathematical theorems can). It can be supported by evidence available at the time, but it is always open to new discoveries that may further validate, revise or refute it.
For example, Newton's three-centuries-old theory of universal gravitational attraction is still a theory, although it is far-fetched to think it is wrong.
The world's best scientists have validated the case for human-induced climate change. The evidence available is overwhelmingly compelling that carbon dioxide is associated with globally increasing temperatures.
A debunking of claims by global warming deniers like Woolley can be found at www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php. This lists 173 "Climate Myths" that are shown to be bogus based on a huge number of peer reviewed scientific papers.

Save Desert Rose
project in Encinitas
This is in response to Barbara Henry's article of Jan. 26 regarding the Encinitas City Council meeting to hear an appeal of a proposed high-density project ("City Council delays vote on housing development").
The City Council was presented ample evidence to support the Planning Commission's ruling on the proposed Desert Rose project. If the council felt unable to reach a decision regarding the appeal, they could have at least required a full Environmental Impact Report of the developer. It seemed that the threat and fear of litigation loomed large in their minds. This threat was reinforced by comments from the developer's attorney.
I urge the council to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission and not to succumb to the bluster and threats of litigation by the developer's attorney.

What a country
I was so proud to be an American on Monday, Jan. 21. To see President Obama's second inauguration, the spirit on the National Mall was wonderful.
I hope that spirit will carry on for all the tough months ahead. Many problems and decisions need to be dealt with in 2013.
Now is the time for all three branches of the government to come together and do what is right for the whole country, not what is best for the red, not what is best for the blue, but what is best for the red, white and blue.
God bless America.

First drive: our debut in the Pagani Huayra
18 months since he first saw it, Tom Ford finally gets a go in the mental 730bhp Huayra
Posted: 08 Jun 2012
Ok, so it's good for dynamics, but rubbish at slow-speed stuff. Which does raise a few eyebrows at first. Happily, the dynamics are impressive, which helps. You can see out of the car, it feels relatively small, rides brilliantly and has excellent steering feel. It also manages to absorb bumps with a liquid softness that inspires confidence and manages a lack of roll without a spine-cracking ride. Which is nice. It also refuses to try and bite your arm off, even with the ESP switched off, though this is still a 730bhp car that weighs 1350kg. Be warned people, third gear wheelspin is eminently possible.
But that's all a bit by-the-by as soon as you hit the throttle. Because the engine is absolutely, one-hundred percent mental. Boost is hard and insistent, and the car sounds like a literal explosion. It's not pretty, or operatic, but it is something you can't help wanting to experience again and again. And again. Dumpvalves choosh, exhausts hum, things whine. It's like an exploding jet engine. With a gearbox.
It's also fast enough to make you squeak, though it does get a little light at silly speeds, and when it decides to oversteer – which it does eventually – the boost makes it much harder to guage accurately than the Zonda. Not that I ever managed to guage that very accurately either, it has to be said. The flaps operate above 50mph, and act as airbrakes and stabilisers, though on the roads I was on it was hard to figure out if they were doing anything too specific. Later on the motorway, I'm sure they helped stability in hard braking from high speed, but I'd need to hit a track to figure out the finer points – the Huayra is too fast for extended full-bore runs on a public road. Anyone who tells you different should think about the size of the accident you'd likely have, and how much of Italy you'd scrape off the map.
For the full pictures and story, you need the next issue of Top Gear magazine – out 20 June 2012

From 'Leave It to Beaver' to 'The Good Wife,' 40 years of TV mom fashionAdd to Favorites | Leave It to Beaver
Mother's Day should be a reprieve for moms, granting them a guiltless day in pajamas. For those who want to loll on the couch, clicking through channels, here's a fashion show of TV moms through the decades.
Their clothes have kept pace with the times since June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley) wore a starched shirtwaist dress, pearls and heels, her hair coiffed and lipstick applied -- at all times.
Well, maybe most moms during the 1957-63 run of "Leave It to Beaver" weren't quite that turned out as they contentedly made the beds and did the dishes.
By the time Carol Brady was rocking her polyester flared pantsuits on "The Brady Bunch" (1969-74), the look and times had changed. Mrs. Brady was perfectly turned out in minis (though not too short), even if she was a little groovier than most of her suburban counterparts.
It wasn't until Clair Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) on "The Cosby Show" (1984-92) that we saw a professional in a healthy marriage, balancing her family and job.
She was pulled together, but her outfits always seemed plausible and possible. Could any mom have pulled on this look of a beige blazer, striped trousers and white blouse? Yes. Would she have laughed as easily and often? Well, that was Clair's special gift.
TV moms may have costume designers stocking their closets and funny husbands, such as
Bill Cosby, but until "Roseanne" (1988-97), they didn't seem as real as most people.
Roseanne Barr was about as real as it gets, from the afghan covering her couch to clothes that looked as if she bought them in the remainder bin and didn't really care if they fit that well, as long as her kids had shoes.
It was Doris Roberts' Marie Barone on "Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996-2005) who captured the ultimate mother-in-law and mom. Her hair told of a standing weekly appointment, her outfits were impeccable and probably highly flammable, but she had that mom, grandma and mother-in-law look down.
While Marie's life revolved only around her family, Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) universe is broader. She took off over a decade to tend to her children and husband, and when she had to return to work, she plunged in. And as she went from associate to partner to opening her own firm, her wardrobe went up a notch.
Alicia's mother-in-law has castigated her for wearing expensive clothes, but she loves her Dior suits and exquisite dresses.
Here is someone not unlike Mrs. Cleaver, in that she's dressed, coiffed and in high heels very early in the day. But instead of heading upstairs to make beds, Alicia strides out to win cases, making her very much the quintessential modern mom.
Of course, on Mother's Day she, too, might want to spend the day lounging about in yoga pants and a sloppy top.

Claret and Blue
Chris Burton catches up with Kieran Trippier, a Man City youngster making a big noise at Burnley.
Last Updated: 07/10/11 5:59pm
Getting yourself noticed at a Premier League club is hard enough at the best of times, never mind when that club is Manchester City.
With Roberto Mancini working with unimaginable riches, City are in the enviable position of being able to cherry pick the cream of the footballing crop.
This may be good news for those in the senior set-up, with last season's FA Cup success and an impressive opening to the 2011/12 campaign suggesting an exciting new chapter in the club's history is in the process of being etched.
It is, however, not such good news for those emerging from the Academy ranks.
With only 25 places in a Premier League squad up for grabs, and with City's ranks brimming with international superstars, the stars of tomorrow may struggle to get a look in.
It can be argued that true talent always shines through and that even a club like City will be prepared to give youngsters a chance if they prove that they are worthy of such opportunities.
It is difficult, though, to blood Academy graduates into a side that is expected to win every game it plays and challenge for major honours.
As a result, some of City's more promising starlets are having to look elsewhere for games.
With it vital to get experience under their belts, the likes of Kieran Trippier have decided that loan spells away from the Etihad Stadium are the way forward.
The 21-year-old full-back has seen his decision to take the plunge rewarded with England U21 recognition and City's Young Player of the Year gong for 2010/11.
Trippier is held in high regard by Mancini and his coaching staff and played a prominent role in the club's pre-season tour of the United States.
He has, however, opted to head out on loan again this term and believes he can only benefit from a season-long stint at Burnley - with regular football at Turf Moor intended to return him to City next summer a more complete player.
"That's why I came out on loan to Burnley from Man City," Trippier told skysports.com's Chris Burton.
"I need to try and get as many games as I can while I'm young and get experience. Coming up against players of Championship quality is only going to make me a better player."
The ultimate aim, though, is still to make the grade at City.
He added: "That has been my dream since I was 10 years old, to play for Manchester City. Obviously they have gone out and spent a lot of money, but I just need to concentrate on my own game and try to play well. The manager and scouts will be watching and they will report back and say how well I have done. Hopefully next season I will get a chance. If I get one, I will grab it."
City are keeping a close eye on Trippier's progress, with Mancini keen to know how all of his loan stars are faring during their time away from the Eastlands spotlight.
"I get a phone call from the scouts when they come and watch me," said Trippier.
"They have been quite a lot this season and I think I have had a good start to the season at Burnley. The manager will take that on board and keep a close eye on me."
Playing games and catching the eye is also imperative if he has any ambition of remaining part of Stuart Pearce's U21 plans.
"It's a privilege to play for your country, even if you are just selected in the squad and don't play," said Trippier.
"Being in and around the players can only be good. Most of them are playing in the Premier League week in, week out and that's my obvious aim. But for now I just have to concentrate on Burnley and playing as well as I can. If I do that, hopefully I can get a call-up."
This is not the first time Trippier has taken in a loan spell in the Championship, with the last two campaigns seeing him spend time with Barnsley.
Last season saw him make over 40 appearances for the Tykes and he feels he benefited from his time at Oakwell and is now looking to take the next step.
"I was there last year and played a lot of games," he said.
"That gave me a lot of confidence. I was looking to take that into this season and do even better, try and better last year and become a better player. I think I have done that.
"In the Carling Cup and everything else I think I made about 42 appearances. My aim this year is to try and play as many games as possible. We will see how it goes.
"Last year I gained a lot of experience. It wasn't my first time out on loan, but it was the first time I'd played that amount of games. I have been able to take that into another Championship season. This year is even tougher because there has been a lot of money spent by teams like Leicester and it's a very strong league with the likes of West Ham coming down.
"I have to give respect to Barnsley as they are a good club but this year at Burnley, they are a very strong team. I have found it more settled on the pitch and a bit easier at times."
Trippier has wasted no time finding his feet at Turf Moor and admits he is already feeling at home, with Burnley's recent results giving cause for optimism.
He said: "I have settled very quickly, quicker than I expected really. But before I came I knew a few of the lads anyway and that helped me. That helped a lot. Everything has gone really well.
"We had a few injuries, that didn't help and was a bit of a blow. We didn't have a home win under our belt and we lost a few games and hadn't kept a clean sheet. But now we have picked up back-to-back wins. We beat Millwall down at their place, so that was a big boost."
The international break has broken the momentum established by consecutive victories in the Championship, but Trippier is confident the Clarets can pick up where they left off when domestic action resumes.
"It probably has come at a bad time," he said.
"We were flying so it's just unfortunate really. I think will come back strong. We have got Reading at home in our first game back so hopefully we can pick it up straight away."
The outlook appears bright for Burnley with the club, following their relegation out of the Premier League in 2009/10, now working with a young squad and a highly-rated manager in Eddie Howe.
"Eddie Howe's a very good manager," said Trippier.
"He did well when he was at Bournemouth and he's done a good job since he's been at Burnley. He has a lot of respect for the players. I think he will do very well for the club."
Can the Clarets return to the top flight, though, and does Trippier believe he will get the opportunity to experience a promotion party before making the short journey back to Manchester?
"That's the main aim," he said.
"It's up to the players and I feel the squad we have is more than capable of getting into the Premier League. We have a very strong squad here. Hopefully we can get the results that we need and then I don't see why we can't get promoted this year."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

My kids love the music and humor in the show; not to mention, they love anything that features fish or characters that resemble fish. I find Bubble Guppies to entertaining and cute, as well. I think the characters are magical, fun with a great upbeat, amazing adventures, and ear catching songs. I get the theme song stuck in my head on a regular basis,
Finally, kids can play with their favorite Bubble Guppies characters at home and recreate Bubbletucky in your own living room. I was so excited that Fisher-Price was making the toys. I always love the quality of Fisher-Price.
The full Bubble Guppies line from Fisher-Price includes:
- Rock & Roll Stage
- Fin-Tastic Guitar
- Rockin' Micro-Fin™
- Splash & Surprise Molly
- Rock & Roll Bubble Guppies Assortment
- Bubble Guppies Vehicle Assortment
- Bubble Guppies Bath Squirters Assortment
- Bubble Guppies Assorted Plush
- Bubble Guppies Rolling Figures Assortment
- Bubble Guppies Assorted Mini-Plush
We received the Rock & Roll Stage, Fin-Tastic Guitar, Rockin' Micro-Fin, Bubble Guppies Assorted Plush, and Bubble Guppies Rolling Figures Assortment. It was like Christmas for my kids when the box arrived. All the toys have gotten attention and lots of play time, even the Plush toys.
This is a picture of the Plush Bubble Guppies Gil, Plush Bubble Guppies Puppy, and Plush Bubble Guppies Molly. My kids fight over the puppy but they love all of them.
My two younger kids love the Fin-Tastic guitar, especially my 1 year old. It has over 20 songs and phrases; you press the 3 buttons that feature Gil, Bubble Puppy, and Molly to activate the sound effects and phrases. Kids can strum on the guitar to hear a song. The Fin-Tastic guitar is colorful and bright.
My kids favorite of all the toys that we received it the Rock & Roll Stage and Bubble Guppies Rolling Assortment. The Rock & Roll Stage includes Molly and her lobster drummer. All the other characters are sold separately and each come with one ramp. The stage lights up and plays 4 different songs. The characters get ready in the dressing room above the stage and then slide down to the stage for the show. My kids love sliding all the characters down the slide. Sometimes the characters end up falling off the side before making it down and the doors fall off frequently but that doesn't phase my kids. The songs are fun and the light at the end of the ramp is neat. As soon as a character rolls down, the sounds and light activate. My kids are usually impatient and activate it themselves. It was easy to put together, and my 4 year old quickly figured out how to attach the addition character's ramps to the main stage and to each other. It's neat how it all fits together.
I checked out the other toys in the store the other day. I know my kids would, also, love the Vehicle Assortment and the Splash & Surprise Molly. It's been a few days since we received the toys, and they are still played with a lot. All the toys would be a splash for any little Bubble Guppy fan.
Disclaimer: I received these Fisher-Price Bubble Guppies toys for free in exchange for an honest review. I was not otherwise compensated for this post. All the thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Thank you!

I'm so excited! Korn is finally touring in my city. It's been a year since I've seen them last. That's way too long to wait! I bought my VIP listening session and just have to wait for the tickets to go on sale now. I can't wait. This is just what I needed. I've been working 47 and sometimes 51 hours a week. A Korn show is the perfect way to reduce stress.
Happy New Year to all my Korn friends. In 1994 I heard some little known band named Korn. I had never heard anything like them before and haven't since. They have been my favorite band since I heard their first song and continue to be. Thanks to Korn I've met some of the best friends I ever had. You guys know who you are and I love you! Here's to a great year filled with Korn!
I haven't been on korn.com much. Too busy with work but I just added a bunch of friends. Hopefully, I'll have more time to be on and chat with people :)

Increased aggressiveness frequently occurs in patients with bulimia nervosa (BN), but its neurobiological correlates have been poorly investigated. In this study, we investigated possible relationships between such clinical measure and blood levels of endogenous hormones in patients with BN. Morning plasma levels of testosterone, 17β-estradiol, prolactin (PRL) and cortisol were measured in 33 bulimic women and 22 healthy female controls. The eating-related psychopathology, depression and aggressiveness were rated by specific psychometric scales. Bulimic patients showed decreased plasma levels of PRL and 17β-estradiol, and increased concentrations of cortisol and testosterone. Moreover, patients scored higher than healthy controls on rating scales assessing eating-related psychopathology, depressive symptoms and aggressiveness. A significant positive correlation was found between testosterone plasma levels and aggressiveness in patients but not in controls. These findings suggest that in BN, increased plasma levels of testosterone may play a role in the modulation of aggressiveness.

When Valley City State University assistant head football coach and defensive coordinator Gregg Horner found out earlier this year that he had been nominated to received 2012 NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year award, he was humbled but didn't necessarily keep it at the forefront of his mind.
"That, to me, really was the was the end of it," Horner said. "I never really thought that it would go on and I'd end up being named the guy."
Turns out, the nomination from VCSU head coach Dennis McCulloch wasn't the end of it.
Two games in two days at the Dickinson State University Milanovich Basketball Classic yielded two wins for Valley City State University as they pushed their overall record to 5-1 on the season.
In their second game with the Blue Eagles in a week, VCSU's Brittany Lehner led the Vikings to a 61-52 win over DSU Saturday to close out the tournament. Lehner scored 16 points on 5-8 shooting from the floor and also went 6-10 from the free-throw line.

AWI to coordinate the scientific preparations for establishing marine protected areas in the Weddell Sea
Bremerhaven, 30th October 2012. The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research takes a leading role in preparing the formation of marine protected areas in the Weddell Sea. Yesterday the German Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection published a press release, stating that the Bremerhavener institute is going to coordinate the scientific work, which will form the essential foundation for the protection of the Weddeell Sea. The German delegation, operating under the guidance of the federal ministry, announced yesterday at the annual meeting of The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) in Hobart, Australia, that they will undertake the preparations for the formation of marine protected areas in the Weddell Sea for the commission.
"The Weddell Sea is home to marine animal communities and ecosystems that have adapted to the Antarctic living conditions over the last millions of years. The oceanographic processes in the Weddell Sea also function as the engine for global ocean currents, which are important for oceans worldwide and our climate", the AWI director Prof. Dr. Karin Lochte explains the region's ecological importance. "The AWI and the German Antarctic science community are therefore willing to gather the extensive results of the scientific research from the last 30 years, to analyse and reprocess these to the basis for an effective protection of the Weddell Sea. The region accommodates several biological treasuries, which it is essential to conserve; furthermore the region serves as an important reference area for basic scientific research. Hence we are very interested in that future research in this unique and widely pristine area is not endangered by destructive human activities", says the director of the institute.
The Alfred Wegener Institute conducts intensive research in the Weddell Sea since its foundation in 1980. The region belongs to its scientific "home oceans". Click here to read the press release of the German Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (in German only).
AWI director Karin Lochte is awarded an honoary Ph.D. by the University of Oldenburg
Bremerhaven, 11 October 2011. Prof. Karin Lochte, director of the Alfred Wegener Institute für Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association, was awarded an honoary Ph.D. of the University of Oldenburg's department for mathematics and natural science today. The award ceremony took place during the festivities of the 25th anniversary of the university's Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) today. With this award the faculty honors Karin Lochte's outstanding scientific success. Before becoming AWI director the biologist and deep sea expert had investigated the role of bacteria in the oceans sediments and the consequences of nutrient limitation for the growth of diatoms in the Southern ocean. Furthermore she had done reseach on the reaction of bottom-dwelling deep sea creatures to sedimentation. "Karin Lochte is not just an outstanding scientist. She also fights tirelessly for the advancement of marine reseach and higher quality standards of scientific work", the faculty says is its explanatory statement.
Karin Lochte has been leading the Alfred Wegener Institute since the 1st of November 2007. She is a member of various national and international scientific boards and committees. In summer 2012 the biologist became the first ever female member of the SCAR Executive Committee. SCAR is a committee of the International Council for Science and it is charged with the initiation, promotion and co-ordination of scientific research in Antarctica. SCAR also provides international, independent scientific advice to the Antarctic Treaty system and other bodies.

Brazil decree opens tribal lands to mining, dams in 'national interest'Rhett Butler, mongabay.com
July 26, 2012
Directive also freezes demarcation of new indigenous territories

The directive "opens up all indigenous areas to mineral, dams, roads, military bases and other developments of 'national interest' without the need to consult with or address concerns of indigenous peoples", according to an expert familiar with the directive who asked to remain anonymous. It also restricts demarcation of new indigenous territories.
Survival International called the move "disastrous" citing the plight of the Guarani tribe, some members of which are waiting "in roadside camps or overcrowded reserves" for their ancestral lands to be mapped and allocated.
"This directive puts our survival in extreme danger," Survival International quoted a Guarani spokesman as saying. "We are being ignored as human beings, as the first occupants of this land. It is the start of the extermination of indigenous people."
Kayapo father and son in Brazil.
However outcry over the directive on Wednesday led Brazil's Public Prosecutors' Office to suspend the measure pending a court ruling on the issue. Survival International and several Brazilian indigenous organizations have called for the directive to be revoked entirely.
The directive was passed only a month after an association of more than 1,200 tropical scientists convening at the annual meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation sounded the alarm on the potential development.
Indigenous territories cover roughly 22 percent of the legal Brazilian Amazon. Areas managed by indigenous groups have lower deforestation rates than unprotected forests.

Brazil's environmental leadership at risk, warn scientists
(06/26/2012) The Brazilian government is putting its global environmental leadership at risk by ignoring scientific concern on large infrastructure projects and changes in the country's forest laws, warned an association of more than 1,200 tropical scientists gathering last week in Bonito, Brazil on the heels of the disappointing Rio+20 Earth Summit.
Last chance to see: the Amazon's Xingu River
(06/15/2011) Not far from where the great Amazon River drains into the Atlantic, it splits off into a wide tributary, at first a fat vertical lake that, when viewed from satellite, eventually slims down to a wild scrawl through the dark green of the Amazon. In all, this tributary races almost completely southward through the Brazilian Amazon for 1,230 miles (1,979 kilometers)—nearly as long as the Colorado River—until it peters out in the savannah of Mato Grosso. Called home by diverse indigenous tribes and unique species, this is the Xingu River.
Brazil's shame
(06/03/2011) As an American I know a lot about shame — the U.S. government and American companies have wrought appalling amounts of damage the world over. But as an admirer of Brazil's recent progress toward an economy that recognizes the contributions of culture and the environment, this week's decision to move forward on the Belo Monte dam came as a shock. Belo Monte undermines Brazil's standing as a global leader on the environment. Recent gains in demarcating indigenous lands, reducing deforestation, developing Earth monitoring technologies, and enforcing environmental laws look more tenuous with a project that runs over indigenous rights and the environment.
Protected areas cover 44% of the Brazilian Amazon
(04/20/2011) Protected areas now cover nearly 44 percent of the Amazon — an area larger than Greenland — but suffer from encroachment and poor management, reports a new study by Imazon and the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA). The report, published in Portuguese, says that by December 2010, protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon amounted to 2,197,485 square kilometers. Conservation units like national parks accounted for just over half the area (50.6 percent), while indigenous territories represented 49.4 percent.
Indians are key to rainforest conservation efforts says renowned ethnobotanist
(10/31/2006) Tropical rainforests house hundreds of thousands of species of plants, many of which hold promise for their compounds which can be used to ward off pests and fight human disease. No one understands the secrets of these plants better than indigenous shamans -medicine men and women - who have developed boundless knowledge of this library of flora for curing everything from foot rot to diabetes. But like the forests themselves, the knowledge of these botanical wizards is fast-disappearing due to deforestation and profound cultural transformation among younger generations. The combined loss of this knowledge and these forests irreplaceably impoverishes the world of cultural and biological diversity. Dr. Mark Plotkin, President of the non-profit Amazon conservation Team, is working to stop this fate by partnering with indigenous people to conserve biodiversity, health, and culture in South American rainforests. Plotkin, a renowned ethnobotanist and accomplished author (Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice, Medicine Quest) who was named one of Time Magazine's environmental "Hero for the Planet," has spent parts of the past 25 years living and working with shamans in Latin America. Through his experiences, Plotkin has concluded that conservation and the well-being of indigenous people are intrinsically linked -- in forests inhabited by indigenous populations, you can't have one without the other. Plotkin believes that existing conservation initiatives would be better-served by having more integration between indigenous populations and other forest preservation efforts.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 26, 2013
Familiar announced today major developments that signal the start of a new chapter in the company's evolution, intended to advance it beyond the photo category.
The company has debuted an entirely revamped app that emphasizes customized viewing experiences integrated with video. (To see a 65-second demo of the new app, click here. For a two-minute demo, click here).
The new app introduces the concept of the 21st century photo frame. This innovation means any idle screen -- a desktop, laptop, mobile device or tablet – can play a customized stream of videos and photos in a continuous, always-on format, much like a desktop screensaver.
Familiar is the only company integrating videos with photos in a "screensaver" display format.
The app also introduces Familiar's proprietary personalization feature, which delivers a tailored viewing experience made up of each user's favorite memories. Familiar learns a user's preferences as he or she interacts with the app, by commenting on photos and videos for example. The app then displays a sequence of video and photos for that user that feature the people, places, and events that that user most likely wants to see.
"Familiar is literally the world's first and only video screensaver for desktop and tablets," said Hadi Partovi, a Familiar investor known for his early stakes in Facebook, Dropbox, and Zappos. "It's an eye-catching and addictive experience, and is poised to disrupt the multi-billion-dollar traditional picture frame business."
The key specific changes introduced in the new app are:
"The Familiar experience is about customizing a screen or viewing channel for each individual," said Familiar CEO Marcus Womack. "We want every idle screen to be a window for people to relive and enjoy their best memories through the images and videos that capture those moments."
About Familiar
Familiar turns every screen into a 21st century photo frame directly connected to family and friends. With Familiar, the best and cherished memories are displayed on the screens of loved ones into a customized channel. It's simple: capture a moment and send it directly to the screens of your private network.
Familiar works with popular photo sharing services: Facebook, Instagram, iPhoto, Picasa and more. And it works across all devices - computers, tablets and smartphones – and platforms - Windows PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, and Kindle Fire.

'America's Got Talent' Season 8 premiere: Anna Christine and Tone the Chiefrocca wow the judgesAdd to Favorites | America's Got Talent
"America's Got Talent" returned to NBC Tuesday night (June 4) with auditions in San Antonio, New York City and Los Angeles. There were several routines sent on to Las Vegas, but two stood out.
In NYC, 10-year-old Anna Christine (video above) impressed the judges with her singing and piano playing talent on "House of the Rising Sun." Howard called her a superstar and Mel B. praised her depth, while Howie and Heidi were just blown away that she's only 10 years old.
Then later in LA, Tone the Chiefrocca and his brother Cody busted out "B-DOUBLE-O-T-Y," an original song that they hope is a one-hit wonder. It did earn a standing ovation from the crowd. Heidi quipped that he had "the booties itching to dance" and Howard said they remind him of Psy.
The song also inspired Heidi to grind on Howard, which is a lot of fun.
What did you think of the "AGT" premiere?

'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
On another note about ssh2, I learned about the X11 forwarding capability.
I use ssh from a machine that is internally masqed on my home network. So
I don't have a "real" IP on that machine.
If I want to run some sort of X app from my machine at school, I can't
redirect display to an internal machine at home. But, ssh automatically
tunnels X11 through the masquerading machine. This is awesome! No need
to redirect the display on the remote machine, and no need to allow xhost
permission on the local machine.
Really neat.

Earlier today, TechCrunch managed to get its paws on around 50 megabytes of pictures and documents outlining an upcoming Facebook product – namely, "a new photo sharing app for the iPhone," which the website admits "looks amazing."
Internally, the application is being referred to as "HoverTown" or "WithPeople." According to TechCrunch, it's a mixture of a variety of apps we're already familiar with – Path, Instagram and Color – "built entirely on top of Facebook's social graph."
The service currently looks like it's going to debut as a standalone app, however there are also hints that it will integrate with the Facebook app, too, which would be handy. Unfortunately, little else is known about the application – TechCrunch admits that it is still sifting through the aforementioned 50 megabytes of pictures and documents, and promises "more to come" tomorrow.
We'll keep you posted.
