Augusta city leaders also aren't ready to give more money to the Laney Walker development project.
Commissioners sending a proposal to loan the program two and a half million dollars to continue the revitalization effort back to committee.
One concern is that in the last three years the project has spent more than two million dollars on consultants and marketing,instead of spending the money on new homes.
"At the end of the day eight million dollars spent only 29 and a half million left, 18 19 20 houses, that's not equating out to the type of growth that we need to have," says Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Augusta housing Director Chester Wheeler did not comment on the vote to go back to committee, but in a letter to commissioners said it would be more costly to do the consulting and marketing in house with city employees than hiring outside firms.

Which is why I'm excited to report on lowest propecia prices in canada the viagra online india WINDHUNTER. It's more than just an amazing name for a mid-nineties Kevin Costner movie.
The WindHunter project proposes mid-oceanic hydrogen generation. Using far-off-shore wind generators has not been feasible because there's no way to buy cialis australia transport the electricity to market. The people at WindHunter see the opportunity and say, "Why not just turn the electricity straight into hydrogen, and then ship the hydrogen where it's needed?"
There is a tremendous amount of power in oceanic wind currents just waiting to be harnessed with extremely minimal environmental impact. WindHunters would basically be off shore oil rigs but, instead of non-renewable oil, they'd be creating hydrogen from sea water, our world's most plentiful resource.

And if its hunting wind, and the canadian viagra best wind it can find, I'm sure it will run into dangerous squalls quite often. How many of these are going to capsize searching for the best wind?
Reminds me of that show the deadliest catch in a way...
written by Hank, April 12, 2007
As for the dangers, this would actually be way safer than oil rigs because it could avoid storms. There's no way one of these would intentionally be in a hurricane just to catch the wind. They'd be much more interested in the every-day strong and steady winds of the mid-ocean.

Why using a boat to find winds? Using many large "wind mills" on different locations would make the energy production more reliable.
The wind mills could be secured by several wires at the bottom of the sea. An attached giant floating "buoy" could look something like the boat!

Until we develop fusion, hydrogen will not be a practical way of storing energy.
written by Milander, April 18, 2007
Hum.. actually, they do. Once airborne all internal electricity is generated by the jet engines fan rotation. Especially the main rotor fans at the front of the jet that squeeze the air before combustion takes effect.
Who's the idiot ??
I would agree that a floating boat driven wind farm is an idiotic idea as is the idea of a hydrogen ecomony at the moment.. maybe in 30 years or as and when economic conditions force us to consider it
written by Luke, April 21, 2007
other types of naturally energy sources can be used in a localized way so that less energy is lost in the transport. As currently regardless of
what kind of energy you refer too, they all lose some energy in the transportation. Localized energy sources add security to the national grid. The use of fossil fuel's has had to go through many years of
extensive development and billions of dollars in research (Remember Leaded Gas?). The same will happen to alternative energy in time. We
need to stop bickering about the value of alternative energy and invest in our future.

Durham York and Covanta Energy are well on their way to reaching their 2014 goal to have the cleanest and most efficient waste-to-energy facility on the continent.
Covanta recently invited media on a hard hat tour of the build site for the Durham York Energy Centre in the Clarington Energy Park in Clarington, Ontario.
The $272-million facility is expected to process up to 140,000 tonnes of post recycled waste per year and generate enough renewable electricity to power between 12,000 and 14,000 homes, Covanta says.
The energy centre will also help Durham Region achieve their waste diversion target of 70 per cent.
The facility will create nearly 700 direct and indirect jobs during construction and more than 40 permanent plant operator jobs when the facility comes online late 2014.
The energy centre is designed by Toronto-based McMillan Associates Architects.
It was Durham's decision in 1999 not to open new landfill sites in the region.

Bryant-Denny Stadium employs hundreds of people during gamedays. But there's one job that gets an inside look, not of the game, but of who is at the game.
Tina Turner prefers to rise with the Tide, in particular, to levels six, seven and eight at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
She's decked out in her crimson and white, but confined to her elevator with no TV or radio.
"I can hear the crowds roaring," Turner, an elementary school teacher, said. "As soon as I get back down on the floor, what happened? What happened?"
Follow Kyle on Twitter: @kyle_burger
Turner is a 1992 Alabama graduate. She's been working at the stadium since her freshman year in 1987.
She began working the gates, checking tickets and student I.D.'s before transferring inside.
"It's not about the money, it's about the people that I get to meet, the friendships that I make on the elevator with different people on all the levels," Turner said. "I've seen and met, Taylor Hicks has been on the elevator, Condoleezza Rice when she came to the game."
There are two elevators that run parallel here at the stadium. But they have a connection. It's Tina's mother, Ruth Murray, operates the other one.
Murray is in her 29th year operating the elevator. She said if it wasn't fun, she wouldn't be doing it.
"With mom, it's kind of a fight, she has to take the visiting coaches, I only take home coaches," Turner said. "It's like a superstitious kind of thing. I won't let her take Alabama coaches and they know it downstairs, they will not let them put the visiting coaches on my elevator.
"Nothing against them, but I have to stick with my home coaches."
Maybe that explains why Alabama has won 91% of it's home games since 2008.

A Peoria man who admitted he traveled twice to southern California to have sex with a 14-year-old boy was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison.
43-year-old Michael Killala will spend 144 months in prison.
He met the victim on the internet in 2011, when the boy was 14 and living in Corona, Calif. Killala visited the boy in December 2011 and they had a sexual encounter, according to court documents. He again visited the boy in January 2012.
During their second meeting, Killala allegedly took him to a hotel and gave the boy vodka before the sexual conduct. He was arrested as he was checking out of his hotel.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of child porn. Among the images in his possession were two images of the victim during their sexual encounter.
On Killala's phone were 3,000 text messages between himself and the victim, as well as proof of a relationship with another teenage boy with whom he exchanged sexually explicit photographs.
The victim's mother testified Monday that Killala "preyed on our son for his own perverse sexual gratification."
She said that her son was "severely traumatized," and that he suffered from debilitating anxiety, flashbacks, overwhelming shame, anger, loss of sleep, nightmares, severe depression and fear that Killala was going to kill him.

Launch Designer Workshops By EDITOR-AT-LARGE: Contracts
June 11, 2014
Contracts for Interior Design Professionals
This crash course on legal contracts is designed for interior designers who are drafting a contract for the first time or wanting to make an existing one airtight.
There's a reason you became a designer, and it probably didn't have anything to do with lawyers and contracts.
You're the expert in color, fabric, floor plans, and furniture schemes, not intellectual property and arbitration provisions. If you're already confused, don't fret. This crash course is designed for those drafting a contract for the first time or wanting to make an existing one airtight. Led by David Adler, an actual lawyer who understands the ins and outs of the design industry, this workshop will cover the clauses you need to protect yourself in the unfortunate event that something doesn't work out as planned. Clients can be difficult enough. Don't let legal trouble slow you down.
In this class, you will learn how to:
- Define what you are doing for your client, as well as NOT doing for them
- Make sure you get paid on time and in full
- Protect yourself against outside factors that may affect cost and ability to complete a project
- Give yourself a way to get out of your contract if things aren't working
By the end of class, you will have:
- A basic understanding of key contract terms and the reasons as to why they are there
- A basic client agreement that you can use or customize
The Instructor, David Adler, is an attorney, nationally-recognized speaker, and founder of a boutique law practice focused on serving the needs of creative professionals in the areas of intellectual property, media, and entertainment law. He provides advice on choosing business structures, protecting creative concepts and ideas through copyright, trademark, related intellectual property laws and contracts, and structuring professional relationships. He has 17 years experience practicing law, including drafting and negotiating complex contracts and licenses with Fortune 500 companies, advising on securities laws (fundraising) and corporate governance, prosecuting and defending trademark applications, registrations, oppositions, and cancellations before the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), and managing outside counsel. Currently recognized as an Illinois SuperLawyer® in the areas of Media and Entertainment Law, he was also a "Rising Star" for three years prior. He received his law degree from DePaul University College of Law in 1997 and a double BA in English and History from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Outside the practice of law, David is an Adjunct Professor of Music Law at DePaul College of Law, formerly chaired the Chicago Bar Association's Media and Entertainment Law Committee, and is currently a member of the Illinois State Bar Association Intellectual Property Committee.
Do you work with start-up companies and need a basic understanding of the various intellectual property issues that can arise?
I will be co-presenting in this online seminar that will help you:
- understand the trademark and copyright problems your client may encounter with branding;
- learn how to protect your client's branding once established;
- familiarize your practice with patents, including what they protect, timing, and strategies to prevent inadvertent loss of patent rights before filing the application;
- understand trade secrets and the importance of non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements;
- recognize intellectual property issues relating to technology, including open source code and the cloud;
- establish a proactive approach toward intellectual property ownership between cofounders, employees, and vendors; understand business names, domain names, promotional issues, and website content concerns.
The program qualifies for 1.5 hours MCLE credit.
I would like to personally invite you to attend the upcoming Law Ed program titled, "Identifying Intellectual Property Issues in Start-Ups," which I will be co-presenting via live webcast on Tuesday, May 27th.

Drafting Contract Termination Clauses – Termination for Breach by Non-Breaching Party
February 12, 2014
One of the key issues that must be examined when negotiating or drafting any contract is how the parties may get out of, or "terminate," that contract. While many attorneys will rest on standard "termination for breach with notice and cure" language, the recent case of Powertech Tech. v. Tessera, Inc. demonstrates how artful drafting can put limitations on a party's right to terminate. The Opinion in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California case No. C 11-6121 can be found here.
Powertech and Tessera were parties to a patent license agreement, although the court's reasoning does not seem limited to only those types of agreements. The license agreement allowed Powertech to use Tessera's patents in exchange for payment of license fees.
The contract contained the following clause regarding termination for breach:
"Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement due to the other party's breach of this Agreement, such as failure to perform its duties, obligations, or responsibilities herein (including, without limitation, failure to pay royalties and provide reports as set forth herein). The parties agree that such breach will cause substantial damages to the party not in breach. Therefore, the parties agree to work together to mitigate the effect of any such breach; however, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement if such breach is not cured or sufficiently mitigated (to the non-breaching party's satisfaction) within sixty (60) days of notice thereof."
The court held that Powertech was not permitted to terminate a license agreement with Tessera for Tessera's breach because Powertech itself was in breach of the agreement by its failure to pay royalties to Tessera.
Acknowledging Powertech's argument that Tessera was itself in breach, that in and of itself did not give Powertech the right to terminate the contract. Only a "non-breaching" party may terminate the agreement. Said the court "[a]lthough the first sentence of the termination clause is broad – 'Either party may terminate this Agreement due to the other party's breach' — the language of the clause as a whole makes clear that only a non-breaching party may terminate. Reading the clause as a whole, the court concluded "[t]he termination clause refers to a "breaching party" and a "non-breaching party" in every sentence after the first… [therefore]…the clause requires the party seeking to terminate for the other party's purported breach to be substantially in compliance with its own obligations first.
The Powertech agreement's termination clause is useful because it put conditions on a party's ability to terminate the agreement even when the other party was in breach.

Bad Faith Not Required for Attorney Fees in Patent Disputes
August 22, 2013
Monolithic Power Sys., Inc. v. O2 Micro Int'l Ltd., Fed. Cir., No. 2012-1221, 8/13/13
On August 13, 2013 the Federal Circuit held that litigation misconduct and unprofessional behavior may be sufficient to meet the "exceptional case" standard under 35 U.S.C. §285 for an attorney fees award of $9 million.
Relying on Brooks Furniture Manufacturing, Inc. v. Dutailier International, Inc., 393 F.3d 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2005), the court clarified that "it is only absent litigation misconduct or misconduct in securing the patent that we require the finding of both 'bad faith' and 'objectively baseless' litigation to warrant sanctions under §285." In this case, the district court did not err in awarding attorney fees for the entire litigation because Defendant's "extensive misconduct was enough to comprise an abusive 'pattern' or a vexatious 'strategy' that was 'pervasive' enough to infect the entire litigation."

EDITOR'S NOTE: This monthly column about the issue of homosexuality by various authors is a partnership between Baptist Press and the SBC Task Force on Ministry to Homosexuals.
MIDLAND, Texas (BP)--I spoke recently at a wonderful church in New England. The church is part of a denomination that is fragmenting over the issue of homosexuality, and it is smack dab in the middle of one of our country's most liberal (theologically, politically and culturally) regions.
I shared with the pastor that I often find myself working two sides of the issue. I go into more liberal churches trying to show people that true love and compassion are found within the boundaries of Scripture, and I go into more conservative churches trying to soften people's hearts to show love and compassion for those dealing with same-sex attractions.
Some days I feel like a homosexual activist, and some days I feel like a hardened fundamentalist - neither of which I am! But at the end of the day, my efforts on both sides are to help churches become safe places for people struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction and places that might have some impact in reaching the homosexual community.
No matter the culture of the particular church I am in, I am always asked the question: "How can we be a church that ministers to struggling people and helps bridge the gap between the gay community and the church?" The answer to that question is not a simple one, but it is the same no matter the flavor of the church. As much as I dislike alliterations in sermons, here are four keys:
- Pastor. In order for a church to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, the senior pastor must have a heart for reaching all hurting people, no matter the potential controversy. I have never seen the culture of a church change contrary to the heart of the pastor. This may not be the way it is "supposed" to be, but it is a reality. A church will not grow beyond the passion and desire of its chief shepherd.
- Pulpit. For a church to effectively minister to strugglers and reach homosexual persons, the topic of homosexuality must be addressed from the pulpit. A pastor may have a wonderful heart for ministry and outreach, but if he never talks about it from the pulpit, his heart and vision will not impact the local church.
I have heard many excuses for not talking about homosexuality from the pulpit, but I have never heard a legitimate one. Yes, it is controversial. Yes, it may offend some people. Yes, it is complicated. But the reality is that even the most conservative church is impacted by homosexuality, and to ignore it publicly is to insinuate that the church does not care.
Sexual brokenness affects the church on many levels. Divorce, adultery, pornography, promiscuity and homosexual behavior are as prevalent within the church as they are in the world. The effectiveness of the local church will continue to be diminished if these hard issues are not discussed from the pulpit.
- Pew. By this, I mean the attitude of the church body. I often ask congregations to imagine what an openly homosexual person would encounter on any given Sunday if they wandered through the doors of their church. How would people in their pew respond? Would a very masculine woman or a very effeminate man be greeted warmly, hugged or welcomed? Would they receive smiles and invitations to lunch? Or would they feel awkward and unwelcome? Would people avert their eyes to simply avoid any connection?
Until the church body has a heart for hurting, lonely, broken, lost people in general, the church will never be part of the solution. I know people who lead ministries who are afraid to invite struggling people to attend their own church for fear of how those people will be received. That is heartbreaking. The pews of our churches must reflect the reality of the grace that saved each person sitting there, or people in need of grace will flee.
- Potluck. This refers to the community and fellowship of the church body. Is your church a place where people are real and vulnerable and loving and accepting? I don't imagine anyone will be comfortable sharing their struggle with homosexuality if small-group prayer requests are limited to the health of distant relatives in faraway states. Do people share heart issues within the "community" structure of your church (be it Sunday School, small groups or whatever)? Or are requests limited to safe issues like health or jobs or "other people"? If the church membership does not feel safe to be real, will new people feel safe to be real?
So when people ask me what their church can do, I often sense that they want me to outline a program. But a program will not work if the pastor is ambivalent. A program will not work if real-world issues are not addressed from the pulpit. A program will not work if the pews are filled with hard, judgmental, grace-less people. And a program will not work if community and fellowship are limited to surface issues and covered dish suppers. Programs are worthless if the heart and culture of the church have not changed. We, the church, must be a place of real, vulnerable, gracious, compassionate and merciful life, founded unapologetically on the life-giving, freeing, relevant and perfect Truth of the Word of God.
Where is your church? Pastors, where are you? Church members, where are you? What do you want to be? How do you want to impact the world with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ?
We have the hope that the world is looking for. Will they find it when they come looking?

Feeling the Heat — Successful "First Light" for the Mid-Infrared VISIR Instrument on the VLT.
12 May 2004: Close to midnight on April 30, 2004, intriguing thermal infrared images of dust and gas heated by invisible stars in a distant region of our Milky Way appeared on a computer screen in the control room of the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). These images mark the successful "First Light" of the VLT Imager and Spectrometer in the InfraRed (VISIR), the latest instrument to be installed on this powerful telescope facility at the ESO Paranal Observatory in Chile. The event was greeted with a mixture of delight, satisfaction and some relief by the team of astronomers and engineers from the consortium of French and Dutch Institutes and ESO who have worked on the development of VISIR for around 10 years [1]. Pierre-Olivier Lagage (CEA, France), the Principal Investigator, is content : "This is a wonderful day! A result of many years of dedication by a team of engineers and technicians, who can today be proud of their work. With VISIR, astronomers will have at their disposal a great instrument on a marvellous telescope. And the gain is enormous; 20 minutes of observing with VISIR is equivalent to a whole night of observing on a 3-4m class telescope." Dutch astronomer and co-PI Jan-Willem Pel (Groningen, The Netherlands) adds: "What's more, VISIR features a unique observing mode in the mid-infrared: spectroscopy at a very high spectral resolution. This will open up new possibilities such as the study of warm molecular hydrogen most likely to be an important component of our galaxy."

Shadow of a Large Disc Casts New Light on the Formation of High Mass Stars — Massive Star Observed that Forms through a Rotating Accretion Disc.
12 May 2004: Based on a large observational effort with different telescopes and instruments, mostly from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), a team of European astronomers [1] has shown that in the M 17 nebula a high mass star [2] forms via accretion through a circumstellar disc, i.e. through the same channel as low-mass stars. To reach this conclusion, the astronomers used very sensitive infrared instruments to penetrate the south-western molecular cloud of M 17 so that faint emission from gas heated up by a cluster of massive stars, partly located behind the molecular cloud, could be detected through the dust. Against the background of this hot region a large opaque silhouette, which resembles a flared disc seen nearly edge-on, is found to be associated with an hour-glass shaped reflection nebula. This system complies perfectly with a newly forming high-mass star surrounded by a huge accretion disc and accompanied by an energetic bipolar mass outflow. The new observations corroborate recent theoretical calculations which claim that stars up to 40 times more massive than the Sun can be formed by the same processes that are active during the formation of stars of smaller masses.

Two Extremely Hot Exoplanets Caught in Transit — VLT Measures Properties of New Jupiter-Size Objects in Very Close Orbits.
7 May 2004: A European team of astronomers [1] are announcing the discovery and study of two new extra-solar planets (exoplanets). They belong to the OGLE transit candidate objects and could be characterized in detail. This trebles the number of exoplanets discovered by the transit method; three such objects are now known. The observations were performed in March 2004 with the FLAMES multi-fiber spectrograph on the 8.2-m VLT Kueyen telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory (Chile). They enabled the astronomers to measure accurate radial velocities for forty-one stars for which a temporary brightness "dip" had been detected by the OGLE survey. This effect might be the signature of the transit in front of the star of an orbiting planet, but may also be caused by a small stellar companion. For two of the stars (OGLE-TR-113 and OGLE-TR-132), the measured velocity changes revealed the presence of planetary-mass companions in extremely short-period orbits. This result confirms the existence of a new class of giant planets, designated "very hot Jupiters" because of their size and very high surface temperature. They are extremely close to their host stars, orbiting them in less than 2 (Earth) days. The transit method for detecting exoplanets will be "demonstrated" for a wide public on June 8, 2004, when planet Venus passes in front of the solar disc, cf. the VT-2004 programme.

Closer to the Monster — Trailblazing VLT Interferometer Studies of the Central Region in Active Galaxy NGC 1068.
5 May 2004: Fulfilling an old dream of astronomers, observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the ESO Paranal Observatory (Chile) have now made it possible to obtain a clear picture of the immediate surroundings of the black hole at the centre of an active galaxy. The new results concern the spiral galaxy NGC 1068, located at a distance of about 50 million light-years. They show a configuration of comparatively warm dust (about 50°C) measuring 11 light-years across and 7 light-years thick, with an inner, hotter zone (500°C), about 2 light-years wide. These imaging and spectral observations confirm the current theory that black holes at the centres of active galaxies are enshrouded in a thick doughnut-shaped structure of gas and dust called a "torus." For this trailblazing study, the first of its kind of an extragalactic object by means of long-baseline infrared interferometry, an international team of astronomers [2] used the new MIDI instrument in the VLTI Laboratory. It was designed and constructed in a collaboration between German, Dutch and French research institutes [3]. Combining the light from two 8.2-m VLT Unit Telescopes during two observing runs in June and November 2003, respectively, a maximum resolution of 0.013 arcsec was achieved, corresponding to about 3 light-years at the distance of NGC 1068. Infrared spectra of the central region of this galaxy were obtained that indicate that the heated dust is probably of alumino-silicate composition. The new results are published in a research paper appearing in the May 6, 2004, issue of the international research journal Nature.

Cosmic Ballet or Devil's Mask? — Very Large Telescope Witnesses Close Interaction in Galaxy Family.
28 April 2004: Stars like our Sun are members of galaxies, and most galaxies are themselves members of clusters of galaxies. In these, they move around among each other in a mostly slow and graceful ballet. But every now and then, two or more of the members may get too close for comfort - the movements become hectic, sometimes indeed dramatic, as when galaxies end up colliding.

A "Dragon" on the Surface of Titan — VLT Looks through Narrow Atmospheric Window and Produces Most Detailed Images Yet.
14 April 2004: New images of unsurpassed clarity have been obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) of formations on the surface of Titan, the largest moon in the Saturnian system. They were made by an international research team [1] during recent commissioning observations with the "Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI)", a novel optical device, just installed at the NACO Adaptive Optics instrument [2]. With the high-contrast SDI camera, it is possible to obtain extremely sharp images in three colours simultaneously. Although mainly conceived for exoplanet imaging, this device is also very useful for observations of objects with thick atmospheres in the solar system like Titan. Peering at the same time through a narrow, unobscured near-infrared spectral window in the dense methane atmosphere and an adjacent non-transparent waveband, images were obtained that are virtually uncontaminated by atmospheric components. They map the reflectivity of a large number of surface features in unprecedented detail. The images show a number of surface regions with very different reflectivity. Of particular interest are several large "dark" areas of uniformly low reflectivity. One possible interpretation is that they represent huge surface reservoirs of liquid hydrocarbons. Whatever the case, these new observations will be most useful for the planning of the delivery of the Huygens probe - now approaching the Saturn system on the NASA/ESA Cassini spacecraft and scheduled for descent to Titan's surface in early 2005.

Milky Way Past Was More Turbulent Than Previously Known — Results of 1001 observing nights shed new light on our Galaxy.
6 April 2004: A team of astronomers from Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden [2] has achieved a major breakthrough in our understanding of the Milky Way, the galaxy in which we live. After more than 1,000 nights of observations spread over 15 years, they have determined the spatial motions of more than 14,000 solar-like stars residing in the neighbourhood of the Sun. For the first time, the changing dynamics of the Milky Way since its birth can now be studied in detail and with a stellar sample sufficiently large to allow a sound analysis. The astronomers find that our home galaxy has led a much more turbulent and chaotic life than previously assumed.

Adding New Colours to Interferometry — AMBER joins the VLT Interferometer.
5 April 2004: Another vital step has been accomplished as planned towards full operation of the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, one of the world's foremost astronomical facilities. In the night of March 20-21, 2004, a team of astronomers and engineers from France, Italy, Germany and ESO celebrated the successful assembly and completion of the first on-line tests of the latest of the first-generation VLTI instruments, the Astronomical Multiple BEam Recombiner (AMBER). They combined the two beams of light from the southern star Theta Centauri from two test telescopes ("siderostats" with 40-cm aperture) to produce strong and clear interferometric fringes. Equally successful observations were then obtained on the bright star Sirius, and consistently repeated during the following nights.

Titanic Weather Forecasting — New Detailed VLT Images of Saturn's Largest Moon.
1 April 2004: Titan, the largest moon of Saturn was discovered by Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens in 1655 and certainly deserves its name. With a diameter of no less than 5,150 km, it is larger than Mercury and twice as large as Pluto. It is unique in having a hazy atmosphere of nitrogen, methane and oily hydrocarbons. Although it was explored in some detail by the NASA Voyager missions, many aspects of the atmosphere and surface still remain unknown. Thus, the existence of seasonal or diurnal phenomena, the presence of clouds, the surface composition and topography are still under debate. There have even been speculations that some kind of primitive life (now possibly extinct) may be found on Titan.

New Quasar Studies Keep Fundamental Physical Constant Constant — Very Large Telescope sets stringent limit on possible variation of the fine-structure constant over cosmological time.
31 March 2004: Detecting or constraining the possible time variations of fundamental physical constants is an important step toward a complete understanding of basic physics and hence the world in which we live. A step in which astrophysics proves most useful. Previous astronomical measurements of the fine structure constant - the dimensionless number that determines the strength of interactions between charged particles and electromagnetic fields - suggested that this particular constant is increasing very slightly with time. If confirmed, this would have very profound implications for our understanding of fundamental physics. New studies, conducted using the UVES spectrograph on Kueyen, one of the 8.2-m telescopes of ESO's Very Large Telescope array at Paranal (Chile), secured new data with unprecedented quality. These data, combined with a very careful analysis, have provided the strongest astronomical constraints to date on the possible variation of the fine structure constant. They show that, contrary to previous claims, no evidence exist for assuming a time variation of this fundamental constant.

VLT Smashes the Record of the Farthest Known Galaxy — Redshift 10 Galaxy discovered at the Edge of the Dark Ages.
1 March 2004: Using the ISAAC near-infrared instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, and the magnification effect of a gravitational lens, a team of French and Swiss astronomers [2] has found several faint galaxies believed to be the most remote known. Further spectroscopic studies of one of these candidates has provided a strong case for what is now the new record holder - and by far - of the most distant galaxy known in the Universe. Named Abell 1835 IR1916, the newly discovered galaxy has a redshift of 10 [3] and is located about 13,230 million light-years away. It is therefore seen at a time when the Universe was merely 470 million years young, that is, barely 3 percent of its current age. This primeval galaxy appears to be ten thousand times less massive than our Galaxy, the Milky Way. It might well be among the first class of objects which put an end to the Dark Ages of the Universe. This remarkable discovery illustrates the potential of large ground-based telescopes in the near-infrared domain for the exploration of the very early Universe.

Announcing the VT-2004 Public Education Programme — Rare Celestial Event to be Observed by Millions
16 February 2004: On June 8, 2004, Venus - the Earth's sister planet - will pass in front of the Sun. This event, a 'transit', is extremely rare - the last one occurred in 1882, 122 years ago. Easily observable in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, it is likely to attract the attention of millions of people on these continents and, indeed, all over the world. On this important occasion, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has joined forces with the European Association for Astronomy Education (EAAE), the Institut de Mécanique Céleste et de Calcul des Éphémérides (IMCCE) and the Observatoire de Paris in France, as well as the Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic to establish the Venus Transit 2004 (VT-2004) public education programme. It is supported by the European Commission in the framework of the European Science and Technology Week and takes advantage of this extraordinary celestial event to expose the public - in a well-considered, interactive and exciting way - to a number of fundamental issues at the crucial interface between society and basic science. VT-2004 has several components, including an instructive and comprehensive website (www.vt-2004.org). It is directed towards the wide public in general and the media, school students and their teachers, as well as amateur astronomers in particular. It invites all interested persons to participate actively in the intercontinental VT-2004 Observing Campaign (that reenacts historical Venus Transit observations) and the VT-2004 Video Contest. During the VT-2004 Final Event in November, the winners of the Video Contest will be chosen by an international jury. This meeting will also serve to discuss the project and its impact.

First Auxiliary Telescope for the VLT Interferometer Installed at Paranal — World's Largest Moving Optical Telescope on Track
30 January 2004: Another advanced astronomical telescope has just been installed at the Paranal Observatory, located in the heart of the Chilean Atacama Desert and home of the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The new telescope, known as Auxiliary Telescope no. 1 (AT1), forms part of the VLT Interferometer (VLTI). It has a main mirror of 1.8-m diameter and is installed in a compact dome. In contrast to the four giant 8.2-m telescopes and, indeed, to any other telescope in the world of this size, it can be moved along a system of railway tracks on the top of the Paranal mountain. It sends the captured light from celestial objects into the subterranean Interferometric Tunnel from where it is directed to the central Interferometric Laboratory. This is the first of four AT's that will be installed in 2004-2006. These compact, high-tech telescopes are built by the AMOS company in Liège (Belgium). When placed in different configurations on the tracks, they will enable the VLTI to operate with great flexibility (also when the large telescopes are busy with other observations) and to obtain extremely sharp images of celestial objects - ultimately with a resolution that corresponds to seeing an astronaut on the Moon.

Comments about Night Fiend Ani-motion Mask:
This mask was fantastic overall. The mouth is a little hard to open but I just wore it a couple minutes a day to work out the tension, by Halloween it was perfect. The hood that comes with it is low quality so I wore a hoodie instead. I added some fake blood to the teeth and gums to make it look a bit more authentic and scary. I had to use grease paint to cover my eyes and lower half of my face so my skin was not visible through the mask openings, and as well on the foam size-inserts, (they are white). Wonderful result scaring people.

Comments about Night Fiend Ani-motion Mask:
Although this mask it outstanding in design, I was incredibly disapointed with the color and actual exterior design of this mask out of the box. It's not 100% of what you see in the advertised picture, the color is more of a grey vs. a pale white, the red is more of a burgandy. I didn't let this keep me disapointed, I got some americana acrylic paint (red and white) and added a few layers of red to the gums and bloody areas. Now it looks super creepy. The face I added several layers of brushed application white paint to give it a pale ashy texture. The best thing I added was sun glass lenses, I had some old sunglasses sitting around, (black lenses) and poped them out of the original frame, insterted them between the foam latex and the plastic mask frame, its now a crazy scary looking mask! The eyes look like round shiny dark black eyes, it gave me the chills when I looked in the mirror Now I'm happy! I'll be using this as my grim reaper mask this year. The neighborhood is gonna love it!

but beyond a blog, all CMS roads lead to Drupal.
I have local recruiters I work with in NYC,
but none in FL.
The demand for Drupal with Mobile
seems to be the sweet spot to target.
To that end, I am converting my resume own
from a static page...
To one that is more mobile-savvy and highly functional.
Drupal seems ideal to facilitate

Today is day 3 after my Fraxel treatment. The doctor used a level 9 only on my cheek areas and a 5-6 on the rest( she did my entire face and neck areas) as I was very able to tolerate the pain. I look like Alvin the chipmunk. When do you think I should start to see and feel the swelling come down? I see my doctor, who is wonderful, 1 week post op. I am VERY OPTIMISTIC about this as I have suffered from acne and it's scars for so many years I can not remeber my life before them.
What is the Proper Care After my First Fraxel Treatment?
Doctor Answers (3)
Post-Fraxel Care and Treatment
Depending on the aggressiveness of your treatment, there might be some pinpoint bleeding following the procedure, as well as some oozing for up to 48 hours until the wounds close. The most common side effects are edema (swelling), which usually subsides after a week, and erythema (redness), which may last up to a month, depending on the aggressiveness of treatment. Other temporary side effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, oozing and crusting. I would suggest speaking directly with your doctor about proper care post-treatment to ensure your safety during the recovery period.
Fraxel postcare instructions vary
There are 3 different Fraxel lasers: restore, thulium and repair lasers. Each one differs in what they do to your skin and the depth they penetrate. You should consult with your physician who should have advised you on post care instructions. We instruct all our fraxel patients to use plenty of moisturzer and sun protection, in addition to other instructions.

Your should check with the doctor who did your Fraxel laser Treatment.
Not all Fraxel Laser treatments are the same. You should check with your doctor for instructions on proper wound care after your treatment.

I just had my teeth whitened this morning using Zoom whitening and am very happy with the results.
Colour - went from mid range to best possible white (but not looking fake)
Time taken - 90 minutes including a clean and 4 x 15 minute sessions
Pain during the session - I had no pain for the first 2 x 15 minute sessions, but started to get the zings shortly into the 3rd session. I moved the light away when this happened and it went away, i probably had 5-6 zings during the whole procedure.
Pain after the session - the zings do continue BUT i have noticed what makes them happen. If you talk or open your mouth the zings will come back. If you keep your mouth shut (and i suspect your teeth wet with saliva) I don't get any zings. I had none for about 3 hours and then spoke to someone and got them straight away.
So the No. 1 advice of the day is to keep your mouth shut after the procedure and hopefully you are ok like me!!

From the reviews I have read it seems most people say the zingers dissipate within 24-48 hours.
There was a question posted in our Q&A section that has many dentists answers on what to expect from Zoom as far as sensitivity is concerned. Click here to see their answers.

It's now over 24 hours since I had the whitening done and keeping your mouth shut is definitely the way to go. The only zingers I got at all were when i had opened my mouth. When i had dinner i noticed going from hot food to a cold drink caused it too. But seriously I can't believe how simple it was to combat it! (made for a peaceful evening at home too)
There hasn't been one zinger today, or last night while i was sleeping either. I just have a little sensitivity on the ends of my teeth, otherwise i'm back to 100%!

I have sensitive teeth (in general -- nothing to do with teeth whitening) so I'm definitely going to try keeping my mouth shut when it starts acting up again. Hopefully it'll help.
Great photos, btw! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great advice! I'll definitely pass this along to others considering the treatment. Hope it works. :)

What happened? Am I broken?
I just made this for fun (and to try out Stencyl) It's a pretty neat piece of software, sure was fun to play with. I was going to wait and submit this for Robotday and all that, but I can't spend anymore time playing around with the tools right now. So I'd rather just get it submitted and get back to work on Sagittarian 4.
Notes on Stencyl, MOST of the function in game came with the software. Jumping, all of that. I customized some bits here and there, but the hard part was done. Area transitions, I never found any good tools for that so I built my own in the Stencyl scripting language to allow back and forth between maps.
Was fun! Stay cool guys!

Ha, ha. I love how you play as a crazy robot who ends up committing suicide because he thinks his creators (humanity) were "broken," so the only way to win the game is by jumping into the lava pit. Otherwise, way too short.

Yet those same coaches would still prefer that their teams emerge victorious from what could accurately be called exhibition games.
The Patterson High football team participated in such an exhibit June 29, at Patterson Community Stadium, a scrimmage that also featured Western Athletic Conference rivals Livingston High and Pacheco High of Los Banos, as well as, Orestimba High of Newman, Ripon High, Sierra High of Manteca, Manteca High and Turlock High.
"The focus of the passing tournament is to work on each teams' passing game in a competitive atmosphere against other schools," Patterson coach Nick Marchy said. "With all the different schools, there were many different offenses and defenses. There were 19 games between schools for the day."
At the Patterson High tournament, Sierra won the championship, beating the host Tigers in the final.
The schools shared the field, rotating between offensive and defensive play, using the opportunity to help coaches answer questions about their teams before the games really count.
"I want our players to get better physically and mentally. We work on team-building and becoming one unit," Marchy said. "We want the kids to learn and understand our offensive and defensive philosophies so that it makes it easier once the season starts."
Last month's scrimmage was another chance for the players to build momentum for their Aug. 30 season-opener on the road against Johansen High of Modesto.
"The first game is the most important game of the year. It sets the tone for the season and gets us off on the right step," Marchy said. "We will start on the road, which is always tough to play at someone else's stadium. But I believe we will be ready and take the first step of the year in the right direction."
Patterson won its division of the Modesto Junior College seven-on-seven passing tournament on July 13, defeating WAC foe Central Valley High of Ceres in the semifinals and Pacheco in the final.
"We have been working out long before summer started and school got out. Our kids have put in a large number of hours in the weight room and on the field," Marchy said. "We have been completing practices as if we were in the middle of the season, and preparing for our first game."
The positives of a scrimmage are obvious.
Going up against outside competition, even if it turns out to be inferior, gives coaches a better gauge of strengths and weaknesses than constantly putting the first unit up against the second- and third-stringers.
"We have installed a lot of our offense and defense but we still have a lot more to install to prepare for the start of the season," Marchy said.
Facing another team also allows players to work out kinks in the heat of battle in a way that can't be accomplished against their teammates. The adrenaline flows differently in a game setting, and the speed of play increases.
"The kids are excited about the season and (competing for) a WAC championship," Marchy said. "We just have one goal, and that is to win no matter who we play, and all the kids believe in it."

Fleetwood Mac fans now have the chance to hear the band's massively popular Rumours album in a whole new light, thanks to a new symphonic version of the recording by London's Royal Philharmonic . The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is a song-by-song reimagining of the 11-track album that the 50-plus-member symphony recorded at London's famed Abbey Road studios.
Making a special guest appearance on the album is Peter Frampton , who lends his talents to the closing track, "Gold Dust Woman." Also featured is award-winning British singer and steel guitarist Sarah Jory .
" Rumours was such an important album in terms of both songwriting and production," says James Graydon , who co-arranged the tribute album with Richard Cottle . "Although we were mindful of the fact that these songs are very well known, we decided to approach the arrangements from a slightly different perspective to make it work in the orchestral world."
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays Fleetwood Mac's Rumours , which is available for purchase now, is the latest in a series of albums in which the symphony has reinterpreted the music of well-known rock artists.
Here is the full track list:
"Second Hand News"
"Never Going Back Again"
"Don't Stop"
"Go Your Own Way"
"The Chain"
"You Make Loving Fun"
"I Don't Want to Know"
"Oh Daddy"
"Gold Dust Woman" (featuring Peter Frampton)

If the cast on Chris Brown 's right hand is evidence of his alleged fight with Frank Ocean , then the plaster sleeve is just one of a couple reasons why Breezy won't be putting the incident behind him anytime soon. TMZ posted photos of Chris' cast, adding that while Chris claims that he didn't throw the first punch in the alleged brawl, a witness tells TMZ that Chris did swing first.
Authorities are apparently still digging for the truth. Following the reported run-in at a Los Angeles-area recording studio Sunday, Steve Whitmore , spokesman for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, tells ABC News that the department will continue the investigation because the "alleged victim" -- in this case, Ocean -- wants them to.
" We will move ahead and investigate this but please remember, this is a misdemeanor battery," Whitmore says. "It does not rise to the level of an assault. It could very well turn out to be a mutual, minor scuffle about a parking space."
Moving forward with an investigation is nothing out of the ordinary, Whitmore points out. "When a person feels that their rights have been violated or something has occurred which they believe is wrong and is legally wrong, they say, 'Yes, I want you to go forward because I believe that I have suffered some indiscretion,' and that's routine," he says.
Following the incident, Chris took to Instagram with a photo of himself and friends inside the studio. "Working on my album. Not working on negativity," he wrote . But there's no telling whether the alleged incident with Frank will come back to haunt Chris. He's still on probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009, and there's a chance that new legal drama would hurt him.

Kentucky State Police Gear Up For Highway Safety During Labor Day Holiday Weekend
Date of News Release: 08/28/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Motorists on Kentucky's highways can expect to see more Kentucky state troopers during the Labor Day holiday, which begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 1, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 4. Traffic is expected to increase significantly during the three-day weekend, which marks the traditional end of the summer vacation season.
Last year, 11 people died in 12 separate traffic crashes in Kentucky during the three-day Labor Day Weekend. Alcohol was a suspected factor in one of the crashes, and eight of the victims were not wearing a seat belt. Three of the victims were on motorcycles. Two of the motorcycle victims were not wearing a helmet.
As part of a national campaign to combat impaired driving, law enforcement officers will be out in force conducting sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols to get more drunk drivers off the road, said Jack Adams, commissioner of the Kentucky State Police.
"Police officers throughout the state are participating in the 'Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.' campaign to keep impaired drivers off the road," said Adams. "We want everyone to play it safe and always designate a sober driver or find an alternative method of getting home if they have been out drinking."
"Fatalities and serious injuries resulting from motorcycle and ATV crashes are also significantly higher when no helmet is worn," said Adams. "It's just not worth taking the chance."
KSP Capt. Eric Walker, commander of the Governor's Highway Safety Program, said the zero-tolerance policy of driving under the influence will be strictly enforced.
"Driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher is illegal," said Walker. "Motorists who choose to drink and drive can face jail time and lose their driver's license. They may also face higher insurance rates, attorney fees, time away from work and other expenses - not to mention the risk of killing themselves and others."
KSP will also be directing extra attention to interstate highways, parkways, roadways and arteries leading to boat ramps and waterways during the holiday as part of Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). To boost their visibility, KSP troopers will be using daytime running lights on their vehicles during the enforcement period.
Walker also reminded drivers to be aware of driving procedures in the case of emergency vehicles approaching from the rear on four-lane roads.
"Drivers are required by Kentucky law to move over to the lane farthest away from the approaching emergency vehicle if they are on a four-lane road with two lanes proceeding in the same direction -- but only if they can do so safely," said Walker.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting impaired or erratic drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should provide a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

Terry Patterson's curator insight, June 30, 9:32 PM
Just today I got into a discussion that designing for digital wearables must certainly be the next frontier in the user experience design space. In my view, it is all about context - giving the user what they need with a just-in-time approach.
Michael Allenberg's curator insight, April 30, 4:48 AM
The definition of designing with the user in mind...
Terry Patterson's comment, June 6, 7:25 AM
I think the approach of personas is a nice one to keep the team focused on who they are designing for. I find though that sometimes the attributes of personas get lost especially if teams are not doing good research and consider contextual factors for people. So in that case, personas are almost always limited.

Richard P. Dunn II was outmaneuvered in Little Haiti.
For months, political observers wondered aloud why the term-limited Miami Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones was pushing a study to determine — and possibly extend — the boundaries of Little Haiti. The divisive effort seemed to be an affront to some of her strongest supporters, older African-Americans with roots in communities like Lemon City and Little River.
In the end, a move she said was nothing more than fulfilling the legacy of a predecessor on the commission paid off handsomely for her successor of choice, Keon Hardemon, as the Haitian community awarded him almost twice as many votes at it gave Dunn on Nov. 5, according to elections records.
Right or wrong, many of the community's voters perceived Dunn as someone who didn't want Little Haiti's boundaries extended. Dunn's campaign seemed flat-footed and uncoordinated on the ground that day, some campaign workers said.
Dunn is still resented by some in the community for not putting enough Creole-speaking workers in the Little Haiti Cultural Center during a previous stint in office, and for not speaking up during an effort two years ago by some business owners to have Little Haiti's name changed.
"All these things happened under Dunn. The community remembers this," said Marleine Bastien, a Haitian community leader and executive director of Haitian Women of Miami. The people of Little Haiti, she said, are "prized voters. They are passionate about politics."
The lack of support Dunn received in Little Haiti — a neighborhood that has historically had a high voter turnout — offers a glimpse of why the candidate, once considered a heavy favorite to win the commission seat for District 5, slipped to a distant second, edging out Jacqui Colyer to make Tuesday's runoff against Hardemon.
In the past two weeks Dunn has replaced several staffers with people who worked for Colyer, a Miami-Dade Children's Trust executive. Gone is Dunn's campaign manager Gregory King; in his place is Colyer herself, a seasoned manager who has spent a career overseeing large staffs and budgets.
In the sprint to Tuesday's election, Colyer has organized gatherings to raise Dunn's profile, none more important than last Wednesday's at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, where Dunn was surrounded by North Miami Mayor Lucie Tondreau and past Mayor Joe Celestin.
The trio spoke of harmony and unity and of how Dunn — now their favored candidate for the District 5 seat — could lead the way toward uniting Haitian and African Americans, who have had a shaky history getting along in Miami.
As he spoke, Dunn blasted Spence-Jones for what he said were efforts to create official boundaries for Little Haiti. He promised to help Little Haiti find a permanent identity — but not at the expense of older, established communities.
"We were on the verge of seeing a divided community, and it was done because of political intentions," said Dunn, adding, "We all acknowledge that there is a Little Haiti," but that its boundaries will also honor Lemon City, Little River and Overtown. "We will build bridges across the community."
Hardemon denied sending extra resources to Little Haiti on Election Day, saying the neighborhood has been a focus throughout his campaign, and that he "stomped" Dunn in many neighborhoods, not just Little Haiti.
"At the end of the day his actions are what caused the demise of his campaign," said Hardemon.
In the past two weeks Dunn has pieced together a string of endorsements that should help him chip away at Hardemon's large lead. Besides Colyer's support, Dunn has received endorsements from Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado, Commission Chairman Marc Sarnoff and Commissioner Wifredo "Willy" Gort.
Hardemon, who at 30 was the youngest in the first-round field of four candidates, wants to persuade voters that despite his youth and lack of political experience, his local ties and legal skills — he's a former Miami-Dade assistant public defender — will suit him well in representing the 80,000 residents of Miami's most diverse district.
Dunn, 53, counters that his seasoned political history, job creation efforts while in office, and attempts to reform the city's police department should outweigh recent campaign fundraising gaffes and a personal history of financial problems.
Tuesday, voters of Miami's District 5 — the most diverse, winding linkage of neighborhoods in the city thanks to recent redistricting — will go to the polls to decide which candidate will replace Spence-Jones, who remains popular. Voting will take place from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Dunn's name recognition, gained through previous stints as a city commissioner and his longtime leadership as senior pastor at Faith Community Baptist Church, had him pegged as a heavy favorite heading into the Nov. 5 election. But late campaign finance report filings and questionable spending have given voters pause. In October a U.S. postal inspector in Miami concluded Dunn mailed his report 18 days late, despite Dunn's claim that that the report was lost in the mail.
That same report showed extensive visits to area restaurants and 43 lump-sum payments to seven women totaling more than $18,000. King, Dunn's former campaign manager, admitted to making some payments in cash, which is against state election laws. Two of the seven women said they were not paid anywhere near the amounts recorded, or as often as the report said. Dunn is also being fined about $6,000 for his most recent finance report, which was due Nov. 1. It showed up on Nov. 12, according to Miami elections coordinator Dwight Danie. Dunn said he will appeal the fine.
Dunn has refused to respond directly to questions about his finances, saying the media and voters should be more concerned with issues that plague the district, like public housing and crime. He promised to correct any mistakes when the election is over.
"We have a new team working on that now," said Dunn.
