Our aim is to create a highly accurate easy-to-use real-time map of confirmed aurora sightings to increase your chances of seeing the rare beautiful northern lights during the upcoming maximum of the solar cycle (2012-2014). This will be the first solar maximum with social media and the chance to Tweet about aurora sightings is a powerful way to inform others also. We aim to build a predictive capability for the lights' visibility based on your positive and negative sightings and social media. We are also using your volunteered geographic information for space science and computer science related research. We welcome suggestions on improving the site and volunteers of any sort are also very appreciated.
When auroras (northern or southern lights) are visible, we'd like to know your location so we can map visibility for others to see. The aim of aurorasaurus is to help as many people as possible know when the aurora is visible in their neighborhood, accurately and in real-time. No scientific knowledge or jargon is required, just the ability to navigate the map and enter simple observations. If you went looking for aurora and weren't able to see it, that is also valuable information.
This is more complicated. The short answer is you can watch our map, especially the auroral oval forecast for one hour into the future. If you have more scientific knowledge about auroral behavior, you can watch the main forecasting websites and their space data, e.g. spaceweather.com and spaceweather.gov. But the bottom line is that when the Sun is very active and emits large amounts of energy towards Earth, we don't have enough observations to tell when that energy will hit Earth to better than ~half a day (+/- 7 hrs). Until the energy hits the ACE satellite upstream of Earth then we have about an hour of warning. An estimate for the extent of the auroral oval based on the ACE satellite data and a neural network model is shown on our map, for the current time and about an hour into the future.
Space weather and terrestrial weather can move very quickly and auroral visibility is not guaranteed by Aurorasaurus.org.
Liz MacDonald has a Ph.D. in Physics (focusing on Space Science) from the University of New Hampshire. She attended the University of Washington for her undergrad where she was introduced to the aurora and the exciting research field of experimental space science.
As a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Liz works primarily on space weather instrument teams; for example she is a Co-Investigator for the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission focusing on the HOPE instrument for the last several years. She is also actively involved in educational outreach efforts aimed at increasing diversity in STEM fields and communicating the beauty of science (especially the aurora!). You can find out more professional information here and follow Liz on Twitter @spaceyliz.
Outside of work she likes to hike, climb, and ski in the beautiful sunny environs of northern New Mexico.
Niels van Hecke graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2012 with a BS in Game Design and Development and is seeking employment in the games software industry. His strengths are in games networking and server-side development. Niels is currently working as an indie developer on the math puzzle game Chromathud and another unannounced math puzzle game.
Outside of work, Niels runs and does multiple martial arts.
You can learn more about Niels at his website.
Liz Martineau and Gordon McDonough are the science educators at Los Alamos National Lab's Bradbury Science Museum. They work with thousands of students from all over northern New Mexico and the surrounding region, and specialize in interactive programming. While both have taught several grades in public and private schools, Liz focused on elementary grades and Gordon on middle school. They are both enthusiasts in science and history. Their programs involve a wide range of science topics, from the nano-scale to cosmology, and they love working with scientists to bring their research to a broad public.
Liz is a mom and a skilled fiber artist. She likes to hike and camp, and is deeply involved in several community organizations. She is currently pursuing her Master's degree in educational leadership.
Gordon is a dad, hikes and bikes, likes to camp, and is a working automaton artist with a small but growing local reputation. A sampling of his work resides atgordonmcd.tumblr.com. Gordon is trying to learn the ins and outs of micro-controllers, especially Arduino, for possible use in his art.
Among many other things, Liz and Gordon enjoy Argentine Tango lessons together.
Reid Priedhorsky is a postdoctoral research associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in computer science.
As a researcher focusing on human-centered computing, he works to empower communities to make better decisions in pursuit of a sustainable, secure, and just global future. He does this by exploring the tools and algorithms which facilitate human communication, collaboration, and shared creation of knowledge, with a current focus on the use of such tools and algorithms to answer quantitative questions about the real world.
Reid's past projects include Cyclopath, a web map serving the bicycling community of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. This researcher is a "geowiki": any user can edit both the base map as well as points of interest and other annotations, and changes are live immediately (i.e., they are peer-reviewed after publication, not before). The Cyclopath map has been revised over 13,000 times.
You can find out more about Reid on his personal research page or at LANL.
Yan Cao is pursuing her Ph.D. degree in Information Sciences and Technology (IST, focusing on Human Computer Interaction) at Penn State University. Interestingly, Yan obtained a master's degree in Physics, concentrating on condensed matter physics. Her undergraduate was in Physics as well in the University of Science and Technology of China.
This unusual transfer from Physics to IST was encouraged by Yan's strong interest in behavioral science and information technologies. Her current research involves participatory risk management, risk games (with a purpose), and crowdsourcing. This citizen science aurora project is a great fit for her interests.
Outside of work, Yan enjoys running and plans to do more marathons and half-marathons. She travels a lot and loves camping and hiking as well.
Please find more about Yan here.
Funding for our project is provided by Los Alamos National Laboratory's LDRD program in conjunction with the IGPP Institutes Office, the New Mexico Consortium, and the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Education/Public Outreach program.
Support is also provided by the Bradbury Museum. Our Twitter data partner is Social Flow. Space physics real-time data are provided by the Space Weather Prediction Center at NOAA, in particular the Wing-Kp Predicted Geomagnetic Activity Index (Wing et al., 2005, J. Geophys. Res). Dirk Lummerzheim at the UAF Geophysical Institute provided code for the auroral oval prediction using Kp, an idea, partially begun by the International Space Apps challenge team from Dublin. Matt Gray provided the formatted tweet option, first mapping, and key input (www.auroramap.com).
Special thanks to Katharine Chartrand, Pam Hundley, Lora Suther, NOAA NGDC folks, Twitter, and beta testers everywhere.

Discrimination against atheists: a new legal hierarchy among religious beliefs.

Nina Weiler-Harwell examines continuing, legal, discrimination against atheists, as made clear in two cases: Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000) and Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow (2004). These rulings created a new, discriminatory level of distinction for believers versus non-believers that is ahistorical in light of previous Supreme Court precedent.

Previous Day's Reflection Next Day's Reflection Go to Today's Reflection
"When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, 'Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.'" (Matthew 8:1)
The miracles of Jesus are pretty radical stuff, and most of us know that, in a way, it was even more radical to touch a leper. Jesus had to go well beyond the conventional wisdom and appropriate religious practice of His day to do that. In that regard, we may not be able to make miracles happen, but we can follow His example.
There is someone in my life who reminds me of this willingness to go beyond safe structures and comfortable boundaries in order to be present to others. I have seen him do this with the sick and suffering in Haiti, and I have also seen him do this in his everyday world, whether it is with the local social outcast or with someone who is just plain boring to be around. He is my husband. Just yesterday he invited me along on a business transaction. The person he was working with had personal issues and memory problems. I would have had a hard time keeping my composure, but not Paul. As she rambled and fumbled, he was more than patient and very respectful. It is humbling to be in the presence of that kind of love.

No matter how long the slinky is, the bottom of the slinky will stay still (hover) until the top reaches it. Even if the slinky is over 1000 feet long.
This was a fantastic episode of Veritasium. Maybe the best. The recoil of a slinky, stretched under its own weight, is a pretty fantastic physics problem, especially when you capture it in super-slo-mo.
Check out the original video here. And the analysis here. And of course Derek had to take it to another level and drop a slinky from the top of a building.

Integration Is The First Step In Simplifying Your Restaurant Business
Point of Sale (POS)
Pulling the detailed sales and labor data from your POS solution into the 'cloud' (i.e. Restaurant365) each night is a critical step in reducing administrative costs. Our growing list of POS integrations include: Micros, Aloha, POSitouch, Speedline, Revention, Aldelo, HarborTouch, and Brink POS.
Banks and American Express
Pull down all transaction activity directly from your bank and American Express account right from within the Restaurant365. Match these transactions to payments and receipts already recorded or allocate them on the fly. We can integrate to any bank that offers its customers a .QFX file. A few banking institutions such as Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, and American Express offer direct connect services which we can take advantage of. Once you begin integrating this way, you will never waste another minute of your life doing it manually again.
Social Media
Stay one step ahead of your social media marketing with Restaurant365's central push and listening center. Schedule your outgoing posts and view the social comments made about each of your store locations in one place. Currently we integrate with Facebook and Twitter.
It is a question we often get asked: "What accounting packages do you integrate with?" The answer is joyfully, "None!" Restaurant365 includes its own restaurant-specific accounting module (Click Here To Learn More). Having your accounting right inside the system makes Restaurant365 what it is: a complete restaurant-specific ERP solution. As such it gives you tight controls, clear visibility and amazing efficiency. Just what your restaurant business needs to become more profitable.
Outsourced Payroll Services
Sending and receiving data to and from your payroll provider is essential. Restaurant365 collects all the time entries from your POS solution each night and makes labor accrual entries for you in your financial statements. At the end of the pay period, you can easily review the labor by employee or by location and then send it off to your outsourced payroll service. Restaurant365 has integrations to ADP, Paychex, and Ovation which enable you to import the file you receive back from them after the payroll has been processed. This saves loads of time normally spent making lengthy journal entries.
As part of the Restaurant365 Marketing module, we tie into your existing website for measuring and tracking site traffic. Additionally, we also have a "forms capture" feature that automatically adds participating visitors to your contact database inside of Restaurant365. No need to retype these new contacts. It's automated!

My dear Jelena,
I am immensely sad to be saying goodbye to you today. You prepared me for many situations in life—for wins, for triumphs, for our trophies—but I am completely unprepared for our parting. Not being able to see you off makes me endlessly sad. Still, I know that you'd be mad if I gave up or decreased my chance to fulfill this final wish of ours, winning Roland Garros.
Thank you for your patience, your enormous love. Thank you for your everyday support, for the advice I remember, for the warm words which always carried an extraordinary message. You know that I've memorised them all and that I always follow your rules. Our last conversation, two weeks ago, didn't suggest that anything was wrong. I'm sad because even then you made an effort to keep me free from any concerns and assured me that everything was alright, that you were in the hospital for a routine check-up — that I shouldn't worry but win.
You were an angel. Both when you coached me and afterward, I felt your support wherever I went. Sincere. Strong. Unconditional. You left an indelible mark on Serbian tennis. Everyone who holds a racquet in his or her hands today is indebted to you. I promise that I will speak your name to future generations and that your spirit will live on on our tennis courts.
Funeral services for Genčić, remembered as "a symbol of sportsmanship," will be held on Wednesday.

Latest Player Updatesclose
J.P. Losman
Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:39 pm Dolphins signed QB J.P. Losman, formerly of the Seahawks.
Fantasy Source Spin: Losman replaces Sage Rosenfels as the primary backup in Miami in a week where Matt Moore is dealing with bruised ribs. Out of the league the first two months of the season, Losman has attempted just one NFL pass since losing the Bills starting job in 2008. He holds a career 10-23 record as a starter with a 59.2 completion percentage and 75.6 passer rating. The entire Fins passing game would be hands-off if Losman is forced into action.
Sat Jan 8, 2011 3:12 pm Seahawks declared third QB J.P. Losman, CB Marcus Brown, LB Joe Pawelek, OLs Paul Fanaika, Lemuel Jeanpierre, and Breno Giacomini, DL Amon Gordon, and S Josh Pinkard inactive for Week 18.
Fantasy Source Spin: Matt Hasselbeck is active and starting, as expected, with Charlie Whitehurst ready in case he aggravates his hip strain. Seattle is in much better shape physically than New Orleans, but the Saints still have far more talent.
Source: Mike Sando on Twitter
Wed Nov 10, 2010 3:24 pm Seahawks re-signed QB J.P. Losman.
Fantasy Source Spin: Losman will replace rookie Zac Robinson as Seattle's third quarterback. A career journeyman at this point, he won't play barring multiple injuries.
Source: Mike Sando on Twitter
Tue Nov 2, 2010 6:50 pm In addition to JaMarcus Russell, the Redskins also worked out free agent QB J.P. Losman on Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Redskins had more than a dozen free agents in Tuesday, but no signings are imminent. Losman has thrown just one NFL pass in the past two years.
Source: nfl.com
Sat Sep 4, 2010 11:29 am Seahawks released QB J.P. Losman.
Fantasy Source Spin: Multiple observers in Seahawks camp noted that Losman looked like a more game-ready backup option than Charlie Whitehurst, but allegedly competition-crazed Pete Carroll never gave Losman a chance. Seattle will go with two QBs for now, but that could change when Matt Leinart hits free agency.
Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter
Sun Aug 8, 2010 4:17 pm According to SI.com's Jim Trotter, "observers contend" that J.P. Losman is beating out Charlie Whitehurst to be the Seahawks' No. 2 quarterback.
Fantasy Source Spin: Whitehurst's draft-weekend acquisition is already looking like a bust, and first-year GM John Schneider may draw the brunt of the blame. Either way, it's become clearer and clearer daily that Matt Hasselbeck's starting job is safe.
Source: SI.com
Tue May 18, 2010 8:40 pm Seahawks agreed to terms with QB J.P. Losman on a one-year, $630,000 contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: That explains the decision to dump fourth QB Mike Reilly after just two weeks on the roster. Seattle's Mike Teel is a promising developmental prospect, but he may not have the mobility desired by coach Pete Carroll and coordinator Jeremy Bates. Losman will battle Teel for the No. 3 QB job. He didn't come close to seeing the field with a desperate Raiders team late last season.
Source: Jay Glazer on Twitter
Thu Jun 18, 2009 8:56 am According to UFL Access, former Bills quarterback J.P. Losman is scheduled to sign with Las Vegas of the United Football League.
Fantasy Source Spin: Losman, a first-round pick in 2004, will have a hard time shedding his "bust" label in the UFL. He would be coached by Jim Fassel.
Source: UFL Access
Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:09 am The Charlotte Observer considers the Panthers "highly unlikely" to pursue free agent J.P. Losman.
Fantasy Source Spin: However, the Observer seems to be treating a Losman signing as a threat to Jake Delhomme's starting job. We're quite confident that Carolina would only pursue Losman as a backup to compete with Josh McCown and Matt Moore.
Source: Rock Hill Herald
Wed Apr 22, 2009 5:47 pm The Broncos may show interest in free agent J.P. Losman if they don't draft a quarterback this weekend, a source tells the Bills' website.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bills writer Chris Brown says Denver has had interest in Losman "for some time," but it cooled after Chris Simms was signed. The Panthers have also shown interest. Losman, and Rex Grossman, should find work after the draft.
Source: buffalobills.com
Mon Apr 13, 2009 7:49 pm J.P. Losman has received no known interest on the free agent market all offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: There hasn't even been a report of a team speaking to the inconsistent 28-year-old passer. Losman probably isn't in danger of falling out of the league yet, but he's very unlikely to catch on before the draft.
Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:13 am J.P. Losman, who could start Buffalo's third preseason game because of Trent Edwards' injury, is still unhappy with his situation.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It is very difficult to get motivated, but with the help of friends, family, and my agent, we just keep pressing on," he said. That's the attitude! Losman wanted to get traded in the offseason and hasn't spoken to the media all camp until now.
Source: Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Thu Jun 12, 2008 12:51 am J.P. Losman reported to the Bills' mandatory minicamps this week, but did not participate in drills.
Fantasy Source Spin: ESPN's John Clayton says that Losman still "clearly wants out" of Buffalo, but he isn't willing to pay fines. He'll back up Trent Edwards this season.
Source: ESPN Insider
Wed Apr 16, 2008 3:32 pm Bills COO Russ Brandon reiterated Wednesday that the team fully anticipates keeping J.P. Losman on the roster for 2008.
Fantasy Source Spin: "64 quarterbacks started in the NFL last year, I think the highest in about 30 years," Brandon said. "You need two good ones." Losman demanded a trade in the winter, but reported to voluntary workouts in late March.
Source: buffalobills.com
Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:09 pm A person close to the discussions tells the Palm Beach Post that the Dolphins are unlikely to deal for J.P. Losman.
Fantasy Source Spin: We'd have to think Bill Parcells is smarter than that. While Losman would add experience, he'd likely also require a new contract. Dealing for or waiting until Chad Pennington is released would seem like Parcells' best option.
Source: Palm Beach Post
Mon Feb 25, 2008 12:04 pm The Chiefs and Dolphins have reportedly inquired about J.P. Losman.
Fantasy Source Spin: No word how serious the talks are and the Bills aren't overly eager to deal him. The most interesting thing here is that Kansas City may be proactively looking for better competition for Brodie Croyle. Miami needs some experience at the position.
Source: Profootballtalk.com
Sun Jan 6, 2008 10:15 am J.P. Losman missed out on a $5 million escalator for 2008 by failing to play in 50 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps last season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Losman, due $650,000 in 2008, has requested a trade and is expected to be accomodated. The team that acquires Losman will likely look to sign him to an incentive laden deal. He should bring back a mid- to late-round pick.
Source: Buffalo News
Fri Jan 4, 2008 7:37 pm The agent for J.P. Losman told the AP Friday that his client wants to be traded by the Bills.
Fantasy Source Spin: "That ship has sailed, my friend," agent Gary Wichard said. "Hopefully, they do something this year. And if not, we'll just walk away after next year." Any trades will be on hold in Buffalo until the team finds a new general manager. Marv Levy's successor seems likely to honor Losman's request.

All You Need To Know About Canadian Co-op Programs!
If you are an international student looking to study in Canada, you might be wondering what a cooperative program actually is. Cooperative study programs are popular in many schools all across Canada, as well as in other nations. Here is some useful co-op information:
What is co-op?
It is basically like an
internship or work placement. But unlike internships, which usually
consist of 1 year of continuous employment, in co-op you work for
different companies in different positions over the course of your
degree. You combine your classroom education with practical
employment experience. You usually alternate terms between studying
and working.
The co-op job hunt process is similar to a true job-hunt in the real world, where you apply and compete for jobs with other people - rather than be "placed" in a job. Usually universities will provide a database of jobs for you to apply to, but also encourage you to find jobs on your own.
For example, I'm currently in a co-op program at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada. I studied for two consecutive semesters in my first year. From that point forward, I worked for 4 months and then studied for 4 months. Depending on your co-op program, it will typically look like this - an alternation between work and study.
What are the advantages of a co-op program?
From everything I've explained so far, you can probably see the advantages of a co-op program. It's really a great opportunity for any aspiring student. You get to meet lots of new people, discover new ideas and even live in different cities. Here are some benefits of co-op:
- Get paid! Finance your studies with the money you earn during co-op positions.
- Gain work experience that relates to your studies. This won't only improve your future prospects, but it may count towards required experience for MBA programs, professional designations like engineering, and more
- Discover hidden job markets and get industry exposure
- Make professional contacts and build a network
- Get to try out different positions, fields of work and companies - and therefore exploring a range of career options you might never have even thought of
- Learn skills such as resume writing, interviewing, and job performance, which will help you in finding a full-time job later on
- Co-op students are more successful in gaining employment after graduation than regular students1
More things to consider:
Real World
Experience- Speaking from personal experience, there can
be a lot of pressure to find a great job while keeping your grades
up. While there is a high success rate of finding a co-op job, some
people end up with an unpaid co-op internship or unemployed for
that work term. An unpaid internship can provide a lot of great
experience. Co-op programs can show you the real prospects of the
job market out there, which will make you better equipped for your
No summer breaks. At least, in my co-op program. Usually students get the months of April to August off for the summer, but in co-op, you study and work back and forth - no breaks in between, except maybe a week after exams. Sure, it would be nice to have a longer break once in a while, but for international students that's actually a great thing. You don't need to spend money without studying in the US, or risk visa problems by going back home for the summer.
No wasting
time. The time at which you apply for jobs and go through
the interview process is the same time you're studying in school
and having midterm exams. I know a friend who had about 22 job
interviews while having several mid-term exams as well. Talk about
stressful! The trick is to know which jobs you really want and are
qualified for. You'll learn how to utilize your time effectively,
and that's an important skill.
The co-op fee. It's important to recognize that usually the school adds on an extra fee for being in the co-op program, which pays for co-op advisors, work report markers, resources and other such things. There are tons of resources that can help you during co-op, take advantages of them to get the best value out of your tuition.
Is co-op for me?
Take this quiz called Is co-op right for me?. It should help you get an idea of what co-op has to offer!
Requirements for the co-op program
Universities have different criteria for their co-op programs. Usually the privilege of being able to get work experience and represent your university in the workplace requires a higher average than a regular program. For example, at the University of Waterloo, a co-op program in the Arts is only available if you are in the Honours program, and it requires an average of at least a 75 in your Major. For an Engineering major, one must maintain a 60% average to keep in their program. Here are some more notes on co-op that you should consider:%
1. Since co-op is part
of your academic studies, it also counts as a credit. You are
usually required to a work report at the end of
every work term and will be graded on it. You will also be
evaluated by your employers at the end of every
term - Poor, Satisfactory, Good, and so on.
2. You will probably be required to take a short online course before or while you work - this is in preparation for workplace communication, handling workplace conflict and learning how to create a proper work report.
3. Keep in mind that you have to keep your grades up, have good evaluations with your employers and complete all the co-op work terms, courses and work reports that are required from you.
4. You must be eligible to work in Canada for off-campus work placements.
programs in Canada
Here's a list of several universities with prominent co-op programs. Usually once you have completed your first year of study, the school will decide whether or not you get into their co-op program. This is just a short list. There are many universities with great co-op programs!
University of Waterloo - Waterloo, Ontario
The largest co-op program in the world. It has over 11,000 students enrolled in co-op and more than 3,000 employers. Their famous engineering program is co-op only (no regular stream of study). Their 5-year co-op program included up to 2 years of work experience.
Bill Gates has said: "There are many years where Waterloo is the university we hired the most people from of any university in the world, and Waterloo has always been in the top five every year."
Wilfrid Laurier University - Waterloo, Ontario
Laurier has a top co-op business program. The program is very competitive - only one third of students who start in first year enroll. It offers 3 four-month work terms.
Carleton University - Ottawa, Ontario
Their co-op program has work placements of 4, 8, 12, or 16 months in duration. Students typically require an additional year of study to complete the co-op work terms and fulfill the academic requisites of their specific program.
University of British Columbia - Vancouver, British Columbia
UBC offers co-op programs in various faculties such as Arts, Commerce, Engineering, Science and Forestry. Their coop program can also be combined with other exciting UBC programs, such as the Go Global exchange.
University of Alberta - Edmonton, Alberta
While high grades help for success in their co-op program, broad work and volunteer experiences are also very valuable to potential employers. There are approximately 240-280 co-op students on work terms or actively searching for a placement each term.

|Real-time tracking of time-varying velocity using a self-mixing laser diode
|G. PlantierN. Servagent1T. BoschA. Sourice
|A new method is proposed for estimating the time-varying velocity of a moving target with a low-cost laser sensor using optical feedback interferometry. A new algorithm is proposed to track velocity variations from real-time analysis of the output signal of a self-mixing laser diode. This signal is strongly corrupted by a multiplicative noise caused by the speckle effect, which occurs very often with noncooperative targets used in many industrial applications. The proposed signal processing method is based on a second order adaptive linear predictor filter, which enables us to track the digital instantaneous Doppler frequency, which is proportional to the velocity. A model of the laser diode output signal is proposed, and it is shown that the sensor and its associated algorithm have a global first-order lowpass transfer function with a cutoff frequency expressed as a function of the speckle perturbations, the signal to noise ratio and the mean Doppler frequency. Numerical as well as experimental results illustrate the properties of this sensor.

Descubren AGUA en una nube sin estar en un Planeta, simplemente 140 trillones de agua rodeando a un Hoyo Negro, aquí la foto y explicación Astronomers recently discovered a quasar, or feeding black hole, with a reservoir containing 140 trillion times the amount of WATER in all the Earth's oceans, which is the largest mass of water that's been detected in the universe. In a press release from Caltech, Matt Bradford, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains:
The environment around this quasar is unique in that it's producing this huge mass of water. It's another demonstration that water is pervasive throughout the universe, even at the very earliest times.
An artist's rendering of the quasar provides a sense of its scope.

My keyboard and mouse functions randomly change
Every so often I get this problem where my keyboard/mouse functions change.
-With the keyboard it's usually a SHIFT lock (not CAPS lock), that is every button that I hit expresses a character or function like as if I was holding down SHIFT.
-With the mouse there are several problems. Left clicking "sticks", so any field where you can select text or draw a selection box will have that happen when I move the mouse around after clicking somewhere in the field. Left clicking any link or bookmark causes it to open in a new page to be loaded. The scroll wheel function changes to forward and back, rather than scrolling up and down. The right mouse button does it's own tricks, but I can't remember it exactly.
This has happened with two different sets of keyboards/mice operating with different drivers. The only solution is to restart, unplugging doesn't solve the trick. I cannot recall exactly what I may have installed around the time the problem showed up unfortunately.
So what's the deal exactly? Anyone experienced this?
|My System Specs
|22 Nov 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
My suggestion would be to check your system for any malware, spyware and adware that might be lingering around, which can cause such problems your are experiencing. Next would be to make sure your system is completely updated with MS updates, all hardware drivers from the respected vendors/manufactures, and then all software. A BIOS update is worth looking at as well. Then check your keyboard/mouse settings for any changes. The only other two options left are kind of drastic, which are a system restore and a complete re-install of the OS.

A virus scan using Malwarebytes won't hurt. You can download the free version here: Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer
Are you using a desktop computer or a laptop? If it is the latter you might want to disable the touchpad if you're using a USB or wireless mouse as well.

Thanks guys. I might have found the issue.
Malwarebytes found a file, "RemoveWat.exe", to be Malware. The purpose of this program is to disable the Windows utility that detects your copy of the OS as non-genuine. I kept getting, "Please update to a genuine copy of Windows" and my desktop would reset, despite that I am using a legitimate copy. This program fixed the issue.
This very well may be the last thing I did before these problems popped up. Now I don't believe this program is technically "Malware" but it's possible some of the changes it does to get rid of WAT have in turn caused these issues.
My problem is if I do remove this (it has a remove and restore function built-in) I'll once again get that issue where it's detecting my genuine copy as non-genuine. Typing in the CD-Key has done nothing but delay the problem only for it to show up again a few days later. xD
My question is: Is there a way to fix that darn genuine bug without using this kind of program, which upon looking up just now, does seem to cause completely random problems...
|My System Specs
|23 Nov 2011
I think your best bet is to remove it, and then take up the validation issue directly with Microsoft.
I'm sure if you explain the problem they'll help you to "legitimize" your copy of Windows.

Please help me navigate the waters of fashion in the artsy west coast city office!
May 19, 2011
I am a 22-year-old female who has just been informed that I have received a prestigious arts and culture internship in my Western U.S. city's government. This is my first real job, and I'm perplexed about what clothes to buy for a professional, yet comfortable summer wardrobe.
I will be working full time through the summer (temperatures up to 100 degrees), working both in the air conditioned office and pounding the pavement talking to constituents.
My budget for my summer wardrobe is $500, so I have to pick carefully.
I want to find quality, versatile separates that will last, and let me look good five days a week. I am not adverse to shopping in outlet stores or thrift stores, but I don't have a lot of time to search.
I'm 5'1", size 8-10, busty, with long straight black hair. Given the choice around my college, I will wear schlubby outfits because they are comfortable: designer jeans with long, shapeless tops. I know that this is not a professional look and that I need to transition into a new style. But with all the walking in the city heat, I do want to be comfortable.
I went to an Ann Taylor outlet store this week and tried on a bunch of trousers and tops, and everything looked so cheap, I was discouraged. The only thing I liked was a pinstriped trouser suit set, but my sister told me it was too distinctive, and I couldn't get away with wearing it very often.
Can you please point me to photos of great looking office outfits that suit my needs? Can you recommend brands that are made well and will hold up? Do you think my sister is crazy for telling me to try tunics over trousers and jumper dresses and tights over long sleeves tops?

I was going to suggest knee-length skirts or dresses for comfort in the heat: long enough to look professional, short enough to be cool. My summer work outfits are generally: skirt or lightweight trousers, dressy sleeveless or short-sleeved shirt/shell, and a light cardigans or drape-y thing that cover the shoulders. That way I can take off the outer layer when I'm outside and put it back on when I need to look more professional. Lightweight scarves are great in the a/c, help keep your neck from getting sunburned if you're pounding the pavement, and can add a splash of color and/or texture.
If you're not into the cardigan thing, blouses or tailored shirts with 3/4-length sleeves are nice for looking professional but not being smothered. If you want blazers, go for lightweight and easy to wash.
I've had good luck with Banana Republic lately (look at their "
stylish work
" section), but I'm built very differently from you and don't know what would suit your shape. You can get away with wearing the same plain, neutral-colored trousers and skirts pretty often, but you might need a greater variety of tops.
I have a few cheap cardigans from Target that look surprisingly nice. A few colors of something basic like that will go a long way.

It's government. IT's HOT out. This means you have to be conservative, but also not die and melt. Because of this I recommend mostly dresses and skirts. You can always dress them up when you're indoors with blazer or cardigan, and you can wear them outside without wanting to pass out.
I like this as an example of versatility
But don't spend $158 on one skirt -- I'm just linking so that you can see how one piece (yellow skirt) can make a three or more good outfits. You can get white oxford shirts from Old Navy or whatever.

I would strongly suggest waiting to see what people in the office are wearing before you buy your summer wardrobe. You may be surprised. And if you're not surprised, at least you'll get some ideas of acceptable outfits.
Here's an example of "you might be surprised": I went to NY&Co to buy clothes for my new job. They didn't have black pants in the cut and size I needed; but they did have cropped ones, which I figured did me no good at all, because wtf cropped pants in an office? And yet it turns out that's exactly what my co-workers (and now I) are wearing. We wear them with high wedge heels, mostly. It's quite comfortable, and would be fine for your purposes with a nice light blouse; IF people in your office dress that way. And if your office is in a west coast city with hot weather, it's probably going to be fine.
Also: if part of your job is going to be out walking around, then whatever clothes you buy need to work with your comfortable shoes. Dresses on their own might be fine summer professional wear, but if you need to wear heels with them, it's going to get real old real quick.

I'm 5'0", 32DD, size 2 and have had little luck finding stuff that fits well at Ann Taylor, other than their button-down shirts – people have actually asked me whether I had them tailored. Well worth the $80 or so on sale, especially if you buy them in neutral colors that go well with both skirts and pants.
As far as your budget is concerned, I suggest that you shop sales at stores like Nordstrom – last week I got
this dress
for less than $50! The dress looks great during the day with a youthful
white jacket
I picked up for $70 – pairing it with boots and a jacket instead of a blazer ensures I'm not wearing an outfit more appropriate for middle-aged professionals while still looking put-together. Put on a pair of wedge sandals instead and you're ready to be out in the street.
You're 22 and need to protect your skin from the sun – don't be afraid of accessories like a flattering
wide-brimmed straw hat
for when you have to be outdoors. I've gotten tons of compliments on the one I linked to.

Even if you are not a skirt person, skirts. I work in a posh private medical clinic, and while I am completely a pants girl out of the office, at work I find that skirts make me look/feel way more professional. I would suggest a basic black skirt as your first buy, before starting work--then once you see what your co-workers wear (seconding that!) you can fill out your wardrobe. A basic skirt can look dressy or casual depending on what kind of tights/nylons, what kind of shoes, etc. A rather casual top with a skirt, stockings, and nice shoes can look young but professional. Or you can go dressy with the top and skip the stockings, etc, etc, etc...
I prefer the look of pencil skirts, but YMMV based on your taste, body shape, etc. I don't know about your sister's dress suggestion... the look might be nice, but I think you'll get even less wear out of a dress than your pinstriped suit. You could wear pinstriped pants fairly often--the full suit look is what's distinctive, and that's probably not necessary every day anyway.

First of all... congrats!
And second of all, I would second all the recommendations for skirts. It looks pulled together if you wear high-waisted A-line skirts with tucked in lightweight button ups.
If you're looking for a range of really good examples, go to this
. It's a fashion blog about a group of graduate students who are transitioning into the working world and need to find the right thing to wear... Seems to be right up your alley!
Good luck!

Are you able to take a tour of the office before your start date? Dress codes vary from place to place, and "business casual" can mean anything from "we'd like you to wear a suit every day, but we can't force it" to "jeans are fine as long as they're on the nice side."
Anyway, off the top of my head:
- Nthing skirts. They'll keep you cool and you don't have to worry about hemming them, finding the right shoe height, or stepping into puddles.
- Since you're on a budget and starting from scratch, no dresses. They're just less versatile.
- Pick a couple neutrals that coordinate, and stick with them. Don't buy anything that can't be worn with your chosen neutral. I prefer black and gray, and have the hardest time coming up with outfits based on khaki/tan/beige stuff, so I just avoid that color family. Don't overload on one color, because blacks fade at different rates and there are eight hundred different shades of gray, etc.
- You will be tempted to buy shoes at Payless, but it's not a good idea. They'll wear out quickly. You don't have to pay a fortune for shoes, but you don't want to get the cheapest ones.
- Look at the care instructions. If you know you're going to be lazy about dry cleaning and hand washing, factor that into your shopping.
- Other things you want to watch out for: pilling (if the material already looks fuzzy on the rack, avoid), wrinkling (grab a wad of fabric in your fist and let it go), sheerness, especially in knits.
- Necklaces! They will instantly make you look better dressed. Get a few from the thrift store or your preferred cheapy mall store. Aim for noticeably bold but not huge and statement-y. Something like
is good.
- I often find really good basics at the Gap outlet. Target is good for "I need something businessy right now" but not always as good in the long run.
Congrats and good luck!

It can be hard to buy just a few pieces and have them work for you all summer, so I'd strongly recommend looking at what you already have that COULD work for the office (your tops and shoes especially) and build from there by choosing a color palette. That way you can mix and match things easily through the whole summer. I posted about this concept
in regards to someone packing for a work-related trip, but the advice still stands.
My fashion magazines tell me that color combos fashionable for this summer include turquoise/pale blue/cream, coral/pale yellow/white, and melon/grass/khaki. YMMV. Look at what you already have and try to put things together in 2s and 3s.
As for where to shop, since you're on a tight budget and are looking to get this done quickly, I'll dispense with my usual advice on quality thrift shopping and tell you to head to New York & Co, since they have things in "short" length which will save you some time on tailoring. (I'm similarly sized to you and do well here.) Depending on what you already have, go for 5 bottoms, as many tops as you can afford, and take everything to the tailor and tell them "make this all fit." Then head to your local thrift shop or Forever21 or whatever's local to you to pick up accessories - wide belt, skinny belt, scarves, sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat for when you're in the field.
Also, don't listen to people who tell you to stay away from linen. It's a great summer fabric, and if it fits right, it doesn't wrinkle as soon as you move in it. Pick up a cheap steamer or
Downy Spray Wrinkle Releaser
and enjoy being more comfortable than the linen-haters.

I particularly like linen mix fabrics, especially linen and rayon--you get the lovely drape and softness of rayon, but with a nicer texture and more breathability. You do have to iron it, though.
My summer uniform is cropped pants, which can be quite dressy if you get the right ones. I would try Coldwater Creek for those, as well as no-iron tops. The knit tops are nice, though I stay away from the tee shirts, as the fabric is really thin and see-through. Check the reviews on their website to see which shirts have this problem.
If you want quality that will wear for a long time, there's always Lands' End and L.L. Bean. Something like
this skirt
will go with everything, be comfortable, and look good even when it's hot. And it comes in petite sizes. I have three of their Bayside Twill Skirts, have worn them endlessly, and they still look new.
I would second the recommendation to wait to buy until you get some feel for the office culture there and what's expected; I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the dress is pretty casual for people who are pounding the pavement.

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful suggestions! I want to give a shout out to each of you but that's silly isn't it?
Skirts seem like a great solution. I actually bought a fantastic, black pocket skirt for $10 at the consignment store and am so glad to learn all the different ways I can make an outfit out of it.
I think I will wait to buy a majority of my items until after I get a sense of the culture of the office.
I was really anxious about this and now I feel like it is under control thanks to this great community. MetaFilter rocks!

Hey everyone! I just wrote a blog yesterday, but I figured I'd write again today. I've been putting off setting goals, cause I'm just not sure what kind of small goals I should set for myself. I've got my final weight loss goal, but still trying to figure out short term goals. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I want to avoid fast food for as long as possible, but how do I put that in a short term goal form? What other short term goals should I have?
Feeling lots better today. Cough is still hanging on, but my energy and positive attitude are back. Had to work today (I'm a Special Care Aid, or Nurse's Aid) and it was a good day. Still waiting for the sun to come out - it's been hiding for a few days now. I usually suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) so not seeing the sun all day is depressing for me. I do take medication for depression/anxiety, and vitamin D helps the SAD, but I really really wanna see the sun!
I've been doing the Healthy Eating challenge, and really enjoying it. I think the biggest change I've made is planning our weekly menu. It's not only helped with the grocery bill and not having to throw out spoiled produce, but it's REALLY helping me to avoid fast food. Having something planned and ready to go takes away my excuse of "I don't know what to make, and nothing's thawed out, so we might as well get take-out." Can't do that when you already have a plan in place! It's working wonderfully. I DID have pizza the other day, cause my hubby was craving it, but I kept it reasonable. I don't think I've ever gone this long without McDonald's! At least not in several years! Go me!
One more week, and I'll be done with the Healthy Eating Challenge, and I'm gonna move on to the 28 day boot camp. YEAH BABY!!!
Take care everyone!
Day 22 today, and still sticking to my plan. Except for the exercise portion. I've been battling a chest/head cold for the past week, and it's kicking my ass. I'm not sure if it's just the cold, or a combo of the cold and my thyroid. Either way, I have next to no energy. Can't wait to get over this thing!
Went for a second round of blood tests to confirm whether or not I have hypothyroidism. I see the doctor for the results next Friday. I'm excited to get some treatment for this so I can start to feel better. I also have an appointment with a gastroenterologist or whatever they're called. They're gonna check my esophagus for any damage. I have chronic hyperacidity. So we'll see if they find anything.
My mammogram went well. The technician took pity on me since it was my first time, and didn't squeeze too hard. Nothing abnormal on the xrays, so I'm good for 2 years.
It was weigh-in day today, and I'm down a bit more. I've lost 9 lbs so far, and it feels good. :)
It's Day 12 of my weight loss journey. Still doing great. Day 4 was the absolute hardest, and it's been not bad since getting over that hump.
Something clicked this time. I have started this weight loss journey countless times before. I usually don't last a week. This time, before starting to make changes, I did some self-reflection: WHY can't I stick to a weight-loss plan? I discovered two things. 1) I have an addiction to fast food, and 2) I do a lot of harmful self-talk. (ex. "If you don't have a piece of cake, you'll miss out." "Don't worry, it's Thanksgiving. Everyone over-eats." "You can start eating healthy tomorrow, go ahead and get that burger and fries.") Even just realizing that I do these things has helped me quit doing them.
I've known for years and years that I need to lose weight. But when my doctor told me so at my last physical appointment, I decided "yep, she's right. Enough of this crap." Something clicked, and I was more determined than ever.
I put some things in place to help ensure my success this time. I tend to cheat if I don't have to be accountable to anyone outside myself, so I joined a local chapter of TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly). I've been to two meetings so far, and the weigh-ins do help keep me on track. I've also subscribed to SparkCoach. I've only been using that for a few days, but it seems to be a really good motivational/accountability tool. My mom calls me every few days to make sure I'm on track and not struggling, and my daughter & husband are being very supportive. I've also told anyone who cares that I'm on this journey. If they come to me and ask how I'm doing, I'd feel bad telling them I failed, so failure isn't an option anymore.
I have to go back to my doctor on Friday to talk about my blood test results (apparently something's wrong with my thyroid - more on that next time), I'm excited to tell her I've already lost some weight.
Keep kicking fat's ass!

A lawsuit against the National Marine Fisheries Service has been settled in District Court in Anchorage. Native and environmental groups took issue with some of the math the agency used to calculate how many Cook Inlet Beluga whales would be affected by seismic testing for oil and gas.
NMFS issued permits to Apache Corporation for that kind of testing last year. But the plaintiff's group in this case didn't like the way the agency projected the number of whales that might swim through these testing zones.
Rebecca Noblin is the Alaska Director for the Center for Biological Diversity. They joined the Chickaloon Native Village and the Natural Resources Defense Council as plaintiffs.
"Basically, the National Marine Fisheries Service didn't account for the number of Belugas that would be under water when they counted how many Belugas would be harmed and harassed by the company's activity. So as a result, they really underestimated how many whales might be harmed as a result," said Rebecca Noblin, Alaska Director for the Center for Biological Diversity.
They joined the Chickaloon Native Village and the Natural Resources Defense Council as plaintiffs.
The plaintiff's group logged several complaints about the permits, but this is the only one that stuck. The real problem is that they based the number of whales that would be affected on an aerial survey, but didn't correct that estimate for whales that can't be observed in that kind of survey.
"So that correction factor was used for the overall estimate of the whales in the Inlet for our population estimate, but it was not used when we estimated the actual animals that were in this area that would be affected by the project," said Brad Smith, Supervisory Administrator for NMFS' Protected Resources Division.
So, because there were some errors in these calculations, the court found that the agency's limit for takes of whales was arbitrary and capricious. That limit was 30 whales per year. About ten percent of the total population.
A 'take' in this circumstance doesn't necessarily mean a kill. The permits issued are called IHA's. Incidental Harassment Authorization. That can mean a couple different things, but basically, it means disturbing a marine mammal by conduct ranging from incidental harassment to killing.
For Apache's part, they did have a mitigation plan in place that NMFS was okay with. If Belugas started swimming into a testing area, they would pause or stop testing.
"They would have the observers on board the seismic vessel with binoculars and looking during daylight hours when visibility allowed them to see whether whales were coming in this zone at the point where they may be harassed," Smith said.
And beside that, Smith says Belugas tend to cluster; usually where they can get a fill of salmon near river mouths and not necessarily near testing zones. He says one testing zone is in an area where no whales have been observed by aerial survey.
"That's not to say that we wouldn't expect them to be found or to occur in the area where we expected most of the seismic noise to be found during the surveys, but rather the distribution is going to be clustered and most of the whales are not going to be in those areas but rather at the mouths of those salmon streams," Smith said.
NMFS has reworked their math and Apache is operating under a new batch of permits, but Noblin says a new approach is needed; that the focus of the agency should be more precautionary and look at all the activity going on in Cook Inlet. Apache, after all, is not the only company doing business out there, and oil and gas development isn't the only activity.
"There's shipping and there's pollution from Anchorage and there's all sorts of things going on in Cook Inlet that can impact Beluga whales. The National Marine Fisheries Service is the only agency that can really get a handle on everything impacting Beluga whales and balance all those competing interests," she said.
The permits Apache applied for allow for testing at both 180 decibels and 160 decibels. How loud is that? Well, back when NASA was still in the space shuttle business, they had to use a sound suppression system during launch so they wouldn't damage the cargo with excessive sound pressure. NASA kept the volume under 145 decibels.

No kidding. I admit raid progression is easier than it should be at the moment. We are seeing a lot of guilds who couldn't even down Illidan pre-3.0 full clear 10/25 man Naxx. We are not even trying at the moment for server first progression knowing just about anyone could do these raids. I am really hoping Uldaur is harder than Naxx to seperate the casuals from the dedicated/hardcore.

Reality is Overrated: 'SEAL Team 8′
We get a lot of pitches around here that emphasize just how real the military action sequences are in Hollywood movies. Studios emphasize the badass credentials of their military advisers and directors and actors rhapsodize about the thrill of creating action sequences that might pass muster with the guys who actually do it for a living. Seal Team 8: Behind Enemy Lines (out now on Blu-ray and DVD) is not one of those movies. +Continue Reading

Like a modern-day Cinderella, Chelsea Clinton was rarely included in the White House parties during her father's eight years as president. According to a March 17 report on NY Daily News.com, Chelsea Clinton described her teen years as the daughter of President Bill Clinton as very normal in many ways, thanks to her parents' efforts in that area. She was accustomed to dinners at the kitchen table and evenings filled with attention to homework.
The 34-year-old Clinton sat down with Marlo Thomas on Monday during which time she did admit she was always aware that she was "living in history" despite her otherwise almost-normal routine. Her parents were adamant that her school work was her primary attention. Surprisingly, she remembers attending only two White House State Dinners and the annual Christmas parties. She was allowed to attend a few musical concerts occasionally.
Maybe all that will change if her mother is elected in 2016. A quick re-reading of the article leads the reader to wonder if the whole purpose of the interview was not to cast an aura of middle-class family on the prospective candidate Hillary Clinton.
