Gallery: Renzo Piano Unveils Green-Roofed Stavros Niarchos Foundation C...
The cultural center has been in the works since 2009, but the final plans were only just revealed at the end of June. The SNFCC overlooks the Athens' waterfront and will house a new opera house for the Greek National Opera, as well as the state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Library of Greece. The cultural center will sit on the site of the 42-acre Stavros Niarchos Park, also designed by Renzo Piano, to provide green and recreational spaces for the city. Paying homage to the historic culture and architecture of Athens, Piano has designed the complex as a contemporary Agora.
The top of the complex emerges from a hilltop and cantilevers out over the slope and is covered with a large green roof that connects directly to the park. One of the goals of the complex is to achieve LEED Platinum certification, making it the first to do so in Greece. As part of its sustainability plan, the SNFCC features a canal that functions as anti-flooding protection for the site, as well as a water recycling system that provides for on-site irrigation. A green roof above the structure offers shade and cooling, and a 2.5 acre solar photovoltaic system will be set atop to generate power for both the library and opera.
Construction is expected to start later this year and be completed in 2015, when the government will assume control of the center.
Privately funded, the US$803 million cultural center is expected to be a world-class cultural, educational, and recreational destination and a new urban symbol of 21st century Athens.

Excellent news Athens needs as many green parks as is possible, let's hope this is just a start…..

After almost two centuries of modern free-state life (1830-2012), and almost four decades of post-military-regime (1974-2012 democratic political life during which Greek cultural life had turned increasingly populist, Athens is about to be given a proper opera house and a proper national library, both of which will be housed in an edifice whose plans are signed by a real international architect. At last a no "no-name" architectural landmark for culture! This will not be just another convention center. What will happen when it is delivered to the Greek State in 2016 or 2017 is another discussion which is too untimely to begin. Culture and aesthetics of public space are no luxury.

Niarchos famous shipping business was responsible for the development of the oil supertanker. I wonder how many spills he may have caused for not double hulling his tankers. I thought Greece was totally broke. 803 million? When the government assumes control of the installation, it'll just be another mouth to feed out of the expense of the Greek tax payer. It's nice to know private funds payed for it so why don't they maintain it? Because it's too expensive to operate and clean a largely idle facility which is essentially a convention center for the few who can play instruments or paint or act. The effect is similar in America. This is just another example of convention center madness; cities all over the U.S. building newer and bigger convention centers, and since there is a surplus of convention center space then there are actual conventions and surprisingly not enough anime fans and Trekkie's to fill em all. Overall the demand for convention centers is declining because business are now hosting conferences on site, or outdoor fair's or pavilions which can be set up cheaply, quickly and easily in and around shopping malls or parking lots. Hotels have ball rooms or entire floors devoted to conferences so you don't need 2 million square feet of precious downtown space (which is where new convention centers are often built) to attract the next Comic-Con. City governments should get out of the convention industry and let the private sector handle it the way they do so well……profitably. I'm happy the Greeks have a sophisticated culture, but this is not the time for spending money for such extravagance. Why not let user fees fund the center for shows and plays and concerts and if they revenues don't pay for the centers upkeep maybe they should downscale the center.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

South Sulawesi
South Sulawesi
Spanish and Portuguese galleons, followed by British and Dutch traders, sailed these seas in search of the spice trade, escorted by their Men of War to protect them from the daring raids of the Bugis and Makassar pirates. Famed for their seafaring culture, the Bugis are still the driving force behind this world.
From as early as the 14th century, this are was filled with famous kingdoms, most notably are Luwu, Gowa, Soppeng, Tallo and Bone.
European influence started in the 16th century, when in 1538 Portuguese arrived in Makassar and sought audience with Gowa king.
Bone and Gowa kingdoms had a major war in 1562, but later on managed to resolve their differences. After Dutch and Japan were driven away, South Sulawesi became a part of Indonesia and was made into a separate province in 1964.
There are many flights and daily service from Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya and Manado. Through an asphalt road with some winding slopes, feel the fresh & cool air with its natural scene, a nice way to travel by car.
People & Culture
Makassarese and Bugis are religious people, most are Muslims and very strong minded. Bugis people are among the best sailors in the world. Seafarers of Bugis, Bajau, Butonese and Makassarese have traded with neighboring countries, most notably with the Australian Aborigines, for hundreds of years.
This place is a haven for culinary lovers. From fresh sea food, cooked Chinese or Indonesian style to the famed coto makassar--soup made from innards of cow, there is something new to try everyday. Sop saudara is quite similar to coto but it's more bland compared to coto. Konro or beef ribs soup is tasty and filling. For snacks you might want to try jalangkote, some kind of pastry with tasty filling, eaten with a spicy sauce.
For dessert, try pisang epe--flattened banana with palm sugar sauce, usually mixed with jackfruit or durian. Es pallu butung, made of sliced banana, ice chips, coconut milk and red sauce is also filling and refreshing. Pisang hijau is banana coated with flour and pandan leaves, thus causing the outer layer to be green-colored. It's sliced and then coated with cocopandan syrup.

Red Bull Racing
Constructors' championship 2010: 1st
Not bad for a drinks company, was it? Mark Webber sardonically made that reference in the first Melbourne press conference on Thursday, underlining Red Bull's stupendous 2010 achievement of winning both titles.
All the signs, both from pre-season and from the first free practice sessions here, suggest that RB7 will carry on where RB6 left off. There's continuity at every level of the team, not least in its quick and combative driver line-up, and the rest of the grid knows this is the combination to catch.
1 Sebastian Vettel (age 23, German, 62 Grand Prix starts)
The sport's youngest World Champion led the title race only once last year – but that was after the final race. It seemed unlikely in mid-year, when one prominent magazine said he had 'lost the plot', that Vettel could recover from incidents with his team-mate in Turkey and with Jenson Button's McLaren in Belgium, but three wins in the last four races sealed his triumph in style.
2010 season: 256 points, 1st – best result 1st Malaysia, Europe, Japan, Brazil, Abu Dhabi.
2 Mark Webber (age 34, Australian, 157 Grand Prix starts)
Webber did Australia proud with a 2010 campaign that brought four superb wins, none better than his commanding weekend-long display in Monaco. A slip-up in Korea and a flat finish in the UAE cost him the title after leading the race for longer than any other driver. But he's bounced back from the disappointment, he proved it with quickest time in the opening session here yesterday and he's up for another title chase.
2010 season: 242 points, 3rd – best result 1st in Spain, Monaco, Great Britain and Hungary.

Monday, February 6
Lacey, Washington—Students from the Women's Studies
Department of Saint Martin's University, with the support of
adjunct professor Teresa Marbut, will explore the impact of
agribusiness and capitalist corporations on women and children
in Third World and developing countries in an upcoming Robert A.
Harvie Social Justice Lecture. The lecture, "Buying Hope:
Women's Rights and Sustainable Living in the Age of Agribusiness
and Corporate Greed," begins at 4 p.m., Monday, Feb. 6, in
Harned Hall, room 110, on the Saint Martin's University campus,

to the whole foods and fair trade movements, holds a master's
degree in theological studies from George Fox University. She
will complete her doctoral degree in religion and philosophy
from the California Institute of Integral Studies this summer.
The lecture will consist of student presentations on ethical
alternatives to buying products that create a disparity in
workers' income potential. It also will highlight global
grassroots efforts seeking to support workers, including women,
and fair-trade initiatives that stimulate an environmentally
friendly and sustainable future for both producers and
consumers. Refreshments prepared with fair trade-certified goods
will be provided. Also featured in the presentation will be a
display of other fair trade products and a demonstration on ways
to find fair trade goods throughout Washington. Student
participants include:
Gina Saldaña, political science major with a women's studies
Marina Arias, psychology major with a women's studies minor
Christian Cabrera, community services major
Alyssa Nastasi, psychology major with a women's studies minor

Nodaway Lake
Nodaway is 7 feet low. The lake has 9 inches of ice and a good bluegill and crappie population. Bluegill - Fair: Bluegills are being caught using wax worms in 10 feet of water. Sorting is necessary for 7 to 8-inch fish. Crappie - Fair: The best crappie bite is in the evening just after dark. Fish minnows or wax worms in 10 to 13 feet of water. Sorting is necessary for the 9 to 10-inch fish.
Littlefield Lake
Littlefield has 10 inches of ice. Bluegill - Fair: The best bluegill bite has been in the afternoon. North of the beach in 10 feet of water was a good location for 7 to 8-inch fish. Crappie - Slow: A few crappies have been caught with wax worms. All sizes are being caught up to 10 inches.
Lake Anita
Anita has 9 inches of ice. Geese are keeping a large area of open water near the dam. Anita has 9-inch bluegill and 10-inch crappie. Bluegill - Slow: Bluegill bite has been slow. The best success has been around brush piles in the campground arm of the lake. Crappie - Slow: A few crappies have been caught in the late afternoon on minnows.
Cold weather has improved ice conditions in the southwest district. Lakes have 8 to 10 inches of ice. For more information call the district office at Cold Springs at 712-769-2587.
Lake Icaria
Most of the lake is ice covered. There is an open area just north of the beach point. Anglers are fishing nearby. Check the ice thickness often. Bluegill - Fair: Anglers are finding some good bluegills just north of the beach in the old creek channel and around some of the deeper cedar tree piles. Crappie - Fair: The old roadway on the main arm and creek channel in the lower portion of the lake is producing some crappies. Evenings are best.
West Lake (Osceola)
Most of the lake has good ice. There is a thin area just south of the west end of the dam. Be very careful. Crappie - Excellent: A lot of mid-sized crappies are being caught during the early mornings, evenings, and after dark. Minnows are best but wax worms will work.
Little River Watershed Lake
The water level is down about 12 feet to allow completion of a shoreline stabilization project. The fish have been restocked and are growing fast.
Fogle Lake S.W.A.
The water level is down about 6 feet to allow boat ramp repairs and crowd the fish to increase predation. The repairs are complete. The water level will be allowed to rise as run-off occurs. Anglers are fishing the flooded trees and sub-merged brush piles for panfish. Crappie - Good: Some nice sized crappies are coming from the flooded trees around the creek channel.
Lake of Three Fires
Most of the lake has good ice. Bluegill - Good: Several bluegills are being caught from the tree pile 150 yards north of the center of the dam. Crappie - Good: Some nice crappies are biting from the cedar tree pile just north of the center of the dam. Wax worms are working but minnows are best.
Green Valley Lake
Most of the lake is ice covered. The waterfowl have kept a couple of areas at mid-lake open. Bluegill - Excellent: Some real big bluegills can be caught from the deeper cedar tree piles immediately north of the center of the dam. Crappie - Excellent: The cedar tree piles are producing a lot of big crappies during twilight and evening hours. Mid-day crappie fishing has been slow. Minnows are best but wax worms will work.
Summitt Lake
The spillway replacement project is complete but run-off has not refilled the lake. Restocking and boating will occur when water levels rise.
Three Mile Lake
The water level is down about 4 feet. The lake is mostly frozen over. Crappie - Fair: A few nice sized crappies are coming from the creek channel edges in the upper portion of the lake and from around the deeper tree piles in the mid and lower portion of the lake.
Twelve Mile Creek Lake
The water level is down about 3.5 feet. Ice has formed over the most of the lake. Bluegill - Excellent: Anglers are finding some big bluegills near the flooded trees near the creek channel. 10 to 16 feet down is a good depth to start. Wax worms any time of the day are working well. Crappie - Good: Anglers are a lot of big crappies from around the creek channel of the west shore and the deeper edges of the fish mounds. Flooded trees and some of the deeper piles seem to be better. Twilight and night is the best. Mid-day crappie angling is tough.
Good ice is covering most lakes. The waterfowl are keeping the water opens at localized locations of the bigger lakes. Angling activity is very strong and anglers are finding a lot of fish. Check thickness often and be careful.

Is there a way (an app perhaps) that will wipe a phone if a certain password is entered at the lock screen? For example "letmein" unlocks the phone, but if you enter "wipeme" it will start the factory reset process, or erase the decryption key or what have you.

There is none in my knowledge. The good reason why its not there because if its applied to specific models then anyone who owns the same model and knew the code can erase your privacy. So its not a good idea.
There is no way to do this, although you could do it using SMS.
You would have to install an app like Cerberus which allows you to send an SMS to wipe your device.

Gallery: Incredible Sculptures You Won't Believe Are Made of Reclaimed ...
Van der Ende isn't just one of those guys who collects the odd scrap here and there – he hoards wood like squirrels stock up on acorns for the winter. His sculptures rely on thousands of pieces of scrap wood and to get all the right colors, he hunts for scraps in the dumpsters of Rotterdam. If he can't find the color he needs for one of his sculptures, he heads to a warehouse near Rotterdam that stores more than 7,000 old doors to find what he needs.
Related: 400,000 Plastic Sandals Upcycled Into Colorful Oceanside Sculptures
After finding the scrap wood doors, cabinets, and planks, van der Ende takes the object apart, removing any nails, screws and hinges and then he uses a saw-bench to cut the wood into veneers around 3mm thick. The bulk of the sculpture is constructed out of the plain wood veneers and then the colored veneers are added as the final layer to the bas-relief shape. He uses glue and nails to adhere the veneers and relies on perspective to exaggerate the form of the sculpture. In total, the amazing sculptures can take 6-8 weeks each to complete!

Stocks Socked Despite Upbeat China Numbers; Apple Falls
TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages slumped Friday as persistent worries about the ability of the U.S. to avert the so-called fiscal cliff and deep losses in Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares overshadowed encouraging Chinese manufacturing and U.S. industrial output data. Apple shares sank 3.9% after a Delaware court ruled Thursday that the iPhone infringes upon three patents held by Sony (SNE) and Nokia (NOK).Analysts were also playing a part in Apple's decline, with UBS analyst Steven Milunovich cutting his price target to $700 from $780 on lower-than-expected iPhone and iPad shipments in the first calendar quarter. President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Thursday night at the White House to discuss the U.S. budget, their first in-person meeting in four days. Statements from the White House and Boehner's office both described the talks as "frank," adding that the "lines of communication remain open." "Enthusiasm for equities continues to be tempered by the lack of progress by the White House and Congress on the fiscal cliff negotiations," said Addison Armstrong, senior director of market research at Tradition Energy. Michael Lewis, global head of commodities research at Deutsche Bank, said despite the Fed's implementation of QE4, "the market remains focused on the potential adverse liquidity impact of the U.S. fiscal cliff." "Furthermore, the Fed's targeting of U.S. unemployment as a tool to gauge monetary accommodation could be taken as hawkish given the apparent decline in U.S. unemployment over the past year," added Lewis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was fell 36 points, or 0.27%, at 13,135. Friday's dip left the blue-chip index down 0.15% for the week. Breadth was negative, with laggards outpacing advancers 19 to 11. American Express (AXP), Microsoft (MSFT) and Merck (MRK) and Disney (DIS) were laggards. Alcoa (AA), Caterpillar (CAT), Cisco (CSCO) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) were the top percentage blue-chip gainers. United Technologies (UTX) shares lost 0.52% after the company provided a 2013 profit outlook of between $5.85 a share and $6.15 a share and sales of between $64 billion to $65 billion; analysts are looking for earnings of $6.12 a share on revenue of $66.4 billion. The S&P 500 fell 6 points, or 0.41%, at 1414. The S&P shed 0.32% for the week. The Nasdaq decreased 21 points, or 0.70%, at 2971. The tech-heavy index dipped 0.23% for the week. The technology sector sank 0.95%. Sector decliners in the broader market also included utilities, health care and energy. Basic materials, conglomerates and transportation were among the sector gainers. Decliners edged advancers 1.1-to-1 on the Big Board, and incrementally on the Nasdaq. Volumes totaled 3.19 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.80 billion shares on the Nasdaq. In economic news Friday on China, the world's second largest economy, the HSBC December flash purchasing managers' index for the country expanded to a 14-month high of 50.9, exhibiting five consecutive months of increases. A reading above 50 signifies growth. "China's growth has a domestic edge to it, while the Japanese growth is reflecting weakness in international demand," noted Paul Donovan, global economist at UBS. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve reported Friday that industrial production rose 1.1% in November following a downwardly revised 0.7% decline in October. Capacity utilization rose to 78.4% from a downwardly revised 77.7% Economists, on average, had predicted that industrial production would rise 0.3% in November and capacity utilization would increase to 78%. "While much of the rebound could be attributed to the bounce-back from the Hurricane Sandy impact, the strong surge in the production of motor vehicles and machinery (after four months of weakness) suggest that overall demand (both for consumer and investment goods) is beginning to enjoy a period of rebound," said Millan Mulraine, an economic strategist at TD Securities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that the consumer price index fell 0.3% in November, down from a 0.1% rise in October. Economists forecast a 0.2% decline. The core CPI rose 0.1%, down from a 0.2% increase the prior month. The consensus expectation was for a 0.2% increase. European markets traded mixed as eurozone manufacturing PMI data missed expectations, Germany's December composite output PMI increased to 50.5 and Standard & Poor's slashed its outlook on the U.K.'s triple-A rating to negative from stable. The FTSE 100 in London closed down 0.13% and the DAX in Germany finished up 0.19%. Japan's Nikkei average closed down 0.05% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index settled up by 0.71%.

Hi Kevin,
After reading your comments on the DevBerry blog, I also found myself disheartened. All I can say is that I hope RIM will realize how important it is to support their developers. After all, the Users of BB devices are always on the lookout for good applications and programmes for their beloved BlackBerrys. Without them, I don't think there would be as many addicted CrackBerrys. And wouldn't that be a shame?

How you doing boys! This is my first post and I wanted to show a little appreciation for the inspiration that I found on the forums here and hopefully contribute a little bit to others who may be looking for ideas.
I recently sold my MM252 in favor of a 211 as the 252 was far more welder than I ever needed and I found myself borrowing a 120 volt lincoln when I needed something more portable. So I'm hoping the 211 will serve all my needs well.
On to the pics...

Thanks for the kind words.
All tube is .120" HREW, 1" & 1.5"
Work looks great and good pics. I have an issue but hope it's not. As long as the welder is on or there is weight on the bottom shelf...no tip over...but with the rear wheels as far forward as they are, it would appear that if someone would be lifting the welder off the cart, it could easily fall backward damaging the gages on bottles or more.Nick

To be honest, I haven't tested the cart without the welder on it and your post makes me want to test it as I don't want to have to rely on having weight on the lower shelf.
Thanks for the caution.

Obama's Game Playing Is Wearing Thin
President Obama told a meeting of the National Governors Association: "At some point, we've got to do some governing. And certainly, what we can't do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis." Really?
Yes, really. He added, referring to the sequestration: "These cuts do not have to happen. Congress can turn them off anytime with just a little bit of compromise."
Obama has repeatedly demonstrated that he does not consider himself bound by a duty of good faith to square with the American people. He has shown that he is unafraid to utter the most egregious distortions and exaggerations; he has no fear of being called on them.
Just consider the few assertions I've cited. "At some point, we've got to do some governing." Does he mean that at some point, he needs to quit using every possible opportunity to play golf on the public's dime, that he should stop treating the people's White House as a platform for permanently campaigning, that he intends to forgo his Alinskyite tactics of bullying and demonizing in lieu of dealing with issues on the merits, that he aims to quit flouting his legal obligation to present a budget and that he will begin to exercise leadership over his party and pressure its leaders in the Senate to pass a budget? I didn't think so.
How about his statement that we can't keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis? Does he mean that he is finally going to renounce his policy, first divulged by his former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, not to let a crisis go to waste, that he regrets having painted a false picture of crisis about the nation's uninsured to force Obamacare through Congress, that he is sorry that he used the 2008 financial collapse as an excuse to enact recklessly irresponsible bills to spend more borrowed money under the guise of stimulating the economy, that he is sorry he leapt on the Sandy Hook shootings to begin a frantic manufactured-crisis-driven crusade to ratchet up his effort to severely restrict the rights of gun owners, that he plans to repent for falsely laying the blame for our disgracefully unbalanced budgets on the "rich," who are already contributing more than their fair share, that he is going to square with the American people about the shameless hyperbole and corruption in his environmental agenda and cease and desist from his dishonest fear-mongering about carbon emissions to advance that agenda, that he is sorry for exaggerating the effects of the Gulf oil spill in order to justify breaching his promises to remove restrictions on offshore drilling and that he is going to quit pretending that America's infrastructure is in a crisis state of repair in order to fuel his case for ever-greater government control and the creation of public-sector jobs? I didn't think so.
Indeed, if Obama is so weary of crisis governance, of which he is the peerless master, then why is he using these very same speeches to manufacture a phony crisis over the sequestration? We are talking about very small-percentage cuts here, mostly in the rate of spending increases.
If Obama were interested in changing his MO from crisis-mongering to governance — instead of doubling down on his effort to expand the scope, reach and control of the federal government at any cost, literally — then he would quit characterizing every single activity of the enormously wasteful federal government as an essential service. Private-sector businesses don't enjoy the luxury of simply injecting public funds into their ailing enterprises to avoid cutting expenditures they can't afford. Are private-sector businesses and employees that much less important to Obama than public-sector services and employees? Silly question.
In his ongoing crisis-stoking, Obama never laments the real economic destruction his own policies have already caused. When he does deign to acknowledge economic difficulties, he callously understates the dismal conditions we're experiencing — and the hardship people are already enduring as a result of his ideological intransigence against cutting spending and reforming entitlements.
But what makes Obama's oratorical flurry against crisis governance an even more insulting farce is that we do have a real, wholly unmanufactured crisis looming that will affect far more than a limited number of government jobs and programs. At the risk of breaking an already broken record, I'd like to point out again that we are going bankrupt because Obama won't agree to spending cuts and entitlement reform.
It is time that he quit playing games and insulting our intelligence by blaming Republicans for the sequestration he authored and for allegedly refusing to compromise when they are the ones who have compromised. They have done so on taxes, whereas he has refused to compromise on spending and entitlements. You make a deal with Obama, and he moves the goal posts.
Seriously, how can Obama continue this charade with a straight face? How long will the public tolerate it?

My son is less than 6 years old, and last week we discovered that he has grown a little bit of pubic hair. This seems way too soon for this to happen. My older son, who is 9 years old, only now started growing a bit of pubic hair (and this also seems a bit early). Is this normal? Should we be concerned?
I found this entry at Michigan's Health System with lots of valuable information and links to more information: http://www.med.umich.edu/yourchild/topics/puberty.htm
Having read this article on Precocious Puberty if it were my son I would take him to the doctor. There is some concern that Precocious Puberty, puberty earlier than 9 years on in boys, can be caused by an underling disease.
It seems a check up is in order to be safe.
Six is way too young to begin puberty. Get him to a doctor NOW! The nine-year-old is also on the very young side. I'd have him checked out, too. You don't want either kids' bones to fuse as they will end up very short.
Definitely a doctor's appointment is appropriate. Be sure to not alarm your child with statements of "this is not normal". Approach the appointment/concern through the lense of health so that your child sees taking care of himself as important. Good luck

In addition to printing, the other feature in iOS 4.2 that I'd been looking forward to was AirPlay. My understanding from the keynote when it was introduced was that it allowed iOS to stream audio to existing AirTunes equipment (as well as provide video to the new Apple TV), but I can't get my iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 to stream audio to my old Apple TV like iTunes can. Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds, besides buying one of the new Apple TVs (which I can't because my TV is component, not HDMI)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, this would be known.
First, the old Apple TV won't be getting the update (since its now iOS based), and therefore wont support airplay.
Not sure of any workarounds for an old Apple TV that use the actual AirPlay standard. A hack may exist after 4.2 has been out for a while, but I think most people decided to just move to the new Apple TV instead.

Risk Assessment
Ecological Risk Assessment
Ecological Risk QuickLinks
An ecological risk assessment is the process for evaluating how likely it is that the environment may be impacted as a result of exposure to one or more environmental stressors such as chemicals, land change, disease, invasive species and climate change.
Every day, people face questions about environmental concerns, many of them related to plants, animals, ecosystems as a whole, and how we interact with them. These questions may be about potential risks such as impacts on the aesthetic value of a place due to physical alterations, effects of pollution on endangered species, or the consequences of long-term release of contaminants to an ecosystem. For example:
- How would the construction of a dam impact fish populations in nearby water bodies?
- Can the residential or agricultural application of an insecticide end up harming an endangered bird species?
- Do contaminants in the environment from an abandoned industrial or mining facility significantly reduce the use of the site and to nearby areas?
- What is the risk of introducing a non-native oyster to an estuary?
- How does fertilizer runoff reduce oxygen levels in water bodies such as bays?
- Are some plants or animals more likely to be susceptible to environmental stressors because of factors such as age, genetics, body size, or differences among species?
A key part of EPA's mission is understanding the potential effects of stressors such as those described above and managing risks from them in order to protect the health of the natural environment, and the natural resources that people rely on.
How Does EPA Conduct an Ecological Risk Assessment?
Ecological risk assessment includes three phases, and is generally conducted following the Guidelines for Ecological Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1998).
- Planning - Planning and Scoping process
EPA begins the process of a Ecological risk assessment with planning and research.
- Phase 1 - Problem formulation
Information is gathered to help determine what, in terms of plants and animals, is at risk and what needs to be protected.
- Phase 2 - Analysis
This is the determination of what plants and animals are exposed and to what degree they are exposed, and if that level of exposure is likely or not to cause harmful ecological effects.
- Phase 3 - Risk characterization
Risk characterization includes two major components: risk estimation and risk description. "Risk estimation" combines exposure profiles and exposure-effects. "Risk description" provides information important for interpreting the risk results and identifies a level for harmful effects on the plants and animals of concern.
How Does EPA Use Ecological Risk Assessments?
At EPA, ecological risk assessments are used to support many types of actions, including the regulation of hazardous waste sites, industrial chemicals, and pesticides; or the management of watersheds or other ecosystems affected by multiple chemical, physical, or biological stressors.
Ecological risk assessments can be used to predict the likelihood of future effects (prospective) or evaluate the likelihood that effects are caused by past exposure to stressors (retrospective). Information from ecological risk assessments are then used by risk managers for follow-up such as communicating to interested parties and the general public, limiting activities related to the ecological stressor, limiting use of a given chemical, or developing a monitoring plan to determine if risks have been reduced or whether an ecosystem is recovering.

Reading the Language of Firefly Flashes
by AMNH on
Flashing flirted its way up the firefly family tree. These beetles' evolutionary history shows a strange metamorphosis unfolding. Firefly eyes grow bigger, more bug-like, as the insects' light organs enlarge. Their antennae, used like a nose to follow pheromones, shrink into stubs. The more important bioluminescent courtship signaling became throughout their history, the more the trappings of invisible communication faded out.
When Marc Branham, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, began researching fireflies, he assumed such a beloved animal would be a textbook case in entomology. He was shocked to learn how little scientists knew about the common insect.
Q&A with Ian Tattersall: Masters of the Planet

Museum Curator Emeritus Ian Tattersall's latest book, Masters of the Planet: The Search for Our Human Origins, offers a look at early human ancestors and reveals how our species came to rule the planet. On Wednesday, March 28, Tattersall will discuss his work with Science Friday host Ira Flatow at a live recording of NPR's popular talk show in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. He will also speak about the book at a special Museum lecture on Monday, April 2. Tattersall recently answered a few questions about Masters of the Planet.
The Known Universe Hits 10 Million YouTube Views

Bioluminescence Across the Tree of Life
by AMNH on
Curator John Sparks is blogging weekly about the Museum's upcoming exhibition, Creatures of Light, which opens on Saturday, March 31.
Many people are familiar with the summertime flashing patterns of fireflies and have seen images of bizarre bioluminescent deep-sea fishes. However, few realize how pervasive bioluminescence is throughout the tree of life. Bioluminescence is known to occur in bacteria, protists, fungi, crustaceans, insects, worms, ctenophores, jellyfishes, squids, starfishes, sea cucumbers, tunicates, and fishes—not to mention sharks—as well as numerous additional invertebrate lineages.

Kimi Raikkonen has been stripped of his fifth place on the Abu Dhabi grid after his Lotus failed a floor deflection test...
Kimi Raikkonen has been stripped of his fifth place on the Abu Dhabi grid after his Lotus failed a floor deflection test.
In the wake of Saturday's qualifying at the Yas Marina circuit, Raikkonen's E21 and Nico Hulkenberg's Sauber were both put through an asymmetric LHS front floor deflection test by the FIA.
Hulkenberg's car passed, Raikkonen's did not.
"Car number 07 did not comply with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations as the front floor deflected more than 5mm vertically when the load was applied vertically to it at the point which lies 100mm of car centre line on the LHS," said a technical report by the FIA's Formula 1 technical delegate Jo Bauer.
"I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration."
Representatives of Lotus met with the Abu Dhabi stewards to explain, blaming the failure on kerb damage.
The stewards, however, disagreed and Raikkonen was stripped of his P5.
The Finnish driver, who won last year's Abu Dhabi GP, will therefore start Sunday's 55-lap race from the very back of the grid.

Mission Type: Orbiter
Launch Vehicle: Delta II, Model 7920H
Launch Site: Pad 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Spacecraft Mass: 865 kg at launch
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) Telescope; 2) Infrared array camera; 3) Infrared spectrograph; and 4) Multiband imaging photometer
Spacecraft Dimensions: 4.45 m long, 2.1 m in diameter
Spacecraft Power: Solar
Maximum Power: 400 watts
Program Manager: Lia LaPiana, NASA HQ
Project Manager: David Gallagher. Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Principal Scientists: Dr. Michael Werner, Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Dr. Jay Frogel, NASA HQ
Total Cost: $1.19 billion (including launch vehicle, observatory, mission operations and data analysis)
Space Infrared Telescope Faciility Launch Press Kit, NASA, August 2003.
Spitzer Space Telescope, originally known as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), was an orbiting observatory that studied the early universe, distant galaxies and newly forming stars and planets. It was also the fourth and final mission of NASA's Great Observatories, a series that has included the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.
The observatory consisted of an 85-centimeter-diameter (33.5-inch) telescope and three cryogenically cooled science instruments. The science instruments performed imaging and spectroscopy -- breaking light into different colors, like a prism, so the chemical composition of an object can be determined. Observations were conducted in the infrared to detect objects and processes in the universe that are either too cool or too dust-enshrouded to be seen otherwise. The observatory launched into an orbit that trailed Earth as it goes around the Sun. This unique orbit placed the observatory in deep space, far from the heat generated by Earth itself.
Spitzer also was unique in that it was smaller and lighter than past missions involving cryogenically cooled telescopes. In past missions, a vacuum shell surrounded the telescope like a thermos bottle, actively chilling the observatory and science instruments. On Spitzer, the vacuum shell surrounds only the instrument chamber and the liquid helium tank. Engineers refer to this configuration as a warm launch architecture. It means that much less coolant is needed, allowing for the use of a relatively smaller launch vehicle. The configuration allowed Spitzer to collect science data for more than five years -- twice the length of the longest previous infrared mission.
Spitzer was only one-third as long and one-eleventh the weight of its bigger sibling, the Hubble Space Telescope. The four-meter-tall (14.6-foot), 865-kilogram (1,907-pound) observatory enclosed a cryogenically cooled telescope and three science instruments - a multiband imaging photometer, an infrared spectrometer and an infrared-detector array camera - as well as all the required power, computer, communications and navigation equipment.
The telescope was cooled using extremely cold liquid helium. Over the course of the mission, this ultra-cold helium slowly leaked out into space. After five and a half years, all of the helium was lost and the spacecraft was reconfigured for an extended mission observing warmer targets.
The heart of Spitzer was an 85-centimeter-diameter (about 33.5-inch) telescope and three cryogenically cooled science instruments that performed imaging and spectroscopy at wavelengths from about 3 to 180 microns.
Like the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer was a Cassegrain design, named for the French sculptor Guillaume Cassegrain, who invented it in 1672. Light from distant objects in space enters the telescope and is reflected by a primary mirror at the telescope's rear. The light is then gathered onto a smaller secondary mirror suspended in the middle of the telescope near the front end. The light in turn reflects back toward the rear of the telescope, where it passes through a hole in the middle of the primary mirror. At the rear, behind the primary mirror, is the sensor that records the image. Spitzer's telescope weighed less than 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds).

If You Could Learn a Second Language, What Would It Be?
In an effort to broaden my horizons, and to watch my anime cartoons without subtitles, I begun a quest to learn the mystical and ancient language of JAPANESE! I've always wanted to learn a 2nd language, and I even took two years of Spanish in High School
