With infections typically causing only mild illness, experts point to exaggerated fears as the real threat
TUESDAY, Sept. 22 (HealthDay News) -- With all the warnings and preparations, dire predictions and hastily ordered vaccines, could the growing worry about H1N1 swine flu prove more disruptive than the actual outbreak?
That notion is weighing on the minds of more than a few infectious-disease experts as the fall and winter flu season looms.
Not only does societal panic not help during a public health situation, such as the current H1N1 flu pandemic, it can actually backfire, creating its own set of problems, the experts said.
"We have limited resources in the U.S. -- if this [swine flu] captures our negative imagination, it's going to hurt our health-care system," said Dr. Marc Siegel, associate professor of medicine at New York University School of Medicine in New York City. "Our emergency rooms will be flooded with worried people, doctors' phones will be hanging off the hook, everyone will be afraid of every sniffle and wanting to get tested for the flu."
Some examples of moves that many believe are stoking Americans' flu fears this season:

Abstract: After September 11th many government officials have become concerned with the possibility of terrorists launching attacks on the U.S. through the internet. Cybersecurity in industries that form our economys critical infrastructure have been of particular concern. This paper examines the economics of cybersecurity. The economics of externalities, public goods, market failure, and government failure are all explored as they relate to cybersecurity. The financial services industry is clearly an area of critical infrastructure in our economy. This industry provides a case study to examine whether the market is providing the efficient level of cybersecurity or whether government intervention is required.

HOUSING AMERICA: Building Out of a Crisis
Could government's pervasive involvement in housing be related to the very real problems of affordability, availability, mortgage defaults and loans, and much more? If so, the appropriate policy response would be to significantly reduce, not increase, government involvement. In reassessing government housing measures, Housing America: Building Out of a Crisis is the authoritative and most comprehensive book available on resolving the housing crisis.

There are four ways to throw an exception in my opinion. They are:
1. Throw a new exception
a. throw new ArgumentException( … );
2. Throw the exception you caught
a. throw e;
3. Throw the same exception preserving the stack
a. throw;
4. Throw with the original exception as an internal exception
a. throw ArgumentException(innerException);
using System;
class Sample
public void Method1()
// possible throw options
// throw new ArgumentException(); - Origin of the exception
public void Method2()
catch(ArgumentException ae)
// possible throw options
// throw;
// - Preserves the original stack
// throw ae;
// - Breaks the stack an and throws the same exception from now on
// throw new ArgumentException(ae);
// - throws a new exception with an inner exception
// throw new ArgumentException();
// - Throws a new exception
catch(Exception e)
public void Method3()
bool cleanup = true;
cleanup = false;
catch (Exception)
// perform Cleanup on error
if (cleanup)
// perform cleanup on error
public static void Main()
Sample s = new Sample();
try {
I personally would like to classify them as into two categories,
1. Origin of the exception, the place where the exception starts
a. Throw new ArgumentException(..)
2. The place where the exception is handled and either gets mapped or rethrown
a. Throw new ArgumentException()
b. Throw new ArgumentException(innerException)
c. Throw e;
d. Throw;
There are not many options during the origin of the exception and so that is very clear. The confusion comes only when an exception passes through your code and you attempt to handle it.
In this case again, all four options are available, but only a few make sense. For example
1. Throw new ArgumentException()
2. Throw ae
both don't make much sense. Both of these have brighter counterparts in throw new ArgumentException(ae) and throw; which either captures the inner exception or preserves the stack. That leaves us with only two options in the way you handle and throw an exception:
1. If you want to map your exceptions
a. Throw new ArgumentException(innerException); (or)
2. If you want to log contextual information and pass on the same exception
a. Throw;
If you use the finally pattern as below, then you don't need the throw;
If you use the Exception pattern as shown below then you need the throw to preserve the stack.
Incidentally, I noticed that performing cleanup on error in .NET is complicated. You have to either catch all exceptions and cleanup or use a variable that can tell you if a cleanup is required in the finally block. Both of them seem to violate the .NET patterns of catching only exceptions that you can handle and not using return values to understand errors.
If you had the cleanup in the catch block and you want to make sure it runs on any error, you have to catch Exception e which is not advised. This is another pattern that can be used to avoid that, but seems to me to rely on return value type paradigm which is also not advised either.
So what you choose seems to be up to you to choose!
Krzysztof Cwalina has a very interesting article on exception at http://blogs.msdn.com/kcwalina/archive/2007/01/30/ExceptionHierarchies.aspx

Stay 11-13 August 15
Myself, family including 5 year old son stayed for a 2 day break, unfortunately mine was cut short due to being ill on the first morning due to the inefficient manner of how my dietary request was handled.
I had emailed well in advance advising of my gluten intolerance and was advised that this would be met, however upon arrival to breakfast on the first morning nobody knew anything, I was cooked a breakfast which resulted in me being ill for 3 days and ruining the remainder of my stay. Even when I complained several times it was not taken seriously enough and nobody seemed that apologetic. However I have to say that the chef who had not been there the previous day was very good and sat down and spoke with me. However for people that do not have dietary issues there is no need to worry about my comments, but those who are Coeliacs I would be very cautious. I am bringing the above up as I think the hotel needs to improve on this kind of issue so as not to allow something like that to be repeated. With regards to the hotel itself I cannot fault it and our room which was sea view was of a generous size and very airy with a larger than average double bed which was very comfortable. One thing the hotel could improve on is the check in process, it seems quite long winded compared to other hotels and the majority of time there was a lengthy queue.

Hilton Metropole visit August 2015
Stayed this last weekend 8th August 2015 and room has been refurbished recently.
Bathroom very clean, modern and fresh but wardrobe was an old wooden affair, totally out of keeping with the modern decor and doors and door framework in the room are original, old, and look out of place with revamped room. Room also very hot with no air conditioning and windows locked so can only open a few centimeters. Only one lift was working and the hotel was very busy so you had to either wait ages for the lift or use the stairs. Not great when you are on the 6th floor with a 4 year old. Breakfast was good with a large selection of choices.

Fantastic sea view
I stayed in one of the refurbished suites and was very pleasantly surprised by the changes.
The concierge went out of his way to help me and the staff were all very polite. This is a very big and busy hotel so breakfast can feel a bit 'manic' but there is plenty of choice. I had a very relaxing stay.

Only gave 4 for Food because, although the Breakfast was excellent in the main Restaurant, dinner was less so.
Given the amount of seafood available locally, the cod was indifferent and the sweet potato mash overpowered everything else. I did mention it to the waiter at the time. The apple and celeriac soup was different and enjoyable but £20 for soup, roll and butter and a good parsnip puree in the main course was a bit over the top.

Breathtaking Modern Oceanside Condo/ Infinity Pool

From $125 / night
Description from the owner
Description from the owner
Bedrooms: 2/
Bathrooms: 2/
Sleeps: 6/
Type: Apt. / Condo
Located on a promonotory in the Caribbean on the exclusive north drive out of San Miguel Cozumel, our spacious,freshly renovated 2BR condo has amazed every visitor that has seen .
This is an 11 unit condo building which yields a very private guest experience, in contrast to the apartment type condos nearby and high density units to the south and at San Francisco beach. The recently constructed and lighted walking trail takes you north to the Jack Nicklaus Golf Course or south for a pleasant walk to town. A generous supply of lounge chairs, tables, market umbrellas are available on the pooldeck. A ladder entry takes you into some of the most pristine snorkling waters on the island. For the brave and young, you can "walk the plank", the 12 foot diving platform that rises from the pool deck to the sea. There are showers and a barbeque available for guest nearby.
Everything in the condo is absolutely new, fresh and first class.
A stylish cement platform sofa with leather recliners decorate the living room. The new furnishings are custom made after the designs of a modernist Mexican architect. Dramatic masonry pillars and wall alcoves define the spacious living room and large dining room. Canvas, handpainted murals by Judith Kjenstad decorate the walls and alcoves. Judy is a well known Scandinavian folk painter who has produced for our condo some remarkable paintings inspired by Mexican folk painting.
If you love to cook, you will be amazed at this kitchen. Granite counter tops, GE Profile appliances including a dishwasher and convection oven.
The Master Bedroom has a king bed with a new pillow top mattress. The room features a custom made dresser as well as built-ins in the large closet. Because of the size of the master, there is a sitting/reading area for your enjoyment in front of the glass oceanview windows. A separate vanity area awaits you and there is a large walk-in shower.
The back bedroom features two double beds and a large closet and built in dresser. Two attractive windows view a internal garden area. The second bathroom there has a separate vanity as well, with a large walk-in shower.
We have packed these spaces with amenities we enjoy, like an audiophile stereo with IPOD docking and an LCD TV/DVD combo for your movies or ours.
The Costera Norte is the exclusive quiet area on the island where luxury condos are being built. If you rent another unit south of San Miguel, your week in Cozumel will be faced with thousands of cruisers leaving the ships for town and the taxis that follow them. San Francisco beach is daily stacked with cruise ship beach visitors and the jet ski and activities.
When Mexico decided to provide an ocean retreat for the President, it selected Cozumel as the location. They chose the North Drive (Costera Norte) for the location. So the President of Mexico is our neighbor to the south.
There are reasons why our three condos have one of the highest returning guest rates on the island. First is the unique location. If you are considering a condo rental, first ask "is it right on the ocean?" Many condos that advertise "right on the ocean" are actually buried in high density complexes near the ocean or located in high rise condos that feel more like apartments than private condos. Our condos are located on one of the most pristine shores in Cozumel.
We owned an historic Inn in Stillwater Minnesota for 18 year. We know how quickly a property can become a "rental". Our goal is to make this condo feel like you are staying in the owners home, which indeed you are!TripAdvisor property ID 3804591 ...Read more
Additional Location Information
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal cited Cozumel island as the SAFEST PLACE IN MEXICO. Cozumel was the fertility island of the Maya in the Yucatan. When Jacque Clousteau discovered its pristine reefs, it became a dives destination and eventually the snorkling and diving paradise it is today. Today it has become a cruise ship Mecca with over a million cruisers a year visiting. From the town of San Miguel to San Francisco beach the daily cruisers crowd the island. It you know the island, you know why we promote our very special "Costera Norte" or north coast. Convenient to the airport, the town of San Miguel (Many people don't rent a car) this location is the ideal base to enjoy the exuberance of beauty and Mexican culture on this unique island.

Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
We stayed here for four days and had to drag ourselves away when it was time to move on! Perfect location right on the water, small block of condos so the gorgeous pool isn't crowed. Diving board into the crystal clear ocean and amazing snorkeling. Has everything you need from a lovely and well stocked kitchen to delightfully comfy beds, good wifi and a huge DVD collection. The owners are really helpful and quick with correspondence.
It was perfect for complete relazation!

"Absolutely amazing condo rental!"
This condo is simply incredible!! Right on the ground level by a gorgeous pool overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea. All amenities are modern and well taken care of. Even though you're in Mexico, you feel like you're in a high-end, modern American condo. Open a few windows and feel the ocean breeze flow through this place like a wind tunnel. Can't say enough about this place. You will not be dissapointed!

"It was amazing, loved the condo vacation of a lifetime!!!"
Make sure to enjoy the breeze that comes in the bedroom window. The sound of the waves, it makes sleep so peaceful. The beautiful pool a step away from the ocean. The condo staff was so helpful. We got to know them by name. We stayed for two weeks and I have to say I know why people own a bit of Paradise so they can come more often.

"Great condo, great location"
We loved our nine days at Miramar 102. The condo has a pool large enough for lap swimming and easy access to the ocean and some great snorkeling. The condo has everything you could want or need for the perfect vacation. Being on the 1st floor meant we were steps away from the pool and the ocean. We highly recommend this condo.

"The best place to stay in Cozumel, period."
I want a vacation condo like this to come to any time I want. I frankly didn't want to write a review because I don't want this condo to be sold out.
That said, Jill was so gracious to my daughter and I when we came to Cozumel and needed a place, that I have to thank them by writing the truth. This place is the bomb! It is so amazing, I wish I could live there year round. I want to furnish our new home the way this condo is furnished. The bed is wonderful. The chairs looking out over the infinity pool to the sunset over the Caribbean sea... Well it's just plain paradise, Period.

"Miramar unit 102 - Cozumel"
Miramar Unit 102 is a beautifully appointed and a very comfortable condo. This first floor unit provides lovely views and easy access to the pool and Caribbean. It is located north of town and is about a 1-1/2 mile easy walk. If you head north about a mile next to the azul Beach Club is a very nice free beach with comfortable lounge chairs. Get there early and plan to spend the day. The Lawson's were extremely knowledgeable hosts and very responsive to our questions. It was a pleasure to have the chance to meet them both.

"Stunning, roomy oceanside condominium in a small, quiet complex."
Our stay in Miramar #102 was exceptional. This condo is beautifully decorated and on the ground floor so the infinity pool is in your backyard. We love being on the north side of the island and walking into town for dinner at one of the many fabulous restaurants. Cab ride one way is approx. $5.00 U.S. Big priority for us is peace and quiet which was so abundant at Miramar #102.

"Highly Recommend staying at this condo in Cozumel"
Our group of four stayed at Miramar 102 for a week during Carnival 2013. The condo was beautifully decorated with a Mexican flair. We had an amazing view of the ocean and enjoyed every breakfast outdoors, since the condo is on the ground level, so easy access to patio and pool area. Also enjoyed the beautiful Cozumel sunsets poolside. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed and everything was very clean and easy to find. The condo was in an excellent location, quick cab ride into town to enjoy all the Carnival events, without being too close to town, so it was a quiet and relaxing location. Jill was extremely helpful, answered our questions quickly. She even called to make sure we had arrived with no problems. Cozumel is a small island, easy to get around and the locals are friendly and happy to help tourists. We would highly recommend going to Cozumel if you are looking for a safe and friendly place to be in Mexico. It is especially fun during Carnival!

"A perfect winter escape from snow"
This condo was perfect for my family. The owners have carefully anticipated what their guests might need during their stay. The infinity pool was steps from the condo with the sea extending below the sea wall. There is a spiral cement staircase entry into the ocean where we would snorkel everyday. We also loved the platform in which we could leap into the ocean!

"Perfect 10 for 10 days!"
Our family of 5 visited Miramar #102 in June, 2012. I had did a ton of research online to first of all find this gem, and then had an extremely easy time coordinating payment and additional information from the owners. We were looking for a place to be able to come and go from while taking full advantage of everything the island had to offer. We snorkeled at the condo nearly every day, ate out every evening, rented a car for most of duration, toured beaches on other side of island one day, did turtle conservation with the kids late one night, did dolphin swim at Chankanaab, did Xplor theme park on mainland, watched a movie every night at condo, spent a day at Paradise Beach, and had a few mornings/afternoons to just sleep in and take advantage of the pool and jumping ledge. Definitely one of our best family vacations yet. I want to come back with maybe another couple sometime to see that blue water. I would recommend this condo to anyone.

"Most amazing condo experience ever."
The condo is absolutely amazing. The first thing I noticed as soon as I walked in was the gorgeous view from the main room, the kitchen, the front hall, and the master bedroom. A sweeping view of the ocean, it is enough to take your breath away. The décor is very tastefully done and has a very relaxed, vacationing feel to it. The condo is sparkling clean and modern. The kitchen is a lovely size with an adjoining bar, making it a great spot to cook and socialize. The master bedroom is very large and has its own private bathroom. The second bedroom is very comfortable as well, with its own bathroom, vanity, and shower. When you walk out onto your back deck, you are steps from a gorgeous infinity pool and the ocean, which is a wonderful spot for snorkeling. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. I recommend this condo to anyone visiting Cozumel.

"Staying here was the key to our best family vacation ever!"
This condo exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely ideal. Our family of 5 (including a teen) found it to be relaxing, spacious and a ton of fun. This place was perfect no matter if we wanted to explore Cozumel or just spend the day at the pool. Since the pool and the ocean were literally outside the door, it was perfect for soaking in the sun, playing and snorkeling in the ocean, and relaxing. The kids had a blast jumping off the platform attached to the pool that went right into the ocean. Our hosts gave us such great directions and advice, we were also able to explore the island and find great restaurants, other beaches and fun excursions for our family. The condo is decorated in a way you truly feel at home. We had everything we needed and can't wait to go back.

"Quiet, relaxing and wonderful"
This is a small condo located on a coral cliff above pristine ocean. The view from the pool area, which was never crowded, was stunning. There is a 10 foot drop into crystal clear water. Perfect for snorkeling. The variety of fish, coral and even moray eels was really surprising. You are a short drive or about a mile walk to the center of town. Sunsets are outrageously enthralling. We have traveled extensively and this island is one of the nicest we have ever seen. This condo is the perfect place for home base.

"What a fantastic place to stay!"
We have been visting the island of Cozumel for over 20 years and I can say that this is by far one of the best places that we have stayed! The condo was not only beautiful but also quite and furnished with everything that we could possibly need! Snorkeling was great and the pool was just what we needed when it was time to relax. Being that it is a 1st floor unit made it easy to enjoy the pool even more. Thank you for sharing your home with us ~ I think we have found our home away from home!

Breathtaking is definitely an accurate description of this condo. The decorating inside is amazing and you immediately feel at home with the vibrant colors and amenities that include everything you need for a great time on this island paradise. We loved the pool and our favorite part was just sitting on the shallow swim deck overlooking the ocean. We had some of the most amazing snorkeling right along the front of the condo that we have ever experienced. Why pay for a guide when you can spend hours seeing all the same fish whenever you want right here! Of course the scuba diving in Cozumel is awesome and we ventured out and found the most amazing restaurants. We have stayed in many places and condo's in the past but this has been our favorite by far. It is definitely a step up from anything else we have seen on the island. Thanks for an incredible time in paradise!!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. For two decades, scientists have been pursuing a potential new way to treat bacterial infections, using naturally occurring proteins known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Now, MIT scientists have recorded the first microscopic images showing the deadly effects of AMPs, most of which kill by poking holes in bacterial cell membranes.
Researchers in the laboratory of MIT Professor Angela Belcher modified an existing, extremely sensitive technique known as high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM) to allow them to image the bacteria in real time. Their method, described in this Sunday's online edition of Nature Nanotechnology, represents the first way to study living cells using high-resolution images recorded in rapid succession.
Using this type of high-speed AFM could allow scientists to study how cells respond to other drugs and to viral infection, says Belcher, the Germeshausen Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Biological Engineering. The new work could also help researchers understand how some bacteria can become resistant to AMPs (none of which have been approved as drugs yet).
Atomic force microscopy, invented in 1986, is widely used to image nanoscale materials. Its resolution is similar to that of electron microscopy, but unlike electron microscopy, it does not require a vacuum and thus can be used with living samples. However, traditional AFM requires several minutes to produce one image, so it cannot record a sequence of rapidly occurring events.
In recent years, scientists have developed high-speed AFM techniques, but haven't optimized them for living cells. That's what the MIT team set out to do, building on the experience of lead author Georg Fantner, a postdoctoral associate in Belcher's lab who had worked on high-speed AFM at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
How they did it: Atomic force microscopy makes use of a cantilever equipped with a probe ti

The Dead Sea Scrolls
and Christian Origins:
General Methodological Considerations
More than fifty years have passed since scrolls and fragments were first discovered by a Bedouin in 1947 in a cave close to the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine. Since that time, especially during the course of the subsequent decade (1947–1956), ten other caves of the same area of the Jordanian-controlled West Bank near the Wadi Qumran yielded written materials of incredible value dating from the end of the third century B.C. up to the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
In a way that no one would have expected, these discoveries have shed light on four different areas of the ancient history of Judaism. They have given us firsthand knowledge about the form of the languages, Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew, that Jews spoke and wrote at that time in ancient Judea. They have borne eloquent testimony to the shape of the text of the Old Testament or the Hebrew Scriptures that those Jews were reading. They have shed new light on diverse forms of ancient Palestinian Judaism itself in that period. And they have provided much information about the Palestinian Jewish matrix from which early Christianity emerged.
This chapter and the next one will concentrate on the last mentioned of these areas in order to bring out in a brief way the contribution that such discoveries have made to the beginnings of Christianity. First of all, however, some general methodological considerations have to be made. They are important because of the way the Dead Sea Scrolls have been presented at times

Globe tipsheet: Sports Photography
Our June contest theme is Spring Sports, so I asked the Globe's talented sports photographer, Jim Davis, to write up some tips for taking good sports pictures.
Jim, who's been on the Globe staff since 1993, has been named Photographer of the Year by the Boston Press Photographers Association twice, and was also National Football League Photographer of the Year. Before coming to the Globe, he was on the staff of the Boston Herald for 8.5 years and with the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune for 5 years.
You can see a portfolio of his work here.
Jim mostly shoots professional sports, and the photos I chose to illustrate his points are of Boston's pro teams. But his tips are designed for the amateur standing on the sidelines of his daughter's softball game as well as sitting in the stands at a Celtics game.
By Jim Davis
Globe Staff
One of the most important tips for shooting sports for an amateur (as well as a professional) is to fill the frame as much as possible. If you don't have a long telephoto lens, that means you have to get as close to the action as possible. Even if you do have a long lens, you still want to fill the frame with the action to avoid having to blow up the image too much, which can lead to a loss of quality in a print.
1/1000 sec. at f/4.5, ISO 200, focal length 420mm
Some sports are easier to get close to than others: Basketball, for example, where you can sit on the baseline under the basket. Others, such as ice hockey, are much more difficult to get as close up as you need to be.
For a lot of sports, you can get decent photos without long glass, but you will have to limit yourself to only certain parts of the playing surface. For example, if you are shooting football, stay in the back of one end zone, or on the sidelines near the end zone, and wait for the action to come to you. The same guidelines that you use for football will also serve you well for soccer and field hockey.

1/1000 sec. at f/2.8, ISO 1600, focal length 400mm
Sports such as track and field present opportunities for good photos without the benefit of long glass. For instance, you can position yourself inside or outside one of the curves of a track, and shoot your subjects as they come around the corner right in front of you.
For baseball or softball, you should get as close to either first base or third base as safely possible (without being in the field of play) and just concentrate on action in that area. Usually first base will see more action because many more runners in a game reach first than will reach third.

1/1300 sec. at f/6.3, ISO 1000, focal length 200mm
Ice hockey presents its own unique challenges. Shooting through the glass along the boards is very difficult, as most rinks have older glass that is scuffed and scratched from pucks and bodies bouncing off, which is not conducive to clear photos. If you have a lens that is at least a 200mm or longer, you can find a spot high up in the stands and shoot over the glass. Sometimes there are spots in the penalty boxes that can produce nice shots, but it can be dangerous, and wearing a helmet would be recommended if you shoot from there.

1/640 sec. at f/3.2, ISO 1000, focal length 300mm
Cross-country can make a nice photo with shorter lenses at the start of the race, when all the runners are bunched together.
Tennis with a short lens is difficult, but if it's possible, position yourself off to the side, near the net, and shoot the players when they come to the net.
Swimming and diving present a challenge, and not just because of your proximity to the action. The pools where the events are held are often very humid, and (especially in winter) your lens can fog over because of the change in humidity when you come in from the cold. You can try to prevent this from happening with this trick: In your car during the ride to the pool, put your camera on the floor under the passenger's side glove box with the heat fan set to blow from the floor vent on to the camera.
Once you've decided where you are going to shoot from, the next step is deciding what and when to shoot.
Some sports offer almost constant action, such as basketball, volleyball, and ice hockey, while others, like baseball and softball, can be slower paced. Capturing peak action takes time and practice (and usually a lot of wasted film or disk space).
How much to shoot depends on whether you are using a digital camera or a film camera. With digital, you can shoot much more because of your ability to delete frames that are not up to par, but with the cost of film and processing, it can be VERY expensive to shoot too much film.
Action shots are good, but reaction pictures can be more memorable, especially if the event you are shooting is a tournament game of some kind -- the emotions and reactions of the players can make great photos. In that situation (particularly if you are shooting film), you should always remember to save some frames for the end of the game, where the strongest emotions are usually exhibited.
in Game 4 in the second round of this year's NBA playoffs. (Jim Davis/Globe Staff)
Capturing the emotions at their peak requires some advance planning, such as positioning yourself so that you have a good angle of the bench or the dugout when the players react at the precise moment the contest is over. Or try to anticipate where the players will run at that moment: Baseball players quite often head for the pitcher's mound; basketball players usually run to the center of the court.
(Jim Davis/Globe Staff)
If you want to concentrate more on the players still on the field, pick someone like the pitcher in baseball, or the goalie in hockey, and focus on them as the game ends.
got by him in overtime in this year's playoffs. (Jim Davis/Globe Staff)
1/640 sec. at f/2.8, ISO 800, focal length 300mm
Another important thing to watch out for is your background, which is more crucial with a shorter lens, not as crucial with a long lens. Before you start shooting, especially outside, look to see what is going to be in the background of what you are shooting. Try to avoid bright white things such as walls, or shiny reflective things such as empty bleachers. Not only can they be distracting in a photo, they can also throw off your camera's meter readings, giving you incorrectly exposed pictures.
Shooting inside dimly lit gymnasiums, pools, or tracks can pose problems as well. Today's newer camera models are a vast improvement over the equipment of the past, but you will still have to be careful about your camera settings. Make sure you adjust the ISO to a high rating (probably at least 1600 or above), and, although it's not always possible, try to keep your shutter speed at 400 or higher. Obviously in the indoor settings, you want your lens aperture to be wide open, hopefully at 2.8 or lower.
(Jim Davis/Globe Staff)
1/250 sec. at f/2.8, ISO 2500, focal length 300mm
These are just guidelines; each situation is different, and you will have to adjust accordingly. If you are shooting with a digital camera, do some test shots and look at them in the back of the camera and see how it looks. If you are shooting film, and if you shoot at the same venue a lot, perhaps you can shoot a test roll at different exposures (this is called bracketing), and see which one works best.
I try not to use a flash for any sports photography, but you may find that some buildings are just too dark to avoid it. If that is the case, try to use just a small amount of light to fill in the shadows and see if that works. As far as white balance on a digital camera, each model is different, but automatic might be your best bet.
As you get better at sports shooting, you may want to try to get into some more intricate methods. Panning, for example, blurs the background while the subject is sharp -- that gives the photo a feeling of motion. To achieve this result, you will probably need a monopod or a tripod, which will help you keep the camera as steady as possible.
Panning can help you get a decent picture in low light situations because you shoot at a low shutter speed (anywhere from 125th of a second down to a 15th of a second should work) which enables you to compensate for the lack of light.
It is best to position yourself so that the subject is moving from right to left or left to right across your field of vision rather than coming right at you. Make sure that you check your exposure and that you find the correct settings for the ISO and shutter speed you are using.
As you follow the subject, the idea is to move the camera at the same speed that the athlete is moving. That will keep the athlete sharply in focus, while the low shutter speed will cause the background to blur. Try to keep the subject in the center of the viewfinder, and shoot a LOT of frames.
Shot with a 80-200mm f/2.8 lens at about 1/400 sec.
Unless you own stock in Kodak or Fuji, I wouldn't suggest trying this with a film camera. I have sometimes shot as many as 200 to 300 frames in order to get one that is usable. You may get lucky and hit the jackpot early, but at least with a digital camera you can delete the MANY useless frames that you will shoot. Be patient -- this takes a lot of practice to get right!
These sports photography tips are general guidelines. Remember that every venue and every situation is different, and that what works in one place or at one time might not always work in another. Have fun and experiment to see what works best for you and the equipment that you have. But always remember: "FILL THE FRAME".

KONTAKT 3.5 extends performance ceiling
updated 12:20 pm EDT, Thu July 16, 2009
KONTAKT 3.5 update
Native Instruments has released v3.5 of KONTAKT, its dedicated sampling software. Aside from supplying samples, the software performs functions such as looping and tempo sync. The new version concentrates on performance, for instance introducing multi-core and mulit-processor support, making better use of Intel Macs.
The upgrade further reduces memory consumption in disc streaming, and introduces the KONTAKT Memory Server, raising the usable RAM ceiling on Macs to 32GB. Changes unrelated to performance include a new rack display of libraries and instruments, KSP aftertouch interpretation, and direct MIDI learn for parameter controls. Also present are improved automapping, better Pro Tools compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard, and individual bypasses for effect slots.
KONTAKT 3 costs $449, and requires Mac OS X 10.4. The v3.5 patch is a free download for existing v3.x owners.

Senate Republican Budget Proposal Could Slash Grants by 40 Percent
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After a year in which the West Nile Virus was discovered in 33 counties and 14 Pennsylvanians were diagnosed with the disease, including one fatality, Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced a plan to help counties monitor and control mosquitoes.
The Governor warned, however, that the actual grant amounts counties receive could be slashed under a budget proposal that was offered and approved this week on a party-line vote by Senate Republicans.
Under the Governor's plan, 62 counties will receive a total of $4.6 million, while the Senate's plan would offer only about $2.8 million, or about 40 percent less.
"We have made great strides in controlling the West Nile Virus in recent years because we have aggressively monitored and applied treatments to kill the mosquito populations in the state," said Governor Rendell. "As a result, we have seen a significant drop in the number of West Nile cases in the last six years, but that doesn't mean that the potential threat is any less.
"Counties need resources to help them target locations where mosquitoes breed and fund the spraying programs that keep people safe. We've been able to reduce the costs associated with running this program, but if the Senate Republican budget is adopted, many counties will have to drastically cut back their work. That puts more and more of our citizens at risk of contracting the West Nile Virus."
Governor Rendell said the decline in confirmed human cases is a result of knowledge gained in past years to better target mosquito populations and maximize available resources to control those populations. By comparison, there were 237 reported human cases of the West Nile Virus with nine fatalities in 2003.
In humans, the virus can cause West Nile fever and ence

LARRY O'DELL Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Virginia Supreme Court has tossed out the convictions of a former Democratic Party official who was accused of molesting three children.
Michael Armin Gardner was convicted of molesting two girls who attended a slumber party for his daughter's 10th birthday. An Arlington County Circuit Court jury was unable to reach a verdict on a charge related to the third child. The 50-year-old former chairman of the Democratic committee in Falls Church was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
In a 6-1 ruling Thursday, the Supreme Court said the trial judge improperly barred two character witnesses from testifying about whether Gardner had a reputation as a good caretaker of children. Their testimony was limited to Gardner's general reputation for honesty and peacefulness.

Had first appt today. By last period and calendar should be approx 8 weeks and a couple of days. Appt consisted of bloodwork, urine test, pelvic exam and that was it. I was a little disappointed. It doesn't really seem very real other than the awful nausea in the evening and the fact I've had to purchase a larger bra and my breasts are super sore.
This will be our first child and I guess I was hoping for more concrete visual that there is actually something growing inside me.
HasĀanyone else experienced the same feelings?

text: Josh is from Amory, MS where he attended First Baptist Church. After graduating from Amory High School in 2005 and never really establishing a relationship with Jesus, he fell away from the church and into a lifestyle that was far from Christ. In 2008, Josh committed his life to Christ and left the old behind. He transferred from Itawamba Community College to Mississippi State University in 2008. While there, he became an active part of Calvary Baptist Church and, eventually, became a youth intern. It was during this internship, that he felt God calling him into student ministry. While at Calvary, Josh lead worship for the youth and their college ministry, CW215. After graduating from MSU in August 2011, he became the youth minister at First Baptist Church in Maben, MS, where he served for two years before being called to Folsom in May of 2013. It was during those couple of years that God really laid on his heart that student ministry was definitely where He wanted him. Today, students are bombarded with ideas and images that are far from Christ, and Josh's passions are to build relationships, minister to students, and show them that there is a way better route, through Jesus, than what the world shows us. Josh and his wife, Olivia, were married June 29, 2013 and share the same heart for students. Josh attends New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, LA where he's working towards a Master's of Divinity in Christian Education. In his free time, Josh likes playing guitar, watching movies, being outside, and playing with his dogs, Ace and Shadow.

Re: Aliens - Actual or Imaginary?
Expand Messages
- Hello Etznab and All,
Yes, it seems that Twit
and ECKankar (Klemp)
want it both ways when
it comes to religious dogma
concerning non-physical
Astral/Psychic or God World
Projection by various imagined
"bodies" and actual Physical
Travel via space craft (UFOs
BTW- How can a person do
"Astral Travel" in a flying saucer/
UFO? Doesn't this require an
Astral Body? Why does one
need a space craft if they can
Astral travel or is this like lucid
dreaming where you can dream
up whatever is needed?
Here's the problem. ECKankar
can't even prove Rebazar exists
and he's supposed to have a
physical body and been around
for over 500 years! Where is he?
In your dreams? Why? He's got
a real physical body right? Where
is he? It's not a belief of faith
right? So why doesn't he fly in or
"project" himself to EK Seminars
for, at least, H.I.s to see and hear?
It's never happened and never
will. ECKists are more likely
to see the Easter Bunny at an
ECK Seminar than Rebazar!
And, what "Plane" would a
person be coming from who
does actual time travel or is
from a parallel universe? It's
the Physical Plane! Otherwise
it's mental plane and imaginary!
If one has a physical body
and is traveling in time
from one physical place
(planet) to another physical
place (planet) why is this
a "spiritual" event and
of higher consciousness?
Is higher intellect and
greater technology the
same as having higher
consciousness like God
Realization? Not according
to ECKankar!

I like Amy Adams too, but I wanted an actress who was closer in age to Henry Cavill. She's 9 years older than her costar, and will be at least 40 by the time she plays Lois Lane in her third
film (assuming she signs for three as actors often do in these franchise deals). BTW, Margot Kidder was only 4 years older than Christopher Reeve.
Lois, in the typical setup, is the
's star reporter when Clark is a noob, so her being older doesn't seem that unusual to me.
Between endless reboots and adaptations I've lost track. However, at one point, it seemed to me the idea was that, while Clark was the noob, he wasn't a kid fresh out of college either. The implication was usually that he'd spent a few years having adventures (varying depending on the version of the origin you were reading/watching) before he decided to adopt the reporter persona.

Emerald Princess
Liz and I hopped aboard the Emerald Princess for a Caribbean Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades). The Cruise Ports includes stops at: Princes Cays, St. Maarten/St. Martin, Grand Turk and St. Thomas. I was a nice seven day cruise with beautiful weather and a great ship.
Princess likes to give the big ship feeling without it being overwhelming which is hard to do when the ship can accommodate 3,070 passengers. Princess managed to give us a relaxing cruise where we didn't feel rushed. The ship was very nice with 4 pools, several restaurants, a spa, various lounges and clubs, shopping and more. The Piazza area was their version of a centrum through the middle of the ship with retail , dining rooms, clubs and bars surrounding the area. The staff aboard were very nice and attentive. I enjoyed that this line attracts an "older crowd", less children and less of the party puking variety twenty somethings that other cruise lines tend to cater to.
We chose this cruise in particular due to their port choices and were happy at the smooth embarkation and disembarkation process. Checking onto the ship was also a breeze with our rooms being ready immediately and our luggage arriving quickly.
The shows and entertainment were great fun and we enjoyed the Movies Under the Stars. The food in the dining room is not as good as Royal Caribbean but there were several nights that "Wowed" me. We did like that there were plenty of quick food options such as burgers, hit dogs, pizzas, sandwiches and pastries that were not from the buffet. The drink selection and prices were very good and we enjoyed the variety of themed lounges as well as pool bars.
This was a great cruise and we were very happy to sail Princess. We look forward to our next cruise with them which we have already booked.

Tender to the Island
Due to the coral reefs surrounding the island; cruise ships cannot dock. Tender boats must be used to ferry passengers from the ship to the island. The Tender boats are an easy and quick way to get ashore. The boats are a nice size and comfortable. It's takes less than ten minutes to get from the ship to the shore.
**Be careful if you get motion sickness. Take some Dramamine ahead of time; the water can be rather choppy during the tender.**

The results are in from the first-ever statewide fall tillage transect completed late last year as part of a collaborative effort between the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Indiana's 92 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) and other members of the Indiana Conservation Partnership (ICP). The report shows significant increases in the adoption of conservation practices on farm fields by Hoosier farmers.
The tillage transect is a cropland survey conducted in each county by ICP personnel and Earth Team volunteers. Using a predetermined route, staff look at farm fields in their county collecting data on tillage methods, plant cover, residue, etc. in order to tell the story of conservation efforts in Indiana. The survey uses GPS technology and provides a statistically reliable method for estimating farm management and related annual trends. Transects are usually conducted bi-annually in the spring before crops are planted.
The fall transect estimated one million acres of living plant cover such as cover crops and winter cereal grains were planted on Indiana farms last year. These important plants protect soil from rain, snow and extreme cold, and retain valuable nutrients in fields benefitting water quality, and feeding diverse populations of soil biology. Residues protected from environmental elements play a key role in building soil organic matter and soil health.
The report also shows most Indiana farmers left their tillage equipment in the shed this past fall to protect their fields with harvested crop residues. Results for residues and soil undisturbed on harvested acres during the winter months include:
77% of corn acres
79% of small grain acres
82% of soybean acres
ISDA, NRCS, SWCDs and the other members of the ICP are actively promoting a total conservation cropping systems approach to farming which focuses on soil health and function. Soil health practices include no-till (never-till), using diverse cover crops, adaptive nutrient management, integrated weed and pest management, diverse crop rotations, precision farming technology and prescriptive buffers.
"We believe the no-till acres represented in the fall transect data are at a much higher and sustainable quality because farmers are using multiple conservation practices implemented as part of a system on their fields," said Jane Hardisty, NRCS State Conservationist. "The results of the transect show Indiana is a top leader in the nation in acres of cover crops planted which is important during weather extremes like those we have experienced this year."
"We know that farmers seek to retain soil and nutrients on the land, which promotes improved soil health and water quality. Therefore, tracking trends in conservation tillage, energy consumption and cropping systems is an important and valuable activity," said Ted McKinney, Director of ISDA. "Transects give conservation partners the opportunity to observe the current land use conditions and discuss the resource needs and accomplishments related to the soil and water resources in each county. Such efforts are particularly rewarding when the results show that Indiana is among the leaders in soil conservation and water quality."
The ICP is also currently wrapping up the bi-annual spring transect, which determines whether covers were unharvested or harvested small grains such as wheat. Estimates of spring tillage and verification of the cover crops planted last fall will be analyzed soon.
If you want to learn more about the transect data for your county, visit your local Soil and Water Conservation District office found here: http://www.in.gov/isda/2370.htm, or contact the Indiana State Department of Agriculture at mailto: firstname.lastname@example.com.

TAMPA, Fla. (March 6, 2012) Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues from 11 other institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom have used two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) one from the U.S. and one from the U.K. to detect a novel set of genes found to be associated with epithelial ovarian cancer patient survival. The discovery could open the door to new therapies for treating epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the most lethal kind of gynecologic malignancy.
The study appeared in a recent issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
The research team applied gene set analysis (GSA) for the first time to epithelial ovarian cancer gene databases. The gene set analysis mapped 857genes related to EOC that pass signals "downstream" to components in the cell which, in turn, are activated and trigger a change in the state of the cell.
One of the most significant gene sets they analyzed was comprised of a set of eight genes involved in macrolide (a class of drugs) "binding" which interact with immune suppressant FK506 and involve intracellular signaling.
Other studies have indicated that the binding protein (FKBP65) was "highly expressed in ovarian epithelium." FKBP65 has also been found to be inversely associated with the expression of tumor suppressor gene P53.
Researchers expect that the results of their GSA can be used to focus on the role and function of these specific gene sets and may ultimately help uncover additional genetic causes of complex traits.
"Epithelial ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality among women in the U.S.," said study co-author Thomas A. Sellers, Ph.D., M.P.H., Moffitt executive vice president and director of the Moffitt Research Institute. "Because women may vary in their ability to eradicate disease or tolerate treatment, genetic association studies like ou
