The consequences of an asteroid bursting near or hitting Earth could include shock waves that send seismic activity off the charts, knock over trees within an extensive radius, suspend particles in the air for months, and even wipe out civilizations.
Students will be at the controls, under the direction of engineers, to better identify and monitor asteroids that could cause devastation to Earth as the University of Colorado Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics embarks on the Sentinel Mission. LASP's role will be to conduct mission operations and data processing for the Sentinel Mission -- the first privately funded deep-space mission -- to spot near-Earth objects that could be in a dangerous trajectory with Earth.
LASP students and engineers currently operate four NASA spacecraft, including the AIM, Kepler, SORCE, and QuikSCAT missions, as well as 14 space science instruments. Over the past decade-and-a-half, LASP has been responsible for operating more than 30 spacecraft and instruments.
"Our 15-year record of continuous spacecraft mission operations is unique among universities," said Bill Possel, director of LASP Mission Operations and Data Systems. "Over that time, we have provided excellent operations for our partners while at the same time training the next generation of space professionals."
Work on the Sentinel Mission will begin early in 2013, with a launch date slated for 2016 or 2017. For more information visit http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/blog/2012/06/28/lasp-to-operate-private-mission-to-map-hazardous-asteroids/.

The basic postpartum diet is a simple but healthy and wholesome one. It can best be summed up by the following guidelines:
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
When you are pregnant, the developing fetus requires large amounts of two specific fatty acids, arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), to build brain and nerve cell membranes. Once a baby reaches about six months of age, his or her body will be able to make DHA and AA from other fatty acids, but while still in utero and in the first six months of life, these fats must be supplied in exact form by the mother's body first through the placenta, then through breast milk. More than half of the nerve connections in baby's brain form during the first year of life, and the integrity of these connections is dependent upon the fatty acid supply from the mother. Ideally, mother's milk supplies DHA and AA to her baby through nursing for at least a year.
The fats you eat are transformed into hormonelike messenger molecules called prostaglandins, and how the balance of essential fats in your diet dictates the balance of prostaglandins in your body. These fats are also needed for proper brain and nervous system function in people of all ages, but are needed more than ever during gestation and in your baby's infancy, when those systems are undergoing their fastest period of growth.
The omega-3 fat docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, is the most important structural and cognitive (brain-function-related) fat for your brain and for your baby's brain. The placenta draws DHA from the mother's body like a vacuum cleaner, and the milk ducts continue to drain her stores for as long as her baby nurses. If you do not keep replenishing your supply, your emotional and physical well-being will most likely be compromised in the postpartum period and beyond.
The research of Dr. Joseph Hibbeln, a psychiatrist, lipid biologist, and senior clinical investigator with the Section of Nutritional Neuroscience at the National Institute on Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse's Laboratory of Membrane Biochemistry and Biophysics, beautifully illustrates the connection between omega-3 lack and postpartum depression. Dr. Hibbeln examined fish consumption and the incidence of postpartum depression (PPD) in several countries, and found that the more fish women ate, the less likely they were to develop PPD.
Other research has shown that with each successive pregnancy, blood levels of DHA fall further, and that this dramatically increases a woman's risk of pregnancy complications. This is why it is especially important to build up your reserves of these good oils if you are thinking of having another child. Pregnant mothers with the lowest levels of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), another important fatty acid, in their red blood cells are nearly eight times more likely to develop preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy characterized by elevated blood pressure, than are women with the highest levels of DHA and EPA.
Vegetarian women tend to have much lower levels of DHA than nonvegetarians, and may have more pregnancy complications because of this deficiency. Women who are deficient in EPA and DHA have a sixfold greater risk of developing serious mental disorders such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this risk remains higher for two years after giving birth. Vegetarian mothers can get DHA from some of the algae-based products designed with them in mind.
Babies and toddlers score higher on tests of intelligence and visual acuity if their mothers ate fish a few times weekly during pregnancy. Breastfed babies, who get a lot more DHA from mother's milk than their bottle-fed counterparts get from formula, also do better on intelligence and vision tests, and they are less vulnerable to attention deficit disorders and other behavioral and learning problems.
If you eat the typical Western diet, you were probably already depleted of DHA and EPA when you became pregnant. Your baby's body drew on your omega-3 stores to build its brain, nervous system, and cell membranes, and left you even more depleted. There is good scientific evidence that a lack of omega-3 fats passes from generation to generation; if your mother did not pass much on to you, your body has fewer stores to draw from during your own pregnancy, and if you have a daughter, her body could have even less of these essential fats to fortify her own offspring. It is therefore essential to replenish your omega-3 reserves.
Fish is the best natural source of DHA. Not all fish are good sources of this fatty acid and EPA. Fish that live in deep, cold waters, such as salmon, cod, sardines, anchovies, albacore tuna, herring, and mackerel, are your best sources of these essential fats. Because fish, like every other creature on the planet, contain toxins that come from the foods they eat, limit fish consumption to three times a week. Avoid swordfish, shark, and tilefish entirely when you are pregnant or nursing, because these species tend to retain higher levels of toxins in their flesh. Some nutritionists recommend farmed fish over wild fish to avoid toxins, but farmed fish are generally fed foods high in unsaturated oils such as soy and corn, so their DHA levels are lower. The best answer is probably to try to vary the type of fish you eat, alternating between farm-raised and wild-caught fish.
We recommend eating high-DHA omega-3 eggs. These eggs are laid by chickens fed a vegetarian, DHA-rich diet with algae added to their food. They are a great source of this essential fat, especially for women who don't like fish. (Although we are not aware of any studies on the intelligence and visual acuity of the chickens that lay omega-3 eggs, it is likely that they and their offspring are sharper than the average clucker!) Omega-3 eggs also contain six times more of the antioxidant vitamin E than other eggs.
We also recommend taking EFA supplements throughout pregnancy, nursing, and beyond.
Flaxseed oil, which is high in another omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is widely touted as an ideal omega-3 supplement for those who would rather not eat fish. ALA is indeed similar in structure to DHA and EPA, but the ALA molecule is slightly shorter in length causing it to be termed a short-chain omega-3 than these other two long-chain omega-3s. Thus, in order for ALA to be made into "good" prostaglandins or to build nervous-system tissues and cell membranes that function optimally, it must be transformed into EPA or DHA. Some research shows that this transformation can fulfill the body's EPA and DHA needs adequately, while other research casts doubt upon the body's ability to transform enough ALA to meet its needs.
The scientific jury is still out on this one, but after looking at hundreds of blood tests for fatty acid levels, we feel the best way to ensure that your DHA and EPA levels are sufficient is to eat foods that contain DHA and EPA. If you want a vegetarian supplement of these oils, seek out the ones made from algae. That is where the fish get their long-chain omega-3s. ALA can be a valuable addition to the diet, helping to balance out skewed omega-3 to omega-6 ratios.
We do not recommend that you use a lot of flaxseed oil to supply your diet with ALA. Flaxseed oil is one the least stable oils known. In other words, it spoils easily and goes rancid. If you eat rancid oil, you are ingesting toxic free radicals that have to be soaked up by your antioxidant stores, leaving fewer antioxidants to control the rest of the free radicals that are constantly forming throughout your body. Walnuts and pumpkinseeds are other good sources of ALA.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Omega-6 fats have a different structure from the omega-3s, and when they are incorporated into cell membranes, they subtly alter the membrane's structure and activity.
It is true that mother's milk is the best source of omega-3s for babies, but the amount of these EFAs in breast milk varies widely depending on the mother's diet. Inuit women, who eat fish and seal meat daily, have a ratio of omega-6 to long-chain omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA) of about 4:1. At the same time, one study showed that the average American woman's milk contains these fats in a ratio of 175:1! If the omega-6/omega-3 ratio becomes skewed in this way, an imbalance of prostaglandin production results, increasing your vulnerability to allergies, autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, joint pain, and other problems. By cutting down on omega-6 fats in particular, linoleic acid from processed vegetable, nut, and seed oils and boosting your intake of omega-3s, you can supply your baby and yourself with a more ideal ratio of these fats.
Corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and cottonseed oil all contain plentiful amounts of linoleic acid (LA), one of the omega-6 fats. These oils are found in a great many processed foods, and it is the rare Westerner who does not get plenty of linoleic acid every day. Worse, these oils are usually hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated to make them solid instead of liquid. This process alters the molecular composition of the fatty acids so that they are inflexible. Over time, these inflexible fats are incorporated into cell membranes, compromising the cells' ability to bring in needed substances and flush out wastes. Hydrogenated fats also contribute to an increasing burden of "bad" prostaglandins. The fatty acids in hydrogenated oils are known as trans fats or trans-fatty acids, and they pass right into your breast milk and into your baby's body. Read labels carefully; if you see the words hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated on a label, put the product back on the shelf. Be forewarned: You will find hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils in just about every type of processed food, including cookies, crackers, frozen foods, margarine, potato and corn chips, pies, pastries, salad dressings, and soups.
It is unlikely that your health will be improved if you add more foods containing linoleic acid to your diet. Supplemental black currant seed, borage, and evening primrose seed oils, however, contain a specific omega-6 fat, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), that is scarce in food. The most significant food source of GLA is oatmeal. This fat has been demonstrated to be helpful for relief from attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, depression, and mood swings. GLA can be transformed in the body into an anti-inflammatory, brain-supporting prostaglandin called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1).
Essential Fatty Acid Analysis
The essential fatty acid analysis is one of the most useful tests of nutritional status. It gives a clear picture of the amounts and ratios of many key fats found in an individual's blood and tissues.
No doubt you can see why we favor evaluating the fatty acid reserves of any woman who is pregnant or is contemplating pregnancy, and why we often do so postpartum. In fact, the majority of patients we see have significant fatty-acid imbalances. This is largely due to the widespread use of vegetable oils in cooking, as well as the processing of oils to eliminate or reduce the amount of easily spoiled, stronger-tasting omega-3s. Most of our patients are notably deficient in the omega-3 fats DHA, EPA, ALA, and GLA, and have too much of other, less healthy, more inflammatory saturated and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (like arachidonic acid, or AA) in their blood and tissues. When the levels of all of these types of fats are brought into balance, both through diet and the use of supplements, many patients experience relief from pain, depression, and mood swings.
Eat Whole, Preferably Organic, Foods
To ensure that you are getting plenty of the nutrients that help build your baby's body and maintain your own health, eat a well-rounded whole foods diet throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Whole foods have undergone little or no processing before they arrive on your plate; they are as close as possible to the way nature made them. In general, whole foods are found around the outer edges of the supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables, bulk foods, some dairy foods (those that have undergone the least processing, such as butter, soft and hard cheeses, and unsweetened yogurt), and meats are whole foods. Whole foods do not contain "empty calories." Every calorie is accompanied by vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. During pregnancy and nursing, you are indeed eating for two, and the more nutrient-dense and wholesome your diet is, the healthier you and your baby will be.
If a food comes in a package and the label lists ingredients you do not immediately recognize, it isn't a whole food. The presence of added preservatives, dyes, sugars, flavorings, and oils generally means that something has been processed enough to require extra flavor or improved texture or color. Artificial preservatives generally mean that the natural preservatives antioxidant vitamins have been processed out. It is fine to use some time-savers, such as canned beans and frozen vegetables, but generally, the fresher your food is, the better.
Become a label-reader. If you need an advanced degree in chemistry to decipher the label on a food product, put it back on the shelf. Do you like strawberry ice cream? On the label of one brand we looked at, we found forty-three ingredients, including substances called amyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid, cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate, cognac essential oil, diacetyl, dipropyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, and ethyl heptanoate. And you thought all you needed to make strawberry ice cream was cream, strawberries, and sugar!
The truth about food additives such as artificial flavorings is that, in most cases, we do not know whether these ingredients can cause harm or how they interact with one another in the body. There are hundreds of additives that are commonly used in processed foods. However, when their safety is evaluated, they are studied individually (in rodents, not in humans) and for no longer than two years at a time. Such tests cannot possibly take into account how all of these chemicals interact in the human body over a lifetime of use. Neither do they take into account how they might change during the cooking or further processing of foods that contain them. If you would rather be safe than sorry, it makes sense to minimize the amounts of such substances present in your diet.
When you eat meat, eggs, or dairy products, choose organic, free-range varieties. These are more nutritious because the animals that produced them are better nourished, and they are relatively free of the pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones that contaminate conventionally raised varieties of these foods. Wild fish and game and range-fed livestock, which have fed on omega-3 rich plants, are much higher in the important omega-3 fatty acids than are conventional, farm-raised fish or grain-fed livestock.
You are also much better off with organic vegetables and grains. They taste better and are more nutrient-dense because they are grown in healthier soil that is richer in minerals. If for some reason you cannot purchase the organic versions of all types of foods, however, it is more important to buy organically produced animal-based foods. Toxins are much more highly concentrated in these than in plant foods.
Avoid Refined Sugars and Flour
Women who are able to dramatically reduce their consumption of refined sugars and flour find that their mood swings even out and their excess weight comes off. Not only will this shift in eating habits create room in your diet for whole foods especially vegetables but it will go a long way toward establishing blood-sugar and insulin balance.
All pregnant women tend to become slightly insulin resistant. Insulin is a hormone that carries sugar into the body's cells to be burned for energy. Insulin resistance means that the cells no longer heed insulin's message as well as they once did. When insulin resistance sets in, the body begins to boost insulin production to try to force the cells to hear its message and respond. As the insides of the cells clamor for energy in the form of blood sugar, more and more insulin is released to try to meet their needs. You might compare this to trying to talk to your normally sensitive and receptive partner while he is watching a favorite program on television you may have to yell or put your body between him and the TV set in order to get your message across. Similarly, your body turns up the "volume" by increasing its production of insulin. This may get the message across for a while, but if you do not change your diet, it will not work for long. Insulin resistance can be the root cause of the deep fatigue many women feel postpartum.
While many women's levels of blood sugar and insulin ultimately return to normal after they give birth, some pregnant women go on to develop gestational diabetes, and some continue to be insulin resistant postpartum. Others are never diagnosed with gestational diabetes, but do have subtle, ongoing blood sugar imbalances postpartum. This is what happened to Patty, and correcting the problem with dietary changes did wonders for her health.
Whenever you eat foods containing carbohydrates groups of sugar molecules bound together by chemical bonds your pancreas, a small organ located near the opening of your small intestines, releases insulin into the bloodstream. Eating lots of rapidly digested carbohydrates stimulates a strong, quick release of insulin, while eating moderate amounts of slowly digested carbohydrates stimulates a gradual, moderate insulin release. Carbohydrates that have had much of the fiber, oils, and nutrients processed out are referred to as simple (or refined) carbohydrates. Those that are closer to the form in which nature made them are complex (or unrefined) carbohydrates. The simpler the carbohydrate, the faster it is digested, and the stronger the insulin response it elicits.
The carbohydrates found in whole grains are complex. A wheat berry, for example, is a source of complex carbohydrates and is a whole food. So is brown rice. Your digestive tract has to process the fiber, protein, and essential fats that package the carbohydrates in these foods. Then enzymes dissolve the bonds between the sugar molecules so that they can be absorbed into your bloodstream through the wall of your small intestines and used as cellular fuel. The absorption of carbohydrates from whole foods is gradual, and so is the rise in blood sugar and insulin that follows.
Refined Sugar
Sucrose, or table sugar, is a simple carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates are, in essence, predigested processing has removed most of the components of the food as it is found in nature, just as your digestive tract is designed to do. This allows the carbohydrates to break down into sugars almost immediately, and to pass right into your bloodstream with little additional processing by the enzymes in your small intestine. After a snack of simple carbohydrates, the pancreas gets a strong, sudden message that a whole lot of sugar has just hit the bloodstream, and it pumps out a lot of insulin to bring blood sugar levels back down. If this happens over and over again, day in and day out, you are setting yourself up for insulin resistance, mood swings, and fatigue. Insulin resistance tends to raise levels of blood fats known as triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar. Chronically increased levels of these substances can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and a host of other degenerative disorders.
It is wise to read labels carefully and do all you can to avoid foods that contain refined sugars. These can hide out in otherwise nutritious foods. For example, plain yogurt made with live cultures is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and "friendly" bacteria that support digestive health, but low-fat and fruit-added versions usually are loaded with several teaspoons of sugar. Be aware that sugars show up on labels under many different names, including sucrose, maltodextrin, and high-fructose corn syrup. A twelve-ounce can of soda pop has an average of ten to twelve teaspoons of sugar. It is liquid candy!
Incidentally, it is not a good idea to try to avoid sugar by using artificial sweeteners like aspartame (also sold under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet), saccharin (Sweet 'N Low), and the newer acesulfame-K (Sunette, Sweet 'n Safe, Sweet One). Fake sweeteners do not help you to lose weight or kick your sugar habit, and some of them are known to have adverse effects on brain cells. They whet your taste for sugar without satisfying your body's need for nourishment. Aspartame is an excitotoxin, which means that it overexcites brain cells to the point where they literally can die. Chronic headaches, seizures, and brain tumors have been linked with aspartame use. Do not expose yourself or your baby to this chemical.
Americans consume a tremendous quantity of artificial sweetener in the form of diet sodas. In addition to containing artificial sweeteners, diet sodas also contain the same load of inorganic phosphorus that regular sodas do, which means that they can throw off your calcium and magnesium balance. We predict that a whole generation of soda-guzzling teens and young adults may well be headed for osteoporosis in their twilight years because of the bone-eroding effects of excess phosphoric acid. The average cola drink is 100,000 times more acidic than the human bloodstream should be, having a a pH of 2 rather than 7. It therefore takes about ten gallons of water to neutralize one can of soda. To bring the blood pH back into balance, the body will rob alkaline minerals from anywhere it can get them, including bone.
Refined Flour
Refined flour the kind used to make fluffy breads, many breakfast cereals, pretzels, bagels, muffins, cookies, and pasta is only slightly better for you than sugar. It contains carbohydrates that take a little bit longer to break down than those in pure sugar. Still, it is essentially predigested and causes a big jump in blood sugar. That is why a bagel with jam in the morning only tides you over for an hour or two your blood sugar soars, then crashes, and you probably find yourself craving more carbohydrates before lunchtime.
If you are trying to lose weight, refined flour products can get you into big trouble because they are highly calorically dense but not very filling. How many times have you polished off several slices of bread in a restaurant before your dinner arrived? By the time you dig in to the main course, you have already had 500 calories' worth of flour and if you have been slathering butter all over each piece, you are looking at closer to 1,000 calories. The calories your body does not need go right into fat storage, and your blood sugars rise and crash much as they would if you had eaten sugar. Those calories are about as empty as they come.
In addition, many people have allergies to gluten, a protein found in barley, oats, rye, and wheat, and in the wheat alternatives amaranth and spelt. If you find it difficult to have a single meal without something made from wheat, and you have chronic allergies, asthma, or itchy skin rashes, try replacing these foods with products made from brown rice or buckwheat. There are many gluten-free alternatives available in the average health food market. See if you can stay away from gluten-containing foods for at least two weeks. If you do and then see a notable improvement in your allergic symptoms, you may be sensitive to these foods. You should be able to add some gluten-containing foods back to your diet after a while without provoking a reaction, as long as you don't have them every day. Most conventional physicians still rarely acknowledge any but the most extreme cases of food allergy, but we have seen remarkable improvements in people who ferret out and eliminate allergenic foods from their diets.
Another problem with a diet rich in refined flour is that it can be incredibly constipating. When you made glue for papier-mâché in grade school, what did you use? Flour and water! The same kind of reaction happens in your gastrointestinal tract when you eat lots of wheat that has been stripped of its oils, its nutritious germ, and its fiber.
Women with gestational diabetes are usually placed on a low- to no-carbohydrate diet, which controls insulin and glucose levels well in most cases. Unless you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you can take a more moderate tack eating high-fiber foods such as beans, legumes, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Protein from lean meats, fresh fish, and poultry can help to quell cravings for sweets and refined flour products. (In many instances, cravings for sugar are a sign that your body needs protein.) Intense cravings for sugar can be a sign that the brain's serotonin levels are too low. Finally, sugars and refined flour affect the action of enzymes that orchestrate prostaglandin production. If you eat too much of these foods, your body produces more of the "bad" prostaglandins.
Kicking the Refined Sugar and Flour Habit
Are you daunted by the notion of kicking your sugar and refined flour habit, although you know that you need to? Not sure how to begin? The best way is to do it cold turkey. On your next shopping expedition, pass by the sweet goodies and the white-flour bread and bagels. Instead, select some whole-grain products, or some whole grains from the bulk section of the market. Fill your cart with fresh vegetables and fruit. For at least three days, commit yourself to eating only whole foods. Steam vegetables, bake yams, eat raw salads, and cook beans and brown rice or rolled oats. Use organic butter, olive oil, tamari (soy sauce), and other savory seasonings, and remember to add some protein to each meal in the form of plain organic yogurt, organic cheeses, nuts, seeds, tofu, fish, or free-range poultry or beef. Don't add concentrated sweeteners to anything. If you want something sweet, eat a piece of fresh fruit. You will find that your taste for the really sweet stuff dissipates quickly. Once you get to this point, you can go back to having an occasional sweet or piece of white bread without going overboard.
In general, you can add sweetness to foods with natural sweeteners like maple syrup and honey but use them judiciously, too. For women who cannot seem to kick their refined carbohydrate cravings, or who choose to be vegetarian or vegan, we prescribe a food supplement powder containing amino acids, vitamins, fiber, and the minerals chromium and vanadium.
Eat Foods that Supply Your Body with Antioxidants
Antioxidants are nutrients that help prevent free radicals from building up in your body and causing damage to the proteins and fats that make up your cells. Free radicals are constantly being formed during the metabolic processes that take place in your mitochondria. If your life is in balance and your intake of antioxidants is adequate, you can keep damaging free radicals in check. If you are stressed out, eating poor quality foods, exercising too much or too strenuously, exposed to toxins, or ill, your free-radical burden can build up to levels higher than your antioxidant intake can handle. This is why antioxidant-rich foods are an important part of any diet, especially a diet designed to relieve postpartum complaints and rebuild depleted nutrient stores.
The use of antioxidant supplements in the form of vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene has become commonplace. This is a good thing, but unless you are taking a very sophisticated antioxidant supplement, these isolated nutrients cannot reproduce the beneficial effects of antioxidants in their naturally occurring forms. When you eat an orange or a peach, there is more to the antioxidants in those fruits than there is to a vitamin-C tablet or a vitamin-E capsule probably including benefits that we have yet to discover in the field of nutritional science.
If you eat a diet rich in colorful vegetables and fruits, you are getting lots of naturally occurring plant-based antioxidants. Herbs and spices such as rosemary and turmeric are also wonderful sources of antioxidant nutrients. Rosemary contains several different phytochemicals that studies have shown to be antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Other research has shown that rosemary supports liver detoxification by boosting levels of antioxidant enzymes known as glutathione-S-transferases and quinone reductases and by inhibiting phase I enzymes that convert chemical toxins to more carcinogenic forms. Turmeric is a spice often used in Indian cooking. It also appears as a natural food coloring in mustard and other foods. The spice itself has long been used in Ayurveda, or traditional Indian medicine. It contains a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and antioxidant substance curcumin that raises levels of the important antioxidant glutathione in cells throughout the body. It is especially useful for liver diseases such as hepatitis, but everyone especially those whose detoxification systems have been pushed to their limits by the stresses of pregnancy can benefit from the beneficial effects of curcumin on glutathione levels. Curcumin can also be used in supplement form to help heal inflammatory conditions and to promote recovery from surgery or strenuous exercise. (Childbirth is about as strenuous as exercise gets.)
Eat Slowly and Chew Your Food Thoroughly
Eat your meals slowly and deliberately, chewing each bite thoroughly. It is too easy to get into the habit of scarfing down your food when you do not know how long you will be able to sit and eat before being interrupted by your baby. This contributes to digestive troubles and tends to lead to eating more than you really need. If you eat whole foods and chew them completely, you will be amazed at how much better these foods taste and how quickly you become satiated.
It is important not to let yourself get so famished that you grab whatever edible thing first comes within your reach. If you are going out with your baby, pack some healthy snacks to take along with you. Choose foods that contain a balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Some good ideas include celery or an apple with nut butter, nut and seed trail mix, a cheese or tuna fish sandwich on whole-grain bread with sprouts and tomato, a protein-rich smoothie, or if you are really pressed one of the many commercially available protein bars. These bars should be seen as a last resort because they tend to contain refined sugar and other overly refined ingredients, but they are better than a candy bar or a fluffy white-flour pastry.
Eat a Source of Nutrient-laden Fiber, such as Ground Flaxseeds
While we do not recommend that you ingest significant quantities of flaxseed oil, we do recommend that you add whole flaxseeds to your diet in small amounts. Traditionally known as linseeds, flaxseeds are packed with nutrients and fiber, and contain antioxidants that naturally protect against rancidity. They are one of nature's richest sources of ALA, the omega-3 fatty acid, and they contain a type of fiber that is an excellent source of a short-chain fatty acid called butyrate. Formed in the colon by the action of friendly bacteria on the flaxseed fiber, butyrate is the fuel preferred over any other by the cells of the large intestine (the colon), and is made when the good bowel flora digests fiber. The colon is not just a tube that carries wastes out of your body. It is actually an entire ecosystem, harboring beneficial bacteria that help your system to better absorb nutrients and get rid of toxins. Maintaining colon health becomes much easier if you eat a whole-foods diet, and by including flaxseeds in that diet you give your colon extra support.
Store flaxseeds in a container in your freezer. Grind a small amount (a tablespoon or two) at a time in a coffee grinder and add them to cereals, smoothies, and cooked grain.

@jha1223: You are very welcome! =), enjoy
I downloaded the book with no apparent problems. I'm viewing it with Kindle for PC (I don't have an actual physical Kindle device).
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see any illustrations. I have clicked through, using the right arrow, up to "Adventure III" but all I see is text.
Do I need to do something special to see the illustrations?
Thanks all!
@crowbite The illustrations display fine in both my 'Kindle for PC' and my actual Kindle device. There are a couple of drawings in just the first several pages. Beats me. Maybe there is some option that disables images? shrug
@mikemtn: I know this is a bit late, but I just meant that it might be good to clarify that it's an e-book for Kindle and Kindle apps, not a regular book for those of us that may still prefer paper.

In Lightroom 3, using the metadata filter with one of the columns set to Date in hierarchical mode, I can easily narrow down the date range. I can easily get all photos from 2010, or all October 2010 photos, or all 31 October 2010 photos. But how do I get all photos taken on 31 October regardless of the year? The only way I could find is to manually click on 31 Oct 2010, then Ctrl+Click 31 Oct 2009, Ctrl+Click 31 Oct 2008, and so on. Isn't there a faster way? What if I want all photos between 30 Oct and 2 Nov on any year? Ctrl+clicking all those dates would take forever.
I have not found a direct way to do this, however using a Collection one can come pretty close. Using a Smart Collection one can create multiple rules to define what is included in a collection of images. To create a Smart Collection follow these steps:
You will have to add the rules for all of the years you are looking for to this Smart Collection, but once it is done once you have it for future use.
There are other approaches but this one might be the least cumbersome to create.
Bradford's anser is a good idea, so I accepted his answer. But adding a separate rule for each year in Lightroom takes too many clicks for my taste.
I've found that if I right-click on a smart collection in Lightroom 3 I can choose "export smart collection settings" to save the smart collection's rules into an
The quickest way to make your own smart collection for filtering dates is probably to paste the code below into a text editor, search-and-replace

Benghazi Attack Details Aired
Congressional Panels Meet Behind Closed Doors; Petraeus Set to Testify on Friday
WASHINGTON—Former Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus is expected to appear before Congress Friday for the first time since he resigned last week amid revelations of an extramarital affair, but the hearing will focus solely on matters related to the Sept. 11 U.S. consulate attack in Libya.
His appearance represents the convergence of a pair of controversies engulfing the nation's national security establishment, and Mr. Petraeus plays a central role in both.
Some lawmakers hope that his testimony before the Senate and House intelligence committees will begin to dispel a crop of conspiracy theories surrounding Mr. Petraeus's affair and the consulate attacks in Benghazi, Libya, which claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
"This is a good thing for the country and for the CIA and for Petraeus personally," said Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D., Md.), the top Democrat on the House committee.
Other lawmakers are skeptical, however, of how much new information will come from Mr. Petraeus's appearances, which will follow hours of testimony on Thursday on the attacks from top officials before the same two congressional committees.
Like the hearings planned for Friday, Thursday's were held behind closed doors. But interviews with lawmakers indicated that over several hours, they were given a detailed description of the Sept. 11 assault by intelligence and law enforcement officials. The officials also spent about 30 minutes discussing the investigation that uncovered the Petraeus affair, lawmakers said.
Mr. Ruppersberger said officials described tandem attacks that targeted the U.S. consulate complex and, later, an annex building used by the CIA. The briefings revealed the far greater sophistication of the second attack on the CIA annex, which began hours after the first attack had ended, he said.
The intelligence officials also provided a detailed explanation of conflicting intelligence reports that spurred intense political criticism in the lead-up to last week's presidential election.
Testifying before the House and Senate panels were Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, acting CIA Director Michael Morell, Federal Bureau of Investigation Deputy Director Sean Joyce, State Department Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy and National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) said he left Thursday's hearing convinced the intelligence was inaccurate at times, but hadn't been changed or slanted for political purposes. "I'm confident there was no attempt to mislead either Congress or the administration," he said.
Thursday's hearings also delved into the question of whether administration officials denied requests for additional security measures, an issue that has exposed political divisions over the past several months.
Still, the hearing apparently failed to address why it took so long for intelligence reports to reflect the realization that the consulate attack wasn't preceded by a protest, as was first believed.
"There are still some remaining questions about the course of the intelligence assessment and why certain, better information didn't reach the fore more quickly," Mr. Schiff said.
The CIA's first analysis, prepared on the morning after the attack, said the assault appeared intentional and indicated it didn't appear to stem from a peaceful protest. That analysis also mentioned the possibility of connections to an al Qaeda affiliate.
By the next day, however, the assessment shifted. When Mr. Petraeus briefed lawmakers on Sept. 13 and 14, his briefing papers showed the CIA believed the attack stemmed from a protest. The CIA began receiving new information on Sept. 15 that casted doubt about the protest, but after vetting the intelligence, the agency maintained the assessment that there had been a protest.
The CIA maintained that assessment until Sept. 20, when intelligence officials told counterparts at the White House that it had changed.
It took two more days for that change to be reflected in the briefing provided to President Barack Obama.
Mr. Schiff declined to cite specific details, but he said intelligence agencies received additional conflicting information that muddled the picture. "They continued to refine their assessments," he said. "In some cases, that may have gotten closer to the truth, and in some cases, farther away."
On Thursday, CIA officials said the agency had opened an "exploratory" investigation into Mr. Petraeus's conduct.
"If there are lessons to be learned from this case we'll use them to improve," said CIA spokesman John Tomczyk "But we're not getting ahead of ourselves; an investigation is exploratory and doesn't presuppose any particular outcome."
Another U.S. official said among the issues the CIA would want to examine is whether any of Mr. Petraeus's communications or activities related to the affair posed a risk to agency interests aside from any possible disclosure of classified information. Classified documents were found on the computer of Paula Broadwell, the woman who Mr. Petraeus acknowledged having an affair with. But he told the FBI he did not provide the documents.

Stock Car Chassis Build - The First Step Toward A ChampionshipWritten by on March 1, 2009 The Foundation Of A Championship-Caliber Team Is A Solid Car
It's that time of year, the time when plans are starting to be made for the 2009 season. The upcoming season often has a way of sneaking up on teams, things get busy during the off-season with family and work, and before you know it you have two weeks before the first race of the year. Trust me, the teams that will be contending for championships this coming year have already got a head start. Very rarely will you have a championship-caliber car or team that isn't more than overly prepared for the first race of the year.
Circle Track magazine is widely known around the racing world for providing its readers with beneficial technical articles and being the #1 Source for Advanced Racing Technology. For the 2009 season, Circle Track will be taking on a huge project: to show you, our readers, what it takes to build, race, and maintain a championship-caliber car/team. Since I ran the '08 Hooters Pro Cup season, we opted to stick with the 105-inch wheelbase car. This will give us the versatility to run in a competitive national touring series such as USAR Pro Cup or NASCAR Camping World Series. While that decision will be reported in the coming issue, the goal will be to contend for the championship.
This car will be documented throughout the course of the year, and we will be showing the build from the ground up, appearing in various stories showing its progress. In the next few months after the build is complete, we will be testing the car. We will not only show you how the car ran, but also show the changes we made to the original setup. Much of what we will do with the car will be applicable to many forms of racing. So without further ado, here's the first in a long line of stories surrounding this upcoming season.
The winter for most teams means one thing-getting your equipment ready for the next season. Many teams will have a choice, whether to build a brand-new chassis or to make improvements to the chassis they already have. Our chassis has been a really good car but it was time to get a new one. The chassis was close to 7 years old and has had three different teams call it their own. And trust me, each one of us had hit everything but the lottery with the car.
The foundation of a championship-caliber team is a solid car. That's why we decided to go with a Leavitt chassis. Leavitt Racing Components is one of the top chassis builders in the industry. Its workmanship is second to none, which you will be able to see throughout the build of this car.
I have broken up the building of the chassis into what we accomplished each day we worked on the car. This way, you'll be able to see how the car was built from the ground up and the process it followed to completion.
Built the rear clip for the chassis - I assumed when I arrived at Leavitt Racing Components in Mooresville, N.C., that we would piece the car together on the jig and then pull the chassis off when it was finished. However, what happens is the car is actually built in four steps. We build the rear clip, front clip, and center 'cage before ever going on the jig. And then finally we weld the car together on the jig.
Built the front clip - Just as with the rear clip, the front clip is pieced together on the jig. However, it gets a little more complex, because of the control arm mounting points. If there is any type of bind or resistance in the movement of the control arms, then it will not allow the control arms to travel at a consistent rate once it hits the track.
Built the center section (or 'cage)
Gettin' Jiggy - It's now time to get the car on the jig! We'll take everything we've made up to this point and piece it all together. This includes cutting and placing the framerails as well as centering the front and rear clip with the framerails. We'll attach the front and rear clip to the framerails, we'll attach the crossmember, and of course the truck arm mounting points.
Finishing the Rollcage - It's now time to attach the 'cage to the framerails. One thing we don't want to forget is since we have raised the framerail on the right side, we need to cut the 'cage down on the right rear to ensure that it will sit on the framerails level. In addition, we will attach the secondary lead rail on the inside of framerail.
Getting Closer - With Day six upon us, we now attach the support bars from the 'cage to the front and rear clip. We mount the firewall support struts as well as the shock bungs in the front of the car. Then, we begin the process of checking clearances for the interior sheetmetal.
Pulling it off - The Jig, that is. The car is just about finished. All we need to do is go over the car and make certain we have welded up everything. We don't want anything that is just tacked getting sheetmetal.

The jig where you build the rails for the rear clip serves two purposes, it not only ensures that each rear clip is designed the same, but it also prevents the metal from stretching or warping while the tubing is being heated by the welder.The spring buckets have been set in place on the jig, but Leavitt has given us a new adjustment. We can move the jackscrew side to side by simply changing a slug in the spring bucket, something we had been unable to do on our old car. This will allow us to ensure that the spring is traveling the way we want it to.Once we had the rails built for the rear clip, we placed them in the rear clip jig and started welding them up.This is where we also built the track bar mount. On this particular car, we are planning on running a 9-inch-style rearend. By doing this, we'll not only gain a few horsepower over the quick-change rearend, but we will be able to move the fuel cell forward and closer to the rearend to place more weight right on top of the rearend.Andy Maylish attaches the sway bar tubing. Leavitt chose to use 2.75-inch tubing, I doubt we'll ever use a sway bar that large in the car, but depending on the track we will be running on, I've seen sway bars up to 2.25 being used.Like we stated before, the mounting points for the control arms are extremely crucial. If the bolt is in a bind, then when we hook up the lower control arm it will also be in a bind.This laser-cut plate for the front clip serves two purposes. First, it will protect the center link from dragging the track. Plus, it connects the sway bar tubing to both lower control arms.
The center section includes a lot of tube bending and fabricating work. Here, Steve Leavitt bends the A-post for our 'cage.We have run a center line down the top of the 'cage to make certain that everything lines up perfectly while we are building the 'cage. We will also use this line once we get the car on the jig.Since this 'cage jig has been built, Leavitt has raised the halo bar for added safety. Over time, other series have followed suit and mandated that teams must do the same.The bars are notched using this Mittler-Brothers tube notcher. Doing this ensures a good, proper fit from tube to tube.The finished 'cage, all that's left to do is add a few door plates for the driver side once the car is off the jig.OK, we've cut the framerails and we've got the front and rear clip on the jig. Now it's time to center the clips with the framerails. We do this by running a centerline down the middle of the jig and centering everything with it.This might be the most crucial part of building the car because if your framerails aren't straight, you'll always have difficulty aligning the rearend of the car. Remember, you align the rearend by squaring it to the framerails. *NOTE* Notice how Andy welded two straight bars to the very front and the very rear of the front clip? This will keep the front clip from warping under the extreme heat it will experience. Once we're finished, we'll have to cut those bars back out.Once we have the framerails and the rear clip square, we start on the front clip. To ensure we get our correct wheelbase of 105 inches, per series rules, we have attached a special lower control arm that will locate our wheelbase for us.
Notice the block we put under the right rear framerail. This will increase our chassis ride height on the right rear, but also gives us the room for the exhaust we need to ensure it won't rub out the right side.We have added half of an extra framerail to the left side of the car, which attaches to the crossmember bar. This will give us another weight box for our lead.We're getting a lot closer to being able to pull the car off the jig. Today we run the support bars from the 'cage to the front and rear clips.Before we can weld it up, we need to check the sheetmetal clearance to make certain that we weren't going to run into problems later.With the shock bars in place, all we need to do is mount the shock bungs in the front of the car. The rear shock bungs were installed with the rear clip.

Top 10 Wintertime Neighborhood Games
8 of 11
Snowball Relay
This game is a great way to burn off some extra energy. You'll need two or more teams of equal numbers to play.
Start off by making a "track" in your yard by tamping snow down in a large oval shape. Have each team make a snowball to use as their relay stick.
To play, each player runs around the track, and passes their snowball onto the next player. Continue this until each team member has run around the track. The first team to finish wins.
To make this a little more challenging, try making hurdles along your track by packing mounds of snow for the players to jump over.

Java JRE 7 Certified with Oracle E-Business Suite
By Steven Chan - EBS-Oracle on Dec 11, 2012
Java Runtime Environment 7u10 (a.k.a. JRE 1.7.0_10 build 18) and later updates on the JRE 7 codeline are now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12 Windows-based desktop clients.
What's needed to enable EBS environments for JRE 7?
EBS customers should ensure that they are running JRE 7u10, at minimum, on Windows desktop clients.
Of the compatibility issues identified with JRE 7, the most critical is an issue that prevents E-Business Suite Forms-based products from launching on Windows desktops that are running JRE 7.
Customers can prevent this issue -- and all other JRE 7 compatibility issues -- by ensuring
that they have applied the latest certified patches documented for JRE 7
configurations to their EBS application tier servers. These are summarized here for convenience. If the requirements change over time, please check the Notes for the authoritative list of patches:
- Apply Forms patch 14615390 to EBS 11i environments (Note 125767.1)
- Apply Forms patch 14614795 to EBS 12.0 and 12.1 environments (Note 437878.1)
These patches are compatible with JRE 6 and 7, production ready, and fully-tested with the E-Business Suite. These patches may be applied immediately to all E-Business Suite environments. All other Forms prerequisites documented in the Notes above should also be applied.
Where are the official patch requirements documented?
All patches required for ensuring full compatibility of the E-Business Suite with JRE 7 are documented in these Notes:
For EBS 11i:
- Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i (Note 290807.1)
- Upgrading Developer 6i with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (Note 125767.1)

Worried about the 'mismanaged session cookie' issue?
No need to worry -- it's fixed. To recap: JRE releases 1.6.0_18 through 1.6.0_22 had issues with mismanaging session cookies that affected some users in some circumstances.The fix for those issues was first included in JRE 1.6.0_23. These fixes will carry forward and continue to be fixed in all future JRE releases on the JRE 6 and 7 codelines. In other words, if you wish to avoid the mismanaged session cookie issue, you should apply any release after JRE 1.6.0_22 on the JRE 6 codeline, and JRE 7u10 and later JRE 7 codeline updates.
All JRE 6 and 7 releases are certified with EBS upon release
Our standard policy is that all E-Business Suite customers can apply all
JRE updates to end-user desktops from JRE 1.6.0_03 and later updates on the 1.6 codeline, and from JRE 7u10 and later updates on the JRE 7 codeline. We test
all new JRE 1.6 and JRE 7 releases in parallel with the JRE development process, so
all new JRE 1.6 and 7 releases are considered certified with the E-Business Suite on
the same day that they're released by our Java team.
You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before applying new JRE 1.6 or JRE 7 releases to your EBS users' desktops.
Implications of Java 6 End of Public Updates for EBS Users
The Support Roadmap for Oracle Java is published here:
The latest updates to that page (as of Sept. 19, 2012) state (emphasis added):
Java SE 6 End of Public Updates Notice
After February 2013, Oracle will no longer post updates of Java SE 6 to its public download sites. Existing Java SE 6 downloads already posted as of February 2013 will remain accessible in the Java Archive on Oracle Technology Network. Developers and end-users are encouraged to update to more recent Java SE versions that remain available for public download. For enterprise customers, who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 6 or older versions, long term support is available through Oracle Java SE Support .
What does this mean for Oracle E-Business Suite users?
EBS users fall under the category of "enterprise users" above. Java is an integral part of the Oracle E-Business Suite technology stack, so EBS users will continue to receive Java SE 6 updates after February 2013.
In other words, nothing will change for EBS users after February 2013.
EBS users will continue to receive critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 6. These Java SE 6 updates will be made available to EBS users for the Extended Support periods documented in the Oracle Lifetime Support policy document for Oracle Applications (PDF):
- EBS 11i Extended Support ends November 2013
- EBS 12.0 Extended Support ends January 2015
- EBS 12.1 Extended Support ends December 2018
How can EBS customers obtain Java 6 updates after the public end-of-life?
EBS customers can download Java 6 patches from My Oracle Support. For a complete list of all Java SE patch numbers, see:
- All Java SE Downloads on MOS (Note 1439822.1)
Will EBS users be forced to upgrade to JRE 7 for Windows desktop clients?
No. This upgrade is highly recommended but currently remains optional. JRE 6 will be available to Windows users to run with EBS for the duration of your respective EBS Extended Support period. Updates will be delivered via My Oracle Support, where you can continue to receive critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for JRE 6 desktop clients.Coexistence of JRE 6 and JRE 7 on Windows desktops
The upgrade to JRE 7 is highly recommended for EBS users, but some users may need to run both JRE 6 and 7 on their Windows desktops for reasons unrelated to the E-Business Suite.
Most EBS configurations with IE and Firefox use non-static versioning by default. JRE 7 will be invoked instead of JRE 6 if both are installed on a Windows desktop. For more details, see "Appendix B: Static vs. Non-static Versioning and Set Up Options" in Notes 290807.1 and 393931.1.
Applying Updates to JRE 6 and JRE 7 to Windows desktops
Auto-update will keep JRE 7 up-to-date for Windows users with JRE 7 installed.
Auto-update will only keep JRE 7 up-to-date for Windows users with both JRE 6 and 7 installed.
JRE 6 users are strongly encouraged to apply the latest Critical Patch Updates as soon as possible after each release. The Jave SE CPUs will be available via My Oracle Support. EBS users can find more information about JRE 6 and 7 updates here:
- Information Center: Installation & Configuration for Oracle Java SE (Note 1412103.2)
The dates for future Java SE CPUs can be found on the Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. An RSS feed is available on that site for those who would like to be kept up-to-date.
What will Mac users need?
Oracle will provide updates to JRE 7 for Mac OS X users. EBS users running Macs will need to upgrade to JRE 7 to receive JRE updates.
The certification of Oracle E-Business Suite with JRE 7 for Mac-based desktop clients accessing EBS Forms-based content is underway. Mac users waiting for that certification may find this article useful:

It's The Wootoff's 8th Birthday! - What is your favorite Wootoff moment?
The first Wootoff was held October 8th, 2004. What is you favorite Wootoff memory? I would have to say that mine was acquiring my first BOC just before Christmas 2008, what excitement and anticipation! Multiple Sansa's that I still use regularly!
21 Answers answer
Honestly, the bacon casket still makes me chuckle, but I've been following them so long they all blur together.
Happy birthday, woot-off!
The one that was during my very first week of work at woot.
My favorite Woot-off moment will be when they return to their old server-crashing ways.
@okham: BEST...MOMENT...EVER!
The one where folks claim it was the BEST WOOT-OFF EVER!!
(I'm pretty sure it was all a dream ...)
Snagging a Creative Zen Plus at the end of a woot off.
The ones where I do not have to work all day so I can play!
I really enjoyed the BOC setup that threepiecewoot ran. When you were lucky enough to purchase one you always played the guessing game and hoped that if you got a light box it was because you were getting the letter. After you received your BOC you would go to the forums and report in what you got and keep an eye open for the lucky few that got the letters hoping that those who received them would check in and say they would tell of the results letting everyone enjoy in the spoils that would arrive. Great items or car wax everyone had fun. I miss those days and the outstanding program threepiecewoot ran.
I miss being able to buy cheap Sansas as gifts.
my favorite moment was when I finally got through and was able to purchase a BoC
Last months map fiasco was pretty funny
My favorite was when truly absurd, cheap items showed up in small quantities. Such as the usb pole dancer. It was those sorts of items, even if I wouldn't buy one, that kept me interested in the woot off.
I just wish I could get a BOC. Been here for 5 years and the closest I ever got was the checkout screen. My favorite moment is all the fun screaming monkeys!
The time I got my one and only BOC was great not just because I got one but because I was able to get in three additional times the woot-off. Of course they wouldn't let me buy more than one but I tried!
My first BOC. You always remember your first, you know.
My favorite woot-off was in April 2012; it's the only time I've ever stayed up all night during the wootoff. @thunderthighs made a leakfrog meme-gif; @cowboydann was there; I can't remember who else, but it was epically enjoyable.
Worth noting that I hadn't slept in a week due to pain and had been given narcotics earlier in the day for only the second time in my life... the following week, it was interesting to see what showed up on my doorstep! :)
That April fools day with all the batteries.
Also, that time everybody got all pissed off about the crapbeard game, that was hilarious
I don't have one...yet.
I won a BOC during the April Fool's game a couple of years ago, last one I was able to get.
Happy birthday wootoff!
Although it's final form is effectively banned, I actually miss the occasional spamming of the threads with loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong cat.
That and my first and only Sansa. It was one of those super small capacity ones, like a 1GB and had a Lego Guy next to it. I really wish those were still around. My original one still works, but I almost wish that I had bought more than one.

I understand why cyclists shave their legs. I shave my legs. But as of recently have felt kind of funny that my legs are smooth and my arms are hairy. Is there a reason why we don't shave our arms too? Or are you supposed to shave both?

For cycling, there are only a few reasons to shave:
There are some sports where shaving is done for performance purposes (chiefly swimming), but anyone that tells you that in cycling is fooling themselves. My personal experience is that crash scars heal better and are less visible when shaved, but that may be an individual thing.
That's quite strange thing to "understand".
There's absolutely no bicycle-specific requirements to shave anything. Most people involved with sports (any sports) will do some shaving from time to time for various reasons. One of the leading reasons for shaving is the simple fact that a layer of body hair present under a layer of clothing significantly impairs ventilation and cooling. Because of that people involved with sports might prefer to shave the covered parts of their body. I'd say that for people living is hot/warm climate and practicing strenuous sport activities shaving the upper body is a must for this reason alone.
Also, having a layer of hair under modern sport clothing might also look bad from the aesthetic point of view simply because long body hair often tens to poke through the fabric and become visible on the outside, creating a weird "hairy jersey" effect (applies both to jerseys and tight shorts, in case of cycling).
As for shaving any body parts not covered by clothing... there's no real reason to do that, at least for ventilation/cooling purposes.

I know that there are two most important directions of genetic information transfer in living organisms: DNA->DNA and DNA->RNA. The first is replication, and the second is transcription. I wonder if there is a reason for this choice of directions. According to this article, all other directions are possible. Why do we use DNA for example? RNA is capable of self-replication since it happens in viruses. And why do we use RNA, not DNA, as messenger molecules? Is it just an accident or is it possible to explain why this is the right way of doing it?
DNA is more chemically stable than RNA, which makes it ideal for long-term storage. RNA viruses like HIV have a short lifespan and must replicate to survive, which is why they can get by with a less chemically stable genome.
RNA is a useful format to transcribe since it has multiple forms and functions (e.g. rRNA, mRNA, tRNA, siRNA, snRNA, miRNA, etc.). RNA can sometimes function like a protein in which it carries out cellular actions without needing to be translated. It has been hypothesized that RNA were the first molecules as precursors to life since they can function for both storage and action. The theory is that RNA was the first molecule but was then able to be translated into proteins (which were more variable/useful) and able to be stored as DNA (which was more stable as a storage medium).
If you had a complex life form which used only DNA or RNA, it would have no way to tell transcribed mXNA from genomic gXNA. This would cause problems during cellar replication, as you could also replicate your mXNA along with your gXNA. It would also cause problems repairing breaks in your gXNA, as you would run the risk of including mXNA during the repair process.
Therefore it seems advantageous to have a storage system for information which is not currently being translated into protein (i.e., DNA), as compared to just having RNA.
On the other hand a completely DNA organism would need RNA for functional ribosomes anyway. If RNA is being used for ribosomes, using it for mRNA as well to avoid confusion with genomic DNA seems advantageous.
In order to test this hypothesis, you would need to create a completely RNA/DNA based lifeform and investigate its properties. Short of starting life from scratch as RNA based and monitoring its evolution over a few million years, a conclusive proof as to why things are the way they are as opposed to being down to an evolutionary historical accident is difficult to obtain!

My company is going on a trip to Park City, Utah in the beginning of July, Fourth of July and afterwards. What are the tourist type things like museums or photography ops to check out within a 30 to 45 minute radius of the area? I know we will do some sort of firework display just don't know what yet. We will be there a week so I have about 8 or so days to play with.
Two major notable features of Park City and nearby Salt Lake City are it being the headquarters of the Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon Church) and the 2002 Winter Olympics. I can't recall off the top of my head whether their Olympic Museum is in Park City or Salt Lake City.
The LDS definitely have places you can visit, even (especially?) if you're not a Mormon yet.
Aussies, who'll recall 2002 as the Olympics as the one where we won our first winter gold when all four of Steven Bradbury's competitors fell over, and where Alisa Camplin won gold a few days later, will notice a few mentions of Aussie competitors in their Olympic museum.
For something to photograph: check if there's any ski jumping competions on that weekend. Yes, it's the middle of summer, but I saw a women's ski jumping competition during September 2007.

Columbia College to recognize Gene & Fran Koepke Oct. 16
On Saturday, October 16 at 1:30 p.m., Columbia College will recognize Cougar Club founding members Gene and Fran Koepke for a generous gift. A special dedication ceremony will take place during Columbia College Family Day/Homecoming weekend naming the new fitness facility the Gene and Fran Koepke Fitness Center.
"We are truly grateful and appreciate very much the Koepke's loyalty and depth of support not only for our athletic program but for the college as a whole," said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College. "The Koepke family were key players in developing the Cougar Club and are continually seen courtside cheering for the Cougars."
In addition to the Cougar Club & Scholarship Fund that supports student-athlete excellence across all Columbia College sports, including men's and women's basketball, men's soccer, women's volleyball and softball, they are on the Columbia College Athletic Hall of Fame committee, Cougar Club steering committee and are members of the institution's President's Society - Charter Circle.
In 1996, the Koepkes received the Athletic Director's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cougar Athletics and were 2006 and 2007 honorary coaches for the NAIA Volleyball tournament. The couple was inducted into the Columbia College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008 and Gene was made an honorary basketball coach in 2009, when the Cougars played for the national championship.
Fran Koepke is the daughter of the late trustee emeritus, J.W. ("Stan") and Lois Stafford, among Columbia College's largest contributors. The Stafford family were the lead contributors to the Southwell Complex and their name can be found on the college's library. Fran graduated from Capital Business College in 1969, where she met Gene. Gene worked for the Department of Corrections for 10 years before joining Fran at her family-owned business, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Columbia, Inc. Gene and Fran have two children, Laura and Mark.
Columbia College, a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates more than 29,000 students each year and has more than 64,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

I am building a Facebook application, and using the oAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication/authorization.
When a user first visits my app I am using the protocol and store the access token in order to make future requests to the Graph API. The problem occurs when the access token expires and the user is using ajax.
When the ajax request is sent I try to retrieve information from the Graph API using the access token, but since it expired I get a JSON saying the access token is invalid. Now, I can send a response back to the client saying the access token expired and on the client side I can redirect him to https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth to go through the authentication process again. However, since the whole process is in Ajax, redirecting the user will hurt the usability of the application.
Is there any other way I can use the protocol to get a new access token without needing to redirect the user's browser to get a new access token? Maybe something on the server side?

I get my NN5L this week and Ive starded to take some shots, but I still see some parallax errors > not too much as before, but still some. Im using Canon EOS 400D + 18-55mm EF-S which is a rubbish. Lower Rail is 47mm and Upper Rail is 89mm according to a official Nodal Ninja settings, which can be found here : http://www.nodalninja.com/nn_settings.html
Im not use about Lower Rail setting, because If I put it on 47mm, the center AF point in my camera is not in the center of NN5L´s "help thing"
My bubble indicator on tripod is in the center and everything seems ok, but the final panorama is in some places wrong. Is this setting ok or Im doing some other mistake ? Im using PTGui.
Sorry for my english and thanks for replys
P.S. I can upload my shots for a spherical panorama if necessary. Lower Rail is set to a 50mm > in this setting the center AF point is in the centerr of NN5Ls "help circle thing" This is how it looks like when I made a panorama without zenith picture (so dont look at it ) http://spangler.cz/temp/re/pano.jpg - you can see there parallax errors
