Reply to: | Name Variations by RachelChristine |
Going by the development of the Hebrew language you are probably right. Sara may be older than Sarah. No vowels were written out in ancient Hebrew (and aren't in modern except children's books and difficult words). But at one point the massorets (the scholars who passed on and watched over the biblical scriptures) were afraid the meaning might get lost on the way and so they added consonants at certain places indicating in fact vowels. A J would mark an I, an Aleph would stand for an A (the Greeks made it an A later), and also an H would be added, where an A was not written out. Like in Sarah.Later the massorets invented a system of little dots and lines to indicate the actual vowels. But usually the additional consonants were kept. (They had a funny name: "mater lectionis" = "mother of reading".) This applies to vocabulary words, with names I'm not sure. (It has nothing to do with the alphabet though.)
Now in the case of Sara/Sarah I don't know. In the bible you will only find Sarah, but in the Greek version of the Hebrew bible there is Sarra with a doubled R (for whatever reason), and the Latin Vulgata kept it that way.

Article Title
How to Investigate the Grammar of Aspect-Perception: A Question in Wittgensteinian Method
© 2012 Reshef Agam-Segal
I argue that the typical Wittgensteinian method of philosophical investigation cannot help elucidate the grammar of aspect-seeing. In the typical Wittgensteinian method, we examine meaning in use: We practice language, and note the logical ramifications. I argue that the effectiveness of this method is hindered in the case of aspect-seeing by the fact that aspect-seeing involves an aberrant activity of seeing: Whereas it is normally nonsense to say that we choose what to see (decide to see the White House red, for instance), it is possible to see aspects at will—e.g. to decide to see Jastrow's duck-rabbit as a duck. I suggest an alternative method of investigation, one that reflects on language from a disengaged standpoint: a method that allows us to entertain a form of conceptualization of an object but does not commit us to adopting that way—namely, that does not involve us in a use of the object according to the norms that govern that conceptualization. This method, I argue, fits the subject matter of aspect-perception, since aspect-perception itself involves such a disengaged form of reflection.

Save Lives, Train Midwives
In the world's poorest countries, childbirth remains perilous for both mother and baby. Nearly 300,000 women a year die during pregnancy or delivery, and 5.5 million infants are stillborn or die within a month. The presence of a skilled birth attendant could prevent most of these deaths.
That person need not be an obstetrician. In fact, it's better if he or she isn't: In the majority of cases, a midwife can do the job at least as well, at a fraction of the cost.
Doubling the number of midwives in 58 developing countries would reduce maternal, fetal and infant deaths by 34 percent, new research suggests. And the cost of saving each of those lives would be only about $2,200 -- half what it would be if the new attendants were doctors. That would add up to some $5.5 billion a year, which is serious money. But it's not an unfathomable sum, given that wealthy governments, multilateral agencies and foundations already spend $8.7 billion annually on reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health in the developing world, on top of local government and private expenditures.
These findings only add to what health experts have long known about midwives' potential to save lives. And they call for a reprioritizing of the aid dollars spent on maternal and child health.
Investing in midwives, rather than obstetricians only, pays off because just 15 to 20 percent of deliveries involve complications. Midwives can prevent and manage those problems, calling in a doctor when one is required. In addition to delivering babies, they are trained to screen pregnant women for conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, manipulate a baby to reverse a breech presentation, and treat infections, among other things. They cannot give blood transfusions or do cesarean sections.
The latter limitation can be a plus, given the health risks to women and babies of unnecessary C-sections, which can result from pressure from doctors.
Midwives can be trained in two years, they're less expensive to employ than doctors, and they're often more willing to work in their home communities, providing care even in remote areas. They can protect public health even more if they also dispense contraceptives, because fewer pregnancies mean fewer related risks.
Expanding midwife capacity can be done pretty quickly in a poor country, as Afghanistan's experience shows. In 2002, the year after the Taliban were deposed, only 467 midwives practiced there, and maternal mortality reached 2,200 deaths per 100,000 births. A partnership between the Ministry of Public Health and the nonprofit group Jhpiego (funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the World Bank and the European Union) established 32 midwifery schools in 34 provinces. By 2012, Afghanistan had 3,500 midwives, and maternal mortality by the next year had fallen to 400 deaths per 100,000 births.
Afghanistan's system includes a standard curriculum for all midwife schools and a formal accreditation process, based on the standards of the International Confederation of Midwives. This minimizes the risk that quality of midwifery care will lag behind quantity, as it has in Indonesia, Burkina Faso and Morocco.
One shortcoming should be addressed in Afghanistan, however, and in other developing countries that might follow its otherwise strong model: Midwives still lack privileges to prescribe all the medicines they need in their toolkit -- for instance, magnesium sulfate to treat hypertension in pregnancy.
For a reasonable cost, a new battalion of midwives can be trained, regulated and equipped to remove much of the danger in giving birth. Countries and aid organizations should recognize that as a worthy investment.

In honor of American independence, Twitter has released its first ever transparency report. The Twitter Transparency Report includes data from January 1, 2012 through June 1, 2012, and Twitter says it plans to update the information twice a year.
The transparency report is pretty much what it sounds like--Twitter's attempt to be transparent about which governments are requesting information from Twitter, what percentage of those requests produced some or all information, and how many accounts were specified in those requests. Such requests, as Twitter points out, are typically connected with criminal investigations.
Not surprisingly, our very own United States is the nosiest government, with 679 requests in the past six months, targeting almost 1000 user accounts. The United States' requests accounted for 80% of all requests (out of 23 countries). The second nosiest government was Japan, with 98 requests in the past six months, targeting almost 150 user accounts.
Twitter notes that it does not comply with every government request for a variety of reasons. For example, the report states, Twitter does not comply with government requests that do not identify a specific Twitter account, seeks to narrow overly-broad requests, and may not comply with a request if a Twitter user challenges the request after being notified. Twitter says it notifies users of requests for their account information, except when prohibited by law.
Twitter's Transparency Report is at least partially motivated by Google's Transparency Report, which the company has been posting for about two years. In its blog post announcing the report, Twitter notes that the report is "inspired by the great work done by our peers @Google," and that the main goal of the report is to "shed more light on government requests received for user information, government requests received to withhold content, and DMCA takedown notices received from copyright holders."
The Transparency Report also gives information on the number of "formal government requests" Twitter has received to remove or withhold content on Twitter.
This chart shows the number of removal requests by court order and by government agencies, the percentage of instances in which some or all content was removed (0% in every case, during the past six months), and the number of accounts specified. Twitter apparently only received six removal requests in the past six months, which is good news--it means governments are not outright censoring social media (though they may, of course, be secretly censoring it).
The Report also shows the number of copyright takedown notices Twitter received in the past six months:
According to Twitter, the company receives a large number of "misfiled, non-copyright complaints" through its web form, and so does not comply with every request.

Beat the Drones Subaru
I've been waiting for an ad that uses drones – here it is. Pretty cool new ad from Subaru that use heaps of drones to create an obsticle course for the new WRX. The commercial features dozens of flying helicopter drones with red lights that create a continuously changing track as the Subaru drives on. I'm sure we will see many more drone ads this year.
Despite being thrown numerous obstacles, the car's agility and precise handling allow it to successfully navigate the course.
I really like this drone footage from last years pipeline comp.

gfx/image editing professionals are gonna cringe in pain when readin this, but what the heck: I have no clue of gimp and photoshop - I can do a bit of vegas however which is not rly the prog to use for pic editing ... but anyways, I masked out her hair which takes about 5mins and then slapped "secondary color corrector" FX on the hair mask which has a function called "rotate hue" - you just move a bar from 0 to 360 bit by bit and it cycles through the colorspace ... leaving the original shading (relatively ) intact - the light blond one also took another layer with added glow FX - you can see on almost any of them how this amateur tweakin also creates artifacts that look FUGLY - but ...but it is quick XD

Cause I'm responsible for the content at the other end and more then just breasts is in the pic (as mild as that anatomy is shown, I'd rather not risk it), so I could get banned for posting it. Though I will say i found it on Baidu (they can't ban me for that little info and you're smart enough to find it without further guidance. Though if you don't want to hunt for it just ask me for it). I'd risk it if it was just breasts, especially without clear nipples but in this case more anatomy is shown.
I take it you want a copy?

I'm not sure whether to or about it. Which, I suppose, was your objective... knowing you . Though she has a certain sparkle in her eye that I can't quite place , so all is forgiven
I mean the hair being blonde is cannon, and I'm big on cannon... the skin color doesn't bother me except the fact that Blonde wouldn't clash with it well... unless that was the objective. Plus you've proved Miria is always smoking hot, no matter the color. Though I gotta add, way to make yet another MiriaX pic stand out! +rep I've honestly not posted a few I found (that no one else has posted here yet, not sure if they felt the same or no one found them) since I had gotten bored with endless barely ok colorings of it.

i woudn't use baugh. it would reflect poorly on sammy baugh. whom i was trying to figure out why in the world you were referencing BTW.
From my last FB status update: San Francisco vs. Baltimore! An excellent, excellent Superbaugh... Ray Lewis' last stand, the incredible run of Kaepernick, sibling rivalry & Joe Flacco flipping off (for now) all the doubters. Bring on February 3rd! I couldn't be more excited for this Super Bowl... it's a really great match up, one with many (even if some do get overplayed) intriguing & fascinating story lines. Super Bowl XLVII will also mark the 10th straight Super Bowl in which me & my brother will be watching the game at our buddy Brian's house, a tradition I'm so happy we've kept going... I can't ******* wait until February 3rd.
Went to Wikipedia, the murders happened after a SuperBowl XXXIV party in 2000. Ray Lewis and the Ravens went on to win the SuperBowl the following year. Edit: LOL at Belicheat being too much of a sore loser to give CBS an interview.
It's also admirable in my view the respect he's been able to command from so many others in the league over time... not that many players can accomplish such a feat.
Oh no, an NFL coach didn't give a lame, mostly useless tv interview (all of them are annoying)? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Belichick was prepared- he wore a scarf over his mouth so no one could hear him anyway. It's okay, Bill, we know you're always frowning anyway.
First time in 9 seasons we have an AFC rep not the Colts, Pats or Steelers. 2003 Pats 2004 Pats 2005 Steelers 2006 Colts 2007 Pats 2008 Steelers 2009 Colts 2010 Steelers 2011 Pats Pretty incredible. In fact this will be the first Super Bowl I've seen without one of those teams in it.
I don't know about you guys but I'm personally very excited about the forthcoming two solid weeks of featurettes about the Harbaugh brothers' childhood and sanctimonious scriptural treatises from Ray Lewis. It's gonna be great.
Just happy there's fresh blood in the Super Bowl. Nice to see teams that haven't been in awhile get a crack at it. Should be more like that, if you ask me.
Yeah, that's definitely nice. I hadn't really realized it had been only Pats, Steelers, and Colts for so long in the AFC. Yikes.
Not from my perspective. Kind of surprising though since the NFL has the most level playing ground of the three big leagues. Shows you how big it is to draft a franchise quarterback.
Root for a team in the NFC. With the exception of the Giants, it seems like for the last fifteen years, there's been a new team from the NFC in the Super Bowl every year.
Which is so true and what I keep saying. The QB is the second most important single player on a sports team in any US sport, just after the goalie in hockey.
Since Super Bowl XXXI, only 3 NFC franchise's have made multiple appearances in the Super Bowl: Packers (XXXII, XLV), Rams (XXXIV, XXXVI), and Giants (XXXV, XLII, XLVI).
I'd completely forgotten about the Rams going twice when I originally put the fifteen year mark, so more like over the last decade there's only been the Giants that have gone to the Super Bowl more than once.
Vegas opens with the Niners 4.5 point favorites, O/U at 49. I like the Niners by a bit more than that, probably around 10.
Are you kidding me? The use of Roman numerals for each Super Bowl is one of the coolest things about it, as I see it. The logo's used to be great, too: Look at that variety! Some aren't as good as others, but at least some thought was put into them. Now we get this standardized garbage: Completely unimaginative.

Hi all, i'm new to Cocoa and Interface Builder (both on Leopard), so you'll have to excuse me. I'm part way through designing the interface for an application that looks similar to mail.app - by that, I mean an NSOutlineView up the left hand side of the window, and the main content area to right. I've also got a toolbar running across the top of the window. I want to add a mini-toolbar along the bottom of the window. I have seen these referred to as "bottom button bars" or "status bars" across the web. I would appreciate some pointers how to start doing this. e.g. this bar http://forums.finaljustice.co.uk/Picture 1.png) from Mail. I've tried the obvious things - IB doesn't let me add > 1 toolbar to a window. I can't drag a window into another window, either (to try to get the background colour/texture of the panel). So... I created a Custom View along the bottom of the screen, and have written some code so it colours this view's area in a lovely green colour. I've dragged some buttons on top of my Custom View, which render on top - so essentially, this way would work if someone could tell me how I get the View to render the appropriate coloured background**. Unless this is the wrong approach? in which case pointers as to the "correct" method would be appreciated. **By this I mean; what's the best/official/flavour of the week/most standard colour scheme now in Leopard? e.g. As far as I can see, it's between the Finder vs Mail - Finder has a much darker bar along the bottom of the window, whereas Mail has a much lighter one. I am leaning towards the lighter version; either way, I would need to draw this texture/colour into my Custom View. How can I do this? Many thanks for reading and for your help
Yeah, the change from IB 2 to IB 3 is driving me nuts. I'm working my way through Hillegass, and really struggling to make the change. For example, in the discussion of CustomViews, he describes the process of generating the files for the class and then extending them. However, I can't figure out the process in IB 3. The classes tab is gone, so the process has changed pretty significantly. The best I've come up with: 1. Drag a CustomView. 2. From File menu, Write Class Files 3. Go to X Code and manually add the generated files to the project. 4. Inspect the generated header file and realize that it doesn't even extend NSView, so manually add all the "stuff" that used to be generated by IB 2. Clearly I'm doing this incorrectly, but I can't find any guidance regarding the correct approach.
Thanks Devman. I clearly got a bit ahead of myself and skimmed the docs too quickly. Don't know how I managed to miss this.

In the late 1880′s Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse waged "the War of Currents" , each battling to demonstrate the merits and advantages of Edison's Direct Current distribution system and Westinghouse's preffered Alternating Current distribution system.
The quite bizarre antics that followed are the stuff of history now (and some pretty hilarious if dis-tasteful, short films) but Edison would be smiling today if he was still around, despite the proliferation of AC distribution systems.
Why? Because DC distribution is starting to find a new place in the world.
I've got to hand it to China, they don't do anything by halves it seems, and announced on Sunday the 13th of May 2012, that construction had started on the worlds largest Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) power line. Oh, and they started on an second 750kV HVDC one on the same day, just for good measure.
Operating at 800 kV, the system will connect Hami prefecture in eastern Xinjiang with the central city of Zhengzhou, along a 2,210-km-long, $US $3.7B power line and is designed to handle 8million kW of power.
Up-size that, Mr Westinghouse!
What's arguably most interesting are the drivers behind the selection and use of UHVDC . The State Grid Corporation of China claimed: "We can reduce 317,000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and 267,000 tonnes of nitrogen oxide which would otherwise be produced during the transportation," a signal that energy losses are finally being recognised as the low hanging fruit, at least in one part of the world.
By comparison, a 2011 MIT report on the US issues of grid design highlighted just where Australia sits in this regard; ranked the third worst of surveyed countries in energy losses in the following graph (China ranked 7th) . In Australia's case this is equivalent to losses of 6.6TWh of energy in 2009-2010 and roughly the same as the entire annual generation of all of Australia's Hydro generation in the same year; or approximately 5GW of PV.
Secondly, it is the need to efficiently connect and distribute the increasingly prolific solar and wind generation plants in the country's east, to the areas of growing demand. China is confident that time and technology has solved the issue of DC power transformation it seems, (the bug bear of Edison's DC dream) and renewable's fit the bill very nicely.
This is truly ground breaking stuff; it will be fascinating to see how the project pans out and to read the implications for energy distribution at a scale we have never seen before.
Perhaps using the sun to make energy and exporting electrons to our neighbours is closer to reality than we think?

Comments about Dogz Utility Reflective Lead - Black:
I bought two of these leashes, one in blue one in black, for my Pit Bull and Lab mix. They are the perfect length. not too long but DEFINITELY not too short which is why I decided to get them in the first place. They are also very soft and wide enough so they don't cut into your hands when your dog tugs. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs at least three times a day. So far after a good month or two of use,they are still like new! The only Con is the reflective part is only some stitching on one side of the leash. But I don't take my dogs running on busy roads or highways so I don't mind. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.

Comments about Dogz Utility Reflective Lead - Orange:
This is the second Dogz leash I've owned, having lost the last one over the holidays. The build quality is good, but my issue is that the reflective weaving is only on one side. That is a knucklehead move, but it's easily remedied. The leash is a bit long for my taste, so I tied 4 knots toward the end to shorten it. This also makes the reflective threading visible no matter what position the leash is in.

Noskates, I live near Boston, but due to health and so much more, I cannot plan ahead. 200.00 just for gala? What would an all event pass go for at nationals? That is rediculous-why not just say -rich people only- so what are you paying for the tickets or are they included in the package? I am thinking if i'm still here, i want to go, but would need to stay in Boston and the hotels are very expensive. I think NYC has cheaper digs...so I could not go back and forth unless someone drove me. If I am going, and someone wants to drive, i will offer my air mattress-I have a very clean, comfy apt. But I can't make plans so far ahead. I am angry i did not go to Boston nats years ago Being disabled, everything is a big deal...awful.
Please pm me or tell me in thread how much all event tix cost-is nationals over three or 4 days or a whole week? I don't want to see novice or juniors, despite great skating, just too much sitting. What hotels and prices are they offering? I assume you are flying in, but I'd likely have to stay in Boston. Even the plainest unfanciest are rediculous. More info appreciated. TY. Must it bee so expensive? Where does all this money go-certainly not to the skaters. They are pushing people away with such greed.

I have always been fascinated by nature and wildlife especially since most of it can be found in the region where I was born: Caraga, which is located in the northeastern portion of Mindanao. One of the creatures that I find most amazing is the saltwater crocodile scientifically known as Crocodylus porosus.
During my elementary days, my grandmother used to tell the story about how people trapped several crocodiles after a great flood that hit my home city of Butuan back in the 70's. My childhood fascination grew when I actually saw a stuffed 4-feet-long crocodile on display at the back of our neighbor's home! The creature was one of those crocodiles that were caught after the flood.
In 2002, I visited the fishing town of Del Carmen in Siargao Island hoping to shoot some footages of saltwater crocodiles for a documentary project. We failed in our pursuit. Later on, we met some locals who loudly bragged how they killed all the saltwater crocodiles in sight and how they'll continue their 'crusade' if they would ever see more.
So I turned my attention to one of the most ecologically significant wetlands in the Philippines, the Agusan marsh. But back then all I got were tales instead of tails—my fascination was also starting to fade over the years.
When I first heard the news of the capture of a large saltwater crocodile in the town of Bunawan in Agusan del Sur in September of 2011, I wanted to go straight to the scene. But my work and a meager and almost non-existent budget kept me from going there.
The other day, I got the chance to travel to Bunawan. The three-hour drive from Butuan City was worth it. Finally, I was going to see the internationally famous saltwater crocodile.
Six months after the visit of Australian zoologist and crocodile expert Dr. Adam Britton, Lolong was officially certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's biggest crocodile in captivity, measuring from snout-to-tail at 6.17 m (20.24 ft), and weighing approximately 1075 kg (2370 lbs).
I've seen saltwater crocodiles in farms and zoos but the size of Lolong is just simply out of this world. Experts suggest that it is "just 50 years old" and might even grow more than its current size.
If you're hoping to see the crocodile in action, prepare to be disappointed since Lolong does not move that much and spends most of his time basking—the better for the creature to store in more body heat since it is a cold-blooded predator.
Out in the wild, saltwater crocodiles are ambush predators, waiting for their prey for several hours and for the right opportunity before rushing out to attack. As cold-blooded predators, they have a very slow metabolism so they can survive long periods of time without food.
One of Lolong's caretakers, Eutiquiano Aguillon (a.k.a. Loloy), confirmed the crocodile's slow metabolic diet. He shares, "Three times a month, we feed him a variety of beef or pork at around 20 kilos per meal. if we don't feed him according to schedule, then the crocodile would just ignore the food and not eat it."
Town council member Ronald B. Nuer, who headed the Bunawan crocodilus operation project under Mayor Edwin Elorde's direction (Executive Order no.2 Series 2011), pointed out that the local government unit will be embarking on a Php200-million site development project for the Bunawan Eco-Park and Research Center.
"The immediate project right now would be the road construction and repair from the highway leading to the ecopark and creating a pavilion for visitors. Slowly, we are getting money from groups and politicians for the development of the site," said Nuer.
Lolong receives a hundred to a thousand tourists a day, generating a monthly average income of Php200-Php300 thousand a month and sometimes even more.
Besides its majestic attraction, a new development plan for the ecopark will soon incorporate other sustainable features such as a botanical garden, aviary, mammal zoo, camping site, restaurant, pool, and a zip line.

This article is a travel topic Since the 1960s overlanding has been a popular means of travel between destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia (particularly India), the Americas and Australia. The "Hippie Trail" of the 60s and 70s saw thousands of young westerners travelling through the Middle East to India and Nepal.
RailAt 9,288km the Trans-Siberian Railway is one of the longest overland journeys in existence today, taking 7 days to reach Vladivostok from Moscow, and providing an alternative to air travel for journeys between Europe and Asia. The Indian Pacific Railway, completed in 1970, links Sydney and Perth in Australia. Covering 4,343km over 4 days, the railway includes the longest stretch of straight railway line in the world. The introduction of Japan's high speed railway Tōkaidō Shinkansen in 1964 changed to face of rail travel. The railway has carried more than 4 billion passengers and its new N700 series trains are capable of 300km/hr. France's TGV holds the record for the fastest train, with a top speed of more than 500km/hr, making it faster than air travel for many journeys within the country. The Thomas Cook Overseas Timetable [[1]] is the first choice for detailed international rail information. Resources can also be found at the excellent seat 61 website [[2]]. BusThe Silk Route or Silk Road historically connects the Mediterranean with Persia and China. Today the route refers to overland journeys between Europe and China, taking either the northern route - through Russia and Kazakhstan - or the southern route - through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and North India - to Urumqi or Xian in China. These routes are still popular today, with companies such as Oasis Overland [[3]] and Odyssey Overland [[4]] offering tours on the southern route. One of the most common - and longest - overland expeditions is in Africa, connecting Cairo in Egypt with Cape Town in South Africa. The route covers more than 10,000km and usually takes in Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Namibia along the way. Overland operators in these areas include Dragoman [[5]]. Since 2006 a few companies have offered overland expeditions from the UK to Australia. Originated by Exploratory Overland Expeditions [6] in 2006, the expedition is marketed as the longest overland journey available. |

Latest CryoSat Results Revealed
After nearly a year and a half of operations, CryoSat has yielded its first seasonal variation map of Arctic sea-ice thickness. Results from ESA´s ice mission were presented Tuesday at the Royal Society in London.
In June 2011, the first map of Arctic sea-ice thickness was unveiled, using CryoSat data acquired between January and February of that year.
Now, the complete 2010—11 winter season data have been processed to produce a seasonal variation map of sea-ice thickness.This is the first map of its kind generated using data from a radar altimeter at such a high resolution compared to previous satellite measurements.
CryoSat´s altimeter makes precise measurements of its height above the ice by measuring the time interval between the transmission and reception of very short radar pulses.
Readings over the Arctic from October 2010 to March 2011 were processed to map the seasonal formation of floating ice.
ESA and NASA have been collaborating to perform carefully coordinated flights directly under CryoSat´s orbit over the Arctic, gathering data to ensure the accuracy of the satellite measurements.
This first validated CryoSat dataset demonstrates the full potential of this innovative ice mission.
Owing to the high rate of change in the Arctic Ocean, this has a special relevance for climate change research.
Other significant results from this collaborative European mission will be presented and discussed, with perspectives from UK industrial and scientific communities.
This event is being jointly organized by ESA and the UK Space Agency as part of the wider celebration of the 50th anniversary of the UK in space.
The map, along with a full digital elevation model of Greenland and other scientific results from the collaborative European mission, were presented today at the Royal Society in London.
The event was jointly organized by ESA and the UK Space Agency as part of the wider celebration of the 50th anniversary of the UK in space.
"Within the 50th anniversary celebrations of space activities in the UK, we have today seen how the UK has been able to contribute to and lead in the many aspects of ESA´s CryoSat mission," said David Williams, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency.
Director of ESA´s Earth Observation Programs, Volker Liebig, outlined the dramatic effects that climate change has had on the Arctic, and how satellites have been monitoring sea-ice for over 30 years.
"In the coming years, the Arctic will become a very important geo-political region," said Prof. Liebig.
"15 to 20 per cent of the world´s oil and gas reserves are expected there, and we will find shorter shipping routes as the ice melts. Satellites will play and ever-important role in the sustainable management of this sensitive region."
Every year, the Arctic Ocean experiences the seasonal formation and then melting of vast amounts of floating ice. Over the past decade, satellites have seen an acceleration in the rate of overall sea ice loss.
Radars on satellites such as ESA´s CryoSat can acquire high-resolution images through clouds and darkness. This is particularly useful when observing the inaccessible Arctic, which is prone to long periods of bad weather and extended darkness.
In the coming years, CryoSat data will map precise changes in sea-ice thickness year to year, furthering our understanding of the effects that climate change has on the Arctic.
ESA´s SMOS mission is providing complementary information on sea-ice cover and the thickness of thin ice.

White House briefs Dems on implementation strategy -- CBO hikes original estimate -- States join court battle -- Missouri to vote on overhaul
SELLING HEALTH CARE – White House officials on Tuesday night went to Capitol Hill to tout their early progress on implementing the health care overhaul and talk about how members can sell it back home. The message: focus on the early roll-out of tangible benefits and, if all goes as planned, win over a skeptical public more than any rhetoric could. Nancy-Ann DeParle and Stephanie Cutter, from the White House Office of Health Reform, briefed the House Democratic Caucus on the soon-to-be implemented reforms. They focused the conversation on consumer-friendly provisions, including extending coverage for dependents through age 26, implementing high-risk pools for Americans with pre-existing conditions and supplementing insurance for early retirees. The programs all have one thing in common: they set a foundation for Democrats to build a strong entitlement program—one that, once implemented, history suggests will be difficult to knock back. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) also showed lawmakers a new health reform calculator that they could put on their websites, which would allow constituents to see how the new law would impact them. POLITICO story
POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER $115 BILLION IN COSTS – Congressional Budget Office estimates released Tuesday predict the health care overhaul will likely cost about $115 billion more in discretionary spending over ten years than the original cost projections. The additional spending — if approved over the years by Congress — would bring the total estimated cost of the overhaul to over $1 trillion. Republicans pounced on the news, which they called another sign that the Obama administration makes promises it cannot deliver. 'The American people wanted one thing above all from health care reform: lower costs, which Washington Democrats promised, but they did not deliver,' said House Minority Leader John A Boehner (R-Ohio). But a Democratic leadership aide on Capitol Hill said the Congress will have to stay within the budget. 'Just like other authorized programs, the discretionary programs in health reform will need to compete for funds within set budgetary limits,' the aide said. The Congressional Budget Office expects the federal agencies to spend $10 billion to $20 billion over 10 years on administrative costs to implement the overhaul. The CBO expects Congress to spend an additional $105 billion over 10 years to fund discretionary programs in the overhaul. The CBO released the estimates in response to a request from California Rep. Jerry Lewis, ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee. POLITICO story... CBO letter

STATES MOUNT CAMPAIGN AGAINST OVERHAUL – The Washington Post's N.C. Aizenman reports: "Efforts to block a key provision of the new health-care overhaul law are underway in 33 states, as a growing roster of mostly Republican officials have mounted legal and legislative challenges to an eventual requirement that virtually all Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty tax.
"This Friday, seven more states will formally join a lawsuit originally filed by Florida and 12 other states in late March. The suit, filed in a U.S. District Court in Florida, contends that Congress lacks the constitutional authority to mandate an individual's participation in an insurance plan, and that it has infringed on states' rights by requiring them to extend coverage to more low-income residents without fully funding the additional cost. Many constitutional scholars have said the suit has slim chances. But activists say they view the lawsuit as the first of what they hope will be a slew of challenges mounted by state governments, legislatures and individuals, ultimately narrowing the law's scope and possibly unraveling it altogether. 'This is going to be a long, protracted war of attrition and we haven't even seen the first wave of regulations yet,' said Clint Bolick, litigation director of the Goldwater Institute -- an Arizona-based group that is advising state officials."
DEFENDING A "YES" VOTE – Rep. Stanford D. Bishop Jr. (D-Ga.) took the somewhat unusual step of writing a letter to the editor of his local paper to correct misinformation that he says ran in another letter. It contains a lot of the information we already know, but it's an interesting sign of the lengths lawmakers may have to go to correct what they call bad information – or even voting records.
He writes in The (Bainbridge, Ga.) Post-Searchlight: "Billy Smith's May 8th letter to the editor, 'Bill Was Rammed Through,' contains a number of inaccuracies that I would like to correct. First, Mr. Smith said that I voted against the original House health reform bill and then changed my vote to yes on the Senate version at the behest of Speaker Pelosi. I actually voted yes on both the original House measure and the Senate legislation because I believe that it would significantly improve the health and well-being of the citizens of Georgia's 2nd Congressional District. Second, Mr. Smith asks how the health reform law could benefit senior citizens when it cuts billions of dollars from Medicare. The Medicare savings are achieved by limiting excessive profits that private insurance companies are earning off of Medicare Advantage; promoting efficiencies among hospitals, doctors and other providers; encouraging more coordinated care; and fighting waste, abuse and fraud."
PAYING FOR A "YES" VOTE? – Shortly after Rep. Alan Mollohan lost the West Virginia primary last night, the Susan B. Anthony List issued a statement attributing the loss to Mollohan's vote for the overhaul. "Just as Bart Stupak did, Congressman Mollohan now fully realizes that votes do have consequences. Mollohan's loss comes as a direct result of his vote for healthcare reform that included federal funding of abortion," the group's president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, said in a statement. "We promised Rep. Mollohan and the other 'pro-life' Democrats that we would make their re-election incredibly painful if they voted 'yes' on the healthcare bill. Tonight, the Susan B. Anthony List followed through on that promise, and Rep. Mollohan is the second member of that coalition to see those consequences. This should be just another sign to 'pro-life' Democrats that voted for the healthcare bill that they will face the same consequences as Stupak and Mollohan." POLITICO's Alex Isenstadt has the story on Mollohan's loss
WOMEN'S GROUP ON THE HILL – Concerned Women for America, a conservative group, will be on Capitol Hill Wednesday talking about the impact of the health care overhaul on women. "[A] panel moderated by Concerned Women for America will tackle how Obamacare negatively impacts women and families through a marriage penalty, higher taxes for small businesses, Medicare and Medicaid cuts, and military health cuts," according to a release. The panel starts at 10 a.m.
FIRST LADY RELEASES CHILD OBESITY REPORT – The Washington Post's Robin Givhan reports, "In a tremendous show of administration muscle, Cabinet officials Tuesday stood shoulder to shoulder onstage with Michelle Obama to reveal results of the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity: a 124-page report laying out 70 recommendations and a gentle warning that, while the federal government can't solve the obesity epidemic, it is prepared to take action where others don't. The task force, created by the president as part of the first lady's 'Let's Move' campaign, which launched in February, defined success by the numbers: returning this country to a childhood obesity rate of 5 percent by 2030. The current rate is about 20 percent. Members of the task force, chaired by White House domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes, focused their efforts on five areas: prenatal care, empowering parents with nutritional information and community support, getting healthier foods into schools, increasing access to healthy foods in neglected urban and rural neighborhoods, and making sure that all kids are physically active. … In her remarks, the first lady made clear that the report would serve as a full-fledged playbook. 'For the first time -- this is the key -- we're setting really clear goals and benchmarks and measurable outcomes that will help tackle this challenge one step, one family and one child at a time,' she said."
EMPLOYERS NOT EXPECTED TO DROP DEPENDENT COVERAGE – Inside Health Policy's Sam Baker reports: "Employers generally welcomed HHS' interim final rule on providing coverage for dependents up to age 26 -- especially its clarification that making the change early will not affect plans' ability to gain 'grandfathered' status -- but some business groups are still concerned that the breadth of the underlying statute will make the new policy more expensive than supporters might realize. Sources said employers, or at least large employers, are not likely to stop providing coverage for their employees' children, even though HHS said the new eligibility rules could slightly increase premiums. Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health, which represents large employers, said the cost of allowing dependents to stay on their parents' plans through age 26 has been under-appreciated. She also noted that employees will likely be adding thousands of dollars to the value of their coverage at the same time the excise tax on high-cost plans begins to take effect, and she said she is still troubled by the fact that the law does not require a child to be working or enrolled in college in order to remain on a parent's plan."

WEB PORTAL DEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY – Inside Health Policy's Amy Lotven reports: "HHS is planning a two-step launch of a nationwide web portal designed to help consumers purchase individual and small group plans: The department will oversee the initial informational website, slated to go live July 1, and will then contract out the more complex functions to a private vendor – chosen after an open bidding process - in October, an agency official says. HHS has asked insurers to submit information on their plans by May 21 to help in the development of the website, which will eventually include detailed pricing and benefit information. 'The July 1 web portal will contain educational information on coverage and information about consumer choices for the following insurance markets: individual and small group markets, Medicaid/CHIP, and high risk pools,' an HHS spokesperson says. 'In October we will add to the information we are providing in July for the individual and small group markets by hiring an IT vendor that has an insurance pricing engine that can provide individual level benefit, cost sharing and premium estimates. We will be procuring such a vendor through an open competition later this month.'" (Subscription required)
FAH WEIGHS IN ON MLR – Modern Healthcare's Rebecca Vesely reports: "The HHS is accepting public comment on the draft regulations of this medical-loss ratio provision through May 14. Interim regulations are expected June 1. In a five-page comment letter, the Federation of American Hospitals urged the HHS to make sure that no nonmedical spending is counted in the new rules. For instance, only the portion of capitation payments—where insurers pay providers for a defined set of services—that reimburses licensed providers for direct patient care should be allowable, the federation said in the letter. Insurers will be able to count quality-improvement activities as part of their minimum-loss ratio, under the health reform law. The federation says only programs 'specifically designed to improve healthcare quality for a particular patient' should be allowed in this quality category. This would exclude certain pay-for-performance, health education and disease-management and wellness programs."
MISSOURI VOTES ON OVERHAUL AUG. 3 – The Columbia Daily Tribune's Terry Ganey reports: "Legislation that began by dealing with the dissolution of insurance companies has morphed into a statewide referendum on the federal overhaul of health care. The General Assembly approved it Tuesday. Voters across Missouri will consider it Aug. 3. The bill provides that no law shall compel a patient, employer or health care provider to participate in any government or privately run health care system. Medicare, the federal health care program for people 65 and older, is not affected by the proposal since laws or regulations in effect as of Jan. 1, 2010, are exempt. Rep. John Diehl, R-Town and Country, said the referendum gives voters the chance to defeat what he called 'Obamanation,' the federal law designed to extend health care coverage to more people. 'They want the tools to be able to fight back on this,' Diehl said. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said the bill, if finally implemented, would lead to a court case on constitutional issues."
FLORIDA EXCHANGE DOESN'T FIT OVERHAUL – Health News Florida's Jim Saunders reports: "When Republican lawmakers created the Florida Health Choices program in 2008, they billed it as a way to deregulate the health-care market for small businesses. Two years later, Florida Health Choices has still not started offering coverage, and its leaders and lawmakers face a philosophical choice that could determine whether the program survives. Florida Health Choices would not qualify as a state insurance exchange under the federal health-reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law in March. As a result, backers of the Florida Health Choices program will have to decide whether to push forward with their free-market vision or go along with requirements in a federal law that is loathed by many Republicans. All states must have such an exchange by 2014 to help small businesses and individuals buy insurance coverage. But while the general thrust of the exchanges and Florida Health Choices is similar, the federal law doesn't allow for the Florida program's hands-off approach to the coverage that would be sold. 'We said we're going to create a marketplace where nobody dictates what has to be sold or bought,'' said Florida Health Choices Chairman Aaron Bean, a former lawmaker who led efforts to create the program. 'The federal government is completely 180 degrees opposite of what we have done.'''
" STUCK WITH THE BILL" – The editorial page of the Wilmington News Journal writes: "Now that reform's been passed, after a divisive political battle, affordability will remain a problem for the foreseeable future. Congress needs to revisit the legislation to impose restrictions on unreasonable premium increases. Problem is, after that long political fight and with this being an election year, they won't. Because Congress could not stand up effectively against insurers, the American people will again be stuck with the bill."

Education Corporate & Government Hospitality Libraries
Education Corporate/Government Hospitality Libraries
Computers in education environments are among the toughest IT environments to manage and secure. The large number of daily users, the limited resources of on-site staff, and the immense number of computers and labs that technology personnel must manage all come together to create an IT 'perfect storm'. IT personnel cannot afford to have computer systems down for long–students use computers in schools to conduct research and complete assignments; instructors need computers to record grades and organize their lessons; administrative staff need their workstations to complete their job function.
Computer Labs
Deep Freeze makes it easy for IT administrators to create bulletproof computer labs that deliver trouble-free computing to instructors and students. Deep Freeze ensures that students are able to use public access computers with the assurance that their session will be free from accidental system misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation.

Computing environments become easier to manage, and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity.
Deep Freeze's ability to prevent stability degradation ensures that scholastic computer labs are able to provide the same experience over and over again regardless of the user on the desktop–an important prerequisite to successfully teaching a classroom concept.
Administrative Machines
Deep Freeze is not just for student machines; it can also be used on instructor and employee computers. Since Deep Freeze offers flexible options for saving user data, it becomes easy to secure a workstation with total resiliency while still enabling users to save their work. Instructors and staff enjoy the assurance of knowing their computers will never fail them, and IT personnel are freed from having to deal with tedious helpdesk requests.

Originally released as part of "The Wizard of Ooh Ahz" collection and then placed in their permanent collection as well as brought back for the re-release of "Wizard" last year, this polish has probably graced the fingers of most of you out there. As a matter of fact, for a hot second I thought about NOT showing this polish as it has been swatched from here to Zimbabwe and back, but it was The Husband's birthday this week and I let him choose. "What polish do you think I should..." "Ruby Pumps." "No seriously, Husband, which one should I..." "Ruby Pumps." What can I say, he just loves this one.
So what is it about this color? Is it the glitter-filled candy apple red goodness? Is is the smooth finish? Is it the fact that every girl out there has always wanted a pair of THESE?

Chevy can plan all it wants for the Sonic and Spark, but the market will decide
Chevrolet marketers believe the Sonic and Spark small cars will appeal to different consumers.
We'll see.
Chris Perry, Chevrolet's vice president of global marketing and strategy, told reporters last week that the U.S.-built 2012 Sonic is targeted at millennials, while the imported and slightly smaller Spark, due in the middle of next year as a 2013, will be targeted at a more urban audience: city folks and students on college campuses.
Remember the launch of Toyota's Scion brand? The average age of Toyota's buyers at the time was roughly equal to that of Buick's, so the Japanese automaker aimed its new brand at younger buyers. And it got them. But it also got more.
Older buyers soon realized that Scion offered some solidly built cars at astoundingly low prices. (The profit in Scions came from selling add-ons to customize the cars.) Soon enough, Scion drew not only the hip crowd but the artificial-hip AARP crowd as well.
If the Spark is as good as Chevy hopes, consumers, not GM marketers, will decide the eventual demographics of the Sonic owner base.
Not that Chevy will complain, as long as the car is selling.

Basketball in Philadelphia is back. Philly fans have been lobbying for some national respect for their 15-6 start to the 2011-2012 season, and their wishes may have been granted with Wednesday night's thrashing of the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls, 98-82.
As impressive as the 76ers run has been, their only "quality" wins came against a Danny Granger-less Indiana Pacers and an Al Horford-less Atlanta Hawks. While some may continue the trend with tonight's win being against a Bulls team missing key contributors in Luol Deng and Rip Hamilton, this one should leave a resounding impression across the NBA that the 76ers are for real.
The Bulls came out of the gate looking like the team that is leading the Eastern Conference and in the elite class of the NBA with reigning Most Valuable Player of the NBA Derrick Rose scoring seven of his 15 first-half points in the first quarter. However, it was the 76ers who led after the first frame, mainly due to the play of Andre Iguodala.
Iguodala, often scorned in Philadelphia for his massive, $80 million contract, led the 76ers with 19 points and nine rebounds, including a couple of crowd-pleasing dunks and passes. Iggy got a lot of help from his supporting cast with three of the five 76ers' double-figure scorers coming off the bench.
Thaddeus Young scored 19 points along with eight boards of his own, and Lou Williams once again added 14 points. With Spencer Hawes and Nik Vucevic still out with injuries, Lavoy Allen continued to impress with a career-high 15 points.
With the number one (Chicago) and number two (Philadelphia) defensive teams in the NBA facing off, mistakes would go a long way in deciding the victor of the matchup and it proved true tonight.
The harassing defense of the 76ers caused the Bulls to turn the ball over 17 times, leading to 29 points. Known as a team that likes to run the court, the 76ers had 21 fast break points to just four for the Bulls. Secondary stat categories like fast break points and points off turnovers are vital for teams like the 76ers who aren't built to be stat stuffers.
Rose finished with 18 points and C.J. Watson added 20 points off the bench. The Bulls did not feature another scorer over nine points. This is twice the Bulls have experienced 16-point defeats this season with the first coming in Memphis last month. Chicago followed that game with a 23-point beat down against the Phoenix Suns. Philadelphia is hopeful history repeats itself as the Bulls travel to New York to face the Knicks tomorrow night.

Victoria Beckham takes son Brooklyn horse riding
London, March 10 : Victoria Beckham has enjoyed an afternoon of horse riding with her son Brooklyn in the Hollywood Hills.
After a busy few months leading up the New York Fashion Week, the 37-year-old fashion designer is back in the bosom of her family spending quality time with her four children.
The former Spice Girl took her son, who turned 13 on March 4, out for horse riding in the Hollywood Hills and uploaded a photo of a smiling Brooklyn sitting on a horse on a sandy slope with the Hollywood sign in the background, the Daily Mail reported.
She uploaded the photo with the message "Amazing afternoon horseback riding with Brooklyn in the Hollywood Hills! I love LA! X vb."
A brunette woman could be seen ahead of Brooklyn on another horse, but it was unclear whether or not it was Victoria. So it is likely she was behind the camera. (ANI)
