The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
We're in the midst of a start-up renaissance. Being an entrepreneur is sexy, and doing a startup is seen as a rite of professional passage.
As a result, there not only appears to be an entrepreneurial renaissance happening but a huge wave of new startups. For anyone who believes entrepreneurship is a key economic driver, it is a very encouraging development.
But is there a downside to all this activity?
In particular, is it too easy to launch a startup? Compared with even five years, the cost of a startup has fallen dramatically from a hardware, software and development perspective. It means the barriers to entry have tumbled, which has encouraged more people to take the startup plunge.
With start-ups being created relatively quickly and easily, the landscape is busy, noisy and ultra-competitive. There are so many start-ups battling for the attention of consumers that it has become challenging to capture the spotlight, even for startups that have products and services offering strong value.
The marketplace not only includes startups with good potential but many startups with little or no prospects for success but still battling away.
The question is whether this is a healthy ecosystem. At the end of the day, will the cream rise to the top, or does too many startups mean quantity overwhelms quality?
Sure, competition is good and an integral part of capitalism but there is also a downside when it becomes too easy for new players to get into the game.
It makes it more difficult for start-ups to gain attention and generate traction, while consumers can find it hard to break through the noise to figure out who's good and who's not.
It's an interesting competitive dynamic given the speed at which start-ups can be created, and how quickly the market evolves.
My take is there are too many startups but this may not necessarily be a bad thing because it will force the good ones to figure out new ways to have their products and services resonate with consumers.
What do you think?

This story is the second in a series on North Carolina's local and sustainable food movement. Read part one here.
Although winter months put a damper on farm activities, community support for the local and sustainable food movement hasn't shown signs of slowing.
For Orange County farmers, winter is when production is at a yearly low and when many prepare for spring.
The fields at Chapel Hill's Eco Farm are now covered in sheets of protective plastic. In the past few weeks, the trees have grown barren and a colorful array of leaves have covered the earth. Most of the produce grown at Eco Farm has been moved to the farm's greenhouse.
Though things have slowed down for most farmers, the Center for Environmental Farming Systems is still working to build awareness of sustainable and local food economies around North Carolina. In the past two years, the center has developed a statewide action guide to outline future goals and has begun implementing initiatives to raise awareness and support for local farmers.
Community-supported agriculture is one way local farmers obtain funds to keep them afloat until the next season. CSAs create a relationship between farmers and their communities by providing members weekly or biweekly access to the farm's fresh, seasonal produce.
John and Cindy Soehner, owners of the Eco Farm in Chapel Hill, ran a CSA for about four years.
CSAs provide disposable income for the fall and winter months, Cindy Soehner said.
"That's money we can use for planting, buying seeds, for repairing things," she said. "It helps us when we don't have a lot of produce to sell."
Mike Perry of Perry-winkle Farm in Chapel Hill said that a smaller farm such as Perry-winkle usually only earns up to $400 or $500 in the winter. Perry said his second job as a mason helps with finances during less active winter months.
In December and January, Perry and his wife sell goods at the Carrboro Farmers' Market, one of the few local farmers markets that remain open year-round. He said that although the market's pace slows significantly in the winter, he still sells seasonal produce, eggs and meat.
The growing trend of buying local food has not gone unnoticed by farmers.
"Every time you pick up a newspaper, there's something about buying local," Perry said, adding that sales had gone up for the farm despite this year's poor economy.
Continuing into the winter season, campaigns by the Center for Environmental Farming Systems have helped raise consumer access to and awareness of local food.
Recent initiatives have helped increase support for local farmers and communities like CSAs. These initiatives began through a collaboration of knowledge and experience from experts around the state.
Nancy Creamer, co-director of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, said the statewide Farm to Fork initiative stemmed from the center's NC Choices Program, which focused on advancing market opportunities for pasture-based farmers.
While developing market models, Creamer said the program realized that the infrastructure between farm and market was broken — no coherent system existed to provide fresh, local food to the community. Their attempts to bridge this gap eventually evolved into the Farm to Fork initiative.
"It started out as an environmental movement, but now people are seeing it as a solution to a wide range of problems," Creamer said.
The organization's efforts gained traction in 2009, when more than 400 stakeholders — including representatives from N.C. State University and UNC-Chapel Hill and dignitaries like N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue — attended a summit sponsored by the center to develop a plan for local, sustainable food initiatives.
The resulting yearlong combination of regional meetings and research produced the State Action Guide, which has since led to initiatives such as the 10 Percent Campaign.
Those involved in the Farm to Fork initiative also helped develop working definitions for terms such as "local" and "sustainable" by combining the terms and ideas associated with these concepts.
According to the center, a sustainable food economy is community-based and emphasizes transparency, making information available to everyone. It also stresses affordability and accessibility in addition to educating consumers and sustaining local farm families.
Cindy Soehner said that one way she and John practice sustainable farming is by rotating crops. This practice ensures that crops are able to obtain the nutrients necessary to grow healthily and prevents soil from becoming depleted of one nutrient through continuous recropping.
Another key factor in creating a local sustainable food economy is protecting land, water and wildlife.
"The food we call cheap, that is cheap when we pay for it at the cash register, is expensive to health and the economy," said Tes Thraves, the community-based food systems coordinator at the center.
Research has shown that many of today's agricultural practices threaten sustainability. Large-scale "factory farms" cause soil erosion, reduced soil fertility and overgrazing.
The heavy use of fertilizer has led to the loss of usable farmland and has consequently decreased long-term production, according to a research proposal by Alice Ammerman, a professor in the department of nutrition at the Gillings School of Global Public Health.
This research shows that salinization has caused a worldwide loss of 1.5 million hectares of arable farm land per year and $11 billion in lost U.S. production during the past 40 years.
Farmland is also threatened by the growing North Carolina population, which, according to the proposal, is estimated to have grown by 600,000 in the last ten years. This population increase could create increased demand for new residential space, possibly leading to further farmland loss.
The effort to better address those issues is happening at both the community and policy level, Thraves said.
She said that because affordable food is an immediate necessity, the center has been working to increase accessibility and affordability of local, sustainable food for people of all income levels.
At the policy level, the North Carolina Sustainable Local Food Advisory Council works to impact the state's food policy. The council, approved by the General Assembly in 2009, is made up of stakeholders who want to influence the movement on a larger scale.
The movement has brought together nonprofit organizations, government officials, students, farmers, consumers, schools and businesses, Thraves said, adding that she finds the amount of people dedicated to the movement amazing.
"How and where success happens is usually attributable to collaboration," Thraves said. "Where you see that combination happening, you begin to see change."

In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
In San Diego, burritos are still the most popular Mexican import but tortas are gaining a foothold. The new torta shop downtown, Bolillo Tortas, offers 17 different varieties ranging from ham and cheese to ahogada (a carnitas torta drenched in chile de arbol sauce).
The Milanesa de Pollo starts with a chicken breast that's pounded flat, lightly breaded and fried, sort of like the Mexican version of schnitzel. The crunchy layer of breading gives the sandwich some texture and counter-balances the creaminess of the queso, avocado, beans, and cream.
The torta has earthy, mostly neutral flavors but you can turn up the heat by slapping on some chipotle salsa, pickled serrano peppers, or a generous drizzle of salsa verde (Bolillo's has tomatillo and nopales). Before you bite down, make sure you've got a good hold of the squishy roll—the multiple multiple layers of ingredients, many of them moist and creamy, are prone to slippage.
All tortas come with a bacon-wrapped, cream cheese-stuffed fried jalapeno, plus veggies, salad, or spicy roasted corn (which is the way go to). For under $10, it's a filling option, particularly for the hungry hoards flooding out of the convention center just three blocks away.

Frawley is said to have put himself in contention for the role of Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy" by telephoning Lucille Ball and saying "Red. I hear you gotta TV series coming on. You got a part for me?"
A rabid New York Yankees baseball fan, Frawley had written into his "I Love Lucy" contract that he did not have work during The World Series if the Yankees were playing. Considering the 1950s New York Yankees were in eight of the 10 series during the decade, this did cause Desilu a few problems and Frawley does not appear in two "I Love Lucy" episodes due to this clause.
Some say it was because of his drinking, but Frawley did not drive. Luckily, he lived in the El Royale apartments on Rossmore, in walking distance of all three locations where "I Love Lucy" was filmed during its run. Frawley's favorite watering hole was Nickodell's restaurant and bar, which was only a few yards away from the Paramount main gate.
Frawley was always happiest when he could sing on an "I Love Lucy" episode. Although Vivian Vance had also been a singer in musical comedy, Frawley insisted she could not carry a tune. It was one of the off-stage elements of friction between Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mertz.

TGIF and for Mom Too
My mom is arrived yesterday and saved the day. She took care of the boys while Nathan had his gig and I finished up at the shoppe and went to Shop-n-Sip. She even took the boys to the Cub Scout meeting at school and got Wylie all signed up. What a great Meme she is!
After last night, most of the BIG To-Do's are over for now(newsletter deadline, shoppe update for Shop-n-Sip...) and I just have one last thing to do today for a client and then it is the weekend!! Woo hoo!
One of the greatest things about last night was being at the shoppe was watching Banners and other goodies literally fly off the shelves! I have never seen so much buying activity in our room on a Shop-n-Sip night before. People where having fun in that room, trying on crowns and taking pictures, ooohing and ahhhing. It was so much fun to see other people having as much fun in our shoppe as we do. And it as very rewarding to see that after the long hours we put in this week to get everything ready.
These are a few pictures of the outside of the Shoppes, a promo picture I did for the Newsletter and some shots of our room. Jeanetta has a bunch more over here...

Tuberculosis After Effects03/17/2010 |
Does tuberculosis after effects include shortness of breath while speaking? Is there any cure on this?
Because tuberculosis typically involves the lung it is possible that shortness of breath could occur in a patient who has been treated for tuberculosis. This would typically occur in patients who had advanced tuberculosis involving a large amount of the lung. Scarring from the tuberculosis infection can reduce lung function. Consultation with a lung specialist and testing of lung function (called pulmonary function testing) would be a way to evaluate whether these symptoms are a result of the treated tuberculosis infection.

British headline grabbers and punky poppers the Libertines kicked off their official reunion last night in London, playing a gig at the HMV Forum. The 21-song set featured all the expected favorites and the band has upcoming appearances at the Leeds Festival and Reading Festival on deck.

The 1967 pop ditty, "C'mon Down to My Boat", evokes sweetness and light. Every Mother's Son seemed like good guys who just wanted to free a hard working girl from the clutches of her fisherman father. But lately, I've been wondering. The line, "Soon I'm gonna have to get my knife and cut that rope"—what does it really mean. The daughter is not literally tied to the dock. That would be too kinky. The more logical allusion is that the familial obligations keep the girl tied down. Therefore, what is Every Mother's Son really gonna do with that knife? Do the lyrics suggest an act of violence? Does the sugary pop confection hide a darker meaning, and the singer is going to stab and kill the father so he can elope with the daughter? That may be reading too much into the lyrics, but the Summer of Love from which this song emerged soon turned into a more brutal era. Perhaps the clues were there all along, in innocent music like this.
The Lovetones' Matthew Tow has been playing in Brian Jonestown Massacre since 2003, all the while keeping his own band chugging through five albums. That fifth release is Lost, dropping 28 September on Planting Seeds Records. The group's 2009 record, Dimensions, garnered an 8 from PopMatters, with Sarah Moore talking about how the Aussie band "brings a down-under haze to psychedelic pop mindful of the 1960s." Lost features nine new tunes, including the opener "City Meets the Stars", that continues to display the Lovetones' love of psychedelic jangle pop rooted in the '60s and influenced by the Byrds, the Beatles and the Moody Blues.
Earlier this month, award-winning author Neil Gaiman contributed a short story, to Harper Perennial's recent Fifty-Two Stories experiment, Neil Gaiman contributed a short story, The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains.

Note: Contains spoilers.
Caleb Nichols, formerly of Oakland's Port O'Brien has collaborated with Jameson Swanagon on and off for the past 15 years. It took Swanagon's return to the Bay Area from Boston to solidify their musical partnership in Grand Lake. The band's debut, Blood Sea Dream, came out this Tuesday. The band is planning a free, new supplemental release called Soft Lake, releasing soon, that will include more minimalistic takes on songs from Blood Sea Dream as well as few new tunes. "Louise (I Live in a Fantasy)" appears on the earlier album, but here we have the free download premiere of the new take on the tune that will soon appear on Soft Lake. The original is a rocking tune, while this new interpretation is pastoral and folky, a thorough re-working.

End of quarters cost Heat in Game 5
SAN ANTONIO — The Miami Heat will be lamenting 8 bad minutes. Eight very bad minutes, actually.
So bad that they took away any realistic chance of winning Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. So bad that they put the reigning champions on the brink of elimination. So bad that they ensured the Heat season can only be saved by winning two games in Miami, or else they will face the indignity of watching an opponent celebrate a title on their floor for the second time in three years.
San Antonio closed the first quarter on a 15-2 run, then wrapped up the third with a 12-1 burst. And those flurries generated more than enough cushion than the Spurs would need on the way to a 114-104 win that put them one win away from their fifth championship since 1999.
In those two bursts, the Spurs shot a combined 10 for 12. The Heat, 1 for 11.
More than anything else, those two stretches will be the ones that cause the Heat to cringe when they watch the tape Monday.
"Our focus is … can we put together our best game on both sides of the floor in Game 6?" Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We do feel good that we're going home, but we've got to earn back that home court."
Game 6 is in Miami on Tuesday. Game 7, if necessary, would also be there Thursday.
It was 17-17 with 4:45 left in the first after LeBron James tied it for Miami with a 3-pointer. The score at the end of the first: Spurs 32, Heat 19. And it wasn't just the ending that was bad for Miami. The Heat shot 30 percent in the period, their third-worst performance from the field of the entire season — while the Spurs sizzled away at 63 percent.
Slowly, things moved toward leveling out. And an inspired start to the third by Miami cut what was a nine-point deficit at intermission to just 61-60 in the first 77 seconds of the second half. Then with 3:05 left in the third, a jumper by Dwyane Wade, followed by a free throw by Shane Battier on the same play (he was fouled while setting a screen) got the Heat within one again, 75-74.
That's when the bottom fell out — again.
"Once we got it back to one, we felt that we'd weathered the storm," Spoelstra said. "Then we missed a couple shots that we normally are accustomed to making, and it just snowballed downhill from there."
Danny Green made a 3-pointer to start the San Antonio surge to close the third, and Manu Ginobili scored seven more points before the end of the period to help push the Spurs' margin to 12 at 87-75 entering the fourth.
By then, the Spurs had more than enough space to weather Miami's last rally. The Heat cut it to 109-101 with just inside of 2 minutes to go, which surely made getting outscored by 24 combined points to end the first and third quarters hurt that much more.
And now, Miami's task is simple. Win Tuesday, then win Thursday — or else.
"Got no choice, now," Heat guard Mike Miller said.

It sounds like this: You said I was the reason why we couldn't work out but it was all a lie...Ar ar ar ai ai ah ah blah dah dah, except in like, dolphin language. [People]Lindsay Lohan reportedly left a series of phone messages for Calum Best that were all, "I can't believe you would ever fucking do this to me, I should have listened to everyone. I should never have fucking trusted you." Hey Linds! Didja hear? That's not you in the BJ clip!

Very professional. [MSNBC]A source says the role was very carefully chosen and avoided "trigger" topics like her music career and her kids. "They just wanted her to be treated normally, but obviously this wasn't a normal situation. This wasn't about her career, it was about her health." [MSNBC]Ooh, Britney revelations via Henry Rollins! Yeah, that's right, Henry Motherfucking Rollins! Henry sez: "They have the black chick come in and sing, and Britney sings over it, and they mix them together. (Britney) gets her phrasing basically from this older R&B woman. I found that out talking to an engineer. Britney apparently isn't actually the worst singer, she just has no feel. So they bring in this older black woman who sings the song, then Britney sings to it, and they kind of make a mix of the two voices, and that's what you hear on the records."

But Martin Scorsese is set to direct a documentary on Bob, which would be allowed to use his music, according to Ziggy. [TMZ]Dancing With The Stars alum Sara Evans went through a very public divorce battle last year but won't let that stop her from getting engaged to a former University of Alabama quarterback.

Re: comments in import files
Hi, e.g. you could read the whole file as one string, delete empty lines,convert the string to a stream and read the stream like: Import[StringToStream[yourString],"Table"]. However, I think an easier solution is to add the comment as an additional column and delete it after importing by: t=Import[..]; t[[All,Range[number_of_columns]]] this even works if not all lines have a comment.

Obviously this is Lindsay Lohan's world and we're all just occupying it. That is really the only logical conclusion I can come to after this really confusing week full of emotional Lindsay turmoil, pre-rehab Chanel pit stops, rehab swapping, and hours contemplating the most accurate guesstimation for our Lindsay Lohan Rehab Pool. Fortunately for moi, Dina Lohan's recent statements reassured me that Lindsay is on the right path. LOL just kidding!
"I am so relieved and thankful that Lindsay is getting the help she needs in a credible place," Dina says. "She actually wanted to go, whether the court said to or not. She is happy there, to get introspective and get back on the right track."
Yes, because someone who's ready to make a change in her life (for the billionth time) probably would need an appropriate amount of time for reflection at Coachella, The Late Show, and a movie premiere — all of which I'm sure helped her figure out which rehab center could provide the best all-around combination of these things (holler for Betty Ford y'all).
In case you're still feeling doubts about the girl who laughs in the face of sobriety (and then coughs in the face of sobriety because you know, cigs) Dina is quick to assuage our fears and E!'s desire for a dramatic statement:
"Lindsay is gonna be okay. She has a different frame of mind this time. She realizes and she knows she needs help this time. She was like, 'I'm sorry, Mommy.' And I tell her, 'Don't say you are sorry. You just have to work on yourself and on getting well. Don't beat yourself up. The bottom line is that [addiction] is a disease. It is a gene. Pretty much one in every family in the world carries it. It is difficult. You just have to heal."
Two things: 1.) I'm willing to bet that most of Lindsay's problems could stem from/have something to do with the fact that she's almost 27 years old and she still refers to her mother as "mommy"; and 2.) Oh hai, Dina. You're addicted to fame, brassy blonde hair color, and I'm willing to bet you're the only person still doing 'ludes in 2013. Maybe you can take Lindsay's spot at Seafield.

10-19-2008, 07:32 PMPerhaps those outside the church are in the best position to evaluate it's character... I have been both inside and out of the Catholic church at least, and I would be hard pressed to describe what they do as anything but holding souls for ransom.... at least when they start taking hard stances on candidates and political issues.
Personally I don't care one way or the other what the government does or does not do concerning the pill because that is a secular matter and between man and man's government.
If I was asked to vote on a law that would outlaw the pill I might vote yes or I might vote no. I am not sure. I would have to know the details before I could make a intellectual decision on that. I can say that from my moral high horse that using the pill for abortion purposes is wrong. But I am not willing to through the baby out with the bath water. I know of no Scripture that says that birth control is wrong. Until such a time as someone can show me in Scripture where prevention is immoral I will support it. As Luther said "I cannot do otherwise".
If someone decides to use the pill for abortion purposes then that is between them and God. Since the pill is legal they have that ability. The pill has dual uses, one I consider amoral and the other I see as immoral but I'm not the one who is going to have to speak with God about that decision to abort. I have enough issues in my life to answer to God for without adding someone else's.
Intent only matters for the culpability of the person taking the pill. But in the end it results thousands/possibly millions of dead babies, according to the Catholic worldview... so one wonders how the church can remain so silent on the legality of the pill, regardless of intent of the people taking it (which in the vast majority of cases is simply to prevent pregnancy). Dead babies are still dead babies.
That leads one to also wonder, how they can be so vocal and cantankerous on their member's own personal beliefs on the matter of abortion... and why I stand by my claim that they (church officials) have simply gone off their rockers (more-so than usual;)). They aren't just preaching that abortion is wrong... they are telling people its a sin, worthy of the harshest punishment available (excommunication) to think that government isnt the solution to this 'problem'!!
If I didn't believe that my moral point of view right then it wouldn't be a moral point of view would it? It would be a opinion. Opinions are not morals. As I said above the government can do what it will do and if it wants to keep abortion legal then that is ok. However, if given the choice to vote on it I'm going to vote with my morals.
The bolded portion is a completely hypocritical position my atheist friend. You seem to be saying that I can't use government to reflect my morals but you may use the government to force your morals on the unborn. My morality doesn't forbid me from using my morals for social decisions and apparently yours does. But you are now asking me to accept your morals and let abortion remain unfettered and my morals must remain silent. If abortion didn't involve the murder of the unborn I wouldn't have a problem with this and I would say fine let people make a morally poor decision if they want. Unfortunately a defenseless third party is involved so the situation is more complex. My morals tell me to defend those who can't defend themselves.
Coercing an entire nation of people to conform to a philosophically shaky position that they don't agree with by threat of government force is immoral... and (I don't bring this canard out often, but it's true in this case) unamerican! Like it or not, a slim but significant majority of people in this country feel very strongly that the government shouldn't outlaw abortion. One cannot hide from that fact that there are persuasive, solid arguments that human rights do not begin at conception. This cannot be swept under the rug and ignored while repeating the meme's about murder and baby butchery.
We could stop all abortion tomorrow if we submitted to totalitarian style law enforcement on the issue. On the spot public executions for sympathizers etc etc.... but we know that would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. With a population with such strong emotions on both sides, and as divided as it is, you cannot even begin to hope make a significant dent in the practice by overturning a simple law unless you resort to such measures. This is the trade off we live with, in a democratic republic. The people must be convinced, not the government.
Morals as enforced by the government must be secular morals, since they must rightly govern people of *all* religions as well as the non-religious.
A person is made righteous by his relationship with God and not by his relationship to the Visible Church. A person does not answer to the Church for his sins but to God and Christ bleed to death to play for the sins of believers, not the Church. The only leverage a Church has over someone is the leverage that they give the Church. Many, and I mean many, people have left one Church to join another because they could not accept the teaching or moral views of the Church they previously attended. Lots of these people are Catholic. I am an Anglican and we have lots of people who were once Catholic. People are not as bound to their church as you seem to believe.Last edited by wilbur; 10-19-2008 at 07:47 PM.

10-19-2008, 07:36 PMDepends on what definition of species you use... the concept of species is a lot fuzzier than we typically think.
Millions of cells that slough off of us on a daily basis have DNA... the live cells we may use for a DNA test have DNA. Interestingly enough, a down syndrome baby has extra DNA (a whole nother chromosome). A turners syndrome baby is missing a chromosome. So under your DNA criteria, is it OK to abort fetuses with these conditions?
I was going to give a point by point reply but I am unable to do that because of many misunderstandings you have concerning Scriptural doctrines. (For example you view a wrong and a sin as two different things as in:
They aren't just preaching that abortion is wrong... they are telling people its a sin
What is so wrong with expecting people to make the right choice at the right time? We could end all abortion that way as well. All the pro-life side is saying is make the right choice before a life has to be taken. Choose abstinence and if that isn't acceptable choose prevention. What is wrong with people making those choices? In our society we have become so use to not being responsible for our actions that we extend it to every facet of our lives. I see parallels with abortion and jumping off a building. If I leap off a 10 story building then I can't decide to reverse my fall if I'm less than a 1/3 of the way from the top. I have to see things through to the end. That was the decision I made when I jumped. Same with abortion. A couple of people made a choice that they knew could result in a pregnancy and now the want a do over because the unthinkable happened. As conservatives are we suppose to want people to accept responsibilities for their decisions both good and bad? Why should pregnancy be held to a different standard?Last edited by FlaGator; 10-19-2008 at 09:56 PM.

10-20-2008, 09:25 AMFG, I agree with almost everything you're saying here. People should definitely use precaution; sometimes precautions fail. Some people simply are careless, but some take care and still have a failure. Abortion is not meant to be birth control, but it can be a remedy for when it fails.

10-20-2008, 02:24 PMThe church makes it quite clear, it is a grave sin to vote against a pro-life candidate if the other candidate is more moderate, period. How am I confusing things here?

NASA Dreams Of Establishing Permanent Research Base On The Moon
It's been 39 years since Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. It was a historic day, and since the Apollo 11, no human being has set a foot on the mystic and beautiful moon. But scientists at NASA are hopeful that they will make a permanent presence on moon by 2020.
At the NASA's Lunar Science Conference, scientists were eager while they discussed about the future plans for lunar exploration. The scientists are aiming to create permanent premises on the Moon as well on Mars to conduct permanent missions.
S. Pete Worden, director of NASA/Ames expressed said, "We're going back, and this time we're going to stay." The researchers are determined to plan longer human explorations on the Moon than was done in Apollo11.
The scientist feel that there are lot of questions in the queue to be answered before the human steps on the Moon, and thus the things would not be easy because they would be faced with much weaker gravity on the other planet.
While on the other hand, many other nations other than US are preparing and developing their own projects to land on the Moon. The names include Russia and China. There are also companies like Google, which are encouraging robotic missions to Moon.
Google under its Google's Lunar X Prize has promised $ 30 million in prizes for teams which could manage to land robotic rover on Moon by 2014. Google undertook this initiative to beat NASA's plan to return the moon by the at least 6 years.

What are you implying with this statement? It makes no sense! Particularly in light of the fact that most of the people who are damning the Twisted Sisters are also damning Team Texas. I fail to see what these two teams have in common that may lead one to judge them on a criteria other than the actions we saw broadcast during the show.
As to my vision, my eyes are perfectly clear, and what I see is a lack of morals.
Exactly! The Amazing Race had no objection because it had nothing to do with gameplay. It was purely a decision to take money from two individuals for personal gain.
Ive asked a couple of times for evidence of this supposed gameplay. Ive seen nothing in the actual events that were broadcast that even hint to a game plan. I would be thrilled if someone would offer something other than a conclusion that would enlighten me.

President Barack Obama's official announcement that he will seek re-election came as no surprise on Capitol Hill.
I (for one) don't understand it. Why doesn't Obama quit while he's sort of ahead? Obama's already experienced the exhilaration of being swept into the White House on a wave of national adulation, won the Nobel Prize, hosted state dinners and traveled in luxury on the taxpayer's dime with Michelle to plush far-away places. To Obama, that's old hat. What lies ahead for him is a brutal re-election campaign that he may not survive. And even if he wins, he'll be paralyzed in his second term by a Congress controlled by House and Senate Republicans. Obama will be a figurehead president.
So, repeating my earlier question: Why not retire, become what I'll loosely refer to as a statesman, give speeches around the globe for astronomical sums and write a book? If Sarah Palin made millions on her autobiographies, Obama could earn tens of millions.
Obama's joy ride from four long years ago has crashed and burned. No longer is Obama the relatively unknown first-term Illinois senator and the first African-American seeking to reclaim the presidency for the Democrats from the widely unpopular George W. Bush.
His successful 2008 strategy that included brass bands on stages decked with American flags won't cut it in 2012.
"Change you can believe in," Obama's hypnotizing campaign pledge, stands exposed today as the empty words they always were.
Among Obama's broken promises are the 3 to 5 million jobs that he didn't deliver on. And while his adorning audience in the mainstream media like to promote the infinitesimal decline in the unemployment rate from 8.9 to 8.8 percent as a "recovery," numerous studies found that the precious few jobs created during the last few months paid between $9 and $12, an unlivable wage.
The trend won't end any time soon. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that nearly 400,000 food preparation and service jobs will be created by 2018 (average pay: $16,430), while only 11,100 financial examiner jobs (average pay: $70,930) will be created.
Republicans should have a heyday attacking Obama's failed fiscal policies, which include his controversial health care package, rammed through Congress against the American people's will, the wasteful stimulus programs and the stalled budget negotiations.
What Obama hopes will bail him out will be his $1 billion war chest that he's off and running to accumulate. If you're a skeptic of money in politics, a $1 billion campaign should truly disgust you.
The Congressional newspaper The Hill wrote that that Obama's formal filing to run in 2012 gives him the legal opportunity to use the campaign infrastructure his staffers have already secretly built to start his aggressive fundraising effort.
Obama may be in for a rude surprise. Even his most fawning ultra-liberal Hollywood fans have soured on Obama. Matt Damon, informally representing his peer group, told CNN that he thinks Obama is a failure.
In the end, 2012 will not be about Obama. After four years, America knows what it has in the Oval Office. As the old saying goes, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Obama has to keep his fingers crossed for this is not only about $1 billion. That huge sum won't be enough to save him against an effective Republican challenger. In their conversations with each other, Obama's advisers have to be praying for the Republican ticket to be headed by someone as inept as John McCain. If that happens, Obama's path would be all downhill.
Joe Guzzardi, a registered Independent, reminds readers that 2008 he warned against buying into the Obama hype. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Selina Jen shows scarred arms in sleeveless dress Popular girl group S.H.E revealed the theme song for Taiwan Lantern Festival 2013, Cant Wait, at a press conference last weekend. Selina Jen turned up in a sleeveless dress, making it her first public appearance without wearing pressure garments for her arms. Although the sight of her arms multiple scars shocked many, the 31-year-old, who has slimmed down considerably, was in good spirits. Im recovering, sleeping and eating well. Ive also been exercising. Thanks everyone for saying that Ive lost weight, said Selina. In other related news, the trio will travel to China for CCTVs Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Years Eve. With Selina and Ella set to head home to accompany their husbands after returning to Taiwan, singleton Hebe is expected to spend the festive season with her family. |

The weekend came and went so fast. One minute, I had two daughters to cook for; the next minute, they were gone again. In the short time that they were home, I cooked dishes that I thought they would enjoy.
For Saturday's late dinner, there was crisp fried tilapia, per Alex's request. For Sam, vegetable green curry.
For Sunday's lunch, a huge pot of pork adobo with hard-boiled eggs for carnivorous Alex. For vegetarian Sam, an oversized grilled cheese and tomato sandwich, done a la "Chef", and a lovely chickpeas and fresh mango salad that tickles the taste buds with the natural sweetness of the mango and the tang of the lemon juice drizzled in before tossing.
I garnished the salad with mint leaves freshly picked from the garden to brighten it up but Sam's no fan of mint and she picked out each leaf one by one before digging into the salad. I should remember to use only fresh parsley when cooking for Sam. But if the salad were for me, I'd add cilantro.
A few notes…
To prevent the salad from turning watery, I scraped off the seeds of the cucumber and tomatoes before cutting.
The proportion of the ingredients is not a strict rule. You can use more or less of any ingredient.
If you want more bite, add some roughly chopped onion.
- ⅓ c. of cooked chickpeas (if using canned, drain then rinse and drain well)
- ½ c. of cubed cucumber
- ½ c. of cubed tomatoes
- ½ c. of cubed fresh mango
- salt and pepper, to taste
- lemon juice, to taste
- fresh herbs, to garnish
- Toss all the ingredients. Garnish with your preferred fresh herb. Serve and enjoy.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Review: The New Enthusiast Kepler
by Ryan Smith on June 25, 2013 9:00 AM ESTA little less than a month has transpired since the launch of the GeForce GTX 770, and we're back again with another new NVIDIA card. As is usually the case with NVIDIA video card family launches, NVIDIA has started at the top and has been working their way through the list, refreshing consecutively lower-end video cards. GTX 770 saw the $400 price point refreshed with a new high-end GK104 part, and now the sub-$300 price point is due for a refresh with a new lower-end GK104 part.
Launching today, that part will be GeForce GTX 760, the direct successor to the GTX 660 Ti. Whereas the GTX 770 fully supplanted the GTX 680 and put the GTX 670 in a tough spot, GTX 760 will be doing the same thing from the other direction, replacing GTX 660 Ti while also assuming the rest of the market segment formerly inhabited by the GTX 670. As a result NVIDIA is gunning for performance between a GTX 660 Ti and GTX 670, while bringing the price down to $249, nearly $50 below GTX 660 Ti. Consequently this is a lot like the GTX 770 launch – a GK104 refresh that will see NVIDIA delivering more for less.
GTX 770 | GTX 760 | GTX 660 Ti | GTX 560 Ti | |
Stream Processors | 1536 | 1152 | 1344 | 384 |
Texture Units | 128 | 96 | 112 | 64 |
ROPs | 32 | 32 | 24 | 32 |
Core Clock | 1046MHz | 980MHz | 915MHz | 822MHz |
Shader Clock | N/A | N/A | N/A | 1644MHz |
Boost Clock | 1085MHz | 1033MHz | 980MHz | N/A |
Memory Clock | 7GHz GDDR5 | 6GHz GDDR5 | 6GHz GDDR5 | 4GHz GDDR5 |
Memory Bus Width | 256-bit | 256-bit | 192-bit | 256-bit |
Transistor Count | 3.5B | 3.5B | 3.5B | 1.95B |
Manufacturing Process | TSMC 28nm | TSMC 28nm | TSMC 28nm | TSMC 40nm |
Launch Price | $399 | $249 | $299 | $249 |
The GTX 760 is essentially composed of the only GK104 configuration we didn't see with the 600 series: 6 SMXes attached to a full 32 ROP, 256-bit memory bus. This is the fewest number of enabled SMXes on any desktop GK104 part – GTX 670 and GTX 660 Ti both had 7 SMXes – but it's 32 ROPs versus the 24 ROPs on GTX 660 Ti. As a result we're looking at a configuration that technically has less shading and texturing throughput than the retiring GTX 660 Ti, but more ROP throughput and memory bandwidth than that same part, on-par with the equally retiring GTX 670.
Note that this is also the only desktop GK104 part that potentially ships with 3 GPCs; with 2 SMXes disabled, a GPC goes with it if those SMXes are part of the same GPC. Though as with the other NVIDIA parts where there's a variable number of GPCs, we haven't seen a measurable impact on performance, so it's more of a technicality than a meaningful difference.
Like the GTX 770, the GTX 760 is fairly highly clocked for a GK104 part. Its base clockspeed of 980MHz is 65MHz (7%) higher than both the GTX 670 and GTX 660 Ti, which helps to offset the lost SMX. At the same time this gives the GTX 760 more ROP throughput than even the GTX 670. The end result is a product whose performance bounces between the GTX 660 Ti and GTX 670 depending on the workload, and typically is biased towards the GTX 670. Altogether we're looking at about 92% of the GTX 660 Ti's shading/texturing performance and 43% more ROP throughput. Memory clocks on the other hand are unchanged at 6GHz, but thanks to its full 256-bit memory bus GTX 760 will have 33% more memory bandwidth than GTX 660 Ti.
On the performance front GTX 760's other trick compared to the GTX 600 series parts it replaces is that like the GTX 770 it's a GPU Boost 2.0 part, meaning its boost performance is further min-maxed than GPU Boost 1.0 parts. Thermals willing, our sample boosts to 1149MHz out of the box – the official boost clock is over 100MHz lower at 1033MHz – a bigger and more frequent boosting outcome than what we saw with the GTX 660 Ti. So even though GTX 760 still theoretically has lower shader performance than GTX 660 Ti, there's only a single benchmark where the GTX 760 doesn't beat its predecessor, and it's a non-gaming benchmark at that.
Meanwhile GTX 760's TDP will stand at 170W, the same TDP as the GTX 670. Accounting for throttling differences from GPU Boost 2.0 that will have GTX 760 reaching its TDP more often, GTX 760 will essentially draw as much or more power than GTX 670, never mind GTX 660 Ti. Like GTX 770 NVIDIA has little choice but to raise their TDP here at any given tier in order to unlock more performance. 170W in turn is a rather intentional number that will allow NVIDIA's partners to recycle their GTX 670 designs since the maximum power draw (and maximum heat generation) remain unchanged. Idle power on the other hand is going to be marginally lower, as like the GTX 770 the GTX 760 implements a lower idle clock state that shaves off a couple of watts.
Moving on, with this launch we'll see NVIDIA shrink their desktop product stack a bit. With GK110 based cards at the high-end of NVIDIA's stack and price compression below $500 pushing prices down, the desktop GK104 product stack is being reduced from 3 cards – GTX 660 Ti, GTX 670, GTX 680 – to just two cards. NVIDIA's configurations leave them an out should they ever need it, but as it stands these will be the only two GK104 cards in NVIDIA's 700 series lineup, with GTX 770 and GTX 760 splitting up the old market segments.
With a launch price of $249, GTX 760 is another aggressive launch for NVIDIA compared to both their previous generation products and AMD's current lineup, with NVIDIA now offering performance notably better than what have been more expensive products. Other than its lower 150W TDP, GTX 660 Ti is fully redundant at this point; GTX 760 is faster and cheaper. GTX 670 is still going to be a hair faster, but with GTX 670 prices still above $300 it's not being placed at a value sweet-spot, and like the rest of the GK104 based 600 series lineup is slowly being phased out entirely.
The more dynamic matchup will be GTX 760 versus AMD's product lineup. $249 cuts right down the middle of AMD's current product lineup, putting GTX 760 between the Radeon HD 7870 and 7950. At the same time NVIDIA's goal here is to beat the 7950 in performance – keep in mind the GTX 660 Ti tied the original (non-boost) 7950 – which is something the GTX 760 doesn't have too much trouble with. AMD and their partners have already prepared for this somewhat, as after-rebate prices on 7950 cards have come down from about $300 to about $280 in the last month, but that means GTX 760 still carries a $30 lower price tag. Once more there are no bundles in play on the NVIDIA side, so the wildcard on the AMD side will once more be their 4 game Level Up with Never Settle Reloaded bundle.
Finally, this is another hard launch. GTX 760 cards will be available from the usual retailers and e-tailers. Meanwhile since GTX 760 is designed to be a drop in replacement for GTX 670 on board designs, NVIDIA's partners will be launching with fully custom cards right away, most of them based on their previous customized GTX 670 designs. Reference style cards will likely be few in number, but unlike the GTX 770 launch (with its relatively expensive Titan cooler) the GTX 670/760 reference cooler does not price itself out of the market.

Crysis 1 was an excellent template for the kind of performance required to driver games for the next few years, and Crysis 3 looks to be much the same for 2013.

Very informative review. The GTX 760 is undoubtedly a potential buy.
I wonder if my i5-2310 2.9GHz (locked CPU) would manage to handle this little beast fully overclocked? Reply -

Hi there! Yes, I realize my last travelogue still has a few chapters left to go, but in the meantime I'm heading back to Thailand with my sister (Karen) and my best friend (Ben) for 2 weeks of sweating & swimming & sightseeing. As I'm rather lazy about updating online journals these days, this will be something of a tag-team effort. Hope you enjoy reading about our wacky adventures as much as we enjoy living them...

Oil, Gas, & Mining
From the seismic lines that criss-cross wilderness and farmland in the Peace district to the toxic run-off from the abandoned Britannia mine site just outside of Vancouver, the oil and gas and mining industries are heavy contributors to some of BC's most difficult environmental problems. West Coast has made significant contributions to law reform in these areas. For example, by:
- Being one of the first groups in BC to raise concerns about coalbed methane (CBM) development, and then taking steps to educate and empower communities through outreach activities and the publication of two very popular guides: Coalbed Methane: A Citizen's Guide (2003) and Coalbed Methane: A BC Local Government Guide (2006). In 2008, the Provincial government placed a moratorium on CBM development in the Sacred Headwaters, and made a commitment to requiring reinjection of CBM produced water, a key best practice in this area.
- Being one of the loudest voices calling on the provincial government to enact a regulatory regime for the oil and gas sector that better protects landowners, communities and the environment. In May 2008, the government passed a new Oil and Gas Activities Act. The new Act will have improved rules regarding public consultation, environmental protection and compliance and enforcement.
- Conducting BC's first comprehensive review of Free Entry Laws - the laws that give mining companies rights to enter private land for the purpose of conducting mining activities.

Now that it's the weekend, I think a sex column is in order. Actually, let's loosen the ties and squeeze in three:
There's been much ado about this. "U of T sponsoring an orgy?!" has been the biggest cry. Despite the fact the organizers say that's not the case. It's just a safe and casual place to explore sexuality (you can only get naked after 7 p.m. and can't do it in the hot tub, but every other time and place is game.)
I've got one strong argument in favour and two technical points against.
Pro: Do what you want. With who you want. Where you want. What do I care? I'm a libertarian. Consenting adults should be able to do in private whatever they damn well please. Drop the moralizing because I can promise you our debt load will ruin Western civilization long before bacchanalian orgies will.
Cons: But it's not really private life, is it? Each student pays 25¢ a year to fund this club (the cash adds up). You can opt-out of this fee, but as a former U of T student I can tell you it's hard enough to even know what your dues are paying for, let alone opt out of them.
More importantly there's a "social justice activism" undercurrent to it. The organizer is quoted in the Toronto Star saying, "sex positivity is all about co-existing, and not having disagreements about what is morally right or appropriate."
Uh-oh. It's all about inclusion and diversity and all those buzzwords, isn't it? I can imagine showing up at the event and being forced to get it on with a one-armed refugee crossdresser in the name of inclusivity.
Let's be honest. University students don't need any bureaucracy to help them explore their sexuality. They've been doing it since dorms were created.
Then there's a story about the polyamorous community — people who are committed to multiple partners. "Polyamorists like Stephane and Samantha want to be accepted by mainstream society in the way gays and lesbians have been accepted."
What does this mean? It's not like they're being persecuted. The editor's intro suggests, "The dream, I suppose, would be a government form on which you could define your relationship with a choice of boxes: Married/ common law, single or poly."
Again: Get your kink on, do what you want. But with talk like this, will we have to create a Ministry for Polyamorous Peoples, an amendment to the charter, special tax exemptions?
Geez people, just live your life. Stop trying to paint yourself as a neglected special interest group.
A shame. She shot the films before she was a teacher and needed the cash.
Can't people move on with their lives?
And, let's face it, with her in the room you can bet the Grade 8 boys would have stellar attendance and participation.
