The Wall Street Journal
written by Adam Entous, Julian E. Barnes and Nour Malas
Thursday September 12, 2013
A secretive Syrian military unit at the center of the Assad regime's chemical weapons program has been moving stocks of poison gases and munitions to as many as 50 sites to make them harder for the U.S. to track, according to American and Middle Eastern officials.
The movements of chemical weapons by Syria's elite Unit 450 could complicate any U.S. bombing campaign in Syria over its alleged chemical attacks, officials said. It also raises questions about implementation of a Russian proposal that calls for the regime to surrender control of its stockpile, they said.
U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies still believe they know where most of the Syrian regime's chemical weapons are located, but with less confidence than six months ago, U.S. officials said.
Secretary of State John Kerry met Thursday in Geneva with his Russian counterpart to discuss a road map for ending the weapons program. The challenges are immense, Mr. Kerry said.
The U.S. alleges a chemical-weapons attack by the Syrian government on Aug. 21 killed more than 1,400 people, including at least 400 children. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday again denied any involvement in a chemical attack, but he said his government was prepared to sign an agreement banning the use of chemical weapons. Syrian officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment on the weapons.
Unit 450—a branch of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center that manages the regime's overall chemicals weapons program—has been moving the stocks around for months, officials and lawmakers briefed on the intelligence said.
Movements occurred as recently as last week, the officials said, after Mr. Obama said he was preparing to launch strikes.
The unit is in charge of mixing and deploying chemical munitions, and it provides security at chemical sites, according to U.S. and European intelligence agencies. It is composed of officers from Mr. Assad's Alawite sect. One diplomat briefed on the unit said it was Alawite from "janitor to commander."
U.S. military officials have looked into the possibility of gaining influence over members of Unit 450 through inducements or threats. "In a perfect world, you would actually like to co-opt that unit. Who cares who pays them as long as they sit on the chemical weapons," said a senior U.S. military official.
Although the option remains on the table, government experts say the unit is so close-knit that they doubt any member could break ranks without being exposed and killed.
The U.S. estimates the regime has 1,000 metric tons of chemical and biological agents. "That is what we know about. There might be more," said one senior U.S. official.
The regime traditionally kept most of its chemical and biological weapons at a few large sites in western Syria, U.S. officials said. But beginning about a year ago, the Syrians started dispersing the arsenal to nearly two dozen major sites.
Unit 450 also started using dozens of smaller sites. The U.S. now believes Mr. Assad's chemical arsenal has been scattered to as many as 50 locations in the west, north and south, as well as new sites in the east, officials said.
The U.S. is using satellites to track vehicles employed by Unit 450 to disperse the chemical-weapons stocks. But the imagery doesn't always show what is being put on the trucks. "We know a lot less than we did six months ago about where the chemical weapons are," one official said.
The movements, activities and base locations of Unit 450 are so sensitive that the U.S. won't share information with even trusted allies in the opposition for fear the unit would be overrun by rebels, said current and former U.S. officials.
The U.S. wants any military strikes in Syria to send a message to the heads of Unit 450 that there is a steep price for following orders to use chemical weapons, U.S. officials said.
At the same time, the U.S. doesn't want any strike to destabilize the unit so much that it loses control of its chemical weapons, giving rebels a chance to seize the arsenal.
"Attacking Unit 450, assuming we have any idea where they actually are, would be a pretty tricky affair because…if you attack them you may reduce the security of their weapons, which is something we certainly don't want," said Jeffrey White, a veteran of the Defense Intelligence Agency and a defense fellow at The Washington Institute.
Within Syria, little is known about Unit 450 or the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center. One of the buildings is in a sprawling complex on the outskirts of Damascus.
Even high-ranking defectors from the Syrian military that form the core of the rebel insurgency—including those who served in units trained to handle chemical attacks—said they hadn't heard of Unit 450.
The Pentagon has prepared multiple target lists for possible strikes, some of which include commanders of Unit 450.
But a senior U.S. official said no decision has been made to target them, reflecting the challenge of sending a message to Unit 450 without destabilizing it.
In some respects, officials said, the hands-on role that Unit 450 plays in safeguarding the regime's chemical weapons secrets makes it too valuable for the U.S. to eliminate, even though the U.S. believes the unit is directly responsible for the alleged chemical weapons abuses.
The Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center answers only to Mr. Assad and the most senior members of his clan, according to U.S. and European officials. Attack orders are forwarded to a commanding officer within Unit 450.
If the Russians clinch a deal for Mr. Assad to give up his chemical weapons, any prospective United Nations-led force to protect inspectors and secure storage sites would likely need to work closely with Unit 450 and the research center, current and former administration officials said.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said that President Barack Obama directed him to plan for "a militarily significant strike" that would deter the Assad regime's further use of chemical weapons and degrade the regime's military capability to employ chemical weapons in the future.
But officials said the U.S. doesn't plan to bomb chemical weapons sites directly because of concerns any attack would disperse poison agents and put civilians at risk.
In addition to satellites, the U.S. also relies on Israeli spies for on-the-ground intelligence about the unit, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
Though small in size, Unit 450 controls a vast infrastructure that makes it easier for the U.S. and Israel to track its movements. Chemical weapons storage depots are guarded by the unit within larger compounds to provide multiple layers of security, U.S. officials said.
Whenever chemical munitions are deployed in the field, Unit 450 has to pre-deploy heavy equipment to chemical mixing areas, which the U.S. and Israel can track.

I first met Dave back in 2002, at an SDForum (now SVForum) volunteer dinner. I was one of the chairs of the Startup SIG (special interest group), while Dave was one of the chairs of the Venture Finance SIG (the two SIGs have since merged). Back then, Dave was "just" working at PayPal overseeing their developer program. He wasn't famous. Heck, this even pre-dated the concept of "the PayPal Mafia."
I wish I could say that on that first night, I thought, "Wow, that guy is going to change the way that seed financing happens." I think my actual thoughts were more along the lines of, "He seems like a cool guy. He does seem to swear a lot."
Since then, Dave has hustled non-stop. He left PayPal and helped companies like Simply Hired and oDesk get off the ground as a marketing consultant. He started making angel investments. He began organizing conferences and events, like Geeks on a Plane, and Startup2Startup. He made himself an indispensable part of the Silicon Valley ecosystem.
A few years ago, I attended a special event for angel investors. At the time, I asked Dave why he worked so hard. He replied, "Hey, I haven't made it big yet. I'm hustling so I can make it big."
Just the other day, I attended his company 500 Startups' first Demo Day. Entrepreneur after entrepreneur, many from the far corners of the globe, pitched their ideas to an all-star audience of angels (most of whom became friends of Dave over the years). 500 Startups occupies the entire penthouse floor of the tallest building in Mountain View, and has made nearly 200 investments.
Nobody gave anything to Dave. Maybe he had some luck along the way, but he also works harder than anyone else in the business. He still swears a lot, but now an audience of millions hears his expletive deleteds.
Dave would probably tell you that he hasn't made it big yet, and in the sense of owning a big piece of a billion dollar exit, he's probably right. But I've got a feeling that will come in time, and regardless of whether that comes, he's still made a bigger impact on the startup ecosystem than just about any other investor around.
This seems to be a recurring theme in my blog posts, but I'll say it again. 9 years ago, Dave was a middle-manager at a startup called PayPal. Today, he's a globetrotting investor who appears on national television, largely through dint of hard work. What are you going to do with your next 9 years? Just do it.
(You know, Nike had a lot of success with bald spokesmen in the past; maybe Dave has a future there!)

Americans shunning jeans for 'yoga pants'
Jeans long have been a go-to staple in closets across the country. After all, not many pieces of clothing are so comfortable they can be worn daily, yet versatile enough to be dressed up or down.
But sales of the iconic blues fell 6 percent during the past year after decades of almost steady growth. Why? People more often are sporting yoga pants and leggings instead of traditional denim.
The shift is partly due to a lack of new designs since brightly coloured skinny jeans were a hit a couple years back. It's also a reflection of changing views about what's appropriate attire for work, school and other places that used to call for more formal wear.
"Yoga pants have replaced jeans in my wardrobe," said Anita Ramaswamy, a Scottsdale, Arizona high-school senior who is buying more leggings and yoga pants than jeans. "You can make it as sexy as skinny jeans and it's more comfortable."
To be sure, the jeans business isn't dead: Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy, estimates denim accounts for 20 percent of annual sales at the nation's department stores.
But sales of jeans in the US fell 6 per cent to $16 billion during the year that ended in June, according to market research firm NPD Group, while sales of yoga pants and other "active wear" climbed 7 per cent to $33.6 billion.
And Levi Strauss, which invented the first pair of blue jeans 141 years ago, is among jean makers that acknowledge their business has been hurt by what the fashion industry dubs the "athleisure" trend. That's led them to create new versions of classic denim that are more "stretchy" and mimic the comfort of joggers.
It's one of the few times jeans haven't been at the forefront of what's "trending." Businessman Levi Strauss and tailor Jacob Davis invented jeans in 1873 after getting a patent to create cotton denim work trousers with copper rivets in certain areas like the pocket corner to make them stronger. By the 1920s, Levi's original 501 jeans had become top-selling men's trousers, according to Levi's corporate website.
Over the next couple of decades, the trousers went mainstream. In 1934, Levi's took advantage of the rise in Western movies and launched its first jeans aimed at affluent women who wanted to wear them on dude ranches. Then teens boosted popularity of the trousers, first among the greasy-hair-and-leather-jacket set in the 1950s and then, the hippies in the 1960s.
But teens' biggest contribution to jeans' rise was the name itself: Until the 1950s, the trousers were called overalls or waist overalls, but in the following decade, teens started referring to them as jeans. During that time, jeans took on a bad-boy image - popularised by teen rebels like James Dean and Marlon Brando - which led many schools to ban kids from wearing them to class.
In 1960, Levi's began using the `jeans' name in ads and packaging. And over the next few decades, jeans became even more of a way for people to express themselves. In the 1960s to early 1970s, hip-huggers and bell bottoms became an anti-establishment statement. Then in the 1970s and early 1980s, jeans became a status symbol when designers like Jordache rolled out more chic versions. More recently, names like 7 For All Mankind made $200 jeans, helping to push sales up by 10 per cent to $10 billion in 2000, NPD said.
Jeans have faced other rough patches. One came in the mid-1970s, when denim sales fell 3 to 4 percent, while corduroy trousers surged in popularity, with sales rising 10 to 12 percent, according to NPD estimates.
NPD declined to offer more historical sales data because of changes it made in its methodology recently, but the group's chief industry analyst Marshal Cohen says jean sales fell about 3 percent again with the resurgence of khakis 12 years ago. That was the last decline until now.
Fashion watchers say the latest decline could be the longest. The "athleisure" trend is the biggest threat jeans have faced because it reflects a fundamental lifestyle change, said Amanda Hallay, assistant clinical professor of fashion merchandising at LIM College in Manhattan. "Everyone wants to look like they're running to the gym, even if they're not," she said.
As a result of jeans' waning popularity, retailers and designers are focusing more on activewear and less on denim. For instance, JC Penney recently has doubled its selections in casual athletic looks and scaled back growth of its denim business.
And designers are pushing new versions of jeans. Both Levi's and VF Corp., the maker of Wrangler and Lee jeans, are rolling out jeans that they say are stretchier. And many brands are making so-called jogger trousers, a loose-fitting, joggers style that has elastic cuffs at the bottom of the leg.
"If casualisation is what everyone is looking for, we can push the innovation," said James Curleigh, president of the Levi's brand.
It's too early to tell whether the new styles will help jeans regain popularity. Jennifer Romanello, for one, said she's not interested in them.
"If I want yoga pants, I will buy yoga pants," said the publishing executive from Rockville Centre, New York. "I just don't see jeans crossing the line to be yoga pants."

Djokovic stuns Murray in Shanghai
SHANGHAI - Reuters
Djokovic of Serbia kisses his trophy after winning the Shanghai Masters. REUTERS PhotoNovak Djokovic exacted revenge on Andy Murray for his U.S. Open final defeat by saving five match points to outlast the Briton 5-7, 7-6, 6-3 to win the Shanghai Masters title yesterday.
The resilient Serbian fought back from the brink of defeat, trailing by a set and 5-3 before staving four match points in the tiebreak to force a tense decider.
The world number two then broke Murray, winner in Shanghai for the last two years, in the seventh game and again at 5-3, prevailing on his third match point to triumph when his opponent went long.
Djokovic had lost to Murray in their last two meetings, the U.S. Open final at Flushing Meadows in September in which the Scot secured his first grand-slam triumph, and the semi-finals of the Olympics in London.
"It was a thrilling match...very long - 3 1/2 hrs for best of three is quite long. But I have got used to it," Djokovic said.
"Whenever I play Andy I know it's going to be a grueling fight, a lot of long rallies. It could have gone either way.
"I could not say I dominated the match because all three sets were very close and he had some match points and opportunities to finish the match. I could have easily been a runner-up today but I'm very proud of my fight."
An extraordinary topsy-turvy first set featured seven breaks, both players gaining an advantage before handing it straight back.
Djokovic led 2-0, world number three Murray 3-2 and Djokovic again at 5-4.
The decisive moment came when Djokovic went wide with a forehand volley to be broken for the fourth time and hand Murray a 6-5 lead.
His emotions boiling over, the angry Serb obliterated his racket with three hefty smashes before tossing it towards his chair, receiving a warning in the process.
Murray appeared to have another Shanghai title at his mercy when Djokovic fluffed his lines again and was staring at defeat at 5-3 down in the second set.
The Scot had match point on his own serve at 5-4 but a battling Djokovic dug deep, averted the danger and then seized his own chance to break back for 5-5.
Like the first set, a pulsating tiebreak swung back and forth with Djokovic staving off four match points, including two at 6-4 down.
He then spurned three set points himself before finally prevailing 13-11, taking the set with a driving forehand volley.
Murray had outlasted Djokovic at the U.S. Open in a five-set thriller, but fortunes were reversed this time in the Chinese port city with the Serb finding the greater stamina and willpower.
Sensing that his opponent was tiring, Djokovic broke to lead 4-3 in the decider, consolidated on his own serve and broke again to secure his fifth title of the season. He now leads Murray 9-7 in their head-to-head meetings.
"It was a disappointing one to lose but I've lost tougher matches than that before, in the biggest events, so I'm sure I'll recover from it pretty well," Murray said.

Gabon's President destroys ivory and commits to zero tolerance for wildlife crime
Posted on 27 June 2012
Today, more than 1,200 ivory tusks plus assorted ivory carvings were burned publicly as Gabon sent out a strong signal demonstrating its commitment to tackle elephant poaching and illegal wildlife trade.Libreville, Gabon–Today, more than 1,200 ivory tusks plus assorted ivory carvings were burned publicly as Gabon sent out a strong signal demonstrating its commitment to tackle elephant poaching and illegal wildlife trade.
This event follows a period of intense poaching pressure in Central Africa, where the illegal killing of elephants for ivory is at record levels.
#WWF supports Gabon as it burns 1000's of ivory tusks in move against poaching and illegal trade ow.ly/bR9wf #gabonivoryburn @wwf— Jim Leape (@jimleape) June 27, 2012
A number of dignitaries were present for this historic event, including the President of Gabon, Ali Bongo, who lit the pyre earlier today.
President Bongo spoke of the importance of inviting the international community to witness the symbolic act of destroying the country's ivory, noting it was a matter of national security.
He told the assembled dignitaries about the special unit Gabon had created within the National Parks Agency to tackle ivory poaching, and how Gabon, as the country with the most elephants in Central Africa, was issuing a strong message to the poachers and traffickers that their actions were unacceptable.
Crucially, President Bongo reiterated that Gabon would work with the Department of Justice to review penalties, and ensure people committing wildlife crimes would be prosecuted and sent to prison.
"Gabon has a policy of zero tolerance for wildlife crime and we are putting in place institutions and laws to ensure this policy is enforced," he said.
President Bongo also underlined the need for regional co-operation to tackle wildlife crime, whereby anti-poaching measures in one country needed to be followed up by action in neighbouring countries too.
"Today we have witnessed a paramount event for the Central Africa region. It is hugely symbolic that a head of state has taken leadership in sending a signal to the outside world that illegal wildlife trafficking will not be tolerated" said Stefanie Conrad, WWF Central Africa Regional Office Representative.
"Illegal wildlife trade is a crime; it is the fifth largest illicit trade worldwide, and it finances insecurity across Africa. WWF will encourage similar symbolic events in the region to burn and destroy all illegal poached ivory."
WWF and TRAFFIC worked with Gabon to independently audit its government-owned ivory stockpile before it was destroyed to ensure that all tusks were accounted for and none had leaked into illegal trade.
The audited ivory stock totalled 4,825 kilograms, including 1,293 pieces of rough ivory mainly composed of tusks and 17,730 pieces of worked ivory.
"TRAFFIC keenly anticipates that other nations will follow Gabon's lead in dealing with their stockpiled ivory and either take it right out of the equation or put in place robust ivory management systems to ensure it can never leak into illegal trade," said Tom Milliken, TRAFFIC's ivory trade expert.

Jill Filipovic, feminist blogger, claims that the TSA sent her this note about an item in her luggage.
"This is what TSA will do when they inspect a bag you checked and find a, um, 'personal item'" she wrote on her personal blog, along with a picture of the TSA's notice of inspection.
The "item" in question was a "$15 Bullet Vibrator from Babeland" Filipovic told New York Magazine.
Filipovic, both offended and laughing, has decided to discontinue use, "since I have no idea if the TSA agents manhandled it."

(photo). With its potent tonal combination of Vintage Noiseless single-coil Stratocaster neck and middle pickups and a powerful Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucking bridge pickup, it's a fine instrument in the conventional manner. Engage the built-in Fishman TriplePlay system, which wirelessly transmits MIDI data to your computer to create virtually unlimited sounds with a wealth of performance, composing and recording features. The Fishman hex pickup, TriplePlay D-pad controller and MIDI volume control are all built into the front of the guitar, with the TriplePlay wireless controller built into the back. The wireless controller transmits the signal from the hex pickup to the included USB transceiver, which plugs into the computer (a handy clip on the back of the headstock holds the transceiver when not in use). For charging the unit, a power supply and micro-USB cable that connects to the TriplePlay wireless controller are included.
Also, the mini-USB output on the side of the lower bout digitally transmits the audio signals from the three Stratocaster pickups to your computer using the included USB cable. The adjacent 1/8" output jack lets you monitor the proceedings with headphones and has its own volume control on the front of the guitar.
Once the signal reaches your computer—from the TriplePlay system or from the mini-USB output—all the software you need to record, edit and play back your sounds comes in an included USB flash drive that contains Fishman TriplePlay, IK Multimedia SampleTank 2.5 and AmpliTube Custom Shop, and Native Instruments Komplete Elements (additional software such as Notion Progression and PreSonus Studio One Artist available for free download with product registration).
The guitar also features a maple neck with "modern C" profile and satin finish, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, standard master volume control and ¼" output jack, standard five-way pickup switching, three-ply parchment pickguard, and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles. Available in Black and 3-color Sunburst gloss finishes. Deluxe gig bag is included.
The Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Plus Top with iOS Connectivity lets you expand the sonic possibilities of the guitar by plugging it straight into iOS devices -iPhone, iPad, iPod or computer—with no need for any external devices—for easy recording, editing, monitoring and more.
The USB output and 1/8" stereo headphone output on the side of the lower bout deliver the 'other world' of sonic versatility and creativity. Use the included USB mini-B to Lighting cable to connect the guitar directly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod, or use the included USB mini-B to USB Type A cable to connect directly to your Mac or PC. A custom USB mini-B to MFi 30-pin cable for connection to older iPhone, iPad and iPod models is available.
And to top it all off, it's a gorgeous guitar with a beautiful flame maple top in a choice of Aged Cherry Burst or Tobacco Sunburst gloss finishes. Other features include a maple neck with "modern C" profile and gloss finish, maple or rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, single-coil neck and middle pickups, humbucking bridge pickup, five-way switching and three white plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone, headphone volume), three-ply parchment pickguard and vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles.
The Fender
Select Stratocaster Exotic Maple Quilt
and Stratocaster
HSS Exotic Maple Flame
guitars certainly live up to their names, with an atypical and highly distinctive wood figure in their flame maple top. No two instruments are identical, and the swirling, almost marbled quality of the flame wood figure is highlighted to even more beautiful effect by the guitar's satin nitro-lacquer finish in Iced Tea Burst (Stratocaster) and Bing Cherry Burst (Stratocaster HSS). Exotic creations indeed, they launch the Fender Select series into 2014 with more style and performance than ever, including a striking "channel-bound" birds-eye maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard on the Stratocaster (maple on the HSS), with a compound radius (9.5"-14"). This inlaid fingerboard design imparts an elegant appearance and an amazingly comfortable fretting-hand feel in which both edges are pleasingly rounded, with no side seam between neck and fingerboard.
Other premium features include a comfortably contoured neck heel on the alder body, rosewood neck with thick "modern C" profile and hand-rubbed oil finish, 21 medium jumbo frets and black pearloid inlays, single-coil Fender Select Stratocaster pickups (HSS features Twin-Head Vintage Humbucking pickup in the bridge position), five-way switching, three-ply parchment pickguard and aged white control knobs, Bi-Flex truss rod system, two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, deluxe staggered tuners, Micro-Tilt neck adjustment and Fender Select headstock medallion. Includes Fender Select tweed case, guitar strap, cable and polishing cloth.

The Social Outfit
The Social Outfit, based on the successful Social Studio in Melbourne's model of fashion social enterprise working with talented people from refugee communities is hoping to open its doors in Newtown in 2013. At the helm is Jackie Ruddock from What Ken Be Done fame, a blog where Jackie pledged to wear 1980s Ken Done inspired fashion for 365 days to raise money for young refugees in Australia which went on to raise a whopping $25,000 for the Social Studio in Melbourne. Last night I was invited to photograph the runway show which showcased designs from the Melbourne studio, to help raise awareness of the initiative and hopefully garner some much needed investment to get the project off the ground.
The Social Outfit, like the Social Studio in Melbourne, aims to be a training and education centre for refugees arriving in Australia. In 2013 The Social Studio aims to set up a shop, cafe and fashion design studio in Sydney's Newtown, which will not only offer training but also employment opportunities for the refugee community.
Behind the scenes of last nights fashion show was a whirl of colour and excitement.
Jackie asked me to take some individual photos of the models in their outfits and this was a favourite of mine by far.
The make-up was outstanding.
This dress got a lot of cheers as it walked down the runway.
Such a cute look, I especially loved the styling with the Happy Socks and Converse sneakers.
The perfect party look.
Again the make-up was amazing.
All the looks from the runway show. All made and designed in Melbourne at The Social Studio. I can't wait to see the designs that Sydney's The Social Outfit creates in 2013!
For more informaion about The Social Outfit and to follow its story please read and bookmark Jackie's blog Show Tell Share.

Iowa City shelter wins grant to help homeless vets
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A homeless shelter in Iowa City has won a $105,000 federal grant to provide job training services to homeless veterans.
U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack announced Monday that Shelter House won the competitive grant from a U.S. Department of Labor program and will use it to serve homeless veterans in Johnson County.
Loebsack plans to visit the shelter Tuesday to discuss the grant, which he says will provide veterans with the support they need to get back on their feet and bring their skills to Iowa employers.
Loebsack's office says the grant will help Shelter House offer occupational, classroom and on-the-job training for veterans. Shelter House will also help veterans search for jobs and find them placements.

Espanol (Rudy Altamirano) 1(760) 207-6801
Nature's source of Far Infrared (FIR) and Negative Ions
One example of a Tourmaline crystal. These comes in many different shapes and colors.
Tourmaline is prized as a beautiful, semi-precious gem.
Now, as a mineral, it has become a focus of research at universities and research centers worldwide.
The reason - infrared Tourmaline is the only one mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth and is also a natural (non-manufactured) source of negative ions and far infrared (FIR) rays.
It is also known to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function. (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).
Around 1986, it was found in a research station in Japan that, even though tourmaline was broken down in smaller pieces, a positive and a negative electrode existed on both end of the crystal, and the electrodes never disappeared unless tourmaline was boiled near 1000 C.
In addition, when the positive and the negative electrodes of a tourmaline crystal were connected to each other, it was proven to show low electricity of 0.06mA.
Tourmaline, in your filter, is used to naturally transform water into mild alkaline water, reduce water clustering (what happens to our stored water) and has anti-bacterial and deodorant qualities.
Treated water applied to the skin gives an excellent effect of moisturizing and absorption.
In addition, Tourmaline generates FIR that acts like a 'supercharger', assisting the water alkalizer to ionize and alkalize.
Tourmaline has been researched and found to activate animal and plant metabolism.
Tourmaline has an immediate and powerful effect on water in the filter with the surfactant effect (makes water wetter) increasing by 101%.
Negatively ionizes water and supports extra negative ionization in the water alkalizer. (24,140/cc) / FIR (96%)
- Reduces cluster size
- Enhances taste
- Assists alkalization
- Minimizes water odor
- Increases DO (Dissolved Oxygen)
The far infrared energy that Tourmaline naturally emits causes a resonance in the body at the same frequency as water.
All matter is made up of uniquely-arranged electrons and molecules all moving in unison.
When molecules are illuminated with electromagnetic radiation of the same intrinsic vibration frequency as the substance itself, the electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed and the amplitude of that substance's molecular vibration is increased.
That's why when FIR, having the same vibration frequency, illuminates a substance, that substance will filter out the FIR and experience a "resonance absorption." This is a process known as "resonance-absorption to heat-generation" with the aid of FIR.
In other words, the vibration of atoms and molecules will result in resonance absorption.
When we feel hot, we will instinctively seek shade. When we feel cold, we seek the warmth of sunshine. No one teaches us these responses. We have an innate desire for a comfortable temperature. Comfortable temperatures are actually synonymous with a comfortable energy frequency or "wavelength." That wavelength happens to be 8 to 14 microns - the same as FIR.
The seventy-five percent of our bodies composed of water, protein, fat and other substances - all must function properly to sustain life.
When living things absorb FIR of 8 to 14 micron wavelength, they experience resonance absorption. The vibrating movement of molecules in living tissue produces an increase in energy which in turn activates cells and enhances metabolism.
FIR has three properties: radiation, deep penetration, and resonance absorption. Let's look at the relationship between these three properties and living things.
First, radiation: it means it can directly reach human bodies just like light does. For example, sunlight, which is also radiation, reaches earth through the vastness of space.
Second, deep penetration: FIR can reach well into subcutaneous layers of the body (or water) with its deep penetration ability, generating internal warmth suitable for molecule activation in living tissue.
The third feature is resonance absorption: Once illuminated, there is intrinsic vibration of body components - water, protein, fat, enzymes. And, the interior of molecules - atoms and atomic structures - experience the resonance absorption of FIR of their same frequency. This elevation of molecular energy is known as "resonance and absorption."
In summary, Tourmaline and FIR help to provide you with the most healing and beneficial water available and will help to enhance and energize both your physical and spiritual states. The new UltraWater filters are exclusive to the latest AlkaViva models and are now available through IonLife.

ChefVille 'Once Upon A Thai' Quests: Everything you need to know
The newest cooking event in ChefVille takes us to Thailand, virtually at least. Madeline has arrived in our restaurants with a brand new Terrific Thai Cooking Station, Thai Garden, Coconut Milk Stand and plenty of quests to complete along the way. We won't waste time with formalities, so let's jump straight into finishing this event's "Once Upon A Thai" quests.
Poultry in Motion
Place and Finish the Terrific Thai Station
Harvest Poultry Butcher 6 Times
Tend 5 Neighbors' Wild Onion Patches
The Terrific Thai Station is placed via this quest window and unwrapped using three energy. From there, you'll need to collect five Thai Hot Pots, five Wooden Paddles, right Wok Handles, five Burner Collars, and five Clay Mortar & Pestles to finish it off. The Wooden Paddles and Burner Collars are earned by sending out individual requests to your neighbors, while the other three items are earned by posting general news items on your wall.
While you're waiting for these parts to arrive, you can finish the rest of this quest by simply visiting your neighbors. Thankfully, the Poultry Butcher task is completed by tending your friends' shops as well as your own, so save some time and energy by using theirs to finish this quest fast. When you finish this first quest, you'll receive two Salt, two Lemongrass, and 10 XP.
A Grilling Spree
Place and Finish the Thai Garden
Have 3 Mastery Stars for Thai Grilled Chicken
Harvest Thai Garden 8 Times
This quest series doesn't have a time limit, which makes the requirements here a bit easier to swallow. The Thai Garden costs 500 coins to purchase in the the store, and it requires five Lemongrass Seeds and five High Nitrogen Fertilizers to build. These items are earned via a combination of general news posts on your wall and individual requests sent to your neighbors. Once you finish the Thai Garden, you'll be able to harvest it for Lemongrass, which is needed for the Thai Grilled Chicken Dish.
You'll need one Lemongrass, two Chicken, and three Garlic to cook the dish a single time, but it only takes one minute to finish. Still, you'll need to earn all three Mastery Stars to finish this quest, which will take quite a few ingredients to actually complete. Once you finish this second quest, you'll receive two Coconut Milk, two Pepper, and 20 XP.
Picking Up Steam
Buy and Finish the Coconut Milk Stand
Collect 7 Bamboo Steamers
Have 3 Mastery Stars for Thai Coconut Rice
The Coconut Milk Stand is only available for purchase after you've reached this quest, but you can earn Coconut Milk yourself before making it this far by tending your friends' Stands in their restaurants. As for the Thai Coconut Rice, this dish requires one Coconut Milk, three Long Grain Rice and two Water to complete. The dish takes 15 minutes to cook, and the first Mastery Star is earned after serving the dish just two times. When you complete this third and final quest in the series, you'll receive three more Coconut Milk, two Salvage Sage and 50 XP. Again, these quests don't have a time limit, but you'll need to make it to this third quest before you can finish the other Thailand-themed quest series, which is timed. Keep that in mind and you'll do just fine.

This Dawn FC (framing camera) image shows Cornelia crater, a roughly 15-kilometer-diameter (9-mile-diameter) crater with a sharp, fresh rim. Cornelia crater has a spectacular internal structure, which consists of bright and dark material. This bright and dark material slumps from the rim and the sides of the crater towards the center of the crater. The top rim of Cornelia crater has partly collapsed and is also slumping towards the center of the crater. This crater has some dark rays, emanating from its rim, which extend for up to 10 kilometers (6 miles). The area immediately surrounding Cornelia crater is relatively smoother than the adjacent terrain. This indicates that there is a layer of fine-grained ejecta, which was ejected from the crater during its formation, surrounding it.
This image is located in Vesta's Numisia quadrangle and the center of the image is 11.5 degrees south latitude, 224.6 degrees east longitude. NASA's Dawn spacecraft obtained this image with its framing camera on Oct. 21, 2011. This image was taken through the camera's clear filter. The distance to the surface of Vesta is 700 kilometers (435 miles) and the image has a resolution of about 70 meters (230 feet) per pixel. This image was acquired during the HAMO (high-altitude mapping orbit) phase of the mission.
The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington D.C. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. The Dawn framing cameras have been developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig. The Framing Camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR, and NASA/JPL.
More information about the Dawn mission is online at http://www.nasa.gov/dawn and http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov.

With advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)—smart meters—becoming widespread, utilities are exploring a range of new opportunities the devices' advanced monitoring and control capabilities can allow. While some of these approaches—such as real-time electricity pricing and demand-response programs—require customer participation, utilities also are eyeing options that could reduce a consumer's electricity use (and bills) without that customer turning off a single light switch or raising an air conditioner's thermostat.
One such technique now coming to market, conservation voltage reduction (CVR), is focused on cutting the voltage delivered to individual customers. It's a bit like attaching a low-flow showerhead to a utility's distribution system. The trick is to lower the delivered voltage enough for noticeable demand reduction but not enough to affect connected equipment's performance or lifespan.
"The concept has been around for over three decades, but it's not been done in a very intelligent manner," said Todd Headlee, director of Dominion Voltage Inc. (DVI), a subsidiary of Dominion Energy Holdings Inc., one of the nation's largest generation and transmission companies.
Some companies, Headlee said, have just dropped the voltage with no means of monitoring for potential problems. They are relying, instead, on customer complaints to let managers know when to dial the voltage back up.
Several years ago, researchers at the Electric Power Research Institute and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), along with electric utilities such as Dominion, began looking at ways to perform CVR in a more sophisticated fashion. The technology was identified as one of nine smart grid options for reducing electricity use (and related generation-plant emissions) in a 2010 PNNL report.
With the smart grid, every meter is also a sensor, capable of monitoring voltage and other basic characteristics, and reporting results back to the customer's electric utility company. This is the critical advantage for CVR applications, according to Headlee. For example, many utilities have assumed in less-sophisticated voltage-reduction efforts that voltage will be lowest at locations farthest from a utility feeder. It turns out that voltages can drop just about anywhere in a distribution system—even at the meters closest to a feeder.
Having accurate, detailed voltage data from multiple points is important because CVR's savings are based on the margin between the voltage delivered and the actual voltage needed. U.S. utilities are allowed to deliver voltages to single-phase residential customers in a range from 114 volts (V) to 126V (note that the 120V you see on appliances and other electrical devices is smack in the middle). The closer a utility can get to 114V, without going under that mark, the less electricity they will need to either pay for or generate.
Headlee's company received a patent in February for its software-based approach to CVR, trademarked as EDGE. DVI is working with smart meter manufacturers to incorporate communications capabilities, allowing the units to send information to central monitoring stations. The majority of connected meters report their voltages to the monitoring station daily. However, using proprietary algorithms, the system identifies the 10 to 20 meters at highest risk for low-voltage performance and monitors their voltage status on a real-time basis. That data can automatically trigger voltage regulators, load taps or capacitor banks to add enough voltage to the connected lines to bring the ratings up to an acceptable level.
The system is attracting interest from utilities, Headlee said, not least because it is entirely software-based. Companies can leverage existing smart meters and other equipment, and this low-cost investment can lead to electricity-use reductions as high as 4 percent (compared to 2 percent reductions possible under not-so-smart approaches).
While this system remains a lower cost investment for utilities, it isn't completely free, and figuring out how to pay for it can be complicated for potential customers. In some ways, the product presents a case study of how smart-grid technology is advancing faster than utility commissioners have anticipated. According to Headlee, 90 percent of the savings with EDGE accrue behind the customers' meters. They use less electricity, so their bills are lower. However, since there is no physical equipment involved, some public utility commissions have been left scratching their heads, trying to work out how to incorporate such an investment into utility rate cases.
However, bureaucratic complications shouldn't hold up adoption for long. The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners currently is working on new guidelines, Headlee said. Consequently, some utilities are already moving forward with the technology. DVI has signed a deal with the Central Lincoln People's Utility District in Oregon, and, as of late April, Headlee anticipated up to six more utilities would be signing up within the next couple months.
"This application has already risen to the short list. [It offers] energy savings that don't impact the customer" he said.

Can we talk about process first?
It's so tempting to get straight to the issue, especially since you're certain that you're right.
The challenge is that organizations and relationships that thrive are built to go beyond this one discussion. They are built for the long haul, and this particular issue, while important, isn't as vital as our ability to work together on the next hundred issues.
So yes, you're probably right, and yes, it's urgent, but if we can't agree on a process to talk about this, we're not going to get anywhere, not for long.
If the process we've used in the past is broken, let's fix it, because, in fact, getting that process right is actually more urgent than the problem we've got right now. Our meta-conversation pays significant dividends. At the very least, it gets us working together on the same side of a problem before we have to be on opposite sides of the issue of the day.

Over the past week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen by nearly 700 points, mainly fueled by fears of a global trade war. And there's no reason to think the volatility will subside anytime soon.
However, instead of panicking, it's important to take a step back and assess the situation from the standpoint of a rational, long-term-oriented investor. And there's no better rational long-term investor to learn from than Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett. Here are five principles that the Oracle of Omaha uses during volatile markets that you can implement in your own investment strategy.
The stock market is unpredictable -- all the time
In his most recent letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Buffett said: "The years ahead will occasionally deliver major market declines -- even panics -- that will affect virtually all stocks. No one can tell you when these traumas will occur."
The takeaway: The stock market is unpredictable, and large price swings are normal. And to be perfectly clear, this applies to the upside as well. I'll spare you the statistics lesson, but a gain of 45% or a loss of nearly 23% on the S&P 500 in any single year would not be considered unusual. Manage your expectations (and your reactions) accordingly.
Over the long term, there's only one direction the market will go
"Successful investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant," Buffett has said.
While stocks can be wildly unpredictable over shorter time periods, they are surprisingly predictable over long periods. Over periods of several decades, the stock market has generated annualized returns of 9% to 10% per year. Since 1965, the S&P 500 has produced annualized total returns of 9.9%, for example, and this includes the dot-com bust, Black Monday in 1987, and the Great Recession. The point: Even the worst crashes are rather meaningless when it comes to long-term returns.
A correction or crash is not a bad thing for long-term investors
Of course, nobody enjoys watching the value of their brokerage account go down. I still look back on 2008 as a particularly traumatic period, and in full honesty, there were times when I considered throwing in the towel when it came to the stock market.
Thankfully, I didn't. I understood one important concept that all long-term investors should know: that corrections and panics are the best opportunities. When Buffett wrote his 2008 letter to shareholders in early 2009, when the market was close to the bottom, he took the opportunity to address the company's declining investment portfolio by saying: "This does not bother Charlie [Munger] and me. Indeed, we enjoy such price declines if we have funds available to increase our positions."
Think of it this way. If you were shopping at your favorite clothing store and everything suddenly became 30% cheaper, would you panic and run to your car? Of course you wouldn't -- you'd probably stock up while the sale was going on. The same logic applies here. From a long-term perspective, a correction or crash is nothing more than a really good sale.
When stocks start to fall, you'll want some financial flexibility
Look back to the Buffett quote I used in the previous section. By far, the most important part is "... if we have funds available to increase our positions."
In other words, a sale is only a good thing if you have the money available to take advantage of it. While I'm not an advocate of keeping large portions of your portfolio in cash, that doesn't mean that you should be 100% invested at all times either. Buffett loves to keep $20 billion to $30 billion in cash at all times on Berkshire's balance sheet (right now there is much more), and my personal preference is about 5% of my total portfolio in cash for the specific purpose of taking advantage of opportunities.
As Buffett says, "Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble."
On a similar note, it's important to avoid using debt (margin) to invest in stocks. While margin investing can make you look like a genius when things are going well, it can amplify your losses and even wipe your entire portfolio out during tough times. In his most recent letter, Buffett wrote: "There is simply no telling how far stocks can fall in a short period. Even if your borrowings are small and your positions aren't immediately threatened by the plunging market, your mind may well become rattled by scary headlines and breathless commentary."
Avoid a herd mentality
One fact that has been well-documented in several studies is that the average stock investor underperforms the market over long periods of time, and by a wide margin.
A major reason for this is over-trading, and at the wrong times. As stocks are going through the roof, investors see everyone else making money, get greedy, and decide to throw as much money as possible into the "it" stocks. And when a correction or crash occurs, these same investors figure that they'd better sell while they still have some of their investment left. Too many investors buy high and sell low -- the exact opposite of the primary goal of investing.
"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd," says Buffett. In other words, keep your eye on the prize (long-term returns). The short-term noise is a dangerous distraction.
The bottom line: Don't panic
To sum up Buffett's attitude toward volatile markets: Don't fear volatility, keep some cash on the sidelines, and don't be afraid to take advantage of low stock prices even though it seems like everyone else is selling.

"Engineered for freedom". No, it's not another eye-rolling tagline for the latest car TV ad, but the back-of-the-box headline for the 10th outing of Konami's annual feast of football. You might be forgiven for thinking that this is the usual marketing bulls**t. After all, did we not have the full 360 freedom to manually pass last year?
Well, yeah, but let's not ruin a good slogan. A less punchy tagline, but closer to the mark, would have been more freedom, more often. Konami loves boasting about this stuff, but it bears repeating - if only because it's actually true for the most part. The chief boast is the 'freedom to play', and this is definitely where PES impresses most this year. Passing feels crisp, responsive and intuitive, and if you can get that right in a football game, you're halfway to greatness.
Even if you're one of those players who completely overlooks left-trigger-enhanced manual passing, it's easy to see that Seabass and co. have completely nailed the fundamentals this time around. Simply knocking the ball around to feet, there's a satisfying zip to it, and fewer passes go limply astray. Likewise, AI players are more alive to the situation, and more likely to read your intentions and run towards misplaced passes or try and break into space. The system builds on the flow and excitement of last year's PES, albeit with added conviction.
The vast improvements to the animation across the board make the whole
spectacle a great deal more convincing, too, meaning that a well-timed
sliding or block tackle can be as game-saving as it would be in
real-life. If you get it wrong, the slow-motion replay will generally
reveal why, though it's fair to say that referees are still pretty
intolerant creatures when you deign to lunge in.
On top of that, the improvements to the possession system make it much more rewarding to try and patiently build attacks with hold-up play. The unpredictability of the outcomes make it the sort of game where you'll try new things, whipping in a cross after stealing possession, only for an onrushing forward to score a spectacularly opportunistic diving header. The outcomes are rarely the same, and you'll find yourself taking a punt from all angles - only to miss as many sitters as you'll score improbable net busters.

Dr. Weeks' Comment: the lesson here is that giving pesticides and fungicides might help in the short run but come back to haunt all eco-systems in the long run. Deferring to the experts at Monsanto and Department of Agriculture (all profit driven) is lethal.
"…The pollen they were fed had an average of nine different pesticides and fungicides, though one sample of pollen contained a deadly brew of 21 different chemicals. Further, the researchers discovered that bees that ate pollen with fungicides were three times more likely to be infected by the parasite…"
Scientists discover another cause of bee deaths, and it's really bad news

So what is with all the dying bees? Scientists have been trying to discover this for years. Meanwhile, bees keep dropping like… well, you know.
Is it mites? Pesticides? Cell phone towers? What is really at the root? Turns out the real issue really scary, because it is more complex and pervasive than thought.
Scientists had struggled to find the trigger for so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that has wiped out an estimated 10 million beehives, worth $2 billion, over the past six years. Suspects have included pesticides, disease-bearing parasites and poor nutrition. But in a first-of-its-kind study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture have identified a witch's brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen that bees collect to feed their hives. The findings break new ground on why large numbers of bees are dying though they do not identify the specific cause of CCD, where an entire beehive dies at once.
The researchers behind that study in PLOS ONE — Jeffery S. Pettis, Elinor M. Lichtenberg, Michael Andree, Jennie Stitzinger, Robyn Rose, Dennis vanEngelsdorp — collected pollen from hives on the east coast, including cranberry and watermelon crops, and fed it to healthy bees. Those bees had a serious decline in their ability to resist a parasite that causes Colony Collapse Disorder. The pollen they were fed had an average of nine different pesticides and fungicides, though one sample of pollen contained a deadly brew of 21 different chemicals. Further, the researchers discovered that bees that ate pollen with fungicides were three times more likely to be infected by the parasite.
The discovery means that fungicides, thought harmless to bees, is actually a significant part of Colony Collapse Disorder. And that likely means farmers need a whole new set of regulations about how to use fungicides. While neonicotinoids have been linked to mass bee deaths — the same type of chemical at the heart of the massive bumble bee die off in Oregon — this study opens up an entirely new finding that it is more than one group of pesticides, but a combination of many chemicals, which makes the problem far more complex.
And it is not just the types of chemicals used that need to be considered, but also spraying practices. The bees sampled by the authors foraged not from crops, but almost exclusively from weeds and wildflowers, which means bees are more widely exposed to pesticides than thought.
The authors write, "[M]ore attention must be paid to how honey bees are exposed to pesticides outside of the field in which they are placed. We detected 35 different pesticides in the sampled pollen, and found high fungicide loads. The insecticides esfenvalerate and phosmet were at a concentration higher than their median lethal dose in at least one pollen sample. While fungicides are typically seen as fairly safe for honey bees, we found an increased probability of Nosema infection in bees that consumed pollen with a higher fungicide load. Our results highlight a need for research on sub-lethal effects of fungicides and other chemicals that bees placed in an agricultural setting are exposed to."
While the overarching issue is simple — chemicals used on crops kill bees — the details of the problem are increasingly more complex, including what can be sprayed, where, how, and when to minimize the negative effects on bees and other pollinators while still assisting in crop production. Right now, scientists are still working on discovering the degree to which bees are affected and by what. It will still likely be a long time before solutions are uncovered and put into place. When economics come into play, an outright halt in spraying anything at all anywhere is simply impossible.
Quartz notes, "Bee populations are so low in the US that it now takes 60% of the country's surviving colonies just to pollinate one California crop, almonds. And that's not just a west coast problem""California supplies 80% of the world's almonds, a market worth $4 billion."

· Thyroid problems – Due to disturbance in the thyroid gland the hair becomes thin and falls abruptly.
· Hair Fall due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – Polycystic syndrome is an endocrine disorder for women as it causes hormone imbalances. PCOS causes immense loss of hair and dry and itchy scalp.
· Alopecia aerata – This is a very common problem of hair in which there is a loss of hair in the form of patch from the scalp.
· Hair fall in pregnancy is very common and can be checked by proper use of Ayurvedic medicine.
· Hair fall due to birth control pills – Women who uses birth control pills suffer from grave hair loss.
The severe to normal condition of hair fall treatment is very effective in Ayurvedic remedies and herbal remedies.
Ayurvedic Treatment of Hair Loss
The Ayurvedic treatment of hair loss involves pacification of pitta through a customized diet and proper lifestyle regime along with medication. A combination of proper diet and herbal massage, aromatherapy and yoga is used in Ayurveda to stop the hair loss.
Ayurvedic Dietary Recommendations for hair Loss
According to Ayurveda, hair fall is associated with the body type and the stability of the body, mind and soul. Ayurveda has described hair as a byproduct of bone formation so the tissues, which are responsible for the bone formation, are also responsible for the growth of the hair.

Bhringaraja is the king of hair, promotes hair growth on the head, and effectively stops balding.
Brahmi, Amla, Reetha and Ashwagandha is the most prominent herbs used in the ayurvedic treatment of hair fall.
These are the Ayurvedic herbs proved to be very effective in the treatment of hair loss.

Older 64-bit Macs won't get new version of Mountain Lion
Make sure your Mac can make the upgrade
While OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will usher in a new day for many Mac owners, for others it will mean the end of the line as they discover that the OS isn't compatible with their existing system.
Apple confirmed on its official Mountain Lion upgrade page what was rumored back in February - older Macs will not support the upgrade despite being 64-bit systems.
The list of supported systems includes:
- iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
- Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)
More Macs left out in the cold
Unfortunately, this means that many older Macs are still left out, including older Mac Pro, Mac Mini, and even the original MacBook Air systems.
The culprit is suspected to be the GPUs in older Macs, which Ars Technica points out are still based on 32-bit graphics drivers created before 64-bit became standard.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard saw a similar culling of older Macs, phasing out support for PowerPC systems.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will come packed with a number of new features bringing the experience closer to that of iOS with integration of iCloud and iMessage, as well as AirPlay mirroring, Share Sheets, an improved Safari, and Gatekeeper security.
