Panasonic Eye Scanner, Security at a High Price
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Misc. Tech
Panasonic has developed a BM-ET200 Eye Scanner. Guided by voice, the device identifies you at high speed within about .3 seconds. It will even chastise you to "stand up straight" without Mom being around. The scanner is usable for a maximum of about 50 individuals although it can be modified to hold over 10,000 total. At a cost of ¥315,000 ($2,732.00,) we suspect that after we are made to remove our shoes, we will soon be subject to another humiliating experience when trying to fly home for the Holidays.

Alumni land feature spot on television bridal series
Loyola press release - June 23, 2012
Stephanie Hilferty '07, an alumna from the English department at Loyola University New Orleans, and her husband, Michael Lillis, J.D. '10, will be one of three New Orleans couples appearing on the hit television show, "Randy to the Rescue," airing on TLC on Friday, June 29 at 9 p.m. C.S.T.
As the star of TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Randy Knows Best," Randy Fenoli, fashion director at the famous Kleinfeld Bridal Salon, works with nearly 15,000 brides a year. In his new series, "Randy to the Rescue," Fenoli takes his bridal beauty show on the road, traveling to eight cities across the U.S. to consult with brides, address their wardrobe challenges and make their wedding fantasies come true.
Hilferty learned about the opportunity to appear on the show when she saw an advertisement in December. After a lengthy interview process, including a written application as well as two rounds of casting videos, she and Lillis were selected to be one of the featured couples. While many of the brides have been focused on selecting the perfect wedding dress, Hilferty was actually challenged with finding a dress for her reception.
"Randy showed up with a semi-truck full of dozens of dresses and basically created a pop-up bridal boutique at the Hilton," Hilferty said. "He definitely has an eye for selecting the best dresses for people's body types. I tried on three or four dresses, but finally found the perfect 'party dress' for my reception."
Hilferty and Lillis were married in March at Holy Name of Jesus Church, the same place her parents, also Loyola alumni, were married, and where she and her siblings were baptized. Hilferty graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in English and psychology. She was an active member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and the University Programming Board. Today, she remains active at the university and serves on the board of the Young Alumni Pack.

A Down man has been stung by U.S. immigration law and separated from his American wife after traveling home to Ireland to visit his dying father.
Ruairi Oakes, 29, from Killyleagh, Co. Down and his American wife Ami, 38, left their home in Pittsburgh at the end of February to visit his terminally ill father in Ireland.
"I came back this time around for my Dad," Oakes told the Irish Voice during a phone interview on Monday, from the family home in Shrigley, Co. Down.
"I just got home in time," he said, explaining his father passed away two days after the couple arrived in Ireland.
When Oakes and his wife attempted to travel back to the U.S. last week, he was told he now faces a possible 10-year ban as he left the U.S. before he was fully legalized through his wife, who applied for a green card on his behalf.
"I didn't even try the airport, they told me at the embassy," Oakes said.
Oakes originally moved to the U.S. in October 2004 where he got a job as bricklayer in New York City. Two months later he met wife Ami.
"I overstayed my 90-day travel visa," he explained.
The couple later married in April 2006 in the Bronx Courthouse. Once they married Oakes was eligible to have his American wife file a green card petition on his behalf.
But Oakes explained there was a delay in filing their case, as Ami has been out of work. However, when they filed their application an immigration official expressed doubt concerning the legitimacy of the couple's relationship.
"The guy turned around and said, 'I don't believe you have been married,'" Oakes recalled.
With his green card application in limbo, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service issued him an advance parole document while he waited for his case to be processed. Advance parole allows for departure from the U.S. while a case is being processed – but those who are undocumented are advised not to use it, as they could be subject to a U.S. ban if they leave.
Oakes was also issued a Social Security number and work authorization, allowing him to pay taxes.
Oakes traveled back to Ireland in December 2010 to see his ill father and was later permitted to re-enter the U.S on the return leg of his journey.
"They let me come back as a parolee," Oakes explained.
However, this time around the U.S. Consulate in Belfast informed him it could be anywhere from six months to 10 years to process his case.
"My wife traveled back last week. She had to start the process from her end," he said.
"We are just really waiting," he added.
Oakes, who worked as a carpet cleaner and construction worker in Pittsburgh, says it's likely he will lose both jobs.
"It's hard being at home. There is not much about and there is no work for construction workers whatsoever," he said.
"To give up two jobs to come home to none is tough."

Severe weather warnings remain in place as more heavy rain, strong winds and large waves are expected to cause further coastal flooding.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning - meaning "be aware" - for heavy rain tonight in southern parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, southern Wales, north-east England and the South.
Up to 40mm of rain could fall in higher ground.
Story continues after slideshow...
A yellow warning has also been issued for wind as gusts of up to 70mph are expected on the west and south-east coast of Britain and the east coast of Northern Ireland tomorrow.
This will cause "exceptionally high waves", the Met Office predicted.
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency issued 70 flood warnings covering every region, urging people to take immediate action as flooding was "expected".
The agency estimated that about 220 properties have been flooded so far, miles of coastline have been battered and roads and fields across the country left under water.
The transport network has also been hit, with roads closed and trains delayed or cancelled in many areas.
First Great Western encouraged passengers travelling in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Hampshire today to begin their journeys as early as possible due to the risk of flooding.
The Thames barrier will be in operation again tonight to protect people and property along the river.
In Oxford a 47-year-old man died when his mobility scooter fell from a flooded path into a river.
Thames Valley Police were called to Osney Lock near the city centre at 6.30pm yesterday after receiving a report that the man had fallen into the river.
A police spokesman said the man's death was being treated as unexplained but was not believed to be suspicious. His next-of-kin has been informed.
The Environment Agency (EA) urged communities in Dorset and Oxfordshire to remain prepared for "significant flooding" in the lower reaches of the Thames, Dorset Stour and Frome rivers.
Ongoing flooding is expected on the Somerset Levels and rivers in the South East, including the Severn, remain "very high" after recent rainfall.
Jonathan Day, flood risk manager at the Environment Agency, warned that the risk of flooding continued into next week.
He said: "Although high tides are now falling, there remains a risk of coastal flooding, especially on the south and west coasts.
"In addition, wet conditions have left the ground saturated in many areas, increasing the risk of river and surface water flooding.
"We would urge people to be prepared by checking their flood risk, signing up to free flood warnings and keeping an eye on the latest flood updates via the EA website and Twitter.
"Environment Agency teams remain out on the ground across the country and will continue to work around the clock to protect communities at risk."
David Cameron pledged that lessons will be learned from the flooding and insisted that the Environment Agency has been given the funding to protect frontline services.
Mr Cameron told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "We're spending £2.3 billion in this four-year period on flood defences which is more than the previous four-year period.
"We have also enabled them to access other sources of money - partnership funding - so I think we're going to see record levels of spending on flood defences and we have guaranteed that right out into 2020 so they can really plan for the future."
Mr Cameron went on: "I think we're doing a lot more things better.
"I think flood warnings are better, I think the flood defences have protected tens of thousands of homes but there will always be lessons to learn and I'll make sure they are learned."
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson chaired a meeting of the Government's Cobra emergency committee today.
He said: "Surface water flooding remains likely in some parts of the UK and the Government remains ready to respond and continue to help communities.
"When clean-up operations are able to begin, then assistance will be provided."
Searches resumed in south Devon for missing 18-year-old university student Harry Martin, who was last seen leaving his home to take photographs of the weather - with more than 100 people volunteering to look for him.
Two people have already died in the storms. A 27-year-old man from Surrey was found on Porthleven Sands beach in Cornwall after he was swept out to sea on New Year's Eve night and a woman died after being rescued from the sea in Croyde Bay, north Devon.
Officials around the country have pleaded with people to keep away as dozens put their lives at risk by going to coastal areas to watch as the storm brought waves of up to 40ft high crashing onto land.
A man and child were almost swept away by a huge wave at Mullion Cove in Cornwall as they peered over the sea wall to watch the raging sea and elsewhere in Cornwall vehicles driving on a coastal road were swamped and almost washed away by a tidal surge.
Police pulled a man from the sea who had been drinking at Towan Beach, Newquay, after he had ignored warnings about the fierce storms.
In Aberystwyth, Dyfed, a man was rescued by lifeboat after he became trapped when photographing waves from a harbour jetty.
The coastal surge in recent days has tested over 3,000km (1,864 miles) of flood defences in England and more than 205,000 properties have been protected, according to the Environment Agency.
Northern Ireland has largely escaped any serious flooding or damage but, amid fears of changeable conditions, police announced plans to hand out sandbags in a number of towns close to the Co Down coast, which they believe could be vulnerable to the high tides, wind and rain.
Meanwhile, police in Dorset were warning that the potential for flooding in the county was "critical" with more rain forecast.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for the county and forecast a significant weather front moving across the area which is expected to cause more disruption.
Coastal areas are likely to suffer further aggravation from gusts of wind expected to reach 60mph to 70mph.
Dorset Police said the A354 Blandford to Salisbury road was already closed.
"The situation in Dorset is considered to be critical with ground water and river water levels already being at saturation point with more rain - expected to be heavy at times - forecast for Monday through to Wednesday," a force spokeswoman said.
"Motorists are reminded to take extra care and are strongly advised not make unnecessary journeys - there will be significant standing water in many carriageways.
"The A354 from Blandford to Salisbury has already been closed causing considerable disruption to road users who are advised to avoid the area.
"There is a potential for Preston Beach road in Weymouth to close at 9pm when high tide is expected to cause flooding.
"Should it close, it will remain closed for at least two hours and will only re-open when it is considered safe.
"Motorists are advised not to ignore road closure signs."

Breaking Bad, and the paradox of 'good' TV
The mega TV hit Breaking Bad aired it's series finale last night, and social media is abuzz with how things wrapped up. I have never watched the show, but it has come up on my radar a few times over the years. Therefore, I did some investigating to see if it's something worth adding to the Netflix queue.
Things seemed promising when I found a recent commentary on Christianity Today that says "we need Breaking Bad" because the consequences of our choices (and lack of good ones) are lived out by main character Walt and his co-horts. His downward spiral is something we absolutely can't miss, lest we spiral downward ourselves.

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the first release of Syllable Desktop, then plainly called Syllable 0.4.0. The original website and announcement are gone, and many other circumstances of the time have changed quite dramatically. The project is happy that Syllable is still here - which, judging by comparable ventures, is a feat to be proud of.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
Syllable is pretty much dead at this point. The current programmers working on it may continue to do so as a hobby if they find that gratifying. However, do not expected it to be used as a primary... or secondary... or tertiary system by anyone but the programmers working on it. There are simply too many obstacles that Syllable needs to overcome in order to be a viable and attractive system.
The pace of development is just too slow while the functionality an operating system is required to implement to be considered usable in only increasing. The amount of man hours put into it is too little.
Syllable does not seem to have any direction. The modus operandi was for the system programmers to only work on the native API while they had no problem with external developers porting third party APIs like Qt, GTK, EFL etc... Not that them porting one of them is a bad thing... but what is the rationale behind doing it now?
There is practically no community around syllable. The forums are dead bar occasional posts from the Syllable programmers and a would be OS enthusiast who just started to explore the great many operating system stopping by before moving on to more promising platforms.
Syllable offers nothing new outside the status quo. There is just no incentive for one to follow and support syllable versus another more mature and promising platform.
In my opinion, Syllable needs programmers, direction, ambition and a community if it is to become anything but a tech demo.
There are more interesting systems in development like Genode and L4Re on the Fiasco.OC kernel. There is also Haiku, albeit less technically interesting that the other 2 mentioned.

A father found strangled in his flat alongside his daughter was a convicted sex offender.
Detectives investigating the deaths of Noel Brown, 69, and Marie Brown, 41, also believe it is a "strong possibility" she disturbed the attackers as they attempted to dismember his body, Scotland Yard said.
Mr Brown and his only daughter were found strangled at his flat in New Butt Lane, Deptford, south-east London, at about 2.45am on Monday after police responded to a welfare concern.
Police are trying to establish why they were killed but Detective Superintendent Paul Monk said Mr Brown's conviction in 1999 for a sex offence, for which he served four years in prison, was not "screaming out" as a motive.
He said "nothing" had happened in Mr Brown's life in the 18 years since the conviction to suggest that was the reason for the murder.
Mr Monk said: "The offence was a sex offence, he was convicted and served time and was released in 2004 but I'm not prepared to give any more details."
Mr Monk said he was not aware of any suggestion Mr Brown had been suspected of any other offences since his release from prison, and police contact was limited to the conditions of his registration on the sex offenders' register.
A neighbour saw Mr Brown at his home at around 8pm on Thursday November 30, and days later at around midday on Saturday December 2, his daughter went to his flat out of concern for his welfare. She was not seen alive again.
Mr Monk said Mr Brown, a regular gambler who placed "very small bets" every day at the Paddy Power shop in Deptford High Street, did not visit the bookmakers on Friday and it is possible he was killed before his daughter arrived.
He said: "I don't know whether he was dismembered at that point or whether he was dismembered after Marie was killed. There's some attempt to cover up the crime, it's a strong possibility that Marie had disturbed them.
"Attempts have been made to dismember his body, it's possible Marie has made attempts to disturb that and it's possible she's been killed. There's no attempt to dismember Marie at all."

Hunchback of Rue Morgue, The (DE - DVD R2)
Gabe tip-toes 'round the acid bath and crams more parts into the man-stew...
This review is sponsored by
Paul Naschy stars as Gotho, a hunchback with slow wit, a violent streak, and a heart of gold. Gotho works at the morgue, and is in love with one of the hospitals terminal patients. When she dies, Gotho is crushed, and runs off with her body into the catacombs of the city. He goes about murdering anyone he thinks may somehow be responsible for her death, and is eventually discovered by the evil Dr. Orla, who tells Gotho he has the power to bring his true love back to life. In return, Gotho scours the city for fresh body parts for the Doctor's monster.
Paul Naschy (real name Jacinto Molina) is another of the unsung heroes of modern horror cinema. The actor/writer/producer (and occasional ghost-director) has been credited with popularizing fantasy and horror films in his native Spain during the waning days of General Francisco Franco's reign. Like the popular Italian genre films of the era, Naschy's pictures were often adaptations of popular bygone American productions.
Naschy's favourite character is the wolfman Waldemar Daninsky, which he played a dozen times, and it is these hyper violent films that the actor is most famous for. His films (for the most part) are a kind of mix of the classic Universal monster films, and the British Hammer Studio features, but they of course are peppered with a very Spanish flavour. Naschy's films are definitely time capsules, and haven't aged as well as other films from the era, but still manage to entertain despite their anachronistic nature and severe melodrama.
Naschy's work has always been violent, much more so than the majority of the output for their era. Even the various Hammer series tend to pale in comparison of the sheer graphic nature of the violence in Naschy's films. Only a handful of filmmakers (H.G. Lewis, T.L.P. Swicegood) were making splatter flicks at the time, and it wasn't until films like Dawn of the Dead hit the mainstream that such gory bloodshed would hit its peak. It's pretty tame by today's standards, but must have been shocking at the time.
I've personally been a bigger fan of Naschy's non-werewolf films. The Daninsky are repetitive for the most part, if you've seen one, you've probably seen them all. I like them, don't get me wrong, but they really do run the same gamut. I've enjoyed Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll and Inquisitor quite a bit for what they're worth, but there is a bit of the Naschy touch missing from these films. They're bigger than life, sillier than a barrel of lovesick monkeys, and contain quite a bit of graphic violence, but neither have enough melodrama or that special Spanish Gothic look.
Hunchback of Rue Morgue seems to be the general pick as Naschy's best film, though some fans will put films like Vengeance of the Zombies or Dracula Versus Frankenstein up front (both pics I've yet to see). From what I've seen of the dude's filmography the consensus is accurate, and Hunchback of Rue Morgue is a very entertaining and beautifully shot mini-epic. It's an excellent representation of working on a budget in a time before digital and even most practical special effects were available for the masses, and an interesting impersonation of Universal's classic era, with a dash of Lovecraftian lore.
Like pretty much all of Naschy's output (even his newer films) Hunchback of Rue Morgue is dated, and it will take a special kind of patience to enjoy the film for what it is. The plot moves, but is sort of scatter-brained, as the first third is almost an entirely different movie. It's kind of like three episodes of a television series. Things sort of tie together in the end, but there is a sense of the script being written on the fly, something that wouldn't be entirely uncommon for a Naschy picture.
There's a lot of heart in the project, and despite the cheesy effects and unrealistic nature of the plot, it's easy to get caught up on the Hunchback's plight. Naschy, never much of a technical actor, manages a solidly understated performance, and captures the childlike nature of Lon Chaney's original Hunchback, the one from Notre Dame. He's gets plenty of chances to murder people in awful ways, but he does it as a man, not an arm-flailing beast in bad wolf-man make-up. The film is a time capsule, but unlike other, lesser Spanish horror films of the era, manages a timeless visual quality, full of rich golds and browns. It is in this mix of striking imagery and honest camp appeal that genre fans will find love.
Over and over Naschy makes mention of the DVD's superior image. I'll admit that it looks pretty good for a thirty-two year old film from a region and era not known for caring for their B-movie negatives, but Anchor Bay has managed better results with even older Naschy properties. The print in understandably grainy, but this adds some charm. Colours are nice and appear accurately produced; as I said, it's a very golden-brown film. The problem is in the contrast levels, they're far too sharp. Whites bloom and gleam, and end up washing out all the film's outdoor sequences. The black levels are impressive, but at a pretty high cost. Highlights are pretty ridiculous. The anamorphic enhancement is welcome, and compression artefacts are minimal considering.
I don't think anyone expected miracles in the audio department, and I don't think anyone will be surprised here. If you speak English, you're stuck watching the film in dubbed English (yes there are English subtitles, but they are for the commentary track). This is okay because the dubbing is actually pretty good, and watching an admittedly cheesy movie dubbed sometimes adds to the whole experience (if you've only seen Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky in its original Cantonese you're missing out).
The track is tinny, and vocals often too loud on the mix. Very loud noises, like screaming rats, peak as distorted. The track, which is Mono (all three language tracks are Mono), obviously has little in the way of spatial representation, but does have a decent depth. The stock music could come up on the track a bit at times, but sounds pretty sharp overall.
Those kind Germans at Anolis have supplied us with subtitles for some of the DVD's extras. First up is a super cheesy introduction from Naschy. We enter the master's house and follow him to a bookcase of VHS tapes where he selects El Jorobado de la Morgue, and puts it in the player. The illusion of watching the film with Naschy is eerily real (end sarcasm).
Naschy's commentary, with a moderator, is pretty sparse, but worth it when he actually speaks. Because the track is subtitled, I recommend watching it with the English dub. This way the subtitles become a bit of a fact track. Anyway, Naschy is grilled for information about the film's genesis, some of his other films, the strange 'gut monster' (it's two large octopi), and most interesting of all, General Franco. Apparently the strict censorship rules weren't really a big concern of the ruler, and Francisco was even known to watch Naschy's more violent films on occasion. It was the appointed censors that were the real problem. According to Paul at least.
The award for most original extra goes to the inclusion of the two part, original German Super-8 version of the film. Apparently. Super-8 was too short to fit an entire feature, so the format featured shortened versions of films one could watch in the comfort of their own homes. The footage is pretty well mangled, to say the least, but it is anamorphically enhanced, and is a nice bookmark in the film's video history.
Next up is an extended scene. The scene proved to be too graphic for Spanish censors of the day, though by today's standards it's pretty tame. This is an especially cool extra because Naschy states plainly on the commentary track that the scene was burned, never to be seen again. I'm sure it's inclusion was a big surprise once he got his hands on the DVD. Along these same lines, the original Spanish and United States opening credits are also included.
There is a very extensive image gallery, which includes stills, posters, lobby cards, and various video art from several different countries. It is unfortunately a slide show, not something the viewer can manoeuvre themselves, but it is set to music. It is followed by a digital representation of the original production program booklet, which is entirely in German only. This, in turn, is followed by essentially the same program in English and Spanish (not to mention brighter colours).
There is a featurette that starts the second page (almost literally, as a digital representation of a page is animated turning), which concerns Naschy and his family revisiting Feldkirch, where parts of the film were filmed. Well that's what the official release info says, I couldn't tell you exactly what was going on because it was entirely in German. It's kind of touching, but kind of dull as well.
Next is another brief featurette, again in German only, that takes place at a horror festival entitled Buio Omega (perhaps after Joe D'Amato's film of the same name, also known as Beyond the Darkness and Buried Alive). Naschy talks to the crowd, in German, fields questions, signs autographs, the works. The piece runs pretty long, almost exactly an hour, and I really wish I could understand what everyone was saying.
The whole thing is wrapped up with a trailer, and extensive filmography, and the DVD credits. The disc comes in a fine book-like package, and the attached booklet about Naschy has an English translation.
It'd be an understatement to call Hunchback of Rue Morgue and acquired taste. The film is not available in the States, so the curious will need a region free player and the will to actually purchase the film in order to see it, which may be asking too much. If you liked any of Naschy's other film, than I don't think you can go wrong. The A/V is far from reference quality, but is easily the best we'll see until a studio like Anchor Bay or Blue Underground gets their hands on the original material. The extras are solid, and the Naschy commentary is subtitled, making for a nice little set that should please the hardest core of Spanish horror fans.
You can find this, and a whole bunch more Naschy films at Xploitedcinema.com.

He meant xploitedcinema, and it was me that did their graphics.
Can you guess who does their graphics?
This site must have a great relationship with Xploitedcinema.com after reviewing all these films for them.

Donald Van Nieuwenhuise, with his experience as a production geologist and ongoing research on the impact hurricanes have on the Texas coast, understands the lengthy process of drilling relief wells and what effect a Gulf storm could have on that process as well as the overall recovery effort. Van Nieuwenhuise, Ph.D., is Director of the Professional Geoscience Programs in UH's department of geosciences, as well as Director of the Applied Sequence and Biostratigraphy Program. Van Niewenhuise can also address how a storm's path and trajectory may impact the spread of oil on Gulf Coast states.
Q: How can a tropical storm/hurricane disrupt the oil spill recovery effort in the Gulf of Mexico?
A: When you talk about the relief wells, all of the wells need to be shut-in or shut down. The (oil) capturing effort would have to be shut off, and when that's shut off you would get the full flow of the blowout while they are gone. It would take them about five days to evacuate. They'd probably leave a few people there almost up to the final 24 hours if that were the case and then get them out of the way and make sure everything was secure. It could flow for a week to two weeks depending on how long it took them to get back to the area. If you have to shut-in operations, you want to minimize the time and duration to get things operating. They would have to stop the relief well operations, shut those in and wait for a while and that's probably not as critical as the capture of oil right now because the more oil they capture right now, the less that will get into the Gulf and the better that is for everybody.
Q: What effect do tropical storms/hurricanes have on longshore currents, the movement of sediments along a coast parallel to the shoreline? Can longshore currents change the direction of the oil that has already spilled into the Gulf?
A: If the hurricane makes landfall at a certain trajectory they intensify a longshore current and that can cause a trapped-wave effect. If you get a well-developed longshore current it can actually increase the storm surge. The longshore current also causes more erosion, and why it's important here is because if oil gets close to shore it can be entrained in the longshore currents. If you get strong longshore currents to the east it could push more oil along the coast into Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Likewise, if you have a hurricane that comes from the other direction it could increase the velocity of the flow to the west and force it (oil) a little closer to Texas. ... I don't think people have a very good handle on longshore currents because it's very hard to measure them when a hurricane comes in. We are all worried about the storm surge and we overlook the fact that the wave energy gets refracted and actually squeezes water along the coast and pushes it in one direction, either east or west.
Q: Hurricane Alex hit the Texas Gulf Coast early this summer. Are we headed for a busy hurricane season? What could that mean for the oil spill recovery effort?
A: One of the things that is worrisome about having a huge disaster in the Gulf right now is that those that predict the number of hurricanes have predicted a large number of hurricanes. It hasn't gone unnoticed that rarely do we get hurricanes forming in the Caribbean this early in the season, and consequently, that doesn't bode well for hurricanes in the future this summer because all of the models say we are going to get a lot of hurricanes and they are starting early and that is very worrisome for the people working on these operations. The last thing in the world they need is a series of two or three or four hurricanes right after each other. That could shut down operations for a month if we had several hurricanes come in one after another. They wouldn't have to be large hurricanes, just Category One, Category Two, would be enough to cause problems.
Q: What impact does a tropical storm/hurricane have on the path of the oil already dumped into the Gulf?
A: I think a lot of people are worried about the storm surge coming in and dumping 400 gallons of oil in their backyard. There could be areas where there are concentrations of oil beyond what we would like to see. I don't think, in general, that will happen too much. Usually what will happen with a hurricane (is), there is a lot of wave energy, there is a lot of wind energy and it will disperse that oil significantly. It will probably be very localized that you have concentrations that are hard to deal with and will be problematic. On a broad scale it will probably help, but on a local scale it could be very devastating. If the wave energy were to focus in on a bay that's important to be protected and the environment is very delicate, you wouldn't want a lot of oil concentrated there.
Q: Is there better technology available to track tropical storms/hurricanes?
A: You never know where the focus of the hurricane is going to be until it comes on shore. As well as these models work, whenever one comes on shore we are always a little bit surprised where the main force is and where the highest velocity wave energy and storm surge actually ends up being.

(NewsUSA) – Recycling plastic water bottles is great, but, unfortunately, many of these bottles don't make it to the recycling bin, and end up in landfills instead. Alkame Water is addressing this problem and is making it easier to "think green" when buying bottled water. Their patented new water bottle is designed to be biodegradable in landfills as well as recyclable with other plastics.
Alkame water and Biosphere, maker of the biodegradable plastic used in the bottles, are teaming up in a joint venture to create environmentally friendly enhanced water. The bottles have a long shelf life, and they are BPA-free and 100 percent recyclable.
According to BioSphere, maker of the biodegradable plastic used in the bottles, the material is structured so that, once in a landfill or composter, it degrades from within as well as degrading on the surface. This composition is designed to speed up the biodegradation process by increasing the overall area that can decompose. In addition, the BioSphere plastic does not fragment into pieces during the biodegrading process, and it is shelf-stable, giving it an advantage over other plastic additives, according to the company website.
"The qualifications in order to be considered biodegradable are that the material must be scientifically proven to break down completely and return to nature in a short time frame," BioSphere notes on its website.
Results of a scientific study of BioSphere showed that the plastic had biodegraded by almost one-third after 30 weeks, which was considered a good rate by the testing company.
Biodegradable plastics may represent an important step that companies can take to reduce their carbon footprint, and the use of these bottles fits with Alkame Water's overall philosophy of health, both for the environment and for the individual.
The unique formulation of Alkame Water includes oxygenation to promote health and energy, antioxidants to boost the immune system, and mild alkalinity designed to promote maximum hydration.
Alkame Water is based in Las Vegas, Nev., and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinacle Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: PINS) (OTCQB: PINS). For more information about Alkame Water, including how to have it delivered to your home or office, visit www.alkamewater.com.

To watch a movie, Western or modern detective, is great entertainment, particularly as long as it upholds the laws and morals of this country. Mix in a little American and/or Texas history and I'm hooked. Plus, I generally prefer a happy and just ending.
Americans love heroes, particularly extraordinarily brave ones.
I own a gun. It's a shotgun. It's for protection of my family and my property. It's loaded in a way that I shouldn't miss and it will kill.
Brash? Perhaps.
Irresponsible? Not at all.
Would I like it? Never.
There are those who advocate banning guns from ownership by individuals. I don't agree with that but I do understand the feeling.
We see and hear about events that turn us inside out — gut-wrenching scenarios beyond the comprehension of most. I don't advocate prohibiting gun ownership by responsible people. I do think we're going to have to draw some serious and emphatic lines or we'll continue to see slaughters as we had in Newtown, Conn. Or the Aurora, CO theater. And, no, I don't have a suggestion but I'll know a good solution when I hear or see it. Unfortunately, we'll never end killing. It's the biblically proven nature of the beast.
As a newsman, I know and understand that reporting crime and violence is part of the job of publishing a comprehensive newspaper.
I'VE SEEN my share of violence and death. I've even looked over the shoulder of a police officer as he shot a man coming at him with a knife. Despite the officer's repeated warnings to halt and to drop the weapon, the assailant continued and lost his life. Three bullets in a perfect triangle in the man's chest from 12 feet away. It was one of the more sobering, unnerving acts I've ever witnessed.
One of the more heart-rending episodes was the crash of the NASA Space Shuttle Columbia over East Texas with the subsequent strewing of body parts over the countryside.
I've been in car wrecks, one resulting in a fatality.
Even though I've always experienced revulsion, I've had to take scores of pictures of those gory vehicular disasters. For a time, I feared I'd become immune to them. That's highly unlikely.
Recovering the body of a drowning victim, particularly a child, is especially unnerving. Death by fire is even worse.
There are several professions that I knew I could never embrace as a possibility. For me, that definitely includes anything that involves the violent death of a child or young person. Tiny, lifeless bodies will draw breath and life out of even the toughest person, often for an extended period. Part of that is the sight of blood. I don't like it, either my own or someone else's.
AT THE TOP of the list are police officer, wrecker driver, ambulance driver, medical doctor and hospital emergency room employee. No doubt the list could be much longer but those are numbing enough.
As a kid, I was around livestock a great deal. Although I never desired it, since it was part of how Dad supported our family, I witnessed the occasional slaughter of animals for food. I understood the necessity but was never able to actually either commit the act or embrace it.
True, I didn't reject it either. I like to eat but I'd prefer not to have to watch the sacrifice of an animal so I can be fed. Call it a weak stomach blended with conscience.
I'll watch the killing as long as John Wayne or some other cowboy does it and it's on a screen.

"I want to give the Lord Jesus thanks for your radio program," wrote Keisha, who listens to CMRadio. "This evening's program and the exhortation have touched my heart. It almost seems as if I was expressing these same words."
Keisha is just one of many listeners worldwide who regularly tune into CMRadio, an Internet radio station hosted by Andrews University's Office of Campus Ministries, for inspiration and Christian music.
First known as Adventist Youth Radio (AYRadio), based out of the Center for Youth Evangelism, in Berrien Springs, Mich., it took hard work, intuition and a lot of brainstorming to transform it into CMRadio. Since it first took to the Internet, CMRadio has been an inspiration to listeners' campus-wide and across the globe: from its backyard in Berrien Springs to the outback of Australia, the east coast to the west coast, and the islands of the Caribbean to countries all across Europe.
Christian music is a mainstay of the station's ministry, but it has recently branched out into inspirational programming. During the 2007−08 school year, Andrew Campbell, a University student and faithful listener, approached CMRadio station manager, Richard Parke, with an idea to create a new show.
"I had been involved with radio before and I wanted to be able to work with a radio station that shared my passion to reach out to young people," says Campbell. "As I shared my ideas for a radio show that would share different aspects of God's love to a primarily Gen X and Gen Y audience, we saw that we both had a very similar passion for ministry to this target audience." This marked the beginning of "Discovering God's Love," a ministry that considers different aspects of God's love through praise and worship music and soul-enriching discussions. Guest speakers and musicians often join Campbell to share their own stories of God's affection.
"The primary goal of the show is to give listeners a glimpse at the wonders of God's never-ending love for us, and also to hopefully bring them to the conviction that there is a God who loves them, and that whatever situation they may find themselves in, there is a God who cares and wants to bring them happiness, joy and peace," says Campbell.
CMRadio's success is evident from the faithful listeners who tune in around the world. "CMRadio has been a blessing to my life," writes Tito Lopez, a listener from Santa Barbara, Calif. "Thanks for your hard work and the commitment you have made to keep this radio station and radio programming up and running. Thanks, and God bless you."
To tune in, visit www.andrews.edu/go/cmradio. Tune into "Discovering God's Love" every Friday at 6:30 p.m. EST.

In his last official act Monday as an Independence city council member, Myron Paris voted his approval for an emergency ordinance authorizing a special election to fill the District 3 seat he is vacating.
Paris has held the seat since 2008, and he ran unopposed in 2012. Whoever wins the special election April 8 next year – the date called for in the ordinance – will fill his term until 2016.
Paris, whose wife died several weeks ago after a long battle with Alzheimers', is hampered by knee and back and issues and said he will soon move to Florida, where the year-round warm weather will be better for his health.
"Before I was on council we spent the winter there for eight years," Paris said after Monday's meeting. "I know people down there.
"All my life, I've been involved in people problems, starting in 1962," he said, referring to when he worked at General Motors and served on a union committee. "It's time for a something different."
Paris thanked the people he had the opportunity to serve, as well as the city staff who made it easier for him to fulfill his position.
"It's been an honor, and one I won't forget," he said.
Before Paris spoke, several council members praised him. Chris Whiting recalled a meeting with Paris at a Panera Bread to discuss Whiting's consideration of running for council – a discussion that got interrupted several times.
"Not only did everyone know Myron, they wanted to talk with him," he said.
"As a human being, he's as good as it gets," Jim Schultz added.
"You get better quit, or I'll start crying," Paris quipped.
Mayor Don Reimal said he probably has known Paris longer than anyone in the room, being a neighbor of his.
"He's an asset to the neighborhood, the council and the city," Reimal said.
Nomination petitions and other materials related to the special election will be available Oct. 1 in the city clerk's office. The first day for filing those petitions is Oct. 28 (8 a.m.), and the last day to file is Nov. 22 (5 p.m.).
The deadline to withdraw is 5 p.m. Nov. 25. If there are more than two candidates, a special primary election will be held Feb. 4, 2014, before the special general election April 8.
City award
At the beginning of Monday's meeting, Johnna Bodenstab, immediate past president of the Junior Service League, presented the 2013 Susan Paxton Block Award to Kimberly Bailey, a desk clerk for the records department of the Indepedence Police Department. Bailey received a plaque and a medal.
"I've never won anything this big before, so I'm very honored," Bailey said.

Nene should return soon
According to various reports, Washington center Nene (foot) could make his season debut earlier than expected and is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game at Atlanta. Nene, who also was sidelined for training camp and the preseason, participated in practice Tuesday before the team boarded a flight to Atlanta. "It's going to help, no question, but again I don't want these guys sitting in the weeds waiting when are they coming back," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said about Nene and injured guard John Wall. "We're going to wait for them to get here and things are going to be fine."
Analysis: Nene, who re-aggravated the foot injury while playing in the Summer Olympics, indicated last Sunday that he was probably three weeks away from returning to the court after visiting with specialists. The 7-footer was wary of returning early in order to prevent another setback, but has handled practice sessions without any reported issues. Nene could immediately be thrust into the starting lineup as the Wizards have scored the fewest points in the league without him and Wall in action. Fantasy owners should closely monitor his status as Nene is considered a solid starting option in the majority of formats when healthy.

Based almost entirely on Silverman's successful show of the same name which appeared on Broadway and generated considerable buzz, the movie blends stand-up with prerecorded sketches and even some musical performances. For Silverman, seemingly no topic is off-limits, as she squeezes jokes out of subjects including rape, Sept. 11 and the Holocaust.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After a scathing blog post by Tesla Motors' ( TSLA) CEO Elon Musk regarding New York Times ( NYT) journalist John Broder's test drive of a Model S, Broder has fired back. He claims he did not "consciously set out to sabotage the test." Mr. Broder has responded, refuting each of the points that Musk cited in his blog post. Musk showed data that indicated the Model S battery never ran out of energy, though Broder says the car shut down, and did not have enough power to move, or even release the parking brake. In an article, Broder mentions that he has detailed notes on the trip, citing his dealings with several Tesla employees, including Christina Ra, a Tesla spokeswoman, and Ted Merendino, a Tesla product planner. How to Really Test Drive a Car One of the more interesting defenses is that Tesla says the trip into Manhattan was unplanned, but Broder says this was "was planned from the beginning and known to Tesla personnel all along." The controversy over the test drive has become a "he said, she said"-style spat, albeit one with billions of dollars and a company's reputation on the line. Broder's article affected the stock price of Tesla on Monday when it crossed the wires, prompting Musk to go on the offensive, calling the review a "fake."
NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 11, 2013Musk has even said that Tesla was "pretty dumb to agree to an article by this guy."
@ satinsilence Wow, no surprise that Broder wrote a hit piece on Tesla. I guess we were pretty dumb to agree to an article by this guy.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 11, 2013--Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull

While perusing older threads in this forum, I found this one addressing the concept of trans colored weapons to serve as magical weapons or for an ice-themed faction. That got me thinking about the possibility of an ice-themed faction in general, and I began to think of ways in which such a faction could be used to enhance the Castle line and LEGO as a whole.
* They might be humans or sentient monsters. If humans, they could be "barbarians" with colors of light blue, tan, and white/silver in order to provide an immediate compare-and-contrast with the Crownies and dwarves. If monsters, they could be something like Yetis that have figured out how to use tools and weapons.
* Their strongholds would provide lots of options for winter and polar landscape design--white bricks and slopes galore, lots of trans-clear and/or trans-light blue pieces (including five-pointed crystals), "snow-dusted" coniferous trees, etc. Plus they would be beautiful in their own right--imagine LEGO's take on something like the White Witch's palace from Narnia.
* What better excuse to bring back the polar bear? The Snowmen could use them to pull sleighs.
* It would behoove them to have their own wizard so they could compete, opening the door for new, cool (pun intended) "special effects" pieces like GITD flames or lightning.
* The hexagonal water wheel plates from MMV could be pressed into service in new colors as giant snowflakes.
What do you all think? Good idea? Or am I smoking crack?

New Reports Reveal Unprotected Anal Sex On The Rise, Increased Concern Over HIV
New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals a sharp increase in the number of men having unprotected anal sex and the findings are heightening concerns about an increase in H.I.V. here in the United States.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of men who told federal health investigators that they had had unprotected anal sex in the last year rose nearly 20 percent from 2005 to 2011. In the 2011 survey, unprotected sex was more than twice as common among men who said they did not know whether they were infected with H.I.V.
Being tested even once for H.I.V. is associated with men taking fewer risks, whether the test is positive or negative, health experts say. But the most recent survey found that a third of the men interviewed had not been tested in the past year.
The findings are worrying because "unprotected anal intercourse is in a league of its own as far as risk is concerned," Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the disease centers, said on Wednesday as the figures were released.
So what can we attribute to the rise in unprotected anal sex?
Dr. Frieden theorizes that more men are "sero-sorting," meaning that men that are H.I.V-negative (to their knowledge) are choosing to have sex with those that they believe are also uninfected.
"The problem with sero-sorting is that it's really easy to get it wrong," Dr. Frieden said. "When one-third of men aren't even tested in the last year and a tenth of those who thought they were negative were actually positive, you don't want to risk your life on a guess."
Alex Carballo-Diéguez a researcher at the H.I.V. Center of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University maintains that young gay men are simply less worried about contracting H.I.V. He says:
"H.I.V. has become a chronic disease, and everyone knows some behaviors are bad for you, like smoking and trans fats. But in the moment of excitement, they're going to do what they enjoy."
In contrast New York University researcher Perry N. Halkitis argues that young men still fear getting H.I.V., but that they also believe that the disease is difficult to contract presuming that any sexual partners that have H.I.V. are taking their antiretroviral drugs daily and therefore H.I.V. is difficult to transmit.
Halkitis also theorizes that the collapsed economy brings more risk into the lives of individuals, which correlates with them making higher risk choices.
What do you think is the reasoning behind the increase in unprotected anal sex, Instincters? Can those numbers decrease?
The CDC's data was garnered from the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
I'm HIV neg and I get tested every 6 months as long as I'm sexually active(even when using condoms). I do care to stay on too of it and get tested because I would never forgive myself if I was the one to have passed the virus on to someone else due to my own irresponsibility to know my status. I do use condoms with men I am unsure about, which supposedly should be anyone you're not monogamous with, but I have had my share of unprotected sex too. Mostly with guys that show they take care of their health and hygiene, and talk comfortably about their status and testing habits. I feel safer with those guys. Plus I hate to say it but condoms turn me off, and I can't seem to get into a monogamous relationship these days.

International Center Required Intro Class
Please attend one of the Informational Meetings to learn all of the details about Off-Campus Study. If you miss all of the meetings, the committee requires that you attend one Introduction to Off-Campus Study Class during which you will gain a clear understanding of the application processes and begin to consider which off-campus study program best meets your needs.
To be scheduled as needed.
Here is additional information and part of the text of the Intro class, provided for reference.
Important points to know re: Off-Campus Study:
It is supremely important to make sure when you are signing up for classes overseas that each class will yield INDIVIDUALLY at least three (3) semester hours of credit on your transcript from the study abroad organization. Wabash College awards ONE WABASH COURSE CREDIT for each class listed on your transcript that is 3, 4, or 5 semester hours. Anything less will only yield 1/2 of one course credit toward your degree. When in doubt ask the local academic advising personnel.
Your GPA cannot fall below the 2.7 cumulative GPA requirement at any time before OCS.
You will apply to your actual program after you have been approved by the OCS Committee.
College policy allows you to earn a maximum of five (5) Wabash course credits, minimum of four (4) per semester on the above approved off-campus study program.
Be aware that pre-professional courses (e.g. business, law, and medicine) do not generally count for Wabash credit. If you take any course of this nature, you may jeopardize all transfer of credit.
There is no such thing as pass/fail credit for Wabash students; credit is awarded only for courses in which you receive a C- or better grade, or grade equivalent.
You must complete the course approval form with individual courses approved by the Registrar's Office (Miriam Foster or Julie Olsen), and courses in your major(s) or Minor(s) approved by the appropriate department chair, or risk not receiving credit.
It is your responsibility to communicate with Amy Weir while registering on-site at your OCS program location regarding any changes of courses not pre-approved. If you do not fulfill this requirement, you risk no credit for courses taken off-campus.
You must request from your program that a final transcript be sent to the Registrar, Wabash College. PO Box 352, Crawfordsville, IN 47933-0352.
Following instructions provided by Amy Weir, and bring the appropriate page to her for signature approval from Wabash and for mailing from the OCS Office.
After committee approval and while applying to your program sponsor, you will complete two other forms for Wabash College. They must be signed by you and your parents – no faxes.
- Financial Aid Participation Agreement,
- Waiver of Liability Form.
All forms are available on-line in PDF format or in the International Center, 512 W. Wabash Ave.. Parents may download, print, sign and mail to the student for signature.

Anti-aging Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019
Albany, New York (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
The global anti-aging market was estimated to be worth USD 122.3 billion in 2013, and is likely to record a strong growth over the forecast period.
The report features detailed analyses of the potential growth drivers in this market-the Baby Boomers generation that comprises individuals born between 1946 and 1964, which is now aging and showing a greater inclination towards anti-aging products and services.
Browse Anti-aging Market Research Report with full TOC: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/anti-aging-market.html.
Aging is brought about by a cycle of various biochemical processes in the body that affect it both internally and externally. These biochemical processes cause the body to degenerate over a period of time, impacting the health, fitness and beauty of an aging individual. The prevalence of anti-aging products and services is becoming more prominent now as the aging Baby Boomers-regarded as the most successful generation born in the 20th century-have spurred a demand for various methods that can either reverse or slow the signs of aging. Estimates indicate that over the next 18 years, individuals from this generation will attain the age of 65 at the rate of 8,000 per day.
While anti-aging products have gained wide acceptance as they can often be purchased off the shelf or with a prescription and are relatively affordable. However, this is not the case with anti-aging services and devices. The anti-aging services market is further categorized into the cosmetic surgery segment and the non-invasive treatment segment-these are dependent on plastic surgeons, qualified medical practitioners, and certified beauticians.
For further inquiries, click here: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=1754.
The Transparency Market Research report states that the anti-aging services market is projected to grow at a 5% CAGR over the forecast period of 2013 to 2019. The report further states that in terms of revenue, the market for anti-aging products is the largest and presents multiple opportunities for the introduction of novel anti-aging products that are regarded as being highly efficient and safe to use.
However, there are certain areas of concern within this market. For instance, the market is still regarded as being in its evolutionary phase, and the products and services within it are often met with skepticism by consumers. However, these factors have been mitigated to some extent thanks to demonstrated advancement of technologies and the introduction of stringent regulations for these products. This has reinstated the trust of consumers to a great extent.
Further, the report by Transparency Market Research segments the Global Anti-Aging Market geographically, analyzing each geographical segment and its potential in detail. According to the report, two regions that carry maximum potential in this segment over the period of forecast are-Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). Within the Asia-Pacific region, India, China, Japan and South Korea are poised to attract maximum interest for anti-aging or age-reversing procedures such as cosmetic surgeries, further supported by the respective governments of these nations.

National expert to discuss "Home Alone" Family Caregiver survey resultsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
When: Tuesday, February 25, 2014, 4:30 – 6 p.m.
Where: Pacific Club, 1451 Queen Emma Street
Who: This event is free and open to all members of the healthcare community.
What: Dean's Lecture Series: Complex Chronic Senior Care and Family Caregivers
The role of family caregivers has expanded dramatically to include performing medical and nursing tasks of the kind once only provided in hospitals. To understand the impact of this major shift on families, the AARP Public Policy Institute and the United Hospital Fund undertook the first nationally representative population-based online survey of 1,677 family caregivers to determine what medical/nursing tasks they perform. This report reveals the complexity and difficulty of specific tasks, the lack of support and training family caregivers receive, and the effect on their quality of life. The findings highlight an urgent need for both individual and collective action.
Dr. Susan Reinhard, the lead researcher, will present the findings and dialogue with the audience about the relevance for Hawaiʻi. "As Hawaiʻi transforms our health care delivery, we are moving to coordinate efforts of hospitals, home care agencies, community agencies, nursing homes, hospices, and physicians—and build a level of teamwork across settings. We have an opportunity to build a network of training and support for family caregivers," said Mary G. Boland, DrPH, RN, FAAN, Dean of UH Mānoa Nursing.
Reinhard is a Senior Vice President at AARP, directing its Public Policy Institute, the focal point for public policy research and analysis at the state, federal and international levels. She also serves as the Chief Strategist for the Center to Champion Nursing in America at AARP, a national resource and technical assistance center created to ensure that America has the nurses it needs to provide care both now and in the future. She is a nationally recognized expert in health and long-term care policy, with extensive experience in conducting, directing and translating research to promote policy change. Prior to AARP, Reinhard served as a Professor and Co-Director of Rutgers Center for State Health Policy as well as Deputy Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, where she led the development of health policies and nationally recognized programs for family caregiving, consumer choice and control in health and supportive care, assisted living and other community-based care options, quality improvement, state pharmacy assistance, and medication safety.
Reinhard's visit coincides with consideration by the Hawaiʻi State Legislature of a bill recognizing the expanded role of unpaid family caregivers. Senate Bill 2264 – The CARE Act – would require hospitals to provide caregivers with notice of discharge and transfer decisions and instruct caregivers on medical tasks needed to be provided at home. The bill is intended to manage health care costs by reducing costly hospital readmissions. There are approximately 247,000 family caregivers in Hawaiʻi who provided unpaid care valued at nearly $2 billion in 2009.
While in Hawaiʻi, Reinhard will speak with UH Mānoa Nursing students, the Hawaiʻi State Center for Nursing, AARP Hawaiʻi, and members of the local healthcare community. Contact UH Mānoa Nursing at www.nursing.hawaii.edu or (808) 956-8522 for more information.
