In a decision that should surprise no one, the Miami City Commission on Thursday night rejected a bid to halt an expansion of the city's massive Ultra Music Festival, allowing the lucrative March event to book a second weekend of electronic music at Bayfront Park. The first-time expansion was approved on a trial basis, with commissioners pledging to revisit the plan next year.
The debate was prompted by a resolution from City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff that cited noise, traffic and "nuisance behavior" that was disruptive to local business and residents during the three-day 2012 festival. Sarnoff said three additional days of such activity would be intolerable for area residents.
Last year's edition of the 15-year-old festival drew 160,000 people from 50 states and 75 countries to downtown Miami, pumping nearly $80 million into the local economy, according to a study by the Washington Economic Group, Inc. This year's event is expected to double those figures over six days.
An online petition in support of a second weekend of Ultra closed Thursday night with 8,660 signatures.
In preparing for an expanded festival, Ultra officials had pledged $600,000 for off-duty police and fire personnel and developed new traffic plans for Biscayne Boulevard.
In a statement Thursday night, Ultra organizers said: "We appreciate the incredible support of the City of Miami commission, mayor, Bayfront Park Management Trust, and fire and police departments, as together we have implemented a logistical plan that addresses everyone's concerns, including those of local residents and businesses, allowing us to move forward and focus on producing the first-rate, world-class event Ultra has become."
Ultra Music Festival begins March 15-17, with a diverse lineup that includes David Guetta, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5 (pictured), Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Crystal Castles, Matt & Kim, Thievery Corporation and Yeasayer. The March 22-24 lineup has not been released.

Zero stars (out of four)
For what it's worth, metal really turns in a top-notch performance in "The Collection." Among countless, insanely intricate killing devices, not one malfunctions. They brutally punish every human in sight, with each squish of blood and crush of bone cranked to 11 for maximum entertainment.
Oh, right, this sort of gruesome, miserable torture porn isn't remotely entertaining. Yet here we go again in this totally unjustified sequel to the mediocre 2009 horror flop "The Collector," in which a masked killer known as the Collector demonstrates astonishing skill at elaborately rigging heavy contraptions in high, complicated positions. This allows him to massacre an entire club of dancing hotties shortly after Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick) spots her boyfriend with another woman (The scene, aside from the dead bodies, reminded me of the "Saved by the Bell" episode when Jeff cheats on Kelly.)
The Collector also sets up in an entire abandoned hotel, where he houses his collection of humans, to look like it was the set of "Saw." Which it probably was, since "The Collection" director/co-writer Marcus Dunstan wrote the final four appalling "Saw" movies.
The hotel is so remote that one character notes "even rats won't [bleep] on it." Yet when our hero, Arkin (Josh Stewart), whose disturbing catchphrase suggests he really wants to eat someone's heart, deliberately and carelessly shoots a homeless man, an ambulance appears within seconds. Followed by a S.W.A.T. team. Sigh.
Many movies are stupid and make no sense. The suspense-free, deeply unpleasant "The Collection," which sort of but not really includes zombies and contains no concept of where one room is in relation to another, pummels and bloodies numerous base aspects of competent filmmaking and worthwhile moviegoing. It's trash that makes your mind wander to questions like, "Does the Collector hire a service to clean up all that mess? Does he take off his mask to shower? Or wash it?"
Very clearly, no one involved in "The Collection" has any awareness of when something stinks.

CANANDAIGUA � A local business had to make an expensive decision after the New York SAFE Act made the gun they build illegal.
A pistol grip, which allows the gun to fire faster and with more accuracy, prevented Just Right Carbines in Canandaigua from selling its gun in New York state. The business�made the difficult decision to change�its gun after taking a financial hit because of the SAFE Act.
The law,�signed into law in January, requires federal background checks for all gun sales; restricts magazines to holding up to seven rounds; requires checks by a licensed gun dealer for�private sales; and mandates that all-guns must be stored away safely in a case.
The small Canandaigua company is still feeling the burn, almost a year after�its gun was banned by the state.
Tom Farnogli, Just Right Carbines co-owner, said, "When the SAFE Act came in, they made it impossible for us to do business in the state, so consequently we lost revenue."
It was important for Farnogli and his partners to stay in the area. After all, 80 percent of the parts used to build the gun are made locally, so now they have created a new version that seems to be "SAFE Act proof."
"It looks a little weird, but when you hold it in your hand and you grip it like it is meant to be shot, it actually is a very comfortable grip," said Anthony Testa, Just Right Carbines general manager.
The change didn't come easy.
"We've spent numerous hours and thousands and thousands of dollars so we can make this happen just so we can do business in New York state," Farnogli said.
The owners say, since the SAFE Act isn't very specific, they had several government officials look at their design to make sure it didn't violate the act. The company has already been selling the gun to local shops. So far, so good.
"We made all the changes we can possibly make to comply with New York state law," Farnogli said. "That's all we're looking for, is a fair state to do our business. Nobody said it's not legal, so we're continuing on our quest."

Out of Suffering and into What Has Already Been Allowed
How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment? How do we stop running from "the mess of life"—our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation—and start flowing with all of it?
In small venues throughout the UK and Europe, a young teacher named Jeff Foster is quietly awakening a new generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of abiding presence and peace in our ever-shifting world. His informal gatherings, blogs, and "kitchen-table video posts" have created a rising tide of interest in his teachings.
With The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: an awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.
While Jeff delightfully admits the irony of an audio program to convey something that is beyond words to teach, here he confirms his ability to guide us in unexpected new ways to a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what's happening in our lives.
Those who enjoy spoken-word teachings will find this original audio edition of Jeff Foster's book especially engaging. Here, he guides us in the spirit of his spontaneous talks and dialogs, into the direct experience of deepest acceptance.
Candid, thoughtful, humorous—and deeply compassionate toward those searching for a way out of suffering—this refreshing new luminary inspires us to stop trying to "do" acceptance . . . and start falling in love with "what has already been allowed."
"Wise, spacious, and loving. Teachings that can free the heart."
—Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness and A Path With Heart
"There is a transmission in this book: an alive, compassionate presence that invites awakening right here, this very moment, no matter what is going on in our lives."
—Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge
"A beautifully written guide to the fearlessness and simplicity of living fully immersed in each moment of our lives. The Deepest Acceptance rings with the power and authenticity of Jeff Foster's deeply felt, deeply lived wisdom. His affirmation of life and compassion for the full range of human experience is a much needed contribution."
—Judith Blackstone, PhD, author of Belonging Here and The Intimate Life
"Jeff Foster is an honest seeker who has unraveled the many trappings of seeking through his faithfulness to the humble ground of being here, now, and his book is a gentle and helpful companion on the journey."
—Mark Nepo, author of Staying Awake and Seven Thousand Ways to Listen
"The Deepest Acceptance is the story of a merciful awareness, which offers us the heart's inborn destination we were born to discover. Love is the highest form of acceptance. Judgment is the mechanics of non-acceptance."
—Stephen Levine, author of A Year to Live
"The Deepest Acceptance is a multi-faceted spiritual gem. Every page transparently illuminates our real nature as naturally accepting, centerless awareness. Jeff has performed a great service in revealing awareness as the already-present source for living our lives in the most loving and meaningful way possible. I am immensely grateful to Jeff for bringing forth the essence of his teaching with such great power, love, and sensitivity. A timeless classic through which numberless people will connect with the source of ultimate fulfillment."
—Peter Fenner, PhD, author of Radiant Mind and The Edge of Certainty
"Written with warmth, humility, and a gentle but penetrating honesty, Jeff invites the reader to explore those places in themselves that they would most want to avoid and to find there, at their heart, the very thing they were seeking. However, long after the words have faded from memory, the intelligence and love with which they are written remain behind and that is the true gift of this beautiful book."
—Rupert Spira
"Jeff has achieved something wonderful with this honest and insightful book — something that benefits all of us and sheds much-needed light on the mystery we call life."
—Stephen Gawtry, managing editor, Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine
"This book is a constant invitation to not leave spiritual awakening where it is often left, as a search for experiences, a way to avoid the messiness of life, or some sort of head trip. It invites you into every nook and cranny of life's experience, leaving no stone unturned."
—Scott Kiloby
"Throughout The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster offers sentence after sentence that penetrate the mind and heart in a fresh, thrilling, life-changing way."
—Raphael Cushnir, author of The One Thing Holding You Back and Surfing Your Inner Sea

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Annie C
I had just spent a weekend with Jeff in Boulder.
I enjoyed his 2 presentations hence I ordered this.
I am finding it very difficult to listen to as he talks so fast with almost no time to let the words land and settle in.
Very disappointed because in person with him there is so much spaciousness and grounded being. Wish I just bought the book instead.

A 7-hour program with no chapters or breaks? I don't listen to long programs all the way thru from beginning to end in one sitting. Give me a break (or several -- with labels)!

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Tara B
Jeff struck such a deep chord in me. This is where words do not suffice. The striving for enlightenment, perfection, doing it better, avoiding pain were haunting me daily. Jeff's expression is so grounded and real--not a technique, not wise, not any of these things. This recordings carries the simple, uniting love, real deep love, of life for each and every one of us. Thank you so deeply, Tara

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Rahul S Kini
"The Deepest Acceptance" is not a spiritual practice. Nor is it a metaphysical passport to indolent inaction. It's dynamic all-inclusiveness - perhaps the most radical invitation as yet to discover one's oceanic nature in all its wavy splendour.
Thank you, Jeff, you oceanic wave!

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Cynthia L
This is the only purchase from Sounds True that I have really been disappointed in, and I have bought many recordings from here. I could not listen to it after the first 10 mins. The message may be wonderful but the repeating of the same phrase over and over and over again drove me nuts. If the repeated phrases were cut the recording would be less than half as long as it is. If hearing the same words over and over and over does not bother you give it a try.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by kurubarahalli s
I had some difficulty in assimilating what Jeff Foster was saying about acceptance. He kept repeating that 'there is invitation' and 'that is your invitation' Invitation for what? Another one repeated statement was ''That is already allowed in'. I interpreted that all that happens in one's life is predetermined and nothing can/to be done, just go with it. The whole thing sounded pessimistic to me.

Jeff Foster is an amazingly clear and inspiring teacher! In The Deepest Acceptance he offers listeners, in his own uniquely warm hearted and very accessible way, a rich and moving teaching on how to live these messy human lives with greater ease and less self imposed suffering. He is a rare and delightful gift to us!

i really liked the podcast- which prompted me to purchase this series- however, I feel it is just a repeat of the podcast- there was no real additional information. I like Jeff, he is bright and insightful - i just found this series to rather lacking -
(Posted on 1/16/2013)
- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Larry
Jeff Foster presents his neo advaita not in the bloodless way (I am consciousness in this body) that leads to nihilism for those unawakened, but rather with a startling compassion for the seeker. He has walked the walk and ended up a younger, less cranky version of UG Krishnamurti, inviting us into the natural state which is already admitted. Aligning ourselves with this already present inescapable truth leads to a relaxation that can become profound and certainly does while listening to this remarkable person. We do not get rid of our painful psychology, we recognize it as just a small part of who we are and in making that foreground background shift, we arrive feeling just a little bit better. Which is what we have been looking for all along.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Leslie N
The interview podcast with Tammy is much better than the 6 hours of this download. He rambles on in a circular fashion with the same message over and over. I still have yet to listen to the last hour. I hope it improves. The message from the podcast was so wonderfully spoken, I had high hopes for this program, but its not to be. However, I understand that I already accepted that disappointment as part of the experience even before I purchased......Podcast interview gets 5 stars.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by R. Phillips
The Deepest Acceptance is a gift to this world in this time. I can only describe his message as the manifestation of True Grace. For the spiritual seeker who has supposedly become enlightened, but is still wondering "what is wrong" or "why am I not finally satisfied," Jeff has the true answer, deep accepting. And in this message, is true rest.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Scott M
Excellent way of revealing that everything is as it IS: there is no one who can accept what IS, for it already has been accepted, otherwise it wouldn't have shown up. This frees us up to truly be with what shows up, rather than judging it or thinking that it shouldn't be there. Jeff has a great way of expressing this truth.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Jeff Bronson
This is a truly spectacular work. It cuts to the heart of how to live from the non-dual reality which the author refers to as the ocean of being. It is a great complement to the work of Eckhart Tolle and teaches us how to enter and live in non-dual reality no matter how difficult our outer experience circumstances are appearing. Not to be missed. I will treasure this audio program always and I wish to express deep gratitude to the author for presenting it and to Sounds True and Tami Simon for recognizing the value here and bringing it to us. The companion book is of equal value and is not redundant; it delves more deeply into the content contained in the audio. Not to be missed.

- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Brian B.
This was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The content is exactly what I was looking for, and the "Sounds True" style really makes it more authentic and accessible. I particularly enjoyed the part from Session 6 where Jeff talked about the guy who had expected that the negative waves would stop after awakening... This really hit home for me because that's exactly what I had been believing myself. I had expected that awakening was an escape from this character called Brian and the negative waves that went along with that identity. But as Jeff so eloquently points out in the book, the waves are always here. And are always deeply allowed.
Thank you for this book. I've already recommended it to a friend who is a big fan of Eckhart Tolle. I told her: "Foster is a lot like Tolle... Except not weird. He's like a normal human being." lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Tolle fan. But he sort of gives off a weird vibe; a vibe that I used to interpret as "awakened beings must be soft-spoken, zombie-like beings." lol. And that's what I love about teachers like Jeff and Adyashanti. These guys are living proof that awakening isn't just for the soft-spoken, quiet, reserved person. It is for everyone.
I'll definitely be re-visiting this book whenever I'm in need of a friendly reminder of who I really am.
(Posted on 10/11/2012)
- Review for The Deepest Acceptance Review by Steve Daily
Jeff takes the ideas in his book and warmly elaborates on them. A worthy companion to the book, and highly worthwhile in my opinion. It helps to clarify nonduality teachings through real-life examples, including his own. Both the book and this recording were highly meaningful to me.

New Years' Eve 2010
My wife and I will be in Palm Springs for New Years' and were wondering what events took place in the general area. Would we be better off looking to go elsewhere? I haven't found much online. We are younger (29 & 26), but aren't just looking to get hammered and be wild, just fun, good food, and a good time.
New Year's Eve events & parties / Palm Springs
I'd suggest you contact the local casinos - Spotlight 29, Morongo Casino, Augustine Casino, Agua Caliente Casino. Most of them will have live music and big New Year's Eve events.
Le Vallauris Restaurant in Palm Springs / New Year's Eve
My girlfriend and I are planning on spending New Year's Eve at Le Vallauris Restaurant in Palm Springs. We absolutely love this restaurant. I don't know what type of "celebration" they will be having for New Year's Eve yet, but sure info will come out soon. Here's what the Zagat Guide had to say about them - Still the gold standard in the desert, this French-Mediterranean gem hits the trifecta as Palm Springs No. 1 for Food, Decor and Service, thanks to an outstanding staff, a romantic old-style French dining room opening to "beautiful", "tree-shaded" patio and "superb", "classic" cuisine paired with an "excellent wine list"; it's "worth every dollar from your children's college fund" to experience what most agree is the "best restaurant in the Coachella Valley."
Palm springs new years eve
My husband and I will be in Palm Springs that week as well. We will probably go to Dinks for New Years Eve dinner. Food and drinks are great and the entertainment is fab. Very classy and you can dance.

New Years Eve
Yes, Le Vallauris is awesome and so would the check total. Be careful as we went there for handyman b'day with our own bottle of wine to learn, as the sommelier was pulling the cork from our bottle, he informed us the corkage fee was $35.
For you just under 30, the place I would go is Sammy G's Tuscan Grill. The late seating from 7 'till close is $85 pp with dinner, champagne and dancing to the great house band. The seats you have for dinner are yours for the evening so no fighting for a place to sit. 265 S. Palm Canyon Dr. Palm Springs, CA 92262 760.320. 8041 www.sammygsrestaurant.com
Ok. We know Sam, but we also know the people at Trio, Shanghai Reds, Scandia, Fire Cliff and more.
The bottom line here is that we have referred over ten groups to Sammy G's and they have all thanked us and raved about it.

Swede runners return to state
Girls team qualifies, Hahn also earns spot
Last year, for only the second time in head coach Steve Reeves tenure, Gothenburg was not represented at the state cross country meet.
This year, the Swede girls team qualified while standout freshman Collin Hahn will run alone at the Kearney Country Club Friday afternoon.
The girls knew they were going to be competing with Holdrege for the final team spot at state, Reeves said, and they ran a good enough race to edge the Dusters out by four points.
"It wasn't our best race of the year but we got the job done," Reeves said.
Sophomore Sydney Gruber led the Swedes with a time of 21:34, nearly 30 seconds faster than her season best.
Gruber was bunched with teammate Jaci Teahon who finished in 21:35.
Swede runners Jennifer Maline ran the race in 22:02. Amanda Kowalewski completed the course in 22:27 and Keely Lecher crossed the finish line in 23:08
"It was a flat and fast course and everyone was running for the top 15 spots," Reeves said. "Each of the girls ran solid races."
On the boys side Hahn was floating in the top eight spots the entire race before finishing in sixth place with a time of 17:01.
Seth Eggleston ran his second best race of the season with a time of 19:04.
Bryan Martinez finished in 19:49, Bryce Kowalewski ran the course in 20:05.
Joshua Elliot ran a season's best 20:06 while Mathiel Martinez finished in 20:15.
Hahn put together a solid race, Reeves said, finishing behind four seniors and one junior.
"He handled the atmosphere of the district meet very well as a freshman."
Cozad was a double winner capturing team honors in both the girls' and boys' races. The Haymakers girls scored 30 points and were followed by Chadron with 35 and Gothenburg with 57.
On the boys' side, Cozad was the low scorer with 29 points. Mitchell and Kearney Catholic also qualified for state.
In the week leading up to the state meet, Reeves said the teams will continue to keep an intense mindset.
"They will be pushed in practice this week," Reeves said. "Collin is a legit top 15 contender and I'd like to see our girls finish in the top 10."
The Class C girls race starts at noon and the boys Class C race begins at 1 p.m.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Snowy weather Tuesday night and Wednesday morning closes roadways and cancels schools.
While most of the predicted snow fell before midnight Wednesday, the snow-covered roads proved difficult for some drivers this morning.
Jackson Township police reported two traffic crashes closed two roads in the township including Forty Corners Street NW and Arlington Avenue NW.
Forty Corners remains closed after a traffic crash shut down the roadway around 7 a.m. Arlington Avenue between Orchardway Street NW to Mount Pleasant Street NW was closed for a short time but reopened just before 9 a.m.
Jackson Township Police said a vehicle flipped over on Forty Corners after the driver attempted to avoid a wire in the roadway. Police said the driver, who was not injured, thought the wire was an electrical wire but it was a telephone wire.
Officials were not sure when the road would open as they waited for the phone company to arrive to repair the wire.
Many area schools started Thanksgiving vacation a little earlier, canceling school Tuesday night — Northwest, Perry, Tuslaw, Fairless and Central Catholic were among them.
National Weather Service Meterologist John Mayers said six inches of snow fell at the Akron-Canton Airport. The weathermaker has moved from the area and lake-effect snows are kicking in for Northeast Ohio.
"That really won't affect (Massillon area)," he said. "There might be some leftover flurries with moderate accumulation if any."
Temperatures will be in the low 30s Thursday.
Mayers said Thanksgiving travel should not be disrupted Thursday by snow but cautioned drivers traveling east on Interstate 90 in Ohio and into Western Pennsylvania.

OTTAWA, Dec. 8, 2012 /CNW/ - On behalf of the Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, Senator Vernon White laid a wreath today at the "C" Force Memorial Wall during a commemorative ceremony to mark the 71st anniversary of the Battle of Hong Kong.
"Canadians who fought in Hong Kong demonstrated great courage and determination in the defence of peace and freedom," said Minister Blaney. "Those who fought in Hong Kong suffered greatly. I encourage all Canadians to recognize and honour the incredible efforts and sacrifices they made so that we may live in a safer world."
"I was honoured to join Veterans and their families to remember the courage and sacrifices of those who fought in Hong Kong," said Senator White. "We remember these Canadians who represented our nation with pride and determination."
Canadians arrived in Hong Kong on November 16, 1941 to help defend it from Japanese invasion. Japan attacked Hong Kong on December 8, 1941. On December 25, 1941, greatly outnumbered and exhausted from continuous battle, the Allies were forced to surrender. Approximately 1,975 Canadians, from units that included the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Canada, participated in this 18-day Second World War battle.
Of the Canadians who participated in the Battle of Hong Kong, approximately 290 were killed in the fighting and almost 500 more were wounded. The survivors were taken prisoner and spent the rest of the war in brutal conditions that saw more than 260 additional Canadians die in captivity. On August 15, 1945, the Second World War finally came to an end in the Far East but it would be December of that year before many of the surviving Canadian prisoners of war finally returned home.
Last year, Canadian Veterans of the Battle of Hong Kong received the Japanese government's apology for the mistreatment of Canadian prisoners during the war. A delegation of Canadian Hong Kong Veterans was accompanied by Minister Blaney to Japan for this special announcement.

The mission team cheered wildly after Curiosity, the largest and most sophisticated interplanetary lander ever built, descended through the thin Martian atmosphere and made a successful, pinpoint touchdown inside Gale crater.
In the hours leading up to the arrival of Curiosity rover on Mars, the mood at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, was upbeat but understandably tense. Engineers had tested and retested every phase of the complex atmospheric entry, descent, and landing (EDL) — a perilous "seven minutes of terror" during which the spacecraft would slow from 13,200 miles per hour (nearly 6 km per second) to a dead stop.
Although optimistic — they believed the chance of success to be better than 95% — the team had nonetheless steeled itself for the possibility that something might go wrong. Would Curiosity "fly" itself to a small landing zone on the floor of Gale crater? Would the parachute deploy on time? Would the untested, rocket-assisted landing scheme work as designed?
History has shown that landing on Mars isn't easy. Glimpse back in time with our FREE ebook, Mars Landings: Past & Present, and find out why so many landings went awry.
They needn't have worried. At 10:32 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (5:32 Universal Time on August 6th), NASA's Australian tracking station received radio word that Curiosity had arrived intact. "Touchdown confirmed," announced Allen Chen, the EDL operations lead. "We're safe on Mars." The 8½-month, 350-million-mile journey had come to its desired end, with the spacecraft basking in late-afternoon sunlight on the crater's floor.
The landing involved four distinct phases. Curiosity remained inside its streamlined, protective aeroshell when it first slammed into the top of Mars's thin atmosphere, about 78 miles (125 km) up. This part of the ride was abrupt and rough: the capsule's exterior reached an estimated 3800°F (2100°C) and 10 or 11 g of deceleration. Onboard sensors controlled the descent's trajectory with rapid-fire rocket bursts, essentially steering it with a precision never before attempted. This crucial innovation reduced the size of the ellipse-shaped target zone to just 12 by 4 miles (20 by 7 km), small enough to fit on the flat floor inside Gale.
Once the speed dropped to about 900 mph, at an altitude of about 7 miles (11 km), the largest parachute ever sent to another planet unfurled at supersonic speeds and slowed the descent further. Then the bottom of the aeroshell dropped away, exposing the Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) that snapped four high-definition frames per second from an altitude of roughly 1.2 miles (2 km) until touchdown.The most anticipated — and anxious — portion of the descent occurred about a mile up, when the parachute and the remaining half of the heat shield were discarded. That's when the eight engines of the rover's "rocket backpack" fired up, slowing the descent further. On-board radar gauged the remaining distance to the surface, throttling the engines accordingly. But the mission's designers realized that the engines' exhaust would raise a large cloud of dust if they burned all the way to the surface. So about 70 feet (20 m) from touchdown, the rover was lowered on a trio of nylon cables. Once the wheels touched the ground, the cables were severed. This let the rocket stage veer off to the side so it could crash a safe distance away.
Four low-resolution snapshots were quickly radioed to Earth in the first minutes after touchdown, but don't expect to be wowed by dramatic vistas right away. The first 360° color panorama of the landing site won't reach Earth until Tuesday at the earliest, once mission controllers command Curiosity to raise its camera-topped mast. Also in the transmission queue are the first bird's-eye-view images taken by a camera on the craft's underside as it descended through the final 1¼ miles (2 km) of atmosphere.
In fact, it will be at least a week before Curiosity sets its six 20-inch-diameter wheels in motion. The time between now and then will be full of system checks and confirmation that its 10 experiments are ready to undertake the most exhaustive analysis of the Martian surface to date. Measuring 9.8 feet (3 m) long and nearly as wide, the spacecraft is roughly the size of a Mini Cooper and has a mass of nearly 1 ton. In fact, Curiosity's science payload alone — 165 pounds (75 kg) — is nearly half the mass of the entire rover Opportunity.The $2½ billion Mars Science Laboratory mission has a lot of work ahead of it, expected to last at least a full Martian year (98 weeks). "This will be not a sprint but a marathon," notes Doug McCuistion, who directs NASA's Mars-exploration program. The main objective is to scale the slopes of the massive 3-mile-high mountain inside Gale. Named Aeolis Mons, it's actually a stack of sediments that, scientists hope, represent hundreds of millions of years of Martian history.
It's also informally known as "Mount Sharp," honoring the late Robert P. Sharp, who formed Caltech's planetary-geology group during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Just as the Grand Canyon in Arizona exposes ancient strata at the base of its walls and younger ones higher up, it's hoped that the lowest layers within Aeolis Mons were laid down more than 3 billion years ago, when geologists suspect that the climate was warm enough to permit liquid water to flow abundantly across the surface.Were these climatic conditions conducive to life? That's what Curiosity — part geologist and part chemist — hopes to learn. Its instruments will study the geology along its uphill route with cameras, spectrometers, and other instruments that will study the character and composition of its rocks — even revealing crystal structure for the first time. Moreover, it will determine isotopic ratios of carbon and oxygen of ground-up rock samples, looking for any hint of organic matter that might exist in the planet's harsh environment. One especially novel experiment, called ChemCam, will vaporize tiny spots on rocks up to 20 feet (7 m) away and record the spectrum (at ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths) of the brief incandescent burst of light.
The only spacecraft to have searched specifically for Martian life were the twin Viking landers, which touched down in 1976. While Curiosity will not look specifically for life, it certainly represents a new tack in NASA's exploration strategy: to follow not only the water, but also the carbon, that might exist on the Red Planet.
"The Curiosity story is just beginning," says John Grunsfeld, who manages NASA's space-science efforts.

Data file compression is employed in order to reduce bandwidth, file transfer time, or storage requirements. A digital recording (such as a CD) encoded to the Monkey's Audio format can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data. As with the FLAC and Apple Lossless format, files encoded to Monkey's Audio are typically reduced to about half of the original size, with data transfer rates and bandwidth requirements being reduced accordingly. Monkey's Audio's advantages are better compression rates compared to FLAC and WavPack, as well as multithreading/multicore support. Monkey's Audio main drawbacks are the fact that it employs a symmetric algorithm, meaning the decoding takes comparable resources to encoding, which makes it unsuitable for all but the fastest portable players (via Rockbox firmware), and that it has limited support on software platforms other than Windows; on other platforms only decoding is officially supported by third-party programs. Although the original source code is freely available, the license is not considered to be an open source one. Monkey's Audio files use the filename extension .ape for audio, and .apl for track metadata. Like any lossless compression scheme, Monkey's Audio format takes up several times as much space as lossy compression formats like AAC, MP3 and Vorbis. A Monkey's Audio file is 3–5 times as large as a 192 kbit/s bitrate MP3 file.

A: Windows Media Audio (WMA) is the name of a series of audio codecs and their corresponding audio coding formats developed by Microsoft. It is a proprietary technology that forms part of the Windows Media framework. Microsoft developed Windows Media Audio in an effort to undermine the MP3, Apple's AAC compression, and other codecs. Since its initial introduction, the format has grown to support a range of audio types beyond compressed audio — from high-fidelity audio and multi-channel surround sound, to a compression algorithm specifically tailored for the human voice. WMA consists of four distinct codecs. The original WMA codec, known simply as WMA, was conceived as a competitor to the popular MP3 and RealAudio codecs. WMA Pro, a newer and more advanced codec, supports multichannel and high resolution audio. A lossless codec, WMA Lossless, compresses audio data without loss of audio fidelity (the regular WMA format is lossy). WMA Voice, targeted at voice content, applies compression using a range of low bit rates. Microsoft has also developed a digital container format called Advanced Systems Format to store audio encoded by WMA. Even though Microsoft claims it is able to deliver the same quality as MP3 at half the bitrates, that statement is certainly false. A more realistic number would be same quality at around 25% smaller bitrates - and that applies to low bitrates only. At 128kbps, it is easily beaten by Lame. However, while WMA still remains widely used today, the proprietary codec pales in comparison to MP3 and other digital formats. If you listen to music on anything remotely similar to an iPod, you'll likely have to convert your WMA files into a more accessible format before enjoying your tunes.

Initially four decades ago it was called Tulare Field and Row Crop Equipment Show" but quickly became the "California Farm Equipment Show for the second show in 1969.
In 1972, "And International Exposition was added to the title.
In 2001 it took on the grandiose title of World Ag Expo.
However, to San Joaquin Valley and California producers, it will always be the Tulare Show always held the second week of February.
This year the dates are Feb. 13-15 for what is billed as the world's largest agricultural exposition 2007. It's held in a former alfalfa field along side Highway 99 just south of Tulare, Calif.
This year the Expo will contain 1,600 exhibitors packed into 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space. It is expected to draw 100,000 attendees from 66 different countries. It's all made possible by the efforts of 1,200 "orange jacket" volunteers.
"We've come a long way. When this show started it was just a local event, and now we put together the biggest and best agricultural exposition in the world! The event brings exhibitors from around the world together with farmers and ranchers covering every aspect of agriculture production," said Jerry Sinift, general manager of the International Agri-Center, home to World Ag Expo.
The first show attracted 157 exhibitors with 28,000 attendees. By the second year, the show doubled in both attendees and exhibitors, and continued to grow ever since.Weather factor
Over the years one of the biggest draws to the show has been the weather, more specifically rainy weather. Show organizers have counted on bad weather during the second week of February to keep farmers out of the fields and get them to the show.
In recent years, that has not been the big wish because it is sunny weather than swells the attendance numbers. This year with one of the driest Januaries on record, rain and snow in the mountains would surely boost show visitors enthusiasm.
What also draws the crowds to Tulare include a pickup truck give away, farm tours, truck and tractor pulls, hands-on demonstrations, seminars and more.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Admission is $9, with 3-Day Passes available for $24. Tickets may be purchased at the gate or online (www.worldagexpo.com)

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — A former Nazi concentration camp guard, who has lived quietly in western Pennsylvania for more than 50 years, is taking his deportation fight to the nation's highest immigration court.
The Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church heard the appeal Thursday from 88-year-old Anton Geiser of Sharon, Pa.
He acknowledges serving in the Nazi SS as a guard at two concentration camps. A federal judge ordered him deported in 2010.
But his lawyer argued that the court should have taken into account the fact that Geiser was forced to join the SS against his will, as a 17-year-old.
Government lawyers argued to uphold the deportation. They said federal law places former Nazis in a harsher immigration category, and no exceptions should be made because of compulsory service.

Watchdog group says Jindal plan $650M short of 'revenue neutral'
Watchdog group says Jindal plan $650M short of 'revenue neutral'
BATON ROUGE, La. —
A nonpartisan watchdog group says Gov. Bobby Jindal's tax code rewrite could cost the state as much as $650 million in lost revenue as currently proposed.
The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana says Jindal's plan appears to fall short of the claim that it is "revenue neutral."
PAR says the plan relies on revenue figures from 2011, when the state was struggling with the recession. PAR says those figures appear to skew the data used to devise Jindal's plan.
Jindal proposes doing away with state income taxes in exchange for higher and more state sales taxes.
Tim Barfield, the governor's leader on the tax rewrite, disagreed with PAR's analysis. He says the 2011 data was a starting point but not the only figures used to craft the plan.

Along with relieving the burden of email management by giving companies the infrastructure and expertise to run Exchange without having to stand it up or keep up with patches, scaling, and updates; Hosted Exchange combined with Outlook also delivers other important business benefits. What else can Exchange and Outlook do beyond email? Here are our top choices:
Digital organizer: Inside the email interface, you'll find a place to access the company directory and your individual contacts; view and update your calendar; and manage tasks. These functions work hand in hand with email to create calendar entries from email invites, create group email messages from your contacts list and automatically turn an email to an item on your task list. Other features like Scheduling Assistant, resource sharing and social network integration help to further centralize and streamline common business activities.
Anywhere access: Your level of responsiveness can be the difference between gaining or missing out on new business. Being able to instantly receive and act on an email message gives you an edge. Exchange empowers instant access so that when an email is sent to you, it's immediately pushed to your desktop, laptop, tablet or other mobile phone. Layer BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or Active Sync service to automatically sync messages, plus your calendar, contacts and more to iPhone, Android or BlackBerry platforms.
Admin control: Hosted Exchange gives admins an intuitive management interface to launch tasks that can take days in an onsite environment. For example, you can add multiple Hosted Exchange users in minutes. An onsite deployment may require buying more licenses, adding hardware and installing security software. In addition, permissions, security, storage and mobile access are all point-and-click jobs in the control panel instead of nightmares troubleshooting directories, mobile server integration and access control.
Only at Rackspace: Hosted Exchange customers at Rackspace get a free 250MB SharePoint site. Integrate SharePoint with Exchange and Office programs to create workspaces to foster collaboration, manage large team projects and store and share company documentation. It's a free opportunity to test out how SharePoint works for your business and enables company-wide communication.

Well, as I said, I have no personal experience with the Fusion technology, which makes it rather futile to argue in depth about its merits and faults. Obviously, the Fusion drive (or at least its marketing) is mainly aimed at ´consumer´ users, who want a fast and easy-to-use Mac for their intended use. Nothing wrong with that;
FWIW, Tim Cook has said that Apple has not forgotten the pro user and is working on a new Mac Pro that he thinks people will like that should be out next year. Just Google MacPro 2013.Jim
It would be questionable to move data after a small number of reads. That would stress the mechanics over necessary.
Regarding the 5400rpm disk, benchmarks show about 80 MBps in sustained write speed. Even FW800 may struggle to reach those speeds. Definitely not a bottleneck.
Indeed. Unfortunately, except for Tim's word and a bunch of crystal balls, why don't know absolutely nothing more.
Also, is that your qualified opinion that reading data off a hard "drive stresses the mechanics"?
Any specific reason that would prevent me from using a third party SSD and a third party hard drive to exploit the "Fusion" concept? If there is a specific reason, would you put it at the hardware or at the OS level?
You mention "Fusion" is a revolution? Where does the revolution term come from? Storage tiering? Virtual drives?
If 80 MBps sustained is not a bottleneck, any reason why people are selling, buying and using faster devices?
I'm still confused. For the digital darkroom would I benefit from a fussion drive rather than using the ATA drive? Do I dare try to put a third party SSD drive in myself or pay apple for the fussion? I have no problem putting in RAM, but it sounds like replacing the drive is more intensive work.
It's not as hard as swapping the HDD for an iMac, but it's still not that easy.Not only you have to take your time, but then you have to buy the kit with the tools to dismount the whole Mac. Finally you'll have to create a fusion drive via command line.If you add the cost for the SSD you'll probably still save money but
is it worth it? The choice is yours.

It seems that the "Fusion Drive" software can be applied to any combination of SSD and HDD, including an external HDD. So maybe one option is getting a fast and fairly big internal SSD, and "fusing" it to a big and fairly fast Thunderbolt external drive. Any experience or comments on this?
Upgrading RAM on new iMac practically impossible

MADRID (AP) — Some 800 African migrants tried to climb barbed-wire fences to enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla from Morocco on Friday, Spanish officials said. Most were turned back by security forces from both sides.
A statement from the Interior Ministry's office in Melilla said the migrants attempted to scale the fences several times early Friday and at least 10 managed to get across.
The ministry said Moroccan forces kept back more than 1,000 who made similar attempts Thursday.
Thousands of sub-Saharan migrants seeking a better life in Europe are living illegally in Morocco, hoping they can enter Melilla or Spain's other north African coastal enclave, Ceuta, and later make it to the mainland.
Morocco and Spain have stepped up vigilance since Feb. 6 when 15 migrants drowned trying to enter Ceuta.
Those that cross into the enclaves are normally given lodging in centers while authorities, obliged by law, try to identify and repatriate them. Many come without documentation so they cannot be identified and are eventually let go but ordered to leave the country.
