researchers have claimed that giant heat waves caused by global
warming will kill
off desert bird communities over the next one hundred years,
and even believe that mass amounts of warming-related deaths have
already begun to occur.
Blair Wolf, an associate professor of biology at the University
of New Mexico, and Andrew McKechnie, from the University
of Pretoria in South Africa, have discovered that
temperature increases as low as two degrees Fahrenheit can affect
desert bird populations in a large way.
to these researchers' findings, massive heat waves claim the lives of
several desert bird populations because these birds release body heat
by panting and evaporating water across the skin, and with increasing
temperatures and not enough places for these birds to find shelter
and water, large numbers are dying off due to heat stroke.
and McKechnie found that water is scarce in deserts, obviously, and
birds become inactive when temperatures rise. Since these heat waves
cover large areas, the birds cannot just fly away to avoid the
consequences either.
better understand the future of these bird populations, Wolf and
McKechnie have devised a
model based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change's predictions that Earth's temperature will rise 3.5 to 6.5
degrees Fahrenheit over the course of the next one hundred years.
This model estimates survival rates (and supposedly future water
costs for birds in this region, though no actual figures have been
provided) for birds that will live during the 2080's during heat
waves in comparison to those who live in the two hottest desert
regions today: Birdsville, Australia and Yuma, Arizona.
to this model's results, small birds in the 2080's will show
significantly less survival rates than larger birds due to their
increased amount of water loss. As much as 30 to 40 percent of small
desert bird populations could die off in this time period. Their
research also shows that all birds under 100 grams will experience a
decreased survival rate of 25 percent due to an increase in water
researchers are blaming
global warming for the increased temperatures that lead to
heat waves, causing desert bird populations to perspire too much
without enough water to rehydrate. Both Wolf and McKechnie say these
increased temperatures will be overwhelming to birds, and have
already claimed the lives of several desert bird populations in
Western Australia and India.
their research has led them to these conclusions, Wolf and McKechnie
admit that these results are not exactly 100 percent finished or
accurate at this point. So far, their models only apply to birds that
are already in hot, dry desert climates.
don't have good research of these
die-offs," said Wolf. "No researchers have actually
been present during these incidents and no one has actually done the
autopsies - so we don't even know the exact cause of death of these
animals - whether it was dehydration or heat stroke.
models allow for making somewhat educated guesses at this point, but
real data on bird tolerances to heat and water stress are lacking."
in Australia and India have reported these die-offs. Wolf and
McKechnie are looking further into these dying populations to see
exactly how many are being killed due to heat, and how this will
affect other plant and animal species.
incidents illustrate a need for more basic research on how animals
function so that predictions can be made and measures can be taken to
preserve our biodiversity," said Wolf.
presented his abstract, "Climate change increases the likelihood
of catastrophic avian mortality events during extreme heat waves and
droughts" at the Global Change and Global Science: Comparative
Physiology in a Changing World conference from
August 4-7 in Colorado.

Minnesota League Meeting Draws More Than 300 Attendees
More than 300 credit union professionals and volunteers representing 70 credit unions gathered for the annual meeting and convention at the Minnesota Credit Union Network in Bloomington earlier this month.
Three incumbents and one new representative were elected to three-year terms on the MnCUN board of directors:
- Karen Fleming of the $7.6 million H.B.I. Employees CU in St. Paul was re-elected to the 2,000 or fewer members' seat.
- Terri Maloney of the $18.2 million Catholic United Financial CU in St. Paul was elected to the 2,001-10,000 members' seat.
- Kelly McDonough of the $136 million First Alliance CU in Rochester was re-elected to the seat for credit unions outside the Twin Cities metro area.
- Jeff Schwalen of the$918 million Hiway FCU in St. Paul was re-elected to the seat for credit unions in the Twin Cities metro area.
The MnCUN Board also re-elected table officers for another term:
- Chairman Patrick Pierce of the $395 million City & County CU Union in St. Paul;
- Vice Chairman Chuck Albrecht of the $254 million Mid-Minnesota FCU in Baxter; and
- Secretary/Treasurer Jeff Schwalen of the $918 million Hiway FCU in St. Paul.
This year's conference featured several prominent guests.
CUNA Senior Vice President and Deputy Counsel Mary Dunn gave an opening address during the business meeting and led a session that provided regulatory updates and advocacy advice.
CUNA Board Chair Pat Wesenberg also spoke, encouraging the crowd during the business meeting to rally their credit unions and join in CUNA's Unite for Good initiative.
"Working together, we can reduce burden and foster excellence throughout our industry," said Wesenberg, president/ CEO of the $166 million Central City CU of Marshfield, Wis. "[Unite for Good] is a rallying cry for credit unions to spread the message that credit unions are the best financial partner."
She also met with young credit union professionals who are part of MnCUN's networking group, the Crew. This networking session, "Coffee with the CEOs," featured Wesenberg and Minnesota credit union executives Mark Cummins, MnCUN president/CEO; Mary Hansen, administrator/COO of the $624 million Mayo Employees Federal Credit Union; and Kyle Markland, president/CEO of the $1.6 billion Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union.
Conference attendees also heard from Minnesota Department of Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman and credit union experts Joe Sullivan, Patrick McElhenie and Paul Withey.
Nearly 20 educational sessions were held throughout the two days, as well as a trade show, receptions and fundraisers.

This dataset is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), the criminal justice archive within ICPSR. NACJD is primarily sponsored by three agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice: the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
National Crime Victimization Survey, 1998 [Record-Type Files] (ICPSR 22923)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Series, previously called the National Crime Surveys (NCS), has been collecting data on personal and household victimization through an ongoing survey of a nationally-representative sample of residential addresses since 1972. The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of areas. The survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes include rape and sexual attack, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property crimes include burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft. Each respondent is asked a series of screen questions designed to determine whether she or he was victimized during the six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the interview. A "household respondent" is also asked to report on crimes against the household as a whole (e.g., burglary, motor vehicle theft). The data include type of crime, month, time, and location of the crime, relationship between victim and offender, characteristics of the offender, self-protective actions taken by the victim during the incident and results of those actions, consequences of the victimization, type of property lost, whether the crime was reported to police and reasons for reporting or not reporting, and offender use of weapons, drugs, and alcohol. Basic demographic information such as age, race, gender, and income is also collected, to enable analysis of crime by various subpopulations.

This version of NCVS data is an alternative to NCVS data available in hierarchical format. Under this version the four record types that comprise the hierarchical file are available as four separate rectangular files. The use of four record-type files simplifies the use of the data while maintaining all of the information and functionality present in the hierarchical format.
The 1998 Incident-Level Extract File was created from the record-type files and includes information on victims of crime. Nonvictims are not included. Records were extracted from the Incident Record-Type File and bounded by the year that the incident occurred. These records were then merged to their parent records from the Person Record-Type and Household Record-Type files.
A separate data collection, NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMIZATION SURVEY, 1992-2005: CONCATENATED FILES (ICPSR 4699), contains a multi-year concatenated incident-level file and rape subset file.
The data were collected by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Sample: Stratified multistage cluster sample.
Weight: The data files include several weight variables used to calculate national estimates of: households, persons, victimizations, and incidents. The codebook describes how to use the weights.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI), face-to-face interview, telephone interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure.

Intel has never been shy about slamming its main competitors in the various markets that it has a presence. Intel talks itself up as it talks down rival AMD in the computer CPU environment and rival mobile CPU maker ARM gets much the same treatment.
Intel is picking on what it calls the slow iPhone, but is fast to point out that the slowness isn't Apple's fault. This caveat is no doubt to placate Apple and its iPhone business, which Intel undoubtedly covets. According to Intel's Shane Wall, the problem with the iPhone is its processor which is based on ARM technology.
Wall said, "Any sort of application that requires any horse power at all and the iPhone struggles." Wall maintains that Apple did a good job tackling the mobile Internet and achieved massive buzz for its iPhone thanks to Jobs' deity-like ability to sell products.
The iPhone wasn't alone in being panned by Wall who believes that the ARM processor is blight on smartphones in general. Wall said, "The smartphone of today is not very smart. The problem they have today is they use ARM."
Wall continued to rail on ARM claiming that if you want to run the "full" internet, you are going to need to run an Intel-architecture processor. Ironically, Intel used to make an entire line of ARM-based processors that it sold to Marvell in 2006.
The writing between the lines here is that a "real" internet experience will only be available on devices running CPU's like the Intel Atom or the Moorestown architecture. Many who have used an iPhone can say the internet experience on the iPhone stands head and shoulders above the competition – that is unless you need to use Flash.

Carver Mead: Finish the physics revolution
35 comments
SAN FRANCISCO You need to question the assumptions of today's science to "finish the revolution" in physics and keep technology moving forward, Carver Mead told an audience of well over a thousand semiconductor engineers here. Accepted constants such as the speed of light need to be re-examined, said the 78-year-old veteran of semiconductor design technology, speaking in quietly passionate tones without foils or notes.
"It's a mind opening experience to think about physical law this way," said Mead in a keynote at the 60th annual International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). "I am spending the entire rest of my life doing that, and when we are done with this revolution we will have a way of thinking about the universe vastly more intuitive and inspiring than what we have today," he said.
Mead called for breakthroughs in the understanding of "the nature of how matter works and pass that on to our children in intuitive, accessible ways, not buried in a pile of obscure mathematics." Scientists and engineers need to challenge orthodox thinking, he said, giving examples of little known critics of physicists such as Newton and Werner Heisenberg.
"We have been living with misconceptions and gobbledygook, of thought processes not allowed to go forward," Mead said. "People couldnt imagine the world being as interesting as it is, partly because some big egos got in the way," he added. "Our view of science, that got us this far, is keeping us from going further," Mead said. "Theres a bigger conceptual picture we need to integrate into our thinking," he added.
Mead co-authored a seminal text on VLSI design.
The professor emeritus of Caltech noted his own work and that of Intel's Gordon Moore in 1967 predicting advances of more than an order of magnitude in semiconductor physics. "Most people thought we were crazy [but] after a few years it became the industry road map," he said.
Mead's keynote followed a talk describing heroic efforts to create extreme ultraviolet lithography systems that aim to continue progress in chip technology.

So finally, Casey is starting to do what's best for the team and play those who are actually making a difference rather than just putting people out there. Based on this article http://www.torontosun.com/2012/12/17...-time-cut-back about cutting JVs minutes back to play ED & AJ together because they have been playing well together. Wonder if he is going to also keep Jose as the starting point guard as he actually is a great shooter when he wants to be and he certainly knows how to pass the ball well. (ZERO) turnover last game was crazy.
Don't know if it's BC telling him to not play JV as much because of what happened with Sam and Barg and want to make sure he comes along properly. If BC stays around to see it happen that is. Or if it's Casey trying to FINALLY put his foot down and say, " I am playing the best players available" Either way, good for you Casey.

Japanese-American Research Project (JARP): a Three-Generation Study, 1890-1966 (ICPSR 8450)
Principal Investigator(s): Levine, Gene N.
This data collection is a sociohistorical study of the ways in which three generations (Issei, Nisei, and Sansei) of Japanese American families adapted to social, cultural, educational, occupational, and other institutions of American life. The study examines the experience of the first immigrants to the United States (Issei), and their children (Nisei) and grandchildren (Sansei). Interviews with Issei families stressed the difficulties faced by the immigrants during their early years in the United States, as well as aspects of social and cultural life. Interviews with Nisei included questions on employment, attitudes toward work, income, education, marriage, social relationships, discrimination, and religion. Topics covered in Sansei interviews included birth order, age, marital status, children, social relationships, occupation, industry, income, education, Japanese value systems, marital choices, influence of parents and grandparents, discrimination, religion, political attitudes, and migration.

Tesla Motors has begun taking orders from customers in Canada for its battery-electric Roadster, with deliveries beginning in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Roadsters will be modified to comply with Canadian safety regulations for mass-produced, highway-capable vehicles. They will have minor differences with the European and American models.
The company touted Canada's renewable energy sources as being particularly compatible with Tesla's philosophy of sustainability. The provinces of Quebec, British Columbia, and Manitoba rely primarily on hydro-electric dams for the majority of their electricity production.
Tesla Motors is also considering future retail and service centers in Ontario, British Columbia and possibly Quebec. However, Canadian customers will be initially serviced through Tesla's centers in New York and Seattle. Its electric vehicles require little maintenance as it does not burn hydrocarbons, and its regenerative braking also reduces brake maintenance.
Six new sales and service offices are expected to be opened this year, with agreements completed in Chicago and London's Knightsbridge district. Locations in Manhattan, Miami, Seattle and Munich are currently under negotiation, while the company is scouting for offices in Washington, D.C.
Pricing for Canada has not been finalized due to fluctuating exchange rates. However, reservations will require a refundable $60,000 deposit, payable in Canadian dollars. Tesla currently has a backlog of over a thousand orders at a base price of $109,000 US dollars. Production is ten roadsters per week, although the company plans to increase its rate.
The provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia currently offer $2,000 rebates on sales taxes for hybrids and electric vehicles, while Prince Edward Island offers $3,000. The most straightforward is Manitoba, which will mail out a $2,000 check upon verification of purchase.
In a major partnership with Daimler, Tesla is seeking to expand its product range with an initial contract of 1,000 battery packs and chargers for electric Smart cars. It hopes to expand production to tens of thousands of Smart cars per year if the test fleet does well.
Tesla will unveil a sedan known as the "Model S" on March 26th in Los Angeles. It will be a four-door, five passenger sedan powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, with "an anticipated base price of $57,400", according to company officials.
Elon Musk, the founder of PayPal and Chairman of Tesla Motors, wrote in a blog post in August of 2006 that Tesla's "second model will be a sporty four door family car at roughly half the $89k price point of the Tesla Roadster".
Production of the Model S is expected to begin in the second half of 2011, with sales divided equally between North America and Europe. Production was originally planned for late this year in a new plant located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but that was aborted in favor of a new factory in San Jose. The global credit crisis forced a reevaluation of those plans.
Tesla also had plans for a third model; a battery electric family sedan that depended on profits and engineering knowledge from the Roadster and Model S to drive affordability into the mass market. Those too have been delayed.

Threat of the Week: TDoS Will Hang Up On You
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) may be getting all the recent press, but now the FBI, Homeland Security and several more federal agencies have issued a no-nonsense warning about a spike in the number of TDoS (telephony denial of service) attacks which wipe out a victim's telephone service.
The focus of the warning was a jump in TDoS against public sector emergency services agencies (police, ambulance, etc.) The warning noted: "The perpetrators of the attack have launched high volume of calls against the target network, tying up the system from receiving legitimate calls. ... Many similar attacks have occurred targeting various businesses and public entities, including the financial sector" (emphasis added).
The scariest part: security researchers talk about TDoS kits that can be rented for as little as $20 per hour. And that service will generate ample junk calls to put your credit union's telephone system down for the count.
Although the federal alert focused on TDoS aimed at public safety agencies, security experts insisted to Credit Union Times that many financial institutions – including credit unions – have been victims.
Sometimes, too, TDoS attacks have been associated with simultaneous frauds occurring inside a financial institution. noted Rob Kraus, director of research at Solutionary, an IT security company.
The way that works is that just when a credit union decides to pick up the phone to verify a large wire transfer to, say, a Kiev account, TDoS knocks out the phone systems, so no outgoing calls. And the bad wire transfer may be put through.
TDoS also is commonly linked with ransom demands, noted the federal law enforcement agencies, The promise is that the TDoS will cease upon payment of a fee, often in a four-figure range, said experts.
The feds are adamant: Do not pay the blackmail.
For good reason. Paying it probably only sets the stage for another attack a few days later and a new demand for money.
But exactly what credit unions and other TDoS targets should do to protect themselves is frankly up in the air. "Right now, it is very difficult to defend against TDoS," said Richard Henderson, a security strategist with Fortinet.
Here's the problem: not only is TDoS cheap to unleash, the technology allows for instant spoofing of phone numbers and geographic misdirections. The calls may look as though they originate in Long Island, but they may in fact start out in Moscow – there just is no easy way for most organizations to know, said malware researcher Cameron Camp.
That ability to disguise the calls is what is maddening about TDoS and it also is at the heart of why most security experts believe very few credit unions have significant internal TDoS mitigation knowhow.
The current, best advice for coping with TDoS is to begin talking with internal and external telephone experts about how to respond.
A suggestion from Kraus is that just as many credit unions have disaster recovery and business continuity plans that call for a third party to pick up answering incoming calls in the event of an outage, that same firm could be called upon to handle calls in the event of a TDoS wipe out.
There may be other options. The bigger point: start planning now for a TDoS attack because one just may be coming at you.

So in less than 24 hours, my home office went to this...
The only new items? Black curtains. That's IT. The paint was found in (what my husband calls), the "paint department" in our garage and all the furniture is the same, but rearranged. The lamp was in our attic. Shop what ya got, baby.
Ok, so I know it wasn't horrible before. The main issue was that the old office didn't make me feel good, which is what decorating and interior design is all about. I originally went with the dark gray because, well, I wanted a dark gray room. Why not the office?? Looking back, I love the color, but that shade wasn't what I wanted to work within during the day, you know? It was just too dark and gloomy in there. Grays are SO tricky. To me, that one looked very purple. So instead of my chic gray office, I saw a purple mistake every single time. So if you're ever in a gray-paint-choosing situation, make sure to take the purple/blue level into consideration and go for a more true gray.
Another issue with the old office? It was cramped. Rearranging the existing furniture in the room seriously made it feel like the space has tripled. It's insane. Don't get me wrong, I love a floating desk, but I like open space more.
Check out all the rolling around space! ...for Waylon I mean. It goes back several more feet to the opposite wall beyond the edge of the photo.
This is the only "stark" white room in our home, but it works. Don't think white is easy or boring. It actually takes more to make white work. My decor style usually is more neutral walls (warm grays or taupe) and accessorizing with color. Color for the sake of color is no bueno. You've got to have your own style and do what makes you feel good in your own home, always.
Anyway, this white is Vanilla Milkshake by Benjamin Moore in a semi-gloss finish, which I would usually avoid for walls. I always go with eggshell. But this works! Is it bad that when we moved in I forgot what exactly I even had this paint mixed for?? It's almost iridescent. The existing mini chandelier light fixture casts a mega glamorous glow against the finish.
The biggest change other than the color is the furniture arrangement. I took my existing 3-piece book shelves/cabinet from the Ikea Hemnes line and divided those babies. I replaced the glass center cabinet with my Ikea Liatorp desk. I love the look of these three pieces together.
Bookshelf styling is my favorite. In the open shelves surrounding the desk, my favorite books, photo boxes, framed photos, and pretty knickknacks hang out.
The chair above is a random dining chair I picked up from Pier 1 on clearance a while back. The pillow is from Target and my little inspiration pin board was a super cheap-o find from Hobby Lobby that I covered with fabric. Super easy way to update a plain cork board, by the way.
Some more bookshelf styling...
The desk itself is super fun because before, I didn't keep much on the desktop. I love that now, I can add more to it without looking cluttered since it's against the wall.
My light gray tufted chair I'm using at the desk was another lucky find from the Frontgate Outlet. It's super comfortable at the desk and just the right height.

"A fascinating and comprehensive survey of how technologyfrom farming to railways to telegraphy to the Internethas changed our everyday concept of time.... Frank's thesis that our notions of cosmic and human time are braided together is compelling."New Scientist
"University of Rochester astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how our experience of time has been repeatedly rejiggered throughout the millennia. Archaeological evidence of ancient lifestyles and routines indicates that Paleolithic hunter-gatherers 'lived through time as an unbroken whole,' he writes. But once humans settled down to farm, that changed. 'The farmer lived within a time marked by daily rounds of animal husbandry, home maintenance, and village life.' Then came the clock, then the industrial punch clock and then synchronized time, which further altered how human beings perceived, used and organized the moments of a day. All the while, these changing notions of time altered how people understood the cosmos. Theories about the beginning of time gradually shifted from a mythological Eden to the universe-generating big bang. Frank ponders fresh ideas in cosmology, such as string theory and the multi-verse, and how the human perception of time will change in the future."Washington Post

Judges Decline Early Appeal of Card Decision for a Second Time
Retailers who don't like the proposed settlement of a longstanding federal case about credit card interchange will have to wait for that case to be finally settled before they can appeal it, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
A three-judge panel issued its one-paragraph opinion on Thursday. It reaffirmed a previous opinion from Judge Peter Hall, also an appeals court judge, issued Dec. 10, 2012, which also held that no appeals of the settlement in the interchange case could move forward until a final settlement of that case was filed.

there has been some speculation about Apple's "Retina" display for
the iPad 2, there have been few details regarding the tablet's resolution --
until now
MacRumors suggests that
simply doubling the iPad's current resolution (1024x768) to 2048x1536 at a 260
DPI would result in a display that, while not exactly "Retina", would
be easier for developers to adapt to. Apple doubled its resolution on the
iPhone when it introduced the iPhone 4 for this very reason, with older apps
running pixel-doubled.
This approach is looking more likely, considering version 1.1 of Apple's iBooks
app accidentally included artwork for a pixel-doubled iPad. The bookmark icon
included art for the iPad, iPhone, iPhonex2, and iPadx2. The x2 versions are
exactly double the resolution of the original versions. The graphics have been
removed in subsequent versions of the app.
While this isn't, by any means, confirmation that the iPad 2 will be double the
resolution of its predecessor, it certainly is evidence that it may be
But a doubling of resolution also requires some additional graphics processing
power. AppleInsider reports that
this will come in the form of the a new custom A4 chip, jumping from from
the SGX535 to the new SGX543 graphics and video core, reportedly doubling the
processing power at the same clock speed. The new core also supports
The new A4 also includes acceleration for video encoding and decoding, meaning
improved video-conferencing via the FaceTime app. It could also mean HDMI
support -- already on Apple TV -- for the iPad and iPhone.
An AI source, described as "familiar with Apple's
graphics strategy," said the company would most likely be going to
multiple cores, as well. According to the source, "The most likely
configuration of Apple's next custom chip is reportedly the SGX543MP2, which
pairs two SGX543 cores to work as one, offering around four times the
capability of the previous A4 in graphics and video tasks."
As for general purpose processing, Apple will likely employ multi-core ARM Cortex-A9.

One fact many people didn't know is that while the Volt is an electric car, relying first on charge, it also sports hybrid capabilities. It features a 12 gallon gas tank, which will only kick
in after the lithium-ion battery charge is depleted. This could take the
car 600 miles, thanks to an impressive 50 MPG projected fuel economy.
However, recent reports have revealed that GM, in a surprising development, has
decided to cut down the fuel tank for the Volt. They won't say what the
new capacity will be, with the source only saying, "We're working on
The original goal for the Volt was to equip it to drive 40 miles on a charge,
without using any gas. This goal remains, and appears to be within GM's
reach. Additionally, since 40 miles isn't long enough for road trips or
longer business travels, GM planned on adding the gas tank. The gas does
not power a traditional engine, but rather a generator, which provides enough
charge to keep going, and actually performs
more efficiently than most gas-engines.
GM has revised the target range to 360 miles, which would seem to indicate a
fuel tank of 7.2 gallons. The reasoning behind the cut is research that cars,
on average, travel less than 40 miles a day. While GM wants to
provide a comfortable extension to this range, it decided that 600 miles was a
bit excessive. Many older sedans don't get much more than 300 miles on a
12 gallon tank, so the new range seems relatively reasonable.
Jim Hossack, vice president of AutoPacific, an automotive research and
consulting firm states, "Most cars today have a range of more than 300
miles and less than 400 miles before refueling. GM didn't need a longer
range because most bladders can't go 600 miles. By going with a smaller
tank it means GM can take weight and price out and make Volt a little lighter
and a little cheaper, and that's what you call making an improvement."
While GM's move should help it cut costs and cut down slightly on the weight of
the vehicle, it may come as a disappointment for fans of ultra-long treks
across the country. Still, it is dubious that such minor gripes will be
able to do anything to quell the PR frenzy surrounding the Volt.
At its price tag, even with possible subsidies, the Volt will likely fall into
the luxury car class. However, with its wild popularity and sleek looks,
it seems likely to thrive in this class, or whatever class it may enter as
prices drop.

this year Apple purged the app store of all that was lude
and lascivious, claiming that it was merely bowing to
the complaints
of parents. Maybe it was halfway right. The Parents
Television Council has gone public, claiming that its protest
campaign helped spur Apple to action and praising the company's new
moral stand.The PTC says that Apple's decision to block
photos of apps based on their parental control settings and remove
some apps altogether is a good step. The group's president, Tim
Winter, says Apple is definitely rubbing him the right way.
He states,
"Apple has taken a positive first step towards eliminating kids'
access to sexually explicit and pornographic content on its product
lineup and we applaud the company's effort."However,
the PTC has identified a new target: Google's Android operating
system. Android is set to pass Microsoft sometime this quarter
in the smartphone arena, and will soon be the third largest
smartphone OS provider. It has the second biggest app store,
after only Apple's 150,000+ apps – the Android Marketplace features
over 40,000 apps. A handful of those apps are
pornographic or otherwise deviant in nature. The PTC is vowing
to do its best to let Google know that they're being very naughty and
to whack the explicit content off the Android Market.The
group is upset that Android OS has no parental controls and hasn't
taken steps to remove preview photos or explicit apps like Apple.
States PTC's national grassroots director Gavin McKiernan, "We
plan to draw attention to other platforms, such as Android, or
Verizon's Vcast service, that aren't really doing anything. We
definitely want to see progress from some of the other handheld
devices."Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, agrees with the
assessment that Android is very, very naughty. He became rather
hot and bothered when discussing Android at the iPhone
OS 4.0 launch event and accused his competitor of being a
"porn phone". His company and users, are much better
at keeping their dark, unpure thoughts in check, he feels.

Prepare for the next generation of super soldiers, which may
end up being video game players. The U.S. Army has created a new project office
for the development of gaming technologies.
While the U.S. Army may have started with id Software's DOOM II as a
training tool, it will not rely on modern commercial shooters as the basis
for its training. "I haven't seen a game built for the entertainment industry
that fills a training gap," said Col. Jack Millar, director of the service's
Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) Project Office for Gaming, or TPO
The America's Army
games were primarily recruitment tools, but TPO Gaming's main focus is on
training tools. Furthermore, according to TSJOnline, TPO
Gaming aims to integrate modern game graphics into traditional U.S. Army
training concepts. "We will focus on the visualization piece of those
technologies, not so much the entertainment piece," Millar added.
Many simulators for the military thus far are based on
shooter games, particularly of the first-person variety, which lends quite well
to infantry training. TPO Gaming's projects, however, look to expand gaming
technology's applicability to other areas.
"While one game might provide excellent battlefield
visualization, another might support training bilateral negotiation
techniques," Brig. Gen. Thomas Maffey, the Army's director of training at the
Pentagon, said to TSJ in written
remarks. "We are finding many uses for games and it is just the beginning. Currently,
we are focusing on first-person shooter and real-time strategy games, but there
are many other genres of games that have desirable training capabilities. They
provide an immersive environment capable of stimulating thought within a given
context, thus giving us the ability to exercise cognitive skills along with
functional tasks."
Although games such as Infinity Ward's brilliant Call of
Duty 4 present a visually impressive representation on modern warfare, it may
be deemed unsuitable for practical Army use for a number of reasons.
"The difficult part is they have to meet requirements," said
Robert Bowen, civilian chief of TPO Gaming. "Just because someone has the
latest and greatest graphics engine, and the gameplay is great, doesn't mean it
meets training requirements."
Col. Jack Millar said that the training tool must be
suitable for custom scenario development, be immersive, scalable, feature an
intuitive interface, model behavior at the entity level, contain an
after-action review capability and allow easy distribution.
"We would look at that game and determine if it meets a
training capability gap. If it can do that without any modification, we may use
it to fill that gap," said Millar. "But I doubt it. I haven't seen that happen
Interestingly enough, part of the reason behind the
formation of TPO Gaming was to give Army leaders a more official source of
video game training, rather than picking up a copy of Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3.
"Units should not have to spend training dollars to purchase
training simulations. If Army units are expending training funds to purchase
games, there is probably an unfilled training requirement," Brig. Gen. Thomas
Maffey said. "We do not want to tell the commanders in the field they cannot
spend money and train with games. However, we do want to ensure that commanders
get the best training tools and that the Army spends its limited resources
wisely in the procurement of those tools."

GOLDEN - A serious-looking group of Colorado politicians and bureaucrats on Monday set about the nitty-gritty work of something unimaginable just a few years ago: legalizing marijuana.
The 24-person task force set up by Gov. John Hickenlooper is supposed to recommend legal changes to the Legislature to respond to voters' approval in November of Amendment 64, which legalizes the private use and possession of marijuana and calls for a system of over-the-counter pot sales from specially licensed stores.
The group met for the first time Monday. In the audience, a young man in a colorful flannel shirt, goatee and green knit stocking cap played with a Rubik's Cube while the suit-and-tie clad task force members worked out their schedule.
But the task force's chairman sought to avoid a culture clash between marijuana activists and the task force, which includes many opponents of the ballot measure.
"We're not here to revisit the merits of Amendment 64," said Jack Finlaw, Hickenlooper's chief legal counsel. "We know voters approved it, so our job is finding ways to efficiently and effectively implement it."
Hickenlooper gave the group until Feb. 28 to make recommendations to the Legislature. Lawmakers will have to act by the end of their session in May in order to meet Amendment 64's July 1 deadline to have regulations in place.
The group spent its first meeting identifying issues that lawmakers and regulators will have to face.
It's a long list.
Amendment 64 tells the Legislature and the Department of Revenue to set up a system to regulate and tax marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol. In practice, that means dozens of changes to the law, ranging from local authority to ban marijuana stores, to repealing parts of the criminal code, to deciding when someone is too high to drive.
The group also wants to consider the rights of employers and employees regarding drug testing. And Hickenlooper has made a priority of keeping marijuana out of the hands of people under age 21.
"There may be so many issues we don't get to all of them," Finlaw said.
The task force set up five workgroups that will write most of the detailed recommendations. The full task force has to approve the recommendations, preferably by consensus but, if not, then by a majority vote.
The full group will meet five more times in Golden, Jan. 7, Jan. 27, Feb. 5, Feb. 19 and Feb. 28.

browsing field is looking increasingly competitive these
days. Firefox
4 will soon be released and comes packing a fresh new look,
new features, and a speed bump. Likewise Opera
11 is shaping up to be an impressive package as well, adding
extensions for the first time, and continuing to lead Firefox in
speed. And Internet
Explorer 9 from Microsoft could soon mean that Windows users
can finally stick with the default browser and get acceptable speed
and standards compliance (something not
so true for past IE versions).But Chrome 8 looks to
offer a well thought out package that may be the cream of the crop
for this loaded generation of browser wars. Chrome has always vied
with Opera for the title of fastest browser. Now both browsers
have extensions, as well.While Opera 11 has some new perks --
tab stacking, improved mouse gestures, etc -- Chrome 8 adds something
that's arguably an even bigger deal -- the world's first in-browser
web app store, dubbed "Web Store".Among the cool
upcoming apps to be featured in the store are Plants. vs.
Zombies and Lego Star Wars. For the non-gamers there's also a
Sports Illustrated app, a $4.99 image editing app dubbed
"Dark Room" (think online Photoshop Elements).The
concept is very ambitious. While it remains to be seen how
successful these apps really are in action, it arguably is reason
enough to give Chrome 8 a try. The store itself will launch
before the year's end, according to Google and now is supported on
the software side.Also new in Chrome 8 are over 800 bug fixes
and a built-in PDF reader. The current version of
Chrome 8 is Version 8.0.552.215. You can download it
from here.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Cataracts—an opaque buildup of damaged proteins in the lens of the eye—are the leading cause of visual decline in those over 65. In fact, most people in that age group have at least the beginnings of cataract formation. Many factors contribute to the development of cataracts, but damage by free radicals is believed to play a major role. (See the article on Atherosclerosis for a description of free radicals.)
Cataracts can be removed surgically. Although this has become a relatively quick, safe, easy, and painless surgery, it does not result in completely normal vision. Clearly, preventing cataracts, if possible, would be preferable.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Numerous observational studies suggest that high intake of antioxidants —such as vitamin C , vitamin E , and carotenoids ( beta-carotene , lutein , astaxanthin and lycopene —are associated with a reduced incidence of cataracts. 1-11,17 However, this by itself does not prove that the use of antioxidant supplements can prevent cataracts. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can do that. (For information on why the double-blind design is so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ) Unfortunately, the results of several large studies of this type were not encouraging.
In an enormous, double-blind, placebo-controlled trail involving almost 40,000 female healthcare professionals, use of natural vitamin E at a dose of 600 mg every other day over a 10-year period failed to have any effect on cataract development. 18
In another large, 8-year trial, 11,545 physicians aged 50 years and older were randomized to four different treatment groups: vitamin E (400 units) every other day plus vitamin C (500 mg) daily, vitamin E every other day plus placebo daily, vitamin C daily plus placebo, or placebo only. 20 Neither vitamins E or C had any significant effect on preventing cataracts.
And, in a similar trial, 4,629 older people received either placebo or an antioxidant supplement containing 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, and 15 mg of beta-carotene. The results over more than 6 years showed no effect on the risk of development of cataracts, nor the rate at which existing cataracts progressed to greater severity. 12
A 5-year double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 798 people in Southern India failed to find benefit with supplemental antioxidants, despite the fact that dietary antioxidant deficiency was common among the people studied. 16
In addition, a previous double-blind, placebo-controlled study examining the use of beta-carotene or vitamin E alone in male smokers failed to find the supplements effective. 13 On a more positive note, though, one large study found that beta-carotene supplements helped prevent cataracts in the subgroup of study participants who smoked. 14 However, no benefits were seen in the group as a whole. In any case, people who smoke are generally not advised to take extra beta-carotene. (For the reasons behind this concern, see the Beta-carotene article.)
In another long-term study involving over 1,000 older adults, multivitamin and minerals supplements led to a significant decrease in the development of cataracts compared to placebo over a 9-year period. However, these favorable results were tempered by an inexplicable increase in the number of a subtype of cataracts (posterior subcapsular) occurring among those taking the multivitamin/mineral supplements. 19
A very small, 2-year study found some evidence that lutein may improve visual function in people who already have cataracts. 15
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Herbs high in antioxidant flavonoids are frequently suggested for preventing cataracts. These include bilberry , ginkgo , OPCs , and turmeric . For various theoretical reasons, the supplements carnosine , lipoic acid , niacin (vitamin B 3 ) , riboflavin (vitamin B 2 ) , selenium , taurine , whey protein , and zinc have also been proposed. However, there is little real evidence that any of these treatments actually help.

SEC Clarifies Social Media Filing Rules for Investment Companies
The SEC said it has published a guidance update to clarify the obligations of mutual funds and other investment companies to seek review of materials posted on their social media sites.
The IM Guidance Update, which comes from the SEC's Division of Investment Management, provides real-life examples of the kinds of communications that the agency believes would and would not be subject to a requirement to file with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the SEC said.
According to the SEC, whether a FINRA review of materials is needed prior to an investment company posting on its social media sites depends on content, context, the presentation of the particular communication or set of communications, and if it requires an examination of the underlying substantive information transmitted to the social media user and consideration of any other facts and circumstances.
This may include whether the interactive communication is merely a response to a request or inquiry from the social media user or if he or she is forwarding previously-filed content, according to the SEC.
The SEC said it has learned that out of an abundance of caution, many mutual funds and other investment companies may file materials on their social media sites with FINRA unnecessarily.

Ebola virus disease is a severe infection. The infection can occur in humans and animals.
Ebola virus disease is caused by the Ebola virus. The virus can pass from person to person through blood or other bodily fluids. When these fluids come in contact with skin or mucus membranes, the virus can pass and cause the infection. The virus can also pass through contaminated needles.
Risk Factors
Travel to areas with known Ebola outbreaks increases your risk of Ebola virus disease. Almost all cases have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.
Your chance of Ebola virus disease also increases with:
- Exposure to a healthcare setting that has treated a person with Ebola virus disease
- Contact with another person who has Ebola virus disease
Symptoms of Ebola may include:
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint and muscle aches
- Sore throat
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Rash
- Red eyes
- Hiccups
- Internal and external bleeding
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If you may have been exposed to the virus and have symptoms, your doctor will notify health officials. This will include the local health department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
To confirm the presence of the virus, your doctor may order blood tests. These tests will help identify the virus itself and antibodies to the virus. Antibodies are signs that your body has identified and is fighting the virus.
Isolation is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease.
Treatment is focused on supporting you while your body fights the infection. Treatment may include:
- IV fluids and electrolytes
- Oxygen and blood pressure support
- Treatment for any complicating infections
- New therapies that are being tested or developed.
Survivors may experience lingering or persistent symptoms referred to as post-Ebola syndrome. Examples of complications include:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Headache
- Eye problems, including pain, discharge, redness, and blurred vision
- Cough
- Chest pain
- Loss of appetite
- Skin rash
- Gastrointestinal problems, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hiccups, or diarrhea
- Left-sided weakness associated with facial nerve palsy
To help reduce your chance of getting Ebola virus disease:
- Avoid traveling to an area that is experiencing an outbreak.
- If you are a healthcare worker, wear protective clothing and follow prevention protocols. This includes masks, gloves, gowns, and goggles.
- Avoid reusing needles.
- Avoid contact with anyone who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus.

*I have been intending to make this post but no access to keyboard for last week so here goes as I have one at my finger tips now*
I've made no secret I like what the Raptors have done thus far this off season. In my opinion, the Raps are younger, deeper, and (most importantly) better than they were on April 26, 2012 (last day of season).
When looking at the roster, 2 things stand out: youth and money.
#1) Youth - players signed beyond 2012-13 (all ages as of December 31, 2012):
Gray 28
Bargnani 27
Kleiza 27
Lowry 26
Amir 25
Fields 24
Acy 22
*qualifying offer
#2) Money
Gray* $3m
Bargnani $10.75m
Kleiza** $4.6m
Lowry $6.2m
Amir $6.55m
Fields $6.3m
ED $3.158m
Acy* $900k
TOTAL: $46.628 in committed salaries for 2013-14 for 10 players.
DD: qualifying offer - $4.531m; cap hold - $10.03M
Raptors also hold amnesty that could be used on Bargnani, Kleiza, or Amir to free up nearly $5-$11m.
Cap Space: depends on what happens with DD, amnesty, and BRI split. Current salary cap is $58M. Lots of young players under contract and only $46.628M in committed salary - key (and dreaded) word is flexibility.
*estimating contract
** assuming option picked up.
Assuming the Raptors do not make any significant additions in salary this summer or before trade deadline, Raps are likely to find themselves in a very similar situation next year:
- young and improving team
- cap flexibilty
People will likely groan (and rightfully so) because all this flexibility has gone for nothing thus far. 2 rays of hope:
1) new punitive tax starts in 2013-14 and might be last chance for a treadmill team (Grizz, Philly, whoever) or team going nowhere to unload contracts before more punitive tax kicks in,
2) luxury tax teams can no longer execute sign and trades after this summer (limited to $3m mini-MLE or minimum contracts).
Some things that do concern me:
1) Still no legit franchise talent (Bargnani, JV, or Ross please prove me wrong - or BC cash in some chips and get one!)
2) playoffs far from a certainty in 2012-13 but a bottom 10 team seems unlikely as well - worst case scenario, just miss the playoffs and lose a 12-14 pick.
My ultimate wet dream*:
1) trade for AI sooner than later,
2) when AI's contract comes off the books, sign Paul George as free agent.
Putting it all together, things are not perfect but things are not near bad, in my opinion, either.

Our disaster response: First in, last out
People living in poverty are more vulnerable when disasters strike. With over 90 percent of deaths caused by natural disasters occurring in developing countries, World Vision's community development approach is essential to strengthening communities in advance of disasters. But we're also pre-positioned to respond so we can start our relief work immediately when a disaster strikes.
Today's infographic shows how our disaster response works.
Check back throughout the week for perspectives on both our international and domestic disaster response work, as well as an interview on Friday with one of our disaster response directors!
If you missed any posts from the first four weeks of our "Why World Vision?" campaign, you can find them all here -- including infographics, stories from the field, and Q&As with our experts!
Child sponsorship is the cornerstone of World Vision's approach to community development. Join us! Change a child's life for good. Sponsoring a child helps their community be more prepared and resilient when disasters happen. Consider sponsoring a child today!

I'm tempted to replace them with this, which is from the same shoot and released in Interview Magazine back in 2008, but now don't know if I can ... bummer!
Sweet Jesus - thank you!
See soooooo much more over at Thinking of Rob via FakerParis!

YAGF is a graphical frontend for the cuneiform and tesseract OCR tools. It lets you open already scanned image files or obtain new images via XSane (scanning results are automatically passed to YAGF). Once you have a scanned image you can prepare it for recognition, select particular image areas for recognition, set the recognition language and so on. Recognized text is displayed in an editor window where it can be spell-checked, corrected, saved to disk, or copied to clipboard. YAGF also provides some facilities for a multi-page recognition.
Ostinato is a network packet and traffic generator and analyzer with a friendly GUI. It aims to be "Wireshark in Reverse" and thus become complementary to Wireshark.

Kenya through Kris' eyes
Since I've gotten back from World Vision's 2012 True Spirit of Christmas Tour, I'm frequently asked: "Didn't you go to Kenya? How was that?"
I'm never one to answer really fast, because I always want to give a real answer. I could just say, "It was great!" -- and the conversation would end there, but that would defeat the purpose of why I went.
I went so I could tell people about what's going on in Kenya and what World Vision is doing to help out.
I know this is a little bit after the fact, but sometimes it takes a little while to be at home to really understand what happened when you experience something like I did on my trip. So here is my most honest recollection of the things that I saw.
* * *
It was such a beautiful trip. As much as I was ready to get back home to my family, I could've stayed there for a little longer and hung out with some of the people.
They are the most beautiful people you will ever meet. How many children do you know who have to search for food or clean water for their family every day -- and greet a stranger with a warm embrace? How many teenagers do you know who have lost friends to life on the street -- and still have hope for their own life? How many moms do you know who care for their children so much that all they want is a light to help them read at night?
These are the people I met. These are the people of Kenya.
Here's one thing I learned on this trip: World Vision is not asking you to understand what these people go through. We can't. They live a totally different life than us. They are not asking for you to feel sorry for them. They don't show you pictures of sad kids. Most of the kids we came across were very happy.
All they want is for you to love them enough so that they have a shot. They deserve that.
Here are some more pictures of mine that I took on the trip.

We've talked
plenty about Windows 8 in the past, but Microsoft is really gearing up to
get developers onboard with the highly anticipated successor to Windows 7.
Microsoft showed
off the latest version of Windows 8 to developers at the BUILD conference
in California this week.
To put the icing on the cake, Microsoft handed out prototype
Samsung PCs to developers attending BUILD with the Windows 8 Developer Preview
already installed. "We reimagined Windows," said Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft. "From the chipset to the user experience, Windows 8 brings a new range of capabilities without compromise."
The biggest news, however, is that general consumers can
download the Windows 8 Developer Preview starting TONIGHT at 8:00 PM Pacific Time at the following link. The developer preview will run on both
32-bit (can't we kill you already??!!) and 64-bit x86 computers. No activation
will be required for those that choose to install the software, but you will
need a Windows Live ID to initiate the download.
Be prepared for slow servers as everyone and their grandma
will be rushing to get in line to get their "Metro on" with Windows
Updated 8:28pm EST
The Windows 8 Developer Preview can be downloaded RIGHT NOW.

Tackling 'sinister consequences' of intellectual property crime needs public-private cooperation
DUBLIN, Ireland – Closer cooperation between the public and private sectors to combat the 'sinister consequences' of illicit trade and counterfeiting is essential, delegates were told at the opening of 2013 International Law Enforcement Intellectual Property (IP) Crime Conference.
Bringing together some 500 delegates from more than 60 countries, the three-day conference (15 - 17 October) co-hosted by INTERPOL and the An Garda Siochána, in partnership with UL, will address a range of issues behind IP crime.
Pointing to the terror attack on the 'In Amenas' gas facility in Algeria in January masterminded by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, known as 'Mr Marlboro' for his illicit trade activities, INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble warned of the very real consequences and dangers of criminal and terrorist networks gaining funding through illicit trade and counterfeiting.
"The risk of relying solely on law enforcement services could be too high for the safety and security of citizens worldwide," said Secretary General Noble.
"We face a reality where our governments have increasingly limited abilities to financially support the fight against illicit trade, a reality where private sector entities are also affected and willing to join this fight.
"Profits from crime could be reaching anyone, anywhere, and INTERPOL believes that now is not only the time to act, but to anticipate, innovate, partner and be proactive," concluded the INTERPOL Chief, pointing to the successes already achieved though INTERPOL's Trafficking in Illicit Goods and Counterfeiting (TIGC) programme.
Since its launch in 2012 actions coordinated via INTERPOL's TIGC programme have already led to the seizure of more than USD 300 million in counterfeit items and hundreds of arrests worldwide.
Ireland's Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan said, "The importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors in the fight against IP crime cannot be understated. Consumers are put at risk through the sale of inferior, dangerous goods. Businesses are deprived of a return for their investment in the product's development. Governments and citizens lose out on revenue and employment opportunities.
"An Garda Síochána is committed to working with partner organizations in order to minimize the manufacture and distribution of counterfeit products, and we are delighted to once again be hosting an IP Crime Conference," concluded Commissioner Callinan.
"Counterfeiting is an ongoing issue, which is why this conference is so important," said UL President and CEO Keith Williams. "In order to keep counterfeit goods out of the marketplace, continued education of frontline defenders as well as consumers is critical."
The opening ceremony of the conference saw John Anderson, Chairman of the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group officially present the 'International Public Body' award to INTERPOL Secretary General Noble in recognition of the world police body's 'exceptional' work.
In addition to plenary sessions, operational workshops and interactive roundtables, the conference will also see the launch of an innovative education pack to raise awareness amongst children in relation to the health and safety concerns linked to counterfeit and pirated products.
