It is possible that the main title of the report Ablepharon Macrostomia Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Ablepharon-Macrostomia Syndrome (AMS) is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by various physical abnormalities affecting the head and facial (craniofacial) area, the skin, the fingers, and the genitals. In addition, affected individuals may have malformations of the nipples and the abdominal wall. Infants and children with AMS may also experience delays in language development and, in some cases, mental retardation.
In infants with Ablepharon-Macrostomia Syndrome, characteristic craniofacial features may include absence or severe underdevelopment of the upper and lower eyelids (ablepharon or microblepharon) as well as absence of eyelashes and eyebrows; an unusually wide, "fish-like" mouth (macrostomia); and/or incompletely developed (rudimentary), low-set ears (pinnae). Abnormalities of the eyes may occur due to, or in association with, ablepharon or microblepharon. Individuals with AMS may also have additional characteristic features including abnormally sparse, thin hair; thin, wrinkled skin with excess (redundant) folds; webbed fingers with limited extension; and/or malformations of the external genitals. In some cases, additional features associated with AMS may include absent or abnormally small (hypoplastic) nipples and/or abdominal wall abnormalities. Although the exact cause of Ablepharon-Macrostomia Syndrome is not fully understood, some cases suggest that the disorder may be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.

Biological Sciences
Research Highlights
April 2005
Shewanella profiling paper appears in PNAS
Researchers within the U.S. Department of Energy's Shewanella Federation have implemented an integrative approach using experimental and computational analyses to provide more detailed insight into the function of genes in the Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 genome. This metabolically versatile organism can reduce a wide range of organic compounds, metal ions, and radionuclides. The paper describing their results appeared in the February 8 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The results presented in this paper represent an important step towards obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of microbial genomes and developing the ability to predict biological function from genome sequence.
Jim Fredrickson, a co-author on the paper and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory chief scientist, leads the Shewanella Federation is a multi-investigator and cross-institutional consortium formed to characterize and model the biology of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The federation is funded by the DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research through their Genomics: Genomes to Life program. In addition to BIATECH, PNNL and Argonne National Laboratory, the Federation also includes teams led by study co-authors James M. Tiedje, Michigan State University; Kenneth H. Nealson, University of Southern California; and Monica Riley, Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole.
The paper's lead author is Eugene Kolker, BIATECH. Other contributing institutions include Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the Wadsworth Center, and The Scripps Research Institute.

help needed
I have problems with open source. I have a Dell Inspiron 537 n series which came with Ubuntu 9.04 installed. The ethernet adaptor is a Realtek 8169/8169S/8110S based PCI adapter (re). I have been unable to download
Desktop BSD, PC BSD, and every livecd that I have attempted including Gparted. I have been able to download OpenBSD 4.6 and FreeBSD 8.0, but I can't make them work either. With OpenBSD I used dhcp for my cable modem
and it got results, but I could not get anywhere with the ethernet card. When it was loaded, I could ping websites, but I could not get into the ftp site to obtain packages (not found). As for FreeBSD, I could not
find a combination of addresses that would get me to the internet. Rtfm? I have, and have read much of, three books on UNIX, five books on FreeBSD, two books on BSD, and one book on OpenBSD. Any help out there? I
also have a suggestion for a new category for the forum to consider. Troubleshooting. When a person has a problem, he could post in Troubleshooting. Anyone who wants to help, but without a verbose explanation, could
suggest page number and chapter number in a book or the Handbook or FAQ.
Thanks for your consideration.
The OpenBSD installation procedure is described in http://openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html
Where did you get stuck?
Re: troubleshooting section
Nearly all forums sections are about troubleshooting, so IMHO no special section for that purpose is needed
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
$ ifconfig
$ echo $PKG_PATH
Lastly, tell us which mirror site you were using.
Slow progress
Thanks for the advice on ifconfig. Below is the result for Ubuntu and the addresses for eth1 are the same as those for OpenBSD 4.6.

but I could not get into the OpenBSD ftp site to obtain packages (not found). But with both of the above mentioned loading methods I could get into a FreeBSD site. I was connected to moss.cse.buffaloedu. This is one reason I didn't
include the above information completely. I forgot to enter echo $pkg_path. To get to this forum I have to reload Ubuntu.
Tanks again.
Last edited by Carpetsmoker; 2nd May 2010 at 04:45 PM. Reason: Add [code] tags
Here is what I entered: "//ftp.openbsd.org/pub/openbsd/4.6/packages/" and "pkg_add
-v ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/openbsd/4.6/packages/i386/<package>".
However, when I entered "ftp -a ftp2.freebsd.org" I was connected to "moss.cse.buffalo.edu".
I have an openbsd 4.6 disc I downloaded from the internet. And no, I did not do a checksum. That's beyond my capabilies presently.
help needed
Thanks for the help. I am slowly progressing. # export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/packages/i386/ worked for me, and when entering # echo $PKG_PATH, the exact string was displayed but, for whatever reason, not always. I also noticed that the PKG_PATH did not carry over when you shut the power off. When I entered pkg_add Mozilla* and Firefox* though, they were not loaded saying something like "unable to resolve". Also, when these files are loaded there has got to be something done in way of configuration. They do not just start functioning automatically, do they? When I browsed a mirror site in Ubuntu, the instructions said connect to the site and go into the directory pub/OpenBSD/4.6/ and this is a list of files you will see. I could not get into that directory let alone download a file. Following are a few more questions I need answers to. I often see read the README file, but I still do not know how to display a README file. When I do not get any results from a command, I see ksh: before the reason for failure. Does this mean I have to be in the korn shell to use that command? My immediate goal is to install a window manager, a desktop, and a browser so that BSD can be functional for me while I learn the intricacies of the OpenBSD shell way of life. Recently I downloaded the Jiggmi OpenBSD live cd and when I booted it the result was the same as OpenBSD on my hard drive. Although the cd was named Firefox only fvwm was displayed when I entered startx. Booting up a linux live cd gives you a Mozilla desktop and a Firefox browser. Last but certainly not least is a security question when it comes to live cds. When making a financial transaction wouldn't the most secure way be by using a live cd since only ram is used? Thanks again.
Be aware that the versions of packages are tightly bound to the version of the operating system. Only OpenBSD 4.6 packages can be installed on OpenBSD 4.6. Mixing & matching versions is not supported by the project.
Yet to your question about "starting", the answer is "no". Installing Firefox does not mean that an instance of the application will be invoked at the end of installation.

Courtney Lee getting accustomed to reserve role for the Celtics
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Rajon Rondo managed to extend his consecutive streak of 10 or more assists to 34 games. Perhaps down the road it won't matter that Rondo needed until 51 seconds left Sunday at the Palace of Auburn Hills to reach his 10th assist.
And maybe it won't matter that the Celtics were trailing by 21 at the time, making it apparent that Rondo was on the court for the express purpose of extending the streak. Assistant coach Mike Longabardi asked the Celtics broadcasting team of Mike Gorman and TommyHeinsohn early in the fourth quarter how many assists Rondo had. The answer was six. So coach Doc Rivers reinserted Rondo with 8:40 left in the fourth quarter and the Celtics trailing, 79-65. He played 8:24 before leaving with 16.1 left, having reached the mark. Rivers freely admitted after a listless performance in his team's 103-83 loss, the primary goal was to extend the streak.
"Yeah, why not?'' River said. "You guys keep talking about [the streak]. I figured I'd give him a shot at it. It's funny, the harder [the players] tried [to get the assists] the worst we got at that. Jared [Sullinger] gave him his final two [assists]. So that was good. You know when I called a timeout and I said, 'Guys we're going to lose the game, by the way, so let's not play crazy, but if we can get him two more, let's do it. If not, that's it.' It's the first time we've done that.''
Rondo is three games behind John Stockton, who amassed 37 games of double-digit assists over the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons. Magic Johnson holds the record of 46 that began at the end of the 1982-83 season and ran into 1983-84.
Rondo was asked if extending the streak in garbage time was a hollow feat. "You don't know what happened when Stockton got his,'' he said. "You don't know if he stayed in the game and was up 30 or down 30. Now we're in the present, so now you probably look at it with a lot more attention as far as wins and losses.''
Slow adjustment
The Celtics signed Courtney Lee to be their starting shooting guard, at least until Avery Bradley returns. That lasted five games, and Lee now has become a sparkplug off the bench without the pressure of scoring. Lee's shot is going down with more regularity, although the attempts and opportunities have dwindled. Jason Terry is the starting shooting guard now and he has flourished in that role, meaning Lee will be coming off the bench indefinitely. He scored 3 points Sunday in 19:53, attempting just two shots.
"It's just whatever the team needs me to do, that's all,'' said Lee, who is averaging 5 points off the bench. "Whether it's start or come off the bench,
Doc Rivers said he's going to have interchangeable lineups. As long as it's working, whatever the team needs me to do.''
One of Lee's early issues was a lack of aggression. He averaged just 5.6 shots per game during his five starts. "Usually nobody has to tell me [to be aggressive],'' he said. "I don't know what it is. Usually I'm just trying to get the best shot possible.''
Rivers said he understands Lee's difficult transition but it's something he'll have to accept. "It's his role, but it's not that easy, especially [since] Courtney started most places and played a lot of minutes,'' he said. "He's still playing a decent amount of minutes, not starting, not featured a lot, so I just think it takes a lot of getting used to. He can score but he's not a scorer.''
His sympathies
Pistons coach Lawrence Frank is a former Celtics assistant who left the club to take the Detroit job. So far it's been a difficult transition back to head coaching for Frank, who entered Sunday's game 27-50 as Pistons coach and 2-9 this season. Detroit is stockpiling talent, attempting to rid itself of bad contracts and aging veterans left over from the glory days, but the Pistons are painfully young. Rivers and Frank talk often and the Celtics coach expressed sympathy for Frank's situation. "I mean, he has talent but they're all young,'' Rivers said. "It's just tough to win with young players.'' . . . The Celtics played without former Piston Darko Milicic, who missed the game because of personal reasons
. . . The Celtics will take Monday off and return to practice Tuesday in preparation for Wednesday's showdown with the Spurs at TD Garden.

Robert Meachem's time with the Chargers has reached an end.
The club will release the 28-year-old wide receiver on Saturday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Meachem caught just 14 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns in 2012, his first season with the Chargers after signing a lucrative contract in free agency. He is guaranteed $5 million in salary this season, per Rotoworld figures.
Nevertheless, the Chargers are moving on.
The question now is whether another club gives Meachem a chance. In five seasons with New Orleans (2007-2011), Meachem showed an ability to stretch the field with his speed. Overall, he's gained 16.0 yards per catch in his NFL career.

Dalai Lama
We are proud to celebrate 30 years as a leading publisher for His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Serving as the spiritual leader for the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama frequently describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. Recipient of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, His Holiness often states that his life is guided by three major commitments: the promotion of basic human values or secular ethics in the interest of human happiness, the fostering of interreligious harmony, and securing the welfare of the Tibetan people. His books with Wisdom are excellent expressions of his scholarly curiosity and compassionate vision for the contemporary world.

Miller implements mythological, ecological, and humanistic themes in order to address ideas of technology and progress and "the struggle to find meaning in a world poised between expansion and decay." His dreamy and angelic compositions reflect contemporary concerns with a classic and realist style. Imagery that might at first appear dated and inaccessible becomes relatable and modern upon closer inspection.

A mother and her two daughters have been indicted for embezzlement from a medical practice in New Bern.
A mother and her two daughters have been indicted for embezzlement from a medical practice in New Bern.
Lisa Moore Norton, 53, and her two daughters, Katherine Norton Cannon, 21, and Courtney Norton, 19, all of New Bern face charges of systematic theft of more than $100,000 from Carolina Craniospinal Neurosurgery PLLC, a practice on Neuse Boulevard.
Craven County District Attorney Scott Thomas said the indictments by the grand jury came after an investigation into the theft of money from the practice.
He said the charges include obtaining property by false pretense against all of the women.
Lisa Norton was office manager at Craniospinal Neurosurgery for several years.
Thomas said Lisa Norton was in charge of handling the income and expense payments for the physicians employed there. Katherine Cannon and Courtney Norton were occasional employees of the practice in the past, but had not been employed for many months when the theft was discovered.
Warrants state the alleged offense occurred between July 10, 2009, and Jan. 4 of this year.
All defendants have court appearances in Craven County Superior Court scheduled during the week of June 10. All of the defendants are out of jail after posting secured bails.

The first estimate for the insured losses from the deadly tornadoes that ravaged the Midwest at the end of Feb. says the storms could generate as much as $2 billion in claims.
Catastrophe modeler EQECAT says the severe weather that formed two volatile weather systems during the period from Feb. 28 to March 3 produced an estimated $1-$2 billion in insured losses. The weather events included tornadoes, hail, and strong winds over an area that covered 12 states, from the Deep South to as far north as Ohio and Illinois, according to National Weather Service (NWS) maps. Most of the more than 150 tornadoes, a preliminary count, occurred in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Alabama, reports EQECAT.
See related article: 2012 Tornado Destruction in Pictures
The modeler adds that the storm systems essentially caused a month's worth of tornadoes in just a few days, and that "tornado activity for the year is well above average with 272 tornadoes versus the seven-year (2005-2011) average of 123 (through March 4).
EQECAT says an EF-4 tornado, with wind gusts of between 166 and 200 miles per hour, destroyed 200 homes and businesses in Harrisburg, Ill.
According to NWS, there have been 49 deaths from the tornado outbreaks so far this year. Historically, January through March is a quiet period in terms of tornado outbreaks, while the most active months are April through July. Last year proved a particularly active April with 758 tornadoes.

A short history of the cemeteries in Denmark
There are two large cemeteries in Copenhagen - the oldest, "Mosaisk Nordre Kirkegaard" in Møllegade established in 1693 and in use until 1967, and the other "Mosaisk Vestre Cemetery" established in 1886 which is still in use.
Furthermore there are Jewish cemeteries in ten provincial towns in Denmark: The two oldest are those in Fredericia and in Nakskov both presumed to have been established around 1700.
Then after almost a century follows Faaborg established in 1795, Randers in 1807, Aalborg in 1810, Assens in 1824 and Odense in 1824. And even later cemeteries are established in Århus, Slagelse, Horsens.
All these cemeteries will be digitized and made available for online search on:
The listings of burials from some of the below mentioned cemeteries which were found on the Scancinavia SIG website - Denmark will be removed, as the information is now available on the JOWBR. The listings from the Copenhagen Western Cemetery will not be removed as only a part of the burials there (from 1886-1915) can be found on the JOWBR.
At present JOWBR contains information from the following Danish cemeteries (6 cemeteries, 1300 burials):
Several books listing the burials in some or all of the cemeteries have been published:

As opposed to prongs, French-set diamonds are set closely together with exposed sides to allow more light to enter each diamond, creating maximum sparkle. The diamond is also held by a gleaming bead of metal that is carefully placed by the jeweler. French setting allows the spacing between the diamonds to be very close, creating a beautiful line of brilliance.

The security of strong metal prongs can just as easily hold two diamonds in place. The advantage? A continuous band of brilliance. A shared-prong setting allows for diamonds to nearly touch, creating a row of brilliant, closely-set diamonds. Princess-cut diamonds create the most streamlined look, while round diamonds with a white metal can be just as dramatic.

Today's Content Delivery Networks: Not Your Grandmother's CDN
By now it should be clear that the worlds of video and IP are gathering like the wind and the wet of a storm. No matter where you look, or whose numbers you like, video is quickly becoming the major component of all Internet traffic.
From vendors, and service and content providers, we see sustained waves of news. From Cisco is our recent CRS-3 router announcement – a super-sized router, optimized for video services. And you will be hearing us talk more about our Content Delivery System (or Cisco CDS) – our platform for personalized video services delivery – and how it now integrates critical technologies like dynamic service routing with proximity.
Why is video delivery getting so much attention? Because video isn't easy. It has very strict requirements, from creation to playback. Add to that the meteoric growth of video content that is taking place, and the new ways people are interacting with video, such as watching content at more places, and on more screens. We can understand why delivering video services effectively is becoming ever more complex.
So we now find service providers constantly searching for new ways to distribute content efficiently. A key way to make that happen is by combining network intelligence with business-based rules. For example, it makes sense to have the closest content server assigned to provide content to a subscriber- but only if the connection is reliable, the cost of connectivity reasonable, and the server isn't over-subscribed. Otherwise, a server farther way might be a better option for the most efficient delivery, and for the highest quality of experience to the customer.
Let's focus now on the Cisco CDS. For CDS to do its massive job even better, we have recently integrated some pretty sophisticated dynamic service routing capabilities to it. They take into account elements like content affinity, load, business rules, and localization, or proximity, every time it decides how a specific video will be delivered. Our proximity technology is network-based, so it is able to "listen" really well to what is happening in the network, getting more accurate information on its health and resources, and faster. It is all about intelligently finding the best, most efficient route for sending us the video we want.
It so happens that some of these service routing technologies, and proximity in particular, are of the same kind you find in our CRS-3 router. As you have probably guessed, this isn't a coincidence. We are constantly working on extending intelligence throughout the network, so that it can be optimized for video delivery – so that it can become a medianet.
Here's another way to look at it: CRS-3 is all about video optimization, at enormous scale, in the core. Service routing on Cisco CDS is all about the same thing, at the edge of the network. This matters a lot to our customers. Video services is their key offering, and the better they can utilize their network, the more efficient their delivery – and the better their customers' experience.
The industry is paying attention. Cisco CDS just won the "Best Internet TV Technology / Solution," at the IPTV World Forum in London (March 23 to 25). CDS was also granted the China Radio and TV (CRTA) Scientific and Technological Innovation Award at the CCBN broadcast show in Beijing that same week. It's a wonderful acknowledgment of all our efforts to make medianets a reality.

As a follow-up to "Why Mormons Make the Best Presidents", here is my take on why Mormonism and American Exceptionalism go hand-in-hand.
First, you have to understand that Mormons get their name from a man they consider a prophet of God. The man—named Mormon, of course—lived on the American continent between A.D. 321 and A.D. 385. He was the editor and compiler of the ancient scriptural record called "The Book of Mormon", which he put together as a spiritual record of his fallen people who were destroyed in a bloody internecine war.
And, he did wrote it as a prophetic warning to us for exactly this time in our history. He saw our day in a vision from God and compiled the book according to what he observed in the vision. This book is written for us and we would all do well to read it at least once.
Throughout the Book of Mormon you will find many mentions of how America is an exceptional and special place. The book tells us that it was hidden from the rest of the world as a "promised land" that could only be possessed by those who served "the God of the land", which is Jesus Christ. The righteous could live there indefinitely while the wicked would be "swept off the face of the land". It was to be a place of freedom and liberty to those who accept Christ and keep God's commandments.
Centrally, the record focuses on the visit by the resurrected Christ to "other sheep" whom he said to those in Jerusalem "are not of this fold". Christ's appearance to those people resulted in their passing along the experience to their descendants with such conviction that they could not help but have 200 years of peace in that part of the land.
Mormons believe this record is true, even if others do not. It gives us great hope when personal storms arise, or when national tempests, such as this election, threaten to destroy everything. We believe God's promises to the inhabitants of this land, that if the majority of its inhabitants are faithful and believe in God, they will be free.
So, quite naturally, we Mormons get a little excited when, during the most defining moment in our nation's history, where we are on the precipice of choosing socialism's slavery or Constitutional freedom, one of our own, Mitt Romney, is so close to being elected as the President of the United States of America. We don't believe Romney is anything more than a man, with liabilities like anyone else might have (and in spite of the disputable, non-doctrinal LDS "White Horse Prophecy"). But, we do have hope that what he was taught in his home and in church settings about this blessed land will have an influence on his term(s) in office, should he be elected.
You see, this election comes down to the answer to a single question: Is America exceptional, or should it be brought down to the level of other nations in the world?
Our current president is on the record as stating that he only believes America is exceptional in the sense that Greeks believe that Greece is exceptional or that the British believe that Britain is exceptional. He finished that thought by saying that "in order for us to work collectively, all parties have to compromise and that includes us."
The present occupant of the White House believes that America needs to compromise its values and principles to conform to the notions of governance that other nations adhere to. This presumably (because of his choice of the word "collectively") includes implementing, under pressure or threat by other nations, principles of Socialism and Communism into the American experiment.
Mormons don't vote in a bloc. Believe it or not, we're not all white Republicans and we don't all vote straight ticket conservative. There are Mormons who subscribe to the Democrat party platform, the Libertarian party, the Constitution party, and just about every other type of party. There are even Mormons who subscribe to the principles of the Communist party (however misguided that association might be). The Church is politically neutral, allows its members to vote privately for whomever the individual wishes, and does not discipline or excommunicate people on the basis of their political beliefs.
However, it is undeniable that the majority of American Mormons do vote in line with conservative principles (if not always on party lines). That is because, by and large, the principles found in their scriptures and revealed doctrines are overwhelmingly conservative in contrast to the increasingly permissive and "progressive" worldview promulgated by American popular culture.
As might be expected of a church that was founded in America, Mormons believe strongly in the First Amendment guarantee to worship freely.
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
In our meetings, whenever the subject of discussion is what we call "free agency" (the unalienable right of every person to choose his own path in life), we often reflect with gratitude on the blessings of liberty granted to us under the Constitution. We remark on the many miracles that accompanied the founding of this nation and we marvel at how undeniably God's Hand was in all of it.
When we pray, we thank God that we live in a country and political system where we are (still) free to worship and establish Christ's Kingdom. We pray for our troops, who protect us, and we pray that our leaders, from the local to the federal level, will be inspired with wisdom and righteousness so that the country can prosper.
We pray this way because we take seriously the warnings left to us in the Book of Mormon. Here is the summarized list of those warnings.
- We are to watch our leaders for their participation in "secret combinations" (lies, frauds, and conspiracies) and not let such things "get above" us or escape our notice. Apathy is the enemy of freedom.
- We are to defend our lands, our families, and our freedom to worship, and to prioritize personal and national sovereignty and its defense so as to avoid physical slavery at the hands of those seeking power over mankind.
- We are to avoid contentions and internal strife so that we will not be weak upon enemy attack. We are to be united in righteousness.
Because these concepts are threaded throughout the entire book, thus making it particularly difficult to adequately call out properly contextualized examples, and because it is partially my goal to encourage more people to read this uniquely pro-American book of scripture, I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to find these treasures of wisdom. You can start here with the story of a family who, seeking to escape societal collapse and Babylonian captivity, fled Jerusalem near 600 B.C. and were led to America's promised lands.
In closing, I leave you with the following video montage to help encapsulate the concept of "free agency" as it is understood by Mormons.
Are these not the very principles upon which America was founded? Is not American exceptionalism, at its root, a belief that rights come from God, and not from government? Is that not worth fighting for with every vote and with every conversation we have between now and Election Day?
Any questions? Just ask me in the comments, or on Twitter @proud2b4family.
Please think about what you've read here as you cast your ballot on Tuesday.

Hey All,
I've got a few things I'd like to get rid of that are barely used if anyone's interested...
1 ULCS - Ikelite handle adapter #BA-IK ($20). This is the ball adaptor needed to attach ULCS arms to the Ikelite quick release handles. I used it on about 15 dives when I had my Ikelite Sony housing, no need now that I have a Sea&Sea.
1 Ikelite Wireless TTL sensor for a DS-50 / 125 ($75). Switched to a sync cord so I don't need it anymore. Roughly the same usage as the adapter above.
1 Ikelite arm set for DS-50 ($50). This is the standard arm set that comes with the DS-50. Roughly 15 dives on this as well. Switched to ULCS when I got the S&S housing. Includes the adapter that actually attaches to the DS-50 as well, since I switched to ULCS arms.
All prices are negotiable since I just want to get rid of this stuff, buyer pays the shipping from NJ. Sorry, I'm not going to ship outside the US. I'll put it up on eBay soon if nobody bites...
Email or PM me for more details or pics of the parts.

At present I´m equipped with a 2002 CO2 9.0 and a F One TT 180. I wonder how far I could go up and if maybe a 13.0 Hydro would suit my quiver as 11.5 CO2 might have a bit too much overlap and 14.5 is already monster class. My weight is 90 kgs.
Your experience and advise ?

AMERICAN FORK, UT – UFOs dropped aliens, in "alien pods," on Utah last week.
Numerous red flare-like objects were seen over Utah last week. Authorities in Utah and those working for the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials have confirmed that the "flare-like" objects were in fact pods dropped by alien spacecrafts.
There were over 5,000 reports of the Utah UFOs.
The UFOs in Utah were spotted on the same night that there were multiple sightings of a single UFO above the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel.
Several residents in American Fork and Highland spotted three red lights hovering low in the sky, intermittently dropping what looked to be white lights which then disappeared.
"Those white lights are pods carrying between 5 and 10 aliens from Planet Zeeba," said John Malley of the SETI Institute. (SETI is an acronym for Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence.)
The sightings were of three red objects flying slowly and silently in formation. They all released the white "pods" simultaneously and then disappeared.
"They looked like they were flying in formation perfectly together and then whatever was dropped looked like it was burning real bright," witness Mike Galbraith, an Air Force pilot said.
"The trails of white lights falling from the objects were definitely not military flares. "They usually shoot out the sides, or they shoot down, and there are a lot of them and you could definitely hear them." Galbraith said the UFOs were silent.
"There is an ongoing cover-up by governments around the world to protect citizens from the truth," Malley said. "Aliens are invading our planet and will be doing so until 2015. We have to address this issue. I think its the greatest challenge to the human race. We must take action now."

The lines work well enough in the given context – this is a world of double-crossers and triple-crossers, and Vinod (probably not his real name) doesn't know if Ruby (definitely not her real name) can be trusted – but the seasoned viewer will catch another, more playful layer: the girl who was serenaded thus in the 1960s film – Kashmir ki Kali – was played by Saif's real-life mother Sharmila Tagore. (In an earlier scene in Agent Vinod, Ruby injects Vinod with truth serum and persistently asks "What did your mother call you when you were a child?" - a question that might acquire a different shade when you remember that Kareena and Saif are in a relationship offscreen.)
If any of this confuses you, you are clearly new to the world of Hindi movies. In an industry dominated by the cult of the star personality and built on dynasties – with star children and grandchildren proliferating everywhere – it isn't surprising to find sly little allusions and homages of this sort. Nor is this an entirely new phenomenon: sticking with the Kapoors, one wonders if Raj Kapoor was being a touch devilish in giving his grandfather Dewan Basheswarnath a tiny part as a judge in his 1951 film Awaara, considering that the old man had once "decreed" that no one from his family would join films!
Much has been written on mainstream movies indulging their stars, even if it means winking at the audience at the cost of a narrative's internal rhythm: I've lost count of the number of times Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan have appeared together in "cameo" scenes that exist merely to add to the family-video collection (Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag and Delhi 6 being among the most embarrassing cases). But nudge-nudge moments can exist even in lower-profile films – the ones we tend to associate with integrity - and in scenes involving non-starry actors.
Early in the 1987 movie Jalwa, two friends – one doing push-ups, the other walking by – see each other from a distance and engage in a bit of playful name-calling. "May your mother-in-law run away with a eunuch!" one yells. "May your sister-in-law marry a gorilla!" the other replies. Credible buddy-buddy banter, you'd think, but there's a subtext. The actors playing this scene – Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor – were wedded to sisters in real life, and their mother-in-law was the venerable actress Dina Pathak. There is probably a minuscule chance that the dialogue is coincidental, but we should know better.
Shah and Kapoor were – then, as now – among our most respected actors; the sort of performers who are (in a somewhat simplistic view of acting) expected to always "sink" into their parts and leave "themselves" behind. But both men have appeared in films containing inside references that are best appreciated by the other members of the crew. In fact, Kapoor's character in Jalwa is named Albert Pinto, which is an allusion to one of Shah's early roles (the name has also slyly been used in other films such as Jaane bhi do Yaaro - which also mentions its own director, Kundan Shah, in its opening scene).
When we see a finished film – especially a good, satisfying film created by a pooling together of notable talents – it's possible to forget that the cast and crew weren't just professionals doing their jobs; that they may also have been exhanging private jokes behind the scenes and finding small ways to keep themselves entertained during what is often a mundane, long-drawn-out and frustrating process.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Conservatives are fond of saying our society is sliding in a culture of entitlement.I agree. There, I've said it. I've admitted it to myself. Our once-proud nation of individualists and self-starters, of boot-strappers and pioneers, of neighbors and friends, has become a nation of farm animals, waiting to be treated to the next slop of the bucket. Evidence...Yes, I agree, there needs to be evidence. Without it such a charge should be considered treasonous. Sadly, the evidence is all too obvious, resting in each failed orchestra and closing art gallery, each struggling museum and -- harsh though it may seem, it is true -- each downsized free clinic and shuttered homeless shelter. Read TheStreet's Brian O'Connell, Charities Are Already Feeling Dropoff From Fiscal Cliff Uncertainty. In that article, he cites a poll showing 15% of Americans have decided to donate less to charity this year. More than a third of those said their personal financial situation left them reconsidering their giving levels. A third also singled out rising health-care costs. True, the incomes of all Americans have suffered mightily. Savings plans were badly impaired by, first, a recession and second, a limping excuse for economic growth. On top of that, the costs of surviving to old age in this grim world have gone up. Then there's the impending "fiscal cliff" taxation -- again roughly a third of those polled cited this as a reason to give less. The president of the company who commissioned the study offers this quote in O'Connell's article:
. . . with annual charitable giving here in the U.S. still $12 billion below 2007 levels, and no real recovery so far this year, this is not an encouraging sign for nonprofits. . . .Seems self-evident, doesn't it? Incomes fall, costs and taxes rise...of course, charitable donations take a hit. But, I submit, it is self-evident because the evil of entitlement has already penetrated to our hearts. Good people have become accustomed to bad ideas, allowing themselves to be led. Laziness passes for freedom. Let me share a quick story, from the small rural community where I'm originally from, down in the Ohio River Valley. First character: A middle-aged woman, mother of seven kids and wife of a farmer who owns a small sawmill.

Washington, D.C., Dec. 6, 2011 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it has frozen the assets of four Chinese citizens and a Chinese-based entity charged with insider trading in advance of a merger announcement by educational companies based in London and Beijing.
The SEC moved quickly to obtain an emergency court order to freeze assets just two weeks after the suspicious trading by Sha Chen, Song Li, Lili Wang, and Zhi Yao, who have U.S.-based brokerage accounts. Some of them already attempted to liquidate or transfer their illicit profits.
The SEC alleges that they purchased American Depository Shares (ADS) of Beijing-based Global Education and Technology Group in the two weeks leading up to a November 21 public announcement of a planned merger with London-based Pearson plc. Some of their brokerage accounts were dormant until they bet heavily on Global Education shares, and some of the purchases made either equaled or exceeded the stated annual income of that trader. After the agreement was announced, they immediately began selling some of their Global Education shares. Their illicit gains totaled more than $2.7 million.
"On the basis of non-public information, these traders suddenly purchased massive amounts of Global Education shares in U.S. brokerage accounts that had been largely inactive," said Merri Jo Gillette, Director of the SEC's Chicago Regional Office. "We're pleased the court immediately granted our order to freeze these accounts before proceeds from the illegal trades could be transferred outside U.S. jurisdiction."
The SEC also charged All Know Holdings Ltd. and one or more unknown purchasers of Global Education stock in its complaint filed on December 5 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
According to the SEC's complaint, Pearson and Global Education each announced before trading began on November 21 that Pearson agreed to acquire all of Global Education's outstanding stock for $294 million ($11.006 per share traded in the U.S.). Global Education's stock price increased 97 percent that day, from $5.37 to $10.60.
The SEC alleges that Chen, Li, Wang, and Yao made their purchases of Global Education's ADS shares while in possession of material, non-public information about the merger. A Global Education co-founder and Chairman of the Board apparently tipped Wang and possibly others about the potential acquisition. Wang then transferred new funds into her previously dormant brokerage account and bought 28,000 Global Education shares. The others also engaged in similarly suspicious trading in Global Education stock, which was typically thin. On November 18, the last trading day before the acquisition announcement, their purchases accounted for more than 35 percent of the entire day's trading volume for the company's shares, which trade on the NASDAQ.
The SEC alleges that the defendants each violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In addition to the emergency relief, the SEC seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and financial penalties. The emergency court order that the SEC obtained on December 5 on an ex parte basis freezes more than $2.7 million of defendants' assets held in U.S. brokerage accounts and, among other things, grants expedited discovery and prohibits the defendants from destroying evidence.
The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Allison M. Fakhoury, Brian N. Hoffman, Steven L. Klawans, Delia L. Helpingstine, John E. Kustusch, Felisha K. Clay and Terri Y. Roberts in the Chicago Regional Office. The SEC's litigation effort will be led by Benjamin J. Hanauer and Daniel J. Hayes. The Commission thanks the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for its assistance in this matter.

Hey blogger. Get over yourself. Seriously.
Edited by Vahni of Grit & Glamour
This week I'm fresh out of love and rainbows, so there will be no kumbaya intro. Doesn't mean I don't love y'all, but I have got to tell you that lately, I'm a wee bit peeved by the fame-whoring and big-noting going on in the fashion blogosphere (and Twitterverse). Who of us doesn't want brand endorsements and blogging fame? We're all stars in our own right, and there is nothing wrong with ambition. But no one likes a self-absorbed, one-sided braggart. And no one likes an ass-kisser. Period.
Have you given props to someone other than yourself lately? Is every status update about hyping you? Is everything in your life now about the blog? As Emily of Ruby Slipper Journeys wonders in her post, are you capturing reality on your blog or manufacturing it? If any of this sounds like you, you might be on the road to becoming a full-blown fame monster. Maybe it's time to check yourself.
A Challenge
If you're destined for blogging fame, it will come through dedication, professionalism, and genuine respect. Through interaction, supporting your community, and authenticity. Let's take blogging back to its roots. This week's roundup is chock full of posts teeming with creativity, wit, and wisdom. I challenge you all to not only read and comment on at least 10 blog posts, but to share them as well. Find something that resonates with you and tweet it, like it, stumble it.

For a stronger lawn, keep the height at 3 or 4 inches
For years I have recommended cutting fescue and bluegrass lawns to a height no less than three inches, even better four inches, for a stronger, weed-free lawn. Many people object to this height and cannot understand why I insist. The answer is simple.
Consider each blade of grass a factory. The bigger the factory, the greater the production. A tall blade of grass is capable of producing more food to feed the roots through photosynthesis than a short blade of grass. Tall blades feed a bigger and deeper root system capable of absorbing more water and nutrients from the soil and of storing more energy, which helps each blade of grass recover after being mowed.
Sow in Double Rows
You can save space and increase yields by sowing some crops in double rows. Instead of making only a single row of carrots, beets, onions, radishes and parsnips, consider making two rows six to eight inches apart. By doing so, you will be significantly increasing the volume of those vegetables in your harvest.
If the cutting blades of the mower are sharp and the mower wheels are properly adjusted, a lawn mowed to four inches tall is just as attractive as one that is mowed to two.
The taller lawn will have fewer weeds because the grass is so vigorous that it out-competes the weeds, especially those that tend to spread horizontally like crabgrass, dandelions, plantain and clover.
Tall grass tends to hide the fallen grass clippings quickly. And when you let cut grass settle down between the blades, temperatures at the base of the grass plants are cooler, and the humidity is higher, both encouraging the clippings to compost in place.
Since grass clippings contain three to four percent nitrogen, upon composting in place that nitrogen — as well as all other nutrients — is released into the soil for the roots to absorb. Thus, by cutting your grass tall and letting it fall, you recover a third to a half of the nitrogen needs of your turf.
Furthermore, if you cut tall and let the grass clippings fall, your lawn will not accumulate thatch because the clippings rot in place. Grass cut less than three inches tall loses that advantage.
When you mow, your lawn less than three inches tall, the clippings do not rot in place because, lacking shade, they tend to dry out, resulting in the accumulation of thatch, which has to be removed periodically. A lawn that is mowed less than three inches tall also encourages weeds to spread. Since the blades of grass are shorter, they form a weaker root system and are less capable of competing for light, water and nutrients.

Mr. Chairman,
The promotion of full employment and decent work for all has been an area of continued focus for this Organization. From the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action to the forty-fifth and forty-sixth sessions of this Commission, productive employment, poverty eradication and social integration remain important objectives for the United Nations.
My delegation wishes to stress two key aspects of the item under our consideration: first, that the lack of full employment and decent work and its associated poverty and social disintegration offend human dignity, and second, that we can only hold the trust of the people if we listen to them and concretely take their needs into account.
Today's overall world economic situation continues to present challenges to the objective of full employment and decent work for all. The ever accelerating periodic cycles of growth and job creation on the one hand, and of recession and job losses on the other, disturb the financial and trade relations and mechanisms. At this very moment, with bated breath the world wonders where the ongoing financial woes, provoked by the crisis in the real estate sector in some of the most developed economies, would lead us.
In such economic context, this Commission is challenged to stress the need for effective ways to protect low-income families and workers from financial collapse. Most often, they are the hardest hit in times of economic downturn, thus, any policy to stimulate the economy must provide them concrete economic help. Assisting them is a question of justice and solidarity, but it is also a financially sound measure to stimulate national economies and international trade.
Such assistance can only be effective if measures taken by the stronger economies do not exacerbate the situation in the developing economies. Since this risk looms large in today's highly interdependent economy, the international community must be vigilant to prevent such practice from happening. The Holy See wishes to recall that the compelling needs of the poor have a priority claim on our conscience and on the choices financial leaders make, and as such, it is incumbent upon international fora to provide a platform to the poor because, more often than not, they are left voiceless in the search for solutions to problems that also deeply matter to them.
In order to accelerate the realization of the Copenhagen goals, it is necessary to create an environment and structures which enable people to take an active part in decision-making. Creating an enabling environment, promoting structures responsive to the needs of people and dialoging without preconditions are all integral components to regulating the world economy, better predicting its periodic cycles and finding the most appropriate measures to blunt the negative consequences of global economic downturns.
While globalisation has opened the door to economic prosperity to many people, its downsides continue to disproportionately affect the weak members of our society. Therefore, governments' response to these challenges must be guided by the moral tenet that a good society is measured by the extent to which those with responsibility attend to the needs of the weaker members, especially those most in need. A good society is one in which all benefit from the common good, and nobody is left outside the common concern. Economic policies that help low-income working people live dignified, decent lives should be a priority of any good society worthy of the name.
Finally, my delegation wishes to stress that trust, earned rather than given, among all parties is essential in the area of employment. The persistence of poverty, unemployment and social disintegration are by-products of distrust and the absence of fair relations among the various components of the economic and social mechanisms. A lack of mutual trust among parties also means a lack of confidence in the future which, in turn, means the absence of job security. People, especially the young looking for their first job, discover meaning and confidence in the future when they find long-term work with the opportunity for a deserved promotion.
The Holy See recognizes that the aforementioned issues, among others, are essential in responding to the needs of those who seek decent employment and opportunities to move out of poverty and avoid marginalization, exploitation and social disintegration. Those seeking to enhance their lives look to us for action. It is the hope of my delegation that our words here will quickly become our actions.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

On July 16, 1945, the US Army destroyed a small part of New Mexico by testing the first nuclear bomb in human history, the most powerful weapon of all time. It then proceeded to blow up 1054 more.
All of these detonations were part of separate operations, given cute code names like Wigwam and Teapot — hundreds of bombs were blown up across Pacific islands, Nevada, New Mexico, and beyond. The Army had to blow up so many to make sure they'd blow up in Moscow, when and where it counted.
Above is a sample from every single recorded test conducted by the US, until these tests were banned by international treaty in 1963. Then we just started doing them underground, instead.
As a new year is about to hit, let's be glad the world doesn't concern itself with this stuff as much. An ever so slightly less terrifying world. Better to waste money on the F-22 than on nuclear bombs, if the money absolutely has to be wasted.

In November, the U.S. and Australia announced a deal under which thousands of U.S. marines will be stationed in Darwin. What do you make of the deal?
The United States and Australia's intelligence and security relationship has been deepening since September, 2001, and this announcement is an extension of the close engagement between the two countries that has been going on for many decades. I don't think that it should be overstated given the relatively modest scale of the proposal, and nor should it come as a surprise that Australia and the United States, given their close political, military and cultural links, would make such a deal. We've been in a formal military alliance with the United States for 60 years, we've fought alongside the United States in every major conflict, and if the United States is seeking to broaden its relations, then Australia is an obvious choice.
The move appears to be part of what has been described as a U.S. pivot toward Asia. Should Australia welcome this?Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
Absolutely. The fact is that the United States never left the Asia-Pacific – it has always maintained a military and economic presence. I'm not surprised the United States is seeking a deeper and broader engagement with the nations of Asia. The social and economic change under way in Asia is extraordinary – billions of people are experiencing an economic and industrial revolution that's fundamentally altering nations and consequently strategic balances. So I would be more surprised if the United States was not deeply engaged and focusing on the changes occurring in Asia.
What does Australia bring to the table with its alliance with the United States?
This alliance is 60 years-old this year, and we've obviously been strong military allies. We've fought alongside the United States in every major conflict in the 20th and 21st centuries, so from that point of view we can be counted on. And we're also a country of this region – the Asia-Pacific is where we are based, this is where much of our trade is based, we have strong people-to-people links, and so we can offer perspectives that the United States can draw upon.
Many see Australia's foreign relations as a choice between the U.S. and China. Is it bound to be that way?
Not at all. We can balance our relationship with our largest trading partner, China, while still having a very strong alliance with the United States. We've been balancing this changing relationship for some years now. During the John Howard government years (1996 to 2007) we were able to achieve that balance with the United States as our closest military ally and China. This is one of the points of contention with the current government. Kevin Rudd as foreign minister has argued that Australia should have a new "third way" approach that avoids the extremes of conflict and kowtowing. But that's a straw man argument and isn't something any self-respecting nation, and certainly not Australia, has adopted in relation to China. In fact, if anyone is swaying erratically in terms of relations with China it would be the foreign minister.
The fact is that we don't need a new third way. What we need is a return to the firm and positive diplomacy that the Howard government provided for a dozen years. You can call that pragmatic policy a third way if you need a label, but I think that the Howard government managed to balance the relationship between China and the United States very successfully.
Is there anything the government could have done better with China?
I think Australia's Defense White Paper in 2009 sent a very mixed message to China. It essentially was prefaced on the idea that China was going to be a military threat to Australia. The issue of the white paper has been raised directly with me in Beijing because there was tacit identification of China as a potential military threat to Australia. I don't share the view that conflict with China is inevitable, and as history has shown, attempting to chart the course of nation states is a dangerous exercise fraught with speculation and mistakes.
I would say that although I disagreed with much of what it had to say about China, I do think it highlighted the need for China to show greater transparency with regards to its military build-up and long term goals, and I think that when China declared its indisputable sovereignty in the South China Sea it did cause concern throughout the region, particularly with countries with their own claims. And I think that's why nations in the region are looking for more U.S. leadership, not less, because they do want to maintain a balance between China and the United States.
Overall I think the handling of the relationship with China has lacked consistency. I know the mixed messages cause consternation in China, and the defense white paper certainly did. There were also question marks over the way the government handled the Stern-Hu case. I think the Rudd government's handling of the case left a lot to be desired.
Kevin Rudd has been hectoring China on certain occasions, and I think some of the things that the government has done haven't helped the relationship at all. There has been no progress on the free trade agreement, although the relationship between individuals remains strong across many parts of the economy. We do have different political systems, which does lead to some tensions over issues such as human rights. But we've always believed that these issues can be resolved by adopting a position of mutual respect. We do have a ministerial-level dialogue with China, although I think more could and should be made of that.

text: If you think you can tell if someone is lying from their eyes, think again. New research claims to refute the idea that particular eye movements are associated with deception.This result may frustrate amateur lie detectors, but it also throws into question a lucrative training industry based on reading eye movements. Neuro-linguistic programming is a broad family of techniques for psychotherapy and communication development. Widely considered discredited by the scientific community, NLP nonetheless enjoys great popularity on the Internet and is offered in life coaching and management training courses. One of the tenets of NLP is that eye movements reflect what the brain is doing. Looking up and to the right, for example, indicates a constructed thought, a lie, whereas looking up and left means you are accessing a memory, in other words telling the truth. "If you go online and search for NLP, people pay a lot of money to go on training courses to (learn to) detect lies," said Caroline Watt, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh and one of the authors of the study. "(Our) evidence suggests that people are wasting their money." Watt and a team of psychologists performed three experiments to test whether eye movement direction was associated with telling lies and failed to find evidence to support the NLP hypothesis. Their results were published Wednesday in the open access journal PLoS ONE. In the first experiment, the researchers filmed their subjects either lying or telling the truth, and had independent raters count the eye movements. According to NLP, from the observer's view across from the subject, looking up and left is lying, and up and right is telling the truth . Not only did they not find a directional difference between the lie and truth conditions, there also was no difference in the amount of time it took for the subjects to lie or tell the truth. Watt and colleagues took the experiment further by telling half the subjects about the NLP technique and what eye movements to look for. When this trained group rated the videos from the first experiment, they were no better at detecting lies than a naive group, and they weren't any more confident in their ratings, despite being trained in the NLP technique. Since the first two experiments were done in a lab, the psychologists wanted to test a real-world situation, where lying is more public and more high stakes. For this, they used 52 videos of international news conferences, half of which were known to contain lies. The independent raters again counted the left and right eye movements and found no difference between the truth and lie videos. "People would like to believe they have a way to detect when someone is trying to deceive them," Watt said. The NLP claim is that eye movements are "a big behavioral signal that anyone can learn to detect. Our study . . . has basically dispelled the myth that there is a relationship between particular eye movements and lying." Louisiana Tech University psychologist Jeffrey Walczyk, who was not involved in this study, praised the study. "This is a great mythbusting article. (It) serves the public good (to know) what is and what is not lying, and what the correlates of lying (are)." Watt says there are still behaviors that can indicate lying. "The way that people speak and answer, hesitating and taking a long time, holding themselves physically still because they are concentrating, all of these are giveaways." Adds Walczyk, "There is a relationship between eye movements and deception, but not as specified by NLP. (There is this) idea that people are shifty-eyed when lying, but mostly (liars) keep (their) eyes fixed and focus on something boring. (This is) one of the most reliable (signs)."

Forsht Bligo is a dwarf who loves the taste of blood. He's become quite the connoisseur over the years. Pigs blood, sheeps blood, cow's blood, if it's red and warm, Forsht considers it a delicacy. The fresher and hotter the better. Forsht will often sneak up on cattle, prick them with his dagger, and catch the flowing blood in his orc-skull drinking cup. His life goal is to taste the blood of every living animal. Although he has not yet sampled humanoid blood, he is not averse to doing so if the right opportunity presents itself. He is not particularly unpleasant if approached and can be easily befriended. Its just that he simply can't get enough of the "Juice of Life", as he calls it. Forsht's troubles come in the form of frightened and angry villagers who have proclaimed the misunderstood dwarf a vampire. Since Forsht is amused by this, he does little to dissuade anyone. This will lead to some dicey situations for Forsht in the near future.
