The one-time asteroid – now "protoplanet" – Vesta is living up to its billing as a planet wannabe with a case of arrested development.
Data from NASA's DAWN mission to Vesta, and later to another protoplanet, Ceres, have essentially confirmed the broad outlines of Vesta's history and structure, initially inferred from meteorites thought to be chips off the old protoplanet.
But the details are providing surprises – from the unexpectedly young age of its largest impact basin to the height of the mountain that sits at the center of the basin. Measurements by the orbiter DAWN mark it as the second highest mountain, base to peak, in the solar system after Mars' Olympus Mons volcano.
"Vesta's history seems to be more similar to the rocky, terrestrial planets than to its larger sibling, the dwarf planet Ceres," said Carol Raymond, DAWN's deputy lead scientists and a co-author of one of six research papers detailing the results in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
Formed within the first 2 million years after the sun's disk of dust and gas began to form solid clumps, Vesta is "a key witness to the events at the very beginning of the solar system," she said at a NASA briefing Thursday. "We believe Vesta is the only intact member of a family of similar bodies that have since perished."
The others were broken up in collisions that helped formed the asteroid belt, a broad expanse of space rubble that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta and Ceres both orbit the sun among these "main belt" asteroids.
Astronomers have matched telescopic data on Vesta's mineral composition to that of a class of chemically similar meteorites known by its initials HED and a group of asteroids known as Vestoids. DAWN's close-in analysis confirms the Vesta-HED meteorite link, notes Harry McSween, a researcher at the University of Tennessee who heads the mission's surface-composition working group.
Detailed gravity measurments show Vesta as a layered body with an iron core, a mantle made of silicate rocks, and a crust largely consisting of volcanic rock known as basalts – essentially the same structure as the four inner planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars – as well as the moon. The iron core is about 140 miles across and accounts for about 18 percent of Vesta's mass.
These measurements confirm modeling estimates for Vesta based on analyses of the HED meteorites. This means scientists can be more confident about the inferences they make on conditions in the early solar system based on the meteorite studies, Dr. Raymond says.
Although Vesta has emerged intact from the relentless collisions that formed the asteroid belt, it still bears the geological scars from collisions. Indeed, Vesta is serving as a record book detailing the collision history within the solar system, says David O'Brien, a researcher at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Ariz., and another member of the DAWN team.
Researchers have built a catalog of some 2,000 craters wider than 2-1/2 miles, including seven large impact basins – hard to spot because the surface has been so worked-over by lesser, but more recent impactors.
Detailed maps built from DAWN's data show two enormous impact basins – Rheasilvia and Venenian – scarring a large swath of Vesta's southern hemisphere. Rheasilvia's basin measures about 300 miles across, with the Venenian basin spanning some 200 miles. All on a protoplanet only about 325 miles in diameter. By counting craters within the basins, researchers estimate that Rheasilvia is only about 1 billion years old. Venenian, which partially underlies Rheasilvia, is at least 2 billion years old, Dr. O'Brien says.
"The relatively young ages for these basins stand in stark contrast to what we find on the moon," he says. All of the impact basins there are at least 3.5 billion years old. This indicates that the collision environment each inhabits "is surprisingly different." The story the difference tells is complicated, he says, one "we're only beginning to unravel."
Sitting in the middle of the Rheasilvia Basin is a central mound that rises roughly 16 miles above the basin floor. Measurements of the mountain show it take up one-third of the crater's diameter.
"At first this was very surprising," O'Brien says. Large craters on the moon or on other bodies don't look like Rheasilvia. But craters on moons in the outer solar system can have similar structures. In essence, he says, such craters form when the size of the crater is almost as large as the body it sculpts. He estimates that the impact excavated enough material to fill the Grand Canyon 1,000 times over – or roughly 250,000 cubic miles of debris.
Much of that fell back to repave Vesta's southern hemisphere, where no crater beyond Venenian's is older than 1 billion years.
That leaves Vesta's northern hemisphere as the repository for information on its geological history reaching farther back in time. In late April, DAWN scientists received approval from NASA to remain at Vesta for an extra 40 days before heading for a rendezvous with Ceres in February 2015. Up to now, sunlight has illuminated the southern half of Vesta. With the extension, the sun will increasingly shine on the northern hemisphere, giving the team a chance to extend their data to the once-dark side of the protoplanet.

Racer Gaming ChairView item on manufacturer's website
Showing only Excellent reviews
The answer to that is Yes! An ordinary chair does not have the right padding, elevation, and comfort that a gaming chair can offer. Gamers who spend most of their days on ordinary chairs usually experience back pains and other physical discomfort.
So, why endure all that when you can play comfortably on a gaming chair?
Choosing the right kind of gaming chair would vary depending on the type of games you play. There are different kinds of gaming chairs you could choose from. These include:
1. Racer Gaming Chair
If you are the type of gamer who is into racing, then you should look into a gaming racing chair. A racer gaming chair offers features almost similar to that of a real car. It includes a steering wheel, a shift knob, and pedals. Other racing gaming are designed to look just like a real race car chair.
Another advantageous feature of a racer gaming chair is that its parts are adjustable and could fit to your preferred distance. A racer gaming chair is the ideal chair to achieve that authentic racing experience.
2. PC Gaming Chair
This kind of gaming chair is not very different from an office chair. It has a headrest, back padding, and arm rest. If you are not into any specific type of games, then this chair is ideal. This type of chair ensures the best comfort for long hours of gaming. You can even bend back for almost 180 degrees without tilting over.
3. Rocker Gaming Chair (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZAn1sAEZbo)
This gaming chair is L-shaped with its own headrest, back padding, and arm rest. One feature that makes this chair unique is that it does not have wheels or a pedestal.
It is simply laid on the floor, making you sit comfortably as you play Additional features also include a built-in speaker, a subwoofer, stereo inputs and other advanced gaming features.
This is considered to be the most comfortable gaming chair since you could just lay back and relax while you play your game.
4. Pedestal Gaming Chair
This gaming chair is similar to the rocker gaming chair except that it has a pedestal underneath it. This is for gamers who are more comfortable playing on an elevated disposition. This can be ideal for gamers who would like to move a lot while playing.
Deciding on the type of gaming chair you want is just one thing. What is really crucial in choosing the ideal gaming chair is its features. If it is your first time to buy your own gaming chair, you should know that there are a lot of features you should consider. The features you ought to consider are as follows:
Gaming chairs could be made up of polyurethane, cloth, leather, vinyl and others. You need to check if the materials used in the covers and paddings of the gaming chair are in the highest quality. Ask the manufacturer or the seller about the materials used for its covers, pads, and even its pedestal.
You have to keep in mind that the greater its quality, the longer you get to keep it. Considering how much comfort a gaming chair gives you should be a top priority when choosing your own gaming chair.
For a more comfortable chair, you ought to choose those with excellent padding systems to cushion you during those long hours of playing. With a good and comfortable chair, you could achieve maximum gaming experience.
You would not want to spend good money for a gaming chair that would just give you back pains in the long run.
This is something to look into if you are into chairs with wireless connectivity. You should never forget to check if the gaming chair is compatible with the gaming device you are using. A good gaming chair usually works well with PC, Mac, XBox, Playstation and other gaming systems.
If you are into authentic gaming experience, then you should look for vibration features. It gives better effects and stimulation to gamers if the vibration feature is included.
External accessories
This feature would depend on the kind of gamer you are. If you are the type of gamer who moves a lot, you could choose a gaming chair without arm rests. If you happen to be a gamer who enjoys gaming accessories but wants to keep it neat, then you could choose gaming chairs with pockets attached to them.
Space consumption
You ought to choose a gaming chair suitable to your living space. This means that you do not choose a gaming chair too big for your place. However,if your place is just too small for any of the usual gaming chairs, you could choose a foldable type to maximize the space left in your place.
Before you get to do any buying, you must plan your budget. If you are looking for more advanced features, then you could prepare a bigger budget for a gaming chair. If you are a bit short in cash but would need a gaming chair badly, then you could always adjust your standards of a gaming chair and buy one with simple features.
You need to make sure you get the quality you are paying for. If not, it would be a waste of money on your part.
Buying your very own gaming chair is an investment. Thus, it is very important not to miss out any of the features mentioned above. Checking for your preferred features is never a waste of time since it helps you choose a gaming chair that would give you maximum gaming experience. Otherwise, you would regret not doing so.
Remember that it is only you who get to deal with the consequences of your choice of a gaming chair. So, better choose wisely.

U.S. Export Position Improves as National Export Initiative Marks One Year
Improved coordination among federal agencies, aggressive outreach and assistance to potential exporters, and an ambitious program of trade promotion to expanding overseas markets are bringing concrete results as the National Export Initiative marks its first anniversary.
Answering the Call to Double U.S. Exports
In 2011, the Trade Information Center expects to receive 35,000 or more phone calls and e-mails from exporters looking for counseling and assistance. It could get many more, given the Obama administration's goal of doubling U.S. exports over the next half decade through the National Export Initiative.
In Chile, a Sense of National Unity
and Opportunities for U.S. Businesses
Despite suffering a serious earthquake in 2010, the Chilean economy has rallied and offers opportunities to U.S. exporters in many sectors. In addition to being one of the most stable and transparent democracies in Latin America, Chile is an ideal market for U.S. companies looking to grow overseas.

Kaiserslautern [4] is in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Nicknamed "K-Town", Kaiserlautern was home to many military personnel during the Cold War, and several American Military Installions, including Ramstein Air Base, are still in operation nearby.
In the middle ages, the town was chosen by Emperor Friedrich I (Barbarossa) as a seat of government.
Kaiserslautern was the smallest of the twelve host cities for the 2006 World Cup.
Touristically, this town has not much to offer but some nice restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Get in
By plane
While the biggest military airport in Europe is Ramstein, just outside Kaiserslautern, the city doesn't have any commercial airports of its own.
By train
Regional trains travel to Kaiserlautern from Saarbrücken (55 min, €12.20). An S-Bahn line connects Kaiserslautern with Neustadt(Weinstr) (30 min), Mannheim (1 hour) and Heidelberg (1¼ hour). An ICE from Frankfurt takes 1½ hours and costs €36. There are also several ICE and TGV trains each day from Paris East Station (2½ hours, €87).
By car
Kaiserslautern is located on the A6 Federal Motorway. The city is 65km away from Mannheim, 70km away from Saarbrücken and 120km away from Frankfurt (on A63). Hitchhikers can also look for cars online [11].
By bus
A private bus line Luxembourg - Trier - Kaiserslautern - Mainz - Frankfurt Airport - Frankfurt am Main is run by DeLux Express [12] and runs every 2 to 3 hours. It is the easiest way to get in from Frankfurt Airport, taking 1½ hours and costing €20.
From Frankfurt airport, military travelers can take a shuttle bus to various posts around Kaiserslautern, Ramstein, and Landstuhl. Most shuttle services will cost you around €45 one way. At the airport, go to the U.S.O. office and ask them to arrange for a shuttle, you'll need to have your ID ready.

North Korea has restarted its plutonium reactor in Yongbyon and is producing nuclear energy at the site, South Korea's intelligence agency reported Tuesday.
The report to Seoul lawmakers by a National Intelligence Service official confirmed warnings last month by nuclear watchdogs at the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, where examination of fresh satellite imagery showed hot water being funneled from the 5-megawatt reactor to a nearby river.
Rep. Cho Won-jin gave South Korea's Yonhap news agency details of the closed-door briefing to lawmakers.
The North had idled the graphite-moderated reactor at Yongbyon in 2007 under an agreement it reached in talks with five major nations to get food aid for standing down on its pursuit of nuclear weapons capabilities.
The reactor's cooling tower was dismantled in 2008 as a show of good faith, but North Korean negotiators walked out of the talks later that year and resumed testing and preparations for arming intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
"The reactor is currently being operated to increase the North's nuclear capacity," South Korean national security chief Nam Jae-joon said, according to the Korea Times. Nam also told the National Assembly Intelligence Committee that the North has begun testing engines for long-range missiles, the online newspaper reported.
Scientists at 38 North, a website operated by the U.S.-Korea Institute, had said last month that satellite imagery from Sept. 19 showed "hot waste water being released into the Kuryong River from a recently installed drainpipe, part of a new secondary cooling system completed in summer 2013." The website said the heated outflow from the reactor, about 55 miles north of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, wasn't seen in images captured in July, suggesting the reactor restart had occurred since then.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed in May to resume his isolated nation's quest for a nuclear arsenal after a sharp increase in acrimony between the two Koreas in the wake of intensified U.N. sanctions. Pyongyang carried out a prohibited missile test in December, the third in four years, and followed in February with the testing of an underground nuclear bomb.
Stepped-up sanctions set off a wave of threats and accusations from the North, with Kim's government vowing to deter any U.S. or South Korean aggression with a nuclear strike.
Tension again flared with this week's scheduled U.S.-South Korea war games, which took the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier George Washington and other warships from their base in Yokosuka, Japan, to the waters off the Korean peninsula.
North Korea last month unilaterally postponed a reunion of families separated since the 1950-53 Korean War, citing perceived hostile actions by Washington and Seoul.
Disarmament talks involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan began in 2003 but have been stalled for five years by Pyongyang's repeated violations of international nuclear nonproliferation agreements.

By Steve Arnold
When I look busy I communicate that I don't have time for a person. When I look busy I put up walls and barriers rather than communicate a sense of welcome.I recently saw a sign that said, "People who are always in a hurry work out of a sense of oppression rather than a sense of call." This is a strong statement, and as I ponder the statement I believe it to be true.
I have been in diaconal ministry for 42 years, and for 25 of those years I was tasked with preparing women and men to serve Lutheran congregations in diaconal roles. Over the years I have been very busy, and for way too many years I reveled in that. I was one of those church workers that seemed to get a high when people commented about how hard I was working. There was no one to confront me, and when our professional groups would meet I, too, would engage in the "I can't believe how busy I am" conversation.
I have only one response: "I repent!"
I have come to realize that hospitality is at the heart of ministry. In order to proclaim, one must be able to connect in ways that make people feel welcomed. To be rushing around busy, busy, busy shuts down ministry.
I currently serve as a chaplain to 300+ residents of a facility that includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, transitional care and long-term care. Bottom line: I am busy.
However, my new plan is to never look busy. If I look busy people don't feel free to engage with me. When I look busy I communicate that I don't have time for a person. When I look busy I put up walls and barriers rather than communicate a sense of welcome.
On occasion I now serve as clinical coordinator for chaplains in training through Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). These interns work with me 16 hours per week. The first few days I spend a great deal of time with them and one of the first things I have them practice is how not to look busy. We practice walking slowly through the facility and we engage in focused conversation with each other and with residents. My continual statement to them is, "walk slowly and never look busy."
This principle of "walk slowly and never look busy" is a key part of learning hospitality. Regardless of where one serves in ministry it is important to be fully present to the moment. In order to be hospitable one needs to learn how to slow it down.
Prayer and breathing are a central part of slowing down, but first one must see the need for slowing down and then want to slow down. God grants a pace that works.

What is dengue fever?
Gubler: Dengue [pronounced DEN-ghee] fever is a flu-like illness without the upper respiratory symptoms. It is caused by a virus that is transmitted by common mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are all over the world but several things are needed to contract the disease: susceptible human beings, competent mosquito vectors (carriers), and a particular virus transmitted by the mosquito.
The Aedes aegypti mosquito can spread the dengue fever. Source: CDC, James Gathany.
Dengue fever is caused by four distinct viruses; but, they are very closely related to each other. The illness is the same; the mosquito vector is the same; and the host is the same. A person living in a tropical area where there are disease-carrying mosquitoes can have four separate types of infections in his or her lifetime.
We usually hear about the disease in the tropics because that is where it thrives. But dengue arrived in the United States some 300 years ago. Fortunately, we eliminated dengue along with malaria and yellow fever more than 50 years ago. We eliminated it, not by eliminating the mosquitoes, they're still here, but by improving our living standards, with better housing, hot water systems, medical care, mosquito control—essentially good public health. In recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in dengue fever worldwide. America is vulnerable since the more dengue occurs in tropical, tourist, and business destinations, the more likely it will be imported into the USA.
We have two mosquitoes in the USA that can transmit dengue. The mosquito that is a very efficient epidemic vector, Aedes aegypti, is mostly localized in south Texas, south Florida and some areas in Arizona. Interestingly in the desert, by turning places like Tucson into tropical oases, we made a good home for the mosquitoes.
Is Dengue fever a serious health concern?
Gubler: In terms of health, it is serious because it causes an acute prostration febrile illness, in other words, a fever illness that causes people to be laid up for probably a good week to six weeks, depending on the individual and the particular infection. There are no permanent, lasting effects associated with it. A small percentage of patients develop a severe form of the disease. Some patients will have a viral encephalitis-like illness (affecting the brain) or internal bleeding. The severe form spans a spectrum of conditions.
Dengue fever can have a tremendous economic impact on populations when it causes a major epidemic affecting thousands of cases. When that happens, essentially the community and the medical system shut down. It puts a big overload on the hospitals and clinics.
All in all, dengue fever is a very important disease. From the economic impact standpoint, its impact can be measured by what we call "disability adjusted life years." The impact is of the same order of magnitude as many of the important infectious diseases we hear about on a daily basis.
What are the major drivers for this disease?
Gubler: The major driver is urbanization. As the cities of the tropical developing world have grown, the mosquito vector that has been there for many years has expanded. All of a sudden, you have large human populations living in intimate contact with the mosquito populations. If the virus is not already there, it could be introduced. But, the disease is there in most of these cities so you have constant transmission, which increases the possibility of genetic change in the virus, which then increases the probability of an epidemic strain emerging.
If the major driver is urbanization, it becomes more acute when there is a lack of effective mosquito control. Combine that with modern transportation and you have a formula for potential disaster. Up until the 1960s most of travel was by boat. It took us weeks to get across the ocean. Beginning in the 1960s, but accelerating in the 1970s and 1980s, people began to travel mostly by airplane. In the 1980s and 1990s, we began to move most of our commodities by plane. Modern transportation has become a new major driver that helps spread the virus to urban centers around the world.
Is dengue fever confined to the tropical regions?
Gubler: Yes, it is mostly confined to tropical regions. Sub-tropical regions, like Texas and Florida, can be susceptible. Here in the United States, we are lucky, for several reasons. First, we eliminated the diseases in the 1950s and 1960s through improved living standards—by better public health.
Furthermore, our population density is not that great in those areas of the USA where there are mosquitoes. So you have the combination of better public health, lower mosquito populations, and lower human populations, which results lesser risk of human-mosquito contact. Even though we have many viruses imported into the USA from tropical areas, the amount of local transmission is very limited and sporadic.
Does the virus mutate quickly or has it remained the same over time?
Gubler: Luckily, dengue does not mutate as fast as the avian influenza, but it does mutate. As we have learned more about the viruses in the last 10-15 years, we've been able to use new technologies to study the genetic changes that occur in the viruses. We are finding genetic changes, or mutations, as you call them, which influence the epidemic potential of these viruses. So, it does not change as fast as flu, but it does change. It is not a static or monolithic organism, and we do see that there is genetic change that influences epidemic transmission.
As tropical cities grow and human populations get larger, and we have all four serotypes (groups) co-circulating in those cities, transmission increases. This increases the possibility of genetic change in the virus, which then increases the probability of a new strain being selected that has greater fitness and greater epidemic potential.
Does dengue fever have the potential to adapt to colder climates?
Gubler: Probably not. We have had major epidemics of yellow fever and dengue in the USA, as far north as Philadelphia and Boston. The reason this happened is that during the summer months it was warm enough to transmit tropical diseases. If you have diseases introduced into an area where the mosquito occurs, you can have transmission.
In the old days, the mosquito was found in the Gulf Coast states, but every summer it would migrate up the rivers or the coast in boats and re-infest port cities on the rivers or the ocean. Every summer, there would be populations of mosquitoes breeding in these cities. That could happen today, but our northern cities now do not have the conditions that allow mosquitoes to breed.
Mosquitoes breed primarily in stored water containers. In the old days, we did not have piped-water systems. We stored water, which was ideal for the mosquitoes. Today, not only do we have piped-water systems, we also have good sewer systems. There are very few places for the mosquito to breed. Even if they are introduced to new places, they do not become established.
Have there been pandemics of dengue fever?
Gubler: Well, a pandemic is defined as a global epidemic. We are in the middle of one right now. It began in the 1950s, and it has been getting progressively worse for 50 years. I do not know how much worse it is going to get, but I think most of the whole tropical world has been infected. Most of the four serotypes occur in all the urban tropical cities. I do not expect to see epidemics in the USA because the one vector that we have here that has widespread distribution is a very inefficient epidemic vector. It can transmit but sporadically.
The current pandemic is pretty bad because it is all over the tropical world. There have been pandemics of this disease in the past, as well. In the 1800s, these diseases would move from region to region in sailing boats; they would actually breed in the stored water on the boats, and that is how the mosquito was introduced into new areas. The mosquitoes they were transporting were being transmitted among the ship's crew and when they went on shore, they introduced the virus to the mosquito population that lived there.
Those pandemics were not nearly as bad as the current one, and the reason is that the cities today are much larger. We have a much larger population. We have jet airplanes as opposed to boats. So, the pandemics we experience now are far worse than anything we have experienced in the past.
These same factors will influence pandemic influenza if it occurs in the future. You have something like two billion people a year getting on airplanes and flying somewhere, so you have the mechanisms not only for dengue, but also for other diseases like influenza to spread rapidly.
Is there a vaccine or other preventative measures for dengue?
Gubler: There is no vaccine. There is no drug. There is a lot of progress in both areas, and I am going to come back to that. There are very effective methods of controlling and preventing the disease, and that is simply by controlling the mosquito. The mosquito is a highly domesticated insect that lives in intimate association with humans. It prefers to live in a house; it prefers to breed in a house; it prefers to rest in the house. So, if you eliminate stored-water containers in the environment, you can greatly reduce the population of mosquitoes, and therefore greatly reduce the probability of transmission. That is what we have not done adequately in most parts of the tropical world. Many places do not do good mosquito control, mainly because it is too hard. The Gates Foundation has funded a program called The Pediatric Dengue Vaccine Initiative, which focuses on helping companies that are developing a dengue vaccine and eventually distributing it to at-risk populations. That program has great potential.
We have a whole generation of people in the world today that have been raised since the 1960s to believe that basically, they do not have a major role to play in their health destinies. There are drugs; there are vaccines. We do not even teach hygiene in our schools anymore. One of the most effective ways of preventing diseases like influenza is washing your hands. It is too easy now. You get sick, you go to the doctor; you get a drug; you get an antibiotic. In the tropics, you get an injection. You get better, so there is no responsibility by people.
We live in a crisis-oriented society—we do not do anything until there is a crisis. We wait for the epidemic to occur, and then we try to respond to it. People could very easily help public health officials with this disease if they would control disease in their own domestic environment. But, many will not do it; they believe it is the government's responsibility to do that.
Researchers started working on a vaccine 30 years ago, in the late 1970s. It is a very complex problem because there are four viruses. You have to immunize against all four simultaneously, and that is what makes it so difficult. They have made very good progress, though. We have probably at least five good vaccine candidates in the pipeline. In the next couple of years, there will probably be several of them that will undergo efficacy trials in the human population. And, the best guess is that probably in five to seven years, we may have a vaccine. But, we have been saying that for 30 years, so …
The other area where there is a lot of progress is an antiviral drug that will inhibit virus replication in the human body. The Novartis Institute of Tropical Diseases has focused exclusively on dengue and tuberculosis in developing an antiviral drug. They have a good candidate that is probably going into clinical trials next year and it looks very promising.

State and federal biologists today released back into the wild 13 laughing gulls and two royal terns and one sandwich tern rehabilitated after rescue from oil impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge (SWR) in Grand Chenier, LA, was selected by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as the release site because it has not been impacted by oil and it contains natural habitat for these species.
"This refuge and nearby natural areas provide these birds the best chance of survival and success," said Robert Barham, LDWF secretary. "We hope to release more rehabilitated birds in state in coming weeks."
The birds released today were treated at the Bird Rehabilitation Center in Hammond. To date, over 550 birds have been treated and released in this massive wildlife rescue and recovery effort. Two other birds not injured from the spill, but rehabilitated at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, were released at Rockefeller SWR as well.
Rockefeller SWR, located in eastern Cameron and western Vermilion Parishes, is managed by LDWF's Coastal and Non-game Resources Division.
The 76,000-acre refuge area borders the Gulf of Mexico for 26.5 miles and extends inland toward the Grand Chenier ridge, six miles from the Gulf.

Stanley won't make this weekend's camp
OL Donnell Stanley of Latta will not be among the prospects in attendance this weekend for USC's first camp of the summer, but he hopes to attend the Gamecocks' Showcase Camp in July according to Viking assistant coach Chris German who is serving as Stanley's adviser during the recruiting process.
Stanley just started with a personal trainer and has a workout scheduled the day of the camp. Latta RB RJ McClam, who has an offer from Charleston Southern and is getting interest from Coastal Carolina Campbell, will attend the camp.
Stanley visited Clemson's camp earlier this month but did not work out. Stanley will go to a half-day camp at Alabama July 14th and will go from there to Ole Miss. He will then go to LSU July 17th.
"After he visits all the schools, he's going to narrow it down to four and focus on those four," German said. "He's trying to aim before the season (for a decision) but he said he doesn't want to rush." German said Stanley is not claiming a favorite.
Stanley talked to USC recruiter Shawn Elliott last week and has also been in touch with Clemson. Stanley has also been seriously considering Ohio State, Florida, Florida State and North Carolina.

Bookworm teens in Montclair, N.J., rejoice! There is a place for you. Watchung Booksellers, a local bookstore, is setting up a teen advisory council, reports booksellers industry newsletter Shelf-Awareness.com. Beginning on Feb. 1, the teens will meet every other month to read, discuss, and review advance copies of books under the eye of store employee Liane Freed.
The goal is to get teens reading and thinking about "what sorts of books they like to read, when they've got the time," Freed told Shelfawareness. Their reviews will be posted online at Watchung's website. The store hopes that teens' commentary on their favorite titles will offer reading recommendations for other young readers and gift ideas for adults.
Publishers have already offered to send advanced reading copies and Freed has reached out to local high school teachers to find participants. The council is expected to begin with eight members although others may join as they go along.
Freed acknowledges that, between the search for college, homework, and extra-curricular activities, it's hard for some high schoolers to find time for reading, but she told Shelfawareness that she hopes the advisory board will be "only a small burden." She also says that she would like to see the young readers take charge to some degree. "Hopefully they can rally to bring in an author or plan a trip to a publisher."
In an era when many worry that young readers are distracted by TV and the Internet, the notion of an active community of teen readers in a neighborhood bookstore is an appealing one.
According to Freed, the council could also be "a place for teens who are readers, but not necessarily involved in other activities and clubs." If the end goal is more teen readers, then a lively new community of them is an elegant solution.

He was hungry and was chowing down! I thought I'd lose a finger if I got too close. That guys is an animal!
Planning is going well for the Trilogy. Looking forward to it.
Congrats on a great run and shared win at Terrapin. Not bad for just a "training run". Looking forward to PL.
I miss you guys! I'm thinking of signing up for the Trilogy-the whole thing, of course!!ReplyDelete
It has been way too long! Awesome that you're thinking of doing the Trilogy. . . I would expect nothing less of you than to do the whole shebang. Get back over here in the mountains of WV real soon.

Two more flu deaths confirmed in Boston, including first child of this season
Two more people have died in Boston after contracting the flu — including for the first time this season, a child — bringing the total to six. Five of the deaths have been in adults over age 65, and one was a child under six years old, Barbara Ferrer, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, said Friday evening.
"The child definitely had flu, but we're not sure if there weren't other complications that contributed to the death,'' Ferrer said.
She did not provide any more information about the deaths. During the 2011-2012 flu season, which was mild, there was just one death in the city.
In Massachusetts and across the country public health officials have been sounding warnings that the flu season arrived early and fierce, clogging emergency departments and causing a rush on vaccines.
Earlier this week, state officials were reporting 18 flu deaths in Massachusetts, none of which were children.
There was some indication Friday that the season may have peaked, with the percent of doctor visits for flu-like illness dropping some, according to figures from the state health department.
As of Friday night in Boston, however, Ferrer said, "we don't see any signs of a let-up, which is really why we're pushing vaccinations so hard.''
Unless the infections slow, Ferrer said the city is on track for a "severe'' flu season. "Right now,'' she said, "it looks alarming.''
The city is distributing free flu vaccine at community health centers this weekend.
While the flu is unpleasant, for most people it can be treated at home. Young children, the elderly, women who are pregnant, and people with respiratory or other medical conditions may be at greater risk.

Regardless of where you're at in your business, there are opportunities to improve. These opportunities fall within 3 phases:
Build on an Effective Platform
It's important to have an effective platform to grow your business. This means having a website that can clearly communicate your value to prospects and convert visitors into leads for your business. If your platform is broken, getting more exposure to prospects actually hurts your business.
Systematically Get More Prospects
Once you have a strong platform in place, you need to get exposure to more prospects you can help. Most businesses rely on referrals or other organic sources of leads they aren't in direct control of. To get to the next level, you need to have a multiple systematic processes for generating leads.
Manage Profits as You Grow
Once you are getting exposure to more prospects and growing the business, it's important to manage growth carefully. If you do not manage your systems carefully and adjust as the business grows, the growth will work against your business and eventually cause the business to "break".
We have experience helping businesses at all stages, but most businesses that are honest in their self-assessment realize they are lacking in the "Platform" or "Prospects" phase.
While it's possible to have some success without perfecting each phase, it's not possible to significantly grow the business until these issues are addressed.
Effective Websites
We can help you create a new website or configure your existing website to be more effective at generating leads and revenue for your business.
Exposure to Prospects
We can help you build systematic ways to get more exposure to prospects, including SEO / Google rankings, online advertising campaigns, and more.
Managing Growth
We can also help you ensure your systems stay strong as the business grows, as we have experience owning and operating a range of businesses.

WP 3.1.1 Patch Instructions And Download, Will Upgrade WordPress Version 3.1 To WordPress 3.1.1
Upgrading WordPress is typically fairly easy but you have to either upload every single file from the download or you have to weed what has been modified and what has not. Typically a list of modified files is provided by WordPress which makes it easy to follow along and upgrade your WP version however it is a pain to upload every single file in the release. The below article has two main objectives which first is to provide you an easy to read summary of enhancements, resolved bugs, and new features and second will be to provide you a zip file with only the modified files in the WordPress upgrade. We will do our best to provide such an article for all future WP releases within a couple days of the public release.

Explore the globe this summer with five great journeys from AAA Travel.
Savoring France
This 10-day tour begins in romantic Paris, where you might enjoy a sunset walk on the Pont des Arts, macarons at the classic pâtisserie Ladurée, and intoxicating art at the Musée d'Orsay (in a renovated train station). About two hours east is one of the world's most historic wine destinations, Champagne, its hills blanketed with vineyards that yield more than 300 million bottles each year. On your way to Alsace, soak in the views of the imposing Vosges Mountains.
Timeless Peru
Launch your 10-day journey in cosmopolitan Lima, where pre-Columbian art and 16th-century catacombs meet the Costa Verde boardwalk and 21st-century molecular gastronomy. Then head to the lush valley surrounding Cuzco, home to the Inca and refuge for such endangered wildlife as condors. Travel by train to Machu Picchu, more than 7,000 feet above sea level, to explore the vast ruins of what was once a self-sufficient city, and to consider early astronomy at the sacred Intihuatana stone, designed to predict the dates of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.
American Gems
It could be said that Philadelphia is where the story of the United States began. The Liberty Bell hangs here as a symbol of freedom, and the Constitution was drafted in its Independence Hall. On this eight-day tour, start in the Pennsylvania city, then mosey south to the Victorian coastal resort of Cape May, N.J. A highlight: Pennsylvania's Brandywine River Museum holds the world's largest collection of paintings by the Wyeth family, including grandfather N.C., son Andrew, and grandson Jamie. Return to a more urban scene in Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D.C.
Down Under
On this 17-day tour of both Australia and New Zealand, explore the ecologically unique Daintree rainforest and listen to Aboriginal myths. Then head to the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel with dolphins and sea turtles. Trade your wet suit for hiking boots at Uluru/Ayers Rock, with its 178 species of birds. Chill out in the Australian capital of winemaking, the Barossa Valley, and swing through Sydney for a private tour of the opera house and its organ with more than 10,000 pipes. Later, New Zealand's North Island reveals Maori life among Rotorua's Te Arawa people.
Best of Hawaii
Once the sugar-growing hub of the Big Island, Hilo is now home to the world-class Imiloa Astronomy Center and Wailuku River State Park, with dramatic waterfalls not far from a burgeoning downtown. The town is your first stop on a 14-day Princess cruise to three more Hawaiian jewels. In the state capital, Oahu's Honolulu, see the Chinatown Arts District, Diamond Head volcanic crater, and Pearl Harbor. On Maui, the city of Lahaina is beloved for its aquarium, whale-watching, and art scene. The lush island of Kauai feels like Maui's laid-back cousin. From the port at Nawiliwili, hit the Hule'ia National Wildlife Refuge, a preserve for endangered birds.

No it's not tongue in cheek entirely; Carolyn and David both live in Canada. David is an ex-pat Scot and Carolyn's husband has Scottish roots. They don't find them in Canada. Carolyn collects Scottish kitsch (most of which was/is never made in Scotland).
I see these around too.I'm also sure I've got a load of Scottish kitsch. Just for a start, I have a (Wiltshaw & Robinson, pre-1927) Carltonware cauldron in blush ware, with enamelled lucky White Heather from Montrose on it.I can't currently reach a load of tot glasses, which might include Scottish themes.Have any collectors of Scottish kitsch got one of the Ysart collapsed whisky bottle ashtrays?
:huh:I know i am dim...but???... :ho:

About Auditrix
Don't have time to reply to all of your comments, but just saw David Israelite speak today and he made some really cogent points about the intent of the rates. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but one takeaway for me was that record labels can license their content at market rates but publishers are limited to maximum mechanical rates set by the CRB (and since PROs are subject to consent decrees, the result is that they are not collecting much or anything from many music services). What this means is that record labels are able to collect 8 or 9 times as much as publishers, in many cases (even though in a free market it would likely be closer to 50%/50%). One good thing about the flexible rates for new services is to provide that if the record companies do well and negotiate higher rates, the publishers get more as well, and either way, the publisher's share is a bit better than for physical products and permanent downloads (i.e., for the new services the record companies may collect only 4-6 times as much as publishers instead of 8 or 9 times as much as publishers).
I think you might be a little overly conspiratorialist regarding whether the NMPA is operating in the best interest of publishers collectively and especially with respect to the definitions of the various types of services, but I haven't had time to finalize my own analysis of the deal, so I will keep an open mind.
Wish I had more time to comment on your other points, but I have to get back to auditing royalties!
I am biased because our firm's audit report is the basis for this suit, but I am disappointed that other auditors failed to try to secure full YouTube compensation for their clients.
The labels pursued a similar strategy with record clubs when record clubs mattered, so this is nothing new.
Now that several litigators have approached me who are interested in exploring a class action against the labels re: YouTube, it is too late. (Most artists have lost their rights to object to 2006 accountings.)
However, the music companies do have equity interests in certain music services, so you may yet read about similar claims.
No, Mr. Townley,
That is not what I am suggesting at all.
btrussell - I have developed many audit techniques, which cannot be summarized in a short post.
I regret the error Mr. Ridder.
I regret the error Mr. Ridder.
This is why royalty auditors exist. And, BTW, it doesn't solely apply to the major labels (indies are often worse) or even the music industry. Pretty much any industry in which compensation is contingent on certain factors is an industry where you need to audit to get a fair share or something close to it.
It is true that cases like this are not always but often cases of unrecouped accounts. I have had hundreds of artists contact me under similar circumstances and I can't help most of them because they will never recoup. The cases where the accounts are recouped or will recoup and there is an active product with material sales are much less common, but those are the people who are due something worth pursuing.
Of course, when products earn more money, the companies are more willing to spend time to resolve these disputes. It just isn't worth it for them to invest the time to account to a payee that isn't earning the company any money, which is why a lot of contracts stipulate that no accounting is required if earnings do not reach a certain threshold. So, just because a record company doesn't account to an artist does not mean that there is a pot of gold at stake. It is more likely closer to $50, which is why it often does not make sense to pursue such matters by hiring an auditor and/or an attorney.
So, while I know better than anyone about the inaccuracies and failures of royalty accountings, I also think artists waste energy fretting about not receiving royalties for a product that is not selling. Right or wrong, these folks are better served by going out and making a better product.
However, if your product is selling well and you haven't received an accounting, it may make sense to shake the tree. One way auditors can help is simply to advise how much tree shaking may be worthwhile. Mr. Ridder could have hired an auditor to spend a couple hours to help figure that out, but I suppose he didn't want to spend the money.
Hi Karl,
I thought you would be interested in this information:
Artists may earn as much as writers (50%) in connection with synch license fees, so artists have a lot to lose as well as composers.
Also, most composers of works for hire continue to collect writer performance license royalties, and often other writer royalties or bonuses, even if they are paid an up-front flat fee. If there were "plenty of composers" willing to work without contingent compensation, there would be little demand from composers for my services. Also, up front fees would be higher.
Nina cited some numbers and it is unclear what they represent.
The data have not been presented.
According to an article by Catherine Saez that I re-tweeted (http://shar.es/0GGK4), in Spanish, SGAE is pronounced "esgae."
I think it has a compelling argument that "exgae" is confusing to many individuals in the music rights marketplace.
My references to "Sita" above should be replaced with "Ms. Paley." I regret the error.
The figures cited by Sita were unlabeled. Are they revenues or profit?
Most importantly, Sita didn't cite her costs. Unlike most film profit accountings, Sita's totaled one year. You can only determine project profitability with an inception-to-date accounting. Not to mention, if you included the prior period, there may be a lot more costs!
You're right, I had the G1 and it was the first phone with Android, and there were a few after that before the Nexus One. But the Nexus One was the first with Froyo, the modern Android operating system that is now being rolled out on other phones.
My beloved Nexus One is my favorite phone ever. The "engraving" I paid for turned out to be thermographic printing, not engraving, but that is my only complaint.
I guess if my phone didn't work and there was nobody to call for help maybe I wouldn't feel the same way, but the Nexus one is a spectacular device and I don't plan to opt into this suit.
I like your (self?) portrait, Modplan.
In the '90s, when I had a Diamond Rio (lol!), I was convinced that recorded music was on its way to becoming free through the celestial jukebox, and that the much older system of patrons supporting musicians would once again become conventional.
Maybe I don't need to go into this much detail, but I thought this because, as we duplicate and share files, the less valuable those files become, but what will increase in value is whatever remains that is scarce: The genuine experiences of being part of a live concert, meeting your rock idol (or whoever you are a fan of) and all the sex, drugs and other experiences that go along with it. For this, I thought people would be willing to pay a premium and we would continue to have a music industry, but one that was elitist because it would generate more revenues from private performances for rich people than from data files that would be freely supplied to the public.
However, the past 15 or 20 years have not unfolded quite as I predicted. I am still waiting for the celestial jukebox and, despite unprecedented consolidation of concert promoters and 360-deals in which labels have a greater interest in supporting artist tours, the live concert industry outlook has never looked worse in my life.
Further, when I hear of news items like this, I know it can't work. I know this because I know brilliant musicians and few brilliant musicians can be expected to do more than be brilliant and musical.
Sending brilliant artists on a path without a record label to support them results in almost zero chance of breaking through, and sending them to spend intimate time with their fans for 1 week, as in this case, is like asking them to become a prostitute as well as a musician.
Maybe there are a few brilliant musicians who can do it all, but I think we need to recognize the value of brilliant music and pay our brilliant musicians to make brilliant music and not pimp them out to the highest bidding Hawaiian vacationer.
My family member just visited Cuba and had no problems with internet access there. However, she was most likely not plumbing the depths of the Internet, so maybe it is worse than she reports.
Here is a Berklee College of Music prof's explanation of how iTunes downloads are different than sales. I have other reasons for arriving at tha same conclusion, but here are David Kusek's thoughts: http://www.futureofmusicbook.com/2010/09/are-itunes-downloads-actually-licenses-rather-than-sales/

In case you need a little cuteness to get you through your Monday, behold a baby owl finding out what it feels like to get petted. In the first frame, the owlet is clearly not sure about this. In the second, it appears to begin to object. But in the third and fourth frames the little owl seems overwhelmed with happiness. Or, as one reader on Imgur.com commented: OWL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

East Lovenia Climber's Log
Pfeiffer75 - Aug 23, 2012 2:56 pm Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2011Tough One
Climbed from west and then up north ridge. Had to travel on east and west side to negotiate cliff bands. We were going to climb over to Lovenia, but a Tstorm forced us to bail along the connecting ridge down a very loose, scree hill. There was an unopened can of Milwaukee's Best at the summit, but nothing else
Moogie737 - Sep 1, 2010 4:56 am Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2010Lovenia Loop route
Pretty much followed ZeeJay's description and made it in spite of the first dusting of snow delivered by Mother Nature during the night (and at our East Fork Blacks Fork CG)! With Dave, Brent and JP Lewis. Hundreds of sheep at the base of this mountain. Spectacular weather considering the snow during the night; we had a bluebird day, for the most part.
utclimber - Feb 22, 2010 12:24 amLong Day
Starting at East Fork TH in July 2004, I hiked up East Lovenia and then Lovenia in a day. These peaks were my 2nd and 3rd Utah 13ers (after Kings). It was a long day due to marshy trail, tough river crossings, and lots of uneven terrain.
ZeeJay - Aug 19, 2009 2:48 pm Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2009Interesting peak
My second to last Utah 13000 footer. Did this one and Lovenia in a day, starting at the East Fork Blacks Fork TH. Left the trail about 10800' and took off for the base of the peak. Climbed the NW face to the saddle west of the peak and then ascended the west ridge to the summit. The NW face looks steep, but it can't be that bad because I saw several domestic sheep quite high up.
Scott - Nov 20, 2008 11:01 pmEast Lovenia
I climbed via the NW face and came down Lovenia connecting ridge. This is almost certainly the hardest 13er in Utah, but not as hard as some of the 12ers. Loose scree is hardest part.
East Lovenia is a pretty seldom visited summit.

For their tenth studio album, The Cult have left the experimentalism and art rock of the Nineties and early 2000s behind and revived the soaring choruses and stadium-friendly riffs of their classic early albums.
They've teamed up again with producer Bob Rock, who was behind the controls on the band's biggest commercial success, Sonic Temple.
It's unlikely Hidden City will match that album's sales, that time has gone, but it reveals the 50-something rockers have not lost the swagger of old.
Opening tracks Dark Energy and No Love Lost set a blistering pace - the latter ushered in with a classic spectral refrain from guitarist Billy Duffy which sets minds back to early gems such as Rain and She Sells Sanctuary before an army of Duffys form a grunge chorus and singer Ian Astbury soars above it, still in fine voice.
The album does lose its way a little with ballads In Blood and Birds Of Paradise both striving for an epic sound but falling ponderously short.
However, things pick up with G O A T, Duffy's sinewy guitar writhing like a snake as the band rock out with a stripped back sound that recalls their classic 1987 album, Electric, and Deeply Ordered Chaos where the guitars attack like machine gun salvos.
The Cult is still a force to be reckoned with.

Seeming contradictions yield inspiring design: with its long wheelbase and short overhangs, the BMW 4 Series Coupé radiates self-assured authority. The set-back glasshouse underlines the distinctive coupé style. The flat roofline running dynamically to the rear and the presence of the vehicle demonstrate pure athleticism, long before the journey begins. You can experience the innovative character of the BMW 4 Series Coupé in the following film.
You need the Adobe Flash Player in order to use some of the features of the BMW UK website. Please make sure that Flash is installed and activated. If you have not yet installed Flash, you can download it free of charge from the Adobe website.
Light meets speed. With the latest technology of Adaptive LED Headlights, you'll never again be left in the dark. Thanks to their pure white light beam, they ensure optimum and homogenous illumination of the road similar to daylight. That makes for fatigue-free night-driving and light distribution that adapts automatically to your speed, and follows your steering angle so nothing escapes your glance when cornering.
A powerful statement from both behind and in front. With its sporty, agile width, the rear of the BMW 4 Series Coupé is an impressive sight. The broad stance and flat roof line lend the vehicle an athletic perfection.
