Casio Pro Trek Solar Watch
Casio is probably best known for their G-SHOCK line of watches. The rugged durable watch has been a staple to guys who are rough on their gear for a long time. So it is no surprise to see a higher end watch come out of the Casio camp that brings together the rugged watch style with a sporty look and an array of high tech features targeting the serious folks who either work or play in situations where they need to really rely on their gear to give them the information they need to make survival decisions. Whether that is military, municipal, scientific, or outdoor enthusiast/extremist the Casio Pro Trek is really a watch that is hard to beat.
The first thing that stood out to me is the soft silicone band. It is quite a large departure from the bands I'm used to seeing on say a G-SHOCK or other rugged watches. This silicone band feels almost like skin gripping your wrist. The comfort level is leagues better than the aforementioned bands. My immediate concern was that the material would rip… or wasn't as rugged. So we ran some tests on it, and it is absolutely as rugged as its predecessors. The Casio Pro Trek Solar Watch is a solar powered watch which is nice. There are no batteries, which means you aren't opening the watch to replace them, which means you aren't creating seal issues that could make your watch susceptible to water damage. It has a Multi-Band Atomic Timekeeping feature which automatically updates the time via radio wave. The radio waves are sent out by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), a government project that uses an Atomic clock to keep extremely accurate measurements of time. The broadcast is available free, and there are many locations across the country that broadcast the radio waves. These waves are received by Casio Pro Trek Solar Watch, if there is a difference between what it received and the time it is currently showing, the Casio Pro Trek Solar Watch will automatically correct itself.
The Casio Pro Trek Solar Watch also has things like a digital compass, barometer, altimeter, thermometer, etc.. etc.. it is like a Star Trek Tricorder on a wrist!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara captured both Big West swimming honors this week, sweeping the weekly awards to bring its season count to six honorees (two men, four women). Senior Naomi Javanifard was named Female Swimmer of the Week and sophomore Kevin Ferguson was named Male Swimmer of the Week it was announced by the conference Wednesday.
Ferguson, a native of Sacramento, Calif., was instrumental in the Gauchos' victory over No. 22 UNLV on Saturday. The sophomore finished first in the 100 backstroke with a time of 50.95 and took second in the 100 free (46.43). Ferguson also was on two first place relays, swimming a 23.45 backstroke split in the 200 medley relay and a 45.73 (unofficial) anchor split in the 400 free relay.
Javanifard, another native of Sacramento, helped lead the Gaucho women to their victory over the visiting Rebels. The senior took first place in the 100 back (56.58) during the final home meet of her collegiate career and also took second in the 50 free (23.63). She also helped the UCSB women to wins in the 200 medley relay - with a 26.19 backstroke split - and in the 400 free relay, with a 51.95 split.
The Gaucho men and women head north this week for a pair of Big West road meets. UCSB will swim at UC Davis on Friday and close out 2010 dual meet action at Pacific on Saturday.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Roddy White knows better than most how the Atlanta Falcons' expectations have changed.
White, a first-round pick in 2005, launched his NFL career when Atlanta had never managed back-to-back winning seasons. Only one Atlanta receiver, Andre Rison, had posted three straight 1,000-yard seasons.
It's a new era in Atlanta. The Falcons are working to extend a streak of five straight winning seasons. A major reason for the success is White, whose active streak of six straight 1,000-yard seasons has doubled Rison's previous team record.
Anything short of a repeat trip to the NFC championship game will be a disappointment. Anything less than 1,000 yards from White would be a letdown.
White said the bar has been raised from his first years in Atlanta.
"We've changed faces around here, we've taken off and haven't looked back," White said Sunday. "We've had a lot of success. We've won a lot of games and had a lot of great moments. We've set the expectations bar very high around here, and every year we've got to live up to it."
Former Falcons standout cornerback Deion Sanders, now an analyst for NFL Network, said White is "the standard" for Atlanta receivers.
"Roddy is one of the best in his generation," Sanders said while watching White in Monday's practice. "He consistently has good hands and runs good routes. He can go underneath across the middle. He's not scared to do any of that. He's a big guy."
Sanders said White has contributed to the success of Julio Jones, the team's emerging star at wide receiver. White has not missed a game in his eight seasons, and Sanders said that gives Jones an important example to follow.
"That right there is unbelievable," Sanders said of White's iron man streak of 128 games. "People don't realize that's one of the reasons Julio is so good. You get to watch this guy practice. You get to watch this guy show up for every game. You get to watch this guy put in the work. He's the standard."
White, 31, caught 92 passes for 1,351 yards and seven touchdowns in 2012 as the Falcons finished 13-3 in the regular season and advanced to the NFC championship game. He is only the fifth NFL player to post three consecutive seasons with 90-plus catches and 1,200-plus yards.
White is the Falcons all-time leader with 622 receptions and 8,725 yards receiving.
Following the retirement of center Todd McClure, White and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux, another 2005 draft pick, have the longest active tenures in Atlanta.
The Falcons had their second day in pads on Monday. The challenge for White and his teammates in training camp is to keep raising the bar.
White said he doesn't shy away from the raised expectations.
"No, not at all," he said. "We know we've got a good football team. We've got to go out there and execute and win a lot of games and try to set ourselves up like we did last year. We've got be excited, and everybody's got to play their part and play their role, and we've got to go out there and win."
The five straight winning seasons have all come with coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan.
Smith said having White on the field for every game has been a key to the team's success.
"It says a whole lot about him," Smith said Monday. "Roddy is one of the most competitive guys I've ever been around. When it's time to put the ball on the tee and kick it he's ready to go. He's got a great attitude. When he does have an injury or he has something that's tweaked, you can't keep him out. That's the kind of guys you want to have."
White is a four-time Pro Bowl selection – all in his five years catching passes from Ryan. The two have developed an on-field chemistry that already was obvious early in training camp.
Late in Monday's practice, White was running toward the sideline, his back to Ryan as the quarterback fired a pass in his direction. At the last possible second, White turned just in time to catch the pass in front of safety Shann Schillinger.
White flashed one of his trademark grins and chuckled as he ran back to the line.
NOTES: Smith had sharp words for safety William Moore after Moore failed to follow the strict rule against tackling to the ground. Smith says his first priority is to avoid injuries, and he made that point during and after practice. "We want to make sure everybody is aware of what our No. 1 objective is in training camp," Smith said. "We stress we don't want to have anybody on the ground after any play." ... Rookie cornerback Desmond Trufant earned applause from the fans with an interception. ... Jones also drew cheers when he made a two-handed grab at the goal line.

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference in time for this football season also meant the Aggies needed to adjust their schedule in a short amount of time.
A couple of the results of that shuffling were announced Wednesday. The Aggies will now open their season on Aug. 30, a Thursday, against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport, La. A&M no longer will play McNeese State on Sept. 1 at Kyle Field. A&M athletic director Bill Byrne wrote in his weekly online address that the Aggies will pay McNeese $200,000 for the buyout.
The Aggies under first-year coach Kevin Sumlin also will play South Carolina State on Sept. 22 at Kyle. A&M must still announce a nonconference opponent for Nov. 17 at Kyle. A&M's revamped schedule also means its 2012 home opener will serve as its SEC opener, when the Aggies play host to Florida on Sept. 8.
Louisiana Tech capped an 8-5 season with a 31-24 loss to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. The Aggies capped a 7-6 season with a 33-22 victory over Northwestern in the Meineke Bowl in Reliant Stadium.
Louisiana Tech will play at Kyle Field in 2016 as part of the new agreement, Byrne said.

I still think it's going to be newts.
ambassadorfromverdammt says
You mean Gingrich knows about fire?? :alarmed:
bbgunn says
Zippy's brother, Zippo?
johnkruger says
"Making fire" and "using a lighter" are kind of big distinctions. Once they start producing and selling lighters to each other we may have to start worrying, until then we just have to be careful about what we give away.
shouldbeworking says
Planet of the Apes may be closer than you think. All it takes now is for chimp to commit species treason and sell that technology to a gorilla and we're doomed.
Grimalkin says
Well that was both adorable and interesting.
Kind of makes me wonder what would happen if we were to find a way to introduce fire-making abilities into a society of bonobos that wouldn't just end in a bonobobonfire.
theophontes, Hexanitroisowurtzitanverwendendes_Bärtierchen says
Your wish is my command: Chimp with AK47.
Mr. Fire says
Oh God please don't let yet another fucking species start that 'let's wave our lighters at concerts' trend.
That's what I take take away from this.
roland says
Is she really lonely?
roland says
Or maybe I should say, Are THEY really lonely?
michaelstone-richard says
If a large black obelisk makes an appearance, then, yes sir, we have trouble. And that starts with a "t" and that rhymes with a "p" and that stands for "paleontology."
kreativekaos says
"Could be trouble: the other apes are learning how to make fire, and you know where that ended up with us."
Yep,… McDonalds and fast food!!! :)
Larry says
Looks like the apes have moved beyond the "keep banging two rocks together" stage and are ready to start thinking digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
The program is proceeding nicely.
Doug Little says
With the housing market down and a lot mortgages severely underwater this chimp's talents could be in high demand. No your honor I didn't start the fire, my chimp did.
leighshryock says
Top rated comment on that video is racist. I vote we vote bomb it down.
Sobex says
The video above is fairly short, so I understand why people think this bonobo is merely doing a few rehearsed tricks. His name is Kanzi and there are a set of videos about him you can find by googling Kanzi: An Ape of Genius. Four videos, about 52 minutes total, very worth watching.
quinnmartindale says
There seems to be a lot of unjustified anthropomorphism in that video. Humans love to attribute emotions and ideas to animals on the slimmest of evidence.
robb says
until chimps deploy predator drones, i am not too worried.
andyo says
A bit scary. Like a spin-off of Murders in the Rue Morgue but with an arsonist.
Glen Davidson says
Not enough global warming being caused by humans?
Chimps will release the forest carbon, and we'll obviously keep on burning whatever we can extract from the earth.
Trebuchet says
I'm just glad he didn't put the fire out the way we did when I was in Boy Scouts!
Irene Delse says
@ Trebuchet:
Let me take a wild guess: in a way that teenage boys find extremely funny?
daved says
Orang-utans in Borneo have been making fire for a while. They simply take lighters from human camps, and they're far too strong for the humans to take the lighters back again. (If you don't agree, let's see you do it.) It's a real menace during the dry season, from what I've read.
sheila says
Well they've had about 6 million years since our common ancestor. And presumably "smart" is still a survival trait.
Of course there's a huge difference between working out how to make a fire yourself and copying someone else. Not to mention the difference between lighters and rubbing sticks.
Bit still – it seems that every time we get more data, humans aren't as exceptional as we thought.
'Tis Himself, OM. says
They simply take lighters from human camps, and they're far too strong for the humans to take the lighters back again. (If you don't agree, let's see you do it.)
Those of us who read Terry Pratchett know about the Librarian.
KG says
Of course there's a huge difference between working out how to make a fire yourself and copying someone else. – sheila
True, but the first stage in domesticating fire was almost certainly learning to use fire started by lighting and volcanic eruptions. There has been at least one modern human culture (the Tasmanian) in which knowledge of fire-making is said to have died out*; but they still used fire, carrying it around with them in the form of smouldering moss in a bark container, IIRC.
*Tasmanian culture itself, along with most of the Tasmanians, was eliminated by British settlers in the 19th century, so this could be wrong.
madscientist says
That's fantastic – although if they're as slow as humans were, it'll be a few tens of thousand years before they discover roast pig. Imagine that – it'll take longer than the universe had been in existence!
Irene Delse says
The claim that Tasmanian Aborigines at one point in their history lost the ability to make fire has been contested recently. Cf. Rebe Taylor's 2008 paper:
PZ Myers says
Roast pig? No…teach them about bacon, and suddenly they'll be mastering sharp knives and fire. And then we're doomed.
Wowbagger, Madman of Insleyfarne says
Well, don't worry – I'm sure that, as soon as they discover marijuana and work out how to bring the two together, conservative governments everywhere will declare war on them.
anuran says
He's a bonobo. Bonobos wouldn't use rifles to kill anyone. They'd rework them into sex toys. Regular chimps? That could be a problem.
robster says
Jees, this is bad timing. We watched the new Planet of the Apes movie last night. Now this! Hope they went back later and collected their trash.
DLC says
If there are fire-using apes why are there still humans ?
Answer me that, Eviloutionists with your False Darwin God!!1 11!
theophontes, Hexanitroisowurtzitanverwendendes_Bärtierchen says
@ leighshryock
[racist comments on youtube]
Sadly I am not surprised. I suggest not ever reading the comments on youtube – nor commenting. That site really brings the worst out of the woodwork. (Because actually reading OP's in regular blogs is to much effort for that type of commentor?)
scooterskutre says
I can almost predict one of those staged Nature programs with Kanzi facing off with Smokey the Bear.

Holding hands, living in the light
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian went out for dinner last night at Katsuya. The paps were waiting out front. There is a side door. It was suggested they could leave via the side door. Instead, they chose to go out the main exit holding hands. And happily.
LeAnn fronted in the car like she didn't want to be photographed but whatever…
They knew.
They knew these pictures would get picked up. And not only did they get picked up, People.com devoted an entire article on it today with this asslicking opening sentence:
Who's that cute couple smiling so brightly for shutterbugs Monday night?
Two marriages in tatters, not even a year passed, children of a broken home, and the publication chooses to whitewash the Homewreck by calling them cute? LeAnn and Eddie are many things. Cute is not the first, nor is the most appropriate, adjective to use in this situation. Then again, maybe cute looks different when you're lodged inside the Celebrity Anal Cavity.
As for those two cheating f-ckers… well…their careers have never been hotter. He's now a regular on CSI: Miami with a steady stream of MOV offers and she's working on a new album due out early next year, expected to sell well considering she makes headlines now.
Hollywood rewards the righteous.

Probably Spurious Report: Robert Pattinson Loses Himself in the World of Online Gaming to Cope with Break-Up
Everyone copes with break-ups differently. Some people seek comfort in new relationships. Some people spend all day playing computer games. Some people craft elaborate fictions imagining how people in break-ups are coping.
The Sun is that kind of people.
On Monday, The Sun imagined that it was close friends with one of Robert Pattinson's close friends, and that this person had recently phoned it up to gossip all about how Robert Pattinson is dealing with his betrayal at the hands of Dakota Fanning's friend Kristen.
The Sun imagined that Robert Pattinson's friend spoke very formally and told it Robert had nobody to talk to; that he had become That Guy in the hotel restaurant who whines to part-time bartenders and uncomfortable fellow patrons about his cheating ex-girlfriend.
"Robert has resorted to asking strangers out to keep him company. He went out for drinks with a woman staying in his hotel and he told her it was 'ridiculous' he had nobody to talk to.'"
It's unclear who told The Sun's imaginary friend this story about Robert Pattinson's pathetic date with a stranger. Was it Robert Pattinson himself? Wouldn't that mean, even according to the illogic of The Sun's imagination, that Robert Pattinson did have someone to talk to? Was it the stranger? Did the sharer of the story use quotation marks around "ridiculous" the way The Sun does in this lively re-telling?
The tabloid also reports that, when he's not complaining to the people he's talking to about how he has nobody to talk to, Robert Pattinson is "spending most of his days off playing computer games."
What games do you think The Sun thinks Robert Pattinson is playing? Spider Solitaire? Neopets?
Sporcle quizzes?

Well after 5 and a half years of residence in the UK, I have finally resurrected my little Marshall GR-15CD amp and plugged in my JBovier EMC-5 for a bit of fun.
I had to buy a 45amp step-down transformer so I can plug into the wall without blowing fuses, and I bought a rather large pile of 500 milliamp fuses just in case.
Just ran straight from the mando to the amp or a short cable. I spent about an hour playing through tunes and riffs, tweaking the 2 preamp channels, treble, and contour settings to try different tones.
I had a lot of fun playing Ashokan Farewell in the style of Joe Satriani!
After a while I started playing the Star Spangled Banner and then followed with God Save the Queen/America the Beautiful (same tune different words). At that point I realised it was time to call it a night.
Next step is to dust off the Boss pedal board.
I might have to work some emando into the set list now, though I doubt that will go down well at an English folk club!

At Thanksgiving, many take time to be grateful for their family, friends, and what they have. For Yorktown Heights resident Paula Miritello, Thanksgiving – and every day – is all about giving.
Miritello has always been about helping others. She took care of her brother Vinny who had cerebral palsy until his death in 2000 at age 21 and then continued with charity work in her brother's memory, raising funds for various causes from the Special Olympics to mental health groups to charities that help those with special needs.
"Although, he could not walk or talk he had the most beautiful personality, loved to laugh and spend time with his family," said Miritello.
In 2013, the focus of her work changed when she heard that veterans working to get their lives back on track were given apartments -- but nothing else -- through a government initiative. Often without full-time jobs or family support, they were left waiting months to receive furniture and basic necessities like towels and plates.
Moved by their plight, Miritello decided to see what she could do, and the seeds for a charity were formed.
"It was impossible not to help," said Miritello.
My Brother Vinny , named after Miritello's beloved brother, works to help vets make new homes by distributing food, clothing, housewares, and furniture. Thanks to 100 percent donations and volunteers, her organization has so far helped over 500 veterans make new homes in Dutchess, Putnam, and Westchester counties.
Veterans are referred to her group through the VA and other agencies.
"We give them everything: beds, kitchenware, tables, chairs," said Miritello. She hit the jackpot when she reconnected on Facebook with an old friend who is a hotel renovator and donates the old furnishings to My Brother Vinny.
"We just picked up furniture from the Embassy Suites hotel at Logan Airport in Boston," said Miritello.
This is where volunteers come to play. It takes many people to pick up and move all the necessary furniture. Veterans that have already benefited from My Brother Vinny are key volunteers.
"Wayne, a veteran –#190 – we helped in Yonkers, is one of my top volunteers," said Miritello.
"We moved him into his first apartment ever – his own place at age 50. He's doing wonderfully.
"Our society makes it difficult for those in need to get support services. If you can do more, give more, be more! Go out and do it!"
Miritello, who was named a "Woman of Distinction" by Sen. Terrance P. Murphy (himself a Yorktown resident), urged all to remember those in need – especially our veterans – not just at holiday time but year round.

Is Your SCADA Vulnerable to a Cyber Attack? Call 1-800-USA-0DAY
"You can't change a password or your lights will go out!" yelled out a woman sitting in the audience of a workshop on how to secure a SCADA system. The woman identified herself as an engineer at a New York electric company.
"It would take us 5 years and $25 million to change a SCADA system," she said.
Her comments were in response to a presentation delivered by Blake Cornell, an independent security researcher speaking at the third annual International Conference on Cyber Security here in New York City.
In recent years, we've seen an alarming number of breaches (and misreports) into critical infrastructure of industrial control systems, like electric and power grids, known simply as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). Stuxnet, that enduring, infrastructure-targeting beast of a computer worm that crippled Iran's nuclear facilities in 2010, probably comes to mind first. Duqu, another worm believed to be written by the same authors, was programmed to steal industrial trade secrets. Together the worms have infected around 100,000 computers equipped with Siemens PLCs and Windows-based industrial software.
What motivates the cyber criminals behind such attacks? It's not hard to imagine: terrorism, extortion, political activism.
According to Cornell, in 2011 three researchers found 147 0-day SCADA vulnerabilities between them. One of the most astonishing vulnerabilities, reported by security researcher Billy Rios, was that the default administrative password of several Siemens systems was "100." If a user tried changing this password to include a special character, it would automatically revert back to "100" because Siemens's platform did not accept special characters. Changing this default password sounded like a no-brainer until I heard the SCADA engineer's comment.
She also completely reaffirmed Cornell's topline recommendation: build a your SCADA right the first time. "The best way to implement a secure system is to plan and design a secure system," he said.
He offered some other, admittedly generic tips, like using a PCI level of compliance, conducting penetration tests, reviewing your source code, and using strong cryptography.
More idealistically, Cornell also called for what he dubbed "SCADA patriotism" to protect our industrial systems. For instance, why not form a government organization whose sole purpose is to respond to reports of SCADA-related vulnerabilities? To encourage white hat hackers to report found vulnerabilities, there needs to be a consistent, responsive communication outlet. Rios had to wait seven months for a response from Siemens, according to CSO.
"This will allow a researcher the ability to securely report vulnerabilities to a governing body while knowing vendors will be more willing to resolve the issue," Cornell had written in a PowerPoint slide.
He even had a name for it: 1-800-USA-0DAY.

If ever there was a year made for Revue this is it. Federal elections, provincial elections, and a couple of juicy defections besides! Ryan Cleary - you couldnt make this stuff up! Cabinet ministers deserting the ship, and Davis looking for help wherever he can find it. Federally it looks like red is the new orange.
Harper is gone and good riddance says Ches Crosbie and millions more and we have a Foote in the door of cabinet. Practice yoga, breathe easy, sunny ways says their mighty leader. Was Brian Peckford right all along - some day the sun shine and have not will be no more?
Come see our predictions for the next year! And it wasnt all politics - there was a freeze warning in July, a snowmobile with no driver, sewage at a council office, bonuses for Nalcor and Hydro managers, a thumbs down to half the food we eat and much more. You will not want to miss Revue '15. Watch for more reveals as the show takes shape!
It started in 1984 as a three-night show, a commentary on the events of the previous year and a way to give Newfoundlanders a collective sense of who we are and how our great sense of humor keeps us sane. Now after over 30 seasons, Revue continues to fill the province's Arts and Culture Centres and beyond.

You'll Like The 2010 Mazda CX-9 If...
If large three-row CUV practicality with a fair measure of Mazda "Zoom-Zoom" character might be your cup of tea, take a look at the 2010 Mazda CX-9. Its combination of sporty looks, eager performance and people and cargo capacity should impress you.
You May Not Like The 2010 Mazda CX-9 If...
If your needs include a greater level of off-road prowess or heavier cargo and towing capability, one of many less sporty but more powerful and capable SUVs on the market would be a better choice.
What's New
For 2010, the CX-9 receives a slight exterior and interior refresh, gaining the company's new signature front end, large side mirrors and a new headlamp/fog light design.
Interior Features
The CX-9's interior upholds the exterior's sporting character but with more luxury touches than the less expensive CX-7. Its instrument panel has quad chrome-ringed gauges under a prominent hood and a logically laid-out audio and climate control area bounded by rich wood spears plunging from dash-top to floor and mirroring similar pieces in the door panels. The three-spoke steering wheel, contoured front bucket seats and two-tone trim say "sports car" more than "SUV," while blue indirect lighting adds an upscale glow at night. The 60/40 second-row seat reclines and slides forward to enhance third-row access, and both it and the 50/50 third seat fold flat into the floor, like many CUVs in this class, the CX-9's third row seat is best suited for children or diminutive adults.
Exterior Features
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is well dressed for its role as the bigger brother of Mazda's CX-7 sport CUV. Its look is Mazda sporty, with a signature five-point grille over a wide, aggressive bumper, wrap-around headlights and a broad-shouldered tail with curving tail lights and twin trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips. One nice touch is a full-width chrome strip across the top of the black-out grille opening, which flows across the top of the large, centered Mazda logo and is mirrored again in the lower grille opening. Long rear doors allow easy access to the third-row seats, although it's still a bit of squeeze for adults venturing rearward.
Driving Impressions
A lightly-loaded 2010 CX-9 does a creditable job of living up to Mazda's "Zoom-Zoom" marketing promise with its rigid unibody chassis, low-friction MacPherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension, precise engine-speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering and stabilizer bars at both ends. Despite its substantial size and weight, it acquits itself surprisingly well on curvy country roads and rides smoothly and quietly at freeway speeds. With more people and cargo aboard, it is understandably less athletic and loses some performance, but it remains a satisfying ride. Unlike many three-row CUVs, there is ample adult-size room in all seating positions and 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
Pricing Notes
With just one engine and transmission combination, the 2010 Mazda CX-9 starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just over $30,000, while all-wheel-drive adds another $1,400 to the bottom line. A fully loaded Grand Touring can climb as high as $40,000. That places it higher than the five-passenger Ford Edge and about even with the three-row Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot. Active Torque-Split all-wheel drive is an extra-cost option. The good news is that the CX-9, although slightly more expensive than many of its competitors, is projected to retain a higher resale value than the Edge and Traverse. Be sure to check Fair Purchase Prices to see what buyers are actually paying in your area.
Notable Equipment
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 is offered in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The base Sport comes with three-row, seven-passenger seating, front and rear air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry, tilt wheel, cruise control, AM/FM/CD audio and six sets of air bags (front, side and full-length side curtain). Additional safety features include four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The mid-range Touring and top-line Grand Touring add leather trim, power front seats and more.
Notable Options
The 2010 Mazda CX-9 has an options list that mimics a premium-level sedan. Major options available on the CX-9 include SIRIUS Satellite Radio, DVD-based touch-screen navigation, Blind Spot Monitoring System, Surround Sound Bose premium audio with a six-CD changer (single disc when combined with navigation), rear DVD entertainment system, keyless entry and start, 4.3-inch view screen with rear backup camera and a power rear liftgate. All-wheel drive is an important functional option.
Favorite Features
60/40-Split, Sliding, Reclining Second-Row Seat
This versatile center-row seat slides five inches to accommodate long-legged folks either on or behind it. The seat also has reclining backrests, offers easy access to the third row with a one-handed release and folds flat into the floor to optimize cargo room.
Active Torque-Split All-Wheel-Drive
On available all-wheel-drive models, sensors signal control modules to send more torque to the axle with the best traction automatically. Up to half the engine's torque can be sent to the rear through a computer-controlled coupling connected to the rear differential.
Under the Hood
The 2010 Mazda CX-9's 3.7-liter V6 is a variation of the 3.5-liter engine that powers its American cousins, the Ford Edge, however, the 3.7-liter version is specific to Mazda and Lincoln. It powers the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission, or all four wheels with Mazda's available Active Torque-Split all-wheel-drive.
3.7-liter V6
273 horsepower @ 6250 rpm
270 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 (FWD), 15/21 (AWD)
Editors' Notes
Car-based "crossover" utility vehicles (CUVs) try to marry the best attributes of passenger cars and SUVs, and these days they are leaving the woods and mountains behind. The goal is to offer a sporty, urban vibe, and none pulls this off better than the 2010 Mazda CX-9. It offers the tough-to-achieve blend of sport sedan and SUV that can corner and carry equally well. Like the smaller Mazda CX-7, the CX-9 is genuinely fun to drive yet still useful on a shopping trip or a family vacation. Of the two, the CX-7 may be a tad sportier, but its larger three-row, seven-passenger CX-9 stablemate, which shares its engine and much of its architecture with Ford's Edge and Lincoln's new MKT, delivers a similar feel while upping the utility quotient considerably.

Mississippi toddler still HIV free
Posted: Oct 24, 2013 1:23 PM CDT | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 12:29 PM CDT
(CNN) -- Just hours after delivery, a baby born with HIV in Mississippi was given high doses of three antiretroviral drugs. Two and half years later, doctors say the little girl still has no evidence of the life-threatening disease in her blood, despite being taken off medication.
It's a potential game changer in the fight against the virus that causes AIDS, and it happened almost by accident.
The unidentified girl was born to a mother who received no prenatal care and was not diagnosed as HIV positive herself until just before delivery, according to a case report published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
\"We didn't have the opportunity to treat the mom during the pregnancy as we would like to be able do to prevent transmission to the baby,\" said Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Doctors administered the antiretroviral drugs 30 hours after the girl was born in hopes of controlling the virus. Within a couple of days, Gay confirmed the child was HIV positive. She said the baby had probably been infected in the womb.
The child remained on antiretroviral drugs for approximately 15 months. Her mother then stopped administering the drug for some reason, Gay said. The child has not received any antiretroviral drugs since that time, according to the report.
In March, researchers announced that the girl was the first child to be \"functionally cured\" of HIV. A \"functional cure\" is when the presence of the virus is so small, lifelong treatment is not necessary and standard clinical tests cannot detect the virus in the blood.
Gay told CNN the timing of intervention -- before the baby's HIV diagnosis -- may deserve \"more emphasis than the particular drugs or number of drugs used.\"
\"We are hoping that future studies will show that very early institution of effective therapy will result in this same outcome consistently,\" she said.
High-risk exposure
In March, Dr. Katherine Luzuriaga, an immunologist at the University of Massachusetts who worked closely with Gay, called the developments fascinating, including the fact that the toddler was found to have no virus in her blood even after her mother stopped giving her treatment.
\"This is the very first case in which we've conclusively been able to document that the baby was infected and then after a period of treatment has been able to go off treatment without viral rebound,\" Luzuriaga told CNN.
Researchers have long known that treating HIV-positive mothers early on is important, because they pass antibodies on to their babies.
\"One hundred percent of (HIV-positive) moms will pass those antibodies, but in the absence of treatment, only 30% of moms will transmit the actual virus,\" Luzuriaga told CNN.
HIV-positive mothers given appropriate treatment pass on the virus in less than 2% of cases, Luzuriaga said.
\"So all babies are born antibody positive, but only a fraction of babies born to HIV-positive women will actually get the virus, and that fraction depends on whether the mom and baby are getting antiviral prophylaxis (preventative treatment) or not,\" Luzuriaga said.
Newborns are considered high-risk if their mothers' HIV infections are not under control or if they are found to be HIV positive when they're close to delivering.
Moving quickly to suppress the virus
Usually, these infants would get antiviral drugs at preventative doses for six weeks to prevent infection, then start therapy if HIV is diagnosed.
Investigators said the Mississippi case may change that practice because it highlights the potential for cure with early standard antiretroviral therapy, or ART.
ART is a combination of at least three drugs used to suppress the virus and stop the progression of the disease.
But they do not kill the virus. Tests showed the virus in the Mississippi baby's blood continued to decrease and reached undetectable levels within 29 days of the initial treatment.
Dr. Deborah Persaud, a virologist with Johns Hopkins Children's Center, was lead author on an early report about this case that was presented at a conference.
The early treatment likely led to the infant's cure, she said.
\"Prompt antiviral therapy in newborns that begins within days of exposure may help infants clear the virus and achieve long-term remission without lifelong treatment by preventing such viral hideouts from forming in the first place,\" Persaud said.
Persaud and Luzuriaga are part of a group of researchers working to explore and document possible pediatric HIV cure cases. The group was funded by a grant from amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, and the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Rowena Johnston, amfAR vice president and director of research, said it is \"imperative that we learn more about a newborn's immune system, how it differs from an adult's and what factors made it possible for the child to be cured.\"
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said in March that he was enthusiastic about the findings.
\"The best way to either eliminate the virus or allow the immune system to suppress residual virus is to treat someone as early as possible after infection so as not to allow a substantial reservoir of the virus to take hold,\" Fauci told CNN.
\"At the same time, you prevent the immune system from being severely damaged by the continual replication of (the) virus for an extended period of time,\" he said. \"The situation with a child born of an infected mother where most of the infections are transmitted to the newborn at or around the time of delivery provides an excellent opportunity to cure an infected baby, and this approach deserves further study.\"
'Berlin patient'
Researchers say the only other documented case of an HIV cure is that of Timothy Brown, known as the \"Berlin patient.\" In 2007, Brown, an HIV-positive American living in Germany, was battling both leukemia and HIV when he underwent a bone marrow transplant that cured not only his cancer but his HIV.
In an interview last year, Brown told Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, he was still HIV-free.
\"I've been tested everywhere possible,\" said Brown, who now lives in San Francisco. \"My blood's been tested by many, many agencies. I've had two colonoscopies to test to see if they could find HIV in my colon, and they haven't been able to find any.\"
But Brown's case is rare.
And the procedure, which is extremely dangerous, won't work in most patients because the bone marrow he received had a special genetic mutation that made the stem cells in it naturally resistant to the virus.
Researchers tell CNN only 1% of Caucasians -- mostly Northern Europeans -- and no African-Americans or Asians have this particular mutation.
In June, five years after he was \"cured,\" reports surfaced that \"traces\" of the virus had been found in Brown's blood.
Even then, some HIV experts said that doesn't matter, that he's been cured. In fact, many AIDS experts said they believe Brown has experienced what's called a \"sterilizing\" cure, meaning the virus has been eliminated from the body entirely.
Routine clinical testing on the Mississippi toddler continues.
\"We have formed a hypothesis,\" Luzuriaga said, \"and that is already driving the design of new studies and clinical trials that will help us to answer the question of whether by coming in very early we will be able to treat children for a while and then remove them from therapy.\"

Thanks to Bikurgurl for hosting 100 Word Wednesdays.
Sweet dark chocolate slides across my tongue, the richness of chocolate icing soft and creamy; the moist cake, competing for flavour with the icing. It's sweetness allows one to eat it slowly. Too much cake at once would ruin the experience and leave me with an upset stomach. But each bite savoured with pleasure and a bit of vanilla ice cream, ensures my scrumptious chocolate cake is a heavenly experience.
Across the table you wink, you knew it was my favourite cake and you ordered it for me. Our eyes hold as you eat your own cake and I absorb every ounce of chocolate flavour in mine; eating cake becomes seduction.

LONDON - A Royal Navy petty officer who worked on nuclear submarines was sentenced to eight years in prison Wednesday for passing secrets to British agents impersonating Russian spies.
Edward Devenney, 30, was arrested in March after a sting operation headed by Britain's domestic security agency, MI5. He pleaded guilty last month to breaching the Official Secrets Act.
"I have brought great shame to my family, loved ones and the submarine service," said Devenney, from Northern Ireland.
Lawyers said a series of personal blows preceded Devenney's betrayal. Hehad been accused but cleared of rape, was depressed and had been drinking heavily.
Prosecutor Mark Dennis also said Devenney had lost out on a promotion due to budget cuts and had been warned about excessive work absences.
Three days before Devenney met the supposed Russian agents in January - a meeting that came after he contacted the Russian Embassy - he was warned he would be discharged if his behavior didn't improve by April.
It wasn't immediately clear why the meeting was set up with the MI5 agents after Devenney called the Russian Embassy. Part of the court hearing was closed to protect national security.
"The potential damage could have been considerable and could have harmed the safety and security of the United Kingdom," Dennis said.
Devenney, who had been in the navy for more than a decade, had been a communications engineer on nuclear sub HMS Vigilant when he contacted the Russian Embassy.
He had security clearance to go into a room where secret encrypted material was kept in a safe though he wasn't authorized to open the safe or have a code for it, Dennis said.
Still, Devenney managed to take three pictures on his mobile phone that showed pieces of encrypted material which, if compromised, could have hampered the submarine's covert deployment. He had also offered to give the agents details of the movements of Vigilant, the prosecutor said.
"This was a classic story of betrayal," said Mari Reid, with the Crown Prosecution Service's counterterrorism unit. "Luckily for us, the men he met ... were not Russian agents, but members of the British Security Service."

Adopt a Bighorn Sheep
Two subspecies of bighorn sheep are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act: the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep and the peninsular bighorn sheep. Although the entire bighorn sheep species is not currently threatened with extinction, the loss of these two populations is very serious as well. If the two subspecies are eliminated, we will lose important genetic diversity and force this species onto more narrow and limited ranges. Bighorn sheep can be found in scattered herds throughout the Rocky Mountains and Southwest. They like rocky cliffs, hills and mountains in both cold and hot climates. Help NWF in its efforts to protect and recover the wild places that sustain wildlife. Adopt a bighorn sheep today!

There are several ways to
keep a menstrual diary of your
PMS symptoms. Diaries that require daily recording are
more reliable in tracking your symptoms. Calendars without marks for a day may
mean you forgot to record for that day rather than a day when you didn't have
any symptoms.
You can choose your
five most bothersome PMS symptoms and record their severity daily with a score
from 0 to 3 (0 being the absence of that symptom, 3 being most severe). See
example below.
You can keep a calendar
that lists a wide variety of symptoms. You record the severity of each symptom
daily on a scale of 1 to 3 (1 being mild and 3 being severe). If the symptom is
not present on any day, you don't record anything. See example below.
You can use symbols to indicate the
presence and severity of a list of symptoms or just the ones most bothersome to
you. If you don't have a symptom that day, you don't mark the diary for that
day. A mild symptom is indicated with a dot. Moderate symptoms are indicated by
a circle. Severe symptoms are indicated by an X. See example below.

A-Rod in simulated game, could be Trenton bound
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez played in a simulated game Thursday, probably the last step before the New York Yankees send him on a second minor league injury rehabilitation assignment -- if he's not suspended first.
Because of wet grounds, the Yankees moved Rodriguez's simulated game from their minor league complex across the Dale Mabry highway to Steinbrenner Field, the team's spring training home.
The ballpark was closed to media, who watched from a walkway behind the right-field bullpen. Rodriguez had several at-bats, played third and ran bases during the simulated game. About two dozen media members and five television trucks were on hand -- but no fans.
Coming back from January hip surgery, Rodriguez was .200 (8 for 40) with two homers and eight RBIs in 13 minor league games from July 2-20 for Class A Tampa and Charleston (S.C.), Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The assignment was cut a day short when he complained of quadriceps tightness, and the Yankees said an MRI in New York on July 21 showed a grade 1 strain.
Rodriguez pushed to be activated later that week, retaining a doctor without giving the Yankees the required notification, and the physician claimed he couldn't detect an injury. During a conference call with Yankees officials on July 25 -- Rodriguez insisted one of his lawyers be on the call -- the sides agreed to a schedule for his return.
New York was expected to assign A-Rod to Trenton for Friday night's game against Reading. While he would be in position to return to the major leagues later in the weekend at San Diego or during a series at the Chicago White Sox that starts Monday, it appears Major League Baseball will suspend the three-time MVP in coming days for ties to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Four years ago Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03, but he repeatedly has denied using them since.
He appeared ready to talk as he was leaving the minor league complex, waving a group of writers to his car in the parking lot and rolling down the window. However, when A-Rod saw a second group with TV cameras approaching, he said "I'll talk to you guys, but no cameras."
Rodriguez closed the window and kept the car stationary for a moment, then left without saying another word to reporters.

As you may or may not know I have been contracting since 2007, almost 4 years now and I have to say that it has been best business/career decision that I have made, even through the worst recession since the 1930's have managed maintain paying work and hopefully 'touch wood' that continues in the future.
I had an experience recently where a deal went wrong, this is the first time in my contracting career that a real 'bad thing' happened to me. Basically a deal went bad when I thought it was signed and sealed. I'm not going to go into the 'nitty gritty' of it here, but it did get me thinking about contracting, running a business and how it differently things play out compared to permanent employment. In hindsight and on reflection there is very little that I could have done to prevent this deal going bad. I did though want to learn from it.That gave me an idea that maybe I could write a little about my contracting experiences to help others who may be trying to do the same thing as myself.
So with that in mind I have launched a sub-domain on my blog where I will talk about contracting, this will generally be a UK focused but I'm sure there will be something to help contractors and business owners who live and work outside the UK. Also I'm not going to re-invent the wheel either, there are some other good sites out there that will cover an issue better than me I will happily re-direct you there for more information.
The contracting side of this blog will not be included in my blog main feed, you will need to subscribe to it separately. I have done this because most of the readers of my main blog are there because I write predominately about SQL Server and I do not want to dilute or mix-up the contracting stuff with my SQL Server writing.
My contracting blog can be found here http://contracting.gethynellis.com/ if this is something that you are interested in, or even currently doing please feel free to subscribe to the feed, contributions, thoughts and opinions welcome.

The magnetic anisotropy of Co/Cu~001! films has been investigated by the magneto-optical Kerr effect, both in the pseudomorphic growth regime and above the critical thickness where strain relaxation sets in. A clear correlation between the onset of strain relaxation as measured by means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction and changes of the magnetic anisotropy has been found.
We present results of anisotropy and exchange-coupling studies of asymmetric Co/Cr/Fe trilayers and superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Cr~001!/Mg~001! buffers and substrates. The magnetic properties have been investigated using both the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect and ferromagnetic resonance. The hysteresis data obtained from the trilayer system were fit to a theoretical model which contains both bilinear and biquadratic coupling. The effective in-plane anisotropy was found to be of fourfold symmetry with the same easy-axis orientation for both the Fe and Co layers. An analysis of the easy-axis hysteresis loops indicates long-period oscillatory coupling and also suggests a short periodic coupling. We show that weakly antiferromagnetically coupled asymmetric films might serve as potential candidates for improved spin-valve systems.
Suppression of the magnetocrystalline bulk anisotropy in thin epitaxial Co(110) films on Cu(110) (1996)
We report on an unexpected suppression of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy contribution in epitaxial fcc Co(110) films on Cu(110) below a thickness of dc=(50 +/- 10) Å. For film thicknesses larger than dc the measured anisotropy value agrees with published data. Measurements on films with reduced strain indicate a large strain dependence of dc . A model calculation based on a crystal-field formalism and discussed within the context of band theory, which explicitly takes tetragonal misfit strains into account, reproduces the experimen-tally observed anomalies. Our results indicate that the usually applied phenomenological description of anisotropies, assuming additive free energy terms for each anisotropy contribution, fails in this case.

Term: Line
A line is a subdivision of a poem, specifically a group of words arranged into a row that ends for a reason other than the right-hand margin. This reason could be that the lines are arranged to have a certain number of syllables, a certain number of stresses, or of metrical feet; it could be that they are arranged so that they rhyme, whether they be of equal length or not. But it is important to remember that the poet has chosen to make the line a certain length, or to make the line-break at a certain point. This line-break, where a reader has to turn back to the start of the next line, was known in Latin as the versus, which translates as "turn", and is where the modern English term "verse" comes from. It is one of the strongest points of a line, which means that words that fall at the end of a line seem more important to a reader (an effect that rhyme can intensify); other strong points are the start of a line, and either side of a caesura.
Just about every poem in the Archive has lines (prose poems can be argued over - they either don't have lines, or have really long lines). It has been suggested that a line is supposed to be the length of a breath, so that a long line should leave you breathless, or a short line should make you feel like you're hyperventilating. This reason may be debatable, but an alertness to the frequency of the line-endings is part of reading poetry.
Poets will sometimes use a regular line length, which, naturally, gives a sense of regularity; they may use different line-lengths for every line, which suggests that each line is set to be the length it is by its content; or they may use different-length lines that occur in a repeated pattern, which has elements of both. ('Length' can be measured in a few different ways - see 'Metre' for more on this.) Examples of each are, respectively, Anthony Thwaite's 'Simple Poem', Adrienne Rich's 'Fox', and Robert Minhinnick's 'The Yellow Palm'.
Ciaran Carson's 'Belfast Confetti' has some of the longest lines in the Archive; it gives the poet freedoms within the line that Charles Tomlinson doesn't allow himself in 'A Given Grace', but the short lines of the latter poem make sense with its presentation of a close-up examination, which would, perhaps, jar with Carson's presentation of a violent event and wanderings through a city.
