ISHAQ, M et al. DESULPHURIZATION OF CRUDE OIL DISTILLATES WITH PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA. J. Chil. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2007, vol.52, n.4, pp.1299-1301. ISSN 0717-9707. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-97072007000400006.
Removal of benzothiophene was studied with pseudomonas putida. Crude oil distillates were inoculated with p. putida and desulphurization activity was studied as a function of inoculation time. Significant amount of benzothiophene has been depleted in reaction time of 12 hours in all the three distillates studied. The depletion observed was 58.38 %, 60.90 % and 59.29 %, in case of light, middle and heavy fractions, respectively. Benzothiophene was concentrated mostly in the heavy fraction (570 ppm) followed by medium fraction (440 ppm), followed by light fraction (334 ppm). Benzothiophene in virgin and variously inoculated samples was determined spectrometrically by using GC-MS technique

Mountain pastures
Mountain pastures below mighty mountains above the Soča valley represent a remarkable economic, social and cultural heritage. Some of them are as old as the settlements in the valley. The mountain pastures below Krn are mentioned in the Oglej documents as early as the 12th century. Here the cheese makers and shepherds transfer the knowledge of their ancestors and the ancient laws of economy and social behaviour from generation to generation. The architectural heritage of shepherd settlements and stables is of great ethnological value. Sadly, the buildings were irreparably damaged in the Soška fronta maelstrom and by earthquakes later. Visits to some of the mountain pastures still in operation are possible with a local guide.

I am pretty sure the first lady was not at all amused on reading this update from Phoenix:
The Arizona Diamondbacks are having trouble keeping up with the demand for their new D-bat corn dog, an 18-inch long corn dog stuffed with cheese, bacon, and jalapenos.
Arizona says they moved 300 of the $25 behemoths on opening day and now they only have enough left to make 100 per game for the rest of their opening home stand.
Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall told ESPN that the team will use their upcoming road trip to stock up on the necessary provisions and possibly make the D-bat available in more than two of the stadiums concession stands.
Here's hoping that Chase Field's bathroom pipes are also able to handle the increased demand. (And considering the ongoing issues at Oakland's O.Co Coliseum, thank heavens the A's didn't come up with a similar product for sale.)

{Christmas Day 2012}
Christmas morning arrived in a flash. All the excitement and build-up!! The kids didn't wake up until almost 8am (yay!). They waited for us to set up downstairs before racing down the stairs so quickly I barely got one picture!
Santa had come! Everything glowed...the bright tree, warm fire, ribbons and bows. It's a happy day for a kid and for everyone! We were so blessed.
Rylan was thrilled about his new big boy bike! He rode around on the tile off an on the whole morning. And Carson got a new bike too...upgrading to a 26 inch!
And this basketball-loving baby got his very own hoop! Writing this a month after Christmas, I can safely say this gift is probably the most used of all the gifts received that day. This boy loves his own hoop and never tires of taking shots each and every day with his wide variety of basketballs (aka...anything round). As he squealed in delight it just filled my heart with joy. It is the best feeling watching your kids open something they just adore.
Carson was surprised to get his very own Red Rider BB gun this year (every boy MUST have one at some point, right?)
And also got his 'top pick' from his Grandma...a radio/dock for his iPod.
Addy couldn't get the wrapping paper off fast enough to discover the pink camera she wrote to Santa about.
And her very own American Girl doll that she cherishes and loves on all the time.
We had so many TOYS to play with this year (I guess that's what happens with 4 kids that are all in the 'toy phase'...I'll be sad when they want clothes and $$, that's just no fun.) It was really so nice taking our time to open presents one at a time and then taking items out of packages and assembling. I love going at a slower pace and letting the kids enjoy their gifts as well as taking some time to be grateful to the sender. We sent a lot of text pictures that day to cousins, aunts & uncles, and grandmas and grandpas expressing thanks for such generosity and kindness.
This year the kids drew names for each other and they had to use their own money to buy something. Carson picked out the cutest Mickey Mouse car for Miles (He loves cars and Mickey Mouse...perfect combo). It was so sweet to see Carson so excited for Miles to open his gift...and I'm glad he is beginning to understand that feeling of giving can be pretty darn great!
The only thing Rylan asked for his year was a "big dinosaur, like Rex" (from Toy Story). I don't know where he got that idea. He's loved Toy Story for years, but all the sudden, it was all about Rex. Santa somehow located such a thing. And he loves it. It talks and roars too!
Other faves were binoculars...that really work!
And this fun wooden mailbox.
Grandma Dalley made these fun pillow cases for the kiddos!
And my favorite expression caught on camera that day...when the kids opened an iPad that we've been saying Santa won't be bringing this year. Surprise!! Priceless. (And maybe this is the gift that gets used the most. It's hard to keep them off of it.)
The aftermath, below. It was so much fun having Uncle Tyler, Grandma Judy and Grandpa Chuck here with us. Having more adults than kids really helps out when you have a 'major-assembly-required' day. They were so helpful with the kiddos. And I was able to play with my new camera lens and am now realizing I didn't get a single shot of me the entire day. Trevor was busy with the kids all day (and trying to recover from the late night), but loved his new running gear, phone, and watch. The kids spoiled me with some fun jewelry and homemade gifts too...my favorite!
Our parents were amazingly generous too. My mom makes me feel like a kid again every year with her thoughtful and fun gifts ideas that she comes up with. And the grandmas and grandpas showered their grand kids with all kinds of goodies.
The boys got out to ride their new bikes!
And play with the new family gift from Santa (the one the elves were working on really late on Christmas Eve!). I've got 3 boys...it was time for a legitimate basketball hoop!!
Christmas dinner wasn't too difficult with so many helping hands. Yummy ham...and all the fixings. Delish!
It was a beautiful day that always goes by too quickly. We left the bulk of the toys and presents in the family room and opened and played with different games & toys for the next week...trying to hold on to Christmas as long as we could. It's always tough taking the trees down and marking the end of the season. But what a wonderful one it was!! We enjoyed it so much!

|Choose location
TEst location before installation. Inductive loads such as motors, blowers can intefere with Z-wave. Resistive loads such as light bulbs, heating elements do not intefere with Z-wave.
Zwave 908.42 MHz and is relatively free from interferance with other radio signals. Z-wave is a radio wave. Each country has a specific radio frequency or band of the spectrum allocated for z-wave products. America's use a different band than Europe, etc.
Locate in open area so clear communication can take place with controller.
Or locate ZW4004 in clear view of other nodes in the network.
Max 4 nodes between controller and ZW4004.
Do not install GE ZW4004 near motor, air conditioner, furnace or other inductive source of interference.
Do not install with metal or aluminum between GE ZW4004 and controller.
Signal will travel through walls and floors. Up to 30% loss for each wall.
Clear sight-line with controller allows 100' distance.
Several walls reduce distance to 30-50 feet. Brick walls reduce distance more than plaster wall.
Z-wave signal is not as strong as in-home wi-fi signal, for example. Adding several nodes to network helps since each node communicates with other nodes in the network.
Z-wave signal travels outward 360 degrees in all directions like a rock making ripples in a pond.
Obstructions and distance weaken the signal.. Metals can stop the signal, making a dead spot.
Sending signal horizontally through several joists or rafters can block the signal.
Furniture & belongings between controller and Z-wave device can block or weaken signal.
Always test network capability before installation.
Install enclosure directly to structure using 3-4 screws.
GE contactor has Nema 3R metal enclosure that can be used indoor-or-outdoor, and can be exposed to rain, but is not moisture-proof, and not humidity-proof, and cannot be under water. Install at least 12" above anticipated snowfall.
Do not work on contactor unless power is off. Keep enclosure door closed to prevent hazard.
Code vary. Some outdoor installations, such as metal enclosures, solar panels and pool equipmenrt are required by code to have separate direct bond to nearby ground rod in addition to gound wire to main panel. This for safety and to help supress surge events. Outdoor motors must absolutely be grounded.
Why you need ground wire
When power is connected to terminals 1 and 2, this supplies power to operate z-wave receiver, circuit board and both relays.
Use hammer and screwdriver and pliers to remove knockouts to run wire into enclosure. Always use wire connectors to fasten electric cable to enclosure. Electric cables must be tightly secured to enclosure. All cables and conduit must be held tight to structure to preserve installation safety.

|Z-wave basics
a) More devices result in more routes for communication.
Zwave is mesh network. Maximum 232 devices in a network.
Each device has a unique Node id that is assigned by the controller during inclusion.
When controller sends signal to a device node, the signal can be passed from one device to the next device to find best route.
There can be more than one controller, but generally only 1 controller is the master controller.
b) Z-wave devices from different companies will communicate with each other.
Z-wave is designed for home-use products. Each Z-wave product is tested to ensure it will communicate with all Z-wave-compatible controllers and devices.
controllers generally find best route to the GE contactor. If the GE
contactor is out of range, then controller can use maximum 4 other
device nodes to repeat signal until it reaches contactor.
All Z-wave controllers will re-try signal 3 times if communication fails, then search for 2 alternative routes, and try each new route 3 times... storing successful routes in memory.
If all attempts fail, then controller indicates failure. Add repeater node in view of the GE contactor.
If communication is successful, controller will indicate success. Steel and other structure can reduce or block signal.
Always check location before making final installation.
Expect z-wave network to feel more sluggish than flipping on a light switch.
|How Z-wave works: Home-id
and Node-id.
Each Z-wave network requires 1 main controller.
Controllers can be a hand-held controller (portable controller), or wall-mount controller (static controller), or SmartThings Hub (static controller) etc. Controllers can be battery-powered or hardwired. SmartThings Hub is 'hardwired' and continually powered.
At the factory, controllers are given unique Home-id number.
No two controllers have same Home-id. The Home-id cannot be changed inside the controller.
During inclusion of each device, such as the GE Contactor, the controller will assign it's unque Home-id to that device.
Each Z-wave network also requires 1 to 232 devices (actors and sensors).
For example the GE Contactor is an example device (or actor), while Z-wave wall switch is another device.
During inclusion, each device will be assigned a unique Node id by the controller.
To summarize: During inclusion, the controller will assign its Home-id and a unique Node-id to each device.
GE Contactor arrives new out of the box without Home-id or Node-id. Therefore the GE Contactor device is ready to interoperate with any Z-wave controller.
Recommended that each device be excluded before being included. This is to clear any prior inclusions.
If a device falls off network, it must be excluded and then included again.
Most zwave devices today are auto-inclusion type and will ajutomatically seek the network signal.
During inclusion, the device automatically exchanges its node-information-frame to the controller.
The information-frame tells the controller what kind of device and what command classes are supported.
GE Contactor requires no further configuration after inclusion. The controller knows this after receiving the node information frame from the GE Contactor.
While other z-wave devices, such as battery-powered motion detector, can be configured with various parameters such as time interval etc.
Battery operated devices should be configured immediately. When battery-operated device is included, it will stay awake while waiting for configuration... and this can drain battery.
GE Contactor is powered by electricity and not battery, so battery drain is not as issue.
After the controller's Home-id is assigned to a device, then the device will not accept signals from any other controller (unless network has secondary controller or bridge to another network).
This assures that the GE Contactor cannot be operated through somebody else's controller.
Summary: When inclusion is complete, the GE Contactor is assigned the same Home-id as the controller, and is assigned a unique Node-id. And the controller knows what commands can be sent to the GE Contactor.
Zwave does not broadcast your information. Z-wave information packets are too small. The 100 foot range too limited.
But do manufacturers and sellers track products to your address?
Certainly your wifi-based controller can send signals to outside parties.
Remember... the purpose of privacy today is to keep your information from being shown to you or your family unless you authorize release of your information to you, which of course you cannot due to terms of service agreement. Of course your information is available to all other interested parties around the globe, for a price.
The real question might be: How important is all that information if it cannot be updated when you change habits or die?
|Duane Paulson of home
2Gig by Linear, and a former utility-industry exec who developed load
management programs, said: "Utilities are incentivizing the wrong
people. Individuals don't care about saving $5 or $10 per month, but
give those incentives to companies like ADT or AT&T, with their
millions of customers, and the money really adds up." 1
My opinion: The problem with this thinking, is that people don't like big companies forcing them into packages and treating them with indifference, and misleading the public to gain a dollar. The battle lines are drawn, and we the people are behind the barricades and losing badly as our ownership disappears, wages promised as future benefit magically don't exist (stocks), jobs become temporary, the rich-get-richer, and tabloid facts become reasonable alternatives.
|Are z-wave networks secure? Yes
The home or business owner must be in possession of the device and the controller to 'pair' or include each device into network.
If you are in possession of the device and controller, and each device responds only to the unique Home-id of the controller, then nobody else can control your Z-wave network.
Exception: auto-inclusion devices. This feature makes it easy to set up network. For security, this type device can be excluded and then included by the owner.
Exception: large z-wave networks with multiple controllers. While z-wave has limited range, a hand-held controller could disappear, or be operated by unauthorized person.
With subscription Z-wave service, then assume security and privacy are available to others.
Assume Z-wave standard allows manufacturer to record the unique Home-id of your controller. Zwave is constantly evolving, as are methods to profit from your information.
|Will your product become
obsolete? No.
All Z-wave is open source standard, and all devices will continue to interoperate with newer zwave devices.
Changes in technology will give added capabilities to devices, but suggest that most innovations today are within the terms of service pertaining to collection of your information and conversion to monthly subscription and not changes in the device function.
vs wi-fi home automation
Z-wave and wifi are on different radio frequencies and do not interoperate with each other. Zwave standard is 908.4 MHz
Caution: Wifi poses health risk from high radiation levels, but outcomes from radiation generally do not manifest immediately.
Wifi carries large packets of information: for example a movie. Wifi drains batteries very quickly: for example cell phone battery needs to be recharged frequently.
Contrast wi-fi with a TV remote control... the TV remote batteries last many months since the information packets are small, and the device is asleep except when button is pushed. Radiation levels for TV remote control are very low.
Contrast wi-fi and z-wave... Z-wave information packets are small for both battery-operated z-wave devices, and for continually-powered z-wave devices.
For example zwave can be 9700 bits per second. Radiation levels are very small for z-wave.
Choose wi-fi or z-wave? Both systems operate on different wavelength and do not interfere with each other. Both have distance limitations. Both systems can be connected to and controlled by phone or computer. Both systems control electric and electronic devices.
Zwave has advantages. Low radiation. Low amount of information is passed between controller and device, and to possible outside parties.
Zwave is not dependent on a specific brand. Zwave products from any company will interoperate with each other. Zwave devices will not become obsolete in a few years.
Wi-fi is high radiation. Large amounts of information can be passed between controller and device, and possibly to other parties. Broadcast is stronger. Response might be more rapid.
Wi-fi can broadcast security video and record more parameters such as energy usage.
Wi-fi systems are largely brand-specific. And the wi-fi providers usually want to be a partner with your activities.
Your information is worth big money. When wi-fi manufacturers change software or upgrade system or consolidate into one corporation that owns all wi-fi, you might need to replace devices, or upgrade 'package.' Don't forget the software upgrade for your smart TV that includes advertisements and listens to your voice, or the Hi-Def product offered by TV that degraded regular def over several years to differentiate their 'product.' Or Windows 10 upgrade that no longer protects you from spyware... because it is the spyware.
An appliance error code is opportunity to blizzard you with 'ten competitive offers for repair' that come from the same company that operates as ten different companies. Conclusion: zwave home automation offers less long-term chance of interfering with your life than wifi.
|Z-wave Batteries:
This information is for battery-operated devices. The GE contactor does
not use batteries, and is hardwired and fully powered at all times.
How long do z-wave batteries last? As a result of sleeping, battery-operated z-wave remote control, or motion detector, or door-alarm sensor will work for extended time using same batteries. Typical goal is 2-3 year battery life. And 1 year for' frequently listening devices' that awake very briefly once per second.
Battery life calculation: Ordinary AAA battery has 1000mAh (miliamp hours). Z-wave chip consumes .0025 mA during hibernation sleep.; 15-21 mA at wakeup, and 21-36 mA during transmission. If battery-operated z-wave was awake full time, then battery would last 2 days. Math 1000 mAh divided by 21 mA consumption = 47 hours or 2 days. This is why battery-opeated z-wave must sleep except when prompted by push of button, or prompted by parameters set during device configuration.
Chance of running battery down is one reason why battery-operated devices must be configured immediately after inclusion.
GE contactor is hardwired, requires no battery, and requires no device configuration after inclusion is complete, and is awake full time, with 3 watt standby consumption.

In an unusual move, the American Foreign Service Association, which represents more than 16,000 career diplomats, is expected to weigh next week whether to publicly oppose some of President Obama's controversial recent ambassadorial nominations.
AFSA President Bob Silverman, at a news conference Tuesday to discuss the association's new guidelines for selecting ambassadors, said he would ask the 28-member board whether it wanted to take a formal position on three Obama mega-bundler nominees: Colleen Bell (for Hungary), George Tsunis (Norway) and Noah Mamet (Argentina). Bell and Tsunis were approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this month, though Tsunis got through on a party-line vote of 12 to 6.
The nominees came under fire at their committee hearings in recent weeks after displaying a lack of knowledge about the countries to which they had been nominated.
AFSA has not often taken public stands on nominations. The one example cited — Bill Clinton's 1993 nomination of hotelier Larry Lawrence to be ambassador to Switzerland — was approved despite AFSA opposition. (Lawrence, Loop fans may recall, died in Switzerland and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery as a World War II Merchant Marine vet. His body was later disinterred when it was found that he had never served.) And we're told there may have been instances of behind-the-scenes opposition to some nominees as well.
Silverman didn't promise that AFSA would act on any of the nominations at the March 5 board meeting, but he said, "I want to consult with the AFSA board . . . we do have concerns . . . stay tuned." He noted that there may be a feeling that AFSA might not "want to get into the middle of a dogfight" while it's in progress.
Jeh Johnson's confirmation a couple of months ago as head of the Department of Homeland Security may have marked one of the few times that the two top officials in a Cabinet department were minorities.
The first time in the Obama administration was at Commerce in 2009, when Gary Locke, a Chinese American, was head of the agency and Dennis Hightower, an African American, was deputy secretary.
Johnson, who is African American, has joined Cuban American Alejandro Mayorkas, who had already taken over the deputy slot.
Meanwhile, if former Obama White House Cabinet secretary Chris Lu, who is Chinese American, is confirmed as deputy secretary at the Labor Department, he'll be joining Secretary Tom Perez , a Dominican American. So that would be three. (We're hearing a fourth is in the works.)
Staying in bean-counting mode, however, we see that women are not to be found in especially high numbers among deputy secretaries in the 15 statutory Cabinet departments. (As opposed to the "Cabinet-rank" agencies and positions.)
So far, with four vacancies (at Education, Commerce, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development) and one nominee pending (Sarah Bloom Raskin at Treasury), there are only two women serving as deputy secretaries: Heather Higginbottom at the State Department and Krysta Harden at Agriculture.
When your economy is a bit shaky and your military in a bit of a budget squeeze, there's always what Harvard political scientist Joe Nye called "soft power."
Nye was talking about extending U.S. influence around the world not through drones or bribes but through the lure of American culture and values.
Kind of like when the State Department sent jazz legend Dave Brubeck to Poland in 1958 to loosen the commie grip on most everything in the country.
So our ambassador in Singapore, former Miami trial lawyer and Obama mega-bundler Kirk Wagar , is working on his own variant.
"Soft power diplomacy, baby!" he posted on his Facebook page last week, along with a photo of himself in white pants and shirt, microphone in hand, at a Singapore karaoke club. Apparently he's quite good at this.
"Learned something today," he wrote. "Singapore had never seen an Ambassador from the United States do karaoke. I have rectified that situation. I hope it's a good thing . . . "
Well, one can only hope.

I'm involved in the "How PRINCE2 and Agile can play nicely together" presentation that will be given at the next Prince2 and Agile Meeting.
I'm really excited by this. Yes, excited.
I know you think that I'm nuts and yes, you're probably right, but this is one of the issues that faces Agile developers in a government department.
We have to appease the gods of process and control - that's where PRINCE2 comes in. Upper management love the way that they feel like they're in control.
And if we can convince them that Agile is not a dirty word and will work with a governance method like PRINCE2, then we may just be able to bring new concepts into the area.
That way, everyone's happy.
And that can only be a good thing.

Night of the Living Mob
Author: Randall D. Larson
Copyright: 9-1-1 Magazine, Feature Content
Date: 2012-02-22
Originally published in much shorter form in our August, 2008 issue. The issue remains relevant since I wrote this: on July 4,2010 police and firefighters in Alton, Illinois responding to a fireworks complaint were attacked by a crowd of several hundred people who shot large bottle rockets at them; in August 2011, fire crews in Salford and Manchester, England, were attacked by mobs enflamed by riots; on January 9, 2012, Detroit-area firefighters were attacked by a rioting crowd after rescuing two from a house fire. And on it goes.
I was very disturbed to read a news report last May [2008] about a mob in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who attacked a man after he accidentally hit a 3-year old girl with his car, and then the mob turned on responding firefighters when they arrived at the scene to help the girl.
The girl reportedly ran into the street in front of the driver, who was unable to stop in time. When he got out of his car to help her, he bore the brunt of anger from her family. One woman reportedly even set the child down and concentrating on hitting him instead of caring for the injured toddler. The man made the reasonable choice to leave his car running and flee the mob, partly, he later said, to save himself and partly to make sure someone called 9-1-1 for the girl.
This isn't as isolated an example as you might think (or hope). Do a google search for "firefighters attacked by mob" and "paramedics attacked by mob" and you will perhaps be shocked by the many returns you will get back. England, in particular, seems to suffer, with reports from London of fire crews being attacked as often as 40 times a week, assaulted by bricks, bottles, and stones as they try to put out fires.
"In some areas attacking fire crews has become a recreational activity, with very serious consequences," said the fire union's general secretary. The British daily The Guardian reported an incident in which a hoaxer lured Cheshire firefighters to a supposed car fire and, when they arrived, began attacking them with bricks. In May [2008], the UK's The Northern Echo reported one fire brigade officer suffered a broken arm and another was hit over the head with a fence post by a gang of 15 thugs at an incident scene.
Police are perhaps less susceptible to mob violence since they are armed and can usually summon lots of help quick; but they are not entirely immune, and deadly force is not always the correct action to take when countering a mob gone wild. A report from March 2008 told of a deputy in Lake County, Florida, attacked and beaten by a mob while investigating a loud party. A loud party! Interestingly, his radio reportedly got no reception so he had to call dispatch via cell phone to summon help while fighting off his attackers. That's a disturbing fact of another color.
But this incident in Milwaulkee really galls me. I think anyone involved in public safety will be equally horrified. This is an appalling example of mob mentality at its worst, a mother's rage directed at the purveyor of an unfortunate accident, prompting a contagion of violence among the family which quickly grows out of control to the point where the rabble's violence is directed at anyone who comes on the scene, even firefighters and paramedics arriving to help the injured child.
This is public safety's version of the soccer riot. It's a George Romero gathering of the mindless undead swarming across those arriving to do good. A feeding frenzy of unabated violence with no rational meaning and no plausible purpose. The one who really suffers is, again, the injured girl whose wounds lay untended while medical help has to fight off the violence of her family.
I am reminded of thoughts shared with me during my parallel career as a journalist in the field of popular literature. I'd become acquainted with a writer named Robert Bloch, best known as the author of Psycho, the novel that Hitchcock based his famous film on. While a terrific writer of psychological thrillers and science fiction, Bloch was also a consummate observer of mankind whose sociological perception and commentary were voiced in many of his macabre mysteries and speculative short stories. I believe he had it right when he told one interviewer that "people in mass are an enigma. I've never seen anything constructive performed by a mob. People seem to lose their humanity in a herd. The baser drives are laid bare." Had he still been alive, Bloch could have been describing the Milwaukee incident with these comments.
I'm no sociologist, and my perception comes purely from what I've read in the media, which may or may not be telling the whole story. But it seems to me that public safety responders and their communications colleagues have enough to deal with without worrying about being attacked by the citizenry they are sworn to protect. I felt the Milwaukee incident had to be a fairly isolated example until I began looking into other reports, especially in England. Disturbing.
Another guy I got to know back in the 70s was Dr. Fredric Wertham, a renowned psychiatrist who studied human violence and wrote quite a bit about violence and the relation between violence and mass media, although he was better known as the guy whose morality crusade killed EC Comics (again, another story). "Human violence is a disturbance, a perversion of human relation," Wertham told me. "It is always the result of negative factors in the personality and in the social medium in which the personality develops and functions…" Wertham actually felt human violence could be abolished, but I'm not so optimistic, especially after reading some of these recent reports. Violence is at its worst when it's either justified by religious fanaticism or prompted by an outburst of mob viciousness. We in public safety should be prompted to proceed with caution.

Business Week
There's only one Web. At least that's been the standard response in many tech circles to the emergence of the wireless Web. The point? No matter how you get online, be it by PC or smartphone, you'll still do the same things on the Web, using roughly the same sites and services. Really?
David Witkowski missed that memo. Witkowski, an executive at a Silicon Valley startup, behaves very differently when he uses the Web on a PC compared with when he's surfing via cell phone. From the office computer, "I pretty much live on Google," Witkowski says. But from his Research In Motion (RIMM) BlackBerry, the amateur radio enthusiast spends a lot of time searching for gadgets for sale on Craigslist, especially when he travels and on weekends. He also checks local weather forecasts and airline schedules.
Welcome to the weekend Web, where people are spending a bigger slice of time online via wireless devices—and using a different set of sites than during the workweek. "At Google, we see the majority of our desktop traffic [in the U.S.] during weekdays," says Matt Waddell, chief of staff for Google (GOOG) Mobile. "On mobile, the situation is completely reversed." Mobile browsing surged 89% in the past year, with mobile page views increasing by 127%, according to researcher M:Metrics. The increase reflects growing availability of all-you-can eat data plans and increasingly sophisticated handheld devices such as the Apple (AAPL) iPhone.
On Saturday, Classifieds Rule
Of course, most Web surfing still happens via PC, but M:Metrics' research shows that when it occurs by way of mobile, much of it takes place on the weekend. The number of unique visitors to the mobile Web spikes on Saturdays, according to March figures compiled by M:Metrics. The number surged to 4.17 million on Saturdays, an 8% increase from Fridays and 4% more than on the next busiest day, Monday, according to the study, which tracked behavior by 1,861 U.S. smartphone owners.
And like Witkowski, lots of U.S. cell phone users flock to a different set of sites via handheld. Many swarm Craigslist, the local classified ad site. In March, users spent more time on Craigslist than on any other site. "Very few Web sites are inherently local; ours is the exception," says Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster. When it comes to sites visited from a PC, Yahoo! (YHOO) properties hold the No. 1 spot, while Craigslist is way down in ninth place, according to researcher comScore Media Metrix.
Electronic commerce site eBay (EBAY) is No. 2 in time spent on mobile, while it's only No. 8 on the PC Web, according to M:Metrics and comScore. The Weather Channel gets the fourth-highest number of unique visits on the mobile Web, according to Nielsen Mobile, but it's way down the rankings at No. 26 on the PC Web, according to Amazon's (AMZN) Alexa traffic monitoring service. Map provider MapQuest, owned by AOL, is the eighth-most visited mobile site, according to Neilsen, but ranks 35 on the PC Web, according to Alexa.
"Personal Concierge"
During the week, Americans run Google and Yahoo searches at work and compose blogs on MySpace and Facebook. The PC Web's fastest-growing site categories include pharmacies, food, cosmetics, and job search, according to comScore. During weekends, we fire up our smartphones for fun. The fastest-growing mobile-Web categories relate to weather, entertainment, games, and music, according to comScore.
The weekend Web may grab more widespread use in the coming months. Nokia (NOK), Motorola (MOT), and RIM all are due to release new devices equipped with browsers this year, and Apple is expected to introduce an updated iPhone capable of faster download speeds later this year.
Carriers are also striking deals that give users access to specific sites more easily. A service from British carrier 3 lets users log on to eBay via smartphones for free, while other sites still come with related fees. "We are getting signs that more carriers are moving in this direction," says Max Mancini, senior director of Platform & Disruptive Innovation at eBay.
To make mobile Web surfing more convenient, companies like Microsoft (MSFT) are integrating speech capabilities into everything from mobile search to calendaring. "It's almost like having a personal concierge," says Brian Arbogast, corporate vice-president for mobile services at Microsoft.
Capitalizing on Differences
In the future, mobile and PC Web use could diverge even more. EBay is experimenting with using a phone's camera and location capabilities to introduce new ways of shopping. People may be able to take a photo of a product's bar code in a brick-and-mortar store, and look up comparable prices on eBay from their phone. "I look at this as, 'What can we do to extend mobile commerce and what we do currently on eBay?'" Mancini says. Mobile technology was originally viewed as a way to extend the PC Web, he says, but now "there's an opportunity to do things that are unique."
Marketers are already taking note of the differences between consumers' behavior on the mobile Web vs. a PC. According to a recent report by Juniper Research, retailers will send as many as 3 billion mobile coupons to wireless phone users by 2011 (BusinessWeek.com, 5/6/08), resulting in $7 billion in discounts redeemed. Already, advertisers in some regions can use Global Positioning System technology to send coupons and other marketing messages tailored to a cell-phone user's specific location. "We really believe the mobile consumer will make more purchasing [decisions] in the offline environment than on the mobile Web," says Michael Bayle, treasurer for the Mobile Marketing Assn.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt seems to concur. In a recent interview published on F.A.Z. Electronic Media, Schmidt said that "mobile will be a larger business than the PC Web." Google will get plenty of competition from other companies eager to generate sales from wider use of mobile Web access. "I think it's possible for us to become the No. 1 site on mobile," says Jed Stremel, director of mobile at social network Facebook.

No, really. The message I like is that you should do your own research and make your own decisions about what's good for you and what isn't. In a way, they're saying that you shouldn't just parrot what you've heard, but take some time to look into the facts. Don't buy the hype. Know what you're eating.
In the case of corn syrup, my research tells me that I'm happy to avoid it most of the time. Which isn't the message they were trying to send.
It soooo annoys me when people follow the hype about food. Bad enough when it's slightly scientific, but much worse when it's a commercial message they're sheepfully following.
You know anyone who's fallen for the corn syrup commercials? Any other food hype that drives you nuts?

Posted on 07/26/2005 10:12:47 PM PDT by HAL9000
AUSTRALIA has joined the US, China, India and South Korea in a secret regional pact on greenhouse emissions to replace the controversial Kyoto climate protocol.
The alliance, which is yet to be announced, will bring together nations that together account for more than 40 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
To be known as the Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate, the grouping will aim to use the latest technologies to limit emissions and to make sure the technologies are available in the areas and industries that need them most.
The US and Australia have refused to sign the Kyoto protocol -- an international agreement setting greenhouse gas emission targets for developed countries by 2012. China and India are not limited by it because they are considered developing economies.
The US initiative has been discussed between the five nations for five months and is viewed as a practical attempt to rein in greenhouse emissions without harming development or economic growth in the region.
John Howard discussed the greenhouse strategy with US President George W.Bush and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a series of meetings at the White House during Mr Howard's trip to Washington last week.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held meetings with Mr Bush on the same topic on the same day.
The US has been driving the negotiations but Australia has been part of the deal, given its vital interests in coal and gas exports to China and South Korea, as well as negotiations with China on uranium sales for nuclear energy.
While Mr Howard and Mr Bush concede there is a threat from climate change, they have refused to sign the Kyoto protocol and are instead looking at a "post-Kyoto" strategy.
The Howard Government, which believes Kyoto will harm Australia's economy and hurt coal exports, yesterday released a report on greenhouse gas emissions.
The report warned climate change was inevitable and Australia should expect higher temperatures, more droughts, severe cyclones and storm surges in the next 30-50 years.
In Australia, the CSIRO predicts temperatures could rise between 1C and 6C by 2070. Average global temperatures have already risen 0.6C in the past 100 years as a result of accumulated greenhouse gases.
The report identifies Cairns, the Murray Darling Basin and south west West Australia as the three regions most vulnerable to the expected consequences of climate change.
Federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell conceded Australia would have to do more to reduce greenhouse gases but said the Kyoto protocol was not the answer.
"You need a comprehensive agreement that involves all of the major emitters. At the moment we don't have that," he said. "By moving more and more towards renewable (energy), such as solar and wind, and a whole range of technologies that we can develop here in Australia and ultimately export to places like China and India -- building partnerships with these countries is going to be the solution."
In April, The Australian revealed Australia's role in brokering the new-generation greenhouse reduction plan. Discussions at that stage focused on moving away from binding greenhouse gas reduction targets to voluntary emission reductions for industry.
Mr Bush and Mr Howard are convinced modern technology, which can improve efficiency and reduce waste in industry and power generation, is the key to reducing greenhouse emissions.
My brother works for GE at a time lots of american jobs are going overseas. If Carter could bail out Crysler, then why not encourage the gov't to invest in environment friendly products?
I mean, who do you want to do the R&D for this? If the govt pumps a little money into GE, then so will lots of investors (which is why they want to fund embryonic stem cells from govt funding: private investors figure their money will be wasted and don't invest, but if there is govt oversight then there is a better chance of long term profit.)
Remember: FR is a republican site. We don't think making money is a sin...
Some on here do think that making money is bad though!

Iran Designed and Tested Components of Advanced Nuclear Warhead
Iran has secretly designed Nuclear Warhead so advanced that it is still being kept largely a secret in the U.S. and Britain.
What details have been released is that it uses a "two point implosion" and that they have tested components of this design.
This is the first claim that Iran has sought such advanced weaponry, which nuclear experts have called "breathtaking."
The IAEA has sent a dossier to Iran, asking for explanation on this and some other findings that are not known at this time.

There are a lot of people with chromosomal and genetical abnormalities. What about Autism, OSD HDD, ADD, ADHD, Narcolepsy, Epilepsy and borderline behavior disorders not to mention all those kids that have rare cancers and die before they turn 7 and I believe that genetical engineering can help cure those types of diseases.
If it is choosing the sperm and egg that show it can develop the most intelligence, I am in support of that. Though this might eventually come I am agaisnt choosing a babies hair color, eye color, etc.
However this also shows up a great chance to help ourselves.
We can stop genetic diseases, upgrade our immune system to wipe out disease.
The possibilities are nearly endless.
First we need to experiment on animals to make sure we don't hurt babies. We should also keep up the research so we can use gene therapy to change adults. And this should all be made as available to everyone as possible to prevent a giant gap between rich and poor.
"Disease" is socially relative. A world where everyone has an average IQ of what we now would call 200 would consider someone with a 100 IQ (100 IQ from our world's current perspective) mentally challenged. What ever improvements we know how to make and once we know that it will truly improve and not harm then we should start using the improvements.
Some may object that you need someone to be the janitors or fast food workers. Yes, but this way everyone is on an even playing field regarding ability and only effort will determine where you end up in society. Then only willfully lazy people (or people with odd preferences, or maybe you are working at McDonald's as part of a long-term ongoing comparative anthropological study of the working environment you decided to do just for fun because you're so smart) will be working the bad jobs.
Disease, physical deformities, crippling mental conditions... I can see the good this would do. If we could avoid all of those things, there would most likely be less abortions, less children in foster care, and just overall better results. The only con to it would be some scientist might take it too far... But that's hardly enough of a reason for me to say "no" to genetically engineered babies.
We should have genetic engineering in babies because it can help cure a lot of diseases that have to do with genes and chromosomes, such as preventing lung cancer and intellectual disabilities. I believe this is a good idea so that we can revolutionize the world and stop these diseases that are killing thousands each day.
The cons are way greater than the pros, yes it will help in curing and preventing some disorders but if it falls into the wrong hands ( and this always happens) it could be used to genetically modify babies for purposes like wars and other things, moreover, mutated individuals will have advantages over natural people.
Well i am sure that we cant change the course of science and whatever we argue here the scientists wont bother about it until its too late.
Engieneering babies would mean that thousands of people would have no choice in anything. They would be engineered to fit a certain job. In lots of countries, male are worth more than female, so there would be more males than females in the long run and it would be very hard for the human race to reproduce. Genetically engineering babies makes them less than human beings. They are more robot, or machine than human. You would be able to make it so they wouldn't make any mistakes, which isn't human.
Kreakon was right, people would be engineered and we don't really need more people. These people would be discriminated against because they weren't natural. These people wouldn't have any choices left at all. They may also have genetically engineered super intelect, so by "birth" they would have an advantage over everyone else. They may even be treated as second class citizens in some countries.
Of course, in the short run it seems appealing to have a baby made to order in terms of sex, eye color, abilities, etc. However, in the long run this is going to backfire on humanity itself. Those of us who do not live up to some ideal may find ourselves or our loves ones made redundant.
If someone is engineered, the little freedom not decided by genetics is forfeit. An engineered humans life would be determined, their very existence meaninless and surprieses in life nonexistent. It sould also create disparity between peoples. Do you want to be overthrown and cast as a weakling into a category of imperfect humans? Our imperfections should be glorified, they are what make us humans.
Ok, well but the point is we would eventually just engineer people for suitability to a specific purpose and role.
This would likely lead to every child being altered to fit a role & the future planned for them.
Soldiers with enhancements for strength & aggression, etc.
Scientists altered for intellect but ugly to keep there popularity down....Just kidding : p ?
I do know we could cure many diseases, but a lot of people could let the power of being able to alter these babies in what ever way go to their head, and there could be some dangers in the DNA that makes a situation worse. It is not humane to make a precious child something that is potentially unnatural, and maybe even harmful.

Boguszów-Gorce is situated at an elevation of 536592 m about 7 km west of the county seat Wałbrzych (Waldenburg).
The place began to develop in the 13th century as a mining settlement. In 1499 the place obtained the status of a 'free mining town'. Miners, who came mostly from Saxony, had named the town Gottesberg ('God's mountain'), which is mentioned in a document of 1535. Mining for silver continued, with interruptions, until 1864. Gottesberg was at first renamed Boża Góra when Lower Silesia became part of Poland after World War II. The name was later changed to Boguszów. The municipality of Boguszów-Gorce was created in 1973 out of Boguszów, Gorce (Rothenbach) and Kuźnice Świdnickie (Kuźnica Górska, Fellhammer).
The town hall [left, no. 1746: background] on the market square dates from 1731.

Bob Nightengale (USA Today) has the deal for one year at OVER $10 million.
Bob Nightengale (USA Today) has the deal for one year at OVER $10 million.
I would be willing to bet that maybe a couple million is deferred!
With Marshall and now Madson, if the reds have the lead going into the 8th inning....ballgame!
BOOM goes the dynamite!!!!
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
1 year deal... I'd be willing to bet an open closer role is going to be a big incentive for Marshall to extend. Good use of our resources for this season, and it'll pay off if we start bringing the crowd back in.
No Prince, 50 without Braun, No Pujols, No LaRussa and no Duncan. The Reds have one of the best offense in baseball returning and added Latos, Marshall and Madson. I don't see how we're not NL Central favorites and huge contenders for the pennant. This is the most excited I've been for a Reds season in my lifetime. It's going to be a loooooong winter. I wish I could freeze myself and wake up during Spring training.
This is exciting! Wow!
I have to ask this, and please understand I'm not a Dusty-hater. But I think this sends a pretty clear message that Dusty's boys have to put up this year as he goes into a contract year. It will be VERY interesting to see what happens with Dusty's contract status at the end of 2012. With this roster in this division, how can he NOT win? The question is, how far does his team have to go for him to get a new contract for 2013 and beyond. Just how high is the bar set for the 2012 expectations?
I'm pumped, tough. This will be fun!!!

This also means they are committed to Chapman as a starter.
Just imagine if any of the following come true:
1. Rolen has a nice ~.780-.800 OPS bounce-back year
2. Bruce takes a step forward
3. Arroyo has a 2012 more like 2010 than 2011
4. Mesaroco has a + .800 OPS first year
5. Chapman becomes the SP we hoped for in 2010
They have a solid pitching core, a solid lineup, and many legit possibilities for individuals to improve in 2012.
2012 should be a good year.
Sounds like $8.5 mil from most sources. Hope thats true.. can shovel some of that leftover towards LF
This is the year.
This is awesome. Mat Latos to start. Ryan Madsen to close. What an offseason. Go Reds.
What if this is as good as it gets?
No more Coco!
With this deal, if Chappy becomes a solid starter, we become "World Serious!"
I'm Busting. Jerry I'm Busting! It was just a couple of seasons back I started following baseball and the Reds. Now this offseason, I've never felt more happy about a team since...since....
Now I actually thought they'd sign Cordero (phew) but with a sandwich pick in-between. Thank you and goodbye!
Good for you, bad for STL. $8.5MIL was a little more than I was thinking he'd get but the Reds bullpen just got REAL GOOD! Looks like a CIN - STL 2 horse race this year, this ought to be fun!

James Cameron calls on Australian Ray Quint for Deepsea Challenge 3D
For a little-known Australian director, the chance to work with legendary Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron came in a phone call out of the blue.
For a little-known Australian director, the chance to work with legendary Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron came in a phone call out of the blue.
"I kind of took a deep breath and went, 'You mean it's that James Cameron?'," Ray Quint says.
The project was the documentary Deepsea Challenge 3D, which follows the director of Titanic and Avatar as he dived in a small submersible to the deepest trench in the world's oceans in 2012. Quint joined the film following the tragic death of Australian director Andrew Wight.
Shortly after Cameron's team built the submersible in Sydney's Leichhardt amid tight secrecy, Wight and American cinematographer Mike deGruy were killed in a helicopter crash while preparing to film a trial dive at Jervis Bay. The visual effects supervisor on Avatar, John Bruno, took over as director during the expedition, with Quint taking over in post-production.
Best known for the 2007 waterfront dispute mini-series Bastard Boys, he spent a year shaping more than 1000 hours of expedition footage and filming new elements to give the documentary a stronger storyline.
"I shot re-creations with Jim, historical segments, interviews with Jim and pulled together the archival [material]," he says. "But all the time I was trying to work out what kind of film should this be. I thought if we just showed the dives, it wasn't going to be that interesting. So I wanted to bring a thematic element to it: the idea of childhood curiosity and encouraging that."
Quint says he had heard many stories about how forthright Cameron could be but found him respectful of his role as director.
"He has robust opinions – and we had some very good and robust discussions – but he's also someone that doesn't want you to pee in his pocket. He actually wants your opinion about why you want to do things."
Having worked so closely with him, Quint believes Cameron is driven by a childlike curiosity.
"I think you see that in the movie; you see him as a curious young kid and then you see him as a curious adult. Some of his reactions when he's on these dives are almost childlike responses – and I mean that in a positive way because they're about curiosity and awe and wonder. I think you see that in his movie-making as well."
So did Cameron ever overrule him?
Quint says there was one debate about showing the Hollywood director's children inspecting the submersible. While there were security concerns about them appearing on screen, Quint argued that it was an important to reinforce the idea of Cameron passing on his curiosity to his children.
"I was worried that he was going to want to take that out," he says. "Then I was in Los Angeles with him and he said, 'I've thought about that sequence, we'll keep it in the film'."
Quint is now developing two films of his own – "one set on and around Sydney Harbour and a psychological thriller".
