You should check out the post at the official TSA blog about "BDOs." The writer boasts about how his team was able to use its incredible emotion-reading techniques to spot "an undercover 'passenger" involved in covert testing."

That's awesome. They were able to spot a coworker in a bad wig with an unassembled weapon in a bag. They would have had the same "success" rate if they stuck the bag through the x-ray scanner. I like the comment dubbing this program "Thousands Standing Around." Thanks for the link!

Oui! No wonder you're free!
Now I know why this was a free gift. I'm pretty sure no one would actually spend almost $20 for such a weak toy. The only person that I can see buying this, is someone who has never used a sex toy. If you want to give someone a cheap gift then look at the High Intensity Bullet. That is cheaper than this and is way stronger. It's actually one of my favorite toys.Published:

text: Why High-Level Destiny Players Are All Shooting At The Same CaveKirk Hamilton9/20/14 6:00pmFiled to: destinytipskotakucore45433EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Go to the Russian countryside in Destiny. Head left past the plane graveyard, through the building where you first encountered the moon-wizard, and out the back. Hear that gunfire? A handful of high-level players are probably standing there, shooting at a cave. They're shooting at the cave because if you do that for even a little while, the cave winds up looking like this: Yes, this is the latest technique for farming in Destiny, and it's by far the most effective I've found. Spend an hour or so at the Murder Cave and you'll get so many engrams that you'll almost surely get SOMEthing you want. You don't even have to shoot a single enemy—loot spawns if you're in the vicinity, so your neighbors' kills still give you loot. Advertisement Advertisement If you're lower level, you'll generate XP very quickly, even if your loot drops aren't that exciting. Valleywag's Sam Biddle hung around the cave with me and Jason last night and went from level 16 to level 18 mostly by sitting around, cracking jokes, and occasionally shooting things.The technique, as shared in this video by Force Strategy Gaming (thanks BlitzKaiser!), has become so widespread that I've yet to go to this area of the Cosmodrome and not find at least one or two 24s or 27s sitting out there shooting.The rules are simple, and agreed upon: Everyone stands behind the rock slab (get closer and the thralls stop spawning), everyone is sure to kill all of the hive thralls and acolytes before they get too far (if they escape, the constant spawning stops), and everyone takes periodic breaks to run into the cave and gather loot/ammo. It's kind of beautiful, really. Sponsored If you're down in Russia this weekend, it's worth swinging by just to see everyone working together so effectively. Might as well stick around to get some loot, too.Reply454 repliesLeave a reply

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Surgery to address the most serious form of the spinal cord birth defect known as spina bifida may be most effective if performed on the fetus, new -- and potentially groundbreaking -- research suggests.
When successful, the surgery could mean the difference between a life spent on crutches or not, experts say, since twice as many spina bifida-affected children ended up walking on their own after the fetal surgery versus those who were operated on after birth.
But the delicate prenatal procedure also comes with hazards, including much higher odds for premature delivery and its attendant problems for newborns.
"While this is a very promising and quite exciting result for this disease, which is otherwise a very neglected disease, not all the patients were helped here, and there are significant risks," study senior author Dr. Diana Farmer, division chief of pediatric surgery at the University of California San Francisco, as well as surgeon-in-chief at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, said at a news conference held Wednesday. "So this procedure is not for everyone," she cautioned.
Nevertheless, Farmer added that "it would be responsible to inform families that this [prenatal approach] would represent an additional option in care that they can consider."
Surgery for this "myelomeningocele" form of spina bifida is designed to close up an abnormal opening at the back of the baby's spine. The opening results in spinal cord protrusion, which can alter the movement of spinal fluid and wrench the brain stem down into the skull's base, a development known as "hindbrain herniation."
Surgery to correct the condition has traditionally been performed after birth.
However, the new report, published online Feb. 9 in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggests that delicate surgery performed in utero actually reduces the subsequent post-delivery need for "shunting," or diverting, of fluid away from the child's brain.
The myelomeningocele form of spina bifida occurs in 3.4 of every 10,000 births, according to background information in the study. The literal translation of spina bifida is "split spine," Dr. Alan E. Guttmacher, director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, said at the press conference. He noted that this "neural tube" defect -- which occurs early in embryonic development -- typically gives rise to significantly impaired infant motor function. Bladder and bowel control are also compromised, and in its most severe form the defect prompts serious weakness and/or full paralysis below the spinal cord opening.
Hindered spinal fluid circulation can ultimately be life-threatening, the researchers noted, and 10 percent of infants with the myelomeningocele form of spina bifida die.
To explore a potentially better way to treat the defect, the team worked with 183 expectant mothers, all of whom were carrying children affected by the defect and hindbrain herniation.
The women were divided into two groups: one set to undergo a one- to two-hour prenatal surgery between 19 and almost 26 weeks of gestation, and one to undergo a similar post-delivery surgery.
All of the offspring were then examined at 1 year of age, and then again at 2.5 years of age.
Farmer noted that by year one, two infant deaths had occurred in each of the two groups.
Nevertheless, the research team observed that the combined risk for either death or a need for a shunt to divert brain fluid by 1 year of age was much lower among infants who had undergone the in-utero surgery (almost 68 percent), compared with those in the post-delivery group (about 98 percent).
Children in the prenatal surgery group also fared 21 percent better on scores assessing mental development and motor function by the 2.5-year mark, compared with the post-delivery surgery group.
And while only around 21 percent of children in the post-delivery surgery group were ultimately able to walk without orthotics or crutches, that figure rose to nearly 42 percent among those in the prenatal surgery group.
Speaking at the press briefing, Dr. Catherine Y. Spong, chief of the NICHD's pregnancy and perinatology branch, described one other "remarkable finding": By 1 year of age, more than one-third of the children in the prenatal surgery group showed no signs of hindbrain herniation, compared to just a little more than 4 percent of those in the group who underwent surgery after delivery.
But there were hazards, as well -- children who underwent the prenatal procedure were more likely to be born preterm, at an average of 34.1 weeks, compared with 37.3 weeks among the post-delivery group.
"Prematurity is a significant risk," noted Farmer, who added that such a development can prompt the onset of dangerous respiratory distress syndrome. In fact, nearly 21 percent of the prenatal group had signs of this breathing disorder, compared with only about 6 percent in the post-birth surgery group.
In addition, mothers in the prenatal group faced a higher risk for uteral thinning, with one-third experiencing thinning at delivery.
"Even though the children who underwent the surgery in uterus did much better overall, these risks both to the fetus and the mother cannot be ignored," said Farmer.
The research team also cautioned that not all women are ideal candidates for the surgery. Specifically, those determined to be severely obese (with a body mass index over 35) were not included in the study -- a criteria that the authors suggested could exclude about 10 to 13 percent of women. Down the road, this obstacle could prove problematic, since maternal obesity is a known risk factor for spina bifida in offspring.
The study also involved researchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville and the George Washington University Biostatistics Center in Washington, D.C.

I was happily walking down a London street, before I noticed that I was singing "Sun shinin', weather is sweet".
"This is odd", methunk. "Why the Marley?" Then, I noticed that I was standing outside the High Commission of Jamaica.
It's amazing what we see, without seeing.
The weather was sweet, however.

P.s. Uberkudos to Lei for snapping this delicious image of the Radcam, in which the weather is likewise sweet, and the sun is seemly shining.
The sandstone feeling is similar to the London institution, reminding me of my perambulations in the capital (which are a rarity, given that I'm a provincial type). - 25 July 2012 at 10:11

I wonder what Marley was thinking about this place? Not so good I guess. In "Kinkky reggae", one of my favorites, rather he wanted to "hit and run" from London:) But in a truth not becuse of "imperialism" but "brown suger all over one's booga wooga":)

The hubby and I agree that we want to save a majority of the money we'll make on the sale of the townhouse. We're taking a small percentage to put the house together before November. That's prior to the holidays, our son's birthday and super cold weather.
My first challenge: the L-shaped living / dining room. This is what I'm working with:
So once again I'm faced with the the challenge of warming up the space with accessories. Throw pillows, carpet (I'm replacing the one under the dining table), lamps, etc will have to do the trick.
However, too much crap would clutter the place quickly. So I have to be thougthful in my selections. Tomorrow I'll post a list of accessories I think may work in the room.

Why Hendersonville, NC, USA:
I am passionate about living in these awesome Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina and adore sharing my vacation rental homes with guests who come to experience our area's mountains & towns. I take exquisite care of my properties and am available anytime to see to your needs. I make sure each home is exceptionally clean, meticulously well-maintained and the hot tub sparkling with fresh water.

Asheville is consistently in the "Top 10 Places To Live" according to almost any criterion published! It's a diverse multi-cultural blend of mountain folk and cosmopolitan society set in a dramatically beautiful mountain setting.

The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
With all the special touches, I promise you that my vacation rental homes will feel as though you are staying at a friend's warm inviting home rather than a 'vacation rental house.' You'll appreciate the tasteful decor and thoughtful care my homes reflect. Each home has been lovingly remodeled, elegantly furnished, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully accessorized with special amenities to pamper you including massage chairs, hot tubs, high speed wireless Internet, king beds with sumptuous bedding, HDTV's & DVD's, movie libraries, quality well-equipped kitchens, fireplaces, central heat & air conditioning, washers & dryers and much more!

Kids of all ages love to roast marshmallow at the firepits.
My homes are easily accessed, right in-town, close to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. No winding mountain roads to get lost in or long drives to town. The homes are in peaceful, lush vacation spots where you can relax and feel at home.

text: 1 Answer What can you do to comfort a child who is missing a parent who is away? Megan Williams No matter what you say, what you tell them, what you want them to feel, your child will learn the most about dealing with separation by WATCHING you. I think it is so important to teach a child that it is OKAY to be sad when their other parent is away (usually deployed in our case) but to also show them how much they are loved and missed as well. The nights when my oldest (then two) had the hardest times when my husband was deployed I handed him his Daddy Doll and talked to him about him. I would ask if he missed him, if he was sad. I let him know that I was sad too but that Daddy loved us both so very much and missed us just as much as we missed him. We would listen to the book that C recorded before he left together. I think it is so important to stay WITH them, to let them know you share that emotion. When they are so small it is so very hard for them to understand what they are feeling - anger, sadness, confusion. They don't know how to verbalize it. Just asking my little one about certain feelings in the way his two year old mind understood such things calmed him down tremendously - when he could say it and understand it. Our children watch us - especially when our better half is away. They learn how to cope by watching how we cope. It is okay to let them see us sad - but to ONLY see us sad will teach them that we can't move forward, that we do not live in the every day. We have to teach our children to find JOY while our service member is not with us. Life does not stop - their childhood will not be paused. We must let them share their feelings, must help them to cope with the sadness and we must, we MUST show them how to find the joy as well. View All Answers

Shawl Pattern Picked!
I'll be ordering the yarn this week, or getting it from my LYS. I don't have a lot of luck there. I think the owner and I have different tastes, though I have scored Noro Silver Garden there, and she has many, many colors of wool. She doesn't have much cotton, and I think I'll surprise her that I want fingering weight yarn. I'd love to try Alpaca and silk, but we'll see. I want to get started, you know? So if she doesn't have it, I may not be able to wait for the snail mail, and will substitute something else. It helps that my husband is excited about this shawl, too, so any yarn purchases are going to pass by the household budget without a backward glance. Isn't it nice to be so supported in your craft? And the mother-in-law's quilt may never get done. I feel bad about that late at night, when I stop and think about it. During the day, though, it's full speed ahead on the knitting.

What on earth did you do to get your husband excited about a shawl? I mean, it's very pretty, and I think it's a great choice of pattern, but unless you promised to model it naked for him.... Oh. I think I just answered my own question. :-)
- Jennifer said...
Yay for shawls! I'm so in for the KAL. I've got everything set up for the Swallowtail!
- Liz said...
Gosh...I'd love to knit a shawl...I do have a few things in the queue, but I might be up for it. I'd have to find one that I thought I could do along with some of my other projects...maybe a little simpler than the one you've chosen (which I love, btw)?
- Brigitte said...
This might just be the motivation I need to finish up Kiri!
Great choice! - 5:02 AM
- del said...
Wow, I wish my DH felt that way! That's cool. And the shawl you picked is gorgeous!
- Helen said...
I've been having quiet Dragone dreams myself. I love the shawl! love it.. but somehow it doesn't look as fun as it ought to {girn}.
I've already got two in the works that require designing efforts on my part (one is a modification of another design, and the other I've agreed to design for a friend), but when you start Dragone... I am almost sure to join any KAL for that one. The temptation will be too great! - 8:36 AM
- AR said...
Very pretty! I might think about joining you, or finding another shawl like it. I've been craving some lace.
What time we knitting Wednesday? - 10:46 AM
- Romi said...
That's a very very pretty shawl. I love lace knitting in summer! :)
- Tala said...
Well....we all saw how well I did with the springy washcloth contest. I mean, there was free yarn involved, and I flaked! That being said, I am dying to knit either this shawl or Elann's Luna Moth shawl. Wolves in moonlight and luna moths - love!
- Erin said...
I would do it with you! I was supposed to take a lace knitting class that got cancelled, so I bought the Victorian Lace Today book instead. I just have to pick out what to make.
But I'm not making any promises about how fast I'll go, because I have lots of other things I'm working on too! - 1:06 PM
- Carrie K said...
That's quite a feat, getting the DH to greenlight shawl yarn! Both those shawls are gorgeous - your "warm up" looks pretty dang hot! I love that Dragone pattern.
I'll be KAL with you all in spirit - I still have to finish my Moll Shawl. It's only....a year old. - 4:52 PM
I'm in! You've just helped kickstart me. I think I'll try Wendy's design. Your pick is beautiful!
- Carol said...
Man am I behind on my reading! I love your choices for the shawls. they're both gonna be a knockout! Support is almost half what get's things done;) Have fun!
- Trish - My Merino Mantra said...
The Moonlight Sonata is a great choice in a shawl. Did you know about the Elann Shawl KAL? Lots of experts, there, if you need any help, or, just want to look at the pictures.

Downtown Residents Council - Cincinnati, OH
Pies and Pints at the Radius
Mark your calendars for a social at Pies & Pints @ the Banks on Tuesday, March 28 from 5- 7 PM.
Happy hour pricing is available from 3-6 which includes $1 off draft beer and house wines and $2 off all starters. They have agreed t...
Tower Room, Public Library
Join your neighbors to find out about all that is going on in your community and socialize after with members of the community. After the meeting join your downtown neighbors for some food, drinks and conversation.
Help Stop Panhandling. Cincinnati has a very detailed law controlling panhandling. See how it protects you. Additionally, here is a helpful brochure on how you, your neighbors and your colleagues can make change without providing spare change.
Secure Your Vehicle. Learn more about how you can better secure your vehicle with this downloadable brochure from the Cincinnati Police Department.
Membership has its benefits! A growing number of downtown merchants offer discounts to DRC memberts. See our current list. Why not join today?
We encourage you to join us at our monthly meetings - 6 pm the second Tuesday in the Tower Room of the Public Library. Minutes for our last twelve meetings are available here.
Your generosity last year provided a wonderful Holiday experience for a downtown family and we are so very thankful for your caring hearts and wallets. This season, we are expanding our giving reach, particularly with children in our community and have chosen 3 families as recipients of your bountiful gifts. Let me introduce them to you.
Jimica is a single Mom who works a job 6 days a week and struggles to provide any extras for her 4 children, ages 8 months to 12 years old. Chyrae and Nikia are sisters, both single parents, and have 10 children between them, ages 5-16.
We have a lofty goal of a gift for each child and with your help, we will be successful. Ginnie Schlosser is in the process of creating a gift list, and have been humbled as the Moms have items such as underwear, hats and other basics on their lists.
For those of you who wish to purchase a gift, please contact Ginny for some specific ideas. Last year, many of you offered a cash donation which allowed the parent to shop with us and enjoy that experience also. Cash donations can be provided by writing a check to the DRC and mailing to her (345 E 7th St. #1210 Cincinnati, OH 45202). She will also have a box at registration during our Holiday party on Tuesday, December 13th.
Downtown Cincinnati is now home to over 6,000 residents, with more arriving every month as new condos and apartment homes are completed. The Downtown Residents Council works to develop a community atmosphere, conducts projects to improve the quality of life, and voices concerns of residents at City Hall.
We work closely with the Police Department on safety issues and Downtown Cincinnati Inc. and 3CDC on development and promotion efforts.
Help Us Stop Graffiti! Call it in! If you see graffiti on a building, sidewalk, rack, etc. please help us get rid of it ASAP. The longer graffiti stays up, the greater the invitation for more. Please contact DCI Ambassador Director Dave Thomas when you see graffiti. Dave will dispatch a team to photograph it, report it to the police and remove it. Dave's number is 513-383-5075.
Ambassador Hotline. To contact a DCI Safe and Clean Ambassador, call their hotline at: 513-623-3429. In an emergency, always call 911.

Project: Learn how to draw good
In an effort to work a little bit on drawing less flat, graphic stuff, I was copying poses from the 1920 Jekyll and Hyde with John Barrymore.
I'm trying to get more of a range of expression into my Jekyll design. :|

I said no! please don't exist
At this time I would like to call out the school printer on its scheming schemes to make the colors on my storyboards look atrocious. They are. Not to say they look brilliant on the computer screen, but when printed out they look like they were painted using only primary blue and maybe some bright magenta. :(
I don't think I've ever posted boards here before! Well I finally got to posting them on my portfolio site:
So here they are :O
I went to the CTN Expo today! Conventions tire me out so much. 8| I'm not really built to be in big crowds each day, and I'm terrible at approaching people at booths at all, much less to shove portfolios rudely in their faces. If Reyna hadn't been there to shout down a retreating story artist, no way would I have talked to anyone at all. XD Although even without trotting around the showroom I got to swap portfolios with a lot of my classmates. :3 Having a bunch of Calarts people there made the atmosphere less scary for me....
But I did manage to get my confidence up enough to show my portfolio around! I got some good critique and surprisingly I felt my design portfolio got more critique than my story portfolio ffffffftwhut? D:
I'm gonna go ahead and attribute the lack of soul-searing criticism on my boards to beginner's luck. :| Granted, the only consistent critique I got for design was, "well, for our studio you'll want to have more characters with volume and less flat, graphic ones". I was like "ffffffffff I was TRYING for the past few months to work on that" and then I remembered that my largest design project for the summer was my Japanese sumi-e designs, which is like the flattest thing I've ever drawn, and I was like "oh".
The dumb thing is I don't think of my style as a terribly flat/graphic style. D: But I dunno, we had a great design lecture on Wednesday that focused on character design with an emphasis on strong draftsmanship so I dunno MAYBE I can work on improving that next.
Because hell knows my attempts to draw Icarus show off my shortcomings in draftsmanship. :|

Frankenstein's knitting club
Sunday, November 15, 2009
Over the summer I had a brief sprint of designing a whole lot of birds, and I ran into a sort of wall where I just couldn't think up any more shapes--not that the ones I designed were so outstanding in shapes that they used up all the possibilities.....
But anyway, I was not terribly happy to get assigned birds for class, but I'm relatively satisfied with how these turned out. I'm not sure if I've improved much since the summer--I'm still having hella problems drawing owls. I don't know what it is with them. They come out looking all stiff when I try to draw them.

Knit knit knit
Somebody visiting this blog must think I only draw in black and white doodles, making sketches primarily of a certain scraggly old guy, again and again.
This is not true.
I have actually been working on some drawings such as this:
but today
because it is Thursday
and life drawing is Thursday
and that zaps energy
I drew a certain scraggly old guy

He believes in a beauty
Quick Dionysus character design (as a girl). Dionysus is a girl because our model for figure drawing this week was a girl and I was being lazy. *cough*
Bjork's song "Venus as a Boy" is like my favorite song right now and I DON'T KNOW WHY. Maybe it's because I'm sick, but the odd mixing of Greek/Roman stuff and Indian sounding music is pretty right now.

2012 Doomsayers Being Watched
On Dec. 31, the Gregorian calendar did something terrifying. It flipped from the year "2011" to "2012."
What did we experience as the year came to an end? Global earthquakes? A planetary collision? Weird gravitational effects caused by an alignment with the galactic plane? A comet impact? Global enlightenment?
As much as I'd love the latter to be true, the New Year celebrations most likely just involved a ton of alcohol and fireworks. It's the start of a brand-new year for our calendar. Nothing more, nothing less.
But it is the beginning of a much hyped year. Rather than being the year of the U.S. presidential election or the London Olympics, 2012 has been hijacked by a small group of strange people who seem hell-bent on insisting that, by the end of the year, some kind of apocalyptic scenario will play out.
According to them, on or around Dec. 21, 2012, the world will "come to an end." Well, to quote Penn & Teller, that's "Bullsh*t!"
In case you've been living under a rock since 2009, you may have noticed an upsurge in the "2012 doomsday" nonsense — 2009 was the year of a bad John Cusack disaster movie involving killer solar neutrinos and a crazed Woody Harrelson. It was also the year that doomsday went mainstream. In the run-up to the release of 2012, a Sony Pictures viral marketing campaign caused as much confusion as it did panic.
The upshot was that millions of people who wouldn't normally give a damn about doomsday "predictions" by ancient civilizations, suddenly did. 2012 ended up being a massive lucrative success for director Roland Emmerich — despite the fact that to sell tickets, the movie had to sell out science.
Science fiction movies are just that, fiction. So one can't be overly critical of any sci-fi story line, but I was savagely critical of the movie's marketing campaign.
Through the combination of a website (the fabricated "Institute of Human Continuity"), social media, viral marketing and a multimillion-dollar mass TV advertising campaign, the Maya civilization became popularized prophets of doom.
The Mayans lived in Central America (in the geographical locations of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras) between A.d. 250 and 900. It just so happens that archaeologists discovered that one of their (many) calendars — the "Long Count" — will end its 13th "Baktun" on Dec. 21, 2012. For more on this, read the Discovery News article "2012 Doomsday Is a 'Marketing Fallacy.'"
This is nothing more than a numerical coincidence, and apart from the end of their calendar likely being a spiritual event, there's no evidence to suggest the Mayans believed the end of their Long Count calendar would spell doomsday.
Unfortunately, the facts matter little to doomsayers who are trying to sell a book. In their strange little doom-filled universe, all they need is to spark fear in the minds of a very small percentage of the population and they can promote their ideas on the weird and wonderful ways in which the world is going to end in 2012.
The best thing is that history is ambiguous enough that they can link together the Mayan "predictions" with other ancient texts (most notably the Chinese I Ching and Sumerian cuneiform scriptures) and conclude that civilizations living hundreds, or thousands, of years ago had some divine knowledge of doom in 2012.
Ever since I started writing on this bizarre topic for Universe Today in May 2008, I have received countless emails from people genuinely worried about the end of the world — as have many other scientists. (Have a read of the article that started it all: "No Doomsday in 2012," Universe Today, May 19, 2008.) Often, they will quote some "doomsday expert" and passages from pseudo-scientific books. Evidently the "fear factor" is working. Whether or not the published doomsayers are making a ton of money from their books is open to debate,, but they populate the shelves at Barnes & Noble, regardless.
Here at Discovery News and other genuine science news websites, the whole "2012 business" is easy to debunk. There is zero scientific evidence to suggest any 2012 doomsday scenario will happen. No one has ever predicted the future, and that isn't about to change.
2012 will have its fair share of disasters, wars and turmoil, but none will have been predicted by a crazed doomsayer or prophesized by an ancient civilization.
In fact, to many of our readers, 2012 has become the subject of boredom and ridicule. I've received a number of messages asking why we insist on debunking theories of doom … and something about "beating a dead horse."
And yet, only today, I noticed a friend on Facebook posting a message saying: Enjoy every day of 2012 like it's your last, we only have 12 months left. Sadly, she wasn't joking.
To some who believe the idiotic theories of doom, the end of the world is inevitable. Others are using this end date to justify their beliefs in astrology and conspiracy. Some are using 2012 as a soapbox for their personal ideas of global carnage. Pop stars are even singing about it.
It's becoming less about the science of debunking and more about the science of psychology. For some reason, some people are hopelessly addicted to ideas of doom, and there's little we can do to change their minds.
Discovery News will continue its campaign of watching for 2012 doomsday theories that abuse science to manipulate people into thinking the end of the world is just around the corner. Although the majority of our readership is savvy enough to spot a con man, I am still receiving emails of concern from people who are worried about the garbage doomsayers are promoting.
In short, doomsayers, you've been put on notice. For every book you sell, you needlessly frighten people who would have otherwise lived their lives without the worry of thinking their families were at risk from some fantasy. It is up to scientists and the science media to react, debunking your false claims. This year, we will be watching you closer than ever. Source: Discovery News

2006 Lamborghini Murcielago

2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Review
The most extreme and fastest car in its class.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago is a two-seat, two-door sports car manufactured by Italian automobile company Lamborghini. The first generation of the Lamborghini Murcielago succeeded the Diablo in 2001. Since then, the Lamborghini Murcielago has stayed the flagship model of the company's lineup. The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engine sports car with an exceptionally low-slung body and an angular design. The highest point of the Murcielago roof stands just four feet above the ground. The Murcielago's distinguishing features include its scissor doors that give it an edgy look.
The Range
Engines: 6.2 liter V-12
Transmissions: six-speed manual
Models: Lamborghini Murcielago Base, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
What's New
The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago has largely remained unchanged. The few additions to the 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago include a new braking system with a carbon-ceramic disc available as an option. The new braking system provides many benefits, such as shorter stopping distances, longer service intervals, and increased resistance to fade. The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago also offers new options, such as the Branding package and the Carbon package. The Carbon package features carbon-fiber components for gear-shift covers, a dash cover, an audio system, air-conditioning covers, a handbrake lever, and the armrest frame. The Branding package includes a colored Lamborghini logo on the wheels and a logo on the headrests.
The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago remains true to the Lamborghini principles of sport, function, and purism. The new rear and front bumpers intensify the aggressive look of the Murcielago. The rear light of the 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago works to enhance the distinguishing features of the car even at night. The design of the sides of the 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago warrants attention. On the right side, the area behind the air intake is closed, and on the left, a vast aperture has been added to cool the oil radiator. The windscreen wipers and rearview mirror design have been modified to enhance the aerodynamic characteristic of the frame.
The interior of the 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago uses abundant leather and soft-touch materials. The cockpit of the Murcielago offers comfortable seating and ample space. An AM/FM, in-dash single-CD stereo player comes standard on all trim levels. The Murcielago interior design provides a good example of intelligent use of space. The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago features a new instrument panel with a new graphic design created with the intelligent use of lights. The seats of the Murcielago have undergone significant changes, which make them more comfortable and visually appealing.
Performance & Handling
A powerful 6.2-liter V-12 engine generating 580 horsepower sits in the engine bay of the 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the V-12 engine generates 479 lb-ft of torque that enables the Murcielago to go from zero to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago reaches a top speed of 205 mph. The new springs, stabilizers, and electronically controlled damper enhance the stability, handling, and driving capabilities of the car at high speeds. An advanced navigation system is optional in all trim levels.
This supercar has an extensive list of safety features. It comes equipped with an advanced and sophisticated traction control system that keeps it on the track even at top speeds. Huge ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock control help bring a speeding Murcielago to a stop in a shorter distance. Other safety and security features include front seat belt pre-tensioners, self-leveling headlights, two front headrests, and an emergency interior trunk release.

There was, in her cupboard, a Golden Cap, with a circle of diamonds and rubies running round it. This Golden Cap had a charm. Whoever owned it could call three times upon the Winged Monkeys, who would obey any order they were given. But no person could command these strange creatures more than three times. Twice already the Wicked Witch had used the charm of the Cap. Once was when she had made the Winkies her slaves, and set herself to rule over their country. The Winged Monkeys had helped her do this. The second time was when she had fought against the Great Oz himself, and driven him out of the land of the West. The Winged Monkeys had also helped her in doing this. Only once more could she use this Golden Cap, for which reason she did not like to do so until all her other powers were exhausted. But now that her fierce wolves and her wild crows and her stinging bees were gone, and her slaves had been scared away by the Cowardly Lion, she saw there was only one way left to destroy Dorothy and her friends.

This is already a fairly old article, but I'm pretty confident it never made OSNews' front page. In this article, the author proves that Windows XP can be installed, and 'run', on processors with as little as 8MHz. "The target of this project was to find the weakest system where you can run Windows XP. Keep in mind, that Microsoft official requirements are a CPU with 233 MHz an 64 MB of RAM. But that had to be beaten!"

Response to SlackerJack:
Windows XP has a kernel as well. You install the server edition and you can simply telnet or ssh into it to do your job.
A kernel in itself is not useful without the other utilities. Linux is useful because of bash shell and other GNU utils.
And for your information, the guy was able to launch full explorer, let aside simple command line apps like ssh etc.
Sometime try to increase your knowledge before giving such baseless statements, just because you have a bias for linux.

Nicotinic receptors in relation to nicotine addiction - Target article on nicotine-addiction

The first step in processing nicotine's effects on the brain is the drug's interaction with neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChR). The diversity of nAChR subtypes, their various modes of response (activation, desensitisation, prolonged inactivation), and the complex pharmacokinetics of nicotine delivery conspire to make this a complex issue that is difficult to unravel. The alpha4beta2 nAChR subtype has the highest affinity for nicotine and is the primary candidate for mediating nicotine's central effects. Chronic nicotine exposure (in both humans, animals and cell culture systems) leads to an increase in numbers of alpha4beta2 nAChR (upregulation), with functional implications for withdrawal. However, there is little evidence presently that nAChR upregulation is pertinent to the induction or maintenance of dependence. However, the particular characteristics of the alpha7 subtype of nAChR suggest that it may participate in long term changes in synaptic efficacy that could be relevant to nicotine dependence.

Altered Land, Altered Lives in Barrow, Alaska
by Lum, Daniel James Inulak
86 p., 76 color plates, 10 x 8
Format: cloth
Price: $25.00
For years, tour guide Daniel Lum brought visitors as well as his children out to the remote corners of Barrow, Alaska, one of the northernmost cities in the world, to witness polar bears and walrus on the beaches. Over time, snapping photos for tourists and shooting photographs of his own, he has been witness to the profound environmental changes taking place as his homeland shifts and disappears before his eyes. As arguments over climate change rage in more temperate locales, Nuvuk, the Northernmost is a poignant snapshot of life in a town where these changes are impossible to overlook. Lum's vivid photographs of wildlife such as whales, polar bears, and birds offer rare close-ups of animals few ever see. In addition, Lum provides vivid descriptions and pictures of daily life in and around Barrow, offering a compelling insider's introduction to living on the tip of the world. With Lum as a capable guide, Nuvuk, the Northernmost is a chance to see a rare world before it changes forever. An impressive little book that offers an intriguing peak at a place even most Alaskans will never see. —Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Daniel Lum Daniel Lum lives in Barrow, Alaska, and runs tours there with his family, specializing in trips to Nuvuk. He is a descendant of the Ińupiat Eskimos and studies the Ińupiat language.

The basics of cardio
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Many of these deaths are both premature and preventable. So, how can you improve your heart health and avoid becoming one of these statistics? Get regular aerobic exercise.
"How much is enough?" and "What kind is best?" are two common questions that people ask about exercise. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind as you embark on a new fitness routine. Remember to speak with your healthcare provider before you start any new workout regimens. They can help tailor your routine to fit your specific fitness needs and goals.
How much is enough?
The American Heart Association advises healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week. That may sound like a lot, but it's easy to do if you break it into 30-minute sessions.
What counts as moderate-intensity aerobic activity? You should be working hard enough to break a sweat and feel your heart beating a little faster than normal. You should still be able to carry on a conversation, but you shouldn't be able to sing. For example, you can walk, ride your bike, garden, or complete other work around the house.
On days when you'd prefer to exercise for less time, just work harder. Instead of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, you can aim for 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week. At this level of intensity, you should only be able to say a few words at a time, without pausing for breath. Consider swimming brisk laps, jogging, or running, or playing basketball for 25 minutes, three times a week.
In addition to aerobic activity, make time for at least two sessions of muscle-strengthening exercises every week. For example, do yoga, lift weights, or use your own body weight for resistance in pushups, situps, lunges, and other simple strengthening activities.
If you have lived a sedentary lifestyle, start out slowly. If you can't make it for 30 to 40 minutes, set a goal that you can reach and then gradually add time as you grow stronger.
What type is best?
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. Any type of aerobic exercise will offer immediate and long-term health benefits. If you shudder at the thought of running, consider walking instead. If swimming laps sounds as appealing as a root canal, try water aerobics. If you can't muster the motivation to exercise alone, grab a friend and hit the tennis courts or join a sport league.
At the gym, try alternating cardio machines every few days or weeks so you don't get bored. You can even do 10-minute intervals on different machines during each trip to the gym. Recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, stair climbers, and treadmills are usually available, giving you options to mix up your routine.
Add intervals
The human body adapts amazingly well, and quickly, to the stress of exercise. Once you're consistently exercising for at least 25 to 30 minutes at a time, try adding interval training to your routine. During interval training, you incorporate short periods of more intense effort into your workouts. It's a great way to get more out of your workouts without making them longer.
Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology studied the effects of interval training on women in their 20s. The researchers monitored eight women of varying fitness levels. The participants rode stationary bikes, alternating intervals of hard and easy effort. They followed four-minute bursts of 90 percent effort with two minutes of rest. They complete 10 sets of these intervals during each workout session and trained every other day for two weeks. At the end of the training period, the amount of fat they burned during one hour of continuous moderate cycling had increased by 36 percent. Their cardiovascular fitness had increased by 13 percent.
These findings suggest that just one or two interval training sessions per week are all you need to see a real benefit. You can slowly incorporate interval training into your existing routine. For example, if you walk for exercise, start with a five-minute warmup. Increase your speed to a very brisk pace for two to four minutes. Then slow down to your normal pace for the same amount of time. Alternate hard and easy intervals for about 10 minutes.
The takeaway
Cardiovascular exercise offers many benefits, the biggest of which is increased heart health. Getting 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, per week can also help you lose weight and relieve stress.
Even when life gets busy, it's important to make time for self-care. Regular exercise is a big part of that. Give your body the care it needs by making fitness training a consistent part of your life.
