In its S-1 filing, Facebook said mobile was the company's biggest weakness.
It has since spent $1 billion to acquire mobile photo-sharing app Instagram and Thursday, Facebook announced the launch of another photo-sharing app called Camera.
The app allows users to see a feed of friends' pictures and it also allows them to share multiple images at once.
Camera also gives users the ability to edit photos with filters and rotation and crop tools.
Why Facebook needed to introduce an app so similar to Instagram just weeks after acquiring the startup is yet to be explained.
The app will be available for iOS devices Thursday.

A new towable RV manufacturing company is now setting up shop at the former Travel Supreme Inc. facility on Ind. 19 in Wakarusa, Ind., and is gearing up to begin production soon.
A division of a larger, well-capitalized corporation, the new company, whose name has not been revealed, will be led by two former Thor Industries Inc. executives, RVBUSINESS.com has confirmed.
The 160,000-square-foot facility housed Travel Supreme, until it closed in April 2008.
The startup will make multiple product lines, including lightweight trailers.
Further details, such as the company's name, were unavailable.
It is at least the fourth new start-up RV manufacturing firm in Elkhart County this year, joining the ranks of Heritage One, Fiber-Lite Corp. and Earthbound RV LLC.
This news also amounts to another positive development for Wakarusa, located in southwest Elkhart County, which has been decimated by the recession.
Earlier in the year, the community welcomed Electric Motors Corp., which announced plans to manufacture electric hybrid vehicles in partnership with Nappanee-based Gulf Stream Coach Inc. And in recent weeks, Monaco RV LLC, successor to Monaco Coach Corp., began rehiring employees to reoccupy Monaco's Wakarusa facilities to build motorized and towable RVs.

I just feel like ranting about determinant notation. I always get in this mood when preparing a lecture on determinants and I look through various books for ideas on better presentation and the somewhat standard notation makes my skin crawl. Many people think it is a good idea to use
instead of the sane, and hardly any more verbose
or .
Now what's the problem with the first one.
1) Unless you look carefully you might mistake the vertical lines for brackets and simply see a matrix, not its determinant.
2) vertical lines look like something positive while the determinant is negative.
3) What about 1 by 1 matrces. is a determinant of or is it the absolute value of .
4) What if you want the absolute value of the determinant (something commonly done). Then if you'd write
that looks more like the operator norm of the matrix rather than absolute value of its determinant. So in this case, even those calculus or linear algebra books that use the vertical lines will write:
So now the student might be confused because they don't expect to see "det" used for determinant (consistency in notation is out the window).
So … if you are teaching linear algebra or writing a book on linear algebra, do the right thing: Don't use vertical lines.

Mom lashing out at loved ones who care for her
Q: My mom, who is now 85 years old, is becoming impossible to deal with. She has always been a stern, rigid person with a negative way of looking at things. Now. after my dad has passed away, she is beyond what even a very patient person would be able to endure.
She needs mine and my brother's help with groceries and cooking. We also clean her apartment and my cousin does the laundry. My mom is never happy. She is complaining about everything and everyone. She does not appreciate what we do for her. She just criticizes us all the time. I seem to be getting most of her anger. This is getting to the point where no one wants to be around her any longer than necessary.
I personally worry that she may be getting depressed. Her mind is sharp, but her temper is difficult to endure. We all believe that she is very lonely. Is there a way to help her? What should we do?
A: First of all, your mom is blessed to have you all as help. You are truly the reason she can stay home, and I only wish that all seniors had that much support from their families. Although you do not often get praised for what you are trying to do, I want to be the person to thank you and your family.
Now let's talk about your mom. It is not easy to be 85 these days. As you described, she is alone. Her husband of many years is no longer with her. This is scary and truly depressing. Every day is a challenge. Even the simplest task may be beyond her grasp.
Many people at this age are having trouble with hearing and vision. Many have serious arthritis limiting mobility and dexterity, so using tools and even doing simple kitchen chores seems to be a torture.
Many seniors do not admit to their families that they are in pain most of the day, because they think this is a normal part of aging. There may be problems with other issues. Problems with sleep, bowels, and ill-fitting false teeth are just a few.
Our seniors are a proud group. It is not easy for them to accept help. They grew up during the Great Depression. They learned to be self-sufficient and make do under extreme circumstance. They do not want to owe anyone anything.
Paradoxically, seniors may see aging as a sign of weakness. The media is full of advertisements and programs that treat aging almost like a horrible disease. We do not embrace and celebrate aging in our country. We pretend it does not exist and we try to cheat it.
Today's technology can also be scary and intimidating. Everyone these days has a gadget or two. Your mom may be feeling as though she does not fit in.
I suspect that, deep inside, your mom may be full of guilt and shame. She really did not sign up for this. Her new dependence and loneliness are fueling her difficult behavior.
There is yet another interesting phenomenon we geriatric doctors observe. Quite often, the most loving family members get the most of the grief and abuse. We believe that this is because seniors may feel that the daughter or the sons are "safe" people to complain to.
They realize that you will always love them, and never leave or abandon them. Unlike strangers or distant cousins, you are their rock you will be there -- you can take it. This sounds truly bizarre, but the person who absorbs the most of the negativity may be the most trusted one. In a sense it is the most ultimate expression of love and trust.
How can we help your family cope with your mom's difficult behavior? It is clear you all love her. Otherwise, you wouldn't be there. I would like you to do something quite unorthodox. Try to see your mom as a survivor and a person who successfully got herself to this age. Not only did she endure, she also brought up a great, loving family. She must have done something right.
I would encourage you to celebrate this with your mom. I would also hope that you can take advantage of her experience to ask for her advice and to listen to her opinions. Many seniors tell me they do not believe that their wisdom is valued by anyone anymore.
One of the biggest blessings of my specialty is the privilege of constantly learning from my patients and their experiences. It has truly made me into not a only better doctor, but also a better person, parent and a child to my mom and dad.
I also want to make you aware that the negative behavior your mom exhibits is not personal. This is her coping with every day. She has perfected this behavior for many, many years and it probably will not be possible to change it now.
The family may have to insulate from the behavior by understanding its purpose. It is not there to hurt you. It is there for your mom to get through to the end of each day. Responding with love and optimism and dividing time between few people may be the only way for you to conquer this difficult situation.
Please celebrate any moment when your mom's attitude is positive. Embrace it like a gift. You probably will not be able to change her drastically into a more optimistic person.
When it comes to you being worried about depression, you may be right. Diagnosing depression will probably be relatively easy and can be done by your mom's primary care doctor.
Accepting treatment is another idea altogether. Many seniors are petrified when it comes to any new medication. Nevertheless, you definitely should try to talk with her and her doctor about it. Her doctor may have better chance to convince her to try it than anyone else. Best of luck.

President Barack Obama will stay out of the public eye on Sunday as Senate leaders try to work out an elusive deal ahead of a Thursday deadline for lifting the U.S. government debt ceiling.
Just before noon, the White House gave the pool of reporters and photographers who travel with the president notice that it would be highly unlikely that Obama would leave the White House or speak publicly for the rest of the day.
Senator Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, was slated to hold talks on Sunday with his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, about how much to raise the debt ceiling, and how to end the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 13th day.
Obama made a series of high-profile public appearances during the early days of the shutdown, where he sought to blame Republicans for the fiscal impasse.
But Obama has stayed away from television cameras since he began meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon.
Vice President Joe Biden, who has close relationships with lawmakers who he served with during his long service in the U.S. Senate, also has stayed out of the public eye.
Biden's schedule for the weekend showed that he and his wife Jill Biden would spend time at Camp David, the presidential retreat in rural Maryland.
"Maybe we need to get Joe Biden out of the witness protection program," Republican Senator John McCain said on CBS Television's "Face the Nation" program on Sunday morning, alluding to Biden's legendary ability to clinch deals with Republicans.

So now that phase one of the DCFC install program has been completed (last one in my home town Vernon last september) the phase 2 sites have apparently been selected and installations to start this summer. A final list has not been published but apparently they will consist of the same Chademo stations they have been using as well as a backup up level 2 J1772. Total of 25 additional stations in phase two to be added to the 30 stations already installed in phase one. There are apparently about 1100 level 2 stations in the province currently running. The Phase two project will be completed by march 2018. The attached document does not show the location of the new stations but does show the routes they will concentrate on. Looks like the northern interior will have to wait until phase three. The map does show the existing 30 stations.

Damn, I just tried it and you are right. It took about 5 seconds to get a fix in my room, never seen that before.
I have also been using the S4 for nearly a week, and so far, I like it a lot. There's no denying it's evolution and refinement rather than evolution, and innovation, but I liked my S II a lot, so that's not a bad thing from my perspective.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev community can do. I've noticed for example that my deep sleep time is low, about 65% without heavy use. On the plus side, the battery copes very well, I'm still at 43% after 22 hours.
I'm really impressed with the screen too. I don't like pentile at all, but the S4 looks very sharp, and I like the colour rendition a lot, even though I know it's not accurate (though it can be made accurate by switching to movie mode).
The feel is better now that I have a gel case on it, though I do miss the thinness it has without it. Also, I have noticing the extra height, it's noticeably larger in my jeans pocket than my S II.

No pressure on Adam Silver or anything, but this will be the most important day the NBA has had since the merger with the ABA.
For the last three days, the NBA has been drowning in the cesspool dredged up by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his racist comments. Players are outraged, sponsors are appalled and ticketholders are disgusted.
Even Michael Jordan felt compelled to speak out, no small thing for a guy so averse to taking a stand he won't even say if he thinks the sky is blue.
PUNISHMENT: What will Silver do?
ARMOUR: Sterling is bad for NBA, bad for business
The NBA has a chance to reclaim its dignity when Commissioner Silver announces Sterling's punishment this afternoon. Get it right, and Sterling becomes little more than a bad memory. Get it wrong, and the NBA might never recover.
"It's so remarkably buffoonish, if he goes it goes," said John Sweeney, director of the Sports Communication Program at the University of North Carolina and head of the school's advertising specialization.
"But I've got to tell you, if they hedge, watch out. If the NBA hedges, watch out."
STERLING: Owner can't sweep this one under the rug
The NBA Constitution isn't public, so it's unclear exactly how far Silver can go in disciplining Sterling. But a look at the events of the last few days shows that, for the future of the NBA, Silver had better go as far as he can.
There's already been talk about boycotting playoff games. It's one thing to consider walking out on a Tuesday night game in mid-December that no one will notice, let alone miss. It's quite another to consider walking out on the playoffs, the games that make the entire season worthwhile.
VIDEO: NBA's reputation being tarnished
USA TODAY Sports columnist Nancy Armour weighs in on the controversy surrounding Donald Sterling. USA TODAY Sports
But don't underestimate the players' rage. If Sterling is allowed to remain in the game, the players won't stand for it. Neither will sponsors, who couldn't get away from the Clippers fast enough Monday. State Farm, Kia, CarMax, Virgin America, airline, Red Bull, Yokohama tires, Mercedes-Benz – they all bailed.
Most ominous, however, was the statement from Anheuser-Busch.
"As the official beer of the NBA, we are disappointed to hear the alleged recent comments attributed to L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling," the statement said. "While Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light are not team sponsors of the L.A. Clippers, we fully support the NBA's efforts to investigate quickly and trust that they will take appropriate action."
CLIPPERS: Rivers declines to talk to Sterling
SPONSORS: Plenty pulling support of Clippers
Left unsaid was what happens if the NBA doesn't, but you can guess. Corporate America still has scorch marks from being burned by Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong, and it's not about to go to bat for a guy like Sterling, with his long history of racist and unsavory behavior.
Forcing an owner to step away from his team strikes some as extreme, maybe even illegal. But Silver has no other choice.
A fine would mean nothing to Sterling, who has a net worth of $1.9 billion. That's billion, with a b. A suspension ensures this ugliness would continue festering through the playoffs and the off-season.
And sensitivity training? Please.
No, the NBA has to get its good name back and it has only this one day to do it. Don't blow it, Commissioner.

5 things you need to know Thursday
1. GOP to elect new House majority leader
After House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-Va.) shocking primary loss last week, the GOP is left grasping for his replacement. Thursday, the Republican party will elect a new House majority leader — widely believed to be House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy. The leader-elect will take over when Cantor leaves his post July 31.
Now that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has been defeated in one of the biggest primary upsets in recent memory, who could possibly replace him? (USA NOW, USA TODAY)
2. Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw tosses no-hitter
The two-time National Cy Young winner Wednesday night pitched a no-hitter against one of the top hitting teams in the majors, the Colorado Rockies.
3. The Supreme Court to announce more case decisions
The Supreme Court will issue decisions at 10 a.m. ET Thursday as it races to complete its 2013 term by the end of the month. Only 14 of the court's 70 cases remain to be decided, but they include several of the most important ones. Among the questions the justices will answer: Can the president make appointments when the Senate refuses to confirm them? Do for-profit corporations or their owners have religious rights? Can police search an arrested suspect's cellphone without first obtaining a warrant? And can a small Internet startup broadcast network television programs without paying retransmission fees?
4. U.S. Women's Open with youngest competitor in history
The U.S. Women's Open begins today with some fierce — and some fiercely young — competition. Eleven-year-old Lucy Li will become the youngest person to compete in the championship games in its 68-year history, as the first day at the Pinehurst #2 golf course in North Carolina gets under way.
5. 'Juneteenth' anniversary marks the end of slavery
Almost 150 years ago, Union General Gordon Granger put an end to slavery in Texas in a 1865 battle that is considered as the end of slavery in all parts of the country. Today, the feat is celebrated as "Juneteenth" with festivals and prayers in honor of such an important point in American history.
Bonus: 50th anniversary of Senate's approval of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Senate passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 50 years ago today, following months in filibuster. This act is seen as the kickstarting legislation that worked to rectify mounting racial tensions across the country.
Bonus: Garfield comic debuts in 1978
The spaghetti-loving orange cat made his comic debut today in 1978 and our feline friend continues to hold the title as longest running comic strip in the country.
And, the essentials:
Weather: While most of the western third of the nation will see clear skies and warm to hot temperatures Thursday, a few scattered thunderstorms will slam portions of the central and eastern U.S.
Stocks: Wall Street stock futures are trading flat.
TV Tonight: Find out what's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time.

On Sunday, October 2nd, Jalopnik is sponsoring a food and art truck gathering called "Truck Yeah: A Mobile Meet Up," at Broom and Ludlow on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Starting at noon, it'll be a six-hour feast from NYC's best food trucks, including the CoolHaus and Mud trucks. There will be art, music, and the best in NYC's mobile culture. We'll be combining it with a special "Street Meat Week" the week of September 26th — a celebration of all things meat-on-the-street. Oh, and I will be test-driving a food truck.
But, the groups running the event, Art Cart, Gawker Artists and LES New York, need some monetary help — so they've set up a Kickstarter grant to help make it a reality. If you want to help, give a couple of bucks — and if you want to help a lot, give a couple more.
Also, as a bonus — we'll be including a special Jalopnik bumper sticker for anyone who gives $25 or more to help make this happen. Yes, they'll be better than the ones from our meet-up. I swear.
So donate today!

CHARLOTTE � When Cody Zeller attended the 2008 McDonald�s All-American basketball game at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, he was there to support his older Tyler Zeller.
It turns out he began a relationship that he hopes will help change the Charlotte Bobcats� recent fortunes.
�I remember seeing Kemba Walker play in the McDonald�s All-American game with my brother,� Cody Zeller said Friday at his introductory Bobcats news conference after being the No. 4 overall pick in Thursday�s NBA Draft. �And my dad (Steve) and I picked him as our favorite player. I�ve followed him ever since and am looking forward to the opportunity to play with him here.�
According to new Bobcats coach Steve Clifford, he will be expected to do much more than simply �play� with Walker.
�That will be one of the relationships we will have to work on,� said Clifford, who compared Zeller�s talents to those of Pau Gasol and Kevin Garnett among others due to his talent, versatility and unselfishness. �I�m telling what I see evolving. But the talent and skill level are there and I think there�s a lot of ways that he can be effective.�
Given how Walker thrived in the pick-and-roll game with veteran Josh McRoberts late last season � Walker led the team in scoring (17.7 average) and assists (5.7) � Clifford has hopes that Zeller can do the same.
�To me, it�s the whole package,� Clifford said of Zeller�s talents. �If you watch the best teams play, they play hard and they play smart. He fits right into that.�
What else does Zeller�s addition mean for the Bobcats?
The team announced Friday it will be making a qualifying offer to restricted free agent guard-forward Gerald Henderson but won�t be extending an offer to forward-center Byron Mullens.
Henderson, the team�s first-round pick in 2009, can be signed by another NBA team, but the Bobcats will have the right to match whatever contract offer Henderson is made.
If the Bobcats bring Henderson back � and re-sign unrestricted free agents Jannero Pargo and Josh McRoberts � Charlotte can bring back nine of its top rotation players from a team that won its final three games to finish 21-61.
Sometime in the next week, the Bobcats will announce free agent signees to fill out their roster for the July 17-22 Las Vegas Summer League. The team will spend a few days at their practice facility in Charlotte before heading west.
Clifford hopes Walker will attend some practice sessions, with guard-forward Jeffery Taylor, forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and forward-center Bismack Biyombo expected to join Zeller on the summer league team.
�We�re building a summer league team now,� said general manager Rich Cho, who spent much of last season scouting Zeller�s Indiana team frequently. �Cody was a target all year. He�s a guy we want to build around. He�s the best big athlete in the draft and the best in many, many years.�

Q&A with Junior Swimmer Matt Herman
Related Links
In the first event of last week's NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships at San Antonio, TX, UC San Diego junior Matt Herman, in the words of Head Coach Scott McGihon, turned in a performance that "galvanized" the Tritons and kick-started the team towards its best-ever combined finish at the national meet. The 5-foot-9 UC Davis transfer went wire-to-wire that night to win the 1,000 freestyle in school record time of 9:02.67. After finishing fifth in the 500 freestyle two nights later, he closed out the meet by winning a second national title with another school record in the 1,650 freestyle (15:12.78) as the UCSD men placed second in the team standings. "The great thing about Matt's events is that if you put in a lot of hard work, you're going to have success—and he definitely puts in the work" said McGihon. "He's probably the most dedicated member of our team—very driven." In the aftermath of the NCAA meet, the San Anselmo native took time to look back on the past week and what got him there.
Q-Was last week in San Antonio the greatest performance of your swimming career?
HERMAN— Absolutely. It has been a few years since I have dropped
the kind of time in my events that I did in San Antonio.
Not only that, but to walk away with a second place team finish was a
great feeling.
Q—Were there any question marks, fears or nervousness when you arrived in Texas?
HERMAN— I think at every meet a swimmer will arrive with doubts and nervousness in their mind. "Did I put in all the work? Did I get enough rest? Did I miss my taper?" When those doubts and fears come up, you have to channel them into fast swimming. Before and during every race I thought about the seven months of training I had put in and that is what helped me in all three of my races.
Q-Which win meant more to you, the 1,000 freestyle or 1,650?
HERMAN— The feeling I had after the 1,000 was indescribable. The win after the 1,000 was really special not only because it was my first National Championship, but also because after that race I knew all the hard work my teammates, coaches and I had put in during the season had paid off and we were going to have an incredible meet.
Q-When did you feel you had the 1,000 freestyle won?
HERMAN— It wasn't until the final 50 of the race that I knew I had it. At the 700 yard mark I thought I was going to be passed, but I saw all of my teammates on the side of the pool jumping up and down and knew I could find another gear and get the win. The 1,000 was definitely a team win. My teammates and coaches played a big role in it.
Q—Is there a different sense of accomplishment having won two national championships as opposed to just one?
HERMAN— In every race you swim, you want to get out of the water knowing you left everything you had in the water. I think having two wins under my belt definitely helps confirm that I put everything I had into those two races.
Q—What was going through your mind as you made the last turn for home in the 1,650?
HERMAN— When I heard the bell going into the last 50 of a 66 lap race, I was excited that it was almost over. Swimming that last 50 with no one around me was a great feeling and I knew I was going to get my second National Championship.
Q—The second place team finish was UCSD's best in 11 years at the Division II level. How did it feel to be part of that accomplishment?
HERMAN— As a team
we had set a goal to be top three at Nationals in the beginning of the year, so
to accomplish that was definitely the highlight of my NCAA experience. When you set a goal as a team and achieve
that goal, it is way more significant than any individual championship. Every member of the team, whether they were
at Nationals or not, played a big part in the second place finish. To be on this team and hoist the trophy at
the end of the meet was a great feeling.
Q—Between the men and women, UCSD swimmers broke 11 school records at the NCAA meet. Which of your teammates' performances impressed you the most? Why?
HERMAN— There
were a lot of great swims at the meet, but I have to say that Blake Langland's
relay swims were very inspiring. It is
uncanny how he never gives up when he anchors the relays and out-touches
swimmers whom were a body length ahead before he dove in. Also, Alex Henley and Nick Korth's win's were
very fun to watch.
Q—How would you describe the way the UCSD coaching staff works together and what do you feel are the strengths of each coach?
HERMAN— We definitely have the best coaching staff in the entire country. Be it in Division I, II, or III, you won't find a more passionate or successful group of coaches in any sport. Each coach adds their own element to our team. Scott is very organized and in my mind is a genius distance freestyle coach. He is really great at knowing what sets to give me and how to push me into my potential.
Corrie (Falcon) is a great motivator, and comes up with some challenging sets (she was one of the best individual medley swimmers in the United States when she swam!). Matt (Macedo) is very inventive with his practices and his passion for the sport is uncontested (he was one of the best sprint freestylers in the country!). It is great to have Tyler Painter as a part of our coaching staff as well. He was one of the greatest distance swimmers in the world when he swam competitively, and to get advice from him is very inspiring.
Even at 6 a.m., I am excited to swim for our four coaches because I know they are giving the team 100% and it makes me want to reciprocate that every way I know how. Without these coaches, I know there would not be second and third place team trophies on display in RIMAC right now and I would not have two individual National Championship finishes.
Q—The distance group likely has the toughest training regimen of any unit on a swim team. Are there times during the season when it's tough to motivate yourself? What do you do to get through those times?
HERMAN— There are definitely times during the season where both physically and mentally it is tough to perform. When that happens I look to my teammates and coaches to bring me back to a level of training that will allow me to reach my potential. In swimming we train seven months for one competition, so most of the sport is about the journey getting to that competition and you have to look at those bad days as just part of the journey.
Q—Were you surprised
to see some 20 UCSD swimming alumni in the stands in San Antonio?
HERMAN— Definitely. Having alumni travel all the way to San Antonio to watch us swim was very inspiring. Many of the alumni haven't missed a Nationals since they attended UCSD and I think it shows the tight relationships and bonds this team develops while you're swimming on it.
Q—What type of thoughts are typically going through your head during the 66 laps of the 1,650?
HERMAN— In the beginning of the race I usually think, "Wow, I feel pretty good…I can hold this pace for ever!" Then, about the middle of the race I usually get a Springsteen song in my head to keep me going. And by the end thoughts come up like, "I wish I was a sprinter." And, "I can't wait to hear that bell."
Q—If you had to swim all of the other events in a standard meet, which would be your worst?
HERMAN— Either the 50 free, or one of the breaststroke races. Simply because I can't sprint or do breaststroke.
Q—Now that the long season is concluded, how will you spend your free time?
HERMAN— I'll probably take two weeks out of the water and this first week to eat a lot of junk food and be lazy. After the college season is over we go right into long-course swimming and you have to be in shape for that, so the break, although nice, is relatively short-lived.
Q-With two individual national championships in your possession, what type of goals do you anticipate setting for yourself in 2012?
HERMAN— As a team, I would like hold up a first place trophy at the end of the meet next year. Also, I want to defend my two titles and look for a third in the 500 free.
Q—Looking back, aside from your two wins, what is the one thing you will remember most from the 2011 NCAA Championships?
HERMAN— Getting out of the water after the 1,000 freestyle—hugging Scott and shouting, "We did it!"

ANTIOCH — Mark your calendar: Friday will be just another day and the world will still exist when you wake up the next morning.
Doomsday prophets who have been predicting that the world will end on Dec. 21 might be disappointed with a presentation at Antioch's Deer Valley High School on Thursday, when several experts in astronomy, geology and archaeology will debunk the notion while explaining what the Maya people of Mesoamerica really meant with the calendars they carved in stone more than a millennia ago.
Dubbed "The Mayan Nopacalypse," the event will be from 4 to 7 p.m. in Room 511 on the campus at 4700 Lone Tree Way.
Friday, which also happens to be the shortest day of the year, is the last date on the Mayan calendar, which scientists say some have misconstrued as a sign that the Earth will be destroyed.
The presentation will kick off with a planetarium show in which astronomy teacher Jeff Adkins will show where the eight major planets in this solar system will be in relation to each other on Dec. 21. Contrary to what alarmists are saying, they will not be aligned, Adkins said. In fact, it will take tens of thousands of years for them to come together and even then they won't form a straight line, he said.
But even if they did, it wouldn't matter, he added; the combined gravitational pull of the smaller planets is less than that of the largest — Jupiter — and that celestial body is so far from Earth that the force it exerts is all but undetectable compared with that of the moon.
A video titled "Doomsday 2012 and Cosmophobia" will follow at 4:30 p.m., featuring a presentation by Mark Van Stone. He earned a doctorate in Mayan hieroglyphs and has written a book on what science has to say about the Mayan prophecy for 2012.
Mayan culture will be the focus of a talk by Heather Bradford, who studies human skeletal remains recovered from archaeological sites in the Southwest, Mexico and Central America.
At 6 p.m., astronomer Bryan Mendez of UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory will discuss what the Maya understood about the stars and planets.
Mendez, who holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics, has studied the speed at which nearby galaxies are moving away from Earth.
The evening will wrap up at 7 p.m. by peering through telescopes at Jupiter, the only easily visible planet at that time of day.

- Super-middleweight
Froch secures Kessler rematch
IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has declared 2013 "the year of the rematches" after securing a unification showdown with Mikkel Kessler - likely to be at the O2 Arena in London - this summer.
Froch, out to avenge his points defeat by WBA champion Kessler in 2010, expects the fight to take place on May 25 and has promised the Dane a "rude awakening" before he turns his attention to fixing a second showdown with Andre Ward.
"I'm delighted that the announcement's finally been made," Froch told Sky Sports News. "Froch-Kessler II is on - it's going to be one of the biggest fights in Britain for the last ten years, bar none."
Froch and promoter Eddie Hearn had been in a race against time to arrange a unification bout with the Danish WBA champion before Tuesday's deadline to avoid having to face mandatory challenger Adonis Stevenson.
The 35-year-old has been desperate for the chance to avenge his defeat by Kessler in Denmark in three years ago, agreeing to fight outside of his native Nottingham to entice the Dane to the UK.
"I don't blame him, he doesn't want to come to Nottingham," Froch said. "I didn't go to Copenhagen, which is where he's from. London is seen as more of a neutral venue.
"I've got a lot of respect for Kessler. He's a warrior like myself, he's a tough fighter. Stylistically, we're made for each other. It's perfect - we both like to fight, let shots go, we don't hold and slip and slide so much, we stand in range and just try and take each other out."
Froch, who on Monday admitted he may have four fights left in him before retiring, is determined to put the disappointment of his defeat by Kessler behind him after admitting he was affected by the haphazard build-up to the fight.
A volcanic eruption in Iceland left travel plans in chaos, and Froch flew to Denmark by private jet just two days before stepping into the ring.
"Anyone who saw the first fight didn't see the best of me, and they saw the absolute best of Mikkel Kessler," Froch added. "Kessler's in for a rude awakening in the rematch.
"My final preparations were really hindered. I had to take a bit of weight off, which I've never done. I wasn't myself - I jumped in the ring thinking I was going to knock him out and he's a tough old Dane.
"He calls himself the Viking Warrior for a reason, and I couldn't get him out of there, and I didn't have the energy to finish him off late on.
"The first time he won a close decision, beat me fair and square, he was the better man on the night. I want to set the record straight. I cannot wait to start training."
Asked what he would want from a victory against Kessler, Froch declared: "It's got to be another rematch.
"Mikkel Kessler got a win over me in Denmark and Andre Ward beat me in America. I fought him in his homeland, and it'd be nice to get him in a rematch.
"The guy with the right frame of mind going into this fight with Mikkel Kessler and myself needs to be thinking about the rematch with Ward.
"That for me would be the year of the rematches, and that would put my legacy firmly intact. If I wanted to hang my gloves up then, I could do quite happily."

text: One or more medical and diagnostic clinics are present in Bowling Green. A diagnostic service is a comprehensive examination of the patient to arrive at the cause of his ailment. This is, in fact, the first step of any medical science. The process uses advanced medical equipment and services such as X-rays, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, MRIs, PET scans and so on. A diagnotician is a professional who can read the test results to arrive at the correct diagnosis. The patient is then referred to the appropriate specialized medical care provider, who may or may not be part of that clinic. Diagnostic checks may be covered by insurance, but you would be wise to check with your provider in advance. Internal medicine, radiology and nuclear medicine are all used in diagnostics.

Learn More About Ireland Tours
Ireland may occupy a relatively small space in the world (it's about the same geographic size as the state of Indiana), but it's a giant when it comes to splendid scenery, rich heritage, magnificent castles and fascinating folklore. The island is politically divided into two countries: the sovereign Republic of Ireland (which is typically known as simply "Ireland") and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.
An Ireland tour usually includes at least one overnight in the capital city of Dublin, where its many important sights include St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Trinity College, and O'Connell Street, one of the widest thoroughfares in Europe. Beer aficionados won't want to miss a visit to the Guinness Storehouse at St. James Gate, where the dark brew was created more than 250 years ago.
Magnificent vistas of green mountains, lakes, valleys, harbors, and cliffs unfold once you leave the cosmopolitan city of Dublin. For example, on the western coast near Killarney, you'll find the Lakes of Killarney and a popular lookout called "Ladies View." This is where Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting stopped during a royal visit in 1861. The ladies were so enraptured with the vistas, the spot was named after them.
Further north, also on the west coast of the island are the Cliffs of Moher, rising nearly 700 feet from the Atlantic Ocean and a magnificent spot to visit on your Ireland vacation. From here it's a gorgeous panorama down the Clare Coast. Watch your step as you walk along the cliff's edge--there are few guardrails here!
Shoppers will want to stop in the southeastern coastal town of Waterford to visit the world-famous Waterford Crystal Factory. And there are plenty of other places in the country's out-of-the-way villages and larger cities to browse for traditional Irish handicrafts, pottery and woolen goods to bring home as souvenirs from your destination tour of Ireland.

After working at Ferry Park for more than a decade, Vicki Gardner has seen a lot of turtles.
FORT WALTON BEACH � After working at Ferry Park for more than a decade, Vicki Gardner has seen a lot of turtles.
Some have been around so long they have names, like Mo and Moette, two large snapping turtles that hang out near a bridge along the mile-long walking path.
View a turtle photo gallery >>
Until Tuesday, Gardner had never seen turtles with numbers painted on their shells.
�He may be new,� she said as she looked down at a turtle with a silver No. 7 on its shell.
In the last day, at least 10 numbered turtles have been spotted from the bridge.
Some of the painted turtles are yellow-bellied sliders, which are native to Florida. Others are an exotic species, the red-eared slider turtle.
Charles Litavic of Mary Esther has run at the park at least twice a week for years.
�It�s the first time I�ve seen this,� he said as he stopped to peer at turtles numbered 5, 11 and 6.
He speculated that city employees were catching the turtles and numbering them, but that�s not the case, according to Gardner, the after-school director at the nearby Docie Bass Recreation Center.
She said the painted turtles seemed to be fairly recent arrivals, based on the lack of algae on their shells.
Kevin Enge, a research herpetologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, guessed someone might have had the turtles as pets and used numbers to identify them. He said researchers typically mark turtles by drilling holes in their shells.
The city recently has posted signs at the park warning people against harming turtles. Gardner said the signs were posted in response to concerns that turtles were being poached.

This is a special place. Waterfalls so tall you can't even see where they begin.
No matter how far you back up or how far you climb up, they seem to come from infinity. There is a sense of solitude, no matter how many people are present. They are dwarfed by the falls. It's a much different sense than Niagara, or really anywhere else I've seen waterfalls (New England, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc). It's powerful, but you can become a part of it, and stand in them, or around them.
The place is covered in blankets of moss, and you are almost always sprayed with a cool mist. It's more like a place out of a mythology or a fiction. It's almost doesn't feel like it's a place for humans, but you feel lucky for the privilege to be experiencing it. I don't know the stories, but I imagine this must have been be a sacred place to someone; there is a power here. There are fallen trees everywhere. Not saplings. These are giant trees you couldn't spread your arms around, house size trees you could walk across.
This place is inspiring.

The following review is an excerpt from Massad Ayoob's Greatest Handguns of the World VOLUME ONE:
Introduced as an inexpensive plinker and woods gun, the High Standard Sentinal .22 revolver was ahead of its time with landmark revolver design features. Perhaps most important, it broke a more than half-century logjam of design stagnation. Unfairly tarnished with a "junk gun" image, it may be the best buy in a used handgun available today.
Shooting the Sentinel
In the hand, your typical Sentinel feels like a J-frame Smith & Wesson with semi-square grip frame, but with more weight forward. The double action trigger pull also resembles the J-frame Smith, with which it shares a coil mainspring and a short-stroke double action trigger pull. This made the DA pull necessarily heavy; a Sentinel may have as much as 12 to 14 pounds pull weight. However, it will be a smooth pull, and that's the key to good double action shooting. In single action, the Sentinel series always offered a let-off so crisp it was virtually target grade.
The overwhelming majority of these guns are encountered with fixed sights. The rear sight sits in a dovetail that can be drifted for windage adjustment if the shooter is both adroit and gentle with a brass rod and a hammer. If the gun is not on for elevation, I've found it's more likely to shoot high than low. While higher, rounder front sights were produced on the cowboy versions and the JC Higgins version made for Sears, Roebuck, the Sentinel is typically found with a graceful ramp that is too low rather than too high. The sight would have to be soldered up to make it higher, or a new one made. The latter would be easy to install, since that series of Sentinel front sight secured to the barrel with an Allen screw.
A swing-out cylinder that worked by pulling forward on the ejector rod was foreign to shooters of the time, though it was later widely copied by such firms as Charter Arms and RG. Unique to these new Sentinels – and uniquely irritating – was the fact that none of them had a spring loaded extractor rod like a Colt, a Smith or even a the swing-out H&R. The shooter would punch out the last nine empties, forget to manually pull the rod back forward, and attempt to close the cylinder. The result was a jarring collision of the protruding ejector star with the left side of the frame.
As a result, virtually all of these guns unless they are unfired will have characteristic and distinctive scarring on the left side of the frame behind the cylinder window. There is no doubt that the minor production economy of not putting in the self-returning ejector rod, a standard feature with every other name brand swing-out revolver, contributed to the public's impression of the Sentinel as a cheap gun. It was a time when "cheap" was often seen as a synonym for "junk." High Standard finally realized that. The 2003 Standard Catalog of Firearms notes, "The Sentinel revolvers begin with the R-100 design series and continue through the R-109 series…beginning with the R-102 series the ejector had a spring return." The fact that the majority of Sentinels and Double-Nines I've run across don't have this feature tells me that consumer interest in the guns cooled fairly quickly. As the numeric model designations went up, sales were going precipitously downward.
These are surprisingly accurate revolvers. They don't have the gilt-edged precision of your true target revolver, such as the S&W K-22 or the Colt Officer's Model Match, but they'll keep pace with the smaller frame S&W .22/32 Kit Gun or Colt's rare lightweight .22 revolver in the Cobra series. A 2.5-inch group or better is par for the course at 25 yards, shooting off the bench. I've never put one in a Ransom Rest and don't know if the machine rest people ever even made an insert for the High Standard .22 revolver. However, I've learned as a rule of thumb that if five hand-held shots from the bench look and feel to the shooter as if they've gone off perfectly, measuring the best three will factor out human error sufficiently to get a very good approximation of what the same handgun will do from the Ransom for all five shots. By that standard, a Sentinel that hasn't been too battered over the years should be good for 1-to 1.5-inch potential accuracy. To achieve this, however, you want to experiment until you find the most compatible ammunition. Many technical tests in The Accurate Rifle and Precision Shooting attest to this fact in match grade .22 rifles, and it's likewise true in recreational or target grade .22 rimfire handguns. Groups I shot with Remington .22 Long and Winchester .22 Long Rifle HP had stayed in the head of the International Practical Shooting Confederation target, but in disappointing four to five inch groups, when I shot my $75 Sentinel snubby. It was not until I switched to the Remington Thunderbolt that the five-shot group shrank to a magic inch and an eighth.
The Sentinel literally had a built-in grip adapter, to which Keith alluded in the first quote above. Interestingly, only Gaylord chose to fit a grip adapter to his Sentinels. Virtually every other specimen you see was left as is by its owner, testimony to a design that naturally fits the human hand.

They haven't seen combat in generations.
Their propellers lack the punch of the jets that propel F-16 Fighting Falcons.
But nine planes that flew before the Air Force Academy's inception will nevertheless help celebrate its latest class of graduates.
Two nonprofit organizations pledged on Wednesday to provide a flyover for the academy's graduation May 29 -- filling a void created when the Air Force pulled its normal aerial demonstration team, the Air Force Thunderbirds.
The Thunderbirds -- a staple of the annual ceremony -- canceled flyovers across the nation this year when a series of automatic budget cuts known as sequestration took effect March 1.
In their absence, the National Museum of World War II Aviation in Colorado Springs and the Texas Flying Legends Museum of Houston plan to offer nine World War II-era planes to fly above the Air Force's newest second lieutenants.
Included will be: two B-25J Mitchell bombers, two P-51D Mustang fighters, a P47D Thunderbolt fighter, a FG1D Corsair fighter, a P-40K Warhawk fighter, a FM2 Wildcat fighter and a TBM-3E Avenger bomber.
The aircraft will be on display at the National Museum of World War II Aviation, from May 27 through May 29.
'We just felt it was a fitting, a very fitting, fitting tribute, ' said John Henry, a spokesman for the museum.

I went to Shedd Aquarium yesterday, but it was hardly my first time there. Mostly I went to see the new Jellies exhibit, which was compact but done well.
I'm not a fan of jellyfish (I've been a victim of their sting!) but I do love to watch them. I'm one of those people who would shriek and run away if you tried to get me to touch one on the non-stinging parts, or if I saw one in the water. They are beautiful and interesting creatures, though…I just don't want to interact with them unless there is a thick pane of glass between us both.
Being the aquarium geek-for-life that I am, I also stopped and looked at every single tank in the general galleries too. As is my wont, I also had my ears open for any interesting dialogue between other aquarium visitors. I'm an insufferable know-it-all when it comes to fish, and I WILL step in with a useful fact or a correction to someone's ignorance at times. I only do this because aquariums are my passion, and I think fish and other aquatic denizens are utterly fascinating, and love to educate people about just how amazing fish really are. For instance, did you know that the Mexican blind cave tetra (Astyanax mexicanus) is born with functional eyes, but gradually loses them over time as they grow up in the dark caves and cenotes of Mexico? This is because there are two varieties of this species – one that lives in caves, and one that doesn't. The one that lives in caves starts out just like the one that lives in a normal environment, but loses its eyes because it doesn't use them. But the two varieties – eyeless and normal – are the exact same species, and can interbreed. Fascinating!
But you know what? There is no sign at the Shedd, next to the tank of Blind Cave tetras, that even mentions this. And that's what I wanted to write about – how museums can miss out on easy opportunities to educate their visitors. I love the Shedd a lot, but it frustrates me when I see how much empty sign/educational space is being wasted. On each tank, there are two "flanks" of vertical signs, which are used only to identify the creatures within the tank.
For instance, this is a (blurry photo of a) sign about rockfish.
Sometimes there are also some signs that run horizontally, which have general information about ecosystems (i.e. "Why we need to save the African Rift Lakes") that are sometimes only tangentially related to the tank they are beneath. The signage and educational focus seems to be better in the newer exhibits, such as the Amazon Rising tanks or the Wild Reef exhibit. But they have practically squandered the signage in the general galleries (i.e. what you get to see if you only pay general admission). On each of the vertical signs, there are perhaps 6 slots for identification cards – and most of the tanks on average only use up about 2-3 slots per sign – and there are two vertical signs per tank. The rest of the slots are just left empty! Empty! I could (and already have) think of lots of interesting bits of information you could put in those empty sign slots.
To me, it's an example of how museums – especially in this poor economy – need to find new and innovative ways to present/repackage the collections they already have. Updating or creating signage is so much cheaper, simpler and easier than purchasing "more interesting" items for the collection – it's about taking a Depression-era philosophy of getting the most use out of what you have. Every item is interesting in some way, and every fish or painting or letter has a story to tell. Being a good steward of the collection is more than just protecting it and keeping it well maintained – it's about making sure that your visitors CARE about those objects enough to want to make a return visit, or write a good review on Yelp, or donate money, or volunteer, or in some way support your institution.
Whenever I visit the Shedd, I always feel bad for the less "sexy" fish, the alewives, the chubs, the darters, who are quickly passed over for the sexier "Nemos" and seahorses, and the brightly colored reef fish. It's like the Shedd has all but given up on making these dull-colored fish interesting, even though they ARE interesting because of their behavior, or eating habits, or the origin of their names. In my opinion, it signifies a failure to adhere to the Shedd's mission of teaching others about aquatic life, and creating a connection between visitors and the collection. I have witnessed so much ignorance about both biology and fish among Shedd visitors – but I can hardly blame the visitors – I've seen them peering into the tanks, then looking at the minimally informative signs, and they end up looking more confused than ever before. They come with so many questions, but they are presented with few answers.
Some days I feel like I want to be for aquariums what Neil De Grasse Tyson is to astronomy.
I have an unstoppable desire to educate others about the thing I am passionate about – and I want to get others as excited about aquariums, and biology (and science in general) as I am! When I visit museums (and aquariums, and zoos) I am constantly thinking up new ways to make things better – how can this sign be (re)written, how could we rearrange this case to make it more visually interesting, what is the best story we can tell about this object? It saddens me when I see wasted opportunities for education, for stimulating the imagination and encouraging the scientific mind. That is what is suggested by the empty signs at the Shedd, and at other museums I've visited. Fill that space with knowledge, with questions and tell the story to the crowd!
