Curiosity morphs into a mobile lab
The large team of engineers and scientists living on Mars time at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory here are rapidly learning to operate the nuclear-powered Curiosity rover, which continues to perform almost faultlessly on the floor of Gale Crater.
Checkout of the complex suite of instruments designed to gauge the habitability of Mars, past and perhaps present, continues to go well. The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) engineering team has completed a changeout from the software designed to transport the rover from Earth to the surface of Mars over to the package Curiosity will need to operate semiautonomously for the next two Earth years.
Scientists have started mapping the terrain it must cross to reach the canyon in the side of the crater's central mountain, dubbed Mount Sharp in tribute to planetary scientist Robert P. Sharp, that is the scientific target of the mission. And the team that must write as many as 1,000 rover commands a day during full-up operations has started working without a net, with the preloaded command sequences for the most part all run now (see p. 30).
The MSL Curiosity team will have its first chance to conduct geochemical science, and even go for a short drive, sometime late this week, assuming the commissioning process continues to stay on schedule, says NASA.
So far, John Grotzinger, the mission chief scientist, says the chances are extremely good that this activation process will go well, judging by the success of the mission to date.
"We're pinching ourselves," says Grotzinger, who oversees the elite group of planetary-science specialists who will try to wring as much knowledge as possible out of the rover's instruments. "All the instruments have passed their 'liveness' checks. Everything is fine, as far as we can tell."
However, Grotzinger cautions that the true health of some of the more sophisticated instruments, such as the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM), will not be confirmed for "weeks, if not months" because of the many complex subsystems in play. SAM is the largest of the 10 instruments on Curiosity. It combines in a single microwave-oven-sized box three analytical tools that the space agency says would take up a "good portion" of a standard laboratory on Earth. Using samples collected with Curiosity's 6.2-ft. robotic arm, SAM will study chemistry relevant to life, and check for carbon-based compounds with mass and laser spectrometers and a gas chromatograph.
However, before Curiosity can feed any samples to the SAM or perform any other geochemistry, JPL must continue the process of slowly morphing Curiosity from a preprogrammed spacecraft into a fully-functioning, tactical, mobile laboratory. The process is divided into two major commissioning phases, CAP1 and CAP2. The initial part, CAP1, is itself divided into two, with CAP1A just completed, says Grotzinger. This included activating Curiosity's remote-sensing suite of cameras and instruments, including the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) weather station and the Radiation Assessment Detector, both of which automatically began collecting data about conditions at the landing site after touchdown.
Cameras commissioned in CAP1A included the mast-mounted Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam), Navigation Camera (Navcam) and Mast Camera. Navcam imaged the sky after landing to help pinpoint the craft's location and precisely aim Curiosity's high-gain communications antenna toward Earth. The new flight-software (version 10.0) was then uploaded Aug. 10-13. During the delicate operation, which optimized Curiosity's primary and backup computers for surface operations, engineers halted the transfer of spectacular surface imagery already collected by the cameras to keep the complex software reload as simple as possible. The new load includes improved image processing for obstacles and other potential hazards, which will aid the rover's driving autonomy, as well as software for controlling the tools at the end of Curiosity's robotic arm.
JPL is now in CAP1B, which delves into the heart of commissioning the bulk of the rover's science instruments as well as the actuators for the wheels and other elements of the mobility system. Instruments commissioned in this phase include the Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN), a Russian-built instrument that will fire neutrons into the ground below the rover in search of hydrogen atoms signifying water.
Also to be commissioned will be the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer, which identifies chemical elements, as well as parts of the SAM and Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) experiments. "The REMS will also begin diurnal observations that it will do for the rest of the mission," Grotzinger says.
The ChemCam, which incorporates a Thales-made laser capable of ionizing rock or soil up to 23 ft. away, will be given additional health checks. As the target is zapped with the laser, the instrument observes the glowing spot of plasma with its telescopic lens and analyzes the light to identify chemical elements. Testing will include the first passive spectra checks and evaluation of the instrument's pointing characteristics. After all the "jostling around" on Curiosity's long journey to Mars, the team will point it at a calibration target to "find out how much slack there is in the mechanism," Grotzinger says.
The CAP1B will take "no fewer than six sols [Martian days], and up to 10 to complete," Grotzinger estimates. By the end of 1B, "we will be able to use ChemCam as an instrument for the first time, and we will look at burn marks in rocks and soil with the remote imager," he says.
Other work will include checks of the rover's steering actuators and mechanism, as well as tests in CAP2 of the surface-sampling system mounted on Curiosity's arm. As part of that process, controllers will move the arm and its various drills and sieves for the first time. "We will unstow and stow the robotic arm—sort of stretch it out," Grotzinger adds.
Also slated for checkout is the functioning of inlet covers designed to prevent stray material from entering the SAM and chemical instruments.
"At the end of 1B, we've set an entire day aside for a set of rover mobility tests concerned with actuation and wheel-rotation tests," Grotzinger says. After this, the team will enter an "intermission" phase while it faces the choice of whether to move the rover first, or "roll straight into CAP2" for final instrument checkouts.
However, "there are a few activities we'd like to do like calibrate the mast camera and ChemCam laser," Grotzinger says. "We could do an instrument test on the tunable laser spectrometer because, as we go through CAP2, the principal investigators would benefit from having the data to chew over while the drill and sampling system are checked."
As a result, the intermission will therefore likely include these tasks, and "if we want to drive to a distance of say 500 meters [1,640 ft.], then we have the option of getting the first 100 to 200 meters out of the way while we're dealing with CAP2," he says.
Given progress to date, the team is leaning toward using the intermission for a drive on Sol 15. "It will just be a short drive—a few meters," says MSL Mission Manager Michael Watkins. The initial maneuver will include a drive forward, followed by a turn and then a reverse. "We want to turn in an area that we can see," he adds.

O'Reilly falsely claimed Best Buy employee confirmed ban on "Merry Christmas"
Research ››› ››› BEN ARMBRUSTER
On the December 19 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly continued to assert that "Best Buy orders its employees not to say 'Merry Christmas.' " O'Reilly said that he got this information from "Best Buy employees," falsely claiming that he "had one on the radio today." As Media Matters for America recently noted, a Best Buy spokesperson denied that the company forbids employees to say "Merry Christmas" to customers. A caller on the December 19 broadcast of O'Reilly's nationally syndicated radio show, who claimed that employees at Best Buy "are not allowed to say Merry Christmas" and "could get fired" for doing so, identified herself as a Best Buy customer, not an employee.
On The Radio Factor, O'Reilly also said: "I just don't want some store chain telling their employees they can't say Merry Christmas," adding: "That kind of fascism doesn't play with me." He also reiterated his baseless claim that Best Buy forbids its employees to say Merry Christmas: "[I]f you tell your employee you can't say it [Merry Christmas] as Best Buy did, then I'm going to expose Best Buy and I'm going to tell you who they are. Oh, they hate that. Ooh, do they hate that."
O'Reilly then spoke to the aforementioned caller, who claimed that when shopping at Best Buy, the store manager told her that Best Buy employees "are not allowed to say Merry Christmas" and that another employee said to her: "I could get fired for this, but you are two nice ladies: Merry Christmas." No Best Buy employee appeared on the December 19 edition of The Radio Factor.
From the December 19 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Now for the top story tonight. Another look at this from the atheistic point of view. Joining us now from Washington, Laurie Lipman Brown, director of the Secular Coalition for America. You know, I tried to join up. You haven't -- did you get my application yet, Ms. Brown?
BROWN: We don't have members, just supporters. You can sign up for our e-alerts on secular.org.
O'REILLY: OK, excellent. All right. Now, am I overdoing this? Am I misstating anything?
BROWN: I think you're focusing on the secular aspects of Christmas, which I find somewhat ironic that you're looking at retail stores and these secular aspects, rather than the sacred aspects that most Christians I know focus on.
O'REILLY: Well, how do you know I'm not focused on the sacred aspects? How do you know what I do? I'm just focused on -- and the only reason retail stores came into play was because they ordered -- Best Buy orders its employees not to say "Merry Christmas," according to Best Buy employees. We had one on the radio today.
From the December 19 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: Here's the litmus test, [caller]. "Have a good Christmas" is fine. That's just like "Merry Christmas." It's just, you know, you don't say the same thing. But here's always the litmus test if you want -- and you go in -- and I did this the other day -- I walked in and -- to get a gift certificate. And I said to the lady, "I need a gift certificate for Christmas." All right. So she knew right away where I was coming from. Now, I expected her, after she gave me the gift certificate, to say, "Merry Christmas." She said, "Happy Holidays." Now, that, to me, was obnoxious. I said, "Merry Christmas," and then I left.
Now, did I make a big deal out of it? No. And I don't care. But I -- it's the little experiment thing. So when you buy something, you look the person in the eye and you say, "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays." I -- you know, say both in case they're Muslim or Jewish or whatever. Even though that shouldn't matter, I think that's what you do, and then you see what they say back.
But anyway, it's always an interesting experiment. And I don't really care. To me, I just don't want some store chain telling their employees they can't say "Merry Christmas." See, that's why I got involved. That kind of fascism doesn't play with me. All right. And that's been distorted by these far-left columnists who say I'm trying to run around make everybody say "Merry Christmas." I'm not. I don't care. But if you tell your employee you can't say it, as Best Buy did, then I'm going to expose Best Buy. And I'm going to tell you who they are. Oh, they hate that. Ooh, do they hate that.
E.D. HILL (co-host): Are they still doing that?
O'REILLY: Yes. Best Buy is to the end, to the end.
HILL: OK. They'll probably see a difference --
O'REILLY: I'm going to look at their earnings, I'm going to look at their earnings, yep. And we have [caller] in Houston's going to back me up. Right, [caller]?
CALLER: I sure am, Bill. And I should've listened to you before. But like a nitwit, I went into a Best Buy with my daughter. We were buying underprivileged children gifts, and we spent $3,000. I'm not kidding. And they ended up being liars, number one. But second of all, we were told by the manager of the store, they are not allowed to say "Merry Christmas." Corporate says no. And he said, "I myself" -- and his name is John in Houston -- said, "I bought a Christmas tree, and they will not let me put it up. We can't play Christmas music, we can't say Merry Christmas." And at the end, after all this -- because it took us eight hours to get them out of their lie, but regardless -- one of the ladies said to us, "I could get fired for this, but you are two nice ladies: Merry Christmas."
O'REILLY: OK. Well, I'm glad you called, [caller]. Now everybody can make up their mind about Best Buy. Because I -- you know, what [the caller] is telling you is what I told you a month ago. And there it is.

Drew McCormack needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 196 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
We need a logo for our new indy dev shop "The Mental Faculty". We develop software for the Mac and iPhone, targeting science and education --- you could say 'intellectual' software. The logo could draw on concepts such as thinking, or a fictional university research faculty called 'The Mental Faculty'.
The Mental Faculty
'The Mental Faculty' is a newly formed company, and we need a logo to preferably relate that we are about intellectual pursuits such as studying and doing research.
The logo could relate to the intellectual aspect of our software, drawing on concepts such as thought and thinking, or places like university faculties.
Some ideas that we had ourselves, which are by no means a requirement were:
1) A big button with a cartoon thought balloon engraved on it.
2) A wooden sign like you see at universities on the grass in front of a building, with 'The Mental Faculty' on it. Around the base would be a little grass or plants. It should conjure up the idea of a magical place where exciting things happen (like you might imagine Google to be).
There is also room for some fun: the logo could play with the 'mental' aspect, as in 'crazy' or 'nuts'. (Our main product is even called 'Mental Case'.) But this should be quite subtle: we don't want a full on cartoon of a crazy person.
- Preferably imply 'intellectual' in some way
- The words 'The Mental Faculty' should appear somewhere.
- Completely comical logo. It can be fun, but we make serious software too, so it can't be a complete joke.

(Reuters) - The Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to a six-year contract extension with goaltender Corey Crawford, the National Hockey League team said on Monday.
Crawford, 28, went 16-7 with a league-best 1.84 goals-against average during the 2013 postseason to help the Blackhawks clinch their second Stanley Cup title in four seasons.
He registered a 19-5-5 record with three shutouts, a 1.94 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage in 30 regular-season appearances last season for Chicago.
Selected by the Blackhawks in the second round of the 2003 draft, Crawford has gone 83-43-19 with eight shutouts, a 2.40 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in 152 career games for the team.

Honeywell CEO Bangs Drum for Federal Reform
By Jon Kamp
Honeywell CEO David Cote used a speech in Boston to warn of the nation's debt problems.
Looking at the latest CBO deficit estimates, he talks about the ways reality could make the numbers worse than expected and that the US isn't leaving much room for error.
Cote, who has been a major player in D.C. trying to broker a deal on fiscal issues between lawmakers and the Obama administration, warns the U.S. needs to address mandatory spending, not just discretionary, and reduce debt by $4 trillion.
"At the end of the day, we need both entitlement reform and tax reform," said Cote, a Simpson-Bowles member who's been playing a big role in pushing for fiscal changes.

The Warwick Vets girls' soccer team is loving life in Division II. The 'Canes won both their games last week, and are now off to a 6-1 start. They defeated perennial contender Mount St. Charles 1-0 on Tuesday and then defeated East Providence 3-0 on Thursday.
Nicole Luiz, Sloan Kinney and Kat Raposo all scored against the Townies, while Emily Almonte added an assist. In net, Katelen Pick made five saves to earn the shutout.
With 18 points, the 'Canes are leading Division II, although they are technically still behind Lincoln and Pilgrim, both of which have played one fewer game than Vets and are still unbeaten at 5-0-1.
Vets' only loss on the season was a 3-2 defeat to Scituate on Sept. 19.
The 'Canes should have a good opportunity to add to their win total on Thursday, when they travel to 1-2-3 Tiverton for a 4 p.m. game. After that, Vets plays Johnston and Narragansett before a showdown with Pilgrim on Oct. 15.

2008 Toe Jam Winch Final
It was a Toe Jam first, as the pool jam/winch contest moved from the muddy shores of the Projects to the sandy shores of OWC. Scott Byerly and several of the other riders had hand built the pool gap, complete with two extra long ledges and a serious gap for Friday night's festivities.
In grand Toe Jam tradition things got off to a slow start. There were some technical difficulties with the winch set up. Since the pool emptied out into the PWC beginner course, which has a lake on the other side, the winch was floating on a barge. A few bungee cords were securing the boat, but when the riders would go, it would pull the winch towards them. The executive decision was made to just pull with the Sea Doo, so it wasn't really a "winch jam" per se, but it made things a lot faster and safer.
The competition consisted of four heats of four, with the best trick advancing to the finals. Ben Horan took the first heat with a noseslide shuv. Andrew Pastura got through his heat with a noseslide. Clint Tompkins silently shredded his way to the final with a backlip shuv, and Reed Hansen shook things up, throwing a 180 over the gap.
The sun went down and the lights came up. It was like a Paris Hilton sighting with the paparazzi and their flashes all around the pool. DJ Dan-CE made magic happen on the PA and the crowd was about loose enough to have a really good time.
The final four got 45 minutes to throw the best trick, but it was only Clint who was really able to best himself. He held the lead, then took it over not once but twice, finally taking the whole event with a backlip 270 shuv. Oh wait, we are not supposed to know that until tomorrow, but I think it's ok to let this cat out of the bag.
See everyone bright and early at the cable tomorrow! Toe Jam 2008 is nearly a wrap.

LavaZZa needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 381 designs submitted by 58 freelance designers.
Hi, we are a fresh new German equestrian boots ("horseshoe") store in the web. We would like to have a logo for our new online shop.
Equestrian boots are a trendy topic here in Germany, especially in the cold German winters. Women love these boots, and we would like to have a logo which shows the passion we have with these shoes.
Here are some impressions of our products (equestrian boots):
* http://bit.ly/dt1ap2
* http://bit.ly/bkHQvw
* http://bit.ly/8ZMFtr
Our web adress is "Reiterstiefel.de" ("Reiterstiefel" is the German word for "equestrian boots", so we have the leading domain in this niche) ( http://www.reiterstiefel.de ).
We want to build up a new brand in Germany on a long-term base. This logo should help us with that. Our web shop has roundabout 100 shoes, all of them in different sizes.
The logo should attract 17-39 year old women who are very passionate about shoes and boots. They love their shoes as much as in the movie "Desparate Housewives" or "Sex and the City".
They usually have dozens of shoes in their shoe cabinet, but the fresh new look of equestrian boots attracts them to buy a pair of them, too.
Our market is the shoe market. With "Reiterstiefel.de" we have got the leading address for "Reiterstiefel" (in english: "equestrian boots").
If people see the new logo for "Reiterstiefel.de" the first time, they should get these feelings:
1. Looks like a big brand. Looks like the logo of a big, trusty brand.
2. Trust. This logo looks trustworthy.
3. Modern. Fashion! These equestrian boots are a "must-have" in this fashion autumn!
4. Wow! They really love shoes, especially equestrian boots.
The logo could contain this two parts:
A. An outstanding, recognizable symbol or icon which should describe the sense of equestrian boots. We would like to add this icon for example on the bottom of our letters and as a favicon of our website. Just like Adidas does it with its stripes.
B. The name of our company's brand ("Reiterstiefel.de").
(If you have got a creative idea for a logo without a separate symbol, just send it to us. We are always open for fresh, new ideas!)

Bri Zine
Bri Zine is a zinester, musician and poet from Kent, Ohio. Bri Zine is an alias, and not the title of a zine.
She was first introduced to zines in 1999 after finding the zine "Positive Youth" in her father's room after he passed away, and soon after read the book Zine Scene: The Do It Yourself Guide to Zines by Francesca Lia Block and Hilary Carlip. She began publishing her own zines in 2000 and has made 28 zines to date.
She has been in four bands- So Ricki, This City's Silence, Ragdoll Radio, and her current band, Some Sort of Mistress. She attended an arts high school for creative writing and photography, and is currently in her third year of college as an English major and Creative Writing minor. She writes poetry on a regular basis and plans to become a poetry professor, with hopes of infusing her work with zines into her courses.
Bri Zine once ran the distro Raw Daylight Distro, which became Thee Evil Toaster Pastry Brigade. It was closed in 2004.

Jonathan Winters: when TV was surprising
The passing of improv master Jonathan Winters Thursday at 87 brings a flood of fond memories of his character inventions, from Maude Frickert to Princess Leilani-nani, "the world's oldest hula dancer," to the wood nymphs.
The magic he worked with props! Mainly, though, it's his manic energy, the sense that anything could happen on live TV in his wild bursts of creativity, that we remember.
Robin Williams shared his bipolar disorder, but never lost control. Winters really went there, checking himself into an institution at one point. In an interview with TV critics in 2000, he commented, "I'm bipolar now. I was just a manic-depressive. Now I'm bipolar and I haven't been to either pole." Viewers had the sensation that he was on the verge of being taken advantage of by networks, producers, hosts who set him loose on camera.

SENECA — Coming off a season during which it batted .221 with just 39 extra-base hits, the Seneca varsity baseball team knows offensive improvement is a must in 2013.
The cupboard is not entirely bare for veteran coach Kirk Houchin. The only FIghting Irish 2012 All-Interstate Eight Conference selection, Brian Bergeson, returns after batting .299 with team highs in doubles (7) and home runs (3).
Brian Bergeson is likely to play left field when he is not pitching for the Irish.
"Obviously I'm looking to grow off of (the All-Conference season), and help my team as best I can," Bergeson said. "We had not so good a year last year, but we're hoping to bounce back strong."
Fellow senior Logan Pifer is likely to start next t Bergeson in center field. Pifer had a .320 batting average last season, which was highest among players with more than 12 at-bats. But only one other position — shortstop, where senior Brent Bergeson will play most of the time when not pitching — is solidified for the Irish.
Seniors Daniel Hamilton and Nick Kirkton and juniors Brandon Pasdertz and Luke Sohan are battling for Seneca's third-base job, with Hamilton also likely to fill in elsewhere. Seniors Trent Nugent and Ryan Schuetz and juniors Cole Klicker and James Miller are all options at second base. Seniors Chris Lee and Josh Rohder and junior Chance Gonnam — who was the top hitter for Seneca's sophomore team in 2012 — will play at first base.
In right field, juniors Austin Applebee and Conlan Callahan are competing, with Callahan also the back-up shortstop. And sophomore Matt Houchin and Hamilton are options at catcher.
"We're seeing signs of (better offense)," coach Houchin said. "These juniors, when they were sophomores, scored a lot of runs. They're kind of an offensive group."
Brent and Brian Bergeson, Pasdertz, Rohder, Applebee and Schuetz are expected to be the primary members of Seneca's pitching staff.
"We have a lot of returning guys, especially in our pitching staff. That should be our biggest strength, our pitching. I feel we can get guys out," Brent Bergeson said. "The big question mark is in our hitting, but I do think we'll hit a lot better. We should be able to get guys on and get guys in. Then we just have to hope our defense comes through behind it all."
Seneca went 2-14 in Interstate Eight Conference play last season to go with its 7-19 overall record.
"The guys are expecting big things. They've set goals for themselves of winning 20 games and competing for a conference championship. We haven't won one for three years now after winning two in a row," coach Houchin said.
"On our side (of the conference), Coal City is the bar that we set ourselves by. ... The teams that we typically do well against have improved a lot in the past few years. Teams like Westmont and Sandwich, and even Dwight."
Seneca is scheduled to open Thursday at Mendota, but the game looked iffy, Houchin said Monday, due to the weather. The conditions outside have given the Irish more reason than usual to revel in their annual spring trip to southern Illinois, which begins Monday with a game at Pleasant Plains.
"It's always something to look forward to," Brian Bergeson said. "We're looking forward to getting out and playing and hopefully enjoying some nice weather."
Seneca baseball team knows it needs to hit
SENECA — Coming off a season during which it batted .221 with just 39 extra-base hits, the Seneca varsity baseball team knows offensive improvement is a must in 2013.

Here's a brand you've probably never heard of. Apparently a Czech product, Kord was available in two styles, regular and zubrowka.
From the October 1956 issue of Playboy.
As I remember it, Kord vodka was a potato vodka and was served at the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan – just east of Carnegie Hall on 57th St.
I just read – in a letter on another site – that Kord was distilled from white beets and that this is mentioned in a 1950s ad in Playboy. Nevertheless, it is my distinct memory that the label said it was potato vodka.

Environmental Tuesday: Native Plants at NYU
Posted by

As I perused The Green Issue of Preservation Magazine the other night, one of my favorite features was about George Reis, the supervisor of sustainable landscaping at NYU. He created a garden on campus that features only species indigenous to New York City. You'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of these native plants in the city today, and Mr. Reis is using them as part of his grander plan to maximize the use of the small green spaces at NYU. To learn more, check out this video on YouTube:
Risking sounding like a broken record, I'll remind you all that Preservation is a great magazine. When you join The National Trust for Historic Preservation, your $20 fee to join includes a subscription. To join or to make a donation, click here. They will put your donation to good use!
Also, if you want to benefit from all of Mr. Reis's plant research, there is a list of the plants used and where to buy them here.

Shutdown Talk Over, Switch to Guns in Sioux Falls City Hall
It stands to reason that Sioux Falls is concerned about safety at Carnegie Town Hall. The latest rumblings from the City Council include some help from the state legislature about regulating guns within the walls of city government.
On Wednesday October 9 in Long Island, New York a man was distraught about trees being removed from his property. He was charged with making a terroristic threat and the town hall was evacuated as a precaution.
In August of this year, three people in Pennsylvania were killed in a town hall shooting.
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin is debating the same subject as Sioux Falls. Following the logic of other communities that are looking into protecting themselves, Sioux Falls city leaders are wise to consider safety measures as well.

TAYLOR, Mich. - Taylor's Kennedy High School is facing the same bed bugs problem that a Taylor elementary school faced just two weeks ago, and classes still are in session.
Read back: Taylor school finds bed bugs in books
High school administrators sent parents a letter Wednesday about the problem, which read in part, "Bed bugs were discovered in the classroom today at Kennedy. Once the bugs were discovered, the students were moved to another room and that affected room has been quarantined."
After school, a pesticide company treated the affected area. School leaders say a stronger treatment will be applied this weekend.
For now, students are not allowed to bring backpacks. The items they do bring to school must be in clear plastic bags.
For at least one parent, that's not enough.
"I would like them to go ahead and close the school," said JoAnn Reno, who has two daughters at the high school. "I checked the girls today from top to bottom when they came home. I took the vacuum and literally vacuumed them."

The Texas Rangers plan to purchase the contract of right-hander Justin Grimm from Double-A Frisco to start Saturday night against Houston.
The Rangers said Thursday that the promotion of Grimm for his major league debut and other corresponding moves will be made before Saturday's game.
When Grimm is purchased, Texas plans to put right-hander Koji Uehara on the 15-day disabled list to clear a spot on the 25-man roster. Uehara's move will be retroactive to Sunday, a day after the reliever sustained a strained back muscle pitching at San Francisco.
To get Grimm on the 40-man roster, the Rangers will transfer right-hander Neftali Feliz from the 15-day to 60-day disabled list.
Grimm will start in place of righty Alexi Ogando, on the DL with a strained groin sustained Sunday.

Apparently there's no need to turn back time for either Cher or Demi Moore. Both women were on hand for the AFI Night at the Movies (presented by Target) event at the Arclight Hollywood theater on Wednesday April 24, where several recent classic films (from Steel Magnolias to Moonstruck) were screened and introduced by stars. Cher, 66, and Moore, 51, happily posed for a joint photo together — and, comparing a similar snapshot of the twosome together from 1996, both women look better than ever.
Back at the October 1996 premiere of HBO film If These Walls Could Talk, Moore sported a shaved head from her role in the infamous army flop G.I. Jane; as smooth-faced then as she is now, "Believe" singer Cher rocked her trademark black hair in sultry waves holding hands with Moore. (At the time, Moore was still married to Bruce Willis; they divorced four years later.)
Before introducing a screening of her film Ghost, Moore had an intense, 10-minute one-on-one chat with Cher in the VIP Lounge, according to an onlooker. Sipping bottled water, "Demi was transfixed by what Cher was saying and was completely focused on her," the observer tells Us Weekly.
Moore, wearing Sorellina's Victoria Serpente Spiral Earrings, cracked up the audience as she introduced 1990's Ghost, in which she costarred with the late Patrick Swayze. "How many of you have seen the film?" she asked as the crowd applauded in response. "And then how many virgins? I ask because we shot this film in 1989, and for me, I always kind of keep track of the events based on my children, and my oldest daughter turned one during the shooting," she explained in a reference to her daughter Rumer Willis. "She will be 25 this year! And it's pretty shocking to think about that this was made 25 years ago, and being a part of something that has had the beauty of truly standing up against the test of time."

Highlander wrote:Well, i guess my post is getting to a place where it shouldn't be. It's getting too off-topic. I did start the subject about astral planes but it was just because i'm still questioning those themes.
I've been reading all of your posts without interfering and, like Hagart said here, i'm just taking away from this what i want, or leave what i want and decide for myself. I thank all of the responses. We have here a scientific sides, spiritual sides, etc. Thanks, guys.
I am not much of a religious person. I mean, i was raised catholic, taught about heaven, God and whatnot, but as time went by i started to take a more scientific approach and making my own mind. Most of it i don't believe. I think some of the spiritual stories can be proven by scientific facts. And some of them has been proven. But i also question other things. I believe that some spiritual stories are true. I believe all of the sides have their theories and some of them are wrong too. Science is not 100% right. Science has been proving facts that later were wrong, they have contradicted themselves and all that. If, for example, you watch the "Through the wormhole" series, you'll see why 1 theory has different and proven approaches just in science alone. Science sometimes says things like: "It is proven that beer causes damage to your health". Years later: "Now we prove that after all, beer is good for the bones." Years later: "Well, we prove that beer is good preventing cancer." And then: "Well, after all, beer causes cancer." (I'm just improvising here, joking a little, but you get the point). I read stuff like that all the time.
I think this discussions are healthy. But i think we should respect one another and not acusing someone that believes in another thing.
Summerlander said: "Do you believe in a soul? My argument is, why believe in something you have absolutely no evidence for? Unless you would like it to be true and would rather not hear the truth if it turns out to be unpleasant..."
I believe something like this was said many many years (or even centuries) ago about lucid dreaming. "Lucid dreaming? Being conscious while unconscious? Being lucid in a dream? There's is no evidence for it. This doesn't exist." And then, someone prove it scientifically. How can anyone say that many years from now, someone will not prove scientifically that there is a soul?
This is just my opinion. I'm just an open-minded person. I believe in science and i believe in spirituality. If people read something was proven scientifically and believe it, why can't people read something was proven spiritualy and not believe it? I mean, all of the OBE stories, afterlife, reincarnation, all from centuries ago until now, the stories being similar and all... are ALL "bull"?
I believe open-mindness is the key to this forum, or at least, i guess it should be.
I couldn't agree more Highlander, I enjoyed reading that

By Car
From the South
Take Highway 101 North over the Golden Gate Bridge and exit on Alexander Avenue. Stay to the right as you exit and then drive a short distance to the first road on your left (the road isn't clearly marked, but it's called Bunker Road). Take a left onto Bunker Road and you'll come to a one-way tunnel. Drive through when prompted and then follow the directions under "From the Tunnel" below.
From the North
Take Highway 101 South to the second exit for Sausalito (this is the final exit before you hit the Golden Gate Bridge). As you come off the exit, take a right. Follow the road as it curves back under the highway, and take the first left you encounter (the road isn't clearly marked, but it's called Bunker Road). Take a left onto Bunker Road and you'll come to a one-way tunnel. Drive through when prompted and then follow the directions under "From the Tunnel" below.
From the Tunnel
When you're out of the tunnel, continue on Bunker Road into the Headlands. After about 2 miles, you'll come to a fork in the road (Field Road); there'll be a sign on your right that points the way to various locations (including the hostel). Take a left at the fork, then take your first left, then go left again. You'll be on a road that curves up the hill, running behind the Headlands Center for the Arts. Continue a little further and you'll see the hostel; parking is on the far side of the building.
By Public Transportation
Public transit to the Headlands runs on Saturdays, Sundays, and some holidays. Take MUNI bus #76X from San Francisco to the Marin Headlands Visitors Center stop. From there, the hostel is a short walk up the hill and to your left. Read more here.

This week's offers:
Finding a Breitling for under €5,000 should not be too hard. The brand offers a number of great timepieces in this price range. Whether you are into modern-looking pieces or prefer classic lines, Breitling has something for you. For this special Breitling Week Editor's Picks, I chose one of the most popular Héritage models: the 42-mm Breitling Superocean Héritage II. This watch looks as modern as any Breitling gets while maintaining a certain vintage feel.
Inspired by the 1960s Superocean, the Héritage II has similar sword-shaped hands, large indices, and the same "Superocean" inscription at 6 o'clock as its vintage counterpart. However, it is larger, its case is a bit bulkier, and the overall feel of the watch is, of course, much more modern and sturdy. If you go for the version with a shark mesh bracelet, you're getting a great and functional sports (diving) watch. Pair it with a nice leather strap, and suddenly you have an all-around timepiece.
What do you think of when you hear the term "bullhead"? Surely not watches. Yet the term is widely used in the watch community to refer to a number of models. Take the Breitling Chrono-Matic Pupitre ref. 7101 a.k.a. the "Bullhead" as an example. It's a crazy looking watch, I'll give you that. Breitling's 1970s DNA is clearly there with the large steel case, loud colors, and unusual case shape.
Bullhead watches get their nickname from the chronograph pushers on the top of their cases 1 and 11 o'clock, which look like a bull's horns. Unlike many Bullhead timepieces, the Breitling Pupitre's crown is sunken into the case at 6 o'clock. Despite its odd looks, the Breitling Bullhead was – and to some degree still is – a very usable watch. The position of the pushers allows the wearer to operate the chronograph function more easily. The large dial and distinct colors make the watch easier to read. Today the Breitling Bullhead is clearly more of a collector's item than a functional tool. Still, its charm and place in the brand's history are appreciated by fans the world over.
I think we can all agree that when you think of Breitling, one model pops into most everyone's head: the Breitling Navitimer. I'm not saying the brand relies on only this one model. I also do not wish to degrade the other model lines, such as the Superocean and the Chronomat. However, the truth is that the Navitimer is not only a legendary Breitling but also one of the most recognizable watches of all time. Period.
Breitling's release of the first Navitimer model in 1952 was way ahead of its time. Keep in mind, Omega only announced their iconic Speedmaster in 1957 and Rolex the Daytona in 1963. While every brand was already producing other chronographs beforehand, the Navitimer (as well as the Speedmaster and Daytona) continues to draw upon the design and technical features of its original model. The history of the Navitimer is so rich that this article is barely enough to even scratch the surface. From historical flights to space missions and beyond, the Breitling Navitimer lived up to its name as a navigation tool for pilots around the globe.
