In previous work by Uytterhoeven et al. (2011) the Kepler object KIC 9204718 (HD 176843) was identified as a binary system with a d Scuti-type component. Both long- and short-cadence data were obtained from the MAST archive and analyzed. In this paper we show the results of period analysis on one quarter of short-cadence data in which were obtained two pulsation periods, the dominant of which has a period of 0.026479 day and the secondary of 0.029068 day, respectively. We also present the interesting light curve of the object over several quarters of long-cadence data sets.

Valentine's Day is almost here, and while it is getting closer by the minute, it's not too late to make some lovely cookies for your sweetheart! These cookies are pretty perfect for a Valentine's party or fun project. You can make them as simple or detailed as you like, and who can resist a delicious decorated sugar cookie?
I made these cookies with a clever cookie set that lets you use texture mats to imprint the details into fondant. The cookies look intricate and detailed, yet the process is very straightforward. If you have shaky hands and shy away from piping, this set is perfect. With the texture mats, you can get the look of a beautifully piped cookie, without the work. The cookies are beautiful plain or embellished, and mistakes can always be eaten! See below for a step by step on making these cookies.
First you need to start with an excellent sugar cookie recipe. This one is my favorite; the dough is so irresistible that a lot of the cookies don't even make it to the oven!
Once you've got your cookies baked and cooled, now it is time to decorate! This is the fun part! To decorate about 14 cookies you will need about 7 ounces of fondant. Use any colors you like. To get the pink color I used, use a 3 to 1 ratio of Wilton rose gel coloring and Americolor burgundy gel paste. For 7 ounces of fondant I used 3 drops burgundy and 9 toothpicks (half dipped) of the rose coloring. While I generally stick with Americolor gel paste, I prefer the Wilton rose color to the Americolor pinks. I sometimes end up with too much of a Pepto-Bismol pink with the Americolor and with the Wilton Rose you can achieve more of a raspberry.
You want to roll your fondant to about 1/8″ thick. Spray your texture mats with non-stick spray and wipe away the excess. You can press the mat into the fondant using either side of the mat. One side will make a raised impression and the other will make an indented impression. I opted for the indented impression with the exception of the love mat. It only works one way or else the writing will end up backwards.
If you have trouble with the texture mat sticking to the fondant try to let the fondant set out a bit (5-10 minutes) after you roll it, or use a tiny bit of cornstarch on top of the fondant to make it less sticky. I think these look lovely just imprinted, but for extra oomph you can add some piped dots at the intersection of the lines on the quilted cookies, and some painted accents to the love and baroque heart cookies.
To paint the accents I use a mixture of Wilton White Pearl Dust, Vodka, Royal Icing, and gel paste (1 drop Americolor Sky Blue and 2 drops Americolor Teal). Just mix the gel paste, pearl dust, vodka, and royal icing until you get the consistency of paint. The royal icing is optional. I added it because I had made it already to pipe the dots on the quilted heart. It makes the "paint" a little bit thicker and more opaque. If you don't use it, the paint will just be a bit more transparent. They key to painting the details is using a teeny tiny brush. I used the very smallest one I have.
To pipe the dots on the quilted cookie, I used a #2 tip, and added a 1:2 ratio of sky blue and aqua to get the turquoise colored royal icing. After you have piped the dots, look back to see if there are any pointy dots. If so, just press down gently with the tip of your finger to smooth the peak into a nice rounded dot. As long as your icing has not set too long, this should work. To attach the fondant hearts to the cookies, I used just a bit of thinned royal icing (since I already had it) spread over the cookie, and then just gently pressed down to get the fondant to adhere. You could also use piping gel if you have it on hand. I hope you have fun with this project. There are so many variations and possibilities! I would love to see your designs, so please post a picture if you give it a try!

- Cut out shapes and place cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet (or cookie sheet lined with a non-stick baking mat) and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just slightly brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer cookies to a cooling rack and enjoy or let cool completely and then decorate!

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about……more mouth watering family dinners! While I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen, keeping the menu fresh and interesting can pose some challenges, particularly with everyone's ever changing busy schedules and picky palettes.

Make the butter earlier in the day or even the week. When it's time to cook the chicken you'll be finished in a snap!
Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic cloves with the salt until a nice paste forms
In a small bowl, combine;
Garlic paste
Salt and pepper to taste
Refrigerate until ready to use
In a large skillet, melt half the herbed butter over medium heat
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper
Place chicken breasts in skillet, covering while cooking for approximately 10 minutes
Flip over the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, just to be sure the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center
Remove chicken and place on a platter, tenting the chicken to keep it warm
In the nice pan juices, cook the tomatoes for about 5 minutes
Add the remaining herbed butter and continue to cook for about 1 more minute, crushing the tomatoes as you stir
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Smother chicken with tomato mixture and sprinkle with parsley
I paired our dinner with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. It was perfect!
More family dinners, more simple recipes, more easy chicken, more mouth watering goodness……

Still waiting to join the ranks of PlayStation Move owners? If the PlayStation 3's take on Wii Sports wasn't your cup of tea, Sony will soon be targeting the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank-loving crowd to get their Move on.
PlayStation Move Heroes will join Sports Champions as the other game in North America that gets a bundle packing in the PlayStation Eye and Move controller. A hundred bucks on March 22nd will get you a PlayStation Move Heroes bundle, complete with the motion-controlled adventures of Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, Clank, Sly and Bentley. (It does not come with a Navigation Controller, but suggests you get one.)
One catch: it looks like you can only get it at Toys R Us, if that's an obstacle.
Who out there is interested in PlayStation Move Heroes, by the way?

[UPDATE] Boston Police Say No Arrest Has Been Made in 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings
[UPDATE 1:39 p.m.] Contrary to prior reports, the Boston Police Department
is now saying no arrest has been made. We will continue to monitor the story and update this post with new information.
[UPDATE 12:50 p.m.] A suspect has reportedly been arrested in the Boston Marathon Bombing.
[ORIGINAL STORY] Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon Bombing.
FOX News confirms a possible breakthrough came from analysis of surveillance video from the Lord and Taylor's department store near the second blast.
King told CNN the image offers authorities a clear image of the potential suspect's face placing a package that authorities are looking for.
Local Boston TV station WHDH-TV also received photos of what looks to be one of the packages before and after one of the explosions.
710 KEEL will continue to offer updates on the Boston Marathon Explosions.

Dairy Greenhouse Gas ModelEntry ID: USDA_ARS_DairyGHG
Abstract: The Dairy Greenhouse Gas Model (DairyGHG) is a software tool for estimating the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint of dairy production systems. A dairy production system generally represents the processes used on a given farm, but the full system extends beyond the farm boundaries. A production system is defined to include emissions during the production of all feeds whether produced on ... the given farm or elsewhere. It also includes emissions that occur during the production of resources used on the farm such as machinery, fuel, electricity, and fertilizer. Manure is assumed to be applied to cropland producing feed, but any portion of the manure produced can be exported to other uses external to the system.
DairyGHG uses process-based relationships and emission factors to predict the primary GHG emissions from the production system. Primary sources include the net emission of carbon dioxide plus all emissions of methane and nitrous oxide occurring from the production system. Emissions are predicted through a daily simulation of feed use and manure handling. Daily emission values of each gas are summed to obtain annual values.
Carbon dioxide emissions include the net annual flux in feed production and daily values from animal respiration and microbial respiration in manure on the barn floor and during manure storage. The annual flux in feed production is that assimilated in the feed minus that in manure applied to cropland. Emission of carbon dioxide through animal respiration is a function of animal mass and daily feed dry matter intake and that from the barn floor is a function of ambient barn temperature and the floor surface area covered by manure. Emission from a manure storage is predicted as a function of the volume of manure in the storage using an emission factor. Finally, carbon dioxide emission from fuel combustion in farm engines is proportional to the amount of fuel used in the production and feeding of feeds and the handling of manure.
Methane emissions include those from enteric fermentation, the barn floor, manure storage, and feces deposited in pasture. Emission from enteric fermentation is a function of the metabolizable energy intake and the diet starch and fiber contents for the animal groups making up the herd. Daily emissions from the manure storage are a function of the amount of manure in the storage and the volatile solids content and temperature of the manure. Emissions following field application of manure are related to the volatile fatty acid content of the manure and the amount of manure applied. Emissions during grazing are proportional to the amount of feces deposited on the pasture and that emitted in the barn is a function of the manure deposited in the barn, barn temperature, and the floor area covered by the manure.
Nitrous oxide emissions are that emitted from crop and pasture land during the production of feeds with minor emissions from the manure storage and barn floor. An emission factor approach is used to estimate annual emissions in feed production where the emission is 1% of the N applied to cropland and 2% of that applied to pastureland. Emission from the crust on a slurry storage is a function of the exposed manure surface area.
Total greenhouse gas emission is determined as the sum of the net emissions of all three gases where methane and nitrous oxide are converted to carbon dioxide equivalent units (CO2e). The conversion to CO2e is done using global warming potentials for methane and nitrous oxide of 25 and 298, respectively. Therefore, each unit of methane is equal to 25 units of carbon dioxide and each unit of nitrous oxide is equal to 298 units of carbon dioxide.
The carbon footprint of milk production is defined as the net of all greenhouse gases assimilated and emitted in the production system divided by the total milk produced. This net emission is determined through a partial life cycle assessment of the production system. Emissions include both primary and secondary sources. As just described, primary emissions are those emitted from the farm or production system during the production process. Secondary emissions are those that occur during the manufacture or production of resources used in the production system. These resources include machinery, fuel, electricity, fertilizer, pesticides, and plastic. Secondary emissions from the manufacture of equipment are apportioned to the feed produced or mannure handled over their useful life. By totaling the net of all annual emissions from both primary and secondary sources and dividing by the annual milk produced by the production system, a carbon footprint is determined in units of CO2e per unit of milk.

Adam Wainwright (born August 30, 1981, in Brunswick, Georgia) is a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.
- It's hard to be a No. 1 when you're not even No. 1 on your team.
- referring to teammate Chris Carpenter in an interview with Rick Hummel [1].
- I'd like to think that on a lot of teams, I'd be a No. 1. The thing I do know is that every time I take the mound, in my mind I'm the best pitcher in the league.

I've been researching shopping cart designs, and so far it seems like the consensus is that the only thing you can update in a shopping cart is quantities. Let's say I've added a large t-shirt to the shopping cart. If I want to change this shift to different size, I'd have to:
- Go back to the shirt page
- Add the new size
- Return to the shopping cart
- Delete the original size
Why not allow the user to update the size (or whatever option) directly in the cart? It seems so obvious that this could be reduced to 2 clicks, yet none of the big players support this (or any at all that I've seen)
I've observed this quandary in Amazon.com, Zappos.com (shown above), as well as in web development frameworks which seem to not support the ability to update options in the cart, you can only update the quantity.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has announced that the agency intends to delay implementation of the ICD-10-CM code set for outpatient diagnosis coding.
Family physicians, along with the entire U.S. health care industry, have been gearing up to meet the government's Oct. 1, 2013, deadline to move from ICD-9 to ICD-10, but, according to an HHS news release(www.hhs.gov), the agency will announce a new compliance date sometime in the future.
"We have heard from many in the provider community who have concerns about the administrative burdens they face in the years ahead," said Sebelius in the release. "We are committing to work with the provider community to re-examine the pace at which HHS and the nation implement these important improvements to our health care system."
According to resources the AAFP developed to assist members in making the transition, the switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 will increase the number of diagnosis codes from about 14,000 to 69,000.
AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., told AAFP News Now, "I'm very encouraged that Secretary Sebelius has chosen to delay implementation of ICD-10. The AAFP has advocated on behalf of our members for a deadline extension because of the financial and administrative burden this transition places on all physicians and, particularly, those working in small practices.
"Any additional time granted by HHS will allow the Academy to provide more help to members as they prepare for this big change in their practices."

Don touched the lives of many people in our industry.
By Rick Lundquist, Ph.D.
Don Otterby, Professor Emeritus in dairy cattle nutrition and management at the University of Minnesota, passed away Friday, Oct. 5 at the age of 80. Don was my graduate program advisor, my mentor and my good friend.
|Dr. Don Otterby
Don had an outstanding career as a researcher, with many published papers on dairy nutrition and management. But teaching was his passion. Professors like Don are rare. "Publish or perish" is the rule in many universities, but Don always put students first. I was lucky to have him as my advisor, but he took any student that needed help and advice under his wing.
We had a great bunch of graduate students under Don's guidance during my tenure at the University of Minnesota. We affectionately called him "Chief." His graduate students still keep in touch and we all share the feeling that it was a privilege to be one of Otterby's students.
You could almost always find Chief seated at his big black table in lab 8 in the basement of Haecker Hall on the St. Paul farm campus. Early mornings, Saturdays, evenings – he could be found with papers strewn all over the table. I don't know how he got everything done. His door was always open and we all took advantage of this.
Chief emphasized that we wouldn't graduate with a cookbook containing all the answers. Cookbooks become outdated. He designed a course of study that would give us a broad foundation and would teach us to think and to reason. He was preparing us for an ever-evolving dairy industry. His philosophy is why I became a consultant.
Don was the recipient of many academic and research awards during his career. But that wasn't important to him. He was dedicated to the dairy industry and he was dedicated to educating students who would serve the dairy industry.
Don touched the lives of many people in our industry and in his community and his church. Chief was great teacher because he was always approachable and really listened to his students, plus he was just a heck of a guy. I'm privileged that he was my mentor and my friend. I will truly miss having him in my life.
Rick Lundquist is an independent nutrition and management consultant based in Duluth, Minn. Contact him at [email protected].

Ebook sales are continuing their surge, while print sales are in freefall. On the heels of the Borders Books debacle, and reports of Barnes & Noble further cutting shelf space in their stores, it is not a good time to be in the mainstream publishing industry -- especially if you are a traditionally published author struggling for bookstore exposure and an income.
Month after month, the statistics and reports continue to add up to a picture of an industry in chaotic upheaval. But that doesn't mean that authors can't do well if they pursue independent publishing.
David Gaughran provides the latest lucid overview.

September, 2010: Employer Provided Health Care may soon replace the most often quoted oxymorons such as "military intelligence" or "jumbo shrimp" as a 14% increased cost in employer provided health plans has been placed squarely on the shoulders of their employees this year.
The average employer provided health care family plan costs employees $4,000 out of pocket, up 14% according to recently released figures from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. That is the largest increase since 1999 and marked a departure from the normal 50/50 split between employers and employees.
The National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC) reports that total spending on health care was $2.3 trillion last year, equivalent to $7600 per person. Health insurance premiums for a family of four sky rocketed to $12,100 during this same period and single coverage premiums averaged more than $4,400 annually.
One tactic to save on health care is to buy high deductible "catastrophic" health insurance which is significantly less expensive (as much as 50%-75% less) however this strategy must be combined with a commitment towards exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
Walking has been shown clinically to prevent the onset of our nations leading diseases including Type 2 diabetes and some of the most virulent strains of cancer. "Consistent daily walking has been shown as an effective means of warding off disease, maintaining health and significantly decreasing the need for medical treatment, yet most Americans walk much less than the minimum recommended guidelines of 10,000 steps a day set by the Surgeon General due to the sedentary nature of our employment. As a result we have an overweight population with all of the health concerns that accompany issues of obesity," states TrekDesk founder Steve Bordley.
The good news is that exercise does not have to be overly strenuous. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that walking three times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes reduces the risk of mortality from disease by 57%. Excerpts of numerous medical studies illustrating the the positive impact of consistent daily walking in preventing numerous diseases can be found at TrekDesk's website.
Unfortunately 2/3 of the American population is now categorized as overweight according to the CDC and less than 10% of the population is exercising on a regular basis. While Congress must focus on ridding our health care system of excessive administrative costs, fraud and mismanagement there must also be a call for personal action. "Prevention through a healthier lifestyle and exercise should play an integral role in our growing health care crisis but few politicians wish to risk the backlash of telling Americans they need to get out of their chairs and start moving," according to Bordley.
Desperate for answers, some state governments are considering instituting a "carrot and stick approach" to medical insurance programs. Alabama recently enacted a $300.00 annual increase for health care premiums to state employees that do not meet minimum health requirements and are unwilling to join their state wellness plan. Other nations are instituting more stringent guidelines as well. Japan has implemented a national program fining corporations if their employees do not meet specific weight and waistline guidelines.
Rising health care costs and insurance premiums are taking the availability of health care out of the hands of millions and placing a tremendous burden on our economy according to the NCHC, accounting for approximately 16% of our current GDP and expected to rise to 20% of GDP in eight years.
With health care costs rising at 2-3 times the rate of inflation a proactive emphasis on prevention seems more critical now more than ever before. Treadmill desks offer a solution which empowers employees to take control of their personal health and reduce their costs of medical care at the same time.

Renting a pet-friendly apartment in Wintersville, OH
Moving can be a huge pain, even before you start packing all the stuff you ever accumulated and labeling boxes and all that fun stuff.

Every property will have extra details about pet restrictions and fees in their own description.
