Story highlights
- ESPN alerted authorities after the threats were posted last week
- "We aggressively monitor .. looking for any kind of threats that come in," says ESPN
- A 21-year-old California man was arrested with bail set at $1 million
A case against a California man, accused of making "terrorist threats" against children in posts on an ESPN blog, is expected to be presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office Wednesday morning, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Eric Yee, 21, was arrested Monday and was being held on $1 million bail, according to a news release from the sheriff department's Santa Clarita Valley station.
The number of comments and what specifically was written were not detailed in the news release, but it said "an unknown person posted on a blog that they were watching kids and did not mind murdering them. The blogger mentioned that it would be like the Aurora, Colorado, shooting."
Twelve people were killed and dozens injured during a shooting in a movie theater in Aurora in July.
Yee was believed to be living with his parents in a residence that overlooks an elementary school and a junior high school, according to the sheriff's department.
A search warrant was served at the location Monday and investigators found several firearms inside the residence, the sheriff's department said. Following the search, Yee was taken into custody and booked at the Santa Clarita Valley station, according to Deputy Joshua Dubin.
It was not clear why bond was set at $1 million for Yee.
Calls by CNN to a number believed to belong to Yee's family were not returned Tuesday, and the district attorney's office would not release information regarding whether he had an attorney.
ESPN alerted authorities to the posted threats, according to the sheriff's department and to an ESPN spokesman.
"This person posted a few comments on ESPN.com last Thursday that were of the threatening nature, so we called our local police and they took it from there," ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys told CNN. "We aggressively monitor those boards looking for any kind of threats that come in."
Los Angeles County Sherrif's Sgt. Darren Harris added, "The Internet service providers at one of the ESPN sites were very good and acted diligently in contacting police."

Reports from my somewhat unusual life

The moons of Saturn and Jupiter are just getting more and more intriguing. While many of those far-flung satellites might contain liquid oceans, a new report indicates that Dione, one of Saturn's icy moons, is surrounded by a thin layer of oxygen.
According to a new report published in Geophysical Research Letters, Cassini detected a thin layer of oxygen around the moon during its pass two years ago. It's not enough to qualify as an atmosphere, so researchers have dubbed it an "exosphere." The paper further suggests that highly charged particles from Saturn's radiation belt split Dione's ice water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating that small exosphere.
Unfortunately, if we do find life among Jupiter or Saturn's systems, it will have to be on another moon. Andrew Coates, a co-author on the paper, says that because Dione has no liquid water, it doesn't fulfill the conditions necessary to support life.

When people around the world think of Texas, I have found that images of Dallas, oil fields, and cattle ranches come to mind.
However, there is much more to our grand state than cattle barons and oil tycoons.
Citrus groves thrive in south Texas and the tall Piney Woods flourish in the east Texas red soil. Sand dunes and beach houses line the coast from Galveston to Post Isabel, and I haven't even mentioned the Chisos Mountains�in the Big Bend National Park.
Texas is big and there are a lot of big things in it. And health is one of them. Yet, just like Texas, there is a lot about health that is relatively unknown.
That is why I enjoy talking with�Dr. John K. Graham.
Dr. Graham is President and C.E.O. of the�Institute for Spirituality and Health�(ISH) at the Texas Medical Center in Houston.�He is both a physician and a priest. He received his M.D. Degree from Tulane Medical School in New Orleans and is board-certified in two medical specialties - otolaryngology and plastic & reconstructive surgery.
In 1990, Dr. Graham left the practice of medicine and responded to what he describes as God's call to the priesthood. He received his Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. For twelve years he served as Sr. Associate Rector at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston.
During my first meeting with Dr. Graham, and as soon as we sat down in his office, he explained the mission of the ISH. He said, "Its purpose is to educate healthcare professionals about the role of spirituality in healthcare."
He told me about the 3,000 and more Randomized Controlled Trial�studies in the medical literature that show a 66 percent positive correlation between spirituality and health. One study showed that�if a person attended religious services once a week or�more, his or her longevity increased by 7 years. Dr. Graham explained that attendees of regular religious services had measurably lower stress, lower blood pressure,�lower cholesterol levels, and improved immune�response (IL-6 levels) as well as maintenance of the�proper Serotonin levels in the brain.
Dr. Graham believes that people want spiritually sensitive healthcare, which he feels is ethical care.
As I was getting ready to leave, Dr. Graham, knowing that I was in a Christian healing practice, grabbed a copy of his book,�Graham Crackers & Milk: Food for the Heart & Soul, and wrote in it, "I thank God for you and your ministry to bring health and healing to God's people."
He knew I had�been learning that not only is spirituality important to health, but health could be thought of as fundamentally Spirit-based, God endowed and maintained.
I am grateful for having met Dr. Graham and look forward to another discussion with him this week when the ISH sponsors a talk by�Dr. Jeff Levin�in Houston.
I hope to have a few minutes to talk privately with Dr.�Levin. He is a biomedical scientist and a religious scholar. He is one of the first few to have researched and written about the relationship between consciousness, spirituality, and health. He holds a distinguished chair at Baylor University, where he is University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health, Professor of Medical Humanities, and Director of the Program on Religion and Population Health at the Institute for Studies of Religion. He is the author of�God, Faith, and Health: Exploring the Healing Connection.
I'm confident that Texans, as well as the rest of humanity, are moving closer and closer to understanding that spirituality in healthcare is vitally important.
I'm also confident that they are moving closer to realizing that just as Texas and big are inseparable, so are spirituality and health.
� Keith Wommack is a Syndicated Health Blogger, Christian Science practitioner and teacher, husband, and step-dad. He is a legislative liaison for spiritual healing & Christian Science in Texas. He has been described as a spiritual spur (since every horse needs a little nudge now and then).�

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White today is releasing a plan to rein in homeowner insurance costs by requiring companies to get "prior approval" from the state before raising rates.
Under current law, an insurance company can raise its rates but then has to justify the rate increase to the Texas Department of Insurance.
The biggest controversy has surrounded State Farm, which has 1.2 million customers in Texas. The state ordered State Farm to cut its rates by 12 percent and refund customers $310 million (the Office of Public Insurance Council had argued the company should make $1 billion in refunds.)
Instead of cutting rates and making refunds, State Farm took insurance Commissioner Mike Geeslin to court in an effort to block the rate cut and keep the state from releasing data on insurance rate spikes.
The current law was signed into effect by Gov. Rick Perry in 2003. The insurance companies said they needed flexibility to react to changing markets. Prior to Perry signing that so-called file-and-use rate law, homeowner insurance rates were completely deregulated in Texas.
In a system of prior approval, an insurance company could not raise rates until they were approved by the state.
White said Texas families now pay an average of $626 more than homeowners in other states.
"Homeowner's insurance rates are squeezing the savings of Texas families. As governor, I'd require homeowner's insurance companies to prove why any rate increase is needed before I'd permit it," said White in a news release. "Under Perry, if they want your money they can have it. I'd put a stop to that."
"This is a common sense approach that's worked in states all over the country," White said of prior approval. "Perry said he'd fix homeowner's insurance costs in 2002. It's been eight years, and he hasn't."
A fact sheet on from White's campaign on Texas families and homeowner's insurance is available at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/36456540/Fact-Sheet-Texas-Families-Homeowner-s-Insurance
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the state ordered the top 10 insurance carries to cut rates by $500 million after the 2003 law took effect. Miner said Perry also last year asked the insurance department to work with Attorney General Greg Abbott to investigate insurance companies for anti-competitive behavior.
"The governor and TDI have been pro-active to lower homeowner insurance rates," Miner said.

Greek police yesterday arrested the leader of the Golden Dawn neo-Nazi party and hunted for dozens of its members as part of a crackdown launched after the murder of a leftist musician.
Golden Dawn leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos was arrested early yesterday, along with party spokesman and Greek Member of Parliament (MP) Ilias Kassidiairis, and two other group members, on charges of belonging to a "criminal organization," a police source said on condition of anonymity.
Arrest warrants were also issued for at least five other Golden Dawn MPs and dozens of members, the source said.
The arrests came a day after Golden Dawn threatened to pull its 18 lawmakers out of parliament in the recession-hit country, where the government is struggling to implement painful public sector reforms in return for international bailout funds.
Golden Dawn, which had MPs elected to parliament for the first time last year on the back of widespread anger over austerity measures, is facing a crackdown after the fatal stabbing of a popular hip-hop musician on Sept. 18.
The death of anti-fascist Pavlos Fyssas, 34, allegedly by a self-confessed neo-Nazi, sparked nationwide protests and led the government to launch a crackdown on the group whose members are suspected of attacking immigrants and political rivals.
"This government is determined not to allow the descendants of the Nazis to poison our social life, to commit crimes, terrorize and undermine the foundations of the country that gave birth to democracy," Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said in a televised address a day after the killing.
Faced with the crackdown, which included wiretaps of party members, Michaloliakos on Friday threatened to pull the group's deputies out of parliament, a move that would trigger by-elections in 15 regions around the country.
"We will exhaust any means within our legal constitutional rights to defend our political honor," Michaloliakos told reporters late on Thursday.
"Everything is open. If the country enters a cycle of instability, it is those who demonize Golden Dawn who will be responsible, not [us]," he said.
By-elections could hurt Samaras' coalition government, which has a slim majority of 155 MPs in the 300-seat parliament, and cast into doubt Greece's ability to fulfill its obligations to creditors on multibillion-euro bailouts.
Samaras' conservative party is neck-and-neck in the polls with the radical leftist Syriza party that opposes Greece's EU-IMF austerity bailout, and a strong showing by Syriza in by-elections could lead to the government's fall.
Golden Dawn saw its popularity increase as Greece became further mired in recession and unemployment figures hit record highs.
The party has sent black-clad squads to smash up market stalls owned by immigrants, held torch-lit rallies lambasting political opponents as "traitors" and "thieves" and organized donations of food exclusively for ethnic Greeks.
It has also been blamed for a series of brutal attacks on migrants and political opponents, although the neo-Nazi group strenuously denies any responsibility and says it is the victim of slander.
This year, the party has consistently polled at more than 10 percent, with its approval ratings even higher in the 18-44 age group, making them the country's third-strongest political force.
However, the hip-hop artist's murder has hurt Golden Dawn's reputation among voters, with the party polling at about 7 percent last week.
Analysts warn that the party's popularity will make any efforts to outlaw it difficult and politically dangerous.
"The constitution makes no provision for the dissolution of a parliamentary group, even if there is proof that it is a criminal organization," Panteion University associate professor of law Dimitris Christopoulos told reporters this week.

Kate sent along an article this morning about the death of Bruce Snowdon, the last sideshow fat man. Mostly she was boggled by this bit:
Until the mid-1960s, traveling carnivals frequently featured fat acts. But sideshows declined in popularity as waistlines expanded and obesity became less of a laughing matter.
As the years went by, spotting a man who weighed more than half a ton was not that unusual – and that was bad news, if you were in Snowdon's line of work.
As Kate pointed out, um, isn't a ton 2,000 pounds? "More than half a ton" is 1,000+ pounds in English, 1,102+ pounds in metric, and people who weigh that much are still actually pretty fucking unusual. Unless we are talking about people who WOULD weigh more than half a ton IF THEY WERE STANDING ON THE SUN, in which case, okay. If that's not what you mean, I suggest that your fact-checker commence vigorous head-desking.
Anyway, I was ready to spin that off into a rant about how NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WEIGHT LOOKS LIKE, MY GOD, DO PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT "60% OVERWEIGHT" MEANS THAT FOLKS WHO WEIGH 1,000+ POUNDS ARE SWANNING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE, but meh, we've done that post, and it's Friday. Instead, I want to call your attention to the part of the article I really loved, where they reproduced some of the talker's patter about Snowdon:
"He's so big and so fat, it takes four girls to hug him and a boxcar to lug him," Hall would say of Snowdon at shows.
"When he dances you'll swear he must be full of jelly, 'cause jam don't shake that way. And you know, girls, he is single and looking for a wife. He'll make some lucky girl a fine husband. Why, he's so big and fat, he'll provide you with a lot of shade in the summertime, keep you nice and warm in the wintertime, and give you lots of good, heavy loving all the time."
I kinda love that! I am not averse to talking (even in a fluff post) about the sideshow phenomenon and whether it's okay that parts of it have been reclaimed, but I do think it's interesting that as far as I know, patter about carnival fat men and fat women was generally othering but positive. People were there to gawk, yes, but not in an unfriendly way — the talker draws attention to Snowdown as a curiosity but not as a grotesquerie. In fact, the rhetoric is about him being attractive, even sexually attractive. Now, in the modern era there's probably some irony operating there — the audience assumes a fat man is grotesque, and the patter feeds off of that assumption by turning it on its head. But I still find it appealing.
And really, we're all curiosities in a way — not necessarily because of our bodies (though I will freely admit that I, for instance, am upsettingly double-jointed), but because of everything that makes us singular and unique. So, Shapelings, what would it look like if you wrote your own sideshow patter? Would it focus on your warmth and heaviness, like Snowdon's, or your skills and talents, or your personal flair, or your tiny superpowers? What's the script for the guy outside the Shapely Prose ten-in-one?

On payment of an annual subscription members receive all volumes issued by the Society (other than those of the Extra Series) for the year of membership. These historically significant texts and translations, often appearing in print for the first time, are fully annotated, well illustrated with maps and plates, and conform to the highest standards of scholarship. As such they often represent the 'last word' on the material they embrace, and are widely valued by historians and geographers throughout the world.
Normally, two volumes are published each year*, representing extraordinary value for money. Beautifully bound and printed, and stamped in gold with the familiar 'Victoria' logo of the Society, the books rapidly become treasured collectors' items. In addition, members may also purchase previous publications at substantially discounted prices.
Supplementary to its primary role as a publisher of scholarly texts, the Society also attempts to advance its aims by organising and participating in meetings, symposia and conferences which contribute to an increased awareness of geographical exploration and cultural encounter. Members of the Society receive regular newsletters and reports to keep them abreast of the Society's activities, along with a printed copy of the Society's Annual Lecture.
The Hakluyt Society is a non-profitmaking
registered charity
supported by a voluntary and unpaid team of council members, officers and editors.
It must be appreciated that the preparation of works of such distinguished scholarship, often transcribed from complex and problematic source material, can sometimes encounter editorial difficulties which delay their publication into the following year. The Society endeavours to issue an
of two volumes per year and has rarely failed to meet this objective.
The Hakluyt Society
is named after Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616), collector and editor of narratives of voyages and travels and other documents relating to English interests overseas, his most celebrated work being
The Principal Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries of the English Nation
. His name was almost certainly pronounced
, the family having come from the forest of Clwyd in the historic county of Radnor.

You Can Help!
Because wildlife can't speak for itself, hunters (and other interested people) must speak on its behalf. Here are some things that you can do:
- Stay informed. Learn about the impacts of land use decisions on wildlife.
- Become involved. Attend meetings, get to know the people responsible for making decisions, and become a positive voice for conservation.
- Follow-up. When decision-makers make decisions that benefit wildlife, let them know what great choices they made. When they make bad decisions, don't make them your enemies, but let them know that you hope they'll consider wildlife next time.
In some areas, biologists ask hunters to report the kinds and numbers of animals they see while hunting, or to provide samples from their animals such as teeth or wings.
These parts are used to age the animal and determine its health. In Montana, hunters are required to stop at check stations to report their kill and their hunting activities. Sometimes hunters are asked to answer a few questions about their hunting activities when they buy a license, or they may receive a written survey in the mail asking about their hunting activities. This information is vital to biologists and managers, and your help in providing information is important. The future of hunting greatly depends on the continued participation of hunters in efforts like these.

History of Kesler's Market - Your Hometown Grocery Store
Four generations of ambitious, hard-working Keslers have built and maintained the successful grocery business of Kesler's Market for the past 75 years in Blackfoot. It all began when Fredrick Clark Kesler and his wife Nettie Kesler moved to Blackfoot in the fall of 1933 after spending two years on a ranch in Mackay.
F.C. Kesler was born in Panguitch, Utah, March 25, 1887, and worked with his father in the sheep business. He attended the Agriculture College at Logan and Beaver, Utah. After his marriage in 1910, he operated a theater in Beaver for 12 years.
While living in Mackay, Jack recalled coming to Blackfoot with his dad to sell some hogs. (Jack said, "Do you know the road from Mackay to Blackfoot used to be gravel all the way?") Approaching Blackfoot, his dad saw a "For Sale" sign on a house and found the real estate agent, gave him $5 to hold the house, sold some hogs and returned to pay him another $45, and they soon moved to 593 West Bridge Street.
Because of the Depression, F.C. Kesler found himself in reduced circumstances. Business ventures in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles had left him with capitol resources almost gone. When he informed his neighbors that he was starting a grocery business in connection with his home, they told him he was bound to fail in that location.
With determination, he and his sons tore down a bunk house on the Mackay ranch and with salvaged logs, a 16-by-20 foot grocery store was built and opened for business in 1934. Jack, at the time a sixth-grader, remembers the sales for the first day amounted to $11.
The business prospered for Mr. And Mrs. Kesler and their four sons. Every few years the store would enlarge to keep pace with the increased business.
During 1946, F.C. Kesler turned the business to his sons Jack and Ray. He and his wife and son Ross operated the new 35-unit motel on South Broadway. The fourth son, Clark, operated the Chrysler dealership here. Jack Bought out Ray in 1948 and Ray went into the building material business.
In 1952, Jack was faced with the need to expand. Because of the limited space for future expansion, he began to make plans and look for a spot to build a new Supermarket. He remembered how his dad insisted on building at the edge o town on the old highway, so Jack chose a similar place, just a little further west at 925 West Bridge for his new Kesler's Market.
Jack said, "I wanted a supermarket that was eye-catching with modern equipment and to be of good service to the public bringing them produce and product under one roof."
The present store was enlarged in 1963 from 8,000 square feet to 13,000 square feet, besides a complete selection of garden products and plants in the garden shop which opened in 1970.
The Garden Center was completely rebuilt in 2006, and is now a state-of-the-art facility, with plenty of room for trees, shrubs, and flowers.
At the end of the 2010 year, Kesler's was able to improve the front facade of the store, giving it a new, modern look. By popular demand the retro neon signs that everyone knows and recognizes were preserved.
Jack has since retired, turning full reigns to Bob and Kelly. They now own and run the store, along with Bob's son McKay. The store employs 25-30 dedicated individuals, who make our customers feel welcome and important.
Although you see most grocery stores as chains of bigger corporations, the Kesler family has always felt that you cannot call yourself a hometown grocer unless you truly are a hometown grocer. That is why we have one store, in one community, in Blackfoot Idaho.
From our family to yours, since 1934.

The State Supreme Court's recent decision upholding the state senate redistricting plan by the Independent Citizens Commission brought a predictable Republican response: California is doomed to one-party government in the state legislature.
The Republicans may be right, but if they are, it is largely the result of their own doing almost 45 years ago.
It goes back to Proposition 13. Yes, THAT Proposition 13--enacted by the voters with enthusiastic Republican support in 1978.
Most everyone focuses on the 57 percent slash in property tax which brought about immediate relief to homeowners and businesses alike and placed local governments in a straightjacket.
But an even more significant portion of the proposition established that henceforth any tax increases enacted by the legislature would require an absolute two-thirds vote in each house--that's 27 of the seats in senate and 54 seats in the assembly. Simply put in political terms, under these rules one party has to have enough seats to completely dominate the other.
The super-majority vote ties California with two other states as the highest requirement in the nation. It also allows the minor party to prevent tax legislation with relatively few numbers--one-third plus one--as we have
seen over the past years. Even though large majorities of Democrats have populated both houses, their numbers have fallen just short of the two-thirds mark.
That basis for gridlock is about to change.
Fast forward to the January ruling and you can see why Republicans are worried.
With Democrats overwhelmingly outnumbering Republicans in California, under the new district boundaries Democrats are within striking distance of achieving that magic (or fearful) Democratic super-majority, thereby opening the floodgates to all kinds of tax revenue increases.
Those huge Democratic numbers are likely to propel the state toward one-party government and render the Republicans largely irrelevant.
That's good news for the Democrats in the short run, but potentially harmful to California in the long run, given what's likely to be an impotent Republican opposition.
Still, Republicans must own responsibility for their demise. Without Proposition 13, there wouldn't be the need for massive one-party dominance and the two-parties could have co-existed in a more productive and less obstructionist environment.
Until the Proposition 13 two-thirds rule changes, California will operate under one of two conditions: eithergridlock or overwhelming one-party rule.
Talk about choosing the lesser of two evils!

The insightful Meghann Douglas has once again posted a gem on her wonderful blog Meghanns Meltdown.
A short excerpt:
"That is indeed the path I'm following. I see my cane in the storage closet several times a week: I ain't going back to it again. Figuring it out for myself. I won't follow any diet with a name or a marketing budget. Learning about nutrition all over again. Which brings up another tangent…… I've been kicking myself for not figuring this out before, considering all the fancy certiffikats I can legally hang on the wall. It didn't occur to me to question. I accepted on faith that the mainstream health information would be grounded in scientific fact and not politics. Now I know better. Wisdom. It comes from experience, which is a fancy word for doing it wrong in the first place! LOL"
For the full post: http://meghannsmeltdown.squarespace.com/blog/2013/2/9/the-hard-way-every-time.html
About finding for yourself the changes that work for you and then keeping at it. Requires motivation – yeah, but then discipline is what gets you the goal outcome.
I really enjoy visiting her blog on a regular basis. There is a lot to be learned there.

Story highlights
- News of another top-level resignation surfaces, but it is swiftly denied
- Mekki says he submitted his resignation last month, but stayed on
- He says his profession as judge didn't jibe with politics
- The new constitution is doing away with the VP job
Egyptian Vice President Mahmoud Mekki is stepping down from his post, state-run Nile TV announced Saturday, amid a second round of voting on the country's Islamist-backed draft constitution.
Mekki said he resigned last month, but stayed on because he had to tend to a number of important issues, including the controversy over the new constitution, according to his resignation letter published by the state-run MENA news agency.
A former judge, Mekki said in his letter political work doesn't jibe with his profession. But President Mahmoud Morsy didn't accept the resignation because of the duties he had to carry out.
"I realized since taking the position that the nature of the political duties does not suit my professionalism as a judge, so I submitted my resignation on November 7," Mekki said on his Facebook page. "I will remain a volunteer soldier available for the interest of the nation at anytime."
Morsy appointed Mekki to the post earlier this year. However, the new constitution does not include the position of vice president.
News of another top-level resignation surfaced Saturday, but that was swiftly denied.
Egyptian State TV reported that Farouk El Okdah, the head of the Egyptian central bank has resigned, But Cabinet spokesman Alaa el-Hadidi said El Okdah did not submit his resignation and is still on the job.
"This is just a rumor," el-Hadidi said.

The best place to start the Tour del Pelmo is Forcella Staulanza.
Start by climbing along the ancient Tríòl dei Cavai (path no. 472). This leads out of the forest beneath Pelmettos western arête (a path leads off from here to a large boulder with dinosaur footprints). It continues on beneath the mountains southern flank and the Fisura saddle.
The wide Le Mandre pastures are soon reached. Panoramic and sunny, they offer classic views typically associated with the Dolomites. An area called I Lach is then crossed before continuing beneath the SE crest and a peculiar overhanging pedestal.
From here the Campi di Rutorto pastures lead swiftly to the De Luca refuge, built in 1892 by the Venetian section of the Italian Alpine Club and now commonly referred to as Rifugio Venezia.
|Getting there: the Valzoldana is easily reached via the A27 motorway. From its end continue towards Cortina and turn left at Longarone for Valzoldana. Drive up the valley along the SS251 to Forcella Staulanza 1766 m. Park here.
Height gain: about 700m from Forcella Staulanza 1766 m to Forcella Val dArcia 2474 m.
Time: about 6 hours
Difficulty: an itinerary for fit walkers. One short, not particularly difficult section has fixed cables that lead to Forcella Val dArcia.
Best time of year: from June to October
Maps: Tabacco sheet 025 (scale 1:25.000) "Dolomiti di Zoldo, Cadorine e Agordine".
This article was made in collaboration with the publishing house Cierre Edizioni di Verona. It was adapted from "Escursioni - Val di Zoldo" by P. Lazzarin and P. Bonetti.
|The most tiring section of the trek begins from here, where the views over Cadore, Ampezzo and the colossal Antelao and Sorapiss are spectacular. The steep and strenuous Forcella di Vai d'Arcia (2476m) leads into the northern section of the route via a semi-equipped path (steel cable) at the base of the Forca Rossa.
Once the north face is reached the route continues either directly down to Rifugio Fiume and back, but along no. 472, or along an unmarked path which cuts diagonally across the rubble beneath Pelmos north face. A landslide in 1994 devastated much of the scree beneath the Pelmetto, but its rubble is easily overcome and Forcella Staulanza, the starting point, is quickly reached.

We've reported on robots that recognize human gestures and a robotic exohand that gives a human hand superhuman strength. Researchers have taken these abilities a few steps further using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to enable thought control of a robot thousands of miles away.
In a scenario reminiscent of the movie Avatar, the researchers used an fMRI machine to scan the brain activity of Tirosh Shapira, a university student in Israel, in real-time. By imagining moving different parts of his body, Shapira controlled a small, humanoid robot located in France at the Béziers Technology Institute. The commands were sent over an Internet connection. A camera mounted on the robot's head let Shapira view its environment.
Before the experiment, Shapira received training by researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel. During training, he tried to direct a virtual avatar by imagining himself moving one of his legs or hands. Using changes in blood flow to the brain's primary motor cortex measured by the fMRI scanner, the team created an algorithm to distinguish among different thoughts about moving different body parts.
When Shapira imagined moving his legs, the robot walked forward. Thinking about moving either his left or right hand made the robot turn 30 degrees to the left or right. Since time is required between the beginning of neural activity and the point at which an intended movement can be classified, this caused a short communication delay. (Watch a video here of the robot being controlled by thought to follow another person.)
The experiment's long-term goal is to create a surrogate that works like the one in the movie, said Abderrahmane Kheddar, director of the joint robotics laboratory at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, in an article in New Scientist detailing the research. The Institute is part of the international Virtual Embodiment and Robotic Re-embodiment (VERE) project.
The VERE project is focused on two goals: Avatar-like embodiment in a remote, surrogate robotic body controlled via a brain-computer interface, and virtual reality embodiment with a virtual representation. Applications are the rehabilitation and training by virtual embodiment of people who are confined to a bed or wheelchair, and physical, robotic embodiment for people who are immobilized.
The project's fundamental research areas include neuroscience, constructing embodiment machines that deliver virtual sensory data to and read signals from participants, monitoring brain and physiological signals to recognize the participants' intentions, embodying their intentions in actions by a physical robot, the technology underlying virtual embodiment, and a software development platform.
The researchers say the next step is to improve the robot surrogate by upgrading to the HRP-4, made by Kawada Industries in Japan. This robot has a more stable and dynamic walk, and is almost the height of a human, which will increase the feeling of actual embodiment, said Kheddar.

- Prep Time : 20m
- Cook Time : 15m
- Ready In : 35m
Average Member Rating
(0 / 5)
0 People rated this recipe
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh young squid
- 10 ounces sea scallops
- 12 ounces broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry
Step 1
Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
To clean the squid: Separate the tentacles from the body, removing the entrails as you pull. Cut the tentacles just above the eyes and with your fingers, remove the hard beak and cut the body lengthwise. Peel off the skin and rinse with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Score the body with a sharp knife diagonally (every 1/4-inch around entire body of squid, being careful not to cut through the body). This process makes the squid more tender.
Step 3
To clean the scallops: Remove the muscle from the outside of each scallop and rinse them in cold water; drain thoroughly.

Tsk tsk tsk, Apple. If you want to keep Greenpeace off your back, don't go running your emergency generators in non-emergency situations! As it turns out, that's exactly what Apple did over a period of "several days" in April of 2006, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District was not happy with that, and has smacked Apple with a $43,200 fine for violating air quality guidelines during that time.
Apple was notified of the violation toward the end of April in 2006, and the fine is part of a settlement between the Sacramento district and everyone's favorite computer gadget company. This did not occur at Apple's main office in Cupertino, but at another office in Elk Grove, California.
The report does not specify exactly why Apple was running the generators, since they were apparently running in a non-emergency and non-maintenance situation. Perhaps the Elk Grove facility runs the RDF generator, which needed some extra juice last April. Or something.

A Brooklyn woman is suing Chanel for unspecified damages when her finger got stuck in a ring she was trying on at the Chanel store on 57th Street. Then New York Post states:
Rosy Mizrachi Gindi had to be taken to the emergency room after staff at the store couldn't slip the ring off her hand.
Gindi spent three or four hours at the hospital, where medical staff managed to get the ring off without cutting it, said her lawyer, Michael David.
The ring was worth "at least $10,000. It could have been a lot more," said David, who didn't know the exact price.
I love the U.S. but I hate how litigious it can be.

First time posting here for bikes. I have an old wally world free xr-150. It was my favorite bike as a kid when it was all about fun. It's been sitting around for many years. No real rust or tarnish. I know its not a posh riding bike, however I like it and don't feel like buying a new one. That being said it needs a new chain as far as I can tell, as one of the links are rusted. I won't know much else until I got out and take it for a spin. Without a manual I'm going with experience and dumb luck figuring out what it needs. Anyone have any info as to anything specific I need chain wise? Was just going to buy a multi-speed chain of the correct length for a replacement.
Also, any immediate things I should upgrade? Like I said as a kid it never presented me with any issues, broken parts, etc. Maybe one of the few non-lemons out there. Just looking forward to keeping it in shape and many more years of use. I know there are a lot of new parts out there and just trying to wrap my head around what I should upgrade it with and why.

Adobe AIR 2.5 not only provides new features for desktop developers, it also introduces support for the Android operating system and TVs, transforming the way designers and developers create multiscreen applications.
Note: For details on the changes in AIR 2.5, refer to the release notes.
With AIR 2.5, developers are now able to package their ActionScript applications into Android Packages (APK files) to distribute to Android devices. Also, RIM's latest announcement to use AIR for the user interface of the BlackBerry Tablet OS means you can now create AIR applications for one of the most anticipated tablets, the new RIM PlayBook.
This is an especially exciting time for AIR developers because of the proliferation of new Android devices in the market. The Android platform has gained amazing momentum with both developers and consumers; according to the latest Nielsen's survey, Android has recently become the top mobile operating system in the United States, ahead of the Apple iOS, which powers the iPhone. It seems as though every week new innovative Android devices are released to the public.
AIR developers will be able to upload AIR applications to the Android Market to be distributed for free or sold to users. These users will be able to download AIR applications just like any native Android application. If the AIR runtime is not already installed on the Android device, users will automatically be directed to download the AIR runtime from the Android Market. We are currently working with Android device OEMs to preinstall AIR to further improve the user experience.
In the AIR 2.5 mobile device profile, we've added many new features to enable developers to create awesome mobile applications that take advantage of mobile device features. These features include access to the device camera for still image capture, video capture, microphone, and StageWebView. These features are added to the geolocation, accelerometer, multitouch, and gestures APIs that we enabled in the Packager for iPhone (which is really AIR 2 for iOS). With these features, developers can use AIR to unlock the full potential of mobile devices.
As we expand AIR to additional mobile platforms, there has never been a more exciting time to be an AIR developer than today. After Apple changed its App Store policies, we have revived our efforts to bring AIR onto iOS. It's our intention to enhance the previously released Packager for iPhone to reach feature parity with AIR 2.5 support for Android and BlackBerry Tablet OS. Additionally, RIM announced at the BlackBerry Developer Conference that their new PlayBook tablet will support both AIR and Flash Player. To learn more about developing for BlackBerry Tablet OS, view the video Developing Adobe AIR apps for the BlackBerry Tablet OS. We're committed to expanding the reach of AIR applications to multiple screens and additional platforms.
In the last few years, many of the major manufacturers in the TV space have started to bring applications to the TV screen, including video and audio streaming applications such as Netflix, Pandora, Vudu, Blockbuster, Rhaposdy, and Napster, but also news and infotainment applications. Almost from the beginning, Adobe has been engaged in this market, first with Flash Lite for the Digital Home, which was announced in early 2009, and now with AIR 2.5 for TV.
We've built a tuned and optimized version of AIR that is designed to work on TV hardware. The evolution of CPUs and GPUs on TVs differs quite a bit from that of desktop computers and smartphones. TV hardware is built and designed for two purposes: playing back HD content and showing UIs on top of it. To that end nearly all TV sets have system-on-chips (SoCs) that combine two components in one piece of silicon: a high-powered HD decoder and a very fast 2D graphics chip. AIR for TV takes advantage of those capabilities, enabling H.264 1080p video playback at Blu-ray quality as well as superfast 2D graphics. In some of our platforms we are able to push simple 2D animations at over 200 FPS!
The trade-off in this evolution, however, is that the general purpose CPUs have evolved at a much slower rate. Thus, developers have to be aware of a few things when creating applications for AIR for TV. First of all, TV CPUs differ widely in terms of their speed, anywhere from 500 MHz to 800 MHz and in some cases even faster. Compare that to many of the smartphones and tablets that are available today, which often run over 1 GHz. Over time, TVs are getting equipped with faster and faster CPUs but the TV ecosystem is not a high CPU horsepower ecosystem. To build high-performing applications to run on AIR for TV, developers will need to build their apps to take advantage of features such as cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix, and avoid animating large vector content. For vectors, capturing and animating the bitmap of the vector is a fine way to allow artists to create their art and for designers and developers to animate it. For more information refer to the ADC article Optimizing Video and Content for Flash Platform on TV.
To make the optimizations in AIR 2.5 for TV available to developers, we added new APIs and enhanced others, including enhancements to the Keyboard APIs, the new StageVideo API, new Native Extension capabilities for hardware manufactures, and our new content protection solution called Flash Access 2.0. Flash Access enables content creators to deliver high value content right to the living room by having a protected delivery path from source to playback, including hardware security on the device using the device's hardware accelerated AES and RSA cores and secure key stores. By providing this high level of security, content creators and studios can have the comfort they need to delivery the highest-value Hollywood content directly over the Internet to a living room device.
With the introduction of AIR 2.5 for TV, Adobe is super excited to have Samsung as a launch partner, bringing the best platform for building rich content together with the largest TV and Blu-ray maker. Samsung is a leader in opening up the TV, starting with their Free the TV Developer Day in August 2010. Adobe has been working with Samsung throughout the year, porting and optimizing AIR for TV to run exceptionally well on their platform to allow developers to create best-in-breed applications. For developers to distribute their content, Samsung Apps is a platform that enables consumers to download and purchase applications on their TVs and Blu-ray players that come from many sources and use many technologies. Note that Samsung Apps is also connected to the Adobe InMarket service, which gives Flash and AIR developers a one-stop-shop to distribute their content to all the different platforms and devices that are enabled by Adobe AIR.
Although this release was focused on enabling support for Android and TVs, we've also added new capabilities to the AIR 2.5 for desktop runtime. For a detailed list of changes in AIR 2 for the desktop, please review our release notes. However, there are several new desktop features that developers may find especially valuable including CSS @font-face support, CSS shadow support, StageWebView, and H.264 video hardware decoding for Windows.
It is increasingly common to see websites make use of the CSS @font-face rule now that many of the latest web browsers provide this support. Beginning with AIR 2.5, designers and developers can leverage web fonts to for even more creative control of the HTML-based applications that they develop for the desktop. Figure 1 shows the Adobe font Adobe Garamond Pro, hosted and served by Typekit, rendered in a news reader desktop application built using AIR 2.5. (To learn more about this sample application and download the source code and application, refer to Using web fonts in Adobe AIR 2.5.)
Figure 1. Adobe AIR 2.5 for desktop includes support for the web fonts standard.
One of the challenges of using fonts on the web is ensuring that you have the correct license to use the font. By working closely with the team at Typekit, developers can easily obtain a license to use hundreds of fonts from various foundries, including over 120 fonts from the Adobe collection. For additional information, refer to the Adobe Web Fonts website, Typekit's blog post and the article Using web fonts in Adobe AIR 2.5.
As many web developers know, building simple drop shadows on text and boxes using purely HTML and CSS often required special, unreliable tricks. To play it safe, developers and designers often must resort to using bitmap images. With AIR 2.5, we are pleased to announce support for the CSS box and text shadow properties. For example:
p {
text-shadow: #036 20px -12px 4px;
.box2 {
border:1px solid #DEDEDE;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 2px #999;
Figure 2 shoes the result.
Figure 2. Box and text shadows rendered within an AIR application.
StageWebView allows developers to render HTML content inside mobile AIR applications using the native web browser provided by the platform. To support simulation of mobile applications, the new StageWebView API is also implemented in the desktop profiles using the AIR WebKit.
Flash Player 10.1 introduced support for H.264 video hardware decoding. For the AIR 2.5 release, we enabled this capability for AIR for Windows. AIR applications can now use the GPU to decode video and run with significantly less CPU usage. For example, our internal testing with the NVIDIA Ion netbook shows that a 1080p video can now run perfectly smooth with GPU acceleration and an average of 19% usage of the CPU (compared to 65–70% before).
Currently this feature is not available for Mac and Linux. However, we do plan to make significant improvements to our video rendering across all operating systems in an upcoming release of AIR. To learn more about what is coming to Flash Player and AIR, see Flash product manager Thibault Imbert's post Video Improvements, a sneak peek from Flash on the Beach keynote.
Be sure to grab the latest version of the AIR runtime and SDK and let us know what you think!

Since 1931, Vella Cheese has been a companion to the finest foods in the world. As an ingredient, sprinkled on top, or served alongside the full fresh flavor and smooth creamy texture of Vella Cheese is guaranteed to satisfy.
Read more about us:
Family Tradition Behind the Excellence of Vella Cheese
The success of Vella Cheese lies in the personal attention each day's production is given. Quality starts in the pasture. Every cow is not the same. Every day is not sunny; every blade of grass is not green and lush. But, if you insist on the finest breeding of herds, the finest feeds, the greatest care in milking and transporting the top grade milk, so that you have the best possible natural raw material, you have set the stage for super cheese.
We are all natural
Only natural ingredients go into our cheeses and their coatings.
All the milk in our cheese comes from Mertens Dairy: a local sustainably farmed Sonoma family dairy and their happy free range California cows.
Our whey, which is a by-product of cheesemaking, returns to Mertens dairy and to local vineyards to enrich their crops.
We are the first solar powered business in Sonoma.
We are committed to waste diversion, including recycling, composting, and furthering the sustainability of all our operations.

I'm a consultant, strategist, troubleshooter, and change agent.
I tell the organizational truth.
I design actionable roadmaps that channel dreams to reality.
This is my brand, my stock-in-trade.
This is my shingle:
Paine Consulting Services ~
Managing the challenges of change
My beat, for the last three decades, has been the boardrooms and executive offices of nonprofit organizations, corporations, and government ~ with the single-minded goal of enhancing their capabilities to serve the common good.
My work with nonprofits in particular has been driven by my firm belief in the crucial and essential role they play in building the good society. My challenge ~ whether through organizational assessments, change strategies, mergers, turnarounds, or restructuring ~ is to position nonprofits for effectiveness, relevance, impact, and sustainability.
Sooner or later, however, the well-intentioned trustees and administrators of these enterprises may go awry. That's when I go to work. READ MORE
The bottom line: All organizations are dysfunctional. What differentiates them is only a matter of degree. In the case of the nonprofit organization, the dysfunction is exacerbated ~ and, therefore, its effectiveness is limited ~ by deficiencies that are inherent in its business model. This is an issue that I'll explain further in Herb's Blogs and seminars.
One other point: Now, celebrating our 30th year of managing the challenges of change, I look forward to a knowledge and skills transfer to a new generation of consultants and leaders. It's my gift. SO, TAKE IT FROM ME. INQUIRE NOW ABOUT SEMINARS FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT CONSULTANTS AND FOR NONPROFIT LEADERS.
