DOE Fiscal Year 2013 Budget
Statement by Chairman Bingaman
"Today, we have an oversight hearing to examine the President's proposed Department of Energy budget for Fiscal Year 2013. We welcome Secretary Chu to testify and present the Administration's budget to us today.
"The priorities laid out in the President's proposed budget reflect a strong commitment to clean energy and the increased security and economic benefits that made-in-America energy can achieve for us, through American innovation as well as manufacturing.
"In an overall Budget Request that seeks to provide substantial, government-wide deficit reduction, I'm pleased to see that we have a proposed 3.2 percent increase in the Department of Energy budget. It is an investment in our nation's energy future that will boost our economic growth and global competitiveness, protect the environment and allow the U.S. to continue important nuclear non-proliferation work.
"Informed by the Quadrennial Technology Review, which we had a hearing on a couple months ago, the Department of Energy's Budget Request cuts funding in mature technology areas and provides increased resources for the most promising clean energy innovations. This is an important step toward a national energy policy that invests in critical energy priorities within a framework of a sustainable fiscal policy.
"The Department of Energy's budget before the committee today supports a range of cutting-edge technologies that will enable us to lead in the global race for clean energy. Increased investment in high-performance computing and basic science will increase understanding and spur new energy technology development. Continued investments in ARPA-E will support high-risk transformational energy projects, helping them to mature and attract non-governmental funding. Support for solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy will further develop our portfolio of available energy sources and enable a transition to cleaner technologies. And, meanwhile, funding for research on carbon capture and sequestration, methane gas hydrates and minimization of the impact of shale gas development will allow us to utilize fossil fuel resources in a responsible way.
"This budget also provides funding to address critical grid modernization issues through a new Electricity Systems Innovation Hub and significant funding increases for advanced energy-efficient manufacturing. This holds the promise of providing jobs for the future.
"It's important to recognize that the research and development programs that I've mentioned here cannot fully meet the challenges of bringing new energy technologies to the commercial marketplace. The capital requirements to move promising technologies from the lab bench to pilot scale and, finally, to commercial scale are enormous.
"Our overseas competitors have figured this out. They are moving aggressively to gain an edge in clean energy technologies. Much of our effort to support domestic players in this race has occurred through the Loan Guarantee Program – a proposal that Senator Domenici and I jointly made as part of the 2005 Energy Policy Act. At its core, the Loan Guarantee Program is intended to allow the government in the case of new technology development and deployment to take on risks that the private investor cannot. Mr. Herbert Allison has just published a useful report with some recommendations for managing the program going forward, and many of these are similar to approaches that Senator Murkowski and I have incorporated into the Clean Energy Deployment Administration legislation (CEDA) that we've reported from the Committee. We'll be having a hearing on this report by Mr. Allison when we return after this next week's recess. I'll have a few questions for the Secretary about the Allison report and the state of the loan guarantee program when we get to questions.
"Again, Mr. Secretary, thank you for coming. We look forward to your testimony. Let me also just mention before calling on Senator Murkowski – I appreciate the technical assistance that your staff and the folks at the Energy Information Administration and in other parts of DOE have provided in helping us develop the proposal for a Clean Energy Standard that I hope we can introduce as legislation in a couple of weeks. The modeling and analysis that has been done in your Department has been very helpful in helping us develop that bill."

In 1963, Dependable Engines Answered a Nation's Call of Mourning
Pratt & Whitney engines have dependably served U.S. interests on the world stage in wartime as well as in peace. But 50 years ago this month, the company's renowned products answered the call to serve, much less conspicuously, during a time of national tragedy.
On Nov. 28, 1963, with the nation in a state of shock and mourning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the bereaved Kennedy family led by then- Attorney General Robert Kennedy landed at Witham Field in Stuart, Fla. They were en route to a family friend's private retreat on Jupiter Island. No official statement was made by Kennedy, nor did any cameras record the landing and no questions were asked concerning the details of the secretive flight.
The family's private aircraft, called the "Caroline" for the president's young daughter, was powered by Pratt & Whitney R-2800 (Double Wasp Radial) engines.
The company's landmark 2800-horsepower Double Wasp entered into service in 1939 and was America's first 18-cylinder radial engine design. It was more powerful than the world's only other modern 18-cylinder, the Gnome-Rhône 18L. The XF4U-1 Corsair was the first airframe to fly with the Double Wasp, and the engine powered several types of fighters and medium bombers during the war.
More than 125,000 Double Wasp engines were produced between 1939 and 1960. Today, three-quarters of a century after its introduction, the engine line is still reputed to be in service powering restored vintage aircraft at air shows. Some may also power cargo and fuel-carrying transports in the remote reaches of Alaska.
The twin-engine Convair 240-440 Caroline was donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum by the Kennedy family in November 1967.
To help shield the grieving clan that had so recently been the First Family - and which continued to hold a prominent spot in the nation's heart - as well as to aid a national security role for Robert Kennedy, a special kind of dependability was needed. Pratt & Whitney was proud to answer that call.

Hi, this is your host for Making Waves. We're taking a brief summer break this week. The following is a rebroadcast of an episode originally released last year.
In April 2009, NOAA released a report that found that man-made toxic chemicals used as flame retardants in consumer products are found in all U.S. coastal waters and the Great Lakes.
The chemicals are called Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, or PBDEs, and they've generated a lot concern around the world in recent years because they are found all over the globe and a growing number of studies are finding that these toxins are damaging to the environment and to human health.
In this episode, we talk with one of the authors of the report. We'll have a link to the full report in our show notes.
It's Thursday, Sept. 2, and this is Making Waves from NOAA's National Ocean Service. We'll be back with a new episode on September 16th.
(Interview with Dr. Gunnar Lauenstein)
Today we'll hear from Dr. Gunnar Lauenstein, one of the authors of the new report and program manager for NOAA's Mussel Watch.
What do mussels have to do with flame retardants? Well, the report is based on data from this program, which has been monitoring coastal water contaminants in mussels and oysters for over two decades at about 300 different sites around the nation.
Dr. Lauenstein said that mussels and oysters are used for monitoring not only because they are stationary creatures, but because they have several key characteristics that make them useful.
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "Mussels and oysters have a couple of advantages when it comes to looking at contaminant concentrations in living organisms. One of the advantages is that these creatures do not metabolize things like oil-related compounds [so] we can see we what the organism was actually exposed to. Another advantage is that because mussels and oysters are found in many locations in the United States, we minimize the different kinds of organisms we have to look it."
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "Because Mussel Watch collects around the U.S., when we see high concentrations or we see something new – for example the flame retardants, or PBDEs, local managers and regulators can then do more in-depth studies to see if this is a broad local problem or just a problem with that one mussel site in that area."
Now that we've talked a bit about what Mussel Watch is, let's get back to the report. Lauenstein and his colleagues found that flame retardants, known as PBDEs, are now found throughout all areas of the U.S.—the coastal environments, the Great Lakes, and even in Alaska. These chemicals are everywhere and they seem to be increasing.
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "I think what we're seeing in this report is that, even though PBDEs were first looked at in the human environment, they are clearly now in the in the marine coastal environment in mussels and oysters. But mussels and oysters are, in a sense, a canary in the coalmine for environmental contaminants."
Flame retardants are used in products in the U.S to reduce the risk of fire in things like upholstery, carpet padding, casings of TV sets, computers, and office furniture. All of us at some point are exposed to flame retardants. While these chemicals help to protect against fire, the bad news is that laboratory studies indicate that PBDEs may impair liver, thyroid, and neurobehavioral development. The most sensitive populations are likely to be pregnant women, developing fetuses, and infants. Dr. Lauenstein:
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "PBDEs can be as much as 30 percent by weight in cushions found in things like couches. So when we sit on a couch, there could be a possible invisible cloud of PBDEs that we're breathing. From what I've read in the literature, infants or young toddlers frequently have the highest PBDE concentrations in the household and that may be because they crawl on the floor, there's PBDEs in the carpet padding, and then the infants put their fingers in their mouths. And there's also literature that suggests that PBDEs, because they're fat loving, or lipophilic, they can be transferred from mother's breast milk to their infants,"
While production of PBDE flame retardants began in the 1970s and peaked in 1999, they are still found in many consumer products. Because the application of PBDEs has been so widespread—including many consumer plastics, textiles, electronics, and furniture—scientists speculate that they may present an ongoing and growing problem in coastal environments.
How do these chemicals make their way into the environment? Lauenstein said there are several ways that this happens.
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "PBDEs can move into the environment from municipal waste; PBDEs can move into the environment from consumer goods as they're discarded; PBDEs and PCBs both can move up into the atmosphere, and this is one way that they are not only local from where their source is, but they can be broadcast throughout our world environment."
PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are a class of toxic chemicals once used in consumer products that share similar qualities to PBDEs.
According to Lauenstein, the broader implication of the report is that we as a society need to the need to rethink how we handle products laden with PBDEs.
For instance, most municipalities today discard old couches in landfills. If these landfills leak, there is a threat that PBDE chemicals will be released back into the marine environment or groundwater. Alternatively, if a couch is incinerated, PBDEs may be released via stack gases and wind up in the atmosphere.
[DR. LAUENSTEIN] "We in a sense have a cycle here: we have human consumerism and PBDEs, or flame retardants, being released in to the environment, moving into the marine environment, and from the marine environment possibly moving back into the human environment. This study gives decision makers and managers a tool to see the extent of PBDE contamination in our coastal environment and hopefully help in the decision process."
That was Dr. Gunnar Lauenstein, program manager for NOAA's mussel watch program. The report is called "An Assessment of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) in Sediments and Bivalves of the U.S. Coastal Zone." It was produced by NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Mussel Watch Program with support from NOAA's Ocean and Human Health Initiative.
It's important to note that the report is written for a wide audience – not for other scientists, so it's easy to understand and digest. You can find the full report online at http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/PBDEreport. And surf over to our Web site at oceanservice.noaa.gov for more on this story, including links to direct you to key resources to learn more about this new report, and to learn more about the problem of PBDEs in our environment.
That's all for this week. If you have any questions or comments about the podcast, about the National Ocean Service, or about our ocean, send us an email at email@example.com.
Now let's bring in the ocean.
This is Making Waves from NOAA's National Ocean Service. See you next week.

The FA Community Shield, sponsored by McDonalds, has always been a fixture that has baffled me. Hailed as the traditional curtain raiser for the season it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a friendly or a competitive match. With thoughts of pre-season world tours fresh in the minds of both teams and the transfer rumour mill often reaching stupendous levels the match often isn't taken too seriously by fans and players alike.
The prospect of a trophy though confuses the spectacle somewhat. No team can claim to not want to win silverware so one can never be quite sure what to expect.
Prior to the game, news was emerging that City had agreed a fee for Everton's young English midfielder Jack Rodwell. The deal all but secured subject to a medical. The news could arguably be more exciting for City fans than the prospect of claiming the Community Shield given the unusually quiet transfer window for Champions, so far.
The approach both sets of players took to the game certainly banished any thoughts of this being a casual, pre-season kick about. Challenges were flying in left, right and centre culminating in a few early yellow cards and eventually a red.
Roberto Mancini opted to use the 3-5-2 system that he has been experimenting with during the pre-season tours of Austria, China and Malaysia. Though City played with more attacking verve for the majority of the first half Chelsea took the lead courtesy of a Fernando Torres goal shortly before half time. Not long afterwards the tough tackling spectacle reached a head when Branislav Ivanovic deservedly saw red for rash challenge on Aleks Kolarov.
In the second half, City managed to make better use of possession in the final third, thanks in part to their numerical advantage over Chelsea. Within the space of 13 minutes fine goals from Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez and Samir Nasri ensured City were on course to claim their first Community Shield in 40 years.
In true City fashion they didn't make it easy for themselves. Ryan Bertrand, the young English Chelsea substitute, ensured that City fans bit their nails to the final whistle after pouncing on a Costel Pantilimon spill with 10 minutes left to reduce the Chelsea deficit to 3-2. Nevertheless, City held on to get their hands on the trophy sponsored by McDonalds (a sponsorship that epitomises everything that is wrong with the modern game).
The game was comforting for City in that it has proved the 3-5-2 can function effectively in a competitive scenario thus justifying the work Mancini and his staff have undertaken in pre-season. I am not sure that the system is sustainable though. Unless City are able to field 3 centre halves at the back instead of full backs or a deer in the headlights like Stefan Savic, I am not sure Mancini will persevere with the system. With the transfer window still open there is time to make additions to bolster his squad to better suit this system.
Carlos Tevez also showed that he is a different proposition to last season after having lost weight over the summer. The Argentine applied himself with his trademark bulldog like approach and a fine performance was capped with a classy goal. Tevez was perhaps deserving of the Man of the Match award but ITV's "experts" gave Yaya Toure the prestigious title of McDonalds Man of the Match. Also worthy of note were the tireless performances of James Milner and Nigel De Jong.
All in all, a good day for City: Another season, another trophy.
Chelsea Team
Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, David Luiz, Terry, Ramires, Lampard, Mikel, Hazard (Bertrand), Torres, Mata (Sturridge)
Man City Team
Pantilimon, Kompany, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Savic (Clichy), Milner, Nasri (Silva), De Jong, Yaya Toure, Aguero, Tevez (Dzeko)

Hello everyone. My name is France and I am a HypnoBirthing Educator, a nurse, a doula and a Breastfeeding Educator and Counselor. I teach the classes with my husband Matthew who is also a HypnoBirthing educator and he provides first time dads and birth partners the support they need.
Who is having their 1st baby? How about their 2nd baby? How about their 3rd of 4th baby?
First time mothers and fathers are excited yet nervous as soon as they find out that they are pregnant.
Is this true so far?
This is due to birth usually being perceived as a painful and stress filled experience that is handed to us generation to generation.
Have any of your family members, coworkers, circle of friends or a complete stranger try to tell you their own birth experience? How does that make you feel?
I will tell you this; everyone has their own birth experience. You will have yours that is designed for you – THAT IS FOR YOU. This is a big reason why a unique program, as HypnoBirthing, is developed by Marie Mongan, to prepare you for that day holding a strong foundation knowing your body and knowing what to do during the process of labor.
Our goal working together is to enable you, your partner, and your baby to have a relaxing and comfortable birth using the techniques of guided imagery, deep breathing, massage, visualization and self-hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration - a state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make. It can actually control pain. There is no magic to achieving success with self-hypnosis. Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected focus.
When having your baby with the use of HypnoBirthing, what you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at a fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits - totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will be aware of your body's contractions, but you will be able to determine the extent to which you feel the surge. You will experience your birthing in an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, without fear and tension that causes pain. Your body's natural anesthesia (endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that cause pain.
HypnoBirthing® is as much as a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing & stress-free method of birthing. It is based on the belief that babies should come into this world with gentility, calm and joy.
When moms are properly prepared physically, mentally and emotionally for birthing – she can experience the joy of birthing her baby in an easier & more comfortable & even pain free.
This program focuses on techniques that you can use during your labor - but not only that, you can use this even after you birth your baby (and I can further explain that later on). With the help of these classes, you and your partner will be able to ENJOY the birth of the newest member of your family. You will be prepared both physically and emotionally for having the best possible birth.
In other childbirth classes, they discuss further on medications being used, vaginal versus cesarean, complications, and other things.
àIn this program, we do discuss about your pregnancy, what to expect from your primary care providers and hospital procedures but not to the extent. Although, we do have other types of information not discussed from the other childbirth classes. This program mainly focus on what you and your body can do to have a safe, comfortable, easier and stress-free birth, and even pain free.
It is up to you. Few of the pregnant moms that I have taught did take them before & after. Very few were taking it in conjunction with HypnoBirthing classes. Although, what happens is that they take the other classes and they back out because they decide not to listen to other information that will increase their fear of giving birth.
Most pregnant moms take this class before their 2nd trimester & even up to their last trimester - depending on how soon they found out that there is a wonderful way of birthing their baby. It is all about practice, practice, and practice.
Some of my pregnant moms who took the class a little early, I do give them a no-charge review class – they join my group class if they took private classes before hand.
I only had 1 pregnant mom who took the class 1 month before her due date. Everything went fine. It's just that her husband was in the military and did not know if he will be in the country for the birth of their child. But, everything came into place.
I am a nurse and I am a big advocate for both baby and mom, even dads/birth partners. I have a 3 year old son whom I birthed not using HypnoBirthing® as I did not know that it even existed. I am also a Doula, both birthing and postpartum, to further help and support my moms and babies, even dads too before, during, and after birth. I am also a Breastfeeding Educator and Counselor, for the benefit of my HypnoBirthing® families. I wanted and needed to teach this wonderful childbirth program for new moms like I was or even 2nd or 3rd time moms wanting and needing that exceptional birthing experience that most women desires to have.
I also give a free seminar at Babies R' Us for those who would like to meet me & learn more information about the program. I am at Babies R' US every last Tuesday of every month at 6pm.
Call today for more information or to register for a class at 619-964-1971 and 760-822-5001. Also, you may check out my website at www.theblessingsofbirth.com & you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Classes are held at Alexander Therapy at 5252 Balboa Avenue, Ste 202.

Hello! I am new to Atheist Nexus, and I on my first day I saw some religious advertisements being displayed above the main logo and on the side bar. You would also see them if you check around for…Continue
Durgesh Ajgaonkar has not received any gifts yet
Happy to have you as a friend Durgesh.
Durgesh, I greatly admire your courage in becoming an atheist at such a younger age. I hope you are not facing any difficulties in your personal life because of your belief. Best Luck!
Hello Durgesh Ajgaonkar
Welcome to this world of rationality, truth and peace, where common sense and science lead to open and freethinking wisdom.
We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3600 members.
Welcome, Durgesh! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Atheists who love Science! and Apostate Atheists.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since India's climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of "pull quote marries slideshow". Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me
Retweeting will spread the word about our climate and draw new people here to Atheist Nexus.

3. That it be noted that there are two other major cycling infrastructure projects (NCN Route 16 link (Cinder Path) and Prittle Brook Greenway) which are not part of the Cycling Demonstration Town project and are being pursued in parallel to this initiative.
3.1 A report was presented to Cabinet on 4th November 2008, setting out the Cycling Strategy for Southend. The implementation of cycle routes is now proceeding apace and there is a need to consider adjustments to traffic regulations including footpath conversion orders (including Prittle Brook Greenway, Cinder Path, FP111 Hospital path link and FP46 Station Road to Elmsleigh Drive link) in order to meet the construction and funding deadlines up to March 2011.

Quote from: nuttycyclist on January 19, 2010, 12:12:53 amI train my trainees to take the lane and go over the bumps. Yes they are annoying to cycle over but I would rather have that than a bus/car/van/etc squeezing by.
Is there an anti cycling culture brewing in Southend, Tbh tonight has shocked me a bit.

...Is there an anti cycling culture brewing in Southend, Tbh tonight has shocked me a bit.
Actually I got bumped tonight, I forgot about that. Side road on the right, car turning right out of it (so going in my direction) ignored my two front lights and hi-viz and pulled out into my path. I didn't unclip but there was quite a loud BANG as the back passenger door contacted my foot. It's a shame that I was on fixed as it meant a few pedal revolutions of scuffs followed the impact. But never mind, the muppet driver decided not to stop and exchange details, so if there was any damage he's definitely got to pay for it, instead of chasing my insurers who'll put him back in his box
I have just been out for a ride along the seafront Westcliff-Shoebury direction with my other half to test out his new IQ cyo light. We stayed off the cycle path and rode on the road.....

Lookout Shows How Easy It Is to Hack a Phone
Today at the D: Dive Into Mobile conference in New York, John Hering, CEO of mobile security provider Lookout demonstrated just how easy it is to hack into a phone, and offered up some tips on ways to protect yourself.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... so ... I ... I is John hearing from ... so ... the interesting show a little bit about what that actually looks like in the real world you know we've been hearing alot about ... things that the New York Times uncompromising going about things like Evernote been compromised and on people don't really understand what's going on in the ecosystem um that would be interesting next week to dive in A look at how this actually is taking place so ... aam you walk through the section look like that ... too will we got here is a bet to mobile devices ... on them what my and attempting to do such a hack into this phone right here ... in order to intercept ... text messages and ultimately actually take control of an email account to swell ... aam this fun that you have here is going to be the control device and one that doing is pack this fall on the left ... and then once this is been hacked all the information flows through it so this masses will start coming here listening to intercept them in real time ... so um would be one of the most common factors that were actually shooting for targeted attacks customer things with a near tenses email ... and what's really fascinating is actually how easy it is to spoof and email address so you see euro in an email from ... Barack Obama on down here in the middle of the screen ... or Wall Mossberg's and while that not sending this email but it's very easy to make it look like an email came from what looks like I actually decorated came exacted from centers unless you ... actually going into the email headers which the average person isn't doing it would be very hard to tell here ... so so so what we have here is um you know coming from and add to this post email from one of my colleagues in the seventh day ... amazing Tundra scammer that might be a PDF file so Wall my team email you are in this case my colleagues ... it appears his email me ... and I'll actually need ... and he's actually ... and what I'll do here is is install the application I'm this is this as a K eight years after scan ... has cast its network in an SMS messages from user usually picking up some skaters to click install ... the apps installed ... so we installed an app for an e mail instead of going to go play in the right exactly right and the game is even felt plays its own in a normal as one would expect ... but in this this would happen is the device is just packed ... and I was actually taking place now is actually it's going to foreign all emails to the temple this you can just Nupur intercept ... all emails sent down to a message for to come for reading now one would be a will to ... come see it show up normally as you would expect on this device but that also searched show on its devices while ... I'm to be clear at what God is not a hacking company ... they defend you against Pak lah ... but their ago exactly appear ... so if you see here an SMS messages came through mind of a still active ... and on the left to see the edge on the deal's final we on AllThingsD ... turn the business ... and on the right here you'll see that you can actually ... read all the estimates messages are coming through ... okay so something as simple as receiving email as a from someone that seem trustworthy ... opening a file in this case an application it can be a PDF of the vulnerability and that ... aam and then actually payload that would allow you to ALM ... implement ... interception of estimates is ... that now ... um what are the more interesting things that happens is when to have control the device other things can happen and in this case ... um one SMS is particularly problematic ... is that it uses an authentication mechanism right so I ate ... a huge email and you know I've tried to do to him I love it Gino often ... aam uses SMS up or pass recovery for example right yet and so if I were to know the email address of of of me of the target ... aam and go ahead and reset G that email password normally couldn't get access to it but in this case it's an intercepting of SMS messages we see here ... is that she just got the verification code from from Google's servers ... and you actually on the target device world where would intercept that ... ALM so if you look on the left you know you're Goebel verification code is two seven four nine zero one you see on your device to who will verification code is two seven four ... nine o one so eventhough ... I had to factor out the negation ... which is when every Wednesday now I think the new standard ... to break into this abyss in this case it's not using them to factors but is using as a master password recovery when exactly right ... and so what you could do it is a time interval on this but if you were to actually go take this great data verification code ... what you would be of the deal is done gone digi now you have to go the faster recovery flows ... enter the verification code ... reset the password to something they knew you were in control of election law didn't additional capital ALM so so was really fascinating about this is you can kind of see a very simple ... aam flow where are you the user use with an email address to put a file in place ... and you have a goal in mind in this case it's intercepting SMS messages ... the concert to lead to a host of other components come from this which is ... um you know examples of the types of things we seen her in were seeing that happen if he says but also ... can be a fundamental shift in the tax to mobile devices is was as we can move in the post ... PC era ... of hope ... so well known as we know what to do about that and it is lookout protects you against the yen still in this case we would so we're standing applications to ensure the knowledge to say you've you've made a great point but didn't come to go play so aam most of the applications are pretty trusts in England plant of ... the working to make sure all of them are ... um so you know one recommendation is Richard Dowling applications from trusted sources that I'm in it so it's not very good year in a given application from from someone you know in in ... in many cases even if the PDF file we really recommend that your cognizant of the types of of things in her opening when you receive them until Dell of apps from trusted sources in all cases ... if you see an application or link coming from something you don't know or don't trust the feeling don't and it was that ... um and then you know this is the type of thing that look that would protect against ... um ... vigilance is one the most important things you can do especially with these kind hearted attacks the ones who sin against things like the New York Times or ... on the costs of knowledge probably what happened Evernote ... was was very sophisticated in many cases ... aam ... allowed can of persistence of threats by compromising one user then moving on to others ... aam is this ... is a standard problem ... but in the demo were showing here is actually up and weren't specific but this is a problem that's computing specific targets or seeing ... anyone see that ... this kind of explain on Io West because there's an app store no we only ... did it this is a application based threat and this is something specific and read a weed FOC security issues on the platform so ... I Wes has had a number security issues some people owe less peaceful abilities Bocom which exists on and Erdoes mobile for pretty vigilant about catching those vulnerabilities ... in this case is is common application specific threat ... aam and I wouldn't say that it's it's it's not think of that book and read a security issues and IRS doesn't beat ... the bad guys are growing more users exists especially in the case of a targeted attack ... toward the really fascinating to me as as eyeballs looking at ... aam especially senior leaders of companies like what are some of my Paul Terry ... of present Obama carry her to look in the attacks are in a shift ... from targeted perspective to the platforms that that the most important ... thing is that ... XL as ... delight in sharing them yet so if you aam ... on this right to buy sermons control the blaze ... on basically you will have on ... it to gain control of this image email account set up so of information ... on American flows over and we can see here ... aam is that you now have access my email and ... if you want to um you can respond ... from my email and you know supposedly ... the AllThingsD transaction has taken place and he responded and found something to manipulate the transaction for title I feared the tyranny ... of NCO camp ...

If you are going on holiday to Cape Coral, choosing private rental accommodation is virtually essential in order to make the most of the wide variety of activities and attractions on offer. Whether you choose a modest beachfront condo, a villa large enough to accommodate the whole family, or a luxury holiday home with private pool, you will have the freedom and the time to explore Cape Coral at your leisure and enjoy your holiday to the utmost.
Cape Coral is particularly famous for its fishing. If your idea of the perfect holiday is wetting a line in search of the catch of a lifetime, you may just have found your ideal destination. Be it from the shore or from a boat, Cape Coral is an angler's paradise and rental accommodation ensures you will be free to fish at the times of the ideal conditions. Golf is also a very popular activity in Cape Coral. Whether you choose to tee off at the Golf Club of Cape Coral, one of the courses at the Royal Tee Country Club, or even venture slightly further afield, you are sure to find the perfect course suited to your abilities and requirements.
Beaches and water fun in Cape Coral
The beautiful beaches around Cape Coral will allow you plenty of choice as to where you wish to bask in the sun, build sandcastles with the children, or bathe in the clear blue waters. Particularly if there are children in your party, a visit to the Sun Splash Family Waterpark is essential, where there are a whole host of rides to provide different levels of thrills and entertainment. Sailing around Cape Coral and its many waterways from Cape Harbour is possible at various times of the day, often including a picnic lunch and focusing on the local marine life, or with a more relaxing theme around sunset.
Restaurants and dining in Cape Coral
Staying in your own holiday rental in Cape Coral means that you have the opportunity to eat in many of the town's fine restaurants. The Fusion Bistro and Grill is an excellent place to start in this respect. The wide variety of food means it is likely to appeal to most tastes and eating inside or outside is possible. Ethnic restaurants are available from Mexican, to Italian, to Chinese, while pizzerias aplenty may appeal to children. If your desire is both to enjoy some fine food, as well as to sip a few drinks and let your hair down afterwards, you should try KC's Riverstop Restaurant at the Yacht Club, which will cater to all of these requirements.

Kim is said to be terrified it could be leaked online.

Bootylicious Kim, 32, was catapulted to fame when the last vid, starring herself and singer Ray J, 31, went public.
The source said: "Kim fears this will damage her relationship with Kanye West."
The rapper, 35, started dating Kim earlier this year.

Slow Bike Movement: Not all cyclists in a hurry
San Francisco is boomtown for bicycling. And with more riders comes more diversity. Among the growing population of bicyclists are those who eschew speed and spandex in favor of sitting upright and slowly making their way through town in whatever they happen to be wearing that day. It's a trend that some are calling the Slow Bike Movement.
"When I think about the Slow Bike Movement, I think of bikes that allow people to sit upright, see your surroundings, be more visible to your environment that you're riding," says Public Bikes' Dan Nguyen-Tan. "As a company, we're in the middle of this wave of growing numbers of people incorporating a bike into their daily lives."
One of those newer riders is Emma Logan, a human resources director in the Financial District. In March, she purchased a bright orange Public bike to use for commuting and leisure rides. While other riders on her routes from the Mission rush down Folsom or Market streets, Logan is happy to take it easy and arrive at work fresh from a slow cycle trip.
"I'm not hard core," she says. "I'm just doing my own thing."
That carries over to when you're getting dressed in the morning. Slow riding means not arriving at work sweaty or worrying about wearing specific bike-riding shoes or any of the other wardrobe-related concerns that plague would-be commuters. Being a Slow Bike Rider may mean being left behind by the pack of spandex-wearing cyclists in the mornings, but it also means getting to know more about the rest of your community.
"I actually like interacting with the people in my city," Logan says. "And when you're riding slowly, that tends to happen more often."
Both Logan and Colleen Stockmann, who works at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, say it's easier to strike up a conversation with people on the street while biking. When you're not rushing past, head down, people tend to talk to you - ask for directions, comment on your bike or otherwise carry on a conversation. Sometimes that means talking to curious tourists, and sometimes it means striking up a conversation with another slow rider in the bike lane.
Sure, it's easier to talk to someone who isn't whizzing past, but the laid-back pace also encourages you to look around, Stockmann says. When you're riding casually, "you notice more," she says.
For some San Franciscans, seeing slow-riding folks like Logan and Stockmann out on the road can be a refreshing encouragement to hop on two wheels for a daily commute or a quick trip to the farmers' market.
"The research shows that cities and communities where more people bike are safer for biking," Nguyen-Tan says. "The more people who bike, the greater the awareness around cycling."
Feeling inspired? Here are some tips for how to make Slow Biking your mode of movement:
-- Choose a bike that lets you keep an upright posture. Racing-style road bikes encourage the rider to lean forward, while step-throughs, cruisers and mixte frame bikes are more upright.
-- Look for fashion-protecting features. Keep your ride comfy and your clothes clean with good fenders, chain guards or internal hubs, flat pedals and maybe even a kickstand.
-- Go for gears. You're not looking for a lot, but more gears gives you more options when you're tackling San Francisco's hilly terrain at a more casual speed.
-- Ride safely. Even though you're riding slowly, don't forgo the helmet, stop at traffic signals and ride predictably.
-- Share the road. When you're riding slowly, it's easier to double up in the roadways and chat with a fellow rider. Bring a friend and enjoy the time to catch up.
Bike About Town is presented by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, a 12,000-member nonprofit dedicated to creating safer streets and more livable communities by promoting the bicycle for everyday transportation. For more biking resources, go to www.sfbike.org

'Pacific Rim' hit the theaters already, guys, and even if you aren't into the idea of giant mech fighting huge monsters (and why not?!), you can certainly be on board with the eight tons of man candy in this movie, including Charlie Day.
In 'Pacific Rim,' Charlie Day plays scientist Newton "Newt" Geiszler, a guy who's pretty obsessed with the giant alien monsters that are coming out of the ocean to destroy humanity. But he might also be the key to saving us all! You'll have to watch and find out, and trust me, you want to see this movie on the biggest screen possible.
You might also recognize Charlie Day from the hit FX series 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' in which he plays a maniacal, wacky guy who's obsessed with a waitress. (Day happens to be married to the woman who plays the waitress in real life, Mary Elizabeth Ellis.)
Day has also starred in 'Horrible Bosses' with Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, and Jennifer Aniston, and will reunite with the cast for the upcoming sequel.
Some people find Day shrill and annoying so they don't like him, but we think those people are, you know, idiots. He's hilarious, energetic, and always a joy to watch on screen because he seems so unpredictable. Also, it doesn't hurt that he's super cute.

Kobo's new E-Reader touch is up against some tough odds.
It's the odd man out against industry giants Amazon and Barnes & Noble; that Kobo is the underdog hardware-wise and book catalog-wise.
Kobo's trying to bank on the minimalist theme as well as a price point that's easier on your wallet (barely), but is it all worth it?
Click here to see some big photos of the Kobo before you read the full review >
The Kobo isn't a slow e-reader, but I found it to be the slower than the Nook or Kindle. There should never be a spinning wheel graphic at the top of your screen while you're trying to read a book, and I shouldn't see slower page turns before the current pages finish "rendering."
Also, it has the smallest library of new books. Kobo did a great job including tons of free content on its store so its all easy to access (it has more de facto free content than competitors), but Amazon and B & N's libraries of new content are bigger and more refined.
By grabbing the Kobo, you're spending $9.99 less but you're trading off, among other things, humongous collections of books and curated recommendations by staffers at those sites.
As far as looks, the Kobo looks handsome. It has a simple metallic home button, and the entire device is wrapped in soft-touch plastic. It's rectangular and has a textured back that ensures nobody will mistake this thing for a Nook or Kindle.
Once you put your hands on the device, however, you realize that the build quality is just so-so. The power button on its top is finicky and looks like an afterthought (see images).
Most importantly, only once you put your hands on the Kobo do you realize that it's hard to hold without letting your thumb touch the screen. If your thumb touches the screen, you'll turn the page (you can swipe or touch to turn the page). It happens a lot accidentally, and I don't want to hold the Kobo with two hands.
The Kobo looks slick, but it just isn't as ergonomic in practice. I tried various ways to hold the thing, and the only comfortable way I could hold it for a long period of time was by using two hands, or by holding the unit by its bottom.
The software on the Kobo is good enough, but it can get very sluggish. You should never ever see a spinning "loading" icon on an e-ink reader device. I got pretty impatient a few times, and the device needs to load a bit once you open a book. Sure doesn't feel like it has a 800 Mhz processor baked in.
The Kobo's 6 inch e-ink touchscreen isn't as sharp, and doesn't have as much contrast as the Nook or Kindle's. Kobo released an update a few weeks ago that allows you a great degree of customization: several fonts (which you can also sideload from a computer), different line spacings, justfication, margins, and more.
People who really want to cater the reading experience to their preferences have a lot of options on the Kobo. This is a strong point.
The recent firmware update also improved responsiveness and contrast, but I still found the display to be grainier than the displays on the Nook or Kindle.
Another thing I'm not crazy about is that the screen of the Kobo is the only way to turn pages, whereas the Nook and Kindle have the option of physical buttons (no touch screen on the Kindle, however). This means that it's even tougher to hold the unit with one hand.
If you are to turn a page while holding the Kobo with one hand, you have to hold the device parallel to the ground so you don't drop it when you move your thumb.
One nice touch (which you'd think Amazon and B&N would've figured out by now) is that whenever you sleep the device, the cover of the book you're currently reading shows up.
You can do it on a Kindle, but it requires some tinkering.
Another nice touch is the social feature called Reading Life, which lets you keep track of friends and give each other badges based on reading accomplishments. But, are any of your friends using a Kobo?
Lastly, battery life on the Kobo is quoted at one month, which is half what the Nook and Kindle are quoting. Hardly competitive.
Should you buy the Kobo?
If you're in the market for an e-reader, don't buy the Kobo ($129.99). It's a great e-reader with some fun social features, but it's just not as good as the Kindle or Nook.
If you want the best and most cutting edge touch screen reader, grab the Nook ($139.99). If you want Amazon's incredible library of books and the best book recommendations, buy the Kindle ($139.99).
If Kobo could position its reader under one hundred dollars, then it might be a different story, but for $9.99 cheaper than its two biggest competitors, skip it. If you're really worried about cash, Kobo gives you a $9.99 book voucher with your purchase, so the unit is essentially $119.99 if you plan on buying any eBooks.

Last year, Larry Beasley presented the "Dream Team's" Charrette Report to the Council. The Report rejected Alternative 3C's design for the Trinity Parkway and called for a smaller, slower park road. For the past eight months, a technical design team has been further engineering plans for the road.
For the past two months, the Trinity Parkway Advisory Committee has been meeting behind closed doors to review the resulting technical design of the Trinity Parkway. Councilmember Sandy Greyson and former NTTA Chair Jere Thompson were appointed by the mayor to lead the committee. They each appointed three other members: Councilmember Greyson appointed me, Rep. Rafael Anchia, and Bob Meckfessel. Mr. Thompson appointed Ambassador Ron Kirk, Chancellor Lee Jackson, and Mary Ceverha. Our task was to advise the council as to whether the technical design accurately followed the original Charrette Vision.
The Advisory Committee's work is completed and today the Committee made presentations to the Dallas City Council Transportation and Trinity River Committee. Our Committee was not in agreement. Rep. Rafael Anchia and I presented our conclusions. You can read our report and read our statement to the committee.
To cut to the chase: Last year we thought we were (finally) getting a low-speed, meandering park access road. Instead, according to the technical design, we are getting a highway.
The design and geometry of the road will allow for high speeds: the meanders have been straightened, the lanes widened, the deceleration lanes to parking areas lengthened, and the shoulders turned from grass to gravel. At every decision tree, at every fork in the road, design choices were made to make the road straighter, wider, longer, and faster. (Check out the animation and read the briefing to the council committee.)
At the conclusion of the presentations, we were glad that the committee agreed that the public should (finally) have the opportunity to weigh in on this project. The council committee wants more public input before the road moves to 65% design. But the chair of the committee, Councilmember Lee Kleinman, stated that he wanted a "brief" period of public input, "like 30 days."
Your voices will be very important in this conversation. We have seen this all before. This is the Balanced Vision Plan round 2.
More to come….

Have Liberal Arts Degree, Will Code
If a 10-year-old can become an ace web programmer, why can't a liberal arts graduate?
With a rising demand for coding skills in the job market, technical know-how has become one of the most sought-after resume-builders. And as the story of fifth-grader Nick Wald in Wednesday's Journal showed, those who want to learn have a variety of new options. Even Nancy Pelosi has gotten in on the act.
Coding has a particular, if unexpected, allure among young professionals with degrees in the humanities. Offering high job placement rates, short curriculums of three to six months and flexible payment, a new crop of boot camps gives these job seekers a chance to find creatively fulfilling careers.
Ian Morrison graduated with a bachelor's degree with a concentration in visual critical studies and a master's in film history, but he still struggled to achieve his goal of working as a curator or researcher at an art museum. Instead, Morrison, 30, paid the bills through a combination of odd jobs such as selling museum memberships, conducting the U.S. census and installing art work.
"It was definitely becoming a very unrealistic idea," said Morrison of his art dreams.

Umpires review collision for Yanks-Blue Jays
TORONTO -- An umpire review of a play at home plate confirmed an on-field call in Saturday's game between the Yankees and Blue Jays, as New York's Francisco Cervelli was tagged out by Toronto catcher Josh Thole to end the top of the third inning.
It was announced that the umpiring crew initiated the review, checking to see if Thole had adhered to the new Rule 7.13, which requires that catchers provide a pathway for baserunners to approach home plate.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi left the dugout to ask the umpires about the play, which prompted the crew to call for the video. It was not considered a challenge in the strict sense of the rule, so the Yankees did not lose a challenge.
Cervelli was going home on a Jacoby Ellsbury single. Toronto center fielder Colby Rasmus fired a one-hop strike to Thole, who applied the tag to Cervelli sliding feet-first.
"I didn't know where to slide. I didn't have room," Cervelli said. "I think I put my left foot [on home plate], but I've got to check the video. I haven't seen it. I think the big picture here is, I didn't have room."
The review, which took one minute and 42 seconds, confirmed the original ruling by home-plate umpire Dana DeMuth. Girardi remained on the field after the confirmation was announced to further discuss the issue with DeMuth.
"The throw, I'm not sure the way he set up, but it took him down the line a bit -- not much," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "But yeah, that's that gray area. You don't want to give someone an automatic run."
Girardi believes that Thole blocked home plate, and added that the Yankees have video angles that show Cervelli should have been called safe. (There needs to be overwhelming video evidence to overturn a call.)
"He was blocking home plate before he had the ball, so our runner is supposed to be declared safe," Girardi said. "In my opinion, he was blocking home plate, the way it was explained to us. No. 2, we believe that we have footage he was safe anyway.
"This is going to be the toughest replay of all of them, because it's such a judgment. The way it was explained to us, if the catcher is in front of home plate toward third base, straddling the base, that is considered blocking home plate if you don't have the ball. And I believe that's how it was."
Thole said he approached the play the same way he would have in 2013, before the new rule was instituted.
"I don't even understand the rule, to be honest with you," Thole said. "I don't even know. I don't know what I would have argued [if it had been overturned]. I mean, the ball kind of took me up the line, and I just went for the ball.
"I wasn't even aware that I gave him a lane to slide, I was just going to catch the ball. So with that being said, that would have been my argument, I guess: I was just going to catch the ball."
Girardi asked DeMuth if he could protest the game, based upon a possible misinterpretation of the new rules regarding collisions.
"I don't think that [DeMuth] thought [Thole] was blocking the plate," Girardi said. " I wanted to know if I could protest the game because of the rule. Maybe it's a misinterpretation of the rule, I don't know. But no, I'm not allowed to protest."
Home-plate path calls are not subject to challenges, though managers can suggest they be reviewed. Girardi said that even though a replay official in New York was asked to look at the path to the plate, he also is permitted to check on the safe or out call.
Cervelli thought he had a handle on how to approach plays at the plate, but after Saturday's incident, he plans to speak to the coaching staff about the rule. Thole plans to continue playing as he normally would and let the chips fall where they may.
"It's really confusing," Thole said. "I'll be honest -- I don't know if anybody really knows the rule with what they're trying to do, because you can still get hit at home plate. So I don't know. I'm just going to do it the way I've always done it."
Girardi believes it would be helpful to have more written clarification about the rules.
"As I said, I believe this is going to be the toughest overall for them to get right all the time," he said. "To me it's a vague interpretation of what blocking home plate is, and I think it needs to be in writing."

Brush motors
Universal motorsUniversal Motors are commutator fitted machines adapted to work with AC voltage. They can achieve high speeds. However, the speed is sensitive to the load applied. The main advantage is the flexibility to adjust speed to an appliance needs. This type of motor is widely used to drive horizontal axis washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
Permanent magnet DC motorsPermanent magnet DC Motors are commutator fitted machines in which the magnetic field source is a permanent magnet. They require a DC power source and therefore are typically used in cordless appliances. In addition speed control can be made available.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Activists with
Mountain Justice, Rainforest Action Network and other groups planned
protests at Environmental Protection Agency headquarters and across the
country Friday to demand the end of mountaintop removal mining in
An online map showed more than two dozen planned
events from California to Maine, including demonstrations at a regional
EPA office in Philadelphia and a New Jersey office of JPMorgan &
Chase Co., a bank environmentalists say is the biggest financier of the
destructive form of strip mining.
It was the third attempt at a
national protest since June, and evidence the environmentalists believe
the tide is turning in their favor under the Obama administration.
end of mountaintop removal is almost here," declares the Rainforest
Action Network on its Web site. "Political and financial
decision-makers in New York, Washington D.C. and across the country
continue to hear our message."
Chris Hamilton, vice president of
the West Virginia Coal Association, was out of the office Friday and
did not immediately return a cell phone message.
removal is a form of strip mining that blasts apart ridge tops to
expose multiple coal seams. Operators level off the peaks, then dump
rock and debris into valleys, sometimes covering intermittent streams
and changing the contour of the land.
Coal operators say it's
often the most efficient and sometimes the only way to get to reserves,
but many people who live near the mines say they suffer unacceptable
damage to the environment and their homes.

West Virginians Bo
Webb and Chuck Nelson were in Washington, D.C., with at least two dozen
other protesters, hoping to deliver a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa
"I do think it's turning in our direction. They're
starting to look at scientific evidence showing what filling in the
streams and valleys does to our headwaters, to the whole ecosystem,"
said Nelson, a disabled underground coal miner from Glen Daniel. "But
we need to stress to the EPA that they need to make a decision soon
because the longer this goes on, the more danger they're putting us in."
EPA recently revoked a permit for what could have been West Virginia's
largest mountaintop removal operation, citing "very serious concerns"
about possible Clean Water Act violations. It was the first time since
1972 the agency had used its authority to review a previously permitted
Two weeks ago, unruly crowds took over what were
intended to be public hearings in Kentucky and West Virginia on an Army
Corps of Engineers proposal to suspend or end a streamlined permitting
process for mountaintop removal mines. They shouted down and
intimidated the few environmentalists who showed up to support
individual reviews of operations.
"As long as there's that
uncertainty, not knowing what's going to happen, it's going to keep
causing tension in the communities and in the industry," Nelson said.
"The threats are becoming more intense because they're uncertain what
the future holds for them."
EPA administrators "need to make a quick decision about what is and what is not going to be allowed."

Digital vs. Print. It's the message, not the medium. Isn't it?
My, but we do spend a lot of time in the newsroom looking for (and cooking up) new, mostly digital ways to reach readers. We blog. We Facebook. We Tweet. We post on Pinterest. We shoot videos. We make e-books. We host live events. We occasionally yell from the roof.
We do these things because we want to reach as many people as possible. Some of these things work. Some things don't. Some things might. But common industry wisdom says we have to try everything, because newspapers (a label that sounds incomplete) have an important legacy of being all things for all people. We are the public record for our city.

Can anybody explain whats is Performance monitoring?? Database Tuning??
both are the same thing ? or different
I am little confused
Can anybody explain whats is Performance monitoring?? Database Tuning??
both are the same thing ? or different
I am little confused
Hi Sachin
Monitoring is basically collecting information about the server.
In terms of performance monitoring, you're collecting the type of information directly related to performance such as how much memory is in use, how many and what kind of wait states are occurring, how long are the various queues on the system, how long are the queries taking to run, etc.
Tuning is then applying the information gathered through monitoring to make adjustments to code, indexes, structure, or infrastructure, in order to eliminate
the pain points identified by the monitoring.
Hope it helps you to understand the both terms
Last edited by Piyush; 02-21-2013 at 07:07 AM.
Thanks Graham !
Now I can differentiate & understand the both terms .
Just is the software Lepide SQL Storage Manager do the both things ?
Yes, Lepide SQL Storage Manager perform both things
It monitor and manages SQL Server's Capacity as well as perform operations like De fragmentation, Shrinking, Rebuilding the indexes, Partitioning and many more for database tuning which in turn improve the overall performance of the SQL Server.
Give it a try to manage your SQL Server check it from here also
