As Asteroid Approaches, Here's How To Watch It
As we reported at the end of October, 2005 YU55, an asteroid bigger than an aircraft carrier, is set to have a very close rendezvous with planet Earth. It'll be closer than the moon and today at 6:28 p.m. ET, it will make its closest | approach.
Don't worry. NASA is confident it will miss us. Here's a video NASA put together that explains the trajectory and shows an animation:
Of course, the big question, here, is how can one see the asteroid. If you don't have a telescope, you're out of luck.
Wired reports while the asteroid is of moderate size, it will still be 201,700 miles away, so you need at least a six-inch telescope.
If you have a telescope, Sky and Telescope reports the track is favorable for viewing here in the United States. | [

Serious criminal charges also carry serious bond release assessment
All bail bonds above $50,000 are considered large bonds in New Jersey. Luckily, New Jersey is one state where the defendant is not completely at the mercy of the state prosecutor. Bail bonding is a thriving industry in New Jersey and those who find themselves being charges by the local authorities have an option for being released from custody while awaiting trial.
Bail bond premiums in New Jersey are set by the New Jersey Banking and Insurance Department and are not negotiable under the 10% or over | the 20% premium range. A bond premium is a percentage of the total bond charged for carrying the defendant's release from jail. All bonds in excess of $10,000 will require a promissory note and collateral, so any large bail bond will be likewise with a more stringent financial status check of the defendant.

If you were to tell me six month ago, that my wife would have cancer, that it would not be curable, and that she would need nasty chemo treatments every three weeks, I would be miserable. But you know, everything is relative.
Tonight we celebrated that very news.

The reason for my post a few weeks ago asking people to not ask too many questions was that we were seriously concerned that the results of the scan were not going to be good.

If you use a serial console for densely-racked computers you will end up making a lot of null-modem serial cables. This section has some hints on making serial cables. If you are making more than ten cables and live in a city you will probably find it economic to have the cables made by a specialty cabling firm.
Attempt to minimise noise in your cabling design. Many BIOSs and boot loaders will wait forever if they receive a single character of line noise. You might choose to use shielded UTP cables (these require special RJ-45 plugs but use standard RJ-45 sockets).
If the environment has a lot of radio frequency noise then use traditional shielded cable and metal RS-232 connector shells. Connect the shield in the cable to the computer at one end. This can be done by connecting the drain wire of the shield it to the Protective Ground (if present) or by soldering | the drain wire to the shell of the connector. If there is a substantial amount of noise also place a ferrite core over the shielded cable at both ends of the cable. Follow the usual good practices of making the cable to the correct length and screwing home the D connectors into the chassis.
If you are making one of these cables and have some soldering skill, you can easily do the jumpering of the signal wires within the backshell of the DB9 or DB25 | [

Wembley widgets | Budget might be in the tank, but there’s a place in commode
Posted By John Turnbull On 9 November 2005 @ 19:04 In England,Regions | No Comments
London | The new Wembley Stadium, promoters claim, has more toilets (2,618) than any other building in the world. We are skeptical. If the Sears Tower in Chicago does not have more toilets, we would be sorely disappointed.
Nevertheless, Simon Garfield writes at length about the cost overruns (the cost has rocketed to £757 million, up from the 1996 estimate of £180 million) and the legends of the previous Wembley, which included death-defying feats from Evel Knievel, papal Masses and the 1966 World Cup finals. “Watching football at Wembley had a Blitz spirit about it,” writes Garfield,

The Committee Tree at Family Search
"A mule is a horse designed by a committee." The Family Search tree is a tree designed by a committee. It is a little awkward, like the mule too. One of my Facebook friends posted a link to the fancreate web page. It draws the information needed for creating the Fan Chart (see above) from your Family Search tree. When I created a chart from my Family Search shared tree (shared meaning it can be edited and changed by anyone) I found quite a few wrong family connections on the chart.
On the upside someone added to one of my lines and this addition may actually be correct!! I will check the tree at Family Search more often for possible extensions of some of my lines.

Battle for Enugu Chime holds his breath

Tomorrow, Monday, April 23, 2012 has emerged a very important date in the political calendar of Enugu State.

Here’s my column in this month’s Emergency Medicine News.
In 1994 I was thrilled to become certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. I had worked very hard. I studied and read, I practiced oral board scenarios and even took an oral board preparatory course. It was, I believed, the pinnacle of my medical education. Indeed, if you counted the ACT, the MCAT, the three part board exams along the way and the in-service exams, it was my ultimate test. The one that I had been striving for throughout my higher education experience.
I am now disappointed to find that my certification was inadequate. In fact, all of us who worked so hard for our ABEM certification find ourselves facing ever more stringent rules to maintain that status. And it isn’t only emergency medicine. All medical specialties are facing the same | crunch. Our certifying bodies expect more…and more…and more.

NEW YORK After a judge threw a roadblock in front of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's quest to replace every taxicab with a hybrid model, the city is creating financial incentives to get more fuel-efficient cabs on the streets.
Bloomberg set fuel standards last year that would have gradually converted the city's 13,000 yellow cabs into hybrids by 2012, but a federal judge said last month that federal law pre-empted the local regulations.
Bloomberg said Friday that he does not plan to appeal the court's preliminary ruling. Instead, he announced new financial rewards aimed at encouraging taxi fleet owners to replace conventional models with hybrids.
"By | offering incentives that will encourage more taxi fleet owners to purchase hybrids, we have found another avenue to reach our goal of greening our yellow cabs, improving our air quality and reducing our carbon emissions | [

Two single-engine planes landed safely after a mid-air collision that damaged the landing gear of one of the aircrafts and shattered the windshield of the other.
Pilots won’t lose work, will get to fly the same planes and will keep their seniority. They are among the key terms released Tuesday in a memorandum that the pilots unions of American Airlines and US Airways agreed to in case of a merger.
American Airlines’ CEO Tom Horton says it will be “a matter of weeks” before a decision is made about a merger with U-S Airways.
The American Airlines’ pilots union approved a plan that could ultimately lead to a merger between American and US Airways inside bankruptcy.
Top leaders at American Airlines, US Airways, and their pilot unions are meeting to discuss a merger, one of the unions said. The Allied Pilots Association at American Airlines disclosed the meetings in a hotline message to members Wednesday.
The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for a union-representation vote among passenger-service agents at American Airlines.
American Airlines is planning to put dozens of pilots back to work. Forty pilots are scheduled to come back the second week of January.
The union representing American Airlines pilots sent its members a strongly worded letter, a few days before voting begins on the airline’s | new contract offer.
Pilots at American Airlines will vote again on whether to approve a contract offer from the company, which has been operating under bankruptcy protection for nearly a year.
The contract dispute between American Airlines and its pilots may soon be over. But that didn’t stopping some pilots from taking their case directly to travelers Wednesday.

In his catalogue essay for Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes, curator David Travis writes that Karsh aimed at capturing his subject’s “inner heroic being” and, most importantly, their “simple, inherent goodness.” I think what makes Karsh so jarringly out of place with modern times is his unswerving view of people as moral, flourishing, rational beings, and his unflappable abstinence from exploring, to quote Travis, “the unsavoury recesses of the human psyche.”
And you can see this in the photographs themselves. Even among the individuals who have, for some people, demonstrated (what shall I say?) moral ambiguity – Castro, Vonnegut, and (for many of us Western Canadians) Trudeau – there is an abiding goodness and human worth. Yes, even on Trudeau’s face I see concern and determination, not a diabolical forked stare you do!
On second thought, a part of me can’t help but doubt that calling | him old-school really contributes to understanding Karsh today, or is even accurate. It’s funny how formal honorific portraits, like those of Karsh, are dismissed with such a high doses of suspicion. We sense that such portraits are pulling a fast one on us: they help construct and legitimize the sitter’s vaulted position, rather than neutrally reflect it, but are designed to appear, all the while, as if to be doing things the other way around.

The Parent Trigger, Imaginative Educators, and Self-Intereston February 24, 2012 at 3:58 pm and modified on February 24, 2012. at 4:00 pm
Recently I had had a blog exchange with prominent education activist Bruno Behrend both here and at Chicago Boyz. While I have Bruno’s attention, I thought it would be interesting to go through some of his recent work, and see how it fits into my perspective.
Because Bruno’s talked a lot about the “parent trigger” (allow charter schools to form in a district when a majority of parents in a district support it), I decided to add my own voice to an dialog that Bruno had with Jay Mathews.
Jay criticized the idea, writing:

AIR SHOW: Day in and day out, gentle little JetBlue Airbus 320s flitter in and out of town taking happy tourists to their destinations.
On Friday, though, all hell breaks loose as a quartet of F-16 Fightin' Falcon jets rip the skies apart with a bellicose scream as they rocket into Long Beach sometime between noon and 1 p.m. when the jets land at Long Beach Airport (LGB on your program).
It's always a pretty glorious sight when these things come to town, though it can be a tad off-putting when you don't expect it. That's why we're telling you about it now, so you won't be off-put. And also so you can pack a picnic and go out and watch the ruthless, roaring jets blast into town.

Yes, and also note that in a concert setting Metallica is a tad nosier than Enya.

Cyanobacterial Emergence at 2.8 Gya and Greenhouse Feedbacks
D. Schwartzman, K. Caldeira & A. Pavlov
Approximately 2.8 billion years ago, cyanobacteria and a methane-influenced greenhouse emerged nearly simultaneously. Here we hypothesize that the evolution of cyanobacteria could have caused a methane greenhouse.
Apparent cyanobacterial emergence at about 2.8 Gya coincides with the negative excursion in the organic carbon isotope record, which is the first strong evidence for the presence of atmospheric methane. The existence of weathering feedbacks in the carbonate-silicate cycle suggests that atmospheric and oceanic CO2 concentrations would have been high prior to the presence of a methane greenhouse (and thus the ocean would have had high bicarbonate concentrations). With the onset of a methane greenhouse, carbon dioxide concentrations would decrease. Bicarbonate has been proposed as the preferred reductant that preceded water for oxygenic photosynthesis in a bacterial photosynthetic precursor to cyanobacteria; with the drop of carbon dioxide level, Archean cyanobacteria emerged using water as a reductant instead of bicarbonate (Dismukes et al., | 2001). Our thermodynamic calculations, with regard to this scenario, give at least a tenfold drop in aqueous CO2 levels with the onset of a methane-dominated greenhouse, assuming surface temperatures of about 60°C and a drop in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide from about 1 to 0.1 bars. The buildup of atmospheric methane could have been triggered by the boost in oceanic organic productivity that arose from the emergence of pre-cyanob | [

1. Melton is money
The Bears said they wanted more consistency this season from defensive tackle Henry Melton, who acknowledged that was a goal. At the quarter post of the season, it's fair to say Melton is delivering. He sacked Tony Romo in the first quarter and has four for the season, just the way he wanted to begin a contract season. He also forced the play on Lance Briggs' 74-yard interception return in the third quarter. Teams pay for sacks, and Melton knows it. Could the franchise tag enter the discussion?
2. Give Jennings a hand
As well as the defensive line has played through the first four games, cornerback Tim Jennings has had the best start to the season. He was defending Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree when the ball popped high into the air for strong safety Major Wright's interception. While he wasn't credited with a pass breakup on the play, Jennings has four interceptions and has deflected two passes that teammates picked off. He doesn't want quarterbacks to start shying away from him, but it might happen soon.
3. Finding Hester
The offense made a concerted effort to get wide receiver Devin Hester involved, forcing the ball in his direction early. He came | up big, getting open deep for a 34-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the third quarter. Hester has the speed to make plays downfield even if he isn't the easiest target to connect with on deep balls. After he was basically MIA in the first three games, it makes sense to keep seeking ways to get him the ball in space. | [

Urge Your Senators to Pass Endocrine Disruption Bill
Endocrine disruption is one of the most misunderstood and overlooked aspects of medical health. Legislation and research tends to focus far more on cancer — leaving behind diseases that can be debilitating, though not necessarily fatal.
Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts is trying to change that with passage of Bill S2828 “The Endocrine Disruption Prevention Act.”
In deciding whether or not to urge your U.S. Senators to get involved with this, it’s useful to begin with definitions. Here’s a passage found on www.endocrinedisruption.com: “The endocrine system is the exquisitely balanced system of glands and hormones that regulates such vital functions as body growth, response to stress, sexual development and behavior, production and utilization of insulin, rate of metabolism, intelligence and behavior, and the ability to reproduce. Hormones are chemicals such as insulin, thyroxin, estrogen, and testosterone that interact with specific target cells. The interactions occur through a number of mechanisms, the easiest of which to conceptual | ize is the lock and key. For example, target cells such as those in the uterus contain receptors (locks) into which specific estrogenic hormones (keys) can attach and thereby cause specific biological actions, such as regulating ovulation or terminating pregnancy. Other endocrine disrupting mechanisms include binding hormone transport proteins or other proteins involved in signaling pathways, inhibiting or inducing enzymes, interfering with uptake and export from cells, and modifying gene expression.”

Sylvester Stallone gave his sister millions in blackmail money back in the 1980s, after she threatened to ruin his career over false allegations.
Then he made "Rocky 5," and it really didn't matter anymore.
Stallone's half-sibling, Toni-Ann Filiti, died of lung cancer last year at the age of 48. It has now come out that her famous brother handed her a multimillion dollar sum in the 1980s, and agreed to pay her a monthly income and set up a trust to cover her medical expenses.

And now we begin what promises to be as turbulent an offseason this franchise has endured since probably the transformative 2009-2010 offseasons.
There are 24 unrestricted free agents, including starters Cliff Avril, Gosder Cherilus, Louis Delmas, Justin Durant, Chris Houston, Jacob Lacey, DeAndre Levy and Corey Williams, as well as key reserves Will Heller, Sammie Hill and Lawrence Jackson.
Kicker Jason Hanson and left tackle Jeff Backus will be contemplating retirement.
The Lions also have to make decisions on several restricted free agents, as well — Willie Young, Jason Fox, Joique Bell, Don Carey, Ricardo Silva and Amari Spievey.
Most of the upheaval is likely to come on the defensive end, where the line might have to be fortified and the secondary rebuilt. Also, the Lions most likely won't be able to retain both Durant and Levy — one or the other. Travis Lewis or Tahir Whitehead would then have to be ready to step into a starting role.
On offense, decisions on Backus and Cherilus could lead to a rebuilt offensive line — Riley Reiff, Jason Fox and Bill Nagy are all candidates to start next season. The receiving corps will also need to | be restocked.
But before that happens, there's going to be some turnover on the coaching staff.

Full text not available from this repository.
Peptides associated with HLA-B35 commonly have a proline or occasionally a serine residue in the P2 anchor position of the peptide, with a tyrosine at the C terminus. Based on this motif, we identified an octamer epitope from influenza A matrix protein which is presented by HLA-B35. The requirements for MHC binding and T cell receptor contact have been analyzed using analogs of this peptide with substitutions at positions 1, 2, 4, 7 and 8. The natural epitope contains a serine residue at P2 of the peptide. Substitution of | this residue with proline (the favored amino acid in this position in B35-associated peptides) considerably enhances binding to HLA-B35 in the T2-B35 cell line, but the peptide is not recognized by the majority of CTL clones and can antagonize recognition of the index peptide. This suggests that a conservative substitution at the P2 anchor position results in a conformational change in the peptide-MHC surface exposed to the T cell receptor.

I recently had the opportunity to review the book Sneaky Fitness and to interview the authors Missy Chase Lapine and Larysa DiDio
Missy Chase Lapine is the New York Times bestselling author who inspired parents to sneak good food into their children’s meals with The Sneaky Chef series. Larysa DiDio is a certified personal trainer and gym owner, she is also the “unofficial” fitness badge trainer for the Girl Scouts of America.
Sneaky Fitness offers “Fun, Foolproof Ways to Slip Fitness into Your Child’s Everyday Life.” The first two chapters of the book take us into the lives of Missy and Larysa’s families and reveal why and how the book came to be written. These chapters also offer straight-forward facts and figures about today’s children, their sedentary lifestyle, and their battle against obesity.
The core of | Sneaky Fitness are the 100 sneaky ways to get your child to enjoy being active. Some of the activities include Marching Band where kids parade around the house playing imaginary musical instruments and Sidewalk Art which has kids “painting” the driveway | [

“The Pendergrass limitation finds no support in the language of the statute codifying the parol evidence rule and the exception for evidence of fraud. It is difficult to apply. It conflicts with the doctrine of the Restatements, most treatises, and the majority of our sister-state jurisdictions. Furthermore, while intended to prevent fraud, the rule established in Pendergrass may actually provide a shield for fraudulent conduct. Finally, Pendergrass departed | from established California law at the time it was decided, and neither acknowledged nor justified the abrogation.

The Arizona Cardinals are set to name Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians as their new head coach, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. According to Schefter, the 60-year-old Arians will get a four-deal to replace recently fired Ken Whisenhunt.

He was integral in developing rookie first overall pick Andrew Luck as an immediate impact quarterback. The Colts went 11-5 and made the playoffs as an AFC wild-card team.
Arians was in Arizona interviewing for job earlier in the day. He beat out two other candidates who met with the Cardinals this week, Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.

U.S. and European stock markets have brushed off the growing risks in Cyprus and potential run on banks in the eurozone today, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average 0.54% higher and the S&P 500 0.58% higher as of 3:15 p.m. EDT.
The European Central Bank has threatened to pull a liquidity lifeline to Cyprus if a bailout isn't agreed to by Monday. The country is in negotiations with European officials, but it's asking for a tax on bank deposits that has been rejected, and the only other possibility right now is help from Russia, which seems unlikely to come. If Cyprus doesn't reach a deal, the worst-case scenario would be a run on banks in troubled | countries like Italy and Spain, which would hurt all of Europe. But all of those worries have been swept under the rug today.

People remember Chester County artist Richard Bollinger's paintings.
When a Bollinger original or reproduction hangs in your home or office, it's surprising how often people will look at it....and ask you about it.
Perhaps it's the dramatic color. Or the magnificent skill in composing a scene. Or perhaps it's his talent for taking you back in time. Richard Bollinger has an incredible gift for capturing the spirit of early America - in a way that also captures people's hearts and imaginations.
Kneeling quietly in tall grass, Bollinger observes intently. Light falling on old stone. Dappled shadows from trees. Changing clouds overhead. His eyes and sketchbook record it all. Every detail is important to the artist.
Later in the studio, his work begins. Soft lead scratches paper. Lines and | shapes become a story of rural life long ago. Each element is uniquely Bollinger's. Masterful stonework. Majestic skies. Mirrored reflections. Compelling detail. All are Richard Bollinger trademarks. But there is more to his work....elements rarely seen in other painters. Hopefulness. Peace. Serenity. These are qualities Bollinger's special talent brings to every painting, and later to every print.
"Much of my work is bolder now than it was in the 70's and 80's when I began," according to Bollinger. "Now my palette includes far more than just | [

When Lincoln Was Your Age
In an effort to inspire his young son who did not want to go to school, his father told him that when President Abraham Lincoln was his age he used to walk miles for the privilege of going to school. The young boy thought for a moment and responded, "Yes, but when he was your age he was President of the United States."
The attitude of some parents was recently summarized by Rosanne Barr when she is reported to have said, "As far as I'm concerned, if when my husband gets home our kids are still alive, then I've done my job.
One evening, while my aunt was visiting my grandmother she expressed the desire to go out for a walk in the brisk night air. Her mother responded that it was dark outside and that she might not be safe in that neighborhood. My aunt persisted, claiming that it was ok and that she could take care of herself. But her mother continued, saying that it was kind of cold outside and that it was better for her to stay indoors. After they took a few more turns, | with my aunt repeatedly expressing the desire to go out and her mother repeatedly raising objections, my aunt raised her voice out of frustration and exclaimed, "Mom, I'm 62 years old. I can go out if I want to." Without missing a beat, her mother replied, "Don't get sassy with me young lady, you are still my daughter."

Leadership can get messy. It can be painful, discouraging, and frustrating. In many Sunday Schools, leadership often stops when it ceases being easy, rewarding, and fun. I want to propose a corollary to a common saying: Without leadership, the people perish.
This neglect of leadership has contributed to the loss of members. People want to be (need to be) led. Its lack has meant that people were not reached. Some of those not reached would have become leaders and contributed to an ever increasing network of harvesters. The lack of leadership has contributed to a lower level of discipleship and a reduction of the mobilization of workers into the harvest as well. Each of these has eternal consequences. These leaders are liable to judgment.
Sunday Schools which have neglected leadership are filled with | “leaders” and members who are (1) oblivious to current reality or need, (2) ignorant about the need for change, (3) doubtful and negative about their ability to make any difference, and (4) unwilling to do the work necessary to bring | [

Meinl Signature hand percussion
Bill Saragosa might not necessarily be a household name but it was he that devised the revolutionary Spark Shakers that we will examine later, as well as some brand new'metal' percussion creations. Meinl's association with master percussionist Luis Conte is well established with a signature range that includes congas, bongos and timbales. Here, though, we examine his trio of dual signature shakers.
The Helix Bowl looks like it should be attached to a Dalek, consisting of a steel alloy hollow base cup with a wobbly steel spiral welded to the base. Meinl include a beater with the choice of metal or rubber striking surfaces, and there's a drastic difference in both feel and sound in each.

Will Differences in Parent Assets Due to the Omission Sibling-Owned Custodial 529 Plan Accounts Cause Problems on the FAFSA?
December 19, 2011
Since siblings’ UTMA 529s don’t get reported on the FAFSA, but the student’s UTMA 529 is counted as a parent asset, each of my kids would have a different amount listed on the FAFSA as parent assets. The amounts would be vastly different because most of my son’s money will have been used by the time my youngest starts college. We’ll have three children in college at the | same time, and two of them are going to the same school.

New law explains Mexican drug war
|American Patrol Report -- October 4
On December 7, Barack Obama signed the "Jaime Zapata Border Enforcement Security Task Force Act''. --- or BEST.
It includes the following language: Mexico's northern border with the United States has experienced a dramatic surge in border crime and violence in recent years due to intense competition between Mexican drug cartels and criminal smuggling organizations that employ predatory tactics to realize their profits.
So the Mexican Drug War is due to competition between drug cartels.
Wikipedia: The Mexican Drug War is an ongoing armed conflict between rival drug cartels fighting each other for regional control and against the Mexican government forces. The government's principal goal has been to put down the drug-related violence that was | raging between different drug cartels before any military intervention was made. In addition, the Mexican government has claimed that their primary focus is on dismantling the powerful drug cartels, rather than on drug trafficking prevention, which is left to U.S. functionaries.

Two former Republican lawmakers join U of M Board of Regentsby Tom Scheck, Minnesota Public Radio
