You can do something the Hubble telescope can't: Observe Mercury. And February is the best time this year to do it.
The first planet will make its best appearance of 2013 about 30 minutes after sunset between Feb. 12 and 20 as it positions itself at least 10 degrees-extend your arm and make a fist-above the horizon in the west-southwest. It may be tough to view since we don't live on a prairie and trees obstruct most of the horizons in our backyards.

What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler offered by Dr. Glaudi that is considered a volumizing filler. Its goal is to restore the volume your skin has lost from aging with calcium-based microsphere and gel that make up the treatment. What patients really love about Radiesse, though, is that it stimulates your own collagen to grow naturally under the skin. This is the perfect wrinkle-reducer for patients who feel as though their skin is in need of a boost of volume.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Dr. Glaudi’s patients often choose this volumizing filler if they are looking for not just a wrinkle-filler but also a treatment that will bring back some of the volume that has | been lost over the years. If you currently feel insecure about your facial skin where the elasticity has diminished, schedule a consultation at Bonus Image Aesthetics in New Orleans to get all of your questions or concerns addressed.

All community weenies are aware of the vocal minority. If you do anything in a public space, you will attract one. This is both good and bad.
Good because the vocal minority cares. They know their stuff. They evangelize, and link, and talk, and share. You cannot stop them from sharing. They come to the cons, they test, they wear the t-shirts, they are more fun at bars than any other population ever.
Bad, because by definition they are not the majority. If you do something that pleases the vocal minority (VM), the majority of your customers may never notice or care. If you do something that enrages the VM, the majority of your customers will be attracted by all the noise and come over to see what the deal is. (Sometimes they'll snicker and wander away.

Report: Electronic Arts Downplays 3-D Gaming’s Appeal

Gaming consumers aren’t showing a high level of interest in 3-D content, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said at an investors meeting Thursday, as reported by VentureBeat.
“We have not seen a big | uptake for 3-D gaming,” said the EA chief. “We have not seen a big uptake in 3-D TVs in the home. We are not here trying to drive a market. We are here to react to what consumers want.”
Riccitiello pointed to poor 3DS sales, which led Nintendo to slash its portable system’s price from $250 to $170 earlier this week, as indicative of a lack of consumer interest in 3-D.

A little over a month ago I participated in a beta test for a new cigar auction site called Cigar Sniper. Developed by Famous Smoke, Cigar Sniper is a penny auction site, which means you pay a fee for each bid ($0.60 is the value for the “paid” bids and, depending on the package you purchase, you will receive a number of “free” bids – more on that later) and because the bids cost money the overall price for the product can be much lower than the retail price of said product. Here are some of the rules you can find on the Cigar Sniper site:
Cigar Sniper is unlike other penny auction sites, where you forfeit the money you spent bidding on auctions. Instead, any money you spend bidding counts towards the purchase of the item at Famous Smoke Shop’s everyday low price | .

In part 8 of “My Close Encounters With Steve Jobs,” Macworld founder David Bunnell describes how Steve Jobs and IDG publisher Pat McGovern sign a deal to launch Macworld in conjunction with the Mac.
One major obstacle remained before the first issue of Macworld magazine could roll off the presses at the Brown Printing Company in Minnesota. I needed to get my boss, Pat McGovern (pictured here), Chairman of the IDG, and Steve Jobs, Chairman of Apple, to sit down and sign the contract.
With real numbers from our accounting department, I called McGovern to tell him exactly how much money we had already spent and how much more we were committed to spend, even if we didn’t print the magazine.
“Do you realize, Uncle Pat,” I said, “The issue is already at Brown? It’s ready to go.”

Researchers restore the sight of blind mice using gene therapy
Posted May 22, 2007on:
University of Florida researchers used gene therapy to restore sight in mice with a form of hereditary blindness, a finding that has bearing on many of the most common blinding diseases.
Writing online in today’s (May 21) edition of Nature Medicine, scientists describe how they used a harmless virus to deliver corrective genes to mice with a genetic impairment that robs them of vision.
The discovery shows that it is possible to target and rescue cone cells — the most important cells for visual sharpness and color vision in people.
“Cone vision defines whether someone is blind or not,” said William W. Hauswirth, Ph.D., the Rybaczki-Bullard professor of ophthalmic molecular genetics in the College of Medicine and a member of the UF Genetics Institute. “If you can usefully deliver a gene specifically to cone cells, there are implications for all blinding diseases, not just inherited ones. Even in two very common types of blindness, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, if you can target cones you | might be able to rescue that vision.”
Scientists experimented with mice with a form of hereditary blindness called achromatopsia, which affects about 1 in 30,000 Americans by disabling cone photoreceptors in the retina. The disease results in nearly complete color blindness and extremely poor central vision.
Within two months of the gene therapy injection into the subretinal space of the mouse eyes, scientists measured the electrical activity in the retinas, finding that 19 of the 21 treated eyes positively responded to therapy, and | [

First day for Aggie freshmen in the books
Every August you get the smell of freshly cut grass and sweaty pads in the air as college football teams across the nation gear up for football season with training camp. Texas A&M began its quest to improve on a dismal 4-8 2008 season Monday evening with a two-and-a-half hour practice that moved well past the sun setting on the horizon.
The theme of the day had to be freshmen, in which head coach Mike Sherman has repeatedly said leading up to fall camp will have to make an immediate impact on his team. But in their first day of practice, the freshmen did what was expected - make mistakes.
"It looked like opening day. It looked like the first day of practice and we still have a lot of work to do," Sherman said. "I think the effort was there and the desire was there.

With another Bellator season winding down, CEO Bjorn Rebney joined the Sherdog Radio Network’s “Beatdown” show to discuss two of the biggest stars in the promotion’s history: Hector Lombard and Eddie Alvarez.
Lombard recently left Bellator to sign with the UFC. Alvarez, however, has one fight left on his Bellator deal and could re-sign with the company or possibly join Lombard in the UFC.
Rebney on how negotiations with Lombard unfolded: “We don’t have that kind of ridiculously oppressive champion’s clause where if you’re champion, you stick with us until you’re 60 or 70 years old. We had an opportunity to negotiate exclusively with him. That came to an end, and then he had the right to solicit an offer from the UFC, and then we had the right to match it. … He went to the UFC, got a large-scale contract, submitted that to us, which was literally like 60 pages’ | worth of contract and terms. We reviewed it with myself and our partners at Viacom and at Spike and looked at the agreement, looked at the pay-per-view movers and shakers in the agreement, looked at kind of the catalyst to being able to monetize the agreement, and just made a conscious decision.”

Don’t take the title pf this post too seriously folks, as usual my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. The Washington Post and NY Times, two news media outlets deeply involved in leaking national security secrets within error ridden stories, address the Mary McCarthy story with some interesting aspects. First up, the Washington Post, which still gives too much voice to EEO-misfits like Larry Johnson (basically someone who does not have the temperment for the job, but because of EEO rules cannot be turned away). The lead in says it all:
The rare firing last week of a CIA officer accused of leaking information to the news media stems both from the sensitivity of the subjects she allegedly discussed and the Bush administration’s forceful efforts to block national security disclosures that have proved embarrassing or caused operational problems, according to current and former intelligence officials.
Nothing about the law, the promise she made when she took the job, the risk to the nation and to our efforts to deal with truly insane people willing to die to take a few hundred of us with them. It was stress.

Joe Johnson vs. Iman Shumpert
Welcome back, Iman Shumpert. Meet 6-time All-Star Joe Johnson.
Shumpert, a guard that relies on speed and quickness, is playing just his second game after returning from ACL surgery. Even though Shumpert has said he was inspired by the incredible comeback of Vikings running back and athletic freakazoid Adrian Peterson, don’t expect a similar recovery with Shumpert. Shumpert played well in limited action in London against the Pistons, recording 8 points in 15 minutes. That said, the defensive challenge (Kyle Singler) was not quite what he’ll see Monday against Brooklyn.
Most 2-guards struggle against Johnson's combination of size and a renewed shooting stroke in the month of January (shooting 43.4% from deep in the month). Look for Johnson to test Shumpert early in the game with isolations and post-ups.
If the Nets find out early that | Shumpert is still shaking off some rust and has trouble staying with Johnson, abusing that matchup could be a big part of Brooklyn’s offensive game plan. In two games against the Knicks last season, Joe Johnson averaged 25 points on 56% (19-34) shooting from the field and 67% (6-9) from long-range. Shumpert started both games.

RICE’S SPEECH REFLECTS HER GLOBALIST TUTORING

When Gov. Sam Brownback proposed the "tax transparency bill" it got the attention of local officials.The proposal would change the way cities, counties and school boards collect taxes.Currently if the assessed valuation of property goes up, the amount of taxes collected also goes up. As a result cities or counties can keep the mill levy the same, get more money, and say to the community that they have not raised taxes. Even so, the tax payer is paying more in taxes.The governor's proposal would change the mill levy in that scenario, so the taxes paid would not go up. In that case a person’s property taxes would not go up if their valuation went up.The local entities would then have to vote to raise the mill levy - or the tax rate - if they wanted to get that extra money they had realized through growth.Newton city finance director Lunda Asmani said it would affect the cities and counties. "It would also affect the library and airport, and any other entity that receives property taxes."New improvements, or new buildings, would be exempt from this requirement.County assistant manager for finance Anthony Swartzendruber said the county would be taking a "wait and see" approach.

Chess requires you to think hard, analyze, plan, and execute. Problem-solving and learning are become a game! Studies conducted over the last 30 years show an increase in student IQ's, and test scores improve after less than a year of systematic chess study.
Chess is also valuable due to its intellectual brand attributes: Chess is known to be a smart person's game, and kids who play chess believe they are smart. Why is this important? Because what kids believe can be self-fulfilling.
What does chess do?

- Builds team spirit
- Increases concentration.
- Encourages and promotes pattern recognition
- Enhances logical deductive reasoning to solve problems

Clinicians weren’t sure whether she had had | a bad case of food poisoning or colitis, an inflammation of the colon. Because her primary-care physician couldn’t see her until mid-January, hospital staff referred her to the post-discharge clinic.
By the time she came in four days after leaving the hospital, Eason was feeling better but was concerned because she hadn’t had a bowel movement since returning home. The practitioner at the clinic told her to give it another day and then take a laxative. | [

Lo these 20 years ago, when I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a grocery store (it was the stone age, when scanners were just coming into wide use; I had to ring things up by hand).
One of the things I had to learn was how to ring up customers who used WIC checks to pay (I lived in an affluent suburb and we didn’t get too many of those, but we had some). There were only certain items that were covered by the WIC checks; I definitely remember that milk, juice, baby formula and certain other rather limited items were covered by the checks. But since I left the grocery business in 1988 or so, I haven’t really thought about WIC checks in any kind of detail — after all, I haven’t needed them.
So I was a little surprised to realize that they hadn’t, until now, covered fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
WASHINGTON – The grocery shopping list for the far-reaching Women, Infants and Children program is getting its first significant update since the 1970s. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are being added to the program, which helps feed more than half the babies born in the | U.S. To cover the cost, WIC will pay for less of the juice, eggs, cheese and milk that have been staples of the program.
The changes to the low-income nutrition program were proposed Friday and will be finalized next year. Anti-hunger groups are enthusiastic about the additions.

Photos of a painted figma Pit and Pittoo (Dark/Black Pit), of Kid Icarus Uprising fame, have appeared on game creator Masahiro Sakurai's Twitter feed. These new photos give us a look at both the figures' accessories as well as their general scale.
Pit and his mirror image, Pittoo (pronounced "Pit Two"), predictably use many of the same parts. As such, this means that both characters are shorter than the figma Skyward Sword Link. Given that Pit is a "younger" character (and remarked on as being short by other character in Uprising), it's a fitting size. At the same time, I don't recall the height difference being this great in Super Smash Bros Brawl (granted, that wasn't a Skyward Sword Link...) which may irk fans of the fighting franchise.
Accessory-wise, Pit will be coming with the Palutena Bow (along with an arrow) and presumably also that Monoeye (which includes a stand and seems to feature eye movement). I assumed that he would have additional weapons but, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. While he's depicted as having the Palutena Bow in its swords/melee form, I | 'm not sure if it means that the bow itself can split into two pieces (which seems likely in one photo) or if they're included as separate accessory (which could subsequently impact Pittoo, who isn't depicted with the Silver Bow's melee form).
As I personally predicted (see the comments), Pittoo will be coming with the Silver Bow (his main weapon for much of the game) and the Dark Pit Staff (which he used in one of Chapter Six's possible confrontations). Interestingly, Pit is displayed with an alternate shouting face | [

The Politics of Sacramental Marriage in Late Medieval English Literature
Affections of the Mind argues that a politicized negotiation of issues of authority in the institution of marriage can be found in late medieval England, where an emergent middle class of society used a sacramental model of marriage to exploit contradictions within medieval theology and social hierarchy.

Our Constitution offers us "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but we can't pursue anything if we are unhealthy. Yet, health disparities in the United States are a fact of life. African Americans have shorter lives than Whites for three reasons. One has to do with income and poverty. Poor people [27 percent of African Americans are poor, compared to about 10 percent of Whites] have less money and less access, often having to make a choice between medical treatment, food to eat, prescription drugs and rent.
The second barrier to health equality is proximity and access. In other words, African Americans are more likely to be located a distance from hospitals. There are fewer hospitals and clinics in the 'hood than in wealthier areas. And some preventative clinics (such as a diabetes clinic in Harlem) have been eliminated because of money. Another barrier to health access is simply attitudes. Those health providers who have racial and other attitudes choose to treat patients differently. According to a study by the Institutes of Medicine (IOM), an African American or Latino man who goes to an emergency room with a broken bone is | less likely to get painkillers than a White man.

Following the debut of a teaser on British TV last week, One Direction has released the full-length official trailer for their upcoming 3D movie 1D3D. This one adds even more footage of the guys commenting on their success, adding to the footage they previewed last week with more comments from the band and interviews with their moms who get pretty emotional.
The video clip opens with dramatic percussion and the sounds of Directioners screaming their adoration. As visuals from 1D's world tour flash across the screen, the five band mates talk about what it means to be a part of 1D. "I don't know if you could have more of a dramatic life change. It's huge, man," says Louis Tomlinson. "Look where we are."
Marveling at the group's success, Harry Styles adds, "Three or four | years ago...[just think about] what we were doing then, and now the five of us, a world tour...in the biggest arenas."

AUSTIN, Texas, May 17 — The childhood cancer research computing cluster created and donated by Dell for the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) is ready to support the world's first precision medicine clinical trial for pediatric cancer.

Oncologists from the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium (NMTRC) and biomedical researchers from TGen will use the new high performance computing and collaboration cloud to identify targeted treatments for pediatric cancer patients based on the specific genetic vulnerabilities of each child's tumor — an approach that could be used to treat many pediatric and adult cancers in the future.

The Haunted Airman is based on Dennis Wheatley’s The Haunting of Toby Jugg. That won’t matter much to most as the reason it might fly off the shelves is that Twilight’s Robert Pattinson is in it. There’s not much mushy stuff so don’t expect much happiness from screaming tweens.
During World War II, Lt. Toby Jugg (Robert Pattinson) is injured during a bombing run. He’s confined to a wheelchair and has been sent to the rural clinic of Dr. Hal Burns (Julian Sands) to recuperate.

Convict arrested in Hyannis on drug charge
HYANNIS – A man under surveillance by the state after being convicted for intimidating a witness in a murder trial was arrested on suspicion of drug possession Friday night.

Frantzy Cambrone, 21, of Boston was charged with possession of crack cocaine and Percocet with intent to distribute and operating a motor vehicle with defective equipment. Sylvia Fawehinmi, 19, of Lynn, who was in the car with Cambrone, was charged with possession of crack cocaine.
A confidential source told the Barnstable Police Street Crime Unit that drugs were being sold out of a car, later determined to be driven by Cambrone, in Hyannis, according to a police statement.
At 10:45 p.m., police pulled over Cambrone’s 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe on Route 28 near Bearse’s Way with a | defective taillight, according to the statement.
Noticing an odor of marijuana, police called Mashpee officer Michael Assad and his K-9 partner Lola to the scene, according to the report. Before the dog could get there, Fawehinmi gave police a bag of marijuana containing less than 1 ounce of the drug | [

NBC bets on Dane Cook, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler
NBC is throwing a spate of new comics against the wall, hoping that one becomes its next Jerry Seinfeld.
We’ve already watched “Whitney,” so we know it’s not Whitney Cummings. But three more well-known standups still have a crack at reviving "Must See TV" with new sitcoms. What are their odds out of the gate?
Projected air date: Fall 2012
Cook takes a lot of heat for allegedly stealing jokes, artificially building his fame via MySpace and simply not being that funny. (Hey, maybe you’re not into itchy butts and Kool-Aid Man nightmares.)

Goodwin, Peter (1999) The television policies of the UK administrations of Margaret Thatcher and John Major 1979-1997. PhD thesis, University of Westminster, School of Media, Arts and Design.
This thesis provides an extended analysis and review of the television policies of the UK Conservative administrations of Margaret Thatcher and John Major from 1979 to 1997 and examines the causes, coherence and consequences of those policies. In particular, it identifies the potential forces for change in UK television policy from the late seventies: notably, international changes in the economic, social and cultural, and technological environment of the industry; and the political changes in the UK introduced by the new Conservative administrations, generally known as `Thatcherism'. The thesis analyses the specific strengths of the UK television system | established by the 1970s, and reviews the criticisms made of that system in the years before 1979. It then assesses the major developments in television policy instituted by the Thatcher and Major administrations: the establishment of Channel 4; their policies on the new technologies of satellite and broadband cable; the impact of the Committee chaired by Alan Peacock on the Financing of the BBC; the reform | [

I enjoy the weekly rest of Sundays. As part of my Sunday routine I like to catch up on reading, often from my queue in Instapaper.
I ran across an interesting article by Ben Horowitz and some class notes by Peter Thiel that presented the same startup valuation formula, basically a tongue-in-cheek position that the value of a startup goes up with engineers and down with MBAs:
- pre-money valuation = ($1M*n_engineers) – ($500k*n_MBAs).
I think the reason the idea is catchy is that there is some truth in that formula. And given that all startup valuations are crapshoots anyway, it’s a fun one to throw into the mix.
Along these same lines, it’s interesting to watch how valuation negotiation works on Shark Tank. Valuation lessons learned from Shark Tank include:
- The entrepreneur controls the biggest card: the initial positioning of | the anchor offer. Valuations never go up from the anchor offer.
- If the entrepreneur is too high, the investors will knock the deal down to size. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode where a shark would flat out not invest because they were simply turned off by a high initial valuation.
- Valuations that are too low are risky too, because the investors are wary of investing in a low self-confidence entrepreneur.

Last week kicked off the hour-long fifth season premiere of one of BET’s most anticipated shows, The Game. Viewers happily welcomed back their favorite characters into their homes; quickly making the show a trending topic on Twitter.
When I asked actor Pooch Hall who plays Derwin Davis on the show how he felt about the return of The Game, it was hard for him to hold back his excitement, “Yo! I’m hype, I’m hype!” he excitedly exclaimed.
Wendy Raquel Robinson, who plays Latasha Mack, described the return with the same enthusiasm: “It’s really electrifying,” she continued, “it’s like a snowball and a domino effect!”
Both cast members shared the same energy, Wendy revealed she can’t help it, “when you’re connected to something so incredible you can’t help but be energized.”
Pooch pulled memories from his childhood to accurately explain his high. “Remember the times we use to be with our friends, and we would run around the playground and we had this never ending energy? We didn’t want to go in the house, when our parents called us; we just wanted to keep playing [all day]? Well, that’s how I feel. I feel like a grown | child!”
Having dealt with personal struggles and overcoming obstacles, Pooch says he has nothing to be unhappy about: “My family is fed, I have a roof over my head, financially I’m good, I’m eating food I’ve never dreamed I could eat, and I’m having a lot of fun.”

As he came up through Southern California's youth hockey system with the Huntington Beach Sun Devils, the Squirt A Ice Dogs, the Peewee AA Ice Dogs and LA Hockey Club, Emerson Etem became attached to the jersey number 96. It was the numeral donned by his favorite player, Pavel Bure, and Etem took the ice hoping to emulate the Russian Rocket's speed and goal-scoring ability. Ironically, Bure changed his number to 96 in order to commemorate September 6, 1991, the day the Russian defected and his plane touched down in, of all places, Los Angeles, just nine months before Emerson Etem was born.
Now that the Long Beach native is knocking on the door of the NHL, he still models his game after Bure. "I just try to use my speed as much as possible, shoot | the puck and just try to be a pure goal scorer," Etem notes, though he adds, "But obviously, in today's game, you have to be a lot more physical. You have to have a big body presence, so I try to mix in a couple of hits now and then."
Of course, Etem is looking to do more defensively than just finish his checks before he gets to the next level. His skill on the other side of the puck may never reach the prowess of his blistering speed and sniper rifle shot, but he | [
