The history of medicine can be seen in people working hand-inhand with scientists to raise awareness on the search for medical miracles, so here are some latest dispatches from the front.
Although I've been a health writer for nearly two decades now, I must confess I was ignorant about Rett Syndrome, that is until I met Gisel Gonzalez, of Miami, and learned about her sweet little girl Gia.
Although Gia appeared normal at birth, as she grew, her development slowed and Gisel, or Gigi, as she is known, began searching for an explanation. Doctors gave her several, but when Gia was three-and-a-half, she learned the truth; her beloved baby had been born with Rett syndrome.
Rett is a dreaded diagnosis. This rare neurological disorder is seen only in girls because boy babies who inherit it do not survive. But survival is not necessarily a blessing; girls with
Rett syndrome fail to develop in almost every meaningful way; they can't talk, and they lack muscle tone and, hence, motor skills. They may also develop seizures, uncoordinated breathing and social anxiety.
It is a devastating diagnosis, but Gigi and her sister, Teri Rios, of Fort Lauderdale, are not giving up home. Instead, they are forming a nonprofit organization called "God's Innocent Angels," to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome and ultimately build a center to help other families.
On Oct. 13, they held a lavish Circus-based fundraiser at Briza on the Bay, but their efforts continue year around, so visit their web page, Gods Innocent Angels, at www.godsinnocentangels.org, where you'll also find a link for more information on Rett syndrome.
You can also watch a video of Gia on You Tube –just search for God's Innocent Angels Rett Syndrome and it will pop up. Or simply Google my name, Examiner.com and Rett to read my full column about these remarkable women and the little girl for whom they fight. The video of Gia is unforgettable.
Speaking of medical miracles, those that come from the laboratory can be amazing, and today came news that the Nobel Prize for Medicine has gone to two scientists whose work are enabling researchers to "turn back time," and fashion new cells to help cure disease. As the Wall Street journal put it, "The ability to pull off this trick-the biological equivalent of turning back time-ranks as one of the more head-spinning feats of modern science."
No one is happier to hear this news than our own Sabrina Cohen, who just returned from her own headspinning trip to New York City, where she was honored as one of SELF magazine's "Women Doing Good." There, she was treated to a makeover, appeared on the Today Show and was honored at a tribute dinner alongside celebrity winner Jessica Alba.
But parties were not the only things on Cohen's mind in Manhattan. That week, she also traveled to White Plains, New York, where she was an invited guest at the ribbon cutting of the new neuroscience building at the Burke Rehabilitation Center in White Plains. Once traditionally focused on rehabilitation, Burke has spent $7 million on its new regenerative medicine laboratories to bridge the gap between medical research and those working with patients to find new methods and techniques to help in the treatment of neurological ailments like paralysis, Parkinson's disease and stroke.
By the way, this Halloween marks the 20th year that Cohen was injured in a disastrous car crash on Alton Road, when the car the 14 year-old was riding in struck a tree. The accident was the result of a drag racing accident, and, ever since then, Cohen has spent a good portion of her time speaking to other youngsters about staying safe.
Medical history is written of miracles, so we can only hope and, in the meantime, do all we can for the scientists working to find cures for Rett Syndrome and paralysis.

Klaire and I spent about a couple of hours in our home while we waited for Ane and his parents. They went to the cemetery and we decided to stay behind. We didn't have internet there. I planned to edit some pictures but the baby refused to nap! So we spent some time playing and watching tv. It's been a while since the tv was turned on because we are hardly home. I am a self-confessed television buff so I still dream that one day when we are already settled, we can have one of those plasma tv's and plasma mounts like this:
Oh well, I hope our future home will be big enough to accommodate something like this!

Is there a way to block this particular command (

Alternatively, is there a way in which I can set up a command filter for my shell inputs before it goes to the shell for further processing?

It always amuses me to finally see what is considered a classic movie scene and see where it fits into a film. Everybody knows the classic scene in From Here to Eternity, whether you knew it was from that film or not. The scene shows two people at a beach rolling around as waves wash over them. It is a classic, often spoofed scene and though it is very well known, it has almost nothing to do with From Here to Eternity. Set in a military base in Hawaii, this film follows three different ranked soldiers.
• Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt (Montgomery Clift)- a recent transfer to Hawaii, Prewitt was a champion boxer and the best bugler in his battalion. Upon realizing that he was a champion fighter, Captain Dana Holmes (Philip Ober) attempts to get Prewitt to fight for them. Unable to get back in the ring after accidentally blinding an opponent, Prewitt refuses the offer. Upset by his refusal, Holmes enlists the help of other boxers and his own right hand man, Seargant Milton Warden (Burt Lancaster) to pressure Prewitt to fight. For months Prewitt is worked to the bone, given terrible jobs and forced to work more than the rest. The extra work and even the threats from the other soldiers could not get Prewitt to change his position. Eventually and begrudgingly, Warden develops a hard to see soft spot for Prewitt and allows him to go off base a number of times. Going with his friend Private Angelo Maggio (Frank Sinatra), Prewitt eventually meets Alma 'Lorene' Burke (Donna Reed) at a Gentleman's Club and falls in love. The film chronicles Prewitt's time in the army while he sticks by his principles and looks at his growing relationship.
• Sergeant Milton Warden: Sergeant Warden is a hardworking, extremely underappreciated man. Warden is overworked, doing his job and most of the work his superior, Captain Holmes, should be doing. At first Warden enjoys this because he gets to pull most of the strings but eventually the lack of appreciation and recognition begins to get to him. Warden falls in love with and begins an affair with Holmes' wife, Karen Holmes (Deborah Kerr). In fact it is the two of them that are in the classic scene I mentioned earlier. Trapped in a marriage with no love, Karen is desperate to get out of it but can't. Warden is a very interesting character. Though he has been put in an unfair position, he is fiercely loyal to his rank, his superiors and his nation.
• Private Angelo Maggio- One of Prewitt's good friends, Angelo is not necessarily a main character in the film but I think he needs to be mentioned. A usually lighthearted, joking man, it becomes clear throughout the film that he struggles with a drinking problem. One night while on the town, Angelo creates a problem with the brutal and violent Sergeant Fatso Judson (Ernest Borgnine). Fatso promises that the conflict will cause future repercussions for Angelo if he is every court marshaled. A stupid decision causes that exact thing to happen, leaving Angelo at the mercy of Fatso.
This film has a lot of components to it, looking at love, loyalty and parts of the military in general. Though the majority of the film is set on a military base, there is little action expect for the film's tragic end. I really like the character development in this film. The characters motives and personalities are uncovered by the dialogue in a way that makes it seem quite natural. Each character had their merits and their problems and they all dealt with them in a similar manner: alcohol. We see every main character abuse alcohol and it brings each of them some form of misfortune. Some characters learn from their mistakes and benders while others do not.
This film defeated Julius Caesar, the Robe, Roman Holiday and Shane for the 1954 Oscar Best Picture. I didn't find the plot of this film to be mind-blowing but I certainly think the performances were strong enough to make this an Oscar Best Picture Winner. Frank Sinatra took home a Best Supporting Actor Oscar and Donna Reed took home a Best Supporting Actress. The film also earned Daniel Taradash a Best Writing Oscar and Fred Zinnemann a Best Director Oscar. It also won Best Sound Recording, Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing winning a whooping eight Oscars in total. Overall I give this film a 7 out of 10. Don't judge a film based on its "classic" scene because sometimes, they really have nothing to do with the rest of the film.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Drivetrain
Changing Your Ford Transmission - Overdrive Transmission Swap Guide
Thinking about an overdrive-transmission swap for your vintage Mustang? This look at the parts and procedures is a good place to start.
For more than a decade, installing an overdrive-automatic or manual transmission into a vintage Mustang has been a popular upgrade. It's more common these days, but some people still aren't convinced of the numerous benefits of such a conversion.
If you could only do one upgrade to your vintage Mustang that's a fairly nice driver and is reasonably complete, installing a transmission with an overdriven top gear is the single best thing you can do to improve the car's overall usefulness.
Even though we first owned a '66 fastback with an AOD more than 10 years ago, the novelty never wears off when cruising in an early Mustang on the freeway. Shift an AOD into Fourth gear or a T5 into Fifth, and engine speed is reduced by more than 30 percent while vehicle speed remains the same.
That said, there are numerous other benefits to an overdrive transmission, and reduced engine speed at swift highway velocities is only the beginning. Other major advantages include better fuel economy, less engine wear, quieter cruising on the highway, and in the instance of the typical T5, even better off-the-line acceleration due to a lower (numerically higher) First-gear ratio compared to four-speeds like the vintage Top Loader.
We're covering swaps for both automatic and manual transmissions, as well as another popular swap, converting a car with an automatic to a manual. There are separate sections for each of these three possible avenues.
If an automatic to a five-speed manual is a swap you want to do, then it's easiest to go from an automatic straight to a T5 five-speed. Avoid doing the process twice by swapping to a four-speed, then realizing later that a five-speed is clearly the better option.
In any case, an overdrive transmission, either an automatic or a manual, is an upgrade you'll love more and more every time you drive your vintage Mustang. Having owned and driven numerous early Mustangs and other vintage Ford cars with either a T5 or an AOD, we can tell you the appeal of the conversion never wears off.
Four-Speed Automatic
Since a majority of the vintage Mustangs produced came with either a C4, FMX, or C6 automatic, we'll begin with installing an overdrive automatic in their place. These days, it's nearly a bolt-in since much of the research has already been done.
To answer the most common question of "what overdrive trans should I use?" by far the best and most popular choice is the four-speed automatic-overdrive unit known as an AOD. The Ford AOD has at least as much aftermarket support as a C4, and there are numerous options for obtaining one.
New AODs with all sorts of modern internal updates are available from several sources, such as Lentech Automatics, Performance Automatic, and B&M Automotive, among others. New AODs also come with the correct torque converter for your application based on discussions with the companies that build the transmissions.
Another route is a used AOD from a donor car. The best choice is one from an automatic-equipped '86-'93 5.0 Mustang, all of which were equipped with AODs. For a carbureted vintage Mustang, the AOD-Es and 4R70-Ws found in later 5.0s and 4.6s aren't good choices as they are computer-controlled and can't be set up as easily in a vintage car. Stick with a Fox-body AOD from a '93 or older 5.0, and you'll be in good shape. The torque converter in a Fox 5.0 will also work in a typical vintage Mustang.
The next main component you'll need is an aftermarket crossmember because the stock one won't work. Several sources offer automatic- and manual-transmission crossmembers for '65-'73 Mustangs, including Ron Morris Performance, California Pony Cars, DB Performance Engineering, National Parts Depot, Mustangs Plus, and CJ Pony Parts. One stock piece that will work is your car's existing C4 transmission mount. It's just the right thickness to fit between an AOD and a crossmember designed for AOD swaps into vintage Mustangs.
Moving on to the smaller but equally important pieces to complete a conversion, you'll also need a throttle-valve (TV) cable that does the equivalent for an AOD that a vacuum modulator and kick-down linkage does with a C4, FMX, or C6: It makes the transmission shift properly. With a carbureted engine, both Lokar (PN KD-2AODHT) and Ron Morris Performance offer TV cable setups that will work with an AOD.
Wrapping up the laundry list of required parts for the typical vintage-Mustang AOD swap, you'll also need an AOD dipstick and tube (the ones from a Fox 5.0 donor car will work). A shift linkage that connects the AOD trans to a car's stock shifter (which will also work) and a flexplate are both available from Ron Morris Performance. An AOD yoke can be ordered from a Ford dealer. You'll also likely need to relocate the transmission lines where they connected to the C4 from the radiator.
In addition to an AOD yoke to be installed on the driveshaft, the car's driveshaft needs to be shortened, around 1 inch in most cases. Each car should be individually measured to confirm.
Parts Needed for an AOD Conversion
Five-Speed Manual
Any vintage Mustang equipped with a three-speed manual, T-10 four-speed, or Top Loader four-speed is the ideal candidate for a T5 five-speed swap. Several other five-speeds are available these days, including the newer Tremec TKO-500 and TKO-600 five-speeds, as well as the burly T56 six-speed, all of which are available from Keisler Engineering or D&D Performance. While these three transmissions are pretty much bulletproof and installation is similar to a T5, we're going to focus mainly on the T5 conversion as it's the ideal five-speed overdrive transmission for any stock vintage Mustang with a 289, 302, or 351 engine.
There are similarities with T5 and AOD swaps; the most apparent is that you'll need an aftermarket crossmember. As with AODs, numerous sources offer T5 crossmembers, including Ron Morris Performance, California Pony Cars, DB Performance Engineering, National Parts Depot, Mustangs Plus, and CJ Pony Parts. There are two ways to do a T5 swap, depending on what you want and/or whether your car is a manual or automatic to start with. The next section is more applicable to cars with automatics, so here we'll assume an existing vintage Mustang is factory-equipped with a three- or four-speed manual trans.
There's lots of good news with this. You can retain a car's factory clutch linkage and bellhousing because California Pony Cars offers an adapter plate that allows you to join a T5 with a stock Top Loader four-speed bellhousing. The stock bellhousing is modified with two holes so it will accept the adapter plate.
From this point, the T5 installation is virtually a bolt-in. A car's existing clutch can be used along with a stock Fox Mustang or late-model aftermarket shifter. Sources such as Mustangs Plus or National Parts Depot also offer vintage-look shift handles that bolt to a T5 shifter. You could also use the stock late-model T5 shift handle and knob if you want.
To wrap up a T5 swap, the tasks at this point are about the same as an AOD conversion. You'll need to install a T5 yoke on the driveshaft and shorten it a predetermined length, again around 1 inch.
Parts Needed for a Four-Speed to T5 Conversion
Automatic to Five-Speed Manual
Since the vast majority of vintage Mustangs were equipped with automatic transmissions, it stands to reason that many enthusiasts will want to convert to a manual trans, which usually meant a Top Loader or T-10 four-speed back in the day. Frankly, we think going from, say, a C4 to a Top Loader is a complete waste of time these days when it's the same amount of work and only a little more cost to go to a T5, especially when you factor in that you can get a freshly rebuilt T5 from D&D Performance for $999.
Swapping from a C4 to a T5 is an excellent upgrade, and the task is similar to going from a four-speed to a T5. However, since a car with an automatic doesn't have a factory clutch linkage, there's an alternative that works perfectly for this swap. You can also go this way with an existing manual-trans car if desired.
Of course, the most obvious thing needed for this conversion is a manual-transmission pedal set with a clutch pedal. You'll also need a complete clutch setup with the correct flywheel, as well as a late-model T5 bellhousing and clutch fork. Where this swap differs compared to cars already equipped with a stock clutch linkage is that the best way to go is a cable system, similar to what's used in a late-model Fox 5.0. Both Ron Morris Performance and DB Performance Engineering offer a clutch-cable conversion designed for vintage Mustangs. The DBPE system takes care of two issues at once by offering a complete pedal setup along with the cable, while the RMP system is an excellent option as it works without having to drill holes in the firewall. RMP also offers a corresponding clutch pedal to work with its cable system, though you'll still need to procure a pedal setup.
Other than the late-model T5 bellhousing, pedals, and cable kit, the rest of the swap is the same as the conversion from four-speed to T5. That is, you'll need the same crossmember, shifter, C4 transmission mount, and T5 driveshaft yoke. You'll also need to shorten the driveshaft about 1 inch.
Parts Needed for an Automatic-to-T5 Conversion
Manual to Four-Speed Automatic
Though not likely done very often, it's possible to convert a car from a manual transmission to an AOD. The needed parts are basically the same as going from a C4 to an AOD, although you'd likely want to get an automatic brake pedal. A radiator designed to work with an automatic and an auto-trans shifter are required. Everything else listed for an AOD swap remains the same.
Four vs. Five
One of the biggest benefits of a T5 over any standard four-speed manual is that it has an overdrive (less than 1:1) top-gear ratio. However, a standard Fox 5.0 or Ford Racing T5 "Z" trans (PN M-7003-Z) also has a lower (numerically higher) First gear ratio as well, which, of course, means better acceleration in First gear. In a car with a 3.25 rear-axle ratio, the final drive with a four-speed and its 1:1 top gear is 3.25. Add a five-speed to the mix with a typical 0.68 overdrive ratio and the final drive is a dream on the freeway with a ratio of 2.21 (3.25 x 0.68 = 2.21). The chart below further illustrates what we're talking about. The numbers are also similar for AOD conversions.

Alec Baldwin gets away with a lot. But is he another Paula Deen?
I think it's for the best that the enraged, engaging Alec Baldwin, who seems never to have acquired the ability to control his volcanic temper despite multiple public embarrassments over the years, has decided to quit Twitter.
As you've probably heard, Baldwin went a bit nuts late last month after Daily Mail reporter George Stark wrote -- incorrectly -- that Baldwin's pregnant wife, Hilaria, had tweeted during James Gandolfini's memorial service. Apparently the reporter was in Los Angeles and failed to take into account the time difference between the two coasts.
It was a gotcha moment that wasn't.
Hilaria Baldwin did not even have her phone with her in the church, as my colleague Meredith Blake, who was there, reported.
Baldwin, as he does, took his displeasure to Twitter. In one of several outraged tweets, he called the reporter a "toxic little queen." Not only did Baldwin threaten to hunt him down and assault him, but he urged his "followers and beyond" to "straighten out this [expletive] little [expletive]."
Was Baldwin just engaging in hyperbole, as he later claimed? Some people don't think it matters.
The blogger Andrew Sullivan suggested that Baldwin should be prosecuted for making a physical threat.
"This is not just hate speech; it's a specific call for other people to physically attack a gay man," Sullivan wrote on his blog, The Daily Dish. "It's a call to violence against a specific person, which, last time I checked, was a crime. He's a pro-gay liberal, so he may get a pass for this. He shouldn't."
How prescient.
A day after his angry tweets, Baldwin apologized in a letter posted on the website of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
"My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation," Baldwin wrote. "My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libelous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend's funeral service. As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologize….I would not advocate violence against someone for being gay and I hope that my friends at GLAAD and the gay community understand that my attack on Mr. Stark in no way was the result of homophobia."
GLAAD gave Baldwin a rhetorical slap on the wrist, though GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro said Baldwin was "making it clear that the intent behind his tweets does not excuse his language."
The GLAAD blog that published Baldwin's note added, "While Alec's apology is a first step, this should not be the end of the dialogue. There are now other visible actions that he should take to fight anti-gay violence and GLAAD looks forward to working with him."
Ironically, some conservatives have kicked up a fuss, insisting that Baldwin be stripped of his duties as spokesman for Capital One, the "What's in your wallet?" credit card company.
They aren't upset that Baldwin insulted gays, not really. They're worked up instead over what they see as unequal treatment for TV chef Paula Deen, who has seen her endorsement and Food Network empire crumble after she admitted using a racial slur 30 years ago. (That is what the cartoonish Media Research Center is claiming, at any rate. But Deen's problems are far more serious than that. She is embroiled in a lawsuit with a former employee who has accused Deen and her brother of creating a hostile work environment at the restaurants she owns.)
I don't think comparing Baldwin to Deen is going to stick. But it will be interesting to see whether his latest outburst leads to anything other than his self-imposed renunciation of Twitter.
Decades of Baldwin outbursts have not done any permanent damage.
There was the 1995 attack on a paparazzo in Woodland Hills when he and then-wife Kim Basinger brought their new daughter, Ireland, home from the hospital. (A jury found both both men at fault, though Baldwin was ordered to pay the photographer $4,500.)
In 2007, in a custody dispute with Basinger, he left a nasty voicemail for his preteen daughter, calling her a "thoughtless little pig."
In 2011, he was kicked off an American Airlines flight before takeoff from LAX because he was playing "Words with Friends" and refused to turn off his phone. He slammed the plane's lavatory door so hard the pilots became alarmed. Baldwin gave up Twitter for a while after that.
Also that year, he got a bit of attention in New York magazine for calling a Starbucks barrista an "uptight queen."
And last year, after obtaining his marriage license in New York City with his then-fiancee, he allegedly punched a photographer.
Still, Baldwin always seems to restore himself in the public eye. He has a fantastic ability to make fun of himself, to plead his humanity and move on.
Though he's off Twitter for now, he said he plans to insert himself in an international drama that has captivated world attention.
"I'm going to fly to Russia and try to interview Snowden," he told Vanity Fair.
I'm not sure that Baldwin is the reporter I'd like to see grill the NSA leaker.
But if the actor and lapsed Tweeter does fly to Moscow to interview Edward Snowden for his WNYC podcast, I hope he remembers to turn off his phone during takeoff and landing.

Man's body found floating in Connecticut River
MIDDLETOWN -- A man's body was found floating in the Connecticut River by a kayaker late Saturday morning, police said.
The body was found around 10:40 a.m., but it took officers almost an hour to get it out of the water because it was near the shore down a steep embankment, Middletown police said. The body was floating in the river just south of the Cromwell line, adjacent to Route 9 north.
The Middletown Fire Department responded to the scene and was able to hoist the body up the embankment around 11:30 a.m., police said.
The Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner's office arrived and took possession of the body. The man has been identified, but his identity is being withheld pending a positive identification and notification of family members, officials said.
No foul play is suspected at this time, according to police.

Justin Bieber arrest: 'They finally caught him!' ex-NFL neighbor says
Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, who has publicly criticized his Calabasas neighbor Justin Bieber, took to Twitter to celebrate the pop star's arrest in Miami.
"They finally caught HIM! Glad no one was hurt, no kids in the street. Everyone grows up at some point. Hopefully he learns from it," Johnson tweeted Thursday.
Bieber was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence after police say he drag raced on a Miami Beach street and failed a sobriety test.
RELATED: What would it take for Bieber to be deported?
He was charged with resisting arrest without violence and driving with an expired license, according to the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department website.
Last May, Johnson confronted Bieber after he saw the singer's Ferrari tear past his home, where his 3-year-old daughter was playing in an electric car in the driveway. Johnson took his daughter inside and then drove to Bieber's nearby home, where he saw Bieber backing the Ferrari into a garage.
When Johnson arrived at Bieber's home, he reached out his arm to prevent the garage door from closing and confronted Bieber, who was in the driver's seat, according to police reports.
Bieber has had several run-ins with his Calabasas neighbors. Most recently, Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies served a felony search warrant at the pop star's home looking for evidence that he may have tossed eggs at a neighbor's home, apparently causing $20,000 in damage.
During the search, a substance suspected to be Ecstasy or the synthetic drug Molly was found "in plain view of the deputies," sheriff's officials said. Bieber's friend Xavier Dominique Smith, 20 -- also known as Lil' Za -- was arrested in connection with the discovery.
Bieber has not been charged in connection with the egging.
Bieber has never had a California driver's license and hasn't had a valid license anywhere in at least six months, according to state Department of Motor Vehicles records and Florida police.
In California, Bieber applied for a license on May 7, 2012, and had a year to complete the necessary requirements but he never did, according to the DMV. In July of that year, he was cited and eventually convicted of driving at an unsafe speed.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigated Bieber in a possible hit-and-run outside the Laugh Factory in Hollywood in June, where a paparazzo accused the singer of hitting him with his car. No charges were filed.
In August, Bieber was cited by a sheriff's deputy for running a stop sign and driving without a license. A friend drove the car the rest of the way home, The Times reported.

North Carolina Waterfowl Hunters Need to Practice Boating and Hunting Safety
OutdoorHub 11.06.13
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's Home From The Hunt campaign is reminding waterfowl hunters who use boats to practice both boating safety and hunting safety.
"Statistics show more waterfowl hunters die from hypothermia and drowning than gunshot wounds," said Maj. Chris Huebner, the state boating safety coordinator. "Hypothermia is the loss of body heat and, left untreated, can prove fatal. Exposure to extreme cold, such as being in cold water or wearing wet clothes in cold conditions, can increase the chance of hypothermia."
Wear protective clothing and watch the weather, he said. Let someone know where you are hunting and an approximate return time.
Additional boating safety tips include:
- Always wear a life vest.
- Don't overload the boat, especially with passengers.
- Keep hunting dogs prone in the center of the boat.
- Never move about the boat with a loaded firearm.
In the event of capsizing or swamping, stay with the boat. It will provide some flotation and will be the initial focus of a rescue attempt, said Maj. Huebner.
Waterfowl hunters should handle shotguns in a safe manner. Be aware of muzzle direction at all times. Never shoot while standing in an unsecured boat.
To hunt waterfowl in North Carolina, individuals must possess proper hunting licenses, permits, and federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp. Call 1-800-675-0263 for additional waterfowl hunting information.


text: I bought my first SLR camera (a Yashica TL-ELECTRO) when I was 17 and imagined I would become a great photographer. My love of photography, unfortunately, was thwarted by a photo-journalism class (the first "C" in college, but not the last!) as well as several packages of accidentally exposed photo paper and the high cost of film on a student budget. An unexpected gift of a Canon Rebel xSI four years ago reawakened those old, dormant dreams. A bit wiser now, I knew that photog instructor was full of bs even if technically he was pretty good. I began snapping away and haven't looked back. Mostly, I shoot nature photography because flowers and rocks don't talk back at you when you pose them.

This is legendary three-time Formula One world champion Jackie Stewart in 1973, explaining how a racecar is "like a woman."
Stewart says it's "very sensitive. It's very nervous. It's very highly strung. Sometimes it responds very nicely. Sometimes it responds very viciously. Sometimes, to get the best out of it, you have to coax it and almost caress it to do the things you want it to do. And even after you've done all these things and the car is doing exactly as you want it to do, it will immediately and with no warning change its mind and do something very suddenly and very abruptly."
Don't look for anything like this coming out of the mouth of a modern racecar driver. That's probably for the best, really.

European astronomers have discovered a true space oddity: a quasar without a detectable home galaxy. The discovery has led to speculation that the host galaxy could be made up entirely of dark matter, or that a normal galaxy collided with another object that happened to contain a quasar.
The research team studied 20 relatively close quasars (a mere five billion light years away) drawing on data from both the Hubble Space Telescope and the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). In 19 of the 20 cases, they found that the quasar was, as expected, sited at the centre of a massive galaxy.
The researchers note that observing the host galaxy of a quasar is often challenging work because the quasar completely outshines the host, masking the galaxy's underlying structure.
By combining observation data from Hubble and the ESO VLT, and making observations of a reference star at the same time, the astronomers were able to disentangle the quasar light from any possible light from an underlying galaxy.
But in the case of quasar HE0450-2958, no host galaxy could be found. This means the galaxy must be six times fainter than normal, or as much as 170 times smaller than normal. A quasar's host galaxy's radius is typically between 6,000 and 50,000 light-years, but this one can be no bigger than 300 light-years from end to end.
Nearby, astronomers observed a star-forming galaxy showing signs of a recent collision, and a strange blob - a cloud of gas about 2,500 light-years wide - just next to the quasar.
"The absence of a massive host galaxy, combined with the existence of the blob and the star-forming galaxy, lead us to believe that we have uncovered a really exotic quasar", says Frédéric Courbin from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland.
"There is little doubt that an increase in the formation of stars in the companion galaxy and the quasar itself have been ignited by a collision that must have taken place about 100 million years ago. What happened to the putative quasar host remains unknown," he said.
A quasar is a very distant source of vast quantities of radiation. Originally, astronomers thought they were nearby stars, but it turned out that they were much more distant, and so much brighter, than anyone had thought. Hence the name: quasi-stellar objects.
Quasars are thought to form when a galaxy's central super massive black hole gobbles up matter at a particularly fast rate. The galactic dust and gas fall into the black hole's accretion disk producing some very hot regions where huge quantities of energy are released.
The researchers say that the case of HE0450-2958, published in the 15 September issue of Nature, will need more study before the mystery can be unravelled. ®

NAB upbeat despite profit slide
National Australia Bank's first-quarter profit has fallen by 20 per cent because of lower values on some of its assets.
NAB's unaudited net profit in the three months to December 31 was approximately $1.26 billion, it said this morning, down from $1.6 billion in the same period in the previous year.
The bank's unaudited cash earnings in the three months to December were about $1.45 billion, up from $1.4 billion in the same period the previous year.
The main reasons for the difference between profit and cash earnings were losses on fair value and hedging impacts, NAB said.
Cash earnings rose because of a 3 per cent increase in revenue, thanks to an improved performance in wholesale banking, NAB said.
"This is a pleasing result, especially given operating conditions remain challenging both in Australia and the UK, notwithstanding recent improvements in financial markets," chief executive Cameron Clyne said in a statement.
NAB's profit in the year to September 30, 2012, fell by 22 per cent to $4.08 billion, because of massive costs associated with bad debts and restructure costs in its troubled UK businesses.
Restructuring of the core UK banking business was proceeding well, Mr Clyne said, with costs lowered and its funding mix improved.
NAB's overall cost of bad debts was $554 million in the three months to December, a fall of 10 per cent.
But there was a rise in bad debts in its personal banking division, NAB said.
NAB's costs also rose, by 4 per cent, in the three months to December because of wage increases and lower performance-based pay in the preceding months.
The bank's workforce fell by about 500 in the three months to December, largely because of the UK restructure, NAB said.

Here at Floor Coverings International Montco, we provide quality flooring with hundreds of different styles and plank hardwood flooring is one that is in demand! Plank hardwood flooring is generally the term used for any hardwood that comes in a width of three inches or greater. Hardwood plank flooring comes in almost as many varieties as there are wood, such as maple, cherry, and oak.
This style of wood flooring first gained popularity in North America with the American settlers of the 17th century, who used cut plank flooring from old growth forests. Now, in the 21st century, this style has re-surged once again. Wider planks, which can go up to 12 inches in width, are becoming increasingly desired in residential settings. In fact, there has even been movement recently to reclaim planks from old buildings and log cabins to re-purpose them in modern settings.
If you like the wide plank look, there are many different options. Some styles are actually distressed by hand to replicate the reclaimed look and give the plank a vintage feel. We even have wide plank laminate flooring if you're on a budget!
If you would like to explore this look or have questions about how a wide plank hardwood floor would look in your home, give the design associates and flooring experts at Floor Coverings International Montco a call! We serve the greater King of Prussia, Lafayette Hill, Blue Bell area and can provide you with samples and expert advice.

The Sega Saturn was pretty unattractive. The NES was pretty much just a box. Compared to some of the consoles found on Pointless Banter's list of the 10 Ugliest Gaming Consoles, they're gorgeous.
Take the Rollet Videocolor here. With it's lovely bright yellow with blue accents, it's the only video game console visible from space. Hideous, right? And that's one of the more attractive ones. Did you know the Fairchild F came with its own breast milk pumps?
The only choice on their list I disagree with is probably the Vectrex. I had one of those lovely, vector-based bastards and it was one of the most enjoyable consoles I ever owned. Wish I still had it. Unfortunately the guy I loaned it to shot himself in the head playing Russian roulette, and I never had the heart to go ask his mother for it back. You should probably just hit the link before I stray even more off topic.

Mother, mother pin a rose on me. That's what our childhood friend Diane's mother would say if any of us kids bragged. Well, we're bragging.
We beat our old employer, the guys that laid us off a year ago, and we beat the other home shopping blog with our blog Wednesday about NBC selling its stake in ShopNBC and the home shopping channel planning to get a new name and rebrand. We took the time to listen to ShopNBC's first-quarter earnings, while others who claim to cover cable and home shopping, namely Multichannel News and Home Shopping Queen, apparently failed to bother to do.
We had an hour before we put on our makeup, fixed our hair and finished packing Wednesday before our cab picked us up. We were on are way to LaGuardia and Chicago.
But we still took the time to hear the call and frantically write the story, because it's a pretty big one for the home shopping industry.
Multichannel News, the bible of the cable industry and our home for 16 years, thought the story was pretty big, too. They gave it pretty big play on their website about 24 hours after we wrote it.
Better late than never, guys. No credit to The Homeshoppingista, of course.
Home Shopping Queen wrote it up, we're pretty sure after us, but she buried the freaking lead when she did. That's what writers do when they get beat on a big story — they pretend it was not really so big.
But then, Home Shopping Queen says, "I don't enjoy muddling through dense text filled with financial numbers."
Well, The Homeshoppingista sure does. That's where the best stories are. That's where the real scoop and real news is. But then, our background is journalism.
We also gave our story to our friend Harry Jessell, who published it on TVNewscheck, with competes with B&C magazine, the sister pub to Multichannel News. How sweet it is.
We had to celebrate this little victory, so much so that we are writing this in the lobby of the Hotel Allegro in Chicago, paying $5.95 every 15 minutes on here. But we couldn't wait until we got back to Jersey late Friday to write this.
At 8 p.m., we'll be heading out to a fancy restaurant for dinner with our crew here. And we'll be drinking a Bombay Sapphire martini, with olives, the celebrate Wednesday's events.
There is a God.
Our next celebration will be when certain people get shit-canned from Multi, like we were. When that happens, we plan to walk to our favorite local watering hole, buy the bar drinks, and get "half a bag on," as our dad would put it. Karma, we know you will kick in eventually.

Japanese Economy Tops Pre-Election Concerns
Polls show Japan's main opposition Liberal Democratic Party will return to power in the Dec. 16 general election. The WSJ's Deborah Kan speaks with University of Hong Kong instructor Sebastien Fung and George Nishiyama, the WSJ's Japan policy editor, about what to expect from a new regime.

Auckland - South Africa took a lot of confidence from their breakthrough win in Australia and will not let their long drought at Eden Park intimidate them ahead of Saturday's clash against New Zealand, backline coach Ricardo Loubscher said.
The undefeated Springboks thrashed the Wallabies 38-12 to claim their first win over Australia in Brisbane since 1971 and will bid to end a 76-year winless drought against the All Blacks in Auckland on Saturday.
"Very happy with the performance (in Brisbane), I thought the opportunities we had we executed well," Loubscher, the Springbok backline coach, told reporters in Auckland on Tuesday.
"We took a lot of confidence out of last week... Last week showed that records are there to be broken so we're going to approach this week the same as every Test match we play.
"There's nothing different for us. We're going to prepare the same way and focus on our own game.
"There are still lots of areas we still feel that we need to improve so that's our focus."
South Africa lead the Rugby Championship by a point from champions New Zealand, who are also undefeated after three rounds of the southern hemisphere tournament, and Saturday's clash may prove decisive in the title race.
The Springboks managed to overcome jetlag from long-haul flights to Argentina and Australia to win their opening matches, and five players flew from France for the match in Brisbane after appearing for Top 14 clubs.
The use of fly-in fly-out players has proved controversial in South Africa but has had little effect on team cohesion, judging by the team's record winning margin against the Wallabies on Australian soil.
"I think last year this time a lot of the guys were still youngsters," flyhalf Morné Steyn, one of the team's frequent flyers, said of the Springboks' struggles last year, when they finished the tournament third after managing only two wins.
"I think that the time we've been together have made us a more experienced side and I think the confidence is there now. That's the main thing."
Steyn, renowned for booting long bombs through the goal-posts from improbable distances, flew to France after the Springboks' tight win away to Argentina in Mendoza last month to play 20 minutes for Stade Francais before flying down to Brisbane to join up with his team-mates for the Australia match.
Steyn booted 18 points to help sink Australia after notching 28 in South Africa's opener against Argentina in Johannesburg and slotting two late penalties to overhaul the Pumas in the return match a week later.
The 47-Test pivot has struggled for form in recent seasons and was dropped by coach Heyneke Meyer halfway through last year's Rugby Championship in favour of young talent Johan Goosen.
But Goosen suffered a serious knee injury when training for the Cheetahs in March, sidelining him for the season, allowing Steyn to reclaim his spot for the June tests against Scotland and Italy.
The 29-year-old finished the Super Rugby season as the competition's top points scorer for his Pretoria-based Bulls and is relishing having his second chance with the Springboks.
"You get to the end of the career so I think you realise that you must enjoy your rugby, so I think that's the important thing for me is just to enjoy every moment on the playing field and on the training field," he said.

Obama Says Path Forward Won't be Quick or Easy [PHOTOS]
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Preaching patience, President Barack Obama is telling voters at the Democratic National Convention that solving many of the nation's toughest challenges will take a few years.
Obama says that Republicans are calling for tax cuts to solve every problem. While he supported breaks for the middle class, he says he doesn't believe tax cuts for the wealthy would generate jobs or pay down the deficit.
Obama say job gains in the manufacturing sector over the last two years have reversed a decade of declines. He says the nation needs to invest in job training and education because it's the gateway to a middle-class life.
On foreign policy, Obama accused Republican challenger Mitt Romney of wanting to take the nation back to what he called an era of blustering and blundering.

September 29, 2012 | By Bruce Martin
After Denny Hamlin delivered his "called shot" by guaranteeing victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and delivering on that promise in Babe Ruth fashion, it's off to Dover Downs International Raceway for Round 3 of NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup.
And with a Chase field heavy with "Brickyard Legends" – drivers who have won the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – look who is on top of the standings after just two races. It's none other than four-time Brickyard winner and five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson.
Johnson, the winner of this year's Crown Royal Presents the Curtiss Shaver 400 at the Brickyard powered by BigMachineRecords.com is attempting to prove that not winning the title in last year's Chase was a fluke. It's the only time since 2005 that Johnson has not won the Sprint Cup title, and he is pursuing his sixth Sprint Cup title with a vengeance.
With four wins in the last eight Dover races, there is reason to keep an eye on Johnson in Sunday's race.
"We're definitely excited to be here at this racetrack," Johnson said Friday. "The stats are very good for myself and this team here. It's a track that I've enjoyed racing at from the very first lap here in an ASA car. So I'm glad to be here. I'm very happy with the start that we've had to the (Chase) season. Chicago went really well for us and then obviously last week at Loudon to run second there was a strong showing, as well. So things are working well. Clearly, there are eight more races to go, and we'll just keep working hard and see what we can do."
Although Johnson's lead in the standings is just one point over Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski and seven over NASCAR's version of the "Sultan of Swat" – Denny Hamlin, his success at Dover is quite impressive, which makes him a strong favorite for the 400-mile contest Sunday on the concrete 1-mile oval.
He has driven the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet to Victory Lane in one-third of the Dover races he has started. He swept both Dover contests in his rookie season of 2002 and has seven wins, 10 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes in 21 starts. He finished second to Kurt Busch in this race last year and drove to victory here in the most recent battle June 3.
"I think out of all the oval tracks we race on, this one is most similar to my off-road background," Johnson said of his secret to success. "The drop-off into the corner, the way the rubber lays down and you have to select a different line through the turn, kind of reminds me of dirt racing. And then you climb back up that hill and jump onto the straightaway and then go do it again and again and again. I think that's really where things work the best for me.
"The intensity you have to drive that track (Dover) with. It really fits my style. It's the closest track we have to being airborne each lap with the drop off into turns 1 and 3. It's just cool you've got to bring your big boy pants every lap there, and I love it."
While the numbers add up for Johnson, one statistic that doesn't is no driver leading the points after Dover has gone on to win the Cup title.
Johnson is not concerned.
"No, there's not much to it," Johnson said. "I think the point in that it that it's a long season, and a lot can happen. But you want every point you can get, and leading now is a great position to be in. I think any champion of the Chase would take leading out of Dover.
"I think we all look at other drivers and where they excel. You know that you're going to have to deal with that team and driver, and last week was a good example of it. We all knew, going in based on the spring race (New Hampshire) that Denny (Hamlin) was going to be the car to beat at New Hampshire, and they did that. So we all look through stats and I'm not sure that a long history plays into things, but certainly a spring race is one that you pay attention to."
Although Keselowski and Hamlin have yet to achieve success at the Brickyard and haven't achieved the "Brickyard Legend" status, one driver who fits that category is Tony Stewart of Columbus, Ind.
Stewart is fourth in the standings, 10 points behind Johnson. "Smoke" swept both races at Dover in 2000 but hasn't been back to Victory Lane in Delaware since. Those two wins are included in his 10 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes in 27 starts at the Monster Mile.
"It is definitely one that we were concerned about, and we have been concerned about this race for the last three or four years," Stewart said Friday. "We are not exactly where we need to be today, but we are a lot better off than we have been here in the past. I'm at least excited about it. I don't feel like I have to hold my breath every lap now.
"Dover is a track that is kind of a two-phase deal. It's easy to get your car too tight in the center (of the corner) trying to get it to drive up off the corner nice, and it seems like if you get it to rotate through the corner, then it's way loose off. Those are the two things that you really battle there. It's the sacrifice of where do you want to be a little bit off to accomplish having a balanced car."
Two of the four Hendrick Motorsports drivers in the Chase have yet to race to victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but have their own strong ties to the "World's Greatest Race Course" and the city of Indianapolis. Those are former United States Auto Club (USAC) star Kasey Kahne, who is fifth in the standings 15 behind teammate Johnson and fan favorite Dale Earnhardt, Jr., seventh in the standings, 26 out of the lead.
"I've always liked going to Dover," Kahne said. "It's a tough track, and you carry a lot of speed into the corners. We did really well here last fall and worked hard for a top-10 in the spring. The team has a lot of consistency right now, and we all want to keep that up."
Kahne is attempting to win at Dover for the first time and has one top-five and five top-10 finishes in 17 starts. He was fourth last September and ninth in June.
Earnhardt has one win, five top-five and eight top-10 finishes in 25 Dover starts. He was 24th in this race last year and fourth back in June.
"Getting into Turn 3 can be difficult," Earnhardt said. "There are some bumps that the rear tires sort of skate across. It can be a challenge to get the car to turn in the middle of the corner. Cars kind of slide the back tires getting in the corner, and then they kind of push through the center at both ends of the racetrack. That really doesn't show up until race time.
"We definitely had a frustrating week this past race at New Hampshire. We salvaged a decent finish considering how frustrating it was and how the car actually was performing throughout the day. That gives me a little bit of confidence that even if things aren't going quite well, we can still get a decent enough run to keep ourselves in the hunt. I feel like we're still in the hunt. Obviously there are some teams that are showing strength over the last couple weeks. But we're not giving up. There's a lot of racing left, a lot of adversity these guys have got to go through. Hopefully we can maximize these eight remaining races, capitalize on some unfortunate things happening to some other teams, and put ourselves back in the hunt.
"This thing can turn around in a week or two, and we could be right back up in the middle of the battle up front. We just got to keep working hard to give ourselves that opportunity if that opportunity arises."
2003 Brickyard 400 winner Kevin Harvick is eighth in the standings, 31 behind Johnson. At Dover, he has no wins, three top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 23 starts. He was 10th in this race last year and second in June.
"Dover is one of those places as a driver that feels really fast," Harvick said. "With these kinds of cars, it seems like the forward drive off the corner is the most important thing, but you still have to make your car turn in the center of the corner. As a driver, the car has to be comfortable to be really aggressive. It's just a fine balance for everything."
Four-time Brickyard 400 winner Jeff Gordon remains stuck in the 12th and last Chase position, 45 points out of the lead. Four-time Cup champion Gordon, who spent his formative racing years living in Pittsboro, Ind., cannot afford another bad race if he hopes to remain relevant in this year's championship battle.
"The strategy and thought process doesn't change," Gordon said. "We go out to win races, and we can't control what any of our competitors do. It's important for us to be aggressive and put pressure on them by being up front and running good. Right now we are not really on anybody's radar. They know we run good and know we can win races and yet, they know we are really far back in points. So right now it's all on us to go do what we are capable of doing."
Gordon has four wins, 14 top-five and 21 top-10 finishes in 39 Dover starts. He was 12th last September and 13th in June.
"I'm excited about being here, but we haven't been as strong as I have been in the past here at Dover until this last race here," Gordon said. "We really made some great improvements on the car, and this tire suits my driving style and it's kind of got us back to old Dover. I was having a lot of fun here last time, and I think that has given us a lot of confidence for this weekend to step it up and have a good finish."

India Developing Additional National Surveillance System; US Has No Moral High Ground To Protest
from the isn't-one-enough? dept
Like many other countries, India has been steadily extending its national surveillance capabilities. We wrote about its main Central Monitoring System (CMS) back in May last year, with more details in July. In news that shocked no one, we discovered in September that illegal surveillance is already taking place. And now, via The Economic Times, we learn that India has built another, completely independent system for spying on its citizens:
The government will shortly launch 'Netra', the defence ministry's internet spy system that will be capable of detecting words like 'attack', 'bomb', 'blast' or 'kill' in a matter of seconds from reams of tweets, status updates, emails, instant messaging transcripts, internet calls, blogs and forums.
The Hacker News site has more details of how the system will work, with information being gathered from boxes placed on the premises of ISPs:
The system will also be able to capture any dubious voice traffic passing through software such as Skype or Google Talk, says a telecom department note seen by [Economic Times]. "
NETRA is a hardware device, and will be installed at ISP (Internet service provider) level on more than 1000 locations. Each location will be called as "Node", with 300GB of storage space. So, there are 1000 nodes x 300GB = 300,000GB of total space is initially decided to set up.
A year ago, news that countries like India were setting up a nationwide surveillance system was met with a self-righteous chorus of disapproval from many Western countries. Today, India can have two of them, and the response is silence. That's a measure of how the West has lost whatever moral high ground it once had, largely thanks to the NSA's dragnet approach that makes it well-nigh impossible for the Five Eyes club and friends to criticize other nations for attempting to emulate it.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use jQuery 2.0.0 in my Windows 8 store app. The app works fine, but I get the following error when I run the app validation kit, which is required in order to publish an app to the store.
Bytecode generation
Error Found: The bytecode generation test detected the following errors:
File \\?\C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\25899MatthewKaufer.TrigonometricTriangleSolver_220.127.116.11_neutral__2hr1s851qz6de\js\jquery-2.0.0.js has JavaScript syntax or other problems.
Impact if not fixed: As a performance optimization to accelerate JavaScript execution time, JavaScript files ending in the ".js" extension generate bytecode when the app is deployed. This optimization significantly improves start-up and ongoing execution times for JavaScript.
How to fix: You may need consider one or more of these steps to fix the issue:
– Ensure that event logging is enabled
– All JavaScript files are syntactically valid; otherwise exclude the respective files from the package
– Please note that you should uninstall all previous versions of the app before deploying
Otherwise exclude the respective files from the package.
Basically, it doesn't like the code for some reason or another. Does anyone here have a fix for that?
