Cruise ship italy: Search for Survival and Missing Passengers

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:53:00 +0000

The Costa Concordia, which is operated by Costa Cruises, had sailed from Civitavecchia near Rome on Friday on a regular weekly Mediterranean cruise when it ran aground. The president of Costa Cruises, Gianni Onorato, said the main task for the company was now to assist passengers and crew, and help repatriate them. He said it was difficult to determine what had happened, but that the ship had experienced a blackout after hitting "a big rock". Mr Onorato added: "We will be working in full transparency with Italian authorities" to understand the causes of the disaster. He said normal lifeboat evacuation had become "almost impossible" because the ship had listed so quickly. Rescued passengers were initially accommodated in hotels, schools and a church on Giglio. "Usually there are 700 people on the island at this time of year, so receiving 4,000 and some in the middle of the night wasn't easy," she said. "Some people jumped in the sea so they had hypothermia." Some "tens" of British passengers are believed to have been on board, said the UK Foreign Office, which has sent a team to the area. The Divers are searching rooms in the Costa Concordia, which is lying on its side 200m (650ft) off Giglio island. It sank on the first night of a Mediterranean cruise on Friday. Most of its 4,000 passengers and crew reached land by lifeboats but some swam ashore. Three people died. Late on Saturday, two people were found alive on board. Rescuers have reached a man and a woman stranded in a cabin two decks down on the half-submerged ship, according to Italian media reports. The precise number of those who remain unaccounted for is unclear. Late on Saturday local official Giuseppe Linardi said up to 41 people were missing.

Speaking from his district office on Monday after announcing his plan to withdraw from the House of Representatives, Mr. Frank said he was tired of the partisan battles that there was hot when he won the presidency three decades ago, tired of the campaign who hates, and in 71, flat tired.
I have been doing this for 45 years with a six-month sabbatical, "Frank said in an interview, referring to his political career, which began as an aide to former Mayor Kevin White of Boston." It was a privilege to fight for the quality of life of people, but I'm ready to put a little more quality in my own life. Mr. Frank said that he intended to serve a longer period, but after seeing his district redesigned, which would give more than 300,000 new components and does not include workers in New Bedford, one of its strongholds, he changed his mind .

But on this Saturday and Sunday, the earth moved - at least 23 times - and football was not involved.
Earthquakes, powerful standards Midwestern cities hit an hour drive northeast of Oklahoma City. They began early Saturday morning and continued intermittently through the weekend.
On Saturday night, the area experienced the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the state. There were no serious injuries were reported, but minor damage to roads and buildings was reported, according to the Sheriff's Department in Lincoln County, the epicenter of many earthquakes.
The region's geological activity has increased in recent years, earthquakes have occurred with greater frequency and intensity. The great earthquake on the night of Saturday, which occurred at 10:53, had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6, according to the Center of the National Earthquake Information, a division of the United States Geological Survey.
The USGS said the quake Saturday night was shallow, about three miles deep, and that the epicenter was four miles east of Sparks, which is about 44 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.
That quake followed by smaller ones earlier in the day, including one at 2:12 am with a preliminary magnitude of 4.7. Its epicenter was in Prague, about 50 miles east of Oklahoma City.
Since mid-2009, the State has had earthquakes 10 times more than normal, said Austin Holland, research seismologist with the Geological Survey of Oklahoma. In 2010, the earth under the feet of Oklahoma 'moved more than 1,000 times, but only about 100 were strong enough to be felt.
"They have no idea," said Holland, of the increase. "It could be a natural cycle, just do not know."
Unlike prone to earthquakes in California and Japan, Oklahoma does not rest on the fragmented areas where two tectonic plates rub against each other. However, the state geophysical activity has only been recognized in earnest for about 50 years, Mr. Holland said, making it difficult to draw conclusions or to recent activity in context.
But the state has faults that are buried, as Wizetta failure, also known as the Seminole uprising in eastern Oklahoma City, where the pressure to build.
"You still get earthquakes in the plate. That does not mean that there is a plate boundary, but there is a failure," said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the Centre National Earthquake Information.
The pressure is released as tremor, which struck as residents over the weekend in Prague, Oklahoma, where the damage visible in the morning on Sunday includes the chimneys had collapsed at home.

Since the earthquake on Saturday night, there have been 11 aftershocks measuring over 2.5 on the Richter scale, Mr. Blakeman said.
Mr. Holland said the intensity of earthquakes in Oklahoma "could go either way."
But this being of Oklahoma football fans in Norman and Stillwater Not to be outdone by an earthquake on Saturday.

Do a Barrel Roll Googles

Did the Earth move for you? The image in your browser should — well, it should have done a barrel roll. Is it a takeoff on Apple’s iPhones and iPads with their built-in accelerometers — those little gizmos that tell a device when it’s been moved, turned on its side, propped up with one end on top? One blogger suggested Google is invoking Nintendo’s “Star Fox.”
No such notions, says Google, which sent us this explanation:
“Today’s fun query, ‘do a barrel roll,’ was created by a Google software engineer with the primary goal of entertaining users — while showcasing the power of CSS3, a presentation feature of modern browsers. The “do a barrel roll” query, which causes the search page to spin, will remain in place for a while.

Ryan Howard Phillies say they have broken the Achilles tendon

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 02:21:00 +0000

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - First baseman Ryan Howard of the Phillies could miss the start of spring training and possibly part of the regular season after tearing an Achilles tendon.
The first power hit was injured on the last play of Philadelphia, which closed the season loss to St. Louis in Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Friday night, falling to run out of the box batting at the time.
The team said Saturday night that an MRI revealed a torn left Achilles tendon Howard.
"They can not have surgery until the inflammation resolves, and has not determined that the surgery is performed," said the Phillies in a statement. "The recovery time will not be known until after the surgery is complete, and there is no guarantee that will be ready for spring training."
Injuries of this type require at least six months of recovery. When soccer star David Beckham broke his Achilles tendon on March 14 last year, was shelved until September 11.
Voluntary reporting date for position players is in late February, and outdoor Phillies Pittsburgh on April 5, two days shy of six months after Howard got injured.
Howard, 2006 NL MVP, hit .253 with a team of high-33 and 116 homers this season to help Philadelphia win its fifth straight NL East title. The Phillies set a club record with 102 victories.
Howard was 2 to 19 (.105) with one homer and six RBIs in the National League playoffs against the Cardinals. The slugger went 0-4 at the end of the series, as Chris Carpenter pitched St. Louis to a 1-0 victory, ending with a surprising victory for the Phillies.
Philadelphia lefty Cole Hamels also said it has removed loose bodies in his left elbow surgery on Friday and again a week later to repair a hernia.
Right fielder Hunter Pence and second baseman Placido Polanco will both have an MRI to assess their hernias. Polanco is likely that surgery and examination will help determine what needs pence.
First baseman Ross Gload will probably be arthroscopic surgery on his right hip after being re-examined by Dr. Bryan Kelly.

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:09:00 +0000

NSTE, the company unveiled what looks an awful lot like an iPhone 4 on the outside, with an innovative feature that turns the device into a mobile voice-activated assistant to schedule appointments and perform other tasks.
It is a measure of how Apple has legions of fans accustomed to regular changes, the design is striking that the news of the latest version of the iPhone qualify as a disappointment to some. Complaints about the announcement of the new phone, the iPhone 4S, spread on Twitter throughout the day and the company's shares fell as much as 5 percent, but recovered most of those losses at the end of trading.
"At the end of the day, there are still going to be long lines for this," said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray. "They could have been even more if the hardware had changed."

The new model of iPhone, which goes on sale octubre14, with pre-orders beginning Friday, is virtually indistinguishable from its predecessor on the outside. But underneath your skin Apple made major changes, the package with a better camera that shoots video and sharper images. The device also includes a more powerful chip, the A5, the same microprocessor is the brain of the iPad, to produce better graphics and other improvements.
Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive, presided over the event like Steven P. Jobs had on similar occasions before leaving the highest office in August. Mr. Cook said that while the iPhone is the smartphone 4 more sold worldwide, Apple believes the company still has a lot of people who want to convert.
"We believe that eventually all phones to be smartphones," he said. "This market is 1.5 million units per year. It is a huge opportunity for Apple."
Mr. Cook and other Apple executives also highlighted a series of products support the new phone, but the centerpiece of the presentation, the new device is the "Virtual Assistant" feature, Siri, a company called Apple acquired last year that originally developed the technology. While the iPhone 4 and responds to voice some basic commands - to make phone calls, for example - Siri is designed to include a much wider range of natural language instructions.
For example, Apple executives making the technology proves an iPhone, "Do I need a raincoat today?" When the device replied, "Sure looks like rain today."

Garofalo: Herman Cain a Paid prop to ‘deflect’ charges of GOP

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:50:00 +0000

Janeane Garofalo know why long-shot Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain in the race for 2012. If not selected, or a bright light on issues you want to move forward. No, says Garofalo: It is an established plant species to isolate the GOP from charges of racism.
"It is not really new," said Garofalo. "For the first time I saw him, especially after the debate Frank Luntz Fox first and as you know, has zero credibility - has these supposed surveys" people, simply, "after these debates Fox - and asked who won the debate . And he was about to say that if you raise your hand and help before the end of the hand around the world came to support Herman Cain. Therefore, it seemed as if they had been trained to support Herman Cain.
"I believe that Herman Cain is in this presidential race because it diverts the inherent racism in the Republican Party, the conservative movement, the tea party of course, and the late 30's, the Republican Party has moved more and more to the right, also the race of gay bulls bulls, bulls religion. "
Garofalo also believes that such party apparatus is behind Cain's candidacy for president.
"But Herman Cain, I feel like it is being paid by someone to participate and run for president for you to go, 'Oh, can not be racist. It is a black man. It is a black man asking Obama to be submitted impeachment "or" It's a black that is anti-Muslim "or" There is a type black tea party '"he continued. "I feel like, well, not to suit the purposes of who astroturfs these things, whether the Koch brothers or ALEC or Grover Norquist or anything. It may even Karl Rove. "Let's Herman Cain involved so that deflects the blatant racism of our Republican Party."

Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman Being Considered for HP CEO Job two Replace Apotheke

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:12:00 +0000

Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is being considered by Hewlett-Packard directors as a possible candidate for CEO, in a move that would replace its current leader Léo Apotheker, according to several sources close to the situation.
The appointment of Whitman — a longtime and experienced Silicon Valley exec, who joined the board of Hewlett-Packard in January — to the top job at HP is by no means a done deal, sources said.

But a significant contingent on the board is keen to remove Apotheker after what some directors consider a series of management mishaps.
If it occurs, it would be the second major CEO ouster in a short time — Yahoo recently fired its CEO Carol Bartz due to lackluster performance.
Her role there — which has largely been seen as a temporary one — has included acting as a strategic adviser to start-ups and evaluating investment opportunities.
Sources said Whitman — who has also been active with her family foundation — has shown some interest in talking about taking the HP job.
Turning to Whitman would not be a surprise, given there are few execs in tech experienced enough to run such a large and complex organization as HP.
Still, her expertise has mostly been in the consumer space and she has never run what is largely a hardware company and one with major enterprise clients.
So, if appointed, Whitman would need a lot of help, especially to fix one with as many troubles as HP has seen of late.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. ends Victor Ortiz with a single and bizzare punch in Round 4!

louievapor@yahoo.com (jerome) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 08:08:00 +0000

Floyd Mayweather's knockout punches on Victor Ortiz, though technically legal, were anything but ethical.
Mayweather ran his career record to 42-0 and stole away the WBC Welterweight Championship belt from Ortiz with a devastating two-punch combination in the fourth round.

To characterize the bout-ending sequence of events as strange, would be an understatement. "Surreal" might work, but "dirty" just sounds better. "Cheap" and "gutless" would work as well, possibly even better, depending on how strongly you feel about the result.
The fiasco began in the fourth round when Ortiz recaptured the momentum with a quick series of blows, pummeling Mayweather against the ropes. Amidst that barrage, Ortiz inexplicable launched his head at Mayweather's, thereby forcing referee Joe Cortez to intervene and register a point deduction on Ortiz's part for an illegal headbutt. Ortiz immediately apologized to Mayweather for what might have been interpreted as a cheap shot on his part.

Albert Imre Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986), a Hungarian-born biochemist, was the first to isolate vitamin C, and his research on biological oxidation provided the basis for Krebs' citric acid cycle. His discoveries about the biochemical nature of muscular contraction revolutionized the field of muscle research. His later career was devoted to research in "submolecular" biology, applying quantum physics to biological processes. He was especially interested in cancer, and was one of the first to explore the connections between free radicals and cancer. Szent-Gyorgyi won the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in biological oxidation and vitamin C, and the Lasker Award in Basic Medical Research in 1954, for contributions to understanding cardiovascular disease through basic muscle research.

The Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory Library is the repository for the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Papers, which range from 1894 to 1995. The collection contains photographs, oral history interviews, published articles, video recordings, and lectures.
As part of its Profiles in Science project, the National Library of Medicine has collaborated with the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory Library to digitize and make available over the World Wide Web a selection of the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Papers for use by educators and researchers. This site provides access to the portions of the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Papers of the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory Library that have been selected for digitization. Individuals interested in conducting research in the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Papers are invited to contact the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory Library.
