Military Base Honors Fallen Soldiers

Story Created: Jun 28, 2012 at 7:12 PM AKDT

Story Updated: Jun 28, 2012 at 7:31 PM AKDT

ANCHORAGE - Dozens of soldiers and friends gathered at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Thursday to remember two men killed in battle.

Nathan Davis and Vincent Ellis were deployed to Afghanistan in December with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.

?While we are losing soldiers to the war, it means we're taking it to the enemy which is good. Getting out into the unpatrolled provinces and fighting the enemy where they are. That's the way we're going to win the war,? said 1st Lieutenant Luke Friese.

Davis, 20, joined the military after high school. The California native was on his first tour of duty when an improvised explosive device killed him on June 9.

Ellis, 22, called Tokyo, Japan home. He died June 4 after being wounded by enemy fire. His comrades remember him as a hero.

?He fulfilled is obligation to his leadership and to the army by being an excellent soldier and living the warrior ethos that we seek to instill in every soldier,? said Friese, who worked with Ellis in Afghanistan.

A quote from Ellis?s Facebook page shows how he wants to be remembered.

?I wear the colors because others don?t want to. I use an M-4 so others don?t have to. I wear the uniform because I want to. I?ll lay down my life so others can live.?

Evidence of life on Mars could come from Martian moon Phobos

ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) ? A mission to a Martian moon could return with alien life, according to experts at Purdue University, but don't expect the invasion scenario presented by summer blockbusters like "Men in Black 3" or "Prometheus."

"We are talking little green microbes, not little green men," said Jay Melosh, a distinguished professor of earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences and physics and aerospace engineering at Purdue. "A sample from the moon Phobos, which is much easier to reach than the Red Planet itself, would almost surely contain Martian material blasted off from large asteroid impacts. If life on Mars exists or existed within the last 10 million years, a mission to Phobos could yield our first evidence of life beyond Earth."

Melosh led a team chosen by NASA's Planetary Protection Office to evaluate if a sample from Phobos could contain enough recent material from Mars to include viable Martian organisms. The study was commissioned to prepare for the failed 2011 Russian Phobos-Grunt mission, but there is continued international interest in a Phobos mission, he said. It will likely be a recurring topic as NASA reformulates its Mars Exploration Program.

A Phobos mission was discussed at NASA's Concepts and Approaches for Mars Exploration workshop and a report issued June 26 stated that the Martian moons are "important destinations that may provide much of the value of human surface exploration at reduced cost and risk."

Melosh collaborated with Kathleen Howell, the Hsu Lo Professor of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, and graduate students Loic Chappaz and Mar Vaquero on the project.

The researchers combined their expertise in impact cratering and orbital mechanics to determine how much material was displaced by particular asteroid impacts and whether individual particles would land on Phobos, the closer of the two Martian moons.

The team concluded that a 200-gram sample scooped from the surface of Phobos could contain, on average, about one-tenth of a milligram of Mars surface material launched in the past 10 million years and 50 billion individual particles from Mars. The same sample could contain as much as 50 milligrams of Mars surface material from the past 3.5 billion years.

"The time frames are important because it is thought that after 10 million years of exposure to the high levels of radiation on Phobos, any biologically active material would be destroyed," Howell said. "Of course older Martian material would still be rich with information, but there would be much less concern about bringing a viable organism back to Earth and necessary quarantine measures."

When an asteroid hits the surface of a planet it ejects a cone-shaped spray of surface material, similar to the splash created when someone does a cannonball into a swimming pool. These massive impacts pulverize the surface material and scatter high-speed fragments. The team calculated that the bulk of the fragments from such a blast on Mars would be particles about one-thousandth of a millimeter in diameter, or 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, but similar in size to terrestrial bacteria.

The team followed the possible paths the tiny particles could take as they were hurtled from the planet's surface through space, examining possible speeds, angles of departure and orbital forces. The team plotted more than 10 million trajectories and evaluated which would intercept Phobos and where they might land on the moon during its eight-hour orbit around Mars.

The probability of a particle landing on Phobos depends primarily on the power of the blast that launched it from the surface, Chappaz said.

"It is estimated that during the past 10 million years there have been at least four large impact events powerful enough to launch material into space, and we focused on several large craters as possible points of origin," he said. "It turns out that no matter where Phobos is in its orbit, it would have captured material from these powerful impact events."

After the team submitted its report, scientists identified a large, nearly 60-kilometers-in-diameter crater on Mars. The crater, named Mojave, is estimated to be less than 5 million years old, and its existence suggests that there would be an even greater amount of Martian material on Phobos that could contain viable organisms than estimated, Melosh said.

"It is not outside the realm of possibility that a sample could contain a dormant organism that might wake up when exposed to more favorable conditions on Earth," he said. "I participated in a study that found that living microbes can survive launch from impacts on rock, and other studies have shown some microscopic organisms can tolerate a lot of cosmic radiation."

This possibility has been a consideration for some time, and Michael Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain" brought it to public consciousness in 1969. However the movie scenario of a fatal contamination is unlikely, Melosh said.

"Approximately one ton of Martian material lands on Earth every year, " he said. "There is a lot more swapping back and forth of material within our solar system than people realize. In fact, we may owe our existence to life on Mars."

Howell also is optimistic that life is not unique to Earth.

"It's difficult to believe there hasn't been life somewhere out there in the vast expanse of space," Howell said. "The question is if the timeline overlaps with ours enough for us to recognize it. Even if we found no evidence of life in a sample from Phobos, it would not be a definitive answer to the question of whether or not there was life on Mars. There still may have been life that existed too long ago for us to detect it."

Melosh recently presented the team's findings at a joint NASA and European Space Agency meeting in Austria, and Chappaz will present the data at a meeting on July 14 in Mysore, India.

Very low glycemic foods are not surprisingly, gradual-launched sugars that require more time to release their kept electricity.

Shop smartly when choosing total-grain foods. The food?s coloration is not going to suggest that it must be complete-grain.

Google's Goggles Now on Sale—Sort Of

Throughout the year we've heard hints and whispers about Google's wild new augmented reality project?Web-connected goggles that could, for instance, overlay the directions to your destination onto your field of view. Now those future glasses are going out into the world.

At I/O, the gathering of developers Google is currently hosting near its home base in California, co-founder Sergey Brin told attendees today that the company would sell Google Glass to developers for $1500 a pop. (Only American developers can buy them for now, though.) They'll ship early next year.

Google used extreme sports to demo the technology, showing that Google Glass could become a kind of GoPro that shows exactly what you see. Developers in the room got to see live feeds from Glass-wearing parachutists who jumped from a blimp. In his talk afterward, Brin emphasized that Google wanted the creative minds in the room to further realize the device's potential.

As for the tech inside the specs: We know that Google Glass will have touch panel and a separate button that would allow the wearer to record video and take photos. Engadget has gathered the rumors about the rest, including that the eventual production model could include 3G/4G and could be controlled by your smartphone, though Google clearly has the physical inputs on the glasses in mind to be the main inputs.

'Trolls' dolls join toy and game movie craze

PR NEWSWIRE

DreamWorks Animation has signed on Chloe Grace Moretz and is in serious talks with Jason Schwartzman to bring Good Luck Troll Dolls to animated life in "Trolls."

By Cody Delistraty

It?s a face-in-palm moment of cinematic scale. Last week, Dreamworks announced that they?ve offered Jason Schwartzman the lead voice role in ?Trolls,? their?next major animation project, based on the frizzy-haired Good Luck Troll dolls. Fortunately, Deadline confirms that??Hugo?s? talented Chlo? Grace Moretz is set as the female lead, but the devastating news lies in the fact that the film, about tiny plastic dolls popular in the 1960s and again in the '90s, is even being made at all.

While the ?Transformers? series has been hyper-successful, grossing over $2.5 billion worldwide, its toy- and game-to-movie model doesn?t always fare well. ?Battleship? pulled in scathing reviews and less than a million-dollar profit, according to Box Office Mojo. Yet, this certainly hasn?t stopped major studios from being drawn to the audience recognition and simplicity offered by brand name toys and board games.

Universal's "Battleship," based on the classic Hasbro game, saw dismal reviews and meager box office return.

Universal once had a six-year partnership?with Hasbro to produce films based on their toys and games, which include ?Monopoly,? ?Candy Land,? ?Clue,? ?Ouija,? ?Magic: The Gathering,? and ?Stretch Armstrong.? While they?ve since paid to get out of much of this agreement,?Relativity Media?has said it would be making ?Stretch Armstrong? and Columbia Pictures has picked up ?Candy Land.? Universal stayed in the game too, signing on screenwriters and producers for a film based on?Atari?s late-70s video game, ?Asteroids.?

"In honor of" may be too dubious a term, so let's say, in light of "Trolls" move forward to the big screen,?here's?a look at the?notable?upcoming game- and toy-based?movies.

Hasbro

'Candy Land'
Adam Sandler is in final talks with Sony and Hasbro to star in the movie version of this board game of pure luck and sweet characters, reports Reuters.?Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad called "Candy Land," which was created in 1949 and stars a variety of sugary?characters such as Princess Frostine, Mr. Mint and King Candy, more than a mere game, saying??it is a brand that children, parents and grandparents know and love.? As such, Belgrad said, it offers a "larger than life?part" for Sandler.?While "Enchanted" director Kevin Lima is signed on and the script seems to be steadily moving forward, the 2013 release date is still tentative. We truly hope it will be made, as it will,?at the very least, be a much?appreciated?break from the usual, "That's My Boy"-type fare for Sandler.?

'Stretch Armstrong'
It was a shame to see ?Twilight?s? Taylor Lautner?bail on?the lead role as a gel-infused action figure for Relativity and Hasbro?s ?Stretch Armstrong.? But with screenwriter Dean Georgaris hired, a provisional release date of April 11, 2014, and a lucrative merchandising deal set, this film (and plenty of Stretch Armstrong toys) looks to be an odd but enjoyable?throwback that'll show "Fantastic Four's" Mr. Fantastic how superhuman limb contortion is really done.

'Asteroids'
Roland Emmerich, the director of end-times fantasies "2012," "The Day After Tomorrow" and Independence Day," is being courted by Universal Pictures to direct this movie based on a popular 1979 arcade game. The game, in which players shoot a series of white dots through a black background to stave off alien attacks, created a four-party bidding war for its rights in 2009. With so little to go off of, a lot of flexibility and creativity will be required to mine this source material for film ideas. Vulture reports that it will be set after human civilization has been destroyed and only a few colonies of humans have survived. While that's certainly vague, it?sure?sounds better than "Battleship." The post-apocalyptic video game?adaptation should hit theaters in 2014.

Column: LBJ gets a better seat among NBA's greats

Some of the NBA's greatest players ever didn't need to see a championship ring to count LeBron James in their ranks.

In what amounts to a game of "musical chairs" ? and that's what ranking "the greatest anything" comes down to ? a few sounded prepared to give up their seats. But if James wants to occupy the last one, if it's important to him to be the best of the best, the ring he picked up Thursday night better not be his last. He has a lot of ground to make up.

Michael Jordan, who stubbornly kept trying to win a championship by himself, got his first ring in his seventh season in Chicago and won six before he retired ? the second time. Ever competitive, he still refuses every offer to comment on any other player, let alone compare them to you-know-who.

Oscar Robertson, who made a career setting up teammates to succeed, squandered a decade trying to win in Cincinnati, then moved to Milwaukee and partnered with a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to get his first and only title. He couldn't have been more complimentary about James.

"He's getting smarter, he's only 27 and still too sensitive to what people think about him. He'll get over that and if nothing else, it stops the 'when are you ...' talk," Robertson said. "Then he won't give a damn what they say. That's when we'll see real LeBron come out."

It's been an article of faith in sports that sooner or later, the "next one" will come along. If not in this era, then the next, or the one after that. Robertson was the original "big guard," a threat to score, hand out assists and grab rebounds, the only player in league history to average a triple-double over the course of a season. But he played the game at roughly 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds for 14 seasons, retiring in 1974.

James is 6-8 and 250, with much the same skill set, and a RoboCop physique to boot. Considering how many individual awards he's already piled up in nine seasons ? MVPs, scoring championships, All-Star selections and record-book entries ? his accomplishments might one day dwarf all those of guys who played the same spot on the floor.

That means Jordan, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, each of whom won multiple championships. Think back to the day when the argument over best-ever was confined to the dominant big men: Bill Russell, who won 11 titles in Boston, versus Wilt Chamberlain, who won two. And if it comes down to rings, Clyde Drexler, another big guard voted onto the "NBA's 50 Greatest Players" honor roll, wonders whether James will ever get his due.

Like James, he came up short several times in the postseason in Portland, then moved to Houston alongside Hakeem Olajuwon and won his only championship.

"I'm one of those guys who says you can't view team sports the same way you view individual sports. If he gets you 30-plus points, 10 rebounds a night and I'm his teammate and I miss two free throws at the end of the night, is he a great player or not? And does he have to rely on other people for that judgment?" Drexler said, without waiting for an answer. "No.

"The guy has an unbelievable resume, he's the most unselfish, hard-working guy on the court and if you're a fan of the game, you can't help but love the way the guy plays the game. So here's one way to look at it. Before 'The Decision,' he was one of the most revered athletes' on the planet. After 'The Decision' ? and it wasn't the best way he could have handled that situation, but it's over ? people just, just sort of threw him down the stairs.

"I know what Michael (Jordan) said about playing against your rivals instead of with them. But when I got to Houston and started playing with Hakeem, frankly, I needed a lighter load. I knew I wouldn't have to work as hard.

"With LeBron, the expectations were outsized once he said he was going to Miami," Drexler said finally. "He met those once. We'll find out how much he's got left."

The funny thing about success for guys that good is that it cranks up expectations instead of easing them. What marked Jordan as special is that every offseason, after the cigars were extinguished, the champagne ran out and the trophy was passed around, he went back to work turning a weakness ? left-handed dribble, mid-range jump shots, developing a fadeaway to avoid blocked shots ? into a strength.

It's that trait that Magic thinks will ultimately decide how far James continues climbing the ranks. Noting James was already a deadly scorer, a top-shelf passer and as tough a rebounder as he needed to be, Johnson said his improved post-up game ? following extensive offseason training with Olajuwon ? had already established James as "the most unstoppable force we have in the NBA."

"Before, my biggest knock on LeBron was he was just playing off his God-gifted talent," Johnson said during a conference call before Game 5. "He was just the best athlete. But he didn't play with his head to match that. Now he's playing with his talent and with his head, and wow, watch out. This guy is going to set the league on fire for a long time. ... I know there was an earlier question about how dominant has his performance been. We look to see this from LeBron for years and years to come."

We'd better.

After all, he promised "not two, not three, not ..." well, you get the idea.

Dixons Retail to axe more than 100 stores | Business of IT | ZDNet UK

NEWS

Dixons Retail is to cut or consolidate over 100 stores as part of an ongoing transformation plan, according to the company.

The number of Dixons UK stores, which include Currys and PC World, is to be reduced from 557 in the UK to between 400 and 420, the company said on Friday. There is no timeline for the cuts, which will be implemented on a case-by-case basis as leases come up for renewal on premises.

The closures will result in a number of jobs being lost, although exact redundancy figures were not available at the time of writing. A large proportion of the stores will become 'two-in-one' combined Currys and PC World outlets.

The cuts will be made as part of the company's ongoing 'Renewal & Transformation' plan, which has seen 50 Dixons stores closed over the past year. Dixons Retail chief executive Sebastian James said the group will "continue to plan cautiously and manage costs aggressively" over the coming year.

"Against a tough economic backdrop, we have continued to deliver on a clear plan to transform the business," he added.

Dixons Retail released its full year results on Thursday. The company's earnings before interest and taxes were down year-on-year at ?115m, compared with ?128m in 2010/11.

Kasus Cyberbullying Banyak Terjadi dari Facebook

KASUS kekerasan di dunia maya (cyberbullying) menunjukkan tren peningkatan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Cyberbullying ini banyak terjadi dari penggunaan situs jejaring sosial Facebook yang saat ini sangat populer. Bahkan kekerasan tersebut tidak sedikit memakan korban, baik korban materi maupun korban kekerasan, serta pelecehan seksual.

Hal itu dikemukakan Koordinator Program Facebook Sehat dari Pusat Studi Islam (PSI) UII Yogyakarta saat menyampaikan sosialisasi Facebook-an sehat di hadapan ratusan siswa SMA/MA, dan SMK se Kabupaten Purworejo di gedung Wisma Budaya, SMAN 7 Purworejo, kemarin.

"Hasil penelitian PSI UII, pelajar sangat rentan menjadi korban cyberbullying. Oleh karena itu, para pelajar harus memahami facebook-an yang sehat, sebab pelajar merupakan salah satu kelompok terbanyak pengguna situs jejaring sosial ini," katanya.?

Lebih lanjut diungkapkan Imam, data tahun 2011 menyebutkan sedikitnya ada 178 jejaring sosial muncul di dunia maya. Facebook, merupakan jejaring sosial yang paling banyak penggunanya di Indonesia.

Jejaring sosial yang lebih terkenal dengan sebutan FB itu menjadi masalah krusial ketika dampak negatifnya mulai dirasakan. Dikatakan, Indonesia terbukti kedodoran ketika menerima FB, pasalnya Indonesia tidak menyediakan regulasi yang tegas untuk mengaturnya.

"Maka tujuan dari pengenalan program ini untuk mengajak siswa mengenali, menolak, dan tidak melakukan kekerasan di dunia maya. Terlepas dari regulasi pemerintah, mereka tentu memiliki bahasa yang lebih bisa mereka tangkap untuk menghindar dari cyberbullying," katanya.

Dijelaskan, ada beberapa kasus cyberbullying yang bermula dari pertemanan. Pada tahun 2010 saja jumlahnya ada belasan, di antaranya kasus Marietha Nova Trianing dari Sidoarjo yang sempat diilarikan dilecehkan, Sylvia Russarina dari Semarang yang hilang dan di temukan di Jambi, Nuri Rahmawati dari Bandung hilang.

Belum lagi kasus seperti adanya anak-anak sebagai korban prostitusi Eksploitasi Seksual Komersial Anak (ESKA) yang dilakukan oleh seseorang laki-laki yang telah memajang beberapa foto anak-anak Indonesia padahal sang pemilik website bukan merupakan orang Indonesia. Foto-foto dalam akun tersebut dimuat tanpa adanya ijin atau perjanjian resmi dari pemilik foto yang bersangkutan.

Cyberbullying di dunia internet dapat berupa kekerasan verbal maupun perilaku yang dilakukan oleh individu maupun kelompok terhadap individu maupun kelompok lain. "Bentuknya bisa berupa rumor, gosip, mengolok-olok, mengancam, dan menghina yang dilakukan secara berulang-ulang," imbuhnya.

Sosialisasi program save children from fear stop cyberbullying PSI UII ini rencananya diadakan di delapan kota se Jateng-DIY. Masing-masing dipusatkan di SMA N 1 Muntilan, SMA N 7 Purworejo, MAN 1 Kulonprogo, SMAN 1 Ngaglik Sleman, Klaten, SMK 1 Kasihan Bantul, SMK Jetis Yogyakarta dan MAN Wonosari Gunungkidul.

Gadgets that save you from yourself

Featured

4 hrs.

Are you your own worst enemy? If so, the following gadgets might be able to help you overcome some?relatively minor shortcomings. That is to say, if you're reading this while wearing a fake mustache while frantically trying to make your way to the border,? sorry???but you've probably got bigger problems to tackle.

Ben & Jerry's pint lock
While technically designed to prevent others from stealing your ice cream, the Ben & Jerry's pint lock or "Euphori-Lock" can serve as a dietary deterrent as well. You probably won't remember the combination, and that means trying to find where you wrote it down. Then you have to enter in the combination itself. Way too many steps???though I might not be above cracking the pint open like a coconut and going in face first like a starving castaway.? $6.64???Ben&Jerry's via That's Nerdalicious

Beer Tracker bottle opener
Every time you open a beer, the Beer Tracker bottle opener will record it digitally. Hopefully, the reality of how many beers you've had will prevent awkward moments?? such as?waking up to find you have 50 Facebook messages with comments like, "The video we made of you last night is blowing up YouTube!" $10???FredFlare

A bed that makes itself
We aren't at a point where machines can completely overcome your tendency to make a mess, but a bed that can make itself is a good place to start. The OHEA Smart Bed can do just that in 50 seconds using a system of mechanical arms, cords and rollers. Granted, you'll have to be a pretty calm sleeper in order for it to work because it won't be able to handle a tangle of sheets tossed about in the night. If that sounds doable, the OHEA Smart Bed is expected to go on sale soon.???OHEA

iPhone Tank Case
If you're the kind of person who can't make it through a year without dropping and damaging your iPhone, you might want to consider a rugged case. The Tank Case from Case-Mate offers military-grade protection thanks to a polycarbonate hard shell with silicone cushioned interior and a retractable screen shield. Sure, you might have trouble fitting it?in your pants pockets (or, possibly, your car), but it's worth it for the peace of mind right? $60???Case-Mate

Toxic Waste Cookie Jar
Whenever the lid is opened on the Toxic Waste Cookie Jar, it will alert others to your unsanctioned snacking with flashing lights and an alarm sound. Using the excuse "I only did it because the horrible cookies you made are toxic and I thought they would give me superpowers" won't help. $14.99???Perpetual Kid via That's Nerdalicious

The Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock
Do you have trouble getting up in the morning? Well, that won't be a problem with the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock. It has a maximum volume of 113 decibels (a jackhammer is around 100). If that isn?t enough, it also includes a bed shaker that you can slip under your mattress. If your heart can survive the shock, you'll always be on time. $49.99???ThinkGeek

HeadsUp
If anything, the HeadsUp sensor system proves that there a very good chance that a product exists to help you overcome just about every minor shortcoming. We've all seen garage sensor gadgets that alert you when you are about to smash into the wall, but the HeadsUp system is designed specifically to protect the expensive stuff you strap to the roof of your car. For example, if you like to go biking, you could attach a couple of waterproof sensors to the bikes, and when you return home the sensors will trigger an in-car alarm and LED sign inside the garage. In other words, it prevents you from entering the garage and smashing up your expensive gear. It's an absolute must for forgetful, outdoorsy types who have trouble with spatial relationships. $169.99???HeadsUp

FoodieFC: Aroy Dee Thai Cafe (Sunshine Plaza)

Aroy Dee Thai Cafe is located at the first level of Sunshine Plaza facing NAFA. Ever since I tried the Tom Yum over here, I have been back several times. Over the few visits, I have noticed that?Aroy Dee Thai Cafe is always very crowded during lunch time.

Thai people are very patriotic.?Thai Royal family Portrait are proudly displayed in most eateries, restaurants and shops in Thailand. Recently, I have noticed that most Thai restaurants in Singapore are displaying the Royal Family Portrait too.

If you are there during lunch, they have the Set Lunch Menu?(rice/noodle) that includes a main course and a drink (Lime/Guava/Mango/Freshly Brew Lemon Grass/Roselle Flower) for just $5.50.

I ordered the Set Lunch 'Tom Yum Chicken with Steam Rice' and my choice of drink was lime.

The Tom Yum (Tom Yam) Chicken was delicious! It was not oil and did not look spicy (not fiery red or orangey in colour). But well, appearances are deceiving... it was?very?spicy. Still it was so addictive ?that I finish everything! In addition, they were generous with the ingredients (button mushrooms, chicken chunks and tomato). The chicken chunks were tender and soft! A must order! Shiok!

Aroy Dee Thai Cafe although is not very accessible; not near any MRT stations. The nearest MRT stations are Bugis and Dhoby Ghaut stations. Despite this,?Aroy Dee Thai Cafe is very popular. The place is frequently packed. Well, the reason is because the food is great!?

If it is too crowded, no worries, there is Victor's Kitchen?(great dim sum place) nearby!?
