Obama: Gun Laws Should Be ?Common Sense?

Four days after the deadly theater shooting in Colorado, President Obama called for ?common sense? when it comes to gun laws Wednesday, reports the Washington Post.

Speaking before the National Urban League?s annual conference in New Orleans, Obama called for toughening standards on background checks in an effort to prevent the mentally unstable and criminals from getting their hands on guns.

While saying he believes in the Second Amendment right to bear arms, he said that such regulations ?shouldn't be controversial. They should be common sense."

He added: ?I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers not in the hands of criminals, that they belong on the battlefield of war not on the streets of our cities,? according to The Hill.

Facebook's stock tumbles after 1st public quarter

NEW YORK (AP) ? Facebook's first earnings report as a public company had solid numbers, but in the end it landed with a thud ? much like its rocky initial public offering two months ago.

Facebook reported stronger-than-expected revenue and a gain in user numbers Thursday. But investors weren't impressed and after a brief spike, its stock fell more than 10 percent, or $2.74, to $24.10 in after-hours trading. The decline means Facebook's stock will most likely open at its lowest level since going public.

It's another big disappointment for the Harvard-born company that was supposed to usher in the next Internet boom.

"They didn't break any banks," said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst at research firm eMarketer. "They did not come out any better than anybody had expected."

What may have rattled investors is that Facebook's revenue growth has slowed. Between 2009 to 2010, the company's revenue nearly tripled. In the first quarter of this year, revenue climbed 44 percent. In the second quarter, Facebook Inc.'s revenue increased 32 percent to $1.18 billion from $895 million a year earlier. Analysts, on average had expected slightly lower revenue of $1.16 billion, according to FactSet.

For a freshly public company such as Facebook, the decelerating revenue growth is a concern. A bet on fast-growing revenue is the reason investors are willing to value new companies highly even if they are not making a profit. Another reason jittery investors may be even more nervous: Facebook didn't offer investors and financial analysts its outlook for the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, the number of people who access Facebook regularly inched closer to 1 billion. The company said it had 955 million active monthly users as of June 30, up 29 percent from a year earlier. At the end of the first quarter, it had 901 million users.

Overall the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company posted a loss of $157 million, or 8 cents per share in the April-June period, mainly due to compensation expenses it incurred when it paid $1.3 billion in restricted stock and related taxes for employees as part of the IPO. The loss compared with earnings of $240 million, or 11 cents per share, in the second quarter a year ago. The company's adjusted earnings of $295 million, or 12 cents per share, matched Wall Street's expectations.

The results come two months after Facebook's stock flopped on its first trading day, on May 18. The day began with glitches with the Nasdaq stock market that delayed trading by half an hour. It didn't get much better from there. Despite months of hoopla that had investors thinking it would soar, the stock closed just 23 cents above its $38 IPO price. It has not reached that level since.

Though Facebook had a lot riding on its first public report, Wall Street's outlook was muted, which could be another reason for the stock's decline.

"People are waiting for a really huge growth moment in revenue, advertising, dollars per user," said Alex Ashby, research analyst at Global X Funds, a provider of a social media exchange-traded fund. "People had expected that Facebook is going to revolutionize advertising...we think it's still a definite possibility, but maybe further down the road."

Investors were holding out hope that Facebook would far exceed expectations ?even though the company effectively warned investors before its IPO that Wall Street's expectations were too high. In a filing issued a week before its IPO, for instance, Facebook said its mobile users are growing at a faster pace than the number of ads on its mobile platform.

Analysts took that as a sign that their estimates were out of whack and many of them reduced their estimates for Facebook's projected revenue and earnings.

Even though the number of people who use mobile devices and tablet computers to access Facebook had been growing fast, Facebook didn't start showing ads on its mobile app until this spring. Facebook had 543 million active monthly mobile users at the end of the quarter, a 67 percent increase from a year earlier.

In a conference call with analysts, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook's mobile users are more active than those who use the personal computer version.

"On average mobile users are around 20 percent more likely to use Facebook on any given day," he said. "So mobile not only gives us the potential to connect more people with our services and also gives us the ability to provide more value and more deeply engaging experience."

Facebook said its revenue from advertising totaled $992 million, a 28 percent increase from the same quarter last year. That number accounted for 84 percent of total revenue. The company did not say what portion was from mobile advertising. The rest came from payments and other fees, money Facebook makes from Zynga games and other apps.

LG?s Q2 2012 Earnings: $138M In Net Profits, Up 46% YOY, Phone Sales Still Lagging

LG has been turning a corner of late, getting its mobile division out of a six-quarter-long rut. Today's Q2 report outlines a 46 percent increase in net profits year-over-year at $138 million, though phone sales continue to be an obstacle. Overall revenues went up from last quarter, but are still down from a year ago. The handset division in particular had an operating loss of $49.5 million, which has a lot to do with the decline in feature phone sales. Smartphone sales, on the other hand, rose to 44 percent of all units sold, which is up from Q1's 36 percent.

Police: Ohio suspect asked to confess at NY church

NEW YORK (AP) ? Nine days after a slain woman's body was discovered in a burning home in Ohio, her fugitive boyfriend turned up at a New York City church seeking to make a confession, police said Wednesday.

Authorities in Columbus had charged Jonathan Smith with murder last week after identifying him as a suspect in the death of his girlfriend, Darlene Hart.

Amid a manhunt, Smith showed up Monday at St. Francis of Assisi church in Manhattan and "asked to make a confession," said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne.

Browne had no information on what Smith said to make clergy call the police, or whether he revealed anything in a confessional. But after NYPD officers arrived, the suspect made statements about the slaying in Ohio, the spokesman said.

Smith, 48, was arrested and waived extradition Wednesday at a brief court appearance. A public defender told the judge Smith's attorney in Ohio had instructed him not to answer questions in New York. Reached by phone, the attorney declined to discuss the case.

A man answering the phone at St. Francis of Assisi on Wednesday said no one there would comment.

On July 14, authorities responding to a report of a fire at a Columbus home discovered Hart's body in first-floor hallway. Police at the time said they were looking for Smith, and that he was driving a white 2006 Acura with Ohio plates.

Police gave an update Friday saying Smith was charged with murdering the 47-year-old victim, but didn't give a cause of death.

On Tuesday, Columbus police said they had dispatched investigators to New York to try to interview Smith. They had no immediate comment on Wednesday.

The Best How To Advice In Home Improvement | ApostolicCM.com ...

While printing up a full budget for every project is always smart, always add a little extra to your final price even if you think you have everything covered. It?s better to be ready for the unexpected if it occurs than to have your whole project stalled because you?re short a few dollars.

Patch holes in drywall using mesh. First spread a layer of drywall mud into the hole and around its edges. Then press the patch into the mud so that it adheres evenly to the surface of the wall. Trowel the mud carefully over the patch, allow to dry, and then sand to smooth.

Consider buying Marmoleum to make your home improvement project more Earth friendly. It?s made from linseed oil and natural pigments which are far safer for the environment. You can also choose other renewable resources like cork, bamboo, or eucalyptus, all of which come in easy to install forms.

Consider adding an extra bathroom to boost the value of your home. Even if you do not plan on using it except when you have a guest over, the expenses linked to an additional bathroom are definitely worth it. If you have a house with two levels, build the bathrooms on top of one another to save on plumbing.

Take a sponge to your drywall! Don?t sand your drywall seams, sponge them. With practice, a wet sponge is just as effective in smoothing out the seams of a drywall job as is careful sanding. The advantage is that sponging doesn?t kick up all of the dust that sanding does.

When building an addition to your home, make sure to use insurance-friendly materials. Cement or steel buildings present less of a liability to the insurance company in case of fire, so they charge lower premiums for using them. Wood framed buildings will greatly increase your premiums, because these are much more likely to be damaged in any sort of disaster or fire.

Is your garage door looking a little bit drab? Try to add some color to it by painting it with a fresh coat of paint. Because you constantly move your garage door it can get worn down quickly. If you add a new coat of paint, your garage will look fresh and new again.

If you are thinking about investing in a home security system within your home, be sure to do your research. Bring in a professional for a consultation. They will normally do this free of charge. If you have to, try a few different companies and find the one with the best deal.

If you use a variety of appliances or computers and peripheral devices, use power strips. Using power strips prevents wasteful energy use because the strips ensure your devices are only drawing power when they are in use. Appliances, cell phones and computers draw power even when they are not in use when you plug them directly into an outlet.

Make sure that you make a realistic budget before you start making any improvements to your home and you do your best to stick to the budget. While there are many factors that can make things cost a bit more than expected, you should not be spending thousands of dollars more than you can afford.

When installing new kitchen cabinets, it is very important to be sure that each cabinet is screwed securely to a wall stud. Locate and mark all wall studs before beginning the installation so you know exactly where to place your screws. An inexpensive stud finder from the local hardware store, helps to make this process easy.

Whenever your home improvement work requires the use of the street, inform your neighbors as far in advance as you can. Major renovation work often calls for blocking part or all of the road to make deliveries and shift equipment. Your neighbors will appreciate a little warning before you inconvenience them this way.

Use carpet samples to carpet a whole room! Retail stores often throw away their samples. Cut each sample up into smaller pieces and tack or glue them into place for free floor covering. Cut them in identically sized pieces for a tile effect or cut them in irregular geometric shapes for an abstract look.

As has been noted above, home improvement means different things to different people. Sometimes, all that is needed to help us cement our ideals and to put in place a plan of attack is a tip or two. This article provides those tips. It will help you to overcome that feeling of being overwhelmed and get you started in accomplishing real goals.

The Differences Between Buckingham Palace and Buckingham House

We all know that Buckingham Palace, London is the main residence of the British Monarch ? presently Queen Elizabeth II. But did you know that it was originally called Buckingham House and built for the Duke of Buckingham three centuries ago. That building has changed much since with time and development ultimately seeing it become Buckingham Palace and a Royal residence.

It became the property of King George III in 1762 and became known as The Queen?s House as it was used as a private residence for Queen Charlotte. Various enhancement and development work over the years saw the Duke?s original townhouse mushroom in size and what was Buckingham House became Buckingham palace when Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837 with it becoming the official residence of the British Monarch ever since.

Queen Victoria added a new wing to the Palace to accommodate her expanding family with this new wing featuring the iconic balcony looking out over the Mall and from which the Royal Family wave to the masses on important royal events such as the recent wedding of Prince William in 2011.

Queen Elizabeth II has been in residence for sixty years as Queen celebrating her Diamond Jubilee last month (June 2012) with the Palace featuring in those celebrations hosting a major concert by many contemporary performers.

Buckingham Palace is open to the public in part with visits to, and tours of the State Rooms, Ballroom and Gardens available in August and September whilst Her Majesty is not in residence. If you intent to take the tour then booking in advance is strongly suggested as places are limited.

A traditional ceremony (and popular tourist attraction) performed at the Palace is the Changing of the Guard which is performed each day in summer and alternate days in winter. This is quite a sight with all the pomp of the new guard marching from Wellington Barracks and the changing of the sentries.

That is far from the only ceremonial happenings with the palace State Rooms used for all manner of official business of state, official receptions, state banquets and diplomatic visits. For example people who are awarded an honour (for example an O.B.E or M.B.E) by the Queen receive their honour from her at Buckingham Palace in a ceremony known as an Investiture.

The transformation over the centuries from Buckingham House in to the Buckingham Palace we have today has seen in become a truly iconic building ? quite possibly one of the best known in the world. Rich history and the Royal connections mean that the palace will be forever associated with the English Monarchy and proud tradition.

Given the connection between Buckingham House and Buckingham Palace, Buckingham House is used as a hotel name, particularly appropriate perhaps with the hotel of the same name in Chester. The city has legitimate Royal connections as Prince Charles is the Earl of Chester with his wife, Camilla, holding the title of Countess of Chester.

So we have gone in a historical roundabout kind of way from Buckingham House to Buckingham Palace and back again via Chester and Prince Charles. All quite thought provoking.

Not to be confused with Buckingham Palace, the Buckingham House Hotel is located in Chester. A 4 Star graded elegant Victorian house built in 1880 with six rooms spread over three floors. All rooms are ensuite and individually decorated with period furnishings. It is also available on a self-catering basis for those seeking such accommodation in the area.

Getting The Right Deal On The Right Auto Insurance Package ...

Buying auto insurance can be important in regards to the life of your vehicle. You need to do all of your research so that you don?t wind up paying for a policy that doesn?t work for you or losing money to a policy scam. There are some tips listed below to help you.

Auto Insurance Quote

Mistakes do happen! Check your driving record with the Department of Motor Vehicles ? before you get an auto insurance quote! Make sure your driving record is accurate! You do not want to pay a premium higher than you have to ? based on someone else who got into trouble with a license number similar to your own! Take the time to make sure it is all correct!

Be sure to get a new auto insurance quote every time you move to a less populated area. Since urban and suburban areas have higher incidences of accidents, the insurance rates for cars driven in more rural areas are significantly lower. In other words, you can save some serious cash by changing your address and requesting a new rate quote as soon as you move.

Car Insurance Quote

Get a car insurance quote before you purchase a new vehicle. One of the major factors in how much your policy will cost you is the kind of car that you own. The same brand of car with a different model can change your yearly rates by a thousand dollars. Make sure you know that you can afford the insurance before you leave with the car.

Figure out how many miles you drive in a year before you get a car insurance quote. This is another large factor in auto insurance premiums, so you want to make sure the company has an accurate estimation of the amount of time you spend on the road. This could add up to big savings on your quote.

Look at your driving record before you get a car insurance quote. It may be inaccurate and contain old information that does not apply to your current situation. This can lead to elevated car insurance quotes and cost you a substantial amount of money. Make sure that your driving record has correct information.

Car Insurance Companies

If you are trying to save on your auto insurance, increasing your deductible will give you the best savings. Most car insurance companies will charge a higher premium to the customer for the luxury of having a lower insurance deductible. If you choose a higher deductible, this will mean that you will pay higher out-of-pocket costs if you are involved in a car accident or if you need to file an insurance claim.

You need to be sure that you are working with a reputable car insurance company. There are many smaller car insurance companies that claim to be able to give great coverage but in actuality, they cannot compete with the big insurance companies at all. You may not have the coverage that you think you have.

Add an anti-theft device to your car, either in the form of an alarm or simply a locking steering wheel bar. Most car insurance companies offer significant discounts for cars that have anti-theft devices. The cost of replacing your car after theft is a significant part of your auto insurance premium, so reducing that risk reduces your premiums.

As stated before in this article, auto insurance is required by many states. Those who drive without auto insurance may face legal penalties, such as fines or jail. Choosing the right auto insurance for your needs may be hard, but with help from the tips in this article, it should be much easier to make that decision.

Know what are the things to consider and some tips on how you will be able to effectively choose among car insurance companies the insurance that meets your needs.

Is Your Child or Grandchild Leaving for College this Fall ...

Alice and Mark drove John out to Worcester and dropped him off at his dorm. The college was about two hours from their home on Cape Cod. Once he was moved in, Alice gave him a tearful goodbye. Things seemed to be going well that first semester of college. They talked and texted regularly. John hadn?t come home yet and everyone was excited to see him during the Thanksgiving break.

About 10pm on the Thursday before Thanksgiving, Alice and Mark received a call from Frank, John?s roommate. Frank explained that he was at the emergency room of the local hospital. He explained that he and John had been in a bad car accident. Frank was okay, but John didn?t seem to be doing well. The hospital wouldn?t tell Frank anything and he thought they should come to the hospital right away. Mark called the hospital to find out what was happening, but they would not tell him any information because John had not given them permission to discuss his medical care with anyone.

The drive to Worcester was nightmarish. When Alice and Mark finally arrived they found out that John had been moved to a room in the critical care unit. ?They went up to check on him. ?The nurse explained that John was resting now and while it might be a while before he was 100% he should be okay. ?Alice and Mark were relieved and started to ask more questions. But the nurse said until John woke up and gave permission for them to discuss his medical care she could not give any more information. Eventually, John did wake up and gave permission for his parents to speak to the doctors about his care. How could something like this happen?

It happens every fall at one college or another. Why? Because once a person reaches age 18, that person is a legal adult.? As an adult, no one else is entitled to make medical or financial decisions for us unless we authorize them to so. Our medical information is private and the federal HIPAA law says it is against the law for any medical person to discuss your private medical information with anyone beside yourself.

How can this situation be avoided? Well, prior to going to college, John should sign three basic documents: a HIPAA release, a healthcare proxy and a durable power of attorney. ?With these three documents John?s parents would be able to get the information they wanted about his situation from the hospital and make legal and medical decisions for John if John was not able to make them for himself.

Durable Power of Attorney ? This is a legal document in which your child/grandchild designates who he wants to make legal and financial decisions for him if he cannot make them for himself.? Our DPOA is extremely comprehensive.? It allows the agent to handle virtually all legal and financial matters for your child/grandchild.? Our DPOA is in effect right away.? This means the agent can use it even if the child/grandchild is not disabled. This is necessary for the DPOA to be accepted at many financial institutions.? Therefore, it is very important that your child/grandchild pick only people whom he trusts to be his agent on his Durable Power of Attorney. Every Durable Power of Attorney should have a primary agent and an alternate agent who would act only if the primary agent is unable to act for your child/grandchild.

Health Care Proxy ? This is a legal document in which your child/grandchild designates how he would want his agent to make his medical decisions if he cannot make them for himself.? It is only effective when a doctor indicates in writing that your child/grandchild is not able to make medical decisions for himself.? Every Health Care Proxy should have a primary agent and an alternate agent.

HIPAA Release ? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act preserves the privacy of your child/grandchild?s medical information.? It prohibits access to his medical information to anyone except himself.? It also makes it very difficult for family members to assist each other with medical issues such as insurance, finding out about test results, speaking to a doctor or pharmacy about a prescription.? In our HIPAA Release, your child/grandchild authorizes the people listed on it to have access to his medical information.? The HIPAA agent can fax or give a copy of the HIPAA Release to the medical provider and then the medical provider will be allowed to speak with that person.

If you have a child or grandchild leaving for college, call about our College Student package. It is only available to post high school students who are children or grandchildren of Surprenant & Beneski, P.C. clients and are under the age of 24. The regular price for these three documents is $950 but during August and September of 2012 we will provide them to qualified college students for one payment of $750 or 3 payments of $260. Call us at????? 508-994-5200 or go to our website www.myfamilyestateplanning.com to see if you qualify.

This handout is for illustration purposes only.? This handout does not constitute legal advice.? There is no attorney/client relationship created with Surprenant & Beneski, P.C. by this handout.? Do Not make decisions based upon information in this handout.? Every family is unique and legal advice can only be given after an individual consultation with an elder law attorney.?

Sony LT29i Hayabusa'n?n uluslararas? versiyonuna ait g?r?nt?ler s?zd?

NTT Docomo operat?r?yle bir s?redir Japonya'da sat??? devam eden Xperia GX'in LT29i model numaral? uluslararas? versiyonuna ait g?r?nt?ler internete s?zd?. Sony'nin 2012 ikinci yar?s? i?in geli?tirdi?i Hayabusa kod ad?yla an?lan amiral gemisi, Japonya'ya ?zel olarak haz?rlanan telefondan gerek tasar?m gerekse donan?m a??s?ndan farkl?l?k g?sterecek

?

Daha ince ve farkl? bir krom ?er?eve ile gelen LT29i, Sony'nin Japonya'da kulland??? NFC tabanl? ?deme sistemi FeliCa logosunu ta??m?yor. 4G LTE ileti?im teknolojisini desteklemeyen ak?ll? telefonun 1.5 GHz h?z?nda ?ift Krait i?lemciye sahip Qualcomm'un Snapdragon S4 serisi bir ?ipsetle donat?lmas? bekleniyor. Ancak grafik yongas?n?n Xperia GX'teki Adreno 225 de?il, yeni nesil Adreno 320 olaca?? belirtiliyor. Bu konuda hen?z kesinle?mi? bir bilgi bulunmuyor.

?

4.55 in? b?y?kl???nde 1280 x 720 piksel ??z?n?rl?kl? ekran, 1GB RAM, 13MP yeni nesil Sony y???nl? CMOS kamera sens?r?n?n e?lik etti?i amiral gemide, ?uan i?in Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich s?r?m? mevcut. Ayr?ca dola??m butonlar? ekran ?zerinde yer al?yor. Tasar?m?, 2011 y?l? amiral gemi telefonu Xperia Arc'tan esinlenilerek olu?turulmu?.

?

Genel bir ?r?n oldu?u i?in NTT Docomo logosu kald?r?larak yerine markan?n ad? getirilmi? ve ?n panelin alt?na; Xperia ibaresi eklenmi?. Test a?amas?ndaki bir prototip oldu?u varsay?lan LT29i, "Sony Ericsson" markas?n? ta??yor. Cihaz?n sat??a haz?r hali, Sony yaz?s?yla gelecektir. Ancak arka k?s?mdaki eski logonun bir s?re daha kullan?lmaya devam edece?i tahmin ediliyor.

?

Sony, yeni amiral gemisini ne zaman duyuracak bilmiyoruz. Halihaz?rda LT29 ve LT30 model numaralar?n? ta??yan ?st d?zey ak?ll? telefonlar var. Tokyo merkezli ?reticinin, uluslararas? amiral gemi ak?ll? telefonunu LT30 model numaras?yla piyasaya s?rme olas?l??? daha y?ksek g?r?n?yor.

?

?irketin y?neticileri, k?sa s?re ?nce G?ney Kore'de LTE destekli bir telefon satacaklar?n? a??klam??t?. FCC taraf?ndan onaylanan LT30k'n?n bahsi ge?en cihaza ait oldu?u d???n?l?yor. LT29i'nin eski prototiplerde kullan?ld??? ve sonras?nda seri ?retime LT30 olarak ge?ti?inden neredeyse eminiz. Zaten yeni g?r?nt?lerdeki Sony Ericsson yaz?s? da bunu destekliyor.

?

London 2012 Olympics: Follow gymnasts on Twitter

It?s quite scary that at 15 years old Rebecca Tunney already boasts over one thousand followers.

She has managed to attract such a following despite only pressing the tweet button just over 100 times. The youngest member of Team GB has taken a liking to posting pictures on twitter and the amateur photographer is likely to provide plenty of insights to the life of a gymnast in the Olympic village.

For the alternate view on the life of a young female gymnast, Jennifer Pinches is likely to provide plenty of girly entertainment throughout the Games.

She?s a member of the modern teenage experience, with over-extenuated wordddss, the occasional use of the random hashtag and an ever-present use of the phrase ?Oh my god?.

The excitement of the Olympic village is likely to lead to torrential tweeting from the 18-year-old.

Will Curiosity be NASA's last Mars rover? (+video)

Budget cuts have forced NASA to drastically scale back its planetary science missions. But the space agency still has hopes for a future mission that will collect samples of Martian soil and bring them to Earth.?

By Mike Wall,?SPACE.com / July 19, 2012

This illustration depicts the moment immediately after the Curiosity Mars rover touches down on the Red Planet.

Despite NASA's tough budget situation, the 1-ton rover streaking toward an Aug. 5 landing on Mars is unlikely to be the space agency's last big, ambitious Red Planet mission.

NASA has less than three weeks before the space agency tries to land the Curiosity rover on Mars, but there's still time for problems.

Funding cuts have forced NASA to shelve plans for future multibillion-dollar "flagship" planetary missions beyond the $2.5 billion?Curiosity rover, which will investigate Mars' potential to host past or present microbial life after it touches down three weeks from now. For the time being, the space agency is looking for ways to explore the Red Planet on the cheap.

But over the long haul, NASA still has its sights set on a particularly alluring flagship ? a sample-return effort that would bring pieces of?Mars?back to Earth for study.

"The scientific goal ? and for human exploration as well ? of a Mars sample-return is still the highest priority in the long term," John Grunsfeld, NASA's associate administrator for science, said in April. [7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars]

Tough budget times

President Barack Obama's federal budget request for 2013, which was unveiled in February, keeps NASA's overall budget flat, at $17.7 billion.

But the request?cuts NASA's planetary science funding?from $1.5 billion to $1.2 billion, with further reductions expected in coming years. The space agency's Mars program gets hit particularly hard, with funding dropping from $587 million this year to $360 million in 2013, then falling to just $189 million in 2015.

As a result, NASA is scaling back and reformulating its Red Planet exploration strategy. The space agency has put together a committee called the Mars Program Planning Group, which is assessing possible?future missions to Mars.

NASA also withdrew from the European-led ExoMars mission, which aims to launch an orbiter and a rover to the Red Planet in 2016 and 2018, respectively.

ExoMars is viewed as a key step toward sample-return, which the U.S. National Research Council identified last year as the highest-priority planetary science mission for the next decade.

Many researchers believe that sending pieces of the Red Planet back to Earth is the best way to search for?signs of Martian life. But sample-return would almost certainly be a multibillion-dollar flagship effort, putting it out of NASA's reach in today's budget environment.

"There is no room in the current budget proposal from the president for new flagship missions anywhere," Grunsfeld said shortly after the budget was released. [NASA's 2013 Budget: What Will It Buy?]

Still aiming for sample-return

NASA has one more Mars exploration effort firmly on the docket beyond Curiosity, a $485 million?orbiter called Maven(short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN), which is due to launch in late 2013 to study Mars' upper atmosphere.

The space agency also plans to launch another mission in either 2018 or 2020, to take advantage of a favorable Mars-Earth alignment and to keep the Red Planet program moving forward. This effort, which will likely cost less than $800 million, remains largely undefined, with rovers and orbiters still under consideration, officials have said.

ART EXHIBITION BY LOCAL SUFFOLK ARTISTS | Aldeburgh Food ...

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? IP17 1SR

THE OCEAN IN A TREE:

MARK CAZALET and ROGER WAGNER

Will be open throughout the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival?(29^th ?30^th Sept)?

In The Concert Hall Gallery and Oyster Bar

Free Admission

Mark Cazalet and Roger Wagner (who have been friends for twenty years) both belong to an English romantic tradition? in which poetic and metaphysical responses to landscape have played a central part.

This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to see two highly distinctive visions in the heart of the landscape that inspired them.

?Mark? Cazalet is a painter for our day? Professor Frances Spalding

?Roger Wagner is one of the more remarkable and original painters working today? The British Art Journal

?These deeply moving images provide a powerful metaphor for Cazalet?s belief in a ?transcendent reality which informs all experience?? Dr Richard Davey

Roger Wagner? ?an English visionary of genius? Godfrey Barker Daily Telegraph

?The extraordinary work of Roger Wagner ?manages a representation of the creatively and? theologically uncanny that is haunting? Rowan Williams The Guardian??

The Exhibtion runs from

Wednesday September 12^th ?? Monday November 12^th

Mark Cazalet was greatly influenced by a period of postgraduate study in Paris and then India that confirmed his interest in the crossover between colour and rhythm, folk art and classical composition.? He has completed major ecclesiastical commissions, produced a series of? lino/woodcuts for The Old Stile Press?s Greenblades: Thomas Hardy?s poems of 1912-13. During the spring of 2012 he was resident artist at The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut, where he has been invited to return during 2013.

Born in 1957, Roger Wagner read English at Lincoln College Oxford, and studied under Peter Greenham at The Royal Academy School of Art, London.? His paintings have been shown in many solo and group exhibitions in Britain and abroad. In 2009 his painting Menorah became the largest ever contemporary painting acquired by the Ashmolean and formed the centerpiece of the first exhibition held in the newly reopened Museum. His recently completed? stained glass window? opposite the John Piper window at Iffley Church will be featured in a forthcoming BBC programme by Sister Wendy Beckett.

Pool Fences & Gates| Pool Safety Fence Tampa | Sure Guard

This week Sure Guard installed a pool fence in Carrollwood for the Jones family. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are the proud and very busy parents of 2 year old triplets.

Before moving into their new home they knew that a pool safety fence had to be installed, because the few times they had taken the triplets to the house the babies were very excited about the pool. In fact, if anybody mentioned the ?new house? all three toddlers yelled POOL! It?s difficult enough to keep one toddler away from an unprotected swimming pool, let alone three curious young children. With the pool fencing and a self-closing gate around the pool the triplets can play outside without any worries.

The pool fence was installed the day before the family was moving into the home and now there are three very cute, very active babies who can enjoy the pool and be safe at the same time.
