Supreme Court appoints panel for sex workers (Lead)

New Delhi, July 19

The Supreme Court Tuesday set up a panel to suggest ways for the prevention of human trafficking for sex trade and to conduct a survey of sex workers across the country and rehabilitate them.

The apex court bench of Justice Markandey Katju and Justice Gyan Sudha Misra said the panel will be headed by senior counsel Pradeep Ghosh and Jayant Bhushan. It will also include three NGOs engaged in helping sex workers.

The court directed the central and the state governments as well as the union territories' administrations to carry out a survey of sex workers in their jurisdiction and submit that report to the panel.

Three NGOs on the panel are Usha Multipurpose Cooperative Mahila Society, Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Simiti, and Roshni Academy.

While setting up the panel, Justice Katju said that the right to live also included right to live with dignity.

The panel would make suggestions for prevention of human trafficking, for rehabilitation of sex workers who want to leave their trade, and for improving the conditions of those who want to continue with it.

During the hearing, Justice Misra asked Ghosh if the panel could tell the court the names of sex workers willing to opt out of the their trade.

Ghosh told the court that they had 13,000 sex workers on their list but many others may want to leave the trade. But he added it would not be feasible to identify each one of them by name.

The court gave two weeks to state governments to file affidavits stating the steps taken by them for the rehabilitation of sex workers, including imparting vocational training.

The panel's appointment came in the wake of the hearing on directions issued by the apex court Feb 14 for the rescue and rehabilitation of sex worker and addressing their problems.

The court's directions came in a case in which it rejected the plea of Budhadev Karmakar who was convicted for beating to death a sex worker in Kolkata Sep 19, 1999.

The court in its earlier hearing described as unfortunate that women were forced to submit to such compulsions (sex trade) because of poverty. "Sex workers are also human beings. They become sex workers not out of enjoyment but out of (needs of the) stomach."

Hot and Cold: Long-Suspected Antarctic Undersea Volcanoes Discovered

News | More Science

The British Antarctic Survey has mapped 12 submarine volcanoes, which have created hydrothermal vents that support previously unseen life

By Sophie Bushwick ?| July 18, 2011?|

Iceland is known as the "land of ice and fire," but new findings suggest that the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean could easily take over that title. In addition to the seven volcanic islands that make up this Antarctic archipelago, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) recently discovered that 12 volcanoes lurk below the water's surface.

Despite their icy environs, the South Sandwich Islands have fiery origins thanks to the volcanoes, some of which are still active. "Eruptions have been observed over the last century or so," says BAS scientist Philip Leat. In addition to a large eruption observed in 1956, a low-level eruption that started in 2002 lasted for six years.

Between these two visible surface volcanic reactions, an underwater volcano blew in 1962. Although nobody directly observed that activity, scientists discovered the eruption when large amounts of pumice, a volcanic rock so filled with gas bubbles that it floats on water, washed up on the shores of Antarctica, New Zealand and South America.

Because of the 1962 eruption, "we knew there were underwater volcanoes somewhere in the vicinity," Leat says. And when the BAS sent the RRS James Clark Ross on a seafloor survey around the South Sandwiches, using multi-beam sonar to map the area, the researchers found them. Sonar bounces sound waves off of objects and detects the echoes to determine the distance to those objects; using multiple sonar beams maps larger areas, so the James Clark Ross could cover a greater expanse of the ocean floor more quickly.

The research team announced at a July 13 poster session of the 11th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences that its survey discovered the presence of 12 active submarine volcanoes (some almost three kilometers high) and the remnants of more. The collapsed volcanoes had formed craters about five kilometers in width.

In addition to enhancing maps of the islands, the BAS survey may help scientists understand how undersea eruptions cause enormous reactions, such as tsunamis. The underwater volcanoes also create environments that are not only conducive to unique ecosystems, but also hold clues about an earlier era in Earth's history.

As a result of the volcanic activity around the South Sandwiches, molten rock lurks just under the seafloor. When ocean water leaks through cracks in the floor, it encounters that heat source, reacts, and spews back out as a mineral-rich, hot-water jet, creating a hydrothermal vent. Such vents, which are found in areas of the ocean where there is tectonic activity, create isolated hot-water ecosystems that are home to creatures very different from the more typical denizens of Antarctica's frigid waters.

"Above water it looks like a desert," says Andrew Clarke, a biologist formerly of BAS. "But below, it's far from it. There's a rich variety of life down there."

Although many of the species in Antarctic waters have adapted to live at near freezing temperatures, the denizens of hydrothermal vents have evolved to live comfortably in the heat. Water issues from a vent at temperatures that can exceed boiling. Moving away from a vent is a journey from one temperature extreme to the other, from boiling seas to ice water (think: a hot tub turned too high to a warm summer surf to just bearable New England waters in August to a winter swim at the same beach)?all within a range of several meters.

"Out of contact with light," Clarke says, "the whole system is driven by chemistry." The hot water emerging from the hydrothermal vents is rich in dissolved sulfur, which bacteria living around the vents oxidize to make energy, living off of chemical instead of solar energy. Meanwhile, larger predators such as crabs and shrimps feed off the bacteria.

"It's an ecosystem that builds up around the vents themselves," Leat says. The ecosystems of hydrothermal vents have been studied in oceans all over the world, from Samoa and Tonga to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Although there is a general set of organisms that tend to live around vents, each one supports a unique system. As Clarke says, "One of the interesting things is the animals growing around these things are quite different."

Although the map of the area has been released, BAS biologists are still studying the organisms living in the hydrothermal vents and will publish their results separately.

In addition to sulfur, the hot water also carries other minerals, such as the metals copper, lead, zinc and gold. When they drift to cooler water, they solidify and form deposits. Historically, many metal-bearing ores on land originated in a very similar environment to that of these hydrothermal vents. "Going back though history, there were huge numbers of these kinds of volcanoes," Leat says. Studying them can help us understand the process through which metals now inland gradually moved from the ocean to continental interiors.

iriver Story HD

Google has been an ebook retailer for a while now, but without a dedicated ebook reader, entering the Google Books ecosystem wasn't as compelling to consumers as the offerings from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The iriver Story HD is the first dedicated device with Google eBooks inside, and at $139, it's priced to compete with Amazon's Kindle ($139-$189, 4 stars) and the latest Barnes & Noble Nook ($139, 4.5 stars). It offers some superior specs too, like a Cortex A8 processor and a higher-resolution screen. It's a good product, but both the hardware and software fall short of the Kindle and the Nook. Also, Google eBooks isn't as strong an ecosystem as what you'll get from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, nor is it as tightly integrated with the device. If you're a Google fanatic, the Story HD could your ebook reader, but otherwise it's not good enough to unthrone our reigning king, the Barnes & Noble Nook Touch Reader.

The Hardware
To the untrained eye, the Story HD looks an awful lot like a Kindle. Both have 6-inch, E Ink screens, with a full QWERTY keyboard below, and the Story HD is mostly white, like earlier-generation Kindles. Emulating the Kindle is mostly a good thing, even though the Story HD feels a bit dated considering all the touch-screen ebook readers we've seen lately: the new Nook, the Kobo eReader Touch Edition ($129, 3.5 stars), and the Sony Reader Touch Edition ($229, 3 stars). At 7.5 by 5.0 by 0.4 inches (HWD), it's almost exactly the same size as the Kindle, but at 7.3 ounces, it's 1.4 ounces lighter. The Story HD comes with a white front and a drab brownish back panel. The keyboard is brown as well, which mars an otherwise sleek and attractive face. Otherwise, there's not much else to discuss except an SD card slot on the right side, a mini-USB port on the bottom, and a power slider cleverly positioned on the back, right where your fingers land when you pick up the device.

The keyboard feels like a relic of ebook readers of yore. The Nook and Kobo Touch Edition both have on-screen E Ink keyboards that work remarkably well, and they make the extra size and bulk that comes with the Story HD seem like an unnecessary trade-off. It's not a great keyboard, either: The keys are too small (even smaller than on the Kindle), and feel stuck, as if you spilled something sticky that has made them difficult to press. In general, the Story HD looks fine, but feels a little flimsy and toy-like when you get it in your hands.

Above the keyboard are four buttons?Home, Back, Enter, and Option?and a long metallic bar that is used for scrolling and for turning pages. You can press on the right side to turn pages forward, or simply press the whole bar downward. I prefer either the swipe-on-screen, or buttons on either side of the screen method, but this layout worked fine, and the Story HD can fortunately be used with a single hand. Frustratingly, though, you can't click the middle of the bar to select; you have to jump back and forth to the adjacent Enter button, which I never really got used to.

The screen is one of the best selling points for the Story HD. It's beautiful, and after reading on it for a few hours the Nook and Kindle seem blurry and low-resolution by comparison. It's a 1,024 by 768 XGA E Ink display, much higher than the 800-by-600 screens on the Kindle and Nook. Since it's E Ink, everything comes in shades of gray, but its clarity and sharpness are a world apart. No matter how small you make the text, it's still sharp, unlike the Nook and Kindle, which tend to get much softer, and drop parts of letters when they get too small. Image-heavy books look far better, though without color much is still lost.

The Story HD comes with 2GB of storage built in (you can add up to 32GB more via the SD slot), along with Wi-Fi and a zippy Cortex A8 processor. The CPU makes most operations fast and responsive, though the overall speed is hindered a bit by E Ink, which can only refresh but so fast. Generally, it's a faster device than either Kindle or Nook, but not significantly so. The 2GB of internal storage is equal to the Nook's storage and half of the Kindle's 4GB, but it's good for about 1,500 books?you won't run into storage issues here, especially without periodicals or magazines available. The battery, iriver claims, will last up to 10 weeks, but with heavy use should land somewhere around half that figure.

Google eBooks
Featured prominently on the home screen is a link to the Google ebookstore, which opens a Webkit browser. (You can't use the browser for anything else, though, so it's no different than having a built-in store.) There, you can browse all of Google's 3 million ebooks, the vast majority of which are free, public domain classics. The bookstore is much the same as the Amazon or Barnes & Noble stores, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in the way of popular content. The Google store has a clean and simple interface that helps you find books; it's not as helpful in recommending things to read as other platforms, but it offers some bestseller lists and a powerful search feature that you'd expect from Google. There are no newspapers or magazines in the store, though. Once you find a book you want, one tap lets you purchase it via a Google Checkout account. (If you haven't set up a Google Checkout account before, do it on a computer rather than on the Story HD, it's much faster that way.) You can also buy books from a computer, which I found myself doing more often than not.

Paying for a book doesn't put it on your device, though. Once you buy a book, it lives in your online Google Library, and the Story HD syncs periodically with that library. It's a fairly standard setup, but I found that more than a couple of times I had to manually refresh the Story HD to get it to notice the new book in my library. It's not a hard process, typically involving just going to the home screen or going into the Options menu, but it's not as nice as the Kindle's Whispernet, which magically whisks new books and today's paper to your Kindle, and when you pick it up new content is usually already there. The Story HD is Wi-Fi only, and lack of 3G means you'll need a hotspot to download or sync books.

The upside to Google eBooks, of course, is that everything you own lives online, where you can access your library on any device with a Web browser. Google's Web reader is clean and simple, and a surprisingly functional way to read a book. There are Android and iOS apps, too, which stay in sync with your books and your place in them. Google's ebooks are all PDFs or ePubs, formats that are easily exportable to a large number of other gadgets, so you'll never be locked in to a single device ecosystem like Kindle owners are.

The Reading Experience
Reading on the Story HD is a mixed bag. The Home screen has a prominent link to your last-read item and to the bookstore, as well as ways to sort your library by author or title, or see what you've read recently. It's clean, simple, and text-based, but better looking than the Kindle's too-simple, text-based home screen.

The high-res screen makes just about everything more pleasant to look at, but it can't solve every problem. For instance, many of the free Google ebooks are simply scanned paper books. Google handles and re-flows text properly, but pages like the cover and the Table of Contents often appeared to be poorly scanned, off-center, or tilted. Once you get to the text, though, that's not really an issue.

Other than a several-second lag when you first open the book, reading is very fast and fluid. Pages turned very quickly, and very reliably?in all my tests, I never had a single press go unnoticed. The screen does flash with each and every page turn, much like the Kindle, but since the Kobo Touch Edition and the Nook only flash every five or so pages, it feels outdated. As you're reading, you can easily look up a word in the built-in dictionary, or jump to a page or chapter.

My biggest issues while reading books were the things I couldn't do. I couldn't change the margins, which are too wide and bump up against the edge of the device. I couldn't change the font type or the line spacing. I couldn't, for some reason that's totally inexplicable on a Google-friendly device, search within a book. I couldn't make annotations, except to bookmark a page. You can choose among eight text sizes, and that's as far as it goes for customizing the reading experience.

Two years ago, the iriver Story HD would likely have been a serious contender. But in 2011, where the Nook and Kobo readers have received major upgrades, and the Kindle remains an excellent device, using the Story HD feels like reading in a time machine. It works fine, and the Google integration is nice, but it just might be too late for the iriver Story HD. For now, the Barnes & Noble Nook Touch Reader remains the best ebook reader on the market, and the Kindle is a close second.

"South Park's" Cheesy Poofs snack coming to Walmart (Reuters)

NEW YORK (TheWrap) ? Comedy Central is celebrating the 15th season of "South Park" in typically outrageous fashion by unleashing 1.5 million bags of Cheesy Poofs on our great nation's retailers.

Yes, bags of Cartman's favorite snack will be yours to purchase exclusively at Walmart in coming months, something that should tie over insatiable fans of the show until it returns with the second half of the milestone season on October 15.

Cheesy Poofs are being manufactured by Frito-Lay and will carry a hefty price tag of $2.99 for 2-and-3/8-ounce bag, something that would surely make Cartman unleash a torrent of curses.

But that's not all that Comedy Central is up to. Leading up to Comic-Con, the network has launched Year of the Fan, a promotional onslaught that asks viewers to send in "South Park"-inspired artwork for possible inclusion on the official website and involves a 15,000-square-foot exhibit at the San Diego event called "The Ultimate 'South Park' Fan Experience."

The network is also producing a behind-the-scenes "South Park" documentary that will air in the fall. More details on that when they become available.

In the meantime, Comedy Central has commissioned artists to interpret various "South Park" characters for an exhibit that's been running in New York since March. These will also be traveling to Comic-Con.

bertram - Bluffton University breaks ground on new academic ...

BLUFFTON ? It didn't take long for work to get underway on the newest addition to the Bluffton University campus. In fact, even before the backhoe ceremoniously scooped a load of dirt, excavators were already working on a new academic and athletics complex.

A crowd of more than 100 turned out Tuesday morning to officially break ground on the new $14 million Health and Fitness Education Center. The 60,000-square-foot facility will be the home for the academic department of health, fitness and sport science, a weight and fitness center for all students, a sports medicine center, athletic offices and a new arena that will be home to intercollegiate basketball and volleyball teams.

?This is a huge moment for Bluffton. We're building the largest building on our campus,? President Dr. James Harder said. ?We've worked at this for about five years. We're just very grateful to all the alumni and friends of the university that have made this building possible.?

The building is expected to be complete by late 2012 and will also be the first building on campus to be certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system. Key elements of the certification are the use of natural light in at least 90 percent of the center's regularly occupied spaces and recycling of 75 percent or more of construction waste.

Funding for the project came through contributions to a campus fundraising drive that has netted $30 million to support academic programs, student scholarships, endowment and the building project.

?Bluffton deeply appreciates the commitment of many alumni and friends who chose to invest in the university's future during a time of economic uncertainty,? Dr. Hans Houshower, vice president for advacement, said. ?Bluffton's donors have truly extended their reach to make this day possible.?

Harder agreed.

?This is the next big development in Bluffton's ongoing commitment to deliver a total educational program of the highest quality,? Harder said. ?A Bluffton education includes excellent teaching and learning in the classroom and through a variety of co-curricular programs, including health and fitness for all students and competitive facilities for our NCAA student-athletes. This new building will meet the needs of Bluffton students for many years to come.?

5 Book Marketing Do's and Don'ts : Writing and Speaking

5 Book Marketing Do?s and Don?ts

Article by jorgebell12

In the realm of book marketing there are as many opinions as published works. Everyone has a set plot line as to how to market your book in a way that results in sales and, most importantly, demand for additional material. The climax for both scams and legitimate schemes is the same: fame and fortune. This article will help you sort through the overwhelming amount of information and break it down into simple Do?s and Don?ts that will get you headed in the right direction.

Do?

* Write quality content:Nothing can compete with a well-written book. Take the time necessary time to create excellent material and shun the temptation to write mediocre work for a quick, fleeting buck.

* Take book marketing into your own hands:Do not place your manuscript into the hands of a publisher, receive your check and walk away. Make sure that you know how you can effectively contribute to the book marketing plan they will implement.

* Utilize social media networking sites effectively:Take advantage of the connectivity allowed via online social networking sites by making sure it is quality content that is driving people to your sites and sticking around.

* Stay informed of new technology that affects the publishing world (e.g. iPad):The world of publishing is changing and you will only increase in your effectiveness if you are aware of the changes. Do not allow yourself to become outdated with what?s out there in regards to new technology for print media.

* Create an author?s business plan:Those of a more creative bent tend to overlook the idea of a business plan. Take time to consider how what you are writing fits into the long-term income and vision that you have for your career.

Don?t?

* Rely solely on publishers for all of your book marketing practices: Consider going the self-publishing route for greater control of the marketing of your book. If you decide to go with an established publisher, let it be known that you desire a say in the book marketing plan.

* Inflate your followers on social networking sites:Yes, we all know of celebrities who have over one million followers on Twitter but an author needs more than a pretty face to generate sales. Make sure that you are connecting with people on social media sites that are potential readers, not faceless followers.

* Skip over cover design:An effective cover is an excellent tool in creating buzz for your book. Find a creative designer who will help you create a cover that pops in the eyes of a reader. How many times have you picked up a book simply because the cover was interesting? How often have you overlooked a book because the cover failed to impress?

* Assume your book will sell:Authors cannot be passive in their book marketing strategy. Do not wait until after your work is finished to think about how you will sell your book. Throughout the writing process be jotting down thoughts and ideas that will eventually help create your marketing plan.

* Rely on cheesy viral marketing plans:This once again comes back to the idea of quality. If you have a publisher who insists on viral marketing to market your book, aim for videos that do not discredit the value of what you have written. Aim for inanity but instead of insane gimmicks focus on creativity, humor, emotion and interesting confrontation to generate buzz.

These are just a few Do?s and Don?ts to get you started and help you sustain your career as a published author.

Astronauts turn into 'moving men' at space station (AP)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ? The 10 astronauts on the orbiting shuttle-station complex can turn all their attention to hauling things back and forth now that their single spacewalk is over.

The last spacewalk of NASA's 30-year shuttle era ended successfully Tuesday. It cleared the way for Wednesday's focus on space station stockpiling.

Atlantis delivered a year's worth of food, clothes and other supplies to the International Space Station. Both crews are unloading the cargo carrier that flew up on the shuttle. They will fill it back up with space station trash and discarded equipment for return to Earth next week.

The 13-day mission is the last ever for a space shuttle. After that, all three shuttles will become museum displays.

AUTOMOTIVE - AUTOS: Custom Nova Top Street Machine

AUTOS: Custom Nova Top Street Machine

Extensively fabricated Chevy wins Goodguys Rod and Custom?s coveted annual prize...

When Alex Covington of Clover, S.C., envisioned his dream ride, it was a 1967 Nova he could use as a daily driver. His vision quickly changed after he selected the Roadster Shop?s Jeremy and Phil Gerber to execute the build. The Gerbers? vision for the Nova was a high-tech, low-slung futuristic street machine combining an American classic with cutting edge innovation and masterful build quality. Soon after, project ?Innovator? began.

Covington?s faith in the Roadster Shop?s ability to deliver a top-quality car was rewarded when ?Innovator? won the Goodguys 2011 Optima Batteries Street Machine of the Year award July 9th at the Goodguys 14th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone in Columbus, Ohio.

Every panel on Covington?s Nova has been reworked and redesigned. The top was chopped three-quarters of an inch, the fenders were reshaped and sloped, new body lines and wheel-well openings were made and a new rocker-panel profile continues around the entire vehicle. The headlights and grill assembly are completely redesigned and hand fabricated as are the taillight bezels. The PPG white is complimented by custom satin accents of charcoal, sliver and bright yellow.

Power is generated by a 700-horsepower GM LSX in a completely handmade engine bay with machined panels and custom intake. Inside the cabin is a handmade dash and console assembly, full roll cage and race buckets covered in black and white leather. Illuminated headliner and floor inserts are as futuristic as it gets.

?Innovator? rides on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis with a three-link rear suspension and Watts linkage. Afco remote reservoir shocks cushion the ride. Giant Baer brakes provide extreme stopping power on-track or on the street. Eric Brockmeyer designed the custom center lug seven-spoke wheels.

The car?s maiden voyage came Friday morning during the Street Machine of the Year AutoCross competition. Since the car had never been driven on pavement, tension was high in the Roadster Shop camp but anxiety quickly turned to confidence when Innovator streaked to a 35.3 second lap time. It would hold up as the fastest lap in the entire competition.

The top five finalists for the Goodguys 2011 Optima Batteries Street machine of the Year, the most impressive crop to date, included Joe Brown, Lafayette, LA (1967 Mustang); Alex Covington, Clover, SC (1967 Nova); Gerry Kerna, Cranberry Township, PA (1962 Chevy II); Matt Lazich, Austin, TX (1969 Mustang); and Alex Stoner, Scottsdale, AZ (1970 Mustang).

Find Out How To Be Included In Workers' Comp - THE BREAST ...

Workers? compensation insurance, generally called workers? or workmen?s comp, is a type of insurance designed to provide compensation to workers who have been injured while on the job.

While the details vary significantly from one plan to the next, insurance plans in this category typically provide for some sort of wage replacement, payment and/or reimbursement of medical costs, compensation for economic losses, possibly damages for pain and suffering, and settlements to the insured?s dependents when it comes to a fatal work-related accident.

With all this broad range of covered areas ? essentially combining the key features of disability insurance, health insurance, and life insurance, among others ? workers? comp is certainly one of the more critical forms of insurance an individual can obtain. By knowing all you can about workers comp you can guarantee that if an accident happens on the job you are covered. If you are not you could see yourself and your family having problems down the line. We all need money to pay the rent and purchase food and getting compensation for an injury at work can help you to pay for these necessities.

Workers? comp insurance is typically associated historically with labor or professional unions, and is often the result of coordinated campaigns to obtain the coverage for the union members. Proponents of workers? comp cite improved working conditions, economic support for employees, and the safety net given by the insurance, as key benefits of workers? comp. Critics of this form of insurance cite increased costs to employers and potential infringement on workers? rights to seek recompense on their own. Another concern that is frequently raised is the potential for American companies moving parts of their operations or even their entire companies to areas with looser workers? comp law. In the States, however, workers? comp laws are nearly universal, and almost all employers must carry the insurance in some form for their employees.

The body of laws governing workers? comp insurance is becoming extremely complex and differs from state to state. As an example, in many states it is illegal to terminate an employee for filing a claim or for reporting an injury incurred at the workplace. This isn?t illegal in all states, however. And while many states don?t allow employers to deny employment based on previous workers? comp claims, employers can easily check a commercially maintained database of claims, a system that could potentially be abused by unethical employers.

Because abuse of the system has occurred for employees as well, stiff fines and other legal penalties are available for persons who file false claims for workers? compensation benefits. While stories of supposedly injured employees engaging in physically demanding activities are commonplace, little hard data exists to suggest what percentage, if any, of the claims filed every year are in fact fraudulent.

Vigorous investigation by employers, including tactics such as secretly video taping claimants engaged in physical activity, also have undoubtedly helped reduce the number of false claims. Certainly the vast majority of claims filed are the outcome of legitimate, unavoidable work-place injuries.

Gouda Cheese and Beer: Perfect Combination | Wine Spirits

A great shift in the traditional wine and cheese pairing is happening today. Instead of taking wine as the instinctive cheese pairing beverage of choice, beer is becoming the ideal cheese partner.

Let?s say you went home one day and decided to join the shift and bought some beer. There are two things that you can do: First, you can choose to be very specific about the process and carefully pair the flavors in a particular type of beer with a specific type of cheese. Or second, you can simply buy the cheese that goes perfectly with almost any kind of beer. If you do not have the patience to get caught up in details, then perhaps option number two is for you. And of course? highly recommended to go with any beer is Gouda cheese.

Just like plaid skirts, diets and exercise videos, several cheeses go in and out of fashion. Including the popular Gouda cheese from Holland that has faded in popularity over the years. Critiques find this cheese bland, having a texture intended for babies, and coming with no character at all. But before you put your prejudice on this sweet and tasty yellow cheese, Gouda has a lot to offer.

Gouda cheeses are indeed mild in flavor, having a smooth and butter texture. But depending on its age, not all Goudas are the same. You see, the texture of the cheese depends on how long (or how quick) the cheese was aged. Some purists who turn up their noses at young Goudas have far greater respect for the more mature relatives of the clan. Just like other more aged cheeses, aged Gouda tends to be harder in texture than young Gouda, almost the same texture as Parmigiano Reggiano. Its complex flavor tastes somewhere between an intense butterscotch caramel, salty but learning on the sweeter side. In general, Gouda cheese is described as having a caramelized, toffee-like taste.

Its exceptional sweet flavor makes Gouda cheese the best pair for your Lager. Beer is actually the best complement for cheese in a number of cultures in the world. . This is no surprise because cheese and beer practically grew up in the farm together the grain used to produce beer is often the same grain that is fed to milk-animals that produce cheese. Most importantly, the flavors of beer and cheese are in natural sync, something that wine and cheese do not have.

Gouda cheese is salty-sweet, nutty, and sharp. What better way to chase this flavorful cheese with a refreshing swill of Ale? Invite your friends for a few bottles and get Gouda cheese today!

So go ahead and find Gouda cheese at your favorite gourmet cheese shop.

China's space program shoots for moon, Mars, Venus (AP)

BEIJING ? This year, a rocket will carry a boxcar-sized module into orbit, the first building block for a Chinese space station. Around 2013, China plans to launch a lunar probe that will set a rover loose on the moon. It wants to put a man on the moon, sometime after 2020.

While the United States is still working out its next move after the space shuttle program, China is forging ahead. Some experts worry the U.S. could slip behind China in human spaceflight ? the realm of space science with the most prestige.

"Space leadership is highly symbolic of national capabilities and international influence, and a decline in space leadership will be seen as symbolic of a relative decline in U.S. power and influence," said Scott Pace, an associate NASA administrator in the George W. Bush administration. He was a supporter of Bush's plan ? shelved by President Barack Obama ? to return Americans to the moon.

China is still far behind the U.S. in space technology and experience, but what it doesn't lack is a plan or financial resources. While U.S. programs can fall victim to budgetary worries or a change of government, rapidly growing China appears to have no such constraints.

"One of the biggest advantages of their system is that they have five-year plans so they can develop well ahead," said Peter Bond, consultant editor for Jane's Space Systems and Industry. "They are taking a step-by-step approach, taking their time and gradually improving their capabilities. They are putting all the pieces together for a very capable, advanced space industry."

In 2003, China became the third country to send an astronaut into space on its own, four decades after the United States and Russia. In 2006, it sent its first probe to the moon. In 2008, China carried out its first spacewalk.

China's space station is slated to open around 2020, the same year the International Space Station is scheduled to close. If the U.S. and its partners don't come up with a replacement, China could have the only permanent human presence in the sky.

Its space laboratory module, due to be launched later this year, will test docking techniques for the space station. China's version will be smaller than the International Space Station, which is the size of a football field and jointly operated by the U.S., Russia, Canada, Japan and 11 European countries.

"China has lagged 20 to 40 years behind the U.S. in developing space programs and China has no intention of challenging U.S. dominance in space," said He Qisong, a professor at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law. "But it is a sign of the national spirit for China to develop a space program and therefore it is of great significance for China."

Some elements of China's program, notably the firing of a ground-based missile into one of its dead satellites four years ago, have alarmed American officials and others who say such moves could set off a race to militarize space. That the program is run by the military has made the U.S. reluctant to cooperate with China in space, even though the latter insists its program is purely for peaceful ends.

"Space technology can be applied for both civilian and military use, but China doesn't stress the military purpose," said Li Longchen, retired editor-in-chief of Chinese magazine "Space Probe." "It has been always hard for humankind to march into space and China must learn the lessons from the U.S."

China is not the only country aiming high in space. Russia has talked about building a base on the moon and a possible mission to Mars but hasn't set a time frame. India has achieved an unmanned orbit of the moon and plans its first manned space flight in 2016.

The U.S. has no plans to return to the moon. "We've been there before," Obama said last year. "There's a lot more of space to explore." He prefers sending astronauts to land on an asteroid by 2025 and ultimately to Mars. But those plans are far from set.

Instead, NASA is closing out its 30-year space shuttle era this month, leaving the U.S. dependent on hitching rides to the space station aboard Russian Soyuz capsules at a cost of $56 million per passenger, rising to $63 million from 2014. The U.S. also hopes private companies will develop spacecraft to ferry cargo and crew to the space station.

China, having orbited the moon and starting collecting data on it, is moving toward sending a man there ? and beyond. It hopes to launch the rover-releasing moon probe in about two years. Chinese experts believe a moon landing will happen in 2025 at the earliest.

"The lunar probe is the starting point for deep space exploration," said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's moon-exploring program, in a 2010 interview posted on the national space agency's website. "We first need to do a good job of exploring the moon and work out the rocket, transportation and detection technology that can then be used for a future exploration of Mars or Venus."

In testimony in May to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which reports to the U.S. Congress, former NASA official Pace said what China learns in its space program can be applied elsewhere: improving the accuracy of ballistic missiles and quality controls for industry.

China also offers space technology to developing countries to secure access to raw materials, said Pace, now director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University.

There may also be economic reasons to explore the moon: It contains minerals and helium-3, a potential rich source of energy through nuclear fusion.

"But that's way ahead," said Bond, the Jane's editor. "A lot of it would be prestige, the fact that every time we went out and looked at the moon in the night sky we would say the Chinese flag is on there."

Japanese tourist dies hiking popular Arizona trail (AP)

PRESCOTT, Ariz. ? Arizona authorities say a Japanese tourist has died after falling 50 to 100 feet from a ledge on a popular hiking trail.

The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says deputies searched a trailhead at Bell Rock near Sedona and found the 51-year-old woman's body Thursday afternoon.

She was identified Friday as Yumiko Hayashi. She had been reported missing from a nearby resort a day earlier. Authorities didn't immediately provide her hometown.

Sheriff's officials say they contacted the Japanese Consulate for assistance in locating the woman's family back in Japan.

Detectives are investigating but authorities do not suspect foul play.

Flipboard?s new content guide keeps the app a must-have (Appolicious)

When I last reviewed Flipboard back in December, I flipped for its updated features. Now, the iPad app has rolled out another set of improvements, all of which make the service better and keep Flipboard firmly at the top of my must-have apps for iPad list.

Previously, Flipboard users would have to add sources to their favorite spaces in order to access content within the app. Although favorites remain ? and are still a great option for tracking your favorite sources ? the new Content Guide lets users read and search for any topic across all of Flipboard?s sources without favoriting. Adding sources to favorites was never a heavy commitment, since all of Flipboard?s content is free, but dropping this requirement just makes the app so much more user-friendly ? a great thing when you already consider how smooth the GUI is. To access the Content Guide, tap the red ribbon found at the top of the screen and you?ll see tabs for your existing social networks along with category breakdowns of all of Flipboard?s sources. There?s also a search bar for you to find keywords or names. The Content Guide also offers access to favorite sources, which means you can favorite more items than will fit on the app?s main pages.

In addition to the Content Guide, Flipboard has also added integration for LinkedIn, and now marks popular stories with a banner. The app is faster, too, taking you fully into an article with one tap, rather than first displaying a thumbnail view of the article.

I?m still waiting for Flipboard to offer support for multiple users, but overall I only have good things to say about this stellar app. The improvements the company has made show it?s listening to user wants, and I?m excited to see what Flipboard comes up with next.

Logitech G930 Wireless PC Gaming Headset Review

Up until a few days ago I worked with wired PC headset exclusively. That worked considerably well, with the exception of the rate that I burned through those headsets. I usually needed to buy a new one every six to nine months or so, mostly because of cable problems.

It came to the point that I made the decision to get a wireless headset to get rid of the cable problems once and for all. I knew that wireless headsets with microphone were expensive, and that I had to pay more than double compared to a wired headset.

After reviewing several wireless headsets over the past weeks I decided to order the Logitech G930 Wireless PC gaming headset. The headset seemed to have driver problems in the beginning, but recent reviews on sites like Amazon showed that Logitech managed to resolve those issues.

The wireless headset is delivered in a big box. It contains the headset, a wireless adapter dock, the wireless adapter, manuals and a CD with the latest drivers.

Installation is a breeze. You need to start with the software from CD before you plug in the headset in the computer. Plug-in? Yes, the headset needs to be charged. While it comes with a certain amount of juice, it is not fully charged. Please note that the headset will work without the driver but you won?t be able to use some of its features, surround sound for instance.

How does the charging work? You connect the wireless dock to the PC. This is done via a standard USB cable. You then plug the wireless adapter into the dock and connect the mini USB connector to the headset. The headset indicates the charging status with a LED. Steady green means it is fully charged and ready for use. You can use it before but will have less time doing so.

You find lots of controls on the headset. It comes with volume control for instance which is very handy when playing games or listening to music, especially if you are not at your PC at the time. The volume control and the mic mute button have been put directly on the left ear cup where they can be easily reached. The microphone is automatically muted if you move it to its up position. It features an LED at its tip that indicates if it is muted or not. You find a switch to enable or disable surround sound there as well. Surround sound only works if the Logitech drivers are installed.

Three macro buttons are located on the left ear cup as well. These can be programmed in the Logitech G930 software. Some standard features, like playing and pausing, skipping forward and back, voice morphing or push to talk are already available as presets.

The software can be used to configure the three G keys. Profiles are available for programs like iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player or applications of the user?s choice. The system is plugin driven which means that you can download and install plugins to add support for additional programs or applications.

The software offers various controls, volume, microphone and bass for instance which you can modify to suite your taste. Experienced users can fine tune the sound further with a click on the advanced equalizer button.

The voice morphing capabilities are not really impressive, and probably not needed by most users. While it may be fun to talk like a robot or an alien once or twice, it is nothing that most people would want to do on a regular basis, especially if the voice morphing quality is put into consideration. Hint, it is weak.

The headband can be adjusted to fit comfortable. The noise isolation ear cups are large and enclose (most) ears fully. The headset itself is not heavy at all and very comfortable to use, even for hours. The noise cancelling microphone is bendable even though it does not look that way on first glance. You can bend it to find the optimal speaking position.

Logitech claims that the headset has a reach of about 12 meters. While I was not able to test that, I can confirm that the headset works everywhere in my apartment. Quality remains the same regardless of distance to the PC.

Another claim is that the battery power lasts up to 10 hours. It is safe to say that this is more of an upper limit. A more realistic figure is six or seven hours. That?s not a big problem though as you can plug the wireless headset right into the docking station to continue working with the headset, provided that you are at your PC and not somewhere else in your apartment or office.

Some users, especially users running Windows 7 64-bit have reported a cracking noise when playing music. I experienced the same issue at the beginning, but was able to resolve it by disabling all other sound playback and recording devices under the Sound Control Panel.

The price tag is heavy, even for a wireless gaming headset. It will set you back roughly 90 Dollars and 140 Euros (that?s twice the Dollar price), lots of money which you could easily invest into two high quality wired headsets. Still, a wireless headset is way more comfortable to use. Imagine calling someone on your PC. With a wired headset you need to stay near the PC, with a wireless headset you can walk around, grab a coffee or look for something in your office that you need during the call.

Would I buy the headset again? Yes I would, provided that it won?t break or stop working in a month or two. Amazon.com is currently selling the wireless headset for less than $100. Considering that I paid almost twice the amount, I?d say that this is a bargain:
