Lung Cancer Asbestos Victims Center Urges US Navy Veterans ...
The?Lung Cancer Asbestos Victims Center?says, ?By all accounts US Navy Veterans make up the largest single group of diagnosed victims of mesothelioma each year. According to the CDC of the approximately 3000 US citizens who will be diagnosed with mesothelioma this year about one third will be Veterans of the US Navy. We have talked to hundreds of US Navy Veterans over the years, and while most diagnosed victims worked in a ship?s engine room, the ammunition magazines, fuel storage areas, or maintenance, many Navy Veterans slept each day under asbestos covered pipes. We want to make certain all US Navy Veterans, who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, or asbestos exposure forms of lung cancer get the best of the best possible compensation, and we are urging these diagnosed victims, or their family members to call us so we can give them instant access to the nation?s most skilled mesothelioma compensation lawyers, or asbestos exposure law firms.? Mesothelioma is an incredibly rare form of cancer that is 100% attributable to exposure to asbestos. For more information a US Navy Veteran who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestos related forms of lung cancer, or their family members are urged to contact the Lung Cancer Asbestos Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.
The Lung Cancer Asbestos Victims Center says, ?Aside from the US Navy, other high risk workplaces for asbestos exposure include shipyards in California, Maine, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, or Washington State, power plants nationwide, manufacturing factories in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, or Illinois, chemical plants in Louisiana, Texas or New Jersey, oil refineries in California, Louisiana, Washington, or Texas, smelters in West Virginia, Montana, or Idaho, aerospace manufacturing facilities in California, Washington, or Kansas, demolition construction sites, railroads, automotive manufacturing facilities, or auto brake shops nationwide. With mesothelioma, or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure the cancer may not show up until decades after the exposure. As long as the victim, or their family members can prove the exposure to asbestos, we will do everything possible to help them get what might be significant financial compensation.? For more information please call the Lung Cancer Asbestos Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.?http://LungCancerAsbestosVictimsCenter.Com

Hoboken, NJ, and New York, NY2 July 2013Dr. Carissa Klein of Australia was awarded the APEC Science Prize for Innovation, Research and Education (ASPIRE), sponsored by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and Elsevier, on Monday by Minister Gusti M. Hatta, Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology.
Dr. Klein's selection is a result of her research with the University of Queensland that uniquely addresses the issue of sustainable ocean development by striking a balance between biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic viability.
"We selected Dr. Klein as the 2013 ASPIRE winner based on her approach to negotiating the fragile balance between ocean conservation and sustainable livelihoods," Minister Hatta said on Monday evening at a ceremony honoring Dr. Klein. "This is at the heart of Indonesia's 2013 APEC priority of sustainable development with equity."
Minister Gusti Hatta said that this year's ASPIRE theme "Sustainable Ocean Development" was chosen by Indonesia because of its desire for APEC to actively promote environmentally and economically sustainable solutions for oceans and waterways. Other criteria for the ASPIRE selection process included excellence in scientific research and commitment to cooperation with scientists across APEC economies.
"The establishment of marine protected areas is often viewed as a conflict between conservation and fishing," explained Dr. Klein. "But we can zone the ocean to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders, including the fishing industry, mining companies, and conservation groups."
This is one of the issues Dr. Klein's research effectively addresses. Her work has helped two APEC member economiesMalaysia and the United Statessustainably zone the ocean for fishing and conservation. Using spatial conservation prioritization, her research informed a systematic design of a network of marine protected areas along California's central coast that accounted for commercial and recreational fisheries in the region.
"The ideal outcome of many conservation plans is meeting its biodiversity goals cost effectively and distributing the benefits or costs equally," Dr Klein said. "These three aims are also known as 'triple bottom line solutions' efficient, cost-effective and equitable."
Her work is used by governments and NGOs to inform marine conservation and sustainable management decisions. Dr. Klein is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
"This year we received many successful nominees and APEC is honored to select Dr. Klein as a winner," said Dr. Alan Bollard, Executive Director of the APEC Secretariat.
"Her research, along with all the nominees this year, helps advance APEC's goals to sustainably conserve and manage our valuable ocean resources."

Justice Kagan and Justice Scalia Are Hunting Buddies. Really. (Atlantic Politics Channel)
Masses march in Egypt on anniversary, pushing for Morsi removal
CAIRO (AP) ? Hundreds of thousands of opponents of Egypt's Islamist president poured out onto the streets in Cairo and across much of the nation Sunday, launching an all-out push to force Mohammed Morsi from office on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration. Fears of violence were high, with Morsi's Islamist supporters vowing to defend him.
Waving Egyptian flags and carrying posters of Morsi crossed out in red, crowds packed central Cairo's Tahrir square, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising against autocrat Hosni Mubarak, thunderous chants of "erhal!", or "leave!" rang out.
At the same time, a tidal wave of crowds marched on the Ittihadiya presidential palace, filling a broad boulevard for blocks and spilling over into nearby avenues. "You lied to us in the name of religion," some chanted, and others raised a banner proclaiming, "Morsi=Mubarak. Early presidential elections." The crowds, including women, children and elderly people, hoisted long banners in the colors of the Egyptian flag and raised red cards ? a sign of expulsion in soccer.
Near Ittihadiya palace, thousands of Islamists gathered in a show of support for Morsi outside the Rabia al-Adawiya Mosque. Some Morsi backers wore homemade body armor and construction helmets and carried shields and clubs ? precautions, they said, against possible violence. Their crowd also swelled as sun went down and summer temperatures became more tolerable, but they were vastly outnumbered by anti-Morsi protesters thronging main roads and thoroughfares.
The opposition's goal is to show through sheer numbers in the street that the country has turned against Morsi to pressure him out. Similarly sized crowds turned out in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and the Nile Delta cities of Mansoura, Tanta and Damanhour, with sizeable rallies in cities nationwide.
"Mubarak took only 18 days although he had behind him the security, intelligence and a large sector of Egyptians. Morsi got all of us against him, even the army and police," said Amr Tawfeeq, an oil company employee marching toward Ittihadiya with a Christian friend. "He won't take long. We want him out and we are ready to pay the price."
Morsi, who has three years left in his term, has said he will not step down, saying street protests cannot be used to overturn the results of a free election.
"There is no room for any talk against this constitutional legitimacy," he told Britain's The Guardian newspaper in an interview published Sunday, rejecting early elections.
If an elected president is forced out, "well, there will (be) people or opponents opposing the new president too, and a week or a month later, they will ask him to step down," he said.
As the crowds massed, Morsi's spokesman repeated the president's longstanding offer of dialogue with the opposition to resolve the nation's political crisis, calling it "the only framework through which we can reach understandings."
"I cannot imagine any substitute for dialogue," said the spokesman Ihab Fahmi. The opposition has repeatedly turned down his offers for dialogue, arguing that they were for show.
There is a sense among opponents and supporters of Morsi that Sunday is a make-or-break day, hiking worries that the two camps will come to blows, even as each side insists it won't start violence. Already at least seven people, including an American, have been killed in clashes the past week, mainly in Nile Delta cities and the coastal city of Alexandria.
But up until nightfall Sunday, violence was limited. Two offices belonging to the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party, were attacked and ransacked Sunday by protesters in the city of Bani Suef, south of Cairo.
The demonstrations are the culmination of polarization and instability that have been building since Morsi's June 30, 2012 inauguration as Egypt's first freely elected leader. The past year has seen multiple political crises, bouts of bloody clashes and a steadily worsening economy, with power outages, fuel shortages, rising prices and persistent lawlessness and crime.
In one camp are the president and his Islamist allies, including the Muslim Brotherhood and more hard-line groups. Morsi supporters accuse Mubarak loyalists of being behind the protests, aiming to overturn last year's election results, just as they argue that remnants of the old regime have sabotaged Morsi's attempts to deal with the nation's woes and bring reforms.
Hard-liners among them have also given the confrontation a sharply religious tone, denouncing Morsi's opponents as "enemies of God" and infidels.
On the other side is an array of secular and liberal Egyptians, moderate Muslims, Christians ? and what the opposition says is a broad sector of the general public that has turned against the Islamists. They say the Islamists have negated their election mandate by trying to monopolize power, infusing government with their supporters, forcing through a constitution they largely wrote and giving religious extremists a free hand, all while failing to manage the country.
With protesters from a range of social and economic levels in a festive atmosphere, the crowds resembled those from the 18 days of protests against Mubarak ? a resemblance the protesters sought to reinforce, chanting the slogan from that time: "The people want to topple the regime."
In Cairo, some marchers carried tents, planning to camp in Tahrir or outside the palace. Residents of nearby buildings sprinkled water down on the marchers to cool them in the punishing summer heat and waved flags and blew whistles in support.
"The country is only going backward (under Morsi). He's embarrassing us and making people hate Islam," said Donia Rashad, a 24-year-old unemployed woman who wears the conservative Islamic headscarf. "We need someone who can feel the people and is agreeable to the majority," added Rashad, who wore a tiny tiara in the letters of "erhal."
"Today is the Brotherhood's last day in power," said Suliman Mohammed, a manager of a seafood company who was protesting at Tahrir, where crowds appeared to approach 300,000 after nightfall.
"I came here today because Morsi did not accomplish any of the (2011) revolution's goals. I don't need anything for myself, but the needs of the poor were not met."
At the pro-Morsi rally at the Rabia al-Adawiya Mosque, the crowd chanted, "God is great," and some held up copies of Islam's holy book, the Quran.
"The people hold the legitimacy and we support Dr. Mohamed Morsi," Ahmed Ramadan, one of those at the rally said. "We would like to tell him not to be affected by the opponents' protests and not to give up his rights we are here to support and protect him."
Underlining the potential for deadly violence, a flurry of police reports on Sunday spoke of the seizure of firearms, explosives and even artillery shells in various locations of the country, including Alexandria and the outskirts of Cairo. Banks closed early and most government offices shut down on Sunday, a work day in Egypt.
The opposition protests emerge from a petition campaign by a youth activist group known as Tamarod, Arabic for "Rebel." For several months, the group has been collecting signatures on a call for Morsi to step down.
On Saturday the group announced it had more than 22 million signatures ? proof, it claims, that a broad sector of the public no longer wants Morsi in office.
It was not possible to verify the claim. If true, it would be nearly twice the around 13 million people who voted for Morsi in last year's presidential run-off election, which he won with around 52 percent of the vote. Tamarod organizers said they discarded about 100,000 signed forms because they were duplicates.
Morsi's supporters have questioned the authenticity and validity of the signatures, but have produced no evidence of fraud.
Adding to his troubles, eight lawmakers from the country's interim legislature announced their resignation Saturday to protest Morsi's policies. The 270-seat chamber was elected early last year by less than 10 percent of Egypt's eligible voters, and is dominated by Islamists.
A legal adviser to Morsi also announced his resignation late Saturday in protest of what he said was Morsi's insult of judges in his latest speech on Wednesday.
A week ago, with the public sense of worry growing over the upcoming confrontation, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi last week gave the president and his opponents a week to reach a compromise. He warned that the military would intervene to prevent the nation from entering a "dark tunnel."
Army troops backed by armored vehicles were deployed Sunday in some of Cairo's suburbs, with soldiers, some in combat gear, stood at traffic lights and major intersections. Army helicopters flew over Cairo on several occasions on Sunday, adding to the day's sense of foreboding. The aircraft were loudly cheered every time they flew over Tahrir.
Morsi had called for national reconciliation talks in a Wednesday speech but offered no specifics. Opposition leaders dismissed the call as cosmetics.
Asked by The Guardian whether he was confident that the army would not intervene if the country becomes ungovernable, Morsi replied, "Very."
The Egyptian leader, however, said he did not know in advance of el-Sissi's comments last week.

With Catastrophes In Mind, Supercomputing Project Simulates Space Junk Collision
aarondubrow writes "Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin developed a fundamentally new way of simulating fabric impacts that captures the fragmentation of the projectiles and the shock response of the target. Running hundreds of simulations on supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, they assisted NASA in the development of ballistic limit curves that predict whether a shield will be perforated when hit by a projectile of a given size and speed. The framework they developed also allows them to study the impact of projectiles on body armor materials and to predict the response of different fabric weaves upon impact." With thousands of known pieces of man-made space junk, as well plenty of natural ones, it's no idle concern.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, best smartphone camera? Nope!
Home ? Asia, Technology ? Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, best smartphone camera? Nope!
?
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a new type of smartphone which tries to blur the line between smartphones and digital cameras. The S4 Zoom is somewhat related to the Samsung Galaxy S4 though in many ways it resembles the the old Samsung Galaxy S2 actually, and not even the S3.
Although this is not the first smartphone to pack a real camera with optical zoom, it?s indeed a rarity and a very welcomed one.
Back in 2009 Samsung released its first smartphone with an optical 12MP camera called Samsung SCH-W880 AMOLED 12. After 4 years Samsung finally released its second smartphone with an optical camera called Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, a part of market which seems to develop extremely slow.
The Galaxy S4 Zoom packs a 16MP camera with a huge 10x optical zoom. Even though the camera should be fantastic, it isn?t! Most photos taken with the S4 Zoom are actually worse and more blurry than the photos taken with a normal Galaxy S4 (I9500 or I9505) which only has a 13MP camera.
Photo sample cropped and resized taken with Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom?s 16MP camera.
The only benefit that comes out from this camera is the gigantic 10x optical zoom. It is important to understand that only the optical zoom is a real zoom and that the digital zoom featured in all cameras is useless. Digital zoom is nothing more than just image cropping and resizing which eventually ends up in quality loss.
Photo sample cropped and resized taken with Samsung Galaxy S4?s 13MP camera.
Even though Galaxy S4 Zoom has a great 10x optical zoom, it is however just a downgrade from the original Galaxy Camera GC100 which had a better 21x optical zoom.
The camera found on Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom C1010 is almost the exact same camera used in Samsung?s Galaxy Camera GC100, which is very similar to the S4 Zoom in almost every aspect except that the Galaxy Camera wasn?t a phone. The device lacked the ability to make direct phone calls even though it had a 3G SIM card slot. You could however install voice and video call apps and use it as a phone also.
The best camera ever built on a smartphone still remains the one found on Nokia 808 PureView and the future Nokia Lumia 1020 which will pack the exact same camera that the 808 PureView packed a year ago.
Photo sample cropped and resized taken with Nokia 808 PureView?s 41MP camera.
As you can clearly see from the above photos, which were all taken at full resolution with their settings set to full high quality, then resized and cropped so they can approximately look the same, Galaxy S4 13MP beats Galaxy S4 Zoom?s 16MP camera. There?s not even worth mentioning again that Nokia 808 PureView?s 41MP easily outperformed both Galaxy S4s in terms of photo quality.
Other features of Galaxy S4 Zoom
As we already said before, Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is more related with Galaxy S2 than with the S4. The S4 Zoom comes with a 4.3 inch screen, the exact screen size of the S2, but with a slightly better resolution 540?960 instead of S2?s 480?800 and 1.5GB RAM instead of 1GB RAM. S4 Zoom?s screen resolution and RAM quantity is identical to what S4 Mini offers, but not the rest of its features?
S4 Zoom?s CPU is also similar to S2?s CPU, it comes with a Dual-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9, similar to S2?s Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 and they both come with the exact same GPU, the famous Mali-400.
Samsung Galaxy S4 (non-Zoom) comes in two versions: one with a Octa Core (two Quad Core CPUs) called I9500 and one with a Quad Core CPU called I9505. Even the Galaxy S3 comes with a Quad Core CPU. So the Galaxy S4 Zoom doesn?t have a Quad Core? it has a Dual Core, almost identical with the one found in S2. Unfortunately though, the S4 Zoom comes with a tiny 8GB internal memory, which is lower than S2?s two versions 16GB and 32GB internal memory.
And there?s one more thing which we found to be quite similar to the S2? It comes with an FM Radio. For some stupid reason, the FM Radio was removed the original S4. None of the S4s, I9500, I9505, I537 nor the newest and fastest S4 SHV-E330S comes with FM Radio, except for I9190 (S4 Mini) and of course for Galaxy S2 I9100 which together with S4 Mini seem to be the base for Galaxy S4 Zoom.
Shortly said, S4 Zoom is not worthy of carrying the name of S4, instead it should have been called Samsung Galaxy S2 Zoom. Galaxy S4 Zoom is far from being impressive compared to its own predecessor Galaxy Camera GC100.
Even though the Galaxy S4 Zoom is almost a complete failure, we still salute the idea of bringing real cameras with real optical zoom on smartphones, that?s definitely a good step in the right direction.
