Argentine couple wins world tango competition

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) ? A hometown couple triumphed Monday in Argentina's annual tango competition, outdancing pairs from around the world. The Salon Tango finals, followed by Tuesday's Stage Tango competition, are the highlights of the two-week festival, now celebrating its tenth year.

Facundo de la Cruz Gomez Palavecino and Paola Sanz, a couple in real life as well as on the dance floor, won with a score of 8.81 from an exacting seven-member jury comprised of dancers and choreographers as a crowd of thousands cheered them on in Luna Park stadium.

"This is the dream of every dancer, to win the global competition and have more job offers. We achieved it in the face of very good dancers from all over the world," a very emotional Gomez Palavecino said after their victory was announced.

In the end, four Argentine couples won the most points. The top winners walked away with prizes including $8,600 dollars in cash and tickets to Paris, where they'll be expected to perform. More importantly, they garnered the respect of tango fans worldwide.

"This competition can change the lives of the winners," agreed the capital's culture minister, Hernan Lombardi. "They'll begin to travel the world, make themselves famous and become ambassadors of Buenos Aires."

This year's festival also honored Astor Piazzolla, the legendary composer and bandoneonista who revived the genre and infuriated purists by blending tango with rock music in the 1970s.

Piazzolla died 20 years ago but tango is still growing in popularity as a unique form of music, poetry and dance. This year's festival showed the genre is still evolving, too ? from an under-25 orchestra that wowed the opening party to a group of five young Norwegians who interpreted the genre as if they were born in tango's birthplace on the shores of the Rio de la Plata, the wide river shared by Argentina and Uruguay where the genre first developed in the late 19th century.

Piazzolla's grandson, drummer Daniel Piazzolla, recreated with other musicians the Electronic Octet, a group his grandfather put together in the 1970s that shook the dust off a musical culture that had been stuck in the early 20th century. The elder Piazzolla's masterwork "Adios Nonino," combining his form of the accordion with jazz and dance, was restaged by choreographer Ana Maria Stekelman, who also served as a judge in the dance final.

In all, more than 2,000 artists converged on Buenos Aires for the two-week cultural festival, which celebrated its 10th year this Argentine winter. Art exhibits, book readings, oral histories, and master classes offered free to the public by eight of the previous winning couples were among the highlights.

"This is an event which constantly offers surprises, bringing together the most exciting examples of the genre and betting on crossing over to new generations," said Gustavo Mozzi, the event's artistic director.

A total of 491 couples from 32 countries competed, with a final 42 pairs reaching Monday night's final in the Salon Tango competition.

Each man wore the couple's number pinned to the back of an elegant suit as he twirled a partner in a dazzling dress and high heels around the stage in the Luna Park stadium. Competition rules require the couple to maintain physical contact while the music plays, while moving constantly in a counter-clockwise direction. Acrobatic swoops, swirls and passionate clutches are encouraged, but must be contained within the precise style of traditional tango: the competitors may not lift their legs above their knees.

Sixteen pairs from around the world challenged the Argentines in the Salon final, including three couples from Russia, two from Colombia and two from the U.S. The other finalists made it from Belgium, Canada, Chile, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Singapore, Uruguay and Venezuela.

After Monday night's Salon Tango final comes Tuesday's final in the Stage Tango competition, which invites dancers to incorporate other dance forms.

Louie, Season 3

Jonah, I think you got Jeanie?s motivations to a T: She wants a vicarious thrill, and sees in Louie a chance to get it. And how she gets it. That Park Slope self-pleasuring made Allison Williams? autoerotic moment on Girls seem downright decorous. (And it was far more convincing than Meg Ryan?s famously persuasive put-on at Katz?s.) Chlo? Sevigny is, like nearly every guest star this season, terrific?she looks genuinely spent as she brushes past Louie, her goal for the afternoon accomplished.

And the part she played highlighted one of the great virtues of this show. On a more conventional series, or in a standard Hollywood rom-com, Jeanie would exist to further the ends of our hero. She would find his lost love, or fall for him?do something to advance the narrative arc of his life. That?s not how real life works, obviously, and it?s not how this show operates either. Whether it?s the aggressive Melissa Leo or the disappointed Maria Bamford or the self-absorbed Sevigny, the characters Louie encounters are independent entities, with their own lives and their own interests. They don?t usually coincide with his.

I agree, too, that Posey?s Liz haunted the second half of the episode as much as she did the first?and not only because Lilly is developing in just the way Liz said she would. Recall that ?Daddy?s Girlfriend? began not with fantasies about some woman saying ?I love you,? but with idyllic, black-and-white images of parenthood shared: a blanket in the park with books, a happy stepmom reading to her stepdaughters. On the afternoon of ?Lilly Changes,? Louie could have used some help?this may be the most flustered he?s been as a father in nearly three full seasons of the series. A few weeks back, Allison said that C.K. generally presented his character as a pretty great dad, but that wasn?t the case here. First, he replies ungenerously to a teacher who, alluding to ?budgets cuts,? asks if he can help carry some chairs. (The request comes from someone Louie considered, in one of those black-and-white daydreams, as a possible stepmom?before deciding, it seemed, that he just didn?t find her attractive enough.) His carousel-and-ice-cream solution to Lilly?s brooding also seemed unusually simple-minded. (Though I?m sure it was also meant to highlight Lilly?s new grown-upness; these childish pleasures are not enough for her anymore.)

But the most notable of Louie?s parental failures was his refusal to call his ex-wife when Lilly went missing. His fear of her rebuke beat back his concern for the safety of his child?which is a fairly dark thought to have about yourself. And it?s a thought he returned to in the stand-up segment at the end, when he said he wouldn?t put seat belts on his daughters in cabs because he was afraid to dig through those dirty seat cushions to find their buckles. ?So my kids get in a cab and they just hurtle through space at a speed determined by the profit motive of an exhausted man from another country where life is shit-cheap, where kids die all day and it?s boring.?

But then this episode began with some very dark thoughts. ?I was having trouble sleeping, like we all should,? he says, in a stand-up excerpt that opened the episode. Then he characterized life in general: ?Buy some shit, use it, it breaks. Try to fuck somebody, hope your shits don?t hurt too bad.? Calculating his dwindling years on Earth, he described it as ?happy math.? This is par for Louie?s course: Just last week, he described his life as ?boilerplate misery, alone in the world, might as well be a maggot sucking a dead cat?s face, what?s the point.?

There?s something cathartic in this, to be sure, putting words to your grimmest thoughts. I?m brought to mind again of Maria Bamford?s comment, that there might be some relief in creatively facing your worst fears. And surely losing a child in the manner depicted tonight must be one of a parent?s absolute worst fears. But has the note of misery sharpened lately? Or am I just too young to understand the happy math?

Taxis are magic, nobody dies,

You no i waited for this to release and then the One series dropped and i jumped all over it but I'm not really surprised Tmo has always been slow on getting flagship phones from anyone other than HTC even with the S3 they shot themselves by jacking up the price 80$, wondering with there thinking with phone selection, sub par service and sub par selection of phones

Well the At&t Note refurb is $49.99 right now. Great deal!!!

not with the Note II launch being imminent.

8. Tre-Nitty posted on yesterday, 22:46 3 1

OK, whatever makes you feel better. Android loyalists are so weird. The only way $49.99 for a Note isn't good, is if the Note 2 is $49.99.

10. KingKurogiii posted on yesterday, 23:08 0 0

no, just good with seeing the big picture. i'd rather make a larger down payment to have a much, much better device since i'd have to make the same payment for it for the next two years of my life as i would the outdated device which adds up to a lot if you didn't know already and i don't know about you but i think that if i'm going to pay that much money over the term then i deserve the best experience i can have in that time even if i have to wait and save for it. saving is not complicated, deals like this are only for the impatient and the ones with lack of knowing.

11. Tre-Nitty posted on yesterday, 23:36 0 0

How do you know it'll be that much better? I'm sorry but $49.99 sounds like a great deal to me!

12. KingKurogiii posted on yesterday, 23:49 0 0

even if the Note only uses an S4 it'll be leaps and bounds ahead of the Crapdragon in the US version of the Note and then not only that but support for it will grow instead of diminish like it will for the Note an then i'm sure it'll have the larger display that is so frequently rumored, 2GB of RAM, probably a larger battery, it's worth it if not just for the difference in power which will be significant. my final sentence from the last comment stands.

5. Zayuh24 posted on yesterday, 22:39 1 0

Look how long it took for it to come to Tmo... Carrier exclusives screw over everybody. Samsung missed out on potentially HALF of T-mobile sales, as well as a good portion of Sprint subscribers. Then the pricing of it was terrible to even try to compete. No one wants to pay top dollars for last year's technology.

7. MoonlitTear posted on yesterday, 22:45 0 0

Samsung Galaxy Note had an exclusive with at&t. T-Mobile could not get it til that went off, which it did in August. My theory is that T-mobile was informed that the Note II would ALSO be at&t exclusive and thus decided to carry the Note I. Now perhaps the Note II will NOT be an at&t exclusive. Which means t-Mobile can do what they are doing now. GETTING RID OF THIS OUTDATED MODEL TO GET THE NEW ONE!! Just a theory, but it fits the facts.

9. Jeradiah3 posted on yesterday, 22:56 0 0

I knew Tmobile wouldnt benefit from having a phone that is almost a year old lol. especially since the Note II will debut within a week or so

13. SprintPower posted on yesterday, 23:51 1 0

Ha! I TOLD YOU SO - Way too late. T-Mobile marketing geniuses at work.

14. richardyarrell2011 posted on 1 hour ago 1 0

People wasting time hating on Tmobile sound exactly like what they are uneducated fools. I applaud Tmobile for doing what they had to do getting the original Galaxy Note 1yr after At&t. They secured the fact that YES they will be getting the Galaxy Note 2 and YES will be the first US carrier to get it. The fault laid with Samsung making that stupid deal in the first place with At&t from an exclusive standpoint that was a very bad move. Enter 2012 Samsung learned from it's mistake very quickly they launched the Galaxy S3 on all carriers in the US the ONLY manufacturer to ever do a product in that manner from an Android standpoint. Let me remind you DWEEBS that Tmobile was the first carrier to launch the Galaxy S3 on June 21st in stores that will happen again for the GALAXY NOTE 2. This time all carriers EXCEPT VERIZON will see the Galaxy Note 2 WHY because Verizon is committed to that UGLY ASS Lg Vu and in bed with Htc for it's Galaxy Note competitor. So all Samsung has to worry about is Tmobile, At&t, and Sprint. Plus with Tmobile starting unlimited on September 5th as well as being the first carrier to have jellybean on the current Galaxy S3 very soon to go along with the LTE ADVANCED network arriving in early 2013 it looks to me that Tmobile is the place to be not Verizon or At@t for that matter. The joke is on everyone else..

Game cam brings out the worst in local wildlife ? Living ? Bangor ...

FORT KENT, Maine ? Living out in the country, as we do here on Rusty Metal Farm, contact with some of the local wildlife is a near daily occurrence.

Sharing the farm with a seemingly endless variety of critters of all shapes and sizes with fur, feathers or scales means that on any given day the odds are in my favor of seeing something intriguing or mysterious enough to send me running to consult one of my nature books or the Internet.

But nowhere in my personal library or from within the depths of Google is there any reference to the animosity that bears hold toward photography.

Certainly, there are cultural and societal references documenting human emotions about being photographed.

In some cultures having one?s photo taken is perceived as having one?s soul stolen.

In others ? largely those populated by celebrities such as Sean Penn ? it?s an invitation to a smackdown.

Now you can add bears to the list of those who prefer to remain off camera.

Earlier this summer a friend and I set up a game camera next to Rusty Metal Pond in an attempt to capture images of a pair of beavers who had moved in and set up house.

Mr. and Mrs. Beaver were in the middle of constructing a pretty impressive lodge and we figured it would be fun to document their progress.

The camera itself is a fairly simple piece of technology running off a set of batteries and a built-in motion detector.

When an animal or bird ? or, as we learned, a bug, leaf or branch ? walks, flies or wafts past, the movement trips the camera?s shutter and a photo is taken. There?s even a flash for low light and night shots.

Patience, my friend told me, is the secret to getting good photos with a game camera. The longer it?s left alone, the better the odds of capturing something interesting.

What we were hoping for, of course, was a National Geographic-quality sequence of photos of our friends the beavers building their home.

What we got was a less-than impressive array of fuzzy night photos in which, if you squint and look at the images from the right angle, there may be a beaver doing something.

There also were several shots of the vegetation in front of the camera and way more photos than I ever needed of me on the riding lawn mower cutting the grass around the pond.

Were the beavers camera shy? Were their lodge-building techniques proprietary in nature and thus no photos allowed?

We may never know, but clearly if we wanted some game shots, a change of venue was in order.

So we reloaded the camera?s memory card and set off to position it on a trail here on the farm known to be frequented by creatures great and small.

And there it sat for more than two months ? out of sight and definitely out of mind until last week when it hit us, ?Wow, maybe we should go check the camera.?

A short hike later brought us to within sight of where we had left it, but it seemed to be missing.

Getting closer, we saw it was not missing, rather the tripod on which it sat had fallen over.

Getting closer still, we then saw it had not so much fallen as it had been smacked over and perhaps even stomped on.

What creature, we asked ourselves, would hold such malice toward an innocent game camera? We could hardly wait to get back home and find out.

The first series of photos showed the north end of a southbound female moose sauntering by either unaware of, or uncaring of the game camera, though now that I look back on it, her expression as she looked over her shoulder toward the lens may have been one of, ?Does this camera make my butt look big??

The next two shots were of a smaller moose at night and then some more of those fuzzy, ?find-the-animal-in-this-picture? shots.

Then ? pay dirt.

An extreme closeup of a black bear looking directly into the lens.

Now, we are not sure what happened next, but best as we can figure, bears ? or at least that particular bear ? are not exactly patrons of the visual arts.

The shot immediately after the close up is a sort of action photo as the camera is pushed to the ground.

The next series shows the ground from a profile angle since the camera was on its side with a bear apparently jumping up and down on top of it.

Bears are known for having a keen sense of smell, and my friend and I wondered if perhaps they have pretty good hearing to go with that and perhaps the soft ?clicking? of the camera?s shutter irritated the bruin.

According to the American Bear Association?s website, ?It is believed that black bears hear much better than humans, probably in the ultrasonic range.?

The structure of a bear?s ear is unique from other omnivores in that, according to the website: ?The middle ear consists of a balloon-shaped, bony structure that forms a resonating chamber around the ear drum.? Called the auditory bullae, this structure increases hearing sensitivity.

Over the years, I?ve had more than one bear encounter here on the farm ? from being charged by a mother bear with a cub, to having a young bear circle the small cabin I use as a writing studio.

Every time the bear and I have both come away unscathed ? if a bit rattled, at least on my part.

Bears seem to want to mind their own business and avoid humans.

Camera-toting paparazzi, on the other hand, could very well be fair game.

So, just in case, next time we set up the game camera, it?s going to be tied to a tree.

Sinus irrigation with tap water linked to two deaths

ScienceDaily (Aug. 23, 2012) ? When water containing the Naegleria fowleri ameba, a single-celled organism, enters the nose, the organisms may migrate to the brain, causing primary amebic meningoencephalitis, a very rare -- but usually fatal -- disease. A new study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases describes the first reported cases in the United States implicating nasal irrigation using tap water in these infections.

Now available online, the study highlights the changing epidemiology of this uncommon disease, as well as the importance of using appropriately treated water for nasal irrigation.

From 2002 to 2011, 32 N. fowleri infections were reported in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this latest study, Jonathan Yoder, MPH, coordinator of waterborne diseases and outbreak surveillance at CDC, reports the work of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and CDC in investigating two cases in 2011 in Louisiana. Two unrelated patients, a 28-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman, each died within five days of being admitted to the hospital with meningitis-like symptoms. Both had used a neti pot for regular sinus irrigation. Because family members of both patients were certain the patients had no recent history of recreational freshwater contact, which is typically associated with the disease, sinus irrigation using disinfected (chloraminated) tap water was implicated.

"N. fowleri was found in water samples from both homes," Yoder said, but "not found in the treatment plants or distribution systems of the municipal water systems servicing the patients' homes." Although it was never clear how N. fowleri were introduced into the plumbing of the patients' houses, once there, the organisms were able to colonize the hot water systems.

In addition, Yoder's team also tested commercially available reconstituted salt packets for use with neti pots and found that these were unable to reduce the number of N. fowleri organisms within a four-hour timeframe -- far outside the real world conditions of less than a minute that most people spend -- showing that simply adding salt mixtures to tap water does not inactivate the organisms fast enough. As a result, Yoder advises that the simplest methods to avoid infection is to purchase water that is labeled as distilled or sterile, or use only water that was previously boiled for 1 minute (at elevations above 6,500 feet, boil for 3 minutes) that has been left to cool, or use water that has gone through a filter with a pore size of 1 micron or smaller.

Many infections from N. fowleri occur in warm freshwater locations following localized heat waves. Whether projected climate change could lead to an expansion of the ameba's geographic range is unknown, the authors noted. They recommend that systematic environmental sampling be carried out to document changes in the ecology of N. fowleri so that measures to prevent its spread can be improved. It is also important to raise the level of awareness about the disease among physicians treating patients with meningitis-like symptoms, the authors wrote.

Deaths from N. fowleri infection, which remain very rare, "are tragic for the families of those infected," Yoder said. "The CDC is working to understand this organism so that we can improve prevention recommendations, identify N. fowleri infections, and improve clinical treatment."

Fast Facts

  1. Primary amebic meningoencephalitis is a very rare but usually fatal disease caused when water containing Naegleria fowleri amebae enters the nose, allowing the single-celled organisms to migrate to the brain.
  2. In 2011, two fatal cases of the disease reported from Louisiana occurred in persons following nasal irrigation. This is the first time that contaminated tap water coming from a disinfected municipal water system has been linked to N. fowleri infections in the United States.
  3. For prevention, health officials advise using only previously boiled, filtered, distilled, or sterilized water when making solutions for irrigating, flushing, or rinsing the sinuses.

NASA braces for "7 minutes of terror" Mars plunge

(AP) ? NASA's most high-tech Mars rover on Sunday zeroed in on the red planet where it will attempt a tricky celestial gymnastics routine during a "seven minutes of terror" plummet through the atmosphere.

The Curiosity rover was poised to hit the top of the Martian atmosphere at 13,000 mph. If all goes according to script, it will be slowly lowered by cables inside a massive crater in the final few seconds.

NASA was ready for the "Super Bowl of planetary exploration," said Doug McCuistion, head of the Mars exploration program at NASA headquarters.

"We score and win or we don't score and we don't win," said McCuistion.

If all goes well, mission control at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory should hear a signal at 10:31 p.m. Pacific. The space agency warned that confirmation could take longer if an orbiting spacecraft that's supposed to listen for Curiosity during the descent is not in the right place.

Curiosity's trajectory was so accurate that engineers decided to wave off a last chance to tweak its position before atmosphere entry.

"We're ready to head in," said mission manager Brian Portock.

Not ones to tempt fate, flight controllers planned to break out the "good luck" peanuts before Curiosity takes the plunge as part of a long-running tradition.

One scientist who can relate to the building anxiety is Cornell University planetary scientist Steve Squyres, who headed NASA's last successful rover mission in 2004.

This time around, Squyres has a supporting role and planned to view the landing with other researchers in the "science bullpen."

"Landing on Mars is always a nerve-racking thing. You're never going to get relaxed about something like landing a spacecraft on Mars," said Squyres.

Sunday's touchdown attempt was especially intense because NASA is testing a brand new landing technique. Due to the communication delay between Mars and Earth, Curiosity will be on autopilot. There's also extra pressure because budget woes have forced NASA to rejigger its Mars exploration roadmap.

"There's nothing in the pipeline" beyond the planned launch of a Mars orbiter in 2013, said former NASA Mars czar Scott Hubbard, who teaches at Stanford University.

Curiosity was launched to study whether the Martian environment ever had conditions suitable for microbial life.

The voyage to Mars took over eight months and spanned 352 million miles. The trickiest part of the journey? The landing. Because Curiosity weighs nearly a ton, engineers drummed up a new and more controlled way to set the rover down.

The last Mars rovers, twins Spirit and Opportunity, were cocooned in air bags and bounced to a stop in 2004.

The plans for Curiosity called for a series of braking tricks, similar to those used by the space shuttle, and a supersonic parachute to slow it down. Next: Ditch the heat shield used for the fiery descent.

And in a new twist, engineers came up with a way to lower the rover by cable from a hovering rocket-powered backpack. At touchdown, the cords cut and the rocket stage crashes a distance away.

The nuclear-powered Curiosity, the size of a small car, is packed with scientific tools, cameras and a weather station. It sports a robotic arm with a power drill, a laser that can zap distant rocks, a chemistry lab to sniff for the chemical building blocks of life and a detector to measure dangerous radiation on the surface.

It also tracked radiation levels during the journey to help NASA better understand the risks astronauts could face on a future manned trip.

After several weeks of health checkups, the six-wheeled rover could take its first short drive and flex its robotic arm.

The landing site near Mars' equator was picked because there are signs of water everywhere, meeting one of the requirements for life as we know it. Inside Gale Crater is a 3-mile-high mountain, and images from space show the base appears rich in minerals that formed in the presence of water.

Previous trips to Mars have uncovered ice near the Martian north pole and evidence that water once flowed when the planet was wetter and toastier unlike today's harsh, frigid desert environment.

Curiosity's goal: To scour for basic ingredients essential for life, including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur and oxygen. It's not equipped to search for living or fossil microorganisms. To get a definitive answer, a future mission needs to fly Martian rocks and soil back to Earth to be examined by powerful laboratories.

The mission comes as NASA retools its Mars exploration strategy. Faced with tough economic times, the space agency pulled out of partnership with the European Space Agency to land a rock-collecting rover in 2018. The Europeans have since teamed with the Russians as NASA decides on a new roadmap.

Despite Mars' reputation as a spacecraft graveyard, humans continue their love affair with the planet, lobbing spacecraft in search of clues about its early history. Out of more than three dozen attempts ? flybys, orbiters and landings ? by the U.S., Soviet Union, Europe and Japan since the 1960s, more than half have ended disastrously.

One NASA rover that defied expectations is Opportunity, which is still busy wheeling around the rim of a crater in the Martian southern hemisphere eight years later.

Israeli parliament approves austerity measures

The Israeli parliament approved a series of austerity measures presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to help rein in the country's growing deficit.

The measures with slight modifications were passed in the Knesset by a vote of 28 to 16, according to a parliamentary source.

They also make up part of the budget deficit that has climbed to 4.0 percent of Israel's GDP -- twice that which was expected for 2012.

Netanyahu issued a statement praising the vote saying the measures would prevent a huge budget deficit and preserve and protect the Israeli economy against the global economic crisis.

The measures include an immediate increase of the VAT from 16 to 17 percent, as well as a one-percent tax hike next year for individuals whose monthly income is greater than 14,000 shekels (2,800 euros).

There were budget cuts worth 750 million shekels in several ministries, although defence, education and welfare were spared the budget axe.

The government's austerity programme however runs of risk of angering Israelis who regularly protest against the high cost of living.

According to a poll taken Friday, Netanyahu's popularity is at its lowest since he came to power in April 2009 with 60 percent of those surveyed dissatified with his performance, 31 percent satisfied, while the rest had no opinion.
