Video: The Last Dive, Part 6

Dateline NBC

'Dateline NBC,' the signature broadcast for NBC News in primetime, premiered in 1992. Since then, it has been pioneering a new approach to primetime news programming. The multi-night franchise, supplemented by frequent specials, allows NBC to consistently and comprehensively present the highest-quality reporting, investigative features, breaking news coverage and newsmaker profiles.

Online College, Find University: Personal training / Fitness - A ...


What about physical therapy programs? Both the personal training and physical therapy programs focus on designing some training sessions to improve the health of their clients. The difference is that fitness trainers work with healthy people who want to control body weight or get a better shape. On the other hand, physical therapists have to guide the people who have dealt with some sort of illness or injury. Personal trainers and physical therapists work in two different ways with two different categories of people to attain same goal. ie, better fitness for their clients. If you are interested in a healthcare profession, then you can choose either the career of a personal trainer or of a physical therapist.

A career as fitness trainers demands certifications from different accredited certification organizations. Since there are different specialization options, requirements for certifications also vary. But initiating your career as a physical therapist requires long term education. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), ?physical therapist is required to complete a graduate degree - either a masters or clinical doctorate - from an accredited education program. A growing majority of programs offer the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree?. Students can even specialize in some specific areas such as cardiovascular and pulmonary, clinical electrophysiology, geriatrics, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, sports and Women's Health. Soon after the completion of program, graduates can appear for the licensure examination.

If physical therapy follows a holistic approach, then reflexology is an alternative medical practice. While physical therapy and personal training programs focus on health fitness, reflexology helps the clients to relieve from stress. This art of natural healing helps in regenerating the human body. Principles of massage therapy and zone theory are combined in this physical act. So individuals who want to be the part of healthcare sector and help others to live a health life can go for these career options. So start your search today and step into a rewarding career.

Diablotek Abyss


There's been a heartening renaissance with budget PC cases in recent years. As models like the Thermaltake Dokker ?and the NZXT H2 ?have shown, it's possible for companies to include big features and deliver good build experiences, but still maintain a sub-$100 price. Unfortunately, these advancements are not universal. With its Abyss ($64.99 list), Diablotek demonstrates that it's possible to get the broadest strokes correct but drop the ball on practically everything else. The result is a case that fulfills its basic task, but does so with little finesse.

The Abyss' best quality is, in fact, its outward flair. The 17.2-by-8.3-by-20-inch (HWD) case is fashioned mostly of white steel, with three significant exceptions: the white plastic front panel, the black mesh ornamentation on that panel (specifically, the covers over the drive bays and the 120mm intake fan); and the windowed side panel. It's not necessarily an adventurous look, but plenty of clever angles (the fan grille resembles a star, for example), unexpected lines, and vent-shaped depressions help the Abyss project a healthy sci-fi vibe that makes it appear more expensive than it actually is. Two grommeted holes in the rear panel (where there's also a single 120mm exhaust fan) for routing liquid cooling piping also suggested latent gaming PC potential.

Open up the Abyss and you'll see what, at first glance, looks like a typically well-appointed interior (which, for the record, is primarily white as well). Two filtered vents in the floor (including one in the power supply bay) aid with passive cooling, and a large hole cut into motherboard tray's upper-left section facilitates adding an aftermarket CPU cooler, but there aren't that many additional holes for routing cables. Whereas Thermaltake and NZXT have lately begun giving you plenty of these, only four are accessible after you install an ATX motherboard on the Abyss: One, located near the bottom, is decently wide, but three others on the side are narrow and may make it difficult to send cables and wires where you want them. (If you're installing a microATX or Mini ITX motherboard, you will have two more options, but they're even smaller.) And, aside from the channel those holes delineate, you'll find almost no room below the motherboard for stashing cables.

You do have a generous amount of space (slightly more than 1.5 inches) between the motherboard's interior edge and the start of the drive well, though some of this will be compromised when you add 3.5-inch drives (the intake fan keeps them from sliding all the way in). But there's only one-eighth inch between the bottom of the motherboard and the top of the power supply?cramped quarters for connecting cables to headers or hooking up front-panel wires. Space is a problem from another standpoint, too: Although there's technically room to install an oversized video card like the AMD Radeon HD 6990 , the case's interior design makes it impossible to do so in the most likely location of the first accessible PCI Express (PCIe) x16 slot, so even the attempt is pointless. It looks like it should work, but it doesn't quite.

That's true of numerous other elements, too. Eight of the drive bays (the four 5.25-inch external bays and the four 3.5-inch internal bays) use tool-free retention brackets to hold the drives in place, but having one on each side inconveniently forces you to open both side panels rather than just the main one to secure the components. The remaining two bays (one external 3.5-inch and the bottom-most internal 3.5-inch) require screws to keep the drives in place. And if you want to install a 2.5-inch drive but you don't have a 3.5-inch adapter, forget it: There's no place to even just screw in smaller drives.

The seven expansion slots are also not tool-free. The spacers are attached and pop out easily, but installing a card requires screwing it in?and, if you change your configuration later and want to replace one or more spacers, you can't even do that. This obviously saves money, but it's a poor solution; the inexpensive ($59.99 list) MSI Raptor's external bracket, which haphazardly clamped down its loose spacers, wasn't an ideal solution, but it was better (though it also required a screwdriver).

Wackier still are two other characteristics of the drive well and one of the front-panel ports. The fourth 5.25-inch bay is blocked by a mount for installing a second intake fan; there's simply no way to install an optical drive in it (though it might be able to house a smaller device of some kind), leaving one wondering why there's a bay there at all. Even stranger is the black plastic panel at the rear of the 3.5-inch bay section. Printed with the words "Remove for long card," it's precariously positioned between the second and third bays, but provided no discernible function as it doesn't block anything near even the longest cards. If you remove it, not only do you gain no appreciable component space, but you also subject yourself to the mother of all migraines trying to get back in its original position. (It took us?no exaggeration?ten minutes to properly align everything again.) And regarding the front-panel ports, it's nice to have two USB 3.0 ports accompanying the headphone and microphone jacks, but why is there a slot (even bracketed over) to accommodate an SD card reader when no reader is included?

Things like this don't identify the Diablotek Abyss as a serious case for serious builders. As it is, it will suffice provided your needs aren't extensive or your expectations high. But more satisfying cases are out there, for not much more money, in the aforementioned Thermaltake Dokker and NZXT H2. And even the MSI Raptor, which will save you a few dollars more, is less frustrating to build in. Diablotek's case may be a looker, but, as always, the devil is in the details, and that's where the Abyss derails.

Google patent filing would identify faces in videos, spot the You in YouTube

Google patent filing would identify faces in videos, spot the You in YouTube

Face detection is a common sight in still photography, but it's a rarity in video outside of certain research projects. Google may be keen to take some of the mystery out of those clips through a just-published patent application: its technique uses video frames to generate clusters of face representations that are attached to a given person. By knowing what a subject looks like from various angles, Google could then attach a name to a face whenever it shows up in a clip, even at different angles and in strange lighting conditions. The most obvious purpose would be to give YouTube viewers a Flickr-like option to tag people in videos, but it could also be used to spot people in augmented reality apps and get their details -- imagine never being at a loss for information about a new friend as long as you're wearing Project Glass. As a patent, it's not a definitive roadmap for where Google is going with any of its properties, but it could be a clue as to the search giant's thinking. Don't be surprised if YouTube can eventually prove that a Google+ friend really did streak across the stage at a concert.

Shares rise on hopes of more monetary stimulus

TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares rose on Wednesday, extending gains for a third day in a row, as investors kept hopes high for more monetary policy stimulus to support the faltering global economy, ahead of a policy meeting by the European Central Bank.

U.S. equities rallied while European shares closed at a two-month high on Tuesday on expectations of more stimulus action by central banks, as well as better-than-expected U.S. data on new orders for manufactured goods in May.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan <.miapj0000pus> advanced as much as 0.8 percent to a seven-week high, led by the energy <.miapjen00pus> and materials <.miapjmt00pus> sectors, which in turn bolstered resource-reliant Australian shares <.axjo> up 0.8 percent.

Japan's Nikkei average <.n225> added 0.4 percent. <.t/>

U.S. markets are closed for the Independence Day holiday.

The ECB is expected to cut its main refinancing rate to a record low below 1 percent at its policy meeting on Thursday. Money market traders are evenly split on whether the ECB will cut the deposit rate.

The ECB has two other interest rates: the marginal lending rate that banks use for emergency overnight borrowing and its deposit rate which acts as a floor for the money market.

The euro stood at $1.2592, well below Friday's high of $1.2693, with traders expecting the single currency to consolidate between $1.2560/1.2660 ahead of the ECB decision.

Few expect the ECB to take other measures, such as reactivating the bank's bond-buy plan - a tool that could effectively cap borrowing costs in highly-indebted states.

"The ECB is likely to cut its main refinancing rate strictly in response to the deteriorating economy, but markets could be trying to link a growth strategy agreed by the European leaders last week to look for an additional easing option," said Takao Hattori, senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo.

"As political turmoil in Europe subsided for now, after last week's meeting, monetary policy focus is shifting to economic fundamentals, and the way markets are warming up to riskier assets, it appears they are anticipating more easing also from the United States as well as Japan," Hattori said.

As risk appetite warmed, the commodity-linked Australian dollar rose 0.2 percent at $1.0298, also underpinned by Australia's retail sales outpacing expectations in May.

China's services firms grew at their slowest rate in 10 months in June as new order growth cooled, albeit while marking 43 months of consistent expansion, a private sector survey showed on Wednesday.

"Markets are likely to remain unsettled on overriding growth-related concerns, but emerging market valuations already reflect reasonable worst-case outcomes and there is also scope for (unanticipated) policy action," Morgan Stanley said in a research note.

GOLD/BRENT RATIO EYED

Expectations of further accommodation from the ECB and/or an announcement to increase quantitative easing by the Bank of England on the same day "are all examples of market-friendly events, propping equities and favoring oil relative to gold," said Ashraf Laidi, chief global strategist at City Index.

Declining gold to Brent ratios have historically proven positive for global risk appetite, and since April 2009, each time the gold/Brent ratio neared 17.0, equities stabilized before pushing higher, he noted.

The ratio currently stood around 16.10, near levels in early June when markets had been bolstered by similar hopes for monetary stimulus.

The benchmark Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index <.crb>, a global commodities benchmark, rose nearly 3 percent to a 7-1/2 week high on Tuesday. It has gained 7.7 percent over the past three sessions, the third-largest three-day gain on record.

U.S. crude futures was down 0.2 percent at $87.50 a barrel after jumping nearly $4 to settle at the highest close since May 30, while Brent also eased 0.3 percent at $100.41 a barrel after surging more than $3 to end at the highest settlement since May 31.

Spot gold was steady around $1,617 an ounce, hovering near a two-week high hit on Tuesday.

Easing risk aversion boosted Asian credit markets, with the spread on the iTraxx Asia ex-Japan investment-grade index narrowing by 7 basis points.

EUROPEAN CAUTION REMAINS

But currency strategist at Societe Generale Kit Juckes warned the commodities' rally was more to do with short covering and not likely to be sustainable, keeping a bearish stance on the euro and commodity-linked currencies.

"When backtesting since the 1960s, you need loose monetary policy and an expectation of the business cycle picking up to get a sustained rally," Juckes said. "We are missing a sense of stabilization in the cycle, let alone a recovery."

Euro zone finance ministers, at their monthly meeting on July 9, will hammer out details of last week's agreement allowing rescue funds to be used to stabilize bond markets and directly help recapitalize stricken banks.

On the same day, a final agreement for European aid of up to 100 billion euros ($126.06 billion) for Spanish banks is due, but it may be delayed until July 20 to allow more time for negotiations, two sources close to the talks said on Tuesday.
