This image from the right Mast Camera (Mastcam) of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows a scoop full of sand and dust lifted by the rover's first use of the scoop on its robotic arm. In the foreground, near the bottom of the image, a bright object is visible on the ground. The object might be a piece of rover hardware. This image was taken during the mission's 61st Martian day, or sol (Oct. 7, 2012), the same sol as the first scooping. After examining Sol 61 imaging, the rover team decided to refrain from using the arm on Sol 62 (Oct. 8). Instead, the rover was instructed to acquire additional imaging of the bright object, on Sol 62, to aid the team in assessing possible impact, if any, to sampling activities. For scale, the scoop is 1.8 inches (4.5 centimeters) wide, 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) long.
It's still possible that kids playing active Wii games burned a few extra calories during their gaming sessions that the movement device didn't pick up on -- for instance, if they were moving their arms a lot in a boxing game, Barkley said.
I cannot think of the Wii game that I have played that I could not do sitting down (with obvious exclusion to Wii Board games), including various dance games. Seeing as you are holding the controller in your hand and it is not attached your waist I'm inclined to think that invalidates this test to some degree as the data capture accelerometer for the testing was on the waist.
I do not recall, and quick search did not return any prior example of, anonymous extorting info/data for money. Why attach this now? To me it reads more like "Anonymous ignores bribes, cop sting failed". Granted there have been threats of various sorts, but I cannot recall there being a money sum attached to any of them.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
