Burning one hectare equals 6000 car emissions?
Can someone please let me know where to find the data for the statement about burning one hectare equals emissions from 6000 cars? I would love to see links to the studies with these numbers, or at least numbers of the raw pieces (vehicle emissions, grassland burning emissions) and I can do the math. Thank you!
Closing Statement from Laura South
I agree with you, George. Everything I learned in grassland ecology said there was a role for fires. That is why I would like to see the raw data to make this statement. 6000 cars seems way too high to me, unless you are talking about something like car emissions in one hour. My science background makes me question everything, and want facts. If the facts are there, great. But there is always a story behind the facts.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 20 2013: Thanks for the contact, Paddy. I will email him and see what I get! All I could find by a google search was emissions from burning a rainforest, which seems to me would be a lot higher emissions than grassland. And from the statement, I don't know if it is car emissions per hour, day, year, or lifetime. Thanks again for the lead!

The HKS CAMP, known around the world as Computerized Au-tomobile Multi Player, debuted in 1996 as the first monitoring system of its kind. The HKS CAMP was designed as a graphical data display enabling end users to interface the CAMP system connected to the factory ECM to a heads up audio/video dis-play to monitor, in real-time scenario, multiple information from various engine parameters. The HKS CAMP system was considered a revolutionary unit at a time when entry-level in-line fuel pumps and rise rate fuel pressure regulators were considered high-tech fuel management for the import tuner world.
The HKS CAMP offered visual options to display, such as speed, rpm, gas mileage, fuel consumption, and injector duty cycle to name a few. The CAMP unit featured an impressive 32-bit RISC CPU for its day and was able to communicate with the end user's PC (Windows 95) enabling the user to analyze the vehicle data information from the comforts of their cockpit using a spreadsheet software. This invaluable tool served beneficial for CAMP users with the ability to display data logging graphs of rpm/speed/boost/fuel for every hundredth of a second to measure turbo boost in comparison to rpm/speed/fuel to properly recalibrate and tune the car. Using the optional HKS junction box, along with add-on sensors sold separately, expands the parameters of the CAMP, enabling drivers to monitor boost, EGT, temp, pressure, and g sensor unit. Perhaps the coolest feature that I always admired when using the CAMP unit back in the day was the fish function screensaver, which displays an aquarium environment. The fish's growth and ability to thrive is dependent on the end users driving condition, such as speed and gas mileage. If your vehicle's air/fuel ran excessively rich or lean, the tropical fishes will tend to go belly up. In my case the fishes never lasted for more than a minute-God bless their souls. The early version of the CAMP system was a performance enthusiast's dream come true, unfortunately many of its drawbacks came with its pre-OBD2 compatibility and need to purchase the optional sensors and junction box unit that ran the cost of the complete package setup upwards of $1,000.
On May 7, HKS released a new and improved version of the CAMP with its debut of the CAMP2. As technological advancements have grown by leaps and bounds since the original CAMP took to the market 12 years ago, HKS has taken many of the best features from the original unit and improved upon it before placing them into the new CAMP2 multifunction computer system.

A Boone County nurse's assistant has been arrested for stealing items from residents at an assisted living facility.
Florence Police say Natasha Helton, 22, of Burlington was an employee at Colonial Gardens on Hopeful Road.
After receiving complaints from residents and the administration of Colonial Gardens that medication and personal belongings such as jewelry and money seemed to be missing from residents' rooms, investigators used video surveillance to gather enough evidence to charge Helton. She's charged with two counts of theft by unlawful taking, three counts of theft of a controlled substance and one count of abuse or neglect of an adult by a caretaker.
The thefts appear to have taken place from December 2012 through February 2013.
Colonial Gardens is and has been cooperating with the investigation.

I've never made New Year resolutions or goals because.. Well I don't really know why. This year I've decided to try my hand at a few and keep them! With that said I decided to take on a few mind numbing projects like organization. If you know me then you know I have always had full intentions of being organized but where my intentions fail are the overwhelming anxiety I get. {You'll know what I mean when you see my closet before & after}.
I started with the bottom of the closet. I knew I had a lot of handbags but had no idea how many!
I FINALLY got all my clothes hung up & out of the huge laundry basket they were stacked up in. I found a new place for my excise & bender balls {that didn't have a lot of use in 2013} when I deflated them & put them back in their box & in a hall closet
to be forgotten about to use at a later date. After pulling all the stuff out & cleaned up I moved my other plastic bin filled with socks, hair products, & exercise clothes into the right side of the closet. It turned out to be the perfect housing for a few of my favorite bags. Here is the outcome:
Next I put together a cube storage bin. I took it outside to spray paint it first {which I should've taken pictures of for a DIY project. It's so cold outside I didn't think about it} but after it dried I brought it in to take the pain staking hour 1/2 to put it together. The little stand I had my tv on was a piece that I refurbished a few years ago. It was a piece I sort of through in my room, just to hold my tv. I just got tired of looking at it and what a great way to start a new year with a new piece of furniture that's functional? When I say functional I mean to hide all of my junk. To help hide all my junk I bought 3 boxes that fit perfectly in the little spaces. TADA!
I'm proud of myself! I didn't get hurt and I took a few hours out if day to get myself organized.

What Can Migraine Patients Do For Reducing Their Pain and Suffering?
The intensity of migraine headaches can be nothing less than excruciating. Powerful drugs like Ultracet can help manage this problem.
The intensity of migraine headaches can be nothing less than excruciating. Powerful drugs like Ultracet can help manage this problem.
Are you troubled with thyroid problems and don't know what to do? Well, here are some diet recommendations that can prove helpful.
Levothroid has been approved to treat hypothyroidism and goiter growths.
Use of efficient drugs such as Generic Levothroid can help in managing goiter in an effective and safe manner and also helps to prevent its complications.
Levothroid is a very good medicine for the treatment of hypothyroidism. This medicine can also be used for treating goiter and thyroid nodules.
Levothroid is a commonly used drug for the management of hypothyroidism. This drug is also used for managing other thyroid diseases like thyroid nodules and goiter.
Hypothyroidism is a disorder wherein the thyroid gland is not able to secrete sufficient quantities of the hormones that are required for the body to function properly. Insufficient hormonal secretions tend to disrupt almost all the chemical reactions inside the body.
If hypothyroidism is not treated, it could cause problems like obesity, infertility, heart disorders and joint problems, besides worsening any already existing health conditions.
Hypothyroidism Causes:
• Pituitary Disease: The pituitary gland is responsible for the thyroid functioning properly. When this gland does not function appropriately, a person could either suffer from an underactive or overactive thyroid gland.
• Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: This condition is amongst the most common causes of hypothyroidism. This disorder causes the immune system to see the thyroid gland as a foreign, harmful object. This causes the immune system to attack thyroid gland tissues, thereby leading to inflammation of the thyroid as well as a considerable decrease in the production of thyroid hormones.
• Iodine Deficiency: A deficiency of iodine within the body can lead to hypothyroidism. A sufficient amount of iodine is extremely important for normal thyroid activity. A lack of iodine can make it difficult for the thyroid glands to produce the required hormones.
• Damaged Thyroid Gland: A damaged thyroid gland is one more cause of hypothyroidism. A patient taking treatment for hyperthyroidism over a period of time is at risk of developing a damaged thyroid gland. Long-term usage of anti-thyroid medicine could suppress the thyroid glands to a point where it may cause hypothyroidism.
• Cancer Treatment: Cancer treatment requires radiation therapy to eradicate cancer cells. Nevertheless, in case the target site of treatment is in the neck region, then it may interfere with the thyroid gland, thereby leading to hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism Symptoms:
The initial signs of hypothyroidism are:
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Loss of appetite
• Muscle and joint pain
• Inability to withstand cold
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Reasonable increase in weight
Advanced Hypothyroidism symptoms are:
• Hair loss
• Weakness
• Sleepiness
• Weak memory
• Change in the voice
• Thinning eyebrows
• Puffiness of the face
• Lack of concentration
• Lack of sensation in arms and legs
If hypothyroidism is not provided timely treatment, it could worsen and might cause an enlargement of the thyroid gland, also known as goiter. It may even lead to more serious complications, such as myxedema.
Once it is diagnosed, the doctor will prescribe suitable medicine to treat this condition. Medications like Levothroid are amongst the drugs most commonly prescribed to help in overcoming a thyroid hormone deficiency. Levothroid is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone that is manufactured and released by the thyroid gland.
Levothroid has been approved to treat hypothyroidism and goiter growths. However, it is important that you utilize Generic Levothroid only when it has been prescribed by the healthcare professional.
These were a few causes, symptoms and treatments for hypothyroidism. Though this problem is extremely common amongst individuals, there are appropriate treatments, including treatment with Levothroid, available to help one overcome this condition.
Levothroid has been approved to treat hypothyroidism and goiter growths. However, it is important that you purchase Levothroid only when it has been prescribed by the healthcare professional.

Green Goddess Dressing Recipe
The flavors of this classic American dressing are very similar to those of tartar sauce and gribiche. Serve it with salad greens, steamed vegetables, sliced hard-cooked eggs, potatoes, or tomatoes, or chilled seafood.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons or gherkins
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 teaspoon capers, drained
- 1 small garlic clove, mashed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup mild-flavored vegetable oil
- Salt
- Cayenne pepper
- Combine the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, parsley, tarragon, capers, garlic, and vinegar in a blender or mini-food processor and process just until combined. While the machine is running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream, and process until the dressing thickens and is fairly smooth. Season with salt and cayenne. Will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

As part of the Centrica Group, they provide gas, electricity and home repair services to millions of customers in Scotland, Wales and England.
British Gas have more than 6 million customers of electricity and account for approximately 50% of the UK's domestic gas market. They employ more than 12,000 staff in their UK based call centres and over 8,000 highly trained CORGI registered engineers.

By 2020 British Gas expect to have invested more than £15bn to secure new power and gas supplies, on top of the £1.14bn they spent in 2008.
British Gas have built Europe's largest wind farm off the Lincolnshire coast. They are building the UK's first new gas-fired power station for more than 10 years. They use their profits to fund these investments, and recently asked their shareholders to invest more too, raising more than £2 billion for investment in the gas storage and nuclear power that the UK will need in the future.

A few notes from the final group of manager media sessions Wednesday... Pirates second baseman Neil Walker has started his strength and conditioning program two weeks ago, and has completed all of his therapy after his season ended with a herniated disc in his back. Manager Clint Hurdle said he's "ready to go." When asked about facing the prospect of a bullpen without Joel Hanrahan at some point, Hurdle did not identify specific candidates to step in as the Pirates' next closer. However, he did emphasize a preference for swing-and-miss guys in that role rather than a groundball pitcher. Just something to file away in case there's a point down the road where Hurdle chooses not to reveal a new closer. On James McDonald and his inconsistent season where he was excellent in the first half before major regression in the second half. "The conversation we've had and pretty much we both got to the same place with, is his focus going into the seas...

The only thing I wish I had kept were all the peace beads, because in the 1960s people made these and hung them at protests and it was a wonderful thing.
The thing of it is though that`s the only way people know you, they see you in that roll and they see you in person and they only know the perception of what you are.
I never found it frustrating not speaking.
But I had no idea that they were going to pull the plug so quickly.
I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.
I did a lot of personal appearances because I was under contract to ABC.
The movie wasn`t really derived from Dark Shadows - they developed a whole new script for that particular one.
We need to produce students with strong self-esteem, patience - all those things needed for the creative field, as well as any other field.
When I entered college, I wasn`t sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.
I think family is very important in West v*rginia and has long been so because the mountains made travel difficult in the past, and family members had to depend on each other.
We have to provide good teachers, good environment, community involvement with schools.
We knew that the show was in trouble, because it was expensive and that they wanted to do game shows instead, because they were much cheaper.
And it was so special, and to tell you the truth that`s how I feel about the whole thing, I mean when I meet someone that has watched the show, and it has brought such joy to them, it just makes you feel so good.
All I could think of was we were about to start filming for the last final weeks of the TV show and here I am in the hospital, so I missed the final weeks, and a couple days later, sore stomach and all I got on the horse we started filming.
That`s the reason support for the National Endowment of the Arts is so important. It enables those ventures that aren`t viable commercially to be done.
And I haven`t met too many actors along the way that haven`t told me how much the show has meant to them. It`s one of the reasons they say they are doing what they`re doing, today.
When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it`s in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it`s a special thing.
You know... the wonderful thing about Dark Shadows, the thing about going and looking back at it. It was so sucsessful at creating its own world.
One of the reasons I think Dark Shadows still runs is that it`s dependent on nothing else other than a story.
The movie, if I recall, didn`t have to do with the television show because there were concerns from everyone that they didn`t want it to be like the TV show.
Right right, because up to that point I had not been a viewer, and I didn`t know alot about the show, it was all new to me and the cast members were wonderful!
I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn`t a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through.

Combine water and yeast in a small bowl; set aside. Combine 2 cups flour, sugar and salt in large mixer bowl. Heat milk and butter until warm (100° to 110°F) - butter does not need to melt. Add milk mixture, yeast mixture and egg to dry ingredients. Beat 30 seconds on low speed to blend; beat an additional 2 minutes on medium speed.
Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. (Note: this rich dough rises slowly, and probably will not double).
Combine all caramel topping ingredients together. Grease two fluted tube pans OR two 9-inch round cake pans. Spread half the topping in the bottom of each pan.
Combine all cream filling ingredients and beat until well mixed; set aside. Punch dough down and divide into 20 equal pieces. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle, about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Place a scant tablespoon of cream filling in the center. Pinch edges of dough together and form into a ball; place in prepared pans, 10 rolls per pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool on rack for only 1 minute; invert onto serving platters.

Jul 11 2012: thanks for your reply. i have not noticed a similar topic was discussed on the web until you told me.
in light of my quick thought,one can turn something unsuccessful, such as poverty, into great personal success and contributions to the society as long as he could grow up from the obstacles and keep a courageous heart.
Jul 11 2012: Antonio, I though you meant unsuccessful in the sense of making a mistake. Poverty is often not your own mistake. For example, children born into poverty made no mistake that got them there.
In terms of what I now understand that you meant, history is full of cases of people who have overcome adversity to find interesting lives and to contribute to the happiness of others.
If you actually find yourself unsuccessful due to something you tried and failed to achieve, there are likely lessons to be learned that have value in knowledge but also value in helping you find a better path.

Brian Pekari, founder and director of Tracy United to Make a Difference, said the local event was an effort to get Tracy residents more involved in helping their neighbors.
"The whole concept of our Make a Difference Day is uniting our city — uniting people through volunteering, cooperation and communication and uplift the community," Pekari said.
Volunteers around the United States worked on Make a Difference Day projects on Saturday to improve people's lives.
A ribbon cutting at 10th and B streets opened the Tracy event as groups signed up volunteers to help with their projects.
June Yasemsky, a teacher at Hirsch Elementary School, ran two booths that offered free formal clothes and school supplies.
Hirsch students and parents collected dresses, suits and ties through a school clothing drive. The dress-up clothes were intended for children whose families could not afford formal outfits.
Yasemsky said her students had wanted to do something to help other local children.
"I think they see themselves as capable of making a change in the community," Yasemsky said. "I take pictures so they can see the faces of the kids they help."
She also organized a collection of surplus school supplies that were given away.
Carol Higgins, a children's tutor, stopped by the booth to pick up some math materials.
"This is awesome — if parents come through, it will be a big help," Higgins said. "It's a huge resource."
The donations were among several efforts that began in early October. Pekari said a variety of community projects started before Make a Difference Day and will continue through November, including holiday food and clothing drives.
More than a dozen schools and two dozen community organizations and nonprofits participated, amounting to more than 500 individual volunteers, Pekari said.
Some volunteers staffed a haunted house at West Valley Mall benefiting the United Way, and high school students collected donations for UNICEF and the Tracy Unified School District anti-bullying program.
Pekari said he hoped the volunteer spirit would continue.
"We're encouraging people through the month of November to get involved in the community," Pekari said.
Becki Brown, of Scoop Ministries Inc. and Hearts of Harvest Foundation, recruited volunteers Saturday to help make fleece blankets for families of children with heart disease. Each blanket is tucked into a bag of travel necessities that the families can take with them to the hospital.
"Anything they can do will help," Brown said. "We show people we care about them and touch their hearts."
Brown was taking part in Make a Difference Day for the first time after meeting Pekari at a Tracy Chamber of Commerce event.
"It brings awareness how giving our community is," she said.
Pekari said the volunteer efforts on Saturday were a success.
"It was icing on the cake, trying to encourage and influence more people to get involved," Pekari said. "Our goal when we got started was to bring all the pieces of the community together — school, businesses, churches and organizations — and that's what we have done."

Hopefully, our mountains will receive a few more substantial snowstorms this winter season. Otherwise we could face a dicey fire season this fall.
Luckily, as of yesterday, the Uintah mountains are sitting at a comfortable 95 percent of average snow pack. One year at near normal snow pack is not enough to pull us from the drought we've been mired in for the past few years - but that is a topic for another editorial.
When we are lucky enough to get that few-and-far-between snowstorm, the beauty is also a harbinger of bad news for our citizens who commute to work on the Wasatch Front.
Fortunately these brave citizens have had their knights in shiny armor come to their rescue...well, maybe not shiny armor. More like salt-encrusted road-battered bright orange paint.
Each and every one of us owe the men and women who drive snowplows a huge debt of gratitude. These dedicated individuals brave the worst Mother Nature can dish out on a daily, and nightly, basis so that our roads are safe for us to travel on.
Clearing our roads is not a job that many of us would want.
Most snowplow operators are up and working long before the rooster crows. Four in the morning is not unheard of.
They are also out late into the night laying salt down on the streets so we can make it home safely.
These dedicated individuals answer the call whenever the snow flies.
Unfortunately Mother Nature doesn't keep a very regular schedule when it comes to releasing snowstorms, so weekends and holidays are just another day to the snow plow drivers.
And while we citizens may grumble at having to shovel the berms of pushed snow from our driveways that these Orange Knights produce, it is a necessary evil to keeping our roads clear.
Thanks again to all snowplow drivers and their families. We appreciate all you do.
Drive safely everyone and Mother Nature... Bring on those storms! We desperately need the moisture.

Senator the Hon Don Farrell
Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water
Central Coast's Future Water Supplies Secured
Media release
31 August 2011
Central Coast residents will benefit from a secure supply of water following the completion of the Mardi-Mangrove Pipeline Link project, which links Wyong River and Ourimbah Creek to Mangrove Creek Dam.
At a ceremony celebrating the completion of construction today, Parliamentary Secretary for Urban Water, Senator Don Farrell, said the project is an important component of the long-term water supply strategy for the Central Coast.
"The Australian Government provided $80.3 million in funding to this project, which is the largest water infrastructure project undertaken on the Central Coast since the mid-1980s," he said.
"The pipeline will help to secure water supplies for the people of the Central Coast. It will ensure there is enough water for the growing population and reduce the frequency of use of water restrictions for demand management. The project will help to boost dam storage levels, speed up drought recovery, and protect the region against periods of below-average rainfall."
The pipeline enables storage levels in Mangrove Creek Dam to be boosted during periods of high rainfall, providing the capacity to manage Central Coast water supplies during extended periods of below-average rainfall. The project enables water to be extracted from Wyong River during highflow events, and transferred to the Mangrove Creek Dam for storage. This water will then be available to be returned back to Mardi Dam when required.
"This project required construction of a new river off-take from the lower Wyong River, two new water pumping stations, a new rising main to transfer water from the Wyong River pumping station to Mardi Dam, and a new 19km two-way pipeline linking Mardi Dam with Mangrove Creek Dam," Senator Farrell said.
Member for Robertson Deb O'Neill hailed the completion of the $120 million Mardi-Mangrove Pipeline Link as a major infrastructure milestone for the Central Coast.
"I'm very proud that the Gillard Labor Government has made this vital investment in the water security of our region.
"Without Federal Labor's commitment, the Pipeline Link would have remained nothing but a pipe dream.
"Today, thanks to Labor's investment on the Coast, we have taken a big step towards securing our long-term water supply."
The Mardi-Mangrove Pipeline Link project is funded through the Australian Government's Water for the Future - Water Smart Australia program.
Securing water supplies is one of four key priorities under the Water for the Future initiative. Other key priorities are: taking action on climate change; using water wisely; and supporting healthy rivers.
The Mardi-Mangrove Pipeline Link project is a key element of the long-term water supply strategy for the Central Coast WaterPlan 2050, with the Gosford City and Wyong Shire Councils contributing the remaining funds.
"I congratulate the Wyong and Gosford Shire Councils on the completion of this significant project that will also enhance environmental flows in the Wyong River during low and medium stream flows," Senator Farrell said.
"Securing safe and reliable water supplies for communities is a key priority for the Australian Government.
"The community will benefit from this project as it will help to boost dam storage levels and assist in securing the future drinking water supplies for the people of the Central Coast."
Mardi to Mangrove Pipeline Link Project
The key benefits of this project as outlined in WaterPlan 2050 are:
- harvesting more water for town uses from Wyong River and Ourimbah Creek during medium and high flows (temporarily stored in Mardi Dam before being pumped through to mangrove Creek Dam)
- increased storage levels in Mangrove Creek Dam by using excess water from Wyong River and Ourimbah Creek
- enhanced environmental flows in Wyong River during low and medium stream flows
- good integration with the current and future elements of the Central Coast water supply.
Construction works include:
- a new river off take capable of extracting up to 500ML/day from the lower Wyong River
- a new in-ground submersible pumping station to extract water
- a new rising main, about 2.1km long, supplementing two existing rising mains, to transfer water from the Wyong River Pumping Station to Mardi Dam
- a new inlet to Mardi Dam
- a new pumping station to pump water from Mardi Dam, through the Mardi-Mangrove Transfer Main and the existing Boomerang Creek Tunnel, to Mangrove Creek Dam at a nominal rate of 120ML/day
- a new pipeline, approximately 21 km long, linking Mardi Dam with the end of the existing Boomerang Creek Tunnel (which leads to Mangrove Creek Dam). It will permit flow in either direction according to operational needs.

"Look, goddamn it, I'm homosexual, and most of my friends are Jewish homosexuals, and some of my best friends are black homosexuals, and I am sick and tired of reading and hearing such goddamn demeaning, degrading bullshit about me and my friends." - Merle Miller.In 1970, two years after Stonewall, Joseph Epstein wrote a cover story for Harper's Magazine, Homo/hetero: The struggle for sexual identity, that came to chilling conclusions: "I would wish homosexuality off the face of this earth." His incendiary language prompted author/journalist/writer Merle Miller to come out of the closet in the New York Times Magazine, with an angry and poignant plea for dignity, understanding and respect: "What It Means to Be a Homosexual." 40 years later, that essay helped inspire the launch of the "It Gets Better" campaign.

Vegetable Still Life Oil Paintings by Jane Cruickshank
We loved Faith's look at Camera in the Cupboard, photography that looks like paintings. Which brings us to these paintings that we at first mistook for photographs.
British artist Jane Cruickshank's still life oil paintings feature vegetables that are some of the real beauties of this season: garnly turnips and deep, dark plums to name a couple. They are painted in such painstaking detail here that they are even more realistic than reality.

In Medal of Honor, powerful stories of those who have received our nation's highest military honor beg fundamental questions about the nature of the human spirit and what it means to have the courage of a hero. Produced and directed by Roger Sherman, the 90-minute film traces the history of the Medal of Honor from a profile of Sgt. Paul Smith, the first soldier to receive a Medal of Honor in the Iraq war, back to its creation during the Civil War. Among those profiled in the film are a Holocaust survivor who single-handedly defended a hill from an advancing enemy force in the Korean War, an injured Navy SEAL who saved the lives of two comrades by swimming for two hours to bring them to safety, and a Marine at Iwo Jima who alone silenced seven Japanese bunkers with a flamethrower to clear a path for his demoralized company.Medal of Honor reveals the story of how the medal was introduced during the Civil War to boost morale and to attract soldiers to re-enlist and not desert. In 1863, a soldier named William Harvey Carney dropped his rifle and picked up the stars and stripes when the flag bearer in his company was shot. He was wounded in the battle but never dropped the flag.
For his valor, Carney became the first African American to receive the Medal of Honor. To date, only 3,473 Medals of Honor have been awarded. Since Vietnam, just seven have been awarded, all posthumously - two for service in Somalia, one for service in Afghanistan and four for
Medal of Honor recipients interviewed in the film include John W. Finn (World War II), Walter D. Ehlers (World War II), Hershel "Woody" W. Williams (World War II), Hiroshi H. Miyamura (Korea), Ronald E. Rosser (Korea), George "Bud" Day (Vietnam), Bob Kerrey (Vietnam) and Mike E. Thornton (Vietnam). The film also profiles Sgt. Paul Smith, who received the medal posthumously for an action in Iraq. Smith's story is told by three soldiers who fought with him that day: Sgt. Michael C. Seaman, who fed ammunition to Smith until he was killed, and Sgt. Daniel Medrano and Sgt. Harry Delauter, who also fought in that action.

Lawmakers escaped the dog days of August in Washington by taking a vacation and returned the first week of September to face a multitude of concerns, though few involve aviation.
Sensitive Security Information
Air taxi operators are caught in a conundrum. Comments are due August 19 on the Transportation Security Administration's draft standard security program (TFSSP) for air-taxi aircraft with a mtow of 12,500 lb or more (not more than 12,500 lb, as defined by FAR Part 25). However, obtaining a copy of the proposed TFSSP is not easy or quick.
While the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and NBAA continue to work on a security protocol demonstration at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport–which could become a nationwide blueprint for airport and airspace access–the agency is taking further steps to implement the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP).
What began as a straightforward interim final rule on alien flight training has caused heartburn at some general aviation groups. But the Transportation Security Administration refused to delay the October 20 start date for the rules that address aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds or less.
Although the Transportation Security Administration's general aviation airport security guidelines working group was unable to reach a consensus on how to categorize public- and private-use GA airports for security purposes, last month it urged the TSA not to "isolate" general aviation with more stringent security procedures than those being adopted as "best practices" by other modes of transportation such as maritime, rail or highways.
The Transportation Security Administration plans soon to release changes to the voluntary general aviation security guidelines, and is looking at ways to "positively identify" pilots before and in flight. To find out more about what the TSA is doing, and how it views GA security in general, AIN spoke with Michal Morgan, the TSA's general manager for general aviation.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport directors are being assigned to 450 of the busiest U.S. airports used by the airlines. These officials are responsible for TSA employees at those airports as well as for airport security provisions. Business aviation and other general aviation associations are encouraging their members to develop
a rapport with their TSA airport directors, so as to increase their understanding of
A few days after last September 11 it became apparent that the FAA and even the Department of Transportation did not have much say in aviation security matters. Both FAA Administrator Jane Garvey and Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta admitted as much in congressional hearings one week later.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is in the process of contacting air taxi operators regulated by the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) to conduct security inspections. TSA principal security inspectors (PSIs) will hold interviews with aircraft operator security coordinators and review the procedures employed to check passengers.
The Transportation Security Administration's notice of public meeting and request for comments on "Aircraft Repair Station Security" (Docket No. TSA-2004-17131) garnered 20 comments by the March 29 deadline. Responses came from individual pilots, small and large maintenance facilities and special interest groups.

A fast food chain apologized Friday after an employee told a Tri-Cities family their service dog wasn't allowed in the building.The Canter family told News Channel 11 they went to the KFC on Broad Street in Elizabethton only to be turned away because they tried to enter the restaurant with their son's certified service dog.Grace is a Belgian Malinois trained to help Gage Canter, 9, when he has an epileptic seizure.Despite a vest and paperwork proving that Grace was no ordinary pet, Joey Canter said a KFC immediately told the family they couldn't enter the restaurant."I was definitely surprised because she met us at the door and said you can't bring that dog in," Joey Canter said. "I told her it was a service dog. It kind of made me upset. I didn't say what I wanted to say, and then we left."Canter said his wife called KFC Corporate office and then called News Channel 11.Around 4:30 p.m. Friday, we asked for an explanation.
About an hour later, KFC spokesman Rick Maynard emailed the following statement."Service animals are welcome in KFC restaurants, and our franchisee regrets this recent misunderstanding. They will be contacting the customers and inviting them to return to the restaurant with the service dog, so they can make it up to them."As of 11 p.m. Friday, the Canter family still had not heard from KFC, they said.
Here's the earlier report:
A Tri-Cities family contacted News Channel 11 saying they were denied service at the KFC restaurant in Elizabethton because they wanted to come into the restaurant with a service dog.The service animal is for one of the family members who suffers from a seizure disorder, a relative said.We were told the dog has a harness labeling it as a service animal, and the family told us they have appropriate paperwork.After contacting KFC, News Channel 11 got a response via email."Service animals are welcome in KFC restaurants, and our franchisee regrets this recent misunderstanding," said Rick Maynard, KFC Spokesman based in Louisville, KY. "They will be contacting the customers and inviting them to return to the restaurant with the service dog, so they can make it up to them."News Channel 11 will have a report tonight at 11 p.m..

Mapping/Forum to go on demo soon
12 July 2007 at 11:35am
FYI everyone, Hayden, Matt and Ofir are working on getting Ofir's Google Map demo going on demo.silverstripe.com, so there will be a little reshuffle of code on the forum and maps modules...
The maps module will also hit the dailybuilds shortly...
Re: Mapping/Forum to go on demo soon
13 July 2007 at 4:34pm Last edited: 13 July 2007 4:36pm
Ok hit a roadblock as I'm not happy with releasing the demo when
a) the login form doesn't look good
b) the flickr gallery $Content text is wrong
- Ofir you need to fix the css / only include the CSS on proper map pages, as per http://www.silverstripe.com/google-summer-of-code-forum/flat/2401
Commit this to maps/trunk SVN.
- Lakshan you need to fix your typography issue with Matt. I suggest just using Page.ss and appending your flickrgallery to $Content by doing. THis means you don't need to worry if Page.ss changes...
class ForumMemberMapPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
function Content() {
if(ClassInfo::exists('Forum')) {
$map = new GMap('ForumMembers', DataObject::get('MemberLocation'), new GMapPoint(33.750298 ,7.412841), 1);
return $this->Content.$map->displayForumMembers();
else {
return $this->Content.'You need the forum module installed to use this page type';

Sig : Made the changes as you suggested. Please check and see is it alright
BTW, Sorry for being late on this had few assignments and exams in the uni last week.
Re: Mapping/Forum to go on demo soon

That's cool. Two comments then we can release mashups0.11 and put it up at demo.silverstripe.com
a) We need padding around the images.
b) I removed mashups/templates/Layout/FlickrGallery.ss. Sorry I realise it probably wasn't clear but the idea behind appending to $Content meant you didn't need to have a Layout file, which for the current state of SilverStripe, means its easier for it to work with any random website in the world. For instance, if someone goes and plays significantly with mysite/Layout/Page.ss then you don't need to update the FlickrGallery.ss
c) I just want to confirm you've fixed the XML error that people raised a few days ago?
See attached image. Once you've fixed the CSS (ensure it works with SilverStripe 202b on IE6, IE7, Safari, FireFox)...

a) Added padding around images.
b) Idea was clear. FlickrGallery.ss is removed.
c) I tested with titles having " " and ' ' characters and no XML error was raised.
Re: Mapping/Forum to go on demo soon

Seems to work well. Matt, can you update
ReadMe, add a changelog to SVN.
a) fixed XML error
b) return gallery inside $Content
c) cosmetic improvements
re-tag this in SVN (0.11),
make .tar.gz
upload to silverstripe.com/assets/downloads/modules/
relink in the modules-download and google-summer-of-code-fruit-1-flickrgallery/ pages
Re: Mapping/Forum to go on demo soon
16 July 2007 at 10:37am
Ofir, so we just wait on you to fix up the stuff as mentioned above, and the forum, flickr, and maps stuff will be published to http://demo.silverstripe.com ...

Ursuline's Abram - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
VIDEO: Interview with Mary Abram
Ursuline three-sport athlete Mary Abram is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Mary scored 16 points in a basketball victory over Archmere last week.
Abram says her team gained experience while finishing 4th in the national bracket of the recent Diamond State Classic at St. Elizabeth.
"We just learned teamwork and that we've got to control the pace of the games because that's what we're known for. You got to win all four quarters."
Mary has signed to play lacrosse at Delaware next year after a career of volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse at Ursuline. What is her favorite sport?
"Basketball even though I'm playing lacrosse in college. I played basketball my whole life, and I just started playing lacrosse in high school. Lacrosse is basically just basketball with a stick with defense and everything, but I'm going to always love basketball because I played it."
Abram says she thinks being part of a sports team at Delaware will help her fit in at her new school.
"Playing a sport is just like being here (at Ursuline). It's really small, everyone's really close, so having a team and knowing I'm going to be a big school (will help)."
As for a major, Mary says she's interested in sports journalism. She says one of her inspirations is a popular television figure.
"Erin Andrews, obviously everyone loves her, it just looks like it's fun!"

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
Two cadet classes running simultaneously a KSP first
Date of Release: 10/02/05
(Frankfort, KY.) - FRANKFORT, Ky. - Members of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) 85th Cadet Class, an accelerated class, began their 11-week training at the KSP Academy in Frankfort today.
This class, the second one of its kind for KSP, is comprised of 24 law enforcement officers with at least three years of previous Kentucky law enforcement experience. The accelerated classes last 11 weeks, as opposed to the standard 22 weeks of training cadets normally undergo.
KSP Commissioner Mark L. Miller says the accelerated program is a boon to both seasoned officers and to the state. "Officers who come into our accelerated classes already bring a wealth of knowledge with them," said Miller. "This allows us to train them and get them on the road more quickly, providing more KSP law enforcement coverage to Kentucky's citizens."
The accelerated class will run concurrently with the final 11 weeks of Cadet Class #84, a standard class that began in July, which is a first for KSP. The two classes will graduate together on Dec. 20, 2005.
During their 11-weeks of training, KSP cadets learn the laws and statutes of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the history of the Kentucky State Police organization, as well as how to conduct accident and criminal investigations, drive pursuit vehicles and DUI enforcement and many other aspects of becoming a Kentucky State Police trooper.
The Kentucky State Police Accelerated Entry Program was created to expedite the selection, training and placement of individuals who already possess the skills, experience and certification meeting Kentucky's Peace Officer Professional Standards.
For more information about how to become a Kentucky State Police Trooper, contact the KSP Recruitment Branch at 502-695-6320 or visit the KSP web site at www.kentuckystatepolice.org.

First off, Kate Dailey at the BBC wrote a great article. When she first approached me, I was envisioning a segment to be aired right before Doctor Who (naturally), but it turns out this was for a print + radio segment. Still, it was a refreshing conversation and I'm grateful for the exposure it generated (plenty!)This is one of the best representations of our public plea for respect in the military community. She covered the upcoming atheist festival on Fort Bragg. We discussed the offensive … [Read more...]
BBC interviews Justin Griffith, foxhole atheist
FOXNews investigates the atheist festival, gets it twisted.
I know that Todd Starnes, and the religious right at Fox News have an agenda.Of course I know this ahead of time.I realize that journalists edit down their interviews, but should strive to do so in an ethical manner. Such 'ethical editing' is not what happened on Friday as Fox News 'reporter' Todd Starnes wrote his story about the festival. But I expected that. Fortunately, I recorded this interview, (thanks for transcribing, Kate!) - It can be read in its entirety at the bottom, but you s … [Read more...]

The Target breach of credit card numbers and other private information of as many as 110 million customers has just about everyone on edge. Already two people have been arrested in connection with the hacking of customer data that began last Black Friday, but we still have a long way to go in determining exactly how the breach happened.
Protecting yourself from such trouble isn't simple. First off, some sources say that more chains were hit. So simply not going back to Target to shop isn't a solution.
Here are my best ideas for protecting yourself from credit hackers:
