Strengths: Frame, brakes
Weaknesses: For $900 none
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: May 26, 2013
Strengths: this is a solid bike for riders of all skill level. comfortable geometry that allows hours of riding. brakes and drivetrain are very nice along with the fork
Weaknesses: the seat is not the most comfortable seat ive ever ridden. also i believe that there are too many gears. i rarely use more than nine of them and the extra gears just mean there is more to break.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: February 19, 2013
Strengths: - The Rockshox XC30 TK fork on the 2013 is awesome - very plush and adjustable.
- The Frame is very light and strong - Pretty much an XTC frame with slacker geometry (not as agressive, more relaxed). The matte paint job is nice too (makes scratching and dings from rocks less noticeable).
- The SRAM shifters are a bit harsh at times but do the job really well (X5 kit)
- The Drivetrain seems to work very well so far in winter conditions (they are basically filthy as hell at the moment because of Salt, Dirt, etc.)
- The Double Walled wheels are boss and very strong. No truing necessary yet either and I am a heavy rider.
- The geo of the bike along with the wide handlebars just feel right. If you are on the bigger side, you are going to love this bike.
- This goes without saying, but the 29er wheels really improve traction compared to my last 26er.
- Schwalbe Rapid Rob tires are really good compared to Kendas I have had. They are good cheap beginners tires.
- The Giant connect seat post and handlebars do the job well enough.
Weaknesses: - The pedals are pretty small on the bike, and I could see them not handling much rock bashing without being destroyed. I plan to upgrade them in the spring.
- The seat is really uncomfortable for what this bike is designed to do (i.e. ride for hours upon hours on end). Will be getting another more ergonomic seat this spring.
- 30 gear drivetrain just seems a little excessive. For me, 24 speed drivetrains do the job plenty well enough, since I only really use 16 of those really. This is more a matter of preference however.
- The fork i great for trail riding, single track, and some rough stuff if you tune it right, but is definitely too light duty if you are planning to do jumps, downhill bomb, or any of the more advanced stuff. You should upgrade this first if you really plan to push the bike is some serious ways.
Bottom Line:
So far I have ridden the bike in nothing but conditions that terrain grip is hard to come by, including muddy terrain, icy terrain, wet terrain, and terrain with a layer or two of snow. In all conditions that bike has held up very well, and I have managed to maintain stability very well. Shifting has been crisp although not as smooth as on my previous Shimano set up. There is however, excellent power delivery from the drivetrain - this is a bike where you can really hammer out a sprint and go blisteringly fast without worry that the bike will fall out from underneath you. Its not a bona fide racer, but with a few small upgrades (like the fork), it sure as hell could be.
Another thing to note is that I am a larger fellow (5'11 245 lbs), and this bikes components seem to work very well for me. Add the fact that I can be very rough on my bikes (or downright abusive if I am confident enough), and any vote of confidence from me will carry weight. Parts that tend to let me know pretty quickly they dont like me are the forks and wheel sets (which fly out of true or flex respectively). However, Giant bikes have held up well for me in the past, and this is the most expensive one I have owned, so I doubt I will have any problems.
All in all, if you want a race 29er stock, you may want to consider the XTC 2 29er for 300 more. But if you are a weekend warrior looking to shred up the trails for exercise, or you simply like riding your bike a lot like me (average 3-4 hours per day, 4 days a week), the Talon 29er 0 is all you will really need. For me, the value for money was enough to turn me off of purchasing the XTC 2 29er, and I was pretty dead set on that bike before researching this one. Besides, as you get better at riding, the frame of the Talon offers ample room for upgrades. It is the kind of bike that is past the recreation range so you will get far more durable components, but does not break your budget completely.
Giant did a great job on this one.

I would recommend this bike to beginners looking for a very reliable 29er. It is best used for XC, trail riding and general purpose riding (around parks). It can handle tougher challenges such as jumps, table-tops, drop-offs as well.
Date Reviewed: June 27, 2012
Strengths: There's decent components all across the board. The tires grip really well, especially in dusty terrain, shifting is crisp and clean, and if you get a right frame size, it is super responsive and always feels underneath you. It really reacts well to tight, crappy, rocky trails and it's climbing ability is superb.
Weaknesses: The shop I bought it from jerked me around. The front shock was shot and had to get it replaced, and the Avid Elixers screamed like a banshee and had them replaced with Tektro Draco liquids which are a serious step up in my opinion. So I bought it and had to wait three weeks to ride. I don't hold that against the bike! On the other hand, she is a bit heavy but once she is up to speed she's gone. Seat hurts too. I do feel the whole setup of the ride is a bit passive. It seats you up high but with the right frame it's all gravy.

Friday, April 26, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) presented 11 high school seniors from the Sixth District with the Congressional Certificate of Merit.
Hannah Zipoy, a senior from Kimball Area High School, was one of the students who received the award.
The 1-4 Kimball Cubs softballers arrived in Upsala Friday,
May 3, for a non-conference battle with the 3-1 Cardinals. Kimball got off to an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning. But they didn't stop there, as they added two in the second, and five more in the third. The Cardinals scored two runs in the fourth to cut the lead to 7. Kimball answered back with two runs in the fifth inning, and the Cubs never had less than a 9-run lead from that point on. Smashing out 4 doubles, the Cubs cruised to a 16-5 victory. Kimball's Alexis Rose is credited with the win. She pitched 7 innings, faced 35 batters, allowed 7 hits, had 9 strike outs, and walked 6 batters.
Osakis Country Club was the site of the Central Minnesota Conference golf meet Monday, May 6, where the young Kimball-Eden Valley-Watkins team again found themselves in the cellar. The very inexperienced squad is struggling early, but coach Jason Huschle is patient and understanding. "I've asked the kids to focus on getting better every time they get on the course, and so far every player has improved on their previous scores. We still have a long way to go but hopefully this continues, so we keep heading in the right direction." The competing teams included in the meet were Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa, Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted, Kimball-Eden Valley-Watkins, Maple Lake, Pierz, Rockford and Osakis.
Scoring summary: K-EV-W's senior Cole Stang, 55; sophomore Logan Schlueter, 55; senior Patrick Latcham, 51; sophomore Cameron Flaschenriem, 50; sophomore Skyler Schiefelbein, 55; eighth-grader Reese Jansen, 50. B-B-E's Carl Knutson shot 45, HL-W-W's Jacob Tintes shot 46, Maple Lake's Aiden Jude shot 44, Pierz's Dustin Herold shot 41, Rockford's Ty Griffin shot 42, Osakis's Paul Hartmann shot 41. Osakis's Paul Hartmann and Pierz's Dustin Herold shard Medalist honors with net scores each of 41. Rockford took first Place with a net 173; second Place, Osakis, 184 net; third Place tie, B-B-E and Pierz, 196; fifth Place, HL-W-W, 208 net, sixth Place, Maple Lake, 198; seventh Place, K-EV-W, 211 net.
Junior pitcher Mathias Hennen pitches the first game of the doubleheader v Holdingford. The Cubs would lose to the Huskersin the doubleheader Thursday, May 2, 0-6 and 4-5.
Each placing second in the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Lions 7-team invitational track meet Tuesday night, April 30, the Eden Valley-Watkins-Kimball boys' and girls' track teams are starting the new season on the right "feet". The athletes took to the great outdoors and the competition in Belgrade was exciting. Boys' coach Jason Mortenson is very pleased with the squad's improvement. "Our relays are starting to take shape and our individuals are pretty much in place. Right now we are working on our depth and trying to find strong second and third participants in events, to help our team score, as we head to our CMC meet in two weeks. Maple Lake is incredibly tough, but we are going to get as tough as we can to compete with them and see what happens." The relay teams consist of Austin Marx, DJ Stewart, Brandon Faber and Shadly Callahan in the 4x800; Tommy Lochen, Torey Rohloff, Cole Denn and Deshaun James in the 4x200; Alex Shoenwetter, Torey Rohloff, Cole Denn and John Salzl in the 4x100; and Shadley Callahan, Austin Marx, Torey Rohloff and Austin Pelkey in the 4x400.

Hi all! I was going through my closet and found my favorite pair of jeans from when I was in college 20 years ago. I guess I am a bit of a hoarder and just couldn't let go of them. They are in perfect condition and I guess they are "vintage" now. Ha! As I enter week 4 I decided to try them on and take a picture. In addition to all the other measurements I will take, I will try on the jeans again when I finish the challenge and take another picture. I couldn't get the waist fastening button even close to the hole it should go into so this will be an objective measure of the changes I make.
My best to you all.
Awesome progress tool! Keep us updated.

This article describes our experience porting XaoS, an interactive graphical exploration tool for fractals, to Native Client. Many of the porting problems we encountered are quite common, and the techniques described here should help with other similar porting efforts. Some of the background information provided here might also benefit those who are writing new Native Client applications.
Note: This document describes how we ported XaoS using tools on the Linux platform. The resulting code runs in the Google Chrome browser on all currently supported Native Client platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux).
Here is the XaoS tool in a nutshell:
- open-source; approximately 47,000 lines of C code
- math-intensive; requires high performance to allow responsive, real-time zooming of fractals
- does not have any additional mandatory dependencies—the tool even comes with its own GUI that needs little more than a bitmap to draw into
There are a number of complications that our port has to deal with:
- XaoS assumes it is driving user interaction—that is, it is explicitly asking for user input events. This "pull" model is contrary to the PPAPI model which is designed to push events into the application.
- Native Client currently does not support making PPAPI calls on any other thread besides the main one. This makes it slightly harder to accommodate screen updates.
- Native Client does not support the notion of the function main().
- Some changes to the underlying Autotools configuration files are necessary.
Here are a few caveats before we dive into the details of the port:
- XaoS supports the use of files for various purposes but also works without them. Hence we completely ignore the issue of reading and writing files in this port.
- We limit user interaction to mouse events. Adding keyboard support is straightforward but is omitted from this article.
- We cut some corners to keep the code changes small but do not introduce any busy waiting loops.
- XaoS does not interact with the HTML page it is embedded in—that is, there is no DOM tree manipulation or JavaScript invocation.
Basic (Autotools-related) configuration changes
Native Client defines its own platform which is advertised to Autotools by small changes to
config.sub. A similar
change will be necessary for almost all ports of Autotools-based applications and libraries. We also add a new user interface backend.
The corresponding directories and files are introduced in
configure.in and are discussed in detail below.
A number of special defines are added to
#ifdef __native_client__ #define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY 1 #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 #define MAIN_FUNCTION original_main #define NOASSEMBLY #endif
- Is a symbol that is always TRUE when compiling using the Native Client toolchain.
#define MAIN_FUNCTION original_main
- This allows us to hijack
main(), since the PPAPI model does not support the notion of a traditional
main()— more on this later.
#define NOASSEMBLY
- While Native Client supports assembly language as input, it does require extra work, so we ask configure not to use assembly language.
Running configure
To enable all the changes from the previous section, simply run the following:
The actual configure invocation looks like this:
export CC=<point to SDK compiler> ... export LIBS="-lppruntime -limc -lplatform -lpthread -lgio -lsrpc -lstdc++ -lm -u PPP_GetInterface \ -u PPP_ShutdownModule -u PPP_InitializeModule -u original_main" ./configure\ --with-png=no\ --host=nacl\ --with-x11-driver=no\ --with-sffe=no ppruntime
This command selects
nacl as the target configuration platform and also tells the linker to include certain libraries.
We need to specify
-lstdc++ because, although XaoS is a C program, the
ppruntime library (Pepper) is largely
written in C++.
We also make sure that certain symbols, specified via
-u, are linked into the final executable. The symbols starting with
PPP_ are entry points that must be present in all Native Client executables.
original_ main is the new symbol
main. Usually, the presence of
ppruntime will force those symbols to be linked in automatically, but
XaoS only lists libraries (not object files) on the command line for the final link. Combined with the renaming of
the linker gets confused without this workaround.
New UI backend using PPAPI
XaoS supports a variety of different user interface backends. It does so by abstracting away the essential functionality into a fixed set of functions. A backend must implement these functions and copy pointers to them to a well-known place.
The Native Client/PPAPI backend is implemented in the following files:
ppapi.c does all the heavy lifting, while
ui_nacl.c interfaces with XaoS.
ui_nacl.h exports the following four functions from
ppapi.c to be used by
/* Get screen width and height */ int GetWidth(); int GetHeight(); /* flush video buffer to screen */ void CopyImageDataToVideo(void* data); /* get next ppapi event to process, may block if wait == 1 */ int GetEvent(struct PP_InputEvent* event, int wait);
Discussion of ppapi.c
Like all PPAPI applications,
ppapi.c exports three mandatory functions:
PP_EXPORT int32_t PPP_InitializeModule()
- used to initialize the application. It receives an argument for importing APIs callable by the application.
PP_EXPORT void PPP_ShutdownModule()
- used to close the application.
PP_EXPORT const void* PPP_GetInterface()
- used to export APIs callable by the browser.
In our implementation,
PPP_InitializeModule() imports four API families:
PPB_Core, PPB_Instance, PPB_Instance, PPB_Graphics2D, which we will not discuss further. Details can be found in
the header files.
Note: The "B" in PPB stands for "browser" and indicates that these APIs are provided by the browser. Compare this with the PPP_xxx functions provided by the application, where "P" == "plugin" == application.
In our implementation,
PPP_GetInterface() exports the following functions, which the browser uses to drive the
- This function is called to instantiate an application. In theory, each application could have several instantiations, if it occurs
multiple times on one page. In practice, this will rarely work with legacy programs since all instances would share the same global
variables. For the XaoS port, we simply do not allow multiple instances. While this function is typically used to initialize an
application, we deviate from the model and delay initialization until
DidChangeView()is called.
- This function destroys an instance of the application.
- This function is called when the application becomes visible and/or the visible area changes in any way. We use this call to initialize the application, since this is where the window dimensions are first known. (As a simplification, we assert that this function is called only once, hence resizing is not supported.)
- This function is called when the application gains or loses focus.
- This function is called to push input events (keyboard, mouse, etc.) into the application.
- This function is not used in this application.
- This function is not used in this application.
Dealing with main()
As mentioned earlier, PPAPI does not support the traditional
main() function, and hence we have renamed the
main() function in XaoS to
original_main(). We spawn this function in its own thread very late in
DidChangeView() after we set up all other data structures, as follows:
static void* ThreadForRunningXaosMain(void* arg) { char* argv[] = { "xaos", 0}; original_main(1, argv); return 0; } ... DidChangeView() { ... pthread_create(&Global.tid, NULL, ThreadForRunningXaosMain, 0); ... }
Dealing with events
Since the event models used by PPAPI and XaoS are quite different, we use a simple queue to decouple them:
static struct { pthread_mutex_t mutex; pthread_cond_t condvar; int tail; int num; struct PP_InputEvent queue[kMaxEvents]; } EventQueue;
Events pushed into the application by PPAPI are handled as follows:
static PP_Bool HandleInputEvent(PP_Instance instance, const struct PP_InputEvent* event){ pthread_mutex_lock(&EventQueue.mutex); if (EventQueue.num >= kMaxEvents) { NaClLog(LOG_ERROR, "dropping events because of overflow\n"); } else { int head = (EventQueue.tail + EventQueue.num) % kMaxEvents; /* structure copy */ EventQueue.queue[head] = *event; ++EventQueue.num; if (EventQueue.num >= kMaxEvents) EventQueue.num -= kMaxEvents; pthread_cond_signal(&EventQueue.condvar); } pthread_mutex_unlock(&EventQueue.mutex); return PP_TRUE; }
Event consumption by XaoS is facilitated using the following helper:
int GetEvent(struct PP_InputEvent* event, int wait) { int result = 0; pthread_mutex_lock(&EventQueue.mutex); if (EventQueue.num == 0 && wait) { pthread_cond_wait(&EventQueue.condvar, &EventQueue.mutex); } if (EventQueue.num > 0) { result = 1; *event = EventQueue.queue[EventQueue.tail]; ++EventQueue.tail; if (EventQueue.tail >= kMaxEvents) EventQueue.tail -= kMaxEvents; --EventQueue.num; } pthread_mutex_unlock(&EventQueue.mutex); return result; }
Dealing with screen updates
Again, we have to work around some difference in the way PPAPI and XaoS see the world. Xaos wants to refresh the screen on its own terms at arbitrary times, while our current PPAPI implementation allows refreshs only when PPAPI has granted "control" to the application.
To solve this problem, we introduce a global screen buffer which, as far as XaoS is concerned, is the "screen." We blit this buffer periodically into the actual (PPAPI) screen.
static struct { pthread_mutex_t flush_mutex; int width, height; void* image_data; int dirty; PP_Resource image; PP_Resource device; } Video;
This simple helper is used by XaoS to update the screen:
void CopyImageDataToVideo(void* data) { pthread_mutex_lock(&Video.flush_mutex); Video.dirty = 1; memcpy(Video.image_data, data, Video.width * Video.height * BYTES_PER_PIXEL); /* do not let anybody write into video buffer while flush in progress*/ pthread_mutex_unlock(&Video.flush_mutex); }
The following functions implement the periodic refresh using PPAPI:
struct PP_CompletionCallback ScreenUpdateCallback = { ScreenUpdateCallbackFun, NULL }; static void ScheduleScreenRefresh() { Global.if_core->CallOnMainThread(kRefreshInterval, ScreenUpdateCallback, 0); } static void FlushCallbackFun(void* user_data, int32_t result) { /* it is now safe to use the video buffer */ Video.dirty = 0; pthread_mutex_unlock(&Video.flush_mutex); ScheduleScreenRefresh(); } struct PP_CompletionCallback FlushCallback = { FlushCallbackFun, NULL }; void ScreenUpdateCallbackFun(void* user_data, int32_t result) { if (!Video.dirty) { ScheduleScreenRefresh(); return; } pthread_mutex_lock(&Video.flush_mutex); struct PP_Point top_left = PP_MakePoint(0, 0); Global.if_graphics_2d->PaintImageData(Video.device, Video.image, &top_left, NULL); Global.if_graphics_2d->Flush(Video.device, FlushCallback); }
The Video struct is initialized and the initial refresh is scheduled by the code below which is called from DidChangeView() just before we spawn original_main:
static InitScreenRefresh(PP_Instance instance, const struct PP_Size* size) { NaClLog(LOG_INFO, "initialize screen refresh\n"); Video.width = size->width; Video.height = size->height; NaClLog(LOG_INFO, "create PPAPI graphics device\n"); Video.device = Global.if_graphics_2d->Create(instance, size, PP_FALSE); CHECK(Video.device != 0); NaClLog(LOG_INFO, "create PPAPI image"); CHECK(Global.if_instance->BindGraphics(Global.instance, Video.device)); Video.image = Global.if_image_data->Create( instance, PP_IMAGEDATAFORMAT_BGRA_PREMUL, size, PP_TRUE); CHECK(Video.image != 0); NaClLog(LOG_INFO, "map image into shared memory\n"); Video.image_data = (void*)Global.if_image_data->Map(Video.image); CHECK(Video.image_data != NULL); NaClLog(LOG_INFO, "map is %p\n", Video.image_data); /* assert some simplifying assumptions */ struct PP_ImageDataDesc desc; Global.if_image_data->Describe(Video.image, &desc); CHECK(desc.stride == size->width * BYTES_PER_PIXEL); pthread_mutex_init(&Video.flush_mutex, NULL); ScheduleScreenRefresh(); }
This port took about two days to complete, with most of the time spent debugging. Familiarity with the Autotools suite was very helpful, and we expect this to hold for many other ports as well.
We benefited greatly from a previous port to Native Client's older NPAPI-based plugin. The GUI abstraction layer in the original application also facilitated this port. In general, the closer your application is to a POSIX-like environment, the easier the Native Client porting process will be.
- Sample code (naclports)
- Open-source projects that have active Native Client support or porting efforts

Appendix A

Appendix D
1. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to state the principles that guide the preservation activities of the National Archives of Canada (NA) in fulfilling all aspects of its mandate. It gives direction to staff for carrying out their responsibilities regarding the preservation function and communicates to those outside the institution the principles which guide preservation in the NA.
2. Context
The fundamental purpose of the preservation activity, its nature and scope, and its relationship with other archival functions has evolved significantly since the previous Conservation Policy came into effect in 1987. Archival records themselves now include increasing numbers of technology-dependent records with special preservation challenges. The concept of both current and long-term accessibility as purposes for preservation, and the need to keep users informed of the effects that preservation actions may have on the meaning which archival records communicate, are ideas which need to be reflected. Further, certain legislative and other changes (e.g. management of government information) have altered the authorities for the policy. Consequently, this revised Preservation Policy has been developed in consultation with NA staff and the archival and preservation community.
3. Authorities
The authorities governing this policy are the National Archives of Canada Act, passed on December 19, 1986, which came into effect on June 11, 1987, the Copyright Act and the Access to Information Act. Article 4.(1) of the National Archives of Canada Act states:
« The objects and functions of the National Archives of Canada are to conserve private and public records of national significance and facilitate access thereto, to be the permanent repository of records of government institutions and of ministerial records, to facilitate the management of records of government institutions and of ministerial records, and to encourage archival activities and the archival community. »
Further relevant citations to specific articles in these Acts are provided in Appendix A.2
4. Definitions
The terms used in this document are specific to this policy and are defined in Appendix B.
5.1 The National Archivist of Canada approves the preservation policy on the advice of the Senior Management Committee.
5.2 The Director General, Preservation Branch, leads in the development and implementation of the preservation policy and reports to the National Archivist and/or the Senior Management Committee as appropriate.
5.3 The Assistant National Archivist, the Directors General of the other NA branches, the Director of the Portrait Gallery of Canada and the Director of the Strategic Management Office implement the policy as appropriate to their areas of responsibility and provide advice to the Director General, Preservation Branch, and through Senior Management Committee, to the National Archivist concerning the impact of the preservation policy on their areas of responsibility.
5.4 The staff and managers of all branches of the NA assist in implementing the preservation policy as appropriate to their roles and responsibilities.
6.1 Preservation is a fundamental responsibility through which the National Archives of Canada ensures the continuing availability and authenticity of the archival records that it holds in trust for present and future generations. The NA recognizes that preservation is a pervasive function that is integral to all archives activities from acquisition through to access; every staff member plays a part. The preservation function is also implicit in NA's responsibilities to facilitate the management of records of government institutions and ministerial records and to support the archival community.
6.2 The NA seeks to be a centre of excellence for archival preservation nationally and internationally including in the development of expertise, the implementation and dissemination of standards and techniques, and the promotion of the value of archival preservation in Canada and of Canadian expertise in the world.
6.3 All types of records, whether human-readable or technology-dependent, are to be valued based on their qualities and worth as archival records, rather than the nature or challenges of their media.
6.4 Further, all preservation actions (except donor or client copying) must seek to preserve the maximum number and quality of the attributes and their interrelationships for which the archival record was acquired. The physical impact of all preservation actions or changes, including copying, must be evident to users, and any impact on meaning must be conveyed to users.
6.5 A record, whether an archival record or a copy, always comprises both information and medium; these are interdependent in creating or affecting historical meaning through the perception of the user. The interdependence between medium and information is to be recognized equally for both archival records and copies in order to assist decisions regarding preservation and copying (e.g. in determining essential attributes of the archival or copy record or in selecting copying media for the long term).
6.6 Human-readable records are sufficiently distinct from technology-dependent records that separate principles or paradigms apply to the management of their preservation and the determination of their priorities (see Appendix D).

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
This is my first visit to this part of Japan and I am
enjoying every minute of it. Yesterday, we drove down from
Misawa through some beautiful countryside and impressive scenic
spots. Some places reminded me of my home state of .t-1ontana.
which is roughly the same size as Japan but sparsely populated
in comparison. I noticed a great many rice fields as we traveled
through Miyagi Prefecture, and I was told that the locally
grown rice is famous for its high quality and excellent taste.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the
Tohoku Japan-America Society-for having celebrated their 20th
anniversary this past March. I know that you have contributed
a great deal to increasing understanding between our two countries.
Our two countries over the past two decades have forged
a special bond of partnership and interdependence. I have been
deeply impressed by how closely our two nations are able to
work together despite wide gulfs in language, culture and history.
It is a tribute to the maturity of our relationship that we can
accomodate each other in spite of the occasional clash of
sectoral interests. I think it is important to bear in mind the
complete range and depth of our relations, even when our preoccupations
may be in one particular area.
. . foL
Un1ted States-Japan r.elat1ons are robust enough toAtested
by problems. We have recently faced such circumstances in the

economic field, just as in the not too distant past our defense
ties were a source of strain in the relationship. We have made
the necessary extra commitment to find solutions to those
economic problems and to move beyond them. It is unlikely that
we will ever be without problems in the economic field, but I
am confident we will be able to handle them-- it has yet .to
be proven that any problem is beyond our capacity to resolve
if we work together. We must continue to be true friends, at
all times understanding of each other's difficulties and
Miyagi Prefecture has a particularly long history of
interest in international commerce. In 1613, Date Masamune had
the foresight to send a personal envoy to Mexico, Rome and
Madrid in an effort to initiate trade across the Pacific Ocean.
Although Masamune 's dream did not come true during his lifetime,
trade between Sendai and the rest of the world has grown
steadily. I am sure that with the opening of the Sendai New
Port 1. n 1971 there "-:- b 12.'\1'- • • ~ e an 1ncreased pace of economlc develop-
ment and trade. I know of your interest in attracting new
investments, and that you are telling Americans about the
opportunities here ln Sendai for American investment. I will
encourage American companies to study carefully the advantages
of investing here. I believe there exist great opportunities
for American business here in northern Japan, and I hope that as the
economic and commercial center of the Tohoku region, Sendai
can play a special role in expanding our trade.
Sendai will be visited this October by the Shin Sakura Maru,
a floating department store stocked with American apparel , housewares
and sporting goods. The purpose of its visit here will be
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 1, Folder 40, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

to introduce to you the full range and quality of American
products offered at reasonable prices, The products on sale
aboard the ship will be available at very competitive prices
because many of these goods are being supplied directly by the
American manufacturer. We hope that this unique marketing
method will show the consumers of Japan ho'YT inexpensively
American products can be brought to them, We also hope that the
Japanese people will increase their demand for more access to
American consumer goods .
The Shin Sakura Maru project is an important initiative
being taken as part of a high priority of the United State - - to
increase exports to Japan. As such, it is a follow-up to last
fall's Export Development Missions, As you know, our trade
deficit with Japan has recently greatly improved . However, it
behooves us all to continue our efforts to reduce the imbalance
in trade. The problem is not one that will disappear through
benign neglect. I urge all of you in this room to help us make
it a success which will benefit ~he Japanese consumer and
will strengthen U. S.-Japan commercial ties.
Let me conclude by reemphasizing the fact that our friendship
is strong, and the web of mutual interests and common objectives
between us is broad. Together, the United States and Japan
will contribute even more significantly in the future than we
have in the past to peace and progress in the Pacific and
East Asia.

Once developed, a stormwater education and outreach program can be marketed though promotional giveaways. Promotional giveaways are small tokens bearing educational slogans and graphics, given free to the public to help raise awareness of environmental issues.
Promotional giveaways effectively promote stormwater organizations, simple actions, and general awareness. Appropriate promotional items include posters, calendars, Frisbees, magnets, key chains, tote bags, coffee mugs, bumper stickers, and baseball caps. When choosing giveaway items, it is important to consider not only the cost (T-shirts and hats are relatively expensive) but also the message it might send. For example, a Frisbee might conflict with a campaign to reduce plastic waste.
When designing promotional items, a professional printer can be consulted to determine if the design can be reproduced effectively, inexpensively and from different materials. Consideration should be given to what types of products to use. For example, mugs should be designed from strong, clear plastic that is dishwasher-safe. Packaging, mailing and distribution costs must be considered. Ask advertising-specialty companies if they give discounts for large orders. Finally, sufficient time should be allowed for design, production, painting, and distribution of promotional items. The design theme or logo should be included in all printed materials and accessory items.
The products should be publicized. A program can be developed to market
and distribute them. Promotional items can be distributed at watershed festivals, conferences, seminars, outdoor events,
schools and other venues. They can also accompany displays and act as rewards and incentives for
participation in stormwater pollution activities, such as storm drain
stenciling projects. The following are some promotional items that can be used:
Posters. Posters can be an excellent delivery vehicle, and they can be displayed for months or even years. Posters can effectively present text, photos, slogans and graphs. They are most often used to raise awareness ("Save the Bay") or deliver simple messages ("You Drink What You Dump"). Production and distribution costs can be costly, however. Mailing tubes and postage can cost as much as the poster itself. However, if the poster design is striking, a larger or more elaborate version can be sold, which will help cover production costs.
When designing a poster, focus on the objective, the target audience, and the message. Large, bold graphics (photos, artwork, etc.) will attract attention, but ensure that graphic elements immediately convey the poster's message. Color can greatly enhance a poster, but it can also increase production costs. A one or two-color poster is cheaper, and it can be just as attractive and just as effective. In general, use a catchy slogan or theme. A slogan, photo, or design contest is a good way to obtain original artwork. Using local artists to create graphics will give the poster local credibility, and it will help support the local arts community. The desired size should fit into a mailer tube. Posters folded and mailed in envelopes retain unsightly creases. It is best to use a standard poster size - it is cheaper to print and easier to frame.
Posters can be displayed in libraries, union halls, businesses, schools, recreation centers, community colleges and other public places. They should be displayed in protected and visible areas. If the program is planning a special watershed event, they can use a poster to promote it. Businesses can display them to encourage attendance. At the event, they can be given away as a prize or memento. See USEPA's stormwater poster [PDF - 743 KB - 2 pp] for an example poster.
Bumper Stickers. Bumper stickers are highly individualized traveling
billboards. Since Americans spend so much time on the road, bumper stickers
offer an excellent opportunity to publicize a message. A bumper sticker message
should be brief, positive, and focused on the objective (e.g. "Save Our
Lake"). Composition is easy--just combine a catchy message with a piece of art. Remember to use large, bold type and simple graphics. Check popular sizes before finalizing the design and
attach a mock-up to a bumper to ensure readability. Make sure the design can be
seen from a distance and the color is attractive without hindering readability.
T-Shirts and Caps. T-shirts and caps are popular, high visibility items that help spread the message. Simple patterns, such as a slogan or a logo that includes the watershed or region name, work best. Since dated materials are hard to sell after the fact, the design should be "timeless."
Most people prefer 100-percent cotton shirts over blends, and the most popular sizes are large and extra-large. Long-sleeve varieties are popular in cooler climates. To avoid overstocking, quantities of merchandise should be carefully estimated before ordering. Several suppliers should be contacted for quotes before choosing a manufacturer. Although they can be highly effective, T-shirts and caps can be relatively costly. Sales rarely cover the costs of production. Production options include contracting a print shop, silk screening, and stenciling.
Calendars. Calendars can be colorful, year-long reminders to protect
water quality and prevent pollution. The message on each page stays in front of
the target audience for a month at a time, and everyone uses them. Other
environmental or community messages can be integrated into the calendar for
wider audience appeal. If students are the target audience, a calendar
based on the school year might be preferable. Some groups tailor their
calendar and turn it into a log of watershed, lake, or
stream activities. People can keep track of the year's observable water events, ice-outs and
freeze-ups, flood events, waterfowl migrations and nestings, mammal sightings,
insect hatchings, and the like.
Color calendars can be expensive to produce, however. They are also time-sensitive and cannot be used in future years (except for decoration). It
is wise to plan for distribution to hit the market around November (when
everyone is shopping for next year's calendar).
Other Items. Any number of items can be customized with a stormwater
pollution logo and message, including magnets, frisbees, stickers, and bags. When choosing
which items to purchase, keep in mind the objectives to be accomplished. For
example, magnets can be excellent for conveying stormwater pollution hotlines.
They can be kept handy on the refrigerator near a kitchen phone, and they are
relatively inexpensive to manufacture. Key chains are also good for hotline numbers
or other brief messages. Prices naturally go down with quantity, but the supply
should be distributed within a reasonable amount of time. The EPA has the following resources available to download, reproduce, and distribute:
Most people will take anything that is free. The key to making promotion
items effective is to make them something people can use. For example,
key chains bearing a slogan can be used everyday. They are easily identifiable and
might be seen by others.
People appreciate promotional items, especially at voluntary activities. Not
only do freebies help promote an issue, but they also serve as a "thank you" to the volunteers. In addition, there is a lot of room for creativity and fun when making these items.
The limitations of promotional items are the costs and time associated with
making them. Also, there is no assurance that a free T-shirt will result in
another volunteer or supporter of stormwater issues.
The cost of promotional items will depend on what item is being produced and in what numbers. Generally, larger orders result in lower per-unit costs. However, it is unwise to buy more items than can be resold or even given away. The campaign's objectives, as well as the target audience, should be considered before ordering. Some costs for various outreach materials are
provided in Table 1, but these are only estimates. Individual vendors should be
contacted when preparing the budget.

Application for adoption | Helpful hints | Manual, forms | Event registration | Cleanup data report | Contact
It's up to each of us to keep Virginia's rivers, streams, lakes and bays clean. That's the idea behind DCR's Adopt-a-Stream Program (AAS). The waterway cleanups supported by this anti-litter campaign provide a chance for local businesses, civic groups, watershed associations, churches, schools, environmental concerns and scouts to work together or separately to do their part.
The statewide program aims to reduce litter while advancing citizen stewardship and understanding of the commonwealth's precious waterways. Adopt-a-Stream promotes education, public outreach, citizen involvement, partnership and community capacity-building through Virginia's diverse constituencies.
You need to get your hands a little dirty to truly learn about nature. Waterway cleanups provide that prospect. A few hours collecting litter from a local shoreline establishes a link between citizens, community waterways and their watersheds. You see firsthand how your cleanup work improves a waterway's quality and appearance. You feel good about your work, become a caretaker of a local waterway and assume a watershed-based stewardship ethic.
By signing up for DCR's voluntary, do-it-yourself Adopt-a-Stream program, your group agrees to at least one, preferably two, cleanups per year for at least two years. The minimum length of shoreline a group can adopt is one-quarter mile. A team of two typically covers a mile of lightly littered shoreline in an hour or two. Many groups opt for two cleanups a year, one in the spring and another in the fall. DCR helps by providing trash bags, gloves, safety vests, and instructional and promotional documents. DCR also gives each group custom signage featuring the adopted waterway and organization.
Helpful hints, getting started
To run your cleanup, you first need to read the Adopt-a-Stream manual (PDF). Also, please read about Adopt-a-Stream conditions (PDF).
Next, complete and send in the Application for Local Program Designation and Agreement. It's available in MS Word format and Portable Document Format (PDF).
Once you've picked a cleanup event date, complete and fill in the online event registration form or fill in and fax, scan or mail a hardcopy version of the form (PDF).
Next, make copies of the liability release forms (PDF) and sign-up sheets (PDF). You'll need these on the day of the cleanup.
At the cleanup, have all participants sign the liability release and fill in the sign-up sheet. And make sure your volunteers are familiar with the safety guidelines (PDF). Once completed, the forms must be sent to DCR within a week of the cleanup's completion.
After the cleanup, it's time to report the data. You may use this convenient online stream cleanup data form or fill in and fax, scan or email a out a hardcopy version of the form (PDF).

This looks long but this is as far as I know the easiest guide for windows out there (at the moment)
BASICALLY IT IS JUST 4 STEPS (for a new iphone 1.1.1): You can try other methods but you learn more about your iphone here.
1. Prepare TIFF exploit (just create a contact with 2 urls)
2. JAILBREAK (just run touchFree)
3. UNLOCK (just upload AnySIM and execute it)
4. ACTIVATE (just upload one file)
for youtube 1 more STEP (upload 3 files)
Ok. So after watching the ULTIMATE TUTORIAL for WINDOWS thread grow till its 85 page (849 posts).Filled with the same questions again and again.. questions that had been answered before but people as just too lazy to read or even search in the thread (YES, there is an option for that).
I have decided to rewrite vomer tutorial (there were some not so clear steps) and update it with new information gathered from the experiences of the people in that thread and my own experiences. It looks long but only because everything is detailed.
What we got now is a tutorial with LESS steps. If you can't succeed now… then wait till someone else make a just one click application that does it all.
Also some netiquette advice or I may close this thread:
2. Use the "Search in this thread" option.
3. Make sure the question is related to the subject of this thread. If not search for another thread or start a new one. There is also the internet out there (Google?)
4. Even if the thread gets to be 100 pages long. Hopefully it won't. Search. Then read the first 15 pages because chances are that the most common problems appear at the beguining. And then go and read the last 5 before you make a new post.
5. When you make a question give as much details as possible (like Operative System,…)
6. Use your brains a little. We all have one!
You need to be able to read. I mean it seriously!! (This is not youtube, this doesn't have pictures)
As someone said (and I agree): "If your only experience with computers is Word and Excel…"
Well, GET THE F.O…. Just kidding… but maybe you should wait for an easier solution.
I don't think this is hard if you pay attention.
You must have never ever unlocked your iphone before (I mean before AnySIM for 1.1.1 arrived).
You could have jailbreaked it … you can have a firmware previous to 1.1.1 .. You could have already updated to 1.1.1… but you must have never mesed up with your Baseband (the modem firmware).
[OK, for more information take a look at this Guideline for upgrading to 1.1.1 and have it unlocked.
[OK, I am not sure at all it this could work in other cases or revirginazed iphones. I guess it should for revirginazed if that means really a clean starting state. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I CAN'T HELP HERE] [EDIT: Here is a virginized iphone confirmed to work with this tutorial: http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showpost...&postcount=67]
You need Wi-fi for this method to work. FULL STOP.
You need a computer running windows. I used XP with Service Pack 2. No idea about VISTA but it should work (there are some tips for that).
And ,yes, you need an iPhone.
DOWNLOADS (you need to uncompress the compressed files of course, no zip/rar goes into the iphone):
*http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html (Includes: TouchFree 0.6 released, WinSCP, AnySIM 1.1, and more things you don't need)
*Microsof .NET Framework v3.0: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70848
*iTunes (7.4.3) !!Seems there is newer iTunes version!!I don't know if the method will work with that http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3239
*iPhone firmware 1.1.1 (if your iphone is not 1.1.1 already): [Some people are reporting that Apple may have patched this file to close the TIFF exploit.I doubt it but you can try to find the original 1.1.1 file from somewhere else] http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite....a_Restore.ipsw
[NEW TIP: It is really really recommended to completely uninstall previous iTunes (Including deleting folder C:\Documents and Settings\(UserName)\Application Data\Apple Computer\ if it is there after uninstallation, be careful if your iTunes library file is there!). At least check this: http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showpost...&postcount=60]
[If you already have a previous version of .NET Framework uninstall it too!!]
Install: iTunes, WinSCP, the .NET Framework v3.0 and TouchFree.
[ If problems installing .NET in Windows Vista read this: http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showpost...postcount=656]
LET'S GO! (It is much easier than what it looks)
0. Put the AT&T SIM card inside the iphone (recommended) or you can use any SIM card as long as it doesn't require a PIN code to use it, you can disable the PIN in your actual mobile phone
[EDIT: is being reported the following by luigidelgado: "DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AN AT&T SIM, THAT IS INCORRECT I DONT HAVE AT&T IN MY COUNTRY. PLACE WHATEVER SIM YOU USE FROM WHATEVER CARRIER, BUT DONT REMOVE DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS"]
1.1. Go to Emergency call and dial *3001#12345#*
1.2. On the Field Test page click versions. Firmware version should be 04.01.13_G (if not well, we are going to upgrade in Step 2, come back and check after that)
2. RESTORE YOUR IPHONE OR UPDATE TO 1.1.1: [EDIT: If you just opened a brand new iphone and you are sure it is 1.1.1 you can skip this part]
Use the DFU method:
Connect the iPhone to computer with USB cable. Probably iTunes will start. [You can switch off iTunes if you want to]
The iphone must be switched ON. Don't switch it off (don't do the slide power off)
Hold down the Power and Home buttons until you hear the disconnect tone (that is the two tone sequence indicating that a USB device has disconnected).
Then release the power button and continue holding the home button until you hear a quick pair of connect and disconnect tones, then release the home button. Then start iTunes (if it wasn't running) it will detect an Iphone that needs to be restored. click OK.
Then Press Shift key on the computer while you click on restore. It will show you a window to select the firmware.At this point, I would disconnect the computer from internet (take cable off or switch off WiFi) so avoiding itunes contacting apple and we make sure it is using the file in our computer.Select the 1.1.1 you downloaded before. Let it restore/upgrade.
3. PREPARING THE EXPLOIT (We are just going to create one contact with two URL addresses):
3.1 Slide to reach the emergency dial screen
3.2 enter *#307# and then press call
3.3 Delete the #*307# and then press 0. After that press the call button you are seeing and it will show you the answer/decline buttons.Click answer.
3.4 Press hold now and your phone will start ringing again
3.5 Press Dismiss.Will go into the contacts/dial screen
3.6 Press contacts from the bottom bar and add a contact
3.7 Add a contact with a random name and write in "Add newURL": prefs://1F [Thanks idutch for the idea!!]
3.8 Add a second URL for that contact.Add the address as : http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/ [Seems to be down: this is an alternative: http://jailbreak.kengz.com ]
3.9 Save it and click on the contact's FIRST homepage.This will take you straight into the setting menu of the iPhone, and you can take all the time to select a WIFI network!
3.10 Write down the IP address of the iPhone.
3.11 IMPORTANT: Once we are on setting menu lets set auto-lock on your phone as "never" (on your iphone: Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never)

TELLURIDE – The San Miguel County Commissioners last week approved a series of local licensing regulations for marijuana cultivation and retail sales in unincorporated areas of the county. The commissioners gave county planning director Mike Rozycki the go-ahead to start drafting land use code amendments, which would determine where approved marijuana operations would be allowed.
The regulations outlined in Wednesday's resolution largely focus on cultivation facilities because potential commercial growers are eyeing the cheaper, larger property available in unincorporated areas. But retail businesses that wish to sell retail marijuana will be required to obtain both state and San Miguel County licenses.
The approved resolution appointed the commissioners as the local licensing authority, but they can later appoint county planning director Mike Rozycki as the licensing authority.
The county will issue four categories of licenses: for manufacturing facilities, retail stores, cultivation facilities and testing facilities. While retail shops could open as early as Jan. 1, the commissioners agreed that retail marijuana shops should be allowed only where they are approved, which, at this point, is Telluride.
The county regulations stipulate that marijuana businesses must be located no less than 1,000 feet from schools, colleges, childcare facilities and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. "Eventually this distance requirement can come under a review process for requested variance, but for now, I'd like to play it safe," said Goodtimes, who introduced the idea of imposing a 1,000-foot proximity rule, saying that because the commissioners were creating the first rules for the county on marijuana commerce, he'd prefer to regulate marijuana the way alcohol is regulated.
While marijuana is still illegal under federal law, the commissioners voted to adopt eight priorities on marijuana enforcement outlined in an August 29 memorandum from the United States Department of Justice. The priorities include prohibiting sales to minors, sales involving illegal trade of other narcotics, sales being used to fund criminal enterprises, possession or cultivating on federal or public property, "drugged driving," and other public health consequences associated with marijuana use.
"This is kind of a no-brainer," commissioner Joan May told The Watch after Wednesday's meeting, adding, "we're all in favor of these priorities, because we'd pursue them ourselves without the DOJ's memorandum."
Similar to any prospective businesses looking to operate in the county, applicants that hope to sell retail marijuana must submit building, site and location plans for review by county officials. Applicants must also present documentation from the appropriate fire district that the structure adheres to fire codes and that the business has proof of insurance.
The sheriff's office will conduct a criminal background check, and each applicant must also present a detailed description of the security measures for the business, which will be reviewed by the sheriff's office.
Current medical and future retail marijuana cultivators must provide adequate proof of business ownership in San Miguel County.
"The thinking behind that is that if someone's going to grow medical or retail marijuana in San Miguel County, that they have some local presence and aren't just cultivating marijuana and shipping it elsewhere," said Rozycki.
The commissioners also voted to place a ban on outdoor cultivation of marijuana for commercial retail use. Goodtimes said he favored the temporary ban because of concerns regarding security and possible exposure to minors he's heard from his constituents.
Mike Grady and Nolan Murphy, co-owners of Alpine Wellness, a medical marijuana dispensary on Colorado Avenue in Telluride, said they support the resolution passed on Wednesday.
They added that medical marijuana cultivation operation is currently largely limited to the Industrial Park in Ilium, which is already approaching full capacity.
"Unlike alcohol, which people often compare with marijuana commerce, we grow the same products we sell, and right now, there is just not enough room in Ilium to meet the demand we forecast for retail sales," Grady said after Wednesday's meeting.
Grady and Nolan and other medical marijuana dispensary proprietors said during the meeting that they're looking at Wrights Mesa and other unincorporated areas for cultivation.
"We just need to expand; there's no point in having a shop if you can't supply it, and we're forecasting big demand come January based on interest from locals and visitors," Grady said.
"The idea of growing our own product for retail sale is to keep local dollars here, so we can use it to grow and so [the taxing bodies] can receive our revenues. We want to expand, and we anticipate bringing on 10-15 additional full-time employees on our staff," said Grady, adding that retail marijuana sales will greatly increase the size of his business in the coming years.
Wrights Mesa residents attended the Wednesday meeting and expressed their opposition to all marijuana commerce in Colorado. The Norwood Board of Trustees recently gave a unanimous vote to ban marijuana shops and cultivation operations within the town.
David Watson, a Norwood resident, said that marijuana is still illegal under federal law, and that the county and state government could potentially lose valuable federal dollars by legalizing its commerce, possession and use. Illustrating his point, he said, "We lowered one of our speed limits to 55 MPH because they threatened to take away federal funding."
May addressed Watson's concerns, saying that the Obama administration signaled that it would not counter Amendment 64 with federal law enforcement measures. "At this point I'm not concerned that the federal rules will override our state amendment," she said.
Goodtimes said that as an elected official, he is expected to respect the voter's overwhelming approval of Amendment 64.
"I do not represent the minority of voters, I represent the majority. And the majority said that recreational marijuana should be legal, and I will respect that view," he said, adding that as a county commissioner he will work to put in place regulations that will address the sensitivities of those opposed to marijuana commerce.

The Academic Placement Testing Program (APTP) is a cooperative program of Washington State public colleges and universities. Faculty from participating institutions have created the Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) to help students, with the assistance of their academic advisers, select first-year mathematics courses for which they are best prepared. The program is managed by the Office of Educational Assessment on behalf of participating institutions.
UW Bothell will offer and administer the test ONLY to admitted UW Bothell students. The On-Campus Math Placement Test offered throughout the year is a one-hour test. For the test session, allow approximately one and a half hours total to accommodate time for sign-in and instructions prior to the test. Pre-registration for the test is required.
On the day of the test, arrive at the testing center at your appointed time with your Receipt of Payment from the Cashier's office, picture identification, and at least two sharpened #2 pencils. You do not need to bring calculators or other aids. Scratch paper will be provided for you.
UW Bothell will offer two test types to enable accurate placement of students with varying levels of academic preparation. Specific placement cutoffs reflect the content and difficulty level of each course. Students will choose their test based on the course in which they wish to enroll and their level of academic preparation.
The cost of the test is $20 and should be prepaid at the UW Bothell Cashier prior to the test. You will need to show your receipt for proof of payment during sign-in at your testing session.
Parking between 0 to 3 hours costs $3.00. Parking over 3 hours costs $6.00. Per visit parking costs must be purchased in advance at pay stations located in each of the parking garages. Additional information and directions to campus can be found here.
It is highly recommended you complete your Math Placement Test before you attend orientation.

*Please note that UW Bothell offers ONLY the General and Advanced tests. For most accurate placement in a math class at UW Bothell, if you take the test off site, please be sure to take one of these two tests, NOT the Intermediate test.
Students who wish to take the Math Placement Test a second time may do so On-Campus after a minimum wait of two weeks. Students who wish to test a third time must wait a minimum of one year.
If you still have questions, please call 425-352-5311 or 425-352-3427 for further information.

Scaled scores are created by "standardizing" the distribution of raw scores for each test so that it has a particular mean and standard deviation. Scale scores correct for minor differences in test difficulty and variability as new test versions are developed, allowing colleges and universities to use the same placement and college readiness cut scores for different versions of the same test. Without scale scores, variations in test difficulty would require institutions to set different cut scores each time a test version is introduced.
