Owners don't want to sell flood prone Chapel Hill condos
Posted November 27, 2013
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Things aren't back to normal in Camelot Village condominiums following a June flood, but it's better.
Repairs are underway in many of the damaged units, including the one where Billy Hayes used to live.
"I lost everything but four bins – three of paper and one of clothes," he said.
Repairs still underway at flooded Chapel Hill complex
The loss of home and property worries Chapel Hill Deputy Fire Chief Robert Bosworth because it keeps happening at Camelot Village. The complex is located in what he calls a repetitive area, meaning it's flood prone.
"Owners and renters at Camelot will see high waters again," Bosworth warns.
That's why the state and the Town of Chapel Hill want to buy out the owners and possibly turn the complex into green space or a park.
"We sent letters to the owners. We gave them about two weeks and ended up with about 25 percent responding," Bosworth said.
The response from some of that small percentage was anything but positive.
"We have had some people contact us and say they are not interested in selling and not to contact them again," Bosworth said.
Hayes has an idea why many landlords don't want to get rid of their properties despite the headache a flood can cause.
"It's an investment," he said. "And they just don't want to lose out like that."
This isn't the first time the town tried to gain control of the property. In 2009, authorities had federal money to offer in the buyout, but they were unsuccessful. The town doesn't have eminent domain powers, so city leaders can't buy up the land without permission.
Bosworth says the town will keep trying.
"We will always try to help the people who want to help," he said.

East Mississippi Community College awards the Associate of Arts Degree to academic students who meet all requirements and complete 60 credit hours, which must include these core classes:
The average class size at EMCC is 20 students.
If you plan to transfer to a senior college, and do know what you want to major in, explore one of these University-related Programs for suggestions about courses:Humanities & Fine ArtsMath & Science Social Science & Business
Be aware, senior colleges and professional schools may have their own freshman and sophomore requirements which differ from these recommendations. Students planning transfer should consult the latest catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer or, better yet, speak with a counselor at the transfer institution of your choice.
General Education Core
English Composition I and II
MAT 1313 College Algebra (or higher) SPT 1113 Public Speaking I Laboratory Science Social/Behavioral Science Fine Arts Humanities
6 Semester Hours3 Semester Hours3 Semester Hours6-8 Semester Hours6 Semester Hours3 Semester Hours6 Semester Hours
33-35 Semester Hours
Beyond these required classes in the General Education Core, students working toward the Associate of Arts Degree may choose among any of EMCC's other course offerings to earn the credit hours necessary to graduate. EMCC suggests that students follow the plan below, a general curriculum that includes coursework in a number of areas – especially if you plan to transfer to a senior college, but are undecided on a major:
General Associate's Degree Plan
English Composition I
English Composition II Public Speaking I (SPT 1113)
Literature (1 Year Sequence *)
History (1 Year Sequence *)
Fine Arts (Music, Art, Theatre Appreciation or Music/Art History)
Social/Behavioral Sciences
Laboratory Sciences with Lab
Foreign Language (2 Year Sequence *) Mathematics (MAT 1313 or 1613)
General Electives
3 Semester Hours3 Semester Hours
3 Semester Hours
6 Semester Hours
12 Semester Hours
60 Semester Hours
* "Sequence" means that a student should be consistent in choosing the specific type of course. For example, a common History sequence is HIS 2213 American History I and HIS 2213 American History II.
Generally, one-half of the hours required for a Bachelor's Degree may be transferred from a community college and applied to that degree at a four-year college or university. The East Mississippi Community College district maintains a close working relationship with all Mississippi senior colleges to ensure that all academic courses, which are intended for transfer, will do so.
In this regard, EMCC is guided by the current Articulation Agreement between Mississippi's community colleges, through the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges, and Mississippi's senior colleges, through the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning. This Articulation Agreement covers transfer courses between the state's two-year and four-year schools.

The University of Minnesota will explore new partnerships with other organizations before it once again asks lawmakers for money to build a new Bell Museum.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed tens of millions of dollars in state funding to replace the aging natural history museum in each of the last two sessions.
U of M president Bob Bruininks said the school will consider partnerships with science organizations before asking lawmakers for funding again.
"Given the fact it was vetoed twice, I felt we need to take some time to reflect on an alternative way of bringing the building forward," Bruininks said.
Bruininks will ask lawmakers to fund other building projects at the U next year. He said he'll request $194 million during the 2010 session to pay for classroom and laboratory renovations, new science facilities at the school's Twin Cities campus, and an American Indian learning center for the U's Duluth campus.

Among the most powerful technical improvements in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the grafting of the left internal thoracic artery (ITA), instead of the saphenous vein (which doesn't stay open as long), to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). In fact, use of ITA grafting has become a marker of quality CABG surgery. Doctors have been reluctant to use this approach in CABG surgery for the elderly due to their elevated surgical risks and shorter life expectancy. However, a new study demonstrating improved survival of elderly patients with use of ITA grafting may prompt them to reconsider this option.
In the study, which was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS10403), T. Bruce Ferguson, Jr., M.D., of the LSU Health Sciences Center and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and colleagues used data from a national cardiac database of over 500,000 patients who underwent non-emergency CABG surgery between 1996 and 1999. They analyzed the use of and complications associated with ITA grafting. Only 77 percent of patients aged 75 to 84 years received an ITA graft compared with nearly 94 percent of those aged 55 or younger. Yet this elderly ITA group had 27 percent less risk of dying within 30 days than a matched elderly non-ITA group.
In addition, the elderly ITA group did not have significantly higher likelihood of reoperation, stroke, and renal failure. Deep sternal infections were higher among the ITA versus non-ITA group, but the incidence was small (0.66 vs. 0.52 percent). When patients were divided into five groups based on their preoperative risk scores, mortality rates for those receiving an ITA were lower than the rates for those not receiving an ITA in each of the five predicted risk groups. However, the acute survival benefits of an ITA graft appeared to diminish in those aged 85 years or older. The impact of ITA use on long-term mortality among the elderly remains unclear, according to Dr. Ferguson.
See "Internal thoracic artery grafting in the elderly patient undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: Room for process improvement?" by Dr. Ferguson, Laura P. Coombs, Ph.D., and Eric D. Peterson, M.D., M.P.H., in the May 2002 Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 123(5), pp. 869-880.

Running away with the cute drummer has probably crossed the mind of many teen girls. Karen Manos has lived that dream.
"He was really, really cute and funny. I guess I liked him because he appreciated me," says Karen, who was 19 and attending Iowa Central Community College. "After all these years, I still can't put my finger on it. I just knew."
Karen's boyfriend had just broken up with her that morning in March 1973, so she and a friend decided to see some live music at the Ramada Inn in Fort Dodge, Iowa. When the Brite Set musicians took a break, drummer Nick Forte moseyed over to their table. He thought Karen was so cute that he got her phone number. He'd be in town playing gigs for nearly two weeks, so he figured it would be nice to see her again.
It only took 15 hours of being together for Karen to make the most life-changing decision of her life. Nick's next gig was in Cleveland, and Karen told him she'd meet him there.
"I knew I had to go," she says. "My dad was pretty devastated. My friends were shocked. My dance teacher said he'd send me home after two weeks. I just knew I had to do it."
With flowers in hand, Nick was waiting for Karen at the Cleveland airport. He says he couldn't believe that Karen would do that for him. But at 27, he realized he was ready for a serious commitment.
"I wanted her to come but I was worried because I didn't know if she'd really do it. No one ever said they'd come and be with me," says Nick, a Chicago native. "I thought it would work out. I thought it was right, too."
Nick and Karen stuffed their belongings and his drums in his VW bug and traveled from gig to gig. While doubting band members hung out in the bar on their day off, Nick and Karen explored their surroundings.
"Nick and I always went out to discover. We were interested in the adventure. I think that's what fueled our relationship," says Karen.
Before Christmas, Nick asked Karen what she wanted. She told him a star sapphire ring, but then the band leader told her that Nick said there was no point getting her a sapphire if he was going to get her a diamond ring soon. So Karen changed her request to the diamond ring.
In early 1974, Nick signed on with another band and they moved to Dallas.
They were married in Iowa on May 18, 1974.
Back in Dallas, they didn't really know anyone, so they relied on each other, which only deepened their bond, she says.
Karen started teaching ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. And in 1980, daughter Jacqueline was born. For the second time since they had met, Nick brought her flowers.
"He's not Mr. Flowers or Mr. Candy or Mr. Wine," says Karen, now 60. "I think when you get older, you appreciate things that really count. If he says he's going to do something, he'll do it. He never catches me waiting and wondering."
Son Nicholas was born in 1983. Karen worked at UPS for a while. Meanwhile, Nick kept playing gigs and taught lessons.
"She's always been real supportive of me playing music," says Nick, 68. "She never tried to change who I was, and that's what I love about her."
In 1989, she finished her degree in literary studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. Karen taught English at R.L. Turner High School in Carrollton before retiring after 22 years. Nick finished his degree in interdisciplinary studies at UTD in 1998 and worked as a teacher's aide at Field Middle School in Farmers Branch for seven years. But his love for music never went away. Nick still plays, and their son is the drummer in his own band.
Nick and Karen are proud that they not only finished school but were able to pay for four college degrees, including their children's. While Jacqueline works as a dental hygienist, Nick and Karen take care of grandson Giovanni. And they don't mind helping one bit, especially since their own parents were too far away to help them.
"A 40-year marriage … has trials and tribulations, but it definitely is worth celebrating," she says. "We have watched so many people get divorced. Of all the guys in the band, none of them are with their original partners. I guess they finally realized we were going to work."

3A-2A-private schools roundup (Zero Week): Abilene Wylie drubs inexperienced Argyle; Madison wins ugly
ARGYLE — The last time the Argyle football team lost a game, it was for all the marbles as it took a 7-point loss in the Class 3A Division II state championship game.
A load of veterans graduated from that title contender, and Argyle's inexperience showed in Friday's season-opening 31-14 loss to West Texas power Abilene Wylie.
"We just have to get over that hurdle of inexperience," Argyle head coach Todd Rodgers said.
Argyle managed just five first downs while allowing 22 first downs to Wylie, all while playing with a new quarterback, Brandon Boyzuick, and missing two starting receivers in Chance Bode and Dalton Ledford, who are nursing injuries.
Argyle, the No. 6 team in the Associated Press Class 3A preseason poll, saw its top offensive playmaker, Ian Sadler, total three offensive touches for zero yards.
Frisco Lone Star 34, Fort Worth Castleberry 27

Lone Star's Michel Bordes scored on a 90-yard kick return to narrow the score to 27-20 and spark a three-touchdown run.

Madison 34, Sanger 19

Madison entered halftime with a 14-13 lead.
Madison controlled the tempo for most of the second half.

The treasurer needs physical access to the bank. Imho we don't must copy SPI here in every possible way. It seems, the eu user group is for promoting PostgreSQL in europe and for having an user group for people from europe where SPI is "just" for promoting free software. Yes, SPI is US based, but they don't focus on US only, or? For the eu group we have "europe" in the name, so let's focus (but not restrict) on that topic.

At least once every 2 years, the engine cooling system should be inspected, flushed, and refilled with fresh coolant. If the coolant is left in the system too long, it loses its ability to prevent rust and corrosion. If the coolant has been diluted with too much water, it won't protect against freezing.
The radiator cap should be examined for signs of age or deterioration. Fan belts should be inspected and, if necessary, adjusted to the proper tension (please refer to Belt Tension Adjustment in this section).
Hose clamps should be tightened, and soft or cracked hoses replaced. Damp spots, or accumulations of rust or dye near hoses, the water pump or other areas, indicate possible leakage. This must be corrected before filling the system with fresh coolant.Checking The Radiator Cap
While you are checking the coolant level, check the radiator cap for a worn or cracked gasket. If the cap doesn't seal properly, fluid will be lost in the form of steam and the engine will overheat. If necessary, replace the cap with a new one.Radiator Debris
See Figure 4
Periodically clean any debris (leaves, paper, insects, etc.) from the radiator fins. Pick the large pieces off by hand. The smaller pieces can be washed away with water pressure from a hose.
Carefully straighten any bent radiator fins with a pair of needle nose pliers. Be careful; the fins are very soft! Don't wiggle the fins back and forth too much. Straighten them once and try not to move them again.
Coolant found in late model trucks is normally a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water which can be used year round. Always use a good quality antifreeze with water pump lubricants, rust and other corrosion inhibitors, and acid neutralizers. Also available is another type of anitfreeze, Propylene Glycol, which is non-toxic. Keep in mind that should you decide to use a Propylene Glycol antifreeze, you should follow the antifreeze manufacturer's instructions closely. Do not mix Ethyene and Propylene Glycol together, as the benefits of the non-toxic Propylene Glycol would be lost. In the event you decide to change to Propylene Glycol, make sure to completely flush the cooling system of all Ethyene Glycol traces.
See Figures 5 and 6
The system should be completely drained and refilled at least every two years in order to remove accumulated rust, scale and other deposits.
See Figure 7
- Remove the radiator cap. Drain the existing coolant by opening the radiator draincock and engine draincock (if equipped, located on the water pump housing) or by disconnecting the bottom radiator hose at the radiator outlet.
Before opening the radiator draincock, spray it with some penetrating lubricant.
- Close the draincock or re-connect the lower hose and fill the system with water.
- Add a can of quality radiator flush.
- Idle the engine until the upper radiator hose gets hot.
- Drain the system again.
- Repeat this process until the drained water is clear and free of scale.
- Close all draincocks and connect all the hoses.
- If equipped with a coolant recovery system, flush the reservoir with water and leave empty.
- Determine the capacity of your cooling system (see the Capacities Chart). Add a 50/50 mix of quality antifreeze and water to provide the desired protection.
- Run the engine to operating temperature.
- Stop the engine and check the coolant level.
- Check the level of protection with an antifreeze tester, replace the cap and check for leaks.

Netgear router hangs and drops internet connection on Ubuntu (Resolved)
edit: seem to have fixed it by eraesing all my settings with a hard reset. Ah well. Guess it was the router. IF a mod would care to delete this? Thank you everyone who took the time to read this.
I have a Netgear MR814 v3 router and it works when I use it under windows. It's stable and it stays up all the time. However, when I try using it on my linux (ubuntu) computer it hangs and drops the internet a few minutes after it's connected. To get it working I have to unplug it and plug it back in. It used to work fine but something (maybe an os upgrade, maybe hardware failure?) has caused this problem. I need to get it working as there are other computers connected wirelessly throughout my house that need to get the signal.
There are clues indicating it's a hardware problem and clues indicating it's a software problem. The firmware as far as I can tell is up to date.
Thank you very much
thank you for marking your post resolved. I would bet it won't be deleted, but may serve to help other with the same problem, even though the solution may have seemed to simple and self-explanitory to you.

A few months ago we featured one of commercial photographer Michael Herb's tutorials on masking and composting. Michael is back with an awesome behind the scenes video of a national ad campaign he shot for Textile Designer Patty Madden. Michael set out to create some creative photos to showcase the unique advertising that hasn't really been seen before in a nation ad campaign for furniture.
I recently sat down with the commercial photographer to get his take on this refreshing ad campaign.
"Textile Designer Patty Madden came to me with an idea to create a layered campaign with stark contrast between the soft curves of a beautiful model, intricate tattoos and Patty's textile designs on interesting furniture. This of course was about as far from what the industry is used to as you could get. Designs are typically displayed rolled and simply photographed. Patty wanted nothing like that. The idea for the shoot was also to create a series of full page magazine ads for national publications.
The whole project was an amazing experience. Not only did I get to create seven ads for National publication I also had the privilege of working with a team of talented people including Patty Madden, Lea Jung (model) and Danielle Helms makeup.
The majority of my shoots are shot with the post processing in mind. Which means I shoot with a clear concept of the final image in my head. I joke to people that I can photoshop in my head and its actually true. I can break down layers in my head and lay out images so that I can capture the elements needed. I often pause during shoots and space out. This is me going into my head and sorting through the layers and checking things off.
When working with a team I take that mental image and sketch it up so everyone can see. This makes thing so much easier when shooting, similar to storyboards. The foreground shots were shot in my clients large garage in South Florida. We opted to shoot this way so we could utilize her large home, kitchen, bathrooms and not be under any time restraint. We thought about using a studio and although, it would have worked, it wouldn't have been as comfortable.
I opted to utilize the budget on other aspects of the shoot, like backgrounds. The images utilized selective color to draw the viewers eye first to the product then to the image as a whole. We loved the look of the images in full color but tests showed that the viewer was first drawn to the model then the image as a whole and they never really saw the product as the focal point. Advertising shoots often require that creativity take a backseat to the product. After all, the whole point is to show the product and that is what you're being paid for. However, we stressed the creative aspect in this campaign and walked a very thin line between too much creativity. I think we found a good balance.
In the end we accomplished the goal and made people stop and stare. Regardless of whether they liked the ad or not, it was different enough to get them to stop and notice. It sticks in their mind and we win!
These images along with ads I created for another campaign can be found in current issues of Interior Design Magazine.

Selective color editing FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These seem to fall short of "Commercial" qaulity. I dislike trolls just as much as the next so I apologize if I appear as one but in my opinion these photos aren't professional looking.
On one side of agree as I've gotten much better since 2011 when these were shot. Although, on the other side I think you have to look at what else is out there. These ads are still rated the highest among reader polls conducted by Interior Design Magazine. Because they are the best ever? No, of course not. They work because they stop people and those people remember the ads. Good or bad I always enjoy reading comments.
I must confess that I commented before actually watching the video. It appears that you did just as the client asked therefore you did your job superbly. I also was unaware that they were done in 2011 as it doesn't mention that in the article. I learned alot from your masking video so when I first saw the images of course my brain subconciously compared these results to the guy I remembered from that video. Thank you for your calm response, I guess at the end of the day we are hired professionals to provide services within the expectations of the client and it appears you did that. Even if they don't tickle my fancy.
Ya, 3 years makes a world of difference. I appreciate you watching the video and replying to your original comment. I only wish I had a full crew following me around like I did this day. I'd really create some fun videos.
I'm not too familiar with compositing and was wondering what is the purpose of measuring the distance between the camera and the foreground objects. I saw it a few times during the clip.
that way you can make sure other images you take have the same relative size as other images you took prior as well as the same perspective and horizon line.
Any particular reason for the dots on the background?
Dots were an experiment for post production compositing. I can measure the tilt angle of the horizon and match it up with my tripod. It worked to a degree but it was easier in the long run to just measure angles, camera height, and distance with a tape measure and reproduce those measurements when shooting other elements.
That was going to be my next question on how did you go about measuring for the background plate(images) when you go to a specific location.
Is there any chance you could write a blog post on this. It's something that fascinates me and I'm sure others would find it helpful.
I was browsing through your 365/52 project, fascinating and I can't believe you had the energy to do this.
Yeah, I would love to understand the measuring and aligning stuff. Maybe a blog post on shooting for compositing?
Impressive work. Although, I am more impressed with a "fashion" shoot that uses a woman who is real, and does not look like it would literally kill her to smile. The tattoos help too.
Nice work Michael. I'm a fan of composite images, and having done a few, I know how complex they can be. I like the choice of Leah Jung as the model. She rocks.
I'm not sure I would call sexually objectifying women for the purpose of selling textiles "refreshing".

Roundup: Henry Vetoes Data Act, Crist Still Just Sitting There
Oklahoma's governor vetoes an abortion restriction, Florida's governor is still waiting for something, and a judge in Nebraska may be acting on his own set of beliefs.
On Saturday, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry vetoed the Statistical Reporting of Abortions Act, a 30-plus question survey that was created to be filled out by every woman in the state seeking an abortion. The act, which was previously struck down by the state supreme court due to a violation of the single issue law statute, has drawn criticism from many for being both too invasive, making it possible to identify the women seeking abortions, and for the extreme cost with which the reporting system would then burden state to enact.
In his decision to veto the act, Gov. Henry referred to it as "flawed," according to Tulsa World.
Henry said he supported reasonable abortion restrictions but that House Bill 3284 had several flaws, including the lack of an exemption for rape and incest victims.
"By forcing rape and incest victims to submit to a personally invasive questionnaire and posting the answers on a state website, this legislation will only increase the trauma of an already traumatic event," Henry said. "Victims of such horrific acts should be treated with dignity and respect in such situations, as should all people."
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
Henry also took time in his statement to point out that the reporting act is most likely unconstitutional, and that to defend it would cost the state too much money.
The governor said House Bill 3284, which is similar to an earlier measure that was ruled unconstitutional by the courts, had numerous flaws and would ultimately result in another expensive and possibly futile legal battle for the state.
Henry said the latest version is also unconstitutional.
"Requiring patients to publicly reveal highly intimate and personal details of their lives to obtain a medical procedure protected by this nation's highest court constitutes an unconstitutional invasion of privacy and barrier to legal medical treatment," Henry said.
Although many of Henry's vetoed abortion bills have then been overridden by the legislature, there may be a possibility that this one will not be, NewsOK reports.
The author of an abortion reporting bill nixed by the governor said Saturday she will talk with leaders in the House of Representatives about seeking a veto override this week, the last week of this year's legislative session.
It will require a two-thirds vote of members in each chamber to override the governor's veto. A veto override will require 68 votes in the House and 32 votes in the Senate.
HB 3284 would have required the Health Department to have the reporting forms available on its website by April 2012 and to notify physicians in the state about the requirements to report abortion-related information. The measure also would have required the Health Department to publish annual abortion reports on its website.
The House of Representatives passed the measure 88-8. The Senate passed it 32-11.
But with legislative leaders hustling to get bills that are vital to completing a $6.7 billion budget for the 2011 fiscal year by Friday's deadline, it may be determined there's not enough time or it may be too distracting to attempt a veto override, Rep. Pam Peterson said.
"I'll confer with leadership on this and see what he wants to do in these last days of session," said Peterson, R-Tulsa. "I think we have the votes in the House to override it."
Because the bill didn't require reporting measures to start until 2012 and the first report wasn't to be available until 2013, it may be simpler just to file a similar bill next session, she said.
Meanwhile, in Florida, the waiting continues on whether or not Governor Charlie Crist is going to veto the mandatory ultrasound law passed by the legislature at the end of the previous session. According to the Palm Beach Post News, email actions are getting a little, um…tense.
Not since the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case has Florida found itself so tangled in the politics of emotion.
Even the language is apocalyptic.
"Pray, pray, pray. Pray that the Governor will be a man of his word (and) take action now that is truly pro-life by signing and not vetoing this bill," reads a "critical alert" e-mail sent to the anti-abortion Florida Family Policy Council's 50,000-name mailing list.
And letters to the editors are getting just as pushy.
Get a mortgage or car loan and you are required to sign a truth-in-lending statement. Make an investment and you are inundated with required information. So why is this bill considered an imposition for such a life-impacting event as an abortion?
I have seen the tears of a woman even long after an abortion. If this law prevents the lifelong regret and/or depression of even a handful of women, it will be worth it.
People will disagree on whether a fetus represents human life. I'm of the opinion that recent science confirms the traditional religious view that it does.
Let mothers see the scan, Mr. Governor.
Yet ironically, one of the people who is now saying the bill should be vetoed is one of the only two female legislators to vote for it in the first place. And, she's running for governor. From TampaBay.com:
As a state senator, Paula Dockery was one of two women to vote for a bill requiring women seeking abortions in the first trimester to get ultrasound exams.
But as a candidate for governor, Dockery told a St. Petersburg crowd Friday, she would veto the very same bill.
"If I was governor, would I sign the bill? No," said Dockery, a Republican from Lakeland.
With her campaign for governor languishing, according to polls like the new St. Petersburg Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9 one showing her at 3 percent, Dockery tried to balance her anti-abortion roots with her image as a maverick in a meeting with the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club.
Dockery said she voted against a similar ultrasound requirement in the 2009 legislative session, and voted against adding the language to a larger health care bill in 2010.
But once it was inserted, she voted for the overall bill — which Gov. Charlie Crist has since threatened to veto. The bill passed the Senate 23-16, meaning Dockery's vote wasn't crucial to the outcome. "I am pro-life woman," Dockery said. "But I really hate the idea of government mandating an unnecessary medical procedure."
Mini Roundup: A seventeen year-old Nebraskan can finally receive an abortion without notifying her mother, thanks to a ruling from the Nebraska Supreme Court. The girl, who has lived on her own for 2 years, is emancipated, in college, working two jobs, and already has an infant, had to seek the help of the Supreme Court because a previous judge ruled "the girl was not mature and an abortion without parental notification was not in her best interests."

Last week, I took my Canon 5D M2 with my wife's Canon 50mm f1.4 lens to a work celebration function – I forgot how much I love using a 50mm! The lack of zoom and prime functionality makes you think a little bit more about your photography, especially composition. After the posting the photos online, I had a couple of queries about the lens and camera that I used. As a result, one of my work colleagues purchased a 50mm.
Below is a great and entertaining video by my friends at @digitalrev.
In this video Kai gives 5 reasons why you need to get a 50mm – I agree with all his points:

CONCORD, N.C. — Racing for 600 miles will require patience Sunday for the drivers in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
It's not a matter of controlling road rage. Instead, drivers have to control their emotions about how their cars handle on the track.
While drivers and teams control the changes to the cars themselves, they are at the mercy of how the 1.5-mile track changes throughout the Coca-Cola 600.
The race is scheduled to go green at 6:19 p.m. Eastern. Sundown is set for 8:27 p.m., meaning a cooler track temperature for the second half of the race.
MORE: 600 lineup | Junior's outlook | Danica not missing Indy | Military tribute | Indy 500 lineup
The track temperature could change 20 degrees or more during the 400-lap race, creating a difference in tire grip and how the car handles.
"It's always a challenge to get your car good enough in the beginning of the race to stay on the lead lap and to stay in a decent position up front somewhere and still have your car where it needs to be at the end of the race to try to challenge for a win when the track is dark," said Matt Kenseth, who leads the Sprint Cup Series with three victories this year.
That sounds easy. Drivers need to have the cars set up so they're good late in the race rather than early. But in reality, it's tough to stay that patient while also not losing a lap and possibly never getting it back.
For Kasey Kahne, who has won the 600 three times, that sort of challenge is fun.
"The big thing here is having a car that's capable of making changes throughout the race and making sure that those last 100 laps you're getting yourself in position and you have the car where you want it by then," said Kahne, who was fastest in practice on Saturday. "I actually really enjoy the 600, having a lot of time to work on it and trying to figure out where you're at and where you need to be and just kind of going through the steps.
"This is a lot of fun for me this weekend. "
It's not fun, though, if a driver loses a lap or two early and never gets the free pass because of typical long green-flag runs.
"The competition has gotten so tight you can't afford to give up too much," said four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon, who also has won the 600 three times. "You used to be able to pace yourself; you can't do that anymore.
"You've got to have the car adjustable like you've always had to have it when the race starts. If it's warm during the day, the track is going to be slick and the balance is going to be different. The pace is going to pick up as the sun goes down. You've got to be able to be to be ready for those changes and that speed to pick up as well."
The driver plays a key role in all of that.
"He's got to change, he's got to adapt, he's got to give information, he's got to be thinking about what he needs to beat the competition," said former Cup crew chief and team owner Ray Evernham, who won the 600 with Gordon. "It's harder to adjust now than it's ever been.
"Throughout the race, you pretty much ignore the first couple hundred miles. You make your bigger foundation changes off of known history."
Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis have been able to figure out those adjustments better than most. That's how they've won this race three times with two different teams.
For Kahne, it's like a chess match trying to figure out the next move.
"I just try to picture what's going to happen later and how the track changes to night," Kahne said. "When it's still sunny out during the day, you want to lead laps, you want to be up front, you want to have track position.
"But it's not as big of a deal as making sure you are (doing those things) once the sun goes down."
That's what drivers try to remember — get through the first half of the race without falling too far behind and then race during the second half.
"You can't win the race at mile marker 300, but you can sure as heck lose it in those segments — whether that's blowing through your pit stop and having a loose wheel, or any of those things," Keselowski said. "So you can't win it in those segments, but you can definitely lose it — missing a shift, blowing a tire — anything like that.
"At some point you have to put yourself into that protection mode of, 'Hey, I need to just get through this segment of the race and not lose it right here,' which isn't all that much fun for me personally."
The drivers all have experience with that, although this is the first 600-mile race with the new Gen-6 car.
"There's been times here when we started off just awful during the day and had a hard time hanging on the lead lap and been really good at the end, and there's been times we've done it the other way around," Kenseth said.
"It's just hard to find that balance to be reasonable enough in the beginning to be competitive and have a car that can have a shot at the win at the end."

Richard Davis: Today's immigrants resemble earlier pioneers
LDS Liberal Farmington, UTJuly 27, 2013 2:12 p.m.
'Richard Davis: Today's immigrants resemble earlier pioneers'
They were mostly extremely poor,
poorly educated,
New to America,
didn't speak English,
practiced unorthodox marriages,
lived Socialistic,
extremely supportive of education,
had universal healthcare and extensive welfare programs,
pushed for equal rights for everyone [including blacks and women],
and even financed immigration.
IMHO - Today's Mormon Republicans couldn't be more different.

Richard Davis, the head of the Democratic party in Utah? I think that should be in his by line.

Re: "Like the early residents, perhaps we should welcome them rather than just complain about their legal status."
The Prof is, of course, attempting to invoke that well-worn, liberal, victimization-industry trick of invoking our ancestor's actions as a basis for modern guilt. And, like many, many liberals before him, he suggests we should channel that underserved guilt into winking at modern lawbreaking, destroying the Rule of Law in America.
The better, more honest inferences to be drawn from Utah's earlier uncontrolled immigration, however, center about the effect on pre-existing peoples, cultures, and civilization.
Early Native Americans simply did NOT fare well, when confronted by uncontrolled immigration. Their cultures were diluted and destroyed. The were nearly wiped out, as a people. And their destiny was placed in the hands of strangers.
That's the real legacy the callow Prof and his buddies in the mindless liberal, open-borders crowd would guilt us into embracing.

cjb, Mexico was not in control of the land when the pioneers came. We were still at war with them in Mexico and New Mexico. Unless we declare the 11 million here as invaders and fight them with our military, there is no similarity.
Irony Guy, I will forever be stunned at the animosity shown toward Americans who have lost jobs, had id theft, social security fraud, etc. by those here illegally and our dishonest businessmen. Americans are not against immigration, we allow more people legally now, than any other time in history. We are against those who show animosity towards this country and it's people.
DougB, Comparing laws two hundred years apart? (founding fathers). Our laws are not being enforced, it's not the laws, but enforcement is broken.
atl134, they pay no back taxes under s744. Once they apply for residency they start paying taxes, and are responsible from then on. The fines they pay go into a trust fund that is paid back to them in help for applying for citizenship. Other measures? Legal immigrants go through much more, it's a ruse.

"because it seems to focus on giving all of them a free pass or giving none of them anything"
A 13 year process involving paying fines, back taxes, and going through other measures is not exactly a free pass and is what the senate passed.

"Rameumptoms" ... that's what a certain people in the Book of Mormon called the platform upon which they would stand and declare their misguided entitlements and beliefs that their current successful circumstances were surely marks of approbation by a God who loved them much more than those others who were less materially successful.
So many of these anti-immigration comments regarding this article remind me of those who stood upon rameumptoms!
Our current, byzantine and broken immigration system is a relatively new problem in our nation. For our first 100 years we didn't criminalize peaceful immigration and establish arbitrary quotas on who was welcome - and who was not. Further, even if someone insists on prosecuting our current flawed "documentation" laws to their fullest extent, it doesn't help me understand all the racism and scapegoating and bad information promulgated by those who irrationally fear immigrants.
During our recent decades of passing these new, arbitrary limits on immigration we've successively targeted any population that politicians could demonize: the Chinese, the Italians, the Irish, the Catholics in general, etc.
The truth of the matter: our founders faced no arbitrary limits - and waves of immigration creates jobs instead of using them up.
Fitness Freak Salt Lake City, UTJuly 25, 2013 2:52 p.m.
The author, sadly, shows a huge lack of respect for Mormon, (and other)Pioneers of the west.
Did the pioneers, upon arrival in S.L. Valley ask for WIC, foodstamps, or any other kind of charity administered (through force)by the U.S. government?
Did they DEMAND schools teach any/all of kids in their "native tongue"?
Did they break laws, and continue to break laws all the time they were here?
I grew up in a mining/industrial town that was largely made up of ethnic minorities. I can't remember even ONE ethnic minority that didn't speak English. Nor did I EVER hear of them ever breaking laws. It was SEVERELY frowned upon.
Its always interesting to me to hear those who claim "Indians were here first" (or whoever).
Their "land title" arguments seem to end at about 1840. Why don't they argue back all the way to the dinosaurs?
In other words, since dinosaurs were here first, none of us are entitled to the land!
Fact is; we should ALWAYS respect and honor the laws that are in place at the time of our occupation.
Thats something the amnesty advocates and law-breakers refuse to do.

"I will forever be stunned at the animosity..."
"There is something very dark at the heart of the conservatives who want to victimize these people further."
Not only are the above accusations lies, they also falsely transfer culpability from the guilty to the innocent. Upholding the law is not "animosity." Not allowing the poor to shoplift is not "further victimization."
Animosity is disrespectfully trampling upon the laws and customs of a sovereign nation. It is an affront to those throughout history who have fought and died to defend it. The American people are the actual victims.
I will forever be stunned at the utter lack of scruples and the pure greed of Utah businessmen who gladly will sell out the nation and even the birthrights of their own children and grandchildren in order to protect their illegitimate, cheap-labor pool and avoid paying their fellow Americans a fair wage.
And there is something very dark at the heart of persons who also will bear false witness against their neighbor and spread false propaganda in order to facilitate their anti-enforcement, pro-cheap-labor agenda.
No wonder Jesus spoke of camels, and of eyes of needles.
Eric Samuelsen Provo, UTJuly 25, 2013 9:49 a.m.
A wonderful article and a much needed perspective. Once again, Professor Davis enhances our national dialogue.
Is this a pro-amnesty article. Perhaps somewhat, and a good thing too.
Irony Guy Bountiful, UtahJuly 25, 2013 9:33 a.m.
I will forever be stunned at the animosity shown toward the weakest and most vulnerable among us--those who build our homes and buildings, landscape our properties, clean our toilets and make our beds and wash our dishes. There is something very dark at the heart of the conservatives who want to victimize these people further. I say give them a work card and let them come in freely.
cjb Bountiful, UTJuly 25, 2013 9:06 a.m.
When Mexicans moved into what was there in Texas they got permission from Mexico, they agreed to abide by Mexican law as a condition for their being let in. Mormon pioneers didn't get permission therefore they were in violation of Mexican law at the time when they came to Utah, they were .. illegal immigrants.
Hats off to the LDS Church for recognizing that while obeying the law is important, not allowing the law to be as a hammer to push needy people in need further down is even more important.
How many people honor the Mormon pioneers while disparaging the modern immigrants? Should we not judge ourselves and our ancestors the same way we judge others? I believe Jesus answered that question when he said .. love your neighbor as yourself
To those who say this land wasn't inhabited by Mexicans there for the immigration was okay does that mean Russia pour people into Alaska because much of it is uninhabited?
prelax Murray, UTJuly 25, 2013 2:09 a.m.
Spain nor Mexico established permanant settlements in Utah. It's a silly argument made to play on a false guilt.

How can the pioneers be blamed for driving out the Utes (and other tribes), then complain the land belonged to Mexico.
You can't argue both.

Just another misleading article pandering to illegal immigration. The pioneers were forced out of the United States with violence, and still provided service to the country with the Mormon Battalion. Illegals sneak across the border breaking the law the moment they set foot, and sponge off of the citizens. The comparison is not even close.
tenx Santa Clara, UTJuly 24, 2013 2:14 p.m.
Like many of you above, I too long for the good old days. You could homestead land free, shoot as many buffalo as you wanted or deer and no taxes to pay. Crossing borders for Kenghis Khan was sooo easy and no passport required. But folks this is not 1850, gas isn't 5 cents a gallon and every country, including Sudan, has immigration laws. When I drove a car to Panama in 1965 we had to stop at every border, have our papers in order complete with visas, and pass only at the hours the border was open including not passing during lunch (3) hour. So forget the pioneers, you have to have a passport and a visa. If not, you are breaking the law. All countries have them so smarten up, we are not requiring something unusual.
tenx Santa Clara, UTJuly 24, 2013 1:28 p.m.
I get so confused when a article like this talks of illegal migrants and legal immigrants and lumps them together as "immigrants". I am surprised (or maybe not) that a professor would try to mislead us.
CA Granny PETALUMA, CAJuly 24, 2013 11:26 a.m.
As residents of California who have had many experiences with Spanish speaking immigrants beginning with my husband's first mission to Mexico in 1955 and a couples mission to Guatemala in 1997, I have mixed feelings about the current debate because it seems to focus on giving all of them a free pass or giving none of them anything, and I think the answer has to come from somewhere in the middle and it needs to be a reasonable one. Having lived in Guatemala, I know how difficult their life is.
We have worked with two Spanish speaking branches of the church in the US and have come to love and respect those people. For many of them, the adjustment to the US culture is even harder than what they go through to cross the border and they find life here only marginally better than back home. But before we condemn them, check our own history. In Utah, the Utes were displaced, but the history of the European/Americans and the Native American tribes is not something we an be proud of. Hopefully, serious consideration of all the factors in this question will be part of decisions made regarding their status.
BYU Track Star Los Angeles, CAJuly 24, 2013 10:37 a.m.
From the Ute's prespective, this was the day the White man showed up to invade their homeland. Utah Valley had a sizable Native American population. They relied on the fish from Utah Lake to supplement their diets. When the Pioneers came to Utah Lake they rapidly depleted the fish population there, much to the chagrin of the Utes. With the Reconquista of Utah by the Hispanic immigrants, I wonder how long it will be before a person like Samueal the Lamanite is raised up?
davidctr ,July 24, 2013 10:20 a.m.
Great article. People sometimes forget their history and how it relates to their present. We do not need more xenophobia, we need a more humane and compassionate approach. Thanks for the perspective.
SLars Provo, UTJuly 24, 2013 1:58 a.m.
When the pioneers arrived, we were at war with Mexico (Morman Batallion), they had withdrawn from all the land north of our present border. The war for the territories that joined America was over.
Mexico had no immigration offices in the US. They had no immigration laws. We do, and we need to enforce them.
If all Utahns left the state, and Mexico and the Latin American countries military forced the few remaining people out, it would be the same. As it is, there are no similarities.
anti-liar Salt Lake City, UTJuly 24, 2013 1:23 a.m.
More subtle, pro-amnesty sophistry, this time using the occasion of Pioneer Day to once again promulgate the false doctrine that to be "sympathetic" is to look the other way at illegal immigration.
I doubt the 19th Century pioneers were teaching their children that the way to residency in America is dishonesty, illegality, and disrespect for one's neighbor, which eventually will pay off in the form of Amnesty. The area back then was unsettled. There were no prohibitions on illegal entry. Today's Utah is a CIVILIZED SOCIETY with laws for orderly -- and fair -- immigration. Again, the analogy between the pioneers of yesterday and today's illegal aliens, is false.
Certainly locals who knew better weren't pushing for legislation that would benefit a few special interests only at the expense of the rest of society, and, even more immoral, confirm for children the false lesson they were taught -- that dishonesty and illegality is the right way.
It is time for compassion for the plight of the American family -- which suffers as a direct result of illegal immigration. The only true compassion is equal treatment at the law. Prof. Davis may want to read the 12th Article of Faith.
Sundance Kid USA, UTJuly 24, 2013 12:50 a.m.
The only problem with your comparison of illegal immigrant pioneers to the illegal immigrants of today is that back in 1847, the only people in this part of Mexico were a few bands of Indians. They certainly didn't have near the economic and social infrastructure in place that we do today. They weren't worried about being forced to cover exorbitant healthcare costs for those that couldn't because they did it out of the good of their heart and because the onerous health care system of today simply didn't exist back then. Unfortunately, the lifestyle choices of many today lead us farther down that path.
I appreciate your desire to persuade readers to be more sympathetic to the plight of modern illegal immigrants, but trying to give them a pass by comparing their legal status to that of the original Mormon pioneers ignores important economic and social contexts.

Chennai: It was "borewell robot", an indigenous device developed by a Madurai-based social worker, that saved a 3-year old boy who fell into an abandoned borewell in a village in Tirunelveli in southern Tamil Nadu.
For M Manigandan, who along with his team is involved in operations to save children who accidentally fall into borewells, the rescue of the boy on April 14 marked the first success with his device.
An ITI educated fitter and now working as a faculty in a college which imparts vocational training to rural people, the 43-year old says it took him several years to develop the 'robot', the trigger for which was his own son's accidental fall into a borewell in 2003 and rescue.
"My prayer every morning is that a situation that demands use of my equipment to rescue children should not arise," he told PTI.
Explaining the device, he said the 'robot' is actually a two feet high simple iron framework weighing just five kg. It has a hook on its top to enable its suspension through a rope deep into borewells.
The device has a high resolution camera which can take pictures even in pitch dark conditions and arms which are detachable.
It can lift weight upto 50 KGs. The pictures can be seen on a computer monitor. "In Tirunelveli, we first tried the rubber arms... but the child kept pushing it away probably out of fear... then I used the clamp arms which clutched the child and thankfully we were able to rescue the child."
Asked if the child would not get hurt if the arms clutched it too closely, he said a pressure guage continuously monitors the pressure exerted by the arms and the victim's response.
On challenges faced in such rescue operations, he said the main problem was delay in getting information.
"By the time we reach the spot it is several hours after the occurrence which diminishes the chances of survival of the victim."
He wants the government to come forward to manufacture such "rescue robots" and make them available in fire stations. "It is easy to make, it will not cost more than Rs. 60,000," he said.

A million thanks to this man for his noble work. May tribe increase. I request TAMIL NADU CM to take steps for mass production of this device and distribute them to every Panchayat so that children can be saved. Further there should be severe punishment should be given to the people who leave the borewells uncovered properly. The Supreme Court of Indian can take up SUO MOTU on this important matter and advise the Government to pass necessary Bill for punishment.

Gator basketball rises to No. 10 in AP poll
The Florida men's basketball team is ranked No. 10 in the latest AP poll released on Monday.
The Gators (8-0) will play No. 7 Syracuse (8-0) Thursday in the SEC-Big East Invitational at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Florida coach Billy Donovan said the Gators' ranking last week - when Florida entered the poll at No. 13 - may have been more indicative of its play than this week's rise.
"Sometimes in polls, when we first got ranked, we probably earned that in our own right playing against Florida State, Michigan State and Rutgers and really having some hard early tests in November,'' Donovan said. "Now, no disrespect to FAMU and Jacksonville, probably our climb in the polls now has less to do with what we've done and maybe a lot more to do with some other people losing.''
Donovan said he doesn't know how his team will handle the newfound success; this is only the second week Florida has been ranked since last January - but he's hoping the Gators will be able to keep it in perpsective.
"All this is very, very fragile,'' Donovan said. "Winning is very fragile, success is very fragile. And I think if you embrace it, or think you have it figured out, or think it's easy, that's when you really put yourself in a position of being extremely vulnerable.''

PENNINGTON, N.J., Sept. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPTT) ("OPT" or "the Company") today announced financial results for its Fiscal 2014 first quarter ended July 31, 2013. Highlights
- The Company's net loss for first quarter of Fiscal 2014 declined to $3.8 million from $4.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013.
- OPT also recently announced the following developments:
— Deployment of the Company's enhanced Autonomous PowerBuoy® ("APB-350") 35 miles off the coast of New Jersey in 140 feet of water. This project is part of the previously-announced Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ("CRADA") with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") Science & Technology Directorate. Under this program, the Company has performed in-ocean tests on its proprietary APB-350 to further validate the technology's capacity for expanded ocean surveillance. The system deployed includes a new acoustic sonar system, in addition to the existing HF radar, to allow detection of sub-surface and surface activity. This round of systems testing has been completed, with very good data received on energy output and on the sonar system's sub-surface detection of vessel acoustic profiles. — Award of two grants from the U.S. Department of Energy. The first was made under the Small Business Innovation Research program as a Phase I grant for approximately $150,000. This project is for the study of advanced control technologies for optimizing OPT's next-generation PowerBuoy. Separately, the Company won a $1.0 million award for work to optimize design of the PowerBuoy's float and spar, subject to negotiation of the final contract. This effort will include consideration of materials used and the geometry of the systems to maximize power-to-weight output ratios and to reduce overall installed capital costs. — Final assembly has begun in Spain by OPT and its WavePort consortium partners of a PowerBuoy that features an enhanced energy conversion system utilizing a new wave prediction model. Significant progress continues, including land testing. The buoy features an advanced modular power take-off."We are very excited to have received two awards from the U.S. Department of Energy, and appreciate this new opportunity to be part of their initiatives in support of the marine hydrokinetic industry," said Charles F. Dunleavy, Chief Executive Officer of OPT. "In addition, I am happy to report that we have received positive feedback to the news of this deployment and the expanded mission capability of the APB-350 from several market sectors which we are pursuing. Under this Department of Homeland Security program, we are pleased with the initial results of our APB-350 in terms of power generation and the performance of our new on-board ocean surveillance sonar system. We expect to conduct further tests of the system going forward, building on these initial results and after we implement some planned improvements to the APB-350. At the same time, we are continuing to develop other potential projects in the U.S. and overseas, and we anticipate further progress in the current fiscal year towards commercialization in both our utility and autonomous PowerBuoy end markets."
