Confession: Some mornings I wake up and really don't have the desire to pull on the Wellies and hit the beach. It would be very easy to stay in bed, crack open a book or fire up the latest phone app, and kill the morning.
In Maine we are blessed with a wide array of coastlines. Each waiting to become someone's favorite, home-away-from-home. The place that inspires them.
(credit: Giacomo Barbaro)
Living in Maine, our cup really does overflow.
Visiting a Maine beach in March 2010, Harold Johnson was shocked by the ocean-borne debris left by recent storms. He grabbed a garbage bag and a camera, and hasn't looked back.
Since then he has spent most of his free time studying marine pollution, coastal ecosystems, and the mysteries and science of ocean and shore.
Copyeditor and writer by trade, historian and archaeologist at heart, Johnson's philosophy is simple: Dig below the surface, travel the currents, make the connections, learn. Then share what you learn. He lives in Saco with his wife and young daughter. Follow on Twitter @FlotsamDiaries.

All you can "read" in a mug shot. - I was always fascinated by the photography but more particularly by the exercise of the portrait. This interest comes because of the expression of the face captured over the moment. The movement of eyes, mouth and the lines
of the face generally allow almost to read in the thought of the subject, or to extrapolate on its past, futur life.
The MUG SHOTS (or police photographs) really synthesize this idea, they are often persons with strong personalities,
very meaning faces thus very interesting to study and to draw.
Once the drawing done, I wanted to expose it in the street to bring out the subject of the anonymity, give him
a place and an identity (when on the photo he is just a series of figures among the others).

Re: Quick question about the ui
I am not familiar with the OG UI/UX but I suspect its pretty close. I mean its ok, it doesn't blow me away but then again I am fickle and change devices routinely. I can say its smooth, runs well and has a great display. I do look forward to the offerings later in the year and what will be coming down the line, GN3 and others in the phablet arena. Too bad Google is dead set on not releasing anything Phablet wise for the Nexus, could you imagine what that would be like. I don't see why they don't have Samsung offer up a GN3 32GB Nexus Developer Edition like they are with the S4.
Re: Quick question about the ui
Yes, it is very similar but it has a few enhancements here and there. For example, Home (the stock launcher) has the ability to Hide apps. Also, the Battery Information gives more info like Expected time to use or Expected time to full charged.

This is no longer the case I'm afraid. Since 4.0.6 they put in a 2.5 second internal cooldown so it takes roughly 45-50 seconds to get 20 stacks. Still a good trinket if you can keep your stacks up but in any situation where they fall off this trinket is severely compromised.

Pele says Lionel Messi isn't the best player in the world today - much less of all time.
Pele said on Wednesday that young Brazilian striker Neymar is better than the Argentina forward, and reiterated once again that he doesn't think Messi belongs in the conversation about who is the best player ever.
That debate has long centered around Pele and Diego Maradona, but many have started including Messi after a series of outstanding performances with Barcelona.
Pele, however, said at an event celebrating the centennial of Neymar's club Santos that "there's always this Maradona comparison, saying that he's better than Pele. Now some are saying that Messi is better than Pele. Well, he has to be better than Neymar first, which he isn't yet. He has more experience."
The 20-year-old Neymar is seen as Brazil's greatest player at the moment.

For Commenters Consideration | Please stick to the subject matterCOMMENTS [1]
Whether Pele agrees or not, Messi is the greatest footballer of this generation, the best period!

Third party DRM: Steam
This game requires a free Steam account to play.Description
Real Cars, Real Racing…
RACE 07 – The Official WTCC Game features the full FIA WTCC season of 2007 including all cars and tracks, as well as several new support classes and tracks from all over the world. The game also features the full WTCC season of 2006 which was included in the games predecessor RACE – The WTCC Game, released in 2006 on PC.
For the first time ever SimBin is also presenting single seat action with Formula cars. Race with the incredibly fast Formula 3000, Formula BMW and in addition also the Radical sports cars with the models SR3 and SR4.
To support these new race classes the player will be offered the choice between one or two-race format. The highly detailed damage system is also adapted to give the Formula cars the vulnerability they have in real life.
RACE 07 comes with a score of new tracks and added track variations including several new city tracks, alternate track layouts and reversed track option. Several new community oriented features, game modes and online functionalities will also be announced later.
All in all, RACE 07 features more than 300 cars in 9 different classes on 32 real life racing tracks and city circuits from all over the world.

Intense "single seater" action: on these open race cars SimBin has developed a helmet camera as never seen before. Not only does it accurately resemble the view from inside a helmet, it also has all the visor dynamics the real fan could wish for. The visor gets dirty and can be cleaned by pulling a protective layer of plastic off, the so called "tear-off."
32 different tracks and variations from all over the world, including unique city tracks as well as legendary tracks such as Monza, Zandvoort, Brands Hatch and Imola
Online World Championship functionality with rankings and leader boards

A decent sim for super cheap.
numanair | Dec. 26, 2012 | See all numanair's reviews »If you are looking for a racing sim on a budget this is the way to go. While the game is several years old, it has aged pretty well. The graphics and performance are good, even on a midrange PC. You will want to use a wheel with this game as it does have simulator physics. The tire physics are actually the main problem I have with the game. The skidding dynamics of the tires does not feel real. This inhibits powerslides and drifting, so if you are looking for a racing game to drift in, this might not be it. It is after all built as a touring car sim. Multiplayer is fun, though it took some figuring out with opening ports (the specific ports are listed on Simbin's website). Unfortunately it does not have splitscreen multiplayer. The community support is good and features a fair amount of user made content. Because Race 07 shares parts of its engine with several other games there are several mod conversions available.
A sim with all the cars you could want
Cooberstooge | Aug. 26, 2012 | See all Cooberstooge's reviews »Simbin has done an awesome job with this game, and it's because of this that Race 07 is enjoyable for those of us who aren't into hardcore racing sim games.
There's cars in here from all the different types, from modified Minis to full-blown Formula super cars. The tracks are set all over the world, and can feature realistic weather effects, should you so desire them. You can race from a following perspective, or even in-car if you like, with operable controls that mimic what you're doing at the moment.
The online racing component is still very much alive, and racing with a bunch of humans is so much more fun than the AI, even though that in itself is very competent. Cheaters are a problem in the online races, but they're always "named 'n shamed" by the community and quickly disappear or clean up their act. The community is very friendly to newcomers, and any help offered is always a suggestion, never a demand.
For a $5 racer, you cannot possibly go wrong with Race 07, which will give you plenty of hours of great-looking fun for an insanely low price.
A pretty fun racing sim for the price.
Gh0st233 | May 26, 2012 | See all Gh0st233's reviews »This game is a pretty fun racing simulation. The price is reasonable for the content that you get. There's alot of championships and different vehicles for each of these. And, my favourite feature, is the cockpit view. It feels pretty realistic, maybe not as realistic as DiRT 2 or 3, but realistic, nonetheless. If you do have a steering wheel, be sure to try it with one, as the feeling is much better than with a keyboard. The cars are fairly textured and look pretty decent, considering the game is a few years old. I'd recommend the game, for the full price.

This title in other editions1921: The Yankees, the Giants, and the Battle for Baseball Supremacy in New Yorkby Lyle Spatz
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:At the dawn of the roaring twenties, baseball was struggling to overcome two of its darkest moments: the death of a player during a Major League game and the revelations of the 1919 Black Sox scandal. At this critical juncture for baseball, two teams emerged to fight for the future of the game. They were also battling for the hearts and minds of New Yorkers as the city rose in dramatic fashion to the pinnacle of the baseball world. 1921 captures this crucial moment in the history of baseball, telling the story of a season that pitted the New York Yankees against their Polo Grounds landlords and hated rivals, John McGraws Giants, in the first all-New York Series and resulted in the first American League pennant for the now-storied Yankees franchise. Lyle Spatz and Steve Steinberg recreate the drama that featured the charismatic Babe Ruth in his assault on baseball records in the face of McGraws disdain for the American League and the Ruth-led slugging style. Their work evokes the early 1920s with the words of renowned sportswriters such as Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice, and Heywood Broun. With more than fifty photographs, the book offers a remarkably vivid picture of the colorful characters, the crosstown rivalry, and the incomparable performances that made this season a classic. About the AuthorLyle Spatz is the author of many books, including Bad Bill Dahlen: The Rollicking Life and Times of an Early Baseball Star and Yankees Coming, Yankees Going: New York Yankee Player Transactions, 1903 through 1999. Steve Steinberg is the author of Baseball in St. Louis, 1900-1925 and numerous articles on early twentieth-century baseball, including feature articles for the annual New York Yankees official yearbooks. Charles C. Alexander is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at Ohio University. He is the author of several baseball books, including Spoke: A Biography of Tris Speaker and John McGraw (available in a Bison Books edition).

Via Paypal I bought Projoom Multi Rotator. I was in hurry and mailed to ProJoom. I got the component via mail. That was no problem. Then I installed PM Rotator. Noticeboard which I'm also using gives a conflict with PM Rotator. I figure that out. I sent a mail to ProJoom and in one day they had a solution. They gave me a new Noticeboard module with an jQuery switch-off button. In Noticeboard you can't switch of jQuery and that can gives conflicts. Everything is working fine now. If you like something from Projoom you can buy it because the products work and my support was quickly and helpfully!

On April 8-12, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conducted a technical meeting to discuss self-assessment methodologies for nuclear security culture in Vienna, Austria. The purpose of this meeting was to review the draft guidance first tested in Indonesia and to determine the ways in which the self-assessment methodology could be further improved, finalized and made available to member states.
As a proof of concept, CITS assisted the IAEA in implementing a pilot self-assessment project conducted in Indonesia at three operating research reactors in cooperation with BATAN, the Indonesian nuclear authority. The project was made possible by a generous grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. CITS will continue to be involved in this process, potentially working with other countries to help implement the methodology on a trial basis.
In the Vienna meeting, over 40 representatives from some 28 countries provided relevant experience and specific recommendations on how the methodology could be practically implemented by various users globally throughout nuclear infrastructure. It was noted that conducting the self-assessment process will enhance nuclear security culture.
At the request of member states, the IAEA is now in the process of drafting two technical guidance documents on nuclear security culture. A draft technical guidance on self-assessment of nuclear security culture was developed through several consultancy meetings with the participation of CITS staff.

The device is called a nanophotonic avalanche photodetector and is made of silicon and germanium -- both used in current microprocessor chips. The term comes from the way the exchange of information happens, as explained by IBM: "Analogous to a snow avalanche on a steep mountain slope, an incoming light pulse initially frees just a few charge carriers which in turn free others until the original signal is amplified many times."
The rather complicated concept is not new but IBM claims it has been able overcome the speed limitations of previous systems from the likes of Intel and others. It will be a while before we see this integrated into mainstream manufacturing, though. IBM says probably five years for high-end servers and another five for video game systems and cell phones.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Provided the scaling can be consistent with current standard manufacturing techniques, this technology could mean huge boosts in mobile computing, both in efficiency and speeds. Using a fraction of the power to run the same operation - imagine the battery life.
Once again IBM are making improvements on the next revolution. I just wonder though, if this does ever make it into consumer electronics, how will they stop bits of dirt getting in between the light, as not everyone's pocket is clean (mine are).
I can see this in very very very very clean environments where not a speck of even the smallest dirt is, but out in the real world, its another matter that needs solving.
I'm commenting because i think this is cool and i want a new laptop
Another new chip for another Nintendo system down the road.
combine this with the concept of 'spintronics' (that is instead of harnesing the power of the spin of the electron rather than the electron itself) and we are are well on our way to all kinds of things. Now about that warp drive...

Based on what I watched I'd figure the light would have to be transmitted via some sort of transmission line (fiber optic or similar) or have the entire circuit sealed from airborne particles.
this seems like a great way to extend battery life on mobile's and making the system a lot faster overall but 5 to 6 years seems like forever but this is fascinating and i will watch the tech closely.
How would this affect the cooling of the chips? Would they even run as hot with this new architecture?
With that kind of power consumption I wouldn't even need a desktop, I could do everything on my laptop! Mobile gaming would be revolutionized!
I still want to know when we will be able to use the optical out on the I/O panel of my computer.

I would like to know about this situation as well. Companies would have to make tiny vacuums of space in between the chips, which would presumably be prone to being broken, and that is REALLY not an easy thing to fix one would think.
I think if this type of chip is used in pc's , for cpu to chipset to other devices... i think pc's and laptops could shrink smaller, and be so much faster... that would be sweet... so may possibilities....
As I recall, this technology has been announced for quite a few years, and so its not really groundbreaking news.
IMO, room-temp superconductors may be a better bet, although I think that one may be much farther down the road.
This could be the future here by IBM, but it sounds expensive.
40 Gbps? Chewie hit the light speed!
The light signal still has to be converted to electrical before it's of any use. They need a pure photonic transistor before this will be of use in CPUs. By itself this is of no use in chips, with one exception. Where this will be useful is for transmission of information. Maybe a future USB, SATA, or PCIe type of bus that is optical.
I would think the the designers would have built in error correction to ensure the should a particle of dirt come in the way the signal would be retransmitted. This would mean while needing to operate in a clean environment it would not need a vacuum reducing the fragility of the device it would be used in.
This might even be used to break the limit of Moore's law. Circuits can then get a lot smaller. The only problems here are the converters, which after a while, can't get smaller and the transistors, which can't get smaller, and still have to be made photonic, as peas said.
I thought this already existed in the form of fibre optic lines? But just not the 40Gbps bit...
this typically reminds when fiber optics where first introduced to replace copper wires. welcome to the photonic world.

This is just communication between chips, I'm assuming this will be just like fibre optics and is going to be used for communication between the northbridge, cpu, southbridge maybe even the ram. Imagine how fast this is going to be.
10 Years is a long time to WAIT.....
Amazing, at such low voltage it wouldn't generate much heat..
IBM making future,
Looks interesting, but this sounds like the sort of thing that never makes it to actual products despite IBM saying 5 to 10 years. Kind of like all those multilayered disks we've seen being announced in the last few years (ie: 200GB Bluray disks with 8 layer disks and the likes).
Yeah, i guess i am certainly skeptical in the near term. I am currently integrating a "cutting" edge RF to fiber conversion system, and it definitely has some power/heat issues for the targeted application. I know this is a slightly different problem that we are working on, but i would be very surprised if they were able to get this into a reasonable sized package in 5 years.
This is pretty cool! So if I unplug my CPU during usage... the motherboard will shine a ray of light across my room.
On the serious side, this IS pretty cool. Imagine the power savings it'll do! It's about time the world goes eco if you ask me.
This is the future of computers. You can only go so fast with electronics. So you either have to move to a light-based system or Quantum computing. I'd bet in 20-30 years we will wonder how we got by with our current digital electronic based circuitry.
This technology could apply within chips eventually, as well as between chips. Heat will drop as power requirements to maintain the communications bus drops. And the pipelines will most likely be a sealed system, such as fiber optic strands, so the whole "needs to be in a clean room" situation would be avoided.
Couple this technology with some of the optical processor tech we hear snippets on occasionally, and the future looks bright indeed (pun intended).
A few months ago I was wondering if they could make motherboards without using electricity, or as little as possible. Using fiber optics instead of copper wires and such in the board. Though I know its not really possible to do this without using electricity, I think everything humans are going to make rely on electricity. The reason I was thinking of this idea was that this type of chip communication is not effected by EMI. Now if only the controllers for these interfaces were somehow powered by something other than electricity.. is it possible? I dont think people can think outside that box yet.. i cant.
wow fiber optics is taking over quickly, i would like to see this in cars and stuff
Great, this is exactly the kind of technology that will create an army of Commander Data's to kill us all.
All the tech stuff aside, that just sounds freakin awesome!!!
Know how you feel.
Though as a Terry Pratchett fan "I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it."
If they can follow through with this design and take the risks necessary to set an example for other technology developers, we will see a marked reduction in electricity consumption and a more efficient future.
let's hope the electricity providers don't start to panic and raise prices, haha!
The rate that data transfer is increasing is wonderful. Also, the low power consumption's an added bonus. This sort of thing just makes me really happy.
nanophotonic avalanche photodetector awesome name lol anyways 5 years thats around the corner! I'm looking forward to this 40Gbit/s thats fast! Thats a whole new level of gaming and mobile this could mean a lot its low powered, both phones and games system & computers that's less battery power lower chance of a system over-heating faster load times in games oh my! I'm getting excited just from typing.
Wow. The technology is not far fetched, but I'm interested in information that has not been provided. The cascading effect seems to hint at something else for the actual data stream. If you take the video literally, it shows one clean proton in and a ton of electron garbage out with little or no control over singularities, but are stuck with pluralarities for the end result of data (lots of worthless junk code caused by lots of excessive electron cascades).
However, I could see algorithms and formulaes being broken up and congruently run in multiple parallel within a chip or single-chip multi-processing (Multi-Core or Multi-CPU competition by a single photon-chip). On the energy side as described, only one particle (proton) is moved (energy consumption or cost) that then cascades multiple free energy particles (electrons), then the video fails to state how much free energy is actually produced (cascaded).
Between 2000 and 2003,
1. Bell Labs Switzerland trapped light in a silicon wafer at 15 microns and were working towards 9 microns. The best I could see from the sample wafer was a flashlight or night light that required no electricity or batteries at the time I became aware of and saw the wafer. I was curious as how it could be applied to microchips or as a true photo-chip processor or whatever type chip.
Obviously, it's impossible to turn off, but doesn't require anymore energy introduction or conversion, if they ever develop it. The only downside I could see is if the silicon wafer cracked - the end of that. Crystal polarity and photo polarity could be used as the means of data storage and transmission without having to allow the light to escape or without having to release the excited photons.
2. Two independent U.S. university groups trapped light within a 3 millimeter fiber optics section using 'super cooled sodium' in one university research group and 'warm rubidium' in the second university research group.
The protons were physically stopped within the optic fiber which is the first time light had ever been reduced to 0 MPH/KPH, where as in a cyclotron light could only be slowed to about 14 to 25 MPH (about the speed of a typical bicyclist) and sped up to 6 times the normal speed of light. Light must travel at 6 to 8 times the normal speed of light to escape the gravitational pull of a typical blackhole. The cyclotron experiments is an advent to future space research satellites, if they can figure out how to miniaturize the cyclotron (LOL).
The trapped light was easily and completely released with an introduction of a single proton. Both independent university research groups discovered that the protons contained in the trapped light automatically lined up into a dual binary system and estimated that the trapped light (protons) contained in the 3 millimeter segment of optical fiber could store well over 2.4+ kilometers of data.
Natural physical dual-binary proton alignment of light trapped with 'super cold sodium' or 'warm rubidium'. *An attempted representation of the actual physical protons.*

Currently, all publicly available photo electronic technologies in use do not utilize the full potential of light, other than using pulses of light for data (comparable to morse code using a flashlight), or photo polarity with crystal polarity. Electron manipulation of crystal polarity is common such as with the Junction Transister. Crystals can also be crushed to release electrons, such as with crystal-electronic lighters, etcetera.
Electrons can also be released by bombarding a conductor, but that's generally high power with exception of naturally radioactive conductors. Millions of anti-matter (positive electrons) have been found to be created and released by bombarding gold (as small as 1 millimeter square) with a laze. A single low-power fractional second pulse laze shot at the gold created on average about 180,000 anti-matter particles per pulse. Not sure how useful anti-matter and electronic circuitry work well together at this time.
I guess IBM is not using this dual-binary aspect of light. Who knows what technology is actually integrated? I need more information please, aside from the troubleshooting video chart reliant on a audio narrative. 40 Gigabits sounds more like an intentional impedence.
I'm probably reading too much into the video, and it's probably not really a true photonic chip, but an electronic chip that uses photon bombardment of an array of photo-sensors [an element array of miniaturized plug-in photo-sensitive night lights].
Oh well. Had my hopes up for the even better technology with the potential: no plugs and no batteries required.
40Gbit\s WOW imagine what's possible when everything is tweaked.Imagine using (more?) colours !
We can't imagine what a leap this would be.
Well let us hope they work fast,I'd love to see a supercomputer run on this tech.
IBM is known to be a giant company in the IT industry.....
Their idea is pretty good and it's gonna be fantastic one....
Wow I don't think that they could have this product but indeed it come true......

I don't think Google is near as worried about explaining adjustments to publishers as they are about keeping advertisers happy. If there's any benefit of the doubt to be given, it's on the advertiser side, not the publishers.
Moreover, if the advertiser's credit card fails and the ads aren't paid for - guess what, you get adjusted down for that, too.
AdSense is what it is. As I have often said, the price we pay for the ease of implementation, better payouts than most similar programs, relatively reliable payment (used to be reliable payment, but they've been goofing on that in recent months) and low bar to entry is almost complete lack of control. If you want more control, you know what you need to do.

A singing fish.....whatever next?
VTech Sing And Splash Fish
Member Name: mumto3
VTech Sing And Splash Fish
Date: 23/11/11
Advantages: It comes with batteries
Disadvantages: not much entertainment value
When my youngest child celebrated her first birthday we bought her a Vtech sing and splash fish as one of her gifts.
As she is the youngest of four it is hard to find things that we don't already have especially for this age range. I bought the Vtech sing and splash fish a couple of days before her birthday in a state of desperation as the poor girl hardly had anything to unwrap on her big day.
The fish comes in a cardboard box with the instructions and it is already fitted with 2 x AAA batteries. Once you get it out of the box you do have to fit the two fins on the sides of the fish but then you are ready to play.
The fish is made of hard plastic that is mostly orange. The toy is shaped like a goldfish with a button on one side and clear section on the top that contains a flashing light and some small coloured balls. The tail is a handle on the back and there is a small hole through the back for the water to go in. The fishes mouth is made up of more holes for the water to come out.
The fish sings a couple of songs plays tunes and according to the box makes glugging noises and plays melodies when the water runs through it. I do not know if this is correct about the gurgling noises as I have never put the fish in the bath. I find that bath toys tend to get mucking inside and are almost impossible to clean so as this was quite an expensive toy I decided to keep it out of the bath.
The Vtech sing and splash fish cost me about £10 from Asda but is currently (Nov 11) from www.amazon.co.uk for around £7.
My daughter doesn't mind that this toy is in her toy box she doesn't know it is meant for the bath so she just plays with it anyway. She likes to carry the fish around like a bag and will just keep pressing the button to make the music play continuously. You can't really see the flashing light in the top so I don't feel that this adds anything to the toy. There are only two songs so this can get a bit monotonous especially when played over and over again.
To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this toy but I do feel a little disappointed with it. I think the people at Vtech were maybe running out of ideas because I'm not really sure why you want a music playing fish in the bath.
The recommended age range is from six months but I think a baby that young would struggle to lift this toy as it is quite heavy. I think a baby of that age would like the music but not sure it would add anything to bath time that a plastic boat or cup couldn't.
My daughter has played with this sing and splash fish but not very much or very often. If I had thought about it or read reviews at the time I probably wouldn't have bought it. I don't think the fish does enough to be interesting enough and just by adding the water pouring still wouldn't do much to enhance the entertainment value.
The toy is well made as you would expect from Vtech but I don't feel it is up to the usual standard in entertainment or educational value.
I wouldn't recommend the Vtech Sing and Splash Fish as I'm not sure what it brings in entertainment value. There are much better musical toys available and much better bath toys and I am not sure that mixing the two really works.
Summary: There are better musical toys and bath toys available

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The Arizona Diamondbacks placed outfielder Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list with a dislocated right hip. The team also recalled pitchers Chaz Roe and Tyler Skaggs from Triple-A Reno.
Ross suffered his hip injury during the first inning of Sunday's game against the New York Mets after falling while trying to beat out a grounder. He was hitting .278 with 17 doubles, eight home runs, and 38 RBI in 94 games with the D-Backs.
Roe has appeared in four games over two stints with Arizona this season where the right-hander has compiled a record of 1-0 and an ERA of 5.79 in 4 2/3 innings.
Skaggs has made seven starts for Arizona this season. The left-hander is 2-3 with a 5.35 ERA.
The Diamondbacks have also optioned Zeke Spruil to Reno after suffering the loss to the Mets on Sunday. He is 0-2 with an ERA of 5.56 in six games (two starts).

Senator Rand Paul Calls For State Dept Firings, Withdrawal from Afghanistan
Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday that someone in the U.S. State Department needs to lose his or her job over the Sept. 11 attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens.
"If someone made a decision that may have cost the ambassador his life, they need to be reassigned at the very least," the Kentucky Republican said after speaking to the Rotary Club of Louisville. "They need to lose their ability to make those decisions again."

When gameshooting, it is important to let the subconcious take over rather than thinking too much
By Phil Coley

Phil Coley on the pychology of shooting
The game season has started, and soon we will be into the partridges. Partridges are always a great challenge, both redlegs and, if you are lucky, English. These days, partridge shooting is usually a driven day, and as with all shooting, you want to enjoy your day and hit a few birds.
So, apart from technique, how can you improve your shooting? I believe it is about having mental discipline. Your driven game day should be fun, but many people dread the first bird of the drive — the lone bird heading straight towards you, with all the field's eyes on you and the pressure of making sure you hit it.
To illustrate how much of a mind game this sport is, one of the many complaints gameshooters speak to me about is trigger freeze or flinching. This happens at the moment that you are about to pull the trigger and find that you can't. Trigger freeze has nothing to do with technique — it is purely brought on by a mental block. Indeed, I am about to conduct a research study on the subject to get to the bottom of this fascinating, but highly frustrating problem.
Techniques to improve
Let's look to see how some simple mental techniques can help you shoot better at partridges or any other game. The key to shooting any target, be it a clay or quarry, is being decisive. The moment you try to second-guess or change your mind is the moment you miss. Decision-making is where many people go wrong. I use the subconscious — let it take over, rather than trying to measure a shot.
In terms of the subconscious, the best way to explain this is through the analogy of catching a ball. If someone was to throw you a ball, you catch it in the palm of your hand without looking — you use instinct. The same can be said for shooting. When a bird comes out and heads towards you, the process of shooting it is already in play in your mind. What then happens is that the process either plays out or you intervene and stop it, leading to a miss.
Why stop the subconscious?
The key is to understand why you stop the subconscious — what makes you check this? Usually this is caused by self-doubt, or a lack of confi dence in your technique. Confidence can be improved by having a lesson as well as through what I call "pre-shot management", or creating a routine that you follow every
time before pulling the trigger. One of these is, for example, saying "bum-bellybeak-bang", which creates a routine to follow every time, so that it eventually becomes a part of your subconscious.
I see so many people miss birds in front. This happens because they miss a bird and assume that they are behind, so they add even more lead. This is especially common in partridge shooting, where the perception is that the bird is travelling faster than it actually is. When you miss, you have to start again and let your subconscious take over. My father, Ian, always says, "Shoot where it is going, not where it has been." This might sound simplistic, but what he means is that it is easy to overcompensate. In doing this, many Shots miss out the vital stage of starting behind the bird and swinging through, and start too far ahead, which will result in a miss.
Relax and breathe
Another good attribute in the field is relaxation. It is important to be able to calm down in a drive and focus on the next bird. To achieve this, I use a technique called centering. This is a breathing technique used in martial arts. The method is simple. To centre yourself, breathe in to a point an inch behind your belly button, focusing on that point as you breathe in. This has two outcomes: first, it gives you something to focus on, and second, it keeps you taking deep breaths, which is an important part of staying relaxed, something not many people realise. By being more relaxed, you increase your peripheral vision, which is vital to shooting in the field where you need to be able to react to a second bird.
The other technique that I recommend is visualisation. This is a word that has certainly been used in the past few weeks by Olympic competitors. It involves imagining a situation and going through it in your mind. Gameshooting is, of course, different from competition shooting, but you still want to do your best — and a few people I know are very competitive in the field, too. Visualisation can play a key part in shooting better and warming your mind up. Some simple exercises can make a major difference.
If you were to think of your favourite partridge drive or pheasant drive, imagine a covey coming out in front of you. What can you see? How does it feel to see that bird coming towards you? Imagine you are ready to take the shot, how does it feel and when will you pull the trigger? While reading these few sentences did you see the bird? Could you feel the moment you pulled the trigger? Did your heart rate rise slightly?
Visualisation is a way of "shooting" without actually holding a gun. The benefi t is that it makes you think of what you will shoot and in turn increases your muscle memory and leads to a muscle twitch. If you have a dog, you will know what I mean — my springer, when lying on the carpet asleep, will suddenly start shaking slightly. It is dreaming of chasing a bird and flushing it, and its legs move as it dreams. This is similar to what we are trying to achieve with visualisation, though we are able to make the conscious decision to pull the trigger.
The evening or morning before a shoot, go through in your mind how it feels to shoot a bird and what thoughts you go through before pulling the trigger. When you get to your peg and feel excited about the drive, remember to relax and take a breath to steady yourself each time. Be aware that sometimes when you miss, you may just be in front rather than behind, so start the process again.
Phil Coley is a sports scientist specialising in sports psychology in shooting. He works with many top clay Shots and has been practising as a sports psychology expert for more than 20 years. Phil is conducting a research project on trigger freeze in clay and in game Shots. If you are interested in being a subject for the study, please contact him — all the research is confidential and the results will be published in 2013. Email Phil at email@example.com.

University of Dubuque Flight School Touts Training After Asiana Crashby Katie Wiedemann, Reporter
DUBUQUE, Iowa - News of the crash has rattled the aviation industry and has some wondering why a pilot with years of experience wasn't more familiar with the Boeing 777.
Instructors at the University of Dubuque's Aviation School say this crash is an example of why training is so important across plane models and say every pilot needs repetitive training on each and every single plane they fly. The pre-flight inspection isn't exactly what University of Dubuque Aviation Student, Thomas O'Keefe pictured when he first dreamed of becoming a pilot, but he knows the routine is critical. O'Keefe said, "If you love it, it never gets tedious. There is always something to work on. There is always something to do to be progressing yourself. " Also critical is the several hundred hours of flying time the FAA requires before a pilot earns a license. University of Dubuque Chief Flight Instructor Brett Hoben said, "It's that repetition. Doing things over and over again and just imprinting that into our mindset into our action. Developing that muscle memory takes time. " Hoben says while flying a plane is routine, it's nothing like the proverbial "riding a bike". Hoben said, "There's a lot of complex systems that need to be learned and memorized on a jet there are different speeds even between jets of that size and several differences in systems.

fc13 RPM dep generator issue
An fc13 build of "muse" is missing automatic SONAME deps. The fc12 and fc11 builds made on the same day are fine. The "muse" packages disables the internal dep generator to filter the Provides. Somehow this disables also the Requires. Has anything in fc13 RPM changed that would also affect packages other than this? -- packaging mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging |

A farm is never just a single structure, and the most common buildings required for the raising of livestock and the production of produce include a general purpose barn, hay storage, a dairy barn, a machine shed, a poultry house, and a greenhouse.
Building a farm is not a "DIY" project, and several contractors will be necessary for the job (concrete, carpentry, electrical, well drilling, etc.).
To construct a farm the typical costs will include:
Low: $45,000
High: $348,500
Cost to build a farm may vary depending on the state or city. Get free estimates from builders in your city.

ISSUED AT 1238 AM CDT THU MAR 13 2014 Revised aviation discussion for 06Z TAFs. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday night) ISSUED AT 217 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 Winds continue to taper off through the afternoon, so we will cancel the wind advisory a little early with the package issuance. Clouds should continue to decrease from west to east overnight as high pressure slides east across the central plains. We will have a cold night tonight as temperatures drop off to well below normal readings in the 20s. The high will will continue to slide east across the Gulf Coast states, which will shift winds back to the south to southwest on Thursday. This will help temperatures moderate back to near seasonal readings mostly in the 50s on Thursday, and into the lower to middle 60s on Friday. Models show a weak cold front moving across the PAH forecast area late Friday into Friday night. This will bring an increase in clouds, but models do not generate any QPF. Went with increasing clouds Friday and especially Friday night, and went with 14 pops for Friday night. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 217 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 Saturday continues the moderating trend, although the models have gotten more aggressive towards the moistening trend as well, with time. Expect some chance of light rain/showers across our southern FA beginning as southern flow remains wet/active. The GFS appears overly so, as it is now taking the same 1/2" QPF that yesterday same time it places to our south across Ern AR/Wrn TN, now into our southern counties. The ECMWF and subsequently the allblend take a more cautious step in that direction, and we`ll follow suite. The net result will be chance pops for the weekend, making daily/nightly chc mentions for a "wet" weekend, but not an all the time soaker by any means. Sat night may be the best chance as the wave that develops in the southern wind stream ejects from the Plains across the MS valley. Falling heights result after the aforementioned wave makes its passage, and we come more under the influence of the troffing flow lodged over the bulk of the Ohio Valley/northeastern U.S. This continues to mean drying/cooling air for us into early next week, so we see a basic long term forecast transition from 60s and 40s early, back to seasonally cool 50s/30s late. By mid week we may then start to swing back the other (moderating) way again. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 1238 AM CDT THU MAR 13 2014 Low VFR ceilings at KEVV and KOWB may briefly drop to MVFR early this morning. Otherwise, mainly VFR conditions are expected at all forecast terminals over the next 24 hours, with scattered mid clouds possible on Thursday. Northwest winds will continue to diminish overnight, then become southerly at 5 to 10 knots on Thursday as a weak warm front moves through. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE. KY...NONE. && $$


text: The process of retracting bogus or flawed journal articles is fast, democratic and efficient, according to a study recently published and accessible below. The Scholarly Kitchen is a blog written by some folks who have connections to and experience in the industry. I check it every morning and often find something really useful around here or at least something interesting to think about. Today the cooks are roasting the process of retraction… not "roasting" in the bad sense of mocking or making fun of…but simply that's what' on the menu today: Roast Retraction process. They call it a 'system'. I don't know if I would go that far, but at a time when so much crepe is being hung around academic publishing, this study is bit of cheer. The authors claim that about half the retractions occur within 24 months, and a smaller percentage much more quickly. They also note that retraction substantially reduces the number of post-event citations. I agree that this is some good news. But there are some worrying things. How many phony publications are still around, and "unretracted"? What happens to the retracted publications down the line? Does the citation count rise after, what, a year, two years? What are publishers and discovery services doing to note that an article has been retracted? I know MEDLINE has a rather elaborate mechanism for this purpose, but what about CAS or BIOSIS? And do publishers stamp RETRACTED on the digital version or do they yank it entirely, as in 1984, sending it down the Memory Hole, like it never existed. Interesting questions, no

March 6, 2014 - I ordered these bowls and the plates. They are beautiful. Great purchase.
February 15, 2014 - Beautiful little touches to put out for my guests. Love them.
February 14, 2014 - Beautiful bowls to pair with the matching plate. The dimensions are given so stop whining about the size. Certainly you cant expect to order something 4.5" and expect it to be 8" when it arrives! This is the standard size of a Japanese soup bowl.
February 9, 2014 - I REALLY hate to give any item less than 5 stars but I have to be honest. I LOVE the bowl and the color and the dragonflies but I was so disappointed when I saw how small it was! I had been prepared to have a bowl of cereal in it but it would only hold a third of a cup of cereal! Surely the Japanese don't eat that small of portions? If the bowl was a standard cereal size I would love it! That being said I am keeping it because I would never do anything to take away from the dogs but I really wish I could see myself using this pretty bowl...maybe for a dipping sauce?!
February 5, 2014 - nice quality, beautiful color. I gave it as a gift and my friend really enjoyed it.

Book Description:The Constitution in 2020 is a powerful blueprint for implementing a more progressive vision of constitutional law in the years ahead. Edited by two of America's leading constitutional scholars, the book provides a new framework for addressing the most important constitutional issues of the future in clear, accessible language. Featuring some of America's finest legal minds-Cass Sunstein, Bruce Ackerman, Robert Post, Harold Koh, Larry Kramer, Noah Feldman, Pam Karlan, William Eskridge, Mark Tushnet, Yochai Benkler and Richard Ford, among others-the book tackles a wide range of issues, including the challenge of new technologies, presidential power, international human rights, religious liberty, freedom of speech, voting, reproductive rights, and economic rights. The Constitution in 2020 calls on liberals to articulate their constitutional vision in a way that can command the confidence of ordinary Americans.

Commentaries - February 2013
Kenneth Goldsmith unpacks Walter Benjamin's library
When Dmitri Prigov explores the relationship between the book as material object and endlessly repeating copy, he anticipates a similar interest in the relationship between copy and singular material instantiation in Anglophone conceptual writing. One of the leading figures in conceptual writing, Kenneth Goldsmith, began his artistic career, like Prigov, as a sculptor. Among his early work, Goldsmith's iterations of Steal This Book illustrate his interest in the book as both copy and unique material object. His two versions or copies of the book are both monumental copies of Abbie Hoffman's 1971 counter-culture classic. One was made of lead and weighed 150 kg, the other was seven feet tall — both were too big to be stolen.
Goldsmith has since then produced a number of works that explore the iterations of the book through conceptual writing. For example, in retyping the New York Times and publishing the result in book form, Goldsmith transforms the disposable newspaper into a monumental brick-sized book on a par with the largest of the modernist long-poem masterworks, such as Pound's Cantos or Olson's Maximus Poems. Just as Prigov stresses the monastic act of copying and retyping in his work, so an important part of Goldsmith's presentation of Day is his stress on the laborious task of retyping and OCR-scanning the New York Times. In both cases, the task of retyping stands in absurd contrast to the ease of copying in the digital age — the act of copying and the book as a copy thus mark the book's reiterated presence in the age of digital reproduction.
Goldsmith also engages with the book as copy and particular embodied instantiation in a work that is purely digital: his "Kenneth Goldsmith Sings Walter Benjamin," the first in his serial audio work Kenneth Goldsmith Sings Theory, which comprises interpretations for music and voice of texts from such well known theorists as Theodor Adorno, Roland Barthes, and Harry Potter. For his Benjamin text, Goldsmith chooses to sing almost the entirety of "Unpacking My Library," a text that, as I've noted in a previous post, evinces both an interest in the singular quality of the individual copy and a focus on the book as a product of mechanical reproduction. Just as Benjamin lists copies of other books and the associations they bring, so Goldsmith copies Benjamin, creating an idiosyncratic audio book version. In his performance of the text, Goldsmith fuses precisely delineated musical sections, or movements, with the chaotic, shifting pitch and tone of his voice, paralleling Benjamin's observation in the essay that "if there is a counterpart to the confusion of a library, it is the order of its catalogue." Recalling Benjamin's vision of the collector's magic and tactile relation to his or her objects, Goldsmith's performance embodies the mark that the reader or collector leaves on a text through his idiosyncratic (to say the least) vocal rendition. The extreme idiosyncrasy of Goldsmith's version matches the idiosyncratic and, in Benjamin's words, "whimsical" account given in "Unpacking My Library." In both cases, the individual copy is marked by its collector, in Benjamin's case by each book's relation to his personal history, in Goldsmith's by his voice and intonation.

Further notes on my obsession with "Some Trees"
It's a love poem but perhaps, ultimately, it's directed at someone in particular.
Perhaps John Ashbery's "Some Trees" is a love poem for Frank O'Hara. They met at the time the poem was written, and they shared a twangy, bumpkin, non-Harvard accent. "These accents seem their own defense." See, above, two pages from Andrew Epstein's Beautiful Enemies. You might have to enlarge the image to read it easily. See the marked block quote in the middle of p. 236. (Thanks to Jason Zuzga for directing me to this passage.)
Robert Coover: podcast (23 mins.)
This is the 23rd episode of the Kelly Writers House podcast series, produced by me, hosted and introduced by Amaris Cuchanski, edited down to 23 minutes from the original hour-plus-long recording by Nick DeFina. The podcast features excerpts from a discussion with the writer of experimental metafiction, Robert Coover. I moderated the interview/discussion at the Writers House on February 24, 2009. Coover was visiting as part of a three-day stint sponsored by Kelly Writers House Fellows. He had given a reading the night before.
Why cry?
A question for Diana Hamilton
I had been hesitating to ask Diana Hamilton to talk about emotion / feelings / affect in her work, in part, because I was beginning to feel concerned that a tendency might be emerging in this column: a) that I'd somehow been asking more of my "female" correspondents to write on content questions, and b) that some of those content questions could look "soft" even though the answers I've been getting are quite brilliant and sometimes pretty hard-hitting. I mean, I asked Holly Melgard "Why childbirth" but could have asked her about her brilliant work with and on Troll Thread! But of course the issues raised by her childbirth performance are anything but soft or simple, and Holly's answer makes that clear enough. Diana Hamilton's brilliance, humor, and theoretical prowess deeply impress me. For the past few years she's been doing alot of heavy reading and thinking in the Comparative Literature Program at Cornell, where's she's earning her Ph.D. I remember her making some helpful theoretical connections in a Freud-Lacan reading group we both took part in a couple of years ago and was especially grateful for the work she and Kareem Estefan did unpacking Lacan's diagrams. But my favorite memory of Diana involves her heroically instigating a chant CREEPY! CREEPY! CREEPY! aimed at an older male poet as he, essentially, felt up a younger female poet while she was on stage. Yes, that happened. CREEPY! CREEPY! CREEPY! Good stuff.
Hamilton describes her first book, Okay, Okay as "a book of poetry that appropriates other people's feelings." Working with all found language around the management of emotions (mostly how to hide them effectively), and woven together quite beautifully by Hamilton, Okay, Okay is a provocative and emotional read. Full disclosure: I am its co-publisher at Truck Books. So I've been reading through the work in this manuscript all the way through its process of becoming. It has had a powerful effect on me, reading through what amounts, I think, to a well-re-written collection of our culture's seemingly insurmountable pile-up of repressed emotion. Okay, Okay does important work. And, moreover, a question about feelings and repression is not "soft"; it's been made to seem soft in its co-optation by conservative, reactionary poetry discourse. When language poetry began to gain traction they said, "but it has no feelings!" Now people say the same about conceptual writing, often taking the title of the recent anthology Against Expression to mean "against feelings." But these misreadings amount to a refusal to think about what feelings really are and how they work. Intellectually charged writing doesn't avoid feelings, or come at their expense, and no one I know doing it thinks that way. So I decided to just go ahead and ask Diana Hamilton: Why Cry?
Here's her answer:
Five years ago, I wanted to write a book called Let It Out that was going to be about all of the things that could be released: tears, waistlines, animals, prisoners. There was a terrible "song" about setting turtles free, if I remember. I started this book in part because of my new office job, where I found out quickly how feelings take the shape of the rooms they happen in, and how everything I felt was felt first by the internet.
Of course the eventual book was called something else, and it was about something else, too: instead of a banal celebration of the expression of the otherwise unexpressed, it became a banal repository for some means of repression; it had advice, which I like to give and get; it had floorplans, which felt emotional for me; it turned out, more than anything, to be about women, whom I also like, and who sometimes feel things.
In the end, I wanted to write about emotion in a way that dealt both with the limited forms for its expression — oh, so your boyfriend left you, and you want to die, and you dislike your job, and you cry every time you come—you are a very unsurprising person whose experience needs no innovation for representation — and which treated the feelings seriously anyway—as in old movies that make no pretense to surprise endings or well-rounded characters.
And at the same time, I didn't plan to "write" it, either because I hadn't yet learned how to write, or, more precisely, because not-writing it taught me how to write, or because it was clear that it didn't need writing, or because repetition isn't only what repression causes; it's also a means of repression's interruption. And still, I had a notion of writing something that someone would Read, alone, crying, and the unlikeliness of that goal made it good. By the time I was proofing it for publication, it had become an autobiography; I was sobbing on the ground outside of the building I taught in; I had forgotten I hadn't written any of the sentences; many people have assumed the woman on the cover is me, etc., &c. If the book's wholesale appropriation of others' language started out as an accident of poetry-world context or personal preference, it wound up necessary: the stylistic flattening out of others' experiences via writing felt to me like a protection from experience's becoming generic.
And in thinking about how something general about a certain emotional experience could be formally registered in language as poetry, I tried to invent Spiritual Poetry, which I haven't yet invented — but when I do, it will also probably involve Feelings, because Poetry sometimes does.
