The District of Columbia can benefit from Height Modernization because accurate heights support critical infrastructure including transportation systems, airplane runways and water delivery systems. Additionally, DC is vulnerable to hazards such as hurricanes, nor'easters, and changing sea levels that will place some areas at risk from coastal storm surge and flooding. Height Modernization will support emergency management planning, land use planning and management, and elevation changes monitoring to help address these additional challenges.
The 2011 earthquake near Washington, D.C., shook the nation's capital with enough force to damage the Washington Monument, but not all effects of the earthquake are visible to the naked eye. Experts from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) completed a leveling survey that will help determine whether the ground underneath the Monument shifted because of the quake. This is the first phase of a planned longer-term effort to assist the National Park Service (NPS) by regularly surveying the grounds of the National Mall.
For additional inquiries, contact the State Geodetic Advisor Program or the National Height Modernization Program directly. State geodetic advisors serve as liaisons between NOAA and regional or state organizations.

We are profoundly disappointed by today's verdict and sentence. Alan Gross has been accused of doing nothing more than giving peaceful people access to the internet, and for this he has already been unjustly imprisoned for more than a year without the benefit of due process and in violation of international law. In light of the critical medical situation confronting Alan and his family, we urge the Cuban government to release him immediately on humanitarian grounds and quickly return him to his family.
Until recently, the historically strained relations between the US and Cuba had shown signs of improvement. Earlier this year, President Obama [official profile] ordered [JURIST report] the Departments of State, Treasury, and Homeland Security [official websites] to take steps to ease restrictions on travel and remittances [press release] to Cuba. The new regulations, to be promulgated as modifications of the Cuban Assets Control [31 CFR § 515.101 et seq.] and Customs and Border Protection [19 CFR § 122.151 et seq.] regulations, will allow greater travel from the US to Cuba for religious and educational purposes, the transfer of up to $2000 per year to non-family members in Cuba so long as they are not senior government or Communist Party leaders, and will allow all US international airports to service charter flights between the two countries.

A Search Strategy of Level-Based Flooding for the Internet of Things

Abstract: This paper deals with the query problem in the Internet of Things (IoT). Flooding is an important query strategy. However, original flooding is prone to cause heavy network loads. To address this problem, we propose a variant of flooding, called Level-Based Flooding (LBF). With LBF, the whole network is divided into several levels according to the distances (i.e., hops) between the sensor nodes and the sink node. The sink node knows the level information of each node. Query packets are broadcast in the network according to the levels of nodes. Upon receiving a query packet, sensor nodes decide how to process it according to the percentage of neighbors that have processed it. When the target node receives the query packet, it sends its data back to the sink node via random walk. We show by extensive simulations that the performance of LBF in terms of cost and latency is much better than that of original flooding, and LBF can be used in IoT of different scales.

Re: ChambersHe's got the #4 in his mouth in the photo. Is that foreshadowing to the number of years he'll get under the new punishment hierarchy?
Re: ChambersMonty testified today:
"One of the sources who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity said the grand jury is "looking at at least five different drugs -- steroids, hormones, THG, modafinil, EPO."" AP article that is also in the THG section of this board: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... ST0289.DTL
Re: ChambersThe one consistent aspect that connects all of the athletes called before this committee is that their performances make a person shake one's head.
Chrystie Gaines has been around for years, now all of sudden she is this fast. Montgomery was never really that good, until all of sudden he got good. Regina Jacobs has defied age in a head-shaking manner. Each of these athlete's improvement or ability to improve with advanced age is highly suspect.

Writing Center
As an academic support resource of Berry College, the Writing Center practices high standards of academic integrity, professional responsibility, and confidentiality. In addition to the Center's philosophy of working from higher order conceptual concerns to later order (sentence level) concerns, peer writing tutors take a three-hour academic course and learn how to employ minimalist tutoring tactics that engage students in active learning. Tutors are also coached not to appropriate student ideas or to write on student texts; rather than merely helping to create a better paper, tutors help students obtain a critical perspective on their writing and the habits of mind and hand needed to revise it.
Please note: summary reports of each tutoring session are sent to the respective professor provided the tutor receives the student's consent.
If you would like a brief classroom presentation for your students about what we offer at the Writing Center, please contact the Director at email@example.com

CLEVELAND (AP) — Pedro Alvarez had one of his best games yet. Still, it was a win by the Pittsburgh Pirates that had him really excited.
Alvarez drove in a career-high six runs with his second two-homer game in two days, powering Pittsburgh past the Cleveland Indians 9-5 Sunday.
"I'm just glad to help us win the series," Alvarez said as music blared in the clubhouse following the Pirates' second victory in three games, giving them a sixth series win in their last seven matchups.
Alvarez seemed unfazed by his own accomplishment — hitting three-run homers in the fourth and fifth innings for his fourth career multihomer game. He also doubled, for his first game of three extra-base hits.
His previous two multihomer games also came in consecutive games, July 20-21 against Milwaukee.
"It's just coincidence," Alvarez said of homering twice in consecutive games once again.
Manager Clint Hurdle said Alvarez has worked hard to lift his average to .207 with a team-high 12 homers and 34 RBIs, three behind team leader Andrew McCutchen. Alvarez has 10 RBIs in four games after going 10 games without any.
"He's worked hard to get to a better place," Hurdle said. "He drove one ball to right, then took advantage of a mistake and hit another. He had a very good day at the plate."
Tony Watson (4-0), the second of five Pirates pitchers, worked 1 2-3 innings of relief for the win.
Jeanmar Gomez (4-6) allowed eight runs — four earned — over 4 1-3 innings for Cleveland, which lost for the fifth time in six games. Eight runs came directly after three errors by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.

The Right Way to Shuck an Oyster
Once the province of high-performance cars with fighter-jet pretensions (see Corvette), a heads-up display function was one of the pleasant surprises we discovered in the four-cylinder Buick LaCrosse with eAssist. We found ourselves thinking, "Why doesn't every car have this?" Soon, Pioneer will sell a system that you can install in any car. Mercedes and Audi are working on gesture-based displays, and GM is tinkering with a system that uses lasers to augment the reality beyond the windshield. (Looking for a chalupa? There's a laser-outlined Taco Bell right over there!) But frankly, all we really need are the basics, as delivered by current systems from GM, BMW, and Audi: speed, navigation, radio stations. Projecting that kind of basic information on the windshield helps refocus your attention to a place where it increasingly isn't: the road. If most new gadgets tend to distract you from the act of driving, it's nice to have at least one that serves as the antidote. Illustration by Larry Jost

Welcome to the first ever post of the Hockey Education Committee, hosted graciously by the PUCK BUNNIES!
The intentions of my soon-to-become incessant posts are to educate those on facets of hockey. Whether it's the game, the league, or the finer details, I hope to enlighten my readers (and myself as well) on the greatest game on ice. If this can consider one more person to start watching hockey, then I'll consider it a success.

Before any of you PUCKHEADS begin to giggle, you should realize that this is something very few non-hockey fans have the slightest clue about.
The Original Six is the name given for the six teams that comprised the entire NHL between 1942 and 1967: Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks.
The Original Six period was formed when the New York Americans suspended operations, and ended in the NHL's great expansion of 1967, when six new teams entered the league.
Of these teams, the Montreal Canadiens were by far the most successful. During the 25-year period, they won 10 Stanley Cups. They also didn't miss the playoffs once between 1949 and 1967, an impressive streak. Chicago was easily the least successful, only winning one Cup and never finishing first in the league.
The Original Six is often hailed as having the "truest" form of hockey in NHL history. The fact that there were so few roster spots available around the league ensured that every game would be akin to an All-Star game in terms of talent level. The game also had more rough play in the Original Six era.
All in all, it was a very significant period in league history. Hockey legends such as Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard, Doug Harvey, Red Kelly, Bobby Hull, Terry Sawchuk, Ted Lindsay, and many more made their mark in the Original Six.
Now, moving on to something more modern...
Who would you say is the best team in the NHL right now? Why?
-Not-So-Diehard Hockey Fan, Germantown, WI
This was an incredibly painful question for me to answer. As you can probably tell, I am a huge Detroit Red Wings fan. Plus, they have an incredible team, and I still consider them my favourite to win the Stanley Cup. Sometimes, though, you just have to face the facts. And the facts are saying that the best team in the NHL right now is the San Jose Sharks.
They have managed to build an incredible team with a great blend of promising upstarts, savvy veterans, and superstars in their prime (Joe Thornton and Dan Boyle). Youngsters Devin Setoguchi and Ryane Clowe are playing great so far this year, and Patrick Marleau and Marc-Edouard Vlasic are bouncing back after less-than-stellar seasons. Everyone seems to be working hard, and really buying in to head coach Todd McLellan's system. Don't forget about their annual Vezina candidate goaltender in Evgeni Nabokov.
Then, there's the fact that all their potential is translating to results on the ice. So far this season, they are 23-3-2, which is absolutely sensational. That's good enough for first in the league.
I don't think they'll end up with the Cup, though. Why? Maybe somebody should ask me that one in a later mailbag.
Who has the most penalty minutes in a single game? How about a single season?
-The Captain, Saint Leo, FL
Randy Holt, formerly of the Los Angeles Kings, holds the record for most penalty minutes in one game. On March 11, 1979 against the Philadelphia Flyers, Holt accumulated an astounding 67 penalty minutes, for one minor penalty, three major penalties, two ten-minute misconducts, and three game misconducts. The guilty act? After picking up a minor penalty, he fought an enforcer, then instigated a bench-clearing brawl. The oddest part about this achievement, though, is that all 67 of his minutes were assessed in the first period.
As for the full season, that honour goes to Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, the chief enforcer for the Philadelphia Flyers during their Broad Street Bullies era of the 1970's. His record of 472 minutes in the 1974-75 season is 63 minutes ahead of the next-closest competitor, Paul Baxter of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1981-82.
That leads me to my final question, one that I needed to ponder for a while to find the right words...
Why are penalty minutes often considered positive, by announcers, Throwdowners, and on fantasy hockey sites?
-The Animal, Telford, PA
The simplest answer is that penalty minutes are the only readily available measure of a player's toughness. You can't find hitting and blocked shot stats without going on a wild goose chase, so we're stuck with penalty minutes as a measure.
Logic dictates that the more an individual hits others, the more penalties he will get. You also get penalty minutes for very good things, such as getting in a fight or preventing a goal. The intrusive one would say, though, "Shouldn't not doing your job well enough not be a cause celebre?"
The fact of the matter is that you won't get penalty minutes if you aren't hustling. The fact that you're racking up the penalties means that you are hustling, playing with guts, and tackling every situation. It shows, basically, that you aren't shying away from the action. THAT can never be a bad thing, and that's why penalty minutes are often glorified.
Feel free to FM me your questions for the next mailbag! For those of you whose questions I have yet to answer, don't worry about it. They'll appear here in no time.
Thanks for reading! I hope you continue following this series.

The Big Picture For The Week Of June 25, 2006
Making everyone happy is not possible and that is that.
So it is with Ben Bernanke and fun bunch as they convene this week to raise rates to 5.25% and follow up with vague statements about their next step.
Hmmm, they are not raising fast enough, they are going too fast, "you know if they did it this way...." and so on.
The Fed is going to do whatever they do this week and chances are you will not be 100% happy. There is even a greater likelihood that things will be no clearer after the statement. If they were data dependent before, wouldn't they have to be data dependent for the rest of the summer if not longer?
There are some differences with life under Ben than Alan. I have heard some say that it makes no sense to blame the Fed for this selloff we have had and while that is probably true, volatility has increased and I do believe that the differing comments (think Yellen compared to Moskowitz) has played a role as Fed comments have caused big moves (if only for a couple of hours) in both directions.
Ben wants to be more direct (or blunt if you please) than Greenspan was. Apparently this has not made a good first impression but we will have to live with it for a while.

A rationale and accurate prediction: no one will be happy. I agree with your comments. Ben has two objectives: convince others that inflation fighting is more important than short term economic grwoth; and, that mob mentality on the street will have to get use to his flexible data dependence stance---he can't be blunt about what can't be predicted. Roger...my question is how will global equity mkts be affected. In the past, basic industrial materials stocks take a sharp downturn...so implied by a news story by street/sector historian Sam Stoval. I think now it MAY BE different--foreign growth in Asia is more independent of our domestic economic forces. Merger appetite in oil and basic industrial matrials is an example of its sustainable strength. IYM (an etf) represents this sector and my bet is that now is a good time to buy it...quite contrary to cnventional wisdom that says beware of reduced liquidity you're better off buying defensive stocks like consumer staples. What do you think?

great question/comment.
What I think will make for a good post. Please check back Monday morning.

",,,data dependent for the rest of the summer..."
I got news for the country, the FED always has and always will be data dependent. The debate is in what data and are they interpreting it properly. I can not believe this data dependent quote has gotten so much press. - 2:43 PM
