The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) promotes volunteering and civic engagement through a variety of federally funded programs, such as AmeriCorps. In 2009, Congress passed the Serve America Act (Pub. L. No. 111-13), which made substantial changes to CNCS' mission. The Act authorized an increase in the number of service opportunities administered by CNCS, from 88,000 in 2010 to 250,000 by 2017; created new programs; and directed CNCS to focus more on evaluating its programs' performance to ensure cost-effectiveness and the effective use of volunteers, among other factors. To assist the Congress in its oversight role, GAO reviewed: (1) To what extent do the corporation's current performance measures align with the corporation's strategic goals? (2) To what extent do the corporation's performance measures provide a reliable way to assess progress in achieving the corporation's strategic goals? and (3) What progress has the corporation made in developing new performance measures for each of its national service programs?
This report conveys the following findings: 1) The performance measures CNCS currently uses are poorly aligned with its three strategic goals because they do not reflect the four characteristics GAO has identified for sound sets of performance measures. Specifically, the current performance measures (1) do not demonstrate results, (2) are not limited to the vital few measures, (3) do not respond to multiple priorities, and (4) are not linked to the responsible programs. 2) Weaknesses in CNCS' processes for verifying performance data raise concerns about the reliability of the self-reported data CNCS receives from grantees. CNCS relies heavily on self-reported performance data from its grantees, but it conducts limited reviews of those data. Senior CNCS officials raised concerns with its processes for ensuring the reliability of performance data in several areas. 3) CNCS is developing a new 5 year strategic plan with performance measures that focus on measuring the results for its programs. CNCS officials are planning to finalize and approve the new strategic plan, including new performance measures, in October 2010. Although CNCS is making progress developing new performance measures as part of the new 5 year strategic plan, officials will face several challenges in developing its new 5 year plan--a period of great expansion for the corporation. For example, CNCS must develop performance measures that accommodate the differences among its programs and focus on outcomes so that they can be used to better inform strategic decision making. 1) First, given the breadth of activities undertaken by CNCS' grantees and sponsoring organizations, it will be challenging for the corporation to determine the most important areas for achievement through service and create strategic goals that effectively reflect them. 2) Second, in addition to CNCS' five major programs, the Serve America Act creates a number of new programs for the corporation to implement and oversee over the next 5 years. It will be challenging to evaluate and distill the differences among existing and those new programs into a few vital CNCS performance measures that focus on outcomes and can be used to better inform strategic decision making. 3) Third, the Serve America Act authorizes a near-tripling of new service opportunities over the period covered by the new strategic plan. It has been a challenge for the corporation to ensure it has an effective and uniform system to verify and validate data submitted by grantees with its current membership caseload, and it could have three times as many by 2017. CNCS will not be able to reliably assess its own performance in meeting its goals if the data submitted by its grantees and sponsoring organizations are not accurate.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Chief Executive Officer of CNCS should determine the most important areas for service and create strategic goals that effectively reflect them.
Agency Affected: Corporation for National and Community Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Corporation for National and Community Service issued its 5-year strategic plan. The strategic plan was developed based on where the agency believed national service created the most value for the nation: disaster services, economic opportunity,education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families. The plan identified 4 strategic goals and outlined the associated performance measures to be used in tracking progress in achieving those goals.
Recommendation: The Chief Executive Officer of CNCS should create an effective and uniform system to verify and validate performance data submitted by grantees.
Agency Affected: Corporation for National and Community Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: CNCS has done a significant amount of work in response to this recommendation. CNCS has created a new monitoring protocol using five key data quality elements, while also ensuring alignment with the larger CNCS effort to create and implement new performance measures in support of the 2011-2015 strategic plan. CNCS has developed supporting resources and training materials for staff and is currently rolling out materials internally and implementing the first phase of dialogues with grantees this fiscal quarter.

Shifting plant phenology in response to global change
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 22, Issue 7, 1 July 2007, Pages 357-365
Elsa E. Cleland, Isabelle Chuine, Annette Menzel, Harold A. Mooney and Mark D. Schwartz
AbstractPlants are finely tuned to the seasonality of their environment, and shifts in the timing of plant activity (i.e. phenology) provide some of the most compelling evidence that species and ecosystems are being influenced by global environmental change. Researchers across disciplines have observed shifting phenology at multiple scales, including earlier spring flowering in individual plants and an earlier spring green-up' of the land surface revealed in satellite images. Experimental and modeling approaches have sought to identify the mechanisms causing these shifts, as well as to make predictions regarding the consequences. Here, we discuss recent advances in several fields that have enabled scaling between species responses to recent climatic changes and shifts in ecosystem productivity, with implications for global carbon cycling.

Tree seasonality in a warming climate
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 16, Issue 8, 1 August 2011, Pages 412-416
Heikki Hänninen and Karen Tanino
AbstractClimate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling. Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events, also a further extension of the growing season by delayed growth cessation is often projected. However, ecophysiological studies indicate that, for boreal and temperate trees, such generalisations are precluded owing to differential climatic conditions and inter- and intraspecific genetic differences. The annual cycle of these trees is an integrated system, where one phase affects subsequent phases, resulting in delayed impacts, which are only partially addressed in current ecophysiological models. Here, we outline an updated integrated conceptual model of the annual cycle by identifying ecophysiological phenomena that are particularly significant under climate warming.

Climate change and trophic interactions
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, 1 April 1999, Pages 146-150
Richard Harrington, Ian Woiwod and Tim Sparks
AbstractWith confirmation of anthropogenically induced climate change, the spotlight is on biologists to predict and detect effects on populations. The complexity of interactions within and between the biotic and abiotic components involved makes this a tough challenge, and most studies have consequently considered effects of only single climate variables on single species. However, some have gone further, and recently published long-term datasets now offer opportunities that complement new experimental approaches that span trophic levels. With these datasets, predicting relative shifts in temporal and spatial associations could be among the most tractable problems.

Biological consequences of global warming: is the signal already apparent?
Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are expected to have significant impacts on the world's climate on a timescale of decades to centuries. Evidence from long-term monitoring studies is now accumulating and suggests that the climate of the past few decades is anomalous compared with past climate variation, and that recent climatic and atmospheric trends are already affecting species physiology, distribution and phenology.

They are most commonly seen picked, in their 'rollmop' form, however are also tasty simply fried. Follow the below recipe to get some delicious rollmops that will keep for up to a month. Yummy in a salad, on toasted rye bread, or munched on simply alone.
Recipe adapted from the fabulous one by dear Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Recipe Ingredients (Makes 2 x 500 ml jars): 6 fresh herrings, fillets of (scaled and pin-boned) 500 ml white wine vinegar 250 ml cider 12 allspice berries 3 juniper berries 12 black peppercorns 6 bay leaves 1 tbsp light brown sugar 1 tsp mustard seeds Zest slices from 1 large orange 1/2 bunch fresh dill 60 g salt 500 ml water |
1. Submerge the herring fillets in the salt and water and leave to brine for at least 2 hours, chilled.
2. While that's going on, make the pickling liquor. Put all the ingredients except the fresh dill into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and leave to cool.
3. After two hours, take the fillets out of the brine and pat dry. Roll the fillets up, skin side out, from tail to head end and pack into the jars, along with the dill. Pour the liquor over the top so it covers the fish. Seal the jars and put in the refrigerator for 3 days to pickle. They'll be best after around 5 and will keep for up to a month, refrigerated.

JAY — Green Mountain Power wants permission to install equipment that will boost the amount of electricity that its turbines in the Lowell Mountain wind project can put out in the New England grid.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Lowell wind operators noticed Tuesday that three of the 21 turbines were not producing electricity. They said capacity has been curtailed by ISO-New England, which runs the New England grid.
That was a concern of the head of the governor's Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission, which was on a tour of the wind project Tuesday.
Green Mountain Power is asking the Vermont Public Service Board to approve its plan.

World Inline Hockey Championships Blog, Day 4, Part 1
Alex DeYoung is a goaltender representing the United States with the Team USA Junior Men's Inline Hockey Team in the 2012 Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS) World Championships in Bucaramanga, Colombia from June 30 to July 14. Alex is a high school student in Northern Virginia, and the only member of the 16-player team from Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area. Over the next few weeks, he will be writing about the tournament from his perspective.
When we got to the arena for our first practice in Colombia, we were escorted by the police to our dressing rooms. The arena was built just for this event, and it looked like it could hold well over 5,000 people. After we were fully dressed we sat in the arena and watched the Czechs finish their practice.
The floor felt much more slippery than the Deerfield Beach Rink in Miami. The nets here are 3x5 feet and aren't rounded on the corners, so they'll take some getting used to. We watched the Women's USA Team practice for 30 minutes, then started our practice, and switched on and off the rink with them for two hours. After the Women's team finished their practice, we were approached by the Brazilian Junior Men's team to scrimmage.
Our team controlled the puck during most of the scrimmage and scored tons of backdoor-pass goals. The other team's goalies were very athletic and could all do the splits. Their shooters were fast and had very hard shots, but they had trouble stickhandling and making passes. Our team was still getting used to each other at first, but after a few minutes we were making behind-the-back, no-look passes and cycling the puck perfectly. We didn't keep score, but I'd say we had around 9 goals on the other team.
Later tonight we have team dinner and opening ceremonies at the rink.

With partners contributions matching BCIs at a 10-to-1 ratio, we supported 19 projects across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, for a total of $562,000-worth of priority conservation, education, and research efforts. Currently under review for 1999 are 36 new grant applications.
* Surveyed an important Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) cave in the Grand Canyon. Advised the National Park Service on how to recover the caves dwindling bat colony by reducing human access and removing historic guano-mining equipment from the bats flight path.
* Facilitated the October meeting of the Northeast Bat Working Group, a coalition of researchers and managers from 22 northeastern states.
* Continued sponsorship of successful Cave Gating Workshops. Eleven participants constructed two gates on a cave system in West Virginia that is the largest maternity site in the state for endangered Virginia big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus). Other sponsors included the U.S. Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, American Cave Conservation Association, and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources.
* Inventoried bat species at five sites in New Mexico to aid conservation planning for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
* Presented the latest imperatives for bat conservation at professional and special-interest conferences across the U.S., including the National Association of Conservation Districts Annual Meeting and the National Speleological Society Convention.
North American Bat House Research Project
* Initiated a new Bat House Certification Program to help manufacturers improve their bat house designs, construction, materials, and installation instructions. To date, nine models from five manufacturers have been approved.
* Demonstrated through Research Associate testing that nursery-style bat houses (three or more cham-bers, 15 inches or deeper), mounted prior to 1998, achieved a 75 percent occupancy rate when placed 10 feet or higher on a pole or building within a quarter mile of a permanent water source.
Latin America Bat Conservation Initiative (PCMM)
* Sponsored the founding of the Program for the Conservation of Bolivian Bats, the first initiative of its kind in South America.
* Created a new Spanish-language education kit focusing on bats in urban areas. Pilot-tested the kit in several major Mexican cities.
* Sponsored conservation research in 12 Mexican states that led to identification and protection of previously unknown migratory corridors and roosts.
Workshops / Education
* Co-hosted a day-long training on bat curriculum for 40 educators at the North American Symposium on Bat Research.
* Delivered the keynote address at the International Bat Festival, hosted by Carlsbad Caverns National Park and the City of Carlsbad, New Mexico.
* Demonstrated how to incorporate bats into classroom and outdoor lessons to 1,000 educators at the annual meeting of the North American Association of Environmental Education.
North American Bats and Mines Project
* Established a new partnership with the U.S. Office of Surface Mining and signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining future bat protection activities.
* Installed temperature monitors and completed bat surveys of the Magazine Mine in Illinois with the U.S. Forest Service, the Illinois Natural Resources Department, and Unimin Corporation. Since one entrance of this mine was gated in 1996, bat numbers, including endangered Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis), are increasing.
* Educated more than 400 wildlife and mine managers about bats at the Mine Design, Closure, and Operations Conference in Montana and the National Association of State Mine-Land Reclamationists Conference in New Mexico.
* Constructed three gates at the Kiggins Mine, one of the few known hibernation sites for Townsends big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii) in Oregon, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service.
* Surveyed the hazardous Pilot Knob Mine in Missouri, once an important hibernation site for approximately 139,000 endangered Indiana bats.
* Conducted an inventory of bat species in New Mexicos Socorro Resource Area with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the University of New Mexico, to help BLM managers reduce impacts on bats.
Public Outreach
* Informed millions of National Public Radio listeners about bats through the live Science Fridays program. Reached additional millions through a Dateline NBC interview with Merlin Tuttle and the Discovery Channels feature on Drs. Gary McCracken and John Westbrooks BCI-sponsored Bats Aloft research [BATS, Fall 1996].
* Gained broad exposure through a variety of print media including the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Boston Globe newspapers; and Discover, National Geographic World and Disney Animal Adventure magazines.

Tragic Death and Legacy
Although her television series ended, Garland was still in demand as an entertainer, playing gigs around the world. But her personal life was as troubled as ever. After many separations, Garland divorced Luft in 1965 after a bitter battle over child custody. She quickly remarried—this time to actor Mark Herron. But that union lasted only a few months before dissolving. (The pair later officially divorced in 1967.) In 1967,
Garland made a critically acclaimed return to Broadway for At Home at the Palace.
The next year, Garland went to London. She was in personal and financial trouble by this time. Making some performances at London's Talk of the Town nightclub, Garland was clearly not in good shape on stage. She wed former bandleader and club manager Mickey Deans a few months before her death in 1969. Judy Garland died on June 22, 1969, in London, England, reportedly of an accidental overdose.
The legacy of Garland has been carried on by her daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft, both of whom are singers and have had varying degrees of success. Lorna wrote about her life with Garland in her 1998 autobiography, Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir. It became the basis for the 2001 television mini-series Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows. Both of the actresses playing Judy—Tammy Blanchard as young Judy and Judy Davis as more mature Judy—took home Emmy Awards for their portrayals of the famed entertainer.
Nearly 40 years after her death, Garland continues to maintain a devoted following. There are countless fan sites online as well as published biographies that explore almost every aspect of her life—from her brilliant talent, her professional successes and failures, and her myriad of personal struggles. In celebration of the late star, the Judy Garland Museum at her birthplace holds an annual festival.

question about ff
maybe you could start a new league that would draft before oct. 15th, but joining an existing league now after a draft? i dont think so, and even if ya could, unless it was a 4 team league, you'll have no players worth a damn to put on your roster.
"the only diffrence between suicide and martyrdom is the press coverage"

question about ff
No i mean join or start the league on here at the pp ffl and even hold a live draft or just do the computerized draft.
But i doubt you could join the on on here already.Hupo oe ke kau ana i ka waiupa a ma kou pa o & Hupo na Po o waiupa a

Professor Kull received his A.B. degree in chemistry and biology in 1988 from Dartmouth College. He received a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1996 from the University of California, San Francisco. In 1998, following a postdoc at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in San Francisco, he moved to the Department of Biophysics at the Max-Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. In Heidelberg, professor Kull's lab has continued to use X-ray crystallography as a tool to study structure-function relationships in force generating proteins. He joined the Dartmouth faculty in Fall 2001. |
Position: Associate Professor of Chemistry
E-Mail: F. Jon Kull
Research Group Web Site
Our laboratory uses biophysical techniques to study protein structure and function. Our primary tool is X-ray crystallography, but we supplement this powerful technique with site-directed mutagenesis, steady state and pre-steady state kinetics, isothermal titration calorimetry, dynamic light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation. Our goal is to understand at a fundamental level the conformational changes that occur in proteins as they complete the various cellular functions. Armed with this knowledge, we then apply our fundamental understanding of structure/function relationships in order to address the issues of molecular disease. There are currently two major areas of research in the laboratory:
Molecular motor proteins are practically ubiquitous in cellular activities requiring movement, and mutations in motors or defects in motor regulation can have drastic effects. In order to understand the consequences of these defects, we are determining the detailed structural mechanisms employed by cytoskeletal proteins in order to 1) produce directed force along protein filaments and 2) mediate interactions with their various intra- or intermolecular protein targets. For ATP-driven molecular motors, as well as the GTP-driven G-protein family of molecular switches, conformational states are governed by the presence or absence of the nucleotideγ-phosphate. An intriguing question is how such a small conformational change can be sensed by the protein and amplified, sometimes by several orders of magnitude, in order to achieve the various cellular functions of these proteins. We are currently focusing on determining the structures of various unconventional myosins and kinesins, as well as the structures of these motors in complex with their filamentous tracks.
Structural Analysis of Bacterial Virulence Regulators
Vibrio cholerae causes the frequently fatal epidemic diarrheal disease cholera. The expression of its two primary virulence factors, toxin-coregulated pilus and cholera toxin, occurs via a transcriptional cascade involving several activator proteins and serves as a paradigm for the regulation of bacterial virulence. AphA and AphB initiate the expression of the cascade by an as yet not understood synergistic interaction at the tcpPH promoter. ToxT, an AraC-type regulator, then directly activates the promoters of the primary virulence factors. Transcriptional activation at these various promoters occurs only in response to certain environmental stimuli. Such regulation is widespread among bacterial pathogens and allows productive infections to be mounted only in the appropriate biological niches. A fourth protein, HapR is a negative regulator of virulence gene expression that functions to repress expression at the aphA promoter, thereby coordinating quorum sensing regulation with pathogenesis. The long term goals of the work in this project are to understand the molecular basis for this regulation by environmental stimuli so as to facilitate the development of better strategies to prevent and cure bacterial diseases. This project aims to explore the structure/function relationships of four cytoplasmic virulence gene regulator proteins in V. cholerae, AphA, AphB, and ToxT, at their cognate promoters by obtaining high resolution structures of them in the absence and presence of their binding sites. In combination with ongoing mutational studies, the work will significantly increase our understanding of how these proteins activate virulence gene expression, will serve as models for these regulatory protein family members in other bacterial pathogens, and will advance efforts to identify molecules that may function as novel therapeutics.

Merry Christmas everyone!
One of my presents was this book, and while I'm just starting to look over it I gotta say it's terrific. All sorts of concept art including items by Herb Ryman, Marc Davis, Mary Blair, Dorethea Redmond and Harper Goff. Marc Davis' illustration of Pirate Bay just blew me away, just brought back the feel of perhaps my favorite scene anywhere in WDW.

[JURIST] Leaders of Nepal's Maoist rebel insurgency [BBC backgrounder] on Sunday called for an interim constitution to be enacted before a special assembly gathers to draft a new charter. The Maoists and a seven-party alliance of opposition political parties joined forces in a number of pro-democracy protests [JURIST news archive] last month which led to King Gyanedra [official profile] reinstating parliament [JURIST report] at the end of April. The new parliament has voted to hold elections for a constituent assembly [JURIST report] to re-write the current constitution [text], but the Maoists are calling for an interim government and interim constitution in the meantime. The rebellion was in response to King Gyanedra's seizure of the government and dismissal of elected officials [JURIST report] in February 2005, which he said was in response to 13,000 deaths caused by the Maoist insurgency. The rebels have recently agreed to the new cabinet's call for peace talks. A cease-fire has been in effect since the reinstatement of democracy and the government agreed to drop terrorism charges against rebel leaders. AP has more.
[JURIST] Serbian police launched a full scale search on Sunday for Bosnian war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic [ICTY case backgrounder, JURIST news archive] but were unable to arrest the former Bosnian Serb army commander wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website] on genocide charges. The European Union called off membership talks [JURIST report] with Serbia [JURIST news archive] last week over the country's failure to deliver Mladic [JURIST report] to the war crimes tribunal by the end of April as promised [JURIST report].In an interview with Serbian daily Blic [media website, in English], Serbia-Montenegro's foreign minister Vuk Draskovic [BBC profile] called for the dismissal of top security officials [AP report] after recent high-profile raids failed to deliver Mladic. Authorities have detained [JURIST report] ten of Mladic's possible contacts over the past few months, including his son, Darko. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] US President George W. Bush said Sunday that closing the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archives] is a possibility in the future depending on the US Supreme Court's decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld [Duke Law case backgrounder; JURIST report], which will determine the legality of military trials for Guantanamo detainees. The Court's decision on whether military commissions [JURIST news archive] for foreign terror suspects can proceed is expected by the end of June. In an interview [transcript] with German TV station ARD [media website, in German] that will be broadcast Sunday night, Bush said that he would like to close the prison and place the detainees on trial. Many human rights groups have criticized the US for inhumane treatment of Guantanamo detainees [HRW backgrounder] and the United Nations has called for the US to close Guantanamo [JURIST report], but the US government has in the past defended the facility [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.In the UK, meanwhile, British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith [official profile] will take a strong stand against alleged abuse at Guantanamo and join other UK officials [JURIST report] in urging the US to close Guantanamo. Goldsmith is planning on speaking on the closure of Guantanamo at a global security conference at the Royal United Services Institute this week. US officials had previously discussed [JURIST report] the closure of Guantanamo with British officials. The Observer has local coverage.
[JURIST] Israeli police on Sunday evicted a group of Jewish settlers squatting in a Palestinian house in the West Bank city of Hebron, a region where Jewish settlement is no longer allowed. Three settler families left peacefully, but police scuffled with two dozen teenagers who initially refused to leave the house. 19 settlers were arrested. This evacuation, the first test of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert [BBC profile] since taking over office, may be indicative of Olmert's future actions involving the completion of Israel's security fence [IDF website] around Jerusalem and the West Bank. Olmert stressed Sunday that the government would take an uncompromising approach to any Jewish settlers who choose to break the law.The settlers claimed the house had been purchased legally from a Palestinian family, but Palestinian groups denied their claims. The Israeli Supreme Court [official website] ordered the eviction of the settlers Thursday, pending review of the home's ownership. Reuters has more. Haaretz has local coverage.
[JURIST] Opposition lawmakers in Thailand [JURIST news archive] are planning lawsuits against the Thai Election Commission (EC) [official website] over last months troubled parliamentary election [BBC report]. Suthep Thuagsuban, secretary general of the Democrat Party [party website, in Thai; Wikipedia backgrounder], has said that he will file a criminal lawsuit against four EC members, alleging they violated election laws by helping members of certain political parties. The Democrat Party itself is also planning a separate lawsuit against the Election Commission. The Constitutional Court of Thailand [official website] will decide Monday whether to void the April 2 elections [JURIST report], and the court is expected to nullify the results [Reuters report]. Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej [official profile] called on the court, along with the country's Supreme Court and Administrative Court, late last month to take a more active role [JURIST report] in resolving the country's ongoing election crisis [JURIST report]. Suthep said that his lawsuit is not meant to influence the Constitutional Court's decision. TNA has more.
[JURIST] Iranian lawmakers have sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan [official profile; BBC profile] threatening to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [PDF text], which it signed in 1968, if "the U.N. Secretary General and other members of the U.N. Security Council fail in their crucial responsibility to resolve differences peacefully." The letter was read aloud on state-run radio on Sunday. Under Article 10 of the NPT:
Each Party shall in exercising its national sovereignty have the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this Treaty, have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country. It shall give notice of such withdrawal to all other Parties to the Treaty and to the United Nations Security Council three months in advance. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordinary events it regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.

A spectacular cycling holiday in France and Italy climbing the Bonnette, Izoard, Galibier, Croix de Fer and Alpe d'Huez passes, tracing through the path used in the Tour de France.
Calling all cyclists looking for a challenge.! Following on from the success of our 'Classic Cols of the Tour de France' trip in the Pyrenees, we are excited to offer a great new alpine version of one of our most popular cycling holidays in France.
In recent years the Tour has often headed across the border into Italy, so we follow suit by starting our ride in the charming town of Cuneo. From here we warm up on a few lesser-known cols before heading back into France in search of some of the most iconic climbs in cycling history.
The first big challenge is the Col de la Bonnette, at 2802m the highest col in Europe and a favourite of Robert Millar. From here on the legendary climbs come in quick succession as we make our way across the spectacular alps over the cols of Vars, Izoard, Galibier and Croix de Fer. Although the distances aren't excessive, there is enough climbing each day to challenge even the fittest riders, but you are free to ride at your own pace.
We finish the route by tackling the famous 21 hairpins bends to Alpe d'Huez, a memorable finish to a memorable trip!

Inside Collection (Course): Introduction to Compressive Sensing
Summary: This module outlines the connection between compressive sensing and random projections of manifolds.
A powerful data model for many applications is the geometric notion
of a low-dimensional manifold. Data that possesses merely
In many applications, it is beneficial to explicitly characterize the structure (alternately, identify the parameters) of the manifold formed by a set of observed signals. This is known as manifold learning and has been the subject of considerable study over the last several years; well-known manifold learning algorithms include Isomap [6], LLE [5], and Hessian eigenmaps [2]. An informal example is as follows: if a 2-dimensional manifold were to be imagined as the surface of a twisted sheet of rubber, manifold learning can be described as the process of "unraveling" the sheet and stretching it out on a 2D flat surface. Figure 2 indicates the performance of Isomap on a simple 2-dimensional dataset comprising of images of a translating disk.
A linear, nonadaptive manifold dimensionality reduction technique has recently been introduced that
employs the technique of random projections [1]. Consider a
This result has far reaching implications; it suggests that a wide variety of signal processing tasks can be performed directly on the random projections acquired by these devices, thus saving valuable sensing, storage and processing costs. In particular, this enables provably efficient manifold learning in the projected domain [4]. Figure 3 illustrates the performance of Isomap on the translating disk dataset under varying numbers of random projections.
The advantages of random projections extend even to cases where the
original data is available in the ambient space
In situations where
As an alternative, every camera could encode its image by computing (either directly or indirectly) a small number of random projections to communicate to the central processor [3]. These random projections are obtained by linear operations on the data, and thus are cheaply computed. Clearly, in many situations it will be less expensive to store, transmit, and process such randomly projected versions of the sensed images. The method of random projections is thus a powerful tool for ensuring the stable embedding of low-dimensional manifolds into an intermediate space of reasonable size. It is now possible to think of settings involving a huge number of low-power devices that inexpensively capture, store, and transmit a very small number of measurements of high-dimensional data.

Do you need to use a steel leader for walleyes?
The only time I have used wire was when Pike were a problem!
Eyes are not line shy, but I still use florocarbon when tying leaders. anywhere from 8# to 14 # test.
So my answer is no. Mono or floro is best.

Chad Pennington tears ACL
Chad Pennington's body has failed him once again. According to reports, the 34-year old free agent quarterback tore his ACL in a pickup basketball game. That may be all she wrote for Pennington, who's had an up and down career highlighted by being the NFL's all time completion percentage leader and a two-time Comeback Player of the Year award winner.
He was already attempting to rehab from his fourth shoulder injury, which would have figured to scare away most possible suitors whenever free agency began. Jeff Ireland was on record saying that the Dolphins would wait until Chad was further along in the rehabilitation process to decide if they would be interested in resigning him. But now that he will likely miss the entire 2011 season, it's hard to imagine Pennington ever stepping foot onto an NFL field again as a player.
I'm sure the Dolphins would be thrilled if Pennington was willing to join the coaching staff, as a guy who's always been one of the smartest players in the league, but he's always said that his heart is in coaching high school football. Wherever his path takes him, one thing is for sure, he'll always have a home in South Florida. This franchise was truly blessed to have the New York Jets kick Pennington to the curve in 2008. Without him, one of the most memorable seasons in team history never happens.

Frank Zappa
With more than 80 albums to his credit, composer/bandleader Frank Zappa demonstrated a mastery of pop idioms ranging from jazz to rock of every conceivable variety, penned electronic and orchestral works, parlayed controversial satire, and testified in Congress against censorship. Zappa was impatient with any division between popular and high art; he combined scatological humor with political wit, required of his players an intimidating skill, and displayed consistent innovation in instrumental and studio technology.

By Rex Crum, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Technology stocks turned their backs on the previous day's losses to post a slate of broad gains Thursday, led upward by Yahoo Inc. and e-commerce players such as Amazon.com and eBay.
The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.63% , which contains many leading tech stocks, outpaced the other major U.S. market gauges, rising 42 points, or 1.4%, to close at 3,136. Tech stocks were also the top-gaining sector on the S&P 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.51% , which climbed almost 1%
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index /quotes/zigman/1468249/realtime SOX -0.55% also had a solid day, rising more than 2%.
Among leading tech stocks, Yahoo Inc. /quotes/zigman/59898/delayed/quotes/nls/yhoo YHOO -1.29% shares rose 2.8%, to $16.04. Goldman Sachs analyst Heath Terry reinstated coverage of Yahoo with a buy rating and $22-a-share price target. In a research note, Terry said that in spite of many issues, including the lack of a mobile strategy, Yahoo still commands a strong presence in the online market.

H-P /quotes/zigman/229301/delayed/quotes/nls/hpq HPQ +0.03% shares edged up by 12 cents to clsoe at $17.23 despite a ratings cut by Jefferies analyst Peter Misek, who lowered his view on H-P to underperform, or sell, from hold.

I have been to KW many times and have stayed at many of the different Hotels and Cottages in the area. Some are better than other....many don't offer much to speak of. However, we were pleasantly surprised with Key West Old Town Suites (Conch Republic Cottage Suites). The value for service was better than excellent and the Inn keepers are friendly and flexible. Also, you can't beat the location. We will definitely return to this one....maybe for a week next time!! :)
