Momentum Ski Camps are putting on another edition of Splashdown, with Momentum's all-star roster of coaches engaging in a battle of tricks at the Blackcomb water ramps.
The event, which is open to the public, will showcase many of the world's top freestyle skiers performing high-flying feats. At past versions of Splashdown, a panel of celebrity judges has determined the winning tricks, best spins and biggest splashes in a fun setting.
Among those expected to be participating are reigning AFP men's overall champ Gus Kenworthy, British ski star James Woods and World Cup moguls champ Mikael Kingsbury, plus other members of Canada's freestyle ski teams.
Splashdown takes place Wednesday (July 18) from 4 to 6 p.m. Spectators can walk up or park at Base II to witness all the action.
Farr wins gold, bronze at rowing nationals
Whistler's Sierra Farr celebrated a national championship last month after helping Shawnigan Lake School's junior lightweight fours crew to a gold medal finish at the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Championships.
A Grade 10 student at the Vancouver Island school, it's the second-straight year Farr has brought home hardware from the event in St. Catharines, Ont., having won silver with the crew last year. The Shawnigan squad finished second in the semifinals to Branksome Hall but later beat the Ontario school in the final.
"I did not expect to win at all," said Farr in a release. "I was just hoping to medal and make our coach and everyone proud. But when we did win, it was so nice to know that all the hard work we had been putting in over the year had finally paid off."
Farr also picked up a bronze in the junior girls' eights race alongside many of her teammates winning gold in fours. She'll be competing in the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey later this month.
Meanwhile, fellow Whistler native Rachel Warner earned a bronze while rowing in Shawnigan's senior lightweight fours boat. Warner graduated earlier this year and hopes to continue her rowing career while attending UBC, said the release.
Tight battles in Phat standings
The Kokanee Phat Wednesday race series hit the halfway point with last week's (July 4) fourth race of the season and there are some tight battles brewing for division titles that will take place during the second half of the summer.
More than 265 riders were out for the race down A-Line, After Atlantis, Lower Angry Pirate, World Cup Single Track and B-Line in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. Trev Burke topped them all with a finish time of three minutes, 49.448 seconds, eking out a men's open victory over Dylan Wolsky (+0.231) and Berend Boer (+0.384).
Burke shot up the men's standings with the win, now sitting second for the season with 530 points to series leader Adam Billinghurst's 540. Wins are worth 200 points and the positions that follow are scored on a sliding scale. Nick Geddes, who missed last week's race, sits third at 460.
In men's masters racing, Robin Potvin (3:54.779) hit the podium for the fourth race in a row but earned his first win of the season, beating out Chris Dewar by 0.580 seconds. Potvin sits atop the masters standings with a 55-point lead over last week's third-place finisher, Andrew Gunn.
Sarah Leishman finished in 4:11.576 and edged Katrina Strand by just 0.187 seconds for the women's top spot while strengthening her grip on the series lead. Leishman hasn't finished lower than second in any race and leads Strand by 120 points.
Adison McDonald won the junior male race with an impressive time of 4:00.274 and he continues to lead the category. Jenna Wilkins won the junior female race on July 4 but Ava Buchan is atop the division.
See www.whistlerbike.com for results from last night's (July 11) race, which were not available at press time.

Oscar night at the Nick
Posted 2/27/2013 4:55:00 PM
I've always assumed that most people watch The Academy Awards the same way I have in recent years -- in pajamas and under a blanket. It wasn't until recently that it dawned on me that there are grand parties created around watching the glamorous event on screen.
I was invited to one such party last weekend when a friend called and asked if I wanted to tag along to the
Nickelodeon Theater's
Oscar party in
. I said yes, excited to attend, but not quite knowing what I was in for.
The Nick is South Carolina's only nonprofit art house cinema and has been in operation since 1979. Until 2012 the organization was located in a small space on North Main Street, but with more than 25,000 film-goers attending the theater each year, the staff and board saw the need for a larger space. In addition to the brand new screen, the new space includes an education center and room for special events.
I arrived at 1607 Main St. on Oscar night to find all kinds of fanfare at the front door of the nonprofit cinema. A photographer was taking pictures of guests who had donned formal wear or were paying sartorial homage to their favorite nominees. People mingled in the lobby, sipping wine and nibbling on popcorn and hors d'oeuvres, or were inside the 99-seat theater watching the celebrities make their way down the red carpet on the large, crisp screen.
The friend who invited me also happened to be co-hosting the event, so I had the special privilege of going backstage to talk to her (Anne Postic, otherwise known at
The Shop Tart
and her partner for the night, the fabulous Patti O'Furniture. Patti is a larger-than-life character who can often be found making crowds giggle at many of Columbia's nonprofit events. The character is played by Pat Patterson, a local real estate agent who has a penchant for helping local charities raise as much money as possible through his act. I first met Pat when we were in Leadership Columbia together. His passion for helping others is infectious and we became fast friends.
The vivacious character has been a part of fundraisers all over town for organizations such as the
Columbia Museum of Art
gala and
STSM's Walk A Mile In Her Shoes
. Backstage I was able to get the whole scoop from Anne, her sister Elizabeth (a longtime Nick enthusiast), Patti, and The Nick's executive director, Andy Smith. Elizabeth was busy filling in bubbles on a paper ballot, predicting who would win the various categories in the evening's announcement. "It's kind of like March Madness. The person who knows the least is most likely to win," she chuckled.
Patti has co-hosted the Oscar party for five years. "This is the longest-running charity Oscar party in South Carolina, and the first one in The Nick's new building," she told me as she carefully applied the thickest mascara I've ever seen to her huge lashes. "People get all dolled up and come out ready to enjoy!"
Someone poured a glass of wine for me, but I don't know who because I was so entranced by looking through Patti's eight wardrobe changes. Each outfit paid homage to a different movie or nominee. There were grand tributes to Adele and the movie "Argo," but my absolute favorite was the "Lincoln" tribute, which involved a meeting of a James Bond-esque catlike number topped off with a teeny, tiny top hat perched on Patti's voluminous hair.
Patti was not alone in her wardrobe enthusiasm. I had the chance to speak with Sally Truss, who was visiting the theater for the first time and drove in from Camden for the event. Her outfit was that of a retro screen siren, and she lit up the room when she walked in. "I heard about this event while visiting Le Café Jazz last week," she told me. "I had wanted to do something special for Oscar Night, and when I asked if they had anything going on, they told me that there was a great party happening over here!"
Many others took the opportunity to pay tribute to their favorite movies. "Anna Karenina" was a popular favorite, and one man was even dressed in a garbage bag to show his allegiance to "Silver Linings Playbook."
At the end of the night winners were selected for Best Dressed Man, Best Dressed Woman, and for the Winning Oscar Ballot. Each winner received a $75 gift certificate to The Nickelodeon and a bottle of wine to take home.
Postic sits on the board of the organization and was excited to mingle and chat with the crowd. "It's our first year having the party in the new space," she told me. "We have a great crowd, and the best part is that we are learning about all of the things we can do with this space."
The thing about The Nickelodeon's atmosphere is that it is always fun and always sparks an opportunity to talk and learn. Upcoming films to be shown at the theater include "Amour," "Jail No Bail" (in conjunction with the 1963 Birmingham Project), and "The Room".

[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] on Tuesday vacated [decision, PDF] a 2006 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [official website] rule [Federal Register notice] prohibiting state and local governments from monitoring air pollution below acceptable levels set by the EPA for "stationary" sources such as power plants and factories. The court wrote that the rule violated Title V of the Clean Air Act [text] because the EPA's monitoring protocols themselves violated the Act, and because the rule prevented state and local governments from making up for its shortcomings. In the decision, the court posed the question facing local governments obligated to issue permits to the facilities:
... how should a permitting authority respond to an emission standard that has a periodic monitoring requirement inadequate to the task of assuring compliance? For example, suppose there is a standard that limits emission from a given stationary source to X units of pollutant per day. Suppose also that the standard requires annual monitoring. Where annual testing cannot assure compliance with a daily emission limit, may the permitting authority supplement the monitoring requirement to assure compliance with the permit terms and conditions, as the Act commands?
Title V is a complex statute with a clear objective: it enlists EPA and state and local environmental authorities in a common effort to create a permit program for most stationary sources of air pollution. Fundamental to this scheme is the mandate that [e]ach permit . . . shall set forth . . . monitoring . . . requirements to assure compliance with the permit terms and conditions. By its terms, this mandate means that a monitoring requirement insufficient to assure compliance with emission limits has no place in a permit unless and until it is supplemented by more rigorous standards.

NFPA Journal®, September/October 2009
By Lisa Nadile
In the two years since 32 students and faculty were killed at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, many universities and colleges across the country have taken steps to beef up their emergency communications systems.
Know thy audience (and how it communicates): Larry Hincker (left), assistant vice-president of university relations at Virginia Tech, and Michael Mulhare, the school's emergency management director. Virgina Tech's methods for alerting the campus include text messages and email.
SIDEBAR Wanted: Funding for messaging research A new research project addressing important questions about current messaging strategies is currently being proposed by the Fire Protection Research Foundation.
CAMPUS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING RESOURCES NFPA 1600, Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs This standard provides a common set of criteria for disaster and emergency management programs and area business continuity. The document, now available as an iPhone application, is available free online.
The Governor's Virginia Tech Review Panel Report This report contains the details of the investigation into the Virginia Tech massacre, including information on the events, the university response, and more.
FEMA University Emergency Portal This website contains a wealth of information and materials about emergency management training. Guides to creating emergency plans are available, including the document Building a Disaster-Resistant University.
International Association of Campus Law Enforcement - Administrators Resource Center This membership organization has threat and vulnerability assessment worksheets and other materials for campus preparedness available at. It also distributed a report on the Virginia Tech shootings.
But as experts are quick to point out, merely installing the latest gear isn't enough; you need to know how it works as part of a larger emergency response plan. You need to know what the right message is for any given situation, and you need to know the best way to communicate that message.
When the Virginia Tech shootings took place on April 16, 2007, the university was already preparing to upgrade some of its emergency notification technology, including its text messaging system. The shootings made the school realize that, despite all the technology, the emergency notification plan itself needed work. Campus officials needed a better way to synchronize the emergency tools they already had to get the right message to as many people as they could as quickly as possible.
"We've always had notification protocols because we live in a part of the country where you sometimes have to close because of bad weather," says Larry Hincker, assistant vice-president of university relations and self-described custodian of Virginia Tech's emergency notification system. "So we had some vehicles before that we would use, but...none of it had ever really been coordinated and centralized."
Many institutions are recognizing the need for that kind of coordination, and are taking a close look at their emergency protocols. For everyone, the goal is to make campuses safer and more manageable in the event of an emergency.
Hard lessons On the day of the shootings, Virginia Tech had a number of mass notification systems, including audible sirens, a telephone hotline, a dedicated emergency Web page that could be updated quickly, and the university email system, which had 36,000 accounts and could deliver 10,000 emails per minute. In the aftermath of April 16, Virginia's governor convened a review panel to analyze the incident and the university's response, and the panel's findings include an analysis of the school's emergency response plan .
There were several deficiencies, the panel stated. A shooting scenario was not included in the plan, and the police did not place high enough in the decision-making hierarchy. The panel also stated that the protocol for sending an emergency message was cumbersome and untimely, and noted that university administrators waited hours before sending an emergency communication. In this situation, the effectiveness of a quicker shelter-in-place alert is purely speculative, but administrators say a hard lesson was learned. "We learned there is an inverse relationship" between the urgency of the incident and the timing of the message, says Michael Mulhare, P.E., Virginia Tech's director of Emergency Management. "The more important it is to get the message out, the shorter the time frame in which to send it."
Virginia Tech undertook a redesign of its mass notification system. First, it reassessed the threats facing the campus, evaluated its mass notification technologies in terms of those threats, and took a hard look at its plans for using the system. It then began reworking the plans using two concepts: the system should be appropriate for all hazards, even the rarest, and it should be redundant, sending notifications through as many channels as possible to overlap the communication habits of the campus population.
The new system, named VT Alerts, allows students and staff to subscribe to the information delivery methods of their choice, be it a text message to their phones, an email, or an announcement that flashes on their computer screens using a downloaded piece of software. They can also choose multiple methods, and prioritize those choices. Tied together into one system with these individual alerting modes are telephone switchboard announcements, traditional sirens and loudspeakers, posts to a special announcement area of Virginia Tech's Internet home page, and a weather and emergency hotline.
The school has also installed 500 digital message boards, at $1,800 apiece, in all classrooms and in high-traffic areas throughout the campus. According to Hincker, the signs are popular because they offer students and staff a sense of comfort. Hincker is one of about 30 university staffers trained on the system, and he can access a website and create emergency messages for the signs using customizable templates.
While Virginia Tech devised VT Alerts on its own, the process for creating a detailed emergency plan is contained in NFPA 1600, Disaster/Emergency Management and and Business Continuity Programs, and in FEMA materials, notably in its publication Building a Disaster-Resistant University. The FEMA models are also used by Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., to structure its response plan and emergency response team, says Whit Chaiyabhat, director of Emergency Management and Operational Continuity for the university.
A member of NFPA's Emergency Communications Systems Committee, Chaiyabhat worked on the new chapter on emergency communications in the new NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code®, which also requires a risk analysis and emergency plan. "Looking at the various technologies that we have available to us, it's necessary to have some sort of standard available towards the technical build-out, design, installation, and maintenance of these systems," Chaiyabhat says.
Like Virginia Tech, Georgetown has completed a detailed risk assessment, classifying each hazard according to one of four threat levels. Each level has designated plans and responses.
"We looked at each hazard or event and, based on the various technologies and systems we have available currently and the message delivery modes, we decided what we would say with each system," says Chaiyabhat.
One unique aspect of Georgetown's current notification system is the Campus Alert System, a network of steam whistles throughout the campus that the university has reused as a sort of loudspeaker. "It sounds just like a train whistle, and it means only one thing: take shelter inside immediately," Chaiyabhat says.
Georgetown created notification procedures, called incident management flowcharts, and created a group of key people who rotate as the senior administrator on call. Departments that receive an initial emergency call notify the administrator following existing protocols, and the administrator serves as a one-person emergency operations center. "That individual basically makes the decisions with that initial call," Chaiyabhat says.
Crafting the message Like Virginia Tech, Georgetown disseminates information using a multiple-channel approach, broadcasting emails and voicemails, using a weather hotline and local broadcast media, and updating its emergency website (http://safety.georgetown.edu). The university also has a subscription-based text messaging service called HOYAlert, named for the Hoyas, the nickname of the university's sports teams. It also has a network of trained staff and students that can be reached using radio or email and are charged with communicating with others. "We use these folks to create redundancies in our alerting capability," says Chaiyabhat.
According to Virginia Tech's Hincker, communicating with students and staff using the channels they use is key to ensuring emergency messages are seen or heard by everybody on campus. For students, these channels include the social media networks Facebook.com and Twitter.com. The information Virginia Tech posts to its Facebook and Twitter Web pages is not only received but shared by students and staff who might not be linked with the university's accounts, he says. According to Wayne Moore, principal with Hughes Associates, a fire protection consulting firm, an emergency communication message should state the hazard and its location, and specify what action to take. It should also make clear who is sending the warning. This calls for concise statements, since most text messaging systems limit the number of characters that can be sent per message. For example, text-to-phone messages can only be 160 characters long, including spaces.
The prominence of emergency communications systems using Internet technology raises other issues, chief among them that a college's information technology (IT) department is now a critical part of the school's mass notification plan. The department will have to ensure that its networking and telecommunication resources will support an emergency. As Hincker puts it, "You'd better take your IT leader to lunch."
With so much depending on IT systems and the Web, some experts, including Chaiyabhat, favor more discussion around performance standards for those systems. Companies including IBM, Microsoft, Verizon, and Sun Microsystems are working with government agencies such as FEMA and the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a data interchange software standard dubbed the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). Adherence to a communication standard such as CAP would make these new technologies more plug-and-play, rather than requiring customized networking solutions that may downgrade performance and be costly to implement, says Chaiyabhat. (For more information on CAP, visit www.oasis-open.org.)
In reworking its emergency plans, Virginia Tech is striving to help the campus recapture a sense of wellbeing. And the plan has already been tested. In January, when a graduate student was murdered in a campus café, the university used VT Alerts to notify the campus of the incident and to send the message that the assailant was in custody.
"We thought that certainly there was a need to notify the university population," says Mulhare. "The information would start percolating on its own, and we wanted to make sure we got the correct information out."
SIDEBAR Wanted: Funding for messaging research The content and characteristics of messages transmitted by emergency communications systems are critical for their effective operation, and facility operators, including college campuses, are raising important questions about current messaging strategies. These questions involve the level of consideration that should be given to characteristics such as the threat or hazard, the stage of the event, the sources and recipients of the communications, recommended message content and format, and the methods of message delivery. A new research project addressing these questions is currently being proposed by the Fire Protection Research Foundation FPRF). The project, "In-Building Communications Strategies," is intended to develop guidance information to help implement effective communications strategies for a variety of hazards and threats. Project deliverables will focus on addressing indoor notification requirements, which may or may not be part of area-wide notification initiatives. The 2010 edition of NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code®, includes a new chapter with important expanded requirements on emergency communications systems. The work of the NFPA 72 Technical Committees has focused on providing "menus" that permit the development of communications strategies based on differing levels of risk for a variety of hazards and threats. Earlier studies relate to this topic, but do not fully consider important influencing factors, including recent major advancements in mass communication technology; the state-of-the-art systems now available for emergency communications; shifting demands to address emergencies other than fire, such as security events and natural catastrophes; and updated studies on human behavior during emergencies. Funding for this project is pending. Anyone interested in supporting the project should contact FPRF Program Director Casey Grant at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I knew I should have paid more attention to physics at school
As the link to the web article appears to be dead, I have copied the text.
Paper aeroplane to be dropped 240 miles from International Space Station to Earth
By DAVID DERBYSHIRE
"For most people, it's enough to see their paper plane fly for a few feet.
The Japanese, however, want to send one 240 miles. . .through space.
They have revealed plans to launch a heat-resistant version from the international space station and track its descent at up to 15,200mph.
The idea is to pioneer a lightweight generation of gliders that could study the atmosphere.
The 8in-long paper dart – shaped like the Space Shuttle and weighing 11oz – has been treated with a chemical so it can survive temperatures of 200c as it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere.
A 3in-long prototype has been tested in a wind tunnel at the University of Tokyo at temperatures up to 300c.
Engineers hope the dart will be launched in November when Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata starts work on the space station.
One of them, Professor Shinji Suzuki, said: "We don't know where it will land but if origami planes successfully fly from space, the new design concept of space re-entry vehicles can be explored."
The dart would have to be released during a space walk or jettisoned from an airlock.
It would continue at the same speed as the space station, but its orbit would gradually decay.
If it survives the descent, it is most likely to end up in the sea.
And if someone finds the dart before them, the engineers at Tokyo University have written a message in several languages saying: "This plane flew from the International Space Station.
"Please return the plane to Japan Origami Plane Association."
In 1999 the leader of the Japan Origami Plane Association, Takuo Toda, approached Professor Suzuki to see if he could help design a three metre aeroplane for a television programme.
The plane was also designed like a space shuttle and flew successfully from the top of a mountain.
Following the project Mr Toda decided to push the boundary further and asked Professor Suzuki if he would help launch a plane from space.
They have spent the intervening years developing a plane that will not burn-up on re-entry.
The mission would follow a distinguished history of pointless experiments in space.
Over the last 10 years, the Space Shuttle has been used to discover how ants make tunnels in zero gravity, what happens to spiders in space and how roses release their perfume in orbit.
In August 2005, the main purpose of Discovery space shuttle mission was repair damage caused to its underbelly during its launch.
Is there anybody out there?

Hi all-
Am new to this forum - Have a question. I have a shower/tub combo in an old 1920s house. I believe the tub is a steel tub and the glazing is coming off - that's a whole other issue. Question is - we have a new hot water heater and there's just the 2 of us. If one of us takes a shower the water is not hot for long (i took a shower this morning and i had to turn the hot all the way up and leave the cold off and it was just warm enough to take a shower - not hot even - and we have a low flow water shower head too). Also - I don't take baths because by the time the water fills up - the water has cooled signigicantly. Now the heat in the tub could be due to the steel right? But what about the shower - is this a leak on our water heater, old plumbing, our faucet fixtures, etc. Please help! I don't even know where to begin. We installed a low flow shower head and hot water tank recently hoping to help the situation. Has a bit but not a whole lot.

Sweet Wheels: Dog Born With Back Legs Only
I love dogs more than I love people and that's the truth. Ask my girlfriend if you don't believe me, she has to sleep on the floor.
Hope, a Maltese puppy, was born with two little nubbins instead of front legs. So what did the people at Southern Comfort Maltese Rescue in Chattanooga, Tennessee do? Simple, they made her a pair of wheeled front legs.
The wheeled device was created by orthotist David Turnbill free of charge with makeshift shoulder joints connected to model airplane wheels. Each of the device's 'arms' can move up or down independently of the other, allowing Hope to pivot and turn. The spring-loaded prosthetic arms hook to a custom-fitted chest plate to allow Hope to lay down or sit up without removing the prosthetic.The wheels she uses as front legs took some getting used to and at first the tiny lap dog would tip over to one side.
Now Hope is completely accustomed to the legs and can runs laps around her other puppy pals (but please, no stairs). Wow, that really warms the heart, doesn't it? Mine sure feels like it's on fire. And that's not just the spicy breakfast tacos talking. I just hope this doesn't start some sort of sick two-legged pet craze. I catch you brandishing a saw anywhere near an animal and it's gonna be you needing wheels.
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures and a video of Hope before her wheels.

9191560 submission + - An Electric Boost for Bicyclists-> 0 Submitted by gollum123 on Monday February 01, 2010 @04:48PM gollum123 writes "Detroit may be introducing electric car designs and China may be pushing forward with a big expansion of its highways and trains, but people and delivery workers in New York, postal employees in Germany and commuters from Canada to Japan — are among the millions taking part in a more accidental transportation upheaval- the electric bikeIn turn, the booming Chinese electric-bike industry is spurring worldwide interest and impressive sales in India, Europe and the United States. China is exporting many bikes, and Western manufacturers are also copying the Chinese trend to produce models of their own. From virtually nothing a decade ago, electric bikes have become an $11 billion global industry.In the Netherlands, a third of the money spent on bicycles last year went to electric-powered models. Industry experts predict similar growth elsewhere in Europe, especially in Germany, France and Italy, as rising interest in cycling coincides with an aging population. India had virtually no sales until two years ago, but its nascent market is fast expanding and could eclipse Europe's in the next year.. It began in China, where an estimated 120 million electric bicycles now hum along the roads, up from a few thousand in the 1990s. They are replacing traditional bikes and motorcycles at a rapid clip and, in many cases, allowing people to put off the switch to cars."Link to Original Source
9190016 submission + - Google Chrome's Market Share On A Fast Rise -> 0 Submitted by adeelarshad82 on Monday February 01, 2010 @03:45PM adeelarshad82 writes "After passing Apple's Safari just a month ago to become third most widely used Web browser, Google's Chrome browser has now topped the 5% mark. Chrome was the top gainer during the period, with more than a half percentage point increase, rising from 4.63 percent in December to 5.20 percent in January. The raving reviews the new version of the browser has gotten is part of the reason for this, the inclusion of extensions has made the browser favorable to many others now. Apple's Safari also gained, but only by a tenth as much as Chrome, moving from 4.46 percent to 4.51 percent. Internet Explorer continues to shed market share, dropping from 62.69 percent to 62.18, while Firefox lost just 0.2 percent, ending January with 24.41 percent."Link to Original Source

592952 story Will Motorola Rise From the Ashes? 128 Posted by Zonk on Wednesday March 26, 2008 @06:03PM from the comeback-kid dept. An anonymous reader writes "According to ZDNET the once almighty Motorola is going to split into two companies, 'If the split goes through as planned, what will remain will be the "broadband and mobility solutions" business, which includes enterprise mobility, government and public safety, and Motorola's home and networks divisions.' Engadget claims to have an insider's email that details where it all went wrong, paying particular attention to mismanagement at the highest levels. What makes all of this even more of a shame though is that Motorola's latest product lineup seems to be receiving critical acclaim but with the company in so much termoil, will it ever rise out of the ashes?"
372901 submission + - Ron Paul's use of the Internet in his presidential 0 Submitted by tres3 on Saturday November 10, 2007 @08:52PM tres3 writes "A recent New York Times article explores some of the success that Ron Paul's presidential campaign has had in using the Internet. The author correctly states that others aren't as successful because their approach led many to micromanage their Web sites. By contrast, [Ms. Teachout] said, the Paul campaign took the opposite lesson that it was about openness and power. He has over 1140 MeetUp Groups in 900 cities (including one in the green zone in Baghdad) that have operated largely independently from the campaign. For instance the ThisNovember5th site was setup by Trevor Lyman using a video created by James Sugra without even consulting the campaign. That site brought in $4.3M from 37,000 donors in 24 hours. Mr. Paul estimated that the one-day haul had brought $10 million worth of free publicity. Ron said he hadn't even gotten around to thanking them yet. THANKS Guys!! There is a new money bomb web site being prepared now in celebration of the Boston Tea Party The article goes on to cover the wide variety of supporters that the Paul campaign has attracted. In reality Dr. Paul didn't create these groups; he simply gave them a focal point to rally behind. And he used the Internet to unite them, or more accurately, the users of the Internet found his message and united themselves behind it. I guess that is why the author titled the article 'The Web Finds Ron Paul, and Takes Him for a Ride'."
276441 story First Look At New Mexico's Space Terminal 131 Posted by kdawson on Tuesday September 04, 2007 @09:59PM from the ad-astra dept. Raver32 sends us to space.com for first light on the design of New Mexico's Spaceport America. Quoting: "The winning design is the work of URS Corporation — a large design and engineering enterprise — teamed with Foster + Partners of the United Kingdom, a group with extensive experience in crafting airport buildings. When the 100,000 square-foot facility is completed — the centerpiece of the world's first, purpose-built, commercial spaceport — the structures will serve as the primary operating base for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic suborbital spaceliner, and also as the headquarters for the New Mexico Spaceport Authority."
136425 story Microsoft / Adobe Competition Heating Up 219 Posted by kdawson on Tuesday April 17, 2007 @03:01PM from the ding-dong-front-page-is-dead dept. MicroAdobe writes "Microsoft has noticed that some of the coolest sites on the Web, YouTube and MySpace included, get much of their flash from Flash and other design programs sold by Adobe. But as Microsoft gets ready to ship its own line of tools for designers and Web developers, the company is finding it must also defend against Adobe on its home turf, the desktop. At the same time, the line between Internet and desktop programs is blurring, and both companies see an opportunity to capture new business." The article focuses on the competition and doesn't even mention that Adobe's CEO called Microsoft a $50 billion monopolist.
67888 story Why Software Sucks, And Can Something Be Done About It? 498 Posted by Zonk on Friday January 05, 2007 @03:37PM from the make-it-work dept. CPNABEND tipped us to a story carried on the Fox News site, pointing out that a lot of programmers don't understand their users. David Platt, author of the new book 'Why Software Sucks ... And What You Can Do About It', looks at the end user experience with end user eyes. While technically inclined individuals tend to want control, Platt argues, most people just want something that works. On the other hand, the article also cites David Thomas, executive director of the Software & Information Industry Association. His opinion: Users don't know what they want. From the article: "'You don't want your customers to design your product,' he said. 'They're really bad at it.' As more and more software becomes Internet-based, he said, companies can more easily monitor their users' experiences and improve their programs with frequent updates. They have a financial incentive to do so, since more consumer traffic results in higher subscription or advertising revenues." Where does your opinion lay? Should software 'just work', or are users too lazy?
63930 story Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? 294 Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday December 27, 2006 @04:29PM from the consumers-have-made-their-desires-clear dept. b.burl writes to tell us a recently released report by the NDP Group supports the horror stories being fed to us by studio execs, but not quite in the way those execs would have you believe. The study shows a continued rise in video piracy compared to legal video sales. The largest target continues to be adult oriented content and TV shows, with only an estimated 5 percent being mainstream movie content. From the article: "[A]mong U.S. households with members who regularly use the Internet, 8 percent (six million households) downloaded at least one digital video file (10MB or larger) from a P2P service for free in the third quarter of 2006. Nearly 60 percent of video files downloaded from P2P sites were adult-film content, while 20 percent was TV show content and 5 percent was mainstream movie content."
42682 story Mars Probe Probably Lost Forever 167 Posted by kdawson on Tuesday November 21, 2006 @10:57PM from the alas-poor-MGS dept. David Shiga writes, "NASA's silent Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft is likely lost forever. The space agency attempted to take a picture of the 10-year-old spacecraft using the newer Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, but did not detect it, either because its orbit has shifted since last contact, or because it isn't reflecting enough sunlight to be visible. NASA has now ordered its Opportunity rover to listen from the planet's surface for MGS's radio beacon. If that fails, the agency may call on the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft to join the search. But MGS may already have run out of power and NASA officials are not optimistic about recovering it."
40678 story Scientists Regrow Chicken Wing 124 Posted by Zonk on Saturday November 18, 2006 @01:43AM from the wing-and-a-prayer dept. An anonymous reader writes "Unlike salamanders and lizards, most animals have lost the ability to replace missing limbs. But a research team in San Diego has been able to regenerate a wing in a chick embryo — a species not known to be able to regrow limbs — suggesting the potential for such regeneration exists innately in all vertebrates, including humans." From the article: "Manipulating Wnt signaling in humans is, of course, not possible at this point, Belmonte says, but hopes that these findings may eventually offer insights into current research examining the ability of stem cells to build new human body tissues and parts. For example, he said Wnt signaling may push mature cells go back in time and 'dedifferentiate' into stem-like cells, in order to be able to then differentiate once more, producing all of the different tissues needed to build a limb."

The UberDog Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization based out of Charlotte, NC. They have decided to adopt the Greene County Animal Shelter, and one of their directors drove over on Wednesday, April 13, with a truckload of donated food and kitty litter. This organization funds its efforts mainly through donations, so please visit their site, spread the word, and consider donating to their fund! This is a wonderful organization, that has helped (and continues to help) many forgotten shelter pets!
We are currently soliciting for donations of needed items for the shelter. Please look over the list below, and if there is anything that you or someone you know can donate to help the pets at our shelter, we would greatly appreciate it!
-Blankets, towels, etc, for bedding (these items do not need to be new, as long as they are still in usable condition)
-Stainless steel or galvanized metal bowls and buckets for water and feeding
-Bleach, laundry detergent, dish-washing liquid, and other cleansers which are SAFE for animals; Pine-sol is not safe for cats.
-Toys, treats, and chewies (as the weather warms up, the animals here at the shelter are looking for things to do and play with!)
-Dog, puppy, cat, and kitten food, both canned and dry (we are not brand conscious; we will gratefully accept whatever we are given!)
-And pretty much anything else you can think of that can be used for making life in a shelter more comfortable and "homelike"! :)
We are also volunteer-friendly!
Not a dog person? Well, we have some of the friendliest kitty cats around, and they would be thrilled to have more people come and visit with them! If you are interested in volunteering, just drop by the shelter during operating hours, and fill out a volunteer application form! Greene County Animal Shelter also partners with Greene County Animal Partners, New Levels Dog Training, and Pitt County Humane Society in The New Leash on Life Program.
The New Leash on Life Program provides training for shelter dogs in order to enhance the dogs' adoptability.
Dogs selected for the New Leash on Life Program receive vaccinations, are tested for heartworms and are started on heartworm preventive. The dogs are also neutered/spayed prior to beginning their training.
The dogs receive personal training for ten weeks. Their training includes basic obedience, loose leash walking, socialization, and following cues such as "sit," "come," & "stay." The dogs also learn to perform with distractions and are taught some adorable tricks.
Four dogs are selected from the many dogs awaiting adoption or euthanasia. Younger dogs with pleasant temperaments are chosen every ten weeks.
The dogs begin training following the previous class of dogs' graduation. Each dog has a primary and a secondary trainer at Eastern Correctional Facility in Maury, NC.
Trainers are selected from a multitude of inmate volunteers. The trainers are trained by New Levels Dog Training of Greenville, NC and receive support from a sponsor from New Levels Dog Training.
At the end of ten weeks, the dogs are ready for their forever homes.
Who We Are
Greene County Animal Shelter is operated by Greene County Health Department. Every effort is made to ensure animals refuged at the shelter receive clean, safe shelter and adequate nourishment. While at the animal shelter, the animals' basic needs for survival are met by the staff. In addition, the animals receive loving touches from the caring staff and shelter volunteers. Unfortunately, Greene County Animal Shelter is a kill shelter, and time is limited for all of the animals here.Adopting a friend
There are many awesome cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens from which to chose. An adoption fee of $26 is collected for each pet. The fee is payable to Greene County Health Department. Pets, if age appropriate, receive a rabies vaccine upon adoption. Greene County Animal Partners provide spay/neuter certificates for animals adopted. The cost of these certificates are:
Spay for dogs--$50; Spay for cats--$35;
Neuter for dogs--$25; Neuter for cats--$25.
Spay/Neuter certificates enable responsible pet ownership and help decrease the number of unwanted animals.

Mindy McCready's two boys have been in the foster care system since Feb. 7, and are now wards of the state following the singer's tragic suicide on Sunday.
Zander, 6, is the son of Mindy's ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight, and Zayne, 10 months, is now an orphan. His father David Wilson, Mindy's fiance, killed himself in January.
Mindy's mental and physical health deteriorated quickly after the death of Wilson. Fearing for the safety of the young boys, her father Tim McCready petitioned the court to immediate intervene on his grandson's behalf because his daughter "hadn't bathed in a week … was screaming about everything and was very verbally abusive to Zander."
The judge granted the petition and the children remain in state foster care. No decision has been made about their future fate.
McKnight will seek custody of his son Zander. He told PEOPLE, "My son needs me. I'm married, working and successful. I'm on the right track and proud of it. I've been sober for years. I just want my son."
Mindy's mother Gayle Inge, who was awarded primary custody of Zander for several extended periods in the past, is seeking custody of both boys and has the full support of the Dept. of Human Services, who officially notified Circuit Judge Lee Harrod that Inge has a "substantial relationship" with the children.
A custody hearing is scheduled for April 5.

Admission Process & Requirements
What is Seamless Admission?
With Seamless Admission, participants enroll to take their first-year core courses as an Auburn Montgomery student. You may choose to take your classes at either the AU or AUM campus. Once you complete 30 hours of core coursework in the program with a GPA of at least 2.5, you are guaranteed admission to AU as a sophomore. Should you choose a major that has requirements above and beyond AU's general standards, you must also meet those requirements. Students who do not satisfy these requirements will be encouraged to apply for admission to Auburn at a later date.
Who is Eligible?
Seamless is designed to allow students who were not admitted for the first year at AU to fulfill their goal of becoming an Auburn student.
To be eligible for the program, you must meet Auburn Montgomery's admission criteria:
To be eligible for classes on the AU campus, you must have ACT sub scores of 18 in English and 20 in Math or SAT sub scores of 450 in Verbal and 540 in Math.
How does the Admission Process Work?
Invitations are mailed to all students meeting minimum eligibility requirements for the program starting mid-November. Invited students indicate their interest in Seamless Admission through an online interest form. After a student officially indicates interest, Auburn University forwards the student's application and educational information to Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). In February, Seamless Admission sends, electronically and by regular mail, interested students more information about the program and how to reserve a space in the program.
Invited students are not officially accepted into the program until they have paid a confirmation deposit to reserve their space. Since spaces in this very popular program are limited, students are urged to submit their interest and reserve their space as early as possible. The confirmation deposit will be accepted until May 1 or until the program is full (whichever date comes first).
If I am denied admission to Auburn University on February 15th or after, will all the spots in the Seamless Admission program be taken by people who were denied admission before me in November and December? No. Invitations are mailed out on a rolling basis starting in November and through early Spring as admission decisions are being made by Auburn University. The majority of AU decisions are made on November 15, December 15, and February 15. Seamless decisions happen later. As of mid- to late February, everyone who has received an invitation and has expressed interest in attending the Seamless program will be sent instructions on how to submit a confirmation deposit to secure a seat in the program. This allows everyone an equal chance to secure a spot in the program, regardless of what date you receive your invitation.
