Whether your school has told you that they will running a School Adventure and you want to find out more about it, or you are doing some independent research, we're tried to condense the most specific elements in to the list below:
What makes a School Adventure fun and exciting?
Why should I take part?
Is this for me?
How do I take part?
What makes a School Adventure fun and exciting?
Loads of things! Well we think so, they're definitely more fun than sitting at home watching TV or tidying your room, but I suppose it depends what you class as exciting though, staring in to the eyes of a wild mountain gorilla, standing on the highest point in Africa and kayaking over a sunken city is pretty exciting for us…
We think that what makes a School Adventure so fun and exciting is that you'll get to do so much during your holiday – visit new places, try new activities – and even if you have been to the country before or are a pro at a particular pursuit, we can assure you that you will not be bored as our Leaders are brilliant at finding new ways to challenge you!
Why should I take part?
Isn't it obvious? You'll have a fantastic time!
You will also gain lots of new skills, too many for us to simply list so instead we've mentioned a few that we think are going to be particularly useful to you in the future:
- Real world experiences – whether you'll be camping under the stars, immersed in Bedouin culture, or helping in an Indian orphanage you will return home having seen a different way of life and expanded your global perspective.
- Hard skills – whether you learn to kayak, rock-climb, scuba dive, track rhinos, improve your cycling, speak Mandarin or cope at high altitudes you'll definitely learn something new.
- Interpersonal skills – without even realising it you will develop areas of your character that will benefit you hugely, things like teamwork, organisation and communication that you'll use in so many areas of your life, in school, later at work and also socially.
- It's something different – it's definitely easier to stay at home and do the same things that you always do - play on the computer, play football, play piano – and all of these are great, but an Exodus School Adventure gives you the opportunity to try something completely different… you may even discover that you're an incredibly talented rafter which would give you something else to talk about.
All of these things won't just make you a more interesting person, they'll provide you with topics to talk about and experiences to draw upon if you plan to go to University, when applying for jobs and they'll also help you in the rest of your schooling. In addition you will have some experience of adventure travel should you ever wish to take a Gap Year, or arrange your own independent holiday. So perhaps the question should be, "why wouldn't you want to take part in an Exodus School Adventure"?
Is this for me?
Quite simply, an Exodus School Adventure is for anyone who wants to get out there and have fun.
How do I take part?
If your school has already told you that they'll be running an Exodus School Adventure then make sure you come along to the Information Evening (bring your parents if they're around) to find out more about it and get details on how to sign-up.
If you don't think that your school has one of these trips planned, why not speak to a teacher and tell them about us and direct them to our website. If you can't think of a teacher to talk to about this, you could fill out a form online with the details of your school and we'll try to find a teacher on your behalf.

Several familiar names sat atop the leaderboard at last weekend's Off-Season Legends Race and Legends Invitational at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Stockbridge native Taylor Jorgensen picked up a milestone win as she got tuned up for this weekend's Bandolero Nationals in Alabama. Jorgensen held off her brother, Jensen, for her 20th career win.
This past summer at the 10-week Thursday Thunder racing series, Taylor Jorgensen won the points title with nine wins. Her only loss came against Jensen.
"It's a pretty special win, I had a bunch of family there, and it was a pretty big deal," Jorgensen said. "This has been a really, really great season. We got the nine wins during Thursday Thunder and Jensen got the other, so the Jorgensens swept Thursday Thunder. I've had wins all over the southeast. This has definitely been my best year so far. We already have some offers of people looking for rides next year with sponsorship and, people wanting me to drive their cars."
Jorgensen's next order of business is pursuing a national title when she takes to the track at Sunny South Raceway in Grand Bay, Ala. this weekend.
The Nationals are about 25-30 laps, and Jorgensen knows she will get some competition from Seth Warner, who is also close to his 21st win of the season.
"I've been going over and over my game plan," Jorgensen said. "I'm going to stay calm, cool and collected. Make smart moves, smart passes, don't overdrive it. I want my car there at the end of the race to beat Seth and go for the win."
After last weekend's racing, AMS held its Thursday Thunder awards banquet for this past season. The special winners included: Most Improved Driver — Riley Thornton; Bandolero Rookie of the Year — Eli Bailey; Legends Rookie of the Year — Jay Coen; Top Dog of the Year — Amber Fleeman; Family Award — Massey Family; Joey Logano Breakthrough Driver of the Year — Chandler Smith; Reed Sorenson Most Popular Driver — Evan Bell; David Ragan Sportsman of the Year — Christopher Clanton; President's Award — Doug Stevens.
Smith won the Bandolero Invitational last weekend with Stevens taking the Legends Invitational.
Other winners included Taylor Jorgensen (Outlaws), Stevens (Pro), Brian Weimer (Masters), Joshua Hicks (Bandits), Myatt Snider (Semi-Pro), and Joey Padgett (Young Lions).

Tampa Theatre
711 Franklin Street,
40 people favorited this theater
The Tampa Theatre opened October 15, 1926, designed by theatre architect John Eberson as a Florida Mediterranean Atmospheric style theatre. Audiences were transported to a lavish, romantic Mediterranean courtyard, replete with old world statuary, flowers and gargoyles. Over all is a night-time sky, replete with twinkling stars and floating clouds.
The Tampa Theatre 'Mighty Wurlitzer' is a magnificent 3Manual/14Rank instrument maintained by the Central Florida Theater Organ Society.
In the 1940's, the Tampa Theatre was operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidiary E.J. Sparks. This wonderous movie palace almost faced the wrecking ball. After almost fifty years of top notch films, the Tampa Theatre was forced to eke out an existence by showing 'B' movies. By 1973, the Tampa Theatre was closed. People and government rallied to save the Tampa. The theatre was then donated to the city. In 1977, it was named to the National Register of Historic Places and reopened following an extensive restoration.
The Tampa Theatre presents art films, classic films, concerts and other performances. There are usually tours every month. Eberson's magic lives on.

The early photo's show a orchestra pit, but now it appears it has been covered over with a stage thrust. When was that done and I wonder if there are any plans to uncover it? Georgious theatre…
When I was at the Tampa Theatre I didn't know that there had been an orchestra pit though realize now that a theatre of that era would most certainly have had one. Do hope plans are made to uncover that area and use it once again as an orchestra pit for live productions!
The orchestra pit no longer exists. Sometime after the grand reopening in 1977 the stage that sat over the pit was completely torn out. It was replaced with the current stage which was constructed a little higher than the original one had been. It was also built outward at the center very slightly extending just a little more towards the audience.
I had a chance to see the orchestra pit after the stage had been torn out and the new one was being built. The floor of the pit had been excavated and enlarged somewhat. The huge beams that support the stage now sit in the foundation of what was once the orchestra pit.
You can see both stages under the photos tab. The first two photos show the screen that sat on the old stage. Compare these photo with the more recent one showing the current stage without the screen. Notice how the stage is slighlty higher and extends a little more outward at the center.
Thanks Nick.Miss you.Terry and I are putting alot of theatres onFB.I enjoyed my TOUR of the Tampa, Guess you got the letter on the Miller.
Thanks for posting this article Tinseltoes! I had almost forgotten about this film and the local premiere (matter of fact I'm probably standing somewhere in that crowd.) I remember seeing Terry Moore being escorted from the limo onto the red carpet and into the theatre amid flashbulbs popping. As for "The Daredevil" well, I can't say I remember much at all other than it being a low budget production made for the drive-in market. The fact that the film was booked at the Tampa Theatre was a miracle in itself—probably the high point of it's exhibition history. Interestingly I just checked the IMDB and there are only 4 reviews of "The Daredevil" with all reviewers giving the film surprisingly high marks.
Nick, "The Daredevil" was filmed locally, which was the reason for the world premiere being held at the Tampa Theatre.
Tinseltoes, I knew about the film being shot in the Tampa area but just realized I didn't mention it in my post. I had also forgotten that during this period the Tampa Theatre was in the midst of it's downward spiral and had already been playing 2nd run double features as well as blaxploitation films. So in hindsight I guess it's not surprising at all that the film had it's premiere at the Tampa Theatre.

Birds of Paradise: Revealing the World's Most Extraordinary Birdsby Edwin Scholes
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Legendary naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace once observed, "The bird of paradise really deserves its name and must be ranked as one of the most beautiful and most wonderful of living things." In this dazzling photo essay, Tim Laman and Edwin Scholes explain why, presenting gorgeous full-color photographs of all 39 species of the Birds of Paradise that highlight their unique and extraordinary plumage and mating behavior. The authors take you into the depths of the remote New Guinea rainforest to find each of these birds, some of which have never before been photographed. In pursuit, the authors pose answers to questions raised by eminent evolutionary biologists such as Ernst Mayr: "How can natural selection favor, one might almost say permit, the evolution of such conspicuously bizarre plumes and displays? How can it permit such 'absurd exaggerations', as one is almost tempted to call them? How can it happen that apparently closely related species and genera differ so drastically in their habits and colorations?" Field notes, conservation success stories, and observations of native peoples' interactions with these magnificent birds provide a rich feast for birders, naturalists, and any one who is seduced by the power and majesty of the natural world.
Synopsis:"You'll initially find it hard to believe that these pictures are real—but they are. These are the most beautiful photographs of the world's most beautiful birds. The birds' behavior, richly described in the text, is as remarkable as their appearance. This is a book like no other book."
--Jared Diamond, ornithologist and author of Guns, Germs, and Steel Eight years. Eighteen expeditions. Fifty-one field sites. Thirty-nine unique species of birds-of-paradise, all photographed in the wild for the first time in history. "We turned our passion for science, photography, and media documentation into a comprehensive vision to share an unparalleled treasure of Earth's biodiversity with the world," write biologists and explorers Tim Laman and Edwin Scholes. These treasures are the spectacular birds-of-paradise, native only to the remote New Guinea region but known the world around for their brilliant colors, otherworldly plumes, and elaborate courtship dances. Now, for the first and perhaps only time, all 39 species of these extraordinary birds are showcased together through the revealing words and exclusive photographs in this landmark book. About the AuthorTIM LAMAN, rain forest biologist affiliated with Harvard University, is one of the most accomplished wildlife photographers in the world. EDWIN SCHOLES, evolutionary biologist affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History and Cornell University, has studied the New Guinea birds for more than a decade and is the leading authority on their behavior and evolution.

ARCHIVE:"From street level, the nondescript door hardly looks like a hotel entrance. But up a narrow stairway, you'll find one of bargain lodging's best-kept secrets. Two years ago, owners Ted an Claudia Howard transformed the former hot-sheets transient hotel (Madonna lived here before her big break) into a charming, funky find facing Madison Square Garden. The clientele is largely youthful and European; the flavor, decidedly arty. A small second floor lobby is painted a cheerful yellow with blue cityscapes and glass brick; sounds of a fountain echo through industrial-chic hallways of pressed tin and exposed brick."
"...artist Rob Graf designed each [room] with a unique theme. The Shakespeare Room's walls are lined with sonnets and gray velvet swags; the Orbit Room's deep blue walls and ceilings glow with fluorescent stars at night. Baths are clean and new, with gray slate and black marble; all are shared (generally one shower and two toilets per six-room floor). All the rooms have TVs.
"...light sleepers might want a room facing away from Eighth Avenue. Décor varies dramatically, so get a room list ahead of time and choose one to suit your taste."
"Suites with baths are available in the building next door..."

text: content September 7, 2007 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive EPA increases adiponectin in animals and humans Health Concern Inflammation Featured Products Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans & Olive Fruit Extract NKO™ Krill Oil Life Extension magazine Request your free trial issue of Life Extension magazine! Life Extension Update Exclusive EPA increases adiponectin in animals and humans The September, 2007 issue of the American Heart Association journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology published the finding of researchers in Japan that administration of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) results in an increase in adiponectin, an adipocytokine found in adipose tissue that reduces inflammation and atherosclerosis in animals and in humans. Levels of adiponectin have been found to be reduced in obese individuals. By increasing fatty acid oxidation, adiponectin lowers fatty acids and triglycerides, and enhances liver and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. In an experiment with genetically obese mice and mice in which obesity was induced by a high fat diet, four weeks of a diet consisting of 5 percent EPA resulted in an increase in serum adiponectin compared with similar groups of mice that received a control diet. In the genetically obese mice that received EPA, white adipose tissue weight was decreased in several locations compared with the control mice, although body weight gain did not differ. In adipocytes (fat cells) cultured with macrophages, EPA was shown to reverse the decrease in adiponectin secretion, in part by down regulating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the macrophages. The authors suggest that "EPA reversed the coculture-induced decrease in adiponectin secretion at least in part through the reduction of the inflammatory changes induced by the interaction between adipocytes and macrophages." In obese humans who received 1.8 grams EPA for three months, plasma triglycerides decreased and adiponectin increased while remaining relatively unchanged in the group that did not receive the fatty acid. Multivariate analysis of the data confirmed that EPA was the only independent determinant of adiponectin levels. "This study demonstrates that EPA increases adiponectin secretion in rodent models of obesity and human obese subjects, possibly through the improvement of the inflammatory changes in obese adipose tissue. Because EPA has reduced the risk of major coronary events in a large-scale, prospective, randomized clinical trial, this study provides important insight into its therapeutic implication in obesity-related metabolic sequelae," the authors conclude. Health Concern Inflammation Aging results in an increase of inflammatory cytokines (destructive cell-signaling chemicals) that contribute to the progression of many degenerative diseases (Van der Meide et al. 1996; Licinio et al. 1999). Rheumatoid arthritis is a classic autoimmune disorder in which excess levels of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1b [IL-1(b)], and/or interleukin-8 (IL-8) are known to cause or contribute to the inflammatory syndrome (Deon et al. 2001). Chronic inflammation is also involved in diseases as diverse as atherosclerosis, cancer, heart valve dysfunction, obesity, diabetes, congestive heart failure, digestive system diseases, and Alzheimer's disease (Brouqui et al. 1994; Devaux et al. 1997; De Keyser et al. 1998). In aged people with multiple degenerative diseases, the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein, is often sharply elevated, indicating the presence of an underlying inflammatory disorder (Invitti 2002; Lee et al. 2002; Santoro et al. 2002; Sitzer et al. 2002). When a cytokine blood profile is conducted on people in a weakened condition, an excess level of one or more of the inflammatory cytokines, e.g., TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1(b), or IL-8, is usually found (Santoro et al. 2002). Scientists have identified dietary supplements and prescription drugs that can reduce levels of the pr-inflammatory cytokines. The docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fraction of fish oil is the best documented supplement to suppress TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1(b), and IL-8 (Jeyarajah et al. 1999; James et al. 2000; Watanabe et al. 2000; Yano et al. 2000). A study on healthy humans and those with rheumatoid disease shows that fish oil suppresses these dangerous cytokines by up to 90% (James et al. 2000). http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-146.shtml Featured Products Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans & Olive Fruit Extract Studies associate the Mediterranean diet, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, and antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and herbs, with lowered cardiovascular risk and increased life span.

For Carolina McCready, art, the language of the human spirit, teaches people how to feel about complex issues, cutting through the static of biased politics and hate.Read the full article
That theory is the organizing principle behind The Artery's new exhibit about immigration, "Nuestras Historias, Nuestras Voces" (Our Stories, Our Voices). The community art project is sponsored in part by Latino Advocacy Coalition, where McCready is co-director. The exhibit reception is 7-9 p.m. today.
"Art talks to people's hearts — people can learn much more through art and the way that it speaks to you," McCready said. "Since immigration is such a polarized and complicated topic, we hope to speak to people's hearts and not their minds.

(WICHITA, Kan.)
Boeing wanted more time and Wednesday got its wish. The Pentagon delayed a decision on who will build the Air Force's new refueling tanker until next year. That means the 35 billion dollar decision will be made after President Bush leaves office.
The new administration will choose who gets the tanker contract. Remember, the president makes a number of political appointments including the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Air Force.
Some are speculating whether an Obama or McCain presidency would favor one company over the other.
Both candidates say if elected they'll make sure it's a fair process. After seven years of controversy, the current Secretary of Defense says delaying the decision is the right move.
"I believe that the resulting cooling-off period will allow the next administration to review objectively the military requirements and craft a new acquisition strategy for the KC-X as it sees fit," said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

Texting for Bristol Palin
By Paul Kengor on 11.22.10 @ 6:08AMToight, I plan to do two things I've never done before and will hopefully never do again: I will watch Dancing with the Stars and send a text message -- actually, a bunch of text messages.
The occasion, of course, is Bristol Palin, who continues to dance her way to the finals on one of the culture's most popular TV shows. She glides merrily along not with the support of the New York/Hollywood elite that stand in judgment of her, but with the enthusiastic approval of millions of us Neanderthals out here in the Hinterland-and to the great chagrin of perpetually angry liberals.
Without the backing of us boors in fly-over country, Sarah Palin's daughter would have been booted long ago. Alas, like her mother, she is buoyed by the affections of countless regular Americans who -- praise be to God -- don't give a damn about the New York Times.
And as Bristol trots to victory after victory, the pressure cooker that is liberal America rises and rises and rises, boiling over with customary ferocity.
What's really going on here? Let's cut to the chase: The roots of this indecent, unhealthy rage by liberals is -- first and foremost -- a lashing out against Bristol and her mother for the political/cultural sin of standing, unwaveringly, for unborn human life. That stance also explains why liberal women in particular despise both Bristol and the mother who gave her life. The Palins' devotion to the pro-life life infuriates pro-choice women.
I'll never forget the moment Sarah Plain first walked onto that stage with John McCain. The initial salvo had already been fired, not because of anything Palin said but because of what she had done. As far as liberal women were concerned, Palin had already drawn a line in the sand when she chose to give birth to a child pre-diagnosed with Down syndrome, choosing to do what some 90% of women don't do when given that diagnosis.
Even more galling, Palin, in one fell swoop, thereby decapitated the entire pro-choice narrative. Her "choice" repudiated everything feminists always insisted were de facto prerequisites for an abortion. To wit, here was an extremely busy woman who had it all -- college educated, accomplished, governor of a state, several children already, happily married, in her early 40s. According to the twisted pro-choice worldview, these were yet more reasons to abort. Sarah Palin, however, did not.
In truth, the "pro-choice" position is not about choice; it is about self. Those who are "pro-choice" are primarily, at their core, pro-self. Thus, they measure Sarah Palin's choice against their own choices, and it fills them with bitterness.
Think about it: Shouldn't liberals at least applaud Sarah Palin's consistency? Shouldn't they at least concede that she walks the walk?
No, no, no. Their response has been pure vitriol.
The most lasting manifestation of that, in my mind, was shown by the downright mean "Retarded Republican Babies for Sarah Palin" T-shirts that compassionate liberals were selling on the web during the 2008 campaign. The shirts featured a little GOP elephant blowing a balloon. They were a slap at the face of Palin's innocent little Down's child, Trig.
What had Trig done wrong? Wasn't he deserving of sympathy? Not to the enraged and deranged. To them, Trig was Sarah Plain's child -- the product of a misbegotten choice. He merited contempt.
Alas, that's where Bristol comes in. She, too, being a child of Sarah Palin, is disliked by the left by her very birthright. But then, however, she mushroomed their resentment to nuclear levels when, she, too, committed the cardinal sin of choosing life. Recall the surprising announcement by the Palins, during the 2008 presidential campaign, that Bristol was pregnant out-of-wedlock. The angry left, with its pro-choice lobby leading the way with torches, hoped that Bristol -- who Saturday Night Live parodied having sex with her father -- wouldn't go the way of her mother by choosing life.
Etched my memory was the unholy assessment of Gloria Feldt, former president of Planned Parenthood, who criticized Sarah Palin for allegedly forcing her unwed daughter to not choose death. "[Bristol] probably feels powerless right now," said a saddened Feldt, oozing with empathy. "Because of her family's attitude, she probably doesn't feel that she has a choice."
Following her mother's blessed example, Bristol chose life. And with that, again, the left, especially liberal women, were spinning in their seats and foaming with rage.

Pearl Izumi P.R.O. In-R-Cool Men's Jersey $0.00
Cool to the end.
Taking into account that not everyone lives in as dry a climate as Pearl Izumi's headquarters in Colorado, Pearl developed the P.R.O. In-R-Cool Jersey. As a result, this jersey's Minerale and In-R-Cool technologies are designed to keep you cool and collected on the sweatiest of summer rides.
The P.R.O Transfer fabric boasts a knit surface area that facilitates the wicking and evaporation of moisture. And, in addition to this, the material's Minerale treatment utilizes natural volcanic minerals in order to accelerate evaporative cooling, while also providing odor reduction and UV protection. On top of that, Izumi's In-R-Cool technology reflects the sun's rays, effectively lowering the surface temperature of the fabric.
In fact, Izumi claims that this treatment lowers the surface temperature of the fabric by up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit in direct sunlight. However, when your core temperature is building, we all know that you can't beat a front zipper for ventilation. Accordingly, the P.R.O. jersey features an easy-to-use, full-length zipper.
For storage of your ride essentials, Izumi included three ample-sized rear pockets. Additionally, Izumi also included a fourth sweat-proof pocket is included in order to keep your phone accessible and safe from damaging moisture. Extra support at the back pockets keep them from sagging when fully-loaded, and an elasticized gripper on the back's bottom hem keeps the jersey fully in place throughout the movements of cycling.
The Pearl Izumi P.R.O. In-R-Cool Jersey is available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black/screaming yellow, True Red/white, and White/shadow grey.

Had a chance to try this red XL jersey out several times then finally on a century ride in Palm Springs. Temps got to 75F with lots of sun but this jersey kept me cool all day long. Maybe Minerale does what it advertises to do. Quality piece that is well proportioned and put together for cycling. The XL does fit like an XL and is true to size. Works and fits well enough that I might find myself buying a few more of these Minerale jerseys :)

Tucker rushed to the house but "there wasn't no way I could get into it."
The family had switched from heating with wood to an electric heater and it was the only heat source in the house, James Tucker said.
Blair said Tucker lived in the home with the children's father, Billy Wilfong. The two weren't married but had been together for about seven years, she said.
Blair identified the children as 5-year-old Dakota Lee; 4-year-old Tyler Lane; 2-year-old Cheyenne and an infant, Emily, who was 6 months old. She said she watched the kids often and said they loved to play outside and watch TV together.
"They were good kids, you couldn't ask for no better," Blair said.
Roberts said the bodies would be taken to the medical examiner's office in Frankfort, and it could take several days for positive identifications. The infant was found within a foot of the father, and all the victims were within about two feet of each other.
"They could've been overcome by that smoke and just went into like a deep sleep," Roberts said. "They just couldn't make it out."
Doug Tackett, Pike County Emergency Services Coordinator, said hot spots still marked the house as of early Wednesday afternoon.
"They haven't even started the recovery yet," Tackett said. "It was a hot one, yes indeed."
No officials could recall a similar deadly blaze in Kentucky since 10 people, including six children, were killed in a house fire in Bardstown in February 2007.
County Judge-Executive spokesman Brandon Roberts said there's been no similar fatal fire in the county in recent years.
"I can't remember a whole family perishing in a fire in my lifetime," Roberts said. "It's just, 'Oh God.'"

Publisher Laurel Leaf Language English › Find signed collectible books: 'The Giver' |
In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World, in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price. [via]

The Site Activation Task Force report (PDF), released Thursday by the Pacific Air Forces, projects $14.6 million in savings over the next five fiscal years associated with moving more than 500 positions supporting the 18th Aggressor Squadron from Eielson Air Force Base to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, following initial costs of $5.6 million in fiscal year 2013.
The Air Force says an additional $227 million in savings would be realized from actions taken in fiscal year 2015 to reduce base operating support services at Eielson following the move.
"518 Aggressor-coded positions, with an additional 105 non-Aggressor-coded positions (total of 623) were identified as supporting the F-16 relocation," Air Force officials wrote. "A total of 542 positions, along with related aircraft and support equipment, will transfer to JBER by the end of (fiscal year 2013)."
Air Force officials have suggested moving the aggressor squadron, which simulates enemy fighters during Red Flag training exercises in Alaska, as a source of savings through consolidating redundant positions between Eielson and JBER. Fairbanks locals have been fighting the move, as chronicled in "Mission Critical," Channel 2's May 3 edition of "The 49th Report."
The report also outlines the proposed demolition of structures at Eielson, which will no longer be necessary to house the F-16s when they leave.
"Consolidation of the remaining functions (at Eielson) is being considered as a way to further reduce energy and sustainment costs," Air Force officials wrote. "F-16 functions transferring to JBER affect facilities by vacating and making facilities available for repurpose, consolidation or demolition. Most of the facilities considered as excess capacity through the relocation of the Aggressors are located on Eielson's taxiway loop."
Air Force estimates place Eielson's population after the squadron's departure below 1,000 airmen, requiring it to downgrade from a wing-level facility to one housing a group. Officials suggest that the resulting group could report to any of three other major Air Force commands in Alaska: the 3rd Wing at JBER, the 673rd Air Base Wing that serves as JBER's host unit, or the 11th Air Force which oversees Air National Guard units in the state.
Sen. Mark Begich blasted the report in a statement Thursday afternoon, citing initial costs as evidence that the F-16 move has not been properly budgeted for by the Air Force.
"The Air Force has also acknowledged there could be additional costs beyond Fiscal Year 2013 associated with the relocation not contained in the report," Begich said. "And while some information was collected about the down-sizing of Eielson in future years, none of those projected cost savings outlined in the report have actually been validated."
Begich also notes that costs the Air Force and airmen might face in selling Fairbanks housing had not been accounted for in the plan. He says he doesn't plan to remove his hold on the promotion of Air Force Lt. Gen. Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle -- which he previously placed when the Air Force didn't provide detailed information about the proposed move.
"The bottom line is we have yet to see a comprehensive five-year analysis detailing the total budgetary ramifications of the relocation and long-term plan for Eielson," Begich said. "The Air Force needs to be straight with Congress. We cannot make major decisions impacting the budget, military operations, and our military families based on incomplete data and inconsistent information."
Rep. Don Young also approached the report with skepticism, praising the Air Force for engaging local leaders in Fairbanks but questioning the openness of its data on the move.
"Today, after seeing the first real data behind this move, I believe there are still many important questions that remain unanswered," Young said. "Before finalizing this move, the Air Force must prove to me and to all Alaskans that this move will not require additional and expensive construction, will not adversely affect U.S. national security or readiness, and will not leave Alaskan airmen literally out in the cold as they try to find housing in a saturated Anchorage housing market."
Editor's note: A breakdown of costs and savings associated with the F-16 move has been corrected after clarifications from the Air Force.

Vikings Announce Signing of QB Matt Cassel
The Minnesota Vikings announced the signing of quarterback Matt Cassel on Friday.
They came to agreement on Thursday, the same day he was formally released by the Kansas City Chiefs with two years left on his contract.
Cassel spent the last four years in Kansas City. He completed 58 percent of his passes for 1,796 yards with six touchdowns and 12 interceptions in nine games last year.
He led the New England Patriots to an 11-5 season in 2008 and earned Pro Bowl honors in 2010 with the Chiefs by throwing a career-high 27 touchdown passes.
Cassel will replace Joe Webb as Christian Ponder's backup. Ponder has been inconsistent his first two seasons, but GM Rick Spielman said when the season ended that Ponder is the starter for 2013.

That's right. It's a commonly purported myth that stall is unplayable in Dream World, but in truth it can actually be used successfully; you just have to get creative. For this Research Week we're all going to be looking into stall and how it can deal with threats that could otherwise give it serious trouble. Post defensive cores, hazard cores, etc. Post Pokemon who give stall trouble and how a stall team can deal with those Pokemon. (Example: Chandelure is a serious problem, but can be mitigated with Shed Shell and Pursuit Tyranitar). Also feel free to post common stall Pokemon and explain their roles, what offensive threats they deal with, etc., and comment on the Pokemon already listed here. And don't forget that a lot of stall teams run weather of some sort, so talk about those as well! This post will occasionally be updated with examples provided in this thread. Common Stall Pokemon Common Stall Threats
Amoongus- Amoongus is a really good niche mon in this metagame. Checking Keldeo, Breloom and Excadrill, while having good defensive typing is huge. Spore is awesome, HP Ice hits Dragon-types, and is an overall good Pokemon to have on a stall team Blissey- Probably better than Chansey in this meta because it can run Shed Shell, even though it may not need to because I haven't really seen many Sub CM Chandelure's. The thing takes almost all special attacks with ease(curse you secret sword!) and supports its team with Aromatherapy and Wish. Ferrothorn- Not a fan of this guy in this meta. I feel like this metagame is too fast paced for this guy and he doesn't bring enough to the table for me. Ferrothorn is excellent on rain teams though, as its Fire-type weakness is nearly nullified. Forretress- This is a mon that i can get behind! Since DW OU is really offensive, it's good to have a Pokemon that can set up hazards while maintaining momentum with Volt Switch. With Sturdy, you can even beat Chandelure with Earthquake or Volt Switch out to a Tyranitar as they Fire Blast u to Sturdy. Gliscor: Not great in this meta but still good. It losses to Breloom and Blazikien, which sucks but it does check Excadrill, Garchomp, and other threats that I'm probably forgetting to think about. Gliscor is less passive than other mons that can be found on stall teams, as it can stall out mons with Sub + Toxic or sweep with Swords Dance. Heatran- Not great in this meta. It's a good Steel-type resist but other than that it just losses to the top mons. Keldeo, Garchomp, Blazikien, Breloom, Excadrill and other mons... It sets up rocks and is good against sun teams but baring a significant metagame shift, i doubt this will be good. Hippowdon- Really physically bulky and sets up rocks. Beats most physical attackers except Breloom. Has reliable recovery, takes down Dragon-types, great mon.
Chandelure is practically a "stallbane", ie it can come in, trap any stall Pokemon, Sub up, and set up what it wants to before killing the Stall Pokemon. This can make for a very dragged out portion where Blissey is doing literally no damage to Chandelure's Sub as Chandelure sets up to +6. Hippowodon can (sort of) get past Chandelure with Earthquake, as can the very rare Bulldoze Ferrothorn, but overall, Chandelure, if it can get in on one of these Pokemon, can sweep a team. For this reason, and for the reason that Tyranitar is one of the very few Chandelure counters in DW OU, Tyranitar is perhaps the most important Pokemon on the list.
Reuniculus would be pretty annoying to stall cant be damaged by entry hazards, toxic, leech seed etc with Magic Gaurd and can proceed to Calm Mind. Phazing moves would do the trick to send him out but he would still be pretty hard to damge. also magic gaurd negates the damage taken from weather effects such as hail and sandstorm also it gets regenerator through dream world and i dont know if it is realeased but that could be annoying to stall pokemon that carry phazing moves.
Well sure Chandelure is really dangerous but one can prepare for it when hes smart. Run Shed Shell on physically defensive mons with a weakness to Chandelures attacks such as Slowbro, Skarmory and Amoongus. Exspecially the Regeneratormons dont depend on Leftovers-Recovery much. If youre scared of SuBCM-Chandelure you can use Shed Shell on Blissey too but i think Blissey is better of with a CM-set (CM, Softboiled, 2 Special Moves). Or you gotta use Tyranitar and make smart double switches to it to trap Chandelure and sweep then. Not to mention that theres a good amount of defensive mons that dont give a fuck if Chandelure traps them (Vaporeon with a bit of SDef-Investment for example). So stall is certainly possible just harder to pull off and you cant cover every single threat out there due to all the possibilities. But thats BW for you - Team matchup plays an important role though it doesnt necessarily decide a match from the get-go it sways the momentum in one's favor. Conclusion: Stall is possible and in my opinion even pretty decent but it cant cover every threat out there and has to pick its poison.
BIG STALL PERSON. Amoonguss is absolutely fantastic; the best Keldeo counter in the game, a phenomenal Breloom counter, can take on Venusaur in the rain, etc. Amoonguss is absolutely amazing, and should be played on any team lacking a defensive core. It covers so many threats at once, can run Shed Shell and not mind the recovery, etc. In addition, it is at least somewhat diverse in what moves it can choose. Bliss/Chans are also amazing on stall, for 2 reasons generally. 1 is for Heal Bell, which eases the play of stall throughout the match should you play against a WoW user or get a crucial wall frozen. You can also run Rocks and not have to run a second steel type to overlap the coverage you get. Stall teams NEED all 6 slots, no exceptions. And of course, special walls and Wishpassing? Yes please. Ferro is cool, not as cool as he was before with all the new threats running around, but he still can do his job fine. Leech Seed, hazards, TWave, good STABs, etc. make him an above average stall Poke. Forry is in the same boat, only it can ease prediction with Volt Switch, spin, and set up TSpikes, while exchanging Iron Barbs, TWave, Leech Seed, and a good STAB. Skarmory is another Steel Spiker, but this time it has access to a phazing move, immediate recovery, and a flying STAB, which is useful for threats like Terrakion. Jellicent, Tentacruel, and Slowbro are the premier Bulky Waters of this gen. Jellicent is better for breaking other stall, Tentacruel is better for spinning (ya don't say) and laying down Toxic Spikes or messing up other stall Pokemon with the dreaded SubToxic set in the rain. Jellicent is notable for being able to beat some Manaphy 1 on 1, especially if it carries Hail. Slowbro is notable for Regenerator, and paired with other Regenerators such as Amoonguss, makes it amazing for Stall cores, and Slowbro + Amoonguss is a fantastic core alone, which is good for balance. Tyranitar and Hippo are two Sand setters; the former is used for its much superior mixed coverage and special bulk, while the latter is used as a physical tank and phasing capabilities. Both have access to the ever useful Stealth Rock, which is mandatory on any stall team. Gliscor and Heatran are a bit less common on purestall teams than others, but have amazing type coverage, and access to many annoying moves (SubTect for Gliscor, TormentTran for Heatran), and they both cover a large amount of threats. The majority of the threats on the Stall threatlist can be handled much easier if Rainstall is being played. Blaziken's commonly sun boosted Flare Blitz is neutralized from the rain, making Tentacruel, Gliscor, Jellicent, and Slowbro hard counters to it, taking low damage and resisting its STABs. Chandelure takes literally nothing out of stall if you run Shed Shell, as all stall teams should have something to deal with it (Toxic Spikes + Chansey or Blissey, Tentacruel, Gastrodon, Heatran, or Tyranitar), and unless it is Sub Calm Mind without Tspikes down, you should be fine. Excadrill can be covered with Skarmory, Gliscor, and Hippowdon, although these can all have some difficulties depending on what sets Excadrill runs (Life Orb Adamant with Rock Slide, Air Balloon Adamant with Return, and Air Balloon Adamant with EQ) and hax. Keldeo is handily countered by Specially Defensive Amoonguss, Toxic Jellicent, and Toxic Tentacruel. Manaphy is a bit harder, Jellicent and Suicune with a super effective Hidden Power can handily counter Manaphy, but there are few stall Pokes that can reliably counter Manaphy. Under rain, Amoonguss, some Skarmory, and some Ferrothorn can take it in rain, but in sun it has few viable counters if it runs HP Fire. All of these are difficult but manageable to cover. IMO rainstall is the way to go.
I love stall, but I haven't gotten to try it a whole lot in this tier yet. Some problems appear to be stallbreakers like Blaziken, Chandelure, and Manaphy. A lot of the solution is to run a weather on your stall team as well. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3463141 This is a stall team built by Porii Sames (the poster above me), it shows how effective rain stall can be in the metagame. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3463878 This stall team was built by Princess Bri. it's an incredibly well built sand stall team. I've used it, and no complaints from me.

Marcel Dettmann Conducted
- Words: Derek Opperman
- Label: Music Man
- XLR8R Rating: 9/10
It's been almost four years since Marcel Dettmann released Berghain 02, the scene-defining mix that seemed to totally encapsulate the (then) new sound of Berlin. Since then, Dettmann's kept himself incredibly busy, not only with his residency at Berghain, but also with his own productions (2010 saw the release of his debut LP, Dettmann, on Ostgut Ton). Still as much of a force in techno as he ever was, it almost goes without saying that Conducted, Dettmann's latest mix, is a great listen. In nearly every way, it plays like an updated edition of Berghain 02 and, as such, it functions as a kind of document of where Dettmann and Berlin techno are at in 2011.
In interviews, Dettmann has mentioned that he likes to start his DJ sets with ambient pieces and experimental electronic music. Following close to this aesthetic, Conducted starts slow and gradually builds into a driving, linear experience. Opening cut "Immolare (First)" by Sandwell District starts things off with a beatless and ghostly piece that evokes the distant passage of cargo ships and diesel trains. From here, the beat begins to take shape in the form of Signal's classically minimal dub-techno cut "Wismut." The steady churn and expansive atmospherics create a feeling of hypnotic propulsion that shoves the mix down a broad lane towards the more fully formed and straightforward nouveau techno of Roman Lindau's "Sub Suggestion." From this point, now moving at a steady clip, Dettmann wastes no time in bringing in hard kick drums and abrasive tonalities.
With a mix this good, it's hard to point out explicit highlights, but invariably there are a few moments that truly stand out. Dettmann's extended blend from Bluemoon Productions' "Night" into The Analogue Cops "Why You Love Me" not only bridges a vast stretch of time (from 1990 to 2011, respectively), but also it allows him to demonstrate how house fits into the spectrum of his sound. Similarly, throughout the latter half of the mix, Dettmann weaves his way through tracks like Vril's "V3" and Milton Bradley's "Don't Phonk," which both evoke the industrial techno championed by Tresor in the '90s. Lastly, the final two tracks, Answer Code Request's "Escape Myself" and Shed's "44A (Hard Wax Forever!)" finish things off with two broken beat tracks that meld together into one final percussive symphony before evaporating into unaccompanied wind-chime-like synth tones.
Throughout the entire mix, Dettmann makes it a point to execute extended blends that don't just segue, but instead completely obscure the boundaries between his selections. His style is deliberate and calculated, but never feels like it moves too fast. Instead, he creates a root bedrock within which selections and highlighted moments jump in and out of the soundscape, creating a cohesive structure whose sum stands distinct from its parts.

The cover story in this weekend's New York Times Magazine is a 13,000-word investigation of the New Orleans hospital where patients were euthanized in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It's a remarkable and tragic story that may also represent the most expensive single piece of print journalism in years.
This is the new economics of news production: The reporter, Sheri Fink, began working on the project in 2007 as a fellow at the Kaiser Foundation and stayed on the story nearly full-time after joining ProPublica, the non-profit, investigative-journalism outfit, in 2008. Later that year, Fink and her editors began collaborating with the Times Magazine, which did not pay for the piece. It's also available on ProPublica's site, and anyone is free to republish the article in full beginning on September 29.
Gerald Marzorati, editor of the Times Magazine, caused a minor stir this week when he estimated that the article cost $400,000 to produce. That turns out to be an exaggeration, but the order of magnitude is correct.
Every once in a while we get a new datapoint about the cost of quality journalism. The relevance of those figures is debatable at a time when we're rethinking the how of journalism as much as the what, but they're good to know, and I've filed away a few. Among them: The New York Times' Baghdad bureau costs $3 million a year, while The Washington Post's drains $1 million; The Miami Herald's audit of the 2000 presidential election results in Florida put the paper out $850,000; The St. Petersburg Times' PolitiFact project has been estimated in the high six figures; and Marzorati has previously said that his average cover story runs "north of $40,000."
In this case, Fink was paid $33,000 plus $10,000 in expenses for her Kaiser fellowship, according to Steve Engelberg, her editor at ProPublica, where she's been for 14 months. Engelberg, who was kind enough to go through these figures with me, said, "Fourteen months of salary plus benefits for us easily gets you north of 100 plus, 100, 150 or something." He threw in another $20,000 to $30,000 for travel expenses, in addition to three months of editing and lawyering at ProPublica and the Times, which also spent $25,000 to $30,000 on photographs, he said.
Grand total: a lot of money.
Marzorati told me his estimate of nearly $400,000 considered what the piece would have cost had it been produced entirely by Times staffers. He wrote in an email, "My point, really, is simply this: Investigative reporting is very, very expensive." And no matter how you crunch the numbers, that's certainly true.
These sorts of calculations inevitably lead to impossible cost-benefit analyses. It would be even more difficult this time: What was the actual cost to the Times? Does cost mean the same thing to nonprofits like Kaiser and ProPublica? And do you measure benefit in impact, pageviews, or what? (A Times memo this morning happened to note that last week's cover story, an excerpt from Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's new book on global oppression of women, topped a million pageviews.) There are no answers, and I'm just filing away this datapoint with the others.
UPDATE, 3:13 p.m.: Fink emailed me to note that, in addition to what I noted above, she spent four months in 2007 covering the story at her own expense. And in the comments, Stan Alcorn of the Dart Center points to their video interview with Fink. So you've got Kaiser, ProPublica, Dart, and Fink on her own as a freelancer — all contributing without compensation to the final product here. New economics, indeed.

Brain drain from Turkey: an investigation of students' return intentions
The emigration of skilled individuals from Turkey attracted greater media attention and the interest of policymakers in Turkey, particularly after the experience of recurrent economic crises that have led to an increase in unemployment among the highly educated young. This study estimates a model of return intentions using a data set compiled from an Internet survey of Turkish students residing abroad. The findings of this study indicate that, as expected, higher salaries offered in the host country and lifestyle preferences, including a more organized environment in the host country, increase the probability of student nonreturn. However, the analysis also points to the importance of prior return intentions and the role of the family in the decision to return to Turkey or stay overseas. It is also found that the compulsory service requirement attached to government scholarships increases the probability of student return. Turkish student association membership also increases return intentions. Longer stay durations, on the other hand, decrease the probability of return. These findings have important policy implications.Download Info
