text: Just days after our spring issue went to press, the U.S. Census Bureau, which has been doling out the results of last year's census in dribs and drabs, released a new batch of information, including a more detailed portrait of D.C.'s demographics than had been available from earlier info. This city is very close to tipping the scales toward no longer being majority black—a big change from four decades ago, when seven in 10 D.C. residents were black. Former mayor Marion Barry greeted the news by vowing to fight gentrification, claiming that old-time Washingtonians were being displaced. As I indicated in my essay on gentrification in D.C., however, the social forces at work in gentrifying areas are more complicated that a simple displacement narrative allows. The big story emerging from the Census data is that blacks are moving en masse to the South, reversing the trend of the Great Migration north starting a century ago. And they're moving to affluent suburbs, like whites in decades past. During the last 10 years, the populations of most city cores (as opposed to larger metropolitan areas) remained relatively stable or grew modestly. The revival in cities isn't simply a matter of population, then, but of function. As cityscape guru Joel Kotkin and a colleague recently observed, America's downtowns have become primarily cultural and residential, not industrial or commercial. They're a "niche product" that lures a select few. Cities may not be "roaring back," but neither are they the wastelands that, but a few short decades ago, they seemed destined to become.

Bethenny Frankel from "Real Housewives" has this reality show stuff figured out -- because she's parlayed it into a $200 MILLION empire! Not laughing at reality shows NOW, are you?
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
To be fair, I don't think her reality show helped her at all. She said when she developed the idea for her ****tail brand, she took it to all the major distributors and none of them were interested. It wasn't until the drinks became popular and successful because they were needed, and good, that they changed their mind and offered to buy the line from her.
I'm happy for her though.
Work for 2 more years, then retire to someplace tropical.
Betheny is a special person. She works very hard and desevres
respect. She is funny and has lived alot of life.
Not like some of the other housewives.
Good luck to her.
What's wrong Jill? Wake up one morning and feel a Mack truck hit you in the face? All to Bethenny. And yes, the show opened the door for her. Everything else was her doing. She worked her tail off while the other yahoo's were too busy one-upping each other with their petty nonsense.
Flip side is that it's apparent at times how much of this has gotten to her head. We know making the NYTBSL is about as hard as getting an, "My Child Made The Grade" bumper sticker now-a-days, but that's OK. She took that Skinny Girl thing and unloaded it at the right time. Because, honestly, it's not going anywhere but out the door. Whoever bought it just threw 150 million out the window unless they can recoup it faster than you can say half-assed-Zima-product.
The only thing she needs to worry about is when the ****'s going to hit the fan. It's almost like she sold her soul to the Devil along the way. From middle-class to 200 million in a couple years. Married to arguably the nicest, not to mention extremely good looking, guy on the planet. And a precious little daughter. And in-laws that make Sunflowers cry they're so sweet (which she needs to really rethink the way she treats.) It's funny how she complains more and more about the smallest things now. Ya, it's all gone to her head in a not so flattering way. And I recall the moment it happened --
When putting the baby seat in the car for the first time - "Jesus, I can write a NYTBS but I can't work a baby seat". The way she said it was the same way Mike "The Situation" talks about how absolutely gorgeous and cool he is.
Anyway, all to her. And finally, Bethenny, please don't let us find out that while you're having sex you don't sit there and talk like a chatterbox about how "insaaannneee" your day was. I can picture you staring at the ceiling talking to yourself, about yourself, while he's doing his thing.
OH, ANOTHER thing. Lose that shrink. He's going to stretch that couch bill out until the Sun burns out. He's more like a psychic. Generalizing everything that you throw at him. And yes-manning you to death most of the time, throwing in the obvious criticisms when needed (doctor! doctor! I can't stop crying when I slam my foot in the wall! -- "Bethenny, I think you're holding on to Mommy resentment. The Wall is your mother, right? right?.)
Signing off.
Good Luck Bethanny!!! If you're ever in Toluca Lake I'll buy you a cup-ah-kahhfee at Priscilla's.
B*tchenny is her own biggest fan. She's been trolling the gossip sites for years defending herself thinking that nobody knows it's her. She's a head case with nothing to offer. Why anyone would turn to her for advice is completely absurd. She's a whiney, spoiled b*tch who would p*ss on her own grandmother for a dollar. Hopefully those millions are enough to put a muzzle on her and banish her to obscurity, but I doubt it. She wants her own talk show now. Anorexic yenta, even your own mother hates you!
I'm not surprised. A gullible, low-class, easily entertained society which has never read the Bible or any classic books and would rather read comics, the Enquire and other trash.
It has become important to watch human trash on TV...so the plain ol' s***bags of society can feel superior in some way.
Rich or not imagine having to wake up next to that creep every morning? That voice alone is enough to make a man go limp. Her husband must be a real wimp loser.
Creep personified.
The reality TV shows in China are much more interesting, They are about Chinese men and women working in factories working 36 hour days making 40 cents a day. I hear in the final season they take over the world and everyone in the US ends up working at Walmart.
Don't love Bethenny but she is witty and smart.
Jill and LuAnn are mean and petty while Kelly is moderately retarded and can't string 2 sentences together.
Why is everyone so pissed? Because she just made some big bucks? So what!! Bethenny actually made the Housewives show and without her it is boring as hell, she does have spunk and wit. She did, however, start to annoy me when I see that she has a nanny, an assistant,ect.. I hate that, take care of your own child, Kendra does!!
Well I'd hardly call one resourceful, motivated, former reality TV star vindication of the format as a medium for success. I suspect it's more about the reality TV star being a successful person anyway rather than the format imparting success.
I think there is unwarranted snobbery though, in that because the medium often attracts those with a need for exposure and often amount to titillation at the strange, it's viewed as a lesser entertainment genre. When basically it's about entertainment, which is the same thing traditional shows do. Much of it is about as scripted.
Some of it is exploitative, (Repo Games reaffirmed the universe is basically absurd and pointless) and I don't think a lot of reality stars know what they are getting themselves into, but Bethenny Frankel was clearly not one of them. I also have a bit of a beef with promoting the idea of fame for the sake of fame. Not all reality shows do, obviously, because they cover people who actually do stuff (Deadliest Catch etc). But I think the idea of fame for the sake of fame can be corrosive because people could spend all their time trying to be famous rather than actually get good at useful things, which I think is probably better long term. That's not all reality TV and all reality TV stars though, I just find those specific aspects of it questionable.
I am so happy for Bethenny. Good for her ! She made the H.W. of NY funny. The execs were smart to give her HER own show.

When The Patient Can't Afford The Care

CHARLESTON, W.Va. --A winter storm that caused several accidents across Kanawha County gave many West Virginia schoolchildren an early start to the weekend, and more snow accumulation is expected Saturday and into Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for almost every county in West Virginia, and a river flood warning along the Ohio River in Mason County.
The winter weather advisory, which goes into effect at 10 a.m. today and remains until 10 a.m. Sunday, warns of an additional snow accumulation of 3 to 6 inches. Temperatures are expected in the 20s, and the NWS says that drivers should expect slick roads.
Early Friday, the fast and slow lane of Interstate 77 southbound at the Westmoreland Road exit was shut down due to a single vehicle accident. The interstate was "a solid sheet of ice" from the I-77 and Interstate 79 split southbound to the Interstate 64 and I-77 split, according to Kanawha County Metro 911 dispatchers.
Winter storm warnings were posted in 17 counties Friday. School was canceled in at least 40 counties.
Kanawha County Metro 911 started to receive calls about hazardous driving conditions because of ice- and snow-covered roads just after 1 a.m. Friday.
The northbound split at Interstate 77 and 79 around the 106 mile marker was shut down for about an hour early Friday after "tractors and trailers [were] at a standstill due to hazardous roads," according to an alert from Metro 911. The road was reopened at 3:17 a.m.
Numerous accidents were reported in Kanawha County Friday morning, mostly on untreated secondary streets. In Putnam County, dispatchers said there were only a handful of accidents on secondary roads, with no injuries.
Snow continued to fall until about 7 a.m. Friday, hampering efforts to clear the interstates and secondary roads. Salt trucks and snow plows made better progress once the snow stopped, but patches of interstate and many streets and secondary roads remained slushy Friday afternoon.
The Kanawha River was at 25 feet in Charleston and expected to crest at about 26 feet by Friday afternoon before receding over the weekend, according to a Metro 911 alert.
That measurement was still "well below" the 30-foot flood stage, according to the alert.
More than 1,200 Appalachian Power customers were without power just before 10 a.m., including more than 600 in Wayne County and nearly 300 in Kanawha County, according to the company's website. However, only about 485 customers were without power by 7 p.m., mostly in Cabell and Lincoln counties.
But forecasters warned state residents that they weren't yet through with snowfall. Liz Sommerville, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston, said forecasters predicted snow to start falling again in the Kanawha Valley at about 6 a.m. Saturday.
"We're expecting, by 7 p.m. or so, approximately 2 inches," she said.
"It will continue pretty much through the entire weekend," she said. "We can expect to see another 4 to 5 inches within the Kanawha Valley."

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) funded this pilot test to (1) develop generic voluntary requirements for an untethered trailer tracking system using as a model QUALCOMM's proprietary T2 Untethered Trailer Tracking system that includes specific capabilities and (2) field test a system that meets these requirements.
This report outlines the requirements for this untethered trailer tracking system, provides a detailed break down of the individual technologies used, and explains how they will be field tested to provide evidence that the technologies meet the designated requirements.
The results from this project can be used by motor carriers as system guidelines for voluntary adoption of untethered trailer tracking systems within their trucking fleets.
This is a final report developed under FMCSA's deployment of untethered trailer tracking system program. It does not supersede an earlier report on the subject. Note that certain confidential and proprietary information that pertains to QUALCOMM's proprietary technology has been removed.

We take the temperature of Baltimore's woozy real estate industry, check out the region's most in demand neighborhoods, and visit with a few of the people buying there.
Additional research by Chelsea Haddaway, Hilary Thomas, and Realtor Jennifer Reynolds. What to say about home sales in the throes of a deep recession where the perception is that no one's buying? How 'bout this? That, in fact, people are still buying. And there are even some clouds in our local market that sport the proverbial silver lining.

Economy be damned, Pat Turner keeps the buzz going on his new Silo Point condos.
Silo Point sits on a ragged section of Baltimore's once-industrial waterfront, a stone's throw from Fort McHenry, where the harbor heads out to the bay.

"What do you think of my place?" The situation clearly called for tact. It was 1985 and Carol Brody had just laid eyes on the '50s-era Mt. Washington stone ranch home owned by her then-date, Ken Luchs. Brody, a lifelong artist, wasn't going to say what she really thought—that the kitchen was woefully out of date; that the verdant views were obscured by shapeless, heavy drapes; and that the living...

The serenity of a water garden or fish pond helps you get away from it all--in your own backyard.
It gurgles. It sparkles. Dragonflies patrol the surrounding flowers and plants, as hummingbirds and finches congregate around it like wildebeest and impala around an African watering hole. It's a fish pond, and it would be oh so therapeutic—if only you had one. But creating ponds or water gardens is not the gargantuan project you might imagine. We went in search of water garden and fish pond...

I have a pair of black Rayban new wayfarers but wanted a pair of tortoise frames and these fit the bill perfectly! I'm a small framed woman but the 55 fits perfectly! Raybans are a stylish classic and so well made. Very pleased with my first purchase from overstock!
Frames too small for face. Eyebrows show.Otherwise good quality.
These glasses look good and the lenses provide clear viewing. However, they tend to have a loose fit and slide down the nose during exercise.
Nice glasses but not for a lot of women with a smaller face. Had to return them
These glasses were excellent quality, ships quick as well.

As I was mowing the lawn, I had an idea for a series I thought might be fun.
I'd like to put out an entry once a month about an new or highly active Ruby project that's looking to gain some extra exposure. People can send me proposals for their projects, and I'll pick one each month to write about here. This way, if you're way behind on your mailing list reading, you'll be able to easily find at least one new project announcement each month.
Below are the semi-arbitrary rules for submission:
- Project must be fresh / actively developed
- Project must be released before the time I post
- Proposal should consist of nothing more than a code example and a link to your project page, no additional commentary needed
- Project can't be Rails-centric
- You must be a developer on the project
- My project choices will be entirely subjective and unjustified. :)
The reason these rules are fairly specific is that I'm hoping that this series will be a sort of grass-roots effort to have Ruby recognized as a useful language standing on its own two legs. If someone else wanted to start up a similar series about Rails projects on this blog or elsewhere, that'd be great.
I'm also stipulating that the project needs to be relatively new and fresh, because there is no shortage of coverage of the more popular Ruby projects out there. This is a chance to give new folks and new projects some time to shine.
Please email me your submissions by June 30th. I'll get in touch with my favorite pick some time in the first week of July, and have a post out then. Hopefully this will be a fun little series, and a useful service to those having trouble keeping up on the latest Ruby software.

Work detailsThe Last of the Bird People by John Hanson Mitchell
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. The Last of the Bird People was an interesting read. I was under the impression that it was non-fiction and was a touch disappointed that it was, in fact, a novel. As a novel, though, it was fine. It was interesting enough to keep me reading and the historic aspect was fairly well done. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This novel is presented as a historical report on events related to the disappearance in 1920 of Minor Randall, associate professor of anthropology at Harvard, the sighting of a nomadic tribe in Massachusetts in 1857 and later, and events along the Tamiami Trail in Florida around 1929. The main story is a deposition by the police of one of the members of the tribe, the Bird People. He tells of the history of his people from the coming of Minor Randall, their relocation to Florida traveling along the Appalachian Trail and then down through Georgia and Florida, and the ultimate battle between his people and some Floridians as they try to cross the Tamiami Trail.I think the idea of a secret tribe of people living among us undetected in the 20th Century has the same appeal for me that the existence of Sasquatch has for modern day pseudo-reality television viewers. In some ways this could be considered a Utopian novel describing a society of multi-racial, multi-ethnic people who build and maintain the community in peace. However, that peace is disrupted by the U.S. government when they invade their remote valley to prepare for building a dam to create a lake. The telling of the story by Jon Barking Fox, an older member of the tribe and father of Randall's lover, is presented as a deposition. Fox is the sole survivor of the Tamiami Trail massacre, or at least that is what the officials believe. Fox's narrative includes elements of magical realism as he describes the abilities his people have acquired from the animals. He includes the history of their tribe from their beginnings near Cape Cod to their move to Swift River Valley. Mitchell's background in anthropology is evident in the detailed and interesting descriptions provided by Fox of the culture of the Bird People and how that culture changed by necessity as they traveled south and incorporated Randall's knowledge of the world. Told as an historical record, with reports, statements and depositions, I would want the dates to be accurate, but at one point the story says that 1909 is 75 years after 1857. I tried to reconcile this error, that is, decide what the author meant to write, but I couldn't. The first few sections were very confusing in that way. On the other hand, as you might expect of a real historical record, many questions are left unanswered. Reading and reviewing the glossary provided by Mitchell was useful. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. From the initial description in the Early Readers blurb (which seems to be the same as the plot synopsis on the back), I thought that this was a work of non-fiction. I was intensely curious, and so I was somewhat disappointed when it arrived with the world "novel" on the cover. Despite this initial disappointment, I enjoyed the read. Mitchell tells his tale predominantly in the form of the transcript of a deposition given by an elder in the tribe, the sole survivor of a violent incident, and therefore, "the last of the bird people." This narrator is an interesting construction, simultaneously unreliable and far too omniscient for reality (although he has an explanation for his knowledge). It is his voice, well-developed and unique, is what makes the book so entertaining, and some of the other characters fall a little flat in contrast. Overall, the plot is predictable, a reality that is compounded by the fact that the structure reveals the ending from the first. Overall, it's an entertaining little book, but not an outstanding one.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I thought this book was a documentary or history. I was wrong. I have been trying to avoid reading novels because most of them include scenarios which I try to avoid. It is sad to turn the page in a book and discover the main protagonists going at it like a couple of chimpanzees in a monkey house. So when I realized that the cover of the book had the word 'novel' on it - in plain sight, I might add - I set my face like flint and began reading very carefully.What I read was actually quite good. The book suggests that this was a real event, told in the form of a deposition made by one of the characters in the story. We follow this tribe of wild people as they move from the Northeast United States toward their goal, which is the Everglades in Florida. The story is reminiscent of the Book of Exodus, where Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Like Moses, the leader of this American Exodus is an outsider of sorts, and has to deal with the various factions of his band of men, women, and children. In addition, I kept thinking back to a blogger whom I used to follow as he hiked along the Appalachian Trail. I would love to take a trip like that, and this book rekindled that yearning in me. I wish that the author had left off the Epilogue. There are other things I found interesting in this book. Of course two of the characters have relations, but details are thankfully spared by the author. What struck me was that afterwards the woman searched for a tuber, or root, in the forest which can be used as a contraceptive. Actually, it seemed to be more like an abortifacient or 'Plan B' kind of drug. The man, once he understands what she is doing, asks wistfully if she does not want to have his child. The author really brings out the feeling ot the man in this scene, as he realizes that this woman only wants him for one thing and no more. Usually it is the man who is seen as treating the marital act as only a phyisical encounter rather than intimacy between a man and a woman. Would I read it again? Probably not, but I would look into some of the other books by this author. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Unusual. It was interesting, and I did appreciate the setting -- natural and organic. I had no problems with the writing style, so that's great. As the "deposition" of an elder of the tribe, the perspective is unique. He tells the story as one long tale (pauses, but no breaks), with some 'visions' conveniently providing him with knowledge of scenes he could not witness. It's a bittersweet story, because the Bird People are sympathetic, but any contemporary reader will know there lifestyle is doomed. A simple yet important story.Reviewed for LibraryThing Early Reviewers no reviews | add a review

Boone County Fire Protection District repays misused funds
The Boone County Fire Protection District repaid more than $200,000 in misused funds to the Federal Emergency Management Agency yesterday, settling a federal audit from the year 2009.
The audit originally indicated the Fire District had misused more than$750,000 in FEMA funding over a five-year period. The Fire District disputed the audit's findings, and in July, it was notified of the updated and reduced balance.
Fire Chief Scott Olsen says most of the misuse is attributed to accounting errors and ineligible spending.
"Now what we're focused on is fixing those issues and making sure those issues don't happen again and that FEMA and the office of Inspector General is comfortable with the fact that we are going to manage federal money correctly," Olsen said.
The Fire District is still contesting two items in the audit request.

Although I am not much of a basketball fan, he shared his memories coaching the 1984 olympic team. I could have listened to his stories about coaching Michael Jordan for hours. Coach would be a great guy to have at the campfire after a long day of out fishing him.

Weeks of careful planning and packing definitely help, but it's also advantageous to hear advice from others who have already been through the experience. View PDF... |

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — It was the biggest beehive that that Ogden beekeeper Vic Bachman has ever removed — a dozen feet long, packed inside the eaves of a cabin in Ogden Valley.
''We figure we got 15 pounds of bees out of there,'' said Bachman, who said that converts to about 60,000 honeybees.
Bachman was called to the A-frame cabin last month in Eden, Utah. Taking apart a panel that hid roof rafters, he had no idea he would find honeycombs packed 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 16 inches deep.
The honeybees had been making the enclosed cavity their home since 1996, hardly bothering the homeowners. The cabin was rarely used, but when the owners needed to occupy it while building another home nearby, they decided the beehive wasn't safe for their two children. A few bees had found their way inside the house, and the hive was just outside a window of a children's bedroom.
They didn't want to kill the honeybees, a species in decline that does yeoman's work pollinating flowers and crops.
So they called Bachman, owner of Deseret Hive Supply, a hobbyist store that can't keep up with demand for honeybees. Bachman used a vacuum cleaner to suck the bees into a cage.
''It doesn't hurt them,'' he said.
The job took six hours. At $100 an hour, the bill came to $600.
''The bees were expensive,'' said Paul Bertagnolli, the cabin owner. He was satisfied with the job.
Utah calls itself the Beehive state, a symbol of industriousness. Whether this was Utah's largest beehive is unknown, but Bachman said it would rank high.
''It's the biggest one I've ever seen,'' he said. ''I've never seen one that big.''
He used smoke to pacify the bees, but Bachman said honeybees are gentle creatures unlike predatory yellow jackets or hornets, which attack, rip apart and eat honeybees, he said.
''They just want to collect nectar and come back to the hive,'' he said. ''Most people never get stung by honeybees — it's a yellow jacket.''
Bachman reassembled the hive in a yard of his North Ogden home, while saving some of the honeycomb for candles and lotions at his store. He left other honeycombs for the cabin owners to chew on.
''We caught the queen and were able to keep her,'' Bachman said. ''The hive is in my backyard right now and is doing well.''

Publisher: Eternal Press/Damnation Books LLC/Damnation Books | Date published: 03/01/2011 DescriptionA collection of horrific short stories, collaborative works, poetry and interviews by 'Partners in Slime" Mike McCarthy and Mark McLaughlin. Introduction by Gregory L. Hall. Excerpt: "Intriguing," the Major said. "Killer insects, but tiny. Much better than those killer cockroaches we were working on. Those things were as big as puppies--couldn't sneak 'em over enemy lines. So what's the hold-up?" "The biggest problem I have is this: after the dust mites eat a substantial amount of flesh, they won't eat again for another forty-eight hours. They instantly become lethargic, sleepy--then, when they perk up again, they lay their egg clusters. First, I have to alter their reproductive cycle, since those prolonged rest periods will lessen their military effectiveness. Then I have to speed up their metabolism, to create a lean, mean, constantly eating war machine."

70% of fire-related deaths occur in homes that are not equipped with a working smoke alarm
The FDNY, along with Domino's Pizza and the American Dairy Association, will be at the Hilton in Times Square, 234 West 42nd Street, 11 a.m. on Friday, October 30, reminding New Yorkers to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change their clocks this weekend for the end of Daylight Saving Time.
"The message is loud and clear; having a working smoke alarm in your home is the best way to protect yourself and your family from a fire," said Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta. "Every New Yorker should take the time this weekend to check their smoke alarm, and if they don't have a smoke alarm they need to purchase one. It can be the difference between life and death."
The FDNY and the FDNY Foundation, in partnership with the Hilton in Times Square, organized the event as part of the New York City Fire Department's campaign reminding New Yorkers to change their batteries when they change their clocks. Members of the FDNY Fire Safety Education unit will be giving fire safety tips to 50 children from the Sacred Heart of Jesus School and distributing smoke alarms, batteries, and literature on how to prevent fires in the home. The FDNY mascot, "Hot Dog the Fire Safety Dog," will also be elevated by a tower ladder to change the clock above the Hilton entrance. Domino's Pizza will have "American Legends" look-alikes on hand and will be giving away free Domino's American Legends pizza as part of their partnership with this year's event.
"Throughout the month of November, Domino's will not only deliver pizza, but we will also deliver support for fire safety," said Rob Cookston, Dominos' Franchisee. "To honor our local legends at the FDNY, Domino's will donate one dollar to the FDNY Foundation for every America Legends pizza ordered from one of our 19 Manhattan store locations." This endeavor is expected to yield a $40,000 donation to the FDNY Foundation by Domino's and the American Dairy Association.
The FDNY Fire Safety Education Unit has held over 4,200 fire safety presentations educating approximately 387,000 New Yorkers in 2009. At these events, they have distributed nearly 4,000 smoke alarms and 62,000 batteries, with an additional 40,000 batteries to be distributed by the end of the year.

Some rushed comments (with the caveats that these are hurried and I'm not a video-compression expert)....
Flash memory vs tape should have little to do with what format is recorded. There are professional DV cameras that record beautifully to flash memory (usually, though, to variants of the original mini-DV format). There is, in fact, a big push in professional camcorders toward more use of flash memory... in large part because of faster workflow.
I think with regard to the original question, the key here is camera price. It is a marketing issue. Flash memory is where manufacturers want to go, and compromises in small, low-end, flash memory cameras for the consumer market are thus driven by chip capacity and price.
It's important to note that MPEG constrains how you compress, but not how much. Typically, consumer cameras hyper-compress, and this leads to problems with certain kinds of material. MPEG compresses static frames and then compresses motion in intervening frames.
DV compresses, among other things, color information, which produces some artifacts that I don't like... but there are ways of making DV look fairly good.
Initially, MPEG's motion compression made it much harder to edit than DV. Generally, I hear, this issue has been more or less resolved. MPEG editors go to an intermediate format... but, depending on all sorts of factors, including the initial degree of compression, there are likely to be losses in this stage.
In thinking about MPEG compression, it's helpful to note that MPEG-compressed video... eg, DVDs for consumer end-use... are held to a lower bitrate, not because of deficiencies in the compression methods, but because of limitations both in disk capacity and in the computing capabilities of the hardware. MPEG for archiving video, eg, is encoded at a much higher bitrate than is MPEG for DVD release. Even on commercially released DVDs where there's scene-to-scene control of the data throughput, I've seen spots that will break up on every DVD player I've tried but which play fine on a computer. This MPEG breakup is typically on material in which there's a lot of motion.
So, in what you're planning to shoot, highly compressed MPEG (as you'll get on a cheap camera) is liable to be less satisfactory in skiing action, snowstorms, fast camera movements, etc. But MPEG might be more attractive than DV on static landscape shots. Hard to say how it would survive decoding and re-encoding.
The use of flash memory, I should mention, also creates some archiving issues, which, IMO, are unresolved.
I think for your subject matter and scale of operation, I'd go for DV. I think at the price range you're talking about, the HD cameras are not likely to be satisfactory.
The GS250 and the GS400, like all consumer cameras, have a lot of tradeoffs, but they've also got a lot to recommend them. From the features and reviews only... and I have no personal experience with either camera... I'd tend towards the GS400. I'm generally impressed by Panasonic.
Both cameras have actual viewfinders. I feel that it's important for a camera that's going to be hand-held to have an actual viewfinder, a feature that's increasingly being eliminated in consumer cameras.
While an LCD screen is a great extra accessory, good for low-angle shots, moving shots while skiing and the like, they're not easy to use outdoors as a primary viewfinder... and the ergonomics of LCD panel viewing only, which require you to extend your arms in front of you to see the screen, are, IMO, ridiculous. This is particularly true on a low-mass video camera.
One more point... to get an idea what kind of image a camera will produce online, do a search for the camera model on various of the video sharing sites. Vimeo in particular has active communities built around various pieces of hardware. You won't know, of course, how the video has been processed, but if you look at the best examples that match the kind of subject matter you'd be shooting, you'll have some basis for comparison.

A Perfect Gift to Show You Care: A Weather Radio
By Loaitza Esquilin
As the holiday of love and friendship approaches, many of us are looking for the perfect gift for the one we love.
How about a weather radio? It may not seem like the most romantic gift, but in reality it says "I love you and I care" as much as any candlelight dinner. And you'll know the people you love can be made safer by a gesture as simple as giving them a weather radio.
Natural disasters can happen anywhere at any time. The best we can do is being prepared. The main advantage of a battery-powered weather radio is that it continues to run when power is lost.
When power outages cut off our communication with the rest of the world, a weather radio helps people stay in touch and informed. Your loved ones feel safer knowing they at least have some control over the situation.
Surviving an emergency may mean having a supply of food, water and other supplies for at least three days. There will be local officials and rescue workers in the disaster area, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. Help may arrive in hours, or it might take days. That's why it is important to have both an emergency kit and weather radio handy.
If your loved ones do not already have their own emergency kit, consider creating one for them. It's a very thoughtful gift.
