Finding creative ways to reduce our ecological footprint is a central part of our daily practice.
Our sustainability efforts extend to the "Get Out!" summer season by having socially responsible and environmentally friendly art, vendors, and events. We are proud of our pledge to all things green and encourage participants to stand with us in this commitment.
The information below provides specific details about our commitment to reducing waste, reusing and recycling materials, and finding alternative methods of getting to and from our events.
by analyzing our overall consumption habitsThe first step toward sustainability is reducing our overall consumption habits.
- Reducing energy use—minimal use of electricity, water and fossil fuels
- Reducing signage and printed materials by printing as few as possible, making them smaller, using recyclable materials and non-toxic inks
- Seeking organic materials for merchandise to reduce use of pesticides
- Reducing waste by providing Park Season participants with recycling and composting bins; asking vendors and participants to limit their waste
- Recycling Park Season materials
- Encouraging the the use of cloth totes and the reduction of plastic bags
- Encouraging use of alternative forms of transportation
by making use of non-recyclablesBefore tossing anything at SAM, we think about how it can be reused.
- SAM reuses signage for multiple activities, until it requires replacement
- When signage is no longer relevant, it is used for art activities by teen and family programs, and offered to a local company, Alchemy Goods, for use in making totes and bags for sale at SAM SHOP.
- Inviting visitors to participate in art activities that employ recycled materials.
- Consider reusing containers and bags that come with the products you buy
by recycling everything we canPart of being green is recycling or keeping as many things out of landfills as possible. For Get Out! Summer at SAM this means:
- Posting recycling and composting bins throughout the park, including pre-consumer composting by vendors
- Recycling of vendor-generated material, including pre-consumer composting and recycling of grease
Support Locally Produced Art and Products
In keeping with our commitment to sustainability we seek out regional artists, vendors and products. This means:
- Focusing on regional artists' works
- Working with local teaching artists
- Supporting local food truck vendors
- Encouraging vendor products be locally-based and produced or grown
- Promoting community-based interests and educational information
Social Responsibility
Get Out! Summer at SAM involves a big community of artists, local residents, community partners and regional visitors alike. We believe that this work is about building community connections and putting our best foot forward to educate about the importance of an enhanced, livable and green urban life that has art at its center. This means:
- Recognizing the important nature of social responsibility by organizing Get Out! Summer at SAM—a culturally rich series of events for all to share
- Being a leader in and a supporter of a strong sustainability mission
- Supporting non-profit organizations that embody sustainability
- Supporting and recognizing locally-based businesses and cultural organizations
Use Alternative Transportation
We encourage taking alternative modes of transportation to Get Out! Summer at SAM to help reduce carbon emissions. This means:
- Planning ahead to carpool or rideshare (King County Metro Rideshare) or taking the bus (King County Metro bus, King County's transit site)
- Biking to the park
- Walking to the park from nearby neighborhoods
- Encouraging others to do the same

How QR Codes Can Grow Your Business
What are QR codes and how can they help your business? Keep reading to find out.
Quick Response codes (QR codes) and other two-dimensional codes are expected to achieve widespread use this year – and for good reason. Consumers want immediate access to what's relevant and QR codes are being used to make that possible.
QR Codes 101
If you're not yet familiar with QR codes, they're similar to the barcodes used by retailers to track inventory and price products at the point of sale. The key difference between the two is the amount of data they can hold or share.
Bar codes are linear one-dimensional codes and can only hold up to 20 numerical digits, whereas QR codes are two-dimensional (2D) matrix barcodes that can hold thousands of alphanumeric characters of information. Their ability to hold more information and their ease of use makes them practical for small businesses.
When you scan or read a QR code with your iPhone, Android or other camera-enabled Smartphone, you can link to digital content on the web; activate a number of phone functions including email, IM and SMS; and connect the mobile device to a web browser.
Any of these desired functions are easily achieved by properly creating your QR code. It's a simple process of entering the appropriate data into the QR code generator, described below, and it all takes just a few minutes.
The ability of QR codes to connect people with each other and to multimedia digital content is very useful for businesses and consumers alike.
The Origins of QR Codes
While QR codes are still considered a novelty here in the United States, they've been actively used for over a decade in Japan where they were invented. QR is a registered trademark of Denso Wave, a subsidiary of Toyota. Denso Wave has elected not to exercise their patent rights of QR codes and that has encouraged their widespread use.
There are other software companies that have created 2D codes that work much like QR codes, with Microsoft being the most notable. Microsoft developed their own proprietary software to create codes known as MS tags. Unlike QR codes, which can be read by a number of different readers, MS tags can only be read by the Microsoft Tag Reader.
Choosing to use QR codes or MS tags is a personal choice. It seems that MS tags presently allow for more possibilities for creative graphic designs, such as incorporating images and logos into the tag. Nevertheless, those capabilities have to be weighed against the reach and ease of use of open-source QR codes.
How QR Codes Work
QR code Generators – There are a number of sites for generating QR codes and they're all free. An Internet search for QR code generator will offer many choices.
One that has worked well for me is Kaywa, a site created by Datamatrix, which is another pioneer of 2D codes. You can use it to create QR codes that link to a web page, text, phone numbers, or SMS. Another with even greater capabilities, including customizing the color and format of your codes is Kerem Erkan.
QR code Readers – The QR code reader app that works well on my iPhone is i-nigma, which claims to be the most widely used reader in the world. It accommodates virtually any type of camera phone. For the android, you can also try Barcode Scanner. If you already own the popular price-checking app Red Laser, they've recently adapted their technology to accommodate QR code reading.
Applications for QR Codes
Sharing – There's no limit to how, or even how much, you can share with QR codes. While a video or landing page is easily shared, you could go further and share an entire eBook and even multiple pieces of content that share a common link.
Community – Sharing is how you build community, and one of the favorite arenas for doing this is Facebook. You can use Likify to create a QR code that links your mobile device to a fully functioning LIKE button for your Facebook page.
This greatly simplifies the process of merging your other communities with your Facebook page – and it is all accomplished in one click.
Additionally, the accompanying signature "thumbs-up" clearly suggests the purpose of the code.
Calls to Action – After building a community, the next logical step is to mobilize them to take action. What are you trying to accomplish? You can alternate special offers by simply linking your QR codes to new landing pages, and you can combine then with email opt-ins to build your list.
SEO and SMO – Earlier this month I wrote an article on social graphs where I discuss how web objects such as images, music clips, and videos add valuable content to your social graph. QR codes enhance both your search engine and social media optimization. Now you can increase traffic to those searchable objects to further optimize them by encouraging more sharing.
Social Proof – To help build a community offline, it can be helpful to use your vibrant online communities as social proof of your influence and expertise. As one example, you can use QR codes to link to specific blog posts that have earned an abundance of activity.
Analytics - QR codes most commonly link to urls, which is why link shortening services bit.ly and goo.gl now automatically generate a QR code for sharing your shortened links. Using goo.gl as an example, you simply click on the "more" link after you create your shortened link, where you are taken to a page that not only gives you the QR code, but useful analytics.
MyQR.co is another site that provides analytics and the ability to customize the color of your QR codes
Practical Uses of QR Codes
Here are some ways for using QR codes that are mostly in practice now, as well as a few that I believe we will be seeing in the very near future.
QR Codes could be used:
- The back (or front and back) of your business card.
- Your brochures and other marketing materials.
- The sides of trucks and trailers.
- Product tags and packaging
- Convention and event nametags
- Restaurant menus
- Event ticket stubs
- Point-of-sale receipts
QR Codes could link to:
- Installation instructions
- Sources for replacement parts and service
- Directions to your business
- The process for hiring your professional services
- Valuable coupons and special offers
- Recommendations for complementary products and services
- Free mp3 downloads
- Customer feedback forms
How you can you maximize your effectiveness with QR codes:
- Provide explanations about their use and benefits
- Encourage actions that support your marketing plan
- Assuage the fears of the technically challenged
- Give reasons to come back
- Experiment with the size, location, and color of your QR codes
- Study your analytics
- Make the process fun, such as a QR code scavenger hunt
- Experiment
Practical Examples
United Airlines – Many of the major airlines are now using 2D codes as digital boarding passes. I recently learned that by the end of 2011 all carriers will be required to provide this service for international flights.
I tried this myself and it works like a charm. My only suggestion is to not rely on the link, but rather to save a copy of the image on your phone. You don't want to risk not being able to find a good signal when you need it most!
Google Places – When you register your local business with Google Places, you'll receive a decal for your place of business that includes a QR code to your company website. Be sure that QR code links to the most relevant information that potential customers are interested in – such as hours of operation and current specials and offers.
The Cure Starts Now Foundation – This non-profit foundation is creatively using QR codes in partnership with a local small business, and the results have been favorable for both organizations.
The Cure Starts Now Foundation was started in 2007 by Keith Desserich and his wife Brooke, in honor of their six-year old daughter Elena, who died of brain cancer. They partnered with Graeter's Ice Cream, based in Cincinnati, OH, who created a special flavor of ice cream for the cause – Elena Blueberry Pie.
The marketing campaign used a QR code linking to the Cones for a Cure landing page, where your contact information is exchanged for a coupon for a free scoop of Elena Blueberry Pie ice cream.
The campaign not only surpassed the fund-raising goals, but it also helped to increase revenue and distribution for Graeter's – who actively participated in the fund-raising on a per scoop basis. The campaign will be rolled out again next year in twice as many cities.
The Future of QR Codes and Tags
The potential for QR Codes is limitless. What's most exciting is how they take what social media is doing well now, bringing people together with technology, and extending it to enhance the experience.
The next generation of barcodes will hold even more information – so much that an Internet connection will not even be necessary. The content will be effectively embedded in the code. Imagine scanning a digital code to manifest physical reality?
It's amazing to consider where this can go.

Watch the Community Service Announcement for National ID Fraud Awareness Week.
You and everyone you know could be a target of identity fraud. Are you protected?
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Personal Fraud Survey 2010-11, Australians lost $1.4 billion due to personal fraud, which includes credit card fraud, identity theft and scams.
More alarmingly, the survey estimated a total of 1.2 million Australians aged 15 years and over were victim of at least one incident of personal fraud.
International research also indicates that identity crime is the fastest growing crime type with some studies indicating growth of up to 10 per cent.
The Australian Federal Police is working together with National Identity Fraud Awareness Week, state and territory police, commonwealth and state government departments and industry to fight this crime.
Both individuals and businesses are at risk of identity theft. By practicing sound identity security habits and implementing a few personal and organisational security measures, you will join us in the fight against identity fraud.
Simple changes in personal behaviour can make a difference to identity security.
Take the survey and learn more about how you can protect yourself from identity fraudsters and scammers.
If you or your business becomes a victim of identity fraud, make sure you contact the relevant authority within your state or territory to report this crime.

Dumb but fun: Tab Effect for Firefox
This is not new, but I just saw it the other day, installed it, and liked it: Tab Effect. It's a plug-in for Firefox that adds a rotating cube effect to your screen when you change from one tab to the other. So, from a distance, people looking over your shoulder might think you're user switching on a Mac or using a much geekier Linux-based OS. And actually, I find Tab Effects adds a bit of situational awareness to my tabbed browsing experience, since the rotation of the cube matches the direction the new tab is from the … Read more

Multiple shocks are intended to keep the heat per shock down, and thus reduce fade. With multiple shocks, each shock is softer than the original, single shock (or, should be; otherwise, you just get a harsher ride). What you want is a better anti-sway bar to reduce that dipping or sway.

Utterback, EA, ATA, ATP" Subject: 84 Bronco Ignition Problem HELP!! I have a 1984 Full Size Bronco with a 351M, 4bbl Holly Carb and Electronic Iginition. I know I have a carbuerator problem. The floats are sticking and the carb loads up and floods easliy. If the truck doesn't start on the first or second try, it won't start till the carb dries out. I have been trying to restore this truck and have done almost no mechanical work at all. The Bronco had 28K on the Jasper engine and transmission when I bought it three months ago. I stripped out the interior including the dash, seats, & carpet. I was careful not to cut, pull, or damage any wiring. Since I've started putting the truck back together, it has developed a nasty ignition problem. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. The problem seems to be nondiscriminatory. It happens at odd times with no apparent common demoninator. Sometimes it won't start. Other times it starts and dies. Sometimes it dies before I can move it. Sometimes it dies while I doing 65. I've replaced the ignition switch, ignition switch module, ignition module, coil, battery, and solenoid. I've checked every wire and connection I can think of. Someone in PEPBOYS (not an emoployee - a customer who overhead me talking with my mechanic) suggested that perhaps the ignition switch module actuating rod, actuated by the ignition key, needs adjustment. Neither my wrench not I have ever heard of this. Is this legitimate? Also, if anyone out there has any suggestions I'd gladly appreciate whatever help is given.

Est. 300 hp. I havent put her through a "high mileage" test since the mods. Just back and forth to work. That extra power is lots-o-fun! Maybe I should cool-it and check the mileage. It really hasnt been that much worse so the difference could be my foot. The engine builder thinks because it is now much more efficient, that it should be better than before. Well, what do you know. After looking over my mileage journal, I cannot find the 21 mpg incident. Since I have the two tanks, I normally take the first tank to a set distance. Then I fill the first tank first, make a mental note of the gallons, divide by the miles by the first tanks gallons just for my satisfaction but dont write it down. One time, we came through a serious snow storm beginning in Redding, California up through the Siskiyou summit (4310 feet elev.). In 4-wheel drive while in the storm. Speed from 30-50 mph in the night. Things cleared up by Grants Pass. Didnt get gas until Vancouver, WA. I looked it up in my mileage book; 12-28-92, 442.8 miles, 23.36 gallons, $28.02, this calculates to 18.79 mpg. That was quite a night. The dog got sick at the top the summit while I was negotiating 12" deep snow. Had the fiberglass canopy and about 1,000 lbs. of stuff in the bed. Your questions have prompted me to "computerize" my mileage journal with Excel. Since buying this truck new in December 1991, Ive stopped 190 times for gas in 68,694 miles. (Figures include the speedometer error between the original 235s, 30x9.5x15 snow tires, and current 31x10.5x15s.) Ive pumped 4577.7 gallons for an average of 15.01 mpg. The difference between May/June (tied at 16.07 mpg) and January (lowest at 13.60 mpg) is larger than the difference between the 235's (15.51 mpg) and the 31's (14.83 mpg). Cool, now I dont feel so bad about the 31s! Of course, the average since the engine mods is 13.25 mpg as compared to 15.47 mpg (September) to 14.98 mpg (October). Hum, maybe I should give it a rest Bottom line, if you want good mileage, run the "correct" size tire, live in a temperate zone, and drive mellow. Have fun! - -David :-) In a message dated 97-11-03 11:16:18 EST, you write: > Thanks for the additional info. I read your message some time back but am > just getting around to replying.

October 17, 2012 BRP Introduces Ski-Doo X-Team Racing Plans (ED--We showed you
Ski-Doo's race sled a few weeks ago. If you happened to miss that, go here: http://www.snowest.com/snowmobile-news/display.cfm?ID=3464.
Here is a follow up on Ski-Doo's race
plans for the upcoming season.) North Branch, MN – BRP's Ski-Doo snowmobile division has finalized its racing plans for the 2012-13 winter with emphasis on snocross plus an increased cross country and ice oval endurance presence. These will compliment mainstay efforts in hillclimb, grass drags and sprint ovals as the Ski-Doo X-Team looks to better last year's stellar season. Last season proved very successful for Ski-Doo snowmobiles with X-Team racer Tim Tremblay grabbing the coveted top spot in ISOC's professional snocross series. He also took the Eagle River Snocross World Championship and he'll be back with a laser focus on defending those championships. Cross country racing proved just as prosperous when Dusty Van Meter and Mark McKenna brought home the Iron Dog win while Steve Girard and Jean-Guy AuCoin captured another Cains Quest victory--adding to the already legendary Rev-X platform reputation. Look for the X-team to continue its domination in terrain racing, both snocross and cross country, in 2013. "Snocross continues to be the most visible and exposed form of snowmobile racing and for good reason with the high flying, close quarters action" Denis Morin, vice president of engineering at BRP, said. "Because we have a philosophy of racing what we sell, and cross country emulates trail use--at a much accelerated pace--this is also another natural development tool. Consequently we will gradually increase our involvement there, while continuing in other forms of racing too." But terrain racing isn't only place the boys in yellow will be seen. The Ski-Doo X-Team will be represented in all racing disciplines with top racers and teams capable of winning at every event and supported with technical help and parts supplied from the Valcourt Race Shop. A partial list of racers and teams is below: Snocross ISOC National Series Scheuring Speedsports: Tim Tremblay, Robbie Malinoski, Darrin Mees Warnert Racing: Emil Ohman, Adam Renheim, Travis Muller BOSS Racing: Petter Narsa, Renaud Alexandre, Corey Watkinson Team Bauerly: Paul Bauerly, John Stud Boy Racing: Zach Pattyn, Nick Pattyn Royal Distributing/Hall Racing: Dylan Hall, Dave Joanis Goodwin Performance: Brett Nastala, Eddie Neubauer Independents: Willie Elam, Camryn Anderson, Corbin Anderson,

For two days, all broadcasters who will broadcast IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in 2012 visited Helsinki and Stockholm. During the site visit, all areas related to broadcasting where looked into in detail.
When the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship will start in May, preparations for the event have continued for over three years. For television companies to broadcast the Worlds is mostly about planning properly for everything as well as possible.
As the radio and TV companies visited Helsinki and Stockholm their representatives, about 40 people in total, saw and experienced the host arenas in real life and also got an opportunity to ask questions from the local organizing committee.
What do the broadcasters then need to know beforehand?
TV camera placement is of course one of the most important things, just as well as the set-up of the mixed zone and commentator areas. There will be several studios on site and therefore all possible locations where looked into. Broadcaster offices and trucks will be placed at TV compound, located next to the arenas in both venues.
Host Broadcaster for the whole event is Mediatec, whose responsibility is the produce and distribute the international TV signal for all the right holding broadcasters.
All issues related to TV and radio rights are handled by Infront Sports & Media Ag. In Finland, MTV3 is the owner of the broadcasting rights within the country whereas in Sweden, TV4 has the rights to the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.

Petco Park, San Diego, California
SAN DIEGO -- After floundering in Boston in 2011 and playing only 31 games last year due to injuries, Carl Crawford is off to the fast start he knew he needed to have with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Crawford led off with an opposite-field homer and A.J. Ellis added a two-run shot to back Chad Billingsley's strong season debut and lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-3 victory against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.Crawford homered to left field on the second pitch from Eric Stults (1-1). He tripled off the left-field wall with one out in the fifth and scored on Mark Ellis' single through a drawn-in infield to make it 4-1."I just want to play baseball," said Crawford, who came over from the Red Sox along with Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett on Aug. 25. "That's all I want to do, man. I'm not trying to prove nothing to me, you, Boston, whoever. I just want to play good baseball this year."Crawford had reconstructive elbow surgery two days before the trade and didn't get to play for the Dodgers last year.He's hitting .464 (13 of 28). This was Crawford's fourth consecutive game with multiple hits and his sixth in seven starts this season."You never know how it's going to go. You hope for the best," he said. "The last two years the way things were going for me it's kind of a surprise, but a good surprise. It's definitely fun. Even if I wouldn't have had a fast start like I'm having now, everything is just good for me right now."Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he certainly didn't expect Crawford to hit this well at the start of the season."I've seen how good Carl has been in the past and the last two years have been spotty as far as injuries and things like that, but I think we pretty much knew what he could do," Mattingly said.Billingsley (1-0) opened the season on the disabled list after bruising his right index finger during a bunting drill on March 15. He held San Diego to one run and five hits in six innings, with three strikeouts and three walks."It definitely felt great to be back out there," said Billingsley, who went on the disabled list Aug. 25 last year with pain in his right elbow. "C.C., the first at-bat of the game, he gets us a one-run lead and gave me a little cushion early."Billingsley "was sharp with his fastball," San Diego's Yonder Alonso said. "He was controlling the strike zone early in the game. He was throwing to both sides and did a good job of keeping the ball down."A.J. Ellis homered to left with one out in the second. Luis Cruz was aboard on a single.Brandon League earned his third save in as many chances, but only after allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth. The second run that inning scored when Chris Denorfia struck out but reached on a passed ball by A.J. Ellis.The Padres have given up 13 homers in eight games."Eric hung in there but they didn't miss with a couple of mistakes," Padres manager Bud Black said.San Diego's Nick Hundley had four hits to tie his career high.Stults allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings, struck out four and walked none. Every Dodgers regular except Gonzalez had at least one hit off Stults.Billingsley's only rough inning was the fourth. Will Venable drew a leadoff walk and scored on an RBI double by Denorfia. Yonder Alonso walked but was erased on a double play and Alexi Amarista flied out to end the inning.Denorfia started in place of left fielder Carlos Quentin, who was hit by a pitch on the right forearm in San Diego's 9-3 win Tuesday.Game notes
Black said Quentin was still a little sore Wednesday. ... After sitting out the last two games, Cruz singled in the second to snap an 0-for-17 slump to start the season. ... Andre Ethier has a hit in his first seven games this season to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Padres 3B Chase Headley took batting practice for the first time since breaking his left thumb in a spring game on March 17. He said he felt no pain. Headley will likely go on a rehab assignment in the minors before being activated. ... The series concludes Thursday night when Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke (1-0, 0.00 ERA) faces RHP Jason Marquis (0-1, 3.00). ... Black had Mark Kotsay pinch-hit for Amarista in the eighth. Kotsay remained in the game at 1B, forcing Black to move Alonso to 2B in the top of the ninth. After Gonzalez singled to right past the diving Alonso, he and 3B Jedd Gyorko swapped positions. They switched back after Ethier was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

The specifications of a telescope are NOT the only specs that matter. The other half of the equation is the specifications of the eyepiece. Telescope eyepieces are made in different models and sizes to accommodate different observing methods and celestial objects. For example, understanding the focal length of your optical tube divided by the focal length of your eyepiece will result in magnification, which in return can tell you whether it is more suitable for deep space low surface brightness observation or planetary/terrestrial high surface brightness observation. For example, if you wanted to observe an object such as the Andromeda Galaxy with a large apparent diameter, an eyepiece with a long focal length and large apparent field of view would excel over an eyepiece with a shorter focal length and small apparent field of view because it would be able to accommodate the size of the object at low magnification and high FOV while not getting dimmer images as you would with short focal lengths. If you plan on observing planets, a short focal length eyepiece with a small FOV will result in high magnification to observe details on the surface (eg. Great Red Spot). You'll get a dimmer image, but since planets are already bright as it is, this won't be an issue. - Note: Almost all eyepieces come in 2" or 1.25" barrel size forms.

Colin Powell on Homeland SecuritySecretary of State (Pres. Bush Cabinet) | |
For 6 decades, we learned the lessons of the Nuremberg men and women well. We continued to stand for the right things. We didn't start wars--we ended them. We didn't commit torture--we condemned it. We didn't turn away from the world--we embraced it.
But that has changed in the past few years. There's a sense that "the world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism." Those are not my words; they belong to former secretary of state and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell.
If, for 60 years, a single word, Nuremberg, has best captured America's moral authority and commitment to justice, unfortunately, another word now captures the loss of such authority and commitment: Guantanamo.
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE COLIN POWELL: If it was up to me, I would close Guantanamo. Not tomorrow, but this afternoon. Every morning I pick up a paper and some authoritarian figure, some person somewhere is using Guantanamo to hide their own misdeeds. And so essentially, we have shaken the belief that the world had in America�s justice system by keeping a place like Guantanamo open.Q: Do you agree with Secretary Powell?
A: I know it�s become a symbol of what�s wrong. It�s more symbolic than it is a substantive issue, because people perceive of mistreatment when, in fact, there are extraordinary means being taken to make sure these detainees are being given, really, every consideration.
Today, we are the most powerful nation on earth -- militarily, economically, by any measure. We are that rarity in history, a trusted nation whose power is tempered by compassion, whose leadership is earned by example and whose foreign affairs will be guided by common interests and common sense.
We defeated communism. We defeated fascism. We defeated them on the field of battle, and we defeated them on the field of ideas.
The sick nations that still pursue the fool�s gold of tyranny and weapons of mass destruction will soon find themselves left behind in the dust bin of history.
They are investing in their own demise as surely as the Soviet Union did by investing in the Red Army. They are of the past, and we are of the future. Count on it.
A. Yes, but at a reduced level than today. I don�t see any new big initiatives in the immediate future.
Q. That makes it hard for Sandia [a defense research contractor] to recruit new talent - who wants to come to work for a company to oversee old technology?
A. As long as there are nuclear weapons, there will be a need for Sandia. But to keep your intellectual capital, you have to create a new mission for yourself. I know you have a symposium coming up on terrorism - that�s good. You need to continue to identify those places where you can add value and state those missions. Otherwise, you will continue to see your funding go down.
Q. Shouldn�t a mission come from down from the President?
A. Yes, of course you need backing or direction from on top, but you can influence and define that mission yourselves. [You should let] the President know what your mission should be.
A. Actually, I wasn�t on TV as much as you might think. But, I also realized that every time I talked to CNN I had five audiences:
1. the reporterI kept saying, Colin, remember, five audiences, five audiences.
2. the American people
3. the heads of every state-kings, queens, prime ministers, everybody
4. the enemy
5. the soldier-who is listening to the military broadcast on his shortwave
Following the SDI speech, Senator Ted Kennedy branded the idea a �reckless Star Wars scheme,� a term which, because of the wildly popular movie, stuck. I am not ideologically liberal or conservative, but I believe the liberal community made a serious mistake by ridiculing this concept out of hand as unwise even if it could be done. The real problem, I think, was that Ronald Reagan�s critics could not bear the thought that he had proposed a major conceptual breakthrough in the nuclear stalemate.
The Base Force strategy [in the late 1980s] called for armed forces capable of fighting two major regional conflicts �near simultaneously.� The BUR ended up again with a defense based on the need to fight two regional wars, the Bush strategy, but with Clinton campaign cuts. The Base Force disappears as a term, but it was the lineal ancestor of the BUR force. What is not clear is whether the cuts have taken us below the levels required to support the BUR strategy. That mission may change, but it is appropriate for the present post-Cold War transition period.
The chiefs of staff brought up practical problems that gay integration presented on crowded ships, in cramped barracks, and in other intimate situations. At one point I proposed, �We could stop asking about sexual orientation when people enlist.� Gays and lesbians could serve as long as they kept their lifestyle to themselves. This change would no doubt be condemned as discriminatory by gay rights activists, and military traditionalists would probably call it a surrender. I concluded, �It might provide a practical compromise.�
Nine months later, Congress approved that policy, short-handed as �Don�t ask. Don�t tell.� The courts will ultimately decide this issue once and for all. And whichever way they rule, the US military will comply with the law of the land. I stand by what I have done.
[The proposed solution was] to create an independent commission to review, every two years, closings proposed by the Pentagon. The idea was to insulate these closings from political pressures. The commission submitted a �take it or leave it� list for the Congress to vote up or down. This system worked. Nevertheless, our having to go through this song and dance to shut down expensive but unneeded facilities is an example of Congress�s shameful unwillingness to abandon the pork barrel and make the hard decisions the people elect it to make.

Nobody's happy all the time (don't let those emoticons fool you).
A range of emotions—and the ability to express them—are what make you human, female and beautiful, as Eva Mendes shows in every single photo here. "I can't conceal anything. If I'm feeling it, everyone knows it," says Mendes, who recently finished shooting Last Night, a romantic drama with Keira Knightley due out in spring, and who emotes all over the place in those provocative Calvin Klein ads with model Jamie Dornan. Thing is, scientific findings show negative emotions can ultimately take a toll on your appearance if you don't deal with them in a healthy way. So every woman needs to learn to vent, to cope and to repair the damage. Keep reading!

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Audubon Backyard Winter Bird Survey next weekend
According to Becky Suomala, survey coordinator, the society needs help from as many bird watchers state-wide as possible. She suggests stocking up bird feeders and digging out your binoculars in preparation for identifying and counting birds. Becky wrote: "Anyone can participate in the Backyard Winter Bird Survey by counting the birds in their own backyard and reporting online or sending the results on a special reporting form to N.H. Audubon. To receive a copy of the reporting form and complete instructions on how to participate, send a self-addressed, stamped long envelope to N.H. Audubon Winter Bird Survey, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord, N.H. 03301. Find more information at www.nhaudubon.org under the birding page.

After reading our column on the subject of furnishing water for birds during the winter a gentleman from Hampstead commented: "I wanted to share some information with you pertaining to heated bird baths. I purchased a 20-inch diameter heated bird bath with metal stand, model API 970, made by Allied Precision Industries in October 2012. I paid $59.99 on sale. This is the second winter I have had it and can report that not once has the water frozen, regardless of ambient temperature or wind chill. In spite of the sub-zero temperatures and frigid wind chill factors early this winter, the birds have reveled and socialized in and on the rim of the bird bath all daylong.
"Crack-proof even in sub-zero conditions, the bowl measures 20 inches in diameter by 2 inches deep. A 30-inch high metal stand with a 15-inch power cord comes with it. Also it can be mounted on a wooden deck railing. A built-in thermostat and 150 watts of power prevent the bird bath from becoming a skating pond, even in the coldest days. Completely hidden from surface view, the heating element automatically keeps water temperature between 40 and 50 degrees F. and will shut off power if the bowl is empty.

Fifty-five words sum up the origin and the purpose of America. Yet few Americans know what those words are, let alone what they mean. When the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation commissioned a survey a few years ago to measure Americans' knowledge of the founding, it discovered that only three in 10 of those who responded could identify where the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" appear.
This is a problem of education.
Those words are located in the Declaration of Independence, which says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Today, the Declaration is as controversial as it is unfamiliar. And yet recent efforts by courageous state lawmakers in Arizona, Utah and New Jersey to remedy the problem and restore America's founding principles to their rightful authority have met tremendous opposition. Why?
Consider the bill that passed in Arizona's House this week that would require elementary school students to say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each school day. That bill also includes a provision to require students in 4th through 6th grades to recite that short passage from the Declaration.
The problem? A liberal contingent fears that such a law even a watered-down version that lets students to opt out of the recitations will invite a slew of lawsuits. Naturally, the American Civil Liberties Union objects, detecting a faint odor of religion ("endowed by their Creator" uh oh) in Jefferson's prose.
New Jersey lawmakers debated a similar recitation bill for 13 years. The bill was tabled once again this February because a number of Garden State Democrats have a problem with such politically incorrect words as "men, "Creator," and "right to life." They say the men who founded the country are bad role models for children (some of them owned slaves) and that their ideas are old hat.
But these laws are not objectionable simply because they contain words that make some people feel uncomfortable. The very idea of teaching children about freedom and patriotism is, to the laws' opponents, unseemly and maybe even un-American.
When California passed a law in 1996 that required high school students to read the Declaration, the Constitution, and other important founding documents, Democrats hammered the bill. In the words of one state assemblyman, the law "contradicts freedom [and] by its nature is calculated to teach fascism, not democracy."
The general objection here is that if kids are somehow compelled to recite patriotic language indeed, the most patriotic language they will be ruined. Besides, isn't it better to teach children the principles of the Declaration rather than make them memorize it?
Only if one believes this is an either-or proposition. It's a cherished doctrine of the education establishment that "facts don't matter." Knowing "how to think" is what counts. Fact is, children today are barely acquainted with the principles on which the country was founded. Results of the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress on Civics, released in November, offer a mountain of evidence on this point.
For example, 93% of 4th graders knew that Bill Clinton is president. But only 43% of them knew that he signs bills into laws. And only 26% could answer a multiple-choice question about a political cartoon that showed how "apathy is bad for democracy."
America's founders knew better than we the importance of a good civic education. They believed that government "by the people" could not survive if the people were ignorant or uninterested in how politics work.
Jefferson outlined what he thought should be the goals of public education in America. Among other things, it should "give every citizen the information he needs for the transaction of his own business," "improve, by reading, his morals and faculties," and teach the citizen to "know his rights; to exercise with order and justice those he retains."
Love and respect for the great American experiment in free government does not appear out of thin air. Freedom and self-government are habits. Habits are formed out of repetition. They must be learned. Let's teach them.
