Post subject: PR Officer for Bases - looking for volunteers
It's been suggested that in order to help increase public awareness of Rebel Legion, that bases have a specific "PR Officer" who works directly with the Legion PR team.
It is not a required position, but if we have someone who meets these qualifications and would like to volunteer that would be fabulous! Please get in touch with me if you would be interested.
Basic Qualifications we are looking at:
1) Some graphics and design capability. In other words, you can create some eye catching promotional items like Base Specific flyers and posters using Photoshop or Illustrator. You would work with the PR team to make sure they meet the requirements of our style guide. And you could also potentially help the PR team with legion wide projects.
2) Help coordinate posting of fliers and what not at local comic-book stores.
3) Keep our Facebook account updated with upcoming events, a selection of event photos, etc. (and if possible, help update our Endor Base web site).
4) Send in stories and photos to Mary Franklin at Bantha Tracks if we have had a base event that could be of interest to them! Be sure to mention the Rebel Legion in whatever you send them.
Currently, these are just things that the CO, XO, and Regional Captains are doing to some degree. Though there has been no concentrated PR effort, so sometimes potential Bantha Tracks submissions slip through the cracks, I don't know that we've had any real coordinated effort to get our recuritment flyers posted at comic-book shops, etc.
PR is something all base members can help with though! Jon Paulson, a member of the PR team, wrote up this great article:
From Comlink issue 7:
A couple things regarding RL PR ...
- There was no such thing prior to CIV. On a uniform, international level I mean. The Bases were out there promoting in their own diverse ways. Looked at globally, or even nationally, we looked pretty rag-tag. I started discussions with Hofmann at CIV to start a cohesive overhaul Legionwide. Now we actually have procedures for Bases to follow when producing their own items to be in compliance with the RL's corporate brand.
- The Legion's PR team has recently grown. We started out with only 3 of us. Now we have a decent handful, the only problem being that for the most part, they're the same people doing everything. (Base positions, Comlink, LCJs, DCO/DXOs, etc.).
- The Legion DOES HAVE PR MATERIALS. Besides the Comlink, there's a Costume Guide, Trading Cards, a FAQs sheet, a Recruitment Flyer, a Press Kit, and as soon as I can finish it, a Legion Style Guide. Oh, and that doesn't include the RL Business Cards (which in my opinion, every RL member [Yes, you too] should be carrying a handful of). It's just a matter of getting the info out into the public's hands. I hope to have an article in the next Comlink about just this subject.
- We're underfunded. More on that later.
- Identity crisis. Lots of our members belong to other groups as well. We need to train ourselves to think (and say) RL first. Doesn't mean that we're not just as loyal to the others, but we're talking about RL PR here.
A couple things regarding 501st PR ...
- They've been around longer. We won't catch up for another 5-10 years, so don't sweat it. Just keep preaching the "good guy" gospel and people will begin picking up on it.
- They have more money. It's true, they wouldn't be buying armor if they didn't. Therefore, occasionally we need to pass the hat (especially so Donna doesn't go bankrupt trying to keep us afloat). Best thing you can do to help is to throw some ducats in when it comes round to you. Doesn't have to be a lot, but $5 here, $10 there goes a long way if everyone ponies up. And really, that's what ... one drink at Comic-Con? Pace yourself and it can help buy a heck of a lot of swag.
- They have Damian. (Okay, officially we do too, but we have to be able to afford him... see previous comments about money.)
- They have the numbers. Yup, they're the BIG, "bad" Empire. Lots of reasons why, time, coolness-factor, etc. But they have lots of people willing to dive in to support something they care about, while the RL as a whole seems lacking in that regard. Esprit' de Corps counts for a lot.
- They don't have an identity crisis. They know who they are and they spread the word. We have some challenges in this quarter. For instance, consider this scenario: You're a dual 501st/RL member and you're wearing a Rebel costume at a 501st event. Someone from the public or media comes up and asks you what is your group called. You answer "501st". Well, you just shot the RL in the foot and wonder why we don't get press? Seems reasonable that if you're wearing rebel gear, the answer should be "RL" and if you're in imperial garb, the answer is "501st". This is part of the public's perception of us. We've got good guys out there saying they're "501st", so thats what the public carries away with them. Oh, and BTW, it is perfectly OK to tell people about both groups and that you're a member of both. In fact, it may be preferable as it shows us as a big happy family working together.
What can YOU do to help?
- Be RL. Be Proud. Most of you have this down. Keep it up. Take the high-road. Play nice. All those things. The more we do them, the more events we'll get to attend, and the whole cycle will begin again, but bigger.
- Pitch In. With time, with money, with events. Everything helps. Print things out, hand them out, drop them at your local hobby/game/comic stores. Tip the kitty when the time comes for nicer PR swag. WORK ANY AND ALL RECRUITMENT TABLES!!!! Come up with ideas for materials, table setups, banners, etc. For example, this year there will be a Hazard Squadron flyer on our SDCC table. I don't know if anyone will pick one up, but I figured, why not try? I was only able to print 100 and trifold them, but I'll be emailing the PDF out to others and hopefully some of them can print some as well. The more people pitch in, the more stock we'll have. And that's a recurring theme in the whole PR game.
- Be Recognizable. That means at events, or while working a table, or while doing costume support - wear RL specific gear. Preferably NOT black as that's the 501st's traditional color. This is especially important at Comic-Con, our #1 recruitment opportunity of the year. There really shouldn't be a 501st, FanForce, Random Star Wars, or Comic shirt behind out table. No offense to any other group, but it's the RL table and only RL apparel and costumes should be behind the table. Ideally, if the person behind the table isn't in costume, there should be someone standing in front who is. After all, we are a COSTUMING group.
- Preach the Rebel Gospel. Sounds grandiose, but it's not. Just tell people about the RL at every opportunity and not just at SW events. Market us everywhere anyone shows interest. The 501st talk themselves up everywhere we go, we should to. The more people hear about about us, the more gets back to LFL, the more requests there will be for us. It's okay to talk about, mention and even recruit for other groups, but hit the RL notes first. Walking around in costume at Comic-Con? Why not have a small sign taped to your back that says "Ask me about the Rebel Legion. You know you want to." Sounds corny, but you know, at CC, it just might work. (And have a RL card on hand, just in case - see a theme here?)
- Be Professional & Helpful. At all times. You never know when someone is a potential event client or recruit. If someone's kind of interested, but wants something more social, point them towards FanForce, but remind them where and what we are. Someone's dying to be a TK? Tell them about the 501st, better yet take them to their table (but along the way, explain who we are and that a lot of people have dual membership and that the groups are non-exclusive). Not only will you build good-will with the other groups, but the person you're helpful will go away from the experience with a good feeling about the RL. And don't forget, when you do send them on their way, make sure they have printed RL information in their hands. Everyone we treat right and leave with a positive experience is libel to tell more people about us.
- Be an Event Coordinator (kinda). Find events and head them up. Be willing to be a POC. Be organized, professional and make sure to invite BOTH sides to play. As we all know, the public wants to see both sides of the coin. If someone comes to you asking for you to round up people, go for it! If you see events on other Boards, inquire about cross-posting. As far as the 501st goes, both Lesley and Scott have said that if it says anywhere in the post that Rebel or RL costumes are invited, that's your permission to post it over here. DON'T ASSUME SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT! If you do head up an event, cross-post it as we know its hard to get 501sters over here.

Since I'm no longer BCO, I'm no longer a Council Member - but I still host and operate the Endor Base web site, designed and helped maintain the standards binder, and designed our business card and base fliers - I'd like to re-volunteer to be the base PR officer since I essentially am already doing that job and it's no problem to continue. (I was filling in as dual PR officer/BCO the first year the position opened).

I'm not sure who first came up with the term "spam can" to designate a basic, fixed-tricycle-gear, aluminum airplane. Spam itself originated in the late 1930s, and Hormel, the manufacturer of the soon-to-be-ubiquitous pork shoulder/ham product, actually started calling it "Spam" to make it sound jazzier. It needn't have bothered.
One of the defining characteristics of Spam, of course, aside from its less-than-mouth-watering taste, was its packaging. It was vacuum-packed in cans of aluminum so thin that the top could simply be peeled away. Which is undoubtedly the link. A spam can, whether a disposable ammunition box (Chrysler produced a bunch of ammo containers known as "spam cans" during World War II) or an inexpensive aluminum aircraft, came to mean any cheap, somewhat flimsy and mass-produced aluminum container.
Calling something a spam can, in other words, is not exactly a breathtaking compliment — something every single "spam can" airplane owner knows all too well.
New airplanes are admired for their pristine looks and advanced technology. It's cool to own a new airplane. It's also a status symbol, because to buy a new airplane, you have to have some serious cash in the bank. Same goes for a high-performance single, twin or other get-there-go-fast design.
Antique, classic and sport planes have their own panache. A tailwheel of any kind signifies someone willing to trade off ease of operation for excitement or nostalgic experience. An aerobatic plane is cool because it's a lot harder to fly (it's built to do anything but stay level and upright), and flying one entails more risk. An old classic is cool because it says that its owner has a bit of timeless poet in the soul.
Spam cans offer no such panache, status or coolness. A spam can speaks of a pilot who wants to be in the air but doesn't want to have to work overmuch at it — in the air or on the ground. Fixed gear. Single engine. Easy aluminum construction, well suited to the less expensive tiedowns outside. Tricycle gear to make every landing easier. A Piper Warrior or Grumman Cheetah is not, never has been and most likely never will be a status symbol. At least, not within the ranks of aviation.
I even wrote about the embarrassment of owning such an uncool airplane, back when I first bought the Cheetah some 12 years ago:
"It should be a simple enough question. I can see that reflected in the perplexed eyes of everyone who asks. And yet months after buying my new plane, I still find myself stumbling painfully over the answer. Time after time, the interchange is the same. 'So, you've bought an airplane!' some innocent bystander remarks. I nod proudly. Then comes the inevitable follow-up. 'What kind?'
"My eyes drop guiltily to the ground. I shuffle my feet and stuff my hands into my pockets, stumbling for explanation as I struggle to meet their gaze. 'Well, you see,' I begin, 'what I finally decided was that living here in the Los Angeles basin, it's really not a good putt-around place, you know, so what I really figured I needed, or what was most important … ' Thinking, perhaps, that I didn't understand the question, my confused listeners try again. 'Yes,' they interject, 'but what KIND of airplane did you buy?'
"There is no escape. With a guilt-ridden sigh, like a Catholic at confession, I own up to it. 'A Grumman Cheetah,' I say in a voice full of apology, half expecting a bolt of lightning to come and strike me down for my sin. Because for someone indoctrinated into the Society of True Believers of Old Tailwheel Flying Machines, I have done the unthinkable. I have committed the unpardonable heretical act, a crime worthy of excommunication or worse. I have bought the forbidden — a modern machine with a training wheel in front, with aluminum for wings, something 'anyone' could fly. I have bought … the proverbial spam can."
In the past 10 years, an additional criticism has been added to the pile. A spam can, brokers tell me with a shake of the head and a pitying sigh, does not have glass. To hear some of them talk about it, anyone who owns an airplane built between 1960 and 1999 might as well just relegate it to the junk pile.
"Nobody's buying anything that's not glass these days," one broker told me. "They just don't sell."
Terrific. I now own an airplane that's not only uncool but also, apparently, unmarketable.
It's not that I have any delusions of grandeur. I own a 33-year-old airplane. Which means that it has the same kind of troubles that a 33-year-old house has. Something is always in need of improvement or repair. And sometimes, that's frustrating.
A few weeks ago, I called my friend Marty and asked if he wanted to go flying. Marty lives up in California's Sierra Foothills. But he owns a 1965 Cherokee 180 (which makes my spam can look positively new!), so we made arrangements for him to fly down to Livermore, where I keep the Cheetah, and fly to lunch somewhere.

Better pack for Betta Foods
"The benefit of a resealable feature is twofold," says John Roumelle, marketing manager at Betta Foods. "It serves as a visual differentiating factor at point of purchase, and it allows our brands to stand out based on the added convenience."
Betta Foods partnered with Zip-Pak (www.zippak.com) and Propac Industrial Pty Ltd. (www.propac.com.au) to commission a new Propac form/fill/seal AV-2.2 machine that applies Zip-Pak press-to-close zippers on polypropylene laminated film packaging for the liquorice range. The machine packs AllSorts in 8.78-oz (250-g), 14.05-oz (400-g), and 35.27-oz (1-kg) gusseted stand-up bags and Bullets candy in 7.025-oz (200-g) and 4.05-oz (400-g) pillow pouches.
With zipper application in the transverse direction, the machine allows easy changeover in less than an hour to produce either pillow packages for Bullets or quad-seal packages for AllSorts. The film is a BOPP/CPP trapped print lamination with flexographic printing in eight colors. The filled pouches are packed into paperboard shippers by hand.

LCRA seeks emergency order to extend to end of rice-growing seasonJune 19, 2013, 2:00 pm by James Walker The Lower Colorado River Authoritys board of directors Wednesday unanimously approved a recommendation from the authoritys staff to ask the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to okay an emergency drought relief order that will extend to the end of the rice growing season in the rivers lower basin later this year. LCRA Deputy General Manager Henry Eby had signaled at a committee meeting Tuesday that the staff would ask the directors at their regular monthly board meeting to ask for an extension of the current drought order that curtails water to the rice farmers. "We believe it is appropriate to seek another extension of the emergency order, Eby told the board members during a discussion by the authoritys water operations committee. With a record-breking drought continuing to ravage the state, LCRA has requested and received permission from the TCEQ to implement emergency drought orders each of the past two years that cuts off water to the rice farmers in an effort to preserve water in the Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan reservoirs that provide drinking water for more than a million Central Texas residents. For more on this story, see Wednesday's Bulletin or Llano County Journal. Reader Commentsenough is enough. Let the farmers drill their own well like we has to do in Waller and Harris Co. It should not be extended.
The drought was on when the rice farmers planted the rice,and they knew full well what was ahead. This was their plans from the beginning to plead mercy for water. They would do this to the extent of drying off the river.
They need to do what all the other farmers in areas that don't have rivers to draw from.( invest in irrigation systems with the subsidies they receive from the Government. Vince, you misunderstand. Extending the order will PREVENT releases to rice farmers, not enable them. I am from Wharton County. These folks LOVE cheap water from LCRA. Everyone else 30-40 miles from the river drills their own wells. The FAT CATS of the county live close to the river because the rates are sooooo cheap that the farmers do not need to drill for water |

Heroic U.S. Performance Thwarted by Brazil as South Americans Grab 1-0 Victory in Mexico
GUADALAJARA, Mexico (Wednesday, July 28, 1999) - The U.S. National Team gave up a goal in the first half, yet attacked exceptionally well and controlled much of the second half in a 1-0 loss to Brazil this evening in the opening round of the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup in Mexico. The narrow loss s
July 28, 1999
"I think it was a very good game, tactically, by both teams," said U.S. Head Coach Bruce Arena. "We got our opportunities in this match, and that's really all we could ask for."
The game-winner for the Brazilians came off the head of 19-year old sensation Ronaldinho in the 12th minute. Serginho collected the ball on the left side and sent a driven cross into the penalty area. Ronaldinho met the cross on the run with a redirected header that smashed off the right post and into the goal, giving Kasey Keller no chance to make the save.
Having outshot the Brazilians 13-8 in the match, the U.S. began to demonstrate in the first half that they would not merely sit back and defend against the top ranked team in the world. The Americans defended in numbers against the quick Brazilians, and counter-attacked often, particularly through Jovan Kirovski, who held the ball and fed passes to Cobi Jones, Ernie Stewart and Brian McBride.
The USA's best chance of the first half came in the 30th minute after Jeff Agoos played a long, accurate ball down the left flank to Jones. The U.S. midfielder squirted into the area past Evanilson and cut the ball back into the path of McBride. McBride's 16-yard blast was blocked down to the feet of Jones, and his shot was saved by Brazilian 'keeper Dida.
Behind the defensive midfield work of John Harkes (later subbed by Joe-Max Moore) and Gregg Berhalter, and the back four of Agoos, Carlos Llamosa, Robin Fraser and Frankie Hejduk, the Americans clogged up space in the middle of the field and frustrated the Brazilian attack.
In the second half, the tide began to swing towards the Americans, who looked the fitter team and began to take better advantage of its flank play. Jones' tireless running created numerous opportunities, while Eddie Lewis (an offensive substitute for Llamosa) added his left-footed crosses to the American attack.
At the other end of the field, however, Keller was forced into making his best save of the match in the 63rd minute. Second half substitute Warley dribbled free on breakaway from 40 yards out on the left side. With Robin Fraser closing on the Brazilian from behind, Keller glided off his line, dove low to his left, and made a superb save while offering no rebound.
Twelve minutes later, the USA earned its best chance to level the score after Jones was fouled inside the penalty area. Agoos set up the play with an exceptional pass to isolate Jones one-on-one on the flank. The resulting penalty kick was taken by Joe-Max Moore, who charged up and drilled a right-footed shot heading towards the left corner, but at full extension Dida made the world-class save to keep the shutout in order.
The United States will round out Group B play against Germany on Friday (July 30; 6 p.m. CT). Should the U.S. defeat or tie Germany on Friday (assuming Brazil does not lose to New Zealand) the Americans would face the Group A champion on Sunday (July 1) at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
"It will be a test of endurance and a test of skill," said Arena about the match-up against Germany on Friday.
ARENA AVAILABLE TO MEDIA TOMORROW DURING CONFERENCE CALL: U.S. National Team Head Coach Bruce Arena will be available to the media TOMORROW (Thursday, July 29) at 2 p.m. ET during a media conference call from Mexico. Arena will discuss the USA-Brazil match and preview the all-important USA-Germany match, which will talk place on Friday here in Guadalajara.

By Jo Ann Frier-Murza
Along-abandoned mine shaft in rural New Jersey has been known as a wintering spot for as many as 20,000 little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). Last winter a concerned citizen called the New Jersey Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) to report that the opening had been covered with a foot-thick wall of concrete. He pleaded for help for the thousands of entombed, hibernating bats. We immediately began a series of phone calls and personal contacts to reopen the entrance. Bat Conservation International was instrumental in providing information and referrals to people who could advise us on gating procedures and conservation measures.
The mine was first brought to our attention after a 1980 survey for endangered Indiana bats discovered that, while no Indiana bats were found in the mine, it could be one of the top little brown bat colonies in the United States. Dr. John Hall of Albright College, who conducted the survey, recommended that the original gate be replaced with a new design to improve habitat for the bats. A heavy boilerplate and angle-iron barrier with a small opening torched through it had been covering the entrance for at least 15 years. Unfortunately, funding for nongame wildlife was pitifully small at that time, and the hibernaculum didn't receive any further attention until the urgent phone call early last year.
The current landowner, a major development corporation, had been in the process of sealing all vertical shafts and included the horizontal shaft that the bats used because they wanted to end vandalism and liability problems. They were sympathetic to the needs of the bats but weren't aware of what those needs might be. They had left an opening in the concrete measuring only about 6 inches by 17 inches. Worse yet, the concrete was placed directly against the original barrier which consisted of crossed four-inch angle irons. The amount of space left for 20,000 or more bats to leave was no more than a few four-inch squares.
Bats are completely protected from killing, collection, or possession by the New Jersey Endangered and Nongame Species Conservation Act. Because of this and the company's co operative attitude, we were able to have the entrance reopened within two weeks. It was restored to the original configuration which allows bats to pass through the crossed angle irons at the upper portion o the entrance. Although even the old barrier restricted the movement of animals and fresh air, bats were able to leave after hibernation and use the area during the summer as they have for decades.
As a result of this incident, the ENSP and the mine owners have become more knowledgeable about how changes in the shaft affect the bat population. The owner has taken the initiative of contacting outside experts for a new gate design, and work will begin in Spring 1990.
We are all hopeful that the new gate will preserve and enhance the hibernaculum and perhaps increase bat numbers and local use in the next few years. Additional funding from a state income tax check-off for wildlife has made it possible for the ENSP to devote resources to monitoring the site once it is properly gated.
Jo Ann Frier-Murza is the Bureau Chief for the New Jersey Endangered and Nongame Species Program. She is also a member of BCI.

At this point I haven resigned myself to the Bobcats finishing yet another season with the worst record in the NBA. What am I happy about? I am happy with the progress that Kemba Walker has made. I am happy with the pick of MKG - With more talent around him next season and another year to mature physically I can't wait to see what he will do. I love the pickup of Ramon Sessions for this team because he is valuable asset moving forward.
What I am disappointed in? I am disappointed in Biyombo's development. He is way to inconsistent and needs to show a huge amount of progress next season or I will start to label him as a bust. I am disappointed in Byron Mullens offensive game. I thought he would develop into a better shooter and a more consistent shooter. He takes way too many shots.
I will be very interested to see what the Bobcats do and if they make a trade over the next few weeks before the deadline.
But what has me the most excited? The fact that the Cats are going to likely have the #1 or #2 Pick and the Trail Blazers 1st Round Pick somewhere in the range of 13-16
Why does that have me excited? Because the Bobcats have the worst front-court in the NBA by a wide margin. They are terrible rebounders and don't have any post play or pick-and-roll bigs.
Previously, I thought the Cats should draft Shabazz Muhammad but I have been wavering on that. Now I am of the opinion that they should draft Nerlens Noel at #1/#2 because at 6'11 with a 7'4 wingspan and great athleticism he would give the Cats something they have never had. Then in that #13-#16 range take a risk on one of the young SG prospects that have a lot of potential - Glenn Robinson III, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, or Reggie Bullock.
Amnesty Tyrus and then make a huge push in free agency for Al Jefferson. The more I have watched the Jazz this season I would pay Jefferson some serious cash. Could you see this roster next year?
PG: Kemba/Sessions
SG: Gerald/Gordon/Caldwell-Pope

Born on August 18, 1774, near Ivy, Virginia, Meriwether Lewis, in 1801, was asked by President Thomas Jefferson to act as his private secretary. Jefferson made Lewis another offer—to lead an expedition into the lands west of the Mississippi, which he did after enlisting William Clark. With the help of Sacagawea, the team successfully reached the Pacific Ocean in November of 1805.
Work for Jefferson
Explorer and soldier Meriwether Lewis was born on August 18, 1774, near Ivy, Virginia. As a member of the state militia, Lewis helped to quell the Whiskey Rebellion, a Pennsylvania uprising led by farmers against taxes, in 1794. The next year he served with William Clark, a man who would later help him on one of the greatest expeditions of all time. Lewis joined the regular army and achieved the rank of captain. In 1801, he was asked by President Thomas Jefferson to act as his private secretary.
Jefferson made Lewis another offer—to lead an expedition into the lands west of the Mississippi. Already eager to know more about these lands, Jefferson's interest in the area increased with purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. Jefferson asked Lewis to gather information about the plants, animals, and peoples of the region. Lewis jumped at the chance and selected old friend William Clark to join him as co-commander of the expedition.
The Expedition Begins
Lewis, Clark, and the rest of their expedition began their journey near St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1804. This group—often called the Corps of Discovery by historians—faced nearly every obstacle and hardship imaginable on their trip. They braved dangerous waters and harsh weather and endured hunger, illness, injury and fatigue. Along the way, Lewis kept a detailed journal and collected samples of plants and animals he encountered.
Lewis and his expedition received assistance in their mission from many of the native peoples they met during their journey westward. The Mandans provided them with supplies during their first winter. It was during this time that expedition picked up two new members, Sacagawea and Touissant Charbonneau. The two acted as interpreters for the expedition and Sacagawea, Charbonneau's wife and a Shoshone Indian, was able to help get horses for the group later in the journey.
Reaching the Pacific
The Corps of Discovery reached the Pacific Ocean in November of 1805. They built Fort Clatsop and spent the winter in present-day Oregon. On the way back in 1806, Lewis and Clark split up to explore more territory and look for faster route home. Lewis and his men faced great danger when a group of Blackfeet Indians sought to steal from the corps in late July. Two Blackfeet were killed in the ensuing conflict.
The next month, Lewis was shot in the thigh by one of his own men during a hunt. Lewis and Clark and their two groups joined up again at the Missouri River and made the rest of the trek to St. Louis together. In total, the expedition traveled roughly 8,000 miles by boat, on foot, and on horseback.

Wild West
The Wild West holds a special place in American history—Western films depict it as a place where the rules didn't apply, and where scores were settled with gun slinging and shootouts. The colorful characters who made up the old West were men, women, cowboys, Indians, sheriffs just plain outlaws. Though we've come to have a more nuanced understanding of the good and the bad of the old West, we can still learn from the stories of the people who made it and who wrote about what it was.

Abstract: Ultraviolet spectroscopy has been implemented for over thirty years to monitorvolcanic SO2 emissions. These data have provided valuable information concerningunderground magmatic conditions, which have been of utility in eruption forecastingefforts. During the last decade the traditionally used correlation spectrometers have beenupgraded with miniature USB coupled UV spectrometers, opening a series of exciting newempirical possibilities for understanding volcanoes and their impacts upon the atmosphere.Here we review these technological developments, in addition to the scientific insightsthey have precipitated, covering the strengths and current limitations of this approach.

In June, the European Union [official website] criticized [JURIST report] Iraq for discriminatory practices and for imprisoning a lawyer for his actions in opposition to the government's discriminatory policies. UN human rights experts also criticized Iraq in May for harsh sentences [JURIST report] it gave to lawyers who fight for human rights. A month earlier, US President Barack Obama [JURIST news archive] issued an executive order [JURIST report] sanctioning the use of technology to commit human rights abuses and indicated that Iran and Syria had both committed abuses using technology.

Everyone Loves Goldman Sachs' Harvey Schwartz
Which is not to say that we'd expect Goldman to assign the role of chief financial officer to an executive lacking in lovable qualities, only that Harvey Schwartz is going to have a hard enough time living up to the standard set by the firm's current CFO David Viniar, to say noting of all the nice things people are saying and writing about him.
The outpouring began last month, when Goldman announced that Mr. Schwartz would succeed Mr. Viniar at the beginning of next year. Former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt told The Journal that the Federal Reserve would love Mr. Schwartz's "no-nonsense demeanor and sense of humor." The Times called him "affable and brawny." Read More

Among the indicted people were two senior police officers who allegedly were negligent in providing adequate security [Al Jazeera report] to Bhutto. The other five men were charged with criminal conspiracy. At that time, Musharraf was not charged despite allegation that he did play a part of the assassination. However, his property was seized [JURIST report] by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) [official website] after an order rendered by Pakistani Judge Shahid Raffique due to Musharraf's failure to respond to multiple subpoenas. Those documents were issued because the FIA accused [JURIST report] Musharraf in the assassination of Bhutto. In 2010, an independent UN commission blamed [JURIST report] Pakistani government and police forces for the assassination because they "lacked a comprehensive security plan."

http://ps3.mmgn.com/News/borderlands...on-next-gen-gaBorderlands 2 developer, Gearbox Software, has teased that it's "got a few things going" on the next generation development front.
The developer is also working on Aliens Colonial Marines, which is both a current-gen and Wii U game. However, studio boss, Randy Pitchford, has hinted at a number of other unannounced titles.
Im always excited by movement forward, Pitchford said. Some of that comes from iteration with our software, and some of it comes from iteration with hardware, and some of it comes from invention each new step kind of gives us new tools and new capabilities that always makes the entertainment better, if we use it right."
Mr Pitchford said that having more hardware power "is always better".
"Theres always things we can do that we cannot do today that we can do with more power. So, thats always true.
Surprisingly, Mr Pitchford didn't seem all that interested in motion controls heading into the next generation of hardware.
Who knows what that is? I dont really care.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Moo-Tiff Development Environment
Moo-Tiff is a new distribution of OSF/Motif 2.0 for Linux, distributed by InfoMagic Inc. in the U.S. and by Lasermoon Ltd. in Europe. (For a more in-depth explanation of Motif, see my review of SWiM and MetroLink Motif in the July 1995 issue of the Linux Journal.) Priced at US$99, Moo-Tiff is so far the cheapest solution for Linux users who want to have a Motif development environment on their PCs.
Moo-Tiff comes on a single CD with installation instructions on the CD sleeve and also on the CD itself. Similar to the MetroLink and SWiM distributions, Moo-Tiff comes with the Mwm window manager, shared and static libraries, header files, the Uil compiler, Mrm, man pages, and source to the OSF/Motif demos.
What it doesn't include is the OSF Motif 2.0 User's Guide booklet that accompanies both the SWiM and MetroLink distributions. This is not surprising, since Moo-Tiff is at least $50 cheaper than the other distributions. The Motif 2.0 User's Guide is, however, supplied in Postscript format on the CD, as is other OSF documentation, including the Motif Programming Guide. Moo-Tiff is geared toward an X11R6 system, but also includes X11R5 libraries for users still running X11R5. Also included on the CD is the complete XFree 3.1.1 distribution, ELF libraries, and an archive of freeware Motif programs. There is also an option to run Moo-Tiff directly from the CD, by mounting the "live" directories from the CD on your system.
Installation involves simply running an installation script, which takes care of everything for you. While poking around in the installation directory, I noticed a striking similarity between Moo-Tiff and SWiM. It seems that the Moo-Tiff libraries are identical to SWiM's. In fact, many of the installation packages were identical to the ones on the SWiM CD. Since Lasermoon is involved with distributing both SWiM and Moo-Tiff, this is not really surprising. There are differences, however, and these lie mainly in the location of the installed components and Moo-Tiff's cleaner installation. Moo-Tiff's installation went by very smoothly, without any errors or quirks. [Lasermoon says that the libraries are on different development paths and may diverge, and there is no guarantee that applications linked with SWiM shared libraries will work with Moo-Tiff, and vice-versa.[Ed]
After installing Moo-Tiff, I fired up Mwm and went straight to the installed demos directory to compile some of the demos and test the product. Using the supplied mxmkmf program, all I had to do was type mxmkmf to turn Imake files into Makefiles, then make to compile. Sure enough, the demos compiled and ran correctly. I also recompiled most of the Motif programs I already had, such as Mosaic, just to make sure things worked okay. They did.
Moo-Tiff seems to be a great product, especially considering its $99 price tag. I have had no problems with it at all, except for one little thing. One of the installed programs, xmbind, is linked with the X11R5 libraries instead of the X11R6 ones, and I couldn't find one linked with the R6 libraries anywhere on the CD. This is not that big a deal, except that I must have R5 shared libs on my system if I want to use xmbind.

Bogdan Urma is studying physics and computer science at Cornell University and hopes to get his BS by next year. He has been using Linux since 1993 and spending way too much time with it. He welcomes your comments by e-mail sent to email@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Beijing Games 2008 -- Game For The Games
As part of our one-year countdown to the games, which NBC will televise, CNBC sent Darren Rovell and Melissa Lee to China in mid summer for a series of special reports
The Asian giant is already the subject of intense focus: A growth rate of 11% and a still-developing economy -- and controversy over the yuan, software piracy and the safety of Chinese exports. Then there's the more than 1 billion potential customers, a consumer base sought by domestic and foreign firms alike.
Beijing Building Boom
CNBC's Melissa Lee reports on the building boom from a myriad of construction sites in China's capital.
"But it's not just the city of Beijing gearing up for the Olympics: Businesses are busy building too, hoping they'll see the payoff when the torch is lit -- and long after it's extinguished," reports Lee.
Firms staking claims include Marriott International, which began laying foundations for new J.W. Marriott and posh Ritz-Carlton hotels in 2002, a year after the IOC awarded the games to China. By the Games' commencement, Marriott alone will have added 2,800 new rooms to the market.
McDonald's is beefing up its 811 Chinese restaurants, adding four more eateries in Beijing alone -- two in the Olympic Village, reserved for athletes and media for the Games' duration. The world's biggest restaurant chain is already recruiting 1,200 new employees for its Chinese units.
On the construction end, heavy-equipment manufacturer Caterpillar plans to triple its China sales by 2010. Company spokesman Jim Dugan cited "tremendous" mining and highway work "everywhere" in the country.
The Games and The Markets
The Chinese stock market has been booming for the past few years and setting new record highs, even as U.S. stocks wilted recently.
CNBC's Melissa Lee talked to investors mastering the volatility of China's exchanges.
George Yuan runs his own import and export business – and has pumped 75% of his savings into stocks. "Everyone says if you don't invest in stocks, you're stupid," he told Lee. "And everyone is looking at Olympics 2008" as a magnet for more capital, domestically and from abroad, he said.
Despite the superheated growth, Yuan advises investors to avoid euphoria: "You just have to be careful. Listen to your own thoughts, not those of others."
"Little Emperors," Royal Tastes
Cartier, Gucci, SaksFifth Avenue: Melissa Lee reports that 25% of the world's luxury goods will end up in Shanghai shops, including these, over the next 10 years. The buyers are China's so-called "little emperors," a burgeoning nouveau-riche demographic endowed with "a taste for luxury -- and the money to spend."
Lee interviews 23-year-old Liu Ming, who was born under China's single-child policy -- and has been given a Beijing garments factory as a gift from his parents, to launch his own apparel line.
Counterpoint: Lee also speaks to Hedy Lee, Chinese author and social critic, who casts a jaundiced eye on the new breed of "spoiled brats" who "don't know how to make money -- only how to spend it."
Champion's Gold: Endorsements
CNBC's Darren Rovell reports that U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who earned six gold medals in the Athens games, is the highest-earning American Olympian with $5 million per year in endorsement deals.
The Beijing games should boost Phelps' marketability even further: Peter Carlisle of sports management firm Octagon says China's growth will "have a huge impact on Michael's marketing, given the amount of interest Chinese companies have to market their products and services globally."
As Phelps puts it: "If I swim fast in a Speedo, people want to swim fast in a Speedo...and if I spend money with a Visa [card], people want to spend money with a Visa [card]," said the super-athlete -- who endorsed Visa in a gala Chinese news conference.
This week, McDonald's named Phelps the global ambassador to its Champion Kids Program, which is sending up to 300 children to the 2008 Games.
