Exactly what have you been doing because I've been trying to find out if Sputnik is possibly endangering the town. I rather us vote for someone not her, but all this Sputnik stuff happened while I wasn't on
@Master Mew;
My initial reason
He says this even though he "called me out" after Abra explained his posts were jokes which I pointed out and here is his response:
The way he words it just doesn't sit right with me. It's too casual and he doesn't seem worried at all, yet.
Here he's getting nervous because at this point he has three votes on him. Not a misunderstanding at all and I'm pretty sure he knows it.Also at this point votes were on mainly on DB I believe for reasoning that wasn't very good in my opinion considering how she usually acts. You yourself unvoted DB only a few posts after this.Quote:
Originally Posted by Gliscorman

Oh, I tend to keep tabs open while I work and browse them sporadically. In this case, I have no idea what's going on with Sputnik, which seems to be the focus of a fairly pointless discussion. You'll forgive me for being cagey, as this is my first time with this new community, and the last time I spoke up I was almost lynched for breaking a pointing etiquette I didn't even know about. In theory, Midorikawa's logic has some merit, as Gliscorman did come to my defense, as did you, and were I mafia it would make sense for one or more of my fellows to try and save me from a day 1 lynch.
Of course, I know that I'm not mafia, which means I have no reason to suspect you or Gliscorman, but I obviously can't prove that, and coming to his defence seems to indicate that we are working together. If we do lynch him, we're either killing a townie, which is a waste, or there's the chance that he's mafia even though I'm not, but if that's the case then I likely get lynched next, so I don't want him lynched and I don't want to defend him, and I have nothing useful to say about Sputnik which has been todays main topic of conversation. I also like to write long, well-reasoned posts, which can lead to people saying I'm defensive and suspicious, so I have been deliberately saying nothing. Of course, now you think that too is suspicious, so I can't win.
I don't currently have any cunning insight, and since it would seem that there's going to be some information revealed tonight, I'm going to wait and see what happens. Midorikawa could be mafia, jumping on Gliscorman and myself like that, but she could be following sound if unfounded logic. Since I have to be mafia for her accusations against Gliscorman to make sense, I don't feel it's my place to be throwing around counter-accusations. I would of course vote to kill her if the alternative was myself or Gliscorman (since if he dies, we lose a townie for sure: either he's one, or he's mafia, and I get lynched next).
Why does he make a point of saying he supposes he shouldn't vote for him. Mafia jump on bandwagon s of their own members to clear themselves often and it could be a possible reference to that. May not be of course but still strikes me as an odd thing to say.Quote:

Also if I die tonight or during the lynch redirect please follow my logic on Gliscorman and lynch him.
What I'm saying, Mido, is that your entire argument against GM is that he came to my defense, which means that if it's correct we're both mafia. If he is proved to be mafia, then I get lynched next. Now, I have no evidence one way or the other as to his allignment, but I do know that if he dies and he's a townie, we wasted a lynch, and if he dies and he's a mafia that's good, but, I die next day and we waste a lynch. So from my point of view, killing GM is going to result in either a wasted lynch, or a wasted lynch and me dying. (I don't expect you to be convinced since you can't know I'm not mafia, but that's my reasoning given what I know)
Sure lynching a mafia is good, but I have no reason to suspect him any more (or less), than anyone else. So why would I want to lynch someone that I know will lead to a wasted lynch?
"Oh Will, what will I ever do without you?"
It is now Night 2
Please send in all night actions.
...And she said that it wasn't redirected towards Midori. Are you kidding me?
@Sputnik; Source. NOW!

Here a nameless Tribune reporter spins a ghost story worthy of any campfire. The scene is set near an abandoned graveyard in northeast Minneapolis, most likely Maple Hill Cemetery, the city's first, established in 1857. Over the next 30 years, about 5,000 bodies were buried there.
The cemetery fell into disrepair in the 1880s. Plots were cheap—just $8 or $9 according to an 1889 Tribune story—and recordkeeping was shoddy at best. Some remains were buried no more than two feet deep. Neighbors feared that the poorly maintained burial ground was a health threat and began a campaign to have the remains moved and the cemetery closed. By the time the story below was published in 1899, the removals had already begun and burials ceased. But with no source of funding, most of the remains and markers remained there untended for years. The grounds were "loaded with rubbish and so neglected that many of the caskets are exposed to view," the Tribune reported.
In April 1907, the Tribune reported that Maple Hill Cemetery was in "deplorable condition." Rain had washed away sand at the western edge of the cemetery, exposing caskets to view. And children playing baseball had broken grave markers to pieces for use as bases.
The city's Park Board took possession of the land in 1908 with the idea of restoring a portion of the cemetery and reserving 10 acres for a children's park. A playground was established there in the summer of 1916, but the adjoining cemetery was still largely a mess. By that fall, the neighbors had had enough of the eyesore: under cover of darkness, about thirty men hitched up three teams of horses and cleared the land of debris and headstones, dumping the markers in a ravine on the west side of the property. Eight men were implicated in the "Maple Hill Raid," but only two faced vandalism charges and they won acquittal at trial.
Soon after the raid, the Park Board removed most of the remaining markers, and Maple Hill became firmly established as a park. A skating rink, a warming house, horseshoe pits and other amenities were added. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts gathered there for activities. The park's hockey teams enjoyed success in citywide competition. In 1948, it was renamed Beltrami Park, after the Italian-American explorer of the 19th century. But signs of the park's past are still visible to this day. At least two small gravestones can be found amid the grass and trees on the park's northwest side, not far from a monument to 46 Civil War veterans who were buried there.
Weird Adventure of a Young Woman While Walking Near a Cemetery in Northeast Minneapolis.
"Help! Help! The ghost will get me!" shrieked Ida Olson, last evening, as she rushed up to a pedestrian who was walking in Central avenue, near the abandoned cemetery in Northeast Minneapolis.
The girl, who is a domestic, was frightened so badly that it was impossible for her to talk in a coherent manner, and for time it was feared she had been driven insane by fright. She declared that while walking past the old cemetery with Ole Johnson, her sweetheart, a white object had arisen from one of the neglected graves, and, with an unearthly yell, had pursued them.
Reminders of Beltrami Park's past as a cemetery remain to this day. |
Ole, she said, had deserted her at the first sign of danger, and had left her to her fate. She was sure the object she had seen was a ghost, and she declared with equal firmness that it was the ghost of a man with horns, for she had seen the horns on his head, and had noted further that he wore a long white beard. Several times while telling her story she became hysterical, and it was with difficulty that she could be induced to continue.
John Adams, employed in the Columbia Heights mills, was the man whom she accosted on the street, and he at once took the girl into a drug store, where her story was related. At first it was thought Ida had been drinking, but there was not the slightest smell of liquor on her breath, and she was evidently badly frightened. While she was talking her sweetheart entered the place, and cried with joy at seeing the girl safe and sound.
Johnson, who is a laboring man, and a fairly intelligent appearing young fellow, told a story quite similar to that related by the girl, except that he said he had, instead of running away from the ghost, run towards it, in an endeavor to find out what it was.
Searching Party Formed.
Several persons were in the drug store at the time, and they at once formed a party and paid a visit to the old cemetery. As the abiding place of the dead was approached the courage of John disappeared, and he lagged behind. The girl, on the contrary, was fairly brave, now that there were other persons near by, and she led the party to the place where she said the ghost had appeared.
The spot from which the figure had arisen proved to be a slight depression on a mound, and the crushed down leaves and dead grass showed that a body of some sort had lain there. The adventure was becoming serious, and two or three members of the party did not venture as far away from their companions as they had done before the depression was found.
An extended search of the locality was made, but not trace of a ghost or anything looking like one could be found. Just as the party was about to give up and return to Central avenue a gasp of horror burst from the lips of Johnson, and he sank to the ground in a heap. A short distance away, only just visible in the dim light, was a white figure, with horns and a long white beard, just as Miss Olson had said.
Strange Sounds Heard.
As the little party looked a sound that cannot be described came from the object, followed by a silence that was painful in its intensity. For a moment no one moved or spoke; then one of the more adventuresome members of the party started in the direction of the ghost, carrying a revolver in his hand.
"Speak or I'll shoot," he called, as he scared the object.
There was no response, and again he repeated his command. This time the object moved a trifle and seemed to advance toward the party. As the man with the gun was about to fire there broke upon the silent night a plaintive:
Then a large white goat, with a beautiful pair of horns and a magnificent bunch of gray whiskers, walked up to the men and began nosing around as if expecting to be fed. The reaction was too much for the party, and the various persons laughed until they cried. Meantime Johnson had disappeared, and Miss Olson was sent to her home in University avenue northeast.
The goat, it was learned later, has been pastured in the old cemetery and the surrounding locality during the last summer, and he has been in the habit of sleeping around in any old place, and of going up to passers-by and asking in his dumb way for something to eat. Who the owner of the goat is could not be learned.
Be sure to catch Kim Ode's marvelous piece on the canoe craze of the early 1900s in Minneapolis. "At one time," she writes, "the number of couples cuddling in canoes grabbed headlines, spawned park police patrols and saw metaphorical lines drawn in the sand about naughty boat names such as Kismekwik, Skwizmtyt (sound it out) or Kumonin Kid."A Tribune story from 1912 lists more of the names declared by the Minneapolis Park Board to be unacceptable:

Twelve-mile-long Bassett Creek once meandered unfettered through marshlands from Medicine Lake in Plymouth to the Mississippi River near Nicollet Island. In the late 1800s, developers began filling in the wetlands near the river, but the homes were prone to flooding, and, thanks to widespread dumping of garbage upstream, the creek became little more than an open sewer. After the spring floods of 1913, described in the Minneapolis Tribune story below, the Legislature approved funding to divert the creek into a storm sewer. By 1923, the final mile and a half of the creek was underground.
This image, taken from microfilm, accompanied the Tribune flood story. The caption provided no address or names, only this: "Preparing to move." |
A link between brain damage and anti-social behavior has been well-documented. It's unclear how well-documented the link was in 1920, when a court sent a robbery suspect to a St. Paul hospital for a bit of cranial surgery to cure his "criminal tendencies." Did it work? That's also unclear. There's no mention of the scofflaw in subsequent issues of the Minneapolis Tribune, and no record of a Nobel prize for the surgeon.

Frank Halsted, a New Jersey native, settled on Lake Minnetonka in 1855. He served in the Navy during the Civil War, commanding a Union gunboat on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers in 1863-65. After the war, he returned to Lake Minnetonka and built a cabin that came to be known as the Hermitage. Some years later he went into debt to build a steamboat, but the stress of owing money apparently was too much for this "man of erratic habits," as the Tribune described him upon his death. In July 1876, a few days after he was last seen at his cabin, a fishing party found his body floating in the lake, a stone-filled sack tied around his neck. The coroner ruled it a suicide. Abiding by his will, the citizens of Excelsior buried him on his property, not far from the cabin.Which brings us to his brother, George Halsted, who is profiled in the Minneapolis Tribune story below. The elder Halsted traveled from New Jersey to Minnesota to take care of his brother's affairs. George Halsted apparently found Minnetonka much to his liking. He moved into his brother's cabin and assumed his brother's title, the Hermit. But George wasn't a recluse. He welcomed paying guests who came by steamboat to tour the curio-filled cabin and chat with its well-read and well-spoken occupant. By the 1890s, thousands were visiting the Hermitage every summer.You will notice an extra "a" -- Halstead -- in one of the subheads atop this 1897 profile. It's a common misspelling, or perhaps even the correct spelling. In story after story published after the brothers arrived in Minnesota, the Tribune alternated between the two spellings. Google searches produce similar results today. But Halsted seems to be the dominant spelling, despite the extra vowel in the Lake Minnetonka bay named for the two men.George Halsted died four years after this story was published. A fire consumed the Hermitage, with him inside, in 1901.

The Hermitage drew big crowds during the summer. Here, Minneapolis members of the Ohio Association lounged on the grass outside the cabin in 1898, listening to a speech. (Courtesy of Hennepin County Library's Minneapolis Photo Collection) |

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hi I just wanted to know is there anyway I could select runs done on the same course and bring them up on one graph for comparison. Just thought it would be a great tool to gauge improvement if we could compare pace v heart rate over the same course on one graph.

VIDEO: LOVE IN THE CIRCUS Debuts Music Video for 'Inside'
The worlds of music and cutting-edge technology collide as the Los Angeles-based indie-rock group Love In The Circus unveil their debut video for the song "Inside." Check it out below!
The quintet, whose music is an eclectic fusion of psychedelic, jazz-inflected pop and electronic, have partnered with Sony Electronics Inc. to use the world's first 35MM full-frame interchangeable lens camcorder, the NEX-VG900 Handycam camcorder. The camera was launched last fall and was on feature display for the first time at CES in Las Vegas last week.
To design the physical stage, the group worked with Stefano Novelli, whose innovative stage creation and map projection for Amon Tobin and Skrillex have drawn rave reviews across the globe. Stefano notes "This is the first time this technology has been used in a live band element. It's been too long of just LED screens behind DJ's on a podium. Now they are pushing the envelope and it will be interesting to see more bands experiment with this in a festival setting."
Once the physical was ready, it was time to integrate the 3D projection on which the music video is based. The director of the 3D mapped projection and co-producer of the music video AJ Freysteinson of Pearl Media explains, "3D Projection mapping is the process of taking pixels and wrapping them around three-dimensional objects. We do this by creating a digital copy of the set in a computer, rendering the animation, flatting it out digitally and then re-wrapping it around three dimensional objects. This process creates a stunning, visually- compelling tableaux for the viewer."

Kirikou and the Men and the Women by Michel Ocelot (France, 2012, 87 min.). This film weaves together a collection of fables that combine traditional storytelling and mythology, backed by an exotic musical score from Malian, Togolese, and French artists. Kirikou is called upon to save his village from supernatural and human perils, which he does with a combination of speed, cunning, and humor—as well as a certain naiveté about the way the world really works. It is this innocence that makes Kirikou such an endearing and enduring character. In French with English subtitles.

Community college degree

When I went to tech school they had deals with the UW(University Wisconsin) system to transfer 'most-ish' of the credits, though quite a bit less for things that weren't general ED(like IT credits).
though if you properly navigated around and got the right tech-degree+classes/electives at the tech school, it was pretty viable to treat your tech degree as an associates and go for a bachelors at a university.

The industry norm is a 4-year college degree in Computer Science or similar.
This is what is normally asked for when going through the traditional route. It is common to see it on job listings, and it is a common HR filter.
There are many exceptions, but the exceptions do not follow the normal career path.

So if I went to a community college I should go for a bachelor's and not an associate's is that right?

Great sound made simple Bose first set out to make a small, high-quality music system in the early 1970s, but found it impossible with the technology of the time. Big speakers and stacks of components could not easily be combined into a manageable solution.
But our engineers had an idea, and music was the inspiration. A flute, which is able to transform a small breath of air into room-filling sound, is a simple device known as an acoustic waveguide. That means it confines the movement of a sound wave over a desired path.
Applying this concept to a music system was complicated because a single waveguide can only produce a single frequency. (Musicians can change the length of the flute's waveguide to create a variety of notes by positioning their fingers over the holes.)
The challenge was to gain the efficiencies of the waveguide while retaining the ability to produce a range of frequencies.
Every note must be right Bose engineers realized they could emulate the effect of air vibrating within a flute by mounting a speaker within a tube. This moved air more efficiently within the waveguide, resulting in more sound. By matching the electro-mechanical properties of the loudspeaker to the waveguide, they were able to efficiently produce a wide range of notes.
Additional analysis and measurements showed that the tube could be folded into intricate patterns with no ill effect on sound quality. This meant a waveguide measuring several feet in length could be woven into a small tabletop enclosure, delivering sound with more clarity, depth and lifelike quality than a conventional component stereo system.
Explore for yourself further details of this technology »
How can a single breath of air fill a room with sound? Quite efficiently, with an acoustic waveguide such as the flute.

Do I have a voltage Regulator Problem?Folks, I noticed the 3 caps on my battery (on the Farmall A) were bubbling while the tractor was running. The ampmeter should that it was really charging. I checked the fluid levels and I was really surprised to see how low they were. I added Distilled H2O and ran the tractor again. The meter was charging at the same rate and soon the caps were bubbling again. I ran it for a few minutes longer and when I shut it off, the caps bubbled for another minute. Is my voltage regulator bad? AND, did I just create a new problem by adding water rather than acid? I live in NW Wisconsin.
do NOT add acid unless it has been spilled. If a battery is lwo form use, only water is needed. bubbling when charging heavy is normal. teo tell if ovltage reuglator is bad you need a a voltmeter to check chargin voltage. Are you sure it has a regualtor rather than a cutout? If light switch has L, H, D, B settings, set it to the L position (low charge rate).
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

Well, I'd swear I posted a response to this last night but I can't find it anywhere.
Anyway, as John said, add only water unless there is a spill. Only the water evaporates and needs replenishing. However, since you noticed the bubbling while running and the electrolyte level was low, it is very possible that your battery is over-charging. If you have a 3 brush generator, you can slow the charge rate by moving the third brush. Otherwise, your suspicions may be correct on the regulator. If you have a voltmeter, check to see what the voltage at the battery terminals is when the system is charging. Bigdog
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem. My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that! http://www.cubtug.com

Barack Obama golfs with Tiger Woods during President's Day weekend
With Monday being President's Day, most government departments will be closed. That includes the Oval Office, as President Barack Obama is at an exclusive golf club in Florida called, fittingly, The Floridian. It makes sense, as Obama is a fan of the game, playing when the opportunity arises.
This trip's a bit special, though. The president played with iconic golfer Tiger Woods, for the very first time Saturday, according to Golf Digest. The pair were joined by others, including golf instructor Butch Harmon, who says, "The President said to Tiger, 'The last tournament you played was fun to watch. It's good to see you play well again.' You could tell he meant it."
Obama stayed on the green for 27 holes, though Woods left after the first 18. It's nice of Tiger to make room in his schedule for the president, as surely he was busy caring for his probably-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn.

Can the Giants ride this wave all the way to another World Series title?

Mike Leake answers the call. Hopefully while he was working out or something.
Preparing for postseason pandemonium in Porkopolis. Reds look to sweep Giants in the Queen City

Josh Hamilton's Texas career most likely ends on a very sour note, as the last game of the Rangers' season ended from the same afflictions that cut their pennant races short: poor management, bad luck, and Michael Young.

Would you rather see the Yankees have to play the Baltimore Orioles or the Texas Rangers in the American League Division Series?

BOTOX Injections (cont.) Medical Author:

William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACRDr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship.

Next StepsResults will be evident within three to 10 days. Photographs may be taken before the procedure so that patients can check their results themselves rather than relying on their memory. It is surprising to see how many people do not recall how they looked before the procedure and are amazed at the difference when shown a picture. Prior to having the procedure done, the patient should be prepared to realize that Botox does not actually erase lines but relaxes them. What this means is that deeper lines will become somewhat less deep and superficial lines will nearly disappear. This can be likened to the act of steaming a garment's wrinkles rather than ironing them. It may be necessary for the patient to have additional procedures, such as the use of filler substances (for example, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Sculptra, or Radiesse) in order to plump up the wrinkles that are now relaxed. Additionally, it may be necessary to have two or three sessions of Botox treatment for deeper wrinkles before results become optimal. The area of the crease between the eyes is a particularly ideal area for Botox use in conjunction with filler as these fixed wrinkles don't always respond optimally to Botox alone. There is some controversy about using filler in that area as it may block veins or arteries and result in loss of blood and a scar to the area. While this author has heard of many of these situations, he has never seen one personally. Generally, the smaller particle fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm Ultra, are best in the area between the eyes for this reason. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to BOTOX Injections

Prepared by Stuart E. Mirvis, MD, Professor of Radiology, University of Maryland Medical School, Baltimore, MD.
A 6-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with vomiting and severe left upper and mid-abdominal pain. A mass was palpated on physical examination. The patient had a several month history of intermittent abdominal pain. An abdomino-pelvic CT scan was obtained after administration of oral and intravenous contrast material. Four CT images (figures1-4) from that study are provided. What is the most likely diagnosis?
ANSWER: "Wandering spleen" with pedicle torsion and infarction
Wandering spleen is an uncommon condition that usually presents clinically in children of 3 months to 10 years of age (most typically in children who are less than 1 year old). The condition is a result of congenital abnormal development of the dorsal mesogastrium. Normally, the spleen and its ligamentous attachments, the lienorenal and gastrolienal ligaments, are derived from the dorsal mesogastrium. The posterior leaf of the dorsal mesogastrium fuses with the parietal peritoneum anterior to the left kidney to form the lienorenal ligament, the most important stabilizer of splenic position. Failure or incomplete fusion of these structures allows for abnormal mobility of the spleen related to a long splenic vascular pedicle that permits excessive intraperitoneal movement of the spleen. It is the long vascular pedicle which permits torsion of the spleen to occur, leading to ischemia. In addition, a portion of the pancreatic tail is derived from the dorsal mesogastrium and may also be involved in torsion.
Clinically, a patient may present with acute, chronic, or intermittent abdominal symptoms. Intermittent pain may result from torsion and spontaneous detorsion of the spleen, while an acute abdomen would result from prolonged vascular pedicle torsion and infarction. Associated symptoms, particularly with an acute presentation, include fever, leukocytosis, peritoneal signs, and a palpable pelvic or abdominal mass.
Radiologic investigation can include abdominal radiography that may show an abdominal mass with absence of the splenic shadow from the left upper quadrant. Serial abdominal radiographs may show variation in the position of the spleen over time. A barium contrast study would be expected to show only non-specific mass effect related to the abdominal mass. Nuclear scintigraphy would demonstrate either no splenic tracer uptake or an ectopic splenic position. Both CT and sonography would be expected to show an abdominal mass or ectopic position of the spleen, and no spleen in the left upper quadrant. Sonography demonstrates a large spleen with an inhomogenous echo texture. A CT scan with use of intravenous contrast can demonstrate lack of, or only limited enhancement of the spleen due to vascular torsion. The infarcted spleen has a CT attenuation below that of the normal spleen. Ascites also may be demonstrated by cross-sectional imaging methods. Additionally, the pancreatic tail may be torsed and infarcted. Chronic or intermittent splenic torsion may produce a chronic inflammatory enhancing splenic pseudocapsule related to development of omental and peritoneal adhesions. Finally, a "whorl" of fat and possibly pancreatic tissue may be present along the medial aspect of the spleen due to rotation of the vascular pedicle. Duplex Doppler and color flow sonography can assess the vascular flow to the spleen in cases of suspected infarction.
In the cases demonstrated here, figure 1 shows the absence of a spleen in the expected location, with the stomach, bowel, and left lobe of liver in the left upper quadrant. Figure 2 demonstrates the "whorl" sign of perivascular fat surrounding an enhancing splenic artery. The spleen is not visualized anterior to the kidney. Figures 3 and 4 show a large heterogeneous mass with patchy parenchymal enhancement in the left lateral mid abdomen producing mass effect on adjacent bowel compatible with an infarcted spleen. The pancreatic tail and surrounding fat are normal.
Other diagnostic considerations should include abdominal abscess, mesenteric or omental cyst, or mesenteric neoplasm. The lack of a spleen in the expected location strongly suggests the appropriate diagnosis. Splenectomy is required to manage the infarcted spleen, while splenoplexy can be used to treat chronic or intermittent symptoms related to splenic migration or torsion.

Sonar Goes to the Next Level
Online-only Articles -
Online-only 2010
A newly developed mapping sonar demonstrated in Australia gives hydrographers a new tool for meeting increased survey demands.
By Emmanuel Sgherri and Nick Goodwin
The future workloads of hydrographic departments and the survey industry are increasing exponentially with new missions and standards. Adding to the equation are mapping of exclusive economic zones and the continental shelf, maritime boundaries delimitation, habitat mapping, sub-sea surveillance, and detection of illegal loads on the seabed. The dominant question: how to manage this increased survey demand within existing budget constraints.
As children of the world now learn geography in a dynamic mode through a Google-type of visualization with direct access to the dataset, the ocean seabed will soon be visualized in the same way. Google Oceans is in its early days, but no doubt tomorrow millions of users, private and public, including scientists, professionals, environmentalists, fishermen, and students will visit the oceans from their laptops.
This change has already started, and the market's new needs and demands can be summarized as:
higher resolution data,
ortho-rectified imagery, with high positioning accuracy required for proper integration into GIS,
easy access and dissemination, and
massive reduction of cost of information, with, "How many pixels do I get for my dollars or per unit of survey time?" becoming the key question.
With these market trends and user requirements in mind, IXSEA has launched a massive R&D program to build a new generation sonar: a mapping sonar. Although the data quality of most side scan sonars today is excellent, a number of key points need to be addressed:
Positioning accuracy: where is my fish?
Can I control/compensate the attitude and heading?
The blind zone at Nadir: this costs me millions in vessel time. Can it be eliminated?
Can my system generate a better quality dataset in real time for a lower cost?
Based on IXSEA's technologies in inertial navigation, acoustic positioning, SAS (synthetic aperture sonar) processing, and transducer manufacturing, along with a knowledge of PC-based real-time mapping solutions, a multi-disciplinary team has developed the concept of the world's first true mapping sonar, known as SHADOWS.
First Demonstration Comes Down Under
A SHADOWS demonstration was conducted in late April 2009 on board the Total Response, a 20-meter survey vessel. The vessel is based in Fremantle, Australia on the country's west coast, and the trial area was in Cockburn Sound, a few miles southwest of Fremantle Harbour between the mainland and Garden Island.
Mean water depth of the survey area is 20m. The area lies between the mainland and the Gaden Island naval base, and a number of subsea cables and pipelines cross the seabed. Additionally, the area serves as anchorage for coastal freighters and small tankers, and anchor scour and other features mark the sea bottom. The seabed is flat and mainly composed of sand with some small rocky features.
IXSEA had provided a hydraulic winch with a double-armored fiber-optic tow cable. The existing winch on board the vessel first had to be removed for the IXSEA winch to be installed. Meanwhile, the SHADOWS fish was craned aboard the vessel, and the servers and displays were installed inside the vessel operations' room and tested.
The mobilization was essentially complete by the end of the first day. The next morning, a systems check was conducted with the SHADOWS fish in the water. Then deployment and recovery drills were practiced in-harbor. The vessel was put to sea at midday for full operational testing.
To track the SHADOWS' tow fish and allow the onboard inertial navigation system (INS) inside the fish to stay fully aligned for creating accurate real-time geo-referenced images, an ultra short base line (USBL) acoustic tracking system was installed on the vessel. IXSEA supplied its global acoustic positioning system (GAPS) USBL, which also incorporates an inboard INS. This allowed rapid mobilization of the USBL system without the need to have a separate calibration done between the USBL and a separate attitude and heading reference unit.
The GAPS transceiver was mounted under the hull of the vessel on a convenient mounting bracket in place for multi-beam sonar installations. A diver installed the transceiver, and then the system was tested with a transponder deployed alongside the vessel.
SHADOWS was deployed off the survey vessel Total Response out of Fremantle, Australia.
A survey grid of 1.2 x 1.2 kilometers was defined for the demonstration. Five contiguous survey lines were planned to cover the area, allowing for a 100m overlap. This overlap was not necessary, as the system provides geo-referenced images, but for the purpose of the demonstration, the overlap was used to provide multiple images of bottom features for comparison purposes. With the 20m water depth, the range (per channel) was limited to 200m, providing a total swath width of 400m. Line spacing was set at 300m.
Lost Item Found
A ship's anchor and chain were known to have been lost at a location west of Fremantle Harbour en route to the survey area. The trials boat operator, Total AMS, was interested in salvaging the anchor and requested that IXSEA try to image the anchor to confirm its position and size. Water depth at this location was around 20m, and the sonar range was approx 200m (400m swath).
The tow fish was deployed, and it detected the anchor and chain in the first pass. A second pass was made to gather additional images. From the images and using the contact analysis tools, it was possible to show that approx 4m of anchor was visible above the seabed and by derivation show the anchor to be circa 10-12 tons. Additionally, the length of anchor chain was measured to be nearly 200m. The chain was expected to be of 7/8-inch gauge. Anchor marks can be followed through each side through the gap filter picture.
As its first task, SHADOWS located a lost anchor and chain.
Two prism-shaped (four triangular sides) sonar targets were deployed. One had equal side lengths measuring 1m, while the other's measured .5m. A prism-shaped target was selected because it provides realistic target insonification properties. Unlike a "radar reflector" shape, the prism is equally likely to reflect sound away from the receiver as it is towards it.
The targets were configured to be deployed together, joined by a 10m polypropylene rope. A small metal anchor was connected by polypropylene rope and chain to the smaller target to stop the targets dragging. The larger target was connected to the surface by polypropylene rope where it was marked with two small buoys to aid recovery. A USBL transponder was fixed midway up the line, making the positioning of the target easier and permitting the comparison with the position obtained in the sonar record.
Two prism-shaped targets were used for the test.
With perfect matching between two sonar lines, this example shows the capability of SHADOWS to produce geo-referenced pictures in real time with accurate positioning.
No processing is needed to produce the map (Geotiff mosaic) and adjust the position of profiles to each other. The map is built in real time with a 15-square-cm resolution and automatically generated from the sonar position (no need to enter parameters for the cable lay back and angle of deportation of the fish). The accurate matching between two lines is done automatically by the sonar. Understanding and interpreting what's on the seabed is facilitated (detection and localization of scattered objects and man-made objects).
Linear features such as pipelines and cables can be clearly visualized in the map over several sonar lines. Export of DXF/Autocad layers can be made directly onto the Geotiff sonar map for object change detection. Tiff higher resolution is required on some areas; post processing can be applied to the selected data to obtain up to 5-square-cm resolution.
The mapping sonar's performances open a new perspective not only in terms of return on investment but also vessel-time optimization, higher profit margins, and fuel-cost reduction. In a simulation done of the cost of a 10,000-square-km debris survey using a standard digital side scan sonar versus the same performed with mapping sonar, savings on the total costs resulted in the proportion of 1 to 4.
The new mapping sonar offers industry a cost-effective solution by combining high-resolution SAS sonar technology, high accuracy navigation, and real-time mapping to meet today's new survey challenges and increased survey demand within existing budget constraints.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Kanawha County officials are preparing to operate emergency shelters through Sunday for those without power.
As of Wednesday afternoon, about 28,000 Kanawha County customers still were without power.
Most were in St. Albans and the surrounding unincorporated areas, as well as South Hills and Kanawha City in Charleston, County Manager Jennifer Sayre said.
Many people living in and around Sissonville and Marmet also lacked service as of Wednesday afternoon.
Some areas may not have power restored until Sunday, Sayre said.
Remaining open are the shelters at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sissonville, the West Side Salvation Army at the corner of Tennessee Avenue and Roane Street and the Hansford Senior Center in St. Albans.
Officials opted to close the shelters at Cabin Creek and Pratt because no one stayed at the facilities Tuesday night, Sayre said.
The shelter at Riverside High School in the eastern end of the county closed once power was restored to that area, she said.
The shelter at the Kanawha City Community Center will be consolidated with the Salvation Army facility.
"The Salvation Army has a larger facility," she said.
About 35 to 40 people stayed at shelters Tuesday night, Sayre said. The number could climb as residents continue to go without electricity.
"People may not come into a shelter if they're without power for only one day," she said. "But the chances of them coming into a shelter increase the more days they go without power."
The shelters will remain open during the day as warming stations, Sayre said.
All three shelters are well supplied and can handle increased numbers of people throughout the rest of the week. Anyone wanting to donate cash to the Red Cross for supplies can do so by calling 304-340-3650, Sayre said.
The major problem in Kanawha County is downed power lines, said Jeri Matheney, a spokeswoman for American Electric Power. This can be frustrating for residents because the problems may not be visible as a broken pole or blown transformer, she said.
Three substations provide power to South Hills. All three shut down during Tuesday's storm after wet, heavy snow pulled transmission lines to the ground, Matheney said.

In my recent article on Cooperative Capitalism I promised more information from CEO Space faculty co-lead Hugh Ballou, who directs that effort together with multi-award winning author and expert on integrity in business Dr. David Gruder. The two coach, train and provide keynote addresses and learning experiences for corporations, both individually and jointly.
Of particular interest to me was seeing the way Ballou's years of background as a music conductor have contributed to the skills he presents to leaders of organizations of all sizes including the world's largest musical efforts, church organizations and even Fortune 1000 CEOs.
Says Ballou: "In 40 years of music ministry I conducted my work with my back to the audience." Now, in his leadership training, he is addressing the challenges corporate leaders face head on.
Ballou defines a leader as one of three things:
Sometimes the influence is autocratic and negative. In other cases it's based on inspiration, through trusted relationships (which is the path he selects and promotes).
Orchestrating Success
Have you ever watched a musical conductor at work? It's leadership in motion. There is never an instant of indecision or a moment of doubt. The musical conductor is always in control. This may sound and seem like a dictatorship, but it is not, Ballou says. Nor is it a democracy, as a single person directs the will of others and the artistic vision that will shape the result.
On a corporate team, the leader articulates a vision through carefully crafted goals and empowers and directs key players in their role to the outcome and success.
In either case, the leader inspires the maximum result by inspiring and empowering the team of participants. If the leader is open and straightforward, the team will engage and do their best to succeed. But if the leader is ill-prepared, guarded and uncommunicative…the result is subpar (or perhaps a disaster).
Each player is highly skilled, and each person contributes the best of their unique talent. Together, the team creates a result that far surpasses what any individual could produce on their own. If the leader tells an expert oboe player how to play oboe – by the next season that player will likely be gone. But if he or she can bring out the greatest creativity and enthusiasm in the player, magic ensues.
From a musical conductor we can observe the following, Ballou says:
Conductors and leaders inspire the highest possible performance from the groups that they lead. They are alert to circumstances and make adjustments and changes needed as the program progresses to ensure an optimal result. According to Ballou, corporate leaders can do much to sharpen their skills and understanding of ideal leadership by attending a symphony performance and observing the nuances and non-verbal signals that separate the merely good and acceptable from inspiring and unforgettable.
From Music Conductor to Meeting Conductor
One of the great problems Ballou notes that leaders seem to universally face is that they want to blame others for the problems they helped to create. Perhaps they are unclear about specifics or time frames and fail to provide mentoring. Sometimes as leaders we confuse mentoring with micromanaging, Ballou says. When leaders fall short, he suggests they turn around once again, to take a close look in the mirror.
As Ballou teaches leaders he often uses his orchestra experience as an analogy:
"In audiences and in facilitations it's been interesting to note that 65-75% of those who attend have had some musical experience, and the rest have generally observed a conductor," Ballou says. "So when I create the analogy, I hear 'Ah'."
Cheryl, Hugh's approach at first seems like merely a clever analogy, but ultimately it runs much deeper. Great insights!
I like all his material and his approach to leadership.
A fantastic article, as a leadership development expert, and principal bassoonist for the BroomfieldSymphony.org I can relate to this article on both counts. Too many past articles have missed the analogy of Conductor and Leader.
I particularly appreciated your comment on the importance of the team, listening, and collaborating together and the need for each individual to continually PRACTICE their contribution to the performance.
If just some of these behaviors were translated into the workplace I believe many teams and organizations would find themselves "unstuck" and able to move forward together to deliver their business results.
Cheryl, thank you for this article. I have had the pleasure of working with Hugh in the leadership arena – he is fabulous! The techniques he uses to bring out the talents of a team working together are brilliant. I love the set of leadership principles – such clarity. Keep the great articles coming.

[JURIST] US Attorney General Michael Mukasey [official website; JURIST news archive] said on Monday that Congress should pass legislation [C-SPAN video, Flash; transcript] guiding US civilian courts on how to conduct Guantanamo detainees' habeas corpus proceedings because the judiciary should not make such determinations. Mukasey reiterated the Bush administration's disappointment [JURIST report] with the Supreme Court's June decision [text, PDF; JURIST report] that federal courts have jurisdiction to review habeas petitions filed by Guantanamo detainees, but said that the government's job now is to form policy in line with the Court's decision that will guide how courts handle the cases:
Congress and the Executive Branch are affirmatively charged by our Constitution with protecting national security, are expert in such matters, and are in the best position to weigh the difficult policy choices that are posed by these issues. Judges play an important role in deciding whether a chosen policy is consistent with our laws and the Constitution, but it is our elected leaders who have the responsibility for making policy choices in the first instance. So today, I am urging Congress to act to resolve the difficult questions left open by the Supreme Court. I am urging Congress to pass legislation to ensure that the proceedings mandated by the Supreme Court are conducted in a responsible and prompt way and, as the Court itself urged, in a practical way.
