I use a dual monitor setup, 3840x1200, and on that width, I think the focal plane needs to be shifted up a little bit because the buildings look too slanted inward at the extreme edges. Too much FishEye effect, and believably falls off. Sand texture suggests rocks the size of the character's head, as Nathan suggested. It should be much finer. Currently on my phone and my Dual Monitor setup. Love it. I've been a life member since the Pleistocene. |

Looks wonderful, but I have to wonder how fast the wind would have to blow to give the ripple effect on baseball sized gravel. I'm thinking that city must be made of tungsten carbide to survive. Or diamond. |
Buddha |
Love it! Want to see more of these! |
Nathan |
I really like this as a wallpaper, and was tempted to get a print of it. However, it looks to me like the sand texture doesn't work right when the image is blown up. The individual grains of sand seem to be huge. I think you may have done this to accentuate the texture, and it does work well at lower resolutions. But for large prints it looks like it would annoy me after a while. |

I actually started on 3.1 and used Windows 95 between 96-99. I switched to Windows NT after that so I could use multiple processors. |
If you started your artwork in 1995 then you would have to have used Windows 95. By the way the picture is Awesome! |
CheliNasr |
I really like this one--and it's not even blue! ;o) I like this one better than the night version too, but I do agree that the buildings backdrop is not quite right. It's not that they are flat, but that you have nothing going on behind them to show that the world (or rather sky) is continuing out to... space. It does rather remind me of the perspective that we are on a model (think Beetlejuice!) and can't see the "real" world beyond it. |
SpeedyJ |
It's really Mind Blowing. It remind me of the movie Priest! |
Iain |
Love it. Reminds me of the old Dune books and the Dune 2000 PC game :D Great memories!! |
Ryan |
I see your point. I usually add the figure (or something similar) to provide scale. In this case, however, I intended the figure to represent Muad'dib pondering his final assault on Arrakeen and had hoped the book readers would make the connection. |
Scott |
The lone figure seems to be a common feature in a number of of your pictures. I think it gives or is intended to provide perspective on the buildings in the background, but given the "Dune" thought here it seems a bit of a stretch....just a thought??!! |

I like this render too, but I like the night version better. The buildings in the background look a little flat, as if they are unpainted models. The sand dunes and the coloring are fantastic. I would like a version without the buildings if possible. |
Jason |
I've been a big fan over the years of your pieces where you have a lone person completely immersed in an overwhelmingly imposing environment. This is definitely one of the better ones. Thank you for this one. |
Tyler K |
When I look at this piece, along with the original I immediately draw thoughts of the video game Journey. I think this is your best of 2013 so far! It captures the sense of scale just as well as any of your past works and causes the mind to explore other worlds. |
Kelton |
This is epic in scale, rich in content. love it. A lot goes unspoken about what the individual is going to do, or what they are thinking looking at the city atop the cliffs. Very cool stuff. |
Cougz |
Oh my Mylotar.. You're entitled to your opinion, but geez !! |
Mylotar |
Honestly, compared to the rest of your work years ago even, this is shoddy and you know it-I feel. The graphics quality pails in comparison to works done even 8 years ago, this honestly looks like a piece you made from the 90s and you know what I'm talkin bout. I love your stuff so much but this year and last year has been kinda lacking compared to the previous 10 years of amazing work. |
Ryan |
I've updated the multiscreen 16:9 images so they now include the figure. I will update the night version shortly. It was a bit complicated adapting this one since so much is going on in the top/bottom frame. |
Jenanne |
Currently number 10 of the all-time favorites. Wow, what a winner, Ryan! |
Josh |
I have a problem when i try to download the dualscreen wall (3840x1080 or the 5k something res... the human wont show up it stops right after the dunes is there a way to get the wall that is displayed as dualscreen...thanks inadvance |
drow |
sorry about the 11, but i gave the original version a 10, and like this version even more. the buildings are ethereal. |
anna_writr |
New favorite wallpaper! And that is saying a lot, I've been with you since 2001. Dune was my favorite SF book of all time; it literally changed my world when I was a teenager. The night version was nice, but this is glorious! |
Rob |
First Valinor and now this? Simply amazing. I love these science-fiction inspired images! If you consider doing Tolkien again, how about Fall of Gondolin, or Thangorodrim, as possible subjects? =) |
Dan |
I like this one better than the night version. I still love the original but this one for some reason just 'pops' more with the daylight and being able to see the city up above. |
Tim |
Have been subscribed to DB for years but this is my first comment. I absolutely love this wallpaper and prefer it to the night version. I feel it works as a tribute to Dune, the harsh yellow of the sand conveying the harsh life on Arrakis and the dark blue of the sky the colour of a Fremen's eyes. Without looking at the sci-fi link, it's simply a beautiful wallpaper. My favourite since Serenade. |
James |
A stunning image. Really great work. Do you think you may create any further literary inspired images? |
Robert_R |
Great as usual :) But where is Shai-Hulud? :) |
Atma |
When I look at this version, I feel like I'm on Arrakis more than with the darker version. I'm almost expecting to see a sandworm between two dunes. |
Nico |
I think it's a statue there are is nothing in the sand indicating that it has moved.... Thanks Ryan I love space stuff but you always bring out other things that make me say "Um this is really cool". :) |
Jonathan |
Now the figure has been walking all night and hasn't got anywhere in all that time? Maybe he is walking in circles. :) |
BobC |
Ooowee! I love this type of science fiction inspired art. I like the day version enough that I just HAD to comment! |
Andrew |
Love, love, love the colours. The sand is so vibrant while the wall and city have such an ethereal quality. Definitely prefer this to the night version. |
BobC |
Ooowee! I love this type of science fiction inspired art. I like the day version enough that I just HAD to comment! |
DaveR |
Great art as usual, day and night both remind me of reading the novels. One complaint - some the multiscreen versions (3840 x 1080 at least) crop out the human on the sand, I think that detracts a bit from the contrast, no reference to scale. Still beautiful though. |
Ryan |
Thanks! 1440p now available. |
Bob |
5120x1440? |
John |
This is much better than the dark image. While the dark was nice, I just couldn't see many details. I like the details on the rocks and city. |
Gary |
Much better than the night version. I'm a very big fan of the Dune trilogy. Keep up the great work!!! |
Theo |
Ryan, the light adds so much more to this piece. Besides teh ovbious that you can actually see the setting, it truly reveals the beauty and contrast of the dunes vs the high cliff civilization. Much Much better. |
Sanalith |
While the Night version certainly evokes the feel of Dune better, I love the bright colors of this version so much. Great work on both, but this is the one going on my desktop! |
Joel |
I like the day version :) it's much better than the night version |
Cougz |
Oh sensational as always. Just unreal ! Thanks again Ryan. You've made my day :-) |
Phil |
This one looks great! Love the detail, prefer this one much more than the night version. |
Magnus |
PLEASE PLEASE do a pickle jar version without the mountains and buildings in the back and I think its about time for a tropical or island background ! |
Beausuff |
It almost looks like a mirage...... |
Adamtrons |
Excellent work! I prefer this daylight version with the beautiful gold, silver and blue tones over the night version which was more rust tones on my screen. I like seeing the details in the rocks and buildings. The sky isn't that bad but I think it would look more real if it was a gradient. I don't know if I can post a link, but here is a photo for compare: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/145/desertcliffs.jpg/ |
Greg in CA |
You know, because it's a pictures a many grains of sand? I got a million of 'em! |
SaltNPeppr |
Amazing. I feel like I'm actually there. It makes me want to go re-read my copy of Dune... |
Awesome. I loved the night version and this one is just as great. |
Eel River |
I like the sharpness and all the fine detail. Very nice work, Ryan! (Only, there is no 1024 x 600.) |
Ryan |
Changing the color of the sky will change all of the other colors too since I am using global illumination. Everything will be harsh and blown out. Believe me, I tried a number of different sky color's and lighting settings before settling on what I posted and this was the best compromise I could come up with. I wanted the image to get darker as the eyes traveled up the screen and the viewer to have darker "haven" to rest their eyes from the bright sands. I suppose I could keep trying if the majority feel it is an inferior image, but the amount of positive feedback I've already received leads me to believe that just as many Members would be put off by any changes I might make. Perhaps it is just a matter of taste. IDK... |
Greg |
Could you do a version with the sky at least twice as bright? It feels really unrealistic - since the buildings are really bright and the sky very dark. Physically speaking, all the shadowed areas of the buildings that the sun doesn't hit are lit by the sky, so either they should be a heck of a lot darker or the sky brighter - it really ruins it for me, which is sad because I really like the colours in this version :) Also maybe the noise in the sand is a little too obvious, perhaps halve it and see how it feels to you then - at this distance it would be barely noticable. |
Steve |
Ryan, you've managed to outdo even yourself here. Spectacular! Of course, the fact that I'm a huge Frank Herbert fan might have something to do with it. But nonetheless... I hope that desert wanderer hasn't forgotten his/her 'thumper' :-) Yep, way better than the night version. |
Mike |
I liked the original night version, but this one is so striking, I had to comment. Wow! It's a lot easier to see all the detail in the buildings in this version. |
Jenanne |
Overall, I like it. But I agree the color of the sky looks strange; I'm not sure why, or if it needs to be lighter or darker. Perhaps darker, since the cliff and buildings are so light. Too, the windows, openings, and arches are the same color as the sky, and perhaps that's why the buildings seem washed out. OTOH, I like the texture of the sand in front. |
Ben |
Absolutely love it. It is an excellent contrast to the dark version. I can feel the heat burning through my screen. Excellent work!! |
Kana |
hmmm... I'm liking the day version. However, the transition from the bleached out/dusty rock face to a darker blue sky, not a bright sunny blue just looks odd to me. I would think that the sky would be lots brighter than that. Just looks odd. Just odd in comparison to your twilight view. And the sand is too coarse in the foreground. Sorry to be so picky on this one. Twilight version wins it for me, unless some changes are made to this one. |
Ernie |
I loved Frank Herbert's, Dune, and I think this really captures the imagery that was conveyed in the book. |
Ryan |
Thanks for the comments guys. I would only ask that if you rate the piece in your comments that you also submit a rating via the drop down underneath the image. That helps me build a Top Ten rated page. Thanks!! |
0beron |
I loved the cliff wall and city in the night version, but this one's even better - the yellow to blue transition and the sunlight picking out all the crags in the rockface is just awesome! |
Joe |
Much better than the night version (which I rated 4/10) The clarity does the scene much more justice. |
Thomas |
I like it better than the night version. Really good would be if the Dual and tripple version come... ;-) |
Ryan |
LOL Thanks for the heads up! |

Beautiful... but isn't it Arrakeen? |

The State Energy Office is North Carolina's lead agency for energy programs and serves as the official source for en-ergy information and assistance for consumers, businesses, government agencies, and policy-makers. The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973-74 was the impetus for the creation of the State Energy Division under the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs. Now operating under the N.C. De-partment of Administration, the State Energy Office is funded from Petroleum Violation Escrow funds and the U.S. Department of Energy. The State Energy Office, which uses no state-appropriated funds, administers programs in four primary areas: • Energy efficiency and renewable energy for residen-tial, commercial, industrial, agricultural, transporta-tion and utility sectors • Alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles • Energy policy recommendations to the N.C. Energy Policy Council, N.C. General Assembly, the Gover-nor's Office, and other state agencies • Energy emergencies during natural disasters and supply disruptions Mission The State Energy Office promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy, striving toward a sustainable energy fu-ture. It accomplishes this by administering innovative pro-grams, projects and services that inform, educate and involve energy consumers, producers and decision-makers. The State Energy Office organizes rapid responses to energy emergencies. It is recognized as North Carolina's primary, independent resource for energy information. Programs The State Energy Office provides services and benefits for small businesses, industry, local governments and indi-vidual citizens in seven major areas: agriculture, awareness and education, buildings, business and industry, renewable and alternative energy sources, sustainable communities and emergency response, and transportation. Currently, the State Energy Office operates more than 50 projects to meet the energy needs of North Carolinians. Agriculture Projects in agriculture include aquaculture, ethanol pro-duction from swine waste, energy effi-ciency in post-harvest produc-tion, and recycled animal waste as soil amendments. Awareness and Education The State Energy Office sponsors K-12 education in public schools through NEED (National Energy Education Development program) and the EV Challenge program. In addition, it publishes and disseminates brochures and re-ports; maintains a Web site; produces a monthly cable television program; and sponsors professional and techni-cal trainings, workshops and seminars. Buildings Among the programs that address energy efficiency in building design and construction of school, state and local government buildings are the High Performance Guidelines. These guidelines provide a model for the design and con-struction of energy-efficient, cost-effective, durable and en-vironmentally sound buildings. Other programs include energy code assessment and training, energy improvement loan programs, and energy efficiency in state construction. Business and Industry Projects in this area market and promote energy efficiency programs to corporations and businesses located in North Carolina. Topics include technical training in en-ergy management and sustainability, including reuse and recycling. Renewable and Alternative Energy Sources The State Energy Office supports demonstration efforts in renewable energy resources - wind, hydropower, solar, biomass and geothermal. It also supports a number of pro-grams that promote alternative fuel vehicles and the pro-duction and use of alternative fuels. Sustainable Communities And Emergency Response In times of supply disruptions, natural disasters, or national/state emergencies, the State Energy Office helps to facilitate state emergency response and restore services. It also surveys, on a weekly basis, state propane and heating oil prices and ensures that consumers have ade-quate supplies. Other programs, like Rebuild America, demonstrate building retrofits, the preservation of downtown areas, and the use of safe, healthy, durable, comfortable and energy-efficient building practices in construction of affordable housing. Transportation The transportation sector is the largest consumer of energy. The State Energy Office supports several pro-grams, including the EV Challenge and the U.S. De-partment of Energy's Clean Cities Program, that promote alter-native fuel vehicles (AFV) such as electric, ethanol, compressed natural gas, propane and biodiesel. The of-fice also works closely with the Motor Fleet Man-agement Division in its AFV pro-gram. Ginny Byrne, NEED lead teacher, and her students from North Ridge Elementary School (Raleigh) participate in the NEED Youth Awards as winners for North Carolina Elementary School of the Year. Wayne Denton drives a Motor Fleet Management alternative fuel vehicle. Wood, or biomass, is an alternative source of energy. Photo by Warren Gretz, National Renewable Energy Laboratory The State Energy Office helped support rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricane Floyd. Maggie Crawford stands in front of the "E-house" in Kinston. Built after her original house was de-stroyed, it was designed and constructed with energy-efficient technologies. Photo by Advanced Energy Corporation Sustainability The State Energy Office promotes and practices environ-mental sustainability through its programs, services and ac-tivities. Because energy availability and costs affect each facet of state government operations, the State Energy Of-fice seeks innovative, cooperative, energy-saving strategies with other agencies in the fields of transportation, industry and commerce, housing and construction, and natural and environmental resources. For example, the State Energy Office works with the State Construction Office to ensure new buildings and retrofits are designed energy efficiently and with the Motor Fleet Management Division to advance the use of alternative fuel vehicles in the state motor pool. Energy Policy Council Created by the North Carolina Energy Policy Act of 1975, the Energy Policy Council is charged with overseeing the state's energy policies and providing recommendations for policy changes to the governor and General Assembly. Current members are: Secretary Gwynn T. Swinson N.C. Department of Administration Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps N.C. Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Secretary Jim Fain N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary William G. Ross Jr. N.C. Department of Environment & Natural Resources Chairman Jo Anne Sanford N.C. Utilities Commission Senator Hamilton C.

America is not happy with these girls. (Photo courtesy Onward State / December 6, 2012) |
The Chi Omega Nu Gamma sorority at Penn State University (CONG?) is drawing scrutiny for a recent picture. The photo, above, was taken during a theme party and posted to Facebook. Now it's gone viral, and not in a good way like Gangnam Style or that double rainbow guy. From the PSU website Onward State:
The photograph in question was supposedly taken at a Mexican fiesta themed social around Halloween. Members of the Chi Omega Nu Gamma chapter are pictured dressed in ponchos, sombreros, and fake mustaches. One girl is holding a sign that reads "will mow lawn for weed & beer" and another reads "I don't cut grass I smoke it."
This is not a very racially sensitive photo, but I think it's important to remember that these girls are all 18-22 years old. Kids do a lot of stupid shit. When I was young, my friends threw an Around the World Party. I was in charge of the Africa room. I wore a dashiki that I crafted out of a Salvation Army blanket and served a mixed drink called Africa's Incredible Drink Special. It was racially insensitive and stupid. But I was a kid. The only difference between me and these sorority girls is that I didn't have Facebook back then. Also, when I go to the bar, I have to pay for my own drinks. And people only laugh at my jokes when they're funny. And I can't get random guys to come over and do all my manual labor tasks for me. And I don't exploit body image flaws in order to exert my superiority over my rivals. And I'm a hideous troll and it's like Trevor doesn't even notice me! Alright, now that I think about it, there are several differences between me and a hot young sorority girl.

Philadelphia, PA - 01/14/2010 - In the wake of the devastating earthquake that has struck the nation and people of Haiti, The Pew Charitable Trusts is contributing $500,000 to support relief efforts. The relief comes in two separate grants of $250,000 each to the American Red Cross and CARE."The people of Haiti are dealing with disaster on a massive scale," said Rebecca Rimel, Pew President and CEO. "We want to support the rapid and extensive response to this earthquake and its inevitably difficult aftermath. We also urge other philanthropies and corporations to join us in supporting Haiti relief during this time of great need."The contributions will help provide emergency services and other support to those affected by the earthquake, ensuring access to food, shelter and medical care."We are proud to join with the American people as our nation comes to the aid of our neighbors in Haiti," Ms. Rimel continued. "Since its first such grant in 1948, Pew has consistently supported the outstanding work of relief organizations like the American Red Cross and CARE."If you would like to make a donation to either organization mentioned above, please visit their Web sites:

Looking for a vacation destination? Belkin is hoping that the masses will flock to its new Belkin Store in Culver City, California.
OK, maybe not. However, if you're in the vicinity of the Westfield Culver City Mall, try stopping by. This is the company's very first retail location and much like the Apple Store, the spot invites consumers to get their hands on Belkin's networking products and accessories. It's a one-stop shopping environment.
"With the Belkin Store, we have created a place where people can experience the full breadth of Belkin products all in one location," said Chet Pipkin, president and CEO of Belkin. "Opening a retail store gives us the opportunity to properly showcase our brand's commitment to creating people-inspired products and connect with our customers in a more meaningful way."
If you're not near the Westfield Culver City Mall, Belkin does plan to open other stores around Los Angeles and in San Francisco later this year.

WUOG Banquet Offered a Lion's Share of Local Music
Another semester has come and gone. As classes are wrapped up and Jittery Joes prepares for their finals rush we at WUOG made sure to take a night to celebrate another high achieving semester.
Friday December 3rd heralded the latest installment of the WUOG Winter Banquet at the beautiful historic Ciné. In addition to delightful snacks, candy-themed decor, and an incredible ginger-brownie there was delicious local music! If you put that many music junkies in a room together you'd be hard-pressed to keep them together without it!
After the awards ceremony (many congratulations to all winners!) The Humms took the stage. They played a great set of psychedelic garage pop. This was my first time hearing the Humms, although I've been hearing of them for a year or so. They're music is easy to listen to, full of great hooks and I even heard some good Southern rock twang in unexpected places. Their lyrics were simple and made sense. Overall, they played a tight set, had good chemistry, and did nothing new. I'm looking forward to catching their next show.
Next up was supergroup Supercluster. They have musicians from several well known local bands and the whole ends up sounding remarkably different from the parts. The level of musicianship was superb, but I must admit that I personally didn't find the mix to match my tastes–live, that is. I was introduced to Supercluster via Waves, their first full length album. The album is great! Unfortunately the sound had trouble getting across with the technology Friday night. I had trouble hearing about half of the musicians above the bass, percussion, lead guitar, and vocals. Regardless, the show was fun! The group clearly enjoys playing with each other. I imagine this band is a fun side project for most of the members. Their sound is very indicative of Athens music.
The highlight of their set, in my humble opinion, was their Christmas song. Fortunately for you, some local music staffers were able to get their hands on a copy of the lyrics. The video is their best attempt at a reproduction of the rhythm rap romp of Christmas cheer that Supercluster ended their set with.
To finish the night off Casper and the Cookies pounded out their catchy inflect-y pop tunes. This is another group that has been doing great things under various guises in Athens for years and the current collaborations of it's members are well worth your time. The lyrics are tight, the lead singer (Jason NeSmith) has awesome hair, and they're straight up dance-tastic. In my book, if you can't help but dance then the band is doing everything correctly. Due to other obligations I sadly missed the end of the set, but the first half had more than enough good things for me to rant about. Everything was tight, and the vocals were spot on and in tune (bless them). Their live show was spiffy, and despite a middle of the road sound system they came across loud and clear as a long time Athenian band that we hope will be around for much longer.

John Harrigan: A new take on eating crow? 'Murder,' the maven wrote; but should there be a season?
This last sentence is confused (as are by now its readers) as to what constitutes "migratory." We have native woodcock in New Hampshire. They tend to be more flighty (all right, a pun), and a bit thicker, if not in numbers then in body. They hit their apogee faster, and then fly away like Sidewinder missiles.
But should New Hampshire have a defined hunting season for crows? No. For one thing, once you have a defined "season" for a creature I'd think (have to check on F&G game damage and control on this) you (we, you, me, government) become liable for any damages - corn, berries, sheep, lambs, chickens, fruit, and on and on. That is precisely why I think - potential damages - F&G does not have a controlled season on coyotes. Shoot at will (not mine).

Going Linux Practical Information for Using Linux To Get Things Done |
Free Linux is widely known as the "free" operating system, yet some companies actually sell their distributions of Linux. What's that all about? Well, it all depends on which definition you are using when you are describing the software. The distinction is between the concepts of freedom and free-of-charge. In the Linux world, the two concepts are often called "free as in speech" and "free as in beer" respectively. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_Libre) draws the distinction between "free as in speech" (libre) and "free as in beer" (gratis) like this: In
hacker slang, gratis is typically referred to as free as in beer while
libre is referred to as free as in speech. Free as in beer refers to
things which are available at no monetary cost (like free beer at a
party). By contrast, the expressions free as in speech, free as in
freedom, and free as in rights, refer to something which is free of any
and all restrictions, as in the freedom of speech.
Since the advent of the free software movement, these terms have entered frequent use for categorising computer programs according to the licenses and legal restrictions that cover them, such as copyright and patents. Both this expression and the term gratis are used to distinguish freeware (gratis software) from free software. OK, so something can be "free as in speech" without being "free as in beer". (Is it any wonder that the English language is so difficult to learn?) There are several other related terms that probably need to be defined and compared as well. The table below compares some of the characteristics of software that is "free" (no charge, gratis), "free and open source" (libre), "closed source," "proprietary," and "non-free." To be clear, the table is meant to illustrate the rights of the average user, not the rights of a reseller, redistributor or other vendor. Note also that there is some ambiguity over the actual definition of certain terms such as "non-free." This table makes no attempt to resolve that ambiguity. It also does not address "freeware" or "shareware." For more detailed descriptions of each term, use the hyperlinks above. They take you to some of the Wikipedia entries for each. (You may want a bottle of headache remedy within easy reach before you do that!) BBC Video on Free and Open Source Software The Codebreakers is a two-part documentary, originally aired on BBC World TV during May 2006. It discusses the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) to help develop poor countries. It also includes some very interesting stories and interviews.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy, Ranking Member, Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing On "The Thompson Memorandum's Effect on the Right to Counsel in Corporate Investigations" September 12, 2006 The protection of communications between client and lawyer has been fundamental to our nation's legal justice system since its inception. The right to counsel has long been recognized as essential to ensure fairness, justice and equality under the law for all Americans. This Administration has taken extraordinary steps to investigate and prosecute the press and to intimidate the press, critics, and attorneys while it has claimed unlimited privileges and secrecy for itself. As a former prosecutor, I understand all too well that our democracy requires a healthy respect for the law and that criminal wrongdoing must be punished. Wrongdoers who profit at the expense of ordinary working Americans must be held accountable. This is true for corporate wrongdoers and for those who violate the public's trust. Following Enron's collapse in 2001, I authored the criminal provisions in the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002, commonly referred to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which strengthened existing criminal penalties for corporate crime. I have since repeatedly offered stronger criminal penalties and accountability for war profiteering and contractor fraud-- only to be stymied by Administration and Republican opposition. Those war profiteering provisions are now also included in the REAL Security Act, introduced by the Senate Democratic leadership last week to refocus our efforts against terrorism and to make American safer. Like so many aspects of the Administration's involvement in Iraq, the fraud and waste that have plagued the rebuilding efforts there undermine our efforts to win hearts and minds in that part of the world that are necessary to any success. Historically the attorney-client privilege has been balanced with competing objectives, including the need to ensure cooperation with the Government in criminal or regulatory probes. The issue before us today is whether this Justice Department has struck the right balance. In the wake of major corporate scandals at Enron, WorldCom and elsewhere, the Justice Department revised its corporate fraud policy in 2003, when then Deputy Attorney General Larry D. Thompson issued the "Principals of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations." The "Thompson Memorandum" - as it is commonly known - increased the emphasis on, and scrutiny of, a corporation's cooperation with the Government in connection with corporate fraud investigations. Specifically, the memorandum requires, among other things, that corporations under criminal investigation who wish to cooperate with the Government demonstrate their willingness to cooperate by waiving the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, by restricting the payment of legal fees for employees under investigation, and by refraining from entering into joint defense agreements and other information-sharing arrangements. A growing number of critics of the Thompson Memorandum - including former Republican Attorneys General - have expressed concern that the Department's policy is too heavy handed and that the policy has created a dangerous "culture of waiver" in our criminal justice system. Last month, the American Bar Association adopted a resolution opposing the Department's policy because it has the effect of eroding constitutional and other legal rights. Last Friday, the Wall Street Journal editorial board joined the criticism of Attorney General Gonzales and the Thompson Memorandum, noting that the coercive intimidation it represents is "more than a PR problem" for the Administration. Two recent cases involving the Justice Department's corporate fraud prosecutions highlight the ABA's concerns. Earlier this year, the Department took the unusual step of criminally indicting the securities class-action law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman after that law firm refused to sign a deferred prosecution agreement that would have required the firm to waive the attorney-client privilege. In June, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York ruled that the Department had unfairly pressured accounting firm KPMG not to pay the legal fees of its former partners, in violation of the partners' Fifth Amendment right to a fair trial and Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The serious legal and constitutional concerns raised by the Department's policy have far-reaching implications. Erosion of the right to counsel undermines the fairness of our criminal justice system for all Americans. Once lost, this fundamental right would be hard to regain. Many critics worry that the Thompson Memorandum is yet another example of this Administration's tendency to overreach in asserting executive power without regard for the Constitution, the laws, and basic fairness.

Hop Break/Clumping Question
Moderators: slothrob, 2row, wottaguy

Hop Break/Clumping Question
I just brewed a Big Pale Ale, and experianced what I thought to be excessive clumping in the wart. My procedure was mash for 50 min at 150-160, raise temp to 175 for 10 min, and sparge out with 160 degree all F. I brought the wart to a boil which took probably 10 min and let it go for another 15-20 min before I added bitter hops. During the boil before hop addition, there was a bunch of clumps and there was alot of foam, I reduced the heat to get the foam down, but the clumps remained. The total boil was about 120 min so I could reduce the 6.75 gallons down to 5.00, and because I am under the impression that 120 min is a good range for heavy all grain brews. If there is a problem with this clumping let me know, or is this normal hop break action.

Lakeside Shopping Centre, (Branded as Intu Lakeside) is a large out-of-town shopping centre located in West Thurrock, in the borough of Thurrock, Essex just beyond the eastern boundary of Greater London. It was constructed on the site of a former chalk quarry.[1] The first tenants moved into the complex in 1988 and it was completed in 1990, being opened on 25 October of that year by Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, Marcus Bradford and Angus Ogilvy.
The shopping centre, in addition to the retail parks, forms one of the largest shopping areas in a single location within Europe, with almost 2,600,000 square feet (240,000 m2) of retail space on a site of 200 acres (0.81 km2). The community of Chafford Hundred has grown to the east of the centre since its opening. Its main rival is the Bluewater Shopping Centre in Greenhithe, Kent just across the River Thames.
The centre was rebranded as "intu Lakeside" in 2013 following the renaming of parent Capital Shopping Centres Group plc as "intu properties plc".[2]
Main shopping centre[edit]
The shopping centre is the seventh largest in Britain with 1,434,000 sq ft (133,200 m2) available as retail floorspace[3] - the MetroCentre in Gateshead, after its expansion in 2004, is the largest. There are over 250 shops, of which there are 4 anchor stores (Marks and Spencer, House of Fraser, Debenhams and Primark), 50 cafes and restaurants and a 26-acre (110,000 m2) lake named Alexandra Lake with a PADI certified diving school complex. Intu Lakeside has on average 500,000 visitors per week.
It is currently open on weekdays from 10 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm. The centre's car parks have capacity for 13,000 cars.
Transport connections[edit]
The centre has a direct link to Chafford Hundred railway station and is connected to the M25 motorway which is London's outermost ring road, as well as to the A13 road which connects central and east London to Basildon and Southend-on-Sea. It is connected to the London Bus network by London Buses routes 370 and 372 with other operators such as Ensignbus and First also providing regular bus services to the centre. Route X80 operated by Ensignbus provides a link to Bluewater across the Dartford Crossing.
New developments[edit]
To ensure the centre maintains its competition with the newer (and what is perceived by some as more 'upmarket') Bluewater shopping centre, which lies just over the Thames in Greenhithe, Lakeside has recently undergone major refurbishment at a cost of £30 million. This included new Italian porcelain flooring, new lighting, a new ceiling and new glass roofs which allow much more natural light into the shopping centre. There are now also new, faster lifts, and four more escalators, along with automatic entrance doors. The refurbishment has also encouraged refitting of many shops so that they complement the new surroundings. In September 2005, Next opened an 18,600 sq ft (1,730 m2). extension to their store.
The Lakeside Pavilion, a market area adjoined to the main shopping centre via a covered bridge was closed in 2006, refurbished, and re-opened in June 2007 as 'The Boardwalk'.
The Boardwalk provides an additional 59,000 sq ft (5,500 m2). of retail space for eleven new restaurants along with more retail and leisure space, as well as a 10 metre boardwalk, offering external seating which overlooks Alexandra Lake. The Old Orleans bar and restaurant boat was also refurbished and re-opened on the same day, with new features including a rooftop bar.
Vue cinema formed part of the old Lakeside Pavilion, with a seven screen cinema. This closed on 11 January 2007 to be refurbished, and was re-opened on Friday 15 June 2007; the refurbishment resulted in nine state-of-the-art screens with stadium seating. 'Gold Class', a premium screen that housed luxury seating, has since been abandoned in favour of VIP seating sections in every screen. The 'Evolution Screen', with a combination of giant bean bag chairs amongst VIP seating, was the first of its kind in the UK.[4]
Apple opened[5] its tenth UK store at Lakeside Shopping Centre.[6]
Marks & Spencer, one of the centre's four anchor stores, applied for planning permission in July 2008 to allow construction of a 23,970 sq ft (2,230 m2) third storey extension to their store, in addition to an extensive refurbishment of the store layout and customer facilities. The application was approved at the end of October 2008 although no construction has taken place as of July 2011.[7][8]
Supergroup, owners of the Cult and Superdry brands opened its largest-ever store at the centre in July 2010, in the unit previously occupied by Woolworths.[9] Ed's Easy Diner also opened their fifth restaurant in the centre's food court in July 2010.[10]
Taco Bell re-entered the UK market in June 2010 with the opening of its first stores at intu Lakeside.[11]
US fashion giant Forever 21 has recently opened a new 35,000 sq ft (3,300 m2) flagship store at intu Lakeside, in a three-floor unit. [12]
Intu Lakeside was granted permission in 2012 to extend to include 30-40 new stores, a new footbridge across the Alexandra Lake to the Lakeside Retail Park, a new leisure area, a new 80 bed Travelodge hotel overlooking the river and a brand new transport hub where the current railway station bridge is to allow easier interchange. Intu Lakeside hopes to have these improvements completed by 2016 and estimates the improvements will cost £180 million.[13]
Retail parks[edit]
There are also two retail parks nearby called the Lakeside Retail Park and The Junction. Lakeside Retail Park has a number of stores such as:
The Junction (this is part of the Tunnel Estate) has shops such as:
In August 2009, it was announced that US retail giant Best Buy would be opening one of its first UK stores at The Junction. The company had signed a ten-year lease for a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) megastore located on the site of the former Courts store. The new store opened 30 April 2010. As of 14 January 2012, this branch and all Best Buy operations in the UK have ceased trading. The former Best Buy building has now reopened as a Kiddicare outlet. In a move to counter the opening of Best Buy, Currys signed up to take on 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) of retail space in Lakeside Retail Park, on the site vacated by Danish Store ILVA. Currys opened the new megastore in spring 2010.
In 1998, Lakesiders was a BBC docusoap narrated by Pauline Quirke following the activities of management, shopkeepers and staff of the shopping centre. The fractious working relationship between Essex FM's breakfast show DJ Martin Day and his boss Paul Chantler also featured. The theme music was by Simon May. A new series, Return to Lakesiders, was filmed by the BBC in 2007 and was broadcast on BBC Two 18–22 August 2008.

NBC sends Donald Trump a warning
The network's entertainment unit says it'll take action if the celebrity businessman 'does things that cross a line.'
As the host of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," real estate developer Donald Trump walks a fine line between generating buzz -- and viewers -- and creating animosity.
Now, Trump might want to make sure he keeps on the "buzz" side of the equation, with Comcast's (CMCSA) NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt saying the network will take action if he "becomes somehow hurtful and says or does things that cross a line," according to a report in Deadline.com.
Some might say Trump has already stepped over the line: a petition started last year aimed at urging Macy's (M) to sever ties with Trump has gained almost 680,000 signatures.
According to the petition, Trump has "engaged in sexist behavior" and "perpetuated the racially charged birther conspiracy," among its complaints. The same campaign, from the liberal group MoveOn.org, last month hired a mobile billboard reading "Dump Trump" to circle Macy's corporate headquarters.
Macy's has sidestepped the issue, with chief executive Terry Lundgren noting that the perfume, clothing and other merchandise it sells bearing Trump's name "are not representative of any political position," according to the New York Daily News.
So far, it seems Trump is on NBC's good side. The network renewed his show, with "Celebrity Apprentice" returning on March 3 for an all-star edition. (The star power in the newest edition of Trump's long-running show is debatable, relying on competitors from the program's fast five seasons. They include actors Stephen Baldwin and Gary Busey and musicians Dee Snider and Bret Michaels.)
Cracks might be showing in Trump's ratings pull, however. In May, "Celebrity Apprentice" drew the program's lowest-rated finale episode, with only 6.8 million viewers tuning in. That's a far cry from the 12.1 million viewers who watched the show's finale in 2008, when Piers Morgan won the competition.
Despite the flagging ratings, "Celebrity Apprentice" is still a workhorse for NBC -- and Greenblatt adds that the network doesn't think Trump has crossed that line yet.
"He has his political belief system but I really don't think what he's doing in his personal life is going to corrupt what he's doing on the show," Greenblatt said. He spoke at the Television Critics Association tour, held this week in California.
He added, referring to Trump's toying with the idea of running for president in the last election, "We talked him out of running for president, wasn't that good enough?"

Burke First Volleyball Signee For 2010
Wilmore, Ky. - Asbury volleyball has signed their first recruit in the JP Rader era as Mackenzie Burke becomes the first signee for 2010. Burke, from Lexington's Lafayette High School, will be looked at to help direct the Eagles' defense and attack from the setter position.
Coach Rader had this to say about the incoming freshman, "Mackenzie is an outstanding student-athlete that we are thrilled to have in our 2010 recruiting class. She is an excellent setter who will improve our overall defense as well as direct our attack."
Burke will be looked at to replace outgoing senior Julia Armstrong as the team's setter. At Lafayette Burke was named All-City 1st team as a senior and All-City 2nd team as a sophomore and junior. She was also awarded the 110% award, team MVP, and the Team Comes 1st Award. She's not just a gifted athlete as she was on the Athletic Honor Roll all four years.
Asbury finished 24-14 overall in 2009 with a 6-2 mark in the KIAC. The Eagles finished second in the KIAC Tournament after a third place finish in the regular season. Asbury also competed in the NCCAA Mid-East Regional for only the 2nd time in school history.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF STREET MAINTENANCE? - Preserves streets in good condition It costs less to maintain roads in good condition, than it does to reconstruct roads in bad condition. SOME STREETS LOOK FINE. WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THEM? Streets may look okay, but actually be at the onset of distress. As soon as streets are constructed, they immediately begin to deteriorate. This is evidenced by the fading of the rich black color to the brown and then gray. The next step of deterioration is minor cracking which widen and deepen over time. In the beginning the deterioration process is slow and accelerates near the end of pavement service life. And like your car, if you don't provide preventative maintenance or let the maintenance go too long, then you will be facing major costs for repairs or replacement. |
Maintenance -Extending the Life of | ||
WHAT IS THE ISSUE? Over the last 30 years or so, Street Department funding has not increased enough to cover increasing costs to properly maintain the City's growing street system. Street maintenance has been deferred to the point that 50% of our City Streets are considered to be in "Fair to Good" condition and 50% are considered to be in "Poor" condition. In 2007, City Council made improving our streets one of their priority goals. In 2010, City Council appointed a Citizens Committee to study the problem and make recommendations on funding a Street Plan for maintenance and reconstruction needs. The Committee made its final recommendations in 2012. At City Council direction, City staff has developed a funding mechanism and a Street Preventive Maintenance Program (SPMP) to address maintenance of good City streets (not reconstruction). The Street Maintenance Fee will raise $11.4 million dollars per year in addition to the $10 million we currently have YOUR STREET SYSTEM The City of Corpus Christi's Street Network consists of Arterial Streets such as Staples and Everhart, Collector Streets such as Aquarius and Acushnet, and Residential Streets which are our neighborhood streets. The total system is approximately 1,204 miles and consists of: WHAT IS STREET PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE? Preventative Maintenance is a planned strategy of cost effective treatments to an existing roadway system that preserves the system, retards future deterioration, and maintains or improves the functional condition of the system. Preventive street maintenance extends service life of structurally sound pavements, and is typically applied to pavements in good condition having significant remaining service life. Examples of preventive treatments include: SEALING COATING, ASPHALT OVERLAYS, and CRACK SEALING. | STREET PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (SPMP) Two main types of preventive street maintenance will take place under the STREET PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM (SPMP) ‐ seal coating and asphalt overlay. City streets are inspected and assessed using a Micro–PAVER Pavement Management System. Twenty pavement distresses (their type, severity, and quantity) are used to determine a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each section of a street. The PCI is like a grade, 0 to 100, 100 being the best. The PCI is used as a planning tool for street work. Streets with PCI in the range of 0 to 55 are considered Poor and are candidates for reconstruction. Streets with a PCI in the range 56 to 100 are considered to be in Fair to Good condition and are candidates for Preventative Maintenance. The process of selecting streets to work on in the SPMP involves assessment of the overall street condition which includes: pavement condition, curb & gutter, drainage, ADA (American Disability Act) requirements and underground utilities. The SPMP is primarily for streets in Good condition and not for streets in Poor condition. Streets in Poor condition will be considered under a different program, primarily because of the extensive reconstructive work needed to be done utilizing a different funding mechanism. WHAT IS A SEAL COATING? Seal Coating is a process to provide a "protective coating" to preserve the pavement from elements that lead to failures. The protective coating helps to restore the asphalt binder cement which overtime becomes exhausted and allows the pavement to unravel. The next step of deterioration is minor cracking which can widen and deepen over time. If the cracks go untreated, water seeps into the base and damages the pavement's load bearing capacity. This is evidence by the formation of rutting, shifting, and alligator cracking. A chip seal is a thin layer of hot asphalt applied to the street surface and then is embedded with small aggregate (rock). The seal coal is expected to rejuvenate and add a wear surface that lasts up to 7 years. WHAT IS AN ASPHALT OVERLAY? An asphalt overlay is applying a new layer of hot mix asphalt cement to the street surface, sealing it. Milling is often needed to match pavement grades or to remove distressed pavement. The typical thin overlays are less than 2 inches. Overlays are expected to preserve the life of street pavement for at least 10 years. Download or print this page in pdf format. |

UNH Scientists Receive NASA Funds to Measure Impact of Melting Mountain Glaciers for Next IPCC Assessment
UNH Scientists Receive NASA Funds to Measure Impact of Melting Mountain Glaciers for Next IPCC Assessment
Scientists in the Water Systems Analysis Group in the University of New Hampshire's Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) have been funded by NASA to improve estimates of how melting mountain glaciers around the globe will contribute to sea level rise in the future. The data will be a critical new element in the next assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The multi-institution project also involves scientists from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and the Ohio State University. The three-year study will estimate and predict the contribution of mountain glaciers to sea level for the last decade and out to the end of this century. The interdisciplinary work combines glaciology, meteorology, hydrology, satellite remote sensing, and sea-level research.
"Our role in this project is to plug new meltwater estimates into the global water balance/river transport model we developed here at UNH and move it all downstream to gauge potential sea level rise," says co-investigator and lead UNH scientist Richard Lammers. "It's an accounting of the world's water under changing conditions."
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988. Thousands of scientists from all over the world reflecting a range of views and expertise contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis. They review and assess the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide. This enables the IPCC to provide a rigorously developed, balanced, scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts to governments and other decision makers.
Berrien Moore III, founding director of UNH's EOS, was among the network of IPCC scientists who were recognized for their work when, in 2007, the IPCC and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."

Mike D'Antoni thinks Lakers can improve this season, even without Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard's free agent departure wasn't only a heavy blow to the Lakers' future, but also a crippling one to the team's present. Any hope that L.A. had of contending for the title in the coming season left with Howard; his recovery from injury and further integration into the Laker workings sat at the crux of the team's improvement, to say nothing of how valuable he would have been in stemming any dip in Kobe Bryant's production as he worked his way back from a torn Achilles tendon.
But life for the Lakers moves on all the same, and this season L.A. will have to do without a superstar-caliber center. For his part, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni hasn't let that loss dampen his optimism. In an interview with Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times, D'Antoni conveyed his belief that the Lakers can improve upon the 45-37 record — good for the seventh seed in the West — they posted a season ago, Howard's absence be damned:
"I don't see why not," he said. "I think we can be better because I don't think we reached our potential last year. Our lack of defense came mostly from lack of energy from guys that didn't feel right in their place on the team. Defense is energy, concentration and the desire to do it.
"If something is sapping that energy — distractions, injuries, not feeling good about the team — then you're not going to put your heart and soul into it and it comes out on the defensive end. They just didn't feel each other."
The "distractions" (primarily associated with Howard's then-impending free agency) seem overstated in this case, particularly relative to the Lakers injuries. D'Antoni is right in that energy and concentration are crucial to playing effective defense, but in the NBA so is a basic familiarity with one's teammates. L.A. had its problems with players — Howard included, and perhaps especially — not getting back in transition and rotating at half-speed, but moreover suffered from the lack of rhythm that commonly hits injury-plagued teams. Dealing with Bryant's freelancing, Steve Nash's defensive limitations, and Pau Gasol's lack of foot speed would have been a challenge with a healthy roster, but Howard's lingering back injury and the periodic absences of both Gasol and Nash made it impossible for the Lakers to ever catch a groove.
A hypothetically healthy Lakers team does have a chance to offer a more consistent defensive front, if still not one within conceivable range of contention or even genuine, bottom-line improvement. That puts D'Antoni somewhere between right and wrong; continuity alone could create an opportunity for the Lakers to play more fundamental defense than the team that ranked 20th in the league last season in points allowed per possession, but the same limitations still exist within the roster and without Howard around to help in any capacity. L.A. can be better in terms of playing off of one another and playing with better energy overall, though even that might not translate to tangible defensive improvement given all the ways that Howard influences opponents' actions while serving as a back-line defender.
