The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished schol-
ars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology
and to their use for the general welfare. On the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in
1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and techni-
cal matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration
and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for
advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs
aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achieve-
ments of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the
services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining
to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of
Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, on its own initiative,
to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the
Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate
the broad community of science and technology with the Academys � p urposes of furthering knowledge and
advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Acad-
emy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences
and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the
scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the
Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively,
of the National Research Council.
The Transportation Research Board is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council. The
mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation innovation and
progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisci-
plinary, and multimodal. The Board's varied activities annually engage about 7,000 engineers, scientists, and
other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of
whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program is supported by state transportation
departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transporta-
tion, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation. www.TRB.org

FOREWORD Airport administrators, engineers, and researchers often face problems for which informa-
tion already exists, either in documented form or as undocumented experience and practice.
This information may be fragmented, scattered, and unevaluated. As a consequence, full
knowledge of what has been learned about a problem may not be brought to bear on its
solution. Costly research findings may go unused, valuable experience may be overlooked,
and due consideration may not be given to recommended practices for solving or alleviat-
ing the problem.
There is information on nearly every subject of concern to the airport industry. Much
of it derives from research or from the work of practitioners faced with problems in their
day-to-day work. To provide a systematic means for assembling and evaluating such use-
ful information and to make it available to the entire airport community, the Airport Coop-
erative Research Program authorized the Transportation Research Board to undertake a
continuing project. This project, ACRP Project 11-03, "Synthesis of Information Related
to Airport Practices," searches out and synthesizes useful knowledge from all available
sources and prepares concise, documented reports on specific topics. Reports from this
endeavor constitute an ACRP report series, Synthesis of Airport Practice.
This synthesis series reports on current knowledge and practice, in a compact format,
without the detailed directions usually found in handbooks or design manuals. Each report
in the series provides a compendium of the best knowledge available on those measures
found to be the most successful in resolving specific problems.
PREFACE This synthesis study is intended to inform airport operators, aircraft pilots, planning man-

Research Board systems interference impacts from energy technologies on airports and aviation safety. The
energy technologies that are the focus of this report are:
� Solar Photovoltaic Panels and Farms--Solar photovoltaic (PV) generates electricity from
sunlight on light absorbing panels with many panels together representing a solar farm.
� Concentrating Solar Power Plants--Concentrating solar power (CSP) utilizes mirrors
to focus and intensify the sun's heat to boil water and drive a traditional steam turbine
for the production of electricity.
� Wind Turbine Generators and Farms--Wind turbine generators (WTGs) convert energy
from wind to electricity either as single units or multiple units also known as farms.
� Traditional Power Plants--Traditional power plants are fueled by fossil or biofuels
and generate base load electricity by boiling water and forcing the steam through a
turbine. Cooling systems are necessary to cool the steam for reuse. Peaker power plants
are a subset of this category that are being proposed to start up and shut down quickly
in response to seasonal fluctuations in energy demand.
Information used in this study was acquired through both published and preliminary
sources and interviews with experts in the fields of aviation and energy.
Stephen B. Barrett and Philip M. DeVita, Harris Miller Miller and Hanson Inc., Burling-
ton, Massachusetts, collected and synthesized the information and wrote the report. The mem-
bers of the topic panel are acknowledged on the preceding page. This synthesis is an imme-
diately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable within the
limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research
and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand.

Red Basilica (Temple of Serapis), Pergamum
The Kizil Avlu (Red Basilica or Red Hall) of Bergama is one impressive pile of red brick.
The massive structure was built in the early 2nd century (under Hadrian) as a temple to the popular Egyptian god Serapis. It was later (4th-5th centuries) converted into a Byzantine church.
The Red Basilica was destroyed in the Arab raids of 716 to 717 AD, after which a smaller church was built within the ruins.
What to See
Today, the still-enormous Red Basilica straddles the Selinus River (Bergama Cayi), whose two subterranean galleries provide a canal for the water to pass.
The interior of the basilica consisted of three aisles divided by two rows of columns. The central aisle ended in a semi-circular apse, under which was a crypt. Above the lateral aisles were galleries.
A small mosque now makes its home in one of the towers.

My thesis will explore the usage of parody and satire in protesting China's Internet censorship and how modern youth have utilized the Internet not only to protest censorship and fight for free speech, but also to hold the government accountable. I will analyze how this discourse has potentially impacted China's potential for liberalism.
I hope to work in marketing—particularly for the entertainment industry. Ultimately, I plan to go to law school and work in entertainment law.

Getting approved for a line of credit with a supplier is simply an opportunity for you to start building your company's creditworthiness. The key to establishing positive credit is to make regular purchases using your vendor credit lines, and then paying invoices on or ahead of the due date. If you do not make regular purchases, then there is no way for you to establish any kind of payment history. So it is vitally important that you carefully select the suppliers with whom you apply for credit. Make sure that your business can use...

Here are some amazing weather images captured from around the globe.
Waves of thunderstorms brought damaging winds and tornadoes which affected 12 states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington confirmed Monday a fourth tornado from last week's Halloween night storms. An EF1 tornado, with wind speeds of 95 mph, touched down around 1 a.m. Friday just west of Lancaster Road about two miles northwest of Hebron, NWS said in a statement. No injuries ...
Just weeks after a devastating tornado took lives in Moore, Okla., the Oklahoma City area is once again in the path of tornadic activity. Wild weather was seen all over the state.
The city of Moore, Okla., was hit by a mile-wide tornado Monday afternoon.
A look at the devastation strong storms caused across the midwest and central plains states.
At least six people were killed Wednesday as a spring tornado outbreak devastated parts of North Texas, destroying or damaging dozens of homes and injuring dozens of people.
Weather Channel tornado expert Dr. Greg Forbes made a list of the most tornado-prone cities based on data from 1962-2011 from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center.

Is there a way to tell how many visits a specific page on a third parties website has had over a given time period (eg a month).
For Example: I might want to see how many times a particular blog entry has been read (assuming one entry per page, not consecutive entries on a single page), or how many times a specific item listing has been viewed (assuming no counter on the listing). I already know how to see traffic for www<dot>cnet<dot>com ; I want to see how many visitors have been to http<doubleslash>news<dot>cnet<dot>com<slash>8301-1023_3-57396842-93<slash>pinterest-to-get-beautiful-profile-redesigns<slash>?tag=txt;title
Is this possible via any existing webtools, or is it only something the site administrator can tell you?
Thanks! (and I hope I have put this in the right board)

Bedside Medication Delivery
| |||
Riverview Hospital and Walgreens have partnered to make it easier for patients to get their prescriptions filled before going home. The patient simply completes a form that our nursing staff faxes to Walgreens. Walgreens then delivers the medication(s) to the patients bedside before discharge. Walgreens also assists with patient education on new medications. If the patient needs durable medical equipment and wished to purchase it from Walgreens, it can also also be delivered to the bedside for patient convenience. | |||

Smiles galore
There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet;
Ganpati Pulay
Ganapati Pulay...... a small little village on the Konkan coast line with pristine waters and very calm and balmy surroundings. Also famous there is the Ganesh temple. Took this contre-jour shot in one of the many palm and coconut groves that dot the Konkan coastline. Lived in the MTDC resort at the beach and every morning that we were there, we were greeted by the sight of beautiful beach and every night slept with the sounds of the waves.

Singapore skyline
This is the skyline of Singapore at sunset. I took this with a point-and-shoot. No melodramatic colors as it was threatening to be a bleak and rainy evening. But The beauty of the whole scene was totally breathtaking.

Beauty in rugged terrain
I live in Pune..... a plateau surrounded on all sides by hills and mountains. For me growing up included trekking these hills and being totally enamored by the scenery...... which forever keeps changing. I took this pic with a point-and-shoot in Lonavala, a hill station very close to Pune. The hills were covered with a beautiful green carpet of grass and there was this strange looking leafless moss covered tree growing out of nowhere among the rocks. A couple sat ensconced in the middle of all this totally oblivious of everything and everyone.
I caught sight of these little flowers in Singapore at the Orchid Garden. They weren't among the highlighted flowers but I thought it was most beautiful.

The best part of photographing Sofites is that they don't crib!!!! Put them anywhere hold them anyway..... take hours putting them in sun or shade...... they don't utter one cribby word. This is my favorite softie..... (I have lots and lots of them) She looks dumb..... but very cute!!!

Flamingos are my favorite birds. Not only because they are beautiful but because of their migratory nature. We have them in India around March in Sewri in Mumbai. These days their numbers have dwindled so for the last few years photographing them has been banned. I took this pic with a point-and-shoot at Singapore zoo. I love the vibrant colors of the birds: A GIFT of nature...... I'd love to add flowers and vibrant skies as well but these beautiful birds take ur breath away....... Simply brilliant!!!
Sunsets from Goa Beach

Giving and Receiving
These three pics are my version of giving and receiving. It shows hands offering prayers and flowers and taking blessings. I am Hindu. We believe that the fire is the most pure element and hence we seek blessings from it.
Posting it in FMTSO
Flowers and leaves (Basil and Bael) are offered to the deity.
Flowers are a very important feature in all prayers. Check here for more details.
Receiving blessings from the Aarti.
This pic was chosen as one of the spotlight pics in Friday My Town Shoot-Out : Theme : Arms and Legs.
These pics are from Jejuri and the main temple of Khandoba. The Temple finds its uniqueness by the 450 or more stairs that you have to climb to get there and also by the 350 deepmalas. I haven't yet seen one single temple that houses sooooooo many deepmalas. The other factor that amazed me was the crowds of people that flank the place on sundays. I actually returned back after seeing the throngs of people...... lacs and lacs of them......... and had to make another trip another day just to go up.
Posting it in Our World Tuesday.
This is the main entrance to the temple after you have climbed all the 450 which seemed much much much more to me.
This is a view of the steps which lead you to the main gabhara or temple which houses the idols.
This is the final leg of the stairs.

Blue Skies and blue water
I took this pic in Goa and Anjuna beach. Just close to the water there was this shack and this lone coconut tree. There were more coconut trees some feet away but I was visually able to cut this one off the rest and it gave the impression of a lone viewer of the seas..... it kinda looked isolated, sage and ponderous. I went click click click.
Flowers from the fences.
This particular flower grows in the fences of a building I pass by. It withers immediately if you pick it. I don't really know the name of this flower. But what attracted me to these flowers were its purple stamens. That made it really unique.

Football in the rain
This pic is from the archives a month back when we had torrential rains. A group of kids thought it was a great day for some soccer in the rain. It brought a lot of cheer on an otherwise gloomy day...... a candid long shot from my terrace.... clarity of the pic is compromised because of the darkness and the rain.

Candid shots of a Family having a picnic lunch.
I saw this small family enjoying a picnic lunch in the shade of a tree on a hot summer afternoon. I love the anticipation in the eyes of all three members of the family as the mother open the box of goodies. Even the youngest member of the family...... It was very endearing!!!

Friday Skywatch
Took this picture from the terrace of my home. This is again another page from nature's bounty. I haven't edited the picture one bit only cropped it from the top. The sky usually seems to have all these myriad of colors after a brief spell of rain.

Para gliding in Goa. This is a long shot of some paragliders in the sea at Goa. They looked so beautiful flying.
Submitting this in Watery Wednesday and Southern Daydreamer
I found this broken bottle on the beach...... probably washed up by water from some place, or could be some genie who escaped from the bottle or some insensitive person who smashed his beer bottle after drinking its content. So many mysterious stories can be woven on this one broken bottle. The reflections it made on the sand and water were amazing couldn't resist clicking it....... before i threw it in the trash.

Izzy's 2011 holiday art show was cobbled together at the last minute, says owner Ross Britton. But it succeeded in bringing an alternative source of paraphernalia to whatever holiday conglomerate you subscribe to. So, once more unto the breach.
This year's incarnation of Izzy's second-annual "Gifted Art Show, Deluxe Edition" features small, largely ornamental works by a half-dozen Asheville artists.
It's slightly debaucherous and more original than your average ornament or thematic gift purchase. To wit: The works range from spent Pabst cans — twisted, bent and otherwise morphed into ornaments — to paintings, photographs, mirrors and small, hand-knitted pieces.
All of the works are homegrown, made by Asheville artists Ryan Ashley Anderson, Liz Maire, Suzy Millions, Madd Max, Marshall Pyle and Michael Traister. Izzy's is located at 74 N. Lexington Ave.

More ominous news about conscription:
The Los Angeles Times published excerpts from the Army's investigation of abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
The official Best Possible Spin is in. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, despite having not read the Army investigator's report describing the abuse, said "categorically" that "there is no evidence of systematic abuse" and blamed the scandal on "just a handful" of abusive guards whose actions "besmirch maybe the reputations of hundreds of thousands." Fafblog summarizes:
- The activities that occurred at Abu Ghuraib prison are not to be compared to those of Saddam Hussein's rape rooms and torture chambers. After all, those were rape rooms and torture chambers. These were merely rooms in which rape occurred, and chambers in which individuals were tortured.
- In war, atrocities will happen, as dew on the grass in the morning, or flower blossoms in the spring. The dew gathers. The buds open. The atrocities bloom. It is all according to the mysterious, ever-unfolding cycle of life — a cycle too vast and complex for mere mortals to comprehend.
- These were isolated incidents, and the behavior of these prison guards should in no way reflect upon the military superiors who endorsed and promoted such behavior. This is because atrocities are supervenient on subordinates, but not on command structures. Those with greater learning will understand.
What sort of conclusions do I mean to draw from this ongoing chronicle of badness?
Certainly not "look! here's proof that this war is brutal!" I agree that in the context of the reign of Saddam and the brutality of the invasion of Iraq, the torture and humiliation of a handful of prisoners is a footnote. Not to the prisoners themselves, of course, but the same can be said of the victims of so many other footnotes and those who will remain uncited even there.
This is a war in which Americans deliberately and rationally shot ten-year-olds (for very good reasons) and bombed residential neighborhoods (for very good reasons). Were U.S. personnel torturing and humiliating Iraqi prisoners, perhaps for very good reasons? Did we have to see pictures to know?
Rest assured, though, that appropriate reprimands and admonishments will be meted out now that official denial is no longer an option.

In the wake of last week's elections results, more than 80,000 Texans have logged on to the official White House Web site, signing a petition asking the government to allow the state of Texas to become a new country.
But, Ken Collier, a political science professor at Stephen F. Austin State University, said the process is a little more complicated.
"Secession isn't a simple thing," Collier said, "You can't just up and leave as the Confederacy learned during the Civil War."
The petition was filed by someone in Arlington Texas. Those that signed are saying they're unhappy with the federal government and want change - change they think will only come in the form of secession.
The Lone Star State is one of nearly 34 states that have filed petition to secede from the United States. A petition needs 25,000 signatures in 30 days to get attention from the government, but that doesn't mean petitioners will get what they want.
"It's not really legal reality because in fact we joined the Union under the terms everybody else did," Collier said.
According to other political experts, the annexation agreement gave Texas the right to divide into as many as five states, but it says nothing about secession.
East Texas residents seem to be split on the matter.
Collier said he believes this secession issue is driven by upset voters that are not pleased with the election turnout.
"I think you'll see this die down pretty quickly, after every election, you hear something like this," Collier said. "People want to secede, people want to move to Canada, or whatever, but in the end they step back, reflect and understand how much they love their country and how much they would give away if they moved away."

Hi! ladies
Someone has used drapery pin or pin hooks to hang curtains with rings.?
someone knows how to attach it at the back of the curtain.?
I will aprreciatte your answer.
Thanks a lot
show on dbd's link, it worked fine - you just have to decide how much ring you want to show, and figure out how low down to put your hooks...
there was just a rerun of a Sarah Richardson show where she used normal curtain hooks and rings with a hook (vs one with just the screw loop on it) to hang curtains. I'll attach pictures of parts like she used.
Also here is a site that has a diagram of another way to use the rings.
I remade some tab topped curtains into pinch pleated drapes. I intended to hang them on rings so I needed to insert the hooks. I tried several differant ways but couldn't come up with anything that worked and looked good. I ended up tacking the hooks to the back of the draperies. This isn't realy working though. One problem is that I don't have an example to look at - I have no other drapes in the house. I have searched the web with no luck. It seems that there is very little info on drapery making in general on the web.

Cardinals Horton made decision to let Jets score
Last Sunday, with the New York Jets leading the Arizona Cardinals 7-6 and driving in the late stages of the game, the Cardinals faced a decision. Having used all their timeouts, and with the Jets in possession of the ball, the only way to give the team a chance for the win would be to let New York score.
Facing a second down and three at the Cardinals' six-yard line, New York quarterback Greg McElroy handed the ball off to running back Shonn Greene, who broke through the line with very little resistance and fell down on his own at the one-yard line. The run gave the Jets a first down, and allowed them to run out the clock and win the game by one point.
Earlier this week, news broke of a spat between Cardinals defenders Kerry Rhodes and Darnell Dockett, who had a disagreement on philosophy. Dockett didn't want to let the Jets score, while Rhodes went along with the plan. The replay clearly shows on that particular play, Dockett is really the only Cardinals defender exerting any energy while the other ten were content to let Greene score and give Arizona one more chance with the ball trailing by eight.
It was all for naught as Greene sacrificed a boost in statistics to completely snuff out any hope the Cardinals had left.
Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton, nearly a week later, shed some light on the debate Friday following practice.
"It was my decision," Horton said when asked about his beliefs in letting an opponent score. "The ultimate goal is to win the game, whether you give up a safety, whether you give up a touchdown. My philosophy is whatever it takes to win a game -- so if it means doing that, I'd do it to give ourselves a chance.
"I asked (Whisenhunt) to do it, for time reasons."

Rolled Erosion Control Product (Blanket)
What is This Treatment?
Rolled Erosion Control Product (Blanket) is a composite blanket typically consisting of a core composed of coconut, coconut and straw, or excelsior, surrounded by two non-synthetic nets for shear strength.
When to Use This Treatment?
Specify the blanket type that best meets your project requirements based upon slope steepness, functional longevity and cost. Consult your geotechnical engineer for specific maximum slope gradients
Product | Functional Longevity |
Max Slope (H:V) |
Blanket (Type A) Double Net with Straw and Coir fiber (Coconut) core. |
12 Months |
2:1 - 1:1 |
Blanket (Type B) Double Net with 100% Woven Coir (Coconut) fiber core. |
12 Months |
1:1 |
Blanket (Type C) Double Net with Wood Excelsior core. |
12 Months |
1.5:1 |
Use of erosion control blanket in a stream or channel below the 100-year base flood elevation must be determined by the responsible charge Engineer. Planting or incorporation of seed proposed by the Landscape Architect in conjunction with this product will be evaluated by the responsible charge Engineer to verify hydraulic impacts of mature vegetation.
- Provides immediate protection from surface erosion.
- Helps retain soil moisture improving seed germination and vegetation establishment.
- Longevity of 12 months (not considering vegetation). See specific information for the blanket types listed below.
- Rocks and debris may lift blankets above the soil surface, allowing erosion to occur between the blanket and the soil surface.
Surface treatment only - unlikely to improve compacted, nutrient depleted, or poorly draining soils as necessary to ensure vigorous long term vegetative cover.
Technical Design Tips:
- Apply seed before placing the blanket on the slope, otherwise germination of seed may be inhibited.
- 2010 Standard Specifications (See Section 21-1.02O(4) Erosion Control Blankets and 21-1.03 Rolled Erosion Control Products)
- 2010 Revised Standard Specifications (RSS)
Consider Using With:

Traffic delays on I-495
May 23, 2011 - 02:26 pm
Traffic was backed up for several miles on I-495 southbound on the American Legion Bridge because of a crash involving a tractor trailer, truck and two vehicles.
The crash, in Fairfax County, had traffic backed up for at least three miles in Montgomery County. It occurred at about 1:45 p.m.
Virginia State Police Spokesperson Corinne Geller said one of the cars was pinned under the tractor trailer with the occupants trapped. But all injuries were minor.
By 3:45 p.m., all lanes were open but some traffic delays remained.
