ODU's Hans-Peter Plag Among Diverse Speakers at TEDx Hampton Roads
Hans-Peter Plag, a world-renowned researcher in the areas of climate change and sea level rise, took the stage at TEDx Hampton Roads and agreed with an earlier speaker about the need to have fun. Plag, professor of oceanography and director of Old Dominion University's Mitigation and Adaptation Research Institute (MARI), said his challenge is having fun while "scaring the heck out of people," about the potentially devastating effects to coastal areas from rising sea levels. Because of rising temperatures in the past 100 years, "our children will have to live in a new planet that is completely unlike anything mankind has ever seen. That is a very difficult task we are leaving to them," Plag said. In his remarks during the TEDx Hampton Roads event at ODU's Ted Constant Convocation Center Friday, June 20, Plag demonstrated in concrete terms the dramatic changes to the earth's climate that are occurring, with forecasts for sea levels to rise as much as 15 feet in the next 300 years. MARI is designed to be a think tank to develop and support coastal resiliency strategies. Plag told the TEDx Hampton Roads audience that Old Dominion University's research expertise, plus the geography of the region, make it a perfect forum to figure out the best way to mitigate the potential damage. "We are all learning to adapt to a transient coast. Hampton Roads is a national laboratory for climate change and sea level rise, and could be for the entire world," Plag said. In fact, at the recent TechSurge conference hosted by Old Dominion University June 5-6, government, military, industry and academic leaders agreed to join forces to create a comprehensive local response to increased flooding from rising sea levels and climate change that can serve as a template for coastal planners around the nation. Plag concluded his remarks by noting that the Earth's interests frequently take a back seat to economic interests when, in fact, it should be the opposite. "What is good for life's support system is always good for us, and for our children," he said. TEDx Hampton Roads was sponsored by Dominion Enterprises and Old Dominion University. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. TED events, which have been held around the country, bring leaders in those respective subject areas together to discuss ideas that are, collectively, shaping our future. In addition to Plag, TEDx Hampton Roads speakers included naval innovator Ben Kohlmann, chef Chris Hill and Lynne Seagle, executive director of the Hope-House Foundation. Zach Miller, managing director of Hatch, a small business incubator in downtown Norfolk, started his TEDx address with an analogy about microbrewing. Miller said there has been a boom in microbrewing in Hampton Roads, which has not only brought out brewer entrepreneurs, but also provided a relaxed space for the next generation of aspiring business owners to talk about their ideas, while enjoying a great beverage. Miller said informal conversations like these, when added up, can lead to real economic growth. "We're not looking for four 1,000-employee companies in Hampton Roads, we're looking for 1,000 four-employee ones," he said. Miller is working with leaders of ODU's entrepreneurial initiative, co-hosting the business start-up competition "Start Norfolk," and incubating the business ideas of several current and former ODU students at Hatch. He said that education plays an important role in the growth of an entrepreneurial culture, but not just in a classroom-instruction sense. "Education is important, but not just for the learning you are taught in the classroom. It's exposure to ideas, the ability to try things, to innovate - learning your talents that you can use to contribute to the world," he said. ( More )

ODU Hosting Conference for National Pilot Project on Sea Level Rise
A first-of-its-kind conference on the resiliency of coastal areas to the threats of climate change will bring an expected 250 planners from all levels of government and industry to Old Dominion University on June 3-4. The meeting is designed to launch a comprehensive local response to increased flooding that could be a model for the rest of the nation. "TechSurge - Technical Support for Coastal Resiliency" will be presented by the Marine Technology Society and ODU at the Ted Constant Convention Center. Impetus for the meeting, which is expected to result in a pilot project seeking mitigation/adaptability solutions to climate change, comes from stakeholders ranging from the White House and the Navy to Norfolk city government and Newport News Shipbuilding. "Our university has for the past four years had a very active Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative (CCSLRI) engaging more than 100 of our faculty and student researchers," said ODU President John R. Broderick. "We are well positioned to host this TechSurge meeting, and we have high expectations for what it can accomplish." Broderick pointed out that this conference will be unique in that it will bring together every level of government, plus industry, to work toward a common coastal-resiliency regional planning format. That road map will be developed specifically for Hampton Roads, but the conference organizers intend for it to be a template for similar initiatives in other urbanized coastal regions. Conference promotional materials cite the sea level rise that is causing increased coastal flooding and add, "To adapt to this, engineers and decision makers need many types of information. This conference focuses on the technical capabilities required to produce the needed information." The conference-goers will include technical experts in observation techniques for measuring coastal flooding and coastal resiliency, as well as planners dependent upon those observations to help formulate a strategy for addressing the impacts of sea level rise. Among the prominent contingent of speakers expected are Eric Letvin of the White House National Security Staff; Cmdr. John Marburger of Navy Task Force Climate Change; Col. Paul Olsen of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Bob Fallon, director, Facilities and Waterfront Support, Newport News Shipbuilding; Russell Callender, deputy director, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Ocean Service (NOS); Rich Spinrad, vice president for research at Oregon State University and prospective chief scientist for NOAA; and Gerhard Kuska, executive director, Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System. A signature event of this conference will occur the morning of June 3 when David Architzel, the retired vice admiral who is ODU's director of military affairs, will moderate a panel comprised of representatives from each echelon of government and industry in the Hampton Roads region. It is envisioned that this panel will form the basis of Hampton Roads' efforts to support this pilot project. The panel will include Olsen and Fallon, as well as Evan Fienman, deputy secretary of natural resources for Virginia; Dwight Farmer, executive director, Hampton Roads Planning District Commission; Jim Redick, director of emergency preparedness and response, city of Norfolk. Ray Toll, a faculty member associated with ODU's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography, has led the effort to organize this broad-based TechSurge conference on the university's campus. "The White House and Pentagon have expressed interest in creating a sea level rise pilot in the Hampton Roads region," said Toll, a retired Navy captain who served as an oceanographer in the military. "This is in furtherance of the White House National Security Staff's and Council for Environmental Quality's desire to develop a 'whole of government' approach to tackling the multi-echelon preparation for sea level rise." Toll said ODU will take a lead-integrator role in a unity-of-effort approach that includes federal, state and local governments, and industry in the Hampton Roads area to collectively address sea level rise vulnerability, and measures for adaptation and mitigation. At the conference, ODU will introduce its new Mitigation and Adaptation Research Institute (MARI), which has evolved from the CCSLRI. MARI is designed to be a think tank to develop and support coastal resiliency strategies. Hans Peter Plag, a professor of oceanography who joined ODU last year and is co-director of MARI, will share the stage with Toll at the conference's opening-session to present the goals of the meeting. This TechSurge conference is an outgrowth of a two-year project, "Sea Grant Climate Adaptation 2012: Hampton Roads, Va.-Innovation and Adoption of Adaptation Best Practices," spearheaded by CCSLRI and Virginia Sea Grant. Larry Atkinson, the ODU Slover Professor of Oceanography who was the founding director of CCSLRI and is co-director of MARI, brought together regional experts in engineering, oceanography and planning to lay the groundwork for a coordinated response to increased flooding in the region. Toll, who serves as ODU's liaison with the Navy and NOAA, said the TechSurge conference launches a pilot project that he envisions as a two- or three-year effort "with the first year focused on baselining our approach and developing the regional template." He added: "The succeeding years would then focus on developing the tools and other things such as tabletop exercises and creating a document to address specific mitigation and adaptation measures. This document will identify certain cost, schedule and performance metrics for these measures." The ODU organizers believe modeling and simulation expertise of the university and its Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center will be very useful in elaborating the mitigation and adaptation measures. The template is expected to include a Hampton Roads Pilot Project Team with representatives from the various levels of government, the Navy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and industry. ( More )

text: Parking Bumper to bumper Aucklander's love affair with cars was just taking off when this map was printed in 1948. Cars were becoming cheaper, suburbs were spreading out, and more people than ever were choosing to zip to town and back on four wheels. This Automobile Association map tells drivers where they can and can't park in the central city, and for how long. There were no parking buildings and the first parking meters were still several years away. Competition for spaces outside shops and movie theatres was fierce. This maps red and green colour-coding aimed to simplify matters. But as you can see from its list of part-time restrictions, the system was maddeningly complex. Parking was banned on Karangahape Road on Friday nights, for good reason. K'Rd was one of Auckland's most popular retail strips in the 1940s and the throng of late-night shoppers, trams and trolley buses would have made street parking tricky at best.

I went at happy hour so all the beers were $3 instead of $6.
I had the place to myself, which seems like a cozy enough place even if it were to be full. Good selection of craft beers, I think they had about 10 or so on tap, and one cask. They had ommegang, victory, dogfish head, and some other good breweis. Food looked good, but I didn't get any; seems to be standard american fare, with some tex-mex foods. decent glassware selection, they had the right stuff, but wasnt correct label; the bartender was very friendly. Definitely a place to which I would go back.

After reading a few reviews of this place I made a point to stop by on my holiday trip. It was post lunch time so it was a bit slow. 16 taps and one cask. They waste a few with Stella, Guinness & Yuengling. So selection for me rates a yawn on this my first visit.
I chose a DFH 120 minute which was a mistake as an opener. The bartender was great and very friendly. He was the redeeming factor for me.
Crowd is typical east village a few New Yorkers sprinkled in with Midwest newbie hipsters.
Pricing was typical $6 drafts for most standards and 7-8 for the exotic stuff.
It's pretty far out of the way for a beer trip but if your in the neighborhood it's a good place to have a pint.

WOW!!! what an intersting little place.The barkeep is a firey ole'cat with a cool disposition, very konwledgeable about the beers on tap and in casks.Thursday was a quiet after work evening at EVT.The atmosphere is typical for the area.A lot of easy goin'dudes&dudetts at the bar.There is outside seating,great for taking in the whole east village scene (hope that wasn't too corny).The food is standard bar fare although the Buffalo wings were outstanding!!!I really like the decor, very beer orientated lot's of posters and beer signs.It gives off a real Beer-bar vibe.So i will gather the after crew for future visits to this very,very exceptional beer estabilishment.

Clean, small-ish and a bit too bright. Corner location makes for good people watching on the stools that face the windows. Great selection - things you won't easily find elsewhere in the city and nice to get lesser known IPA like Loose Cannon on cask. Servers are cheery though they didn't strike me as beer geeks. Standard bar food menu. Football on lots of TVs on Sunday, with lots of backwards baseball caps watching. Not the dark corner you'd expect of the neighborhood, but seemed more NYU-ish if I had to guess.
More about options than setting.

Just as the name leads you to believe, this bar is located in the East Village.
Atmosphere is a little more upscale compared to some other bars in this neighborhood, a lot of polished wood, pretty clean, and some neat art in the bathrooms. TVs on the wall, so you can check on the game. They also have a few tables outside as well, where I plopped myself down on a warm summer evening. The taps are all from the U.S.. When I was there they had Brother Thelonious, Green Flash West Coast IPA, Heavy Seas Red Sky, Arcadia Hop Rocket, Ipswich Oatmeal Stout, Bruery Saison De Lente and another 6 or so offerings. The food looked good for pub grub, although I did not have any. All in all, a very good bar with a focus on american craft beer taps.

I took my boyfriend to the Dogfish Dinner in November 2008 and have been a regular ever since. It's a very chill, laid-back place. Everyone is knowledgeable about beer and how to correctly serve brews - which is very important. All the correct glassware is used. The beers are kept at optimal temperatures. Their selection of beers (16 on tap) are consistently rotated. The food is good - it's heading more toward standard barfare, but it's well executed. They have Ladies' Night every Thursday which is a huge boon for me! Brewers come by to visit which just goes to show what their quality is like. It's a true American Craft Beer bar - they do have bottles of Unibroue lying around on occassion...

Imagine if your local dive bar offered a solid selection of craft brews at great prices (all beers $3 at happy hour --- before 7 pm). That's what you'll find at the East Village Tavern. Atmosphere is that of your typical neighborhood bar. Not a lot of frills, but the service is friendly and the beer selection is diverse. Brews on tap ranged from the West Coast, Rocky Mountains, to New England (and of course New York --- I had the Sixpoint Bengali Tiger on cask).
Do yourself a favor and start here for a beer or two, then for dinner head over to Back Forty (190 Ave. B., near 12th street), a great restaurant a few blocks away that has a small but well-picked selection of craft beers. It makes for a solid night in the East Village.

Made my way over on a weekend afternoon. Nice place. Good selection of taps. Things seem to be leaning towards the more easily drinkable side of things. And by that I mean no ridiculous 11% beers on tap or something ridiculously esoteric. There's a lot of beer to be had in America, and you're going to find a lot of that good stuff here. Service was flowing. Everyone seemed in a chill zone. Didn't try the food, but there is a kitchen here. Overall a nice spot. A bit of a hike from any subway lines, so be ready to cab it if you get blasted here.

The Championship, known as the Kingstone Press Championship after its title sponsor Kingstone Press Cider, is a professional rugby league competition based in the United Kingdom. It acts as the country's second-tier competition below the Super League, and has a system of promotion and relegation with the third-tier competition, Championship 1. It is organized by the Rugby Football League, the governing body for the sport in the UK. In 2014 it will be contested by fourteen teams, thirteen from England and one from Wales.
The current incarnation of second division rugby league in Europe dates to 2003, when the Northern Ford Premiership was split into National League One and National League Two. With the addition of the French team Toulouse Olympique in 2009, the names were changed to the Championship and Championship 1. The current champions are Grand Final winners Sheffield Eagles.
Second division rugby league competitions in the United Kingdom have been played at various times since 1902, and have been in place annually since 1973. In 1999 the second-tier competition below the Super League was renamed the Northern Ford Premiership (NFP) when Northern Ford Dealers acquired the naming rights.
In 2003, the NFP was completely re-organised into National Leagues One and Two. Teams that finished in the top ten of the NFP joined National League One and the bottom eight joined National League Two. They were joined by London Skolars from the Rugby League Conference who entered National League Two. York City Knights replaced the defunct York Wasps (who had folded mid-season) and also joined National League Two in 2003. At the same time, National League Three was created with teams from the Rugby League Conference and from the British Amateur Rugby League Association amateur leagues. It was intended that there would be promotion and relegation between National League Two and National League Three when League Three became more established.
At the end of the 2005 an extra team was relegated from Super League in order to accommodate French side Catalans Dragons. In turn an additional team was relegated from National League One; thus the number of teams in this division remained at ten. In 2009, with the introduction of Toulouse into the competition, the title "National League" was no longer appropriate. From the 2009 season the competition will be known as the Championship, with The Co-operative continuing their sponsorship of the competition. This addition raised the number of teams in the competition to 11.
The record crowd for a club game at this level of competition was set in 2008 at the Stobart Stadium when Widnes defeated Salford 20–18 in front of 8,189. The crowd record for regular season attendance was also broken in 2008 with an average of 2,205 spectators at each game.
After the 2009 season there is no longer an automatic promotion or relegation from Super League. New teams will be admitted on a franchise basis. Reviews of franchises will take place every three years to ensure ambitious clubs lower down the leagues can still be successful. However the licensing system has proven to be an unwelcome system by many top championship clubs. Many supporters were left shocked when Halifax were denied a place in super league for cash strapped Super League side Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. During the 2012 season Leigh Mp and Leigh Centurions honorary Vice President Andy Burnham and Fetherstone Rovers coach Daryl Powell called for a return to the old Promotion and Relegation system, describing the current system as a closed shop.
Please see 2009–2011 Super League Licences and 2012–2014 Super League Licences for further details on the licence criteria.
From 2009 through 2011, and again from 2013 on, two teams are relegated from the Championship to Championship 1. Teams in league positions 2 to 7 in Championship 1 will qualify for the playoffs, with the winner of the playoff final being promoted, along with the team positioned first after the regular season, to the Championship.
In 2012 only, there will be no relegation from the Championship. The RFL have announced that the Championship will be expanded to 14 teams beginning with the 2013 season. To accommodate this, the top four teams in the 2012 Championship 1 will be promoted, with four new clubs added to that competition for 2013.1
A play-off structure is used to determine the winners of the Championship. Two teams are relegated from the Championship (except in 2012), being replaced by the team finishing top of Championship 1 and the winner of a play-off structure involving the six teams finishing behind the league leaders in Championship 1. The Championship play-offs are a top-six format.
Points system
A special system for awarding competition points operates in The Co-operative Championship competitions.
- Win – Three points
- Draw – Two points
- Loss by 12 points or fewer – One point
This point structure has many benefits as it offers clubs a tangible reward for strong, consistent performance over 80 minutes, the system encourages teams to keep competing in games that they may not be able to win which gives clubs the opportunity to make a positive impact on their League position.
The system encourages teams to be consistent in all their matches throughout the season. This stimulates players and teams which has a positive impact on the intensity and the standards of the sport at this level.
The RFL commissioned a study prior to introducing this new system. The study examined what would happen if the new system had applied in previous National League seasons. The results showed the system did not disproportionately distort competition tables or give teams that lost matches too great a reward. Also, the system does not exacerbate the gap between strong and weak teams.
Championship Cup
A cup competition, the Championship Cup, is played for by clubs in the Championship and Championship 1; in 2005 four League Three clubs were also admitted, in 2006 five League Three were admitted. The teams are organised into regional conferences, with knock-out stages following from the group stage. In 2007 four Rugby League Conference teams were also included.
The competition is currently sponsored by Northern Rail and, with the final played at Blackpool FC's Bloomfield Road, has grown to become one of rugby league's annual marquee events.

Alex, a 19-year-old gay Wisconsin Eagle Scout and scoutmaster who didn't want his last name used to protect his privacy, was in a room full of gay advocates in Texas when the vote was announced. He said he watched the faces of gay adult leaders he knew had been kicked out of the organization to see how they reacted.
"Surprisingly, every single one of them was crying tears of joy. We all know and believe this shows — they are going to get there. They will have that equality," he said.
But others strongly criticized the message the split policy would send to gay youths."This is not progressive at all. It will continue to teach the 2.7 million youth members the same toxic message: being gay means you cannot fully participate in the Scouting experience because there is something intrinsically wrong with who you are," James Dale, whose expulsion as a scoutmaster in 1990 led to the Supreme Court case, wrote this week in The Washington Post.
Polls before the vote showed that large swaths of Scouting families, particularly in the South and the Midwest, wanted to keep the total ban. Some religious conservatives — 70 percent of the troops are chartered by a faith-based group such as a church or mosque — said they couldn't reconcile their beliefs with the resolution approved Thursday, which says the Scouts as an organization does not have a position on the subject of sexual orientation.
Rob Schwarzwalder, who is active in Northern Virginia Scouting with his twin 15-year-olds, said he opposed any change in the policy and was likely to keep his sons in for a few months to make Eagle Scout and then leave.
"I don't want my sons to leave my home [when they grow up] thinking, 'Dad was pretty principled except when it mattered,' " he said.

A resolution to delay the merger of Memphis and Shelby County schools died during a school board session Monday evening.
The thought was to avoid a scenario where this year is spent merging the districts, and next year is spent splitting them back up if municipal schools are created.
School board member Tomeka Hart wrote the resolution after bills were filed in Nashville to allow the creation of municipal schools. Hart wanted to delay the merger of the two school districts until 2014, so consolidation is complete after the creation of municipal schools.
But the resolutions did not get enough votes to even make it on the agenda, so the issue died and the merger continues on as planned.
"There were a lot of people who voted no but I know they're working to help municipal systems get formed," Hart said. "I think to the Shelby County taxpayer that sends a mixed message, spend all this money and time and resources now to build a system than pull it apart."
Hart says she will be watching the bills that would allow municipal schools, and if they pass, she will consider bring this resolution up again.
The board did get the votes to add a resolution that would direct the legal council to look into changing the name of Shelby county schools and the resolution will be discusses at the March meeting.
"We have to bring some finality to this merger, for our teachers, parents, for everyone in the community," said David Reeves. "The second thing, if we would have put this off for another year, the cost would have been exorbitant."

UA A.D. Byrne on Sean Miller: I don't ever want to work with another basketball coach
The Wildcats are 18-0 (5-0) and ranked number one in the nation, and are coming off a lopsided 91-68 win over in-state rival Arizona State.
"I've told Sean that I'm only 42, he's 45, and I don't want to work with another basketball coach the rest of my career if I can help it," Byrne told Doug and Wolf Friday morning.
Byrne wasn't the one who brought Miller to Tucson -- the credit for that belongs to Jim Livengood -- but he's certainly benefiting from the coach's presence.
Miller is in his fifth season with the Wildcats, and has guided the team to a 114-43 record along with a pair of NCAA Tournament berths. The Wildcats have gone as far as the Elite 8 under the coach, but appear to be on the way toward even greater heights this season and beyond.
Because as far as recruiting goes, Miller and the Wildcats are pretty much doing whatever they'd like.
"He's wonderful to work with, obviously from a coaching standpoint. He does great recruiting...academically, every senior that's ever played for him has graduated. He cares about every aspect of these guys and as an athletic director you couldn't want anymore," he said. "But as far as the recruiting goes, he's relentless in it. Every time that they can be on the road recruiting, they're out there.
"And we try to make sure that he has the resources to do that."
Byrne added that while the team's assistant coaches help, Miller takes an active role in trying to bring players to Tucson.
"They don't do that on their own," he said. "Sean will be there in the gyms in the summer, he'll be very visible. We'll be having practice in the late afternoon and he'll jump on a flight to get to San Diego, get to L.A., get to Las Vegas and watch a game that night and be back home that same night."
Miller's prowess on the recruiting trail has landed him prized recruits as well as praise from ASU coach Herb Sendek, who described the Wildcats' efforts as "absolutely astonishing."
But as Byrne explains it, plenty of work is required to make it happen.
"He just has a great effort about it," he said. "And when you spend five minutes with Coach Miller, you can tell how genuine he is, how real he is. He doesn't try to be somebody he's not, and I think that goes over well for so many people and the results are showing obviously."
Byrne, who has been leading the Arizona athletics department since March 2010, added that the school's fan base and infrastructure also help make it a prime destination for top recruits.
"We've done a good job as a university putting resources behind our program to continue to grow it and give us the best opportunity to succeed in the college basketball world."

Fifty years of career information:

Volume 1, number 1 of this
publication was issued in February 1957. Its purpose: to
supplement and update information in the Occupational

Outlook provided counselors with "current
information on employment trends and outlook, based
primarily on the continuous research and statistical
programs of the Bureau of Labor Statistics." (Quarterly
became part of the magazine's title beginning with
volume 2, number 3.)
Back then, the publication was a

by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), four other
U.S. Department of Labor agencies and the Veterans
Administration assisted BLS in the development of early
The following excerpts are from the debut issue. Some
topics are familiar: the need for skilled workers, an
analysis of worker traits, and the growing importance of
education. But the articles also show how much work has
changed over the past 5 decades. They describe a time when
office technology was just developing; job growth was
spurred by the manufacture of TVs, a relatively new
invention; and women's forays into scientific

Lake Erie College names Bell as college organist
With the restoration of the campus pipe organ complete, Lake Erie College has named Mark Bell, Ph.D., the official college organist.
Bell arrived on campus three years ago, amid the restoration of the newly renamed Carol Lewis Morris '67 Skinner Organ. He has studied the organ through university courses and private instruction for 15 years and eventually evolved into the position of college organist.
"It has been my lifelong dream to have access to such a fine organ and to play classical music regularly in an academic setting," said Bell. "I am thrilled to be able to live this dream."
The Skinner Organ has been put to extensive use for college events such as Convocation, Vespers, the Spring Concert, Alumni Weekend and Open Campus Days for admissions. The organ is also played during weddings, memorials, the Phillip-Osborne School graduation and other civic events.
Paul Gothard, professor of music at Lake Erie, commented on Bell's role as college organist. "The requirements of an institution to have organ played at the various and sometimes numerous functions demands a responsible, trained and available individual to provide that service. There is no one who better fits those three minimum expectations – plus much more – on this campus other than Dr. Bell."
Bell has played numerous organ recitals throughout Europe, Canada and the United States. Previous to coming to Lake Erie, he was a church organist at Cottonwood Presbyterian Church in Salt Lake City, Utah, for seven years.
"First time visitors to the College are impressed with Morley Hall and invariably want to hear the organ, and I am able to give them this opportunity," Bell said.

With Stand Up Paddleboarding, You Can Walk On Water -- Sorta
Remember when your mother told you not to stand on the furniture, but you did anyway? You wanted a different view.
With stand up paddleboarding, you get just that, only better. Standing as you paddle allows you to see more of the horizon and more of what is below than traditional kayaking. Can you concentrate? Check. Do you like mild challenges? Check. Do you like playing in the water? "Checkity" check.
You can do stand up paddleboarding. The best part is that stand up paddling isn't just fun, it does wonders for your balance, you core muscles and your disposition. But who are we kidding? It's just plain fun.

Cam Newton has said in interviews that his team needs to start winning games. The much-maligned towel, and his propensity to pout on the sideline -- both a byproduct of frustration. Newton's maturity and demeanor in-game has been the source of too much overwrought analysis and inference, but the fire got fanned yesterday because Dave Gettleman took a long pause. Yep, we're majoring in minors again.
It didn't matter that Carolina's GM said he believed in Newton, or that he gave effusive praise over his first two seasons, which he called "the best two years of any quarterback in NFL history". The talking point became his delay in answering a pointed question, this from Joe Person's article yesterday for the Charlotte Observer.
Gettleman was asked whether Newton was the quarterback to build around.
After a pregnant, seven-second pause, Gettleman said: "Yes, he is. But now it's time to win."
That pause is what's created doubt in the mind of some Panthers' fans -- making them believe the new GM doesn't have faith in the franchise QB. After all, this is the same man who arrived in Carolina and started talking about changing Cam's game by making him more of a pocket QB, while sending his scouts to work out Ryan Nassib prior to the draft.
Mistrust is to be expected in these parts, but the endless denigration of Cam Newton because of his win/loss record isn't just inane, it's stupid and lazy. Do the Panthers need to win more games? Yes, you're darn right they do -- but it's hilarious that Newton is separated from the rest of the young elite.
Cam has talked about the areas he needs to improve, and been open about his own struggles. Why then is it a controversy when his general manager shares the sentiment? Ultimately Newton is the league's lightning rod, towering over the quarterback position as the tallest stalk people are waiting to cut down.
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com knows the Panthers' organization well, and let his feelings be known.
It's interesting that the @panthers GM is calling out Cam Newton for his W/L record when the team hasn't surrounded him w/top off. talent
The @panthers are still looking for a No.2 WR to complement Smith and Olsen is the only other established option in pass game.
Lastly, J.Stewart and D.Williams are upper echelon RBs, but team rarely gives them 30-35 combine carries.
Seems everyone should pay attention to the "elephant in the room", not just the QB.
Before fans counter with Andrew Luck leading the @colts back to prominence, look at how the team drafted offensive playmakers around him..
Brooks makes some excellent points about how the offense has been mis-managed. I contest that the second receiver spot isn't as big of an issue as he makes out. It's my belief that Brandon LaFell's lack of productivity at times was a factor of Rob Chudzinski's offensive scheme, and not the third-year receiver. However, he's right on the money about the lack of playmakers put around Newton and how the running backs are misused.
When Andrew Luck was drafted the Colts also selected two tight ends, two wide receivers, a running back and an offensive guard -- six total picks used to make his life easier. Newton has been given a wide receiver who's really a kick returner, and two offensive guards -- in three years.
I don't believe Gettleman "called out" his quarterback, not by a long shot. I saw Gettleman defending his QB, saying that too much emphasis is put on the W/L record, which is true. Newton needs to be more consistent, typified by his six games last year with a low QB rating -- but Newton has been the reason the Panthers have won 13 games over two years, not the reason they've lost 19. That will remain true, long pause or not.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Before you take a bite of that cantaloupe, you might want to double check where it came from.
The Food and Drug Administration says whole cantaloupes from Burch Equipment LLC, of North Carolina tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes (L. mono). So far, the FDA has discovered contaminated fruit was shipped to New York and Maine, but there is a possibility the shipments made it to other states.
Consumers who purchased cantaloupe with a red label reading Burch Farms and referencing PLU #4319 should discard the fruit immediately.
Listeriosis, caused by L. mono, can cause fever and muscle aches, sometimes preceded by diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems. The disease primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems.
Please contact your health care provider if you feel you may have listeriosis.
So far, no illnesses have been reported that are linked to consumption of these cantaloupes.
For questions or more information on fresh fruit safety, call the FDA at 1-888-SAFEFOOD or email email@example.com.

Wet slums are slum communities that live in conjunction with the water and many occur around the world. The connection to the water also puts them at risk for climate change and rising sea levels. To aid these communities, Waterstudio.nl has been researching how they can put their know-how of floating architecture to good use. They've come up with a series of flexible, adaptable City Applications or City Apps that can aid these communities now and in the event of disaster. With little space available inside the slum, the nearby water provides open space in which to add critical infrastructure to the community.
The City Apps consist of four different types of floating infrastructure designs that can provide food, water, shelter and energy. A floating field can be used as a large community garden to grow food for consumption in the slum or produce food that can be sold in the city. Floating sewage stations can provide potable water for drinking and help process waste to improve hygiene. Floating buildings can be used for additional housing or used as schools, clinics or community centers. Finally floating photovoltaic systems generate energy for the community.
In conjunction with the design of the City Apps, Waterstudio.nl has been researching about 20 Wet Slums around the world and determining their characteristics. This fingerprinting of the slums will help leaders understand the needs of each community and more aptly be able to provide aid and support especially in the event of a disaster. Waterstudio.nl hopes to partner with more organizations to spread their research and help these communities. Their work was recently awarded the "Architecture & Sea Level Rise" Award 2012 from the Jacques Rougerie Foundation.

I am an architect from Colombia. I recently finished my master studies final project on floating villages as a solution for flooding disasters in Northern Colombia. The idea is to propose a social engagement project that can be developed by local communities and use traditional vernacular tools for new spatial needs. Here is a link to the project book:

Morgantown City Manager Terrence Moore announced his resignation Jan. 28, effective Feb. 1.
"I'm proud of a number of things we've been involved in, and I look forward to seeing that have a lasting impact as far as various financial practices and management directives we've been able to introduce," Moore said in summary of his experience.
Moore replaced long-time city manager Dan Boroff in 2010.
City Council has had a sometimes difficult relationship with Moore.
"I think that Terrence has done some good things," said Morgantown Mayor Jim Manilla when asked about Moore's tenure.
"One in particular that stands out is his communication with the neighborhood associations," Manilla said. "He went to all the neighborhood association meetings and spoke. I hope that the council, with the next city manager we hire, will keep that communication open."
Beyond that, he said only that council had issues with Moore's performance — "some things that we weren't happy about" — but that it was willing to work with Moore.
Moore was not forced out of the position, he said.
"He's a young man. He wants to move on and pursue something different, and we wish him all the best," he said.
For his own part, Moore issued a media release that did not speak of his experience in Morgantown.
In an interview, he expressed pride in his work on town-gown relations with West Virginia University. He recalled WVU's transition into the Big 12 conference as a situation under his tenure that imposed unanticipated challenges having to do with, for example, implications for air travel in and out of Morgantown Municipal Airport.
And he highlighted his role following Morgantown's June 2011 decision to ban smoking in public establishments and proprietor concern that customers would take their business outside city limits. Collaboration between the leaders of the city and Monongalia County resulted in a county-wide smoking ban that alleviated those concerns within the city.
"That was an example of a specific accomplishment or positive outcome that people seemed to support and embrace that was probably not anticipated first time around," he said.
Of his two years in Morgantown, he said, "It was a very meaningful experience, and I'll always be fond of the community."
Moore has accepted a position as city manager of College Park, Ga.
His news release said College Park has a council-manager form of government similar to Morgantown's, a city work force of about 500 and an annual operating budget of $115 million.
Before accepting the position in Morgantown, Moore was city manager for five years of Las Cruces, N.M.
Looking ahead, Manilla said Morgantown Deputy City Manager Jeff Mikorski will fill the role of city manager for now. Mikorski has a long history in city administration and was one of three finalists, with Moore, for the city manager position in 2010.
Council will focus on some budget concerns before it turns its attention to filling the position permanently, he said.

Quest Taekwondo founder Mike McKenzie likes his Yorkshire mix
5:20pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in Sport By Sports Desk
Almost 25 years since he introduced the sport to the region, 7th Dan Black Belt Mike McKenzie was back to take the first training session of the year at Quest Taekwondo's new venue of Sir Titus Salt School.
McKenzie said: "Someone asked why I'd travel 40 miles for a class. The answer is elite
athletes training with development athletes, seniors and children, who are all
improving together.
"This is what Quest Taekwondo is all about and it's exciting to be back teaching
regularly in Baildon again."
Over the years, McKenzie has enjoyed many successes, most notably as technical operations manager and then sport manager at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Last year, McKenzie was named as South Yorkshire sports coach of the year and shortlisted as UK coach of the year. He is also development officer at British Taekwondo.
The success is not limited to McKenzie, Quest athlete and 17-year-old Sir Titus Salt School student Jacob Barnett represented Great Britain in Portugal in the European Junior Taekwondo Championships last September.
He and his team-mate Harriet Akeroyd (Settle) were also awarded places on the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).
They are two of just 400 UK student athletes to win a place on this unique government-backed partnership between outstanding young athletes, educational institutes and national governing bodies of sport.
Besides being the founder of Quest Taekwondo and lead instructor, Mike is responsible for the Olympic legacy of more people participating in the sport, and is also a member of the National Black Belt Grading Panel, part of a four-man elite technical team of taekwondo masters that are responsible for promoting people to black belt and above.
Quest athletes will be competing in national and international competitions throughout 2014, and several students will be striving to make back belt this year.
Quest Taekwondo are holding classes at Sir Titus Salt School on Tuesdays and Thursdays (7pm-8.30pm), and all ages and abilities are welcome. New members should contact Mike on 07938-949923.

THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF THE UNIVERSITY [Ft. Smith _______ Club Dec. 10 1939] Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: I appreciate this opportunity to meet with you. Judge Ragon said that he didn't care what kind of speech I prepared and that I might speak it, sing it, or read it. The main thing was that you all should have an opportunity to see me and I an opportunity to meet you. Now that you have seen me, I feel that the greater part of my duty has been discharged. Many remarks have been made about my youth. I really mean no offense by it and I am confident that definite progress is being made every day to correct it. This is my first public appearance as President of the University of Arkansas. I think it is fitting and proper that it be in Ft. Smith because Ft. Smith lias always beena strong supporter of the University. You have supported our fottball team with your enthusiasm as well as your money. You have sent your children to the university and have given it your support in many ways. I assure you that your friendship is appreciated. But further than that, your support of the University indicates that your people are aware of the advantages of a strong university. You understand that in order for your city and our state to prosper our young men and women must receive the best training possible. Your support after all is simply evidence of a sound judgment and a proper sense of values. Ft. anith has long had the well deserved reputation of having the most progressive leaders in the state. Your banks, your schools and your local government, both city and county, have been models of efficiency and integrity for many years. The University has, I believe, contributed to that leadership. Your excellent mayor came to you from Fayetteville. You should be proud of him and not merely because he married my cousin. You are also fortunate in having auah a public spirited Federal Judge. Many judges, after attaining that office, feel that their days of extra legal service to the community are over,but not Judge Ragon.

The Almighty Johnsonson June 11, 2011 at 11:31 pm
I can't be the only one watching this show!
The premise is an easy one: four brothers turn out to be Norse gods, and while it seems like a sweet deal, it turns out being a God bring a whole lot of grief with it, especially when the youngest of the bunch turns out to be the reincarnation of Odin.
The story itself manages to distinguish itself nicely from the various other supernatural shows out there. The Norse pantheon is a welcome change from the various Vampires and Werewolves that have been running across the screen ever since True Blood became a hit. It's different enough to keep watching and not write it off as "just another show about supernatural beings".
The acting is solid for the most part, and while the characters do start out as insufferable twats, they grow on you as the series progresses. Although, in defense of the show, the gods of yesteryear tend to be a horribly annoying lot. I don't think anyone has ever accused the old gods of being the most kind, moral, and trustworthy of people. Taking them from mythology and putting them in human form with all the failings of mortal men, it's easy to depict them as utter and complete dicks.
The Almighty Johnsons tells a story about the fate of mankind and godkind, but at the same time, it tells a story about four brothers who aren't exactly the best of friends. It managed to entertain me, I enjoyed seeing the main characters grow and develop themselves. Some twists and turns the characters take, can be seen from miles away, but others are come as a genuine surprise. The first season ended with just the right amount of questions answered, and the right amount unanswered, to make me curious about the second season.
It might not be perfect, but it sure is a fun ride.

By JACQUES BILLEAUDAssociated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - A former Fiesta Bowl chief executive was sentenced to three years of probation on a state conviction for his acknowledged role in an illegal campaign contribution scheme.
The sentencing Thursday in county court in metro Phoenix marked the second punishment 58-year-old John Junker has received in the last week in the contribution scandal that jeopardized the bowl's NCAA license and led to the ouster of the bowl leader.
"I wish to express my apologizes to the wonderful people who have served the Fiesta Bowl as volunteers and staff. Although I worked very hard for 30 years to build an organization worthy of them, I failed terribly in this chapter. I express my sorrow to you on their behalf and also to you for the laws of our sate. I am very, very sorry," said Junker.
A week ago, he was sentenced in federal court to eight months in prison on a conspiracy conviction arising from the scandal.
In both cases, Junker has admitted being involved in a scheme in which bowl employees made illegal campaign contributions to politicians and were reimbursed by the nonprofit bowl.
Employees were reimbursed at least $46,000 for campaign contributions.

Dear Linguists
I have been examining the result of the TOEFL test to find that in the
"classified by native language" section, speakers of Konkani (a
dialect of Marathi) are always marking the highest score, which is a
big surprise to me. (I expected Dutch speakers to be the stronges
since Dutch is the closest language to English in the list.) Do you
have any idea why Konkani speakers are so strong in TOEFL?

Bottom Line

too much snipe
Payson, AZ
I am a clock maker... I find no way to adjust out what I call excessive snipe- 3" on both ends!!! Both extension tables are 0 with main table. Even have 2' more of out table-also at 0. Primary cause is distance from roller to cutter head. Any help here?? If I have time, I glue sacrifice sticks on edges for the snipe to eat, or don't run stock thru after cutting to length. After a large # of bd ft have been run thru, I have lost some footage to the fire wood pile
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me
I watched many a video, compare to other planers, and chose the Dewalt 735. I had used one in a woodcraft class and really liked it. I ordered the whole package with the stand and it works very well. The wood comes out so smooth it requires little to no sanding. The stand is a great addition and works very well. I can move the planer easily and it takes up very little space. The first board I have ever done looks better than anything I have purchased at the big box wood suppliers.
Great machine, even better with helix
Longmont CO
About Me
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
After using the as-built DW735 for a year or so I upgraded in two significant fashions. I added a digital gauge, which was quite nice in comparison with previously estimating what fraction of a crank turn I needed for that finish cut. Even better, I added a spiral segmented cutterhead. (Rhymes with "helix", but Woodcraft apparently does not want other retailers mentioned. Too bad; actually WC should make arrangements to market it.) That nearly doubled the overall cost, but the DW735 was a great platform for the spiral cutter and I'd take this route again in a heartbeat. The two great advantages are (1) the finish is just about free of any need to sand, whereas the HSS factory blades kinda get to where they are pounding the wood off rather than cutting it, and (2) the lifetime of the 40 four-sided carbide cutters is immense compared with the steel Dewalt blades. That's true whether you measure lifetime in board feet processed per blade change, or board feet per buck. The latter is even more impressive than the former.
The dust collection with a sufficiently powerful system drawing on a 4" hose is essentially dust free. I am pretty punctilious about shop cleanliness, and I don't even feel the need to reach for a broom after using the DW735. You can see it suck chips off the feed table after the board has passed through.
The machine should be used with ear protection -- same as for many other machines around the shop. The high speed universal motor is a bit of a screamer, the ultimate advantage being lots of cuts per inch and a consequent smooth surface.
I am particularly pleased with the small level of snipe resulting from the DW735's locking feed on the height adjustment.
Upshot: Buy the DW735 and change it over to a segmented helical cutterhead forthwith. Both actions will make you a happy woodsmith.

Simply Awesome
Charlotte, NC
Bought this when Woodcraft ran the sale with a router thrown in. Recently unboxed them both and used them to build storage units with my daughter. Wow! What a great machine.
Planed all 4 side of about 120 feet of poplar trim and dimensions were within 1/100" when finished as measured with a digital caliper. Very little snipe with infeed/outfeed tables. Smooth as glass finish.
Dust collection is almost perfect when hooked up to my dust collector.
It's heavy so portable is a relative term.
Can't wait to use it again. Some rough sawn oak is in the next project.
Pleased after inital runs.

Bank bailout a success?
By Opinion Staff
Think back two years.
Yes, we know, it's painful. Lehman Brothers had just collapsed. That shock brought front-and-center the fear that all the financial dominoes from Wall Street to Europe and Asia could be collapsing.
The Bush administration called together congressional leaders from both parties, who were stunned at the panic they saw in the eyes of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and others. It was sobering enough to persuade Congress to approve the $700 billion "bailout" otherwise known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
That is, Congress passed it on the second try. When the first attempt failed in the House on Sept. 29, 2008, the stock market fell 778 points.
Most leading economists say TARP was crucial to saving the economy from collapse.
The public overwhelmingly hated the "bailout" then and, if anything, hates it more now. The money was not, as had been promised, used only to take troubled assets off the books of otherwise healthy banks. Instead, the Treasury injected the money straight into financial institutions that, too often, held onto the money instead of lending it out to unlock the credit markets.
Then there were those bonuses paid by the very same financial institutions that played such a huge part in creating the crisis in the first place.
On top of all that negativity, many people see the TARP and the separate $814 stimulus program as essentially the same thing.
We think TARP could have been managed better. But for all its many faults, it could have been much worse. It won't end up costing $700 billion because many of the recipients have paid their share back or will be able to in the future – with interest.
Whatever TARP actually ends up costing will be a small price to pay for the country NOT falling into a full-fledged depression.
But what do you think? Was the Troubled Asset Relief Program successful? Take our poll.
