Introduced in 2013 SMARTSENS is a real innovation in sensor technology for analytical sensors.
Currently are only PH and ORP sensors plus wide range of accessories available. Later this year conductivity sensors will be added.
Why is SMARTSENS so unique?
1) Direct communication via open standard: Unless other digital sensors SMARTSENS can be directly connected to a PLC using 4…20 mA norm signal plus digital communication (HART) in parallel over the same wires.
Customer benefits:
• Cost savings since no additional transmitter/ interface is needed (half the price of conventional measuring loops)
• Easy to install since two wire technology (4..20 mA) is widely established in industry, no additional power supply for transmitter needed, no space needed for transmitter
• Safer: more reliable signal transmission due to less interfaces
2) Form factor: Unless other sensors with integrated transmitter. The SMARTSENS transmitter technology is extremely miniaturized, so that it fits into a standard plug head. Same form factor than existing analog sensors.
Customer benefits:
• Fits into 90% of existing holders/process ports. No special adaption needed
• Easy replacement to existing analog sensors
3) Safety: Due to elimination of additional interfaces, the signal transmission is very reliable and less information is lost. The whole sensor is intrinsically safe, hence can be used in hazardous areas (Zone 0). SMARTSENS already gained ATEX and IEC EX approvals. FM is pending for August 2014.
Customer benefits:
• Reliable signal transmission and less information is lost
• Safe to use in hazardous areas
4) Use of open standard protocols: 4...20 mA plus HART is most common communication protocol for analytical sensors. Therefore no special equipment needed to commission and calibrate the sensor.
Customer benefits:
• Cost savings: Does not need to buy additional equipment
• Familiar installation and operation (no special training required)
• Wide range of tools available: Handheld (HART Field communicator, HART modems, Free PC programs)
5) Versatility: Wide range of high performance electrodes are available, wide range of accessories
Customer benefits:
• Fits in almost every application with excellent performance
• Customer can chose how to operate:
o HART handheld
o Via PC and USB port
o Via HART and asset management system
o With local operating unit (SMARTMAC) for half the price than a classical transmitter
Customer feedback:
Many installations worldwide with wide range of industries from water/waste water to chemical.
Customer statements:
- Cost savings (half the price for installation and longer lifetime due to offline calibration)
- Performance (high performance glasses tailored to the customer application, plus reliable signal transmission and more accurate calibration due to offline calibration under controlled conditions in lab
- Off line calibration (calibration does not need to be performed in hot environment in production area, better calibration results, longer lifetime)
- Easy to install (fits into existing holders, uses existing two wire cables)
- Space saving (no need for a place to install transmitter)

China TransInfo Technology Corp. Completes VIE Restructuring
BEIJING , Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China TransInfo Technology Corp., (Nasdaq: CTFO) ("China TransInfo" or "the Company"), a leading provider of public transportation information systems technology and comprehensive solutions in the...
BEIJING , Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China TransInfo Technology Corp., (Nasdaq: CTFO) ("China TransInfo" or "the Company"), a leading provider of public transportation information systems technology and comprehensive solutions in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced that it has completed its corporate restructuring by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with various parties to more clearly separate its business segments and centralize business management ("VIE Restructuring"). In addition, the new corporate structure will allow the Company to expand business areas within the guidelines of Chinese government regulations.
Prior to the VIE Restructuring, Beijing PKU Chinafront High Technology Co., Ltd. ("PKU"), a major PRC operating subsidiary of China TransInfo, wholly or majority owned China TransInfo's other PRC operating entities including Beijing Tian Hao Ding Xin Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhangcheng Culture and Media Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhangcheng Science and Technology Co., Ltd., and recently acquired China TranWiseway Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Yootu Information Technology Ltd.
Following the VIE Restructuring, China TransInfo Technology Group Co., Ltd. ("China TransInfo Group"), a newly formed PRC holding company, directly or indirectly holds ownership of the aforementioned operating entities, including PKU. China TransInfo Group is fully owned by four Chinese citizens who are affiliates of the Company: Shudong Xia , the Company's Chairman, CEO and President and the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company's outstanding capital stock, Zhiping Zhang , the Company's Vice President of Research and Development, Zhibin Lai , the Company's Vice President and Wei Gao , the designee of SAIF Partners III L.P., the 11% shareholder of the Company.
Under the former structure, PKU and PKU's operating PRC subsidiaries were not considered domestic Chinese entities due to their status as indirect subsidiaries of China TransInfo, PKU's US-listed parent Company. For this reason, the Company was restricted from engaging in certain business activities, including online services, taxi advertising, and security and surveillance related business in China under Chinese law. Following the VIE Restructuring, all of China TransInfo's former operating entities are now subsidiaries of China TransInfo Group, which is wholly owned by four Chinese citizens, designating the entities as domestic operations. Through a series of contractual arrangements made among relevant parties, China TransInfo will continue to maintain substantial control over these operating entities' daily operations and financial affairs. In addition, China TransInfo is entitled to consolidate the financial results of these affiliated companies in its own consolidated financial statements under FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." As a result, China TransInfo's financial statements will continue to reflect the same business activities as before the VIE Restructuring while allowing the company to grow in compliance with Chinese law.
"We are very pleased to complete our reorganization by making the VIE arrangement with China TransInfo Group, which will provide an efficient structure to continue growing our business," commented Mr. Shudong Xia , chief executive officer of China TransInfo. "The new streamlined corporate structure has more clearly defined our business segments, enabling us to more efficiently leverage our resources and develop our business in different areas."
More information on the reorganization is available in the definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2009 .
The charts below indicate the Company's organizational structure before and after the VIE Restructuring. http://www.prnasia.com/xprn/sa/attachment/2009/02/20090203-937128.jpg

Karrueche Tran: Probably Dating Chris Brown Again, Definitely Looking Hot in Bikiniby Free Britney at . Comments
Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown's on-off girlfriend, looks to be back in the "on" stage. And she's rocking a bikini in Miami, Fla., happily posing for cameras.
While Brown staged a very public reconciliation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year, it appears that Tran, 25, and Brown, 24, are now back together.
A source declared that the pair were reunited recently, saying:
"He's been straightforward and honest with Karrueche."
"For years, he thought he had to lie to females and sneak around. But a wise G told him that if he's ALWAYS honest, s--t always works out for the best and females respect that."
"Since he's been doing that, his life has been carefree."
Similarly, Chris said in an interview with JET that he manned up and has been honest with both Karrueche and Rihanna, even if it's a difficult situation.
We respect that, and think it's commendable really.
Then again, he also likened himself to Trayvon Martin and evoked images of slavery, so you can never really tell what's going on with this fellow.
Anyway, here are some bikini pics of Karrueche!
so just because he buried his fued with drake means that he will go back to rihanna? r u for real. They both realized that it was foolish of them to be fueding and ended the nonsense. what's that got to do with rihanna. hypocrisy to the fullest.
@Kt thanx very much for wat u doin for chris bt here is the thing, drake and chris burried their differences meaning that soon and very soon chris will automatically rekindle his romance with riri and where will that leave u. Think?
how can she be a side chick when chris brown is single! ijs! all the hate on this girl with no actual reason. "she went back to chris to be his doormat but its okay for him to go back to riri because they love eachother" such hipocrisy. this world and the people in it are so twisted.
can't get past that bellybutton, it looks cavernous on midget..ugh cringe..this blog is faulty on many levels: definitely exploiting chris' hard work for comeup of her own bgrade career..his Mgt should step in and delimit this consistent exploitation.. for various reasons midget angers the public, she'll never be liked, and this just adds to the bad press chris is already receiving..enough already
She'll be forever known as Chris Breezy's side chick. Sad. Pathetic.

Google erects tech specs tech specs, APIs hit the decks
Google's much-hyped Project Glass spectacles are inching closer to launch and the Chocolate Factory has released an application programming interface (API) guide and management software for the headgear. The first techno-specs, dubbed Google Glass Explorer Edition, are already rolling off the production line, the firm said in an …
Starting to be excited about this ...
although not in a boys toys way.
Mrs JP has MS, and it's knackered her vision (optic neuritis) making it hard to see at a distance. It's not a lens issue, so specs don't help. If these gadgets can be used to project a TV picture so it's viewable as if it were a foot from the eye as opposed to the 6-8 feet in real space, it could be a godsend.
So bring it on.
Re: Starting to be excited about this ...
I work with a bunch of eye doctors, so I wonder how long it will be before one of them gets a set of these for "research".
It would probably be more useful to people with certain conditions, such as macular degeneration or maybe glaucoma, where they have some good, but patchy vision. People with dense cataracts, cloudy corneas, etc might have a hard time with Glass, though I'm guessing.
Re: Starting to be excited about this ...
I'm certainly interested.
a "25-inch high" screen seen from eight feet away.
For me it would depend on the text size. I guess they're talking about a 30" widescreen telly equivalent. I couldn't read subtitles on that from 8 feet away. So I'd be OK for icons, arrows, status lights, or very large text that covers most of the screen. Otherwise I'd be stuffed.
But then, for context, I use 5x magnification to read normal 8-12pt type. So a relatively bad case.
You could make something up with a nicer camera, or at least one with a zoom lens, and a slightly bigger display that could be excellent for me. SatNav display where I can also magnify road signs and train departure boards. I can read these if I stand close enough, but in cities they tend to be placed 20ft up in the air, so the only way to get close enough would be to carry a ladder.
Still once the tech is mainstream, it then becomes much cheaper to make up modified versions. So I have hope for shiny things to come.
More interested in the business angle
There must be opportunities for a smart entrepreneur to sell some pointless gimmicky use-cases to those who insist on having iPad apps developed for no reason.
I think I'll wait for the HD display.
Re: 640x360?
HD in one eye? What's the point?
Re: 640x360?
Though it would not be that surprising for such a particular display, I wonder where this 640x360 is coming from? I can't see it anywhere on the web site…
EDIT: Actually, it is in the User Interface Guidelines.
Re: 640x360?
I thought that, for a virtual 25" screen that's 14.4 ppi or about 2mm wide pixels. Space invaders will be awesome though.
Re: 640x360?
Think you might have done your maths wrong there - you might want to double check.
And remember that this is a pixel at an apparent distance of 8 feet, so even if your 2mm was right it wouldn't look too bad.
Re: 640x360?
Just wanted to add that there is actually a handy calculator over here: http://isthisretina.com/
By its calculation that display would be equivalent to a 'retina' display at 9 to 10 feet, so nearly there.
Re: 640x360?
The screen is virtually 25" high according to the article. 360/25=14.4 pixels per inch. 1/14 inch is around 2mm therefore the screen will appear to have pixels of 2mm in size. Not sure how my maths is wrong as there aren't all that many sums involved here.
Re: 640x360?
Ah yes, sorry I read the actual Google info, rather than the Reg's fudge. It is a '25" High Definition screen', not a '25" High screen', so in usual terms the 25" should be considered the diagonal.
Re: 640x360?
Ah now you're making sense. I thought it was a silly claim to be making in order to sell a product "biggest pixels ever, buy now!"
Re: 640x360?
A 25-inch diagonal on a 16:9 is 12.25 inches high, which for being 8 feet away, isn't very large. Anyway at that resolution, the virtual pixels are about 0.9 mm.
Devil's eye
still think they're not legal.
Re: I solemnly promise
but when it's called an iGlass, I'm sure you'll be onboard ;)
Re: I solemnly promise
I solemnly promise...to never understand why so many people who appear to hate the march of technological progress read The Register. Shouldn't you be too busy ploughing fields with a hand held furrow or something?
When I have the spare cash I'll buy a pair. Not because I want them (which I do), nor because they represent an interesting development in technology (which they do). No, I'll do it because you won't. Promise.
Re: I solemnly promise
You're being a bit fast and loose with the word "progress" there. All this is is a bunch of hardware placed in a form factor that will sell to nerds. Nobody seems to have written software, thought of use-cases or even explained why it's better than a head mounted camera. They will probably sell a few to geeks but until it offers a real advantage, the normal people will stay away. This is why most normal people think Apple invented smartphones - they were the ones who thought about the uses, they put maps in and made them easy to use. Others failed before them because they just put a load of tech in a box and let people write their own software.
Re: I solemnly promise
" ... ploughing fields with a hand held furrow or something?"
Close, but no harvest for you.
Re: I solemnly promise
Remember, all you need to do is say slowly, loudly and clearly, "Safe Search Off. Search horse-porn."
To steal a silly idea for a Microsoftie.
Re: I solemnly promise
I have to wonder if objections will arise on the grounds of security (is a Glass user walking around filming stuff that would make the locals feel edgy?) or just social graces (Is this guy filming me while we are eating lunch together, or taking in a general bar scene?).
And unfortunately, at least a few pervs out there will start using these to surreptitously film their inamoratas.....
Will Google be asked to put some kind of glowing red "on air" light on these so you can see when someone is filming or taking pics?
Re: I solemnly promise
Isn't the law in Japan that all phones have to make a loud 'shutter noise', to alert women of upskirt photos? I've no idea if they have a similar warning noise for video though.
Sounds a bit expensive
If I wanted to become a creepy person that no one wanted to talk to, I can think of cheaper ways of going about it than buying these glasses. Since that's the effect they'll confer on the wearer.
Re: Sounds a bit expensive
$1500 was the pre-pre-release figure for the especially eager user.
My biggest concern is that you have to have an android device to make any use of it; Which will bump the cost up for me, as I don't currently have one!
Re: Sounds a bit expensive
Let me fix that:
"$1500 was the pre-pre-release figure for the especially
eager usersad git."
Re: Sounds a bit expensive
I'm waiting for the carved-from-gold-block, diamond encrusted ones. You know it will happen.
Alternatively, if someone could make some imitation 'Glass', then I could wear them so that people leave me alone. If anyone does start to bother or bore me, I could adopt a startled look and say, "Korea just launched a nuclear missile; I'm going home and suggest you do too."
Re: Sounds a bit expensive
..such as becoming "Obviously!", perhaps?
I can't help but get a little bit excited about these, purely for gaming. Sure the HUD option is the next logic step to headset and mic, and could offer some really interesting possibilities.
Not sure I'd want to use them out of the house. Pretty easy target for the tea leaves I'd imagine
Nice headline.
Reading through the "getting started" guide, it does sound like a fun device...
Can I call dibs on the use of "Glass Actions" to describe the people suing Google when they start walking into lamp posts while reading their tweets?
Re: Nice headline.
Loved the headline! Not quite as concise as "Sticks nix hick pix", but how often do you see an 80-year-old cultural allusion?
The thing I find funny is the number of people who say it will make people look creepy - and yet - people wearing bluetooth handsfree thingies who often look like they are muttering away to themselves walking down the street have largely been accepted nowadays. Prediction - Glass users will become accepted - it's not like we are going to have a choice - not when Google aren't the only company developing said technology and especially not when Apple inevitably realise they are missing a new market and jump on board.
And if I already wear normal glasses?
I wear regular glasses, and don't particularly care for contact lenses. Will these high tech specs be compatible with my "dumb glasses" that I wear everyday? Will I be able to get them with prescription lenses, or perhaps something that can attach to a normal pair of glasses? I can't be alone in the potential market for such a device, as glasses wearing seems to be quite prominent in the geekery community.
Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
Bear in mind this is just the first version, for early adopters and developers. i.e. what about people that can't use their right eye?
I expect later there will be more versions, smaller, that could then potentially either hold prescription lenses, or be clip on.
Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
You do know this isn't actually a pair of glasses right? It is just a display that sits in your field of view.
Of course there will be issues about using it in conjunction with other headgear, but hopefully there will be options that address this when it goes mass-market.
Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
IIRC Google said something about the non-"HUD" part being capabel of accepting prescription glasses instead of the window glass in the base model
Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
you can write an app that takes a video feed from where you are looking at, and put it right in front of your eyes (hummm, your eye), so you don't need prescription lenses anymore.
Re: And if I already wear normal glasses?
That's not much good if you need prescription lenses in order to be able to see the HUD though.
Play store: This item cannot be installed in your device's country!
I hope no one in the UK bought these glasses, as Google seem to have restricted access to the UK, and presumably other countries!
Presumably US users only then :-(
... you may not use the APIs for any activities ...
"Except as specifically licensed by Google, you may not use the APIs for any activities ..."
Errr, didn't Google recently win a minor court case (*subject to appeals) in the USA where the plaintiff (Oracle) was claiming that APIs are copyrightable.
If APIs are not copyrightable, as the court found, then on what basis can Google license use of an API?
See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/31/no_copyright_java_api/
Re: ... you may not use the APIs for any activities ...
No relation. The first case is about copying an API and re-implementing it. The other is about using an API available to developers to interact with a device.
Friendly warning...
The difference in focal point depth between the normal eye and the info on the glass in the other eye will make some of you puke your guts out. Caveat emptor.
Re: Friendly warning...
There's no way your average human will be able to focus on something 1 inch from their eye (try it!).
So I suspect the HUD will do some lensy blurry magic (*) so that the image appears to be somewhat further back. Maybe not 8ft though...
(*) technical term, used by those of us who have no real idea about the optics.
Re: Friendly warning...
I always wondered why some people reacted that way to rapidly decreasing or increasing their eye's focal point.
Re: Friendly warning...
Human eyesight is stereoscopic. The brain has evolved to take input from 2 eyes on on focal point and turn it in to brain electrickery. When this mechanism is fiddled with, the brain continues to try and make sense of it but fails miserably.
It's one of the reasons trainee pilots flying the Apache get very sickly indeed. Some of them never get used to it and have to drop out of the training programme.
Might be useful ...
Can I overlay an image of Kylie when I'm "entertaining" the missus?
Re: Might be useful ...
Only if she can have a pair that overlay an image of Jason over you...

Sojourner Truth was the self-given name, from 1843 onward, of Isabella Baumfree, an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist.
Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. Her best-known extemporaneous speech on gender inequalities, Ain't I a Woman?, was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. During the Civil War, Truth helped recruit black troops for the Union Army. Her grandson, James Caldwell, enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Truth tried unsuccessfully to secure land grants from the federal government for former slaves, she notably met with Presidents Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant

You name it, this tractor can do it. I have been very please with this tractor. I will go back to a Massey for my next tractor. Next time I will get a bigger one.
Strengths LOVE THE EASE OF USE AND OVERALL ABILITY OF THE TRACTOR. HANDLES ALL OF THE IMPLEMENTS THAT I OWN WITHOUT PROBLEM. HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS YET
Weaknesses DOESN'T HAVE A SUNSHADE (OR RAINSHADE HERE IN OREGON) BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO PURCHASE ONE FOR IT.
Overall COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THE TRACTOR AND THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM HAS GREAT PEOPLE, I TAKE THE TRACTOR THERE TO GET SERVICE AND HAVE NO COMPLAINTS.

Official SPX 2012 Scavenger hunt - find Mike King!
Possibly receive rad comics?
Hey, Internet! Long time, no blog.
I've spent the last month working on a 24-page comic for an upcoming anthology with friends, but I can't show you that yet. I can show you the cover art I did for my friend Mike King's mini/webcomic: Everything Sucks.
Issue three is currently half-way complete, running on the site and Mike's Tumblr. I'm not sure how you can get your hands on one of these bad boys, but I've heard a rumor that Mike will be around at SPX next month. So, keep your eyes open!

Android Now No. 1 Smartphone OS, Survey Says
New stats from The Nielsen Company show that Android, the mobile device software made by Google, has ascended to the top U.S. spot in the smartphone consumer market.
For November 2010 through January 2011, Nielsen has Android with 29 percent of the subscriber market, compared with 27 percent each for its chief competitors Research in Motion (BlackBerry) and Apple (iPhone ).
Android has been climbing steadily in recent years, and in the second half of last year, Nielsen ranked it as the hottest selling smartphone software . Canalys, another analyst firm, said that Android had edged out longtime worldwide leader Symbian (Nokia's smartphone software) in January 2010.
It should be noted, however, that the Android platform – unlike Research in Motion and Apple's software – is used across a number of handsets made by HTC, Motorola, Samsung and others.
So in terms of smartphone operating system by manufacturer, Research in Motion and Apple are actually tied at the top of the heap with those 27 percent figures; the next-best handset maker is HTC with 12 percent of its smartphones using Android and seven percent running Windows Phone 7, Microsoft's smartphone operating system.
At any rate, the future is looking bright for Android. Nielsen is also reporting that of the big three, Android is attracting a bit more of the younger crowd (see below), though the figures are fairly uniform across the board.

On this date, June 28, in 1990, police in St. Charles, Missouri, raided the estate of rock and roll legend Charles Edward "Chuck" Berry. A spokesman for the raiding party said they were looking for cocaine but admitted there was no trace of the drug.
United Press International (UPI) reported the seizure of hashish, marijuana, weapons, and $122,000 in cash. The raid was the result of information from an informant who told officers where cocaine might be found once they gained entrance to Berry's home. Berry told authorities he never used cocaine or alcohol. [source]

This a resource that students can use as data and then practice the methods of representing data.
This excellent resource was kindly contributed by my colleague Natasha - Level 5 additional Diploma in teaching mathematics. It aims to teach handling data e.g. mean, mode, median and range in an inter More…esting classroom activity to classify and categorise personal profiles e.g. age, hair colour, type of property etc.. and students use the info to draw their bar charts to represent given data. Thanks Natasha -excellent resource!
Please provide a rating.
Love this resource! Sent it round my department and got a display of pupils' on the wall by the end of the day. Suitable for all abilities going quite far 'down'. I have one suggestion for improvement, however: add another profile and then you can draw a pie chart for hair colour with 24 degrees per person, rather than 360/14 which is awkward? Many thanks,
Thanks for sharing - am looking forwarad to using these
Saved me a lot of time, thanks.
Would be improved by some high earning female characters...

Snowfall irks Kashmir's roadblocked residents
Residents of Jammu and Kashmir's Shpian District are demanding a permanent solution to the problem of frequent road blocks caused by snowfall.
They claim the snowfall has prevented them from stocking up on essential commodities and caused business losses, besides jammed connectivity on the Mughal Road, which links Poonch and Rajouri districts with Srinagar.
The sarpanch of a village in Shopian district, Abdullah Khan, said: "The closure of the road for the past two months is causing us a lot of trouble. It has disrupted transportation and our business has come to a standstill."
The Mughal Road was reconstructed in the 1950s in Kashmir with an idea of improving the economy of the Poonch and Rajouri districts. The road eased transportation for the traders from these areas by cutting short the distance to Srinagar from 588 kilometers to 126 kilometers.
A local,Sikandar, said:"When the Mughal Road was opened for us, it had brought hope to the people of Kashmir. They had welcomed the decision of opening the road. But, unfortunately this road is open only for six months in a year. Be it the bureaucrats, the politicians or the common people, everybody has demanded that the road should remain permanently open."
Similar conditions of jammed roads were seen in other parts of Kashmir as well, where people have to walk for miles to get the main highway for reaching to their work places.
In higher altitudes, the temperature has even dropped to sub-zero level, with some provinces witnessing lowest minimum temperature.
Located in the tropics, most of India witnessed very hot summers and largely temperate winters.

At least 3 dead in mudslide
After hearing voices pleading for help, rescuers searched overnight for survivors from a massive mudslide in Washington state that killed at least three people and forced evacuations because of fears of severe flooding.
The slide of mud, trees and rocks happened about 11 a.m. Saturday. Several people - including an infant - were critically injured and at least six houses were destroyed.
Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said at a news briefing late Saturday that searchers weren't giving up on finding more people alive.
"We have people who are yelling for our help, and we are going to take extreme risks," Hots said.
It wasn't clear how many people might still be trapped - or if more bodies might be discovered.
"This is still a rescue mission until we determine otherwise," Hots said. "We don't have a firm idea of how many people are out there."
Shari Ireton, spokesperson for the Snohomish County Sheriff's office, said rescuers were using thermal imaging cameras to help try to find people.
The slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which prompted an evacuation notice because water was rising rapidly behind the debris. Authorities worried about severe downstream flooding if water suddenly broke through the blockage.
The landslide also completely covered State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles (90 kilometres) north of Seattle. It was at least 135 feet (41 metres) wide and 180 feet (55 metres) deep, Snohomish County authorities said.
The Snohomish County sheriff's office reported that two people had been killed at the scene. Authorities later said one of the people who was rescued died at a hospital.
The injured included a 6-month-old boy, who was in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said two other victims were in critical condition — an 81-year-old man and a 37-year-old man — while a 58-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were in serious condition.
Five of the injured were brought to Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, and one has already been treated and released, said hospital spokeswoman Jennifer Egger. She didn't know the condition of the others.
The American Red Cross set up at the hospital, and evacuation shelters were set up at a nearby school and elsewhere.
One eyewitness told the Daily Herald that he was driving on the roadway and had to quickly brake to avoid the mudslide.
"I just saw the darkness coming across the road. Everything was gone in three seconds," Paulo Falcao told the newspaper.
Search-and-rescue help came from around the region, plus the Washington State Patrol and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Hots said crews heard voices late Saturday night on the eastern edge of the debris field. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary said "we have rescuers on the ground on both sides of the slide who are going to be there all night, we're combing through the debris field on the ground trying to rescue people."
Iretonsaid the number of destroyed homes was expected to increase when crews had more time to assess the scene.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for Snohomish County through Sunday afternoon.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed a state of emergency.
Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground water saturation from recent heavy rainfall. John Pennington from the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management said the area has a history of unstable land. He said a slide also happened there in 2006.

The Kobieta Birth Skirt - Birthing Skirt - Womens Labor Skirt - Kobieta Original Design - Custom Size & Fabric - XXS thru Plus Size
The perfect way to labor and deliver in comfort and modesty!
The Kobieta Birthing Skirt was developed to accommodate all variety of positions used to labor and birth.
It is perfect for home, water births, birthing center or hospital and helps the laboring mama retain modesty while being completely comfortable (unlike those horrid hospital gowns that I personally found to feel like they are choking you and tangle up with every move).
My design uses a drawstring to adjust to the perfect position on your hips.....underneath the belly for anyone needing hospital monitoring. The drawstring is threaded through professionally attached metal eyelets to keep everything secure and of the highest quality.
The sides are completely layered over each other but split all the way to the waist and slide apart easily so that positions like birthing balls, squatting or birthing stools are able to be used. When the time for pushing comes, the flaps are easily flipped up out of the way. No need to remove the skirt.
Paired with a sports bra or tank, you can use a birthing skirt to enjoy full mobility and comfort in a time you need it most! No pinching, no binding, just buttery soft, natural fiber jersey against your sensitive skin and with the design made to be worn under the belly...nothing against the midsection at all. Pictures 5 & 6 illustrate the skirt in use at a home birth, hospital birth as well as a home water birth.
A note a happy customer sent said:
"I cannot say enough good things about the Kobieta Birth Skirt! I paired it with a nursing tank and I was so comfortable, MUCH better than a hospital gown. All the nurses and drs were impressed with it too."
I also recently had a customer let me in on a fabulous idea. After your delivery...hang on to this and use as a cute swimsuit skirt! Works fabulously at the beach, pool or lake to cover up the bottom and hips and because of my design it adjusts easily to post postpartum sizing!
This item will be made to customer requested color(s) in bamboo or beechtree jersey with lycra.(Blend of 96/4)
Please select color from choices in last picture and input choice at checkout.
The skirt will be made to customer measurements for a fantastic and comfortable fit! As you complete the checkout process you will be asked to input hip and length you would like. So for now, to select a skirt choose the "general size" you normally wear from the drop down box above and then give detailed sizing as you checkout. Please see last picture for how to measure for the skirt...these 2 numbers will give me a guide to proper length average you need.
Please allow 1-2 weeks for completion of this item FROM THE DATE I RECEIVE SIZING, so please submit hip measurement and due date at checkout when asked!
USA....I recommend ordering no later than 3-4 weeks prior to due date if possible. Overnight shipping available, please contact me for ordering information.
Canada.....I recommend ordering no later than 4-5 weeks prior to due date if possible. Express 3-5 day shipping available, please contact me for ordering information.
All other International buyers.. I HIGHLY recommend ordering no later than 6-8 weeks prior to due date. If you would like to inquire regarding the pricing for Express Shipping in a Flat Rate Envelope, which is estimated to arrive within 6-10 days from being mailed, please contact me.
I am willing to offer the expedited shipping for all buyers. For my part of this, I guarantee it will be shipped in a timely manner which should arrive to you before needed. Normally, there is no problem at all and the postal services perform as promised BUT I cannot, however, offer any 'guarantees' on actual arrival date. I do not control the postal services, unfortunately......or they would be much more efficient ;)
**DOULAS, MIDWIVES, OBSTETRICIANS, & BIRTH COACH TEACHERS....Please contact me for free full color informational material to show your patients and clients. I offer prenatal group discounts for orders of 8 or more skirts at a time. Thanks ******

Daily Journey - Aug. 12
August 12
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock [Song 5:5].
The background for this was a lovely custom that they had in that day. When a man was in love with a girl and wanted to express his love, he would go to her home and instead of leaving a calling card, he would leave a fragrance. The door was so constructed as to leave an opening so that one could reach through to the inside and remove the bar unless it was locked as well as barred—which was the case on this occasion. When there was no response from the sleeping bride, the bridegroom placed myrrh on the inside handle of the door to let her know that he had been there. Then she finally came to open the door, the wonderful fragrance was transferred to her fingers. He had left the sweetness of his presence.
The bride is a picture of the church today. The church doesn't go very far from home. Very few get out from under the shadow of the church steeple. Most folk don't even get off the church steps. As a result, they have lost fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Actually, that is one of those little foxes which destroy the grapes. We lose our fellowship when we step out of the will of God. That is what it means to quench the Spirit (see 1 Thess. 5:19). It is quenching the Spirit to refuse to go where He wants us to go or to do what He wants us to do.
I think that if we today would get up off our beds, begin to move out and start doing something for God, we would find the sweetness of His presence on the handle of our own bed chamber. We would experience the sweetness of His fellowship.

In response to the request from students for the appointment of an EOP Director, I asked Jose Luis Vargas to serve as Interim Director of EOP and appointed Jorge Garcia and William Watkins as co-chairs of a committee to search for a permanent EOP Director. With the concurrence of these university officers, the Task Force has requested that the search for a permanent director be delayed until decisions about the structure of the program have been made. I have concurred with that recommendation.
Similarly, I have concurred with the Task Force's recommendation that their report be received on March 1, as originally proposed, rather than by the end of the term so that they would have the opportunity to consult appropriately with all members of the community.
I again encouraged anyone who has information or opinions to share with the committee to contact Provost Kennedy or Faculty President Owens. And I thank the committee for the care and thoughtfulness they have expressed in these initial recommendations.
The workshops were representative of the finest traditions of a university and were attended by individuals who understand that ignorance breeds intolerance. I'd like to thank and commend Jody Myers and her colleagues for providing that opportunity for learning and personal development.
We don't know who appended the offensive statements to the flyer, but we do know that he or she is a coward whose views are contemptuous of the values of this community. This incident is another reminder that we must always speak out against this kind of behavior so that there can be no mistake that hatred and bigotry will not be suffered in silence at this university.
The workshop was facilitated by MIG consultants who will also be working with us on our Strategic Plan. Summaries of the discussions and recommendations from the workshop will be distributed throughout the campus shortly.
Dr. Ronald Kopita is leading the effort to confer with the Associated Students, the athletic department, student athletes and the executive officers to outline alternative policy options for our programs. Recommendations, intended for broad campus discussion, should be developed shortly so that decisions can be reached by the end of the calendar year.
It is clear that the proposal for a $49 per semester increase in student fees was unable to gain the support of the majority of students who voted. It will be important in the weeks ahead for us to hear from members of the community about their views on this issue. We will be seeking advice from the Faculty Senate and other appropriate committees regarding the following question: Under what conditions should Cal State Northridge continue/discontinue its intercollegiate athletic program? You may write to me or Ron Kopita directly or by using the following e-mail address:
I hope to hear from students, faculty and staff on this important and difficult decision.
Please vote on November 8th.

The 5 Polish Shades You Need This Summer: Mani Monday
As much as we love nail art, we're better at admiring designs than coming up with them ourselves. That's why we've enlisted Anna Norman, the smarty pants behind Glitter, She Wrote, to be a regular contributor. Every Monday, she'll be sharing her latest lacquer inspiration—you won't be satisfied with plain ol' polish again.
There's no time like summer for nail polish. Now that it's June, it's time to root through your polish collection (or pick up a few new favorites) to embrace the colors of the season. These are my top five picks to take you from June until Labor Day.
Pool Blue (thumb): Dark blues just don't feel summer-y, and pale shades can be hard to pull off on most skin tones. This mid-tone blue is bright, cheerful, and totally wearable all summer long. Try OPI Can't Find My Czechbook or Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics in Pool Boy.
Pastels (pointer finger): Pastel polish doesn't have to be boring. In fact, it's one of the top trends this summer. Try a classic pastel from RGB or kick it up a notch with this speckled pick from Deborah Lippmann.
Chrome (middle finger): Chrome polish is like jewelry for your nails. It's sleek, stylish, and goes with everything. Make sure to add a glossy top coat to bring your nails to a glass-like finish. I'm wearing Color Club On The Rocks.
Tangerine (ring finger): While classic red nails are a "do" for any season, this super-saturated orange is a great alternative as the weather heats up. Orange is universally flattering and works on the beach and in the office. Try OPI My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours or Deborah Lippmann Lara's Theme.
Holographic (pinky finger): If you don't own a holographic nail polish yet, add it to the top of your to-do list! Holographics are best on bright sunny days when they can catch the light, sending a rainbow of colors across your nails. I'll be wearing the new Halo Hues collection from Color Club all summer.
What's are your top five polishes for summer?
Need more mani-spiration? Check out the rest of Anna's column: Mani Monday.

A host of battles are set to erupt for starting positions across the Oakland Raiders roster. Which names will emerge on top?
Quarterback: Matt Schaub vs. Derek Carr
For a team trying to get back to the playoffs for the first time in over ten years, it typically requires an experienced quarterback. That is why the Oakland Raiders traded for Matt Schaub. They feel his recent struggles in Houston were a blip on the radar and the two-time Pro Bowler can rebound to help them win. He should get the starting nod over rookie Derek Carr to start the season. Beyond that depends on his play.
Left Guard: Khalif Barnes vs. Gabe Jackson
Of all the units on offense for Oakland that has moving pieces, it is the offensive line. Every position can be up for grabs but the one that should feature the most intriguing battle will take place at left guard. There veteran Khalif Barnes will do battle with rookie 3rd round pick Gabe Jackson. Barnes of course has the advantage of experience and by all accounts is a great locker room leader. Jackson is raw in some areas but the massive Mississippi State product is a punishing run blocker and nimble on his feet. Barnes will need to show a physical presence if he wants to hold the kid off. Don't expect that to happen.
Tight End: David Ausberry vs. Mychal Rivera
At some point the Oakland Raiders, like any other reasonable team, will lose their patience waiting for a player to develop. They are reaching that boiling point with tight end David Ausberry. The young man is an intriguing physical specimen who presents all kinds of matchup problems in coverage. The problem for him is he either can't stay healthy or can't utilize his obvious talent. In the meantime reserve Mychal Rivera showed he can be more productive. Ausberry will likely get one more crack at the starting job, but Rivera will not go away easily.
Cornerback: D.J. Hayden vs. Carlos Rogers
It has been a painful transition to the NFL for cornerback D.J. Hayden. After suffering a life-threatening incident in college, he has battled injuring since joining the Oakland Raiders last season as their 1st round pick. At present he might not see the field until training camp, leaving doubts in many minds as to whether he will be a starter, especially after the team went out and signed veteran Carlos Rogers. While not the Pro Bowler he was, Rogers knows the business of playing consistent, something Hayden has not proven yet. Until that happens, and he's healthy, expect Rogers to claim the starting job.
