Beginning from a height of 13,500 feet, thrill-seekers feel the ever-quickening pull of gravity for 60 seconds before a harnessed instructor deploys the parachute. Afterward, the tandem duo floats safely back to the ground while enjoying birds' eye views of the Philadelphia and Atlantic City skylines. This is a typical experience at Freefall Adventures, an organization that's been providing tandem jumps and skydiving lessons for more than 25 years. The team also works with professional videographers who can be hired to document the entire experience, including a pre-jump interview on the ground, the entire free fall, and the post-landing nap.
Skydive Maryland's team of experienced sky surfers has been escorting adrenaline seekers on 2-mile jumps since 1974. After a brief training session and couture-jump-suit fitting, adventurers fly to roughly 11,000 feet, where they barrel roll from the plane while strapped to a seasoned instructor. Exhilarating, 120-miles-per-hour free falls last for roughly one minute before the guides activate the parachute and jumpers coast through the atmosphere for 8–15 minutes, soaking in views of the Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Baltimore skyline. Cloud cutters will receive before and after photos of their adventure to have proof of their extreme bravery and to earn respect from egotistical eagles. Skydives are available Saturdays and Sundays during the winter season, weather permitting.
For a company that has pushed more than 1.5 million people out of planes during the course of 38 years, Skydive Baltimore enjoys a top-notch reputation among adrenaline-seeking sky travelers. Tandem skydivers pair off with their trusty instructor before ascending to 11,000 feet, taking in views of Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay as they discover what gravity feels like 2 miles above the ground. Divers can commemorate their jumps with video and photographic evidence captured by their instructor, a third jumper, or a borrowed spy satellite.
Skydive trips allows both beginner and seasoned divers a comprehensive and safe way to engage in free falls. Tandem dives allow first-timers to experience the thrill of a jump without special training or prior knowledge of species of stomach butterflies, and training programs ready aficionados for solo falls. A staff with decades of combined experience ensures a safe diving experience with bona fide instruction and equipment. The facilities include both indoor and outdoor observation areas for friends and family, as well as a picnic area jumpers often put to use after they've completed their adventure.
Sportations connects amateur adrenaline jockeys to certified professional adventurers, drawing from a nationwide network of aeronauts and speed demons to introduce habitual pedestrians to the wonders of skydiving, ballooning, hang gliding, and stock-car racing. Thrill seekers can zipline across a forest canopy, hollering like Tarzan or taunting nearby birds until they agree to race. Helicopter tours ferry patrons skyward over landmarks and cityscapes, whereas paragliding adventures get up close and personal with blue skies and clouds. For most sports, Sportations accommodates groups of any size, from physics classes empirically proving gravity's existence to solo ballooning supervillains declaring dominion over all they see.
Going against convention, the staff of Skydive Collegeville prioritize first-time jumpers over established divers. That's because their main focus is giving novices the best possible introduction to the sport, providing a laid-back atmosphere free from pressure or intimidation. During introductory lessons, their male and female certified tandem instructors walk clients through the basics of their jump on land before taking to the sky. Once they're harnessed into their parachute, the student and teacher duo both leap out of a plane for an exhilarating tandem free-fall, achieving speeds of up to 120 mph before leisurely drifting back to earth over suburban Collegeville. Guests can also request a record of their descent, which can be filmed with a camera on the instructor's wrist or captured by a videographer who skydives while simultaneously sitting in a director's chair.

Defense Contracting:
Progress Made in Implementing Defense Base Act Requirements, but Complete Information on Costs Is Lacking
GAO-08-772T: Published: May 15, 2008. Publicly Released: May 15, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5274
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Defense Base Act (DBA) requires U.S. government contractors and subcontractors to buy workers' compensation insurance for employees working overseas, and the cost of this insurance is then passed on to the government. The Department of Labor oversees the claims process and ensures contractors are aware of DBA insurance requirements. Given the large number of contractor personnel working in Iraq, concerns have been raised over the cost of workers' compensation insurance provided under DBA. Since the Iraq conflict began in March 2003, federal agencies have issued contracts for Iraq reconstruction and to support deployed forces. The Department of Defense (DOD) recently reported it alone has 163,591 contractor personnel working in Iraq. Based on GAO's 2005 report on DBA insurance, Congress directed DOD to address challenges identified. This testimony is based on the 2005 report and GAO's analysis of recent agency efforts. As requested, it provides an update on (1) DOD's efforts to reduce DBA insurance rates; (2) DOD's ability to calculate its total DBA insurance costs; and (3) the progress toward addressing prior DBA implementation challenges. In preparation for this testimony, GAO reviewed related reports to identify agency efforts to address prior findings and interviewed officials from DOD, State, Labor, and USAID. GAO discussed this testimony with agency officials.
While DOD has taken steps to reduce DBA insurance rates through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Army Corps) single-insurer pilot program, it has not yet implemented similar efforts departmentwide. GAO previously reported that eight DOD prime contractors paid from $10 to $21 per $100 of salary cost, a rate that was significantly higher than the rates paid by State and USAID contractors--$2 to $5 per $100 of salary cost--through the agencies' respective single-insurer programs. Since the Army Corps implemented its single-insurer program in December 2005, its insurance rates have decreased from what DOD was previously paying. For example, the Army Corps is now paying from $3.50 to $7.25 per $100 of salary cost for service and construction contracts. DOD continues to lack reliable aggregate data on the total cost of DBA insurance. Based on GAO's 2005 report, Congress directed DOD to identify methods to collect data on DBA insurance costs. While State, USAID, and Army Corps can obtain aggregate DBA cost data for their respective single-insurer programs, DOD reported that it has not collected this data departmentwide. As GAO has previously reported, agencies can analyze financial data to leverage their buying power, reduce costs, and better manage suppliers of goods and services. Labor officials told GAO they have taken steps to address several of the DBA insurance implementation challenges GAO identified in its 2005 report. For example, GAO found there was uncertainty among agency officials regarding when DBA insurance was required as well as problems in processing claims and monitoring compliance. Labor officials told GAO they have been receiving fewer questions after holding seven seminars through 2006 on DBA insurance for contractors, insurance companies, agency officials, and attorneys in order to clarify DBA insurance requirements. While Labor officials also noted improvements in processing insurance claims, they still face challenges in verifying that subcontractors in Iraq have obtained DBA insurance.

Chief of the Sun and solar-terrestrial relationship Department of Shamakhi-based Tusi Astrophysical Observatory Namig Jalilov told
that magnetic storm with high average power affected the people's health. He said that magnetic storm lasted for 6-7 hours, then calmed down and now is quite calm: "Magnetic storm started on the night of February15 to 16 and lasted till the morning. This process stopped in the morning. Solar flares hit the Earth's magnetic fields. This process didn't lead to technical failures. However, people with heart failure, high blood pressure diseases felt it."
Jalilov noted that such magnetic fluctuations occur frequently. According to him, Earth-directed solar disk has a large number of magnetic spots which lead to solar flare. Sometimes small flares also cause magnetic fluctuations: "Since the middle of last year, due to solar activity, the number of solar flares and intensity of magnetic storms are higher. This process will continue until summer this year and then will decrease slightly. From this period, solar activity will decrease from maximum to minimum. The last strong earthquake hit Baku in 2000, another happened recently. Both earthquakes occurred at the peak of solar activity and magnetic storms. Statistical indicators show that the strength of earthquakes occurring on the earth is directly related to solar activity. When solar activity is at its maximum, tides and earthquakes increase on the Earth."

Sep 8, 2013After a while I finally gave in and decided to listen to this band. Out of all four of their albums (actually 3 albums and an EP) I can safely say that overall this is their best. Courtney has a wonderful singing voice and can deliver screams very well. The instrumentals on this album are also incredible. I'd have to say that tracks 4 and 10 are my favorites.… Full Review »

College hoops season filled with surprises
This season of parity in college basketball has produced quite a few surprises, from the revolving door at the top of the polls to the rapid decline of defending national champion Kentucky.
The latest twist came this week, when Gonzaga moved up to No. 1 for the first time in school history. That was merely a mild surprise. The Zags have been the pre-eminent mid-major for what feels like a quarter century now, so it only seemed like a matter of time before they went to No. 1.
Some of the other unexpected turns have been, well, a little more unexpected. Here's a few:
Miami. The Hurricanes were ranked fifth in the ACC preseason poll and even though they returned nine players from a 20-win team, weren't expected to draw much attention in South Florida - or anywhere else for that matter. Miami had a look-at-us moment on Jan. 23 when it beat Duke by 27 - the third-largest margin of victory over a No. 1 team - and cracked the Top 25 the next week. The Hurricanes continued to build momentum, winning their first 13 conference games to rise in The Associated Press poll. Miami has struggled a bit lately, losing three of its past four - by two to Georgia Tech Wednesday night - but has already clinched a share of the ACC regular-season title and can win its first outright conference title by beating Clemson on Saturday.
Akron. Coach Keith Dambrot has given the Zips an identity in Ohio and the Mid-American Conference, but it hasn't gone much farther. That changed this season as Akron ran off 19 straight wins, shining a spotlight on a town better known for being the home of LeBron James. The Zips had their winning streak - the longest in the nation at the time - end with a loss to Buffalo last Saturday, but bounced back to beat Miami (Ohio) Tuesday night and wrap up their second consecutive Mid-American Conference regular-season title. With a good mix of size, strength and experience, Akron (24-5, 14-1) has the kind of team that could damage a few brackets once the NCAA tournament rolls around, but could be without starting point guard Alex Abreu, who was suspended indefinitely after being arrested on drug charges.
Oregon. The Ducks played in the NIT last season and entered this season with nine newcomers, including seven freshmen, so it was no surprise they were picked to finish seventh in the Pac-12. Behind guard E.J. Singler and one of the most balanced teams anywhere, Oregon opened 11-2 in nonconference, then knocked off Pac-12 favorites Arizona and UCLA to rise in the polls. The Ducks (23-7, 12-5) lost 76-53 at Colorado on Thursday night, but can wrap up at least a share of their first league crown since 2002 - along with the No. 1 seed for the Pac-12 tournament - with a win at Utah on Saturday.
Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders appeared to be a lock for the NCAA tournament last season before losses in the regular-season finale and quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference tournament relegated them to the NIT. They may be closer to a sure thing this season. Led by six seniors, Middle Tennessee set a school record with 27 wins, second nationally to No. 1 Gonzaga, and has an RPI of 25 after playing the nation's ninth-toughest schedule. The Blue Raiders went 19-1 in the Sun Belt and have won 16 straight headed into Saturday's conference tournament, their last before heading to Conference USA next season. Barring a meltdown in the conference tournament, Middle Tennessee (27-4) should be headed to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1989.
Saint Louis. The Billikens ended a 12-year NCAA tournament drought last year, but were rocked by the death of former coach Rick Majerus. The 64-year-old coach took a leave of absence in August and died of a heart attack in December, a month after the school said he would not return. That left the team reeling and in the hands of interim coach Jim Crews. Behind a stifling defense, Saint Louis has done just fine under Crews, going 4-1 against ranked teams, with wins over Virginia Commonwealth and New Mexico, and two over Butler. The 16th-ranked Billikens (23-6) had their 11-game winning streak ended by Xavier on Wednesday night, but can still clinch a piece of the Atlantic 10 crown - their first league title since 1970-71 in the Missouri Valley - by beating LaSalle on Saturday.
Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs were barely .500 last season, finished fifth in the WAC and lost key players, so there was no reason to think an NCAA berth would be coming. Louisiana Tech opened the season with a loss to Texas A&M and opened December with losses to Northwestern State and McNeese State in a span of three games. Once the WAC season started, though, the Bulldogs became unstoppable. Heading into Thursday's regular-season finale against New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech has won 18 straight for the nation's longest winning streak. The Bulldogs (26-3) are undefeated in conference (16-0) and have clinched at least a share of their first conference title since the Sun Belt in 1999. Not bad for their second season under coach Michael White.

George North boost for Wales
ESPN Staff
January 5, 2013
Scarlets winger George North faces a race to be fit for Wales' Six Nations opener next month © Getty Images
Wales winger George North has been cleared of serious injury having been stretchered off during the Scarlets' RaboDirect PRO12 defeat to Ulster on Friday night.
The 20-year-old was sidelined in the second half of his side's 47-15 drubbing at Ravenhill following a heavy blow to his head. It was immediately feared that he would miss Wales' opening Six Nations clash with Ireland at the Millennium Stadium on February 2 and while his fitness for the Cardiff clash remains uncertain, the Scarlets have revealed the injury is not as bad as first thought.
"The Scarlets would like to express their gratitude for the concern raised by supporters and colleagues in the rugby world regarding George North following the neck injury he sustained against Ulster on Friday evening at Ravenhill," the Scarlets said in a statement.
"The Scarlets winger was taken to hospital after the incident where as a precaution his neck was both x-rayed and scanned. The results from the two scans showed that there was no significant or serious damage to his neck.
"He will be assessed further by the Scarlets medical team on Monday. It is too early to assess the full extent of the injury or indeed the recovery period at this stage."
Wales are battling a worrying injury list that includes fly-half Rhys Priestland who has already been ruled out of the Six Nations with a torn Achilles that also looks likely to sideline him for the for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia in the summer.
Also causing an injury headache for caretaker Wales coach Rob Howley, who will take charge of the side as Warren Gatland concentrates on his Lions duties, are props Craig Mitchell and Aaron Jarvis, hookers Huw Bennett and Ken Owens, locks Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Evans and Luke Charteris and flanker Dan Lydiate.

A man's call led police to arrest a 16-year-old Milwaukee boy who allegedly was selling boxes containing watches, batteries and coins as iPhones.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The man met up with the boy at McDonald's, 12324 W. North Ave., at 6 p.m. Jan. 13, thinking he was going to buy an iPhone for $220.
The boy asked to see the cash before letting the man open the box. The man passed over the money, and the boy dropped the box and ran out the store.
The man opened the box and much to his dismay, AAA batteries sat in place of his would-be iPhone.
He gave police the boy's cellphone number, physical description and information about the exchange. He described the boy as 6 feet tall, skinny, and having dreadlocks.
Officers went to McDonald's on Jan. 17 to collect video surveillance footage of the incident and noticed a 6-foot-tall skinny boy with long dreadlocks and two iPhone boxes.
They asked the boy what he was doing, to which he replied selling iPhones via Craigslist. The boy said the buyer wasn't interested because he wanted to see what was in the boxes before handing any cash over.
Officers looked in the boxes and found AAA batteries, coins and wrist watches. They arrested him on the spot.

The Daily Numbers for Tuesday, Nov. 17 (Eagles Edition)
The Daily Numbers: 53-20 demolition of the Eagles by the Packers at Lambeau Field. It wasn't that close. 17-0 at end of 1st quarter.30-6 at halftime.22 of 36 for packers QB Aaron Rodgers.26 of 44 for 346 yards for Eagles QB Mark Sanchez.2 interceptions also tossed by Sanchez, 1 of which was returned for a TD.23 carries for 88 yards for LeSean McCoy.2 carries for Darren Sproles. 75 yard punt return for TD by Packers Micah Hyde.0-3 mark for the Eagles this year in 4 o'clock games.4 straight wins at Lambeau by more than 21 points for the Pack.288 straight passes at home with an interception, Tom Brady's record that was broken by Rodgers yesterday. The streak now sits at 322.9 catches for Jeremy Maclin.10 catches for Rndall Cobb to lead the Pack.27 yard TD for Jordy Nelson, 1 of his 4 catches for 109 yards.2nd start for Sanchez, who looked more like the Jets version.6 turnovers for Sanchez in his 2 games as an Eagle.28 degree temperature at kickoff for the game, with snow flurries. And a cold slap in the face for Eagles.138.1 passer rating for Rodgers in 5 games at Lambeau this year.22 TD passes surrendered by Eagles defense so far this year. Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.It was a statement game, just not the one the Eagles probably had in mind. I Don't Get It: The only shot the Eagles had was to try to control the clock with their running game, keeping Rodgers off the field. Didn't happen. Today's Upper: Kudos to Rodgers. Right now he's the best in the business. Quote Box: "None of us played where we needed to play against this team."- Coach Chip Kelly
Eagles exposed in Lambeau
I mentioned in my Saturday blog, which I refer to during the football season as 'The Dreaded Saturday Eagles Pick' that the Eagles were looking at a statement game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sunday. They made a statement, alright. Just not the one I think they envisioned.I did not expect the Eagles to win. In fact, I picked the Packers. But I did expect the Eagles to be competitive. They were not.Not at any point in a 53-20 demolition on the "frozen tundra" were the Eagles in the game.Kicker Cody Parkey lost his balance on the opening kickoff. It went downhill from there.The Eagles had no answer for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers attack. This one was over early. It was 17-0 at the end of the 1st quarter and 3-6 at halftime.You might remember that last year when the Eagles visited Lambeau, Rodgers was on the sideline as the Eagles escaped with a win.They were not nearly as lucky Sunday. Rodgers picked the Eagles defense apart. They got zero pressure on him and Rodgers methodically carved up the Birds.Rodgers went 22 of 36 for 341 yards before giving way to his backup. He could have been lifted at halftime. The final was 53-20, and it wasn't that close.Of offense, the Eagles never got anything going, and Mark Sanchez reverted to the turnover machine he developed a reputation for with the Jets. Of course, he was under siege most of the afternoon, including taking a couple of vicious helmet-to-helmet shots that for some reason did not draw a penalty.The Eagles had one shot to win this game. They needed to control the game with their rushing attack, keeping Rodgers and the Packers off the field. It didn't happen. The results were predictable. The loss drops the Eagles to 7-3, still tied with the Dallas Cowboys atop the NFC East. Dallas did not play yesterday, and the first of their two dates looms on Thanksgiving Day.In the meantime, the Eagles will lick their wounds and prepare for the Titans, who come to the Linc Sunday at 1.But the more troubling aspect of yesterday's debacle is this: This was more than just one loss. It leaves you with a question of just how good this Eagles team is, and how they stack up against the other potential playoff teams.The ugly answer is this. They're just not that good.Especially on defense. If they can't get pressure on a good quarterback, this team's secondary will be exposed, just as they were yesterday.After yesterday's shellacking, it's entirely possible this team might not make the playoffs.And realistically, even if they do, how far can they go.The answer is not very far.They went to Lambeau Field and faced the best quarterback playing in the league right now.It was not pretty.It's probably not the last time they will be overmatched this year.
Pope Francis is coming to Philly
These people take this 24-hour news cycle pretty seriously. I awoke at the ungodly hour I get up each morning expecting to be besieged by manic Eagles fans lamenting the Birds' dismal showing in Green Bay.That will be addressed in another blog item.As usual, the news had other ideas.Just as I was making the coffee, I heard the familiar "alert" that accompanies breaking news on KYW Newsradio. While it had been widely reported and expected for months, it was now official.Pope Francis formally announced that will be coming to Philadelphia in September next year for the World Meeting on Families. He is expected to offer an outdoor Mass at Logan Square on the Ben Franklin Parkway.The last time that happened, when Pope John Paul II visted in October 1979, more than a million people gathered to see and hear the pontiff.This time that number is expected to balloon to maybe two million people.You can read all the details here.And click here for information on the World Meeting of Families. Delaware County has a big connection to the papal visit. Donna Farrell, of Springfield, who used to head communications for the archdiocese, is heading the committee charged with the massive undertaking of planning the conference and the pope's visit here to the City of Brotherly Love. We'll talk to her later today. Make sure you check back to DelcoTimes.com for updates.

What to Replace AC 3.5 qt Sauce Pan with
Hi everyone,
I have a set of All Clad D5 Cookware that I purchased from Williams Sonoma.
After putting the pieces to the test, I have discovered that I HATE the Sauce Pans.
Currently I have a 3.5 QT., 2 QT and 1.5 QT.
The one I hate to cook with the most is the 3.5 QT is way too heavy to lift with one hand - for example to move contents into a strainer.
I am looking for a replacement that is lighter and easier to handle.
So far I was considering a Chef's Pan/Saucier - Le Creuset seems to have a good one.
I mainly use this type of pot for cooking Frozen Vegetable, Pasta, etc.
Appreciate any help!
I, too, was considering the LC pan. If you get it, let me know how it works.
You might try the 3.5 qt saucier from American Kitchen. Made in the USA by...Regalware? I think.
re: E_M
Oh. I thought that had gone away. Is it really lighter than AC stainless?
Here's the website for American Kitchen: https://www.regalware.com/alt/S/RRETA...
What about a lighter, more heat-responsive version of that 3.5 qt saucepan with a helper handle? All-Clad's MasterChef2 is two layers of aluminum lined with stainless: http://www.cookwarenmore.com/display....
I have an All Clad original SS 3.5 quart, and an All Clad D5 4 quart with helper handle. The helper handle makes ALL the difference in the world. (I also prefer the pouring lip on the D5).
Any new AC pieces that I buy will be D5, and I will get it with helper handle if it is available on the size. It is worth the extra money to get the pieces with helper handles.
re: eliz553
The D5 3.5 that I have does have a helper handle; however it is way too heavy to hold with one hand and every time I have cooked with it that is what I had to do. Holding the large hand in one hand and the spoon in the other to push the contents into a bowl; way too heavy!
re: raplum
I looked up the relative weights of the 3-qt. AC, LC, and AK saucepans on amazon. All I could find were the shipping weights. The LC weighs 5 pounds, the other two, 4 pounds.
re: raplum
Hi, raplum:
If a 5-lb pan is too heavy, IMO you only have three reasonable choices: (1) a good straight-gauge aluminum pan; (2) the cheapest, thinnest steel or aluminum pan you can find; or (3) a boiling insert to use in a heavier pan.
re: cutipie721
Agree with cutiepie - what about the All Clad SS soup pot. It's called a soup pot but it's really just a 4 qt sauce pan with two loop handles.
re: rasputina
I have an AC SS 4 qt soup pot - it is actually the first AC piece I purchased - I love it!
I have also since purchased on sale at WS - the d5 2 qt Saucier/Chef's Pan - love that one too - very easy to maneuver!
re: raplum
I have the soup pot also and I HATE it! Ha! I don't like the dimensions--it's too tall for me to easily see into. I have the old SS version.
Take a look at the cuisinart Chefs Classic SS. My brother in law has one of the sets fm Macys and I must say, that the sauce pans are speed demons for heating up. Nice and light too.

Free Webinars - STEAM Programming
Thank you to the Library of Virginia for sharing information on the following opportunities!!
Using STEM in Preschool Programs
Taking the science fair out of the auditorium and into cyberspace - FREE Student Competition
As I was trolling the web for all things STEAM, I came across a competition I had not seen before. As I read more about the challenge, I discovered how it fit so well with our Make it at the Library project's mission and philosphy. This is what the website says about the challenge:

New rumors point to a Panasonic Lumix LX8 compact camera that will directly compete with the Sony RX100 line.
The LX8 will serve as a replacement for the popular Panasonic LX7 and will feature a larger sensor akin to the 1-inch class sensors found in Sony's compact…

That is an image of the current model, the LX7, and if Panasonic gives it a larger Sensor/Lens, and adds a Viewfinder in the body, it may not even resemble the LX7, it won't be nearly as compact as it is now, and the price will double, at the very least. The LX7 is a fine camera, just the way it is, and it has the fastest lens in it's class. If they intend to compete with the RX100, my guess is that the camera will also resemble the RX100

What's your hurry? The LX7 (and the FZ200) have proved themselves for almost two years. I think having a camera with a good track record, is more important than having the newest model. Right?
I'm sure they will try to get some of Sony's customers, and it probably won't take three models to get it right either, (the Rx100 and Rx100 II, both have variable apertures of f1.8-4.9 The RX100 III has f1.8-2.8)
So if Sony gets there by their second edition, there's still plenty of "Wait & See" time. Also, having some competition will be good for both brand's prices (Good for us!).
In the meantime, maybe the LX7's prices will come down too. So far we've heard about the compact model, but they must have something ready to replace the FZ200 also. I doubt that it will stay in the current line up over two years. If I remember right, they both came out in July of 2012 maybe even on the same day. They've still got like 45 days of rumors to listen to…. They must be so amused! JP
