Cleverscope 4.692
Control the data acquisition device and view the received signal
Cleverscope is a software utility designed to capture and display the data signals on your computer, as well as control the actual device. The Control Panel window is where you can find all the available settings and parameters, as well as the main menu of the application. In addition, you can also view information about the resolution, sample rate and elapsed time.
Since there are two channels, the utility displays the captured values for both of them in the Scope Display window in graph form, using two separate colors to distinguish between the signals. The amplitude and time values are also visible, as is the frequency and the graph time derivative.
Send signal values to Excel or Matlab documents
Since the received data has to be processed and analyzed in order to obtain the desired results, it needs to be imported into various software utilities after the acquisition is complete, such as Excel or Matlab. To spare you the effort, Cleverscope is able to stream the data directly into a spreadsheet document, or quickly copy and paste the values into a Word file.
A wide range of protocols are supported for data transfer, including SPI, I2C and Uart, depending on your needs and the equipment used in the testing. Furthermore, every data display available throughout the application can be printed, in order to save the information on paper for further analysis.
Closing arguments
Cleverscope is a software utility designed for experienced users who need a way to monitor and display the data acquisition signals from their devices. It comes with a wide array of features to control and export the information to various other applications, as well as a highly customizable user interface.

The Minnesota Vikings unveiled an upgraded version of their Norseman logo on Thursday. No, the team isn't calling it a complete change per say, but rather an enhancement instead.The logo, which has been around since the team's inception in 1961, features five "subtle" new enhancements from its old version. They are as follows:1) Horn ShapeThe shape of the horns has been adjusted and the shading in the horns has changed.2) Horn BaseThe base of the horn now resembles the horn on the players' helmets.3) Face DetailThicker lines have been added to the mustache and face.4) Vikings GoldThe Vikings Gold is now brighter and less brassy.5) The BraidThe braid has been shortened, resulting in a reduced logo height.The alterations to the logo are being made in an effort to help tidy up the Vikings' image ahead of plans to move into a new stadium. The team states that merchandise with the enchanced Norseman logo could be available as soon as next month.More changes are expected to take place in the future, according to the team.We are looking forward to many exciting changes for our team and fans in the next few years, leading up to the opening of our new stadium. These logo enhancements are just the beginning...Can't wait.Via Vikings.com

As instructors, we all have moments in the classroom that embody why we teach. For me, one of these happened this past summer when giving a seminar on my research to 7th-grade students attending a two week SCHOLAR program at Yale.1
I would see these students just once and had wracked my brain to figure out how to make an aspect of infectious disease research interesting, eventually deciding to work through two of the major discoveries in my field with them. My class met in the late afternoon, at the end of a long day and right before the students would be eating dinner. They were a bit restless and a few pairs of eyes began to glaze over after ten minutes. Rather than spend more time continuing planned activities and risk seeing more unfocused gazes, I paused for a moment to talk to the students about the nature of science and discovery.
In many classrooms, milestones in biology are presented as facts that were simply uncovered by very smart individuals. None of the backstories and pains of discovery are mentioned, but it's important for students to know that scientists are not born, but made. After a very brief exchange on the fact that science itself is actually very hard, but entirely worth the challenge, the students' body language relaxed, facial expressions became more open, and (most excitingly!) levels of engagement increased. The students began working through major questions in my field and sharing ideas with each other. I even had a few students approach me at the end of the seminar to ask if they could do a research internship at Yale!
What was it about this quick discussion that made the students feel more open to participating? How could I capture that moment and replicate it multiple times during a semester? - I wouldn't have the lexicon to discuss what I had a brief glimpse of in my classroom until a few months later while taking a MOOC entitled, "An Introduction to Evidence-Based Undergraduate STEM Teaching," offered through Coursera .2. One strength of the MOOC was its focus on the affective domain and its influence in the classroom. Of all the content used to cover this, I found that the idea of being cognizant of the mindsets of students and how this impacts their learning resonated with me the most. The discussion not only prompted self-reflection on times when I was a student, but also reminded me of my experience with the7th-grade students this summer. I was so intrigued by this initial discussion that I decided to go back to the source of mindsets and read Dr. Carol Dweck's fantastic book, "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success".3.
Although I am still learning much about mindset myself, I've broken down what I gleaned from the book into two key takeaway points. The first will focus on what mindset is and how it affects learning. Secondly, I want to touch on how our interactions with students affect mindset and offer a few suggestions for supporting growth mindset in students.
What are the mindsets? How do they impact learning?
After extensive research on self-conceptions and motivations, Dr. Dweck and colleagues found that most individuals fall into one of two mindsets. One, the fixed mindset, occurs when people have a view that certain aspects of their personality, intelligence, athletic ability, etc are set and cannot be changed. At the other end of the spectrum is the aptly named growth mindset. People who have a growth mindset embrace the notion that they can push the boundaries of their abilities by working hard.
The mindsets affect all aspects of how people perceive themselves, but the rest of this discussion will be focused on the self-perception of intelligence. (I refer you again to Carol Dweck's phenomenal book3 if you are interested in learning more about mindset.)
Pupils with a fixed mindset feel that their intelligence is constant regardless of how hard they work. One manifestation of the fixed mindset is found in students who believe that they are "stupid" and refuse to try in class because nothing can change that. On the other hand, as instructors we might encounter students who have always performed well but have only had to put in minimal effort with coursework. These students believe that they are just inherently smart and when they are suddenly confronted with an academic challenge, such as beginning college, a crisis of self-perception may occur as they worry that they are not as smart as they believed. Ironically, these students often won't put effort into their courses because if they don't try they can blame their lack of success on the fact that they didn't put in effort. After all, if you believe there is nothing you can do to increase your intelligence and you don't understand a question right away is there any point in trying only to fail? This mindset prevents students from reaching their full potential by restricting them to the boundaries that their self-perception has created and making them afraid to try as failure is a reflection of who they are.
On the other hand, students who enter a classroom with a growth mindset will have a deep-seated belief that if they work hard, they can increase their knowledge. With this conviction, comes an appreciation of hard work and an idea that failure is not a bad outcome because the worst case scenario is not trying at all. These students are motivated by a challenge because when something is hard it only means they will learn that much more once they succeed. When students have this mindset, they are able to reach their full potential and will gain much more from their classes than peers with a fixed mindset.
When discussing my excitement about mindsets with a friend, she, being a good skeptical academic, questioned whether any instructor actually supports the idea of a fixed mindset. After all, isn't there a paradigm that hard work can lead to success and haven't we heard this time and again when we were students? Unfortunately, even after having taught for only a few semesters, it is apparent that many students have a fixed mindset about their intelligence. What is fostering this self-perception in students and what can educators do to help promote growth mindset in students?
How can we as instructors support the growth mindset in the classroom?
Instructors may stress the importance of hard work, but when we think about education and how we classify students' intelligence levels, it's clear that we begin pigeon-holing them from the very beginning. Test scores when children are very young determine whether or not they can move to the gifted-and-talented class, placing a label on those "gifted" and those who are not. IQ scores, GPA, PSAT and SAT scores, and AP and IB results are all numbers that students use to classify their intelligence levels. If we think back to our own high school and college days, the kids considered to be the smartest had maximum achievement with minimal effort. After all, when was the last time that you were praised for the process you worked through to solve a problem or the amount of effort you put into a task?
We are all so fixated on the end result that many times we praise students for the product, ensuring that their focus is on that number or letter grade. When that end product is so important, students believe it reflects their intelligence. They may even be driven to measures as desperate as cheating or lying about scores to ensure others don't perceive them as less intelligent. All of the subtle messages students might obtain from teachers, parents, peers, and society at large about grades and test scores being a direct reflection of intelligence drives the formation of a fixed mindset. What are some ways that this can be ameliorated?
First, we as instructors must be conscious of how we speak to our students about their performances in the classroom. When students perform well, this should be acknowledged, but we should praise them not for doing well quickly or with a lack of effort, we should focus instead on the effort they put into their work. By praising the process the student worked through to get to the end product, you encourage the student to put in that extra energy again. In the same vein, we need to be honest with students when their performance is lacking either in effort or in reaching the correct answer. The fixed mindset does not accept constructive criticism well, but the growth mindset accepts this criticism as a tool for growth.
Students need to become accustomed to hearing the truth, in a helpful way, and not being constantly praised. Constant praise, which is something many parents and instructors may be guilty of, feeds the fixed mindset. If a student is already wonderful and is told this all the time, why bother changing? Instructors can help correct this stream of constant praise by ensuring that they are honest with students about their performance. This constructive criticism can help create a classroom environment where failure is an accepted process of learning. When students are no longer terrified that failure means they are stupid but just a part of becoming more intelligent, what reason do they have not to try?
Finally, make sure to model the growth mindset for students in how you talk about yourself and other professionals. Discuss any challenges that you had pursuing your chosen field and think about how you overcame them to succeed. Introduce students to personal skill sets that they will need to develop to be successful in certain disciplines rather than just focusing on what content or techniques they need to know. One example of a focus on discipline-specific personal development can be found in the pedagogical use of rubrics delineating STEM skill sets.4. The instructors in this example generated a rubric focused on specific traits students would need to develop to be successful in their courses, like perseverance with a difficult question and self-compassion. Periodically, students would be asked to evaluate where on the rubric they fell and think about or ask for concrete things they could do to build up these skills.
To conclude, I'll refer back to the moment in my classroom with which I began my blog post. By having a conversation that good scientists are made and not born, I hope that some of the students realized that if they continued to strive at their studies, they could become proficient in whichever career path they would someday choose. This one instance was not enough to shape the growing psyche of students or change any fixed mindset opinions, but it was a start.
To continue this conversation, what are some ways that you have incorporated growth mindset (consciously or subconsciously) into your classroom? Have you ever run into the challenge of trying to "reset" the mindset of a student who believed their intelligence was a fixed trait?

MONDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Exercising for 40 minutes three times a week shows similar efficacy for preventing migraines as topiramate, or relaxation, according to a study published in the October issue of Cephalalgia.
Emma Varkey, Ph.D., from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, and colleagues compared the efficacy of exercise relative to relaxation according to a recorded program and topiramate in migraine prevention. A total of 91 patients were randomized to receive 40 minutes of exercise three times a week under the supervision of a physical therapist, relaxation exercises, or topiramate for three months. Participants were evaluated before, during, and after their treatment for migraine status, quality of life, aerobic capacity, and level of physical activity. Primary efficacy was measured as the mean decrease of the frequency of migraine attacks during the final month of therapy, compared to baseline.
The investigators found that all three groups showed a mean reduction in the primary efficacy (exercise group, 0.93; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.31 to 1.54; relaxation group, 0.83; 95 percent CI, 0.22 to 1.45; topiramate group, 0.97; 95 percent CI, 1.36 to 1.58). The preventive effect on migraine did not differ significantly between the three groups.
"In conclusion, exercise was found to be equal to the well-documented methods of relaxation and topiramate with regard to the reduction of migraine frequency," the authors write. "This non-pharmacological approach may therefore be an option for the prophylactic treatment of migraine in patients who do not benefit from or do not want daily medication."

How much longer will man hold 5-year-old boy hostage in underground bunker?
The little boy who was taken hostage from a school bus in Alabama is spending his fifth day in the underground bunker built by his captor, Jimmy Lee Dykes, and it doesn't look like he's going to be freed any time soon. It's believed that Dykes, a retired truck driver and Vietnam veteran who's been described as a "survivalist," has supplies to last him at least a month in the bunker he has wired with explosives. Authorities have revealed very little regarding this nightmare situation, but they have said Dykes is taking care of the child.
I'm sure that's reassuring news for the parents, but not knowing when this horrendous ordeal will be over must be agonizing, which is why, according to those who've visited with them, they're "hanging on by a thread."
The most worrisome part about all this is that the little boy has Asperger's and ADHD, which according to experts, could make things even more difficult for him to understand. Thankfully, Dykes has allowed for his medication to be delivered via a plastic tube connecting the bunker to the outside world.

As a mom, I can't help but wonder what's going through the little boy's head. I don't care how "considerate" Dykes is being with him, I'm sure the kid is scared to death and all he wants is to be back home with his parents.
Although it hasn't been confirmed, there have been allegations that Dykes has offered to swap the boy for a reporter who'd be willing to tell his story about how the "government screwed him." I can think of many reporters who'd love that opportunity, but I doubt the police will go for something like that. At this point, we can only hope that the hostage negotiators are able to convince Dykes to free the boy unharmed. Let's pray that this is how this nightmare situation is resolved.

Now one of the world's leading lingerie brands, La Perla offers a diverse collection of sexy underwear for women and men as well as luxe swimwear, nightwear, and fragrances. From the top-selling La Dolce Syl strapless bra in silk chiffon and Belle de Jour bodysuit to simple, straightforward cotton men's T-shirts and boxer briefs, each garment features meticulous construction and comes in colors ranging from neutral nude and basic black to bolder hues such as burnt orange, turquoise, and tomato red.

Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
The difference between funding campground and boat ramps vs. paleontological positions is that the former are capital expenses and the latter are operating expenses. I would expect that funding for capital and operating comes out of two different pots of money for the Park Service, and so aren't really in competition with each other.
Meanwhile, more information on the Alternative Transportation in Parks & Public Lands Program can be found here:
The Voyageurs project isn't listed in the second link, so I'm thinking that the second link represents last year's list of projects and that the full list of this year's projects has not yet been listed.

Kurt and Kelly have great points and information, it helps fill in some of the gaps in the story. I said "detest" in an earlier post about the local attitude towards Voyageurs. The reason being that VNP is still a rather new park, and locals have a very long memory. Many people in this neck of the woods are skeptical of the government in general, and the Feds especially. The staff at Voyageurs has done a lot to change this attitude, but it is persistent. It's not uncommon to hear griping about how the NPS took "their" fishing lake, and how "all them tourists" are ruining it for the locals. Like I said, long memories....
Ken Burns' National Parks Documentary: Where Does it Stand?

Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
Voyageurs National Park is a beautiful, wild park where you can travel the historic water trails used by Native Americans and fur trappers. It's also a place where you can hear wolves howl, see bald eagles soar, and catch walleye with your kids. In the Midwest, where so many of our natural landscapes have been plowed under or chopped down to feed and house the rest of the nation, this is a precious thing.
Voyageurs National Park is 218,000 acres, much of it interconnected waterways. It only has about 10 miles of roads and 60 miles of land trails. That means in order to fully experience its serene beauty and superb wildlife, you need to get into a boat.
That works fine for those who own personal boats, especially those who live nearby. But imagine the average American family on vacation, traveling to their national Park, pulling up to the visitor center in their car and being told they need a boat. While they could rent a motorboat from a local business, they would either have to navigate the Park's waters themselves or hire a guide to drive the boat for them. Renting sea kayaks is also an option for those who have the skills needed to paddle large waters dotted with 500 granite and pine islands.
All of this means that the average American family needs help to enjoy their national park. Over the years, Voyageurs National Park has had trouble getting that help to them because (a) it's in "flyover country" and (b) it's 40% water, which means it has management needs that are difficult for many decision makers to understand unless they've spent significant time there themselves—which is unlikely, given (a).
The tour boat that's being discussed is indeed being financed through the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands progam, which helps protect natural resources by getting visitors into public transportation and out of private vehicles. It was the highest funding priority for the Midwest region of the National Park Service (for this program) in at least one recent year, but only now has received funding.
The tour boat will serve a function similar to bus and shuttle service in Yosemite or Glacier National Park. It will provide public access via public transportation to a large, wild national park, in a region of the country whose people have few of them.
Two private concessionaires operated good-sized tour boats in Voyageurs National Park in the past, but one closed and the other relocated to another area. The high season is very short, making it difficult to turn a profit.
For those of us who love Voyageurs National Park, it's painful to see so much criticism of this greatly needed and much sought-after project. Two questions: Should the public only have good access to their national parks if they can provide their own private vehicles or a private concessionaire is in operation? Should public transportation be provided only in the best-known, most glamorous national parks?

Groups Sue Park Service Over ORV Use in Big Cypress National Preserve
I have a few things to say one is that i know many OVRer and 98% of them care more about a trail then most vistor because that is there backyard i have seen it from south florida to the northwest. I have lived all over the US and they are in every state and are great people and most adhear to the treadlightly plan. I have seen so called vistor come to the everglade and dump more trash in two to four hours then most off-roader do in a weekend. The other is that in the above writting MR.Matthew Schwartz say " Superintendent Gustin is out of line and is violating a previous park service decision. She should fulfill her duties as steward of an irreplaceable piece of public land and change course immediately. But it was her decision to close said lands and isn't her job to work with all the poeple in the area and its her decision to reopen the the trails. This is something i don't get when the National Park Service shut down an area of land they are doing a great job and has your surrport but when they do something that you think is wrong like reopening land they are in "violation" but thats what my tax dollar are for to pay her to make that decision. He also says there are only 2000 permit holders but this is from lack of knowing the trails are there. I know many people in south florida that would get said permit and use land and its trails. Another thing is that alot of those 30 miles of "trails" are gravel or dirt road something else he leave out. I know because not only have i lived in south florida along time but it is also where i was born, i have been there many time my self riding a bike or walking and i belive that ORVer sould also be welcome.
Thank you
Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
The tour boat will be designed with the latest "green" technology, according to Rep. Oberstar, who says it will be "equipped with highly efficient engines that operate on bio-diesel fuel."
Any word where the NPS will get that bio-diesel fuel? There's been a lot of talk lately how bio-fuels are not so "green" and actually are causing world-wide problems such as higher food prices and deforestation; they also require a lot of petroleum to produce, process, and ship.
Vet Removes Snare From Neck of Wolf in Denali National Park and Preserve
It's been my experience with those who "edit" on this site that if you have a reasonable justification for your comments, and aren't purely testosterone and emotion, your feelings can and will be aired. Most of us learned early on in our formal education that all-encompassing terminology rarely, if ever, applies in any given set of circumstances. Such is the nature of the basis for stereotyping, the "one size fits all" commentary. Some have posted their personal notions that "our ancestors" knew better than do we and killed wolves because it was the "right thing to do". Maybe HIS ancestors acted in this manner, I don't know. Many of mine hold the wolf in a high place of reverence, a cunning, skilled hunter, worthy of high praise and emulation, a "brother from a different mother" I believe is how the modern saying goes. Killed them? Only under the most strict set of circumstances and never as a regular routine. Studied them, learned their habits, benefitted from that knowledge to be sure. Even copied them in many aspects. They're a great lesson in cooperative society, and display a highly functional family and social structure. They are an acknowledged master of their environment, with pack sizes readily regulated by environmental conditions (read in: availability of food and water sources, weather conditions, and other factors as regulated by Mother Nature). They're obviously far from "dumb animals". Our species more qualifies for that title to be sure.
Besides, where do believe your ever-lovin', most loyal "man's best friend" traces it's lineage to if not directly to Canis lupis?
Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
Better interpretation is definitely a plus. My concern is that the system for funding the parks is out of whack. Too often it comes down to whose congressperson is more adept at earmarking legislation or calling in favors for support.
Just look at how the Centennial Challenge funds are being disbursed: In this first go-round, if a project didn't already have a stream of private money attached to it, it wasn't even considered, no matter how much merit it carried. There are more than a few questionable projects that got approval simply because they had some private money attached. Why are centennial funds being used to install utilities to a campground at Hot Springs National Park, and to install a new boat ramp at Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, and yet there's no money to save paleontological jobs at Dinosaur National Monument?
What I'd like to see is more clarity, and less politics, in prioritizing the needs across the park system. I know there is a priority system for construction projects, but what about for some of the other needs that exist? Too often priorities are established through earmarks. In fiscal 2005, for instance, there were 31 earmarks that funneled nearly $53 million to the NPS for congressionally selected (and thus mandated) projects.
Would the national park system as a whole have benefited more if that $53 million went into the NPS's overall budget for NPS staff to decide how best it could be spent? I'd like to think so.
Now, I've been told the funds for the Voyageurs boat are coming from the Alternative Transportation in the Parks and Public Lands Program, which aims to get folks out of private vehicles and into shared transportation. That sounds like a great program, (one, by the way, that I'd never heard about until this issue popped up).
Was the Voyageurs boat at the top of the funding list? I don't know. If so, great. I would be interested to learn whether there is a list of projects waiting to be funded through this program, and how they're assigned priority. If I can find anything out, I'll pass it along.
Protest Against American Revolution Center at Valley Forge National Historical Park Planned for May 15
God. Another protest to protect our esteemed blah blah blah blah. I am an evironmentalist. I walk to shop, donate to causes, pick up litter in the parks, etc.
But, I don't see anything wrong with building something to enhance the visitors experience and bring in a little money to help support the area those people are screaming and protesting about keeping the same.
People need to be educated when visiting our National Parks and such. They don't get it in the schools anymore and unless they are history buffs - most of the people show up - see an empty field and leave - stopping at McDonald's on the way out of town. I gave tours and worked with two National Monuments and a group with Yosemite - if you don't offer the beautiful welcome center and have an introductory video (download it to your IPOD) - you lose them.
And, if you say - you don't care - your a moron. If you can't get the average person to care - you are eventually going to lose it - either to budget cuts and disrepair or a sale or trade of the land you are trying to protect.
The structure can be built "green". Because it is east coast, it will be easier to sink some items and put them underground so as not to spoil the view. There could be underground parking so that there is no sea of asphalt. If there is a parking garage - it could be terraced and landscaped with a walking park on the roof with trees and flowers.
I hate to quote Mr. Gingrich but he said that we defeated our enemies and took care of ourselves in less than five years with World War II, it took 27 years for them to get everything they needed to build an extra runway at Atlanta's airport. I agree something is wrong.
Don't protest - ask to be involved in the planning session. Protest to get involved but, save your energy to protesting Darth Vader and his boss who still have 8 months left to destroy this country.

Lets see...so you can bar the comments of the people who disagree that wolves lives are more valuable than ANY humans...even the trappers. But gleefully post the comments by the wackos who think a person should be killed because a wolf got caught in this trap. Yep, I certainly see how you welcome different viewpoints!!
Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
Allow me to play Devil's Advocate for a moment. The NPT has long argued for increased funding for interpretation services for the Parks. Well, most of Voyageurs National Park is covered in water - what kind of interpretation can really occur there without a boat? Thus, I'm surprised that this development is treated with such skepticism.
National Park Quiz 1: Are You Centered?

National Park Quiz 1: Are You Centered?
Nice job, Barky; I'm impressed. Maybe you should be writing these quizzes instead of me? The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (not River; I've corrected the typo) was one of the original eight Wild and Scenic Rivers. The lower part of the park/riverway, the St. Croix River, forms the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota. This lower section of the riverway is heavily used (picnicking, boating, fishing, hiking), since Interstate 94 crosses there and the Minneapolis/ St. Paul metro area is just to the west.

Vet Removes Snare From Neck of Wolf in Denali National Park and Preserve
This article made me so very sad, even with the GREAT news that one of the two wolves was able to be cared for.
Why can't people let nature balance itself out and quit assuming that just because they bring in outside of nature animals that the government / law should side with them and allow this type of behavior to continue across the natural boundaries? Call me animal sensitive... but I think most of mankind should think more about how to reduce their populated numbers and their negative thoughts about controlling nature (which has done a pretty bang up job before mankind stepped in) for their own greedy needs before they continue stepping on nature's toes for the job. At least the natives had it right when they roamed this great country freely, they took only what they needed, and used all of the animal(s).... unfortunately as history has shown us time and time again
Never mind, I'm jumping off my soap box (from my small % of Cherokee-ness)... Thanks to everyone who is attempting (and winning) the overturning of wildlife abuse.
Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
I could see why private tour boats would do well in some areas, such as Fort William Henry on Lake George, NY, and not in others such as Voyageurs. Lake George is associated more directly with American History and is easily accessible for all demographics. I've never been to Voyageurs but it seems more of a remote location, and lacks the easily distinguished tie-in to the historical? That being said, it's only accessible to limited numbers of people. As a result, there's naturally less potential for the private tour operators.

I'm guessing, then that no one knows why locals 'detest' the park, as ironranger said earlier....
Where Are the Best Sunrises in the National Park System?
I would vote for sunrise (and pre-sunrise) at Canyon Overlook above the Great Arch of Zion in Zion National Park, looking west at Bridge Mountain and across Zion Canyon into Oak Creek Canyon. There is a dramatic change of color on the Great West Temple, the Temples of the Virgin and Alter of Sacrafice before the sun rises in the east. The light of sunrise on the Great West Temple from above the Rockville Bench south of the Virgin River and the mouth of Zion Canyon is also a rare and wonderful sight experienced by few visitors to Zion National Park because it requires an uphill drive on dirt roads outside the south park boundary.
Then, of course, there is sunrise on Mt. Scott, overlooking Crater Lake from an elevation of 8929 feet. For the few of us who had official access to the Mt. Scott fire lookout, making breakfast in the lookout before sunrise afforded a 360 degree view that includes the lake, inner caldera and slopes of ancient Mt. Mazama, the volcanic crest of the southern Cascade Mountain Range, extending from Mt. Shasta, California in the south to the South Sister near Bend, Oregon in the north, and the upper and lower Klamath Basin in the southeast.

Bigger Boat Tours Coming to Voyageurs National Park
Here in Minnesota, we will bring our own boats whether there was a tour boat or no. Boating is a very significant cultural activity, and many Minnesotans own boats or have access to one through family or friends. However, those visiting the park from outside the local area often rent boats and hire guides to get to the best fishing, or the best scenery. I could see how a tour boat could aid those who are unfamiliar with watercraft, or who are financially unable to rent a boat, get some enjoyment out a park that is mostly water. Is it a needed service? Most likely not. A way for a Congressman to move pork to his district? More likely.

crushed red pepper flakes to taste
green onions, cut into 2-inch slices
Awesome recipe... just used the chicken thighs. I wished there were a suggested amount of red pepper flakes to add ( I added 1 tbs ) ... too hot for me ... just right for the hubby! All in all... great copy cat recipe for general tsos chicken! Thanks for the recipe!
Flavor was more sweet than spicy, but definitely had an asian taste :) I used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead and added a red pepper cut up into chunks in the last 3 mins of cooking and finished off with sesame seeds for presentation. Good flavor, but lacking something savory in the sauce.

I love this recipe! I also boned the chicken and only used leg & thigh meat as I used to have this recipe from an old Chinese cookbook that I can no longer find, and the white meat seemed to always be too dry. I also used veg oil for frying, added minced garlic along with the ginger, and omitted the red pepper flakes. Thanks for posting!
Really great recipe. I used sliced chicken breasts, chili oil, and added a little extra honey and ginger. I also added some cashew nuts as well. The heat from the chili was just right and the honey just gave it that sticky texture I love. This is definitely going to be a go to recipe for me from now on.
This is awesome, but make sure to use sriracha or another spicy type of chili sauce. I used a sweet Asian chili sauce, and it was still good, but with the honey and the other sweet flavors, I think it would have been better with a spicy sauce!
I didn't care for the sauce- it was sweet ,gooey and overpowered by the chili sauce.

Tech News & Commentary
By PATRICK SEITZ
Posted 07/20/2013 10:03 AM ET
Microsoft (MSFT) loses money on each Surface tablet it sells, but as the old business joke goes, it hopes to make that up with higher volume.
The Redmond, Wash.-based company revealed late Thursday that it took a $900 million charge to fiscal fourth-quarter earnings, equal to 7 cents a share, to write down inventory of its poorly selling Surface RT tablets.
The "inventory adjustments" for Surface RT mostly stemmed from $150 discounts Microsoft started offering to move units, Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood said on a conference call with analysts. The $900 million is equal to $150 discounts on 6 million base model Surface RT tablets.
Bloomberg View Enlarged Image
Microsoft's Surface RT tablet with 32-gigabytes of storage was reduced to $349, from its October launch price of $499. A model with 64 GB of storage now costs $449, down from its original price of $599. The attachable keyboard still costs an extra $100.
The fire sale prices led observers to speculate the company might discontinue the line, so it could put its weight behind Surface Pro tablets, which run the full Windows PC operating system.
But Microsoft gave no indication that it plans to discontinue the Windows RT tablet, which prominent tech writer Paul Thurrott called a "piece of junk ."
"We believe this pricing adjustment will accelerate Surface RT adoption and position us better for long-term success," Hood said. "We also increased retail distribution this quarter. Surface is now available in 29 markets and more than 10,000 retail locations."
Microsoft's double-down strategy with Surface also includes expanding availability of the product to business and institutional customers and authorizing more resellers to distribute the tablet.
Brian Hall, Microsoft's general manager of Surface marketing, told ZDNet writer Mary Jo Foley that the company is "100% committed to Surface RT and Windows RT going forward and has no plans to drop work on either product."
Microsoft developed its Surface tablets to take on Apple 's (AAPL) iPad and Google (GOOG) Android-based tablets from Amazon (AMZN), Samsung and others. But Surface RT and Surface Pro run different versions of Windows. RT was designed for low-power ARM (ARMH)-based processors and requires specially written apps, of which there are relatively few. Surface Pro runs Windows 8 and has competitive disadvantages against regular notebooks and rival tablets.
Microsoft now has two big money-losing businesses: its longtime black hole of online services, including Bing and MSN, and Surface tablets.
Last year, Microsoft's online services division lost $1.28 billion on sales of $3.2 billion. In the past five years alone, the online services group has lost $16.1 billion.

Pope Francis had corrective words for "anesthetized" Catholics, saying their "attitude is crippling apostolic zeal." The Pope delivered these remarks during his homily at the Vatican chapel and guest house where he resides.

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: Pope Francis, anesthetized, catholics, zeal, grace, homily
ROME, ITALY (Catholic Online) - "I think of many Christians, of many Catholics: yes, they are Catholics, but without enthusiasm, even embittered," Pope Francis told the congregants. "'Yes, life is what it is, but the Church - I go to Mass every Sunday, but better not get mixed up in things - I have faith for my health, I do not feel the need to give it to another.'. Each in his own house, the quiet life: but, you do something and then they criticize you: 'No, leave it alone, don't chance it.' This is the disease of sloth, the acedia of Christians. This attitude that is crippling the apostolic zeal, which makes Christian people stand still and at ease, but not in the good sense of the word: they do not bother to go out to proclaim the Gospel! They are anesthetized."
Pope Francis said that such Christians are "not useful" and that they lack "apostolic zeal." He referred to their attitude as "selfish" and "slothful."
Don't be an anesthetized Catholic. Join Pope Francis and Act now.
Pope Francis also criticized the sin of formalism, which is the strict adherence to procedures that comes at the cost of grace. He referred specifically to the example of Christ performing miracles on the Sabbath. "Christians, who do not leave space for the grace of God - and the Christian life, the life of these people, consists in having all the paperwork, all the certificates, in order," he explained.
"Christian hypocrites, like these, only interested in their formalities. It was a Sabbath? No, you cannot do miracles on the Sabbath, the grace of God cannot work on Sabbath days. They close the door to the grace of God. We have so many in the Church, we have many! It is another sin. The first, those who have the sin of sloth, are not able to go forward with their apostolic zeal, because they have decided to stand firm in themselves, in their sorrows, their resentments, in all of that. Such as these are not capable of bringing salvation because they close the door to salvation."
Pope Francis is looking to motivate Christians to action, first for themselves, that they may through 'Prayer' become closer to God and discern His will for their lives, and second for 'Action' that they may serve others as Christ serves them.
Pope Francis has called on all the world's Catholics to join him in a campaign of 'Prayer and Action' to end world hunger. So far, while many Catholics have responded, the response has fallen short of hopeful expectations and more effort is needed.
Recently, an independent food aid organization reported to the United Nations that it was possible to eliminate world hunger by 2025, provided individuals do more to demand improved infrastructure, food distribution, and make personal efforts to reduce waste and share bounty.
