Underground vaults to be evaluated before Nashua sidewalk repair
On Wednesday, the aldermanic Finance Committee will review a proposed contract to hire a Portsmouth firm charged with evaluating and recommending remediation efforts for the underground structures.
"We knew some of these smaller structures were in existence, but the staff wasn't aware of some of the larger structures," City Engineer Steve Dookran said on Monday, explaining a handful of the underground rooms extend about 10 to 12 feet from some of the buildings.
Dookran said some of the vaults were likely built in the early 1900s or late 1800s, adding there are not many records or documentation on the underground chutes. It is important to evaluate the structural integrity of the underground rooms and determine whether they can hold the weight of a new sidewalk, said Dookran, adding engineers must also determine what kinds of repairs may be needed to strengthen the underground vaults.
"Structural elements include several rooms located under the sidewalk, existing vaults, access points and possibly old coal chutes that have been sealed in the basement but not addressed under the sidewalk," says a request for proposals by the City of Nashua.
Several locations have been identified along Main Street where bulkheads, coal chutes, manholes or access hatches are still located in the sidewalk. While these areas have been sealed off in basements, it is unknown what might remain below the sidewalk, according to the request for proposals. Specifically, there are five downtown buildings where a portion of the structure extends under the sidewalk, including an office building at 143 Main St., the new Twill knitting and fabric store at 100 Main St., Martha's Exchange at 185 Main St., Fay's Cabinetry at 172 Main St. and Nashua Garden deli at 121 Main St.
There are several other locations along Main Street where access hatches, air intakes or exhaust ports are visible from the sidewalk area to various basements that must also be evaluated before sidewalk work can take place, according to the document on file at Nashua City Hall.
"We can still proceed with the sidewalk (renovation) work, but we will try to work around these - at least in the beginning," said Dookran, explaining it should not delay the start of spring sidewalk improvements.
Construction crews first became aware of an underground structure while installing a new foundation for a mast arm traffic signal at 143 Main St. last summer. An underground room was located, which extended under the sidewalk about 12 feet from the face of the building.
"As a result, site visits have been made to each building in the project area to examine the existing basements, locate areas of concern and document existing conditions to the extent feasible," says the request for proposals, adding an evaluation is necessary as soon as possible so that sidewalk reconstruction can continue once the weather warms.
Hoyle, Tanner and Associates Inc. of Portsmouth is being recommended for the estimated $45,000 underground structural evaluation.
"The vault evaluation project is unique and will require a specialized set of skills," says a letter from Christopher Mulleavey of the engineering firm.
His company has recent experience with evaluation and repairs to basements of historic buildings, and previously designed structural repairs in a crawl space of the Amoskeag Mill building in Manchester.
Ten blocks along Main Street in Nashua will undergo major sidewalk improvements within the next three years, a project that could cost upwards of $2 million.
In addition to improving all of the sidewalks, city workers will correct drainage problems and install new street lights, mast arm mounted traffic signals, benches, trash containers and newspaper boxes. Every tree along Main Street will be removed and then new trees will be planted with root barriers so that they do not destroy the new sidewalks.
Work began last summer in the downtown area, as members of the city's Public Works Department began installing new sidewalks along both sides of the Main Street Bridge.
It is the city's intention to repair sidewalks from the Main Street Bridge up to Water Street on the west side and up to Park Street on the east side, in addition to the path from West Pearl Street to City Hall.
Wednesday's meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Nashua City Hall.

Expand Your Beautiful Female Mind Beyond Previous Limitations!
Learn NEW Female Minded Tools (Successories) and Strategies for 'Top of Your Game' Success.
Designed by a Woman for Women!
You don't need a blueprint for success, you need a PINKprint!
Time Management, Balance, Improved relationships are just some of what you will learn!
Our feminine hardware (the way we women are innately designed) has been running male software for too long that's why we are 50% more likely to burn out in the workplace.
Let's face it ladies, if we actually applied all we know from the books, seminars and courses we've attended, we would already be super successful and be in control our lives.
Allow Maz to share her secrets that took her from a check out chick who dropped out of high school at 14 yrs old with no self esteem or confidence to leading women to $30 Million Dollars in Sales during the GFC with no prior leadership training. From someone who has and IS walking the talk AGAIN. Her Success is no fluke, she's doing it again with IOWI her 3rd hugely profitable yet soul-fulfilling mission/business.
Have you read self-development books and been to countless seminars and retreats, yet you still feel there is something holding you back from being successful and living the life you dream of?
You don't need more of the same, you need the real reason, the truth behind the female mind and success, delivered by someone who actually overcame major obstacles (from no confidence, abuse, fear, anxiety, no self esteem) and yet DID IT anyway.
Did you know you inherited a predisposition to what your ancestors in your family line likely stressed about? This is SCIENCE called Epigenetics! Its proof that you are way more than your genes though and can change by breaking the cycle when you know how. This is the biggest hope in science IN HISTORY! Let us explain why this is especially relevant to WOMEN of influence, that's YOU!!!
It's truly going to break new ground for women who want success. A NEW PARADIGM not previously full uncovered and WITH A SOLUTION for all the blockages, barriers, walls and curve balls and the unique female issues that sabotage the majority of women who are striving for success. This is way more than just how you can be a success, this is HOW you can GET TO THE TOP OF YOUR GAME without sacrifice, actually, it will feel effortless when you really wrap your head around this and fully get it! You are woman, lets hear you roar and achieve your dreams!!!
We would like to personally Invite you to spend the day with Maz at her Half Day LEADERSHIP
BluePINK PRINT(tm)- The NEW ReVOLUTION of Female Empowerment.
Click on the city nearest you as it's linked to the registration form for that specific event.
Marylin Schirmer has discovered and unwound the ACTUAL unique way women operate at both an unconscious and conscious level so that they can move forward with success; free of fears and 'hang-ups'. And it's not what we are mostly taught.
This UNIQUE way that ONLY WOMEN process information, hormones, emotion, perception and reality determines whether they (either intentionally or unintentionally) are creating success or sabotage in any area of their life, and how to be in control of her own outcomes.
No more having to feel like a failure when the only problem has been women using 'male-minded' strategies that were adopted from mainstream success models. Yes, even the most well-intentioned Guru's and the very best of them have not considered this difference when it comes to success, achievement and all of the 'how-to's' in life, let alone the undoing of female issues they don't face such as a woman's emotional problems.
All the logic (as most goal setting practices are) on the planet will not help a woman reach a goal who deep in her core doesn't believe she deserves it or 'should' have it, regardless of 'reason', plan or practical advice. Fear of rejection, fear of not being accepted, fear of success, fear of failure, fear of not being loved, FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!. The last thing we need is more pressure like goals to trigger our fears and lead to other things like over-eating and all manner of stress and low self-esteem issues. Did we say ANXIETY??? We won't even get started on that one, or GUILT! We will say that guilt is predominantly a female emotion, that's why it's not considered in success self development, because male minds created most of what currently exists or is being taught, even if taught by a woman, she was trained by men or they were....
Let's face it ladies, if we actually applied all we know from the books, seminars and courses we've attended, we would already be super successful.
If you want to be successful in any area of your life you have to attend the Institute of Women International LEADERSHIP
Blue PinkPRINT™ Workshop Conference. This revolutionary new information is crucial and you cannot get this from anywhere else, so time is of the essence… Best of all it's only $97 for 5 hours of hardcore learning and practical exercises.
Finally you will understand YOU and not follow the path that most people are busy taking because they have been led to believe that an unconscious mind is an unconscious mind. A woman's UNconscious mind has much more to do OUTSIDE of her awareness that no one seems to have noticed before. This means it has it's natural flows and you can learn to flow along for the ride and create success, as well as life when you realise that your 'way' of 'creating' is natural and effortless. It beats goal setting hands down because this is a male minded strategy. It just adds to a women's fears and we aren't designed for it. Find your feminine flow with creation of anything from wealth to success in business and especially in Leadership.
If Maz (Marylin) could go from a single abused mother of 4, living in hiding, unemployed check out operator in a grocery store to 'Million Dollar' Maz, becoming a number 1 leader of women in a Fortune 500 company in over 10 countries during the 2009 GFC by NOT heeding traditional success advice then what can you achieve when you know the real secret to a woman succeeding in life...something that Maz feels compelled to share with you.
This information WILL make you realise that the fact that you are a woman is NOT a negative, it can be a great advantage, when you know how to drive your own inner ACTUAL FEMALE self. This is truly breaking new ground for women who want success without sacrifice and selling their soul to get it! In fact, feed your soul to get it.
A NEW PARADIGM not previously known and WITH A SOLUTION for women. This is way more than just how you can be a success, this is HOW you can GET TO THE TOP OF YOUR GAME without sacrifice, actually, it will feel effortless when you really wrap your head around this and fully get it! You are woman, lets hear you roar and achieve your dreams!!!
Marylin is passionately committed to helping women break FREE and be empowered with the tools that keep them in control, by maintaining a healthy state of mind and achieving their previously untapped potential.
FINALLY a Solution for Women THAT REALLY WORKS! Get tools designed for that unique way our minds work.

5 Surprisingly Good & 5 Disappointing Movies Of 2011
We count down movies expected to suck that were surprisingly good. And vice versa.
Before a movie year begins, every blogger and fan is making their list of the most anticipated movies of the coming year and how they are sure that it's going to be a great film whichever they choose based on the previews and other elements that are in place. Sadly, life doesn't always work out that way. Some of the best looking movies end up being utter disappointments and some of the movies that you ridicule and completely write off end up being some of the most memorable surprises of the year.
Who is to say 'The Avengers' won't be an utter dreck? Well, it probably won't but you get my point. Here are some of the biggest disappointments as well as some of the surprises in terms of movies in 2011.

* Travis Wood took the loss, giving up seven runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out four over six innings. It's the most runs Wood has allowed at Wrigley Field since giving up eight in five innings on July 27, 2012, vs. the Cardinals. Wood issued lead-off walks in three straight innings.
* The Cubs have given up 10 or more runs in back-to-back home games for the first time since May 12 (13 vs. MIL) and May 21 (12 vs. PIT) in 2002.
* The Cubs have lost back-to-back games despite scoring six or more runs for the first time since losing four-straight from Aug. 27-30, 2006.
7/12 Braves 11, Cubs 6
* Edwin Jackson dropped his team-leading 10th loss Saturday, giving up a season-high nine earned runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out three. He is 0-4 with a 5.44 ERA (26 ER/43 IP) in nine games (seven starts) against the Braves. Jackson gave up three home runs in the same start for the first time since Aug. 1, 2012, vs. the Phillies. He was pulled after throwing 74 pitches, the fewest he's thrown since Sept. 28 last year vs. the Cardinals.
* Arismendy Alcantara was 2-for-5 and scored two runs. He led off the game with his first career extra-base hit at Wrigley Field, a double to left-center field. He has hit safely in his last three games, including two doubles and a triple, scoring four runs.
* Justin Ruggiano posted his third three-hit game of the month. Since returning from the disabled list on May 27, Ruggiano is hitting .319 (37-for-116) with 10 doubles, a triple, three homers, and 14 RBI.
7/9 Cubs lineup
Arismendy Alcantara, called up while Darwin Barney is on paternity leave, will make his Major League debut Wednesday night for the Cubs against the Reds. The infielder, promoted from Triple-A Iowa, will start at second base and bat second. Dallas Beeler makes his second big league start for the Cubs. He held the Nationals to one unearned run on four hits over six innings in his debut game. Here's the lineup:
Coghlan LF
Alcantara 2B
Rizzo 1B
Castro SS
Valbuena 3B
Ruggiano CF
Sweeney RF
Castillo C
Beeler P
7/2 Alcantara making good impression
The Cubs' so-called core four may need to make room for one more. Arismendy Alcantara is making quite an impression at Triple-A Iowa. The infielder was batting .307 in 82 games with 10 home runs, 22 doubles, 10 triples and 20 stolen bases. He's played both second base and center field.
"His year has been on a really good trajectory," GM Jed Hoyer said Wednesday. "I feel he's the under-appreciated guy in our system. He's only 22, he's a switch hitter, he's in Triple-A and no one talks about him because of guys like [Javier] Baez, [Kris] Bryant and [Albert] Almora."
Baez, Bryant, Almora and Jorge Soler have been dubbed the core four, and are considered the top prospects in the Cubs system. Add Alcantara to the list.
"He's opened our eyes with the year he's having," Hoyer said.
Having Alcantara be able to play both infield and outfield has definitely improved his chances of getting promoted to the big leagues.
"We do have a lot of infielders," Hoyer said. "At some point, we'll probably move Javy around [the infield], too. Alcantara is fast and can go out and play center field and looks good when he's done it. In our organization, we have a lot more depth infield than outfield, so I think it only adds to his ways to being on the club."

5/31 Minor matters — Friday's games
Arismendy Alcantara hit a pair of home runs to lead Iowa to a 6-4 win over Memphis. The teams waited through a 4 hour 11 minute rain delay before starting. The delay didn't disrupt Cubs' leadoff man Ryan Kalish. He hit the second pitch of the game from Redbirds' starter Zach Petrick for a home run. It was his first hit since joining Iowa on tuesday. Alcantara hit a three-run homer in the third. Alcantara hit his second blast in the top of the seventh. It was his first career multi-homer game and he is tied with Javier Baez for the team lead with seven homers. Scott Moore homered off Iowa starter Kyle Hendricks, the first he's served up in 60 innings this season.
Kris Bryant hit his Southern League-leading 17th home run but it wasn't enough as Tennessee lost, 5-1, to Huntsville. Bryant led off the ninth with his homer, his third in as many games. He has homered in four of his last five games, and was batting .404 in 28 May games with 29 runs, six doubles, 12 home runs and 34 RBIs.
Rob Zastryzny gave up five runs on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings in Daytona's 7-2 loss to Palm Beach. Wilson Contreras had two hits and his 12th RBis of the year.
Jacob Rogers hit a three-run homer to help Kane County beat Clinton, 4-1. Daury Torrez picked up the win, giving up one run over five innings. James Pugliese struck out five over three scoreless innings of relief.
5/27 Vitters on DL
The Iowa Cubs placed Josh Vitters on the DL, effective May 24, with a broken big toe on his left foot. He suffered the injury when he fouled a ball off his toe during batting practice. Vitters was batting .208 (30-for-144) with six home runs and 20 RBIs in 43 games. Arismendy Alcantara was scheduled to start in the outfield for the Iowa Cubs Tuesday against Memphis, but that game was postponed because of rain. It would have been his first pro start in the outfield. The I-Cubs are short-handed with Vitters being injured and Ryan Kalish yet to arrive.
1/15 Cubs rookie development program
Fifteen of the Cubs top prospects are taking part in the Rookie Development Program this week, and had a workout on Wednesday at Northwestern University. Among the players taking part are infielders Javy Baez, Kris Bryant, Mike Olt, Christian Villanueva, and Arismendy Alcantara; outfielders Albert Almora, Jorge Soler and Rubi Silva; and pitchers Pierce Johnson, Neil Ramirez, Eric Jokisch, Kyle Hendricks, C.J. Edwards, Armando Rivero and Arodys Vizcaino. The week is filled with seminars plus the players had a chance to watch Tuesday night's Blackhawks' NHL game.
Jason McLeod, Cubs player development and scouting director, did say Baez would open at Triple-A Iowa and Bryant most likely at Double-A Tennessee.
I'll have more from the workout a little later today.

11/20 Roster moves – UPDATED
The Cubs added infielder Arismendy Alcantara and pitcher Dallas Beeler to the 40-man roster Wednesday, which was the deadline for teams to set their rosters in preparation for the Rule 5 Draft. With the moves, the Cubs' 40-man is now at 39.
Alcantara, 22, who hit a solo home run playing for the World Team in the All-Stars Futures Game, batted .271 with 15 home runs, 69 RBIs and 31 stolen bases at Double-A Tennessee this season, and was batting .196 in 15 games with Licey in the Dominican Republic Winter League. The second baseman earned Southern League mid-season and post-season All-Star honors. He ranked second in the Southern League in hits and doubles and was tied for third in stolen bases.
Beeler, 24, was 4-2 with a 3.13 ERA in nine starts for Tennessee. He missed time after he tore a tendon in the middle finger of his right hand, and made six starts in the Arizona Fall League, where he posted a 4-1 record and 2.49 ERA. In his 15 starts combined, Beeler walked 22 and gave up four home runs over 76 1/3 innings. He started the AFL championship game for the Mesa Solar Sox and gave up one run on two hits over five innings. The right-hander was a 41st round selection in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.
Players first signed at age 18 must be added to 40-man rosters within five seasons or they become eligible to be drafted by other organizations through the Rule 5 process. Players signed at 19 years or older have to be protected within four seasons. Clubs pay $50,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft. If that player doesn't stay on the 25-man roster for the full season, he must be offered back to his former team for $25,000. In other words, an international player or high school draftee signed in 2009, assuming they were 18 or under as of June 5 of that year, must be protected. A college player taken in the 2010 Draft is in the same boat.
The Rule 5 Draft will be held Dec. 12.

11/20 Roster decisions
Today is the deadline for teams to set their 40-man rosters in preparation for the Rule 5 Draft. Players first signed at age 18 must be added to 40-man rosters within five years or they become eligible to be drafted by other organizations through the Rule 5 process. Players signed at 19 years or older have to be protected within four years. Clubs pay $50,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft. If that player doesn't stay on the 25-man roster for the full season, he must be offered back to his former team for $25,000.
In other words, an international player or high school draftee signed in 2009, assuming they were 18 or under as of June 5 of that year, must be protected. A college player taken in the 2010 Draft is in the same boat.
The Cubs' 40-man is currently at 37. Infielder Arismendy Alcantara is most likely to be added to the 40-man. The talented second baseman batted .271 with 15 home runs, 69 RBIs and 31 stolen bases at Double-A Tennessee this season.
Some other Minor League players who would be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft if not protected on the Cubs' 40-man are: pitchers Matt Loosen, Dallas Beeler, Marcus Hatley, Austin Kirk, Ryan Searle and Zach Cates; infielders Gioskar Amaya and Marco Hernandez; and outfielder Jae-Hoon Ha.
Remember that if selected in the Rule 5 Draft, that player has to stay on the Major League roster the entire season. So, even if a player isn't protected by the Cubs, it's not a slight, but may simply be that the team doesn't feel he's ready.

11/16 Extra bases – UPDATED
AFL Championship
The Mesa Solar Sox face the Surprise Saguaros on Saturday in the Arizona Fall League championship game. Cubs prospect Dallas Beeler is scheduled to start for Mesa, and Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler and Albert Almora could be in the lineup. The game will be televised on MLB Network, starting at 2 p.m. CT. Bryant leads the AFL with six home runs and a 1.184 OPS.
"Anytime you play baseball, you want to be the last one on the field," Bryant said. "A lot of us are swinging the bats well and our pitchers are throwing strikes. We're pretty confident going into Saturday."
Radio update
The Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Ill.) reports Ron Coomer is being considered as WGN Radio's new color man. Coomer played for the Cubs in 2001 and has done TV work for the Twins. Coomer knows Chicago — he's a graduate of Lockport High School and has a baseball academy in the south suburbs. WGN Radio is looking for someone to partner with play by play man Pat Hughes after Keith Moreland announced he was not coming back for the 2014 season.
Winter League
Arismendy Alcantara had two hits, including a RBI single in the fifth, in Licey's 6-2 victory over Oriente in Dominican Winter League play. Junior Lake was 2-for-4 for Oriente.
Luis Valbuena had his second straight two-hit game for Cardenales de Lara in Venezuela, which lost, 13-12, in 13 innings to La Guaira. Valbuena started at second base for the second consecutive game.
Roster moves
Infielder Walter Ibarra, who has been in the Yankees system since 2006, has signed a Minor League contract with the Cubs. Ibarra, 26, reached Triple-A level this season. He posted a .276/.308/.367 line combined at Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's primarily played short and second.
The Cubs also have signed outfielder Aaron Cunningham, 27, to a Minor League contract. A sixth-round pick in 2005 by the White Sox, Cunningham has played 222 games over five seasons with the Athletics, Padres and Indians. He spent last season at Triple-A Round Rock, and posted a .247/.337/.401 line in 115 games there with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs.
The Cubs have signed free agent catcher Eli Whiteside, 34, to a Minor League contract, according to MLB.com transactions page. He spent most of last season with the Rangers' Triple-A team, batting .187 in 67 games. He last appeared in the Majors with the Giants in 2012.
Also, infielder Jeudy Valdez, 24, has reportedly signed a Minor League contract with the Cubs, although he did not receive a Spring Training invite. He posted a .251/.300/.406 slash line in 125 games with San Antonio last season, hitting 10 home runs and driving in 49 runs with 16 steals.

Tips on Making Buttermilk Soap
I make and love buttermilk soap also. To avoid the ammonia smell or burnt orangey color, I freeze the buttermilk solid, take the frozen buttermilk out and set to defrost a little. It's so hot in Boston in the summer, half an hour gets it loose enough so I can slip the milk out of the container easily (I also harrass everyone I know to save 1/2 qt. containers for me). I save the container to use as a mold, lovely squarish roundish soap (because the soap bulges the container, making round soaps with corners, make sense?).
I put the frozen buttermilk into the lye liquid and wait 2 minutes till everything starts melting, then I stir, gently, gently till it's all melted, then I put in salt and sugar, stirring to melt. The liquid becomes a dark brown, almost black, but no smell.
I make up my recipe like any other recipe, if the buttermilk isn't enough for the liquid % of the recipe, I just add milk to make up the difference. My soap after curing 2 months is a lovely light golden color, like buttermilk. Heavenly smell, I don't scent at all, the milky scent is great, with wild honey, whoa!!
I use buttermilk in most of my recipes. Usually, for a 12# to 13# batch of soap, I add 21 oz. of lye to 26 oz. water (depending on the oils used, of course) and add 32 oz. buttermilk at trace. I always run it through a lye calculator, so that my amounts are right. I package my lye in 21 oz. containers, so I use the oils in amounts that superfat about 6 percent, according to a lye calculator. With my soap box, that make 48 – 4 oz. bars. I used to make 12# batches, but now have expanded it a bit so that the bars are still 4 oz. after I sculpt them. I've also used 2% milk with a couple Tblsp. of lemon juice added to make buttermilk!

Use a private office with a table so both parties can comfortably take notes. Avoid sitting across a desk because this creates an impression of inequality between the interviewer and candidate.
How to Conduct a Job Interview
When conducting a job interview, you want to always follow a standardized procedure to ensure you are both legal and fair. This will also ensure that you cover all the right bases so you give yourself the best chance of hiring the best candidate.
Things You'll Need
- Paper and pen
- Table and two chairs
- List of questions
Have a formalized list of questions ready that directly pertain to the position and follow the same questioning for each candidate. Most first interviews should last from 30 minutes to one hour. Some companies will have a job candidate meet with several people and each will cover different aspects of the process. For example, one manager might give a tour, another will ask situational questions and another will handle background questions.
Ask open-ended questions that do not require just a yes or no answer. Avoid personal questions other than small talk about the weather, directions or traffic. Do not ask about family or ages of children. The candidate may volunteer personal information but it should be relevant to your decision making process.
Describe the job in detail and show what needs to be done, if you have any concern on the person's physical ability to handle the job. If one of the major functions of the job involves heavy lifting or very demanding physical labor, you should work with a medical professional who can prescreen candidates after you determine the finalists.
Give the applicant ample time to ask questions when you have completed asking yours. Also, provide some idea of what the job entails and general information about the company, its sales volume and plans.
Always follow up with the applicant. Provide your business card during the interview and invite a call in the event of additional questions. Then, once the final decision is reached, call and convey the news. Anyone who comes in for an interview deserves a telephone call. Send a letter to the applicants you did not interview.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Ask yourself if each question is directly related to the job. If not, don't ask.

Planetary-Scale Geospatial Analysis with Google Earth Engine -- November 7, 2014
Click here to register.
Performing analyses on Earth observation data at large scales can be a time consuming and lonely task. Performing a satellite-based global analysis of deforestation, for example, requires downloading all the necessary satellite data, preprocessing it to suit a given algorithm or workflow, and then running the analysis on a desktop computer, or a cluster of CPUs. Depending on the scale of the data, the complexity of the workflow, and the capacity of the available hardware, each of these steps could take days, weeks, or years. Google Earth Engine greatly simplifies and expedites the process of analyzing Earth observation data. The platform provides a vast catalog of data, APIs for developing algorithms that can be run across the Google cloud, and tools for visualizing and interacting with data products via Web interfaces. This talk will introduce Earth Engine, describe how it works, and provide examples of how it is currently being applied to perform planetary-scale geospatial analysis.
Presenter: David Thau
Dave Thau helps scientists, NGOs, and other partners build software and algorithms that run on Google Earth Engine, Google's geo analysis platform. Prior to joining Google, Dave worked for many years helping ecologists and biodiversity researchers integrate their systems into distributed collaborative networks. Dave holds degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a doctorate in computer science from the University of California, Davis.
Emails for upcoming seminars are sent to all ASPRS, CaGIS and GLIS members with the registration link. Just click on the clink in the email to get to the online registration for each seminar. Please note that slots for the live seminar are limited to 95 so register early to be assured you are approved. It is also important that if you register for a seminar that you do attend as there are more people interested in the live seminars than there are slots available to accommodate everyone.

Will Lagging Generic Approval Rates Increase FDA Backlog?
Eileen Oldfield, Associate Editor
Published Online:
Friday, July 11, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Generic drug approvals for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2014 are noticeably fewer than for the same period in 2013, despite an abundance of Accelerated New Drug Applications (ANDAs).
In the first 6 months of the 2014 fiscal year, the FDA has not approved nearly as many ANDAs as it did in 2013, despite receiving 597 submissions. According to its activities report, the FDA approved 196 ANDA applications between October 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. Sixty-three of the ANDAs approved are for first-time generics.
During that same period in the 2013 fiscal year, the FDA approved 227 ANDAs, including 61 first-time generic drugs.
The FDA received 992 original ANDAs during the 2013 fiscal year, and issued 71 refuse-to-receive notifications, according to the FDA's annual user-fee report. Of those applications, 428 received approval, and 106 of the drugs approved were first-time generics.
The FDA issued 1500 complete response letters, which detail problems with drug applications or additional information the FDA needs in order to make a determination on the drug, according to its annual
Performance Report to the President and Congress for the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments
According to its drug approval information page, common problems include unanticipated safety issues and manufacturing concerns, including failure to meet good manufacturing practice standards.
Meanwhile, the FDA has issued 694 complete response letters thus far during the 2014 fiscal year. The FDA has also issued 91 refuseto- receive notices, which it issues when it receives an incomplete application.
The growing backlog could prevent the FDA from meeting a major Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) goal involving ANDAs. GDUFA's year goals include reviewing and acting on 90% of ANDAs, ANDA amendments, and ANDA prior-approval supplements.
In addition, generic manufacturers will soon face new stability requirements when submitting their applications after June 20, 2014, nearly a year after the final guidance appeared in the
Federal Register
Under the new stability guidelines, applicants would need to submit data from 3 pilot scale batches or 2 pilot scale batches and 1 small-scale batch. The batches would need to meet certain size requirements. According to a clarification on its guidance, chewable, disintegrating, immediate-release, extended-release, and delayed-release oral medication applications should be submitted with 2 batches at either 10% of the proposed production batch or 100,000 dosage units, whichever is greater. Although the third batch can be smaller than the 10% proposed production batch, it should not be smaller than 25% of the pilot scale batch. The FDA has additional specifications for powder, topical, and inhalation formulas tailored to those particular formulations.
Applicants must provide reasons if their batch does not meet the stability requirements. The applications must also contain 6 months of stability data including accelerated and long-term stability conditions, and data must use multiple product lots when it is appropriate.
Once the new guidance goes into effect, the manufacturing and packing process for the ANDA must reflect that of the commercial process. Applicants will also need to provide a fully packaged primary batch.
Manufacturers submitting amendments to ANDAs after June 20, 2014, will not be held to the new requirements, however. Instead, those applications will be evaluated according to the standards in place during their original submission date.

iPhone beer maker sues Carling over virtual suds
An iPhone app developer is suing the Molson Coors Brewing company for over $12.5m in damages for allegedly copying his $3 novelty beer-pouring application and offering it on iTunes for free. Steve Sheraton, operator of Nevada-based Hottrix, claims the idea for his iBeer app was illegitimately lifted by the brewing conglomerate …
why refuse?
surely he should have just licensed it to them and made a load of money anway that he wouldnt normally have
They used a different video clip, added a bunch of content etc. The display is fundamentally different.
The idea may be the same, but you cannot copyright an idea, merely the means of expression.
That's the concept anyhow, we'll see how practice rolls out
It wasn't even his original idea. He stole it from that illusionist on youtube who had the beer drinking video super imposed on an iphone outside an apple store on the iphone launch day. You'll remember him as the guy that kept saying "amazing" in the most annoying way. "Look at my new iphone it does some aaaaammmmmaaazzzing things".
Hi, I made a pointless iphone app, make me rich now plz
Here's hoping he loses... seriously, $3 for a beer animation? The guy's just plain greedy - as are most iphone app developers. And now he's proving it with a ridiculous lawsuit. How can he possibly claim to deserve $12.5m for such a pointless app? He probably refused Carling's licensing offer in the first place because they didn't offer him millions for it.
6m downloads of ipint != 6m lost sales of ibeer - just because people are willing to download it for free doesn't mean they'd be willing to pay $3 for it. It would provide at most a couple of minutes of entertainment.
I'd download it for free (and probably remove it again pretty soon after), but there's no way I'd spend money on it - I don't care if it is a small amount, pointless apps are not worth money.
But should he??
I have heard of similar cases, where a big firm offers to buy a license for a product, pays a few pence in royalties for a short while, reverse engineers it and then makes it's own version and tells the original developer to bugger off. (Microsoft comes to mind). After all, how many little guys are willing or able to take on the thousands of lawyers these big firms can deploy??
By refusing he avoided any small print malarkey Apple's lawyers may have tried to insert into the contract.
No win no fee?
iPint is free and a good gag. However I woud *never* have downloaded it even if it were $1=50p
Sorry , but the developer's being a bit greedy. Sounds like some lawyer's offered to take this on on a no win no fee basis.
I'm surprised there isn't a cocaine version yet. They could sell that for more.
It was BMG what done it
More evidence that Ad agencies have little or no originality - Beattie , McGuiness and Bungay one of London's top creative boutiques developed the app for Carling which in case people don't know is pure urine anyway !More evidence that Ad agencies have little or no originality - Beattie , McGuiness and Bungay one of London's top creative boutiques developed the app for Carling which in case people don't know is pure urine anyway !
How much did the brewery pay for the free app?
He might be considering his marketing idea to be what's worth $12M, not sales of the app itself. Still, pretty ridiculous.
iThink iMay iLose iThe iWill iTo iLive. iPint = iWaste iOf iTime.
Carling is horrible anyway......
As someone else commented above, Carling tastes like p*ss, is horrible and just made from chemicals. In the UK, cheap beer like this is what causes violence outside pubs at closing time.
If the UK copied the german purity laws, im sure there would be less trouble ...but that's never gonna happen.
He should be able to sue them just for claiming that Carling is actually beer. Vile stuff.
Whats the point?
I mean... come on.... Virtual Beer????? Why would you want to pretend to drink beer.... well then again it was ripped off by a well known peddler of Canoe beer*.......
Didnt bring a coat today... I'll just head to the pub.....
* Like making love in a canoe - F$*king close to water....
Failing the $12.5m (fat chance) I'd probably settle for a free life-time supply of beer.
Not Carling though - I said beer.
Gosh and there was me
working on the simulated five finger shuffle for the potentiometer, somewhat sort of like, but obviously not like, those pens you turn upside down. And someone does a naff little beer pouring app and gets to sue a corporate, it is not fair I tell you.
Anyhow, he should be awarded a rate similar to TV advertising Saturday night on a major channel, which he should then have to pay to the original artist.
Ad Agencies do copy like the little cats of copying they are. No original ideas at all, they just steal;
oohh paper bag floating in the wind, I know I have an idea, no you don't you just saw a bag float in the wind, you are not creative, you are not your fucking khakis, you are the same decaying matter as everything else, you are the all singing dancing crap of the world. Oh and deliver me from Swedish furniture.
Refreshes parts, probably
I'd guess iBeer on the iPhone tastes better than Carling. Most things do.
What next?
Microsoft sues for loss of profit because OpenOffice is free?
Best of luck to him
If you can make some stupid little app, sell it for $3 to iphone losers, then sue some company for $12M when they make a similar app. sign me up.
$3 sounds like small beer for the deam of every beer drinker out there - the magically refilling glass
Tish, and if you will, boom boom
"6m downloads of ipint != 6m lost sales of ibeer" - it is if you use the MPAA method of loss accounting which i believe is the standard in the US.
Don't beat up on the small guy for this, he is only following the tried and tested examples of how to conduct business, as shown to us small guys by the market leaders.
Good for the goose etc...
Besides Ad agencies are scum mostly, so f*ck em, they ripped his idea now time to make their lawyers earn their retainer.
Fecking stupid
Who the feck would want to drink a virtual pint, albeit from an iPhone, anyway? What would happen if they virtually drank 12 virtual pints? Would they have a bit of virtual sick, go to a virtual pub, pull a virtual fat bird, have a virtual kebab on the way home, do a virtual drunken sex with aforementioned virtual fat bird before waking up in the (virtual) morning with a case of virtual nob rot and a virtual black eye from the virtual fight you had that you can't remember because your virtual memory is virtually blank?
Then you turn off the iPhone and realise you're still alone. Sat in your bedroom of your parents house, tissues thrown across the floor, legs akimbo and crying.
Hold on, that's a bloody good idea (the first bit). I'm off to writes me an iApp.
It wasnt copyrighted?
Reading the articale carefully: It seems as if that copyright holder had only copyrighted the Video of beer not the interactive stuff. Since iPint and iBeer were released at the same time (when the store first opened) then they must have done serperate R&D in order to make the interactive version (which is not copyrighted).
So there is no case to answer for ..
Carling? Refreshing beverage? Shome Mishtake Shurely?
Good case
People, why the negativity? It's an original idea (until proved otherwise) and definitely has some "creative merit", so it meets the requirement for copyright. You might not fancy it but there's some pretty awful published poetry and you wouldn't argue that.
He pretty clearly had his idea ripped off by a large corporation, and it undeniably had some effect on his income (maybe not 12.5m, but someone, somewhere would have bought it). I'd say it's an obvious case of copyright infringement, and Carlings actions after his cease-and-desist would appear to back that up. Good luck to him.
$12.5 million?
At $3 per pint, that'd be just over 4.1 million sales 'lost'.
Are there *really* that many mugs out there?
No, wait. How many *mugs* possess an iPhone again...
@Simon Taylor
>As someone else commented above, Carling tastes like p*ss, is horrible and just made from chemicals.
Name me something that ISN'T made from chemicals?
Away and drink your beardy-weirdy real ale with twigs and mud in it, from your suitably chunky pint glasses with a handle, and leave all the clean, fresh chemical-laden fizzy lager to the fucking experts.
Prior Art
As per Malcolm Hall's post above, it sounds like there is "prior art", therefore he will lose and probably have to pay a fortyune in costs.
I understand why you ask for 12m ... you hope to get at least 1m. A simple case of if you don't ask, you don't get, but in this case I doubt he will get anything. His only possible claim is to have popularised an unoriginal idea, which was later then further exploited by the brewery in question. However, I don't think you can expect to build a business model on just that when the implementation is so trivial and unprotected.
I sympathise slightly, but then I remember that he patented someone else's idea and refused to close a deal with the brewery, at which point every last shred of my sympathies evaporates faster than a pint of alcohol in the middle of the Goabi desert.
Becks Vier...
@a.c 'Gosh there was me'
"No original ideas at all, they just steal;
oohh paper bag floating in the wind, I know I have an idea, no you don't you just saw a bag float in the wind, you are not creative, you are not your fucking khakis, you are the same decaying matter as everything else, you are the all singing dancing crap of the world. Oh and deliver me from Swedish furniture."
I think you may have stolen your rant from Chuck Palahniuk
@Simon Taylor
There are no German purity laws
Becks Vier...
Jesus. The water they use to brew the stuff is a fucking chemical.
Well I like the stuff but that's horses for courses I suppose.
Still, I would & won't *ever* buy an iPhone, never mind the $3 for a silly animation..
@Rob - No german purity laws?
There are no German purity laws
I don't know that you are wrong, but I did see this:
The only good beer related app that should be installed is the classic retro game "Tapper"
My flatmate just recently got an iPhone and I am already sick to the f***ing back teeth of being shown these shit f***ing novelty 'apps'!
iWasteOfBloodyTime indeed!
I mean... Virtual Beer? That is morally indefensible...
That old chestnut.
It's the same bollocks that the record industry trots out. The numbers seem to be based on the assumption that everybody who downloaded the free app would have paid full whack for the other one were the free one not available.
Yeah right, and everybody who got Prince's last album free with their sunday paper would otherwise have rushed out and bought the CD. Pull the other one.
"It's designed to look like the user is drinking a beer, without the hassle of actually consuming a delicious and refreshing beverage." Carling? Delicious?
They must have changed it an awful lot since I last had the misfortune to taste it.
He'll win this
The way the US copyright office works, you can indeed copyright an idea. If he can prove that he was first to market, it's a lock.
Re: Eh?
Good grief, it's called ironic embellishment, you dope.
"It's an original idea (until proved otherwise)"
I don't think the law really works like that, does it? In order to win his $12.5 million bucks he has to prove that he had and original idea and that the ad agency ripped it off. You can't simply assume that he had the original idea because he said he did.
You may as well believe that anybody who is accused of any crime is guilty unless they can prove otherwise. Maybe you do.
@a.c 'Gosh there was me'
"Ad Agencies do copy like the little cats of copying they are. No original ideas at all, they just steal;
oohh paper bag floating in the wind, I know I have an idea, no you don't you just saw a bag float in the wind, you are not creative"
On that basis nobody ever had an original idea. Everything anybody ever created or invented was inspired by prior experiences.
Nobdoy ever invented a machine without seeing something else (another machine, a bit of bovine anatomy, whatever) and thought hey if I took that and added one of these/extended that bit/removed that bit/etc.
Nobody ever wrote tune without hearing some other tune/noise that inspired it.
It's how the human mind works.
Why the icon? It's the one that looks most like a five finger shuffle, kind of apt for your post I thought.
ok but
"I don't think the law really works like that, does it?"
It works that way in English defamation law, doesn't it? If I say that "Anonymous Coward" is a goat-bothering numbskull, and you file suit against me, it's actually up to me to prove that you *have* molested goats and are thick as custard to boot. In other words, the plaintiff has to prove s/he is not guilty of the infraction, which is the opposite way around from usual. IANAL, and I suspect you aren't either, but it could be the same way with copyright.
(incidentally, saying "Anonymous Coward is an X" isn't defamation, because you're anonymous and you can't damage the reputation of an anonymous person. Saying "Tony Blair is a scumbag mofo" isn't either, because common abuse isn't defamation either).
Paris, because she knows her way around the legal system.
@simon taylor
Carling tastes like p*ss.
erm, and you know this, how?
I think you'll find the first accelerometer-driven beer gag was PyPiwo on the N95, which was doing the rounds in early January 2008. This was presumably inspired by the iPhone video gag, which came earlier, I don't know. Oh, hang on, though, I forgot: those millions of Nokias don't count and the few hundred iPhones in the world are the ONLY mobile devices in the world worthy of discussion. How stupid of me.
and the news is ?
What is the difference in concept between, let say...
Microsoft Office vs Open Office?
One you pay for, one is free and close enough to enable a user to recognise and us based on similar functionality and presentation (ok give or take?)
product differentiation and service tends to prevail in markets?
Ah software lawsuits
I read about some of these suits and I can't help but think "i can haz phat moneyz now plz". Due to the sheer fact that some of them are so totally ridiculous.
Give me (and most Germans I know) Haake Beck any time :-)
Re: The German purity law of 1516, there was no "Germany" in 1516.
I'm off for a pint.
@ac - Gosh and there was me
ahahahaha reminds me of:
If lies were cats you'd be a litter...

Jesus. The water they use to brew the stuff is a fucking chemical.

@Throatwobbler Mangrove - Saying "Tony Blair is a scumbag mofo" isn't either, because common abuse isn't defamation either). Isn't truth a defense?
got coat, going now for something to wet whistle
Microsoft Office??? WTF???
So are those posters drawing a comparison between this and MS Office vs OpenOffice claiming that Microsoft owns the copyright on Word Processor software??!?
Carling and the iPhone
Can't see the correlation meself. One's an insipid, tasteless imitation of the real thing, powered by advertising hype and sold to idiot sheep and the other's a beer.

Celebrating One Hundred Years of Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of St. Louis
Since 1912, Catholic Charities has been at the heart of providing the most basic human needs to the least fortunate in this community and beyond. In these especially difficult economic times, the services provided by Catholic Charities are more critical to the lives of the people you serve than at any point in recent history. For many, Catholic Charities is the answer to their prayers. Catholic Charities and those who support its work are the embodiment of Christ to the needy.
Without the support of our friends, our shared mission of providing for those in greatest need would never realize its full potential. Your commitment to caring for the poor, the most vulnerable in our community, makes so much of what we do possible.
Inspired by a century of service, we look forward to another one hundred years of serving those in greatest need and we are grateful to all those who partner with us in our mission.
How Catholic Charities Federated Agencies Were Formed »
In his first encyclical, "God Is Love," Pope Benedict XVI stated that the Church's deepest nature is expressed in its responsibility to do three things—proclaim the Word of God, celebrate the Sacraments, and carry out the ministry of charity. That last point reflects Christ's call to each of us to love our neighbor. It's not as if the Church could leave this social welfare activity to someone else. It's what the Church is. It's her very nature. It is who we are as members of the Church, personified in the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

Client Feedback
Serena Mountain Village - very nice! Tarangire - Great park. Best elephant and lion viewing experiences on the trip. From what I heard from other travelers, I'm glad we chose Tarangire over Lake Maranyara.
Tarangire Treetops - Great lodge, very friendly staff. One of the nicest places we've ever stayed. The night drive was just OK (but I think that was largely due to the fact that Ephata had taken us on a spectacular game drive during the day - so our senses were already overflowing). The walking safari was also just OK. If I had to do it over again, I probably would've stayed at a less upscale lodge inside the park itself, as there was definitely less wildlife around the grounds of our lodge as compared to the lodges we saw in the park.
Driving from one location to another, rather than flying - I met many travelers who flew from Ngorongoro (or wherever) directly to the Northern Serengeti. I also read a few guidebooks stating that flying from spot to spot may have been better. I couldn't disagree more . We saw so much of the country - including spectacular wildlife - while driving that I think it would have been a huge mistake to fly from spot to spot.
Ngorongoro Crater - Spectacular. Ngoronogoro Wildlife Lodge - Obviously just an OK lodge, but the view was fantastic. Glad we stayed on the rim despite the quality of the lodge.
Serengeti Shared Safari Camp - Loved it. Really liked Camp Manager Abu. Food was phenomenal. Just a great experience - amazing the comforts that were provided at this non - permanent camp.
Sayari Lodge - Wonderful, just wonderful. Probably one of the places I will remember all my life. Phenomenal food. Also, kudos to you for putting us in the Northern Serengeti in October - we were able to see two awesome Wildebeest river crossings. Flight from Tanzania to Rwanda (on Coastal Airlines (?)). Excellent. Very smooth and safe. Surprised at how well that went.
Manor Hotel - Good, but took some getting used to after the spectacular places we stayed at in Tanzania. Good location, great view. They gave us a horrible room at first, but moved us when we asked for a different room. Getting the shower to work right was an adventure. Food was good. Drive from Kigali to Nyungwe - Reasonable drive time. Decent lunch at stopover point. I would probably suggest passing on the museums along the way - I would've rather spent my time at either the Kigali Genocide Memorial or at one of the smaller local memo rials on the way.
Nyungwe Forest Lodge - Gorgeous. Probably our second favorite lodge on the trip. Excellent food, nice staff, fantastic rooms. Loved how the rain forest came right up to our room (gave us some good monkey viewing one night). Chimp trek - A LOT harder than we expected. Would suggest only your fittest clients take this trek, as we were literally running up and down muddy hills in the rain forest (with no trails) chasing after the chimps. We were not mentally prepared. Seeing the chimps was very cool though, and my wife now thinks she is an expert hiker as a result of that trek. Colobus Monkey Trek - very cool.
Drive from Nyungwe to Volcanoes - I would recommend you let your clients know that this is a very long drive (9 hours) - we were not mentally prepared for it was quite a rough ride (but the destination ended up being well worth it).
Gorilla Mountain View Lodge - Very basic, as you said. Took some getting used to after all of the great lodges we were in, but in the end we were g lad we stayed there and saved the money. The staff was really wonderful, and the views were great. They just need to work on their bathrooms and the place would be excellent. Food was OK. Golden Monkey Trekking - Good stuff. Gorilla Trekking - What more can be said, an experience of a lifetime. Just fantastic. Not enough superlatives can be said. Drive from Volcanoes to Rwanda - very easy, only 2.5 hours or so. Kigali Memorial Center - Should be mandatory for anyone going to RwanRead More
