In face of the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East and concern with the proliferation of anti-ship missiles to terrorists, the Israel Navy is looking to secure a NIS 3 billion budget to purchase new missile ships needed to protect the state's growing economic waters.The IDF General Staff recently approved the navy's request to purchase four new vessels that it will use to deploy at gas rigs that are under construction in the Mediterranean Sea and expected to begin operations in 2013. The request is now pending government approval. The navy is looking to purchase four 1,200-ton vessels which will be required to accommodate an advanced radar system, a helicopter as well as a launch system capable of firing long-range air defense and surface-to-surface missiles.OC Navy Adm. Ram Rothberg said that the navy needed the new ships to effectively protect the state's economic waters, the gas rigs and the pipelines that will carry the gas to Israelis shores."The size of the gas reservoirs is larger than the size of the State of Israel and has significant consequences for how we operate and how we grow," Rothberg told reporters during a briefing on the INS Lahav, one of the navy's Sa'ar 5-class corvettes. "The main solution is to be present in the area to protect the rigs and ensure that the gas reaches Israel."The navy is also considering deploying missile interceptors on the gas rigs to protect them from surface-to- surface missiles as well as anti-ship missiles. Alternatively, if a ship, equipped with the Barak missile defense system is deployed nearby, it will be able to protect gas rigs from incoming missiles.
As reported Sunday in The Jerusalem Post, the navy is also looking to install short-and long-range surface-to-surface missiles on new vessels to assist large IDF ground offensives either in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon or Syria. The missiles could be used to attack enemy installations – bases or radar stations – and to provide fire support for ground forces.Rothberg said that the navy had increased its training over the past year and was focusing on improving its interoperability with the IDF's other branches – particularly the air force and the ground forces."The navy will play a critical role on any front, or war," he said.The navy is specifically concerned with the proliferation of anti-ship missiles throughout the region. During the Second Lebanon War in 2006, a Hezbollah-fired anti-ship missile hit the INS Hanit, killing four sailors and causing extensive damage to the ship. The navy said that an Iranian radar-guided missile operated by Hezbollah hit the ship.Since then, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have also tried to obtain anti-ship missiles, demonstrated by the navy's seizure of the Victoria cargo ship in 2011, which was carrying Iranian C-704 anti-ship missiles bound for Gaza.In addition, the navy is concerned with Syria's recent purchase of the Russian Yakhont anti-ship missile, which could be transferred to Hezbollah. Syria already tested the Yakhont in recent maneuvers and the missile is said to have a range of about 300 km."The navy has learned the lessons of the Second Lebanon War and is today prepared for every front and threat against any enemy in any place and at any time," Rothberg said. "The Yakhont is a significant weapon and the navy knows how to provide a response for all different missile threats on every possible front."

The Royal Fort House is a historic house in Tyndalls Park, Bristol. The building currently houses the University of Bristol's Institute for Advanced Studies, Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research and the Cabot Institute.
The house was constructed on the site of a Civil War fortification, which had two bastions on the inside of the lines and three on the outside. It was the strongest part of the defences of Bristol, designed by Dutch military engineer Sir Bernard de Gomme. It was one of the few purpose-built defensive works of the war era. The fort was designed as the western headquarters of the Royalist army under Prince Rupert.[1] Royalists retreated into the fort when the Parliamentarians had broken through the lines in the siege of 1645, before eventually surrendering to Cromwell's forces.[2]
The fort was demolished around 1655. The "Royal" in the name was in honour of Prince Rupert, when he was made Governor of Bristol.[3] An archaeological investigation in 2009 discovered a defence ditch, two bastions and the possible foundations of a defensive wall on the summit of St Michaels' Hill.[1][4]
The design of the mid-eighteenth-century house by James Bridges, for Thomas Tyndall KCB, was a compromise between the separate designs of architects Thomas Paty, John Wallis and himself. This led to different classical styles: Baroque, Palladian and Rococo, for three of the facades of the house.[5] It was built between 1758 and 1761, by Thomas Paty with plasterwork by Thomas Stocking.
A later Colonel Thomas Tyndall employed Humphry Repton from 1799[6] to landscape the gardens which form a small part of Tyndall's Park, which extended to Whiteladies Road in the west, Park Row in the south and Cotham Hill to the north.[7] Over the years large parts of the park were sold for housing development, as the site for the Bristol Grammar School, purchased in 1877, and only a small part of the original area remains, as Royal Fort Gardens. The siting of drives in the Royal Fort park is still reflected in street plans today.
The current stone gatehouse, built in the Victorian era and known as the Royal Fort Lodge, stands at the entrance to the driveway leading to Royal Fort House. It currently houses the University of Bristol security services.[8]
The house has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.[9]
Royal Fort Gardens[edit]
The Royal Fort Gardens adjoin the house. They are surrounded by an old high wall, and contain a small pond, and a memorial.
It is now owned by the University of Bristol, who were given the estate as a gift by Henry Herbert Wills[10] of the Bristol tobacco company W. D. & H. O. Wills. For many years it housed the university's Music Department (which in 1996 moved to the Victoria Rooms), then became a conference and banqueting venue, and now houses the university's Faculty of Science, the Institute for Advanced Studies, the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research and the Cabot Institute.

Pablo Sandoval left money on table to sign with Red Sox
When Pablo Sandoval signed with the Boston Red Sox earlier this offseason, it came as a bit of a shock, considering Sandoval's history with the Giants and the reports that San Francisco had made him a better offer than what he ended up getting from Boston.
On a Tuesday appearance on MLB Network radio, Sandoval confirmed that he didn't let the Giants make the final offer, and...

Ann Romney and Michelle Obama at Presidential Debate Two
Matching Michelle Obama and Ann Romney Support Husbands at Debate
Who wore it best? First Lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney both showed their support for their husbands at the second presidential debate donning "PopSugar pink." The president even flashed a bit of pink, as he appeared to be wearing a pink bracelet in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Michelle and Ann may have chosen a good color for tonight's more women-friendly debate than the first one. In addition to Candy Crowley moderating — the first female to do so in 20 years — Obama and Romney addressed women's issues including fair pay and health care. See who some may call the candidates' better halves, Michelle and Ann, supporting their men from the audience at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY, now. And be sure to check out our live presidential debate postshow later tonight!

Grid Computing Efforts Fight Avian Flu
Grid Computing Efforts Fight Avian Flu
Stacy Lawrence
Posted 2006-05-04
Several major grid computing systems are applying their combined power to find effective candidates against a common research target in the most prevalent and harmful type of avian flu.
Over the last few months, a number of major international grid computing collaborations have been working to uncover more effective treatments for avian flu. Scientists are focusing on a particular research target in the strain of avian flu known as H5N1. In April in the United States, The Rothberg Institute for Childhood diseases released the avian influenza target for H5N1 to the
distributed computing project Drug Design and Optimization Lab
, or D2OL. This information allows the D2OL software to model target proteins identified from the avian flu and then to simulate the binding of drug molecules with these targets to identify promising combinations that can potentially inhibit important disease pathways. The process is like searching through a collection of keys (drug candidates) to find the one that will fit a specific lock (target protein). D2OL was already working to discover potential drug candidates against Anthrax, smallpox, Ebola, SARS and other infectious diseases. The grid computing effort has examined over 1 million potential treatment candidates and continues to proceed at the rate of more than 30,000 candidates a day.
Can IT handle an avian flu pandemic?

The project claims to be the first to use computational methods to deploy targets against these major infectious diseases. The research community is growing rapidly and currently comprises nearly 80,000 volunteers and their computers in 93 countries. As with some other grids, it works through the download of a free software application that contributes idle computer time to research. Of all avian flu viruses that have infected humans, Avian Influenza A, or H5N1, has been found to be the most prevalent and harmful to human health. It is, therefore, the most likely of the avian flu viruses to mutate sufficiently to facilitate person-to-person infection, and the world continues to monitor avian flu hotbeds in Asia and Europe for the potential nucleus of a worldwide H5N1 pandemic. The first avian flu target released for the D2OL project is the H5N1 neuraminidase, which aids in the pathology and spread of the disease.
For businesses, now is a good time to panic aboutor at least plan foran avian flu pandemic.

Over the last month, another major grid effort harnessing computing resources in Europe also started work on the same H5N1 avian flu target. The project harnessed three existing European grid infrastructures, including
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
(EGEE), an academic project bringing together the scientific computing power of over 90 research institutions in more than 30 countries. Funded by the European Commission, the EGEE grid consists of over 30,000 CPUs available to users 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The system is able to simultaneously maintain 10,000 concurrent jobs on average. A collaboration of Asian and European laboratories is using this international grid to analyze 300,000 possible drug components against the Asian flu virus. Two thousand computers were used during Aprilthe equivalent of 100 years on a single computer. More than 60,000 output files with a data volume of 600GB were created. Potential drug compounds against the avian flu are now being identified and ranked. "The grid is useful for any kind of research that needs lots of computing power. In this case, its greatly speeded up a step in the search for drugs against avian flu," said Professor Tony Doyle, project leader for the United Kingdom particle physics grid, which contributes computing power from 11 universities.

Recovery Act:
Thousands of Recovery Act Contract and Grant Recipients Owe Hundreds of Millions in Federal Taxes
GAO-11-686T: Published: May 24, 2011. Publicly Released: May 24, 2011.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses the results of our most recent report, which we are releasing today, on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) contract and grant recipients that owe federal taxes. Collectively, individuals, businesses, and other entities owed the U.S. government about $330 billion in known unpaid taxes, including interest and penalties, as of September 30, 2010, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). IRS enforcement of the nation's tax laws continues to be on our High-Risk List. The Recovery Act appropriated $275 billion to be distributed for federal contracts, grants, and loans. According to http://www.Recovery.gov (Recovery.gov) data on federal spending, as of March 25, 2011, about $191 billion of that amount had been paid out. As far back as 1992, we have said that Congress should consider whether tax compliance should be a prerequisite for receiving a federal contract. Federal law does not prohibit the awarding of contracts or grants to entities because they owe federal taxes and does not permit IRS to disclose taxpayer information, including unpaid federal taxes, to federal agencies unless the taxpayer consents. Because of the potential that some Recovery Act recipients also have unpaid federal taxes you asked us to investigate this issue. This statement is based on our most recent report regarding tax delinquent federal contractors and grantees. Our report and my statement address two issues: (1) the magnitude of known tax debt owed by Recovery Act contract and grant recipients; and (2) examples of Recovery Act contract and grant recipients who have known unpaid federal taxes. To determine, to the extent possible, the magnitude of known tax debt owed by Recovery Act contract and grant recipients, we identified contract and grant recipients from Recovery.gov and compared them to known tax debts as of September 30, 2009, from IRS.
We found the following: (1) Thousands of Recovery Act contract and grant recipients owe hundreds of millions in federal taxes: At least 3,700 Recovery Act contract and grant recipients--including prime recipients, subrecipients, and vendors--are estimated to owe more than $750 million in known unpaid federal taxes as of September 30, 2009, and received over $24 billion in Recovery Act funds. This represented nearly 5 percent of the approximately 80,000 contractors and grant recipients in the data from Recovery.gov as of July 2010 that we reviewed. The estimated amount of known unpaid federal taxes is likely understated because IRS databases do not include amounts owed by recipients who have not filed tax returns or understated their taxable income and for which IRS has not assessed tax amounts due. In addition, our analysis does not include Recovery Act contract and grant recipients who are noncompliant with or not subject to Recovery Act reporting requirements. Our analysis also does not include contract and grant recipients that were not registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Because Recovery.gov does not contain taxpayer identification numbers (TIN), we used CCR to identify the TIN for each contract and grant recipient. We were not able to match about 17,000 of the 80,000 recipients in Recovery.gov to the CCR database. As such, those 17,000 recipients were not included in our analysis. (2) Examples of Recovery Act recipients with unpaid federal taxes engaged in abusive or potentially criminal activity: For the 15 cases we selected for further review, we found abusive or potentially criminal activity, i.e., recipients had failed to remit payroll taxes to IRS. Federal law requires employers to hold payroll tax money "in trust" before remitting it to IRS. Failure to remit payroll taxes can result in civil or criminal penalties under U.S. law. The amount of unpaid taxes associated with these case studies were about $40 million, ranging from approximately $400,000 to over $9 million. IRS has taken collection or enforcement activities (e.g., filing of federal tax liens) against all 15 of these recipients. Our analysis and investigation found that only 1 of these 15 Recovery Act recipients was subject to the new Federal Acquisition Regulation requirement for certification of tax debts in relation to their Recovery Act awards. Because that contractor was current on its repayment agreement, the contractor was not required to disclose its tax debts. The other 14 recipients were grant recipients or contract subrecipients. However, 1 of the 14 companies that recently filed an Online Representations and Certifications Application improperly stated that the company had not been notified of any delinquent federal taxes (greater than $3,000) within the preceding 3 years. We did not identify any circumstances (e.g., current repayment agreement) that would allow the company to make such certification. We have referred all 15 recipients to IRS for further investigation, if warranted.

From the outside, passers-by might mistake The Abingdon for a pub, but these days, real ale and darts have been replaced by piano jazz, floral sofas and other trappings of a neighbourhood wine bar/restaurant. Only the battered wood floor remains from its previous life, with high-backed leather stools and dining booths now forming the backbone of the swanky interiors. The place attracts a hard core of affluent, middle-aged Kensington locals who are happy to shell out for starters of roasted kohlrabi and caramelised red-onion tarte Tatin with seared goats' cheese followed by pan-fried organic salmon with confit new-season vegetables and sorrel sauce, or slow-roast beef fillet with Lyonnaise potatoes and horseradish cream. The kitchen clearly knows its stuff, while a judicious pick from the global wine list needn't break the bank.

Eastern CurlewImage: Ian Burton-TarrantSource: Ian Burton-Tarrant
Museum specimen featured in the Wild exhibitionSource: Museum Victoria
Type: bird
Eastern Curlew populations are declining in eastern Australia. The conservation of this species is truly a global effort, since their migration takes them through many regions. In Victoria, habitat is disappearing because of drought, for example around the Gippsland Lakes. Pollution of waterways and human disturbance also impacts upon these birds.
Eastern Curlews are carnivores.
They feed on crabs, worms, molluscs and insects.
Size relative to a sparrow and a cat.
Eastern Curlews are the largest of the migratory wading birds, all of which live in costal areas and have long legs and a long bill. Their bills can be over 18 cm long and are used to pluck prey from the muddy shallows. They forage for crabs, molluscs and other invertebrates during the day and night.
These birds migrate huge distances every year, according to the season. They fly continuously for two or three days, then stop in wetlands to rest and feed before continuing. In the northern summer they breed in Russia and north-eastern China in bogs and swamps. They lay four eggs in a nest among reeds in June or July. Young Eastern Curlews feed themselves by catching mosquitoes and other insects. By late July or August, Eastern Curlews depart for the southern hemisphere. Large numbers reach the eastern coast of Australia by September, where they remain until late February or March.
The plumage of Eastern Curlews is mottled brown with a distinctive pale underwing and barred flight feathers that are visible while they are in flight. Their wing beats are slow and steady, and they make a loud melancholy call that rises in pitch, sounding like 'cuuuur-lee'.
Eastern Curlews
Eastern Curlews are found throughout coastal Australia (mainly in the north-east and south) after migrating from the northern hemisphere. They are widespread in coastal areas including mudflats, estuaries, swamps and shorelines.

In Twelve Angry Men, for what reasons do all but one of the jurors believe the young man is guilty?
1 Answer | Add Yours
They mainly believe that the young man is guilty for circumstantial and stereotypical reasons. The young man had a history of fighting. That night, the suspect had a big fight with his father where, when he left, he was heard shouting that he'd kill him. The lady across the train said she saw him do it, and the neighbor down the hall said he saw him running away after the murder. He had recently bought a knife that looked like the one used to kill his father, and he no longer could produce it. The suspect had no verifiable proof that he was at the movie theaters, as claimed. Essentially, he was a victim of bad-timing -- he was a troubled kid, with a troubled past, and couldn't prove that he didn't commit the crime, so most assumed that he did.

Last week some friends and I took a break from our respective creative pursuits and indulged in a craft beer tasting at the cozy, speak-easy themed craft beer bar Idle Hands in NYC. Naturally, the topic of packaging, specifically wine and beer labels came up. Yes, this is what designers talk about when they "let loose." So I made mental note when our brewery representative called attention to the awesome label design for 21st Amendment's Back in Black IPA,... CONTINUE READING
The Graphic & Web Designer Team Process – Striving for Website Development That Works
Developing a website, even a small one, can easily turn into a daunting task without some sort of documented process in place. There are those sites that require little more than a designer sitting in front of their monitor tapping out some html and css. Other sites can involve an army of team members from graphic designers to coders, photographers to writers and a host of others in between. What they share, or at least should, is a process...

I think you my be right. It is looking like 5s might get the numbers we are after and still keep the rpm down below the 16x8 four bladed props safety limit of 8,000 rpm. I do not have any 5s nor do I have any large 2s to parallel with my 3s. So it's 2 blade props unless I borrow some 5s at Vegas and try the big props. We'll know more after the first flight and I will sit down to decide which direction to go when I get back. If it flies well and looks as good doing it that I think it will, I'm not against a total change in motors and speed controls to use these props. I believe it would be worth it. I need to hustle tomorrow and try to have everything ready to load for when Hans gets here. Time is swiftly running out. J |

Next weekend, Oct 12-14.
Hope no one expects a great looking airplane from the 119. I have officially run out of time. It has numerous cosmetic fixes to be done, wing saddle needs redone, a whole lot of details yet to be added and I have some ideas on painting it that I want to try. All that work will take a long time and it will be nice to see if we can get it flying before I bury myself in it. I did rebalance it today with those heavy wheels in the retracted position. They weigh so much that it would affect the CG quite a bit. I had to move those big batts about 3" forward so I know she will be nose heavy on takeoff. Plus I am going to come up with a solution that utilizes those gorgeous 4 blade props. I love the look and will change motors and escs if I have to. And added bonus is that once the solution is found it will power the A-1 too. But first we have o get them both maidened. I will have my fingers crossed! J |

New Berlin clears trampoline park in Zilber building
Plans for a 25,000-square-foot indoor trampoline park gained approval Monday in New Berlin in a building Zilber Property Group began building in August.
The Helium Trampoline Park would have interconnected trampolines, dodgeball courts, a half-pipe and foam pit. It marks the first tenant for Milwaukee-based Zilber Property Group's 54,100-square-foot building at 16235 W. Beloit Road in the Towne Corporate Park of New Berlin.
The New Berlin Plan Commission approved the indoor park Monday night, granting the only approval needed.
Helium Trampoline would have about 10 employees and could accommodate 135 visitors at a time, according to documents provided to the city of New Berlin. In response to questions regarding the safety of such facilities, Steve Steidl, who would operate the park, noted in a Dec. 26 letter that the injury rate at trampoline parks is .0023.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jets forwards among cellar-dwellers in payroll, goals scored
Those at the edge of the bandwagon and ready to jump off as well as those cursing up a blue streak over the Winnipeg Jets' lack of offensive finish should keep one thing in mind before they say or do anything more that they'll regret.
You get what you pay for.
And right now, an easy survey of NHL salaries and payrolls reveals something fairly predictable: Winnipeg is in the bottom three of the 30-team league in terms of what the team has shelled out for forwards.
The Jets' cap hit for their collection of forwards is $25.48 million and only the Carolina Hurricanes and Phoenix Coyotes had smaller cap hits, barely, for their forwards groups as of Monday. And if you simply considered Monday's active rosters for those respective teams, the Jets would be at the bottom because left-winger Evander Kane, out seven games with a concussion, is a $3-million cap hit and was on the injured-reserve list.
Kane may return tonight when the Jets face the Toronto Maple Leafs at the MTS Centre (7:30 p.m., TSN Jets, TSN 1290) but only a fool would think that's going to solve the matter of Winnipeg's sagging offence.
With an average of 2.39 goals per game and falling, the Jets are now among the five lowest-scoring teams in the NHL.
Since scoring a whopping three goals in an overtime shootout loss to Florida on Jan. 21, they have accumulated five regulation goals in their last six games.
The lack of forward payroll isn't necessarily by design, however predictable the production might be.
The transplanted Atlanta Thrashers were not known to be a big goals machine, at 2.8 goals per game over the last two seasons, and the club is little-changed that way for 2011-12 in Winnipeg.
GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has said repeatedly he would do nothing hastily and wanted time this season to assess all areas of the team.
All of that said, money is not the simple solution to the problem.
Handing out raises will not bring more goals this week or next.
And no, before you bring it up, the Jets did not re-up captain Andrew Ladd over the summer -- to the tune of $22 million over five years -- so he would start filling nets around the league.
Simply acquiring more expensive players is another superficial idea that nobody at True North, including Cheveldayoff, is likely to try.
It's not the most pleasant news to discover, if indeed discover is the right word, but at least the new Jets brass is learning what's in the stable.
Jets coach Claude Noel said as much on Monday.
"This is another level, since the all-star break and even after Christmas," Noel said. "For example, your top line, can they produce at the level they were before? They're getting more attention. They're getting more physicality, so now that puts stress on other lines, and can they step it up? You're starting to see how it goes.
"You can't function at the same rate. You're getting less power plays per game. It's great. It's what we need to see and learn."
Noel wasn't a man without hope on Monday, however.
He said there's "always ways to win games," and mentioned the world resiliency.
"If you don't have enough, you become reliant on the group," the coach said. "That's how you have to play."
One obvious solution is that the Jets would spend money to reward production but, so far, there's been precious little of that on the current roster. In particular, Kane's second contract, which will be negotiated this summer, will have a lot to do with how the rest of this season goes.
The exact fit of any player and the overall organizational structure to remain a franchise somewhere near the middle of the NHL's allowed salary range are priorities for Cheveldayoff.
He might have some money to spend in the days preceding the league's trading deadline or at the next free-agency window, but high skill and pure offence are not items you just choose on the store shelves.
Besides, the Jets already have some of those.
Just at another position.
Winnipeg, on a percentage of payroll, was No. 1 in the NHL according to a recent list in The Hockey News in terms of money spent on defencemen, with more than 42 per cent of the payroll spent for that position.
Currently, the Jets have a $22.7-million cap hit for their blue-line. Only Philadelphia and the L.A. Kings have a higher hit for 2011-12, but keep in mind the Flyers' number includes Chris Pronger's $4.9 million cap hit and he's out for the season.
And it's worth saying here that money spent is no sure-fire road to winning.
Look at this season's Columbus Blue Jackets ($38.670 million spent on forwards) or Buffalo Sabres ($40.834) or Montreal Canadiens ($36.275 million) if you need evidence.
It's matching or exceeding the value to the money spent that's the magic combination in the NHL. One day or one trade or one contract worth of action never makes that happen.
