"If I got the means to do it, I will do it," Phillip said.
"Even if you are breaking the law?" asked his lawyer, James Davis Jr.
"Well, if it comes down to feeding my family, yes," Phillip answered.
A radio report from KYUK in Bethel made me pull over the Subaru this week. I was listening to the story of Bethel fishermen being prosecuted by the state of Alaska for subsistence fishing during a state-ordered closure.
This was Les Misérables, Alaskanized. Last summer these Native fishermen defied a fishery closure to catch salmon to feed their families. The Yup'ik believe it's their duty to harvest the fish, that salmon (and all animals) present themselves to the people, and will be offended if they are rejected. It's a religious philosophy centered on Ellam Yua, the spirit of the universe.
Translators were needed for some testimony, but the men's defense boiled down to freedom of religion. It wasn't their words about the value of subsistence that struck me as much as it was the emotion in their voices. They were defending thousands of years of life -- a really tough life in a place a long way from Costco.
The judge agreed that the men had a religious connection to the fish, but found them guilty because the state's interest was more important. They were fined and sentenced to probation. They are appealing.
The state has pushed this case. God knows how much time and money has been spent to prosecute a couple dozen rural Alaskans trying to feed their families. This is a priority for law enforcement?
The decision to put the burden of poor salmon returns on the backs of susbsistence users seems misplaced, to put it mildly.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are real fish pirates in Alaska. We've even caught one or two.
For example, Sen. Lisa Murkowski kept fish rustler Arne Fuglvog on the job -- helping make federal fish policy -- even after he pleaded guilty. She defended that decision by saying he was innocent until proven guilty. I'm not a lawyer like her, but it seems to me that once someone pleads guilty, we can stop presuming their innocence.
So Fuglvog was fined and did some time in prison. He got out and started a business. Doing what, you ask. Making license plates or running a laundry? No, he's a lobbyist for some big Seattle-based fishing companies. (Note that Arne reversed the usual progression from lobbyist to inmate.)
Earlier this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's enforcement office charged American Seafoods, a Seattle-based operator of catcher/processors, with fixing the scales on which they weighed fish.
Last year they were issued a Notice of Violation and Assessment for the same thing. The penalty? It may run about $1.3 million -- considerably less than they made by cheating.
In the meantime, Cora Campbell, our commissioner of Fish and Game, nods and smiles and "what-me-worries?" about the 60,000 king salmon "accidentally" caught in the Bering Sea -- 60,000 king salmon, folks, not 60,000 pounds of king salmon.
Think about that. The traditional Alaska subsistence take of Yukon kings is about 50,000 fish. Corporations are allowed to waste more kings than that. But we prosecute First Alaskans for trying to put them on the dinner table.
In an attempt to make the waste seem benevolent, Bering Sea processors passed on almost half a million pounds of the fish to food banks in Washington.
The bycatch bypassed Alaskans. So maybe you're saying to yourself, "Hey, just give the bycatch salmon to the folks on the river and it's all good!"
But that won't fill the need described by the fishermen on trial in Bethel. It's not just about food, it's about purpose and family and connection to the land.
The state sees the salmon as "a resource" to be "managed" and sold. First Alaskans see salmon as one reason they've been able to exist here. Salmon may not have a special place in my religion, but that doesn't mean they aren't spiritually important for others.
Subsistence fishermen shouldn't be prosecuted for gathering food that corporations are allowed to waste.

Drew Beckie, a Canadian citizen, is making a difference in U.S. soccer. He recently accepted an offer from Denver University.
Soccer players are used to yellow and red cards.
For Drew Beckie, the key to a soccer scholarship came in the form of a green card.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo., resident is a Canadian citizen who has verbally committed to Denver University.
"I've been here 11 years on a green card," Beckie said. "I thought about [getting U.S. citizenship], but there seems no need for me to do it. ... A green card is good for 10 years and I just renewed it last year."
Beckie is part of a strong Class of 2009 DU recruiting class that includes Beckie's club teammate, Alex Tarnoczi, who led his Colorado high school team, Rock Canyon, into the FAB 50 fall boys' soccer rankings, and Tulsa's Josh Wren.
"My main goal was to play soccer in college in the U.S.," Beckie said. "I had other choices, but I like [Denver coach] Bobby [Muuss] and the staff, and I really want to be a part of something big. I think they are going in the right direction."
After starting 0-3, Denver rallied for a 10-7-2 season in 2008, a season which also included a Mountain Pacific Sport Federation title and an NCAA Tournament appearance.
At Arapahoe (Littleton, Colo.) this past fall, Beckie, who had a stint with the Canadian under-17 national team, earned first-team All-State honors. He plays for the Real Colorado U18 Academy team.
He projects as a defender or defensive midfielder at DU. Real Colorado club coach Kevin Fickes said Beckie, who played basketball until being convinced that his future lies in soccer, is an exceptional athlete who strikes the ball well.
Beckie recorded 12 caps with the Canadian youth national team. Although he had not lived in Canada for a decade, his residency made him eligible and a local coach in Denver knew the Canadian under-17 coach at the time, and helped make the connection, Beckie said.
"I went to the Copa Chivas tournament in January of 2007 with Canada," he said. "I went to three camps and made the qualifying team."
"The fact that he played in matches -- played full matches -- helped his game," Fickes said. "He came back (from the Canadian experience) a lot more confident."
The current Canadian under-20 roster pool is in residency with the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Beckie thinks his Canadian international career is finished -- at least for now.
Beckie came to the U.S. from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, when his father took a job transfer that landed the family in the Denver area.
Quick Kicks:
Favorite Soccer Moment: "Playing Mexico in Mexico City with 10,000 fans. It was a great atmosphere. Even though we lost, it was exciting to be part of something like that."
Beckie was playing for the Canadian under-17 team when the squad played a friendly in Mexico City. Canada took a 1-0 lead before falling 2-1.
Favorite Goal: "Last year at the Development Academy Summer Showcase [in Greensboro, N.C.] against CASL, I scored the first goal. It was a free kick at the left side of the 18. I bent it in."

You always make false promises? - 1am-11am patch? it's past 11:00am? Server's are still unavailable, happens almost every patch. Seriously respect the appointments you make for us and for yourself. - Do you guys ever pay attention to champion feedback? nerfing champs that dont' need to be nerfed etc. not buffing champs that need to be buffed etc.. - 2 months ago a trailer comes out saying monkey king comes out soon? when is soon? what does soon mean to you? why do waste yours and our time releasing ****ty champs like yorick when you can release monkey king? Some will rate my post down and reply 'this is a free game, appreciate the staff and blah blah go outside' but let me tell you something, the 'free logo/campaign' is a marketing/economic strategy. the game in many ways produce incentive for players to pay, and some of us players do pay either for personal gains or simply to support so all we expect is some decent service edit: to reply to some people, yes, Riot is a business, and we expect it to act like a business, to be professional. Notices on 15-hour downtime ahead of time, and appointments on time, not 3 hours later with servers up and still having problems.We players chose league of legends, we have the choice of placing our loyalties else where e.g. Heroes of Newerth, where there they at least give notice ahead of time for maintenance. And so when we choose league of legends over other games, we just want a mutual respect between the players and the developers? edit: another post where someone made a valid point, yes some of us do work, that's why time is so important. I also rarely get the chance to play, so when we do get the day off and got on to play at 11am as Riot originally posted, and game is prolonged till 3 pm? another 4 hours? it's just rediculous we have busy schedules as well trying to make time to play and not be able to is frustrating.
I dont care about Monkey King btw, Leona seems way more necessary to the game imo.
Junior Member
Hope Riot read it....
i was bummed when i came on at 11 pdt and servers were still down
Longer than anticipated patch > rushed patch that's buggy/bring stability on PvP.net down. Patience young grasshopper
When they showed the Monkey Kind vid, they said it was for a champion appearing way down the line. Looks to me they're operating as they promised there
Aria Sachou
Riot is a company and the company is made up of humans. They're not perfect and not to mention some of the riot employees are college students. They have studies and still manage to juggle around their employment schedule as well as their exams. Their world doesn't revolve around the game, and neither should yours. Now I would tell you go get some fresh air but seeing as you don't want to I'll tell you this 1. they're already doing their best and if thats not enough for you your standards are too high. Running and working for a company takes more then just "do this do that" it actually takes effort, and problems will arise. Be patient, and don't get angry over some postponed updates. 2. thank you for supporting riot but their still trying to tweak out the games interface, contents etcetc, you cannot expect them to be doing everything at once. Not to mention just because you buy something from them doesn't mean they should wait on you hand and foot. 3. there are other games out there too. 4. stop swearing, it doesn't support your cause. Respect and patience can earn better support then anger and mob-styled ranting
Glad everything you do always runs exactly how you plan when your dealing with your multi-million dollar company....That must be quite the accomplishment! You do have a multi-million dollar company right? A small business? A job? ....... Seriously **** does happen, not just to you or me but to riot to. Omg severs aren't up yet, END OF THE WORLD!!!!1!!!1!!! As for monkey king? Seriously? ill have to agree with Y0shi0 monkey king looks like **** compared to Leona. Also going outside is clearly overrated with it being 111 degrees out. Also besides mindless complaining what was the point in the post of this thread to start with?

Guide to the Decision-Making Tool
for Evaluating Passenger
ACRP Report 41 was developed as part of ACRP Project 10-07 and is a companion to the
Decision-Making Tool for Evaluating Passenger Self-Tagging on the CD-ROM bound into this
report. The report and tool complement the work underway by the International Air Trans-
portation Association (IATA) and the Airport Council International-North America (ACI-NA)
to produce a passenger self-tagging implementation guide. This report and tool will help United
States (U.S.) airports and airlines evaluate the progress of self-tagging, as TSA-supported pilot
programs are expected to begin in late 2010 to 2011. In preparing this report, every effort was
made to present the material in a simple, easy-to-follow style. Readers (and ultimately users) of
this report should be able to
· Achieve a good understanding of the passenger self-tagging process,
· Gain knowledge as to the various means and methods being tested,
· Receive a customized objective analysis of the impacts and benefits of passenger self-tagging,
· Obtain information to help make a business case document for passenger self-tagging much
more valuable and quantitative, and
· Produce concrete results regarding the planning for self-tagging.
This report provides detailed analysis of the three process steps surrounding passenger self-
tagging. These steps include when passengers (1) enter the airport, (2) proceed to self service
check-in, and (3) continue through baggage drop off and baggage acceptance. This report also
provides guidance on issues related to off-site check-in, baggage handling, and passenger flow
analysis at resultant process points, such as at security checkpoints.
This report enables readers to educate themselves on the background of passenger self-service
and with the issues and opportunities of passengers self-tagging. Chapter 1 provides a historical
look at the evolution of passenger self-tagging, along with a brief analysis of how the passenger self-
tagging process relates to common use and exclusive use processes. Chapter 2 provides a detailed
summary of the research approach taken by the team to obtain and validate existing passenger self-
tagging processes throughout the world. Chapter 3 includes a synthesis of the research findings.
Chapter 4 includes a listing of the next steps for readers to consider in evaluating the viabil-
ity and implementation of a passenger self-tagging process. A detailed listing and description
of all research findings can be found in Appendix A to this report, available as Web-Only Doc-
ument 10 at http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/164162.aspx.
The conclusions or results of this research were the development of the Decision-Making Tool,
which helps readers to actively and effectively make self-tagging decisions. Included in Chapter 5
of this Report is a user guide for the Decision-Making Tool. The companion to this report is the
CD-ROM bound within containing the spreadsheet tools that make up the Decision-Making Tool.
OCR for page 1
2 Guide to the Decision-Making Tool for Evaluating Passenger Self-Tagging
The Decision-Making Tool comprises two specific spreadsheet components: the Assessment Tool
and the Simulation Tool.
· The Assessment Tool provides qualitative information required to understand the scope of
the potential self-tagging initiative. It also allows users to input data that describe an airport's
unique characteristics, business drivers, and operating environment and produces an Assess-
ment Report that details the appropriate strategies, prerequisites to implementation, and pros
and cons of self-tagging.
· The Simulation Tool provides users with quantitative information required to understand the
impact of the potential self-tagging initiative on passenger processing. It allows users to input
data that describe the specific passenger processing environment to be simulated, including
processor throughput times, resource availability, flight information, passenger demographics,
and physical space allocation.
Also included on the CD-ROM is an audio/visual user guide tutorial for the Decision-Making
Intended Audience
This report and Decision-Making Tool are designed to help the airport community assess
the impact and benefits of self-tagging. It addresses many different subjects and specialties,
such as planning, finance, operations, and airport systems. It is intended to be shared across
different departments, enabling the various responsible parties to contribute. The subjects are
organized and presented to facilitate a team approach. This report and Decision-Making Tool
provide a baseline/foundation for readers, who are expected to include, but are not limited to
the following:
· Airport directors;
· Airport department leaders and operators;
· Airline department leaders and operators;
· Airport and airline planners;
· Aviation industry associations;
· Consultants and other specialists in the baggage handling and sortation areas and related fields;
· Regulatory Agencies responsible for setting policy, defining standards, and considering the
security-related issues involved with passenger self-tagging; and
· Other aviation professionals that may be affected by the change in passenger flow resulting
from passenger self-tagging, such as ground handlers and concessionaires.
Evolution of Passenger Involvement in the Self-Service
Check-in Process
The evolutionary development of self-service provides an appropriate background for this
report. Figure 1 presents a timeline of events that have led to the industry's current expansion
of self-service trends, including, most recently, passenger self-tagging.

Regional Integrated Planning Update: April 2012 Newsletter
The All Hazards Consortium would like to provide you with another a brief update on some of its integrated planning initiative programs, projects and activities within the Mid-Atlantic and North East Regions.
March was a very active month for everyone. We did not issue a March update but have combined the March & April updates into this issue.
Private sector owner/operators should take particular notice to the new FEMA training in Item #2 below on public/private partnerships. The AHC also encourages the vendor community to participate in this training and share this newsletter/link with their commercial customers/clients to help support the efforts of educating all industry stakeholders large and small to the importance and value proposition of public/private partnerships.
Initiatives, Products & Projects:
1) NEW Eastern Urban Area Executive Committee (EUAEC)
As the states and urban areas of the AHC began working with the private sector owner/operators in 2011, several new corridor related projects emerged in the areas of ports security, rail security and catastrophic planning that required a broader coordination across the region, particularly between the major cities of Washington DC, and New York City.
In 2011 the urban areas of Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey and Philadelphia decided to form a regional executive level working group to help coordinate these types of regional corridor efforts to leverage the collective efforts and investments of government and the private sector on specific projects and initiatives.
Following several planning meetings of a small steering committee, an initial meeting was conducted in December, 2011, which brought together the urban areas of New York City, Nothern New Jersey, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. along with FEMA (Headquarters, Region 2 & Region 3) and the state emergency management directors in Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. The collective group agreed to work together on integrated planning issues surrounding catastrophic planning and improving coordinated engagement and outreach to the owners and operators of the region's critical infrastructure.
The group will be called the Eastern Urban Area Executive Committee (EUAEC) and will consist of a steering committee and general committee members comprised of the leadership in the urban areas, states and federal partners from DHS/FEMA.
2) NEW Public / Private Partnerships Training Course by FEMA
Attention private sector businesses owners and operators!!!
Is your business interested in learning how to better handle disasters? How to get your business back to business faster? How to partner with government under the new "whole of communities" initiative? How to better prepare your employees for disasters?
This is a great FREE training course produced by FEMA and representatives from the private sector designed to educate your business or your commercial customers on the importance, the roles, and the value propositions offered by public/private partnerships.
This course provides an introduction to the role of public-private partnerships in emergency preparedness and planning. The goal of this training is to establish a common vocabulary and perspective for both government and private sector companies (both large and small) interested in utilizing or forming partnerships to improve response, recovery and resilience.
3) Regional Social Media "Trends Reporting" Pilot Project Announced
The states and urban areas of the All Hazards Consortium (AHC) have been working to develop integrated planning initiatives with the private sector owners and operators in the power, transportation, communications, food and other sectors as a way to help businesses get back to business faster following a major event
Along the way, the AHC has identified new "social media" related approaches, solutions, research and operational approaches that could benefit government and the region/nation if they could be integrated into a trusted framework with state/local governments. A pilot project resulted from discussions with the power, communications and financial services sectors regarding their uses of social media and their desire to synchronize information flows with state/local government Emergency Operations Centers, emergency management leadership and public & private operation teams to enhance real-time decision making during events and overall coordination and communications.
This social media "trends reporting" pilot project is designed to synchronize the delivery of "social media trending" reports to both government and the private sector in order to inform decision makers of real-time information related to specific events. By effectively and efficiently monitoring the thousands of social media sites on the Internet, this service will deliver the following social media trending information to support emergency management operations:
This is a "game-changing" capability according to one state's emergency management officials. If harnessed and integrated into standard operating procedures/systems, this type of social media information can provide real-time "situational awareness" to inform emergency management officials in government and industry to support decision making, validate assumptions, provide early warnings of events, and improve overall coordination and communications during disasters.
Meetings, Events & Partnerships:
4) HS PPD-8 Program Webinar
In January, the states and urban areas of the AHC hosted a webinar on the topic of the new Presidential Policy Directive #8 (HS PPD-8).
National Preparedness is aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of the Nation by preparing for the full range of 21st century risks that threaten national security, including weapons of mass destruction, cyber attacks, terrorism, pandemics, transnational threats and catastrophic natural disasters. National preparedness is a shared responsibility. As such, the PPD is designed to facilitate an integrated, all-of-nation/whole-community, capabilities-based approach to preparedness. Involving federal partners, state, local and tribal leaders, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, faith based and community organizations ─ and, most importantly, the general public - is vital to keeping people and communities safe and preventing the loss of life and property when disasters strike
Implementation of the PPD requires extensive outreach, collaboration and input from stakeholders at all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors and also from the public. FEMA will coordinate closely with our partners throughout the homeland security and emergency management community, the private and non-profit sectors, and with the public to implement the requirements included in PPD-8
This webinar was an interview with the PPD-8 Program's Executive Director Donald "Doc" Lumpkins.

5) Communications Interoperability Tabletop Exercise - NCR UASI
On May 24, 2012, government members of the National Capital Region will conduct the an NCR focused Communications Interoperability Tabletop Exercise in Silver Spring, Maryland as a follow-up to last September's 2nd Annual Forum and to address some new emerging needs since that time. The Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory [JHU/APL] and the All Hazards Consortium [AHC] have been retained to assist with this event.
The exercise will focus on practical interoperability challenges facing Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George's Counties along with the State of Maryland and other NCR partners. Successes as well as gaps will be documented and serve as support for future funding opportunities, highlight achievements, and illustrate the value of past investments.
During the exercise a scenario will be discussed. Two months later, a drill at the command bus rally will demonstrate the identified successes and challenges. In this fashion the joint interoperability capability will be demonstrated, both in theory and practice

As always, this update only reflects a small portion of the "private sector integration" efforts going on within the region and around the country. The AHC would like to express its appreciation for the organizations and individuals who have embraced this "integrated planning initiative" so quickly.
Future regional initiatives updates will include:
Working together, companies and governments will become better prepared to face hazards of any type and develop more resilient "communities and economies" across the region.
The All Hazards Consortium
Regional Integrated Planning Update: February 2012 Newsletter
The All Hazards Consortium would like to provide you with another a brief update on some of its integrated planning initiative programs, projects and activities within the Mid-Atlantic and North East Regions.
These activities have all been designed to promote coordination and integration of planning efforts on specific projects and investments between state/local governments and the private sector "life line sector" owner/operators of the critical infrastructure.
Initiatives, Products & Projects:
1) Regional Rail Security Integrated Planning Initiative
As a direct outcome of the AHC's Private Sector integration initiative launched in 2011, this regional rail initiative was initiated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the NJ UASI. Participants include both passenger and freight rail carriers, multiple state/UASI representatives, and DHS' Transportation Security Administration.
The initiative will focus on the development of specific projects and a public/private rail owners/operators framework for critical decision making built on the existing inter-dependencies between these public/private organizations with an emphasis on state and local integration.
The initiative will identify systems, technologies, policies, and protocols that enhance regional rail security and response operations within the North East and Mid-Atlantic regions. It will also leverage and build upon existing investments, lessons learned, research and initiatives already underway in both the public and private sectors. The first project reviewed operational readiness including identifying and modifying best practices; operational plans, prevention considerations and identified technologies for rail provider's recommended use in the study area for the purpose of ensuring a consistent regional response to a threat or event.
2) Regional Rapid CI/KR Restoration Initiative
This initiative brings critical infrastructure owners and operators from energy, communications, IT and other sectors together with state/local/federal transportation, emergency management, public safety, homeland security and other officials, as appropriate, to discuss the challenges and propose solutions and projects to facilitate and expedite the multi-state transit of mutual assistance with the private sector repair fleets/vehicles to increase speed of restoration of power & telecommunications services within the region.
Historically, the rapid movement of large convoys of mutual assistance resources (e.g. repair trucks and related vehicles) across multiple state/local boundaries to support power & communication response and recovery efforts following major disasters is slowed or disrupted by the need to address and adhere to varying local and state requirements such as stopping at weigh stations or other types of screening. This ongoing project will determine gaps/requirements and possible approaches to resolve challenges facing inter-state fleet movement for the private sector.
To date, an initial meeting was held with the private sector and public officials from PA & NJ. A small Steering Committee was formed by the private sector to oversee the progress. A proposal is being developed for state consideration to further develop the project and next steps. Partners include DHS NPPD/Office of Infrastructure Protection, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and sector reps from the power, telecommunications, transportation, finance, retail & chemical sectors.
3) Regional Disaster Food Distribution Project
This project is initially focusing on determining best practices in the Food Sector resiliency planning efforts. As part of this project, the AHC will be using targeted workshops and webinars to identify successful Food Sector resiliency planning efforts. Other states and entities including New York City, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia have signed on to participate in helping to determine a regional set of recommendations for an implementable Food Sector resiliency plan. Suggested outputs of this project include:
1) 2012 AHC Planning Calendar
As the All Hazards Consortium prepares for 2012 it has created a planning calendar which is now available on the Consortium's website. This calendar will outline the topics tracks that the Consortium is planning to use with each of the Private Sectors. The calendar will outline the Integrated Planning Meetings as well as other status meetings focused on individual projects and initiatives.
NOTE: As always these dates may change slightly for planning purposes so to get the most current version of this please check back with the AHC's website frequently.

I have a John Deere Z425 48" zero turn mower that has been running great. After mowing the other day, I stopped it on the driveway, and when I went to restart it, it just "whirs", not even a cranking sound, just a high-pitched whir. I cleaned the battery terminals and tried again to no avail. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like a starter drive problem. You can remove the shroud easily to have a look. |
- Posted by lauberge49 none (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 8:47
Probably beyond my pay grade! |
I would have the battery load tested. IT probably died on he spot. Load test will let you know that the battery good, bad, or will charge back up. Now you will have some information you can work with. |
- Posted by lauberge49 none (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 14 at 8:21
Thanks for the suggestions. I had it picked up, and it was the starter. I had already tested the battery and it was fine. I will just have to shell out for the repairs! |

Ask the Garden Pro: Plumeria
CORPUS CHRISTI - Q: I brought my plumeria into the garage for winter, but I recently read that they should be hung upside down. I have not done that and wondered if that is necessary.
A: There is nothing magical about storing plumeria upside down versus right side up. The practice stemmed as a way to protect the bare roots of plumeria from the lime in concrete floors, a chemical that damages the exposed roots. Hanging dormant plumeria from the ceiling also frees up floor space. As long as the roots are protected from the concrete, they will be fine. You also can place bare root plumeria in a large, plastic trash container or on large pieces of cardboard.

I go almost every year. Looks like they've taken most of the wintery mix out of the forecast and changed it to rain. That's a little better but it would be nice if a person could park closer. |
We are having company this weekend so I won't be able to go. I have never been to one. Can you believe it? Every year I talk about going, but never have. |

Springfield at the e-complex next to the Ozark fair grounds corner of the Interstate and Hwy. 13. Can't make it this year and was frozen out last year but 2 years ago it was really good - all kinds of plant and seed suppliers, landscapers, outdoor living suppliers, garden tools, Corps of Engineers reps, vacation guides, etc. Just about anything you can imagine for gardeners. Admission is $5.00 I think. Dave |

Brigitte Nerlich is Professor of Science, Language, and Society at the Institute for Science and Society [1] at the University of Nottingham. She will be speaking at the Science Communication Conference [2]in May in the session on 'bridging theory and practice'.
There have been two incidents recently that have brought to the fore some tensions between the theory and practice of science communication. One incident was the so-called Cox/Ince debate and the other was what I shall refer to as the Glaser/Cox incident.
The Cox/Ince debate began when Brian Cox, physicist and science communicator, and Robin Ince, comedian and science communicator, published an article in New Statesman on 18 December last year, entitled 'Politicians must not elevate mere opinion over science [3]' (for an overview of the debate that followed, see this blog by Peter Broks [4] and this blog by myself, focusing on science communication [5]). One follow-up blog post by 'Gavin' [6]in particular was interesting, as it encapsulated my general impression of what was going on. The blogger wrote:
"I looked on in amusement at first, then increasing frustration. Some people began to talk about scientists thinking science has a 'privileged/entitled place in society'. Mud was flung. Labels were liberally applied, in 140 characters or less:
As 'Gavin' noted, the label 'science communicator' seemed to have suddenly shifted its meaning. It now subsumed all those that directly or tangentially study issues around science communication (historians of science, science policy analysts, philosophers of science, experts in Science and Technology Studies and so on), and excluded practitioners like Brian Cox, whom some bloggers tried to defend against the perceived onslaught by the "scicommers".
Scicommer had also become an insult!
The other incident occurred when Elaine Glaser, a BBC journalist, wrote a comment piece in The Guardian on 1 March 2013, entitled "Prof Brian Cox: physicist or priest? [7]", a reflection on Cox's TV series 'Wonders of life'. This article provoked strong reactions [8] by scientists and science communicators such as Jim Al-Khalili and Ed Yong ("bilious waffle", "disappointing tosh"), as well as Cox himself ("intellectually barren cliché").
There was one relatively lonely voice of partial support by an historian who argued that series like 'Wonders', where scientists or historians stride around looking amazed [9], envelop science or history in an aura of glamour that hides everyday practices. (Why this may also be a good thing has been explored in an older blog on the magic of science [10]….)
One expert in science and technology studies provided practical advice [11], asking science communicators to be more aware of textual genres. He also pointed out that "there are many assumptions made by the practitioners which are not borne out by the evidence of scholarship".
To understand the heated exchanges provoked by the two articles, it is necessary to step back and look briefly at the history of science communication.
Science communication - practice, theory, science
Science communication is a phrase that has been in use for a couple of decades, and has developed multiple meanings, with two being dominant. It refers on the one hand to the practice of communicating science (which has a long tradition) and on the other to research [12] reflecting on this practice (which has a somewhat shorter history). An example of the latter use of the phrase is the title of the academic journal Science Communication [13]. This journal was established in 1979 and "examines the nature of expertise, the diffusion of knowledge, and the communication of science and technology among professionals and to the public" (for a more detailed history of science communication, see this website on the history of science communication [14] and some personal reflections by Peter Broks [15]).
One can surmise that practicing science communicators may not read this journal as regularly as social scientists may do (although I have no data on readership). They may consult instead practical guides, such as 'Successful Science Communication [16]: Telling it like it is', which came out in 2011.
Only very recently, a new 'science of science communication [17]' has emerged. It is grounded in research in psychology, decision science, mass communication, risk communication, health communication, political science, and sociology and has a commitment to 'evidence-based science communication [18]'.
Science communication - deficits and stereotypes
Despite these developments in practice and theory, science communication seems to have become increasingly contested and controversial. This process began arguably alongside its institutionalisation, when, during the late 1990s, social scientists examined science communication through the lens of what they called the 'deficit model [19]' of the public communication of science.
In a way, the deficit model may have been the point where theory and practice began to grate on each other and friction began to occur, in a good way and a bad way. Social scientists recommended that science communicators respect the knowledge of those people with whom they communicate, rather than believe that just plugging assumed deficits in knowledge would lead people to appreciate science and trust scientists.
This opened up spaces for wider interactions between science and society. This also created awareness [20]amongst science communicators, who began to improve [21]their ways of working. However, the deficit model may also contribute to closing down dialogue between science communication practitioners and science communication theoreticians. One reason may be that it has created a stereotype [22]of scientists (indeed a deficit model) according to which (all) scientists adhere to the "empty bucket theory of science communication [23]". Respecting "situation-specific wisdom [24]" (Campbell, 1984, p. 323) has, however, been part of the ethos of some scientists for quite a while. The deficit model critique may also inadvertently devalue [25]activities like science communication, science education and science writing [26].
The two incidents discussed at the beginning seem to be indicative of a widening gulf between those who practice (do) science communication and those who engage in scholarship (think) about science communication, which may have its roots in a popular critique of the public communication of science. It is time now to bridge this gulf and to talk openly about mutual understandings and deficits in understandings of what science communication is and should be in the future.

"I loved this recipe! I only tweaked it a bit. First, I used grated Colby cheese in place of the cheddar and I added seasoning salt to the sauce too.

While companies are struggling to reinvent their products and services to be more eco-friendly, Dutch stroller maker Joolz is leaving them in the dust with its idea to turn Joolz packaging into something new and functional.
The cardboard boxes that make up Joolz packaging, and which contain the company's strollers, all come with instructions printed on their interiors. These instructions inform customers how to turn the otherwise useless cardboard box into a new item that can be used, such as a chair, bird house or lamp shade. As the brand's website states, "Every box—from the pushchair itself, but also from every accessory—can be made into a practical and beautiful product."
Joolz's innovative approach to packaging and sustainability is not only a great way to introduce kids to greener living concepts but also to the potential of something that seems like waste, such as a cardboard box.

ISABELLA - Wide Woven Leather Belt
Size: | The belt is 3.5" tall, 30" long from one ring to the other. Tie strings in the front are 22" long. |
Marco's leather accessories boast a style that is rugged-chic, and possess a distinctly artisanal look and feel.
His accessories undergo a unique manufacturing process, where each item is dyed and distressed in its entirety after all the parts are put together. This technique (patented by Marco's Campomaggi brand) not only gives Marco's leather accessories their vintage, weathered look, but also makes each single piece really a one-of-a-kind work of art.
These key fobs and belts make a great companion to his signature distressed leather bags.

I'm going to order some Purple Rain Violas from Graceful Gardens this spring. Does anyone know if they'll be perennial in Missouri zone 5? I've never grown violas before.
I'm also going to start some Penny Lane Violas from seed (or attempt to, anyway). Any special secrets to germinating violas? Deanna |

Globalsoft Digital Solutions : Digitally, Very Photogenic
November 2012 By Erik Cagle, senior editorToday, GlobalSoft counts roughly 15 small publishers among its clients. But the photo specialty isn't limited to greeting cards. The Jersey printer has become the dean of white label products, churning out personalized photo books, calendars, invitations, mugs and t-shirts. GlobalSoft also serves boutique book publishers while operating in the shadow of the industry's largest publishing houses.
Other more "traditional" digital offerings include corporate marketing collateral items and document management programs.
"The photo specialty market has become significant for us," notes Petro, president and CEO of GlobalSoft. "It's a diversion from our past, where it's typically been an enterprise level, commercial based, B2B customer engagement. Our greeting card business has grown substantially over the years. Publishers use us for wholesale and retail business in a print-on-demand environment.
"Publishers used to order greeting cards printed offset in bulk and store them everywhere, even in their homes," Petro laughs. "We've built a model that enables zero inventory, which allows them to offer more SKUs without risk and get into a better delivery environment. We've pared down their turn times significantly."
The growth of photo specialty products at GlobalSoft is revolutionary. By the end of fiscal year 2012, it will account for 35 percent of total revenues, a figure Petro expects will balloon to 60 percent in 2013. Sales forecasts are for the $18 million to $20 million range.
GlobalSoft's migration to a Pageflex Web-to-print platform eight years ago took the printer's online storefront program to the next level, opening the floodgates on enterprise-level accounts. But it didn't take long for fulfillment to become a challenge in regards to those accounts with global needs. The solution: GlobalSoft opened a facility in Pusignan (near Lyon), France. It's a printing and fulfillment operation, with no sales staff. GlobalSoft now does business in 23 countries and 15 different languages, 100 percent supported by Web-based storefronts.
The upshot has been reciprocal printing opportunities in the United States. Petro is taking a hard look at the Asian marketplace for future international growth, while Canada and Mexico are also possible targets for down the road.
The photo specialty success is credited to a "heavy" investment in technology, workflow and development at GlobalSoft. There's an ongoing quest for improvement in that regard; Petro and Comito attended the recent drupa and Graph Expo shows with the express intent of seeking out automation tools for greeting card production and the manufacturing of photo books and calendars.
GlobalSoft already made a substantial capex commitment in 2012 with the acquisition of two HP Indigo 7600 digital presses. They joined a fleet that includes two Indigo 7500s, a pair of Indigo 5000s and seven HP wide-format digital printers, while continuing one of the deeper relationships between a printer and manufacturer.
How deep? GlobalSoft beta tested the Indigo 5000, 7500 and 7600 presses and was the first post-beta installation for the 7500 and 7600. Manzo is a founding member of the Digital Solutions Cooperative (Dscoop), the HP graphic arts users' group; both he and Petro served on the HP Digital Print Advisory Counsel. Petro is also currently serving as the international chairman for Dscoop.
"We enjoy a unique relationship," Petro states. "It's great to see recommendations from a user group perspective, and then be able to see the manifestation of those suggestions. We've had other people on their technical board and some of our prepress people have been involved with Dscoop. It's certainly bore fruit for us.
"When we started to grow in photo specialty, the fulfillment part of that manufacturing process—binding and side stitching—required a significant investment on our behalf. That gear was financed by HP Financial Services. Not only did they finance the presses, they gave us a competitive interest rate and true partnership in the advancement of photo specialty. The win for them is that as we grow, we'll buy more HP presses."
Another Digital Press Is on the Horizon
Petro reinforced that statement by saying his company will likely acquire an HP Indigo W7250 webfed digital press, with an aim towards a January/February 2013 installation.
In October of 2011, sparked by increased demand for black-and-white products, GlobalSoft brought aboard an Océ VarioPrint monochrome press, which replaced two older devices. In addition to producing training, service and product manuals, it has been the catalyst for GlobalSoft's entry into book printing.
"The various media we can print on the VarioPrint, the quality of the printing, the laser array—it's just superior," reports Comito, vice president of client services. "The VarioPrint provides a nice tie-in to our Indigo color output."
The investments didn't start and end with equipment. For a company that spent its first four Christmases constantly preparing for moves into new facilities, GlobalSoft seems to have found a long-term home in May of 2011. Its 50,000-square-foot facility was crafted into the side of a mountain in an industrial complex, and a lean manufacturing consultant was brought in to help maximize the new space.
The result: A building that is easy on the eyes while speaking to the needs of HVAC-controlled, digital printing, while providing ample space for kitting, fulfillment and packaging. Lean manufacturing is greatly emphasized, with monthly 5S audits and Kaizen (continuous improvement) meetings. Waste is managed down to the ounce, Petro points out, a fact that is not lost on his customers.
This past May, GlobalSoft raised the stakes by installing solar panels on its rooftop. The system, subsidized by the State of New Jersey's Clean Energy program, carries a price tag in the $1 million ballpark. According to Petro, the system has allowed the company to produce 30 to 40 percent of its power consumption. It is expected to pay for itself in less than two years.
"Some months, when we're not so busy, we can go above our usage and put that (power) back into the grid," Petro says.
Also this past summer, GlobalSoft launched its new marketing services and logistics division, GlobalSoft Innovations. The aim of the service, which debuted with a soft launch in the fall of 2011, is to provide customer-centric marketing, cross-media integration and marketing logistics.
"As the technology marketplace shifted from print service provider to marketing solutions provider, there was a natural dovetail to go to these folks—brand managers, chief marketing officers and sales vice presidents—because they were often asking us to do a pURL campaign, a gURL campaign, or an electronic newsletter," Petro states.
"In many instances, we were doing these types of cross-media campaigns, bucketed in our engagement as value-added services. So, we made a conscious decision to hire some sharp people who could help us provide automated marketing and multimedia mixes."
Manzo notes that longtime customers had approached GlobalSoft seeking new ideas on how they, in turn, could better communicate with their customers and prospects. "Some of it has migrated away from print into electronic communications, and GlobalSoft Innovations was a way we could start talking to them not only about their overall communications strategy, but how they can improve their ROI for all aspects of their marketing campaigns. We've brought some of the best marketing people in the industry onboard."
But whether the tools are social media, integrated marketing solutions or Web-based storefronts, customers never lose sight of the fact that digital printing is the core strength of GlobalSoft's value proposition. That the printer is willing to bend toward technological changes in the marketplace is proof positive that it plans on being around for the long haul.
"Our mantra is digital first," Comito concludes. "That really sets us apart from the rest." PI

TSSplitter NO LONGER DEVELOPED |
TSSplitter is intended for splitting and joining large MPEG Transport Streams containing any kind of stream encoding, including MPEG2 and H.264 (*), to burn them to DVD. The advantage compared to other similar tools is that you can later join the files and get a file that's 100% like the origninal source file, so you get no klicks or image glitches on the join position, and you can for example re-seed the file via BitTorrent.

What I needed was just to join .TS files from a DVB recorder keeping all audio an subtitles tracks. It does that quite well. It does not lose any frame at the joining points.
I cannot fault this utility. Works fine for me, both splitting and joining. Thanks author !
This does exactly what I downloaded it for and does it well. I needed to losslessly combine files from a Canon M40. Every time you pause the camera and every 2GB you get a new file. I ended up with 8 files from one training I recorded. Very easy - click File/Open for joining, Add files, then click "join". Really fast and no sync problems across 8 files. I do not need the splitting functionality so I have no comments there.
The chunks worked played back with Windows Media Player
Kind of useless. It does exactly what it says but whats the point. you cant play the split files directly. so you split them into dvd size 4.7 gig, put them on your PS3. Guess what? only the first file will play. They say its good for splitting files and streaming to bit torrent. well the person downloading would have to have this software too so they can rejoin the files..

As for me, I find myself thinking, "I saw that in Windows Secrets about four weeks ago — how do I get back to that article, now that I really need it?"
I'm pleased to announce that we've made it easier for you to find all the dirt we've ever published on Microsoft Windows. Just visit our new Windows Secrets Library, where quick summaries of every article are available at the click of a mouse.
As shown in Figure 1, our library page starts out by displaying a compact listing of every top story for an entire year. An icon to the left of each story — and to the left of the "Summaries" heading — allows you to expand one date or all dates in a 12-month period.
Figure 1. Our library initially appears in a collapsed view showing the titles of all the top stories we published in a particular year. (Click the image to visit the page.)
One click on the "Summaries" plus sign and a short summary of every column we posted that year will expand before your eyes, as shown in Figure 2. It's a fast way to skim the page and jog your memory about the tip you're trying to dig up.
Figure 2. Click the plus sign to the left of the word "Summaries" to get the expanded view: a capsule description of every article we published on each date.
File-management dialog boxes in Windows have used plus-and-minus signs this way for years. I'm glad we've been able to convert our content to use this kind of intuitive interface.
A lot of credit for the library should go to Brent Scheffler (left), the program director of WindowsSecrets.com. Months ago, he was able to parse out all of the articles from each of the e-mail newsletters we've published over the years, posting each article on a separate page.
These days, every paragraph by one of millions of bloggers gets its own page immediately. But dissecting the long e-mails that we've used for years to transmit the Windows Secrets Newsletter to you was a daunting task. The result has made it easier for you to search our library of material and hone in on the individual article you want.
The actual code base of our expand-and-collapse interface was developed by Vickie Stevens (left), our research director. It's not as easy as it looks to perfect a system that instantly displays just the right set of articles when you click a link. Vickie has succeeded in making most of our content easily findable, year by year, in our new library.
That goes for our LangaList content, too. We've partially finished breaking down the many years of newsletters that were written by our editor-at-large, Fred Langa, into bite-size pages. We also plan to add a new interface to the newsletter that Woody Leonhard published as Woody's Windows Watch before it merged with Windows Secrets in 2004.
Our library page will probably be a bit slow when 275,000 of you start clicking the links at the same time on Mar. 20. If so, I apologize in advance. Try out the library now, and then visit it again next week after the wave has receded.
To access our library, enter WindowsSecrets.com/library into your browser, or simply use the following link to be transported there:
