Karen Bentley Pollick, violinist; Lisa Moore, pianist
Monday, Hill Recital Hall
Birmingham-Southern College
The stylistic cohesiveness in the "Prophet Birds" program Monday at Hill Recital Hall was made all the more convincing by Karen Bentley Pollick's and Lisa Moore's determination to make it lucid and palatable.
The violin and piano duo -- both ardent protagonists for the new and the good in modern classical music -- chose as its featured work a world premiere by Sam Adams. A 24-year-old Californian who happens to be the son of a more famous composer named John, Sam has written a work that bears a small resemblance to Dad's post-minimal stylistic amalgamations, but is most concerned with sonic exploration. In "Aves Nostradamus," the piano becomes a percussion instrument -- pedals knocking on the floor, hands tapping on wood and rubbing under the keyboard. In the first movement, titled "Stutter," its expressiveness comes from a winsome physicality inside a coherent rhythmic framework. "Prophecy" toys with silence, enhanced by violin ornaments.
Adams, who was on hand for the premiere, connected with Schumann's song, "Prophet Bird," as did Martin Bresnick in "Bird as Prophet," performed immediately after Adams' work. A tense, dizzying work, it moves from violin double-stop unisons going in and out of phase to a long chromatic expanse and sustained high violin note.
Anchoring the recital was John Adams' "Road Movies," a three-movement work bookended by the composer's minimalism -- repetitive patterns, off-kilter rhythms and caffeinated, adrenalin-rich ripples of sound -- but offset by a languidly expressive middle movement. The duo played with inspiration and tenacity, mastering the work's jazzy imprint on the finale, titled "40% Swing."
Also on the program was Paul Dresher's "Elapsed Time," a work that closes with Philip Glass-style minimalism, set in motion by Moore's pianistic strength and focus.
Leos Janacek's Sonata for Violin and Piano was the evening's oddity. Its post-romantic angst played out with dry detachment, offset by lovely playing in the "Ballad" movement.

This movie is going to be amazing!
I agree to the point that Megan Fox (who is simply amazing to look at) didn't have to be in the film to make it good.
Don't get my wrong she is hot as f*ck and I loved her being in it, but if she wasn't and there wasn't the little gay as cliché "love story" which in EVERY movie made now a days it would still have been the best film of 2007.7 years agoby @cloudzeroxFlag
I'd really like to see Soundwave, Constructicons, The Dinobots. However a Unicron storyline has been done in the animated format but a live action would be freaking sweet.
Also I'm surprised someone actually didn't like Transformers. Can't expect everyone to have the same opinion though.hell ya radimus- justlooknaround u r a fool and that was definitely quite an irrational statement- the visual effects in that movie were some of the best i had ever seen, the storyline was terrific, the acting was great, even the soundtrack was awesome. obviously they could've made the movie more true to the transformers series, but wat would they get out of that? theres just that group of nerdy kids and/or adults who would go to see- overall it probably would not have appealed to the general public. and how is it just like disturbia??? wow shia labeouf... thats about it. and megan fox didnt even really have a large part in that movie- sure she was there to stare at for the first 20 minz, but after that, the focus was more or less on shia's character sam. personally i thot the movie was all-around terrific and i would recommend it to anyone young or old- obviously i cant wait until the second one!!
justlookn, you an idiot who wouldn't know a c*ck from a pelopeion tube!!!! Transformers was a great movie, the hot chick was just a plus. an after the opening 15 minutes i doubt anyone give a sh*t about t*ts and ass!

the first film was the best of 2007 cant wait for the second
7 years agoby @evilwarrior31Flag
man u don't kno wat ur sayin justlooknround. it was awesome. not an instant classic or a complete shock. however it was entertaining, fun, and a new level of movie making. also "justlooknround". if u had bought the special edition dvd of it, (which i kno u didn't due to ur post) u will c how hard each and everyone of those members worked on it. sure they were being payed but they put their heat into it. ok. no i would love to see soundwave as some high tech stealth looking, black, hummer. with satellite dishes and everything. that would look killer to c transform. huh? also hope they put acee in this. thats jus me.
The first movie sucked. It revolved around an attractive girl.
It was an insult to the Transformers integrity as a franchise. It was like saying the Transformers wasn't enough to draw in a crowd. It was just like Disturbia. A B rated film that had a budget and crew of a blockbuster film. Sadly, I will not be going to see part two of this once respectable franchise. All you teeny boppers enjoy.7 years agoby @justlooknroundFlag
f*cking right it was the best movie of 2007!!!

Around 1:00 a.m. Chantal returns to the altar. Another spirit possesses her — it's Damballah, the snake god. At first she careens around the room as if drunk, out of control. Then she falls to the floor, writhing, belly down, contorting her body and rolling her eyes back into her skull. She hisses in time with Erol's chanting. After a few minutes, Chantal rolls onto her back and passes out. Erol covers her — tenderly.
When she comes to about a minute later, she gets up and groggily walks out of the room, as if rising after a deep sleep. When she returns a few moments later, she asks if anyone wants coffee. And if they do, would they like cream or sugar?
With the ceremony momentarily on hold, Erol steps outside. It's hot in the basement, and the fresh air, which smells like cut grass, energizes the houngan.
In 1987 Erol's stepfather had some news: The spirits had decreed that Erol should become a priest. At first his parents were reluctant. It seemed the boy, age 16, was too young. But soon they relented, especially when others in Haiti began to witness Erol's gift of speaking with the spirits. He could slip into trances with ease and clearly heard their messages.
Indeed other houngans had spoken to Erol and all agreed his knowledge of vodou was well beyond his years, and he could handle the often physically demanding role of being dominated by the gods. "He could move in and out of the spiritual plane in a matter of seconds, in and out," recalls Max Beauvoir, one of Haiti's pre-eminent vodou priests and scholars.
Erol spent 45 days in prayer, and then his stepfather took him to a secret forest near Port-au-Prince. There his parents and other priests bathed him in herbs. He spent weeks studying the traditions of the religion, including the healing properties of prayer and herbs such as basil, lemongrass, and mint. He learned how to sing and chant the words that would summon the spirits. At age 17, he became a houngan.
Although Erol devoted most of his time to his faith — he was the president of a vodou youth group that defended the ancient rituals — he found time for music and dance. He and his mother loved to listen to jazz and disco records. Boney M.'s "Daddy Cool" single was the first record he bought. Erol also remembers seeing the video for Michael Jackson's 1982 hit "Thriller" on television and trying to imitate the singer's moves in his living room. To improve, he took dance lessons after school.
At age 19, Erol felt the stirrings of wanderlust. His country's relentless poverty was the biggest obstacle to his dream — to sing and dance professionally. "I had a vision," Erol says. "What I wanted to do, I wasn't going to in Haiti."
Erol had one option: go to Paris. It was the easiest path for middle-class Haitians with an artistic bent. Unlike his poorer brethren, Erol had been schooled in the French language — so there wouldn't be a language barrier. His family obtained a tourist visa for him and then scraped together cash for the plane ticket and some spending money.
Paris was an awakening. Within a few years, Erol had formed his own 13-member dance troupe, Compagnie Shango, named for a powerful saint. He choreographed the performances, which relied heavily on traditional African music and some of the steps he had used during vodou ceremonies. He also dabbled in acting, appearing in a 2002 movie called Royal Bonbon, directed by French director and screenwriter Charles Najman. It is a magical tale of the reincarnation of the first king of Haiti; it was also one of the first full-length feature films to be shot on the island.
Erol went home for the filming. Before shooting began on one scene, he performed a vodou ceremony at a lake, to ask the spirits permission to use the water. "The crew thought I was crazy," Erol recalls. The film later won France's Prix Jean Vigo, an important prize that recognizes young French filmmakers.
The 28-year-old Erol stayed in Paris for two years after that movie, but ambition — and a touch of homesickness — brought him to New York. He knew New York had a large Haitian ex-pat community, larger than Paris's. He wanted to be around his people, around vodou. The Haitians in Paris were older, upper class, less inclined to openly practice or talk about their vodou faith. In New York there were Haitians of all ages, and lots of them. Some estimates put the émigré population at 300,000, equal to the Haitian population in South Florida.
"I [had] to bring Haiti to America," he says. "I want[ed] to show the real face of Haiti, that Haiti is not just poverty and vodou dolls and magie noire."
It's 4:30 a.m., and Erol ties a red scarf on his head, a striking contrast to his all-white outfit and caramel-color skin. He is singing loudly, summoning Ogou, the warrior god who also represents politics and magic. It is believed he gave power to the slaves in Haiti when they rebelled against the French government, and bestowed power again when Aristide took over in 1994. Ogou likes weapons and chaos.

Featured Article
Advocates working with families in danger of losing their homes have urged Connecticut legislators to extend more help to try to stem the tide of foreclosures.
The state legislature's Banks Committee is considering a number of bills that would change the way the state attempts to help families in foreclosure –the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority currently implements the state's programs – director of the Authority Timothy Bannon told the committee although they've been able to help 15,000 families so far, the ground is shifting under their feet.
"Now, instead of simply dealing with a set of conditions arising from what in many cases were predatory lending practices, the problem has been compounded by unemployment and underemployment."
One key provision in the proposed legislation would allow homeowners to apply for emergency mortgage relief much earlier – when their loans are 60 days delinquent, instead of having to wait for a foreclosure notice. The bill would also loosen income provisions for those seeking assistance. Also under consideration, a measure that would require banks to maintain properties that they foreclose on, in order to prevent the slide in neighboring property values. Gary Hogan runs a task force that manages vacant properties for New Haven – he says the city is beginning to be stifled by blight.
"Folks will leave, and the bank will take over, and they'll put a lockbox on the front. Once that lockbox which has a key in it for the realtor to get in, that is a symbol that this house is vacant and that's where our vandals and a certain set of society decide to prey upon that property."
Other bills would tighten licensing provisions for mortgage professionals and crack down on mortgage fraud.

If you can believe it...some people go to the Masters and don't even watch one player hit a ball.
It's one of the most majestic golf tournaments in the world. And while most people come to the Masters to watch the golf, there are those who come for the shopping.
"I got one of the Masters cups," says shopper Megan Partridge.
"These are the new ones, the wind shirts," says shopper Virginia Turner.
The excitement of the Masters catch.
So for these ladies, is it more fun to watch the golf or is it more fun to go shopping?
"I like the shopping," Partridge said.
"I like the shopping too, and watching people," said shopper Janet Ford.
It's rare to see someone leaving the course without a bag from the gift shop.
But for ladies like Virginia Turner, one isn't enough.
"Some of it's going to Pittsburgh, some of it's going to New Jersey and most of it's staying with me," she says of the many bags she's carrying.
It's a 12-year tradition for Turner: no golf, just shopping.
"I come in. I run in. I shop and I get out," she says.
And all this gear adds up.
"I got out cheap actually, a thousand," Turner says. "So that's good. Usually it's about $1500 to $2000 every year."
There are lots of souvenirs to buy at the National. But the $1.50 pimiento cheese sandwich is still the cheapest.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap Congratulates Winners of Native American Essay ContestAugusta-Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap announced the names of the winners in the 2009-10 Maine Native American History and Culture Essay Contest today and offered his congratulations to all of the students who took part. "This contest offers a great tool for teachers and students to explore the rich culture of the Native American nations that have thrived in Maine for thousands of years," said Dunlap. "While most Maine people are aware of their Micmac, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet and Penobscot neighbors, they may not be aware that Androscoggin isn't just a county and river, it was a thriving nation of people, like the Norridgewocks and many other unique cultures. I think the students showed a great deal of new learning in their essays." This year's winner in the high school division is Brett Davisson of Wells High School for his essay entitled The Abenaki and the European Settlement of Maine. Cape Elizabeth Middle School claims both first and second place titles in the middle school division. Top honors go to Deven Roberts for his essay, Native American History in Maine and Heather Chase placed second with her submission entitled The Wabanaki Culture . Open to students statewide, the contest called on students to explore at least one aspect of Maine Native American history, and to write an essay of between 500-1000 words detailing what they had learned. Entries detailed topics including the history of Native American diplomacy, relations with European settlers, aspects of Native American economics, and the migrations of Native American peoples. Each winner and his or her class is invited to be the Secretary of State's guest for a day in Augusta. Students tour the State House, the State Museum, and the State Archives--where they will be able to view Maine's original treaties with Native peoples and original field books of the early European explorers. Secretary of State Dunlap noted the importance of studying the history of the State's Native peoples for all Maine students, and pointed to Maine law MRSA 20-A, Section 4706, providing for the inclusion of this significant area of study. (The law can be viewed on line at www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/20-A/title20-Asec4706.html.)

Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
W: A. Wainwright (12-6)
L: C. Billingsley (10-6)
ST. LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright and Chad Billingsley matched zeroes for five innings. Wainwright kept going long after the St. Louis Cardinals roughed up the 10-game winner.
Wainwright scattered eight hits in eight innings and the Cardinals scored six runs in the sixth inning of a 10-0 victory Tuesday night that saddled the Dodgers with their first three-game losing streak of the season."My main focus was just to keep going and outlast him," Wainwright said. "Our offense, we're kind of like the Rams when they won the Super Bowl, that quick strike offense."Even though he was pitching a great game, I knew our offense would get to him," he said.The Dodgers have the majors' best record at 62-38 and were the last team to lose three in a row, going a franchise-record 99 games before falling in their 100th game. That shattered the previous mark of 73 games in June 1965."We've won a lot of close games, but to go this long only losing two in a row is pretty unusual," manager Joe Torre said. "But we have to get ourselves righted right now."Billingsley (10-6) had a one-hitter through five innings before falling apart in a game that was delayed 1 hour, 25 minutes at the start due to the threat of heavy rain that never came. The Dodgers have managed one run on 20 hits the first two games of a four-game series and are 2-10 at 4-year-old Busch Stadium."Everything was going well," Billingsley said. "Just that sixth inning, I couldn't stop the bleeding."Ryan Ludwick's bases-loaded single keyed the sixth-inning outburst and Mark DeRosa added a three-run homer in the eighth, his sixth in 14 games. The Cardinals' revamped lineup has scored 16 runs the last two games without a contribution from Albert Pujols.Pujols is 1-for-7 with three walks in the series and 10-for-42 (.238) since the All-Star break with two homers and two RBIs -- both in the first game back -- and no other extra-base hits.The three-game losing streak is Los Angeles' longest since they dropped eight in a row Aug. 22-29, 2008, and they were shut out for the sixth time. Infielder Mark Loretta made his second career relief appearance, hitting Matt Holliday with a pitch before getting the last out of the eighth on Ludwick's flyout to the warning track in left.Wainwright (12-6) scattered eight hits with five strikeouts and one walk, and hit his stride after stranding two runners in the second, third and sixth. He worked six or more innings for the 20th consecutive start and seven or more for the eighth time in nine outings, and retired the last eight hitters in order.Wainwright was 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA in July and the latest victory exceeded his 2008 total, when he was sidelined for 65 games with a finger tendon injury.Ludwick, who had been the cleanup hitter before the Cardinals acquired Holliday last week, is 7-for-12 with 17 RBIs with the bases loaded after grounding a solid single up the middle on a 1-1 pitch."I don't know if it was the key blow but it was a big hit," Ludwick said. "I'm just trying to do my job."The Cardinals didn't get a hit until Holliday's single to left with two outs in the fourth and Billingsley (10-6) needed only 59 pitches to work five innings, before running into big trouble. Billingsley needed 35 pitches to get two more outs in the sixth, giving up three hits, walking four and throwing two wild pitches.Skip Schumaker walked to start the inning and capped the rally with an RBI single that extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Billingsley walked three others, including Holliday intentionally to load the bases before Ludwick's single for the game's first runs.Yadier Molina had a two-run single with two outs and Wainwright had an RBI single after Brendan Ryan was walked intentionally.Game notes
Dodgers RHP Jason Schmidt (1-1, 7.88 ERA) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, but manager Joe Torre hasn't yet decided whether he'd stay in the rotation. ... Andre Ethier doubled in the third and is batting .500 (17-for-34) during a nine-game hitting streak. ... Holliday was 1-for-3 after becoming the first Cardinal to double in his first four games, in statistics dating to 1954.

An absolute joy to read. However, "Friends?" One could see funnier things than "Friends" -- any episode of "Friends" -- while driving to work in the morning.
Regardless, love the analysis, the methodology and even the explanations of how things were measured and why was a hoot.
And the episode of "Andy Griffith" used for the comparison totally rules.

Do Sand Sharks Stress? Yes, some may even say it's a part of survival... One educational experience I think my fellow USCB peers and I are exposed to at the close of the semester is learning our aptitude in handling stress. Frantically finding ways to handle the call of being a student and not completely succumbing to a meltdown is sometimes the nature of the beast.
Naturally the end of the semester brings stress. There are papers and projects, foreign language orals, final presentations and speeches, and the infamous final exams morphing into a tornado of flashcards, late nights, and lots of coffee.
Thankfully my peers and I often experience our professors working hard to create balanced and reasonable loads and demands: supporting us in their placement of due dates, providing study guides, making available tutors and extra credit opportunities, and having encouraged us throughout the semester to do a little bit every day, or to stay dedicated and committed in time management, encouragements to stay on top of the assignments and readings, encouragements to give it our best, encouragements to find our curiosity within the study… as these tools and ideas ingrain the knowledge within us more easily and maintains the accessibility of such knowledge while reflecting our growth in these final evaluations.
However it is only realistic that sometimes we get off track, sometimes as students we find ourselves cramming, or hustling to understand a topic, or integrate ten chapters of knowledge into a final paper. Some of us work better under the pressure, some of us do not, some of us prepare in advance and work hard but panic on tests, and some of us fall victim to letting things slide but maybe just maybe saving face with the finals!
If we are fortunate and have wised up on some ends, we take each of our college semester experiences: be it cramming, nearly breaking down from the pressures of last minute duties, be it success in finding excellent study habits or semester long habits to "stay on top of the learning"-- and we evaluate our behavior and conduct leading the process of our final evaluations (through final projects, presentations, and exams). If it nearly drove us to quitting we try not to repeat it (insanity, after all, is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results), but if it worked we keep it (no reason to reinvent the wheel if it works)! We monitor and adjust these experiences to improve upon each new experience. To apply what we have newly learned about ourselves and our interactions within differing disciplines, class settings, with differing teachers, texts, assignments, and peers. AND if we fail, we pull ourselves up by the boot straps and try again. Yes, perhaps easier said than done, I know, but practice makes it easier, and failure is not the end all be all. In fact sometimes failure drives us more, knowing how to let it drive us is another education in itself.
This is all a part of the education experience: it takes effort, recognition, inquiry, application, evaluation, questioning, seeking, analyzing, integrating, using our creativity to manage, to find what works in our learning, understanding, and growth, and to find what works in the stress management, and our survival too. Our USCB Student Life also supplies study break and de-stress activities throughout each end of semester to help with our sanity, things such as yoga and arts&crafts. Sometimes a little bit of stress, giving us a kick and drive to be accountable, is a good thing, yet a better thing is not letting a little bit of stress turn into an all consuming giant of stress-- and finding the tricks to prevent that.
We certainly know stress can have its unhealthy measures that people often have run-ins with, and sometimes this kind of stress has arisen as a personal battle for myself in the past. In the midst of my finals a dear friend knowing my aptitude to stress sent me an image that my brain adores and I now attempt to apply regularly, I hope you may find it as much as a gift as I did:
Furthermore I hope you do not stress if you face failure, I have included some inspirational stories of overcoming failures. Failures of many kinds exist differently for everyone. What is important is finding the goodness and hopes of future and the fuel within the failure as these people did to grow and persevere (by The Huffington Post's Renee Jacques):
"Steven Spielberg was rejected from USC, twice." That is the University of Southern California--not our beloved Gamecock Home (you know we would have taken you Steve)!!! Steven Spielberg maker of classic films: "Shindler's List", "Jaws", "E.T.", and "Jurassic Park" was rejected from this dream school of film twice before getting in.
"Franklin Roosevelt ... developed polio, which eventually left him paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life. Even though he couldn't walk, he went on to lead the country as one of the most respected and memorable presidents in history."
"Oprah Winfrey … one of the most successful and richest people in the world today, was repeatedly molested by her cousin, uncle and a family friend, but Winfrey's tragic past didn't stop her from becoming the force she is today. She later excelled as an honors student…and won an oratory contest which secured her a full scholarship to college… now the entrepreneur and personality has the admiration of millions…"
"Stephen King's first novel was rejected 30 times. If it weren't for King's wife, 'Carrie' may not have ever existed. After being consistently rejected by publishing houses, King gave up and threw his first book in the trash. His wife, Tabitha, retrieved the manuscript and urged King to finish it. Now, King's books have sold over 350 million copies and have been made into countless major motion pictures."
"Benjamin Franklin dropped out of school at age ten. Franklin's parents could only afford to keep him in school until his tenth birthday. That didn't stop the great man from pursuing his education. He taught himself through voracious reading, and eventually went on to invent the lightning rod and bifocals. Oh, and he became one of America's Founding Fathers."
"Jim Carrey used to be homeless. Carrey revealed to James Lipton on 'Inside the Actor's Studio' that when he was 15, he had to drop out of school to support his family. His father was an unemployed musician and as the family went from 'lower middle class to poor,' they eventually had to start living in a van. Carrey didn't let this stop him from achieving his dream of becoming a comedian: He went from having his dad drive him to comedy clubs in Toronto to starring in mega-blockbusters and being known as one of the best comedic actors of an era."

May you find the freedom in overcoming failures and healthily combatting stress!

Automating the Physical World with Linux, Part 1: Control Automation
Whether communicating with a local or remote I/O unit, a data protocol is used to define how an application sends data to and retrieves data from an I/O unit. Data protocols have historically been cryptic, as computationally limited devices need compact packets and easy parsing ability. However, while our selected I/O hardware has a data protocol, it has the advantage of using standard TCP or UDP sockets to transfer the data between client and server.
Writing your own library to handle the data protocol can be quite involved. Most manufacturers have documentation and software support for their data interfaces. For this I/O device, however, a small protocol library for the device shields the developer from having to deal with the cryptic data interface or even with TCP/IP sockets.
Unlike our earlier example of an open-loop system that was time-based, a system that actively reads the state of the system and attempts to correct it is called a closed-loop system. As an example, let's use my network server room, where I would like to stabilize the temperature. The input is the state of my system, temperature in this case. The output is the result that tells me to turn on a fan or a heater. The strategy is the method of computing the input to determine the output. The system's update rate can be fairly slow because most heating and cooling systems aren't capable of extremely rapid temperature changes.
Like the design approach for the sprinkler system, we'll start with a method similar to the way we would do it in our world. We would look at a temperature gauge and compare the temperature to our high and low limits. If it has reached one, we'll turn on the appropriate fan or heater to correct the room's temperature. Listing 2 has the algorithm to do this in C pseudo-code.
Listing 2. Temperature Algorithm
The function of this loop is to check whether the temperature I enter is above 70ºF. If so, it will tell me to turn on a fan. If I report a temperature that is below 65ºF, it will tell me to turn on a heater. Ideally, my logic is designed to keep the system temperature between my two limits. The speed at which this loop is computed is as fast as I can enter the current temperature.
Listing 3 shows the same control loop, this time including the hardware interface. It looks very similar.
In this first article I have discussed some basic automation concepts and introduced the two main building blocks of control automation: the data acquisition hardware and the software control loop. The software algorithms model the way we would control a sprinkler system or a server-room thermostat manually.
With additional data acquisition hardware, Linux is capable of monitoring and commanding our physical space. In turn, the addition of automation improves the safety, efficiency and capability in our lives by performing tasks for us.
In the next article, we'll introduce other areas where control exists, expanding our sprinkler system in the process.

Software and simple hardware
Hi, I'm also interested in using a Linux Platform to do my automation with. My question is also, what software, packages, libraries do you use? And where can I get completely simple hardware? I found 1 sight using hardware called 'MiniBee' which would be perfect if I was on Winblows and Visual Studio.
Need to find a forum or create a group forum for projects of this nature. I don't doubt lots are curious and if a group was built I bet they would come.
Hi, I dabble in robotics, but I am still what one may call new at this and the reason I am interested in your sprinkler system is I am designing a robotic unit that instead of using a microprocessor uses a fully functional Linux based computer system as its internal functioning unit, interfaced with my PC through Wi-Fi. And what I was curious is what language was the interfacing programming written in, and how does your Linux unit identify each individual sprinkler. Are they each connected through a separate port? What I would like to know basically is how do you get the signal across.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Scott Parker has admitted there is a tense atmosphere at Fulham but is determined to repay the fans for their fantastic support by avoiding relegation.
Felix Magath's side have raised hopes of an unlikely escape with recent wins over Aston Villa and Norwich City, but last weekend's loss to Tottenham Hotspur left them two points from safety.
Fulham have three games remaining this term, starting with a home clash against Hull City on Saturday, and Parker says there is a fierce determination within the squad to pull clear of trouble.
"We all understand the responsibility we have as players," he told Fulham's official website.
"Ultimately, we're going out there for a lot of people and it's in our hands to try and win games to keep us in the league, so we all understand that responsibility that's needed from us.
"I'd probably be lying if I said the mood around the place was fantastic because obviously when you're down near the bottom of the league it's very tense, very nervy.
"I'm hoping we can all just stick together and give it one final push, and hopefully have a bit of luck, and see what happens."
Parker has been grateful to the Fulham faithful for their support throughout a tough season and thinks their continued backing could make a crucial difference in the run-in.
"The fans have been fantastic and we need that added push from them," he said. "The fans have been absolutely superb considering we, as players, haven't given them a lot to shout about this year.
"All of us realise things haven't been great and we could have done a lot better at times. The fans have been fantastic and we need their support more than ever, and I'm sure they'll keep at it.
"They've been right behind us and all I can say is a big thank you for that, and hopefully that's what's going to pull us through."
It has been suggested that Fulham's remaining matches are not as difficult as the fixtures awaiting their relegation rivals, but Parker is still wary of the threat Hull will pose on Saturday.
"They're looking over their shoulder a little but I think they'll be safe," Parker stated. "Obviously they've got an FA Cup Final to look forward to so I think they've had a very good season.
"I'm sure they won't be taking their eye off any game, especially with a manager like Steve Bruce, so it will be a difficult game for us."

There's a new movement online, and it's all about focus. Inevitably, we've reached the stage where technology is so advanced, and the internet so goddamn massive, that we're finding it hard to filter out the relevant from the irrelevant. Concentrating on the task at hand is tough, without getting distracted by various IM messages and calendar reminders.
Personally, I find it very difficult to ignore the new email icon that pops up on my toolbar. If I was practicing the new computer art of zen, however, turning that reminder off would be the first thing on my To Do list.
This new movement is spawning a whole host of new programs, designed to focus the mind – Zenware.
Thanks to Slate, I'm now currently using one such piece of Zenware, called Clutter Cloak. This blacks out the majority of your screen, except for the area that your cursor is hovering over. That means that whilst I'm writing this post, I can't see the tab with my email number on it, which I check every time I see the unread email number go up, I can't see the Skype programme, updating me on contacts, and I'm not tempted to start formatting this stuff half way through.
And I have to say, I think it's brilliant.
It's surprising how much easier it is to concentrate when the distractions are taken away. Or perhaps it's not surprising, but is blindingly obvious. Perhaps that's it.
It's also taking the form of some decidedly lo-fi applications. Dark Room for PC and Write Room for Mac are text editors you can use instead of something like Word. All the formatting options are hidden off screen, and you're just left with a black screen and green cursor/text with which to write. It's just like being in 1993.
There's something weirdly circular about the direction this is heading in. Should this take off, we may all be finding ourselves foregoing light bulbs for candles and dumping email for good old letter writing. I may also be forced to take up a job as one of those newspaper writer-type people. Or worse, town crier.

Hi Chuck,
Thank you for the very detailed, and well laid out discussion that I am sure will help a lot of beginners. I am beginner in flying RC planes myself. I purchased the Super Cub LP and I am just starting to get comfortable with the plane, however there is still a lot for me to learn. Anyway, I will be looking to maybe upgrade the plane in the very near future and this info has been very helpful. As far as I know the Super Cub (used in your example) and the Super Cub LP have the same specifications regarding: 1) The all up weight of the plane. 2) The amount of ground clearance we have available for our prop. 3) The wingspan and wing area of our plane. I have identified a Brushless 750kv outrunner motor. Just a little above the estimated 730kv. My queston is how do I identify whether there is a constant current rating of around 12.2 amps. I found this motor on HobbyKing, here is the link: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...0_750Kv_/_245W This particular model does not seem to favored based on the reviews I just saw, but perhaps you could just point me to what I should be looking at. Or there is this 800kv model http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...r_Eq:_AXi_2826 Well, thanks for the info and looking forward to hearing back from you. |

Noflyzone, thank you for helping me figure out the pusher prop set up. I knew it had to be something simple like that, there was a little doubt though, so instead of posibly frying my motor I thought it would be best to ask.
I was also wondering... when you mount a motor conventionally (on the front of the plane) they say you need to give it a little down and right angle.... do i need to place the pusher prop setup at an angle as well? I am thinking there is no need for it when it is a pusher, but again, thought i would ask. Thanks |

And the only way to tell if it needs it, is to fly it. If it needs it, start experimenting with the thrust angles to take out the aberant behavior. There is absolutely no formula that tells us how much down/right we need. Chuck |

President Message 30th International Congress of Psychology
Report on the 30th International Congress of Psychology 22-27th July 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa
Approximately five and half thousand members of the International Congress of Psychology attended the conference held in South Africa. There were over 80 countries represented. Needless to say they were not all members of the International Council of Psychologists, but we did our best to persuade them to be so! Our own membership there was less than a dozen, but those that came found it stimulating to be in South Africa and in Cape Town most especially, and to meet many delegates from other countries.
I had the pleasure of meeting the President of the ICP, Saths Cooper and the Past President, Rainer Silbersen. The theme of the Congress was "Psychology serving Humanity."
The scientific programme was outstanding with many speakers from 80 plus countries. The programme covered such themes as: assessment and evaluation, aviation psychology (medicine) cognitive psychology, community psychology, counselling, culture developmental psychology, educational psychology, and engineering psychology, as well as human factors. Ethics was also on the programme. A total of 44 areas were covered during the six days of the conference including an opening and a closing ceremony.
Our own ICP Inc. get-together was on 26th July. Tara Pir organised matters for our Symposium very well and was very generous in presenting us with a social hour at which time as Discussant, I presented a summary of the organised symposium on "The Challenges and Opportunities of GLOBAL ageing in the Technological Era: From Adolescent to Adulthood to Elder Adulthood".
As Discussant I was asked to summarise the talks given by the three speakers. This now follows.
The first speaker was Justina Aire, Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at St Georges University, Grenada. Justina discussed the effect of developing technology on the normal problems of adolescents as they develop. She mentioned about adolescents as a whole engaging in risky behaviour, but stated that this behaviour was dependent on their genetic makeup as well as their experiences both good and bad. She emphasised the fact that many adolescents were exposed to physical and sexual violence and the explosion of technological development and devices which are ever growing. The policing of this for adults is difficult due to the fact that they do not have an easy grasp of such technologies. The technological devices have led to an unhealthy lifestyle for all, including many young people, who because of their frequent use of computers, suffer from obesity and being less active.
The second speaker was Amos Alao, presently a Professor of Counselling Psychology in the Department of Psychology, Covenant University, Nigeria. Amos spoke about the effect of technology on those aged 17-45 or middle adult stage leading up to 65 years of age. He discussed the development of adolescents as they became more independent and the fact that their roles change. These changes are based on both biological factors, as well as cultural and social factors. They also change cognitively and experience, in many cases, the effects of competition and not being able to obtain jobs, despite having a good education. He mentioned the gender and role changes as individuals became older and more mature. He also noted that women have become more assertive and independent and there have become more increasing conflicts with men as a result. This is also the case in employment opportunities. He emphasised that there is a need to accept changes and that more modern parents tended to be more permissive in their child rearing practices which may not be a good thing for the future.
Our final speaker was Florence Denmark, from Pace University, New York, well known to everyone due to her being an internationally recognised scholar and policy maker. Florence is currently the main NGO representative to the UN for the ICP Inc. and serves on the UN Executive Committees of Ageing, Mental Health, and Family. Florence spoke about the effect of developing technology on the aged. Her first point was that the population of the aged will double between 2000 and 2050. There appears to be an 18-19% increase in the aged over time. She also emphasised the importance of improving the quality of life of those who are older and stressed that older people are not always helpless or incompetent. In certain areas many are still employed and this should be encouraged. They should also have access to technology and adopt a healthy and active lifestyle. There should be more recognition of the role of older parents and grandparents caring for children. She stressed that there was too much emphasis on the elderly suffering from dementia. Many were still active and achieving long into old age. She felt that it was vital to emphasise dignity, health and independence in the elderly. Florence also mentioned the ministerial conference on ageing in Vienna to be held shortly.
I would like to thank all those who attended and say to those who wished to attend but for whatever reason were unable to do so for physical or health reasons and other factors, that we missed your presence. Again may I complement Tara Pir for her excellent organisation skills and making the smallness of our numbers a positive experience rather than a deficit.
All best wishes to our ICP Inc. family,
Ludwig Lowenstein
President of ICP.
My own presentation was on terrorism and was entitled "Terrorists in our midst".

Updates to this story
A web site is alleging that even though there is a huge demand for Apple's iPad 2, there is something wrong with the numbers. There's a big shortage.
TechEye reported on the potential shortage some weeks back. It's to do with components, as far as we understand it.
I4U news claimed today that customers "may end up disappointed" because the Great Big Cupertino company only got a third of the shipments it expected.
Apple Stores, the report continued, have many more iPad 2s than its poor benighted resellers. There are not that many around. Not nearly enough to supply demand. No one has yet established whether demand is greater than supply.
A search on your TechEye using the word "shortage" - gives a hint.

News Corpse blogger Mark Howard chronicles (11/12/08) how "pundits like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, etc." are not just "on the wrong side of public opinion in the recently concluded election," but "are also losing listeners and viewers who are rapidly awakening to the dishonesty and hostility wafting through the conservative media's airwaves":
In a feat of denial, though, the conservative punditry is barreling headlong into a campaign of fear-mongering and frightful tales of censorship. They believe, and hope to persuade others, that Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress are surreptitiously plotting to reinstate the dreaded Fairness Doctrine that their hero, Ronald Reagan, vanquished 20 years ago. Should that happen, they say, their little ideological monopoly of the air will come crashing down. The main problem with their scare tactic is that there is neither substance nor truth in it.
Howard patiently explains that, "what's more, Obama has explicitly stated his opposition to the Doctrine on multiple occasions."
Which is too bad, actually. Read FAIR's magazine Extra!: "The Fairness Doctrine: How We Lost It, and Why We Need It Back" (1-2/05) by Steve Rendall

The National Institute on Out of School Time (NIOST) notes that older students don't participate in afterschool activities as much as younger children. They identify several possible reasons for this: (1) it is more difficult to attract high school students to programs; (2) high school students are less likely to want to stay in the school building; (3) high school students have busier schedules (i.e., family, sibling or home responsibilities); (4) high school students are less likely to attend a program several days a week; (5) high school students often need to work to earn money and contribute to family income; and (6) high school students are more independent and mobile, so they vote with their feet. (Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, 2003)
Another perspective is more holistic and addresses studies in child development and education that link afterschool attendance to better grades, peer relations, academic equity, emotional adjustment and conflict resolution skills (overall resiliency). Thus, constructive use of out-of-school time is a protective factor for youth has been associated with: (1) academic achievement (higher grades and grade point average), recovery from low academic performance, and an interest in furthering their education; (2) a stronger self-image; (3) positive social development; (4) reductions in risk-taking behavior; and (5) better school behavior and fewer absences.
In short, when youth participate in high quality afterschool programs, they are likely to benefit in a myriad of ways. They receive personal attention from caring adults, explore new interests, receive academic support, develop a sense of belonging to a group, develop new friendships with their peers, take on challenging leadership roles and build a sense of self-esteem independent of their academic talent.
It is not surprising that afterschool programs are an easy sell for parents and the community.
- The parents of more than 15 million youngsters say that their children will participate in an afterschool program if one is available in their community. (Afterschool Alliance Poll, 2004)
- Nearly 90 percent of Americans support funding for quality afterschool programs in lowincome neighborhoods as an important aspect of welfare reform programs. (David and Lucile Packard Foundation Poll, Public Views on Welfare Reform and Children in the Current Economy, February 2002)
School leaders, of course, are equally interested in valid research and evaluations of afterschool models before committing scarce resources to them.
The research and literature is growing, although, as Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) researchers point out in a 2003 report, many of the studies of outcomes done since the 1980s are not rigorous in their methodology and have issues such as the inherent difficulty in finding true control groups of children and the common failure to describe treatments and dosages. Many experts warn that afterschool programs should not be pressured into over-promising results they do not have the resources to deliver. As Robert Halpern, chair of the Research Council of the Erickson Institute for Advanced Study in Child Development, says in his 2002 study of afterschool programs:
Not infrequently, one or another child-rearing institution has taken on a role out of a conviction that others were not fulfilling their responsibilities. Afterschool programs, like other institutions, have periodically felt themselves to be a support of first and last resort. Afterschool programs can work as a developmental resource and support for children only to the extent that they are allowed to work from a modest and reasonable story line. And they will only be able to fulfill some of their potential if they themselves are adequately nurtured, supported and protected.
While research and anecdotal evidence exist to suggest that afterschool programs are a positive factor in student achievement, some countervailing reports, most notably the controversial Mathematica evaluation of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC), reached a number of negative conclusions about afterschool students' academic achievement and behavior.
According to the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness and advocacy organization working to ensure that all children and youth have access to afterschool programs by 2010, the methodology used in the Mathematica study was highly suspect . . . as are the findings. While the study found that African American and Hispanic students, as well as girls participating in 21st CCLC's afterschool programs, showed academic gains, in general the results focused on negative outcomes, prompting the Bush Administration to cut FY04 funding from $1 billion to $600 million.
Other critics of the study's methodology note that the findings are based on just one year of data, collected very early in the life of the original 21st CCLC initiative; the study evaluated a very small number of grantees; and the study failed to be representative of the afterschool population.
The rollout of a new evaluation system in 2005 should help to put to rest some of the criticism by ensuring that States have data on the performance of each of their grantees, according to Robert Stonehill, 21st CCLC director. In addition, the National Partnership for Quality Afterschool Learning, which is funded by the Department through a contract with the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory, is identifying promising and exemplary programs, activities and materials that can be adopted by state and local providers to provide rich academic content in afterschool programs that differ from the regular school day but are still standards based.

Nike Apologizes For Carolina Mix-Up
Nike put out a new T-shirt for fans of North Carolina's pro-football team, the Carolina Panthers. The design featured the Panthers logo with the letters NC — all framed by the outline of that other Carolina, South Carolina. Nike has apologized for the error and pulled the remaining shirts.

OK. Let's stick with the sports theme. Nike put out a new T-shirt for fans of North Carolina's pro football team, the Carolina Panthers.

MONTAGNE: The shirt design featured the Panthers logo with the letters NC - all framed by the outline of the other Carolina, South Carolina.
GREENE: Nike has apologized for this error and pulled the remaining shirts.
MONTAGNE: So, aspiring graphic designers might want to consider adding geography to their coursework.

The class I'm teaching this semester at UVU is on running a wedding photography business. Since we can't all go and shoot a wedding each time we meet for class, I'm trying to re-create, in some way, the different stages of a wedding. Last week I had the students come to my studio in Provo and photograph my friend Julie. I wanted to re-create the "getting ready" pictures.
Thank you SO much to the beautiful and charming Flavia from Versa Artisty that came to do Julie's hair and make-up and knocked it out of the park, as always.
And thanks to the always radiant Julie who charmed the pants off everyone in class.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1085 votes).
In short: Great race and brilliant finishIn full: One of my first half marathons and still one of my favourites. I lived in Reading at the time so the roads were all familiar. Reading isn't too exciting but the course makes the best of the town and the finish in the Madejski Stadium is spectacular. I don't understand people complaining that they were "always on a slight incline". That's physically impossible in a race which starts and finishes in the same place. Besides hills are a part of running. If you aren't pushing yourself a bit there's no point..Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Fantastic race, great organisation, and lovely courseIn full: I can't say anything bad about the 2011 race. I traveled down to do it with my sister, and had a great day out, and a new PB! Also her first race, which I think she enjoyed :-)I still however have no idea how they make the course so good, I just hope the same team put on more events!Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Brilliantly organised, and great courseIn full: Reading isn't a city you think of as being great for running (no offense guys), but somehow this course is just fantastic. The only downer is the long slog back up to the stadium. even then though you have a closed road, and a stadium finish ahead!Special mention should also be given to the start, where they properly put the fast people at the front to remove any slowdowns.A huge well-done for a great race.Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Well organised, fantastic stadium finishDate of review: June 3, 2012
In short: A great race for my first Half Marathon Date of review: April 23, 2012
In short: Finish in Madjeski Stadium is spectacularDate of review: April 9, 2012
In short: Thanks to the people of ReadingIn full: First time dong this run and found the support from the crowd unusually good. I stayed at the Madjeski hotel so parking etc. was not an issue and organisation was good, though too many people climbed into unallocated starting pens as they were late arriving making the start congested with slower runners.Drink stations frequent, supplemented by many unofficial drink and jelly baby stations along the way.Stadium finish makes this run and I feel it churlish to say that you are not in there long enough. All points about fluids not being available for some time at finish are correct.Course is pretty much flat ( certainly no Tunbridge Wells ) and had I not been struck down with a bug, a good potential for a PB (many thanks to the 1.40 pace maker incidentally).Will be back next year.Date of review: April 5, 2012
In short: A good race that would be great with a few tweaksIn full: Firstly it's not flat, it's mainly flat! Also, a long (.5 mile?) loop around to get back the stadium is just bad planning, add a mile somewhere else, you can see the stadium 2 miles before you get there.It took about 10 minutes to get from the finish line to the water, which must be fixed. Foil, medal, chip removal and goody bag can wait, get us the fluids!All that said it is a good race and I felt the organization was good excepting the above points. It is big but the advantage is no problems your way to the race village, and the stations on route were all well manned with plenty of local support as well.Date of review: April 5, 2012
In short: I really enjoy everything about this race...except the last 2 miles.In full: I've lived in Reading for 25 years so I'm probably biased but this is my favourite half marathon. I know every twist and turn and I have lots of friends running or watching which helps. To be honest though, there is so much public support for the runners that I'm not sure that it mattered. The people of Reading are very encouraging and supportive.There was a "pinch point" near the Abbey ruins and the last 2 miles is far from attractive but other than that I think it is a fabulous and well organised event.I didn't have problems with my race pack, although the car park permit was a bit late but it still arrived in time.Loved the Mizuno VIP lounge too !If I can keep the fitness levels up then I'll be back next year.Date of review: April 4, 2012
In short: Great finish, fast courseIn full: I only found out I would be running this on the Friday before as a friend had to drop out. It was the first time I had done this race, and now that I have, I will probably be back. I really enjoyed the race due its stadium finish and PB potential.I just wish people would be more realistic as to their times, too many where in the wrong pens, and when you have 16000 runners it really prevents a smooth race for those who are in their right areas at the start.Date of review: April 4, 2012

Construction work on Jädraås - one of Europe's largest onshore wind farms - was initiated in the autumn of 2011. One and a half year later, all 66 wind turbines had been erected.
Jädraås, situated in Ockelbo, a municipality about 30 kilometres west of Gävle, is in many ways an optimal location for the production of wind power. The wind farm is built on a large site situated at a high altitude and with good wind conditions. The location also has several advantages as a quarry, gravel pits and other elements facilitating the implementation of the project are close by.
The project has a permit to build a total of 116 wind turbines. The first investment phase comprises 66 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 203 MW. When Arise acquired the Jädraås Project the permit was granted. Financing, detailed planning, grid connection and procurement of suppliers had not been made. Taking the project from permit to start of construction has been a considerable task largely undertaken with our own staff. This is one reason why we have been able to work so efficiently.
Construction included the creation of a road network, the casting of foundations, transport of materials, establishment of electricity grids, as well as the construction and installation of the 119-metre high turbines.
There are several challenges along the route to a wind farm of this size. The weather is just one of these. Building a wind farm of this scale is a challenge for everyone. Snow and cold does not make a project easier. It requires skilled project management to ensure that we do the right things in the right order. Our staff provides support for suppliers who are not used to working this far north.
Many parties are involved in a project such as Jädraås. For certain periods, there were between 50 and 80 people working on the site. NCC assisted in the construction of the infrastructure, Vestas was the primary supplier wind turbines including components and technology, ABB delivered transformers and Siemens the switchgear. Arise managed the overall project management of the entire project. Experienced and competent management kept the schedule and even managed to come in slightly under budget.
The Jädraås Project is well aligned to all parts of the Arise business model whose stated aims are to build, own and operate wind power and to sell electricity from these. Acquiring and taking over a site which has already been granted the necessary permits and has good conditions for production, together with a partner, corresponds well to how Arise wishes to run its business. This gives us the opportunity to be involved in all phases, from construction to commissioning. We get to know our wind farm and its conditions, which is a good basis on which to continue to operate and optimise the operations.
Being operationally involved in all phases of the project means that Arise is well equipped for the tasks inherent to the on-going management of the wind farm.
The Jädraås Project has been well accepted since its initial phase and the commitment and interest from the local village community has been considerable. The project has brought jobs to the area, but also other positive effects. Among other things, the sports facility in Jädraås received a substantial facelift through one of the parties involved in the project. For Ockelbo Municipality, it has been important to capitalise on the positive development the wind farm can bring to the Municipality.
Project start: 16 November 2011
Total number of turbines: 66
Final installed output: 203 MW
Estimated production: 570 GWh
Owner: Arise 50 %, Platina Partners LLP 50 %
Project management: Installation of wind turbines, construction, electricity and data connections
Suppliers involved: NCC, Vestas, Siemens, ABB, Vattenfall Services Nordic AB, Eltel
Tower height: 119 m
Rotor diameter: 112 m
Swept area: 9,852 m2
Rotor speed: 6.2-17.7 rpm
Life expectancy: 25 years (wind turbines)

4,000 tonnes of reinforcment bars
200 jobs
100 beds in surrounding hotels and guest houses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:Wednesday, July 25, 2012
CONTACT: Air National Guard Capt. Kinder Blacke720-847-6164
TOWAOC, Colo. (7/24/12) – The Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Medical Group kicked off a five-day health fair, better known as Operation CoCare, with an opening ceremony at the Ute Mountain Recreation Center in southwest Colorado July 24.
The fair is in conjunction with the fourth annual Tri Ute games competition being hosted by the Ute Mountain Tribe in Towaoc.
The Adjutant General of Colorado, Maj. Gen. H. Michael Edwards, attended as a guest speaker at the opening ceremony. Also attending was Brig. Gen. Trulan Eyre, commander of the 140th Wing; and Brig. Gen. Rick Martin, commander of the Colorado Air National Guard.
"It's really a privilege and an honor to be with you today," said Edwards. "Take advantage of the health fair; it's a great opportunity to have your overall health checked and to spend some time with our wonderful folks of the 140th Medical Group."
Eighty-two members of the 140th Medical Group will perform screenings for hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes and weight management issues, as well as provide dental and hearing consultations, and sports physicals. The health fair features an interactive area where children can learn simple first aid, try out some medical equipment, and learn about what medical professionals do in the military.
"We have a comprehensive collection of medical capabilities here to serve you," said Col. Paul Shingledecker, commander of the 140th Medical Group. "We have physicians, nurses, physician assistants, medical technicians, dentists and assorted other professionals working with us."
In addition to the health fair, the 140th Medical Group is providing an emergency medical team to administer first aid services during the Tri Ute Games.
Three Ute tribes are coming together for the four-day competition that includes basketball, golf, ultimate warrior triathlon, girls volleyball, swimming, archery, bowling, hand games, skateboarding and cross country.
The Ute Mountain reservation comprises parts of southwest Colorado, southeast Utah and northern New Mexico. There are two communities on the Ute reservation, the Tribal Headquarters in Towoac, Colo., and the Small Community at White Mesa, Utah.
The 140th Medical Group has also conducted clinics throughout El Salvador in 2009 and for the homeless community of Oahu, Hawaii in 2010.
Such clinics allow the unit to conduct hands-on, real-world missions tailored to the unit's unique capabilities while providing assistance to communities.
For media inquiries about Operation CoCare, please contact Capt. Kinder Blacke, 140th Wing Public Affairs, at 720-847-6164, firstname.lastname@example.com.
