In late 2002, terrorists fired surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli airliner departing from Mombasa, Kenya--the first time man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) had been used to attack commercial aircraft in a non-combat zone. Given concerns about the vulnerability of the commercial airline industry and the potential impact of an attack in the United States, the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Aviation Subcommittee, requested that we conduct an assessment of the federal government's efforts to address the MANPADS threat against commercial aircraft, including its nature and extent; the Department of Defense's monitoring of Stinger missiles exported to other countries; and U.S. bilateral and multilateral efforts to address international MANPADS proliferation. After we began work on this assessment, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took steps to initiate a 2-year system development and demonstration program for a counter-MANPADS system and awarded the initial contracts in January 2004. On December 4, 2003, we briefed Congress on our views about DHS's approach to developing the system. This report summarizes that information and transmits the portion of the briefing related to DHS's counter-MANPADS development effort. Our assessment of the other federal efforts to address the threat is ongoing, and we expect to complete our report in the spring of 2004.
DHS faces significant challenges in adapting a military counter-MANPADS system to commercial aircraft. These challenges include establishing system requirements, maturing technology and design, and setting reliable cost estimates. For instance, DHS has to account for a wide variety of aircraft types in designing and integrating the system. Our past work on the best practices of product developers in government and industry has found that the use of a knowledge-based approach is a key factor in successfully addressing such challenges. This approach includes the use of exit criteria or controls to ensure that sufficient knowledge has been attained at critical phases of the product development process. Based on input we provided during the course of our review, DHS updated its initial solicitation to incorporate these knowledge-based exit criteria. We think this a positive first step, and we are recommending that the Secretary of Homeland Security ensure that the knowledgebased approach is fully implemented throughout the course of its counter-MANPADS development program. DHS fully concurred.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In October 2006 DHS Science and Technology Directorate awarded contracts to support efforts to develop aircraft-based solutions to protect commercial aircraft from man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). The firms would evaluate and demonstrate over an 18 month period emerging counter-MANPADS technology solutions that show the most promise in defeating the threat. DHS and DOD was to assess the maturity and effectiveness of relevant technologies, and application of resources. DHS said the early two phases of development showed that system reliability was not where it needed to be for the commercial environment and chose to add a third phase. Military systems with a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 300 to 400 hours was not considered suitable for the commercial environment. In Phase III, an operational test and evaluation phase, the systems were to demonstrate the ability to achieve a Mean Time Between Failure of 3,000 hours, get operations and support costs to $350 per flight and bring the system price down to $1 million per copy when produced in lots of 1,000. Phase III operational tests ended this summer, with a report due to Congress by the end of the year. However, while the results of the final tests are pending there is concern that the future of the program is uncertain. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA)in a July 2008 white paper concurred with the Air Transport Association that the airlines cannot afford the cost of buying and maintaining counter MANPADS systems for their fleets. The ALPA instead supports development, certification, and installing the Propulsion-Controlled Aircraft (PCA) system which they believe would be a fraction of the cost of installing MANPADS countermeasures. The PCA is a computer-assisted engine control system that enables a pilot to land an airplane safely when its normal control surfaces such as elevators, rudders, and ailerons are disabled. PCA enables the flight crew to safely fly and land an airplane equipped with a flight management system (FMS) and full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) whose flight control systems have been rendered inoperative. NASA has successfully demonstrated this technology on several types of airplanes, including those in the large transport category. The current FY2010 budget has not requested further funding for the counter MANPADS program.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security should fully adopt the knowledgebased approach, including the use of exit criteria, to help ensure that key decisions in DHS's effort to develop and demonstrate a counter-MANPADS system are based on sufficient information.

One of the frustrating things about adjuncting is that it's particularly hard to attend nice arty things, like screenings of my film.
B&R played in Athens a few hours back and of course I'd love to visit Greece.
But it's really, REALLY frustrating when the screenings are in your own back yard and I can't make it.
The Crossroads Film Festival in Jackson, Mississippi looks like a hoot and it's maddening to not attend.
I hope they dig it there when it plays in a few weeks.

Bottersnikes and Gumbles again
Bottersnikes and Gumbles was a series of books by Australian author S.A. Wakefield and illustrated by Desmond Digby.
I was crazy for them when I was a kid.
Sadly they're out of print and can only be found on Ebay for exorbitant prices.
Digby's illustrations were very influential on me as a kid but you probably won't see it much in my work.
The series revolved around a group of creatures called the Bottersnikes, the bad guys and the Gumbles, the good guys.
The Gumbles are kind of like Australian Wombles and I wonder now if that was on purpose.
The whole thing is set in the Australian bush.
I was always particularly taken by the colour plates.
Very painterly.
I wish I had them onhand to scan instead of having to pick from the internet.

Terry Gilliam made a film I love called "Time Bandits".
He described it as a film that children would enjoy and adults wouldn't be embarrassed to see, which it is, but it's more than that.
Which is the best introduction I can think of to encourage you all to seek out Strangebeard by the excellent Canadian, Kelly Tindall.
Strangebeard details the adventures of Jenny Brigham who on her 12th birthday discovers that she's the reincarnation of the legendary pirate, Augustus Strangebeard.
This supernatural inheritance imbibes her with a number of powers that are more fun to read about in the comic than to have me tell you.
She's joined on her adventures by Sluggo Sealock, a kind of Tintinish Captain Haddock, and her Boston Terrier, Lemmy.
The villain of the piece of Memoria Morder, one of the Pirate Masters.
Kelly has drawn the whole business in a very accessible hand that is appealing to young readers but is sophisticated enough in it's storytelling to engage all ages (like Time Bandits, children will enjoy it and adults won't be embarrassed to read it).
My four year old leapt onto it and pored over it for a good 40 minutes but it's intended for older children, really.
It is easy to imagine parents reading the book with the kids and in that it serves as a great introduction to the comic form.
It's noteworthy that the lead character is a young girl as we don't see enough interesting woman characters in popular books and film.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to everyone but I think parents with girls should have it on the bedtime roster as soon as possible.
A good chunk of the book is available online but you can buy a paperback copy here and then there's a good chance you could infect your child with the spirit of the book and then maybe one day they'll make their own Strangebeard and the world will be a jollier place because of it.

5 Life Hacks That You Probably Didn't Think Of Until Now.
1) See that roll of white paper next to the toilet? Try wiping your bum with it after you take a shit.
Stop wiping when there's no brown on the paper. No more bleeding rash!
2) Hungry? Put food in your mouth and chew it. Then swallow. Yum!
3) Need to get someplace? Try walking or driving or taking public transport. You'll get there eventually.
4) Tired? Yawning? Close your eyes for a while and see what happens. Crazy!
5) Full bladder? Make wee-wees! Do it wherever you like, just don't let anyone see your willy!

About Mehmm.. What is there to say about myself? Well my Name is Amy Paige, and I'm a student at San Jacinto College South. I enjoy the outdoors, body modification, and anything that has to do with music. I'm very interested in modeling and I'd love to make a career out of it.
I am not looking to do any nude shoots, so please do not ask me. I also ask that if I have not worked with a photographer before that I may bring an escort along. For the most part I like to do my own hair and make up, but if you have a MUA that you'd like for me to use for your shoot, please let me know before hand and how much the MUA will charge for the session.
Considering that I am just starting out in the modeling industry, TF shoots are a great help for me and if you'd like to work with me let me know. I am also interested in paid work so please don't hesitate to contact me for anything!
Have a great day and check out my portfolio!

ESA's Rosetta orbiter is preparing to make a daring 6 km (3.7 miles) pass of one of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko's most active regions – an area on the comet's larger lobe designated as Imhotep. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, mission controllers are expecting to see an exponential increase in volatile activity, and ESA hopes that the new orbits planned for the little probe will allow scientists to gain a better understanding of these effects.

Ode To Shakespeare
If of English Literature, you are a connoisseur,
It is impossible to overlook the works of 'William Shakespeare'.
Through poetry and drama, he earned his high repute,
The dead bard still reigns the literary world, without dispute.
'Jealousy' and 'Revenge' are the underlying themes of 'Othello' and 'Hamlet',
A tribute to 'Love' is 'Romeo and Juliet'.
His works depict a variety of human emotions,
After analyzing them, people express different views and notions.

|HistoricBridges.org offers professional photo-documentation, information, and advocacy for all types of historic bridges except covered bridges. North American coverage radiates outward from
Michigan, with Pennsylvania, Chicago, and Ontario being coverage highlights as well. HistoricBridges.org places an unparalleled priority on comprehensive and detail-oriented photo-documentation of each bridge presented. In
addition, HistoricBridges.org strongly advocates for the reform of surface transportation policy and fights to increase awareness of the feasibility of historic bridge preservation. HistoricBridges.org is guided by the
philosophy that placing a greater funding focus on the maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of existing bridges, whether historic or not, is the the best solution for a country's aging and deteriorating bridges.

Bridge Spotlight:Approximate Time Remaining Until All United States Historic Metal Truss Bridges Not Preserved Are Demolished:
A Tale of Two Cities: Trying To Save Bridges In Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario
On either side of the St. Clair River, which divides the United States and Canada, two ongoing fights for two historic bridges continue to work to save significant community landmarks from demolition.
Old Lakeshore Road Bridge
Located in Sarnia Ontario, and also called the Cull Drain Bridge, this is an exceedingly rare surviving example of a bridge documented as having been built by the Sarnia-based firm of Jenks-Dresser. Built in 1910, the bridge is also technologically significant on a provincial level as an early surviving example of a polygonal Warren truss bridge in Ontario. Most pony truss bridges built during this period did not have polygonal top chords. Finally, the bridge's 100 foot length is fairly long for a pony truss built during this time.
This bridge has been closed to vehicular traffic for many years, but was a popular crossing for pedestrians walking along the beautiful Lake Huron shoreline until it was closed to pedestrians following an inspection. Now there is a debate about whether to restore the bridge or demolish it.

Looking For A Pedestrian or Light Vehicular Bridge?Whether you are a park, trail organization, college, city, or private landowner, you want your property to be something unique and special. Why settle for a boring, dull pre-fabricated pedestrian bridge when you can get a beautiful historic bridge to do the same thing? Many states maintain a list of bridges which you can acquire, relocate and restore, and other individually listed opportunities often are available. These bridges normally can be acquired free of charge, so use the money you were going to put toward buying a pre-fab bridge and instead use it to restore the bridge. Not sure how to restore a bridge? HistoricBridges.org can help guide you to people and firms that can help, or you can just get in touch with Bach Steel. Note: these bridges will be demolished if nobody acquires them.

View An Introduction To Historic Bridges
March 12, 2015 - Ohio Update AddedA large update for bridges in Ohio, with a focus on adding unusual, rare, and significant bridges to the Bridge Browser, has been completed and released.
View The Latest Additions To The Website
March 3, 2015 - New View County Bridges On Google Map OptionGoogle apparently has nothing better to do these days than to end supporting technologies that "the little guys" like us spent a lot of time adapting to our website. For that reason, at the end of February HistoricBridges.org's old links to view a Google Map showing bridges in a particular county stopped working thanks to Google ending support for the method we used to display the maps.
We had to rebuild the feature to view a particular county's bridges on a Google map from scratch as a result using the new system. We are not experts at Google APIs... but we think we have the new system working. If you notice problems, please contact us. Assuming it works, we have to admit it probably is a little nicer than our old system. Clicking on a pushpin will show the bridge name, type, and even the thumbnail photo of the bridge, which our old map didn't do. Moreover, if you are logged into a Google Account with personalized favorite locations, those should show up on the map as well. So you can see if any bridges are near places you have marked on your personal map, etc.
The link to view a county's bridges in a Google Map will appear in the same location, in a county page, right below the county title.
Here is a direct link to a sample map for our new coverage area, Duval County, Florida
March 2, 2015 - SE USA UpdateA large update with bridges for the SE USA has been released. It includes portions of northern Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and northeastern Alabama.
February 6, 2015 - Misc. UpdateA group of bridges from various places including Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ontario have been released.
February 3, 2015 - Pacific Northwest Update CompleteAll bridges from the Pacific Northwest trip have now been added to the website.
January 1, 2015 - Pacific Northwest Official Halfway Update ReleaseAdding bridges to the Pacific Northwest continues, and is about halfway done. To celebrate this moment and the new year, these bridges have been officially added to the Bridge Browser, which meant adding four previously unlisted states into the Bridge Browser. All the British Columbia bridges have been added. Remaining work for this update is focused on Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon.
December 4, 2014 - Pacific Northwest UpdatesAdding bridges to the Pacific Northwest continues. In addition to new bridges currently being added, four existing pages (for highly significant bridges), which previously had only guest photos have been supplemented with a traditional in-house full detail-oriented photo-documentation by HistoricBridges.org. The bridges are:
Niagara Canyon Bridge
Cowichan River Railway Bridge
Johnson Street Bridge
Pattullo Bridge
November 26, 2014 - Belated Historic Bridge Awareness MonthNovember is Historic Bridge Awareness Month and ironically we at HistoricBridges.org haven't been able to devote as much time to promoting this awareness effort this year as we had hoped, as we found ourselves busy working with historic bridges: adding one of the greatest coverage increases ever to the Bridge Browser, that of Washington State and neighboring areas including British Columbia, while also conducting a bridge documentation in the southeastern United States and the potentially incredible discovery that a swing bridge in Florida may be the oldest swing bridge in the country.
In 2015, we plan to work with other organizations to better promote Historic Bridge Awareness Month.
Meanwhile, Craig Holstine, historian for Washington State Department of Transportation was interviewed today by Chris Hansen for a talk show on KPQ Radio about Historic Bridge Awareness Month and Washington State's beautiful historic bridges (which we are in progress of adding to HistoricBridges.org). The excellent interview on KPQ embodies the spirit of Historic Bridge Awareness Month. Click here to listen to a recording of the interview.
November 5, 2014 - A Few More Pacific Northwest BridgesA few more bridges from the Pacific Northwest trip have been added. As the bridges are being added to the website, they won't initially be available through the maps and menus of the Bridge Browser until an official update package is released. You can however preview the bridges using the link below. Check back off and on as more bridges may be added to the list.

Optimized Simple Bounds for Diversity Systems
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Diversity techniques play a key role in modern wireless systems, whose design benefits from a clear understanding of how these techniques affect system performance. To this aim the authors propose a simple class of bounds, whose parameters are optimized, on the Symbol Error Probability (SEP) for detection of arbitrary two-dimensional signaling constellations with diversity in the presence of non-ideal channel estimation. Unlike known bounds, the optimized simple bounds are tight for all Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) of interest. In addition, these bounds are easily invertible, which enables one to obtain bounds on the Symbol Error Outage (SEO) and SNR penalty.

cherry tomatoes instead of roma
Hi, new here.
This is my first garden. I planted 24 tomato plants that I bought from a nursery. They all had the little plastic tags stuck in them and said they were all roma plants. My plants are starting to produce and I realized today that I have 24 cherry tomato plants instead of roma. I am very disappointed as I wanted roma tomatoes to can salsa, sauce, and tomatoes. What should I do with all these cherry tomatoes? Since they aren't a meaty tomato can I make sauce with them or cut them in halves and can them for chili? Will they work for salsa? I have the option of taking them to a farmers market if they aren't good for canning, but I am hoping that I can use them.
You can still use them for sauce or salsa and can them, they'll be much sweeter than Roma's and a bit more liquidy. Don't bother skinning or reseeding, just toss them in a blender and simmer it down (for sauce) or chop (for salsa). They might even produce more pounds of tomatoes per plant, if they're indeterminate types.
Definitely call the nursery though, perhaps they'll refund your money.
This has been one of the worst years I've seen for mislabeled plants at local stores. I've seen cabbage that turned out to be collards, cauliflower that turned out to be kohlrabi, beefsteak tomatoes that wound up being cherries, and bell peppers that were actually hot peppers. These were all produced by one large plant grower that blankets the SouthEast with seedlings.
If the nuesery raises their own plants then it was the fault of one of the nursery workers who put the wrong labels in the wrong place. it happens.
But if the nursery subcontracts out for the plants they sell and they already come wrongly labelled that's another story. And that happens as well/
But at this time of the year I can't see any nursery still having good plants to sell.At a couple of places where I read there are stories of folks picking up overgrown very large plants that were outside and not taken care of and paying some ridiculos price for them/
Maybe some of you have local nurseries that still have excellent healthy plants, but we here in the tundra are about the last to put out our plants and for those who buy their plants. And word is that's all that's left at some places are the yellow leaved disease speckled very tall plants.
I'm very sorry you had such an experience with your first year garden. If you have to travel so far to find decent looking plants, next year you might consider starting your own seedlings from seed indoors. It is not terribly difficult (lots of good info on this forum), and with the variety of seed sources online, would allow you to try many varieties of roma/paste tomatoes to find the most productive/best suited to your taste. While commercial seed mix-ups also happen, they're far less common as seed companies stake their legitimacy on having accurately labeled and pure seed.
Starting your own plants and saving seed adds a whole new level to the enjoyment of gardening, and offers you a greater level of control over your gardening experience.
Thanks for all responses. I have contacted the nursery and am waiting for a managers response. I am going to try to use up these cherry tomatoes. I started everything in my garden by seed myself except the tomatoes. I will definitely not be afraid to try seedlings myself next time.

America asks the question we've all sometimes asked about the Commonwealth Games: Why is this still a thing?
- From: News Corp Australia
- July 23, 2014
IT took a British-born comedian on his American show to ask the question many have quietly wondered over the years.
Why is the Commonwealth Games still a thing?
With the Glasgow event kicking off tomorrow, with little buzz and lead-in fanfare, it's a timely question to ask.
And it's one hilariously posed by British-born comedian John Oliver on his hit US show Last Week Tonight.
THE TOP 10 international stars of the Commonwealth Games
"What the f*** are the Commonwealth Games, other than the winner of the creepiest mascot on earth competition?" the segment began.
"Imagine the Olympics without the United States, China and Russia. Then, imagine a track meet dominated by strangers from Wales, and you have the Commonwealth Games."
The Games began in the 1930s, just as the British Empire "was beginning to fall flat on its face, and for some reason continued to this day".
It's a little known fact that the concept was originally spawned from an idea to stage a fishing competition between members of the British Empire.
With such auspicious roots, it's hard to understand why so many people think it has become a boring and redundant exercise.
But that's the view. And according to a stack of online polls and surveys, the punters are in agreement.
Even the abbreviation for the body that oversees the event, the Commonwealth Games Federation, aptly sums up the feeling of most. CGF — as in, couldn't give a ...
You get the point.
Persisting with the event is like gathering together the countries they've lost and "finding a way to lose to them once more", he jibed, in reference to the United Kingdom's sporting prowess.
Oliver's segment continued with the blunt assessment that even the opening and closing ceremonies of Commonwealth Games past have been underwhelming.
Typically, they're "what an off Broadway version of the Olympics ceremony would look like".
"From irritated in Victoria, to damp in Manchester, to bored in Melbourne."
But it's not just a British in America poking fun. Closer to home, SBS2 show The Feed also weighed in last night with a segment about the Games titled "Nobody Cares".
Host Marc Fennell described this year's event as "the Val Kilmer Batman of sporting events" — easy to forget.
The Games give nations the chance to unite over their common love of sport "and the fact their indigenous populations were once terrorised by the British", he said.
In Fennell's view, one of the things to make previous Games interesting was the shambolic preparation lead-up.
Take Dehli's hosting four years ago.
It gave people something to talk about and poke fun of, so perhaps Glasgow's supreme planning and execution has been dull by comparison, Fennell wondered.
Maybe he's right. Dehli's corrupt officials, dodgy stadiums and streets literally filled with poop probably did make competitive lawn bowls more palatable.Originally published as What the world thinks about the Comm Games
