In 1977, a committee of the board of directors of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (now the American Association of Community Colleges, AACC) created the "Task force on the Uses of Mass Media for Learning." In 1993, the renamed Instructional Technology Council, ITC, became its own separate non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. ITC is an affiliated council of the AACC and represents nearly 400 institutions that offer distance education courses to their students in the United States, Canada and around the world.
Headquartered in Washington, D. C., ITC is staffed by the ITC executive director and ITC membership services coordinator.
ITC is a leader in advancing distance education. ITC's mission is to provide exceptional leadership and professional development in higher education to its network of eLearning practitioners by advocating, collaborating, researching, and sharing exemplary, innovative practices and potential in educational technologies. ITC tracks federal legislation that will affect distance learning, conducts annual professional development meetings, supports research, and provides a forum for members to share expertise and materials.
ITC members include single institutions and multi-campus districts; regional and statewide systems of community, technical and two-year colleges; for-profit organizations; four-year institutions; and, non-profit organizations that are interested or involved in instructional telecommunications.
ITC offers institutional and corporate memberships. The institutional membership rate is $495 per year. Institutional memberships are available to single or district community, technical, or two-year colleges; four-year institutions, or non-profit organizations. A designated contact is the voting representative and distributes the member benefits across his or her institution. The corporate membership rate is $750 per year. Corporate memberships are available to for-profit organizations. This membership is non-voting, but members receive all other ITC benefits and discounts.
ITC 2013-16 Strategic Planning Document

Optical imaging with a directional detector
JOSA A, Vol. 21, Issue 5, pp. 707-712 (2004)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (268 KB)
We demonstrate a new optical imaging technique based on a directional detector that measures the intensity of light waves that propagate only in a narrow angular window around a specific direction. Light waves that propagate in other directions do not significantly affect the detector output. The directional detector is obtained by illuminating the interrogated object with a high-coherence light source and measuring the interference between the light wave reflected from the object and a reference wave. By measuring the intensity of the interference pattern with an optical detector that has a finite width and moving the object by use of a rotation stage, one can obtain the angular directionality of the filter. The use of coherent detection in the directional detector makes it possible to increase the sensitivity of the system. The directional detector was analyzed theoretically and demonstrated experimentally for a Gaussian beam scattered from a conducting cylinder. The interference enabled us to theoretically increase the angular resolution by a factor of ∼10 and experimentally by a factor of 8.5. A configuration for using a directional detector array to reconstruct a two-dimensional object is suggested. Since the directional detector makes it possible to reduce the effect of diffraction and scattering, reconstruction techniques based on nondiffracting sources, as implemented in x-ray tomography, may be used.

Love, war, and commerce converge in this lush, epic story of a woman who follows her love to Paris, only to find herself marooned, pregnant, and penniless. Set around France's Second Empire, where absinthe, prostitution, vast wealth, and cataclysmic social upheaval abound, this novel delicately explores the contrary requirements of a woman's survival.
Carole DeSanti, known for her championing of independent, high-quality voices in women's fiction as an editor at Penguin, has been clandestinely writing The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R. for over a decade. She has been profiled in Poets & Writers' Magazine, published in the Women's Review of Books, and awarded fellowships at the Five College Women's Studies Research Center and Hedgebrook.
- "I will be your protector," Stephan tells Eugénie in chapter one, as she prepares to leave for Paris. Why is she vulnerable to betrayal, again and again? As she matures, how does she reconcile her need for a protector with her need for independence?
"I lost myself whole-heartedly in [Eugénie's] story, and would have followed her down any narrow alley, into any candlelit room, just to know what happened, to stay back there and to delay coming home." —Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress
"The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R. is an arresting tale of what it meant to survive as a woman in 19th-century France. With spare, powerful prose Carole DeSanti's debut novel paints an unflinching portrait of love and loss against a landscape of Parisian decadence." — Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches
"Epic times make for epic books. The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R. is both sweeping in scope and painstaking in detail. Eugénie R.'s story, from naive goosegirl to resilient survivor, makes for wonderful, suspenseful reading, but tumultuous Paris is equally compelling, laid out here by DeSanti in all her grisly or gorgeous glory." — Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club
"Against a carefully recreated landscape of France and the City of Lights during the 1860s, with the Prussian army heading for Paris, DeSanti brings a 21st-century sensitivity for the plight and passions of women in her rendering of Eugénie and the women and men she comes to travel (and drink) among." —Mireille Guiliano, internationally best-selling author of French Women Don't Get Fat
"Reading The Unruly Passions of Eugénie R. is like entering a lush dream filled with beauty and brutality. This astonishing debut is a panoramic story of war and peace, love and betrayal, innocence and hard-won wisdom, told through the eyes of a compelling woman who kept me at her side through it all." —Lauren Belfer, author of A Fierce Radiance
"So richly and sensuously drawn one can almost feel it . . . Perhaps if [Eugénie's] contemporary, Emma Bovary, had possessed the ingenuity, wit, and tenacity of Eugénie R., Madame B. wouldn't have had to take that arsenic." — Valerie Martin, author of The Confessions of Edward Day
"Lord! This is a great piece of work. How beautifully this is written. How rare that is to discover on the page." — Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out Of Carolina
"A magnificent novel in scope and achievement, powerfully written yet delicately evocative." — Fay Weldon

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
There were law enforcement exhibits in the lobby, in the hallways, in the meeting rooms from one end of the rambling convention center to the other. And they had a lot of great products on display. Here's a look at our favorites from this year's SHOT.
The newest ballistic vests for everyday use under your uniform.
To help give you some insight into what you'll actually need on the street, the editors of POLICE Magazine contacted a number of veteran officers and asked them to give you some advice. Here's what they had to say.
How much is a cop's safety worth? Despite safety concerns, due to shrinking budgets it's becoming increasingly common for police departments to require officers to purchase their own body armor. Even when agencies pony up some money for ballistic vests, it's usually not enough to buy the best of the best—which is what most officers want protecting them from bodily harm.

The introduction of inflation targeting in 2006, together with important economic developments such as dedollarization, marked the beginning of a new macroeconomic framework in Armenia, which is likely to have changed the effectiveness of monetary policy. This paper is the first attempt to analyze whether the transmission mechanism in Armenia has been subject to a structural break by employing a Markov-Switching VAR framework. Results support the existence of such a structural break around the time inflation targeting was introduced and reduced levels of dollarization were observed. Results from introducing a threshold variable into this framework furthermore show that reduced levels of dollarization are an important determinant of the effectiveness of monetary policy.

Assisted by a key speakers featured during the next few days, Peter Brown, will tell the story of how and why the decision was made to bring such a diverse group of people together, and highlight the core message that every major success story in technology deployment today does involves Cloud Computing...
14.00 |
OPENING SESSION: UNDERSTANDING & OVERCOMING BARRIERS FOR FASTER CLOUD ADOPTION Respected international experts agree that the main advantages of Cloud Computing are reduced cost of ownership, no capital investment, scalability, self-service, location independence and rapid deployment. So what continues to prevent faster Cloud adoption? One of the main issues is lack of "TRUST." Trust is not easily defined, but most people agree that when it comes to Cloud Computing, transparency is essential to creating trust. Governments and businesses must be able to see that Cloud service providers are complying with agreed security, privacy, and data management standards and practices, while suppliers of Cloud technologies and services remain well equipped to provide the necessary controls. This session will examine the top barriers and risks identified in recent reports by two leading international organisations that are preventing the wide spread Cloud Computing adoption, as well as their proposals and recommendations on mitigating those risks. |

AS4 has the potential to become the standard for inter-cloud integration. From an integration perspective there are two key layers that make up an integration stack, these are the messaging layer and the payload layer. Even integration teams within companies like Cisco are looking at messaging standards like AS4 to facilitate inter-cloud interaction.
A key challenge in cloud computing is the interoperability among various cloud providers. This will continue to be a challenge until interoperability requirements are standardized to support business exchanges. AS4 helps to address this challenge for the messaging layer. The combination of standardized transports and message content will help facilitate critical adoption levels, continuing to drive down costs, and improve time to capability for business exchanges over the internet.

What are the practical concerns which would dictate the decision to store data, e.g. the "Swine Flu" database in the public Cloud? On what basis can personal medical records be stored in shared facilities and possibly exported from the country? How can sets of personal data be shared between professionals across departments without compromising the laws applying to privacy? And how would sharing services across multiple departments affect the "hosting" department decisions on information risk management? The UK G-Cloud programme prepared inputs on several of these topics in its work reported in 2010, URL. However, there are no firm conclusions or changes in policy as of yet which would guide the Senior Information Risk Officer (SIRO) in her/his decision making in this area. Some further work and clarity is required to identify the key principles and assumptions which apply. For example, what are the key security concerns for government in transmitting and storing data beyond the firewall? What principles apply to the location of storage and exportation within the current jurisdiction, e.g. UK versus European Economic Area (EEA) versus global operations of service providers? This interactive session seeks to bring the community up-to-date on thinking in this area and provide practical examples in the public domain, for example the Police UK database of crime statistics. |

The move to Cloud Computing brings with it a number of special challenges when it comes to security. One particular area is that of identity and access management - managing who can access information is fundamental to information security. Cloud computing has introduced two key changes:
firstly although responsibility for access management still lies within the organization, the IAM technology is physically distributed; secondly individuals now have significant presence in IT systems outside of the organization. In this session, the panellists will address some of these concerns including:

Ten miles as the crow flies west-southwest from the heart of Fairplay rests Sheep Mountain. Accessible on all sides by graded roads, 4x4 Forest Service roads and trails, Sheep Mountain remains surprisingly quiet and alone. Providing tremendous and varied views in all directions, solitude on this mountain is maintained likely because there is no trail to the summit and it's "only" a high 12er.Views from the summit of 12,818 ft. Sheep Mountain include (clockwise from the north):
- An up-close and personal look at Pennsylvania Mountain (13,006 ft.) to the north
- The Kenosha and Tarryall Mountains to the east-northeast
- South Park to the East
- East Buffalo Peak (13,300 ft.) and West Buffalo Peak (13,326 ft.) to the south
- Weston Peak (13,572 ft.) and Ptarmigan Peak (13,738 ft.) sit off to the southwest
- Horseshoe Mountain (13,898 ft.), Peerless Mountain (13,348 ft.) and Mount Sheridan (13,748 ft.) are to the west
- Mount Sherman (14,036 ft.) and Gemini Peak (13,951 ft.) rise to the northwest
Colorado Rank: 771st highest mountain in CO
Colorado 12ers Rank: 134th highest 12er in CO
Mountain Range: Tenmile-Mosquito
Prominence: Approximately 760 ft.
USGS Quad: Fairplay West
Trails Illustrated Map: #110
Getting There & Route Overview
Route | Approximate Mileage | Approximate Elevation Gain | Seasonal Note | Driving Directions |
Southeast Ridge | 8.5 miles roundtrip | 2,590 ft. | Southern exposure makes this a good option for the shoulder season | Hwy 285 to Rt 658 (north of Weston Pass Road). Follow signs to Browns Pass. |
Fourmile Creek | 6.5 miles roundtrip | 2,200 ft. | Northern exposure makes this a good option for hot summer days | Hwy 285 to Rt 18 (Fourmile Road) to the Horseshoe Campground. |
Red Tape, Restrictions, Etc.
Few formal restrictions apply to this area as it lies outside of federally-designated wilderness. Follow LNT (Leave No Trace) principals and be courteous of other recreationalists. The map suggests the existence of privately-owned mining claims on Sheep Mountain. The summit proper sits on public property. It is possible to summit this mountain without setting foot on a private mining claim. That being said, none of the private holdings are posted.
Camping & Lodging
Fourmile Creek Route
The US Forest Service operates two campsites along Fourmile Road: Horseshoe Campsite and Fourmile Campsite.
Southeast Ridge Route
Limited water is available on Browns Pass Road shortly after the ascent begins at about 10,500 ft. If camping above this point, plan on either hauling plenty of water or dry-camping.
Fairplay Hotels
Several hotels are available in the nearby town of Fairply, approximately 8 miles north of this area on Hwy 285.
Weather & Seasons
Sheep Mountain can be a year-round hike for those interested. The mileage of a winter outing greatly depends on how far west the approach roads are plowed. The Fourmile Creek route would likely be uninviting in snow season due to avalanche threat on the steep, ribbed slopes. The Southeast Ridge route could be used in snow season to gain the summit under the right conditions by an experienced party.External Links

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) is throwing its weight behind vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems. After years of experimentation and a real-world trial in Ann Arbor, MI the government is (almost) ready to make peer-to-peer networking a required safety feature on all new cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that it'll "begin taking the next steps" towards implementing V2V, though, what those steps are is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. One major detail left to be ironed out is when exactly these new safety standards will go into effect. The agency is currently finalizing its analysis of the data gathered during the Ann Arbor trial, which it will then use to build a regulatory proposal.
For those that don't know, V2V systems allow cars to share information about their position, speed and heading with each other and alert a driver when there is potential for danger. That could be a car speeding through an intersection ahead or a truck in your blind spot when trying to change lanes. While there is potential for integration with automated collision avoidance technology in the future, initially the DOT will be focused on passive systems. If you're concerned about the government having yet another avenue through which to track you, breathe easy. The data passed between vehicles includes no personally identifiable information. In fact, it doesn't even identify the car -- it only contains basic safety data. In addition to that, the NHTSA envisions multiple layers of security and privacy protection to ensure vehicles are sending and receiving reliable data.

SPRINGFIELD – An officer working an undercover detail was struck by a 20-year-old Chicopee man driving a pick-up truck early Saturday morning and was knocked unconscious, police said.
Police said Officers James Kelly and Darrin Fitzpatrick were patrolling Paramount Street around 3:30 a.m. because of numerous break-ins in the area when they spotted a brown pick-up truck parked in front of a closed oil business. Two people could be seen in the truck, police said.
Police said the officers approached the truck and told the occupants to get out, but instead the driver raced the engine and drove at the officers, striking Kelly, who landed on the truck's hood and shattered the windshield. Police said the vehicle then took off toward Page Boulevard.
Police put out a bulletin to look out for the truck. It was eventually stopped at Main and Myrtle streets in the Indian Orchard section, where the operator, Joshua Cayo, of 13 Sitnik St., resisted arrest, police said.
Cayo was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (motor vehicle), attempted murder, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, resisting arrest and trespassing with a motor vehicle.
What Cayo was doing in his truck at the closed business was unclear, police said.
Kelly, who suffered head injuries, has been treated and released from Baystate Medical Center, police said. Cayo is expected to be arraigned on Monday in Springfield District Court.
Springfield officer struck; Chicopee driver charged

LOL you are correct! Here's the reason why I suggested what I did: Since you asked how to accomplish step 2, I am assuming that you do not know how to use wad manager or MMM. If that is the case, it would be easier for you to just update your HBC to 1.0.8, use this IOS58 installer, then reinstall HBC per the instructions in my guide in order to get it to run on IOS58. After downloading all the files, it would go like this: Run the hackmii installer and install HBC , run the IOS58 installer, rerun the hackmii installer and install HBC.
I still didn't get it
you mean I start by updating my hbc to a new version by following your guid Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 Installation/Reinstallation
it would be easier for you to just update your HBC to 1.0.8, use this IOS58 installer, then reinstall HBC per the instructions in my guide in order to get it to run on IOS58.
then install ios58 through my hbc
then reinstall the new hbc to be able to have ios58
and done !!
by the way it's one way that we use to install and reinstall the hbc right?
I mean the way to update it to 1.0.8 is the one to reinstall it , isn't ?
Mista ..I updated HBC and it's now 1.0.8
But I still coudn't install ios58 coz it says internet is not initialized
now I know that it is not coz simply ppl over here say it's harmful to access to internet when your wii only plays the copied games < I don't get these things but they say you will have to update your wii system so that your discs won't play again and you will stay in grief ever after
do you think so ?
what shall I do then ?
All respect
Last edited by Asma'a; 11-20-2011 at 09:31 AM.
Download THIS and put it on your SD card in the wad folder. The path will look like this: sd:/wad/IOS58-64-6176.wad Use the wad manager in MMM to install it. Then reinstall your HBC.
Multi Mod Manager...google it you'll find the download link
When ever i try to install it it just says "Initializing Network" Forever.
Launch the HBC and wait for the little network icon in the bottom right corner to turn solid instead of flashing, then launch the installer again.
Thanks i got it now. Had to turn on my wifi. Well connect it to the wii.

Manufacturer: Allegheny Mountain Trail Saddles
Model: Renegade Endurance
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I tried many different saddles on my horse - different sizes, different brands - and none of them really fit him. I finally decided that a custom made saddle was the only way to go and based on the reviews I read here, I went to Allegheny Mountain Trail Saddles. I tried the Steele "fit to be seen" forms and found the correct fit for my horse. I ordered the saddle and paid $1255 for it.
Likes: The best thing about this saddle for me is that it fits my horse - that's something I couldn't get anywhere else. And after all, a good fit for your horse is the most important factor when you purchase a saddle. If like me you have a hard to fit horse, this is the only way to go.
Dislikes: I ordered an all-black saddle and the leather is leaving black smudges on my hands and my saddle pad. Hopefully a few cleanings will take care of this problem, otherwise I have no dislikes.
Quality: It's handmade by Amish craftsmen, built on a Steele tree, using Wicket & Craig leather - you can't find better quality that that.
Summary: I wasted a lot of money buying cheap saddles and then selling them because they didn't fit. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Purchasing this saddle was definitely a good decision.

Bird lovers will get most out of 'Least'
"The Least of These," by Joan Harris, is such a book. It is appropriate for an older child or a bird-minded adult. Over several years, Harris scoured the country and found 13 rescue centers for birds. For each of these she has told a rescue story complete with skillfully drawn, lifelike pictures. Each story has, at its end, a picture of the head of an adult bird and a concise life history of the species.
An introduction by Jane Goodall of chimpanzee research fame says, "Each story is enchanting, but it is Joan Harris' illustrations that make this book so special."
The 13 species selected for inclusion are: turkey vulture, snowy plover, royal tern, sharp-shinned hawk, mute swan, bald eagle and brown pelican; also Anna's hummingbird, great horned owl, whooping and sandhill cranes, and least tern. An unusual choice was an alala, a member of an endangered Hawaiian endemic species.
Each baby bird was given a name, such as Squirt for the sandhill crane chick. The book tells interestingly of the facility in which the birds were nurtured, and covers the country rather thoroughly.
I enjoyed the story of the least tern. This little bird occurs in Corpus Christi and may be found nesting among the black skimmers. It was found, and hatched in an incubator, by a sympathetic volunteer in California.
Another interesting baby was the snowy plover, which, though unusual and hard to find, is also known locally. This chick's nest was disturbed by some children building a sandcastle on the beach. It and two siblings were taken to a foster plover father for care and nurture.
The use of surrogate parents of the same species is a technique often employed. A female horned owl brought up two owlets rescued from an ill-chosen nest site on an inactive rotating belt at a gravel plant. I have seen baby great horneds and know how cunning they can be. They are little white bundles of fuzz.
Another story, one about a royal tern, is based at Port Aransas at the Animal Rehabilitation Keep. The Ark was founded by Tony Amos to care for beached dolphins.
If you have no grandchildren, buy this book for your coffee table.
Some of the profit from its sale is to be donated to animal rescue centers in which the stories take place.
Phyllis Yochem, a Corpus Christi resident, has studied birds in Texas since 1960.

General Question
How much would your life change, if you changed your thinking?
Asked by CuriousLoner (1808
August 5th, 2012
I ask this question because I started reading a book titled "How successful people think" in which below it says "Change your thinking, change your life" Typically don't care for books of this type if you will. For whatever reason I thought what the heck, why not? What is it going to hurt?
After going through and answering the questions and journal parts of it, I was struck by how true it really is. Your thinking is a massive part of your life.
If you were to change your thinking how would change your life? Do you believe people can truly change the way they think? How long does it take to expand one's thinking?

Bottom line is the Texans are the worst team in the NFL. Rick was in charge of the team and while batting .1000 maybe unrealistic, Rick went 0 for this offseason and has only been about .300 since he's been GM with the salary cap/draft picks/FA signings. Rick is a major reason this team is where it is today.
But atleast BoB didn't go all in on the it's too traumatic thingy. If you truly believe that Rick Smith is the guy to lead this team to prominence that's your perrogative. But I will be calling out his mistakes. Nobody bats .1000 but to be a SB contender the GM needs to bat atleast .750 and I think that's too much to ask from Rick. In short I think Rick is in over his head. (Hope I'm wrong)
Watching his facial expressions during BoB's press confrence sickened me. He looked like a man that had no remorse for throwing his friend/mentor (Gary) under the bus. This man will never bring a SB to this city. He lacks character and is BoB's yes man. The good news for BoB is that Rick will make BoB alot of $$$$ while he continues to pull the wool over the paying customers eyes.
Unless BoB gives the new HC the power that he gave Gary and I dont see that happening.
What about all the mid season pick ups this team has found? How about the undrafted and low draft picks he's turned into NFL players. Yes he had a down year , but he's done more good than bad for this organization. He doesn't coach the players he just get em. How sure are you that the depth on this team is no good? By the coaching??? C'mon man , Rick can only do so much bro

We want thank everyone who pitched in to support the Sumatra relief program and especially our friends at ForesTrade, PPKGO and CV Trimaju for their hard work and dedication to rebuilding the many communities in Sumatra who were affected by the tsunami last December.
The Aceh Tsunami Relief Fund has made a complete shift to supporting the reconstruction of local community infrastructure in the coffee-growing Gayo Highland region. In late April, the local implementing organizations PPKGO and CV Trimaju created a summary plan for priority rebuilding projects in 20 villages that suffered physical losses during the devastating earthquake of December 2004 and subsequent aftershocks. An itemized budget was prepared containing specific locations, projects undertaken, and estimated costs per item.
The Cafť Campesino crew for this yearís Bike Ride Across Georgia (BRAG)óveterans Geoffrey Hennies and Alan Cook and newcomers Ann Karp and Joy Youngódid a stellar job serving Cafť Campesino coffee, iced mochas and snacks to this yearís BRAGers. Kudos to Ann and Joy for jumping right in to keep the coffee flowing and the bikers happy! The following is a brief vignette by Ann that we believe captures the BRAG experience beautifully.
ďCafť Campesinoís coffee service at the summer 2005 Bike Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) was an energizing success! Our little rental truck chugged along from Columbus to Jekyll Island following nearly 2,000 cyclists, and our crewóGeoffrey, Alan, Ann & Joyóserved up about 110 pounds (around 3,000 cups!) of java. The favorite drink for groggy pre-ride cyclists was our special ďBRAG Brew,Ē a blend of Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Sumatra coffees, preferably served far before sunrise. And in the hot, muggy afternoons, we served nearly 1,000 iced mochas to grateful cyclists pulling in at the end of their rides. (See sidebar for our iced mocha recipe.) All the while we enjoyed enlightening the thirsty cyclists about Fair Trade coffee and the impact their daily cup can have. We look forward to doing it again next year!Ē
June 24-July 1: Paddle Georgia Ė We hope that BRAG crew member Geoffrey rests up quickly now that BRAG 2005 is over because starting on Friday June 24th, heíll be at it again, serving Cafť Campesino coffee, iced mochas and snacks to paddlers in the first annual Paddle Georgia. Paddling enthusiasts from all over will come together for the first annual Paddle Georgia, a week-long, 110-mile canoe/kayak adventure on the Chattahoochee River from Buford Dam to Franklin. Daily paddle trips will average 15 miles and participants will be camping nightly, enjoying meals, games, entertainment, educational programs and, of course, Cafť Campesino Fair Trade coffee. Cafť Campesino is thrilled to be part of Paddle Georgia 2005, which will raise funds for the Georgia River Network and the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.

Thousands of people like you believe in Fair Trade as a model of economic and environmental justice. Many of us will be gathering in Chicago from September 30 to October 2, 2005, to strengthen Fair Trade mission-driven organizations and attract customers and activists to the movement. Over the course of a weekend, Fair Trade organizations, consumers, activists and businesses will:
* Build energy and excitement about Fair Trade among those committed to its principles. * Bring the principles and practices of Fair Trade businesses, programs and products to national attention. * Develop relationships and deepen the understanding among committed Fair Trade leaders. * Reach out to new consumers and constituents, activists, grassroots organizations and allies. * Create education and action tools for new and committed Fair Traders to become a definable movement beyond the conference.
If you are interested in joining us, please visit http://www.fairtradefederation.org/2005ftconference/ where you can learn more about the conference and register to attend. Thanks for your interest!
The National Fair Trade Conference is being led by sponsorship of: A Greater Gift/SERRV, Catholic Relief Services, Cooperative Coffees, Equal Exchange, Lutheran World Relief, Oxfam America and Ten Thousand Villages.
Several months ago, we introduced you to Three Frontiers Trading Company, a new venture that emerged out of a unique friendship between Cafť Campesino owners Lee Harris, Bill Harris, Tripp Pomeroy and Tripp's wife, Marysol, a native of Paraguay, and their shared commitment to Fair Trade.
Three Frontiersí mission is twofold: 1) to expand the reach of Fair Trade in the United States and 2) to establish new Fair Trade relationships with producers who have yet to join the world market on equal terms. Three Frontiers is currently working on its first objective, offering truly beautiful, quality handrafted works by fair trade producer partners throughout the developing world, including: home decorations, childrens toys and games, instruments, apparel, pottery and moreóall of which are available for purchase at www.threefrontiers.com.
The second objective, to establish new Fair Trade relationships with marginalized producers, is directly connected to the inspiration for the name Three Frontiersóa region known as Las Tres Fronteras, which is a ďno-manís landĒ that lies where the borders of Paraguay, Argentina and Brasil intersect. There, every day, men, women and children toil to scrape out a living hauling and trading whatever products they can get their hands on, engulfed in the fumes from excessive traffic and inevitably generating less than a subsistence income. It is Three Frontiersí intention to establish new Fair Trade relationships with artisan producers in the Tres Fronteras region. We'll keep you posted as the work progresses.

Quick Clicks> What's in a Name, Cardboard Construction, and Building Fashion
Water Names. Is it a creek, a stream, or a cañada? Looking for patterns behind different names for American waterways, graphic designer Derek Watkins created an infographic that plots more terms for water than we've heard of revealing the cultural geography of language. More at Co.Design.
Pop-Up Religion. In February, an earthquake destroyed Christchurch, New Zealand and now Shigero Ban has been invited to design a temporary church for the city. His design takes cues from his popular Paper Dome Church that once stood in Kobe, Japan, incorporating recyclable materials such as "cardboard tube buttresses" and shipping crates in the foundation. Gizmodo has details.
Architecture + fashion. Fashion Week in New York is quickly approaching, and we're excited about the second annual Building Fashion event, taking place this year in our headquarter neighborhood of TriBeCA. Five architecture teams are collaborating with fashion designers to create original temporary installations for couture design.
Foamly Footed
More cave-itecture under the High Line. Architecture firm Leong Leong and fashion designer Siki Im have teamed up for the fifth and final installation in the Building Fashion series of pop-up collaborations beneath Chelsea's High Line Park. Picking up where Snarkitecture and Richard Chai left off, Leong Leong has turned the former Sales Tin for Neil Denari's HL23 condos into another amorphous cave-like interior—only now you'll have to take off your shoes before entering. "We wanted to radically transform the interior," explained principal Chris Leong. "We wanted to breakdown the traditional pop-up experience." To do this, the firm oriented the store around a parabolic, foam-covered ramp and hung clothes seemingly at random from the walls and ceiling, which were sculpted with the same soy-based spray-foam. Read More
Under the High Line, Pop-Up Cave-itecture
Lurking under the High Line has been a bit more fun since Building Fashion began its series of architecture-and-fashion installations in September, erecting a new collaboration every two weeks as a means of reusing the former onsite Sales Tin of Neil Denari's HL23 condos. On Thursday, Brooklyn firm Snarkitecture and fashion designer Richard Chai will unveil the fourth project in the series, a cave carved by hand from architectural foam. Designed to give shoppers the feel of a glacial cavern, the pop-up shop will feature men's and women's fashions displayed on shelves, niches, and hang bars embedded in the foam. Read More
Konyk Cotton Field Blooms Under the High Line
The high-end cotton label Supima is planting its flag—or rather, a field of cotton plants imported from Texas—under the High Line this summer, in a public outdoor event space designed by Brooklyn's Konyk Architecture. Dotted with movable cotton-bale seating and set atop a plywood "walkable mural," the space will host a variety of events beginning the week of July 15 and continues through New York Fashion Week in September, just in time for those cotton bolls to bloom beneath Neil Denari's soon-to-liftoff HL23.

Carrying on the theme of a similar year end thread, what were your BEST finds of 2011? Great bikes you just stumbled across? Maybe a desirable bike you garnered by beating everyone to the punch. Or, maybe one you've wanted for a long long time and finally found. Although pickens have been slim for me for a little while, I had some small victories earlier this year.... I got most of a 1983 model #850, Treks FIRST mountain bike for $40. Member Scrumblero helped me out with some of the smaller missing pieces to put together a NICE bike, thanks man! I scored all of these on January 1st for a pittance. I raced to pick this 1939 Firestone Twin-Flex from Craigslist later in January for about $100. I got a few other nice ones this year but because of their higher prices I don't really consider them great scores. Here's to looking very optimistically at 2012.
My only 2 finds! :mrgreen: 1953 Columbia 3 Star Superb :mrgreen: And the starting of the Young American 8)
literaly just got out of the truck after picking up a 1998 electra bomber. 4 speed shimano. aluminum bars, seatpost, rims, hubs. . .everything! 45 bucks :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: cant wipe that smile off my face
I found too many goodies to count. Few of the best ones were: January: Mosh Method 24" Got on trade for basically nothing March: Got both of these on a trade with a member here. JC Higgins Firestone Flame 20" Muscle bike May Twisted Lowrider Traded the Mosh for this and another bike. Dyno NFX for $10 A nice nanner seat for $2 June: Schwinn Got for scrap price Mongoose Got for scrap price Yamaha QT50 Under $100 August: Skate bike $10 October: Hawthorne for $5!!! Girl's Murry FREEBIE! November was really good 1968 Schwinn Deluxe Hollywood $12 at the scrapyard Before After 1956 Schwinn American Traded the Skate bike for it. 16" part bike with cool grips $4 Fuji Gran Tourer $5 All 5 of these for a total of $20 December My 6th Schwinn a '66 Heavy Duty Traded the Fuji Schwinn cruiser with heavy duty rims $5 And 1,000 toggle switches for $5 Looking forward to a 2012 full of more bikes and doing a few restorations that have been on hold for too long.
What's the voltage and current rating of those toggle switches? I could use several to help trick out my step van...
I have no idea, The only markings I found on them is on the back that reads: 6A125VAC 3A250VAC No clue what this means.
My first finds were last year but the same place I got those two had another I found this year my Sears Spaceliner Klunker,The other finds from somewhere else Tyler & Rollfast. The ones that found me. I hope next year I can find ones I have been waiting for a long time for if I get rid of the ones above later, a Murray BMX, I think it was a Huffy that was white with white wheel discs unless it was made by another company that I don't remember or know of, Murray Muscle bike & something I don't know of yet.
mine was early in the year. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=37961 The cooks bros cleaned up nice and I rode it over pearl pass this summer. I've been offered a very pretty penny for it but I'm keeping it for at least one more year. The phantom is in pieces right now and the firestone still looks very much the same minus new tires and sprocket.
I recall your late-night score post from earlier this year. YES, that's definitely one of the best ones I saw here this year!
My best find was the schwinn badged COLSON steer from the rear tandem. $300 and a 6 hour, van trip, with Crazy Mae , we ( I ) also got a 100 + year old Eastlake door as a Xmas gift for CM, she picked it out. Was a good day trip.
I long for the day I can add a Cycle-Truck to my Schwinn collection. Maybe I'll build a replica someday.
I've had many MANY bikes given to me this year, so it would be unfair to mention all the freebies, so instead I'll just post the best one I dropped money. I think a few of you might have dropped $200 on this King Sting.

Rashmi, KV and Shah, Nihar B and Ramchandran, Kannan and Kumar, Vijay P (2010) Interference Alignment as a Tool in Network Coding as Applied to Distributed Storage. TR-PME-2010-03.
Interference_Alignment.pdf - Submitted Version Download (214Kb) |
In this paper, we outline an approach to the task of designing network codes in a non-multicast setting. Our approach makes use of the concept of interference alignment. As an example, we consider the distributed storage problem where the data is stored across the network in n nodes and where a data collector can recover the data by connecting to any k of the n nodes and where furthermore, upon failure of a node, a new node can replicate the data stored in the failed node while minimizing the repair bandwidth.

Kroll, N. and Gauger, N. and Wild, J. and Brezillon, J. and Ronzheimer, A. (2002) Numerical Shape Optimization for Aircraft Design. Workshop on Optimization in Partial Differential Equations and Applications, Heidelberg (de), 07.-09.10.2002.
Full text not available from this repository.
Aerospace industry is increasingly relying on advanced numerical flow simulation tools in the early aircraft design phase. Today's flow solvers based on the solution of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are able to predict aerodynamic behaviour of aircraft components under different flow conditions quite well. Due to the high computational expense required for flow simulations around realistic 3D configurations, in industry computational fluid dynamics tools are rather used for analysis and assessment of given geometries than for shape design and optimization. However, within the next few years numerical shape optimization will play a strategic role for future aircraft design. It offers the possibility of designing or improving aircraft components with respect to a pre-specified figure of merit subject to geometrical and physical constraints. Consequently, recently large research effort is devoted to develop efficient optimization strategies for industrial aerodynamic aircraft design. There are many ingredients required to establish an efficient and flexible numerical optimization capability. These include suitable techniques for geometry parametrization, meshing and mesh movement methods, efficient and accurate flow solvers as well as a flexible tool-set of containing both deterministic and stochastic based optimizers. Over the last years, numerical shape optimization is one of the major issues of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology at DLR. The presentation will focus on both algorithmic developments as well as realistic applications. One key activity is the derivation and implementation of a continuous adjoint approach for the DLR flow simulation software MEGAFLOW based on the solution of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. Its potential for efficient aerodynamic shape design in compressible flow will be demonstrated. Furthermore, a flexible approach for post parametrization of CAD geometries is outlined. Activities carried out concerning the validation of the optimization process are also reported. Several applications including cruise and high-lift configurations will be shown. Finally, future developments necessary to establish numerical optimization as a standard design tool within the industrial design process are identified.
