WASHINGTON – One hopes to take a trip with his son; another will trim his overgrown garden; a third will clean her garage.
In short, Southern California members of Congress are ready to bolt from this hot, muggy city and return to the balmy air of their districts and homes during the annual five-week break for Congress.
But what's a little time off – the official term is "district work period" – for a political leader beyond the usual constituent connections?
The Register asked 26 members of the House of Representatives in Southern California what each will be focusing on during the annual August recess. Among the responses:
Ken Calvert, R-Corona
Green thumb: "To relax, I work in my garden and tend to my various fruit trees and vegetables. It will also be good to spend time with my cat, Cal. I am sure I will do some barbecuing, catch a preseason Chargers football game or two, and continue to root for the Dodgers."
History buff: "I'm always reading, usually something nonfiction, often a book on some aspect of American history. I don't watch much TV, mostly news programs and the History Channel."
Nothing like a good taco: "There is nothing like California Mexican food. Of course, I always enjoy Miguel's, Eduardo's and other local establishments. You can never go wrong with a double-double from In-N-Out Burger."
Water-conscious: "My yard and garden are a constant work in progress, but I promise not to over water – I don't want to get fined by the water police!"
John Campbell, R-Irvine
Favorite hobby: Car collecting
Classy vacation: Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance
Good read: "The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food" by Dan Barber
Favorite meal at home: Certified Angus beefsteaks grilled on the barbecue.
Home-improvement project: "I have a huge list. I'll get to them in January after I leave Congress."
Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley

Insufficient brake force blamed in Canada crash
The transportation watchdog's advisory comes a week after Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of the railway's U.S.-based parent company, Rail World Inc., blamed the train's engineer for the accident. Burkhardt questioned whether he had properly set enough hand brakes and said the engineer had been suspended without pay.
The board said that while the investigation is expected to take quite some time, it won't wait to send safety warnings.
Transport Minister Lisa Raitt's office said Friday that the department has been directed to review the board's recommendations on an expedited basis.
Canada's two largest railways announced earlier this week that they are strengthening their own safety procedures in the wake of the Lac-Megantic disaster. Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway said the tragedy prompted them to review their policies, including brake-setting procedures.
Montreal, Maine & Atlantic railway has also said it is reviewing its safety procedures.
Meanwhile, emergency officials continue to comb through the wreckage, searching for bodies amid intense heat and hazardous conditions. Authorities have recovered the remains of 42 bodies, five bodies remain missing. Initially officials estimated 50 people died in the disaster but revised that figure to 47 on Friday.

Florida Marlins: Prospect Scott Cousins pitches PX90
Florida Marlins prospect Scott Cousins is NOT a paid spokesman, though the folks at PX90 might want to consider putting him on the payroll. In fact, they could probably do an entire infomercial with the Marlins.
Cousins is among the organizational players and coaches who have completed or are currently in the middle of the 12-week program. Double-A Jacksonville manager Brandon Hyde and roving catching instructor Tim Cossins are doing it. The PX90 TV spots are hard to miss. About the only products that are plugged more in the wee hours are the Sham Wow and that Proactive stuff for acne-ridden teens.
Like everyone else, Cousins saw the PX90 infomercial and thought it looked pretty cool. A teammate last season already had the program and gave it to Cousins to try. He's already felt the benefits this spring.
"I wanted to develop the smaller muscles in my core, my hip flexor muscles, my groin muscles and my core muscles," Cousins said. "Those have been weak in the past. I've always gotten the larger muscles developed and come to spring training a little bulky. I wanted to get away from that this year and become a little more flexible."
The program is based on "Muscle Confusion," which is supposed to keep your body from hitting plateaus. It incorporates weight training, yoga, plyometrics (explosive movements) and cardio. So how does all that help a baseball player beyond making him looking better in uniform?
Cousins said one among the biggest differences is his arm. It feels stronger, looser, and after Sunday's outfielder throwing program it's not sore. In past springs, Cousins said he's had to work "work out the kinks" early on.
"Basically, everything we want to get better at as baseball players, it pretty much had in there," Cousins said. "There are a few overhead exercises and shoulder exercises you want to go lighter on. If I was a pitcher I would avoid them. If you use a band or small weight, it's going to develop your rotator cuff muscle and labrum muscles, all the small muscles you need to develop in your deltoids to have a strong throwing arm.
"It was nice for me to actually have a structured program to follow. I've never paid for a trainer in the past. I think my timing of it might have been a little bit off. I would have liked to start it a little later in the offseason so that when I finished it I'd peak out and go right into baseball specific stuff. I finished this program and had a little bit of downtime [before spring training]."
Since his goal wasn't to lose weight, Cousins didn't follow a strict diet. No denying he's stronger, evidenced by his ability to do 20 pull-ups at at the start of the program and 30 after the 12 weeks. The plyometrics work was gruelling and Cousins couldn't get through some of the yoga because it was "beyond my capability. I physically can't do it. I'm not there yet."
And if one of the results is looking better in a uniform, hey, Cousins earned it. Admittedly, he did take before, during and after photos as the program suggested.
"I downloaded the calendar and it said take photos," Cousins said. " I said, 'I'll take photos.' I did see results. It makes me happy I actually saw results and not just felt them."

India, Bangladesh and Pakistan takes 71 per cent of ship breaking market
Published on Jan 10, 2014 2:10 AM
PARIS (AFP) - The world market for ship demolition remains strong, with India, Bangladesh and Pakistan together accounting for more than two-thirds of business, a French monitoring group said on Thursday.
In 2013, 1,119 ships went to the world's breaker's yards, a decline of 16 per cent over 2012 which was an "exceptional year," the environmental watchdog Robin des Bois (Robin Hood) said.
The figures "confirm that the ship demolition sector is in good health," Robin des Bois said. It is the second highest tally since 2006, when the group began compiling annual reports in an effort to boost transparency in a sector with a contested environmental record.
In terms of numbers, the three South Asian countries accounted for 50 per cent of ships, but in terms of tonnage, they accounted for 71 per cent, Robin des Bois said.

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale.
Nanotechnology is concerned with objects between 1 and 100nm in size.( Nano meter)
1 Nanometer – 1 x 10-9m.
Applications of nano technology in civil engineering are numerous. Some of the applications are elaborated below.
Application in concrete:
Addition of nanoscale materials into cement could improve its performance. Use of nano-SiO2 could significantly increase the compressive for concrete, containing large volume fly ash, at early age and improve pore size distribution by filling the pores between large fly ash and cement particles at nanoscale. The dispersion/slurry of amorphous nanosilica is used to improve segregation resistance for self-compacting concrete. It has also been reported that adding small amount of carbonnanotube (1%) by weight could increase both compressive and flexural strength.
Cracking is a major concern for many structures. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is working on healing polymers, which include a microencapsulated healing agent and a catalytic chemical trigger. When the microcapsules are broken by a crack, the healing agent is released into the crack and contact with the catalyst. The polymerization happens and bond the crack faces. The selfhealing polymer could be especially applicable to fix the microcracking in bridge piers and columns. But it requires costly epoxy injection.
Application in Steel
Steel is a major construction material. Its properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and weld ability, are very important for the design and construction. It is possible to develop new, low carbon, highperformance steel (HPS). The new steel was developed with higher corrosion-resistance and weld ability by incorporating copper nanoparticles from at the steel grain boundaries.
The coatings incorporating certain nanoparticles or nanolayers have been developed for certain purpose. It is one of the major applications of nanotechnology in construction. For example, TiO2 is used to coat glazing because of its sterilizing and anti fouling properties. The TiO2 will break down and disintegrate organic dirt through powerful catalytic reaction. Furthermore, it is hydrophilic, which allow the water to spread evenly over the surface and wash away dirt previously broken down. Other special coatings also have been developed, such as anti-fraffiti, thermal control, energy sawing, antireflection coating.
Sensors have been developed and used in construction to monitor and/or control the environment condition and the materials/structure performance. One advantage of these sensors is their dimension (10 -9m to 10-5m). These sensors could be embedded into the structure during the construction process. Smart aggregate, a low cost piezoceramic-based multi-functional device, has been applied to monitor early age concrete properties such as moisture, temperature, relative humidity and early age strength development. The sensors can also be used to monitor concrete corrosion and cracking. The smart aggregate can also be used for structure health monitoring. The disclosed system can monitor internal stresses, cracks and other physical forces in the structures during the structures' life. It is capable of providing an early indication of the health of the structure before a failure of the structure can occur.
Please provide posters on application of nanotechnology in concrete.
What is the use of anti-reflection coating?
Is there any use of nanotech for highway constructions?
please give the names of nano concrete constructions.
givve the name.
what is role of nano technology in civil engineers
Nanosensors.. i think that can be used during CLS mix design tests, right ?

Remodeled in 2010, you'll find all the comforts of home including high-speed wireless Internet, a 50' plasma TV, HD cable, Blue Ray DVD player, Wii Video Console, Bose Wave Radio with MP3/iPod connection, a dozen board games, and an open floor plan with new hardwood floors throughout.
Though the house is brimming with entertainment options, it's also an amazing place to just relax and do nothing but watch the river go by. With resident bald eagles soaring overhead, the mountain river rushing by, the amazing fresh air purified by the surrounding forest, the hot tub to warm your bones, the spring fed water right out of the tap - you won't find a better place to rejuvenate your body and mind.
Index and the surrounding area is a sporting paradise with excellent access to hiking, biking, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, skiing (cross country and downhill), ATV riding, horseback riding and more. In the winter months, nearby Stevens Pass is a big draw as one of the top skiing destinations in the Pacific Northwest. In the summer, the wild Skykomish River is the star of the show offering adrenaline filled whitewater challenges, or a lazy float on a hot summer day. The Skykomish is also widely know for it's excellent fishing with the top draw being the world renowned Steelhead. Known as the fish of a thousand casts, they can be extremely challenging to hook and even more so to land - but when you do, you'll have accomplished a major fishing milestone of which you can be very proud.
Things to see in town:
The town of Index is very small and you can walk the entire town (every street!) in under an hour. Along the way you'll find lots of things to see. In the center of town as you cross the bridge, you'll find the index General Store which has been serving Index residents for longer than anyone can remember. Inside the store, you'll find a very old-school post office.
Across from the store is the Outdoor Adventure Center which is a rafting and kayaking outfitter where you can rent equipment, take lessons, and join a whitewater trip. Their headquarters, the River House, doubles as a coffee lounge offering hand crafted coffee drinks, fresh baked goods, Internet access and good information on what's happening in town.
Also in the center of town is Doolittle park, named after one of the pioneers of the area. The park offers a covered picnic area as well as a tennis court, basketball court and public restrooms. On display is a giant saw blade that was used to cut granite at the local quarry. The granite steps of the Washington state capitol building were cut right here in Index.
To learn more about how Index came to be, be sure to visit PIckett's Museum where you can see amazing photographs and artifacts of an era gone by. You'll be shocked to learn the Index once had 2000 residents when it boomed, and you can see photographs of the giant trees that were harvested from the area.
As of 2012, the historic Bush House has finally been purchased and is undergoing restoration that will hopefully match it's former glory offering small hotel rooms with shared bathrooms and a much anticipated re-opening of the restaurant. Be sure to stop in for a meal or at least dessert and coffee. Expected to open in 2014.
Across from the Bush House is the Index Elementary school where local students of 6 grades share 2 classrooms. With one of the best student-teacher-ratio's in the state, the school is an excellent place for kids.
In 2008 the huge ridge across the river from town was saved from logging by a local effort known as 'Friends of Heybrook Ridge.' The organization raised enough money to purchase the land from a private company and have plans to make the ridge an eco-tourist and educational destination. Plans include a parking lot and various hiking trails with educational signage. This will be an excellent addition to the town of Index and allow people of all ages to easily access a 100-year-old 2nd growth rain forest and learn about the flora and fauna. To see how you can get involved you can visit their website at http://www.heybrookridge.org
When you stay with us, you will have no limit to the number of amazing hikes in the area. For starters, you can view this website. Be sure to zoom in around Index and you'll see all the green circles pop up indicating local hikes: http://www.trails.com/activity.aspx?area=11836
Day Trip(s)
Depending on the weather, a very popular day trip for visitors is to cross Stevens pass into the eastern side of the state where you'll find yourself in the German styled town of Leavenworth. The streets are lined with tourist-attracting shops and there are several good restaurants to try. One of our favorites is Gustav's at the west end of town offering fantastic bratwurst and cold beer. Try the outdoor deck upstairs when the weather is nice - a great way to spend a couple of hours.
Heading the other direction, Seattle is only an hour away. Check out Pike Place outdoor market where you can grab coffee at the very first Starbucks, watch the fish mongers throw fish, and shop for fresh produce and hand made crafts. It's open every day of the year rain or shine! Or take a ride up the space needle where you can see the whole city, or journey off on a ferry ride to picturesque Bainbridge Island for lunch. There is certainly plenty to do in the Emerald City if you get the itch for city life during your stay. And at only an hour away, getting there and back is half the fun.

Greetings, We are Molly, Ken and Max.
We love to travel including backpacking around the world in 2007, and touring America in 2010 for 6 months for our honeymoon after getting married in Index! Now we have our new son Max and are slowing down for a year or two.
Right now we have located ourselves on the central coast of California and have decided to rent our home to people like YOU while we're gone.
It seems like we just finished remodeling and haven't even had a chance to enjoy it much ourselves yet, so we hope you'll consider staying here, taking care of it for us, and enjoying this amazing area. If you want to do nothing - you've found the right place. If you want to do everything - you've found the right place. Please review our VRBO listing, or look for our website online for additional information. Regardless of where you stay, we hope you enjoy yourself!
Ken Mahar purchased this house in 2010
Ken grew up in Index (and still has family here), and even though we've traveled around the world there are few places as beautiful. The amazing mountains, sheer cliffs, and powerful river are enough to mesmerize even the most jaded. Combine that with the variety of kiking, biking, kyaking, rafting, fishing, skiing to be had - you couldn't find a better place to relax, or seek adventure. The town of Index has only 150 people so it's pin drop quiet at night. All you will hear is the gentle rushing of the river (and an occasional train, though we don't even hear it anymore). This property is at the far end of town, built on 5 lots so there's a huge lawn to spread out on, and even the houses 'next door' are rarely occupied. You'll have all the peace and quiet you need.
As Ken grew up he always marveled at the view from this home, and when it came up for sale we decided to grab it. Since we can't live here full time, but we still want to use it when we visit several times a year - making it a vacation rental was the perfect choice.
The view from our home is AMAZING. Every room in the house has a view of jagged mountains or sheer granite cliffs, and the front porch is especially magical. It's a great place for morning coffee watching the bald eagles, or a great place for cocktails on a summer night. Since we added a hot tub to the back porch, it may be a tie as to which will get more use.
The other big advantage of this property is that is sits on 5 city lots - probably the biggest property in Index (though that's not saying a lot). And since our nearest neighbors only use their home for an occasional weekend in the summer we have a ton of privacy.
It's one of those rare vacation rentals that you might find that is perfect and worthy stating in. The location is quite and everybody is friendly. The house is pretty much has everything you might need from cookware to just chilling. The owners are helpful folks. I would differently stay there the next time I'm around Seattle.
Index, Washington is a charming town! We immediately fell in love with the small-town vibe, wild Skykomish River, awesome fall colors and inspired mountain views. A Riverside Retreat proved an ideal place to both explore - and relax - amid the area's beauty and charm.
Opportunities for outdoor adventures abound and we hiked to nearby Heybrook Lookout. A storm blew in on our second day, cutting our planned rockhounding activities short. Instead, we opted for a drive along the sleepy Index-Galena Road. With wind blowing and heavy rain falling - it proved quite exciting! Leaf after leaf danced from the maple trees, covering the streets in a blanket of autumn color. To our surprise, we easily became used to - and welcomed - the frequently passing trains (we miss them now that we are back home!).
Our time spent at the house was enjoyed. The owners of A Riverside Retreat have gone to great length to ensure your stay will be pleasant. We appreciated the book of information, the wealth of amenities (wifi, cable TV, DVDs, games (nice to see Settlers of Catan among the mix) and books/magazines), thoughtful and tasteful decoration and cleanliness of the house.
Due to weather we didn't make use of the front porch, but the Adirondack chairs would give good place to relax and take in the sound of the river and mountain views. We did enjoy the hot tub (thank you for the directions on removal of the cover) and slept well in the comfortable bed. The kitchen is well equipped and we lacked nothing for preparing meals at home (note: the wine cork is broken, but still usable). During breaks in the rain, I opted to make use of the bikes - but, the one I chose had embarrassingly squeaky breaks so I cut my ride short.
Though there are homes nearby and occasional pedestrian/auto traffic in front of the home - we did not feel a lack of privacy and everyone we encountered was friendly. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we hope we have opportunity to return in the future.
What a wonderful place to visit! Index is a great small town with loads of personality. We were able to explore state parks, Mt Rainier, the cascade loop and some of the islands. The best was swimming in the river...very refreshing and fantastic after a day of hiking! It did take a couple of days getting use to the train whistle as it was warm and we had the windows open at night. Your home was an awesome homebase for all our travels. Thanks for some great memories!
This Index house is one of a kind. It offers more than any hotel can offer. Magical sleeping experience on the cloud-like bed, and beautiful views of the forest with the snow covered mountain peaks.
We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy house, and regreted that we could not stay longer. For people like us, who likes outdoor activities , this house is ideal: it is surrounded by sights of waterfalls and hiking trails, it has a jaccuzi and mountain river, on top of everything there are plenty of bicycles to explore sight seeings. It felt like luxury camping in the middle of forest. Thank you dear owners:)))
We used this rental for a movie shoot, so it was not a typical rental, but the location was just fantastic. You are in between gorgeous river views and a sheer cliff, that seems like something out of a storybook. Cast members noted that they had not seen a location like this outside of Norway, yet this was actually a very easy, brief drive about an hour outside Seattle. I would love to visit again as an actual guest, based on the scenic views. The house itself was very well-kept and homey. It is someone's home, so that seemed to make sense. Definite 5 star rating. Thanks to these guys for being so open to an art project in their home!
This is a charming cabin, spacious and cozy with modern décor and super super comfy beds and living room/dining room kitchen area. Loved staying here.
A Riverside Retreat is located in the scenic town of Index, WA, only one hour from downtown Seattle, and 25 minutes from Stevens Pass. Index is the smallest town in western Washington with only 150 residents, but it offers some of the biggest views and the nicest people in the state.
Our riverfront 2-bedroom home sleeps up to 6 in absolute luxury with new World-Class Simmons Beautyrest Pillow Top mattresses with 600 thread-count linens. The home also includes a hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor gas grill with rotisserie, complimentary gourmet coffee (regular and decaf), complimentary popcorn for movie time, and a full-size washer and dryer. There is a phone on site with unlimited calling to the US and Canada. We also have free wireless broadband Internet.
Though we offer a huge array of entertainment options (see below), most people are mesmerized by the natural beauty of the area, the sight and sound of the river, the smell of the air, and the peace and quiet they have been craving. See our 5-star reviews and contact us today!

An airborne geophysical survey mapping mineral resources in the Midwest has confirmed that a 470-million-year-old impact crater nearly five times the size of Barringer (Meteor) Crater in Arizona lies buried several hundred meters beneath the town of Decorah, Iowa.
What triggers the mountain rain and snow that are vital to California's water and energy needs? The answer, according to new research, is blowing in the wind: dust and bacteria from as far away as Africa's Sahara Desert.
Wedged between the hard-bitten boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, N.Y., lies a six-kilometer-long slip of sickly green water called Newtown Creek. Dubbed the most polluted waterway in America, this tidal tributary of the East River has no natural headwater: The water that feeds the mostly stagnant creek is a combination of industrial wastewater, stormwater runoff and, after a hard rain, raw sewage.
Predicting the weather has been central to human civilization since the Babylonians started studying cloud patterns in 650 B.C. The key to weather predictions is making correct assumptions. Today, instruments like Doppler radar that measure rainfall work under the assumption that raindrops fall at their terminal velocity. A new study, however, shows that some raindrops fall faster than they should, indicating rainfall instruments — and by extension, weather forecasts — may need some tweaking.
Burying carbon dioxide in underground geologic formations is an attractive option for dealing with increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But before employing such schemes, researchers need to be sure that the greenhouse gas will actually stay put. Scientists have done everything from computer modeling to pumping vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the subsurface to find out if — and how — the gas might be trapped, but gauging how sealed the formations are over geologic time scales is difficult.
Most residents of developed countries don't think about their water running out or worry about their water leading to the death of their children. In Pakistan, those are distinct possibilities.

Viewers can direct the "bugs," as Klima calls them, with a joystick linked to an enormous clear weather balloon floating overhead. On the balloon appears an image of the earth, complete with satellites. Four red circles in this three-dimensional map correspond to the home countries of four charging stations sitting on the paper world below. To re-energize the robots when they run low, visitors must drag one of the whirling satellites into a circle, which then illuminates a charging station.
These tiny machines do more than scramble our vision of the world. Each circle reflects real-time currency fluctuations for the charging stations' home countries. "The more volatile the currency, the larger the red disk," explains Klima. "That makes it more likely that the charging station is on and the bug goes there more and it'll be darker from the marker. You'll notice Mexico is really dark."
The squares of paper can be bought one by one, becoming progressively more expensive as more are sold, from $1 to $10,000. The many layersof paper and meaningpoint to a vision of a world governed by fabricated systems, like the currency or art markets, which often create scarcity to drive up value. "Half the time," says Klima of his techniques, "it's just practicality. I wanted the more volatile countries to be represented as larger simply because in the currency field that's what one pays attention to."
A former programmer for financial consultants like Dun & Bradstreet, Klima will also be contributing a piece called ecosystm to BitStreams, the Whitney Museum of Art's exhibition opening March 22. Ecosystm transforms streaming market data into projections of flocks in flight; visitors navigate the work with joysticks. "The combination of the graphic interface, the beauty of it, the imagery, with the real-time information and confluence of economic and ecosystems information is terrific," says curator Lawrence Rinder. "It's compelling, and disturbing."
Klima says his work attempts to "make real something considered virtual, like a Star Trek holodeck." By using the look and feel of video games, the pieces encourage users to consider other kinds of games played in life. A second installation at Postmasters, Fish, examines the mini-world of a fishbowl. Visitors play a video game in which the outcome affects the fate of a real goldfish. A freestanding arcade cabinet is flanked by an elaborate configuration of fish tanks thatwith long plastic tubes and tiers of bowlslooks as if it could be from the set of a 1950s science fiction movie. In the game, rendered with the 3-D animation software World App and Klima's own self-taught programming skills, the player is a fish swimming through dangerous waters. Lose, and a goldfish is shot from a bowl into a tank with menacing oscar fish, which will eat it later at night. Win, and the goldfish heads toward less carnivorous company.
Players might pity the victim, but the goldfish must lose out sometimes, or the oscars will die of starvation. "It's the moral dilemma any pet owner faces when they feed animals to their pets," says Klima. More than that, it may be the reigning moral dilemma in a zero-sum system, where saving one creature means killing another and where one person's calm blue water is another's path to power.
"Go Fish" runs through March 24 at Postmasters Gallery, 459 West 19th Street, 212-727-3323

In 2010, unions and other progressive groups formed a coalition to pressure the Senate to reform filibuster rules—unsuccessfully, as we know. Now, with more Democratic leaders understanding the necessity of reining in abuse of the filibuster as a tool for obstruction, the band is getting back together; the Fix the Senate coalition includes unions—the Communications Workers of America and the United Auto Workers—along with the Sierra Club and good-government group Common Cause.
Republicans derailed energy and climate legislation, halted the DREAM Act, which passed the House while receiving 55 votes in the Senate, and blocked any debate on the Employee Free Choice Act, which passed the House with an overwhelming majority and garnered 59 supporters in the Senate. Most recently, in July, the DISCLOSE Act—which would have increased transparency over independent groups' campaign spending—failed to overcome a Republican filibuster and died, despite receiving support from 51 Senators and past support from many current Republican opponents. Also in July, Senate Republicans blocked the Bring Jobs Home Act, which would have encouraged in-sourcing by providing tax incentives to companies that bring jobs back to the United States from overseas.In other words, if you want the government to work at all, Republicans used the filibuster to block something you valued. The only people the current system is working for are those who want government to be broken.

Civil engineers have given Kansas' infrastructure an overall C-minus grade.The regional chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers released their report card Wednesday.It's an evaluation of the state's aviation, bridges, roads, dams, drinking water, energy, levees, railroads and schools.The engineers found the most faults with the state's bridges and dams, rating them a D-minus. They say Kansas has nearly 3,000 structurally deficient bridges.They awarded the highest grades for the state's roads and schools; both got a C-plus.
Hawker Beechcraft says its total number of Kansas employees has fallen below the level required to receive the full state and local government incentives.
The aircraft manufacturer had 3,372 employees as of December 31st. The company was granted $45 million in incentives back in 2010 in exchange for committing to keep 4,000 people employed in Kansas for 10 years.
Wichita aircraft company Spirit AeroSystems Monday announced that President and CEO Jeffrey Turner will retire in early 2013.In a press release, Turner said he announced his plan to retire to "ensure adequate time to find a suitable replacement, and allow for an effective handover of duties." He will continue to serve as President and CEO until his successor takes office.
The Kansas Governor's Council of Economic Advisors met in Wichita Tuesday to discuss ways of increasing revenue and the global competitiveness of the aviation industry.
Governor Sam Brownback, state and local officials and several leaders in the aircraft industry discussed ideas for more than two and a half hours at Spirit Aerosystems.
John Tomblin, Executive Director of the National Institute for Aviation Research (NAIR) was one of the speakers who touted the number of quality engineers that are trained in Wichita.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers approved a five-year contract deal with Bombardier Learjet in Wichita over the weekend.
Machinists Union spokesman Bob Wood said people will be returning to work at the Wichita plan Monday. Wood described Saturday's offering as a "substantial improvement" over the proposal that prompted the October 8 walkout.
European airplane maker Airbus Monday announced plans to double investments in the US at the first Air Capital Supplier Summit in Wichita.
Senator Jerry Moran and Airbus Americas Chairman Allan McArtor hosted the event.
Moran says the partnership between Airbus and Kansas suppliers is aimed at growing the aviation industry in the state through more contracts with the France-based aircraft maker.
Airbus has an engineering center here in Wichita with more than 350 employees, making the Wichita facility the company's largest engineering center outside of Europe.

The Arnova ChildPad is an children-optimised Android 4.0 ICS Android tablet with great features for an affordable price. It comes with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, featuring a Rockchip RK2918 CPU, 1 Gb of RAM and is available with capacitive or resistive screens. The lack of Google Play (formerly Android Market) support is one the biggest inconvenience on the device, we are happy to bring you a solution. We built a custom firmware to add Google Play/Android Market and full root with read-write access to /system partition. The firmware is available in two versions – one for the capacitive ChildPad and another one for the resistive.
Arnova ChildPad custom firmware features
- Clean installation of latest Google Play Store 3.5.15, no more missing apps (Twitter, Facebook…)
- Installation of other Google Apps (Gmail, Play Music, Google Search)
- Full root support with writable /system partition
- Root access is controlled thru SuperSU.apk 0.89 (free version), a cool upgrade to SuperUser.apk by XDA developer Chainfire
- Updated Rockchip loader to latest version (2.20)
- Arctablet bootanimation
Check our Android 4.0.4 Custom Firmware which brings even more awesome features.
Our custom firmware can be installed in two ways. The first method is the easiest and will let you have Google Play running in about 10 minutes. The second method erases all the data stored on the tablet, but uses a safer approach.
|Usually ships in 1-2 business days
|$ 89.99
|£ 12.08
|Expédition sous 1 à 2 jours ouvrés
Arnova ChildPad custom firmware install easy procedure
Please note that this flashing method is easy to run but includes the same risks as a regular firmware flash. If it goes wrong for some reason and bricks your tablet, the only way to recover it (if the hardware isn't damaged) will be to use Rockchip Flashing tool.
It keeps the data and installed programs.
Step 1. Download Firmware
Choose one of the two firmwares from the custom firmware download section below, depending on what type of touchscreen your ChildPad has.
Please note that the firmwares are also available through our Arctools application, but you would need to side-load Arctools, because it is filtered out in Kids Store of Appslib.
Step 2. Transfer firmware to the tablet
Extract the zip file, so you get an update.img file on your pc. Copy the file to the root of your tablet(the main folder when you connect the ChildPad to your pc)
Step 3. Flashing the firmware
Ater disconnecting the usb cable, "Firmware updating" dialog will be asked for confirmation to install the package (=flash the firmware) click Install button. The tablet will reboot and install the firmware.
Step 4. Setup Google Play
After a few minutes, your tablet will be updated with the custom firmware. Setup your Account on Google Play Store and enjoy !
Alternative install procedure
Before starting, please make sure you backup all your existing apps, data and files that are on your tablet as they will be erased during the flash process. Also make sure your device is charged for more than 35% and is still charging via usb.
Step 1. Download Firmware
Choose one of the two firmwares from the custom firmware download section below, depending on what type of touchscreen your ChildPad has and extract the custom firmware image (update.img) on your computer hard drive.
Step 2. Install and run Rockchip Flashing tool
Please follow the Rockchip Flashing tool procedure: that will explain how to download Rockchip flashing tool, unpack the archive, put your device into flashing mode and flash the custom firmware file that you have unpacked in Step 1.
Step 3. Arnova ChildPad flashing and restart
After Rockchip flasher has transferred the custom firmware to the tablet, the device will restart and install the firmware. Finally, you will be back to Arnova default startup wizard.
You will find the 3 easy steps of the installation procedure in the following video, see how to get Google Play and root to your Arnova ChildPad in less than 10 minutes(video shows flashing an Arnova 10b G3, the flashing method for the ChildPad is the same) .
Arnova ChildPad custom firmware download
Choose one of the two firmwares from the custom firmware download section below, depending on what type of touchscreen (capacitive or resistive) your ChildPad has.
kasty-arnchilpadr-40-041.zip | ONLY FOR RESISTIVE SCREEN MODEL |
This firmware is specific to the Arnova ChildPad resistive screen model and should not be installed on other devices.
kasty-arnchildpadc-40-04.zip | ONLY FOR CAPACITIVE SCREEN MODEL |
This firmware is specific to the Arnova ChildPad capacitive screen model and should not be installed on other devices.

Setting up parental filtering on Google Play
This custom firmware will open your ChildPad thousands of applications in Google Play, but you may want to enable filtering, so your little ones do not see applications they are not supposed to see.
To achieve this, start Google Play Store, go to the upper right corner menu, click on it, select Settings
Scroll to "User Controls" section, click on Content filtering item
Make sure that only "Everyone" rating is checked.
According to Google, "Everyone" setting should not contain objectionable material, where "Low maturity" setting may include mild cartoon or fantasy violence or other potentially offensive content.
Let us know how it works for you in our Arnova ChildPad forum.

Thanks for everything so far. My kid goes bananas with all the games google play has to offer. That said, this is also a problem because the apps partition is only so small. I've seen some remarks about a bigger data partition size, are you guys still working on this or can it be done by myself (got quite a bit of linux/programming experience…no android though). Thanks again for the excellent work!

Excuse my English I'm Spanish
Hello, I bought a Childpad and I have a bug with my screen, sometimes I can't do anything, windows are shutting down by themselves, the only way to solve it is to restart the tablet…
I don't know if it's a hard or soft problem ?
I was thinking about send it back to the reseller but I have put your custom firmware on it, so I guess the garanty isn't working anymore ?
Thanx for your advices.
You can try to flash a different firmware, check our ChildPad forum to see if your tablet works better.
If you want to sent it back in warranty you can always flash back the original firmware, download it from here: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/arnova-firmwares-updates/
Thanx for your quick answer and sorry for my bad english.
I forgot to say that I didn't flash it, I've just done the "easy procedure" method, so do I need to flash it back to the original firmware or can I just do something more simple ?
can you please help me root/flash my archos AN7DG3C it is a Tabeo /kid tablet? i am having some difficulty and am new to the community!
Guys, that's awesome, that worked great…….
I received the Childpad today. The new 4GB and NOT Alvin version.
I decided to flash it, in order to get the Google Play Store. I did it with Arctools. When the flash was completed, the display didn't work anymore, like some others here also experienced. I now found out that the problem is that it's not the Alvin version.
My problem is also, that I can't install the Rockchip drivers on my WIn7 x86 computer. I tried everything, but my computer just doesn't want to select the driver manually. I can't access the tablet anymore. Is there any other way to put a firmware on my tablet? I guess I should use this firmware?!?
But what about my 4GB with this Firmware?
Thanks for your help!
I got it working last night. For those who have the same problem with the Rockchip drivers, see this youtube video:
Here you can see how to select the drivers manually. That worked for me. You just need to find the right one which is a signed driver. For now I have the firmware I listed in my post below on my device. It works. Looking forward for a JB firmware for this modell.
Hi – I have just installed the custom image to gain access to google play etc – I have managed to get it installed without any issues, but when I try and setup a google account I keep getting the message 'Unfortunately, Google Account Manager has stopped'.
I have rebooted etc but to no avail. I am new to android as have previosuly had PCss/Macs, and have bought one each for my daughters xmas presents.
If it matters I have the capacitive childpad and have obviously installed the correct img file.
I need help. Bought a Capacitive childpad for my 6 year old daughter and wanted to root it and get Google Play. I first tried kasty-arnchildpadc-40-04.zip and it all installed fine and restarted but then the touch screen wouldn't work.
So, i tried to install the JB firmware. Same again – installed the firmware, rebooted, got to the "Welcome" screen and i couldn't click the "start" button because the touchscreen wouldn't work
I am in Ireland but assume there is just one capacitive version in terms of hardware ?
I'd really appreciate any help
One more thing. When i selected the RockChip drivers, my PC is an AMD. The choice was AMD64 or x86. So, i selected AMD64. It told me it wasn't compatible with the platform. So, i tried the x86 drivers and they installed. The firmware updated and the "check firmware" worked too.
Could this be my problem ? There were no AMD32 drivers.
Maybe i will do the flash on my x86 laptop instead. I can't watch the youtube video in work here of that rockchip issue but i will when i get home.
Please tell me i do not have a 99 euro brick
hi rob
im in ireland too and was just about to flash the kids childpads.
did you get this sorted ??
it will flash but will you will have no wifi, im also in ireland and just did my kids, need to wait for an update to this issue.
Please check the ChildPad section on our forum, there is a fix for the WIFI problem.
Please check our ChildPad forum where you should find answers to your problem.
Thank you.
Just like to say thanks for this. I uploaded the firmware to the Childpad and it took a bit of time (during which I was praying all would go well) and then loaded fine.
I have a question about the programs and other things on there by default. Is there a good way / simple way to uninstall programs that don't fit the age of the child the tablet is for and therefore I'd like to delete. I deleted the videos but would also like to get rid of several of the programs and Playstore doesn't recognize them as being installed…
OK I figured it out (partly), just need to go into "AppsLib" in the Applications area and in "My Apps" within AppsLib you can uninstall apps.
However, I'm pretty sure there are a load of them like "kids Connect the dots" and Kids Numbers (that I have already purchased) that I'd like to remove and can't find in the list of installed apps when it is in my list of installed apps…!!!
hello ! need HELP PLEASE !
i just received the tablet for my kid today ( x-mas gift)
the first thing i did : put it on and configure the basic stuff
after i deceided to flash the firmware with your first easy method :
result : flash ok, the tablet restart, but the screen do not response ! it seems inactive so i can't use the tablet anymore, !!!
Any Idea ?
ps : i've tried the second method : with the rockchip tool but i didn't find the way to be in recoverymod on the childpad, and when i connect the childpad to the pc ( win7 64bit) it is not recognized by the pc ( driver can't be installed) !
it's strange because wbefore the first method of flash, the childpad was recognised easelly by my computer !
Recovery mode seems to be ok but strange because nothing appears on the screen, only in the rockchip tool interface !
I've upgrade to CFW to pass the tab in android 4.1.1 with the EvolutionRKTool method, i success but the result is the same : touch-screen doesn't work !!
i have find a way to re-install the official FW vers1.0 but i have lost all the android application that was propose to install during the first running time !!
it's work but with less application
So i need help and idea to flash and upgrade to android 4.1.1 with an functionnal touch screen.
I have the same problem. what it the to re-install the official FW???
To re install the official FW, just use the same tool ( rockchip 1.5) witch install the CFW, but load the official one in place off the CFW ! and let's go !
after you will have your childpad working with default parameters !
so use the link below to reinstall all the apps that desapears !
good luck and sorry for my english
best regard.
BUT does Excelletor have any solution to install CFW one the new childpad with a working touchscreen ?
I have the same problem. Have jou alrady fond somthing?
Greet dennis
Did you solve the wifi probleme? After the firmware update I can't aktivate my wifi. After turning on it will automatically turn of. Also after flashing with the original firmware. Any ideas?
hm, the update worked perfect, but seems that my wifi connection is lost now… any ideas…?
never mind, it worked perfect now, haha ! thx !!!
there's only a small amount of internal memory available for the apps, is it possible to move them to the SD?
This looks like a blessing! I'm sitting here with 5 ChildPads and found them disappointing… I wanted to add some apps on the device before giving it to the kids. I somehow ended up in Google Play and thought it was so much better than the silly AppsLib… but wow, we can't use it? O_o
I found this site by searching "how to use google play on childpad". And I want to instal this before giving them to the kids for christmas, so they can get some real apps on it =P
But I have a very important question. It says to NOT instal the wrong version, but how do you know? I have looked at the device, on the box and flipped through the papers that came with it. How do I know if it's capacitive or resistive screen model? All I know is that it's an Arnova ChildPad, 4 GB, 1 GB Ram, 1GHz. Hope you know how I can find out so I can try it =^_^=
great stuff !!! .. worked like a charm, my daughter can't stop smiling while playing all the fancy games.
thanks a lot!!
Hi, just to understand, if I download this "kasty-arnchildpadc-40-04.zip" is the desappearing shortcut problem solved? I know there is a newer version, 4.1.1, but I'm not familiar with flashing procedure and I would like to use the easy procedure apparently not available for 4.1.1. Thanks.
i tried to install this software with no luck. Have downloaded to my pic, extracted and when I try to copy to childpad the first thing that pops up is internal memory, i've copied and dropped into the internal memory and now it just sits there doing nothing, please help!!!
Did you unzip the update.img file? If you did, try navigating to update.img with the in-built file explorer.
[…] […]
Good stuff! Without the firmware the tablet would be quite crappy 😉
Now, as someone completely new to Android, I've googled for a way to install apps on the sd card instead of the internal storage to circumvent the 512 MB limit. But nothing worked so far.
There seem to be two different ways
1) Using "Move to SC card" that is supported since Froyo
With ICS this seems to have gone, at least I don't find it on the childpad with the custom firmware
2) Using the ADB shell and setting "pm setInstallLocation 2″
This does not seem to have any effect at all
Does anyone know a way to install apps on the sd card or maybe move installed apps there?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your message.
We are working on improving the firmware for a better usage of the storage for data, we'll see what we can do, as time permits.
In the meantime, we've built a custom firmware for the Capacitive ChildPad with extended space (1 Gb instead of 512 Mb) for the apps, you can find it in our ChildPad forum.
Splendid! Thanks a bunch
Hi, were can I find this firmware, I can't seem to find it… I have already installed the firmware posted on july 1st. Thanks!
thx for the update, but where can i find the new cf with 1GB? In the forum i didn't find it.
to admin
i am looking for the link to download the custom firmware to get the 1gb extended space i have the capacitve version of child pad
also is there an outside way say through the pc to put apps on the sd card to run on the childpad
This is probably a really stupid question but how do I do if my daughters childpad is capacitive or resistive ? We bought it from our local co-op store and it was pre-loaded with some alvin and the chipmunks stuff ??
Thanks in advance
First things first… GREAT JOB !
I do not want to put too much pressure on the shoulders of you developers but I have 1 small question. Maybe a stupid question. Is it possible to have google+ and google talk to work on this image? I tried to install the google+ via the play store but when selecting the account it always returned errors from the server. And google talk I took the apk from my SGS2 and copied it over and installed it fine. But when launching it, it stopped and closed.
Maybe I did something wrong?
We tried to get Google Talk working on it, but our test gave negative results. There is some stuff missing in the firmware which is needed to have Google Talk working correctly. Maybe we will fix that later, but we first want to fix the homescreen problems(fix is already working on both capacitive and resistive models, so won't take long) and the increased data partition. I will give Google+ a look too….

Any chance on getting the installation partition upped from 512 to 2 gigs like the Finless ROM?
We will probably make update with increased partition for /data soon.
Which size would you prefer ? 1 Gb, 1.5 Gb or 2 Gb ?
1.5Gb would be prefered, i'm running a 16 gig sd card for vids and audio so 1.5 would allow me to install all the kid books i want.
Thanks guys you guys saved this tablet from being weaksauce.
Any timeframe for this update?
People always say – when time permits. We are quite busy with all the firmware stuff for the ChildPad and other models, but once I will have my own linux setup running, it should go faster. 😉 Really can't give you any precise date.
No worries, you guys are doing great. I found another little quirk about the child pad. Apparently every time i reboot any apps or folders on the home screen get removed and its reset to the default folders. Anything you guys can look into.
So wishlist:
1.5gb install partition
Customizable Home screen
I have a temporary solution for disappearing shortcuts on the homescreen. Remove the default_workspace.xml file from your internal storage which should be located in mnt/sdcard/system/(you can do it either from default explorer app on your ChildPad or from your pc, it's not the /system/ folder which superuser permissions are granted for). After that, you can add your own shortcuts and they will not disappear after a fresh reboot. 😉
Actually, the firmware which fixes the homescreen problem for the resistive version is already released, but because Archos messed up build numbers, we thought we had a newer fw installed. 😉 We will probably rebuild the firmwares, but we need to wait for Archos to release the fixed fw for the capacitive…

But what residents in the vicinity of Dr. V.S. Krishna College Junction miss is the spirit of camaraderie
The lively Dr. V.S. Krishna College Junction is the hub of education and commercial activity. For residents living in and around, life revolves around the junction.
It is also home for hundreds of students, who live in the vicinity, especially those who come from the rural areas for study. They live in groups in hired bachelor accommodation. Student mess, food points, eateries, and fast food centres enliven the college junction with their presence.
The college apart, the area comes under the 10th municipal ward of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. Adityanagar, Gazetted Officers' Colony, Ambedkar Nagar, and part of Isukathota come under the ward. One unwelcome feature commonly found as in any other residential area is the fast fading togetherness and a spirit of local comradeship. The advent of apartment culture has narrowed down and limited the social gatherings to only among the apartment residents.
Rama Rao, an advocate living near Krishna College, says communication and social gatherings are now confined to the small world of apartments.
"We do not know what is happening in our neighbourhood. Before the dawn of apartment culture, owners of independent dwellings used to meet, socialise, and even organise colony-based associations. Such associations have become defunct and people are now confined to their barracks like apartment housing complexes," he says. Common initiatives and efforts, and a sense of camaraderie is missing. No effort is being made to commonly represent local problems or demands. Most of the people are not finding time to know what is happening in their colony. Many fortunate and unfortunate incidents go unnoticed and relative feelings go unexpressed. "We cannot help it," is what people say with a sense of resignation.
As the city grows vertical, the world of people is getting narrower and narrower, says a septuagenarian resident Vijay Prasad, who recalls happier life in the colony in the 80s and 90s.
He says, the old-timers in the colony lived as one family. "We had time to talk, converse, and laugh together in social gatherings and on holidays. But now, life is reflective of the poem of Wordsworth — What is this life full of cares, No time to Stand and Stare, No time to stand beneath the woods and hear the birds sing."
Many old-timers and retired people feel that the spirit of neighbourhood is missing.
No good parks
The area does not have good parks to boast of. Several banks have branches functioning, apart from several private schools catering to the needs of local residents.

Union Minister and DMK south zone organising secretary M.K. Alagiri on Friday visited the house of N. Suresh Babu alias 'Pottu' Suresh, who was brutally murdered by an armed gang in the city on Thursday night.
Accompanied by his family members, Mr. Alagiri, after placing a wreath, consoled Suresh's wife, daughter and relatives. Suresh, a DMK executive committee member and a confidant of Mr. Alagiri, was done to death in Jaihindpuram here when he was returning home in his car. The scene of crime was close to Mr. Alagiri's residence.
The body, sent to Government Rajaji Hospital for post-mortem, was taken in an ambulance to Suresh's house in TVS Nagar. DMK president M. Karunanidhi, in a statement condoled the death of Suresh. Former DMK Minister I. Periasami, party functionaries Pon. Muthuramalingam, P. Kulanthaivelu, G. Thalapathi, V. Velusami, Theni P. Mookiah and others were present at the hospital. Later, the body was taken to Moolakarai, where it was cremated.
'Arrest killers'
Mr. Alagiri told reporters, "I have lost a loyal party functionary. He was a good friend…The police should investigate and punish them."

An Indian spice similar to celery or parsley in taste but is stronger in both taste and smell. It's a good substitute for celery seed, parsley, and coriander leaves. It is a fruit that grows in Southeast Asia and is used for marinating mutton. It's commonly mixed with oil, heated, and added to curries. Other uses are for tenderizing meat. It is commonly mistaken for Ajwain (Bishop's Weed) but is different in that Ajmud is less pungent and is used for marinating where ajwain is added directly to curries to enhance flavor. Ajmud is referenced in ancient Indian medicine books as Ayurveda. It's used to treat respiratory disease, liver problems, colds, to boost appetites, and even to cleanse blood as it helps with heamoglobin counts. Ajmud seeds should be stored in a dry environment.
