It used to be easy to pick a favorite for an IndyCar race because the power teams such as Team Penske, Target/Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport.
It's getting increasingly difficult to forecast a favorite, however, because the depth of the Verizon IndyCar Series field has increased and a new aerodynamic package along with Firestone tires that quickly degrade over the course of a fuel run has made Saturday night's Firestone 600 a race of comers and goers.
IndyCar officials have allowed teams to add nearly 300 extra pounds of downforce to the aero package that was used in last year's race. Combine that with tire degradation and the scoring pylon will be changing throughout the race. Last year the most downforce a team could run was minus-5 degrees on the rear main-plate but this year the teams can adjust it to zero. Some teams can even include a maximum 8-inch whicker on the rear wing.
The other area that will make this race volatile is the intentional degradation of the Firestone Indy Firehawk tires that will cause the drivers to slide on the track. Tire management is always important but it will be vital in Saturday night's 248-lap race at the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway.
"We have just as good a chance of winning this race as anyone out there in the field," Josef Newgarden of Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing said after qualifying second quick to Will Power in Friday afternoon's qualifications.
From looking at the starting lineup for Saturday night's race both the big and the small teams are represented throughout the front of the field.
Power won the pole with a two-lap average of 218.896 miles per hour in a Dallara/Chevrolet for Team Penske. Newgarden represented the smaller teams in the series with a front-row starting position after running a two-lap average of 217.835 mph in a Dallara/Honda.
A major reason for that is the race package that is used by the Verizon IndyCar Series for this race has the cars sliding in the turns rather than pinned to the track. It's just enough downforce to allow the cars to race each other without creating pack racing.
"It's absolutely in the driver's hands now," Power said. "The races we had here before 2012 were like highway driving. You just held wide open. And on top of that it was bloody dangerous. For drivers this package is great because you have to drive the car. It's not easy to drive the car when it's sliding at 210 miles an hour. It's real tough.
"It's going to be interesting seeing the tires degrade and all the comers and goers. Green flag stops if people start stopping early for tires that is when you will see a big difference."
For a driver to hold on to a high-speed IndyCar at over 210 miles per hour when it slides in the turns can often separate the real racers from the regular drivers. But look through the 22-car field and it's hard to find a driver that doesn't belong at this level of the sport.
"There's not a bad driver in the field; that's why it is so mixed up every week," Power said. "There is no one bad. The guy who finishes last is still a really good driver. Every year it gets tighter and tighter to separate yourself and now you can't.
"I think it's great. If you are a fan watching you have no idea any weekend who is going to be great and who is not."
It was Power's second consecutive pole at Texas Motor Speedway and his second Verizon P1 Award of 2014. He also won the pole at Barber. It is the 34th pole of Power's IndyCar career that moves him into sole possession of sixth as he moves past Dario Franchitti.
Tire management will be important in the race but Power found a way to manage his tires over the course of his qualification attempt.
"I could see people were dropping off quick a lot on their qualifying run from their first to second lap," Power said. "I was sliding around but it was a great start to the weekend. Last year Helio Castroneves was very strong and I'm trying to get a car that good for the race if I can.
"The tires seem to drop and then plateau and you run a consistent pace. After that you can maintain in the 205 mile an hour range. I'm not sure looking after your tires will help. We'll see how it plays out."
Tony Kanaan of Target/Chip Ganassi Racing was third at 217.826 mph over two laps and Team Penske's Juan Pablo Montoya was fourth at 217.724 mph. Rounding out the top-five was oval-ace Ed Carpenter with a two-lap average of 217.677 mph.
"In my opinion this is the hardest oval we go to now," Carpenter said. "It's harder than Indy and harder than Fontana."
But a closer look at the rest of the field sees big-name drivers outside the top 10 and mid-level team drivers approaching the front of the grid. Justin Wilson, who won this race in 2012, was eighth for Dale Coyne Racing in a Honda with a two-lap average of 217.007 mph.
"This is IndyCar Racing this year and everyone is very, very good," Wilson said. "There isn't much separation any more.
"You won't see a pack race but it will be better than last year and I think it is going to be more interesting. I think the whole thing will be more manageable with a lot of people coming and going. We are still sliding around. It hasn't made it easy – it's a lot more controllable."
Rookie driver Mikhail Aleshin qualified 11th for his first-time on a high-banked oval but this year's Indianapolis 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay starts 12th – lower than one would expect from the Andretti Autosport driver.
And then there is four-time Texas IndyCar winner Helio Castroneves who starts 14th after a disappointing qualification effort for Team Penske.
Castroneves, however, is not concerned because on this oval it really doesn't matter where a driver starts because he can race his way toward the front.
"You can calculate all these little details and we will find out we have work to do but I feel strong for the race," Castroneves said. "I'm a little surprised with the qualification speed but it's something to learn. We were more aggressive on front wing on our qualification but it's OK.
"If you are going to have a problem here it's an oval. This place will have a lot of movement. We have to be patient and drive to the front.
"I still consider myself a favorite. Every time I go out on the track I consider myself a favorite. I'm not worried about the other guys; I'm thinking of myself."

porch paint
how long will it take oil base paint on a covered porch to dry?
I assume we are talking about the porch floor, correct?
Really depends on temperature and humidity outside but something like Benjamin Moore Porch, Floor and Patio paint, oil-based, will usually dry within 24 hours and usually to the touch in 12 or so. Always read the can label so you are not surprised. Never apply outside if temperatures will fall and stay below the threshold.
I have nothing against oil based floor finishes but you might think about shifting to a waterbased product. The Ben Moore waterbased is epoxy reinforced (the oil based is urethatne reinforced) and is pretty amazing stuff. You can put it over oil based that is properly prepped. It is not quite as glossy as oil though.

No Delta Force Xtreme 2 Fans?
I guess I'm the only one playing DFX2 here?
Maybe it's a little too odd school but I love having the large sniping maps and it looks like Novalogic is being more active in combating cheaters. Anyone else playing it?
Re: No Delta Force Xtreme 2 Fans?
I was in the beta and that was enough for me. The continued lack of communication from Nova on top of DFX2 being nothing more than a mishmash of older games made it not worth the $30. I'm hopefully they will finally pull their heads outta their asses and get Angels Falls right.

The Sicily region
Sicily is the southernmost region of Italy.
Sicily is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and its capital is Palermo. It is the largest and the most densely populated island of the Mediterranean. It is one of the most important tourist destinations of Europe: in fact, in the eighteenth century, it was the last stop on the Grand Tour, the journey that young European aristocrats, mostly British, used to make in Europe, many in Italy, to improve their education and their spiritual formation.
The climate in Sicily is "Mediterranean", with hot summers and mild winters. Coastal Sicily has a subtropical climate, as it corresponds to climatic parameters of this type. The average annual temperature on the coast is at least 18° C and this fact explains the presence of sub-tropical vegetation which has perfectly adapted to most of the island, next to the native Mediterranean vegetation. Palm trees, bougainvillea and banana plants are plant species of tropical origin that abound in Sicily thanks to the mildness of its climate.
The island of Sicily has been visited for centuries by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Normans. Each of these civilizations has left a mark on the culture, on the traditions and on the art of this beautiful region, with Greek temples, Roman mosaics and Arab and Norman buildings.
However, you can also find fascinating beauty almost everywhere: lovely coastline, picturesque villages, unspoiled nature and fashionable resorts, renowned wineries where you can taste excellent wine and authentic Sicilian cuisine.
In Sicily there is everything you could desire for your holiday!
If there is a place that has no "off-season," Sicily is one of these. A green island, rich in landscapes, art and culture. It is an island known for its beaches but also a destination for the spirit. Sicily, therefore, out of season is ideal to visit cities and places of art, to find gastronomic products without the pressure of crowds of tourists, to taste the new oils and cheeses, to eat good fish and to take advantage of a mild climate without the heat of the summer.
The list of typical products is very long. Each province (and in many cases, each town) has its own speciality. Sicilian "granita" is universally known. Less known but equally good is the "latte di mandorla" (almond milk), a drink that looks like milk but has the flavour of sweet almonds. Among the savory products there are "arancini" (rice balls) and "focacce" (durum wheat buns) with fillings made of parsley and tomatoes or cauliflower or other vegetables. There are many meals with aubergines, such as "caponata", "parmigiana" and "pasta alla norma". Even the fish, in many varieties, is an important ingredient of Sicilian cuisine: very famous in this area is the "tunnina a cipuddata" (tuna with onion) and "pesce spada alla Messinese" (swordfish with capers, olives and tomatoes). Typical of Trapani is couscous, main dish of the culinary tradition of the southern Mediterranean, which is prepared with both fish and meat. Among the sweets of the region we must not forget "cannoli", "cassata", "torrone" (nougat), most of these prepared with sweet almonds of Noto and pistacchio nuts of Bronte.
There are many places you need to visit and spend time in: Cefalu, Taormina and Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano (3,323 meters above sea level) near Catania in the north east of the island, the majestic monuments in the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento, the beautiful Trapani area and Erice and the historic centres of Palermo and Catania .
On the eastern side of the island there is the Baroque architecture of Ragusa Ibla, Noto and Modica a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The house is situated next to the beach of Lido di Noto with has a score of "5 sails", the equilavent of a blue flag, which assures clear blue water as well as good facilities close to the water's edge.
The house is ideally located at the centre of Lido di Noto and you can find bars, food shops and restaurants.
Recommended Bars: Caffè Sicilia in Noto, one of the best pastry shops and bars in Italy according to the Gambero Rosso Guide. Restaurantsin Noto: Crocifisso; Dammuso Baglieri, Fontana d'Ercole, Marpessa, Meliora Il Cantuccio and the Lounge bar Anche gli Angeli.
Lido di Noto is located a little less than an hour's drive from the International Airport of Catania, with cheap flights from all over Europe.
Besides the beach in front of the house, with its crystal clear waters and beach of golden sand, there are, just a few kilometers away, other beautiful beaches, among the most beautiful on the island, including the nearby Cala Mosche, Eloro, Marianelli, Marchesa, San Lorenzo, Cittadella, Portopalo, the island of Capo Passero and the "Isola delle Correnti". The famous Natural Reserve of Vendicari is a wonderful place where you can find unspoiled natural beauty, where in some seasons rare species of migratory birds nest which makes this an ideal place for bird-watching.
Leaving the beach behind, you can take the roads inland and go searcing for those intense flavors and aromas which give identity to this territory rich in culinary excellence, and great wines.
The house is also located just 5 kms away from the beautiful baroque town of Noto, included in UNESCO World Heritage List, with the cathedral and its numerous palaces and churches, a triumph of Sicilian baroque, and it is described by the art historian Cesare Brandi as the "Garden of Stone". In every corner you can find baroque friezes, capitals, churches and noble palaces.
In Noto you should not miss: the characteristic procession of San Corrado, the Patron Saint of Noto, which occurs on February 19th and on the last Sunday of August; the religious traditions of Easter week; the Infiorata, a flower festival which occurs in third and fourth week of May.
30 kms away is Siracusa, the capital of Magna Graecia with the old center of Ortigia and its splendid archaelogical area and Greek Theater.
The surrounding area offers a variety of cultural attractions and other beautiful baroque towns: Modica, Scicli, Ragusa Ibla and Palazzolo Acreide.
There are also sanctuaries and the ruins of the ancient city of "Noto Antica", the mosaics of "Villa del Tellaro" and the necropolis of Pantalica.
The caves and the gorges of Cava Grande of Cassibile are worth a visit with the small emerald lakes where you can swim, and the river area of Valle dell'Anapo, with it's fish and fresh water crabs.
So, this is a good base to explore south-eastern Sicily, with its cities, Blue Flag beaches, trails and gorges, to visit the Greek and Roman ruins in the surrounding countryside or go to one of the wineries in the area.
The mild climate, the mountain paths, ancient villages, caves, churches and convents are unequalled.
I recommend that you spend at least two weeks' holiday in this part of Sicily. This will be just enough to be able to enjoy it's masterpieces and the unique and excellent cuisine and great wines.

"Tutto perfetto, nei minimi dettagli!"
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo delizioso appartamento la prima settimana di giugno, 3 adulti e due bambini di cui uno di un anno circa. Per prima cosa da sottolineare la cortesia di Livia, padrona di casa, e del marito; al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato un appartamento tenuto benissimo, pulitissimo, spazioso e ben organizzato, completo di tutti i comfort (lavatrice, microonde, seggiolone, lettino da campeggio meglio del nostro!), la biancheria profumata, teli da spiaggia, ombrellone, giochi da spiaggia per i bimbi. Inoltre bottiglia di vino in frigo, olio di produzione locale, beni di prima necessità (sale, zucchero ecc).
La posizione è invidiabile, direttamente sul mare, la visuale è super, il terrazzo ideale per rilassanti pranzi/cene vista mare.
Un soggiorno fantastico e assolutamente da ripetere, per tutti, giovani e meno giovani, con e senza bambini. Speriamo di poterci tornare presto!!!

"Schöne Wohnung mit traumhaften Meerblick"
Wir hatten zehn Tage wundervollen Urlaub an diesem schönen Ort und es ist perekt für die Herbstferien. Das Wetter Ende Oktober hätte nicht besser sein können: 24-26 Grad und Sonne satt. Das Meer war ebenfalls gefühlte 24 Grad warm. Der Strand: Liegt direkt vor der Haustür und ist in der Nebensaison kaum besucht. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Er könnte etwas gepflegter sein, das ist aber ein allgemeines Problem. Nicht nur die Angler, die man fast täglich (und nachts) am Strand beobachten kann, hinterlassen ihren Müll (und Angelhaken), sondern auch andere Strandgänger entledigen sich ihres Mülls, meist Plastik. Hunde dürfen auch an den Strand.
Die Wohnung: Ist ruhig und zentral gelegen. Man kann von dort aus tolle Ausflüge starten. Schnell ist man in Avola, Noto und Syrakus. Unser Tipp: Unbedingt zum Etna aufbrechen und auch das Inselinnere besuchen. Wir haben uns in das malerische Städtchen Vizzini verliebt. Vizzini liegt ca. 65 km südwestlich von Catania am Südwesthang des Monte Lauro. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist sehr gut. Schöne Möbel, geschmackvolle Deko. Die Matratzen sind gut. Es gibt einen Haartrockner, Bügeleisen, Waschmaschine, Nähkästchen, Strandspielzeug usw. Essen: Verpfegen kann man sich, wenn man das Auto bemüht, recht gut. In Avola und Noto gibt es große Supermärkte und nette Lokale. Die beiden kleinen Märkte in Lido di Noto waren nicht so toll, was aber bestimmt an der Nebensaisson liegt. Restaurants: Von der gegenüberliegenden Pizzeria Scorocco kann man sich leckere Pizza holen. Sonst haben wir am Ort kein anderes Lokal getestet. Frau Cassar, die Besitzerin, hält eine große Liste mit sehr guten Tipps bereit. Unbedingt auch mal auf einem Agriturismo (z.B. Agriturismo Vendicari) essen. Das sizilianische Essen ist ein Traum!
Wir wurden von der Vermieterin sehr herzlich begrüßt und mit dieser herzlichen Gastfreundschaft ist man uns überall auf der Insel begegnet. Ein Tipp noch zum Thema Autofahren: Hier gelten andere Regeln. Stoppschild und durchgezogene Linien sind nur Zierde. Traue keinem Zebrastreifen. Merke: Wer zuerst kommt fährt auch zuerst! Egal wie. Und dabei immer kräftig hupen!

Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took steps to make 150 megahertz of spectrum available for shared broadband use by unanimously approving a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) setting forth proposed rules for a new spectrum sharing regime that will make available additional spectrum for carrier-grade small cell deployments, fixed wireless broadband services and general commercial use in the 3.5 GHz Band through the creation of a new Citizens Broadband Service.
This proposal reflects another significant step towards implementation of the spectrum sharing principles articulated in the 2012 report from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (the so-called "PCAST" report). Through the use of a three-tiered access and sharing model comprised of federal and non-federal incumbents the FCC intends to facilitate spectrum sharing between different users and uses of the spectrum.
The Citizens Broadband Service was first proposed in a 2012 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). In the NPRM, the Commission proposed a three-tier (Incumbent Access tier, Priority Access tier and the General Authorized Access (GAA) tier), license-by-rule authorization framework that would facilitate opportunistic use of the 3.5 GHz Band while protecting existing incumbent users of the spectrum. Incumbent Access tier users, which include authorized federal and grandfathered fixed satellite service users, would have protection from harmful interference from all other users in the 3.5 GHz Band. Federal users would be further protected from harmful interference by exclusion zones where no other use of the spectrum would be permitted. The Priority Access tier would be limited to certain users with critical quality-of-service needs (such as hospitals, utilities, and public safety entities) and would be authorized to operate with some interference protection in portions of the 3.5 GHz Band at specific locations. Finally, in the GAA tier, users would be authorized to use the 3.5 GHz Band opportunistically within designated geographic areas but would be required to accept interference from Incumbent and Priority Access tier users.
Access to the three tiers would be managed by a Spectrum Access System. This system will consist of a dynamic database (or multiple databases) that incorporate technical and functional requirements necessary to manage access and operation across all three tiers.
Although there is broad support for making the 3.5 GHz Band available for shared broadband use, there are very diverse views of how such shared use should be implemented, especially with regard to the Priority Access tier. The primary issues of contention are whether the Priority Access tier should be limited to critical care and first responder users, and if it not, who should be allowed to use the Priority Access tier and how rights should be assigned for use of the Priority Access tier. Another issue is with the large federal exclusion zones on the coasts that are estimated to exclude 60% of the population and within which non-federal 3.5 GHz operations will be prohibited.
Because of the wide range of proposals submitted by commenters, the FCC released a Public Notice on Nov. 1, 2013, seeking comment on a Revised Framework for the 3.5 GHz Band and also held two public workshops to further explore the technical requirements, architecture, and operational parameters of the proposed Spectrum Access System.
Although the FNPRM has not yet been released, the FCC press release and statements at today's open meeting indicate that the FNPRM incorporates many aspects of the Revised Framework and concepts raised during the workshops.
Based upon that record, we believe the FNPRM will not modify the originally-proposed Incumbent Access tier, although the FCC seeks comment on limiting the scope of the exclusion zones. However, significant changes are being made to the Priority Access and GAA tiers. Rather than limiting access to certain users in the Priority Access tier, the FCC now proposes to issue priority access licenses, or PALs, to a variety of users, including mobile broadband providers. Each PAL would authorize exclusive use of a single 10 MHz priority access channel per census tract for 1 year and possibly up to 5 years and would be subject to a streamlined auction procedure. PALs could be aggregated across time, channel and geography. The GAA tier would operate under a license-by-rule authorization framework to allow for open flexible access. At all times, fifty percent of the 3.5 GHz band will be reserved for GAA use and GAA users would be allowed to opportunistically use any unused Priority Access channels.
The FNPRM also includes additional technical rule proposals for the Spectrum Access System and baseline standards for devices to prevent harmful interference and efficient use of the spectrum. In addition, as in the NPRM, the FCC proposes to include an additional 50 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band for the Citizens Broadband Service.
Additional analysis and information will be available upon release of the FNPRM.

University Presidents—Speak Out!
The timidity of presidents is particularly striking in the context of diminishing public funds for higher education. Andrew Delbanco, in his book College, notes that the University of Virginia "now receives a mere 8% of its funding from the state of Virginia, down from nearly 30% a quarter century ago." One of the few leaders to respond forcefully is Jonathan Cole. In 2009 Cole, a sociologist who served as provost at Columbia from 1989 to 2003 (during which time he defended the academic freedom of Edward Said), published a valuable book, The Great American University, which focuses on the top research universities. How they developed historically, how they achieved great things in the sciences and social sciences, and how they are under threat are the matters that preoccupy Cole.
Chief among the threats are politically motivated interventions from outsiders, which proliferated in the Bush era. Among many examples, Cole cites government pressure on the peer review system at the National Institutes of Health and sweeping assaults on Columbia professors who study the Middle East. (Not mentioned by Cole is that Columbia's president, Bollinger, was dismayingly silent in the face of those attacks, by pro-Israel activists and journalists, at his own institution [see Sherman, "The Mideast Comes to Columbia University," April 4, 2005].) The other central issue for Cole is the massive loss of dollars for those institutions that rely on public funds. Near the top of his list is UC Berkeley, which is being "bled by the state."
Cole's book evinces a yearning for presidents like Robert Hutchins, who implemented a bold vision for higher education at the University of Chicago and tenaciously defended his institution in difficult times. Cole makes a powerful case that higher education leaders have failed to defend their own institutions with a Hutchins-like intensity. He includes himself in the indictment: "I consider myself as having failed at this, until I wrote this book."
"Presidents have done a very, very poor job of using the bully pulpit for higher education," he says. "They have done particularly poorly at educating the American people about the value of the university—its centrality to the future welfare of this country. They have done abysmally on the humanities, failing to educate the public about why the humanities are central to the university, and why they are even central to the sciences in the future." For Cole, it comes down to guns or butter. Presidents "have failed to explain why the public ought to be supporting the universities as a nondiscretionary item in the budget. You can train three or four students at Berkeley for what it costs to incarcerate a prisoner in California."
In light of the austerity that has been imposed on so many public colleges and universities, Cole wonders why more presidents don't resign. "There should be a strong enough view, articulated clearly to governors, legislators and to regents, which says, 'Here is the value of UCLA, Berkeley, of San Diego, of the community colleges of California. If we disrupt this, we are killing the state. And if you are going to continue to just strangle us, here are the consequences of that for the state of California and the nation, and you will have my resignation.' And elected officials would probably take the resignation. But the presidents would be taking a stand."
When Cole scans the corridors of power in higher education, he's not too pleased with what he sees: "There aren't many presidents who are fighting against the powers that be."
* * *
Was there truly a "golden age" of engaged college and university presidents who "sculpted" society? How relevant is that tradition in our time? Cole notes that many past presidents were "Janus-faced." Nicholas Murray Butler, who led Columbia from 1902 to 1945, won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he also fired professors who opposed US entry into World War I. Conant, according to his biographer James Hershberg, was both progressive and staunchly pro-establishment in his views. Kerr was an educational visionary and a law-and-order administrator who clashed with student protesters he didn't understand—a set of mistakes he owned up to in his memoir, The Gold and the Blue. "I don't know that there was a golden age," says Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University, "but these were people who did at least mount the public stage and try to say something that wouldn't just be relevant to their campuses."
Let us also remember that, at their best, those "golden-era men" were very good indeed. Consider the remarkable career of Hutchins. According to his biographer Mary Ann Dzuback, he stood up to his McCarthy-era detractors at public hearings in Illinois, helped educate the public on the peaceful uses of atomic energy, launched the Great Books program and chaired the Commission on the Freedom of the Press (which called for nonprofit media ventures and tighter regulation of media monopolies and drew applause from Walter Lippmann and A.J. Liebling).
Scanning the résumés of two newly appointed Ivy League presidents—Yale's Peter Salovey and Dartmouth's Philip Hanlon, who will replace an activist president, Jim Yong Kim—one notices that their entire careers have been spent in academia. The most distinguished presidents of the past had more varied and intriguing backgrounds. As a student at Swarthmore, Kerr volunteered in the ghettos of Philadelphia. During the 1933 cotton pickers' strike in the San Joaquin Valley—which he called "the biggest and bloodiest rural strike in American history"—Kerr went there to interview sheriffs, strikers and farmers. In 1945, Kerr became the director of the Institute of Industrial Relations at Berkeley and arbitrated the ferocious class warfare that erupted on the California waterfront.
Those endeavors helped to prepare Kerr for the task of building and leading the University of California in the '50s and '60s, where he found himself under attack from powerful forces. In 1952, an initiative to add a loyalty oath requirement to the state constitution was put before the voters of California. A group of Bay Area Quakers asked Kerr to join them in resisting it, and he did so in public pronouncements. As he related in his memoir:
I knew the possible consequences and they came quickly, including several from regents. The most dramatic was at the next meeting of the board. The chair of the board (Edward Dickson) came to my office and seized me by the coat lapels. He said I was being viewed as the "Red Chancellor" of the "Red Campus," and he wanted me to retract what I had done. I refused. I said that I had acted as a citizen in an off-campus context; that I had not given up my rights as an American citizen when I became chancellor; that I never would; and that the regents should know this. Regent Dickson turned his back to me and walked away.
Entreaties for presidential courage have tended to come from outside critics and writers; but occasionally presidents themselves, including Theodore Hesburgh of the University of Notre Dame, have urged their colleagues to rouse themselves. Hesburgh, 95, no longer gives interviews. But his staff referred me to an essay he wrote in 2001 for The Chronicle of Higher Education, "Where Are College Presidents' Voices on Important Public Issues?" "Today's college presidents," Hesburgh wrote, "appear to have taken Voltaire's advice to cultivate their own gardens—and…they are doing that very well." Hesburgh's conclusion remains pertinent: "We cannot urge students to have the courage to speak out unless we are willing to do so ourselves." (On the theme of presidential courage, note the recent example of Karen Gould of Brooklyn College, who stood up to outside critics demanding the cancellation of a February 7 panel discussion on Israel.)
Leon Botstein of Bard, who has drawn fire for a joint venture the college established with Al-Quds University in East Jerusalem, makes a similar argument. In 1996, in response to a questionnaire from Rita Bornstein, former president of Rollins College, Botstein wrote, "A college president has an obligation to be more outspoken than the average citizen…. Failure to be in a leadership role on matters of public policy…is an act of cowardice and an avoidance of responsibility. We need to teach our students that the civilized assertion of one's beliefs is an obligation, an honor, and a pleasure." Does Botstein feel the same way sixteen years later? He replies, "I would only strengthen the sentiment."
On April 20 of last year, Jon Wiener reported that the president of the
University of California issued a warning: "avoid all protests."

Two losers ride the TAT
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Feb 2006
Location: Oregon coast
Oddometer: 448
Stuff not needed/didn't work/needs improvement
- One side of my DirtBagz was basically filled by three things: a thick quarter-zip fleece, Thor waterproof over-the-boot riding pants, and a 2-liter Platypus water container. I never used the waterproof pants because when you ride into a thunderstorm, you don't really have the time or inclination to change pants.
The fleece was quite bulky and I thought it was going to be a big waste of space until the last couple days in Oregon, where it was COLD!
The Platypus water container ended up springing a leak, otherwise it would have been a great solution. I had to fold the cap part over a bit for it to fit in the saddlebag, and apparently it couldn't handle the folding.
- I bought a "last year's model clearance" hydration pack from Fox with a 3-liter bladder. The pack is fairly nice (really nice for $40!) but the bladder cap is fiddly and always wants to cross-thread, and initially it had a really plastic taste. Tony's hydration bladder was much easier to fill and handle -- hopefully he will post the brand/model.
- My luggage consisted of DirtBagz Ranger saddlebags and a generic duffel bag on the rack. In terms of capacity and general usefulness, this is a good set-up. However, neither the DirtBagz nor my duffel are waterproof and stuff inside, even things in plastic grocery bags, got wet each of the first several days of the trip from thunderstorms. Next trip at least some of my luggage will be waterproof. (I do have a waterproof duffel, but it is a good bit larger than the one I brought.)
- Tin cake pans for oil changes. I saw these disposable tin pans at the store a few days before leaving for the trip and thought, "Oh, these look like they'll hold 2 quarts of oil, and should be handy for filter cleaning and such." Well, disposable tin pans do not retain their integrity after a few days of rough roads, so the oil change ended up leaking a fair quantity of oil into the hotel parking lot. We did much better "dumpster diving," finding some restaurant-sized vegetable oil containers.
To finish out thoughts about luggage:
- The other side saddlebag held: tools that don't fit in my 'tool tube,' spare air filter, Filterskins, NoToil filter cleaner and oil and rubber gloves, a substantial First Aid kit (fortunately barely used on this trip), snacks, riding gloves, spare rear tube (spare front tube rode on front fender).
- The duffel bag held clothes, Keen sandals, cord and clothespins for clothes-drying, toiletries, swimsuit, Benchmark map book and pages, and some rags.
- Fox hydration pack also carried my enduro jacket, baseball cap, fleece beanie cap, Nuun tablets, flashlight, PLB, sunscreen, pocketknife, sunglasses, etc.
- Strapped to the luggage rack is a large Sven Saw (collapsible camp saw). We never needed this, but I'm still glad we brought it.
Stuff I wish I had brought:
- a Sharpie or similar pen. We saw messages from other ADV folks written on the walls of some old cabins, but all we had was a ball-point pen.

The century is 12 going on 13. What say we begin with a tribal initiation of our collective psyche?
It's time to slam the door on 2012 and shout, "You're not the boss of me!" to The Man.
Stomp your feet and raise your middle finger to the misguided politicians, wartime quagmires and corporate interests that brainwash us and contribute to the mass epidemic of detachment, alienation, instant gratification and spoiled self-centeredness that's poisoned our spirits since the century's horrific 9/11-scarred infancy.
As we go from tween to teen, let the hormones rage and let's shake things up.
First, some props to 2012: The groundswell of support for the re-election of Prez Obama, Time's Man of the Year, was inspiring regardless of which side of the political fence you choose to smoke your weed.
Speaking of pot, the beginning of the end of marijuana criminalization sparked up in Washington and Colorado. Kudos to doing away with outdated ideas and hypocritical backwardness.
There have been great strides in philanthropy with youth grassroots movements, Kickstarter campaigns and microgrants, along with the localized focus on food and arts, and hopeful modicums of progress among the oppressed à la the Arab Spring and Burma. May the next generation see more Aung San Suu Kyis.
The fall of '12 saw glimmers of a new hopeful, idealistic attitude in America. We're recovering from our PTSD, waking up from apathy and finally working on coming together to slow down climate change and examine our gun laws and culture of violence. It's sad it took a devastating storm and the massacre of innocent children to stir things up, but, hey, people tend to learn the hard way.
Thirteen — acne and emotional turbulence aside — is an age to look forward to. Developmentally speaking, 13 is the age we form our identity. We start to think critically, to challenge, to opine, to talk back and — hopefully — acquire a more sophisticated sense of humor and taste in literature, movies and music. We learn to play music, to draw lifelike figures, to write maudlin poetry. We read Henry Miller and Caligula and revel in the joy of diddling ourselves.
For some, it's the beginning of genius. For others, it's just a descent into droopy-drawered, Mountain Dew-drinking apathy. God willing, our century is destined for the former and not the latter. (That is, if New York Mayor Bloomberg has his way.)
Thirteen isn't all bad. It is after all the age that inspired Big Star to record its classic tune. The 40-year-old ballad's hopeful innocence and delicately evocative brevity convey the butterfly-in-the-tummy feelings of budding adolescence.
As the century ages, let's make it our goal to begin to grow up online — to try to wean ourselves off the bad habits of excessive texting and posting. Sure, there are bored, dormant, waiting-room moments that are ideal for Facebooking pictures of your cat or tweeting about who won Dancing With the Stars, but do try to talk with your mouth and make eye contact when you're having dinner with friends. Really, people.
Oh, yeah, the "Really?" Do you think we ask "Really?" enough? And pardon me for beginning yet another sentence with "Do you think?" Another lazy habit to mark off on the New Year's resolution list.
Please, in 2013, let's begin to try to have original ideas. Enough with the retweets, reposts, remakes, retreads, cover songs, tribute bands, sequels, zombie references, teenage vampires, cupcake bakeries, T-shirt companies, iPhone/Apple/Mac fetishes, ripoff '80s synth bands and the fucking YOLOs. Enough already.
No more dumbed-down tunes with whiny emo vocals and silly dance music. While I like me some Die Antwoord, I don't fink you freaky and I don't like you a lot. And nooo, sexy lady. I don't want to [?] Gangnam-style.
While I'm loath to reveal my age, I experienced my 13th year in 1982-'83 — an exciting time to enter adolescence.
So much was happening. MTV was called Music Television and actually played these things called music videos, on TV, without a nasty Grinch-like message from a music label saying we don't have permission to watch it.
Punk and New Wave were in their prime, and I had to save up for never-heard-before styles of music — hard to even remember what that's like, eh? Music was hard to get. It was one sexy bitch of a coquette. Now the omnipresence of iTunes, Spotify and Pandora reeks with Fergie perfume and bipolar disorder.
With the Internet and fashionably horn-rimmed geeks marginalizing counter-culture, it's encouraging that the century's 12th year welcomed intelligent, iconic divas on the Billboard charts — like Grammy nominee Janelle Monáe, Lykke Li and Florence + the Machine. Here's to more badass women on magazine covers, who have more to sing about than ex-boyfriends and their pathetic desperation.
At 13, we get a bigger allowance and get to go to the movies. In movie theaters, blockbusters have started to become watchable, movies like Argo, Moonrise Kingdom and Lincoln — the year's anomalously great biopic and timeless allegory about overcoming oppression.
As the brain cells surge, may society gain inspiration — may we shed the impressionable cluelessness of '12's Bieber fever. Perhaps it's a stretch, but it's my hope that 2013 will begin a new era of self-awareness, a realization that we're too desensitized and fed up to bend over for employers, politicians, media conglomerates and corporations who consistently underestimate us.
It's also my hope that our political leaders will usher in a new age of discourse instead of dutifully memorized talking points, that they will engage in an inspired, passionate dialogue — even if the voice of their convictions embarrassingly changes octaves from time to time. Here's simply to convictions.
I may sound idealistic, but the whiff of 13's pheromones has gotten me a little worked up.

Waltham, Mass.In times of economic distress and plenty, ninety percent of Americans pray, more than half of us once a day or more. We pray for big thingsto stay healthy, to keep our jobs, and to strengthen our relationships. And we pray for small thingsto find parking spaces and missing items. Some of us are sure God exists and others pray simply to cover the bases.
A novel Brandeis study published in the current issue of Poetics analyzed 683 prayers written in a public prayer book placed in the rotunda of the Johns Hopkins University Hospital between 1999 and 2005. The study found that prayer writers seek general strength, support, and blessing from their prayers, rather than explicit solutions to life's difficult situations, and, more often than not, frame their prayers broadly enough to allow multiple outcomes to be interpreted as evidence of their prayers being answered.
Lead author Wendy Cadge, a sociologist, found that the prayers fell into one of three categories: about 28 percent of the prayers were requests of God, while 28 percent were prayers to both thank and petition God, while another 22 percent of the prayers thanked God.
The study sheds light on the psychology of the people behind the prayers. Most writers anthropomorphized God, addressing God as they would a relative, friend, or parent, preferring familiarity over deference. "Most prayer writers imagine a God who is accessible, listening, and a source of emotional and psychological support, who at least sometimes answers back," says Cadge.
"Prayer writers also tend to frame their prayers broadly, in abstract psychological language, and this allowed them to make many interpretations of the results of their prayers," she said, explaining that the study found that prayer provides a means through which people can reflect on and reframe difficult events in an effort to understand those events in the context of their beliefs.

Airbus Sharklet demonstrator validates in-service retrofit programme
Airbus' Sharklet In-Service Retrofit solution has been finalised following the successful completion of a full-scale "Embodiment Demonstrator" in Cardiff UK using an actual aircraft. The exercise, which was attended by Customers and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul organisations (MROs), allowed Airbus to optimise the embodiment sequence as well as to perform fuel and wing-alignment certification tests. Customers selecting the Sharklet retrofit option will purchase the full kit and service bulletin from Airbus Upgrade Services, and have the installation performed by their chosen MRO. Approximately 3,500 A320 Family aircraft in service can benefit from reduced fuel-burn and increased performance by taking advantage of the retrofit which includes the associated wing reinforcement for the Sharklets. The backlog for the in-service retrofit kits is growing, now ordered by customers in all regions. The first is expected to be completed in 2Q 2015 with production of 20 kits per month projected in 2016.
A350 XWB lighting mock-up commissioned at Customer Definition Centre
The A350 XWB Customer Definition Centre (CDC) at Hamburg recently commissioned into operation its newest cabin definition tool: the lighting mock-up. Called "Illuminate," the device represents an interior section of the A350 XWB cabin which is fitted with the A350's controllable mood-lighting technology. Here customers can make decisions about the appearance of their cabin, and thanks to the cutting-edge LED technologies, they can choose from 16.7 million colour combinations and the light strips in the cabin can be controlled individually in 12.5 inch sections. The process begins with the technical and design preparation, after which the lighting is defined, using the mock-up to create scenarios in the different classes, rooms, and door areas. Finnair was the first airline customer to use the lighting mock-up to define the lighting for its A350 XWB cabin offering.
Airbus develops portable inflatable hangar for engine maintenance
Airbus Customer Services is offering an inflatable weatherproof turbofan engine maintenance tent which would allow customers or working parties to perform engine maintenance in adverse weather when there is no conventional hangar available. The solution enables "indoor" engine maintenance to allow the work to be performed with optimal environmental conditions and is available for all Airbus widebody aircraft including the A330, A340, A350 and A380.
The equipment which is both lightweight and portable and also oil, acid and hydraulic fluid resistant, comprises an inflatable dome tent with integral heating, ventilating, and air conditioning which can be used on all Airbus aircraft engines. The system effectively allows maintenance teams to work anywhere, bringing the hangar to the aircraft, rather than the aircraft to the hangar. Not only can operators avoid waiting for available hangar space – reducing AOG time – but they can also avoid costly hangar fees.
New process optimises scheduled maintenance requirements
Airbus Customer Services has developed and introduced a new process to optimize scheduled maintenance requirements. The process, which refines the task intervals, was put into place following in-service experience feedback from scheduled and unscheduled maintenance tasks. The process can be implemented at fleet level (via the Maintenance Review Board Report) as it complies with international regulation standards. It can also be customized by each operator for the optimization of their own maintenance programme. Airbus continues improving the efficiency and flexibility of the scheduled maintenance requirements in order to increase aircraft availability at optimized costs. In addition and following operators' feedback, Airbus has adapted the production process of scheduled maintenance documents. All documents are now released in a synchronized way and published in a unique environment on the AirbusWorld portal.
Airbus' Satair division introduces used spare parts services
Satair Group, the dedicated Airbus spares management subsidiary, has introduced a new initiative: 'Used Equipment and Component Management'. The unit marks Airbus' entry into the used parts business which complements Satair Group's current portfolio of new spare parts. Around 600 overhauled structural parts can now be purchased via the AirbusSpares portal or ordered directly through the Customer Order Desk. These used parts are immediately available, have full traceability, competitive prices and cover a wide scope of parts across the Airbus fleet, maximizing aircraft value throughout its entire life, from production to residual value optimisation through material re-use.
Airbus tests new "thermoplastic automatic fibre placement" composite manufacture technique for simpler and faster production
Airbus is developing a new manufacturing technique: "thermoplastic automatic fibre placement," - which promises to accelerate the production of composite components. As Airbus prepares to ramp-up production for the A350 XWB, the manufacturing team in Nantes, France which currently uses the thermoset (heat-curing) technique, has been evaluating the new thermoplastic lay-up process which uses heat to soften the material for placement and adhesion, after which the tows (fibres and resin) cool to ambient temperature, at which point the part hardens to be ready for the step (curing). One of the main advantages the using thermoplastic composite layup technique is that it can work at speed of one metre per second. Another advantage over thermoset is that thermoplastic increases process and technology performance as it reduces the need for cleaning and maintenance of machines – as there is less waste material. Storing the raw material is also simpler as thermoplastic is inert, it has an infinite life and there is no need to freeze it.
Airbus extends cold weather limits for the A320 Family operations
Airbus has received approval from the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee to operate the A320 Family in extreme cold weather conditions – down to minus 54° Celsius. This certification by the Russian aviation authorities is a major milestone for the extension of the A320 network in Russia enabling the airlines to have more flexibility with regards to their fleet planning, while connecting major central hubs to very important northern destinations in the region. The extension is applicable to the A319, A320 and A321 aircraft equipped with CFM 56-5B engines, and allows up to 120 minutes turnaround time. Today there are over 270 A320 Family aircraft currently in operation with 11 Russian carriers.
Airbus RNP-AR retrofit selected by Delta Air Lines for A320 Family fleet
Delta Air Lines has signed an agreement with Airbus Upgrade Services to enhance its A320 Family fleet with "Required Navigation Performance Authorisation Required" capability (RNP-AR). 126 aircraft will be upgraded during 2015. The enhancement to the aircraft will allow Delta's operations to take advantage of the increasing number of RNP procedures available within and outside the USA. RNP-AR offers benefits in terms of efficient approaches and departures, bringing significant fuel savings, time savings and overall efficiency. Delta joins the growing number of operators taking advantage of Airbus' latest navigation systems upgrade.
Airbus to lead SESAR's Extended Projected Profile (EPP) flight trials
SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) recently awarded Airbus the contract to lead the newly-launched PEGASE consortium ("Providing Effective Ground & Air Data Sharing via Extended Projected Profile", including larger-scale flight trials. The project will pave the way for the exchange of aircraft trajectory information between all ATM actors, thereby enhancing air traffic and flight predictability, optimizing traffic-flow management with fewer delays, thus improving passenger comfort, reducing fuel consumption and costs. Beginning in 2015, A320 ferry flights between Hamburg and Toulouse will be used to continuously transmit the aircraft's predicted trajectory information to the ground in real air traffic situations. Known as "Extended Projected Profile" (EPP), this capability enables trajectories to be continuously synchronised between air and ground. After completion of the first phase this year using flight simulators, approximately 100 real flights will be performed and analysed throughout 2015. Technical evaluations of EPP performance and behaviour will be conducted by Eurocontrol and a final analysis report will be issued in March 2016.
Airbus ProSky to manage airspace efficiency project with SESAR partners
Airbus ProSky (APS) and its SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) partners are launching the "RISE" Project (RNP Implementation Synchronized in Europe) which aims to enhance safety, improve flight efficiency and airport accessibility. RISE will implement Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures at eight airports located in southern Europe. Led and co-financed by SJU, the project is managed by Airbus ProSky, in collaboration with four air navigation service providers (ANSPs) – DCAC, NAV Portugal, DSNA, HCAA – and three airline operators - Air France, Novair and TAP Portugal. The two year project will conduct over 160 flight trials starting in 2015, demonstrating a range of PBN procedures, such as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Approach, RNP Arrival, Visual RNAV, and RNP to Instrument Landing System (ILS) procedures. The initiative will improve airport access and enhance safety of operations by removing the 'Circle-to-Land' approaches, without having to rely on the ground navigation infrastructure, lowering the weather minima and allowing shorter tracks resulting in track miles savings and Continuous Descent operations, less fuelburn & emissions and reduced noise.
Making a waste reduction difference at Airbus
Airbus' significant efforts to help reduce waste at work were highlighted during the recent European Week for Waste Reduction. The project, funded by the LIFE+ programme of the European Commission, promotes awareness-raising actions around sustainable resources and waste management. At Airbus, the quantity of non-recycled waste has been reduced by 24.8 per cent between 2011 and 2013 as the result of projects launched across the company, while the amount of mixed municipal waste was lowered by 16.3 per cent during the same timeframe. Ongoing projects range from the improvement of titanium scrap management at Airbus' St Eloi, France industrial facility and increased metal recycling in the UK at Broughton, to carbon fibre recycling research at the Stade, Germany site and the return of cardboard packaging from the Illescas, Spain manufacturing location to its manufacturer.
'FlySmart with Airbus' EFB optimized for Windows touchscreen devices
Building on the ongoing success of the Airbus' iPad Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) solution introduced in July 2012 – known through the "FlySmart with Airbus" brand, Airbus has now also developed new Windows 8 tablet-based EFB applications which, for the first time, brings touchscreen and 'swipe' interface functionality to its EFB apps specially optimised for the latest Windows-based devices. To this end, the new FlySmart for Windows 8 will present a user interface similar to that of the FlySmart on iPad EFB, and will also adapt to the particular screen resolutions and aspect ratio proportions offered by the various Windows-based tablet screens. It will be available beginning of 2015.

Contracts are part of the business. There are several things you need to consider before you sign a contract.
What do they mean when they talk about Rights?
Many magazines who published craft projects contract the projects with a First Rights agreement. This means that the publisher has the right to publish the design with instructions for the first time, and then the copyright of the project reverts back to the creator or designer. Other times, the publisher gets an All Rights contract meaning it owns that project in many forms which can include creating kits or publishing the project digitally. Either agreement means you need to contact the publisher to inquire if you are allowed to make and sell the design. Manufacturers usually want All Rights so that they fully own a design that allows them to use the design for many purposes including adverting, blog image, and project sheets for retailers.

Heart Break and Laughter ; **** DVD
FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL (Cert 15, 106 mins, Universal Pictures UK, comedy/romance, also available to buy on DVD, pounds 19.99/Blu- ray pounds 24.99). Starring: Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Mila Kunis, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd.
TALENTED composer Peter Bretter (Segel) has always been content to stand in the shadow of his celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Bell), the beautiful and vivacious star of hit television series Crime Scene: Scene Of The Crime.
Out of the blue, Sarah dumps Peter for leather-clad British rock star Aldous Snow (Brand).
The composer is devastated and heads off to Hawaii to heal his broken heart.
Storm clouds gather when Peter learns that lovebirds Sarah and Aldous are staying in the same luxury hotel.
Refusing to move, if only because there are no other rooms available, Peter makes the best of an embarrassing situation, striking up a tender friendship with receptionist Rachel (Kunis).
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a wonderful, touching romantic comedy, buoyed by Segel's natural charm and his willingness to humiliate himself for the sake of the film (like conducting the break-up scene completely nude, despite his girlfriend's pleas that he should "put some clothes on").
As Peter, he effortlessly wins our sympathy, forlornly hoping for a reconciliation with Sarah then shying away from intimacy with the luminous Rachel for fear of being hurt again ("My heart is broken and I can't imagine dating anyone".) Bell and Kunis are appealing love interests, leaving Peter in a genuine quandary, and Brand is hilarious in a role that may as well have been written for him. Segel's writing is sweet and sentimental without being cloying, yet honest enough to admit Peter's myriad failings, which contribute to the break-up.
DVD Extras: director, producer and cast commentary, extended version of the film with director, producer and cast commentary, six deleted and extended scenes, Dracula's Lament table read, Line- ORama, A Taste Of Love featurette, gag reel, video chat raw footage, We've Got To Do Something music video, theatrical trailer.
