Okaloosa County commissioners are set to approve six nominees to an 11-member committee to help decide how RESTORE Act money should be spent locally.
The board will begin filling the Okaloosa RESTORE Act Advisory Committee at its meeting in Crestview on Tuesday.
The nominees are:
- Thomas Gordon and Destin Mayor Sam Seevers, nominated by the Okaloosa CountyLeague of Cities.
- Gary Jarvis, nominated by the Destin Charter Boat Association and Fishermen's Cooperative.
- Jack Azzaretto, nominated by the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce.
- David Goetsch, nominated by the Niceville Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce.
- Cindy Frakes, nominated by the Okaloosa County School Board.
Read about the committee applicants. >>
Another seat will be filled by a nominee from the county's Economic Development Council.
Commissioners will select the other four members through an applications process. Two slots will go to residents at large and two will represent the areas of the environment and hospitality.
Commissioners have been fine-tuning the committee's makeup since early January.
"I think the right mixture of people had to be on it," Commissioner Wayne Harris said. "They're going to do the yeoman's work on this."
Congress enacted the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and Revived Economies Act in 2012 in response to the Deep Horizon oil spill in April 2010.
Under the RESTORE Act, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas will receive 80 percent of all the fines levied against BP for its role in the environmental disaster. The eight Northwest Florida counties directly touched by the oil spill will receive 75 percent of Florida's share.
The RESTORE Act requires that every county establish an advisory committee and distribute its funds according to specific rules set by the Treasury Department.
Okaloosa County will finalize its committee appointments in the coming months.
Residents who want to serve on the committee are encouraged to apply at www.okaloosafl.com.
Harris said he hopes to receive a lot of applications.
"The more diversity we have in the mix, the better a committee it's going to be," he said. "I believe we have some of the smartest people in the world right here in Okaloosa County. We have scientists and engineers right here."
For more information about ORAAC, call the county at 651-7105.

2 Answers from the Community
No, you can not make it smaller. The base band is a fixed length. You can increase the size by adding the small link, or the large link, or both links.
- Answered by William S from Lees Summit
Yes. When you first take it out of the box, the 8mm link is attached. There is a little tool that is included that makes switching the links really easy.

Harvie Social Justice Lecture Series
The community services baccalaureate degree program at Saint Martin's
University is an interdisciplinary major within the social science division
that prepares graduates for professional work as social workers and other
human service practitioners.
Community services graduates are qualified to make significant
contributions to the community both personally and professionally. They work
in such areas as case management, crisis intervention, public planning,
research and development counseling and police work. The program also
provides a solid background for pursuing additional education in graduate
school in social work, psychology or public administration.
The program combines classroom study and theory with extensive field
internships, which give the student an opportunity to practice what they've
learned and gain practical experience.
The internship experience provides
each student with a sound working knowledge of a variety of social service
delivery agencies, exposing the student to the problem-solving techniques of
a wide range of such agencies.
Community services interns gain relevant work experience thus reducing
the need for prolonged on-the-job training after graduation. Field
experience also provides students with a valuable experience of contributing
to their community through work in community agencies.
The community services major is offered only at the University's main

Businesses need to securely collaborate with a range of business partners. But current on-premise technologies do not lend themselves to easily share key business documents. This is driving users to adopt consumer tools to enable them to get their work done. But this leaves companies vulnerable - what many are calling the 'Dropbox Problem' What is needed is a new approach to content management that provides an easy to use secure extranet.
Alfresco is able to connect people, content, systems and processes securely on both sides of the firewall, providing hybrid ECM capabilities from behind the firewall to the cloud - and then down to mobile devices.
- Join this webinar where we will discuss:
- The issues facing users trying to work with partners
- The risks associated with consumer tools
- How a new hybrid approach can provide a secure extranet for collaboration
- A new approach that can enable new mobile businesses
- How new synchronisation tools can enable consumer like ease-of-use, but enterprise scale protection

It's that time again when we make our resolutions for the New Year in hopes of making our lives just a little bit better.
To properly ring in what promises to be an eventful 2014, I decided to make a list of LA Galaxy New Year's Resolutions. Now this list ranges from my own thoughts about what the team needs to a few other ideas on how to improve the team and MLS in the New Year.
* Build toward the future: continue to offer playing time to younger players like Jack McBean, Rafael Garcia and Greg Cochrane. One of the team's greatest successes of 2013 was that head coach Bruce Arena afforded plenty of valuable game time to players like the three aforementioned youth. With international commitments and injuries likely to cause problems yet again, the Galaxy boss should continue his policy of giving time to emerging young talent.
*Deal with change: There will be some notable absences from the LA Galaxy roster in 2013, but none will be bigger than the departures of longtime right-sided player Sean Franklin—who was selected in Stage One of the MLS Re-Entry Process by D.C. United—and Jose Villarreal who was sent on a year-long loan with Cruz Azul. Both players were frequent contributors a year ago and will need to be replaced in the coming weeks.
*Allow Juninho to receive more responsibility in the attack especially on free kick situations. The Brazilian midfielder saw his offensive impact stunted in 2013, but he'll be expected to carry more of the load next season especially on set piece opportunities.
*That being said, LA must show more resilience on defending set pieces and second ball opportunities to prevent the deficiencies that caused the club to fail last season. We've gone over this one many, many times.
*Find a new center forward to play alongside Robbie Keane to add a natural target striker to the Galaxy attack. During the club's final media availability of 2013, Arena stated that finding this type of player was priority number one for LA ahead of the next campaign and with the transfer window open; the Galaxy will have the chance to get their man. With a target presence alongside Keane, Landon Donovan could transition back to the right midfield and offer greater width to the midfield.
*Build off what was learned in 2013: Continued production from Marcelo Sarvas and Jaime Penedo. LA's two breakout stars in 2013 were Marcelo Sarvas and Jaime Penedo who became regular members of the Galaxy starting XI by season's end, but production must continue to progress into 2014. For Sarvas, he'll likely need cede some of his offensive responsibilities to his midfield partner Juninho and contain his physical exuberance that caused him to lead MLS in fouls committed last year. Meanwhile, Penedo must continue to progress as a goalkeeper and cut down on mistakes that led to goals down the stretch.
*More professional growth from Gyasi Zardes and Robbie Rogers. The two attackers experienced inconsistent seasons in 2013, but the New Year brings greater expectations for both to provide reliable contributions for LA. If the pair can develop into offensive weapons, LA may have an added attacking dimension—particularly on the flanks— that was sorely lacking last season.
*Be more successful: Make a strong run in the U.S. Open Cup. The LA Galaxy have gone out in the third round in the U.S. Open Cup to the Carolina RailHawks each of the last two years, but with no CONCACAF Champions League waiting for them in the fall, a long run in the Open Cup should be beneficial for the team to provide minutes to their entire roster. Also, winning the USOC will help place the team back into the CCL for the 2015-16 tournament.
*Continue see the LA Galaxy Academy grow and produce players who could become valuable members of the first team in the future. LA Academy forawrd Haji Wright garnered a lot of the headlines toward the end of the year, but LA's academy teams are continuing to show promise in the form of players like Adonis Amaya, Jaime Villarreal and many others.
*Good health to Robbie Keane who is recovering from surgery on both of his Achilles as he looks to get ready for the preseason. The Galaxy are hoping to have their captain back to full health by the start of preseason, but what is most important is having him fit and ready for the start of the season and the all-important CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal against Club Tijuana in March.
*Travel More: Get off to a strong start against Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal and keep dreams of the FIFA Club World Cup alive. The LA Galaxy's quest for continental glory begins in March as they host the first leg of the CCL quarterfinals against Club Tijuana. With a victory at home, the Galaxy will be in strong standing as they look to advance past Xolos and reach the CCL semifinals for a second consecutive year in front of a hostile crowd at Estadio Calliente.
*Prosperity for Omar Gonzalez and Landon Donovan as they look to make their World Cup dream come true. Both Galaxy Designated Players appear to be strong candidates to make U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but both will need to stay healthy and in form to ensure a place on the plane to Brazil. If they're able to reach Brazil, the pair is likely to be in Klinsmann's starting XI and can expect to be major contributors as the U.S. hopes to advance from Group G over the likes of Ghana, Portugal and Germany. Here's hoping for more moments like this one from four years ago.
*New ventures for the coming year: New MLS Television deals. Southern California is spoiled with the great Galaxy coverage on the Time Warner SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes, but in 2014, MLS will look to negotiate their new national television deals which will play a major role in the league's growth going forward. More financial resources from national television partners can only help grow the league which hopes to be among the world's best during the next decade.
*Continue to foster a connection with the readers of this blog and all content on LAGalaxy.com. What truly makes my job worthwhile is interacting with all of those that enjoy my work on the LA Galaxy Insider Blog and LAGalaxy.com, and in 2014, I hope to have greater interaction with you the readers so that we can place the type of content that you're looking for on this space.
Happy New Year.
CARSON, Calif. – Club Tijuana received a little tune-up for their upcoming Liga MX campaign and their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal against the LA Galaxy in March with a 3-3 draw against Club America at StubHub Center on Saturday.
America jumped out to an early two goal lead in the opening half an hour with goals by Luis Rey in the seventh minute and Raul Jimenez in the 30th minute, each exposing lax defending on Tijuana's part. In the 52nd minute, Jimenez completed his brace by finishing off a penalty kick.
Tijuana earned their own penalty just five minutes later as Cristian Pellerano finished from the spot to spark a Xolos rally. Xolos cut America's lead to just one in the 62nd off yet another finish by Pellerano in an impressive build-up sequence that was sparked by ex-LA Galaxy Academy attacker Paul Arriola. In the 82nd minute, another former Galaxy member Herculez Gomez fired a low cross through the penalty area to a waiting Juan Hernandez who tapped in the equalizer.
"It was pretty interesting [experience to play at StubHub Center], there was a lot of nerves and excitement," Arriola told LAGalaxy.com. "This time though, it wasn't to play the Galaxy. It was just a friendly. I'm waiting for March."
Xolos open the Clausura tournament on Jan. 4 against Atlas in Guadalajara before returning back home to Estadio Caliente to host America in the home opener on Jan. 10.
Images of the match are on the StubHub Center Facebook page:

Robbie Keane enjoyed an impressive year as he finished as one of the league's MVP finalists with 16 goals and 11 assist and our friends at KICKTV compiled this impressive set of highlights of Keane's goals and assists from 2013.
After undergoing surgery in the offseason, Keane has been active in Ireland by visiting sick children and even visiting his former school.
View Keane's goals below.
The LA Galaxy announced their first match of their 2014 preseason schedule on Monday as they will face Armenian champions FC Shirak at StubHub Center on Feb. 8 at 6 pm.
Shirak are currently in second place in the Armenian Premier League and are led by Ivorian midfielder Serge Debl who is currently tied for the APL lead in goals with nine tallies. The club from Gyumri, Armenia -- the second largest city in the Eurasian country -- have won the APL three times, the Armenian Cup once and the Armenian SuperCup four times. The preseason match is the first time that the Galaxy will host a club from the Armenian Premier League.
LA are expected to open the preseason in mid-to-late January and the match is undoubtedly the first in preseason slate that will be designed to prepare the Galaxy for the start of the 2014 MLS regular season and their 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal match against Club Tijuana.
Tickets for the match will go on sale on Jan. 14 at lagalaxy.com or by calling 1-877-3GALAXY.

Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Deep inside, trash and counting on you from the top of my head. But mostly deep inside, I can find lines in almost all songs that i can deeply relate to. I think that's why i'm so into korn i feel its the only thing that really gets' who i am. In real life i feel like im just being who everyone arounds expects never what i want to be infact don;t even know who i really am if was allowed to think of just what i want
Deep Inside, It can hide! Feeling so lost and betrayed, why does this happen to me everytime, Stuck in this place, where I can't escape Screaming and clawing from deep inside. Why won't it fade? Outside I had to lie; "I'm ok'.....
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
The one song that describes me is Shoots and Ladders. Its a little silly, innocent and dark. That is me almost to a T.
Does it make me bad??

To end up this way.
Feeling like I'm god.
Feeling there's no way.
No Way - Issues
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Probably "No One's There"
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
ive had many relationships where the song 'counting on me' seems perfect for lol
in the sea of life, your just a minnow,
you live your life, insecure,
i feel the pain, of your needles,
as they shit, into my brain..
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Maybe "Alone I break" or "Tearjerker" but all KoRn songs relate to me and each one of them contain a sentence that make me think : "hey, it sounds like me !"
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
I would have to say Coming Undone,
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Certainly Let the Guilt go & Predictable. I think Somebody Someone, Clown and Alive are pretty close to me :)
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Somebody someone and my wall. Although if I could have my own theme it would probably be A.D.I.D.A.S, lol
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Deep inside, Alone I break, Somebody Someone, Thoughtless, Clown, Oildale, Did my time, Dirty, Falling away from me, Tearjerker..
puhh..i think i can identify with so many songs from koRn. : )
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
A ton of songs I relate too, here is a few:
Bottled Up Inside,
"I'll take this time, to let out what's inside! Cuz I will break! Sometimes I wish you'd die! Full of sorrow, you raped and stole my pride! And all this hate, is bottled up inside!"
Did My Time"
"Realized I can never win. Sometimes feel like I have failed! Inside, where do I begin. My mind is laughing at me!"
"I hurt so bad inside! I wish you could see the world through my eyes! Each day is the same, I just want to laugh again!"
Throw Me Away:
"Flesh wound, flesh wound! With medication it will fade! Should I assume that someone hears me when I pray! Love, full of hate! Don't you love, how I break! DON'T LET THEM THROW ME AWAY!"
My Wall:
"I put my wall up each day, you tear it down! I hide in my space! The space you found! And one of these days, I'll come unbound! The feelings I hate, will finally drown!"
Falling Away From Me:
"Hey, I'm feeling tired! My time is gone today! I flirt with suicide. Sometimes that's ok! Do what others say! I'm here standing hollow! Falling away from me, falling away from me!"
"I can't stand the sight of you! I can't stand what you put me through! Your life's a lie, that you all hide! Is it that terrible being you inside! I can't stand, oh, the thought of you! I can't stand all the things you do! What do you try to justify, you were just too scared to be you inside!"
"Life sometimes pisses me off, it's never a good trip for me! Every time I reach for love, it's taken away!"
Coming Undone:
"Choke, choke again; I thought my demons were my friends! Getting me in the end, they're out to get me! Since I was young I've tasted sorrow on my tongue! And this sweet sugar gun does not protect me!"
and a fuck ton of others! KoRn are like therapy for me, don't know what I'd do without them! \nn/
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Like CDU, I am going to say "No One's There, because I feel like so many people are fu**in with my mind. So much mental fornication! However, "Shoots and Ladders" runs a close second, because as a woman of a certain age, my childhood was filled with fairytales, frequently violet ones from the Brothers Grimm, as well as others through The Blue Fairy Book (wwwhich I still have) and "East of the Sun, West of the Moon", which was donated to a local library, along with Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Porno Creep.
All I wanna do...is kill you
RE: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Literally almost jumped off a bridge in '07 because I felt like dying rather than dealing with problems frm this sickness I had, I ended up breaking down to my knees crying right b4 I got to the bridge, went back home and decided to fight...so it was like I died and now I'm 'Alive' \,,/ \,,/
...When My Brain's Tickin' Like Ah Bomb,, Guess Tha Black Dawgs Have Come Again 2 Get Me||
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Probably most, but I'll mention "Evolution". That's exactly how I feel.
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
Clown and Thoughtless cause that`s the way stupid teenagers, like me, think ;)
Re: Which Korn song descrbes you?
"It's on!" is probably the one that describes me the most. It's really just one line. "Angels stabbing me inside" reminds me of my past struggles with religion. It tormented my life for so long but once I let it go, I could finally be at piece with myself and live the life I want to live even though I do wish I could see my lost loved ones at a later time but I don't think that is in the cards. "It's on!" has been my favorite song of all time since the day I heard it back when FTL came out. It is just absolute magic to my ears.

With the fifth-gen Camaro making its debut in the spring of 2009, the aftermarket was completely taken by surprise by the enthusiasm of the new breed of Camaro owners who were instantly willing to rip off many of the stock components in favor of bolt-on performance upgrades. Early on, it was obvious that the typical day-two wheel, tire, and exhaust upgrades would be first to happen. And that was the case, but what took most everyone by surprise was the fact that many new Camaro owners didn't hesitate to bolt on superchargers before the ink on the title had dried. That's a good thing, 'cause those who had dreams of turning the portly late-model hot rod into a serious performer were dealing with a major weight disadvantage, but the hardcore Camaro enthusiasts were up to the challenge and willing to attack with a vengeance. In stock form, the automatic trans car comes in at a little over 3,900 pounds. Add on a supercharger and we're talking two tons of fun. Sure, with a blower the car feels quite a bit lighter, but it's still a heifer compared to its lighter, more nimble rivals in the staging lanes.
It was going to take a lot more than a "minor" weight disadvantage to keep Francis Johns away from the Camaro. "I was looking at the fifth-gen Camaro as an eye-catching hot rod that would allow me to build a 10-second, reliable street car," says Francis. The week he took delivery of his Camaro was probably the most memorable seven days of his life. Besides purchasing the Camaro in August of 2009, he opened up FJ Performance in Export, Pennsylvania, to showcase what his shop was all about, and he celebrated his 23rd birthday-a busy week, indeed.
At that time there wasn't as many aftermarket parts available for the fifth-gen like there are today, so he was commissioned to prototype parts for quite a few companies. This worked out great for Francis as it kept his shop on the forefront of the late-model Camaro scene; having these new parts debut on his Camaro didn't hurt, either.
Being a drag guy, Francis first ran the car in stock form, and all the way up to where it is today. "We started out running low 13s in the quarter-mile, and got into the high 12s with just bolt-ons," says Francis. "Once we installed the Magnacharger 2300 kit, it propelled the car to 12-second e.t.'s at 120 mph on stock tires and wheels."
A few more upgrades, including a smaller 3.6-inch pulley, an AEM water/meth injection kit, and some minor weight loss incentives, resulted in 11.3-second quarter-mile times at 124 mph. At this point the car was dishing out 580 hp to the tires. Was Francis happy at this point? Almost.
There's only so much horsepower a stock Camaro drivetrain can take, so from that point on, the weak links began to cause issues. Due to the confines of space on these pages, we can't possibly list all the carnage, but there was plenty. Many fixes and a few more upgrades later advanced the car to 657 hp and 668 lb-ft of torque to the tires!
Francis and the crew at FJ Performance realized the limiting factor of the stock heads, so they dove in and bolted up a set of Precision Race Components LS3/L92 CNC heads with 0.675 lift springs. No cam specs were listed on the tech sheet; all we know is that the gang at Texas Speed Grind whittled a custom stick. The aforementioned Magnacharger is set at 7 pounds of boost, while twin 044 Bosch fuel pumps ensure the mill stays quenched during high-rpm escapades.
American Racing Headers command the spent fuel through the 2-inch primaries down to a custom X-pipe configuration finally dumping into a set of SLP Loud Mouth 3-inch mufflers.

I guess he decided to go legit.
I still don't understand how you all feel that an African American would be intimidating standing outside the polls in an African American community. Please explain.

UsedSoft's business model hinges completely on reselling used packages or legally obtained license keys for them.
This whole thing hangs on the part in the quote I've highlighted, this ruling only counts for software with a license key, AKA serial number, it doesn't count for software your "leasing" from a company. So while you could resell DS and any plugins you might have bought, it stops you from selling any content you've bought as without a license key you don't actually own it, DAZ/Rendo etc and the vender's are the owners, you just have an indefinite lease allowing you to use it.
The whole point of the EC judgement is you can sell the lease, license keys are just another form of lease/contract.
I agree with DWG. We do not lease 3D models (as an example) from DAZ. It's clearly a sale (of a licence). As Charles Russell say, the ruling applies "where that software is made available to a customer for an unlimited period for a single up front licensee fee".
Ways to avoid such a "sale" would be to "make licences time limited or only available in return for regular smaller payments" or by "making software available as a cloud service (i.e. not a licence)".

Datalogging Disney Redux
The Mindsensors newest accelerometer was mentioned here back in August: it has a user-selectable range (2.5, 3.3, 6.7, or 10.0 G) and comes in a much improved form factor. Small, flat, and protected, it was much more suited to the type of abuse I was planning than the older versions. Controlled via I2C, it proved fairly easy to use from NXT-G using the custom I2C blocks. It also mounts firmly with the blue axle pins: pinned to the side of the NXT, it never came loose (even when I ended up sitting on the NXT on one ride at over 2 G's). The increased range and high resolution of the sensor were nice pluses as well.
There are a few cautions I uncovered however. I was worried about shearing off the exposed-looking female port, although as noted it seems to have held up well (& most people would not treat their sensor this way). The increased flexibility in range (good) seems to be coupled with a slower response time (not as good), compared to the HiTechnic version: while the LEGO-certified sensor can be sampled about every 20 ms, the Mindsensors V3 seemed to take around 70 ms per reading (this may have been due in part to the way I was accessing it from NXT-G, but I used very similar routines for both sensors). For ease of use the HiTechnic NXT-G block allows access to all the sensor readings in a single operation, while the current Mindsensors NXT-G block only returns one value, requiring potentially 3 separate reads to get the data I wanted (note this was not why the sensor was slower in my tests; I got around these limitations by driving the sensor straight from the I2C level with multi-byte reads).
The results were very interesting. Rockin' Rollercoaster's initial kick-in-the-pants acceleration is "only" about 1.6 G's, but as it shoots up into the 1st loop accelerations on the rider rapidly mount to more than 4 G's, with the total accelerations topping 3 G's a couple of other times (this 4 G reading was the maximum sustained acceleration I've recorded in the park so far, for those of you who like the extremes). The initial horizontal acceleration could even be integrated to show a terminal speed of 53+ mph as it exits the launching area: one of the very few times I've been able to use pure acceleration data to get a good estimate of speed and position (0 to 53 mph in 3.2 seconds or 160 ft). The Tower of Terror is a ride that subjects you to the equivalent of a possessed elevator, shooting you up and then immediately putting you in free-fall in an unpredictable 45 second sequence. Here the data showed that peak accelerations are carefully controlled to 1.75 G's, and when it drops it really does briefly accelerate downward faster than gravity alone (not that you doubt this, as the seat is literally pulled away from your body as the elevator suddenly drops… it was "interesting" trying to keep the NXT firmly positioned on the seat with one hand while my body was thrown up against the insubstantial-seeming lap belt). There are also periods when the ride acceleration is carefully controlled so that you are "falling", but not as fast as gravity would have you – I didn't actually notice these at the time. Test Track (a ride in a computer-controlled car) subjects you to at least 2 G's of acceleration in the high-speed exterior banks, with many of the turns, banks, and drops easily seen in the data. Expedition Everest, which I'd previously logged as "at least" 2.5 G's, showed it's extremes with the new sensor at almost 3.8 G's at the bottom of the biggest drop (and several others breaking 2.9 G's). I even datalogged Splash Mt again, Goofy's Barnstormer (a "junior coaster"), and one of my favorites, the Spinning Teacups. With a strong hand and a stronger stomach, I could easily crank the hand-powered teacup around at perhaps 40 RPM, experiencing almost 1.5 G's in the tiny ride (and nearly making some of my passengers a little sick… hey, sometime one has to sacrifice in the name of science).
For the full range of results, as annotated graphs, please look at my Brickshelf folder (after moderation). All the newest data has been labeled with the prefix "DLD" (for DataLoggingDisney, the name of the program I used to to this):
Datalogging Folder on Brickshelf (after moderation)
For anyone curious as to how bulky or awkward the NXT is for datalogging, here's a picture of the setup I took - the entire thing will fit in my pocket. There are actually four sensors: two for acceleration, one for pressure (to determine elevation if I wanted), and a touch sensor that can be used as a fourth "button" to label certain points in the datastream. Over the front is a flip-down button guard, to keep me from accidentally stopping the program or turning off the NXT during a violent ride. I'd love to see some others do this sort of thing - as many of you now have the technology to do this literally sitting in your house, and as an educational opportunity is is almost unmatched (I'll be happy to sent a copy of the program and instructions for those interested). That's actually about all the big acceleration rides at Disney. I guess I'll have to start hitting Cedar Point and some of the Six Flags establishments now ☺.

i was thinkin' to build a similar construction to measure accelerations in a simple car ride.
i could check what kinda driver is in the seat...
mayby i could post the results in a guestblog soon...

Brian/Mr. Davis/Master, come to the UK! Do Alton Towers. The rides there are way better than Disney. They have Oblivion, the first vertical drop ride in the world (man I'd love to see the graph for that!), Rita: Queen of Speed, which accelerates from 0-100km in 4 seconds and other cool ones. Please do it! Oh yeah, thanks for doing it again! 10Gs? Pretty strong.
- Nov 11, 2008, 12:00:00 AM
Sorry, that last comment didn't make much sense. I meant to say thanks for taking the sensor array to Disney again, and that the Mindsensors sensor was pretty strong.

pe-ads, I'd love to take this set-up to the UK... or anywhere/everywhere else for that matter! Yep, there are a *lot* of other options for this sort of thing. But (as much as I'd like to) I can't currently run around doing this everywhere. However... our readership can. For anybody that has an NXT (likely, most folks reading this blog) and can afford an acceleration sensor ($40 US maybe), this sort of analysis can be done *all over the world*. I can't do it alone... but I'm more than happy to supply ideas, programs, and know-how (thus why posted).
So, who's NeXT?

Hmmm, thanks, Brian/Mr. Davis/Grand Master of All Things NXT. I was only kidding in my comment! I am hoping to go to Alton Towers again sometime next year (probably Summer), but I'm not sure I could spare £20-30 (what is the exchange rate now?). Also, I'm not sure my programming is good enough yet :P ! I'll think about it...

Ah, as to programming... well, I already developed the program, and would be glad to share it (as well as how to deal with the resulting datafiles). All it takes now is somebody with a sensor (either the Mindsensors or the Hitechnic one) and the opportunity to use it...

N.Y. Judge OKs Trial for Sayles Werbner Clients in Arab Bank Terrorism Case
NEW YORK – A New York federal judge has ruled in favor of a group of terrorism victims represented by Sayles Werbner and firm co-founder Mark Werbner by denying a court motion filed on behalf of Arab Bank in the long-running lawsuit over cash payments made to the families of suicide bombers and other terrorists affiliated with the Palestinian group Hamas.
Sayles Werbner represents more than 50 U.S. families whose relatives have been injured or killed in terrorism bombings in Israel. The case has proceeded through the court system for nearly a decade after being filed under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act in 2004.
"Although it has been a long time coming, we're very thankful that our clients are finally going to get their day in court," says Werbner. "Terrorist acts have claimed scores of lives and injured countless innocent victims, but we're now going to prove Arab Bank responsible for essentially establishing a system that provided great financial rewards to terrorists' families when U.S. citizens were killed."
The long delay between the filing date and the upcoming trial is largely the result of Arab Bank's refusal to provide documents in discovery requests filed by Werbner and other attorneys representing the families of additional terrorism victims. Arab Bank was sanctioned for its conduct in 2010, and jurors in the upcoming trial will be allowed to infer that the bank knowingly provided financial services to designated terrorist organizations.
The latest ruling issued April 24, 2013, by Judge Nina Gershon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York clears the way for an jury trial that is expected to take place later this year in her Brooklyn courtroom. The trial, which is expected to last several months, will include testimony from victims' loved ones and evidence showing how Arab Bank helped distribute millions of dollars to HAMAS, the families of suicide bombers and other terrorists.

|Hiked up the Blueberry Ledge Trail, hot and muggy, as I climbed the mountain I would walk in and out of different temperature zones alternating between hot and muggy and cool and breezy. Stopped and hung out for a few minutes at the South Peak before heading over to Passaconaway on the Rollins Trail. It looks like there are a lot of nice campsites pretty high up on the mountain. Between the South Peak and the true Summit (I believe at the site of one of the old shelters) there was a semi temporary shelter setup. There was a heavy duty tarp strung up between two trees with some tools underneath it and what appeared to be other camping gear stashed up in a tree a couple hundred feet away. I am not sure if it is supposed to be a semi permanent low impact shelter or if it is something trail work crews had setup while they were working. I saw two trail work crews while I was hiking so I might lean towards the later explanation.

|The weather was gorgeous when I conquered this peak. The steep ledges near the top are not for the faint of heart. There are obvious holes where the rungs used to be, but they have somehow disappeared and left hikers to fend for themselves. As a rock climber I had a good time. But they are definately not easy to scramble up. Poles can help sometimes, but often just get in the way. There are some great views along the way up. I wouldn't want to attempt the ledges going down.
A word of advice for those working on your 4000s, the true summit of Whiteface is off the trail heading over to Passaconaway. The top ledge is not "it." So, if you are a stickler for the truth, keep going towards Passaconaway in order to bag the true summit.

In the 2008-09 school year, the superintendent of Santa Rosa County decided to start high schools later.
They didn't make the change because of compelling science or because the community demanded it. The change came to save money on transportation costs.
Four years later, not much has changed in the district's high schools, Gulf Breeze High School principal Jason Weeks said.
His south Santa Rosa school hasn't seen fewer tardies or a higher graduation rate. And grade-point averages and test scores didn't surge.
"I don't have any data that starting at 9:15 is better," Weeks said.
Lights are required for outdoor practices that run past 5:30 p.m. since daylight saving time kicked in, and morning traffic patterns on U.S. Highway 98 are more staggered.
They have seen some practices get moved to before school and a little less participation in extracurricular activities.
Senior Andy Creech said sometimes it's hard to get home by 8 p.m. after football or baseball practice, but since class doesn't start until after 9, it leaves time for homework in the morning when necessary.
"I don't think I could get up any earlier after a few years like this," Creech said.
The students aren't the only ones who have adjusted. The community as a whole has, Weeks said.
Places like dentist offices now stay open a little later to accommodate the schedule change.
What remains the same, he said, is that opinions are as varied now as they were before the change.
"If you ask 10 people, I think you could get 10 different answers," Weeks said.
Collegiate High students love later start
Students at Northwest Florida State College's Collegiate High School said going from a traditional high school starting at 7 a.m. to the later one was an easy adjustment.
Collegiate students are the only public high school students in Okaloosa County with a late start time.
Trystan Flegal doesn't participate in after-school activities but works from about 5 to 11 p.m. during the week without suffering in the morning.
"It's easier starting later," Flegal said.
After two years of starting school at 7 a.m. at Niceville and only a couple of months of starting her Mondays at 9:30 a.m., Madalyn Danielak would never willingly return to the old schedule.
Back in the days when she woke up at 5 a.m. in order to catch the bus, she'd skip breakfast for 15 to 20 minutes of more sleep. Now, she arrives to school after the sun is up, instead of before it rises.
"It's night and day," the recent transfer to Collegiate said. "I feel like I function better, my grades improve and my attitude improves — everything goes up."

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Doisy College Health Sciences Celebrates 'Santa SLU'
|Faculty, students and staff at the college gathered to bless a Christmas tree and pledge to assist a family in need this holiday season. Submitted photo
With the holidays upon us, Doisy College of Health Sciences has kicked off its season of giving with Santa SLU, the college's long standing tradition where faculty, students and staff gather around to bless a Christmas tree and help a family in need during the holidays.
Ornaments have been hung on the Christmas tree representing a wish for children and adults who need assistance in the St. Louis area. Those who take an ornament are asked to purchase the wished gift and return it by Dec. 9, so that Campus Ministry can deliver the gifts to the family before holiday break.
"Reindeers," played by dogs of faculty, staff and students from the college, have also become a tradition for the event. Santa Blue, as he is referred to, made an appearance this year by wearing a blue suit to represent Saint Louis University and spent the entire morning spreading cheer to children who came to see him.
Fresh Gatherings Café provided food and student volunteers helped with organizing the event. It was a wonderful celebration and a great way to give back to others during the holiday season.
This year, the college is helping a family with nine children. Gifts range from toy cars to kitchen utensils for the parents.
For those who are interested in helping this year or learning more about Santa SLU, please contact Julie Wolter at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Does it work in Brazil, Sao Paulo?
- Asked by Sergio Alexandre G from São Paulo
PocketFinder Personal GPS Locator (Powered by LBT)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
The device will work in Sao Paulo as long as there is cellular connectivity in the area where the device is being used. A good rule of thumb is that if a cell phone is able to send a text message, then the device should work. The service fee for Brazil is $29.95 per month.

Oh no! The Hershey Wishes and Kisses lady is going to do a review on chocolate that isn't Hershey? Oh yes, it's true! I may have lots of love for Hershey and most things that come from Hershey (if you don't know what I am talking about, check out the About section of my blog =D), but I'll tell you a secret – my all time favorite candy is the Snickers bar. And I'm always up for trying something new, especially if it includes chocolate. As a BzzAgent, I was given a given a coupon for a free UNREAL candy bar so I could try it and share my opinions. As always, all the opinions here are completely honest, and my own.
Have you heard of UNREAL Candy? UNREAL Candy is "UNJUNKED" meaning it is free from artificial flavors, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, preservatives, and genetically modified products. And where did this idea come from?
The story behind UNREAL is pretty cool – to sum it up, a thirteen year old boy named Nicky had a fight with his Dad over some confiscated Halloween candy. His Dad said the candy was bad for him, the Nicky disagreed, but did what smart kids do these days – he went online and did some research on candy. Guess what, Dad was right! Nicky found our just how bad candy is for you – because of the unnecessary added ingredients like hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, artificial flavors, and preservatives. Check out the entire story behind UNREAL Candy HERE.
I was lucky enough to find the candy bars on sale this week at CVS – they are Buy 1 Get 1 for $0.25. It was just a deal I could not pass up – I mean that means I could try more than one of the UNREAL Candies for this blog post. This is what I bought at CVS with my coupon and the CVS sale (after the hubby ate one, on the way home from the store!):
My husband, Jon, and I both tried each of the candies. These are our thoughts on each (listed from left to right in the photo above).
UNREAL 77 – Peanut Butter Cups: I originally bought two of these, but my hubby cracked one open in the car on the way home after purchasing it, and ate them. He liked the peanut butter cups. I think the UNREAL 77 is comparable to the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I also liked this candy. I like the flavor of the chocolate, and I also like the peanut butter filling – it is creamier and less salty than Reeses. I would purchase this candy again if I found it on sale.
UNREAL 8 – Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bar: This candy bar was okay. The only thing I was on the fence about was the nougat filling. I wasn't a big fan of the texture or the flavor of the nougat. Other than that, this candy bar was pretty good. The hubby liked this candy bar.
UNREAL 41 – Candy Coated Chocolates: These candies are comparable to Mars' M&Ms. They too were okay – they reminded me more of an "off-brand" M&M than anything else. Generally, I am not an M&M eater, so I probably wouldn't buy this for myself. However, I do occasionally purchase candy for the office. If this candy came in a larger package, I would buy it for the office candy jar (that sits on my desk, of course!). The hubby was on the fence about these candies – he didn't dislike them, but it also was not one of his favorites.
UNREAL 5 – Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar: Both the hubby and I generally liked this candy bar. What I said above about the nougat holds true for this candy bar as well. Other than that, it was pretty good. In general, I wouldn't purchase this type of candy bar, so I probably would buy this one again.
Overall, I think the UNREAl – Candy Unjunked candies are pretty good. And I really like that they don't have all that added "junk" (hence the name) in them. I would recommend you try the type of UNJUNK candy that replaces your favorite candy. And as I mentioned in the beginning of the post, CVS currently has them on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 for $0.25. That's a really good deal!

I have quoted some of the bits that stuck out for me;
My point exactly that's why I added the "+" symbol at the end. Who knows maybe in 10 years I'll have 24GB RAM Then again there maybe something else invented by then.
Pocket PC's...hehehe, they may even incorporate a GeForce 4 128MB with a Pentium 5 11GHz CPU
Both quotes are from the thread "Just How Much Ram Do We Need?" Started in August 2001.
I also stumbled upon the thread "Hard Drive Size". Reminiscing back on how much HDD space we used to survive on. Most of the posters seemed to be around the 50GB-100GB mark, one lucky guy was even boasting 200GB!
I could go on and on about all the random ancient posts I was looking at but I won't. In seriousness though it really is quite amazing how far and fast computers and computing have progressed in recent years. Who knows what we will be working with 10 years from now. I for one am looking forward to finding out!
