Royce, a mercenary, reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers -- mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members -- human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.
Rated R for strong creature violence and gore, and pervasive language.

Could you remove the cemetery photo from George Webb's page, 56753961?
I'd like to add a picture of George but the five picture limit on George's page has been reached. There is a picture of his grave on the page and some other photos. I think the best one to delete in the cemetery picture.

Thank you
Thank you for the picture of the US Cemetery in Manila where my grandmother's younger brother, Pvt. Eugene F. Server, was laid to rest when killed in WWII aboard the USS War Hawk in January 1945 after the ship was rammed by a Japanese suicide boat. I have linked him with his parents and siblings at long last.

Herbert W. Johnson
Herbert W. Johnson served on a PT Boat with Milton Rackham
and Frank McKuster. Herbert saved the life of Milton Rackham
and he has been torn with his feelings of gratitude, friendship and sadness when he found out that Herbert Johnson was killed in service. His grave number is D 1 104. I see that there was a "disposition according to next of kin." We are trying to find a birthdate and possible parentage of H.W. Johnson. I have contacted the NARA and they have told me that Herbert's Naval Records cannot be found. Just wondering if you have any contact with the Sexton of the Cemetery? Could there be any other data saved from the time of Herberts burial? He died 6 March 1944 in Mindoro.
Would appreciate any contact or help with my search.
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS are very beautiful and moving. I can almost
feel the breeze and the peace that is there. What a great sacrifice for our freedom. These men are true heroes to be honored.

I;ve been looking at extracting messages from my iPhone without any real special software (aka free)
So far I've got the messages out, extracted into a CSV file but the same stamp I'm lost on
This is the command I'm running
select message.rowid, date, handle.id, message.text from message, handle where message.handle_id=handle.rowid
In the DB table date is stored as an integer.
So is there a way to run the query but output the date as a proper time and date format?
Thanking you in advance.

Exxon has admitted - for the first time - that the climate deniers it funds are causing problems for action on climate change.
This is a first for the company which has spent, since 1998, $23 million funding the climate denial industry.
And it's official - Exxon made this statement in this year's Corporate Citizenship Report, released in time for its shareholder meeting.
The statement reads:
"in 2008 we will distcontinue contributions to several public policy interest groups whose position on climate change could divert attention from the important discussion on how the world will secure the energy required for economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner." (page 41 under "public policy research contributions."
"Could divert attention"? We award Exxon a special prize for the Understatement of the Year. The denial industry can be held responsible for the US's failure to act on climate. And Exxon has been at the heart of it for more than a decade.
So which groups is Exxon dropping? According to Reuters, gone from the funding list in 2008 are the George C Marshall Institute, the Committe for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), Frontiers of Freedom... and others.
These groups are what you might call the "engine room" of the climate denial industry.
But even Exxon's walking away from them now.
The company started dropping groups in 2006, with the Competitive Enterprise Institute being the first to go. Last year, it dumped the Heartland Institute, which organised the biggest denial conference for a long time, in New York in March and has been running a slightly ridiculous campaign against Al Gore.
The other groups were all co-sponsors of the Heartland conference which concluded, surprisingly enough, that global warming isn't happening.
We note that this announcement didn't come from the usual spokesman from Exxon, Ken Cohen, who chairs the company's funding committe, but from a new person. Clearly the new CEO Rex Tillerson is trying to shift his company from the poisoned chalice left to him by former CEO and arch denialist, Lee Raymond.
But is cutting nine groups getting the job done?
In short, no. From the 2007 Worldwide Giving Report, posted on Exxon's website on Friday, we can see that Exxon funded a total of 37 global warming denial groups, to the tune of nearly $2 million, which is pretty similar to 2006. Even cutting nine of them means the company is still funding 28 groups engaged in climate denial.
Tillerson needs to make a much wider sweep if he really wants to shake off Raymond's legacy - he has started, but we think he should apologise to the global community for the harm his company has caused.
1998 communications strategy groups finally seen off
The latest round of Exxon cuts means an end to the funding of the organisations who gathered together in 1998 to plot a communications strategy designed to foster public scepticism of climate science and undermine the Kyoto treaty.
The plan was drawn up by a small cabal of groups and companies, including Exxon, Chevron and the big energy provider, the Southern Company, and Fred Singer's outfit, SEPP. In there were also Frontiers of Freedom and the Marshall Institute, who have both enjoyed Exxon funding ever since.
The memo stated that "Victory will be achieved when:
... average citizens "understand" (recognise) uncertainties in climate science; recognition of uncertainties become part of conventional wisdom;
..."Those promoting the Kyoto Treaty on the basis of extant science appear out of touch with reality."
Well, sorry guys, while you may have achieved a certain level of climate scepticism, the IPCC's latest report is absolutely clear on the climate science - and governments are acting on it.
Will this stop the denial industry?
Well, no. We note that Walt Buchholtz, Exxon's former funding man, left the company and went to work at Heartland for a year. No doubt he helped set up Heartland's new sources of funding from other members of the business community.
There's still a ways to go, but it's a start. When companies like Exxon start questioning this lot, there's not a lot of people who will continue to support them.
Climate scientists have always amazed me and continue to do so more every day. Mainly because there are so many of them and they all have different opinions. But one characteristic is common throughout them, they can predict the future. I am not sure how they do it but it is truly magical. They can take data, often very limited in scope, quality, and quantity especially in the realm of complex climate patterns that have been changing and evolving over the past four billion years- and extrapolate it to generate the dire consequences predicted for the future. No other scientists can do this is what makes it really special. In this day and age it is definitely advantageous for your career as a scientist to perfect this skill. Although I think that climate scientists should use past lottery data to predict the winning numbers if they really need the money.

The causative role of HIV in the development of AIDS has been established by multiple lines of evidence as a subject of scientific consensus.Denialist arguments are considered to be the result of cherry-picking and misrepresentation of predominantly outdated scientific data,with the potential to endanger public health by dissuading people from using proven treatments.With the rejection of these arguments by the scientific community, AIDS denialist material is currently spread largely through the Internet.Public health researchers have investigated the human cost of AIDS denialism: independent estimates attribute 330,000 to 340,000 AIDS deaths, 171,000 HIV infections and 35,000 infant HIV infections to the South African government's former embrace of AIDS denialism.

Release date: 4/1/2013
— Campaign Begins During Parkinson's Awareness Month —
MIAMI, April 1, 2013 — Today the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) announced the launch of the Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson 's campaign, a national movement to raise awareness and empower people affected by Parkinson's to make positive choices for their health and wellbeing. The campaign launch coincides with Parkinson's Awareness Month, during April.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects one million Americans and four to six million people worldwide. As there is no cure, lack of information about the disease regarding best treatment and care can drastically impact quality of life.
"Every person with Parkinson's should know that they can help fight the impact of the disease," stated Joyce Oberdorf , NPF's President and CEO. "It is never too late to see improvements in one's daily life. This campaign brings to light the many ways that anyone can take action, and arms them with the resources they need to live their best life with Parkinson's. It speaks to the core of our mission to improve care, and improve lives."
The centerpiece of the Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson's campaign is a graphic mosaic of NPF's blue "P" ribbon for Parkinson's, made up of more than 100 unique icons. Each icon represents a means to beat Parkinson's— from yoga, to keeping a balanced diet, to staying positive and seeking out the right treatments. The graphic is being introduced as the national symbol for living well with Parkinson's disease.
An interactive webpage profiling this symbol and the goals of the campaign empowers users to learn more and share their experiences with Parkinson's. Several everyday champions from within the Parkinson's community are also featured on the page and in Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson 's posters, flyers, and web banners. Other awareness-raising activities are being rolled out on social media, including contests supporting the campaign throughout the month of April.
The campaign also marks the opening of a refreshed design for NPF's online store -- which in addition to free publications and resources, will now include apparel and merchandise available for purchase, featuring the Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson 's national symbol.
At the local level, NPF will be partnering with its Chapters to hold events and other initiatives surrounding the campaign across the country.
In launching Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson 's, NPF has strengthened its commitment to changing lives for people with Parkinson's. By focusing on empowerment activities, NPF hopes to provide everyone with Parkinson's the tools they need for a full, productive life.
Learn more about the Whatever It Takes to Beat Parkinson's campaign.
About Parkinson's Disease
Affecting an estimated one million Americans and four to six million worldwide, Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's and is the 14th leading cause of death in the United States. It is associated with a progressive loss of motor control (e.g., shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression) as well as non-motor symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety). There is no cure for PD, and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States alone.
About the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF)
Founded in 1957, the National Parkinson Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of care for people with Parkinson's disease through research, education and outreach. NPF has funded more than $172 million in care, research and support services.

Now in its third year, the redesigned Camaro is one of the most attractive vehicles to come out of the retro design craze that swept through the automotive industry in the last decade. Its taut, sleek body and muscular stance manage to evoke forty years of Camaro history yet look thoroughly modern. Unfortunately, it looks better than it performs; numb steering and a hefty curb weight mean that the Camaro is more of a Sunday cruiser than a corner carver, especially in convertible form. But Chevy hopes to put those criticisms to rest with the Camaro ZL1, which is motivated by the same supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that powers the Cadillac CTS-V but here produces 580 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. The big V-8 is mated to a six-speed manual short-throw shifter or an optional six-speed automatic. Chevy added other features that could finally make the Camaro a true performance car, such as magnetorheological dampers, the Performance Traction Management system borrowed from the Corvette ZR1, electric power steering in place of the standard hydraulic setup, and twenty-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 tires developed specifically for the ZL1. Chevy made extensive revisions to the base engine, which is now lighter and more powerful. Inside, the retro bent continues but with mixed results. The cabin has a fairly convincing look overall, but inconsistent fit and finish and somewhat clumsy ergonomics lag behind what is offered in the competition. But if you are looking for style with heritage and tons of street presence, nothing in this class does it better than the Camaro.

Which means I'll have moved everything around by next week. This room has a much higher percentage of DIY projects in it than some other spaces. We made the chandelier, a roman shade and the table. No wonder it took us forever to finish (8 months).
You guys want pictures though. The obligatory before and after.
Different, yes? Tricky to photograph too. Some details.
I'm still playing with the art/planter/lamp/bar situation on the back wall. I think I like the planters. I also like this moose, sprayed very light pink (maybe because then I could have the kids play a game called plant, plant, moose). I think the room may be taking itself a little too seriously (and I may be over thinking it) and it could use some silly. And what's sillier than a pale pink papier-mache moose?
We went with plain wax for the table finish. The liming wax didn't make enough difference to deal with the smell and mess and I didn't like any of the stains. This wax smells lovely (seriously, like oranges) and gives it a rich sheen. Finn epoxied the major knots to keep them from filling with crumbs. It wipes down fairly easily and I already have to vacuum around there regularly, especially with the sofa, so adding vacuuming the table top to the repertoire isn't terribly taxing.
Dark and dramatic (and wouldn't the moose be fun instead of the lamp?). Having the dining room done is making the kitchen look a little shabby. Some plans are afoot for that space. You can see some of what we're thinking on Pinterest. Yes, I know I have a problem.
Lovely!! "Rustic industrial (tiny) dining room" has a nice ring to it :). I love those planters on the wall, and your table looks great! (Did you ever say what you decided to do about the legs?) I really like the idea of a pink moose. We were almost the proud owners of a mounted hippo. Real, but I was going to attempt spray paint, of course it was gone before we could get to it. You also need to tell us more about your shelves as room dividers. Or will that be changed before you can ;)?
that's the perfect name for that space. love the moody gray walls! fabulous new look in here.

Offenburg and the district of Ortenau, close to the French border on the Upper Rhine, are making a major contribution to discovering answers to one of the world's most important questions – how are we to provide the energy we need in the future? Scientists and engineers here are researching and working on solutions in the area of geothermal energy and the GeoTHERM trade fair is considered the largest of its kind in Europe.
Pioneering new approaches in the area of energy + the environment also means looking under the surface. To be more precise, under the surface of the Earth. Unimaginably large quantities of energy are stored here – potentially a giant supply of virtually inexhaustible renewable energy. This energy is the left over from processes that took place as the Earth formed and from ongoing radioactive decay. Tapping this heat produces what is known as geothermal energy. Even in the ancient world, the Greeks and Romans used hot springs while deep drilling techniques pioneered in the 19th century opened the way for today's geothermal drilling. As early as 1914, geothermal energy was used to generate electricity in Tuscany, which became the site of the first geothermal power station with an output of 250 kW. Offenburg-Ortenau in the Upper Rhine Rift Valley is an ideal location for exploiting geothermal energy and designated as one of three regions in Germany with exceptional potential in this area.
The capabilities of the location are being enhanced and networked through a wide range of partnerships with renowned international institutions such as the EGEC European Geothermal Energy Council. Herrenknecht AG, a world leader in tunnel boring technology, has its headquarters here as does its subsidiary Herrenknecht Vertical, which develops deep drilling systems. Within just a few years the annual trade fair and conference event GeoTHERM in Offenburg has established itself as the largest event of its type in Europe.

HALE Launch Day Coverage
9:52 EDT, 6:52 PDT: LAUNCH! Balloon #2, carrying an SLR camera payload, FLL Team 90's payload, the LEGO Mindstorms Team's payload, Gypsy, Lil' Joe, and the "NXT" communications payload just launched from the Nevada desert! Everything looks good at launch, although conditions have gotten slightly windier... but it's going up! Next launch in perhaps 30 minutes or so.
10:41 EDT, 7:41 PDT: LAUNCH of Balloon #1, carrying LUXPAK, Brix-Catcher, Peeps-in-Space, a ride-along student payload, the National Instruments video camera payload, Reel-E, and the "Energizer" communications payload. the team has immediately departed for parts NE, as the first balloon has already reached more than 72,000' and is well downrange. The SPOT transmitters on the first balloon have cut off as designed at 40,000'; they should resume transmitting when they drop below that, Lil' Joe first (planned cut-down at 80,000' or so) and later the main balloon payloads. The first balloon can be tracked using the ham link in the above post, while the 2nd balloon has not yet come within line-of-sight of a repeater tower (but should soon).
10:54 EDT, 7:54 PDT: Lil' Joe has been commanded to be cut free from balloon #2 at an altitude of slightly above 80,000'. If the program is functioning as intended, the freefall may be as long as 80 seconds, but Lil' Joe will set it based on the time aloft. I'm not sure what the ground underneath looks like yet, I'll have to check. Balloon #1 has started reporting in via ham radio as well, already above 21,000'.
11:14 EDT, 8:14 PDT: Balloon #2 now over 99,000' in altitude, approaching expected maximums. Balloon #1 is over 40,000' and ascending. All SPOT transmitters now silenced, as expected by altitude. The next SPOT transmitter message would likely be Lil' Joe, although the timeframe is very uncertain.
11:17 EDT, 8:17 PDT: SPOT contact from Lil' Joe timestamped 8:15:50 AM. This means the SPOT has continued functioning during the descent, but since there is no altitude information there is no way of knowing if the parachute has deployed. This is as planned (or hoped for, take your pick... Can You Tell I'm Nervous?!?)
11:34 EDT, 8:34 PDT: At a timestamp of 8:25:13, the Lil' Joe SPOT transmitter sent another location update, the same location update as the one at 8:15:50 AM. This means that Lil' Joe is below 40,000' and not moving... in other words, on the ground and with a working SPOT transmitter. It seems that the free-fall payload has made it safely to the ground! Balloon #2 (the first launched) has popped and is on it's way down (I'll look up the peak height in a minute), and Balloon #1 is still going up. According to Eric, they passed within a couple miles of each other as #2 was coming down & #1 was going up, so there is at least a small chance that one payload may have photographed the other, which it would seem like is another first.
11:56 EDT, 8:56 PDT: the last report from KE7BQV was over 30 minutes ago, from an elevation of 17,000' on its way down. This is expected, as the transmitter drops below the line of sight to ham repeater stations. The implication is that Balloon #2 (the first one launched) is now on the ground, and the ground teams are heading out to retrieve it using the last known GPS position. Balloon #1 (KD7UCE) reports an altitude of almost 82,000'. Lil's Joe's SPOT coordinates show it in a flat area below 4,000', so it should be relatively easy to retrieve.
12:29 EDT, 9:29 PDT: Both Lil' Joe & the first balloon (KE7BQV) are now down, actually fairly close to each other. They're SPOT transmitters have continued to send back data that shows both payloads stationary. The second balloon (KD7UCE) has not reported in via the ham GPS system in more than 40 minutes, but it recently send back two locations via its SPOT transmitter, showing it is still in the air and moving. The elevation isn't known (the SPOT system does not transmit this), but if the SPOT unit is reporting it should be below 40,000', so it may be on its way down.
1:05 EDT, 10:05 PDT: Just got a sat-phone call from Eric - Lil' Joe has been retrieved! Well, sort of... it was located just 2000' off of a road (or what could loosely be called a road in that area), but it appears the parachute tangled with the tailfin assembly at some time (I did a quick calculation & found a higher-than-expected descent rate based on the cut-down & on-ground times, so I knew it had been a fast descent). The impact was hard enough to eject the inner mechanism straight through the bottom of the payload shell (inch+ thick blue stryofoam)... yet the SPOT was working. And so was the NXT! I'm not sure what data will be on it or what other damage it might have suffered, but it seems that it can survive a... rather high-speed... impact into the desert floor when released from 80,000' (yes, I want pictures as well)! Clearly some redesign is needed for the next time (like cutting free the tailfin altogether), but it works, and the NXT survived! The team is heading north to where the SPOT unit shows the next payload (Balloon #2), and Balloon #1 has recently reported in with two consecutive SPOT readings that show it stationary as well, so at this point all three payload strings are on the ground and reporting their location! The ground team may have some weather to cope with (and there may be clouds in a lot of the pictures), but it looks like a very good mission at this point.
2:20 EDT, 11:20 PDT: The ground team has now begin hiking up into the hills where Balloon #2 landed. I can actually see this "as it happens", because of the rather amazing survival of the Lil' Joe SPOT unit; the team is carrying this unit with them, and so it shows up on the map along with the other payload locations. Balloon #2 is located only a couple miles from where Lil' Joe landed, only about a mile from the road (although I've been advised that calling this a "road" is extremely generous) but apparently up some hills or terrain.
2:45 EDT, 11:45 PDT: The ground team has reached the second payload to be retrieved, Balloon #2, in some more interesting terrain as shown on the map ("canyoneering" was a phrased tossed about). They report all is well except for one payload that is missing from the payload string (I'll try to get details later, it was not a great connection, & I'm not sure which payload it was). I do know that Gypsy and the pipe framework supporting it survived, so on top of LEGO surviving incredible falls from 80,000', it can also support an active, moving payload, with the only connection being normal ABS (no glue!) exposed to -60° C or lower temperatures. Very impressive! More details when I get them.
3:59 EDT, 12:59 PDT: The ground team is now hiking out to the third and final payload, Balloon #1, and should reach it shortly.
4:22 EDT, 1:22 PDT: In what I'm certain is a long day for the ground team, they have retrieved the last of the payloads: all three returned missions (Lil' Joe, Balloon #2, & Balloon #1) have landed and been recovered safely. The missing payload mentioned before seems to have been the LEGO Mindstorms team payload (no idea what happened to it at this point - Eric reports it simple "wasn't on the line" when they found the payload string). He also had some numbers to give. According to the GPS units riding in the balloon payloads, Balloon #2 (the first launched) reached a peak altitude of 99,730', while Balloon #1 (the second launched) reached just a hair lower at 99,566' - a wonderful altitude for both payload strings! Gypsy was still running when recovered (in fact, it wouldn't shut off for some reason, and had to have the batteries removed) and had noted on the LCD that it had detected free-fall and switched over to the descent imaging script. The SLR payload took 18,888 pictures (yes, I got that right) all in raw format (16 Gb of data!), and the NI video payload evidently got the entire mission, hopefully including the balloon burst. The team is now returning to home base, and will start downloading data as soon as possible. I think it's appropriate at this time to declare the first HALE mission a wonderful success (although there's certainly some unexplained issues to address still, with several different payloads).
Personally I want to give a huge thanks to Eric Wang, Jeffrey LaCombe, and their entire team for putting in an amazing amount of work on this, from start to absolute finish (& they're still not done - drive safe, ground team!), as well as the sponsors for HALE, including LEGO, Energizer, National Instruments, The University of Nevada-Reno, and the Nevada Space Grant. Thanks for an amazing opportunity... and now to dig through the data!

If you check the findme site, you also have the option to "track" the signal, which will display all the positions recorded (not just the last one). You can see how at times it is rising fairly straight up, but at other times the horizontal component (wind) is strong.

mindstormskid: I wish it was going to be up, but it seems to be a problem with the SPOT server, not under our control. I have access through a private account, and will try to take screenshots of things (essentially, SPOT puts pins in a Google map for each received message). More soon...

Congrats to Lil Joe. longest freefall skydiving minifig? do you what the final free fall time was?
Now looking forward to gypsy's pics.
- Jul 30, 2008, 4:27:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
I don't know what the total free-fall time was, but if the datalogging functioned correctly, I should be able to determine how long it was between cut-down and 'chute deployment. As to how fast it was going after that, when the 'chute tangled, etc... that's going to be a lot harder. Heck, I'm just happy there's not a crater :)
- Jul 30, 2008, 4:45:00 AM
- David Levy said...
It would be interesting to know how long of a freefall the fixed payloads had experienced. Given that the balloon burst took place at about 100k feet, you would figure that the parachute would have no effect until the payloads descended to a point with enough atmosphere.

Well we do have an accelerometer on board of REEL-E with which we hope to get exactly that info ;)
- Jul 30, 2008, 6:46:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
David: the problem then becomes "what do you call 'free-fall'?". Even near the peak with no parachute there are some aerodynamic forces, so even there a payload is not accelerating downwards at 9.81 m/s^2... but very very close. And most people consider a skydiver in 'free-fall' even at terminal velocity, when they are not accelerating at all. This isn't a minor point - there are people that consider Joe Kittinger's record-breaking skydive "not a free-fall" because it used a small drogue parachute for stabilization during the "free fall" phase.
The good news is that the payloads have GPS tracking, so you can get a reasonable estimate of the position (altitude) at a given time... and from that back out to get the velocity & acceleration as a function of time. We just need to wait for the data.
- Jul 30, 2008, 6:55:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
juxi: Eric also told me that the tether portion of your payload (the part that the payload should drop repeatedly) was still there when the picked it up, so while I don't know what data you got (& can't *wait* to find out), I know at least mechanically it seems your payload came through.
- Jul 30, 2008, 7:37:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
I'll throw in a last comment here. It seems Lil' Joe dropped 80,000' in something like 23 minutes (maybe as short as 13 minutes). Given the mission length (one hour from launch to cut-down), free-fall should have been somewhere between 40 and 70 seconds, leading to a deployment altitude of as high as 54,400' (at a speed of 870 mph, almost certainly an overestimate). That implies (finally!) an average descent velocity at the end of something between about 30 to 50 mph.
And the NXT survived?!?
- Jul 30, 2008, 12:13:00 PM
That was so exciting to read, Brian, thanks for writing it up!! WOOHOO! Go NXT!

If you didn't catch that.. Brian holds the world record for the longest NXT freefall ( I'm hearing now - 80 seconds! )

Filner's flawed take on bidding process
To illustrate the pitfalls of managed competition, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has repeatedly cited the devastating effects the competitive bidding process has had on fleet services, the city division in charge of maintaining 4,000 vehicles including fire engines, garbage trucks and patrol cars.
On at least three occasions, Filner has described a Nov. 27 visit he made to see the mechanics in fleet services. Each time he said the division had its workforce slashed through managed competition and that long lines of broken-down vehicles have resulted, forcing employees to arrive to work early to do the repairs on their own time. He's touted it as an example of how "we have cut the level of service so drastically as to cause us problems."
The basic premise of his story — that cuts made through managed competition have decimated fleet services — is untrue. The city has yet to implement the proposed changes, according to internal memos and public testimony from two members of the mayor's staff.
Filner didn't respond to requests for comment on Wednesday and Thursday.
Managed competition, which allows private contractors to bid against city employees to provide certain services, has been a hotly contested issue since city voters approved the process in 2006. To date, five competitions saw city workers triumph over private bidders for a combined projected annual savings of $12.2 million, but only two — publishing services and street sweeping — have been implemented. The others, including fleet services, await action from Filner.
City workers won the fleet services bidding process over two private competitors in October 2011 by proposing to eliminate 80 of 249 positions and slashing vehicle maintenance costs by $4.2 million annually from a $51 million operating budget. Former Mayor Jerry Sanders updated the City Council in mid-November on the status of various competitions, noting the changes for fleet services hadn't been made yet "pending procurements for outsourced services that were part of employee proposal."
Filner, who took office Dec. 3, immediately halted all progress on managed competition saying he wanted to review the program's results before deciding whether to proceed. He then asked City Auditor Eduardo Luna in a Jan. 16 letter to conduct a performance audit of the awarded fleet services contract before it's implemented because it "has the potential to result in inadequate resources being dedicated to maintaining the city's fleet, possibly threatening public safety and the supposed savings from managed competition."
Two members of Filner's staff — City Council liaison Francisco Estrada and Financial Management Director Mark Leonard — also told the City Council that the changes in fleet services hadn't been implemented pending the audit during a Jan. 28 hearing.
That hasn't stopped Filner from repeating his story about managed competition and fleet services as recently as Jan. 31. He told the San Diego Press Club that managed competition is "somewhat of a fraud in terms of cost savings" and then cited fleet services as an example.
"I went up to where they're doing it," Filner said. "There was 20 trucks. You can go up there now. There were 20 trash trucks lined up in what they call a red tag line, which means you got to do'em now otherwise they can't go out. They got a couple guys. They reduced 40 percent in their employees. So they have two or three guys now trying to repair 20 trucks. They cannot do it. They get there three hours early on their own time to try to do it. They can't keep up with it. It's costing us money."

Nike engineer Tobie Hatfield pioneers the future
While most people whip up amazing meals in the kitchen, former Wildcat pole vaulter Tobie Hatfield ('87) cooks up visionary footwear in the Nike Innovation Kitchen, a think tank that produces some of the sports world's greatest products and technologies.
Tobie Hatfield has helped numerous Olympians and top athletes go faster and higher, including:
- Tennis great Maria Sharapova
- NFL All Pro Troy Polamalu
- Fencing star Mariel Zuganis
- Golfer Tiger Woods
- Renowned pole vaulter Stacey Dragila
- Beach volleyball stand-out Misty May-Treanor
- Olympic gold medalists Tim Mack and Tristan Gale
Nike Free creator
As a senior engineer and athlete innovation director of the Kitchen, Hatfield pioneered Nike Free, a technology designed to let feet move more naturally and freely than with traditional athletic shoes, although he's perhaps best known for creating Michael Johnson's famous gold spikes that propelled the sprinter to double gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and appeared on the cover of Time.
More recently, Hatfield turned his attention to helping athletes who compete with prosthetic limbs reach their potential.
He first became aware of the special challenges these athletes face through his friend and world-record holder Sarah Reinertsen, the first woman on a prosthetic leg to compete in the Hawaii Ironman, a 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike ride, followed by a 26.2-mile run.
Reinertsen was one of a number of athletes using the Össur Cheetah prosthetic blade.
Tackling a special challenge
"These blades are carbon fiber and really great technology," Hatfield says. "What they don't come with is traction and protection."
To add traction, Reinertsen would take a shoe, cut it up, glue layers and use duct tape to attach it to the blade, a process that took about an hour.
"I took one look at it and said, 'We can do better,'" Hatfield recalls. And the idea for the Nike Sole was born.
"Looking at the blade itself, it basically has pretty sharp edges on the side. That reminded me of a rail system, that you could slide things on and slide things off," Hatfield explains. "So we set out to devise a design that could slide on and be affixed well enough that the athletes would have confidence it would stay on.
"Once we developed the Nike Sole, people started asking, 'If you can do that for somebody running on the road and running on the trail, could you do that for somebody running on the track?'" Hatfield says.
A leap ahead
"I knew the system we designed for Sarah was not going to be adequate for someone who was going to put so much load and so much power into the track with their legs going around corners," Hatfield says. "So we devised a new Spike Pad, as we call it, that would work for anyone who wears a blade."
Reinertsen was his inspiration for tackling the problem of prosthetic blades.
"Sarah said there would be so many more amputees who would actually get out there and exercise if they had a system like that," Hatfield recalls. Now the Nike Sole and Spike Pad are available to both professional and amateur athletes who need them.
Hatfield says his own experience as an athlete and coach helps him relate to the challenges of the athletes he works with now.
ACU pole vaulter
At Abilene, he was part of four NCAA Division II Track and Field Championship teams, three as a pole vaulter and one as an assistant coach.
After graduating from ACU in 1987, he followed the footsteps of his father, who was a college coach for more than 40 years. Hatfield took a full-time coaching job for Wichita State University, but when Nike offered him a position in 1990, he set off on a new career path.
Hatfield thrives on the innovative atmosphere in the Nike Kitchen, which got its name early in the company's history after co-founder Bill Bowerman used a waffle iron filled with liquid rubber to create the first waffle sole.
"We're constantly working on new things. It's the nature of what we do," he says. "We're very passionate about how we go about it because we care. It's exciting because we know eventually we are going to be able to help people in many respects. And it's not just about making people go fast or high. It's about quality of life as well. To me that's an even bigger thing."

How Did I Get Here?
Just to backtrack a bit to the beginning of the journey now that I've got time and I'm not dashing across country.
Going back a couple of weeks, it was almost like a bad dream as I found myself heading off on a trans-continental journey that will last several months and I looked down to find myself perched on a Honda 125cc scooter with a bulky bag containing my possessions strapped on the rear seat.
What on earth was I doing that I had it so wrong? How do you ride with these little wheels? And, most importantly where's my bloody Beemer?
I looked round to see another one was following
Was it some sort of nightmare or anxiety dream? Nope, just a rather unorthodox (for me anyway) start to my trip. I'd been hosting a couple of unusual bike travellers, meet Tipi and Chae (with my friend Annie)
Tipi and Chae are from South Korea and had ridden to England on their Honda scooters- yep, folks 125cc automatic ones with those tiny wheels across 12,000 miles including the wastelands of Siberia,
They're my heroes and really nice people to boot. They arrived in time for Christmas and joined 16 of us at my parents' three bedroom house for the festivities. I don't know what they made of their time with my somewhat eccentric family, what I do know is that they blogged six pages about it on their website but as it's all in Korean I don't understand a word of it - they might well be describing the fact that their accommodation was a tent inside a barn during December ...but when they saw where the rest of us were sleeping, they said they had the best deal.
In the run up to my departure, they had come back down to Cornwall. The morning arrived that I was setting off, they offered to help me get to the train station. Their suggestion was that we ride in convoy on their scooters, they would be two up while I had my bag and then they would ride both scooters back to my house.
It worked like a dream, once I was used to being on such a different bike. I made it safely down to the train station, my shoulder was aching a bit, but then it has been a bit painful for a while. I injured it six weeks ago snowboarding when I had a fall whilst going a bit fast and heard my shoulder go crunch. I carried on boarding but somehow my shoulder didn't feel right and gradually became increasingly painful. When I got to the doctor, this was how the x-ray looked.
Torn ligaments had resulted in my shoulder being a bit odd looking- that's the space showing between the bones. Damn - no more snowboarding for the final two days of the holiday followed by weeks of inactivity. I headed to the nearest bar to drown my sorrows, wearing a sling that was closely related to a strait-jacket
Six weeks later after some intensive and painful physio, I was back on two wheels and heading off to America, my shoulder had healed just in time, this, believe it or not is the healed shoulder- it still looks a bit odd in real life too, but the doctors were pleased.
I was ready to hit America- the question was... would America be ready for me?

After a tiring journey that included a pleasant interlude at the Piano Bar in O'Hare Airport. I got to Phoenix, sweltered a bit in my bike gear until I reached my friend's house.
The next morning my bike turned up from Tucson, Thelma, my R80GS who has been in exile for quite a while.
In the shade of the garage, I got straight down to work, servicing and doing the usual checks.
Everything spick and span, within 48 hours I was out on the road and not before time too
Yep folks, it was 100 degrees as I pulled out of town, the words "Mad dogs and Englishmen" ran through my head as I turned Thelma northwards and towards the promised cool of the hills.
Payson was my first stop for fuel and a bit of shade. The Harley riders looked at me a bit oddly, but I'm used to that, this time mainly due to my full bike gear, gloves and helmet. Naturally they were in T-shirts, bare-headed and looking cool. I got them to talk to me, turned out they were from Chicago, when I mentioned I was on my way there they did a double-take. They then confessed their bikes were being trucked back up there, leaving tomorrow. As I stood there sweating in the heat, I must confess to hearing a little voice in my head saying "Take Thelma, take Thelma", ahead I had almost 2000 miles to ride in the next four days and I had no idea when it was going to get cooler.
It took a strong dose of self-control to cheerily say "see you on the road", and ride out of the petrol station.
I headed towards New Mexico, it got cooler, at Low Show or was it Show Low, either name could have applied around here from what I'd seen having already been past the Wild Women Saloon, I slowed down to get a look, but thought it would be best not to stop at a saloon, I've sen enough westerns in my time.
On to Show Low where the staff in the petrol station enjoyed the sight of me searching through the fridge for something to eat, finally selecting something and then removing the chicken part out of a chicken cheeseburger and giving it to a dog before heating the rest of it in a microwave and eating it. I guess vegetarianism has yet to reach this neck of the woods.
Time was passing, as I reached the Narrows in New Mexico having regretfully realised I'd passed the only sign to Pie Town without stopping to take a photo of it...when will I learn? I ask myself.
here's some hills.
I'm heading towards Albuquerque, keen to get there before dark.
Someone stood by the side of the road and pointed at the ground as I went past.

They are just giving the "Hey I see you ride too" sign. Kind of like a version of a peace sign. Harmless unless there is junk on the road and they were pointing it out and you didn't notice.
Travel fast and safe.
Look forward to saying hello at the Overland Rally in Flagstaff.

New Mexico
so back to me passing someone who was standing by a pick up truck doing that, at first I assumed he was pointing out something on the road, so I checked, no snakes or holes, nothing there, not even a dead one of these
Then I thought he is probably just a biker himself and greeting me so I relaxed again. But my brain was still thinking about it, and finally, I suddenly thought, is my light working? I stopped the bike and checked, whoops, no headlight, the sun was setting rapidly and the light had quickly faded.
Damn, usually not too much of a problem, as I'm generally looking to stop riding and put up my tent at this point. But I had an invite and a destination tonight. Albuquerque was awaiting me.
First day on the road and to be honest, my panniers are in a state of disarray (somewhat like my life) and I am really not sure where my spare bulbs are. I'm used to automatically carrying some because in some European countries it's compulsory to have them on or in every vehicle.
I started unloading with a sigh. I was lucky, in the first pannier, there they were and even more lucky as there was a headlight bulb in the set, I had no idea if I might have used it up previously. Not forgetting, Thelma and my gear have been in storage for quite a while.
The headlight is a bit tricky to replace, I put my hand in to get the old one out, fiddled around a bit, found a loose wire and "hey presto" the lights came on, it was just the connector and not the bulb. Quickly reload my case and get back on. By the time I reached the main highway (interstate) it was dark and not a pleasant ride with the trucks roaring past and all sorts of debris on the road. I arrived in time for dinner at 9.00pm except...it wasn't 9.00pm it was 10.00pm, I felt bad, I had no idea their clocks were different from Arizona and they had waited on dinner for me.
Alon and his wife Ann made me very welcome as did their labradoodle - that dog is crazy!
Time for a chat and a catch up, I first met Alon when he was travelling on his Honda TransAlp and was in Ecuador, we also met up in Bolivia and crossed the Salar de Uyuni together, a lot of fun.
The next morning we set off, Alon was "escorting me off the premises" and setting me on the road out of town.

And trust me...Tiffany and her bike are definitely the sort that need to be "escorted off"...
Apparently, she has a certain "dodgy" look about her. But I will let her tell the story when she has some time to breath.
Got more pics of Tiffany's second visit to Iowa. Guess she can't get enough of the straight flat roads we have around here. ;)

a less common signal these days is when you meet a motorcyclist approaching in the other lane and he points at his helmet or head, it doesn't mean he thinks you're crazy.... ..usually. Older police cars had a single red rotating light on top, resembling a bubble gum machine so he is telling you that in your very near future there will be a friendly law enforcement officer, probably with a radar gun. Since a helmet resembles a bubble, etc. Don't see it used much any more.
Have fun out there, stephen

Route 66 - what kicks?
The road out of Albuquerque took me along Route 66 part of the way, with signs such as this to ensure I was singing along all the way
I know people say the Interstates are boring, but you guys have some very amusing roadside signs. I don't want to risk offending anyone by quoting some of them.
From miles away I could see this cross by the side of the road, it was huge
Having looked at my map and having learnt from past experience, Texas is BIG, I just cut through the top bit and ended up camping near the Oklahoma border ...which takes us back to the starting page of this RR where I showed the pitiful state of my tent after the pole broke.
I also had these to contend with
lots of them scuttling around outside my tent - a little reminder to always close the zip properly.
The day did improve though. At one of the rest areas I was fascinated to discover a tornado-proof room to shelter in - handily placed between the ladies and the gents' loos.
I couldn't resist taking a look, it looked like quite an ordinary room to me, with bemches around the wall to sit on and some most informative charts on the wall showing typical cloud formations of tornadoes. I studied these carefully as I don't have much experience of this type of weather.
I took photos as well, ready for easy reference in case I do run into any dodgy looking clouds.

I wasn't in Oklahome for long- apologies to those who are fans of the State, but I had a destination to reach. Into Kansas and can you believe it almost immediately a big black cloud appeared. I'll admit I'm not hugely knowledgeable about the States, but even I know that Kansas is famous for its tornadoes, my cultural reference point being The Wizard of Oz. I didn't like the look of this cloud looming ahead of me on the highway
I have to admit that in the picture it doesn't look so bad, believe me it looked worse in real life. I stopped and compared it with the pictures from the tornado shelter, decided on a scale of 1 to 10 that it was possibly a 2 and just kept riding hoping for the best.
The cloud gradually disappeared off to the east. I stoppped for a break and after a phone call to VMW in Seattle, decided to do take some action about Thelma's lack of revs and pulling power.
In the carpark of Dairy Queen I got out my tools and spare parts and proceeded to take apart the carburretor. I changed the diaphragm on it
This was me just finishing, the beauty of having a twin-engined bike, from my point of view as someone to whom mechanics does not come easily is that I always have the other side to refer to when I'm putting things back together again, making sure that everything goes back in its correct place.
The change of diaphragm didn't make much difference, Thelma will have to wait until Chicago to have it looked into properly.
Lots of people stopped by as I was working to say hello and ask where the bike is from as it has a huge yellow British registration plate.
I'd lost a bit of time, and as I passed Wichita (singing Seven Nation Army in my head) I realised I had better find a place to camp. I got a perfect spot in a field not too far from the highway, it was hilly so I was out of sight from the road, although it had been a bit dicy to ride Thelma through the long grass hiding the rocks on the slope.
I took a look at the broken tent pole, removed the offending section then re-threaded the shock cord and with some blue electrical tape managed to do a temporary repair to get the tent up.
Still not great but looking a lot better than last night.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — Sporting events have become a priority for tourism officials in Panama City Beach.
The Bay County Tourist Development Council (TDC) recognized the impact sports brings to the destination Tuesday as members discussed the best way to utilize the more than $4 million the agency received as a final economic loss settlement with BP.
The discussion left the board in agreement that "sticks and bricks" projects would be a smart way to spend the money, with sports facility improvements slated at the top of the list.
Board member Yonnie Patronis suggested the board invest in more infrastructure projects like the improvements made to Aaron Bessant Park, which included the construction of a new amphitheater.
"I strongly want to suggest taking these funds and using them for similar purposes into the future to create some more infrastructure, some more brick-and-mortar type facilities to bring people here," Patronis said. "I want to create something that is here to stay."
Patronis said the baseball fields at Frank Brown Park have kept tourists coming to the destination even when the beaches aren't pristine.
"I would like to stress that during the times of the oil spill, one of the few outlets that kept heads in beds was the ball fields," he said. "The tournaments were scheduled and they still came, they still participated, they still played."
Richard Sanders, vice president of sports marketing for the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), said the agency soon will have an updated feasibility study on area sports facilities that will help determine what is needed to maximize sporting events in the area.
TDC Director Dan Rowe said the agency also is conducting a concept study for an indoor sports complex.
"We are on the cusp of being able to do some very important activities, but we are committed to making sure it makes sense," Rowe said.
Sanders said the destination draws tournament participants in an east/west market that spans from Ocala to Houston.
"I don't care what's happening in South Florida, because they're going north and south," Sanders said. "We know where we draw from and we're good at drawing from those areas."
Sanders said he has heard whispers of other areas in the region seeking to expand sports marketing opportunities.
"Right now we're way ahead of them, but we're almost getting to the time where we need to start acting," Sanders said. "If something (is built) in our region, it's going to have an effect on us."
TDC Chairman Andy Phillips said Panama City Beach's advantage comes from the destination's ability to combine a world-class sporting event with a world-class vacation.
With construction costs and interest rates at an all-time low, Phillips said he did not want to wait too long to get projects moving.
"I don't think this is something we can wait on two or three or four years," he said. "We need to move this forward and make those decisions."

Arizona Cardinals
Beanie Wells believes his days are numbered in Arizona
As a team, the Arizona Cardinals are playing for nothing more than pride when they travel to division rival San Francisco this week.
Individually, however, several may be playing for jobs.
"I'm auditioning for a job somewhere else," Beanie Wells said Monday.
The former first-round pick believes his days are numbered in the desert.
"Without a doubt," said Wells. "It's inevitable."
Wells' fate may have been sealed after he put the ball on the ground early in the first quarter of Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Chicago Bears. The fumble was recovered by Zack Bowman and returned for a touchdown.
"I ran into Ryan (Lindley)," he said after reviewing the play on film. "I was trying to make a cut in the air and by the time my foot got down, my front foot went forward and my right foot went backward. I just slipped all over the place. It was bad. But I still should've held onto the ball."
After the fumble, Wells was benched for most of the game's final three quarters, carrying the ball only one more time the rest of the contest.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he still has confidence in his running back but made it clear he wouldn't put up with costly turnovers.
"In the NFL, if you turn the ball over, you're not going to play," Whisenhunt said.
Wells said he disagreed with the decision to be kept on the sideline, adding he gets the sense it may be time for him and the team to part ways.
"How things have gone," he said when asked to give specifics. "Not just as of late, but just since I've been here."
Wells said there have been no "hard discussions" with the team about his future.
"It's a performance-based business," he said. "I don't know if I've done things up to our organization's standards here. Maybe it is a discussion that we'll have later on."
Wells rushed for over 1,000 yards last season, but his career has been plagued by injuries since the Cardinals made him the No. 31 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
"You never expect things to unfold the way they do," he said. "But it's a part of life. You've got to roll with the punches and adjust to them as they come."

Faculty Studies in Burling Library
Eight small studies on the basement level of Burling Library are available to Grinnell College faculty for assignment on a one-semester, two-semester, or summer basis. Needs for which these studies are an appropriate form of faculty support include substantial research projects that require heavy use of the library's collections or a place, free from interruption, in which to write. The studies are not intended to serve as supplementary faculty offices.
Assignment of the faculty studies is made by the Librarian of the College. Applications should take the form of a brief, specific letter or email stating the purpose for which the study is requested. Application deadlines are: September 1 (fall semester), December 20 (spring semester), and May 10 (summer).
The following priorities guide assignment of faculty studies: (1) Grinnell College faculty on research/sabbatical leave whose offices have been reassigned; (2) other Grinnell faculty on research/sabbatical leave; (3) Grinnell faculty not on leave who are actively engaged in a substantive research or writing project. Other considerations being equal, priority will go to applicants who have not recently had a study. The extent to which a faculty study has been used during earlier assignment(s) may also play a role in evaluating renewal requests. Studies are generally assigned for a single semester or summer, but assignments may be renewed on request depending on demand. Faculty on year-long leaves may be assigned a full academic year.
Questions and applications should be directed to Richard Fyffe, Librarian of the College.
Norms for Occupants of Faculty Studies
- Uninterrupted quiet is what is most prized by the faculty who use the carrels.
- Each faculty study has a data jack for Internet access in addition to wireless access. They do not have phone jacks. We ask you to keep your cell phone on vibrate and to minimize calls from within your study.
- We also ask you not to meet with students when you're in your study. Semi-private consultation spaces are available on Level 1 of Burling for meetings with students and others.
- Occupants of faculty studies should work with ITS on set-up and other issues having to do with computers and hardware.

I've been scratching my head for the last few hours trying to resolve an issue with a DC.
First a bit of background, I have 3 DCs, all globe catalogues, the server that is having the following problems doesn't have any of the FSMO roles, it doesn't have DHCP or DNS roles although it did a few months ago. All the other servers appear to be working fine. The domain is windows server 2008 R2.
I have the following error in my error log:
The DFS Replication service detected invalid msDFSR-Subscriber object data while polling for configuration information. Additional Information: Object DN: CN=Domain System Volume,CN=DFSR-LocalSettings,CN=**DC NAME**,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=**DOMAIN NAME**,DC=local Attribute Name: msDFSR-MemberReference Domain Controller: **DC NAME**.**DOMAIN NAME** Polling Cycle: 60 minutes
AD replication is fine, running REPADMIN /SHOWREPL * /CSV shows no errors and the last success was within the last few minutes and several tests I've done show that replication is fine.
Everything in ASDI looks ok, does anyone have an suggestions on where to look next?

According to Free People, having fun with fashion doesn't just stop with what you wear on the outside. Intimates are just as important, and sometimes even more fun, than putting together an entire outfit together. Intimates are kept for certain eyes only and can make one feel even just a tad bit sexier overall, and that is what makes it special. But it is only special if one makes it feel so. Free People takes its intimates very seriously, and especially so when it comes to booty shorts. Booty shorts provide the perfect amount of coverage, aren't too low rise or too high rise, and don't look bulky underneath your skinny jeans. We love wearing booty shorts in exciting colors like chili pepper red and neon pink, as well as in interesting textures, like frilly lace or burnout velvet. Booty shorts feel and look super luxurious, in their delicate feeling fabrics, silky sheens, knitted pattern, and scalloped trimmings. Booty shorts are more than just underwear, they are a way of life.
