The event organizers officially announced that the soft drink brand Orange Crush will be the main sponsor of the eighth version of CULTURE ON WHEELS, which will take place this Sunday, April 13 from 10 am to 8 pm. Tickets cost $6.00 during presale and $8.00 on the day of the event, in addition to a container of ORANGE CRUSH.
Karen Quintero, manager of the brand ORANGE CRUSH, made brief remarks to the media present to detail the company's involvement as the main sponsor.
Randy Campos, manager of the company DERTY, described this year's new skate circuit he designed and built exclusively for CULTURE ON WHEELS.
Freestyle motorcross athletes Rudy Waller and Jason Thorne shared their excitement in once again participating in this mega production and explained what they will be bringing to the event's most extreme show.
The driving force behind this event since its inception has been a passion for skateboarding, and the degree of discipline has vastly improved with every additional skate competition held at CULTURE ON WHEELS events.
Erick Quezada, coordinator of the skate competitions, confirmed that they will keep the amateur and professional categories. He also announced the first half pipe competition to take place in Panama, thanks to PTY RAMP.
Luis Milord and Edissa Yau announced other new attractions this year. Topping the list were the international shows by TEAM EMERICA AND TEAM RAZOR, the latter sponsored by Felix B. Maduro. TEAM EMERICA is composed of top professional skate athletes Leo Romero, Collin Provost, and awesome skater Andrew Reynolds, nicknamed 'The Boss'.
The Figali Convention Center square will be the stage for the rest of the new attractions, such as the motorcycle and modified car clubs of Panama that will be offering a show of their passion for other types of wheels. Another novelty this year is the participation of Parkour Panama and Freestyle Football on the grounds of the center, who will be offering demonstrations and workshops of these two sport styles.
Edisa Yau, co-organizer of the event, announced that the shows everyone enjoyed last year will be back but with new surprises, such as a bboys show, MCs alternating with graffiti artists on stage, and new fighting show by LUCHA LIFE, among other attractions.
Luis Milord, organizer of the event, had the honor of naming the official list of bands playing this year: Pollyphase, Rencilla, and Athica. Performances by the illusionist Jorge Santana and a show by Cosplay Action will be two additional highlights in the on-stage presentations scheduled for the event.
The launch of the new brand CULTURE ON WHEELS is also confirmed to take place at the event. Event souvenirs will be available for purchase at the Culture on Wheels booth inside the fairgrounds.
As every year, the fair will be open for the general public to enjoy the interactive exhibition stands of products and brands, as well as the latest additions by Ciudad Anime.
The organizers of CULTURE ON WHEELS, along with their sponsor NEW ERA, took advantage of the evening to give special recognition to two leading extreme athletes who for years have offered a show of international stature: Rudy Waller and Jason Thorne.
They confirmed that the Panamanian CULTURE ON WHEELS competition is considered the number one extreme sports event for youth in Latin America, and as such the general public, competitors, and media from various countries will be in attendance.
The press conference ended with words of appreciation for the evening's host Itzel Falconett from Power 92.1 and a small exhibition of what will be in store for the day of the event.

Jersey Shore
Guess Who! Which Jersey Shore Baby Is This? (PHOTO)
It's hard to imagine a time when the Jersey Shore cast was drinking apple juice instead of Ron-Ron juice, going on playdates instead of smush dates, and peeing in diapers instead of, well, on the streets of Seaside. We've seen a lot of the cast's baby photos, but here's a new one for you to take a crack at. Here are some hints:
- This little girl has the same brown hair now as she does in this photo, but now she often wears extensions.
- She's smiley in the photo, but she has plenty of tear-jerking arguments with her boyfriend on Jersey Shore.
Still stumped? One final hint...
- She was a sweetheart then and she's a sweetheart now.
You got it, Jersey Shore junkies! You're looking at an adorable baby Sammi!
Need a Jersey Shore fix? Catch the next new episode of The Pauly D Project on Thursday, April 26 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Only in L.A.? Roof park proposed to cover freeway in Los Angeles
By dcuff
Friday, May 14th, 2010 at 8:55 am in Uncategorized.
People in Los Angeles, the birth place of the freeway, are talking about covering a half-mile of downtown freeway with a roof and turning it into a park.
Read here for a story in the Los Angeles Times about the proposal for a roof park over part of the Hollywood Freeway at a potential cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Someone living in the Bay Area might think: Only in L.A. Does this make sense? How desperate are they for a little green amid the hard concrete city? And who is going to pay the bills for such a project? But hey, we live in the Bay Area where there's a lot more parks and open space. Economists would remind us that where there's a severe shortage of something, people will pay a lot more for it.
Besides, in a more modest program of turning concrete into green space, San Francisco is converting some areas near freeway entrances and some parking spaces into mini parks. Read here about it.
Does it make sense to try to go green with some of our parking spaces and areas near roads or highways? Share your thoughts below.

New Johnson Graduate School of Management Application Permits LinkedIn Submissions
Jul 9, 2014 | 0 comments
Applicants to Cornell University's Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management can now incorporate their LinkedIn profiles as part of the school's redesigned application.
Johnson is using LinkedIn's open platform to allow MBA applicants to pre-fill employment history, educational background and other parts of their application with information from their LinkedIn profiles. Candidates who submit information in this way are asked to grant the school access to their full LinkedIn profiles as part of the application process.
"We don't know of anyone else who is using LinkedIn in this way," Heidi Russell, operations manager for the Johnson School's admissions office, told Inside Higher Ed. (A spokesperson from LinkedIn said the company couldn't confirm whether any other colleges or universities are using the same tools in the same way.)
Using LinkedIn as part of the application process isn't mandatory, especially since some candidates come from geographic regions without access to LinkedIn, Johnson Interim Director of Admissions Ann Richards told Inside Higher Ed. Applicants who choose to manually fill in information rather than populating from LinkedIn will not be at a disadvantage, apart from the fact that the process will not be as streamlined, Richards added.
Johnson tried out the LinkedIn-enhanced feature earlier this year with its one-year MBA program at Cornell Tech in New York City. The Cornell Tech application test run helped determine that the feature could be very useful in admissions. "It was so much more enlightening," Russell told Inside Higher Ed. "It gave us so much more insight into who [the applicants] were."
Johnson has already received one LinkedIn-enhanced submission for its two-year MBA program since the new application went live on July 1st, according to the Inside Higher Ed report.

- Vps9p is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor involved in vesicle-mediated vacuolar protein transport.
- J Biol Chem. 1999; 274: 15284-91
- Display abstract
Vacuolar protein sorting (vps) mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae missort and secrete vacuolar hydrolases. The gene affected in one of these mutants, VPS21, encodes a member of the Sec4/Ypt/Rab family of small GTPases. Rab proteins play an essential role in vesicle-mediated protein transport. Using both yeast two-hybrid assays and chemical cross-linking, we have identified another VPS gene product, Vps9p, that preferentially interacts with a mutant form of Vps21p-S21N that binds GDP but not GTP. In vitro purified Vps9p was found to stimulate GDP release from Vps21p in a dose-dependent manner. Vps9p also stimulated GTP association as a result of facilitated GDP release. However, Vps9p did not stimulate guanine nucleotide exchange of GTP-bound Vps21p or GTP hydrolysis. We tested the ability of Vps9p to stimulate the intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity of Rab5, which is a mammalian sequence homologue of Vps21p, and Ypt7p, which is another yeast Rab protein involved in vacuolar protein transport. Rab5, but not Ypt7p was responsive to Vps9p, which indicates that Vps9p recognizes sequence variation among Rab proteins. We conclude that Vps9p is a novel guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is specific for Vps21p/Rab5. Since there are no obvious Vps9p sequence homologues in yeast, Vps9p may also possess unique regulatory functions required for vacuolar protein transport.

- Regulation of the oncogenic activity of BCR-ABL by a tightly bound substrate protein RIN1.
- Immunity. 1997; 6: 773-82
- Display abstract
RIN1 was originally identified by its ability to physically bind to and interfere with activated Ras in yeast. Paradoxically, RIN1 potentiates the oncogenic activity of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase in hematopoietic cells and dramatically accelerates BCR-ABL-induced leukemias in mice. RIN1 rescues BCR-ABL mutants for transformation in a manner distinguishable from the cell cycle regulators c-Myc and cyclin D1 and the Ras connector Shc. These biological effects require tyrosine phosphorylation of RIN1 and binding of RIN1 to the Abl-SH2 and SH3 domains. RIN1 is tyrosine phosphorylated and is associated with BCR-ABL in human and murine leukemic cells. RIN1 exemplifies a new class of effector molecules dependent on the concerted action of the SH3, SH2, and catalytic domains of a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase.
- Han L et al.
- Protein binding and signaling properties of RIN1 suggest a unique effector function.
- Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1997; 94: 4954-9
- Display abstract
Human RIN1 was first characterized as a RAS binding protein based on the properties of its carboxyl-terminal domain. We now show that full-length RIN1 interacts with activated RAS in mammalian cells and defines a minimum region of 434 aa required for efficient RAS binding. RIN1 interacts with the "effector domain" of RAS and employs some RAS determinants that are common to, and others that are distinct from, those required for the binding of RAF1, a known RAS effector. The same domain of RIN1 that binds RAS also interacts with 14-3-3 proteins, extending the similarity between RIN1 and other RAS effectors. When expressed in mammalian cells, the RAS binding domain of RIN1 can act as a dominant negative signal transduction blocker. The amino-terminal domain of RIN1 contains a proline-rich sequence similar to consensus Src homology 3 (SH3) binding regions. This RIN1 sequence shows preferential binding to the ABL-SH3 domain in vitro. Moreover, the amino-terminal domain of RIN1 directly associates with, and is tyrosine phosphorylated by, c-ABL. In addition, RIN1 encodes a functional SH2 domain that has the potential to activate downstream signals. These data suggest that RIN1 is able to mediate multiple signals. A differential pattern of expression and alternate splicing indicate several levels of RIN1 regulation.

- A yeast protein related to a mammalian Ras-binding protein, Vps9p, is required for localization of vacuolar proteins.
- Mol Cell Biol. 1996; 16: 2369-77
- Display abstract
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutations in vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) genes result in secretion of proteins normally localized to the vacuole. Characterization of the VPS pathway has provided considerable insight into mechanisms of protein sorting and vesicle-mediated intracellular transport. We have cloned VPS9 by complementation of the vacuolar protein sorting defect of vps9 cells, characterized its gene product, and investigated its role in vacuolar protein sorting. Cells with a vps9 disruption exhibit severe vacuolar protein sorting defects and a temperature-sensitive growth defect at 38 degrees C. Electron microscopic examination of delta vps9 cells revealed the appearance of novel reticular membrane structures as well as an accumulation of 40- to 50-nm-diameter vesicles, suggesting that Vps9p may be required for the consumption of transport vesicles containing vacuolar protein precursors. A temperature-conditional allele of vps9 was constructed and used to investigate the function of Vps9p. Immediately upon shifting of temperature-conditional vps9 cells to the nonpermissive temperature, newly synthesized carboxypeptidase Y was secreted, indicating that Vps9p function is directly required in the VPS pathway. Antibodies raised against Vps9p immunoprecipitate a rare 52-kDa protein that fractionates with cytosolic proteins following cell lysis and centrifugation. Analysis of the VPS9 DNA sequence predicts that Vps9p is related to human proteins that bind Ras and negatively regulate Ras-mediated signaling. We term the related regions of Vps9p and these Ras-binding proteins a GTPase binding homology domain and suggest that it defines a family of proteins that bind monomeric GTPases. Vps9p may bind and serve as an effector of a rab GTPase, like Vps2lp, required for vacuolar protein sorting.

- A human protein selected for interference with Ras function interacts directly with Ras and competes with Raf1.
- Mol Cell Biol. 1995; 15: 1318-23
- Display abstract
The overexpression of some human proteins can cause interference with the Ras signal transduction pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The functional block is located at the level of the effector itself, since these proteins do not suppress activating mutations further downstream in the same pathway. We now demonstrate, with in vivo and in vitro experiments, that the protein encoded by one human cDNA (clone 99) can interact directly with yeast Ras2p and with human H-Ras protein, and we have named this gene rin1 (Ras interaction/interference). The interaction between Ras and Rin1 is enhanced when Ras is bound to GTP. Rin1 is not able to interact with either an effector mutant or a dominant negative mutant of H-Ras. Thus, Rin1 displays a human H-Ras interaction profile that is the same as that seen for Raf1 and yeast adenylyl cyclase, two known effectors of Ras. Moreover, Raf1 directly competes with Rin1 for binding to H-Ras in vitro. Unlike Raf1, however, the Rin1 protein resides primarily at the plasma membrane, where H-Ras is localized. These data are consistent with Rin1 functioning in mammalian cells as an effector or regulator of H-Ras.

Got Lice?
One Quick Treatment. Done!

Day 0
A nit, the egg of the louse, is laid on the shaft of a hair. Nits that come off the hair are harmless and cannot infect a new person.
Days 7-10
Nits hatch 7-10 days from when they are laid. When a louse is first hatched it is called a nymph.
Days 9-20
The nymphs shed their outer shell (exoskeletal system) 3 times before the bug is an adult. The nymphs will very rarely leave their host's head until mature and fertilized.
Days 17-20
A female adult only needs to be fertilized 1 time and is fertile for life.
Days 18-22
The female lays her 1st eggs 1-2 days after being fertilized. She can lay 3-5 eggs twice a day for the next 14-16 days. She can lay up to 200 eggs in her lifetime. If a fertilized louse moves onto a new head, the fertilized louse may thrive and lay nits almost immediately. She may not survive the blood type of the new host and die leaving behind a few hard to detect viable nits that will hatch to thrive.
Days 32-38
The louse dies having lived 32-38 days since being laid as a nit.
Detection – It's important to know what to look for and how to find lice and/or nits
How to do a combing head check - For a more thorough search
The concern is with live adult lice for the house cleanup. After treating with The Nit Nanny Lice Solution Treatment an individual should not have any

THe worst part is that I'm a day late with no BFP. And my temp are dropping so I know AF is coming today. I don't think I'm going to make it through today.

It looks like Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier misread the judicial system in Haiti. Just days after he mysteriously returned to the country after a 25-year exile, the former Haitian dictator was arrested for corruption, theft of public funds, and human rights abuses that he allegedly committed during his vicious 15-year reign: "Two days after his return to the country he left following a brutal 15-year rule, a noisy crowd of his supporters protested outside the state prosecutor's office while he was questioned over accusations that he stole public funds and committed human rights abuses after taking over as president from his father in 1971."
Time for another article about the futility of the peace process. At Pajamas Media, David Solway is understandably pessimistic that the Palestinian Authority will agree to the conditions necessary for a successful completion of the negotiations, at least at the moment: "Peace in the Middle East is, in any sober analysis, probably and at the very least generations away from accomplishment. Peace may emerge after another thirty or fifty years of grinding exhaustion or a major outbreak of hostilities that leaves the belligerents incapable of pursuing so debilitating a struggle. And this is a best case scenario."
The media is now wondering why the media covers Palin so obsessively: "And so, to Mr. Douthat's chicken-and-egg dilemma — which came first: Ms. Palin or the media's sometimes obsessive coverage of her? — we might want to add a third actor: the audience," writes Nate Silver. He notes that a Politico poll from last month found that 59 percent of Americans have a strong opinion on Palin, and so any coverage of her is likely to elicit a lot of interest from the general public.
The American Jewish Committee will honor German Chancellor Andrea Merkel's support for Israel with its Light Unto the Nations Award at a ceremony in Berlin today: "Chancellor Merkel is a true light unto the nations," said AJC executive director David Harris. "Her outspoken support for the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the values of human freedom and human dignity are hallmarks of Chancellor Merkel's visionary political leadership." Former recipients include French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos, and Colombian President Álvaro Uribe Vélez.
Ricky Gervais's performance at last weekend's Golden Globe awards may have been panned by the mainstream media, but it's also earned him folk-hero status among conservatives. Instead of taking the predictable swipes at people like George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, Gervais turned the tables by relentlessly ridiculing the Hollywood elite in the audience: "It is an honour to be here in a room full of what I consider to be the most important people on the planet: actors. They're just better than ordinary people, aren't they?" If you haven't seen the videos of his performance yet, they're worth watching.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff16 My favorite belt! I love the classic style of this belt... So much so, when the first one I got as a Christmas present finally wore out after a couple years (I wear a badge on it every day), I didn't think twice about getting it again. I got the black one and will be getting the brown one soon. April 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SouthernGirl77 Gorgeous texture! This belt is an eye-catcher. The woven leather has a slight sheen to it and looks really nice. It lays better than some I have seen that are similar in design. I do think the thickness of it causes it to be slightly smaller in the fit when you put it on, if you are borderline or like a longer belt I would recommend going up a size. My husband loves this belt and we have ordered it in black as well. April 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by dcjohns03 Just What I Wanted! This black belt was exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased it. It is a little scary to purchase things without being able to truly see it firsthand, but this exceeded my expectations. I love the fact that it meets my casual wear needs. April 3, 2015

In my first blog on this subject I endeavored to set forth the career challenges and outlined the skills that a young musician should possess in these ever changing and highly technological times. That foundation in place, I could then "open the microphones" to a number of different voices in the form of guest bloggers invited to contribute to this series. My first writer is Lyle Davidson, the much respected and long time member of NEC's Music Theory and Music in Education faculty. I have had many discussions with Lyle, which, due to our respective schedules, always seem to happen in the parking lot. Lyle is a great thinker, completely alive to all the energy and innovations of our age. He expresses a unique point of view and one that has helped to shape my own ideas. In this blog he has written something which in many ways I consider to be profound despite its simple narrative and clear conclusions. I love that he is obviously learning with the students as well as teaching.
A brief word of explanation. Lyle mentions the "President's Council for Entrepreneurship" which is a group of kindred spirits I convened from students, alums, faculty and outside organizations including the Boston Symphony, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Royal Northern College of Music in the UK. We meet every year to discuss our progress in this field, to brainstorm new ideas and to challenge our thinking and direction. And I ADORE this group!!

NEC Sophomores discuss what contributes to success
Lyle Davidson
When I met with my Solfege 4 class on Wednesday, February 13, the students were expecting to sing through Beethoven's Symphony no. 4 and conduct selected sections of the first movement. Our typical class activity includes exercises in six clefs, transposition, and score reading. They were ready.
But I decided to change the agenda. I wanted to share with them some of the thinking that took place two days earlier at the President's Council for Entrepreneurship meeting. Rather than give them the headlines, I posed the question we had discussed: What training, skills, or experiences have been central to your personal success?
I told them how valuable the meeting had been. I described the variety of participants, pointing out that this was not simply a meeting of a single group, but included trustees, faculty, staff, and students. I described the question of success and the issue of the role of music and musicians in society today.
I asked them if they would like to consider the question of their own successes. They quietly looked at one another. I decided to push on with my agenda a little more. They continued to be a little puzzled until I pointed out that as musicians they were (and I looked at each student), indeed, successes.
"Maybe you don't think of yourself as being successful. You are in an environment where everyone around you appears to be better than you are, where your teachers are constantly — as they should be — pushing you to do more. It is difficult under these circumstances to feel successful. But . . . (I paused for dramatic effect) . . . you have applied to one of the best music schools in the world, and you were accepted, and here you are, working with the people in the environment you set your sights on! Each one of you is a success!"
I then reframed the question to focus on what they felt had made their success possible. I waited a bit before calling on a student I knew would have a thoughtful response.
"A vision," he said.
That did it. I went to the board and began writing what I heard: Vision. I put the first word on the board. If you don't have an idea of what you really want to do, you will never succeed—at anything.
"Yes, but you have to have more than just an idea, you have to feel passionate about it," said another student.
(I wrote Passion on the board).
"Yes, it has to be the most important thing in the world. It needs to inspire you," someone else commented.
Inspiration went up. These students had a lot to say.
"Without passion and inspiration, you can't really be as motivated as you have to be to be successful," another added.
Motivation was the next word.
The class was off and running. Vision had to be fueled by passion, inspiration, powerful motivation.
I offered no suggestions; one student's comments flowed into those of another. One student's observation triggered another line of thought in a classmate. I tried to keep up. I always checked to see if what I was writing captured the essence of the meaning of what was being offered. I made sure that every student had the opportunity to contribute.
"Love. Love is very important," one of the more reticent students said.
There was a giggle. Another student followed up by pointing out that love meant support and that without the support and sacrifice of friends and family it would be impossible to be here.
That brought the next response about the importance of money as a support. That brought lots of laughter.
"Money and scholarship assistance is just another form of the love and support necessary for a musician," another student pointed out.
"What about a plan? You have to have a plan," someone else added.
"Well, you have to be determined to carry it out. It takes a lot of persistence. If you don't have the determination you may give up on your plan."
"Opportunity is also important. You have to have opportunities."
One person then pointed out that you have to be open to opportunity. "Opportunities may be all around you but if you are not open to them, then you don't see them."
Another student thoughtfully raised the issue of risk, pointing out that it is so easy to fail.
"You have to be ready to fail and not give up."
Immediately another person spoke of the need for courage, while a third observed that a great deal of confidence was certainly necessary too.
"The teacher is really important. You have to have a good teacher. A good teacher supports you in all kinds of ways."
"What about practice?" another student chimed in.
There was a lull in the flow. By now everyone had spoken at least once—even the more reserved ones.
Suddenly, one of the quieter students exclaimed, "I don't think all these ideas have the same value. I think that some are more important than others." (Oh, I do love these students.)
She argued that Vision was the most important thing. Almost immediately, another student pointed out the importance of the teacher.
"Without a teacher, you can't achieve your vision by yourself."
"But practice is important too. Without practice and lots of it, it didn't matter what your vision or who your teacher was," someone else chimed in.
The class time flew by. The board was full. I thanked the class and told them how much they had given me to think about. Some of the students copied down what was on the board. A couple whipped out their smart phones and took photos.
I realized that I too could take a picture.

The millionaires spent only 10 minutes viewing Frognal House, a tea merchant's mansion in Troon, before deciding to buy it - complete with furniture and fittings.
The couple from Largs became the UK's biggest lottery winners in 2011 after winning £161m in a Euromillions draw.
Frognal has four main bedrooms overlooking grounds which include fountains, greenhouses and a market garden.
The mansion's previous owner, hotel and restaurant magnate Bill Costley, had lived there for seven years and spent £2m renovating it.
He said the Weirs had been looking at one of his commercial properties, Doonbrae House in Alloway, but found its five-acre estate too small.
He said: "They were in about 10 minutes and bought it and all the contents.
"I say it myself, but it is a very special house in a unique location and I am sure the Weirs will be very happy in it, as we were."
Last year, former STV cameraman Colin, 65 and Chris, 57, launched the Weir Charitable Trust, investing £5m to support good causes across Scotland.
They have also donated money to the SNP and Partick Thistle football club.

|Army National Guard | Air National Guard | New York Guard | Naval Militia
Camp Smith:
Links Within Page:
This brief history has been culled from a series of six articles that ran from February to July 1925 in The New York National Guardsman magazine. The author was LTC William R. Wright.
Part I - TERRAIN
The present reservation comprises nearly 2,000 acres. It stretches for about two and a half miles along the Hudson River, extending from Peekskill or Annsville Creek on the south to the Putnam County line on the North, and goes back from the river for almost two miles, touching the Albany Post Road (State Route 9) at one point. It formed the northeast corner of the great Cortlandt Manor of Colonial days.
The original camp ground consisting of the west camp and parade grounds extending to the 500 yard butts and excluding the higher ground of the Ordnance and Superintendent's houses (buildings 89 and 90), was about 150 acres of the McCoy Estate. The state initially leased 97 acres of this site in May 1882. Site improvements were commenced on 6 June 1882, with the first encampment on 1 July 1882. The site was purchased in 1885. With appropriations in 1913 and 1914 the remaining 187 acres of the McCoy farm was purchased, together with smaller parcels aggregating about 65 acres owned by Theodore Wendover and Clifford and Franklin Couch. This carried the property down to the Albany Post Road and the Annsville Road, and provided for a backstop for the present target range. In 1923 the largest addition to the terrain was made by the purchase from the Van Cortlandt Estate of some 1,485 acres, giving the state ownership of all of the hills north of the camp to include Anthony's nose.
Main historical and geographic points of interest are Anthony's Nose, Manitou Mountain, the old copper mine, the remains of Revolutionary forts and, of course, the Military Road. Anthony's Nose rises to an elevation of 900 feet and is one of the best known peaks along the river. See HISTORY OF NAME. A trail leads to its summit from the military road just north of the camp, and this trail and access is part of the Appalachian Trail which crosses the Hudson at the Bear Mountain Bridge and goes North up Route 90. Manitou Mountain, 760 feet high, from which fine views to the west and south can be had. The old copper mine was on Roa Hook opposite the Camp entrance and has probably been destroyed by mining operations, as has the remains of Fort Independence which was also on Roa Hook. The Military Road (Road A) was started in 1891 to connect Garrison (opposite West Point) and the NYS Camp. It was only constructed to slightly north of the Camp by 1897 when funds ran out. See REVOLUTIONARY WAR for forts, etc., in the area.
Part II - EARLY USAGE
1882: The first regular encampments started on 1 July 1882 with the 23rd Infantry of 428 men. The succeeding years were marked by steady improvement in training methods and increasing use of the Camp for that purpose. In 1889 a new mess hall was built, the Military Road started in 1891, the first field problem made its appearance in 1894 to be followed by more elaborate ones to include the regimental "march-out" to Lake Mohegan. This period was marked by conflicting opinions between encampments with marksmanship training, and increasingly more complex maneuvers.
1904: The Manassa maneuvers in 1904 shattered the routine of years. Maneuver training became paramount. Units were scattered for larger maneuver training to Massachusetts, Pine Camp (Fort Drum), Connecticut, and Camp Whitman (Black River - Fort Drum). Peekskill was still used occasionally by 1911 as the minutia of drill and routine following maneuvers, although it was now primarily used as a rifle range for New York City troops and for Officers and non-commissioned officers schools. It was in the old White House (removed 1923) that the council of war of commanding officers was held by Gen O'Ryan prior to the call for the Mexican Border Service.
WWI: In 1917 the 15th NY (presently the 369th) trained at Peekskill [prior to their going to WWI and subsequent glory]. The Camp was also used throughout the war by the 1st Provisional Regiment, NYG, as a post during their services on duty guarding the NYC water supply, and also by the U.S.Navy. During the reconstruction of the New York Guard after the War, and its Federal recognition as the New York National Guard, the Camp played a gradually increasing role. 1920 saw only officer and NCO schools as Regiments were federally recognized and sent to U. S. Army posts for their summer training. 1921 all of the NYC Regiments trained at Camp. 1922 through 1925 all NYNG Infantry units occupied the Camp.
POST WWI: Major improvements were made to the Camp from 1925 through the early 30's. In 1925 the target ranges were reconstructed in their present locations, the Broccy Creek Reservoir was constructed as was the present sewage plant and incinerator (buildings 65,, 64), the "new" officer's mess was constructed in 1930 (the present building # 79). In 1931 all of the trails were given names from the sectors in Belgium and Northwestern France, where the Twenty-Seventh Division made a glorious record in the fall of 1918, none of these names are known to be used today.
Part III - PRESENT USAGE
1960-70: The next major renovation of the Camp that comprises its current configuration and use occurred in the 1960's and 70's. New modern brick barracks and support facilities were constructed in 1964 (501, 506), 1965 (504, 505), 1967 (507, 503), and 1968 (508). In 1973 Baker Hall (502) was constructed to replace the old wooden Post Exchange building from the early 1920s. The USP7FO was relocated from Brooklyn to a new Warehouse (513) in 1973, and an additional building was added in 1984(514). This period continued much as before, with major Annual Training periods being done at major U. S. Army posts and the Camp primarily being used for weekend training and schools. Marksmanship training has taken on a major role here as many indoor ranges at armories were closed in the 1980s due to lead and ventilation problems.
PRESENT: Most recently the Camp has become a more permanent home for numerous activities. The Headquarters 53rd Troop Command occupied building 501 from 1995 until December 1997 when it moved to Valhalla and was replaced on-site in January 1998 by the Headquarters 1st Battalion 53rd Troop Command. The FBI, DEA and Postal are permanent tenants with daily use of the ranges for their marksmanship programs. The Peekskill Warehouse (513) is one of the main full time supply activities for the NYARNG, and full time maintenance activities are conducted at Combined Support Maintenance Shop A and Organizational Maintenance Shops 16 and 20. Recently the Empire State Military Academy, which had been training officers and NCOs since 1920, was reorganized as part of a national effort and redesignated the 106th Regimental Training Institute. The 106th RTI occupies building 48. The 199th Army Band, "The Governor's Own." has long been a presence in building 84, and Company A(-) 1st Bn 105th Infantry (light) is in building 119.
FUTURE: Ongoing work includes major reconstructions of the facility's antiquated infrastructure, such as water, sewer, and electrical distribution systems. Also in design is a new BOQ to be constructed north of 508. Camp Smith remains a valuable asset for small arms weapons training and military academy and youth training. Recently the National Guard Bureau has classified the camp as a Collective Training Area (CTA) or an official Annual Training (AT) site for Battalion sized units. Due to terrain restrictions the camp caters mainly to Light Infantry, Signal, and Maintenance units. Camp Smith is also a major testing ground in the field of simulations and high tech training.
Peekskill was the center of many military events during the War of the Revolution. It was located at the gateway of the Highlands, which guarded the water communication into the heart of New York State, and also formed part of that mountain barrier, extending to the southwest, behind which Washington so skillfully operted his little army. It was a part of Washington's "Hindenburg Line," but unlike a certain other well known Hindenburg Line, it was never broken. Driven back at times, the Americans always pushed forward again, and the close of the war found the gateway still firmly in their possession.
The main line of resistance was at first directly on the line of the Manitou. Later it was near West Point, but always the outpost line was either of Peekskill or at Verplanck's Point, a few miles south.
The forts located in the vicinity were:
Fort Lafayette, Verplanck's (Verplancke's) Point south of Peekskill on the East bank of the Hudson. British landed 22 Mar 1777 in Lents Cove near Peekskill, attacked Peekskill, encounter near Peekskill Creek. September 1777 British landed a force at Peekskill, burned barracks and stores.
Fort Independence, on Roa (or Rahway) Hook, east bank of the Hudson, oposite the entrance to Camp Smith. All trace of this fort was obiterated by the operations of a sand and gravel company in the early 20's.
Fort Lookout, between Peekskill and Canopus Creeks, east of Camp Smith. In 1925 a clump of dead trees on the hill were inside the old earthenworks.
Fort Constitution, On an east bank island opposite West Point.
Fort Stony Point, West bank of Hudson accross from Fort Lafayette. Captured by British, starting point of attack 6 October against Forts Clinton and Montgomery. Later recaptured by "Mad Anthony" Wayne.
Forts Clinton and Montgomery, on west bank of Hudson south and north respecfully of the Popoloen Creek, accross from Anthony's Nose, now directly adjacent to the Bear Mountain Bridge. British forces under Sir Henry Clinton attacked 6 Oct 1777 American forces Commanded by Generals George and James Clinton. The Americans were defeated, a desperate fight between Lake Sinnipink and the river (rear of Bear Mountain Hotel) gave the lake the name "Bloody Pond."
Fort Putnam, at West Point.
Another Fort Clinton at West Point on the Hudson.
Boom and Chain, accross the river at Fort Montgomery to Anthony's Nose, about where the Bear Mountain Bridge is now. Capture of Forts Clinton and Montgomery 6 Oct 1777 led to the abandonment of the American fleet and the British breaking through on 7 Oct 1777. The British went upriver as far as Kingston, which they burned. At this time a force was advancing from the North under General Burgoyne, to meet with the British fleet. The defeat and surrender of Burgoyne to General Gates in Saratoga on 17 Oct 1777 ended this threat. Recently a Revolutionary War gun emplacement site has been found near the base of Anthony's Nose where the boom and chain would have been anchored.
The above is only the barest outlines of the interesting history of the vicinity of Camp Smith during the Revolution. Details may be read in Bolton's or Scharf's "History of Westchester County," or Washington Irving's "Life of Washington."

Astronomy and Space Science News Highlights
The Last Shuttle Launch for Discovery
The space shuttle Discovery safely lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida today at 4:53 p.m. EST. It's on the way to the International Space Station for its 39th flight since the first launch of this orbiter in 1984. The crew members are accompanying a space station module, various spare parts and experiments, and will have the first human-like robot in space as part of the mission.
This is the last mission for space shuttle Discovery, capping a long career of safe access to space. The next launch, of space shuttle Endeavor, is scheduled for April 1. The final shuttle launch should occur in June, when Atlantis is lofted into orbit for a final space station run.
Planet Formation Caught in the Act?
Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, part of the European Southern Observatory, have been studying a
About 330 years ago a massive star exploded and sent a burst of material out through space. That remnant material, called Cassiopeia A by astronomers, is rushing out from what's left of the star — a highly dense object called a neutron star. Astronomers have been studying this neutron star for years, particularly with the Chandra X-ray Satellite. They've found that it is cooling off, which was unexpected. Two new papers by independent research teams show that this cooling is likely caused by a neutron superfluid forming in its central regions, the first direct evidence for this bizarre state of matter in the core of a neutron star.
The inset shows an artist's impression of the neutron star at the center of Cas A. The different colored layers in the cutout region show the crust (orange), the core (red), where densities are much higher, and the part of the core where the neutrons are thought to be in a superfluid state (inner red ball). The blue rays emanating from the center of the star represent the copious numbers of neutrinos — nearly massless, weakly interacting particles — that are created as the core temperature falls below a critical level and a neutron superfluid is formed, a process that began about 100 years ago as observed from Earth. These neutrinos escape from the star, taking energy with them and causing the star to cool much more rapidly.
This new research has allowed the teams to place the first observational constraints on a range of properties of superfluid material in neutron stars. The critical temperature was constrained to between one half a billion to just under a billion degrees Celsius. A wide region of the neutron star is expected to be forming a neutron superfluid as observed now, and to fully explain the rapid cooling, the protons in the neutron star must have formed a superfluid even earlier after the explosion. Because they are charged particles, the protons also form a superconductor.
Using a model that has been constrained by the Chandra observations, the future behavior of the neutron star has been predicted . The rapid cooling is expected to continue for a few decades and then it should slow down.

World of Tanks leads the free-to-play Xbox invasion
Wargaming's CEO Victor Kislyi tells us how World of Tanks is changing the face of Xbox gaming.

Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Played WoT for 2+ years on the PC - in short, if you're a casual gamer it's good fun/value...otherwise you'll go nuts from grinding or go premium if you have money. Either one is a spiral of bad decisions.
Do like me, go play War Thunder by Gajin - it's a lot more fun, better graphics etc...
Free to play my ass. Youll still have to buy XBLG to play it online, which is the entire point of the game to be played online.
Free to play 99% of the time is something I dislike because you either 1) Get a really shitty game. 2) Have to grind your ass off to get even an inch ahead. 3) It repetitive to the point of insanity. Or 4) You have to buy things with real money to get anywhere.
pff f2p games is about one thing: devs putting out less and getting more. They hope to appeal to the gamers addictive nature and pride while selling them some piece of trash game that has crap in you want to become strong which cost money. I feel victim to this scam on a moblie app called age of warring empire. I spent sooo much money on it, i'm embarrassed to even tell you how much. Anyway, after that i will never ever trust or spend money on any f2p game. Its just a recipe for disaster and a means for lazy devs with no talent to become fat lazy rich pigs.
WoT is played because there is no alternative in the genre... WG is the worst game developer I have ever seen..
For those who don't know, WoT is pure Pay-to-Win game in disguise.
Waiting for WT: Ground Forces
How much do you have to pay to become competitive?
there is no chance you will miss it hé, well just try me
Free 2 play = Grind$$$....
I don't want to play a F2P game on my console....
This game really looks fun, but fuck this free to play garbage. If this is the route Microshaft is going to be taking down the road, I'll never get an Xbox One. Leave free to play on pc games.
I hope they make World of Planes and Battleships on Xbox too.
Screw PhonyStation 4. Wargaming knows that it will brick on the download or start twerking and go down from another hack, if its on any fail Phony systems.
What an indecent company Wargaming is. I've never seen more greedy fu**ers in the gaming industry. Well maybe after EA...
They have absolutely no intention of improving a still half finished unbalanced buggy crap game. And now because Tanks (or Ground Forces) are coming to War Thunder they're like
"Comrades, we ripped off as many PC gamers as we could, lets bail now and try to ripp off some XBOX users because War Thunder will become available is PS4 as well, we can't go there. And if that fails, we will ripp off some tablet users"
I don't know about you guys, but i hate this company more than anyone else in the gaming industry. They make so much money that they could have created games 100 times better than their current crap, and yet they don't even fix the damned bugs still existing since closed beta.I think they even abandoned the two other games they were making.
Oh well, we have War Thunder now, things are good. F**K O*F Wargaming. Go to hell.
Put it on a disc to play single player. Panzer Commander was one of my fav's on PC along with Silent Hunter. These should be redone for the 360 or even the next gen.
so i can play this with the silver account?
Played the beta for this game and overall its pretty decent , full version should be fun.
Why the free promo to MS? I mean I know they need it, but it really seems contrived and at the behest of MS
the game got success from the pc crowd, not xbox....shameless xbox promo
So how much did WarGaming pay you for not mentioning War Thunder coming to the PS4?
So much angst on display here from people that probably haven't played a FTP game once.
Invasion? More like infestation.
Don't care about Xbox, I would like to see it on PS3 or PS4.
Free To Play in Xbox One wont work my friend ~ So much irony
Fuck "free"2play
I've been playing the Xbox beta for this. It's actually pretty fun. You don't really have to spend any money on it at all. It's still fun.
Keep this filth on the PC.
World of Wallets!
praise to wot
Curious about this, cant wait to play it
I don't find tank games very interesting. Give me "World of Tanks & PLANES" and then we're talking.
60 million players is very impressive tho. Good for them.
Its funny that people hate f2p since its on xbox but people love them on ps4 this is crazy
War Thunder is fun, but i found it to be less realistic imho. And its only planes right now as far as i was able to tell.
@amantia I don't know that depends on your ability to learn. I would say at least 3000 matches and spending hours on forums searching for intel on weak spots of different tanks and memorizing them. OK sure you will have to spend majority of your time playing to get somewhere especially if you want higher tier tanks, for which you will have to play with lower tier tanks or you will go bankrupt. But if being competitive is the problem you won't be able to pay and win.
@lucivar1 Bricking happens quite often I can attest to that...
@GeorgeSyll Look i played WoT since beta and even today i go one or two battles every now and than and let me tell you. The game improved A LOT since beta especially on the balance side, matchmaker disparancy improved and visibility system improved by A LOT. I mean idk if u know how bad things were in beta, but they improved and when i look back on stuff they actually DO listen to feedback, but the problem is it's not instantanious, game development takes time, when i remember about stuff ppl were complaining in beta... it's all mostly fixed now.
@cvfish Rift is the only true and real F2P game I have played before... If you have played this game and are defending it, claiming that it isn't P2W, you are either working for them... or one of the people that win (aka pay) and still under the spell:P
I'm not exactly posting all over this threat about FTP models but I've played several.
Got to say I'm not exactly overwhelmed.
@cvfish most are shit mate, there are few f2p games that don't adopt 'pay2win' models... they're angst is fully justified if somewhat blind.
@Agentbling you still have to pay for gold membership on xbox live.
@Mr_BillGates you mean like Blizzard did with Diablo 3?
@GermanBomber Keep in mind though that they only quote people who register, not necessarily pay them in various forms of microtransactions. Many people are good at playing F2P and avoid spending much money on the titles. Anyone can register and play, but how many people are purchasing items here and there? What is their total per player revenue. It might be high.. or it might not.
I'm sure their registration on Xbox will be large. But I wonder how much money they end up making. I am not inferring either way... just curious.
@TheRealBigRich They're focusing on the fact that people need Xbox Live Gold to play, either that or they're focusing on how games like Killer Instinct are F2P, but charging for key features in the game like characters.
@TheRealBigRich NO WE DONT !!!!!!
@SurlyPotato @lucivar1 Don't think he was talking about the 360.
@xxxDirtyJoexxxTRUE STORY BRO....TRUE STORY..... WoT was crap from day one, it is still crap and it will be untill it dies.
Wargaming didn't IMPROVE anything. They just FIXED some problems but very few, while breaking a whole lot other things.
I know how it was back then and i know how it is now so bother.... and DEVELOPING a game means...well developing it,making it better both in terms of graphics,physics and gameplay. WoT got no improvements in any of these aspects,ever. So, no developement.
If you think that the addition of more tanks is "developement" then you're a fool. The game is the same crap, they're just adding stuff for people to spend their money on.
Oh and i've seen companies with lower income developing and improving their games. Wargaming hasn't spent a dime in making WoT a better game.
See you in War Thunder.
@PETERAKO Yeah, to be able to play online and have access to their servers in the first place.
It wouldn't be fair if silver membership got access to it... Derp.
@n0xinab0x @Mr_BillGates Damn..burn... >.<
@GeorgeSyll @xxxDirtyJoexxx You my friend sound like a buthurt player whose favourite tank got nerfed and now, youre crying "bad" all the time.
You clearly haven't played in a while, it got improved by alot.
Balancing is an issue, and it feels more like play to win than ever :( , but saying the game didn't improve from day one is plain crying...
@PartyGavinParty @PETERAKO actually no. you will be most probably using WG's servers.
