a visitor's guide to dc & wcl airport information Reagan National Airport The Ronald W. Reagan Washington National Airport, built for the convenience of Members of Congress, is the most http://www.metwashairports.com popular airport for visitors to WCL. Proximity comes at a price; flights to and from National tend to cost more than 703-685-8000 similar flights using Dulles or BWI. The web site contains information about the airport, links to airlines, transportation to and from the airport, and a lot of other really useful information. Dulles International Located 26 miles west of Washington. As with National, the website is very helpful. Take the I-495 exit to http://www.metwashairports.com Bethesda/Baltimore, then follow the "From Interstate 495" directions provided below. Also, see Metro's website for 703-661-2700 information on using Metro to travel to and from the airport cheaply. BWI Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located approximately 40 minutes from Washington. For directions from http://www.bwiairport.com BWI to WCL, use MapQuest.com. Also, see Metro's website for information on using Metro to travel to and from the 410-859-7032 airport cheaply. Washington Flyer Offers a wide variety of transportation choices including; Airport Express Bus Service, Taxicabs, Metro/Dulles http://www.washfly.com Express Connection, Downtown Airports Terminal and SuperShuttle. 1-888-WASHFLY SuperShuttle Provides shuttle bus service between National and BWI airports and any location in the metro area. http://www.supershuttle.com 1-800-BLUEVAN MARC MARC (Maryland Rural Commuter System) operates rail service from Washington's Union station to Baltimore and http://www.mtamaryland.com BWI Airport. 800-325-RAIL Car rental If you decide to rent a car, here are the numbers for several national rental agencies: Alamo, 800-327-9633; Avis, 800-331-1212; Budget, 800-527-0700; Dollar, 800-800-4000; Hertz, 800-654-3131; National, 800-328-4567; and Thrifty, 800-367-2277. Taxi District taxis operate on a zone system, while Maryland and Virginia taxis use meters. The district government's Taxicab Fare Calculator — citizenatlas.dc.gov/atlasapps/taxifare.aspx — is a great resource. It will calculate the fare between any two locations within the district and will show you which zones through which you'll travel. If you wish to call for a cab, here are a few of the many companies that serve the area: Yellow Cab, 202-544-1212; Capitol Cab, 202-546-2400; and Barwood Taxi, 202-829-4222. to wcl by metro & wcl shuttle The Metro system is one of the best mass transit systems in the United States. It is clean, efficient, and the employees are used to helping Washington visitors. Metro's website, www.wmata.com, is tremendously useful, containing bus schedules, bus & train route maps, amenities near each station, hours of operation, escalator and elevator outages, etc. Metro's online Ride Guide at www.wmata.com provides route information from one location to another. For example, using the address of a rental property and WCL, the Ride Guide will give you up to three itineraries based on a given departure or arrival time. Finally, consider buying one of the many different types of single or multiple-day passes. If you plan to take multiple trips either by bus or rail during while apartment hunting, this option may save you a lot of money and hassle. Taking Metrorail to WCL Taking the Red Line to WCL, you'll exit at the Tenleytown/AU station. At the top of the second escalator, walk left toward the east exit and another escalator. Emerging from the metro station, walk straight ahead while looking for signs for the AU shuttle stop. This is the pickup location for the main campus. Across the street from the Hollywood Video is where the WCL Direct shuttle picks up. You should check with the driver to be sure you're on the correct bus. Please be prepared to show photo ID if asked. During the week, between 8:00 am-12:00 pm and between 4:00-8:00 p.m. the WCL Shuttle pick up every 15 minutes. Between the hours of 12:00- 4:00 pm. and 8:00 pm. - 12:00 a.m. it picks up every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour. to wcl by car From northeast of Washington (New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore) Follow Interstate 95 south to Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway. Follow I-495 west toward Silver Spring. See directions below, "From I-495 (Capital Beltway)." From south or west of Washington (Norfolk, Richmond, Charlottesville) Follow Interstate 95 north or Interstate 66 east to Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway. Follow I-495 north to exit 39. See directions below, "From I-495 (Capital Beltway)." From northwest of Washington (western Pennsylvania, western Maryland) Follow Interstate 270 south. Where I-270 divides, follow the right-hand branch toward northern Virginia (not toward Washington). Merge with Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway. See directions below, "From I-495 (Capital Beltway)." From Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) Take Exit 39 and carefully follow the signs for River Road (Maryland 190) south toward Washington.

Marine Rescue Ulladulla Unit Commander Doug Musker used both a marine smoke flare and illuminating flare to guide an ambulance rescue helicopter to land at the Ulladulla harbour car park to collect an injured fisherman this afternoon, Wednesday 30th May 2012.
marine rescue logo
The fisherman had broken two legs in an accident at the nearby wharf and gloomy late afternoon light affected visibility at the only available landing site. Local police cleared the car park and established a safety perimeter.
Commander Musker first set off an orange smoke flare to identify the location and show wind direction for the helicopter pilot, then the illuminating flare provided greater visibility.
'It was a bit of a sand storm there for a few minutes,' Commander Musker said, 'but the helicopter landed safely and the casualty was quickly transferred to the aircraft and then taken to hospital for treatment.'
'Orange and red distress signal flares are essential safety equipment on recreational and commercial vessels. This incident show how valuable they were in a land-based emergency as well.'

Hooray! Warmists Trot Out Uneven Atmospheric Heating As New Excuse
The great thing about Warmists is that they never let things like science stand in the way of defending their cult. They keep coming up with great new ways to push their dogma (except for practicing what they preach). We hear things about missing heat, that the oceans are soaking it up, that Gaia is punishing some "carbon polluting" nations, that hot is causing more snow and cold. And, right on time to witness yet another year where it is super duper cold in Alaska, Europe, and Asia with lots of snow and the Antarctic has seen record growth, we get
Uneven climate change due to atmospheric heat capacity
Much of the unevenness in warming due to climate change is a result of a variation in the atmosphere's heat capacity. The claim, made by researchers in Norway, is likely to be seen as ammunition against climate sceptics who have questioned why some parts of the world are apparently not warming.
Most scientists agree that the world is getting warmer due to anthropogenic carbon emissions. Some areas, such as the Arctic, appear to be warming faster than others. The phenomenon is temporal as well as geographical: in general, night-time temperatures have increased more than daytime temperatures. (snip)
In the atmosphere, heat capacity is dependent on the depth of the planetary boundary layer, which can be between 50 and 2,000 metres thick. Davy's group hypothesized that the observed asymmetry in global warming could be at least partially accounted for by variations in the boundary layer: regions with a shallow boundary layer would have a relatively low heat capacity, and would warm faster, while regions with a deep boundary layer would have a relatively high capacity, and warm more slowly.
Yet, while parts of America bake, big parts of Europe freeze, and have the same planetary boundary layer. Or will Warmists claim that CO2 output has changed the PBL in certain areas? Which would be dangerously close to the reality of the urban heat island effect. Because much of the depth of the PBL is due to wind speed, which can be changed due to land use, as well as what the land temperature is, which can be much higher in urban areas than in the surrounding countryside.
But, really, the whole point in this exercise is for believers in AGW to find yet another way to explain away why their predictions of planetary doom keep failing.

Books that I love all have one thing in common: a distinctive voice. Dutch Curridge arrested me from the first page and wouldn't let my eyes move away. I read it in one day. The next day I started reading it all over again. Author Tim Bryant has voice to burn--his words sashay along with more expressive verve and personality than Marilyn Monroe's derriere. I mention Marilyn because she was at the height of her career in 1953, the time period of DUTCH CURRIDGE. The title is a play on "Dutch Coura ...more

This isn't my usual sort of book, but I found it engrossing, even haunting. Bryant did a great job and the flow of the book is perfect.
The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that it isn't my usual sort of read. It really deserves five stars on its own merit.

Loved it from beginning to end. Great story and he nailed the time period perfectly. Wonderful dialog and great characters. Highly recommended.
My full review is on Lurid-lit.com. But I will tell you I was amazed and pleased. This is a marvelous tale harkening back to Chandler and Cain.

I really enjoyed Dutch Curridge. The pacing was precise and the voices of each character were perfect. The feel of old Fort Worth from our grandparen'ts age seeped into my subconcious as I turned the pages and I felt as if I was discovering the city all over again. Some of the characters were so true and felt so real! I wanted to sit with Miz Vita for a glass of sweet tea and shoot some pool with Slant. This was a solid mystery in the old style of the classic noir writers from 50 years ago and I ...more
Apr 29, 2013 Jennifer Hofman rated it 5 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The vivid imagery transported me to 1950's, racially divided Fort Worth. The lead character Dutch is described as an ex-cop who is too bad to be a good cop but way too good to be a 'bad cop.' The book takes you through several dark twists and turns, but also has a underlying vein of humor. Well done.
Apr 15, 2015 Kyley rated it 3 of 5 stars
Main character was entertaining. Story line kept a good pace. The underworld and attitude of old Fort Worth depicted quite well. Superb conclusion. Overall great read.

The seemingly endless stream of promotional materials for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 continues on; today, we have even more footage to glimpse from the film, thanks to some new clips and TV spots.
However, perhaps the more interesting new Breaking Dawn – Part 1 tidbit is confirmation from franchise starlet Kristen Stewart that the film was originally branded with a R rating, thanks to the steamy and (literally) bed-wrecking sex scene between Bella Swan (Stewart) and her pale and powerful vampiric lover, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).
It ought to be (painfully?) obvious by now: this sort of syrupy supernatural soap opera drama is what the Twilight franchise is all about. So you might as well take it (or leave it) as you will.
That said – check out the latest footage from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 below:
R-Rated Cut of Breaking Dawn – Part 1?
When Pattinson previously expressed his skepticism about Breaking Dawn – Part 1 not landing an R-Rating, he seemed to figure it would be primarily because of the film's graphic birth scene. However, Stewart recently informed Glamour that it was actually Bella and Edward's "night of passion" that originally landed the movie a less box office-friendly classification from the MPAA.
Here, to quote, is what the actress had to say on the scene:
"It was so weird, it didn't even feel like we were doing a Twilight film. I was like, 'Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?!'"
That sequence was naturally re-edited, so as to land the first half of Breaking Dawn a PG-13 Rating. However, it begs the question: Just how risque will the theatrical cut be? Is the full and explicit version of the scene going to be included on a future DVD/Blu-Ray release of the film? And does the Unrated cut actually show Edward committing the brutal act of biting a pillow to pieces? 😉
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 arrives in theaters around the U.S. on November 18th, 2011.

Microfluidics Is On a Roll and...

The New Frontline of Infectious Disease...
Moving Toward True Portability?
WaferGen Biosystems snagged an exclusive license from Rutgers University for an RNA quality control technology, which was developed at RUCDR Infinite Biologics under the leadership of Jay A. Tischfield, Ph.D., and Andrew I. Brooks, Ph.D. RUCDR Infinite Biologics is a Rutgers University-based cell and DNA repository.
The company intends to develop and commercialize products based on the patent's concept utilizing WaferGen's high-throughput qPCR SmartChip System.
"The accuracy and relevance of gene expression assays largely depend on the quality of the samples being analyzed. Unlike DNA, RNA is prone to rapid degradation which can lead to unreliable results that affect both research and clinical diagnostic data. Assessing the quality and integrity of RNA samples is of paramount importance prior to conducting experiments. Current QC methods use indirect measurements and lack the robustness and veracity needed to make conclusive assessments of the samples' quality. Our approach incorporates multiple tissue-dependent cDNA measurements and provides a much more stringent measure of sample quality as it pertains to downstream analyses. WaferGen's high-throughput qPCR platform allows us to implement our multianalyte solution in a rapid and cost-effective manner," said Dr. Tischfield, founder and CEO of RUCDR.
The SmartChip Real-Time PCR System is a next-generation genetic analysis platform for profiling and validating molecular biomarkers. According to WaferGen, it provides a range of high-throughput capabilities including microRNA and mRNA gene expression profiling as well as single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping.
In April, WaferGen Biosystems embarked on a strategic realignment with the SmartChip at its core. The company's new focus is on accurate high-throughput qPCR projects for gene expression, genotyping, and target enrichment for next-generation sequencing in a simpler and more cost-effective way.

MINNEAPOLIS No unit took a bigger step forward last season for the Gophers football team than the secondary. In 2011, Minnesota's pass defense was among the worst in the Big Ten. One year later, it was one of the best. The Gophers allowed just 186.6 yards per game through the air in 2012, the fourth-fewest among all teams in the conference. Part of that had to do with improvements along the defensive line allowing the Gophers to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but Minnesota's cornerbacks and safeties progressed individually as well. Heading into the 2013 season, though, Minnesota must figure out how to fill the void left behind by the graduation of senior cornerbacks Michael Carter and Troy Stoudermire. Midway through spring practices, Gophers coach Jerry Kill doesn't believe his secondary will miss a beat from last year. "Our secondary, that part of it, that's a strong part of our football team right now," Kill said Thursday. "We've got some depth there. We've got a lot of ...

Kara comes back.
Jorel wipes her memories and powers again.
It's his thing.
She gets a job as a stripper.
Someone tucks a counterfeit Kryptonite 50 dollar bill under the strap of her g-string...
No wait?
No powers, no weakness.
Carry on.
This episode was probably pitched as a bookend to the episode "Justice" where the Justice league turned up, since the bad guys when they team up some times call themselves the InJustice League of America (Irony be damned it's run by a Gorilla who eats people half the time.), but half the team is wiped out off camera and the rest as well as the show went by without ever coming to heads with Olivers lot in some Super battle Royal.
Not that the budget could stomach that many "gueststars".
Is the little bugger who played Impulse ever coming back?
He was fun.

For 60 years, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has impacted coaches and athletes for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom in schools all across America. While we have had a "warm relationship" with local churches, the Holy Spirit wants it to become a "working relationship". I am inviting local churches to embrace "Sport as Evangelism" and FCA as its mission team to reach school and community coaches and athletes and all they influence for Jesus Christ. Kingdom growth is becoming EXPONENTIAL!!!
Three things you can do to become part of my "Home Team". 1. Pray that I will have God's favor with local church leaders and the wisdom to present God's vision clearly. 2. Introduce me to your church leadership team. 3. Invest financially so that we can expand this working relationship between the Local Church and FCA nationally, internationally and EXPONENTIALLY.

Falls no "bedroom community" with Kohl's HQ, other firms
The presence of Kohl's Corp.'s headquarters complex, and other major office and industrial operations, means Menomonee Falls isn't a typical "bedroom community" suburb.
That's the gist of a new Menomonee Falls Now.com article by reporter Peter Bukowski, which says Kohl's property tax bill from the village is $1.7 million. It also says Menomonee Falls has the third-largest manufacturing tax base in Wisconsin.
And, yes, we're still waiting for an announcement from Kohl's about its new corporate headquarters....

ANYONE who seeks to prophesy the possible course of a future war has to keep this fact firmly in mind, that an accurate forecast, even a very general one, is next to impossible, because it is beyond one's power to foresee the technical and political factors whereby the progress of the war will necessarily be conditioned. The general staffs, indeed, have to go on constructing plans for military operations without which modern warfare is unthinkable, but the politicians dare not mistake these for prophecy and must consider the future with a caution that is almost cynical in its scepticism.
Strategy constitutes an essential element in foreign policy, and that not only in the sense made famous by Clausewitz, who regarded war as the continuation of political action carried out with distinctly different media, but simply because the hopes and plans of the general staff, who have to weigh the chances of victory and the consequences of defeat, decisively influence action in the field of foreign policy. No one can claim to be an expert in foreign policy who has not to a certain extent grasped the principles of strategy and is not in fact himself a strategist. It is only after having ascertained the position as seen by the chief of the general staff that a Foreign Secretary can take his decisions. In 1911 the French Prime Minister, Joseph Caillaux, faced with the German challenge in what is known as "the Panther leap to Agadir," had to decide what line of policy to take; he asked General Joffre if France in the event of war could positively count on victory. The General gave an evasive reply, and Caillaux thereupon decided on a policy of understanding with Berlin.1 Here as always plans of campaign in which there is so often an element of fantasy mattered little. What did matter was the necessity to get a view of the strategical situation clear enough to enable a foreign

Superior pick - up remains the focus of a blade that is beautifully contoured with flowing edges from shoulder to toe. Ultra modern design, lightweight construction and striking cosmetics, a perfect combination for the modern high impact player.

Study: Public Employees in 41 States Earn More than Private-sector Workers
USA Today finds a $2,500 gap between public- and private-sector compensation.
Government workers in Wisconsin -- and 40 other states -- earn higher salaries and receive better benefits than private-sector workers in the same state, according to a new analysis by USA Today.
The findings will likely be used to bolster the positions of Republicans in Wisconsin and other states who are seeking to restrict unionized teachers' collective bargaining rights and require them to pay a larger portion of their benefits.
On average, public workers earned $57,775 annually in salary and benefits -- about $2,511 more than the average private-sector worker, according to the newspaper's study.
The newspaper's analysis also found that public employees' compensation has grown at a faster rate than that of private workers since 2000, largely due to improving benefits.
The study didn't control for specific jobs, education or other factors, prompting some critics to question its methodology.

The Rape of Europa and Food Inc,: The Modes Used by the Filmmakers to Create Social Change
Paper by Josh Feldman.
"Film and media are instrumental in creating and implementing shifts in viewpoints that foster change within the individual and the collective of society. The documentary is a vehicle for change serving us by facilitating our hopeful return to our own fidelity of being."(Faulcon, 2012). Voice of the Documentary, the specific way in which an argument or perspective is expressed, is represented by the way the world is being shaped by the filmmaker from his distinct point of view. This is accomplished with ethical proof, emotional proof and demonstrative proof so that the film can be credible, convincing and compelling. The documentary film in conjunction with all of the new media opportunities for the filmmaker to expand their reach and promote social change allows for greater social impact. With the use of film, social activists are able to use the documentaries as a valuable tool to tell a story and implement shifts in society's viewpoints. Analyzing the rhetorical proofs within the films The Rape of Europa and Food Inc. allows us to see how the films can be a
Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow, 2015): USA
Reviewed by Richard M.
In 1993, Universal Studios and Steven Spielberg (Jaws, ET: The extra-terrestrial, Indiana Jones) had the idea to create one of most favored films in modern film history. Jurassic Park (1993), printed its name on Hollywood; winning 3 Oscars and also 24 other awards including: Best Sound, Best Special and Effects and Best Writing. It is recognized on IMDB's website as #212 of #250 best voted films in our time. The first installment profited at $63,000,000, and with the special effects and CGI of the 90s, Jurassic Park was soon a family favorite capturing tons of recognition around the world. The idea of the films were taken from the novels by Michael Crichton, who published Jurassic park in the late 80's, he then also went on to publish the first sequel Jurassic Park: The Lost World in 1997 which was later created into another Spielberg film. Although the film wasn't as successful, it wasn't deemed a failure; some critics would disagree, however, the figures speak for themselves. Jurassic Park returned to our screen in 2001, with new director Joe Johnston

Kill the Messenger: The Media's Role in the Fate of the World
Chat with Maria Armoudian about her new book.
Hosted by Spocko.
In the spring of 1994, after decades of intermarrying and living in relative harmony with each other, Rwandan Hutus, en masse, went on a murderous rampage against their Tutsi neighbors. By the end of just three months, nearly three-quarters of the entire Tutsi population had been exterminated. This swift, appalling genocide followed a relentless propaganda campaign broadcast from government-controlled radio, which for over three years had demonized Rwandan Tutsis.
What role do the media have in creating the conditions for atrocities such as occurred in Rwanda? Conversely, can the media be used to preserve democracy and safeguard the human rights of all citizens in a diverse society? How will the media, now global in scope, affect the fate of the planet itself.
Veteran journalist Maria Armoudian explores these intriguing questions and more in this in-depth examination of the media's power to either help or harm.
Armoudian begins by documenting how the media were used to spread a contagion of hate in three deadly conflicts: Rwanda, Nazi Germany, and the former Yugoslavia.
She then turns to areas of the world where the media acted constructively—by aiding the peace process in Northern Ireland, rebuilding democracy in Chile, bridging ethnic divides in South Africa, improving the lot of women in Senegal, and boosting transparency and democratization in Mexico and Taiwan.
Finally, she explains how the media interact with psychological and cultural forces to impact perceptions, fears, peer-pressure, "groupthink," and the creation of heroes and villains.
This wide-ranging, insightful book will make readers keenly aware of the media's power, while underscoring the role that we all play in fostering a media climate that cultivates a greater sense of humanity, cooperation, and fulfillment of human potential.
Maria Armoudian (Los Angeles, CA) is the host and producer of a radio show called "The Insighters" on KPFK and WPRR. She is a fellow of the Center for International Studies and a PhD candidate at the University of Southern California. (Prometheus Books)
