By A Customer
This books drags on, explains little and for someone like myself that is just starting in Photography and wants an understanding in common Photographic terms is useless. The following terms are not explained in Mr. Ang's Glossary at all, and too much space is given to Computer for Dummies dialog.
Following terms are not at least touched upon or even explained:
Effective Resolution
F Stop
Depth of field
Digital Optics
Exposure Control
What Mr. Ang Spends most of his time doing is reprinting what has been written a thousand times over in Photoshop Books and Computer for Dummies circa 1987.
The Cameras that he compares, six models, three of the best and three of the absolute worst, are in so horrible detail, three paragraphs, that I would expect this kind of effort from a Junior High Student. Of course one will get great looking photos operating a Nikon D100 but the why is not even explained in detail, what we get instead is: How to have your eyes set from optimal monitor viewing!
I would swear that most of this material was Plagiarized for "how to set up your Computer manual" and "Photoshop for Dummies". The only saving grace to the whole book is the "Quick Fix" sections but this material I have also seen many times over in PC Week and MacWorld.
If you know nothing about computers and Don't need certain Photographic terms explained and studied, and would also like to just get another tip book get the Photoshop Bible, that would be better than this outdated, ill informed over bloated drivel.
5.0 out of 5 stars This was my orange sherbet.,
By A Customer
Choosing an introductory level technical guide is something like ordering ice cream in a foreign language: all the flavors might be good, but you probably won't feel satisfied if you wanted orange sherbet and wind up with rocky road.
I bought this volume in spite of two negative Amazon.com reviews. Fortunately I brought a wireless Internet connection to my neighborhood bookstore so I was able to do some real browsing.
The layout and printing are first rate. I like heavy paper, full color on every page, and a design that serves the content. This was the best by far in those areas among the smaller digital photography volumes I saw. Tom Ang has a wonderful photographer's eye.
This is a guide for people who used to burn through 35mm film as a hobby. It won't teach you how to shoot your niece's birthday party or explain every optimization trick in Photoshop. You already know the basics - if this is your book - and you'd rather leave the imaging software tome back at home on the desk. What you really want is enough information to adjust some settings and composition, glance at the preview screen, and get a sense for what you'll do afterward.
I may not be the typical reader. Although I've never taken a photography course in my life and couldn't feel my way out of a darkroom, I've also been published in about half a dozen magazines. This volume is beautiful enough to make me want to run for my camera and sturdy enough to carry along for some thumbing. What attracted me most is tricky to pinpoint. Tom Ang understands how digital cameras "see" and how imaging programs "think," yet those technologies never overwhelm his priorities. It's all about getting the shot.
2.0 out of 5 stars For the regular guy, it gets too technical too quickly,
Jennifer Singh "microbiojen" (08322 - Franklinville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
If you like the way your pictures come out, this book is built to show you how to apply those skills to the digital format. But if you're an average family member trying to improve your pictures of your average life, go with "How to Photograph Your Life" by Nick Kelsh.
"Digital Photography: An Introduction" by Tom Ang
The opening chapter (on how to select the equipment to meet your needs) is useful only for those who don't have a camera, computer, or scanner yet or those who are looking to replace their current tools. But by the time I'm buying a photography book, I'm looking to make better use of the camera I already have. And I don't claim to know more than the professionals, but the author's advice on many technical points seems to contradict all that I've heard elsewhere. Such as his suggestion on page 16 that "with a 3-megapixel camera you have really crossed over into the realm of professional-quality image-making." This is a brand-new publication (October 2003) and I wouldn't hire any professional who told me he would be shooting my event with a 3-megapixel camera these days. Plus, like the rest of the book, it gets too technical too quickly. By the fourth page of the chapter, the author is describing buyers' choices for available focusing methods and viewfinder systems, before getting into the broader, more basic subject of whether to choose a 1, 2, or 3-megapixel camera. At least the chapter is short - only 24 pages.
The 2nd chapter is wonderful - the good stuff on how to take better pictures. Fundamentals of composition, lighting, proportion... but the author spends too little time on each subject. For example, there are only two pages on proportion, and the whole chapter is only 34 pages long. And it gets too technical too quickly, often recommending techniques that require costly accessories. The author seems to assume you already have a photographic eye and he says nothing about how to train your eyes to turn a scene from an average life into a good picture.
The rest of the book makes up the bulk of it (pages 94 to 216). These last two chapters cover image manipulation and output options (web, printing, emailing). I can't really review these because I haven't gotten there yet. First I need to start taking pictures that I like before I'm willing to invest time and money into editing and printing them.
Maybe it's just me, but this does not seem like a good book for beginners.
1.0 out of 5 stars A book for someone who does not yet own a digital camera,
By A Customer
I was very disappointed in this book. Perhaps this was my fault as I expected it to be more advanced than it was. The material on camera and computers was a complete waste of my time - I already have camera and computer...
Also so much of the information is self-explanatory when you do your first digital editing. I already know a great deal of this and the explanations for what I do NOT know (the reason I got the book) aren't detailed enough.
Also, he has a section on Quick Mask, which isn't even available in Elements 2, although he says it is... - for a new book, this needs updating NOW.
I would not recommend it to anyone except a person just looking into getting a digital camera.

|A Ukrainian POW captured in Shakhtars'k 31st July 2014 is paraded in front of cameras / © RIA Novosti
Russian 'DNR' Fighters Tortured and Committed War Crimes on their POW's in South East Ukraine.
- Extremely graphic video and photographic material shows evidence of torture and alleged war crimes being committed on three Ukrainian POW paratroopers by fighters of the Donetsk People's Republics (DNR) rebel forces in Shakhtarsk on 31st July: a clear breach of International humanitarian law and the Geneva convention.
- One Ukrainian POW was filmed and photographed being 'forced' to drag at least one deceased Ukrainian paratrooper from the road; and dig what appear to be graves for his comrades.
- The current whereabouts of all three POW's are unknown.
- One 'DNR rebel' fighter, DImitry Gritsyuk, a Russian citizen from St Petersburg, shot a graphic video and photographs of the battle aftermath, including 'posing' in one photo with his friends stood over the remains of a Ukrainian paratrooper, which were posted on YouTube and social media.
- A pro-Russian website suggested one POW had died, posting a photo. He does look similar to the POW seen alive, but this cannot be 100% confirmed and remains a major question.
- The dead Ukrainian soldiers appear to have been looted by DNR rebel fighters.
- Proof Russia's military is fighting on Ukrainian territory against the Ukrainian army: in this instance apparently under the guise of DNR rebels opposed to Kiev's government. (herein referred to as 'DNR rebels')
Detailed Evidence
WARNING: The video & photo evidence is extremely graphic throughout
Date: 31st July 2014
Location: Shakhtars'k Шахтарськ : Donetsk region, Ukraine
Summary: Ukrainian army sustains 'heavy losses' in a battle in or near Shakhtar'k, SE Ukraine on 31st July, in an apparent ambush GRAD attack.
>WARNING: Very graphic content below this point
The GRAD attack on 31st July, according to reports here and here, DNR rebels killed 21 and injured 80 Ukrainian paratroopers of the 25th Brigade, including a claim to have killed the 2nd Battalion commander - a few km's south of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 crash site area, west of Torez. Another, later report suggests 14 reported dead and 10 injured.
Euro News report is embedded:
In the battle aftermath, video and photographs were published of DNR rebel soldiers 'gloating' over their 'victory.'
|Dimitry Gritsyuk, a Russian paratrooper
This is a screen of the video he shot which he appears to have filmed shortly after arriving at the scene:
Here is the full video (WARNING graphic):
And this is the VERY GRAPHIC photo taken of Dimitry Gritsyuk and two fellow fighters crouched over a dead paratrooper which was posted on Dimitry Gritsyuk's VK account (since deleted) but here is the original:
Further images of the aftermath:
More graphic photo 'trophies' of the scene were posted here.
The Three Ukrainian POW Paratroopers
A number of photographs taken by Andrei Stenin were published by Kremlin run RIA Novosti purporting to show at least three Ukrainian POW paratroopers being interrogated under duress, sometime soon after being captured by a DNR rebel force. Stenin photographed / documented this mistreatment for over 8 hours, according to the EXIF data on his images submitted to Ria Novosti's database.
|RIA Novosti (image 1)
|RIA Novosti (image 2)
|RIA Novosti (image 3)
|RIA Novosti (image 4)
|RIA Novosti (image 5)
These three Ukrainian POWs appear to be clearly under duress and in conjunction with numerous and lengthy videos posted on YouTube, it looks like they may have been 'tortured.'
The above video also shows the man on left (also seen in image 1 on left) apparently arriving at a hospital (see 6:00), and is seen being treated:
Another video appears to show the same POW, in a bed asking for his mother to collect him. He claims to be in a Donetsk hospital when asked, and he gives his name as Andrey Ponasyuk:
It is unknown at this point whether Andrey Ponasyuk was released from the hospital, or where he is currently located.
However, this photograph below, which was posted here appears to show the same man in the RIA Novosti photographs / videos and was captioned as dead (screenshot):
When compared to the hi-resolution photo via RIA Novosti and the videos it appears to be the same person taking into account the facial features, including hair; and clothing appear to match:
However, until a body has been recovered or reliable information has been received regarding his status or whereabouts, the evidence is currently inconclusive to say that the POW seen alive, did in fact die.
Key question: Where is Andrey Ponasyuk and is there any conclusive proof he died?
POW forced to drag dead comrade and dig mass graves
The POW with the patch above his eye in the RIA Novosti photographs (images 3 & 4) was forced to drag at least one dead paratroopers body off the road; and dig mass graves for his dead comrades:
The video is here (first it shows a local man berating and spitting on the POW)
Embedded here: (forward to 17:40)
The same POW appears to have then dug a grave:
This POW also appears in this video with DNR rebel soldiers, who oversee him clearly being forced to dig mass graves - at 3:15 onward in embedded video:
Looting the dead
Another video appears to show the DNR rebels looting from the dead..
There is a $200,000 reward for the capture of DImitry Gritsyuk, the Russian citizen and soldier from St Peterburg, according to this report:
Where are the three POW paratroopers now?
And in particular.... what happened to Andrey Ponasyuk?
UPDATE 1 : Sergei Stenin, the RIA Novosti photojournalist who took many of the 'torture' photo's herein has gone missing. Latest details here.
This is an ongoing investigation:
Information on this incident is urgently needed. If you can help please contact via Twitter.
Further updates to follow....
Note: @djp3tros has done some additional investigation of the video & photographic evidence on Andrey Ponasyuk: He suggests Andrey Ponasyuk could be dead - evidence is presented here.

I'm surprised. Does he reallty want PBS to become just another low level entertainment channel? What's the political motivation? Did PBS step on someone's toes with their documentaries? Is he concerned that children aren't seeing as many commercials as they should.
No dipstick...he is trying to reduce the deficit by using commercials on PBS. Nothing wrong with that... more funding for more shows.

Janeway returning to Trek Lit? (Possible Spoilers)

Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?
I didn't really expect KJ, if she really returned, would just take up w/ Chak. Thought maybe she would be changed by her experiences, but hoped perhaps she & C. would manage to connect enough that there would be possibility for a relationship in the next (!) book. Now I love having them together at the end, but hope they can keep it interesing in the next (yes please, Pocket Books) Voy. book. Well the idea of a "command team" being involved was something KM didn't seem to think would work, so guess now will have to see how that will go, lol. PS well the print of the book is so small I might have to skim it tomorrow and get the Kindle version on Tues. (yes more $ for Pocket Books, but another sale for TET is ok) and get to really read it w/ larger print. I swore I wouldn't pay higher Ebooks prices, but this time may be worth it again.

Perfect piece to hide the blankets and to add additional seating when extra visitors show up. Only thing I do not like it that it is on casters that will not lock. If people have their feet on it it has a tendency to roll away. Anyone bumping into it moves it around the room. The ottoman is a great addition to the room. Love the piece.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very Nice
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Perfect
I looked for real leather, I could have purchased fake or bonded leather for 1/2 the price I paid for this. I feel I was very much decieved on the product quality. Will definately not trust again!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. looked and looked for one that was real leather. not bonded,faux ect... this one said it was... NOT! Must have been an alien animal it was taken from.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? except for material, it was fine
It is advertised as "leather" but really is "bond leather," a much inferior kind. One of the buttons came off already also! Do not recommend this product.
Seeing this ottoman online had me a little skeptical because I figured that once I received it it would look totally different. It wasn't! It fit perfectly with the recliner I bought it for. Was a rich deep dark brown, very sturdy and the storage area was a plus. No problem assembly. The only thing that would make this a better purchase is if it were free! LOL
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was exactly what I needed it to be.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Better than what I expected for the price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? right on!
I purchased this for my kids den. It's high enough to prop our feet up on when we are on the sofa. It rolls easily so we can move it when we want to open the sofa bed, but since it's on carpet it doesn't roll around when you put your feet up. It's flat enough to rest a drink on and it's the perfect height for the kids to sit on and play video games. Wide enough for 4 little kids or 3 bigger ones. I believe this is bonded leather but it looks nice and I don't have to worry if the kids damage it. The only problem I can see is that you cannot put anything heavy inside of it. The bottom piece is just a thin piece of ply wood. My 3 year old crawled into it and I could hear it creaking under his weight and he's about 40 lbs. But its perfect for blankets and pillows or some light toys. As long as the weight is spread out it should be fine. Perfect unit for what I need.
My dogs jump on it and it has held up well, no scratch marks since December. Holds lots of stuff and looks very rich.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same as shown
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very good description
Good quality, material and functionality
This is nice, looks good in my family room in front of the sofa as a coffee table. Nice sized storage area, using to store bedding for pull out beds in sofa. On wheels, so easy to move out of the way.
I ordered 2 of these for extra seating and storage. They fit perfectly under my windows and store all those items I want nearby without everyone seeing them. Thank you again Overstocked for providing me these beautiful products for my home. Sue H
Nice size and fit perfectly where I wanted to use it. However it is a bit easy to roll around even on a rug. I may get some of those little rubber things for the rollers to sit in so it won't move so easily. Nice interior, I use that to store my personal calendar and mail.
This is a super addition to our rec room. It holds lots of cozy throws and the surface can be used as a table. It has even provided extra seating a time or two.
We are using it for a coffee table/ottoman. It works for both, the storage is great and the wheels make it easy to move closer to the sofa for shorter people.
Perfect for my needs...storage in bedroom. Like the color and depth for plenty of storage. Would purchase another one if needed.
Wish it was a little bigger, but it is a great ottoman if you have kids since there are no sharp edges and has storage.
This bonded leather ottoman is an excellent match for my bonded leather sofa in my den. I replaced a conventional cocktail table with this piece, and I'm very pleased. Cozy throws that used to fill a large corner basket fit nicely in the ottoman with still more room to spare. I placed a couple of trays that complement the room's décor on the ottoman to provide a surface on which flowers and drinks can be set. The ottoman is a sturdy, well-constructed piece, and the price is in line with what I found on other bargain websites.
This piece exceeded my expectations!! It is perfect in all ways. The quality of the bonded leather creates a much more expensive look. The casters ( rollers on bottom) took me 5 minutes to install. I shopped a local furniture store and saw an ottoman just like this one that cost 3x as much! I am a happy Overstock customer.
Great storage piece. I have it my entry foyer and keep kids books and papers in it. Absolutely love it.
Real leather--not faux leather--ottoman that we use at foot of queen bed to sit on and store an extra blanket. Comes well packed in box with only the roller casters to put on. Very easy to install casters. Ottoman rolls easily even on carpet but does not roll off if you try to sit on it. Leather is trimmed nicely, top cushion is comfortable, if you were using it for occasional seating in a room. Can't say enough about how pleased we are with both the look and quality of this Christopher Knight storage ottoman.
Nice, ordered this for our liviing room, didn't like the hinges for such a large storage ottoman and the leather is very stiff, not soft like our couches. Possibly am going to return for a smaller one that can handle hinges.
Very stylish ottoman with great storage and pretty lightweight, we did not put the wheels on it and it slides on the carpet very easily!

They were very friendly and kept the breakfast open for us a little longer than normal (for Friday, only).
Location is about all I can say.
We were charged extra for a non smoking room. People across the hall had dogs that barked nonstop and management did next to nothing to try to resolve the disturbance. Hot tub was barely lukewarm. Towels in our non smoking room smelled of smoke.
It was right off the highway.
Dirty, not enough parking, torn curtains, burn holes in bedding, DIRTY carpet and it smelled.
Location and friendly person at front desk.
The room was dated and very cold, the wind was blowing through the 1/2' gap all around the front door. The door was not very secure at all. The bathroom door had a hole punched in it.
Can park the vehicle near your room.
Lack of consistent internet. Train crossing near this location, a lot of trains come during the late night and very early morning.
The location. The breakfast. The pool.
Guests were smoking in nonsmoking rooms. There was a stain on the comforter. The door frame was cracked. The floor was sticky.
Very good breakfast.
The room was not as clean, looked like it was not finished.
The staff was friendly. Room was clean.
2nd floor room, stairs only no elevator. Quite a task bringing up all our luggage.
Shower redirect was stuck and took excessive force to loosen it.
The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bed was so comfortable. Should I ever go back there I will request the same hotel.
I loved my stay so there wasn't anything I didn't like about it.

Florida manatee deaths reach record high
NAPLES - Florida's endangered manatees have chalked up their deadliest year on record in 2010 thanks to last winter's big chill, figures released Friday show.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported 699 manatee deaths through Dec. 5, a 63 percent increase over 2009, the previous record year for manatee deaths with 429 recorded.
Of this year's deaths, 244 of them were blamed on cold stress. That compares to just 54 cold-related deaths in 2009, figures show.
Many of the 183 unexplained manatee deaths so far this year also likely were cold related, the Conservation Commission said.
Monitors have not attributed any manatee deaths to this past week's cold snap, at least not yet.
The Conservation Commission is bracing for a possible repeat of last winter's death streak, which had rescuers juggling space in Florida's manatee rehabilitation clinics, said Gil McRae, director of the FWC's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
"Hopefully it doesn't evolve this year," McRae said.
He said it could be years before scientists can tell the long-term effect of the 2010 death toll on the health of Florida's manatee population.
In January 2010, manatee trackers counted more than 5,000 manatees in Florida's waters, besting 2009's record count by some 1,200 sea cows.
The record number of cold-related deaths underscores the need to maximize access to warm-water refuges for manatees, including natural springs and power plant discharges, McRae said.
A Collier County boating industry leader said it would be unfortunate if the record death toll became a rallying point for slower boat speed zones.
"It's no fault of boaters," Marine Industries Association of Collier County President Frank Perrucci said. "It's no fault of anybody."
A manatee advocate, though, said the high death count in 2010 makes the success of other manatee protection measures that much more important.
"I'm really fearful this is not over yet," Save the Manatee Club Director Pat Rose said.

Eclectic local eight-piece DRMS [1] (formerly Dreams) today released a haunting video for "With You" off the band's self-titled debut LP. The album release party takes place Sat/28 at Rickshaw Stop [2].
The video for "With You" was funded through – say it together now – Kickstarter. The Oakland band raised $5,000 to create it, a thousand bucks more than its initial goal.
Director Elia Vargas [3] says the video, which depicts color-punctuacted scenes of lead vocalist Emily Ritz wandering through an old Victorian, "explores themes of transposing human ideas and human emotions onto inanimate objects. Specifically, inanimate spaces – like the home," adding "We transformed a house to engage in a flirtatious dance with [Ritz]."

14 CFR 1216.205 - Procedures for evaluating NASA actions impacting floodplains and wetlands.
prev | next
(a) Before taking any action a determination shall first be made whether the proposed action will occur in or may adversely affect a floodplain or wetlands, using the method prescribed in§ 1216.204(b).
(b) These procedures apply only to evaluations of those proposed actions which are to be located in or may adversely impact floodplains. These evaluations shall be made at the earliest practicable stage of advance planning, such as during facilities master plan development or when preparing preliminary engineering reports. These evaluations shall include analyses of harm to lives and property, the natural and beneficial values of floodplains and wetlands, and the cumulative impacts of multiple actions over the long term.
(1) Early public notice is the next step in the evaluation process and will normally be accomplished using only the appropriate Single State Point of Contact and coordinating with that party pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, as amended, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs," as appropriate. If, however, actions involving land acquisition or a major change in land or water use is proposed, the overall public audience will be as broad as reasonably possible including, but not limited to, adjacent property owners and residents, near-by floodplain residents and local elected officials. To assure their continuous interaction and involvement, the Field Installation will issue public notices and newsletters, and hold public hearing and/or work shops on a formalized scheduled basis to provide the opportunity for public input and understanding of the proposed action. Regardless of the scope of action proposed, initially a notice will be provided to the appropriate State Single Point of Contact pursuant to E.O. 12372 that will not exceed three pages and will include:
(iii) A statement indicating whether the action conforms to applicable state and local floodplain protection standards.
(v) A statement explaining the timing of public notice review actions to provide opportunities for the public to provide meaningful input.
(2) Working with the appropriate State Single Point of Contact pursuant to E.O. 12372 and, if applicable, otherpublic groups and officials, to identify practicable alternatives in addition to those already identified by NASA. The alternatives will include:
(iii) Taking no action, if the resulting hazards and/or harm to or within the floodplain overbalances the benefits to be provided by the proposed action.
(3) The costs and impacts of all practicable alternatives must now be fully determined to properly assess the practicability of avoiding the base floodplain, or of minimizing harm to the floodplain if alternatives directly or indirectly support floodplain development or have other adverse impacts.
(i) The basic criteria to be used in determining the impacts of the various alternatives appear in the Floodplain Management Guidelines for Implementing Executive Order 11988 (43 FR 6030). These criteria discuss in detail the three basic types of impacts which are to be addressed:
(B) Concentrated and dispersed impacts (impacts on-site, near-site, and remote from the installation); and
(C) Short and long-term impacts (include temporary changes and those that take the form of delayed changes resulting from the cumulative effects of many individual actions).
(ii) Also to be determined is the nature of resulting hazards and risk to lives and property; and the restoration and preservation of natural and beneficial floodplain and wetlands values.
(iii) In determining the type, magnitude, costs, timing factors, etc., of the impacts, it is emphasized that subjective assessments have little value. To qualify for inclusion in the evaluation process, an impact must be fully described and quantified in a measurable way compatible with good scientific or engineering practice. Briefly stated, an impact is effected by or based on, and limited to, a quantified alteration of existing coastal or riverine systems including:
(4) For the proposed action and those alternatives which will impact the floodplain or wetlands, additional analysis must be undertaken to minimize, restore and preserve the natural and beneficial floodplain or wetlands values. Because NASA does not retain expertise in these areas of floodplain management, field installations will consult, on a case-by-case basis, with the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to assure that, for each of the above alternatives, methods are prescribed which will:
(5) The proposed action and alternatives shall now be comparatively evaluated taking into account the identified impacts, the steps necessary to minimize these impacts and opportunities to restore and preserve floodplain and wetlands values. The comparison will emphasize floodplain values.
(i) If this evaluation indicates that the proposed action in the base floodplain is still practicable, consider limiting the action so that a non-floodplain site could be more practicable.
(ii) If the proposed action is outside the floodplain but has adverse impacts or supports floodplain development, consider modifying or relocating the action to eliminate or reduce these effects or even taking no action.
(6) If, upon completing the comparative evaluation, the Field Installation Director determines that the only practicable alternative is locating in the base floodplain, a statement of fundings and public explanation mustbe provided to all those who have received the early public notice, and specifically to the appropriate State Single Point of Contact pursuant to E.O. 12372, and will include as a minimum:
(ii) A statement of all significant facts considered in making the determination including alternative sites and actions.
(iii) A statement indicating whether the actions conform to applicable State and local floodplain protection standards.
(iv) In cases where land acquisition or major changes in land use are involved, it may also be appropriate to include:
(B) A description of how the activity will be designed or modified to minimize harm to or within the floodplain.
(C) A statement indicating how the action affects natural or beneficial floodplain or wetlands values.
(7) After a reasonable period (15 to 30 days) to allow for public response, the proposed action may proceed through the normal NASA approval process, or if disposal is anticipated, the action can be implemented in accordance with Federal Property Management Regulations real property disposal procedures. If, however, significant new information is revealed in comments by the public, the field installation shall re-evaluate the proposed action in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of this section.
(8) For major NASA actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, the evaluations required above will be included in any statement prepared underSection 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act.
(9) In accordance with§ 1216.202(b), the Assistant Associate Administrator for Facilities Engineering, NASA Headquarters, will conduct periodic on-site reviews to assure that the action is carried out in accordance with the stated findings and plans for the proposed action, in compliance with the Executive orders.

Egypt top general, president deny army abuse claim
"I swear by God the armed forces since January 25 (2011), and I swear by God, didn't kill or order any killing, didn't cheat and didn't order any treachery, didn't betray and didn't order any betrayal."
"I want to tell all those who listen to me that they must really watch out before defaming the military and its forces," el-Sissi said. "It is honorable, nationalist and loyal and is very affected by any defamation it is subjected to."
Morsi came to the defense of the military, saying, "I will not ever allow slanders in any way, shape or form or ... any means to attack any member of the armed forces starting from its leaders ... to its smallest member."
"This is something I tell the whole society. Any slandering of any member of the armed forces is a slandering for us all," he said.
Morsi said Egyptians appreciate the role of the military.
"I tell the world about the great role the armed forces played in protecting the security and safety of this nation inside and outside from any aggression, and its role during a period we all know for in protecting its internal security and it still does," he said.
Morsi also announced the promotion of the heads of Egypt's air force, air defense forces and navy to the rank of lieutenant-general during the meeting with the generals.
Trying military officers, as well as police, for alleged abuses during and after the uprising remains a top demand by many revolutionary groups. During the uprising, the military declared it was neutral and it refrained from widely cracking down on the protesters demanding Mubarak's ouster. Since then, it has touted its role protecting the uprising.
When the fact-finding mission first handed its report over to Morsi's office in late December, a member of the panel that drafted it told The Associated Press that it included details of killings and torture of protesters by the military. The leaked parts of the report also had testimonies of abuses by the military during its rule, before it handed over power to Morsi, following presidential elections in June 2012.
The elected leader's relations with the military have been a subject for much speculation, because it is the first time Egypt is ran by a civilian president. Morsi's office and military have repeatedly denied reports of strained relations between the two sides.

Notre Dame also must decide whether it wants to go to a minor bowl game. Safety Kyle McCarthy, one of the captains, said team leaders will let Swarbrick know the players' feelings later this week.
"We're not going to go play in a game if 10 guys want to play and 70 guys don't. The only way we're going to do it is if we're full force ahead," he said. "We're going to talk to the team this week and decide."
University spokesman John Heisler said the decision on whether to go to a bowl will not be based solely on what players want, saying other factors are involved.
AP Sports Writers Joe Kay in Cincinnati, Jeff Latzke in Oklahoma City, Stephen Hawkins in Fort Worth, Jim Vertuno in Austin, contributed to this report.

Hotel was clean and comfortable. It was accessible to Metro only a block away. I would advice you plan your Metro routes in advance as you have to know which line and in which direction to take it. Quiet area, good cafés for breakfast and tapas. Don't recommend buying Madrid ticket as Museums are free after certain hours and it is less expensive to just pay the ones you see. Prado Thyssen and Reina Sofia are large and it is difficult to make it to all the tourist attractions in the amount of time they give you. Lunch ends at 4 and they close the kitchen so plan to eat sandwiches or tapas from then to 8 pm. ...

Saturday Nite Under the Lites at the fabulous Texas Raceway on June 8, 2008, saw some mighty powerful racin'. I want to acknowledge and thank our Harley Nitro Top Fuel sponsor of Bennett Racing, pilot/owner Scott "Hotrod" Bennett. Other thanks to the other sponsors: Attorney Hank Bauer, Skunk Dots Biker Magazine, TMFC Racing Team, and the Fas Coonass Racing, Randal Andres. "Hotrod" Scott is out of Dallas and is sponsored by Fun Factory Events, Maxxius Machine, Energy One Performance Clutches Racing, American Cycle Company, Amsoil, Nungesser Engineering. The track was alive with motorcycles from Nitro to alcohol to sport bikes to crouch rockets…along with a couple altered cars. There was new track records set and heartache at the starting line. We witnessed heros and then zeros within 6 seconds and sixty feet.
There were some mighty, bad-ass Nitro-snortin' Harley top fuelers struttin' their stuff. I like to say, "Stylin' & Profilin'" to be the winner for this fine evening of fun and stiff racin' competition. The last pair to be pitted against each other was Jocko versus Iron Dog. New Ulm, TX's Zack Sayre of Iron Dog Racing is a contender that Jocko had to reckon with-at the line. Both bikes and pilots were brought to the entry of the burnout box…pilots slowly and intentionally put their gloves on, their helmets on…while steadily looking over each and every part of their monster that they were fixin' to straddle down the track. Even the littlest, minut item out of perfect alignment or just being attached loosely means that their life is on the line. These bikes are their pilots destiny-either good or bad outcomes. A monster machine to respect and love. Now is the time for both pilots to attach their kill switch and crank up the muscle. Jocko always says a little pray. They both mount their steeds, the ground starts rumbling under our feet, and the noise of thunder can be heard to Chi-town. Everyone on the track at this moment in time are either loving to be in these racers leathers or are scared s…less. The two of them are fixin' to enjoy the greatest felling/rush of life in six seconds…a lifetime of smiles rolled into seconds. Just imagine you in their boots…going close to 180 mph in an eighth mile…with no control of your front wheel 'cause it is off the ground…the only thing keeping you from flipping backwards are your little-bitty wheelie-bars. Let's get back to the starting line, both pilots have jumped out of the water box with bellows of tire-smoke, deafening engine-monster noise, nitromenthane being throwed every where, and that's the first twenty feet. Now we have the seriousness starting between them, the fun-playing is over. Both warriors get on the line, helmet lids go down, butt-waggin' goes on to get the right spot, and the tunnel-vision begins. It seems like forever but just seconds past as the Christmas tree lites fall, the racers focus/concentrate on the lites as they eagerly participate their up-comin' ride of a lifetime. Lites turn green, in a blink of an eye, smoke bellows, thunder happens with the crack of the throttle, off they go…Iron Dog develops mechanical problems. The number one top fuel winner to take first place for the day was out of Garland, TX, the "Intimidator" Fletcher "Jocko" Mitchell. He's sponsored by Dallas H-D, Phillips Garage in Waxahachie, TX, Ace Powder Coating, H-D of Dallas, Amsoil, and Energy One Performance Clutches. He and his crew have had a "dry" spell as far as winning but now …the race is on!!!
We had an unexpected treat happen on the track…Charlie Machado raced against Captain Chrome-Paul Jones on Harley Pro Fuel bikes. Charlie has raced with DRAGBIKE, PROSTAR, B.N.I.OFFICIATED BY S.C.T.A., AMRA, IDBA, AHDRA, HDRA, TEXAS SCOOTER TIMES PARTY DRAGS, and was an active member and insured by AMA. He broke 3 world speed records at The BONNEVILLE WORLD SPEED TRIALS and re-broke 2 of his own records in the same speed week (that's 5). Charlie has set some track records in drag racing and held national records. He's raced on gas, alcohol, nitromenthane. For the best of any of these, is his love for CHRIST and the people who have supported me. His notoriety is world known. Charlie Machado is "The Worlds Fastest Mexican" (on a motorcycle, that is). Quite a resume, huh? On this nite, he's piloting Jimbo Knight's fueler out of Louisiana. This pair was going to do the best out of three battles-two out of three. Captain Chrome has quite a lengthy racing history in his own rights. Paul built his own bike out of his parts and left-overs that were laying around. After two rounds on the track, they ended up with one win for each. The last round was the deciding match. These racers were perfect as a dueling pair-they were such evening matched that no one could have predicted who would finally win… However, "The World's Fastest Mexican" kept Captain Chrome to take this win. Can't wait to see them again together!!!
The Harley Top Gas saw some fast, vicious, exciting racing. Drop Dead Fred Racing's Terry Teague of Galveston made his opponent work for the win by laying an et 6.864 at 103.83 mph. The winner out of Garland, Bill Flaherty laid an et 6.568 at 107.75 mph.
Since this was an eighth mile track, we had a mixed-bike bracket A ET race with dial-ins below 6.99. First place winner was Keith O'Neil of Fort Worth TX. Runner-up was Marion Edward of Plano, TX. For the mixed-bike bracket B et race with dial-ins over 13.00, the first place winner was Tom Smith of Wylie, TX and runner-up was Paul Davidson of Houston, TX.
CLASS E Tom Smith 7.743 87.45
CLASS F Denny "Dinky" Davis 7.064 94.87
CLASS FF Marc Oivreloeil 18
CLASS JJ Max Key 7.714 90.21
CLASS MM Dean Shayna 7.821 90.51
CLASS O Dale Houston 7.898 87.78
CLASS P Larry "Redeye" Stice 7.879 90.09
CLASS PP Michael Majeska 7.300 92.09
CLASS U Barry Fitzgarald 7.658 87.91
CLASS VRCH Terry Teague 6.527 107.63

CLASS WM David Lee 6.367 110.15
CLASS Y Ronnie Barnes 6.009 118.01
CLASS YM Eddie Gray
CLASS Z Lloyd Stenerson
Then we take each class winner, ask them for their dial-ins, and last man/woman standing wins KING OF CASH. The winner saw Ronnie Barnes of Dallas, TX with runner-up David Lee of Denton, TX. Through the nite he was sharing his bike with Steve Henderson of Odessa, TX. Next race is at Ben Bruce Memorial Raceway Park in Evadale, TX on August 2, 2008.

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 10/10/12
That's right folks, the number one defense in the NFL is.....the Seattle Seahawks.This is most definitely the best defense that the Patriots will face thus far this year. They are ranked number one in the league, 5th in passing, 3rd in rushing, 2nd in points allowed per game (14) and tied for 5th in sacks.Some fans might say, "but what about Baltimore? They're a good defense and we put 30 points up on them!". Not anymore they aren't. At least not so far this year. In terms of yardage per game, the Ravens are even worse than the Patriots. They are currently ranked 24th in the league, while the Patriots are 22nd. The best measuring stick for the Patriots offense? (which has been praised as even better than the record breaking 2007 one) You're looking at it this week. Seattle in Seattle.Seattle's schedule has had them go up against some offenses that have the ability to explode - the Cowboys, Panthers and Packers - and they have stifled each and every one of them. Obviously all of thos...

Green heads up Javelinas on LSC Top 75 list
Six other former A&M-K stars also honored
Seven former Texas A&I and Texas A&M-Kingsville athletes, including College Football Hall of Famer Darrell Green, were named to the Lone Star Conference's top 75 list from sports other than football and basketball in commemoration of the conference's 75th anniversary.
The ex-Javelinas joining Green, also a standout sprinter at A&I, on the list are softball pitcher Maria Gutierrez, sprinter Earnest Haynes, pole vaulter Matt Hickl, baseball pitcher Garrett Murdy, track and field athlete Lashawndra Ratcliff and cross country runner John Rivera.
The LSC is celebrating its 75th anniversary with tributes to teams and sports personalities. In October, 75 football standouts were honored, including Green, and 75 basketball stars were recognized in January.
The Top 75 all-sports listing includes 32 men's and 23 women's athletes along with 20 coaches from the sports of baseball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Abilene Christian leads the listing with a total of 33 current and former Wildcats. The Javelinas and West Texas A&M (formerly West Texas State) each added seven honorees.
A seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback with the Washington Redskins, Green also shined as a sprinter. He ran a time of 10.08 seconds in the 100 meters in his first meet in 1981, and the mark still stands as the LSC standard. Green also holds LSC marks, set at the conference meet, in the 100 (10.22) and 200 (20.67). His all-time bests in the 200 and 400 were 20.5 and 45.9, respectively. He won five gold medals at LSC meets from 1981-83. Green was on All-America first teams in track and field 10 times and has been inducted into the NCAA Division II Hall of Fame, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, the LSC Hall of Honor and the Javelina Hall of Fame. He is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year.
Gutierrez helped lead the Javs to the 2002 softball crown and into the South Region championship game. She had a career record of 91-34. Among her honors included All-South Region first team, LSC South Division Pitcher of the Year, LSC South Division Freshman of the Year, All-LSC first team three times and LSC tournament MVP.
One of the top sprinters in the country, Haynes tied Bob Hayes' national mark in the 100-yard dash of 9.3 seconds in 1969. The time still stands. Haynes won six LSC golds, four in 1969 when he won the 100 and 220 and ran on the winning 440-yard and mile relays. Hickl still holds the national indoor pole vault record of 18 feet, 1 inch. A three-time NCAA Division II all-American, Hickl won the LSC outdoor pole vault crown in 1998 and 1999.
Drafted by the Houston Astros in 2004, Murdy was the national pitcher of the year that season.
Ratcliff was a nine-time Division II All-American indoors and outdoors.
