WASHINGTON, March 11, 2011 U.S. forces are swinging into action to assist Japan in the wake of a magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck early this morning.
"We are assessing the situation and positioning forces so that they are ready to respond and provide disaster relief if directed," said Navy Cmdr. Leslie Hull-Ryde, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
Japan has requested U.S. assistance through the State Department.
The USS Tortuga, in Sasebo, Japan, is preparing to load landing craft and to leave for the disaster areas as early as this evening.
The USS Essex, with the embarked 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, arrived in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, this morning. The ship is preparing to depart as early as this evening.
The USS Blue Ridge, in Singapore, is taking on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief supplies and preparing to depart tomorrow morning.
The USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group, at sea in the western Pacific on its way to Korea, can respond if directed.
"We are watching the situation closely and will adjust the track as required," Hull-Ryder said.
Earthquake impacts on 7th Fleet, with headquarters in Yokosuka, Japan, include the following:
-- Ships in port in Yokosuka stationed linehandlers to adjust to water-level changes in Yokosuka harbor. No damage has been reported to any of the ships.
-- Ships in Guam have been directed to leave if possible, or to recall personnel and adjust lines during changes in sea level.
-- Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force headquarters in Misawa was briefly evacuated. It is without power and operating from a generator.
-- Amphibious Force headquarters in White Beach, Okinawa, moved its watch to higher ground at Kadena Air Base in preparation for a forecasted tsunami.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake and subsequent tsunami was preceded by a series of large foreshocks over the past two days, beginning on March 9 with a 7.2 magnitude quake 25 miles from today's earthquake, and continuing with another three earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.0 on the same day.
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Eva Beach, Hawaii, has issued a tsunami warning.
"A tsunami has been generated that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in the state of Hawaii," the warning says. "Action should be taken to protect lives and property."
The zone that produced today's earthquake has produced nine temblors of magnitude 7 or greater since 1973. The largest was a December 1994 magnitude 7.8 earthquake 160 miles north of today's quake that killed three people and injured nearly 700.
President Barack Obama issued a statement this morning pledging any help Japan may need from the United States and announcing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is preparing for potential tsunami-response operations in the United States and its territories.
"Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan, particularly those who have lost loved ones in the earthquake and tsunamis," the statement said. "The United States stands ready to help the Japanese people in this time of great trial.
"The friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakeable, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy," Obama added. "We will continue to closely monitor tsunamis around Japan and the Pacific going forward, and we are asking all our citizens in the affected region to listen to their state and local officials as I have instructed FEMA to be ready to assist Hawaii and the rest of the U.S states and territories that could be affected."
Americans in affected areas who need to contact the State Department can do so by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. The State Department also is posting the latest travel information for the affected areas on the World Wide Web and via Twitter.

It was a sad day today for me. I was stationed in Japan in the 70's and liked the Japanese people. Like all civilized people, if you treat them with respect and dignity they return the same.
I am glad to read that our military is coming to the aid of an ally in their time of need. I'm sure they would do the same for us.

Please can I have an update on the status of the USS Boxer? Thank you

Cathy, the USS Germantown is fine and is being used for humanitarian efforts. i have included a link with a list of ships that are being utilized in japan.
God bless

God Bless all of you who are working so hard today. I ask the Lord to look over you and help. I,ll be keeping you in my Prayers tonight.Ramona.

Please give us an update on our servicemen/women in Yokosuka-shi, Kanagawa, Japan.
- Christina, Memphis, TN
U.S. MUST tighten its military defense in Sea of Japan.
Vast amount of Japanese Self Defense Force is being shifted toward the hot area, leaving the China side vulnerable. Any country could take advantage of this situation and attack Japan.
US-Japan Security Treaty has to put into action NOW.
- Nijitoshi Nakajima, United States of America
I am so proud to be an American right now. In the midst of tragedy our men and women go to help out. It was need to see the news reports of many of the navy ships loading up on supplies to help. THANK YOU!!!!
- Eric, Oregon
There was no mention of the USS McCampbell where my son is currently located.
- Leslie Cirelli Arm, Roanoke, VA
Thank you for the update. I would like to hear any news regarding the USS Germantown. I have a son that should be working on that ship. Thank you.
- Cathy Bock, Hickory, NC
Thanks very much for the information in the article. There was no mention of the USS Germantown for which we have personal concern. Can you provide any information regarding the USS Germantown and it's personnel?
- Adam White, Walker, LA
Please post on the Facebook page as to the safety and condition of our family members serving at the air base in Japan. Their families need to know from you and not just count on reports from other families...you are dropping the ball on this. You should have been out ahead of this letting families and the public know that are people are all ok.
- Mike, USA
I am really glad to see this news.
A Japanese media said the Japanese government already made a request.

Night RiteThe new on-campus Skyspace
by James Turrell '65, titled "Dividing the Light," brings together
people from all walks of life for a shared sundown ritual of watching
the sky.
By Mark Kendall
In a gleaming new corner of Pomona's campus awaits a surprising communal
experience of craned necks, heavens-cast eyes and plentiful "oh's."
On crisp winter evenings, while the sun is going down, visitors from
near and far gather on benches beneath a metal canopy that frames
celebrated artist James Turrell '65's new window to the sky. As the
natural light begins to dim, LED lights bathe the canopy in changing
colors, from goldenrod to turquoise. And as the lighting changes, so
does the viewer's perception of that framed sheet of sky. One moment
it's a dreamy lavender, another it's an ominous tablet of black that
seems to hover above on its own accord.
— James Turrell '65 at a symposium held on campus in October as part of the
dedication of his new Skyspace
"Dividing the Light"
THE SKYSPACE EXPERIENCE: Found around the world, from England to Chicago
to Japan, the Skyspaces of James Turrell '65 are precisely designed
architectural installations that heighten the viewer's awareness of
light, sky and the activity of perception.
POMONA'S SKYSPACE: Turrell has created an open courtyard space in which
a floating metal canopy shades the seating area and provides a frame for
the sky. As twilight gives way to night, lighting elements, which change
in intensity and hue as they wash the underside of the canopy, create
the changing perception of sky as space, form, object and void.
"Dividing the Light" is the only publicly accessible Skyspace in
Southern California.
WHERE: The new Skyspace is located in Draper Courtyard of the new
Lincoln and Edmunds buildings, at the corner of Sixth Street and College
WHEN: The lighting programs are keyed to sunset and sunrise. The evening
program begins about 25 minutes before sunset and continues for about an
hour. Another lighting program begins 100 minutes before sunrise.
Between the sunset and sunrise programs the canopy of the Skyspace is
illuminated. Every hour on the hour there is a three-minute chime of
light. Groups of 10 or more must make arrangements with the Pomona
College Museum of Art. (909-621-8283).
DONORS: Contributors who helped fund the Skyspace included Michael D.
and Laura Kemper Fields, James M. Kemper, Jr., the David Woods Kemper
Memorial Foundation, the William T. Kemper Foundation, Helen Pashgian
'56, Ronald Lee Fleming '63 and James Corcoran.
AT THE MUSEUM: In honor of the new Skyspace, the Pomona College Museum
of Art is presenting James Turrell at Pomona College, an exhibition
uniting the various threads of Turrell's artistic practice. The
exhibition includes End Around, one of the artist's Ganzfeld works; two
LED Tall Glass works from 2006, Gathered Light and Silent Leading; and a
selection of models
and drawings. The exhibition continues through May 17.
THE PRESS: In the Los Angeles Times, David Pagel called the Skyspace
"one of the best works of public art in recent memory." He added: "For
nearly 40 years, James Turrell has been making art out of little more
than thin air—at least that's how his indoor and outdoor installations
feel when you give yourself over to their dazzling attractions. Think of
his super-refined Minimalism as a spa for consciousness: an urbane oasis
and thinking citizen's entertainment center all rolled into one
impeccably designed whole that is both elegant and spectacular."

President Barack Obama Wednesday unveiled a package of gun control measures developed by Vice President Joe Biden's special committee.
Among the things he's asking Congress for are universal background checks on gun buyers that would close a loophole that allows for private gun sales to occur without the checks, and a ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The president also announced that he's implementing 23 executive orders on the issue, including measures to encourage schools to hire police officers, and requiring federal agencies to make more data available for background checks.
Among Nebraska's all-Republican Congressional delegation, Senator Mike Johanns had the most measured response…although all of them promised to carefully review any specific legislation when it comes before them while emphasizing their commitment to protecting the Second Amendment.
Johanns says "we all share the same goal of reducing gun violence…but placing a heavier burden on responsible gun owners will do little to prevent troubled individuals from carrying out violent acts."
Johanns says that "as sound" as the intent of Mr Obama's unilateral executive actions may be, the president has a responsibility to fully explain them "because their implementation deals directly with the freedoms enshrined in our nation's founding documents."
He also echoes the position taken by National Rifle Association leaders since the Connecticut shootings by saying that there needs to be "an honest conversation about violence and how to prevent it"…including addressing "the glorification of violence in movies and video games, as well as our society's understanding of mental health care issues."
3rd District Congressman Adrian Smith calls reducing violence "a necessary goal", but is concerned the President's plan would "do nothing to address the underlying causes of violence" but "would infringe on the Second Amendment…calling it "yet another instance of the President bypassing Congress to impose his agenda.
Senator Deb Fischer says she doesn't think guns are causing the violence in America…calling it "an emotional response when people look at guns as the culprit." She says the culture of violence…including movies and video games…should be looked at in a comprehensive bill that also addresses mental health needs in a step by step approach."

Assume sound quality is equal: Digital or Analog?

Re: Assume sound quality is equal: Digital or Analog?
The binary system of digital recording is, in a way, identical to analog tape. Instead of ones and zeros, tiny magnetic poles on the tape are turned from "off" negative to "on" positive (or is it the other way around, I can't remember...). So, the OP's superstition is unnecessary (as superstitions tend to be).
It has long been known that tape compression/saturation, and the harmonics imparted by preamps and mixing consoles are responsible for analog's desirability. But every year a new plug-in arrives to emulate these features, and they sound better and better. Initially, crappy AD and DA converters and jittery wordclocks were to blame (and you can still find crappy converters in consumer stereos), but that's been addressed in recording interfaces.
The one failure of digital as a medium is monitor mixing. Sending a signal through a computer, and then back into a pair of headphones takes a few milliseconds, whereas in analog the task is instantaneous. As computer processing power continues to increase, though, this becomes less and less of an issue as well.

See, even Giraffe's don't like spiders….Hahahah
I couldn't help but pass this along, I'm not awfully fond of spiders and just seeing this was funny. So we all have phobia's – so we need to avoid those things or put up with them. Your choice. Read a previous blog on Phobia's and fears…

Fear and Phobia's.
I watch way to much television, Hoarders got me to thinking about the way of life. What makes a person hoard, gamble, drink or whatever? Some deep seated neuosis similar to what I get everytime I see a spider Arachnephobia or Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders . So I thought maybe we could look at some those phobia's names. I didn't tknow there were so many…
Agrizoophobia- Fear of wild animals.
Bacteriophobia- Fear of bacteria.
Chiroptophobia- Fear of bats.
Cnidophobia- Fear of stings.
Isopterophobia- Fear of termites, insects that eat wood.
Katsaridaphobia- Fear of cockroaches.
Pediculophobia- Fear of lice.
Spheksophobia- Fear of wasps
I'm sure I think I have a few more now that I have seen the Phobia List – Ablutophobia – fear of cleaning or Ergophobia- fear of work, many people are afflected by these phobias and thankfully my only one is spiders and maybe heights…

In a previous post, I mentioned that I'm creating some posts on my "Week of Wonders" blog for issue-oriented documentaries. The first topic is something we can all relate to: safe and healthy FOOD. If you are a filmmaker with a film on this topic, please write to me so that I can include it. Distributors and exhibitors are also welcome to write me. I already have a few really great docs to recommend, and some links to guide us on how to get involved. (This is going to be a journey into my own activism, too!)
CALL OUT TO FILMMAKERS: Please write me at email@example.com if you're working on a film or have one finished on the topic of FOOD, so I can include it in the next column.

Websites and Databases
Howdy =)
I'm creating a website with a backend database.
Basically it's for a car company where eventually, the company will be able to add, delete and edit cars for sale on their website. Each car will have a spec given to them, along with a picture. I'd also like to insert a search facility on the homepage as well (IE: Car make/used or new car etc)
Just wondering how hard this is and if anyone is familiar with any websites where I'm able to get a bit more information on how to set this up.
I'd like to introduce you to the Open Source world. I have a few websites setup right now using Joomla, an Open Source content management system that is a breeeeze to use. I'd highly recommend checking it out, www.joomla.com. They have hundreds of components and modules that you can add to it to customize it to your liking. Just to give you a sense...
Both are developed using joomla and additional components that I downloaded.
Let me know if you have any questions, but I would recommend Joomla.
Yeah, I agree 110% For what you just described Joomla is the way to go.
It's free, stable, and customizable to your hearts content. I'd also recommend a module called Hot Property that would run your 'shop'. The search feature in it is beyond anything else I've seen yet.
AND, check out this host company:
They cheap, they provide huge accounts with a bunch of add on domains (host like 6 site off one account). And the best part is they have this thing called "fantastico" that auto installs Joomla for you. It's as easy as it gets. Not to mention their support is beyond compare.
Even though I can read/tweak code I rarely do anymore b/c with Joomla there's little reason beyond hacks to look at code. Good luck!
This may sound dumb so I apologizes in advance,
But how do you use Joomla? I downloaded it and have just got a folder full of php, html files?

Dancing With The Stars
DWTS All-Stars Week 4 Sneak Peek: New Dance Styles Even Have Some Pros Nervous
Last week on Dancing With the Stars Season 15, there were four Paso Dobles, two Quicksteps and two Cha-Cha-Chas. On the Season 15, Week 4: Performance show (live on October 15), the All-Stars are all doing something different — way different. This time, the dance styles aren't just new to the celebs, they are also new to a few of the pros!
The styles were chosen in a quick 10-second burst during the DWTS Week 3 Results Show. The couples had to choose for someone else, so they had no say in what they received themselves. Sadly, Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower were given Broadway but were eliminated later that night, so we won't get a Broadway routine. (Sniff!) On the Red Carpet talked to the remaining All-Stars after Tuesday's show to see what they planned to do with their dance style gifts/curses. As you can imagine, some couples are thrilled with what they got and others are wondering how in the world they'll survive to Week 5. Read on for details.
Gilles Marini & Peta Murgatroyd, Bollywood
Their song is from Slumdog Millionaire. Gilles said he wants authentic, respectful, beautiful Bollywood costumes. He wants to make sure everyone says "wow" and thinks they look like professional Bollywood dancers.
"I'm going to have to look like a pro," Gilles said, "and for the first time ever on the show, the pro has never done [the dance style] either!" That may not be true. On Season 9, for example, DWTS got way funky and included the Charleston, Two-Step, Lambada, Bolero, Jitterbug and Mambo. We're not sure all the pros had done those styles before.
Peta just quietly lets Gilles talk and talk in their videos. He can say what he wants, but she's the boss! Gilles said he learned this week that maybe he gave too much in his performance. Peta promised, "The adrenaline won't take over this week. We're going to be chilled and collected." We love your passion, Gilles, but she's right!
Sabrina Bryan & Louis van Amstel, Disco
Sabrina is the only one in the competition who knows what it feels like to go home — everyone else made it to the finals. Being in the bottom two lit a fire under Louis's butt. He wants to impress everyone and make sure judge Carrie Ann Inaba doesn't complain about being underwhelmed. "Next week we're going to come back," he said. "Disco — you kidding me? We're going to the 70s."
Sabrina said she's going to channel in "Mr. Travolta" for their Disco dance. "I'm so excited," she said. "Actually, my mom and dad took disco dancing lessons when they first got married, so that is so cool!"
On a different note, why did they give Kirstie the Charleston, not the other style still available, Rock & Roll? Sabrina said the Charleston is such a character dance and she pictured Kirstie having fun doing the cutesy thing. Rock & Roll is one of the fastest dances on the planet, Louis said. They wanted to take it easy on Kirstie. But, Louis added, Maks has never done the Charleston and doesn't even know what it looks like!
Watch their video here.
Shawn Johnson & Derek Hough, Mambo
Derek was a little bummed to get Mambo. He wanted an even bigger challenge — something new like Bollywood or Contemporary that he had never done on the show before. "But we're happy with Mambo," he said. (Why wasn't he paired with Bristol? Or Pamela Anderson? Just saying, if he likes a challenge...)
Shawn said she's a little intimidated because, up to this point, she's just been able to get out there and have fun, and now she'll have to play a part. "Mambo is a bit more sexy," Derek explained. Shawn tried to make a sexy face and just giggled.
Emmitt Smith & Cheryl Burke, Bolero
What is the Bolero? "It's sexy, but it's very intimate," Cheryl said. "It's like a Rumba and a Waltz mixed together, basically."
Hmm. That's not a natural fit for these two, but they can make anything work. They're nervous because two champions just left — including one of Cheryl's past champions, Drew Lachey — so they feel like they have to really shine. Emmitt said they can stand out by doing something surprising that no one would expect him to do.
Watch their video here.
Apolo Anton Ohno & Karina Smirnoff, Hip Hop
These two are crazy goofballs. They giggle their way through their OTRC video, with tons of energy.
Karina said Apolo's favorite artist is Frank Sinatra. He's not familiar with a lot of modern songs. So maybe Hip Hop wasn't the best choice for them. (But what about his Freestyle with Julianne Hough? That was Hip Hop, right?) Karina loves Hip Hop music, but choreographing to that style is different.
Still, Apolo promises a good time. "Our dance was so slow [Monday] night that I think this is a perfect contrast," he said. "I guarantee you will say, when this song comes on, you will catch yourself, like, moving." They illustrate by bopping their heads.
Watch their video here.
Kelly Monaco & Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Contemporary
Val has seen Contemporary routines, but he's never danced that style before. Needless to say, neither has Kelly.
Val: "What I like about Contemporary is that it seems very free. It allows for a lot more..."
Kelly [covering her face]: "Ugh! That's exactly what I'm not."
Val: "It's going to be good. It's all about chemistry and the emotional story you create on the floor. I like that. There's no real technique."
This is Kelly's worst nightmare. She likes to know what to expect. With this, there's no structure or roadmap to follow. But maybe it's good, she allowed, so they can make up their own rules. Val sounds more excited about it — including the possibility of doing lifts and whatnot.
Still, if she wants a roadmap, she should watch clips of So You Think You Can Dance.
Watch their video here.
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Charleston
Sabrina and Louis wanted to be nice to give Kirstie and Maks the Charleston, but the receiving couple was not too thrilled. Still, the only other option at the time was Rock & Roll and Maks said that was no good either, because they only had one half of that. Kirstie knocked on his head and said "Rock!"
So how are they going to handle the Charleston?
Kirstie: "Charleston? Look, I looked at the list and if I had had my choice I would've chosen Bollywood. But he didn't want Bollywood."
Maks: "But It's not like we had a choice."
Kirstie: "I know, Maks. I didn't say we had a choice, I said IF I had a choice I would do Bollywood because I can slightly — I can belly dance and I can do a lot of hips and stuff like that. Charleston, I don't know. We're going to have to channel the Gatsbys — who fought all the time and tried to commit suicide because they were so evil to each other. Which is similar to us."
Ha! Their whole video is hilarious. Watch it here.
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas, Rock & Roll
Rock & Roll was the last style on the list but, the way Mark describes it, it sounds perfect for him.
"It's exciting for me," Mark said. "I'm a huge rock 'n' roll fan. I grew up listening to Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Little Richard. I love the Jive and it's kind of just a loose Jive, you can do lifts, you can do tricks. Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Swing — it's all kind of just a mixture of '50s dancing." He compared it to Grease in a way.
Bristol sees the bright side of this, since it's something brand new for everyone and it evens out the playing field.

Hitler was a bad person but he also did a lot of good. He brought Germany out of the horrible state it was in after WW1 single handedly. They were suffering in a recession and improved his citizens quality of life. He was a WW1 veteran also. For ***** sake, he was time magazine's man of the year before and was on the cover more than once... He did some good things and he did some bad things. Germany was a wreck after WW1 with all the sanctions and new rules they had to abide by. He made them a super power once again.

Oh how wrong you are anon. First off, after ww1 inflation in Germany went through the roof, which made repaying the war reparations easy (since a currency clause wasn't part of the peace treaty). Second, the US and other countries invested a large amount of money (via cheap loans) into Germany fearing the USSR and communism. Hitler created an economy that would have soon crumbled if there wasn't any war since it depended heavily on military industry.

ALFRED, NY – Alfred University's Pat Smithgall scored 17 points and hauled in a game high 26 rebounds to help the Saxons hold off Hilbert College 79-77 in overtime Tuesday night at the McLane Center. The win improves Alfred to 1-2 on the season while Hilbert falls to 1-1.
Trailing 64-49 with 5:18 to play, Hilbert mounted an enormous come back as a Michael Reyes (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon) four-point play gave the Hawks a 70-69 lead with :51 remaining. The Saxons made three free throws in the final :36 to regain the lead at 72-70 before Hilbert's Dallas Reinard (Smethport, PA/Smethport) raced 94 feet to connect on a lay-up with 1.8 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, both teams took turns holding the lead and the score was tied for the 11th time at 77-77 with 2:21 to play. Hilbert failed to score on their next two possessions and Alfred connected on some timely foul shooting down the stretch to go up 79-77 with :03 remaining. A desperation heave by Reinard came up short as time expired.
"We showed a lot of guts coming back in the final minutes," said Hilbert coach Rob deGrandpre. "Unfortunately we couldn't keep them off the boards, and they made us pay for it." The Saxons held a 59-38 rebounding advantage with 24 coming on the offensive end.
Hilbert held a 31-27 lead at the half and held Alfred to just 21% shooting from the field during the first 20 minutes of play. The Saxons erupted for 45 second half points and shot 55% in the second stanza.
Reinard finished with a game-high 28 points followed by Corey Vander Sluis (Syracuse, NY/West Genesee) who recorded 15 points and a team-high 16 boards for the Hawks. Glen Ufland (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon) connected on four three-pointers and finished with 14 points while Reyes rounded out the visitor's double-digit scoring with 13 markers.
The Hawks will return home to face Keuka College (2-1) on Monday, November 27th at 7:00 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

Civic Media Session: "Mapping Media Ecosystems"
Hal Roberts, Erhardt Graeff, Gilad Lotan
This session looks beyond platforms to explore the concept of media ecosystems. How do we understand, map, visualize, and ultimately shape the flow of texts across an increasingly diverse and complex media ecosystem? What are the relationships between professional and citizen, participatory and broadcast media? How do we understand what people are encountering, both in terms of supply (tools like Media Cloud that examine what's published) and demand (tracking/logging efforts that look at individual or group consumption?
Hal Roberts is a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. He studies various issues around the flow and control of content online, including Internet filtering and circumvention, online surveillance, distributed denial of service attacks, and new media. Hal has worked on the technical side of many Berkman projects over the years, including H2O, Weblogs at Harvard Law, and Global Voices Online.
Erhardt Graeff is a founding member of the Web Ecology Project and a research assistant on the Good Participation and GoodPlay projects at Harvard Project Zero. His research focuses on questions of internet and society with a heavy emphasis on civic engagement, digital inequality, education, journalism/media, and social capital. Additionally, Erhardt is the co-founder of BetterGrads, an online college mentoring organization, and a founding trustee of The Awesome Foundation, which gives monthly grants to awesome projects. He has an M.Phil. in Modern Society and Global Transformations (i.e. sociology) from the University of Cambridge and bachelor's degrees in information technology and international studies from Rochester Institute of Technology. Erhardt's personal website is erhardtgraeff.com. On Twitter he's @erhardt.
Gilad Lotan is the VP of Research and Development for SocialFlow, where he utilizes data driven approaches to draw insight and understanding from social streams. Previously, Gilad served as a program manager at Microsoft's FUSE labs. Past work includes 'Retweet Revolution', visualizing the flow of information during the 2009 #IranElection riots, and a 2011 IJOC study investigating the relationship between mainstream media and social media channels during the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions. Gilad's work has been presented at TED, IXDA, Summit Series, Berkeley BCNM, Boston Book Festival, and published at HICCS, CHI and Ubicomp.

SOUTH WHITLEY — Phase II of the waste water treatment facility project continues to prosper as project manager David Harvey with Fleis and Vandenbrink presented the South Whitley town council with partial payment application number three to Gerig-Ottenweller, who is the contractor for the project.
Fleis and Vandenbrink provides a wide-range of service for municipal, industrial, institutional, commercial and private development clients.
"I have partial payment application number three for Gerig-Ottenweller who is the contractor for the waste water treatment plant and it's in the amount of $13,080," Harvey said. "We had a progress meeting on Tuesday with the contractor and we are at the point where we are going to start doing color selection on the buildings out at the treatment plant as far as the blacktop, the shingles, doors and those type of things."
Council President Tony Starkey questioned if the $13,080 was budgeted in the original quote.
"We had specified around a shingle roof and an alternate bid price they (Gerig-Ottenweller) provided in their bid from way back in October for a stain and seam metal roof," Harvey said. With three bids received, Gerig-Ottenweller was awarded the Phase II project with a bid of $3,087,000 for the main project with an alternate bid of $27,000 for material revisions.

Looking for land to buy or garden plot to rent in Missoula area

Feb 09, 2012 19:02:36
First of all, I'm looking for 5-10+ acres to buy in the Missoula area. I will use it primarily for subsistence farming and building an off grid permanent home for my family. I would like a plot within 30 miles of Missoula with varied terrain or south-facing slope, access to water, and no covenants. Is there anyone out there that wants to sell or knows of any available
? I've been looking through traditional methods but haven't found anything great yet so thought I would put this out here.
I'm also looking for a place to garden this summer. I have done a plot in the community gardens with Garden City Harvest (and I think it's a really great organization!), but I'm interested in growing a larger percentage of my food this year and the plots aren't big enough for my needs. If there's anyone out there who would be interested in a mutually-beneficial partnership? You own the land, I'll do the work, we both get veggies? All of my
practices are considered
in every detail. I'd also be willing to pay a certain amount to rent a good garden space, but be reasonable as I'm trying to be very frugal!
Please let me know if you are interested or if you know of any resources that might be helpful to my endeavors. Thank you!!

have you had any luck finding a place to buy or to garden? i don't have much to offer but i am renting a place where i am planning on putting in a big garden with the hopes of putting up a lot of food for the off season. i have the room and the time and a little gardening experience, but i am sure i could benefit from a more experienced gardening partner.

hey Jen!
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I don't get on the computer too often. I have already found a place to garden, which is too bad because your idea sounds really nice! I found a
that I'm going to convert into garden space, 36' x 36' plus another little spot too. I'm not an incredibly experienced gardener, but I've been doing it for a few years now and have been doing TONS of research about gardening in the last two years. So I
have some knowledge that you don't, and I'd always be willing to come by and help out, I love making connections with other gardeners and I like to do digging and other random garden work (for my muscles!). Maybe we could work it out so we trade some crops at some point? I know I'll be growing lentils, which are great for winter storing/eating, and I should have some extra to trade in fall... but I know that I probably won't be growing too many
or peppers...
Just ideas. Let me know what you think!

ABINGDON, Va. — One Virginia father is taking the phrase "daddy's little princess" to the next level.
Jeremiah Heaton, of Abingdon, is trying to claim previously unclaimed land in Africa, in order to make a new kingdom for his daughter.
" I planted this flag in the Eastern African region of Bir Tawil to honor a promise I made to my daughter," Heaton posted on his Facebook page in June. "Emily, like most little girls, has a dream to become a princess. While playing one day she stopped and posed a question, 'Daddy, will I ever be a real princess?' The only answer I could give my sweet little girl was 'Yes, of course you will be a princess one day!' As a father I do my very best to not make empty promises to my children. At the time I had no idea how I would honor her wish but I knew that I had to find a way."
So Heaton laid claim to 800 square miles of land in eastern Africa. He said he hoped countries in the area will recognize him, in order to make the claim legitimate. If it all goes through, his seven-year-old daughter Emily will become princess.
"Over the years a few arm-chair explorers have attempted to 'claim' Bir Tawil by simply writing a blog entry or creating a website. These half-hearted, illegitimate claims have not been recognized by any government," he wrote. "Today, with the full support of the Egyptian government, I traveled 14 hours through the open desert to reach Bir Tawil. Once in the Bir Tawil region, I planted a flag, designed by my children and made a physical claim on the land. Therefore, so be it proclaimed on June 16, 2014, Emily's 7th birthday, that Bir Tawil shall be forever known as the Kingdom of North Sudan. The Kingdom is established as a sovereign monarchy with myself as the head of state; with Emily becoming an actual Princess ."
The unclaimed land lies just between Egypt and Sudan.
He's already designed a flag and proclaimed the area, "Heaton Kingdom."

This is not exactly a radical position Sen. Merkley has carved out here. His predecessor, Sen. Gordon Smith, endorsed the Employment Nondescrimination Act (ENDA) in 1997. Since then many states, including Oregon, have added sexual orientation to the list of characteristics upon which employers may not discriminate although, as Sen. Merkley and this article point out, the majority of states still don't have such laws.
One problem you identify, Steve, is school closures due to declining school enrollment which isn't just about housing for poor people but housing appropriate for families with school-aged children generally. Here in Eugene we have the same problem although we've have done more, and continue to do more, to provide low-income housing than Lake Oswego.
Not long ago, while the Eugene School District enrollment was declining the Springfield and Bethel districts were growing. Now the Eugene and Springfield districts are both declining while Bethel has stabilized but the Creswell School District has been one of the fastest growing in the state.
Your idea that we can shoehorn the poor into stable, aging communities with declining school enrollment may have theoretical appeal but I would be interested in an example of where that has worked. It takes more to change the demographics of a community than subsidized housing.
This is actually a phenomenon that is happing in urban areas throughout the state. It is in large part a function of our conscious policy to promote livibility by limiting growth. I'm guessing, Steve, that when you moved into Lake Oswego there were a lot of other parents with kids about the same age as yours. They attended great schools and enjoyed a great quality of life.
Now you and they have seen your kids grow up and leave the nest. But you and your'e wife aren't leaving. You probably intend to continue to enjoy that quality of life for years to come as empty-nesters. Where, then, are the next wave of families with school-aged kids supposed to live? The combination of relatively few existing homes on the market and limited new construction make the housing that is available very expensive.
The idea that the right mix of public policies can solve every problem is naive, but even where it has a kernel of truth there has to be a realization of what kinds of policies it would take to do so and the implications those policies would have on other deeply held community values. In other words, it calls for a serious conversation not a battle of sound bites. And frankly Joe Stiglitz has little or nothing to offer in that conversation.
Actually, although Mitt Romney's parents were quite wealthy, they intentionally did not leave any money to Mitt because he had already made a larger fortune himself.
Not that any of this should matter. We all inherit a lot of things from our parents which help make us what we are, for better or worse.
Great column, Steve. One of the most salient points you make that can't be emphasized enough is the extent to which our children's protective services has basically written off teenagers. Why this has not received more attention--and provoked any outrage at all--is beyond my comprehension.
Kokonut is right, Republicans were in control of both houses when my proposal to make the head of the Bureau of Labor and Industries appointed rather than elected (but not to eliminate it altogether) was voted down. I'll never forget one Republican state senator saying, "I'd rather have the Democrats spend money trying to elect a labor commissioner than have them spend money electing Democrats to the legislature."
Which is a good reason to change federal immigration law to treat same-sex domestic partnerships as equivalent to marriage for immigration purposes. That could be part of the whole Defense of Marriage Act repeal/reform effort that is already being considered. Rather than having the federal government refuse to recognize gay marriage (which the Obama Administration already considers to be unconstitutional and won't defend in court) the law could be changed to have the federal treatment of gay marriages follow their treatment under the law of the domicile of the parties, and also include same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships as the equivalent of marriage for all purposes of federal law.
The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require states to go to voters to amend their constitutions with the most recent examples of North Carolina and even California in mind.
"Seems" meaning that I can't think of an example of rights that a married couple has in Oregon that same-sex domestic partners don't have. Can you?
"Or how much longer Roger and Jeannie Woehl's daughter, Carmen, must remain in Sweden because that country recognizes her lesbian spouse and the state of Oregon doesn't."
I agree with your overall point, Steve, about the inexorable shift in public opinion. But I'd like to know exactly what legal rights Carmen Woehl and her lesbian spouse will be giving up if they moved to Oregon? Oregon's domestic partnership statute seems to give such couples all of the legal rights of a married couple.
The question facing Oregon seems to be, "Should we bide our time until the Oregon constitution can be amended in a fairly routine vote or should be have another divisive vote now when the outcome is uncertain and the debate itself may inflict needless pain and anguish on young people struggling with their sexuality."
There is a reason why bans on interracial marriage weren't declared unconstitutional until 1969, after virtually every other form of racial discrimination was overturn by the courts or Congress. Yet when that decision came down in Loving v. Virginia it was largely greeted with a yawn, as if people couldn't believe such laws still existed.
It's very difficult to predict the outcome even under the current Classen standard.
Judge Brewer largely bases his opinion on the fact that the issue of the reliability of this eyewitness was contested by counsel for the defendant and the trial judge obviously felt there was sufficient evidence and argument on both sides to permit the jury to decide on the reliability of the testimony.
Judge Sercombe, while conceding "this case is a close one" nonetheless concluded "that the state failed to meet its burden of proof" and therefore under Classen the eyewitness testimony should have been barred altogether.
The interesting question, in my opinion, is to what extent the Oregon Supreme Court decides to consider the growing debate across the country on the reliability of eyewitness testimony generally and, if they do, whether that will cause them to raise the Classen standard from here on out. If they do, I predict the verdict will be overturned.
If not, even under the existing Classen standard, I think it's still a dice roll which side prevails but more likely than not the verdict stands for the reasons Judge Brewer gave.
For a more, albeit more technical, discussion of the issues Steve has presented in this case you can read both Judge Brewer's majority opinion and Judge Sercombe's dissent at http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/Publications/A132640.htm.
Both agree on the proper standard to be applied but disagree on the result that standard should produce in this case. That standard was first set forth in the Oregon Supreme Court's opinion in State v. Classen, in accordance with the U. S. Supreme Court's application of federal constitutional standards. Don't be surprised if the Oregon Supreme Court doesn't take another look at the standard itself based on their tendency since the 1980s to give an independent interpretation to Oregon constitutional provisions even when they mirror that of the U.S. constitution.
The final irony here is that both Judges Brewer and Sercombe will likely be elected to the Oregon Supreme Court this year, although neither will participate in this case on appeal in any event.
So what exactly are the contemporaneous writings you would point to that explain the different interpretation of Oregon's Article I, section 9 by the Oregon Supreme Court? (By the way, as I'm sure you know, the Federalist Papers were written before the adoption of the bill of rights, including the Fourth Amendment, so I'm not sure they'd be much help in interpreting that provision of the U. S constitution, either.)
I'm not an originalist or literalist when it comes to constitutional interpretation but neither do I believe anyone should just make things up and then claim it's in the document. Both the Oregon Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to interpret their respective constitutions, but when they interpet the same language in very different ways they should admit they simply disagree and not pretend the difference is found in the documents.
I hate to let reality impinge on a good rant, but why would KGW co-sponsor a poll and then agree to let the Oregonian scoop them by several hours, thereby allowing the other TV and radio stations scoop them as well?
I don't think I'll ever forget the line, "How could anyone be too unattractive to be onstage with this horse-faced creep with a bad toupee?"
Actually, I think you proved my point in saying the substantive provisions of the Oregon constitution were lifted word for word out of the U.S. Constitution. All the Oregon constitution does is add "No law shall violate" in front of the 4th Amendment language.
And my guess is you'd find no court decisions interpreting the meaning of the 4th amendment during the seventy year period before the Oregon constitution was enacted. In fact, that Oregon provision was interpreted exactly the way the 4th amendment was interpreted until the 1980s, when the Oregon Supreme Court began to chart its separate course when interpreting state constitutional provisions that largely mirrored the U. S. constitution.
I guess this is more proof that I'm just as boring and nerdy as David Sarasohn but I found this piece wuite interesting.
The only thing I would add is that the substantive language of Article I, Section 9 of the Oregon Constitution was lifted verbatim from the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The much-celebrated "difference" between the two constitutional provisions is exclusively in the different ways the Oregon Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court have interpreted the identical language.
The aim of this program is to implement a system that will allow us to bend the cost curve of health care down without sacrificing (and hopefully while improving) the outcomes from that system. This is one-time money but it is coming at exactly the right time to allow us to invest in changing the health care system without forcing us to continue to inflict deeper and deeper cuts in that system to fund the reform.
There is a lot more work to be done but without these funds and those changes, we were prepared to keep slashing Medicaid reimbursement rates until there would be virtually no health care for the indigent outside of emergency rooms, who are legally prohibited from turning people away. This is not the final answer by any means. But I do believe it is a very significant start.
This is one of those rare occasions when reality matches the rhetoric. It is a huge victory for Governor Kitzhaber and for Oregon. The bipartisan leadership of the Oregon legislature also deserves credit for not akkiwubg even legitimate and deeply-felt policy disagreements to block the adoption of the critical legislative enactments necessary to establish the programs that made this grant possible and which in turn will be made possible by this grant.
Everyone should put the partisan sniping aside for now and take time to celebrate a big, big win.
I assume the mayor will have to ask the council to approve any diversion of funds to the school. I also assume he is confident that if the deal is indeed made, the council will approve it. And I assume he's right.

Maligi says family, opportunity reason for move to SMU
Houston assistant coach Ulric Maligi accepted a position on Larry Brown's new coaching staff at SMU on Thursday morning, but it was by no means an easy decision for the 27-year-old up-and-comer. Maligi, who has been with the Cougars for two seasons under head coach James Dickey, said that family, location and the opportunity both financially and professionally was what made the Mustangs' offer hard to turn down.

From a Defense Department News Release
WASHINGTON, June 22, 2010 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates issued a statement today regarding a profile article on Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, commander of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Video
Here is the secretary's statement:
"I read with concern the profile piece on Gen. Stanley McChrystal in the upcoming edition of 'Rolling Stone' magazine. I believe that Gen. McChrystal made a significant mistake and exercised poor judgment in this case. We are fighting a war against al Qaeda and its extremist allies, who directly threaten the United States, Afghanistan, and our friends and allies around the world. Going forward, we must pursue this mission with a unity of purpose. Our troops and coalition partners are making extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our security, and our singular focus must be on supporting them and succeeding in Afghanistan without such distractions. Gen. McChrystal has apologized to me and is similarly reaching out to others named in this article to apologize to them as well. I have recalled Gen. McChrystal to Washington to discuss this in person."
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Although, the General might have thought his comments were off the record, his frustraion with the results he was obtaining became obvious, The sad thing about Generals who sincerely express their feelings about strategy and feel that they have no support from our civilian government and are removed , yes rightfully so, is the demoralizing effect on the troops under their command. If only politics could remain separated from war fighting, but it has now become a neccessity for a Commnding General to be an excellent tactician as well as an astute politician to suceed. Ike was not a warrior but he was one of a politician as confimred when he later ran and won the Presidency and perhaps he is the kind of General these type of wars need
and surrounded by wariior Generals who are at their best at fighting wars and not politicians.
- afl, ohio
Just read complete controversial RS article on subj; would like to offer my two cents:
With assets of $1 Trillion in mineral wealth - operational priority's should be given to:
1] map 2] protect 3] sell the mineral rights to enable Afghanistan to be left to it's own device's. Nothing at all against COIN, but in the absence of any alternative being publicly discussed, this is mine; Oplan Mine Sweep. If the enemy are so tough, let them muscle in on legitimate business related activity, like everywhere else in the world does, of which there will be a substantial amount. The people will look up to people who succeed, have influence, and generate abundant financial activity. Not anarchists, thugs and charlatans. History shows that money conquers all, and a trillion bucks, properly utilized over time, should be enough in the timetable allotted by our civilian leadership.
- JD LaViola, North New Jersey
Diplomatic . . . No.
Appropriate in this context or medium . . . No again.
Straight up honest . . . Yes indeed.
- Mike Allen, New York
The statement by Sec. Gates speaks of "unity of purpose" and supporting our troops and allies. I would remind you that in 2009, Gen. McChrystal asked for more troops. The response from the civilian leadership took weeks and resulted in fewer troops than he requested. This delay and rebuff to the general's request illustrated a total lack of unity and support.
The war in Afghanistan has been under-resourced from the beginning with the result that the Al-Qaeda leadership escaped and the Taliban is as strong in some parts of Afghanistan as they were nine years ago.
Please demonstrate the support and unity you call on from others. Don't micro-manage the war from Washington. Put politics aside and give the general and the troops what they need.
- Bert Harwell, Birmingham, AL
It is good that you, as Defense Secretary Mr. Gates, stand behind the General in this regard. We are currently in war status which many civilians (or people that do not have an understanding of our history - military or otherwise) do not comprehend. We need to stand together as a nation unified so that we do not succumb to any rogue nations or terrorist acts. Some of us that survived 9/11 do still remember and honor all that the military sacrifices on our behalf!
- Drew Hodgdon, Kansas City, MO
This situation sounds like a case of political scapegoating. The General is obviously unhappy with the current state of affairs and likewise he feels like no body was listening to his concerns. Resigning and walking out on the troops there now would be far worse than what he did. He is a warrior, he took the initiative to make an issue out of this for the troops best wellfare. He is not a career politician and likewise he is a guy that is accustomed to taking on issues agressively and decisively. No one can say he didn't attack his concerns agressively. Maybe a bit awkward, maybe not the best way procedurally but one thing is for sure he returned the focus on the mission in Afganistan. For that General McChrystal I salute you.
- Barry, panama City FL
Dear Secretary Gates,
I believe that General McChrystal should be dismissed from the U S Army. The U S cannot afford to have such generals in such vital positions.
I lived in Pakistan for many years and saw the effects of having generals who dominate the discourse and the resources of the nation, and who feel that they can displace civilian governments.
Our generals should only execute the policies set by our elected president and vice president. They should not publicly ridicule or question the competence of our leaders. It is extremely dangerous to have such generals in our military.
This is not about embarrassing a few leaders. This is about the integrity of our form of government. It is about maintaining elected civilian leadership of our nation.
It is time for General McChrystal to step down.
We have far too many problems in Afghanistan without having to deal with this kind of arrogance and hubris.
- Joyce Ramay, Fort Myers, Florida
Two of the greatest military leaders of our nation's history risked their entire military reputations in the face of their leaders in order to prove a point, to right an injustice, and to protect their soldiers.
Today, as a result, airpower is the determinant factor in the success of any military confrontation (Billy Mitchell, court-martialed); and we will never know what could have been if we'd actually been successful in Korea (Douglas MacArthur, fired).
What shall we inscribe in our nation's annals for the future generations when considering the yet unwritten history of our military's current challenges within their own ranks and in the world's eyes?
What has happened to the Generals who risk themselves to protect principles? Perhaps McChrystal is the last of that breed?
- Rich, Montello, WI
Yes, McChrystal made a terrible mistake...he told the truth.
- Sue, Oregon
The General has committed an offense that cannot be tolerated by the President. He must be fired. The question is, what were his motives? This is not the first time he has chosen to go first to the press around the chain of command, casting doubt as to his reported intellect. He has brought dishonor and discredit upon himself and those he leads. This action should end his career. What a shame. His mea culpa after the fact should not exonerate him. He has undermined the credibility of his Commander-in-Chief and the Administration through his willful disregard of the chain of command and his inappropriate use of the media to make his case. This is a particularly sad state of affairs given the faith the President placed in him to lead the war effort, which is not going well.
