Prior to the 2014-15 academic year, it was announced that Harwick would assume the role as the The Marjorie and Herbert Chase '30 Director of Track & Field and Cross Country, overseeing both the men's and women's programs.
Harwick's teams have enjoyed tremendous success at Dartmouth. In cross country, Dartmouth won Heptagonal titles in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2006. The squad has also advanced to the NCAA championships in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2006 and 2013. In 1994, the Big Green won the Heps with record-low 23 points, as well as the New England and NCAA District 1 championships. In track, the Big Green won the New England outdoor championship in 1994 and 1995 and were runner-ups in 1999, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
Several athletes under his guidance have earned numerous All-American honors in cross country and track. In the spring of 2007, one of Harwick's athletes, Ben True '08, became the first Dartmouth runner to break the 4:00 barrier in the mile.
In 1997, he served as head coach of the United States cross country team at the world championships in Turin, Italy.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
This is the time of year people cuss the ice.
But in the summer almost everyone loves it.
This paradox of loving something one season and hating it another leads people to simplistic feelings about the hard stuff. It is either good or bad, depending on where it is. For a cold drink, it can be like paradise; underfoot, well not so much.
Right now it's on the roads, on sidewalks, by entrances to buildings and it gets into about everything.
Most people have experienced the uncanny feeling of ice underneath their shoes as they fall to the ground or the sticking (sometimes almost gluing) of the doors of a vehicle to its frame after a wet snowstorm and a cold night.
It seems a simple enough natural process. Water, whether it be rain or snow falls from the sky, and the temperature falls to 32 degrees or below then the moisture turns to ice.
But there is more to it than that. And there are a lot of interesting facts about ice that many people don't know.
First of all water doesn't always freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below. It actually needs a medium for its molecules to latch on to. Ice crystals form around a particle or a "nucleus." Dust works very well, but just about anything will do.
When it doesn't freeze at 32 degrees water can be super cooled. In fact it can go down to -44 before it freezes without the particles. If it is a slow cooling process it can happen.
But on the opposite end, water that is cooled down super fast can result in an entirely different condition. It can actually bypass the stage called ice (that is made up of a crystalline structure) and can turn into what is called glassy water. It doesn't happen on the Earth naturally, but in the lab. However, it does happen in outer space. Many comets are made up of glassy water. So imagine all of space and think of all the glassy water out there. And ice is not only found on moderate and cold planets, it can be found on planets that are hot as well. In November it was announced by NASA that ice had been found by a space probe in the polar region of the second-hottest planet in the solar system, Mercury.
While most people take ice for granted, there are a lot of unique facts about ice that many people don't know.
• Ice covers 10 percent of the earth's land surface. It is also seven percent of the planets. These figures are slowly changing as the climates shift, however. It is said that 80 percent of the Earth's fresh water is locked up in snow and ice.
• Ice that is observed in nature is often cloudy looking, even colored. This happens particularly in big ice floes with large scale amounts of ice. Air bubbles cause this opaque view.
• Hot water freezes faster than cold water. This may seem odd to most people, but it is true and was proven to the world by of all people a high school student named Erasto Mpemda in the 1960s, although it had been common knowledge to many for centuries. It is easy to be skeptical about this and it seems illogical, but in actuality scientists have not definitely figured out why this happens. Work that has been done on this effect also shows there are a lot of factors that go into it and studying the process is very complicated. To honor this young student the process is called the Mpemda Effect.
• Ice has had a huge effect on the planet ever since it formed. Many of the Earth's landscapes have been formed by ice. Glaciers are the most glamorous as they grind their way down toward a lower elevation because of the effects of gravity. However, the heat and freeze cycle across the planet, which break off small pieces of rock and earth at a time, probably has a bigger overall effect.
• The thickest ice is located in Antarctica. In some places there the ice is over 15,000 feet thick. It would make sense that scientists also believe that the oldest ice on earth also exists there.
• Ice has a strong structure in many ways, but also can be very unforgiving. At a thickness of two inches, ice on a body of water will support a human being. At four inches, it will support human on horseback. At a thickness of 10 inches, it will support 1,000 pounds per square foot.
• No one knows when ice was first used to cool drinks (ice in the drinks) but certain lake ice has often been coveted as being the best for that. Lake Wenham in Massachusetts has always been known as a place that had very clear ice, in fact so much so that it was imported to England for royal dinner parties in the 19th century. Today most ice used in an area is generated in that same area by refrigeration equipment, not by natural occurrence.
• When one talks about ice, one must also talk about snow, because it is ice in a different form. A general snowstorm across a broad area can easily dump millions of tons of snow. And what about the statement, "There are never two snowflakes that fall that are alike." Science, again, does not know the answer, because it is impossible for every snowflake that has ever fallen to be examined. It would also become a matter of semantics in that what one means that they are alike. It is a virtually impossible question to answer.
Ice has been on the planet a long time, and scientists still study it today in many different ways. While simple and commonplace, it can still be enigmatic when it comes to is forces and processes.

First off, a huge thank you to those who have expressed their support and gratitude of my recent writing… I was not expecting it. I have read your words and I want to reply as soon as I can. Right now I feel an update of sorts is in order. Forgive me while I use my spoons for expression, but know that I am actively awaiting the right words to respond to the support you have offered in my direction. :) You help me feel less alone, and on weekends like this one, I really need that…
At the beginning of May I wanted a mini-celebration of the fact that I've been off treatment six months and I am still walking okay. So what better a way to affirm my functioning feet than with new shoes!
This event was right before my monthly bug-flare, which still happens around the beginning of the month. I forgot about it this time, so it wasn't until day three of being in bed that I realized why all these symptoms were happening.
I effectively went from walking "normally" in new shoes and eating at my favourite foodie joint, to being in bed four days, excessively sleeping through over half of it, and having seizure-like activity again.
Yesterday, I felt as if every inch of me was buzzing, vibrating from the inside-out. I tried to wash my face with sunscreen, use toilet paper as moisturizer, pour my milk into a sauce bowl instead of a cup, and made accidental purchases online. I found myself standing in places I didn't have any memory of walking. Yes, I remember all of these symptoms.
But still it helps to know why it's happening. Not only that, but I've noticed I'm typically worse on weekends, again…an ominous sign from my bartonella days, but a fact nonetheless.
My ego said, I would rather all this NOT occur immediately after I finish celebrating how relatively well I'm functioning after six months with no antibiotics! Why did you have to remind me, right now? Maybe I wanted to forget for a little while, just how much my body is going through, just how sick it is…
Another part of me is saddened at the reminder.
The other part of me, is thankful for it, that I don't float away into denial, and hopes that I won't also sink into despair…at least not for too long.
See, I go through the same emotions as everyone else. I don't ever want to seem like I don't. I don't ever want to seem like the decisions I've made or the way I live is something unattainable.
I've been relatively doing so-so. I never imagined stopping treatment would have given me so much of these months back, these months that I would have otherwise spent in misery with no real benefit except more worsening. Instead, I have more good days right now, I'm determined to use them fully, and I can be mostly comfortable.
Symptom-wise, this has developed:
- I consistently see the squiggles, black dots, and smoke-fog illusions in my vision.
- My hands go numb more often, and various irritated nerves cause intermittent curling of my fingers.
- There is more numbness in my feet, and more of the old "fire foot" sensation.
- I have more heart palpitations and trouble staying hydrated.
- My left leg buckles more frequently.
- I get more spasms in my back.
- I get choked more easily.
I recently returned from two ER visits with a random virus…and just like after my last viral attack in December/January, my vasculitis is temporarily on hiatus. So for now I've been able to stop the daily ibuprofen which was keeping it in check, which I like, and yet this has resulted in more trigeminal neuralgia episodes and eye pain.
While the shot I had to attempt treating the occipital neuralgia didn't go as intended–giving me odd side effects like falling backwards and an inability to recognize myself in the mirror, I suspect because of the brain lesion(s?)–it DID interrupt those signals, so it's not as constant as it once was. There are still so many other types of pain, which was depressing to realize, but that one is better. Being on only half the pain medication that I was on before, this has unmasked many of the neuropathy symptoms I didn't know were developing.
My favourite bit of news is that, I found out if I cover myself in sunscreen before being exposed to sunlight, the vasculitis doesn't flare up. :) And as of my most recent echocardiogram, my heart function hasn't worsened, so they don't want to see me for another 18 months!
I've noticed I try to leave you all with something that's helped me, recently. This time I offer you something for your friends and loved ones, and possibly as justification for your feelings, as well: The book, How to Be a Friend to a Friend Who's Sick by Letty Cottin Pogrebin. It was mentioned on Facebook by the lovely Toni Bernhard, whose book How To Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers changed my life a couple of years back. Both of these are also available on Kindle and Audible, so pick your best function!

The community walk program is now going on its fifth year in Price City, but this spring some new walks are being set up.
The Community Walks 2012 organizers now offer three categories from May 30 to Sept. 5.
The first category is competition. In this walk, participants work in teams. The teams will consist of three individuals who will race to the finish line in all nine walks that are held in May, June, July, August and early September. Winning the race to the line is not all there is. It will also include weight loss and step counting. The weigh-in to qualify for the walks was on May 30 at the Jeff Manley Wellness Center on the Castleview Hospital campus. The final weigh-in will be on Sept.5.
Prizes for this category are $450 for individual participants and $1,000 for teams.
The Traditional walk will also take place this year. Participants need to get their cards stamped each time they walk and they can earn prizes as they go. Registration and rules for this walk can be obtained at the Price City Hall, the Wellness Center or at the Southeastern Utah Health Department.
This year a Guided Historical Walk series will also be featured. These tours will take walkers to various places in town where experts will tell participants about the history of a spot, building or event. The dates for these are not completely scheduled yet, but individuals can find out more by calling Shari Madrid at 636-3161.

We'll respond shortly.
Using multiple buckets for Amazon S3. One of our sites has a lot of images (perhaps 30+ photos per page, different for each page and user) and got significant benefits from using four buckets instead of one. Multiple buckets allows browsers to fetch several images in parallel. Increasing it beyond four probably wouldn't help, as browsers have a limit on how many parallel requests they will send.
Amazon S3 now has a copy command. This could be useful, for example, if you have a lot of data in a single bucket and want to move it to multiple buckets. Copy is faster than downloading and re-uploading all that data. The ruby S3 gem, however, only lets you copy in one bucket, so you'll need to bypass the S3 gem.
We wrote a script to dump a local SQL database and copy it up to a remote server (for example, a demo or production server). This is in contrast with a script we wrote some months ago which copies from demo to a local workstation (for test data, reproducing data-driven bugs, etc). The push to remote feature was for a situation in which there was a bunch of data to be generated (based on some XML input files) and we could afford to bog down a workstation for half an hour, but not an overloaded (and perhaps underpowered) server.
Deprec is a set of capistrano recipes for setting up a remote server (in conjunction with deploying an application), for example creating accounts, ssh keys, init scripts, logrotate, etc.
Capistrano 2.3 has weird sudo issues (deleting old releases or something). Recommend Capistrano 2.5.
Regarding your solution with 4 buckets, here is our take on this situation. We call the solution you describe as "use S3 as a CDN" while there's another one : "use S3 as a storage solution". In this last scenario, we use nginx on an EC2 instance as a reverse proxy between the users browsers and S3. Furthermore, there's a side effect about using 4 buckets and serving s3 urls to your users : if you don't set an "expires" metadata in your object of your s3 bucket, the users browsers will redownload the content every time and could lead to a huge bill at the end of the month.
With no cache headers on the images we put in S3, we see the browser do a cache check and get a 304 back from S3. So we'll have more get requests than if we had set a cache control headers, but the bandwidth shouldn't be much different.
For us, we don't have the option of setting a cache control header, since user's can update our image assets. But if the images you're putting in S3 are static, you should definitely set a cache header, not only to reduce bandwidth, but not having to do all the cache checks on page load can be significant too.
I'm not sure I see how using 4 buckets will affect your caching either way though. Unless you have all your images in all your buckets and use a random one for each image, but in that case, cache headers won't help either since the image is going to have 1 of 4 different url's. We currently have each image in only 1 of the 4 buckets, so the url doesn't change and they should get a cache hit.

COMMUNICATING WITH IMPACT (4 hours)
This foundational course provides individuals with a powerful set of interaction skills that enables them to communicate more effectively with colleagues and customers and, in the process, build trust, strengthen partnerships, and achieve desired results.
TAKING THE HEAT (4 hours)
Organizations need to provide superior customer service in order to build customer loyalty and stay ahead of the competition. Service providers, quite often, know how to have a friendly, positive customer interaction but lack the skills to handle an interaction that takes a turn for the worse. This course equips learners with an important skill set that is essential to providing high-quality customer service. These essential skills will help service providers turn dissatisfied, upset customers into satisfied, loyal ones.
NAVIGATING BEYOND CONFLICT (4 hours)
The differences people bring to the workplace can promote tremendous creativity and innovation. Those same differences can also contribute to misunderstandings, which can lead to discord and if left unresolved, dispute. In this course, individual performers learn how to recognize the warning signs of conflict and take action to prevent situations from escalating or to work out the conflict if it does escalate. This allows them to mitigate any negative impact, thus reducing the cost of conflict and improving business results.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING (4 hours)
Creating and maintaining a healthy attitude is imperative to the success of an individual as well as an entire organization. A positive environment can increase productivity and improve morale, quality, customer satisfaction, etc. However, at any given time, there can be individuals or groups of individuals who delight in depositing their negativity here and there. If not detected and eliminated quickly, this attitude can spread throughout the organization with alarming speed. This program will provide participants with the tools to recognize when there is an attitude problem and the steps necessary to correct it.

You'd think no one would give a hoot about an investment earning virtually nothing.
But at a time when money-market fund yields are virtually zero, politicians, regulators and fund-company executives are fighting awfully hard to decide how rules over these safe-haven cash-parking spots will work in the future.
Following the financial crisis of 2008, money funds went through significant reforms in 2010, and there was talk of much more, but an effort led by Mary Schapiro, then-chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stalled, largely as a result of lobbying efforts by the fund industry. When Schapiro stepped down, it was widely assumed in the industry that further reform efforts were, effectively, dead.
That assumption came to a sharp end this week when the presidents of all 12 Federal Reserve Banks submitted a joint letter to the Financial Stability Oversight Council supporting further reforms to the money-market fund business, reigniting the discussion and bringing some new conditions into focus.
Ironically, what regulators and the bank presidents want to protect investors from now isn't a default or a bankruptcy, but from the side effects of an increase in interest rates.
To see why, let's dig in.
Money-market funds are supposed to be boring, pain-free investments, a safe place to park cash.
Shares are priced at a constant $1; any interest the fund earns that would otherwise raise the price gets shaved off and reinvested to keep the value stable.
Why you should be both bear and bull
If ever there was a time when playing both sides against the middle would seem smart, it's now. MarketWatch's Chuck Jaffe joins Markets Hub. Photo: AP.
In 2008, the nation's oldest and largest money fund, Reserve Primary, "broke the buck" in the wake of the Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy. The $64 billion fund was stuck holding $785 million in Lehman paper; the news started a run of investors fleeing money funds, a dangerously destabilizing event for the entire economy.
Investors who stuck with Reserve Primary through the troubles ultimately lost 3% in an investment they figured would never lose money; the much bigger fear was the resulting economic chaos that was borne out by the financial crisis of 2008.
As a result, the SEC in 2010 adopted rules requiring greater transparency and forcing money funds to invest in more liquid assets with higher credit ratings and shorter maturities. The fund industry supported that move.
Regulators, however, wanted to go further; fund companies didn't.
Regulators are considering a floating share price — rather than the stable $1 — based on a fund's net asset value, as well as other measures such as forcing funds to keep capital buffers to offset small losses.
Floating share values mean that investors would have no incentive to rush the exit at the first sign of trouble, trying to get their $1 before the problems hit home. Capital buffers, meanwhile, are a form of self-insurance against loss, although shareholders pay that price in even lower returns.

ESSP and NAV Portugal sign an EGNOS Working Agreement (© ESSP) Arna fhoilsiú an : 22/10/2013
ESSP and NAV Portugal sign an EGNOS Working Agreement (© ESSP)
This agreement enables the publication of the first EGNOS-based approach procedures at Portuguese airports.
ESSP and NAV Portugal have just signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based approach procedures (LPV procedures) at Portuguese airports.
The signature was sealed end of September by ESSP President Dirk Werquin and NAV Portugal President, Luis Ottolini Coimbra.
The EGNOS Working Agreement formalizes the operational and technical modalities between ESSP, the EGNOS service provider, and NAV Portugal, in order to support the operational introduction and use of EGNOS LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) approaches in Portugal.
From now on, NAV-P can publish EGNOS-based procedures that will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency to pilots and operators at Portuguese airports.
EGNOS provides a cost effective alternative to ILS CAT I, offering similar performance, and it is free!.
"The use of EGNOS for LPV approach procedures is already a reality in Europe" Mr. Werquin said, "and we, as the EGNOS Service provider, are proud that airports in Portugal will start to benefit from the EGNOS service, as is being done in other European countries with EWA signed".
NAV Portugal:
Navegação Aérea de Portugal – NAV Portugal, E.P.E's main mission is to provide air traffic services in the Flight Information Regions (FIR) under Portuguese responsibility (Lisbon and Santa Maria). It is also its duty to provide Aeronautical Information and maintain all the equipment and systems that support Air Traffic Management activity. The company has been contributing to the success of EGNOS from the early days.
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, is a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) that improves the accuracy and provides integrity to the GPS Signal over most of Europe.The EC owns and manages the EGNOS system. ESA is the EGNOS design agent under a delegation agreement with the EC. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) and in India by the GAGAN System. Other similar Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are under study or development in other regions of the world.It is Europe's first venture into satellite navigation and a major stepping-stone towards Galileo, Europe's own global satellite navigation system for the future.
LPV is a non-precision approach. It stands for Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance and typically takes you down to 200-250 ft decision height.

Mids Have a Whale (Shark) of a Time in Oman
Posted on: January 09, 2014 08:00 EST by the International Programs Office
Six midshipmen describe their experiences studying abroad in Oman.
"I waited six years for this."
The Hungarian woman plunged into the water before anyone could even utter the "you're" in "you're crazy."
We all stood on seats and walls, clinging to the poles of the violently rocking boat. Our mouths hung open in disbelief, swallowing the wind in much the same way the ocean swallowed our new Hungarian friend.
And then she surfaced, mere feet away from the eight-foot whale shark.
Having spent 104 days in Oman, we had come to the conclusion there is one thing that can cripple a semester abroad experience: hesitancy.
Admittedly, our group of six midshipmen – Midshipmen 2nd Class Caroline Evans, Marci Demyon, Emily Hornberger, Andrea Howard, Chris Kent, and Josiah Smith – had moments of reluctance in Oman. Initially, we did not always speak out when conversing in a group of locals. We did not always show our outgoing personalities when dumped into unfamiliar scenarios in Omani culture.
As the weeks progressed, though, we grew in our ability to overcome hesitancy. We attended family gatherings, where we won the hearts of our new host "parents" and "cousins," Omani weddings where we danced like Arabs, massive dinners where we did not recognize any food on our plates, and animal sacrifices where we learned the traditions of Eid.
We traveled up north to the Strait of Hormuz during a weekend in Musandam, watched baby turtles scramble to the sea in Ras al Jinz with the Center for International Learning staff, navigated through ancient tombs during a day trip to Bat with our Omani Culture class, inhaled the crisp air at the top of Jebel Akhdar (Green Mountain), and experienced the diversity of Salalah's landscape between Job's tomb in the mountains and Wadi Durbat's clear waters and camel herds.
We learned more Arabic at the Center for International Learning, both the formal fusha and colloquial lehja, than we thought possible in a mere hundred days. The greatest joy in a semester abroad is embracing the unfamiliar, and this typically correlates with suppressing bashfulness and conquering hesitancy.
As we looked out over the waves crashing into the side of our boat, we clung to the nearest poles and reflected on what the Hungarian woman had exclaimed. Six years – six years she had spent going on hundreds of scuba dives throughout the world: Australia, Africa, the Mediterranean, South America, other Gulf countries, and now Oman.
Yet here were we on this same boat with her – obtaining PADI certifications at our first dive site in Muscat and witnessing the presence of the gorgeous whale shark. The Hungarian woman had waited six years for this moment. We pictured ourselves six years in the future, having visited a dozen Arabic-speaking countries but hampered in our Arabic progression by hesitancy.
And that's when we decided to stop clinging to the sense of security offered by bashfulness. Spending the semester abroad is a blessing, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to freely converse and improve in Arabic. So one by one, we released our poles and dove headfirst into the water, joining the Hungarian and not waiting another second to swim with a whale shark.

text: I'm new here so this may be an old topic. I'm rebuilding my 41 and when I install the governor and tighten it down,It binds the oil pump.I am turning the pump inside the gear case with my fingers.I have bolted the pump on by itself with the separator plate and used washers as spacers instead of the governor cover and it turns freely.I have bolted the separator plate to the governor body off the engine at thats when it binds.I have pulled the governor from the cover and checked for debris and everything looks good,The only cure I have come up with is to place extra gaskets in between the separator and the governor cover,I have 2 gaskets a .008 and one at.004 giving me a total of .020 and it turns freely.Is this normal or am I missing something. Prior to this the pump worked fine for 18 years and I had previously disposed of the gasket so I don't know the thickness or if it was doubled up.Any answers? Thanks Scrap

Entertainment and tradition abound; the one thing that reeled people in to the 29th annual Bravo Italiano Festival was the mouth-watering, heavenly aroma of homemade Italian cooking.
Its wonderful, Carla W. Haas said Saturday. Her face lit up at just the smell of her linguine with clam sauce. Thats one of the reasons I wanted to come down today because I always enjoy having the food here, and its in generous potions.
Her large plate was full of at least three scoops of the popular pasta. Her husband, Steven C., was daydreaming of a plate of pasta while working on his plate of half hots, which he described as a hot banana-type pepper stuffed with a meatball-type spiced meat concoction. Its hot, spicy and very good.
Amanda J. Hibbard of Watertown could not agree more. When asked what meal she must have while at the festival, she said, The half hots. Its the one thing my family never makes that they have here.
Michael C. Crump said the homemade sausage and meatballs were what made his mouth water, and for 5-year-old Gabriella M. Hibbard, the fresh fried dough was yummy.
The festival was held Friday and Saturday at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds. It has been sponsored by the Italian-American Civic Association since 1985, when a group of men of Italian descent sat down over a cup of coffee and agreed to do it, former festival organizer John J. Morgia said.
All of the food featured this year was homemade, association President Mark Verne said, and was organized under the watchful eye of Italian-American club cook Antoinette M. Manarina.
Weve been doing this the last nine days ... at least 16 hours a day, Ms. Manarina said. At one point I had about 10 guys with me in the kitchen. Usually eight people work from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then another crew came in.
She estimated 125 pounds of meat went into 2,000 meatballs, with 220 pounds of linguine, 350 pounds of sausage for sausage and peppers and at least 30 batches of fried dough.
People are amazed like people that have never been here before? ... They go, Wow, what is this? They just dont realize that we start from scratch and we go from there, Ms. Manarina said. Even the sauce was made from scratch.
One dish that stood out from the staples such as pasta and half hots, Ms. Manarina said, was the tripe.
Its the lining of a cow or pigs stomach, she said. One man walked out with four dishes.
Mr. Verne estimated about 2,500 people attended the festival over the two days. That was a lot of mouths to plan for. But Ms. Manarina said the effort was well worth it.
Homemade it tastes better, and we were taught by our mothers and our grandmothers. We Italians grew up making food, she said. We grew up in Watertown with so many Italian restaurants that, you know, everybody knew what good Italian food was and we just want to carry on that tradition.
It means a lot to the club a lot to Italian culture and heritage, Mr. Verne said of the festival.
While people like Mr. and Mrs. Haas came for the entertainment, or Ms. Hibbard and Gabriella came to thrive in their Italian heritage, very few could leave without trying an honest-to-God Italian home-cooked meal. While Miss Italia, the entertainment and the Italian cars on display may change, the food will always be hearty and rich in Italian tradition.

Fallout From Kaepernick's Emergence?
While fans in New York are bewildered by the Jets unwillingness to play a backup — something that we learned is due this week to injury — in San Francisco an injury is actually opening the door for a potential new starter at the QB position. As fans are (rightfully) starting to look t0 2013, we ran across an interesting article that might have implications for the Jets.
Until the recent emergence of Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco (a player that guest blogger Andrew Garda warned us about leading up to the draft back in 2011) it was hard to know what will befall Alex Smith. Could he be a free agent this coming offseason?
Via Frank Schwab on Shutdown Corner on Yahoo!
It will be interesting to see what happens to Smith after this season. He has 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over the last two years. For all his limitations, he'd probably be a huge upgrade for many teams, and he's only 28 years old. The Jets, Chiefs, Jaguars and Cardinals would be instantly better with Smith playing quarterback, to name a few teams. The 49ers are unlikely to keep him past next April 1, because that's when his $7.5 million base salary for 2013 becomes guaranteed. Kaepernick is a 2011 second-round pick and clearly the 49ers' quarterback of the future, so it's hard to see the 49ers paying that much to keep around Smith. There should be plenty of interest in Smith around the league, especially with no quarterback prospects on the same level as a Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in the 2013 draft.
Two weeks ago, Smith was the starting quarterback for one of a handful of teams with realistic championship dreams. Now, Smith can't do much but sit and watch the team he helped lead during its rebirth try to make the Super Bowl with a brand new quarterback.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
I'm intrigued, but not so sure. The Jets seem to be tied to Sanchez and Tebow for next year, so not sure how that could work. As for who else could be out there? Take a look at the list of likely free agent quarterbacks … Flacco won't be available and so it's not a lot of great names — as there never is when it comes to quarterbacks. So is Alex Smith better than the rest? Based on the last two years, yes of course. How much would it cost the Jets? Would Smith be better than Sanchez? Quite possibly, but there are considerations.
Smith only started playing well for the Niners once Harbaugh arrived, thus it's hard to imagine that it's just a coincidence. So now the question is if Smith was to come to a team like the Jets, can he keep the trajectory that he was on in San Francisco? Assuming the Jets bring back Sparano as the OC, and without Frank Gore and dynamic veteran targets like Crabtree and Davis, it's hard to imagine it would be substantially better.

Air Quality
/ Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative
Loading Tree...
The Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to extend the growing season for high value crops in an environmentally safe manner through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). High tunnels, sometimes called hoop houses, are steel-framed, polyethylene-covered structures that extend the growing season. High tunnel benefits include better plant and soil quality, fewer nutrients and pesticides in the environment, and better air quality because the crops are usually sold locally, decreasing fuel use for transportation.
Applications submitted for EQIP Initiatives are accepted continually throughout the year. Applications are evaluated and ranked based on expected environmental benefits from implementation of approved conservation practices. Specific Ranking Period Application Deadline Dates
The practice will extend the growing season early and late in the growing year.
Total high tunnel area is limited to 2,178 sq. ft. This may be single or multiple structures that cover a maximum of 2,178 sq. ft.
The high tunnel must be put on existing cropland that has an active crop production history.
Crops must be grown in the soil under the high tunnel, not in pots, growing racks or hydroponics systems.
The payment rate for high tunnels used an estimate that assumes the structure will be removed at the end of the growing season to prevent snow damage. A producer may use stronger hoops and heavier plastic that can be kept in place year-round without risking snow damage but the additional cost of those materials will not be covered through EQIP.
NRCS accepts applications for high tunnels from growers in urban areas. The local NRCS staff can help urban growers determine if they meet the eligibility criteria for EQIP. Zoning does not limit general program eligibility. If an area is zoned "urban" or "residential" the grower is responsible for obtaining approval for installing high tunnels and must meet all applicable laws and regulations.

Farmers say the wealth of rain and sunshine this summer has corn, hay and soybean fields across Jefferson County primed for an outstanding harvest.
Some cornstalks, for example, stand 12 feet tall at Fairlawn Farms on Route 289 in Ellisburg. Similar lush farmland is a common sight across the southern half of the county, said Albert M. Gehrke, who co-owns the farm with his son, Eric C. The cash-crop farmer expects to harvest higher-than-average yields from 650 acres of grain corn planted in May and 250 acres of soybeans planted in early June.
If you drive down through here, the farmland is as good as youre going to find anywhere, said the 69-year-old, who plans to harvest crops in early October. We have some seriously good-looking corn. If we dont get any monsoonal moisture, the harvest is going to be as good as it ever has maybe better.
By planting corn in early May, Mr. Gehrke avoided the long stretch of June rainfall that delayed planting and the first hay cutting at many farms. The farms light-textured loamy soil, which has drainage tiles, helped prevent flooding on farmland. Flooding in June was more pervasive on farmland in northern Jefferson County, which tends to have heavier clay soil.
Cornfields at the Ellisburg farm, about 5 miles east of Lake Ontario, normally yield an average of 175 to 180 grain bushels per acre, Mr. Gehrke said. This seasons crop, though, likely will top that mark.
Weve done some testing and know some areas are going to exceed 200 bushels per acre, he said.
Cornfields planted in May are expected to produce higher-than-average yields, said Michael E. Hunter, field crops expert for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County. Helping that cause were above-average temperatures in April, May, June and July recorded by the National Weather Service at Watertown International Airport near Dexter. Rainfall measured at the airport from May 1 through Sept. 5 was 13.09 inches, up from the 12.24-inch average for the same period, according to data collected since 1949.
Above-average yields for corn silage and hay this season should help some dairy farms rebuild their stocks after a poor hay harvest last summer, Mr. Hunter said, when a monthlong drought significantly reduced yields.
Farms may hit over 25 tons of corn silage per acre, and I know some fields that will exceed 30, he said. Hay yields are going to be above average at most farms, and some of them even had a surplus to sell.
Sackets Harbor dairy farmer Ronald C. Robbins said cornfields in Jefferson County are probably better than anywhere in the state. The maturity of cornfields planted in May at Old McDonalds Farm off County Road 145 is about two weeks behind schedule, he said, because of June rainfall that slowed growth. But unless an early frost arrives this month to kill plants, the harvest is expected to be excellent. The 950-cow farm planted about 2,600 acres of corn, 2,200 acres of hay and 900 acres of soybeans this season.
We could potentially have some of the best yields weve ever had, Mr. Robbins said. We had rain when corn was pollinating, and then weve had this August rain to fill the corn ears out. Other than June, its hard to believe things could be better than this. Our soybeans are loving the August rain and sunshine, which is critical.
From June 1 through July 11, 7.48 inches of rain were tallied at the Watertown airport. Thats the second-wettest six-week stretch behind the summer of 1999 ever recorded over that period. Lingering June rainfall waterlogged many farms in the countys northern region because heavy clay soil couldnt absorb moisture fast enough, said Philadelphia dairyman Michael B. Kiechle, who has 115 acres of corn and 175 acres of hay. Though he managed to plant corn in early May, other farms werent as fortunate.
It depended on your natural resources, your labor and what equipment you have, he said. For some farmers in the area, this has been a frustrating year. For others that have the labor and soil to get the job done, its been a challenging but good year. The rain made it challenging to get crops dry enough to harvest and to plant corn. You cant do everything all in one day.
Because of the unpredictable weather, Mr. Kiechle said, the quality of cornfields in the surrounding area has varied widely this season. Farmers who planted corn in early May have been successful, he said. But those who waited until the rain cleared in late June paid the price.
Its all over the board here, he said. On the same road, I can show you corn that looks pathetic and absolutely super. Theres more variability in the corn this year than Ive ever seen. Corn that was planted the first half of May looks good, but if it was planted past Memorial Day or at the end of June, it doesnt look good. If you put the seed in and then got heavy rains, the seeds didnt germinate as well.
Farmers now are waiting for cornfields to dry enough for harvesting, Mr. Hunter said, which usually starts the last week of September. The first frost usually doesnt occur until October, he said, but Mother Nature could play a spoiler role if freezing temperatures arrive this month before farmers have a chance to harvest fields.
Over the past decade, the earliest frost in which the temperature fell below 32 degrees at the Watertown airport was Sept. 19, 2008. The latest frost was Oct. 20, 2005.

Kinected: Naval Academy Project Hacks XBox Sensor for Military Applications
Posted on: March 14, 2013 08:00 EDT by MC1 Chad Runge
The gaming industry has changed a great deal since a pair of plumbers first set out to save their lovely princess from the menacing grasp of an angry over-grown turtle. What started with a 2-bit gaming console designed for virtual table tennis has reached incredible heights, now connecting hundreds of gamers via the internet on virtual battlefields.
One recent breakthrough in the gaming world was the release of camera-based add-on hardware from industry superpowers Microsoft and Sony. Used in conjunction with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles, the Kinect and Move 3-D camera systems view specific movements made by gamers and incorporate those movements into the games they're playing, resulting in complete hands-free control.
It was with the Kinect system in mind that Midshipmen 1st Class James VanKirk and Eric Mosher came to agreement on their capstone project.
"The goal is to take the Xbox Kinect and use it for computer-vision applications," said VanKirk. "We want to design it to do robotic object detection so you can detect certain objects in a scene. Beyond that, because the Kinect has 3-D capabilities, we want it to determine what position that object is in."
These mids chose to repurpose the Kinect in hopes of creating an inexpensive alternative to expensive object detection systems.
"You can put this system on a robot and just like that, you have a really inexpensive, fully-functional and mobile computer vision system, instead of having to spend a lot on fancy laser cameras," said Vankirk.
VanKirk believes that a system like this could have significant value to today's military. Explosive ordinance disposal, security and ground combat units could considerably mitigate risk to their personnel by employing such a device.
"If we're able to get to the final stages of our development this semester," VanKirk said, " we would be able to integrate this system onto some platform (robot), drive it into a room, give the system a goal, such as 'find the bomb,' and the robot would scan the room with its camera and find a match. Using the position data from the camera, it could determine where that bomb was located, how it was positioned, and return to you with that data."
Their Kinect modifications could result in a significant savings to users desiring to utilize computer vision systems for their own research and practical purposes.
"The whole premise is not only to create the vision system, but to use very inexpensive components," he said. "The Xbox Kinect costs about $100 off the shelf, and all of the background programs that we're using and developing are all considered open-source software, which means that anyone can find and edit it.
"While it could certainly benefit military technology, I think the greatest benefit would be to the research world," he said. "You wouldn't have to spend all of your money trying to build a system. You'll be able to spend it on tweaking that system and using it for your own research purposes. This opens a new door for researchers who don't have as much financial support as many other large corporations."
It's a lofty goal for two midshipmen who will soon be headed to the Navy's submarine community. But while many young adults are glued to their television screens using these devices for recreation, Mosher and VanKirk have big plans for them that don't include your standard forms of recreation.
"We started working on it last semester with our independent research class and continued it this semester in our design class. We're probably not going to see a perfect system by the end of the year, but we've got a work-in-progress that will hopefully allow people to refine it and take it further."
The U.S. Naval Academy's System Engineering program is one of 24 majors at the school, primarily focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics in order to meet the current and future highly technical needs of the Navy. Graduates who are proficient in scientific inquiry, logical reasoning and problem solving will make up an officer corps ready to lead in each warfare community of the Navy and Marine Corps. Capstone is year-long requirement for all fourth-year systems engineering majors, in which students design, build and test a project of their choosing,

Yesterday marked the official beginning of summer.
We are truly blessed with an abundance of opportunities to play here in Carbon County. Most of what we can do takes less than an hour to get to. That is a fortunate thing due to the ever rising cost of gasoline to fill our vehicles.
I hope that many parents take advantage of the full slate of camps and activities that Carbon Recreation has put together. I know I have my granddaughter signed up for a few. What a bargain to get a few hours of relief from the summer boredom cry.
I wish they were both old enough.
I was down in Moab last week getting my river guide license and visited a friend. She was amazed that I work for Carbon Recreation as a river guide. Moab, known for its river running, does not offer any type of programs like we have for their residents.
It may be that they don't want to compete with the local businesses. I am not sure, but we certainly have one of the best recreation programs in the state right here in Price. Now we don't have one of those big county built recreation centers, but I know that a center is in the works for here.
There is also a group raising money to build a super playground that will offer a place for hours of free play and discover. I hope people take the time to learn about what the group is doing and offer to be part of a great improvement to our community. They will need both money and time from the entire community to get this built this year.
This community is what we make it. I have listed many of the recreation opportunities in the past and I hope that someone found out about something new they didn't know about before because of that.
Some of these programs will go away if the community doesn't embrace them.
What would you like to see added to our recreation opportunities? I would like to know. I am all for getting more activities into the community.
E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell me what you think the community still needs. I may be able to connect you with a group of people that also wants the same thing.
Have a great summer and take advantage of the things that are out there to do.

Building a USO Center in the path and view of traveling troops can make all the difference when it comes to delivering our signature comforts from home.
At the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, a new and improved center has attained visibility beyond any other because of its unique design and construction, straddling the busiest escalator in the most popular terminal.
As visitors ride the escalator down to baggage claim in Terminal 4, they will pass through a portion of the new USO Arizona so civilians, as well as military travelers, can peer into a portion of the center.
"It's nearly impossible to miss," said Center Director Anne Theodosis, who has looked forward to the center's opening for the past two years. "Where the center used to be, [in Terminal 2] we got about 500 visitors a month, but now, with this much visibility, we are expecting at least three times as much traffic."
On Thursday, senior military leaders and local officials including Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, adjutant general with the Arizona National Guard Major General Hugo Salazar and Medal of Honor recipient Michael Thornton were among the more than 150 guests on hand to celebrate the long-awaited grand opening. Representatives from two of the major corporate sponsors behind the center's funding TriWest and American Airlines were also present.
"We have a long history of supporting U.S. military members, veterans and their families," said Bernie Willett, director of community programs at American Airlines. "We're proud to partner with the USO year-round through programs that allow our generous customers and our people an opportunity to give back to those who sacrifice so much for our freedom. The new USO Center at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will provide service members a place to rest and relax while traveling, a meaningful comfort that is very well deserved."
In addition to its improved location, the new center is three times larger, affording the USO the opportunity to better serve troops and military families.
"As one of the busiest airports in the country, this center will offer Arizona-based servicemen and women, as well as those passing through to their final destinations, a much-deserved place to relax and unwind," said TriWest President and CEO David J. McIntyre Jr. "TriWest is proud to support the USO and this fantastic center as a thank you to service members and their families who sacrifice so much in defense of our nation."
With more than 3,000 square feet of space, the improved center features a large kitchen area, a movie room, a children's play area, private computer kiosks and traditional amenities such as free WiFi and phones to call home.
USO Arizona will be open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will support the thousands of servicemen and women currently residing in the Phoenix area through core USO programming such as the United Through Reading's Military Program, With You All the Way, Operation USO Care Packages and outreach to local military installations like Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Ariz..
"We are so proud to have a USO here at Phoenix Sky Harbor and excited that now our troops will have even more space to relax when traveling through 'America's Friendliest Airport,'" Stanton said. "We love, believe in, trust and support the people who put on that uniform and today, I'm able to demonstrate that love and trust. I'm a very happy mayor."

What is the food like?
Thai food is internationally famous. Whether chili-hot or comparatively bland, harmony is the guiding principle behind each dish. Thai cuisine is essentially a marriage of centuries-old Eastern and Western influences harmoniously combined into something uniquely Thai. The characteristics of Thai food depend on who cooks it and who it's cooked for. Thai cooking also reflects the characteristics of a waterborne lifestyle. Aquatic animals, plants and herbs are major ingredients. Large cuts of meat have been eschewed. With their Buddhist background, Thais shunned the use of large animals in big chunks. Big cuts of meat were shredded and laced with herbs and spices.
Traditional Thai cooking methods were stewing and baking or grilling. Chinese influences were responsible for the introduction of frying, stir frying and deep-frying. Culinary influences from the 17th century onwards included Portuguese, Dutch, French and Japanese. For example, chilies were introduced to Thai cooking during the late 1600s by Portuguese missionaries who had acquired a taste for them while serving in South America.
Thais were very clever at 'Siamese-ising' foreign cooking methods, and substituting ingredients. The ghee used in Indian cooking was replaced by coconut oil, and coconut milk substituted for other daily products.
Overpowering pure spices were toned down and enhanced by fresh herbs such as lemon grass and galangal. Eventually, fewer and less spices were used in Thai curries, while the use of fresh herbs increased. It is generally acknowledged that Thai curries burn intensely, but briefly, whereas other curries with strong spices burn for longer periods. Furthermore, instead of serving dishes in courses, a Thai meal is served all at once, permitting dinners to enjoy complementary combinations of different tastes.
A proper Thai meal should consist of a soup, a curry dish with condiments, and a dip with accompanying fish and vegetables. A spicy salad may replace the curry dish. The soup can also be spicy, but the curry should be replaced by non spiced items. There must be a harmony of tastes and textures within individual dishes and the entire meal.

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano and co-host Brian Kilmeade hyped conservative myths about guns to disparage Hillary Clinton's proposals to curb gun violence. Fox ignored the fact that there are major differences between assault weapons and other firearms, that background checks are effective in keeping guns out of the hands of those who should not have them, that higher gun ownership leads to more violence and crime, and that most mass shootings do not occur exclusively in so-called "gun free zones."
Fox News Latino highlighted how presidential debates, forums, and media coverage of Republican presidential candidates often miss out on the importance of pressing the candidates on Latino issues despite the growing significance of the Latino voting bloc. Fox News Latino's coverage stands in stark contrast to Fox News' coverage of the Republican presidential candidates, as the network has frequently mocked candidates' use of Spanish language, used incendiary rhetoric to describe Latinos, and encouraged candidates to follow Donald Trump's lead in advocating for harmful anti-immigrant policies.
A recent Bloomberg poll showing 78 percent of Americans in favor of overturning the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling received no coverage on national nightly news programs for ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS, nor Sunday morning political talk shows on ABC, FOX, or NBC. The court decision is once again having an enormous impact on the presidential election, with hundreds of millions of dollars expected to be raised and funneled into political super PACs through 2016.
