New Bomas Save Big Cats
Big Cats Initiative grantee Laly Lichtenfeld works with local communities in Tanzania's Tarangire ecosystem to replace traditional bomas (corrals) with "living walls" made from wire fence and rapidly growing native trees. Since installing 40 living walls that protect more than 100 separate livestock enclosures, communities have seen a dramatic decline in attacks on livestock. To date, no livestock predation has happened in villages where new living walls have been installed, with a 67 percent reduction in the number of lions killed in these communities as a result.

LOUISVILLE A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was jailed Sunday after an alleged drunken domestic dispute with his live-in girlfriend.
Gerald B. Ware II, 41, of 1535 County Route 36, Louisville, was arrested by state police. He was charged with second-degree assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, a felony; fourth-degree criminal mischief with disabling equipment to prevent request for emergency assistance, criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation and third-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury, all misdemeanors, and second-degree harassment with physical contact, a violation.
According to Betsy A. Farnsworth, Mr. Wares girlfriend, the two argued over picking up his children and her children. Following the argument, Mr. Ware spent five hours consuming alcohol.
She said it was at about 10 p.m. Sunday that the argument escalated to physical violence.
Mr. Ware allegedly punched Ms. Farnsworth in the face, causing bruising on her nose and around her eye, and wrapped his hands around her neck, then blocked her nose by pinching her nostrils closed, preventing her from breathing.
Trooper Jonathan J. White reported that Mr. Ware allegedly prevented Ms. Farnsworth from using a phone to call police during the altercation at their home.
Ms. Farsworth told police Mr. Ware took her cell phone and threw it after she said she was going to call the police.
Police additionally reported that Mr. Ware slapped and pushed Ms. Farnsworth and slammed her head off of a dresser, all while making threats to kill her.
Ms. Farnsworth told police the attack was not the first, alleging that Mr. Ware broke her finger in March. Ms. Farnsworth suffered permanent damage and limited mobility to her finger, police reported.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Shelbe Benson-Fuller said the office stresses honor and integrity and the kind of behavior that jailed Mr. Ware is not tolerated.
We do not tolerate corruption, abuse or criminal activity within our ranks, and we fully cooperate with any criminal or administrative investigations of alleged misconduct by any of our personnel, on or off duty, Ms. Benson-Fuller said.
Mr. Ware was remanded to St. Lawrence County Jail, Canton, on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond and was released by Monday evening.
Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow issued an order of protection for Ms. Farnsworth and her daughter, Lindsay Farnsworth.

With projectile skillshots like kisses it just requires practice, you get better and better at aiming them over time. Sometimes it can get really costly to miss those skill shots. If you miss Anhur's Impale on a Loki for instance it might mean the death of yourself or an ally. Ah Muzen Cab's ulti goes on full cooldown if you miss it and goes on a short cooldown if you hit it and grab the stinger afterwards.
ADC is the MOBA lingo for physical damage ranged characters. In this game they are also called Hunters. If you want to know the roles for each god go to the Gods tab in the smite client and click the filter dropdown menu.

lawsuit i mean instabuy plz.
I wish the client recorded replays for casual games. I want some kind of trophy for some of the amazing plays I've made.
Few days ago I used beads to get out of an arachne pull IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PULL! It pulled me halfway.
Today I saw a Nu wa circle go behind a wall and I used He bo's water spout to get her while she was behind the wall! (And invisible)
As far as I know that only works if you have match recorded. It is only recorded if someone spectates the match or if it is a ranked match.
Has anyone tried the new Siege game mode? The pro players are saying that it might become a competitive game mode if they make some adjustments. Who knows, we might be seeing the birth of a whole new MOBA archetype. The MOBA tower defense paradigm hasn't changed ever since the original DOTA all the way from the WC3 days, so it might be a refreshing new reimagining of a classic.
(Remember it's still in beta so give your feedback on forums)
honestly think it's a welcome addition to Smite, and I'm a big fan of the two-lane 5v5 map ala Dawngate since no solo lanes means (hopefully) no *****ing about "solo or feed" and encourages more mix-matching of the lanes outside of one being your typical ADC+support/tank lane. also easier to learn a character/role in lane when you have a partner to back you up from my POV
the only thing tricky about the map honestly is the siege minions. by themselves yeah, they should be fine, but the fact that you can TP to them from base makes things all kinds of eeeehhhh.
Messing around.

The reason that the noses look so much alike is the same reason that new autos tend to look alike, namely, physics. As both the 787 and the A350 are maximized to cruise at .85 mach and the fact that both fuselage cross sections are nearly circular, it is just engineering, not copying. You might as well say they copied the look of the vertical stabilizers or the engine nacelles.
The big difference is in the mix of materials. The 787 (contrary to the article) has a larger percentage of composite materials that are spun in place into complete sections called "barrels." This means there is a huge decrease in the amount of individual parts and the associated fasteners. The A350, by contrast, has sections that are built-up in a more traditional style utilizing composites, titanium and LiAl alloys. Look closely at photos of the two aircraft and you will notice the absolute lack of fasteners on the 787 skin. Compare that to the photo of the A350 nose section. I have stood next to a 787 and it looks like a giant model airplane, smooth and sleek. Time will tell which one is "better" I think the market has plenty of room for both.
I see a maintenance nightmare...
Lol! CNN hails the 787 as revolutionary, but then when A350 comes along 'what's all the fuss about?' Biased much?
A350 struggles to compete with both 777 and 787
It may work for Airbus or may not, we will see, it's just too early to say.
While I'm not an Airbus fan, it's a sweet lookin' Airplane.
There could be bias but I see an analyzed response. Why make another giant jetliner, that is bigger than than the 787 and 777, and make it compete with them? Airlines these days are having enough trouble filling seats, so why make a jet with more to fill? I feel it would be more economic making a long range fuel efficient small load aircraft.
Enough trouble filling seats? I haven't been on a flight that wasn't at least 95% full in over 10 years.
that is called capitalism, if you prefer a single supplier move to China, Cuba or North-Korea
I agree
I didn't bother reading the article - I just wanted to say hi! I don't like the french very much, and "if it ain't boeing I ain't going".
Ok, ive said everything I wanted to
Nice seeing you all
IS it me or does the nose of the A350 look a lot like the nose of the B787? It looks like they waited for Boeing to finalize their design then used it to as a template for theirs.
You are right. Stole the 787 nose. Can't come up with there own ideas. More French Airbus junk. I wonder if they fly it with a SUGGESTION STICK as well?
If its Boeing....I ain't going!!!!
If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going!
well, then stay at home
You said it brother
What a totally unbiased load of c**p

How to manage your delivery address
The Delivery Addresses page allows you to tie address details to your GAME account, which you can then use for future purchases.
You can add an address in two ways. Enter an address at Checkout while you are signed in to your GAME account, and it will be added to your Address Book. Alternatively, you can add and manage details by clicking on 'Your Account' on the blue menu bar on any page of the site, taking you through to your My Game page.
On your My Game page you will see a section called 'My Account'. Within this, click 'Edit Personal Details', and then choose 'Manage Addresses' from the list on the left hand side. This will take you through to the Address Book page.
From the Address Book page you can add a new address by clicking the 'Add new address' button.
You are able to add multiple addresses to your address book. By clicking the 'Update' button next to these, you can give them different names and alter the corresponding address details.
The top address is your default delivery address. When you reach the Checkout process of purchasing a product, this will be the address which appears first in the delivery address dropdown menu. You can alter this at Checkout to any of your other delivery addresses. If you do not, then this is the address to which your order(s) will be sent.
You can change your default delivery address at any point by clicking the 'Default' button next to any one of the addresses in your Address Book. This will alter at Checkout accordingly.
Delivery Addresses and Payment Card billing addresses are NOT interlinked. You ARE able to specify a different delivery address to your Payment Card billing address.
Please be aware that amending your personal details (payment cards / addresses) will not automatically update any existing preorders you have outstanding. Please contact our Customer Services team who will be able to update any preorders for you.
How to manage your payment cards
Adding a Payment Card to your GAME account saves you the time and hassle of entering your card details every time you enter the Checkout process.
How do I add a Payment Card to my account?
You can add a Payment Card to your GAME account by saving the card details you enter at Checkout, or via the 'My GAME' page, accessed by clicking on 'Your Account' on the blue menu bar on any page of the site.
On your My Game page you will see a section called 'My Account'. Within this, click 'Edit Personal Details', and then choose 'Manage Payment Cards' from the list on the left hand side. This will take you through to the Manage Payment Cards page.
From here, you can add a new card, remove existing cards, update your current card details and, if you have added multiple cards, select which one is your Default card - the card that shows up first at Checkout.
Is it safe to keep my card details on your site?
It's safe and secure, and we don't store your Security Number, so in the unlikely event of someone accessing your account somehow, they couldn't make purchases without physically having your card in front of them.
Existing Preorders
Please be aware that amending your personal details (payment cards / addresses) will not automatically update any existing preorders you have outstanding. Please contact our Customer Services team who will be able to update any preorders for you
How to manage your alerts
What are they?
Well there are three types of Alert. Stock Alerts will email you when an out-of-stock product has come back into stock available to buy. A Price Alert will email you when the price of a game falls to or below a certain price which you have previously specified. A Preorder Alert will let you know when a product which is currently only showing "Register Your Interest" becomes available for preorder. By using the Alerts, you don't have to keep checking the website every day.
How are they used?
You can set up an Alert from any product page or search result. Just click on the Alert you want to set - if it's a Price Alert you'll also need to tell it how much you are willing to pay for it.
Are they easy to use?
Yes, any Alerts you set up will appear on the 'My Alerts' page in the 'My Account' section, which means you'll need to have an account to use them. Don't have one? Sign up now, it's free!
From 'My Alerts' you can sort Alerts to find a particular Alert and if you're really keen and have loads, there might be more than one page. You can delete any Alerts you don't want anymore and change the price of Price Alerts. And best of all you won't get spammed! You'll receive just one email when the product comes back into stock or drops to a lower price, and then the Alert deletes itself. So you won't get lots of emails because the product sells out and comes back in again.
Do they do anything else?
No. They are just Alerts. They don't reserve stock or make a purchase for you. They simply tell you when a product is back in stock, available for preorder or has fallen to or below a certain price.

The Carbon High football team was defeated in their second game of the season on Friday in a game against Uintah, while the freshmen from Mont Harmon Junior High took home their first win against Uintah's freshmen the night before.
Carbon High's team was defeated early on in the game when they scored their first and last points of the game during the first quarter. Uintah scored 17 in the first quarter to Carbon's six.
The second and third quarters were about the same for Carbon. Uintah scored 21 in the second quarter and seven in the third. The game ended with a 45-6 win for the Uintah team.
It was different for the freshmen of Mont Harmon. With a new head coach in place, Mont Harmon was determined to end their first game in style and possibly with a win. This determination could be seen by any spectator on the field and could be what helped Mont Harmon to their 8-6 victory against Uintah.
The freshmen of Mont Harmon attributed this win to their new head football coach, Tim Tiller. Tiller lead his freshmen team to their first win.
Mont Harmon didn't look good to win with their small 21 player team to Uintah's nearly 40 player team.
Both teams got out onto the field and played hard from the beginning. It was a very physical game from both sides of the field. The Mont Harmon players also brought heart to the game.
Uintah scored a touchdown on the second drive of the game. They attempted a two point conversion but failed to cross the goal line.
In the second quarter, Joey Keller intercepted a pass and returned it 65 yards for the Pirates' first touchdown. Their two point conversion also failed.
Both teams moved the ball up and down the field with ease but the strong defense of the opposing team would not allow any more points on the board.
In the fourth quarter, the Pirates put an 80 yard drive together but came up one yard short of the goal line.
Uintah, on their own one yard line, attempted a run up the middle and the only thing they found was an interception. The nose tackle ripped through the line and tackled the fullback for a safety.
This was an especially impressive win for the freshmen of Mont Harmon Junior High that usually don't get noticed by most.
This win will signal what is to be a great season of football for Mont Harmon. Mont Harmon's new coach is in agreement with this.
"I think this is going to be a very special year for these players," Coach Tiller commented.

In the summer of 1985, I was working at IBM in Boca Raton. I went to Poughkeepsie, NY for an IBM class and the night before I was to fly home to Florida, I dreamed that I was standing on the beach looking out over the ocean. Suddenly, from high in the sky, three large pieces of debris fell into the ocean. As I watched, many small boats headed out toward the crash. This dream frightened me so much that when I went to the airport to catch my flight home, I was dismayed when it was announced that my flight was delayed because of technical difficulties. I remembered the dream and thought it was a warning not to take that flight. I rushed around the airport and found another flight. There were no problems and I arrived home safe. That fall, I was in Houston at a conference of the Society for Technical Communication. At one of the panel discussions, Judith Resnick, a member of the Challenger shuttle crew, was a speaker. She said that if we would like a souvenir, we should come up after the program and speak to her. I did so and was struck by her presence. A small woman with a mass of dark hair, weighing about 90-pounds, she emanated warmth and strength. I gave her my name and address, and some days later a signed photograph of Judith Resnick arrived in the mail. I framed it and placed it on my desk at work, where she looked at me every day. On January 28, 1986, I went out to lunch in Boca Raton and as I sat down at a table with friends, I noticed that many people were looking toward the television set mounted above the bar. Three large pieces of debris were falling from the sky into the ocean near Cape Canaveral. I realized immediately what it was – my dream. I put the photograph face down on my desk. Eventually, I packed it away. Marlene Semple Port St. Lucie
I was in school at the old Saint Lucie Elementary, on Virginia Avenue and 13th Street and I was outside with my class. I was in the first grade and yes, a lot of people may think I was too young to remember this, but I did. Because it was the most shocking thing for someone my age at the time and then the teacher brought us back into the classroom and we watched as the principal came on our classroom TV letting us know about the tragedy. That was a big thing for us, because of the teacher (Sharon Christa McAuliffe) going up was a big deal, just to show us that even a school teacher can go to space. I remember when my mom came by the school to pick me up as she did every day. I ask her if she saw what happen, she said yes. As I sit here at the dinner table now, with my mom, I asked her if she remembers and she replied yes. She was watching the Price is Right (TV) show, and she said they stopped the show and went live to the news. She got up and went outside and saw the smoke in the sky. And then I turned to my dad, and as I ask my dad, he remembers too. He was working on a new condominium on North Hutchison island in Fort Pierce. He was on the top floor fixing up some columns and as he looked up, another co-worker pointed out the shuttle and then he saw it explode. I know this is a sad memory, but its part of my history. My condolences to the family's of the seven astronauts, as I was just a child then, and now as an adult, I can pay my respect to them. Richard Cristales
I was a fifth-grade teacher at Port Salerno Elementary School. As always, we had a small TV set up in my classroom to watch the countdown. My class would then rush outside between the portable classrooms and to try to be the first to spot the shuttle as it became visible over the Treasure Coast. Everyone was excited and yelling as they spotted Challenger, and watched it streaking across the sky. When the bright flash occurred, and we saw something seem to fly away from the rocket, everyone fell silent. We all knew something was very wrong. My kids looked to me, and we returned to the classroom and heard the bad news on our little TV. It was one of those moments in my life that I will never forget. I know we sat and talked for a long time, though I don't remember what we talked about. One reason I was especially shaken, was that I was one of the many teachers that applied to be that first teacher in space. I wonder if those students still remember where they were that January 28, 1986. I wonder if I had the right words for them. Gary Carson, Palm City
I remember the Challenger tragedy — and that day — like it was yesterday. I was living in Presque Isle, Ma., at the time and working at Viner Brothers shoe manufacturing. I ended up in that area of the country, because I was previously in the US Air Force, stationed at Loring Air Force Base, Limestone, Maine. That is why I have always had a love affair with the space program, and the space shuttles. The day started out like many other Presque Isle days on January 28 1986. The weather was a brisk 32 degrees, snowing and blustery winds with gusts up to 30 miles per hour. The drive to work was a nail biter, with zero visibility. As anyone from that area of Maine would agree, the visibility is worse in a car, because we normally only chip about a square foot of ice off our windshields to see straight in front of us. After pulling into the parking lot of work, and prying my cold stiff hands from my steering wheel, I fought my way through the cold winds and snow drifts to the warmth and security of my job. After clocking in a late — a little past 8:00 a.m. — the factory was already in full production mode. It was always very noisy with all the air driven cutting dies, sewing machines, tack machines, leather dryers, and of course bosses yelling about being behind in production. Today it was especially noisy, with the 30 mph gusts rattling the tin roof over head. Most of the workers wore those little AM/FM radios with an earphone to drown out the factory noise. I settled into my job. I was in charge of putting 12 pairs of the right size shoe "last," (hard plastic molds, shaped like a foot that shoes are sewn on) onto a wooden rack with rollers to make their way through the various assembly lines to become pairs of shoes. I wasn't allowed to wear the radio, because I moved around a lot close to the running machines and there was a risk of the headphone wire getting caught in the machinery as I was worked, so I thought about the morning news. The Challenger was getting ready to blast off into the heavens with the school teacher Christa McAuliffe and with school children all over the world watching, President Ronald Reagan's State of the Union Address to come later that night and a special night out with a juicy, rare, King cut prime rib dinner and several cold draft beers for myself. As I was day dreaming, something strange was happening at the factory right about 11:39 am. Lunch wasn't till 12:00 p.m., so I knew that wasn't it. All of the sudden, a usually noisy factory was becoming eerily silent. As I looked around, all I saw were the workers with the radios, stopping production, turning off their machines and turning off the conveyor belts. Even the wind gusts had subsided. Some seem to be silently praying, others were softly crying. I looked around for the bosses, and expected to hear them start yelling about production. The sound I heard next I will never forget and it still brings tears to my eyes every January 28 at 11:39 a.m. The loud system crackled and I heard what is normally the very gruff voice of our chief executive officer, now barely a shaking whimper, say "The Challenger has exploded." It was at that time the factory became noisy again, but this was the sound of crying, praying out loud, hugging, and comforting, each other. For me, I needed to get some fresh air. I went out to the parking lot, still crying and praying and what was earlier a blustery cold start of the day with high gusts was turning clear, and very calm. The sky went from overcast to so clear I could see the heavens. I knew at that time the seven crew members of the Challenger had made peace with their maker, and were flying higher then they ever had before. We worked the rest of our shift, though I don't think much production went out that day. When I was leaving for the day, the weather had turned back to overcast: cold and blustery. At home, instead of watching President Reagan giving his State of the Union Address, he was mourning with the whole world, and giving a much different speech. As for my juicy, rare, King cut prime rib dinner and cold draft beers, well, I didn't have it. It was to celebrate my birthday: I was born on January 28. This year, I will have 25 birthdays since this tragic accident and I will always remember where I was on Jan. 28, 1986 at 11:39 am. John Ray
As a 20-year old mother, my oldest son Thomas was just 3-months old on that cold January day 25 years ago. As I changed his diaper, I was watching out the window at the rocket trail that I had watched so often growing up in Jensen Beach. The trail broke apart and I heard the television say "major malfunction" and my heart sunk. As the news unfolded on air, I held my son in my arms crying, telling him that he would be reliving this day in the history books for years to come. Today, that little baby boy is a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force in the 341st Missile Wing stationed in Great Falls, Montana. He and his wife are expecting their first child this May. Twenty-five years have past, and it still seems like yesterday! Laurie Andrews, Jensen Beach
I worked on the 3rd Floor of the then-brand new Univest Building on Indian River Drive in Vero Beach. The next floor up was a perfect viewing platform to watch the Challenger Jan. 28, 1986. Several other people that worked in the building and I were up in the unfinished 4th floor. We watched the Challenger take off, we were being our usual obnoxious and raucous selves, until all of sudden the white vapors of the Challenger split off into a "Y" type formation. We knew something bad had happened and we were not noisy any more. There was silence. Suzanne Huntley Vero Beach
The day the Challenger exploded I was working in our family business on Monterey Road in Stuart, I picked up the phone to place an order for supplies and they put me on hold. The usual music was playing but then it was interrupted to say the Challenger had exploded. I went outside just in time to see all the debris falling from the sky. A very sad day in history I will never forget. Betty Tracy
On Jan. 28 1986, I was working at 51 Ivy Street in downtown Atlanta, now known as 51 Peachtree Center, for BellSouth as a Digital Technician. That was the main central office at the time, shared with AT&T. There were three in our elite group: myself, Dave Lapeyrouse and Bob Riley. We patched video feeds to all major networks including AT&T manually before digital switches. We were monitoring the live news feed from AT&T that we patched to our major broadcasters. We watched the shuttle launch and saw close up the shuttle burst apart. At the time, we were unaware as was most of the nation of the situation. However, we knew in our hearts something was wrong. I have since retired to my hometown of Fort Pierce. Donald Kelly, Fort Pierce.
My wife and I were driving east on 6th Avenue on the way to a dental appointment on Royal Palm Point when we saw the Challenger start to rise. We were riding in our 1977 Fiat convertible with the top down, so we had an unobstructed view. We pulled off to the side of the road to watch and then we knew something was wrong as it split into three pieces. The whole area was in mourning for those brave astronauts. Art McNees, Vero Beach
I remember where I was exactly. Its unbeleivable, I say that because itimpacted my life more than I thought when I saw the ad on TcPalm. I was a student in 2nd grade at Rosewood Elementary Schoo, in linel leavingthe cafetaria and heading back to class. I heard a huge noise and saw a bunch of colors in the sky, we all just stopped! All theadults(Teachers, Cafe workers, etc..) just stopped, some crying some frozen. Everything just went into complete somber. My class went backto our room and listened to the radio bulletin that Principal Howardplayed over the intercom. It was all surreal, I don't remember what wassaid but I remember the day in its entirety. The day was slow afterthat, after school my parents watched and talked about the event. Why Isay it impacted my life? Well as I thought back on it, I rememberresearching everything I could on the subject whenever I had thechance. I wrote multiple reports on the event throughout my academiccareer. I can't believe its been 25 years.Jason Redmon
Every January 28 I celebrate the birth of my daughter, who was born just hours before the Challenger disaster. Along with the happy thoughts for her every year are the sad remembrances when all the new moms and hospital birthing staff wept together over the tragic loss of life. Oh, the mysteries of life! Eileen Mead
I was in college at UF in Gainesville and my roomates, like most of Americans, could not care less that one of the shuttles was about to launch. I have always been interested in the space program and have been on hand to see a couple of launches before and since, including one of the Apollo missions when I was a youngster. To this day I have not missed a launch on television, if I could help it. When the Challenger exploded I knew immediately that the astronauts were dead. I yelled for my roommates to come out... "The shuttle blew up! The shuttle blew up." They thought I was joking at first, but joined me after a few minutes to watch the aftermath. For that first day the news coverage made some assumptions and guesses that were completely wrong. I remember the television camera zooming in on a parachute, and the newsmen speculating that the crew was safe. I knew that none of the shuttles had a provision for crew escape at that time (the Columbia had two ejection seats but were later removed after the first four test flights, when more than two people flew). Even though there was a lot of speculation about what led to the disaster, I think that I, like a lot of other people had never heard of the "O" rings that were later determined to have been the weak link. Brian Phillips
I was sitting on the edge of my bed watching the Price is Right; Bob Barker still had dark hair. The show was interrupted with a special announcement. I stood up very quickly and starred in disbelief. I could not believe my eyes, a very similar feeling to the day President Kennedy was assassinated, the day O.J. (Simpson) was acquitted, and although much worse, the day of 9/11. Jeff Chandler, Port St. Lucie
I was in fifth-grade at Jensen Beach Elementary School. We went outside and watched the launch. The teachers then gathered us inside and we watched coverage on the news of the explosion. I can't believe it's been 25 years. Casey Coxe, Dallas
Standing outside Stuart Middle School, with all the SMS students, looking to the northeast towards the ocean when we saw the smoke cloud...The teachers then rushed us all back to the classroom, told us of the news and rolled the TV cart in to watch the news with us...Very sad day! Kimberly Guffin Cox
I was watching the T.V. and the countdown that morning and saying to myself its too cold for the liftoff, as our family were and still are close followers of the space program, it just didn't feel right. I was as the ship lifted off and then went right out the front door to see from my vantage point in the street in front of the house. Watching for years from the same place I knew almost immediately that the shuttle was not in the right path, something was really wrong! No radio in hand and before cell phones I just stood there in horror and screamed noooooooo, then in tears as my worst fears were confirmed, she is falling apart and out of the sky, such sadness and all alone in the middle of our street. I immediately thought of our daughter as she and a group of children from Gifford Middle School were going to preform for a service club at the Holiday Inn on the beach. We had talked that morning that they would be getting there about the time the shuttle was to lift off and she was so anxious to be seeing it from the beach. Well she did see it but the children were all shocked and the singing was very affected by the sadness of what they witnessed. What a sad sad day for America, the families of the astronauts and those of us who saw and will never forget! Lynn Kirby
Fingers of smoke were high in the sky as I came out of an exceedingly long and boring planning and zoning meeting that I was covering as the city reporter for the Port St. Lucie News. My husband Jack and I always tried to watch the blast-offs, but I had missed this one. I looked up and thought, "That's not right." Almost immediately someone said, "The Challenger's exploded!" I learned what people meant when they said, "My heart sank." Jack had seen it all as he was crossing a bridge in Vero. He had the radio on and recalls all went silent. And then heard, "We've lost communication." That afternoon we gathered in the newsroom of the old Stuart News building on Ocean Boulevard, to get our assignments and await the return of the reporter and photographer who had been sent to the space center to cover the blast-off. The photographer, Dale Dunaway, had been shooting crowd reaction when he saw their faces change. He quickly turned and was able to get some dramatic and heart-wrenching photographs of the explosion. My story of a Port St. Lucie retiree who wanted to use his double lot to grow vegetables to sell never got written.. Mary Dodge
Twenty-five years ago, I was in third-grade at Floresta Elementary in Port St. Lucie. Tradition was whenever there was a shuttle launch teachers would take students out to the parking lot on the north side of the school to watch the launch. Like many other launchs in the past, we would start out watching the launch on the TV in the classroom, and then when there was 10-seconds left, we would run outside and look up in the sky and see the smoke trail. On Jan.28, 1986 as the space shuttle Challenger was taking off and all of us students were gathered outside, this launch did not look the same as the previous ones. The teachers knew something was not right and hurried us back into the classroom. As we reentered our classroom, we began to hear the devastating news that the space shuttle Challenger had exploded. Many students broke into tears. We had lunch shortly after, and I can remember how quiet the cafeteria was that day. As young as we all were, we knew what we had just witnessed. Many of us thought about Christa McAuliffe — as she was a teacher — and how we would feel if that was our teacher. Twenty-five years later, I still find myself holding my breath until the side rocket boosters have safely detached. I feel so privileged to live here in Florida and to have been able to have the space program in our back yard. It has been an honor!!! I am saddened to hear that the shuttle program is coming to an end. I have made it a point to make sure my son has been able to see a few launches. I am hoping to be able to take him to see the February launch, and get close enough so he too can have the memories I had at his age before it is to late! Laura Wooley, Ft. Pierce
I am a marine biologist who has frequently worked on research projects in the Indian River Lagoon. On that cold day in January, I and two of my colleagues towed a small boat up to Sebastian Inlet, near one of our study sites. Generally, we work in any kind of weather, except thunderstorms when lightening is a risk. Besides the cold, when we got to our intended site, there was enough wind that there was considerable chop in the water. I looked at my two colleagues and said, hmm, "doesn't look good, why don't we go to another site, where it might not be so chilly and windy". Our next site was in Titusville, not far from the Cape. It was still cold, but not so windy. Once on station, we anchored. As I am prone to do, I dangled my feet and legs into the water. It was cold! I continued to dangle, waiting for the right moment to make the plunge. Due to my dangling, the boat was leaning heavily, the water now just a couple of inches from rushing into the boat. "There she goes!" yelled Rick, one of my colleagues. I thought he meant the boat was going to start to fill with water! So, I quickly took that plunge and jumped into the water. I quickly looked back to realize neither of my colleagues was watching me at all! Rick was talking about the Challenger, which had launched and was in great view, probably the closest look I have ever had of the many shuttle launches I have seen. I steadied the boat and the three of us looked in awe as the Challenger headed to space. Its crew of 7 included Christa McAuliffe, the first member of the Teacher in Space Project, which had been heavily promoted by NASA. This flight had been plagued by a series of delays, and so we were somewhat surprised that the launch had occurred, and by accident, that we there to see it. What a treat! Then the Challenger exploded. Right above our heads. We watched its disintegration, some larger pieces, some smaller parts, falling, like fading fireworks, but in a beautiful, blue-sky background. We were speechless. I strained to see some sign of the capsule or some escape pod separating from the falling debris. It was clear there was none. The three of us looked at each other, feeling hopeless. "They must have gotten out somehow, right?" " I don't know how …". This was long before cell phones, all we had on the boat was radio with limited range. Not knowing the outcome, perhaps not wanting to know, all we could do was to get in the cold water and do the work we had planned for the day. After about 5 hours in the water, we returned to shore by boat. It was shortly before darkness. As we neared the dock, we could see a number of people, looking to the east, where the Challenger had been that morning. Everyone looked solemn. We listened to the news on the radio all the way home, in the dark. Lots of talking, but really nothing that we had not seen or surmised when we were in the lagoon. For me, the shock of the Challenger was greatly compounded that tragic day. On that same van ride to Sebastian, while reading the PJ, I learned that the infant of another of our colleagues had died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A great personal tragedy for the family, but one that greatly affected all of us who worked together. At the funeral that week, while we mourned the loss of a baby, the whole country mourned for Christy McAuliffe and the Challenger. Because of that double tragedy, I don't recall a more emotionally draining week than that one, which started with a ride north, on a very cold January day, 25 years ago. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if NASA had decided that morning, as we did at Sebastian, that conditions were not quite right, and that it would be good to go with a Plan B. Dennis Hanisak, Vero Beach
In January 1986, I was a graduate student finishing my last semester in the Aerospace Engineering department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. At that hour I was preparing to leave the graduate dorms dressed in a suit to go to the school's placement department where I had a scheduled interview with the Jet Propulsions Laboratory, JPL, as it is known. That interview was everything I could have wished for at the time. As I was leaving, an aerospace engineering PhD candidate and friend who lived directly across the hall from my room called me in to see the shuttle launch on TV. To our disbelief, we watched the unfortunate tragedy unfold. Needless to say, all hiring in the aerospace industry immediately froze. After graduating with my Master's degree, I spent the next nine months working as a mechanic, welding and soldering in a refrigerator shop. Later in my career, I would work for an engineering manager who was actually at the launch si te that day, representing our company. Even to this day I cannot imagine what had to have been going through his head at that time. Robert Schmidt, Vero Beach

Preemptive Media are the guys who presented a video about the development of RFID technology, a display of "awareness" stickers and a cage of Madagascan giant hissing roaches at Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion a few months ago. Preemptive Media attached reprogrammed RFID tags to the roaches that, if placed in a Wal-Mart store, will taint its RFID database. The group distributed the roaches at the show's opening, sending them home with gallery goers in Styrofoam coffee containers.
The idea is not to encourage paranioa, but rather participation and preparation! Via RFID in Japan. [blogged by Regine on we-make-money-not]
We Have Never Been Modular
Lev Manovich
We Have Never Been Modular
Thanks to everybody who commented on my text ³Remix and Remixability²
(November 16, 2005). It was provoked by reading about web 2.0 and all the
exitement and hype (as always) around it, so indeed I am ³following the
mainstream view² in certain ways. But I would like to make it clear that
ultimately we are talking about something which does not just apply to RSS,
social bookmarking, or Web Services. We are talking about the logic of
modularity which extends beoynd the Web and digital culture.
Modularity has been the key principle of modern mass production. Mass
production is possible because of the standarisation of parts and how they
fit with each other - i.e. modularity. Although there are historical
precedents for mass production, until twentieth cenrtuy they have separate
histroical cases. But soon after Ford installs first moving assembly lines
at his factory in 1913, others follow, and soon modularity permuates most
areas of modern society. ("An assembly line is a manufacturing process in
which interchangeable parts are added to a product in a sequential manner to
create an end product.") Most products we use are mass produced, which means
they are modular, i.e. they consist from standardised mass produced parts
which fit together in standardised way. Moderns also applied modulary
principle outside of factory. For instance, already in 1932 longe before
IKEA and Logo sets belgian designer Louis Herman De Kornick developed
first modular furniture suitable for smaller council flats being built at
the time...
Creeping (digital) death of fair use
excerpted posts from if:book:
copyright 101 (8/25/05)
Richard Lanham, the godfather of electronic text, has written a wonderful piece in Academic Commons calling for a course in copyright for all undergraduates. Lanham, a UCLA English professor who has had a significant second career as an expert witness in copyright cases, gives one of the more cogent summaries of the copyright morass we find ourselves in as the digital tide overwhelms previous notions of property and ownership.
the creeping (digital) death of fair use (11/02/05)
Meant to post about this last week but it got lost in the shuffle... In case anyone missed it, Tarleton Gillespie of Cornell has published a good piece in Inside Higher Ed about how sneaky settings in course management software are effectively eating away at fair use rights in the academy. Public debate tends to focus on the music and movie industries and the ever more fiendish anti-piracy restrictions they build into their products (the latest being the horrendous "analog hole"). But a similar thing is going on in education and it is decidely under-discussed.
Fair use is what oxygenates the bloodstream of education, allowing ideas to be ideas, not commodities. Universities, and their primary fair use organs, libraries, shouldn't be subjected to the same extortionist policies of the mainstream copyright regime, which, like some corrupt local construction authority, requires dozens of permits to set up a simple grocery store. Fair use was written explicitly into law in 1976 to guarantee protection. But the market tends to find a way, and code is its latest, and most insidious, weapon.
Amazingly, few academics are speaking out. John Holbo, writing on The Valve, wonders:
Why aren't academics - in the humanities in particular - more exercised by recent developments in copyright law? Specifically ...

With the clock winding down to today's 5:00pm deadline to
sign 2009 first-round pick Tim Erixon, the Calgary Flames recognized that they
had better begin considering Plan B.
That plan, it turns out, was to dangle Erixon's rights on
the trade market and see if there were any bites.
GM Glen Sather jumped at the opportunity, and Erixon is now
a member of the New York Rangers along with Calgary's fifth-round pick this year. New York
dealt forward prospect Roman Horak along with its two second-round choices, No.
45 and No. 57 to Calgary. Erixon has already signed with the Rangers.
Had Erixon not signed and not been traded, he would have re-entered
the draft and been a top-15 and likely top-10 pick. So essentially, the Blueshirts turned two
second-rounders and a mid-level prospect into another first-round choice. However, the flipside of that is that it
became clear Calgary
had to deal Erixon, so the two picks and Horak may have been a significant
package to send the Flames' way. Of
course, we have no way of knowing what other offers Calgary received.
Erixon stands 6-3, 205 lbs and is known for being a strong
two-way defender. He tallied four power
play goals this season for Skelleftea of the Swedish Elite League and had five
goals and 19 assists in 48 games total. According to those watching him closely, Erixon was a physical force at
the World Championships and certainly has the ability to be an intimidating
presence. He has developed very well
since his draft year and could be ready for the NHL this season. He seems like a very strong bet to be a good
pro and has top-pairing potential.
So what does it all mean?
The Rangers have a lot of faith in Christian Thomas and
Chris Kreider. It's all but a forgone
conclusion at this point that New
York will draft another forward at No. 15, but most
assumed they'd spend at least one of the second-round choices and possibly both
on forwards. The Rangers lack top talent
on the wings, so by passing on the chance to add forwards at the draft, it's
clear that Rangers' brass thinks the solution could come from within. Thomas and Kreider both have good shots to
become impact players, but the Rangers must be more confident in them than any
of us realize. They also must believe
that they're in good position to land a stud in the first round.
Another trade might be coming. Adding a prospect like Erixon is probably a no-brainer, but the Rangers
have a serious glut of young defenders now. Dan Girardi is 27, Marc Staal is 24, Mike Sauer is 23, Ryan McDonagh is
21, and Michael Del Zotto is just 20-years-old. That doesn't include Dylan McIlrath, Pavel Valentenko, or Tomas
Kundratek. Erixon is believed to be NHL
ready and is just 20-years-old himself, but it's a little hard to envision the
Rangers dressing a group that young next season. That means that there's a decent chance
Sather will be listening to offers for at least one of his blue liners. Staal is obviously going nowhere, and it's
doubtful that Sauer or McDonagh will be on the move after the seasons they just
had. It's probably a little early to
give up on Del Zotto, especially considering the Rangers gave Bobby Sanguinetti
four years to find his game. Girardi is
coming off his best season and is the oldest of the bunch. Plus, he's the guy that constantly throws
himself in harm's way and has the biggest injury risk. If Sather can turn Girardi into a scorer, he
may pull the trigger.
The Rangers are quite happy with their prospect pool. Sather hasn't been trading away his picks for
veterans willy-nilly like in the old days, but he hasn't been afraid to move
them for other assets. New York now owns a first, a fourth, and two
fifths in this draft. Realistically, the
Rangers can only count on landing one impact player from those picks, so the
team must be happy with what it already has in the system.
Matt Gilroy is a goner and Steve Eminger might be too. After a strong playoffs, many suspected that Gilroy might get another
one or two-year-deal. With Erixon on
board, Gilroy
doesn't have a future with the team. It's still likely New York
will want to have a veteran on a short-term deal to guide the youngsters and
retaining Eminger makes some sense. But
both of these guys probably aren't too happy about this news.
New York
is set on building from the back end out. Years of adding expensive forwards via free agency and through trades
yielded poor results, so the philosophy of the front office has changed
dramatically. With all-world goalie
Henrik Lundqvist already in place, the Rangers have sought to add young
defenders through all avenues in recent years. The result is a young, mobile defensive core that is the envy of the
rest of the league. If the Rangers can
add Brad Richards and an offensive winger, either from within or via trade,
they could be a contender far sooner than anyone expected.
If you want to unweave the trade pieces a bit farther,
here's how this looks. The Rangers dealt
Bobby Sanguinetti, a second-round pick, and Roman Horak for Tim Erixon, Jasper
Fasth, and a fifth-round pick.
In other Rangers news:
- Rangers Assistant Coach/Assistant GM Jim Schoenfeld told CT
Whale beat writer Bruce Berlet that he expects the team to give a qualifying
offer to John Mitchell, the hulking center acquired from Toronto at the trade deadline. Mitchell could be an option as a fourth line
center, depending on what happens with some of the potential buyout
candidates. He's been kind of a
forgotten man and few thought he had a future with the team, but the
organization seems fairly high on him.
- Here are Berlet's early thoughts on some guys the Rangers
might look at in the draft.
- Yesterday the Rangers signed defenseman Blake Parlett to an
entry-level deal. Parlett, 22, spent
most of last season in the ECHL before joining the Whale where he posted 12
points in 24 regular season games. New York is obviously
desperate for offensive punch from the back end, and apparently the team thinks
there's a shot that Parlett can one day provide that.

The iIIuminated Boat Procession or "Lai Reua Fai" which literally means to set afloat a fire boat is celebrated by the Northeastern people, which has been practiced for centuries to mark the end of Buddhist Lent. The procession is held to welcome the Lord Buddha back to earth after preaching to his mother in heaven during the three-month period of Buddhist Lent. To pay respect and welcome the Lord Buddha, Reua Fai or fire boats decorated with flowers, incense sticks, candles, and lanterns are launched on the Mekong River in the evening. Today, with competitions to find the most beautiful illuminated boat processions, the boats have become more impressively constructed and decorated. In addition, the event includes cultural performances and street processions in which you can join the locals in performing the traditional folk dances.

Submission ACTA gets death certificate in Europe->
Seeteufel writes: The controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is now officially pronounced dead in the E.U. The European Parliament broadly rejected the Anti-Counterfeiting Agreement a while ago, but there was still a court case pending at the European Court of Justice about the legality of ACTA. The Commission was open about its intent to reintroduce ACTA raticication to the Parliament after a positive Court decision. Now we learn the Commission has withdrawn its questions to the Court.

On July 27, Congressman Jim Matheson joined colleagues in the United States Senate to unveil legislation aimed at making the Internet a safer place for America's children.
Legislation to be introduced by Matheson into the U.S. House of Representatives and Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln into the Senate follows the release of alarming findings in a report by Third Way, a centrist think tank and advocacy group.
The Utah congressman indicated the report reveals the startling fact that children ages 12 to 17 years old are the largest group of consumers of Internet pornography.
The report also finds that the average age at which children are first exposed to pornography on the Internet today is 11 years old.
According to the report, the industry admits that between 20 percent and 30 percent of its traffic comes from youth younger than the age of 18.
"I am proud to introduce this critically important legislation. The porn industry has infiltrated our homes and it compromises what can be an excellent learning tool for our children. It is inexcusable for Congress not to act. We must stop the industry from exploiting the Internet to expose our children to smut. Families should not have to do battle against this industry by themselves. They need a weapon that hurts and this bill is that weapon," noted Matheson.
According to the congressman, the federal legislation has two main features.
First, the proposal requires pornographic web sites to use the latest age verification software technology.
Second, the proposed legislation establishes a child protection trust fund financed by an excise tax of 25 percent on Internet pornography transactions.
Third Way has estimated that the so-called "sin tax" would generate $3 billion in annual revenue to help pay for tougher law enforcement, better blocking and filtering technologies and great education efforts to keep children safe online, pointed out the Utah congressman.
Software currently exists providing website operators with the ability to require the same proof of age that brick-and-mortar vendors require before selling pornography, explained Matheson.
However, only 3 percent of the pornographic website operators require age verification that goes beyond the "honor system," continued the Utah congressman.
"I stand with parents when it comes to holding the pornography industry accountable. Who better to pay the costs of protecting our children from Internet pornography than the industry that has made billions of dollars offering it?" concluded Matheson.

Shepherd's Pie
IngredientsFor meat filling
- 3 lb boneless venison shoulder*, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 pork shanks** (3 lb total), trimmed of any skin and excess fat, boned, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cup water
For potato topping
- 1 head of garlic (2 inches in diameter), cloves separated and left unpeeled
- 2 lb large yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold (about 4)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 lb cheese curds***, crumbled, or haloumi, coarsely grated (about 2 cups)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
For corn filling
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 (4-inch) sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (10-oz) package frozen corn
- Special equipment: a potato ricer or a food mill fitted with medium disk
PreparationMake meat filling:
Pat venison and pork dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a dry 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté one third of meat in 1 tablespoon oil, stirring and turning occasionally, until browned all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer browned meat with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Sauté remaining meat in 2 batches in same manner, using 1 tablespoon oil per batch and transferring to bowl as cooked.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot, then sauté onions and garlic, stirring, until browned, about 6 minutes. Return meat with any juices in bowl to pot, then add water and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Transfer meat to a 3 1/2- to 4-quart shallow baking dish (13 by 10 by 2 inches). If cooking liquid measures more than 1/2 cup, boil in pot until reduced to 1/2 cup, then add to meat in baking dish.
Make potato topping while meat simmers:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
Wrap garlic in a double thickness of foil and seal well. Roast until very soft, about 45 minutes.
While garlic roasts, peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling water, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain.
Heat cream, milk, and butter in same pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper.
Unwrap garlic and cool slightly, then peel cloves. Force hot potatoes and garlic through ricer into hot cream mixture and stir to combine. Stir in cheese and keep warm, covered.
Make corn filling:
Cook onions and garlic in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine and boil, uncovered, until almost all of wine is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cream, rosemary, salt, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Add corn and simmer 5 minutes. Discard rosemary.
Blend 2 cups corn mixture in a blender until almost smooth, about 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids), then stir into remaining corn filling.
Assemble pie:
Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
Top meat filling with corn filling, then spread potato mixture on top and brush with egg. Put baking dish in a foil-lined shallow baking pan (to catch drips) and bake until fillings are bubbling and potato mixture is browned around edge, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.
*Venison shoulder available at underhillfarms.com.
**Pork shanks, listed as "pork osso buco," at nimanranch.com.
***Cheese curds available at hilmarcheese.com and rockcheese.com.
Cooks' note: Fillings and topping can be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled separately, covered. Bring to room temperature to assemble pie.
