Forbes Focuses on Costs at Readiness Hearing
- April 13, 2011
- comments:0
Randy Forbes (R-Va.), chairman of the House Armed Services' Readiness Subcommittee, only had time for one question during Wednesday's hearing on DOD's fiscal 2012 budget request for military construction, but he made it pretty clear from the outset of the session that eliminating wasteful spending was one of his major priorities.
His opening statement included several examples of what he termed "poor decision making." Forbes pointed out an energy efficiency contract the Navy entered into that had a financial payback of 447 years. He also noted his surprise to learn that the military pays a premium of between 25 and 40 percent for construction costs compared to commercially built facilities.
Forbes also criticized the Navy's plan to move an aircraft carrier based in Norfolk to Naval Station Mayport, Fla., calling it a "strategic misalignment" that is neither wise nor cost effective.
The chairman devoted his one question to a recent news story claiming the Army was considering paying $600,000 for a public art project to place outside the Mark Center, the Alexandria, Va., location now being readied to house 6,400 workers moving from Arlington due to BRAC. The city of Alexandria had been conducting a competition to select the winner, but most of the local stories focused on one entry which seemed very out of place for a DOD office complex, a sculpture of a 10-foot fairy riding a toad.
Katherine Hammack, the Army's assistant secretary for installations, energy and environment, responded that the sculpture was one of the art works under consideration, but that the Army had not made a decision yet.
"It's a hard sell," Forbes said of spending $600,000 for a sculpture when the federal government is being forced to cut many other pressing needs to save money.

I have Jason Statham pencilled in for the governorship of California around 2020. He's the star of this enjoyable and insanely frenetic action movie with all the nutritional content of a packet of crisps, directed by former admen Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Crop-headed Londoner Statham stars as the LA hitman who has been injected with a Chinese death serum, and the only way for him to stay alive is to keep his adrenalin up above a certain level: screaming, shouting, necking Red Bull, having sex in public, bloodily avenging himself on his would-be killers. Stuff like that.
- Crank
- Production year: 2006
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): 18
- Runtime: 88 mins
- Directors: Brian Taylor, Mark Neveldine
- Cast: Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, Efren Ramirez, Jason Statham
The movie cheerfully rehashes the premise of Speed, and also, unless I'm very much mistaken, pastiches the elevator-mental-breakdown scene in Guy Ritchie's excruciating Revolver. Either that, or Neveldine and Taylor just had the same idea and did it a thousand times better. A guilty pleasure.

As two teams known for possessing firepower, the contest between Duke and UVa surprisingly transformed into more of a defensive battle. True, both teams pushed in transition and looked to create a free flowing game, but what should have been offensive opportunities usually became great sick checks, broken passes, or decisions that were rushed because heat was coming. Thirteen goals in a game is about what either of these teams average individually, not collectively. But as each team picked their spots, it was the Blue Devils who struck the final blow of overtime, taking down the Cavaliers 7-6, and assuming the top spot in the ACC.
The game developed a hurried pace early, as both teams' defenders swarmed ball carriers and tried to force turnovers. Duke tried to press Virginia on the ride from box line to box line, whereas Virginia's attackmen rode hard, but the Cavaliers left the middle of the field quite open.
Both goalies looked sharp from the start and remained quite steadfast throughout the game. Virginia controlled the pace of play for much of the first quarter, but the Duke defense held strong, limiting the looks UVa could get. Watching the Cavaliers offense, it is clear many of their sets run through standout attackman Ben Rubeor initiating play from X.
UVa drew first blood, as Garrett Billings tossed a feed from behind the cage topside to Jack Riley, waiting all alone. With no one on him, Riley had time to set his feet and fire, giving the Cavaliers a 1-0 lead six minutes into the first quarter.
Duke answered back quickly. As the ball worked behind the cage, UVa's defense slowly started to get sucked down. With a simple skip pass up top, Matt Danowski found a wide-open Peter Lamade who pinned the top right corner, tying the game at 1-1.
UVa took the lead right back though. Working high on the wing, Foster Gilbert rolled back-and-forth twice on his man. Finally feeling his weight shift, Gilbert changed direction again, burning down the side and ripping a running bouncer with no one on him. The first quarter thus concluded with UVa holding a 2-1 lead.
A goal by Max Pomper put UVa up 3-1, but Duke would grab one more before the half. Brad Ross came streaking in from the edge of the box to the crease, weaving amongst defenders for the unassisted score, Ross's first of what would be three on the day. At halftime the score reflected a superb defensive effort by both teams, 3-2 UVa.
Most noticeable about play in the first half, especially UVa's, was how busy the longsticks were. Neither the Blue Devils nor the Cavaliers saw many scoring chances as offensive players constantly felt pressure, and the ball spent a lot of time on the ground, or just being flung quickly from one end to the other. Even on plays where defenders got beat, they were able to fling a pole out and snag a piece of someone's stick or knock down a pass. For all the comments about the deadly speed of this UVa team, it seems most apparent in their defense.
Ross tied the score with his second goal of the day, the first of the second half. After a nice little shake-n-bake move on the wing, Ross got a step inside on his man and released a high ripper for the score, 3-3.
Rubeor got his name on the board with his first of two scores. Driving from X, Rubeor wrapped around the cage and snuck a ball between the post and Duke keeper Dan Loftus' leg. Steve Giannone stretched UVa's lead to two, scoring a goal similar to Ross' at the start of the half. Giannone rolled inside, fought through two defenders, and got off an awkward bounce shot that went right over Loftus' shoulder.
Duke began to take control of the game, trying to settle into longer possessions, but the Cavalier defense's aggressive play did not let the Devils sit stagnantly for long. Eventually the Dukies found pay dirt. With Danowski playing catch and faking like he would rush a post from X, UVa's defense began to sink. Danowski flipped an over the top pass to a wide-open Mike Catalino who set and fired for the score.
Duke tied the game at five as Lamade fed Zach Greer sitting right off the crease. Greer caught and finished the close shot, his bread and butter.
UVa took the lead right back with some impressive play from Turner. After making a good save, Turner gained control of the ball and looked to clear. Finding no one, he carried the ball all the way down field, to about five yards short of the box. From there, he hit Rubeor streaking across the face of the goal. Rubeor caught and fired in the goal on the run, giving Turner only his second career point (the other was also an assist).
With six minutes left, Danowski then tied the game at six. Driving hard from the top of the box down the wing, Danowski fired a high-to-low shot that somehow squeezed in between Cavalier keeper Kip Turner's leg and the post.
The teams traded some good rushes up and down the field, but regulation ticked away, and the game was destined for overtime.
UVa won the opening possession of OT but lost the ball on an errant shot. Duke snagged the ball and took a timeout. Coming out of the timeout, they attempted to run a set offense. As the ball worked to X, Danowski carried, looking for an opening. Then, he whipped a pass to Ross, sitting right on the crease. Having little time and space to maneuver, Ross tucked the ball around his back, putting it off-stick-side high, beating Turner for the game winner, Ross' third of the game; 7-6 Duke.
Perhaps the hardest part of this loss for UVa is the play they got out of Turner. He posted a career high 20 saves, and held Duke, a team that averages almost 12 goals again, to only seven.
Danowski showed that he is the quarterback of this Duke offense. Netting only one goal for himself, he had a hand in three others, leading all scorers on the day with four points. Rubeor, his hypothetical counterpart on the Cavalier end, put up two goals, but could not get the ball to his teammates in places they were finishing.
Duke claimed the top spot in the ACC tournament with the win today. They play Army in Durham, NC, next Saturday afternoon at 1. Virginia will enter the ACC field ranked second. They play Dartmouth in Charlottesville, VA, Saturday afternoon at 1.
If the ACC tournament plays out as expected, a Duke v UVa final would be a contentious and entertaining prospect.

A few of my buddies and I are going to go on a trip next weekend the 15th of August and wanted to get some good fishing in. I heard that going out to deer lake would be a great spot because of all the surrounding lakes too. From gianelli to deer lake is said to be about 11.6 miles and I just wondering If anyone has done this before and can give any insight to doing that hike in a day. We only have Friday Saturday and Sunday and I would like to get to deer lake Friday and hike out Sunday. If so any suggestions or tips to making it a good trip would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for taking the time to read this
Thomas,I recently hiked with my wife from Crabtree TH to Deer Lake in a day. I assume you selected Gianelli to start higher up (8600 ft instead of 7160 ft) and avoid that extra 1500 ft of climb. We picked Crabtree (same distance to Deer Lake) to have more options for fishing and swimming. We went directly by Camp Lake, Piute Lake, Gem Lake and Jewelry Lake before getting to Deer Lake. We almost decided to camp at Gem Lake after a refreshing swim in there, but continued to Deer Lake and fished our trout for dinner there. For us it was worth it to start from Crabtree. We didn't mind the extra climb and enjoyed our swims in Camp Lake and Gem Lake a lot during a hot day. Having several lakes as options to stop for the night and fish/swim there was our main driver for starting at Crabtree.Have fun out there!Manfred
Thank you very much, that was my original idea and was swayed the other way. That sounds like a great route and glad to hear you caught some fish and hoping to do the same. Best Tom

Take your chorus effects out of the '80s and into the glory days of the '70s!
The evolution of the chorus effect seems to have gotten stuck in '80s pop, along with over-processed guitars, cheesy synths and popped collars. Rest assured, the Tech 21 Boost Chorus ain't that kind of chorus. When Tech 21 designed the Boost Chorus pedal they went back to the '70s, when choruses were rich, smooth, and manly. They figured out what made these vintage stompboxes sound so good and poured that knowledge into a new kind of chorus pedal with greatly improved performance and a whole slew of never-before-heard sounds. Slapback, echo, flanging, and doubling effects are all possible from the modestly named Boost Chorus pedal.
Designed primarily for guitar (although it sounds great with everything else), the Boost Chorus features unprecedented tweakability. Six control knobs let you easily dial in the right tone, speed, and depth of the effect. The Mix control allows a 0-100% wet blend of the effect, while the Level control offers increasing amounts of boost to compensate for the volume loss perceived with chorus effects. The final control is the Pre-Delay, which alters the chorus' range to produce effects from flange/chorus to regular chorus and chorus/doubler. The secret weapon is the Multi Voice switch. Engage it to bask in the multiple chorus voices of an Ensemble-style effect.
An effect that should be on every guitarist's pedal board done the right way! Order your Boost Chorus now!

Comments about Tech 21 Boost Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal:
After extensive research and demos I chose the Boost chorus and I am completely satisfied with that choice. Stays true to amp's basic sound (tube 50w) and no interference with noise. Silent action switch, high quality all the way to the tin it came packaged in. IMHO best chorus I've heard. Also I like how the mix behaves like a compressor, to a degree. Pedal sounds good clean and sparkly or O.D/ Distortion on. Wide range of settings. Got a great price at M.F.
Comments about Tech 21 Boost Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal:
This one hits the mark in terms of my taste. Organic & warm , no perceived volume drop. The right amount of depth, sparkle & no de tuned mud if you take the time to adjust everything.
Had my first jam with this pedal and things went great. I am able to get the chorus sound I have been hunting for. I like a bright tone, lots of depth, couple clicks of level boost, some pre delay & mix half way. Eureka! that's my sonic vision for a chorus guitar effect. Adjustability options paid off!
Plus it's warm analog & organic sounding with a suttle underneath background flange sweep - to my ears. I do not care for the metallic synthetic type varity of chorus sounds.
Only minor pet peeve - wish the jack & power socket were up top. I run a small board this eats up space for part of another small foot print pedal. Not a show stopper though.
Still early so far so good knobs feel nice and not sloppy.
Solid value one gets many different chorus types in one pedal

Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Recommends Limiting Juice to Maintain Kids' Health
Pittsburgh, Pa. - November 15, 2001 -
Anything in excess is bad, the saying goes. And that includes fruit juice. Children today are drinking too much fruit juice, as well as fruit-flavored drinks and soda. This over-consumption is leading to numerous health problems, from tooth decay to obesity to intestinal distress. The overuse is so prevalent that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has developed a policy on The Use and Misuse of Fruit Juice in Pediatrics.
At Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, clinical nutritionist Cindy Miller, RD, and pediatrician Debra Bogen, MD, said the dangers of children drinking too much juice are many. The leading problems are:
- Tooth decay – Juice, whether it is 100 percent fruit juice or a fruit-flavored drink, can settle on teeth and cause decay. Specifically, the problem results when children carry a bottle or "sippy" cup with them and drink constantly throughout the day or go to bed with the juice. Their teeth are continually exposed to sugar, which does not give saliva the opportunity to wash away bacteria that form the acids that cause decay.
- Obesity – Today, 1 in 4 kids is overweight, Miller said. She finds that many overweight children are adding a lot of sugar calories to their diets by drinking too much juice. She said some children she has treated in weight management programs drink as many as 500 to 1,000 or more calories a day. The resulting increase in weight also can put a child at risk for Type II diabetes, a disease that is increasing in incidence among teenagers.
- Intestinal problems – Too much juice, especially apple or pear juices, can cause diarrhea. These juices contain sorbitol, a carbohydrate not absorbed easily through digestion.
- Negatively impacted growth – Drinking juice throughout the day can suppress children's appetites. As a result, they do not eat as much solid food to get the iron, zinc, protein and other nutrients they need for proper growth and development.
- Low bone density – Children often drink juice instead of milk, which should be the drink of choice for all children. Even calcium-fortified juices cannot completely substitute milk because they are missing vitamin D. Milk contains vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium. Milk also contains protein and other minerals that cannot be acquired by drinking juice. However, if a child is lactose-intolerant and is eating a healthy diet that provides the proper nutrients, calcium-fortified juice can be a good alternative to milk, Dr. Bogen said.
So, what's a parent to do if children enjoy the taste of juice? Dr. Bogen and Miller said 100 percent juice has a place in a child's diet and have a few recommendations for maintaining moderation that are in-line with the AAP policy:
- If children want juice, give them 100 percent fruit juice, which has more nutritional value than fruit-flavored drinks. Also, do not give children unpasteurized juice, such as apple cider, which can harbor e-coli and other bacteria that can make children sick.
- Instead of giving children juice, give them fresh fruit. The fruit has less sugar, more fiber and nutrients, and will quell a child's hunger.
- Limit the amount of juice children drink to control calorie intake and encourage proper nutrition. Do not give children juice until they can hold and drink from a cup (typically 6 to 9 months of age). Even then, dilute the juice with water. Once they are toddlers (1 to 6 years old), children can drink four to six ounces of juice a day. Although older children and adolescents (ages 7 to 18) can drink more juice according to AAP guidelines, they still should be limited to eight to 12 ounces a day.
- Toddlers should not be allowed to carry a bottle or cup of juice around all day or take it to bed with them. If you want to give your child juice, Dr. Bogen suggests putting juice in a small cup that children must leave in the kitchen. If they are thirsty, they can walk to the kitchen for a drink. By not constantly drinking, children give their saliva a chance to protect their teeth.
NOTE: Children's Hospital nutritionists and pediatricians are available for interviews.

IntroductionGoal: - Create a simple ASPX page with Hello world controller.
Video demonstration Step1:- Create project Step 2:- Add controller Step 3:- Add View Step 4:- Run the application So what's in the next tutorial?
In this tutorial we will see how to create a first MVC application using VS 2010 and the MVC 2 template. This complete series is divided in to 50 parts with labs and video demos. We hope this complete series will help you to understand MVC step by step in a structured manner.

• Visual Studio 2010 or the free Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. These include ASP.NET MVC 2 template by default.• Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (any edition) or the free Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with SP1. These do not include ASP.NET MVC 2 by default; you must also download and install ASP.NET MVC 2 from http://www.asp.net/mvc/ .
In this lab we will create a simple hello world program using MVC template. So we will create a simple controller, attach the controller to simple index.aspx page and view the display on the browser.
In case you are fed up to read the complete article watch the below 5 minutes video to understand the same.
Create a new project by selecting the MVC 2 empty web application template as shown in the below figure.
Once you click ok, you have a readymade structure with appropriate folders where you can add controllers, models and views.
So let's go and add a new controller as shown in the below figure.
Once you add the new controller you should see some kind of code snippet as shown in the below snippet.
public class Default1Controller : Controller
// GET: /Default1/
public ActionResult Index()
return View();
Now that we have the controller we need to go and add the view. So click on the Index function which is present in the control and click on add view menu as shown in the below figure.
The add view pops up a modal box to enter view name which will be invoked when this controller is called as shown in the figure below. For now keep the view name same as the controller name and also uncheck the master page check box.
If you do a CNTRL + F5 you should see an error as shown in the below figure. This error is obvious because we have not invoked the appropriate controller / action.
If you append the proper controller on the URL you should be able to see the proper view.
So have a toast of beer for your first ASP.NET MVC application.
Now that we have created a simple MVC hello world, it's time to see how we can pass data from controllers to views. The first hit comes to the controller which will load your business objects or model and you would like to transfer these objects to the view to display them.

Re: classic Who should be in colour..
Tyrannnical action by the BBC?
Free the Colourised 2!!
I think what this would come down to is an issue of cost effectiveness. Considering they won't even produce any more animated recreations of lost episodes, I can't see them spending money colourising ones they can just as easily sell as they are.
And TOS is a poor comparison. Star Trek was filmed in colour, Who was not, and whilst many of the sets/cosumes were coloured (see Zoe's catsuit for further details) many of them were actually just varying shades of grey because the show was designed to be filmed in B&W.
I think another interesting point is that in many cases whoever did this would in effect be imposing their own colour pallate onto the show. Take Zoe's catsuit (I'm not obsessed!) It's actually purple, but would the producers have made it purple if the show was intended in colour? Or was it chosen because it looked good in black and white, or just because it was the only colour available. So do you colour it purple (which may or may not have been the original intent) or do you make a choice based on what colour you think it should be?

Program Overview
Given the rapidly evolving field of cardiac stress testing with respect to new risk stratification algorithms, new agents, and new assessment methods, it is difficult for physicians to remain up to date on the latest research and the benefits and risks of different testing modalities. This CME activity provides an overview on the indications and guidelines for testing for coronary heart disease. A panel of experts discuss evidence-based data and exercise practical implications for clinical decision-making. This educational intervention will bring clinicians a current understanding of patient-centered cardiovascular imaging to improve the individualized management of patients with suspected coronary heart disease.
Target Audience
Cardiologists, internists, and physicians who care for patients with coronary heart disease.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the factors and guidelines for risk stratification and patient selection when ordering a pharmacological cardiac stress test, including the pre-operative assessment.
- Analyze recent clinical trial data concerning the application of pharmacologic agents used to induce cardiac stress, as well as state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging techniques.
- Improve communication between internists and cardiologists to order the right cardiac stress test for the right patients.
- Implement patient education and communication strategies that involve the patient in the decision-making process and prepare the patient for cardiac stress testing

CAIRO – Muslim students are facing a deeply rooted discrimination in Indian elementary schools, denying them right to education amid lack of accountability for the violators, according to an international human rights group.
"Whenever the teachers are angry, they call us Mullahs," Javed, a 10-year-old Muslim boy from Delhi, said in the Human Rights Watch (HRW) report published on the group's website on Tuesday, April 22.
"The Hindu boys also call us Mullahs because our fathers have beards.
"We feel insulted when they refer to us like this."
Under the title "'They Say We're Dirty': Denying an Education to India's Marginalized," the HRW released a 77-page report that details discrimination against Muslim, Dalit and tribal children at Indian schools.
The report, that was conducted in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi, warned that minority students are "at risk of dropping out, or have dropped out".
The report is based on testimonies of 160 respondents, including children, parents, teachers, and a wide range of education experts, rights activists, local authorities and education officials.
It unveiled grave violations against students by obligating marginalized pupils to "sit at the back of the class or in separate rooms, being insulted by the use of derogatory names, denied leadership roles, and served food last".
"The teacher tells us to sit on the other side," said Pankaj, an eight-year-old tribal boy from Uttar Pradesh.
"If we sit with others, she scolds us and asks us to sit separately. The teacher doesn't sit with us because she says we 'are dirty.'"
Shyam, a 14-year-old Dalit boy from Uttar Pradesh, shared similar horrifying stories.
"The teacher always made us sit in a corner of the room, and would throw keys at us [when she was angry]," he said.
"We only got food if anything was left after other children were served…. [G]radually [we] stopped going to school."
The most shocking is that minority students in Indian schools complain that they "are even told to clean toilets, while children from traditionally privileged groups are not".
"We were asked to massage a teacher's legs. If we refused, he used to beat us," said Naresh, a 12-year-old Dalit boy fro, Bihar.
"There was a toilet for teachers, which is the one we had to clean."
Elections promises
The appalling HRW report coincides with the Indian national elections that are soaked with rivals' promises to apply reforms at elementary schools.
"India's political parties focused on education during the election campaign," Jayshree Bajoria, India researcher and author of the report, said.
"But whoever takes office will need to do more to ensure that children attend classes.
"An important law is set to fail unless the government intervenes now."
Imposed four years ago, the education law that guarantees free schooling to every children ages 6 to 14 failed to eradicate the age-old discriminatory attitudes "based on caste, ethnicity, religion, or gender".
"India's immense project to educate all its children risks falling victim to deeply rooted discrimination by teachers and other school staff against the poor and marginalized," said Bajoria.
"Instead of encouraging children from at-risk communities who are often the first in their families to ever step inside a classroom, teachers often neglect or even mistreat them."
Millions of Indians began voting in the world's biggest election earlier in April.
The elections come amid expectations that India's 814-million-strong electorate are going to inflict a heavy defeat on the ruling Congress party, in power for 10 years, and elect hardliner Modi from the BJP.
Representing 180 million, nearly 14 percent of the population, India Muslims are being wooed since their votes would decide at least 100 seats.
According to HRW, the lack of punishment for the violators incites discrimination against minority students.
The HRW has urged India to adopt "more active" measures to monitor the treatment of minority students in classrooms.
Almost 50% of Indian children drop out before completing elementary education, according to the government.
"Non-discrimination and equality are fundamental to the Right to Education Act and yet the law provides no penalties for violators," Bajoria said.
"If schools are to become child-friendly environments for all of India's children, the government needs to send a strong message that discriminatory behavior will no longer be tolerated and those responsible will be held to account."

LAS CRUCES (AP) — Baseball has long been a passion for New Mexico State University alumnus Michael Johnson.
He and his older brother used to play and the sport was a true love for his mother. So he and his wife Judy have decided to give the Aggie baseball program a $1.4 million gift for facility upgrades.
Manager Rocky Ward says the money will be a game-changer for the team. He says it will help with recruiting and will give the Aggies a better chance to compete more consistently at the conference level.
The money will go toward dugout renovation, additional stands, upgrades to the scoreboard and video display and a stadium sun cover.

Weaver High School Reviews
I graduated from Weaver High School in 1976. My husband and I came last night for homecoming game and there was no handicap entrance on home side. My husband has to ride a scooter chair and the only way he could get in was where the football players come down to the field and the on visitor side we asked could we park truck there. He had to sit in scooter on track and couldn't enjoy the game cause he couldn't see with kids running and playing. It would've been better if he could've got in at top of home side in front of concession stand. He said there was another man in a wheelchair with one leg having same problem, too.
Can this be resolved.

uiImage: Loading Resources From Foreign Domains
The uiImage component is used to display an image (JPG/PNG/GIF). The path to the image is specified by the
source property. By default, the
uiImage object will attempt to load resources from the "assets/images/" folder (path is relative to the application SWF). To load from a different path, for example the folder "resources/images/", prefix the source with "url:", example "url:resources/images/garden.jpg".
In order to load images from a different domain, the Flash Player will need to read a crossdomain.xml file from the foreign domain (and this file must grant permission to your domain to access the required resources). Typically, you would expect to need to specify a
checkPolicyFile property somewhere. In the case of the
uiImage component, there is no
checkPolicyFile property to set because this would be unnecessary.

text: One of my favorite things to photograph is water drops on flowers. You can take some water, a macro lens and some flowers and make a million unique photographs. With a little patients you can create stunning photographs. I use either a spray bottle or a waterbottle with a small hole in it to create the water drops. During my lunch break today at work I went to a local park in Dallas. I took my gear and found some interesting flowers. I lined up some water drops and got a few nice pictures. These were all captured on a Canon 5D Mark II camera. I used a Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x macro lens and a Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit. These photographs of water drops are unedited. These came straight out of the camera and no enhancments were made. Not exactly my best work but they are interesting either way.This is a macro video of what it looks like taking macro photographs of water drops.

Following the July 8 decision by a U.S. appellate court in New Orleans to uphold a lower court's ruling that lifted the Obama Administration's moratorium on deepwater drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf, the U.S. Dept. of the Interior on July 12 said its Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will issue narrower "suspensions" that will curtail most deepwater drilling activities through Nov. 30. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the new suspensions will apply to drilling operations that use subsea blowout or surface preventers on floating facilities. The suspensions allow for some limited deepwater drilling to continue, including emergency drilling related to the ongoing BP oil spill and certain "low risk" operations. Salazar says a temporary pause will provide time to implement recent safety reforms.

According to this article in the Star Tribune, Dakota County has begun to narrow the vision for its latest regional park located on 450+ acres in Empire Township. While the options have narrowed, there are still many choices to be made which brings rise the question: why are they still concerning themselves with this park?
From the article:
An off-leash dog park, a learning and research center and something called an "agboretum" are among the ideas being floated for the new regional park in Empire Township.
Of course, the concepts unveiled to Dakota County commissioners earlier this month also call for a healthy dose of hiking trails, campsites and picnic areas.
All wonderful ideas themselves, however much of those options already exist in the immediate area including the nearby Dakota Woods Dog Park and the Master Gardener run garden at the adjacent UMore Park which serves as a huge research center for the University of Minnesota and has a very large hiking area known as the Lone Rock Trail.
This is not to say that the County should not look to invest in outdoor activities to fill the land acquired. There are certainly not enough campsites available in the county's system, especially those that are under heavy tree cover. There are not enough raw parks which are not developed in any way. We need more undiscovered wilderness areas like Miesville Ravine Park which allows for the county to spend less money but provide access to real wilderness situations for its citizens–something which has dwindled in the metro area in recent years with the proliferation of paved trails, interactive centers, and concentration on attraction for the wrong reasons.
Instead of spending so much time worrying about redeveloping preexisting park options which are in the immediately area and concentrating on coming up with the most perfect name even though many have been already provided, they should be better understanding what the public does not even yet know it wants and needs and providing that instead.
What do you think?

Ecology and Population Biology
Research Categories: Population ecology, mutualism, plant-insect interations, life-history adaptations to stochastic environments, theoretical ecology, conservation ecology
Research Description: Bill Morris studies the population ecology of plants and insects (both herbivores and pollinators). Current projects include: the population dynamic consequences of constitutive and inducible resistance in plants, the maintenance of mutualistic interactions between flowering plants and nectar-robbing pollinators, the use of population-level attributes to detect biotic responses to ongoing environmental changes, and the use of mathematical models to assess viability of threatened and endangered populations. The common thread uniting these projects is that they combine field experiments and mathematical models to study population dynamics in natural and managed systems.

Volunteers and supporters of CASA — and people unfamiliar with its work — heard stories of just how vital the group can be at Thursday's fundraising luncheon.
Court Appointed Special Advocates are volunteers who act on behalf of children in the foster care system.
Held to raise awareness and funds, the second annual luncheon also was aimed at potential CASA volunteers, according to Traci Corné, executive director of Coweta CASA.
Volunteers are asked to invite friends to the events. Members of the juvenile court staff and school counselors are also invited.
It's nice to have the school and court staff see the CASA workers in a little bit different light, Corné said.
"It's a really important connection to keep," she said.
Thursday's guest speaker was Stephen Ott, who serves as a "guardian ad litem" in Fayette County juvenile court. A guardian ad litem serves as the attorney for children who are going through deprivation proceedings or who otherwise end up dealing with the Department of Family and Children's Services.
Ott got his start in juvenile court as a SAAG — a special appointed attorney general.
SAAGs attorneys who represent DFCS in deprivation proceedings.
"I gave it up several years ago to become a guardian ad litem," Ott said.
Ott recalled when, many years ago, the judge "told us we're going to have a CASA."
At first, nobody really knew what it was. Ott thought it had something to do with the Office of the Child Advocate.
But after a few years, "the question is no longer what's the CASA? The question has become, Where's the CASA?" Ott said.
"Because anything that happens in that courtroom, regarding children in a deprivation case, we know the CASA knows. I can't go see every child on my case list every day. But a CASA is going to see these children," he said. "A CASA is going to have a better relationship with this child than anybody else in the system."
When the courts have questions about whether an individual plan has been created for a child, or whether the child ever got a psychological evaluation, "the case manager may not even know," Ott said. But the CASA will know.
"What a great difference it has made in the lives of children," he said of CASA programs in Georgia.
"In my mind, the CASA is the heart and soul of juvenile court," he said. In juvenile court, everyone has an interest in the outcome of the case. The judge has to do an "incredible balancing act."
The clerks hear and witness many awful things, but "there's not much that they can offer for the child. That's not their role," Ott said.
There is DFCS and there are the parents.
But, "who is caring about the kid? Who is thinking about the child? That is the CASA," Ott said. "That brings some heart when we make decisions in juvenile court."
As a guardian ad litem, Ott gets paid, but members of CASA are volunteers.
"It happens to be my most enjoyable job because of the value that I place on children and their childhood. But I still cannot be the CASA," Ott said. He can't go with the child to the doctor visit or the psychologist. "They (CASA) do that."
"The guardian is the legal advocate for the child, but who advocates for everything else? That's CASA. When placement isn't so good, it's CASA" that does something about it.
Ott shared some stories of the impact CASA has made on individual children's lives.
Recently, there was a young girl who had been institutionalized for "well over a year due to acting out."
"The parents say they would like to visit but never have. The CASA sees this young lady every week."
The CASA volunteer reported to Ott that "little was going on other than keeping this young lady in a stupor. She is medicated in a corner when I go visit."
There didn't seem to be any treatment going on and there didn't seem to be any plan for permanency, other than the institution.
"The volunteer says to me 'that is all wrong. We ought to have a better plan.'"
By December, the volunteer had found out that only one person, the stepmother, had ever observed the girl "acting out."
And she learned that the stepmother "despises and hates this young lady."
"We learn that indeed most of these things have been fabricated for the purpose of getting that young lady out of the home. And it worked," Ott said.
Eight days after the court hearing, "that child is in private placement. She is still there and thriving. There is no acting out," Ott said.
"Without the CASA the young lady is at the institution, medicated. No one else saw that. No one else even looked into it," he said.
There was another child who had disrupted several placements and was going to be sent to an institution. The case manager said that the child had no knowledge of any family members other than the parents, and really had nothing to say.
The volunteer made more than 50 phone calls and found relatives in Michigan. The relatives "have been looking for this child that nobody would tell them about. The kid didn't even know about them but they knew this child was out there," Ott said. On Monday, "we will finalize permanency to those relatives," Ott said.
He told the story of another young man, whom he saw because the boy had gotten into trouble at school. When Ott tried to speak to him, all the young man would do was grunt.
"I told him I'd spoken with his CASA and he will be here soon," Ott said. "The reply was, 'well, of course he will.'"
Ott said that was the most he'd ever heard the boy speak. "And then he says 'he's always here.' And I think wow, because this is the first time I've made it," Ott said.
It's been about eight months and the boy has had no further delinquency incidents.
"The value and the power of a relationship can't be lost," Ott said. "It's part of why my son does well, because he has relationships with a lot of people that care about him. It's why you may do your job, maybe you have these relationships."
Once the young man realized that somebody cared, "I guess he finally heard it."
"You can see how the CASA organization changes lives," Ott said.
He closed with one last story.
Ott comes from a large family and talked about how the name "Nana" always has special meaning. When his nephew was born, Ott's mother became Nana.
Ott had to go visit a sibling group in a group home. As he was waiting, a young girl, 7 or 7, was helping out the receptionist. But she was really waiting for someone. She kept asking, "Is she here yet?"
The receptionist told her "she'll be here, you know that."
The little girl was so excited, she was looking out the window. Ott discovered the little girl only ever had two visitors — her case manager and her CASA volunteer.
"It doesn't make all that much sense to me but… I understand that this is what happens. So I'm thinking about the young lady, thinking about the family." He thinks about his family that loves him. "I'm thinking about my MawMaw and my Nana, and I'm thinking, what are we doing with this young lady?"
The little girl keeps asking. "What if she's not coming?"
"These things pulled at my heart," Ott said.
Finally, the front door opens and a "very ordinary lady steps through." Ott sees her CASA name tag, and the secure door slams open and the little girl comes flying out, saying, "Nana, Nana, I love you. I knew you were coming."
"I leave you with that," Ott said. The children "may not ever tell you, or even mention a word. Maybe they just grunt at you," Ott said. But "these children need you. They need you desperately. The system needs you. It needs you desperately."
"We've got to help these kids, and it's up to us," Ott said. "It's up to everyone here."

Clip-Tags Plastic Wire Markers: Snap-On Cable Labels Are Here
Filed under: Cable Identification
Fact: Cable labeling is a necessary but sadly boring aspect of network management.
Lesser-Known Fact: Cable labeling is a lot more fun when the wire markers remind you of the Spokey-Dokes you used to snap onto your bike wheels back in elementary school.
Oh yeah!
Yes, I went there. I just compared a very interesting new form of wire marker to the '80s bike accessory that left baskets and handlebar streamers in the dust as they went zooming down the street to the neighbor kid's house with an unmistakable "slide-clack-slide-clack-slide-clack-slide-clack" and blur of neon colors. Meet the next wave of cable-labeling awesomeness: Clip-Tags Plastic Wire Markers from HellermannTyton®.
Clip-Tags are so simple, yet so functional. They have a tube-shaped design that's open along one side, so they can be easily slipped onto cables and wires, even if the cables are preterminated with larger connectors, or are already in use and can't be unplugged to have, say, a heat-shrink sleeve label slipped over the end. That's the "Spokey-ness" of them – a small, plastic, bead-like object that's designed to snap around another object in any configuration you choose.
Clip-Tags are available in single digits ranging from 1 to 9, so you're free to apply multiples in different combinations to create any number or code you need. They're easy to apply, too – Clip-Tags come packaged on a unique flared applicator that lines up right against the cable you're labeling so that you can simply slide a number into place, wherever you need it to be. There's no need to wrestle around with these things – they're very straightforward.
Another cool feature is that because Clip-Tags are only one digit long and have the ability to move a little bit, they still allow the labeled area of a network cable to flex and bend, unlike other wraparound labels that tend to add a degree of rigidity. So if your cables need a little wiggle room, these are perfect.
Plus, they're just like Spokeys… did I mention that?

By TERRY WILLISSports reporter
The four game winning streak came to an end last week for the Carbon Dino basketball squad. For Coach Ted Bianco and his team, the holidays proved not to be kind to the boys in blue. They headed down to play in the Hodson Classic tournament and came away with three straight losses.
On Monday Dec. 28, the Dinos took on Richfield and lost 52-45. On Tuesday they faced Moapa Valley out of Nev. and lost 63-58 in overtime. Then on Wednesday the same score and the same results, less the OT period, as Carbon went down 63-58 to Canyon View.
On Monday, Carbon matched Richfield's effort from the field. Each team hit 19 shots from the field, but it was the free throw line that hurt Carbon. They only managed to make 31 percent of their charity shots. The game stayed close until the fourth when Richfield pulled away and closed it down. Keny Seals was the top scorer for the game with 21 points. Beau Rich posted nine on the night.
Against Moapa Valley, Carbon actually carried the lead much of the game. Five ahead at the end of the first, they let Moapa slowly climb back in. Tied at the buzzer, Carbon was only able to hit four points in the OT period and let the game slip away. Again the difference was at the line for the Dinos. Even though they had a better percent than the day, it still came back to haunt them in the end.
Seals had another good scoring effort with 26 points. He was helped out by Daniel Peczuh with 10. Peczuh was able to hit a pair of threes in the effort.
In the final game of the tournament, Carbon jumped out first, but Canyon View tied it up at the half. Even though the Dinos stayed close, they just couldn't close it out and the win stayed out of their grasp. Peczuh and Seals were the offensive force again for the Dinos. They put up 19 points each as they tried to lead their team to victory.
Coach Bianco admitted it wasn't his team's best effort of the year. He was a bit frustrated with the free throw shooting and the team defense.
"Our defense did not play with the same intensity and focus as they did before the break. I'm not sure why. We also didn't shoot well and took a lot of shots. We weren't hitting form the outside and gave up some long rebounds and fast break points. But mostly if our defense had been as sharp as it usually is we could have stopped every one of these teams from scoring on us. We could have easily beat any of these teams."
But Bianco was not discouraged. He is confident that his team will learn form this and do the hard work required of them to regroup and start a new streak.
"We have a good group of boys this season and they are competitive," he added about the practices ahead.
Carbon will play their final preseason game on Saturday Jan. 9 on the road against Emery. They begin region play on the road the following week with a game on Tuesday Jan. 19 against Wasatch. That game will be at 5:15 p.m. just prior to the Carbon girls taking on the Wasps at 7 p.m.
The Carbon boys and girls basketball teams will play most of their region games on the same night this season. Start times will switch between 5:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. during the season.

Get a new perspective on the familiar tale of Frankenstein from community collaboration
Frankenstein & Friends
Frankenstein's problem may have been that he never had good marketing. Or a sympathetic ear. That's all about to change with "Frankenstein: A New Musical."
This community theater production began as a chance to bring theater companies together for a show, and it has continued for 25 years, he said. The group produces a show only once every three to four years — "And we only play one weekend. We don't want to compete with other groups who have shows going on."
"We look for plays that dealing humanity or human-ness," Greusel said. "This one asks the question of what is a man's soul — where do you find soul? Victor realizes that when he's created this body, he's overstepped his bounds and the rest of the show he's looking for redemption."
It's a family-friendly musical, according to Greusel: "When I first saw the word 'Frankenstein,' I thought 'oh, screws and white makeup,' but nothing could be further from what this play is about."
His own favorite song from it? "The Coming of the Dawn." That's about Victor's redemption," he said.
If you go
What: "Frankenstein, A New Musical"
Where: Marco Lutheran Church, 525 N. Collier Blvd., Marco Island
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 7 and 8; and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 9

Amnesty International has urged the governments of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia to arrest former US President George W. Bush for crimes of torture.
