Does Bill Gates have a crystal ball when it comes to television and the net?
Not in my opinion. Most web users are unaware of the fact that Gates and Microsoft completely dropped the ball on the whole "internet, world wide web" thingy. That's right. They didn't see the potential of it and even after they decided to make an attempt to slash and burn their way to the top of the world of search, they haven't been able to come up with more than a few market percentage points (though, I should be fair in pointing out that their lackluster performance applies to search---when it comes to portals, microsoft has a definite presence...how could it not be so when MSN is the default on so many new computers sold).
Here's Gates' latest prediction: within five years, the internet and high definition television will have merged in a way that could be described as "transformational". Hmmm. This is my guy-on-the-street opinion, but I don't think so.
If you look at the high definition tv market as it is now, it's not hard to see that it is stalling. Reason? The same reason I have for not watching my high def set very much: there' nothing to watch. Yes, you can watch discovery high def and HBO and Showtime, but even on those channels, the range of high definition programming is extreeeemmmmmeeelly limited. In fact, its so limited that I have told every friend who's expressed longing and admiration for my LCD high defintion tv to save their money. It's just not worth purchasing, not at the moment.
High definition sets are 1. too expensive and 2. lack programming. And this is further complicated by the fact that trying to watch non-high-definition programming on a high definition tv is like being returned to the age of rabbit ears. Yes, regular tv on an expenseive lcd or plasma tv looks horrible. And it gets even worse. DVDs, that look so crisp and colorful on a standard tube set, look awful on a high definition set.
Will things get better for high def tv owners? Not in the dvd realm for the forseeable future. Until the backers of blue-ray and hd-dvd finish slugging it out, there will continue to be two separate standards for high definition dvd watching. And two standards means that, depending on how well you chose your purchase, your expensive high definition dvd player could turn out to be obsolete, very fast.
This fact is not lost on would-be buyers who sit patiently on the sidelines waiting for a clear standard to emerge. But until a winner becomes obvious, don't count on high definition dvd players to start flying out of stores and into homes.
And, likewise, don't expect users to start buying high definition televisions in droves. And, further, don't expect the price of either piece of equipment to drop significantly, because that is a factor of economy of scale, i.e. the more they sell the lower the prices can drop. If you don't sell much of either product, the prices will continue to float around in the stratosphere, where most prospective-buyers are too sensible to go.
So, back to Gates and his prediction. Will he end up being right about the convergence of tv and the web. Perhaps oneday, but don't count on it happening within the next five years. There are simply too many other factors that play into it. And, of course, there's this. Many home users would simply rather use a computer for "computer things" and a tv for "tv things".
It's easy enough to see why Gates would latch onto the idea of convergence. After all, we see that on a daily basis with cell phones, which have now become portable cameras, video recorders, game players, and mp3 players all rolled into one.
However...cell phones are portable. And even they are not likely to ever replace standalone digital cameras, music players, or game consoles. In the home, it's likely that users will prefer to keep their television and computing devices separate and distinct, simply because the best experience (tv or net) is rendered by the device that distinctly serves it purpose, versus a device that attempts to be the at-home equivalent of a "jack-of-all trades" mobile phone.
Just my opinion, but I'm betting that Gates is wrong on this one.

DHEC offers ozone forecast
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control will now issue daily forecasts for ground-level ozone.
As we enter the Spring and Summer months, ozone impacts the air quality. Sunny and hot weather tends to cause ozone levels to rise. Emissions from cars, trucks, and lawn equipment also add to ozone levels. People can do their part in lowering ozone levels by carpooling, taking advantage of public transportation, and driving less.
High concentrations of ozone can cause breathing problems, especially for people who work or exercise outside. This forecast is created to help people stay healthy. Ozone action days will alert people when ozone levels are high. On these days, people are encouraged to reduce outdoor activities, especially those with respiratory issues. You can check out this new forecast on DHEC's website: http://www.scdhec.gov/ozone

Adap to hold sportsfest-A A +A
Monday, March 10, 2014
THE Association of Differently-Abled Persons Inc. (Adap) is all set to hold several competitions for persons with disabilities slated last week of March in celebration of the 77th Araw ng Dabaw Sports Festival.
Adap president Redendo Martinez, in a recent Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at NCCC Mall Promenade 2, said the events entered are basketball, table tennis and wheelaton for wheel chair users, volleyball for the deaf, goal ball for the visually impaired, intellectual sports for children with disabilities and chess for the visually impaired and physically handicapped.
Martinez said that this will be the third time that they will conduct basketball and volleyball games. "All ball games will follow the standard rules except that in volleyball, signage will be used for violation calls since the players are all hearing impaired," he said.
He added, "The visually impaired can also join the wheelaton for as long as they will have a guide. It will take place along Roxas Avenue to People's Park so that the people could really watch but with the assistance of the Traffic Management Center (TMC)."
He hoped that all differently-able persons in Davao City will participate in their events, saying, "All of these are part of our advocacy to have persons with disabilities from the city who will participate in the National PARA Games on April 24."
A total cash prize of P 37,500 was allocated by the Sports Development Division of the City Mayor's Office (SDD-CMO) for the Adap sportsfest. (MDC)

ISEA2006 :: Call for Participation :: Pacific Rim
Kristin O'Friel:
This is an invitation by the ISEA2006 Symposium and ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge to groups and individuals to submit proposals for exhibition of interactive art work and projects reflecting on the thematic of the Pacific Rim. This is the second and final call for artworks in this category.
Proposals Due: December 15th, 2005
Final Decisions: Feb 10, 2006
The political and economic space of the Pacific Rim represents a dynamic context for innovation and creativity. Convergent and divergent practices involving art, science, architecture and urban planning, engineering, industrial and interior design, communications, literature and performance are being manifested in new forms of cultural production and social experiences.
The complex relations and diversity of Pacific Rim nations is exemplified throughout the hybridized communities that comprise Silicon Valley including local indigenous peoples. As the 10th largest city in the United States, San Jose is an important portal on the eastern edge of the Pacific region, which shares deep historical and cultural connections that range from Latin America and the South Pacific to Southeast Asia and Asia. ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose Festival are highlighting the Pacific Rim defined in the broadest possible sense to include not only those states and nations that border the Pacific Ocean but also the geo-political, economic, social and historical frameworks of which they are part.
We are seeking proposals that address, but are not limited to, art work that emphasize radical and alternative responses to contemporary cultural conditions throughout the Pacific Rim. We want to encourage proposals specifically from emerging artists. Of particular interest are projects that focus on engagements and interaction strategies with Diaspora communities and local context as well as work that enable new discourses, platforms and explorations ...

"Post Post Modern" panel discussion tonight at SVA
Sorry if this is a repeat, I didn't see it posted here earlier. I'm in a panel discussion tonight at SVA, details below ...
Friday, April 28th 2006, 7pm
School of Visual Arts. 209 East 23rd Street,
(between 2nd & 3rd Ave.)
Artists Talk on Art is pleased to present 'Post Post Modern,
Signing off
Today is officially my last day at Rhizome, so I wanted to send out a
quick note and officially bid farewell. Actually, this isn't so much
a farewell, since I'll still be around, just as another member. The
only difference, really, will be that you will all have to put up
with my miscellaneous ramblings, without the benefit of me actually
writing code for you. ("Oh, great", I can hear some of you thinking.)
Patrick May has been in the office since February, and the transition
has gone better than I could've hoped. He'll be in touch with y'all
soon, but let me just say that he's hit the ground running and
already has a batch of fresh new ideas to improve the user experience
at Rhizome.
Patrick, Lauren, and Marisa make a phenomenal team, and it's going to
be a kick to stand back and watch where they take Rhizome in the
future. I'm happy to be moving on, but I have to admit I will miss
working with and for the other folks on staff.
I will also miss working with the Rhizome community, many of whom
I've had the privilege of getting to know well over the last three-
and-a-half years. I've enjoyed having so many people to learn from as
the field has continued to grow. And although some of our discussion
about Rhizome policy has been, mm, how you say, contentious, I always
kept in mind that it is mostly driven by the desire to see Rhizome,
and the entire field of new media arts, succeed. Without its
opinionated users, Rhizome wouldn't be what it is today, so thanks to
all of you.
As for my plans in the near future: Still unfixed, and right this
minute I suppose I like it that way. I'm actually going to be
vacationing a bit next month, with old friends to visit in Barcelona,
a friend's wedding in Minneapolis, and then quality time with my
family in Washington State. After that, who's to say? I'll be sure to
keep y'all posted, in between posting here about hallucinogenics and
XML and everything in between.
Thanks, everyone. And keep in touch,
Francis Hwang
ex-Director of Technology
Patrick May to be the next Director of Technology
Last November, I notified the Rhizome community that I would soon be
stepping down as Rhizome's Director of Technology. Today, I'm very
happy to announce that our next Director of Technology will be Patrick
Patrick comes to Rhizome with an exceptional background in both
technology and in the arts. His previous position at the publishing
company Source Media gives him extensive experience with developing and
maintaining large, content-driven sites with limited resources, and
this experience will come in handy at a highly dynamic,
community-oriented website like Rhizome. He is also active in the free
software and Ruby communities: He is the creator of the Ruby-Web
library, and has presented at the International Ruby Conference.
Patrick is also the cofounder and Director of Programming at the
Williamsburg-based artists' collective Open Ground, helping to guide
the consensus-based curatorial process that furnished Grand Street with
four years' worth of always surprising group shows. He is an artist
himself, and his creative practice incorporates a software library he
created that automatically publishes consecutive iterations of images
to an artists' blog; he discussed this tool at Rhizome's second
"Blogging and the Arts" panel discussion.
Being Rhizome's Director of Technology, of course, requires more than
just a knowledge of programming, and more than a familiarity with new
media arts. Rhizome has always been an undersized organization with
oversized ambitions, and we continue to explore ways to deepen the
nascent connections between art and technology. Patrick's resume hits a
lot of the right topics, but what's most important is that he's able to
think of the big picture--not just in terms of artworks and lines of
code, but also in terms of organizations and communities. I'm confident
that he will make the perfect partner for Lauren and Marisa as the
three of them lead Rhizome in the future. We've accomplished a lot in
the last year, and I'm excited to see what changes will come in the
years ahead.
We are expecting the transition process to work like this: Patrick will
come in on February 2nd, and he and I will work side-by-side throughout
February as I train him in. My last day will be March 3rd, but even
after then I'll still be available to Patrick & the organization in
I'm quite happy to leave this job in Patrick's capable hands. I hope
you all welcome him as kindly as you welcomed me.

Good thing Rhizome doesn't try to have an official stance on psychiatry
I'm not familiar with D&G's writings on psychiatry, but it's quite
possible to be critical of mainline psychiatry without necessarily
glamorizing the condition of schizophrenia. A lot of the good
"anti-psychiatry" theory moves to put such conditions out of the
individual context, and into the social context, which was part of
psychiatry's brief in the beginning but has been slowly leached out of
the practice as it became more closely lashed to modern technocratic
I agree with much of what Eric wrote here:

Though I'd go a little further and say that ultimately it may not be
correct to describe schizophrenia as a condition requiring a "cure" ...
You could also remove the normative aspect from psychiatry altogether
and simply that schizophrenia is a condition, a statistical outlier,
but not necessarily more or less healthy, just different.
I don't want to trivialize or glamorize the problems faced by those
with mental illnesses. In fact, my dad works in the industry, so I grew
up with all sorts of terrible stories about mental illnesses.
But if you're not normal, and that makes it difficult to live in
society, who's to blame for that, exactly? Homosexuality was only
removed from the DSM within the last 50 years. If you grew up gay in a
Christian fundamentalist household in a homophobic small town, and
revealing your desires to anybody might get you condemned or beaten or
killed, and then you grow up with serious intimacy issues, whose fault
is that?
Or, to take a much more harrowing example from the cutting edge of
psychiatric pathology: Some psychiatrists are beginning to look into
what is currently called Body Integrity Identity Disorder, which is the
overwhelming desire of a person to voluntarily amputate a very specific
part of their body. These patients (who are almost always men) feel
that a certain part of their body (almost always below the waist)
simply doesn't belong to them, and that they would be more whole
without it. Like pre-op transsexuals, they often dress the part, for
example by tying their leg back and wearing loose fitting pants that
are clipped up where the missing part would be.
And, although research on this is extremely preliminary, at this point
it would appear that the only known treatment is actually amputation.
Some of these patients are able to pursue this in a proper medical
setting, but as you might imagine some are forced to do it themselves,
using whatever tools you might imagine a person might use if they were
forced to self-amputate without the benefit of a medical staff, an
operating theatre, or anesthesia.
The New York Underground had a pretty amazing documentary on the
subject (I think two years ago), and a few of the interviewees were
people who had taken this step. They all looked astoundingly happy.
Their condition was cured. They were just without one leg or foot or
whatever ...
Now, this is pretty horrifying stuff, and it's clearly not normal in
the statistical sense, but why is it unhealthy? We know, for example,
that plenty of people who lose their limbs in accidents are capable of
living rich, fulfilling lives. So why can't the same be true for
somebody who loses his limb on purpose? And what should society's
response be to this? Should we make it easier for people to get, to
twist a Christian fundamentalist phrase, "amputation-on-demand"? Or
should we force them to pursue years of experimental treatments--shock
therapies, medication, aversion therapy, etc., etc.--in lieu of just
getting an amputation, which is on its own a very established, safe
medical procedure?
Anyway, back to schizophrenia ... It's quite possible that the world is
going to become increasingly hostile to its schizophrenics, largely as
a result of the spread of global capitalism. Cities are worse for
schizophrenics than the countryside, so a future in which more than
half the world's population is urban doesn't bode well for them. The
complex web of invisible power relations--whether technical, financial,
social, or legal--required to get along in the 21st century probably
don't do any good for the schizophrenic's propensity for paranoia.
Maybe the trade-offs are worth it, maybe they're not. I personally
can't claim to be pure in this respect, anyway: I live in a big city
and I work with the internet and I even find the Economist to be
interesting reading. But maybe it's a shame that we're implicitly
deciding that from now on, society has no place for the schizophrenic.
And maybe it's a copout to say that it's because of biology that they
don't fit in, when it's just as much because of culture.
Or maybe the decision isn't so final. Maybe the fragmentation of
culture that comes with the spread of information technology actually
works against the idea of reality as consensus--and thus in favor of
the schizophrenic. Any world that has a place for furries and centaur
porn and Everquest economies and transgenderism and people who dress up
like Uruk-Hai on the weekends might actually have a place for
schizophrenics, right? Who's to say.

Looking for nine fiction writers
Each writer will receive a $200 stipend for participation. Participating in this artwork will require a light, but ongoing commitment: perhaps an hour a week, from March to June.
No particular experience, or publications, are necessary. However, you should be mildly comfortable with technology, enough to use a website like MySpace or a blog host like Blogspot. It would also be okay if you had a friend who could help you with the technical stuff. Basically, the project involves a little tech setup, and I don't want to have to do a lot of tech support for other people.
If that doesn't sound too maddeningly vague, please let me know if you're interested by emailing me at email@example.com. I'd appreciate a few writing samples, and if you have any experience with improvisational anything (stand-up comedy, music, even live-action role-playing), it'd be useful to know about that, too. Also, please feel free to ask any other questions. Thanks!

|This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to WikiFur style and standards.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
DrJones (aka Doc Jones) is a fictional character.
The beginnings[edit]
While the nickname was initially inspired by the famous Indiana Jones series, the character didn't exist until a character had to be created for a group story that was part of the Jazz Jackrabbit community forums. In this light, DrJones became a blue-furred male rabbit. Soon after, because the site Lori Central gained a large interest, DrJones became Lori Jackrabbit's boyfriend and later her fiancé.
DrJones was known for a long while under this name, but was soon renamed to Doc Jones to avoid confusion with Jonesy Tawner. Doc Jones is 5.5 feet tall and has a slightly muscular build. Like his counterpart Jonesy Tawner, he has no fur markings, his entire pelt of a deep blue colour.
The character[edit]
His abilities consist of shapeshifting, though its use limited by size and mass. The larger a shape he chooses to assume, the more strength that will sap. One unique ability was his ability to shift into non-organic items as well, known to become a spaceship and car on occasion.
In the original story he arrived at Carrotus of the Jazz Jackrabbit universe at the time of the second game Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and met Lori. They fell in love and got closer much to the creator's surprise as he intended it all to be a fair chase, with Lori's creator as judge.
Several stories have been released featuring Doc Jones and Lori Jackrabbit, all available on Lori Central.
As time progressed, the creator of DrJones moved on and got more involved in the furry fandom, meeting new people. This prompted him to create a spinoff character off DrJones, Jonesy Tawner, which was originally just one of Doc Jones' shapeshifted forms. This form, however, has never been used story-wise. After a while Jonesy Tawner took up more and more of the creator's interest, it soon became the main character where as Doc Jones, had become secondary, eventually unused as an avatar but featured in several events to come.
The creator[edit]
The creator of DrJones and Jonesy Tawner as well as several other characters is active in the furry fandom as DrJones and hosts various sites, maintaining the server together with Hiryu and Pegla such as Bloobunni.com, Lori Central as well as a few hosted pages for friends and acquaintances such as Dreamweaver's Dreamweaver Studios website and Doug Winger's Doug's Sekrit Site.
The creator was born in Poland between 1978 and 1984. He reads, writes and speaks three languages fluently, being English, Dutch and Polish. He graduated mid-April 2007 as a BA Business Intelligence/Information Technology. He is currently employed at a major European cable provider as a junior business architect. He has considerable experience with and knowledge of computers, is an avid retrogamer, enjoys old computers and handhelds. His pastimes also involve going out with friends, watching movies and tinkering with various technologies.
To his favorites belong movies from the 80's, anime, Japanese series and classic 1950 and 1960's movies such as North by Northwest.

iPhone 2.1 Firmware Update Fixes Many Problems
Mobile 84 Views
By: Albert S
Apple's iPhone 2.1 firmware update is definitely a keeper according to numerous user reports and website reviews. Fixes include better reception, reduced dropped calls, longer battery life, reduced crashing and hanging, faster application installation, improved email reliability, and more.
Looks like the iPhone is finally out of "beta", eh? IMHO, if you have the patience, it's usually smart to wait a while before buying anything. That way, the early adopters aka beta testers aka suc…err techno hip have a chance to sort out the bugs.

God bless you
Genesis 6:1-22
Noah - One Man
We live in times that are so similar to Noah's, the heart of man hasn't changed at all from that time to this, it is still deceitful and desperately wicked Jeremiah 17:9. But neither has God's power changed or his ability and willingness to save sinners.. amen Isaiah 59:1
It was a privilege to be shown things about Noah and the Lord opened my eyes and just shared some wonderful things with me , which I would like to share with you now
We are modern day Noah's in certain ways
Vs 5- We live right in the midst of a world that is continually evil and does not respect God's laws, we are part of this world, but we are not of it John 17:15-16, we have a different and unique calling, to be holy ( set apart ) and to serve the one true God.
Vs 8- 9 In all this evil, there was one man, Noah who walked with God, I find that truly amazing, there has always been through scripture, the ones who have stood up for truth and walked serenely and dynamically with their God. I am reminded of what God said of Job in Job 1:8, would God have said the same thing about me? We often say that because of the situation we are in, we can't have that close fellowship with God, but because of our situation, we are able to have a close fellowship with our Lord, the difficulty of our earthly life, should drive us to a closer and deeper walk with God, as we rely on Him.. totally and completely.
Noah found favor, God is looking for men and women, who he can pour his favor out unto, he searched the whole earth looking for someone, he is still doing that today.
Noah also receives specific instructions on what to do to save the animals vs 14-21, just like us, we have received the Great Commission from our Lord, on saving souls, no wonder this was virtually the last thing JESUS said to his disciples that was recorded, don't you think Matthew is trying to tell us something,?
This is an amazing thing and isn't this true of all God's servants, he did all that the Lord commanded him vs 22, pretty simple this Christian life isn't it. It is simply a matter of doing as you are told, you are not your own, you are the Lord's.
What would of happened , if Noah has used shortcuts to building the ark. God had given Him specific instructions, told Him to build it in gopher wood. What if He had said ' can't find much gopher wood round these parts' and used other materials. If God commands us to do something he will give us the resources. We are here to do as we are told by the Lord, not to make our own plans.. amen
So Noah had to go and fetch one of each species and bring them into the ark, just like us, we are commanded to go and bring every nation , male and female into the ark of God's love, yes we are told to go and bring people of all nations to the true ark, which of course is our precious savior, Jesus. We are never told in scripture to stay in church and be complacent, if you aren't getting out as a church into your community, city and you are expecting people to come to you, then you are disobeying the great commission given by the LORD. You know you can put on great evangelism programmes in our churches, but the test of every christian and church is how effective they are in their community.. amen
Once the people were safe in the ark, they were truly safe, once we come to the true protection of Jesus, we are safe in his arms, there is an ark today and it is Jesus , to bring people into the safe refuge of his love is an amazing privilege, he has given us this job, lets get to it church.
God is still looking for men and women who will walk with Him and obey Him. The christian life is not complicated. It is a question of walking with God.. not ahead of Him or behind Him and obeying what he tells you to do.
In 1858 in New York City, three men met for a prayer meeting one lunchtime.. one year later 100,000 souls had been saved. The Welsh revival of 1904, came about because a few ladies and one man, prayed and sought God like never before. We are the only people who can change the world, because we are sent by the One who is Love and Hope with the glorious message of the gospel.. amen
Are you prepared to walk with God and obey his voice?.Whatever the cost
God bless you

|Question: Why do the mounting lag bolts keep snapping inside of my wall?
|Answer: This can happen with any lag bolts being iinstalled. Everything Depends on if there is a knot in the wooden stud and how much torque you''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''re applying. You need to pre drill into the stud as deep as you will be screwing down the lag bolt. A simple lag bolt being tighten too fast or too strong can split the wooden stud and cause the bolt to easily break. It is recommended to pre-drill a hole the size of the bolt being installed, slowly torque the bolt in. Do not overtighten the bolt. Since over tightening the bolt may cause it to break.

"No actually, we're just good friends." I work all day and play all night, and i need a woman to treat me right. Is that a song lyric? If not, I claim it. I run a shop that restores and customizes old cars, and we're crazy busy and I love it! When I'm not there, I'm jammin with my band, and I do believe we're gonna make it. To the toppermost of the poppermost!! But I've yet to have the girl of my dreams pull up in an old Mustang, and its hard to meet anyone in a loud, strobing club and have an intelligent conversation. Which brings me here, where I can lay it all out and say my piece, basically present myself like a platter of orange chicken at a chinese food buffet, and see what happens. I have a soft spot in my heart for the absurd, in movies, music (oh how i love music!) and in general life instance-type moments. I tend to be somewhat sarcastic, and people who are too happy frighten me. I love the Bonzo Dog Band! Last November I flew to England just to follow them around for a week on their 40th anniversary reunion tour! Unfortunately, I had to go by myself...hmm, say...will you go with me to their 40-and-a-halfth? Sometimes my mind jumps around, but i'm working towards getting better at completing...who wants ice cream? my treat!

Although this blog is usually for questions posed to me, I've just read an article that made me feel sick.
3 boys of South Africa have been confirmed to have been starved, tortured and killed at a camp that their parents sent them to so they can become 'Real Men'. Yes you read it correctly, their parents sent them to a camp that resulted in their deaths because they boys were 'effeminate or gay'.
I think you know what im about to tell you next. Why was there a problem with these boys being effeminate and/or gay? The families were Christians! I really want to be surprised, but I'm not. Because these boys had been born a way different, either in preferring a gender that men 2000 years ago didn't approve of, or simply being less masculine, they were killed.
Un-Christian you are saying? They arent real Christians? They seem to think that they are. So shall we look a little more into the torture these boys had to go though for 10 weeks at the hands of this 'modern inquisition'? Handcuffed to a bed through the night, not allowed to go to the bathroom, forced to eat their own faeces. Beaten with planks of wood if he failed to do the grueling manual labour that would make him 'a man' and have a pillow held over their heads and shocked with a stun gun. But this is all okay because it would save the boys from going to hell.. it sounds like they were already there.
The article if anyone wants to look a little further into it.. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/wwjtd/2013/04/what-can-motivate-a-person-to-think-that-torture-is-a-lesser-crime-than-love/

Drought, climate change, forest practices elevate Utah's wildfire risk
Drought could make this summer especially busy with wildfires, warn forest and climate researchers at Utah State University.
A changing climate is one significant factor in the forecast now and in future years.
So is the hazard created by modern forest management, said Michael Jenkins, associate professor in USU's Quinney College of Natural Resources. Aggressive management has been "essentially eliminated," and dry forest undergrowth has built up, turning parts of Utah into tinderboxes, he said.
"Forests today are in a much different state than they were 200 years ago when fires were more common," Jenkins said. "We have suppressed fires for 100 years, which has allowed fuels to build up, trees to get old, forests to decline and die."
Meanwhile, Utah is in the second year of drought in a six-year dry trend, based on broad patterns tracked at the Utah Climate Center. And, while precipitation has held steady in recent years, warming temperatures mean more of that precipitation is falling as rain instead of snow.
This timing shift is also important for water managers and others who rely on runoff to supply water for homes and farms, said State Climatologist Rob Gillies.
"If there is a lot of snow and the temperatures are relatively cool during the springtime, then the snow melts slowly through the soil," he said. "If you have a small amount of snow and then it rains, the soil becomes saturated very quickly and the rain just runs off."
The links between wildfire and climate also came up elsewhere on Tuesday.
Jennifer Marlon, associate research scientist at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, told reporters that her research on 3,000 years of wildfires shows a strong correlation between wildfire, drought and warming. In fact, the tie is so robust, that temperature and precipitation can be used to predict wildfire.
"Generally, when you increase the temperature, you get more fire," she said, noting that longer seasons also contribute to the trend.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said in a statement to a Senate committee that his agency is facing increasingly extreme wildfires and challenges associated with the trend. He noted wildfires burn twice as many acres a year now as they did four decades ago.
"Last year, the fires were massive in size, coinciding with increased temperatures and early snow melt in the West," he said. "The largest issue we now face is how to adapt our management to anticipate climate-change impacts and to mitigate their potential effects."
According to the Forest Service, fire suppression costs now eat up almost half of the agency's budget, while fighting wildfires used just 13 percent of the budget in 1991. Meanwhile, the agency said its 10-year average cost for fighting fires has increased to more than $1 billion in 2010 and beyond.

Class Notes: Jacques Cousteau's grandson pays a visit to Collier schools
In our district, technology is used to enhance the education taking place in our classrooms each and every day. Folks in our Instructional Technology department do a wonderful job with that, making sure teachers have the tools they need to make it all happen.
A great example of how it works was celebrated just recently, when Lely Elementary School first-grade teacher Megan Noe logged the millionth view of a Discovery Education digital educational on-demand video on the Discovery Education website. Noe, and her students, did so to view "The Magic School Bus Spins a Web."
Now to put this into perspective, this milestone wasn't the millionth view in Florida, or nationwide: it was the millionth view within Collier County Public Schools. While Discovery Education acknowledges that a handful of larger school districts in the U.S. may have made it to a million quicker, Collier is by far the per-capita champion they tell us, given our size (43,000 students).
To help us celebrate, Discovery Education brought their chief environmentalist, conservationist and educator Philippe Cousteau, Jr. to town. He was impressed by the fact that the school district is bringing 21st century education into the classroom.
"Kids today learn through media, video games, and the Internet while away from school," said Cousteau. "It's incumbent upon us to provide those same types of tools and resources in the classroom – and that is what you are doing!"
Cousteau, Jr., grandson of legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau, and son of Philippe Cousteau, Sr., spoke with students districtwide as his visit with Golden Gate Middle School seventh graders was shown live on the Education Channel. Cousteau, Jr. also addressed a school-wide assembly of Lely Elementary School students.
He shared his personal inspirational story as well as tales from his explorations around the globe, most of which have also been shared with the world on TV, on Animal Planet or possibly one of the other Discovery Communications cable TV channels.
Cousteau, Jr.'s message to our students: "It's not that you can make a difference, everything you do makes a difference when it comes to the environment. You are not just the leaders of tomorrow; you are the leaders of today. And you have the power to make the world a better place!"
Cousteau, Jr. is also noted for his work with another legend, crocodile hunter Steve Irwin. In Irwin's final documentary, "Ocean's Deadliest," the two search for the world's most dangerous sea creatures off the coast of Australia. It was while they were filming that Irwin lost his life. Cousteau, Jr. finished the project in tribute to his friend. Great show! It still runs, from time to time, on Animal Planet.

A judge decided Monday to keep the teens in custody while authorities continue to investigate. Currently, the teen suspects face juvenile charges of first-degree murder, armed criminal action and burglary.
The teens are accused of killing 70-year-old Paul Brooks and his wife, 69-year-old Margaret Brooks, of Baldwin, in Michigan's Lake County. Their bodies were found Thursday night at a home south of Table Rock Lake, where they were seasonal residents.
A man saw two suspicious young men near the home and held them at gunpoint until authorities arrived. The teens had recently run away from Lives Under Construction Ranch, a nearby facility for at-risk youth.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Basic health needs are not available to poor slum people in Srikalahasti town, AP, India. Incidence of diseases like Filariasis (LF),Malaria and malnutrition rate are high. Many people do not have awareness about health and hygiene. STEPS will provide healthcare and health education to poor slum dwellers. People with Malaria, LF suffer from its effects over their entire lifetime. LF develops into chronic conditions, leads to body deformities, causes social stigma and increased medical expenses.
How will this project solve this problem?
STEPS will provide health care,education,drugs and bednets to LF&Malaria patients free of charge in Health centre. Conducts free health camps & house visits. With this we can provide health services to slum people, able to reduce LF& Malaria cases.
Potential Long Term Impact
The project will provide health care and awareness for 19000 slum people. 100 Filariasis patients will be provided clinical care. As a result of this program, there will be an improvement in the health of slum people and better care of Filariasis patients. This will lead to awareness among people about diseases. By partnering with communities and teaching people to make healthy choices, we can improve their health. Health education empowers people to take care of themselves and their families.

2008 Annual Report
2. Determine net GHG emission (CO2, CH4 and N2O) of current agricultural systems in existing typical and alternative agricultural systems.
3. Determine the environmental effects (water, air and soil quality) of the new agricultural systems developed to reduce GHG emission and increase soil C storage.
Note: All participating units will address Objective 1. Those units with the capacity to measure trace gases will also address Objective 2. While those with the capacity to measure other environmental parameters will also address Objective 3. Scenarios 1 and 2 correspond to Objective 1, Scenario 3 corresponds to Objective 2 and Scenario 4 corresponds to Objective 3.
Minimizing net GHG emission: This system differs from #2 because N2O and CH4 emission must also be considered. How does this management scenario compare with #2? What is the sequestration rate and net GHG balance when all GHG emission are considered? Agriculture is the main source of N2O and CH4 to the atmosphere. Therefore, data will be collected by the units that have the capability and capacity to determine N2O and CH4 on the treatments under study in scenarios 1 and 2. Practices will be developed to decrease the emission of N2O and CH4. Each unit that addresses this scenario will determine the number of sub treatments it will research, since there will be many variations on practices to potentially maximize C sequestration.
Maximizing environmental benefits: Carbon sequestration may well become part of a larger conservation benefit package. Land managers and policy makers will be interested in tradeoffs among management options. With careful management, how can soil C sequestration and GHG emission be balanced with water quality, air quality, and soil quality goals? Units capable of evaluating environmental benefits and C sequestration will be encouraged both to study the individual issue or issues that they can address (water quality, air quality, or soil quality goals) and to collect data that may contribute information that is consistent with the needs of the 'larger conservation benefit package' that may be implemented by USDA or other action agencies.

5.Significant Activities that Support Special Target Populations

I'm currently reading Matthew Gale's Dada & Surrealism, an entertaining and authoritative primer on two of the most important, yet frequently misunderstood, art movements of the early-20th century. The book does a fine job of evoking the passion that these artists had for their work. Creating art was not a 9-to-5 for any of these artists; they lived and breathed their art to an extent that is perhaps difficult to understand nowadays.
Both movements happened in a competitive creative climate: artists would intentionally provoke audiences to the point of physical riots, art critics would challenge artists to duels over stylistic disagreements, artists would publish magazines to deride the work of contemporaries. In this type of challenging environment, boundaries were inevitably shattered and creative breakthroughs made.
To bring this back to animation, the book notes that a few of the Dada artists, like Viking Eggeling and Hans Richter, also moved into experimental animation. In the early-1920s, they were creating pioneering pieces of abstract animation in Germany alongside other artists like Oskar Fischinger and Walter Ruttman. The combined output of these artists would have a major influence on future abstract animators like Len Lye, Norman McLaren and beyond. This sentence in the book about Eggeling caught my attention in particular: "Despite the relative simplicity of the technology, the production of [Horizontal-Vertical Orchestra and Diagonal Symphony] was a financial and physical strain and led to Eggeling's premature death in 1925."
The thought of an animation artist dying for his art is a powerful beautiful sentiment. A quick search online turns up a website that says the cause of Eggeling's death was septic angina, a type of food poisoning, so I'm not exactly sure where Gale's information comes from, but reading about the dedication of various artists throughout the book, it's not difficult to imagine that an artist like Eggeling could work himself to the point of death. It is indicative of the commitment that artists felt towards their work and how far they were willing to push themselves in pursuit of their artistic ideals.
The wonders of the Internet allow us instant access to the film that did Eggeling in, Diagonal Symphony, a silent abstract short that was completed in 1924, but didn't debut in Berlin until 1925. Eggeling died six days after the film's first public screening. The same site, UbuWeb, also offers examples of early abstract animation by Hans Richter and Walter Ruttman.

NYPD will deploy 'harmless' gas into subway in terror response drill
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On April 26, 2013 @ 12:20 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,War on Terror | Comments Disabled
April 26, 2013
Editor's note: Recall scientists from the Fort Detrick biological weapons program releasing nontoxic bacteria in the New York subway in the 50s and 60s.
The New York City Police Department announced Wednesday that it will deploy, then track, what it calls "harmless" gases into the city's subway system over three non-consecutive days this summer.
The plan, to be enacted in July, will investigate New York's readiness to handle a chemical terrorist attack by dispersing the colorless gas and tracing it as it flows through the city, according to Scientific American. The test is expected to cost $3.4 million and is scheduled to be carried out in all five boroughs and dozens of stations on 21 of the city's 34 subway lines.
"The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax," police commissioner Ray Kelly said in a statement.

DULUTH - Gwinnett County eighth-graders interested in attending the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology can soon access information about the charter school's registration process.Registration information will be available Saturday on the Gwinnett County Public Schools Web site, www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us, and the GSMST Web site, www.gsmst.org, school officials said. Information will also be available at GCPS middle schools. Students and their parents will have about three months to review information, learn about the school's rigorous curriculum and complete the registration documents before the Jan. 23 deadline. Informational meetings will be held in several locations throughout the county before the deadline. The dates, times and locations of those meetings will be announced on the school's Web site in November. Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology is a system-sponsored charter school approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Education. Enrollment is open to all current eighth-grade students who live in Gwinnett County and who complete promotion requirements. The school will accept 250 students for the incoming freshman class, the third class to join the high school. If the number of registrations exceeds the school's capacity, the school system will conduct a random lottery to determine who will be accepted. GSMST opened in 2007 on the Duluth High campus. In 2010, the school will move to its permanent location in Lawrenceville.

Proposed 9/11 Museum Admission Charge is Too Steep: Editorial

It is stunning that the organization building the 9/11 museum at the World Trade Center plans to charge a lofty admission fee. Blame a lack of sensible planning.
For Staten Islanders, who lost so much at Ground Zero — indeed for all New Yorkers — the proposed charge of $20 to $25 to enter the underground site is asking too much.
Remaining free of charge is the memorial plaza, which opened in 2011. It features twin reflecting pools at the scene where terrorists left nearly 3.000 people dead.
But it might cost a family of four up to $100 to visit the museum, which pays tribute to the victims with multimedia displays, artifacts and archives. It is to open in April 2014.
