To vote or not to vote?
NEW YORK -- As the players' union prepared to host representatives from all 30 teams Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the plans told CBSSports.com that executives from the National Basketball Players Association will be open-minded about whether the league's latest proposal should be put to a vote by the full membership.
The primary purpose of the meeting will be to educate player reps about the details and ramifications of the NBA's 50-50 proposal, which commissioner David Stern has told executive director Billy Hunter in writing that he has until 5 p.m. Wednesday to accept or be faced with a far worse offer. Player reps also will be informed of the other options at their disposal if the union rejects the deal and the league forwards what it is calling its "reset" proposal -- which includes a 47 percent share of revenues for the players, a hard salary cap and rollbacks of existing contracts, among other system restraints that are far worse than those in the standing proposal.
But union officials also expect that player reps will have polled their teammates and will present their views as to whether players, as a whole, want to vote on the deal, reject it, or seek a vote to dissolve the union through decertification and take their fight to the federal courts.
"I'm expecting a diversity of opinions, quite frankly," said the person with knowledge of the format for Tuesday's meeting.
This was the case Monday, as players were active in expressing their opinions to their agents and via social media, with the only consensus being that players are divided on what the next steps should be. Some, like Kevin Martin of the Rockets and Steve Blake of the Lakers, are pushing for a vote. Others, like Cavaliers player rep Anthony Parker, say they're opposed to the deal and would vote against it.
Nothing will be known for sure until the player reps meet with union leaders Tuesday. And to some extent, further conversations will be required between the NBPA and NBA negotiators to clear up certain technical aspects of the proposal -- such as a provision the league has asked for to account for a scenario in which player salaries exceed their 50 percent guarantee by more than the 10 percent escrow withholding in the proposal, up from the previous level of eight percent, sources said.
Indeed, while no meetings between the two sides were scheduled as of Monday night, a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com that NBPA executives were hopeful that further conversations could be scheduled with the league before the Wednesday deadline.
While union president Derek Fisher and outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler excoriated the league's latest proposal after talks broke down early Sunday and executive committee members are not in favor of presenting it to the rank-and-file for a vote, union negotiators believe that some minor tweaks to unresolved system issues could make the deal more palatable. Among the issues, for example, would be permitting teams above the luxury-tax line to execute sign-and-trade transactions -- a detail the two sides are at odds on despite it only occurring five times during the previous six-year agreement.
Union executives will meet at 1 p.m. Tuesday at a Manhattan hotel with player reps, with all 30 teams expected to be represented either by their reps or alternates.

LeBron comes home ready to play villain
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James strolled into Quicken Loans Arena at 5:35 p.m. ET Thursday night, dressed all in black.
The villain, dressed for the part.
He was all smiles about 2 1-2 hours before his first game in Cleveland since leaving the Cavs to join the Miami Heat in July.
Within minutes, the King was on his former court, putting up a dizzying array of jumpers and working up a sweat while listening to his pregame motivational music through black-and-red ear buds.
After one clockwise rotation around the court, James wiped sweat from his brow and shouted across the court to former teammate J.J. Hickson, whose pregame jumpers weren't falling with quite the regularity as LeBron's.
"Better shoot some ___ layups," James shouted, smiling widely. "Better shoot some ___ layups. Can't make a damn shot."
Hickson continued shooting and smiled, but didn't turn around.
When he was finished with his customary pregame shooting -- for the first time here as an opponent -- James slapped hands with Cavs assistant coach Chris Jent and embraced the man who was James' personal assistant of sorts on former head coach Mike Brown's staff. James also shared embraces with Hickson and Anthony Parker, but did not do his customary pregame media availability.
That break from routine was announced minutes after Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had finished saying that his goal for this extraordinarily hyped game was to "keep it normal."
There was nothing normal about this night.
Spoelstra talked about taking care of "our two brothers," meaning LeBron and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who joined James in bolting Cleveland for Miami but was expected to receive a warm reception from the sellout crowd of 20,562 -- in stark contrast to the venom directed at James.
"This is an extreme environment tonight, there's no way around it," Spoelstra said in the crowded hallway outside the visiting locker room -- where James would soon be suiting up for the first time in his eight-year career. "So we've got to stay in the moment."
The moment, finally, had arrived.

Preseason Primers: Cavaliers
The misnomer about LeBron James leaving Cleveland is that people thought fans in Northeast Ohio were mad at him for leaving. Wrong. They were mad at him for the way he left. So with the first post-LeBron training camp around the corner, the Cavs' brass are hoping the fan base is as realistic and patient as they will be as they recover from the Decision and all that it wrought. Internally, the Cavs have moved on. They have a new coach with rebuilding experience (Byron Scott) and a new front-office team with a lot of promise and assets at their disposal (GM Chris Grant and VP of basketball ops David Griffin).
Personnel-wise, no one inside the organization is putting any limits on what this team can do. The bad: They lost LeBron, and simply won't recover in the short term. The good: They still believe they have the defensive foundation that Mike Brown built, along with enough shooters (Anthony Parker, Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson), former All-Stars (Antawn Jamison) and defensive dynamos (Varejao) to be competitive until the opportunity to pounce on a major personnel upgrade presents itself. Until then, here's your preseason primer on the Cavs without you-know-who:
Training camp site: Independence, Ohio
Training camp starts: Sept. 28
Key additions: Ramon Sessions (trade), Ryan Hollins (trade), Joey Graham (free agent), Christian Eyenga (draft)
Key subtractions: Shaquille O'Neal (free agent), Delonte West (trade), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (free agent), Sebastian Telfair (trade), plus franchise identity, millions in ticket/merchandise sales, and the very soul of a tortured, doomed sports populace (i.e. some guy named ... oh, never mind).
Likely starting lineup: Williams, PG; Parker, SG; Joey Graham, SF; Jamison, PF; Anderson Varejao, C.
Player to watch: J.J. Hickson. He's the guy the Cavs refused to give up in any trade scenario for Jamison or Amar'e Stoudemire. With you-know-who out of the picture, Hickson should benefit from increased touches and has a chance to be a bright spot as the otherwise dismal post-you-know-who era begins.
Chemistry check: Williams and Jamison both thought they were coming to Cleveland to win titles with you-know-who. Well, with you-know-who having taken his you-know-whats to South Beach, it will be interesting to watch how these veterans approach a daunting rebuilding project.
Camp battles: Graham, Jamario Moon and Jawad Williams will have a lively competition to replace you-know-who at small forward.
Biggest strength: If you take the glass-half-full approach, this is actually the ideal opportunity for Scott to re-establish a winning culture and instill his usual combination of defense, toughness, up-tempo offense and conditioning without getting pushback from cranky veterans who have grown tired of him. (That comes later.) Also, as difficult as this is for Cavs fans to swallow, the Cavs acquired some very useful assets in the sign-and-trade transaction that ultimately sent you-know-you to Miami. With multiple future first- and second-round picks, expiring contracts and a $14.5 million trade exception, the Cavs are positioned nicely when the right opportunity presents itself. They could've burned cap space this summer on average players as an emotional reaction to you-know-who's departure. But Grant doesn't – and won't – operate that way. He will be unemotional and methodical, which is how Cavs fans should want him to be. The addition of Griffin, the former Suns executive, gives Cleveland a keen and connected personnel man to team with Grant; it has the makings of one of the finest front-office tandems in the league.
Glaring weakness: Who's going to score, defend, perform chase-down blocks, sell tickets, toss talc, pose for idiotic pregame mock celebratory productions, star in hour-long reality TV shows stabbing his hometown in the back, and generally just save the world? Someday, someone besides you-know-who.

Turkoglu not a one-team show
While Hedo Turkoglu is being wined and dined in two time zones by the Portland Trail Blazers, his other potential suitors aren't sitting around waiting for them to kiss each other good night.
The Toronto Raptors, for one, are deliberating what it would take to make Turkoglu an offer that would top the the five-year, $50 million proposal that Portland can offer, as reported early Wednesday by CBSSports.com. According to a person familiar with the situation, the Raptors are mulling whether they would be better off making a pre-emptive strike for Turkoglu -- which would entail renouncing the rights to Shawn Marion, Carlos Delfino, and Anthony Parker -- or trying to keep those players and sign a mid-level free agent. Toronto has yet to offer an extension to 2010 free agent Chris Bosh; that decision is tied to the others. And Turkoglu isn't the only free agent Toronto is considering. League sources indicated early Thursday that the Raptors also were contemplating an offer to restricted free agent David Lee. Any offer to Lee, by definition, would be in the $8-$10 million range so it would test the Knicks' threshold for matching. And Lee's list of potential suitors shrank by one Wednesday when Memphis traded Quentin Richardson to the Clippers for power forward Zach Randolph.
With so many moving parts -- and with Turkoglu having entertained Blazers coach Nate McMillan in Orlando Wednesday night with plans to visit Portland on Thursday -- it is clear that the recruitment of Turkoglu isn't a one-team show. Turkoglu's camp expected Portland to extend its formal offer during the course of Turkoglu's recruiting trip to the Pacific Northwest on Thursday.
If Portland landed Turkoglu, it would be the first big-ticket free-agent signing of GM Kevin Pritchard's reign. While some involved might view Toronto's preparation of a pre-emptive offer as brash or shameless, this is why the negotiating period was created. Free agents may negotiate and consider offers from July 1-7, but can't sign on the dotted line until the league and players association set the salary cap and luxury tax on July 8.

Raptors look to deal, but not with N.Y.
The silly season gets sillier by the day. A reasonable, workable trade scenario involving the Knicks and Raptors was floated on Bulls.com by veteran NBA writer Sam Smith -- Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry to Toronto for Jermaine O'Neal and Anthony Parker. Sounds good. The Knicks get something for Marbury, and J.O.'s monstrous contract comes off the books in time for the 2010 free-agent derby. Only one problem: The Knicks and Raptors haven't discussed a trade in months, according to an executive familiar with both teams' plans.
One thing is clear: Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo is looking to deal. O'Neal isn't fitting in with Toronto, and Colangelo is under tremendous pressure to turn this team around to appease Chris Bosh, who has the all-important player option in 2010. A likely trade chip will be Parker and his $4.6 million expiring contract. Toronto will come up numerous trade scenarios floated and discussed between now and the Feb. 19 deadline, and is all but certain to pull the trigger on something. Just not this one.
Marbury's buyout talks continue to creep forward, but a person with ties to Marbury said he doesn't expect anything to be finalized before January. The Knicks have given Marbury permission to find a deal with another team, but Marbury's representative, Hal Biagas of the NBA Players Association, is playing that side of it close to the vest.
There will be no trade market for Curry, on the books for $31.5 through 2010-11, until he gets on the floor and plays. He hasn't logged a minute since preseason due to a knee injury.

Marks Barfield Architects building 530-foot-tall observation tower in Brighton, England
Friday, August 8, 2014
Henry Melcher.
The husband-and-wife team behind the London Eye observation wheel plans to one-up themselves with an observation tower in Brighton, UK that's about 100 feet taller. For the seaside town, David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects have created Brighton i360, a 531-foot-tall, futuristic-structure that lifts visitors up high above the English Channel.
Origami Architecture: Make's Portable Pop-Up Kiosks Fold Metal Like Paper
Friday, March 7, 2014
Anna Bergren Miller.
|Brought to you with support from:
Inspired by Japanese paper-folding, Canary Wharf booths make a sculptural statement whether open or shut.
Make Architects' folding kiosks for Canary Wharf in London bring new meaning to the term "pop-up shop." The bellows-like structures were inspired by Japanese paper folding. "[The kiosk] had to be solid, but lightweight, so then that led us to origami," said Make lead project architect Sean Affleck. "[You] end up with something very flimsy; add a few folds and creases, and suddenly the strength appears. In the folds, the shape appears."
Bikers Go Airborne: Foster + Partners' SkyCycle Would Wind Through London
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
Scott Kelly.
Foster + Partners have collaborated with London landscape architecture firm Exterior Architecture and urban planners Space Syntax in developing a proposal for an extensive system of elevated-bike paths in London.
The project entails the construction of over 130 miles of pathways along routes that parallel those of an existing system of rail lines that already weaves in and around the city. Suspended above the train tracks, cyclists would access SkyCycle through the over 200 hydraulic platforms and ramps that would act as entry points.
Sound Artist Chris Watson Maps the Aural Landscape of Sheffield, England
Thursday, October 31, 2013
Elizabeth Fazzare.
Sound recordist Chris Watson has returned home for his most recent project: creating an aural map of the contemporary landscape of Sheffield, England. Two years ago, the Guardian reported, Museums Sheffield's Millennium Gallery asked Watson to undertake the project, mapping the noises of a town he has not lived in for thirty years. Over the past 18 months, the audio artist made a series of ambisonic recordings of the natural and urban environments of the city. The result is a 36-minute sound journey, Inside the Circle of Fire: a Sheffield Sound Map, on current exhibition at the Gallery.

Landscape Architect Proposes a Cycling Superhighway Over a London Canal
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Vincenza Di Maggio.
500-cyclists and pedestrians an hour simultaneously traveling along the same route bordering the Regent's Canal in north London certainly makes for one congested—and with cyclists and pedestrians jockeying for limited space, a treacherous—commute. According to BD Online, landscape architect Anthony Nelson, director at Design International, has proposed a dramatic solution that could resolve the long-standing battle between fast-moving cyclists and slower pedestrians.
Arb-itects? English Registration Board Flips Out Over Titles
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
The Editors.
In a letter to Building Design magazine, the Architects Registration Board in London, aka ARB, has requested that BD no longer refer to Renzo Piano and Daniel Libeskind as "architects." Apparently, neither are registered as architects with the all-knowing ARB, therefore "they are not entitled to be described as such," states the letter. BD Editor-in-Chief Amanda Baillieu immediately called out ARB's high-handed mandate in an online editorial, writing, "there is no other word to describe ARB's ban on calling Renzo Piano an architect except bonkers." The registration board's Alison Carr later apologized for the letter, "Do I think that this was a great example to bring to BD's attention and help raise awareness? No I don't. We should have been more cautious so that we get the right message across at the right time, and for that I apologise."

Is it possible to replace a bolt-on axel with a quick release skewer?
I have three small kids and a fleet of bikes. The kids bikes all have bolt-on wheels. If they had quick release skewers, I could put at least one of them up on the roof Yak rack with the adult bikes, thereby making more room inside the van. Can you change the axel to a QR? Inexpensively?

2002 Saturn L300 • 13,450 miles
What do these codes mean should I just get rid of the car
March 24, 2012.
March 24, 2012.
The B2623 is usually a bad dimmer switch is your dimmer switch bad?The code P1811 is usually a bad pressure control solenoid in the valve body I have replaced a ton of those pressure control solenoids for that code. Is the transmission shifting hard?The code P0621 the first step is to have the battery and alternator tested then go from there. The P1632 is theft deterent fuel disabled meaning the alarm was set off and the fuel was disabled. The P1780 means there is transmission codes and to tell the ecm to turn the check engine light on. The V2105 I have never heard of that code and dont see it in my online data. Recheck to see if it was different code.
Can you tell me if any of these codes would make the car lose power. The car just cuts off while driving. It is a used car and knew I would have to put money in it which one should be repaired first. I took the car to a saturn service shop and paid for testing I got all the codes I gave you from the saturn service shop after they worked on the car for three hours they still had no clue what was wrong they wanted another $200 just to find out what is wrong they said that it could be the computer but they are not sure but to change the computer was $800 and that might not be the problem so then I took it back where I got the car from they tried to put another computer on the car but the car would not start so what are my options Ido not have a lot of money to get things fixed and the car still doesnt work properly
The car jerks sometimes when the car loses power Mose of the time you dont even know that the car has cut off you look at the dash board and see the battery and oil light on
Iam a factory trained saturn tech was one for over 16yrs and I can tell you I have seen all those codes before there not uncommon. Except for that weird V code I dont know what thay that code is all about. The two codes I worry about first is the P0621 you need to have the alternator tested and the battery tested. Also make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. Thats where I would start with that code. Next I would work on the P1811 code I have seen that code left unfixed and the transmission destroys itself inside. So why did they say it needs a computer?When they replaced the computer was it a used one or new one?
Of course it wouldnt it wont start till you relearn the pass lock. If you replace the computer with a new or used computer you have to relearn the pass lock sensor. So why did they think it needs a computer?
Because the saturn repairman said that it could be the computer but they were not sure and did not want me to spend $800 replacing it and that did not solve the problem
Iam glad they didnt replace the computer because so far it doesnt look like a bad computer from the codes you have. Anything is possible but so far it doesnt look like a bad one. So they didnt diagnose any of the codes for the money they charged you just a guess you may have a bad computer?Then couldnt get it to start swaping it with a used computer?The code P0621 you will have to diagnose to figure out what it will take to fix it. But iam sure it will be cheaper then fixing code P1811 if its a bad pressure control solenoid your looking at 6-8hrs labor and couple hundred in parts. If you lived close enough to me I could help you out with lowering the cost of repair. But you probably dont even live in california.
No I live in Philadelphia, PA I wish I were closer because I would rather you work on my car. The saturn dealer told my husband that they couldnt find the problem and need an extra $200 to tell me exactly what is wrong, they gave me a print out with the codes that I gave you on it but no explanation of what the issues are. I looked on this wedsite to find out what the codes mean so I spent 110 for already and still dont know what is wrong. I thank you for all of your advice.I will get the P0621 code done first

Ever since a SUV driver yelled at me to Share the road and get out of his way I have been thinking about better ways to get the message across. Typical signage in MD is a picture of a bike with the words Share the Road below which reads as Bikes share the road which is not exactly the best message we want to convey to the motoring public.
So I came up with the following concept art for Share the Road as I think it better illustrates that bikes and cars cannot share the same lane width. The idea would be to put this on bumper stickers or on other types of ads.
Share the road.gif

Cheryl Ford puts money where her rebounds areJune 19, 2006 - Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) - Detroit Shock Press Release
"I'm proud to be involved with something as special as Rebounds for Research," said Ford. "Our goal is to raise money and public awareness about children's tumor research. Hopefully, with the help of other athletes and all WNBA fans, we will be able to raise enough money to eventually find a cure for this disorder."
In addition to the donations, Ford will appear in a public service announcement to support Neurofibromatosis (NF) research and is supplying 10 seats for children at two home games this season to children affected by NF. Ford captured the WNBA rebounding crown in 2005 for the first time after finishing second in the league during each of her first two seasons with averages of 10.4 rebounds in 2003 and 9.6 rebounds in 2004. With just over three full years of WNBA experience, Ford notched 1,000 career rebounds on June 7, 2006 at Los Angeles. As the Shock's all-time leading rebounder, she is the first Detroit player to reach the mark as a member of the Shock and the second youngest player in league history to do so. Detroit's Swin Cash, second on the Shock's all-time rebounding list, participated in the Rebounds for Research program last season.

The Children's Tumor Foundation is the driving force in Neurofibromatosis (NF) research. Neurofibromatosis (NF) affects an estimated 100,000 Americans and 1.8 million people worldwide. NF is a genetic disease characterized by pigmented skin lesions and multiple skin neurofibromas, and is sometimes accompanied by physical deformity and a predisposition to brain tumors and various forms of cancer. NF equally affects men and women of all races and ethnic groups.
The Children's Tumor Foundation has launched a web site (www.reboundsforresearch.org

After Shutdown Dust Clears, Where Does Boehner Stand?
Weeks after vowing that House Republicans would not capitulate to President Obama's demands for "clean" bills reopening the government and raising the debt ceiling, Speaker John Boehner led his caucus in doing exactly that. Only about a third of Republicans voted "yes" on the bill with Boehner, but Boehner's standing among Tea Party conservatives in his caucus may have actually improved.

Named after a Potawatomi Native American word for "healing," the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Will County stretches across 20,000 acres — a restoration undertaking of unprecedented scale in the region. This land once hosted the U.S. Army Arsenal, one of the world's largest ammunition plants. Today, it is the largest protected open space in northeastern Illinois, as it has become a designated national tallgrass prairie managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Get visiting information here.
Since 1997, the Wetlands Initiative has partnered with the Forest Service to restore native ecosystems at Midewin, providing extensive technical and financial support for habitat restoration. More than just a "prairie," Midewin is returning to the complex mosaic of habitats that once characterized the Prairie State, including marsh, sedge meadow, wet prairies, and rare dolomite wetlands.
The Initiative has successfully leveraged more than $3.5 million to support the restoration of 1,800 acres of once-lost and degraded wetland and prairie habitat at Midewin. In doing so, we have modeled how private organizations can partner with federal agencies to accomplish significant work. In 2013, TWI's first restoration project at Midewin in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service received a Conservation and Native Landscaping Award from Chicago Wilderness and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In 2012, the Initiative began its sixth project at Midewin, the Lobelia Meadows Restoration. This effort is transforming 160 acres of degraded industrial land back to healthy habitats, including globally rare dolomite prairie and wetlands. It will also connect other previously restored areas for the first time to form a nearly 2,000-acre natural corridor on Midewin's west side, creating one of the largest restored complexes of wetland and prairie in the state.
Through a major ongoing partnership with the National Forest Foundation, TWI is also restoring healthy prairie and wetlands on the South Prairie Creek Outwash Plain, a 2,100-acre parcel in Midewin's southwest corner and the focus of NFF's Treasured Landscapes campaign at Midewin.
At one time, prairies dominated more than 60 percent of the Illinois landscape, but today, less than 0.01 percent of high-quality tallgrass prairie remains in the state. Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie offers visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience a large restored prairie–wetland landscape and its rare native plants and wildlife.
Funding for TWI's restoration activities at Midewin in 2014–15 has been provided by Associated Colleges of Illinois, Caesars Foundation, Clearwater Paper Corporation, Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, Ecolab, Grand Victoria Foundation, National Forest Foundation, and the U.S. Forest Service.

News in Brief
Federal agencies are doing a better job of self-reporting on classified information within their charge, an annual report to President Barack Obama found.
The report, published by the National Archives and Records Administration, compiles classification activities across the federal government, something that had been previously reported separately. Among the report's findings is that the number of people with classification authority across the government is 2,269, the lowest recorded level. The report deemed that a positive trend.
The report also noted that under automatic, systematic and discretionary declassification review, agencies declassified 27,524,342 pages of historically valuable records.
Federal websites are still failing to support and enforce encryption using SSL, and are not moving toward IPv6 compliance, according to an analysis of federal web domains by GitHub government evangelist Ben Balter.
Overall, the federal government has reduced its inventory of web domains from 1,640 to 1,229, with 1,000 of the domains currently live.
The Department of Health and Human Services maintains the most domains with 110. Other perpetrators of what Balter calls "domain sprawl" include the General Services Administration with 105, Treasury with 92 and Interior with 89.
About 25 percent of sites are now using Google Analytics -- a significant increase compared to the last time the government published a domain inventory, back in 2011.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon's high-tech development arm, chose Schafer Corp. to carry out R&D projects in the fields of cybersecurity, analytics and computing, the firm announced.
DARPA's Information Innovation Office, which focuses on national security applications for information science and software, awarded the three-year contract. Arlington, Va.-based Schafer has been working with DARPA for 26 years, the firm said.
A suspected child predator collared by agents last fall hours after the rollout of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Operation Predator smartphone app, was sentenced in late June to more than eight years in prison.
Mark Robert Austin was arrested Sept. 13, 2013, by federal law enforcement 36 hours ICE rolled out its "Operation Predator" app designed to solicit information from the public about wanted suspected child predators.
ICE said following the national and regional publicity generated by the app's announcement, several members of the public called in tips that identified areas that Austin frequented. Agents from ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit and the FBI arrested the 49-year-old in Flint, Mich., charging him with downloading more than 100 images and nearly a dozen videos of child pornography.
ICE said in a June 30 statement that in addition to the 97 months in jail, Austin also faces seven years of probation and will be required to register as a sex offender.
Since its fall 2013 inception, ICE said its Operation Predator app has been downloaded more than 92,000 times from the iTunes App Store, and an Android version is currently under development.
"Sadly, the Internet and related technological advances have expanded the reach of predators looking to ensnare a child. But as this investigation demonstrates, technology is also a critical law enforcement tool," said Marlon Miller, special agent in charge of HSI Detroit. "HSI will continue to leverage emerging technological advances to turn the tables on child predators seeking to corrupt the innocent."
The Department of Homeland Security launched several enhancements to its "Study in the States" website that allow foreign visitors to more easily access a variety of data on student and visitor exchange programs.
The three-year-old Study in the States site brings together the various federal agencies that play a role in implementing DHS's student visa and exchange visitor programs, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Citizenship and Immigration Services and Customs and Border Protection.
DHS said the site's four new features allow the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, housed within ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, to convey information about the sometimes-confusing international student process in a clear, interactive manner. SEVP monitors a million international F and M visa holders in the U.S. pursuing academic or vocational studies and their dependents. It also certifies schools and programs that enroll these students.
The new features include:

To answer the OPs question - It really depends on the horse. You have to look at the horse as an individual & see how his/her mentality fits into the mold of the ideal horse you are looking for. Some show horses will have a hard time out in the woods. Some trail horses will have a hard time with the demands of the show ring. Many other horses are quite adaptable regardless of what their current job is.
I'm another person that takes my show horses out on the trails, and I've also turned around trail horses to be show horses. A good mind is the key to versatility!
PS...are you looking to buy a horse for your daughter? I know a great gelding that would fit the bill.

|The evidence for jet-cloud interactions in a sample of high/intermediate-redshift radio galaxies
|Solorzano-Inarrea, Carmen; Tadhunter, Clive; Axon, David
|We present detailed long-slit spectroscopic observations of a sample of four powerful radio galaxies, with intermediate/high redshifts (0.47 < z < 0.81). The observations cover the rest-wavelength range 2600 °A- 6600 °A, chosen to include important diagnostic emission lines ([NeV] 3426, [OII] 3727, [NeIII] 3869, H , [OIII] 5007), which are also measured in optical observations of low-redshift radio galaxies. In two of the galaxies (3C 352 and 3C 435A) the radio sources are of the same scale as the emission-line regions, whereas in the other two (3C 34 and 3C 330) the radio sources are extended on a larger scale than the emission-line structures. We find that the extended regions of all the galaxies present highly disturbed kinematics, consisting of line-splitting ( v 1000 km s−1) and/or underlying broad components (FWHM = 1000 — 1500 km s−1). These features are difficult to explain in terms of gravitational motion in the haloes of the host galaxies. Rather, it is likely that they are the result of strong shocks driven through the ISM/IGM by the radio sources. These observations suggest that jet-induced shocks have an important effect on the emission-line properties even in sources in which the radio structures are on a much larger scale than the emission-line structures. While the emission-line kinematics provide strong evidence for shock acceleration, the dominant ionization mechanism for the emission-line gas remains uncertain. We have compared the optical diagnostic line ratios of the galaxies in our sample with various ionization models, including: pure shock ionization, shocks including a photoionized precursor, power-law photoionization and photoionization including matter-bounded clouds. We find that both pure-shock ionization and power-law photoionization model predictions fail to provide good fits to the data. On the other hand, on individual diagnostic diagrams, models for shocks which include a photoionized precursor are consistent with the results for the majority of the EELR of the galaxies in our sample, and photoionization including matter-bounded clouds models also give reasonable fits to some of the EELR. However, in terms of the positions of the points relative to the model sequences on the diagnostic diagrams, there is a lack of consistency from diagram to diagram. The diagnostic diagram involving the line ratios [OIII](4959+5007)/4363 and HeII(4686)/H is particularly problematic in this regard. Overall, our results suggest that, if the EELR are shock-ionized, one or more of the assumptions implicit in the shock models may need to be reconsidered. In addition, we have investigated the nebular continuum contribution to the UV excess in the galaxies in our sample. We find a substantial nebular emission contribution to the UV continuum in all the cases, in the range 10 — 40 per cent. However, after the subtraction of the nebular component, a significant UV excess remains in the extended nebulae of most of the objects. (Refer to PDF file for exact formulas).

Point Pleasant, Ohio
Point Pleasant is a small unincorporated community in southern Monroe Township, Clermont County, Ohio, United States. It is located on the Ohio River, around 25 miles southeast of Cincinnati. U.S. Route 52 passes through Point Pleasant, where it intersects State Route 232.
Point Pleasant was founded in 1813.[1] In 1833, Point Pleasant contained about two stores, 30 houses, and 130 inhabitants.[2]
Point Pleasant was the birthplace of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant.[3] The one-story cottage where he was born was taken by barge on a tour across the country, then by rail to Columbus, Ohio where it was displayed at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. It was returned to Point Pleasant in 1936, where it has been restored with period furniture and opened to tours.

1. Re: Code HighlightingTimo Hahn Feb 2, 2014 9:30 AM (in response to Shaps)
Shaxx, there isn't any general way to do this. You can look at List of forum editor issues and bugs to see which bugs are already known and how to workaround them.
I personally don't use code highlighting at the moment. If I add code I use the quote insert and try to use courier new as font. This works most of the time.
2. Re: Code HighlightingDude! Feb 2, 2014 10:00 AM (in response to Timo Hahn)
In addition to the prevous response, there seems to be no universal or easy solution until the forum editor is fixed.
At the minimum you will probably want to replace all newlines of your code with Shift-Return to address the double-line spacing (paragraph) problem when copying code from the forum. You can also use multiple Shift-Return's to enter empty lines. Using a fixed width font is a good idea. The success to change the font of multiple lines at once varies.
Perhaps the easiest way right now is the following:
Copy and past your code into the editor window.
Verify the content. When finally posting, some content may change (1).
Select the code and change the font to "New Courier" (2).
Replace all line-endings (Return) with Shift-Return.
Select the code and choose Quote from the >> menu.
(1)(2) There may have been some progress recently.

This light peach hued moonstone has natural inclusions that are deep within and near the surface of the stone and add such character to this luxurious and intriguing gem. Moonstone measures 8 x 10mm and is securely bezel set.
On both sides of the stone, two rose gold twisted wires are a decorative accent for the solid silver shank. A unique blending and mix of metals--coolness of silver and warmth of rose gold.

Lovley lodge. Would stay again.
The lodge was large and spacious, warm and welcoming and we found both the bed and lounge area comfy. The underfloor heating takes a little time to warm up (but lovely when it's on). However the heating in our bathrooms wasn't working. Also we had a few (minor) issues with the cleanlisness of the lodge on arrival but when staff were informed they were apologetic and friendly.

Dishwasher was disgusting and we were unable to use it, the dishes and glass ware were greasy and dirty. the shower in the main bathroom didn't work and the second shower leaked, over all the place was dirty and I had to give it a good clean before we used anything!!

Had to ask for a bread knife ... few things listed in book were not actually in the cabin mainly kitchen items. Would also expect washing up liquid by the sink but none.

Helpfulness of staff
A very enjoyable holiday spent in quiet beautiful surroundings. Great walks of varying lengths with very good waymarks. Dogs are made very welcome in Yorkshire being allowed in a great number of establishments.
The shop provided the bare necessities (milk/bread etc) and their café delivered a small selection of meals for those intent on relaxing rather than cooking!
Confirmed guest, 2015-08-14
Beautiful location. Ideal for what we were wanting in our family holiday. Lots of lovely walks and cycle tracks in beautiful surroundings. Cabins were very comfortable and clean. Hot tub was a hit with my daughters after a busy day. Lovely meal at local pub 5* food I'm my opinion. Would definitely book a forest holiday again.
Absolutely love forest holidays, we went to Cropton lodges for a change and to be near the coast,we usually go to Sherwood. Really enjoyed the holiday ,lodge and hot tub were super. The only disappointment was the staff weren't delivering food to the lodges at the time we were there. Booked to go again to Cropton next year.

I would highly recommend Cropton Lodges to all my family and friends, Me and my family had a great break.
My two children 5yrs and 3yrs loved hunting for bugs and wondering through the woods with the dog, not to mention the hot tub which they thought was fab although it was a struggle trying to get them to understand they still needed an actual bath before bed hahaha.
we most defiantly did not want to come home and wish we had booked for longer, even the dog sulked.
Cant wait to visit again.
Vicky, Richard and family.
Had a fantastic holiday.try to get in next November in the gold but was unable to get lodges 24-26 .we are now considering the silver and adding the towels & robe thank you for a lovely stay ,dogs love it too

Wonderful! As a pool plant manager , my only reservation was about the hot tub. The care and clarity of the water was great! I can't wait to go back :)
Superb location and staff very friendly and helpful. The only downfall I would say was that the bed wasn't very comfy and when you pay a bit extra for a golden lodge I did expect a little more.... Apart from that it was a lovely trip and we would definitely visit again.

I enjoyed the stay at the log cabin, however there is nothing on the park you have to travel to do something. The park reception and bar shuts at 8 or half 8. We arrived after this time and was not made aware what time they shut. The cabin was nice but basic the hot tub was cleaned on a vault basis which was great. I wouldn't visit again as there was no activities to do.
The cabin was lovely and much better than even we expected. Everything was there, the setting was lovely and the weather as you expect in Yorkshire.
The only things were disappointing was the loose toilet roll holders in both bathrooms, toilet rolls kept falling on floor. Shame they did not fill in the many potholes around site as it is a poor reflection on how good the site was overall. I would definitely go back.

Free wifi should be available in every lodge as no phone signal available. The outside decked area needed cleaning.
Confirmed guest, 2015-09-14
The cabin was excellent with only a few minor problems. Although the cabin had been cleaned there were still a few places which could have been cleaner, the Internet and to package hadn't been put on so we had to go back and request it, and we found out at the end of our stay there should have been a cabin manual to tell us what' was happening and how things worked. Having said that the staff were excellent, the cabin was very nice, the surroundings were fantastic and the hot tub was great. All in all it was a great holiday and we would go back again.

Lodge was modern, well fitted out. Good sized rooms. Hot tub was a great addition, everyone loved it. Media package was an added bonus and worth the cost.

Fantastic rock formations, flower rich meadows, open moorland and lush valleys threaded with tumbling rivers – what better way to enjoy them than to stay in one of our holiday parks in the Yorkshire Dales? The landscape that inspired the Bronte sisters is classic walking country, crossed by the Pennine Way, and featuring spectacular waterfalls and dramatic geological formations like the famous Brimham Rocks and Malham Cove, whose 300 ft high cliff walls are truly awe-inspiring. Be sure to visit them when you enjoy our caravan holidays in the Yorkshire Dales.There are delightful towns in the Dales to explore too – Bolton Abbey is well worth a visit as are the picturesque market towns of Skipton and Leyburn. At Ripon you can compare the contrasting pleasures of exploring the evocative ruins of Fountains Abbey within their glorious setting in the Studley Royal Water Gardens with the white-knuckle rides and family attractions of the Lightwater Valley Theme Park. In the graceful spa town of Harrogate, indulge in some serious pampering at the Victorian Turkish Baths followed by toasted teacakes at Betty's Café Tea Rooms – one of Yorkshire's treasures. You'll also find Alan Titchmarsh's favourite public garden in the town. All these and many other delights are within an easy drive of our holiday parks in the Yorkshire Dales.

Federal officials are asking a court to dismiss the lawsuit an Alaska gas explorer filed in an effort to avoid a $15 million fine for an alleged violation of the Jones Act.
Furie Operating Alaska LLC sued federal authorities, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, on Aug. 7 in U.S. District Court in Anchorage.
The suit concerns the ocean transport of a jack-up drilling rig in 2011 from Texas to Alaska's Cook Inlet, where Furie is exploring for natural gas.
Federal authorities determined Furie didn't have clearance under the Jones Act to use a foreign ship to haul the rig. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, assessed a fine of $15 million, which corresponds to the agency's determination of the rig's value.
In its lawsuit, Furie asks for a judgment that the fine is "null and void." The company argues the fine is arbitrary and capricious, and unconstitutionally excessive. Furie also argues that the rig was not "merchandise" as defined in the law, and therefore no Jones Act violation occurred.
On Nov. 9, Department of Justice attorneys representing Homeland Security answered Furie's suit with a motion asking the court to throw out the case, arguing that Furie sued prematurely.
The Jones Act requires that cargo transported between domestic ports be done with U.S.-made ships, owned and crewed by American citizens.
A foreign-flag, heavy-lift vessel, the M/V Kang Sheng Kou, hauled the Spartan 151 rig from a Texas port to Vancouver, B.C. From there, U.S.-flag tugs towed the rig to Cook Inlet, arriving on Aug. 11, 2011.
Escopeta Oil Company LLC originally arranged the rig transport, but Furie acquired Escopeta on June 29, 2011.
Furie's suit says the Kang Sheng Kou was used because the U.S.-flag Jones Act fleet had no ship capable of safely carrying the rig around South America, which was necessary because the rig was too big to pass through the Panama Canal.
Furie argues that, in 2006, Homeland Security granted a Jones Act waiver, although it was for a different jack-up rig and a different foreign transport vessel.
Problems developed with that rig, and it was never transported to Alaska.
In 2010, Furie asked Napolitano to reconfirm the 2006 waiver, saying the basis for the original waiver had not changed -- a looming natural gas shortage in Southcentral Alaska, home to a major military base and Anchorage international airport.
But Homeland Security officials told the company the 2006 waiver was no longer in effect and that it would need to seek a new waiver or face penalties, the government's Nov. 9 motion says.
On March 7, 2011, Napolitano denied Furie's request for a waiver.
"Nonetheless, Furie assumed that a Jones Act waiver would be granted," the motion says, and the Kang Sheng Kou departed Texas with the Spartan 151 rig.
As the long voyage unfolded, Furie continued talks with federal officials, who at one point said initiating the rig transport after Napolitano had denied the waiver would be viewed as an "aggravating factor" in a Jones Act violation.
Customs and Border Protection officials also said the violation was committed for commercial expediency. They noted that Furie could be eligible for millions of dollars in state drilling tax credits as a result of transporting the rig in violation of the Jones Act.
Furie feared Homeland Security officials might seize the rig, but that didn't happen.
Justice Department attorneys argue Furie's suit is premature, as assessment of the $15 million penalty does not constitute a "final agency action."
Furie has not paid any portion of the fine. And although Customs and Border Protection officials have hit Furie with demand letters and threats to forward the matter for "collection action," a violator is "under no compulsion" to pay a penalty that has been merely assessed, the government's motion says.
Only a court has the authority to compel payment, the motion says. So far, federal authorities haven't sued to collect the Jones Act penalty assessed against Furie.
If and when the government files suit, Furie would have an opportunity at that point to defend against the penalty, the motion says.
And so Furie's lawsuit should be dismissed, the Justice Department argues.

The Democratic Party of Japan now has roughly twice as much support as the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and is widening its ratings lead heading into Sunday's general election, the latest Kyodo News survey showed Thursday.
In the nationwide telephone poll conducted Wednesday and Thursday, 35.9 percent of respondents said they plan to vote for the DPJ in the proportional representation section, up 3.3 percentage points from the previous survey carried out Aug. 15 and 16, while 17.9 percent said they will vote for the LDP, up 1.4 points.
A similar trend of voter preference for the DPJ was also apparent in single-seat constituencies, as 36.0 percent said they will vote for DPJ candidates, up 1.9 points, while 22.6 percent said they will cast their ballot for LDP candidates, up 3.8 points.
The survey also revealed that the percentage of voters who have not yet decided which party to vote for in the proportional representation segment of the House of Representatives race came to 30.9 percent, down 4.2 points.
Asked what type of administration they would prefer after the election, 40.9 percent opted for a DPJ-led government, almost the same level as the previous survey, while 20.2 percent chose an LDP-led government, up 2.0 points.
Those favoring an LDP-DPJ grand coalition government came to 14.3 percent, while 13.8 percent said they want to see a government formed under a new framework through a realignment of political parties.
On the question of who is most suited to be prime minister, 48.7 percent named DPJ President Yukio Hatoyama, up a fraction from 48.6 percent, while 22.7 percent preferred incumbent Prime Minister Taro Aso, up from 19.5 percent.
The approval rating for Aso's Cabinet rose from 18.5 percent to 23.6 percent.
The poll, which received responses from 1,229 eligible voters, was conducted using calls made to numbers randomly generated by computers.
A Kyodo News poll released last Sunday said the DPJ would win more than 300 of the 480 seats in the Lower House if the election were held then, while the LDP would win less than 150. The poll surveyed 155,110 voters; Kyodo gave no margin of error. The LDP now has 300 seats and the DPJ 112.

Crap. I wish you didn't say that.
For the past three years I've been developing a script. I took on a partner a year-and-a-half ago who's indicated that one of the characters I'm writing is similar to Sandoval.
That's part of what prompted me to watch the series. That and I gave

The West Virginia Health and Physical Education Leadership Academy: This Ultimate Inservice Equips Health and Physical Educators to Face Today's Educational Challenges
Housner, Lynn, Chapman, Don, Childers, Sue, Deem, Rick, Elliott, Eloise, Klemick, Peggy, McCracken, Bane, Weikle, Mary, Workman, Gerald, JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance
School-based health and physical education programs face more challenges and opportunities than ever before. A major challenge is the ongoing obesity crisis in the United States (Dietz, 2004). Although sedentary behavior is acknowledged as a risk factor for many diseases--including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes (Blair et al., 1995; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1996)--health care costs associated with diseases related to inactivity and poor health habits continue to increase (Pratt, Macera, & Wang, 2002).
Along with these challenges come opportunities for health and physical education to contribute to the wellness of children and young adults. For example, research indicates that quality school-based health and physical education programs may contribute to increased levels of physical activity in childhood that can extend into adulthood (Silverman, 2005; Taylor, Blair, Cummings, Wun, & Malina, 1999). These findings have prompted policymakers, educational leaders, and parents to have high expectations for health and physical education programs to enhance the wellness of children.
The challenge for health and physical education is to provide high quality, standards-based programs that will produce tangible results in children. Unfortunately, many health and physical education teachers may not be fully prepared to meet this challenge. Chen (2006) reported that only four in 25 teachers integrated the national standards (National Association of Sport and Physical Education [NASPE], 2004) into their teaching. Castelli and Williams (2007) found that the fitness knowledge (NASPE standard 4) of 73 middle school physical education teachers was low and did not meet the ninth-grade level of the South Carolina assessment program. Similarly, in a study of elementary health education in North Carolina, Bennett and Dowd (2001) concluded that health educators must become better able to apply national standards in program development.
Current standards (NASPE, 2003, 2004) have expanded the role of teachers and require that they collaborate with parents, colleagues, and the community to create opportunities for physical activity and healthy choices in and outside of school. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed the Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP), in which health and physical education programs play a prominent role (CDC, 2007). According to the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act (2004), education agencies in the National School Lunch Program must create county wellness-policy committees to assess and oversee a CSHP in every school.
Taken together, the findings from research and the increased expectations for health and physical education point to the need for ongoing professional development (PD) for teachers (Armour & Yelling, 2004). Although the need for PD is important throughout the United States, the need is particularly great in West Virginia.
West Virginia is among the nation's highest in the chronic disease risk factors of tobacco use, poor eating habits, physical inactivity, and obesity.
