text: Are generalized coordinates, as used in Legrangian mechanics, just a different name for coordinates on a chart in a manifold? The idea of generalized coordinates never quite "clicked" with me, but after reading a paper today, it seems that they are just an implicit way of working with manifolds. So, say you're working with a double-pendulumn system. You have two objects (the ends of the pendulumns) in 3D space, for a total of 6 degrees of freedom, so the entire system can be modeled in R^6. But, to simplify the math, we can use our knowledge of the system's invariants to reduce this down to a 2D submanifold, parametrized by the angle of each pendulumn as each swings in a plane. Am I correct in coming to this conclusion?

Best time to go to Everglade?
Mar 29, 2013
I heard that the best time to go to Everglade National park for birding is late Mar or April, as the birds are migrating back to the warmer North America.

Obama Says His Ears Too Big for Rushmore
Cute and funny! According to the AP: "Two days after rival Hillary Rodham Clinton made a campaign stop [in South Dakota], Obama joined a group of reporters and staff members for an after-dark sightseeing visit to the national memorial, where the faces of four presidents are carved into the mountain. South Dakota and Montana hold their primary elections on Tuesday, the final ones in the nation, and Obama was campaigning in both states. Asked by a reporter if he ever envisioned himself carved into the mountain, he said, 'I don't think my ears would fit. There's only so much rock up there.'"

Sharply higher farm markets Thursday
With the Federal Reserve announcing it will keep interest rates low until 2014, the CME Group corn, soybean and wheat markets are poised to capitalize on the longterm inflationary move Thursday.
The Early Calls for the commodities on Thursday, January 26, 2012, are higher. Corn is seen opening 8-12 cents higher, soybeans 9-11 cents higher, and wheat 11-13 cents higher.
In overnight trading, the March corn futures contract traded 8 1/2 cents higher at $6.43 per bushel. March soybean futures traded 11 cents higher at $12.24 1/2 per bushel, and March wheat traded 13 cents higher at $6.54 1/4. For March soybean meal futures, the contract traded $3.00 per short ton higher at $324.10. March soybean oil futures traded $0.33 higher at $51.69.
The outside markets are favorable for Thursday's grain trade. The real factors driving the calls will be the higher overnight markets.
Discuss corn, soybean and wheat markets in Marketing Talk.

In the 1st quarter earnings release today, they cited some 13% gain in NAV - split between some combo of share buy-backs and general asset profitability that you allude to.
But I am intrigued with your argument of past asset performance; I will definitely check into whether we are giving up high profits that could be accretive to NAV, more so than the buy-back program is. Opportunity costs are often forgottenMay 1, 2012. 06:23 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Management restated their previously announced philosophy that they will return capital to shareholders through share buy backs while the PPS trades at a discount to NAV, and switch to a dividend when the PPS sells above NAV.
Essentially, they have the money available to pay a dividend, but at this time it is more beneficial to shareholders to buy back shares.
I hope this clarifies.Apr 29, 2012. 12:04 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

FTP vs LTHR
The foundations for successful riding
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Thanks Paul
Yeah, I am using Golden Cheetah and have a reasonable data set in there now. Some 6 weeks or so of trainer sessions and road rides. I just got back from another 2 x 6 km climbs (AT) 6% average up my local mountain. These are just over 20% and I averaged 296 Watts this time, some getting better on this climb. Even though I run a standard with 11-25, which was difficult at first as it started to turn into a grind at times, I am no finding that I am starting to ride more of it in the 12-13 cogs on the rear without grinding i.e. keeping it over 75 and often mid 80's to 90's. So improving I guess and thus the higher power figures and faster times.
Actually, I think you know my sister. I am sure she trained with you only a year or so ago. Her name is Maria and she took out the women's NSW masters back then. I remember she mentioned your name somewhere along the line. She still trains a bit now but she hasn't raced in a while now.
As for FTP, yeah I am happy with where it is set now (AT) 260 as I did a 3 x 8 (AT) 100-105% of FTP with this value the other day and by the end of the third set I was feeling it. This is however at the upper end of threshold range so it should be hard going. I will hold it there for another week or so, probably target the higher end of each workout power range and then adjust it to a higher value in line with today's result - probably set at around 270-275 which is around 93% of this average from today and as Alex Simmons has said low to mid 90's % is probably more realistic. I am happy with this as it feels right!
As I said I am using Golden Cheetah and still learning and trying to get the hand of all this TSS CTL ATL etc. These values are all mapping on my MPC graph in the software. Trying to work out my weaknesses. Problem is how do I know if my CP5 or any other metric sucks?
I am doing my main intervals Tue, Thursday and Saturday at the moment. Tue is normally threshold intervals (AT) either 90-95, 95-100 or 100-105% FTP. THese are either 2X15, 3x10 or 3x8 with 5 min recovery in between. Sometimes I do a light spin on Wednesday zone L1-L2 only. Saturday is normally a HIIT session. I actually use a 90 min CXTC video session which has a mix of lots of on/off sprints and recoveries up to 1.5 mins and some hill climbs. This session normally wrecks me as I go really hard. Otherwise on Saturday I go for a solo mixed ride with some sprints, strava segment runs, a little 10km TT at FTP and above and lots of hill climbs. I go L1-L2 between all of these and try to stay away from L3 (tempo). Sunday I try and do 2-3 plus hours or just free riding. It is mostly L2 with some L4/5 with a bit of tempo in between. Monday I have a break. I do quite a bit of climbing, I enjoy hills for some sick reason. I am trying to do around 200km per week plus, but I would like to ramp it up a bit, time is normally the issue though with a family and kids.
That's my week. Am I obsessed? Yes Pretty OCD really!! I just love being on my bike.
I try to do a lot of climbing too each week as this helps with strength. I am also doing some basic core work and calf raises and squats to help with strength.
Now if I can work out the MPC stuff that will be great!
I think I am going down the right path. I want to start racing in October so I want to at least be good enough to hold on to the pack. I am 80 kg and my FTP I guess is sub 3.5 W/kg if that means much!
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Theres a lot more to racing than good watts per kilo /power numbers. No matter how prepared you are, you will do well if you can just finish with the group. Racing by nature is very different to anything you can simulate in training. Expect to get your ar$$e handed to you for the first few weeks, even in the lower grades, even with good fitness, strength and power. If you are a smart guy, you will learn fast and adjust. But its a journey.
I know your sister, good rider and a nice person too.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Amen to that! It MIGHT improve your performances as well. I go a million times harder chasing a result than any interval.
Then the challenge is finding a good horse whisperer that can tell you how to resist that million times until the critical moment, whenever that really is
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Yeah. I have done a little bit of MTB racing in the past. That is how I got into road cycling really.
I was kind of expecting to get smashed in the races. Mind you I am chasing 50 and No spring chicken
I do know what you mean re performance when there is someone to chase rather than training on your own.
I think the variance between training a racing effort is however somewhat dependant on how much "go" one has on general.
Understand that racing gets you fit too. A good thing!
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Come out in some pack rides before you race to get you more comfortable.
Common pack rides;
Fridays 6am at diggies cafe, goes to Austi and sea cliff bridge.
Sunday 7am meet opposite unanderra pool for a loop around the lake, speeds can vary.
Always coffee after!
Everyone would know Maria! I haven't seen her since she moved to Sydney.
Ride down to the club race and see how things run, meet some people and see what you think.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Rod. That sounds good.
I'll try and get in on one of those groups.
Maria still lives in Dapto. She never lived in Sydney.

Ok, I knew she was working up there and assumed she had moved as I have not seen her ride since the ken dinnerville race 2 yrs ago!
FTP vs LTHR
Hey Rod
Yeah she hurt her back a while back and stopped. She is still punishing herself in her garage these days when she has time. Normally 4am or so in the mornings. Sufferfest!!!
Who rides the Saturday lake ride? Do guys like Dave Russell ride it? I met him a while ago riding out one if the ICC races. Nice guy. Anyhow weather permitting I might try and get in on a lake ride. Is there a FB page or something that let's riders know if the rides are on. Like strava or something??
Yeah. And coffee after sounds good
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Dave does come out on the Sunday ride around the lake, it is a club recovery ride so the pace can be mellow or quick depending who comes out to play!
The club races on sat at the moment at 2pm from don's farm, at the end of Avondale rd. A pack leaves figtree cellars at 1pm to go down to the race and will go back after.
Sat rides in the morning are generally with people you know.
Once you get into the club scene and go out on some pack rides you will link up with people. Some groups can be a little bit closed but the majority are great.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
I commented on a different thread last week about how cyclists are usually wary of new people joining in on their bunch rides. Riding in a bunch at high speeds requires a certain amount of trust in each other's ability. Once you join the club, you are insured, and wearing a SOTO shirt will bring immediate acceptance into most group rides.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Still on the topic of training and zones.
I have heard the term "no man's land", "happy hard training" and the like come up from time to time.
Now, as I understand it. NML is basically that range between 80-85% of your MHR. For someone putting in a lot of training hours it is apparently not effective to train in this range. I know I try to stay in L1/L2 for most of my road rides and do intervals at L4 and greater as planned. I try to avoid L3 in between any intervals. Though I do venture into L3 when the gradient goes up a bit. As I understand it and according to the rules of NML it is OK to spend a lot of time in the lower ranges of L3, as long as you dont spent a lot of time at the upper nd of L3 and lower range of L4.
Not sure what this equates to as a percentage of FTP as a range. However if my FTP is set at 260 watts then my typical Mt Keira climb intervals (normally 8-10 minutes (AT) 6% average) have me sitting right in this 80-85% of my MHR range on average for the whole time. During this time I also push an average 290 watts, which is well into my Z4 (VO2 Max). What range in % of FTP is this NML zone?? Because if I use my current FTP of 260 and I am sitting in 80-85% MHR or NML for every interval I do - is this effective training??
If I have a power range as a percentage of FTP that equates to NML - should I be avoiding this zone or power range?? Based on an FTP of 260 I think it may be something like 235 to 255 watts range.
Any thoughts??
As for the group rides and previous comments, yes, I understand the "trust" thing with new riders joining a group. I have ridden in groups before so do understand the etiquette, signals and responsibilities of riding front, mid and rear. I did ride this morning and did think to myself - I am getting a bit sick of riding solo all the time. It can be a lonely and boring gig at times.
Also, SOTO shirts are discounted at the moment, but I am not sure if this is because they are bringing out new designs? I will look into it.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
A quick search came up with this from freil-
-I think you must be getting me confused with someone else. I've never said one should never be in z3. For example, if racing a half IM that is typically done in z3. So to never train at that intensity would mean never preparing for the race. The peloton in a bike race moves along about z3 intensity, usually. There is a time for everything. Once you've established good aerobic fitness then it's time to move onto something else.
I almost always express the intensity of the cycling portions of my athletes' workouts in terms of power. But I realize that most readers of this blog don't have power meters (if you don't then you are missing out on the perhaps best thing to ever happen to bike training). That means training by heart rate which is much less precise but better than using a rating of perceived exertion (RPE). So below are the zones I use.
The power zones are from Allen and Coggan, Training and Racing With a Power Meter, and the heart rate zones are from my Training Bible books. Realize that they will not always produce the same RPE. For aerobically fit riders I typically find that HR zones are a bit more challenging (in terms of RPE) than power. In other wordes, riding in HR z3 will feel a bit more difficult than riding in power z3. That's not always the case, but very common. There's usually an overlap between the two. But all of this is highly dependent on the athlete and varies considerably from one to another.
Cycling Power zones as a percent of functional threshold power—FTP (Allen and Coggan)
Z1 <55% of FTP
Cycling HR Zones as a percent of anaerobic threshold—ATHR (Friel)
Z1 <80% of ATHR
Z5a 100-102%
Z5b 103-105%
Z5c >105%
I think the club has changed brands but design is the same.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Yes. Zones are as you have posted. But that area between High L3 and lower L4 is apparently NML and some say should be avoided. I think this means you can train in L3 up to there no problems.
It's all a bit confusing really!, so many different views on the subject.
I wonder what the difference in brands is? I might still pick up a current set at discount to start with. Can never have enough jerseys or bibs at that.

Re: FTP vs LTHR
Google sst training and you may come away with a different view on upper l3 to lower l4 zones.
In reality, you should be training to the zones your racing demands.
Knowing my event's demands, I'm able to have more personal successful. Doing 1min intervals set me up to perform well to be able to sustain the many attacks, my 5min intervals got me over the climbs and l2-3 for the rolling hills. Fortunately I am pretty good at freewheeling too

Re: FTP vs LTHR
Yep what straw said.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Ok. Yes I had seen some stuff on Sweet spot training and as I understand it's just under threshold!?
I do a bit of it like 2x15 (AT) 90-95 % FTP and 3x10 (AT) 95-100% FTP.
And that is what I thought - that racing pace sat in L3 tempo a lot.
I will keep doing what I am for now and add some VO2 max intervals in there also to help me prepare for attacks and short sprints.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Just for the record, SST is 88-93%, so if you are sitting at 90% then you are right in the middle of it.
The aim of SST is to allow you to spend more time deep into the aerobic zone, doing 15 minute intervals instead of 5, and doing 4-6 of them, instead of 5 lots of 5. Your gains vs effort are supposed to be disproportionately high. If you have accidently overestimated FTP, your attempted SST interval in the top of the range will be SST, and if you're underestimated, you will be doing an FTP interval. Neither are terrible things.
The key issue is that doing 45-60 minutes a day at 100% FTP will diminish your will to live. Let alone ride. It is true suffering. If you overestimated FTP, doing it at 105% of your real FTP is even worse. But, you dial it back 10-12% and you can cope with much much more.
The SST stuff is a bit hazy IMO. I think it's based heavily on Hunter Allan and Andy Coggan's personal experiences, and they tend to preach a system where you mainly focus on FTP gains, as opposed to VO2Max or anaerobic efforts etc. NSW Road Champs were on this weekend, Elites rode 160kms for 4 hours. We just don't have the same kind of racing as the USA has, so that's worth bearing in mind too. If I was you, keep climbing that hill, see what happens.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
absolutely (for Xplora's entire post)!

Re: FTP vs LTHR
Nah just observed a few guys prepping, it is clearto me that intervals help, but really big rides are the key. A mate is in an NRS dev squad, he is a bit quicker on climbs, but he will hit the gorges half a dozen times once a week when looking to peak, and get an imperial hundred in quite regularly. Its theability to hold a wheel for 2-3 hours at pace that makes him good. You won't get that doing coffee rides, or SST intervals. 130+ kms rides makes it happen. I feel better after 120 on the weekend.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Yeah. I will keep doing those hill climbs cause they have got to make me stronger.
As for the long rides. I would love to do some 4hr plus rides at the 26-27 kph average but I need someone or a group to do them with. I couldn't see me doing 4 hours or more solo. One ride I would like to do is the gong to engadine, waterfall and back through the National Park.
Anyhow the weather has been great last couple days for riding. Bring on spring!

Re: FTP vs LTHR
Mate, you do the big rides enough, you'll find people to do them with. Maybe join a couple rides together and tail someone else's bunch.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
SST is a concept, not an intensity.
And no, it's not based on Hunter and Andy's personal experiences. People have been doing this sort of training in many aerobic endurance sports (including cycling) for most of the past century. SST was just a means to help conveniently convey similar concepts to the power meter using cyclist.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Referring to The Next Level plan, and the general direction of TARWP, from my reading of it.
The Friel book is much friendlier to the rider and the soul
Re: FTP vs LTHR
There's better ones than that mate. I can think of 3 off the top of my head, starting at the Gong. Next time my son and nephew are doing a long one I'll let you know. I tag along on the scooter with the spares.
Re: FTP vs LTHR
Finally got in 98 km on Sunday with a ride buddy. Averaged 26 km/hr with no drafting (too busy chatting) and feel OK today, other than quads being a little sore. Did about 1300 m of climbing all up. Averaged 175 w overall including zeros, so on average was mostly in the L2/L3 zones, except for that damn punishing section after Jamberoo - hills, hills, the "fun park" hill and L4/L5 was visited quite a bit!!!
We did Gong to Minnamurra, across through Jamberoo, through the hills, Albion Park, West Dapto, Unanderra back for Diggies Coffee. Weather was awesome. We did OK I think considering we had done a 45 k run up to Coledale and back on the Saturday morning. Been logging about 200 km per week for the past few weeks and this week closer to 240.
Got my application for for Cycling Australia. Filled out, just need top pay and hand it in. I understand that if I pay now, this covers until January 2016? Is this correct? It is in the $200's to pay also?? Can anyone confirm please? Also, who do I get the money and form to? Can I fax and transfer money electronic?? BPay to pay my membership fees??
I think the first race I will be in will be the scratch race on 5 October???!?? Bit nervous about it, but like they say - face your fears
Anyhow, with this nice weather I haven't spent much time on the trainer, so not as targeted training, but I have ridden with a couple of groups who have all been friendly. I am happy I have now proven to myself I can hold a reasonable solo pace with some decent climbs for close to 100 km and still be able to walk the next day, so that is great, and no cramps - bonus!
If someone can put me straight on the payment and membership for ICC that would be great, thanks.
Thanks again.

Is SF in a state of exhaustion?

Re: Is SF in a state of exhaustion?
Since it's all too easy to bloviate in generalities about the state of the genre and not back up one's opinions with fact (a point made in
this response
to Kincaid), I've decided to read the three anthologies that drove Kincaid's original essay* and see what I think of them. Since we're talking about 1500 pages in large trade paperback format (somewhat less, actually, since six stories appear in both year's-best volumes), this thread will be long dead by the time I finish, but if I have anything vaguely interesting to say I'll revive it.
*I may also read Jonathan Strahan's SFF year's-best, since it overlaps a lot with the other two and a few of the unique stories are by authors I've enjoyed.
Egg, I dreamed I was old.

Sofia Vergara Bares Midriff in Kmart Bikini Top, SoulCycle Sweatpants
Sizzling in the summer! Modern Family star Sofia Vergara shared a series of sexy selfies via her official Instagram account on Sunday, June 23. In the three pictures, the actress bares her toned midriff by donning a self-designed Kmart collection bikini top and SoulCycle sweatpants. The other images show the Emmy winner swinging in a park.
Earlier this month, the actress spoke to Us Weekly about how she stays in shape while unveiling her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City. "I do everything in moderation. I try to enjoy life," said Vergara, who's been engaged to Nick Loeb since the summer of 2012. "I don't believe in crazy diets or exercise. I believe everything in moderation."
PHOTOS: Sofia Vergara's sexiest red carpet looks
Vergara -- who has a 21-year-old son, Manolo, with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez -- added that she doesn't "smoke or do drugs," either. "You know, I drink to have fun," she admitted. "I just try to live, like, a normal life."
TV's highest-paid actress also revealed that she doesn't have a "favorite" workout routine. In fact, Vergara said she'd prefer to never set foot inside a gym.
PHOTOS: Secrets from the Modern Family set
"Now that I'm older, I know that I have to keep up. When I'm in Los Angeles, I have a trainer, Gunnar Peterson, because if not, I sabotage myself," Vergara said of the pro, who's also worked with Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. "If I have to do 12 repetitions, I do seven. And in New York, I have a trainer. His name is Justin Gelband. And so they force me."

We're calling for more audio description in cinemas and theatres, more live commentaries at sporting events and greater visual awareness across the entertainment, sporting, leisure and retail fields.
When did you last go to the pictures? A lot of cinemas in Northern Ireland now have audio description, so that you can follow what is happening when nobody is speaking. Give it a try - it makes a real difference!
One centre of attention for this work will be the Lisburn in focus project funded by the Big Lottery fund. The project started in November 2009 and was officially launched on 20 April 2010 at the Irish Linen Centre in Lisburn.
The Irish Football Association (IFA) in partnership with RNIB NI introduced Soccer Sight at Northern Ireland's game against Sweden on 28 March 2007.
Soccer Sight is a service to help football supporters who have difficulty seeing the action on the field.
Blind and partially sighted fans will be given an earpiece through which they can listen to an audio description of the game provided by a trained commentator.
Tickets are available at reduced prices for the person with sight loss and their guide.

November 28, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government safety officials are focusing new attention on ATVs.
At least 555 people were killed in accidents involving the all-terrain vehicles in 2006. That includes more than 100 children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates more than 146,000 people were injured in ATV accidents in 2006 and more than a-quarter of them were children.
And officials say, based on reports from coroners and hospitals, the problem is getting worse.
The industry says the problem is not with the machines but with how they are used. A spokesman for a trade group called the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America says, "ATVs have never been shown to be an unsafe product." He says the problem is "bad decisions" by the people sitting on the seat.

Huntington Ingalls Industries Reports Strong Second Quarter Results; Significant Progress on Key Programs *Revenues were $1.72 billion for the second quarter 2012 *Segment operating margin improved to 7.4 percent from 6.3 percent in Q2 2011 *Total operating margin rose to 6.2 percent, up from 5.8 percent in the same period 2011 *Diluted earnings per share was $1.00, up 20 cents over second quarter 2011 *Cash provided from operating activities was $151 million for the quarter NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported second quarter 2012 revenues of $1.72 billion, up 10.1 percent from the same period last year, and segment operating margin of 7.4 percent, up from 6.3 percent in Q2 2011. Total operating margin was 6.2 percent, up 34 basis points from the second quarter of last year, and second quarter diluted earnings per share was $1.00, compared with $0.80 in the same period of 2011, an increase of $0.20. Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter of 2012 was $151 million, $35 million less than the same period last year. New business awards for the 2012 second quarter were approximately $2.5 billion, bringing total backlog to $16.2 billion, of which $12.6 billion is funded. "The second quarter reflected the strong execution of our existing contracts and demonstrated the steady progress toward restoring margins at Ingalls," said Mike Petters, HII's president and chief executive officer. "Several of our large programs reached key milestones during the quarter, including the launch of two ships, LPD-25 Somerset and LHA-6 America, and the successful completion of sea trials on LPD-23 Anchorage." Second Quarter Highlights Three Months Ended June 30, (In millions, except per share amounts) 2012 2011 $ Change % Change Revenues $1,721 $1,563 $158 10.1% Total segment operating income^1 127 98 29 29.6% Segment operating margin %^1 7.4% 6.3% 111 bps Total operating income 106 91 15 16.5% Operating margin % 6.2% 5.8% 34 bps Net earnings 50 40 10 25.0% Diluted earnings per share $1.00 $0.80 $0.20 25.0% Weighted average diluted shares 50.1 49.6 outstanding ^1Non-GAAP metric. See Exhibit B for reconciliation. Second quarter consolidated revenues increased $158 million from the same period in 2011, driven by higher sales at the Ingalls and Newport News segments. The increase in Ingalls revenues was primarily attributable to higher sales in amphibious assault ships. Newport News revenues increased due to higher sales in aircraft carriers and submarines, offset by lower fleet support services. Segment operating income in the quarter was $127 million, up $29 million from the same 2011 period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales as well as performance improvements in the Virginia-class submarine construction (VCS) program, lower unfavorable performance adjustments in 2012 on the LPD-17 San Antonio-class (LPD) program and receipt of $7 million in resolution of a contract dispute with a private party. Total operating income was $106 million, up from $91 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the improvement in segment operating income, offset by a higher FAS/CAS adjustment. Total operating margin was 6.2 percent for the quarter, up 34 basis points from the second quarter of 2011. Awards The value of new contract awards during the three months ended June 30 was approximately $2.5 billion. Significant new awards during this period included contracts for the detail design and construction of LHA-7 Tripoli, advance procurement for construction of LPD-27 (unnamed) and planning efforts for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln refueling complex overhaul (RCOH). Operating Segment Results Ingalls Shipbuilding Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2012 2011 $ Change % Change Revenues $ 756 $ 708 $ 48 6.8% Operating income 38 19 19 100.0% Operating margin % 5.0% 2.7% 234 bps Ingalls revenues for the second quarter increased $48 million from the same period in 2011, driven by higher sales in amphibious assault ships. The increase in amphibious assault ships was due to higher sales on LHA-7 Tripoli, partially offset by lower sales on LHA-6 America. Surface combatants revenue remained stable as a result of higher sales on the DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer program, offset by lower sales on the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer program. LPD program revenues remained constant as higher sales on LPD-27 (unnamed) and LPD-25 Somerset were offset by lower sales following the delivery of LPD-22 USS San Diego in 2011 and in the construction of LPD-24 Arlington. The National Security Cutter (NSC) program remained flat due to lower sales following the delivery of NSC-3 USCGC Stratton in 2011, offset by higher sales on the construction of NSC-4 Hamilton and NSC-5 Joshua James and the advance procurement contract on NSC-6 (unnamed). Ingalls operating income for the second quarter was $38 million compared with $19 million in the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to lower unfavorable performance adjustments on LPD-22 USS San Diego and higher favorable performance adjustments on LPD-25 Somerset in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, as well as receipt of $7 million in resolution of a contract dispute with a private party. This increase was partially offset by higher unfavorable performance adjustments on LPD-24 Arlington and lower favorable performance adjustments on LPD-23 Anchorage in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Ingalls operating margin was 5.0 percent for the quarter, up from 2.7 percent in the same quarter of 2011. Key Ingalls program milestones for the quarter: *Launched LPD-25 Somerset at Avondale shipyard *Awarded $133.7 million advance procurement contract for LPD-27 (unnamed) *Awarded $2.38 billion contract for detail design and construction of LHA-7 Tripoli *Launched the U.S. Navy's next amphibious assault ship, LHA-6 America, at Pascagoula shipyard *Successfully completed U.S. Navy acceptance trials for LPD-23 Anchorage Newport News Shipbuilding Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2012 2011 $ Change % Change Revenues $ 979 $ 872 $ 107 12.3% Operating income 89 79 10 12.7% Operating margin % 9.1% 9.1% 3 bps Newport News revenues for the second quarter increased $107 million, or 12.3 percent, from the second quarter 2011, primarily driven by higher sales on aircraft carriers and submarines, offset by lower fleet support services. Aircraft carrier revenues increased due to higher sales on the construction contract for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, the advance construction contract for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy, the advance planning contract for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH and the advance planning contract for CVN-65 USS Enterprise inactivation, offset by lower sales on the execution contract for the CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt RCOH and an engineering contract for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford. The increase in submarines was primarily a result of higher sales on the VCS construction program, due to the continued transition to a two-boat-per-year production rate, partially offset by lower sales following the delivery of SSN-781 USS California in 2011. The reduction in fleet support services was primarily attributable to the redelivery of the SSN-753 USS Albany in the third quarter 2011. Newport News operating income for the second quarter was $89 million compared with $79 million in the same period in 2011. The increase was due primarily to the higher sales volume and the impact of performance improvements on the VCS construction program in 2012. Newport News operating margin was 9.1 percent for the quarter, flat compared to the same quarter of 2011. Key Newport News program milestones for the quarter: *Reached 80 percent structural completion of CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford *Broke ground on the new Apprentice School, which will include an 80,000-square-foot school, workforce housing, retail space and a parking garage *Achieved "pressure hull complete," a major construction milestone, on the submarine SSN-783 Minnesota; slated for delivery in 2013 The Company Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) designs, builds and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and provides after-market services for military ships around the globe.

Garay, Willie Reward Honorable Students

Antonio Garay and Mike Willie spent Thursday afternoon at Rancho Bernardo High School, rewarding students who were nominated by teachers for showing outstanding character.
The pair of Bolts met with students for a half hour and enjoyed pizza with them while discussing a wide range of topics including the benefits of strong morals, the similarities between being in high school and playing football, and much more.
"We came here to support the kids and it speaks volumes about them that they were nominated by their teachers," said Garay. "The values and words that were brought up today are all things that coaches look for in players. So we talked about how people expect us to act a certain way like the teachers expect of them. I think it's good to come in here and express to the kids that just like them we think of things like being trustworthy and having good character. When it comes off naturally, that's when you get noticed and that's what happened today. The teachers noticed something in them and rewarded them for who they are and because they are good people."
Willie echoed those very same sentiments.
"It was pretty cool to come out here to Rancho Bernardo and spend time with these kids," said the Chargers wide receiver. "It was cool to get to know the kids and let them know we care about them and how it is important to act with character. Garay and I had a good time."

My husband and I are planning a trip to Vail in late September of 2005 and it will be our first time in that area of Colorado. I am a Colorado fan and have been to the Durango and Denver areas but this will be my first time in Vail. I want to explore the area while relishing the golden aspens and the cool air. I am also interested in some horsebackriding trips so if anyone knows of any good trips in the area, I would appreciate the advice. Approximately how far a drive would it be from Denver? About two hours? Thanks, I really appreciate the tips and information.

You could use the old GE meter to monitor the brightness inside the box.
I like standards, without them we all would be lost... LOL Thank you. This makes the most sense to me as well. It would be much easier to use physical filters upon a standard light source, then trying to manage a variable light source accurately for a DIY project and limited resources. I'm thinking a set of ND filters to peg say 3 different points along the exposure trajectory and the final point being the standardized light source without a filter for the brightest point. My camera's service manual says to use a brightness box set to two different EV's, and use a 50% filter to do one of the adjustments/checks. These checks/adjustments would be for high brightness and low brightness adjustments. There are other checks that can be done as well, but without such a box, it seems useless to even open up a camera to try and fix or adjust its exposure meter. This is why I asked for suggestion/help in making one. So far, I'll have to make due with my computer monitor, but I may well look for a used/broken LED monitor to use as my base for creating the box I need later....
Dear XO! The color temperature of daylight changes but we want to calibrated light source to have a constant color temperature. Dichroic color head generally has 3200K lamp in there. With some Cyan and very little Magenta I can make it becomes a 4700K light source and it would stay that way constantly. I used the spyder2 with the HFHC software to measure color temperature and recheck by shooting the light source with a Nikon Coolpix with the color temp set to 4700K and see if the resulting image is gray.
The filtrations setting which is monitor by the 3 sensors and displayed on the unit digital displays are very accurate. I make a note of the readings for this condition and later all I have to dial in the amount of filter that gives the same reading then the light is the same even if the bulb has aged and changed color and intensity.
And then dial in equal amount of filter on all 3 channel would give it neutral density. Monitoring the actual brightness with an accurate spot meter as reference. (Well you must have an instrument that you can trust to be correct) so I would know how bright the light is.
It works very well except that I only have 5 stops range. The unit has 180cc adjustment and that's 6 stop but I waisted some of the filtration to increase the color temperature.
By the way I used it to check out the light meter on my Minolta SRT-101 and after checking it I decided not to use it. Even I supply the camera a constant 1.35v source via a regulated power supply. I can adjust the calibration resistor to make it read higher or lower but if it's correct at EV14 it's wrong at EV9 and vice versa so I decided to use the camera as a meterless camera rather than trying to get expensive battery for it.
Chan Tran,
Were you adjusting both variable resistors and also mechanical linkage? Sounds like a calibration dance that requires a few recursions until you get it to work...

One of the resistors is for adjusting the battery check level so it's not important and can easily adjusted. The other is for the metering itself. I didn't do anything with the mechanical because unlike other camera the SRT-101 mechanical linkage is totally independent of the meter movement. It's quite an interesting design where I don't see in other camera. All user's adjustment like aperture, shutter speed, ISO would only move the mechanical pointer. The light intensity moves the meter movement.
I'm following but I got lost at setting up a color enlarger properly... never done it but I'm sure I could learn... Chan, you are like advanced class and I'm beginning basics class... LOL I get your point thought. You have a stable light source and it allowed you to determine that the meter in your SRT101 is not reliable, so you use it full manual... My XE-7 is kinds made to use the meter and it's such a nice camera, I wanted to make sure after having to part out my first one due to shutter at 1/1000th sec. not opening and causing unexposed frames for which I could not fix on my own, I use the slide resistor from it in another XE-7 that I broke the slide resistor on while doing a clean up and getting the slide resistor to read again. Once I put the replacement slide resistor in and tested and measured shutter speeds, I compared meter reading with my DSLR aimed at different EV's. Close enough, so I shot a test roll this morning and they all came out exposed properly. I'm a happy camper. Scanning negatives is what I'm working on now... I've ruled out VueScan due to output that is not as good as the Epson Scan software's output. Oh, and to not use digital ice... LOL. I have like 8 SRT's? 101's and a couple of 102's all with mirror lock up. My first GAS camera because they are so basic and good at being mechanical, and easy take the top off and unstick the meter needles from the foam... LOL. I'll be using one for micro stuff and maybe telescope... The XE-7 is my baby and I love winding and shooting it. I have a pretty good kit of Rokkor lenses, so I good to go. Just need to shoot more and practice. I don't think I'll be able to DIY a stable light source, other then the idea of using an LED monitor to do a basic not scientific check of the my camera's exposure meters. If something is way off, I'll have to send it in to keh.com or someplace like it to get it done right in a lab by a pro. I value my cameras, and I need to have the faith and trust in their operation before running film though them. Right now, I'm confident in my XE-7 to do me right, and my Canon QL17 GIII. These two will do me fine for now, and I'll work on checking the rest of my cameras as time permits. Thanks all for the feedback and assistance, info and education... Happy Easter Egg Day!
I use the Minolta dual scan IV for my film scanning. I always use it in manual exposure mode especially if I want to check the exposure on film. In auto mode the scanner software automatically correct for exposure error as well as doing the color balance for the shot. Which is great for quick scan but you would not know if your exposure is right on or not. Using manual exposure setting on my scanner I can easily tell if my film exposure is off and by how much.
Your XE-7 is an automatic camera and it does call for using it in automode and thus the meter must work correctly. I used an SRT-101 for many years (The cameraless years) and didn't use its meter at all and had good exposures most of the time. I started having many bad exposures when I bought a spanking new Nikon F5 in 2002 and tried out it matrix metering system.
Kyoritsu used EV's 9, 12 & 15 The camera/meter is set for ASA 100 as a standard value.
When changing levels the knob had a mechanical feel and sound to it more like changing ND filters not like rotating an electrical switch.
The tester also allowed changing the "K" factor to a value used by the camera maker.
While fiddling with the "K" knob there was a slight difference in brightness possibly in color temp.

The most surprising scene of the night must have been that witnessed by one guest who ventured out of the nonsmoking Roundhouse on to the balcony for a cheeky snout.
There he was greeted by a bevy of waiters, all of whom seemed to have removed their trousers in unison - in preparation, we hope, for putting on their jeans and heading home.

Its seem to me a camera from 1920s with beaten leather. I visited few big 3d print factories and I did see White semi transparent ABS , no black ABS. Is it rare ? How much does it cost to you ? I wanted a print of Leica S2 body without mechanism and they wanted 300 euros. I think making small female molds from few pieces of aluminum and filling them with polymer to set is a cheap operation.
But I liked the viewfinder very much.

After potentially serious back-to-back laboratory accidents, federal health officials announced Friday that they had closed the flu and anthrax laboratories at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and have halted shipments of all infectious agents from the agency's highest-security labs.
The accidents, and the CDC's emphatic response to them, could have important consequences for other laboratories engaged in efforts to produce dangerous viruses and bacteria.
If the CDC -- which the agency's director, Dr. Thomas Frieden, called "the reference laboratory to the world" -- had multiple accidents that could, in theory, have killed both staff members and people outside, there will undoubtedly be calls for stricter controls on other university, military and private laboratories that handle pathogens.
In one accident, which occurred last month, as many as 75 CDC employees may have been exposed to live anthrax bacteria after potentially infectious samples were sent to laboratories unequipped to handle them. Workers who were not wearing protective gear ended up moving and experimenting with samples of the highly infectious bacteria that were supposed to have been deactivated. All the workers were offered vaccine and antibiotics, and the agency said no one was in danger.
In another episode, disclosed Friday, a CDC lab accidentally contaminated a relatively benign flu sample with a dangerous H5N1 bird flu strain that has infected 650 people since 2003, killing 386 of them. Fortunately, an Agriculture Department laboratory realized the strain was more dangerous than expected and alerted the CDC.
In addition to those mistakes, Frieden also announced Friday that two of six vials of smallpox recently found stored in a National Institutes of Health laboratory since 1954 contained live virus capable of infecting people.
All the samples will be destroyed as soon as the genomes of the virus in them can be sequenced. The NIH will scour its freezers and storerooms for other dangerous material, he said.
"These events revealed totally unacceptable behavior," Frieden said. "They should never have happened. I'm upset, I'm angry, I've lost sleep over this, and I'm working on it until the issue is resolved."
The anthrax and flu labs will remain closed until new procedures are imposed, Frieden said.
Scientists doing the most controversial work -- efforts to make pathogens more lethal or more transmissible -- say the research helps predict mutations that might arise in nature so vaccines can be designed. But other scientists feel that creating superstrains is unacceptably dangerous because lab accidents are more common than is often acknowledged, as Frieden's announcement indicated.
In the flu-related incident, a CDC lab accidentally contaminated a sample of less-dangerous H9N2 bird flu that it was preparing for shipment to an Agriculture Department laboratory with the H5N1 bird flu strain.
Although the contamination was discovered on May 23, Frieden said he was dismayed to discover that senior CDC officials were not informed until July 7, and he was told only 48 hours ago.
Nonetheless, he said, "we have a high degree of confidence that no one was exposed." The flu material was handled in high-biosafety-level labs in both agencies, and the workers wore breathing apparatuses.
In theory, the flu-related accident could have been much worse than the anthrax one.

It was Joe Roberson. Bo was out of town when that went down and the common feeling at the time was it would have had a different outcome had he been around. It was reported that Mo was offered treatment for his drinking and was fired after he refused. That being said, very few people know what might have gone on behind the scenes before Mo's public incident.
