Nordhoff High School soccer player Jules Pasco was joined by his parents and several friends last week when he signed his national letter of intent to play for California State University Northridge. Pasco has been a standout player for the Rangers for four seasons and was a key contributor on their 2013 CIF Championship team. He also suited up for the Santa Barbara Soccer Club where he helped his team to back-to-back national championships in 2012 and 2013. "You have brought a lot of pride to the school. It has been a pleasure watching you play," NHS principal Greg Bayless told Pasco.

President Obama's new College Scorecard site, which helps students and parents evaluate a college's cost, graduation rate and default risk, is nothing new, say critics. Some of the data is old, most has been available from other sources and college shoppers can't factor in family income to get an accurate "sticker price," reports the New York Times.
College Scorecard earns 'meh' rating
School choice pays off in D.C.
Washington D.C's federally funded school vouchers produced $2.62 in benefits for every dollar spent, concludes a study in Education Finance and Policy by Patrick Wolf and Michael Q. McShane.
More than 60 private schools in D.C. accept students with Opportunity Scholarships, which are awarded by lottery to low-income students. Students who won a scholarship were 12 percent more likely to graduate from high school compared to the control group of lottery losers, a U.S. Education Department study found. That increased graduation rate will generate large returns, Wolf and McShane write.
After the program's five-year pilot run ended in 2009, Congress and President Obama cut funding and closed it to new students. President Obama agreed to reauthorize the scholarships as part of the 2011 budget compromise.
If Congress had "redirected money from the bloated and ineffectual DCPS for the Opportunity Scholarship Program, then the cost of the program would have been nothing, and the benefits substantial," writes Matthew Ladner on Jay Greene's Blog.
High school grad rate tops 78%
The on-time high school graduation rate hit 78.2 percent in 2010, the highest in a generation and up 2.7 points in a year.
"If you drop out of high school, how many good jobs are there out there for you? None," Education Secretary Arne Duncan told AP.
While 93.5 percent of Asian-American students and 83 percent of whites complete high school in four years, that drops to 71.4 percent for Hispanics and 66.1 percent for blacks.
State graduation rates ranged from 57.8 percent in Nevada to 91.4 percent in Vermont.
Comparing graduation rates to any year before 1992 is impossible, writes RiShawn Biddle. The data collection method changed significantly. Some states and districts are reporting very dodgy data. Connecticut reported a 98 percent graduation rate for the class of 2010, which NCES refused to accept. The District of Columbia claimed "only one percent of students officially drop out over a four-year period." The key word is "officially."
On-time high school grad rate is 72%
Only 72 percent of students in the class of 2011 earned a diploma in four years, according to the U.S. Education Department.
Iowa had the highest graduation rate at 88 percent with Wisconsin and Vermont at 87 percent and Indiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas at 86 percent.
The District of Columbia's four-year graduation rate was 59 percent, the lowest in the country, notes Dropout Nation. Only 60 percent of black, Latino, and Native American students graduated on time. In Nevada, the black on-time graduation rate was 43 percent, the worst in the nation. Montana and Texas are "the only states in which four out of every five black freshmen in their respective Classes of 20111 graduated on time." Minnesota had the largest racial achievement gap with a 49 percent on-time graduation rate for blacks and 84 percent of whites
Nationwide, 79 percent of Asian-American students and 76 percent of non-Hispanic whites finished high school in four years.
If a student needs five years to earn a high school diploma — and really earns it — that's OK by me. I worry that "portfolio review" and "credit recovery" scams will pump up graduation rates.
Bridging the skills gap
Some 21 percent of jobs require "middle" skills — more than a high school diploma, but less than a bachelor's degree. Community colleges can help 1.5 million unemployed Americans bridge the skills gap, researchers say. But colleges will have to balance open access with the push for higher graduation rates.
It's the learning, stupid
Orlando's Valencia College graduates nearly thee times more students than the average at large urban community colleges. How do they do it?
College instructors need to design courses to meet the needs of "new traditional" students, adults who've been out of high school for years, writes a community college professor.
Schott: 52% of black males graduate in 4 years
Only 52 percent of black male and 58 percent of Latino male ninth-graders graduate from high school four years later, compared to 78 percent of white males, reports the Schott Foundation in The Urgency of Now. Black male graduation rates are improving, but not fast enough, according to the foundation, which calls for schools to focus on the neediest students.
Study: 2-year for-profit students earn more
Associate degree students at for-profit colleges raise their earnings as much as community college students — or more — concludes a new study. Students who choose the more costly for-profit option are nearly twice as likely to earn a degree as community college students, even though the for-profit students are more likely to be poor, black, single parents and GED holders.
Obama: Raise tuition and lose federal aid
College affordability was the theme of President Obama's speech at the University of Michigan yesterday. He called for spending more on Perkins loans and work-study programs — going from $3 billion now to $10 billion — but only at colleges and universities that provide "value." Students at colleges that raise tuition could lose access to loans and work-study jobs.
In addition, the president's plan (pdf) includes a $1 billion "Race to the Top for college affordability" and a $55 million "First in the World" competition to encourage productivity innovations, reports the Washington Post.
Higher education — including community colleges and lifelong learning for workers — is "an economic imperative," Obama said. While he proposed increasing tuition tax credits and keeping interest rates low on student loans, he said that's not enough. "Look, we can't just keep on subsidizing skyrocketing tuition."
So from now on, I'm telling Congress we should steer federal campus-based aid to those colleges that keep tuition affordable, provide good value, serve their students well. (Applause.) . . . If you can't stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down.
If "provide good value" and "serve their students well" means anything, it means the federal government will monitor graduation rates and employment outcomes, as well as tuition, for the entire higher education sector. Currently, "gainful employment" rules, which monitor former students' earnings and ability to pay back loans, cover only for-profit colleges and community college vocational programs.
Following the speech, Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education, issued a statement saying there's concern that the proposal would "move decision-making in higher education from college campuses to Washington, D.C."
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., a former education secretary, said the autonomy of U.S. higher education is what makes it the best in the world, and he's questioned whether Obama can enforce any plan that shifts federal aid away from colleges and universities without hurting students.
"It's hard to do without hurting students, and it's not appropriate to do," Alexander said. "The federal government has no business doing this."
President Obama also touted college "report cards" showing college costs and how well graduates do in the job market.
The U.S. Education Department and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are working on Know Before You Owe, a financial aid shopping sheet that will let future students estimate their debt, monthly payment and likely ability to repay loans. Parents and students also have requested a breakdown of college costs and information on repayment rates for graduates at each college.

National Lawyers Guild pushes back against OPD
Shortly after filming a protester being arrested by police in riot gear near 12th street and Broadway in Oakland, the Guardian caught up with Dan Siegel, a legal observer for the National Lawyers Guild, who had also witnessed the incident. The protester, who is at this time unidentified, was featured on the cover of this week's San Francisco Bay Guardian, squaring off with an officer in the police line shortly before being arrested.
Siegel described excessively forceful tactics employed by police officers that created more confrontation with protesters than was necessary in the hours of largely peaceful protests that gave way to shattering glass and trashcan fires when the sun went down. The unidentified protester was arrested at least an hour before police declared the assembly to be unlawful and ordered the crowd to disperse.
The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the National Lawyers Guild has publicly condemned police conduct at the scene of the July 8 protests that turned to riots, and the organization is considering legal action against the Oakland Police Department, according to a news release posted on the guild's website yesterday.
Carlos Villarreal, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild SF Bay Area Chapter, told the Guardian that possible legal action against the OPD was in very early stages, but NLG attorneys have met with many of the people who were arrested or otherwise detained or hurt by law enforcement. Villarreal confirmed that NLG attorneys have met with the unidentified protester in the video.
"If someone is in the streets, and they've been ordered to disperse, the method to get them to disperse is not to hit them in the head or the back with batons," Villarreal said. "Law enforcement potentially has a role to play if there are unlawful assemblies that become violent, but it shouldn't be the kind of involvement that deters people from completely lawful protest and assembly, which I believe by and large was what was going on."

Thank you for visiting the Swell blog. Visit us on www.facebook.com/swell for more exclusive fan offers, giveaways and more.
One afternoon during our Mexican adventure, we drove into the incredibly charming town of Sayulita. Adorable cafes and heladerías lined the cobblestone streets, intermittently dotted with handicraft, textile and artwork shops. The town has a decorative heart theme, which of course ups their cuteness factor tenfold. Coincidentally, local folk textiles use pom-poms on purses and pillows, so my Angie Pom Clutch fit right in!
Pictured: Fringe Top | Angie Clutch
Hola! I spent the last ten days surfing with my family in Mexico, in a beautiful area called Punta Mita. The town itself is pretty small, with an oceanfront main drag that includes a handful of restaurants and a tiny harbor that is home to about 20 ponga boats. There are several surf spots nearby, including pumping reef breaks and peeling point breaks. Because the surf was so plentiful, and September is off-season, we never ran into any crowds! The fish tacos were AMAZING, and the weather was gorgeous the entire trip, with clear skies and 90 degree turquoise waters. Viva México!

Vacation Inspiration: Style inspired by places we've been, and beaches we're wishing we were at now.
Today's Vacation Inspiration comes from Todos Santos, Mexico…
After Monday's unexpected clouds hovering over our otherwise perfect holiday beach weekend, we were reminded that California weather can be fickle. So we're dreaming of a place with sunnier skies and (nearly) guaranteed bikini weather: Todos Santos, Mexico.
On the packing list (pictured clockwise from top left):
* Krochet Kids Backpack: Don't bother bringing a suitcase. Everything you need (a handful of bikinis and a few essentials) should fit into this bag. A bonus: Each unique, crochet piece from Krochet Kids helps to create sustainable economic development programs that support holistic growth of individuals and communities within developing nations.
* Vans Shades: Add a pop of style with a cat eye. And because they're $12, your vacation won't be ruined if you lose them in the sand.
* Lace Top: Wear it as a beach cover-up or going out top.
* Straw Hat: Keep the shade off your face and the wind in your hair.
* Shandlas: The sandal/shoe hybrid. Perfect for packing light.
* Element Shorts: A great pair of cut-offs are always on the packing list
* Beach Riot Bikini: Make it a handful of Beach Riot bikinis since this will comprise about 95% of your wardrobe.
…wish we were here!

These brothers, both skilled and highly competitive when it comes to big wave surfing, invited Jordan to join them on one of their many treks to this notoriously large Baja break. While this swell wasn't as big as they all had hoped, the day long session did offer some of the cleanest conditions anyone had seen in recent memory.
Jordan packed his new toy, a Canon 50D, and snapped some incredible photos from the chartered boat in the channel:
After grabbing a bunch of shots from the boat and little dazed from the 3am wake-up call & subsequent race out to the famed Baja island, Jordan said he reluctantly got talked into jumping in the lineup with a GoPro in hand. Several waves and GP stills later, Jordan found himself right in the path of a rogue set wave. "This thing must've been 25 feet and it landed right on my head," Jordan explained. It rag dolled him and pulled him under on a vicious rollercoaster ride in the whitewash. "I was hacking up foam and wanted to kill Bryce when he did finally pick me up on the ski. Of course the biggest wave came though right when I decided to jump in the water." Overall Jordan was stoked to experience Todos on such a rare and remarkably clean & sunny day.
The above photos are unedited, straight from the camera shots. "The water was so blue and the conditions were so calm it didn't seem like I was at Todos at all." Rusty Long, Derek Dunfee, Jamie Mitchell, Dylan Graves, Maya Gabiera, Pat & Tanner Gudauskas, Dooma and of course Bryce and TJ Saeman were out there among others. Special thanks to Jordan for sharing his story and photos.

I have noticed a faster drain, 40% lost on 22hours standby, 2 hrs usage (approx). (10min talk time)
That means, about 20-30% of rated battery, on a 1yr old phone, argh, not again... I just want a less powerful ios, longer battery...
From Apple
- Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM)
- Standby time: Up to 200 hours

I will gather usage info today and post it. I just took my phone off of an all night charge, so we'll see what happens between now and when the battery dies in a few hours...

It is my understanding that this thread was started for people who are experiencing bad battery performance since installing iOS 6.1. We are all working together to find a solution.
For those people who do not have battery problems, why are you posting on this discussion? Do you have a suggested solution for us? We all would like our batteries to preform as wonderfully as yours!
I have tried every suggestion in this 10 page discussion and nothing has worked for me.
I spent quiet a bit of time on the phone with Apple tech support and they admitted this is a new wide-spread problem, but had no suggestion for me other than send my phone in for service (though the tech guy admitted he doubts it is a hardware issue since it began with the 6.1 update). He suggested I keep an eye out for another software update to fix the problem. This is Apple telling me this...

Noticed it too with 4S. tried already to drain it to shutdown and charged it fully. once taken from charger it was at 100% for an hour and then lost 2%. no apps used/terminated / no GPS nothing.
plus noticed today same problem with my ipad4 after updating iso 6.1

Ok, mine seem to be fixed now. Here's the status and how it was fixed:
Both iPad2 and iPhone5 got battery drain issue after upgrade to 6.1.
iPhone5: Repair did complete hardware restore and opened phone to test and check. Nothing found. I did a restore from iCloud backup. Did not fix issue. I did complete restore and started from scratch (auch, there goes all my messages and camera pictures etc...). Didn't fix the issue. I then did yet another network restore (yesterday morning when in charging mode) and suddently no battery drain issue anymore running halfway through my second day.
iPad2: Did network restore. Issue solved and still on 100% after two days on battery.

I have done exactly the same as Builder1, except talking to Apple. I.e tried all suggested solutions in this thread but still have a huge battery drain problem. I spent more than 10 effective hours on finding a solution but with no success.
Though, Thanks to all of you sharing your successful procedures. Looking forward to new "Howto:s" for solving the problem ...

Update to my previous post - at the risk of sounding like a n00b, "it's back".
Having closed all apps, "reset network settings" and restarting my iPhone 4S I have had 2-3 days of "normal" battery performance.
This morning, at 6:30AM unplugged my phone having been charging all night, I picked up my phone roughly 15 minutes later and noticed the phone was unusally hot. A quick check revealed the battery had lost 12% of charge and was dropping at about 1% per minute.
iStat showed roughly 4-6% CPU utilisation, but nothing else unusual. I've sinced closed down all open apps, but have not rebooted the phone.
It's now 8:30AM and the battery is at 45%.

Reset networking settings did not fix the issue. However, removel of exchange account fixed the issue for me. I have rempoved my exchange account, rebooted & re-added the account again. Battery life is good sofar & the phone didn't warm up at all in the past 2 hrs of heavy usage and I lost just 2% battery!

I am really baffled because I bought a new iphone 4s just last Thursday, restored it from a back up of my old iphone 4 and shazaam.... the battery drains before my very eyes. Flluy charged at midnight and darined by 6:30 am so not even the alram works. Very frustrating indeed. But I am now going to try your solution rapolu. I'll let you know.

It seems to not be affecting the iPhone 4 for some reason (at least from what I have read and personally experienced with ours) We have two old iPhone 4 models that are deactivated and we now uses as iPods. I updated those to 6.1 and have not had any battery issues with them. (This may also have to do with the fact that they are deactivated and not on the cellular network. The fact that they are i4's may be coincidence.) The same cannot be said for our two iPhone 5's. The battery drain on the i5's is terrible now that we are on 6.1. The battery drain is so bad, it is affecting my ability to do my job.

Correction. There were/are a number of people with iPhone 4's who have been having the problem, myself among them. However, using the steps in a previous post of mine seemed to solve the problem. Oddly enough, after fixing the phone, my default ringtone isn't the one I set. Oh well...

Same thing happened to me, after issue resolved with restore, ringtone is different

If you still have your limited one year warranty through Apple, you can trade in for a replacement at the Apple retail store but you will be taking a risk of getting a lower iOS. I traded in my iPhone 4 and got a replacement that had iOS 5.1.1 when i had booted it up. You will have to either stick with that current software and start from scratch. You can not restore from a previous back up if you've upgraded to 6.1 unless you have (6.0>6.0.1>6.0.2>6.1) because the software is too old(anything before iOS 6.0). If you truly want that last back up then you will be enforced to upgrade to 6.1 and still have the battery issue.
The Complete Restore technique has helped a lot but it is dying more rapidly than normal.
The Apple rep. that i talked to said they have notified the issue. Hopefull the Apple iOS Dev Team releases a 6.1.1 to fix battery bugs (LTE & CPU Over-used).

I have an iPhone 5 that that was updated to IOS 6.1 OTA and it drains incredibly fast. I first noticed the problem after I installed my first Passbook app: Starbucks. I have turned off location services in Passbook, but I'm still having the issue. I will try to reset the Network settings and see if that makes a difference.

my little red suitcase is packed
ust in time for my flight tomorrow to St Louis and Mary Engelbreit's two-day birthday workshop, I've finished packing my little red craft suitcase. It was my friend Amy's idea to take a craft suitcase tailored with supplies for the event.
You don't have to do much to a cute red suitcase from Paper Source except fill it up. But I did add a couple helpful "containers" to the inside lid. First, I made a coordinated blue pocket from a leftover product package, taping it firmly on three sides. It holds various papers and labels. Then I taped the red packaging base from my iPad stand, with its elastic ties already in place, beside the pocket to make a handy hanger. It holds some crystals, netting, and some French ribbon tape.
To organize the case, I made 4 blue boxes, each cut out of one 12"x12" piece of cardstock and folded up sort of origami style, to put in each corner. On the lid of each box, I glued something, like a button or a flower or a butterfly, to remind me of the assortment inside. Can you see the pearl button on the box in the back left corner (below)?
After adding a couple favorite vintage tins for more storage, I stuffed all the remaining space to the brim. I sure hope the cardboard suitcase is comfortable with this cramming technique. Obviously, there's a limit to how organized I can get.

Due to the most beautiful spring weather ever I am not much of a blog friend lately, sorry for that, but I haven't forgotten you! And to think that the summer even has to start, well sometimes real life is just calling you. Love your doodles and your suitcase, have a lot of fun in St. Louis!

Your passion in what you do clearly can be seen in the stuff you have in your suitcase. The idea of organizing your suitcase is very resourceful and creative. And I just like how the red colors make a striking contrast with the softer colors in your pack. They just jump out to you. How was the two-day birthday workshop?

Eating Our Cities: Dissecting the Urban Food Dilemma
as organic moved from fringe to mainstream the goals of the movement succumbed to the industrial model
Travelling long haul from Australia, to pretty much anywhere outside of South Asia, is a chore. Flying from Sydney eastward is a fourteen hour journey over nothing but ocean before you land at LAX. Heading northwest over the continental inland deserts, takes four hours just to cross the north western coast of Australia- and then it is another eighteen to twenty hours to Amsterdam plus a stop-over. As a result, Aussie travellers tend to read a lot on planes and in airports.
Recently, on a trip to Europe, I read Michael Pollan's seminal work, the Omnivores Dilemma. Published in 2006, this book begins with a simple proposition – What should we have for dinner? It goes on a deeply interconnected journey through the American industrial agricultural machine to explore the social, political and environmental impacts on the way we source, process and distribute our most basic need – food. Books like this emerge every year, however Pollans work stands apart because he brings an ethical dimension to the story; connecting both the story of inhumane treatment of animals, corporate bullying and other modern evils back to the act of eating- reminding us of our most intimate relationship with beasts.
Pollan does this by documenting his own journey through the various rituals required to prepare a meal from scratch, and we are not talking about a Saturday morning visit to the local farmers market. Sardined in the uncomfortably small seats I was both inspired and irritated by this book. Inspired because it opened up new ways to think about cities and food through the lens of a moral dilemma. Irritated because my family has a long history of leadership and innovation in the Australian sheep and beef industry and I felt they had been misrepresented after all don't American and Australian producers help feed the world? Inspired is a good place to start.
Extending Pollan's concept of linkage, it seems to me that when we talk about cities and food we are talking about two distinctively different concepts. The first emerges out of the local food movement – as Pollan rightly points out, the organic agriculture industry picked up on the increased environmental literacy of urbanites. Soon after Silent Spring by Rachel Carson was published in 1962, western citizens became increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of relentless resource use by the modern state.
However as organic moved from fringe to mainstream the goals of the movement succumbed to the industrial model (see chapter nine; big organic in above mentioned book). So as the urban community digested this new dilemma, the lure of the local seemed more logical. We wanted to reduce our ecological footprint – we wanted to talk to the farmer who reared and slaughtered the pot roast in our wicker basket. We wanted to know how the said farmer was also caring for the landscape that the pot roast, formerly known as a sheep, grazed on during their short but idyllic life. Then by the turn of the century, we became even more conscious of the carbon emissions created by the millions of tonnes of food flowing into our cities every day and we wanted to know if we could- at least on some level grow our food inside the city boundaries.
Urban agriculture is the latest iteration in our society's attempts to deal with the dilemma of feeding our cities.Yet like energy, the cheapest and most environmentally friendly food we can source is the food we waste. I'm not for a minute suggesting you send your little ones out the hang out at the dumpster behind the supermarket, but rather think about the total cost of our food habits. What does it 'cost' to buy that bulk pack of flour at the mega mart only to have the weevils dine on half the bag that you never got around to turning into home baked bread? This might sound glib- but from an ecological footprint calculation the single biggest contribution to Canberra's hectare equivalent of resources used to run this city is food. Canberra's ecological footprint was 8.5 global hectares (gha) per person or 2.65 million gha – roughly 11 times the actual land the Australian Capital Territory occupies.
Canberra is the highest per capita footprint of any Australian city and is also very high by world standards – equating to a shade under three earths equivalent for all of humanity to live the way we do. From a household footprint perspective, public transport barely registers on the above graph, while housing itself is minimal, and clothing substantial (echoing the need for a shift to ethical fashion). Food, with a whopping 49%) and, not surprisingly, goods and services (35% including clothing) make up most of the global impact Canberrans exert on the planet.
This is rarely considered when urban designers strive to find ways to make cities more sustainable. Unfortunately urban agriculture is and will be for the foreseeable future a boutique feel good reaction to what is a much larger global problem, and that leads me to my irritation. Pollen rightly points out in his book, and more recently on social media, that the US farm bill has much to answer for by creating fiscal policies encouraging massive overproduction of some resources at the expense of the ecological health of mid-west American landscapes and the social health of those supporting communities. In Australia we also have policy wonks driving the sector, however my country cousins have, for most of their lives, responded to markets and government policies by developing innovative practices to produce high quality products for the global market.
My generation of our family, who now carry on the tradition of their parents are painfully aware of the environmental impact of their industry and are at the forefront of adaptive management practices. No matter how much urban agriculture in cities can generate food for the masses. For all the great social as well as environmental benefits community gardens provide, they won't replace industrial agriculture as the primary method of global food production any time soon- and that is a dilemma we all face.
Urban designers should continue to advocate for changes to the way we use landscapes in cities for food production – but this needs to be in the context of the biggest gains possible in reducing our ecological footprint and that is a much bigger story.

abstract: The Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) contracted with Watershed Sciences, Inc. to collect high resolution topographic lidar data for multiple areas within the State of Oregon. The areas for lidar collection have been designed as part of a collaborative effort of state, federal, and local agencies in order to meet a wide range of project goals. The Camp Creek study area was collected August 19 - 27, 2008 and covers a portion of eastern Grant County. The total flown area covers 320 square miles, or 205,250 acres. This data set consists of bare earth and unclassified points. There are approximately 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. In some areas of heavy vegetation or forest cover, there may be relatively few ground points in the lidar data. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few lidar points are returned from water surfaces. Lidar intensity values were also collected.
purpose: Provide high resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data.

level: (MD_ScopeCode) dataset
report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy)
nameOfMeasure: Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
evaluationMethodDescription: Horizontal accuracies were not specified in the agreement since true horizontal accuracy is regarded as a product of the LiDAR ground foot print. LiDAR is referenced to co-acquired GPS base station data that has accuracies far greater than the value of the LiDAR foot print. The ground footprint is equal to 1/3333rd of above ground flying height. Survey altitude for this acquisition was targeted at 900 meters yielding a ground foot print of 0.27 meters. This value exceeds the typical accuracy value of ground control used to reference the LiDAR data (less than 0.01 m). Project specifications required the LiDAR foot print to fall within 0.15 and 0.40 meters.

lineage: (LI_Lineage)
processStep: (LE_ProcessStep)
description: The LiDAR data was collected between August 19, 2008 and August 27, 2008. The survey used a Leica ALS50 Phase II laser system mounted in a Cessna Caravan 208B. The system was set to acquire greater than or equal to 105,000 laser pulses per second (i.e. 105 kHz pulse rate) and flown at 900 meters above ground level (AGL), capturing a scan angle of plus or minus 14 degrees from nadir. These settings were developed to yield points with an average native density of greater than or equal to 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. The native pulse density is the number of pulses emitted by the LiDAR system. Some types of surfaces (i.e. dense vegetation or water) may return fewer pulses than the laser originally emitted. Therefore, the delivered density can be less than the native density and lightly variable according to distributions of terrain, land cover, and water bodies. The completed areas were surveyed with opposing flight line side-lap of greater than or equal to 50% (greater than or equal to 100% overlap) to reduce laser shadowing and increase surface laser painting. The system allows up to four range measurements per pulse, and all discernible laser returns were processed for the output dataset. During the LiDAR survey of the study area, a static (1 Hz recording frequency) ground survey was conducted over monuments with known coordinates. After the airborne survey, the static GPS data were processed using triangulation with CORS stations checked against the Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) to quantify daily variance. Multiple sessions are processed over the same monument to confirm the antenna height measurements and reported position accuracy. Multiple DGPS units are used for the ground real-time kinematic (RTK) portion of the survey. To collect accurate ground surveyed points, a GPS base unit is set up over monuments to broadcast a kinematic correction to a roving GPS unit. The ground crew uses a roving unit to receive radio-relayed kinematic corrected positions from the base unit. This method is referred to as real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying and allows precise location measurement (sigma less than or equal to 1.5 cm (0.6 in)). For the Camp Creek study area, 1452 RTK points were collected across 41 of the 243 flightlines, resulting in 17 percent of all flight lines being intersected by RTK survey points.

description: 1. Laser point coordinates are computed using the IPAS and ALS Post Processor software suites based on independent data from the LiDAR system (pulse time, scan angle), and aircraft trajectory data (SBET). Laser point returns (first through fourth) are assigned an associated (x, y, z) coordinate along with unique intensity values (0-255). The data are output into large LAS v. 1.1 files; each point maintains the corresponding scan angle, return number (echo), intensity, and x, y, z (easting, northing, and elevation) information. 2. These initial laser point files are too large to process. To facilitate laser point processing, bins (polygons) are created to divide the dataset into manageable sizes (less than 500 MB). Flightlines and LiDAR data are then reviewed to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points. 3. Once the laser point data are imported into bins in TerraScan, a manual calibration is performed to assess the system offsets for pitch, roll, heading, and mirror scale. Using a geometric relationship developed by Watershed Sciences, each of these offsets is resolved and corrected if necessary. 4. The LiDAR points are then filtered for noise, pits, and birds by screening for absolute elevation limits, isolated points, and height above ground. Each bin is then inspected for pits and birds manually; spurious points are removed. For a bin containing approximately 7.5-9.0 million points, an average of 50-100 points are typically found to be artificially low or high. These spurious non-terrestrial laser points must be removed from the dataset. Common sources of non-terrestrial returns are clouds, birds, vapor, and haze. 5. The internal calibration is refined using TerraMatch. Points from overlapping lines are tested for internal consistency and final adjustments are made for system misalignments (i.e., pitch, roll, heading offsets and mirror scale). Automated sensor attitude and scale corrections yield 3-5 cm improvements in the relative accuracy. Once the system misalignments are corrected, vertical GPS drift is then resolved and removed per flight line, yielding a slight improvement (less than 1 cm) in relative accuracy. At this point in the workflow, data have passed a robust calibration designed to reduce inconsistencies from multiple sources (i.e. sensor attitude offsets, mirror scale, GPS drift) using a procedure that is comprehensive (i.e. uses all of the overlapping survey data). Relative accuracy screening was complete. 6. The TerraScan software suite is designed specifically for classifying near-ground points (Soininen, 2004). The processing sequence begins by removing all points that are not near the earth based on geometric constraints used to evaluate multi-return points. The resulting bare earth (ground) model is visually inspected and additional ground point modeling is performed in site-specific areas (over a 50-meter radius) to improve ground detail. This is only done in areas with known ground modeling deficiencies, such as: bedrock outcrops, cliffs, deeply incised stream banks, and dense vegetation. In some cases, ground point classification includes known vegetation (i.e., understory, low/dense shrubs, etc.) and these points are manually reclassified as non-grounds. Ground surface rasters were developed from triangulated irregular networks (TINs) of ground points.

Motorola MBP41 Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor
At a glance
A video monitor system that offers crystal-clear images in both bright light or night-vision mode.
- Camera's pan, tilt and zoom can be controlled on parent unit
- Infrared night vision lets you watch baby in low light
- Up to a 590 foot range
- 2.8 inch color LCD screen
Product weight: 1.8 pounds
Product dimensions: 9.9 x 6.3 x 4.4 inches
BabyCenter Editors' review*
What it is
If parents compare this model to its predecessor (the MBP36) the first thing they might notice is that the screen, measuring 2.8 inches diagonally, is smaller than it used to be. So it's not as good, right? Wrong. The image on the updated model is so much clearer that users will never miss the bigger size. Details that used to be hard to make out (are her eyes closed or open?) are revealed, both in light as well as the model's stellar night vision mode. Another upside to the new version: The parent unit gets better battery life. You also get very clear audio and video, intuitive controls, and the same smooth camera pan, tilt and zoom as always, making the MBP41 a great choice.
What to watch out for
The MBP41 has thrown out a feature available on the MBP36: The camera unit no longer plays lullabies.

Nice cage
posted 8 years ago
This cage has a deeper pan and that provides room for more bedding, which can be important since birds are not know for their tidiness.
I like the white cage since it allows the birds to seen.
Pros: The deeper pan space allows for more bedding.
Cons: None

Did you?
It will get rusty
posted 7 years ago
This cage has a nice design, but the roof doesn't allow you to hang many toys that don't move around or hang right. It would be better if the roof were flat. Also, the roof doesn't really give the birds more room, if the cage were flat as the highest point on the roof, then the birds would have more room.
The cage itself, it rusted on me after about a year. We had the cage outside, and when cleaning we scrubbed it down and let it dry in the sun. It still rusted through the paint.
Also, the food doors, once you hang the food containers, it is hard to latch it closed as the horizontal bar part doesn't align with the bar on the cage part closely enough.
The bottom part, there is still areas that get poop on it around the tray.
The bottom part also cracked on one corner, and then fell out. So now I use zip ties to help keep it securely attached to the cage part. Not a good thing to have the birds fly away.
Lastly, the perch isn't very durable. The birds chewed through it very quickly. They also only give you one perch. It would be nice to have two of them.
Pros: Nice design, though impractical
Cons: can rust and also the roof design is useless
