Rahtz, Philip, Antiquity
A career in archaeology
Little in my childhood or school (in Bristol, in the west of England) predisposed me to a life in archaeology. My family assiduously looked at churches, castles, stone circles and earthworks. My schoolmaster father was well-informed on a number of subjects, but not archaeology. I was conspicuously weak at school (because I was bored), although I read widely; and left at the age of 16. I drifted into accountancy. Then I was in the Royal Air Force (1941- 6). I was stationed only a few miles from Stonehenge; and met Ernest Greenfield, who promptly got me keenly interested in archaeology and gave me intensive tours of the numerous prehistoric sites in the Stonehenge area--barrows and other earthworks. Ernest had had a long history of being an amateur archaeologist in Kent; he gave me as background material a copy of Richard Atkinson's Field Archaeology (Atkinson 1946), which instilled in me a keen desire to do an excavation myself.
Even before demobilisation after the end of the war (I was able to get home for leaves and weekends), I had begun a dig of my own near Bristol. It seems incredible now, over half a century later, that there was no legal obstruction to this--all one had to do was ask the farmer in whose land any chosen site was (I thought my mound was a Bronze Age barrow, but it turned out to be a medieval windmill mound). There was not much archaeology being done in Britain in 1946, so I joined a small number of amateur archaeologists. I had no training, qualification or experience (I had never seen an excavation). All I had were some rudimentary tools, also a prismatic compass, a measuring tape and camera; and of course my copy of Atkinson; and my wife and a few friends to help with the digging. I coped as well as could be expected, and the dig was done in 1946-48 (a trench across the mound); but (equally important and unusual for the time) I wrote it up and published it (Rahtz & Rahtz 1958). By 1949 I was known by the few local professional archaeologists. There was also a visit from Brian St J O'Neil, the then head of archaeology in the Ministry of Works, the government body which organised whatever digging was done before, during and after the war: mostly work on sites threatened by wartime operations or coastal erosion. He came to see if I should be stopped! But luckily I came across as a promising new recruit into the small number of archaeologists around in Britain at the time (the professionals were themselves mostly without formal training).
The windmill mound had introduced me to the difficulties of excavation (also the hard labour), recording and publication. This was followed by digging another mound nearby, with other earthworks around it. This was again not a barrow, but was Pagans Hill, a Roman temple and its ancillary well and buildings, which were extensively excavated in 1949-53. Thus quite accidentally I was plunged into both Roman and medieval archaeology, and by 1953 I was experienced in both field and study. The temple was duly published (Rahtz 1951; Rahtz & Harris 1957).
To make a living after the war, I was trained as a schoolmaster and taught in two schools. I also set up as a photographer in my Bristol home--this experience brought useful income to support an expanding family and was very useful in excavation. School teaching was highly uncongenial, and luckily archaeology saved me. Not far from my Roman temple, a new reservoir (Chew Valley) was soon to be made, planned before the war. In the 485ha (1200 acres) to be flooded, there was in 1953 only one known site, a suspected Roman road. O'Neil asked me to dig a trench across it--and I'd be paid[ Ernest Greenfield came to visit and through fieldwork we then located other sites, by inspecting the upcast from mole-holes, and observing the ground surface as it was cleared by huge machines. Within a few months, we were both fully employed and I had resigned from teaching. For two years, winter and summer, all weathers, we dug sites of every period--Neolithic to post-medieval. …

Carl Pettersson has made no secret of his distaste for golf's more obscure rules.
There was no way Nick Bova was going to miss this.
Bova, a golf pro on Long Island, N.Y., found out last month his brother and former college teammate Matt had won a sectional qualifier to earn a spot in the RBC Heritage.
Carl Pettersson was more concerned with the club than the cannon.
When the defending RBC Heritage champion prepared to open this year's tournament Monday with a ceremonial shot into the Calibogue Sound, Pettersson questioned the effectiveness of the replica 19th-century club he had been given.
Bluffton High's softball team exudes confidence. The Bobcats aren't afraid to talk about the high expectations they set for themselves and they have mostly lived up to them over the years.

Carl Pettersson relived his college days in a sense at last year's RBC Heritage.

This year, he is quick to bring up the top-ranked golfers in the field.

Wall Street Fixer Goes to Washington
famously gave back $421 million in bonuses to help the Swiss bank recover from the bursting of the tech bubble. "The first time I met Tom Nides it cost me and my partners $100 million, and I still like him," says Bennett Goodman, one of those star executives, who is now at the Blackstone Group (BX - Get Report)."He's really good at disarming people and sort of charming them and then taking control," says Ambassador Patricia Haslach, Iraq Transition Coordinator at the State Department. "He's very impressive. I've never really worked for anybody quite like him." Beyond stating a clear desire to return to the private sector, Nides claims he doesn't know what he wants to do next. This claim is not entirely believable. Ask Kantor about Nides' future, and the former U.S. Trade Rep. is a bit more guarded. "I literally wouldn't talk about that because we do discuss that," Kantor says. Whatever it is, it will likely make Nides oft-repeated description of himself as "just a lucky kid from Duluth, Minnesota," sound even less plausible than it already does. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.While at Credit Suisse, Nides helped broker negotiations in which star executives

Atlanta, GA----It was a pretty fair day for Mosley alum Chase Seiffert at the NCAA championship in Atlanta Wednesday.
Chase with 4 birdies and three bogeys for a one under 69 in round two. That along with his even par round Tuesday leaves him at one under for 36 holes.
That's just 6 shots off the individual lead held by Jon Rahm of Arizona State who after a 61 yesterday, came back to the field in a way Wednesday shooting a two over 72.
The Seminoles moving up the team leaderboard a bit with a collective 3 under par for the day, so the Seminoles are four over, 16 shots off the lead now held by Georgia Tech which is a collective 12 under.
Florida at 14 over, is near last place, 30 shots off the lead.

Haaf's Game Engine(HGE for short) is a Open Source 2D Game Engine, although by certain forum users described as a rendering engine, however it can be easily expanded with physics, network libraries and more if those are needed for your games.
This engine is published under the The zlib/libpng license and is free to use even in commercial applications, however it makes use of the BASS audio library for sound, which is free for non-commercial but for commercial use you will need to purchase BASS or use a different audio library(BASS can be simply disabled).
HGE has been around for quite some time and has been found to be very stable.
For more features click here.
A linux port has been made that is available here: Icculus.org
The HGE Supporters group are not the original creators of HGE, however since there isn't much activity from the original creators, the HGE Supporters group will be upkeeping this engine profile instead, all credits goes to the original HGE Development team for this great engine.
Since this update does not contain a lot of "changes" or "adds", we decided to skip the changelog this update.
Okay, let's start of with the more visual content and save the talkiness for later.
New entering animation
From space we come and shall ever return
So, we've been working with the animations when entering a new territory from your mothership, we still need to polish it a bit tho. We will come back with a gif as soon as we are happy with the results!
Yesterday I went to a local school for testing of our game, it went incredibly well and I was not expecting the amount of feedback we got. So we got a few changes and would like you guys to hear it and maybe throw in a comment or two!
You can read about monsters, guns, units, ships, planets, basically everything on our game here. You can also keep track on what you have missed (secrets, chests) inside the currently playing level, but this feature is only accessible when that level already has been completed.
Your log will only save data about the object when encountering it, either killing a unit you have never encountered, or picking up a weapon you have never seen.
This is something we've wanted to do a long time, just like in Metal Slug, mechs will be available in the final product!
So this is our idea of game progression...
Firstly, you start off on a planet you have never seen, the only thing you know is that you just crashed there. Venturing out on an adventure seeking a new ship, you hijack an enemy mothership. After escaping the planet you realize that your hyperspeed System is broken and need some new parts located in different camps around the planet. After collecting all of these parts you unlock the ability to travel in hyperspeed, therefor you can travel to different planets.
The planets setup will be something found in Super Mario World, basically this:
You can travel to any planet you want, you can even finish the game directly by going after the last boss located on the most badass planet. But that is not a good idea since the games difficulty level scales from each planet, so you CAN kill the boss with the first gun, but it's ridicoulusly hard.
So for the feeling of progression, we decided that we should use percentage by showing how much of that planet that has been complete, like shown in the picture. You will also know which level who is the next one during the main quests by telling you during the cutscenes and adding a little note to the planet you SHOULD visit next, also shown in the picture.
Of course you can play the missions in a different way, by doing this, you will unlock a different ending, and some other looking cutscenes and dialogs.
We hope you are as exciting as we are, this will be a fun ride!

You guys might want to know that HGE has been ported to Linux. So any HGE game can now be compiled to also run on Linux.
Now there is no reason for game developers using HGE to not support Linux, not to mention sell a few more games to the Linux users.
HGE is a good engine. easy to do own game.I too making game with HGE engine. My skill of programming its not much but with HGE i can focus to important things not to fight with system;)
late reply: Yep, including commercial use, the sound library it uses(Bass) was/is not free for commercial use though, but it can be disabled and replaced with your own/another sound library.
I learned how to make a main menu with Game Maker 4, but those were hard to set up, this is easy, much less programing required :)
Glad to see it posted here. A good engine, which is keep me learning some programming stuff.
nice...i download it now and im sure im gonna track this engine

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards used a birthday fund-raiser today to reach out to voters with little cash to donate.
While most presidential campaign fund-raisers feature thousand-dollar-a-plate meals, Edwards returned to his hometown roots with an event featuring backyard barbecue and pie. The entrance fee was just 15 dollars.
Edwards told the crowd that he needs voters to mobilize to create change. He compared the current need for change to the Civil Rights movement, ending the War in Vietnam and the movement to end apartheid in South Africa.
The former North Carolina senator was joined in Chapel Hill by his wife, Elizabeth, kids and parents. He also got the support of former niversity of North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith.
It was Edwards' 54th birthday.

Do you have any real evidence that it is not an extraterrestrial vehicle?
The logic is in error, I agree, but at least the Septic Skeptics come up with explanations based on what we know .
The Gullible Goofies say it MUST be an ET spacecraft or that it very possibly is.
I know of bugs and bags, I know of hoaxes, I know of digital camera anomalies, but how many of you have met an ET or an ET spacecraft?

"Replica foods are in a class all their own. They're intriguing, weird, gross when dusty, and just plain funny. In a window, or on a dessert cart for display, or even on a buffet line, you want to touch it--just to make sure it's not real. The suppliers are everywhere, and we can feel a really expensive yet epic April Fools' Day joke in the works here . . . While many of the plastic party trays make reasonable sense, we found some funnies that were just too good to keep to ourselves."
From this week's review of fake foods, called "7 Funny Faux Foods."
"Hemp milk, hailed for its nutrient-dense, high-essential-fatty-acid, high-calcium properties, steams like a dream. Regardless of what you think of the flavor, there is no room to argue about the difference between the latte "art" produced with rice milk and that produced with hemp. Boasting a texture far more similar to cow's milk, hemp milk has a flavor reminiscent of soy milk's "earthiness," but is markedly easier for most people to digest. Plus, adding hemp to your coffee makes you seem inherently hip."

"The Challenge: The famous 12-egg omelet that Man vs. Food's Adam Richman--a man who polished off a 72-ounce steak with as much gusto as he did a two-gallon ice-cream sundae--wasn't able to finish. OK, he had chili and sour cream in his omelet, but still. As if 12 unborn chickens weren't enough, the omelet is served with a mountain of hash browns and eight pieces of butter-soaked toast. You can add whatever you want to your omelet, everything from chili to smoked salmon. I stuck to tomatoes and onions, because, well, isn't four pounds of food enough for you sick bastards?"
From the debut of Julien v. Food, in which our 108-lb eating machine takes down a 12-egg omelet at Beth's.
"That's right, it's time to talk dough, people, and not just any dough--deep-fried, iced, sugared, filled, dipped, dusted, and dunked. When last we discussed Seattle's Top Five Lattes, there was quite an uproar along the lines of a room full of people who hadn't yet had their morning latte. Luckily there were a few caffeinated wardens to keep the wolfpack in line and slap some sense into them! We can only hope this endeavor is as lucky. Might we suggest you reread our recent picks for Top 5 lattes after this, and then make a morning of it this weekend? Just let us know what time we should meet you there. You're buying."

"I have made a lot of jokes in the past about trashing taquerias for running out of carnitas, setting fire to Olive Garden franchises, and punching nuns standing between me and the last breakfast burrito. Most of these threats are hyperbole. Some are just wishful daydreaming. In all my years of eating and writing about food, I have yet to wreck up a cheeseburger stand that ran out of bacon or cherry milkshakes, or assault a sushi roller just because he fucked up my salmon skin roll. That kind of thing takes a whole different level of arrogance than I possess (an almost Charlie Sheen-y level of self-love and ego, one might say). Or maybe I've just never had a day bad enough where a missing bite of something was enough to send me over the edge.
But it happens, you know? There are YouTube videos of people going nuts at the McDonald's drive-thru when they can't get their McNuggets or McMuffins, and plenty of stories of the mentally unbalanced going completely over the edge when they can't get their donuts, tacos, or pie fast enough. But across the pond in Wales? Well, apparently, those people are just crazy."
From "This Is How You're Going to Die: Cake Rage."
"I love me some towering onion rings from Red Robin. My arteries and hindquarters, on the other hand, do not. Now that most restaurants provide you with calorie counts, it's becoming harder and harder to ignore how unhealthy many chain-restaurant meals can be. My beloved Red Robin onion rings? One order, along with two different dipping sauces, contains a whopping 1,773 calories. (According to a report published by the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion in 2010, depending on one's weight, height, amount of physical activity engaged in each day, the average man should consume between 2,000 and 3,000 calories per day. The average woman should consume between 1,600 and 2,400 calories per day.)
Chowing down on such a calorie laden meals gets can get you to wondering: How far would you have to walk to work it all off? "

Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap has always fascinated its viewers with its interesting stories from the illustrious past of India. Many characters that find a mention in our history books are portrayed on screen and that too in a very convincing avatar.
"The latest to join the bandwagon is Raju Shrestha who will soon be seen in the much talked about show Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap on Sony TV. More famous as the child actor Master Raju he will enter the show as the character of Mian Tansen."
Tansen was a classical musician and a reputed poet known for his number of compositions. He was one of the Navratanas (nine jewels) in the court of the Mughal Emperor Jalal ud-din-Akbar. So how is his entry in Maharana Pratap justified?
"Tansen was born to a wealthy Hindu poet who also was an accomplished musician and Tansen's original name was Ramtanu Pandey. He was trained in both Hindustani classical music as well as Sufi music. Well, till now we have seen Meerabai and Akbar's entries in the show. If we dig into history we will find out that Akbar who had a great taste in art, culture and music once gets to hear a bhajan composed by Meerabai (Muskaan Nancy James) sung by Tansen. He likes the composition so much that he enquires more about it from Tansen who tells him that the original composition is by Meerabai. Akbar (Arish Bhiwandiwala) in his quest to meet the legendary poetess gets into a disguise and along with Tansen goes to Chittor fort to see her and hear her sing. He is completely mesmerized by her singing and offers his reverence to Meerabai. This might be the story which will justify the presence of Tansen in the show," concludes our source.
We tried to contact Raju Shrestha but he was unavailable. For the vierwers this is quite an interesting piece of history which you will get to see in Maharana Pratap.

Scientists Successfully 3D Print Embryonic Stem Cells For the First Time
Posted By Kristine Lofgren On February 11, 2013 @ 11:22 am In Design,Design for Health,Green Technology,Innovation,News | 8 Comments
As much fun as 3D printing [2] can be (printed mini figurines [3] and lampshades [4] anyone?), it's also a world-changing technology with the potential to save lives. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University [5] in Edinburgh just successfully 3d printed embryonic stem cells for the first time, and the technology has the potential to eliminate the need for organ donation. The artificial tissue could also provide laboratories with a ready supply of material for research purposes, eliminating animal drug testing and the need to acquire embryonic stem cells.
The process – developed by Dr. Will Shu [7] and his colleagues at Heriot-Watt University's Biomedical Microengineering group [8] in partnership with Roslin Cellab – is different from previous 3D cell printing attempts because it can produce delicate embryonic cell cultures. Prior to this, printing could only produce 2D cells or cells that are tougher than human stem cells. "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that these cells have been 3D printed. The technique will allow us to create more accurate human tissue models which are essential to in vitro drug development and toxicity-testing," says Dr. Shu.
The technology could provide doctors with an endless supply of organs for transplantation, and it could entirely eliminate the practice of animal drug testing. According to Dr. Shu, "In the longer term, we envisage the technology being further developed to create viable 3D organs for medical implantation from a patient's own cells, eliminating the need for organ donation, immune suppression and the problem of transplant rejection."

Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Research Interests
My primary research interest is to develop, optimize and apply novel computational and statistical methods for integrated analyses of versatile existing or emerging high-dimensional data platforms, with the long term goal to derive solutions that may lead to discovery of novel biology insights and impact on genomic research. I have utilized rigorous statistical methods combined with biologically meaningful algorithms to investigate implicit and explicit biomarkers and biological signatures, and to model the biological pathways and networks associated with disease progression and drug response. Specifically, next generation sequence (NGS) data has revealed unprecedented levels of complexity in biological samples that escaped detection by other "omics" technologies, such as detection and measurement of exons, splice variants, rare transcripts, microRNAs, and SNPs etc. I am also working on several cutting-edge bioinformatics problems in the context of large-scale next-generation genome sequencing projects. A few ongoing projects included reliable signal extraction and deconvolution of complex samples from RNA-Seqdata to understand cellular heterogeneity; integrative analysis of data generated by multiple platforms, such as gene expression, methylation, copy number variation, etc. for statistical inference of gene regulatory networks in important cellular processes. In pursuing scientific discoveries in bioinformatics arena, I enjoyed close collaborations with biologists.

This post is a part of special Reverb Questionnaire series in which we ask local bands to discuss the legacy of the Seattle music explosion of 1991, as well as the class of 2011.
Mash Hall is among the 70+ local bands playing SW's Reverb Festival on Oct. 8. They play the Sunset at 11 p.m.
SW: What do you think the legacy of the 1991 grunge explosion is for the Seattle scene?
Larry Mizell, Jr.: The music scene here has flipped so many times since those days. There's been so much reaction to that huge specter that hangs over everything, so it's kind of omnipresent but still, for me, impossible to really trace in most of the music I hear coming out of here now. What I do know is that a lot of us grew up hearing that music, and have strong feelings about it. I know I do. I love Northwest music period. So there's a lot of nostalgia that folks share about that period, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't always creep into the music. It's still, like, corny to the younger heads (the indie-rock identified kids at least); it's probably like cats felt about Motley Crue when Nevermind dropped.
Still, it's not lost on me that I discovered local hip-hop because Loosegroove Records, a label founded by Stone Gossard, put out a compilation called 14 Fathoms Deep. The first full-length album of local hip-hop I bought was Maxed Out Singles by Black Anger, and it came out on K Records. I think a lot of folks around my age, including some of our biggest local artists, found out that there was even hip-hop from here because of those releases and others. Now, Sub Pop--a label that was founded on the g-word--put out Shabazz Palaces' Black Up, my personal album of the year, and will be putting out THEESatisfaction's Awe Naturale. The OK Hotel, where "Teen Spirit" was first played, is now artist spaces where The Physics and others make music. In my eyes, that speaks to a certain polarity shift that's happened.
That doesn't mean hip-hop is the new grunge here--that's a lazy writer thing I hate. The way they mean is that Seattle hip-hop could become this huge MTV phenomenon that becomes emulated and everything; I don't think music even moves like that anymore.Do you hear many influences of the sound in today's bands?
Maybe. There's heavy bands for sure that I love (Helms Alee and Akimbo come to mind) but I don't know if it's really that sludgey, grungy, loud-quiet-loud thing. There was a band called The Valley that kind of gave me that feel, but they aren't together anymore.
In what ways is your band influenced by the 1991 sound?
'91 is a bedrock year for me and Bles personally sound-wise. The dual glories of New Jack Swing and hard, crunchy, sample-heavy rap, classic West Coast swagger. That's what we were trying to evoke on They LA Soul for sure.
How do you describe the Seattle sound today?
It's everything. There's so many folks here from literally everywhere else that you have an incredible amount of styles and vibes out here, and I think that's a strength. Diversity is essential in any strong system. People in the hip-hop scene out here have long complained that our not having some codified sound has been a liability, but I think that's bullshit. The sound of Seattle now is a bunch of different parties cross-pollinating, and that's way more accurate to the spirit of the city as I see it today.

Green Mountain Power works to restore outages from stormJuly 04,2014Green Mountain Power issued the following press release this morning:
Green Mountain Power has restored power to more than 20,000 customers who lost power during yesterday's storm. The areas where damage was most extensive include towns along the Route 4 corridor, particularly around Poultney, Springfield, and Sunderland.
"The reported 70 mile per hour winds brought down hundreds of trees onto lines and broke dozens of poles," said Dorothy Schnure, GMP corporate spokesperson. "Each of these events needs a line crew and a tree crew, and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to make repairs to half a day or more if the damage is extensive."
Green Mountain Power crews worked through the night in difficult conditions, assisted by more than 110 contract lineworkers and tree trimmers. Fresh crews are arriving today from Canada and southern New England to keep an intensive effort to restore power as quickly as possible.
"We've made significant progress restoring power overnight and expect to get most customers restored by late today," said Schnure. "But in the areas with severe damage, we expect to be working on restoring customers' power well through the weekend."
"For the latest information, we will post updates through Facebook, Twitter, and media announcements," Schnure said. "We have put together a large contingent of workers to restore power as quickly as we can."
GMP offered the following safety advice for the public when experiencing high winds and thunderstorms:
* Treat any downed line as if it is live and stay at least 50 feet away from the line, and keep children and pets away.
* Contact GMP at 1-888-835-4672 to report downed lines and your local first responders if the lines are blocking roadways.

Tastes fantastic
Posted by Reviewer1586534 on Feb 07, 2015
This goes great in coffee and in some other cooking.
Great taste!
Posted by 5296858191700165660 on Dec 11, 2014
I use this in my coffee with oatmilk every day, but also in tea and baking. Has a great caramel sugary tastes that goes with every thing. I often sweeten my plain soya yoghurt with this and add banana, coconut flakes, cinnemon and so on. Great in smoothies as well!
Posted by 4649354297620348453 on Dec 10, 2014
Fake taste. Horrible after taste. Waste of money.
Posted by Reviewer2627454 on Nov 02, 2014
I'm not a stevia fan...bought this for someone else. She says she loves the strong, bold taste of English Toffee. Adds a nice kick to coffee and loves the luscious smell...
Posted by 5156790524717695201 on Oct 21, 2014
very good! can be used in a lot of thing. very good in pancakes
Tastes like candy
Posted by 5433629543707912661 on Oct 15, 2014
Also a favorite flavor <3 <3 such a candy taste
long names will lead to more mistakes
Posted by 4811186222652974848 on Oct 12, 2014
I wanted to get Wisdom Natural, SweetLeaf, Liquid Stevia, Sweet Drops Sweetener,not flavoured. Instead I ordered toffee - from all flavours only one I loathe :( But I don't take all blame on me, as all this long names will just make confusion [con]... As flavours are not highlighted, so after researching website for an hour, I ordered Wisdom Natural, SweetLeaf, Liquid Stevia, Sweet Drops Sweetener,Wisdom Natural, SweetLeaf, Liquid Stevia, Sweet Drops Sweetener,Wisdom Natural Toffee SweetLeaf, Liquid Stevia, Sweet Drops Sweetener, without noticing it is wrong one. Why low rating for a good product? Because I normally look at low scores first, and If someone is going to stumble upon this comment maybe is going to be more aware of this weakness during ordering.
Posted by 5065353057016861839 on Oct 03, 2014
Not really the best for my taste.
Posted by Reviewer2948708 on Sep 13, 2014
Ok as a sweetener, but I'm not too keen on the toffee taste. Really unpleasant and bitter if you use too much, ok if you only add a few drops.
Really good with hot drinks
Posted by Reviewer2870084 on Sep 01, 2014
Ive tried different brands and forms of stevia and this brand is the best, vanilla cream and also english toffee tastes are really good and enough strong so u dont have to empty the bottle right away. No funny after taste. It tastes good with coffee, hot chocolate, also nice with plain yoghurt etc. One bottle lasts us maybe about 3 weeks but we use it all the time.

Montreuil : Michelin's recommendations
A peaceful town reminiscent of a bygone age, Montreuil stands on a plateau overlooking the Canche valley. Its old streets are lined with 17C and 18C houses untouched by the modern world. The citadel, rebuilt by Vauban, and the shaded ramparts (16C-17C) offer views of the valley. The town inspired Victor Hugo, who in 1837 chose it as the setting for one of the episodes of Les Misérables. Don't miss Saint-Saulve church, an old Benedictine abbey built in the 11C and altered in the 13C and 16C.

Gar Graham, the retired U.S. Air Force major general who had jumped into one of the most fascinating Republican legislative primaries in 2012, has now jumped out.
Graham earlier this year had said he would take on House Majority Leader Amy Stephens, R-Monument, who had been roasted by conservative activists in 2011 for sponsoring legislation to set up the state's health care insurance exchange, a key tenet of the Affordable Care Act, better known to its enemies as "Obamacare." Tea Party activists had labeled Stephens' legislation, Senate Bill 200, "Amycare."
But Graham said Thursday he won't be staying in the race.
The Spot Blog
- Read the inside scoop on Colorado politics and policies at blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/.

- Full political news coverage at denverpost.com/politics.
Newly drawn legislative districts put Stephens and Rep. Marsha Looper, R-Calhan, in the same House District 19 seat, and unlike in some other pairings of Republican incumbents under the new maps, neither lawmaker would withdraw from the race.
"Having met with Rep. Looper and studied her voting record, I am confident she will demonstrate consistent leadership in standing for our core Republican values," Graham said in a statement. "Rep. Looper will hold Stephens responsible for her SB 200 support of Obamacare and her questionable voting record of only 50 percent support for key conservative values."
Though Graham praised Looper for "rock-solid conservative leadership" and blasted Stephens for a "liberal voting record," those labels are tricky to use for both women.
While she voted against SB 200, Looper, for example, sponsored legislation in prior years to make it easier for Colorado farmers to legally import Mexican laborers, a move some Republicans balked at.
And Looper told The Gazette of Colorado Springs that she would support civil unions between gays as long as marriage remains between a man and a woman.
Stephens, meanwhile, has been known historically as a social and fiscal conservative, having once worked for Focus on the Family and having once sponsored legislation to impose a fee on adult movies watched at hotels, with the revenue used to fund efforts to fight sexual predators of children.

The Mexican Revolution and the Destruction
of the Mexican Cattle Industry
gressing inexorably into the I92os, destroyed the flourishing beef cattle
industry of that country's northern states. Enmeshed in the massive pillaging
of extensive cattle haciendas could be seen a microcosm of some of the
impulsive factors of the Mexican Revolution-a quest for land, nationalism
bordering on xenophobia, foraging by revolutionary factions, and the
destruction of the large haciendas and the attendant system of peonage.
Also evident in the situation of the Mexican cattle industry during this
tumultuous decade were conflicts which exacerbated still further the already
strained relations between Mexico and the United States.
Northern Mexico's cattle industry had achieved a high place in the
national economy by 1900oo. Large haciendas, developed over a span of
nearly four centuries, annually produced hundreds of thousands of head of
cattle that enriched northern hacendados (large ranchers) and filled ranges
both in Mexico and the United States. In the agricultural census of 1902,
the Mexican states of Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo Le6n, and
Sonora contained over i,ooo,ooo head of cattle valued at approximately
12,000,000 pesos.' This industry aimed primarily at an export market in
the United States; as a result, attempts were made to upgrade the quality
of livestock in order to improve its market value north of the Rio Grande.
Impetus for the improvement of Mexico's criollo, or native, stock came
from both Mexican and foreign cattlemen. The importation of Hereford
bulls by such stockraisers as theCorralitos Land and Cattle Company, an
American based firm later owned by British interests, and Luis Terrazas,
Mexico's largest landholder and former governor of Chihuahua, produced
a meatier, more valuable animal on Mexican ranges by 191o.2 Continual
*Mr. Machado, professor of history at the University of Montana, has written exten-
sively on various aspects of the Mexican cattle industry. Funding for this project resulted
from a grant from the Social Science Research Council in I971-1972.
'Direcci6n General de Estadistica, Estadistica ganadera de la Repiblica (Mexico City,
1902), 9, 41, 45, 49, 51. The peso prior to 191o was valued at two to the dollar.

Ted Simons: The Phoenix Convention Center recently hosted the eighth annual border security Expo. The two-day event attracted law enforcement officials, policymakers and vendors. Producer Christina Estes and photographer Juan Magana stopped by the exhibit hall where it seemed no move went unnoticed.
Company Official: It offers night vision capability.
Company Official: We do people counting.
Company Official: We are a very slow detection.
Company Official: We count the individuals on a ten-minute increment.
Christina Estes: Among more than companies showing off their latest tools --
Ready? This is called the dragon runner 20.
Christina Estes: It was a small, quiet booth that really caught our eyes.
Kevin Haskin: We are showing the premiere facial recognition software.
Christina Estes: Cognitec systems is a German company with a powerful reach.
Kevin Haskin: It's being used in airports. Around the world. The camera captures your face and is using pattern technology to look at this part of your face. Just above your eyebrow to just above your lip and there's patterns and contours within your face just like a fingerprint.
Christina Estes: From a single image, has since says, they can determine with a degree of certainty, your race, gender and age within about five years. They can verify you are the person on your passport or driver's license or run your face through a watch list or suspect database. When it comes to more challenging pictures --
Kevin Haskin: Running recognition right now we still have enough from the face to come up with a hit. But that's generally not good enough.
Christina Estes: They put a 2-D image into a 3-D to generate facial characteristics.
Kevin Haskin: With that information, we now have a matchup of a suspect at this point.
Christina Estes: They collect location information, too. If a person showing up somewhere more often than usual, Haskins says they can alert police.
Kevin Haskin: We are talking about facial recognition. We are not talking about anything that a human can't do. We're just making it faster, quicker, and more reliable.
Joe Battaglia: This is used to surveil large areas of the border.
Christina Estes: New York-based telephonics already has more than truck-mounted systems along our southern border. This is their latest model.
Joe Battaglia: He's got maps of the local area on his computer. He can expand, he can zoom in on certain areas right down to a street level, to a house level. He can actually see what's going on.
Christina Estes: The mast can reach feet high with cameras that can track people miles away.
Joe Battaglia: We have found that we have numerous international opportunities for this. As you well know there's lots and lots of borders around the world with lots and lots of people that don't like each other.
Christina Estes: For those who don't like the possible invasion of privacy, he says --
Joe Battaglia: You can't have it both ways. You know? We're -- the system is built to defend the people. And in order to do that you have to have knowledge what was going on in the area. And the only way you can do that is through some. Electronic devices that we have.
Christina Estes: In 1996, Swedish company axis communications became the first to release a surveillance camera that could transit data throughout internet.
John Merlino: The way that it's used has to be purposeful. I think -- I don't know that it needs to be regulated. Certainly I wouldn't say it needs to be regulated but it has to be done in a way that respects people's privacy. People can use technology not just cameras, to make their environment safer. They're generally in favor of it.
Christina Estes: Safety is not the only selling point. Retailers are using it to save and make money.
Kevin Haskin: If a shoplifter comes in, security receives the alert. If it's a VIP, cons area or buyer's assistance may receive that notice.
Christina Estes: Businesses also like to break down the demographics so they can figure out who is shopping when and where they are spending the most time.
Kevin Haskin: I was asked, where could you see this in years? I can't tell you where it's going to be in six months. The technology is so evolving and so advancing that with our company and what we are doing, I am amazed six months from now what we are going to be releasing.
Ted Simons: Axis Communications says it likes to partner with young, innovative minds at Universities when researching and developing new technological ideas. Tomorrow on "Arizona Horizon," it's our weekly look at state politics with the "Arizona Capitol Times." And we'll hear about efforts to improve American Indian education. That's tomorrow at 5:30 and 10 on the next "Arizona Horizon." Reminder if you want to check out our website, see previous programming or check out what we have in store for the remainder of the week and month, you might want to check us out at azpbs.org/horizon. That is it for now. I'm Ted Simons. Thank you so much for joining us. You have a great evening.

And Then We Adopted a Cat: Nigel Tufnel Hogan
Last month, we went shopping for a dining room table and came home with a cat.
Yes. A cat.
After moving in together, Stephanie and I needed a table. And thus the Great Table Quest was born. I had no idea shopping for a table could be so stressful. You would have thought we were searching for an organ donor.
Stephanie really wanted a table she found at IKEA. Or rather, she really wanted the green chairs that came with the table. The table itself could have been cut in the shape of Dan Quayle's head and I doubt she would have cared (so long as the table was the 'right color').
"But the chairs!" she cried as she ran her hand over the
faux real leather covered metal frame, caressing it like it was a thoroughbred horse. "They are amazing."
At $150 a pop, the chairs weren't exactly doing it for me. "For the price of four chairs, we could get a table and chairs somewhere else."
Stephanie just stared at me with saucer-sized eyes and ran her hands up and down the green chairs. "…Amazing…" she whispered, over and over. "…Amazing…"
A week later, after our 135th table-shopping stop of the day (Lansing is not hurting for table stores), Stephanie said, "We're not far from the Capital Area Humane Society. Can we go pet kitties? I need some kitty therapy."
We were in the humane society for three seconds before Stephanie had a cat in her arms. He was an orange domestic long haired fellow. I knew from the look in Stephanie's eyes, there was no way he wasn't coming home with us. Stephanie grew up with scores of cats, so she has wanted to adopt one for awhile (especially since her degu, Cosmo, went on to his reward this summer¹).
Papers were signed. Money changed hands. A confused cat was stuffed in a carrier. Before I knew it, we were 'cat parents'².
We kept his name, Nigel, because we both liked it—and I saw it as some kind of sign. "We have to name him Nigel Tufnel Hogan," I told Stephanie. "This is non-negotiable."
[video link]
After a quick trip to YouTube and a few clips from This is Spinal Tap later, Stephanie agreed.³
Nigel and I have become rather close, to the point where I think Stephanie might be a bit jealous.
"Why does he like you so much?" she asked as Nigel purred in my lap.
"We're both guys. We're bros. We have an understanding."
Stephanie shook her head. I added: "…I'm also the one who feeds him."
I am endlessly amused by Nigel and his weird cat behavior: sleeping for ten hours, stalking us or his toys, exploring bags, filling boxes with his liquid-like form, and so on—as my friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter read about on a nearly hourly basis. He even inspired a comic strip.
I was going on and on about Nigel to my family recently, and my sister, the mother of a toddler, said: "For the love of…JUST HAVE A BABY ALREADY!"

¹ Which shook us both pretty hard, as he wasn't even a year old. He was the nearest I had to a pet in a long time. He was fine one day, sick the next, and gone on the third (the morning we were going to take him to a vet).
² I feel weird saying 'owner.'

To return to a point in your life that you have already lived is metaphysical. Déjà vu, as most of us call it, feels mystical, even if it has a chemical explanation. Scientific evidence aside, to relive something that you have lived before is an experience that seems to connect us with something beyond ourselves. We can both be in the moment and be able to predict (or at least have the feeling that we are predicting) what is coming around the next corner.
Nestled in the Sierras at the base of Squaw Valley Lodge, Winter Wonder Grass opened its door for the first time on the West Coast to deliver a top notch line up of Bluegrass music. The previously only located in Colorado festival spread its wings to expand to another Grass loving area in Tahoe. Billed as a Beer and Music festival the bill, did not lie.

The United States hosted its first Winter Olympics in 1932. Lake Placid was the site for this first of only four visits the winter games have made to the states. Two of them have been in this cozy little village in the Northeast corner of New York. At the 1932 games, the U.S. Men's Hockey Team battled a far superior Canadian team for a hard earned silver medal under the extended indoor arch known as the Jack Shea Arena, the first indoor hockey facility used in the Olympics since 1920.
I'm searching for phrases to describe Phases of the Moon Music & Art Festival. It began as a dark side of the moon, but that was just a phase.

So many years after the disbandment of Grateful Dead that in turn relocated tens of thousands of devoted tour followers to various other acts and bigger life purposes, folks still crave that familiar feeling that kept them on tour. It didn't only come from the music that Garcia and the gang connected with so many people through, but the sense of community and thriving weirdness that expanded continuously over decades of different intersections.
No single thing makes a festival the "best festival ever." Sure, one great band can make it really good. Or maybe the campground scene was where it was at. But it's really when you group those moments with the ones of unbearable laughter, silly dancing, and inspirational people that a festival becomes the "best ever." And you know what? The Northwest String Summit consistently brings the best.
Leftover Salmon is excited to bring you a full weekend of music and more at The Stanley Hotel! Sam Bush will be joining LOS as a special guest on both Friday and Saturday.
