Ted Simons: Good evening, welcome to "Horizon." I'm Ted Simons. Before we can shape the future of Arizona, we have to decide what kind of Arizona we want. That's why the center for the future of Arizona commissioned a statewide Gallup poll of about 3600 residents. The center's chairman and CEO Lattie Coor is here to talk about how the results of the poll serve as a citizens' agenda. But first let's look at the survey release -- results released to community leaders last Friday at a breakfast meeting in Phoenix.
Sara Presler: What the Arizona we want report does is gives us that road map on how to get from there to here.
David Majure: Flagstaff mayor was part of a panel discussing how the Gallup Arizona poll will help us build the Arizona we want. Among the poll's broad findings, that Arizonans agree more than they disagree on a wide range of issues. That 36% of all Arizonans are attached and loyal to their communities. Citizens viewed the state's natural beauty and open spaces as its greatest asset. They are not satisfied with their elected leaders. Only 10% believe they represent their interests. Only 6% rate Arizona as very good for job opportunities. And only 11% say their community is a very good place for college graduates seeking a job.
Michael Crow: These individuals have unbelievable energy, unbelievable civic duty, commitment to community, commitment to success. They have certain views about the future.
David Majure: ASU president Michael crow says college students are disturbed by the world they're inheriting.
Michael Crow: It's like, you people that came before us, you've really soured the nest, and now they say, you know, please give us the broadest set of skills that we can possibly have so that we can fix what you have done. And it's -- we made -- the resentment levels are high, respect levels are low. Most of them, because of what Arizona represents as we saw in this poll, they want to stay. But they are disappointed by the civic discourse. Disappointed by the lack of leadership.
David Majure: The poll results are providing leadership. They were used to formulate an eight-point citizens' agenda, to create quality jobs for all Arizonans. Prepare Arizonans for the 21st century work force. Make Arizona the place to be for talented young people. Provide health insurance for all with payment assistance for those who need it. Protect Arizona's natural environment. Build a modern effective transportation system. Empower citizens and increase civic involvement. And foster citizen well-being and the sense of connection to one another.
Michael Crow: The most fantastic thing in this report is that this is not a bunch of results from a bunch of policy dweebs that have lined up and decided what they think Arizona should be. This is a legitimate, scientifically based sample of what Arizonans across every section, every sector, every ethnicity, every income level think Arizona can be.
Sara Presler: Good morning, my name is Sara Preslerr, the mayor for the city of Flagstaff. And I'm a policy dweeb. [LAUGHTER] But in all fairness, I'm very excited about this report for the Arizona that we want. Arizona has a strong tradition of being a wild spirit, and a streak of independence. And really communities that encompass energy and vitality, and value our families and our culture. It's important I think that we have this report, because what it does is it brings all of that energy, and all of that wildness and all of that independence together into a vision for our community.
Ron Shoopman: What we suffer from often is uncoordinated leadership, and that means we have to work better together. Not only uncoordinated leadership, but there are a couple other factors involved in leadership that aren't often brought up. First, we have to find a way to have civil discourse. If we don't do that, we're not going to come to the agreements we need. Second, we have to think about something called followership. There's another side to leadership, and there's a time for us as individuals to lead and there's a time to get in line between others and support them.
Sara Presler: It's very important that as Arizonans we're able to share our blueprints for success. And it's most important we flip those numbers. So instead of 10% believing in representative government, 90% believe in representative government and believe in their leaders. So it's an honor as mayor for the city of Flagstaff to be a part of this, but it's a greater honor for all of us to take this important data and use database decision making and not folk lore to make our decisions in the state of Arizona are.
Michael Crow: Don't listen to me. Don't listen to me. Don't care what I have to say. Take whatever I have to say back to zero. What I say doesn't make any difference. The people have spoken. If you don't want to line up with the people and you're a leader or a politician, get out of the way. [APPLAUSE]
Ted Simons: Joining me now to talk about the Arizona we want is Lattie Coor, chairman and CEO of the center for the future of Arizona. Good to have you back on the program.
Lattie Coor: Thank you. Good to be with you.
Ted Simons: Why do this study? What are you trying to accomplish with this?
Lattie Coor: It's kind of a classic management view of looking at an organization when an organization is out of kilter, you first of all define the problem as clearly as you can. Jim Collins said you confront the brutal facts. Secondly, go to your base. If you're a business, your base is your customers. The big three are kind of finding that out in the auto world right now. If you're a University, your base is your constituents -- parents, families, organizations that support you financially, the community. If you're a state, your base are the citizens. And that drove everything we did in this study. To say, what is it the citizens of Arizona really want? What are they aspiring to? What kind of Arizona do they want?
Ted Simons: And is that why instead of going to experts as so often think tanks or as you describe your group, a do tank tend to do, you're going to citizen, but would it not be wise as well to get those experts in there and get them going on problems maybe the citizenry can't see?
Lattie Coor: One of the things I think Gallup found most interesting about this project is that we did both. We took the Gallup poll that had been developed over years, first as a world poll, and then in 26 other cities around the United States funded by the Knight foundation. So we had a benchmark with which we could work. And they conducted that pool, that's the 3600 telephone votes that you mentioned earlier. But then we took five major issues that were the most dominant on the policy agenda that the experts and the activists and the lobbying groups and the interest groups had put on the table. Education, health care, job creation, infrastructure, and energy. And we asked as many of the 3600 respond tents to the telephone poll as we could to go out on to the web and take the web poll that chose among those issues. 831 did. So statistically valid, a very interesting subsample, and they in turn then gave us the chance to take how they felt about these issues and connect it with the larger kind of findings of the Gallup poll itself.
Ted Simons: Arizona's natural beauty. Everyone seems to love it, always have, looks like we always will. Public policy, leadership, not so pleased. Was that a surprise to you?
Lattie Coor: Neither were a surprise. The natural beauty and the beauty -- the connection people have to that, not a big surprise. But the depth of concern about leadership, about the economy, about basic Services that we have, the strength of that was a big surprise.
Ted Simons: And yet there seems to be a disconnect. I'm looking at this from a distance here, but I'm seeing people being elected over and over again and going to the state capitol, representing those who elected them, yet the survey seems to think no one likes anyone who has been elected.
Lattie Coor: If you look more deeply into the data it says take a look at your system. Is your system allowing the voice that we found -- this is a valid statistically complete voice of Arizonans. Does your system allow them to really be represented in a full way? If not, you better have a look at the system. In addition to the eight goals just listed, the data itself identified five major issues that need to be resolved, and the first of those was a government structure appropriate for Arizona's second century. So to look at it, how do you make it more representative, and leadership development, leadership selection. Not only an elected officials, but in general that can really help point the way to a successful future.
Ted Simons: Job creation, education, illegal immigration, these sorts competing globally among the issues mentioned in the report. They've been mentioned, people are responding, we know it's out there. What's next? Where do we go with this?
Lattie Coor: I think what we do now is say, here's a framework. It's very clear what citizens believe are the most important issues. And then there are specific things within those issues. Take education. They said two very clear things. First, make sure every graduate is either career ready, meaning fully certified for a career, or college ready. Fully eligible to enter college and succeed. And secondly, educate them to global standards. To national and international standards. Those are citizen voices asking that we take those steps. Well, then we set those in goals, and that's our plan, to now create a set of metrics, put them in the Arizona indicators project with the Morrison institute, have score cards as to how we're doing, and take each of these major goals as a picture of the Arizona we want and periodically report on how well we're doing toward accomplishing them. To do that, we need now to have organizations, current and new that would be created to align their agendas with these larger agendas. A strategic alliance.
Ted Simons: How do you get those alliances? How do you get them with civic and governmental leaders who often see these report and go, "that's a great idea" and never look back at it again?
Lattie Coor: It's kind of early to be overly enthusiastic. We just released this report last Friday. But already major leadership groups who have been part of the process, who were among our critical readers, almost 60 people read the early draft and made very substantial comments. Have already begun aligning their own agendas. We've seen major business leadership organizations already doing it. Others saying to us, how can we get in sync with this? How do we then start relating what our own commitment is to a coalition that has a larger goal? And what we've committed to do in the center is to create the "Arizona We Want" institute, our board at the center created it just two weeks ago to serve as the kind of quarterback of this endeavor, the keeper of the flame. Don't forget it, here it is. Here's how we measure it, here's how we go about trying collectively to work toward it and nurture those strategic alliances under each of the goals to accomplish it.
Ted Simons: Was there any thought to get out of the 501(c)3 territory and to start get can a little muscle behind it in terms of, if you don't do something, we will, we'll get it on the ballot ourselves? Is that something that you're just holding close to the vest right now?
Lattie Coor: We don't think we're the one that should do that or needs to do that. But we do know in order for this to happen, it has to get beyond the 501(c)3 organizations. The ones that can get out and actively pursue goals. There are a number of organizations that are already equipped to do that. There are others that have begun thinking about ways they organize with the kind of legal opportunity to make that happen. If these goals are embraced as actively as citizens have said they should be, and we believe they can be, that muscle is going to be there. You heard in the strip leading up to this today, Michael Crow saying, this is the voice. If you're not with it, get out of the way. That's in essence what we think this process can lead to.
Ted Simons: The online poll, people can still vote on that?
Lattie Coor: Absolutely. In fact, we invite every viewer tonight every Arizonan, to go on to our website, WWW.thearizonawewant.org, and take the poll. Take the very poll that is in this Gallup poll, and then you can assess your views against what your fellow citizens have said in this larger poll.
Ted Simons: Thank you so much for being here tonight. We appreciate it.
Lattie Coor: Thank you. My pleasure, Ted.

One cup of tea unites two cultures
December 6, 2012
CAMP SENDIA, JAPAN - Each morning my coffee cup is filled with water; two bags of Tazo Awake tea float along the top, and a dash of honey sinks to the bottom. After two minutes in the microwave, a sit on the kitchen counter for one more, and a quick stir, the temperature is perfect, and I smile with every sip. While tea is a drink Americans enjoy just about any time of the day, in other areas of the world, it has a storied history. The act of preparing and drinking this tea is a special time that holds special meaning and is woven into their culture, the thread that connects generations.
Members of the U.S. Army had the opportunity to experience just that during a tea ceremony hosted by Japanese Ground Self Defense Forces. The ceremony was a part of a series of cultural events for the soldiers visiting Camp Sendai for the Yama Sakura bilateral training exercise. I walked in to enjoy a cup of tea that morning, and I left cultured more than I would have thought.
Our instructor of the morning, Yoko Kono, and her guest, sat on their knees with perfect posture. The bamboo mats were pieced together below them, making a cushioned patchwork design on the stage where the scene was set. A red paper umbrella sat in the foreground and a calligraphy painting hung in the background. The symbols, hand painted on parchment paper each with specific meaning, were described for the group of Soldiers in attendance that morning.
Wa Kei Sei Jyaku it said, and its translation meant - harmony of people, feeling of respect, being pure and being calm.
"Keep this spirit in your mind and in your action," Kono said in a soft voice. Her smile was sweet, her eyes were bright and her movements were very gentle and purposeful as she demonstrated the preparing and presenting of green tea.
The ceremonial style preparation of powdered green tea is one that dates back to the ninth century where Zen Buddhist monks prepared and shared a cup during acts of worship. The tradition continues today at Japanese temples during celebratory events where everyone is welcome to attend.
We watched as Kono ground the tea leaves, wisked them with hot water into a green frothy liquid and served her guest, who waited patiently to Kono's right. The next order of events were very specific to follow tradition, the small sweet treat placed on a white napkin was eaten first; the design, shape and color of the small candy changes with the seasons of the year. Our treats were decorated with warm colors of fall that matched the vibrant leaves falling from the trees outside our windows.
We watched as large teacups were placed before us; a decorative flower design faced each guest and was to be turned 45-degrees before taking a sip. We lifted the cups with our left hands, turned it a quarter turn with our right hands and the wide cups engulfed our faces and we all took a sip. The tea was warm, frothy and a refreshing flavor that was unlike anything I've had from a tea bag found in the United States.
U.S. Army Sergeant Thai Bui, Yama Sakura exercise participant, mirrored my admiration for the new discovery and new flavor pairing.
"I've never tasted this flavor before," he said with a smile. "The combination of the bitter tea with the sweets just before. It was really good."
We turned our cups a half turn back before placing them down on the table before us, and we all felt the effect of the words painted in black ink on the calligraphy piece hanging behind Kono. I walked in to the tea ceremony out of curiosity, but walked out feeling refreshed, re-energized and cultured.

People tend to check in during these times:
Great morning views.
This Resort is Super Nice!our room is beautiful and we have an amazing balcony and view. Maybe they have remodeled it since the because I don't see how anyone could be disappointed in this place!
Definitely not a business hotel. Great views, mediocre hotel.
Great place to dock your boat & take a mini vacation!
Make sure you make it down for Charleston Race Week. Buy the All Inclusive Shore Pass for the parties at the resort each night!
Bring your own wine bottles down to The Reel Bar and they'll open them for you!
Jacuzzi is nice and warm! If it's too cold for the beach, you should 'chill' there!
Found garbage on balcony and q-tip floating in toilet upon check-in, which makes me wonder what else wasn't cleaned :-(
Rooms were charming -could use some updating however, staff was superb views amazing and rest of resort is awesome
The views alone are wonderful. Great to walk around. Good staff. Good rooms. Nice flat screens in rooms
Adventure over to DT Charleston for the Charleston Pub Crawl August 18. $2 SweetWater and $3 Vodka Red Bulls. Get your tickets at www.crawltheglobe.com
Ask for Scott in the Reel Bar! Love him!
Photo Tip: At one end of the marina is a ticket office for Patriots Point where you can get really great photos of the rear of the Yorktown and bow of the Laffey.
I have enjoyed our stay here (6/2012). Our room was perfect. My only complaint is the size of the pool; it is always packed!! The staff here is friendly and helpful. You won't regret being here!
I travel for business and normally stay in corporate hotels. I'm glad I find this place. Comfortable, great staff, wonderful rooms and attention to detail. I will definitely be back.
Great crab cakes
Party on the point.
Reel bar is real good :) Appletinis are awesome!!! Rooms are clean and the living social deal has been amazing. Came here for my 30th b-day!!! Worth every penny thank u staff for being wonderful
The hotel is clean, friendly staff, comfortable beds - we did the living social deal worth every penny! This is heaven!
Water-taxi service gets guests downtown in just 10 minutes and is way more fun than driving.
Overpriced, not really a "resort"... nice, but just a typical nicer than usual hotel. Deluxe rooms not worth the upgrade cost over standard room.
Hotel is lovely. Rooms decorated beautifully. View of Charleston Harbor is gorgeous. Flat screen TV in room.
Ordered room on priceline for 606 total. Got here and was charged 885 for a crap room! Not worth it!!!!
Try the hot tub after 6pm - no crowd
But the view is awesome and there is no other place like it in #CHS
Booked at last minute, so choices in Charleston were limited. It is an older place; updates are kitschy, but it's clean and comfortable. Pool area v nice. Resort fee is RIDICULOUS.
Great little hideaway bar. Over looks marina. Great views and great burgers. Staff really friendly
Friday nights is "rockin' on the point" live music.

text: Evaluation of the Partnership for Long-Term Care (PLTC) [California, Connecticut, Indiana, and New York]: Surveys of PLTC/non-PLTC Insurers, Purchasers/Nonpurchasers of PLTC Insurance, and Purchasers of non-PLTC Insurance, 1995-1996 McCall, Nelda grants health care costs health insurance insurance coverage long term care long term care insurance personal finances programs These surveys were conducted to evaluate the Partnership for Long-Term Care (PLTC), a project in which the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded grants to four states -- California, Connecticut, Indiana, and New York -- to work with private insurers to create long-term care insurance policies that were more affordable and provided better protection against impoverishment than those generally available. PLTC policies combine private long-term care insurance with special Medicaid eligibility standards that protect assets of the insured once private insurance benefits are exhausted. Four parts constitute this collection. Parts 1 and 2 consist of data from a survey of PLTC insurers and of non-PLTC insurers, respectively. Both of these surveys gathered information on marketing methods, underwriting procedures, case management, sales, views on the PLTC, and reasons for participating or not participating in the PLTC. Part 3 comprises data from a survey of purchasers and nonpurchasers of PLTC policies, which included questions about health status, insurance coverage, opinions on long-term care insurance, financial planning for long-term care, income, assets, and demographic and social characteristics, such as sex, date of birth, education, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, household size, number of living children, and employment. Part 4 contains data from a survey of Californians who purchased non-PLTC long-term care insurance before and after the implementation of the PLTC in California. This survey covered the same topics as the survey of purchasers/nonpurchasers of PLTC insurance. 2466 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02466.v1 04-23-2008 survey data telephone survey and self-enumerated questionnaires California Connecticut Indiana New York (state) United States 1995--1996

My front wheel bearing just failed after only 8 months of riding. Is this to be expected? The bike lives outdoors and is used every day, but it seemed a little premature nonetheless.
I've since become paranoid about putting weight on my handlebars. Is this ridiculous? I don't know how the mechanics works. It failed just two rides after I started riding with a much higher saddle. Just coincidence?
Thanks in advance.

Palo Alto, California-based VMware offers virtualization solutions that help to lower IT costs, increase infrastructure flexibility through data center consolidation, remote virtualized desktop provisioning and management.
Moreover, shares are down 16 percent, making it more attractive for investors to add positions in the stock. Though, the stock appears pricey at 33.5 times on its price to earnings, it warrants such premium due to its strong fundamentals.
[Related -VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW): Set To Become The Biggest Beneficiary Of Hybrid Cloud]
In 2011, the company has delivered 44 percent growth in earnings per share on 32 percent rise in revenue. For 2012, the company is expected to deliver 22 percent and 24 percent growth in earnings per share and revenue, respectively.
Given the strong adoption of virtualization and cloud computing, near-term catalysts are renewals of enterprise licensing agreements (ELAs), adoption of management solutions and growth in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
VMware's ELA contracts typically renew in three-year cycles. For 2012, ELA renewal base contracts were signed in 2009, a weak year due to tumultuous market conditions.
"Given the cross selling opportunity, security and storage solutions should provide a boost to fiscal 2012 license revenue," Oppenheimer analyst Shaul Eyal wrote in a note to clients.
[Related -Amazon.Com, Inc. (AMZN): Workspaces Negative For Citrix Systems, Inc., Vmware, Inc.]
Meanwhile, the company grew its management software business 43.6 percent from last year, according to market research firm IDC. These solutions are the fastest growing product segment at the company, and it has mentioned the high attach rates these solutions have with ELA renewals.
According to IDC, VMware has about 20 percent share in the VDI market, with key verticals in health care and the public sector. VMW has invested many resources enhancing the end user experience, and with its latest VDI solution, it is expected to gain ground in the desktop virtualization market.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, VMware earned $191.4 million or 44 cents per share, higher than $125.8 million or 29 cents per share for the year-ago quarter. Excluding items, it earned $287.3 million or 66 cents per share, topping Wall Street consensus estimate of 60 cents per share.
Total revenue for the first quarter rose 25 percent to $1.06 billion, while analysts had a consensus revenue estimate of $1.03 billion for the first quarter. License revenues advanced 15 percent to $482 million, while service revenues surged 35 percent to $573 million.
The company sees second quarter revenue of $1.10 billion to $1.12 billion. Analysts currently expect the company to post revenue of $1.12 billion for the second quarter.

The I Hate to Cook Book (Hardcover)
"There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who don't cook out of and have NEVER cooked out of THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK, and the other kind...The I HATE TO COOK people consist mainly of those who find other things more interesting and less fattening, and so they do it as seldom as possible. Today there is an Annual Culinary Olympics, with hundreds of cooks from many countries ardently competing. But we who hate to cook have had our own Olympics for years, seeing who can get out of the kitchen the fastest and stay out the longest."
- Peg Bracken
Philosopher's Chowder. Skinny Meatloaf. Fat Man's Shrimp. Immediate Fudge Cake. These are just a few of the beloved recipes from Peg Bracken's classic I HATE TO COOK BOOK. Written in a time when women were expected to have full, delicious meals on the table for their families every night, Peg Bracken offered women who didn't revel in this obligation an alternative: quick, simple meals that took minimal effort but would still satisfy.
50 years later, times have certainly changed - but the appeal of THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK hasn't.
This book is for everyone, men and women alike, who wants to get from cooking hour to cocktail hour in as little time as possible.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $2.00 strike price has a current bid of 30 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of NBG stock at the current price level of $1.67/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $2.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return of 37.72% if the stock gets called away at the July expiration (before broker commissions). If course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if NBG shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for National Bank Of Greece S A, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing NBG's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $2.00 strike highlighted in red:

Kamaly thanks for sharing the links. Surely they will add new dimensions to my understanding. However on quick glance I didn't see too emphasis mention on gender based differences on the studies. I think it has a lot of merit. For example; consider a man has enough brain injury to that causes loss of speech, for the same amount of brain damage in the same area in a female brain does not cause any speech loss. To my understanding female brain is very talented on getting rewired.
Andrew, since I am not medical person, I think understanding healthy brain is more valuable to me at first than learning more about the malfunctioning brains. I just recently started learning about this and am still getting fascinated about the new things I been learning. Of course study on separated brains help understand function of each but I am not sure if concept of superposition is applicable to mental structures. Like 1/2 of brain + 1/2 of brain is not equal to complete brain.
Kamaly, yes I hope someday we race for same pictures again :)
Thanks Kamaly for helping me out on this one.
To Volkan I would say that scientific understanding does not progress by having a range of narrow disciplines all working in isolation from their nearest neighbor. Therefore, research being conducted into brain malfunction can often be used to help researchers better understand how the healthy brain works as well. It's a bit like saying that stress analysis of steal beams that are used in deep mining structures can be useful in the design applications for steel beams in tall buildings as well - to demonstrate a point.
Andrew as an individual I think I am very multidisciplinary thinking person. Therefore I do not disagree with what you're saying. I very much think think spliting live brains and observing the consequences would be valuable scientific information to scientists but whatever gained could not penetrated in to public level as much as it should. Because everybody will consider it wasn't a normal brain to begin with. This is why as a person I very much value the findings on the normal healthy brains and fascinated from the gender based results which I have already mentioned.
As individuals we can contribute to this study without spliting our brains-just kidding:)- just by stating agreement or disagreement these findings through our own experiences in life. For example on a large dinner table at one point I asked for butter from the far part of the table. This all sounds OK. However my friends pointed "what is wrong with this one" which was within very close proximity of me. And I sad "I am sorry I didn't realize there was one here". Thankfully the friends already knew the fact that we man has tunnel vision according to book. while ladies can have very well awareness about everything within their optical range. They said "typical man" and we all laughed...
Behind this there is the same reason the 30% less connection in male brain. The book also states that because of our tunnel vision, we have to stare in order to see. Therefore we very often get caught while we are looking at females. Even though female in general look at the man more than man look at them, they don't get caught because they don't have to stare. To me bottom line of this is; a look from lady to a man is most likely not a random occurance and therefore needs to be processed accordingly . May be you folks passed this gained this in life but I am just getting aware these facts and getting fascinated :) Cheers
Wow! You guys started a real scientific forum! I'm glad you joined us Andrew, Endeed this is a great bunch of people I got to know here on Panoramio.
Although I don't have much time to answer, I've been following your scientific conversation with much interest.
I had already known about such experiences of brain splitting as treatments of severe epileptic disorder. I think it was on the discovery chanel, in that episode they described a very interesting condition observed on some brain-splited pacients wich is the strange-hand syndrome.
Because the conscious part of the pacient stays focused on one of the brain lobes, the hand controled by the other lobe sometimes gains what seems to be (to the pacient) a self awareness, and actually moves without the pacient ordering or even controling it. Cases were observed in wich the hand even turned agressive twards the pacient himself. Thats something that makes us think... ;)
I have a question for you guys. a philosofical one.
If any one of you is religious (I am not) what do you think that happens to the soul of a splitted-brain person? since we always think of the soul as being our own awareness and given the fact that the pacients's brains act as two diferent minds without relation between them. What happens to the soul? Becomes two souls? One devided soul? The soul reduces itself to only one lobe of the brain?
I'm sorry guys, but I had to introduce a philosofical point of view to your magnificent and interesting scientific forum. ;))
Interesting... I've only now noticed that I'm talking to the person who has posted the 98th response in that topic...
Talking about a small world...
On the topic of the quantity and quality of the images submitted to GE I think Vasco has got it summed up. It's an unidentified parcel going "tick tick tick tick..."
For a possible way forward on this score we could try looking into the minds of the Google executive and the company shareholders. I think there could be a few interhemispherical connections made there which will blow a few fuses inside the brains of a many of our more fevered Panoramio users.
Kamaly, book also states that we can accurately estimate motion of distant objects [first we have to see it of course :)]. May be we are wired to pay attention the moving objects which would make us man better hunter. In that case it is normal that we don't see butter unless it's moving :)
I agree even though question seems logical, I think soul doesn't need existence of fully functional brain.
I have feeling that avoiding such female attacks conducted with butter made us man sharpen our skills for motion estimation during the process of evolution. Imagine the scale of injury from chunk of butter thrown by a female during an ice age :)
However due to limited number of neurons available for visual task in male brain, we perhaps paid the price for having such motion estimation skills with loss of the peripheral vision :)
The loss of peripheral vision is a telling revelation. It all just goes to prove conclusively that early man in almost all cases had to get by with just one wife. Perhaps a case could be also be mounted to support the theory that why men have 2 eyes is not primarily for the purpose of facilitating stereoscopic vision. Obviously men born with just one eye in the middle of their foreheads would be at a distinct evolutionary disadvantage after that eye got taken out from a sharp missile thrown by an irate spouse.
congratulations to the Alien - you're now in Google Earth! I guess it's because a human wasn't the object of the photo! ;)
Yes Bits-n-Pieces, it is so nice that the GE is Alien friendly.
Have you figured out why earthling man don't listen yet? ;D Cheers, Volkan
Perhaps because they're busy protecting their eyes from the women?
Yes, most likely :D
Referring to my December 10th long message, I think I can add this:
Imagine this classical scenario; in a forest that male and female member has to spend the night together within the existence of all other inhabitants. As they sleep in their comfortable temporary nest, a small harmless animal moves on their bodies. As expected female member reacts suddenly and screams. Yet male member tries to calm her down. But it is too late, hungry raptors looking for food are on their way toward them. Can highly reactive female brain with excellent sensory abilities save them? or the strategical thinking male brain with less sensory abilities but posses the prior experience with the aproaching danger...
As guessed; most likely member with the male brain saves them. Therefore %30 of female brain being wired solely for "long term relation with male wired brain" is not just a preference but their survival depends on it.
Now next question is why very responsive female brain exists? My answer which I will talk about it later, has something to do with location of the consumption entrance which is right next to most important sensory organs nearly all animals posses...
I'm not sure of the answer Volkan.
Does it have anything to do with rolling pins, hair curlers, slippers and waiting up until the wee small hours until he gets home?

Two of AOPA Pilot's most popular features--"Never Again" and "Safety Pilot Landmark Accidents"--are being turned into e-books.
Two of AOPA Pilot's most popular features—"Never Again" and "Safety Pilot Landmark Accidents"—are being turned into e-books.
The first two features being turned into e-books are The Best of 'Never Again,' Vol. 1 and The Best of 'Safety Pilot Landmark Accidents,' Vol. 1.
One constant through every one of the 660 issues of AOPA Pilot published since 1958 has been the monthly "Never Again" column, said AOPA Pilot Editor in Chief Tom Haines . "The stars of this show are not well-known authoritative aviation experts," he said. "The education, training, and entertainment from these pages is crafted by AOPA members who have courageously decided to share their experiences with the membership at large so we can all learn from their experiences.
The "Landmark Accidents" series dissects notable accidents to uncover what went wrong and what pilots can learn as a result. The articles cover much of what can go wrong from a pilot's perspective, said AOPA Foundation President Bruce Landsberg. "Dive in wherever you like—each accident has points to ponder," he noted. "Aviation lets us see and do things that most other people never get to experience. Just remember that safe is never the equivalent of risk free. Manage that risk intelligently and you'll fly for a long time in great safety."
"Our members enjoy reading regular magazine features like 'Never Again' or 'Landmark Accidents,' so we decided to make them more available by compiling them in an e-book," said Haines. "We look forward to offering even more of the best features in AOPA Pilot as e-books."
The e-books are available for download from the "shop.aopa.org" online store. When purchased through the AOPA online store, members who are logged in can purchase the book at a special introductory price of $7.99. Nonmembers, or anyone purchasing the e-books through outside vendors such as Amazon or iBooks, will pay $9.99. AOPA's e-books can be viewed on popular e-readers including the Kindle and Nook, as well as tablets like the iPad and various Android devices. With special software, they can also be viewed on PCs and laptops.

AOPA Foundation supporter Bennett Dorrance has issued a challenge to supporters to match his $60,000 contribution to the foundation dollar for dollar by the end of 2012.
Promoting safety, growing the pilot population, protecting airports, and supporting general aviation's benefits to the community are some of the important goals made possible by programs funded by the AOPA Foundation.
Now, tax-deductible contributions that support those worthwhile programs can go much further, thanks to a matching grant offered by a long-time supporter of the AOPA Foundation.
As a statement of his passion for aviation, and to motivate other pilots to help keep general aviation strong, AOPA Foundation supporter Bennett Dorrance is offering a $60,000 matching grant, challenging the foundation's supporters to match his contribution dollar for dollar by the end of 2012.
That challenge gives all supporters of the AOPA Foundation's programs the opportunity to double the impact of their own generosity.
"This is too good an opportunity to lose," said AOPA Foundation President Bruce Landsberg in a letter to supporters.
Landsberg added that the challenge grant provides an "unsurpassed opportunity for each of us to advance a great cause—protecting our freedom to fly."
Pilots can make a donation now.

You'll no longer receive renewal notices - a benefit for you, your association, and the environment! We will reinvest those savings into new and enhanced member services for you. We will continue to preserve your freedom to fly, building on our past success defending against user fees, GA tax increases, and threats to local airports. We will also expand our new FlyQ suite of digital flight planning tools. Additionally, AOPA is launching the Center to Advance the Pilot Community to help increase the pilot population and secure the future of general aviation.
Enroll today to reduce the clutter in your mailbox and save costs for AOPA.
One of the great advances in general aviation over the past decade has been the widespread availability of in-cockpit weather. The ability to see exactly where the weather is—rather than having to rely entirely on your eyes and ATC guidance—is a major step forward, and a real confidence booster.
The problem is, sometimes it leads to overconfidence.
In the latest installment in our Accident Case Studies series, we take an in-depth look at a 2011 crash that dramatically highlights an often-overlooked limitation of datalink radar. If you use Nexrad to navigate around convective activity, this is one video you shouldn't miss.
Take this course.

Many people are surprised at how costly a medical emergency can be, especially out of the country. That's why programs such as AOPA Emergency Assistance Plus (EA+) are so vitally important.
As Americans travel abroad in record numbers, some companies are offering "medical repatriation" services to bring sick travelers home safely and more affordably. But many people are surprised at how costly a medical emergency can be, especially out of the country. That's why programs such as AOPA Emergency Assistance Plus (EA+) are so vitally important.
Recently, EA+ was notified that a woman was hospitalized in Mexico for gastrointestinal bleeding. As this was a very serious diagnosis and one that the attending physicians were not qualified to handle, EA+'s assistance coordinators and the EA+ medical director began working with the hospital to gather all of the necessary medical information for the member. The assistance coordinators began planning an air ambulance to transfer her to a more appropriate facility for immediate treatment of her condition.
EA+ transferred the patient to California via air ambulance just 10 hours after her initial hospitalization. The patient was treated for her illness and EA+ flew the patient and her husband home to Arizona. The covered cost for this was $14,508, and the cost of an EA+ individual plan starts at as little as $89 a year. For more information on how you can join AOPA EA+ visit us online.

AOPA member Alberto Guerrero described himself as "desperate" when he called AOPA with a problem: He had forgotten to sign and return the policy form for his non-owned insurance, and feared his flying club wouldn't let him fly. Within 20 seconds, AOPA staffer Jo Cox had put him at ease.
AOPA member Alberto Guerrero purchased non-owned insurance from AOPA along with the instructions to sign the policy form and return it to AOPA within 15 days.
"I screwed up and forgot to do that, and I was afraid my flying club would restrict my ability to fly—a fate worse than death," Guerrero said.
He described himself as "desperate" when he called AOPA, but was put at ease within 20 seconds. AOPA staffer Jo Cox gave Guerrero the option of scanning a signed form and emailing it back to her directly with no penalty or problem. He said, "I was so relieved to get someone on the phone who had a solution to my problem and cared to make my life a little easier."
That should have resolved the problem, but it didn't.
Like many members with very busy lives, Guerrero realized he couldn't find the original form and looked everywhere in his house for it. "It was just gone," he said. "I embarrassingly emailed Jo asking her to mail me another copy as soon as possible, but she did one better."
Within minutes, Guerrero was emailed a filled-out form ready to sign. "Now that's what I call customer service!" he said, adding, "Thank you for taking such good care of this occasionally absent-minded pilot."

AOPA member Peter Dekker used his AOPA WorldPoints MasterCard card to buy wood pellets for his home's stove and ended up finding a partner for the Piper Archer II he flies with his wife.
AOPA Member Peter Dekker
Peter Dekker, AOPA member since 2008, always wanted to learn to fly, but it wasn't until his retirement four years ago that he had the time to devote to the process. Having earned his private pilot certificate, he soon bought a quarter share in a Piper Archer II, which he and his wife use for pleasure trips from their home base in Rindge, N.H., to varied destinations like Gettysburg, Pa., and Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine.
When Dekker was in need of a new credit card, he thought he might as well apply for AOPA's MasterCard so his purchases could help support AOPA's advocacy efforts. He knew, as well, that he could rapidly accumulate points—a task he actively pursues. In fact, he recently earned double points by paying for the airplane's $4,000 annual inspection with the card.
When using his AOPA MasterCard, Dekker had noticed that merchants sometimes comment on it, most frequently thinking it's a credit card to earn frequent flyer miles. But one day, Dekker used his card to buy wood pellets for his home's stove at the Heart Line Stove Shop in Jaffrey, N.H. Unbeknownst to Dekker, Dave Miller, part of the family-owned business, is also a pilot, and he and Dekker ended up talking about flying for two hours. "At the time, I was thinking it was good Dave is one of the family—had he been just an employee, he probably would have been in trouble for talking with me for as long as we did," said Dekker.
When one of the partners decided to sell his share, Dekker remembered his conversation with Miller, who had expressed interest in the airplane. When Miller was approached, he said yes, and after a quick sale, Dekker and Miller share ownership of the Archer II, all because the AOPA MasterCard identified Dekker as a pilot.
Dekker and his wife fly about 100 hours a year and use their AOPA MasterCard to accumulate points which they can put to use for trips, merchandise, or cash. You never know what other bonuses this card can provide, identifying you as a pilot each time you use it.
The AOPA Insurance Agency has a specialized insurance program to protect active CFIs.
Flight instructors are a valuable and critical resource to the future of general aviation. As such AOPA wants to protect them. If you are an active CFI, the AOPA Insurance Agency has a specialized insurance program that will do just that. Whether a loss occurs at the time you are instructing in someone else's aircraft or afterward, such as being named in a lawsuit for instruction previously given, AOPA can help protect you with a practical level of insurance coverage.
Multiple coverage options allow you to best control the cost of your policy premium as well as meet your specific needs for the types of aircraft you are instructing in. Most importantly, defense costs are in addition to any coverage limit you choose, which often can be a much larger expense than the bent metal involved in an accident or incident.
Spend a few minutes visiting the website to review coverage options and obtain a quick quote. Or simply call AOPA's helpful and knowledgeable aviation insurance team in Wichita at 800/622-AOPA (2672) to discuss your needs and get answers to your questions. Protecting members is AOPA's top priority.

Typical of AOPA Aviation Roundtables, a group of pilots from western states quickly found common ground and friendship as they met in Oregon's famed Willamette Valley for networking and to hear briefings on the state of aviation. The AOPA supporters and guests homed in on Newberg, Ore., for the weekend event in the shadow of the sprawling Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville.
Garmin's Wayne McGhee kicked off the event with a briefing on NextGen and ADS-B, reminding pilots that while seemingly a long ways away, the FAA's Jan. 1, 2020, deadline for installing ADS-B Out equipment is fast approaching—especially given the limited capacity of avionics shops to install the gear. McGhee is Garmin's Northwest regional sales manager out of the Salem, Ore., office, which develops much of the company's ADS-B technology. Garmin recently introduced several ADS-B-related products, including the GDL-39 portable system and the GDL-88 installed ADS-B transceiver.
AOPA Senior Vice President of the Center to Advance the Pilot Community Adam Smith briefs AOPA supporters on the association's efforts to boost the pilot population.
AOPA President Craig Fuller later shared some of the association's strategies to impact the declining pilot population, such as the Flight Training Initiative, designed to decrease the number of student pilots who drop out of training. Among the association's significant investments toward that project is the creation of the Center to Advance the Pilot Community. The center's new senior vice president, Adam Smith, briefed the group on plans to assist flight schools and CFIs in being more effective in retaining students. Among the projects is the introduction of a series of field guides that will also help students set expectations for the training experience. In addition, Smith discussed ways to keep current pilots involved in aviation, especially through flying clubs. As it did with flight schools in 2010 and 2011, AOPA through research and interviews with successful clubs is introducing an outline of how clubs can be successful in lowering the cost of aviation for many pilots.
Chuck Wallace, a consultant to AOPA, outlined numerous other strategic investments being planned that will attempt to lower costs and increase engagement for pilots.
AOPA Senior Vice President of Media Tom Haines highlighted the organization's newest media channel, AOPA Live This Week, a weekly video aviation news magazine. Posted every Thursday, the show covers the gamut from aviation news to video features and travel destinations. The show's Roku channel launched earlier this month.

While in the region, the AOPA team visited Van's Aircraft, the largest manufacturer of kit airplanes. The company's RV line of products is the most popular in the world. Founder Richard VanGrunsven led the team on a factory tour and took time to describe his latest model, the RV-14. VansGrunsven is the president of the newly formed Aircraft Kit Industry Association, a group of kit manufacturing companies and suppliers. VansGrunsven briefed the AOPA team on the group's evolving goals of improving safety among Experimental aircraft and simplifying regulations around FAA sign offs of such airplanes.
The Aviation Roundtables are open to AOPA President's Council donors and Hat in the Ring Society members. The roundtables are held numerous times throughout the year at a variety of locations around the country.
AOPA Member Alberto Guerrero purchased renter's insurance from AOPA along with the instructions to sign the policy form and return it to AOPA within 15 days. Guerrero says, "I screwed up and forgot to do that, and I was afraid my flying club would restrict my ability to fly – a fate worse than death."
He describes himself as "desperate" when he called AOPA, but was put at ease within 20 seconds. AOPA Staffer Jo Cox gave Guerrero the option of scanning a signed form and emailing it back to her directly with no penalty or problem. He says, "I was so relieved to get someone on the phone who had a solution to my problem and cared to make my life a little easier."
Like many members with very busy lives, Guerrero realized he couldn't find the original form and looked everywhere in his house for it. "It was just gone," he says. "I embarrassingly emailed Jo asking her to mail me another copy as soon as possible, but she did one better."
Within minutes, Guerrero was emailed a filled-out form ready to sign. He says, "Now that's what I call customer service!" He adds, "Thank you for taking such good care of this occasionally absent-minded pilot."

EA+ and AOPA are so sure that this program is beneficial to you that you can apply for the program at no risk.

With hurricane season under way, AOPA members who live and/or plan to travel in hurricane-prone areas should have a plan to relocate their aircraft in the event of a storm.
With hurricane season under way, AOPA members who live and/or plan to travel in hurricane-prone areas should have a plan to relocate their aircraft in the event of a storm.
While developing your plan, check your insurance policy to see if it covers any costs for relocating your aircraft. Some policies cover the cost of hiring an evacuation pilot, and relocating and storing an aircraft. Other policies will reimburse policy holders for relocating their aircraft outside of a hurricane watch or warning area.
In the event that you are faced with relocation, AOPA Insurance Services offers the following tips to make the process go more smoothly.

AOPA has entered into a strategic partnership with St. Louis-based Enterprise Holdings, the most comprehensive service provider and only investment-grade company in the U.S. car rental industry. Enterprise Holdings operates the flagship Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand, as well as National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands.
As a strategic partner in AOPA's new Corporate Partnership Program, the Enterprise, National, and Alamo brands will show support for the association all year round through sponsorship and engagement activities that will benefit AOPA members while also providing them with special rental car offers and discounts.
"We're excited to partner with Enterprise Holdings and its outstanding brands," said Ed Thompson, AOPA vice president of corporate partnerships and products. "They cover the wide spectrum of travel support that GA pilots need in both their personal and professional lives, including dropping off cars or picking up customers at destinations where there is no car rental counter in sight."
The partnership between AOPA and Enterprise is a natural fit, since founder Jack Taylor served as a decorated Navy fighter pilot during World War II. As a result of that experience, he named his family-owned business after the USS Enterprise, one of the aircraft carriers upon which he had served.
"In the same way that AOPA members are passionate about flying, we are passionate about providing them with the highest level of customer service and value in our industry," says Steve Short, vice president of leisure business development for Enterprise Holdings. "We look forward to utilizing our three brands to serve members, whether they fly at general aviation or commercial airports."
Enterprise's worldwide network includes more than 7,800 neighborhood and airport locations, with 6,000 offices located within 15 miles of 90 percent of the U.S. population—and more than twice as many locations as Enterprise Holdings' nearest U.S. competitor.
While many members have previously taken advantage of great offers and service from Enterprise and Alamo through AOPA's Car Rental Discount Program, National is new to the mix of preferred brands.
"National's Emerald Club is ideal for the frequent traveler with their counter bypass process, Drop & GoSM service, and convenient e-receipts," Thompson said. "And all three brands deliver the type of award-winning service that our members deserve."
In 2011, Executive Travel magazine recognized National as the top rental car service in the travel industry, honoring the brand with its Leading Edge Awards. In addition, the SmarterTravel Editors Choice Award went to Emerald Club in 2010 and 2011 as the Best Rental Car Loyalty Program.
As a result of this new partnership, Avis and Hertz are no longer affiliated with the AOPA Car Rental Discount Program.
