AUBURN, Ga. (WXIA) -- After a weekend spent roaming around Barrow County, baby water buffalo "Precious 8" is now back home on the range with her new owners.
A day after the Wilderness Farm in Auburn acquired the buffalo calf, she hurdled a four foot gate after being spooked by a storm. Her owners tracked her all over the county, with help from dozens of neighbors and even the Sheriff's office.
"There was probably about 30 to 40 people helping out and the Good Lord because he had to answer the prayers," said farm manager Charlotte Cates.
Finally they were able to capture Precious 8 early Monday morning. But only after the 400 pound calf traveled over 5 miles and crossed a highway several times. Usually she would train the buffalo to send it to a petting zoo.
But after their ordeal and happy reunion, the plans may change, especially now that Precious 8's initial skittishness seems to have passed.
"Now she's real comfortable with humans and so that's a great sign, she's so friendly now," said farm owner Michele Atkins. "We've had a lot of time with her and I've grown to like her."

Husband and I loved it and would even make it for company sometime. I did add about a teaspoon of honey and it still had some kick. For picky eaters I would substitute 1/4 to 1/2 of the mustard with honey.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Long lines, thousands of people in the state going hungry - all because of a computer glitch with the state's new computer system called NC FAST.
2 Wants To Know uncovered information about the track record of the company hired to start the program, Accenture. It turns out other states gave the company negative reviews.
Fly back in time to a 2007 Wisconsin legislative hearing on a failed voter registration system.
"Accenture can't program it's way out of a paper bag," said Beverly Speer of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
That was three years before North Carolina hired Accenture - a technology and management consulting firm.
Across the country negative remarks pop up from Colorado to New York - even from the Canadian government. Others said the company was over-budget, delivering failed products and even receiving kickbacks and rigging bids.
Coming up Tuesday night on WFMY News 2 at 11, find out what other complaints there were, what North Carolina thought of the company before hiring them and what Accenture says about the bad reviews.

What are the other directions to take, when looking for interesting infinite-dimensional manifolds, (besides the one Michor/Kriegel outline in their book). And has a canonical choice begun to establish itself yet?

Airport's landmark Lindbergh mural is grounded
Should the mural go back up?
Yes 90% (637)
No 10% (67)
704 total votes.
To read previous columns, go to utsandiego.com/staff/matthew-hall
How many of you can actually count the number of times you've driven to and from the San Diego International Airport and seen that iconic image of Charles Lindbergh?
I certainly can't. And now none of us can.
On Wednesday, for the first time in 15 years, motorists passing or pulling into the commuter terminal along North Harbor Drive won't look upon Lindbergh's likeness. It's gone, like an airplane after takeoff, removed to accommodate building maintenance. Only a dark blue shadow remains where two dozen aluminum panels were attached; that twilight hue is the color of the mural's background before it faded to pale blue.
Whether the panels were removed for good remains to be seen. Whether the panels were removed for better or for worse may depend on your view of the real Lindbergh.
Some people call him an anti-Semite and even a Nazi sympathizer for his arguments against intervention in World War II, but most people hail him as an American hero. He made the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris in 1927 in the Spirit of St. Louis, a plane built in San Diego.
Airport officials don't know how long it will take them to power wash, repair and paint the building's crumbling exterior, and they won't say if the Lindbergh mural will be replaced or even see the light of day again.
I expect San Diegans won't be shy about how the second-most famous Lindbergh disappearance makes them feel. Aghast? Angry? Nonplussed?
Beyond surprised at having it vanish, I don't know how to feel myself. So I'm not sure how San Diego will react.
This much I do know: It saddens the artists. It's just that 65-year-old John Whalen is more matter-of-fact about the mothballing than his 60-year-old wife, Jeanne.
"Nothing lasts forever," John Whalen told me Tuesday. "I was happy to have the opportunity to have a hit while it was up there. Hopefully at some point down the road here, after the new airport's been all put back together and they've got all the bells and whistles and everybody's standing with their chests puffed out, they'll think, 'Wow, there's a good wall for that old Lindbergh mural that we had,' and they'll put it up somewhere."
His wife added: "We're kind of interested in whether the community is ready to have it disappear. We're hoping it will go back up."
The couple made the roughly 40-foot tall Lindbergh mural out of an aluminum product called dibond and painted it with an acrylic paint that has retained its color well. As the painting assistant, Jeanne Whalen painted most of the body and flight suit. Her husband did the rest. They named it "Lucky/Spirit."
While the image is one of San Diego's most recognizable landmarks, only the most observant among us would know that the larger-than-life Lindbergh mural lacked feet. And only the Whalens and their confidants could say whose arm was really held aloft for imitation during the making of the mural. (Their son's.) Or whose hand held the model Spirit of St. Louis that John Whalen re-created in 1997. (Jeanne Whalen's.)
Beside family, I wondered, what was Whalen's inspiration for the piece?
His reply was direct but held many words, as if each was a passenger flying toward something. His inspiration? Inspiration itself.
"When (Lindbergh) was a kid, he probably had thoughts of model planes and how it would be fun to fly for a living," Whalen said. "When I was a kid, my total ambition in life was to become an Indian and to live in the woods and to shoot deer with my bow and arrow. And so from the time I was maybe 6 years old to about the time I was maybe 10 years old, I did nothing but drawings of Indians. ... My mom finally told me, 'You can't be an Indian. You have to be born an Indian.'

The long goodbye
The sixth anniversary of war in Iraq marks the first month of the beginning of the end. Are Iraqis ready to keep the peace when Americans quit the war?
"The long goodbye" Continued...
Type "counterinsurgency failure" into a popular search engine, and you will find papers on the great British counter-insurgency failure of 1776, the Russian failure in Chechnya, and American failures in Greece, the Philippines, and-naturally-Vietnam. You will find some ad hoc opinion pieces on counterinsurgency failure in Iraq, but you will search in vain to find a research paper suggesting that the surge in Iraq, which formally began in 2007, has failed.
That's because the facts on the ground suggest the opposite.
And that, even more than momentum from last November's polls, is the reason that President Barack Obama was able to stand before thousands of Marines at Camp LeJeune on Feb. 28 and declare: "By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end."
Obama told a subdued audience of combat-fatigue-clad marines that he consulted with the secretary of defense, the joint chiefs, and commanders in Iraq before deciding to conclude a drawdown of U.S. combat forces in the next 18 months, two months longer than the 16 months he pledged on the campaign trail. He said he plans to keep in place a residual force of up to 50,000 through 2011 in a plan for what he called "the responsible removal of our combat brigades from Iraq."
The president's withdrawal plan leaves virtually untouched through 2009 approximately 140,000 U.S. troops-that means through the upcoming March 20 anniversary of the U.S. invasion six years ago, and through nationwide parliamentary elections scheduled for December.
Despite the progress and new U.S. operational strategy, popular criticism lingers that the success of the surge is only skin deep.
"The surge worked militarily. It failed politically," is the conclusion of Washington Post journalist Thomas E. Ricks and others. Ricks authored the 2006 book Fiasco and 2009's The Gamble.
That kind of pronouncement feeds a low-grade dread that Iraq will devolve into violent chaos once all but the U.S. residual force remains, recalling scenes from Somalia 1993 with U.S. forces battling urban warlords. And lack of political progress needles at a more pressing worry: that getting the job done in Afghanistan will prove impossible, too.
But international law experts and a look at three critical areas affecting Iraq's political and judicial makeup suggest that isn't the full story. After all, the rule of law arguably began in ancient Babylon under Hammurabi, whose code of legal requirements was one of the first written in the world. That's why the Babylonian king, ca. 1770 B.C., is depicted as one of 23 lawgivers in bas-relief above chamber doors of the U.S. House of Representatives and on the south frieze of the U.S. Supreme Court building-so widely is he credited with the concept that no one is above the law.
Iraqis like to claim the Hammurabi tradition, discovered Vanderbilt law professor Michael A. Newton while advising Iraqi jurists and training judges to serve on the Iraq High Tribunal: "The jurists would say they want to restore the real Iraq because Hammurabi was an Iraqi." When it comes to "rule of law" matters, progress has been less examined but is no less defined, Newton and others argue, verging even on success in key areas.
One area of progress is the treatment of Iraqi detainees. Little noted in the military surge is that the number of Iraqi and foreign insurgents captured outnumbered those killed: About 25,000 suspected Iraqi militants were in U.S. custody just over a year ago. By the end of this year most will be transferred to Iraqi custody or released.
Military commanders have in the last 18 months clarified the mission of detention, in contrast to the confusion and muddled chains of command that surfaced infamously in the Abu Ghraib abuse cases of 2004. Subsequently, U.S. commanders discovered an escape tunnel dug by as many as 600 detainees at Camp Bucca, the desert prison that until this year has been one of two U.S. detention facilities in Iraq. At one point over 10,000 detainees rioted at the camp, setting fire to tents.
One problem: The U.S. military treated the camps as holding pens beyond the boundary of war when in reality they were battlefields of their own, places where hardened terrorists could establish "jihadist universities" unless counterinsurgency tactics could turn disaffected Iraqis into solid citizens again.
The practice of counterinsurgency is counterintuitive to the traditional conduct of war. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Command and the author not only of the army manual on the subject but also its chief architect in Iraq, likes to ask military personnel: "So what have you done to help the people of Iraq today?" He tells soldiers and marines they should be ready to be greeted "with a handshake or a hand grenade" and to see themselves as nation builders as well as warriors.
So prison commanders started talking to detainees, discovering, not surprisingly, that many "were not avowed jihadists but Iraqi civilians spurred on by pragmatic considerations," writes researcher Jeffrey Azarva in the latest Middle East Quarterly. In many cases "a confluence of factors contributed to the average detainee's arrest, such as illiteracy, fear of reprisal, underemployment, and the enticement of cash." It didn't help that al-Qaeda was paying $200 to $300 a month to plant roadside bombs.
Now U.S. commanders separate the "low-value" detainees from what they consider hardened terrorists. Working with the Iraqi government, they offer them incentives to forsake jihadism: vocational training, education programs, family visitation, payment for labor in the camps, an opportunity to have their case heard before a review committee, and the prospect of release.
With the help of Iraqis, U.S. officers also discovered a 1957 Iraqi law that is making prisoner releases more successful. Those eligible must go before an Iraqi judge and take an oath not to engage in fighting. But the law goes one step further: Local guarantors, usually a tribal leader and a family member, must sign for the release. If the freed man returns to crime or insurgent activity, the guarantors can be held responsible-and authorities know where to find them.
In this way U.S. forces released over 18,000 prisoners in 2008, with only about 150 coming back, according to Brig. Gen. David Quantock, U.S. commander of the military detainee program.
At Baghdad's Camp Cropper, the other U.S. detention facility, U.S. guards segregate detainees wearing loud yellow overalls and plastic sandals into separate wings, depending on whether they are hard-core and whether they are affiliated with al-Qaeda or the Mahdi army. The tempo at Camp Cropper is anything but static. Since Jan. 1, when the status of forces agreement with the Iraqi government took effect, new detainees must go before an Iraqi court. Quantock told reporters recently that the prisons expect to release about 50 detainees per day this year. Terrorists considered "irreconcilables" will remain behind bars. And assuming the review system involving the courts remains in place, then there's recourse for sectarianism and prisoner abuse, recent hallmarks of Iraq's prison system.
Americans forget that Iraq once had one of the best education systems in the Arab world and a very high-quality judiciary. That's why Saddam had to bypass the system and create his own set of revolutionary courts. There weren't enough judges who would tow the Baath Party line," observes the Vanderbilt law professor, Michael Newton.
Newton has been in close contact with Iraqi judges since 2003. A West Point graduate who served in both the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations as a war crimes advisor at the State Department, he says U.S. officials and most Americans underestimate the capability of Iraq's judiciary system.
Newton helped Iraqi jurists draft the statute creating the Iraq High Tribunal to try crimes committed by the Baathist regime-even before Saddam's capture in December 2003. Then he worked alongside those appointed to the tribunal, joining a panel of international law experts to provide training in London to Iraqi judges (Saddam had prevented judges and lawyers from traveling outside the country, leaving most of them decades behind on legal developments). He told me he "grew to really respect the character of the judges"-and with law professor Michael P. Scharf authored Enemy of the State (2008, St. Martin's Press), a chronicle of Saddam's trial and execution.
To most Americans that trial turned into a circus culminating in a hasty and indecorous death by hanging. Newton believes that was less about flaws in the system than about the cult of Saddam, who continued to cast a shadow of fear over the proceedings both inside and outside the courtroom.
Americans saw his courtroom outbursts as a way to spread resentment of U.S. forces and to distract from the charges of mass killings and war crimes.
Saddam tried to divulge the secret location of the courtroom, shouted at the chief judge, "Go to hell!" and called on Iraqis to attack American and Iraqi officials. Court officers forced his return to the courtroom (required by law) after he boycotted the proceedings and went on a hunger strike.
For Iraqis the melodrama served to remind them what kind of dictator Saddam was, a man on the loose who cared little for their welfare. One eyewitness to mass killings ordered by Saddam in the town of Dujail was among the few to testify openly during the trial. He later paid for it: Two cousins and a nephew were killed subsequent to his courtroom appearance, and his brother was shot in the legs and crippled.
Defenses attorneys and judges also sacrificed their lives for due process: Four members of the legal team for Saddam and his seven codefendants were killed during proceedings. Nearly 200 Iraqi judges and lawyers have been assassinated since 2003, including several who began as part of the pool of tribunal judges.
At one point the Iraqi government also tried to upend proceedings, accusing several members of the tribunal of having ties to the Baath Party and forcing the chief judge to step down. But the tribunal forged ahead-sifting through what were in the beginning 10 tons of files, the evidence amassed against Saddam and his regime, stored in a specially built secure facility, according to Judge Raid Juhi Hamadi al Saedi. The former chief investigative judge of the tribunal has been a visiting fellow at Cornell Law School. "Our responsibility was to send the message that no one is above the law," al Saedi told Cornell law students last year. "We also sent a strong message to judges and legal experts that it is [their] responsibility to handle and improve the situation in Iraq. And we also sent a message to politicians: that they must [not interfere] with the rule of law and must show respect for the [Iraqi] constitution."
As the trial wound down, Newton left Iraq in December 2006, confident that a verdict and sentencing for Saddam would not take place until spring. But days later as he boarded a plane for New York, he received a text message saying, "opinion due shortly." By the time he arrived in New York, Saddam had been sentenced to death and a date of execution was nearly set.
Newton describes those final proceedings as "a mess" in Enemy of the State and writes that the tribunal "was snake-bitten from its conception." Human-rights organizations and European countries opposed it because it allowed for the death penalty and prevented Saddam from being tried in an international court. The tribunal itself was unprepared to counter the outbursts of Saddam and other defendants. Despite the trial's flaws, Newton believes the determination of the Iraqi jurists and the Iraqi people who followed it on television by the millions is a little understood milestone even now as the war draws to a close.
"I was surprised by the speed of things. But you have to remember that the Iraqi government was under tremendous domestic pressure to move swiftly. People were dying in the streets every day. The fear and paranoia over Saddam is hard to overstate. And they didn't trust the Americans." Prosecutors feared that a delay in sentencing would allow time for U.S. forces holding Saddam to reconsider turning him over to the Iraqis.
"The Iraqi judges saw this as their way of fighting terrorism. They couldn't take to the streets and fight but they could do the judicial process," said Newton. The Dujail opinion, and ongoing cases against Baathist leaders for war crimes against the Kurds, also are pertinent for the United States, Newton contends, in the continuing struggle among the executive, congressional, and judicial branches to define how to fight terrorism within the bounds of the law.
"The trial was a microcosm of the surge," said Newton. "If you put in a bunch of troops and there's no parallel system of law and justice, you can put in as many troops as you want and you will not get societal order. . . . I don't think you have a successful surge without reestablishing the rule of law. And conversely you can't reestablish the rule of law without a successful surge."
The other important by-product of Saddam's 2006 prosecution is that his Baath Party died with him. "The message for leading Sunnis was that you cannot have power again without being part of the political process," Newton told me.
The turnabout was evident in Iraq's recent provincial elections. Sunnis and Baathists boycotted parliamentary elections in 2005-with dire consequences. Once locked out of power in places like Anbar, Nineveh, and Diyala, provinces where they once enjoyed perhaps undue influence under Saddam, many took to the streets as insurgents.
This time Sunni turnout in Jan. 28 polls averaged 60 percent, compared to 2 percent in 2005, and Sunnis gained key seats on the local councils in Nineveh, an increasingly important source of power for Sunnis and Iraqi minorities given the overall gains by majority Shiites.
In general, more strictly religious parties, including radical Islamist groups, did poorly alongside more broadly secular ones. In Mosul, where Christians have been attacked by militants, that was good news: The largest Sunni party won more than 40 percent of council seats, Kurds won over 20 percent, and radical-leaning groups like the Sunni Arab Iraqi Islamic Party received less than 7 percent of the vote. In once-volatile Anbar province, Sunni leader Saleh al-Mutlaq's Iraqi National Project won a narrow victory over incumbent Sunni Islamists.
Overall, reports the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, which monitored the results, voters in 14 of Iraq's 18 provinces rejected the overtly religious alliances in favor of lists "that promised security, better services and strong central government."
Among military experts it's said that time in Iraq can be divided between B.C.-Before the Counterinsurgency-and A.D.-After David, as in Petraeus. While the successes of the military surge he engineered are undeniable, they go hand in hand with rule-of-law "surges" that are slowly reinforcing other forms of security. And the principles at work-among them moving into the neighborhood to gain legitimacy (and to help), creating governing bodies with popular support (and supporting them), minimizing corruption and abuse-can be carried well beyond the Zagros Mountains to Afghanistan because they are principles that work, however imperfectly, everywhere.

Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
I had an hour to spare today and decided to have another look at this. I wasn't really happy with the cloud layer, the clouds were too vague and transparent.
This image is the same basic planet pattern as before, but since I was concentrating on the cloud layer, I didn't bother putting any texture on the land and sea, and painted the land area purple to give a better contrast for the clouds.
ie go from the black and white cow and simply paint the land purple and the sea dark blue.
Now, I made a new layer and put clouds on it as before, but this time I ran Filters->Clouds->Difference clouds about ten times in succession. This made the clouds 'wispier' and gave the appearance of bands. The bands ran vertically, but a simple rotation of the layer had them running horizontally.
Then I played with brightness and contrast to make cloud cover quite white over much of the surface, then instead of making the layer transparent, I did Colours->Colour to Alpha and chose black (000000) to be transparent.
Colour to alpha makes much better-defined clouds than reducing layer opacity (which washes everything out) because only the non-white areas become transparent.
Now, knowing which part of the planet would be visible after mapping to sphere (cos I've done it before) I zoomed into my flat map until only this part was visible, then selected one ninth of the area with rectangle select and performed Filters->Distort->Whirl and Pinch. I then repeated this for each of the other ninths. This gave characteristic swirl patterns to the clouds, but over small areas, rather than one big, unrealistic swirl.
Once the cloud layer was complete, I mapped to sphere as before.
As this is simply an exercise in clouds, I haven't finished this drawing with shadows and highlights.
Have fun with your clouds and feel free to post any results from this planet tutorial.
PS. Thanks to the people who gave me some grey rep for this tutorial. I usually send a thank-you PM, but when I tried to cc everyone, I found that apparently you can't receive PMs until you've made a number of posts.

I really wanted to get these when I stopped at Walmart today, but then I thought of my 2.5 year old kid and decided they were not worth it.
someday maybe, but not now.
they do look tempting though... seem so round and slippery and fun! :)

I tried these a few months back with my 2 1/2 year old. I felt he'd gotten to a point where he wasn't interested in putting everything into his mouth. Our water bead sensory time was VERY closely monitored just in case. He LOVED them, but in the end, I couldn't handle it. He likes to dump everything - those beads scatter and bounce on wood floors like you wouldn't believe (and then collect the dust on my not perfectly clean floors :)). We tried it outside too in our water table, but again, he started dumping them on the grass, which I didn't think was a good idea. So the beads went bye-bye for a very. long. time. However, he STILL asks about them - he really did love them, but I just couldn't handle them! Maybe we'll try a again in a few years.

Anthropometry is the science that defines physical measures of a person's size, form, and functional capacities. As applied to occupational injury prevention, anthropometric measurements are used to evaluate the interaction of workers with tasks, tools, machines, vehicles, and personal protective equipment, especially in regard to determining degree of protection afforded against hazardous exposures, whether chronic or acute.
Importance of Anthropometry
Designs that are incompatible with normal anthropometric measurements of a workforce could result in undesired incidents. The misfit of a heavy equipment cabin to a worker could produce operator blind spots that expose workers on foot to struck by injuries. Inadequate length or configuration of seatbelts could lead to non use of seatbelts, which will affect post-crash survivability. Inadequate fit of personal protective equipment cannot provide workers with sufficient protection from health and injury exposures (Hsiao and Halperin, 1998). Existing data on the size and shape of industrial workers is sparse, at best. Because of the lack of anthropometric data for the general worker population, safety researchers have generally had to rely on data drawn from studies of military personnel, most of which was collected during the 1950s through the 1970s. However, substantial anthropometric variability exists among the various U.S. workforce populations, and they are quite different from the average military population. Industrial workers, such as the agriculture, truck driver, and firefighter workforces, are even anthropometrically very different from the average civilian population (Hsiao et al, 2002).
Diverse work forces in many occupations, as well as new roles for women in the workforce, require body size data for designing adequate workplaces, systems, and personal protective equipment. In the past, variance in body dimensions was typically reported as means and standard deviations for various body segments (Roebuck et al., 1975). This approach was successful in generating general, broad parameters for personal protective equipment (PPE) sizing but was deficient in generating the detailed fit information needed for workplace, PPE, and other equipment design.
Technological development in recent years has advanced the basic science of human size and shape studies in 3-dimensional forms (3D), and computer-generated human models are now available for anthropometric analysis. These advances in anthropometric science and computer-based human-form modeling have opened various research avenues for improving workplace and protective equipment design as well as anthropometric fit within complex systems.
Trends in Anthropometry Research
Anthropometric design procedures must take into consideration the large variation in dimensions from person to person and from population to population. In the research area of applied anthropometry, new initiatives have begun to collect 3D anthropometric data that will ultimately result in a better fit between workers and their tools, systems, and work environments.

A visit to Actun Tunichil Muknal, the "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher", is an absolutely "must-do" for the physically-fit, nonclaustrophobic Belize adventure traveler who seeks unusual experiences.
Year ago, I approached my first ATM venture with trepidation. My wonderful guide held my hand as I awkwardly traversed a river three times during the 45-minute hike to the cave entrance. When I saw the large rocks blocking the entrance, I said, "I have to do what before I start swimming into the cave?" Assured by my confident guide that I could do this, I proceeded to place my feet wherever he told me and climb over the rocks until I reached the cool water.
After a short swim, I could wade, then walk. My confidence built as we progressed slowly into the cave with stops to view awesome limestone formations and learn about the Maya priests who had exclusive access to this precious ceremonial cave. We travelled quite a distance before reaching the chamber with relics, ranging from pottery shards to pieces almost intact. It is unlikely we'll find a piece of perfect pottery. The Maya believed the spirit of its owner resided in the pot and must be released if its owner leaves. If a piece isn't cracked, it will have at least a small "kill hole", intended to allow the spirit to escape.
Human skulls and bones rest amid the pottery relics, left in situ by the archaeologists who discovered and inventoried the site. Moving past this chamber, we were led to a sheer rock that elicited my earlier reaction. "I have to do what?" I still can't believe I've navigated that rock several times. The reward was astounding.
We were led to an inner chamber where we climbed up an uncomfortable metal ladder, the only convenience or safety device installed by modern man, to view the cave's piece de resistance. The "Crystal Maiden", a complete skeleton that sparkles as a result of crystal calcification. She was believed to be a young human sacrifice. We learned recently that "she" was actually a "he." I doubt he rested well with his epithet of "Crystal Maiden" and have not yet learned if he is renamed.
The skeleton provided a dramatic finish for the trip into the Cave. Then we retraced our steps and strokes for the swim out. The return trip was great. My apprehension was replaced by confidence. I was able to focus more on the exquisite surroundings and reflect on the spiritual nature of the place. Imagine, priestly rituals and sacrifices actually occurred right there. And physical residuals remain to be seen.
A great ATM phenomenon: it gets better each time I return and observe a little bit more. To me, adventure tourism just doesn't get better than this.

That's one of the nicest hand drawn maps I've seen on this site. I assume most of it is hand drawn rather than done with custom brushes?
A couple of minor niggles - the chasm to the SE looks like it should flood with water. Also, I'm not crazy about the sea texture but the land is spot on.
Good work!

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Boston Celtics did just fine in their first
game without Rajon Rondo, with Jeff Green scoring a season-best 19 points off
the bench to lead the way in a 96-78 rout of the cold-shooting Portland Trail
Blazers at TD Garden.
Jason Terry added 17 points as Boston easily overcame the absence of its All-
Star point guard, who was serving the first of a two-game suspension for
fighting with Brooklyn's Kris Humphries in Wednesday's 95-83 home loss to the
Paul Pierce amassed 12 points and eight rebounds to help the Celtics to their
third victory in four games and sixth consecutive triumph over Portland.
LaMarcus Aldridge was the lone bright spot in an otherwise brutal offensive
display for the Trail Blazers. Portland shot just 34.8 percent overall and
went 3-of-15 from 3-point range, while committing 23 turnovers as well to fall
to 0-4 on its current 7-game road trip.
Aldridge paced all players with 23 points and pulled down eight rebounds.

Marine science on turtle time
San Diego Bay draws green sea turtles, but keeping tabs tests researchers' patience
To capture green sea turtles in San Diego Bay, scientists pilot skiffs, set nets, throw lassos and haul in animals weighing up to a quarter-ton.
That's the easy part.
The harder task is trying to guess the creatures' locations — glimpsing the gliding giants, but not knowing where they'll surface.
The large, endangered reptiles are what researcher Jeff Seminoff calls San Diego Bay's best-kept secret, modern dinosaurs on the urban edge. Sixty or more green sea turtles live in the bay, part of the northernmost fringe of a population based in Baja California.
Scientists have tracked the creatures for decades. Until last year, the turtles could be found basking predictably at warm-water outfalls for the South Bay Power Plant. Since the facility was decommissioned two years ago and demolished early this year, the animals are venturing north of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, confounding researchers trying to study and protect them.
With the bay restored to natural temperatures, said Seminoff, leader of the National Marine Fisheries' Marine Turtle Ecology and Assessment Program, scientists have to discover anew "where the turtles have their bedrooms, where they sleep at night, where they forage during the day. There are still some mysteries."
On one recent sunny morning, Seminoff and his crew set out in search of answers. Sea breezes gusted as researchers left the dock in Boston Whalers and set 328-foot long nets designed to entrap passing turtles. They also patrolled the shallows with smaller "strike nets" designed to encircle any of the turtles they might see.
Seminoff captained one boat, and database manager Dan Prosperi took the wheel of the other. Without the certainty of the power plant's water flows, finding these reptiles was as much a matter of vibe as science, they said. It's a kind of intuition that comes from long days at sea.
Seminoff earned his Ph.D. in wildlife ecology from the University of Arizona. But he received his field training from Mexican fishermen, whose commercial-fishing skills he adapted to scientific study. At that time, no one else in the Americas was studying green sea turtles in the water, said Bryan Wallace, chief scientist at the Oceanic Society.
Although the San Diego Bay population is small, it offers a key window into the migration and reproduction of green sea turtles throughout their range from Long Beach to Colombia, Wallace said.
"We're really learned a lot about green sea turtles as a whole from studying this serendipitous population," he said.
Mexico banned turtle fishing in 1990, after demand for turtle meat led the population to crash, Seminoff said. He began research in Baja California a year later and enlisted traditional fishermen's help.
"When I first went there, I was the crazy guy that wanted to study turtles rather than eat them," he said. "But over time, that conservation ethic I had, I was able to convey to fishermen, and they started to see the turtles outside of food."
Under their guidance, Seminoff said, "I learned how to read the water, how to build nets from scratch, to mend nets."
After mastering those skills, Seminoff trained others through informal apprenticeships. Among those was Tomoharu Eguchi, a marine mammal researcher who joined the turtle program eight years ago. For Eguchi, the big, placid turtles were easy to handle, compared with the feisty harbor seals and sea lions he had wrangled before. The bay, too, is milder than most.
"A big advantage of working within San Diego Bay is that weather and sea conditions are as good as they get," he said. "This is probably the easiest work I've done in my career."

Barbara Raudner Climbs Mind Control (5.14c)
Barbara Raudner of Austria has climbed her hardest route to date, sending Mind Control (5.14c) at the now renowned crag of Oliana, Spain. The 150-foot tufa route, which was established by Chris Sharma, has become a modern classic for the sport-climbing elite. Raudner says she was inspired to try the route after Daila Ojeda made the first female ascent in 2012. "Daila recommended the route to me," writes Raudner. Raudner began projecting the line immediately, and her progress was quick.
"In February, the day, when Adam Ondra sent La Dura Dura 9b+ (5.15c) and Andrea Cartas did Fish Eye 8c (5.14b), I was already super close to sending," says Raudner. "I fell again a few times on the last moves before I had to go home."
Raudner returned to Spain in March, however, and set her sights on Mind Control. But the wet spring in Spain tested her patience. "The top tufa was very wet and it stayed wet for long time."
Undaunted, Raudner continued to work Mind Control, explaining that she was too "infatuated" to give up. By late April the top tufa of Mind Control finally dried, and Raudner's patience paid off.
"I had to stay motivated, control my mind until the top, and take my chance," she says. Raudner stayed focused and clipped the chains of Mind Control (5.14c), which she says is the "most beautiful route" she has ever tried.

#1 Report: Childhood Poverty High In Detroit, But Teen Pregnancy Down01-25-2013, 09:48 PM
DETROIT (WWJ) A new report from Data Driven Detroit reveals that in spite of the many families with kids that left Detroit between 2000 and 2010 — much of the city's population still consists of children living in poverty.
Sixty percent of children in Detroit live in poverty, per the "State of Detroit" report. This represents a 64.7 percent increase in child poverty in the city since 1999. Children account for 194,347 of Detroit's residents, or 27 percent of the city's total population.
Despite the poverty rate, the report also shows that there are some positive changes taking place in the city, according to the data firm's director Kurt Metzger. It shows a significant decrease in the number of teen pregnancies.
"Much more actual education in schools, much more open discussions, I think there's been a lot more effort around that not only in Detroit Public Schools, but also nationally we're starting to see those numbers go down," Metzger said.

What this means is that they have last years gaming system, the TV's in their rooms are less than 22 inch, they have to settle for 2 topping pizza's at Simple Simon's and they drink generic soda.The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

There is some good news in the report. Not much, but some.
My own personal observation is that families in poverty do not move, even though they are the ones who most need to move. Also there appears to be a link between poverty and large families. Affluent families do not have as many children, and once that chain of having many children is broken, people don't go back to having, say, eight kids.
In other words, if you come from a family that has only one or two kids, that's all you will have, and all your children will have.
And maybe the word is getting out that the fastest way to permanent poverty is to become pregnant as a teenager.
But I still don't buy that stuff about them drinking generic soda. 'Dey ain't no way in hell!

As recently as my youth, the blacks of DC still had familial tie lines to the Carolinas. "At-risk" or already in trouble black youth were often sent by their parents to live with grandparents or other relatives in the Carolinas to remove them from the growing menace of ghetto sub-culture in eastern DC and the spillover into PG county.
For their part, the poor whites came down the mountains to work in the factories. They did it a little differently than the blacks, and there is a wonderful documentary about Appalachian people "commuting" to the factories of Ohio. They would live cramped up in urban dwellings in Ohio during the work week and pile into cars and return home to the mountains to recharge their batteries and be with family on weekends.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the condition of urban youth is the apparent lack of concern about having a felony arrest or conviction on ones record. As I understand it this is a barrier to military service, which is often the best or the only way out of poverty for many. In some cases they appear to think it's cool to have a brush with the law.
I wonder why there aren't residential military schools for at-risk youth whose parents don't have the cash to send them off to some private reserve in Tennessee or Alabama. Surely it would be more cost efficient than paying for the effects of neglect and disregard for the consequences of poorly inspired youth.
In order for inner-city poverty to REALLY be addressed, it has to come from within.......urban blacks will have to take a loooong look in the mirror, and decide, as a group, to join the rest of American society instead of isolating themselves from it as they do now......the end of "black culture" would be a starting point.........however, I don't see that happening anytime soon........
"Detroit" is not the problem......the people who live there are the problem......

Today, the best of the cousins are leaving now Detroit and Chicago for work in the State Department (for example), and, again, the worst of the lot stay where they are.
I have said before that I believe America was founded by the best and the brightest from all continents except Africa. The Africans who came here were not willing participants, and had lost some sort of power struggle in their home countries. These weaker Africans were then sold to white Europeans by the more powerful Africans.
Driving the US as I did in a truck with Mississippi plastered all over it, I was approached many, many times by black people who wanted to tell me that their family had come from Mississippi back before they were born. They were always curious about Mississippi; wanted to know if I knew where such-and-such was. And I always encouraged their questions and assured them that Mississippi was not the place their Grandparents had left. And it isn't. Mississippi has the highest percentage of black elected officials of any state.
Today, I see black people moving back. Not in droves, exactly, but it is happening.
Interesting stuff.
I've been living in metro Detroit for 25 years. I also spent plenty of time in Detroit in the early 70s, when I was a kid and my grandparents still lived there (before they retired and moved to Traverse City).
I wouldn't dispute the 60% of Detroit children living in poverty statistic. The black middle class left the city-either at the end of the Archer administration (1994-2001-I left the city in 2001)) or during Kwame's administration. Why live in Detroit, with it's crappy schools and high property taxes, if you can get a house for the same price, with lower tax rates and better schools in suburbs like Warren or Eastpointe? When the middle class leaves, only the poor are left, not counting a few wealthy people who live in high rises on the riverfront. The kids are poor-they're not hungry, but they are poor.
Welfare is a trap that keeps people in poverty and keeps them in the ghetto. No one had the foresight in the 70s, when the american auto industry started to decline and the white flight from the city ensued, to start a small business program, to train people how to start up and run a business of their own-there's no Junior Achievement in the Detroit Public Schools.
The auto industry does not produce the numbers of jobs that the city depended on in the past, but the medical segment of the local economy continues to grow. There are jobs in nursing, different technicians, and so on at the local hospitals, which continue to expand. Once upon a time, the schools prepared the kids to graduate and get a job at one of the Big Three factories, now they need to prepare the kids to be nurses aids and technical assistants, which are the types of jobs that motivate people to go to nursing school and college to get better jobs. People like me, who work with kids, are trying to encourage them to look into medical field careers. Nursing is a great career, and these days, it pays well if you work at a hospital or nursing home.
I've mentioned my crazy friend and her conspiracy theories. She is black, and grew up in the suburbs, with married parents, a middle class upbringing, weekly attendance at an MBE church, and decent schools. After she graduated, she couldn't find a good job so she got one in retail management and rented a studio apartment near Wayne State. I already lived in the city at this point, and had been living there for a few years. I was amazed at how fast she bought into the ghetto world. The next thing you know, she's telling me that Dennis Archer is a tool of the white man and Mike Illitch has elderly property owners killed so that he can buy their property.

Soothing Touch Herbal Heat Pain Relief Gel
A warming gel for pre-sports warm up. This invigorating gel relaxes muscle tissue, reduces stiffness and helps relieve pain following exercise. This gel provides fast-acting pain relief for your clients. Formulated with aloe and eucalyptus, Herbal Heat is ideal for pre and post exercise muscle care. This product is especially effective for cold stiff conditions. Having a deeply penetrating gel with a vanishing scent that absorbs quickly is a perfect addition to anyone looking for pain relief. Use as directed. Available in 4 oz squeeze bottle or a 32 oz jar with pump.
I have been a long time consumer of Soothing Touch massage lotions. I had hoped this would be a herbal alternative to Tiger Balm. I was sadly mistaken. The small bottle I purchased to sample would have led me to buy more, even though it was a little pricy, had the product actually worked. Maybe it was a bad batch but there was absolutely no heat what so ever. I tried it on myself before asking a few clients to try just in case my skin wasn't sensitive to it. They all said the same. I will certainly not purchase this again.
I purchased 4 different heat products to compare them: Sombra Warm Therapy, CryoDerm Heat, Prossage Heat and Soothing Touch Herbal Heat. Sombra won, hands down, for overall use. It warmed up quickly, has a nice scent, and kept the heat for a reasonable time.
CryoDerm came in a fast second. The heat held longer than Sombra, and felt deeper, but the scent tends more towards the mediciney side. I found it also heated up hours after I applied it when damp heat was applied to the area. I didn't mind that effect, but was glad to know it could happen.
Prossage was my third choice. It held heat longer than Sombra, and was fairly comparable to CryoDerm, but the scent is horrible. I might use this on myself (just to avoid throwing product out), but not on my clients.
I had high hopes for Soothing Touch as it seems to rely more on essential oils than on camphor and menthol. It has a lovely scent, but the effects weren't as deep or as long lasting as the other products. Also, it says on the bottle "a warming gel for pre-sports warm up". Perhaps this would be perfect for sports massage, but I'm not sure it's what I would use for deeper tissue issues.

|The eyes have it
|Written by Darci Tomky
For those who have struggled with big, bulky eyeglasses or dry and uncomfortable contact lenses, a solution may be in sight.
Laser eye surgery is becoming increasingly more popular, and in around 10 minutes per eye, it's a quick fix to lifelong vision problems.
"As far as my procedure, I consider it simple and quick," said Arlan Scholl, a Holyoke resident who had the surgery in 2002. "What you get, you get right away."
Arlan Scholl celebrates the freedom of life without glasses following LASIK eye surgery over 10 years ago, a procedure option growing in popularity for many Americans struggling with vision problems.
After years of struggling with "those old heavy glasses" and scratchy hard contact lenses, Scholl experienced a night and day difference of going from "legally blind" to 20/20 vision.
Since getting glasses for nearsightedness as a third-grader, Scholl said his quality of life wasn't too great with glasses, but after the surgery, "all of a sudden, without your glasses, you can live life!"
Scholl had LASIK eye surgery, the most common type of refractive surgery. Short for laser-assisten in-situ keratomileusis, the surgery changes the shape of the cornea, which is the dome-shaped transparent tissue at the front of the eye.

I have decided to only run one thread here in the Mapping Elements Area and collect all my material for a more easier collecting and distributing.
With the time I want to put some new brushes and other Materials usefull for mapping in this, and open it for discussion.
For the Beginning, I want to post my grids, which I use to design new map-elements like Mountains. To use a grid is an easy way for me to have an overview and controll about the sizes usable for a map. The Grids are on an 300DPI roughly A4 Sheet, the base box size is 5mm x 5mm and increased always by one another dimension of 5 mm. Its helping me a lot to have mountains for each set in a decent number, if I stick to the amount on the sheet.

"The University of Rhode Island acknowledges the importance of supporting dual career partners in attracting and retaining a quality workforce, and in its long-range economic benefit to the University, and is committed to offering placement advice and assistance whenever feasible and appropriate."
The policy statement above, approved by the Administration, is the beginning of a URI Dual Career Hiring Program, which was identified in the University's 2006-2009 Strategic Plan as a goal under Initiative III, Create a More Inclusive Environment. In collaboration with the President's Commission on the Status of Women, ADVANCE has established draft dual career hiring guidelines for the University, and is exploring the development of a regional network of contacts. We are most grateful for the continuing support of the URI Administration as we work on this pressing issue.
What is the Dual Career Assistance Program?
University of Rhode Island recognizes that top faculty candidates increasingly have partners who simultaneously are seeking employment, and acknowledges that to remain competitive in recruitment and retention, it is important to consider the employment needs of partners in any faculty hire. Nationally, it is becoming an established reality that the presence of a successful dual career assistance program enhances institutional effectiveness in recruitment, retention, overall diversity, and family friendly climate. Thus, this program includes suggested guidelines to assist accompanying partners of job candidates in searching for appropriate employment opportunities. This program is envisioned to work in coordination with other Affirmative Action programs and goals.
|Employment Assistance, Not Job Placement
Dual Career Assistance at the University of Rhode Island is not intended to supersede Affirmative Action, Board of Governors, University policy, or collective bargaining agreement provisions. Due to the specifics of various labor union contracts, these guidelines currently are designed to meet the needs of AAUP faculty. However, the following recommendations are a first step in an ongoing process of developing guidelines that effectively address dual career needs at URI for all employees. Moreover, the University of Rhode Island recognizes the need to continuously evaluate the impact of dual career assistance on maintaining balance with the overall goals of diversity within the University.
The value of assisting individuals in dual career partnerships to obtain employment opportunities is readily acknowledged, and URI has established these guidelines in that spirit. However, it is critical to note that individuals are encouraged to take advantage of additional career search resources in Rhode Island and online, as the University does not guarantee or promise employment to job seekers.
|The Dual Career Assistance Program at URI will consist of:
- Policy Statement and Guidelines
- Background Information
- Resources for Dual Career Couples
- Regional Network (TBD)
- An oversight committee or office (TBD)
- Dual Career Handbook in pdf format
The Dual Career Guidelines were formally endorsed in February 2008. They are the result of much research and review of best practices. They include a set of steps that can be referred to for guidance by search committees and faculty as a general structure for assisting dual career partners.
Resources for Dual Career Couples includes a collection of useful websites regarding dual career couples, focusing on several areas: within the University of Rhode Island, within the state of Rhode Island, and various other Universities and Colleges. Additionally information can be found regarding national job searches and dual career programs at other academic institutions.
|Qualitative Interviews
Many concerns have been voiced about the pressing need to address this increasingly important issue. In-depth interviews (N = 14) have been conducted with dual career faculty couples and department chairs in order to assess the current situation at URI and to help inform policy development. The interview protocols are available at:
If you have information or concerns about dual career issues at URI, please contact the ADVANCE office at 874-9422 or email@example.com.

But I am waiting for the title game to come on. Sitting here with my good buddy Brent Blum and we came across Dancing with the Stars. Kate Gosslin came on.
In your opinion, on this show, is she attractive?
Thanks for helping to settle this argument.
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
She's decent for having 8 kids
If you consider attitude/personality then no. If she wasn't allowed to talk, she'd have a shot.
She is a train wreck that keeps you watching for some reason. She is the biggest ***** I have ever seen. And before all her surgery she wasn't that great looking. Just shows what money and a good dr can do.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
So who is saying Blum is saying she's hot and who is saying CW is saying she's hot.
I'm saying Blum is the one thinking she's hot.
Throwing her in the category of "damaged goods".
Doesn't do it for me.... something about her belly button being 2 feet too high doesn't help either
when she had this hair she was....
Need some pics in her current state to make a sound decision.

We cannot reveal this information quite yet. It will affect your answers.
I'd hit it.
I haven't seen her recently, but when I saw her a year ago or two, I thought she was attractive.
When Prepared, Fear No One.

I'm guessing after hearing some of your confussions about music and what not... You find her hot.
Brent not so much..
Mildly attractive on good days when not allowed to speak.
"Dog Eat Dog"
Read the news
Someone win,
Someone lose
Before and after surgery.. You can be the judge..

I'm a sucker for trying new things and feel they have some new technology in this bow that will make it a great shooter.
Should have it in a few weeks and will keep you posted with a review. The only thing I am not crazy about is the 70% let-off so I ordered it with 60# limbs. Still will give me 82 ft lbs of KE. Should make for a great pack in bow at 3.7# as well.

early August 2013 until further notice
Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin
The collection of Erich Marx is closely bound up with the history of the Hamburger Bahnhof, the third largest division of the Nationalgalerie. Following the comprehensive remodelling of the former railway terminus by architect Josef Paul Kleihues and the construction of a large barrel-vaulted painting gallery to the east, the Museum für Gegenwart opened in 1996 with the Marx Collection as its very first exhibition. The core of the collection revolves around works by world-famous artists of the second half of the 20th century, such as Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol, from whom Erich Marx acquired groups of works of the highest quality. To this selection he continually added new works by contemporary male and female artists.
The Marx Collection was on view until 9th October in the west wing of the Hamburger Bahnhof, where groups of works by the US artists were on display for the first time in close proximity to the pieces by Joseph Beuys. The character of this collection and its intelligent concentration on outstanding artists can be observed here in the works of Joseph Beuys, Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly. Individual pieces by Matthew Barney and Jeff Koons, as representatives of a younger generation, can also be seen. Above all, however, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover a different facet of Andy Warhol, who is represented not only by large-scale icons but also by 89 early, very delicate drawings from the years 1953 to 1960.
In the Kleihueshalle, where presentations of the Marx Collection are traditionally held, the exhibition "Black Mountain. An Interdisciplinary Experiment. 1933-1957" was on display until 27 September 2015. Like the preceding exhibition "The End of the 20th Century. The Best is Yet to Come", the "Black Mountain" show was developed out of the Marx Collection. "Das Kapital Raum 1970-1977", the environment by Joseph Beuys that was recently acquired by Erich Marx, goes on display next year. These partly temporary, partly permanently installed presentations show above all the intellectual dimension of the artworks in this outstanding collection.
The museum's core groups of works by the artists Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol are on display in the Kleihueshalle since 31 October 2015. Works by Joseph Beuys will remain on view in the museum's west wing.
