A 5-year-old boy will turn into a crime fighting "Batkid" on Friday with the help of thousands of strangers and the Bay Area Make A Wish Foundation.
Miles told the foundation his wish was to follow in the footsteps of crime-fighting superhero Batman. San Francisco will transform into a real-life Gotham City for a series of run-ins with famous Batman villains, including the Penguin and the Riddler.
Miles' day will end at City Hall where the mayor and police chief will present him with a key to the city and thousands of onlookers will cheer him on.
The Make A Wish Foundation has set up an online RSVP system to help plan for a large crowd of supporters and set up a special Twitter hashtag, #SFBatkid.

The Cartographers Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Yes it is true, drawsalot. All maps in this forum are generated by pressing buttons in computer programs.
does anyone draw maps using talent or are all of these maps computer generated?
Yes it is true, drawsalot. All maps in this forum are generated by pressing buttons in computer programs.
Varying amounts of talent are applied to get the maps you see. There are a few apps that will generate decent maps with but a FEW buttons being mashed, but you can bet the ones that make your jaw drop are the result of thousands of buttons, expert digitizer penstrokes, and hours upon hours of thinking. Talent, 'n other words. Gobs of it. Some of the Guildspeople here are so loaded with talent that it oozes from them as they walk, leaving talenty-footprints all over their respective home cities. Would-be mappers seek out these footprints and mop them up, to distill sufficient reflected glory to produce the odd dungeon diagram or campaign chart. Wish I lived near enough to follow some with a sponge - I could use an infusion of the mapmuse essence.
If you're implying that the ones involving computer actions are somehow deficient in talent whilst those involving pen and ink might be more talent-driven, well just look at my output. The paper-based ones are bottom-shelf material, while the digital ones are... well, bottom-shelf material too. :-). So maybe I am not a stellar example. At any rate, the simplest of tools on the computer, say, MS Paint, have been used to give us some of the loveliest examples of cartographic excellence. Your member intro notes you've been drawing maps a good long while - are yours all on paper? Fear not, we are not a digital-only bunch; the computer-born and -borne ones predominate just by self-selection (you are using a computer to see this, therefore you are some level of computer person, etc). We LOVE traditional media as well! Show us something from your portfolio. Also fear not that your work will suffer by comparison - we're an appreciative lot. I for one am convinced I can learn something from about anyone's works, whether noob or master, whether crude or deft.
From yet another angle, various denizens of the CG disclaim any artistic ability, yet they create maps varying from serviceable to sublime. Their point, once any false modesty is discounted, is that this stuff can be tackled as a craft as well as an art. Really, there are those here who also practice cartography as science too - not so much the fantastic subjects as the real-world ones of geology, oceanography, and the like. You find herein tutorials freely sharing the expertise of all those levels - art, craft, and science. You note you're impressed with what you see - pick a likely tutorial and dive in. I bet you can craft something that'll please yourself any those about you, even if the ways & means differ from what you're used to. What computer graphics apps might you have access to?
In one respect every last map you see here is computer generated - after all even the paper ones get to your browser by way of scanner or humble digital camera :-).
Oh, and welcome to the Guild!
Most everything I have done is by hand (usually with a drawing tablet). I wouldn't want to put up something as my own if I didn't make it myself. I have however learned to use textures as well as some of the filters to speed things up a bit. I wouldn't consider that computer generated or talentless though. Most experienced photshop/gimp users can spot excessive filter usage anyway so I for one try to limit their use or use them in a way that doesn't take over the artwork I've put in.
We have also had quite a few traditional media challenges where the art was done with pencils/paper/watercolor/whatever and scanned or photographed so yes, there are quite a few people with talent if that's what you mean.
Even those who can't draw however still have to be able to create the shapes, lighting and other things to make really good maps. I don't know of any software that automatically creates great maps on it's own. There are some "stamper" type maps which don't require artistic ability as far as being able to draw but even those can be fun to look at.

What are you implying? That those of us who primarily use photoshop or Gimp or whatever are somehow lacking in talent? Nice. Welcome to the Guild.
Let's not forget, that talent alone is not the way to a good artwork. It is only the basis. Talent makes roughly 5% of good graphic work.
The rest is years of continuous learning and training in drawing, painting, typography, calligraphy, programs and input devices.
It's also the knowledge of choosing the right tools for each project.
But on the other hand, I have to say, that a complex and completely hand drawn and hand written map without mistakes is yet a sign of extreme mastery.
Clicking on readymade icons in applications and taking back every step is not what I would call high expertise in mapmaking.
That's like putting a frozen pizza into the oven and call it cooking.
In the end, a computer made map may be a very good piece of work. But a hand drawn, written and colored original is a piece of art.
Just my 2 cents.
I actually think that a gorgeous map done by hand requires more talent than a similarly gorgeous map done by computer, though its just an opinion with little proof to back it up. I think its more to do with the amount of tools at a gimp/PS user's disposal like masks, layers, filters, textures etc. which can often add so much with little more than a click of a button. things like wave lines, which cn be done witha simple selection/expand command on computer take so much longer by hand.
Take the Saderan tutorial, for instance, anyone with absolutely no knowledge in PS can create a good-looking map just by following instructions verbatum. though having said that it takes talent to turn something mediocre into something truly lovely. things like choosing the right typography, borders, map elements, symbols, keys etc. as well as other artistic embellishments are things that apply to hand-drawn and computer generated maps just the same.

I was writing a long, long, paragraph, but it didn't really make alot of sense, instead here is my short opinion.
As Freehand says (i'd be personally have the percentage a bit higher.) - it isn't soley based on talent, but the experience and knowledge of the person who uses the said program
Take my friend for example - she can draw anything at all on paper - but as soon as you put her on a computer with a mouse or tablet, the only thing she can draw is a square, a very, very weird looking square.
Another good thing to have in mapping is patience, i've seen some AMAZING maps made by people who've spent literally a few years working on them, like nursing a baby. Of course, i've never attempted that, the longest map i've ever worked on was Urem Irnar, which spanned a few months because of lack of inspiration (Another huge thing, for me atleast.)
So, to sum it up. Alot of people have talent here - take Arsheesh, Ascension, and a few others who make satelite style maps, they don't draw them, but they do make them.
They just have talent in another way.. And patience, experience, and training - of course.
I have yet to see a computer generate much of anything worth looking at. Okay, maybe fractal flame animations and their relatives, but even those are human-made art. The craft is merely in the math rather than in the pixels. And don't tell me a mathematician can't be an artist; I have a print of Euler's relation hanging on my wall (justinmullins.com if you're interested in that kind of thing).
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
I had a really long reply planned but I'll just say that I don't believe in the whole talent thing. To me there's ability and then there is imagination. Anyone can learn the first one and that includes being able to draw almost perfect photographic renderings of someone in pencil on paper. It's just drawing what you see. Photoshop or whatever is just another tool that you learn to use.
I hate the whole "talent" thing. Too many people are discouraged from drawing and the like because they are told they don't have talent, when the reality is they were just never taught how to draw what was in front of them or told that it was something they could learn.

Quote zenguitar:10th fret on the
bottom E. The interesting thing about harmonics is that the nodes aren't always located
exactly over a fret, and the node close to the 9th fret is actually between the 9th and
10th frets. The same area where your barring finger would be. And it's always easier to
get those 'less common' harmonics on the bass strings than the treble ones. On the treble
E the string has very little mass so you have to be very accurate to find the harmonic at
the 9th/10th fret. If you are slightly in the wrong place your fingertip damps the
vibration because the string has little energy. On the bass E there is a lot more mass
which gives the string greater energy, so if you are close enough to the harmonic node it
can still sound clearly.Does that fit in with what you are hearing?

I have a problem of internal messages sent by users outside the company when they arrive at the internal user it goes to spam box.
Reading the forum I saw some comments that it was a problem in smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header that comes enabled as the woe and generates a false positive in spamassassin, the solution would be to amend smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header posted to yes in main.cf, more Guando change to yes and restart the zimbra he Back as in, reading some more I saw that should be changed in zimbra / conf / zmmta.cf, I check this file it appears as:
Postconf smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header LOCAL postfix_smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header
would only change in this way zmmta.cf ?

Influencing Today for a Better Tomorrow
Gene Martineau at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, one of the four CIM colleges.
Thor Becken's family founded Cemstone in 1927.
Bill Holden has helped masonry make inroads in Gulf Coast reconstruction.
Sidney Freedman is a leading authority on architectural precast concrete.
"The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority," says Kenneth Blanchard, author of The One Minute Manager and other bestselling books on leadership and team building.
Blanchard's observation is uncannily accurate when describing THE CONCRETE PRODUCER's 2007 Influencer honorees. In a business environment lacking any centralized leadership, our five honorees have championed initiatives that have, and continue, to fundamentally transform the concrete industry.
To accomplish this, these influencers have adopted leadership styles that are marked by consensus building. A desire to improve the entire industry, not just a market segment, drives them. They believe that lasting change must be built on a foundation of education.
While our influencers share these important views, each has taken his own unique path.
Gene Martineau is a driving force for the Concrete Industry Management program's National Steering Committee. His efforts continue to urge industry improvement, as offered by the RMC 2000 movement.
Thor Becken represents leadership by example. A true disciple of the RMC 2000 initiative, he demonstrates and shares a marketing approach that draws contractor and producer together as a team, rather than competitors.
Sidney Freedman is stalwart in defining architectural precast. He demonstrates to engineers, architects, and owners that architectural precast is more than an art form.
Bill Holden brings refreshing change to how block makers are growing their market. At a time when many feel the block and paver market is poised for decline, Holden is a passionate voice for growth.
For 20 years, the instructors, engineers, and leaders of the American Society of Civil Engineers Committee on National Concrete Canoe Competitions have challenged the best civil engineering students. By developing a fair, fun, and highly competitive event, students have learned that concrete is a versatile, important tool.
The editors of THE CONCRETE PRODUCER are proud to join the editors of CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION in recognizing people who are greatly influencing the concrete industry. We will recognize them personally at a reception at World of Concrete, at which time they will receive a commemorative concrete plaque.

Looks nice The rivers on Shibboleth map looks a bit off though (pixelated).
Hi all! One of the reasons I haven't been so active on the forum is my worldbuilding, part of which is the so-called 'Encyclopedia Elyden' which I tend to bring up in all of my threads! It exists in 2 worlds -
1) the real version that exists in my computer started out as nothing more than notes to help me in my own writing and world building, to help me locate places, items and other things I'd otherwise forget, though as my worldbuilding increased in scope it grew steadily larger, changing from simple bullet points to a target and something to aim for in its own right. Almost 10-years down the line I have over 600,000 words of text in the thing (over half of which are in the itemised encyclopedia entries - think an early edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica)
2) it exists as an in-world book that summarises the worldly knowledge of a particular nation and one thing I'm aiming for in my version is to one day create a hand-made version of this book for myself, though I don't see that happening until many many years down the line, if at all, as I'm constantly adding to it.
The in-world book is divided into 3 volumes: the encyclopedia, the world histories and mytholgies and religions, and the atlas.
We're mostly concerned with the third volume here. After much fretting about I've finally started work on this. After my uncompleted political map of Korachan I've settled on a style I'm happy with and will now set about mapping every known nation, realm and major land formation in the world. A monumental task, that, if completed, will leave me with a many-hundred-page-long document.
Each page is A3 in size and will incorporate a map on one side and various geographical, political, religious, etc information pertaining to the region on the reverse. The images are, so far, being created as individual pieces, though can easily be bound together if the thing ever gets done.
This is my work so far - mostly foundations for more detailed stuff to come later on. I've largely busied myself making a template I can quickly adapt for new maps, though sadly the creation of the neatlines and graticules are beyond my ability to automate and really take a lot of time to get done, even after running my equirectangluar world map through G. Projector. Hopefully this is the start of something far larger that won't peter out after a few months
Also, anyone familiar with my Holy Empire of Korachan map might be able to place these maps within that one. Keep in mind that these were made with far more precision than the older map and take precedence in the event of any changes
C&C welcome!
note: some of the titlebars and cartouches are still temporary, leftovers from the base template and some text does not yet make sense. also, the grid along the neatline on the Shibboleth map should be changed - from 2 to 5. per graticule grid

Yep that makes sense, should be ok at print size, as far as I've seen!
Love the look of the coast, parchment, lines and text boxes (in particular)
Once comment from me (also on the Shibboleth map) is that in the far south you have a river system that looks like it forms a ring, might be a canal etc. but thought I would mention.
I like the look of these maps! The line and style is really cool, especially the water fill (which is too much zoomed in, but probably looks much better at 300dpi). A couple of things:
- Is there a reason for the strange projections? Are they supposed to match up with a smaller-scale map which has Shibboleth and Jurras on the west side and Tzallrach and Cuth to the east? Otherwise, it might be a better idea to choose a different projection so north/south is up/down.
- Again, if these are supposed to be excerpts it might be understandable, but on a standalone map, even one with a tilted graticule, I think the labels would look much better horizontally aligned instead of aligned parallel to the parallels.
- Is it supposed to be "Latitude East of ..."? Because normally latitude doesn't work that way.
Very cool, Vorro. Glad to see you are still around and working on this I hope we will see this finished some day! I know i'd like to read it.
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
The 'latitude west/east of' is intended to give an idea of orientation - since I'm using an equidistant conic projection its impossible to apply a compass rose. Hopefully the form of the graticules should indicate where N is, though I might be making a mistaken assumption. also, for the sake of clarity Deochan (which appears in the 'latitude east of Deachan' is my world's equivalent of Greenwich

For example, a common projection used to map the USA is a conic:
It's centered on 100 degrees, so the longitude lines west of this tilt right, and the lines east of it tilt left. Your maps look like if I'd used this projection to do a map of New England:
i.e. all of the lines tilt left. But if I were actually doing a map of New England, I'd use a projection centered on New England, like this one, centered at 70 degrees:
I hope this explains my comment.
I think the projection is fine. Not all maps are centered north-south, and every map doesn't have to conform to the "norm".
Also, this is not earth.
Pretty sure the longitude/latitude thing is right, though..

What all broadcasters need to do is eliminate about 20% of their channels and funnel the programs from those stations to their other channels. That would severely cut costs without adding overhead. That would allow everyone to simply not change the prices they charge overall for several years, making most people generally happy.
I'm sure all but the most hopeless of managements has done cost/benefit analysis on just that, and concluded that they'll muddle on same ole, same ole. Plus not everyone has 5 channels or more to cut 20%.
But I'd guess there's at least 70% cruft for my viewing druthers.

Beatles' D.C. ConcertThe February 11th, 1964 concert at the Washington Coliseum, located at 3rd and M Streets N.E., occurred during a cold and snowy night. It was the Beatles' first live American performance after their televised appearance on the CBS Ed Sullivan Show. They had arrived in D.C. earlier that day by train from New York. Before their show that evening, they also appeared at a brief press conference. At show time, there was a sold-out, over-capacity crowd of 8,000 fans, by one count. Before the Beatles came on, there were other opening acts. Although three groups were advertised to perform as opening acts that night – including the girl group, The Chiffons, and also Tommy Roe and The Caravelles – an East Coast snow storm prevented The Chiffons from getting to Washington. Although the existing historical record is unclear about which groups actually performed that night as opening and/or intermission acts, Tommy Roe reports that he was there, and performed three songs – "Sheila," "Everybody," and "Carol." Also reportedly appearing that night were Jay & The Americans, The Righteous Brothers, and The Caravelles. The opening acts were quite good, according to some in attendance that evening. But when the Beatles came on, the place erupted with screaming and incessant flash bulbs. They played for nearly an hour. Because of the set up in the Coliseum, the Beatles were essentially performing on a boxing ring-type stage, and had to move their equipment around on stage a few times in order to give everyone in the audience a chance to see them. Ringo was seen moving his drum set around on stage between sets.
Beatles Set List
Roll Over Beethoven
Some Beatles afficionados and music critics regard the D.C. performance as a singular event in Beatles history, especially since it captured the group's fresh and exuberant performance for the first time with a live, American audience — the "big market" the Beatles had dreamed of cracking. Writes music critic Richie Unterberger:
"…[H]ere are the early Beatles at their on-stage best. They're more visibly delighted, indeed almost overwhelmed, by the crowd's enthusiasm here than at any time before or since. Despite the seeming overnight success of their invasion of America, it had in reality been a long hard climb to the top, taking about seven years of diligent work and numerous excruciating setbacks, and also a year or so where they'd made virtually no inroads into the U.S. market despite their mushrooming British superstardom. This was the payoff, and though the group would get fed up with touring before screaming teenagers within a couple of years, at the Washington Coliseum they were if anything having an even greater time than their admirers…."
The following day, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, meeting with British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home at the White House, reportedly said of the Beatles: "I like your advance guard. But don't you think they need haircuts?" The Beatles that day returned to New York by train for their Carnegie Hall concerts — two 25-minute performances before 2,900 fans attending each show.
The Closed-Circuit Concerts
However, about a month later, in mid-March 1964, the CBS filming of the Beatles' live D.C. show — together with separate footage of performances by the Beach Boys and Lesley Gore — was shown in selected U.S. movie theaters as a closed-circuit concert. Billed in advertising as — "The Beatles: Direct From Their First American Concert" — the complete 90-minute film was transmitted over telephone lines to selected U.S. and Canadian theaters in four separate shows — two each day — over the weekend of March 14th and 15th, 1964.
The first round of closed-circuit concerts occurred on Saturday, March 14, 1964, and among the receiving theater locations that day, for example, were: the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Hippodrome Theater in Cleveland, Ohio; the El Monte Legion Stadium in El Monte, California; the Public Auditorium in Portland, Oregon; the Village Theater in Westwood, California; and many others. The following day, on Sunday, March 15, 1964, the show went out again to a number of locations, including: the Norva Theater in Norfolk, Virginia; Lake Theater in Oak Park, Illinois; Fox Theater in San Jose, California; and also back in Washington, D.C. at the Coliseum. In Albany, New York that weekend, there were three showings at the Palace Theater. In Indianapolis, Indiana, the Lyric Theater received the show on March 14th and March 15th, as did a big screen theater at the State Fair Coliseum in Dallas, Texas.
The total audience for the special closed-circuit broad- casts of the Beatles' concert film was expected to exceed 500,000. The shows were seen in more than 100 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. The promoters — identified in advertising as the National General Corporation, or their subisidiary, Theater Color Vision — made millions. One 1964 estimate placed the take at some $4 million, or roughly $30 million in today's money. This Beatles' concert showing was apprarently the first use of closed-circuit broadcasting for a rock concert, as previously this closed-circuit theater network had been used only for championship boxing matches.
Excerpts from the film have shown up in numerous video compilations, including The Beatles Anthol- ogy. In 2003, a company named Passport released a DVD entitled The Beatles in Washington D.C., February 11, 1964.
Master Tape at Auction
Decades after the Beatles' February 1964 performances, a reported master tape of the CBS film of the Beatles' D.C. concert surfaced on the internet, appearing at the website, BeatleSource.com, display- ed in its shipping box. According to this site, the tape was auctioned off by "It's Only Rock and Roll" in 2005 to an unnamed bidder for an unspecified price.In the website's description of the master tape, however, it is noted: ". . . a variety of poor quality kinescopes trans- ferred to video versions of the [Beatles' D.C.] concert have circulated on bootlegs, imports and, most recently, as a commercially released DVD. These versions are missing the on-stage announcements and footage of the Beatles running through the audience en route to the stage. In addition, these inferior copies end abruptly midway through 'Twist & Shout,' and are totally missing the finale of 'Long Tall Sally' and footage of the Beatles leaving the stage. Even the footage seen by millions on the Beatles Anthology series was far removed in picture and sound quality from what fans saw in their local theaters in March 1964."
The website also notes in its description of this tape: "We can unequivocally say that there exists no other videotaped Beatles concert that remotely approaches the quality of this performance by the Beatles at Washington Coliseum."
"Lost" Beach Boys
There also appears to have been a film excerpt made of the Beach Boys' portion of this show, which in recent years has been marketed as a separate DVD. The disc offers 22 minutes of the Beach Boys performance, described in the marketing literature as a "long-lost concert video" only now available. That Beach Boys' performance — which was spliced into the Beatles' closed-circuit film along with the Lesley Gore performance — was originally videotaped by NBC-TV in Burbank, California. Both of those performances were part of a separate concert hosted in Los Angeles in late January 1964 by L.A. disc jockey Roger Christian. But after the Beatles' closed-circuit TV show was aired, including the Gore and Beach Boys' portions, the Beach Boys segment remained virtually unseen for decades. Then in 1998, according to one account, the Beach Boys' portion, or a version of the original session, was rediscovered and began being sold in June 1999 as a separate DVD. "Beach Boys fans will be delighted with the quality of the digitally mastered picture and sound," says one review of "The Lost Concert." It also captured the Beach Boys in their early days, when Brian Wilson was featured in the lead, as he would later stop touring with the band. The DVD also includes cutaway shots that provide a glimpse of what teen audiences were like during the heyday of the surfing craze, according to one description. "[P]lenty of Gidget hairdos, and a few parents in the crowd, marveling at the frenzy of it all…," says the description. Among the Beach Boys' songs on the disc are: "Fun Fun Fun," "Little Deuce Coupe," "Surfer Girl," "Surfin' USA," "Shut Down," "In My Room," and others. See also, "Early Beach Boys, 1962-1966."
iTunes VideoIn late 2010, a high-quality video of the 1964 Beatles' Washington, D.C. concert was reported to have surfaced in a couple of places, suggesting that it might be the 1964 master tape, or was somehow related to that tape. In November 2010, Apple, Inc.'s iTunes music service announced that it would begin selling Beatles' music – singles, albums, and a special boxed set, among other items. The "Beatles Box Set" – which iTunes was then selling for $149.00 – included 13 remastered Beatles' studio albums and other Beatles' music. The box set was also advertised to include something else: the live 1964 Washington Coliseum Beatles' concert film. iTunes reported that it had a "worldwide exclusive" on the film. Apple at that time was also allowing Beatles fans to stream and view the 1964 concert film from iTunes for free during November and December 2010.
Then, in December 2010, another report announced that the "not-seen-since-1964" closed-circuit film – complete with Beach Boys and Lesely Gore segments, Roger Christian's introductions, and the Beatles' "Long Tall Sally" concert segment – would be given a special theatrical showing at the American Cinematheque Egyptian Theater in Hollywood on February 11, 2011. Hosting this screening would be: Alan Boyd, director of the documentary Endless Harmony: The Beach Boys Story; Domenic Priore, author of Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood; and Ron Furmanek, a rock 'n roll film archivist. "This will be the first time the ENTIRE production has been seen in full since the two days it was screened as a nationwide closed-circuit theater event…", said the announcement, adding: "Our test screenings left us bedazzled, feeling as though we had just seen The Beatles in person… it's that good." Since then, however, it is not clear how often the "lost concert" Beatles film was actually aired in U.S., if at all, as a tour of U.S. theaters was promised, but there appears to have been some difficulty in showing the film — at least in some locations.
More Innocent Time
In any event, the Beatles' in-theater, closed-circuit concerts that were aired in 1964 offer a look at an earlier, more innocent time in the music concert business — and a rare piece of music industry history. It also appears that those music fans who attended the 1964 theater showings of the Beatles' first live U.S. concert — along with the added Beach Boys and Lesley Gore performances — were part of a rare event that occurred only in a limited number of U.S. locations.

so far no one else experience the same problem and I am not able to reproduce the fault on my own hardware because everything works nice.
does anyone have a clue for this?

Tim the Yowie Man at Ginninderra Falls
Ginninderra Falls flowing strongly during this week's storms. Video: Tim the Yowie Man and Phill Sledge.PT0M0S 620 349
We live in such a diverse region - from the surf to the snow and so much in between. To mark Canberra's Centenary Year, I'm devoting one column a month until the end of the year to revealing the best of exploring Canberra and beyond. Each month, I will feature a new top five - from our loftiest lookouts to our most striking man-made wonders. For some locations, you will be able to hop in the car, jump on the mountain bike or strap on the walking boots and check them out the very next day, while others you might want to add to your holiday wish list. All featured top five attractions will either be in Canberra or within a few hours' drive. This month, I reveal my:
Top natural phenomena
1. Staircase to the moon
Nature's wonders
Nature's wonders
Where: Lake George, just north of Canberra.
Phenomena: Reflections of a rising full moon on the lake's shallow waters give the illusion of a magical stairway leading up to the moon. ''Some Canberrans travel all the way to Broome to see its fabled ''Staircase to the Moon'' as the full moon rises above the tidal flats of Roebuck Bay, but we have our own version right here in our own backyard,'' boasts Robert Hunt, who lives just north of Lake George.
Wow factor: High. I've been lucky enough to witness this on a couple of occasions - first in the early 1990s (sadly, without a decent camera) and then again while on a bus passing a partially-filled lake last year. With the proliferation of high quality digital cameras in recent years, I'd love to see any photographs of this spectacle over a partially-filled Lake George.
Try it for yourself: The next full moon is February 26.
Best time: On or around the rising full moon when the lake has at least some water in it.
Witnessing the moonrise over Lake George can still be a stunning sight, even when the lake is empty. Sydney musician Bill Risby snapped a striking photo of the moon rising above the lake's wind turbines while driving past in May 2009. ''I had just done an improvised concert of music set to a documentary of the US mission to the moon so had been watching images of the moon landing all afternoon. It had quite a profound impact on me seeing the moon rise above the mystical lake after looking at it in such detail on big screens an hour of so earlier,'' Risby reflects.
Access: Although most of the lakebed is leasehold, the best view of the moonrise is from the lookout atop Geary's Gap on the Federal Highway. Alternatively, try other vantage points looking east such as Lerida Estate.
2. Tremendous torrent
Where: Ginninderra Falls, near the ACT/NSW border, just west of Belconnen.
Phenomena: The cascading falls are an awe-inspiring site during normal flow, but after a storm flood they transform into a raging torrent that is unparalleled so close to the city.
''The roar of the falls during high water flow is really something to behold, and with a heavily built-up catchment it is starting to become a regular occurrence,'' Damon Cusack, Waterwatch co-ordinator with Ginninderra Catchment Group, says.
Wow factor: Extreme. During the downpour of March 2012, I was almost blown off a cliff-top by the force of the water while attempting to film the falls in full flood. It was like being in Kakadu in the wet season. The video of the falls in flood can be viewed above.
Best time: After heavy rain.
Access: The falls and surrounding gorge country are privately owned and there is currently no public access. A push by the Ginninderra Falls Association to create a new national park in Canberra's north-west with the falls as a centre-point is gaining momentum. A public forum to discuss their proposal will be held at 7.30pm on Tuesday, February 26 in the Community Room Upstairs at the Belconnen Library in Chandler Street, Belconnen. See ginninderra.org.au for more information.
3. Feeding frenzy
Where: A secret cave near Wee Jasper.
Phenomena: Six hundred Bent-wing bats (Miniopterus schreibersii) a minute fly out of their nursery cave on their nightly feeding foray. This nondescript cave is one of just a handful of maternal caves used by the Bent-wings in the whole country. During the summertime, up to 3000 baby bats (called pups) cling to each square metre of the cave ceiling.
Wow factor: High. For special effect, the site can be back-lit to enhance the silhouettes of the bats (and make them easier to photograph).
Best time: Just after dusk in late summer.
Access: Due to research being undertaken into this colony, the New South Wales National Parks, in conjunction with Wee Jasper local naturalists, only offer a viewing experience at the cave entrance once a year. This column will provide details of the next opportunity.
4. Solstice Show
Where: Snowy River near Numbla Vale via Jindabyne.
Phenomena: A couple of days either side of the summer solstice the angle of the sun is such that it can penetrate through a tiny hole in the roof of a naturally occurring stone bridge over the Snowy River and light up a hidden cavern below.
Wow factor: High. The stone bridge conceals the flow of the river for over 100 metres and the cavern is hidden beneath. A surreal hotchpotch of flutes, fissures, potholes and spherical pools make this an extraordinary place, even without the natural light show.
Best time: A week either side of the summer solstice (around December 21-22).
Access: Due to the rugged nature of the river, the stone bridge and cavern are only accessible via Worongah, a private property. Until recently, property owners Brian and Jan Mitchell ran tours into cave, but the property has recently changed hands and tours are unfortunately not currently offered.
5. Mass migration
Where: Mt Gingera, Brindabella Mountains.
Phenomena: If you've lived in Canberra for any longer than a year or two, you'd be only too aware of Bogong moths (Agrotis infusa), which are often distracted by the bright lights of our suburbs (and Parliament House) during their annual migration from the plains of western NSW to the mountains. The brown, nutty flavoured moths spend the hot summer months aestivating (a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation) in the dark narrow rock crevices, including the ACT's own Mount Gingera. In the past, Aboriginal peoples regularly travelled to the mountains for ceremonial purposes and also to collect various foods, including bogong moths, which are high in protein and fat. They were often singed in a fire to remove their wings and scales and eaten immediately or ground into a paste that could be transported to camps further afield.
Wow factor: Medium. A crevice covered in moths isn't as eye-popping as a waterfall in flood or a dazzling natural light show, but in good years, the moths are so densely packed in the crevices that they look like a layer of fungi.
Best time: Spring to witness the migration and summer months for the aestivating.
Access: Mount Gingera is only accessible on foot. It's a 1.5-hour drive from the centre of Canberra to the start of the walk at a locked gate at Mount Ginini, via Cotter, Brindabella and Mount Franklin roads, including 33 kilometres of unsealed road. From this gate, walk along the fire trail past Pryors Hut, and take the next track on the right (signposted) for the one-kilometre hike to the summit. The walk is 14.5 kilometres (return).
Among the many long-lasting initiatives to celebrate Canberra's 100th birthday is the expected completion this year of the Centenary Trail, a 140-kilometre self-guided trail designed for both walkers and cyclists which will showcase many of the natural areas and iconic landmarks close to suburbia. Although the trail will predominantly utilise many existing tracks, the construction of a number of new stretches, especially near our northern border, are still in progress.
However, the lack of a complete trail hasn't stopped at least one local walking group from jumping the gun (or, more accurately, firing an eco-friendly, foot-powered, non-flammable rocket) and stepping-out in style (well, OK in floppy hats and khaki trousers) along a part of the trail.
''We decided one of our earliest walks for 2013 should celebrate the centenary,'' says Maureen Blackmore, spokesperson for ACT Walking for Pleasure Inc, an eclectic bunch of ramblers who recently braved the heat to trek the section from Red Hill to Hackett via the Parliamentary Triangle, Anzac Parade and Mount Ainslie.
I just hope there weren't any bird-watchers in Maureen's motley crew of 20-odd walkers because my hiking insiders tell me that the rocket launch was followed by such a raucous rendition of ''Happy Birthday to Canberra'' that even ''an old deaf cockatoo fled the scene in a frenzied flap''.
The Centenary Trail isn't expected to officially open until mid-year, but rest assured this column will provide regular updates on its progress.

It was 42 years ago today (July 3rd, 1971) that Jim Morrison was found dead in the bathtub of his apartment in Paris, France by his longtime companion, Pamela Courson. The local coroner ruled the official cause of death for the 27-year-old Doors frontman as "heart attack induced by respiratory problems." Morrison was buried in Paris's Pere Lachaise Cemetery on July 9th of that year.
On May 20th, 2013, Morrison's closest musical ally, and most fervent supporter, bandmate Ray Manzarek, died at age 74 in Rosenheim, Germany at the RoMed Clinic following a long battle with bile duct cancer.

This is a cool idea. I think it fits right in with the spirit of the challenge.
"We're the Malvagios. We own this neighbourhood."
Southwest of the palazzos and villas where the children of the ruling elite indulge their hedonism, north of the canals that bring goods to the Commercio district, and just past the quieter end of the bustling Piazza Mercato where the city trades its goods lies the Vicinato Spavento, a quiet little neighbourhood of closed doors and shuttered windows. A few citizens of the city know this as a place to come to get things that can't be found anywhere else. Farina Malvagio sells bread and pastries that rival anything the nobles are eating. A few of her special customers know about the back room and the small but expensive "spices" she sells there. What makes her flour so wonderful? Old Cibo Malvagio's shop usually has good cuts of meat at surprising prices and if you come after dark he might be able to dispose of some spoiled meat for you. Off the main road the more daring visitors find Tesoro Malvagio's Banco which always seems to have the most interesting and rare trinkets on its tables. No point in asking where they come from, Tesoro never tells. Those with more secretive needs might find the Sicarios nearby, a close-knit band of Malvagio brothers and sisters who can make particular sorts of problems disappear. Permanently.
Not long ago the Magistrate Avaro, concerned that some of his own missing property might be for sale at Tesoro's, sent his personal guard in to the neighbourhood to take back what was his. Sadly Avaro has fallen on hard times lately, and his guards have not been seen since the night they took their swords to Vicinato Spavento.
I might be pushing the rules for this challenge a bit, so if a family with criminal leanings doesn't fit the bill, do let me know. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to try out some mapping techniques that I need to get sorted.
This is just my rough layout in Illustrator before I start pulling layers over to Photoshop to make it look like something. I also get to try out one of my variant cobblestone brushes!

This is a cool idea. I think it fits right in with the spirit of the challenge.
I'm pretty embarrassed but I managed to get the month wrong. This was supposed to be an entry for the current challenge. I really tried very hard to get everything right in my post. Probably I tried too hard! Not sure if it can be changed, but either way, I'll keep working on it!
No worries, one of the CL's can change the title for you. Keep at it, this is interesting.
Shows how observant I am; I didn't even notice the month...
Not much has changed, but a little progress on the tiles. I really did myself in trying to have a bunch of narrow streets that also change elevation. Well, this was supposed to be a learning experience and I'm learning that sometimes simple is good!
PS: If a kindly soul could fix my embarrassing mistake with the months in the post title I would be ever so grateful!
Looking good! I really like that brick pattern in the streets. Although, was it intentional to have the canal water show through?
I changed the thread title, but it only shows as changed for me in the thread itself, not on the main subforum menu... *runs to get help from big brother CLs*
edit: never mind. Figured it out.

Making bits of progress here and there. Ideally this map would have a bunch of different levels, but I'm going to try to get all the important things onto one flat plane that represents two height levels. The section of the map north of the main street is mostly one level above that street, inspired by old cities that followed existing geography rather than flattening everything for more regular building.
Looking good

Jean de Mesmaeker, better known under the pseudonym Jidéhem, is best known for the lovely 'Sophie' series and his contributions to the 'Gaston Lagaffe' series. He made his debut at the age of 19 in Fernand Cheneval's Héroïc Albums with the detective series 'Ginger', that appeared from 1954 to 1956. When the magazine folded, Jidéhem tried his luck with the publishing house Dupuis and its magazine Spirou.
He became André Franquin's assistant in his atelier in the Avenue du Brésil in Brussels. He did the backgrounds on 'Spirou et Fantasio' from 1957. He also joined Franquin in the creation of the hilarious anti-hero 'Gaston Lagaffe'. Jidéhem did most of the artwork on the initial "half page" gags, until Franquin took over all the artwork in 1968. Jidéhem's father was the inspiration for one of the most legendary characters of the 'Gaston' series: the ill-tempered businessman De Mesmaeker, who always came to the offices to sign papers but always left in a rage.
In 1960 he was present in the advertising mini-comic Bonux-Boy with 'Joseph Tripotté', about a collector of oldtimers.
Jidéhem's talent for detailed technical drawings came out especially through his illustrations for Spirou's automobile section 'Starter', which he took over from Franquin in 1958. He used the 'Starter' character as the title hero of a comics series in 1959, when Starter made his appearance in the centrefolded mini-book 'La Révolte des Autos'. More stories followed, but the secondary 'Sophie' character soon replaced Starter as the hero of the comic.
From then on, Jidéhem drew numerous long and short adventures of 'Sophie' for Spirou until the early 1990s. In the early 1980s, he additionally restarted the semi-realistic 'Ginger' comic. He also did the backgrounds for two episodes of the 'Natacha' series by François Walthéry in the 1980s. Between 1990 and 1993, he drew some 'Chansons Cochonnes' for Éditions Top Game, and illustrated some chronicals in Auto Journal. Jidéhem drew one final 'Ginger' book for Éditions Joker in 2000.

In response to Muzwell's comment:
Re Pollard, he's the football equivalent of Mike Torrez, for those who go back a few years. Right place, right time, marginal talent. Cashed in with the team he beat and lost a lot of ballgames after that.
It's taken me 34 Years to try to forget Torrez giving up a Three Run Home Run to Bucky Fc---ing Dent in the 1978 Play Off Game against the Yankees. I think the Red Sox also gave up a 14 Game Lead in late August of that year as well. Thanks for bringing it up. :)
Pollard - No Way. I've seen a lot of bi--ch-ting and complaining in this board about the Pats and Free Agency and I'm glad some of these people arent making personell decisions. I'm also trying to figure out what teams have won the Super Bowl after signing the biggest names for the biggest money in March? If anybody knows, please enlighten me.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — At least if Miley Cyrus' rear end is shaking like crazy on "New Year's Rockin' Eve," she can blame it on the cold weather in New York's Times Square.
She will be among the performers on the ABC New Year's Eve show — along with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Blondie and Icona Pop.
Ryan Seacrest will host the show in New York, with Fergie holding things down on the West Coast.
Also due to perform are Robin Thicke, Jennifer Hudson, Daughtry and Jason Derulo.

An odd question perhaps. I have an interface that allows external manipulation of zimbraAccountStatus, which works OK.
I noticed that some status values, eg. lockout or maintenance might be set by ZCS and also cleared, does this imply that ZCS is remembering the previous state when temporarily applying maintenance?
What happens if the external interface tries to set zimbraAccountStatus while the account is in maintenance or lockout?
I have a lifecycle in mind where accounts are pending -> active -> closed (then finally deleted) but there seems a possibility of race conditions if an external system is trying to set these values on an account. What would happen, would my modifyAccount return an exception?
How can I test this interface and assure myself the race conditions aren't a problem?

I'm having a bit of an issue with the admin console.
The set up I have is as follows:
Zimbra 4.5.5 on suse10 set up as an edge server, runs MTA, logger, virus and spam filters
Zimbra 4.5.5 on suse10 running everything else (i.e. LDAP, mailbox, etc)
edge server connects to LDAP on main server.
When I access the admin console on the main server i get the following message:
Message: Csfe service error
Error code: service.PROXY_ERROR
Method: ZmCsfeCommand.invoke
Details:error while proxying request to target server (url=https://my.server.com:7071/service/admin/soap/): Connection refused
server name changed to protect the innocent
Anyone got any ideas? I have trawled through the forums to no avail (probably using the wrong search criteria!) This is the only thing stopping me from going live with this now.

Firebird Door Skin - Reskin Your DoorWritten by on November 7, 2005 With A Welder, A Couple Of Handtools, And A Fresh New Panel, You Too Can Reskin Your Door.
Hey, sometimes stuff happens, especially to doors. Years of dorks parking their "useful transportation" too close and just plain drilling their car directly into your panels requires a new skill set, namely, doorskin repair. It's a lot easier than you think, so follow along as we cut and weld our way to a straight body using a brand-new '67 Firebird panel from Goodmark.

We began by removing the interior parts from the door, including the handle, window crank, armrest, and the door panel itself. This allows access to the inside of the door where you can remove the window glass, lock, and handle.A track assembly retains the window glass. Remove the two window stops, then unscrew the flange from the track at the bottom. The glass (with the flange still attached) can now be removed.Pulling door-hinge bolts can be impossible with conventional box-end wrenches and ratchets. You can purchase a set of S-shaped wrenches from your local auto parts store for $10-$20. Now's a great time to rebuild or replace bad hinges. Both Goodmark and Rick's First Generation offer replacement and rebuild components.The doorskin comes off next. Remove the flanges on the sides and bottom of the door using an electric angle grinder or an air-powered rotary sander/die grinder.Grind with a back and forth motion until you see a separation between the skin and the door flange. Eventually some areas will start to pop up and the skin will separate from the frame.Now remove the concealed spot-weld on the inside of the door near the latch assembly with a metal chisel or a drill. You might have to also remove the spot-welded braces at the top of the door using a flat cutoff wheel or the edge of your grinder. Cut the outermost skin side of the braces to allow the most material to work with when you attach the new skin.With the old doorskin shed, inspect the frame for rust. A wire wheel and a good rust-adhering coating like POR-15 and some paint works well for repairs. Now remove the remaining flange strips. You can break the spot welds with a metal chisel. If you run into a stubborn weld, you can drill it out. Be careful not to distort the perimeter of the doorframe, which will make finishing the doorskin tough.Place the new doorskin on a clean shop blanket and inspect it for damage. Most mail-order companies will not take something back once you've signed for it.Center the skin over the doorframe and begin folding the new flange around it by using a hammer and dolly. It helps to pad the dolly or to use one made of rubber. Start in the center of each side and work toward the outside in each direction. Don't hammer the flange flat in one pass. Instead, gradually flatten the flange with three or four passes.
Temporarily reinstall the door on the car to check for a proper fit and to permanently secure the skin to the frame. Once the door is hung, align it so it closes properly and the gaps line up as they should. The doorskin won't move much, but there will be some play for adjustment. Adjust as you see fit by tapping on the edge of the skin with a block of wood and a small hammer. This slides the skin on the frame.If you have a vent window, you will want to trial-fit its frame and adjust the frame-to-skin gap. You can use a dial caliper to measure the desired distance. Adjust the gap by either pushing out or pulling the doorframe and skin together. You can use a strap around the door to hold the gap in while you work. The two upper braces on the new skin will overlap the old braces attached to the doorframe. Once the desired gap is held in place, drill a hole and insert a sheetmetal screw in each brace. If you need to make further adjustments, you can drill the top hole bigger, then when you break through, switch to a smaller bit. This allows you to loosen the screws and reposition them. When you're ready, tighten the screws to secure the braces.Once you're satisfied with the fit, permanently secure the new doorskin to the frame by welding the flange every 4 to 6 inches. Check the door's alignment after every weld to make sure it didn't shift. If you have problems with burning the material even though your welder is set as low as it will go, try increasing your wire-feed speed and weld in short bursts until your tack is a satisfactory size. Keep in mind that the cleaner and flatter the weld is, the less cleanup you will have to do later. Once the welding is complete, use an angle grinder to finish the welds along with a thin bead of seam sealer to keep the rain out. You may now sand and prep for paint as needed.Reassembling the door is the reverse of disassembly except for one detail. You will need to drill a new hole for the sheetmetal screw that runs between the doorframes, through a hole in the vent window support (if needed), and into the lip of the new doorskin. Once the door has been fully assembled, check for proper alignment. In some cases, the door may sag a little more because of the hardware and glass weight. Adjust your door, and you're ready for final bodywork and paint.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly looked intently into the eyes of Jared Loughner in a courtroom Thursday and left him this message: "You tried to create a world as dark and evil as your own. Remember this: You failed."
Those were the words of Mark Kelly, who spoke for Giffords at Thursday's sentencing of the man who killed six and wounded 13 during a brutal shooting 2011 shooting spree in a supermarket parking lot near Tucson.
Loughner was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences and 140 years.
Kelly was among a large group of Loughner's victims who spoke at the hearing before the judge formally imposed a sentence on Loughner.
Kelly and Giffords approached the podium together. Giffords, wearing a green blouse and sporting shoulder length blonde hair, gazed intently at Loughner as Kelly, speaking for her, told the shooter, "Gabby would trade her own life for one you took on that day."
"Every day is a continuous struggle to do the things she was once so very good at," Kelly said. He also told Loughner, "By making death and producing tragedy you sought to diminish the beauty of life."
The drama was intense as victims each took a turn testifying at the hearing.
The courtroom filled quickly for Thursday's 10 a.m. hearing, at which Loughner, 24, was sentenced for the shootings. A long line formed early Thursday to enter the William D. Browning Special Proceedings Room at the Evo A. DeConcini federal courthouse. Some of those attending had been in line since 6 a.m.
The first to take the stand once sentencing began was Christina Pietz, Loughner's prison psychologist, who told the court she interacts daily with Loughner. She said his mental health is steadily improving and she believed him to be competent to understand the proceedings against him and to proceed with sentencing despite his mental illness.
As Pietz spoke, Loughner stared down at the table before him. Though he had a legal right to address the court, Loughner declined to make a statement.
As Judge Larry Burns began to impose the sentence, Giffords stared intently at Loughner.
The first witness to testify was Patricia Maisch, who said the mental health system had failed and that true justice in Loughner's case was impossible. Loughner's parents sobbed as she spoke.
"I need him to know where he is and why -- to remember every day what he did and the horror he set loose," Maisch said.
As Maisch spoke, Giffords was seen rising and leaving the courtroom.
One after another, victims took the stand to tell Loughner the damage he had done to their families and their lives. The fiancee of Gabe Zimmerman, who was killed in the melee, spoke of raising their daughter alone.
Susan Hileman, who was shot three times, looked directly at Loughner as she told him, "You turned a civics lesson into a nightmare."
Mavy Stoddard, whose husband was killed, looked directly at Loughner as she told him: " Jared you ruined my whole life." She recounted how her husband died in her arms, and told Loughner, "You gave him no chance."
"You took away my life ... And my reason for living. And you did this because you wanted to," Stoddard told the shooter. But then, she added, "I forgive you."
Ron Barber, a Giffords staffer, told Loughner, "That was a day that shocked our community and broke our hearts," but that he continues to be inspired by Giffords' recovery from a catastrophic head wound.
"You did not take away her determination, compassion and will to serve," Barber said.
Pam Simon, another former Giffords' aide who shot in chest, told the court, "I want this to be over. I came here seeking peace." She told Loughner she knew he did not seek his mental illness, and that she had learned from the tragedy.
"I have been humbled and inspired by the strength and determination of other survivors," Simon said.
The mood was solemn as victims and their families were escorted into the courtroom for sentencing, which will bring the federal case to a close. Also seated in the front row of the courtroom were Loughner's parents.
Under terms of a plea agreement hammered out by prosecutors and defense attorneys in August, Loughner will spend the rest of his life in prison - most likely in a federal prison psychiatric ward.
Loughner attorney Judy Clarke said there would be no surprises at the Thursday sentencing.
Loughner pleaded guilty earlier this year to the Jan. 8, 2011, shootings in a supermarket parking lot north of Tucson. Giffords was holding a meet-and-greet there when Loughner opened fire with a 9mm Glock 19 pistol.
Giffords was shot in the head. She survived but eventually resigned her seat because of her injuries.
Earlier this year, Loughner pleaded guilty to two counts of murder of a federal employee and four counts of causing the death of a person at a federally sponsored event. The charges were for killing:
-- John Roll, 63, presiding U.S. District Court judge for Arizona.
-- Gabe Zimmerman, 30, one of Giffords' staffers.
-- Christina-Taylor Green, a 9-year-old attending Giffords' event with an adult neighbor.
-- Dorwan Stoddard, 76; Dorothy Morris, 76; and Phyllis Schneck, 79, three retirees at the event.
Loughner also pleaded guilty to attempted assassination of a member of Congress for shooting Giffords, and various counts of attempted murder and injuring a person at a federal event.
In addition to Giffords, the wounded were Mavy Stoddard (Dorwan's wife); George Morris (Dorothy's husband); Susan Hileman (Christina-Taylor's neighbor); Ron Barber, a Giffords staffer who filled her congressional seat; Pam Simon, another Giffords staffer; and event attendees Bill Badger, Kenneth Dorushka, Eric Fuller, Randy Gardner, Mary Reed, James Tucker and Kenneth Veeder.
Sentencing hearings usually provide a chance for victims to speak their minds. Kelly is expected to address the court on Giffords' behalf.
Loughner and his parents and friends will also have a chance to address the court.
Afterward, John Leonardo, U.S. attorney for the District of Arizona, has indicated he and some of the victims of the shooting will hold a news conference.
However, Loughner could still be tried for murder and other crimes in Arizona state court. Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall has not yet said whether she will exercise that option.

Interdisciplinary Studies Programs
Our mission is to offer interdisciplinary programs and courses that provide students with the tools for academic success and the flexibility to design a degree path that enhances their learning experiences and career opportunities.
Interdisciplinary Study means to explore emerging relationships between several fields. Within one emphasis area, students seek out courses that can better prepare them for answering future questions that cannot be satisfactorily addressed using single methods or linear disciplinary approaches. By concentrating on related areas of study combined with personal interests or prior experience, each individual can realize significant overlaps of integration with new understanding.
Definitions of "interdisciplinary studies" vary. In his book Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies (the adopted text for core IDST courses at WKU), scholar Allen Repko offers this integrated definition:
"Interdisciplinary studies is a cognitive process by which individuals or groups draw upon disciplinary perspectives and integrate their insights and modes of thinking to advance their understanding of a complex problem with the goal of applying the understanding to a real-world problem" (28).

"The Ultimate Fighter 10" veteran James McSweeney applauds Travis Browne's managers, but the Brit thinks they made a big mistake when they agreed on him as their client's first UFC opponent.
"When I first saw his record, I was like, 'Wow, this guy's got a good pedigree,'" McSweeney told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "But once [my team] sat down at looked at his tapes, we started looking at who he's fought. He hasn't fought anybody with more than two fights. His management team has looked after him very well."
McSweeney (4-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Browne (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) face off at The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale on June 19 in Las Vegas.
McSweeney, a former kickboxer with hundreds of standup fights to his credit, said Browne is "a highlight reel waiting to happen."
The U.K. native defeated his first two opponents on "TUF 10" before a wrestling deficit was exposed by show winner Roy Nelson in the semifinals. In his first post-"TUF" bout, he broke his hand in a fight against fellow "TUF" alum Darrill Schoonover but managed to pull out a third-round TKO victory.
Doctors put McSweeney's hand back together with pins and plates and told him to take it easy. In the meantime, he kept his cardio in check and eventually set out to add bulk to the 220-pound frame he sported on the show.
He also hit the mats at Grudge Training Center, his new home gym in Denver, Colo. Without the ability to grapple, he would never get the chance to keep a fight on its feet.
He's now 245 pounds courtesy of a new powerlifting and wrestling regimen. The result, he said, is a fighter with twice the knockout power.
"What people don't realize (is that) in my whole Thai boxing career and my K-1 career, I knocked a lot of people out," McSweeney said. "It's going to happen in my MMA career as well. Now I've got smaller gloves and I'm confident in my wrestling, (and) I can sit on my strikes."
That might come in handy for Browne, a 6-foot-7, 250-pound behemoth with six first-round stoppages on his ledger, including a knockout of "TUF 10" veteran Abe Wagner. On several YouTube clips, the newcomer comes out guns blazing. His opponents quickly wilt.
The clips caught the UFC's attention and got Browne a shot at the big time. But look closer, says the "TUF" veteran.
"He hasn't fought anybody that's over 220 pounds," McSweeney said. "He hasn't fought a true heavyweight or anyone that I could see that has a good pedigree.
"Usually, the guys he's fighting are so inexperienced or so small they back away into a straight right, hit the cage, and he just jumps on them swinging like street punches, and the referee stops the fight."
McSweeney is not arrogant enough to think Browne isn't a serious threat. He's just not going to buy into the hype.
"With my caliber of standup fighting, that ain't going to work," he said. "I welcome that kind of interest in the fight. If he wants to try to take my head off in the first round, good luck to him.
"He would be far more dangerous to me if he had some sort of ground game or if he was an OK striker."
Has the UFC thrown Browne to the wolves, or is it the other way around?
"You can look at it two ways: they've underestimated me, or you could say maybe they're giving me a nice fight to welcome me to the UFC," McSweeney said. "Depends on how you want to look at it. Right now, how I see it, right now I'm concentrating on my opponent.
"I never underestimate my opponent. He's got zero to lose."

Video: Extended Interview: Bike Shop Owner Michael Butchke
Video: Extended Interview: CancerPatient Mary Dolbashian
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- On the streets of downtown D.C., only one of the several people expressed surprise that cycling superstar Lance Armstrong admitted that he doped during his Tour de France victories.
In Silver Spring, Md., Michael Butchke declared that he wasn't mad at Lance.
Butchke is President of the Bicycle Place which became one of several local hubs of cycling activity as Armstrong was climbing to rock star status.
Unlike a lot of his friends, Butchke believes Armstrong won all those races not merely because of the PED but because he was a far superior athlete.
He came to suspect that Armstrong was cheating, much like "pro football and baseball players and wrestlers." Butchke's counting on Armstrong's admission to help begin the process of cleaning up professional cycling.
In the District, Mary Dolbashian, a hair stylist and breast cancer survivor, insists that Armstrong is a hero. "Who hasn't lied?" she said.
Dolbashian points out that Armstrong is also a cancer survivor who raised $500 million for cancer research.
Despite his admission that he cheated, then lied repeatedly about his doping, Mary, isn't mad at Lance either.

January 23, 2013 by Julie Montanaro
Some new troopers are hitting the streets in Florida and they have very powerful noses.
Nine K-9's - and their handlers - graduated today and will soon be on duty with the Florida Highway Patrol.
The teams got their diplomas after 800 hours of training in human tracking, drug sniffing and search and rescue.
"They each have to have confidence in one another and be able to anticipate not only what the dog's going to do, but what the handler wants the dog to do. So they're lifelong partners from this point forward and it is quite a bond that they have between the two of them," Major Mark Brown said.
The german shepherds are heading to troops across the state. The closest? Oliver and Blek are taking their super sniffers and wagging tails to Lake City.

Through the Development Credit Authority (DCA), USAID provides partial credit guarantees to mobilize local financing in developing countries. Guarantee agreements encourage private lenders to extend financing to underserved borrowers in new sectors and regions. USAID/Afghanistan has two DCA activities: a $13.75 million Portable Guarantee for three microfinance institutions (MFIs), FINCA Afghanistan, OXUS Afghanistan, and First MicroFinance Bank Afghanistan, and a $10.3 million Loan Portfolio Guarantee with Afghanistan International Bank (AIB).
The Portable Guarantee was signed in September 2014 and ends in September 2020. The three microfinance institutions will use the guarantee to secure loans from larger lenders. The proceeds from the loans will be used for onward lending by the MFIs to micro and small businesses in Afghanistan.
The Loan Portfolio Guarantee was signed in September 2012 and ends in September 2020. The guarantee helps mitigate risk for AIB and facilitates the bank's lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The guarantee will help AIB to offer longer-term loans to productive businesses requiring credit for capital expenditures. The guarantee also helps AIB to expand SME lending.
- Mobilization of more than $24 million in private capital through the two DCAs, including $13.75 million in local currency credit to MFIs operating in Afghanistan through the Portable Guarantee and $10.3 million in loans to SMEs through the Loan Portfolio Guarantee.
- Continuation of commercial banks' offering of non-guaranteed loans to MFIs after the Portable Guarantee ends.
- Incentivizing other commercial banks to lend to MFIs and encouraging other MFIs to seek commercial loans from banks.
- Expansion of AIB's SME loan portfolio and continuation of the bank's lending to the sector after the Loan Portfolio Guarantee ends.
- Demonstrate the potential of SME lending to other banks.
- Increased financial inclusion through increased lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
