Plovdiv : Michelin's recommendations
Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second most important city, appeals to visitors on account of its original layout. Split into two by the famous River Marica, it comprises 6 steep granite hills. From its prestigious past, it has retained fine relics of the Thracian civilisation, as well as Roman monuments, old Turkish mosques and above all an exceptional group of houses built at the time of the National Awakening. A tour of its historic centre, on Unesco's World Heritage list, offers a delightful experience.

Delivering aid to displaced Syrians increasingly hazardous, says UN refugee agency

|UN News Service, Delivering aid to displaced Syrians increasingly hazardous, says UN refugee agency, 13 November 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/50a6235d2.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The United Nations refugee agency said today that the violence throughout Syria is making the delivery of vital supplies to displaced people increasingly hazardous, while, beyond the Middle Eastern nation's borders, the number of Syrian refugees continues to climb.
Addressing journalists in Geneva today, a spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Melissa Fleming, said the agency had delivered aid packages to 59,000 families, thereby helping 295,000 people.
"The emergency packages contain non-food humanitarian supplies ranging from blankets and clothing to cooking kits and jerry cans," Ms. Fleming said. "These are aimed at helping families meet basic needs during the coming winter."
Ms. Fleming also highlighted the rising challenges faced by UNHCR's 350 Syria-based staffers, who operate from offices in the capital, Damascus, Aleppo in the northwest, and Hassakeh in the northeast.
"Unfortunately, recent deliveries have been very difficult," Ms. Fleming said. "Last week, humanitarian operations were disrupted on at least two days in Damascus because of insecurity,"
She added, "Similar difficulties were experienced by staff working in Aleppo, and we are temporarily withdrawing staff from north-eastern Hassakeh governorate."
UNHCR aims to provide aid to 500,000 internally displaced Syrians by the end of the year, amid the violence that UN estimates say has killed at least 20,000 people, mostly civilians, since an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began some 20 months ago, and rendered some 2.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
The refugee agency is also committed to helping Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries, where the number those who are registered or awaiting registry has now reached 407,000, and, said Ms. Fleming, "continues to climb."
Amongst the challenges faced by UNHCR and its partners in Syria is the danger posed by the ongoing violence – hostile actions in recent days have led to the loss of large numbers of blankets destined for Syrians driven from their homes by fighting.
Ms. Fleming said 13,000 blankets burned when a mortar shell struck the Syrian Red Crescent-owned warehouse storing them in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, and the scene of intense fighting over many months.
She added that "unknown people" hijacked a truck carrying another 600 blankets to Adra, a town on the outskirts of Damascus. Despite the challenges and setbacks, Ms. Fleming said "progress has been made."
"Yesterday, we were able to deliver nearly 5,000 mattresses and 500 hygiene kits to Aleppo, Hassakeh and Adra," she said. "We also continue with the provision of education materials and cash assistance for families."
According to Ms. Fleming, UNHCR gave individual school kits to 10,500 displaced children in Hassakeh, while almost 12,100 displaced families in a section of Rural Damascus and in Hassakeh Governorate received an allowance of $150 per family.
The UNHCR spokeswoman warned that that current refugee counts would climb as "tens of thousands" of Syrians who've fled their homeland present themselves for registration and assistance.
"Many are expected to come forward... in the coming weeks, as winter sets in, and their resources run out," she said.
New arrivals have crossed the borders into Turkey, Jordan and Iraq, though the influx of displaced Syrians into Lebanon "remains stable," Ms. Fleming noted, adding that work was underway in several refugee camps to improve conditions and prepare for winter.
In Turkey, an estimated 115,000 Syrians were in 14 government-run camps, with another 60,000-70,000 believed to be living "on the local economy," Ms. Fleming said.
She highlighted that the arrival of 4,045 new refugees in Jordan last week marked the "highest weekly total" since 1 September for that country. The influx brought the number of refugees registered or awaiting registration in Jordan to more than 116,000, while more than 70 percent were living on the local economy.
Syrian Kurds made up most of the 3,171 new arrivals in Iraq's northern Kurdistan region in the week before 7 November, Ms. Fleming noted. Some 50,000 Syrian refugees were now in Iraq.
In Lebanon, UNHCR is stepping up its efforts to register refugees, dispatching mobile teams to reach people in remote areas, Ms. Fleming said. A total of 118,633 are now registered, or awaiting registration.
Separately, in Lebanon, the UN Special Coordinator for the country, Derek Plumbly, today paid tribute to UNHCR's work in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city, which he visited today.
After meeting with political leaders and the Mufti of Tripoli and the North, Sheikh Malek El-Shaar, Mr. Plumbly said in remarks to the media that he "welcomed the recent calm in the city," but also stressed the responsibility of "all concerned" to avoid a return to violence.
The conflict in Syria recently re-ignited political and sectarian violence in the city, according to media reports.

Goto'ing a Super Polaris mount
Posted 14 June 2008 - 10:35 AM
I have one of the original Skysensors, but thankfully not the first edition with the oscillations visible at planetary magnifications - mine is very solid and smooth.
But the old Skysensor can't be autoguided, and though mine works fine, it really draws a lot of power so it isn't practical for use in the field.
I thought about upgrading to a SS2K, but they were expensive when they were still available, and I worry about them becoming obsolete now that they're not.
I haven't seen an Autostar mod that looked "neat" enough to make me want to replace the old Skysensor with (sorry to those who prefer that option).
Can the Starbook S be adapted to the SP mount? (the ads say GP only). I could do some machining, if needed, and would be willing if I can make the conversion reasonably "tidy."
If not, I could just leave it alone and use an inverter from AC power to run it (have done that before). I do have a couple of Tak mounts, but it would be nice to have something I can leave at our dark sky vacation home and just haul cameras and computers back and forth.

Next thing I'm going to have to finish is the adapter I'm machining to mount the SP on a Quickset Hercules I found cheap to replace the original wood tripod.
Then, it's a dovetal saddle, so i can put different tubes on it. That mount ought to be ideal for a couple of Jaegerses I have - a 6" f/5 and a 5" f/6.

The GOTONOVA impressed me so much that I bought one and then later became a dealer! I have it installed on an old CG-5 and it's great. I don't do AP though, just visual.
Posted 16 June 2008 - 11:29 AM
I would think that one of these upgrades to a SP mount ought to be great for astrophotography. A few years back, I used Astro IIDC and a firewire camera to measure the periodic error on my functioning mounts, and though the PE on the SP is around 20 arc seconds, it's very smooth and easy to correct out. I would think that PEC software would work quite happily with it.
But I still wonder... The gotonova doesn't specifically list the SP as compatible, just the GP. Which is what the Vixen specs for the Starbook S also say. I suppose if it were compatible, I might slightly prefer the Starbook - to keep it "all Vixen" and to have that cool display and not need a computer if I don't want to haul one along. But it is about twice the price, to be sure.
Do you have pix of your installation?
Posted 16 June 2008 - 12:05 PM
I went to the AWR website, and they also list the Gotonova, only at UK prices.
Posted 16 June 2008 - 08:33 PM
The major difference between the SP and GP are the way that the OTA mounts and the method of attaching the DEC motor. I have not taken pictures of everything. However, I have taken pictures of the CG-5 installation. That is a closer match to the GP than to the SP for the above mentioned reasons. Can it be adapted to fit? Most likely. Have I personally done this to a SP? Not yet. I'm just waiting for the chance to do so.
The Star Book is cute, but, it no matter what is done to it, or any laptop, they are too bright for me to use and keep my night vision. I don't even like the brightness of the hand controllers, but, they are certainly less bright than any type of computer.
Posted 16 June 2008 - 11:39 PM
I would call vixen optics and see if the starbook will fit. If it does then the owthers will.
Posted 17 June 2008 - 11:13 AM
I thought about upgrading to a SS2K, which I understood required no modifications, but the price was always too high. Considering the old Skysensor works fine (just sucks my battery dry, so I run it off an inverter at home), and is sufficient for planetary imaging, I didn't feel compelled to spend so much to upgrade the mount.
Also, I bought a couple of Tak mounts (an NJP and an EM-10) a few years ago. They're amazingly accurate, so the poor old SP has been sitting in my shop. I'd like to revive it, though, as it was always an easy mount to image with, and maybe I could keep it at our dark sky vacation home and not have to haul too much back and forth every trip.
Posted 18 June 2008 - 11:38 AM
I don't know whether that means the gearing isn't compatible or if it's "just" that the mounting isn't compatible (but possibly modifiable).
So, I'm really curious about whether anybody has tried to put a GotoNova on a Super Polaris mount? Because their web page says the same thing as the Starbook specs - that it's compatible with the GP mounts.
I suppose I could stick with the original Skysensor. It does work!
Posted 18 June 2008 - 10:28 PM
Vixen makes two versions of the Star Book as I understand it. The one on the Spinx and new GEMS uses the color screen, but the ones on their less expensive mounts and the version used to retrofit the SP and GP series uses a monochrome screen. The buttons I believe are also different but the software is essentially the same. I have heard from several individuals that the software is not up to the standards it should be for a Vixen product.
I am not sure we will ever know whether the GotoNova will work on an SP until Steve Forbes get's a chance to convert one. If anyone can do it he can.
Posted 19 June 2008 - 12:08 AM
Thank you for the compliments. If someone would care to post a few GOOD pictures os the mount in question I should be able to answer this once and for all. The major difference of which I am aware is the way in which the DEC motor is mounted. The saddles are als different, but, that's not important.
Posted 19 June 2008 - 01:17 AM
I can take pix probably tomorrow evening or Friday if you need them.
I just did a search of old Astromart ads, and though there are a number of them pictured, I don't know for sure what angle you need the most.
Posted 19 June 2008 - 02:29 PM
One from the top and the side. Also one from the front would help. Once I can see where the factory motors were to be mounted I can give you a yes or no answer.
Vixen has so many different mounts that it is sometimes a bit hard to know exactly which model is which. LOL

ISU Begins Big 12 Play vs. Kansas, K-State
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State tennis team (8-5, 0-0 Big 12) is set to begin conference play this Friday against No. 35 Kansas (8-3, 0-0 Big 12). The Cyclones will finish out the weekend with their second conference match of the season against No. 52 Kansas State (6-5, 0-0 Big 12) on Sunday.
Last Friday, the Cyclones fought a tough match before falling 5-2 to Drake.
"Hopefully we'll use [the loss] as springboard for the Big 12," head coach Armando Espinosa said. "I think that the team is in good spirits and hopefully they'll gain some confidence."
Iowa State's biggest challenge this weekend will be doubles play, and the Cyclones are looking to make some significant changes.
"It's become pretty apparent that if we don't win the doubles point, then we won't win the match," Espinosa said. "So we will be looking at that for these upcoming matches against Kansas and Kansas State."
Kansas was defeated last Saturday, 6-1, by No. 19 Tulsa, while Kansas State upset then-No. 32 Wichita State, 4-3, in their fifth-straight home win.
Play is set to begin this Friday at 3 p.m. at Ames Racquet and Fitness Center.

Just curious was there any significant changes in LDAP between 3.0.0 and 3.1. Tried to do an upgrade last night (2 machines 1 dedicated spam filter) on the spam filter machine and it seemed everything went ok. But when i tried to email myself i was getting bouncebacks. A manual telnet to port 25 indicated it was accepting the email address as being valid and showed the message being queued however mins later i was getting bounce backs. The main mail store/ldap was on the other machine which the filter machine looks at that ldap. Even a full reinstalled of 3.1 from scratch was giving me the problem. However going back to 3.0.0 fixed the issue.
Did not upgrade second machine (ldap). Like to get delivery working first for trouble shooting purposes.

Item # EXP0019
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Headlights in stock than that.View Similar Products
Exposure Reflex MK1 $0.00
Pushing out 2200 Lumens, the Reflex Mk1 torch takes over as Exposure's flagship model. Lighter than the MaXx-D and brighter than the Six Pack, it's the light source high-speed night riding demands. Brightness is one aspect of a quality nightlight, and with two new technologies that build on Exposure's industry leading designs, the Reflex Mk1 aims to provide the ultimate night riding experience.
One of those new features is Reflex Technology. This game changer automatically adjusts the Mk1's power output to suit riding conditions. Remotes have helped prevent one-handed, hail-mary attempts at pressing mode buttons, but -- even with today's mega-wide bars -- handlebar real estate can be scarce. When the Reflex Mk1 leads the way, it senses g-forces and slope to respond with the proper brightness -- independent of rider input.
When ascending standard uphill grades, the Reflex drops power output to conserve juice in the 11600mAh Lithium ion battery. Once it senses acceleration or a downhill grade, the Reflex opens up the flood gates to unleash full candle power. This keeps your hands steering, and your eyes focused on the trail.
The other new feature found on the Reflex Mk1 is Exposure's Optimum Mode Selector. OMS offers 11 pre-programmed settings to provide the optimum lighting for ride conditions. After all, the requirements needed for a high-paced trail ride are quite different than 24hr race, or a week of commuting -- and OMS lets you custom tune the light for any of those conditions.
For example; in the first OMS setting, the Mk1 will push 2200 Lumens and will automatically switch between 410 Lumens depending on its surroundings. This setting will last 3 hours worst case, 12 best. It's safe to assume you'll enjoy 4-5 hours of light in this mode. There are two more automatic modes that reduce both the highest and lowest outputs for even longer battery life (6 - 24hrs, 12 to 36hrs).
If you want to forgo the automatic feature, there are eight more OMS modes that offer varying high, medium, and low settings for any cycling condition from commuting to 24-hour racing. The OMS modes are selected using the power button located on the back of the unit. A new digital display offers accurate feedback of battery life and easy navigation of OMS.
The Reflex Mk1, like all Exposure lights, is constructed from aerospace grade aluminum -- not just because it's durable and light -- but also because aluminum helps disperse heat. As do the CNC-machined fins around the front bezel, which houses the three XML LEDs and high-tech resin lens. This helps keep the internals cool by transferring heat to the atmosphere and not the lamp itself.
Further protecting the inner workings, is Exposure's patented Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM). If the internal temperature gets too high, ITM kicks in and automatically drops the power level down to the next lowest setting. It will remain at the lower setting until the temperature inside the housing returns within normal operating range. This, and the weatherproof housing, ensures the light's battery and LED bulbs are safe from moisture, muck, and heat for a long life span.
A defining Exposure feature found here on the Reflex Mk1 is Smart Port Technology Plus. Essentially, it's a cylindrical plug on the back of the lamp unit that allows you to insert the smart charger. But, it also enables you to plug in accessories like a red LED taillight, back-up batteries, a remote, or even to charge other USB-powered devices. It will automatically recognize each accessory and configure the system to take a charge or power accessory lights.
The Exposure Reflex Mk1 has a two year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Reviews & Community
First off, amazing CNC construction, making the light durable and attractive. The QR attachment to the bar is solid and easy to use, but does require an Allen key to adjust the angle on the bar which is slightly annoying. These are traits for all of the Exposure lights, the Reflex sets its self apart in technology and high amount of Lumen. The automatic light level adjustment based on speed quickly transitioned from slow speed climbs to steep descents. The light level always seemed appropriate and burn time did not leave me wanting. This is an expensive light, but if you are serious about night riding, well worth the money. -Brett C. firstname.lastname@example.com

Dear Campus Community Member,
In recent weeks, I hope you have seen billboards we have placed around the region highlighting our students and their many successes. In addition, we have changed our website to reflect our new marketing/branding campaign that began earlier this year. By focusing on such words as leadership, scholarship and internship we show some of the qualities that reflect the university and its role in the region and beyond.
The campaign is the result of work by the Integrated Marketing Committee as part of the strategic planning process to enhance the university's image and visibility within the region. It comes after much research, review and discussion by the committee that included representatives from numerous constituent groups from on and off campus. It also included work with a research and marketing firm that conducted extensive research and made recommendations.
During the process, the following general identity statement was developed: "Shippensburg University is a familiar, welcoming place with an entrepreneurial spirit whose finger is on the pulse of an evolving regional economy. Ship seeks to educate and prepare students for emerging industries and jobs that will strengthen our nation's economy."
One recommendation that was made is that the university have consistent look throughout its logo, word marks, publications and advertisements for continuity of image, brand and identity so individuals will be able to instantly recognize that we are Shippensburg. Based on that recommendation, the recommendation of the Integrated Marketing Committee and in conversations with various members of the university community, effective July 1, 2008, the university's official logo will be the red and blue ship. While we will continue to use the university seal on official documents such as diplomas and transcripts, the ship logo will be used on all other material. This logo truly represents the spirit and feeling that make Ship unique - boldly moving forward and changing at the same time we retain our traditions.
A key component of this change is implementation of a style manual that guides any and all usage of the logo by all members of the campus community. This guide is being finalized by the Office of University Communications and Marketing and is to be followed at all times. To ensure consistency of our image and appearance, all uses of the logo by any group, organization, office, etc. must be approved through the Office of Publications and Advertising. The manual will be online for easy access and contains approved logo uses, examples of what to do and what not to do, and other guidelines. It is important that these identifiers be used properly and only in approved ways so the university is represented appropriately at all times.
The marketing/branding campaign has already received many compliments and I look forward to continuing to showcase our many successes. Best wishes.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - He made a career of staring down opponents and getting past them with apparent ease, but Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett says he's certain he has CTE, degenerative brain disease.
It's proven to be a scary opponent until yesterday.
"I was in UCLA talking to some doctors there and come to find out they kind of feel it can be reversed," said Dorsett. "They know it can be slowed down, cut it off at the path."
The pride of Hopewell High, Pitt Panthers' legend, NFL Hall of Famer, husband and father says he is doing everything he is asked by his doctors.
"You can do things through diet, nutrition, pills, vitamins," said Dorsett. "I'm taking it day by day, but my quality of living is deteriorating, and is detonating as the days go by."
Dorsett says the aftermath of the game that gave him his legendary life is slowly taking his mental capabilities.
"Remembering people's names; I take my kids to practice for years, and all of a sudden, I don't know how to get there," Dorsett said. "Those kinds of things, it's very frustrating. It makes me mad; it's just a real frustrating thing I'm going through, but again, I'm trying to be proactive rather than inactive and trying to cut it off."

The New 16.2 Megapixel Nikon D4 Wields a Formidable Fusion of Swift Performance, Battle-Tested Technologies and Innovative New Features to Create High Caliber Photo and HD Multimedia Content
MELVILLE, N.Y. (Jan 5, 2012) – The new Nikon D4 digital SLR builds upon the legacy of the proven Nikon flagship D-SLRs before it, engineered to give today's professional multimedia photographers a new apex of speed and accuracy with unparalleled image quality, low-light capability and Full HD video. The Nikon D4 hosts a multitude of advanced new features and useful functions that deliver speedy performance and amazing image quality for when missing the shot is not an option.
Every aspect of the new Nikon D4 D-SLR has been designed to emphasize rapid response and seamless operation to help professional photographers consistently capture incredible content. Nikon's proven 51-point AF System has been further enhanced for maximum speed in a variety of challenging shooting situations, even at 10 frames per second (fps). Considered the new Nikon flagship, the D4 renders supreme image quality, a feat accomplished with a new 16.2-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, coupled with the latest generation of Nikon's EXPEED 3 image processing engine to help produce images and videos with stunning clarity and color. Photographers are also able to shoot in even the most challenging environments and lighting conditions with the assistance of Nikon's new 91,000-pixel 3D color matrix meter and a broad ISO range from 100 to a staggering 204,800 for low-light capture like never before. The Nikon D4 is engineered for the modern professional and incorporates never before seen HD-SLR video features for those who also need to capture multimedia content from the field.
"Speed without accuracy is irrelevant," said Bo Kajiwara, director of marketing, Nikon Inc. "The status of a Nikon flagship camera is not given lightly; this next generation of Nikon's most professional body exceeds the needs of a wide variety of both still and multimedia professionals that rely on Nikon to make their living. Besides overall performance and burst speed, the D4 provides Nikon's most advanced AF system to date, as well as enhanced workflow speed to give professionals the edge in the field."
Velocity Meets Versatility
Speed is a necessity for today's multimedia photographer as milliseconds matter when the action commences. Whether an assignment relies on fast processing power, burst rate, write speed, enhanced workflow or even streamlined camera controls, the D4 is the epitome of professional-caliber photographic horsepower. Ready to shoot in approximately 0.012 seconds, the new Nikon D4 can capture full resolution JPEG or RAW files at up to 10 fps with full AF / AE or up to 11 fps with AF / AE locked. Immediately before image capture, the camera interprets data from the AF sensor, including subject color as detected on the 91,000-pixel RGB sensor, to deliver consistently tack-sharp focus frame after frame. Whether a photographer is shooting a full-court fast break under gymnasium lighting or the downhill slalom in the bright sun and frigid temperatures, the D4 will instill the confidence with consistently great results.
The Advanced Multi-Cam 3500 AF autofocus system is the next generation of Nikon's proven 51-point AF system. The fully customizable system offers users the ability to capture fast moving subjects and track focus with precision or select a single AF point with pinpoint accuracy. The Nikon D4 D-SLR aligns 15 cross-type sensors in the center to detect contrast data in both vertical and horizontal planes. In addition to detecting each AF-NIKKOR lens with an aperture of f/5.6 or lower, the camera also utilizes nine cross-type sensors that are fully functional when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and TC14E or TC17E teleconverters or a single cross-type sensor when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and the TC20E teleconverter with an aperture value up to f/8, which is a great advantage to those shooting sports and wildlife. For maximum versatility in situations such as photographing nature from afar or competition from the sidelines, photographers are also able to select multiple AF modes, including normal, wide area, face tracking and subject tracking, to best suit the scene.
The Nikon D4 D-SLR also employs a new 91,000-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix metering system that meticulously analyzes each scene and recognizes factors such as color and brightness with unprecedented precision. This data is then interpreted and compared against D4's on-board database to implement various settings, resulting in vibrant images with faithful color reproduction and balanced exposure. In addition, this new AF sensor now has the ability to detect up to 16 human faces with startling accuracy, even when shooting through the optical viewfinder, allowing for correct exposure even when the subject is backlit. Additionally, to capture every brief moment from a bouquet toss to a photo finish under nearly any condition, the 51 focus points deliver fast and accurate detection down to a -2 EV with every AF-NIKKOR lens.
All of this image data is funneled through a 16 bit pipeline and are written to dual card slots which have been optimized for the latest UDMA-7 Compact Flash™ cards, as well as the new XQD™ memory card. The D4 is the first professional camera to harness the capabilities of this new durable and compact format, which offers blazing fast write times and extended capacity essential for multimedia professionals shooting stills and video.
Image Quality That Hits the Mark
The heart of the new D4 is the Nikon-developed 16.2-megapixel FX-format (35.9 x 24mm) CMOS sensor that provides amazing image quality, brilliant dynamic range and vivid colors in nearly any lighting condition. By achieving the optimal balance of resolution and sensor size, professional photographers will realize exceptionally sharp, clean and well saturated images throughout the entire ISO range.
Like the D3 and D3s before it, the Nikon D4 retains Nikon's status as the sovereign of low-light capture ability, with a native ISO range from 100 to 12,800 ISO, expandable from 50 (Lo-1) to an incredible yet usable 204,800 (Hi-4). From a candlelit first dance to nocturnal wildlife, the large 7.3µ pixel size absorbs the maximum amount of light to excel in any situation. Additionally, the sensor's construction features a gapless micro-lens structure and anti-reflective coating which further contributes to images that retain natural depth and tones with smooth color gradation. For ultimate versatility, photographers can also take advantage of the camera's extreme high ISO ability while recording video.
Another factor contributing to the camera's rapid performance and stellar image quality is Nikon's new EXPEED 3 image processing engine that helps professionals create images with amazing resolution, color and dynamic range in both still images and video. From image processing to transfer, the new engine is capable of processing massive amounts of data, exacting optimal color, perfect tonality and minimized noise throughout the frame.
There are also a variety of shooting options available to help capture the highest quality images and video. In addition to standard NEF (RAW) files, the D4 is also capable of shooting smaller compressed RAW files to ease storage and speed up workflow. Users are also able to capture even more dynamic range with the in-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) function that merges consecutive exposures. For deep contrast and further tonality, Active D-Lighting can also be activated during shooting for balanced exposures even in backlit scenes. Additionally, the camera features a dedicated button for quick access to Nikon's Picture Controls, allowing users to quickly select one of six presets.
Professional Multimedia Features
The Nikon D4 D-SLR is engineered with innovative new features for the multimedia professional that needs the small form factor, low-light ability and NIKKOR lens versatility that only an HD-SLR can offer. The new features add functionality for those professionals looking for the best possible experience to capture a moment in Full HD 1080p video at various frame rates, providing footage that is more than suitable for broadcast.
- Full HD video recording - Users have the choice of various resolutions and frame rates, including 1080p 30/24fps and 60 fps at 720p. By utilizing the B-Frame data compression method, users can record H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC format video with unmatched integrity for up to 20 minutes per clip. This format also allows for more accurate video data to be transferred requiring less memory capacity. The sensor reads image data at astoundingly fast rates, which results in less instances of rolling shutter distortion.
- Full manual control of exposure - Shutter speed, aperture and ISO can be changed while recording to adapt to lighting and alter depth of field for professional cinematic results that help realize a creative vision.
- Uncompressed output: simultaneous Live View - By using the camera's HDMI port instead of the CF or XQD card, users can stream an uncompressed full HD signal directly out of the camera. This footage can be ported into an LCD display or appropriate external recording device or routed through a monitor and then to the recording device, eliminating the need for multiple connections.
- Audio recording for professionals - The Nikon D4 features a stereo headphone jack for accurate monitoring of audio levels while recording. Output can be adjusted in up to 30 steps for precise audio adjustment. The D4 offers high-fidelity audio recording control with audio levels that can be set and monitored on the camera's LCD screen. The microphone connected via the stereo mic jack can also be adjusted with up to 20 steps of sensitivity for accurate sound reproduction.
- Multi-area Mode Full HD Video: FX/DX, and 2.7x crop mode at 1080p video modes - Whether shooting for depth of field in FX format mode, or looking for the extra 1.5X telephoto benefits of DX mode, the high resolution sensor of the D4 allows videographers to retain full 1080P HD resolution no matter what mode they choose. With the 2.7x crop, users can experience ultra-telephoto benefits in full HD resolution all at 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Simultaneous live view output without display / simultaneous monitor - Shooters have the option to send the display signal directly to an attached monitor via the HDMI port. This signal can be viewed on the camera's LCD screen and external monitor simultaneously. Additionally, the image data display can be cleared from the screen, to remove distracting data or when feeding a live signal.
- Full-time AF - In addition to manual focus, four modes are available, including normal, wide area, face detection and subject tracking, which uses fast contrast detect AF to accurately focus while recording video and in live view.
- New LCD screen - The large high resolution 3.2-inch LCD screen is 921K dots, and includes auto brightness adjustment. User's can also zoom in up to 46x to check critical HD focus.
- Time lapse shooting - This new feature combines a selected frame rate and "shooting interval" in a dedicated time lapse photography menu. Playback can be achieved with a wide variety of speeds from 24x to 36,000x while producing a fully finished movie file output for faster multimedia workflows.
- Remote shutter operation - Using dedicated Movie Custom Settings, recording can be set to be engaged by the shutter release button -users can now use a variety of remote accessories to trigger video recording.
- NIKKOR lens compatibility - The highest caliber optics are vital to creating HD images and Nikon is the world leader in optics manufacturing with a legacy spanning more than 75 years. Nikon has a vast NIKKOR lens system, with more than 50 lenses with a variety of focal lengths and features, including VR II vibration reduction.
Professional Construction, Superior Operability
The reputation and respect bestowed upon a Nikon D-Series flagship camera is earned from those who use it; therefore the chassis of the Nikon D4 is machined from magnesium alloy for maximum durability and reliability. The body of the camera is sealed and gasketed for resistance to dirt and moisture, as well as electromagnetic interference. Photographers are able to easily compose through the bright optical viewfinder, which offers 100% frame coverage. The shutter has been tested to withstand 400,000 cycles for maximum durability, while sensor cleaning is employed by vibrating the OLPF. The self diagnostic shutter unit also encompasses a mirror balancer to minimize the residual "bounce" to enhance AF and extend viewing time. What's more, the viewfinder is coated with a new thermal shield finish which works to resist overheating during prolonged use, enhancing overall reliability. Users can easily compose on the camera's wide, bright and scratch resistant 921,000-dot high resolution 3.2-inch LCD screen.
The overall controls and operability of the camera has also been engineered with a renewed emphasis on speed and functionality. During critical moments, users will appreciate refined button layouts with renewed ergonomics, such as a quick AF mode selector placed near the lens mount for fast access on the fly. A new joystick style sub-selector is also placed on the camera's rear for AF point and option selection, while vertical controls have been enhanced for improved operability. Finally, to continue the D4's moniker of the best tool for just about any condition, key control buttons on the back of the camera can all be illuminated, making the camera simple to operate in complete darkness.
Nikon has also made enhancements to overall workflow, adding options to streamline the process and maximize shooting time. Users are now able to automatically generate IPTC data for their images and image sets, making organizing and chronicling images easier for both the photographers and their editors. A wired Ethernet port is also utilized so that a user can shoot tethered and transfer images easily and quickly to clients. Nikon has also introduced the new WT-5A wireless file transmitter, to transmit via FTP server or computer. The device can be set to transfer either automatically or manually selected images. This device also allows for remote operation of the camera using Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 software. A mobile application is also in development to control the camera using this accessory, which will include the ability to trigger the shutter and record video, making this a must-have remote accessory for many professionals.
Price and Availability
The Nikon D4 will be available in late February 2012 for the suggested retail price of $5999.95.*
To see the new D4 D-SLR and other new Nikon products, visit Nikon at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at booth # 11039 from January 10-13th, 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.

WHEELING -With 17 seconds remaining and down one, Wheeling Park coach Micheal Jebbia called a timeout.
He didn't want his team's rally to fall short.
After Ryan Reinbeau drained a 3 and a personal foul on George Washington's Luke Eddy, Park was one score away from retaking its first lead since it was 9-7 in the early going of the first quarter.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Trenton Smith shoots a layup.
Andrew Kowalo inbounded the ball, but Park couldn't get a good enough look as Eddy grabbed the rebound and hit both of his free throws to give the Patriots from Kanawha County a 45-42 victory on Thursday night in Wheeling.
''We wanted to try to run a play at 12 (seconds) and shoot with four or five (seconds left) to give us a chance for a tip in or enough time to foul,'' Jebbia explained. ''But the foul came with 1.1 (seconds remaining), which doesn't give you much of a chance after he hits the two free throws.
''We had an opportunity at the end and that's all we can ask for. I know we didn't get a shot off, but we had some missed opportunities throughout the game. The last minute doesn't dictate what happens. I know everybody remembers the last play or two, but we had some turnovers in the first half. George Washington grabbed some offensive rebounds and got points off of those. You start to think about those kind of plays that happened earlier in the game.''
After a back-and-forth first half that saw George Washington (18-4) go into the locker room with a five-point lead at 22-17, the visiting Patriots began the third with a 6-2 spurt that gave it its largest lead at 28-19.
Park (10-11), however, reeled off seven straight points to trim the deficit to two at 28-26, but Eddy then scored six of the game's next eight points and had his team ahead 36-30 before Trenton Smith drained a 3-point shot right at the buzzer.
''If he doesn't hit that, then with Eddy, they maybe go into ball control and we're just playing catchup,'' Jebbia pointed out.
Following an Eddy bucket to start the fourth, Park got a quick four points from back-to-back baskets by Luke Saseen and Kowalo, but Eddy answered right back with two more of his own.
Jebbia really began to loosen his neck tie after Eddy sunk two more free throws to make it a four-point game at 43-39 in the waning minutes of the fourth, but Reinbeau gave his team one last chance.
''That's the fourth-ranked team in the state and we took them into the fourth quarter with a chance to win down one,'' Jebbia said.
George Washington outrebounded Wheeling Park 35-23 and grabbed three more offensive rebounds (10) then the hosts (7).
Reinbeau led Park with 15 points and six boards, while Kowalo and Saseen both added four points.
Eddy, the MSAC Player of the Year, ended the night 8 of 16 for 26 points to go along with nine rebounds, four steal and two assists.
The senior entered the game averaging 27.1 ppg and recently signed with Division I Elon.

Simple, elegant
Bought for my 80's aluminium road bike, looks great. Holds bottles firmly.
Carry more water, free up a frame mount!
I was very excited to see a bottle cage/pump holster combo for such a reasonable price. Previously, I was only able to carry one bottle on my frame, since my seat-tube mount was reserved for pump storage. Now, I have plenty of water and I can still carry my pump.
Pros: Sturdy construction, handy pump mount, good looking.
Cons: Almost impossible to fit 750ml bottles, might be "too heavy" for weight conscious riders (note to weight conscious riders: get the Al cage and ditch the carbon stuff. It will last longer and it won't get stolen. If you are looking for a way to save a few grams, get off your blog and ride more)
No Pump
This is a cage that CAN house a pump, but it does not come with one. Please be aware of this while purchasing.

|Standards-based report card trial reviewed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
A trial run of standards-based report cards in first and second grades inspired good conversation with parents.
The new report card approach requires much education for staff, students and parents. This was explained by first grade teacher Gina Dorn and second grade teacher Claudia Koberstein at the April 20 meeting of the Holyoke Board of Education.
For the third quarter, students and parents saw both standards-based and regular report cards in first and second grades. At mid-March parent-teacher conferences, a specific explanation was given for the standards-based grades of 4, 3, 2 and 1.
Koberstein said they have to get past thinking 4, 3, 2, 1 equates to A, B, C, D. It clearly does not. A grade of 3 on the standards-based card is like an A, she added. A 3 is a very good grade, and in fact, there won't be a lot of 4s.
Teachers revised report cards and rubrics numerous times in the process of defining grades. Koberstein said they discovered they weren't providing 4 materials. They're working on that.
A quick explanation for the performance rubric on the standards-based report says: 4, exceptional in grade level standards (exceeding grade-level expectations); 3, proficient in grade level standards; 2, approaching grade level standards; and 1, not meeting grade level standards.
Prior to parent-teacher conferences, teachers looked at all the data and talked through everything.
Dorn said the standards-based grades inspired a lot of good conversation with parents—more discussion than what a letter grade generates.
Koberstein said since conferences, they've seen a lot more parent involvement.
Dorn also highlighted an area on the standards-based report that designates always, usually, sometimes or almost never for behaviors that support learning. These behaviors include cooperation, respect, organization, independence, responsibility and more.
One drawback to this transition in reporting grades is the computer system isn't set up for it. Supt. Bret Miles cited the need to move towards an electronic-generated report card. He added they'll be investigating data bases and options for this.
Another concern, as an example, is reporting grades for a first grader who is in second-grade reading. Elementary Principal Kyle Stumpf noted they recommend the second-grade teacher who is responsible for that first grader's reading will fill out a separate report card for that student's reading grade.
Dorn pointed out it will take some time to get through the grade card transition.
Koberstein added lots of districts are watching what Holyoke is doing with regard to this transition. "It's nice to be on the leading edge," she added.
Committees report
During last week's school board meeting, members reported from district committees they're serving on, including budget and facilities, standard of excellence, superintendent advisory, leadership team and BOCES board.
Within the reports, it was noted mill levy override will be an active part of board discussion as they move towards a decision on whether to go for the override. A master plan update for the district can be found on the front page of the school website.
CSAP recommendations will be reviewed by staff as a timetable for the 2010-11 testing is established.
Subject area committee work is ongoing, reported the leadership team committee. This year the group has talked about professional development opportunities for staff, and next year's big topic will be grading policies throughout the district.
From the BOCES board, it was reported a four-year contract was approved for executive director Tim Sanger. It was also noted there will be no BOCES assessment increase to member districts for the third year in a row.
Additionally, the BOCES board was scheduled to vote April 26 on a rebate to districts, which could amount to $42,000 for Holyoke School Dist. The main concern for this approach is cash flow for BOCES.
Finances on target
In a third quarter financial report, Supt. Miles noted the district is about where it expected to be at this point in the year, with no real surprises.
Outlining specifics for cash balance, revenue and expenditure status, Miles reported by the time the 2010-11 preliminary budget is passed, the district should have a good projection of the ending fund balance for 2009-10.
Expenditures are tracking as expected, and transfers are complete, said Miles. Transportation is running under budget, which is being evaluated as the new year's budget is built.
Miles said they do plan to spend all the money in the capital projects line item. The master facility plan project will be accounted for, and the rest will get the district started with summer projects in June.
Other business
In other business April 20, the Re-1J board:
—accepted the resignations of fifth grade teacher David Bloemker and elementary aide Summer Struckmeyer, both effective at the end of the current school year.
—voted for personnel matters, approving Karen Crocker as long-term substitute for JR/SR high English teacher Heather Bieber for the remainder of the school year; Dylan Daniel as volunteer HS baseball coach; and Type V substitute teaching authorization for Sara McMurrin.
—favored going with the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) Core Policy Manual. A specific recommendation, with costs involved, will return to the May 4 board meeting.
—granted admission for three foreign exchange students for 2010-11: Gabrielle Pascua and Beatrix Presich from Austria and Agata Borelli from Italy.
—approved second reading of the revised policies on absences/excuses and truancy, which will be in effect for the 2010-11 school year.
—held a 30-minute executive session at the close of the meeting with Supt. Miles and JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner to discuss two student issues.

May 31, 2016
The first annual barbecue for mental health awareness event got off to a great start.
There were over 40 vendors, rides and fun for the kids, and not too mention the the big barbecue cook-off.This barbeque cook-off consisted of some of the world's most famous barbeque with judges sampling the taste the south is known for.
Steve Stolk from Brandon won the grand championship in Mississippi three years ago with his ribs and is very confident. But, all of the different competitors who participated in the event were first class in every way, right down to the table setting.
Eight of the nine teams are in the top 25 in the United States barbecuing out here, so we got the top of the top barbecuing out here," CMRC Executive Director Debbie Ferguson said. "All this is to raise money for individuals that we serve that have mental illness and to increase awareness about mental illness."
"Next year, it's gonna be bigger and better," Senator Terry C. Burton said. "But, we are glad it's going on and a great way to raise awareness of mental health issues."

Erika Jane Christensen was born on Aug. 19, 1982 in Seattle, WA, but grew up outside of Los Angeles, along with older brother, Nick, and two younger twin brothers, Brando and Dane. From an early age, Christensen had a knack for singing, dancing, and acting, so it came as no surprise that she became an actress at age 12. She was a member of a professional children's theater group and volunteered to perform at foster family events and other community groups. Christensen's first acting job was appearing in a commercial for McDonald's, followed by a part in a music video for Michael Jackson's song, "Childhood," in which the youngster was one of many children floating in "Peter Pan"-esque pira...

CLEVELAND, OHIO (WKYC) -- The Cleveland woman caught on camera swerving onto a sidewalk in order to pass a school bus full of children stood at the same intersection wearing a sign that reads: "Only an idiot would drive around a school bus."
Last week, Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey S. Carr sentenced Sheena Hardin, 32, after she pleaded no contest to the charges of not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation on a street or highway.
Carr ordered Hardin to stand at the intersection of E. 38th Street and Payne Avenue Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this week wearing that sign.
The sign, according to Carr's orders, must be written on 22 x 22 white poster board with the text written in all capital letters in black marker.
Hardin must wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. both days.
Cleveland Metropolitan School District bus driver Uriah Herron captured the video of Hardin driving on the sidewalk last September so that she wouldn't have to stop to wait for the children in the school bus to load and unload.
Hardin pleaded not guilty to the charges at a court hearing in September but reversed her plea in court last Monday.
Carr also ordered Hardin to pay $250 in court costs and suspended her license for 30 days.

Shooting for Forbes Stars
If you're hotel-hopping around Las Vegas during your vacation you may notice that many of the high-end hotels in town boast some sort of star rating including ours!
For the third consecutive year in a row, our resort has been honored with the Forbes Four-Star Award and for the second consecutive year our spa has also been recognized with the Forbes Four-Star Award. The M continues to take its place as one of only 177 hotels and 104 spas in the world to receive the awards. But, what do all those stars mean for our guests?
With a reputation for defining the extraordinary, Forbes Travel Guide conducts regular inspections of hotels, restaurants and spas across the nation and issues an annual guidebook listing the destinations on a ratings scale of One to Five Stars. The ratings reflect specific, strict standards regarding the facilities themselves and more importantly the service that the rated resorts, eateries and spas offer to their guests.
Forbes inspectors spend two nights and three days assessing each hotel in numerous different categories. They visit hotel properties unannounced and rate them as One, Two of Three Star hotels. If the inspector believes the hotel is a potential candidate for a Four or Five Star rating, another Forbes inspector is sent back to the hotel undercover to evaluate the hotel's service with a checklist of over 500 items.
Properties must score in the 80th percentile on the Forbes' ratings scale to earnFour-Stars. The score itself is weightedheavily on service. A portion of the rating is measured by the experience that the inspector has while the facility itself is also factored into the score. Forbes rates about 8,000 of the approximately 50,000 hotels in North America. Of the 8,000 that they do rate, only a few earn a coveted Four and Five Star Ratings.
Some of the 2012 Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star resorts in Nevada include: Aria Resort & Casino, Bellagio Las Vegas, The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and Wynn Las Vegas. We feel very proud to be among such elite hotels in Las Vegas.
The 2012 Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spas in Nevada include: Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Venetian & The Palazzo, Spa Bellagio at Bellagio, The Spa at Aria and The Spa at Trump.
Our resort and spa have been able to take their guest service to the next level thanks to our Team Members. We're proud of their strong commitment to delivering memorable service experiences to our guests.

To the editor:
Government shutdown is a Republican dream. It is the end game of a legacy dating back to FDR.
Republicans were laughing and high-fiving before the shutdown. Their smiles, giddiness and thumbs-up gestures show they are living the dream.
Congressman David Schweikert, R-Ariz., said, �This is my idea of fun.� What a jackass.
Republicans say they are for small government. To that extent, they have tried to weaken it. A smaller government can't provide people the services and the goal is to make the masses hate government as much as they do.
Republican hypocrites hate government except when they can use it to trample women's rights. Their war against government is equaled by their war against women.
