Geothermal Power Plants Planned for Idaho, Oregon, and California
A renaissance in geothermal power production is well underway, as new geothermal power plants are proposed or under construction in both new and old locations. U.S. Geothermal Inc. broke ground on July 29th on a 13-megawatt (MW) geothermal power plant in Raft River, Idaho. The site is both a new and old geothermal location: it will be the first commercial geothermal plant in Idaho, but it's also the site of a DOE geothermal test facility that operated between 1974 and 1982. See the U.S. Geothermal press release (PDF 39 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. is also planning to push into new territory with plans to build the first geothermal power plant in Oregon. A recent review of the geothermal resource at the company's Crump Geyser Geothermal Project in south-central Oregon set the minimum capacity for power production at 40 MW and found it likely that the site can produce 60 MW of power. Based on the results, the company intends to press ahead with exploratory drilling into the geothermal reservoir. Northwest Geothermal Company has also set its sights on Oregon. The company, a joint venture of Davenport Power LLC and Vulcan Power Company, aims to develop a 120-MW power plant on the western flank of Newberry Volcano, 25 miles south of Bend, Oregon. On July 28th, the company signed a contract to provide geothermal power to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). See the press releases from Nevada Geothermal Power, Davenport Power, and PG&E.
PG&E has also signed a contract for geothermal power in the more traditional stomping grounds of southern California. Iceland America Energy (IAE) plans to build a 50-MW plant near the Salton Sea in California's Imperial Valley. Meanwhile, a Canadian company plans to bring geothermal development back to California's oldest geothermal site, The Geysers in northern California. Western GeoPower Corp. has acquired a lease for a section of the geothermal area where PG&E formerly operated a 62-MW plant. Steam pressure declined at the plant in the 1980s, and the plant was shut down in 1989 and eventually dismantled. But thanks to a project to inject water into the steam field, Western GeoPower believes the site could now support a new 30-MW power plant. See the IAE Web site and the Western GeoPower press release.

Power shortages fan demand for air-conditioned clothing
Japanese entrepreneur Hiroshi Ichigaya is selling jackets, shirts and pants outfitted with battery-powered 'personal cooling systems'. The products have increased in popularity following the Japan earthquake and tsunami as residents have been asked to cut energy use by 15 per cent. Wearing the clothes means workers can keep cool without turning on office air-conditioning units.

Shcherbak, SS, Lavrova, OY, Mityagina, MI, Bocharova, TY, Krovotyntsev, VA, Ostrovskii, AG (2008). Multisensor satellite monitoring of seawater state and oil pollution in the northeastern coastal zone of the Black Sea. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING, 29(21), 6331-6345.
AbstractA new approach aimed at a better understanding of the state of pollution of the Black Sea coastal zone is suggested. It consists of the combined use of all available quasi-concurrent satellite information (NOAA AVHRR, TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Terra/Aqua MODIS, Envisat ASAR, ERS-2 SAR and QuikSCAT) and was first applied during an operational seawater monitoring campaign in the coastal zone of the northeastern Black Sea conducted in 2006. The monitoring is based on daily receiving, processing and analysis of data different in nature (microwave radar images, optical and infrared data), resolution and surface coverage. These data allow us to retrieve information on seawater pollution, sea surface and air-sea boundary layer conditions, seawater temperature and suspended matter distributions, chlorophyll-a concentration, mesoscale water dynamics, near-surface wind, and surface wave fields. Such an approach helps in oil spill detection with synthetic aperture radar (SAR), especially in distinguishing oil slicks from look-alikes. The focus is on coastal seawater circulation mechanisms and their impact on the evolution of pollutants.

Free Speech Test Coming Soon in Myanmar
A dust-up between one of Aung San Suu Kyi's key allies and Myanmar's reform-minded government is about to come to a head.
On Tuesday, hearings will begin on whether Nyan Win, a spokesman for Ms. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, unfairly challenged the government when he claimed authorities tampered with ballots in the country's April 1 parliamentary by-election, which was dominated by the NLD. At the time, Mr. Nyan Win claimed some of the ballots were covered with wax, which made it impossible to mark them correctly, and sent a complaint letter to the country's Election Commission.
The commission has since investigated the allegations and found that while there was indeed wax on some ballot papers, it wasn't intentional – but rather due to the poor quality of the paper, NLD officials have told Southeast Asia Real Time.
In an article May 9, the government mouthpiece New Light of Myanmar newspaper called the wax ballot complaint "a sham" and warned that such a "false accusation" could "harm the image of Myanmar's by-election." It went on to say that "legal action should be lodged against the false grumbler."
The Election Commission, meanwhile, on June 14 charged Nyan Win with violating Section 182 of Myanmar's penal code, which makes it an offense to give false information to a public servant, with potential penalties of six months in jail and a fine of 1000 Myanmar kyat.
"Our client is not guilty," said Kyaw Ho, the lead counsel for Nyan Win, who is also represented by two other lawyers.
"Nyan Win will not deny the facts that he is being charged with," added Hanta Myint, a senior member of the NLD. "But Nyan Win said he has the legal right to say it. Nyan Win will contest and assert in the court that we have the right to say these things."
Efforts to reach the Election Commission were unsuccessful. The government did not reply to requests for comments.
The case is raising complex questions about the limits of free speech in the new Myanmar, which has undergone widespread economic and political reforms since the military junta that controlled the country for five decades handed over power to a nominally-civilian government in 2011.
Among other steps, the new government has given activists more room to express their opinions in public and loosened censorship of newspapers, though opposition leaders say they still feel some pressure to rein in their criticism of the government. Some newspapers, for instance, have come under fire by government officials in recent months for publishing information on sensitive topics such as the fate of the country's vice president, who dropped out of sight several weeks ago.
In another case, Myanmar's Ministry of Mines brought defamation charges against the Voice Weekly for alleging corrupt practices within the ministry.
"These are, in my opinion, not good signs for the prospect of freedom of expression" in Myanmar, said Soe Thein, a veteran journalist and political analyst in the country. "There are many people among the ruling circle who do not realize the change from authoritarianism to democracy – I think we are still at the crossroads."

THE FLATS --- Georgia Tech senior defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu was named first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference, junior guard Shaquille Mason earned third-team honors and senior running back David Sims honorable mention, as selected by the league's 14 head coaches.
The Coaches All-ACC Team began in 2012. The league's head coaches were not permitted to vote for players on their own team.
Attaochu enjoyed one of the best Novembers of any defensive player in college football. He has 10.0 sacks over the last five games, including a career-high 4.0 sacks against Georgia in the regular season finale – the third-most single-game sacks in Yellow Jacket history. His 12.0 sacks this season are the sixth-most in Tech history, and he enters the postseason tied with Greg Gathers (31.0 career sacks) for the most career sacks in school history.
Mason, who has started 25 consecutive games, was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week two times during the regular season. The Columbia (Tenn.) native helped the Georgia Tech offense rank sixth nationally in rushing offense, seventh in third-down percentage, 15th in fewest sacks allowed and 16th in red-zone offense.
Sims, who has more than 2,200 career rushing yards, leads Georgia Tech in rushing (846 yards this season), rushing touchdowns (11), overall touchdowns (12) and he has averaged 5.6 yards per carry. Sims, who has rushed for 100-plus yards in three of his last five games, has just one negative yardage rushing attempt among his 151 carries this season.

I would put in markers every 10sts so the when you fold the hem at the purl row, you don't miss a stitch and skew the hem. If you put the sts from the invisible cast on onto a third needle in groups of 10 or so sts, that should also help keep you on track.
Yes, you knit through the loop from the cast on with the loop from the last row knit. Sounds like both of these are in the brown color rather than the auxilliary color.
For the increases (and it seems particularly mischievious to make you do this at the same time as the hem) a make one may be easiest. Depending on the next directions, you might consider putting the increases on the next row. You don't have to get the increases
even, every 9 or 10 sts will work out. Again, using markers will help keep you on track with the increases as well. You might also try the M1 or the kfb on a small swatch and see which you think goeas best with the folded hem.
It's a very good-looking pattern. We'd love to see the finished vest if you'd care to post a photo.

Campaign Touch Announces Mobile Website Builder for Political Campaigns
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn (PRWEB) June 06, 2012
Campaign Touch, a leader in mobile strategy for political campaigns, announced today that they have launched a turnkey mobile political platform that allows campaigns to provide a mobile website to supporters on their Blackberry's, iPhones, Androids and other small-screen mobile devices. The platform also allows for campaigns to send SMS text messages to opt-in supporters, keeping them up-to-date on events and issues.
The Pew Research Center reported that 40 percent of adults used the Internet, email, or instant messaging on a mobile phone in 2010, a number that increasingly grows every year. More and more voters are accessing the Internet via a mobile phone to follow campaigns and make micro-donations. Campaigns looking to stay connected to voters must provide that mobile user experience expected by supporters when they are accessing the campaign website from a mobile phone.

Officials at the University New Hampshire say the debate over state support for higher education has affected enrollment, but they hope Gov. Maggie Hassan's budget proposal will help turn things around.
Hassan on Thursday called for spending $165 million on the state university system over two years, nearly restoring the funding level in place before the Legislature slashed it in 2011. Since then, UNH has seen in-state enrollment drop, and officials believe that reflects uncertainty caused by the funding debate.
If they get the money Hassan requested, the leaders of the four university system institutions say they will freeze in-state tuition for two years.

TFG Interview: Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware on QB Concussions, Cowboys Playoffs Chances, and Trusting His Power
By: The Football Girl | Posted: November 13, 2012
A few weeks ago I was incessantly begging you to sign up for a Fan-cestry, a new fan profile powered by Procter & Gamble. The core reason being that I was engaged in a contest with fellow bloggers to win two Super Bowl tickets, which I would donate to Make-a-Wish (We find out results shortly! And you can still sign up for a Fan-cestry.). The second is because we at TFG are working with P&G for the rest of the season, most specifically with their Duracell brand.
Through this partnership I get to be specially clued into all the happenings within Duracell's Trust Your Power campaign, particularly those involving NFL players. A couple of weeks ago I spoke with 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis about his relationship with Duracell and raising money for youth scholarships.
Today I had the opportunity to speak with Cowboys four-time All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware about his surprise visit to Lancaster High School's (Lancaster, Texas) playoff bound football team this afternoon, again as part of the Trust Your Power program. We also talked about the NFL's recent concussion epidemic, and discussed whether the Cowboys had a shot at mimicking Lancaster and securing a playoff spot.
Melissa Jacobs: First off, what exactly are you doing today at Lancaster High School?
DeMarcus Ware: I'm at Lancaster High School campaigning with Duracell and "Trust Your Power," encouraging kids to be positive on and off the field. We want to let them know that whatever they did it's really important. It's also a bit of a second chance where Duracell comes in here and gives them gear and advice to sort of help them get over the hump. It's just a great opportunity
MJ: Why was this particular high school chosen?
DW: In the state of Texas there are so many huge high schools, and this right here is one of the low-end high schools. I'm looking at it now and it's bigger than my high school but it's one of the low end ones. They made the playoffs with not as much as others school have, which is in terms of equipment and being in a lower pedigree and still getting to the playoffs. I think they're 9-1 this year and with them whipping through that adversity they're a great candidate for this.
MJ: Duracell's big branding motto for this NFL season is "trust your power." What does that phrase mean to you?
DW: I use the fans as an example. If you can get your fans to come out there and cheer as hard as they can and cheer you on you feel like you have that 12th man out there who can intimidate the other team. But also just having confidence in you, confidence in one person who can make an impact. For the way you live and how you are with the opportunities you have. You have to strive and do your best with what you've got.
MJ: You are one of the most charitable guys in the NFL. How do you pick and choose your causes?
DW: Anything that has to do with the kids and serving in the community, especially for me coming form a small school and then having opportunities. I have an opportunity to look kids in the face and let them know it's not about where you come from; it's how you use what you have to get to where you need to be.
MJ: Now onto football. After that big win over Philadelphia and a loss by New York, how are you feeling about your playoff chances at the moment?
DW: With what we have I feel like we can get to the playoffs and where we need to be. We just have to be consistent. Be consistent and figuring out how to get a win each week no matter how that is. It's now how you do; it's that you have to do it.
MJ: You're one sack away from joining an elite group with double-digit sacks in at least seven straight seasons. Who do you think is the greatest pass rusher of all-time?
DW: The greatest of all time is Reggie White. He's the guy that was unstoppable. He also carried that Christian cross with him, and I really commend him for that. And just having the opportunity to see how he played and how he carried himself. I feel like he was a great guy.
MJ: Were you affected when you heard about all the quarterback concussions this past weekend?
DW: No, I wasn't affected by that. I don't think about that at all. It's just when the quarterbacks are back there and taking a hit, they're not used to being hit. In this league we are really honing in on safety and getting the right equipment. Those guys, I hope they get better, but I'm glad they're doing research with the NFPA and NFL on concussions because they can hurt you later on in your career.
MJ: Do you think the current helmets are protective enough against a guy like you, for instance?
DW: I think it doesn't matter what type of helmet you wear. If you don't know the hit is coming your body is not going to tense up and get ready for impact. I imagine, what the average head weighs around 10 pounds? Some heads weigh 15. When a 250-pound guy is coming at it, it won't be able to withstand that impact.
MJ: What is your favorite thing about playing in Jerry's World, and you can interpret that as the stadium or playing for the man himself? Your choice.
DW: I think the best thing in playing for the Dallas Cowboys is the tradition and what it stands for. There are so many guys who have come through here and made their mark and to have the opportunity to be part of this tradition is a dream come true.
MJ: Thanks for the time. Great stuff you're doing on the field and off.
DW: Thank you. Take care.

Expressing support for the reported decision by Jewish organizational leaders to give a 60 day "time out" from pushing for stronger sanctions on Iran, J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said, "There is an opportunity in the weeks ahead to test whether we can achieve the goal of ensuring that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon through diplomacy. This isn't the moment to endanger that diplomacy. There will be plenty of time to enhance sanctions if the talks fail… It would be great for these groups to actually lobby to bolster the administration's policy toward Iran, which is supported by a large majority of the US Jewish community."
Securing a peaceful future, Pomona Student Life
J Street U Southwest Co-Chair and J Street U Claremont Colleges President Sage Lachman said, "It will be challenging to bring an end to the occupation while ensuring the security of both Israel and a Palestinian state. But it is not impossible. And, more to the point, it is necessary. After suffering through decades of violence and terror, both sides deserve to live in their own safe and secure states."
The Challenges of Dissent, The Importance of Dialogue, and The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Wesleyan Argus
J Street U Northeast Regional Co-Chair and J Street U Wesleyan Co-Chair Danny Blinderman wrote that J Street U "creates the space to grapple with the issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and provides opportunities to advocate for vigorous U.S. leadership to reach a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict… If we want to encourage an open and critical discussion on our campus, we need to engage with the most diverse set of voices possible, no matter how challenging they may be."

US to propose Israeli-Palestinian peace deal in January, senior MK tells Haaretz, Haaretz
Meretz chairman Zahava Gal-On said that Secretary of State Kerry informed Prime Minister Netanyahu in Rome that the Obama administration plans to present in January its own plan for a draft framework agreement on permanent status between Israel and the Palestinians. Gal-On said she was basing her information on conversations she has had in recent days with senior Palestinian, American and Arab officials.
Israel, PA spar ahead of next round of talks, Times of Israel
The Palestinian Authority slammed the Israeli government late Sunday after the Housing and Construction Ministry announced that it would approve the sale of land for some 1,700 apartments over the Green Line, a move which came on the heels of a statement by Netanyahu earlier in the day that Israel must keep a "security border" in the Jordan Valley in any final peace deal with the Palestinians. The announcements were made ahead of a visit by Kerry who is set to meet with Israeli and Palestinian officials this week — a visit which coincides with the launch of the next round of talks between the two sides.
Abbas promises Kerry not to pull out of peace talks, Haaretz
Senior Israeli and US officials have confirmed that though the Palestinians severely condemn the recent settlement construction, they would not pull out of peace talks with Israel. President Abbas said the Palestinians promised the United States to carry on negotiations for nine months and that they intended to keep that promise.

US will push Mideast peace process forward: Kerry, AFP
Kerry said he remained hopeful there would be progress toward peace in the coming months and renewed his plea for the world to give negotiators space to work.

Livni urges Labor to seize the moment, join the coalition, Times of Israel
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni called on the Labor Party to join the coalition to counter the influence of the hawkish HaBayit HaYehudi and show support for the peace process with the Palestinians. Livni said "it isn't enough to make speeches about the need for an agreement...The Labor Party must be courageous and join the government in order to help advance it."
Israel to face deepening isolation if peace talks fail, says national security adviser, Haaretz

Khamenei tells Iran's hardliners not to undermine nuclear talks, Reuters
Iran's supreme leader gave strong backing on Sunday to his president's push for nuclear negotiations, warning hardliners not to accuse Hassan Rouhani of compromising with the old enemy America. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments will help shield Rouhani, who has sought to thaw relations with the West since his surprise election in June, from accusations of being soft on the United States, often characterized in the Islamic Republic as the "Great Satan".

Tens of thousands of demonstrators packed the streets Monday outside the former US Embassy in Tehran in the biggest anti-American rally in years, a show of support for hard-line opponents of Rouhani's historic outreach to Washington.
Opinion and Analysis
Might those peace talks actually be getting somewhere?, Times of Israel
"That something positive could be happening in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority may comes as a surprise after the overwhelming pessimism expressed by both Israeli and Palestinian leaders before the current round of talks began in late July, writes Avi Issacharoff, "But there are quite a few reasons to suspend disbelief and skepticism."
Israel weighs its options, Al-Monitor
Ben Caspit reports that Israeli negotiators "pose questions, raise quandaries and make productive remarks. However, they avoid making statements or showing their positions. In these negotiations, Israel behaves as if it were actually the United States. A neutral, curious observer."
Netanyahu's distorted priorities, Haaretz
The Haaretz editorial board argues that "Israel deserves a different agenda, one that will guarantee its future as a democratic and prosperous country: A peace agreement with the Palestinians, the integration of its Arab citizens and civil investment in projects such as the light rail train in the Dan region, which would significantly improve the quality of life of millions of Israelis - projects that are always put off because of the construction of housing in the isolated settlements. These goals are within reach. What is needed is just leadership that wants to change direction, and such leadership does not exist today in Israel."
Obama's Mideast policies are working, Politico
Aaron David Miller says that "if the Obama administration is realistic, it may well produce some kind of agreement on some of the core issues."
Israeli Army Avoids Confronting Settler Violence, Al-Monitor
According to Shlomi Eldar, "Ignoring the violent acts committed by a hardcore group of settlers has had a snowball effect on what was once a localized phenomenon. Jewish residents commit attacks, and the soldiers stand off to the side."

A Must Read - Share
Aweek on from the Oscars, it's curious to see Broken City and Arbitrage, two films packed to the gunwales with former Oscar winners and nominees, but which were never in much danger of winning awards themselves. They're B-movies with A-list casts. But as long as you see them as star-studded TV films, rather than prestige projects, both offer their share of guilty pleasure.

For nearly a decade, Bill Heavey, an outdoorsman marooned in suburbia, has written the Sportsman?s Life? column on the back page of Field & Stream, where he does for hunting and fishing what David Feherty does for golf and Lewis Grizzard did for the South. His work is adored by readers one proclaims him the greatest sportswriter who has ever walked the planet,? and another recently wrote in to nominate him for president of the United States in 2008 and his peers have recognized his work with two prestigious National Magazine Award nominations. If You Didn?t Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat? is the first collection of Heavey?s sidesplitting observations on life as a hardcore (but often hapless) outdoorsman. Whether he?s hunting cougars in the southwest desert, scheming to make his five-year-old daughter fall in love with fishing, or chronicling his father?s slow decline through the lens of the numerous dogs he?s owned over seventy-five years, Heavey is a master at blending humor and pathos and wide-ranging outdoor enthusiasms that run the gamut from elite to ordinary into a poignant and potent cocktail. Funny, warmhearted, and supremely entertaining, this book is an uproarious addition to the literature of the outdoors.. Price: $15.78

If you go to any of the big steakhouses in the U.S., chances are that this is how they cook a lot of their meat. Fast and furiously on top of the stove to create that handsome, flavorful crust—then into the gentler, indirect heat of the oven to finish cooking. Here's a step-by-step guide to replicate those steakhouse steaks at home.

These days, we don't eat filet mignon that often. Filet is fabulous because it's really tender. But honestly? We usually prefer the beefy flavor of slightly sturdier cuts like sirloin.

They are then faced with a veneer and edged with a solid timber "lipping". The benefits of using engineered construction doors over more traditional methods are; The door has a much more uniform look (no mismatched colours/panels, everything matches), It is far more unlikely to twist, split (we do not get problems with panels splitting) and possibly the most important reason is that it is much more Eco friendly!

"I will not support any action to weaken the voices of Alabama citizens in electing the President of the United States," Chapman said. "Just because we are a smaller state does not mean our votes should count any less."
Other speakers at the event include secretaries of state from Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. Chapman currently serves as president of the National Association of Secretaries of State.
The event is sponsored by the Heritage Foundation and the State Government Leadership Foundation.

Single-child mothers who develop high blood pressure during pregnancy may be more likely to die from heart disease later in life.
Researchers looked at data from more than 800,000 Norwegian mothers. Overall women with preeclampsia during their first pregnancy had a higher risk of heart-disease-related death. The risk skyrocketed to nine times higher among women who had only one child and was nearly two and half times for women who had more than one child.
This is the first time that increased risk among single-child mothers has been reported and suggests these women require special monitoring.
The findings appear online in "British Medical Journal".

If the GOP was truly concerned about our nation's debt, why did they just refuse to accept a perfectly justifiable income tax revenue stream that would help pay down that national debt, that even George W Bush proposed should expire this year? And also, why did the GOP just approve another trillion dollars of federal spending?
Unltill the "Grand ol' Tea Party" of do nothing but obstruct, whine and complain ("Take back our Country!"), tea soaked bed wetters, can actually demonstrate that they have reduced our deficits and increased jobs in America while refusing a perfectly legal and justifiable tax increase on the wealthiest Americans and approving more federal spending while they control America's purse strings; all those empty claims about the GOP being so much more fiscally responsible than the democrats will simply be dismissed, as will most of the republican members in Congress in 2012.
"Even before being sworn in to start the 112th Congress, the GOP has become a co-conspirator in what Charles Krauthammer is calling the "swindle of the year"—a scheme that will "pump a trillion borrowed Chinese dollars into the U.S. economy over the next two years."
It seems that the Pulitzer Prize winning columnist is one of the few conservatives left in Washington to give a damn about America's deficit crisis. He is certainly the only columnist who understands what we have been saying on "Morning Joe" for a week: that Barack Obama is about to pass another reckless stimulus bill. But this time, the same GOP leaders who once vilified the president as a socialist will be his closest allies.
Krauthammer dismisses Obama's "newest free lunch" as little more than a second stimulus package that will "blow another $1 trillion hole in the budget."
One GOP senator who voted against Obama's second stimulus plan said the vote was an easy one to take.
"The debt can't just be something we talk about in our campaigns," Nevada's John Ensign told me after casting his no vote Monday night. "These deficits will destroy us. I just couldn't vote for new spending and new tax giveaways without a single offset."
Oklahoma's Tom Coburn, Alabama's Jeff Sessions, South Carolina's Jim DeMint and Ohio's George Voinovich joined Ensign in voting against the budget busting stimulus plan.
Aside from Krauthammer and the small group of deficit hawks, the rest of the Republican Party is marching in lockstep behind a stimulus plan that puts America deeper in debt than the stimulus scheme devised by Nancy Pelosi in 2009.
All the president had to do to gain their support was wave tax cuts in front of Republican leaders and, like Pavlov's dogs, they began to drool. Once the salivating stops, America will be $1 trillion deeper in debt to China and our growing list of creditors.
By now no one should be surprised by the Republican Party's dementia when dealing with the debt. After all, this is the same party who campaigned forever on fiscal restraint before turning a a $155 billion surplus and turned it into a $1 trillion dollar deficit.
Like Senator Tom Coburn and a few conservative holdovers from the 1990s, I issued early warnings every step of the way.
What is so disturbing six years later is how little things have changed in that time.
This is what I wrote in 2004 in my book "Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day":
"If you want tax cuts, you get them. Want to increase defense spending to over $400 billion? Sure. How about an $8 trillion Medicare drug bill? We know it will bankrupt the system but we need those seniors voting for us. And why not keep conservatives happy by passing another tax cut? Maybe then they will forget their president teamed up with Ted Kennedy to pass the biggest education bureaucracy bill ever."

So here we are back at another Focus on Imaging show, which each year seems to be a surprisingly shorter and shorter time after the last! You can view our 10 minute tour of the show below.
Of the big camera manufacturers only two, Canon and Nikon, had really big stands. Fujifilm had a good sized stand but cameras only form a part of the exhibit with Fujifilm's valuable commercial printing business claiming much of the space. Olympus didn't have a new camera to launch and chose to support one of their pro photographers. They did have a clever show publicity gimmick though. Panasonic Lumix simply supported one of their camera dealers. Meanwhile, Samsung, Pentax and Sony were nowhere to be seen.
However, there were plenty of lens companies at the show, including the usual Tamron, Sigma, and Tokina but there was also a big presence in two locations for Samyang, and Carl Zeiss also had a stand this year.
One aspect of the show that we found notable was uniquity of LED studio lighting - it's not new but this year everybody was using and selling it. Anyway - here's the video and if you are going or have been to the show please do let us know what you thought about it:

2nd Annual Corned Beef Comes to Augusta Fundraiser
Event Dates and Times
Friday, February 28th
Adas Yeshurun Synagogue / 935 Johns Road
Do you crave a New York-style corned beef sandwich on fresh rye bread? On Sunday, March 16th and Monday, March 17th, Adas Yeshurun Synagogue will be slicing over 400 pounds of kosher corned beef. This year's goal is to sell over 1000 lunches.
The lunches consist of an overstuffed corned beef sandwich on rye bread with pickle spear, condiments, chips, a drink and freshly-baked brownie at a cost of just $10.
"Last year was our first year," said Tina Weinstein, food and preparation supervisor. "We planned on selling no more than 500 lunches, but wound up selling over 600. The response was so favorable in the community that we expect to sell at least twice that many this year. People were overwhelmed at the size and taste of the sandwich."
A portion of proceeds from sales will benefit area charities.
Lunches may be picked up at Adas Yeshurun Synagogue, 935 Johns Road on Sunday or Monday. Lunches can be delivered to offices, schools, clubs, and clinics on Monday, March 17th. There is no delivery charge for orders of 10 or more lunches to the same location.
Orders must be placed by Friday, February 28th. To place orders, call 706.736.8788 or go to www.cornedbeefatays.com.

M1 aims for nationwide LTE by early 2012
May 16, 2011
Singapore's M1 is targeting nationwide LTE deployment by Q1 next year.
M1 spokesperson Ivan Lim told TelecomAsia the company had already applied to the IDA to amend its existing facilities-based operator license to allow for the provision of LTE and related services. The upcoming network will target both the enterprise and consumer segments, said Lim.
M1's LTE network will run on either the 1.8Ghz or 2.6Ghz spectrum band, with Huawei providing the installation of macro base stations, distributed base stations, EPC and network maintenance in a 5 year deal worth S$280 million ($226 million).
M1 paid S$21.69 million for spectrum rights to 2 x 5 Mhz lots in the 1.8Ghz band last month, which Lim said would be used for 2G expansion as well as the provision of 4G services.
The carrier has not yet decided whether to start off commercial LTE services with PC dongles as the device of choice, as has been the case with Hong Kong's CSL. Lim said M1 would have to consider the LTE devices available at time of launch.

I doubt that the disks with the pc have linux drivers - they are generally

one of about 360 active Linux distributions. As I recall, the eeeeeeeee

Norfolk Constabulary: Our Priority is You
Call us on: 101 In an emergency always dial 999

FAQs |
Help |
7 December 2012
A cross-county campaign aimed at raising awareness of rape and
sexual violence in Norfolk is to zone in on the offender in the
build up to the Christmas festivities.
The Time to Stop initiative was launched in the summer as joint
campaign with Suffolk Constabulary with a main focus on victim
support and safety advice.
But with the celebrations kick-starting the focus will now be on
sending out a strong message to anyone thinking about committing
such offences - or any males who may find themselves falling foul
of the law without realising it.
Leading with 'Would you?', the creatives have been designed
to urge clubbers to question their actions and judgements on a
night out.
Detective Inspector Ross McDermott, who heads Norfolk
Constabulary's Rape Unit, said: "Rape is rape and there are no
excuses, there is no grey area. Men need to understand that if a
woman says no or is incapable of consenting, for instance through
drink or drugs, they are committing a criminal offence.
"If there is any doubt the likelihood is that you are committing
rape and therefore hold yourself up to being arrested, convicted in
a court of law and potentially placed on the Sex Offenders
"Don't let your festive night out turn into a life
"Men need to understand that if a woman says no or is incapable of consenting, for instance through drink or drugs, they are committing a criminal offence."
DI Ross McDermott
"Men need to understand that if a woman says no or is incapable of consenting, for instance through drink or drugs, they are committing a criminal offence."
DI Ross McDermott
Strap-lined 'Sex without consent is rape' each sticker will show
the onlooker behind bars and serve as a stark reminder of the
consequences of their potential actions.
The beer mats and posters which will also include advice on
where to seek help including at the regions' Sexual Assault
Referral Centres (SARCS) have been created for use in pubs and
Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies have once again teamed up
with the regional station KISS to send out crucial messages about
the dangers of becoming victims or offenders of such crimes.
The 'Time to Stop' campaign is particularly aimed at young women
and men aged 17 to 24.
In line with national trends, reported serious sexual offences
in Norfolk and Suffolk have shown year on year increases since 2009
- with rape accounting for 40% of all cases.
In Norfolk there were 228 Serious Sexual Offences* and 157 rapes
recorded between 1st April and 30th November 2012. In the case of
the rape offences 142 victims were female and 15 male.
A break-down of rape offences for the same period for each
district in Norfolk is as follows:
A short film entitled 'Look what you
did' was also created in support of the initiative and is still
available on both constabularies' YouTube channels alongside a
'behind the scenes' feature.
The local campaign comes as the Home Office re-launches its own
rape teenage campaign.
Det Insp McDermott, added: "The majority of rapes are committed
by someone who knows the victim and people can get into situations
they never intended to and suddenly become very vulnerable.
"Too often our officers will see young women who are the worse
for wear through drink and who have either wandered off or been
abandoned by their friends on a night out.
"Look after yourself and your friends when you are out and
always organise safe transport home."

ROTA, Spain (NNS) -- The top civilian leading the fight against sexual assaults in the Navy brought the "No Zebras. No Excuses" training - and frank and transparent discussion - to Naval Station Rota, Spain, Aug. 26.
Director, Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DON-SAPRO) Jill Loftus spoke to the Naval Station Rota community during a live radio show and follow-on interview.
She spoke candidly about how this push against sexual assaults started, where the Navy and Marine Corps stand, why there is so much training and what lies ahead.
The increased push against sexual assaults in the Navy started in 2009, according to Loftus, when Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus stood up the DON-SAPR Office. According to Loftus, there were several things that were likely motivating Mabus, but one stands out.
"It was also pushed by reports of sexual assaults that were coming in from theater during the Afghan and Iraqi wars. There were a number of Sailors and Soldiers who had come back complaining about being sexually assaulted and no one doing anything about it," said Loftus. "So, the Department made a concerted effort to not only take care of victims, but to try to keep [sexual assaults] from ever occurring."
Part of that concerted effort has been an increase in sexual assault prevention training. Loftus said she realizes that people are feeling some training "saturation," that they feel as though they're receiving too much training. She pointed to studies that have identified individuals need 60 hours of training to fully absorb the message, and she also had direct words for anyone who feels there isn't a problem with sexual assaults in the Navy.
"I think that if someone told me that they did not think that we have a problem with sexual assaults, then I would tell them about every [situation report] that I read," said Loftus. "Every morning I read the stories about Sailors and Marines who have been sexually assaulted. It is now running four to six [reports] every day. Now, the severity may be different, but it's still somebody's life who has been affected, and somebody who is now hurting, somebody who feels betrayed, somebody who has been attacked by somebody else within their own family."
On the other hand, Loftus understands that there is some misleading data out there as well. A 2012 Department of Defense survey asserted 26,000 sexual assaults were occurring in the Department of Defense and that the majority were going unreported - a potentially alarming number, since according to DoD data, less than 3,500 had been reported in any previous year. Loftus said that this number has garnered attention, but it should not be taken out of context.
Loftus explained that of the 26,000 sexual assaults that were extrapolated from a sample survey of 20,000 respondents across the DoD, ranging from unwanted physical contact to actual violent penetration rapes, the vast majority fell into the former category.
"I think there has probably been a steady state of sexual assaults over the last three to four years," said Loftus, who went on to say that reporting is increasing and that is good. "People are feeling more comfortable coming forward. We're seeing more males coming forward, which we think is good news because they've been the lowest reporting group we've had."
Loftus also said that the majority of assaults in the Navy and the Marine Corps involve 18 to 24-year-olds; over half the time the cases involve alcohol; they are blue-on-blue and they usually occur in or around social settings.
"They are not 'Law and Order, SVU,' a stranger rape," said Loftus. "These are situations where people are partying or people are in bowling alleys and they go out to drink afterwards, or they go out in groups and alcohol becomes either a facilitator or an inhibitor for people's good judgment, which is why we look for people to intervene when they see these things happening."
Intervention is the latest push from the DON-SAPR Office, and it is the focus of the "No Zebras. No Excuses" training.
"When I first took this job, one of the things I wanted to do was to help Sailors and Marines learn about sexual assault prevention. So, I talked to Sailors and Marines and they said, 'Oh, please, please no more PowerPoint,'" said Loftus. "So, I did what Sailors and Marines do. I went on the Internet, I 'Googled,' and I looked at YouTube videos ... and I found this 'No Zebras. No Excuses,' said Loftus.
The "No Zebras" training is a theatrical presentation of skits created to bring to life examples of intimate partner violence, stalking, "gay bashing" and sexual assault, said Loftus. "And, the language is raw; the language is not language that I, myself, use, but I'm an old person. It's really aimed at 18 to 24-year-olds, and [the presenters] are 24-year-olds ... they are all trained sexual assault response coordinators and counselors. I've had complaints that there are too many 'F-bombs' in the presentation, but I haven't had any complaints from any 18- to 24-year-olds. So, as long as I am getting a message across to our more vulnerable Sailors and Marines, that's what we're going to continue to do."
Looking ahead for the Navy and Marine Corps, Loftus says training will continue to focus on bystander intervention, and new recruits are receiving at least two sexual assault prevention trainings before they leave basic training. Loftus also discussed the possible wider application of pilot programs at installations in Great Lakes, Ill. and San Diego, Calif. Sailors in those areas are receiving more training than the fleet, and the Navy has partnered with more civilian organizations to increase awareness and intervention efforts on and off installations, according to Loftus.
"We hope [Sailors and Marines] get that bystander mentality out of their system, and they are no longer just bystanders, that they are interveners. That's the whole premise of this "No Zebras. No Excuses," said Loftus. "It's almost like your nature programs ... you see a herd of zebras, sitting there drinking their water paying no attention until a lion comes up, and the lion circles the pack. Well, the pack just continues to drink their water and do nothing until one of them is taken and eaten as breakfast. And then, they look around and they think, 'Oh, thank goodness that wasn't me or anybody I know,' because, you know, they don't want to be breakfast. But, a herd of zebras turning on one lion could've prevented anyone from being breakfast. Don't sit around and be a zebra."

--Lions head coach Jim Schwartz spent 10 seasons in Tennessee working under Rams coach Jeff Fisher. In that time he went from defensive assistant to linebacker coach to coordinator. "He jokes around that he was pouring coffee and making airport runs when he started," Fisher said. "I don't recall him making airport runs." What he recalls is Schwartz being innovative and energetic and immediately being able to communicate with the players. "Jim is very talented and I knew from Day One when he walked in the door that he was going to be successful," Fisher said. "I promoted him twice, both times it was met with resistance in the organization. But I knew Jim was ready and he was going to be successful." Both have downplayed the mentor-protege angle. "It's the Rams vs. the Lions; that's it," Schwartz said.
--Quarterback Matthew Stafford's commercial on ESPN promoting Monday Night Football has been a hit, but don't try to peg him as an actor. "Nah, I just fake it until I make it," he said. He did say he enjoyed the experience. "I must've done about 150 different lines for what I was going to say about the bib and the t-shirt," he said. "The cannon ball (dive) was the last shot of the day and we just winged that. I was playing Marco Polo in the pool by myself in another shot (that didn't make the cut). It was good stuff. I was happy to poke fun at myself."
--Quarterback Kellen Moore was standing on the Boise State sidelines at Michigan State's Spartan Stadium Friday night when he got the news. It came in the form of a text message from offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. "We're good to go," is all it said. Moore, the undrafted rookie from Boise State, had beaten the odds and won a spot on the 53-man roster. "This is my first time going through this NFL thing, so it'll be a fun experience for this week just to get the routine down and understand how everything works," Moore said. "Certainly, it's great just to have Matt (Stafford) and Shaun (Hill), learn from those guys, kind of get through a routine, and we'll see where it takes us." If last year is any indication, Moore might not be wearing his uniform much. Last year's No. 3 quarterback Drew Stanton didn't dress the entire season.
--The Lions are one of two teams that will return their starting line intact from 2011. Atlanta is the other. The Lions five starters on the offensive line have made a combined 489 consecutive starts, that's more than the rest of the NFC North combined. "Consistency is something you strive for but you don't often get it in this league, the way it is set up now," said offensive line coach George Yarno. "We've been fortunate."
--Safety John Wendling has carved out a six-year career largely on his ability to play special teams. Finally, though, Wendling has cracked the rotation in the secondary. With Louis Delmas injured (knee), Wendling is in line to start at safety. "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time," he said. "I am just really glad I was able to take advantage of it." Wendling spent the offseason working on his cover skills, something he hadn't had to worry about in previous years. "It was just being more of a DB," he said. "Nowadays, it's really evolving where you have to be able to cover guys; you have to know how to be like a corner out there. For me, it was just about learning how to be more fluid out there."
--Tight end Tony Scheffler is from Chelsea, Mich., and went to high school with the son of actor Jeff Daniels. More than a decade after watching Scheffler play in high school, Daniels has fond memories. "I remember seeing Tony play and he did what he wanted," Daniels told the Free Press. "It was quite something. He would literally tell the cornerback, 'I'm going to run a post and you're not going to be able to stop me.' And he would run a post and it'd be a 60-yard TD."
489 -- Combined starts with Detroit by the offensive line - Jeff Backus (176), Rob Sims (32), Dominic Raiola (156), Stephen Peterman (70), Gosder Cherilus (55) - the most in the NFL.
"You have to remember how you got there. The hunters out there will understand this: Many a prey has been missed because of buck fever. The analogy is pertinent. Sometimes you can get close and you get anxious. You change the method you used to get where you are. You have to guard against that. The Lions have had a lot of experience putting bad years behind them. Now, being able to put success in its place, this is something new to the organization." -- Coach Jim Schwartz on the challenges this season.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
One of the most well traveled and arguably one of the most popular Reggae compositions of all time, the big and bad Far East Riddim, has made it to French shores courtesy of Heartical Records and the venerable Basque Dub Foundation and done so to the tune of four previously unreleased and unavailable songs on the classic from Studio One.
A constantly reinventing and resurging Michael Rose highlights this set with his tune, Downpressor and he's joined by all star veteran Ranking Joe, with Rastaman Talk, Chronicle with Sweet Sinsemilla and Carlton Livingston's Once Was A Man. Also on board are big tunes from the likes of Rootsamala, Jah Mikey & Daddy Shark and the incomparable Papa Kojak.
Heartical's take on the Far East riddim is multi-platform and is currently already available on 7" Singles and is set to drop digitally on October 15, worldwide.

If on a winter's night a traveler
by Italo Calvino
Analysis: Tough-o-Meter
We've got your back. With the Tough-O-Meter, you'll know whether to bring extra layers or Swiss army knives as you summit the literary mountain. (10 = Toughest)
(8) Snow Line
No doubt about it. If on a winter's night a traveler is not your normal, straightforward story. It might take a good long pause to step back and realize what Calvino is doing—jumping from second-person narration into the first chapters of novels that don't actually exist. Throw in his tendency to go off on philosophical rants, and you've got a book that's going to toss you a few tough curveballs.
Once you become comfortable with identifying yourself as the Reader, though, it can all start to come together. You still might not understand everything the book is talking about; but worry not. Some of it is meant not to be understood.
