Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, sprang from an early passion for the derring-do and larger-than-life heroes of classic comic books. Now, once more mining the rich past, Chabon summons the rollicking spirit of legendary adventures–from The Arabian Nights to Alexandre Dumas to Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories–in a wonderful new novel brimming with breathless action, raucous humor, cliff-hanging suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy of Scheherazade's most tantalizing tales.
They're an odd pair, to be sure: pale, rail-thin, black-clad Zelikman, a moody, itinerant physician fond of jaunty headgear, and ex-soldier Amram, a gray-haired giant of a man as quick with a razor-tongued witticism as he is with a sharpened battle-ax. Brothers under the skin, comrades in arms, they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950, living as they please and surviving however they can–as blades and thieves for hire and as practiced bamboozlers, cheerfully separating the gullible from their money. No strangers to tight scrapes and close shaves, they've left many a fist shaking in their dust, tasted their share of enemy steel, and made good any number of hasty exits under hostile circumstances.
None of which has necessarily prepared them to be dragooned into service as escorts and defenders to a prince of the Khazar Empire. Usurped by his brutal uncle, the callow and decidedly ill-tempered young royal burns to reclaim his rightful throne. But doing so will demand wicked cunning, outrageous daring, and foolhardy bravado . . . not to mention an army. Zelikman and Amram can at least supply the former. But are these gentlemen of the road prepared to become generals in a full-scale revolution? The only certainty is that getting there–along a path paved with warriors and whores, evil emperors and extraordinary elephants, secrets, swordplay, and such stuff as the grandest adventures are made of–will be much more than half the fun.

Bozeman motorists are notorious for not fully preparing their cars in the morning for the commute during the winter. How many times have you seen the "one side of the windshield brush off" driving down the street?
Bucket List? We bet your bucket list doesn't include a few of these locations where any adrenaline junkie would feel right at home. This truly may be the custom made "Adrenaline Rush Bucket List"!
The days ARE getting longer but you and I both know that Winter is long around here. There's lots more snow to come before we get to don the flip flops again. This quick video was done by a guy just driving through, but his tone of voice says it all....
I love to travel as much as the next gal, but I've done far less in the last 24 months because it's just too expensive. 9 times out of 10 traveling can be classified as an unnecessary expense even though I'm a FIRM believer that traveling is good for you. Good or not, sometimes you just don't have the cash.
This might be one of my new favorite travel websites. (There is a fairly long list already.) Brett Snyder travels way more than I do but I DO feel like I have lived out of a suitcase for the past six months or so.
You won't believe what people don't take with them when getting off a plane.
A good friend of mine who's in her 40s JUST GOT HER FIRST PASSPORT. She's thrilled and so am I. Just having one gives you the freedom to do more than you could yesterday. Stupidly, getting a passport was something I thought everybody did as soon as they could pronounce the word 'departure'.
Vegas is a popular destination for Bozeman folks. With Allegiant Air flying direct twice a week with crazy cheap fairs, it's no wonder. But, sorry: I'M NOT GOING TO VEGAS WITH YOU. (Pictured: Erin and me in Sin City.)
Vacation season is NOT over. There's still PLENTY of time to enjoy our great state. In fact if you're like many Bozemanites I've spoken to recently, you may not have taken a vacation yet this year. Taking a break is good for you!
Even Montana Natives haven't seen everything this state has to offer. I've been here for almost 20 years and there are TONS of places I haven't seen. You still have time to plan a late summer road trip and since staying close to home costs less than flying half way around the world, here's my tip on how to have a blast on a budget. Stay here.
I'm a big fan of PARTS of Billings and the Northern Hotel on North Broadway is one of my FAVORITE parts. I was thrilled to see a press release come down naming the Northern Hotel to the National Registry of Historic Places. Take a look for yourself and stop in the next time you find yourself in Billings.

Brandon man charged with arson on own houseBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | April 01,2014State Police Photo
Ethan McArdleBRANDON - Vermont State Police say a fire at a home on Carver Street Monday was an act of arson.
After firefighters doused a blaze at 59 Carver Street Monday morning, police arrested one of the home's owners, 33-year-old
Ethan McArdle and charged him with first degree arson and reckless endangerment.
The fire at the home was the second in a 24-hour period, police say. The first fire was in the basement and was quickly put out on Sunday.
The second, which started on the home's second floor, was fully involved when firefighters arrived at the scene. That fire was put out before the home could be destroyed and a fire investigator with the state police was called to examine the scene along with an accelerant sniffing police dog.
The investigation revealed the fire on Monday was intentionally set.
McArdle was issued a citation to appear in court at a later date.
Anyone with information about the blaze is asked to call state police Detective. Sgt. David Sutton at 773-9101.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

I was contacted by this company under the following names:
Career Market Search - and email@example.com .
An earlier report in July about this company piqued my interest. I did not have trouble getting logged into the site.
However, my complaint about the site is when I returned to their site as requested to continue the application process I was made to fill out a request for references. I was not allowed to choose to supply how my references were to be contacted, I had no choice but to supply both an e-mail address and a contact phone number. References often supply only a phone number for contact, as they do not wish to wind up "spammed" by e-mail. Or in my case the reference works an evening/overnight shift and only wishes contact by e-mail.
I managed to locate an e-mail address on their web site for contact information to inform them that I had a problem with their request, and when I sent the e-mail I got a return e-mail that their contact address was invalid!
Screams of rip-off to me!!! I only hope my references are not "spammed" or telemarketed by these scandolous fakers! I will never apply to a blind "confidential" company again!

I firmly believe that Cooper has not gotten a fair shake because of his skin color. Let's open up that avenue of debate. — J.T. Edwards
It has only recently come to my attention that Cecil Cooper is a black man. I learned this only because you brought it up, J.T. I am color blind.
Let's pause now for a random thought on race. If someone tells you he is color blind, he is lying. No one is color blind. Nor should anyone be color blind.
I don't trust people who tell me they're color blind. I've found that racists tend to say they're color blind.
I'll say right upfront that if we meet, I'm going to notice certain things about you. For instance, I'll definitely take note of the color of you skin. I will also notice how tall you are, what kind of clothing you wear and whether or not your wife is hot.
George W. Bush frequently would ask visitors to the White House how much they exercised. He would quiz them on their exercise habits, and apparently compare them to his own.
Do I draw conclusions about you based on the facts I learn in the first five seconds? Yes, I do. I don't apologize for this. I read Malcom Gladwell, too.
OK, now I've delayed getting to the meat of today's topic for as long as I can. Actually, I began writing this post a couple of days ago, killed it out twice and started over again.
This post is about race, and race is a topic many people are uncomfortable with. I don't know why this is. It could have something to do with the fact that our country has an interesting history with race relations.
I define interesting as Southern cops opening up the water hoses on black demonstrators and cracking a few skulls. Let's not make this a Southern thing. Boston, Chicago, etc., had their share of racists.
The Washington Redskins were the last NFL team to have a black player. Yes, Washington.
Bobby Mitchell was that player, and he was spat on, cursed and threatened. Welcome to Washington, boy.
I like this headline from The Onion: Southern Sheriff Pulls Over Obama Campaign Bus.
"Where's the fire, son?" the sheriff is quoted as saying, or something similar.
Not that long ago, black folks couldn't eat in our coffee shops or attend our schools. We've come a long way since then, but we've got a long way to go.
Silly me, I thought electing Barack Obama would be a good thing for race relations in this country. Instead, his election has sparked the growth of hate groups and racially charged commentary on radio and TV.
A church-going man recently told me this joke: Had I heard that President Obama is turning the Rose Garden into a water-melon patch?
How did I react? I think I smiled, or nodded, or maybe laughed. How else do you deal with such ignorance?
Just the other day, I saw a guy in a big truck headed up I-45. On the back of his truck was a bumper sticker with two rebel flags and the words, "Impeach Obama."
I'm OK with his wanting to impeach the president, but the rebel flags told me his differences with Obama had nothing to do with health care or Supreme Court appointments.
At least this guy was out in the open. Give him credit for that. He didn't run around whispering water melon jokes while holding a Bible.
Several times when I've written something critical about Cecil Cooper, I've gotten a good roll of the eyes from a couple of African-American media members in this area.
I've gotten emails accusing me of being racist because I dared to criticize a black manager. It's the same thing when I criticize Miguel Tejada or Carlos Lee. Some people see me as tougher on them because of the color of their skin.
I know that when Drayton McLane fires Cecil Cooper, there are going to be people accusing the Astros of racism.
I asked McLane the other day if race would play a role in Cooper keeping or losing his job.
"No," he said, "it had nothing to do with his hiring."
I don't believe this for a second, and neither should you.
Now to you, J.T. You seem to be saying Cecil Cooper has done a good job because he's black and that he's going to get fired because he's black. What a bunch of drivel.
All you're going to do is stir up the morons that show up at at the president's speeches with guns, the people that have rebel flags on their trucks, the people that use health-care reform as an excuse to scream about a president they're always going to hate, in part, because of his skin color.
I may be a racist, my man, but to me, you're the worst kind of racist. You're saying Cecil Cooper should keep his job because he's black. In other words, you're saying there are no competent blacks so we should have an incompetent black man just to maintain some sort of quota.
You're insulting every black man and woman on earth. I'm for affirmative action because it forces middle-aged white men like me to hire and listen to people that might see the world differently. Otherwise, only middle-aged white men would run the world.
Cecil Cooper hasn't done a good job, and that would be true whether he was white, brown or black. I was all for his hiring because I thought he deserved a chance, and skin color was part of it.
I liked the idea of having a black manager because it said something good about a franchise that had an all-white lineup a few years ago.
The talk is getting heavy and I'm traveling light (thanks, Chuck Pyle), so let's pause for some humor.
On the day Preston Wilson showed up for spring training, I asked Phil Garner, "Which one is Preston Wilson?"
He smiled, but didn't bite.
Later that day, I shook Wilson's hand and said, "Preston, I can't put my finger on it, but you seem somehow different from the other Astros."
He announced he was going to rent himself to one teammate a day during spring training.
"And then they'd all have a black friend," he said.
As an industry, baseball has had a tough time with racial fairness issues through the years. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, but he didn't tear it down.
"Check out the box score of the 1968 All-Star Game," Bud Selig once told me. "Do you think that's a coincidence?"
He meant that National League teams had been much more aggressive than American League teams in signing black players.
When the number of black players in baseball became alarmingly low a few years ago, it didn't upset Selig because he believed baseball needed a certain number of each minority. It upset him because he worried that the diminishing numbers were an indication that black kids weren't getting an opportunity to play baseball.
He believed in his heart that scouts would sign any player regardless of color, but something clearly was going on. Why had baseball become less appealing to black kids than the NBA and NFL?
Some of the change was because the NBA and NFL had done a better job marketing and making itself appealing. Most of it probably was the fact that many schools can't afford a baseball program. Baseball is an expensive sport in terms of equipment. Baseball fields are expensive to maintain.
MLB has opened one youth baseball academy and is building several more all over the country in the hopes of giving every kid a chance to play. Already, the first academy in Compton, Calif., has had an impact in the draft. Thank you, Bud Selig.
I don't know where this accomplishment ranks on the long, long list of good he has done for baseball, but it's way up there.
As for Cecil Cooper, he got his chance. He screwed it up. He needs to go. If you're saying he's only part of what's wrong with the Astros, I would agree with you.
I'm uncomfortable that Coop and his coaches could be made to walk the plank while Drayton, Tal and Ed roll merrily along.
Their mistakes are far worse than Cecil Cooper's mistakes. My defense of Ed Wade would be that it's impossible to assess him accurately unless you'd walked a mile in his shoes and knew what it was like to work for The Tall Grocer.
If Drayton McLane cleaned house, it would be tough to argue with the decision. That is, if he replaced them with more competent people.
Ed, Tal and Drayton must be evaluated together. Kaz Matsui, Mike Hampton, Russ Ortiz and Pudge Rodriguez were bad moves. Miguel Tejada was a bad move when you consider he took up money that could have been spent on the rotation.
If you want to defend any single move, I'd tell you to look at the standings. End of discussion.
Their performance is a separate issue. Their mistakes don't change the evaluation of Cecil Cooper.
He appears to have reached out to his players and attempted to build relationships the last few months. But it's too late. What's done is done. He's toast in the clubhouse.
I've thought that instead of firing him, the Astros could give him a better coaching staff and a numbers guru to explain the folly of some of his strategic decisions.
Instead of firing the man, why not try to change the man? Surround him with smarter people and see what happens.
I've come to like him, and believe me, I'm in the minority. Others see him as angry and simply not very good at his job.
The problem with changing the people around him is that he might not listen. He seems to want to be his own man, do it his own way.
My guess is that he'll be fired and replaced by third-base coach Dave Clark. Players that played for Clark in the minors are effusive in their praise of him, and he's very popular in the big league clubhouse.
One other thing about Dave Clark. He's black. And if walks Nick Johnson to get to Hanley Ramirez, if he bunts too often or if he plays the infield close in the second inning, he'll be criticized the same way Cecil Cooper has been. I apologize in advance.

The funny thing is that i had it running with w3 total cache for about 14 days ago. All admin pages went white after trying to update once. Ignored it for a while but had to fix it (reinstall).

The Hardest to Get In ranking assesses the difficulty of admissions at traditional four-year colleges and universities in the United States. It uses data sourced from the U.S. Department of Education.
A high ranking in Hardest to Get In generally indicates that:
At the time of calculation, our database contained records for 2,245 public and private, traditional four-year colleges and universities across the United States. For the purposes of this ranking, a "traditional" college is considered to be any accredited, non-profit post-secondary institution that primarily offers four-year degree programs (as opposed to two-year or less). Some colleges were not included in this ranking if: (1) they were not located in one of the 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia; (2) they had fewer than 100 full-time undergraduate students; or (3) they had insufficient data (see below). The final ranking results in 1,349 colleges receiving a numerical ranking.
Statistics obtained from the U.S. Department of Education represent the most recent data available, usually from either 2012–2013 or 2013–2014, as self-reported by the colleges.
The process used to compute this ranking was as follows:
While our ranking shows the Top 100 colleges, we use grades to provide the user some context to those rankings and also to provide insight into colleges that did not make the Top 100. It's important to focus on more than just the number in the ranking. Given the high number of colleges included in this ranking, there may not be a large gap between the 15th and 30th ranked colleges. In reality, both are exceptional colleges when compared to the total population of all colleges nationwide. Grades are assigned based on how each college performs compared to all other colleges included in the ranking by using the following distribution of grades and z-scores:
Note that we intentionally did not assign a grade below D- to any colleges.
Of the 2,245 colleges analyzed, 1,349 received a numerical ranking. The top ranked college was Harvard University, which had a final score that was over three standard deviations above the mean college. Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology all scored very highly, just slightly below Harvard.

If I could say or write anything about the newly launched RH Modern line from Restoration Hardware it would just be a bunch of heart eyed emojis because it's amazing! I'm in love with their take on contemporary furniture, lighting and décor. The rooms are impeccably styled and still exude Restoration's brand but with a whole new sleek look. For myself, as a designer, I think it's a bit difficult to really define my sense of style because it's always changing and evolving into something new based on my experiences and what's new to the market.

It's been a few weeks since the big Dinner x Design event that took place at the end of September. I finally feel like I've started to catch up after a very busy month! Dinner x Design is an annual event hosted by the Social Concierge and GE Monogram where 15 designers and event planners design a tablescape for ten people in a 12'x 12′ space. There are no 'rules' so you are free to design your space however you choose and I was very fortunate to partner with some wonderful companies to see my vision come to life…..

I was approached by Chairish, a curator-approved online marketplace for vintage and used furniture, to put together a "shabby chic" design for a room of my choice! Since my favourite room to decorate is the living room, I started out on their site by selecting a few different rugs and sofas. I'm always a fan of mixing different styles, so I incorporated that into the design and put my own spin on shabby chic style. One of my favourite looks is mixing more traditional elements like the Louis accent chair with a sleek and modern marble coffee table. The key to….

We're getting to the final stages of our project downtown, so I've been sourcing accessories which is an absolute favourite part of my job. The styling and décor at the end can really make or break a space. I find it can also really steer a design in the right or wrong direction so it has to be really carefully put together.

Here are the pictures of my showcase reveal! The concept behind my showcase design is comfortable luxury. Great design is all in the details. By paying close attention to the details, I was able to design this bedroom showcase at Once A tree Furniture that exudes this concept: luxury can be comfortable. There are little touches in this room that add to that sense of luxury like the Grasscloth wallpaper, the sateen bedding and the accents of gold. Yet the layered rugs, cozy chairs and fireplace really make this space comfortable and approachable. Mixing textures is always key to creating….

I can never get enough of Lee Kleinhelter's spaces- they're chic, glamorous, yet totally livable. I got to tour a den and powder room she designed in the Elle Décor Concept House last year in New York and it was amazing. A small space, but high impact! The powder room walls were black & white striped and gold sea urchins lined the den walls. Sorry for the photo quality, but you get the jist. Lonny featured this model apartment below in their June issue and I fell in love immediately. A combo of black and white is one of my favourite pairings in décor and….

I've never been to Nantucket Island, but if I ever go, I'll stay at White Elephant Village! Designer Kathleen Hay created this beautiful space and kept it modern while instilling the traditional charm that is Nantucket. I love how she designed the Inn with a beachy vibe, but it's still subtle enough and doesn't look to theme-y. How much fun would it be to design a boutique hotel? That's definitely on my design bucket list….. Amanda Images via White Elephant Village

Update on McClung Tower Repair Work
Consulting engineers have determined that exterior repair work is needed on all four corners of McClung Tower, according to Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Services Dave Irvin. Workers discovered last month that a large section of concrete had separated from the bottom of McClung Tower's second floor, on the west side of the building. The area will remain cordoned off as the university works to bid the job, which will be classified as an emergency repair.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Preview and video interview of the latest from Firaxis.
In an ever changing landscape of gaming, Civilization has remained a constant. Its blend of strategy, micromanagement, and intellectual gameplay has created a legion of fans devoted to raising a nation from a single settler into a globe-dominating cultural force. And with Civilization IV's radically new interface and graphics engine, the series looks to do it all again. We recently sat with Jesse Smith, producer of the game for Firaxis, to look at an early build of the eagerly anticipated heir to the throne of strategy gaming.
Upon loading up a game, the first thing you will notice is the new look to the world itself. Whereas previous versions of Civ were essentially flat maps with sprites pasted on top, Civ IV is an organic 3D world in every regard. The game smoothly scrolls from a global view (complete with clouds and planet rotation) all the way down to a 3/4th Warcraft III style perspective. The landscape is richly detailed, and resources on the map (such as horses or elephants) actually move around in their square, allowing more action to take place on screen. Incidentally, players can switch between standard grids and Civ III-style isometric grids, to give a feel along the lines of modern real-time strategy games.
Cities, the most important part of any Civilization game, have changed dramatically since the last time around. Owing to the new 3D engine, city graphics show you everything that is in a city right on the world map, eliminating the need to check the city screen for most information. We were shown a city that had a barracks and Pyramids sitting amongst some small mud-huts. Right-clicking on the city brought up contextual menus, which showed most functions such as build orders and governor adjustment. Governors are a much larger part of this game, as the developers aim to take a lot of the hassle out of micromanagement. The governor interface has become much more fully featured, allowing for greater control over automation.
Inside the city menu, long time players will find another shock, as older-style text based menus have all been replaced with graphical icons, and a lot of information has been removed from the screen. City information (in terms of production, science output, culture, and commerce) is displayed on the left side of the screen, while citizen information is on the right. Here, citizens can be assigned tasks -- either as default producers or specialists -- which now include more options than were previously available in earlier Civs. The bottom of this screen has icons representing all of the available units and buildings for the production queue.
Astute eyes looking at the city screen will notice one thing immediately (well, aside from the fact that traditional shields representing production have been replaced by hammers, and sheaves of wheat for food have been replaced by bread) -- there is no corruption. Yes, the bane of every Civ player has finally been done away with completely. "It was a legacy thing that we could never get to work right, and just irritated players, so we took it out," says Smith. Instead, the concept of corruption is replaced with city maintenance costs. This way, cities at the fringes of the empire won't be crippled and unable to produce buildings and units at more than a snail's pace. Former corruption-reducing buildings, such as courthouses, will instead lower the city maintenance cost. Hardcore fans with their complex corruption calculators may be disappointed by this, but for everyone else, removing corruption means a lot less time spent analyzing exact placements and more time enjoying the game.

Don't sacrifice Gameplay for Graphics!Posted: Aug 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by videoordvd
I too am pumped for the latest edition of Sid Meier's epic series. I just hope they don't muck up the classic game play we all know and love the series for in an attempt to streamline things and bring the series closer to its RTS cousins. Civilization fans love micromanagement. If we wanted an automated process, we'd be playing an RTS. If they manage to keep an eye on the game play while adding those fabulous graphics, however, then I predict many a happy virtual world leader come December.
Awesome!Posted: Jul 26, 2005 12:00AM PST by Oldman_Scrooge
I started off playing Civ 1, That's when I got hooked! Civ 3 was ok, but my fav is Civ 2. I hope this one turns out great!
Too far awayPosted: Jul 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by therealrider
I can hardly wait. Got into the Civ series with 3 and loved it. I can't wait for 4. It looks like it'll have even deeper gameplay. It also looks better graphically. 3 was great, but 4 looks even better.
4 is almost here !?!?!Posted: Jun 30, 2005 12:00AM PST by Vengentz
I never even noticed that a few years have passed as I'm still playing Civ 3. It never gets old and the series always gets better while not messing up what worked before. As a review I saw somewhere, "1/3 proven, 1/3 improved, 1/3 all new". Whats not to love?
change is goodPosted: Jun 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by talinthas
Remember, when civ 3 came out, it was a DRASTIC change from civ 1/2. Now, no one would even dream of going back. Civ 4 is freakin' awesome looking, yet still maintains the core of civ that made us all love it in the first place.
AiightPosted: Jun 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by trini_chillin
it looks aiight but a little too complex for my liking...AOE III is gonna be better
Something NewPosted: Jun 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by TehLumberjack
This scares me, and excites me, if they do what they say right, this will be an amazing advancement in the civ series and will probably ruin my GPA. But messing with a tried and true formula has the potention to ruin one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Here's to holding serve and making something solid out of the new style. Maybe they could include the old rules and setup in the game with the new graphics so if the new engine bombs I can at least feel good about how shiney my old Civ looks...

NGA is pioneering activity-based intelligence, which Director Letitia Long said will help the agency find the "unknown unknowns, and discover them more quickly than ever before."
Imagine an environment based on seamlessly integrated intelligence that is so immersive that geospatial analysts in the intelligence community are able to "live within the data."
That futuristic-sounding scenario is on pace to be reality by 2020 at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, according to NGA Director Letitia Long, who spoke at a conference hosted by Esri in February.
NGA's Map of the World will serve as the backbone for the agency's innovative geospatial efforts, which are outlined in the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise initiative.
Decades ago, static maps were usually enough to satisfy the geospatial appetites of the 17 intelligence agencies, but major advances in cloud computing, mobile technology, networking, data transfer and computing in general now allow for immediate access to geospatial data processed by NGA.
Long said the Map of the World is the platform for all geo-intelligence, multisource content and knowledge, with corresponding analysis and reporting stored there as well. Imagery from satellites, maritime and air safety data, and a smorgasbord of other types of geospatial information are available to analysts with the proper credentials. And it all has been processed, curated and meta-tagged.
Main feature: Why maps matter
State Department: Mapping the humanitarian crisis in Syria
NGA: Seeking full immersion in geospatial data
Previous mapping and geodata coverage
Using the Map of the World, analysts can focus on a geographic point in time and see layers upon layers of what is happening. The data is not, however, limited to geographic information. The Map of the World can also use social media and countless other datasets to highlight any object of interest, which can include human targets, at a highly detailed level to better show the true story.
Map of the World information is then made available via the Globe, a Web portal through which NGA shares intelligence information.
"In the past, you had to access multiple databases and search by hand for hours, sometimes even days, to find our information. That doesn't cut it in our rapidly changing world," Long said. "Map of the World provides a seamless, integrated environment so analysts can live within that data. [Our interest] is all about national security -- geospatial content far beyond any commercial offering.... All this content [is] tailored for specific defense, intelligence community and senior decision-makers' requirements."
NGA's Map of the World and its current geospatial capabilities will see improvements in the coming years, the biggest of which might occur through big-data analytics, Long said. NGA is pioneering activity-based intelligence, which Long said will help the agency find the "unknown unknowns, and discover them more quickly than ever before."
The automated process allows analysts to find answers to questions more quickly because its systems sift through petabytes of geospatial data in real time. Long said the bottom line is more insight so "our policy-makers and warfighters make better decisions."
"Everything exists, every activity occurs, and everyone is somewhere at some time," she added.

NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities have euthanized a 215-pound black bear after it opened the door to a Panhandle house and tried to enter.
It ran into the woods after the homeowner yelled at it.
Officials say the bear was one of two that have been raiding neighborhoods in Niceville and Valparaiso for food.
Andrew Jernigan of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says this bear crossed the line with the door incident.
The agency's policy holds that if a bear goes inside a human structure, it's become too comfortable with humans.
Niceville Police Lieutenant Randy Sallee says the homeowner was cooking at the time and that the bear smelled the food.

Early Spring Race Recap
The Denver Track Club has long-avoided road competitions since it's creation in 2012 because of a complicated sponsorship. With a new sense of independence, our mission was to become a part of the Denver road racing community. We believe that we have reached our goal during the 2016 Cherry Creek Sneak!
10 Miler: Ian Butler and Yianna Antonopoulos took 1st in the men's and Women's 10 Miler! Danielle Schmieder placed 4th (1st AG), Andrew Halverson (2nd AG), and Dyami Rolen placed 5th in his age group!
1.5 Mile Sneak Sprint: Mesfin Ferede established a new course record of 6:46 while averaging 4:30 per mile!
5k: Liz Fassel, Kelsey Desjarlais, Jenny Riat, and Megan Derschang all finished in the lead pack with an impressive 1-2-3-4 finish (respectively) in their Age Group!
The 2016 Horsetooth Half-Marathon was held during a powerful snow storm that left many Coloradans stranded. Undeterred, Matthew Matuszak and Ruth Waller-Liddle braved the brutal conditions and finished in 2nd and third places in the men's and women's divisions!
2016 Runnin' of the Green 7k & USATF Championships
The weekend of 11-13 March was our team's biggest challenge to date. With the 2016 Indoor Track & Field Championships on the West Coast, the USA Track & Field 15k Championships on the East Coast, and the Runnin' of the Green in Denver. This was an incredible opportunity for our team to test our mettle and make ourselves known at the local and national elite levels.
2016 USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships
Mark Husted was our team's representative for the Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon. Mark started his 800 meter race from the inside lane. This was less than ideal because runners tend to make a bit of contact on the tight 200 meter tracks. In an attempt to prevent himself from getting tangled up with the other runners, he accelerated as hard as he could through the first turn. Despite his efforts to prevent contact, his competitors crashed into him at the breakline and forced him to make the decision to give up his position. Mark was unable to find an opportunity to pass throughout the race and was unable to advance to the finals.
2016 USATF 15K Championships
This year's 15k Championships were hosted by the Gate River Run in Jacksonville, Florida. Ian Butler had a great start to his 15k, he even carried the lead on many occasions! Although Butler has incredible talent as a runner, his lack of experience with running in the sweltering conditions found in the Eastern United States began to show. His pace eventually slowed but he kept fighting to the point where he nearly became oblivious to what was happening. Butler fought with everything that he had and finished in an impressive 47 minutes, and was 19th overall in the elite field!
The next day when we received him from the airport, his shirt was inside out with deodorant stains. this is further proof that he gave his all and we are proud of him!
2016 Runnin of the Green
The 2016 Runnin' of the Green didn't go quite as planned; our elite athletes had USATF Championship commitments and a few athletes were injured or unavailable. Although we had our challenges, our team of young runners all had top 10 finishes at a race that attracts 10,000 runners annually!
Jeo Mendez (4th overall/3rd Age Group)
Micah Dettmer (8th overall/4th Age Group)
Andrew Halverson (23 overall/7th Age Group)
Taylor Nowlin (7th overall/3rd Age Group)
Jen Riat (17th overall/ 6th Age Group)
Superbowl Weekend Race Report
Last weekend was a successful week for Denver's sports teams; the Broncos won the Superbowl and the DTC had scores of wins and top finishes!
2016 Frank Sevigne Invitational (Nebraska)
Mark Husted placed third overall in an elite 800m race!
2016 Superbowl 5k (Denver)
Sophia Galleher cruised to an easy first place finish prior to hitting the track for 400m repeats.
2016 Super Half-Marathon (Colorado Springs)
Olivia Long is slowly getting herself back into race shape after a long bout with persistent injuries. Amazingly, she placed 14th overall overall! She's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
USATF Mid-America Regional Championships (Colorado Springs)
Although we are in the middle of our NCAA competition season, we could not pass up the opportunity to support our local track community; and get a good workout from it.
-800m: Mesfin Ferede opened up the meet for us with a turbine-smooth 800m and a clean win! On the women's side, Ruth Waller took the win, Taylor Nowlin ran cautiously but still got third, and Rae Moreland fought off an aggressive Colorado College runner to secure 5th place.
-60m: This meet allowed athletes to do standing starts so Badger decided to see how well his 800m starting form would hold against sprinters in blocks. As the gun fired, his first step was predictably bad, but he eventually caught up to his rival and beat him!
-1500m: Ferede was back in action for another smooth win! Dan Spale won his Masters Age group with a blistering 4:48! Ruth placed first, Taylor second, and Rae finished in sixth!
-200m: Ferede took 2nd overall with a time that's competitive with his outdoor efforts! It is going to be a great year for him!
-3000m: Taylor led the women's 3000m with a great looking race, but we could tell that she was tired at this point. Jenny Riat was new to track and field and this was her first track event! She stayed strong for a mid-pack finish!
400m: Ferede again, of course… Up against some tough competition, Mesfin pushed as hard as he could, but was not able to defeat the well-rested runners at this point in the meet. Mesfin came in third place!
4x250m: Badger and Ferede could not find teammates to help them with the relay so they decided to try and win it with two people. After gaining a 30 meter lead, the team retired from P1. Our distance women did a great job holding off the female sprinters from Colorado College, but after a heavy day of racing the best we could do was 2nd place in the event.
DTC earned a total of 14 medals at this event! Great effort team!
2016 CSM Twilight Classic
Our 2016 season had a small start, but it appears that we have hit our stride at this year's CSM Twilight Classic. With 12 athletes scheduled, this was certainly our largest meet to date!
Our meet began with the 5000m. On the women's side Danielle Magargee led our group early on by pushing the pace through the first mile. During the second mile, Magargee relinquished the lead to her teammate Sophia Galleher who was later overtaken by Yianna Antonopoulos. Shortly after taking the lead, she was challenged by Samantha Barela (Johnson & Wales), her rival from the cross country season. Yianna had close races in the past, but never lost to Samantha. Unfortunately, she could not hold on for the win this time… Our women's finishing order: Yianna 2nd, Sophie Galleher 3rd, Magargee 5th, and Derschang 6th. Great teamwork ladies!
On the men's side Jeo Mendez traded positions with Chris Davis (Metro State) and eventually bested him for a 4th overall finish. The results are incorrect because a mistake with the lap counter…
The next event was the men's and women's mile. First up was Ruth Waller who was unsure about her fitness for the race. In a typical "Ruth" fashion, her start was a cause for concern, but later came back to punish the field with her speed! Ruth went on to place 2nd overall. Micah Dettmer held things down on the men's side. Early on, he sensed that the pace was too fast so he conserved and made his moves as the others began to tire. Dettmer finished in 9th overall!
Our final event of the day was the 800 meters! Leading #Team800 was Ruth Waller again! Still fatigued from the mile, Ruth set out for an easy race in section 4 where she took command and won by more than 8 seconds! Mesfin Ferede was the first of our men to see action in the 800m. Mesfin did not fear a fast pace so he and the others covered the first 400m in 56 seconds! After a blazing fast 400m split, all of the runners had gotten themselves tied up, but Ferede stayed strong for a 3rd place finish in heat 2! Next up was Ryan Parker and Sanders. Parker went for a spectacular heat win with a fast kick, and Sanders placed 5th!
Great job DTC! Our next meet will be on February 20th, and also held at the Colorado School of Mines. We will see you there!
2016 Potts Indoor Invitational
There was much excitement about the opportunity to race at Colorado's new state-of-the-art facility. Unfortunately this excitement turned to disappointment when the University of Colorado was forced to hold the 2016 Potts Indoor Invitational at their outdated, 78 year old Balch Fieldhouse. Many teams decided to cancel their plans to attend the meet, but our DTC members stayed committed to supporting the University of Colorado.
The 60 meters was our first event contested at this meet. Returning from a hamstring injury that ended his 2015 season prematurely, Badger's only goal for the meet was to stay injury free. He went on to finish 11th overall and remained injury free!
Our second event of the day was the 400 meters, which was raced by Sanders. Also returning from injury (plantar fasciitis) he lost a little bit of explosiveness from his start and he was the slowest out of the blocks. As the race progressed he made his way around his competitors and was closing quickly on the first place runner, but was unable to reel him in.
The DTC concluded the meet with two strong performances in the 800 meters. In heat 1 Chris Christoff decided to use wait until the last lap to outkick two of his competitors which allowed him to finish in 3rd overall! In heat 2 Ryan Parker got his first taste of 800m action in two years! Moving back down from long road races, Ryan was fit for the race aerobically but struggled to get more work out of his anaerobic system. We are proud of Ryan for maintaining his position against an aggressive runner that was determined to take him down.
Way to "Team 800"! We were able to score 3rd overall in the points! Next week 12 athletes will travel to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado to compete in our first Division 2 meet of the season. #GoDenver

"Nothing like 'em!"
Carlotta Caracci on 8/11/2016 12:07:47 PM
Review: I now cannot eat any other shrimp because they could never compare! I have never had shrimp like these. The quality is bar none.
Gwyn on 7/12/2016 10:56:33 AM
Review: Loved these. I had a little trouble with how they were packaged in the plastic container. I had to defrost all of them at once to get them out. Can you package them like you do the scallops?
"Spot Prawns Bad Packaging"
Lawrence H on 7/5/2016 12:59:35 PM
Review: Prawns taste good & that's not the problem, even though they are very over priced for what you get. The problem is that when they were received, the plastic container was completely shattered, scattering the frozen chunks of ice/prawns in the box chamber. The plastic container should have been wrapped with protection from the dry ice. - Thank you for ordering with Vital Choice. We are sorry to hear your Spot Prawns arrived in such poor condition. Our Customer Service Team will reach out to you today to discuss.
Thank you! Vital Choice

I wish they didn't have to be that expensive so we could enjoy them more often
Ken on 3/15/2016 10:02:53 AM
Review: So fresh. Haven't had shrimp this good since we trapped them in Alaska. The eggs on some of them was an added bonus.
"First try"
Anne-Marie on 1/20/2016 4:43:37 AM
Review: I did not like this item, it didn't taste fresh. - Thank you for ordering with Vital Choice. We are sorry to hear your disappointment in the Spot Prawns. Our Customer Service Team will contact you today to discuss further. Thank you! Vital Choice
"Spot prawns"
Patti on 12/18/2015 7:05:58 AM
Review: Great none better
"The best tasting shrimp ever"
Anne on 12/2/2015 2:27:53 PM
Review: These shrimp have a wonderful taste and texture. If you have grown accustomed to eating factory farmed shrimp, you will be very surprised at the big difference eating real shrimp makes. They do have a claw on the underside, so I recommend watching the video on how to clean them.
"Pacific Spot Prawns- raw, shell-on, frozen in seawater"
Susan on 10/15/2015 9:39:29 AM
Review: The prawns were absolutely delicious. We particularly liked having them packed in seawater which added just the right touch of salt.

Review: Where have you been all my life? Fantastically fresh, plump, sweet, simply put one of the foods I have ever put in my mouth. I sautéed in garlic butter with some diced onion and served over wild rice - yum! Buying more, thanks for a great taste treat!

I haven't used it extensively, but Rudix rescued me from package management hell with a working install of 'gettext'. I tried half a dozen different sets of install instructions, including MacPorts and Fink, and ran into trouble with all of them. With Rudix, I just downloaded a standard .pkg file, ran it, and had a working install. Smooth and easy.

The Icicle Works Melanie Still Hurts Lyrics
Last updated: 11/15/2004 11:00:00 AM
Julie's gone, Jackie's gone,
Carol's gone, where has she gone?
Melanie Still Hurts
Sarah's gone, Karen's gone,
Michelle has gone, where has she gone?
Flyin' high above the clouds,
Driftin' in my reverie,
All the time gone by does she remember me,
Remember me?

The Kings Of Summer
Comedy / Drama / Teen
Director: Jordan Vogt-Roberts
Running time: 95 mins Released: 23rd August 2013
About The Kings Of Summer
A sweet coming-of-age comedy drama that garnered much praise on the indie festival circuit. Joe (Nick Robinson) is going through that awkward stage of his adolescence. He is becoming increasingly frustrated by his lone parent Frank (Nick Offerman) who combines dry wit with a tendency to try to manage Joe's life for him. His best friend Patrick (Gabriel Basso) finds his own parents (Megan Mullally and Marc Evan Jackson) similarly grating. With the long summer stretching ahead of them Joe decides that they should build a secret house in the local woods. Somehow collecting a strange boy named Biaggio (Moises Arias) along the way, the friends will be challenged by the wilderness as they strive for an existence free from adult supervision.
