In Reply.—
I agree with Wender et al, as they have continued to find beneficial effects of stimulants in adults with ADD, that further work in this area is indicated, and that such work should use their inclusion criteria, if possible. The article by Wood et al1 was the impetus for our work; the emphasis by Wender et al2 on the PRS, and the current Utah criteria excluding certain diagnoses, were not available until after our study was under way.Hopefully, a stimulant-responsive subgroup of adults with ADD can be identified; however, as indicated by our article, it seems fair to say that stimulant response in adults with ADD is not as consistent as in children with ADD. The emphasis on the PRS seems arbitrary; one would expect the crucial factor to be the certainty of the childhood diagnosis. For example, a history of a diagnosis of ADD (or hyperactivity)

Mr. C's Convenience Store 8/15/13

Re: FDA Warning Letter Regarding Tobacco Retailer Inspection Violations
Reference Number: 13MO000738AB
Dear Sir or Madam:
This Warning Letter is notification from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advising you that Mr. C's Convenience Store was observed to be in violation of federal tobacco laws and regulations. Failure to correct these violations may lead to federal enforcement actions, including monetary penalties. Your response is requested in 15 working days.
On May 31 and June 4, 2013, an inspector representing the FDA completed a two-part inspection of the establishment, located at 705 North Highway 59, Anderson, MO 64831. During this inspection the establishment was in violation because you or your employee sold smokeless tobacco to a minor and because the establishment has a self-service display of cigarette tobacco in a facility not restricted to adults at all times.
This inspection revealed that the establishment sells, distributes, advertises, and/or promotes cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco, which requires that the establishment and its owners comply with federal laws and regulations governing such practices. The violations observed during the May 31 and June 4, 2013, two-part inspection include the following:
1. A minor was able to buy Red Seal Long Cut Wintergreen smokeless tobacco on May 31, 2013, at approximately 2:31 PM in the establishment.
A retailer must NOT sell cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco to a person younger than 18 years of age. Doing so violates 21 C.F.R. § 1140.14(a).
2. The establishment has a self-service display or an "impersonal" mode of sale that provides a consumer direct access to cigarette tobacco without restricting the facility to adults at all times. Specifically, on June 4, 2013, the inspector observed a customer-accessible sales shelf containing Bulger cigarette tobacco on the sales floor near the public restroom.
A retailer MUST sell cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco only in a direct, face-to-face exchange between the retailer and the consumer and cannot use a self-service display unless a retailer ensures that minors are neither present nor permitted to enter at any time. Failure to do so violates 21 C.F.R. § 1140.16(c).
The establishment fails to ensure that minors are neither present nor permitted to enter at any time as the establishment is open to the general public during business hours. Therefore, the establishment is not restricted. It is your responsibility to ensure that no person younger than 18 years of age is present or permitted to enter the establishment at any time, or to ensure that all cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco products are only sold in a direct, face-to-face exchange.
The listed violations cause your cigarette tobacco and smokeless tobacco to be "misbranded" under 903 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c).
You should immediately correct the violations listed above. Failure to correct the violations may result in FDA taking regulatory action without further notice. These actions may include, but are not limited to, civil money penalty, no-tobacco-sale order, seizure, and/or injunction.
The violations indicated in this letter may not be a complete list of violations at the establishment. The establishment must comply with all the applicable laws and regulations. For more information on these requirements, helpful resources for retailers, a database of inspections, and free Break the Chain of Tobacco Addiction materials, visit our website at http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts.
You have 15 working days from the date you receive this letter to respond. In your response, explain your plan for correcting the listed violations and preventing future violations. Include a telephone number and address. Note your reference number of 13MO000738AB in your response and mail it to:
SP-WL Response
FDA Center for Tobacco Products
9200 Corporate Boulevard
c/o Document Control Center
Rockville, Maryland 20850
If you have any questions, contact Ms. Sashka Mannion at (301) 796-3010 or via email at email@example.com. Have your reference number ready when you call and include it with any email communications.

Welcome, Marloe! Going primal is definately not about deprivation.
I spent 3-4 weeks battling the "low carb flu," then rebounded feeling AWESOME just when I was about to give up. I feel more satisfied than ever and am enjoying exploring a new cooking style (no grains, legumes, or dairy for me, thanks!) with nearly endless possiblities.
Stick around -- this is a very encouraging community.

We don't use PayPal for online donations but instead provide a secure credit card donation facility. This minimises transaction and administration costs for any donations we receive through the web and means more of your donation goes to support the environment.

ACF is fully committed to minimising our impact on the environment, including our use of paper. However, paper-based communications remain the most effective format to reach out to our supporters. To offset the impact of this, we ensure that wherever possible our paper-based communications are printed on 100% recycled materials, or on paper products sourced from responsibly managed forestry operations which are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. In addition to this, we are working hard to make sure that a smaller number of people receive our communications, but they are exactly the right audience for the message. This helps to minimise the number of letters being sent.
The print version of habitat is an automatic benefit of ACF membership. Become an ACF member today by visiting our membership page.
You can also download the habitat iPad magazine for free each issue. Visit the Apple App Store, search for habitat and download the magazine.
habitat is Australia's first fully-interactive environmental iPad magazine. The habitat app showcases longer versions of our fantastic print stories with additional multimedia content including video, photo galleries and animation. We also hope, over time, to transition our readership away from the habitat paper magazine. This will not only save paper, but will also save us money in print and postage costs!
Not yet. The habitat app is currently only available to download on an iPad. You can still download the print version as a pdf – it just won't have the enhanced and interactive content.

Sometimes apps don't install properly and need to be re-installed. Through iTunes, uninstall the application and re-install it again.

With any download over 20MB you should ensure that you are connected to the internet via WiFi, as cellular data (3G/4G) may take a long time and use a significant amount of the data from your data plan.

We need volunteers for variety of tasks at different times. These may include:
Organising – helping to organise and engage communities in campaign action.
Administration – mailouts, filing, word processing, spreadsheets. These are usually done at one of our offices.
Research – helping our campaigners by producing background information. This can often be done at home on the internet.
Events – helping staff at one of the many events ACF organises or is involved in.
Communications – promotion; design; website; writing and editing; library and information; website; computing.
ACF membership is not a requirement for volunteering. However, we hope that the more you learn about what we do, the more you will want to support us financially!
Our Melbourne office, located at Level 1, 60 Leicester St, Carlton, is our head office in the sustainable 60L Building. There are some opportunities to volunteer in our offices in Sydney, Canberra, Cairns and Broome. ACF also engages with volunteers who work from home.
We have some volunteers who come into the office every week but most get involved on a task-by-task basis. We regularly send out emails outlining tasks and volunteers reply as they are able.
An email address is not strictly required but volunteers are normally contacted for tasks through email. Volunteers not on email usually have to make arrangements with individual staff members to be contacted when required.
There is no set policy on this. ACF does not normally provide refunds for travel expenses to and from the office but expenses incurred in performing tasks can be considered for reimbursement.
ACF is not generally involved in hands-on conservation projects. For this work you would need to contact Conservation Volunteers Australia, a Friends group or your local Council. There are lots of suggestions for hands on conservation work on our volunteering links page.
ACF members are critical to the success of our organisation and our work.

Step into the Meddlesome Moth and it's not long before you realize you're in for a different kind of experience. The 2-week-old Design District establishment feels like an artsy pub - a big one, with mammoth, shimmering stained-glass windows angled over the dining room, handsome cherry-wood walls, a spacious patio and quirky paintings. Xiaomei Chen / staff photographer Stained-glass windows are angled over the dining room at the Meddlesome Moth in Dallas. View larger
But the focal point is the bar: Look at that long row of taps - 40 of them!
Though co-owner Shannon Wynne, the restaurateur who brought us Flying Saucer and Flying Fish, has called his new place "a bar with good food, rather than a restaurant with a good bar," chef Chad Kelley's ambitious menu would seem to indicate otherwise.
It's a wild, playful romp through smoked arctic char; rabbit, lamb and chicken pies; five versions of mussels; Point Judith squid filled with braised oxtails; and beef bone marrow with salsa verde and crispy capers. Oh, and "moth balls," which the menu calls "our shout out to The Spotted Pig NYC." That's the gastropub that chefs April Bloomfield and Mario Batali opened in Manhattan's West Village in 2004, turning New York dining on its head.
Yes sirree, this is a gastropub.
You'll start with a beer, of course - one of those 40 on draft, two live ales in cask or more than 75 beers in bottle. Can't decide which to order? The servers love to parse the difference between a Live Oak HefeWeizen and an Avery Maharaja Imperial India Pale Ale. They'll happily draw you a taste of each. Or you can ask for a flight - five different 5-ounce pours lined up in a colorful row. (Yes, there's wine, too; you'll find the selections on a brief photocopied page on the table.)
Then you can dine any way you like. At the bar, with a view of the taps; in a cozy booth, with a view of the room; or out on the patio, with a view of the flower-filled planters and bare-shouldered ladies. (Quick, dine outside, before it gets too hot!) You can choose share plates (not called "small plates," as they're not small), intriguing salads (how about arugula with finnochiona salami, tart apple and dried figs?) or "soloists," meant for hogging. The latter hold down the traditional corner of the menu: fish and chips, roast chicken, a tempting burger made with grass-fed Burgundy Pasture beef.
That romp won't break the bank. Share plates are $6 to $15, soloists $12 to $22.
And those moth balls? They're tender, white orbs the size of cherry tomatoes. Bite into one, and the texture on the outside says "matzo ball," but the flavor on the inside says "great ricotta." They swim in a shallow, creamy, brown-buttery pool and benefit from a delicate crunch of fried sage leaf. Sop up the extra sauce with a slice of crusty Empire Bakery bread. Drink your beer. Then try a Belgian ale.
It's a program that, with a little practice, a person could well become very good at.
The Meddlesome Moth, 1621 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas; 214-628-7900; www.mothinthe.net. Open nightly for dinner from 4 to 10:30, late-night menu served Sunday-Wednesday 10:30 to midnight and Thursday-Saturday 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Lunch service is planned beginning Tuesday.

Press Release
March 5, 2013
National Archives Celebrates "Sunshine Week" with Special Programs on March 11
Original FOIA Law on Display March 8-17
More Information
Washington, DC…The National Archives and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Ombudsman celebrate Sunshine Week on Monday, March 11, with two back-to-back programs at the National Archives Building in Washington, DC:
- 1 PM – View the original FOIA Law in the East Rotunda Gallery and hear remarks by Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero and Office of Information Services (OGIS) Director Miriam Nisbet; and
- 1:45 PM – Watch a demonstration of FOIAonline in the Washington Conference Room. FOIAonline is the multi-agency FOIA portal launched last fall to streamline the FOIA process for both agencies and requesters.
Note: Please RSVP to email@example.com for the March 11 programs.
The original Freedom of Information Act, Public Law 89-487, will be on public display from Friday, March 8, through Sunday, March 17. The display will be in the East Rotunda Gallery of the National Archives Building which is located on Constitution Avenue at 9th Street, NW. The museum is open from 10 AM to 5:30 PM through March 14, and 10 AM to 7 PM March 15 through Labor Day, daily. Admission is free.
One of the first countries to open access to government records, the United States passed the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on July 4, 1966. This law began a process to make government increasingly transparent. Today the public's "right to know" is considered one of the fundamental rights of a democratic government.
OGIS, referred to as the FOIA ombudsman, was created within the National Archives when the OPEN Government Act of 2007 amended the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552) (FOIA). OGIS began operations in September, 2009, and is charged with providing services to mediate disputes between FOIA requesters and Federal agencies; reviewing policies and procedures of administrative agencies under FOIA; reviewing agency compliance with FOIA; and recommending policy changes to the Congress and President to improve the administration of FOIA.

Wednesday 27th April 2011
It's been two whole hours since the internet originally went down. Only an hour and a half of this have I been awake for, however, having stayed up until 4am playing Final Fantasy XIV. If I had known that a catastrophe of this sort was going to hit this morning, I would have stayed up for a lot longer.
But I suppose we all think things like that. And I suppose we all think them a little too late.
You hear on the TV all the time about these things happening to people. Well, in movies, anyway. But the movies make you think that if you have a shotgun and a slightly rough-cut but very good looking main character you're going to be fine. Pretty people with shotguns can achieve anything, says Hollywood. But what about pretty people armed with nothing? All I have here is my keyboard. My trusty keyboard, connected to my PC. But a lot of good that does me without an internet connection doesn't it?
I just keep staring at that blinking modem light, waiting for it to stay solid. With solidity comes sanity. With solidity comes sociality. With sociality comes connection. And oh how I long to be connected once again.
I wonder if anyone has missed me yet? I wonder if my twitter buddies are wondering why it's been over 15 minutes since my last tweet. I wonder if anyone on Facebook has noticed my absence amidst their frantic 'liking' of random groups that have seemingly funny titles at the beginning but then later turn out to just be stupid.
Know what the worst part is? I just know that there are people out there with internet. There are people out there blogging right now. It's only a matter of time until they realise mine has gone down and come to rub it in my face. I don't know what I'll do then. I just don't know.
Managed to catch a few hours of sleep, which is a wonder for me under any circumstances, but especially today. Forced myself out of bed with the hope of solidity behind me only to be met with blinking. Always blinking. I've always had a fear of blinking lights. Not just because they're creepy, but because it seems as though they can never make up their mind. And the unexpected is never stable. It is never solid. Just like my modem.
I never thought he would turn on me too.
Ravenous. Need to eat. My last meal was yesterday, before the horror started. Searching the house the only thing I could find was a bunny. I told myself that I would never eat a poor defenceless animal, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Caressing it's foily skin and ringing the little bow around it's neck I stare lovingly at the animal I am about to slaughter for my own selfish hunger. It never did anything to me. All it did was sit there, but today I was going to kill it. Nay, I was going to give it a greater purpose in life. I was going to give this bunny meaning. But not before one final goodbye.
Farewell Lindt Chocolate Bunny. I hope you find a better place in my stomach than you did in my cupboard.
Received a phone call from a friend saying that she still had internet. It wouldn't last long, knowing the state of things, so I had to make a snap decision; race over there in the hopes the internet would still be there when I got there or remain in the safety of my own home waiting for the insanity of the blinking light to get to me. Easy decision I thought, so I grabbed my stuff and left as quick as I could.
Received a call from my brother who'd finally awoken from his deep slumber. It's funny how some people do that. The technological world around him had ended, and he slept straight through it, oblivious to it all.
"Jenn, our internet seems to be back up," he said.
For a moment I was shocked. I didn't know what to say. All these hours without internet and suddenly, it was back. Just like that?
"Oi did you hear me? Our internet is back up!"
"I heard you Daniel, geez. Thanks for telling me"
"Now can you come home and set up our network again? I wanna play TF2 on my laptop"
Everything was quiet at my friend's place; an oddity since everything is usually chaotic like a circus. We were all happily sitting watching television, grateful to have survived the technical apocalypse. My friend got off the couch and made her way to the computer to look something up, but before she could get there, a strangled cry came from the other room.
With fear in our eyes we all lurched towards the modem and sure enough, the light was blinking.
Always blinking.
Perhaps we had survived nothing at all. Perhaps this was only the beginning.
For them, anyway. I still had the internet over at my place.

Florida Gulf Coast sets women's 3-point record
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- Florida Gulf Coast sank 22 shots from 3-point range Saturday to break its own single-game Division I women's record in a 97-60 victory over East Tennessee State.
Betsy Adams, who finished with 25 points, made seven in 12 attempts, but she got plenty of help from her teammates as the Eagles (12-5, 5-0 Atlantic Sun Conference) took 43 long-range attempts, making 51.2 percent.
General McLane graduate Sarah Hansen made one of the 3-pointers (1-of-6, 4-of-9 overall field goals) for 12 points in 25 minutes of action. She also grabbed six rebounds, had three assists and two steals.
East Tennessee State (3-8, 1-3) was 2-of-3 behind the arc.
Florida Gulf Coast made 21 3-pointers in 51 attempts last season in a 106-27 victory over Webber International Nov. 28, 2011. That tied the record set by New Mexico State in 49 attempts during a 94-62 win over Louisiana-Lafayette Feb. 23, 2002.
Florida Gulf Coast was averaging 8 3-pointers in 27.8 attempts this season.
The men's Division I record is 28 -- in 74 attempts -- set by Troy Dec. 10, 1994.

My colleague Janet Elliott reports this afternoon that a federal judge has upheld a 2003 law requiring students in Texas to begin their school day with a moment of silence. The controversy centered on whether the law was an attempt to push religion in public schools.
U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn of Dallas said in her opinion that there wasn't doubt that several lawmakers desired to "put prayer back in schools," Elliott reports. But others said students could spend their 60 seconds doing something other than praying.
"Legislators repeatedly emphasized that students could stare at their shoes, think about upcoming exams, think about their pets, engage in other nonverbal activities during the moment of silence, as well as pray, if they wished," Lynn said.
So, teachers, how much shoe staring is going on in your classrooms, or are the students benefitting from, as Gov. Rick Perry put it, a dedicated time with their "innermost thoughts and contemplations"? Parents, what are you telling your students to do during those 60 seconds? And, of course, let us know if you agree or disagree with the judge's ruling.

Rory McIlroy has gotten off to a red-hot start to the 2014 season, but he is still looking for his first tournament win.
The 24-year-old star has finished in 11th place or better in each of his three match-play events. This is a vast improvement from last season's disaster where he could not win a single event and only totaled five top-10 finishes.
However, the former No. 1 player should have been disappointed with his recent second-place result at the Honda Classic. McIlroy led after each of the first three days, but shot four strokes over par on Sunday to ensure a playoff, which he lost to Russell Henley.
Still, the young player was able to look at the positives after the week, telling Sky Sports:
It was disappointing I didn't get the win, but if I look at the week as a whole there were so many things I did positive. I was up there in the putting stats, drove the ball well again. I just didn't play my best golf down the stretch under pressure when I needed to and that was the bottom line.
I can take positives from the week and I've played a practice round here (at Doral) and I'm still playing well, hitting it well and I feel confident I can get myself back in a position to win this week.
This week, McIlroy will face an even tougher field at Doral in the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship. With $1,530,000 on the line for the winner, you can be certain all the big names in the sport will be in attendance and ready to win.
Still, the Northern Irish player has as much momentum heading into this tournament as anyone in the field and he should be a top name to watch throughout the weekend.
Follow along with this tracker to get round-by-round updates of McIlroy through all four days in Miami.

In front of thousands of people, the annual Gulf Coast Carnival Association and Krewe of Neptune parades rolled on time. Periods of rain left the crowd and parade riders a bit wet, but the festivities never missed a beat.
The two parades, including the GCCA which is more than 100 years old and is the largest on the Coast with over 100 units, mark the traditional close of Mardi Gras season along the Mississippi Coast.
"It's a good time," said Ashley Hessell, attending her third Fat Tuesday in Biloxi. "A fun time to celebrate with family and friends. Last year the weather was better, but it's always a good time despite the weather."
For John Graham, owner of the Half Shell Oyster House on Lemeuse Street, Fat Tuesday is a mixture of business and pleasure.
"It helps get out name out with all the people down here," Graham said, "and obviously it's a good time for our staff. We're not that busy for about two hours during the parade, so they get to go out on the balcony and catch beads. We've got the front of the restaurant roped off for their families.
"We also sell burgers and beer on the street," he added. "It's just a good time for everybody."
Fellow restauranteur Danny Salvetti, owner of Salvetti's Italian Grill in Ocean Springs, was taking the day off, parking his RV along U.S. 90 the night before and attending the parade with his wife, Shaleigh, and their three children in what's becoming regular event for their family.
"It's just a great time to let the kids come down and have some fun," Salvetti said, "and carry on our parade tradition."
This was the first year Salvetti has parked his recently-purchased RV on the parade route.
"It's a lot of fun," he said sarcastically of the work involved in setting up his RV for the parade, "but it's worth it, especially when it's going to rain."
The two parades, which began at 1 p.m., roll back-to-back, and concluded about 3:15 p.m.

I'm glad the gal that left last week is gone....her ending song was awful.
Is it me or what....it seems like they are maybe at the most....4 people in the competition this year????
I find that the guys are soooooooooooo much better than the ladies.
Anyone want to venture a guess as to who's going home tonight???
I was surprised at the tall blonde girl that left.
Alex Lambert reminded me of a young Paul McCartney.
Does anyone know what's going on with Crystal??? She looks so sick.
Can't believe Paige is still on the show.
Can't believe Lilly is gone.

No shocker who got the boot!!
I have watched AI since the first year the show came on = but = I may stop watching this years show. They are ALL boring. No one stands out above the others.
I think Crystal is the best (channeling Janis Jopplin )
Glad DiDi got the boot. Now if Tim gets the boot next week...it's going to a real competition.
Sorry, but after watching Usher last night, there is no way that he could even think of taking over the King of Pop reign.....he does not come close even just a little bit to Michael. He may have had an off night but I wasn't impressed at all with his dancing.In February of 2010 when asked who he thought would fill Michael Jackson's place as the King of Pop Jay-Z stated he thought Usher would become the new King of Pop and said that he thought Ushers tribute to Michael Jackson was fantastic
Diddy with Dirty Money had a better show.
Last edited by Dee4707; 04-01-2010 at 02:10 PM.
I haven't watched. I guess my interest in the show is officially over.
I enjoy Usher - don't listen to his music, but of the men in his genre he's head over heels better in so many ways.
Don't think much of the singers so far and I don't think Ellen is much of a judge. She looks out of place. I don't know what her knowledge of singing is and what qualifies her as a judge - not that I miss Paula either. I don't think Ellen would be missed if she was not there. I wish I could take her place! The extra take home pay would be great. I doubt Ellen needs the extra cash....
What do you think about what happened last night??? I think the judges were wrong, wrong, wrong.
I loved Lee DeWyze having the bagpiper there, it was great watching the bagpiper rock out Hey Jude. I just loved it.

Uh........why do I feel like I'm talking to myself??? lol.
Anyhow, does anyone know the name of the guest star, the young black man, from April 6th. He was the young man that Kara signed.
Dee, The young man's name is Jason Derulo. I really enjoyed him!

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) made it three in a row today, gaining more than 100 points for the third consecutive session, rising 136 points, or 0.9%. The market seemed encouraged once again by easing tensions in Syria as President Obama last night said he would move forward with a Russian plan to try to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control, a move that could avert a U.S. military intervention. Elsewhere, a report showed a 13.5% drop in mortgage applications last week, indicating a possible slowdown in the housing market. However, homebuilder stocks moved up as the 10-year Treasury yield eased away from 3%.
IBM (NYSE: IBM ) was a big factor in the Dow's gain as the blue chips' biggest component moved up 2.2% after it agreed to sell its customer-care outsourcing business to Synnex for $505 million, $430 million of which will be in cash and $75 million in stock. The sale is part of IBM's plan to rid itself of lower-margin businesses so it can focus on driving growth in more profitable segments to grow EPS to $20 per share by 2015, up all the way from $15.25 last year. While investors may be cheering that strategy, the sale itself will do little to move the bottom line for a company worth more than $200 billion.
A day after its iPhone release was greeted with mostly shrugs, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) shares tumbled 5.4% as it received downgrades from Credit Suisse, Bank of America and UBS from buy to neutral. The market seemed disappointed not only in the higher-than-expected price point for the iPhone 5C, which analysts had hoped would serve as an entry-level smartphone for emerging markets, but also by the absence of a China Mobile deal. The latter, though, appears to be imminent, which would probably be Apple's quickest road to higher profits.
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) stock was headed in a similar direction, falling 0.8%, despite inking a deal with Google to provide its new Haswell chips for the search giant's Chromebooks. Even with the deal, investors seem to be betting that the chipmaker will have difficulty getting over the decline in PCs as Intel has struggled to get back to its 2012 heights. Seeing Apple flail after its latest release is only a reminder that the fortunes of tech companies are particularly fleeting.
Intel may be struggling, but it still has one of the Dow's best dividend yields.

Cleaning up line data with geoprocessing
Editing and data compilation are less commonly thought of as operations that can be automated through geoprocessing. However, ArcGIS 10 introduced the Editing toolbox, which contains a set of geoprocessing tools to perform bulk edits. These tools combined with others in the geoprocessing environment can automate data import and maintenance work. Automated data compilation tools are especially useful for importing data into a geodatabase but can also be employed on a regular schedule to perform routine quality assurance (QA) checks. In this entry, I will discuss the use of geoprocessing to clean CAD line data as part of the import process.

Lines that are created without the use of spatial integrity measures, such as snapping or topology, almost always contain some inconsistencies. These errors are likely in data that originated in formats such as CAD, shapefile, or KML. Fortunately, many common topological issues can be resolved in an automated manner by using ModelBuilder to link together tools that will import data into a geodatabase and perform standard data cleanup techniques.
I have a CAD file for a new subdivision that needs to be integrated with my existing GIS parcel data. The GIS data must be kept to stringent accuracy standards, so I need to fix any issues where lines do not connect to each other, overlap, or are duplicated. Rather than risk reducing the quality of the main parcels geodatabase, I can create a local temporary geodatabase where I can preprocess the CAD lines before introducing the features into the production geodatabase. Although the CAD file contains buildings, roads, text, registration tic marks, and other features, I plan to use only the parcel lot lines.
I have built a model that imports the CAD lines into a temporary scratch workspace, cleans and processes the lines, and then copies the corrected lines into an output file geodatabase. When importing CAD data into a geodatabase, I can choose from several available tools, including CAD to Geodatabase or Feature Class to Feature Class. The CAD to Geodatabase tool converts all the geometries in a drawing to individual feature classes, such as a line feature class for the parcel lines, annotation feature class for CAD text, and so on. In my case, I am using Feature Class to Feature Class tool because I need only the lot line geometry from the CAD file. This tool makes the model reusable because it can import many different formats and not simply CAD. In addition, the Feature Class to Feature Class tool allows for an SQL expression so I can further refine the import to include only the CAD features that satisfy an attribute query for lot lines (in this case, "Layer" = 'LOT-L').
Performing automated quality assurance on lines
Once the CAD parcel lot lines are imported into a geodatabase feature class, I can begin running tools to perform automated QA processes. Many tools are found in the Editing toolbox, although other toolboxes can be purposed for data compilation QA tasks. For example, I can start by using the Integrate tool in the Data Management toolbox to address minor inconsistencies in the line work. Integrate makes features coincident if they fall within the specified x,y tolerance. By using a small tolerance on Integrate (and other similar tools), I can avoid editing the data beyond the level of cleanup I intended. In addition, since I am running the tools on a copy of the data outside my production database, I can run the tools repeatedly to refine tolerance values to fix more issues in an automated manner. The intermediate data created as the model runs is maintained and can be reviewed in the scratch geodatabase.
After the dataset is integrated, I check for duplicated lines with the Delete Identical tool (Data Management toolbox). The dashed lines connecting to this tool represent preconditions, which are used to control the order of operations in a model. For example, the Integrated Lines output is a precondition to the Delete Identical tool. This way, the Delete Identical tool will not execute until the lines have been integrated.
The next part of the model identifies lines that are dangles. With the Feature Vertices to Points tool in the Data Management toolbox, I create a new point feature class containing the line endpoints that are not connected to any other lines. I can then use Select Layer By Location to identify the lines that intersect these dangling endpoints. The resulting selection represents lines with dangles.
Many of these dangle errors can be fixed by running the Editing toolbox's Trim Line, Extend Line, and Snap tools. Effective use of the Editing toolbox geoprocessing tools can improve productivity because the tools apply edits in bulk, such as to all features or all selected features. In most cases, the similar editing function applies to only one feature at a time. Because I exposed the tolerances as variables and model parameters, I can easily run the model with different values because the tolerance settings appear as input boxes on the tool's dialog box. For example, I am willing to extend or trim the lines from this CAD dataset initially up to a maximum length of five feet. After that procedure, I want to inspect the lines visually to see how many issues remain to ensure that I will not be making incorrect edits if I increase the tolerance value. I can change the tolerance as needed depending on the accuracy of the lines I am importing.
In addition, since my organization's spatial integrity rules indicate the parcel lines should be split and not intersect themselves, I can use a sequence of spatial and attribute queries to find the locations where lines have intersecting endpoints. Lines are often split so that each length can be attributed separately.
Once these processes have run, the lines are output into a feature dataset in a geodatabase and are much cleaner topologically. After the model completes, I can run the Feature Vertices to Points tool again on the cleaned output to see the remaining dangles and compare the current number of endpoints that are dangles (the yellow circles in the graphic) to the number in the original CAD lines (the red circles). While there may be a few remaining issues, there are less than before running the model. At this point, I can build a geodatabase topology to check for and repair any other errors. When I am satisfied that the lines meet the standards for our spatial data, I can import it into the production database.

Importing CAD Annotation
A common question the CAD team receives is how to preserve the original text height when importing a CAD annotation feature layer, or, if it has already been converted, how to scale it back to its intended size.
Define a Coordinate System
The best practice is to define a coordinate system for the CAD dataset before adding it to your map and before importing the annotation. More importantly, it needs to be a projected coordinate system with a unit of measure that matches the unit of measure the CAD file was created in.
Defining a projected coordinate system is important for two reasons:
First, if you don't define a coordinate system, the tool has no other recourse than to use its own default unit of measure, which is meters. If the source CAD drawing was created in meters, this is not a problem. But if the drawing was created in units other than meters, such as U.S. Survey feet, your text will convert to a size that is likely to be unusable.
Second, the Import CAD Annotation tool only references the coordinate system defined with the dataset, not the data frame. Therefore, you must define a coordinate system in a Catalog window before adding it to ArcMap if you want the tool to recognize one.
Convert to Geodatabase Annotation
After you've assigned a correct coordinate system and added the CAD data to your map, right-click the CAD annotation feature layer in the table of contents and click Convert to Geodatabase Annotation.
Run the Import CAD Annotation tool accepting the default parameters. When it has completed executing, the annotation will be added to your map.
Recalculate the FontSize Field
If instead, you no longer have access to the CAD file, but you know the unit of measure it was created with, then it is a simple matter of rescaling the font size with a conversion factor.
A common misconception at this point in the workflow is the idea that changing the annotation's reference scale will correct the problem. Although useful in its own right, a reference scale is only a display scale, meaning it is the scale at which the annotation will display at its defined size. In this case, it does not correct the results that were caused by an undefined unit of measure in the input CAD dataset.
The solution to the problem is to scale the values in the FontSize field with the Field Calculator using the correct conversion factor.
Open the attribute table, right-click the FontSize field heading, and open the Field Calculator.
For the sake of this discussion, let's assume the CAD file was created in U.S. Survey feet. In this case, multiply all values by the conversion factor 1200/3937.
One last note: If you've followed these instructions and the annotation is still displaying incorrectly in ArcMap, check the data frame's units setting and verify that it also matches the units that your conversion factor calculated for.
In summary, if you need to import CAD annotation, you should always define a coordinate system before converting the data. The units should match the CAD file's unit of measure. Defining a coordinate system defines a unit of measure that the Import CAD Annotation tool will use to calculate font size. If you don't define a coordinate system, the tool will calculate one unit per meter. If you no longer have access to the CAD file, but you know the unit of measure, you can resize the font by applying a conversion factor to the FontSize field using the Field Calculator.

Importing CAD data in ArcGIS Desktop 10
In ArcGIS Desktop 10 you can now import CAD data directly from ArcMap. Best practice CAD conversion tools can be opened directly from the shortcut menu when you right click a CAD feature layer in the table of contents. These tools open already populated with the selected input feature layer and output to your default geodatabase. Clicking OK runs the tool and adds the output to your map.
- Convert CAD Feature Layer opens the Copy Features tool.
- Convert CAD Feature Dataset opens the CAD To Geodatabase tool.
- Convert to Geodatabase Annotation opens the Import CAD Annotation tool.
CAD To Geodatabase
The shortcut menu includes a new tool for importing CAD datasets. The CAD To Geodatabase tool imports all feature classes contained in the CAD dataset for the selected feature layer and converts it to a geodatabase dataset. Processing includes the dataset's annotation using preset parameters.
Using this tool, you can also add multiple CAD datasets as input including mixed DWG and DGN formats. When you import more than one CAD dataset, the tool merges duplicate feature class types and their attributes, and applies the first coordinate system in the list to the new dataset. This tool replaces the Import From CAD tool.
ArcGIS Desktop 10 simplifies importing CAD data. The new shortcut menu provides easy access to best practice CAD conversion tools without having to know them by name. You simply click on the task you need to perform and the right tool opens ready to run. The new tool CAD to Geodatabase simplifies converting entire CAD datasets by incorporating several best practice tools into one easy tool.

Converting CAD Feature Layers in ArcGIS 10
Microstation and AutoCAD files are a supported GIS formats in ArcGIS and have been for many years. CAD features classes are a valid source of ArcMap layers and are valid as input to most geoprocessing tools, including those that copy features from one feature class to another. These data manipulation tools like COPY FEATURES, APPEND, MERGE and FEATURE CLASS TO FEATURE CLASS all have their own specific subtleties and use cases for moving features from one data set to another. These tools automatically convert data from one data format to another and from one coordinate system to another; Shapefile to file geodatabase to enterprise geodatabase etc. In the case of the read/only CAD feature class this means that you can use these tools with CAD as input to effectively convert CAD data to GIS data. When working with CAD text to create geodatabase annotation the IMPORT CAD ANNOTATION tool is the way to go.
In ArcGIS 9.4 the context menu for a CAD layer in ArcMap guides you directly to the preferred tools to convert the CAD features to other GIS data sets. Right-clicking on a CAD layer in ArcMap presents you with the choices Convert CAD Feature Layer or Convert to Geodatabase Annotation. Other methods for copying and converting data are still available such as using copy-n-paste in an edit session or other tools like COPY FEATURES listed above. In fact these new context menu choices direct you to the existing FEATURE CLASS TO FEATURE CLASS tool or the IMPORT CAD ANNOTATION tool in the as of CAD text. The FEATURE CLASS TO FEATURE CLASS tool is preferred over the similar COPY FEATURES tool in that it includes a query parameter that is useful in filtering the CAD data that you want to convert.
The new CAD TO GEODATABASE tool replaces the obsolete IMPORT FROM CAD tool and combines the functionality of several existing tools to streamline the conversion of one or more CAD files into a geodatabase.
Water Distribution Model for use with ArcGIS for AutoCAD
In the last post I walked you through how ArcView 9.3.1 Export-to-CAD automatically stores feature class information in an AutoCAD DWG file. A natural extension of this functionality is to use it to leverage existing ESRI data models to create template AutoCAD drawings.
A sample DWG template of the Water Utility Data Model has been created using Export-to-CAD and posted on the Water Utilities Template Gallery. To go to the Template Gallery click here.
Storing GIS information in AutoCAD drawings
If you've ever tried to use AutoCAD xdata to store feature attributes in a DWG file you might be interested to know about the enhancements made to the Export-to-CAD tool in 9.3. In ArcGIS 9.3 storing GIS information in an AutoCAD drawing and the ability to read this data in ArcGIS Desktop is now automated.
For each feature class used as input, the Export-to-CAD tool will automatically:
- Embed the feature class definition as a non-graphic entry in the DWG file.
- Create a layer with a name that matches the feature class name.
- Write the features to the matching CAD layer name.
- Attach the corresponding ArcGIS feature attributes to each CAD entity.
- And embed the coordinate system information as a non-graphic entry in the DWG file.
Both ArcGIS 9.3 and ArcGIS for AutoCAD Build 200 read and write this data out of the box. This makes round-trip data exchanges between ArcGIS Desktop and AutoCAD a straightforward and uncomplicated task.
Behind the scenes
Behind the scenes the information is stored as AutoCAD xrecords and organized into a framework of AutoCAD object dictionaries that is defined by the ESRI "Mapping Specification for CAD". As a result, there is no longer a need to burden workflows with complex xdata tasks. This new format stores ArcGIS information in the drawing's Named Object Dictionary similar to other native AutoCAD data tools such as Plot Styles or Groups. This means your GIS data will not interfere with standard AutoCAD entities or commands yet remain accessible to ArcGIS or ArcGIS for AutoCAD.
Using the Export-to-CAD Tool
If you have an ArcView license or higher, the Export-to-CAD tool can be found in the ArcToolbox under Conversion Tools > To CAD > Export to CAD
Figure 1:
A simple use of the tool requires four steps (Figure 2). For simplicity this example does not use a seed file:
- Enter or drag-and-drop the input features into the dialog.
- Select the DWG output format.
- Verify or enter the output filename.
- Run the tool.
Figure 2:
The results
Viewing the results in the Catalog tree, the CAD dataset now includes an additional type of CAD feature class (Figure 3). In addition to the usual suspects, the dataset also contains uniquely named feature classes that correspond to the feature classes from the source geodatabase. For example Parcels.
Figure 3:
The contents of these feature classes are derived from their default parent CAD feature classes, Point, Line, Polygon, etc. This means, as in previous releases of ArcGIS, the default feature classes continue to maintain all CAD entities organized by type but these new feature classes only contain the CAD entities that belong to a particular feature class. In ArcMap this gives you the option of working with all or subsets of CAD data. For common workflows this can save you time from having to build specialized query definitions to accomplish the same result.
Attribute values
Another important distinction between the two types of CAD feature classes is feature attributes. As in previous releases of ArcGIS, the default CAD feature classes continue to be absent of attribute data. However, these new feature classes contain the attribute data that was present in the feature attributes table at the time the data was exported.
If you add this CAD data in ArcMap and use the Identify tool and scroll to the bottom of the field list, notice the feature attributes that come across from the feature classes in the sample geodatabase Montgomery.gdb (Figure 4). In this example the feature belongs to the Parcels feature class. In addition to the CAD property fields, the feature attribute field PARCEL_ID has a value of 9956.
Figure 4:
Beginning with ArcGIS 9.3, the Export-To-CAD tool now offers an alternative to using xdata or block inserts for storing GIS information. The benefit of this data persisting in an AutoCAD drawing is the ability to streamline workflows that routinely move data between AutoCAD and ArcGIS. Using ArcGIS for AutoCAD you can take this information and work with it, edit it, and add to it in a GIS context that mirrors your organization's GIS data standards. This data can then be used as input to ArcGIS geoprocessing tools to update specific feature classes in your geodatabase – including attribute data.

Jason thought his inheritance was going to be the gift of money and lots of it. Was he ever in for a big surprise. Based on the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?" Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his Grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulation of which would change him forever.

NFL Hall adds 7; Steelers' Bettis left out
NEW YORK -- Ray Guy became the first punter elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday.
Joining the long-time Oakland Raider were two first-time eligible players, linebacker Derrick Brooks and offensive tackle Walter Jones.
"Good things are worth waiting for," Guy said Saturday night after being elected along with six other players. "It's just a matter of time when it will show up. And I knew it would, sooner or later. It had to, whether it was me or somebody down the road. But sooner or later, it had to show up, because that is a part of a football game."
The Class of 2014 also included defensive end Michael Strahan, receiver Andre Reed, defensive back Aeneas Williams and defensive end Claude Humphrey, who like Guy was a senior selection.
"It's hard to find guys with everything, but this guy had everything -- size, speed, power, toughness, endurance, motor, smarts, leadership, heart, love for the game, but what I admired most about Michael was his pride," Giants general Jerry Reese said. "No matter what the circumstances were, when he walked out on that field on Sunday, he was going to give it all to you. There aren't many guys who can say that."
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis was a finalist but did not get elected.
The announcement was made Saturday night at NFL Honors, less than 24 hours before the Denver Broncos meet the Seattle Seahawks in the first Super Bowl in a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city.
Among the other finalists who didn't get in were two with ties to the Indianapolis Colts and current Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning -- coach Tony Dungy and receiver Marvin Harrison.
Each of the incoming Hall of Famers walked to the stage and was announced individually.
Strahan, who helped the Giants make two Super Bowls, got a huge cheer from the home crowd. Induction will be Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio.
Guy turned the punting job into a defensive weapon after he became the first player at his position to be selected in the first round of the draft in 1973. He made "hang time" part of the football vernacular while playing all of his 207 games in 14 seasons with the Raiders.
The Southern Mississippi product averaged 42.4 yards, falling under the 40-yard bar only during the strike-shortened 1982 season. Only three of his 1,049 punts were blocked, and he set an NFL record with 619 in a row without a block. He had 209 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, including 77 in his final three seasons.
Brooks was the cornerstone of a Bucs defense that led the league in 2002 and '05, and the NFC five times.
Reed came out of Kutztown University and played his first 15 seasons with Buffalo, getting to four Super Bowls, but never winning one. His 951 career receptions are third in league history, highlighted by nine consecutive seasons of 50-plus catches.

Johnny Depp, Frank Langella, Lena Olin, Emmanuelle Seigner
There's something fundamentally squirrely about Johnny Depp, even in his good-guy roles. That sense that he may go seriously off at any moment is used to great advantage in The Ninth Gate, a supernatural thriller that starts off decently but winds up spectacularly silly. Depp plays a rare-books dealer of dubious ethics. He is hired by a sinister publishing mogul (Langella) who wants him to compare and contrast the three remaining copies of a rare 17th-century tome that supposedly contains the secret to conjuring up the Devil. The deeper Depp digs into the pages, the more obvious it becomes that there are indeed Faustian forces at work, forces Depp finds hard to resist.
Gate is cowritten and directed by Roman Polanski, who made Rosemary's Baby (1968), a scarier, more compelling film about learning to love Lucifer. Gate may be minor by comparison, but it still manages to allow Polanski welcome opportunities to indulge his penchant for ghoulish humor, including a scene in which Olin, as a murderous widow, orders a henchman to move a captive Depp and his pal from her bedroom to a basement. "Don't kill them up here," she says, "you'll make a mess." (R)
Bottom Line: The devil may care, but viewers won't

Losing it =/
Please be warned, emo rant coming up.
So I havn't really been feeling the stoke for winter at all lately. The snowboard sits next to the rather large collection of longboards, yet I have no desires to strap on my boots and bounce around the house like an idiot. I got into racing my longboard this year, and am finding that way funner than riding. I love the people I hang out with, meet so many amazing racers who are willing to help you, and so on and so forth. I dunno, help?
i go through that with everything i do, especially playing guitar
but theres always something that puts me back in the mood hardcore and ill rock five hours a day for weeks at a time
im bettin that once you see frost on the ground or a few flakes fallin, youll be all about it
i got this with ice hockey, it started to become like a job, so i quit for a year and now i really really really want to play. Im not saying quit but maybe you shouldn't jump back on the plank for a wee bit longer and see if it comes back
it is almost as if you could condemn yourself as being one of those non-committal type people, who just go thru phases and fads.....
i know what you mean. since i started playing hockey again last winter, my thoughts of sideways slide became less. my dreams were full of ice rink shinanigans, not mountainous ones. hell the other passion in my life, scuba diving, is more like a once every two or three year thing now... rather than a must do annual event.
however, the simple fact that you are worried that you sense no passion, is evidence that the passion remains inside you. afterall, if you didn't care, you would pay no mind to it.
be reassurred that your love for the sideways slide is as strong as it ever was, due to the very existence of this thread!
if you have found something to occupy yourself with in the off season... then good for you! it is better than going into stasis!
at the very worst, in this cliquey, image is everything world of 'extreme sports gnar', you might have to consider yourself a long boarder who snowboards.... or vice versa come winter.... but really who fucking cares?
when it snows, go ride. you will know it is still important to you.:thumbsup:
find the fun again...werent you instructing last year? that could make it seem like more of a job than fun.
all those years ago when i got my CASI card (and before i found out the pitance most instructors earned) i was all about moving to a canuck mountain to teach what i love.
well hopefully, now that 3 years have passed, perhaps i am closer to this ambition than ever.... but do i really want to call the thing i love, a 'job'?
will i end up resenting that which i once did when i wanted, but will have to do as an obligation?
but then find a job you love and never work a day of your life again..... tis a tuffy!
This happened to me with rock climbing, between guiding and setting up comps it became a real drag. I find its good to have a few sports because then you can switch over to give yourself a break and usually the motivation comes back...or you just end up liking the new sport more, c'est la vie!
I say be happy that you have a couple of sports you're passionate about, some people never find one they click with.

Sigourney Weaver will provide Taylor Lautner therapy in 'Abducted'
It isn't easy when you discover that the people you think are your parents might have kidnapped you from your true biological family when you were kid. In fact, it always helps to have a good psychiatrist to talk to during those troubled times. Luckily for Taylor Lautner, Sigourney Weaver is taking appointments in his new thriller "Abducted."
The John Singleton directed flick finds Lautner on the run after discovering his own baby picture on a missing persons' site. Variety reports Weaver will play his psychiatrist, but it's unclear whether she's in on the deception or not. The cast also includes Lily Collins and Alfred Molina.
The film will be Lautner's next before segueing into the final chapter of "Twilight, "Breaking Dawn." The latest installment, "Eclipse," hits theaters on June 30.
Weaver, who reunited with Jim Cameron in the cultural phenomenon "Avatar,"is returning to comedy opposite Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis in "You Again" this October. She also has wrapped the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost road trip comedy "Paul."
Production on "Abduction" will begin next month in incentive friendly Pittsburgh.
