Review this title!
Nothing different than what our children are being "educated" with... thumbs down review!!!
This show provides young adults and teenagers with the typical worldly mindset that sex, drugs, temptation and self disrespect is what is required to fit in... it's nothing different than what these already struggling individuals have to deal with on a daily basis - in both the REAL world around them, as well as their elderly masturbating "I wish I could do 'her and him' parent figure! This has nothing productive, promotional, nor helpful content.... which is a shame... we want the best for our children, but the media and "society" caters to failure.... at some point, you have to change what we're giving our children.... especially if we don't like what we're getting out/from them!

Waste of time!
Families should know that this show sucks. It's a waste of 30 minutes that you can never get back. I don't know who I want to choke first, the stupid crew or the snotty entitled people that charter this boat.

Interesting yet Raunchy
I watched an episode of this and I can say it has great potential, but when you have a young, coitus-wanting crew that uses foul language, you feel like your watching a mashup of million dollar yachts and your typical foul bravo "reality" show. Maybe if you can get a decent crew that doesn't get drunk every episode I would watch this. Also, The show does not focus on the customers of the boat at all. They are barely on screen and the only time you here the crew talking about them is when they're gossiping about how annoying they are. Overall, the only reason I give Below Deck more than one star is because I like the rare shots you get of the yacht without the crew's constant, sex filled, babbling

Upon his untimely death two years later, her twice-widowed mother took Frances Wheeler and her older half-brother back to Vermont, where she settled them at The Oxbow, a farm she had inherited. For the next sixteen years Frances lived intermittently in Vermont, Boston, and in various locations throughout Europe, receiving her education at home and in several private schools.

About Mazda
Life began in 1920 as a machine tool maker called Toyo Cork Kogyo Co, and 11 years later the first Mazda vehicle – the Mazda-go three-wheeler truck – arrived. After making rifles during WW2, Mazda produced its first four-wheeled truck (Romper) in 1958 and its first passenger car (RS60 Coupe) in 1960. The early '60s saw Mazda form a partnership with NSU and Felix Wankel to produce and develop the pistonless rotary engine, persevering with the technology after the others abandoned it with great success – thanks to heroic models such as the 1978 RX-7 sports car and the No.55 787B race car that used reliability to trump faster rivals for its 1991 Le Mans win. The RX-8 sold from 2003 to 2013 was the last Mazda to use a rotary, the rev-happy engine's notorious thirst succumbing to increasingly strict emissions regulations. From 1979 to 2010, Ford invested in Mazda to share a number of facilities, platforms and engines. In 2002 Mazda started introducing a raft of new-generation models, including the Mazda 3 hatch that in 2011 would become the first imported model to become Australia's best-selling car.Read more

Girl from iconic Great Depression photo: 'We were ashamed'Breaking News
The photograph became an icon of the Great Depression: a migrant mother with her children burying their faces in her shoulder. Katherine McIntosh was 4 years old when the photo was snapped. She said it brought shame -- and determination -- to her family.
"I wanted to make sure I never lived like that again," says McIntosh, who turns 77 on Saturday."We all worked hard and we all had good jobs and we all stayed with it. When we got a home, we stayed with it."
McIntosh is the girl to the left of her mother when you look at the photograph. The picture is best known as"Migrant Mother," a black-and-white photo taken in February or March 1936 by Dorothea Lange of Florence Owens Thompson, then 32, and her children.

Aiken County is one step closer to breaking ground for its new animal shelter.
The Friends of the Animal Shelter presented a check for $125,000 to Aiken County on Tuesday evening during the regular Council meeting. That donation fulfills the nonprofit's commitment to pay for the design work by architectural firm McMillan Pazdan Smith for a new animal shelter.
The County expects to break ground as early as February.
"(FOTAS) are the most wonderful group of people I have ever worked with," said Councilwoman Kathy Rawls during the meeting. "How did Aiken County get so lucky?"
Friends' President Jennifer Miller said the new shelter has been years in the making. She added that this is the biggest check the organization has ever written, and thanks the community for its support of both FOTAS and the Aiken County Animal Shelter.
"We're an animal friendly community," Miller said. "We want a shelter that can we can all be proud to go to and adopt pets as well as have a facility that can take proper care of its animals."
Miller said the goal of FOTAS is to see that no adoptable pet is euthanized. She feels that the new shelter, along with the spay and neuter program, will help the organization reach that goal.
The rest of the project will be paid by the County through one-cent sales tax funds, totaling approximately $1.5 million.
Council also awarded a bid for $2,224,999 to J.E. Stewart for the construction of the new shelter Tuesday evening.
The gap between the construction bid and what has been budgeted is $700,000.
"We have an existing capital funds account, but it has been pretty well depleted with up-front funding for projects in Capital Projects Sales Tax round 2," said County Administrator Clay Killian.
For instance, the County fronted $1.4 million from the account to pay for the purchase of the building on Beaufort Street that now houses the Aiken County Health Department.
The County already fronted $1 million for the shelter and will pay itself back with funds from the one-cent Capital Projects Sales Tax round 3. A total of $5 million was allocated in round three for the health department, so the savings could be used to cover the $700,000 funding gap for the animal shelter.
It is just a matter of shifting funds, which Council will have to OK.
The new shelter project is an effort to abate overcrowding and give staff more work space. The new building will be 11,000 square feet in comparison to the existing facility's 5,000 square feet.
The new shelter would be constructed on a 4-acre lot located on the corner of Wire Road and May Royal Drive.
It will include three separate wings connected by covered walkways.
The middle wing will house the public lobby, staff cubicles and meeting rooms. A laundry and cleaning room, food storage, medical prep room and surgery room will be located in the back portion of the middle wing.
The left wing will be designated for adoptions and will have its own air and exhaust system to cut down on the spread of airborne diseases. It will include three dog pods with 10 to 12 guillotine kennels, which are equipped with a door that can be lifted and lowered giving a canine access to the covered, open-air half of the kennel.
Bonding rooms will also be in the left wing for potential adopters to interact with the animal they're considering to take home.
The right wing will be designated for intake of surrendered animals and captured strays.

Beverly San Filippo may live alone, but she hardly ever cooks for one.
The Amherst grandmother, retired now after a 23-year career with Kaleida Health, grew up on Buffalo's West Side and in North Buffalo, learning recipes like tomato sauce and stuffed meatballs from her Italian mother.
San Filippo, The News June Cook of the Month – a few days late – still makes those dishes today, adding her own touches, like the brightness of fresh mint in the tomato sauce and smoky bacon inside the meatballs.
Yet some of the most important things her mother taught her about food had nothing to do with recipes.
"When we lived at Prospect and Hudson, I remember a man came by and asked my mother if she had anything to eat," San Filippo said. "My mother would not let him in the house, because we were there. She put him on the porch, right in front of the picture window, she put a tray there, and a seat, and she fed him. This guy had a whole, full meal."
Her mother, Rosemarie San Filippo, taught her by word and deed that cooking and sharing food was an act of love, she said. That's why "when I cook, I always have other people in mind," she said. "I don't cook one hamburger patty, and that's my dinner."
San Filippo spends time with her father, Anthony, almost every day at his retirement home, she said. (His recipe for pasta and peas, among the most homey Italian-American dishes of all time, won a local paper's recipe contest, she said.) She also keeps in touch with other relatives and friends, often delivering a gift of a home-cooked meal.
"If I make, say, an omelet, a frittata, I'll make the ingredients – whether it's peppers, onions, hot dogs, potatoes – and I'll make a whole pan full. I put it in the fridge, and if somebody's coming over I can give it to them."
That doesn't mean she's foisting off aging leftovers on people, though.
"I don't have stuff lying around like, 'Gee I wish somebody would eat this,' " said San Filippo. "Never. It's always gone. And I don't like leaving stuff in the fridge. Two days, goodbye."
It does seem odd to others that at a time in her life when many people her age are just plain tired of cooking, San Filippo is still breaking out the big pots.
"People are always telling me that," she said. " 'Why are you making that whole thing?' Well, I've got stuff, and I've got people. There are too many people in this world that have needs. I cannot just do for myself. It is not my way of living."
In addition to her career as transcriptionist and receptionist at facilities including Women & Children's Hospital, the former Millard Fillmore Hospital on Gates Circle and Buffalo General Hospital, San Filippo worked as a server at a New Jersey country club and the Park Lane. She picked up recipes that she would later put to good effect, like a sauerkraut with bacon, apples and garlic. When she wanted to cook for a German minister with a mission at Genesee and Moselle, that sauerkraut hit the spot for him.
"I believe that in this life you are given a lot of gifts," she said. "And when you have a lot, a lot is required of you. That's how I believe, and I want to do what's required of me. Because the Bible says that if you give somebody a glass of water in my name, it's a blessing."
Why should long-simmered tomato sauce be any different? Who would go through the trouble of making long-cooked Sunday sauce for one person? Not Beverly San Filippo, when there are so many mouths to feed.
"When I make sauce, put the tomatoes, do the garlic, when I do that I think of all the things I could do with that sauce," she said. "I could make stuffed meatballs. You know what else I could do? I could do a braciole, I haven't done that in ages. You know what else I could do? I could make meaty ziti. Because I could bring a casserole to somebody."
Stuffed Meatballs
3 pounds meatball mixture
(see recipe below)
2 slices cooked bacon, halved
1 hard-cooked egg, quartered
1 small ball fresh mozzarella, quartered
3 to 4 tablespoons olive or corn oil
1 to 2 quarts spaghetti sauce
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano, for serving
Make meatball mixture. Separate into three parts. Set aside one part (one pound) for regular meatballs.
Divide each remaining part into two. Form each 8-ounce portion of meatball mixture into large hamburger-shaped patties, about 6 inches across.
Top each patty with bacon, egg and cheese. Wet hands and mold meat over fillings to form 4 large stuffed meatballs.
Add 3 tablespoons oil to nonstick skillet and brown meatballs over medium heat, using two utensils to turn them until evenly browned. Do not crowd pan; fry in batches if necessary.
After browning on all sides, carefully transfer to pot. Cover with spaghetti sauce and simmer over medium-low heat for one hour. Serve one stuffed meatball per person, in a pasta bowl over one ladle of penne pasta. Top pasta with grated cheese.
(Makes 4 stuffed meatballs plus 8 smaller regular meatballs so you have plenty of leftovers. If your pot is big enough, the regular meatballs can be cooked in the same sauce.)
Meatball Mixture
3 pounds ground meat, either "meatloaf mix" from butcher's case, or 1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef (80-20 mixture), ¾ pound ground chicken and ¾ pound ground pork
3 thick slices Italian bread, crusts removed, soaked in milk and lightly squeezed out
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs lightly scrambled
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Mix ingredients in a large bowl with your hands.
Cauliflower Pie
1/2 cup Vidalia onion, chopped small
½ cup olive oil
1 small head cauliflower cut into florets
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup Romano cheese
4 large eggs, slightly scrambled
Blanch cauliflower in boiling water until tender; drain. Mix crumbs and cheese in a small bowl.
Add 4 tablespoons oil and onion to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and saute for a few minutes. Add cooked, drained florets, garlic and breadcrumb mixture and stir, cooking until it starts to brown.
Add egg mixture to cauliflower, and stir for a few minutes. Lightly mash mixture in the frying pan using a potato masher, lowering heat to avoid scorching the pie.
Slide pie onto empty plate or pie dish. Add 4 tablespoons oil to fry pan, and flip pie into pan, uncooked side down. (You can use a kitchen mitt to protect your wrist from any hot oil; I do this over the kitchen sink.)
Cook until firm. Cut "pie" into slices, and serve immediately.
Serve as a main course with bread and a salad, or use as a side dish.

Hi Folks, I'm touring in Europe until July 20th. If you purchase something in my shop here, I won't be able to ship until then, However, some flutes can ship from my eBay store via my assistant when sold. See here for huge savings in my Summer Sale on some restored TENSEI Line flutes along with my own hand crafted shakuhachi: http://stores.ebay.com/zenshakuhachibambooflutes/
Have a great summer! - Perry
[ Read full blog entry ]
Hi, I'm Perry Yung. Welcome! I first discovered the shakuhachi flute while performing in New York City as an actor in Ellen Stewart's Oedipus the King. Night after night, the subtle sound grew to become all encompassing. Soon, I started making the flute as it was impossible to buy a shakuhachi in the pre-internet days of 1994. Time passed and eight years later got a grant to live in Japan to study traditionally with some of the best makers and players in the world. The shakuhachi changed my life in ways that words can not describe. My goal is to help you with a flute that can open that door as it is a beautiful world on the other side. Come on in!
Those interested in my acting work (TV, film and stage) can see what I'm up to at my actors blog. - https://perryyung.wordpress.com/

A death and two plane crashes should spur the Bureau of Land Management to finally pull the plug on the annual Burning Man festival on the Black Rock Desert north of Reno.
This year's event was described as "otherwise peaceful," which will be small consolation to the familes of a woman who died when her "art car" accidentally ran over her, and to five people who were seriously injured when their planes crashed on the makeshift landing strip in the middle of the desert.
A record 30,500 people showed up for this year's version of Soddom and Gomorrah on public property.
It has been obvious for a half-dozen years now that the event has outgrown the ability of its organizers to properly oversee it. If someone wants to host future Burning Man rituals on their own private property, let them take the risk.
The U.S. government -- the taxpayers -- shouldn't be playing host to an event that has become known as much for its drug use and sexual laissez faire as it has for its creative and artistic freedom.
We don't mean to sound like prudes, but acts that would bring arrests at, say, Hot August Nights or the Best of the West Rib Cookoff are greeted with little more than a grin and a wink at Burning Man.
For an event that prides itself on freedom, the hypocrisies at Burning Man tend to pile up. For one thing, they charge from $225 to $300 for each person to attend.
Organizers stress that Burning Man is a "private event," and though they brag their homemade Black Rock City is a First Amendment ideal, it's exactly the opposite. Anyone who wants to take a picture at Burning Man must register their camera and get permission to show it to anyone other than family and friends.
If the BLM insists on permitting future Burning Man festivals, there's one thing Nevada can do: Make sure those tickets are included under the new entertainment tax.
By our calculations, Burning Man organizers are raking in more than $6 million in admission fees. That calculates to a cool $300,000 for Nevada's tax coffers.

CHICAGO - For decades gay and lesbian rights activists here and throughout Illinois fought to end discrimination against people in housing and employment based on their sexual orientation. Today, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights leaders and supporters say the fight for passing a civil unions bill is gaining steam in the state legislature.
Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, recently said he believes civil unions could be legalized in Illinois before the end of the year. A bill authorizing civil unions exited an Illinois House committee, but hasn't been called for a full vote yet. However Quinn, a strong advocate of civil unions, believes the measure has enough votes to pass during the legislature's fall session.
Rick Garcia, founder and political director of Equality Illinois says Quinn's recent remarks and the fight for equal marriage rights are a long time coming. "We're very thrilled by Quinn's leadership and commitment to ensure that all Illinoisans are fully recognized and protected when it comes to equal marriage rights," he said.
Garcia, a native of St. Louis, moved to Chicago in 1986 to work on Harold Washington's re-election mayoral campaign. Washington became the city's first African American mayor when he won that seat in 1983. He is widely respected as one of Chicago's most progressive and independent leaders. In 1987 Washington unexpectedly died while in office.
Equality Illinois' mission is to secure, protect and defend the civil rights of LGBT people throughout the state, says Garcia. He notes a bill that would have granted full equal marriage rights for same-sex couples failed to pass a House committee in 2007. Since then activists have talked to state lawmakers who said their constituents won't let them vote for a full equal marriage bill but would support a civil union one.
"In 2007 we recognized that there were couples and families in the state that need immediate protections now," said Garcia. He added that the current civil unions bill is close to having the 60 votes in the House and the necessary 30 in the Senate to pass.
"We realize today that real people have real needs and if we could pass a bill that grants civil unions for same-sex couples, then we should fight for it," added Garcia.
Garcia notes the fight for equal marriage takes stages and passing civil unions is part of it, despite critics that argue it's not enough and is only a second-class marriage.
"We believe a civil unions bill is not settling for second best. It's actually an important stepping stone toward a firm foundation for equal marriage in the future," said Garcia.
Civil unions are agreements that give gay and lesbian partners legal rights and responsibilities when it comes to issues such as property ownership, adoption and emergency health care decisions.
Garcia notes it took 30 years before the Ill. state assembly finally passed a bill in 2005 aimed at ending discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation when it comes to housing and employment rights.
Meanwhile Quinn faces the GOP's state Sen. Bill Brady in the tough gubernatorial race. "We're in the fight of our lives," Quinn recently said, adding it's critical to defeat Brady and the GOP's right-wing agenda in Congress and the state.
Illinois faces two crises: economic and political. The state has a huge budget deficit and Democrats are on the defensive since the impeachment of former-Governor Rod Blagojevich for corruption charges. Quinn, who was lieutenant governor and took over after the impeachment, favors raising revenue through progressive tax measures and job creation rather than severe budget cuts that would fall hard on the most vulnerable.
Brady opposes legal standing for same-sex couples, regardless of what it's called. He supported a proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution that defines marriage as between a man and woman and banned same-sex unions. The amendment never made it beyond a subcommittee.
Brady continues to bash gay people and uses fear mongering and hate, says Garcia. "He is hard right-wing and his positions are not only bad for the gay community but for all Illinoisans when it comes to fairness and decency," he said.
"Gay, Latino and really all voters need to get motivated and go to the polls on Election Day or we will suffer for the next four years. If our communities don't come out to vote we are going to be saddled with a Republican governor who will fight to undo the few gains we have made over the years," says Garcia. "We must go to the polls and vote."

We should ask them to come to one of conferences and let us play with this. Imagine what classrooms could so with this technology!
MAPPS Privacy Guidelines Endorsement
The National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) Board of Directors unanimously endorsed recent guidelines produced by the Management Association for Private Photogrammetric Surveyors (MAPPS). The guidelines outline best practices for citizen privacy and geospatial data. The MAPPS guidelines, adopted by their organization in July, are designed to provide a self-regulatory framework for its collection of private firms engaged in geospatial technologies and data. They are intended to provide guidance on when companies should seek individual consent for gathering geospatial data and when such data are not breaching privacy concerns and will serve public good. It addresses such issues as geospatial data derived from aerial imagery and drawing the line at not collecting real-time, personally identifiable data.
The NSGIC endorsed the common-sense guidelines during their August Board meeting. NSGIC President Shelby Johnson is quoted as saying, "I'm very proud that our board acted in unison on this endorsement. We totally agree with MAPPS on this issue, and it's very important for the industry as a whole and those of us in government to be on the same page." This builds on NSGIC's existing policy about what data should be considered private and what isn't. State Geographic Information System (GIS) coordinating councils have recognized the complexity of the issue surrounding privacy for citizens. At the same time, enormous societal benefits can be gained by leveraging GIS technologies and data. The MAPPS guidelines are straightforward and should be applied equally across the private and public sectors.
LSU Report on Resiliency a Decade after Katrina
This white paper reports on the emergency and disaster management community response and recovery lessons learned in the years since Hurricane Katrina. Overall this is a good report and an interesting read, but unfortunately the role that geospatial data and technology played in this process is lost in this report. The value of maps and mapping is clearly indicated, but the reports misuses the acronym GPS, and also incorrectly defines GIS as Global Information Systems when discussing mapping, so that the underlying geospatial technology being used is not clear.
There are a number of really good practical recommendations in this report. Natural disasters like hurricane Katrina will happen again, but from the lessons learned the goal is to make sure that an inadequate response does not. The top four takeaways from the report are all about resilience, and include a call to embrace preparedness, create resilient communities, implement lessons learned, and dedicate funding to create resilient systems and communities that will endure disaster more effectively, facilitating a more rapid and complete response and recovery.

2015 – 17 NSGIC Strategic Goals Approved
On Monday this week the NSGIC Board of Directors approved the 2015 -17 Strategic Goals. The development of the strategic goals is the result of many hours of discussion and interaction by leadership. It all began in February with a member survey and a planning retreat as part of the mid-year meeting in Annapolis. I can say these goals truly reflect the pulse of the membership and I thank all who participated and provided feedback to the survey.
There are a few items to point out about the strategic goals. You will notice that the core vision and mission of NSGIC has not changed. The Geospatial Maturity Assessment, the GIS Inventory and advocating for the National Geospatial Data Act remain atop of the list of our priorities. You will also notice that the document has been streamlined considerably to four pages. As a result, the document itself should be easier to read and understand.
The last item I will point out is the focus on building more support for member participation. Leadership heard "loud and clear" the need to grow our member base and provide increased opportunities for current members to participate, so that is what we've done. Goal 3 is heavily focused on improving member growth and participation.

Glossary of NSGIC Acronyms
When it comes to the use and abuse of acronyms, NSGIC takes a backseat to no one. Recognizing that not everybody, particularly new members and new attendees to our conferences, will understand all of the acronyms flying around, the Membership Services Committee has created a glossary for members and conference attendees to use. Simply go to the website and use a find command to learn what that acronym meant. The glossary will be updated as needed, particularly prior to the two annual conferences.

Final Report from the National Address Database Summit is Available
If you have been to any NSGIC meeting, or have read the April 13th post on the National Address Database Summit meeting in Linthicum, Maryland, you will know that realizing the development of a publicly accessible National Address Point Database (NAPD) with X and Y coordinates, is a very high priority for the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) and many others. Nearly all government service delivery requires a NAPD, and creating one will significantly reduce government duplication of effort and waste.
The final report from the National Address Database Summit meeting is now available at this link. You can also find more information on the Summit Meeting, including the presentations, at this link. NSGIC appreciates the efforts of the U.S. Department of Transportation to host this meeting and work on this important initiative.
NHAP partnership videos on new NSGIC YouTube Channel
Jim Lacy (Wisconsin) has posted a couple of videos to YouTube concerning the National High Altitude Photography Program (NHAP) partnership program. These videos, shown at a recent National Digital Orthoimagery Program (NDOP) meeting, help the viewer to understand the importance of coordination and partnerships to develop consistent, reliable and standardized imagery across the conterminous United States for the benefit of all common uses, needs and data collection.
Thanks to Mike Vanhook, NSGIC Membership Services co-chair for setting up a NSGIC YouTube channel, one more effort to provide everyone with a richer membership experience.

NSGIC Attends First-Ever White House Mapathon
On Thursday May 21st, 2015 I attended the first-ever "Mapathon" event hosted by the White House (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHQh68bXDqg ). Not only was it a tremendous honor to represent NSGIC, it was a personal experience I will not soon forget. The event took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House grounds. In attendance were a variety of federal agencies, non-profit groups, some international representatives and a very small number of for-profit companies.
The goal of the event was to "…celebrate and actively participate in Open Mapping." Open mapping is sometimes referred to as crowd mapping or crowdsourced mapping. The White House invite I received stated, "…geospatial data has been a key component of the Administration's Open Data initiatives" and promoted the Map Give project (http://mapgive.state.gov/why-map/ ) as a starting point for presentations and discussion. There has been tremendous success in open mapping efforts during and after disasters, which is one reason the White House is keen on promoting it. Examples of successful crowd mapping are the Haiti earthquake in 2010, Ebola outbreaks in West Africa, Philippines, and Nepal disasters.
The White House held the event to raise awareness of open mapping in the United States, and to grow the number of volunteer mappers. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in one of three mapping activities. Mapgive, Power Service Area Mapping (a program under development by the Dept. of Energy), and Every Kid in a Park (an initiative that will improve facility information on public lands that have educational activities for kids) were three project areas in which attendees could participate.
I commend the White House for bringing attention to open mapping and the benefits that collaborative crowd mapping provides. Having a spotlight on the subject certainly raises the conversation significantly. Open mapping has many positives and why it is attracting a lot of attention, but it does have some drawbacks. For example, it would be difficult to crowd map cadastral (property ownership) or elevation data.
Increasingly, GIS coordinators and professionals are facing real questions about the benefit and limitations of open mapping. NSGIC must understand these issues and how authoritative government datasets (e.g. address points, cadastral) can co-exist with open mapping initiatives. This fall during our annual conference in Kansas City (http://www.nsgic.org/2015-nsgic-annual-conference ) I expect some significant discussions to take place on open mapping. I'm inviting you all to attend and engage in that discussion.

PEW Open Data study
The PEW Center for Research published an excellent study last month that analyzed public attitudes around Open Data. It's an excellent report and you can glean the highlights from the Executive Summary at the beginning.
If you believe, as I do, that Open Data is a very important movement for us to align with and pay attention to as Geospatial Professionals, it will be clear from this report that there is a pretty considerable gap that needs to be closed. Awareness of open data and its benefits is low.

My breastfed baby was sleeping about 11 hours a night.
Recently, I went back to work and we started supplementing with formula. She wouldn't take straight formula so we are doing 50/50 mixing the breastmilk and the formula.
Now she's waking up every 4 hours at night!!!!!
Should we try a different type of formula for night? Is the gentle not "thick" enough for her? It is great during the day. She hasn't seemed to have any reactions or anything bad otherwise..
Ugh! What to do?
I am a first time mom, and this is the first time I'm starting formula (just started this week) so this is all new to me.
HELP ladies!!
