Humanitarian group predicts war crimes and worse if robot AIs are trained to target and kill humans
Thus far, no nation has produced a fully autonomous robotic soldier.
I. Human Rights Watch Warns of Robotic War Crimes
However, many observers fear we are creeping towards an era in which automated killing machines are a staple of the battlefield. The U.S. and other nations have been actively been developing
, and
unmanned vehicles. Most of these machines are imbued with some degree of artificial intelligence and operate in a semi-autonomous fashion. However, they currently have a human operator in the loop, (mostly) in control.
But experts fear that within 20 to 30 years artificial intelligence and
military automation
will have advanced to the point where nations consider deploying fully automated war robots to kill their enemies.
International humanitarian group and war-crimes watchdog
Human Rights Watch
has published a 50-page report entitled "
Losing Humanity: The Case Against Killer Robots
", which calls on world governments to install a global ban on autonomous killing robots, similar to current prohibitions on the use of chemical warfare agents.
Current generation war robots, like the MAARS robot, have a human operator in the loop.

Steve Goose
, Arms Division director at Human Rights Watch, "Giving machines the power to decide who lives and dies on the battlefield would take technology too far. Human control of robotic warfare is essential to minimizing civilian deaths and injuries. It is essential to stop the development of killer robots before they show up in national arsenal. As countries become more invested in this technology, it will become harder to persuade them to give it up."
II. Ban the 'Bots
The proposal, co-endorsed by the
Law School
International Human Rights Clinic
, also calls on a prohibition on development, production, and testing of fully autonomous war robots.
The groups address the counter-argument -- that
robotic warfare saves the lives of soldiers
-- arguing that it makes war too convenient. They argue that an "autocrat" could turn
cold, compassionless robots
on killing their own civilian population. It would be much harder to convince humans to do that.
Countries could also claim their cyber-soldiers "malfunctioned" to try to get themselves off the hook for war crimes against other nations' civilians.
And of course science fiction fans will recognize the final concern -- that their could be
legitimate bugs
in the AI which cause the robots to either not properly calculate a proportional response to violence, to not distinguish between civilian or soldier, or --
worst of all "go Terminator"
and turn on their fleshy masters.
Comments Mr. Goose, "Action is needed now, before killer robots cross the line from science fiction to feasibility."

Is there a such thing as working out too much while BFing? I participate in a postpartum physical fitness program in the Army. We work out 3 to 4 days of the week. In addition, I do about 1 hr of cardio 3 to 4 times a week on my own time.
I was told that I need some fat to help with my milk production (sounds silly to me).
My question: Could working out too much or losing weight too fast effect my milk supply?

Tree walks planned for Grey Towers
August 30, 2012 —
MILFORD, PA — Guided walks and talks about the trees on the grounds of Grey Towers National Historic Site, 122 Old Owego Turnpike, are planned for Saturday, September 15 at 11:30 a.m. and at 1:30 p.m.
U.S. Forest Service staff will lead participants throughout the estate on a 90-minute walk to identify and provide some history about many of the native and unique trees planted at the estate in the early 1900s. The Pinchot family planted more than 100 trees on the grounds after it was clear-cut around the turn of the century. Today, the estate is a living example of conservation and resource management.
Each walk is limited to 20 participants and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is encouraged. Regular tour fees ($6 adults; $5 seniors; $3 youth; under 12 free) apply for this guided walk and participants have the option of touring the mansion for half-price before or after the walk. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 570/296-9630.

Most homes waste huge amounts of energy, through air leaks, poor insulation, inefficient HVAC systems, and more. This is true of most new homes and virtually all old homes.
The result is utility bills which are higher than they should be, uncomfortable homes, and countless amounts of carbon emmisions, leading to new coal plants being built and more mountain tops razed to fuel those plants.
Fortunately, most of these problems are simple and cheap to fix. Spending a little money on weatherizing your home is guaranteed to save energy and money in the long run, and it's one of the best things you can do for the environment.

March 5, 2014 —
HONESDALE, PA — During the night of a cold January 29, some 53 local volunteers scoured areas throughout Wayne County looking for homeless people sheltering in cars, barns or other unmanaged places of last resort.
Cynthia Matthews of the Wayne County Quality Council Local Housing Options Team (L-HOT) said the bi-annual Point-in-Time count was done on behalf of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which funds the council's efforts to assist residents, identify needs, expand housing options and seek long-term solutions to homelessness.
This was the second year for the survey, done in July and January, which also provides information to school districts and hospitals, which in turn are required to monitor homelessness among those receiving services. HUD has a priority in finding people suffering from diabetes and kidney conditions, Matthews said.
Matthews said they were happy to find and contact only 10 persons, seven of whom they were able to assist to shelter. Only three of the number refused assistance and qualified as homeless by federal standards.
Commissioners Chair Brian Smith was surprised that no one wanted to be "scooped up" and taken somewhere warm.
"You can't just scoop people up," said Commissioner Wendell Kay, who volunteered in the count.
Matthews said the homeless they found are employed people, who are "just not able to afford a home." They have stayed with friends and relatives and run out of options.
Kay felt a July search would likely find more people out of doors.
Smith said he was surprised "we don't have people freezing all over," with current crazy prices for fuels. "It's really bad," he said.
Matthews said advance publicity for the upcoming search prompted numerous phone calls from residents, concerned about people whom they felt were in need.
She said the council received many donations beforehand, and all those contacted by volunteers were given "care packages" including hats, gloves, blankets and hand warmers. Another dozen volunteers cooked and baked to fortify the volunteers before they went out.
Kay said the temperature was "six or seven degrees" when the nighttime search began. His group checked county-owned properties including an old group home and a ball field in Damascus and Berlin townships. He said recent snow was helpful in "looking for footprints" in unlikely places.
The Browndale Fire Department provided nine people to help other volunteers searching in "very rural" parts of the county where cell-phone service is not available.
Other county employees, as volunteers, came from the commissioners' office; court administration; department of children and youth; behavioral and developmental programs and early intervention; fiscal maintenance and the 911 center also took part.
Commissioner Jonathan Fritz said the volunteer effort shown in the count "showed the compassion and good intent in the heart of Wayne County."

- Gripless nanotension test for determination of nano-scale properties
- Author(s)
- Yang, Dong-Yol; Lim, Tae Woo; Son, Yong; Barlat, Frederic; Yoon, Jeong Whan
- Abstract
- This paper proposes a novel material testing method, gripless nanotension technique (GNT), to assess the basic mechanical properties of nano-scale structures in top-down processes. The GNT exhibits prominent advantages over conventional methods, i.e., use of a nanoindenter as a reliable and simple testing device, high-quality nano-scale metallic specimen with negligible residual stress, and tensile testing possible in the through-thickness direction. Using the proposed method, nano-scale polycrystalline specimens obtained from a nickel film were tested. Through the experiment, well-defined values of material properties with extraordinary phenomenal findings, i.e., strikingly reduced elastic modulus, yield strength and tensile strength of much higher values could be reliably observed and determined at the nano-scale.

The innovative venture taps the methane emanating from an old county landfill to power artist kilns and forges for blacksmithing, glass blowing and ceramics, along with greenhouses for local growers.
But with financial support from the county at a fraction of what it once was, the Green Energy Park is at a crossroads, said Green Energy Park Director Timm Muth.
Historically, the county funded the park's operations to the tune of $250,000 a year. But, the county decided to decrease the funding, by 20 percent each year. Funding this year is at $135,000.
That's put pressure on Muth to find a way to make the Green Energy Park financially self-supporting. Muth's solution: spend money up front to finish out the park's master plan, in turn creating more studio space, which in turn can be rented out to generate revenue.
"I'm caught in a quandary," said Muth. "On one side, I've got commissioners telling me this place isn't profitable and it's a drain on the county coffers. On the other side, we can't become anywhere near self-supportive because the project isn't completed."
Muth said he needs a cash infusion from the county for an expansion, primarily for ceramics studios, to generate more rent from artists and reduce reliance on county funding.
The additional studio space was part of the park's original master plan but was left incomplete. The $70,000 worth of kilns and crates to outfit the pottery shop was already purchased with a federal grant years ago and is waiting in storage.
Without the build-out, the park will be stuck in a sort of limbo, or may even close if the county decides not to fund it further, said Muth.
The project will cost about $900,000. Muth asked the county for $450,000, with hopes of raising the remaining $450,000 or so in grants and donations. In all, 14 new studio spaces would be added — and rented out between $350 and $500 per month — as well as a courtyard, a lounge and a pottery shop. The park only has communal work stations now. There is no permanent, individual studio space for artists.
Muth also would like to have funding to hire a manager who could oversee the artistic and marketing side of the operation. Muth's background is in engineering and project construction.
Muth pitched his long-range plan to county commissioners in September but was received with skepticism from some. Commissioner Doug Cody said he doesn't want to be funding a program that provides cheap studio space indefinitely for an artist. He'd rather like to see the park as a stepping stone before artists get their own studio space in a nearby arts district.
"I think it definitely needs some incentive to move on — if not, they would have all this equipment available with nothing invested," he said. "Basically, we're subsidizing people."
However, Muth pointed out that the park was never meant to be a profitable venture, rather an educational and recreational asset to the county, much like a swimming pool or gymnasium. That, in turn, has benefits that reach beyond the bottom line of the park's budget, perhaps attracting homebuyers or vacationers.
"Everyone wants to build an indoor swimming pool and a recreation center, are the fees that people pay ever going to pay for that pool?" Muth said. "No, but that's not the point."
He believes, if brought to its full potential, the park could be a feather in the cap of the county. It already is in many ways.
Visitors from across the globe stop in to see the park, one of the only endeavors in existence that takes gas from a landfill and converts it into art. The Green Energy Park goes hand in glove with nearby Dillsboro, an artsy village known for its studio-lined streets. Two new artist galleries are opening in Dillsboro this month.
County Manager Chuck Wooten acknowledged that the park does have a reputation for the unique work that is done there in the fields of art and green energy. But he expressed concern at investing heavily in expanding studio space that might not even be used. He recommended some sort of market study be conducted to see if there is public interest in renting the space.
"The worst that would happen is to build a facility, and it's a nice facility, but there's no interest in it," Wooten said.
Muth said he receives numerous inquiries about studio space from artists, but that may not be enough to sway commissioners.
If not for the Green Energy Park, the methane gas seeping off the landfill would have to be captured and flared off since it is an environmental hazard.

Senate advances immigrant license bill
MONTPELIER The state Senate has advanced legislation to allow immigrant workers on Vermont farms to become legal drivers, even though they may be in the country illegally.
The 27-2 vote came nearly 19 months after Vermont State Police stopped a car containing two passengers who were Mexican immigrant farmworkers in the country illegally and turned them over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
One of those farmworkers, Danilo Lopez, said Friday he was gratified at the progress made since his release by the Border Patrol for the estimated 1,200 to 1,500 people like him, immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala who entered the U.S. illegally and who now provide much-needed labor on Vermonts dairy farms.
We are really proud, Lopez said through an interpreter. The vote today is due to the testimony and organizing and strong efforts of our community.
Lopez and senators supporting the measure said it would address the isolation many of the farmworkers feel on dairy farms along Vermonts rural dirt roads and allow them better access to services like medical care.
Lopez said he was injured on the job, but was unable to seek care for several hours due to a lack of transportation.
The license itself is much more than a piece of plastic, he said. What it really means is the opportunity and ability to move around, to meet our fundamental needs independently.
Natalia Fajardo, an organizer with the group Migrant Justice, which lobbied for the legislation, said Vermont would join Washington state, Utah, Arizona and Illinois in having some form of drivers license for people who are in the country in violation of immigration laws. She said about 14 other states are considering such measures.
Backers in the Senate said the immigrant workers provide crucial labor to Vermonts iconic dairy farms, as well as in the hospitality industry, doing work that farmers and resort owners are hard-pressed to find enough Americans willing to do. Sen. Jane Kitchel, D-Caledonia, who described the bill to her Senate colleagues, called those workers critical to our economy.
Backers also said better mobility would leave the workers less vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers. Lopez said most Vermont farmers treat their immigrant workers well, though there are some who do not.
The September 2011 police stop of a Vermont driver for speeding when he had two Mexican passengers in the backseat gave impetus to the effort to get the immigrant workers the right to drive, Fajardo said. The troopers focus on the passengers was charged by critics to be a case of racial profiling, and Gov. Peter Shumlin later endorsed a bias-free policing policy under which immigration status was not to be a priority law enforcement matter for the state police.
Under the bill, the immigrant workers will not be eligible for the drivers license that was enhanced last year in keeping with the federal REAL ID Act. REAL ID-compliant licenses incorporate the drivers Social Security number and other data that someone in the country illegally likely would not have.
Instead, the immigrant drivers would get an operators privilege card, providing they had passed the written and road tests required for any drivers license.
Some worried about what Fajardo called the scarlet letter effect, in which someone with the privilege card would be automatically assumed to be in the country illegally. But she said that concern was mitigated by the fact that other Vermonters who dont want to share the information required to get the REAL ID license might use the privilege card, as well.MORE IN Central VermontStudents harming teachers is a little-explored issue at the state level.

The Florida Highway Patrol is defending itself against criticism of its handling of a deadly series of highway crashes that killed 11 people.
The agency released a report Friday rebutting an earlier assessment by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that found errors made by state troopers. The FHP said even if all of FDLE's recommendations were present at the time of the Jan. 29 crashes near Gainesville, it's likely the same thing would have happened.
It also places blame on the drivers themselves, saying "no amount of planning or policy will take the place of driver reaction to low visibility and unpredictable conditions."
Interstate 75 had been blanketed in smoke and fog and was closed for a time. Once it reopened, there was a string of six separate fatal crashes.

The junior varsity teams started off the evening, and the Eagles drew first blood with two first-half goals against the Trojans. The Beeville boys fought back and made it a 2-1 match with a goal from Robert Rodriguez with 4:07 left in the first half.
"The guys came out of the second half determined to not lose and they played that way. We did not give another goal," said JV coach Joshua Blake.
Rodriguez came through with a match tieing goal with just 7:36 left to play. It was 2-2 with the clock running down.
"The last 10 minutes of the game we played shut down defense to stop the Eagles and ended the game in a tie. After the game, I told the guys that I was never more proud of tying a game in my life," said Blake.
"I also told them that I was proud that they never gave up on the game and fought back."
The varsity contest was also well played, on both sides of the field. The Eagles got an early advantage with a goal at the 34:02 mark of the first half. It could have easily been 2-0 as the Eagles got the benefit of a call inside the box and were awarded a penalty kick that put Trojan goal keeper Marcus Ulloa in a close one-on-one situation.
Ulloa blocked the head-on try by the Eagles to keep it a 1-0 match heading into the halftime break.
The second half was all defense and neither side was able to penetrate the other's defense. Ulloa had several saves for the Trojans to keep the score at 1-0.
At the 7:00 minute mark of the game, Beeville forward Ryan Casarez broke in and open in front of the Pleasanton keeper. Casare's kick went high but not too high. It arched over the out-stretched hands of the Eagles' keeper and into the net for the tieing goal.
The defense then again took over, and the 1-1 score on the scoreboard became the final.
The boys played in San Antonio on Tuesday night. The McCollum Cowboys provided the opposition. On Thursday, the two squads will travel back to San Antonio for a match with the Southside Cardinals.

Which 2016 HGH Products Are the Best?
Increase HGH Levels By 337%…
Lately, I've started getting numerous questions about HGH from people of most ages.
One reason for this could be the various advantages being provided by HGH, principal, being the reversal of aging itself.
Other claims comprise its capability to boost your metabolism, Increase height or develop muscle tissue.
Yet allow me to discuss some guidance
So far as issues of health are concerned getting into something without appropriate previous research could backfire with serious outcomes.
Prevent falling for the lies that firms set before you, for they'll endeavor to cover up the minus and exaggerate the advantages to market their goods.
For this reason, it is necessary to get into something only after studying about it first.
That Is because specific hoopla is created by firms about their particular products to offer them to future consumers and in doing that, they constantly present their merchandise as greatest.
Health hazards can be created by these merchandises if use up without appropriate research.
My attempt, through these posts, will be to save you the difficulty, effort, and cash by means of enabling you to see the outcomes of my intensive analysis on Human Growth Hormones.
My research can help you allow you to really make knowledgeable choices concerning the merchandise that you're considering and see the facts, as they're.
Thus, what exactly is precisely Human Growth Hormone?
Human Growth Hormone is generated by the pituitary gland in the brain. This hormone is well known to help development in kids and youths and preserve it through life. The principal property of HGH is to raise height. So as we grow old, the creation of growth hormones from the pituitary gland also slows down. The amount of secretion is greatest in our early childhood. It peaks during puberty if there's an upsurge in its increase. The secretion of the hormone begins reducing from the time we're in our 30's and as we grow old, the pituitary gland generates lesser and lesser of this most significant hormone. The rates of secretion continue to fall throughout our adult life. For this reason, all through our mature life, we must take additional care of our health as compared to when we were younger.
How can Human Growth Hormone help age reversal?
The decline in the amounts of Human Growth Hormone is because of ageing. This essentially induces us to seem old, have issues like depression, diabetes, lack of energy, reduction of muscle mass and every other issue related to ageing.
So maybe you may suppose that by raising HGH levels within the body, it's going to make you appear young and feel fitter. HGH IS THE wonder that brings back your youth if we all go from the theory on which HGH operates?
HGH is actually the fountain of youth that we people were waiting for, for thousands of years if and only if used after extensive market research.
Simply picture, all of the wrinkles gone and also the spring is back in your measure, and of course the exuberance of thoughts, and the slender body.
You may see lots of choices in the marketplace nowadays to cause HGH into the body. There are the HGH injections, oral sprays, natural nutritional supplement, that promise to grow the Human Growth Hormone amounts in the body.
For the convenience, I've independently described below how all the types of causing HGH in the human body works.
The HGH Injection – HGH injections certainly are a synthetic substance injected within your body. These shots are usually taken two or three times a day. These injections are generally very pricey. Just one injection may cost as high as $25. You'd wind up spending just as much as $75 per day. So, using that for 30 days will require your expense up to above $2000 per month. All these are prescription drugs which are not accessible over the counter. Insurance providers do not cover the price of these drugs. I do not need to tell you that there could be side effects related to this, just as they're with anything which is, because this laboratory created Human Growth Hormone shots are artificial artificial So, side effects and expenses do not make this a workable option
HGH Oral Sprays – Scientifically, there is absolutely no evidence these sprays operate. Growth hormone, based on studies, doesn't possess the ability of passing through the membranes of the mouth. That makes it another choice less for you yourself to have a look at.
Natural HGH Releasers – Studies show this technique is definitely successful in augmenting the rates of HGH in our anatomies. All these are quite definitely like the vitamins and therefore are taken in pill form. As the pituitary gland is the most active during slumber, they have to be taken just before going to bed. All these are promised to be 100% natural without synthetic substances, as they're created from a mix of herbs. These herbs activate the pituitary gland and in turn the pituitary gland creates more Human Growth Hormone.
Natural HGH Releasers is clearly a much better option than unnaturally generated artificial HGH.
All these appear to work much better than many others and are tremendously popular. There's no need of a prescription with no side effects are seen yet.
But one demands to avoid dropping for the lies that some firms set before you, for exaggerate the advantages to market their goods and they'll endeavor to cover up the minuses.
Could it be wise to risk and endanger your own personal health for all these lies? NO clearly
Not all HGH products are made equally. And neither are all of the firms making them.
The increasing demand for HGH nutritional supplement has brought some dodgy producers from the woodwork, making and selling substandard HGH supplements. These products tend not to encourage the advantages that the high quality HGH nutritional supplement does.
When you do locate an HGH supplement that works, you may experience increase energy levels; a more youthful appealing, smoother from coming, healthier looking skin; an a lot more extreme libido; a more powerful immune apparatus, and the capability to lose that stubborn fat quicker.
As previously noted, there are several poor goods out there; some of these simply unsuccessful — but some dangerous as they may result in major unwanted side effects. Thus, you have to be cautious and wise as you decide on an HGH supplement.
So just how do you find a very good HGH supplement?
To reply this significant question, we ran a multi stage research project, collecting info from providers and users of HGH.
Before running my wide-ranging research, I developed a strict series of standards against which I might rate HGH nutritional supplement available on the market.
Finally, there were three products that definitely climbed to the peak of the list.
My wide-ranging research project shown three HGH nutritional supplement that outperformed all others contained in the study.
They're recorded below, combined with the unique features that shoved them to the peak of the list.

Behind the Ratings
What Factors Did I Consider When Ranking These Supplements?
I placed the greatest emphasis on quality, testimonials, and customer satisfaction. Importantly, I also considered the reliability of each company: reputation, history, customer support, and whether a solid money-back guarantee is offered.
After speaking to both company representatives and customers, I came to the conclusion that GenF20 Plus is the top option, by a wide margin. GenFX came through in the #2 position. Let me present my findings, in point form:
What Is Special About Them?
Both of these products are 100% natural and have the best combination of natural herbs. Basically, I couldn't find any product that truly compared to these two products. Which means, that a lot of the products out there, are not advertising correctly.
FDA Certified Lab Produces GenF20 Plus
You can feel safe with this supplement because the lab it comes from, is authorized by the FDA and that means strict rules. The GenFX is manufactured by a GMP accredited labs, which bring out the highest standards of pharmaceutical quality.
Upon contacting these companies during my research, I was taken by surprise with the responses I got.
Everybody seemed pleased to fully answer my questions and were even comfortable with us checking anything out. Both companies do offer a money back guarantee.
Your Next Question Is Why? Right?
Both products offer similar results, so why am I partial to the GenF20 over the GenFx?
This was because of the user reviews, as they were the main difference. Plus, I wanted to make sure that I covered all the bases before bringing any information to the table.
The reviews on the top two supplements were given by hundreds of consumers and based on the quick action. GenF20 came out with a rating of 4.8 out of 5, while GenFX only got a 4.0 out of 5 stars. Obviously the GenF20 came out on top.
Try Them Out And Make Your Own Decision
Just because you are unsure, doesn't mean you can't try it. If you don't like it, you can get your money back without having to worry about side effects.
The websites are easy enough to find, www.GenF20Plus.com and for GenFX it's just www.GenFX.com
Please do keep in mind that you don't want to mix these products together. Combining products without the knowledge of what could happen, could end up extremely dangerous.
Because of the amount of products out there, deciding on just one can be difficult. I do know that many companies take advantage of our lack of knowledge and cheat on their claims.
This does tend to make the average consumer indecisive when it comes to a product that is being truthful.

Michigan's Upper Peninsula is full of rich history to uncover. And with heritage bike tours available throughout July, there's no better time to explore the area. Troy Henderson, a historian with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, gives us an inside look at what bike tour attendees will discover.
The iron industry on the Marquette Range is a big story to tell. There are museums like the one I work at, the Michigan Iron Industry Museum, which exhibits the iron industry in Michigan from its pioneer roots to the present. There are also many physical historical sites connected to the iron industry that you can actually stand in front of and observe. We are offering iron ore heritage bike tours that give visitors the best of both worlds.
In July, the Michigan Iron Industry Museum will host several iron ore heritage bike tours along the new segment of the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. We will start each tour at the museum with an orientation of the Carp River forge site, where the first ore was smelted on the Marquette Range in the 1840s.
From the museum, we will bike westward on a crushed limestone aggregate trail toward the Jackson Mine in Negaunee, where miners broke up and transported the ore that was smelted at the Carp River forge. This forested portion of the trail grades uphill to Negaunee.
Before reaching "Old Towne" Negaunee, a segment of town that was once abandoned and relocated due to the caving potential of the underground mine shafts, we will see some good examples of the iconic sandstone architecture of the Lake Superior region.
Today the trail from "Old Towne" Negaunee westward toward Ishpeming looks like a park, but it was once a mixed residential and industrial landscape. We will pass by foundational remnants of that landscape on this segment to the tour, including a stop at the historic Jackson Mine pit. Here, drill markings can still be seen on the walls of iron ore that were bored over a century ago.
Before the turnaround point we will pass an old stone hoist house, the curious circular foundation of a railroad turntable, and Jasper Knob. Within view of Cliffs Shaft, the iconic pyramidal shaft head frames that dominate the Ishpeming landscape, we will turn around for the return trip.
Bikers will have all earned a delicious lunch on the return trip from Negaunee's Midtown Bakery and Café, where we will have a chance to explore "Old Towne" Negaunee in a little more detail. After lunch, it is downhill back to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum.
The Iron Ore Heritage Bike tours will take place July 11, 18, and 25. Each tour will start at 10 a.m. and the total route is approximately 15 miles. The fee is $20 per participant, which includes lunch and a Michigan Iron Industry Museum souvenir. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited per tour. Find the registration form at michigan.gov/ironindustrymuseum and view the online calendar for July.
For more information about the tours or the Michigan Iron Industry Museum, contact the museum office at 906-475-7857 or e-mail Troy Henderson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Troy Henderson is a DNR historian with the Michigan Historical Center. He is the site historian of Fayette Historic Town Site and his headquartered at the Michigan Iron Industry Museum.

All About Cakes
Secrets for Butter Cakes
Use butter, margarine or solid shortening. Don't substitute oil, even if the recipe calls for the shortening to be melted.
Use solid shortening to prepare the pan. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with solid vegetable shortening (butter, margarine and oil don't coat as evenly). Use a paper towel or pastry brush to spread the shortening. Then dust the greased pan with flour, shaking it until the bottom and sides are well coated. (If you're baking a chocolate cake, you can use cocoa instead of flour.) Tap out the excess flour. For nonstick pans, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Instead of greasing and flouring pans, you also may use pan inserts made of parchment paper. The inserts are available at many cooking specialty stores. Use paper or foil baking cups to line cupcake pans.
Make a hollow. After filling the pan with batter, make a slight hollow in the center of the batter with the back of a spoon or spatula. This will give the cake a nicely rounded, rather than humped, top.
Cool cake in the pan. Cool cake on a wire rack for 5 to 20 minutes before removing it from the pan. To remove a cake, carefully run a knife along the edge to loosen it from the pan. Place another wire rack on top of the pan. With the pan sandwiched between the two racks, turn it over. Carefully lift the pan from the cake. To make sure that the top of the cake will be facing up, once again sandwich the cake between two racks and turn it over. Remove the top rack.
If the cake sticks to the pan, return it to the oven and heat for 1 minute. Remove it from the pan.
Cut the cake with a thin, sharp knife. Use a sawing, back-and-forth motion. If the frosting sticks, dip the knife in hot water and wipe it with a damp towel after cutting each slice. An electric knife also works well for cutting most layer cakes.


text: I have been exclusively pumping for a few weeks now (my son is 6 weeks old). I pump as much as he allows me to, which usually ends up being every 2-3 hours... even at night. For the past few days, my output has been significantly less than it has been. I think part of it is because I am feeling frustrated and fed up with it. It's getting to be really difficult to bottle feed and then pump, and still find time to bond with my son and get stuff done around the house. I am going back to work in 2 weeks, and I'm afraid that I'll have even less time to pump. Any advice on how to get my mind back into this?

Qimonda AG dynamic random access memory maker from Germany has filed an application with the local court in Munich today to open insolvency proceedings. Their goal is to reorganize the companies as part of the ongoing restructuring program. The court has appointed a preliminary insolvency administrator.
"German insolvency law offers the opportunity to accelerate the restructuring process that has already been started in order to reposition the company back onto a solid base. Qimonda possesses established products and, with its Buried Wordline technology, is currently bringing a promising future technology to the market," said Kin Wah Loh, president and chief executive officer of Qimonda AG.
Qimonda already introduced a global restructuring and cost reduction program in October in order to reposition the company. The main focus of the program is to concentrate on core competencies, such as the innovative Buried Wordline technology, as well as the company's strong portfolio of infrastructure and graphics products.
The insolvency petition is the result of the massive drop in prices in the DRAM industry and dramatically decreased access to financing on the capital markets, both of which have led to the deterioration of the financial position of Qimonda in recent months. A financing package involving the Free State of Saxony, parent company Infineon, a leading Portuguese financial institution and additional banks could not be completed in time, despite intensive but also very complex negotiations and financial support committed by customers over the past days and weeks. Furthermore, an increased need for financing for the current financial year recently became apparent as a consequence of the price decline in the December quarter and the fact that important investments needed for productivity improvements could not be made due to the delay in negotiations.
The temporary insolvency administrator will analyze the situation at Qimonda in the coming days.
"It is still too early to make a well-founded assessment. What is already clear is that we are dealing with a highly complex situation and an extremely capital-intensive business. Therefore, contributions from financially strong investors are required to reach a sustainable solution," said preliminary insolvency administrator Dr. Michael Jaffé.

This guideline is to ensure that everyone that participates in Hiker Chicks of Phoenix events meets the required criteria for membership (Women only, at least 21 years of age).
Any member of Hiker Chicks of Phoenix is fully responsible for herself, for only herself and holds no other member or organizer of Hiker Chicks of Phoenix responsible or liable in the event of injury.
Hiker Chicks of Phoenix is neither a company nor a legal entity; it is a group of women that are affiliated through their membership in Meetup.com and by a common interest in outdoor sports. Outdoor sports can be dangerous, even deadly. Each Hiker Chicks of Phoenix member is fully responsible to:
1) Assess her own physical ability to participate in events.
2) To decide which events she will participate in.
3) To be fully responsible for herself at all times during scheduled activities, holding only herself liable for her participation in those activities and the outcomes of her participation in those activities.
Any member that has accumulated 3 "no shows" in attendance will be removed from the group.
We track attendance to reduce the number of "no shows" for our events. If you RSVP yes to an event and fail to attend without contacting the Event Host or without revising your RSVP in advance of the event, your attendance for the event will be marked "no show". We understand that sometimes our members will forget or will have unforeseen events that will prevent them from attending events they have RSVP'd to attend. However, any member that has 3 or more no-shows will be removed from the group.
Suggesting Trips
Anyone that is a Hiker Chicks of Phoenix member may suggest an event and is encouraged to do so.
In order to suggest a trip, please attend a monthly meeting or, you may contact one of the Hiker Chicks of Phoenix organizers. We may request to meet you in person in advance of scheduling a suggested event if you wish to lead the event. If you visit the "Organizers" panel on the Hiker Chicks of Phoenix Meetup homepage, you can select anyone on the Organizers list to contact an Organizer by email and suggest a Meetup.
New members must be approved by the Organizer

Clarence D. MacMahan
Clarence D. MacMahan
WATERFORD Clarence Delbert Mac MacMahan, 86, passed away in the comfort of his Waterford home at 2105 Hale Road on Thursday evening, October 17, 2013. Born in Bath, Maine, on May 28, 1927, he was the son of the late Clarence Delwin and Lena J. (Carter) MacMahan.
Mac lived on Five Islands, Maine, and was a graduate of Eliot (Maine) High School. Joining the U.S. Navy right out of high school, Mac served during WWII on the USS Leyte and the USS Randolph. Following his discharge, Mac worked at the Portsmouth, N.H., Shipyard.
Mac started his construction career working for the Landers and Griffin Co. of Kittery, Maine, and then moving to Vermont in the early 50s. He was employed as a grader operator for several contractors that included Lane Construction Co., the Perini Co. and the Morrison Knudson Co. His grader vocation found him working on the Vermont highway systems of Interstates 89 and 91, covering about three-quarters of the total roads constructed. He also worked on the Westover Air Base in Massachusetts, as well as the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire for the Alvin J. Coleman and Son Co. Retiring in 1989, Mac enjoyed his time fishing, hunting and cutting and stacking firewood for his home.
Mac is survived by his wife of 51 years, Sharon (Lumbra) MacMahan of Waterford; his children, James MacMahan and his wife, Mary, of Springfield, Amy Snellings of Powhatan, Va., Dan MacMahan and his wife, Janine, of Guildhall; seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; his two sisters, Roberta Spinney and Verna Davis, both of Eliot, Maine; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.
It was Macs desire to have services be private for family.
For those who wish, memorial gifts would be appreciated to the Waterbury American Legion Post 59 Veterans Fund, PO Box 417, Waterbury, VT 05676; or to the Kingdom Community Food Shelf, 36 Steeple Place, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819.

Happy blog anniversary, Emma! Since the last September, it has been my great pleasure to visit here and enjoy your heartful posts and comments. Without you and your blog, my first blog in English would have been perished at the end of Season 2009. I'll be looking forward to celebrate the second anniversary with additional fascinating memories of Season 2010.
Thank you for coming here, reading and posting! Hey! maybe I will see you at Camelback! You just never know when I make a trip on the spur of the moment. haha. Just watch out for the cameras on the freeway. Remember what happened to me last year.
Thank you so much! You are so sweeet! We happen to be posting about the same time when I found your blog last year and I am so glad I did!
We aim to pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase🙂
Emma, I was going to ask you something. I know you said last year that the cameras got you on your way to Camelback. But I just wanted to ask you something. Here you said, "Just watch out for the cameras on the freeway." Do they ACTUALLY have cameras on the freeway, or are do they have it on the surface streets? Let me know! And I'd LOVE to run into you at Camelback! 🙂
Emma…..are you going to the Joe Torre/Sandy K. event at the Nokia Theatre? I grabbed 4 tickets today, and it seems like a win/win. Get to see the legendary Kofax, and give to a great charity.
YES! the cameras are on the freeway (I-10) and two of them are very close together.
Here is the link from my post in April last year.
….36 cameras on the following freeways 10, 101, 51, 60, 117, Take a look at this link for all the camera locations. See all the red marks? Some are very close together. http://photoenforcement.azdps.gov/Cameras/
Yes! I am going! I put a post about it here January 13th once I was emailed about the event. I went last time to the Scully/Wooden event. That is the way I look at it that is a win/win situation. We get to see the great legendary Sandy Koufax and we contribute to Torre's Safe At Home fountation to end the cycle of domestic abuse. Let me know where you will be sitting! I am so looking forward to it. Less than two weeks away!
Happy (late) Anniversary!!!! Your blog is very entertaining and I can't wait until the season starts😀
Lol i remember dodger dogs back when i ate meat. I admit those were pretty good you can't really resist them🙂
Thanks Mimi! Dodger Stadium has also Veggie Dogs! My friend Erik is a vegetarian so that is what he eats.
congrats on the anniversary!
this is my favorite weekend/week of the year.
NBA allstar festivities, daytona 500, valentines day, MY BIRTHDAY, mardi gras, ash wednesday (i like lent, honorable time and i enjoy all the fish!) and PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORTING!
Thanks Matt,
I can see why is your favorite weekend! Happy 21st Birthday! I like Lent too and giving meat and whatever else I give up and donating the money saved. So excited about P&C reporting soon!
Can you believe it is going to be 81 here in Chatsworth, CA today!
It's imepiratve that more people make this exact point.

Add monitoring to your Android application
Mobile Analytics is now App Monitoring and content about Mobile Analytics is deprecated. For documentation related to these features, please see App Monitoring content, such as:
- Installing the Apigee SDK for Android
- Monitoring app usage data
- Monitoring network performance
- Customizing app monitoring
- Monitoring app errors and crashes
For information on migrating to App Monitoring, see Migrating from Mobile Analytics to App Monitoring.
- Step 1: Sign in to Apigee Mobile Analytics
- Step 2: Add a new app
- Step 3: Download the Android SDK
- Step 4: Add JAR files to the classpath
- Step 5: Order the JAR files to the top of the classpath
- Step 6: Import and Initialize Mobile Analytics
- Step 7: Add permissions
- Step 8: Integrate log monitoring into your app
- Step 9: Build and Test your app
- (Optional) Integrate network monitoring into your app
- (Optional) Enable application-specific configuration
- (Optional) Refresh configuration parameters while app is running
- (Optional) Get the Apigee Device ID
- Troubleshooting
Here's how to integrate Mobile Analytics monitoring and configuration functionality into your Android application.
Step 1: Sign in to Apigee Mobile Analytics
Sign in or create a new account if you do not already have one.
Step 2: Add a new app
Click Add New App and give your app a name. Click Save. Mobile Analytics will generate unique identification keys for your application. The keys are: App Id, Consumer Key, and Secret Key . You'll need to use them when you initialize the SDK
Step 3: Download the Android SDK
Download and unzip the Mobile Analytics Android SDK. The client code is distributed as a binary library.
Step 4: Add JAR files to the classpath
Add the instaops-android-<version_number>.jar file to your class path.
For Android 4.0 (or later) projects: Copy the jar file into the libs folder in your project.
For Android 3.0 (or earlier) projects: Perform the following steps in Eclipse for the instaops-android-<version_number>.jar file:
- Select your application's project.
- Select File > Properties.
- Select Java Build Path
- Click the Add External JARs button in the Java Build Path page.
- Browse to the instaops-android-<version_number>.jar file, and click the Open button
If you use the Ant tool to build your application, copy the instaops-android-<version_number>.jar file to the libs folder in your application.
Step 5: Order the JAR files to the top of the classpath
Order the instaops-android-<version_number>.jar at the top of the class path.
For Android 4.0 (or later) projects: You can skip this step because Android will automatically order the JAR files properly.
For Android 3.0 (or earlier) projects: Perform the following steps in Eclipse:
- Select your application's project.
- Select File > Properties.
- Select Java Build Path
- Select the "Order and Export" tab
- IMPORTANT: Select checkboxes for instaops-android-<version_number>.jar, and click the "Top" button
Step 6: Import and Initialize Mobile Analytics
Import the MA class from the downloaded Android client by adding the following code to your main activity. Your main activity is identified in your applications's AndroidManifest.xml file.
import com.instaops.android.MA; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); boolean crashReportingEnabled = true; MA.initialize("<app_id>", "<consumer_key>","<secret_key>",this,crashReportingEnabled); ... }
Replace <app_id>, <consumer_key>, <secret_key> with the app ID access key, and secret key for your application. You can find these values in the Mobile Analytics Portal by navigating to Configure > App Description.
If you would like to disable our crash reporting functionality (if you're using another framework for this), just pass false for the corresponding argument of the initialize method.
Note: You need to import and initialize Mobile Analytics and any Android service that your application uses. An Android service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface.
Step 7: Add permissions
Add the following Internet permissions to your application's AndroidManifest.xml file (unless they have already been added). Note that with the exception of INTERNET, enabling all other permissions is optional.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
Step 8: Integrate log monitoring into your app
To enable remote logging, replace android.util.Log with com.instaops.android.Log. Apigee's logger preserves the Android Logging API, so you should not need to modify any of your existing code. For example:
Change your package imports from:
import android.util.Log;
import com.instaops.android.Log;
Examples of logging statements:
Log.i("MY_TAG", "this is an informational message"); Log.e("MY_TAG", "this is an error-level message");
Step 9: Build and Test your app
Congratulations. Run your app and you should be able to see new session data appear in 2-3 minutes.
(Optional) Integrate network monitoring into your app
To enable network monitoring, replace references to the Android HTTP Client with the Mobile Analytics HTTP Client. For example:
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient()
HttpClient client = MANet.getHttpClient();
Alternatively, you can wrap an existing HTTP client. This approach is useful if you have a custom HTTP client, or if you need to initialize an HTTP client in a special way. You can wrap an HTTP client like this:
HttpClient wrappedHTTPClient = MANet.wrap(originalClient);
If you're using HttpURLConnection, change:
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(uri);
com.instaops.android.URLWrapper url = MANet.urlForUri(uri);
Our URLWrapper class provides the same interface as java.net.URL, so you can use it as though it were a normal URL object (e.g., call openConnection on it).
If you're using a WebView, simply set our custom class for the client:
webView.setWebViewClient(new com.instaops.android.InstaOpsWebViewClient(this));
This call would be made in your onActivityCreated method (Fragment) or your onCreate method (Activity).
(Optional) Enable application-specific configuration
To enable an application-specific configuration for a parameter, add the following code. This allows Mobile Analytics to retrieve the parameter:
String value = MAConfig.getValue("<category>", "<key>");
Replace <category> and <key> with the category and key value for the parameter.
(Optional) Refresh configuration parameters while app is running
If you'd like to refresh (re-read) your configuration parameters after your application has already been initialized and is running, you may request the refresh as follows:
if (MA.refreshConfiguration(null)) { Log.i("MY_TAG","configuration refresh requested"); } else { Log.i("MY_TAG","unable to refresh configuration"); }
This method call (refreshConfiguration) is asynchronous. If you'd like to know when the re-read of the configuration has completed, pass a non-null value for the method argument. The argument is an interface (com.instaops.android.ConfigurationReloadedListener) whose interface is:
public interface ConfigurationReloadedListener { public void configurationReloaded(); }
Please note that if you specify a non-null value for the listener interface, the callback method (configurationReloaded) will be called on a background (non-UI) thread.
(Optional) Get the Apigee Device ID
To send application specific configurations to particular devices, you many need a way to display the Apigee Device ID to your beta testers. (We suggest displaying this ID in a help activity or a About activity). For example, to set the device ID in a text field, use the following code:
TextView device_id = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.about_fifth_line); try { device_id.setText(MA.getApigeeDeviceId()); } catch (Exception e) { }
Q: Everything compiles, but my app is crashing. What's going on?
A: It's likely that your app's JAR files are not ordered properly. Make sure you follow Step 5 again.
Q: I'm getting duplicate classes exceptions when running my app. What's going on?
A: It's likely that your app depends on a library that is already included in our Android SDK. You will need to remove those libraries manually from the Android SDK. This is tricky, so feel free to contact Apigee Support, and we'll guide you through this process.
Q: I don't use HTTP Client for my network connections. What do I do?
A: We will support other popular networking packages over time (such as, java.net.URL). Let us know in the forum what you want, and we'll let you know when we will be supporting that network library. We will also be open sourcing the client soon, so you can write your own wrapper for your favorite network library.
Help or comments?
- If something's not working: Ask the Apigee Community or see Apigee Support.
- If something's wrong with the docs: Send Docs Feedback
(Incorrect? Unclear? Broken link? Typo?)

I'm worried about my sister but have nothing from my infant feeding experience to offer her. Her 5 week old feeds 2-3 times an hour during the day and every hour at night except once a night her husband gives the baby a bottle of formula and then she manages to get 3 hours of sleep. He is 1 lb over his birthweight. She's not in pain but absolutely exhausted.
My sister had Chemotherapy 5 years ago for cervical cancer. I don't know whether this could play a role.

At our 9 month check up my son was tested for iron and we were told it was a bit low. Our ped suggested increasing iron rich foods and/or vitamin supplements. I don't want to mess with supplements, considering the adverse effects.
I purchased some blackstrap molasses and have been trying to come up with ways to incorporate it into my son's diet. We are doing BLW so no purees to mix it into. So far we have mixed it in with cream of wheat and yogurt spread on waffles, both successful.
Anyone else work molasses into their baby's diet?

This is a roundup of five power supplies from Enermax, a well-reputed brand among experienced users. These PSUs fall into two groups. One group includes the rather old and well-known models manufactured under the trademarks of Galaxy, Infiniti and Liberty. Two of them were covered by our reviews one and two years ago. And the other group includes products from the new MODU82+ and PRO82+ series. We have actually tested aMODU82+ PSU not that long ago, but we return to this series in this review for the sake of comparison with PRO82+ which, according to the manufacturer, has the same characteristics but costs less due to the lack of detachable cables.
Testing Methodology
Click the following link for a description of our testing methodology and equipment and a brief explanation of what the specified and tested parameters of power supplies mean: X-bit Labs Presents: Power Supply Units Testing Methodology In-Depth. If you feel overwhelmed with the numbers and terms this article abounds in, check out an appropriate section of the mentioned article for explanation.
You can also go to our Cooling/PSU section to check out reviews of other PSU models we have had in our lab.
Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX850EWL (850W)
This PSU comes in a huge colorful box.
Especially impressive is the text on the box informing you that the PSU can power up four CPUs, four cores in each CPU, five graphics cards, and 24 hard disk drives. I don't want to question this fact (especially as the tiny text nearby says that it's just a possibility while the reality depends on the power consumption of specific components), but I do wonder if this PSU is necessary for a system including far fewer CPUs, graphics cards and HDDs.
There are two smaller boxes inside: one contains the PSU proper and the other contains detachable cables, a mains cord, a user manual and small accessories such as screws, stickers, etc.
The PSU is up to the dimensions of the box, measuring 220 millimeters in length (75 millimeters more than a standard ATX unit). Well, the mention of five graphics cards and two dozen HDDs should have already made it clear that the Galaxy DXX is not for cramped system cases.
Besides the On/Off switch and mains connector, there is a two-color LED on the external panel. It reports the status of the PSU: normal operation, activated protection or fan failure. There is also a rather loud tweeter for the last two situations, so you are sure to get informed when the fan of your Galaxy DXX stops for some reason. The square button next to the LED is for resetting the protection.
The PSU is modular with detachable cables (besides a few fixed cables that are always used in any PC). The connectors differ in color and keys, so you won't be able to plug anything wrong.
Despite its huge dimensions, the PSU has high component density due to the large heatsinks and a couple of transformers. The latter are used in parallel rather than as two independent sub-PSUs as in the Thermaltake Toughpower W0133 or Corsair HX1000W. The PSU has active PFC (its choke is in the top of the photograph, to the right of the two large capacitors) and dedicated voltage regulation (the group of chokes in the bottom of the photo).
There is a third, smaller, transformer next to the two large ones. It is covered with a white plate from above. This is a transformer of the standby 5V source. Although Enermax puts an emphasis on it in the marketing materials, calling the Galaxy DXX a "triple-transformer PSU," I have to say there is nothing special about it. Every ATX-compliant power supply has a standby source and, accordingly, a similar transformer.
The high-voltage rectifier uses capacitors from Hitachi. JP CE-TUL capacitors are installed at the PSU's output.
I could find no fault with the Galaxy DXX as concerns the soldering or mounting of large components, from chokes to wires.
The PSU has an original cooling system with one large 135mm fan (RL4T B1352512MB-3M model from Globe Fan) and one 80mm fan (SuperRed CHA8012DB-OA model from Cheng Home Electronic).
