|Highway system
Pennsylvania Route 313 (PA 313) is a mostly 2-lane, 18-mile-long (29 km) state highway entirely within Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The western end of PA 313 is at an intersection with PA 309 and PA 663 in Quakertown. The easstern end is at an intersection with PA 263 in the Doylestown Township community of Furlong. PA 313 is signed an east–west road, although it runs almost purely northwest–southeast through most of its course. It is a major arterial road in central and northern Bucks County as it connects several communities including Quakertown, Dublin, and Doylestown.
The predecessors to present-day PA 313 were the Swamp Road, constructed in 1737, and the Dublin Pike, built in 1876. The route between Kulps Corner and Doylestown was originally designated as part of PA 113 by 1927, with a portion in Quakertown designated as PA 212 by the same time. PA 313 was designated by 1930 to run from U.S. Route 309 (US 309) and PA 312 in Quakertown southeast to PA 113 and PA 413 in Kulps Corner. The roadway was finished during the 1930s. PA 313 was extended southeast to US 202 in Buckingham by 1947, replacing a part of PA 113. The route was moved to its current eastern terminus by 1980.
Route description[edit]
PA 313 begins at an intersection with PA 309 and the northern terminus of PA 663 in Quakertown, Bucks County. Past the western terminus, the roadway continues as PA 663. From this intersection, PA 313 heads east on two-lane undivided West Broad Street, passing a mix of homes and businesses before heading into residential areas past the Main Street intersection. The route heads into the commercial downtown of Quakertown, where it splits into a one-way pair with two lanes in each direction. PA 313 becomes a two-way, two-lane road again and crosses an East Penn Railroad line, becoming East Broad Street and coming to an intersection with the western terminus of PA 212. Following this intersection, the road passes homes, turning to the southeast. PA 313 continues near more residences with some businesses, making a turn to the east and leaving Quakertown for Richland Township. Here, the route becomes Doylestown Pike and heads southeast through areas of fields and woods with some homes. The road heads into more forested areas and enters East Rockhill Township at the Rockhill Road intersection, where the name changes to Dublin Pike. PA 313 comes to an intersection with PA 563, which heads northeast to Nockamixon State Park, at which point PA 563 joins PA 313 in a concurrency. The road passes to the southwest of the state park and continues through a mix of farm fields and woods with occasional residences. PA 563 splits from PA 313 by heading southwest on Ridge Road.[2][3]
Past this intersection, PA 313 continues southeast, passing through more rural areas. At the Old Bethlehem Road intersection, the route becomes the border between Bedminster Township to the northeast and Hilltown Township to the southwest, running through agricultural areas with some woods and homes. The road crosses PA 113 in Kulps Corner, at which point there are a few businesses. PA 313 heads into Dublin at the Rickert Road intersection and becomes Main Street, where it passes homes and businesses. The route runs past more residences before it leaves Dublin and becomes the border between Bedminster Township and Hilltown Township again, with the name changing back to Dublin Pike. The road heads into rural areas with some development and becomes the border between Plumstead Township to the northeast and Hilltown Township to the southwest at the Applebutter Road intersection, at which point the name changes to Swamp Road. At the intersection with Stump Road/Upper Stump Road, PA 313 becomes the line between Plumstead Township to the northeast and New Britain Township to the southwest, continuing through farmland with some woods and homes. The route passes to the northeast of Peace Valley Park before it comes to an intersection with Ferry Road in the community of Fountainville.[2][3]
At this point, the road becomes the border between Plumstead Township to the northeast and Doylestown Township to the southwest, heading past residential subdivisions. PA 313 heads into commercial areas and widens into a four-lane divided highway as it comes to a partial interchange with the PA 611 freeway bypass of Doylestown, with access to southbound PA 611 and from northbound PA 611. The route passes more businesses as a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane, becoming the border between Buckingham Township to the northeast and Doylestown Township to the southwest before crossing Easton Road/Main Street. Past the Old Easton Road intersection a short distance later, the road becomes two lanes and runs along the line between Buckingham Township to the northeast and Doylestown to the southwest, passing homes and businesses before running between farm fields to the northeast and Fonthill County Park to the southwest, which contains the Fonthill Museum and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. PA 313 fully enters Doylestown at the Court Street intersection and passes through residential areas. The route becomes the border between Buckingham Township and Doylestown again as it runs near more homes and reaches an intersection with US 202. Following this intersection, PA 313 runs along the border between Buckingham Township to the northeast and Doylestown Township to the southwest, passing through a mix of woods and residential subdivisions before it reaches its eastern terminus at an intersection with PA 263 in the community of Furlong. Past this intersection, Swamp Road continues southeast as an unnumbered road toward Newtown.[2][3]
Swamp Road dates back to 1737, when the Newtown Road was constructed and connected Newtown with Quakertown and Milford Township.[4] The Dublin Pike was constructed in 1876.[5] When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, what is now PA 313 from northwest of Dublin to Doylestown was legislated as part of Legislative Route 154.[6] By 1927, PA 212 was designated on the westernmost part of current PA 313 and PA 113 was designated along the part of present-day PA 313 between Kulps Corner and Doylestown.[7] PA 313 was designated by 1930 to run from US 309 (now PA 309) and PA 312 (now PA 663) in Quakertown southeast to PA 113 and PA 413 in Kulps Corner. At this time, the route southeast of Quakertown was under construction.[8] The portion of PA 313 between Quakertown and Kulps Corner was completed during the 1930s.[9] PA 313 was extended southeast to US 202, PA 263, and PA 413 in Buckingham by 1947, replacing PA 113 between Kulps Corner and Doylestown, passing to the north of Doylestown, and replacing PA 113 along a concurrency with US 202 between Doylestown and Buckingham.[10][11] By 1980, PA 313 was rerouted to end at its present location at PA 263.[12]

Pennsylvania Route 313 Truck signs are posted to direct trucks from westbound PA 212 to PA 313 in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, avoiding the intersection between PA 212 and PA 313. From PA 212, the route runs west on Mill Street and south on 4th Street to PA 313.[13]
PA 313 Alternate Truck[edit]
|Bucks County, Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Route 313 Alternate Truck was a truck route around a weight-restricted bridge over Beaver Run in Quakertown, on which trucks over 36 tons and combination loads over 40 tons were prohibited. The route followed PA 309, Lawn Avenue, and PA 563. It was signed in 2013, but the bridge was repaired, thus decommissioning PA 313 Alt. Truck in 2015.[14][15]

Donatella Versace's latest eyewear collection Etoile de la Mer was unveiled during Haute Couture Fashion Week last Monday in Paris.
The campaign image features supermodel Gisèle Bündchen, photographed by Mert & Marcus at an abandoned pool in the California desert.
The collection, which will be available in Versace boutiques and selected retailers worldwide from March 2012, focuses on just two sunglasses and one optical model.
""Gisele was the perfect choice for this campaign. Her beauty is so bold in these images and she radiates true strength and sensuality," Donatella Versace said.
"Designed for the ideal Versace siren in the city during a hot summer, the Étoile De La Mer sunglasses and optics capture the sensuality and strength of their muse."

What is WITSML?
Wellsite information transfer standard markup language (WITSML) is an open standard for defining and transmitting technical drilling data between disparate systems and companies in the E&P petroleum industry.
WITSML is a technology which allows previously incompatible or proprietary systems to interoperate and share data.
The WITSML standard is being developed and maintained by
Energistics, a non-profit
consortium designed to develop and deploy open data exchange
standards in the oil and gas industry.
What is JWitsml 2.0?JWitsml 2.0 is a Java library for accessing data on WITSML servers. The goal of the JWitsml project is to support WITSML client software with WITSML data through a clean, complete, well documented, efficient and extremely simple to use Java programming interface.
There exists many tools available for browsing WITSML data, but in order to get hold of the actual data for performing advanced computations or create custom applications, a library like JWitsml is required.
JWitsml 2.0 can be used for:
JWitsml 2.0 supports WITSML version
1.3 and
One more thing... JWitsml-ETPThe upcoming JWitsml release is the ETP version compatible with WITSML 2.0 and the Energistics Transfer Protocol. This is based on the full-duplex WebSockets technology that enables more efficient two-way communication between WITSML servers and the client programs.
WITSML 2.0 and ETP is work-in-progress at Energistics.
The JWitsml-ETP release is at the prototype stage, but expect it
to be ready and available at the moment these standards are released.

Aerial Spraying for Mosquitoes Set for Tonight in Brandon/Whiting Areas
For Immediate Release: Sept. 6, 2012
Media Contact: Communication Office
Vermont Department of Health
BURLINGTON – If weather conditions allow, aerial spraying for mosquitoes is set to begin tonight from 8 p.m. through 11 p.m. in two 16-square mile areas near mosquito pools that have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).
The Whiting spray zone is centered on Stickney Road between Cornwall and Whiting. The Brandon spray zone lies between Leicester and Brandon along nearly all of Grove Street.
For a map and more information about spraying and precautions to take for people and animals, go to www.healthvermont.gov, www.vermontagriculture.com, or dial 2-1-1.
EEE is a rare but serious and often fatal disease caused by the bite of an infected mosquito. Nationally, about six people every year are diagnosed with EEE. In Vermont, the first two human cases of EEE were confirmed on Sept. 1, and one person has died. Because the risk to public health is significant, the spraying tonight is designed to reduce the population of infected mosquitoes in the area.
The pesticide product to be used, Anvil 10+10 (Sumithrin), will be sprayed in very low volume concentrations from a fixed-wing aircraft. Sumithrin is found in other pesticides used indoors and on pets and animals to control fleas, ticks and other insects.
If exposed to these low levels of Anvil, the risk of health effects for people and other mammals is very low. To avoid any exposure, people in the spraying zones should take the following precautions:
- Stay inside or away from the area during spraying and for about 30 minutes afterwards. Keep pets with their food and water inside too.
- Close windows and doors, turn off fans and outside vents before spraying begins.
- If you come into contact with spray, rinse eyes with water immediately. Wash exposed skin. Wash clothes that come in direct contact with spray separately from other laundry.
- As always, consult your health care provider if you have health problems.
For livestock, provide water only in a covered area, or empty and turn water troughs upside down. Do not refill them until the morning. Or cover water troughs for the night. Prevent livestock from grazing on exposed pastures during the night of spraying.
All Vermonters should take the following actions to protect themselves from mosquito bites and risk of infection from EEE and West Nile virus:
- Limit the amount of time spent outdoors at dawn and dusk.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants outside when mosquitoes are active.
- Use insect repellents labeled as being effective against mosquitoes.
- Remove standing water around your house.
For more information go Healthvermont.gov or dial 2-1-1.

Threat description
Delwin was found from Denmark in Spring 1995. It infects the MBR of the hard drive as well as all accessed EXE files. Delwin is a fast infector.
Delwin is also a full stealth virus, hiding all the changes to boot sectors and EXE files as long as it is resident.
The virus is encrypted and contains the text "DELWIN". Delwin activates when WIN.COM is executed. After this, it will modify the 'check-dos-version' service to always report v2.10. This will prevent many programs from being executed. Otherwise the virus is harmless.
Delwin.1759 got widespread circulation in May 1996 when an infected copy of the full version of 'Duke Nukem 3D' game was distributed via pirate systems.
There is also another variant, 1199 bytes in length.
Automatic action
Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.
More information on scanning and removal options available in your F-Secure product can be found in the Help Center.

I can't consider myself an athiest because I do believe in a supreme intelligence. Maybe athiests believe that there is more to this than what meets the eye, and choose not to call it God. I choose to use the word or the symbol God, that is a preference. Religious idealogy certainly should be questioned with an open mind. I believe God is not known through words or symbols but ONLY through experience. Experience could be defined in other words; synchronicity, coincidence, psychic abilities, knowing, truth, etc... Experience cannot and never will be able to be described and can only be known by the one 'experiencing' it.
Beyond belief is reality. That is one of the most 'enlightening' things I ever heard. Think about it. Maybe WE are the false Gods that the bible tells us NOT to worship. We come into this world not knowing sh*t and begin to erect a FALSE self that thinks it knows something. We create OURSELVES. The problem is the fear that maybe we did NOT create ourselves. Maybe we really do have a creator. Than what? If we do does it look down on us and say, "look at all these horrible, sinning, false God creating lost souls. I must punish them!" No, I don't think that is what it is about... lol Take all your beliefs away, even the belief that your an athiest, or a Christian, or a Buddhist, or whatever. Take ALL OF THEM away and what do you got? Reality.

A Book and Movie Review of The Hunger Games by Christie Lou
A Book and Movie Review of Hunger Games
Is the book better than the movie?
In the book and movie the Hunger Games, there slightly differences, but both are good. The book is better if you have an imagination and can picture the action in your mind. The movie is better if you have a hard time putting details or clues together. The best thing about the movie is that it explains everything in detail so you cannot miss a thing. But the best thing about the book is that it's the original idea.
The book has the amazing original plot, the rising action stays throughout the chapters making the suspense greater and greater. In the gory parts of the book, it is extremely graphic and gives great detail, mostly about Peeta's leg and how it gets amputated in the end.

Space Jam 1996
Call it guilty pleasure, call it childhood nostalgia, but I love this movie - I really, really love this movie to it's core.
The story is "ludacris", but still very, very entertaining and fun. The characters are awesome, the Looney Tunes are great, Michael Jordan plays it's roll pretty well, Larry Bird, Bill Murray and Wayne Knight are great additions with their completely different, goofy character treats. The design of the monsters fits the appearance of the actual NBA players,…
The Hangover Part II 2011
Best thing about this movie is the Johnny Cash Song when the wolfpack wakes up in Bangkok! Also the bride of Stu is pretty cute. Half a star for the song, half a star for her.

It might not seem like any part of Southern California, but the light snow we got in the higher elevations we got last week is the closest we come to a winter snow storm.
Sure, it might pale in comparison to places where the snow actually covers the ground, but this is ours and it's still miserable for me to be standing around in it to do live shots.
The part of highway 5 near Gorman that routinely gets closed in snowy weather was once again the goto spot for me to bring a satellite truck and a bag packed with extra clothes (just in case I might be staying for a few days).
There were a couple of things I was happy about.
I was running the SAT truck and we weren't going to be hanging out on the bridge over the highway where the wind can pick up a man and send him flying to his death in front of oncoming traffic.
What? Just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it couldn't.
I mean, with the way my luck went that night, I wouldn't have been surprised.
My little SAT truck that could, died on me. Dish motor function malfunction and the only spot for a microwave shot from at area is the hated bridge.
Luckily we only did one live hit before the station pulled us for breaking news.
A big rig truck had caused a seven vehicle accident on the 5 near the 14.
Uh. . .wait, did I say, luckily?

Defying the odds. Some teams have an innate ability to do that. In 2010, the Giants did everything right in the postseason en route to their first championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958. It was the franchise's first title in 54 years, and the team seemed like a throwback to the modern clubs (a la the Yankees) that had perpetually played in the World Series.
Two years later, a similar theme has emerged: The scrappy, never-say-die Giants won three games on the road to overtake Cincinnati and win their National League Division Series. Having made history, the Giants hope to recreate it by returning to the World Series in 2012.
To do so, they will have to beat the defending world champion St. Louis Cardinals and in many ways, confront a team very much like themselves: Resilient, hard-working, clutch and battle-tested. With all due respect to the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees, the real battle of this postseason may very well be in this series right here.
That said, here are my five keys to the Giants winning their second pennant in three years.

Represents everything great about independent theatre. Performances of enormous craft, intellectual rigor and a grandly emotional pay-off. Absolutely gorgeous.
The populations of the world have been decimated in a global epidemic. Apocalyptic weather has washed civilization into the ocean. A little girl has survived… and she is growing feathers!
The Snow Hen spends her days fishing for remnants of civilization that float in with the tide, each new day unearthing memories of her vanished family. Her lonely existence is broken by a haunted wanderer, a giant survivor, who crashes into her world. They fall for each other, and then they fall apart.
Based on the Jostedalsrypa myth which emerged from the Black Death of the 14th century in Norway, The Snow Hen pairs with The Eaten Heart as two-thirds of The Debate Society's planned "Black Plague Trilogy". The play was developed with the help of a Sons of Norway Foundation Heritage and Culture Grant and a Chashama AREA Performing Arts Grant and premiered at The Charlie Pineapple Theater in Brooklyn, NY in February 2006.

Walnut Tree Toxicity

Black walnut is a common and useful tree that is native to much of
The roots of black walnut trees produce a toxic substance called juglone
which adversely affects plants that are sensitive to it.
Plants which cannot tolerate juglone will show symptoms such as
yellowing and wilting foliage and they will ultimately die from its
toxic effects. It is
believed that juglone acts as a respiration inhibitor, leaving plants
unable to breathe and sapping their energy.
Juglone is produced in the trees' roots but is present in all parts of
black walnut trees, and is strongest in the buds and nut hulls.
The leaves and twigs contain smaller amounts of juglone, but
black walnut trees have a habit of continually dropping leaves and nuts
from late summer through autumn and this debris only adds to the
toxicity problem. Because of
the accumulation of leaves and nuts beneath the tree, and also because
of rain running off the leaves, the entire drip zone beneath a black
walnut tree can be a hazardous environment for juglone-sensitive plants.
Some plants that are extremely sensitive to juglone won't grow
within fifty feet of the dripzone of a black walnut tree.
Cutting down the offending black walnut tree won't solve the juglone
problem either. The roots
will continue to release juglone into the soil and the area can remain
toxic for several years after the tree is gone.
A gardener I know removed several scruffy black walnut trees from
her backyard to make room for a garden, but even six years later she
wasn't able to grow tomatoes in that area.
The good news is that not all plants are sensitive to juglone.
Many trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables will grow in close
proximity to a black walnut tree, although even some of the
juglone-resistant plants will struggle if they are directly beneath the
Here's a short list of some of the more popular plants known to
tolerate juglone:
Trees & Shrubs - Eastern redbud, hickories, oaks, most maples,
Southern catalpa, red cedar, peach,
cherry, nectarine, some plums and pears, Thuja arborvitae, Euonymous
species, and most Viburnums.
Vegetables - Squash, melons, beets, corn, carrots, onions, parsnips.
Annual Flowers - Calendula, morning glory, zinnias, fibrous begonias.
Perennials - Hollyhocks, iris, ferns, most daffodils and narcissus,
astilbe, crocus, snowdrops, Jack-in-the-pulpit, cranesbill, coral bells,
monarda, spiderwort, some hostas.
And wouldn't it just figure; poison
ivy doesn't mind juglone and will thrive under a black walnut tree.
Plants which are extremely sensitive to juglone and won't thrive
within fifty feet of the drip line of a black walnut tree include
hydrangeas, peonies, rhubarb, silver maple, white birches, apple trees,
Norway spruce and Mugo pine, mountain laurels, most azaleas, lilacs,
blueberries, cabbage and broccoli, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes.
Juglone-sensitve plants may be grown in containers that are kept near a
black walnut tree, so long as they are not directly beneath the tree
where leaves and nuts could fall into the pots or rain could drip from
the leaves onto the plants.
If you like to garden, black walnut trees would not be a good choice for
your landscape. But if the
trees already exist on your property, you can still garden if you take a
bit of extra care.

The ABA is an enormous and diverse entity with dozens of departments, committees and divisions. It is also a wealth of information and a valuable resource for state and local bars on almost any issue or project that a bar association is confronting. The key is knowing who to contact at the ABA.
In almost all circumstances, your first point of contact at the ABA is the Division of Bar Services (312/988-5352). The division serves as the principle link between the ABA and state/local bar associations. This means that the division can not only provide you with information on ABA activities, but can direct you to a state or local association that can be of assistance. If the division cannot answer your inquiry directly, they can refer you to the appropriate ABA official, division, or committee. The director of the division is Roseanne Lucianek. Pamela Robinson and Elizabeth Derrico are the associate directors.
The ABA has numerous national conferences. The three that are budgeted annually are:
NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BAR PRESIDENTS - Held the Friday and Saturday prior to the ABA Annual Meeting (early August) and the ABA Mid-Year Meeting (early February). The president is invited to attend the annual meeting; the president-elect is invited to attend the mid-year meeting.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BAR EXECUTIVES - A 2-day conference for bar executives held the Wednesday and Thursday prior to the National Conference of Bar Presidents.
BAR LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE - An annual 2½ day intensive training program for bar presidents-elect held each March in Chicago.

UPPER NYACK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A man who went from civilian to hero on Sept. 11, 2001 is having his story retold in a new documentary.
As WCBS 880's Sean Adams reported, 24-year-old Welles Crowther has come to be known as the man in the red bandana for sacrificing his own life to help save several people on that day.
Crowther's red bandana will be among the hundreds of artifacts and personal effects that will be on display when the National Sept. 11 Museum opens in the spring.
The story of Welles Crowther is also being told in a new documentary.
"It's very special and very beautiful. It really means a tremendous amount to us," his mother Allison Crowther told Adams.
LINK: More On Welles Crowther's Legacy
Months after the terror attacks, the Crowthers learned of their son's bravery and valor. Survivors spoke of a mysterious savior with a red bandana over his face, Adams reported.
He always carried such a handkerchief just like his father, Adams reported.
"From a very, very young early age, he demonstrated so many of the qualities and traits of the man he became," Jeff Crowther, Welles' father, said.
"I just was so proud of him because it all became sort of clear what he did. And to know this story was such a gift," Allison Crowther said.
Welles Crowther was a volunteer firefighter in Rockland County but worked as a trader in the World Trade Center.
RELATED: More Stories From Main Street
Matthew Weiss, an attorney and family friends with the Crowthers, said he was so moved by the story that he asked if he could make a documentary.
"He went from the 104th floor down to the 78th, which is pretty much crash location where many of the victims were located," said Weiss. "Helped people get down, carrying a woman on his back from 78 to 61, then he went from 61 back to 78. So he went up 17 flights in a burning building. Helped another group, started down four, five flights and went back up."
Weiss said it's important to him to have Welles Crowther's legacy go on so his heroism is not forgotten.
"There are songs written about Welles, artwork, poems. A young man had a Bar Mitzvah with a red bandana theme and a speech about Welles. There are ministers and pastors who've sermonized about Welles, there are babies named after Welles," Weiss said. "The story of selflessness, of heroism, of courageousness."
Welles' sister has written a children's book and his parents have developed a school curriculum inspired his heroism. They also raise funds and grant scholarships in their son's name.
"He really made a difference and saved lives," Allison Crowther said.

Experts from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) headquartered in US, found that receipts collected from stores and Automated Teller Machines (ATM) contain BPA chemical known to be harmful for human health.
EWG, a non-profit environmental organization specializes in environmental research and advocacy in the areas of toxic chemicals, agricultural subsidies, public lands and corporate accountability.
CBC News quoted Dave Andrews, senior scientist at EWG as saying, "The BPA is in much higher concentration in the receipts and much higher concentrations are available to be wiped off the receipts."
Research details
EWG researchers collected 36 receipts from various ATMs, retail stores, fast food joints and gas stations in seven states along with District of Columbia.
The University of Missouri Division of Biological Sciences laboratory conducted 'wipe tests' to analyze the receipts for BPA on them.
The tests showed that the chemical could easily rub off on the hands and be absorbed into the skin and moved to the digestive tract by touching the mouth.
Furthermore, the total amount of BPA on receipts was found to be 250 to 1,000 times the amount usually found in a food can or plastic bottle.
According to previous researches, the chemical is used as a hardening agent in bottles and in liners of food cans.
Animal tests conducted earlier have linked BPA exposure to an array of health problems like: cancer, obesity, diabetes, and early puberty.
However, the studies are debatable and their relation with human health is unclear.
Expert advice
The EWG issued guidelines to reduce BPA exposure which included declining receipts at gas stations, ATMs and other stores when possible.
Experts also advise to keep receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse and washing hands after handling them.
Also, alcohol-based hand cleaners should be avoided as they may raise skin's BPA absorption, as found by a previous research.
Besides, keeping receipts away from children to avoid BPA exposure is advisable.
Additionally, one should take advantage of store services that email or store paperless purchase records.
Recycling receipts and other thermal paper is non-advisable as BPA deposits from receipts contaminate recycled paper.
Researchers also advise checking paper for thermal treatment by rubbing it with a coin. This friction discolors thermal paper whereas conventional paper remains the same.

Perfect example... I fished the North earlier this year with my go-to 9' 4wt. and also did well with a 11" bow as my biggest out of that river. Looking forward to going back up there again this fall!
Can't imagine a 6' as my 7'9" is borderline too short for my tastes. I just like having more line control. I will however reach for the shorter rod (4pc.) for ease of packability when I head into the backcountry. As already suggested, I think it's hard to beat a good 8' 4wt. or 5wt. rod to do it all in the park. Again, just my opinion.

Nice app, how often does it ping each site? How has it been affecting battery life? Also, how do alerts work? Can AIR do stock Android notifications now?

air.net.URLMonitor pings every 10 seconds. So, I assume this is not great for battery life. No, unfortunately AIR can not yet do native Android notifications.

Questions and answers with W. Bernard Carlson
Bernie Carlson is chair of the department of engineering and society and a professor in the department of history at the University of Virginia. He received his bachelor's degree in history at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts and his PhD in the history and sociology of science at the University of Pennsylvania. Carlson recently served five years as executive secretary for the Society for the History of Technology.
In his research, Carlson focuses on how inventors think and work and on how different societies shape technology to suit their needs and values. He has written the book Innovation as a Social Process: Elihu Thomson and the Rise of General Electric, 1870–1900 (Cambridge University Press, 1991) and has edited the seven-volume Technology in World History (Oxford University Press, 2005). Last year the Teaching Company released DVDs of 36 lectures by Carlson on inventions that changed the world.
Carlson's most recent book is Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age (Princeton University Press, 2013). It was selected as one of the best books in science for 2013 by both Amazon.com and the American Library Association's Booklist. (See a similar "best of 2013" list by Physics Today here.) At his website http://www.teslainnovation.com, Carlson includes links to other articles he has written that connect Tesla to modern-day innovation and entrepreneurship. Physics Today recently caught up with Carlson to discuss the book.
PHOTO CREDIT: Tom Cogill
PT: What motivated you to write this biography, and what makes it different from existing ones about Tesla?
Carlson: I first became interested in Tesla when I wrote a paper about the AC/DC controversy for a physics class on electricity and magnetism. Little did I realize that 35 years later I would publish a book on Tesla! When I started on the biography, I assumed that Tesla would be an intellectual challenge. I had already written about his rivals Thomas Edison and Elihu Thomson, and so I figured that Tesla would be a good way for me to continue to develop my understanding of how inventors think and work.
However, as I dug deeper into Tesla's career, I came to realize that what I wanted to do was to give people an accurate picture of his work as an inventor. Most of the previous Tesla biographies are weak on how his inventions actually worked, and I wanted to give people the information they would need to make up their own minds about Tesla's achievements and failures.
PT: What other examples from Tesla's professional and personal life appear in your book that you felt were unreported or underreported?
Carlson: On the professional side, one of the challenges was how to address the claims that he made about his work in Colorado Springs in 1899: that he had broadcast power around the world and that he had detected a message from Mars. Previous biographers have implied that Tesla may have let his imagination run wild in Colorado Springs. I think that he observed real phenomena there but interpreted his observations in unusual ways. For instance, Kenneth Corum and James Corum have shown that Tesla probably detected radio signals from one of Jupiter's moons, Io.
On the personal side, I investigated how Tesla suffered from periodic bouts of depression and, at one point, treated his melancholy with electrical shocks. I found that depression was the best way of understanding many of Tesla's curious traits and habits; it made much more sense than seeing him as suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder or other psychological conditions.
PT: Would you say that Tesla, especially compared with Edison, was more inventor than entrepreneur?
Carlson: Edison was much more of an entrepreneur than Tesla in that Edison was willing to raise capital, organize companies, and build factories. However, this is not to say that Tesla lacked any business sense. He pursued a business strategy of patenting his inventions, promoting them through spectacular demonstrations, and then selling the intellectual property to the highest bidder—a strategy that is regularly employed today by lots of Silicon Valley innovators.
PT: If Tesla were alive today, who would you compare or contrast him with?
Carlson: In terms of contemporary figures, I find that Tesla and Steve Jobs share a number of common traits. Both men sought to understand the essence of an invention or product, the fundamental guiding principle or function. Both were highly sensitive to aesthetics, and both understood the importance of using demonstrations and illusions to get people excited about technology. Both Tesla and Jobs were charismatic; in his biography of Jobs, Walter Isaacson describes how Jobs could create a "reality distortion field," leading people to embrace his ideas, and I think Tesla had the same talent. Both Tesla and Jobs were not easily accepted by the business establishment and were often derided as visionaries.
PT: What's the next major project for you?
Carlson: Along with editing a handbook on the history of technology, I am beginning a project on what I call "dynamic duos" of invention and entrepreneurship. Although we tend to write about innovators as individuals, they often do their best work when they partner with people who complement their strengths and offset their weaknesses. From James Watt and Matthew Boulton to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the history of breakthrough technologies is as much about partnerships as it is solitary geniuses.
PT: So then who were Edison's and Tesla's "Wozniak"?
Carlson: In the case of Edison, it varied from project to project, but the key business partners for the incandescent lamp were Grosvenor Lowery and Sherburne Eaton. For Tesla, the AC motor was a result of his partnership with a lawyer named Charles Peck.
PT: What books are you currently reading?
Carlson: I am just finishing Jon Gertner's The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation (Penguin Press, 2012; see the Physics Today review here and a Q&A with Gertner here). And I am about to start Paul Kennedy's Engineers of Victory: The Problem Solvers Who Turned the Tide in the Second World War (Random House, 2013).

California-based Stion continues to defy the odds of the suffering solar manufacturing sector, by raising another round of equity funding.
The maker of low-cost thin-film solar modules closed a $25 million round to expand production capacity at its Mississippi manufacturing facility.
That's not all - Stion wants to raise another $30 million over the next year, according to its filing with the SEC.
The current round will boost capacity to 140 megawatts a year from the current 100 MW.
Stion expects to invest up to $500 million in the plant over the next six years bringing it to 500 MW of capacity and creating 1,000 solar jobs in the process.
So far, Stion has raised more than $240 million, including a $130 million equity investment last year from AVACO and Korean private equity funds. That infusion was specifically focused on developing next-generation production equipment to reduce Stion's manufacturing costs and improve module efficiency.
The lead investor in this latest round is Khosla Ventures, and many existing investors are expected to participate. Stion's backers include Taiwan Semiconductor (through VentureTech Allliance), Lightspeed Venture Partners, Braemar Energy Ventures, and General Catalyst Partners.
Stion also recently received $2 million through the Department of Energy's SunShot incubator program to help scale production of its high-efficiency CIGS technology.
Stion's ability to attract new money is notable amidst the cutthroat competitive climate for solar manufacturers. It's one of a handful of solar companies that have managed to attract venture capital over the past year or so, while one of its former rivals, Miasole, was sold off this year for a mere $30 million.
Stion isn't immune from those troubles – it recently laid off some engineers and operations employees as a cost-cutting measure.
Here's Stion's website:
