General Dynamics Awarded NextGen Task Order
Aerospace and defense technology provider General Dynamics (GD) has received a $12 million task order from FAA to provide support to the agency's NextGen Integration and Evaluation Capability (NIEC) under the System Engineering 2020 program.
The System Engineering 2020 program is a 10-year contract award issued to GD in 2010 for NextGen research, with a potential value of $1.2 billion if all options are exercised. Funding is provided through individual task orders, such as the $12 million award issued to GD on Monday to provide engineering, operations, software design and development, infrastructure and administrative support to NIEC's laboratory located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center at the Atlantic City (N.J.) International Airport.
The General Dynamics team for the System Engineering 2020 program includes Gulfstream and Jet Aviation.
In addition to the latest task order, the General Dynamics team has been tasked with performing mission-analysis for air traffic management automation, avionic systems operations and maintenance and cost-benefit analysis.

N.Y. Power Authority Launches Recharge New York Program With Informational Meetings On Long Island
Paul DeMichele
(914) 390-8186
September 15, 2011
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) continues its statewide informational meetings on the ReCharge New York program next week, with NYPA representatives providing details on the new economic development power program signed into law earlier this year by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo (www.governor.ny.gov/press/04142011rechargenewyork).
Below are the locations for the planned informational meetings on Long Island. All meetings will be held twice at each location at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Sept. 19: Uniondale—Marriott Long Island (516-794-3800), 101 James Doolittle Blvd., 11553
Sept. 20: Hauppauge—Sheraton Long Island (631-231-1100), 110 Motor Parkway, 11788
"ReCharge New York is a potent economic development initiative for providing eligible businesses throughout the state with low-cost electricity, to support new and existing jobs and capital expansion," said Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA's acting president and chief executive officer. "The meetings being held by the Power Authority will provide businesses with information on the key elements of the new power allocation program in order for the state to maximize the economic development benefits. I want to thank Governor Cuomo for his leadership in spearheading the legislation for making the ReCharge New York Program possible, as we look forward to carrying out his vision for economic development."
ReCharge New York, which becomes effective on July 1, 2012, will make available low-cost electricity to attract new businesses and encourage existing firms and not-for-profit organizations to stay and grow in the state. Companies will be awarded power contracts based on capital investment commitments, job retention and creation, consistency with regional economic development council priorities, and other factors. Businesses participating in the program must also demonstrate a commitment to maximizing energy efficiency.
Details and a full list of the statewide venues for the ReCharge New York meeting dates are available at: www.nypa.gov/rechargeny or by calling 888-JOBSNYS (888-562-7697).
About NYPA:

Skip to comments.Novel imagines Sarah Palin presidency ("Christian Nation")
Posted on 07/03/2013 11:52:00 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
The McCain/Palin ticket lost in 2008, right? Fiction can change that.
Christian Nation is a new novel from lawyer Fred Rich that wonders what would happen if the Republican ticket won in 2008. But Rich goes even further than that, plotting a would-be Palin presidency after McCain passes away in the novel.
And although its fiction, Rich is dead serious about what a Palin presidency would mean for the country. As the title suggest, Rich is concerned about how religious extremists on the right could upend society.
If somebody like Sarah Palin, who holds so firmly to this conviction that America is and should be a Christian nation, what would happen if she actually had the power to implement it? Rich says his book paints a picture of what that path would look like.
How could the federal courts, which are the only defense against all the nonsense you see out of the state legislatures, how could the federal court system be neutralized? What legislative strategies could the Christian right pursue were they in control of the Congress? It shows that its not impossible or unthinkable for them to actually be able to implement that agenda.
What would happen, according to Rich and the book is a government that claims to speak for God and policies based solely on the Bible, which would overwhelming hurt gay Americans.
Rich says he used to be Roman Catholic, but now hes an atheist. And he used to be a Republican, but now hes an independent. And he says his book shouldnt offend all Christians, just the extreme ones.
This book is not intended to be a shrill, bombastic addition to this conversation. Its intended to be a much more thoughtful piece of work.....
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Fearmongering from the Marxist left that told us the Red Scare was unfounded hysteria about Soviet influence in American media and the State Department.
Breaking News: 34% of Your Fellow Citizens Want a Theocracy Posted: 06/18/2013 3:20 pm
by Fred Rich
Author, 'Christian Nation'
I pity the poor butt pirates and rug munchers. Christians really don't care what they do. We just don't want to see it or hear about it. They think they're so important and the topic of conversation. But the vocal ones are just immature attention whores. Like the author of this book.
Of course, the demonization of the left's greatest fear starts well before the presidential campaign season.
I had to read this a bit to see where it was going. Opposite to what I first expected.
The U.S. has always been a "Christian Nation." Up until now. And it wouldn't have been a bad thing if a Christian had made it into the White House.
Sarah did NOTHING to impose Christianity on unwilling Alaskans. What her Christianity did was to teach her the difference between right and wrong—not a bad thing for a politician to understand.
But the left just doesn't get that. They'd rather kill babies, have gay affairs, and smoke pot.
Here he is again, over at Daily Beast:
Were Not a Christian Nation
"Rich says he used to be Roman Catholic, but now hes an atheist."
Don't you just love it when non Christians, especially atheists, tell US what Christianity is all about?
I think its obvious that we are no longer a Christian nation.
Oh good grief!
Sarah may be a very Christian woman, but I'm fairly certain that she's read the Bill of Rights, that includes that 1st amendment freedom of religion (or no religion) and would defend them to her dying breath.
Yea, yea, yea, Sarah's all washed up, yesterday's news... Snort!
Well ... I'm an extreme Christian. I'm not offended.
I am concerned for the state of his soul ... he seems to be on a path which will end badly. May God grant him the grace of repentance and conversion.
The answer from history is clear.
The country would look exactly as it was from 1607 until 1960.
Been there. Done that. Have the Constitution.
As great as she is, Sarah would not be able to reverse everything that is now ailing this nation in four years. Or in eight. Or in eighty-eight.
Then who do you propose?
It's beyond the power of any one person or any short-term solutions. That was kind of my point. Frankly I don't think it's getting fixed in my lifetime.
Not to say it would not be a HUGE relief to see her there as opposed to the current occupant.
As someone who has outbred Sarah Palin by 100%, I can only say to Mr. Rich, "Sucks to be you, doesn't it?"
They are still scared spitless of her. Not meant to be shrill, bombastic ... yeah, right.
Leftists imagine that conservatives will round them up and put them in camps because that is what they want to and will, given the chance, do to us.
A worthless target attracts no fire.
The fool doesn't understand the power of Palin's appeal to "that streak of libertarian." (Disclosure: I am not a member of the Libertarian party, as it has come to mutilate and distort true libertarian principle along the same lines as Romney mutilated and distorted "conservatism.")
Does the Christian who serves Christ advocate for law to seek and punish homosexuals? Does that Christian want to create law that would specify that homosexuals may not pretend to get married, and that they may not become adoptive parents?
OR does the Democrat party, the left, the liberals, progressives, facists, Marxists, Socialists, communists, atheists -- anybody not described as "conservative" -- does that faction of America advocate for law to seek and punish businesses, churches, schools, businesses, and adoption agencies that tell those homosexual to go somewhere else?
What kind of adoption agency would allow the precious childrens' souls entrusted to their care, to be taken up by such declared perversion? Catholic agencies in Masschusettes closed down before doing that. How long would an adoption agency last that did, before public pressure or vice cops closed it down? How well received would a civic organization for boys, such as the Boy Scouts, be if it openly embraced and welcomed people in leadership who declared a preference for homosexuality? Voluntarily, in a free-market social America with no laws specifically prohibiting and prosecuting such living-out of open homosexuality, how long would such pro-homosexual enclaves exist?
When Palin talks about "the libertarian streak" in Americans, I believe that a very large part of that group are Christians and moral, good Americans who just want the goverment, especially the Federal government, to get out of it. They know that limited government is what's needed for people to live morally -- right now, government acts against and seeks to prosecute certain moral choices, such as the one of peacefully discriminating against individuals who declare preference for homosexuality.
Yet there is a virulent strain of resistance to the truth that libertarian limited government principle and Christian morality can indeed coexist (and in fact have fairly well for the first 200 years in America before leftist government came in to enforce their view that it's immoral to peacefully, willfully descriminate against those who openly declare homosexuality).
There are some Christians, who all to often are defaulted to "conservative" status, who also crave government authority to prosecute their own definition of "bad" moral choices -- for America's good, of course! They hate libertarianism with a passion.
Palin was a Christian in her personal life, but not a "Christianist" in politics. So they got that wrong.
But never mind. the author claims he "used to be a Catholic" and "used to be a Republican", but since most Catholics in the past were democrats, it makes me wonder about his agenda.
What's so Amusing And dangerous. Is how deathly afraid some people seem to be of anybody they figure may be a sincere Christian or Jewish believer in God. These fraidycats remind me of Dracula when faced with a crucifix. So tragic a response So very sad.

Pumpkin Pancakes with Root Beer Syrup, Caramelized Bananas, and Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Recipe courtesy of George Bumbaris, Four Seasons Hotel, Chicago
- Follow That Food
- Pancakes:
- 1 cup pastry flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/16 teaspoon cloves
- 1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/16 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 -ounce melted butter
- 4 egg whites, whipped to soft peak
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Root Beer Syrup:
- 4 (16-ounce) bottles root beer
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- Caramelized Bananas:
- 4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 ounces butter
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
- 4 ounces whipping cream
- Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
To make pancakes, sift together all of the dry ingredients. In a bowl, combine the puree, whole eggs, and the half-and-half. Add the flour mixture and stir, being careful not to over mix the batter. Finish with the melted butter. Gently fold in 1/2 the egg whites to loosen the batter and when the whites are nearly incorporated, fold in the remaining egg whites.
Heat the griddle to medium heat. Drizzle enough vegetable oil to prevent sticking and spoon batter onto griddle, spreading them with the back of the spoon. When pancakes are golden brown, flip to finish cooking.
To make the root beer syrup, reduce root beer until it becomes a thick glaze. Whisk in the butter and spoon over pancakes.
Cut the bananas in 1/2 lengthwise. Heat a saute pan to medium and melt the butter and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize. Add the bananas and toss to coat.
To prepare the whipped cream, whisk the cream, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl until it holds a stiff peak.
To serve, stack the pancakes on each plate. Spoon the syrup over the pancakes, top with the caramelized bananas and a dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.

The Wall Street Journal just published a list of 127 NCAA football teams and ranked them according to which teams had the best home field records. It may surprise you not to find the likes of successful teams like Oregon, Alabama or The Ohio State University ( the first undisputed NCAA football champion in NCAA history) but instead many from some of the smaller conferences.. Topping the list is the North Texas Mean Green who are 39 and 1 in Apogee Stadium (pictured). Second, and no surprise to this Big Ten fan, is Wisconsin. Now the home field itself isn't the only factor when determining home field advantage.. One has to assume that the quality of the officials, the crowd, and schedules would have something to do with it. If you wanna see the entire list of 127, go to this link http://www.wsj.com/articles/who-has-college-footballs-biggest-home-field-advantage-1441405838 , Otherwise browse the top ten list below:

"What we found was that 104 out of the 109 lice populations we tested had high levels of gene mutations, which have been linked to resistance to pyrethroids," said Kyong Yoon, who conducted the research. Apparently, these lice are impervious to some of the most popular medical treatments aside from shaving one side of your head, setting fire to the other side and then trying to get them one at a time with an ice pick (that was a joke) scratch scratch scratch...

Although states have their own laws and specifics that apply to a citizen's arrest, in the United States private individuals have the authority to make an arrest, even without a warrant.

But there are lots of particulars you should know before you try.. Above all know the laws of your state.

In 2014, the first NCAA College Football Championship Tournament resulted in The Ohio State Buckeyes earning, what many call, the first undisputed national college NCAA Division 1 football champion. Different polls and systems have declared national champions based on algorithms, guess, coaches voting and in some cases, perhaps pixie dust. In the 2000's more than a dozen systems have been used to determine the college football national champions (or at least the best team that year), including the Anderson and Hestor system, the BCS, the Dunkel system, Berryman system and the Eck to name a few. Since 1999, there have been only 5 (including the Buckeyes) that were named by all the polls/systems as champions. Interestingly one of those teams, the 2004 USC Trojans, had to vacate the championship and as far this author knows, no replacement was named (Oklahoma,Auburn,Utah and Boise State were undefeated in 2004), though Auburn is generally recognized as the champion that year) Here are the champions recognized from 2000 -2014:

Seeking to avoid the financial "holiday hangover" that often comes in January, many consumers are planning to spend less than they did on holiday gifts in 2005. In fact, although overall holiday spending is expected to increase this year, a survey by Prinicpal Financial Group found that just 9 percent of workers and 5 percent of retirees planned to spend more money than last year. Looking for a thoughtful gift idea? A pretty package of your homemade Christmas cookies is sure to please (and you get to enjoy the moments you share with your family while making them). Further, fed up with the increasingly prevalent materialistic aspects of the holidays, many Americans are seeking ways to bring back the real meaning of the holiday season. Finally, some people are just plain old very last-minute shoppers, and are therefore, well, pushed to consider alternatives to typical purchased gifts. One such way is giving gifts from the heart, which cost no money but impart a lot of meaning.

Washburn WD32SCE £299
Electro-acoustics are everywhere. Almost every luthier makes them, and as a result prices are competitive. Here's a selection of eight worthy models ranging in price from £199 to £499, kicking-off with Washburn's WD32SCE.
Everyone knows Washburn produces some damn fine electric guitars: the awesome Idol Series and Nuno Bettencourt's N-Series guitars have all triggered spontaneous moistening of undergarments in the office. But will its acoustic guitars have the same effect on our laundry - or will it just dampen our enthusiasm?
Let's strip down that WD32SCE model name. The 'S' bit stands for solid, indicating that this guitar has a solid spruce top. We always like to see that on a guitar at this price point. The 'CE' refers to the guitar's status as a cutaway electric. So, now we know what we're dealing with here, let's play the thing.
Washburn has been building acoustic guitars since 1883 so it's no surprise that the guys are pretty good at it now. All that experience is clear to see in the WD32SCE. This guitar is a true all-rounder: it scores top marks thanks to its sweet acoustic tone and Washburn's trademark slim neck profile that makes fretting any chord a breeze.
Thanks to the onboard B-Band pickup/preamp combo the amplified sound of the WD32SCE is just as satisfying as its acoustic tone making this guitar the perfect tool for live work and recording in the studio.
The WD32SCE sounds great, is beautifully built and finished and plays far better than we could have expected at this price point. Oh, and shop around and you'll find this peach selling for as low as £229. Time for a change of underwear now then…
Pros: Great tone and playability.
Against: We couldn't fault it.
Next: Yamaha APX500
Yamaha APX500 £299
Yamaha's claim that its APX500 "offers fantastic tone at a reasonable price" becomes even more intriguing when you shop around. We found this best-selling electro-acoustic for just £189. That's over a hundred sheets cheaper than the recommended retail price!
The APX500 is compact. The smaller body makes it a great choice for electric players who need an acoustic in their arsenal but don't want to wrestle with a full-bodied dreadnought guitar. Other good bits? A quality onboard preamp with a built-in tuner.
The APX500's small body means it can't quite compete with the acoustic tones of bigger guitars. No worries, this little fella really starts to make sense when it's plugged in.
There's a huge range of tones available from the guitar's three-band EQ, and the guitar's compact size also means that swapping between the APX500 and your electric guitar won't seem like such a stretch. The slim neck helps too.
So it's easy to see why the APX500 is such a big seller. At £299 it's well worth checking out; at under £200 it's a stone bargain. OK, it's not an all-rounder like some electros but if you intend to plug your acoustic into an amp the majority of the time, the APX500 deserves to be on your must-try list.
Pros: Good playability, amplified tone.
Cons: Not the best acoustic tone.
Next: Adam Black S-5CE
Adam Black S-5CE £199
Every guitar company reckons its instruments are the best, and relative newcomer Adam Black is no exception.
Adam Black says the basis of its guitars is "quality where it is essential for the player's expressiveness to be transferred to the sound of the instrument". Sounds like grammatically suspect marketing waffle to us…
OK, waffle aside, Adam Black has put a lot of thought into the construction of its guitars. Fancy cosmetic details aren't its bag. Instead you get dovetail neck joints (good news for tone and sustain), scalloped bracing and good quality hardware like Grover 'heads and a preamp with a built-in tuner.
The best thing about the S-5CE is its acoustic tone. Strum it hard and it fills the room with a beautiful well-balanced sound. Pick it gently with your fingers and you'll love its crisp top end and deep bass. Whack a microphone on it and we think this guitar would kill in a recording studio.
It's only when you amplify it via the onboard pickup that the enthusiasm dulls a bit. The pickup/preamp setup isn't quite as satisfying as units on other guitars.
Don't get us wrong though, it's not terrible, but we much preferred this guitar acoustically. Adam Black may be the newbie in this illustrious line-up but it's off to a flying start. In fact, we reckon the company should forget about all that marketing guff and let its guitars speak for themselves.
Pros: Acoustic tone, construction.
Cons: Scratchy amplified sound.
Next: Vintage VEC380N
Vintage VEC380N £249
Vintage is determined to 'own' the entry-level guitar market. The company that brought you the Metal Axxe guitars, the battle-scarred Icon series and the Advance range of electrics, has set its sights on the acoustic market. The VEC380N here is one of its big hitters…
The VEC380N is as wide as a super jumbo but not as deep as a regular dreadnought guitar. It's depth is similar to Yamaha's APX500. Cosmetically, it has an attractive old-school slotted headstock and tasty flame maple back and sides. It's even got an ebony fingerboard.
If it's a beauty queen you're after then the VEC380N is worth considering. The flame maple back and sides help it to stand out from the crowd, and that slotted headstock with its gold machinehead looks ace.
The preamp and pickup system helps this guitar punch above its weight too. It's a Shadow system and what those guys don't know about amplifying acoustics, er, isn't worth knowing. Plugged in this guitar can handle just about anything. Conversely, its shallow body results in a bright acoustic tone that lacks some depth in the bottom end. As it is, a price of only £169 in some shops could be the real clincher.
Pros: Looks, sweet amplified sound.
Cons: Slightly weak acoustic tone.
Next: Ibanez JSA5
Ibanez JSA5 £399
Hard to imagine Joe Satriani doing anything as prosaic as strumming an A minor, but the shred godfather reckons he's sold on the Ibanez JSA5. "It feels great, plays great and sounds wonderful," spouts Satch. "It has outstanding projection, an impressive dynamic range with a powerful clear tone, and a full and balanced sound that's perfect for strumming, soloing or delicate fingerpicking."
Apparently designed by Satriani himself, the JSA5's slim 103mm body and whopping 405mm soundboard are more like a jumbo, adding up to the most manageable player in this selection, even before you throw in a slim neck that feels like it's been transplanted from an electric. By comparison, though, the tone is more derivative.
The Sonicore piezo does a great job conveying the JSA5's natural jangle, and the keen note definition is admittedly great for solos, but overall there's perhaps not quite the departure you expect from an instrument with Satriani's name above the door. It sounds great - but so do a hundred spruce/mahogany models priced less than £399.
The JSA5's physical performance leaves you in no doubt this is a player's guitar, and we're all for that. To be clear, we do like the tone, but can't help feeling a sense of déjà vu and stealing envious glances at Satch's more expensive JSA10 (£899), whose solid rosewood body and flashier electronics could throw the tonal curveball this model needs.
Pros: Physical performance, keen tone.
Cons: Lack of tonal identity.
Next: Takamine EG481SCX
Takamine EG481SCX £399
Some rockers worry that an acoustic will turn them into a bare-footed hippie. No danger of that with Takamine's cutaway bruiser, which banishes such drippy connotations with its hearse-inspired paint job and Hells Angel bike chain rosette.
The timbers are a familiar spruce/mahogany combo, so the twist could be the hourglass NEX body. The NEX is a fair compromise: its pinched waist gives decent control, the bloated lower bout delivers plenty of mid-range 'boom', and the chunky neck bears out Takamine's claims that this axe would suit fingerpicking singer-songwriters.
Unplugged, there's nice jangle and a winning blend of both tonewoods. Plucked notes are given an underpinned warmth by the laminate mahogany, but the bite of the solid spruce top ensures open chords don't turn soupy. You should be able to protect that tone with a decent acoustic amp, but the TP4T preamp gives good scope to fatten lush chords or boost the treble for solos too.
Beneath the biker attitude, the EG481SCX is a grown-up and balanced electro. It hasn't got the world-class character that would see it on the rack at a top recording studio, but it's a tough, tone- packed workhorse that doesn't drop the ball in any department and gives you enough control over the amplified tone to ensure nobody will hate it.
Pros: Comfortable, tone, good EQ.
Cons: No world-class character.
Next: Tanglewood TW28 CE XFM
Tanglewood TW28 CE XFM £399
Charles Darwin's evolution theory claims that man is descended from monkeys. Whatever. We're more interested in Tanglewood's Evolution Series, which sets out to skim prices and maintain features for modern guitarists with opposable thumbs.
The TW28 is the most interesting, complementing its solid spruce top with a less humdrum maple body. The TW28 underlines the pros and cons of the dreadnought format, with a deep-pan 117mm body that can be overwhelming, and an effortless 'boom' and lengthy sustain that means you'll forgive it immediately.
Tonally, the maple makes a big, if potentially divisive impact; it brings glorious clarity to your performance and softens nicely with fingertips, but strummers might miss the mellow warmth of a mahogany or rosewood body, and playing with a pick does make things a little jarring.
We've no complaints with the piezo, but the Fishman ION-T preamp doesn't offer any meaningful EQ tweaking capability - you'll need a good acoustic amp to fatten the tone.
Many players will love the cut 'n' thrust of the maple-powered bite, particularly those sick of hearing their precise fretwork muffled by flabby acoustic tone. But the price you pay becomes apparent when you stop playing Nick Drake, strum some Jack Johnson, and are faced with a slightly abrasive tone. No complaints for £399, but it feels like a small step (not a giant leap) for mankind.
Pros: Distinctive looks and tone.
Cons: Hefty body, divisive sound.
Next: Freshman Apollo 3 DC
Freshman Apollo 3 DC £499
Freshman founder Sean Kelly makes a good case for the Apollo 3's price tag. "We don't allow second-best," says the Glaswegian luthier. "Everything is done under my design and I source the woods myself, haggling hard to get premium quality tonewoods… The top is solid AA-grade sitka selected spruce. There are a lot of guitars out there; we have to be better."
It's not the biggest name, nor much to look at, but the Apollo starts impressing from the moment you strum it unplugged. There's a gorgeous balance to the tone: a rolling, clear, characterful voice that you'd happily play without the embellishment of amp or effects, with spruce bite and organic mahogany warmth combining to remind you that this thing used to be a tree.
Alongside a manageable neck and effortless fingerboard, it's enough to make you forget about the pretty bulky body (and slightly untidy nut). The best news? Plugged in, it's exactly the same - only louder.
Freshman has a habit of building dark horses; the Apollo 3 turned up looking unassuming then proceeded to nail the raw sound we'd been hunting for and relay it through an amp. You could gripe over the extra £100 here, but it's a small price to pay for a great-handling, tone-packed guitar that will sustain you well into your career.
Pros: Lovely balanced tone, great feel.
Cons: Doesn't jump off the shelf.

My job as an abduction country officer in the Office of Children's Issues is rewarding and challenging. International Parental Child Abduction (IPCA) cases are usually complicated, often heartbreaking, but also gratifying. Much work is involved in ensuring the return of a child, which may even be through a voluntary resolution between the parents. This is a snapshot of my "average" day.
The mission of the Office of Children's Issues Abduction Division is to assist in the resolution of international parental child abduction cases. In many countries, the Hague Abduction Convention is the primary vehicle to do so. Our office serves as the United States Central Authority (USCA) under the Convention. In this role, we oversee the implementation of the Convention in the United States, and we connect individuals in other countries to various resources in the United States.
I handle cases of children who have been abducted from another country into the United States, and I work with the "left-behind parents" who reside in other countries. I hear many heartbreaking stories from parents about the reported abduction, but they all have one similarity: one parent -- the "taking parent" -- has reportedly left with the child and the parent calling me -- the "left-behind parent" -- wants the child returned. Not long ago, I received a call from a mother who was terrified that she would never see her two children again. The mother is a Mexican citizen and her children are dual citizens of the United States and Mexico, where they have lived their entire lives. She told me that the father went on vacation with the girls to the United States and never returned. I listened to her story and gathered the facts of the case to determine what assistance our office could provide. I explained to the mother the basics of the Convention and the steps in filing the Hague Convention application, which is a formal request for the children's return.
The mother submitted a Hague application alleging the abduction of her daughters by their father. Shortly thereafter, I learned that the father was living in the United States. I confirmed his address, determined that the children were attending school, and discovered that a custody petition was pending in a U.S. court. I immediately sent the court an Article 16 letter (the article in the Convention that requires a court to stay, or not decide, on custody until the Convention matter is resolved) to inform the judge that a Convention case was pending. After these matters were taken care of, I worked on the mother's legal assistance request, as our office maintains a list of volunteer attorneys who are willing to assist in these cases. Processing the mother's Hague Convention application, reviewing her paperwork, coordinating with the government of Mexico, confirming her children's location, forwarding the Article 16 letter to the judge, and submitting the file to the Legal Assistance Coordinator all took one day. In this case, we were lucky because we were able to locate the father and children very quickly. In other cases, it can take months and even years to confirm the location of a taking parent and child.
Let's fast forward to the next steps and end result of this case: I sent a letter notifying the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City about the hearing, and they adjudicated the visa application through normal procedures. The mother was granted a non-immigrant visa to travel to the United States to participate in the hearing, where the judge ordered the return of the children. The following day, the mother and children returned safely to Mexico.
This is just one example of the types of abduction cases my colleagues and I see every day. In this particular case, the process was efficient with very few obstacles. Unfortunately, no two international parental child abduction cases are alike. As abduction officers, we must be ready for any curve balls that might come our way and determine the best ways to facilitate the movement of a case as expeditiously as possible. Our job is not to advocate for the taking parent or the left-behind parent. Rather, our job is to ensure that for incoming cases, the Hague Convention works properly in the United States and for cases of children leaving the United States that our treaty partners abide by the Convention's principles.
In recognition of National Missing Children's Day on May 25, the Office of Children's Issues and U.S. embassies and consulates around the world will hold special programs and events to raise awareness about international parental child abduction. Visit travel.state.gov for more information about IPCA and available prevention measures.

Topic: Simple 'validates_uniquesness_of' failing - why?
I have a simple model with 2 string attributes. I want both of those attributes to be unique. I thought I specified the correct validation, but one of my unit tests passes and the other does not. I have been screwing around with this for way too long and would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks a lot!
Oh, and one other question: When I use YAML fixtures to populate a table the data remains in the table after the last test has run - which is what I expect. But I have some test programs that do not have a fixtures :my_table method in them; the methods themselves populate the table by creating and saving objects. When the tests are done I expect to see leftover data in the tables, but don't. Anyone know why? Thanks again.
Here is the bare-bones code illustrating my validates_uniqueness_of problem:
The Migration:
class CreateSchools < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :schools do |t|
t.column :name, :string
t.column :display, :string
def self.down
drop_table :schools
The Model:
class School < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :students
validates_presence_of :name, :display
validates_uniqueness_of :name, :display
(Some of the) Unit Tests:
class SchoolTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
# This test works as expected
def test_duplicate_name
school = School.new(:name => "Harvard")
assert school.save
school = School.new(:name => "Harvard")
assert !school.save
assert_equal ActiveRecord::Errors.default_error_messages[:taken], school.errors.on(:name)
# This test does not work - see comments in method
def test_duplicate_display
display = "Ivy League"
school = School.new(:name => "Harvard", :display => display)
assert school.save
school = School.new(:name => "Yale", :display => display)
# It seems like these (commented out) tests should pass, but they don't
#assert !school.save
#assert_equal ActiveRecord::Errors.default_error_messages[:taken], school.errors.on(:display)
# This test passes; seems you should not be allowed to save the duplicate-display record.
assert school.save

Asustek Computer plans to enable 1600MHz quad pumped processor system bus on its mainboards based on Intel X38 core-logic, whereas earlier it was rumoured that Intel only intends to enable such speed bin for Intel X48 platform. Given that the world's largest maker of mainboards would hardly compromise stability of its products, it is unclear why Intel preps two platforms with generally similar features.
Asustek's P5E, P5E3 Deluxe and Maximus Formula (Special Edition) motherboards, which are already listed at Asus' web-site, will support processors with 1600MHz processor system bus (PSB) officially, despite of the fact that Intel has not formally introduced or announced desktop central processing units with such PSB speed-bin. According to unofficial information, processors with 1600MHz bus will be supported by Intel's X48 core-logic due out early next year, though, it is uncertain whether enthusiasts bite it, provided that they have the same features on the Intel X38.
Besides officially supporting Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Extreme and other LG775 processors with up to 1600MHz PSB, Asus P5E and Asus P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n will also dual-channel feature DDR2 or DDR3 along with Asustek's proprietary technologies that boost functionality and performance of motherboards.
Intel X38 chipset will bring the technological "creams" of 2007. It will support dual-channel PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) with Intel Fast Memory access, PCI Express 2.0 bus with multi-GPU technology capability and some other performance improvements, such as flexible overclocking capabilities and extreme memory profiles (XMP) technology. The X48 chipset reportedly due in early 2008 will add support for 1600MHz PSB along with PC3-12800 (DDR3 1600MHz).
Though, given that Intel has not introduced the X48, it may also feature certain additional technologies that will create more selling points to the updated platform for extreme desktops for overclockers. For example, the new platform could bring-in multi-GPU or multi-CPU capability. Currently Intel's chipsets only support ATI CrossFire multi-GPU technology, whereas Nvidia SLI tech is only supported by Intel's Skulltrail platform as well as Nvidia's proprietary platforms.

Working on a remote team to complete a project is now the norm rather than the exception. In this article in Designing Sound contributed by Michael Schiciano of Skitch Studio, he shares his insights into working collaboratively and how to avoid some of the logistical challenges that can crop up.
Points covered in the article include:
- Establishing the Vision and Scope of the Project; Whenever I had issues coming up with ideas in the middle of a project, a very likely culprit was simply not doing enough communication early enough in the project.
- Detours and Changes; Sometimes these are messaged down from a client. Other times they are discovered as part of the work itself.
- Getting the Names Right; Another area you'll want to make sure gets addressed during the middle of a production are the simpler, smaller details of effective naming conventions.
- Making the Delivery; The final stages of a project will bring forth another wave of heavy communication, most notably focusing on the details of the submission process.
If you have collaborated on a project remotely, what did you learn in the process?

Bob,I would characterize the dough formulations as American style but with NY style crust thickness.Peter
Thanks Peter..I noticed sb's .08 TF and is why I asked what he is trying to achive.It's no secret that you have great experience with developing successful American style pizza doughs..during all of your trials did you ever attempt a minimal TF with your American doughs. I've often wonder how something such as this might turn out.Does sb have too much sugar for his extended scenario(4 1/2 days) ?
Thanks Peter, will do.I may cut back on the temp a bit, maybe 450-475.
It depends on what you're after but I can confirm with first hand experience that the pie will start to burn as soon as 4 minutes at 550*. As Peter says, the sugar will likely accelerate that effect.I turned my oven down to 440* last night and achieved a 7 minute bake (using the broiler for top color for the last 3 minutes). I'm more fond of the 7 minute pie than the 4 minute since that's what I grew up on, plus no burning or high-contrast of the undercrust. Very happy with it.
scott123 may better advise you on this, but if you are using 6% sugar and a steel plate at 550 degrees F, there is a likelihood that you will experience a lot of bottom crust browning and maybe even burning

NYPA to Begin Equipment Tests at New Power Plant in Queens
September 7, 2005
QUEENS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) will begin testing key generating equipment Thursday at a new natural gas-fueled power plant it is completing in Astoria.
The tests will commence on one of the project's two gas turbines, which will produce small amounts of power as the unit is fired up. Tests on the second turbine are expected late next week, to be followed by those on other major equipment in subsequent weeks.
The 500-megawatt plant will be one of the cleanest, most efficient generating facilities in New York City, equipped with the most advanced emission controls. Its commercial operation, expected toward the end of the year, will enhance air quality by displacing generation from older power plants.
The new project is designed to capture the heat normally lost during combustion, to produce additional amounts of electricity from its fuel. This will be made possible through a combined-cycle process involving two heat-recovery steam generators and a steam turbine, in addition to the two gas turbines.
The Power Authority built the combined-cycle plant to help it continue to meet the electricity requirements of its large government customers in New York City, including schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and the subways and commuter trains. They save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lower energy costs as NYPA customers.
NYPA is the nation's largest state-owned public power utility, with a total of 17 generating facilities and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines.

Screaming at high school rally would reach more people than what Twitter sports rants draw
Even if we don't know their real names, we definitely know the people who take to Twitter to vent their particular brand of rage against an athlete or team. We know them because we've caught their act for years, just on other stages. These are the fans who are screaming in the stands behind us, or ranting and raving in their kitchen or over the back fence, or occasionally sneaking through a screener on a sports call-in radio show before a producer is able to cut them off.
Today, they probably still use some of their old material in those old-school ways, but they also have discovered another wonderful tool to funnel their anger at those in the public eye who would dare to disappoint them. They have their precious Twitter account, with all the power, real or make-believe, that it gives them.
This has been a particularly savage sports week on Twitter, and that's saying something, because almost every week brings the dregs of our sports society out of the woodwork to pontificate online.
The faltering Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals were among the early targets of the vicious Twitterati as the week began. The New York Knicks soon followed, as did 18-year-old Canadian high school basketball sensation Andrew Wiggins, who on Tuesday picked Kansas over Florida State, Kentucky and North Carolina.
MORE: Wiggins picks Kansas
ANALYSIS: What Wiggins means for Kansas
This decision of course did not please fanatics who follow those other three schools, so they did what any red-blooded, hot-headed sports fan does these days and jumped on Twitter to call a high school senior every awful name and slur imaginable. Internet stories then were written quoting some of the most egregious comments, thereby giving those who tweeted them a great victory: mainstream media validation.
It is at this point in the story where you would figure we all should throw up our hands and talk about how the civilized sports world as we know it is coming to an end and how any semblance of intelligent discourse about sports is over.
But let's look a little deeper into several of the particularly awful tweets about Wiggins. I'm not going to name the accounts they came from, and no family newspaper would ever quote the words they used, but there is other information we can use to judge their impact, their reach and their so-called clout.
One fan who attacked Wiggins on Twitter had 183 followers. Another had 222. Three others had 296, 394 and 525 followers, respectively.
That doesn't mean that exactly that many people read each particular tweet. More might have seen the comments if they were re-tweeted or after a search for what was being said about Wiggins' decision, but it's also true that not every follower of each account saw each tweet, Twitter being a river that just keeps flowing along.
So, to put things into perspective, these so-called worldwide social commentators would have reached more people if they had stood up at a high school assembly and just started screaming.
"What amazes me is how much attention the professional journalistic establishment pays to a lot of this stuff," said Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University. "In the old days, if I had been really mad about something, and typed up my manifesto and Xeroxed it and sent it to the local newspapers and radio stations, they'd have thrown it away. ... Twitter is being covered now as though it's the most important thing in the world. We used to complain about sound bites. 'You reduce everything to a sound bite. Why can't you make things more complex?' Well, Twitter by definition makes a sound bite sound like a well-thought-out, reasoned argument."
To many of us, Twitter is a wonderful, lightning quick conduit for news and information from reliable sources. That's obviously not the Twitter we're discussing in a sports context this week.
"When you open up a communications system (for) practically everybody, there is absolutely no way that some percentage ... is not going to say really mean things and attack," Thompson said. "But we're not talking about 5% or 10% or 30% of the population saying horrible things about athletes. We're talking about a pretty small percentage."
Twitter should be treated as the fleeting entity it is, where attacks come and go so quickly they almost demand to be ignored, especially by 18-year-old athletes making up their minds about where they want to go to college.
"Because you hear something is trending on Twitter, you get a sense that's what everybody's thinking," Thompson said. "It isn't what everybody's thinking. It's what people who are tweeting are thinking. That isn't everybody."

Funny stuff. The first two bits get a bit old around the fourth repeat or so, but still enough good gags to keep it going.
i think the only gratuitous scene was the koala bear. also is it me or did this script have a certain mercury award winning radio spot feel to it?
The repetition is a bit much but love the overall idea. (the repetition makes me think of the 12 days of christmas song).

Roasted Chicken Breast with Marmalade
- 5 airline chicken breasts, skin on
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 12 to 16 ounces Orange Marmalade, recipe follows
- Wilted romaine, recipe follows
- Homemade Quick Orange Marmalade:
- 5 oranges or tangerines, washed and dried
- 1/2 cup honey
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Wilted romaine:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 5 heads romaine, washed and dried, leaves picked
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large saute pan over high heat, add the oil. Once heated, place the chicken into the pan. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and place another heavy pan on top. Cook the chicken until the skin is golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes, and then flip and cook until cooked through, about 5 to 8 more minutes. Serve with the marmalade and wilted romaine.
Place the oranges on a flat surface and slice a few thin rounds from both ends. Avoid the center part because that's where a large concentration of the pits are.
Measure the honey directly into a medium skillet over low heat until it melts. Add the oranges rounds and bring the mix to a boil. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, to taste. Add the juice of the lemon and the vanilla. Stir to blend. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and then transfer to a bowl to cool.
Yield: 1/2 cup
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ease of preparation: Easy
In a large skillet, heat the butter and add the garlic over medium heat. Cook until fragrant and add the romaine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a wooden spoon and stir to blend for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and drain any liquid remaining. Add a few squirts of lemon juice and serve with chicken.

"I never dreamed about success. I worked for it. "
Preowned: Shopping in a tight market
With demand high for late-model jets, bargain hunters may start looking more at older aircraft.
When you're evaluating the state of the used-aircraft market, you need to look at more than the percentage of the worldwide fleet that's currently for sale. You have to investigate availability in a variety of geographical areas and model-year ranges.
Consider that only 8.1 percent of the nearly 11,000 airplanes manufactured since the beginning of 2000 are now for sale. Meanwhile, the percentage of older aircraft on the market is about twice as high. A disparity also exists between the two areas of the world with the largest late-model business jet population. North America has a tight supply of airplanes manufactured since the beginning of 2000, with only 6.5 percent for sale, but Europe's market still languishes with twice that figure available.
The spread between North America and Europe has remained fairly consistent over the last couple of years, but may be in for a change as the European Central Bank contemplates something similar to the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing. While one may question the wisdom of these types of programs, it's a fact that fewer aircraft are for sale today than before the U.S. initiated its current monetary policy.
The continued short supply of late-model jets should spur new-aircraft sales but may also cause preowned-jet buyers to look more at older airplanes. While popular 2000-and-newer aircraft like the Falcon 2000EXy and Challenger move at a rate of about one a month, pre-2000 models currently often sell at a one-per-quarter rate, despite seven-figure price drops in some cases.
We're still witnessing the upbeat buyer activity that descended on the market in the fourth quarter of last year. In fact, inventory is now at its lowest point since the fall of 2008 and is noticeably below its 12-month moving average. This is likely one reason we are starting to see values stabilize across many model segments.

Don't keep blaming nurse education …..
- Correspondence to Alison Twycross Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, Kingston University and St George's, University of London, 2nd Floor Grosvenor Wing, Cranmer Terrace, London, SW17 0RE, UK; A.Twycross{at}sgul.kingston.ac.uk
There are several issues that really irritate me. One is when statistics are presented on the national Ten O'clock News along with a statement such as the number of violent crimes has increased dramatically in the last year without statistical data to evidence the claim. As Dorothy Forbes outlines in the Research Made Simple paper in this edition it is important to explore the statistical probability or p values of data to ensure that findings have not occurred by chance.
Another concern is that when a report on substandard nursing care is published, nurse education always seems to be blamed for being too academic and not linking theory to practice sufficiently. I am not saying that education does not have a …

Amish Life Endures
To The Reader's Forum:
I have to agree with the lady who wrote concerning the Amish amongst us when you see an Amishman driving his buggy down the road. You are looking at living history. these people have been living the simple life for two hundred years. They are quiet but friendly, the kind of people anyone would want for a neighbor. They can also be very helpful at times.
They ask for nothing, but have been known to give a lot. The best thing you can do for an Amishman is to allow him his solitude.
This country is going through hard times right now. No jobs, 50% on the government dole, but the Amishman plods along. While we in he community are going broke, suffering losses, etc., the Amishman left to his devices will survive.
When things get better you'll see the same Amishman driving his horse and buggy down the road, no worse for wear, like nothing ever happened.

I could make a list of Free Agent signings with their number of years and dollars if you would like. Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Darko, and Travis Outlaw might have you thinking differently.
Not worth it. The bottom line is that Superstar Free Agents will not sign here, and even if we draft a Superstar, Free Agents will assume that said Superstar will bolt when he gets the chance. With or without a Superstar, Free Agency will only bring in role players. Drafting is a shot in the dark, but it's still a better option than Free Agency.
The only way to bring in big-name talent to a market like Cleveland is to trade for it, like the past regime did/tried to do. Which is basically renting a player until their contract expires.
While the players are running the league and conspiring to form their own Super Teams in the big media markets, in the NBA of 2010, there is NO recourse (not draft, not free agency, not trades) for smaller market teams that will enable them to build Championship quality rosters. Being Utah Jazzes is all they can realistically hope for.
