Such a great crowd tonight.
Man, Audra McDonaldon the show tonight.
I'm very excited about that.
-(cheering, applause)-Mm. Mm.
So talented.
One of the mosttalented people... ever.
(chuckles):It's true.
Oh. By the way, first off,
um, I want to show yousomething remarkable.
A rare momentof unanimous bipartisanship
in the U.S. Senate.
NEWSWOMAN: The senate unanimously passed a measure
removing offensive terms
such as "oriental" from federal law.
-WOMAN: What?-(laughter, whooping)
That term is still usedin federal law?!
Oh, my G...Well, I mean, I can see
why that wasa unanimous decision.
-(bugle playing Taps)-Uh... Oh.
-(continues playing Taps)-(laughter)
Oh, my God.
All right, guys...
Hey, guys, what's up?What are you doing?
We lost another one.We're here to pay our respects.
-WILMORE: Oh.-Damn PC police!
We can't have any fun anymore.
So, Larry, if you don't mind,we'd like to retire this word
by hoisting it upinto the rafters.
It served us wellfor a long time.
-(playing Taps)-(applause)
So long, "Oriental."
WILMORE:Pretty good.
By the way, Lar, thanksfor bringing the N-word back
-for us to use. -Oh, yeah.-No, no, no, no, no.
-Yeah! -I did no such th...Get out of here!
Get out of here, you guys.Go! Get, get!
Bringing back...I didn't bring that back.
-(applause, whooping)-(mumbles)
I had, uh... I had no ideawe can't use "toots" anymore.
-I did not know that.-(laughter)
(laughing):I'm gonna have to stop using it.
All right, moving onto our top story,
Societal malignant tumorGeorge Zimmerman.
George Zimmermanis selling the gun he used
to kill unarmed teenagerTrayvon Martin,
placing it up for auctiononline today.
This is America, everybody.
Um... I'm justgonna give everyone
a home minuteto pick up any items
you may have just thrownat your television set.
-(laughter)-Mmm... Pick it up.
Okay, who woke up this rottingpiece of human excrement?
And... and better yet,why is he doing this?
NEWSMAN: Zimmerman says he doesn't feel comfortable
simply locking it away.
I would feel very comfortablesimply locking you away.
(laughter, whooping, applause)
It would make mevery comfortable.
You don't haveto lock it away--
you can just throw itin the trash.
You know, trash?That thing that you are
and always will be?
-(whooping, applause)-Right?
All right. What else didthis bloated tank gristle
have to say for himself?
NEWSWOMAN: Speaking on the phone,
he was unapologetic about the sale.
Yeah, so why don't you take yourpossessions and shoot yourself?
-(applause)-Just do it.
Okay, guys, and in caseyou weren't disgusted enough,
let's take a lookat the original ad
he posted for the gun.
Check outthe "Item Condition-- Used."
-(audience groans)-Okay?
Now, America...
I need to ask youa serious question.
What the entire (bleep)?
I mean, and by "used,"he means the firearm
"was used to defend my life
"and end the brutal attackfrom Trayvon Martin.
"It has recentlybeen returned to me
by the Department of Justice."
And then he says...
Okay, first of all,"B. Hussein Obama."
I love how racistscan work in a Muslim slam
into any unrelatedconversation, right?
He really killed two birdswith that racist stone.
Of course, then he also claimedthe birds were attacking him.
But reason has no placein this ad.
Zimmerman even claimsthe gun is a hot item
on the museum circuit.
He says...
Okay, first of all,
please do not castMichael B. Jordan
for this Night at the Museum movie.
Please do not do that.
Way too dangerous.
And incidentally, George,
the Smithsonian denies anyinterest, you stupid (bleep).
-(laughter, applause, whooping)-All right?
They're not interested in that.
Okay, now,it looks like the auction site
has been taken down,so, yay, America...
But here's whythis gets me so angry.
Every time George Zimmermanis a trending topic on Twitter,
every time his namepops up on the news,
every time he takes up anyreal estate in my brain at all,
it's a reminderthat he's a free man
who can dowhatever dumb (bleep) he wants
while Trayvon Martindoesn't get to grow up.
-So tonight...-(applause)
So tonight I'm thinkingabout you, Trayvon,
and not that assholethat killed you, all right?
And, George Zimmerman,you can go to Hell.
-(whooping, applause)-Go to Hell.
Oh. And actually...actually...
on that subject,let's go live to Hell
to see how this newsis now being perceived.
(cheering, applause)
All right.
Thanks, uh...thanks for joining us, Satan.
That's very nice of you.
Thanks for having me, Toots.(chuckles)
-Toots? -No PC policedown here, pal, right?
-Oh. -By the way, loved youat the Correspondents' Dinner.
-Oh, oh, um...-Loved it. Yeah.
-Thanks, I guess. Um...-Just real edgy stuff.
All right, so, so, now,what's the reaction
to this Zimmerman story been,like, down there in Hell?
All right, man,I'm just blown away.
You know, I mean,look, seriously,
when it comes to evil,like, I'm kind of the guy.
You know what I mean?I mean, I've brought hellfire
and brimstone, basically,since the dawn of time, Larry.
But I look at this Zimmerman guyand I'm like, man,
this mother (bleep) pure evil,you know what I mean?
Like... not gonna lie,
a little worried about my jobright now, you know?
-Really? -You know how thoseLatinos like to steal jobs.
-Well... -Build a fence,that's what I say.
Well, I know, but... I-I thoughtbeing the Prince of Darkness,
-you would love this story,right? -Oh, love it?
No, it's a nightmare, man.
I don't even have a placedown here that's dark enough
for this soulless, bloatedgenital wart, swear to you.
-Nothing here. No room.-I don't understand.
You don't have a place?I don't know what you mean.
-What do you mean?-Ain't nobody down here
is willing to bunkwith this monster.
I'm not... look...Am I right, Idi?
-Come out here. Idi Amin!-Oh, oh, Devil, listen to me.
I don't even wantthis hairy bag of (bleep) stink
-eating in the cafeteriawith me! -True.
-Do you understand?-Oh, my God.
-Not even eating with me.-Wait, is that Idi Amin?
-Yes.-Okay, okay, two questions.
First, you havea cafeteria in hell?
Yeah, it's crap, it's crap.But, hey, listen,
we are getting a Subwaywhen Jared comes down here.
-True. -Okay.-It's coming, it's coming.
-Five dollar footlongs. -It'scoming, I can't wait. -Okay.
-I cannot wait. -Five dollarfootlongs! (whoops) -All right.
Second question,second question.
So, Zimmermanis too much for you-- Idi Amin?
Look, look, Larry,look, look-- sure, sure,
I killed and I atemy political enemies.
-Yes, he did.-I did this. I did it.
-Right.-I did it. Am I proud?
-I-I don't know, sometimes.-Little bit. Little proud.
Okay, but I didn't go off andtry to auction my knife and fork
as souvenirs, okay?That is just wrong, Larry.
-(bleep) up. -That is wrong.(bleep) that guy.
-(bleep) that guy, Larry.(bleep) him. -You're right.
-(bleep) him. Yes, he's (bleep)up. -That is right.
Oh, by the way, great jobat the correspondents' dinner.
-Oh, oh, thank you. Very nice.-It was amazing. I loved it.
-I loved it. It was good, it wasgood. -Killed it. -Thanks.
He killed it,you really did. Edgy.
-By the way, Larry...-Yes?
It ain't just me and my boy Idiwho are creeped out
-by this (bleep) whack job,all right? -No.
Hey, uh, break it down for him,Adolf. Get out here.
-There he is.-Hey, hey, my boy. My boy.
Hold for applause.
George Zimmerman is a fat tubof rancid goat (bleep).
Reasonable people like us canagree on this, nein?
-Yeah, I think you can.-Uh...
I would say I'd rather notagree with you on anything.
Look, I've done some bad stuff.
And even some stuffyou don't know about.
I invented Crocs.
-Yes, he did.-Yeah, he did.
You invented Crocs?
-I told you, I'm evil.-Okay.
But I will nothave the Hitler name
associated withGeorge Zimmerman.
By the way, loved youat the correspondents' dinner.
-Okay, thank you, thank you. -Itwas very good. -Yes, great job.
-We were just telling him.-It was good, it was good.
-We told him this. -Look, Larry,we don't have all night.
We g... You know,evil doesn't rest, all right?
We got to get back to work
overturningTom Brady's suspension.
-Yeah, man. -Let's go Patriots!-Go Patriots!
-Hell's team, baby! -Belichickrules! -Okay, I figured that,
-I figured that.We'll be right back. -Belichick!
-♪ -Belichick!-(cheering, applause)
All right, welcome back.
Okay, guys,it's time to check in
on what's happeningwith The Unblackening.
My favorite song.(hums a tune)
So, Bernie Sandersis having a bittersweet week.
Though he won West Virginia,
Hillary still wound up withhalf of the state's delegates.
Yet according to this interviewwith MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell,
Bernie isn't backing down.
We have a shot.It is a steep hill to climb,
but we're gonna fightfor every last vote.
So please do not moan to me
about Hillary Clinton'sproblems.
-Um...-(cheering, applause)
Bernie, I don't knowif you get to control
Andrea Mitchell's moaning. Uh...
There's only one manwho can do that
and it's her sex god husbandAlan Greenspan.
Just saying. Just a point.
Still, Hillary wasn't the onlypresumptive nominee
to benefit from Bernie's win.
The exit poll datafrom West Virginia which shows
that 34%--34% of the Sanders' voters
said that they wouldvote for Donald Trump
in a Trump-Sanders matchup.
A third of Bernie voterswere just Trump supporters
with nothing better to do?
Is West Virginia that boring?
Surely there's some gargantuanball of twine
or mouse-themedcarnival pizzeria
that's more fun than (bleep) upthis election, you guys.
All right, here with howthe Clinton camp
is handling these Sandersvictories
is Clinton campaign aideCarlos Jordanson.
-(cheering, applause)-Hey, how you doing, Larry?
Hey, Carlos.Okay, so, Carlos, tell me,
So, what's the feeling amongstthe Clinton campaign right now?
Well, this whole thing is reallyan inspiring underdog story.
Oh, wow, so-so eventhe Hillary camp
can't help but get, uh, swept upin the Bernie story, huh?
Uh, no, no, no, no,Hillary Clinton is the underdog.
-What? -Yeah. A small-town girlfrom Illinois, Arkansas
and New York City. Yeah.Trying to win the presidency.
It's-it's a storystraight out of Hollywood.
One of those classic richesto more riches stories.
Um, I-I think you meanrags to riches, right?
Uh, gross.(chuckles)
Hillary may have been on theboard of directors at Walmart,
but that's as closeas she gets to rags.
Okay, all right.Okay, fine, but come on,
Hillary... Hillary's nota Hollywood underdog. Come on.
Uh, considering how much moneywe get from Hollywood,
I think we're the onesto make that determination.
-Okay. -But you're right,she's not an underdog.
-Thank you.-No, technically,
she's an "underdog" underdog.
Hillary is losingprimary after primary,
and yet she's stillout there plugging away
like goddamn Seabiscuit.
Is she gonna win this race?I don't know. (exclaims)
It's such a nail-biter.(exclaims)
I don't know, man--you know she's gonna win.
I can tell.
I don't know, you know?Bernie looks so strong.
Stay in there, Bernard.Ooh! (laughs)
Wait, hold on--you want Bernie to stay in?
His victoriesenable our victory.
It's like the giftthat keeps taking, you know?
Like, think of it asthe tortoise and the hare.
The tortoise crossesthe finish line first,
but then the hare'sdeclared the winner
because she's got friendson Wall Street.
That's awful.
Yeah, hey, blame that broke-ass,stupid-ass tortoise.
-All right, Car... I don't knowwhat it means, either. -Sorry.
Carlos Jordanson, everybody.We'll be right back.
-♪ -(cheering, applause)
Welcome back.I'm here with my panel.
First up, Nightly Show Contributor Jordan Carlos.
-(cheering and applause)-Yeah.
And Nightly Show ContributorRobin Thede.
-(cheering and applause)-Wow.
And she's currently starringin the Broadway musical
Shuffle Along, Tony,Grammy, Emmy Award winner,
Audra McDonald, you guys.
-(cheering and applause)-Yeah.
And for everyone at home,join our conversation right now
on Twitter, @NightlyShow,using the hashtag, #Tonightly.
-Man, I love this crowd.-Yes! -Yeah. It's a good crowd.
Okay. So, we talked about this,uh, monster earlier in the show.
Uh, this morning, acquittedmurderer, uh, George Zimmerman
put the gun he used to killTrayvon Martin up for sale.
Then the gun auction wasactually taken down, I think,
after a few hours. Okay, sowhat's the most offensive part
of this, the selling of it
or the people who actually wantto buy it?
Yeah. Listen... Sorry,
I-I have been lividabout this all day.
(stammers) To me,if you have to choose one,
it's the peoplewho want to buy it.
George Zimmerman is a murderer.
I expect himto do terrible things.
But people who actually wantto own this?
Like, what... I don't...I don't understand that at all.
-I'm not absolving GeorgeZimmerman. -Yeah, I-I think,
actually... I-I think I findGeorge Zimmerman more disgusting
in this case, because I couldsee how someone would have
some weird sort of fetishwanting to buy it and then ma...
I mean, for me, it was like,could something good come
of this? Yeah.Someone could buy that gun
and then either melt it downor then...
or then use it to, like,I don't know, raise money
and awarenessfor something else.
-Oh, in a good way. -You know,something good could come of it
-in that... in that respect.-Or-or choke him with it.
I... You know, it's funny,because I don't ever wish...
-I don't ever wish deathon anyone. -I do.
Well... I've been thinkingabout... I've been thinking
-about what I would wish onGeorge Zimmerman, -Yes. -Yeah.
and my wish is that he ends upin, like, the most dangerous
women's prison in America.
(cheering and applause)
That's where I want himto end up.
-The most dangerous women's...-Women's prison.
-No, 'cause they will tear himlimb from limb. -Yes. Good.
-That's what I want. -Well,because he beats women also.
-So... Yeah. Yeah. -That's whyI want him in a women's prison.
-Exactly.-How is this guy walking around?
-I mean, how can the policejustify giving -It's phenomenal.
any kind of weaponto this person?
Well, uh, Florida,
-I think, is probably the answerto your question. -Yeah.
I mean, Florida is...I mean, it's the only state
that Texas, where I'm from,we look down on.
You know? Like, "At leastwe're not Florida! Geez!"
You know? But, yeah, that's...I mean, that's the problem,
the corruption and-and, youknow, you get... you get, uh,
-a situation like this.-Do you think this has to do...
Who said "fetish"? Do you thinkthis has to do with our fetish
-for guns in America? -Well,I mean... Yeah, I think...
Yeah, there's obviouslya fascination in this country
with guns, but I think alsothere is a-a, you know...
a-a fetish for, you know, thingslike the fact that you have
women that will sort of writeto-to people in jail and say
"I want to marry you"or you have people who-who want
to buy strange, like...Supposedly there's some, uh,
-auc-auction for CharlesManson's hair. -Yeah. Oh, yeah.
-Oh, my God. -Yes. -There'sactually a s... a site called
-Murderabilia. This is true.-Oh, there it is. Unbelievable.
Where people want...Okay, seriously, people?
-No. -It's pretty... it's prettyboyish. It's pretty lux...
Well, the thing is... Youreally want that greasy hair?
-I mean, I get it. I mean...-No, but-but recently Manson,
right, he was gonna get marriedand then, like, he was like,
"I don't know. She'sa little too crazy for me."
-Like, he backed off.-That's an indictment.
-He backed off.He, like, totally... -Oh, man.
-he totally ghosted her.-Is there, like, a special
-murderer Tinder or something?Like... -Yeah. Yeah.
Well, you know, and I think ithas less to do with our fetish,
uh, in this case, with our...less to do with our fetish
for guns and more to do withthe disregard of black lives.
Because what's happening here--and follow me--
-no one's buying the guns thatwere used in Columbine. -Mm-hmm.
-Yeah. -You know why? Becauseit's a horrible thing to do.
But the difference betweenthat case and the difference
-between this caseis a black life. -Yeah.
And he was a teenage child andhe did not deserve what he got,
-and it's just appalling.It's appalling. -It is true.
Because there's th...there's this kind of ambiguity.
They're like,"Was Trayvon Martin a-a kid?
Was he a-a man?" He was17 years old. He was a child.
That's what I'm saying.But-but in Columbine
and-and in Sandy Hook, we'resure that they were children
and things like that. I thinkthat that kind of, like, benefit
of the doubt was givento George Zimmerman, whereas...
-And I'm saying in this case.-Yeah. Although no one
-actually bought the gun,you know. So... -Yeah.
-I bet somebody would have.-Well, they took it down.
-Somebody would have.-But I have to say, for me,
I-I also feel so badlyfor Trayvon Martin's family,
-'cause every single timethis-this sort of.. -Yes.
-Can I say a bad word?This (bleep) stain -Yes!
-comes back up-- excuse me---Ah! -Yes!
-every time he does,every time he does -Absolutely.
and he tries to gain notorietyfrom this horrible thing
that he did, they have to reliveover and over and over again.
And why isn't Trayvon Martintrending?
-Why is it alwaysGeorge Zimmerman? -Thank you.
-Why is it alwaysGeorge Zimmerman? -Wow. -Yes.
You know? It's just disgusting.
-(applause)-Yeah. -By the way...
I love it. But I would just add,in the audience,
that people were emotinglike we're in black church.
-It was very beautiful.-THEDE: Yes. Thank you.
They're like, "Yas, queen! Yas!"
-(laughter)-"Say it!
-Preach (bleep)! Do that(bleep)." -(applause & cheering)
You know why? 'Causethey're sick of this, too!
-Yes. -WILMORE: Yes.-McDONALD: Yes. Sick.
-It's like this man keepspopping up. -Yeah. -Yeah.
And the people that support him,I do not understand.
-Yeah. -WILMORE:I don't understand it at all.
And they wantto say it's about gun control...
-WILMORE: Right. -...andtheir right to bear arms.
-No, it's not. No, it's not!-No.
-It is about racism!-CARLOS: Yeah. -(applause)
Pure and simple! It is!
-McDONALD: Yeah. I tell youwhat. I tell you what.
-THEDE: Ugh!-I know this much.
-I know this much.-WILMORE: Mm-hmm.
-That if Trayvon had beena white child... -THEDE: Yes.
...and George Zimmermanhad been a black man...
-THEDE: Come on.-CARLOS: Mm.
...and even if he had...even if he had ended up
being acquitted withthe stand-your-ground law...
-WILMORE: Mm-hmm.-CARLOS: Yeah.
...they would neverin a million years
have given him back the gun.
-Never in a million years.-THEDE: No. No.
Never in a million years wouldGeorge Zimmerman have that back.
-Yeah. -No. -Never in a millionyears. -(applause)
-(Wilmore groans, Carlos whoops)-We're just...
I don't understand why thiswasn't punished as a hate crime.
-Yeah.-Oh. Yeah.
I mean, I don't understandwhy this wasn't...
WILMORE: Well, it wasn'tpunished as a crime at all.
Well, right,because he was protected
under stand-your-ground,
but does Florida not have hatecrime laws? I don't understand.
CARLOS:Again, guys, it's Florida.
I mean, Florida,you can ride manatees, you guys.
-You can ride manateesin Florida. -Oh, God.
Yeah, it's true,and by the way, when you...
Isn't there a shark that canattack him or something?
-No, no, no, no, no. -Isn't thatwhat happens in Florida?
But when you enter Florida.
Women's prison, I'm telling you.
...it says, "Welcome to Florida.All bets are off."
-It says that.-(laughter and groaning)
"Abandon all hope." Like...
-Can I read you something?-Yes, go for it.
-I have something in my bra.-Oh. Oh. -What is the...?
-Um...-Uh-oh. Robin... -CARLOS: What?!
Thede's bringing something outfrom the bra, yeah.
I'm sorry.This just made me so mad today!
Okay, in the ad that he putonline... -Sure. -Mm-hmm.
...he said, "Offers to purchasethe firearm have been received.
"However, the offers wereto use the gun in a fashion
-I did not feel comfortablewith." -MAN: What?
-What? Exactly. So, so...-CARLOS: Yeah, yeah.
The fashion he's comfortablewith is shooting people!
-Is killing people! Thank you!-WILMORE: Yes. Ugh!
-What?! -McDONALD: Becausesomeone wanted to use it
to what, go to a turkey shoot?I don't...
No. No. You knowwhat it probably was?
To use it the way you said.To melt it down...
-WILMORE: Yeah.-McDONALD: Yeah. Or... Yeah.
...and to use it to provideassistance for Trayvon's family.
Yeah. I have to say, I didn'teven like the fact that one
of his excuses of saying, "Well,you know, look, even people...
even museums want this piece."
-WILMORE: Right. Mm-hmm.-THEDE: Oh, please. (Bleep).
But, yeah, I'll tell you what.
-WILMORE: Yeah. -Museums alsohave huge exhibitions
for things like all the horriblethings that Hitler did.
-THEDE: Yeah. Yes!-CARLOS: Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
And these are all the toolshe used or whatever.
-WILMORE: Right.-So I think he was thinking
that he was gonna be somegorgeous museum piece
where he's, you know,floating with the angels
-beside him and all that.-There is a place... Yeah.
-Right. -There is a placefor infamy certainly...
-Absolutely. -...in those typesof institutions.
I mean, certainly, you know,with people like Oswald
-who shot Kennedy...-Yeah, sure. -CARLOS: Mm.
-That rifle has a place.A place of infamy. -Yeah.
But this type of infamy-- I wantit expunged from our memory.
-CARLOS: Absolutely. -THEDE:Yes. -At least this guy.
-McDONALD: Yeah. THEDE: Yeah.-(applause)
The thing now... I don't wantto see this guy ever again.
-I just want him gone, you know.-McDONALD: Yeah. -THEDE: Yeah.
Yeah, it's not even likehe's leading some movement.
-Exactly. -He's not evenas powerful as the KKK.
He's just an asshole.
WILMORE: He's not even reallya guns advocate.
-No, he's not.-He's an asshole advocate.
-That's right. That's right.-WILMORE: Yeah. Yeah.
CARLOS: He's an asshole rightsadvocate. It's true. -Yes.

Lockwood's deep timbre and lustrous tone complement the leader's guitar throughout the session. His lyrical solos would turn heads in a live performance, because he speaks out with such passion and understanding. Amplified guitar and amplified double bass give the program a smooth texture. Israel's underlying rhythms achieve the same purpose as his partners: to complement each other with like-minded activity. The drummer's extended solo on "Poinciana" puts the listener on the edge of his seat: the result of its range of dynamics and depth of textures.
Stein's spontaneity and Lockwood's far-reaching tangents carry the session higher and higher. The album's got to turn out as one of the year's best. The trio's combination of superb musicianship and heartfelt passion are precisely what is needed to succeed. Just what the doctor ordered, a few times around the block with Interplay will brighten even the darkest day.
Track Listing: Eleanor
Personnel: John Stein- guitar; John Lockwood- bass; Yoron Isreal- drums.

text: I was intrigued by the originals thread and I was tempted to bring it up there, but I think this is actually another topic: Do you think that, by way of "edits" or even faithfulness to direct inspiration that God deliberately inspired some scripture to be obtuse? Is it no accident that we quarrel over topics like election/free-will and both sides believe they have scriptural support? I'm hoping others will chime in, but my answer would be "yes". I suspect someone will quote 1 Corinthians 14:33, For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.. However, "the author of" is interpreted into the text. It really says God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace. The rest of the verse may mean "as should be reflected in all the churches of the saints" (oops, where does that fit with all the disputes about election or the rapture, etc?). In contrast, we have the parables, which deliberately masked the message to a portion of the audience. And we have the example where Jesus deliberately offended some of His audience about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. I think it's obvious He meant to offend some people by making it sound literal. But does that extend to disputable matters of today (and I guess all of church history)? In other words, are many of our disputes grounded in the fact that, for whatever reason we may not understand, God intended these topics of debate to be obtuse, and directed the inspiration of scripture accordingly?

Bwog's Debate Live-Blog
Written by Bwog Staff
September 26, 20086:00 pm 38 Comments
Bwog's White House Bureau Chief James Downie live-blogs the presidential debate.
For those of you who want to watch the debate with your fellow Columbia students, the Dems, Repubs, and CPU are hosting a watch party in Tasti Lounge at 9 p.m.
10:37: The debate comes to an end. Overall, it's probably a missed opportunity for McCain: the unique circumstances of this debate have made him only stay about even with Obama, and this was supposed to be his best chance to score a knockout blow. Also, it was a much smarter debate than in recent campaigns, with much of the night focused on policy, even if it wasn't the current crisis.
10:35: McCain says Obama's not ready for the presidency, also claims he'll "love veterans and take care of them." Obama closes by evoking his father's admiration of America, and contrasting that with the current foreign views of America. He says "we need to send a message to the world" to change perceptions.
10:33: After McCain declares America much safer since 9-11, and Obama focuses on nuclear proliferation, following Al Qaeda outside of Iraq, and world perception. McCain signs off by saying Obama doesn't understand something else, while Obama ties America's standing in the world back to attitudes at home.
10:27: Yet another question McCain pauses on before answering. The gap in preparation hasn't been huge, but it's been perceptible, and one has to wonder how much better McCain would've done with more preparation and more foreign policy questions.
10:25: Is it really helpful to Obama is to "correct the record" every instance that McCain strays a little bit?
10:23: McCain is doing better on these non-Iraq questions, at least partly because he is not closely associated with the surge. Too bad the debate's about to end.
10:19: Columbia alum shout-out as McCain commends Saakashvili. Both candidates want to be tough with Russia while clearly treating them differently from, say, Iran.
10:15: "Oh please" sighs McCain. The "young whippersnapper" effect grows.
10:13: Every time McCain says "what Senator Obama doesn't understand," he comes off as arrogant and sneering.
10:07: Obama brings up negotiation instead. McCain butchers Ahmadinjad's name three times in going after Obama's openness to negotiation without preconditions.
10:05: McCain's tying almost every foreign policy question back to Iraq, without any pushing from Obama. He must be really confident that Americans are with him on the surge.
10:03: It's almost as if McCain didn't expect the Iran question, and he's jumped right to forming a league of democracies, blaming Russia, and protecting Israel.
10:01: It's the battle of the bracelets now.
9:58: McCain's favorite person in the 80s was Ronald Reagan? Subtle!
9:57: Obama accuses McCain of being impulsive as well, "singing songs about bombing Iran," and defends his Pakistan strategy. Obama calls it a 20th-century mindset. McCain, in his response, chides Obama for not being around when Pakistan was first dealt with.
9:54: Obama argues for increasing more troops. McCain hints at staying in Iraq for longer, but he also goes after Obama for suggesting being tougher with Pakistan.
9:50: There are so many possible frames an undecided voter can take out of this Iraq section, depending on whether they think the whole war, the surge, or the current situation is most important. For news clips, though, Obama's "you were wrong" will probably do well.
9:45: Obama fires right back, saying McCain is "acting like the war started in 2007." He's done his best to take it to McCain.
9:44: Obama: "we have to use our military wisely, and we did not use our military wisely in Iraq." McCain says the next president will only be focusing on the current situation, not the past, and focuses on Obama rarely visiting Iraq.
9:41: "What are the lessons of Iraq?" McCain says that the surge has worked, and that America will succeed leading to a stable ally/fledgling democracy in the region. It's a more precise answer than the ones he's given during the economy section. How well will Obama pivot?
9:38: McCain says that he will best control spending; Obama fires right back that he voted for all the Bush administration's budgets. It's almost 9:40, and we've just hit the foreign policy section.
9:35: For those of you who are interested in live focus group reaction, check out MediaCurves.com, which has live dial-based reaction.
9:34: McCain suggests that we should seriously consider a spending freeze, which seems a bit of an overreaction considering that he didn't mention it the first time he answered the question.
9:31: McCain focuses on the size of government, talking about waste. Lehrer points out that they aren't changing anything.
9:28: Obama uses a question about what he'd have to give up for the bailout to outline plans on getting off of foreign oil, college affordability, and infrastructure. Obama's lead answers have been very compact and detailed.
9:25: This has been 25 minutes on the economy, but the last 15 have been about things that aren't related to the Wall Street crisis.
9:23: The first instance of candidates talking over each other, and we're only 23 minutes in.
9:21 – The debate's been about tax cuts and earmarks, hardly favorable ground for Obama, though he's trumpeting the "95% will lose" figure. Obama accuses McCain of supporting tax loopholes. Lehrer is really encouraging them to go at each other.
9:19: Obama better start moving this debate off of earmarks soon – McCain's public image is heavily wrapped up in fighting earmarks. Instead, he's challenging McCain on them. Also, a photo of the Tasti Lounge crowd is below the fold.
9:17: Obama meanwhile is trying emphasize how he'll help the average American.
9:15: McCain criticizes his own party and earmarks. Each of his responses seems to be focused on integrity in some way or another.
9:13: Lehrer pushes Obama to say his response directly to McCain; McCain jokes that it's because Lehrer thinks he's deaf.
9:11: McCain deflects the question, and promises accountability in his administration. Obama responds that we need more responsibility, "but not just when there's a crisis." He brings back the "Wall St. vs. Main St." theme.
9:10: Lehrer pushes them on whether they will support it. Obama points out that they haven't seen the language yet.
9:07: McCain's answer is not nearly as tight as Obama's, but he's also putting on the sympathy more than Obama.
9:05: Obama blames the crisis on the Bush administration, "which Senator McCain supported." He is coming out swinging.
9:03: First question is on their thoughts on the financial crisis. Obama calls it the "worst crisis since the great depression." He looks directly into the camera, bashing executives and pushing "Main Street."
9:01: And we're on. For the record, Bwog is watching PBS's coverage. The first thing to note is that, unlike previous debates, Jim Lehrer can actually ask follow-up questions.
8:51: It's unlikely that there has ever been a crazier run-up to a debate, nor a more decisive event so close to an election than the banking crisis of the past week. What most voters will miss tonight is that, while McCain and Obama will have to formulate some sort of plan to tell viewers, the plan that Congress and the White House agree upon will be what they'll have to accept.
8:48: Let's get right to it. Tonight's debate comes to us from Ole Miss. It will run for 90 minutes (broken down into nine nine-minute sections), and will be moderated by PBS's Jim Lehrer. The debate was originally supposed to focus on foreign policy, but, given the events of the past week, both campaigns have acknowledged that there will be economic questions as well.

our daughter has been attending summer camp for the last three years at St.John's . she really has enjoyed her time there and is sad when the camp ends. I as her mother love the smaller class rooms and feel that it is an advantage academics. I know for myself I want to do the very best that I can for her to give her the best start and foundation to build on. I just don't feel that she is getting this in her public school. the class rooms are over crowded and there are not enough

St. John's has been absolutely a phenomenal school for our two boys ages 8 and 11! It is a nurturing, safe environment that fosters love and respect, as well a challenging academic environment. The teachers and staff are truly involved and are accessible to the parents. We have been involved in their very strong PTO, their Christmas musical performance, their sports teams, etc and we couldn't be happier. This is affordable Christian education at its best! The other week, my 8 year old asked if he could graduate college from St. John's. I think that speaks volumes!

This has been our first year at St. John's and we couldn't be more pleased. Our second grade and fifth grade sons are getting truly a complete education. From strong academics, to an excellent arts and music program, to extracurricular sports teams, to a strong PTO, St. John's has been a safe, nurturing, Christian environment where our kids are thriving!! It is hard to put into words the care and dedication the faculty and staff have for all their students, you have to come visit and you will feel it the moment you are in the door. A fantastic school!

Armed robber calls ahead for stolen Xbox
Robber called ahead of time, pretending to be a customer and saying he needed a gift for his kid
By Janet Kim
News Channel 5
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A bold robbery in broad daylight catches a store and a community by surprise. It happened at the GameStop store in Madison Wednesday.
Metro Police said this was a calculated robbery. What makes this one so unusual, according to investigators, is that the robber called ahead of time, pretending to be a customer and saying he needed a gift for his kid. Except when the suspect came into the store, investigators said it became clear he wasn't interested in buying a gift at all.
The robbery happened around 10:00 Wednesday morning, just minutes after the GameStop on Gallatin Pike opened. Surveillance video captures what police believe is the robber's car, which is a newer-model gray Nissan Versa casing the shopping center for about an hour.

Are you struggling to fit your love life into your career commitments? FreeAndSingle has the answer for professional singles looking for likeminded matches.
How to Fit Dating into your Professional Life
When you are a busy professional it can be hard to find the energy and the time to start dating and pursuing a relationship. When you work long hours, take work home with you or specialise in a field that involves lots of extra networking or travel it can feel like an impossible task to begin to date.
However, it is also at these points in your life – travelling to yet another conference in a suburban hotel, burning the midnight oil to finish a deposition to your satisfaction, or pulling the late shift and working nights – that make us realise something:
We're lonely.
You can fill life with a career and with social calls on friends and family, but it is a rare person indeed who doesn't wish for a little more than that. So here is our quick check guide to getting you started in the world of dating for professionals. Let us know in the comments if you found it helpful!
1. Sign up to Free and Single Professional in order to find like-minded people who will understand your work commitments and your drive.
2. In this age of technology, being in a separate country is no longer an excuse not to see each other. Up the ante on a boring hotel evening by using Skype or Google Hangout to chat to each other while eating dinner or watching a movie.
3. Make time for each other by agreeing a date in advance and booking it into your schedules like a meeting. Give each other an 'emergency work situation' card that you can each use once should something come up at work just before your date – but you can only use it once.
4. Try dating at different times of the day – it's nice to do traditional dinner dates, but mix it up by meeting for breakfast instead. You could take your full lunch break to go to the park or a bistro. Maybe your office winds down between 3pm and 5pm – pop out to take a stroll together or grab milkshakes before heading back to work.
5. Try calling them as you commute into work, or if that's not feasible, write a letter or email during your downtime and send it to them. The key is managing your professional working life and your dating life so that you get enjoyment from both.
In case you're wondering about starting something in your workplace, well, you should probably read our take on Office Romances first.
At the end of the day, there is always a little bit of time somewhere that you can squeeze a sympathetic person into and get to know them. You just have to let them know that you'll make the effort, even after a long day at work. Here's to dating as a professional!
Why Office Dating Can Only End in Tears
5 Reasons Not to Look for Love in your Office
Dating for professionals can be so much easier if you look at dating other professionals – but not those based in your office. Overall, much better to search for a date somewhere else. It can be hard if you are a working professional – where do you get the time to meet new people if you are concentrating on finishing that project for Friday's meeting? The answer is, you guessed it, a professional dating site. Just think, you can browse profiles while commuting on the train or last thing at night between brushing your teeth and slipping beneath the duvet.
Check out our list of the top five things about dating someone else in your office that could turn your date from fun to fired in so many flirtatious emails…
1) People are attracted to power.
Who fits into that category at work? Oh yeah, the boss! This is a bad idea. No matter how much you find your boss attractive, or how much you think they might be flirting with you when they tell you to have that report on their desk by 5pm…let me repeat. Bad idea. In 1% of cases, this might work out into a long term relationship with a fun anecdote about how you met, but the majority of cases end up awkward, difficult and unbearable. How would you like your ex telling you what to do on a daily basis? Didn't think so.
2) The temptation to flirt at the office.
Email monitoring is not a new invention. It is also perfectly acceptable for a company that pays you money – based on the idea that you spend your time working for them – monitors your outgoing mail, to check that you are in fact working and not describing tonight's big date plans in intimate detail to your colleague across the room. Not to mention that committing such details to email, which can be easily shared, is pretty silly. This leads us to…
3) Got a juicy secret? People just love to gossip!
The moment anyone else at your office gets wind, even it is the smallest suspicion, of your dating a co-worker…Well, remember the expression 'round the office watercooler?' It's not fun to be the centre of focus for pointed looks and elbow nudges. Just think, if the relationship turns sour you'll have to deal with the rumours for a long time. If you've already started dating someone in your office, it might be wise to check with HR that there is nothing in your contract forbidding such behaviour otherwise your job could be a risk.
4) Harrassment
So you had a fling, it was fun but then you broke it off. If your co-working ex isn't feeling so great about this, do not underestimate the possibility of a messy, humiliating time of it at work. You could be sued for sexual harassment, brought up on all manner of charges. It is not just women who can be seen as the victims here either. A female boss breaking up with a subordinate male colleague can still be in for a league of problems, both professionally and personally. These types of charges don't just resolve either, they'll stick around for a long time and may cost you your job.
5) Acting professional at work
Ever been in a relationship where you never chat, hold hands, kiss or hug? I didn't think so. Imagine how your credibility instantly sinks when you pitch an idea to your boss while holding your colleague's hand? How the gossip bubbles up in your wake once someone catches you giving each other a quick hug and a smooch in the elevator on the way up to the office. How you get fired after getting jiggy with it in the stationary cupboard. Unless you can completely ignore any unprofessional feelings while at the office, having a relationship with a colleague cannot help but affect your work.

What goes on in classrooms can be a fairly private endeavor, but on Wednesday the classrooms of two districts in suburban Milwaukee were on display for national visitors.
As kindergarteners at Wales Elementary School drew animal pictures, composed songs about animals and read about animals, men and women in suits crouched next to them on the floor to learn more about a personalized learning initiative at Kettle Moraine and other local school districts.
"How'd you find that out?" Gene Wilhoit, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers, asked one boy about something on his bears poster.
After the boy pointed to a page in a book open next to him, Wilhoit responded, "Oh, there it is."
Wilhoit and Linda Pittenger, a consultant to CCSSO, were in Wisconsin to view school sites that are implementing student-centered learning initiatives as part of the organization's Partnership for Next Generation Learning. Wisconsin is one of six states chosen by CCSSO to create innovation labs to improve academic achievement.
In the Kettle Moraine School District, teachers and students showed off their work during "research time," a period in the day when students conduct research pertaining to a certain theme and display their knowledge in a variety of modes. Later, after lunch at Oconomowoc High School, the group was scheduled to head up to Grafton's John Long Middle School.
Kettle Moraine and Grafton are two of 21 school districts participating in the Cooperative Educational Service Agency #1's effort to focus more on personalized learning, as opposed to whole group learning where teachers lecture on subjects. Schools are trying out different methods of student-centered instruction and sharing their results regionwide, CESA #1 executive director Tim Gavigan said.
That's where Kettle Moraine's research time fits in.
In addition to visiting the kindergarten class at Wales Elementary, the visitors from CCSSO -- who were accompanied by state schools superintendent Tony Evers -- also dropped by two fourth-grade classes at Magee Elementary School in Genesee Depot.
The older students were spending much of their time on netbooks, working on papers and conducting online research, although some also were editing videos or working on more hands-on projects. But they all seemed equally enthusiastic about the classwork.
As the students lined up for a group photo with their visitors, Evers asked them, "Do you like research time?"
"Yeah!" was the boisterous response.

Prevention & Recovery
How to prepare for a vaginal exam
The first day of your period marks the first day of your menstrual cycle, and the ideal time to get a pelvic exam is in the middle of your cycle, says Dr. Ellen Giesbrecht, MD, department head of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the BC Women's Hospital.
She recommends scheduling your appointment for a week after your period. Doctors can still do an exam if you're menstruating, but you won't get clear results on your Pap smear or on any swabs, so you'll end up having to come back. It's also best to have a breast exam after your period, when your breasts are less tender, says Dr. Giesbrecht.
Track your cycle
If you're having pain or period problems, monitor your cycle for a few weeks or months leading up to your appointment and record the results. Dr. Giesbrecht recommends using a period tracking app to monitor the frequency, flow and symptoms associated with your period. Bring this information to your appointment to help your doctor identify any possible issues. (Just be mindful not to rely on the app for fertility or reproductive information, warns Dr. Giesbrecht.)
Getting screened
In a typical screening, your doctor will take your blood pressure, then do an abdominal exam. Your doctor may also perform a breast exam, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Then comes the external pelvic exam, in which the doctor will look at the vulva for lumps, bumps and discolouration. Following that, the doctor will inspect the vagina and cervix (generally using a speculum to dilate the vagina), then do a Pap smear and swabs if necessary.
A Pap smear, which swabs the cervix for precancerous cells, should be done by your doctor every one to three years, depending on the screening guidelines of your province or territory. If you're sexually active or have other risk factors, you may require swabs and a urine test for STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
The last part of the screening is a bimanual exam, in which the doctor examines you externally with one hand (on the abdomen) and internally with the other, feeling for an enlargement of the uterus or masses on the ovaries, and noting any excessive pain or tenderness.
Know your history
Ask your mother or female relatives about your family's history of cancer and reproductive concerns, says Dr. Giesbrecht. This is particularly relevant when it comes to breast, ovarian, uterine or cervical cancer as well as fertility issues or pregnancy complications. This information can help your doctor determine the correct course of action if you're experiencing issues.
Ask questions
"Don't be afraid to ask questions," says Dr. Giesbrecht. Sometimes doctors discover things they may not have noticed otherwise when a patient mentions something they're worried about. "The only bad question is an unasked question."
Why do you need a Pap smear?
A Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. A doctor inserts a brush or spatula into the vagina to sample the cells at the opening of the cervix. The test looks for precancerous changes in these cells, one of the effects of the human papillomavirus (HPV). "Like a mammogram, it's a screening test where we can intervene early in the course of a disease to halt progression," says Dr. Giesbrecht.
HPV news
About one in 145 Canadian women will develop cervical cancer in their lifetimes, and contact with cancer-causing strands of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the biggest factor in determining whether you'll be one of them. A few factors, such as smoking or having a weakened immune system, can worsen your risk, but there's one huge thing you can do to stay safe: get the HPV vaccine. Sure, condoms decrease your chances of getting HPV by reducing skin-on-skin contact, but they don't eliminate the risk.
There are two vaccines in Canada that can help protect against HPV: Cervarix and Gardasil. Both safeguard against the two strains that cause most cervical cancers, but only Gardasil protects against the strains that cause genital warts. Gardasil has been approved for use in women up to age 45, but women aren't the only ones who should consider taking it.
Since 2010, males ages nine to 26 have been eligible for the vaccine. That's because men too are vulnerable to HPV-related cancers, including anal and penile cancers, though research on whether the vaccine can prevent those is still needed. Plus, both men and women can be at risk for cancers in the mouth and throat when they contract HPV through oral sex. In fact, HPV is linked to about 25 to 35 percent of oral cancers. And remember, even vaccinated individuals need to be screened regularly.

Software as a Service, or SaaS, isn't about the hosting. It's about helping your customers succeed with your product.
- Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of MindTouch
MindTouch in the News
When we announced our funding two weeks ago, we had no idea we'd get so much attention. We're flattered and honored to have our news covered and would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for all the shout outs! Here are some of the highlights:
[MindTouch]...increases the likelihood that someone researching a product will actually buy it, and it increases customer satisfaction — people who can find answers on their own are going to be happy.
MindTouch allows both established, long-respected enterprises that make physical products like Whirlpool, Newmar, MakerBot, and Remington, as well as fast-growing start-up companies like Code42, Zenefits, Zuora, and Docker, turn product and help content into a revenue-producing asset that creates happy and endorsing users.
The fact that this company is raising a Series A well over a decade after its inception is pretty staggering and points to the fact that MindTouch has been following a far more organic approach toward growth.
In a nutshell, MindTouch aims to unify content to get customers answers faster whether they come in via phone, search or a store location. Often customers have to navigate everything from user guides to reviews to FAQs and knowledge bases.
The company's software manages so called "help" content for companies, such as product documentation, training manuals and other support materials. Its software organizes this content online for self-service product support. So someone who buys a product can find answers to their questions at their own pace.
MindTouch, a San Diego-based provider of cloud-based answers to consumer product questions, has raised $12 million in new VC funding. PeakSpan Capital led the round, and was joined by SK Ventures and SAP.
MindTouch is just getting started in defining a new category of software directly focused on customer self-service.
MindTouch says its online technology ingests a company's help content, which often consists of printed documents like training manuals, PDF files, and other product-related materials, and converts it into Web-based product information.
As we now see, it all turned out well and as of today, the 65-70 person strong business is busting out of its current premises and can name customers like Whirlpool and partners like Salesforce and SAP.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' AS THIS YEAR SEES TWO STORIED WATCH BRANDS UNDERGO A CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. By Francis K
Harry Winston and Corum find themselves with new owners this year
Perhaps restrained by tradition, changes in the world of high-end watchmaking are usually measured, slowburning affairs. But once in a while, a single occurrence reshapes the landscape, for better or worse.
This year has seen two such events, both involving acquisitions of iconic brands. One sees the industry's dominant force add a dazzling jewel to its crown; the other upends the traditional East-West relationship of the horological world.
By sheer numbers alone, the US$1 billion acquisition of American jeweller Harry Winston by the Swatch Group would appear the more significant, yet this purchase by the Swiss behemoth is merely the latest expression of its grow-at-(almost)-all-cost strategy.
Founded by the brand's namesake in 1932, Harry Winston ventured into watchmaking in 1989, and is best known in this arena for its Opus series. Launched in 2001, this series pairs the brand with an independent watchmaker each year to push the boundaries of horology.
The brand's addition to Swatch – the world's biggest supplier of finished watches and watch movements – will add another layer to the group's dizzying portfolio of brands that range from mass-market offerings to premium creations.
Another acquisition completed in April involved the takeover of Swiss watchmaker Corum by China Haidian. As part of the deal, Corum chief executive officer (CEO) Antonio Calce was also appointed CEO of Eterna, another Swiss watch brand owned by the Chinese group.
While smaller in scale – 86 million Swiss francs changed hands – this latter deal could turn out to be of greater significance than Swatch's acquisition of Harry Winston, as it could be a precursor to more Chinese watch companies buying Swiss know-how and credibility to compete at the very highest levels of the market.
Indeed, Hon Kwok Lung, chairman of China Haidian, said that it may consider further acquisitions "to grow our business if an opportunity arises". China Haidian plans to use its retail network in China to help distribute and market iconic Corum timepieces like its Golden Bridge line.
Yet, industry watchers are doubtful that the Chinese players are going to challenge the giants of the industry any time soon.
"I don't see a danger for Richemont and Swatch Group," said Patrik Schwendimann, an analyst at Swiss bank ZKB.

An effective method for the seismic retrofitting of the sidewalls of cut-and-cover tunnels has not yet been established. Thus, a new method of seismic retrofitting for cut-and-cover tunnels, called the 'polymer isolation method', is developed here. In this method, thin walls made of polymer materials, called 'isolation walls', are inserted between the ground and the sidewalls of a tunnel. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing the seismic response of tunnels by using some numerical simulations. It is found that the proposed method depends on the thickness of the soil cover over the tunnel and the ratio of the stiffness between the soil and the structure. Furthermore, a simple chart is proposed for convenience to represent the applicability of the polymer isolation method to the design of seismic retrofits for cut-and-cover tunnels. Although this particular chart has been obtained through a limited case, some other typical cases in which the chart can also be implemented for special conditions are addressed, and the applicability and the limitations of this chart are suggested for possible conditions of the ground and of tunnel structures. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An investigation on the method to predict noise level of conventional railway at high-rise buildings.

39th International Congress on Noise Control Engineering 2010, INTER-NOISE 2010 | Year: 2010
In this paper, we propose the new method, which is based on the prediction model of Railway Technical Research Institute, to predict sound exposure levels (LAE) of conventional railway at the high-rise buildings. In order to grasp vertical distribution of LAE at the high-rise buildings, field examinations were carried out at areas, in the range of 1.2 m to 25 m high from the ground and 4 m to 30 m distant from the near-side track, along two different railway lines with no barriers. From the vertical distributions of the measured LAE, we introduced the correction corresponding to the vertical directivity, which is expressed by a quadratic function of the elevation angle, to the RTRI prediction model. From verifications of the precision of noise levels predicted by the new method at these two lines, it became clear that noise levels in the high-rise buildings could be predicted within an error of about 2 dB.

The actual cooling load of underground stations in recent years has been much lower than the designed load thirty years ago. Therefore, it is important to estimate the actual load in the planning of cooling systems. In this study the cooling load caused by train wind in an underground station was discussed and a field measurement and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were conducted. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The measurement showed that air volume of the train wind was greatly affected by the train speed and the tunnel structure (single or double track). (2) In the CFD simulation, the train was modeled as a moving body to simulate train wind. The CFD simulation with a pressure loss model in the tunnel could reproduce the measurement. (3) The influence of train wind on the platform cooling system was examined by the CFD simulation in terms of an influence coefficient. In the Shin-Nihombashi station, the influence coefficient was approximately 0.38 in the area connecting to the tunnel while the coefficient was about 0.24 in the center area. Source

The purpose of the present study is to develop a three dimensional geologic modeling system on Web-GIS and to define the basic elements of the model for providing geologic information accurately and effectively. The prototype system has been developed to perform acquisition of geologic data, construction of models, and visualization of the modeling results on Web. The base system of the prototype is constructed by the integration of a mapping engine, Web-GIS client, GIS and relational database using typical FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics) products. The main system for the geologic modeling is composed of nine functional modules. The basic elements of the three dimensional geologic model have been defined according to the arrangement of data flow of this modeling system. Further, this system has been established by the subsurface modeling using real borehole data from the Western Osaka Plain in Japan. © Geoinformatics International. Source

Monitoring of the deformation of earth retaining walls for excavating work is vital in order to protect the surrounding environment and to ensure the safety of structures during construction. Since it is difficult to evaluate the overall behavior with only partial measurement, it is expedient to introduce multipoint measurement. However, this method tends to be expensive. This paper introduces a system developed for evaluating and visualizing retaining walls as a three-dimensional curved surface. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system in actual monitoring, the system was applied to the on-site measurement. This paper also proposes a method of monitoring retaining walls by combining this system and simple inclinometers. Source
