New Ecuadoran legislation seen as a gag on critics
After inspecting a hydroelectric project in northern Ecuador last year, President Rafael Correa complained about the scant press coverage of his visit and suggested it was part of a media blackout. "Did the Ecuadoran media conspire to ignore this important event? It seems like that is the case," Correa told the crowd at a town hall meeting. "In this country, good news is not news."

Teen arrested in OSU campus online threat
Prompted alert, increased police presence
CORVALLIS, Ore. - A 16-year-old Oregon teen was arrested Friday, accused of an online threat made Thursday on an Internet blog site, Oregon State Police reported.
OSP detectives, assisted by Corvallis police and the FBI, took the teen into custody on a first-degree disorderly conduct charge, after an investigation identified him as a "person of interest," troopers said.
The boy's name and hometown, and the content of the threat, "are not being released at this time because of the ongoing investigation," OSP said in a news release. However, he was identified as "an Oregon resident who does not live in the Corvallis area."
Before noon Thursday, OSP University Area Command at Oregon State University learned of the threat directed at the campus on an Internet blog site, troopers said. As a precautionary measure, a warning message and an emergency alert were sent to the OSU community and students, and law enforcement presence on campus was increased.
The initial investigation indicated the online threat originated outside of the Northwest, but investigative leads brought the focus back into Oregon, troopers said Friday, adding that "there is no known further potential threat."
"OSP and OSU thank students, staff and campus visitors for their concern and commitment to campus safety," the news release concluded.

There's a new restaurant in Newport that may very well give the expression "tsk-tsk" new, enthusiastic meaning. Tsk, as Thames Street Kitchen likes to be called, is appealing in so many ways that a description of dining there could serve as a pocket handbook on how to run a restaurant right.
It opened in May and had a successful summer — not automatically, since they're located way down the un-busy end of Thames. So it's yet to prove itself viable year-round. If the quality and inventiveness of its dishes are any indication, it will be widely discovered and, hopefully, thrive.
But so much strikes you as right before you get to the food. The atmosphere is interestingly informal and subtly food-oriented. Painterly photographs, such as interesting countryside building textures, are on the walls. The one near our table was from Simmons Farm, in Middletown, one of several local suppliers they rely on.
Instead of flowers on the table, there were two slender glass cylinders holding fresh sprigs of thyme. A row of cylinders on a long communal table displayed additional herbal textures and colors, but the vegetal display that won me over was in the bathroom: two small vases of baby Romaine. Cute. Bread, from Pain D'Avignon on the Cape, was brought in a turned-down brown paper bag. Included was a stick of coarse salt-encrusted bread, which should be in every breadbasket to perk up taste buds.
The place is BYOB, another inducement, so we brought along a nice Haut-Médoc. The corkage is $2 per person and, in accord with the effort at informality, it is served in small tumblers.
In tune with the amiable atmosphere, there is even a romantic back story to the place. Chef-proprietors Tyler Burnley and Chad Hoffer, who became friends working at the New York restaurant BLT, met and married a pair of twins, Anna and Julia Jenkins, who can be seen hosting and waiting here, back in their home town. With a tale that sweet, who needs dessert?
In what could be a serious disadvantage, they have the most limited menu I've ever encountered — just eight items, including starters. It changes weekly and sometimes daily, depending on market opportunities and what they run out of. What makes the short list work is its intriguing variety. The fare on the sample menu I saw online had an appetizer of beef tongue with purslane and fried pickle, plus roasted chicken with caramelized fig. Opportunities the evening we came ranged as widely, with a poached salmon and scrambled egg appetizer, as well as duck confit and a parmesan emulsion on kitchen-made fettuccine. Both menus started with a "simply greens" salad, and both had a chicken and a lobster entrée.
We started with an heirloom tomato salad ($10). Corn kernels and triangles of ricotta salata were welcome complements, all bound with a charred onion vinaigrette. Johnnie's halibut came with fennel three ways: braised below and with both white shavings and green top tendrils above. The accompanying couscous was enchantingly seasoned.
I went for the ingenious surf and turf ($33). The shelled lobster meat, so fresh and perfectly cooked that the little claw tips weren't mealy, was accompanied by three ravioli filled with — wait for it — shreds of pork belly. The contrast worked. Paper-thin slices of Bayonne ham and trumpet mushrooms joined in, all under not sauce but beurre monte, emulsified butter carefully kept from separating. Wonderful.

Dang, I missed out inspecting that Michael Rader knife.
Looking good! I have a 3 questions
1. Who is the fella to thr right of Dave and half hidden behind Jon?
2. Who is the maker for that fantastic looking knife in the wooden display box?
3. Who is the guy in the green shirt holding up the Ealy knife?
I like to put names with faces or in this case, faces with handles

Deer Herd Management for Georgia Hunters
Quality Deer Management (QDM)
In the 1960's, deer management in Georgia consisted primarily of restoration. As deer numbers gradually increased into viable populations across the state, hunters harvested surplus animals (frequently bucks only)and began the initial phase of population control in some areas. Over the years, this management was fine tuned as the Department utilized bag limits, season length, and either sex hunting days to manage the deer herd. Hunters and their harvest continue to be the primary tool for deer herd management.
A slightly different approach to this traditional form of deer management is Quality Deer Management (QDM). In QDM, additional efforts are made to manage the age structure and sex ratio to improve herd and hunt quality. This management is accomplished by protecting young bucks while harvesting enough does to maintain the population below the carrying capacity of the habitat. As these protected bucks advance into older age classes, they produce a more natural age structure and opportunities for hunters to hunt for older aged bucks. As with any other management strategy, there are both advantages and disadvantages to consider before you or your club decides to implement QDM.
Advantages of QDM
The combination of protecting young bucks while managing the deer population below the carrying capacity of the habitat creates a more natural and balanced age structure in the population. If herd restrictions are sufficient to improve habitat conditions, the results are more available food for increased body weights, reproduction, and antler development. As more bucks advance into the older age classes, chances of taking a quality animal increase. For this reason, QDM is often referred to as "trophy deer management." Actually, older bucks are more of a by-product of a properly practiced QDM program. In true trophy management, the goal is to produce some substantially older bucks for harvest typically from a low deer population.
QDM philosophy encourages hunter participation at the management level. Instead of being primarily resource users, hunters have increased control over deer herd development. Hunter/managers become more involved with land and habitat improvement, which in turn benefits other wildlife species and often leads to economic benefits for the landowner.
Disadvantages of QDM
The immediate and most noticeable effects experienced by hunting clubs or landowners implementing QDM involve the drastic reduction in total buck harvest. This reduction can be offset in some situations by increased doe harvests; however, once the population is lowered to below carrying capacity, the doe harvest will also need to be reduced. The bottom line is usually an overall reduction in the total deer harvest. This can often be prevented, however, by a concurrent increase in food supply.
QDM does not produce quick results. Often 5 years or more is required for enough bucks to move into the older age classes. Even then, despite the deer being larger, there will be fewer bucks to harvest as compared to traditional management. Additionally, a reduced deer population means that fewer total deer will be seen. Several of these negative factors can be overcome by habitat improvements which increase deer food supplies such as high quality food plots. These factors may lead to hunter dissatisfaction and ultimately decrease hunter participation. This could cause monumental problems within hunting clubs where it is essential that all members work together to realize QDM goals.
QDM will not work on all properties in all regions or all counties. There are many variables, such as surrounding hunting pressure current deer densities, and habitat that may prevent appreciable gains in deer quality even after setting buck harvest criteria and population goals. Attempts at QDM in these areas may lead to a frustrated hunting experience.
Over the last few years, there has been a tremendous amount of media coverage regarding QDM including TV programs, magazine articles, and private and state-sponsored information meetings. In spite of all these information outlets, QDM's biggest problem involves unrealistic expectations. QDM is no better than the effort individuals or groups put into the program. Often, a club or landowner will attempt to implement some type of QDM harvest strategy without considering basic background information such as the current condition of the deer herd and habitat. QDM is not the fast track to the Boone & Crockett record book. If so, it would be called Boone and Crockett Deer Management. It moves slightly higher percentages of bucks into the mature, trophy-producing age classes; but actual antler size is controlled by numerous other variables.
In a Nutshell - Pros and Cons of QDM
- QDM produces an older buck age structure than produced by traditional management.
- QDM increases chances of hunting for and killing a large buck which is important to many hunters.
- Aggressive doe harvests, which may be required for QDM, produce deer herds within biological and sociological carrying capacity.
- QDM encourages hunters to view themselves as resource managers as well as resource users.
- Hunter-managers are more likely to comply voluntarily with hunting regulations and to report observed violations.
- Improved hunt quality may have positive economic benefits for landowners and communities.
- Special management may renew interest in deer hunting for some hunters.
- QDM will reduce total buck harvest.
- Reduced populations resulting from aggressive doe harvests reduces hunter satisfaction for some.
- This technique will not work equally well everywhere, and consistent regulations will not be possible because of differences in habitat quality, genealogy, and herd condition between counties.
- QDM protection of 1.5 year-old bucks eliminates many biological tools for monitoring populations including current computer models. QDM requires more intensive and expensive biological data collection.
- Various antler restrictions decrease the public's ability to understand hunting regulations and increases law enforcement problems.
- Restrictive regulations reduce resource availability and hunter participation especially by casual and young hunters.
- QDM by state regulation eliminates other valid options hunters have for managing deer herds including maximum sustainable yield.
- The nonhunting public does not support trophy hunting. The distinctions between QDM and trophy hunting may be too fine for the average nonhunter to understand.
- QDM regulations may result in higher lease fees than otherwise would have been required.

Open thread: Hey America, it's Paul Ryan Update: Video added
posted at 9:51 pm on August 29, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
The most anticipated speaker on deck at the GOP convention tonight is almost certainly Paul Ryan, as his speech will mark his official acceptance of the nomination for Mitt Romney's running mate and afford him the opportunity to America that he can be a more competent vice president than President Obama's current counterpart. Lookin' pretty good so far, according to the released excerpts:
"I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old – and I know that we are ready. Our nominee is sure ready. His whole life has prepared him for this moment – to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words. After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney. …
"Obamacare comes to more than two thousand pages of rules, mandates, taxes, fees, and fines that have no place in a free country. The president has declared that the debate over government-controlled health care is over. That will come as news to the millions of Americans who will elect Mitt Romney so we can repeal Obamacare. …
"We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years. …
"My Dad used to say to me: 'Son. You have a choice: You can be part of the problem, or you can be part of the solution.' The present administration has made its choices. And Mitt Romney and I have made ours: Before the math and the momentum overwhelm us all, we are going to solve this nation's economic problems. And I'm going to level with you: We don't have that much time. But if we are serious, and smart, and we lead, we can do this. …
"The right that makes all the difference now is the right to choose our own leaders. You are entitled to the clearest possible choice because the time for choosing is drawing near. So here is our pledge. We will not duck the tough issues – we will lead. We will not spend four years blaming others – we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles. The work ahead will be hard. These times demand the best of us – all of us, but we can do this. Together, we can do this."
Nice. I'll update with a reaction and video ASAP!
Update: Paul Ryan's speech, in two words? Nailed it. Everything that I like (and surmise that others will like as he becomes more and more familiar to them) about Paul Ryan was on perfect display during his half hour-ish on stage. He was intelligent without being intimidating; he was stern and serious but still optimistic and even funny; and he hinted at his wonkiness without getting into jargon and maintained his approachability. But the most beautiful thing about Paul Ryan as the potential vice president of the United States is his uncanny knack for breaking through populist myths and shrill leftist attacks and instead communicating the merits of free-market economics and small government, all without being shrill or polarizing. Contrary to liberal messaging, wealth creation isn't about people being people being helpless cogs in the wheel of corporate usury and cruel fate — it's about people being empowered and free to take up the mantle of personal responsibility and ingenuity, and Paul Ryan can relate that truth highly effectively.
He simply and effortlessly walked us through President Obama's long list of failures and history of blaming everyone but himself, and illustrated why a Mitt Romney presidency isn't just an preferable but rather a desirable alternative — while scattering a few fun personal tidbits into the mix, as well as addressing their religious and generation differences with a message of unity. I thought that talking about his mother's struggles, coupled with the simple declaration that a Romney/Ryan administration would not eliminate but strengthen Medicare, was the perfect death blow to Democrats' recent attacks on that score: "We had help from Medicare, and it was there, just like it's there for my Mom today. Medicare is a promise, and we will honor it. A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom's generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours." Bam. Doesn't get much more straightforward than that.
I'm struggling to find something to criticize about the whole thing, but then again, I am not a progressive. I'm sure their unfailing creativity won't disappoint us in finding reasons that the whole monologue was just an elitist pack of lies, eh?
Update: I updated the front-page picture with one or our own, direct from the occasion!

Cambridge trainer Chris Wood may still get to the Riccarton cup carnival with comeback galloper Single Currency after all.
Woods has a $40,000 1400m undercard event pencilled in for the Bachelor Duke 6-year-old who bounced back to his best with a dominant win at Te Rapa on Saturday.
The success in the listed Timpson Family Trust Sprint (1200m) came in just Single Currency's second race back since an operation to remove bone chips from his near-fore fetlock.
The injury surfaced soon after he returned from running fifth to Platinum Princess in last year's Coupland's Bakeries Mile, his chances scuttled by raceday rain.
"I could pop him on a plane to go to Christchurch on Saturday, or I might and sit and wait for another sprint at Te Rapa next month," said Wood.
"I'll just weigh up my options. We'll trot him up in the morning [Monday] and see what he looks like."
Despite the horse's long spell on the sidelines, Wood was confident of success on Saturday.
He said Hamilton equine surgeon Greg Quinn had performed a masterly procedure to remove the chips and his staff adhered to the recovery recommendations to the letter.
Wood also gave the gelding plenty of time to rebound from his promising fresh-up fifth, without much luck in the running, at Wanganui on October 20.
"I was very confident with him; he'd worked super in his previous two gallops and the rider had a handful of horse both times," said Wood.

Waterspout hits Flathead Lake, wows onlookers
WOODS BAY, Mont. - A rare waterspout made an appearance on Flathead Lake Monday morning. Flathead resident Michael Marchetti was driving to work at around 7:30 am when something over the lake caught his eye. After pulling to the side of the road, he took pictures and his wife took video as a waterspout churned across the lake for over 8 minutes. "It was a truly amazing sight", he said.
For a waterspout above 30 degrees latitude, 8 minutes is an eternity. Marchetti says in the 15 years he's lived in the Flathead, it's only the 2nd waterspout he's seen. The remarkable thing is that this waterspout was accompanied by snow showers. Waterspouts should be limited to the warmer months; but in this case all the factors were just right for an incredible weather event.
Waterspouts look like tornadoes, but the classic waterspout is a much different animal. 99% of tornadoes form under massive supercell thunderstorms; the kind only found when hot tropical air and strong storm systems are present. Waterspouts work on a smaller scale. Any cloud with a decent updraft underneath it can form a waterspout if other factors are ideal.
The primary ingredient for waterspout formation is a clash of warm and cold air. The waters of Flathead Lake are relatively warm compared to the cold air with this storm system. That warm air is fuel for the snow showers crossing the lake, and the air begins to rise. This creates a strong updraft that combines with cross winds coming across the lake; a vortex is created. The waterspout begins as a dark blue patch on the lake surface, and moisture from the clouds works it's way down and a funnel is formed. While weaker than tornadoes, waterspouts can pack a punch with winds over 40 miles per hour. In warmer, waterspout-prone areas such as the Florida Gulf Coast, winds in a waterspout can even move at over 100 miles per hour.

They look really nice from what I can see. Good Job!
Honeyshack, they look great in the photo. Are they pure beeswax with color added?
Photo is a bit small but they look good from here.
Berk, the candles are pure beexwax with dye chips added
Your candles are just beautiful. They look to have a metallic look to them. Very nice. In an attempt to save on my dyed wax, I did the final dip or two in the colored wax using candles that I had previously poured. They were only tinted on the outside. They turned out nicely also.
How did you get your wax so white?

A self-described "mystic showman," Paul Thek imbued his work with an idiosyncratic personal symbolism that was deeply rooted in his uneasy relationship to Catholicism and his preoccupation with death, ritual, and the symbolic function of objects and images. After graduating from Cooper Union in New York City in 1954, Thek worked for ten years before achieving his first critical success with the Technological Reliquaries series (1964–1967), the earliest of which were plexiglass-entombed wax sculptures depicting freshly cut flesh with all the layers of sinewy muscle, hair, and fat intact. One of these visceral objects, Hippopotamus (1965), was inspired by the fabulist rantings of Sylvia Kraus, who launched public tirades against communism and environmental dangers, claiming that "hippopotamus poison" was being used to oppress and control the American public. The tubing in Thek's sculpture suggests a bizarre life-support system for the tainted flesh, vaguely hinting at Kraus' medical science fiction, a "poetic misunderstanding of the world" Thek found beautiful for its fervor and imagination.1
The Technological Reliquaries inscribed the body, in all its stinking, rotting, grotesque reality, into the midst of Minimalism's coolness and the slick branded imaging of Pop Art. They also espoused an aesthetic of immediacy with a firm basis in reality; as the artist said, "Everything is beautiful and everything is ugly simultaneously."2 Thek had a constant concern for the themes of body, death, spiritual redemption, and rites of passage, but he also ascribed to a kind of material pragmatism in which artworks are not so much discrete objects as they are parts from which to construct elaborate scenarios. The Personal Effects of the Pied Piper (circa 1975), for example, is a group of bronze objects that seem to be the postmortem remains of the Piper's belongings. They include pieces related to the tale—a burnt-out campfire, a folding kit of implements, several mice, and a loaf of bread and some books the rodents have hollowed out—commingled with references to other narratives, including the Bible and Uncle Tom's Cabin. As a whole, Thek's Pied Piper is a cautionary tale of power, technological progress, and the potential consequences that may arise when humanity plays games of follow the leader too naively.
The idea of "Procession" lies deep in the heart of all of Thek's work and life, which were conjoined in an always-evolving experience that was ephemeral or nomadic, unfixed, collaborative, full of ritual, and anti-concrete. An early work, Pyramid/A Work in Progress (1971–1972), is a room-size encampment of sorts in which multiple sculptures and found objects were connected by elaborate ad hoc walkways and passages. Begun as a monthlong process of environmental creation with the loose cadre of artists known as Artist's Co-op, the work was called by Thek both a "time temple" and a "life theatre"3 and exemplified his approach to mythic, personal art as well as camp theatricality, sensual spirituality, and communal creativity.
In 1980, Thek realized an installation of paintings that, through lighting, seating, and decor, consciously created a humanizing situation for viewing art. Commonly known as the "Picture Light Paintings" due to their presentation in kitschy gold frames with picture lights, the works exorcise the demons of twentieth-century painting with quirky charm and strange wit. From serene landscapes to the brushy abstraction of the Walker Art Center's Bambi Growing (circa 1980) to garish abstraction, raw expressionism, and sight gags, the paintings were variously about, according to Thek, theology, psychology, philosophy, art, beauty, and humor. Bambi Growing was a sentimental reference to the Disney movie, a favorite of the artist's, and the patient constancy of Bambi's mother.
The representative sampling of Thek's work in the Walker's collection situates itself easily within art-historical trajectories from Joseph Beuys and Arte Povera to later international developments in Conceptual and Process Art. His sincerely poetic works, intended as meditations and healing environments, are also witty provocations that confront the blunt realities of the world while reaching for answers about life beyond it on both mental and spiritual planes.

DeFina Joins SightLogix as Exec. VP of Sales and Marketing
Frank DeFina will lead sales and marketing efforts at the thermal camera maker following his departure in June from Samsung Techwin America.
By Rodney Bosch · July 15, 2014
PRINCETON, N.J. — Frank DeFina has joined thermal camera provider Sightlogix as executive vice president of sales and marketing, effective immediately.
DeFina previously served as executive vice president of Samsung Techwin America for five years before leaving the company on June 2, citing personal reasons.
Sightlogix CEO John Romanowich took part in a conference call to discuss DeFina's new role and said the long-time video surveillance executive would help the company "bring us to many more markets and create many more channels for us."
"Frank is here to basically help us manage our development of our sales and marketing," Romanowich said. "We already have a strong team in place, which he will augment and help us build out and grow to a much bigger platform and company in the process."
DeFina said he and Romanowich have been friends for some time after meeting each other during their involvement together serving on the board of the Security Industry Association (SIA).
"I have always admired [Romanowich] and we've always talked about his business. I was intrigued a long time ago," De Fina said. "As we were talking more recently I got to learn more about Sightlogix and I started to meet the people in the company and I saw it as a hidden gem."

While most of the blogosphere was waiting with "baited breath," as Jason Kinkaid put it this afternoon, I'd been on the phone all day trying to track own folks from Google, the FCC, Apple, TMobile, AT&T and Skype to get the scoop on what was going on from all angles.
Yeah – rough afternoon for someone who doesn't consider himself a journalist. Sometimes, when you have a deep-seated curiosity on something, you just can't help yourself from picking up the phone and trying to find out.
Just to catch you up on the story, in case you're not familiar with the timeline, here are a list of links that should bring you up to speed.
The Story Thus Far:
- Andy Kessler: Why AT&T Killed Google Voice
- FCC Opens Inquiry of Apple's Ban of Google Voice
- Google: We Never Blocked Skype From Android
- Google-AT&T-Apple fight over Net calls draws FCC interest
- /SAbackchan discussion on the topic: Is Google Really In Trouble with the FCC and Skype?
In a nutshell: Google Voice app was denied access to the iPhone App store. Apple blamed AT&T. AT&T blamed Apple. The FCC got interested in whether anti-competitive behavior was taking place. USA Today points out that Google did the same thing to Skype with the TMobile G1 / Android limitation. TMobile blames Google. Google blames TMobile. Google then says "it was a technical limitation, not a commercial limitation.
That catches you up. Dig in!
So I spoke with representatives and insiders from most of the aforementioned companies, and of course many folks spouted the various company lines being talked about now, but several spoke freely as long as I identified them simply as "sources close to the matter," so assume all quotes and viewpoints in this post qualified as such.
I had three major questions when I took a look at the USA Today post about the FCC:
- How is Android limiting to Skype – is it a technical limitation or an arbitrary limitation that prevents Skype from being an end-to-end VoIP solution?
- Why is this an FCC issue and not a Justice Department or FTC issue?
- If these are commercial limitations, who's truly responsible (in both instances: Google/TMobile and Apple/AT&T)?
What is the FCC's Interest in This Debacle?
Thankfully my email address is easy enough to find on the web, and a few sources found me straight away. One individual with information pertinent to my questions regarding the FCC emailed me this afternoon.
"It's important to understand the roles of the Department of Justice versus the FCC in matters like this," he said. "The DoJ deals in enforcement, where as the FCC can open dialogues with the various corporations involved, encouraging them to fall in line with generalized FCC policy."
It makes sense, but puts in a vastly different perspective the gravity of the 'investigation' the FCC is conducting presently. The way it sounds and is portrayed by most pundits (in particular, the USA Today and the Wall Street journal) is that there will be hard and fast consequences and repercussions for the guilty party.
Read All the Responses to the FCC:
In essence, though, it seems to be from what I understand, for the purposes of opening a clear and honest dialogue not clouded by public relations concerns with the goal of getting policies of all involved in line with FCC goals (which, incidentally, are heavily influenced by Google's stated goals in the whole 700mhz bandwidth auction).
As an interesting aside, I've received some eyes-only FCC filings from a few of the parties involved that show that this investigation and series of issues have been actually an ongoing dialogue for going on three years. In essence, the potential for anti-competitive actions by both Google/TMobile, and Apple/AT&T have been going on for quite a while.
Why is it "Skype Lite" instead of just plain "Skype" on the G1 Android?
Of course, the debate is pretty conclusively settled as to why Google Voice isn't on the iPhone now since Apple has pretty much admitted that it "really is that evil," and absolved AT&T of any fault in blocking the app from the iPhone app store.
There's a difference between the technical and the commercial realities.
I had an opportunity to speak to developers for all the various platforms involved, including Android and the iPhone, and two distinct pictures emerged. Developers for the iPhone describe their development experience as pretty much shrouded in mystery, with very little feedback from Apple / AT&T as to what may be accepted and what will be rejected.
Android developers, on the other hand, had a better understanding of what the platform they were developing for was capable of and more optimism that their app would be accepted, but were still acutely aware of the difference between platform limitations and artificial limitations created by business concerns.
"Google basically has a bunch of switches you can flip on and off, and it's unclear who controls it," said one prominent Android developer. "TMobile and Google pass the buck back and forth. It ends up where developers like us basically say 'we're not going to take a chance on an app with full featured functionality when it may not work or end up rejected.'"
This is a situation I can intimately identify with. Back in '99-'00, I worked for Nokia, pioneering the limits of the still newborn SMS protocol by designing the specifications by which ringtones were transferred to and from the handset. Very often, we as developers would get one story from the biz-dev department at the major carriers, another story from the infrastructure guys at the carriers, and then a completely different set of results from our independent testing.
Obviously, this sort of atmosphere is limiting innovation. Who do we lay the blame (and thus the public pressure) on, though?
Who's butt do I hafta kick to get a VoIP app in this gin joint?
Who's to blame for what?
Apple's Response
Apple says in it's response to the FCC: "Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application […] the application has not been approved." They go on to say that they're still in very deep 'study' of the application, because "it appears to alter the iPhone's distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone's core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail."
They continue in their response by mis-characterizing what Google Voice does, saying that it "replaces Apple's Visual Voicemail by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail from being stored on the iPhone."
This, of course, isn't true. The app itself doesn't do anything like that, it simply provides an interface to the Goovle Voice system, which itself can replace, or not replace at the user's preference any number of services not limited to the iPhone.
Apple goes on to say that they acted alone without AT&T's approval or behest in their "failure to approve the app," although they admit that there's a provision in the relationship between AT&T and Apple to not allow VoIP applications.
Those are the important points (at least germane to this discussion). There are a lot of other bits and pieces that could be gone over with a fine tooth comb, as several bits of intentional obtuseness are displayed, as well as selective memory on the answers to many of the FCC's question.
Bottom line: Apple claims rejected the Google Voice app without consulting AT&T, but they knew that if they had approved it, AT&T would demanded it's removal due to it breaching the terms of agreement between Apple and AT&T.
AT&T's Response
Apple was kind enough to post their entire response to the FCC for the public. AT&T, on the other hand, released a press statement summarizing their position.
The crux of AT&T's response: "…let me state unequivocally, AT&T had no role in any decision by Apple to not accept the Google Voice application for inclusion in the Apple App Store. AT&T was not asked about the matter by Apple at any time, nor did we offer any view one way or the other."
They go on to say that they don't "block consumers from accessing any lawful website on the Internet," though I'm pretty sure that wasn't really at question at any point, and sounds like what someone would say if they didn't understand exactly how mobile phone apps were different from websites.
They also show a fundamental lack of understanding on how Google Voice works, which makes me wonder if they just picked a clueless lawyer to write this statement, or if Apple could have pulled the wool over their eyes in terms of approving Google Voice if they wanted.
Bottom line: AT&T didn't have a hand in rejecting Google Voice's iPhone app, per se. They did set up, in their original partnership agreement with Apple that no VoIP calls could originate or terminate on an iPhone (without permission), thus creating an understanding that it wouldn't be kosher to even bring to the network for approval.
Google's Response
Most of the interesting stuff in Google's response to the FCC was redacted, including what it was that Apple said exactly when they informed Google that the app wasn't approved.
They did provide some responses on what the approval process looks like for the Android platform, though, and here's how they describe it:
There is a limited automated analysis that is performed on all uploaded applications at the time of submission, to identify technical issues that would prevent installation by the user and to notify the developer of these issues.
This automated process does not screen or reject applications on the basis of content or functionality.
This pretty and open picture of the Android marketplace, however, doesn't jive with the picture that developers on the bleeding edge painted for me.
I was pointed to, by several developers, the post put out by Andy Rubin on the Google Public Policy blog today preceding the release of the FCC letter:
Here are the facts, clear and simple: While the first generation of our Android software did not support full-featured VoIP applications due to technology limitations, we have worked through those limitations in subsequent versions of Android, and developers are now able to build and upload VoIP services.
While individual operators can request that certain applications be filtered if they violate their terms of service, USA Today is wrong to say that:
"Google's explanation would seem to suggest that T-Mobile requested the block on Skype, but the carrier says that's not the case. "T-Mobile has not asked Google to block that service," says spokesman Joe Farren, referring to original Skype."
As I said earlier – if this was clearly communicated with anyone from the beginning, it wasn't the developers I talked to (and given the type of work these particular developers do, well, let's just say they should have been given specifics).
Instead, it seems like Google communicated in veiled language what would and wouldn't work and who mandated it as such.
Bottom line: Google, either in fear of fouling up a relationship with TMobile or out of tacit agreement with TMobile's policy of no end-to-end VoIP on the Android G1 device stripped out the requisite technology to make a full version of Skype and other VoIP applications work properly.
So Who's To Blame Again?
Did we ever establish that in all this investigation? It's safe to say that everyone's to blame. Google and Apple are the new kids on the block, and they're playing on the telco's turf. Given Google's ultimate goals with Android, and Apple's unmitigated success in selling the iPhone, neither company wants to run afoul of their telco partners.
So – they kowtow. They don't offer the telco's a chance to say no to new applications that push the boundaries of telephony. They establish arbitrary and capricious systems and standards that make sure that either developers can be rejected for reasons so arcane and random that Kim Jong-Il would smile or make developers feel so uncomfortable developing full versions of their applications that they just don't.
Is it anti-competitive? Sure. Is it smart business? Maybe in the short run. Does it put caps on innovation? Absolutely.
Ultimately, those will be the findings of the FCC, if they're able to read between the lines as much as the rest of us who've taken time to read these documents.

This short video clip summarizes NOAA's annual State of the Climate Report for 2009. It presents a comprehensive summary of Earth's climate in 2009 and establishes the last decade as the warmest on record. Reduced extent of Arctic sea ice, glacier volume, and snow cover reflect the effects of rising global temperature.
In this activity, students explore real data about renewable energy potential in their state using a mapping tool developed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) to investigate the best locations for wind energy, solar energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass.
This is a five-activity module that explores the evidence for and impacts of melting glacial ice, with resources from major institutions and scientists who study glaciers -- primarily in Arctic areas. The suite of activities includes both glaciers and melting ice, as well as the impact of melt water downstream. Each activity follows the 5E model of Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation.
This interactive displays how climate variables are changing over time (temperature, CO2, Arctic sea ice, solar flux, etc.) in graphical form. Students can examine data over the last 20 years or archived data.
In this hands-on activity, students examine how the orientation of a photovoltaic (PV) panel -- relative to the position of the sun -- affects the energy-efficiency of the panel.
This activity engages learners in exploring the impact of climate change on arctic sea ice in the Bering Sea. They graph and analyze sea ice extent data, conduct a lab on thermal expansion of water, and then observe how a scientist collects long-term data on a bird population.
This activity explores how the topic of climate change is represented in various forms of writing, from scholarly articles to opinion pieces and works of fiction. While the content does not emphasize climate science itself, it instead allows students to focus on how the science is being portrayed.
In this activity learners work in pairs or small groups to evaluate energy use in their school and make recommendations for improved efficiency. Students create and use an energy audit tool to collect data and present recommendations to their class. Further communication at the school and district level is encouraged.
This is an interactive website that provides descriptive information and data related to ten key climate indicators. These climate indicators and related resources show global patterns and data that are intuitive and compelling teaching tools.
In this activity, students use climate data to develop a simple graph of how climate has changed over time and then present the result in a blog, emphasizing effective science communication.


text: I knew this hive was dead. I stopped seeing activity and didn't hear the buzzing when I knocked. I was waiting for a break in the weather to take a peek. All bees were dead but there were not very many at all. Don't think they starved, I did not see hardly any with their butts sticking up. There was 2 deeps and a medium to overwinter. As of today, the bottom deep had at least 4 frames full on honey, the upper deep was packed full of honey and the super was also untouched. The bottom board had some bees dead (but not alot) and there was a small cluster (100-200??) in the upper deep near the front of the hive. I did not see any brood at all. This was a brand new package last spring. I did attach a couple of pictures. I saw these white granules in the cells all over the hive. It looked like they were in there with honey that was uncapped. Don't know if this is crystalized honey or mites or what?? Any ideas would definitely help me learn from my mistakes....thanks.

Higher education has $2 billion annual impact
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 28, 2006)--A study released today by the Higher Education Council of San Antonio (HECSA) calculates that higher education is a significant economic generator for San Antonio and surrounding communities, contributing $2.2 billion annually.
According to the study conducted by the Institute for Economic Development at The University of Texas at San Antonio, more than 100,000 students attend the 31 institutions of higher education in and around San Antonio.

"The array of San Antonio's institutions of higher education is a draw for both personal achievement and new economic development," said Tessa Martinez-Pollack, president of Our Lady of the Lake University and chairman of the Higher Education Council of San Antonio. "This study shows the impact of higher education spending as another dimension of our contribution to the local economy."
The study indicates that direct spending (operating expenses, capital, faculty and staff salaries/benefits and student spending) by higher education institutions in San Antonio accounted for $1.5 billion in 2004.
Additional expenditures in the local economy in the form of consumer spending by faculty, staff and students for housing, food, services and other items resulted in an additional impact of nearly $800 million.
Additionally, the study found that higher education institutions in the San Antonio metropolitan area generated 24,851 jobs in 2004, accounting for 3.3 percent of all non-farm jobs.
Commissioned by HECSA and conducted by the Center for Community and Business Research at the UTSA Institute for Economic Development, the results of the study were announced at a luncheon sponsored by the San Antonio Greater Chamber of Commerce and the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Established in 1974, the Higher Education Council of San Antonio promotes and develops higher education in San Antonio and Bexar County through inter-institutional collaboration and engagement with the business, cultural, political and K-12 leadership of the community.

How Does Your Immune System Work?
Your immune system works because your body is able to recognize "self" and "non-self." This means that your body is able to tell if an invader (virus, bacteria, parasite, or other another person's tissues) has entered it—even if you aren't consciously aware that anything has happened. Your body recognizes this invader and uses a number of different tactics to destroy it.
Major Players of the Immune System
Lymph nodes (also called "lymph glands"): These small, bean-shaped structures are part of your lymphatic system. That system is made up of tissues and organs (bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes) that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease, along with the clear fluid, lymph, that carries those cells to different parts of the body. Lymph nodes filter the lymphatic fluid and store special cells that can trap cancer cells or bacteria that are traveling through your body in the lymph fluid. Lymph nodes are critical for your body's immune response and many of your immune reactions begin there. When you have an infection, your lymph nodes can get larger and feel tender or sore.
Thymus: A small organ located just behind your breastbone. This is where your T-cells mature (That's why they are called T-cells. The "T" is for "thymus.")
Spleen: The largest lymphatic organ in the body—it's about the size of your fist. Your spleen is located in the upper-left part of your abdomen. It contains white blood cells that fight infection or disease. Your spleen also helps control the amount of blood in your body and destroys old and damaged blood cells.
Bone Marrow: The yellow tissue in the center of your bones that is responsible for making white blood cells that are destined to become lymphocytes.
Lymphocytes: A small white blood cell that plays a large role in defending the body against disease. There are two main types of lymphocytes: B-cells and T-cells. B-cells make antibodies that attack bacteria and toxins. T-cells help destroy infected or cancerous cells attack body cells themselves when they have been taken over by viruses or have become cancerous.
The Immune System in Action
Your immune system has many different ways of fighting off foreign invaders. When confronted with a virus, your body responds by activating specific processes of the immune system. First your body recognizes a foreign antigen and delivers it to the lymph system, where it is ingested by a macrophage.
Then the macrophage processes the virus and displays the antigens for that particular virus on its own exterior. This antigen then signals a helper T- cell.
Next the T-cell reads this signal and sounds the alarm for other parts of your immune system to respond.
The B-cell responds to this call and comes to read the antigen from the surface of the macrophage.
The B cell then becomes activated and produces millions of antibodies that are specific to the antigen. These antibodies are released into your body to attach to the virus particles.
These antibodies are important because the invading virus may outnumber your own immune system cells. The antibodies attach to the antigens and hold on tight.
These antibodies then send a signal to other macrophages and other immune cells to come and engulf and destroy the antibody and whatever it has captured.
The final stage of your immune response involves the suppressor T-cell. Once the number of invaders has dropped significantly and the infection has resolved, the suppressor T-cell will signal the other cells of the immune system to rest. This is important as prolonged activation of your immune response could eventually lead to damage to your healthy cells.
How HIV Affects This Complex Process
HIV disrupts this process by directly infecting the helper T-cells. Your initial immune response does get rid of a great deal of HIV, but some of it manages to survive and infect these important cells. Once the infected helper T-cells are activated, they work to create new viruses instead of doing the job they are supposed to do in your immune system. In addition, many helper T-cells are destroyed in the HIV replication process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a T-cell and a CD4 cell?
A CD4 cell is a specific type of T-cell. This is why some clinicians use the term interchangeably.
Do our bodies make antibodies to HIV infection?
Yes. In fact, most HIV tests look for those antibodies to indicate that you have been infected with HIV. But, for very complex biological reasons, human antibodies to HIV are not very effective at neutralizing the virus once you have been infected with it.

Good shooting there Mr Spacedoggy and your right when you can set things up like that.
The Range I go to I dont utilize very well. I have permission to go to the areas regular member cant go or dont even know about. They are set aside for the IPSC and IDPA matches. I have the combo so I just drive back there and have 5 shooting areas surrounded by burmes on three sides. They have target holders and the good stuff is locked up. I plan on making my own target holder out of pvc and 1by2 wood. I saw one this guy made with small PVC and he used sand to weight it down. He could fit eight in his car and easy to set up. I went with nothing but had cardboard in the back of my truck. I took two of the ten holders they have there and made a simple target with the black one being the hostage and the red one being the bad guy. Cant wait to head to home depot and make my own. I then took the Beretta CX4 with eotech and took aim from the hood of the car like a standoff and I got the green light to shoot, Im by myself so Im talking to myself. Took 11 shots and all were good hits. The first three pictures show you where I shot from and the target. The fourth picture was a one shot taken with a Sig p239 in 9mm. What a fine shooting piece of equipment.
I then ran a little ways to get the heart rate up so when I get on target it will be more of a Challenge when I shoot. I had the Beretta CX4 and ran around the inside of the burm and took position on the left of the hostage and took all 11 shots. These are the next three pictures. Have a few more but dont want to bore you.
It is so much more fun to shoot from your car inside or out and have an area that you can setup situations. I will be getting one of those timers for when my son comes home. Have a few guys I shoot with at the range that I trust and will make plans on getting them back there. It will be nice to run into a situation you dont know about and see what happens. All this done with the utmost safety in mind. Guess I need to start thing on how and what Im shooting next.
Good shooting there Mr Spacedoggy and your right when you can set things up like that.
Now that sounds like a good time.
I just got back and had a better time tonight but forgot the camera. When I got to the range there were 3 guys setting up to shoot. Ive talked a few times with them and asked if they would like to setup across the stream. I saw their eye light up. Told them what I did last night and they packed up and drove back there.
We all setup the targets and had 6 bad guys, two of them with hostages and three bystanders within a foot or two of a bad guy. Then I had one of them drive to the other berm. We even used these white and blue barrels so you could take cover. We set everything up so the person waiting did not know how it was setup.
We agreed to time it and if you hit a good guy 5 seconds were taken off. We all left the berm and the timing started when I yell stop. We were very safe and out of the way.
I forgot their name except for Jim who went first. He was good and used a Beretta 92F. He hit each bad guy 2 times. He did it all in 19 sec. He knew he had to shoot 3 bad guys from the hood and then take cover behind the barrels.
I was the next using my PX4. They changed thing around and I did it in 25 sec with one miss, one hostage shoot nail him right in the X.
The first guy won the first round then we decided to have more running in it and had to take a head shoot on the first one from the hood and we counted the numbers on the targets. We had to shoot one from the hood which had to be a head shot and belly, two from the first two barrels and one from the last barrel. Total of six bad guys hit twice.
I had the longest time of 35 seconds but I had the highest score. We all felt it was not really fair because you could take your time aiming to get a higher score. We also felt everyone tried to go as fast as they could. They knew my speed was because of my back and age.
The best part was after and discussing it. Those guys felt it was the most fun they ever had shooting so they got my number and want to do it again in two weeks. They all have to wait on pay checks to buy ammo. I told them we will use an AR next time or the CX4 which none of them knew about and I will take care of the ammo on those. We still will be using pistols. They are going to put plans on paper so I showed them other stuff we can use like a door and moveable walls.
They left with smiles that looked like their faces were going to crack open. Mine too.

Ok, I'll post the first reply. just some answers to your retorical questions and futher observations.
first - i don't care what sights you have on the weapon, it will put a hole exactly where the gun is pointing when it goes "bang". This includes fancy laser sights and scopes. It is up to you to adjust the aiming to match your sighting.
Second - if it don't stink, it ain't gonna work! Muratic acid works much better than apple vinegar when you want to etch something. Tolulene is a much better cleaner than nail polish! i don't realy want that piney- fresh smell in my GSR.
third - if you had to deal with a bunch of Mall Ninjas every day, it has to wear you down. I think a lot of people come into gun shops wanting "confirmation" of their opinion and not advice. it is amazing the change in attitude when you can honestly as for advice, and accept what you hear.(with a grain of salt of course)
