Armouries finds England's lost king – Richard III - Monday, 4 February 2013
Royal Armouries' curator Bob Woosnam-Savage formed part of an expert team that today confirmed the identity of the "skeleton in the car park" as those of England's last king to fall in battle – Richard III.
Britain's oldest public museum and home to the national collection of arms and armour has played a crucial part in today's historic announcement, confirming Richard's identity – nearly 530 years after his death.
Bob, Curator of European Edged Weapons, played a key role in investigating the lost king's battle-related trauma, and attempting to identify some of the possible weapons used to kill the last of the Plantagenets.
Under international academic and media scrutiny, historians and scientists have spent the past five months testing a human skeleton, unearthed during an archaeological project at the former site of Greyfriars Church in Leicester – formerly hidden in an unmarked grave, below a council car park.
Bob was invited to join the Greyfriars' project by the University of Leicester and has been working to help identify Richard, using his expert knowledge of medieval weapons.
Historians believe Richard was buried at Greyfriars after his death at the Battle of Bosworth, in 1485 but his corpse was disinterred during the Dissolution. His human remains have never been identified – until today (Monday, February 4).
Here Bob takes up the story of what historians now believe were the final minutes of Richard III – slain by the army of Henry Tudor, father of Henry VIII.
Bob said, "What we have is a very tentative, first attempt to try and create a possible narrative reconstructing the last minutes and death of Richard III, the last king of England to die in battle. It is extremely important to bear in mind that this is exactly that; a first attempt. It will no doubt evolve as more is discovered.
"My narrative that follows is a synthesis, based upon various elements from the historical accounts – the veracity of each is a discussion for another time – and what we presently understand the evidence the skeleton may possibly suggest. The scenario offered suggests just one possible scenario. Material from existing histories is written in italics.
"Richard was described as leading a mounted charge against Henry Tudor in an attempt to kill him. Cutting down Tudor's standard bearer, Sir William Brandon, there is the possibility Richard's momentum was stalled by marshy ground, a feature confirmed by the recent archaeology of the Bosworth battlefield. His horse stuck, or slain, Richard, fully armoured, continues fighting manfully on foot, maybe only a few feet away from his intended target, Henry Tudor.
"However, the tide of battle had seemingly already begun to turn as Stanley's forces decided to side with Tudor, and they came down upon the Plantagents and Richard. Tudor's own bodyguard would have been defending him as well and so, within a very short space of time, Richard could have found himself outnumbered and in the press of his enemies. But then what?
"His armour, successfully protecting him up to this time, probably began to fail under ferocious attack. There is no evidence to say how long this sustained attack lasted but at some point it would appear that his helmet was forcibly removed (possibly cut or ripped away). It is perhaps from these moments that the skeleton appears to begin to provide some glimpses of a possible scenario, regarding the dying moments of Richard III.
"At this time, Richard immediately receives more blows; a number of individual wounds from bladed weapons to the head, particularly to the top and rear of the skull, indicate a sustained and repeated attack on an unprotected head, one particularly massive blow possibly proving fatal. That particular blow could well have been delivered by a staff weapon such as a halberd. Other blows, including a penetrating wound to the top of the skull, and another to the base, both again probably dealt to an unprotected head, appear to have been perhaps delivered either near, or at the point of, death, with Richard possibly finally keeling over in a kneeling position or even lying semi-prone on the ground (although the body position must remain speculative at this time). This trauma to the head certainly would appear to fit accounts that include descriptions such as his head was shaved and that his brains came out with blood.
"However the skeleton bears other wounds which, if it were that of Richard, can only be explained as having been delivered after any armour was removed from the body and therefore probably after the king was presumably already near death, or dead. These 'insult injuries' might have included the small stab wound to the face; a stab in the back from behind, which struck a rib and, perhaps most tellingly of all, a stab wound, possibly delivered with a knife or dagger, to the buttocks. This last, insulting, blow could easily have been delivered to king's body by an infantryman with a bladed weapon after it had been slung over the back of a horse, 'with the armes and legges hanging down on both sides', as he was borne to Leicester.
"A point of interest is that compared to a number of the dead from the Battle of Towton (1461), the face itself seems to bear comparatively little trauma. This may be of significance as the body of the king was subject to at least two days of exposure, from the time of his death to his burial. One of the reasons for such exposure, which was not exceptional at this time, was to allow an individual's death to be witnessed and accepted – a severely damaged or unidentifiable face, preventing recognition, would obviously largely defeat this purpose.
"Finally it should be borne in mind that the trauma to the skeleton (over 10 wounds) must be regarded as an under enumeration of the number of wounds the body originally sustained – for Richard may well have borne wounds to the soft tissue , which have not been preserved. The state of his body would therefore no doubt have matched descriptions which say Richard was all besprinkled with mire and blood.
"We are obviously aware of how previous historians, including Murray Kendall, have been vilified for attempting to create such an account but with the discovery of the skeleton we are now approaching a time when we can indeed begin to create such a picture with a degree of accuracy, especially as all of the identified traumas are indeed consistent with what we know about the death and subsequent treatment of the corpse of Richard III. However to reiterate, this is only a first attempt to contextualise what has been discovered so far and more work, from me and others, will without doubt follow.
"This has been an excellent example of everyone working together within the research team. Our real work is now only beginning."
Since its excavation the Greyfriars' skeleton has been studied for four months by a number of different specialists, working in in diverse areas such as DNA testing, carbon-dating, dental tests to establish diet, osteology and forensic pathology.
Bob is available for interviews at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds tomorrow (Tuesday, February 5) or by prior arrangement by telephone. For his biographical details, please see the editors' notes.

Welcome to the HandGunForum.net!
Yes, the ammo situation is a bummer, especially for new shooters. If you have a local Walmart that sells ammo, you might try there late in the evening (if you're a night owl) or first thing in the morning (if you're an early bird). They get the new shipments out on the floor sometime around 11 PM to midnight, and if any decent ammo comes in, it goes out rather quickly. Some/most days there will be nothing, or nothing you need, but other times, you might get lucky. I found some .22 ammo just last night, along with a box of .40 for my Glocks. A week ago, I picked up several boxes of 9mm. So, they are getting stuff, but sometimes all of it is gone before many folks get to the store, so they assume nothing is coming in at all.

ACTA is an independent, non-profit organization committed to academic freedom, excellence, and accountability at America's colleges and universities.
They underscore a belief that a shared understanding, a shared knowledge, helps unify and advance civilization. Indeed, the American system is uniquely premised on the need for an educated citizenry. Embarking on the experiment of a democratic republic, the Founders viewed public education as central to the ability to sustain a participatory form of government. In recent years, however, there has been a breakdown in the belief that shared learning is important. Higher education has tended to focus more on a long list of electives than a common core of learning.
"Our scheme of government and of life can succeed only if ... men and women will engage in careful, enthusiastic, and guided study of common values, common dangers, and common opportunities."
America's colleges and universities educate almost two-thirds of our citizens, including all of our school teachers, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and public leaders. They set the admissions and curricular requirements that signal to students, teachers, parents, and the public what every educated citizen in a democracy must know. If colleges and universities no longer require comprehensive curricula that introduce students to the major areas of study, we are all in danger of losing a common frame of reference that has sustained our free society for generations.
ACTA's 2012-13 What Will They Learn? report evaluated 1,070 colleges and universities, public and private, and found a staggering 86%, in this age of globalization, do not require intermediate-level foreign language study of their baccalaureate graduates. 82% do not require a basic course in U.S. history and institutions that prepare students for informed citizenship. At 38% of the institutions, students can graduate without taking a college-level mathematics course, and at 97%, students can leave without study in one of the most urgent topics of contemporary life—Economics.
ACTA's 2007 report, Vanishing Shakespeare, surveyed English curricula at 70 top universities and found that only 15 required their English majors to take a course on Shakespeare. Instead, they are offering electives on children's books, food, film, and sex. In 2000, ACTA released its eye-opening report, Losing America's Memory, which revealed 81% of seniors from the top 55 U.S. colleges and universities failed a high school level history exam, and that none of the institutions surveyed required a course in American history. Three-quarters required no history at all. Do students know these subjects already? In a Roper survey commissioned by ACTA in the fall of 2012, regrettably college students proved they have immense gaps in their understanding of history and civics.
ACTA is dedicated to urging colleges and universities to adopt strong, liberal-arts-based core curricula. A solid core curriculum ensures that every student receives a basic grounding in the major fields of human knowledge. It directs the energy of the institution to sound educational values: on knowledge of content, great books and major achievements, and on teaching what students need to know. And it enables students to live thoughtful lives informed by such study. ACTA has worked successfully to support programs and policies that encourage high academic standards and strong curricula. ACTA opposes practices that threaten or undermine academic standards and believes that the mission of higher education is teaching, learning, and the pursuit of truth.

The outlay for children's education is the second largest family expense—second only to buying a house. And student loan debt now surpasses credit card debt. Meanwhile, our graduation rates are below those of almost every other OECD nation..
While families are paying more, they are receiving less, with survey after survey showing troubling declines in adult literacy and skills. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy found that the majority of college-educated American adults cannot understand texts such as newspaper editorials or do the calculations necessary to understand the cost per ounce of food items. Professors Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa in their groundbreaking work, Academically Adrift, found that nearly half of students had little or no cognitive gain in their first two years of college; over a third (38%) had little or no learning gains in four years.
A recent poll by Public Agenda found that the public's confidence in higher education is rapidly eroding. Nearly 80% of Americans believe students have to incur too much debt for college, and only 44% believe students get their money's worth. Nearly half said that public higher education should be "fundamentally overhauled."
"ACTA [is] the most important and creative organization in higher education, one that supports high academic standards ... and institutional accountability. There is a great need for a national organization that oversees this field."
ACTA has been at the forefront of a long-overdue accountability revolution in higher education. Parents and citizens are asking hard questions about quality and costs. The public and their elected officials are looking for better information about educational results. They want to ensure that higher education is getting the "biggest bang for the buck" in meeting their state's needs and they want trustees to do a better job of representing the interests of students, parents, and taxpayers.
ACTA is demanding accountability—and is reaching out to parents, taxpayers, alumni, donors, policymakers and trustees to ensure excellence and affordability around the country.
Colleges and universities must explain what they are doing and document that they are doing it well. Greater information and disclosure enable parents, students, alumni, and taxpayers to evaluate colleges' performance. ACTA's What Will They Learn?™ project gives college-bound students, their parents, along with high school guidance counselors, key data on the academic quality of over 1,070 colleges and universities including evaluation of the core curricular requirements, graduation rates, tuition costs, and use of nationally normed assessments of academic progress for each institution.
Through publications and seminars, ACTA provides trustees with the independent information they need to be effective fiduciaries of their institutions with final authority for the fiscal, academic, and social well-being of the campuses they oversee. ACTA's series of trustee guides from our Institute for Effective Governance focus on such issues as identifying and eliminating outdated or low enrollment courses; employing new technologies; using the campus year-round; utilizing buildings efficiently and scheduling classes when students need them; identifying incentives for faculty to teach more courses; controlling growth in administrative costs; monitoring academic standards and stopping grade inflation; and developing effective policies to control alcohol and substance abuse on campus. ACTA's seminars for trustees, jointly directed with the Aspen Institute, help trustees understand and contextualize their duties within the historical tradition of academic excellence.
ACTA works with governors and legislators throughout the nation, providing information through our series of state reports and guides outlining careful practices for cost and effectiveness. ACTA staff have given testimony and presentations on cost control and challenges facing American higher education at conferences sponsored by governors and high-level state education officials in Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Maine, Texas, and Colorado. ACTA has also developed publications to help policymakers understand changes in the Higher Education Act and the recommendations of the Spellings Commission in order to stay abreast of accountability issues at the national level.
Alumni and donors can let administrators and faculty know that they support high academic standards, cost-effective academic management, and intellectual diversity. They can advocate change through concerned alumni groups and can provide targeted gifts that are designed to provide students with rich educational options they would not have otherwise. ACTA's Intelligent Donor's Guide to College Giving helps prospective donor make such informed choices, and has won praise from the Philanthropy Roundtable.

Today the greatest threat to academic freedom comes from within the academy. Students report feeling intimidated by professors and fellow students if they question politically correct ideas. In some cases, students have been subject to official sanctions for speaking their minds in class. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education finds that hundreds of colleges have adopted speech codes or sensitivity requirements that threaten free speech and academic freedom. Professors have been removed and punished for violating the norms of political correctness.
"What universities can and must resist are deliberate, overt attempts to impose orthodoxy and suppress dissent. ... In recent years, the threat of orthodoxy has come primarily from within rather than from outside the university."
ACTA believes this internal threat to academic freedom must be challenged. At the practical level, we must find ways to defend those professors, as well as students, whose academic freedom is threatened by those who disagree with their views. ACTA's publications argue for a return to our intellectual moorings, the time-tested understanding of intellectual freedom. No fanaticism, no ideology, no political passion has the right to suppress free minds in the pursuit of truth, which is the lifeblood of the academy. ACTA is working to engage alumni and donors, trustees, and state leaders in this fight.
ACTA is quick to intervene when colleges and universities jeopardize the academic freedom of faculty or students. Our correspondence with governing boards and press statements include the University of Wyoming, Hamilton College, Butler University, the University of Connecticut, St. Cloud University, the University of Texas, Columbia University, Ohio University, and many others. ACTA upholds First Amendment rights on campus without regard to belief or position, including the controversial and unpopular.
ACTA took a leading role in persuading CUNY to reverse the blatantly political denial of tenure to the distinguished historian Robert "KC" Johnson. We work closely with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) to intervene when free speech is threatened. ACTA's report on California, Best Laid Plans, incorporates FIRE's findings on campus speech codes. From its earliest days, ACTA has spoken out to protect the freedom of student newspapers to write and publish without harassment. And ACTA regularly participates in conferences of the American Association of University Professors, advocating greater faculty responsibility for enforcement of the professional standards that ensure intellectual diversity and campus-wide academic freedom.
ACTA provides trustees with the tools they need to understand academic freedom and to take positive actions to protect and foster it. In April 2013, ACTA held a conference on academic freedom for trustees at the historic Union League in New York City. With the guidance of Benno Schmidt, chairman of the CUNY Board of Trustees, law professors Donald Downs of the University of Wisconsin, Philip Hamburger of Columbia University, and Neil Hamilton of the University of St. Thomas, trustees and policymakers examined relevant case studies, gaining the skills and knowledge to protect intellectual diversity and academic freedom on their own campuses. ACTA published an extensive companion guide to the conference, Free to Teach, Free to Learn, with detailed commentary by contributors including former president of Harvard University Larry Summers, co-founders of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate, United State Circuit Court Judge José Cabranes, and the several legal scholars who led sessions at the academic freedom conference.
ACTA's 2005 report Intellectual Diversity: Time for Action, raises awareness of the principles and longstanding American tradition of academic freedom and the assaults it now faces. ACTA's 2009 publication, Protecting the Free Exchange of Ideas: How Trustees Can Advance Intellectual Diversity on Campus, gives governing boards ideas drawn from current best practices of how to foster and advance academic freedom. ACTA has counseled trustees to be vigilant in protecting students from residential life programs that include intrusive and inappropriate interrogation of their sexual, religious, and political values. ACTA has also provided trustees with technical advice on the recent Supreme Court decision CLS v. Martinez that could affect the prerogatives of campus student associations.
ACTA carefully surveys students on issues of academic freedom and intellectual diversity using highly reliable polling organizations. These studies, on both a national and state level, show an alarmingly high percentage of students who believe they must agree with their professors to get a good grade and who find the classroom a place of political indoctrination. Results have been sent to trustees, state legislators, and members of the higher education committees of the U.S. Congress. ACTA staff have given testimony in a number of states, including Pennsylvania, Missouri, Montana, Georgia, and South Dakota, often on pending legislative initiatives.
For over a decade, ACTA has called for the restoration of ROTC to college and university campuses, arguing that not only does ROTC serve the nation, but it also enriches the curriculum and discourse of higher education. A campus chapter of ROTC means students will have exposure to the varied careers in national defense and security that military service has to offer. ACTA has also raised awareness of the concurrent disappearance of teaching and research in military and diplomatic history, especially at elite universities, restricting the intellectual horizons of both students and faculty. ACTA has communicated with the governing boards of Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Tufts, Brown and Stanford and achieved real results, as each of these institutions has taken significant steps toward the full restoration of ROTC on campus.

But if you're going to play a Kojima game, you have to forgive him some excess. Besides, his indulgence is often matched only by his inspiration. After all these years, his casual dismissal of the fourth wall remains thrilling, almost illicitly so. His sense of humor shows in unexpected ways as well. One feature of Peace Walker is the Fulton Recovery System, a balloon-like item that Snake can attach to unconscious friends and foes, whereupon it whisks them into the sky for pick-up by helicopter. As a sight gag, it never fails.
The game also seems, initially, to make the right concessions to the portable format. Missions take about 15 minutes to complete the first time, less if you're replaying them for experience. Better still is what happens between missions, when Peace Walker offers up a bite-sized strategy game that's perfectly suited to handheld play.
Throughout, you recruit (or kidnap) soldiers to work at your base. Each has special abilities that can be upgraded through side missions, and each must be put to work in order to keep things running smoothly. Not only does the team back at the base build new weapons and items for Snake to use on the battlefield, but managing the base requires some top-level thought: you have to assign workers to the appropriate tasks while keeping everybody healthy and fed.
But it doesn't take long for problems to pop up. Peace Walker has absolutely bizarre controls, and though it does offer three different button layouts, each one sacrifices playability in a different way. I tried to stick with the default set-up, in which the PSP's analog nub controls Snake and the face buttons control the game camera. Forget that using digital input for precise movements such as aiming your weapon feels like stepping backward 15 years in time — using that waffle-textured nub for even a few minutes feels as if you were ripping the skin off your thumb.
And though they're adequate for the sneaking portions of the game, the controls really hurt during action sequences. Running and aiming is impossible with the default set-up. An included auto-aim function should help, but auto-aim in this context seems to mean that Snake simply disregards player input. When auto-aim is on, Snake will spin away from a foe standing directly in front of him in order to take aim at thin air.
So here's the real problem with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. By trying to translate the robustness of a console game to the handheld format, it eliminates the virtues of the former without fully taking advantage of the latter. It doesn't matter how deep the game systems are if the physical play is awkward. And the much-touted online co-op isn't much use if you play on the go, in a car or train away from wi-fi connectivity. You may be able to take this game anywhere, but you have to leave much of it behind. No big loss.

Royal Armouries welcomes new chairman - Tuesday, 20 December 2011
Global financier and private arms and armour collector Wesley Paul joins the Royal Armouries officially on January 3 as its new chairman.
He replaces long-standing chairman Ann Green CBE, who stepped down in the autumn after 13 highly successful years at the helm of Britain's oldest museum – home to the national collection of arms and armour.
Wesley said, "I am very excited to be offered this opportunity. I have believed for a very long time that arms and armour are under appreciated in our society, not just for their historical importance and contribution to the culture, heritage and character of our country but also in many cases as major art forms.
Who and what we are today has been shaped and formed by the legacy of the many people involved in the development and manufacture of our arms and armour and we should be proud to recognise, remember and celebrate their contributions. In my view, as works of art, some of the finest artisans in arms and armour are an equal match for any artists in any other fields.
The Royal Armouries, like all other publicly funded bodies, faces very difficult times ahead but we believe that with the right focus, innovation and energy that we can reach much wider audiences – to increase their awareness, to educate and entertain them."
Wesley has had a long career in global wealth management and finance and has lived and worked in London, Hong Kong and New York and has travelled extensively. He was born in Guyana in South America but came to London when he was very young and was educated in Britain.
He joined the offices of the American Bank, Morgan Guaranty of New York in London and rose through the ranks eventually becoming a Managing Director and Global Head of Investments for the parent company J.P. Morgan, based in New York where he had oversight for the firm's worldwide investment activities.
Wesley left J.P. Morgan prior to their merger with Chase Manhattan and established his own investment practice and has also remained heavily involved with advisory and project finance activities with a variety of international clients.
Highlights included the conceptual design, content development and business leadership for an Earth Sciences Museum in the Middle East.
Wesley recently established Firsthaven Partners – together with several retired, senior British and US military leaders – to assess and fund new technologies in the areas of critical national infrastructure security, biometrics, cyber technologies, food and water security and other defensive (specifically non-offensive) technologies.
Among his many interests, Wesley has been a student and collector of antique arms and armour with a specific focus on European firearms dating from the 16th century but also with pieces from Japan and China dating much earlier from the turn of the first millennium
He has a very strong passion for the subject believing it to be integral to the history, heritage and culture of societies and a key to their national identity. He lives in Surrey with his wife and two children.
Wesley joins the Royal Armouries today, taking over from interim chairman, General Lord Dannatt GCB CBE MC DL, who is also Constable of the Tower of London.
Director General and Master of the Armouries, Lieutenant-General Jonathon Riley said, "Wesley Paul brings enormous energy, influence and financial acumen to the Armouries.
He also owns a significant private collection of important historic firearms and therefore has considerable knowledge of our work and our collection. He is a very busy man with business interests in the UK, Europe, Asia, Middle East and North America and we are immensely lucky that he has agreed to take on this role. He is just the person we need in these difficult times.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lord Dannatt for offering his considerable expertise, hard work and enthusiasm while the new chairman was officially appointed."
The Royal Armouries has three British museums and is the first British museum to establish a permanent branch in the US.

A few key risers and fallers:
Faller: Teo
The NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah spoke with three Scouting Directors who all said Notre Dame senior ILB Manti Te'o will likely be selected in the top 15-25 picks.
15-25 sounds about right for a couple of reasons. First, Te'o projects as a good, not great, player at the position, but one that will anchor the middle of a defense for quite some time. Second, many non-pass rushing linebackers who are taken in the top ten do not pan out. Te'o will remain one of the most discussed prospects in this class.
Riser: Fluker
One NFL scout told the Chicago Tribune that Alabama RT D.J. Fluker projects as a "late first-rounder" in April's draft, while "others" anticipate Fluker will be drafted in the mid-first.
Fluker, listed at 6-foot-6, 335, compares favorably to Minnesota's Phil Loadholt as a right tackle prospect. "He is one of the biggest, most physically impressive kids I've ever seen," said one NFL personnel man. The Chicago Trib's Dan Pompei suggests Fluker could be an option for the Bears with the 20th overall pick in the draft. Fluker is expected to stay at right tackle in the pros.

text: Hello, I currently own a 2012 Chevy Tahoe LT. I am looking to replace the factory stock 17" rims and tires with 20" or 22" rims w/tires. What is the maxium size I can place on my stock 2012 Tahoe? I dont know much about the Tahoe and the rim sizes, I have done a little research and have found that you can put up to 24" rims on the Tahoe. But I was not sure if I need to add anything to the vehicle to get the 20" or 22" rims on? Will this cause rubbing against the car? Do I need to recalibrate the speedometer or anything? Any help would be great. Thanks

FORT WAYNE, Ind.—Spectators cheering each bridge as the "crusher" does its job is the highlight of the annual Engineers Week High School Bridge Contest, which takes place this Saturday, February 22.
Area high school students are challenged by the Northeast Indiana Engineer's Week Committee to design and build a bridge that will outlast the competition. Hosted by the Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) College of Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science (ETCS), the first bridges begin testing at 9:30 a.m. in the ETCS lobby. The public is welcome to watch the competing bridges as they are loaded until failure.
As part of Engineers Week at IPFW, the competition challenges students in the areas of engineering design, model construction, and creativity. Contestants build their bridges prior to the competition using a maximum of 200 Popsicle sticks and yellow wood glue. The lightest bridge to span a 24-inch gap holding the maximum load with minimum deflection (bend) wins. Students may enter as individuals or as a team with a maximum of three members. Prizes range from $100 to $250 from the Northeast Indiana Engineer's Week Committee and contributing sponsors.
Find rules, bridge specifications, and online registration at the Engineers Week website. This contest for high school students is free, but registration is required in order to participate.

The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program reserves a specific percentage of federal R&D funding for award to small business and non-profit research institution partners. Central to the program is expansion of the public/private sector partnership to include the joint venture opportunities for small business and the nation's premier nonprofit research institutions. Small business has long been where innovation and innovators thrive, but the risk and expense of conducting serious R&D efforts can be beyond the means of many small businesses. Non-profit research laboratories are also instrumental in developing high-tech innovations, but frequently innovation is confined to the theoretical. STTR combines the strengths of both entities by introducing entrepreneurial skills to high-tech research efforts. The technologies and products are transferred from the laboratory to the marketplace. The small business profits from the commercialization, which, in turn, stimulates the U.S. economy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- August 29, 2012
Contact: Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
JEFFERSON CITY---The Missouri Public Service Commission reminds residents to be prepared for storms and possible service interruptions in the wake of Hurricane Isaac. Current weather forecasts indicate storms from Isaac could hit Missouri by the end of the week.
"The remnants of Isaac could bring significant rainfall to Missouri and Illinois," said PSC Chairman Kevin Gunn. "We hope that it will just be a good soaking but weather events can be unpredictable and we want customers to be prepared in case these storms impact electric or natural gas service. Having a plan in place can provide you and your family some reassurance if a service interruption occurs."
Missouri's regulated utilities have formal, detailed plans in place that provide direction for responding to service interruptions when they occur. Each company's plans have been reviewed by the Missouri Public Service Commission. Having such plans and identified organizational resources and responsibilities is critical to restoring service as safely and as quickly as possible for the greatest number of customers.
"If you see a downed power line, assume that it is a live line….don't touch it and immediately call 911," said Gunn. He also reminds Missourians to:

With this week's production of "A Show of Force" exploring issues related to war and peace, the A.J. Muste Lecture Committee at Hope College has co-sponsored the play's appearance at Hope in lieu of scheduling an address this year.
Hosted by the department of theatre with additional campus support from the Hope College Patrons for the Arts, the play is taking place on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 17-18, at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center main theatre. Free tickets are available through the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse.
"Michele Bombe approached me with the idea last spring," said Brad Richmond, chairperson of the A.J. Muste Lecture Committee as well as professor of music and director of choral activities at Hope. "When I took it to the committee, we quickly came to consensus that we should use the fund to support bringing 'A Show of Force'to Hope this year. Although this veers somewhat from our tradition of bringing in a guest speaker, we have no doubt that Muste would have approved. It is a strong piece. A panel discussion will follow each performance and audience members will have the opportunity to weigh in."
The Muste lecture series began in 1985 to commemorate the life and work of A.J. Muste, an alumnus of Hope College (1905) who became a tireless activist for the causes of peace and justice.
Jane Oolmans Robinson, Muste's biographer, presented the inaugural lecture. Subsequent lectures have been given by theologians, peace activists, labor organizers and prison reformers; many of the speakers have been Hope College alumni.
Additional information about "A Show of Force" may be found in the release about the play itself that is also featured on the Hope Web site.

Invisible Homelessness
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Homelessness is probably not what you think it is. For the most part it's not people you see living under bridges or camping out by the creek. Most of the homeless are people you don't see. The numbers of these invisible homeless are skyrocketing.
Family homelessness is the invisible homelessness in this country, and in this community.
Donnis Martin with partners in housing says many families here in Colorado Springs are just one paycheck away from being homeless.
"You don't see these folks. They are not standing in the street corner. They are living with families, and they move from one family to another family until they have burned all their bridges and people can't support them anymore," said Martin.
The program Partners in Housing helps anyone, including individuals and families. They provide them homes at low rent and teach them how to stand on their own two feet once more.
Sharon Johnson is a recent graduate of the program. She is a happy positive woman with four children.
She was a young wife and mother, but then, a bombshell.
"On my 14th anniversary I found out he was engaged to someone else," said Johnson.
The stay at home mom filed for divorce, then her ex-husband stopped paying for their home, and foreclosure followed.
"Maybe I was a little naive; maybe I just didn't understand everything. I figured, I can do this; I can take care of my four kids; I can move on; I can get a job.
That's not what happened. Sharon hadn't worked outside the home before, and it was very difficult to make it to an interview.
They were like, 'What have you been doing for the last 15 years of your life,' and I'm like, 'I have been a mom. I have been taking care of my family,'" said Johnson.
Charity programs couldn't help, and Sharon was running out of time.
"No you are not in need yet. You have to be on the streets in order to qualify. I can't wait until me and my kids are on the streets," said Johnson of her experience with other charities.
Then, she met Donnis and Partners in Housing a few weeks before her family would have been left on the street. The program gave her and her four kids a nice place to live. Sharon went to school, worked and saved money. She now rents her own home, and continues to work and hit the books to become a certified social worker. Her children can hang out at home and be happy thanks to mom and Partners in Housing.
"Despite what happened, and how my marriage ended, and different things like that, I am still here 3 years later. I may not be exactly where I want to be in my life, but I am not where I use to be," said Johnson.
Partners in Housing has a 70% success rate. If you need help or know a family who does call 473-8890.

KLM celebrates its 94th birthday!
07 October 2013 | By annual tradition, KLM introduces a brand new Delft Blue house on 7 October.
Delft Blue miniature
As every year, we celebrate KLM's birthday by revealing a brand new KLM Delft Blue house. On the occasion of KLM's 94th anniversary we now add 'De Oudheidkamer' to the collection. This hostel on the Dutch island of Texel was built in 1599.
Throughout the centuries, travellers who had no other place to sleep were welcome to spend 3 nights in the house, where the hostel keeper and his family also provided meals to their guests.
'De Oudheidkamer' is now a local history museum.
Gift in Business Class
All World Business Class passengers receive a Delft Blue miniature house on board. The now famous replicas of real houses are avidly collected and exchanged.
With the KLM app for Delft Blue houses (for Android and iOS) you can easily keep track of your collection, read interesting background information on all houses and much more.

I'm looking at buying Photoshop and am curious what version I would need to do most of the photo editing that you see on this site and basic picture editing? I'm not a pro photographer and am not really into web design.
I'm looking at buying Photoshop and am curious what version I would need to do most of the photo editing that you see on this site and basic picture editing? I'm not a pro photographer and am not really into web design.
For basic Photoshopping you would probably do just fine with the latest version of Photoshop Elements which is basically a stripped down version of Photoshop but is much cheaper and easier to use and, from what I've read, more than adequate for the average consumer. I don't know how much you can do with Elements but it should be good enough for most basic photo editing work, if you want to get into serious retouching, restoration, and compositing work then you'd almost certainly need a full copy of Photoshop which I think is CS4. Be forewarned but that the regular edition of Photoshop will cost you several hundred dollars unless you can either qualify for an educational discount (teacher or student) or acquire through alternative means in which case it will cost you a whole lot less.
Ever try GIMP? It was originally made for Linux, but there's a version for Windows. It's free, and does quite a bit of the same work that Photoshop does.
I reccomend downloading a trial of either photoshop cs4, or photoshop elements and basing your opinion on that.
you can get away with elements. If you want to work with RAW files then you'll need photoshop to accept CR2 files. Also there is 3 different types of RAW now. sucks you need Cs4 to open them.
Depending what kind of photo editing you may want to also consider lightroom or apeture. If you want do seroius photo manipulation you need CS4
Thank you all. Some great info here.
big fan of cs3 myself. if you are a student you can get a educational discount on photoshop programs.
CS3 is nice but for most people Elements more than does the job especially since the full versions of Photoshop are really pricey, especially for light home use. I personally don't recommend buy the full version of Photoshop to anyone unless they can either get a copy for either cheap or free or plan to make money off of using it and thus get a return on their investment. But if you can get a copy for cheap of free I'd go for it because there's little that you can't do with Photoshop once you know what you're doing, about the only thing it can't do is make a small and/or really blurry image crystal sharp with a few clicks of the mouse like you see in the movies, that's pretty much all Hollywood.
I use Photoshop 7 for all of my artwork/photo editing, graphics/web desgin. But that's because I can't afford $700.00 for a new version.
I'm messing around with photohsop elements right now. I'm just a novice. It's fun.

CPJ urges U.S. not to prosecute Assange
Dear President Obama and Attorney General Holder: We write because of deep concern about reports that you are considering the prosecution of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange for publishing classified cables and other documents. Based on everything we know about these events, we urge you to avoid such action. Our concern flows not from an embrace of Assange's motives and objectives. Indeed, we wish that he would fully disclose his sources of financing and support. But the Constitution protects the right to publish information of important interest to the public. That right has been upheld through decades of American jurisprudence and has served the people well.

Movie Review: Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life
This biopic about the French musician may leave you wanting to drink and smoke yourself into oblivion, our critic writes.
Director: Joann Sfar
Rating: NR
Studio: Universal Pictures International
It's tempting to warn you not to bother hanging around with anyone to whom you'd have to explain the mythic status of quintessentially French songwriter-singer-provocateur Serge Gainsbourg, let alone that of his lovers who included Juliette Greco, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. But, trust us, you certainly don't want to see Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life with anyone so clueless.
The debut movie from graphic artist Joann Sfar is written and directed with such dreamlike style, comic assurance and Gitane-saturated sexiness that you may leave the theater wanting to drink and smoke yourself into oblivion, raise hell and indulge in epic sex for days on end. The French import takes Gainsbourg from his days as a cheeky, big-eared Jewish kid in occupied France to his worldwide fame, ugly self-absorption, abandonment of his wife and kids and virtually willing himself to die. It's part of artist Sfar's creative conceit to depict Gainsbourg as stalked throughout by "The Mug" (played by Doug Jones), a beak-nosed, rat-like doppelganger resembling a cross between Max Schreck in the 1922 classic Nosferatu and those hateful Nazi cartoon depictions of Jews.
Gainsbourg, whose so-called ugliness was dwarfed by blazing badass charisma and talent, is played—in a pair of astonishingly good performances—by Kacey Mottet Klein as the adolescent Gainsbourg, and Eric Elmosnino, who takes on the rebellious artist from young manhood to his 1991 death at age 62. The movie around them is decadent, erotic and highly entertaining, due in no small part to the pleasures of watching Anna Mouglalis as sensual singer and artist muse Juliette Greco, Laetitia Casta as the extraordinary movie icon Brigitte Bardot and the late Lucy Gordon as actress and "It" Girl Jane Birkin. Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life may not be the most incisive, definitive bio-movie you'll ever encounter—all that cigarette haze masks a number of shortcomings—but to see it is to be thoroughly and expertly seduced.

Oh and that new bill they passed granting illegals amnesty with a PREVAILING WAGE Guarantee!
Don't even get me started on that topic....
It's a shame that the idiots in Washington do not listen to what we want.

Is it right to dish out hundreds if not thousands of dollars to take you children ( under 12 ) to a Justin Beiber concert because it mea. everything to them, however meanwhile you complain to be stressed out on your financial situation and have asked for the help from other to include sending one of your children to summer church camp? Is it just me, or should the line be drawn between making yourself and your child happy and doing it at the expense of others? Please give me your opinion so I know if Im out of line or this is just crazy!

Had a hive with 2 deeps, the top deep was full of honey. Every thing seemed to be fine checked them a week later and the hive had honey running out on the ground. When I opened up the boxes, there was SHB larve every where and the bees had left the hive. I put all 20 frames in the freezer, they have been in there for 4 days now. I killed all the larve and SHB I found in the boxes and covers.
My question is once I thaw these frames out can I put then close to my bee yard and let the bees rob the honey out or would doing this contaminate the honey in my other hives?
Thank you for any help,

Only put screened #8 bottom boards on the traps if you can close them.
Bees like the bottom closed & the entrance small about 2"x 3/4", for traps.
Only put screened #8 bottom boards on the traps if you can close them.
Bees like the bottom closed & the entrance small about 2"x 3/4", for traps.
Drive a long skinny nail through the hole from the edge.
The problem that I found with 1/8" hardware cloth is that SHB can get in through it. If you're using a IPM and have an oil tray under it then it would be fine, but otherwise just leaving it open will enable the SHB to get away from the bees to enter whenever they like. It seemed to me that the hives that I had a SBB on vs. the ones that were solid tended to have more hive beetles. There could be 100 other reasons why this may have been, but unless you can use a smaller cloth I wouldn't use it wide open. I am only going to use a SBB now if I see a SHB problem and will dust with powdered sugar and have a oil pan under it. Just my 2c. (Ok .09 with inflation)
I'm surprised you have to worry about beetles in PA, their not a problem here yet.
One hive that died from stress I think. Here's a picture of the bottom board. Last winter being so mild I think is the reason why I was seeing SHB so bad. I'm hopefull that this year won't be as bad. 100_9298.jpg
I'm using upper entrances which is why I need to have the screened hole for any water that gets in to be able to get out. You'll see there are a good ammt. of HSB here. This doesn't obviously include the dead ones in the comb. I had traps in all of my hives last year and they were working also.
Year 2013 Model #1 is proving itself a big success. BeeWhisperer Bob in San Jose has lured in two so far. As it contains a few frames of foundation, there is little need for me to hurry down to move them into a bigger box. It will be interesting to see how the size of the swarms compares to the five framers caught there in the past. I think the next improvement should be screened feeder hole on top so that the host can immediately feed them, if I can be persuasive enough to get them to do so. That is the kind of friends we all need, ones that will catch the bees, move them to their site, and feed them.

Recent electricity pricing argues for faster, more extensive deregulation.
Sean Casten is the president and CEO of Recycled Energy Development, a developer of waste-heat recovery and cogeneration facilities, based in Westmont, Ill. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recent electricity pricing argues for faster, more extensive deregulation.
Was restructuring a success? Prices provide a dispassionate analysis, showing that restructuring was poorly designed, badly executed, and focused on the wrong part of the grid. With those lessons learned, it's time to explore ways to move forward.
Recent electricity price increases have prompted disparate organizations to issue self-serving declarations about whether deregulation is to blame. The Electric Power Supply Association, representing competitive power suppliers, claims market-oriented reforms have benefited consumers, while the American Public Power Association, representing municipal utilities that want to maintain their control of local markets, argues the opposite.
Fortunately, prices provide a dispassionate analysis. They illustrate that restructuring was poorly designed and badly executed, and it focused on the wrong part of the grid. An analysis of prices also suggests new directions for electricity market regulation (see sidebar, "A Model for Reform") .
Restructuring Started to Work
Some state officials have blamed price spikes on deregulation, giving us a readily testable proposition: Have price increases in restructured states exceeded those in states that chose not to restructure?
The National Regulatory Research Institute (NRRI) at Ohio State University has characterized the status of electric restructuring according to the map shown in Figure 1 (see "Restructuring in the States") . This map provides us with two differentiable populations to compare: The states that fully restructured (as the NRRI defines the term) and the states that remained traditionally regulated.
New Hampshire, California, New York, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania in 1996 were the first state legislatures to pass restructuring bills. However, wholesale access began in 1992 with that year's Federal Energy Policy Act. Political discussions at the state level over the next several years gave regulated utilities time to contemplate and plan for a restructured future, even before state legislation was official. Therefore, an analysis of changes in retail-power prices will focus on the period from 1992 to 2005 (the most recent year for which complete data is available). If deregulation caused prices to increase, we would expect to see a greater increase in prices in states that restructured their utility industries.
However, the data shows exactly the opposite (see Figure 2, "Retail Prices: Regulated vs. Restructured States, 1992-2005") . Note first that in both regulated and restructured states, electric prices have risen at a slower rate than inflation. This is consistent with broader U.S. power trends from 1982 to 2000, where inflation-adjusted electricity costs have fallen every year. But specific to our comparison, the regulated states actually show a 30 percent greater increase in power prices than those that restructured.
This is all the more remarkable given the restructured (largely Northeastern) states long have been more dependent on natural gas than many Central and Southern states that remained regulated. Thus, price increases have been lower in the restructured states in spite of greater increases in power-plant fuel costs.
Specifically, as of 2005,

The New Zealand Davis Cup team wrapped up their Asia/Oceania Group II first round tie against Lebanon at North Harbour today.
Dan King-Turner and Artem Sitak took less than an hour each to win the reverse singles, dropping only nine games between them as New Zealand competed a 5-0 whitewash.
The final day of the tie once again showed the disparity between New Zealand's professionals and the travelling part-time players, with Kiwi team captain Alistair Hunt praising his side for staying focused instead of taking the foot off the pedal.
"It was a nice quick day," he said. "I think it's just good for the boys that they stayed focused and did what they had to do. The scoreline shows that sort of stuff and that's a positive from our point of view."
King-Turner beat Lebanon No 3 Ibrahim Abou Chahine 6-0 6-1 in 45 minutes, while Artem Sitak dispatched the Lebanon No 2 Michael Massih 6-0 6-0 in 38 minutes. The matches cemented a record for the fewest number of games conceded overall for the New Zealand team in a Davis Cup victory.
New Zealand will now play either Pakistan or Sri Lanka in April. The final of Group II will be held in September, with Thailand or the Philippines likely to come through in the bottom half of the draw.
"We've just got to sit down now when we find out when and where we're playing and who we're playing," Hunt said. "And map out a good schedule for guys in the team and go from there see where everyone is.
"This next tie is all about winning and we've got to get the best team on the park and go from there. We'll just move on and try and go bigger and better for next time."

Skip the semi-sweet retreats and head straight for dark-chocolate decadence with an Escape to Hammer Creek Hideaway Bed & Breakfast.
Stay for two evenings at this Pennsylvania Dutch Country B&B, and savor every morsel of your holiday in the Prestige Suite ($207), complete with a king-size bed, plus a private bath with his-and-hers sinks and large soaking tub.

Sprinkle in some time in Lancaster's downtown area, where you can take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride after picking up some goodies at Central Market, the oldest continually running farmers' market in the country.
"Whether you're into organic vegetables or decadent fudge, this is the place," a market-goer swears. "We saw everything from foie gras to Gummi bears. There's plenty of food to eat on the spot as well as take away to cook."
On the way back to the B&B, spice up a vanilla wardrobe with a trip to Lancaster's fashion outlets featuring the latest in designer labels at discounted prices.

where is it located?
If anyone has traps and needs an ATV, lemme know. All my rigs are in Ville Platte but my bike is here in BR.
Would highly recommend an ATV. Makes it a lot easier and cuts down on time. It would have sucked carrying an ice chest, 35lbs of crawfish, nets and all other accessories a mile back to the truck after we were finished.
The South Farm area of the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is open to recreational crawfishing from April 1 to July 31. The South Farm area is located on the eastern side of the Sherburne WMA, which is approximately 20 miles from Baton Rouge.
From Baton Rouge take Interstate 10 West, then take the Ramah exit and travel on the levee road north about 2 miles. After passing two cattle guards, take the levee ramp across the levee to where a parking area is located. From Hwy. 190 travel approximately 13 miles south on the East Guide Levee Road to the South Farm entrance.
"The South Farm area is a great place to spend a day outdoors with your family catching crawfish," said LDWF Wildlife Biologist Tony Vidrine. "A family could catch enough crawfish from the South Farm area for a good quality crawfish boil."
Anyone between the ages of 16 and 59 using the WMA must possess one of the following: a Wild Louisiana Stamp, a valid Louisiana fishing license, or a valid Louisiana hunting license. Persons 15 and younger or older than 60 years of age are exempt from this requirement.
Recreational crawfishing is limited to set nets or recreational wire traps with a 100-pound limit per vehicle or boat per day. Crawfishing is allowed from daylight to dark seven days a week.
For anyone utilizing recreational wire traps, a valid basic fishing and recreational gear license must be in their possession and each trap must be tagged with name and recreational license number.
Only 35 recreational traps are allowed per license, and no traps or nets may be left overnight. Also, no motorized watercraft are allowed on the South Farm complex. Walk-in or ATV access is provided to the crawfish ponds from the parking area. ATV's may be used on limestone roads only and not beyond NO ATV warning signs.
