Whole house insulation advice...
We are renovating our 1600 sq ft. house. It is stripped to the studs and joists. There was no insulation at all anywhere in the house. The question is what is the best quality and most cost affective insulation to go back with. I was thinking just bat the walls and blow in the attic insulation with baffles on the sides. However, I am wondering about possibly using rigid foam? Is this a good idea, how would you go about doing this? I've seen someone on youtube cutting rigid foam then spray foaming it in place around the edges....dumb? I cannot afford to spray foam the whole house and due to keeping the historic windows, I'm not sure it would be worth it anyway. Also, brands for blown in insulation would be helpful. Also, I've heard mixed opinions on whether to use kraft paper backed or unfaced. I am in Zone 3, Southern Oklahoma. Thanks for any advice you can give on these matters. Electricians and plumbers are starting this week so insulation will be coming up soon!
There are going to be a lot of different oppinions on this so you may have to wade thru some of it and come up with what you think will work best for you. I have heard not to use a vapor barrier... use a vapor barrier...blown in insulation is better ... batt insulation is better...spray foam...well you get the idea.
One of the most important things to consider when doing this is that the outer envelope should not have any air leaks. Air being allowed to move into the insulation pulls the trapped heat out of it making it less effective. If there are any air leaks, get them sealed up before the insulation goes in.
Personaly, I would go with Batt insulation with a 4-6 mil poly vapor barrier. In the attic I would go with the same as I am not a big fan of blow in only because I hate having to dig thru the stuff if you ever have to work up there. Be sure to seal up any pritrusions (wires, Pipes) leading up into the attic as well. Keeping the heat from getting up there will go a long way in keeping the house warmer.
These are just my opinions. You do need to research this on your own some to find what you will feel most comfortable with.
Question...Do you have to keep the "historic" windows or is this something you want to do to preserve the look of the house. There are a lot of good options out there for replacements that have the "old" look with all the benefits of new windows.
To answer your question, yes. The home is in the historic district of our town and the old windows are desirable. I'll put storm windows on them eventually which will help a bit.
I have heard, in this area, install the facing to the outside, rather than inside? Yes or no...?
So by the outer envelope you mean something like a housewrap? Or just the penetrations in the sheathing, floor, ceiling, etc...It is asbestos siding now, int the future if we were to add vinyl siding, should we housewrap it first, then side it? Can you have multiple layers moisture barriers? (one being the insulation facing, the other the old builders paper barrier between wood siding and asbestos siding, and the other being the housewrap? Would this trap moisture somewhere in those layers?
I know this is a DIY site, but I have a suggestion that was given to me by the inspector when my wife and I were building our log home (literally, almost entirely by ourselves). Because of his position he could not recommend any specific businesses, but said to check out a local one "with a number in its name." That turned out to be 84 Lumber. They have a subsidiary company that does only insulation. Their quote was quite a bit less than I had calculated for materials alone. And they insulated the entire house in a day and a half. Best deal I got on the entire project.
No v.b. or vapor retarder; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...commendations/
House wraps are vapor permeable, Tyvek is very open (58 perms). R-30 for your location, ceiling; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic..._11_sec002.htm
Danpik was right-on with air-sealing first; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...wWATQw&cad=rja
Great links and great advice.
I am definitely going to seal everything before drywallers come in then I think I'll insulate exterior walls with unfaced batts, then, after drywall is up, seal penetrations in drywall in attic and walls, then blow in insulation in the attic. Still not sure on whether to go with attic cat owen's corning or green fiber. Any thoughts on which is better? Seems like green fiber is denser, and when crawled through, seems to stay relatively puffy. If the pink fiberglass gets stepped on, it squashes down tight and loses all it's R value. I know attics aren't made to be crawled in, but I'm a DIYer...I always have a project...!!
Any ideas on crawlspace sealing versus vented?
i would definitely condition mine ( if i had one instead of a basement)
I usually recommend cellulose over fiberglass and Roxul over fiberglass. Actually, anything over f.g., at least the low densities; http://www.diychatroom.com/f98/bigge...ulation-90438/
Your milder climate is gentle on low density f.g. compared to colder climates: http://www.homeenergy.org/show/artic...zine/77/id/910
Use good cellulose; http://s84919.gridserver.com/company...-created-equal
It air seals any spots you missed (unlike f.g.); http://bct.eco.umass.edu/publication...-smart-choice/
The tests (f.g. cubed low density (0.50); http://docserver.nrca.net/technical/401.pdf
From Sweden (2007 ?)- 9.4 = 0.59 density, Fig. 5, pp.7; http://web.byv.kth.se/bphys/reykjavik/pdf/art_085.pdf
Your Atticat; See chart; R-30----- 12"/11.5" thickness = 1.04 x 0.504 = 0.53# density....http://www.r-prollc.com/Documents/At...Fact_Sheet.pdf
hmm, same density as the tests, lol.. But, your climate is not that cold, even though you don't get convective looping like a colder climate, at least use a housewrap over it (or 2-3" blown cellulose) if the attic is vented to protect from wind-washing; up to 40% R-value loss with a wind outside a vented attic and 10-12k (0.62-0.75 medium density) insulation, pp.5; http://www.aecb.net/PDFs/Impact_of_thermal_bypass.pdf
Compare your Atticat at R-30/11.5" = R-2.61 per inch to blown cellulose in that chart of last link, compare cell. thickness required;then compare prices... if you need more links for pro cell (in a fire, fibers filtering in house through thermal barrier, etc.), nay f.g., let me know; about 2 dozen left in my library.

First Block Party returns to downtown Waynesville
Another Rockin' Block Party will return to downtown Waynesville May 24 for the first time this summer season.
Starting at 6 p.m., downtown will come alive with dancing in the street, live bands, children's activities, eats and treats and more.
Restaurants and select merchants and galleries will stay open late for the event and a portion of Main Street will be closed for the street dance. Many merchants will be providing activities and crafts for children in front of their businesses from 6 to 7 p.m.
The live music begins at 7 p.m. with The Blue Ridge Big Band performing on the south end of Main Street near Earthworks Gallery. Cutthroat Shamrock, an Appalachian punk rock band, will entertain the crowd near Tipping Point Tavern on the north end.
And back by popular demand, the 96.5 House Band will return to the center stage near Pheasant Hill.
The Downtown Waynesville Association, which plans and coordinates the Block Party each year, incorporates Kids on Main with the help of downtown businesses in an effort to make attendance easier for young families with early bedtimes. As always, people of all ages are welcome to stay through the entire Block Party to enjoy the entertainment.

BMW Group to Launch Megacity Electric Vehicle as Sub-brandBy Scott Doggett August 4, 2009
The chairman of BMW Group announced in a statement today that the Megacity electric vehicle the Bavarian automaker is developing will, like MINI, be sold under a sub-brand.
Without elaboration, Dr. Norbert Reithofer (pictured) stated:
"This auto will be launched on the market as a sub-brand of BMW. As BMW is the innovation driver within the Group, the decision for a sub brand under BMW is the most logical step. Details on this topic will be made known later this year."
It would, we think, be most logical if the vehicle is one in a string of electric vehicles (or at least zero-emissions vehicles) that the BMW group produces.
Later on, Reithofer provided some details about BMW's decision Monday to tap SB LiMotive, a joint venture between Bosch and Samsung SDI, to supply lithium-ion battery cells for the Megacity EV, is has a vague launch date of the first half of the next decade.
"This cooperation," Reithofer said, "gives us access to state-of-the-art lithium-ion storage technology. Both partners of this joint venture Bosch and Samsung SDI have the competence and ability to handle the entire battery lifecycle up to the stage of re-use or recycling."
That's interesting, because it means that BMW considered the final disposition of its EV batteries in its decision to work with SB LiMotive. It's more evidence that when BMW talks about sustainability, it backs up its words with actions that are consistent with them.

Frost assesses Harman's AHA
April 10, 2012 by John Day
Filed under News, Company News, Industry News
Harman's Aha cloud-based radio platform is focused on collecting data from the web, simplifying it, and making it consumable while driving, according to Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst, Krishna Jayaraman. Aha's primary aim is to keep the user always connected and make driving easy and safe.
Jayaraman says AHA defines today's connected car by introducing an altogether new approach to infotainment full of web content. The Aha platform serves as a one stop shop for the entire web-based entertainment content, and uses voice interface as output medium to relay the information, which in the current scenario is considered to be the safest form of human-machine interaction unlike visual interaction, which needs maximum user attention.

Welcome -
Edward H. Pappas
Chair, Professionalism Advisory Committee
When I was President of the State Bar of Michigan in 2008-2009, I made professionalism the theme of my administration. Part of my effort to improve the professionalism of lawyers included reaching out to law schools to find ways to communicate to law students the importance of professionalism in our legal careers. Cooley Law School immediately reached back to partner with the State Bar to pilot a program during its orientation for incoming students.
That pilot program brought State Bar member lawyers and judges to the school to meet in small groups with entering law students to talk together about the real professionalism issues and ethical challenges those students might face while they are in school and when they graduate. We lawyers and judges also use that opportunity to impress upon the students our commitment to professionalism, and attempt to inspire them to incorporate that ideal into their education, their conduct, and their relations with others.
Following the pilot, Cooley immediately began offering the "Professionalism in Action" orientation program at all of its campuses during each of its three orientations per year, and continues to do so, discovering that it is the students' favorite part of their law school orientation. I am able to report just this year that all of the other Michigan law schools are also offering this program.
As a result of the partnership between Cooley and the State Bar of Michigan, I took note of Cooley's significant emphasis on professionalism and ethics and was pleased to learn that professionalism is ingrained in the School's culture and has been since 2002 when Cooley adopted its Professionalism Plan. After studying and appreciating Cooley's substantial efforts to positively impact the hearts and minds of its students, I was pleased to join Cooley Law School's Board of Directors.
I am equally pleased to Chair Cooley's newly established Professionalism Advisory Committee. I hope to learn from all of you what the professionalism issues are that Cooley should anticipate its applicants will bring from their undergraduate education, and what professionalism challenges its graduates will encounter as they leave law school and enter the work force. I anticipate that the committee's work may very well extend beyond Cooley Law School and lawyers to other areas of higher education and other professions. I also look forward to working with you to identify approaches to prepare Cooley law students to address those challenges and become positive and ethical members of the legal profession who will work toward its constant improvement.
I appreciate your help and your commitment to professionalism, and welcome you to this inaugural meeting.

High court strikes down Ariz. campaign finance law
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision Monday along familiar ideological lines, invalidated an Arizona law that provides extra funds to candidates who take part in a publicly financed system rather than rely on private backers.
Rejecting the state's arguments about the potentially corruptive effects of wealthy private interests, the justices ruled that an Arizona provision boosting the funds of publicly funded candidates when their opponents spend money beyond a certain limit impinged free speech rights.
"The state grants funds to publicly financed candidates as a direct result of the speech of privately financed candidates and their" backers, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, spurning Arizona's interest in fighting corruption or "leveling the playing field."
The ruling touted the value of free speech, particularly among candidates running for public office.
The Arizona case is the first campaign dispute to reach the court since its controversial January 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which lifted federal limits on corporation and labor union spending in elections.
It was the same five conservative justices who formed the majority in Citizens United that rejected the Arizona regulation as a violation of free political speech. Their decision does not void state public-financing systems, but it could undercut one of the incentives some states employ to entice candidates to use public financing and forgo large private contributions that might lead to corruption or the appearance of corruption.
Justice Elena Kagan, who wrote a dissenting opinion on behalf of the court's liberals, took the unusual step of reading portions of her dissent from the bench Monday.
She stressed that the Arizona law was intended to break a cycle of corruption in the state and wrote in her opinion, "The majority's denigration of this interest — the suggestion that it either is not real or does not matter — wrongly prevents Arizona from protecting the strength and integrity of its democracy."
Arizona enacted a public financing system for candidates in 1998 in the wake of several political scandals, including the so-called AzScam sting, in which state legislators accepted bribes and campaign contributions in exchange for support of gambling legislation.
The Arizona public-financing law was intended to encourage candidates to accept state contribution and spending limits rather than use large amounts of private money. The disputed provision, rare among states, dictated that once a privately financed candidate spent more than the state's initial grant to the publicly financed candidate, the publicly funded candidate would get an additional near dollar-for-dollar grant.
Arizona state Sen. John McComish and other former legislative candidates, along with independent political groups, filed lawsuits, claiming the trigger for new matching funds breached free speech by discouraging privately funded candidates and their supporters from raising more money.
They relied heavily on a 2008 Supreme Court case in which the majority struck down a "Millionaire's Amendment" in federal campaign-finance law that hiked contribution limits for candidates running against especially wealthy opponents.
The Roberts majority said that ruling in Davis v. Federal Election Commission controlled the new case.
"Much like the burden placed on speech in Davis, the (Arizona) matching funds provision imposes an unprecedented penalty on any candidate who robustly exercises his First Amendment rights," he wrote. Roberts was joined in Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
Joining Kagan in dissent were Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.

I had a small colony I "rescued" from a water meter at a co-workers home 2+weeks ago, her husband was going to destroy them so I went to get them. I took 2 frames worth of brand new comb theyd built that also had capped brood and larvae. I thought I got the queen because after gently scooping bees in after framing comb from meter box (in-ground) they were going into hive on their own. I brought them home and left them for 10 days before going in to the box to see what was going on. I found almost all brood hatched out, no larvae, and all that was left was 4 supercedure queen cells.
I knew it would be no less than 4 weeks before new bees would be hatching. Last Friday I put another box on top, newspaper barrier and top box had 2 frames of brood comb and a med super honey frame full of honey but only 25% capped, taken from a strong hive.
On Sunday morning as I was leaving for church, the bees were leaving, swarming into a bundle in a nearby tree. I had to decide--stop and recapture, or hope they stayed til I got home less than 2 hrs later. They didn't stay. Gone. They didnt appear to fill up from the honey frame before they left. About half or more of the nurse bees remained with the brood comb Id just added. I took that box back out to my apiary yesterday and wanted to put frames back in original hives but it was drizzling with the threat of downpour. They are there as I left them.
Also yesterday I set up a nuk with their comb and sprayed with sugar water and lemongrass oil and set it on a ladder at the spot where they swarmed to and bundled. This morning I noticed a decent amount of bees checking it out, then they were gone. Couple hrs later, more bees checking it out. I ran some errands and then came home to a backyard sky full of bees and going into the nuk. Took maybe 15 min to go in and then I gave them sugar water. They were gone for 48 hrs, if these are that just left.
Now what do I do, in particular with those frames I pulled on Friday? Can I add these into that box? Increase Essentials says I can add them in. Do I do it right away or with that make them take off again? If I combine with those brood frames/nurse bees, which by the way one of the frames has a capped swarm queen cell, to add to the fun. The nuk has 3 frame right now of drawn empty comb, some their own assuming this is the same bees from the meter. Do I use newspaper method and later combine frames into one box? It is the end of September, though I am in SW Fla.

Winter's Wind
O thou whose face hath felt the Winter's wind,
Whose eye has seen the snow-clouds hung in mist,
And the black elm tops 'mong the freezing stars!
To thee the spring will be a harvest time.
O thou whose only book has been the light
Of supreme darkness, which thou feddest on
Night after night, when Phœbus was away!
To thee the spring shall be a triple morn.
O fret not after knowledge. I have none,
And yet my song comes native with the warmth.
O fret not after knowledge! I have none.
And yet the evening listens. He who saddens
At thought of idleness cannot be idle,
And he's awake who thinks himself asleep.
– John Keats (1795-1821)
Oh Keats, how glad I am for you that you did not live in the midwest.

Bayne back at Bristol trying to get more seat time
Associated Press | Last updated August 24, 2012
Trevor Bayne is back at Bristol Motor Speedway hopeful it isn't his final Nationwide Series race of the year. Last year's Daytona 500 winner has been stuck in a limited schedule this season, and a lack of sponsorship forced Roush Fenway to pull the plug on his Nationwide program just five races into the year. He'll make his Nationwide return Friday night at Bristol, his home track, in a ''We Back Pat'' paint scheme in honor of raising awareness of the Pat Summitt Foundation's fight against Alzheimer's disease. After this race, he's got six scheduled Sprint Cup starts with The Wood Brothers but is itching to get more seat time. Bayne is one of the many young drivers in NASCAR stuck in limbo because of NASCAR's difficult sponsorship climate.

Judge's firm hand ensures onward march of Jackson's trial
Page Tools
Nobody who knows Judge Rodney Melville well was surprised at how crisply the selection of the jury in the Michael Jackson case went last week.
Outside analysts and even some lawyers in the case expected the process to take as long as a month. But under Judge Melville's firm tutelage and strict time limits the job was completed in barely a week.
It has been suggested that Judge Melville will get the case to the jury well ahead of the expected five-month timetable. "Onward," he advised lawyers on Friday. "Onward."
Opening statements in the child-molesting case against Jackson were due to begin yesterday before Judge Melville, 63, the presiding judge of the Santa Barbara Superior Court.
He is known as a demanding courtroom taskmaster. When Jackson showed up late for his arraignment early last year Judge Melville scolded him. "Mr Jackson, you have started out on the wrong foot with me. I want to advise you that I will not put up with that. It's an insult to the court. You must be on time."
Jackson has been early for every subsequent appearance.
The judge imposed a $US1000 ($1260) fine on one of Jackson's lawyers in August when he pursued a line of questioning already ruled out of order.
The judge gave a small insight into his feelings about the Jackson case as jury selection began three weeks ago. Addressing the pool of potential jurors, he confessed to a case of the jitters at presiding over such a closely watched case, saying that not only Jackson but also the US legal system was on trial. He then assured the jurors, the lawyers and the defendant that he intended to conduct a thorough and fair trial.
"I am not bought and paid for," he said. "I have not made up my mind in this case. And I want a jury who feels the same way."
The case against Jackson hinges on charges that he molested a 13-year-old leukemia patient at his Neverland ranch in 2003. Jackson's lawyers are likely to paint the singer as an easy target for greedy parents.

CD Review: The Ettes — Do You Want Power
Do You Want Power
Take Root
By Beverly Bryan
The Ettes' lovely minimalist name has come to signify lovely
minimalist rock. There's always been a touch of the blues and a lot of grit in
their rock n' roll and on Do You Want Power it has been produced to a high sheen.
Not glassy, but there is a shine. Coco Hames' full-throated vocals sound as hard
and bright as brushed steel and her guitar sounds crisp whether it's rumbling
or crying. Strangely, the cleaner sound actually makes their stylish and
stripped-down sound more affecting than on their earlier albums. But this album
was produced by the incomparable Greg Cartwright of Reigning Sound and The
Oblivians, so such voodoo is no surprise.
The heartfelt but tough lyrics remain thankfully unchanged. Hames
swaggers through a series of fearless treatments of love-minus-intimacy in a
way that just feels dangerous, even when the trio slows it down for a few
rootsy ballads. Mostly though, they stick to rocking out and their haunting and
forceful melodies will please fans of Joan Jett and The White Stripes in
particular. It's not an up-to-the-minute sound but it isn't exactly timeless
either. There's a quality to their music that is reminiscent of Detroit garage
rock from earlier in this decade. It will be all the more lovable to some for
being just slightly out of step with the musical zeitgeist. When you have power
like them, you can get away with it. And on Do
You Want Power they have tapped a heck of a source.

Over the course of the game, I've been noticed a few details that may or may not be useful for you. But for what it's worth, they generally helped me. Also, some of these may have been introduced in one of the more recent patches (either that or I just never noticed them before)
- Hostages actually have 2 potentially significant uses. First is that you run like 30% faster while you've got a hostage, for whatever reason. Secondly, they can take a few bullets if you use them as a human shield. However, if you do this, the hostage will die and you can't move until you drop them (which takes a second). You can still pivot, and I think the body still blocks bullets, but you can't move anywhere.
- The knife is just fast enough so that holding down the attack button makes you just about immune to melee attackers, assuming you're facing the right direction. Most (maybe all) of the other melee weapons take longer to swing, so holding down attack constantly is dangerous due to the potential for enemies to run in between swings.
- You normally can't shoot guys that have been knocked to the ground, but there is an exception. If a guy gets knocked into a wall, so he's sitting propped up, you can still hit them.
- The drill execution no longer gives an absurd amount of points, sadly.
- Throwing the knife sometimes knocks guys over, but sometimes just kills them. I can't tell if it's a random chance or what.
- Whatever weapon you're holding when you go from one floor to the next is what you'll be holding every time you respawn on that floor. This can be useful for trying to get some of the weapon specific achievements for rare weapons, like the brick.
- You can get away with a lot more than you might expect with a knife and the chameleon mask. For example, the guy carrying a shotgun at the end of the hall on the second floor of Crackdown? He normally starts shooting at you before you can even see him. With the chameleon mask, you can run right up and stab him in the face before he realizes you're there.
That's all I have off the top of my head right now, but are there any tips you guys have?

A spokesman for Opposition Leader Simon Crean said Labor would resist the move, but some frontbenchers fear their stand will enable the government to depict them as soft on border protection. Some see parallels with the Border Protection Bill before the last election.
The government would also be able to highlight the fact that Labor has yet to finalise its border protection policy, senior Labor sources said.
Coalition sources warned that Labor could face a double-dissolution election next year as it had blocked the government's agenda, including its changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and disability pensions in the budget as well as border protection measures. But they said such an election was unlikely at this stage.
The government is expected to re-introduce both the budget measures and the border protection legislation, which are opposed by Labor, the Democrats and the Greens, creating the circumstances for a double-dissolution election.
Greens senator Bob Brown said the legislation was designed to bring on a double dissolution and another election fought on border protection.
Mr Ruddock said the legislation would give Labor "every opportunity" to support the measures, which he said were "essential so we can protect our borders". He denied it was a double-dissolution trigger.
If a boat with asylum seekers landed in the Torres Strait or on any other island to the north of Australia today, those on board would have to come to the mainland to be processed, Mr Ruddock's spokesman said.
The regulations cannot be introduced again for six months, so legislation was imperative as intelligence sources had revealed people smugglers were looking for another island stop-off into Australia, he said. But there was no information on the boat apparently headed for Australia from Indonesia which triggered the move this month.

|Thursday Review - June 28th. 2012
|Gintautas Trimakas (Installation)
Opening - 28 June, 6 p.m.
June 28 - July 4, the Review Room of Vartai Gallery will host the Greetings by G. Trimakas. The project is special, because this is the first time Trimakas introduces colour photography or - according to himself - a search for colour. He takes different compact cameras ("because I have an addiction to collect heaps of cameras and a need to give them all a chance to speak"), puts the cheapest colour film in them and takes pictures of the sky relying on the automatic exposure of the camera, which most often results in an error. "I have been fighting the joy of image recognition all my life", jests the author.
Greetings is a natural sequel to Trimakas' classic Pauses, but this time the photographer employs yet another technique - Facebook social network, where the Greetings have been on display for over a year. The author is greeting us and hopefully his images will be heard.
Artists wishing to submit their artwork for the reviews should contact the gallery by e mail email@example.com.
Personal presentations of artworks can be arranged for art collectors any day of the week. Please, arrange your visit in advance by contacting VARTAI gallery on the phone (+370) 5 2122 949 or by e mail email@example.com.

GeoServer is a full transactional Java (J2EE) implementation of the OpenGIS Consortium's Web Feature Server specification. Release 1.0.0 has been completely tested against the official OGC WFS test engine and supports Postgis, Oracle and Shapefile formats. Please visit http://geoserver.sf.net
GeoServer is built as a thin servlet layer on top of the latest beta release of GeoTools (http://geotools.org), another excellent sourceforge project. The server allows users to share geographic information using GML. GeoServer was originally written on top of Postgis, a spatial extension to PostgreSQL, and now also supports Shapefile and Oracle Spatial formats, with more coming every day. It is fully transactional, meaning users can modify their backend data using update and locking operations on the web. Feature filtering is also fully supported, in the backend data stores for speed where possible.
The 1.0.0 release is an important milestone. The server has been fully tested as the reference implementation of the OGC's Web Feature Service Specification. Our association with the GeoTools team led to a number of improvements, including the additional data formats, connection pooling, and the internal feature model. And our users have proven invaluable for testing beta versions and providing bug reports, fixes, and feedback.
Future improvements will include an integrated Web Map Service (WMS), a web administration interface, strong transactional locking, and greater speed and efficiency. The release can be downloaded at:

It's been a roller coast ride for the National Reconnaissance Office, the intelligence agency that builds the country's spy satellites. Shortly after Sept. 11, a former top CIA official told me the secretive space agency had a new slogan plastered inside the building — BACK TO BLACK — an indication perhaps, that NRO had found a new sense of purpose in the war on terror (or at least a new reason for secrecy).
Well, it could possibly really be lights out soon for the agency that has been at the center of some notable recent failures (regardless of where the fault lies for those failures). The Allard Commission on US national security space is about to recommend the NRO be shuttered once and for all. "The commission recommends eliminating the National Reconnaissance Office – the agency that helped win the Cold War, and whose very existence was secret until the early 1990s – as a separate entity and removing executive authority for space systems from the Air Force, transferring both functions into a single new organization," reports Bill Sweetman on Aviation Week's ARES blog.
The agency's most public failures have been the Future Imagery Architecture, which was canceled amid cost overruns and schedule delays. Even worse, an errant satellite in the constellation had to be shot down (to much fanfare and controversy). Then there was Misty, a super-secret satellite program that was canceled last year. And let's not forget Space Radar, which the NRO and Air Force battled over like two teenage brothers fighting over whether to buy a Playstation or an XBox. And earlier this year, the agency saw some of its authority stripped away.
Were all these failures all NRO's fault? Well, there's plenty of blame to go around in the Pentagon, but the problems do indicate some huge fissures in the interagency process (and it looks like the commission doesn't think highly of U.S. Air Force space acquisition either).
But don't dance on NRO's grave quite yet. The real question is whether the report's finding will ever be translated into policy.

When I went to Harvard Law School 25 years ago, I studied discrimination and affirmative action with a black law professor whose research showed that legislated quotas often become a ceiling as well as a floor beneath a certain number of "diverse" workers. Employers forced to take certain women and black employees say: "Even if the next woman or coloured is a rocket scientist, I won't take them because I don't have to."
Also, legislated quotas can cast a cloud of suspected incompetency over every member of the groups that are the subject of affirmative action. A professor remarked to me when I got into Harvard, "I hear they were looking for women', to which I responded, "No, I topped the law class."
Legislated quotas can help achieve critical mass, and critical mass is important for sustainable participation by diverse groups. It means individuals are not alone. They can be supported to be different.
But that needs to be weighed against the downsides of quotas.
At the end of the day, while laws such as the Human Rights Act and the NZ Bill of Rights Act can prevent discrimination, they cannot force you to like certain groups of people.
The Equal Opportunities Commissioner, Judy McGregor, went undercover as a rest home worker to experience first hand what it is like to care for the elderly in NZ.
I too have been undercover experiencing what it's like to be a member of a "diverse" group, but this assignment has been handed to me by dint of birth. It has affected my thinking.
It has made me look at CVs differently. I tend to think successful candidates who have "diverse" characteristics are likely to be better because they would have had to be better to achieve what they did. I think diversity can bring the winning margin.
In a competitive world, victory results from doing things differently rather than doing things the same as everyone else resulting in an undifferentiated result.
Fresh thinking often comes from people who are different. I also think being underestimated often provides the motivation to be the best. And all employers know that the winning combination for employees is talent, hard work and motivation to win.
I think the breakthrough for women and minorities will come when people study the research and find that diversity pays dividends. Indirect discrimination and culture is intangible, but money is not.
For example, a Goldman Sachs August 2011 report showed that closing the gap in male and female employment rates in New Zealand would boost the level of GDP by 10 per cent and University of Waikato research based on 10 years of data from NZX companies also found that increasing the number of female board members improved financial performance.
Some may argue that the causal relationship goes the other way: that is, that successful, growing companies naturally gravitate towards diversity in their senior leadership teams.
The corollary being that a moribund business is not going to be fixed merely by an injection of female leadership.
Whatever the case, the point remains the same: allowing a monoculture to dominate your senior management is bad for business.
In recent times we have seen a number of new initiatives to get more women into senior management and/or onto boards, whether it's the FINSIA report into the "Significance of the Gender Divide in Financial Services" (resulting in the creation of the Women in Financial Services Forum) or the Institute of Directors mentoring scheme where, generally, experienced male directors champion and mentor less experienced and well-known women wannabe directors onto NZX-listed boards, or the UN Women Empowerment Principles launched by the Governor-General and his wife to establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality.
These initiatives have often been accompanied by studies restating the problem that women are not making it through the pipeline, and that it is not just a matter of time.
More interesting, however, are the studies showing that greater female participation at senior management and board level helps the boat go faster and grows the bottom line of companies.
Many of these recent initiatives have nothing to do with the Government and are not compelled by statute. I find that interesting because it shows again the limits of the law in changing culture, because we have had plenty of anti-discrimination laws.
But overt discrimination is generally not the problem, and indirect discrimination is very hard to prove and to prosecute.
That said, such laws have made some difference to what is now acceptable in our culture. Remember the outcry last June when Alasdair Thompson said that women's work performance was adversely affected by having periods and babies.
The expectation is that we look at the CV to determine qualification for the role, not gender. But if more needs to be done, I do not think that is necessarily through more laws.

I am hoping that everyone is willing to help out on this one. I have a nephew, his name is Jonathan. He is 8 years old and is battling liver/lung cancer. He was diagnoised over a year ago and have went through several rounds of chemo and multiple surgeries. The docs have recommended palative care, but he still wants to fight and feels that God is not finished with him yet. He is understand what he is up against and is one of the bravest people I have ever met. I have watched many adults face death with much less courage and determination. What I would like for everyone that reads this is to simple post a few words of encouragement and/or that you are praying for him. Thanks in advance and please pass the word here. (I'll be posting similarly on other forums). We will be going down to visit them in Kennesaw, Georgia in a few weeks and I plan to print off a copy of this so he will know how many folks are supporting him. Thanks again.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep up your faith and may God give you peace!
Thoughts and prayers, bud.
Jonathan, we\'re all with ya and rooting for your recovery. Keep your chin up and know that God lives in your heart. :kay:
Jonathan this happens to be one of my favorite quotes on the topic of Determination. I hope you enjoy it as it has moved me to dig deep on many an occasion. May God look over you and do keep your head up high. You keep on with the Faith and all will work out in the end.
~ALet us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.
Horace Mann
Johnathan, You are in my prayers. Don\'t get discouraged, God isn\'t finished with you yet!
Hang in there, Jonathan. We\'re with ya buddy :kay:
One day two frogs fell into a deep bowl of cream.
One frog got SO SCARED STIFF that he could not move and (sadly) he drowned in the cream.
The OTHER frog kicked and struggled and fought so hard to live that he whipped all that cream into thick butter and then he just walked out.:P
Never Give Up The Fight Jonathan!
You will be in my thoughts and my prayers.
Tell your nephew the \"Soldier Prayer\"
\"Lord, Thou knowest what I must do this day.\"
\"If I forget thee.\"
\"Do not thou forget me.\"
Tell him a former wounded soldier has said a prayer for him. God bless.

In the press release, Pharrell shared, "Supercolor is a celebration of equality through diversity. With 50 colours of the Superstar, everybody will be able to select his or her colour.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
meant to post this ages ago! I was using the balloon arches to time my mile splits and they were pretty consistent apart from around Woolwich/Greenwich, the first 10 splits were:
1) 7:27
2) 7:20
3) 7:24
4) 6:43
5) 7:27
6) 8:06
7) 7:07
8) 7:29
9) 7:28
10) 7:28
Mile 4 was downhill so perhaps that could explain the faster time, but I don't recall being slow for mile 6 - mile 25 was the only other split over 7:33.
Did anyone else notice a discrepancy with the mile markers around the same time?
It was out for me too by pretty much the same as you simon. I clocked 8.06 for mile 6 and 7.06 for mile 7. I knew it was out at the time as I was running pretty evenly at that point (miles 2-5 were all between 7.20 and 7.30, and I knew there was no way I'd run over 8 for the next one). So after I'd gone through mile 7 I just mentally adjusted the last two to say they were 7.30's on average. Not worth worrying too much about to be honest.
Mind you I could have done with some of the later miles being shorter than they were .
Just checked and I had mile 6 as measuring 1.23 miles!! I don't think I missed the mile marker, but it looks like I must have, and then pressed it at the 10k mat instead. Shows how much attention I was paying to the Garmin on the day though, cos I hadn't even noticed! Mile 6 for me was thus a 7'43, despite running it at 6'17 pace! I think that shows I may as well have not worn it for all the notice I pad to it on the day

Ripoff Report
Divine Imagery, Georgia USA
Divine Imagery Aisha Mc Nease Rip Off, Money Hungry, Liar, Fraud, Scam Artist Atlanta Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I decided to hire a videographer almost a week prior to my wedding. Divine Imagery was recommended by my DJ, who was a rip off also, as well as the photographer. Aisha Mcnease and her team appeared to be doing a great job and we were pleased, until time to deliver the final edited product. I have been married for approx 6 mos and have only received a 4 minute trailer of my wedding and reception. I was presented with every excuse imaginable as well a request for additional money, to receive video with more than 2 edit requests.
I have submitted complaints with BBB (no response from Divine Imagery) & Wedding Wire (Divine Imagery denied doing business with me...i have proof). As soon as I get a valid address, Aisha will be served with civil suit. It seems that they move around a lot, classic signs of a scam artist. I have given every opportunity to make good in this matter...I'm left with court. I will hunt them down, it may take some time, but I will find Aisha (Foote) McNease. Trust me Divine Imagery is not racist...they will rip you off regardless of race, age or religion.

Netta, after reading so much negativity about Aisha Mcnease and Divine Imagery, I'm not sure why someone hasn't put a stop to them. I am currently still sorting through addresses...to have them served with civil suit. I reached out to them via email as recent as last Thursday. I was given them another opportunity to right this wrong...they have yet to respond. Its a shame that they fraud people out if money and memories. Please keep me posted on your legal progression and I will do the same.
