The lot, about 135 feet wide by 300 feet deep, is severely sloped and has a utility line running along one side of NBU joins new LCRA energy program By MARK WARNKEN Staff Writer The New Braunfels Utilities board of directors last week approved the utility's participation in a Lower Colorado River Authority energy conservation program free to residents and small businesses. Through the program, a local homeowner or small-business owner can request that LCRA send an surveyor to conduct a free energy analysis to check energy efficiency. The surveyor will provide a list idem tifying the estimated costs and savings of any recommended energy-conservation improvements. lf the home or business owner decides to invest in the improvements, LCRA's Energy Fitness Program, at no cost to NBU, will help out with rebates of between 13 percent and 20 percent of the cost of the recommended measures, plus a 10-pcrccnt bonus for prompt action. "It makes sense to consider spending money on areas of long-term conservation that would save you from having to build another power plant." NBU General Manager Bob Sohn said. Recommendations might include weather stripping, caulking, attic insulation and ventilation, solar window screens, installation of gaskets behind electrical outlets, and replace mcnt of inefficient cooling equipment. NBU Resource Manager Jim Rappel said. Homeowners will be able complete some of the improvements than selves, but the work must pass irupee uon by LCRA pasonnel. Rappel said "Maybe they've been thinking about doing something for a long time, bul they don't really know how much it's going to cost them or how much it's going to save them. This might spur them on to make an energy improvement," Ruppet said The surveyor also will install an energy kit thai includes an insulating wrap for an electric water heater and water pipes, low-energy light bulbs, and low-flow shower heads fur homes with electric water heaters LCRA, wholesale supplier of electric poiser to NBU, esumates that Bm NBU, Peoa XA Good Day 1300 000 PHOM I'VO CCO p fro OOO it, Parks Department Director David Whatley said. Because it appears unsuitable for playground equipment or basketball courts, the only possible use would be to preserve a small part of the natural landscape in the neighborhood, he said. Additionally, there would be no parking, he said. Board Member Martin Morris said developing the lot as a park could potentially cause trouble with the neighbors that surround it. "I don't see any advantage at all for this park system, and I certainly don't see any advantage for that neighborhood," Board Member Jeff Van Kleef said. Voting to decline the gift were Morris, Kleef, Allen Wofford and Carl Fox. Board Chairman Guadalupe Castillo conducted the vote. The advisory board also heard a report from Whatley on the department's new customized birthday party service. Landa Park and Rec Center activities for the $45 parties are customized by parks employees with input from parents, he said. The par ties include a cake decorated with a parks theme. "Besides making it fun, they try to make it educational, and it has been going over real well," Whatley said. The board then took a half-hour van tour of city park facilities, focusing on recent improvements at Eikel Park.

He expressed pride in the district's programs to address ai-risk students and pointed out thai life expectancy is going up for every age group except teenagers and those in their early twenties, showing a need for more programs.

To The Temple
The remainder of the day brought torrential rain, carried in on huge clouds from the rainforest which emptied themselves in a hiss of fat, angry droplets. The downpour lashed the terraces and stone structures of Machu Picchu, forming a misty-white haze that blurred the outlines of the mountains. The nest did not escape the rain, and two damp figures watched from their hiding place in the leaves as the flow of humans coming up the path into the ruined city dwindled to a trickle. Only the most adventurous would attempt the uneven pathways and slippery steps on a day like today, shielded by gaudy raincoats and umbrellas which were tugged and teased by the wind.
Hazel anxiously watched Manfred smoke. Rings of silver-blue curled from his lips and floated upwards, dissolving into oblivion in the branches.
"I just don't understand," she sighed, "One minute we're waving off our friends at the conference, and the next we're stuck in this strange place. I've been feeling so ill Manfred. All I want to do is sleep. I wish we were at home. I want to know what's been making me sick."
Manfred nodded, gently stroking her arm. "I hope that the platform and gear are still ok," he said, worriedly glancing towards the temple.
"Who cares about the gear?" Hazel snapped."Can't we leave it behind? Really, I don't know why the conference made us carry all that bulky stuff home. We don't even know what it's meant to do. All that matters is the platform, and getting it fixed."
The mournful weather matched their glum expressions, when a sudden commotion caught their attention. The saturated earth on the three terraces above the main path had collapsed, causing a small landslide that was now blocking the entrance to Machu Picchu. Before long humans in neon yellow jackets were swarming around the muddy mess, helping people back down the hillside and putting up large signs which announced that the whole site would be closed until it could be made safe.
Hazel and Manfred waited for the hubbub to die down before they descended from their nest. By this time the rain had stopped and the sun had set, temporarily painting the remaining clouds in a glorious symphony of colour, before fading into darkness.
Manfred studied the few stars which winked at him from breaks in the cloud while Hazel fished out her beacon and shone its beam into the gloom of the grass-carpeted Plaza.
"Manfred ... you ... you might want to have a look at this!"
"Really, look!"
"What is it Hazel? Why are you interrupting when you can see I'm ... oh ... oh, I see."
The pair beheld a sea of yellow eyes, illuminated by the beacon. There must have been dozens of them, all unblinking and focused on the travellers.
"We, uhhh, we mean you no harm," said Manfred, not doing a very good job of disguising the tremble in his voice. He took a furtive step backwards, whispering, "I knew the humans weren't capable of such an advanced society, these must be their masters."
Hazel, still gripping the beacon, rolled her eyes at her companion's clichéd attempts at diplomacy. She scanned the beam around them and leaned forwards, squinting in the darkness, trying to make out the creatures to which these eyes belonged.
"Manfred, we're in a herd of those herbivores that eat the grass on the terraces. I heard a human call them llamas."
"Oh, right. Actually, I was just thinking that myself. "
"Of course you were. Come on, the temple's just around the corner."
Upon arrival they found the platform and gear exactly where they had been left, untouched and unharmed, tucked out of sight down the side of the large rock.
They also found a small silver box, propped up neatly on the sill of one of the temple's trapezoidal windows. Manfred picked it up. "What is this?" he said, turning it over in his hands. The object whirred and gave off a tremendous flash, causing him to yelp and drop it in surprise.
The box landed at Hazel's feet. She grabbed it and noticed her companion's face displayed on the panel at the back. She couldn't help but snigger at the picture, Manfred's perturbed brows and expression of utter shock and bewilderment were perfectly captured in time.
"Look, it's an image transfer device."
"Bah, it's inferior human technology. Nothing compared to what we have at home. Now you try to get comfortable while I fix this thing."
Manfred turned his attention to his wristband and the platform, grumpily pressing buttons while Hazel drowsily rested by the doorway, inspecting her surroundings.
"Look at those markings on the rock. Aren't they similar to our home script?" she said quietly, tilting her head to one side for a better view.
"I see what you mean. It looks like: break ... rock ... prism ... light ... sound. That doesn't make much sense. Perhaps it's just a coincidence."
"You're probably right," murmured Hazel, as she drifted into sleep. Manfred continued to tinker with the machines, pausing only to stroke his companion's forehead as she gave occasional half-asleep moans.

@ Dynaudio4way
I'm sorry, but there are no magic numbers I can give you, as it is a passive crossover I use.
The enclousure is quite small, as I use the speaker only as top above 100Hz or 120Hz, depending on the sub I use.
The crossover frequency is at 1.1kHz, with an acoustical 18dB/oct slope on the low-mid and an acoustical slope somwhere between 18dB/oct or 24dB/oct on the tweeter, as it becomes steeper over the crossover region. Part of the EQing is done in the crossover, the rest is done with notch filter on low-mid and a broader EQ on the TPL. With that I get a pretty flat frequency response and great off axis behavior.
Faaker See is a really nice place to be, I hope you had a good time!

Wow, that TangBand looks really nice! How does it sound?

Hi LineSource,
The Tang Band's graph does indeed look flatter over a wider range, but it has nowhere near the same output capabilities – so there's absolutely no way I'd consider Tang Band W8-1808 hi-fi driver as a serious alternative to 18 Sound 8NMA610 pro driver in a very high output midrange application such as mine. So as to which is the best "dream driver" it's horses for courses – as you can see comparing them both…
Tang Band W8-1808_______________18 Sound 8NMA610
8 inch cone_______________________8 inch cone
1.5 inch voice coil__________________3 inch voice coil
30 watts RMS_____________________400 watts RMS
107.8dBspl max (calc)______________130.0dBspl max (calc)
BL factor = 5.28 Tm________________BL factor = 31.0 Tm
Mms = 9.43g______________________Mms = 17g
BL/Mms ratio = 0.56________________BL/Mms ratio = 1.82
Qes = 0.66_______________________Qes = 0.28
Qts = 0.44________________________Qts = 0.23
Made in Tawain____________________Made in Italy
The 8NMA610 has a solid cast aluminium sealed back design, which means no enclosure panel resonances, and guaranteed optimum factory designed loading, plus the midrange cone is totally immune to the high pressure rear backwave from the 15 inch woofer working in the same enclosure, and it saves me the bother of building a separate wooden sub-chamber for the midrange which adds bulky mass and reduces my net internal cabinet volume.
Also, my 18 Sound drivers are not the stock 8NM610, but a special version 8NMA610 where the 'A' in the model name indicates 18 Sound's Active Impedance Control (A.I.C.) transcoil technology. These model versions are not listed on 18 Sound's website, and are more expensive than the standard models and very difficult to get hold of.
I think they're the best midrange for very high SPL output, although I have various other midrange drivers that I really like too, including my Dynaudio 15W75 and Dynaudio D54AF, and also Eminence Alpha 6A (cheap but good! 7g Mms, BL=8Tm) although my favourite sound quality I own is the 6.5 inch Audax PR170ZO with Aerogel cone (6.2g Mms, BL=10Tm, 100 watts RMS, 99dBspl/W) – a real shame they discontinued it.
Hi Meister_gue,
Surely you must know what EQ you are applying(?), especially if you've actually worked to construct an electrical circuit with selected components to achieve it in hardware. Anyway, I'm not doubting that your system sounds nice to you, but I'm saying that my own experimental results so far don't match your findings using identical drive units, and a scientific method or proof requires repeatable results that can be duplicated elsewhere.
If you do remember any more details about your EQ settings used to tame any harshness, I'd be interested in your data. I'll try crossover at 1.1kHz next time, and I'll try all possible combinations of 18dB or 24 dB slopes and Butterworth, Bessel or Linkwitz Riley curves or Linear Phase crossovers while doing A/B comparisons.

Volt drivers and TPL
Hi Angelo,
The Volt 2500.1 is a great low bass driver 25Hz up to about 125Hz, but it is not good much above 250Hz and certainly be way past its best by 1,000Hz.
The Volt 2500.4 is a great mid bass driver, I have used it in many designs, usually sealed or open baffle. Once I and even used it ported way back in the original " Vortex" two way by Wilmslow Audio.
A two way MTM with the Beyma TPL would on paper be really special... expensive but truely world class. I would wire the 8 Ohm Volts in parallel, this will bring their real world sensitivity up to around 94 dB.
If money were no object an open baffle ( VPL not U or H frame) line array of 6 ( 98 ish dB ) or even 8 (100 ish dB) of Volt 2500.4 on an acrylic baffle 400mm wide plus VPL wings, suspended by a stainless steel pole and wire frame would be on my wish list...!!
Back in the real world...
If you build the two way MTM, the only upgrade you would require would be to a matching world class crossover.
A battery powered DEQX with the digi out option, so you can use world class DACS and an A to D if you require any analog inputs, is the best I have used or heard.
I hope this helps and good luck, you are a great DIY role model, and I have great respect for you, always seeking perfection and willing to learn from experience...the hard way but the best way!!

Volt max crossover
Hi Hennie,
That depends... could be as low as 500Hz with a single Volt in a basic sealed or ported box with low order crossover slopes. Could be as high as 2,000Hz with an MTM in open baffle with 48dB slopes.
(1) Crossover slopes...the steeper the slope, the higher the crossover point can be. The minimum I use is 48dB per octave Linear phase.
(2) Loading on Volt... highest crossover point is open baffle, then you have zero box colourations and ghost echoes i.e. sound bouncing around inside the box and then being emitted back through the thin paper cone...out of phase...yeugh!
(1) Number of Volts i.e. single twin ( MTM ) or line array multiples. For each doubling of cone area you half the excursion, so 2, 4, 8 and 16(!) are the magic numbers. The lower the excursion the higher the crossover point can be. You also gain 3dB sensitivity with each doubling of the cone area ( not just with each additional driver) and you half the distortions when you half the excursion.
If you really go to town on the box construction you can reduce the box colourations a lot i.e. a good sealed box with curved walls layered Birch ply construction and very good internal dispersal / absorbing using fiberglass pads and foam wedges.
Same with a ported box but you will always have the sound coming out of the port being out of phase with the driver....Yeugh!
In most designs money is better spent on drivers than boxes...
More drivers and / or better quality drivers on a simple open baffle / suspension frame will generally sound much better than a killer box with one driver...Magico has got it wrong!! But great marketing of the Emperors new clothes to all the deaf millionaires...
Hope the above helps
All the best

is the 2500.1 better in the bass than the 2500.4 ? Would it in this case not been better to use one 2500.1 up to 250hz, and the 2500.4 up until crossover ?
John of AE speakers compares the Volt to his speakers:
12 " for lower midrange - upper bass
The volt drivers look ok, but looking at BM2500.4 the inductance is still .9mH, representative of not having a shorting ring. It appears nothing is done to lower inductance, linearize inductance, or eliminate flux modulation. This is a 92dB efficiency studio range driver. It would be comparable to our TD10X. The difference is we have 1/3 the inductance. Inductance is linear. Flux is fixed in the gap as it needs to be. We have 14mm Xmax vs 8mm and about 4x the real world power handling.
The 251.4 would compare more to our TD10M. Again the same things apply regarding linear inductance and flux modulation. We have .2mH inductance vs .8mH. Xmax is 6mm vs 2.5mm for the Volt and we have about 4x the power handling.
He does however not mention about sound quality, naturalness, and specially tone........
the 2 10" woofers are placed behind the box. I have my interrogations, if that is a good woofer placement.....

Dally's Escape.
Short Story by: Serenity In Silence
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Dally ran out of the hospital, cursing under his breath. That little punk, he thought, this is what you get for caring, Johnny, and now you're dead. Staring at the street beneath him, he aimlessly wandered through Tulsa, wrapped up in his thoughts and emotions. He let out a long, heaving sigh.
"This is what you get for caring," he murmured accusingly to himself. He slumped against the brick wall of a store, carelessly tossing a handful of pebbles onto the wet pavement. "Fuck. Why did you care about him?"
He pushed his soft platinum blonde hair back from his sweaty face as he thought about Johnny. It truthfully was his fault. He shouldn't have let Johnny and Pony disappear into the depths of the pungent smoke, let alone out of the car. But he did, he let them go into that burning church. And now Johnny's dead.
Even Dally knew that if he hadn't… if all of those kids had burned to death… Johnny and Ponyboy would never have forgiven him. But the cost was Johnny's life… Dally could still see them hauling out Johnny, his limp frame swinging from the fireman's shoulder. The putrid wounds, the missing skin exposing burnt flesh… the patches of skin still hanging limply from him… and as he thrashed, and screamed, a tear had come to Dally's icy blue eye.
There was a loud crack, and a flash of lightning, forcing Dally inside. It was considerably cooler in the store. But the bright lights reminded him of the church, the fire… Johnny. Fingering the gun, Dally looked at the clerk. He needed a way out. He needed to stop thinking, because thinking was going to get him hurt.
"Yeah that's right, Dallas Winston, put up your emotional barrier. Pretend you don't give a shit. When you're that way, nobody can hurt you," he whispered sullenly, chastising himself. So he did what he did best. Inside, he knew he shouldn't, but he was too angry to care, to behave rationally. He grabbed a bottle of liquor off the shelf and aimed his gun at the clerk.
"Give me all your fuckin' money!" Dally yelled angrily. "Now!"
The cashier threw the money in the bag and hastily thrust it into his outstretched hand. He picked up the phone as Dally ran, but he didn't care, he just had to get as far away as possible. He never remembered calling Pony and Darry, but that was about the time some of the whisky had disappeared too. All he did know is that he had to run as fast as he possibly could to Pony's.
The sirens were getting louder, the lights brighter. The incessant shrill annoyed Dally to no end. His fate was sealed. He had to accept it. Maybe he wasn't supposed to live after all. He was never going to make it, and that was inevitable. But that was fine.
Turning around, Dally drew the unloaded pistol and threw it, along with the liquor bottle, its contents flying in a huge arc into the night sky.
"Take me, motherfuckers!" Dally screamed, an arrogant smirk rising on his elfish features. He heard the cops shoot. He was actually glad he was going to die. There was no more havoc to wreak in this miserable place anyway.

Sponsor a strip fundraiser set Saturday
Sponsor a strip fundraiser set Saturday
LITTLE FALLS — Eleven-year-old Gage VanRisseghem of Little Falls recently started a fundraiser called "Sponsor a Stripe" to help raise funds for a zebra for the Pine Grove Zoo in Little Falls.
Gage, who recently attended a members day event at the zoo, saw a lay-out for future zoo plans, which included a zebra and the zoo already had an area for it to live. With the support of family members and friends, he went to the Pine Grove Zoo director and asked if he could do a fundraiser. The zoo's board of directors agreed to let Gage pursue the "Sponsor a Stripe" campaign.
Gage recruited all 10 of his cousins, from ages 3 months to 11-years-old, to be on the "Sponsor a Stripe" Committee. At the first committee meeting several neighborhood children heard about it and asked to join and help. Since then more and more children and adults have asked to be a part of it.
The "Sponsor a Stripe" committee is having a "Zebra Garage Sale Fundraiser" with face painting, finger nail painting and more from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Pine Grove Park Zoo Shelter Building
The committee is looking for items they can sell at the garage sale. If anyone has items they would like to donate call Cathy at (320) 630-9843 or Angie at (320) 630-2148. No clothing.
For monetary donations, send it to Pine Grove Zoo, 1200 W. Broadway, Little Falls, MN 56345, attention: "Sponsor a Stripe." Donations are tax deductible.

Matt Brown gives a star-making performance with TKO of Erick Silva
The last time the UFC called a meeting of the bloodthirsty, it was to dangle the greatest fighter on the planet in front of our wide eyes. Jon Jones performed like a virtuoso that night two weekends ago, but showtime had begun even before the light heavyweight champion stepped into the cage, in the mere anticipation of something transcendent.
Two weeks from now expectations once again will be soaring when another indestructible champion, Renan Barão, puts it all on the line: his bantamweight belt, a 33-fight unbeaten streak, the pride of a nation. Once again, the contest in the cage will be only the culmination of a gala happening that, in its blazing buildup, will begin ... well, it already has begun.
The only thing that had been standing in the way of firing up the hype for that UFC 173 pay-per-view in Las Vegas was this little Fight Night card Saturday night in Cincinnati. If you couldn't make it to U.S. Bank Arena, all you needed was basic cable to tune in and sit through an evening of fisticuffs headlined by a meeting of the No. 10 welterweight in the SI.com MMA fighter rankings and an unranked opponent in the midst of a bumpy career path. Not the most highly anticipated party the octagon has ever hosted.
Sure, the collision of a couple of forward-moving studs, Matt Brown and Erick Silva, did have the potential for fireworks. But promises don't move the needle like high stakes. Until, of course, they come true and then some.
Brown is known as "The Immortal," and no fighter has so breathtakingly lived up to his nickname as he did in this third-round TKO. After being badly hurt by a body shot 30 seconds in, then spending the better part of the first round with Silva latched to his back, immobilizing him with a body triangle and clamping on a choke hold, the 33-year-old turned the tide with two minutes to go in the round and battered the Brazilian the rest of the way before referee Herb Dean mercifully jumped in at 2:11 of the third.
To say a star was born might be an overstatement. But only slightly. When Dana White walked into the cage to congratulate Brown (19-11) on his seventh straight victory, the UFC president looked like he'd just seen a UFO fly past his tingly, bewildered face. He invited Brown's whole family in to join the party, and Matt picked up his young twin boys and carried them around the cage as he waved to his friends and neighbors in the stands.
"Cincinnati, Ohio, who do you want to see fight for a title next?" Brown shouted into the microphone as he was being interviewed. Then, as the crowd roared, he pointed at White and said, "Right there's the man to talk to. Tell him what you want."
At that moment of exhilaration, White might well have been willing to give Brown anything he desired. Indeed, a short while later the poobah awarded the fighter $100,000 in performance bonuses. A title fight, though? Not yet, but this performance certainly added Brown to the heap of welterweight contenders.
Brown, strangely enough, wasn't so impressed by his performance. "I just did what I do," he said. "I didn't even think it was that good of a fight. I didn't feel my best at all tonight. It's my first main event, in my home state, close to my hometown. The pressure got to me a little bit. But once I started feeling the groove in the fight, I started pulling things together."
It was indeed a treacherous start for Brown, who stomped across the beer logo at the center of the cage as soon as the fighters were waved together and went right after Silva (16-5, 1 NC). This was a bit of a surprise, even given Brown's aggressive nature, because Silva is known as a sprinter, not a marathoner. All four of his UFC victories have been first-round stoppages, and opponents who've had the patience to wait him out have eventually taken advantage. But Brown couldn't wait to engage.
He soon paid the price when a left leg kick to the midsection dropped him, and Silva swarmed with a barrage of some 20 punches. Dean hovered nearby, but before he saw the need to intervene, Brown managed to get to his feet. That didn't last, as Silva took him back to the mat and got behind him, wrapping his legs around Brown's tender midsection and going for a neck crank, then a choke. Brown couldn't escape, but he fended off the Brazilian's arms well enough that the tide seemed to be turning even while "The Immortal" was in a bad position. Considering the relentlessness he'd shown in the past and Silva's propensity to fade, it seemed like only a matter of time before Brown would take over.
He did so with around two minutes to go in the first, and he savaged Silva for the rest of the round. The second round was even worse, as the Brazilian offered no offense. By the time Dean jumped in midway through the third, Brown had landed 118 significant strikes with 71 percent accuracy. Silva had connected with just 25.
As Brown and a building full of Ohioans celebrated, Silva lay on the canvas being attended to. He ended up being carried from the arena on a stretcher, a victim of his own toughness, really. Marveling at how the bout lasted as long as it did, Brown said, "I guess he's just that tough. Most people I hit [like] that, they go down."
Eventually, Silva went down and didn't get up. But Matt Brown sure went up, up, up.

Capslok posted a topic in Artists' CoveHello everyone! I'm Caps, I've been a lurker on Imps for some time now. I'm fairly active on the OF, but the OF is not very active with me - my current art thread there does not get a lot of traffic, which means I'm usually forced to re-edit new art onto my last post. This turns into a cycle of invisibility for my drawings, which is only acceptable for my drawings of Srams. It's discouraging! Also Nerodos gets mad because sometimes I post on the wrong account I'm sorry mushroom man I love you So now I'm here to share some of my older drawings (for now) as well as my new work (hopefully for some time to come)! Solar players may recognize some of the following hot bods, since I like to jump people at Astrub Zaap, paintbrush in hand. I'll also take this opportunity to plug my Twitch, Deviantart and Tumblr. And without further ado, here's my art dump! My Sram! Most important. The six Multimen, Scale's legs are goals A dear friend and beast Sacrier An edit of The Creation of Adam, featuring two of my friend's characters and misc. guild members A dumb comic about my rogue started in a delusional fit of grandeur (but never continued) Queen of Thieves! Only took 5 years off my life making this, no sweat I'm also looking in to formally opening commissions, as I just completed my first actual, paid project and it went really well! Below are some examples of avatars I've done (mostly for myself, I'm vain like that), followed by some sketchy doodle stuff and my three largest pieces (including a full-on wallpaper). That's all I've got for you for now, but I have great plans for the holidays mostly involving a lot of self-serving artwork. Or commissions! (hopefully commissions) If you've got any comments/critiques/questions please fire away, and thank you for reading!

The UK government may believe it has triumphed by overturning even the House of Lords' modest amendments to the Lobbying Bill. When this becomes law, it will gravely damage democracy and human rights. But defenders of freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association will not give up easily.

Even with the changes agreed as result of the Report Stage in the House of Lords this week, the UK government's Lobbying Bill remains a huge restriction on civil society campaigning compared to the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000.
January 15, 2014
A series of amendments are being tabled to the Lobbying Bill by Lord Harries today (15 January 2014), for which we offer a full briefing below.
December 16, 2013
Amendments in line with recommendations in the second Commission on Civil Society and Democratic Engagement (CCSDE) report on the government's Transparency in Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning, and Trade Union Administration Bill have been tabled by Lord Harries, the former Anglican Bishop of Oxford, for debate at Committee Stage in parliament on Monday 16 and Wednesday 18 December 2013.

For throwing punches and risking injury to the hands he needs to not catch passes with.
For trying to punch a teammate but having that opportunity, not surprisingly, slip right through his fingers.
And for learning that it's a lot harder to drop an opponent with one hand than it is to drop a ball with two.

thank you for watching what are they fighting about? The conflict is important because China and Japan are both large and important countries. Further disagreement or even war over the islands would destabilize the region (Asia). This will be very negative for its people and the economy. why is this conflict important? Neighbouring countries are concerned because China is very powerful. In addition China fears that the US is interfering in the conflict. This complicates the conflict over the 5 islands. conflict facts -The five islands have been under Japanese rule since 1895!
-China agreed to leave its claim on the five islands in the back burner.
-Due to changes in Japanese politics to nationalize the islands China has stepped up its effort to lay claim on the islands too.

Transforming legacy assets into RESTful APIs using IBM API Management V2
Software asset reuse has been an often sought-after yet infrequently achieved goal for IT departments. Adaptation of older assets in an ever-changing ecosystem makes reuse a time-consuming task. Frequently, too, a lack of knowledge of what assets are available prevents reuse and leads to reengineering. In either case the end result, too often, is redevelopment of a solution that already exists in another form.
The IBM API Management Version 2.0 product provides a platform from which an organization may expose web APIs in a secure and controlled manner. One feature of note in the product is the ability to transform existing APIs into modern web APIs. This article demonstrates how to use API Management to transform an existing WSDL-based SOAP service and associated database table into a web service.
The basic details on how to construct a simple assembly API using API Management are covered in the article Build a simple assembly API using IBM WebSphere Cast Iron Live Web API Services (see Related topics). This article builds on these concepts by demonstrating a transformational operation and linking operations to create a response.
Existing Artifacts
In this sample use case, there are two legacy artifacts that will be repurposed into a single web service. The first artifact is a SOAP-based web service that returns a United States state code using the provided latitude and longitude value. The second artifact is a DB2 database table of United States state facts. In this example, the SOAP web service response will be linked to a DB2 table lookup to provide a JSON-formatted response for a single web service.
Figure 1. Data flow of the State Information use case
Control flow points of interest:
- Any Web or Mobile client can invoke an HTTP Get request on the IBM API Management service for this solution. The request must provide a single String value that contains the latitude and longitude information as well as the Application ID of the calling application.
- The locationService resource of the Location API consumes the request. The application ID provided is validated and then the latitude/longitude parameter is passed to the legacy SOAP service.
- The response of the SOAP service is used to execute a SQL query against the DB2 table where the state information is stored.
- The result of the DB2 query is used to generate a JSON response.
- The JSON response is returned to caller from step #1.
The implementation shown above may be accomplished in six steps. The remainder of this document will describe the actions needed to complete this example.
Step 1. Create Location API
In this step, a new Location API is constructed. This API will hold the new API resource being created to support the state information web service.
- Log in to the API Manager console (Figure 2).
Figure 2. API Manager login
- After a successful login, create the API by clicking the Create link
(Figure 3).
Figure 3. Getting started page
- Clicking the Create link displays the APIs page. On this page,
click the add REST API button to create a new API (Figure 4).
Figure 4. APIs page
- Enter an API name, context and description and click Create
(Figure 5).
Figure 5. API Create Input panel
- After clicking the Create button, the new API is
created and a new entry is shown in the list of APIs on the
APIs page (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Location API entry on APIs page
Step 2. Create getStateInfo resource
Once the new Location API has been constructed, a new resource is needed. Each API created may contain multiple web services. Each service endpoint is described as an API Resource. These API resources are managed on the API's Resources tab.
- Click the Location API hot link or edit icon to enter the Location API overview page (Figure 7). From this page
the Location API can be edited.
Figure 7. Location API overview page
- Specify a unique context for the new resource. Include any parameters needed for this resource in the context specification. In this example, the 'latlng' parameter is specified (item 1 on Figure 8).
- Create a resource description (item 2 on Figure 8).
Once the context and description entries are complete, click the Add button.
Figure 8. Location API resources page
Click the Resources tab and then click the Add a Resource button. This
creates a new resource for the API. By default the resource is
designated as a GET operation. You must:
- After the new resource is created, it is shown in the Location API's
resources list (Figure 9). The new resource can be edited by clicking
the resource hot link or the edit icon.
Figure 9. New getStateInfo resource
- In the getStateInfo resource Overview tab (Figure 10), edit the
description field (1) and the Response Body (2). Enter an appropriate description
for parameter latlng. The Response Body for this resource is specified
using the JSON format.
Figure 10. Location API Overview tab
- Now click the Implementation tab and begin the next step, defining the web service invocation.
Step 3. Create Web Service Invoke operation
In this step you define the first of two operations. Operations contain the information needed to access the legacy resource to be represented by the new web service. One or more operations can be defined for the new resource. The two operations needed for this service are:
- Web Service Invoke Operation
- DB2 Execute Query Operation (covered in Step 4)
First define the Web Service Invocation resource, which returns a state code for the given latitude and longitude.
- When the implementation tab is first displayed, by default, the Proxy
method is selected (Figure 11). For this example, click the Assemble
Figure 11. Implementation tab
- On the Assemble page (Figure 12), click the add operation
button (1)
and then select the Web Service Invoke Operation (2).
Figure 12. Assemble page
- Next, define the Connect section of the operation. For the Connect section,
you must:
- Specify the existing service connection. In this example, there is a web-based WSDL file that is identified in the URL for the WSDL field.
- Specify a name.
Once these two fields are defined, click the Test button to validate the WSDL.
Figure 13. Web Service Operation Connect definition
- Once the WSDL is validated, a list of available fields is presented in the
Discover section of the operation. In this section, the list of available
objects is displayed in a tree on the left. On the right is a list of
available fields for the selected object on the left. In this example, the
Service being invoked is called LocationDataImplService. The port type is
called LocationDataImpl. The operation is getStateName. When the operation
is selected, a list of available fields is displayed. The field needed for
identifying the latitude and longitude is called latlng. After
selecting latlng, a mapping is needed between the input parameters of this
newly defined service and the legacy service being defined. This mapping
is done in the Configure section of the operation. Proceed to that
section by clicking Configure on the progress bar.
Figure 14. Web Service Operation Discover definition
- From the Configure section the inputs from the new API can be mapped to the
inputs of the legacy service. Two methods are available for mapping these
- The Select Values method provides a list of possible values to choose for each request input defined for the new service. The list of possible values was defined in this case based on what was selected in the previous step (Discover).
- The Map Values method is the one being used in this example. In this method a list of input values for the new service is shown on the left under the Available Values header. The list of input values for the legacy service is shown on the right under the Input Variables header (Figure 15). A line may be drawn from point (1) to point (2) to map the values. Additional transformation operations may be made to the value using the control (+). In this case, no such transformations are needed.
Once the mapping is complete, click the Review section of the progress bar.
Figure 15. Web Service Operation Configure definition
- The Review section provides a summary of the input mapping actions just taken. It also provides input controls which allow for special handling of error conditions. Review the mapping actions taken and add any special error conditions if desired. For this example, no special conditions need to be defined.
Step 4. Create DB2 Execution Query
Once the Web Service invocation is complete, the results of that call are used to perform a SQL query on a DB2 table. This step describes the actions needed to support such an operation.
- Similar to step 3, add a new operation. First click the Add Operation
button (1) and then select the DB2 Execute Query (2) as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16. Add DB2 Execute Query
- Clicking the Execute Query action creates a new DB2 Execute Query
operation. The existing connection now needs to be defined. This is where the
DB2 database connectivity is specified (Figure 17). Once all the
details are entered, click the CONNECT button to validate the connection
and proceed to the Discover definition.
Figure 17. DB2 Execute Query Connect definition
- On the Discover section of this operation, the query used to extract the
data from the table needs to be defined. By default, API Management
prompts with the Build Query input page. In this example, the SQL statement
is already known, so click the Enter Query button (1). Then enter the SQL
statement into the input control (2) as shown Figure 18.
Figure 18. DB2 Execute Query Discover definition
- Click the Configure section of the progress bar to proceed. On this
page, the result of the Web Service Invocation is mapped as input to the
DB2 Execute Query SQL statement. API Management defaults to the
Select Values style input. Click the Map Values button (1). Then draw a line
from the result value of the Web Service Invoke Operation (2)
on the left (under
Available values) to the SQL Input Variables on the right (3) as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19. DB2 Query Configure definition
- As with the Web Service Invocation, the Review section provides a summary of the input mapping actions described in the Configure section. It, too, provides input controls which allow for special handling of error conditions. Review the mapping actions taken and add any special error conditions if desired. For this example, no special conditions need to be defined.
Step 5. Define Response
Now that both legacy operations have been defined, the new web service needs a response. The response will use the results from the DB2 Query and provide them as JSON data as described in the Step 2 definition of the Response Body.
First, click the Response button (1) as shown in Figure 20. By default, API Management presents the Select Values style input. Click the Map Values button (2) to select that style input. On the Map Values input page, draw a line from left to right for all value mappings. All possible values from the previously defined operations are listed on the left under the Available values heading. All result values are listed on the right under the Input variables heading. Draw a line from the left to the right for each value in the JSON result (3).
Figure 20. Response definition
As with the Web Service Invocation, the Review section provides a summary of the input mapping actions described in the Configure section. It also provides input controls which allow for special handling of error conditions. Review the mapping actions taken and add any special error conditions if desired. For this example, no special conditions need to be defined.
Step 6. Test the new service
With the Response defined, the new service is ready for testing. API Management provides a test framework for APIs it contains. The test tool is available from the API input page defined in Step 1.
- Go back to the API overview page as shown in Figure 21. On this page, start the service by
clicking the start button (1). When the service starts, click the
Test tab (2) to launch the test tool.
Figure 21. API overview
- On the test tool page shown in Figure 22, select the API resource, select the test
application, and specify any input values first (1), then click the Test
button (2)
to execute the test.
Figure 22. Test configuration
- Click the Test button to exercise the new API. The result of the call is
displayed below the input values. Figure 23 shows the result of the getStateInfo
resource defined in this article.
Figure 23. Test result
As demonstrated in this article, API Management provides a rich toolset that will aid you in publishing and managing software assets. Like a fresh coat of paint, repackaging and publishing older APIs makes them attractive to potential users. API Management capabilities extend beyond the API authoring tools discussed here. The product also contains API metering functionality, analytics, and a user-configurable API portal.

Beach erosion is a New Jersey preoccupation, costing taxpayers millions of dollars each year to keep homes safe and tourists happy.
But researchers say they have a promising solution to equally troubling erosion in the state's marshes.
Salt marshes are an important buffer to protect coastal properties from storms and floods, said Danielle Kreeger, science director with the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
They filter dirty water and provide a home to many baby fish that eventually end up on local dinner plates. And they trap carbon that otherwise could get released into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases.
But just as they devastate beaches, coastal storms can carve away the marsh in jagged cliffs, turning once-green salt meadows into open water prone to flooding.
Researchers in southern New Jersey are testing new methods that could solve this problem.
"The goal of the study was to test different approaches and tactics and figure out which worked and which didn't," she said.
In 2008, the Delaware nonprofit group worked with Rutgers University's Haskins Shellfish Research Lab to install natural breakwaters along eroding marsh in the Maurice River. The groups staked down giant logs made of coconut fiber and seeded them with mussels.
The mussels formed mats that deflected waves and held vegetation and wetland mud in place, even during this past winter's harsh northeasters and the retreat of the bay ice with the spring thaw.
Promising results
Kreeger said they tested some of the mats in parts of the Maurice River that would see lots of wave action, knowing they probably could not withstand the constant barrage. They were right. Many of the mats washed away, she said.
But in areas that saw minimal wave action from passing boats, the incoming tide or the occasional storm, the logs and mussels worked to trap mud and raise the marsh's elevation. They call the mats "living shorelines," an alternative to expensive and permanent bulkheads.
The mussel reefs used in the research project cost about $10 per linear foot.
"Living shorelines are effective up the tributaries and along tidal rivers. But it's going to be a really good tactic for some of the marinas," she said.
David Bushek, an associate professor of shellfish ecology at Rutgers University, said the research could help New Jersey towns address rising sea levels, especially in communities along the Barnegat, Great Egg Harbor and Delaware bays.
"Over geological time, as sea level has risen and fallen, the marsh has retreated or advanced. But this is a problem since we developed to the marsh edge," he said.
Rising sea levels will lead to greater flooding during coastal storms. Without the marsh as a buffer, bayfront residents will be more vulnerable to storm damage.
Marsh erosion does not get the same state or federal attention as beach erosion, which has a direct impact on southern New Jersey's No. 1 industry, tourism. But its effects can be equally devastating.
"Look at towns like Moores Beach in Maurice River Township that are gone now," Bushek said. "Sea Breeze has a big sea wall there now. The communities along the Delaware Bay are at risk."
This year, the researchers hope to find out whether the logs attract native mussels and what effects, if any, they have on other marine life, Bushek said.
"We hope for a lot of natural recruitment," he said. "We'll look at the fauna they recruit — things that attach to the structures and the crabs, fish and shrimp that come in and forage."
And they plan to raise mussels in a hatchery in Cape May County.
Local officials said they recognize the value of the research project.
"Erosion is changing the face of the meadows," Downe Township Deputy Mayor Lisa Garrison said. "You're seeing flooding in new areas because of tidal changes. We have experience with this by Maple Creek."
Her family farms salt hay, but lately some meadows have become too inundated with water to reach, she said.
"You would want to catch erosion early because this is going to hit us on a lot of faces," she said.
Permit obstacles
Complicating the project, Kreeger said, were cumbersome state regulations that could discourage future projects.
"It is harder to get a permit to do a living shoreline than to do a bulkhead in New Jersey," Kreeger said.
Her group spent $20,000 of its $40,000 project grant on winning permits from the state Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This could discourage private landowners from considering this alternative form of erosion control, she said.
"The shoreline is changing from day to day. But the permitting requires a detailed site plan that says where every peg is going to go," she said. "We couldn't do that. They're used to design plans from a drafting company or design firm. But as a research study, we weren't equipped to provide the level of detail that they expected."
Scott Brubaker, the DEP's assistant commissioner for land use, said the estuary group received its permit less than four months after applying in December of 2007. He said the group first needed to address how its project might affect threatened and endangered species, such as ospreys.
"It seems a simple permit on the face but there were a lot of things that had gone into getting the permit," he said.
Brubaker said his agency is working to streamline permits under Gov. Chris Christie.
"Whatever streamlining efficiencies we can pull out, we'll do that," he said. "I would hope that the experience someone has coming in the door today would be better than the experience in 2008."
But worse, Kreeger said, the state would not permit the group to use oysters. A combination of oysters and mussels might be a better erosion control, but the state would not let the group harvest oysters from closed sites for fear they would contain toxic bacteria.
The state's rationale in denying the request was that oysters harvested illegally from the erosion project by poachers might make people sick, which could hurt the reputation of the state's oyster industry, Kreeger said.
"Funding for oyster restoration is supposed to improve ecological conditions — not to support the oyster industry. But as long as you have policies preventing that, it cuts you out of the funding loop," she said.
DEP spokesman Larry Hajna said the Maurice River waterways are not classified for oyster restoration. This classification system takes water quality — and public health — into consideration when identifying future oyster beds, he said.

Dear friends and family,
I wanted to let you know about some changes on the very near horizon for the Brawner family. It's with tremendous excitement and sorrow, in equal measure, that I write these words.
Earlier this week, I accepted an offer to come and serve as the Worship Pastor at Grace Bible Church here in Houston. My final Sunday at Lakewood UMC will be on February 15th, after which I will begin serving full-time at GBC.
I can't begin to express the love I feel for the people of LUMC and the gratitude I feel for the time I've spent, the lessons I've learned and the relationships I've formed in this place over the last 5 1/2 years. Thankfully, I will still be directly connected to the life of this congregation through my wife, Lacie, as she will be remaining in her role on the staff here. And, as we do not intend to relocate in the immediate future, we will also still be neighbors.
You all have taught me so much as a congregation, and loved us so well over these years. I will always cherish my time on this staff and will miss being a regular part of the life of this church.
I have complete confidence in the leadership of this congregation and their vision for the future of this place, and I truly can't wait to see how God brings that vision to fruition in the coming weeks and months. You're in good hands, dear friends.
Your prayers are appreciated as we begin the transition process over the next couple of weeks. Thanks so much! -LB
