You're going to get different perspectives on this. Many people choose muted, natural colors to better blend in.
I do, however, choose bright colors for some of my gear, which comes from my experience back country snowmobiling. It's often hard to find people in dark clothing, even if you're looking right at them, especially if they aren't moving. One guy we ride with wears a neon orange coat, and we can see him over a mile away, even with trees around him. It was a lesson to me, and I always carry at least one very bright piece of gear (often a windbreaker or hardshell) to help me get found if necessary.
Do you have a link for the SAR you are referring to?May 29, 2013 at 12:46 pm #1990885
A lot of my winter gear is bright coloured but the rest of it is failry neutral with a few exceptions.

Aye, Stephen – I noticed WPB jackets were generally offered in much more muted colours last time I was over in the UK. But that windshirt will add peace of mind during hunting season hikes over here…May 29, 2013 at 1:27 pm #1990903

"And you run.
Flinging with reckless abandon. Down the ridge, bouncing off trees, following the voice. And you're drenched in sweat. "How far did I just run, I can't even see me campsite from here?" Could have been 5 minutes, could have been 15, could have been 30. and you see her, where she fell, a woman, in the snow, and a child is crying, and a man, maybe husband swaying, holding it together, and he says, she can;t move. and all you have is your thermos just hot water, it was what was in your hands, when you heard it, and hot water, not even tea, and just your jacket, and your headlamp, "OMG my headlamp!" so lucky, because it was approaching dusk"
I have headed out more than once because of the ominous cry for help. But never once was it my firt instinct to start running/snowshoeing/split boarding through the wilderness with out even having the proper tools to help someone(shovel, knife, lighter, head lamp, GPS). Thats like trying to save some one from deadly rapids by diving in after them fully clothed with no life jacket. And while the color of the clothes might help a little your best bet is going to be the emergency whistle… It doesnt require a line of site to be useful and works at night where it would be hard to see no matter what color.
Edit: To be perfectly honest I am usually in no hurry to head out to help some one at night and the attitude is more like "Ugh im so comfortable and ready to be asleep what asshole is lost in the dark this time?" Usually its people that think they are smarter than they are and people that over estimate there ability(Vanity). Neither of which I have patience for. Obviously this is not the case all he time but its the only circustances I've ran into.May 29, 2013 at 1:58 pm #1990911

In before this blows up…
I like primary colors so I gravitate towards brightly-colored gear naturally. But more than colors, I like gear I can afford. My primary pants, shirt, and hat are khaki (yes, I call myself the Khaki Nightmare, truly a sight to behold). My rainpants, windbreaker, and shoes are black. My rainjacket, puffy, fleece vest, ALL my packs, packraft and pfd are blue instead of a more visible red or yellow. My winter bag is light grey and my summer bag is dark green. My hammock is a hideous purple with orange and blue lines, but my tarp is a dark green, so you don't really see the garishness. I do use glowire for my guylines (because SHINY). I have one fleece shirt that is bright red. Almost all these items were purchased used, so I had no say in the color.May 29, 2013 at 2:10 pm #1990914

In rainy, increasingly snowy conditions, having bright colors for clothes, camp gear, and all sorts of extra stuff is probably wise. In the desert southwest however, I'm more concerned about overheating and UV exposure everyday, thus most of my tops in light tan, gray-silver, etc.. If in a bind in arid conditions, there's my bright red sleeping bag anyways for overnight emergencies (though in the dark, maybe a blinking headlamp may be more appropriate. Perhaps a new Golite umbrella?May 29, 2013 at 2:11 pm #1990917

I got halfway through it, and started to wonder if it was generated by an algorithm. I couldn't be sure, but I was certainly questioning if I had been duped into reading a spam post.
The constantly changing fashionable take on Backpacking in cheerful bright colored gear demonstrates the depth of the subject. Especially in Japanese culture. Until recently considered taboo amongst polite society, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. Inevitably Backpacking with cheerful bright colors, not camp gear, is often misunderstood by global commercial enterprises, trapped by their infamous history. Though I would rather be in bed I will now examine the primary causes of Backpacking using cheerful bright colors gear. What I call Ultrabright backpacking.
Social Factors
Interweaving social trends form a strong net in which we are all trapped. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' [1] he must have been referning to Backpacking cheerful in colored gear. A society without Backpacking in cheerful bright colored gear is like a society without knowledge, in that it is quite good, but also like society without booze in that it is quite boring.
Recent thoughts on cheerful bright colors in backpacking gear has been a real eye-opener for society from young to old. Society says that every man must find their own truth. While one sees Backpacking in cheerful bright colors gear inferior to black gear, another may see monkeys playing tennis.
Economic Factors
Do we critique the markets, or do they in-fact critique us? We shall examine the Spanish-Armada model
It is apparent that the influence of Backpacking light likes black, but ryan jordans interest in bright colored gear is strong. He sold red, orange, green, and blue items. What is the secret to its strength? Does not dye add strycturistical integrity ? Obviously interest cannot sustain this instability for long, black alone is insufficient. In the light of this free trade must be examined.
Political Factors
Modern politics owes much to the animal kingdom. Politicians find it difficult to choose between what has become known in politics as – 'The two ways' – 0
We cannot talk of Backpacking in cheerful bright colorful clothes and politics without remembering the words of style icon Odysseus B. Adger 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.' [2] I argue that his insight into Backpacking gear and life in general provided the inspiration for these great words. If I may be as bold as to paraphrase, he was saying that 'political ideals are built on the solid cornerstone of Backpacking , and cheerful bright colors gear enhances the cornerstone for all time.
One thing's certain. The Human species liberally desires Backpacking in cheerful bright colors, not grey and brown gear, and what's more human than politics?
What can we conclude? Well, Backpacking and cheerful bright colors gear parades along man's streets and man waves back. It brings peace, applauds greatness and is always fashionably late.
I will leave you with the words of Hollywood's Courteney Malkovitch: 'My Daddy loved Backpacking cheerful bright colored gear and his Daddy loved Backpacking in cheerful bright colored gear.' [3]

This is a good thing to cover as the hiking season starts to ramp up.
I don't deliberately wear bright colors, but you could add a bright bandana and signalling devices are part of the essentials. I've been cornered into it with some of my gear due to marketing and bargain hunting: my Houdini windshirt is a bright fluorescent green and it was a really good deal too :) I've always thought that bright colors are an excellent idea for kid's clothing. If I'm hiking during hunting season, I'll happily light my self up like a fireworks show.
BTW, the article on the lost State Trooper was from the Everett Herald:

This advice is comletely contrary to the "Leave No Trace" ethic:
"Bright clothing and equipment, such as tents can be seen for long distances are discouraged. Especially in open natural areas, colors such as day-glow yellow are disturbing and contribute to a crowded feeling; choose earth-toned colors (ie. browns and greens) to lessen visual impacts."
Considering the extremely small percentage of trips that end up requiring SAR, I would far rather follow the LNT guidelines. Signaling capability, such as a headlamp with blinking light feature and a whistle, should be more than sufficient.
You are extremely lucky that in your mad dash you did not become a second victim–it sounds as though you almost did! The following is from the Wallet Skill Guide from Medic First Aid International, but it has been taught in every first aid class I've ever taken, including two Wilderness First Aid courses:
"Rule #1: Ensure your own personal safety! Think SETUP:
Stop–pause to identify hazards
Environment–consider your surroundings
Traffic–be careful along roadways
Unknown–consider hazards not always apparent
Protect yourself."
Rather than relying on neon-colored gear (which will offend most of your fellow hikers) and risking your own life when someone hollers "Help," I suggest taking a Wilderness First Aid class. In any such situation as you describe, what's in the area between your ears is by far your most important piece of gear! Certainly taking your pack and emergency gear with you, taking the time to take down your shelter and pack it up, is vitally important in any emergency situation!May 29, 2013 at 4:54 pm #1990989

That seems like complete bullpucky to me. I thought LNT was about not damaging the ecosystem beyond the limits of its resilience. My purple hammock (admittedly hideous) is a threat to the ecosystem? Or just to the delicate eyes of nature nannies?May 29, 2013 at 5:03 pm #1990996

wear what you want … if people complain about your orange patagucci being not LNT … then complain about their big bad SUV they took to the trailhead, all the shipping from gear swap, all that wasted gear in the closet killing the planet … the color unlike their gear and travel habits wont cause cute white bears to die ;)
if you want to wear dark colors go for it … just be aware that people have had issues being found, and some probably never found because they didnt have anything that could easily be spotted from the air
people make their own choices … the bears are very hungry these days =PMay 29, 2013 at 6:00 pm #1991022

No joke, I had a roommate who had a dark green car in Seattle. He was sideswiped three times because people just didn't see it against all the foliage. In my estimation he was a good driver. I encouraged him to always drive with the headlights on.May 29, 2013 at 6:20 pm #1991043

Black pack and muted colors for me. Sorry. I've been involved in a helicopter rescue. Pilot could not spot a 3'x5' American flag being waved on the ground. Noise will get you found faster in close area on the ground situation than color will. You followed the sound. Very hard to see red at dusk. Yellow blends in in fall, as does orange. An individual is an insignificant speck in the wilderness. No matter the color they are wearing.
No perfect answer.
LNT doesn't want you to stick out either.
Be mindful out there.May 29, 2013 at 6:23 pm #1991044

Conjugation: requires two bacteria connected via a pilus
Transformation: DNA (from environment) is taken up be a cell and incorporated
Transduction: DNA is exchanged via a virus particle
Allows bacteria to "eat" penicillin and thus, not be killed.
Exoenzyme spewed into the environment by bacteria.
What do antibiotics treat? Bacterial vs. Viral, Antibiotics ONLY treat bacteria infections.
Saving antibiotics for a "rainy day", Most antibiotics break down into harmful substances when left on the shelf. (FIND SOURCE!), Not taking a full course of antibiotics can cause the patient to be reinfected if not every single organism is killed.
We live in a quick fix society, where people want to fix their problems quickly.
Patient's often demand that an antibiotic treatment be given, even if antibiotics may not help., IE: The cold, the cold is the rhinovirus, virii are not destroyed by antibiotics.
Resistant bacteria can evolve from patient's with respiratory or urinary tract infections 1-12 months after using antibiotics., Antibiotic resistant organisms are now able to colonize otherwise healthy individuals., Shenoy, M, G Bhat, A Kishore, and M Hassan.

Do broad spectrum antibiotics increase the occurence of resistance?
Broad spectrum are frequently used when a specific infection is unknown.
Narrow spectrum is given for specific infections and kills just that organism.
Antibiotic usage has increased from 34-45% since 1998.
Positive correlation between resistant type organisms and primary care physicans prescribing antibiotics.
Physician's are prescribing antibiotics for otitis media more frequently, even though the infection will go away without treatment.
Hospitals that utilized antibiotics the most had higher rates of resistant organisms.
Are physicians prescribing more antibiotics to make patients more satisfied with their care?, If a patient does not get antibiotics from this physician, they can get it somewhere else.
Are physicians overwhelmed from seeing so many patients, so it is easier to prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic vs. narrow?

Italy's Senate to vote for cuts to save euro zone
Silvio Berlusconi has promised to resign after the financial stability law is passed.
Rome: Italy's Senate was set to vote on Friday for austerity measures demanded by the European Union to avert a euro zone meltdown and a new emergency government is expected within days, ending the Berlusconi era.
The upper house is due to begin debating at 0930 GMT on the package with the result due later in the day and the law is seen passing easily, having been approved by the upper house budget committee on Thursday night.
Voting for the first time in the upper house will be Mario Monti, the former European Commissioner who has emerged as favorite to replace Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
President Giorgio Napolitano, to pave the way for Monti's appointment, made him a life senator on Wednesday, in a surprise move that raised his already high profile and instantly made him a legislator.
Berlusconi, who lost his majority in a vote on Tuesday night, has promised to resign after the financial stability law is passed by both houses of parliament.
The law is due to be approved by the lower house Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. This means Napolitano may accept Berlusconi's resignation as early as Saturday night and formally mandate Monti to try to form a new government soon afterwards.
Napolitano has urged parliament to act fast and some commentators say a new government made up mostly of technocrats could be in place as early as Sunday night before markets open on Monday.
The president moved quickly to calm markets on Wednesday after Italy's borrowing costs reached levels that could close its access to market funding, a development which would threaten the future of the euro zone.
He gave assurances that Berlusconi would honor his pledge to step down after parliament approved reforms geared to placate markets and he would waste no time in either appointing a new government or calling new elections.
Berlusconi changes his mind
At first Berlusconi had insisted that early elections were the only option but he has since softened his stand and is said by sources to be open to a new government.
Monti, a highly respected international figure, has been pushed by markets for weeks as the most suitable figure to lead a national unity government to urgently push through painful austerity measures.
Napolitano met Monti on Thursday night, and, in a sign of the urgency of the situation, spoke by telephone with US President Barack Obama.
In one badly needed success that calmed markets somewhat, Italy managed to sell 5 billion euro of one-year bonds on Thursday, but had to pay a whopping 6.087 per cent interest rate, the highest in 14 years.
It was not clear how much of Berlusconi's PDL, which has undergone many defections and splits in the past few days, would support the new government, expected to include respected experts as well as a few politicians.
It will be supported by most centrists and the biggest opposition force, the Democratic Party.
Berlusconi's chief coalition partner, the Northern League, has said it would not back Monti.
Monti, who is currently head of Milan's prestigious Bocconi university, is a tough negotiator with a record of taking on powerful corporate interests as European Competition Commissioner.

The French-flagged luxury cruise line Ponant will open its Cuba cruises to vacationers from the United States starting 2017. Ponant is the second cruise line during the last month to get permission from the government of Cuba to do so. Carnival's Fathom brand received permission on March 21.
The "People-to-People Cultural Exchange" cruises of Ponant will run 7 or 8 nights onboard the Le Ponant. The sailings will operate from early Jan 2017 through Apr 2017 (and again in 2018) roundtrip out of Miami. The ship will be making calls at Santiago de Cuba and Havana.
Pearl Seas Cruises is also selling voyages to Cuba sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, but hasn't yet announced approval from the government and had to cancel the first two planned cruises. Americans can now book sailings on Cuba Cruise, a Canadian company that offers voyages from Montego Bay and Havana. The American-owned company International Expeditions also runs people-to-people sailings for Americans from Havana.
MSC had a ship homeported in Havana. In late 2016 the company will add another. However, those sailings are not open to Americans.

New Delhi, Jun 25 (UNI) Delhi Education Minister Arvinder Lovely today said Delhi had become a pioneer state in the field of school education as its government schools were outshining well-established public schools.
''Our government has been continuously taking new initiatives to make school education more purposeful and up-to-date,''Mr Lovely said, at a function at Delhi University, where he along with Education Secretary Rina Ray were felicitated for the exemplary performance of Government school students in the CBSE Board Examinations.
The Minister said he was touched, moved and inspired by the gesture shown by the Delhi University fraternity and would work with more vigour to make the Capital reach the pinnacle of education.
The Minister said Delhi was the only State in India to provide computer education to all Government schools' students and the Department of education was the first department in the Delhi to have e-governance in place.
Mr Lovely said the results of the Government schools have turned on the heat on public schools and despite putting lot of efforts they were not able to match the Government schools results, infrastructure and competitiveness.
Speaking on the occasion, Education Secretary Rina Ray said, ''this gesture shown by the people of University of Delhi is morale boosting and will infuse tremendous will in us to work further for the cause of education in Delhi.'' The Minister said the Govt had implemented 20 per cent freeship quota for the EWS category to give them enough representation in all the schools in the Capital.

There is a reason Heinlein is a SF master. This book is a good example. Great story.
I don't know what I had expected from this Hugo award-winning science fiction novel but it was so much better than I had anticipated! The main reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that Heinlein's personal views on politics (as voiced by Prof) were a little too pushy & some of the Earth politics was dated. However, it remains an insightful look at colonialism & revolution despite those flaws. And I loved the look at how the Luna colonists handled marriage as well as other aspects of life there. To top it all off, there is Mike -- the computer who has become sentient though nobody except Manny knows it at the start of the book!
Lloyd James does an excellent narration & I particularly liked his Russian accent for Manny (though I don't know if a character who is 3rd generation Luna with a name like Manuel Garcia O'Kelly-Davis is supposed to be Russian!).
It's not easy writing a short review of a major classic in the science fiction circles. It's almost as if you have to write a positive review to really be "accepted." Fortunately that's not this review!
I like Heinlein's shorter novels such as Farmer in the Sky, Starship Troopers and Space Cadets. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, story of a revolution against the harsh yolk of Authority from Earth, is a drawn-out ramble in deep need of editing.
Despite the rambling dialogue and pages & pages of family life and long commentaries on social etiquette on the Moon, there are several interesting themes throughout.
Manuel is an engineer and is disabled, and is able to put on various "arms" that he uses in his work. He has an extended or "line" family where you can have several wives and different levels of husbands. This gets confusing but is fun to read about. Heinlein's version of new future relations no doubt. These are frowned on when Manuel gets back to Earth looking for acceptance for his new government on the Moon, even to a point of a jail sentence for polygamy!
Manuel's friend is a computer that has achieved sentience -- Mike! Mike slowly learns the personalities of those around him as he develops his own. Unlike "computer comes to sentience and kills his creator"-type of stories, Mike becomes indispensable in rallying the humans to throw off the yolk of oppression.
Heinlein's commentaries on governments, libertarian ideals and forcing acceptance through meteor-throwing are also interesting. Lots of people die in this novel – certainly not a young adult book! – But the reader does not have time to mourn as we move on through the book.
Bottom Line:
The book makes some very discussion-worthy comments on marriage & relationships, government oppression, the true meanings of freedom and what that costs and the realization that there really is no such thing as a free lunch!
Recommended for its place in science fiction and being brave enough to tackle the themes of the day, but be prepared for a long and at times tedious read!
I liked the way "Mike" was brought to life. Making the whole story a parallel to the US Revolutionary war was interesting the first time, doesn't stand up as well on rereading. I always cry at the end though. (Someone asked me if I cry a lot - yep, it's one of the signs that the book pulled me into the story line and the characters.)
A SF story about a civilization taking place on the Moon and their fight for independence from their Terran masters. I really enjoyed the way the inhabitants on the moon had a very different lifestyle, politics, and way of life and seemed like a great exploration of alternative civilizations. The fight for independence was well-written, interesting, and, at times, exciting. Parallels can easily be drawn throughout our history, but with a SF twist. The only drawback was that it could get overly technical at times, but I really enjoyed this book.
None of these complaints are to say that Harsh Mistress is a straight-up bad book. As with any Heinlein book, it offers a lot of food for thought and fodder for argument.

A small band of dissidents, including a one-armed computer jock, a radical young woman, a past-his-prime academic and a nearly omnipotent computer named Mike, ignite the fires of revolution despite the near certainty of failure and death.

Well that's what this writer wrote.. I ran accross this story on HuffingtonPost claiming Obama "played the hip-hop community." It has some valid points but I don't know, whatcha think?!
It's written by this guy named Erik Nielson who is an Assistant Professor of Liberal Arts at the University of Richmond, where he teaches courses on hip hop culture, African American literature, and advanced writing.
Just weeks after the 2008 election of Barack Obama, Jay Z let his euphoria pour out onto his remix of Young Jeezy's pro-Obama anthem, "My President." Acknowledging the decades of black struggle that culminated in this historic moment, he rapped, "Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk. / Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run. / Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly." Far from a trendsetter, J-Hova was articulating the hope and optimism that scores of rappers had been expressing in albums, mix tapes, videos and interviews for over a year — a hope that with the election of a "hip hop president," the man dubbed B-Rock by Vibe, America would finally enter a new era of freedom and opportunity where "all the children could fly."
There was something remarkable about seeing rappers pledge their support to a mainstream presidential candidate, especially given the history of antipathy between national politicians and hip hop. And, of course, there was something equally remarkable about watching a future president embrace hip hop culture. Indeed, whereas politicians on both sides of the aisle had made a political tradition out of demonizing hip hop, Obama was shoulder brushing and fist bumping during campaign events, making appearances with a number of rappers, and even suggesting that hip hop would have a place and a voice in the White House. There were some early voices of skepticism — Rosa Clemente, insisting that Obama should not be considered a "hip hop president," argued forcefully that the president was merely using the movement to get himself into office. But voices of dissent like Clemente's were easily drowned out by the well-known rappers who assured us Barack was our man. In his 2008 "Open Letter to Barack Obama," for example, Talib Kweli said, "this man deserves our support." Nas vouched for Obama, too, saying, "I'm thinking I can trust this brother" on his track "Black President."
By now, it's obvious that this trust was badly misplaced and that Obama's hip-hop-infused campaign of 2008 was a slick marketing hustle that a lot of artists fell for. As I have written before, Obama beat a hasty retreat from hip hop right after 2008 — a trajectory that Michelle Obama appears to be following even now if her recent disparaging remarks about ballers and rappers are any indication. But what's more disappointing is the number of ways that Obama has betrayed the hip hop community through his policy decisions.
Just before the 2012 election, Fredrick Harris wrote that "the Obama presidency has already marked the decline, rather than the pinnacle, of a political vision centered on challenging racial inequality," contending that Obama has systematically ignored racial discrimination, economic injustice, and the mass incarceration of black men — all issues, incidentally, that hip hop artists and activists regularly cite as needing urgent political reform. Echoing Harris's point, Cornel West has argued that Obama's first term has amounted to a kind of racial betrayal, at one point provocatively calling the president a "Rockefeller Republican in blackface."
While the rhetoric may be overcharged, it's hard to disagree that Obama's first four and a half years have been abysmal, especially for a self-proclaimed progressive. He's done next to nothing to address the ongoing war on drugs, the exploding incarceration rate in the U.S., or the astounding growth of for-profit prisons, all fueled in large part by the systematic criminalization of people of color. For four straight years, his administration has set records for the number of people it has deported. He has made jokes about his unprecedented use of extra-judicial drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists, has supported the indefinite detention of Americans without trial and has left Guantanamo Bay open despite promises to close it. Under Obama's watch, black unemployment is stuck at surprisingly high rates, even as white unemployment is dropping, and he appears to be doing nothing about it. He has been frustratingly silent about the country's pathological attachment to guns and the suffering it causes, especially among black youth in cities across the country. And in decidedly un-hip-hop fashion, his administration has even gone after 2Pac's godmother, former Black Panther Assata Shakur, making her the first woman ever to appear on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List.

Brendan Rodgers' side face a daunting introduction to the top-flight but may fancy their chances against a club that has never won an opening day Premier League fixture at home
Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov
De Jong, Yaya Toure, Barry
Silva, Dzeko, Balotelli
Rangel, Williams, Caulker, Tate
Sinclair, Allen, Britton, Dobbie, Dyer
Manchester City's new £38 million man Sergio Aguero is expected to start the game on the bench for the hosts with manager Roberto Mancini insisting he is not yet ready to play 90 minutes.
The game also comes too soon for compatriot Carlos Tevez, with the striker having only recently returned to the club for training; Kolo Toure, meanwhile, remains suspended.
Swansea could hand debuts to a host of players including record signing Danny Graham, Leroy Lita, Wayne Routledge and Steven Caulker.
The club also have two new goalkeepers, after allowing Dorus De Vries to move to Wolves, meaning Jose Moreira and Michel Vorm will both be fighting for a starting spot with the latter tipped to get the nod.
However, one man who looks set to miss out is captain Garry Monk who has a foot problem and may have to wait to make his Premier League bow.
- Manchester City's top scorer last season in the Premier League was Carlos Tevez with 20 goals. However, the next best were a long way behind; Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure both managing just six each.
- However, Roberto Mancini's men had the best defence in the top-flight last season, conceding just 33 goals, including 18 clean sheets.
- Yet City have never won at home on the opening day of a Premier League season. In five attempts they have drawn the lot.
- Swansea City, meanwhile, have a similarly poor record on opening day. They have failed to win their first fixture for the last five seasons.
- However, they will make history on Monday night when they become the first Welsh side ever to play in the Premier League.
- The omens do not bode well for Swansea, however, the last time the two sides met, on 7 April 1984 in the old Division Two, they lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City.

Morbark 1600 puts out 700 cubic yards per hour
Touted as the most "purpose-built" machine in Morbark's 50-year history, model 1600 tub grinder purports to put up some impressive production numbers: up to 700 cubic yards per hour in green waste and more than 500 yph in stumps and logs, says Dan Brandon, marketing manager. These numbers can vary depending on material and screen openings, as well as operator and support equipment.
Base diameter measures 11 feet 2 inches, and tub capacity is 20 cubic yards, which Morbark says is the largest made. A choice of Caterpillar or Cummins diesel can provide a minimum of 1,000 or maximum of 1,200 horsepower. The six-foot hammermill offers 22 hammers as standard, allowing enough space between hammers to grind landfill material; mixed debris; and large, chunky wood. In regrind applications, users can convert to a 30-hammer pattern in an hour.
The company says the grinder can easily keep up with a 13-yard bucket feeding it material, and it built the discharge system with a 60-inch-wide belt for quick discharge. Morbark's three-auger system reduces abuse and wear on the belt, Brandon says, which can be damaged by "wood 'spears' that can be shot out of the hammermill at incredible velocity."
"These belts are a high-wear, high-cost replacement item," Brandon says. "Hard-surfaced steel augers are an efficient way to exit large volumes of material from under the mill." A pressure sensor will stop the tub if augers become overloaded.
Also standard on the 1600 is the company's Iqan system, although this is the first tub grinder that features the programming tool. A computer module receives input from hundreds of sensors that monitor hydraulic pressures, temperatures, loads, auger pressure, and other functions, Brandon says. The operator can set parameters based on the material in order "to achieve the greatest output while maintaining the optimum engine load."
"For example," he says, "if the discharge augers come under heavy load because of a large surge of material, the Iqan senses this and tells the tub rotation to slow down or even stop and reverse until the load on the augers reaches optimum parameters." In addition, Iqan has an optional satellite link that allows a service tech to monitor and diagnose problems.

Morbark combines heavy-duty construction and new technology in the 1300B tracked tub grinder
The all-new TG5000 tub grinder features a 60-inch-deep and 12-foot-wide tub opening. Vermeer says the bottom of the tub flares outward from the tub wall, allowing the hammermill to cut under the vertical wall of the tub, helping to reduce bridging and permitting steady feeding of material.

Murray downs Mahut in front of Lendl, Wawrinka out
By Pritha Sarkar
LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray welcomed back coach Ivan Lendl with victory over Nicolas Mahut at the Aegon Championships on Tuesday as Stan Wawrinka's new union with adviser Richard Krajicek got off to the worst possible start.
World number two Murray registered a 7-6 (8) 7-6 (1) first-round win over Frenchman Mahut with eight-times grand slam singles champion Lendl courtside with the Briton for the first time since 2014.
The duo parted company in March that year after two years in which Murray won the 2012 Olympic gold medal, the 2012 U.S. Open and 2013 Wimbledon titles.
Murray, who is targeting a record fifth title at Queen's Club, served 15 aces on his way to victory over Mahut who came into the tournament after retaining his crown at Den Bosch on Monday.
The Briton next meets countryman Aljaz Bedene or Frenchman Benoit Paire.
Wawrinka lost 6-2 7-6 (3) to Spain's Fernando Verdasco.
The second seed hired 1996 Wimbledon champion Krajicek for the grasscourt season but on Tuesday's evidence the Dutchman has his work cut out over the next two weeks if Wawrinka harbors any hopes of doing well at the All England Club.
The Swiss struggled to handle wet and blustery conditions on a frustrating stop-start day at Queen's Club as rain held up play for almost 2-1/2 hours with Verdasco leading 6-2 3-4. Continued...

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Each child is unique. Depending on your child's hearing, our team may recommend receiving two implants at the same time, or we may recommend starting with one implant. This is based on many things, and a decision is made in conjunction with the parents (and child when appropriate).
One cochlear implant provides greatly improved access to sound for most candidates with severe to profound hearing loss. Some implant users benefit from continuing to use a hearing aid in the other ear. If a hearing aid provides limited benefit, the child may be considered for candidacy to receive a second implant for the other ear. Bilateral cochlear implant use improves the ability to hear speech in noisy places and some ability to determine the direction a sound is coming from.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

A Minute With: Grenier, Connolly on their 'Entourage' bromance
By Alicia Avila
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - For actors Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly, the friendship of their "Entourage" characters Vince and Eric that grew over eight seasons on HBO made it a no-brainer for the pair to reunite for the movie spinoff.
HBO's "Entourage" followed actor Vince (Grenier) and his friends, who became high-flying Hollywood power players. The film continues their journey.
In an interview with Reuters interrupted by frequent giggles, Grenier, 38, and Connolly, 41, discussed returning to "Entourage," out in U.S. theaters on Wednesday, four years after the show ended its TV run. Below are excerpts.
Q: What was it like to step back into "Entourage?"
Grenier: It was wonderful, you know, we've been waiting too long.
Connolly: It was easy, like riding a bike. Five minutes being in the hair and makeup trailer that first morning; everything was back to normal like we never left.
Q: Why was it important to keep the original cast? Continued...

wikiHow to Make a Chess Pawn in SketchUp With the Follow Me Tool
The Follow Me tool is a very powerful tool in SketchUp, but it takes some practice to get what you want. Once you have created a few basic projects though, the sky's the limit! Read on to learn how to make a pawn.
1Click on the Arc tool and create an arc. If, after you created it, the arc isn't exactly flat on the screen, use the Orbit tool until it is.
2Click on the Line tool and make a very short straight line.
3Add a second arc. Note the difference in the screenshot. You need to have the rest of the design be slightly off center. This accomplishes that. An eraser can take care of that small line.
4Again with the arc tool, create a slight arc.
5Create the final arc for your pawn. Using the Line tool and inference, draw two lines to create the path. One from the bottom and then one from that line to the top.
6Use the Circle tool and create a path by creating a circle underneath the profile. It doesn't really matter the size, but larger than the profile helps.
7Click on the circle to select it, click on the Follow Me tool, then click on the profile. This will complete the pawn.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Superstar police chief Bill Bratton has announced he'll be leaving the LAPD at the end of October. Mark Kleiman would like to see him move up in the world:
As for Bratton's own future, here's hoping that his move to Altegrity is a just a quick cash-in on his way back to public service. The FBI would be a stretch: agents aren't really cops, counter-terrorism isn't policing, and any fight to change Hooverville would run into serious resistance from the Ba'athist dead-enders at on the north side of Pennsylvania Avenue. So I wouldn't put the same sort of odds-on bet on Bratton's success at the Bureau that I would if he took over another police department. Still, given the stakes, it's a gamble I'd like to see happen.
Well, Mueller's term is up in 2011, so that would give Bratton a couple of years to earn some private sector dough before returning to the trenches. He'd certainly be an interesting choice.

The Kane County Cougars have really turned things around. They are finally above the break-even point on their record and, believe it or not, are in first place in their division.In the second half they are 15-8 and they are 47-45 overall.
Good pitching and some breakout hitting games have propelled the Cougars to the division lead. The Cougars would sweep the week with a 6-0 record. They outscored their opponents 39-18 during that span.
This second-half resurgence is led by their hitting, as they are batting .289 so far as a team. Myrio Richard is hitting .412, Michael Gilmartin .385, Anthony Aliotti .367, Conner Crumbliss .327 and Juan Nunez .294. One streak that did come to an end is Tyreace House's streak of reaching base safely in 43 straight games.
The week would start out with the Clinton Lumberkings in town for their final game of the series on Monday. The Cougars would win 7-5 with two three-run innings leading the way. Ian Krol started and had one inning in which he gave up three runs on a sacrifice fly and a two-run single.
Krol would go seven innings, giving up five hits and three runs. He walked two and struck out five. He would be able to get out of some trouble in the game. In the second inning he had to get a double-play to get out of a two runners on-base situation. In the fourth, another double play got him out of trouble. A.J. Huttenlocker would give up two runs in an inning and one third in relief, including a homer to Daniel Carroll.
The offense would get seven runs on nine hits. Anthony Aliotti and Leonardo Gil had run-scoring hits in the first. Crumbliss would hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Crumbliss, Richard and Aliotti all had two hits apiece.
South Bend came into town on Wednesday for a three-game series with the Cougars. Kane County would sweep them out of town. In the first game, it was close as the Cougars would win 8-7. Murphy Smith started and went into the sixth inning. He gave up six hits and four runs. Three of the four runs and two of the six hits came in the sixth inning. Besides that inning Smith pitched well, giving up four hits and one run in five. Bo Schultz would pitch an inning and one third and walk one but he gave up nothing.
The offense would come alive again, as they scored eight runs on 14 hits. Gilmartin had a two-run double in the first. Nunez, Crumbliss and Aliotti all drove in runs in the second and Max Stassi hit a solo homer in the fourth. Gilmartin, who would have three hits on the day, including two doubles, would double home a run in the fifth. Gil had two hits. He singled home a run in the seventh. Crumbliss also had three hits.
During the week, the Cougars' pitching staff would have a shutout streak of 26+ innings. In the second game of the South Bend series the Cougars would shut them out, 5-0. Justin Marks was great, as he went six innings, giving up two hits and walking two while striking out 10. He got his third win of the season. The first and the fifth innings would be when the Silver Hawks had their best chances against Marks. In the first, Marks would get Keon Broxton caught trying to steal third. Then with the bases loaded and two outs, he got Tyson Van Winkle to ground out to get out of the jam. In the fifth inning he loaded the bases with nobody out. A strike-out of David Nick, then a double play ball by Bobby Borchering would end the inning.
Connor Hoehn came in and pitched well also, as he went two innings, giving up two hits and getting one strikeout. Those two hits came in the seventh, and with two-outs he had runners on second and third. Hoehn then got Borchering to ground out to end the inning. Ryan Doolittle made his Cougars debut and pitched a shutout ninth, with two strikeouts.
Five runs on nine hits would be all the Cougars would need to win the game. Richard singled home House in the first. A wild pitch scored Chris Affinito in the second. Rashun Dixon hit a sacrifice fly to score Richard in the third. In the eighth, the Cougars would score their final two runs when Gilmartin singled home both Aliotti and Dixon. Aliotti had three hits, and House and Gilmartin both had two.
Continuing the shutout streak into the next game, the Cougars would win 8-0 against the Silver Hawks. Kenneth Smalley made hit 2010 Cougars debut and went into the fifth inning, giving up three hits while walking two and striking out four. He was helped by a nice throw on a play at the plate by Crumbliss in the first. Chris Mederos then made his first appearance since coming off of the disabled list. He went three and two-thirds innings, giving up only one hit while striking out four and picking up the win.
The offense helped, as they would get eight runs on 10 hits. In the second inning alone they scored four runs on five hits, with House, Richard, Dixon and Jason Christian all driving in runs. In the fourth inning, Crumbliss and Richard both drove home runs. Christian hit a two run homer in the fifth to cap off the Cougars scoring.
Daniel Straily had a great outing on Saturday in the first game against the West Michigan Whitecaps. He would go six innings, giving up five hits, while walking two and striking out seven. The White Caps had their leadoff man get on base in five of the six innings, but Straily still survived. Huttenlocker then came in for two innings, and he would give up the Cougars first run against in two days. It was a rocky ninth though as Max Peterson only got two outs and gave up two runs before Jose Guzman would come in and get the save.
Crumbliss led-off the scoring in the third with a run-scoring single to bring home Dixon. In the fourth inning the Cougars would score three times. Dixon brought home Aliotti with a bases loaded walk after a pitching change. Gil and Nunez also brought home runs that inning. Gil would then hit a solo homer in the sixth. In the eighth, Gil brought home Christian with a sacrifice fly and Dixon would score on a wild pitch. The Cougars would walk nine times, with none of those walks scoring.
Krol continued his dominance this season with five good innings on Sunday. He would give up two hits and one run. He could have given up more but got out of a man on third and nobody out situation in the second inning after an error. Bo Schultz would then give up a run in the sixth inning and Ryan Doolittle gave up a solo homer in the ninth.
Affinito continued to get big hits for the Cougars this season when he scored Gil with a double in the fifth. Also in the fifth Jose Crisotomo drove-in Affinito. In the seventh, Gil would hit a homer to left and in the ninth, Richard would score on a balk. Aliotti had three hits on the day.
Standings Report
The Cougars would finish the week in first place, 1.5 games up on Clinton. In the second half Quad Cities and Cedar Rapids don't count in the standings as they made the playoffs in the first half. The Cougars are three games up in the playoff hunt.
Coming Up Next
Next week, the Cougars continue their series against the West Michigan Whitecaps (Detroit) on Monday. After that they have Tuesday off before going on a long road trip out east. Wednesday they go to visit the Lansing Lugnuts (Toronto) for three games. After that they spend the weekend with the Great Lakes Loons (LA Dodgers). They don't come home again until July 31st against the Burlington Bees (Kansas City).
Roster Report
The Cougars did make some roster moves this week. Ryan Doolittle came to the team from Vancouver to fill up the roster at 25 on Monday. On Wednesday, Kenneth Smalley came from Stockton to get stretched out. Chris Mederos also came back from the disabled list. He hadn't pitched in a game for the Cougars since May 2nd. Jose Pina was promoted to Stockon and Robert Gilliam went on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain.

The Republic of Korea is a nation located in East Asia.
Korea was made into a Japanese colony in 1905.
- 1933.5 - Resistance continues against the Japanese occupational forces, although fighting remains scattered and usually one-sided. Aside from military resistance, an intellectual resistance begins with the circulation of Korean grammar and history textbooks, long since banned by the Japanese. Korean children are encouraged to use their Korean names with each other, not the Japanese names forced on them. Meanwhile, the Korean Provisional Government reaches out to the Soviet Union, United States, France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain for help. A wave of suicide attacks begins against Japanese in Korea, aiming against mid to high level targets. Japanese and Japanese supporters are shot and their homes are burned down. A few bombs also go off in Japan, although attempts to smuggle in more assassins is unsuccessful.
- 1934 - Korea continues to fight against the Japanese oppressors and asks for more assisstance from the world community. Massive casualties have been inflicted on the Japanaese, but large casualties have been taken by the resistance as well. Representatives approach the Vatican to seek help in terms of funding and training against the Japanese.

This is a city park with full hookups. The sites are back-in, but fairly level. View out the rear window is buildings. No showers or restrooms we were aware of. A nice city park is right out the front door. There is a large grass area for dog walking. Well worth the price. - RedSoloCup

I made my reservation over the internet the day before showing up at the park. Sites are supposed to be assigned but there was no assignment on the bulletin board when I arrived. The campground host lady told me to just go ahead and take a spot since the campground was almost entirely empty. The sites are arranged in a clearing along one side of the valley formed by the Des Moines River. There is no privacy between sites but they are spaced about 50 feet apart. There is electric and water service but no sewer. I have a small trailer that would fit just about anywhere but big rigs would have no problems in many of the sites. This park wouldn't be a destination for me but I would stay here again if passing through the area. - Teardrop11

This was such a find. The Iowa State Park we normally stay in was already full so we took a chance on a Friday afternoon and drove to Dolliver Memorial because of the great reviews. It was cool to descend into a gorge carved by the Des Moines River after driving through flat cornfields for hours. The sites are large. The restrooms were spotless. The ranger was so nice checking in on how we liked our stay. On the weekends, there are kayak rentals available. Cell service is spotty because of being 200' below the cornfields, but it does exist. Would definitely stay here again. - fulltimervtravel
Aug 2008 - $16.00
The campground is small, with only a few sites able to accommodate motorhomes or larger fifth wheel trailers. The dump station does not appear to have been used in sometime - it is difficult to position a motorhome or trailer for use. There are many hiking trails and fishing is nearby in the Des Moines River. The only time we saw the park ranger was when he was checking to make sure the campsite fee had been paid. - JRCII

My wife and I have camped at Spring Lake several times and have always enjoyed our stay. This lake is great for people who like to kayak and use paddle boats. The lake is not very deep. Most of the camp sights are on the lake. This park is great for kids. If you like to go berry hunting in the spring, this park is great for that. I found about 1 pint of black raspberries yesterday. Should be better next week. Spring Lake is well run by the county, very clean, sight are mostly level. They are grass. - Joceil

Nice park with lots of large spaces. Clean lake for swimming and has a roller skating rink. Fishing is not real good (very small fish). Jefferson is only 5 miles away if you need to run to the grocery store. Park is clean and very well maintained. - pjm

This place is a blast from the past. The roller rink is the center of activity in the evenings. Our family opened and closed the roller rink both nights we were there. It is first come first serve, however, that was not a problem for us. We arived at 8:00 PM on a Friday night and had our pick of many good sites. - Cornboy

We stayed in the Horse Park tent part of the campground. There were only 2 tents in the whole area. It was well kept and very private. The bathrooms and shower houses were very nice and clean with hot water. The camp host was kind and helpful. Would definitely stay there again if we are in the area. - Happy Campers from IN

For the price this was a pretty good campground. We were here over a weekend so it was very crowded. There are water outlets available at several locations, but not at every site. The restrooms/showers were clean but getting outdated. The sites were on grass so getting level was a little bit of a problem, but not serious. We would probably not stay here again. - SteveCampsTx
Aug 2010 - $15.00
Beautiful park with 3 different campground areas. Most sites are quite large with grass everywhere. There were lots of pull-through sites. The camping area is next to the lake and several sites can park near the lake. We paid $15 for one night. There is a dump facility within the park but none at the campsite. We would stay here again. - Frank M

This park is nice, the management is terrible. They don't take reservations and many people save sites - for 3 and 4 days. When we came, there were only 3 full hook-up sites left BUT each had a car on them - for 3 days - until finally an RV showed up. We couldn't use these sites, no one else could use these sites and the campground lost $22 per day for 3 days and 3 sites for $198. This happens all the time. We spoke with the hostess but she did nothing. We never saw a ranger.
We'll agree with the previous review - without any management, the park is not always a pleasant experience. - swike
Jul 2016 - $22.00
We camped at Kennedy for 2 weeks around July 4 holiday. Sites are close together and include picnic table and fire ring. Our site #2 was level, some of the sites were quite sloped. The roads are narrow but manageable and trees are trimmed high enough so that was not an issue. Kennedy park does not take reservations, however it is a favorite for locals and they go stake their site out early in the week, placing a tent or vehicle on it. There are only 29 FHU sites and several of them were occupied by tenters consequently self contained rigs had to stay in W/E only sites and use dump station. The park belongs to Webster County Conservation Board. Their foot print consists of a small lake, day use park and campground.They have no apparent presence in the campground other than an occasional drive thru. They had a presence in the adjacent park and lake areas. The campground host works 2 jobs and was rarely on site. With the hands off nature of management the campground is a mess. No one follows the few posted rules. Trash all over sites and blowing around, cigarette butts everywhere, people not picking up after their pets, over crowded camp sites with 3 & 4 autos parked on the grass and speeding cars.
This could be a premier park if they would engage a camp host who is on site and observant and if the management spent at least as much time in the campground correcting problem areas as they do in the park.
If we are ever in this part of Iowa again we would probably stay at Kennedy because it is big rig friendly where some of the other campgrounds are not. - Harley Oma
Aug 2015 - $20.00
We have stayed in this park at least once a year for 3 years and have always enjoyed it. This is a county park but it has so much available to entertain everyone: a marvelous hiking trail around the lake, a nice lake, a golf course, picnic areas, boating, birding blind, dog training area. Just a lot of things available. The pads are rock and, in the 5" of rain that we had over the last night and day, we were high and dry. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. We have been there on weekends and weekdays and it has always been quiet though full. You need to get there early in the week for a full-hook-up site during the summer. However, there are ample water/electric sites available. We have a 35' RV and our friends have a 42' motorhome. Neither of us had trouble maneuvering. The best place to hook-up a car to the motorhome is in the parking lot of the functions building. This is a real gem of a campground and we always look forward to staying here. - swike

MI5 needs a new head of health and safety, but for potential applicants who've spied the job vacancy on its website, there are a few drawbacks.
"We can't show you the buildings," the ad warns.
"We can't talk about the people you'll work with. We can't tell you much about the job.
"We can't give you the exact locations. We can't mention the kind of technology involved.
"Is it still a risk worth taking?"
With a fairly hefty £60,000 salary, the answer for most wannabe non-risktaking Bonds is likely to be "yes".
But, the ad continues, "for the Head of Health and Safety role you must be CMIOSH". And that's to say nothing of having a Nebosh diploma.
But, far from implying you're a member of a sinister eastern European underground organisation dedicated to the overthrow of western society, CMIOSH simply means "chartered member of IOSH" (the distinctly less menacing-sounding Institute of Health and Safety).
A Nebosh diploma, as any decent applicant will know, is a diploma issued by The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health. Not quite as glamorous as a licence to kill, admittedly, but also less likely to see you strapped to a board while a laser heads toward your nether regions and a genial megalomaniac tells you he expects you to die.
"A dry orange squash, carefully stirred please": James Bond's top five health and safety nightmares.
5. Grappling with Jaws on the roof of a cable car in Rio.
- Neither of the men are wearing protective gloves, to say nothing of a hi-viz jacket. Jaws should really be wearing a mouth guard.
4. Driving an Aston Martin DB5 at high speed through a Swiss forest.
- Neither Bond nor Tilly Masterson are wearing a seatbelt. Some of those modifications to the Aston Martin are definitely not road illegal and the DVLA would not be happy about the multiple numberplates.
3. Driving a rocket boat down the Thames then dropping on to the Millennium Dome from a hot air balloon.
- Bond is flagrantly defying the Environment Agency's advice here to "avoid turning your boat near bridges, bends and locks". If he was upstream of Teddington, he'd be breaking the 5mph speed limit. As for jumping from the boat on to the rope that holds the hot air balloon, too many health and safety breaches to mention.
2. Driving a tank through St Petersburg.
