Print Interview
Dr. Borlaug, in the 1940s, you traveled to Mexico to work with the Rockefeller Foundation, improving the yield of the country's wheat crop. You encountered many obstacles, from lack of equipment, fertilizer and seeds, to over-farmed soil, and worst of all, the plant diseases. When did you first realize how desperate the situation was?
Norman Borlaug: Well, I guess it really came home to me when I tried to organize the first Farmer's Field Day at the Yaqui Valley, where I spent a good share of my life in research and development. I didn't speak much Spanish at that time, and had great difficulty expressing myself.
Norman Borlaug: The first field day was in 1948. By then, I had a new variety based on this Marquis that was always the lowest producer crossed to a Minnesota variety, Newthatch. And it was still tall, but resistant to the main rust, and high-yielding in the tall wheats. So I had a friend in radio propaganda thing, and through him -- who just recently passed away -- he was my public contact. He was trained in communications. And so he had a lot of propaganda where we were going to have this Farmer's Field Day for lunch. We would have barbeque ribs and beer -- free. Well, the day came and the only people that came were these young agronomists that were putting in the tests and two farmers. And the two farmers, they were old pioneers, but I figured they were the poorest farmers in the valley. But in the days following that -- and I explained, showed them the new varieties that were being developed, including small plots that we were increasing for seed production -- and told them that this was an ongoing program. And later that week, one or two of the best farmers in the valley came out and they essentially said, "We heard there's some interesting things going on here." And with my broken Spanish, I was trying to explain to them, "But you show them," and they picked it up. And so the second year, there was a big increase in numbers, and by the third year there were hundreds of farmers.
Was there a specific event that convinced you that advanced wheat farming would be critical to combating world starvation? Was it a gradual realization based on your research, or just the timing of it all coming together?
Norman Borlaug: The timing. But also taking advantage of that timing.
When I saw how the farmers were reacting when they got the seed that we had developed, there was no problem with the farmer. The problem was with the government policy maker because they controlled pricing, availability or non-availability of fertilizer and a whole series of things that didn't permit us to be big commercial until those defects were corrected. So I was very early aware -- not in one country, but I saw it in Mexico, in Guatemala, in Peru, in Argentina.
So you saw this in other countries, the economic bureaucracy?
Norman Borlaug: It encouraged me to not wait for years and years and years to try to provoke personal change. You had to have the guts -- if you'd permit me to use that gutter term -- to make a decision and say: we're going to go for it.
There was a strongly held principle of agronomy that seeds need a rest period after harvesting to store energy for germination before being planted. Everyone believed this principle. What made you believe otherwise?
Your boss, George Harrar, was against your experiment to expand into the Yaqui Valley Research Station. This was a region with substantial difference in altitude and temperatures, but you insisted on this double wheat season. Is that right?
Norman Borlaug: Well, we couldn't have the time to produce a new variety, and this was in this whole area of photoperiodism. When it happened, we weren't sure, because everybody said, "This guy Borlaug is a nut! Trying to adapt the northern wheat varieties to Mexico!" But here we had a Yaqui 48, which was the Marquis -- the lowest yielding variety -- and the Minnesota wheat, and we had selected out the early types, and they were happy in Minnesota and in Canada and in India.
Why did you think that the seeds from one region, which were supposed to need a dormancy period, could go to this different altitude and this different region? Why did you think that it was going to work?
Norman Borlaug: Because if it worked, we would cut in half the time to produce new varieties with two generations a year. First, we did it in Sonora, but later we did it in many other places.
Did you actually threaten to resign when George Harrar said you couldn't take this equipment and go harvesting up in the Yaqui Valley?
Norman Borlaug: I stood up and I said, "We can't produce the wheat that Mexico needs just in the Yaqui Valley or in Sinaloa. We've got to work in all the areas where wheat wasn't an important crop, especially the Bajillo, and if I'm not permitted to do that, I'll leave." I stood and I said, "If Joe Rupert wants to accept it, I'll leave tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll wait until you have a satisfactory replacement." Before I got to the door, Joe Rupert stood up and walked out with me. And when I got to my office and Dorothy Parker -- who was our librarian -- she handed me the mail. And in this mail was a letter written to (George) Harrar by a very practical farmer in the Yaqui Valley who had his farm right adjacent to us. He used to loan us machinery because originally in 1933 or 4 when Rodolfo Calles was governor, he set up that station where I worked. It must've been a model for all of Latin America -- good machinery far before its time, all kinds of the best strains of animals, both dairy animals and beef, chickens, goats, sheep. When I arrived, this was all ruined. The poor guy who was the director, Leon Manzo, he didn't have any budget. He wanted to do something, but that's the way it was. 'Til I figured if we could get two generations a year, we could overcome this faster.
[ Key to Success ] Courage
This revolutionized agriculture, not only in Mexico. What did this tell the world about planting?
Norman Borlaug: Yeah. This photoperiodism is sensitivity to hours of daylight and not just total daylight. It's when you break the cycle. If you start those plants and let them grow through a short period of time and move them, they don't act the way they acted before. It opens a whole series of new things that didn't seem possible before.

Wales' four professional regions - Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, the Ospreys and Scarlets - do not plan to release their players until five days before the principality face South Africa on November 8. However, the Welsh Rugby Union has asked the International Rugby Board adjudicate on a matter which has left Gatland angry and frustrated.
He said: "Unfortunately the players and national management have been dragged into non-rugby issues. It is a huge year for the players, in terms of the autumn up against three of the best sides in the world (South Africa, New Zealand and Australia), then the Six Nations and a Lions tour at the end of it."
He added: "If I was some of the players, I would be a little bit concerned that a couple of poor performances in the autumn might have a bearing on the end of the season.
"I think everyone realises that five days' preparation going into an international match these days is not ideal."
Gatland went further still, revealing: "I have questioned my position.
"It has taken the gloss off my position. You just feel frustrated that the two sides can't get together and thrash it out.
"I might have to look at it if this carries on. I have already questioned my position.
"It's no good for anyone if you send out a team that gets well beaten because it is not prepared. There is pressure on performance and results."

NASHVILLE, TN - AUGUST 15: Jeff Fisher, head coach of the Tennessee Titans looks on against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a preseason NFL game at LP Field on August 15, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Joe Murphy/Getty Images)
It seems like ancient history, but it was only nine months ago that Jeff Fisher arrived in Miami with a hero's welcome as Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was trying to convince him to be his next head coach. There was no shortage of speculation in the ensuing couple of weeks as everyone tried to figure out which way Fisher was leaning. The most laughable talking point during those two weeks in January was that if money were the deciding factor, Ross' dollars would win out. As if St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke would allow himself to be outbid. Once Kroenke decided to fire Steve Spagnuolo and enter the Fisher sweepstakes, there was no way money would be an issue. Deep down, Kroenke and the Rams knew it would be a difficult sell to hoist another head coaching first-timer on a fan base tired of dreadful losing as well as the uncertainty surrounding the franchise's future. So it was that Fisher officially became the Rams' head coach on Jan. 17, and three days later, the Dolphins hired Joe Philbin. Now, nine months later, the teams get together in South Florida in a game the Dolphins (2-3) need to reach .500, while the Rams (3-2) try to build on division wins over Seattle and Arizona with a win on the road. The Rams have lost road games this season to Detroit and Chicago, and dating back to last season, they have lost five consecutive games away from the dome. Since 2006, when the Rams were 4-4 on the road, they haven't won more than two road games in a season, and they are 7-35 away from home since the start of the 2007 season. As running back Steven Jackson said after last Thursday's win over Arizona, "It's big for us, but it doesn't stop here. We've got to continue to build off this. We have a nice little break coming ahead of us, but we've got to face another tough team on the road, and we have to learn how to win on the road." Linebacker James Laurinaitis said, "The thing I'm proud of is ever since preseason, we were in a groove of lose-win, lose-win. It's been alternating things. So you get two W's in a row; I think we broke that, and now we need to learn how to win on the road." Asked about the challenge of playing on the road, quarterback Sam Bradford said, "Obviously for us, communication is more of a challenge on the road. Playing on the road, you have to deal with the crowd noise. You've got to deal with the silent count, being able to get everything communicated at the line of scrimmage. Our wide receivers aren't able to hear, so they've got to be tapped into signals. Sometimes, when you're on the road, you've got to overcome adversity. "When you're at home, you can feed off your crowd, you can feed off of playing at home in an environment that you're really comfortable in, whereas sometimes on the road, you've got to learn to overcome certain things. I think it just comes with going out and doing it. I think once we get one under our belt, hopefully, more will come." Bradford said there's no secret to winning on the road, it's just a matter of getting it done. "I don't think it's a confidence-level thing at all," he said. "I think every time we take the field, we're extremely confident in our abilities, in our plan, in our ability to go out there and execute. I think it's just a matter of going out and doing it." Concluded coach Jeff Fisher, "You've just got to go in there and stay focused and find a way to win it. That's our next challenge. Our next challenge is our next opponent, and it happens to be on the road."

Over the course of this week, Irish Eyes will feature a series highlighting the best single-season Irish football players spanning the last three decades.
Today's second edition: The Weis-Era Defense, Part II – Defensive Backs.
Free Safety David Bruton (2008)Half-man, half-gazelle, Bruton roamed the back line of the Irish secondary for two seasons and was likely the best football player on the squad over the course of those 25 contests. The '08 Irish allowed 15 touchdowns through the air, the program's lowest total since the '02 season, and Bruton deserves much of the credit – credit for covering for mistakes made in front of him; credit for continuing to develop the fundamentals of the free safety position, a practice which allowed him to use his incredible speed to his advantage. Finally, Bruton deserves credit for saving countless touchdowns as the last line of a defense that featured the blitz as its main weapon. Without David Bruton as the last man back, Notre Dame likely would have suffered a second straight losing season.
Ultimately, Bruton finished second on the squad in total tackles (97) and passes defended (10) and tied for first in fumbles caused and recovered (2). That includes the forced fumble and recovery that changed the course of the '08 Irish season – a goal line meeting between fellow S Kyle McCarthy (low), Bruton (high) and SD State RB Brandon Sullivan (victim). The would-be touchdown run Bruton negated would have provided a 20-7 Aztecs advantage with less than 12 minutes remaining in the contest. Instead, the Irish recovered, the ball was spotted at the 20-yard line, and the Irish took the lead for good six plays later on a Clausen to Tate touchdown bomb.
Bruton at his best in '08: Bruton's best game of the '08 season was undoubtedly the 35-20 home victory over Michigan. The senior safety finished with 15 tackles (10 solo and 1.5 for lost yardage); a forced fumble, a QB hit, and an interception which he returned for 39 yards. His 3rd and goal blitz in the first quarter forced the Wolverines to settle for a field goal on the next play while his 2nd and goal stop and strip of RB Kevin Grady late in the 3rd Quarter kept Michigan at bay, 28-17. Bruton continued his red zone excellence with a 4th Quarter pick of a Nick Sheridan pass on 3rd and 2 from the Irish 12-yard line.
Strong Safety Kyle McCarthy (2008)It was trial-by-fire for the first-time starter in last year's season opener. The Irish defense had sprung a leak, and McCarthy was forced to limit the damage. That September afternoon the senior safety transformed himself from question mark to leading man with 15 total tackles, many of which saved excessive yards and a touchdown or two at the tail end of plays. At season's end, McCarthy ranked exactly where he finished after San Diego State left town … as the squad's leading tackler, with 110 total stops (64 solo). He was the defense's steadying presence. A rock the back seven could count on when opponents ran free. And McCarthy should be that rock again and more in '09 as the unit's veteran leader.
McCarthy posted double-digit tackle totals in five games last season (SD State, Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, and Pittsburgh). His best statistical effort was likely the win over Stanford when the sure-tackler added a pick and a tackle for loss to his not-unusual allotment of 14 total tackles.
McCarthy at his best in '08: In the never-ending battle vs. Pittsburgh, McCarthy notched 15 total tackles (two for loss). He forced the Panthers to punt on three separate occasions with third-down tackles short of the marker (McCarthy forced a fourth punting situation but the Irish were hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play). The Irish senior also forced the Panthers to settle for a field goal in the game's third overtime with a 3rd and 1 stop of RB LeSean McCoy.
Honorable Mention: Chinedum Ndukwe (2006), David Bruton (2007), Tom Zbikowski (2006)
Cornerback Darrin Walls (2007)It wasn't easy being a defensive player for the Irish in 2007. In fact, I wouldn't blame then-sophomore Darrin Walls and his cohorts if they just habitually lifted their facemasks for a brief drink of water; buckled up; and prepared to take the field yet again after the requisite three-play break. The unit was under fire. They couldn't stop the run. They couldn't get off the field. And most of all, they couldn't take a break as the Irish offense owned no part of the football field that season (they had "a lease with(out) an option to buy" so to speak).
But the undervalued aspect of that squad was the play on one corner, if not the entire secondary. The '07 Irish defense held opponents to 5.6 yards per pass attempt and 10.7 yards per catch (compared to the '06 unit's 7.8 and 14.1 averages in those same categories). And the secondary allowed five fewer touchdowns through the air (19) than did the '06 squad. The bright spot was Walls, whose sticky coverage resulted in a team-high nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles; and 2.5 tackles for lost yardage (starting outside CBs Raeshon McNeil and Terrail Lambert combined for zero last season by comparison). Walls played solid football for 12 weeks without the benefit of a pass rush or an offense that could keep the defensive players rested. A team that goes 3-9 shouldn't be recognized for much, but that squad had two players (Trevor Laws the obvious second) that deserve mention for a job well done.
Walls at his best in '07: The sophomore CB gave the Irish program life (and hope) with a 73-yard interception return touchdown at Penn State in Week Two. It was one of the few highlights of the season's first three weeks and a shot in the arm for ND fans after the disheartening season-opening loss to Georgia Tech.
Cornerback Mike Richardson (2006)As a junior CB in 2005, Mike Richardson was miscast as an outside defender, asked to run with and defend the best wide receivers in the nation. As a senior in 2006, Richardson remained the technical starter at the position, but he was moved inside in the team's nickel coverage, and the long-time contributor finally had a chance to shine.
Richardson thrived over the slot receiver, finishing '06 with 66 tackles (50 solo), including six for lost yardage. He posted career highs with four interceptions (to lead the squad), seven passes defended (second to Chinedum Ndukwe), and two forced fumbles. More importantly, he lent a physical presence to the nickel position after two seasons that featured undersized, finesse players manning the crucial spot on the field.
Richardson at his best in '06: Richardson intercepted four passes in the season's final three games, including a 3rd down, 3rd Quarter interception while trailing 21-10 at USC. The pick gave the Irish the ball at mid-field but the offense failed to capitalize.
Honorable Mention: Raeshon McNeil (2008)
Defensive Back/Football Player Tom Zbikowski (2005)It was (easily) his best season in an Irish uniform. Tom Zbikowski wasn't the best technical player at his position in this, or any other decade, but he made one of the greatest single-season impacts for an Irish defensive player in recent memory.
His 71 solos and four pass breakups were incidental. The real story was the desire and will Zbikowski displayed every time he touched the football: Five interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns; 14 yards per punt return (and two more touchdowns). He exhibited an absolute refusal to go down; produced big plays in big games; and gave the team a toughness it lacked in recent seasons. Zbikowski was the real deal in 2005 … the defense's answer to Jeff Samardzija – a game-changer that gave Irish fans hope again after seasons of discontent.
Zbikowski at his best in '05: There are many to choose from, but Zbikowski's biggest impact play was undoubtedly a 60-yard punt return touchdown to give the Irish a 21-14 lead in the classic vs. USC. The nature of the return not only defined the player but (however briefly) the entire approach of the program under a new regime in 2005.
Tomorrow: ND's best offensive players from 2002-2004.

i too have been wheezing after exercise. I used to have asthma as a child but have recently had the spirometry tests and i only improved 2% with salbutamol.
i have been told i amnot asthmatic and my wheezing and shortness of breath is probably allergen based.
so today before my 10k race i took my antihistamine tablet but within a few hours of stopping my wheeze and shortness of breath returned. Salbutamol clears it immediately but it returns a few hours later.
I went to ER last time as i got quite bad and my peak flow was almost non existant but they say its not asthma.
any ideas??
Should i revisit my GP??
John - I would get myself hold of a light blue inhaler for exercise induced asthma and give it a go and see if things improve.
Wheezing from allergy is pretty much asthma - not medical enough to be able to tell differnece even if there is one.
Hm, interesting reading all of this. I've been running for some years and have a couple of marathons under my belt but I'm what I call 'one-paced'. I plod along! I've just started some interval training and am trying to increase my pace to 7.30 min in short bursts but I got really wheezy.
The wheezy breathing even had a squeak to it. Could this be asthma. I was assuming it was lack of fitness or the fact I carry a stone in weight too much!!
Incase it is asthma, it's best to get checked over. I had extremely bad asthma as a child, but as I got older it subsided. I wouldn't worry too much, but undetected asthma can be highly dangerous, especially if you enjoy trial running away from civilization.
Old thread.
ive been running for a few years now but had many injury problems so it has been stop start really, anyway, about 6 weeks ago i finally got my achilles and calf sorted out and ive been running 2 or 3 times a week since then with no problems, but, in the last 3 or 4 runs i have noticed a slight wheezing during running, i dont feel any constriction in my chest or windpipe areas ive just got this squeaking wheeze when i breathe. i am 47 and about 2 stone over weight which is coming down slowly, i doubt this is asthma so i will just keep an eye on it for a few weeks, maybe i have a bit of stress too.

Let us spray! Smelling great is extremely important and what better way to do so than with a high quality fragrance? There are many different scents that are individual and unique, whether EDC, EDT or other so start exploring. Make sure to consider the other products you use (like deodorant) while picking out a fragrance so they don't clash.
There are no products matching the selection.

Jeep Roof Tent
Hi all I totally forgot about this until my wife mentioned it.
I bought a roof top tent when I traveled to Utah and made a trailer for my ATv.
I will have to dig the pictures out of the actual tent but here is what it is:
It is the best quality one you can get me and my wife spent 2 nights in it at 11k feet and was very comfy.
I have used it 3 times only and it has sat undercover for the last 18 months only being aired in the summer and spring.
This model goes for $1200 I have one pole that I ran over ($14) to replace just never got round to it.
I will take $600 for it but sorry no offer's.
This me in Utah with it, I had the trailer custom built and the tent is still attached to it.
Here are the 2 we had made they sit high as we had 6 ft extension arms in the trailers to keep them of the ground, obviously you wouldn't need this in the jeep.
thats sick as hell wish i had the cash.
The only reason I wouldn't take it again is the fact that it's a lot of weight to carry with the tub full on an ATV, we ended staying in motels and pitched the tent in one place and went between the 2.
we actually made the second one twin wheel aluminum.
do you still have this available? thnks larry

Asian markets lower as profit-taking offsets US data, Taipei fell 0.65pc, Wellington closes 0.24pc high
HONG KONG: Asian markets mostly fell on Monday as last week's gains prompted profit-taking, overshadowing Friday' Wall Street rally and upbeat US job creation figures.
The yen rose slightly against the dollar and euro, although it remains under pressure on expectations the Japanese central bank will further loosen monetary policy.
Tokyo -- which on Friday hit its highest level since before the quake and tsunami of March 2011 -- slipped 0.83 percent, giving up 89.10 points to 10,599.01. Sydney shed 0.14 percent, or 6.5 points to 4,717.3 and Seoul was flat, dipping 0.68 points to 2011.26.
In the afternoon Hong Kong was down 0.17 percent but Shanghai was up 0.10 percent.
Traders cashed in after shares jumped last week in the wake of the deal in Washington to avert the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts that economists had warned would tip the United States into recession.
Providing some buying support was news out of Washington on Friday showing the world's biggest economy added 155,000 jobs in December. While the figure is not huge and was in line with expectations, it does show some confidence.
In addition the latest ISM index on the service sector showed unexpected growth in December, the fastest in 10 months, led by new orders and employment.
Wall Street closed higher on the news. The Dow finished up 0.33 percent and the Nasdaq was flat, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.49 percent to its highest close since December 31, 2007.
On currency markets the dollar eased against the yen after hitting its strongest point against the Japanese unit in more than two years last week. The greenback stood at 87.89 yen in afternoon Tokyo trade compared with 88.15 yen in New York late Friday.
The euro was at 114.51 yen and $1.3035 from 115.19 yen and $1.3067.
Oil prices were lower with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in February, shedding 29 cents to $92.80 a barrel. Brent North Sea crude for February lost 11 cents to $111.20.
Gold was at $1,661.40 at 0600 GMT compared with $1,628.82 late Friday.
In other markets:
-- Taipei fell 0.65 percent, or 50.90 points, to 7,755.09.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co was 0.99 percent lower at Tw$100.5 while leading integrated circuits design house MediaTek Inc dropped 1.31 percent to Tw$301.5.
-- Wellington closed 0.24 percent higher, adding 9.80 points to 4,084.84.
Ryman rose 2.4 percent to an all-time high of NZ$4.80 while Telecom was up 0.69 percent at NZ$2.195 and Air New Zealand was flat at NZ$1.31.

Smart Security Reminder
One solderless multipurpose breadboard and set of basic components will be provided for each of the 5-in-1 Solderless project kit. This 5-in-1 Solderless Project kit will be provided with additional 4 free circuits which can be built by additionally procuring very few components. Thus, students can explore and develop total 5 projects at the cost of 1 project kit only.
All the engineering, diploma and other technical students from first year to final year can get hands on experience in designing and developing various electronics projects with these 5-in-1 solder less project kits. Completely assembled project is available in image format besides real time working in audio visuals to help students to complete one DIY kit with ease and then try engineering skills to attempt the other free circuits provided as no additional components are required. With this solderless breadboard approach none of the component is soldered, hence all the components can be used again and again to try such multiple circuits.
Alarms are used in the event of any unexpected situations and in emergency situations; this system is designed as a Smart security reminder which will activate in the event of any security breach.
This concept is based on an event of a door opened for more than 30 seconds Normal operation where all authorized persons know that they have to shut the door within time limit of 30 seconds then there will be no event of alarm activation. when the door is opened for a prolonged period, the alarm will automatically activated and thereby it starts to continuously beep .For demonstration of door opening In this circuit a Switch is fitted such that when it being pressed down for a time frame more than 30 seconds it starts to beep, a buzzer is provided for this purpose. This Circuit is formed based on a NAND gate IC and a Capacitor which will automatically charge and discharge thereby providing beep sound.
Recommended links:
Note: This DIY kit doesn't include soldering iron, multimeter, cutter and screwdriver as it is not required.
Note1: All the 5 project circuits are tested and working.

Cool board with a lot of features 10/31/2012
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with Dual Thunderbolt
-most everything you could want out of a mobo
-stays way cool, supports loads of case fans if you really need it
-my first one was DOA. shoddy QC?
-side-facing SATA ports are a little hard to work with inside a case. if you want to move anything around you pretty much have to unplug all your drives and start over
Other Thoughts:
While my first one was dead on arrival, and set me back almost three weeks in serving a client, the second one was as it should be. To the credit of Gigabyte's customer service, i spent zero time on hold when troubleshooting the board with them, and was connected to the same technician each of the three times I called. Strong job.

The Universe is home to numerous exotic and beautiful phenomena, some of which can generate almost inconceivable amounts of energy. Supermassive black holes, merging neutron stars, streams of hot gas moving close to the speed of light ... these are but a few of the marvels that generate gamma-ray radiation, the most energetic form of radiation, billions of times more energetic than the type of light visible to our eyes. What is happening to produce this much energy? What happens to the surrounding environment near these phenomena? How will studying these energetic objects add to our understanding of the very nature of the Universe and how it behaves?
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, formerly GLAST, is opening this high-energy world to exploration and helping us answer these questions. With Fermi, astronomers at long last have a superior tool to study how black holes, notorious for pulling matter in, can accelerate jets of gas outward at fantastic speeds. Physicists are able to study subatomic particles at energies far greater than those seen in ground-based particle accelerators. And cosmologists are gaining valuable information about the birth and early evolution of the Universe.
For this unique endeavor, one that brings together the astrophysics and particle physics communities, NASA has teamed up with the U.S. Department of Energy and institutions in France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Sweden. General Dynamics was chosen to build the spacecraft. Fermi was launched June 11, 2008 at 12:05 pm EDT.
About a thousand times a day, thunderstorms fire off fleeting bursts of some of the highest-energy light naturally found on Earth. These events, called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), last less than a millisecond and produce gamma rays with tens of millions of times the energy of visible light.

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found a signal at the center of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy that could indicate the presence of the mysterious stuff known as dark matter. The gamma-ray signal is similar to one seen by Fermi at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy.

The Fermi GBM team has provided a portable version of their response matrix generation software and associated calibration files. Previously, this was available to the public only via an interactive web interface. The response file generator facilitates production of response files for a GBM triggered event or for an arbitrary source location at an arbitrary time for each of the GBM detectors. The intent is to better facilitate studies such as candidate, non-triggered GRBs or solar flares, TGFs and searches for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves. To obtain the software please visit the FSSC GBM data analysis web page.

Adopt the subway kittens, a.k.a. Arthur and August
The adorable kittens who caused a subway shutdown will be put up for adoption by Animal Care & Control.
Fri Aug 30 2013
Photograph: Marc A. Hermann/NYC Transit
Good news, at least for the cat ladies and gents of the city (count this writer in that group): The two kittens who got loose on subway tracks in Brooklyn yesterday have officially been rescued. According to the New York Daily News, MTA workers and NYPD transit officers worked together to snatch the adorable pair from the tracks near the Church Avenue B/Q station last night.
The fluffballs, who were christened Arthur and August, were taken to the Brooklyn Animal Care & Control Center on Linden Avenue. After they've been evaluated, the shelter will hold them for three days to see if any potential owners come forward, and then they'll be put up for adoption. So if you know anyone looking for a pair of very cute—and very famous—kittens, well, there's that.

Phone NumbersMature
The rest of the school day passes by quickly. Before I know it, the bell goes off and I'm hurrying out the front doors of the school. Inside my pocket, my phone vibrates.
"Meet me at the car -Raven," is what the text says.
"Hey, Cam. Wait up," a voice calls from behind me. It's Elliot. I turn around just as he jogs over to my side. He smiles at me, his blue eyes sparkling in the light. "Can I ask you something?"
I nod, unsure of what he'll want. 'Probably homework help or something.'
"I was wondering," he pants, making me wonder just how far he jogged to catch up with me. "If you wanted to have dinner with me or something. Maybe at Pizza Hut?"
Staring at him, shocked, I search for something to say. "I um... I'll check with my family."
"Here," he says, taking my phone from me. I had forgotten to put it back in my pocket. He presses a few buttons, his thumbs moving quick as lightning, and then hands it back to me. "Text me."
"Thanks," I say, shoving it back into the front pocket of my jeans.
"I put Ryder and Amy's phone numbers in there for you too," he tells me.
My pocket vibrates again. Probably Raven, asking where I'm at. "I should get going," I mumble, glancing over my shoulder at the parking lot.
"Catch ya later," Elliot says. He grins at me again and then walks away.
'Did he just ask me on a date?' I ask myself as I walk to Raven's car. 'No. He just wants to hang out with me. Get to know the new kid... Right?'

A half century of mass immigration has failed to produce anything resembling a melting pot. By overestimating its need for immigrant labor and underestimating the culture-shaping potential of religion, Europe has trapped itself in a problem to which it has no obvious solution. Journalist Christopher Caldwell reveals a paradox: since World War II, mass immigration has been made possible by Europe's enforcement of secularism, tolerance, and equality. But when immigrants arrive, they are not required to adopt those values--and they are disinclined to. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate important European cities. As increasingly assertive immigrant populations shape the continent, Caldwell writes, the foundations of European culture and civilization are being challenged--and replaced.--From publisher description.

Medical Assistant Students Share Heart Health Information with Residents at Stokke Tower
The Housing Authority of the City of La Crosse helps provide income eligible community members with comfortable housing in La Crosse. The residents of Stokke Tower, one of the Housing Authority apartment complexes for elderly community members, partnered with a Globe University-La Crosse Medical Assistant class to create a mutually beneficial service learning project.
A community need was identified for the residents of Stokke Tower. Not all of the residents have easy access to a local healthcare facility, and many don't have the resources for regular blood pressure screenings. In addition, these services are not available on-site for the residents.
"We saw an opportunity to provide something that wasn't easily available to this population," Krista Engholdt, Globe University Medical Assistant Instructor, said. "We wanted to partner with an organization where these services were not offered."
To meet the needs of the residents, and to reinforce the learning objectives of the Patient Care Sciences class, Engholdt developed a service learning project to offer blood pressure screenings and heart health information to the residents. This service learning project provided a needed health service to the Stokke Tower residents. In addition, by teaching the residents about heart health, and taking blood pressures, the medical assistant students applied the skills they were learning in the classroom.
"This project was a great way for the students to practice their skills and interact with people they didn't know-people of all different abilities. They had to answer questions of the residents, share the knowledge they learned in the class, and they were exposed to a variety of patients which will be similar to what they will face in the real world," Engholdt said.
This service learning project was very well received by the residents of Stokke Tower, the Housing Authority of the City of La Crosse, and by the eleven medical assistant students that lead the project. Since this event at Stokke Tower, the Housing Authority has requested future service learning projects at other housing complexes to educate additional residents. Globe University-La Crosse is happy to fulfill this community need.

Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - August 28, 1970, Abilene, Texas Abilene "WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT Byron i 90TH YEAR, NO. 73 PHONE 673-4271 ABILENE, TEXAS, 79604, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS lOc SUNDAY Associated PrcsHJP, Storms Brew Inside Weather Bureau Offices Four Bureaus Passed Over in Pay Increases LUBBOCK, Tex. (API-Storm clouds started building this week inside several Texas Weather Bureau offices follow- ing a controversial government graded pay increase which was given lo weathermen at all bul frAr bureaus around the state. Del Rio, the. Houston Airport station, one of the Forl Worth stations, and the Lubbock Weather Bureau, were passed over in the pay boosts. The reasons given for the dual system were a set of standards issued by the national headquar- ters of the ESSA Weather Bu- reau at Silver Springs, Md., de- termining which offices were to get the increases. Of 66 offices in the Ill-stale Southwest'region, weather serv- ice specialists in 45 got the Civil Service promotions. A source at the Lubbock Wcatlicr Bureau said the lack of a pay increase would relegate that bureau to the status of a training station. One experienced weatherman in Lubbock already has applied for a position elsewhere and the source said others could follow. The standards tor raises were included in an Aug. 21 directive issued from the national Weath- er Bureau olfice in Silver Springs, Md. The standards required of a' particular office to receive the upgrading include a public serv- ice program (meaning the woalhor bureau, must issue storm warnings for one or more provide adaptive local forecasting; and. consult ils service to special users other Ilian aviation; and the bureau must have a long range radar. The source said the Lubbock office was disqualified from re- ceiving the raises because they have what is classified as a short range range o[ 150 miles. Del Rio was disqualified be- cause they have no large public service program or long range radar according lo a spokesman lor the Fort Worth Regional of- fice. Shrcve Goodwin, molerologisl in charge of the weather bureau at Del Rio, said he thought the standards were prctly arbitrary. "A man who's sitting in a large metropolitan area, putting out storm warnings for a million people, doesn't necessarily have lo do any more work than a man issuing warnings tor like we Goodwin said. A top official in' the Silver Springs, Md. weather headquar- ters, however' said [here had to be some distinction made. "We tried to develop a good solid rational, concerning de- mands and responsibilities for our weather bureau said Earl Eslclle, assistant to the as- sociate ESS A. Science Service Administration director. "We recognized from the be- ginning (hat our field staff was under paid and up till now a journeyman at a weather bu- reau office, was paid the same whether he worked at Chicago or Podunk. "As is true with any situation v.-hich diffcrenliates, you're go- ing to have unhappy people. We have empathy for the situation in Lubbock as. in many other places, but Uiere simply has to be some rational about demands and responsibilities of the job and pav." Eslolle said.

Balfour Beatty Construction drives down waste, increases efficiency and improves productivity.
One of the largest construction management companies in the US transforms business process management with Casewise.
Company profile
Balfour Beatty Construction, an industry leader for more than 80 years, is the fourth largest general builder in the United States. With more than 2,500 employees, Balfour Beatty delivered $4 billion worth of projects last year that enhance people's lives, and alter the landscapes of communities and the nation. Examples of the complex infrastructure and iconic structures Balfour Beatty has built include the Space Needle in Seattle, the Pentagon Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Florida, among many others.
The company's vision is to "differentiate ourselves so significantly that we change the industry." Service delivery is the priority and rather than looking to maximize profits on individual projects, the company's focus is long–term client relationships – Balfour Beatty Construction has achieved an 82% repeat customer rate over the past five years and has won hundreds of awards for construction excellence.
Balfour Beatty Construction is an innovator in its sector with a mission to eliminate waste and inefficiency from every project it performs for its clients. As part of this ongoing commitment, the company recognized an opportunity to dramatically transform its process documentation and provide its teams with instant access to all company procedures, from anywhere and on virtually any device.
Balfour Beatty chose to work with Casewise to commence an ambitious program of process optimization, initiated in 2015. The company engaged Casewise' business process and operations specialists for a customized solution built on Casewise modelling and collaboration platforms.
The solution has been launched across the organization with the first phase focused on the fundamental execution processes – initial feedback suggests over 80% of users are already finding benefits. With Casewise, Balfour Beatty will increase productivity, improve services, better manage project risks, and reduce waste.
The search for leaner construction
Across the construction industry, it is estimated that up to 40% of a construction project's cost is waste. This includes time, resources, productivity and raw materials. The fragmented nature of the industry is largely to blame – with many different organizations involved in any one project, from designers and architects to construction companies and a wide variety of subcontractor trades.
Angela Floyd, Vice President of Business Improvement at Balfour Beatty Construction, believes that making inroads into this level of waste and inefficiency can deliver major benefits for clients and the construction industry itself.
"A $50 million project is not unusual," she says. "When you do the math that is a lot of waste."
A journey that starts with delivering insight
Balfour Beatty was determined to lead the industry in innovative practices that would help reduce waste, more efficiently deliver projects and provide greater value for clients. The beginning of this journey, Angela explains, was to take a long, hard look at Balfour Beatty's own processes. These were Word or Excel documents maintained in a SharePoint library – a solution that was inefficient and restricted the sharing of ideas, best practices and feedback. The company wanted to move to a new way of collecting and sharing information, one that would transform process documentation and enable the standardization and improvement of all its business processes.
"We had grown over recent years through a number of acquisitions, so our processes were fragmented," Angela says. "The first thing we had to do was to capture the current state for all of these processes and organize them in a way that would be intuitive for the user and ultimately help the employee understand what is required in their particular role or area of responsibility."
Balfour Beatty Construction decided to implement a new business management system that would give all of its 2,500 employees easy access to the content and information they need on a variety of platforms including mobile and desktop. The company was adamant that this new system should be "as intuitive and easy to use" as the leading ecommerce platforms, with virtually zero training requirements.
Balfour Beatty consulted widely with its staff and assessed a series of potential solutions. Casewise was chosen for its user-friendly front-end interface, powerful database functionality and exceptional levels of service and support.
A company-wide solution
The company selected Casewise Evolve and the Casewise Suite for modeling as the platform that would drive a planned program of improved corporate insight and process optimization. From the beginning, Balfour Beatty was clear about its intention to use the Casewise solution across its entire operations.
"Often these kinds of systems are used in specific departments or functions," Angela says. "We wanted to leverage the solution more broadly. We have 2,500 employees and we expect all of them to use this platform."
Enhanced insight leads to process improvement
Installation began in August 2014 and took only a matter of weeks. Then followed many months of populating the system with high quality content. This involved more than 400 subject matter experts from across the business coming together to discuss processes and best practices.
"Step one is to document our procedures," Angela says, "then focus on making sure we have embedded them, which leads to standardization and alignment. Then we can really focus on how to optimize the processes."
Casewise teams delivered wide-ranging assistance and support, helping Balfour Beatty to customize the platform to meet its needs. Implementation involved Casewise experts who spent the time learning about the business, the challenges and related objectives to help deliver the best tool.
In May 2015, Balfour Beatty launched the platform across the organization with around 70% of the processes documented in the new system. These included the core business processes used in construction activities with support function processes such as HR and finance being added.
As easy to use as an online store
Implementation included customization of the user interface to suit Balfour Beatty's processes, culture, industry and ways of working. "We wanted something that no one has to be trained to use," Angela says. "No one has to be trained to go to use the sites of the leading ecommerce retailers. They are laid out in a way that the average user can easily work out what to do and to find what they are looking for. That is what we wanted and it is what we have been able to get. We did a lot of pilot and user testing along the way and received really good feedback. The Casewise platform is exceptionally easy to use."
Results and benefits
The consistent documentation of processes is encouraging standardization across roles, functions, departments and locations. It saves staff from having to 'reinvent the wheel', and will significantly reduce the amount of induction training required for new recruits. Information on all the processes they need to follow are available within a few clicks.
Consistency is also helping to drive improvements in quality. All members of the team are aligned around the key processes so that management can move beyond compliance monitoring and focus on how to work with their teams to simplify and improve the process.
Easy access to insight sparks innovation
The company has also found that having clearly defined and documented processes is fostering greater levels of innovation. Angela says: "There was a fear early on that this whole process might be restrictive: does writing everything down detract from being innovative? But people have a desire to have the fundamentals documented, simplified and easily available. This actually frees them to be more creative and productive."
A tool that requires only ten minutes of training
Balfour Beatty now has a solution that is genuinely intuitive, with users typically requiring as little as ten minutes of training in order to understand the navigation and find the information they need.
Importantly, the new system is winning hearts and minds, with feedback extremely positive across the organization. This means employees are actively using the new solution and embracing it as an improved way of working – one that makes their jobs easier.
"We are also very excited about the social features on the Evolve platform such as the discussion boards and rating system," Angela says. "This gives us a simple way of generating feedback and communicating what is/is not working."
5% productivity gains
Balfour Beatty has set out on a learning journey, starting with the thorough and systematic documentation of its processes. The next stages include using the information for analysis to generate improved business insight and fine-tuning processes across the organization, eliminating those that are unnecessary.
The company anticipates significant benefits. "We expect productivity improvements in the neighborhood of 5 percent just by having this platform in place," Angela says.
Such a step-change in productivity will help the company achieve its long-term aim of being the leading innovator in its sector. Casewise solutions are helping Balfour Beatty Construction to share lean construction methods and standard operating procedures across the organization that improve services, lower costs, and reduce waste.
