During a disaster, life-saving decisions are often made based on the most current information of a situation and past experiences in similar circumstances. While that's a tried-and-true approach, the availability of complex, computer-generated data streams is changing the ball game for some emergency managers.
Large volumes of data sets — commonly referred to as big data — derived from sophisticated sensors and social media feeds are increasingly being used by government agencies to improve citizen services through visualization and GIS mapping. In addition, big data is enabling responders to react to disasters more efficiently.
Volunteers at Splunk, an operational intelligence software provider, are involved in a project that culls data from Twitter feeds. By analyzing keywords along with time and place information, a pattern of activity in a particular area can be unearthed.
The idea was used during Superstorm Sandy. FEMA created an innovation team composed of public agencies and private companies. One of the participants was Geeks Without Bounds, a nonprofit humanitarian project accelerator, which partnered with Splunk's charity arm, Splunk4Good, to apply the social media analysis.
Team members working on the project looked at hashtags and words in Twitter feeds as well as Instagram photos related to Sandy, evacuation rates in specific areas and other keywords about resources, such as power, food, fuel and water. Using that data, the team plotted out locations where supplies might be most needed and got a finger on the pulse of a community's sentiment about available resources.
"You can imagine the ways it can be used in real time for response during an emergency," said Stephanie Davidson, director of federal civilian sales for Splunk. "It's really helpful for where to allocate those resources to the places that need them most."
Government agencies have been using social media data for sentiment analysis and public relations for a while. But according to Art Botterell — associate director of the Disaster Management Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University, Silicon Valley — practical use by emergency management agencies for response, recovery and preparation activities is fairly new.
Botterell called current efforts of emergency managers using social media a period of rich experimentation, where decision-makers must determine whether big data derived from Twitter and Facebook should be further incorporated into practical emergency situations, or used simply as a communication tool.
"This is an area that has been technology- and concept-driven, which is how most innovation happens, but now we're getting to the point where it all falls under the big data tent [and] how do we know what is more useful and less useful," Botterell said. "This is a conversation that I haven't heard emergency managers having."
The Challenges
While computer-generated data has been a staple in decision-making processes for government and emergency personnel in the past, big data takes the volume and complexity to another level. As the data has expanded, so has the ability of companies and individuals to analyze it and apply the findings.
Theresa Pardo, director of the Center for Technology in Government at the University at Albany, State University of New York, said the extent to which emergency management organizations can embrace big data relies on the culture within those agencies. If resources allow for analysts to spend time combing through data and putting out a presentation that is usable, high-volume data can be an asset.
But Pardo admitted that's an ideal situation that's likely not present in most emergency management agencies nationwide.
"That perfect model doesn't really exist everywhere," she said. "If we think about the adoption of big data, we also have to look at the maturity of … the data use environment generally within any emergency management community or agency."
Ted Okada, chief technology officer of FEMA, agreed and said that emergency agencies and the industry as a whole is still in the very early stages of using big data. As a community, he said, emergency managers need to learn how to extract the right bits of information at an early stage during a disaster.
GIS was one of the first forays into complex data streams for FEMA. The agency works closely with a variety of organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey to access their real-time data and create predictive models containing high-resolution maps and sensor data to help FEMA prepare for storms and other events.

Here's another recipe adapted from Bon Appetit's cleanse menu – I loved it even before I made it.
I couldn't resist the uniqueness of avocado and oranges with a miso lime dressing. It all sounded so glamorous in a carefree, perfect salad sort of way. (Has anyone ever called a salad glamorous before? What am I?)
It's a refreshing citrus-fueled party on a plate, as far as I'm concerned. The friendly sweetness of the sweet potatoes (my addition) and the mellow creaminess of the avocados against the salty/tangy miso lime dressing makes the whole salad a happy experience. Like I've just had a weekend away at a spa kind of happy experience.
Relaxed and feelin good.
I've made some variation of it 3 times now. I threw diced tofu in one version, and roasted pumpkin and pepitas in another.
This dressing has definitely earned itself a place in my rotation – I'm looking forward to finding a few more uses for it.
Makes 2 serves
– 1 orange, segmented
– 1/2 an avocado, cut into bite-sizes pieces
– 1 small (or 1/2 a large) sweet potato, roasted
– 3 large handfuls of baby spinach or arugula
– Toasted almonds, for sprinkling
Miso Lime Dressing
Makes 1 Cup
– 1/4 cup white miso paste
– 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Zest and juice from 1 lime (plus more)
– 1/4 cup water
Put all ingredients in a jar, cover and shake. Chill for up to 1 week in an airtight container. To freshen the dressing after a few days, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.
Assemble salad and pour dressing on to taste.

RESIDENTS in Earby are upwardly mobile again after a new minibus was handed over to replace a vandalised one.
The town's community centre in New Road has had its own minibus since 2000 after residents and local firms clubbed together to buy a wheelchair-accessible 16-seater vehicle.
But the old transport suffered at the hands of joy-riders last February and a replacement was needed.
Now fundraisers have managed to raise £8,000 for the vehicle which has been supplied by Excel Conversions Ltd, of Doncaster.
Doris Haigh, chairman of the minibus committee, said: "Over the last 14 years the vehicle has done sterling service providing transport for a diverse range of community groups in Earby and district.
"During this time some money has been saved towards a replacement bus and during the last two years concerted fundraising efforts have realised some £8,000.
"The fund has been boosted by major donations from Earby Clarets, Earby Conservative Club, Earby Theatre Going Group, Trustees of Salterforth Inghamites and through the Barnoldswick Lodge of Freemasons.
"The minibus committee have also been working hard with stalls at St Peter's Spring Fair, at the Colne Asda store, and organising spring fairs with community centre user groups.
"It has been a tremendous all-round community effort and the minibus sub- committee wishes to express thanks to all who have made this purchase possible."

WATCH: NBA Usher vs. Fan Dance Off
Antwain Alexander was at a recent game between the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks when the dance camera found him. Antwain, just 11 years old, showed off some impressive moves before the camera moved to Shannon Sailes, an usher for the home team Pistons, who showed off some moves of his own. The camera then cut back to young Alexander, spurring a dance battle between the two.

Jimmy Kimmel saw the famous dance-off, and invited the pair on to his show for a rematch.

Heidi Montag excretes another single
In case there was any doubt that Heidi Montag has absolutely no musical talent whatsoever, she's started her own label in an effort to get her album out there. In the meantime, Heid's released another song called "Fashion" (audio after the jump). And let me tell you it's every bit as amazing as you could imagine it to be. Did I say amazing? I meant ass sandwich. People reports:
"Heidi has started her own record label with Super Producer RedONE," a source tells PEOPLE. "RedOne will write and produce with Heidi an entire album of 13 songs."
And it's official: Even if strippers and malt liquor shot out of Heidi's uvula, I'd rather hear the sound of my own testicles deflating then listen to another thing come out of her Harpie piehole. Rolling Stone, feel free to quote me on that.

MWL notes: Stock rising on the mound
Cards righty learning how to pitch after years behind the plate
By Curt Rallo / Special to MLB.com | April 26, 2012 6:00 AM ET
"I was in Major League camp," said Stock, a 22-year-old who was drafted in the second round of the 2009 Draft from the University of Southern California. "At the very end of camp, Matheny and some guys in the front office called me into their office, sat me down and told me that they were going to change me from a catcher to a pitcher."
Stock played both positions at USC and turned in impressive numbers wherever he played, but the organization's decision caught him off-guard.
"I didn't know it was going to happen," Stock said. "I wasn't too thrilled, because I spent so much time, including this past off-season, working on catching, not pitching. But it's been going well. I've been working hard. I have an entire Minor League Spring Training under my belt and now a month of professional pitching as well."
St. Louis has a successful history of converting position players to pitchers, including current closer Jason Motte. Cardinals farm director John Vuch said the decision was made on Stock because the organization felt he had a better shot at making the big league team as a pitcher.
"The driving force in the decision was that we saw a better chance for him to contribute in St. Louis in the role of a pitcher," Vuch said. "With what we had from our amateur scouts -- and our Minor League pitching coordinator had seen him in college and felt Robert had a good arm -- the feeling was he had the ability to progress as a pitcher."
Vuch said he and the Cardinals like what they've seen so far out of Stock, who is 1-0 with a 7.27 ERA, 11 strikeouts and six walks in six relief appearances.
"So far, he's doing pretty well," Vuch said. "His overall numbers aren't great. He gave up some runs early, but his last time out, he threw two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. His velocity is getting better. He's starting to use all of his pitches a little more. That's one of the reasons we thought he might have success as a pitcher. He had a good changeup and a good breaking pitch. That along with a good fastball gives him something to work with, as opposed to being a completely raw conversion guy who would only be able to throw fastballs."
Stock has been hitting 92 mph with his fastball. He hit 96 in college.
"I have some room for improvement, and when it's not 40 degrees, I can ramp it up a little bit," Stock said. "The changeup is my strongest pitch right now. Every time I go out there, I try and see if I can't keep my fastball down in the zone and throw my curveball for strikes."
According to Stock, he is using his insights as a catcher and a hitter to craft himself as a pitcher.
"It certainly helps having been a catcher and calling pitches for a couple of years, just to know the game," Stock said. "It's a whole other ballpark to be able to do it, but I at least have an idea of what pitches I should be able to throw to be successful."
Stock hit .241 in his three seasons in the Minors as a catcher, working his way up to Class A Advanced Palm Beach last year. At USC, he was 8-7 with a 3.38 ERA and nine saves.
"I like being a position player and hitting better, but I also enjoy pitching and helping the team," Stock said. "They're both enjoyable."
Catching on: Another former catcher turned pitcher, Jairo Diaz, shined in his last start. The Angels prospect tossed seven scoreless innings as Cedar Rapids blanked Quad Cities, 5-0. The 21-year-old right-hander bounced back from a rough debut in which he gave up six runs -- four earned -- in 4 2/3 innings.
Anticipated debut: Highly touted Cuban-born prospect Gerardo Concepcion was assigned to the Peoria Chiefs and made his debut Wednesday, allowing five runs on eight hits over five innings against Lake County. Concepcion is a 6-foot-2 left-hander who signed a five-year Major League contract with the Cubs for $12 million. The 18-year-old signed in March and pitched briefly in extended spring training. Concepcion won Cuban National Series rookie of the year honors last season with a 10-3 record an a 3.36 ERA.
Homer drought: The South Bend Silver Hawks ended a 15-game (516 at-bat) home run drought with a bang on April 21. Bobby Stone hit a solo homer and Marc Bourgeois belted a grand slam to allow the Hawks to break out their first home run trots of the season.

The documents to print out are pretty cool. Not sure if we have that in our links. The utopia program looks cool. Will probably download it tonight, stupid modem speeds.....
ok, I looked, you have texas's linked, but you'd have to know those tools are there. I think the documents that you can print out to put in a cache deserve their own link.
Found some more stuff.
Also if you goto the main page there is a geocaching book! Great overall site.

Yeah, that is a nice brochure. I've been trying to find the contact I need to talk to for the local school forest (it's only 2 miles due south of where I am currently sitting), knowing this school district, I might need some help convincing. I'd like to hide my first cache there. I found out who I need to talk to, and he is related to me
Though I noticed alot of school forests around the country have caches in them...
However, I would like to modify the brochure a little for me
I don't have a page layout program though, anything free out there? The brochure doesn't say anything about geocaching can be educational. I know I've learned alot about the minnetonka community and history through caching. All the caches here around central wisconsin are at something historic or educational. Of the ones I found were: A historical marker virtual, one hidden at the silver dome which is a historical building, one at snyder dam which has a nice little historical plaque telling the history of the dam, a virtual multi at the highground (http://www.thehighground.attractions.neillsvilleonline.com/), and the arbotum(http://www.listeman.attractions.neillsvilleonline.com/) which is a nice place with a bunch of trees labels what type they are..
I like the logbook with the geocaching info on the reverse side you can print out at the texas site too.

Is there a set of links to geocaching/gps related software on this site?
I am trying to find, if I remember, a program called USATopo or simular, sounding title. It was a free program you could load coords in. With a menu option or click it would create a web page with links to the topo map, mapquest map, and geocaching.com page for the cache.
Found it, whoa, was I off, it;s was Utopia.

I remember discussing software at one of the more recent events. There was mention of hosting an event to show people how to use some of the various applications (EasyGPS, GPSvisualizer, GSAK, etc.) and just exchange information between them.
Only real trouble with that is getting a place with some computers (and internet) that could be used.

What about one of the TIES classrooms at their HQ on Snelling and Larpenteur. I seem to remember they offer non-profits a reduced rate to use one of their classrooms (most have 12-15 computers with each internet access). That might work. Never been in there, but I know there was talk at work about using the labs to teach AVID Newscutter editing software to news photographers. Anyone know more about their facility?

Hello guys ran into a problem coding with CSS.
The problem lies here.
list-style:none; /* must be set to none */
font-weight:bold;/* font of the nav menu */
[B]margin-left:200px;/[/B]* shifts whole nav menu 220px from the left */
margin-bottom:10px;/* 10 px from the bottom */
z-index:5;/* sets nav menu ontop of all others */
The margin left makes the window keep the 200px on resize however I want it fixed to a certain position when I resize the window, I can't use auto because it aligns the menu all the way to the left and I need it to be 200px over by default.
So in essence i need a window variable that updates upon window resize. how can I code this?
pic attached.

Hi Undermine2k. Welcome to SitePoint.
You could set that left margin to % rather than px to allow it to resize. But to be honest, I suspect there are more issues that just this. There are probably more reliable strategies still, but to advise properly, it would be better for us to see a live link or at least the full page code.
Thanks for your response, I uploaded the site and take a look at when you min and maximize it and how the menu bar moves.
I just want it to stay in one place.
OK, good. First thing you need to do is complete that menu. You can't have list items on their own. You must wrap them in
 tags.

Home
HTML 5

Jquery

Paper.js

CSS

Drop-Down Menu's

Plug-in's

XML

Introduction

Basic XML

Markup with XML

Document Object Model

Contact

E-Mail

Telephone

Then in the CSS, put this:
#nav > ul {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 778px;
that pretty much makes the whole menu disappear and if I change some of the css options the menu becomes vertical stacked instead of horizontal
OK, so more styles need to be amended down the line. But you must have those
 tags at the start and end, as otherwise your code is invalid and unreliable. Put that code in and then we can fix the other issues.
Ok I did as you said, the formatting needs to be corrected now but I have no idea how to fix it.
OK, can't quite remember how you wanted this to appear, but try replacing the nav styles with these for a start:
#nav ul {
font-weight: bold;
list-style: none outside none;
margin-left: 20%;
z-index: 5;
#nav ul li {
float: left;
position: relative;
#nav a {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #4C4D51;
border: 1px solid #575C5F;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-right: 10px;
padding: 5px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
#nav a:hover {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #666666;
color: #00FFCC;
text-decoration: underline;
#nav ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);
left: -9999px;
list-style: none outside none;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 25px;
position: inherit;
#nav ul ul li {
float: none;
padding-top: 1px;
#nav ul a {
white-space: nowrap;
#nav li:hover ul {
left: auto;
#nav li:hover a {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
#nav li:hover ul a {
text-decoration: none;
#nav li:hover ul li a:hover {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #333333;
#nav > ul {
margin: 0pt auto;
width: 778px;
But keep a copy of how everything was at the start, too.
Awesome job, that's exactly what I wanted. One more little thing, how can i make all the header boxes containing (HOME, HTML5 ,CSS ,) the same size as you can see it's formatting the box size based on the widest drop down box element.
Once again thanks alot.
Yes, I had a feeling you'd want that. (I couldn't remember if they were all the same width before.)
You could add these styles:
#nav ul ul {position: absolute;}

#nav ul li li {width: 100%;}
You may be able to incorporate some of these with existing styles: it's just easier to write them separately when I'm testing this.
You can alter the width of the top level LIs. I just chose 120px.
I can't guarantee this will work in all browsers, though. IE tends to be a real pain. Perhaps try these styles first, and then we can see how to deal with rubbish browsers. I've only tested this in Firefox, and need the changes to be online befre I can test other browsers.

How can I wean my 4yrs old from using nappies during nighttime?
Actually the question would be how can I wean my 4 yrs old from using feeding bottle in drinking her milk during nighttime?She does not anymore drink milk during daytime, and refuses to drink milk using a glass because it is not delicious. When she was 3 yrs old, I did not put her nappies but I felt bad because every now and then she awakes because she is wet all over. So my husband and I just decided to put back her nappies and wait until she is ready.

Hi Jhoan
I'm an early childhood educator originally (a lecturer now) and am a mother of two. There are a few issues in her. In terms of bed-wetting, as the ads say 'children become dry in their own time.' At 3 years old, wearing a night nappy is age-appropriate. However as you point to in your email, the drinks during the night will not help your little girl to reach the no-nappy-at-night-stage.
There is another issue in here though. Is your daughter using a sipper cup or an infant feeding bottle (I can't tell which in your post). Particularly with an infant bottle, there is a risk of dental caries (tooth decay) if the bottle sits in her mouth at night for long periods.
Do you brush you little girl's teeth at night? At 3 she is old enough for the first level of toothpaste (the kind intended for 2+) and a soft bristled tooth brush. It is important that after her teeth are brushed, she does not have any more food or drinks (other than water) to minimise the risk of tooth decay.
Ultimately you want to get away from your daughter having milk at all at night, both to facilitate a dry night and to prevent tooth decay. However you need to approach this gently so my first step would be to get rid of the bottle. One way to do this if it is a baby feeding bottle she is using is to slowly graduate her from the bottle to a glass.
Start with a soft-spout feeding cup - the kind intended for children about one year old. Take her with you to buy it and let her pick the colour and style. Accept whatever she chooses and ignore the age rating. Your daughter is far more likely to use it if she picked it! The idea here is a soft-spout cup will have a similar feel in her mouth to the bottle but slightly different. Let her use this for a while then suggest going shopping for a new one.
This time point her in the direction of the hard spout ones. These often have characters from Disney, Pixar and other movies on them so this is your in-road to encourage her to choose one. Go on your own first to the stores and see what they have and then take her to the store that has the characters she likes most. Same process - she picks it, so she owns it and wants to use it.
At this point I will bring in some bedtime rules. She can have her sipper cup of milk but it needs to be drunk before teeth brushing. If you don't have lamps in your home, buy some cheap ones and place them strategically between her room and the bathroom she will brush her teeth in. Sit on her bed with her and read her some stories (lets say 2) while she drinks her sipper cup of milk. Then take her to brush her teeth and fill the cup with water while you are at it. Keep the lights to lamps only so that it has that sleepy feel. Then take her back to bed, tuck her under the covers and read one more story. Stay with her if you normally would while she goes to sleep.
Now she may resist this at first and I am not of the opinion that your daughter working herself into a lather because she needs her milk is a good thing. So I would work on a 'deals basis.' If she becomes upset after teeth brushing saying she needs her milk then you make a deal. She can have a little more milk but then water after that. Talk to her all the time about being a big girl, having lovely strong teeth etc.
I'm going to stop here because I know I am probably bombarding you but the key is to move slowly and work with your daughter to get rid of the bottle.

Commercial Utilities
The Finance Department sends bills to City residents and businesses each month for water, sewer, garbage (solid waste) and storm drain services. About 25,000 bills are prepared each month. The City operates its own water and wastewater (sewer) plants as well as maintains a storm drain system. Garbage, recycling and yard waste service is provided by a private firm but the charge is combined on the City's bill.

LAKEWOOD - City officials this week agreed to a three-year contract for Howard Chambers to return as city manager, a position he held for 34 years.
Chambers retired early last year, but agreed to remain as interim city manager on a part-time basis for another year.
Last month, the City Council agreed to rehire Chambers, 67, full time effective March 1 at a salary of $225,000. His previous salary was $240,000.
He will also have full-time use of a city-owned, natural-gas-powered Honda Civic vehicle, and he'll receive full benefits.
Chambers will be an at-will employee with no right to severance pay if his contract is terminated, according to the proposed contract.
In other actions, the council Tuesday approved an update to its water conservation rebate program, which began last May. So far, response to the program has been low, officials said.
The program is an effort to meet the state's 2020 goal of a 20 percent reduction in water use.
The city offers residents credits on their water bills if they take voluntary action to curb outdoor water use, including bill rebates from $5 to $50 for the purchase of water-saving irrigation devices such as sprinkler rotor nozzles and drip irrigation kits.
The program provide rebates of up to $80 for the removal of turf and its replacement with water-conserving landscaping or water-permeable surfaces.
The program has a budget of $25,000; however, to date the Department of Water Resources has issued just $400 in device rebates. The department also has approved four turf removal rebate pre-applications, but hasn't issued any turf removal rebates, said Water Resources Director James Glancy.
The results are lower than expected, Glancy said. He suggested the city give program brochures to various home improvement stores to share with customers.
Glancy also suspected people are unaware of the program and the size and time frame for turf removal projects might be restrictive.
As a result, the updated plan increases the amount of turf removal eligible for a rebate from 80 square feet to 800 square feet and the rebate itself from $80 to $800.
The proposed update also increases the time frame for completing the turf removal from two months to six months. Other conservation methods eligible for rebates will be added to the list.
For more information on the program, visit www.lakewoodcity.org/waterrebates. Residents also can download the rebate application for purchasing water-saving devices and initiate the process for receiving their discounts.

dude, 100% working ? are u sure ? cuz i wanna buy one of those , and don`t wanna buy a pice of s!t.
i`m waiting for reconfirmation.
anybody else did some testing with this wifi card?
Just wanted to thank BT4 developers for finally bringing full support to my wireless adapter(no installs/patches to add) in the new R2 release. Fully working monitor mode and injection! The card didn't work properly under earlier versions of BT4, and it needed a lot of patching and editing in BT3, now works like a charm!

I am running R2 and just purchased a RT2870 on ebay for a whopping $3 but I'm having stability issues with it using WICD. It will connect to an AP for a little bit then just randomly drop the connection.
I haven't tried to inject with it yet but aireplay-ng --test wlan0 doesn't have the same result for me...
After playing with this for nearly an hour I decided to plug the adapter into another machine and see if it was the box.. and it was/is. I'm not sure yet what the problem is but in my old HP test bench machine it's a nogo.. But I'll address that another day.
I just wanted to let you know that it does appear to work. I'll try it on my APs tomorrow and let you know what I get..

I have problems on one system as well. Monitor mode and airodump work well but if you start sending a fakeauth or deauth the driver (rt2800usb) goes down at once. Another RT73 USB stick works properly on that machine (rt73usb). On a different system the RT2870usb seems to work flawlessly though (in vmware).
USB stick is 'Hama WLAN Stick 300Mbps' (RT2870E). It has two antennas.

Walnut Industry
Did you know? The California Walnut Board, established in 1948, and the California Walnut Commission, established in 1987, represent the interests of the 4000+ walnut growers and the nearly 100 handlers spread across California's Central Valley. The industry generates $1.4 billion in farm gate revenue and supports some 60,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
The Federal Environmental Protection Agency's Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program recognizes the California Walnut Board as a Silver Member, reserved for high achieving environmental stewards.
More than 99% of the walnuts in U.S. are grown in the fertile soils of California's Central Valley. And this is made possible by the efforts of the 4000 or so family farms that have been growing walnuts of the highest quality for over a century.
The walnut handlers continue to adopt cutting edge technology to deliver a product that is nutritious and safe and meets rigorous international quality standards.

The shrill sound of motorcycles revving their engines doesn't pierce
her ears. Dirt flying through the air doesn't choke her. She thinks
nothing of getting a little mud on her face.
Her tiny frame dressed in jeans, boots, and a tank top, Andrea
Leib '01 straps on a helmet and jumps into her RZR Side-by-Side off-road
vehicle to take laps. Right behind her is grown son, Michael—looking
much like a Star Wars storm trooper in his motocross gear—heading out
for a 40-minute "moto" practice. Her husband, Don, has just fine-tuned
Michael's bike and heads over to coach his racer son.
For Andrea Leib and her family, the motocross track is home,
office, and classroom. Over the past decade, motocross has been the
chosen life of the Leib men—Michael in pursuit of a professional
motocross racing career and Don as Michael's manager, with careers at
the track in motocross advertising design and as founder and CEO of
Rocket Exhaust.
Motocross was not, however, the chosen life of Andrea, who had
been pursuing a career in education. But she made a decision to support
her son's career and in that process she unexpectedly discovered her
Andrea envisioned a career as a traditional classroom teacher
when she earned her undergraduate degree and teaching credential at Kean
University in New Jersey. Once in California, her hopes for a permanent
teaching position were dashed when she learned she needed more credits
to teach in the state.
"I thought if I needed to go back to school I wasn't just going
to take a few classes," said Andrea, who discovered the University of
Redlands online. "I entered into the master's program in education with a
focus on educational counseling, and it was the best decision I ever
Meanwhile, then fifth-grader Michael was becoming a serious
competitor on the amateur motocross circuit. This was a game changer for
the Leibs.
"When Don first put Michael on a motorcycle, I never imagined
it would leave the backyard," Andrea said. "When you sign up for
t-ball, you know you'll just be going to the local park. But when you
sign up for motocross? It takes you to Tennessee, Florida, and
Oklahoma—all over the country."
Michael needed to train, travel, and get his education. Don's
solution was for Andrea to homeschool their son and their older
daughter, Ali, who was then in eighth grade.
"Andrea thought I was nuts," he says.
"It was something I had no interest in," Andrea says. "I knew
people who were homeschooling and I wasn't sure how much actual
'schooling' was going on."
Despite her doubts, Andrea made it her mission to ensure a
first-class education for both Michael and Ali. She enrolled them in a
free charter program for one year as an experiment. It wasn't long
before friends at the track sought Andrea's help for their children.
"I started putting flyers on motorhomes at races, knowing
these kids were there with an amount of work that just wasn't fair. At
races, I would go over to the announcer, tell everyone I was there and
have people sign up," she says. "It evolved into something I never
thought possible. I started tutoring students at the track, helping them
get through their homework while they were training, competing, and
Andrea says she soon knew she didn't just want a tutoring service at the track.
"I knew this was a school I was going to build."
Trial and error took Andrea from tutor to teacher to founder of
On Track Custom Learning Solutions. The private distance learning school
is just what the name suggests—customized learning that fits the
students' availability.
"Some of my students are at the track four to five hours a
day, come home and maintain their bike, work out, take a shower and by
the time they eat dinner it is 7 p.m. They don't have time for five
hours of study."
The need was especially apparent to Andrea.
"We live this life," she says. "We understand these racers
are athletes—serious and dedicated. It is difficult to compete, and the
traveling can be brutal."
Michael now races professionally around the world.
"Going to school and constantly falling behind wasn't cutting
it, although neither was growing up without an education," he says.
"Being able to do both made it possible for me to become a professional
racer and chase my dreams all at the same time. It's been inspiring to
watch my mom chase her dreams, too."
Potential On Track students discover the program through word
of mouth, online, or at a race. Andrea walks them through the
enrollment process and assesses their educational needs.
"If traditional school is working for a student, there is no
reason to stop doing what works. On Track is for the racer, the athlete,
the musician or any other student who finds traditional isn't working,"
she says.
Former motocross racer Sara Price discovered On Track when she was getting serious about racing.
"I was able to take my school on the road, train and work hard with my racing to make my dreams come true," Price says.
About 70 students like Sara have graduated from On Track, which
now has seven home coaches who connect with the students through
texting, Skype, email, and a virtual classroom.
Students are responsible for about three hours of work daily
and for communicating with their coaches. The curriculum is built to
state standards, and the school was recently accredited by AdvancED.
Andrea now serves mostly as administrator of the school but
teaches electives during the summer. She credits her time at Redlands
for allowing her to conceive and seize the opportunity to start On
"If I had never gone back to school at Redlands to get my
master's, I don't know if I would have thought up this idea or had the
confidence to execute it."

Apparently Cressida wanted to be allowed to attend more royal functions to show that Harry was serious and he declined to let her do so and that showed her that it wasn't going to work out. The two were thought to be really serious earlier this year when they did attend a charity event together that was an "official" appearance by Harry. This weekend, people in Tennessee will get to see Harry and his brother Prince William when they attend a friend's wedding there.

Ariana Grande and Austin Mahone will perform at the VMAs pre-show!
Listen to Ariana Grande on iHeartRadio | Listen to Austin Mahone on iHeartRadio
If you weren't planning on watching the MTV Video Music Awards pre-show—or had no idea such a pre-show existed—we've got two names that might make you alter those plans: Austin Mahone and Ariana Grande.
Neither can legally drink and the former can't legally vote, but these two pop powerhouses know how to please a crowd. Mahone has built a legion of devoted "Mahomies" since he started posting YouTube videos, and hits like "What About Love" have earned him a coveted "Artist to Watch" VMA nomination this year.
20-year-old Grande was in very real contention for "song of the summer" this year with "The Way" featuring Mac Miller. Her upcoming album Yours Truly is one of the most highly-anticipated debuts of the year.
Bring on the "Austiana" fan-fiction, folks…

The Daily Startup: Thiel's Mithril Capital Builds Up First Fund
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Mithril Capital Management, a firm backed by PayPal co-founder and billionaire Peter Thiel, is now managing between $440 million and $450 million, having added to its first fund over the past few months, VentureWire has learned. The San Francisco-based firm's principals have been scouting the world for investments and have closed their first deal, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Medical-device company Ivantis has closed on $27 million of a Series B round that remains open for additional investors, as it proceeds with clinical trials of its glaucoma stent in the U.S. and overseas. The company makes the Hydrus MicroStent, a small device that aims to treat pressure build-up in the eye caused by glaucoma. The device has already been approved for sale in Europe. The Series B was led by new investor Ascension Health Ventures, joined by returning backers Delphi Ventures and New Enterprise Associates and new investor MemorialCare Innovation Fund.
Also in today's VentureWire, SchooLa is raising funding to help local businesses and schools work together to battle school funding cuts, VentureWire has learned. Ecosystem Ventures and Learn Capital have already invested in the startup, according to a person familiar with the matter…New York startup Floored provides software and services to create 3-D scans of offices, stores or other spaces. It aims to help property owners enable prospective customers to virtually walk around spaces that they have to offer. The startup has raised $1 million in seed funding…Growth-equity firm Foresite Capital Management has raised $100 million for a debut fund. Entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jim Tananbaum formed Foresite in 2011 to invest in health-care companies with products on or near the market. The team began raising Foresite Capital Fund I LP last year.

BELMONT, N.C.- The Brevard College (2-4, 0-1) men's lacrosse team couldn't keep up with non-conference foe Belmont Abbey College (2-4) in a 13-3 loss on Wednesday afternoon despite a season-high 29 saves from goalie Andy Reilly.
The Delmar, N.Y. native anchored the defense, which saw 42 shots on goal and 45 shots overall. The junior topped his previous season-best of 27 saves, set on the road at Catawba on Saturday.
Ryan Taylor put in two goals for BC, placing his first in at the 7:59 mark of the second quarter after the Crusaders went on a five-goal run. The freshman added another goal with 1:14 left in the game.
Blair Alexandersen netted the Tornados other goal at the 8:17 mark of the first quarter.
Brendan Rogers and Will Chastain both clipped in hat tricks to lead the Crusaders. Belmont Abbey ended the game with 39 groundballs compared to Brevard's 17.
Brevard found success at the face off line after splitting it between Alsharif Blackman and Kodi Roberts. The pair combined to win 10 face offs to Belmont Abbey's nine.
Brevard will host Tusculumn at the Brevard Lacrosse Field at 1 p.m Saturday in their first South Atlantic Conference home game.

Hello there everybody,
Another quick question:
Coming out of my first Vipassana experience, the intention to meditate a minimum of two times a day has become a regular occurrence in my life.
Normally, I can find this easy enough to bring into my daily life, with even more sitting a possibility as well when time is available.
However, for the next month or so I am currently cherry picking. It is rigorous work beginning very early in the morning and going into the afternoon.
My body is quite tired, and adding to my daily errands + asana yoga, I find I need as much sleep as I can get.
Though, due to my want to keep at least two separate sittings in my life, I find myself forcing myself to get up earlier even in order to squeeze in a sitting before work.
One hour before work (2:00AM), and one after work (around 3:00PM). Though during this morning meditation I am quite exhausted and body-tired.
My question is: should I continue and just persevere through the exhaustion for the sake of getting in the sitting time?
Or would it be more wise to get more sleep for my body and only sit once a day, then bring back the second sitting once this work season is over?
I just feel like I am "overdoing it", for the schedule/exertion of my body.
Thank you kindly in advance for any help and advice.
My utmost metta to you all.

Heinz Bluhm Bibliothek
An important academic asset of the Department of German Studies is the Heinz Bluhm Memorial Library, containing approximately 4,000 volumes from the collection of the late Heinz Bluhm (1907-1993). Professor Bluhm was the founder (in 1968) and long-time chair (1968-1976) of the Department of Germanic Studies.
The Library consists chiefly of the Germanic volumes from Professor Bluhm's own extensive personal research library which he amassed over the period of more than six decades. Upon his death in November of 1993 Professor Bluhm bequeathed his collection to Boston College. The particular strengths of the Library are (1) Martin Luther, (2) the Age of Goethe and (3) Nietzsche, although the full spectrum of German life and letters—from the Middle Ages well into the Twentieth Century—is richly represented as well.
The Library opened in the summer of 1996. It is located in Lyons Hall 201E on the Boston College middle campus. The Library is open during the academic year on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is available for use by the entire Boston College community.

Data Checks and Processing Performed by CDIAC
An important part of the NDP process at the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) involves the quality assurance (QA) review of data before distribution. Data received at CDIAC are rarely in a condition that permits immediate distribution, regardless of the source. To guarantee data of the highest possible quality, CDIAC conducts extensive QA reviews that involve examining the data for completeness, reasonableness, and accuracy. Although they have common objectives, these reviews are tailored to each data set and often require extensive programming efforts. In short, the QA process is a critical component in the value-added concept of supplying accurate, usable data for researchers.
The following information summarizes the data-processing and QA checks performed by CDIAC on the data obtained during the R/V Thomas Washington TUNES-3 Expedition in the South Pacific Ocean (WOCE Section P16C).
- Carbon-related data and preliminary hydrographic measurements were provided to CDIAC by Catherine Goyet of WHOI and Peter Guenther and Dave Keeling of SIO. Hydrographic measurements and the station information files were provided by Lynne Talley of SIO and by the WOCE Hydrographic Program Office after quality evaluation. A FORTRAN 77 retrieval code was written and used to merge and reformat all data files.
- The designation for missing values, given as "9.0" in the original files, was changed to "999.9."
- To check for obvious outliers, all data were plotted with a PLOTNEST.C program written by Stewart C. Sutherland (LDEO). The program plots a series of nested profiles, using the station number as an offset; the first station is defined at the beginning, and subsequent stations are offset by a fixed interval (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). Several outliers were identified and removed after consultation with the principal investigators.
- To identify "noisy" data and possible systematic, methodological errors, property-property plots for all parameters were generated (Fig. 7), carefully examined, and compared with plots from previous expeditions in the South Pacific Ocean.
- All variables were checked for values exceeding physical limits, such as sampling depth values that are greater than the given bottom depths.
- Dates and times were checked for bogus values (e.g., values of MONTH < 1 or > 12, DAY < 1 or > 31, YEAR < or > 1991, TIME < 0000 or > 2400).
- Station locations (latitudes and longitudes) and sampling times were examined for consistency with maps and cruise information supplied by Lynne Talley.

REDLANDS - Concept design plans for Heritage Park reveal a number of amenities that will serve as learning experiences for all ages.
The idea of the park - which will be built on land on Nevada and Orange avenues and Barton Road - has been in discussion for several years, with some concept plans going back to 1996, said Fred Cardenas, director of the Quality of Life Department.
In anticipation of the city's 125th anniversary, City Manager N. Enrique Martinez asked Cardenas and his staff to put concept plans together in time for the year-long celebration.
Six or seven community organizations from a variety of focuses were invited to meet with Cardenas and company to discuss what elements they would like to see in the park.
Those ideas were collected and presented to Shawn Burch, president of Landscape Architect Inc., who then implemented them into concept design plans.
"(He) came up with three different layouts...and the final design concept (comprised) all three designs and input from the groups," Cardenas said.
The park's mission is to provide all residents educational opportunities that interpret the history of Redlands through its various periods.
To help that mission succeed, 11 amenities were added to concept plans.
They include a 150- to 200-person capacity amphitheater, "zone transition" structures, a riparian zone, a Native American "village," an ethno-botanical and water conservation demonstration garden, a Zanja reconstruction area, an archeological dig, a vineyard, a replicated water wheel and a historic citrus grove.
Since the park will be adjacent to Grove School, Barton House and the Asistencia Museum, various stakeholders for the park have indicated additional amenities would help create a true learning experience, city officials said.
The additional amenities include direct connections to both the Barton House and Asistencia, a public restroom building in addition to the Barton School House, a renovated animal pen, a bus loading zone, safe school street crossing, an Inland Empire Resource Conservation District, an olive and fruit tree grove, an arboretum area showcasing native tree species, a park maintenance garage, an organic garden for Grove School, an area for a Farmers Market and an accessible trail systems throughout the park.
Dozens of trees donated by Jack Dangermond will also make up much of the park, Cardenas said.
Students, staff and administrators at The Grove are looking forward to seeing the park become a reality, especially to support curriculum.
A Montessori-based public charter school, The Grove teaches its students "real world" activities through experiences.
Once the park is built, students from the school will do some of their work there, said Grove Principal Gena Engelfried.
"It will be the ideal opportunity for the school to be larger in the community when it comes to engagement," she said.
Since there is currently a vacant piece of land, which was donated to the city, students already see it as a park, Engelfried said.
"And they already see themselves as stewards of the park," she said.
Cardenas said he does not have a plan for when construction on the park will begin, but the city is making strides on the permits needed and plans.
"We think that by mid-January or at the end of January we will be ready to do all the work in terms of planting," he said, adding that plans could change depending on what the City Council directs the city to do.
How it will be paid for is another hurdle that needs to be taken care of, he said.
Despite those bumps in the road, talk around town is positive when it comes to the park and plans, Cardenas said.
"There are some groups, particularly the ones who have been working on this for 10, 12 years, that would love to see this project go forward," he said. "(But) we will have to wait and see."

It seems like a good idea in theory, but like I've said to some of my colleagues, "How can I expect my students to master a concept/ skill, that I haven't even mastered?"
We (at least here in America) have a great trend running of de-valuing terms and standards. Everyone has to have a grandiose title. Everyone is a winner at everything. The concept of "mastery" used to imply a great depth of experience and knowledge in a given subject well beyond the pale. Now it simply tends to mean that someone can add 2+2 and come up with 4 (most of the time).
We now tend to teach to tests and score them with tightly defined "rubrics" breaking thngs into tinly little measureable discrete chunks. Unfortunately, we don't seem to teach people to THINK much anymore.
As this thread implies... the term "Master" has no real significance anymore.

AC/DC Drummer Releasing Solo Album
Listen to AC/DC Radio on iHeartRadio
AC/DC's drummer is stepping out on his own. Head Job is the upcoming debut solo album from Phil Rudd.
The rocker tells an Australian radio station the lead-off single, "Repo Man," is one of the weakest tracks on the set, and "most of the stuff on the album is better." But Rudd says he's happy with all the songs on the disc. He explains that he didn't include any songs he didn't like, adding that "there's plenty of Phil on there, but no filler."
Rudd wrote and recorded the album with singer Alan Badger and guitarist Jeffrey Martin. Phil praises his collaborators, saying Jeffrey is "a stellar guitarist" while Alan has "a voice from above." Rudd's Head Job will be released on August 29th.

Begin to pipe with a light pressure, then use heavier pressure toward the center of the puff, then return gradually to a light pressure to form the tapered end.
To end each puff, stop pressure and pull away.
Repeat as you move in a straight line to form a row of puffs.
