Do you have a fat belly? You have probably tried different types of weight loss program but the stubborn fat on your belly just won't go right? You tried being on diet for a long period only to regain your weight back weeks later. Actually that is how human physiology works. So don't be surprised. If you starve yourself for too long, your body will tend to slow its metabolism, reducing your fat burning power.
That is when the 7-Day Belly Blast Diet comes in. This weight loss program was designed by the well known Josh Bezoni. He is a nutritionist and even himself struggled getting rid of his belly fats. He realized that the conventional techniques that he was thought at school don't really work. He decided to go back to the drawing board and redesigned a completely new system that will help him flatten his belly once a for all without any rebound. That is how he developed the 7-Day Belly Blast Diet.
Josh has found out that there is no need to be on diet to burn down fat. It is all about boosting the body's metabolism. It is more about how you eat. In his book he lists all the types of food that you can rely on to boost your metabolism. Not only that, he also lists all the foods that you should avoid. Today's "industry made food" is full of additives to preserve them. In those same foods you can also find addictive substances just to trick your brain into making you want more of it. Josh explains all of it in his book.
Because of all the junk food that you take in, your metabolism ends up getting broken. You can rely on Josh' 's 7-Day Belly Blast Diet to fix it once and for all. Once your metabolism gets back on track, you can now burn fat 24/7 even when you are asleep.
How does it work
The calorie confusion method
Josh method is referred to as the calorie confusion method. As explained earlier, you do not help boost your metabolism by making yourself crave. You rather slow it down. With Josh's method you actually trick your metabolism. Every 7 days you just have to change the amount of calories you take in. That way the body will not see itself as craving. Mind you, you don't have to actively count the amount of calories you are taking in. Josh gives you some few simple rules that will guide you in your choices.
List of 37 foods that kill fats
Did you know that turkey leg and dark chocolate was good for you belly. Yep, there are certain foods that help burn fat in your body. You can keep eating them without any remorse. Josh gives you a list of all 37 foods that you should have on your table if you are serious about losing those stubborn fats. You might be surprised to know that you are already eating those foods. Just that you are not doing it the right way. Josh shows you how to take advantage of those foods and burn down fats.
The thermal burn technique
This technique enables you to burn more belly fats by eating more food.
The method developed by Josh can help you lose up to 11 pounds in just 7 days. This happens without having to kill yourself at the gym or starve your body.
This is what you get inside the package
The diet manual
The diet manual itself contains all the information about the foods to avoid. It teaches how to eat well without craving yourself. You also get the list of food that helps you flatten your belly.
The success tracker
The success tracker helps you be on track. It is a very simple 7 day cycle sheet that you can rely on to make sure you don't get confused as you are moving along the program This is also used to keep record of your progress.
Weight loss supplement review
The weight loss supplement review is a little ebook that also gives you the power to know how to pick your supplement. That is if you want to add supplements to help in the weight loss process. You get to know which ones to avoid.
Inspirational success videos
Josh has helped thousands of people lose weight. He has come up with this inspirational videos with several of the people that he has helped for you to see how real it is. These inspirational videos will be a huge boost for your moral. They will help you stick to the program.
The fast abs manual
You just don't want to lose your belly fats. You also want to have those sexy abs on your belly, don't you? With this manual, you get very simple easy to do exercises that help you shape you belly. You can finally have that sexy body you've always dreamed of.
Is this a scam or not?
Josh has been in this business for years now. He has personally helped people lose weight throughout the years. He is also offering his product with a 60 days money refund guarantee. You get it at no risk to you. 11 pounds lost in 7 days might be a bit exaggerated though. You can indeed lose some few pounds in 7 days, if you follow the instructions in the manual.
This is actually a 7 day cycle that can be repeated over and over if you want to completely flatten your belly. Since you have 60 days to try it, why not? You can try it at least 7 times before the guarantee period expires. You will definitely see results for yourself if you try it. Get your copy of the 7-day Belly Blast Diet now.

The opposition leader was responding to reports that Mr Fraser, who was prime minister between 1975 and 1983, has quit the Liberal Party.
Mr Fraser resigned in December, saying the party was no longer a liberal party but a conservative party, The Australian Financial Review said on Wednesday.
While he got on personally with Mr Abbott, Mr Fraser saw the current Liberal leader as "all over the place" on policy, the paper said.
Mr Abbott said he was not prepared to say anything negative about Mr Fraser.
"I think he was a fine Liberal prime minister," he told Macquarie Radio.
"He was a distinguished leader of our party through some difficult times as well as some successful times."
Mr Fraser "obviously" had a right to make judgments about where he stood these days.
"I thought that the most interesting thing that Malcolm Fraser's done recently, though, was declare that the Rudd government was worse than the Whitlam (government)," Mr Abbott said.
Liberal MP Petro Georgiou, a former Victorian state director of the Liberal Party, said he was deeply saddened by news of Mr Fraser's resignation.
"Malcolm's made an enormous contribution to Australia and to the party," he told ABC radio.
"He's shown that it's possible to be very politically tough but also compassionate and have a real social conscience."
Mr Fraser was a person who took his personal convictions very seriously, Mr Georgiou said.
"Malcolm's had a classical Menzian view of the party and has been troubled by where he's seen the party go over recent years.
"I think it is a general view by Malcolm that the party differs from the party that he joined."
Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce said Mr Fraser was on a new chapter of his "life-discovery mission" and was more than entitled to it.
"He's philosophically moved on from his former base - that's his gig and good luck to him, but it really means very little," he told reporters in Canberra.
But Australian Greens leader Bob Brown said the resignation would be a turnoff for many a Liberal voter.
"If they're losing a great Australian like Mr Fraser from their ranks, then there'll be many other Australians who would be Liberals who will be looking elsewhere," he said.
"It's a commentary about the Liberal Party having drifted so far away from its roots."
Senator Joyce denied the Liberals were leaning too far to the right.
"There was a time there when I was really struggling to find a difference between Mr Rudd and (former Liberal prime minister John) Mr Howard," he said.
But post-election, the political divide between the two sides was now stark.
"The state of our bank balances being one, this moronic (mining) tax being another and the fact that he's been burning down houses around the countryside," he said.
"I don't know whether that makes you conservative or socialist or just completely and utterly hopeless."
Independent senator Nick Xenophon said the resignation would cause angst for small-l liberals.
Some critics might label Mr Fraser "a grumpy old man", he said, adding others would say the Liberal party had grown more than he had.
Liberal backbencher Jamie Briggs compared Mr Fraser to former Labor leader Mark Latham.
He wouldn't say if he was disappointed by Mr Fraser's decision because he didn't know the man.
"(But) I guess it's the same, you can ask the Labor party members if they're disappointed Mark Latham's no longer a member of the Labor party," Mr Briggs told reporters.
The South Australian MP also suggested Mr Fraser had quit the party previously.
"I don't think this is the first time," he said.

I won't post links, but you may have recently heard of PerlMonk's current security situation.
As part of our response to this situation the CPAN admins (or more specifically, Andreas) will at some point in the near future most-likely be doing a partial bulk-reset of PAUSE passwords.
This will not need to be a complete password reset, as there is a method by which we can limit the password reset to any rotten PAUSE accounts infected by the (50,000) rotten PerlMonks accounts. Either with a shared password, or a co-incidentally identical password.
If you'd like to have some control over the situation, I would strongly recommend that if you have both a PerlMonks and PAUSE login you audit the password you were using on PerlMonks and check for any other sites or hosts you may have shared that password with, including PAUSE.
If you update your PAUSE account to a more secure password, you should not get caught in the reset.
Now would also be a good time to update your PAUSE email address if it has gone stale.
Posted with comments off, for obvious reasons. Now go check your security.

But Irish Prime Minister
In the end it appears he won this particular battle, as a tax rise is not being required as a condition of the European aid. But I reckon it's only a matter of time before he loses the tax war.
To me, it makes no sense for the euro zone to persevere with fiscal sovereignty when it's attempting to operate with a single currency. Many see this as an argument against the euro. Instead, I see it as an argument in favour of abandoning this fiscal independence.
Cowen is understandably keen to protect Ireland's fiscal sovereignty. Its ultra-low corporate tax rate has encouraged numerous multinationals to set up operations within Ireland's borders. That has delivered jobs and commensurate economic growth. And it has poured billions into the Irish exchequer.
But these "beggar thy neighbour" policy solutions are hardly supportive of a strong Europe. Rather, there's a strong case for seeking a level taxation playing field across the euro zone if we're to see the euro survive.
The past three years has demonstrated just how interlinked fiscal and monetary policy setting has become. We've regularly seen central banks acting to enhance or counterbalance government taxation and spending initiatives. But not in Europe, where the European Central Bank has often struggled to add value, given the differing fiscal challenges being faced by individual members.
So I welcome the push by International Monetary Fund chief,
On Friday he argued that euro zone member states needed to be ready to cede greater control to centralised European institutions if it wanted to achieve its full potential.
"When the agenda is left with nations, things stall. Europe needs a holistic growth strategy, where every country benefits from the efforts of others," he told the European Banking Congress last week.
Strauss-Kahn favours the creation of a centralised fiscal authority, with political independence comparable with that of the ECB. "The authority would set each member's fiscal stance and allocate resources from the central budget to best hit the dual targets of stability and growth."
To me that looks to be an eminently logical solution. Unfortunately, logic has been in remarkably short supply in Europe over recent months.
It was good to see iron ore producer,
Atlas has been one of the great success stories of the resources boom.
They've come a long way over the past five years ago, when I first came across Atlas and its impressive young managing director,
Flanagan had a vision for Atlas that even then included shipping 3 million tonnes of ore by 2010. He would do this, he told me, by sticking to the four Ds: discover, define, dig, and then deliver.
He'll be pretty spot-on with his production target, and certainly hasn't disappointed shareholders, given the 10-fold share price appreciation since late 2005.
And he hasn't lost the desire to grow – he's now has his sights set on 12 million tonnes a year.
I mentioned the Pardoo MoU for good reason. At that initial meeting, Flanagan discussed the appeal of doing just such a deal. Plan B meant resorting to trucking the ore to Port Headland, an option that, while economic, wouldn't be half as profitable.
But the rail deal almost didn't happen, given BHP saw little benefit to itself in doing a deal with this mining minnow.
All that changed when the Australian Competition Tribunal ordered BHP to the negotiating table. It's good to see common sense finally prevailed, even if it is some five years late.
While the federal government likes to claim all the credit for Australia's success in avoiding the the global financial crisis, what really saved us was our ability to coat-tail emerging Asian growth.
The problem has always been quantifying this resource-inspired Asian growth kicker. So it was good to get some timely input on this from the IMF.
In Emerging Asia's Impact on Australian Growth, economist Ben Hunt calculates that roughly 25 per cent of Australia's growth over the past decade has flowed from emerging Asia's growth differential over that period.
Canberra played its part, as government policy certainly helped this process, notes Hunt. But they'll need to do much more in the future, if we're going to see another 10 years of Asian-enhanced growth.
"Adjustment within Australia to the impact of emerging Asia implies significant resource reallocation across sectors . . . policy can maximise the benefits by facilitating that reallocation."
This would require a rethink in a number of areas, as "improved infrastructure and harmonisation of state and federal regulation could further enhance Australia's ability to shift resources across sectors and increase the benefits from emerging Asian growth".
And there are risks, as relying more heavily on external growth drivers would involve greater volatility for the Australian economy.
For fiscal policy, Hunt believes this means allowing for larger swings in the fiscal balance than would occur in economies less exposed to large exogenous shocks.

Theater for the New City's LOVE 'N' COURAGE Gala to Honor Charles Busch, 2/25
The Pulitzer Prize and OBIE Award-winning Theatre for the New City (TNC) will hold its 10th Annual LOVE 'N' COURAGE benefit gala on Monday, February 25, 2013 at the National Arts Club (15 Gramercy Park South in Manhattan), this year honoring award-winning actor and playwright Charles Busch, it has been announced by Crystal Field, co-founder and artistic director of Theater for the New City. The LOVE 'N' COURAGE celebration will begin with cocktails at 6:30pm, with dinner following at 7:00pm, and performances at 8:00pm. Proceeds benefit the Emerging Playwrights' Program at Theater for the New City, located at 155 First Avenue in the East Village, where it remains one of the few remaining outposts for experimental and political theater in 21st century New York.
Hosts for LOVE 'N' COURAGE are composer and singer Phoebe Legere and playwright/filmmaker Matt Morillo ("Maid of Honor"). The performers at this year's show will include Mr. Busch, The Love Show, dancer/choreographer Kitty Lunn and Infinity Dance, juggler supreme John Grimaldi, Carol Freeman, Luba Mason, KT Sullivan, Tammy Grimes, Drew Pulver, Mark Marcante and Crystal Field.
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary season, Theater for the New City will formally announce at the Feb. 25th event that it has paid off its 25-year mortgage for it permanent home, the theater complex on First Ave. and 10th St.
Numerous plays by Charles Busch have been presented at TNC through the years, starting with his very first play, BEFORE OUR MOTHER'S EYES. Subsequent Busch plays produced there include DIVINE SISTER, SHANGHAI MOON, JUDITH OF BETHULIA and the annual holiday treat, TIMES SQUARE ANGEL. Mr. Bush is the author and star of such plays as The Divine Sister, The Lady in Question, Red Scare on Sunset and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, which ran five years and is one of the longest-running plays in Off-Broadway history. His play The Tale of the Allergist's Wife ran for 777 performances on Broadway and won Mr. Busch the Outer Circle Critics John Gassner Award and received a Tony nomination for Best Play. He wrote and starred in the film versions of his plays, Psycho Beach Party and Die Mommie Die, the latter of which won him the Best Performance Award at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2003, Mr. Busch received a special Drama Desk Award for career achievement as both performer and playwright. Mr. Busch made his directorial debut with the film A Very Serious Person, which premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, where it won an honorable mention. He is also the subject of the documentary film The Lady in Question is Charles Busch.
Theatre for the New City is a long-running bastion for new theatrical works. While talented emerging playwrights often find themselves competing for funding with more established writers; Theater for the New City's mission is to offer "love and encouragement" to these struggling artists with its Emerging Playwrights Program. Theater for the New City is a Pulitzer Prize winning community cultural center known for its high artistic standards and community service. One of New York's most prolific theatrical organizations, TNC produces 30-40 premieres of new American plays per year, at least 10 of which are by emerging and young playwrights. Many influential theater artists of the last quarter century have found TNC's Resident Theater Program instrumental to their careers, among them Sam Shepard, Moises Kaufman, Richard Foreman, Charles Busch, Maria Irene Fornes, Miguel Piñero and Academy Award Winners Tim Robbins and Adrien Brody.

Magneto-optic effects in single-mode fibres
W.A.Gambling, D.N.Payne and H.Matsumura
Detailed studies have been made of the magneto-optic effect in single-mode fibres exhibiting both linear and circular retardations. A novel technique enables the Verdet constant to be easily measured. Applications of the effect, together with the magnitude of electromagnetic interference in optical fibres likely to be encountered in practice, are discussed.

Miles H. Sigler, 81, founder and former chief of the division of nephrology at Lankenau Hospital, died Nov. 29.
Sigler, who grew up in Richmond, Va., and later, in Buffalo, N.Y., attended the University of Rochester. He excelled academically and athletically, and also enjoyed playing the clarinet and saxophone in jazz side projects.
He attended Cornell University Medical School and did his internal medicine residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Upon completion of a ne-phrology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, he served as a medical officer in the army in Puerto Rico. It was during this period that he began a lifelong career in medical research.
In 1963, Sigler joined the staff at Lankenau Hospital, founding the division of nephrology and leading its progress for more than 40 years.
Hallmarks of Sigler's career include developing Lankenau's kidney-transplant program (the first at a suburban hospital); founding the first nephrology fellowship in the region's suburbs; introducing slow, continuous hemodialysis; and starting Nephrology Associates, providing the Main Line's first dialysis program with his partner, Dr. Brendan Teehan.
He also wrote numerous articles for international medical journals.
Sigler is survived by his wife of 56 years, the former Elaine B. Aser; daughters Dr. Allison Sigler and Gwen M. Sigler; son Philip Sigler; a granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews. His brother, Paul Sigler, predeceased him.

That's basically what I think would be needed.

Just a not too complicated way of handling someone after catching

them in the act, to reduce stress for everyone.

It's a great learning experience, I personally would love to learn how

to handle such things, on the physical security level in the best manner.

So, I think this in some way may be a good way to learn more.

I do wish to thank those who were vigilant in preventing items from

leaving the space, and it appears we don't have an issue yet with

catching the person.

A growing nationwide movement is underway to make public libraries more "family friendly." Fairfax County, VA mother Karen Jo Gounaud protested the availability of a gay-oriented newspaper, the Washington Blade, to children at county libraries. She is now the leader of the new national organization called Family Friendly Libraries whose purpose is to keep public libraries accountable to taxpayers who foot the bill.
Money and hoopla did not help the nation's largest teachers union, the National Education Association, to win a school board election in Wilkensburg, PA. In an effort to oust a private company hired to save a failing elementary school, NEA candidates spent 10 times more in campaign money than incumbents, bused in teachers for rallies, and barraged airwaves with radio ads. However, the incumbents won and the company stayed. Says one winning incumbent Emma Madison: "It shows how much people want to try new ideas for schools."
Less than half of Americans know that the earth orbits the sun annually, according to a survey sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Participants in the survey had an especially difficult time defining scientific terms. Only 9% could explain a molecule, and only 21% understood DNA.
Recent revisions to the U.S. History Standards show little change from the original bias toward multiculturalism. Cosmetic changes include dropping the "s" from "the American peoples" and moving teaching examples (such as those on feminism from Ms. magazine) to a classroom supplement (but still part of the new Standards package). However, the original Standards are in the hands of 32,000 teachers.

Do you want to increase the visibility of your organization and events? Consider using street pole banners as a marketing tool to advertise your public event. For civic or historical organizations, using banners can be a great way to promote cultural assets, local business districts, history and a sense of place.
Street Use Permits are required to place banners on City Utility poles. This site provides you with the resources youll need to choose locations for your banners and to obtain the permits youll need from the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) Street Use Division.
There are two types of pole banners: Event Banners (permit 52 A) and Identification Banners (permit 52 B). Determine which type of banner best suits your needs.
Event Banners for Seattle-based events have priority installation over Event Banners for events taking place outside city limits.
For examples of other styles of Event and Identification banners, check out the Image Gallery.
All banners must:
Banners may not be used as an advertising medium for specific products and services.
Banner designs must be submitted to SDOT Street Use Division at least 2 weeks prior to the proposed installation date.
The standard banner size is 30 inches horizontal by 60 inches vertical. Applicants that would like to install banners outside of these dimensions must request an exception to the rules, from the SDOT Street Use Division, when submitting the permit application.
More detailed information about how the size of your banner installation is affected by the poles characteristics can be found at Banner Height and Installation Specifications.
Organizations or events may have relationships with commercial entities that they display on banners. Sponsorship and corporate logo recognition(s) within a banner design must be no greater than 20% of the overall banner area.
The font of the sponsorship shall not be larger than the font of the event name.
Effective banner designs:
See the Image Gallery for other examples of acceptable designs.
The production and installation of banners is the responsibility of the organization seeking to install the banner. There are companies available for hire who can help you through the permitting process as well as produce and install your banners. If you decide to do it yourself, you must have the proper insurance and permits to conduct the installation.
Traditionally our applicants have found that the production cost for banners varies according to the:
Poles in the Central Business District (CBD) have been pre-approved for banner installation. Poles in other areas need to fit certain guidelines and zoning requirements to be eligible. See completed pole map example.
The utility poles in the CBD, from Denny Street south to the Safeco Field Baseball Stadium and from Interstate 5 to the Puget Sound, have been reviewed for eligibility of banner installation. Poles eligible for installation are marked with PBA (Pole Banner Approved) decals. These decals, 3 inch round and fuchsia in color, are located on the street side of the pole, just under the street pole number (about 5 feet up from the ground). See example of a PBA pole in the photo to the right.
Poles in the CBD without the PBA sticker are not pre-approved and may not be used. An applicant may request the review of the poles eligibility if it does not have a PBA sticker and the pole conforms to the pole banner guidelines. Utility poles outside of the CBD are not marked with stickers, but may be allowed for use if they meet specific criteria.
Utility poles outside of the CBD are not marked with the pre-approved PBA decals. Due to this fact, applicants must take the first step in assessing a pole's eligibility and in creating a map of the poles they would like to use. City staff will then work with you to identify which poles are eligible for use.
Criteria for eligibility:
All poles should have:
No Metro poles or poles with Metro attachments without prior approval from Metro. Metro poles support electrical wires which power Metro's electric buses.
Applicant must obtain approval from Metro prior to obtaining the SDOT pole banner permit. Metro can be contacted at: Alex Wolak 206-684-1361
Your banner shall not adversely affect visibility of any downstream traffic signals or signs. Any preexisting artwork installed by the City at banner height will make the pole ineligible for banners.
Wood poles are eligible for use if they support street lights only (only one wire attached to pole). The brackets installed on these poles must be permanent and may not be taken down at the end of the banner installation.
For mounting on wood streetlight poles, lag bolts must be used. The lag bolts must be the same diameter or 1/16 - inch less than the bolt hole diameter and shall be stainless steel and be a minimum of 4 inches in length. Once installed on wood streetlight poles, the mounting hardware shall be left in place. The use of clamps or banding on wood poles is not permitted.
Banner Height and Installation Specifications
Pole height must accommodate banner installation parameters:
Banners that are attached on the curb side of a pole shall be a minimum of:
Banners shall maintain a minimum of 3 vertical clearance below any luminaries from where the ballasts connect to the poles.
Banners shall not be mounted less than 2 above an existing sign. Banners shall not interfere with the visibility of traffic signals or signs or identified historic or artistic installations.
Your completed application packet needs to include the following items:
Application requests may not be submitted more than 90 days prior to the proposed installation date. Complete applications may take 10 business days to review.
Resources for Funding Your Project
There are two resources available from the City for specific types of organizations seeking to fund a banner project:
Neighborhood organizations (e.g. community councils, community arts organizations, neighborhood business organizations), may seek funds from the Department of Neighborhoods (DON) Neighborhood Matching Fund. DON staff can provide feedback on if your project will meet their granting criteria.
Nonprofit business organizations like Business Improvement Areas may seek funds from the Office of Economic Development Neighborhood Business District Funding Awards by contacting OED at 684-8090.
Street Use permit fees are based on the current Street Use Permit Fee Schedule. See current rates at www.seattle.gov/transportation/stuse_permitlist.htm or at the Permit Services Counter.

McKeesport caps girls summer league season
A regular-season schedule of nine games each for 26 high school teams was just enough to keep the contenders sharp in the McKeesport Girls Basketball Summer League.
The intensity picked up in the playoffs. Norwin defeated WPIAL Class AAAA champion Penn-Trafford, 53-41, in the title game last week at McKeesport High School. It capped a seventh season under McKeesport coach Eric Smith, the league director.
"Eric does a great job with the summer league program," Norwin coach Brian Brozeski said. "We've always attended there. He runs a great league, and he accommodates everyone's needs. If there's a school picnic or a prom, he calls to make sure we can avoid any conflicts. He maximizes everyone's opportunities. The league is well-run, and we are very fortunate to have it in our backyard."
Teams from Butler, Pine-Richland, Latrobe and Burrell were among the large field that made up three varsity divisions. A schedule for junior varsity teams began last week.
"It's probably the biggest girls basketball league in Western Pennsylvania," Smith said. "They're coming from all over the place. Teams were traveling over an hour to play in our league because there's great teams there. We had hardly any teams that forfeited because they know the seriousness of it. They know if they get there, they're going to get some good looks from other teams."
Norwin finished first in Division A with a regular-season record of 9-0. Penn-Trafford and Bethel Park were 8-1 atop Division B, and Serra Catholic won Division C with a 7-2 mark.
"We were really fortunate to have everybody there," Brozeski said. "There's always so much going on at this time of year. It's difficult to assemble a full team a lot of times. But we went to the summer league with a focus of getting the team better. We were able to get some playing time for everybody. We rotated a lot of people into the lineup."
Norwin will return a total of 10 seniors and juniors, including forward Alayna Gribble, the McKeesport Daily News Player of the Year.

text: After opening the season with three straight losses, the Princeton Panthers had rebounded by going 6-2 in their next eight games, all in Eastern Minny League play. But the team now has another three-game losing streak after losing two games in the Bandit Bash, a tournament in Cambridge last weekend. The losing streak began with a 13-2 loss at home to league-leading Mora on Wednesday of last week. The Panthers lost 7-4 to Champlin Park in the tournament Saturday morning before losing 4-3 to the Bloomington Bandits on Sunday morning. A win in either of those games would have meant playing one more game in the tournament. "We just couldn't get hits at the right time," said manager Jules Zimmer about the Cambridge tournament. The Panthers, 6-8 for the season, 6-3 in the Eastern Minny games they have played, are off until next Wednesday when Mora is here for a 7:30 game. Mora The Blue Devils scored four runs in the third and three in the fourth off starter Josh Vickers and cruised to the 13-2 win. Vickers pitched four innings, Erik Ostmoe two innings and Josh Hanus three, Hanus striking out the side in the eighth inning. The Panthers didn't get much offense going against Mora starter Jeff Oslin, managing only five hits in seven innings. Princeton scored in the fifth inning with Ryan Carling getting the RBI single and scored in the eighth off a reliever on a single by Hanus. PRINCETON (2) AB R H RBI Norman,ss-2b 5 0 0 0 Carling,cf 5 0 2 1 Je Zimmer,dh 5 0 2 0 Vickers,p-ss 0 0 0 0 Beattie,rf 5 0 1 0 Ju Zimmer,pr 0 0 0 0 Ostmoe,2b-p 3 0 1 0 Solberg,ss 2 1 1 0 Bialucha,1b 1 0 0 0 Knoll,pr 0 0 0 0 Becklin,1b 1 0 0 0 Neubauer,c 3 0 1 0 Danna,lf 2 0 0 0 Goldsmith,lf 2 0 0 0 Hanus,3b-p 3 1 1 1 37 2 9 2 MORA 40 13 12 11 IP H R ER BB SO Vickers 4 6 7 6 4 1 Ostmoe 2 3 3 2 1 0 Hanus 3 2 3 3 5 4 Champlin Park Princeton scored four runs in the first inning but couldn't push across another run, although there were some chances. Carling, Jesse Zimmer and Tyler Bialucha all drove in runs in the inning as the Panthers batted 10 but left the bases loaded. Champlin Park came back with two in the bottom of the inning and the Logators got three more in the second for a 5-4 lead. Perhaps the most important play of the game came in the second inning when, with the bases loaded and two outs, Princeton starter Josh Ludwig picked a runner off first. The runner broke for second, a couple throws followed, and when the dust cleared, all runners had gotten back to their bases safely, even though the Panthers had a runner trapped between third and home. A two-run single followed to give the Logators a lead they never lost. A two-run homer with two outs in the fifth made it 7-4. The Panthers left nine runners on in the seven-inning game. Zimmer was thrown out on a close play while trying to score on a fly to right in the second. And then in the sixth a hit by Jerad Goldsmith, an error and a walk to Kyle Norman loaded the bases with no outs. But two strikeouts and an infield out followed. A glimmer of hope for the Panthers was Brandon Knoll pitching a scoreless inning of relief in the sixth after sitting out all of last year because an arm injury. Sam Solberg and Zimmer each had two hits for Princeton. Bloomington Vickers went the distance for Princeton and pitched well, manager Jules Zimmer said. He gave up 10 hits and struck out five. Bloomington led 3-0 in the fifth when the Panthers scored their first run on an error. The Panthers had a runner thrown out on the base paths in that inning, a harbinger of things to come. Bloomington added a run in the top of the seventh and it proved to be a big one. Carling's single scored Jordan Neubauer and Kyle Norman with one out in the bottom of the seventh to make it 4-3. Then, with two outs, Solberg singled for the fourth time in the game but Carling was thrown out at third by the right fielder. The Panthers had eight hits and left seven runners on base. (No box scores available for the tournament games.)

Mark Cochran, UA System Vice President for Agriculture, and Michael Vayda, Dean of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences, traveled to Panama on Aug. 3 to sign the memorandum of understanding with the Panamanian government. Oscar Osorio, Panama's Minister of Agriculture, signed on behalf of his government.
"With this agreement, we will exchange faculty and extension professionals for lectures, study tours and professional discussions," Cochran said. "We are looking for collaborative ways to strengthen their agricultural extension service and we will also exchange students for internships and summer work experiences." Cochran also noted that plans are to support the development of curriculum for a vocational-agriculture high school in Panama. This agreement is an opportunity to renew and re-energize relations between the university and the Republic of Panama that span 60 years. Dr. Paul Noland, emeritus faculty of Animal Science, was instrumental in the early efforts that established the relationship.
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli, who earned a bachelor's degree in business administration at the UA in 1973, praised the pact. "The idea is that they (Ministry of Agriculture professionals) receive better training, and that these specialists can, in turn, reproduce this knowledge among Panamanian producers," Martinelli commented. He added that the agreement will strengthen Panama's Extension and instructional institutions, particularly for staff and technicians who need support for agricultural programs.
The agreement will also result in participation in seminars and Extension meetings between university personnel Arkansas and Panama, an exchange of academic and extension materials and special short-term Extension and academic programs.
Sens. Mark Pryor and John Boozman and Rep. Rick Crawford of the Arkansas Congressional delegation all participated in the signing ceremony at the Presidential Palace. After the ceremony, President Martinelli hosted the Arkansas delegation for a formal lunch where issues of mutual benefit related to the exchange pact, the U.S.-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement and opportunities associated with the opening of the expanded Panama Canal were discussed. Also present at the signing ceremony and the Presidential lunch were Dan Hendrix and Herbert Morales of the Arkansas World Trade Center, who helped facilitate the trip.

You'd be hard pressed to find a player, coach, fan or media member that doesn't acknowledge Cam Newton's talent.
But talent has never been the issue with the Panthers quarterback. Carolina's decision to select Newton with the first-overall pick in the 2011 draft was controversial for psychological reasons.
While at the University of Florida in 2008, Newton stole a laptop and threw it out the window while being pursued by police. He was arrested for theft, and ultimately suspended from the football team. Three days prior to the Gators' national championship game against Oklahoma, Newton declared he was transferring to Blinn College.
While plenty of young athletes have overcome poor judgment and legal trouble, the decision to distance himself from his teammates – instead of support them in one of the biggest games in their lives – raised a red flag. Although he wasn't a serious individual contributor to the Urban Meyer's national champion Gators, Newton should have been there for his teammates.
Newton, however, saw his off-the-field issues and lack of contribution to the team's success as reasons to distance himself from the University of Florida. He could have waited until after the National Championship game to announce his transfer, but it was clear that individual plans took precedence over the best of interests of the team.
Flash forward four years, two national titles, one Heisman Trophy, one Rookie of the Year award and one Pro Bowl appearance; Newton is still being maligned for questionable leadership.
The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Atlanta native caught a lot of flak last season for his despondent sideline demeanor during times of struggle – particularly isolating himself from the rest of the team and draping a towel over his head. However, when he was playing well and things were clicking for the offense, Newton could be seen pacing the sidelines euphorically, communicating with teammates and flashing his million-dollar smile.
While the circumstances may have been different during his stint in Gainesville, his behavior with the Panthers – abandoning his team during an individual struggle – has essentially been the same.
Simply put, Newton has won with his team and lost as an individual. In several press conferences last season, he was quick to answer questions on how he can improve as a quarterback, but struggled to come up with an answer when asked how the entire offense can improve.
"I can't talk about this offense, I can only talk about myself," Newton told reporters following last season's loss to Seattle. "What I can say about myself is that I am not playing football. Call it what you call it- Cameron Newton did not play good football today."
The same question was asked following the loss against Dallas.
"I am going to bring a suggestion box, because I sure don't know," Newton said. "The only thing I control is myself."
At the end of the day, though, nobody can go back and change the past. The most important question is this: How can Newton learn from those mistakes and become a leader?
Leaders make their teammates better, and as the quarterback of an NFL football team, he needs to understand what he can do to accomplish just that. This not only includes recognizing his teammates' strengths and weaknesses, but also knowing how to help maximize those strengths through his performance.
If you listen to the league's elite quarterbacks at post-game press conferences, they often address the goals of the team first – whether or not it reflects their individual performance.
New Orleans Saints quarterback – and future Hall of Famer – Drew Brees was asked about the struggles of his offensive line following last season's loss to Kansas City.
"There's things we can do to help those guys. We aren't going to sit there and take seven-step drop after seven-step drop and make it to where they have to protect all day," he told the media.
"We have to get into third-and-short situations- we got to get into better situations for those guys, we have to find ways to move the football and wear a defense down defensively. We got one-dimensional at the end and it allowed the defense to tee off against us."
Rather than talking his individual performance, Brees addressed the goals of the offense as a whole, and how the whole unit can improve to make the offensive line's job easier.
A leader also acknowledges the opposition, accounts for their strategy and makes adjustments. Many of these attributes are acquired with maturation and experience.
Right now, though, the most important thing for Newton to do is learn to control his emotions. As the leader of the offense, his body language has an impact on teammates and coaches. Like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and all the game's great quarterbacks, Newton needs to learn how to channel those emotions in the right way.
It remains to be seen whether Cam Newton is capable of becoming a great leader. But right now, he is nothing more than a really talented player.

Major Approach
The combinatorial design of our polymer and engineering systems 1) enables control of each parameter without influencing the others ("Decoupling") and 2) creates an unlimited variation in the system properties, thereby controlling the properties in a "user-specified" manner. This design concept is applied to develop advanced therapeutic tools, including injury-responsive injectable cardiac patch for cell delivery, heart machinery for patient-specific stem cell differentiation, shape memory vascular patch, minimally-invasive vascular bypass grafting, nanoparticles for hemodynamic targeting, and nanoneedle/pore gradient arrays (See Research for details).
Research Goals
The research goal of the Sung LAB is to identify the underlying mechanisms by which cells and tissues interact with polymeric matrix from nano to organ scales and coordinate dynamic physicochemical/biological signals to change their microenvironments, and to apply this knowledge to develop the next generation of polymeric biomaterials for regenerative medicine and medical device technologies.

With reluctance, Netanyahu accepts Quartet proposals
The Israeli Cabinet this week accepted, with reservations, the Quartet's proposal for renewed negotiations with the Palestinians.
On Sunday, the Cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to accept the framework for negotiations proposed two weeks ago by the Quartet.
The proposal includes the resumption of talks between Israel and the Palestinians without pre-conditions. The timetable for the talks is to agree within three months on a basic solution of two states, on the basis of the pre-1967 borders, and the completion of a full peace plan within a year.
Mr Netanyahu agreed to the proposal despite his misgivings but is planning to voice reservations over the short timetable and the focus on "borders first" at the opening of the talks.
The Palestinian leadership has yet to deliver its final decision on the Quartet's proposal but senior officials have already said they will not agree to return to negotiations without an Israeli commitment to freezing all settlement building for the next three months.
Meanwhile, the Palestinians continue to pursue their campaign to gain recognition for an independent state from the UN Security Council.
This week they announced that they had succeeded in persuading Council members Nigeria and Gabon to support them. While this has not yet been confirmed by those governments, even if the Palestinians do gain a majority in the Security Council, the resolution is certain to be vetoed by the United States.
Currently, the Palestinian request is being examined by a UN technical committee which will assess whether the Palestinian Authority conforms to the requirements of establishing a new state.
The United States is putting further pressure on the Palestinians to drop their UN policy, including a freeze on $200 million of aid, imposed by Congress - about a third of American's annual aid to the PA.
Mr Netanyahu had more diplomatic trouble last week when the leader of one of Israel's most dependable allies, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, called him to lodge her protest over the government's approval of the building of 1,100 new homes in the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Gilo.
She told the prime minister that the decision was "a breach of trust which casts doubt on your willingness truthfully to strive for peace." He responded that Israel regarded Gilo as an integral part of Jerusalem and would continue building in the city.

Milwaukee hosts 24-hour urban bike race
In January, Jeremy Prach participated in the Baja 1000, an off-road, 48-hour motorcycle race through the dessert from Tijuana to Los Cabos, Mexico. The intense experience inspired him to recreate a smaller version of the race -- for bicycles instead of motorcycles -- in Milwaukee.
Prach, along with the help of multiple volunteers, launched the Riverwest 24-hour Bike Race or "RW24." The race takes place Friday, July 25 from 7 p.m. until Saturday, July 26 at 7 p.m.
The 5-mile course runs through the streets of Riverwest. Multiple blocks will host parties -- including Riverwest's first 24-hour block party on Fratney Street -- during the race to contribute to the celebratory atmosphere.
Participants can race in one of four categories: Solo, Tandem (two riders on one tandem bike for the entire race), Team A (up to six riders sharing one bike) or Team B (up to six riders, each riding their own bike.)
Multiple corporate teams are signed up, including ones from Fuel and Comet Cafe.
The person or group who completes the most laps determines the winner, who receives a trophy.
Participants are encouraged to stop biking to sleep or eat, and two meals are included during the event: dinner at the Riverwest Coop and breakfast at St. Mary's Czestochowa.
The cost is $15 per person to participate in the race. The entry fee covers the cost of food, water bottles, T-shirts and outdoor toilets which Prach paid upfront himself.
"I'm hoping to break even," he says.
Also, potential riders can download a charity form from the Web site and raise money on their own to donate after the race.
RW24 has very few rules. Prach stresses the need for riders to respect the neighborhood and the simultaneous block parties going on during the race. Also, he encourages rider to wear helmets and does not condone drinking during the race.
Humor is important to Prach, so every two hours, racers will have the chance to earn extra "bonus" points. For example, if a rider stops at the Heroine Salon in Brewer's Hill and shaves his or her head, his / her team gets an extra 10 laps. Also, Great Lakes Distillery will host a scavenger hunt and the winner receives extra points.
Prach credits friend Chris Fons with the original idea for the 24-hour bike race, and recognizes Paul Kjelland, Mike McGarry and Kelly Hillard as driving forces behind the event. Before he started planning the event, Prach received the go ahead from Ald. Nic Kovac, the Milwaukee Police Department and the mayor's office.
"This is totally legit," he says.
Prach, who sports a "Let me be humble" tattoo, says much of his inspiration to plan RW24 comes from his love for the neighborhood and his strong belief in community.
"We're taking back the night. These are our streets and we're not afraid to be out at night (in Riverwest)," says Prach. "And it's about knowing your neighbors, and being polite to them, and that reduces crime."
Prach is an MPS teacher, owns multiple properties in Riverwest and serves as the president of his block club. He is married to Kara and has two sons, Loyal, 5, and Merit, 7 months.
Prach is certain the event will become an annual event. "Next year, it's the RW25," he says.

This is fantastic. As a UWM researcher studying the Portland Bicycle Master Plan, and how it can be applied to Milwaukee, I am pleased. This is what Portland calls an "encouragement" event. One day Milwaukee will have the finest bicycle commuter infrastructure in the world. And it will be due to public citizens like Mr. Prach. Forward!

Just a heads up to all the "bikers" out there especially those with fixed gears. The police are cracking down and writing tickets like mad this summer....they dont belive that a fixed gear can stop properly without hand breaks, and anyone who rides one can tell you they can stop on a dime. Also, they are cracking down on obeying traffic signals but i am with that one....you want equal rights on the road? Then obey the signals and signs.

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) allow large and complex landforms to be rapidly surveyed at previously unattainable point densities. Many change detection methods have been employed to make use of these rich data sets, including cloud to mesh (C2M) comparisons and Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2). Rather than use simulated point cloud data, we utilized a 58 scan TLS survey data set of the Selawik retrogressive thaw slump (RTS) to compare C2M and M3C2. The Selawik RTS is a rapidly evolving permafrost degradation feature in northwest Alaska that presents challenging survey conditions and a unique opportunity to compare change detection methods in a difficult surveying environment. Additionally, this study considers several error analysis techniques, investigates the spatial variability of topographic change across the feature and explores visualization techniques that enable the analysis of this spatiotemporal data set. C2M reports a higher magnitude of topographic change over short periods of time (∼12 h) and reports a lower magnitude of topographic change over long periods of time (∼four weeks) when compared to M3C2. We found that M3C2 provides a better accounting of the sources of uncertainty in TLS change detection than C2M, because it considers the uncertainty due to surface roughness and scan registration. We also found that localized areas of the RTS do not always approximate the overall retreat of the feature and show considerable spatial variability during inclement weather; however, when averaged together, the spatial subsets approximate the retreat of the entire feature. New data visualization techniques are explored to leverage temporally and spatially continuous data sets. Spatially binning the data into vertical strips along the headwall reduced the spatial complexity of the data and revealed spatiotemporal patterns of change.
In the last decade, techniques to rapidly acquire high density topographic data have proliferated; however, the tools to adequately analyze change within these complex data sets have only begun to emerge. Topographic change detection has evolved from techniques that relied on visual comparisons (e.g., Webb
Both ALS and TLS instrumentation support the filtering of laser returns to remove vegetation via waveform or multiple discrete return processing. All returns can be classified by height or physical geometric parameters, which is useful both for isolating points and identifying topographic form and change (e.g., Lane
Change detection analyses using TLS data are difficult because of (1) the complexity and richness of the point clouds representing the natural environment and (2) because TLS point clouds from different temporal epochs or physical scan positions may not overlap closely enough for accurate point to point comparison. Additionally, the software packages used to acquire, process and analyze TLS data are often optimized for the built environment and lack analytical tools relevant to natural landscapes. Many solutions have been proposed to account for these shortcomings, such as gridding point clouds into DEMs. Gridded data sets can be compared to produce a DEM of difference (DoD), which highlights areas of loss or accumulation [
Cloud to cloud methods have also been used to directly compare point clouds (e.g., Girardeau-Montaut

Detecting topographic change in diverse natural environments is a persistent problem for earth scientists that has increased in complexity as new survey methods enable the rapid acquisition of complex topographic data. The magnitude of this problem increases further at sites where it is difficult to maintain georeferencing control. Previous work to compare the C2M and M3C2 techniques have relied on simulated point clouds to test differences in the methods [

RTS are found throughout the Arctic in a variety of environments, such as coastlines, river banks and lake shores [
Although RTS features can be quite large, the individual processes that drive their growth are small. As the vertical RTS headwall thaws, material is destabilized and fails. Failures are usually water-rich from a combination of active layer surface overflow and the melt of interstitial ice within the headwall. In localized areas of the headwall, material may dry as ice melts and water leaves. The dry material then crumbles. Failures are typically
RTS are difficult to survey for a variety of reasons. (1) Tundra surface properties (dynamic frost table, extensive soft ground cover, absence of stable ground) destabilize reflective TLS target tripods used for georeferencing control; (2) shifting tripods require frequent TLS target resurveys to minimize georeferencing error; (3) remote Arctic locations require GPS baselines on the order of 225 km to process position solutions, which increases position uncertainty; and (4) inclement weather and the wet surfaces on RTS features can cause poor and/or spatially discontinuous TLS returns, which lowers confidence in the displacements calculated between point clouds. These factors, combined with a rapidly evolving feature, make the Selawik RTS an ideal natural laboratory to explore the limits of TLS change detection in an environment with a high degree of survey uncertainty.
Our study deals exclusively with topographic change detection and error analysis using a 58 scan repeat TLS data set of the Selawik RTS headwall in northwest Alaska (
We used a Riegl VZ-400 TLS to collect point clouds of the south-facing Selawik RTS headwall at a range of 200–250 m over two weeks during the summer of 2011 and four weeks during the summer of 2012. Scan point spacing in 2011 and 2012 was 0.05 m and 0.045 m at a range of 200 m, respectively. Scans of the RTS headwall occurred at 9:00 and 21:00 to capture nighttime and daytime change, respectively. We used the same scan position in 2011 and 2012 for all data collection to minimize differences in topographic shading between the two data sets (triangle in
TLS scans were georeferenced (
For each field campaign, we located the GPS base station using averaged position solutions from OPUS [

We used I-Site Studio's Spherical Triangulation tool with a MATEL of 0.25 m and fixed vantage and look points to mesh processed point clouds (
The error associated with C2M was also assessed using a single vertical subset of the RTS headwall that only experiences retreat (yellow box in
A MATLAB script was used to uniformly change measurements in the CbD output that were less in magnitude than the additive RMS error (
The processed point clouds (
In conjunction with their change detection algorithm, Lague
A MATLAB script was used to change M3C2 distance calculations marked as insignificant to zero, because they fall below the SVCI for that point (
Using the methods described above, we are able to consistently detect surface changes down to 2–7 cm, depending on the error analysis technique used and whether surface roughness is used to calculate the change detection threshold (
The RTS headwall retreat rate time series derived via M3C2 and C2M are similar in form; however, there are times when the data sets differ significantly. In this portion of the discussion, different portions of the time series in
This knowledge gap could be addressed by building a irregular surface that resembles the RTS headwall surface on a track in a laboratory setting and moving it progressively away from a TLS scanner in known increments. This would simulate a more natural surface, while also removing the uncertainty due to georeferencing. Unfortunately, because of the difficulty in maintaining geodetic control in a permafrost dominated environment, this type of experiment could not be undertaken at this field site, and the RTS headwall could not be physically measured to obtain an actual retreat rate, as it is very difficult and dangerous to access.
The difference between the two data sets likely stems from how the techniques apply their respective change detection thresholds (
To investigate which change detection method most accurately approximates the cumulative observed change of the headwall, topographic change analyses were conducted for both the C2M and M3C2 techniques using the first and last measurement epochs from the 2012 field season (C1 and C40). The 2012 data set was used, because it spans a longer record of incremental change than the 2011 data set. The results from this analysis were treated the same as the incremental change analyses used above and are compared to the mean summed retreat of the incremental change analyses above. The summed incremental change for C2M and M3C2 is −1.546 m and −1.003 m, respectively, and the total change for C2M and M3C2 is −1.338 m and −1.629 m, respectively. We expected that both the C2M and M3C2 summed incremental change would be smaller than the the total change between the first and last measurement epochs, because insignificant measurements were removed throughout the incremental analyses. However, this is not the case with the C2M method, because the cumulative measurement path summed across all incremental epochs is longer than the measurement path when only the first and last epochs are considered. It is likely that this problem is present in the M3C2 analyses; however, because the path direction at each increment is specified by the local surface orientation of C
The difference in summed incremental change between the C2M and M3C2 techniques is due to how each method handles insignificant change. The M3C2 method is inherently more conservative than the C2M algorithm (see above and Section 2.3.1), which causes more displacement measurements to be converted to zeros (
The difference between C2M incremental and total change values are less than the differences between M3C2 incremental and total change values (discrepancies of 0.208 m and 0.626 m, respectively). However, because the C2M technique does not take the local surface orientation of C
The transparency of the calculations behind the M3C2 algorithm and its ability to calculate a true horizontal retreat rate, by fixing local surface orientation normals to horizontal, make it a well-suited analytical tool to rapidly calculate incremental differences between successive TLS surveys. Additionally, the SVCI used by the M3C2 algorithm takes both the registration uncertainty of C
The authors have found that M3C2 is the most nuanced treatment of TLS point cloud uncertainties for topographic change detection available, because it calculates displacements along local surface orientations and takes into account the most sources of uncertainty when calculating topographic change and the certainty of that change. Conversely, C2M does not provide as nuanced an approach to statistically significant topographic change detection, because it is biased towards calculating displacements between closest points, utilizes only a blanket level of detection based only on systematic errors and ignores local effects, such as local and apparent roughness, on detecting significant topographic change. Furthermore, C2M requires surface models to be created for those data being analyzed, which requires additional processing and interpolation, which makes assumptions about a surface where there are no data. For these reasons, we only discuss the M3C2 results for the remainder of this section. However, it should be noted that implementing a C2M spatially variable error analysis technique similar to the SVCI in M3C2 would not be difficult and has the potential to greatly improve C2M.
The retreat rate of the Selawik RTS derived from the M3C2 analysis results is both spatially (
Spatial subsets of a complex data set can be created by spatially averaging the data created from either the C2M or M3C2 point cloud comparison techniques. For this study, this type of simplification is defined as spatial binning (
The spatial variability of RTS headwall retreat (
This study presents a comparison of two point cloud change detection techniques, cloud to mesh (C2M) and Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2) [
Two-to-seven centimeter topographic changes can be resolved under challenging survey conditions; however, daily resurveying of TLS georeferencing targets and two-sigma change detection thresholds were needed to reach this level of precision. We found M3C2 to be the most robust point cloud analysis method available, because it integrates a spatially variable confidence interval (SVCI) as a change detection threshold with displacement calculation. Furthermore, M3C2 can calculate true horizontal displacements, which allow the extraction of horizontal erosion rates from point cloud comparisons. Conversely, C2M uses a blanket change detection threshold and cannot calculate true horizontal displacements. A comparison of first and last measurement epochs using both methods illustrates that C2M reports a higher magnitude of topographic change over short periods of time (∼12 h) and reports a lower magnitude of topographic change over long periods of time (∼four weeks) when compared to M3C2. The SVCI used with M3C2 may classify too many displacements as insignificant, due to the uncertainty caused by surface roughness and scan registration; however, because we lacked true measurements of RTS headwall retreat, we were unable to evaluate this.
The spatial variability of the Selawik RTS headwall retreat changes through time, as some measurement epochs show more spatial variability of retreat than others. However, when averaged together, localized measurements of headwall retreat approximate the average retreat rate of the entire headwall, which suggests that low point density laser profilers could be used to monitor the retreat of RTS type landforms. This study also employed a spatial binning technique to visualize both temporal and spatial changes in the RTS headwall retreat rate. Visualizing data in this way leads to insights, such as a possible aspect and insolation control on headwall retreat (
Although we employed a spatially variable change detection threshold in this study, the systematic errors associated with a TLS data set of this temporal length also vary in time. Future studies of this kind could employ temporally variable additive RMS estimates, which could provide a more nuanced error analysis treatment than done in this study. This would likely decrease the overall error observed in the change detection analyses and would limit the error introduced by uncertain measurement epochs to measurements before and after the uncertain epoch. Furthermore, the time between measurement epochs could be increased to reduce the noise to displacement ratio for each measurement epoch. Now that automated point cloud classification and analysis algorithms are available, as well as TLS instruments with greater laser pulse energy and sensor sensitivity, higher density point clouds could be generated from RTS features, and the benefits of spatially averaging points could be used to reduce noise in the point cloud data set. Additional work to better understand how adverse atmospheric conditions affect point cloud precision, as well as how heterogeneous and wet surfaces contribute to noise on natural surfaces represented by point clouds could also contribute to our knowledge of the unconstrained sources of uncertainty mentioned in this work.

Yanks 7, Blue Jays 4
Posted By Alex Belth On July 28, 2004 @ 8:24 am In Bronx Banter | Comments Disabled
El Duque [1] pitched two scoreless innings in Toronto last night before he left the game with tightness in his left hamstring [2]. So much for giving the bullpen a breather. While the New York hit the ball hard off of Ted Lilly [3], they only mustered three hits off the erstwhile Yankee (including a solo home run by Alex Rodriguez on his 29th birthday). The Jays collected plenty of hits but could not manage to break the game open. Gary Sheffield [4] threw Alex Rios out at the plate in the sixth with the Jays leading 2-1, and Toronto could not score in the seventh after starting the inning with runners on the corner and nobody out.
The Yanks finally caught up to the Jays [5] in the eighth. Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter singled. Sheffield walked, and Alex Rodriguez hit a sacrific fly to right which tied the game. Jorge Posada followed with a three-run bomb to right field. In the ninth, Bernie Williams and Gary Sheffield hit solo homers. It was the 400th home run [6] of Sheffield's career.
Tom Gordon allowed a couple of runs in the ninth, but the Yankees held on for the win. New York is eight games ahead of the Red Sox [7], who were rained out in Baltimore last night.
