"Were proud to showcase the innovation of our Freeform customers and demonstrate how they are using our systems to produce transformational implants and prosthetics for patients."
Also at the conference, speakers from US military medical institutions will cite custom implants and prostheses created using Sensable Freeform, during a session on advances in the use of digital techniques for treating wounded soldiers.
Maxillofacial medicine treats anomalies of the face, skull and jaws, both congenital and acquired, through surgery and custom-made implants and appliances. Prosthetists – specialists in designing and fitting restorations – are going digital, and rely on Freeform as their go-to tool for the prosthetics-making process.
"FreeForm allows us to help surgeons rebuild faces -- and lives," said Nancy Hairston, president of MedCAD, a Dallas based custom medical device manufacturer whose custom surgical splints for a complex mandible/maxilla realignment were made on a 3D printer in biocompatible material and are on display at the show. "In the past, custom implants and guides cost a lot more than off the shelf parts. Today, with digital solutions like Freeform, we can create customized parts for the same cost, save time, and with even greater accuracy."
"With FreeForm, our team can create our ClearShield craniofacial implants at least 50 percent faster , moving from an STL file created from a patient-specific CT scan, through to completed design a 3D model in as little as a week," said Cynthia Brogan, CEO of Osteosymbionics, whose naturally shaped implants correct cranial defects.
In addition to the above cases, other custom prosthetics and surgical guides designed in Freeform and showcased at the AAMP conference include:
- Custom dental guides for complex implant surgeries from ProPrecision Guides of Gainesville FL.
- 3D study model of an aneurism to help a surgeon better locate and analyze a treatment plan than by using 2D radiology images alone, from service bureau Protowerx of Langley, British Columbia.
- An obturator from City University of New York (CUNY), and other complex dental appliances provided to treat congenital deformities or for cancer patients when large sections of their palates must be removed, restoring basic human functions such as speaking, breathing and eating.
As a design solution optimized for organically-shaped products, Freeform saves hours, even days, when designing human forms. Its design-for-manufacturability features allow service bureaus to streamline the process of delivering a completed implant or appliance, as well as custom tools and guides which can aid in surgery, using the latest additive manufacturing techniques and biocompatible materials.
"Precise dental implant placement is paramount to stability, comfort and life expectancies. With Freeform, I can design a typical surgical guide in 15 minutes, instead of 45 minutes. The resulting surgical guide is a perfect fit, and with direct manufacturing, we also avoid the heat, fumes, dust and debris involved when manually forming acrylic guides and grinding them to fit, as well as numerous intermediary steps," said John Pellerito, principal of ProPrecision Guides.
"Freeform is the one solution I cant live without in my toolbox," said Shawn Cherewick, owner of Protowerx. "The product has made it possible for us to take notoriously 'noisy CT scan files, and manipulate their organic shapes so that even jagged and protruding edges of the aneurism – shapes that traditional CAD would choke on - could be produced as models effectively and efficiently like never before."
Freeform Enables Maxillofacial Implant Designers to:
- Easily mirror intact anatomy from one side of the body to the other damaged side, to create perfect symmetry
- Split anatomical files at precisely the right location – both standard and non-standard
- Intuitively control the position of anatomy and implants
- Match jagged or irregular edges – for example, a skull patch for a wounded soldier – at least 5 times faster than traditional CAD
- Prep models for rapid manufacturing and tooling quickly and accurately
- Readily drive new biocompatible materials and additive
manufacturing processes, including
- Trabecular metal that supports bone in-growth;
- 3D printing in a host of new biocompatible resins including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
- Milling and traditional casting, in titanium or PEEK
- Streamline digital workflows
- Scan, then design complex solid models such as in medical applications.
- Easily and quickly explore designs and produce study models
- Readily create manufacturable files, for example testing insertion directions and draft
"Were witnessing a revolution in patient-specific manufacturing today, where implants are being designed and produced faster, more accurately and in new materials that provide enormous benefits to patients," said Joan Lockhart, vice president of marketing, at Sensable. "Were proud to showcase the innovation of our Freeform customers and demonstrate how they are using our systems to produce transformational implants and prosthetics for patients."

Officer George Cortez was shot and killed after responding to a check-cashing store to investigate reports of a forgery-in-progress.
At approximately 5:30 pm, Officer Cortez responded to a call that a man and woman were passing forged checks at a check-cashing business on 83rd Avenue, near Encanto Boulevard. Officer Cortez entered the business and was placing the male suspect in handcuffs when the man drew a stolen Glock .40 and shot Officer Cortez twice in the head and once in the shoulder.
Officer Cortez was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital where he died from his injuries.
The suspects fled the scene, but were apprehended the next day. They were charged with capital first-degree murder, burglary and forgery. The male subject was convicted of murder and was sentenced to death on October 19, 2010.
Officer Cortez had served with the Phoenix Police Department for two years and as a detention officer with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department for two years. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and parents.

If you don't want to lose your luggage, don't fly during the holdiays.
A study by NerdWallet found regional carriers like ExpressJet, Mesa and SkyWest have a much greater chance of losing bags in December and January than they do the rest of the year.
During the month of January, mishandled lugage rates were 29-to-43 percent higher than the annual average between 2008 and 2011. During the month of December, mishandled rates were 30-to-35 percent higher than the annual average between 2008 and 2010 — though last year did bring slight improvements.
The regional airline with the fewest reported cases of mishandled luggage was AirTran. The regional airline with the highest reported cases was American Eagle. "In contrast, legacy airlines — like American, Delta, United, and US Airways — mishandle fewer bags than the industry average, particularly in more recent years," NerdWallet said.
NerdWallet found that "travelers are less likely to lose their luggage during Thanksgiving." Something to be thankful for.
The prospect of losing baggage is on the mind of business travelers, The Los Angeles Times reports: "Now a new study by CWT Solutions Group, a travel management consultant, identifies those things that cause the most stress to travelers and possibly lead to health problems."
On a scale of zero to 100, with 100 being the most stressful, the top concern was "Lost or delayed luggage (79)."
The study also said lost luggage bugs women more than men.
Vicky Karantzavelou at Travel Daily News said losing clothes isn't the big problem: "Being without clothing, essential personal items and accessories is inconvenient and stressful enough, but losing electronically stored photographs and entire music collections can be a major set-back at the beginning or end of a holiday."
George Hobica at FoxNews says the Department of Transportation "does require airlines to reimburse passengers for reasonable expenses to replace essential items even when a bag is merely delayed."
Sometimes bags never get home.
The owner just may never pick it up or report it missing. Bloomberg/Businessweek explains what happens: "According to a recent Air Transport Industry Baggage Report, 25 million pieces of luggage were lost just last year, or approximately 70,684 bags every day. If those bags aren't claimed by their rightful owners within 90 days, they're either disposed of or sold to the Unclaimed Baggage Center, which buys boxes of luggage by the pound, sight unseen."
The Unclaimed Baggage Center is a store in Scottsboro, Ala. Its slogan is "You'll never know what you'll find!"
One way to avoid airlines losing bags is to ship them, according to George Hobica at the Huffington Post.Comment on this story
"Why are you still paying the airlines to ship your bags when FedEx Ground and other shippers will usually do it for less and with fewer hassles?" Hobica asks. "Airline baggage fees keep on going up, and while fewer bags are being lost (mainly because more people carry on these days), bags still get damaged, lost, stolen and delayed. Not only will it often cost less, but there are other advantages."
Some of those advantages would be tracking, no waiting in lines, less theft, better insurance and better reliability, Hobica says.
And, depending on the weight, Hobica says it could be cheaper as well. It does, however, take more time to send luggage by 5-day ground with FedEx, so you have to send it ahead of the flight.
Or you can just stay home.

I am almost ready to make my debut...im at 92-95 on the stalker. I just have to make one call to get a looksy....target date is July 4th-...
Thanks- I appreciate it. Ever since Hamilton made his comeback I have been fired up. I moved from Raleigh, NC to Sarasota, FL and the Reds complex is 10 minutes from my house. Seems like a good starting place for me. We'll see....
Reminds me a little of "The Rookie"
the one with Dennis Quaid, not Gary Busey
Witty signature.
It sure does get old, doesn't it? I wonder why teams with comparable or less payrolls have so much more success than the Reds do. Look at Minnesota, Milwaukee, Arizona and Florida (two WS in their short cheap payroll history). For some reason we continue to sign the wrong people over and over. The bullpen is a complete disaster, our sluggers can't hit with runners in scoring position to save their lives and our lame a** manager is scared to use a take sign for hitters to stupid not to swing at balls at their feet. Did you see those two balls Ross swung at??? Looks like he was playing golf.
I certianly do not blame Aaron Harrang. Our starters are not going to have perfect pitching every time out and when your damned bullpen can't go two innings without giving up 4 runs you are not going to win any games. At this pace in two weeks we can forget playing for any post season hopes. It is just ridiculous and the biggest problem is we have is that there is no one at AAA who is ready to come up and pitch relief. I admit Salmon has not done bad, but give our BP time to rub off on him. Maybe we should not have got rid of Dustin Hermanson, heck he did not do anything the rest of the BP has not done. For the record the BP has lost 8 of our 17 losses. We should be at 16-14 right now at least.

"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
Why should posters "be allowed to vent"? How is venting necessarily bringing anything to the table?
The bullpen was a problem last year, is this year, and will be in the future if they dont do something major about it. Its like an old car that keeps braking down that you keep throwing minor work into so hopefully it runs for a little longer. They basically have 3 maybe 4 players who should be in this pen and the rest should be shipped out. I players I think are ok are Countlangus, Santos, Saarloos, and Coffey. However out of those 4 relievers no one is anything more than a 6 or 7th inning pitcher right now. Brantly mentioned that Coffey has the stuff to be dominant pitcher in the league but he only throws one pitch. I watched his inning and he couldn't locate another pitch besides his fastball.
Last year I thought they should have done an overhaul of the pen and bring a lot of younger guys up. It would have helped out tremendously this year had those rookies had a 1/2 season of experience under their belt. I think tis time to do that this year. I have seen enough of the Weathers, Stanton combination blow games this year to say I dont want to see them out there anymore. I dont want a starter who presses to much because he doesn't trust the bullpen. Wayne its about time to bite the bullet and start with a new, younger pen.
They seem to be letting them out earlier and earlier each year.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I guess I've seen too many people around here make statements like "I can't take it anymore". If being a Reds fan produces so much emotional strain in your life, there are alternatives out there. I don't like to see the Reds lose as much as anyone out there. But it's still just a game and I'm still going to find enjoyment in a 60-win ballclub. I'm going to find enjoyment in watching college baseball, little league or even intramural softball.
Ohio winters are too long to spend the season griping about the Reds. It doesn't mean you can't criticize. Shoot, this would be a boring place if all we did was praise, even in losing efforts. But please try to find some joy in the fact that baseball is being played. November will be here before we know it and we will all be longing for spring training to begin again.

What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
I have to agree with a lot of what he said though. We have witnessed more than a handful of stupid plays that have cost the reds games this year. Whether it is from poor discipline, mental breakdowns or, just unlucky timing is an arguable matter. However, it is an incredibly long season and we have potential to string 8+ games in a row. There are reasons for hope (it's still spring where hope is eternal...)
All we need is for dunn to be traded for his perceived trade value of the prophet mohammed. Hamilton to imitate Barry Bond's 2004 season. Griffey Jr to become the player he was at the age of 26 and for the bullpen to be rejuvinated by the re-emergence of the Dwight Gooden (playing with the same tenacity as his cocaine days of his early years of course) and for Lohse to drop his ERA slightly below 1.00. Go back in time and keep Trevor Hoffman instead of Chris Sabo and while we're time travelling trade Frank Robinson for the rights to the yet unborn Alex Rodriguez and Johan Santana while working in some sort of cash considerations that we invested into Microsoft as it was slowly emerging as the first mainstream producer of the Graphic User Interface. And if you really want to win we could probably install a net that could be raised above the outfield wall that will only be raised during the visitor's at-bats which result in every would-be HR struck off there bats to only be considered a foul ball...
Then we might have a chance
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
I don't care how many do it. Venting for the sake of venting is less than optimal, and there is certainly no "right" to it.
An no, before someone says it, I'm not saying don't critisize, or that everything is perfect. There's a universe of difference between constructive debate and dissagreement with a player/manager/FO/owner/RZ Poster and the type of emotional hemmorage I'm talking about.
a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude.
I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate

Ames IA (SPX) Apr 12, 2007
ConocoPhillips will establish an eight-year, $22.5 million research program at Iowa State University dedicated to developing technologies that produce biorenewable fuels. The grant is part of ConocoPhillips' plan to create joint research programs with major universities to produce viable solutions to diversify America's energy sources.
ConocoPhillips will make an initial $1.5 million grant in 2007 to support Iowa State researchers, with additional grants of $3 million per year for seven years.
Biorenewable fuels are produced from organic materials and help reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while diversifying the energy supply. Conventional biorenewable fuels include ethanol from corn starch and biodiesel from soybean oil. Advanced biofuels are expected to be made from fibrous biomass such as the stalks and leaves from corn plants and switchgrass.
"I'm pleased Iowa State University and ConocoPhillips will partner to research and develop new technologies for producing biofuels," said Iowa Gov. Chet Culver. "These kind of public-private partnerships are an important part of my plan to fuel Iowa's future. Private sector investments will be the driving force behind the development of new industries and technologies, and I'm encouraged that Iowa State and ConocoPhillips are working together to create the right research programs for our state's energy future."
"We believe the key to a secure energy future is the efficient and effective use of a diverse mix of energy sources," said Jim Mulva, chairman and chief executive officer of ConocoPhillips. "ConocoPhillips is developing long-term relationships with respected academic institutions such as Iowa State to research extensions of traditional energy sources that ultimately will benefit consumers."
"We are excited to work with ConocoPhillips to develop a research program that applies Iowa State University's strengths in renewable energy," said Iowa State President Gregory Geoffroy. "The emerging consensus is that a very big part of increasing the nation's energy security will be producing fuels from plants. Iowa State scientists and engineers are well positioned to put science to work advancing biofuels technologies."
Robert C. Brown, the Iowa Farm Bureau Director of Iowa State's Office of Biorenewables Programs, said ConocoPhillips is especially interested in converting biomass to fuel through fast pyrolysis, a process that uses heat in the absence of oxygen to decompose biomass into a liquid product. This so-called bio-oil can be used as a heating oil or can be converted into transportation fuel at petroleum refineries.
Brown said ConocoPhillips also will sponsor studies of other thermochemical technologies that produce biofuels.
ConocoPhillips will fund research to understand and support environmental sustainability and rural economies. Studies will emphasize crop improvement and production, the harvesting and transportation of biomass and the impacts of biofuels on economic policy and rural sociology.
According to Brown, the details of specific projects have yet to be determined. He estimates the research program will involve 10 faculty members plus graduate students in the first year with additional researchers added in subsequent years. He noted that ConocoPhillips turned to Iowa State as a research partner, in part, because of Iowa State's expertise in a wide range of biorenewable technologies.
Iowa State's Office of Biorenewables Programs includes 145 faculty members with ties to 18 academic departments and 19 research centers and institutes across campus. Those researchers have attracted more than $57 million in sponsored research funding since 2002. The ConocoPhillips research program will add to that total.
"Iowa State University, with its central location in the agricultural belt and rich traditions of research and service, is uniquely positioned to set the standard for biorenewables research, education and technology transfer," Geoffroy said. "Contributing to the development of the bioeconomy is directly in line with our mission: 'Create, share and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place.'"

wikiHow to Cook Deep Fried Beer
Two Methods:Golden syrup methodPretzel dough methodCommunity Q&A
Deep fried beer is a delicious treat, perfect as a sweet pudding or even a snack. How could it get any better than combining beer with deep-fried dough? This article contains two distinct methods for making deep fried beer; now you have an excuse to fry beer at least twice to work out which way you enjoy most!
Golden syrup method:
- 1 average sized can of beer
- 6 tablespoons of golden syrup (see "Tips" for substitutes and finding it)
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- 1 pinch of salt
Pretzel dough method:
Golden syrup method
This method fries the beer into a sticky, soft texture.
1In a mixing bowl, mix the beer, golden syrup and salt until thin and smooth.
2Turn on the hob to a blue flame (gas) or to a high temperature on an electric stovetop.
3Add the butter to a wok. Pour the beer, golden syrup, and salt mixture into the buttery wok.
4Place the wok and its contents onto the flame.
5Every 5 - 8 seconds, fold the mixture back into itself.
6Once the mixture is crispy and just slightly sticky, and smells strongly of sweet beer, take it off the heat.
7Turn the hob off and leave the deep fried beer to cool. When cooled enough, serve. Enjoy your sweet, deep fried beer!
Pretzel dough method
This method encases the beer within a little dough pocket shaped like a ravioli. The beer will remain liquid within the dough pocket.
1Make the pretzel dough. Place the yeast, water, and sugar into a mixing bowl and gently combine until all elements are dissolved.
- Beat in 1 cup of the flour. Leave this to stand until it turns frothy.
- Once frothy, add the salt, butter, and the remaining flour.
- Knead the dough in the bowl to distribute the butter completely.
2Roll out the dough into thin sheets.
- Beat the eggs well.
- Use the egg mixture to brush the rolled-out sheets.
- Using the ravioli cutter, press ravioli shapes out of the dough.
3Form pockets for insertion of the beer. Pair up the ravioli-cut shapes. Press them together on three sides to form a pocket. The egg-washed sides should be facing outward.
- Use your thumb to hold the pockets open as you're pressing the sides together.
4Fill the pockets with beer. Find a suitable way to prop up the pockets so that the open end is facing upward ready to receive the beer. Lean them against the side of a baking dish, a bowl, a cup, or similar item that you have handy. Carefully pour beer into each of the dough pockets.
- Press each pocket closed to seal in the beer.
5Fry the beer pockets. Heat the oil in a pan until it reaches 325ºF/162.7ºC on the thermometer.
- Add the beer pockets in small batches and fry quickly. They will cook in about 20 seconds.
6Remove the fried beer from the hot oil using a slotted spoon or a fork. Place the fried beer pieces onto a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
7Serve. Allow the deep fried beer to cool for a few minutes. Once ready, pop a shot of fried beer!
Community Q&A
What about using applesauce instead of the syrup? Heard that this might be quite tasty, too. Any suggestion on how long to took and so on?
- Golden syrup is traditionally used in British cooking and can be found in many of the Commonwealth countries such as England, Scotland, Canada, Australian, New Zealand, and South Africa as a result. In the USA, it is harder to find but it can be sourced through specialty grocery stores and stores dealing in gourmet foods. If you can't source it, substitute it with maple syrup, glucose syrup, honey, or similar sweet syrups.
- Add some cayenne pepper and a little vinegar, and use glucose syrup instead of golden syrup for a slightly bitterer, more beery experience.
- Deep fried beer is delicious shredded over rum and raisin ice cream.
- Did you know? The deep-fried beer in pretzel dough method was invented by Mark Zable of Texas.[1] You can often try this treat at American State Fairs now!
- Most alcohol evaporates upon cooking and at such a high temperature as deep frying creates, it's not likely to cause anyone to become drunk if they eat it, as most of the ethanol will have been fried off.[2] However, it's a personal decision whether or not you feed this dish to children (unless it has been regulated - check your local laws) and as the second method of beer inside dough can remain quite hot, it's not recommended for children.
Things You'll Need

Photographer's Note
Hiking up from Beckenried, a mere 30min train ride from Lucerne, one reaches the Klewenalp at 1600m above sea level. From up there one can enjoy a grandiose view over the lake Lucerne with the queen on mountains The Rigi just across on the opposite shore. In summer a great number of hiking trails from family friendly and wheelchair suitable ones to high alpine trails, there is something for everybody. In the winter, the station is a well known ski resort, very popular with families as the slopes are rather easy.

Hello Daniel!
Wonderful lake and surroundings!
Back in 2005, I took a boat ride over there, from Lucerne and back! It was wintertime, it was cold, but I had a great time, specially for all the beauty around!
Very beautiful picture!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, horizontal format, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congrats,

Hi Daniel
This is a dizzying view, and in a great way, we can see so far in this! The color of the lake is fantastic, and I love the clouds beginning to creep over the horizon, like a big fluffy blanket on a blue bed. Looking at the little dots that are boats down there gives an idea of how huge this is, and how much detail you captured here. Really nicely done.

Hi Daniel,
this is a spectacular view! I like very much the pointy trees in the foreground adding asymmetric touch. Very pleasant natural colors. Incredible sharpness and clarity.
It is nice to hear that there are also some family friendly trails there. I started recently to worry that having 2 year old daughter I won't be able to hike for a very long time... Although I did hike recently a mountain in the UK but obviously they are more like hills.
Excellent work,

Bravo et amitié

Cory Lake Isles residents see a community in decline and sue to find out where the money went.
By DONG-PHUONG NGUYEN, Times Staff Writer
Published December 9, 2007
NEW TAMPA - Each lot in the exclusive gated and guarded Cory Lake Isles community features a $3,000 Canary Island date palm in its front yard. Houses are nestled along a 10-mile shoreline of Tampa's largest lake. The roads are paved with 14-million red bricks. People have likened it to living in paradise.
So why are some residents so unhappy?
Look beyond the lush, tropical landscaping leading up to the front gates and you will see that Cory Lake Isles has secrets. Dirty little secrets. They come in the form of broken curbs, cement spills and bulging bricks. Moldy playground equipment, dead palm trees and weedy sidewalks.
And perhaps it's biggest secret: how the residents' money is being spent.
A lawsuit brought on by eight residents to unveil Cory Lake Isle's financial records has brought out problems plaguing this community. Homeowners want to know how $4.5-million in operation and maintenance fees they've paid over the past five years has been spent. They want to know who's doing the work and how much it's costing. And they also want things like litter behind the tennis courts picked up.
As part of their battle, they've captured the ugly side of their community on camera. They've posted these images on a Web site created exclusively for those Cory Lake Isles residents banding together for change.
They contend their community does not reflect the amount of money they pay for upkeep, although they don't know for sure because no one has provided them with any financial documentation.
In pointing out all of the landscaping and maintenance shortcomings, "we're basically blackening our own eye," said Dan Morford, one of the plaintiffs who has lived in Cory Lake Isles for three years. "But we equate it to having cancer. The lawsuit is the chemotherapy."
Developer in control
The lawsuit was filed against the property owners association, which is supposed to keep receipts of every penny spent for the past seven years. Who has those records remains a mystery. It could be the owners association, the local taxing district or Cory Lakes Limited, all controlled by developer Gene Thomason.
Thomason, who gives up his seat on the taxing district board next year, did not return calls for comment. Neither did owners association president Jane Taggart, nor taxing district supervisor Suzanne Manzi.
But Manzi did issue a letter to residents, in essence defending Thomason and the way the community is being run.
"You are each asked to pay about $150 a month for all the lawn mowing, weeding, mulching, street clearing, trash carting, tree trimming, security gates, salaries, building maintenance the list is 3 pages long" Manzi wrote. "If I total up the cost of the same services at my house, it's way more than $150 a month. ... If you truly care about Cory Lake and your neighbors, you will withdraw this suit and work with all of us in moving this transition forward."
The two sides are taking depositions and anticipate a faceoff in court in January.
"We don't want to be here," Morford told more than 100 neighbors who had gathered recently for an informational meeting about the lawsuit. "But look at the big picture. We have to be here."
Once upon a time ...
Things weren't always this way.
When Michelle Shaw moved in 13 years ago, Cory Lake Isles was much smaller. And it was pristine, she said.
"There was never a dead plant," said Shaw, also a plaintiff. "The moment a flower died, it was immediately replaced."
But the community grew to its now 1,000 homeowners. As its condition deteriorated, things started to unravel.
For years, homeowners demanded to see records but were rebuffed. Mark Basurto, the residents' attorney, said his requests for records have also been denied.
"It's plain and simple," Basurto said. "If they'd give us the records, it'd be over."
By tracing their money, residents hope to find answers as to why there are dead Canary Island date palms, weedy sidewalks and a broken stop sign. They also hope to return Cory Lake Isles to its original condition, considered one of the ritzier addresses in New Tampa.
"We're taking a 10 to 15 percent hit on the value of our homes because of the current state of our community," Morford said. "We keep our homes better than the keeper keeps the community."

Web Services are not slow! (0 messages)
There is a lot of talk about how slow Web Services are. A newly posted article benchmarks Apache Axis2/Java against Codehaus XFire. The article shows that Axis2 screams: it can fully saturate a 1GB Ethernet, and support peak loads of 10 million messages an hour. For large messages with complex objects (6k in/6k out), Axis2 can handle 1500 requests/sec, including deserializing into Java and reserializing for each message. While the experimental JAXB support in Axis2 is still not competitive with XFire, the supported ADB binding is 40% faster than XFire/JAXB in the tests. Time to rewrite the myth that SOAP is slow.

Over the last several months, the committee has focused on unintended consequences of federal and state accountability policies that rate schools on multiple choice/standardized tests heavily weighted toward Reading and Math. While useful in surfacing the disparities in performance of subgroups, alignment of practice to these high stakes metrics have too often narrowed the curriculum to what's tested and, to the detriment of Long term English Learners and others, have resulted in practices which do not prepare them for the next level of college and/or career readiness.

"Currently we see practice in the classroom guided by policies from the federal government that are not aligned to qualitative research. One of our main goals is to better align research to policy to practice. We are pleased that this initiative has the support and participation of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Senator Lou Correa and Assembly Member Jose Solorio and look forward to working with all legislators interested in taking action.â€

- Field Program
- Feral cat and fox control
Numbats thrive in feral-free reserves
"Numbats thrive in feral-free reserves" - Australian Geographic, 28 January 2016Read more...
Australian Wildlife Conservancy manages nearly 4 million hectares, protecting more native wildlife than any other organisation.open
Feral cats and foxes occur at high densities across the Murray Darling region.
At Yookamurra, AWC has established a 1,100 hectare fox and cat-free area, which is surrounded by a special purpose feral-proof fence. This area is of very high conservation value: it is the third largest feral-free area on mainland Australia.
The fox and cat-free area on Yookamurra provides protection for wild populations of four threatened mammal species, including the Bilby, Numbat, Burrowing Bettong and Brush-tailed Bettong.
The integrity of the fence is maintained by regular monitoring, including with the use of camera trap technology.
Outside the feral-free area, AWC field staff control foxes by shooting and regular baiting.
Baiting is not typically an effective form of feral cat control. At Yookamurra, we shoot feral cats opportunistically. More importantly, AWC is undertaking detailed research across our network of sanctuaries (for example, our work at Mornington) to develop more effective, landscape-scale control of feral cats.

What a truly lovely restaurant, we were made to feel welcoome the moment we stepped in and had our cots whisked away and were seated at a lovely table for two. We had difficulty deciding as all the food sounded divine, i ended up choosing the most delicous and huge prawns and my husband had the parma ham both lovely. I then had a lamb which was to die for any husband the steak with a mushroom sauce which he said was the best steak he had ever eaten. The wine was fabulous and over all we had one of nicest evening out together so thank you to all at Max's.

Superman Camp-Out Live - Seen (Updated)!
by Alex Billington
June 26, 2006
6:31PM - Well… I'm here, just me (Alex) so far. The biggest let down: we're #2 in line. These other kids who were in front of us for X-Men 3 heard about our arrival and decided to jump-ship and get here earlier than us. I was unfortunately out of state at an unexpected funeral for a relative and otherwise had to wait for my plane to arrive. So with all that mess, we have unfortunately arrived #2. However!
Here's some of the festivities and goodness planned for this evening.
» Chipotle sponsorship - free burritos for some people in line, so get here!
» Craziness all night long with movies and gaming on Xbox 360.
» Fighting with the #1 guys (heh, they suck).
» Much more to come, including a special treat Tuesday at 8AM!
11:15PM - So we've setup camp (check the photo above) and it's late and time to "party." We got a TV, our Xbox 360, and a bunch of movies. The guys next to us are about to watch Superman I and we may join in to check it out. Other than that it's a slightly cold night and we're about to settle down and fire up some movies (uh, repetitive, but yea). It's truly interesting out here outside of a movie theatre for an entire night… but that's how it goes. And oh, for those interested, at about 8:30AM tomorrow morning, we are going to be taken in and shown the Spider-man 3 trailer exclusive for us. That will be a pretty exciting update tomorrow morning. More posts through the night… for now - rock on!
2:00AM - It's late… and slightly cold… but we're chugging along. Watching Superman I on the TV here… the lights went out (above us) and we are quieted down… There are 6 of us left. Alex, Josh, and David, of FS.net. And three other people "in front of us." For those that didn't know, that is Borat behind us up in the photo above. He watches over all of us all the time. Nothing new to report… Just waiting until 10PM. 20 hours to go!
2:36AM - Wow, this is way cold. How come during regular days it's 70 at night, but the night we camp it's 40/50 at night! Ahhh… I'm off to go watch some… Evil Dead 2 I think! Posting more in a few hours.
1:15PM - Whoa… we missed a lot of time. Here's the story. A lot of us crashed at about 5AM after watching the rest of Superman II and playing some DS Lite. I slept "off and on" until about 8AM and then woke up (to hopefully see the Spider-Man 3 trailer). Unfortunately they had some problems overnight with the DLP download and were only screening it starting at about 8AM… so it didn't finish until about 11… And by then we just decided to wait until 12:30PM (our time) when it came out on Apple's site. So we've just been waiting around in the morning sun for this trailer and just relaxing. It should all pick up again in the next few hours while more people arrive (we all shower) and start up some more excitement before getting into Superman. And oh yea, don't forget… free Chipotle burritos if you come and join us in line (haha)!
2:04PM - I just need to say. People's reactions to our setup here are purely brilliant. This entire thing is just made great seeing everyone's reactions. It's usually a "whoa, haha" or sometimes a look of confusion, but always amazing. No matter what people look at us and are amazed, some roll their eyes, some ask stupid questions and comment with "these guys need to get a life." But there are also some who just get a "kick" out of it. Saying "that is so fun(ny)." I truly love hearing this reaction and its just great. Getting this sort of response is just worth it to be out here doing this no matter what anyway! That's the latest for now… Generally quiet this afternoon (right now).
Big Update!
2:11AM (Wednesday morning) - I'm here, back in the comfort of my own home… Big update on all that happened: our server that this site is hosted on had a hardware failure at the most inopportune time (I think a harddisk failed on the machine). In addition to incredibly flakey <28.8k-speed internet outside of the movie theatre, we were entirely unable to update this blog after 2PM. There were a LOT of great happenings since then but we just couldn't update! I'll outline some of them briefly to wrap this up.
» Line started to fill by about 6PM or so… and got to half the length of X-Men 3's midnight lines (which was about ~100-200 people). Was great to see other people in the line besides just us! Finally!
» There was a small group that showed up with THE GREATEST Superman costumes I have EVER seen! You can see the photos of them below.
» We got in at about 8:15PM to our respective theatres (non-IMAX and IMAX). As we said once before, we decided to go to non-IMAX for the typical experience we get in that theatre (it's the largest one there) and the crowds that usually amass within it.
» FS.net ran a trivia contest in both theatres giving away free movie passes and movie posters (including Superman IMAX 3D ones) on some Superman/Bryan Singer trivia. Lots of fun from both theatres, with some interesting questions and all around a great time with the people who came.
» We hyped up the Spider-Man 3 trailer and the time finally came. The very first trailer we were shown was Spider-Man 3 and holy CRAP was it intense! The cheers it received both before and especially after it ended were simply astounding. FS.net gave it a standing ovation (of course).
» We saw the movie (finally, he has returned!)… The crowd in this theatre was much more mellow than normal openings. No cheers during the movie (only at the beginning) and really no energy. It wish we could've have heard more from the audience, but I suppose the split to IMAX versus non-IMAX might've taken away some of the biggest fans. However, a great time no matter what. This opening was fantastic, some true highlights to never forget. My review of the movie will be coming a bit later.
Thanks again to all of our great sponsors and everyone at the Cinemark theatre! Chipotle deserves extra special thanks for getting us some free burritos and shirts out to some lucky people waiting in line. And in addition, thanks to the best theatre in the world, Cinemark (on Powers). They truly rock the world with the ultimate movie-going experience.

I have heard of this lately but cannot find any information on the process of fermenting black garlic. Do you have any idea at all? I do a lot of fermenting of other foods, including Kimchi and Kaktugi, but this is new to me.
The only thing I found was that it use to be done in earthen crocks and that it requires a certain heat. But nothing is said about adding liquid or anything else. Can you help?

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Aurora City Council awarded three of its four appointees performance bonuses earlier this year in the midst of deep budget cuts that included restricting library hours, closing city pools and cutting city jobs.
"I'm extremely surprised at this. The timing is amazing to me," said Randy Rester, who leads the Aurora Firefighters Union.
Rester said Aurora's 300 firefighters agreed to pay and benefit concessions to assist the city with its budget problems, but he said he wasn't aware that the city was simultaneously awarding bonuses to top administrators.
"I feel the people in the city have been betrayed," Rester said. "They're not practicing what they're preaching."
The CBS4 investigation found that Aurora City Council has four apppointees: the city manager, city attorney, presiding municipal judge and court administrator. The city manager was the only one who did not receive a bonus because he only began working for Aurora late last year.
The bonuses handed out in 2011 were based on 2010 job performance. The awards were decided on in City Council executive session and were not made public as they are judged to be personnel issues.
Chief Municipal Judge Richard Weinberg, who made $130,666 last year plus another $10,613 in deferred compensation, received a $3,920 performance award. Court Administrator Zelda Deboyes, who makes $134, 858 per year and receives $17,697 in deferred compensation, was given a $5,394 performance award. Aurora City Council gave city attorney Charlie Richardson a $7,934 performance award in addition to his $158,679 annual salary and $22,000 in annual deferred compensation.
All three appointees have had their annual salaries frozen since 2009 and did not receive bonuses in 2009 or 2010.
Richardson told CBS4 his bonus was justified in part by his efforts last year in a patent infringement case, which saved the city an estimated $750,000. Richardson has been with the Aurora city attorney's office since 1976.
"These really are key people in our organization," Councilmember Bob Broom said. "The productivity is up a lot and that's because of good leadership, so they need to be rewarded for that. We just felt it was important to motivate them to do a good job and reward them for it."
Broom said the amount of the bonuses pales in comparison to the cost of shopping around to replace good employees who leave for better pay and benefits elsewhere.
Kim Stuart, communications director for the city of Aurora, told CBS4 the bonuses were justified, even in these budget slashing times.
"None of them has received salary increases since 2008 and the average 4 percent one-time payment to them this year is a reasonable acknowledgment of their contributions."
But with Aurora city employees taking furlough days, street and park maintenance being deferred, and 200 city jobs eliminated, bonuses are a sore subject.
"You lead by example, and I'm not seeing a leader here," Rester said. "You can't have it both ways. If it's that bad, these people shouldn't be getting bonuses."
