Issue 25 Insects Spring 2007
Artist Project / Your Standard
Charles Goldman
In 1989, I bought a standard white Toyota pickup truck. I had a group of friends that all had the same pickup, and it felt to us like some sort of northern California socialist standard-issue vehicle—a no-frills utility truck for protohippies, progressive suburban kids, and sculptors with left-wing leanings. When the earthquake hit Santa Cruz, our chimney crumbled and rolled off the sloped roof of our house, demolishing the truck's cab—I drove around without a windshield for a few days and then got it fixed. In 2001, the truck was totaled in a hit-and-run in front of my loft in Brooklyn. I sold it to the scrap yard for fifty dollars. A couple of years later, back on the West Coast, I bought the same standard white Toyota pickup truck.

Patient education: Shoulder osteoarthritis treatment (Beyond the Basics)

Arthritis of the shoulder (the ball-and-socket joint) is an uncommon problem. In almost every case, the shoulder has been injured months or years earlier, leading to an abnormal wearing down of the cartilage. Injuries include bony fracture, dislocation, or heavy blow to the outer shoulder.
Fortunately, arthritis of the shoulder progresses slowly. Treatment focuses on reduction of inflammation, physical therapy stretching exercises to preserve motion, shoulder muscle strengthening exercises, and avoidance of activities to prevent further wear and arthritic flare-ups.
Limit activities — Avoiding painful activities in general will alleviate strain on the injured area. Restrict lifting, overhead reaching, and reaching behind (eg, reaching into the backseat) as much as possible during the early recovery period. It is safest to keep the arm down and in front of and close to the body.
Some general rules to decrease shoulder strain with activities include:
●If only one of your shoulders is affected, put that arm in your shirt or coat first when getting dressed.
●Lift objects close to the body.
●Only lift light weights, and limit lifting to below shoulder level.
●Do sidestroke or breaststroke when swimming (avoid the backstroke and classic crawl stroke).
●Throw balls underhand or sidearm.
●Avoid pushing exercises at the gym (eg, pushups, bench press, flies, shoulder press).
●Do not serve overhand in tennis or volleyball.
●Maintain good posture with writing, assembly work, and other tasks by keeping the shoulder blades down and back.
Pain relief — If needed, a nonprescription pain medication, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (eg, Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (eg, Aleve), can be taken (see "Patient education: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Beyond the Basics)"). No more than 3000 mg of acetaminophen are recommended per day. Anyone who has liver disease or who drinks alcohol regularly should speak with his or her healthcare provider before taking acetaminophen.
Heat — Heat helps prepare the tissues for stretching and should be performed prior to exercise sessions. The preferable method of heating is whole-body, deep heating in a warm shower or bath for 10 to 15 minutes. Local heat (for example, with a moist heating pad or a towel warmed in a microwave) is an alternative, but generally is not as effective.
Weighted pendulum stretching exercise — These exercises are intended to help maintain joint mobility and flexibility of the muscles and tendons in the shoulder. Range of motion and flexibility exercises should not cause more than a mild level of pain; patients who feel sharp or tearing pain while stretching should stop exercising immediately and should consult their healthcare provider.
This exercise should be performed once or twice per day, after the shoulder is warmed with cardiovascular exercise; or a directly applied warm pack.
The exercise is performed as follows (figure 1):
●Relax your shoulder muscles.
●While standing or sitting, keep your arm vertical and close to your body (bending over too far may pinch the rotator cuff tendons).
●Allow your arm to swing forward to back, then side to side, and then in small circles in each direction (no greater than one foot in any direction). Only minimal pain should be felt.
●Stretch the arm only (without added weight) for three to seven days. Progress this exercise by adding 1 to 2 lbs (0.5 to 1 kg) per week and by gradually increasing the diameter of the movements (not to exceed 18 to 24 inches or 45 to 60 cm).
●After a few weeks, this exercise should be supplemented or replaced by other exercises to target specific areas of tightness or restriction. The pendulum stretch may be recommended as a warm-up for more localized flexibility exercises and/or strengthening exercises.
When performed correctly, the pendulum exercise should not result in more than mild discomfort. If more pain is felt, consult a healthcare provider for instructions.
Passive stretching exercises — Passive stretches are performed after the pendulum stretch exercise (picture 1A-C). These exercises, performed once or twice a day for several months, should further loosen the tightened shoulder lining and should help to restore more normal range of motion. Sets of 10 to 20 of the following three exercises are performed daily:
●Armpit stretch – Use your good arm to lift the affected arm onto a shelf, dresser, or any object about breast high. Gently bend at the knees, opening up the arm pit. Try to push the arm up a little farther with each stretch.
●Finger walk – Face a wall about three-quarters of an arm's length away. Using only your fingers (not your shoulder muscles) raise your arm up to shoulder level.
●Towel stretch – Take a three-foot-long towel, grasp it with both hands, and hold it at a 45-degree angle. Use the upper, good arm to pull the arm toward the lower back. This can be repeated with the towel in the horizontal position.
The goal of these exercises is to stretch the shoulder to the point of tension but not pain.
Muscle-toning exercises should be performed after your initial pain has resolved. These exercises are necessary to restore any lost muscle strength.
The joint should always be heated and stretched (as outlined above) prior to beginning toning exercises. Following a two- or three-minute rest, perform sets of 15 to 20 exercises daily, each held for five seconds. Flexible rubber tubing, bungee cords, or large rubber bands are used for each exercise (figure 2).
Outward rotation exercise — Hold your elbows at 90 degrees, close to your sides. Grasp the rubber band with your hands, and rotate your forearms outward only two or three inches, holding for five seconds (picture 2).
Inward rotation exercise — Hold your elbow at 90 degrees, close to your side. Hook the rubber band onto a door handle, and grasp with only one hand. Rotate your forearm inward two or three inches, and hold for five seconds. The forearm swings like a door (picture 3).
Lifting exercise — Bend your elbow to 90 degrees. Place the rubber band near the elbows, and lift your arms up four or five inches away from the body, holding for five seconds (picture 4).
Mild soreness should be expected with these exercises. Sharp or severe pain may indicate a flare of the underlying problem; stop these exercises for a few days if this occurs.

Alpha 3 of Ubuntu 8.04
The developers of Ubuntu have released the third alpha of Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron", which is planned as a LTS version.
(After the final release in April, users will have to decide whether they prefer long time support or the new KDE desktop. The third Hardy Heron release includes a number of pre-release versions of the kernel, drivers and programs which will all be stable by the time the final release becomes available. The core of the system is Release Candidate 6 of kernel 2.6.24, which merges the x86 and x86_64 branches, thus making dynamic ticks, as currently offered for the x86 platform available to x64 systems. On top of this, new WLAN drivers and a number of new and revised drivers will be included. The Web browser is a pre-release version of the future Mozilla browser Firefox 3. Xorg 7.3 the new graphical system that offers improved automatic configuration is also included. PulseAudio is the new sound system. The integration of PolicyKit will offer more granular configuration capabilities. The system gives administrators the ability to grant additional privileges to normal users for specific actions.
For the first time, user will be asked to decide, after the Final Release in April, whether they prefer long term support or the new KDE desktop. The developers have announced that the Kubuntu version of Ubuntu 8.04 will not be available as an LTS version. Shortly before Christmas, Kubuntu's main developer, Jonathan Riddell, announced that Kubuntu would not be offering the LTS version scheduled in the release plan, but going for the new KDE 4 instead. The announcement met with a mixed reception. Although part of the community approved of the step, others said that Kubuntu was playing guinea pig.
Business customers are unlikely to welcome this step. After all, companies who have used the current LTS variant, Kubuntu 6.06, will now need to decide whether to opt for the currently unstable KDE 4 variant, or to secure long term support by moving to a different flavor of Ubuntu.
As always, the Alpha 3 is available from the distribution's website or one of its mirrors. As the alpha is for test purposes only, users are advised not to deploy it in production environments.

All Aboard! Google Maps Adds Transit Data For Chicago, Vancouver, And The UK
Anyone who has ever taken public transit in the last few years knows how frustrating it can be to have to deal with paper bus routes or even written data on when each bus, train, or other public transit might arrive. Thankfully Google Maps has come so far over the years that they have expanded their data on public transit in many areas, making it easier to get around without driving or the need to carry around paper route information. Coming from the Portland metro area in Oregon, this would have been a huge benefit to have all the route information in the palm of my hand when taking the tri-met or the Max train just 5 years ago. Today, Google is proud to announce that they have expanded the Google Maps public transit data in three new areas, but they also don't want you to forget about a fourth area that was recently updated.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
For starters, right here in the states, Chicagoans can now get tons of access to any transit data they need right within Google Maps. That means you can get all the way to the next Cubs game without having to hop behind the wheel and all by using the Maps app. Heading up north to Vancouver, Canada, Vancouverites now have access to Google Maps transit data as well, so if you choose to forego driving through the beautiful downtown area, you won't be avoiding the massive amounts of traffic but at least you won't have to drive in it.
Hopping on over to Great Britain,(this probably makes our own Tom Dawson pretty happy) Google Maps now has literally every single transit route in the country, listed within Google Maps. Literally every single route. That's including transit times and information on busses, ferries, trams, trains, and tubes, and spanning over 17,000 different routes across the UK. As Google Maps points out, you'll now even be able to use Google Maps to go from Land's End to John O'Groats which is said to be a trip that will take one roughly 27 hours total by way of foot, train, and bus. Now that's amazing. Remember that area Google Maps just recently added transit data to that we mentioned they wanted to remind us about? It's Brazil. Just as a recap, Google Maps has transit data for every host city in Brazil. Anyone for a trip?

Four additional landing zones proposed for PTA
The 25th Army Combat Aviation Brigade and Hawaii Army National Guard want to construct four aviation landing zones on Mauna Loa's northern slope, a location deemed ideal for military helicopter pilots to train on varied terrain, under diverse conditions and at multiple altitudes.
These additional landing zones are needed "to ready military aviation units to successfully complete their missions," as well as meet proficiency requirements, including conducting High-Altitude Mountainous Environmental Training, or HAMET, at altitudes 6,000 feet and above, according to a recent environmental assessment.
"Understanding and being proficient in austere environments must be learned, maintained and refreshed, and continually taught to incoming pilots to ensure the military maintains its ability and responsibility to respond successfully on behalf of the U.S. government to defend and protect its people, interests and responsibilities at home and around the world," the document stated.
The proposed landing zones would differ in size, be about 1.2 to 1.7 miles apart, located at elevations from 8,520 to 8,800 feet, and one would have a 15-foot-tall pinnacle feature. All would occur within the boundaries of Pohakuloa Training Area, the military's largest training maneuver area in the Pacific, which is in the saddle between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. The military is also seeking to build a single-lane access trail and a trail linking the landing zones.
"The primary purpose of the trails under the proposed action would only be to provide a means to transport heavy equipment to construct the landing zones," the EA stated. "There are no additional plans or foreseeable uses for the access or linking trails that result from the proposed action."
An EA for the landing zones was released Monday, with a draft finding of no significant impact. This means the military, based on the information analyzed, believes there will be no direct, indirect or cumulative adverse impacts on the natural or human environment.
"The action being proposed does not involve the acquisition of additional land, training outside of the current installation boundary, or live-fire exercises conducted outside the approved/existing PTA impact area," the EA stated. "Additionally, no increase in training flights is being proposed under the proposed action or action alternatives. It is estimated that approximately 10 percent of current training flights occurring at PTA would use the new landing zones once they are constructed."
There would be an estimated maximum of 420 flights a year and a maximum of 20 flights per day on the proposed landing zones. The flights would originate at Bradshaw Army Airfield and follow a flight path within PTA's airspace and perimeter. Multiple helicopters could be in the air and conducting maneuvers simultaneously. However, pilots would have to maintain a distance of at least 328 feet from each other. The types of helicopters using the landing zones are AH-64 Class Apache, UH-60 Class Black Hawk, CH-47 Class Chinook, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior and UH-72A Series Lakota.
If the project moves forward, PTA's landing zone training areas would increase from 31 to 35. The Combat Aviation Brigade now uses PTA for about 4,5000 aviation training hours annually.
The estimated cost of constructing the trails and landing zones will be less than $650,000. Construction will take up to 40 days to complete and "would result in a slight increase in short-term, construction-related jobs," the EA stated.
While there are no cultural resources directly within the landing zones, there are three potential cultural sites on the northern portion of the proposed single-lane access trail, all of which can be avoided during construction activities, according to a survey conducted in February and March.
When it comes to noise, "helicopter use of the proposed landing zones may annoy Mauna Loa Forest Reserve recreational users in the immediate vicinity. Cultural practitioners in areas near PTA may also be annoyed or distracted depending where they are, but the noise should not obstruct or curtail their activities."
Besides best management practices, the military plans to conduct most flights during the day to allow birds to roost at night, mark locations for plant species, identify potential nesting habitat prior to construction activities, observe construction operations to avoid any potential incidental deaths, and temporarily discontinue the use of landing zones when there's nesting birds observed within 100 meters of the area.
"Impacts to sensitive species from construction activities are anticipated to be low because of the lack of habitat and the implementation of measures to mitigate potential habitat loss and species injury/death," the EA stated. "Near the landing zones, the potential impact between helicopters and sensitive species is low because of the locations of known bird and bat habitat, the lack of potential habitat near the landing zones, established flight procedures, mitigation to prevent collisions. The overall potential impacts from noise to sensitive species are anticipated to be low, because species would not be attracted to noise and would vacate area until the noise subsides, the duration of noise events will be less than 10 minutes."
The public has through Jan. 18 to comment on the EA, which is available online at the state Department of Health's Office of Environmental Quality Control website, oeqc.doh.hawaii.gov, or the U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii's National Environmental Policy Act program website, garrison.hawaii.army.mil/NEPA/NEPA.htm.

...not sure where they come from
but sometimes they just do...
I think this one is a tad self-indulgent. It reminds me of that man in the comedy sketch who would begin a beautiful landscape and then accidentally use black paint and run off screaming into the wind at what he had done.
I think that this one is perhaps about community life...but it could be about many things.
Called, collected together, cemented
Voice-strong, lament long-lamented
Higher than highest pitch
Lower than the deepest deep
Hiding fearfully, behind hands - peep!
Daring exposure in a search for
A vivid, vivacious, holy disclosure: Who am I, Lord?
Struggling silently surrounded
Freedom felt keenly but socially bounded.
Who am I Lord?
When do I get to be untied?
Alive without bits of me having died?
Am I part of a corporate struggle - then if so, show me the struggling
the sliding
the hidden
Is mine to be a hiding place that's so very forbidden?
Dare to bare skin in a world that says 'cover-all', whilst revealing so much other stuff that's shiny and perfect and causes the soul to blush
but is deep down deluded but so comfortable in threaded fluff.
My REAL is sore and delicate and fracturing.
It's attempting to find skin with which it might find a matching.
There's a life beneath, pushing through and painfully hatching,
But the dry bits are bleeding and on surfaces catching.
So whom should I rub against where there is no friction?
And in whom do I make a home that won't become an addiction?
For I don't want to run there escaping these sea-scapes,
I must stay in the waves awhile and wait 'til the dawn breaks.
I must keep afloat now, a little while longer,
Not falling asleep as the waves become stronger.
Bring me into shore, Lord, I need a resting-place.
Patch up my wounds, Lord, and clean up my sun-burnt face.
Place me on solid ground, hoist me up in a panopticon
From where on all sides I'll gaze out on your smiling Son.
Lower me down again and refresh me with real sight,
Have me pitch a new tent in the rays of your ember light.
Sometimes I just write poems...
Ordained Anglican. Thinking out loud about church.

Call of Duty 4 Only Running at 720p?
Thanks to a tip from a fellow reader, it seems that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare may only run at 720p.
First off, the reader claims that the game looks absolutely breathtaking, but it only runs at 720p. The back of the box claims it supports 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, but his Samsung Full HD TV is only running it at 720p.
His TV has been checked, he is using an HDMI 1.3 cable and the PLAYSTATION resolution is set at 1080p, but the game still only runs at 720p.
To make sure it wasn't his TV, he tested other Full HD games, like NBA Street Homecourt, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and LAIR. They all ran at 1080p like the box indicated.
Could Call of Duty 4 only run at 720p? We'll tell you as we find out more.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Financial Expert, Author and TV Personality, Farnoosh Torabi most notably of Bank of Mom and Dad and The Nate Berkus Show to discuss ways students can save for college tuition and the ins and outs of scholarships, financial aid and student loans!
Financial Expert, Farnoosh Torabi – Image via Farnoosh.TV
Candace Rose: What are the smartest and best ways to save and pay for college?
Farnoosh Torabi: "The smartest and best ways to pay for college begins with applying for free money, scholarships, grants; the millions and millions of dollars that students have access to each and every year to help them supplement their college expenses, that would be the first destination I think."
CR: What are some of the most fiscally responsible choices for federal and private student loans?
FT: "So, I would first start with federal student loans. You want to apply for the FAFSA which is the free application for Federal Student Aid, that's FAFSA.Gov. You can apply for that, it's kind of an open ended application but I would recommend if you're headed to college; you're a high school senior – you want to apply the year that you're applying for college. If you still need some aid, if there's a gap to fill beyond the scholarships and beyond to the federal aid, look into private student loans. There's a wide variety of them and you want to look for student loans that offer low terms, good payment options, low interest rates. I've actually partnered with Sallie Mae, the biggest provider of private student loans and they have what's called the 'smart option loan' and students can actually pay down the loan a little bit at a time when they are in college and also get the benefit of a shorter term, so they pay off the loan faster and they save on interest over the life of the loan."
Sallie Mae – SallieMae.com
CR: Where can we go to find scholarship listings and search for free money?
FT: For scholarship listings and a list of free money, you want to check out sites like FastWeb.com, Scholarships.com, as well as SallieMae.com – the site has a huge database of millions of dollars worth of scholarships and grants."
CR: Do you have any advice for those applying for scholarships?
FT: "My number one advice for anyone interested in scholarships is don't underestimate your ability to qualify. I think a lot of students follow the myth that they don't have the grades or the community service hours but that should not be a reason to avoid the free money. There's something out there for everybody, the key is to really cast a wide net. Read up on all the eligibility factors and contact not only those websites but also your parents employers, your community service groups, your church groups- wherever you may think they have some free money lying around and they want to support your educational pursuits."
CR: Do you have any additional tips or information you'd like to share?
FT: Well, I think we covered much of the advice but I would say be thoughtful about financing your education, understand you don't have to bear the entire burden yourself. It's good to come into the investment with some skin in the game and some of your own money that you've saved up over the years but there are other resources out there to help you finance the education and SallieMae.com/ChooseSmart is a great place to learn more about what we've talked today and what we've covered and some of your other options for financing a college education."

WILDSEEDS Black Futures Fest:
A Celebration of the Black Fantastic
Music | Visual Art | Fashion+Design | Film | Literature | Scholarship
Wildseeds: The New Orleans Octavia Butler Emergent Strategy Collective is excited to be planning our first Afrofuturist sci-fi/speculative arts community festival, which will feature the local and national/international works of artists of color centralizing the Black radical imagination through music, visual art, fashion+design, film, literature, scholarship, and community.
The Wildseeds Black Futures Fest will take place May 28-31, 2015 in New Orleans, and will showcase the creative praxis of artists, writers, and cultural workers of color in New Orleans whose work engages around issues of Afrofuturism, Black science fiction, and the Black radical and speculative imagination—work exploring race, gender, class, social change, and the future of Black and Brown bodies and communities.
Black radical movements have always had Black arts and Black futurism as a core part of the work of social change. Black communities have always needed cultural work, artistic expression, imagination, and visioning to make our political organizing work sustainable and relevant.
The fest is a grassroots, women and queer folks of color-led series of events that will offer space, resources, and the necessary time for marginalized communities to come together to imagine ourselves in our own futures, which is what the best science fiction and speculative fiction should allow us to do. We want to encourage art and conversation that will explore the experiences and intersections of our lives, using science fiction, speculative fiction, and other art forms as a lens on our own existences. This festival is an act of centralizing and celebrating our selves, reflecting on our individual and collective pasts, enduring our presents, all while shaping our possible futures.
The weekend of festivities will feature film screenings, workshops, panel discussions, literary readings, and art and music by artists and musicians of color. More than anything, the festival will provide a space to celebrate Black and Brown artists, writers, teachers, librarians, readers, and publishers engaged in shaping the future of Black people at the intersections of futurism, arts, and social change.

Equine Forage Analysis by NIR SpectroscopyBy Kentucky Equine Research Staff · October 20, 2014
Horse owners may want to have samples of their hay analyzed to determine carbohydrate level or other nutritional parameters. Various techniques are used to perform this analysis, one of which is near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy. This is a sophisticated analytical technique used for determining the chemical characteristics of agricultural and food products, pharmaceuticals and beverages. It is based on the fact that each of the major chemical components of a sample has near infrared absorption properties that can be used to differentiate one component from another. Once a feed or forage sample has been dried and ground, a NIR analysis can be completed in about 60 seconds, yielding results for up to 18 nutrients.
NIR forms the basis for most commercial feed analyses. Advantages of this technique are:
1. Accuracy – advancements in computer software have provided the tools to take full advantage of the technology.
2. Speed –NIR analyses can be completed in under 24 hours.
3. Cost – analyses are typically half the price of wet chemistry.
4. Labor efficiency – more analyses can be completed in a shorter period of time with less labor.
5. Safety – eliminates the use of hazardous chemicals.
6. Environmentally friendly.
Several factors influence the accuracy of NIR measurements. These include:
1. Does the component have NIR reflectance properties? Each of the major organic feed components has absorption characteristics (due to vibrations arising from the stretching and bending of H bonds associated with C, O, N) in the near infrared region that are specific to that component. NIR is most sensitive to organic compounds. Compounds lacking the above properties will not calibrate as well.
2. Robustness of the calibration set. There must be adequate variation in the population of samples used for developing the calibration. The variation must be inherently reflective of the sample population as a whole. The more closely the calibration set resembles the sample population, the better the performance of the calibration.
3. Accuracy of the reference method. A NIR measurement can only be as accurate as the reference method used to develop the calibration. For example, crude protein can be accurately measured and calibrated. The detergent fiber methods of analysis are not as precise, and therefore are less well determined by NIR.
4. Calibration updates. New varieties and hybrids are introduced every year. In order to keep calibrations current, they must be continually expanded to include new genetics. Software routines ease the process of identifying new samples for calibration expansion. Each sample has its own spectral fingerprint (spectra). Software comparisons of new spectra to existing spectra in the calibration database identify samples to add for expansion.
NIR does not measure minerals directly. Values are indirect measurements based on relationships with other components. Predicted mineral values will be better than average tabular values, but they may not be the absolute values. NIR mineral results are routinely used by the feed industry for ration formulation. Wet chemistry minerals should be substituted when precise formulation is required for exceptional circumstances. This could be for rations where the animals are not performing as expected or for high performance rations where fine tuning to the highest degree is desired.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by quixoticduck, Dec 7, 2010.
Has Apollo got Swype? Or can it get SlideIT and is this good?
thanks =]
every android can get swype, even if it isnt stock.
my opinion on swype tho is rather negative, i tested it on my phone but it really isnt as convenient as you'd think. qwerty with 2 thumbs will never be beaten.
I checked out the swype website and it appears they are no longer testing the beta. I did note in my I5801 in 'Locale and text' there is a reference to swype but I can't turn it on
@Clarks Have you tried long pressing on any text entry field (i.e. new SMS) and selecting Input Method, and from there you should be able to select Swype.
It has swype built in.
however i've installed SlideIT as you can record shortcuts where upto 5 letters can be typed that pulls up the full phrase yo associated with it
eg ie have recorded "em" and it types out my full email address.
or un and it types out my normal username.
Very useful
yeh it has swype

The Other Important 40th Anniversary
The Page One Cover Story in the Friday, August 14 issue of USA TODAY, "Woodstock: More of a curiosity than a benchmark in 2009?" (online) is just one among the many such stories newspapers, Web sites, and television and radio networks (including NPR) are running to mark the 40th anniversary of the event.
In the fourth paragraph, USA TODAY writer Jerry Shriver, says the anniversary "resurrects questions of whether Woodstock's organic, peace-and-love-through-music legacy still resonates — and whether it's relevant to young people living in a high-tech, marketing-driven era of splintered musical tastes, widely diverse political views and short attention spans."
This is a good question. There can be little debate, however, that the other big news event that overlapped Woodstock's third day should still resonate even though it isn't getting much 40th anniversary attention.
On the night of Sunday, August 17, 1969 –originally scheduled as the last night of Woodstock — Hurricane Camille came ashore on the Mississippi Coast with 190 miles per hour winds and up to 24 feet of storm surge, killing 141 people. Two days later the storm, which had weakened to a tropical depression with winds weaker than 39 mph, brought flooding rain to Virginia's mountains, killing another 153 people.
An August 14 search of Google news for "Camille anniversary" turned up no stories in large newspapers, national radio or television networks Web sites, or major Web-only news sites, about the other anniversary.
Local outlets that Camille affected, haven't forgotten. Here are two examples:
- Biloxi-Gulfport and South Mississippi SunHerald.com.
- Roanoke Times Roanoke.com.
The enduring legacy of Camille that almost everyone has heard of, even though they probably don't know it's a legacy of Camille, is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Potential Damage Scale that assigns each hurricane a one through five category that changes as the storm gains or loses strength.
The story of how Camille showed Bob Simpson the need for such a scale and how he and Herbert S. Saffir, a wind damage expert, created it is told on Page 236 of The AMS Weather Book. At the time Simpson was director of the National Hurricane Center and as such was in charge of forecasting Camille.
Camille proved beyond a doubt that U.S. hurricane forecasters need complete and up-to-the-minute information from airplanes that fly into hurricanes in order to issue life-saving forecasts. Text, graphics, and photos on pages 246 through 251 of The AMS Weather Book describe why such measurements are so important, using the example of Hurricane Katrina, and how airplanes gather the needed data from inside hurricanes.
The profile of Bob Simpson and his wife Joanne (also an important atmospheric scientist) on pages 18 and 19 of the AMS Weather Book tells how Bob feared he would be fired after he told Vice President Spiro Agnew during a tour of storm damage that he couldn't guarantee life-saving hurricane forecasts like those for Camille if the U.S. government didn't upgrade the airplanes available for hurricane flights.
Simpson kept his job. The airplanes were upgraded, and continue to be upgraded as needed to the benefit of everyone who lives anywhere in the United States, Mexico, or around the Caribbean that a hurricane could hit.
Camille is also important because it was the first hurricane for which forecasters used what had been an experimental computer model that predicted the height of storm surge. Simpson went out on a limb using this model.
Emergency management officials credited the model's surge prediction, a last-minute report by an Air Force WC-130 that estimated that winds around the eye were blowing at 190 mph, and Simpson's use of this information in his bulletins with prompting last-minute evacuations that surely saved hundreds of lives.
Finally, one reason enough aircraft were not available to fly into Camille is that many suitable airplanes were busy at the same time conducting a Project Stormfury experiment on Hurricane Debbie far out in the Atlantic to see whether cloud seeding could weaken hurricanes.
Initial reports that the seeding had weakened Debbie led some to suggest that such seeding be used on all potentially dangerous hurricanes. But, as often with initial reports of scientific experiments, it wasn't this simple and the Stormfury scientists disagreed with the idea that seeding should be used regularly. More on this is found on the Explorations: Weather Control Web page on the AMS Weather Book Supplementary Texts Web site.
The details on Bob Simpson's forecasts for Camille are told on pages 150 through 156 of Hurricane Watch: Forecasting the Deadliest Storms on Earth by Dr. Bob Sheets and Jack Williams.
Probably the most extensive examinations of what Hurricane Camille did and the lessons that should have been learned from it was published 10 years ago: "Thirty Years After Hurricane Camille: Lessons Learned, Lessons Lost" by Roger A. Pielke, Jr., Chantal Simonpietri, and Jennifer Oxelson. It's on the University of Colorado Center for Science and Technology Policy Research Web site.
They argue that the fact that society has "learned a lesson" doesn't mean much will be learned. "Without fail, in the aftermath of every hurricane's impact, general lessons for coping with hurricanes are drawn," they write, "but typically are soon forgotten, only to have to be relearned by another community (and sometimes in the same community) in the aftermath of the next hurricane."
This was certainly the case with Camille. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina's eye came across Waveland, Miss., just as Camille's eye had done, destroying or damaging several structures that had been rebuilt after Camille. Katrina was not as strong as Camille, but it was larger and thus affected more people and their homes and businesses.
For more information
Stu Ostro of The Weather Channel writes about Camille and shoots down a couple of persistent legends about the storm on his blog.
As is often the case, the Wikipedia Camille entry is a good, and apparently accurate, summary of the storm and its effects and also a good source of bibliographic information, including links, for anyone interested in conducting serious research.
The Hurricane Center's Preliminary Report on Camille has a great deal of information including the text of watches and warnings. It's available as a PDF file.
The Hurricane Center's April 1970 report on The Atlantic Hurricane Season of 1969 by Bob Simpson, Arnold L. Sugg, and others at the NHC, published in the Monthly Weather Review, covers not only Camille but that busy season's other unusual storms. It's availble as a PDF file. This report is a treasure trove for anyone who's fascinated by hurricanes.
And, as mentioned above, Hurricane Watch, the book that Bob Sheets and I wrote, has detailed histories of both hurricane flying and the Stormfury Project as well as the story of forecasting Camille, including the first operational use of a storm surge model.

Love this Duvet Cover Set
I got this in Ecru and love it. It is very rich looking with great fabric and colors. I had been searching for this look in brown, but chose the ecru since it was the closest. I couldn't be happier and would choose this color over again if I had to.Read More
Excellent: true black and bright white
Love my new duvet set, just what I was looking for. The colors are great. I ordered the Black/white. The black is a true, bold black and the white is vivid white, not cream or ivory. Only wish that is had come with a bedskirt. I paired a black bedskirt with it and wasn't easy to find. I have a very deep mattress, and the cover is a little short from covering the mattress.Read More

North Korea isn't exactly too fond of Americans, but they sure do like our athletes. The authoritarian nation announced through its government news agency that it will organize a professional wrestling event in its capital, Pyongyang, this summer that will include "world famous pro wrestlers from Japan, the U.S. and other countries." According to the news agency, the contest to be held under the theme of independence, peace and friendship," which are hardly the hallmarks of most pro wrestling events.
North Korea already has Japanese pro wrestling legend Antonio Inoki – who's wrestled everyone from Muhammad Ali to Hulk Hogan – on board as head of the organizing committee. It's unclear which, if any, American wrestlers will actually take part in the event, given the whole North-Korea-is-ruled-by-a-raging-dictator-and-has-threatened-to-bomb-America thing, but hey, at the very least, Kim Jong Un can turn to his BFF Dennis Rodman.

We were given a word "through" (in Norwegian "Gjennom"). We had two weeks to interpret the word "through" and come up with a product. It was a task that focused more on the process rather than the final result. There were a lot of experimentation and trials, and it has been a very exciting project to work with!

(Warning: The following contains major plot SPOILERS for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Proceed with whatever level of caution that suggests to you is wise...)
Now, however you may feel about his controversial portrayal in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the past three-quarters of a century sure have offered up a whole lot of reasons to love Superman. Whether you fell for his goofy golden and silver age comic-book antics, Christopher Reeve's iconic performance in the original movies, or even Henry Cavill's darker modern turn, Superman has long been an icon for millions around the world.
And yet, right here, right now, in 2016, we don't really know what's coming next for the Man of Steel on the big screen. After all...
(Note: This is where those aforementioned SPOILERS kick in, right below this video...)
...the last we saw of him in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he was seemingly very dead. Except, of course, for the presence of that teasing final shot of his grave, which (alongside pretty direct confirmation from the movie's director Zack Snyder) would seem to suggest that Superman won't be gone for all that long. Justice League, Part One is fast approaching, after all.
With that being the case, though, it's perhaps time to ask:
What Will The Next Superman Solo Movie Be Like?
After all, whether you love it or hate it, it's a little tough to describe Batman v Superman as an actual sequel to Man of Steel - with the DC's superhero on superhero action epic instead acting as more of a standalone introduction to the DC Extended Universe.
With that in mind, then, what can we expect to see from a hypothetical Man of Steel 2? Let's take a look at the two leading candidates, shall we?
First up:
The Continuity Candidate: Zack Snyder's Man of Steel 2
Let's say that Justice League, Part One does well at the box office, and that Geoff Johns' installment as the DCEU's new go-to-guy brings fans and critics alike back in to the DC fold. If that's the case, then we can reasonably expect Warner Bros. (DC's parent company) to double down on Zack Snyder's involvement in the franchise, and to authorize a similarly dark and serious take on the Superman mythos to what we saw in Man of Steel.
Superman would remain willing to kill in certain circumstances, and would act as more of a metaphor for the distrust of outsiders (and the moral complexity inherent in modern life) than as the icon of virtue and humanity that his comic-book counterpart has long been. In other words, it truly will be Man of Steel 2 - a direct sequel to the 2013 film both spiritually and in terms of plot.
Alternatively, though, we could well see...
The Outsider Option: A Lighter, 'All Star' Superman
Should things not go Snyder's way, however - say, though a negative critical response to Justice League, Part One, or a similarly disappointing box office take to Batman v Superman for the DCEU's next few films - then we could well be set to see a very different sort of Superman movie. After all, there's no shortage of alternate takes on the Superman mythos in DC's comic-book back catalog.
Could we perhaps instead see some variation on the classic Superman tale spun by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely in All-Star Superman? The 2005-2008 series has, after all, become one of the most beloved DC comic-books in recent memory, and offers up a highly adaptable tale of optimism, scientific endeavor and down home Superman-ly charm. If Snyder were to depart the franchise, could DC decide to eschew its own darker approach, and offer a fan-friendly director (Joss Whedon, perhaps?) the chance to adapt an iconic modern tale of the Man of Steel?
Well, possibly. In the meantime, though, we're likely just going to have to sit tight and wait for Superman to be reborn. Should be...oh, about a year and a half, now.
