Samostat.c Program Fix – 4/24/13
We have recently been made aware of a bug in the samostat.c program in ROBOTC 3.60 that is preventing it from displaying the correct information on the NXT screen. Due to this bug being discovered at the beginning of the FTC Worlds Championship, we are making this easy fix public knowledge instead of pushing out an update. To fix the samostat.c program bug, simply follow the steps below:
1) Open the samostat.c program in ROBOTC by navigating to the 'File -> Open Sample Program -> Samantha Module -> samostat.c' program file.
2) Navigate to the 'nxtDisplayTextLine(status.nLine, "%s", status.message);' line in task main (line 69 by default). Add an ampersand (&) to the 'status.message' and change it to '&status.message' (no quotation marks).
3) Save the file to finalize the changes and make sure to compile and download it to your NXT brick.
We apologize for any inconveniences this may have cause. Please email our support team directly at email@example.com if you encounter any other issues or bugs.
Student Shows Off ROBOTC Skills in Tutorial
When it comes to setting up any new robot, the age-old saying 'knowledge is power' tends to ring particularly true. This is why one can find a variety of beginner guides already available, such as the Video Curriculum Trainer and the 'Getting Started with NXT and TETRIX' ROBOTC wiki guide. There's no such thing as too much knowledge, though, and the more tools a roboticist has at their fingertips the higher their chance for success.
Because of this, we are pleasantly surprised by the depth of content covered by Avi, aka TheProgreammerDude's YouTube tutorial video. Avi is a member of FTC team 5773. Not only is his tutorial straight from the screen of an FTC team programmer, it focuses on ROBOTC programming concepts specifically for the FTC competition (such as using competition templates and setting up a TETRIX robot using the Motors and Sensors Setup window).
If you're looking add this video set to your ROBOTC toolkit, be sure to check out the first video in his series.
Have you created a ROBOTC or Robot Virtual Worlds tutorial? If so, let us know!
FTC Ring It Up and VEX Sack Attack v1.50 Now Available!
Following up from an earlier post, new versions of the FTC Ring It Up and VEX Sack Attack Virtual Worlds are now available!
In version 1.50 of Ring It Up, all arm, wrist, and gripper motors now include encoders, allowing you to get feedback and implement precise control over the robots. We've also swapped the Compass Sensor for the Gyroscope, which was highly requested by FTC teams. New Sample code for the encoders and gyroscope is installed with the world.
In version 1.50 of Sack Attack, we've added encoders to the arm motors on all of the robots, and a potentiometer to the scooper motor on Scooperbot, giving you very precise control. All robot models have also had the Compass sensor replaced with a Gyroscope, better aligning them with the real world VEX system. As with the Ring It Up world, Sample code for all of the new functionality is included.
We genuinely appreciate all of the feedback and comments we've received about these worlds, and we hope that these changes show that we're listening. Keep the feedback coming!
Adding support for all of the new inputs required a significant update of our back end, so these versions require ROBOTC 3.54 or later to be installed. Happy programming!
RVW Update: FTC Ring It Up v1.2 Now Available!
UPDATE: Version 1.2.2 of the Ring It Up virtual world is now available, which includes additional starting points and memory management improvements.
We're happy to announce a MASSIVE update to this year's virtual world for FTC Ring It Up! Download it here, or on the RVW Level Packs download page. Read on to find out what's new.
Support for the IR Seeker and IR Beacon
- As the title implies, the IR Seeker and IR Beacon are both emulated in this new version. From the robot selection screen, you can choose whether your want your robot to start with the Compass or IR Seeker.
- The IR Beacon is randomly placed along one of the three columns, just like the real game.
- We've even added a cool, new "Sensor View" mode so you can see how the robot is detecting the IR Seeker, Sonar, and Compass values.
- Additional sample programs for using the IR Seeker are also installed with the update, and can be downloaded here.
- Both Scissorbot and Gripperbot can be pre-loaded with a striped ring!
- You can control what side the robot starts on, the color of it's pre-loaded ring, and enable the autonomous duration all from the main menu.
Automatic Scoring
- Scoring is fully implemented in this new version.
- Concepts like the weighted rings, owning pegs, line score bonuses and corner goal bonuses are all simulated.
- Cool, new timer and scoreboard in the top-left corner of the window. Compete with your classmates or teammates to see who can get the highest score before time runs out!
Additional Enhancements
- We've improved the lighting and contrast of the game, making it easier to grab and score the rings.
- Improved robot-to-ring interaction and control.
- Lots of small tweaks and adjustments.

FTC Ring It Up Virtual World v1.0 Now Available!
The Robot Virtual World team is proud to announce their initial release of the FTC Ring It Up! virtual environment, just in time for kickoff! This year's virtual competition field features two new robots designed specifically for the game; the Scissorbot and the Gripperbot. The robots are completely programmable in ROBOTC and even use the same Logitech USB Remote Control as the real world competition, allowing teams to refine their programming skills, practice driving, and form gameplay strategies well in advance of their first matches.
Note that the new features in the virtual world require the latest version of ROBOTC, version 3.50.
Here's a video of the Ring It Up! virtual world in action:
New Robots
TETRIX Scissorbot features 4 driving motors, a scissor lift and a LEGO gripper:
The Scissorbot gripper is best at picking up tubes parallel to its gripper.
TETRIX Gripperbot features 2 driving motors, and arm motor and a LEGO gripper:
The gripper on Gripperbot is best at picking up tubes perpendicular to its gripper.
User Interface
The new and improved user interface allows you to switch between the robots, choose different starting positions, and tells you where the growing list of motors and sensors are connected:
Controlling the Robots
Sample code for programming the robots to move autonomously or via a Logitech USB Remote is installed with the level pack. It can also be downloaded here.
Don't have a Logitech USB Remote Control? No Problem! We've also added keyboard control for the robots when a ROBOTC program isn't running! The controls are as follows:
- "W" key: Robot moves forward
- "A" key: Robot turns left
- "S" key: Robot moves in reverse
- "D" key: Robot turns right
- "{" key: Gripper Closes
- "}" key: Gripper Opens
- ";" (semicolon) key: Wrist motor up
- "'" (single quote) key: Wrist motor down
- "<" key: Scissor lift / Arm motor up
- ">" key: Scissor lift / Arm motor down
Driver Camera View
Check out Camera view 4 to practice driving the new virtual robots from the same perspective you'll use in the competition.
Future Enhancements!
We're extremely excited about this release, but we're not done yet. Check out some of the enhancements that are on their way!
- Addition of "Autonomous Rings" pre-loaded on the robots
- Emulation of the IR Sensor and IR Beacon
- Dynamically calculated scoring
The FTC Ring It Up! virtual world can be downloaded here, or under the Available Level Packs section of the RVW Download Page.

I read where there were over 40,000 people, paying I guess an average of $75 per head, at that game in Dublin. How can we take talk of an Irish economy in crisis seriously? 40, 000 go to watch one of the worst teams in the word? And pay 75 bucks and upwards? Is there any other country in the world where Andorra playing the national selection would attract 40K? No way. The folks who went to that game in Dublin have more money than sense.
In comparison to Scotland, this was a very impressive result. Using similar stats as Sean - Scotland played a country with a population of 35,000. There were more Scotsmen in Hampden, than the population of Liechtenstein. Scotland won with a goal in the NINETY-SEVENTH minute.

Council okays special permit
City council members voted on Thursday, May 19, to allow a developer to build multi-family dwellings intended for short-term rental in an area between Avenue A and Cotter Boulevard and west of Oleander Street.
Because the request for a special use permit requires a city ordinance, Thursday's approval was only on the first reading. Ordinances require three public readings at city council meetings before they're official.
Short-term rentals are permitted in R-2 zoning, which is the zoning the area now carries. However, R-2 doesn't allow multi-family units, which is what developer Tom Culp wants to put in the area.
To get that, he had to ask for a special use permit from the city, effectively letting him apply a tourist zoning to the tract of land.
Culp's proposal shows 21 units on the property. Access would be from Farley Street to the west and Roberts Street to the northeast. There is a proposed density of 8.99 units per acre, according to the property layout.
The property, formerly part of the Island One Marine tract, caused debate in the city council earlier this year when owner Doug Frank asked that an alley that runs off Avenue A and dead-ends into the property fence be vacated. Frank said the alleyway might be useful later as access to the property or for a hike and bike path.
The council declined to vacate the alley but required a utility easement up it from property owners on either side.

Sports Massage Certificate (ITEC Level 4)
You must hold a Level 3 qualification in Massage (either Holistic Massage or Sports Massage) before you can undertake this course.
Qualification attained: ITEC Sports Massage Certificate, Level 4
Course duration: 10 contact days over a 6 month period
The format of this course is "fast-track", enabling students to attain their Sports Massage Diploma in 6 months. Attendance is full time for four days in the first month and four days in the second month (unlike most Further Education Colleges which offer this course spread over an entire academic year). Then 6 months later, there are two more days for the mock and final exams.
You will find other colleges that claim to get you through this course in three months. While this course is not academically burdonsome, it requires A LOT of coursework. 50 case studies, 50 hours of documented volunteer work at sporting events and several more evidenced treatments. We feel that most students will not find it possible to complete this in just 3 months. Even 6 months will be tough - like all our fast-track courses - especially for anyone in full-time work. But we know that 6 months is possible.
The Sport Massage Diploma is provides an excellent opportunity for the qualified Massage Therapist to further his or her knowldege of body therapy. During the course, students will learn special techniques that can be applied to a variety of common sporting injuries and conditions appropriate to Sport Massage and cover a wide range of topics relevant to sports and exercise, including:
- The changes that occur during exercise to the muscular system.
- The physiology of a muscle cell.
- The effects of stress on muscles during sport.
- The origin, insertion and action of a wide range of muscles.
- The changes that occur during exercise to the neurological system.
- The stresses and strains put on the spine and joints during sporting activities
- The possible causes and effects of a variet of diseases and disorders and their effect on specific sports
- The principles of sports training
- The stages of the healing process and the possible treaments available.
- The use of preventative and rehabilitative training to reinforce massage treatments.
- Methods of consultation
- The selection of appropriate massage, according to the client's condition and needs.
- A knowledge of common sports injuries that can be treated after medical approval.
The first 8 contact days are very practical and "hands-on". Students will be be guided through the more theoretical aspects of the Sports Massage Syllabus, but will be expected to undertake much of the studying required in their own time. Contact days will be primarily practical.
The Sport Massage Diploma course will allow successful students to joint the Sports Massage Association (SMA).
News dates for this course will be available soon. Please subscribe to our newsletter to be notified.

Quote of the Day: Scarlett Johansson on Her Co-Star's Butt
"[His butt] is really one of the brighter points of my life. I have asked Ben at times, when I was having a more difficult day, to just leave it out there for a couple more moments, just to brighten my day a little bit... I think it adds a little bit of hope in an otherwise dismal situation."
- Scarlett Johansson talks about admiring her Cat on a Hot Tin Roof co-star Ben Walker, who spends a large amount of time during the play in a towel (and occasionally without even that).

BRAND NEW's V-day Redesign
February 12, 2010
Today over at BRAND NEW (a fabulous site that shows before and afters, as well as sharing of opinions of corporate re-branding efforts) there is a great post about Valentines Day. If you live in one of the countries that celebrates this holiday with all the pink, red, chocolates, and roses… You've seen some tasteful Valentines "things" but moreso MANY untasteful, ugly, and tacky Valentines things.
A few of the writers of BRAND NEW took on the challenge of Redesigning Valentine's day. They tackled the Heart as an icon, the color pallette, as well as Cupid.
Below are the new "Cupids"…
What do you think about their effort? Like it or hate it, cast your vote here!

Creating interesting characters is very important to a story. The character has to be someone that you, as a writer, understand on an interior level. You know what he will do and what he won't do. That character has to be someone that the reader also wants to follow and to spend some time with, and is in many ways the key to keeping people turning the page.
So how do we go about that?
I open my double door pantry and start going through the shelves… hmmm, a can of this, a can of that…how about some of these spices on the door?
What on earth am I talking about? Well, let me tell you a little more.
I spend a lot of time observing people, even speaking in their accent if they speak unusually to my ears, (of course not to their face). I guess in a way I act out who I perceive that they are. Of course this representation is I myself living in a different circumstance, in perhaps a different culture, and taking on mannerisms of that life.
I ask God to show this to me as well. I ask how would he (the character) do this or do that? What would he chose? What is next thing that might happen? Does that feel right, does this feel right? And then I wait until I have the answer.
I also research and ask questions of people; how do they do the things that they do, the jobs that they have, or things that they enjoy. A person spends a lot of time each day at their work, they love it, they hate it; but they grow in it, and it changes them because they are interacting with other people; and often not people who would necessarily be friend choices. Watching people at work tells you a lot about them. You see personality manifested through their actions. As an illustrator, my job is showing the reader what is happening. That is a writer's job is as well. You want to show a lot about your characters through the way they move through their day or through a problem.
I am working on a young adult novel. It has been a long term project; in fact, I have been working on it now for over five years. I have tried to create a character of a mixed cultural background deriving the personality of Isaac, the principle character, from the Hispanic people of Northern New Mexico, with whom I have lived as neighbors and friends for many years. I also wanted to combine his personality with things I have read in Orthodox writings, wanting him to come from a background that has partly Orthodox roots. I went so far as to create a history for Isaac's grandfather as well, who, though not actively met within the book, has a major impact on the central character's consciousness and responses, and whose influence has greatly formed his character.
This is a road trip story, so I took the road trip. I know where my character is going, what these places look like, and how he will feel about those places before he gets there.
That kind of "story" gathering is an important part of the pantry that provides food for a book and the representation of its characters who are not only good to write about but also good to read about. With this method the adage, "Write what you know," is played out to the hilt.
A fine artist and children's book writer and illustrator, Claire received a BFA in art and education from the University of New Mexico. Working in a variety of different art forms for over thirty years, she has shown her work in galleries and museums and has received numerous awards. You can learn more about her published work at www.clairebrandenburg.com. Claire is married. She and her husband have two grown children. Beside her work for Children's Books and illustration, Claire is involved in the recording of Orthodox books and teachings on CD.

I got a tidy stack of books right before Christmas break and was really looking forward to some reading time while we were off of school. I got a lot more time than I planned on when I got sick. I got to spend chunks of days reading, when I wasn't napping and I enjoyed every minute of it.
First up, Prized. This is the sequel to Birthmarked which I read probably a year ago so I was eager to get my hands on this one. However, I wasn't as into this book as I was Birthmarked. It felt redundant in some ways because she escapes one messed up society and ends up in another one just as twisted. It didn't even leave me with a desire to read the third in the series which is kind of a disappointment.
The Violets of March. I raced through this short, easy read during one of my feverish days. In the beginning I was interested in the story, but things quickly seemed sort of contrived. The main character, heartbroken after a break-up, takes refuge at an aunt/family friend's house (I never figured out exactly how the realative fit in, but I did have fever in my defense). She discovers a conveniently placed diary and begins reading, meanwhile she's dating two guys she meets at the beach. Like I said, things move quickly in this book. The mystery in the diary turns out, of course, to relate to her own family. And, well, it's pretty easy to figure it all out.
But let's get to the good stuff. The Language of Flowers was a delightful surprise. I went into the book with no expectations and I loved it. I already mentioned it as one of my top books of the year. Victoria is a plucky, yet stubborn character that you can't help but root for, with complicated relationships, and plenty of baggage. The extra fun of the book with the meanings of flowers was icing on the cake I loved it all. You will too.
The Orchid House was one I kept getting mixed up a little with the Violets of March. So many flower books in one month is probably not a good idea. But, the Orchid House is the story of an old estate that has run out of heirs and is in the process of being sold. A mystery is uncovered and we go back in time to the original owners and their story. It was a good story. I enjoyed the time span and felt both stories were fleshed out well.
The Shoemaker's Wife is another winner by Adrianna Trigiani. All of her books are fabulous and this was no exception. The story of two young people who meet briefly in Italy and then again years later in America. You get to go through their whole life together and you'll love it.
Last in my stack was The House at Riverton by Kate Morton. I did not get to finish this one because someone put it on reserve so I couldn't renew it. I turned it in half finished. Hopefully I'll get to pick that one up again and give you a review in the future. But, it bears a close resemblance in many ways to Downton Abbey. In fact, I could hear some of the people from downstairs voices in many of the Riverton characters.

The premiere was a resounding success – for the American Le Mans Series and for Porsche. The first race on the street course in Baltimore in the US state of Maryland last year celebrated its debut in front of a record crowd of 150,000 spectators with works driver Wolf Henzler (Germany) scoring a commanding victory with his teammate Bryan Sellers (USA) in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. On 1 September, the race series showcasing the fastest sports cars in the world returns to Baltimore to contest round 8 of the series.
After its successful debut in 2011, the Baltimore Grand Prix takes off for the second time. The race runs over two hours. On this weekend, the American Le Mans Series is contested alongside the Indycar series, another very popular US championship,
The circuit
The 3.219 kilometre street circuit leads through the streets of Baltimore around the Convention Centre at the inner harbour. The course features twelve corners, some of which are extremely tight.
The Porsche pilots
Last year's winners Porsche factory pilot Wolf Henzler (Germany) and his American teammate Bryan Sellers contest the strongly represented GT class in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Falken Tire. Sharing the cockpit of the Flying Lizard Porsche are Porsche works drivers Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) and Patrick Long (USA), the winners of the Lime Rock round. The second 911 of the successful customer team from California is manned by Porsche works driver Marco Holzer (Germany) and team owner Seth Neiman (USA). Sascha Maassen (Germany) teams up with Bryce Miller (USA) in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Paul Miller Racing.
The most successful GT race car of the last years in the American Le Mans Series is the top model of Porsche Motorsport's customer racing vehicles. The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, which won the environmental "Michelin Green X Challenge" in 2010 as the GT vehicle with the best overall efficiency, headed into the new season with extensive modifications. Since the race in Laguna Seca, the car has received a new front splitter and is fitted with an adapted rear wing.
The schedule
The race in Baltimore starts on Saturday, 1 September, at 16.30 hours local time (22.30 hrs CEST) and is broadcast on the internet live on www.americanlemans.com/live. On Friday from 23.27 hours CEST, the GT qualifying is shown on www.porsche.com/alms-live.
Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport: "The Baltimore round is a real asset to the American Le Mans Series. At the premiere last year, 150,000 fans witnessed some great racing and a strong performance from our Porsche customer teams, crowned by Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers victory for the Falken Tire squad. Racing in a city like Baltimore with its huge catchment area is an important step on the way to bring the American Le Mans Series and its gripping racing even closer to the fans."
Joerg Bergmeister: "The debut in Baltimore last year was a great experience. But as fascinating as city races are, they are very stressful for the teams. The time schedule is normally very tight. And if you want to be successful it's particularly crucial to use the short practice sessions as good as you can to find the best possible set up for the track. With a race duration of just two hours and given that the GT class is so strongly represented, we're going to see some real tough action. But we're ready for it."
Patrick Long: "The layout of the Baltimore circuit has changed slightly from last year. Let's see if that helps us. After the somewhat difficult start to the season we've regained some of our former strength over the last few races. It would be great if we could continue this trend in Baltimore."
Wolf Henzler: "After winning there last year, Baltimore is of course a very special race. Our chances for a top placing are definitely greater than on a conventional race track. The reason for this is that our tyres work better on the narrow street circuit and we do well in the slow corners thanks to the traction of the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. Now we have to turn this to our advantage."
Marco Holzer: "I love racing on street circuits so I'm very much looking forward to my first race in Baltimore. Crowds of 150,000 must be incredible. Our car seems to suit this course, we saw that last year when the Porsche won."
All reports on the previous season can be found in our archive.

Nobody understands the importance of safety like the guy who gets shot out of a cannon. So for advice about keeping your ride between the ditches and your family buckled in, weturn to America's senior statesman of safety—the incomparableJohnny Nevada, and his loyal canine companion Scout.
You will need Flash 8 or better to view this content.

Johnny's no stranger to emergencies. So when America's favorite stuntman lays down the 4-1-1 on calling 9-1-1 and how to put together a car emergency kit (don't forget the gauze!), you better listen.
Here's Johnny Nevada's perfect recipe for surrendering the keys without losing your mind: 50% driver knowledge, 50% safe driving practices, and 50% your own household driving rules.
Car seat? Good. But not good enough. Look out for loose objects in the car—and check for stragglers with a pre-trip lap around the car. Johnny's here to make sure you travel safe the super-smart stuntman way.
You don't become America's favorite stuntman by taking rock-stupid chances. Johnny's Rule #5 is drive defensively—that means watching out for the other guy. Here's how to stay safe by staying ever-vigilant.
There's a drowsy driving epidemic—1/3 of drowsy drivers say they've fallen asleep behind the wheel. Johnny Nevada won't take this lying down. Check out his stuntman tips for beating back the road yawns.
America's favorite stuntman knows that a flat tire blowout doesn't have to mean blowing your whole trip. Here's how to stay safe if you have a flat—and how to keep your tires ship-shape to start with.
Johnny Nevada knows: cell phones are awesome — unless you're driving. Driving and texting or talking on the phone while driving are real bone-headed stunts.
America's favorite stuntman may have taken a few shots to the head, but he's not about to let smart drivers like you get bamboozled by these crazy driving and safety myths. Or is he?
Rule #1 for Johnny Nevada, America's favorite stuntman: be prepared and be awesome. (Rule #1a: respect the 'stache.) So don't tempt fate or wait too long to prep for driving when weather's not great.

This year, for the first time that I can recall, I'll have two animated features on my 10-best list. One is Finding Nemo, of which more when our lists issue runs. The other is a terrific first feature by the young French comic-strip creator and animator Sylvain Chomet. The Triplets of Belleville, Chomet has said, owes a debt to Disney's golden age, but nothing could be further from Mouse House cute than this weird and wonderful tale of a clubfooted Portuguese granny, aided by three beat-up former music-hall entertainers, taking on the French mafia to save her grandson. The movie's real antecedents, as a tiny poster of Monsieur Hulot's Holiday mounted on a wall modestly declares, are Jacques Tati, as well as Chaplin, Keaton and other giants of silent (or in this case, almost silent) comedy.
The heroes of The Triplets of Belleville, which is set in a hovel of a 1950s apartment house, are lonely, homely castoffs who, in the dogged pursuit of survival, manage to outmaneuver human and technological powers far superior to their own. Characters are defined by how they move: The indomitable Madame Souza clumps along on her huge iron shoe; her grandson, Champion, morphs from a fat little boy into a bony, cranelike sad sack with a beaky resemblance to Adrien Brody (or maybe a fugitive from an Edward Gorey illustration), forever bent over a bicycle as his grandmother trains him for the Tour de France. When a pair of rectangular mobsters abduct the boy, Madame Souza and her faithful dog follow them across the ocean to Belleville, a looming city of tall buildings and long shadows.
The Triplets of Belleville is gorgeous, but it's not pretty. Chomet does funny, scary and beautiful things with scale. Madame Souza, pedaling along in her homemade boat, is dwarfed both by the silhouette of the huge cargo ship that's carrying her grandson and, once arrived in Belleville, by the three stringy-haired crones, dirt-poor but surviving joyfully on dishes made from the frogs they fish out of a nearby swamp, who take her in and join the search for Champion. Triplets riffs amusingly on stereotypes of America and France — the identity of this scary city is announced by an obese Statue of Liberty, and one of Chomet's most hilarious creations is an obsequious waiter whose ludicrously elongated head keeps flattening into a horizontal bow. The soundtrack, with its ambient noise, its grunts and sighs that pass for human communication, its bits of Django Reinhardt and music made out of vacuum cleaners and bicycle spokes, is strangely moving. And while, like most animated films, The Triplets of Belleville was made by many people, this divinely eccentric movie feels as if it came straight to the screen from one man's wild and wantonly free imagination.

Brittany and I had to go to the local Supermarket to pick up some stuff I needed for work around the house. We had no sooner gotten out of our van before an Ex Dillon City Councilman floored me by saying "We really need to you to start blogging and recording City Council Meetings again".
Hey… What?!?!?!?!?!?
To say I was floored would be an understatement. I really had no idea how to reply to that statement – or the person making it. Let's see if I can explain -
History -
When we first moved back to Montana in 2005, I quickly reconnected with my Brother, Wulfgar. We were pretty much inseparable while we were growing up and our relationship had become very estranged during the time I was in the service and the two decades after that while I lived on the coast. I can't speak for him, but I always looked up to my younger brother and it hurt a lot that we had grown so far apart. It was amazing how much we have in common and we were able to bury the hard feelings enough to become best friends again.
I was really impressed with Wulfgar's life here in Montana and even more so with his success at political blogging. He was a huge influence in me starting to blog. I took a little different tact with blogging than he did, though. I focused primarily on local politics. Goddess knows, there was plenty enough shenanigans here in Dillon to provide me with TONS of articles. Our local Mayor and his pet hit attorney are pieces of work….
My blog was called "Pragmatic Revolt" and it rapidly became the bane of the local City Council and Mayor Malesich. By the beginning of 2006, I was attending all the city council meetings (and recording them) and much of their monkey business found it's way to the pages of my blog – often with video attached. I was threatened repeatedly by the Mayor and his hit attorney, Wilber Gilbert III (mustn't forget the III). They both made it abundantly clear how much they hated my presence at meetings and multiple efforts were made to silence me. Eventually, my ISP dropped me without warning and all I could get from them was "an attorney contacted them and threatened to sue". I wonder who that was?
Things went from bad to worse when my wife decided to run for City Council. The person she was running against was one of the Mayor's "boys" – constantly supporting the less than above board crap the mayor was doing. That, coupled with the two attempts to recall the mayor I was involved in, must have tipped the scales. Mayor Malesich had me investigated (he claims that the Mayor is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the city and he has the right). When he found out I had a suspended licence, he and the City Councilman my wife was running against worked together to have me arrested. This made the news locally and was even reported on by the Butte newspaper.
Interestingly enough, not a single city councilman spoke out against this blatant abuse of authority by the mayor – including the very same City Councilman that said I should be recording and blogging about the misdeeds being done right now. Not one. After the election that year where Malesich was able to win re-election with less than a majority because two people ran against him, thus splitting the votes, I was done blogging about the City's dirty laundry.
What makes this situation even more ironic is that the man who approached me about blogging the current fiasco claimed that one of the major ways Malesich was bypassing the public of Dillon was that he was arranging special council meetings during the work day to decide important issues so that the public couldn't comment. This is ironic because when I was blogging about the antics of the city council, one of my primary complaints with the specific councilman in question was that he was scheduling meetings during the work day.
I won't go back to blogging about local politics except in a general way. I won't go back to spending 40 hours a week researching issues, attending meetings, recording video, composing posts, and generally working my butt off for a public that simply doesn't give a crap about how they are being screwed over by the Mayor and his pet attorney. Moreover, if no one will speak out about his abuse of power in having a critic ARRESTED, I won't put my butt on the line again for these people. They can deal with this crap. I will exercise my right to vote against him and leave it at that.

Shelf sediments adjacent to the Herbert River delta, Great Barrier Reef, Australia

On the Great Barrier Reef shelf, terrigenous sediments adjacent to the Herbert River delta are strongly partitioned within the coastal zone, in common with the regional presence of a terrigenous inner-shelf sediment wedge. Partitioning is primarily controlled by wind-driven currents and waves associated with persistent southeast trade winds. Bottom-return currents provide the likely mechanism for episodic transport of fine-grained sediment in an offshore direction, although modelled bottom-return currents appear incapable of transporting much sediment seawards beyond the 20 m isobath. This depth corresponds to the observed outer limit of the nearshore sediment wedge

This excerpt taken from the DTPI 10-Q filed Feb 6, 2007. PART II.
We are involved in a number of legal claims or proceedings
concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
However, we do not expect that any of these matters,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect or
impact on our results of operation or financial condition.
As a result of the November 7, 2006 cash dividend
declaration, the Company hereby deletes in its entirety the risk
factor reported in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 entitled We
Currently Do Not Intend to Pay Dividends.
Other than the changes to the risk factors below, there have
been no other material changes to our Risk Factors as reported
in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
Revenue Could Be Adversely Affected by the Loss of a Significant
Client or the Failure to Collect a Large Account
We have in the past derived, and may in the future derive, a
significant portion of our revenue from a relatively limited
number of major clients. From year to year, revenue from one or
more individual clients may exceed 10% of our revenue for the
quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we had
one client that individually accounted for 13% of our net
revenue from continuing operations. If we lose any major clients
or any of our clients cancel or significantly reduce a large
projects scope, we would lose a significant amount of
revenue. In addition, if we fail to collect a large account
receivable, we could be subject to significant financial
Significant or Prolonged Economic Downturn Could Have a Material
Adverse Effect on Our Results of Operations.
Our results of operations are affected by the level of business
activity of our clients, which in turn is affected by the level
of economic activity in the industries and markets that they
serve. A decline in the level of business activity of our
clients could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and
profit margin. Although current economic conditions have
improved over previous quarters, future economic conditions
could cause some clients to reduce or defer their expenditures
for consulting services. Net revenue (before
expense reimbursements) related to continuing operations for the
quarter ended December 31, 2006 increased 28% compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 2005. We have implemented
cost-savings initiatives to manage our expenses as a percentage
of revenue. However, current and future cost-management
initiatives may not be sufficient to maintain our margins if
economic environment should weaken for a prolonged period.
Charter Documents and Delaware Law May Discourage an Acquisition
of Diamond.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws, and
Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our
stockholders. We may issue shares of preferred stock in the
future without stockholder approval and upon such terms as our
board of directors may determine. Our issuance of this preferred
stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a
third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from
acquiring, a majority of our outstanding stock. Our charter and
by-laws also provide that special stockholders meetings may be
called only by our Chairman of the board of directors, by our
Secretary at the written request of the chairman or by our board
of directors, with the result that any third-party takeover not
supported by the board of directors could be subject to
significant delays and difficulties. In addition, our board of
directors is divided into three classes, each of which serves
for a staggered three-year term, which may make it more
difficult for a third party to gain control of our board of
