Lady Hawks fall to Prophetstown 48-47 at Polo tournament
The comeback wasn't as big, but the outcome was much sweeter for the Prophetstown Prophets.
Riley Walters' layup with less than one second left sent the Prophets past the Oregon Hawks 48-47 at the Polo tournament Monday night. The one-point win avenged Prophetstown's 47-46 loss to the Hawks at the Oregon tournament on Nov.17, a game that saw a Prophets' rally from a 14-point deficit after three quarters but come up one point short.
"We didn't want that to happen again," said Walters, who had game-high totals of 23 points and eight rebounds. "It's nice to make that one last play to win it, and even things up a little bit."

Five years ago, in the Builders Association production of "Super Vision," the makeup artist Dick Page turned the actress Moe Angelos into a Sri Lankan grandmother. Now, for the multimedia show "Sontag: Reborn," currently at the Public Theater, he's transformed the performer into a young (and old) Susan Sontag. "It was an unusual mandate, because I don't normally get asked to make people look older, " Page said, referring to his usual beat: fashion photo shoots and runway shows.
To make the 40-something-year-old Angelos resemble Sontag in her 60s (the show is an adaptation of the writer's journals, during which Angelos channels the older Sontag in a video projected above her live performance, in which she's playing Sontag in her late teens), Page used the darkest shade from the Aprés Cream Camouflage Make Up Concealer Kit to draw in deeper lines around the mouth and crow's-feet. He also shaded around the eye socket line to make her eyes appear deeper set and sketched in frown lines and lines at the outer corners of her mouth. Finally, he used the kit's palest shade to create the illusion of puffiness under the eyes and to erase her lip color. The makeup artist approximated the intellectual's signature gray skunk stripe by combing through a salt-and-pepper wig with a mixture of silver and white cream colors from Make Up For Ever.
For Angelo's portrayal of the young Sontag, Page used Nanoblur Skin Corrector to make her skin more matte and smooth. "The company who makes it says it takes 10 years off in 40 seconds, and it does," Page said. He used a rosy pencil from Cargo to deepen Angelo's lip color and gave her cheeks a youthful flush with a bright pink Shiseido blush. (Page is the artistic director for Shiseido Makeup.) "In real life, this particular blush color is a bit jarring, but onstage it glows." He used another sleight of hand to up the glow factor. "I asked the lighting designer to place a little strip of L.E.D. lights along the inner edge of the desk, which bathes Moe in a wash of glowy light."

Alright so i was thinking of upgrading mainly my graphics card but maybe my RAM too. The thing is my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P which is Socket 775 and only supports DDR2 memory up to 1033mhz (the specs says 1336mhz but it's limited support). Here are the specs of my computer for more info: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P RAM: Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5 800mhz CPU: Intel Quad 2 Core Q9550 2833mhz Graphics Card: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6850 1GB So i was looking for some advice on a new graphics card and maybe possibly more RAM if needed. Thanks in advance!
don't bother upgrading the ram I would be looking at replacing the motherboard+CPU+ram anyway if you game DDR2 is expensive compared to ddr3 and your cpu is dated
Yeah that's what i thought, i've looked at the DDR2 prices and they're just ridiculous. And i don't think i'm ready to buy a new motherboard AND a cpu cause i consider the cpu i have is pretty decent. So i guess that just leaves the graphics card. As for what i use my pc for, it's mainly for gaming. EDIT: I forgot about my PSU, it's a 620W Antec High Current Gamer. And just in case, here are the specs for the motherboard just in case, http://ca.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2919&dl=1#sp
The processor is still "okay" but DDR2 is becoming a bottleneck these days since DDR3 systems typically have twice the memory bandwidth. Any modern SATA based system supports SSDs but IMO I would just save up for a new platform.
Monitor resolution? Frankly, I don't see anything bad in your setup, unless you're running >1080p. You have almost topped your 775 platform as far as memory and CPU power goes so really the best upgrade path would be a new rig. If you don't have the funds for that just OC your CPU. That DDR2-800 is a hindrance but not something to lose sleep over.
I'm inclined to agree. It will be more cost effective in the long run just to save up for a while and build a new rig.
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=P8Z68-VPRO-PB-R&cat=MBB $70 GeIL Pristine 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR... $34 Intel Celeron G540 Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz LGA 1155 65... $50 Total for a new SB build with room to upgrade $154USD hell id do it if i had the $$$
why don't you uninstall you are suggesting he replace a quad core with a dual core ? makes a lot of sense for someone that games dafuq is the matter with you no sense changing over to SB if you are gonna trade the quad core for a SLOWER single core and a sloweron no less ... so in a sense he would be wasting close to 100 bucks
thats a physical dual core SB machine and has no relation other then name to the celerons of old. performance charts peg it at a very capable chip outperforming X3 AMD machines and easily keeping up with quad core2 systems. not to mention the mobo is nothing to shake a stick at and would make a very acceptable stop gap when he decides to earn his money and buy a better chip? did you get your 2500k with dads credit card or did you work at the icecream stand? Do some research please, you are not ready for this ass wooping. Please grow up we can discuss this via PM i posted a viable upgrade plan and if sold right he will be able to afford the SB system with his current parts.
first of all sit your ass down scruby second of all uh... no I don't know where you are getting your benchmarks but everything I have seen puts the sb-sloweron below the c2q http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/celeron-g540-g440_6.html#sect0 it barely edges out the pathetically slow AMD x2 and compared to the core i3 its a joke and not even worth the shelf space the point is if hes gonna spend the money do it once and do it right =/ just because you can't afford decent hardware doesn't mean you should recommend junk to everybody else sheesh
your having fun trolling tonight arent you? The guy wants a way out and thats a cheap upgrade option. it gets him on the current gen and leaves him room to upgrade. Were do you get off telling me I cant afford components? what about any of your posts helps anyone? I mean we can play benchmark battle all day. http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/cpu/Intel Celeron Processor G540/compare But I suppose if you have a better idea that doesnt involve soaking up $700 EVERYONE would be more then happy to hear it.
My system is very similar to yours (see system specs) and I'm hitting 1920x1200 fine for general gaming (max textures, no AA since I like my jaggies). I'm quite satisfied with my current set-up. Is there anything about your system that made you want to consider an upgrade in the first place? Also, how much are you willing to spend? Your video card isn't anemic, so I'd leave that alone for now unless you want to max some super-intensive game, go multi-monitor, or have a 1440p screen. Your board can support up to 16GB, so that's an option. This is especially so if you have less than 8GB (you didn't tell us how much RAM you have). SSD is also a good choice to help with loading times. In my opinion, it's the best choice since it'll likely remain the most useful when you decide to get a new system later.
Play nice will you? Post about helping or move along. It's always easy to poke fun of others suggestions, especially when you don't ever make one. Let's try to be a bit more productive and a lot less petty.
How much ram do you even have LOL 4GB is enough. As far as an upgrade from you're 6850 we need a budget man LOL.
Oh wow, first of all, thanks for all the replies, really helpful! Sorry if i missed a few info hehe, i do have 4gb of RAM, i'm running on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and i run in 1920x1080 resolution. And to Solaris17, thanks for the suggestions. I do have a few concerns about them though. I have had some pretty bad experiences with Asus motherboards in the past and i'm not sure i am willing to try my luck once again. Honestly, i would rather go with Gigabyte since i've never had any problems related to their motherboards. But if anyone has some suggestions for motherboards i'm all ears. Second, i prefer Corsair memory even though they are more expensive, it always has been good to me. Personally, when i do upgrade to a new rig i will probably try to get the best stuff at reasonable pricing of course. It's not really an emergency to upgrade, my computer is still running games pretty good although sometimes not at maximum (like Metro 2033 or Crysis 1&2 for example), i just felt like looking into upgrades. As someone else said, it'd be more cost effective to save up for the best new rig possible. Finally, as for my budget for a new video card i would say between the 200$-300$ mark.
I was trying to see if I could find a "Combo Deal" like how I built mine CPU/MoBo/RAM bundles. Not coming up with much. Something "like" this(not a great combo anyway)But if you can find bundles like that(minus the HDD for example) it's an easy way to get upgraded
IF here were going for a CPU i wouldn't go lower than a i3 2100/3200 series. good value for the money
You can still live with that setup, maybe overclock the quad if you feel confortable and a new card will certainly help. Let's see, what games do you play? If you like Borderlands then B2 comes free with a GTX660Ti for $300. If you are willing to spend 20-30$ more and like Sleeping dogs and you like overclocking your card there's the HD7950. If you want to spend less next week there's gonna be the GTX660 at around $230 and there is also the HD7870 also with Sleeping Dogs)
I love the GA-EP45-UD3P I use it in my HTPC as I retired it from my main gaming rig. However With a 5870, 6Gb of DDR2, and a Q9650 oc'd to 4.0Ghz it plays any game I throw at it on 1920x1080. My advice is if you are planning on upgrading buy what your need most...a new video card. Then worry about Ram/CPU/MOBo later, since you can always transfer the video card to a new system..in the mean time since the CPU itself doesn't hold much value, overclock it. That motherboard is very capable for Overclocking as is your CPU. The 6850 isn't a POS either and can oc fairly well. You really shouldn't be having many issues unless you are gaming above 1920x1080 with full eye candy.
yeah, you don't need the latest and greatest to run current games, unless you have a 1440p or triple monitor setup. Still, if you're willing to switch platforms right away you could do so for about $350: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA ... Intel Core i3-2120 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65... G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDR... That Core-i3 is very competitive compared to your Q9550. You could also shave a few bucks on the motherboard if you don't need Crossfire or SLI support (GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6... , GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA ...). 8GB kits cost just a fraction more of 4GB kits so I would shoot for 8GB right away. But yeah, I'd say OC your CPU and GPU. Save for a new rig.

Comments about C International 1011446 Sorelle Cape Cod Toddler Rail - French White:
This toddler rail does exactly what I bought it for. It keep my little "tosser and turner" from falling out of her bed. However, the price is a little steep for what it is, they could have added the matching moulding on the bottom!

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) It seems male investors like to give their money to other men even when the product is geared toward female consumers.
This became clear last month when entrepreneur and co-founder of popular sports website BleacherReport.com Bryan Goldberg caused an uproar when he announced the launch of a female-focused website, Bustle.com. The uproar was not so much caused by his encroachment on the terrain of women-themed sites, but because he claimed he was carving out new territory dismissing a slew of existing websites such as Jezebel, The Hairpin and Bust.
Adding to the collective ire was Goldberg's bragging at having been granted $6.5 million to launch Bustle, then offering to pay female staffers $100 a day for up to six posts, which translates to $26,000 a year, assuming the gig is full time. (The ads for these positions have been removed from the Web).
By comparison, the women's websites already out there founded and run mainly by women often run on much more modest budgets, having been overlooked by investors despite their popularity.
In an open letter to Goldberg, the Bust editors decried that he "was actually able to launch a website, with a spiffy responsive design ... All because some other men gave him $6.5 million."
With $6.5 million, they could spiff up their own website and pay writers better much better than Goldberg seems willing to, they wrote.
That seems unlikely to happen; the vast majority of all investment money in the United States goes to male-led ventures. Specifically, only about 4% to 9% of venture capital funding goes to women, despite the fact that as of a decade ago, 28% of businesses were owned by women, employing more than 10 million people and generating $1.5 trillion in sales.
A report by business analysts the Diana Project, Gatekeepers of Venture Growth: The Role and Participation of Women in the Venture Capital Industry , found that at the turn of the century women represented less than 10% of high-level venture capitalists and had been leaving the industry at twice the rate of men.
Of the women venture capitalists that exist, the Diana Project estimated some 70% were in partnerships with other women-led companies. Additionally, women-owned firms start out with an average of only 64% of the capital of male-owned firms; less startup capital usually means slower business growth.
One would hope to see more gender parity in investments made in the millennial generation, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
In 2010, PayPal founder Peter Thiel piloted the Thiel Fellowship, which offers $100,000 to approximately 20 young adults under age 20 each year to drop out of college temporarily or permanently to pursue projects or business ideas focusing on science or technology.

Police Calm Rioting Teens Peacefully With Ice Cream Music
Thursday, June 17th, 2010 (No comments yet) |
This is much better than beatings and bullets:
Nursery rhymes set to music are deeply uncool. Just ask the bottle-throwing teenagers on the Twinbrook estate on outskirts of west Belfast. Ice cream music was played to them as they misbehaved and it stopped them.
The rest of the article talks about how they were trying to solve the issue with humor and not violence, and yet these police heroes instead got scolded by their command. Not only was this awesome, there are many other examples where a non-violent solution was effective.
Further down in the article is an example where a Los Angeles gang was removed from an area by renaming the street "Gay Street" and "Pansy Square". A commenter mentions that a New York bus terminal was cleaned up by playing classical music instead of rock. And of course there's the Arizona sheriff who found that making prisoners wear pink underwear made them less likely to fight each other.

It does have a full bodied taste. Can taste the Carmel and Toffee. Aftertaste is pleasant. Not a great beer, but a good one. First tasted a couple of weeks ago, it was good enough to buy again when I couldn't find a limited I was looking for tonight. And good enough to buy again.

Brown colour, not very big head, but it leaves a crown. Smells of toffee, floral, maybe some fruit. Medium body, fizzy palate, good carbonation. Taste of fruits, with some chocolate and fruits, some liquorish dry finish. But in all in all, I'd just say a good beer, not an extraordinay one. Serving type: bottle 12-13-2013 19:54:55 | More by janubio SmashPantsAustralia 3.5/5 rDev -7.9% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Bottle: a typically cool embossed brown 500mL bottle, a fancy label as well and a cool name. Good package. Appearance: very dark amber tending towards mahogany. Only a piffling head pops up and settles to a creamy half-finger. Minimal lacing. Aroma: a fairly demure aroma but pleasant enough, with caramel and toffee, pine hops and a touch of cocoa chocolate. Taste: more of those caramel and toffee flavours with some light roast toffee and some very pleasant floral and herbal characters. If anything, a little light in flavour also. Aftertaste: the flavours linger reasonably well, with some hop bitterness. Mouth feel: A decent mouth feel - medium to heavy body with a lower to moderate carbonation. Suits the style. Overall: not a bad English Bitter at all, though perhaps a bit light in both aroma and on the palate for my liking. A case of 16 x 500mL bottles is AU$90 (2013) which isn't too bad for I think one or two every now and then.

F: light, just a hair slick/watery with moderate carbonation; not fantastic but solid enough and probably closer to style than i realize O: LOVE IT! no one single component of this brew stands out as a champ, but as an easy-to-get English pale ale (ESB) for me in my hometown, it gives me all the notes I want from the style. fruity, sweet, some bread malts, some caramel, just enough "bitter" to balance it out and a nice dry finish that isn't wearing me out. full disclosure: my numbers are probably 0.25 to 0.5 high because I can't get enough of this style. also, I can't get Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Pale Ale in my hometown, so this one serves as a fine replacement.

The head, tinted yellow, billows pretty nicely at nearly two fingers' height before easing down to a strong half-finger that never recedes. It leaves behind chunky patching to almost the very bottom. The balance between hops and malts is evident on the nose, and there's a good evenness struck between perfume, pine & herb and toffee, caramel and biscuit. The dryness is there but not as evident in the aroma as it becomes on the tongue. There's a slight dark fruits note adding a light sweetness in the finish. The aroma doesn't quite have the strength of the flavor, in which all of the characters mesh without any giving way too much. Crisp with a semi-dryness brought on not by herb or leaf like many bitters, but encouraged by the hops, it's also softly but firmly carbonated with a solid crisp bite to it and some creaminess, too.

No mention of the metric system in sight. Bottle dated 04/06/2014. Seen this around not infrequently, but never tried it. A: Dark amber/copper with nice clarity. 1 finger white head with a fade to a thin coat by about 3-4 minutes. Quite a bit of lacing. Very nice. S: Light and vaguely fruity. There is a specific scent that I recognized immediately, but I can't put my finger on it. Some malt. Overall the smell is nice, but very subdued. As it warmed I actually started catching a hint of some aged cheese-type funkiness. Weird, but not unpleasant. My major complaint is an overall paucity of scent quantity. T: Very nice, full, solid malt right out of the gates. Followed by a notable presence of English hops. Mostly dry finish with strong grain presence. Bread. Maybe some hints of light fruit. Pretty good. M: Full with a good body. Moderate to high carbonation. A bit higher than expected. Starts to build in the gut a bit over the course of the pint (& 0.9 US FL. oz) O: Drinks well. Met expectations. Straight shooter. Quality brew. Would drink again, but wouldn't search it out. Prost! Serving type: bottle 10-12-2013 23:49:21 | More by fourstringer |

Olympus E-5 and Panasonic LX5 firmware update.
Today it's firmware update party! Also Olympus announced a new Olympus E-5 firmware: "Firmware version 1.2 ensures the movement of the dial on the optional HLD-4 battery grip matches the movement of the selected AF point.". You need the Olympus Digital Camera Updater software to upgrade the E-5: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_downloads_updater.asp
It is not a Micro Four Thirds camera but many on 43rumors do own it and the news is worthy to be posted
Panasonic released a major firmware upgrade for the Panasonic LX5 high end compact camera. You can download it here: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/LX5/index.html
The main changes are:
Auto Focus speed-up.
[HIGH ISO NR] has been added to the [REC] menu.
Improved auto white balance performance.
[ACTIVE MODE] has been added to the [MOTION PICTURE] menu.
The AF/AE Lock operated by half-pressing the shutter button has been improved.
When [MF] is set, you can make fine adjustments to the focus using a simpler operation than before.
The position and size of the AF area you have set are now stored.
The upper limit of the shutter speed in Manual Exposure Mode has been raised. (Max 250 seconds approximately)
[MINIATURE EFFECT] has been added to My Colour Mode.
[MONITOR] / [VIEWFINDER] has been added to the [SETUP] menu.
And those are the direct LX5 search links at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.
I've been waiting for an LX5 firmware update! I haven't really got the chance to use my camera recently so I don't notice much difference. However:
Did they add the 'LCD Display' menu item in Setup? It lets you adjust the screen's brightness, saturation, red tint and blue tint. I don't remember it being there before
Also, when changing things like ISO items, the little pop up menu has a new animation.
Means that you can release the shutter half-way in the reverse direction after taking the shot and you shall not lose the AF/AE lock.
Agreed! Also the white balance seems much better indoor
What does "The AF/AE Lock operated by half-pressing the shutter button has been improved." mean?….can i lock just the AF with half pressing the shutter button.
LX5 Owner here. Autofocus is definitely improved. Pulling numbers out of thin air, I would say at least 25% faster. At least.
Don't really care about the other updates though, but I wished I had the electronic viewfinder…
Ok, how about fixing up the display overlays then? How come I still can't shift my focus point around and have histogram active in live view… or what about grid lines?
With the LX5 Panasonic show that they understand how to support a compact camera. Olympus need to step up to the plate and fix the XZ-1 issues and show the same.
Wow, now it is boring, if you don't buy a beta-version kamera and have to update it every week.
Olympus makes the job before they own the money with the kamera.
I think this is very good! -
what a boring update for the E5, they could have at least added some new sound effects or something to spice it up lol..

While grabbing some lunch yesterday, I came across this old espresso at the Nashoba Brook Bakery. It looked ancient and beautiful. The machine was commandeering a corner by the front door; a representation of what was then. "They don't make them like they used to," an older gentleman said while approaching from behind me. This struck me as curious, so I asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that this thing made better espresso than today's machines?" "Yup. The machine in my restaurant works nothing like this one. The new ones don't have enough power. Too bad these old ones are too big and bulky. Good luck trying to get this in the front door. You would need 3 guys to just pick it up." As the guy headed down the ramp towards the cash register, I became to wonder why I was so quick to judge this old machine. Though we have thousands of objects and devices that we use every day, are they really any better than their predecessors? Change of Perspective Redesign something you come in contact with every day.

Lost in the Canucks recent strong play is the fact a major weapon in David Booth is still out.
Booth anxious to return
"It's really frustrating and I wish it didn't happen," said Booth. "I thought I was playing better and now it's a process of getting back there. This was my third day on the ice and I've only been skating for about 15 minutes. I can't do the reaction stuff, stops and starts and changing direction. ... I've been off three weeks, or whatever it was, and it feels like three months."

Precise tonal control on a 2-channel overdrive.
Housed in a beautiful, powdercoated blue 16-gauge steel enclosure, the Fulltone Ful-Drive 2 pedal is capable of everything from clean boost to raw, non-compressed overdrive via its two switchable channels. With Volume, Tone, Overdrive, and Boost knobs along with toggle switches for selecting Vintage/CompCut modes and MOSFET/Standard overdrive styles.
MOSFET and Standard modes each deliver their own clipping style, with the MOSFET adding more bottom end and roundness to the sound. The pedal's Tone knob is an effective presence control that can smooth out or add upper harmonics. Vintage mode provides a traditional midrange bump.
The second, footswitchable Boost channel, with its own separate distortion control, is perfect for medium- to higher-gain overdrive with a more singing, violin-like sustain.
Named the Best Stompbox of 2006 by Guitar Player magazine, it'll do great things for your sound.
A history of overdrives, plus a clean boost, in one enclosure. Order the Fulldrive2 today!

Expect to hear F-15s over Portland in coming nights
Parents Of Marine Who Rescued Downed F-15 Pilot Speak
The parents of a marine pilot who rescued a downed Air Force F-15 pilot in Libya talked about their son's rescue mission.
Captain Erik Kolle, 32, is safe after rescuing an airman who ejected from his F-15 after an engine malfunction.
Thomas and Karin Kolle said their son doesn't know what all the fuss is about because he was just doing his job.
Thomas Kolle was following the story in the Internet when he learned that Ospreys were involved in the rescue.
"First thing I thought was that there was a possibility that Erik, being an Osprey pilot, might have been involved in the mission," said Thomas.
A few hours later Thomas Kolle got an email from his son.
"It was very short and to the point," said Thomas. "It said, 'Dad, we landed about a hundred yards from the guy. It took him about five seconds to get on the aircraft, and we high-tailed it out of there.'"
The F-15 had crashed about 25 miles east of Venghazi, Libya.
Erik and his co-pilot found and rescued the downed pilot when they saw a flare on the ground.
Karin said her son told her the rescue mission was conducted without any shots being fired.
Kolle has been a marine for the past 13 years. He trained for two years to fly an Osprey.
"He was picked as the only one out of his class to fly the Osprey," said Karin. "So I think it was all like he meant to do this."
"I was very proud of all the people who participated in the rescue and also thankful that the pilot was rescued," said Thomas. "(There) obviously could have had another outcome, which might not have been as pleasant."
Thomas said he had a feeling Erik would be involved because prior to his deployment to the Mediterranean Erik had been through some specialized night flying certification. The rescue mission took place in the dark.
This is Captain Erik Kolle's third deployment overseas.
F-15 Crew ejects from plane during malfunction
USS Mount Whitney, Mediterranean Sea - Two crew members ejected from their U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle when the aircraft experienced equipment malfunction over northeast, Libya, March 21, at approximately 10:30 p.m. CET.
Both F-15 crew members ejected and are safe.
The F-15 aircraft, based out of Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, was flying out of Aviano Air Base in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn at the time of the incident.
The cause of the incident is under investigation.
The identities will be released after the next of kin have been notified.
Joint Task Force Odyssey Dawn is the U.S. Africa Command task force established to provide operational and tactical command and control of U.S. military forces supporting the international response to the unrest in Libya and enforcement of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1973. UNSCR 1973 authorizes all necessary measures to protect civilians in Libya under threat of attack by Qadhafi regime forces.
NASA hopes to quiet sonic booms with F-15 Testbed plane
NASA experiments with F-15 Testbed Plane for silencing sonic booms
The quest for a supersonic airplane that can quietly fly passengers over populated areas isn't always about exotic airframes and developing futuristic shapes. Supersonic aircraft have been flying for more than 60 years, but much of the work to lessen the boom of supersonic flying is still focused on learning more about the shock waves that cause the window rattling noise.
The current research being done at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center is to develop probes that could be flown on an airplane flying in the supersonic wake of another airplane. Right now testing is being done with the probes on the belly of the F-15 testbed airplane, but in the future they would be mounted in clean air on the nose.
"Using these probes can be a real benefit in understanding and modeling the generation of shock waves and their associated sonic booms," said Dryden research engineer Dan Banks. "They could allow us to accurately define the near-instantaneous flight conditions of the aircraft being probed, while defining that airplane's flow field."
In the same skies where the first supersonic flight took place back in 1947, NASA's recent efforts are focused on developing the technology needed to get real time data of how shock waves are generated and their behavior during flight.
Flying at supersonic speeds is nothing new, but it is only permitted in restricted areas or over the ocean because of the sonic booms created when the shock waves from the aircraft reach the surface. In order for supersonic flight to be allowed over more populated areas, researchers in recent years have been investigating ways to lessen the shock waves emanating from the aircraft.
Eventually the NASA researchers hope to increase their understanding of the shock waves so the noise on the ground can be lessened and supersonic flight can become more routine.

Firefighters simulated egress aircrew at Seymour Johnson AFB
Posted by admin in F15 News, F15 Trivia on February 21st, 2011
On Feb. 15, Firefighters from the 4th Civil Engineer Squadron practiced extracting a simulated incapacitated aircrew member from a simulated disabled F-15E Strike Eagle during egress training at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (AFB) in North Carolina.
The egress process begins when the firemen receive notification of an aircraft emergency. When they arrive on the scene they access the situation. After the quick assessment they extinguish all fires and hazards. Once the scene is safe based on the conditions they face a decision about best way to remove the aircrew members.
The second a fireman or ladder touches the aircraft the team has exactly 90 second to safely remove the F-15E Strike Eagle aircrew. The personnel extraction times vary depending on the airframe and the number of personnel onboard.
At Seymour Johnson, the firefighters must complete egress training on the F-15E Strike Eagle and the KC-135R Stratotanker quarterly.

4th FW leadership honors outstanding performers
On Feb. 5, members of the 4th Fighter Wing gathered to honor their teammates who excelled throughout the year during the base's annual awards banquet.
Those recognized during the ceremony ranged from first term Airmen to those who retired from active-duty and accepted civilian jobs on the base. The annual award nominees were treated to a base tour the day before the event where they learned about F-15E Strike Eagle munitions, and the missions of those who work in the explosive ordinance disposal flight, the air traffic control tower, the fire department and the military working dog kennels.
The 4th Fighter Wing commander, Col. Patrick Doherty, presented each of the nominees with a medallion at the start of the evening to set them apart from their peers during the banquet.
"Everyone who was nominated is a winner," Colonel Doherty said. "You are all the back bone of this base, the best of the best here at Seymour."
When the evening's events concluded, 12 F-15 Airmen received the honor of being named the top achievers on the base.
"Receiving this level of recognition is such an honor," said Airman 1st Class Armelyn Braceros, the Airman of the Year and a 4th Medical Operations Squadron health services manager journeyman. "I feel extremely blessed and a little overwhelmed because winning this award was beyond my expectation. This simply proves that through hard work and determination, you'll be able to achieve anything you put your mind to."
Kimberly Huskins Webb, the Senior NAF Civilian of the Year and 4th FW library director, said she felt honored to be recognized for her dedication to her customers.
"As a former Air Force dependent, I truly believe in the mission of the library to meet the needs of dependents, active duty, retirees and students of this base," she said. "Even after being a librarian for more than 20 years, 17 years before coming here four years ago, I have never been more proud and dedicated to meeting the informational and recreational needs of such great people as those associated with the Air Force."
Mrs. Huskins Webb, who shares her award with her staff members, has overseen several projects to enhance the services and events for their customers.
"The three big programs we had during 2010 included a local author night in February, a professional story teller in June and another story teller for the children's Summer Reading Program celebration party in July," Mrs. Huskins Webb said. "More than 100 people attended the storytellers and approximately 40 people attended the author night. I don't think there has been an author night like we had with four local authors before, and it has been years since we have had any performers for the children."
Master Sgt. Wayne Powell, 4th Force Support Squadron force management operations flight chief, earned the Volunteer of the Year title. Sergeant Powell is a dedicated volunteer with a range of organizations including the N.C. State Prison system, the American Red Cross and JROTC. In addition, he traveled to Kentucky to help with a construction project, organized a coat drive and coordinates volunteers to feed hungry people.
"This award is special because volunteering is something I love to do," the Clovis, N.M. native said. "I appreciate the recognition but do not expect it."
Sergeant Powell encourages others to dedicate time to helping in the community, but to volunteer for the right reasons.
"Don't volunteer to win awards; do it because it means something to you," he said. "Awards will come and go, but the lives you change will last forever. Everyone needs a hand sometime in their life. If you are the one capable of giving it, why not? Sometimes that is all it takes to change a person's life."
Earning an award is not going to cause F-15 Airman Braceros to become complacent in her job.
"This encourages me to do so much more and to keep striving for even bigger and better things," the Honolulu native said. "I find it truly inspiring when my siblings tell me that I am one of their greatest role models and what I do inspires them to also work hard and keep aiming for success. It means the world to me knowing the fact that my family is extremely proud of what I do, and that they are there supporting me every step of the way."
Like the other award winners, Airman Braceros recognizes that she did not earn this award strictly on her own, that it took the support of those around her.
"It took a lot of sweat and hard work but ultimately, I would not have been able to accomplish as much as I did if it weren't for having supervisors who truly cared for their Airmen," she said. "Their mentorship and leadership inspired me to do many things that I would never have been able to do on my own. It is their unwavering support which helps me keep going and encourages me to continue to set positive examples to my fellow Airmen."

South Korea speeds up combat fighter purchase
According to the Jan. 30 Yonhap news report, South Korea will bring forward its planned purchase of an advanced fleet of combat fighters with stealth capability to 2015, a project estimated at 10 trillion won ($9 billion).
The move comes as tensions persist on the Korean peninsula as the South is concerned about North Koreas's missile building, while China confirmed earlier this month it had held its first test-flight of a stealth fighter jet.
U.S. and European defense companies have been gearing up for the third phase of South Korea's fighter modernization program to replace decades-old F-4E and F-5E/F jets that have been involved in several fatal crashes in recent years.
Boeing Co F-15 fighters, Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 multinational Joint Strike Fighters and EADS Eurofighter jets are likely to join in the competition.
"There is a consensus building within the government to speed up the next-generation fighter project," Yonhap quoted an unidentified government source as saying.
"A budget of 300 million won is earmarked for the research and development this year, but (the government) could set aside additional money through a budget adjustment if needed."
Under the original timetable, South Korea would receive proposals from defense companies early next year and pick one in August 2012 to introduce fighter jets with stealth capability between 2016 and 2020.

10 Scariest NSA Secrets Exposed by Snowden; Why Natives Need to Know
The scariest revelation to come out of whistleblower Edward Snowden's National Security Agency leaks is that everything you've ever known or suspected about government spying, including the use of sinister-sounding code-names, is true -- and then some.
In early June, The Guardian began publishing articles by journalist Glenn Greenwald about the United States government's top-secret spying on US citizens through their phones and internet use. News of the mass surveillance programs set off an ongoing international storm of controversy over security and the ethics around the idea of the federal government acting like the government in George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984, where "Big Brother is watching you."
Greenwald soon disclosed that it was Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old American computer specialist and former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, who had downloaded a trove of top secret documents from NSA systems concerning several top-secret US and British government surveillance programs. The disclosure of Snowden's identity was made at his request. "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he said.
Snowden had fled the U.S. in anticipation of Greenwald's story breaking. In early July, Indian Country Today Media Network's Washington bureau chief Washington bureau chief Rob Capriccioso speculated about whether Snowden could find asylum with an American Indian tribe. The answer was no, because the U.S. government would almost definitely barge onto the "sovereign" Indian land to grab Snowden and lock him up -- federal prosecutors had charged Snowden with espionage in June. Snowden has since found asylum in Russia, which refused to extradite him, straining the relationship between the two countries.
But the issue of mass surveillance raises questions about the impact of government spying on Indians. While the totalitarian vision of Big Brother spying on our conversations and emails and stalking us through cyberspace is scary for everyone, are American Indians more vulnerable to being swept up in the frenzy of the hunt for terrorists? The government says the massive, indiscriminate sweeps of citizens' phone calls, emails and other information are to help stop terrorist attacks before they happen, but consider how easily it linked Indians and terrorists recently. In 2011, the Obama administration casually used Geronimo, one of the most revered figures in American Indian history, as the codename for Osama bin Laden and the operation to assassinate him. That same year, government prosecutors compared the Seminoles to terrorists and cited Andrew Jackson's genocidal wars against the Florida Indians as a precedent for the prosecution of Al Qaeda suspects. During the 2012 presidential campaign, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich also conjured up Jackson as a model for the way the U.S. should approach its "enemies" today. "Kill them!" he said.
Is there reason to fear that the government would use information it seizes from phone calls and the Internet to launch "counter-terrorist" actions against sacred land advocates or indigenous activists involved in the struggle for land rights or protesting against devastating proposals like the controversial Keystone XL pipeline or other extraction projects? According to Revenue Watch, American Indian lands include an estimated 30 percent of the nation's coal reserves west of the Mississippi, as much as 50 percent of potential uranium reserves, and up to 20 percent of known natural gas and oil reserves. The lands also may contain rare earth minerals, increasingly sought after by powerful multinational corporations for use in manufacturing – especially the manufacturing of the electronic devices the government sweeps with its state-of-the-art mass surveillance tools.
Should we be afraid, very, very afraid? Decide for yourself. Here are some of the key revelations from Snowden's leaks:
1. Big Brother can force Big Companies to roll over.
The federal government forced Verizon and other giant telecommunication companies to spy on their customers. The NSA, on a request from the FBI, indiscriminately collected the telephone records of millions of US Verizon customers – regardless of whether they were suspected of wrongdoing -- under a top secret court order granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The order allowed the collection of massive amounts of "metadata" or transactional information -- the numbers of both parties on a call, location data, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls, but not the contents of the conversation.
2. Big Brother can forbid Big Companies from telling you they rolled over.
Verizon was not only forced to spy on its customers, but also expressly barred from disclosing either the FBI's request for its customers' records or the court order itself.
3. Constitutional right to privacy? You don't have one anymore.
President Obama assured the public that "Nobody is listening to your telephone calls," and minimized the inconvenient truth that the government had violated the Constitutional protection of privacy in the Fourth Amendment . "[The collection of this data] help us prevent terrorist attacks and the modest encroachments on privacy. . . was worth us doing," Obama said.
4. Remember when they said they weren't reading your e-mails? They were reading your e-mails.
But another Guardian report disclosed that the NSA was accessing the content of emails. The agency had obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants through a program called Prism, which grabbed both metadata and the content of search history, file transfers, live chats and emails.
5. It seems you can't trust Big Brother OR the Big Companies.
The Prism program was documented in a 41-slide PowerPoint that claimed the program is run with the assistance of the companies, but "all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment. . . denied knowledge of any such program," the report said. Google said in a statement: "Google cares deeply about the security of our users' data. We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to time, people allege that we have created a government 'back door' into our systems, but Google does not have a back door for the government to access private user data." Whom to believe?
6. Big Brother is collecting an obscene amount of data.
The Guardian reported on the use of the sinister-sounding "Boundless Informant" , a powerful data-mining tool developed by the NSA to collect, record and analyze where its intelligence comes from, "raising questions about its repeated assurances to Congress that it cannot keep track of all the surveillance it performs on American communications," the report said. Another document showed the agency collected almost three billion pieces of intelligence from US computer networks over a 30-day period ending in March. Who can resist wondering if their emails were among the pieces?
7. A surprising number of people can access and analyze this obscene amount of data.
In July the Guardian reported on another sinister-sounding NSA program – XKeyscore—that allows analysts with no authorization to search through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals. NSA training materials described XKeyscore is its "widest-reaching" system for developing intelligence from the internet.
8. Your secure and encrypted e-mail is neither.
Another set of documents revealed that Microsoft collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, the Guardian reported. The documents show that Microsoft helped the NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be unable to intercept web chats on the new outlook.com portal. The NSA already had pre-encryption stage access to email on Outlook.com, including Hotmail. Microsoft worked with the FBI this year to allow the NSA easier access via Prism to its cloud storage service SkyDrive, which now has more than 250 million users worldwide, and with the FBI's Data Intercept Unit to "understand" potential issues of a feature in Outlook.com that allows users to create email aliases.
9. Now that Microsoft owns Skype, your Skype calls are fair game.
In July last year, nine months after Microsoft bought Skype, the NSA boasted that it had "tripled the amount of Skype video calls being collected through Prism," The Guardian reported.
10. It's a team sport, and you're outmatched.
The report also revealed that material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport."
If that isn't enough to scare anyone, consider the impact of the government's secret surveillance programs on a free press -- the foundation of a free society. On August 18, British security agents detained Greenwald's partner, David Miranda, for nine hours at London Airport under the British Terrorism Act of 2000 . Officials confiscated Miranda's mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles. "This is a profound attack on press freedoms and the news gathering process," Greenwald said. Miranda's detention and the seizure of large amounts of his possessions, included research data he had collected, "is clearly intended to send a message of intimidation to those of us who have been reporting on the NSA and [its British equivalent]. The actions of the UK pose a serious threat to journalists everywhere."
They also make it clear "that it would be highly unadvisable for Greenwald (or any other journalist) to regard any electronic means of communication as safe," Alan Rusbridger wrote in a Guardian report dated August 19. "The Guardian's work on the Snowden story has involved many individuals taking a huge number of flights in order to have face-to-face meetings. Not good for the environment, but increasingly the only way to operate. Soon we will be back to pen and paper."
When I was the Headman of my
When I was the Headman of my tribe here in California, we held a war dance, declared war on the US and its agencies of mass destruction of tribal rights, sacred places and culture. We declared that the actions of the BIA and BOR and others constituted "cultural genocide" against a sovereign people. We continued to press this message in presentations made in south, central, and North America. I wanted the government to listen in. I was not afraid of them then and I am still not. Not one of the agencies cared that we were telling the truth on their inaction's and overt racist activities against native peoples everywhere. So now, they have the Wiki leaks and Snowden telling people to beware of "big brother". I say, do not be afraid of your own voice folks, keep telling the truth and never roll over and forget the generations before and those to come. We owe our culture and our grandparents that much.
Echelon is the data stream
Echelon is the data stream sifter used 20 years ago to listen to 2 mil data streams for words like "bomb" or "kill" etc. Later, Carnivore was added as the database "sifter" to mine personal information from bank cards, auto club, medical and other electronic "foot prints' assembled into a profile of an individuals life. Got arrested in Las Vegas?, it goes on your permanent record and stays there forever.
As a requirement for licensing of computer programs (End License User Agreement--ELUA) the software manufactures must provide the backdoor code to to the US government.
I have had local, federal and military surveillance even though I am just protecting my land and people from nuclear threats and hazards caused by the US testing of weapons of mass destruction on my property in violation of international treaty, the Treaty of Ruby Valley. Without a context for understanding these type of intrusions and how the "victim' may perceive the intrusion, you may think they are crazy.
Be wise in all your actions.

TRI Awarded $10,500,000 for National Center on Deaf-Blindness
Oct. 11, 2013
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) has awarded the Teaching Research Institute at Western Oregon University a five-year, $10,500,000 grant to operate the National Center on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB). The center will serve as a national hub for professional development, resources, and information to serve children who are deaf-blind, their families, educators and other professionals that serve them.
D. Jay Gense, NCDB director, notes that the new national center will "positively impact the lives of children and students (ages 0-21) who are deaf-blind, as well as their families, across the nation. Deaf-blindness is the lowest of all low incidence disabilities in the United States. Serving the needs of children who are deaf-blind is highly specialized, and we are proud to receive this funding from the U.S. Department of Education to provide needed national resources."

Open Hands, Open Access
Sept. 16, 2013
In order to address the challenge of creating high-quality, open-access intervener training materials, the National Center on Deaf-Blindness has been deeply engaged over the past 6 months with parents of children who are deaf-blind and professionals with expertise in deaf-blindness to create an initial series of eight learning modules called "Open Hands, Open Access." View introductory video on YouTube.
The modules are being developed using a participatory process that involves 24 parent leaders, teachers, interveners, state deaf-blind project staff, and a university faculty member. Participatory methods like this for creating relevant learning materials for communities are not only respected by educational leaders around the world, they are a means of incorporating the wisdom, experiences, and passions of those who have been "walking the path" (Taylor, 2005).
Prevalence and Significance of Abnormal Tactile Responses in Young Children with Autism
Oct. 2, 2013
The North American Journal of Medicine and Science has published an article written by Louisa Silva, MD, and Mark Schalock from the Teaching Research Institute citing the need for more research on the link between tactile abnormalities and self-regulatory delays. Data was collected from 266 pre-school children with autism and typical development. This is both novel and important to the understanding of developmental delay in autism. In addition, the gap in current knowledge regarding the diagnostic evaluation of the sense of touch in young children with autism is reviewed, and data suggestive of signs of tactile impairment are presented.

to create melodic, upbeat pop songs while at the same time squeezing out as much
music as possible from the limited hardware of the Nintendo Game Boy.
