DescriptionThe Dead Horse Loop Trail is not actually a loop in itself. Other trails combine to make this a loop.
Riding the Dead Horse Loop is an excellent exercise in exercise. The climb is long and mostly gradual, including some doubletrack to keep the excitement at bay at times. This is the kind of trail that grows on you the farther you get into it.
Begin riding from Late Night Parking west through the 3rd tunnel to the south side of Hwy. 160 on doubletrack. Boring desert riding for the first couple miles gradually turns to singletrack which gets better as you proceed. A few steep washes with add enthusiasm. Before you know you're riding through fun scenic terrain. A couple more short doubletrack sections (watch closely for the turns back to singletrack) and you are presented with Satan's Escalator....a series of switchbacks on a steep climb. Mortals walk most of Satan's Escalator. At the top you are faced with a choice of jeep road, hang right and look for the trail to your left in a short distance.
Wilson's Tank Overlook is your next attraction. A very nice view point. Following the track in this area can be difficult as it is broken. You'll be heading back north towards a thrilling descent called 3 Mile Smile. At the top of 3 Mile Smile this trail ends. Enjoy the descent ahead of you or backtrack down on Dead Horse

RAGBRAI news team
Lance Armstrong to return to Iowa to ride 2013 RAGBRAI
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 | by Kyle MunsonShare
Bicyclist Lance Armstrong, who began the year in a televised confessional with Oprah Winfrey in which he admitted to doping his way to seven consecutive Tour de France wins, has chosen a different yet familiar sort of hot seat this summer — a sweaty bike seat amid the Iowa corn fields.
Armstrong said Tuesday that he will return to our sun-baked byways this month for his fifth visit to The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. This would mark his first major public appearance since his mea culpa in January that reversed years of his impassioned denials and triggered scorn and lawsuits aplenty.
But he doesn't plan to helicopter in and out on a quick, single-day jaunt.
Armstrong said that he and his staff from the Mellow Johnny's bicycle shop he owns in Austin, Texas, will linger at least "three or four days" on RAGBRAI starting with the July 20 expo held in Council Bluffs on the eve of the ride.
This year's 41st RAGBRAI, July 21-27, winds 406 miles from Council Bluffs to Fort Madison — the second-shortest route in the annals of the world's oldest, largest bicycle touring event that was created by a pair of newspaper columnists.
"To be honest it's not a statement, it's not an experiment," Armstrong said Tuesday from Aspen, Colo. "It's just me wanting to go ride my bike with what in the past has been a friendly group of people that share the same interests."
Armstrong was feted by huge crowds in 2006 during his inaugural RAGBRAI, in the immediate wake of his initial retirement from professional racing. Armstrong told reporters that year that while Sen. Tom Harkin had long lobbied him to join the ride, it was a group of cancer-stricken Iowa bicyclists who approached him during a dinner in Indianapolis whose pleas made the difference.
He most recently joined our pork-and-pie gauntlet in 2011 and flew all the way from Paris, France, to Carroll for the occasion.
The 41-year-old cancer survivor, stripped of his Tour de France titles by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), realizes that he returns this year as a much more controversial, humbled sports icon.
Armstrong told Oprah that he quit doping after his seventh and final Tour de France victory in 2005, but that has been disputed by a USADA report.
"I saw my son defending me and saying, 'That's not true. What you're saying about my dad is not true,'" Armstrong said in the interview of what prompted his belated confession. "That's when I knew I had to tell him."
The logical, cynical reaction might be to lambaste Armstrong for taking advantage of our landscape of "Iowa nice" as the first rung on his long climb toward rehabilitating his public persona.
Armstrong himself admits that he's simultaneously curious and insecure about how this first serious mingling outside of a handful of private charity events might unfold.
"I'm well aware my presence is not an easy topic, and so I encourage people if they want to give a high five, great," he said. "If you want to shoot me the bird, that's OK, too."
He called himself a "realist."
"I'm a big boy, and so I made the bed, I get to sleep in it."

• Video: Armstrong does Q&A session during 2007 stop in Spencer
• Video: Armstrong on why he enjoys RAGBRAI
RAGBRAI Director T.J. Juskiewicz, who said publicly in January that Armstrong was welcome to return to RAGBRAI, said that Armstrong is no different than the 10,000 other bicyclists who ride annually.
"They have a great time here, and they want to return," Juskiewicz said.
He added, "We are open to anyone that wants to come ride RAGBRAI."
He did see the humor in what could become a bizarre international media stir as the church ladies in small town Iowa try to sell their homemade fruit pies.
"Who knows, we might get TMZ covering RAGBRAI this year," Juskiewicz joked.
To be clear, RAGBRAI never has paid Armstrong a dime in appearance fees, although it's an unwritten rule, Juskiewicz said, that all Tour de France champions — whether or not they have been stripped of their titles — ride for free.
Regardless, Armstrong has bigger financial worries. By some accounts he's facing as much as $135 million in liabilities from multiple lawsuits leveled by the government, insurance companies and others.
"I'm committing to working through them," he said of the lawsuits, "and whether it's settling cases or whether it's fighting some cases — because some have merit some don't. But I'm commtted to the process and that's probably as much as I would and could say about it. That's a tricky area there.
"Unless you have $135 million you want to let me borrow, or have?"
Nike even has announced that it will let its contract with the Livestrong Foundation and those ubiquitous yellow wristbands expire next year — a deal that according to the Associated Press is responsible for about one-fifth of the $500 million raised by the cancer-fighting charity since it was founded in 1997.
Armstrong also has had to distance himself from Livestrong in one of the myriad complications of his scandal. He's "not a part of that organization anymore," he said simply, "and don't see that in the near future."
RAGBRAI then seems to provide Armstrong an oasis in which there's "nothing set up, nothing coerced, coordinated, composed," as he put it.
He also praised Juskiewicz as a "great friend and a great supporter through all this."
"Dude, you learn a lot about people when stuff like this goes down," Armstrong said. "The first 24-48-72 hours, you never forget those calls, and he was one of them."
But Armstrong also insists that he doesn't want special treatment. He's "just a dude like everybody who likes to ride bikes and likes to drink beer and has made his fair share of mistakes — and that's that."
At least that will be that until the tires get dipped in the Missouri River at the start of the ride, and the high fives and bird-flipping begin in earnest.

I am sure all of the haters are "perfect" people. 500 million dollars was raised for cancer research. I don't care how many lies he made, how many lives have been saved because of the 500 million dollars? Cancer sucks, at least he did something to help people beat it. Two high fives from me.

I think it's great that Lance is riding in RAGBRAI. A lot of people make mistakes in their lives and this was one of Lance's. He is still a great guy and is always welcome in Iowa. I wish I was doing the ride this year and had a chance to shake his hand. Keep up all your good work Lance, and remember to LIVESTRONG!

(Updates with Senate passage in second paragraph.)
Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Congress gave final approval to a $182 billion budget measure to keep federal agencies operating past tomorrow.
The Senate voted 70-30 for legislation providing 2012 budgets for five Cabinet departments while continuing current funding for the rest of the government through Dec. 16. Lawmakers will seek budget agreements for the other agencies before that deadline.
The bill now heads to President Barack Obama for his signature after clearing the House earlier today on a 298-121 vote. A temporary "continuing resolution" funding the government at 2011 levels expires tomorrow night.
The House's Republican majority needed help from Democrats to approve the plan after some in their own ranks complained the bill spends too much and includes provisions extending government subsidies to the housing industry. More than 40 percent of the House Republican caucus -- 101 lawmakers -- opposed the plan while 165 Democrats supported it.
The legislation includes three of the dozen appropriations bills that lawmakers must pass each year to keep the government running. The bill funds the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, Transportation and Housing and Urban Development, along with NASA and many other programs, through the 2012 fiscal year that began on Oct. 1.
Amtrak, Nutrition
Democrats thwarted Republican efforts to cut Amtrak, local law-enforcement grants and a program providing nutritional assistance to impoverished mothers of infants.
Republicans blocked Obama's request to increase by one- third the budget of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is responsible for helping implement the 2010 overhaul of financial-industry regulations. The agency instead will be funded at roughly its current level.
Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, called it a "terrible act of irresponsibility" that would "open us up to the kind of irresponsible, unregulated financial behavior that led to the greatest crisis that we've had in so many years."
Republicans also secured provisions in the bill blocking an Obama administration initiative to make school lunches healthier.
The bill would increase the maximum mortgage the Federal Housing Administration can insure to $729,750 from $625,500. Many Republicans opposed this move, especially after the administration issued a report saying there is a 50 percent chance the FHA will need taxpayer aid to bolster its insurance fund.
In a compromise, lawmakers agreed to drop provisions sought by Senate Democrats that would have raised limits on the size of mortgages that may be bought by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The budget bill is separate from the continuing supercommittee negotiations that seek a long-range plan to cut spending by at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade.

Global Congress on Process Safety
In a companion paper, root cause of failure analysis (RCA) was used to estimate the times to failure of a set of spring operated pressure relief valves (SORV) that were found in the fail-to-open (FTO) condition upon proof test. We now use these estimated times to failure to estimate the failure rate, ?D(t), of the SORV population with respect to the FTO mode of failure. The average probability of failure on demand (PFDavg) is then computed using the estimate for ?D(t). Additionally, we compute PFDavg directly from the proof test data and estimated times to failure and explain why this new approach provides a more accurate characterization of process-wide safety than does PFDavg computed from ?D(t) and probability of initial failure (PIF). We also demonstrate that the changes instituted as a result of the RCA study at the data-source facility have lead to measurable improvements in plant safety.

Google CEO Change Sparks Mixed Feelings Among Analysts
Google CEO Change Sparks Mixed Feelings Among Analysts
Google CEO Eric Schmidt's announcement that he is relinquishing his title to company co-founder Larry Page has hijacked the news cycle throughout the tech industry in the last two days.
Schmidt made the news on Google's fourth-quarter earnings call Jan. 20. The news was a bombshell for analysts expecting Google to announce a solid quarter of search ad revenues.
With $6.37 billion in revenue beating Wall Street's expectations of $6.04 billion, analysts certainly got what they expected.
It's the extra jolt they were unsure about: Schmidt's ceding of his CEO role to Page April 4 and assuming the role of executive chairman, where he will be responsible for brokering deals and other duties.
Google's stock fluctuated greatly after the news, but it ultimately closed down nearly $15 to $611.83 Jan 21.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Ross Sandler said he doesn't believe the changes will materially change the day-to-day operations for Google and said they should have minimal impact on Google's ability to execute.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who said investors were unsure how to react to the news, wrote in a Jan. 21 research note:
"We believe the bottom line on the news is that Schmidt will continue to be actively involved in the company and that the transition will likely go smoothly. We view Page as more of a visionary than Schmidt, while Schmidt had more of an operational focus. We don't expect the change to negatively impact operations in any way, but note that it could slightly help inspire the company creatively in the face of more significant competition from Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook."
Technology analysts took more sanguine views. Enderle Group analyst Rob Enderle, a longtime critic of Schmidt, told eWEEK he has viewed Schmidt as a liability at Google over the last few years and "largely failed to do what he was there to do, and that is prevent obvious mistakes."
Enderle believes Schmidt botched Google's handling of censorship troubles with China and was critical of comments Schmidt made about user privacy. Schmidt once claimed that if you who don't want others to know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it.
"I think it became clear that for a company whose primary customer was the consumer, whose primary source of income is advertising, and that sells something they don't own, a low-performing (Novell was hardly a star) enterprise CEO was a bad fit," Enderle said.
Schmidts Exit from CEO Role Leaves Uncertainty
Enderle even criticized Android, the mobile operating system launched under the aegis of Schmidt, because it appears to violate patents now owned by Oracle.
"They should have either bought Sun or Novell to assure they could protect what they created. Now they will either have to pay massive amounts of money to protect Android or exit the market due to litigation pressures," Enderle added.
With Google being challenged in court by Oracle, in the mobile market by Apple and in social advertising by Facebook, Page has his work cut out for him.
Gartner analyst Whit Andrews took the opposite views, arguing that no one has call to point the finger at Schmidt and say he messed up. Instead, he described Page's return to the CEO role after a decade of hanging back as Google's president of products as a new chapter.
In this chapter, Google must defend its search hegemony and develop its "extraordinary business" across so many places online.
"That does not change the fact that the Facebook era is now upon us," Andrews said. "The Google era has passed. Google as the dominant empire of the Web is not now the case. It's the Facebook moment. They now face the reality of co-existing with Facebook instead of trying to defeat it. Part of its advertising business is focused on doing just that."
While Andrews believes Google is well-positioned on the consumer-facing Web service and ad front, he's less sure about Google's prospects in the enterprise. As an enterprise-minded CEO, Schmidt is well-groomed for pushing Google Apps.
But Page cut his teeth on the consumer cloth, which raises questions about the future of the company effectively marketing Google Apps for businesses. Google's slip here would make Microsoft, with its enterprise clout, the prohibitive favorite for cloud collaboration software.
This will be an interesting year to watch the evolution of Google as it seeks to challenge Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, among others.

Ah, it's a beautiful day in Seattle and currently the entire top floor of our building is occupied solely by myself and Adam Grano while everyone else gets their nerd on in San Diego. I could get used to not going to Comic-Con. (Note to Adam: can we get a ping pong table in here, toot-sweet?)
Anyway, we just received advance copies of two new books (these are also debuting at the con) that will hit stores in early September: LOVE & ROCKETS: NEW STORIES #1 and DEITCH'S PICTORAMA. It occured to me that this means we will be releasing two books, on the same day, by two different sets of cartooning/sibling legends. Kind of cool.
Every day in July we're spotlighting books from our month-long Hidden Gems Sale, wherein we're featuring some of our under-the-radar backlist titles and encouraging you to try them by offering them at a nice discount of 25% off!
The subject of today's spotlight, Wilfred Santiago, is poised to make a major splash in 2009 with 21, his comics biography of baseball legend Roberto Clemente.
The Age of Anxiety has never been better depicted in comics form than in In My Darkest Hour, a modernist, mainstream graphic novel that explores the inner life of its protagonist, Omar Guerrero, a 28 year-old Latin American transient, who confronts his pervasive feelings of inadequacy, anger, guilt, and escalating alienation. The first full-length graphic novel from Pop Life collaborator Wilfred Santiago, in a lovely two-color format.
128-page two-color 7" x 9" softcover
A Holocaust denier in the UK tries to incite race hate online by using an infamous Crumb strip from Weirdo, "When the Goddamn Jews Take Over America," and then flees to America for asylum.

Every day in July we're spotlighting books from our month-long Hidden Gems Sale, wherein we're featuring some of our under-the-radar backlist titles and encouraging you to try them by offering them at a nice discount of 25% off!
The subject of today's spotlight, editor Chris Polkki, put together two fantastic anthologies for us in the first half of this decade, one focusing on international artists and one featuring some of comics' newest superstars.
The alternative comics movement has gone worldwide with a vengeance, with cauldrons of activity in a number of countries. With Bête Noire, Polkki set himself the daunting task of corralling all these exciting movements into one fantastically dynamic English-language anthology, with 88 pages of new or previously untranslated comics from two dozen top-notch cartoonists acclaimed for their work in such cutting-edge magazines or cooperatives as Kramers Ergot, Cornélius, Le Dernier Cri, and L'Association. The exciting Bête Noire roster features MS Bastian (Switzerland); Fé + Witko, Frédéric Coché, Ludovic Debeurme, Lucie Durbiano, Quentin Faucompré, Morgan Navarro, and Caroline Sury (France); Adam Dant (UK); Anke Feuchtenberger (Germany); Ichiba Daisuke, Junko Mizuno, Suzy Amakane, Takeshi Nemoto, and Yuichi Yokoyama (Japan); Ben Jones (USA); Reijo Karkkainen (Finland); Peter Köhler (Sweden); Olaf Ladousse (Spain); Helge Reumann (Switzerland); Fabio Viscogliosi (Italy) and the legendary Quebecois madman Henriette Valium (Canada). There is also a color section featuring Kevin Scalzo, creator of the endearingly gross Sugar Booger! David Heatley provides the wraparound cover.
88-page b&w/color 7" x 8.5" comic book
The four issues of Blood Orange showcase the comic art of Rick Altergott, Lauren Weinstein, Kevin Huizenga, Ron Regé, Jr., Gary Baseman, Archer Prewitt, Rebecca Dart, Chris Wright, Jeffrey Brown, Matti Hagelberg, Fabio Viscogliosi, Renee French, Anders Nilsen, Ben Jones, Brian Ralph, Lark Pien, Tobias Tak and Ted May, with covers by Steven Weissman, Olivier Douzou, and Lark Pien. In addition, issue #3 features European cartoonists Pakito Bolino and Caroline Sury, Ulf K., Alex Baladi, Nicolas Mahler, Olaf Ladousse, and Fabio Zimbres. In a distinctive, beautifully designed format, Blood Orange captures the pulse of alt-comics.
48-page black & white comic books
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery welcomes three compelling cartoonists in August with appearances by artist/musician Zak Sally on August 2, French cartoonist David B. on August 15, and the incomparable Daniel Clowes on August 29. These talented artists further enhance the growing perception of Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery as one of our region's most colorful and diverse cultural assets.
Zak Sally, a notorious Minneapolis-based musician and cartoonist will perform music and sign books on Saturday, August 2 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. A veteran of celebrated alternative rock band Low (recently featured at the Sub Pop 20 shindig), Sally is the creator of acclaimed comics Recidivist and Sammy the Mouse, as well as publisher of independent La Mano books. Sally's work also appears regularly in Fantagraphics Books' highly regarded MOME anthology. This event will feature the debut of the second issue of his Sammy the Mouse comic book published on Fantagraphics Books' international Ignatz imprint. Sally will perform music with his associate Nate Denver and special guests. Denver is author of the amazing Wait, You're Not a Centaur book/CD, and performs with Nate Denver's Neck and Total Shutdown. The event will also offer the public an opportunity to preview the first U. S. exhibition of original art by French cartoonist David B.
Best known by his pseudonym David B., Peirre-François Beauchard is one of the prominent artists of the bande dessinée, a genre whose style and standing he has greatly advanced. The exhibition "My Story, My Stories" includes original art from his critically acclaimed comic memoir "l'Ascension du Haut Mal" (published in English as Epileptic), contributions to Fantagraphics Books' MOME anthology, works from his Ignatz series Babel, and many pieces previously unpublished in the U. S. This exquisite exhibition runs from August 2 through August 25, 2008. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery will host a reception for this exceptional artist on Friday, August 15 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. This event is associated with "La Semaine de la Bande Dessinée - A Week Celebrating the French Graphic Novel," supported by Fantagraphics Books, the 4Culture King County Lodging Tax, the Alliance Française of Seattle and the Cultural Development Fund of the Federation of Alliances Françaises USA.
On Friday, August 29, Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery proudly presents the return of Daniel Clowes. His appearance marks the premiere of Ghost World: The Special Edition. The second in a series of deluxe publications from Fantagraphics Books, this edition of the phenomenal graphic novel includes special features available for the first time. Ghost World first appeared in Clowes' award-winning Eightball comic book series, and the feature film, directed by Terry Zwigoff, earned the pair an Academy Award™ nomination for Best Screenplay adaptation. This event will feature an exhibition of Clowes' meticulously rendered original graphics related to the book, as well as a brief discussion of the artists' cinematic approach to cartooning. Please join us on August 29, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM welcome this extraordinary artist.
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S, Vale St. in the heart of Seattle's historic Georgetown arts community. Open daily, 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sunday until 5:00 PM. Phone: 206.658.0110.

Person of Interest Producers Tease Season Finale, Beginning of New Chapterby Sean McKenna at . Comments
The Machine has rebooted, the call has gone out - and it looks like one person is going to have a "24-hour ticket to mayhem." Will it be Reese, Root, Finch or someone else?
I recently spoke with Person of Interest series creator Jonathan Nolan, along with executive producer Greg Plageman, about the end game on Person of Interest Season 2, its recurring characters,and what's in store for the finale, "God Mode."
Read on for excerpts from our Q&A…
Did you always know that the Machine shutdown and hard reset was the game plan to close out Person of Interest Season 2?
Nolan: Yeah, we've been building towards this for a long time. Because this season has spent a little more time answering questions about Harold Finch that for us it dovetailed very nicely with this idea that there's a more aggressive evolution than last season taking place here with the Machine.
Plageman: We loved kind of the mystery of the relationship not just between Reese and Finch, who know each other a little bit better than they used to but maybe there are more secrets there, but we [also loved] the mystery of the relationship with the Machine and our characters too. So, we never fully walked away from it.
How do you determine which characters to bring back like Root and Shaw in "Zero Day"? Is there a process for that?
Nolan: Yeah, they don't suck. (laughs) Yeah, you know, we plan these stories out a long way in advance. Sometimes we run into issues with actor availability, and you've got to slide some pieces around, but we've been very lucky to work with what we think is the best cast on TV, best recurring characters on TV. They have really all enjoyed making the show and they love coming back. And we love having them back, so really it's been a great experience on that front.
It's been lucky for us because a lot of these actors are in high demand all over the place, but we've been able to build these long-haul stories and build confidently in these directions and execute them, which is great.
What do you think makes bringing Sam Shaw on important to the show as well as the team?
Nolan: Sarah [Shahi's] character for us is that there's always that lethality that's great fun and the idea that this is kind of a collection of strays from Reese to Finch to all of the characters looking for a bit of a home. Sarah is someone who Greg [Plageman] and I have long admired. She has a fantastic energy. We think she's a great addition to the team, but we never come at it quite that directly. Again, like all the characters on our show, she plays pretty hard to get. She's a hard person to get to know.
What's been your favorite thing about working on season two?
Nolan: I think the most fun is where we get into these arcs over a couple episodes and just keep expanding the story. It's just the idea that we have these outstanding recurring actors that we can come back to. I mean Amy Acker [who plays Root], Annie Parisse (even though she's dead now)[who played Kara], even Ken Leung [who plays Leon] keeps coming back too. It's so much fun where you start to get that many moving pieces out there that they just become different pieces on the board you can play with. That seems to be the most fun with the show.
Will we find out more about Decima in the finale or is that something for season three?
Nolan: I think Decima was pretty stymied in "Zero Day" by Root, Reese, Finch and Shaw, all kind of working in concert as a knockout combination. Decima is down but not out. We will see some more of them in season three.
Plageman: How bout Jonah's uncle [John Nolan playing Greer from Decima], huh? He's pretty great.
What can you tease about "God Mode?"
Nolan: It's that all access pass as the title implies. Of course, as we learned in the last episode, that's a 24-hour ticket to mayhem. It's one frenetic 24-hour episode that kind of changes things in some surprising ways. I think this season compared to last season where we ended things on a cliffhanger, this season is really about ending one chapter and beginning the next.
Tune in to find out what happens to Reese, Finch and the Machine on the wild-ride Person of Interest finale this Thursday, May 9, at 9/8c on CBS.

To have the key target a lesbian couple added nothing to the plot and cost you a viewer and advertiser consumer. I will not watch your show again or use any advertised products. Give your political statement to someone else.
Nolan said: "Sarah [Shahi's] character for us is that there's always that lethality that's great fun..." Interesting. Do you mean the kind of cold, tough lethality that Ziva USED to have on NCIS before she became a little sissy girl who Abby has to rescue? Please bring back the bad girl assassin. Soft, cuddly, weepy Ziva is no fun. Tony's not even afraid of her anymore! Sheesh!

- Conference date: 17–22 July 2011
- Location: Burlington, VT
Investigation of terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) was made and reflection and transmission configurations were studied as a nondestructive evaluation technique. Here carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) derived their excellent mechanical strength, stiffness and electrical conductivity from carbon fibers. Especially, the electrical conductivity of CFRP composites depends on the direction of unidirectional fibers since carbon fibers are electrically conducting while the epoxy matrix is not. The THz TDS can be considered as a useful tool using general non-conducting materials; however it is quite limited to conducting materials. In order to solve various material properties, the index of refraction (n) is derived by using the terahertz time domain spectroscopy. Also, for a 48-ply thermoplastic PPS(poly-phenylene sulfide)-based CFRP solid laminate, the terahertz scanning images were made at the angles ranged from 0° to 180° with respect to the nominal fiber axis. So, the images were mapped out based on the electrical field (E-field) direction in the CFRP solid laminates.

Dr. Lan Pham, a former senior staffer financial economist for the Congressional Budget Office, was fired from the organization for her attempts to quantify the economic implications of foreclosures and foreclosure fraud.

Elmendorf Does Simple Math for Catfood Commission II

CBO Director Doug Elmendorf had an interesting hearing in front of the Super Committee. Throwing a cold dose of reality on the proceedings, Elmendorf, who in his role is almost by definition concerned with long-term budget deficits, calmly explained that the Obama jobs framework is precisely what you would do if you were looking to [...]
CBO: Stimulus Now
|By: David Dayen Thursday July 1, 2010 8:15 am
The CBO definitely put their thumb on the scale with their long-term budget analysis yesterday. They admitted that, under current law, there would be very little long-term budget problems, but under an invented "alternative" scenario, where Congress spends more and taxes less, we'd have trouble. Some of those alternatives were accurate (the Congress will never [...]

Interpol warn of security threats by organized gangs in East Africa
Addis Ababa, 27 August 2014 (WIC) - The International police organization (Interpol) on Monday (August 25) warned of new security threats by organized criminal gangs including terrorist militants which have caused instability in the Eastern Africa Region.
The Head of Interpol regional Bureau for Eastern Africa, Rwego Francis, said the organized gangs have become more sophisticated with advanced technology hence need for concerted efforts among countries.
He told the East African Police Chiefs at their Association's Annual Conference in Mombasa that "All crimes have become transnational, so fighting crime without a regional approach will not assist us.
We need to strengthen cooperation in carrying out simultaneous operation." He also noted that Al-Shabaab continued to pose a threat to the region and said cyber crime was widely assisting in funding the group's activities in the region.
He said there was a real need for improved counter terrorism efforts and for the establishment of Financial Intelligence Units (FIU) in every country to in tracking their funding.
He also urged a regional approach for the timely sharing of information, joint investigation and capacity building. The week-long meeting, which will also consider ways to combat drug dealing and poaching, is being attended by the police chiefs of the East African Police Chiefs' Association which includes Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Comoros, Eritrea, Seychelles, South Sudan and Tanzania.
Kenya's Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo said the five-day meeting is also being attended by security experts from Germany, Turkey, France, Algeria and Nigeria as well as the head of the Interpol secretariat and will devise ways of combating serious crimes that involve networks across countries.
It is expected to come up with appropriate recommendations which will serve to make policing in the region more effective.(MoFA)

I am really hoping you all have some feedback for me because I am just absolutely torn.
Nate is now just over 13 months. He has never been a good sleeper, waking several times throughout the night to nurse. We co-sleep, so this is not that big of a deal to me. He wakes anywhere from 3-13 times each night.
Recently, we had quite a few nights when he would wake, but would not go back to sleep after nursing, so DH or I were up for 3-4 hours of walking, rocking, etc. We even caved in and put him in his crib a few times... He cried, I cried. Big mess.
I called the dr a few days ago on an un-related issue, and we got a different dr... not his normal. She asked about sleep and when I told her, she said that he was waking to drink because he was not drinking enough in the day. (I work so only nurse in morning and in PM when I return, and he will take the sippy but never shows much interest). She said to increase his intake during the day, which I said fine. Then she said I need to night-wean him because he needs to learn to take his liquids during the day, etc. She said to give it 2 weeks and she would call back to check on us.
Well, I thought I could do it, but it has been 2 nights, and each time he wakes up I can't get him to go back to sleep. I am exhausted, and I know the nursing will work, so I cave in and let him.
Is this wrong? I was also worried about my supply if I were to night wean because I am not getting up in the middle of the night to pump, and I rarely pump but once in the day because my body seems to have adjusted to accomodate the nursing sessions he does have.
I am not ready to give up nursing until he is ready, and it seems like forcing him to night wean is trying to force him into overall weaning. DH thinks I need to follow the drs advice, but i just can't! I feel awful not letting him have it when I know how much it means to him, especially if he is obviously not ready.
I guess I just thought when he was ready to STTN then he would, but he is just not ready. But there is so much pressure that by 6-8 months babies are, and blah blah blah.
Sorry for the long post, but does anyone have any advice/thoughts?

see + do
Mexico see + do
Mexico is a magnet for surfers, divers, anglers, sunbathers, and all sorts of water lovers, with thousands of miles of coastline on the Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Sea of Cortez. Mexico culture and history are also a big draw, with the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Americas, including famed archeological sites like the Maya pyramids at Chichén Itzá, the floating gardens at Xochimilco near Mexico City, and the capital's entire Centro Histórico. In fact, the Zócalo in Mexico City is a virtual timeline of architectural history, with the Aztec Templo Mayor, colonial-era Palacio Nacional, and Baroque Catedral Metropolitana lining its sides. The countryside—especially in Oaxaca, Yucatán, Michoacán, Chiapas, and Veracruz states—is rich in indigenous traditions, with residents living (much like their ancestors did) in rural villages and visiting markets so rich in history they've been preserved as national monuments. Mexico's abundant natural attributes include gray whale sanctuaries in Baja California, mangrove lagoons sheltering tropical birds in the Riviera Maya's Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, and snow-covered volcanoes outside Mexico City.

The kind of rural populism and left-right coalition building that Schweitzer is pioneering may have gotten some national attention last night, but it's been a powerful political force for a few years now.
Nearly everyone I have talked to in my reporting during this convention has told me how disgusted they are at the city's authoritarian response to what is supposed to be a celebration of democracy.
The speech is probably the most populist national speech Obama has given. I have wondered why it has taken him this long to get back to this language that he used in the Democratic primary.
Here's four reasons why this is a pretty smart choice -- and for progressives, I think its a good idea that we look at these factors as we head into the final stretch of the campaign.

I just got word that Interstate Dragways is closed until further notice!!!! Something about a conflict between the management and the land owners. That doesn't mean that someone else won't step in and take-over and fill the same shoes, but at this point, it is an unknown situation. I'll let ya'll know if I hear of any new management changes or schedules at the drag strip, but for now, it looks like I'll be going to Devil's Lake on June 5th. Sorry to be a downer....

Thank you for visiting my website! Trista's Face Painting offers high quality face painting for all ages and occasions at a very affordable price with a wide variety of designs for guys and girls.
My name is Trista and I've loved exploring all kinds of art since I was little. I was artist of the year in high school (because I took a LOT of art classes☺) and minored in art in college. My degree is actually in elementary education. Working with kids is a wonderful way to share creativity! I've been teaching now for many years at all age levels and LOVE it. This is how my passion for face painting started. I started doing fundraisers for the schools and discovered how fun it is!
❀ It would be an honor to be considered for your next special event! I look forward to hearing from you!
