04/21/2009, Macharchar
After our very busy day yesterday we took a day off today. We have almost eliminated all of the bugs we let in the first night in this anchorage, so we decided to have a closed door genset day. Reading relaxing, aircon and Hellboy I & II pretty much rounded out the day.
04/20/2009, Mecharchar
We filled dive tanks this morning in preparation for Pepe's big push to complete his Open Water Scuba training. Julie from Whistler also joined us but Eric, feeling a bit rough from last night, stayed aboard.
The rest of us climbed on Shooting Star, which with 5 adults, four tanks and two sets of scuba gear, refused to get up on a plane. I like our 12 foot AB and I think it is just about a perfect size. The 2 stroke Yamaha 25hp is great also but if you want to plane with more than three skinny divers, you need a bigger motor.
We made the moorings over by Clam City around noon and proceeded to snorkel (the three girls) and dive (Pepe and I). There is a barbecue beach here and several tourist boats came and went while we enjoyed the surroundings. After two dives filled with skills practice and some humongous clams we retired to a nice rock islet halfway back to the anchorage. Here our tired snorkelers floated more than snorkeled while Pepe and I finished his last Open Water dive.
After a short stint of finish up work back at the big boat, Pepe was an Open Water certified diver. A celebration was in order so we planed a steak frites dinner on Swingin' on a Star at 7PM. After resting and washing up everyone arrived on time and the party got started.
Things were going great and I was just about to put the steaks on the grill when Hideko said, "turn off the music!" I did and she pointed out the lack of fire on the stove, which had until recently been warming the tomatoes and Bernaise, and cooking frites. Then I heard the propane alarm beeping. Living on a boat is a constant adventure (aggravation?).
Eric and I poured over the BEP manual and carefully inspected the bilge. Neither of us could track any note of propane. Several reboot attempts produced the same alarm condition even after fanning the shallow bilge and running a fan for a bit. The alarm was specified to go off at 20% of the ignition concentration so there was little risk of an explosion but we were still very interested in getting to the bottom of things.
We finally got a dive tank out and blew fresh air on the sensor and tried a reboot. Same alarm. At this point we were all 99.9% sure that the sensor was fried. After thoroughly ventilating the bilge and carefully checking all exposed propane lines we decided to take matters into our own hands. I pulled the BEP panel off of the wall and Eric and I figured out what was going on with the wiring. I then directly connected the propane solenoid to the power lines.
With Eric listening at the solenoid in the forward propane locker, I threw the DC panel breaker. Snap, on came the gas and nothing blew up. We then checked the grill and you could easily smell the propane when I turned it on before putting a spark to it. Knowing that we could smell the propane and having no indication of its presence in the boat, other than the sensor, we were left to wonder if we could smell down to the 20% the sensor could.
We carefully cooked dinner and (crepe suzzette for desert of course) and shut of the gas. We will certainly be following up with BEP and stand by on high alert until the matter is resolved. It makes me consider the fact that many boats have no propane sensor (and thus no false alarms). Also, however, many have no solenoid shut off and their crews routinely leave the propane on while cruising. Propane is heavier than air and nasty stuff. Ignition proof bilge equipment and controlling operating exposure (i.e. via a solenoid or manually shutting off the tank) are mandatory items. We'll see where the BEP story takes us.
04/19/2009, Mecharchar
We woke up to a beautiful sunny day with absolutely no wind. It was a perfect day to motor over to Mecharchar to meet up with Whistler. We left the Swiftlet Lagoon, crossing the pass with 9 feet of water on a 2 foot tide, and headed out to the big horseshoe shaped island.
As we exited the pass I considered the challenges of sneaking into protected holes in the Rock Islands. Shoal draft is an important asset but I think beam comes into play here in many scenarios as well. Our 26 feet width probably will keep us out of some nice spots even though we could easily clear the bottom. Another issue with beam is that there may be plenty of water in a pass, and enough width, but there may not be enough water on the edges. That is to say, we have two keels 4.5 feet under water about 22 feet apart. Thus a pass 10 feet deep but only 10 feet wide would shut us out. So far we have had no problems but it has been important to align the boat properly when running passes and watching for isolated rocks that would be no problem to a mono hull needing deep water only 3 feet wide.
We had a nice motor (there was no wind at all) on the way to Mecharchar and spotted three turtles on the way. Normally turtles on the surface disappear in the waves but the lagoon was flatter than flat today, so anything disrupting the glassy water stood out. We followed the undersea cable down the deep water track running North/South and then headed east toward the break between Euidelchol and the main island.
Careful coning here was important and both Miki and Hideko kept watch on the bow. We passed into the interior of Mecharchar and explored a possible anchorage to the north close to the Clam City snorkel spot. This area was a bit too rocky for us so we continued north and then around east and south to parallel the inside of the eastern most part of the Mecharchar horseshoe.
Near the bottom of the horseshoe, close to the area of Jellyfish lake we came upon a bar looking a bit too close to 5 feet to transit comfortably. At this obstruction we backed up and anchored to do some recon. The dinghy has been in tow since we left Malakal due to the calm waters inside the Palau lagoon, so it was a snap to drive around the bar to inspect things. The lead line indicated we could clear the bar in several places but it was tight in both width and depth.
Our electronic charts here are fairly poor when it comes to useful navigation details amongst the islands. We have a paper chart, lent to us by Dermot at Sam's Tours. The paper chart is a much better representation of things but it has no soundings and can be vague or a little inaccurate at the largest scale of detail. The paper chart showed a bar in front of us and to the right around the other side of a little rock island. Dinghy recon showed the bar to the right to be much deeper but still an area where caution was required.
At this point the Whistler crew, anchored on the other side of the horseshoe, appeared in a group of kayaks (3 on two one man inflatables!). Miki joined them with our two man kayak and they all headed off to Jellyfish lake. Meanwhile Hideko and I raised anchor and crept through the westward bar.
We continued along the eastern wall of Mecharchar all the way to the southeast corner. This corner is one of three little lagoons described by the south wall of Mecharchar and two little rock islands. Entering the lagoons takes some care due to shallow rocks, particularly near the edges. In retrospect the transit near the Jellyfish lake dock to the west is easier than the way we came, along the eastern wall of Mecharchar, which presented a second shallow bar to cross.
We anchored in 15 feet of soft sand. We had to attempt a set twice, adding a little chain the second time after slipping at 2000 rpms the first. Short scope is required due to the size of the hole, but the protection probably makes a 2000 rpm backdown excessive. We did so all the same and ended up lying to about 60 feet of chain.
The rest of the crew had fun at the lake. We met them at the park dock and ended up guiding Whistler over to the third lagoon by dinghy. We are happy to be in another lovely anchorage and look forward to exploring the area tomorrow.
It was Pepe's birthday today so we all piled on Whistler for a great dinner and some fun stories regarding Eric and Pepe's adventures in South America, not the least of which was an interesting tale of taking the local's way up to Machupichu. No one has stories like sailors.
04/18/2009, Ulong Island
Whistler left before high tide this morning for Mecharchar. Thunderstorms in the area and rainy overcast caused us to wait. Around noon the weather looked as if it would break for a while so we set out. Our hopes were dashed as the gloom moved in from the south, which was a strange direction for weather to come from. It was likely forming around us more than drifting in, regardless we decided to return to Ulong. The reefy waters of Palau are no fun to navigate for your first time with rotten visibility.
Whistler agreed and ended up anchoring in the middle of the lagoon. They spent the entire day creeping toward their desired anchorage in the weather breaks but made it safely in the afternoon at which point we lost radio contact.
We spent the rest of another relaxing day indoors reading and enjoying the cool air from the stormy weather around Ulong.
04/17/2009, Ulong Island
We had another relaxing day kayaking and swimming around in the anchorage. If this anchorage had a nice beach it would be about as perfect as they come.
04/16/2009, Ulong Island
After a relaxing day reading and resting the crews of Swingin' on a Star and Whistler set out to hike around Ulong island in search of the old settlement and petroglyphs. We started out on a Kayak plan but there are six of us and only 4 kayak places. In the end we took our dinghy and Eric Kayaked.
It was an amazingly calm afternoon. There was no wind whatsoever and the ocean was like glass. The coral gardens surrounding Ulong became a veritable aquarium. We could see clearly through the green water into the reefs and watch the damsels, parrot fish, butterfly fish and even a turtle swimming about.
We chose a secluded beach in a protected cove as our first point to disembark. It was getting close to low tide so we had to tilt the engine up in several places to get over the skinny bits. Ashore we found the jungle of the rock island fairly forgiving. You could pretty easily make your way through the banyans, betel nut and other vegetation. Surprisingly there are not too many coconut palms on these limestone islands.
Getting trough the vegetation was only half the battle however. These islands are basically coral reefs pushed up into the air. If you've ever walked on a dried out coral reef you know how jagged and viscous such rock can be. Rock Islands are not famous for their sweeping meadows either. You are either climbing up, or climbing down.
It was about 5PM when we left the beach and the boats behind and trekked into the jungle. After surmounting the top of the first cliff in a tangle of banyan roots we could look down on a stagnant pool in a little valley to the right and some impressive and sheer limestone cliffs to the left, all covered in dangling roots, vines and other greenery. Heading off to the left we found a small limestone glade that looked as if it could have been a camp or small village at one time, though we found no recognizable remains. There was another cliff ahead to surmount if we wanted to go on, so due to the general lack of proper footwear and failing light we decided to "on back" it as the hashers say.
Next we went around to the main beach on the west side of Ulong, where all of the dive boats break for lunch, to explore a bit. What do you know, they had a map of the site of the petroglyphs and the village at the very back of the BBQ area. The only problem is that the sign is in Palauan. From what we could make out, had we crossed that last cliff we would have ended up here.
We circumnavigated Ulong on the way back to the anchorage. The three islands that are Ulong make an interesting place to explore, with no shortage of challenging hikes. The evening was cool and the water was clear and green as we made our way home for the night.
04/15/2009, Ulong Island
It was a lovely day in Ulong. We all enjoyed kayaking and around the lagoons in the morning. In the afternoon Pepe, Eric and I finished up Pepe's Confined Water Dives in a shallow sandy patch at the north end of the anchorage. I had forgotten how much work it was to earn an Open Water rating. Helping out, just just sitting in with Pepe has been a great review for all of the other divers on the two boats. Pepe has three Open Water dives to go.

Jury finds contractor liable for more than $7M in reservists' deaths
A jury found a civilian contractor liable for more than $7 million in damages Friday, finding that a former employee of the company caused a 2009 crash in Kuwait that led to the deaths of two Luzerne County Naval Reservists.
The jury deliberated for about 4½ hours following the eight-day federal civil trial, before returning a verdict.
Brian Patton, 37, of Nanticoke, died at the scene of the Nov. 19, 2009 crash. His friend and co-worker, David Morgan of Wilkes-Barre, suffered a traumatic brain injury and lived for several years before succumbing to complications from his injury in August 2013 at age 38.
Families of the two men filed suit in 2010 against Combat Support Associates, a private, California-based firm that provides support services to the military, and its former employee, Morgan Lee Hanks. Hanks was driving an SUV that struck the SUV driven by Patton.
The unanimous verdict awarded Patton's family $3,875,000 and Morgan's family $3,750,000 in damages.

He was one of the earliest members of the North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study (NAPRTCS) and developed the studies and protocols that were subsequently used as the basis for the development of the Cooperative Clinical Trials in Pediatric Transplantation (CCTPT). One of the most innovative components of these studies is the description and analysis of intragraft gene expression of informative molecules. Dr. Harmon had collaborated with Dr. Terry Strom of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the first description of these techniques in 1992. Subsequently, these techniques have formed the basis for defining the immune process in organ transplantation. Dr. Harmon is currently the Principal Investigator of the two multi-center clinical trials supported by CCTPT and serves as Chairman of its steering committee.

I've been playing around with several ideas about fear for a few months now, and after sharing some of them with a few clients and friends, I feel at least one of them is ready for prime time. It is a very simple and easy way to let go of fear.
First, the Background Info
Whenever you are afraid, your mind is focused on something happening in the future. If you think about it, there is no fear without the future. For instance, if you are afraid of not being able to pay the bills at the end of the month, you are feeling fear about something in the future. Pretty obvious, eh?
But what about being confronted by something dangerous right now? What if I were confronted by a tiger in my backyard (yes, we have tigers roaming free here in Missouri *grins*)? Well, in the exact moment you see the tiger, and your body hits the adrenaline button, you are actually still not in danger at that instant. The fear you feel comes from what you believe is going to happen in the next few minutes, and yes, being eaten or mauled is a real possibility. But notice, it is still in the future. Even if you are being mauled, the fear you are experiencing is about dying in the future.
Okay, you get the point, right? Fear = future. No way around it.
Second, How Fear = Future Helps
So how does this fear = future help me? Ah, now we get to the entire point of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, and, for that matter, hundreds of other spiritual teachings. The bottom line to everything Tolle discusses is that there is only one moment, one time, and it is now. There is no future except to the mind (and no past, too). There is only right now. As a matter of fact, you can say there is no time at all. Just now, ever present now, infinite now.
And this simple fact that there is only now is great news. If you are experiencing fear about paying the bills, or a possible illness, or your marriage, or anything for that matter, all you have to do is remember there is no future, there is only now.
Third, The Practice
Using the above, here is a very simple practice you can do whenever you are feeling fear. Note for all the literalists out there: if you are feeling fear because a bus is about to hit you or a tiger is about to eat you, do not do this practice! Run, run like hell. Have some common sense, please!
- Sit down. I've found that sitting down is the #1 thing to do when you are feeling any sort of distress. Just sit. You can easily take 15 minutes to sit.
- Review your situation. Spend a moment or two reviewing your situation paying careful attention to how all of it is in the future. That's the important part. All of it is in the future.
- Be honest about your fears. Name them, say them out loud, write them down. You are already afraid, so you are already telling yourself these things in your mind. So be honest. You are afraid of going broke, of being homeless, of being alone, of dying. Again, notice that it all is in the future.
- Fear = future. Repeat to yourself a few times that the fear you are feeling is about something in the future. Notice how all of these events are in the future.
- "Is it here now?" Ask yourself, "Is any of this stuff here now? Is any of it what I'm experiencing now?" And sit with the answer. Don't do anything with it. Just experience the answer. Give it a moment to sink down from your head through your body. Feel the answer.
- Notice what is here now. You are sitting in a chair. You are doing this practice. You are quiet. Look at the room around you. Notice that the future you are imagining isn't here. Allow yourself to sit with right now.
- Sit for a few more minutes. Be still. Just enjoy the moment.
Fourth, The Benefits
Doing this practice has several benefits. The first benefit is that it slows you down, it takes a chunk of nervous energy out of your system. Your adrenal glands get a moment to relax, your heart calms down, your breathing slows, all good stuff for you. Because when your body calms down, it takes a further load off your nervous system. A nice cycle of physical calming occurs.
credit: bestfor
The second benefit is that by relaxing your body and mind, you open yourself to knew possibilities. It seems to me that creativity is most active in the gap between thinking, in the pause that occurs when thinking stills for a moment. By getting your thoughts out of their imagined future, they naturally calm down, slow down, and at moments become very still.
And in this place of stillness you might have a new insight, a new burst of inspiration about your life and life situations. You may see a way to earn more money, reduce debt, feel a new found love for your partner, experience a sense of peace about your body and any illness it has. Solutions are often found right here in the stillness of now. You will surprise yourself with the creativity you will have when you are still.
The third benefit to you is that you will feel more connected with who you truly are. What you are is Now, is Presence, is here. When your thoughts are floating around in the imagined future, you are removed from the truth of who and what you are. Getting connected to the truth of your being is, well, the only way to go.
So give this practice a try next time you are feeling fear or anxiety. It will work wonders the more consistently you use it. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are we engaged in a strategic planning process?
CCNY is undergoing a comprehensive review of its vision and strategic focus in an effort to align its current strategies and initiatives with a modern and dynamic plan for the future. The strategic plan will provide a clear path for activities and initiatives taking place on campus, and is intended to provide a clear outline of objectives for each activity and a unified vision of where CCNY is heading.
What is the goal of this process?
The goal of this process is for the College to answer the following questions:
- Where are we today?
- Where do we want to be?
- How will we get there?
- How do we measure progress?
How long will the strategic planning process take?
Developing a thoughtful and comprehensive strategic plan is not a quick process. The College wants to ensure thorough and inclusive feedback from the campus community is received throughout the process. Four committees were formed, comprised of a broad spectrum of faculty, administrators and staff, and met on a bi-weekly basis to focus on their charges. These committees, described in depth elsewhere on this site, are: Academic Prosperity, Culture of Excellence, Financial Health and Student Success. Additionally, two senior-level committees encompassing administrators, deans, faculty leadership, students, and civic community perspectives were formed to review progress and recommendations. The initiative began in early spring of 2013 and has an anticipated completion of spring 2015.
What is each campus committee focused on?
The Academic Prosperity team is developing a blueprint for a dynamic academic planning process and creating multidisciplinary scholarship and research across the campus. Culture of Excellence is aimed at enhancing the quality of life and creating a culture with a drive for excellence throughout City College. Financial Health is targeting a detailed series of action steps to gain efficiencies in our operations and implement creative strategies to generate new revenue streams to support the future visions and strategic plan of the college. Student Success is focusing on a multifaceted approach for strengthening support of City College students and improving student outcomes.
Will I have the opportunity to provide feedback?
The planning process was developed to be collaborative and inclusive, and to ensure meaningful and extensive engagement and involvement of the campus community. The strategic planning committees will be using a variety of methods to collect feedback and engage the campus community. Focus groups, town hall meetings, etc. will be advertised on this website. In addition, comments can be received through this website under the Feedback tab.
Can my website comments be anonymous?
Comments are confidential and will remain anonymous if that is your choice. Names will not be collected or disclosed to any of the committee members unless you fill in your contact information.
Will my comments be answered personally?
Each comment will be read carefully and the appropriate committee will give it thoughtful consideration in the strategic planning analysis. However, specific comments will not be answered directly.
Who can submit comments to the website?
Anyone who visits this website will have the ability to submit comments.
How will the ideas and comments received, either through this website or through other avenues, be incorporated into the planning process?
Ideas and comments received from the campus community will be reviewed regularly by the strategic planning committees. They will be used to identify the major topics and issues that matter the most to the campus community and our partners and will ensure these are appropriately addressed in the strategic plan.

» Watch Follett's 4:07.44 In Its Entirety
» Post-Race Inverview On Flotrack
SEATTLE - Husky grad Katie Follett continues to roll in her first full season as a professional, as she beat an elite field on Saturday at the USATF Oxy High Performance Meet at Occidental College, lowering her U.S.-leading time in the 1,500-meter run. Follett the multimedia personality also served as a tour guide on Flotrack.org in a piece that debuted on Monday where the eight-time All-American visits some Seattle hot spots.
At the Oxy High Performance Meet, Follett ran the 1,500-meters for the first time since the Payton Jordan Invitational three weeks back where she got the win in a then-personal best time of 4:08.95. This time around, Follett hung near the front through the first three laps, and then passed Phoebe Wright, a multiple NCAA Champ formerly at Tennessee, and pulled away for the win in 4:07.44, which was under the `B' Standard for the IAAF World Championships later this summer that all athletes will be striving for. Follett also held off 2008-09 U.S. 1,500-meter champ Shannon Rowbury and Treniere Moser, the three-time champ U.S. champ from 2005-07.
Follett continues to be coached by UW head coach Greg Metcalf, and runs for Brooks Athletics. Her career-best as of this time last year was 4:10.66, which is the Washington school record. With the win on Saturday, Follett continues to own the fastest time by an American, or a North American, in 2011, and she is 12th overall in the world.

Amateur Interracial Vids
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
What's black, white and cummed in and on all over? The babes on Amateur Interracial Vids. Most of the ladies are white, yes, but you will find some ebony gals as well. There's no doubt that all the Oreo hardcore is made at home and this has its advantages and disadvantages.
The members' area on AmateurInterracialVids is probably as thrown together and unattractive as I am on a Monday morning (i.e. minimalistic and functioning at the lowest level in order to get things done). Then again, it's straight and to the point. Whether you're a photo or video person (or both), two big links give you what you're after.
There are 200 videos in total and if you frequent interracial sites, you will see a few scenes that come from other sources. The playback really varies and I suppose that's expected sometimes from amateur sites. You can get very poor-quality movies or of you're lucky, some flicks offer average-quality playback. They're all available as Windows Media files.
There are only 12 sets of photos, each with a category such as BBW, blowjobs or couples. You had better prefer movies if you're going to get the most out of this site. The pics are generally pretty small and sometimes grainy.
Ranging from nubile Nubians to middle-aged white moms, the ladies really vary in shape, size and race. I even noticed an Asian chick or two. There are plenty of blowjob scenes, but I saw quite a few vids where the black dude blasts his thick cream deep inside a cock-starved mom and many of these chicks enjoy a nice big blast of jizz on their tits, faces or in their open mouths.
Since you don't get any bonus sites and updates seem to come in every month or so, you're probably going to be left wanting a little bit more. Even with the low-end monthly membership fee, it just doesn't seem worth signing up for Amateur Interracial Vids.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 73% Date: 02/27/2010
The score was a little harsher than we figure it should be. This is an amateur site. No paid actors or special make-up. We would have scored it higher. The site could be improved by adding more updates and picture if you care about pics. There are long and short clips that are even labelled so you know what you are getting. If would kind of be misleading if amateur interracial vids' webmaster or webmasters used high quality videos and pics when that if not typical of amateur sites. They pass to me.

text: Ayyana Chakravartula, an Associate in Exponent's Mechanical Engineering practice, recently co-authored a book, "Mechanics of Biomaterials: Fundamental Principles for Implant Design." Brief Description: Teaching mechanical and structural biomaterials concepts for successful medical implant design, this self-contained text provides a complete grounding for students and newcomers to the field. Split into three sections: Materials, Mechanics and Case Studies, it begins with a review of sterilization, biocompatibility and foreign body response before presenting the fundamental structures of synthetic biomaterials and natural tissues. Mechanical behavior of materials is then discussed in depth, covering elastic deformation, viscoelasticity and time-dependent behavior, multiaxial loading and complex stress states, yielding and failure theories, and fracture mechanics. The final section on clinical aspects of medical devices provides crucial information on FDA regulatory issues and presents case studies in four key clinical areas: orthopedics, cardiovascular devices, dentistry and soft tissue implants. Each chapter ends with a list of topical questions, making this an ideal course textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and also a self-study tool for engineers, scientists and clinicians.

Eddie Murphy Working On 'Nutty Professor 3'
5/17/2010 9:10am EDT
Eddie Murphy has thrilled fans by announcing plans for a new Nutty Professor movie.
The funnyman starred as larger-than-life scientist Sherman Klump in two movies, in 1996 and 2000.
The films were both box office smashes - and Murphy admits he's already written a rough draft for a third installment.
He tells Access Hollywood, "You know what; there might be another Nutty Professor. We kind of wrote something that might be kind of funny. If the studios want to do it, we'll do it. If you don't see it, the studio was like, 'This isn't funny.'"

Ok this is probably a Taboo around these parts, but who cycles and smokes cigs(not during your ride)
Ive been smoking since i was 19, slowly working up to a pack n half a day. I switched from Marlboro lights to Natrual American Spirits last year, 100% natrual no additives, they also have a Organic which cost more, smoke those sometimes. I feel alot better switching to natrual chemical free smokes, but still realise if i dont quit i will probably die one of these days, no cig is 100% safe..although these american spirits are much better, i feel so much better then when i smoked chemical laden Marlboro's.
Cut down to 3/4 pack a day this past year aswell due to the higher yield of nicotine in these probably. Nicotine has never been shown to harm anything in your body, it's the tar and 400 other things in smokes that kill you quick.
anyway i want to quit soon, going to try...just curious who smokes and ride bike.

Science & Engineering
Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a space scientist developing telescopes and instruments for satellites. Her passion for communicating her science has also led her back into the classroom, into filming documentaries and appearing on prime time TV with Jeremy Paxman.
What's it like being a research mathematician and figurehead of Europe's representative body for mathematics? Find out in our interview with Marta Sanz-Solé.
If you're interested in maths then Marcus du Sautoy does not really need an introduction: he is well known for his TV and radio appearances and popular maths books. And he's also written for Plus in the past. In this interview he chats about his work as a mathematician and maths populariser.
Heather MacKinlay's work as an engineer has taken her from the civility of Surrey to the wild west of Australian mining towns and multibillion pound projects in the Algerian desert. And along the way she has also become a successful painter. Heather tells Plus that engineering and painting are just different ways of looking at the world, and how her work as a cost engineer is all about understanding the big picture.
Plus bumped into an old friend at the International Congress of Mathematicians this year: Keith Mansfield is the author of the Johnny Mackintosh series and commissioning editor for mathematics at Oxford University Press at the same time. In this interview he tells us how his he's built a career around his two talents, writing and maths.
Why do people become mathematicians? What's it like being one and what are the perks of a job in academia? We talk to young mathematicians at the International Congress of Mathematicians, as well as to established research mathematician Larry Guth to find out.
Genomics is one of the fastest moving areas of science and Gavin Harper, a mathematician and statistician, has put himself right at its centre. He works for Oxford Nanopore Technologies, a company which is developing new technology for analysing molecules and sequencing DNA. With 75 employees from 18 different countries and all sorts of scientific backgrounds, Gavin's work environment is nothing like the solitary paper-and-pencil affair traditionally associated with mathematics.
Andy Green, Royal Air force pilot and Oxford maths graduate, is gearing up to break his own land speed record in Bloodhound SSC, a supersonic car designed to reach speeds of up to 1000mph. He tells Plus about the challenges — and the maths — behind this engineering adventure.
If you're worried that a mathematics degree might limit your career options, then there couldn't be a better person to talk to than Steve Hewson. Find out how his varied career has taken him from the lofty heights of theoretical physics, via the trading floor of a major investment bank, into the maths classroom, and has also seen him writing his very own maths book.
Chuck Gill caught the space bug as a child when watching Alan Shepherd launch into space. Since then he's worked as a US Air Force navigator, a satellite operator, and in the US intelligence service. These days he's busy reducing carbon emissions and preparing London for the 2012 Olympics. Plus went to see him to find out more about his career.

FBI Arrests Two in Methamphetamine Case
|FBI Jackson August 24, 2010
On August 24, 2010, special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and members of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force arrested NICHOLAS JAMES PRASSENOS, age 44, and CHRISTI DAWN TOMPKINS, age 36, both of Hurley, Mississippi, pursuant to federal arrest warrants. According to Daniel McMullen, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI in Mississippi, PRASSENOS and TOMPKINS have been charged in a federal indictment with conspiracy to manufacture more than 500 grams of methamphetamine. These arrests are the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force in Pascagoula, Mississippi, into the manufacture of methamphetamine in south Mississippi. This investigation continues and more arrests are anticipated.
PRASSENOS and TOMPKINS appeared today before United States Magistrate Judge Robert Walker, Southern District of Mississippi, in Gulfport, Mississippi. Both were ordered to be detained without bond until trial, which is scheduled for October 18, 2010.
If convicted of the charges against them at trial, PRASSENOS and TOMPKINS could receive sentences of up to life in prison and fines of up to $4,000,000.
The FBI Safe Streets Task Force is a member of the Gulf Coast HIDTA initiative and receives significant funding from the Office of National Drug Control Policy in Washington D.C. It is made up of special agents from the FBI and law enforcement officers from the Pascagoula, Moss Point, Gautier, and Ocean Springs Police Departments, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
SAC McMullen stressed that arrests and indictments are accusations only and there is a presumption of innocence prior to any judicial proceeding.

ABIT traditionally goes all out with their hardware bundles and the bundle for the KN9-SLI is no exception. They include all 6 SATA cables necessary to fully use the SATA ports on the motherboard. A USB bracket brings the total in the box to 6, a decent number. ABIT tends to include a SLI bridge with all of their motherboards. Even their Intel motherboards like the AW8D and ATI Crossfire boards have an SLI bridge included.
ABIT does one thing well with their software bundles. Every ABIT motherboard I've reviewed has the driver floppies for SATA driver install. The KN9-SLI board comes with both the F6 driver floppy for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP. ABIT also comes with a drivers CD. Without the uGURU chip, there is no uGURU utility for Windows included.

In what would be one of the largest managed service outsourcing deals in telecom, Reliance Communications (RCom) has shortlisted top vendors Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei Technologies and ZTE for a $3-billion five-year contract.
Unlike other players, such as Airtel or Vodafone, who use multi-party vendors for managed services, RCom has decided to give the contract worth nearly Rs 15,000 crore to a single vendor.
The deal would entail outsourcing end-to-end management services, including operational planning of the network (which most companies keep with themselves), management and maintenance of GSM, CDMA and wireline networks, fibre, utilities, internet protocol and field assurance (quality control). Only IT services and customer services will be kept out of the contract. Decisions on new roll-outs will remain in-house.
The contract is expected to be finalised within four-five weeks. Those in the know say the deal could entail the transfer of a substantial part of the 15,000 employees on RCom rolls to the vendor that wins the contract. Discussions are said to be on to fix the number.
An RCom spokesperson declined to comment on the issue. Alcatel, Huawei and Ericsson declined to comment or did not reply to queries.
Currently, RCom has a 50:50 joint venture (JV) with Alcatel-Lucent, announced in 2008 for managed services. Apart from RCom, the company was meant to cater to other operators across the world. However, the domain for which the four vendors have been shortlisted would be much larger and the Alcatel-Lucent JV would be just one of the contenders.
RCom will pull out of its Alcatel-Lucent JV if it is not selected for the new deal. RCom has decided not to go for a JV model with the selected outsourcing partner.
The integrated outsourcing contract will help RCom reduce its cost 15-20 per cent, experts say. Discussions are on with the shortlisted vendors to provide site-wise (tower-wise) network performance rather than the current overall network performance parameters. That should improve quality standards.
The managed services model was pioneered in India by Bharti Airtel, which signed long-term contracts with Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Network and Huawei for 2G and 3G services. Bharti also has an outsourcing deal with IBM for comprehensive IT solutions for a few years.
Vodafone India has two vendors, Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks, with which it has long-term managed service contracts.

Tease and Spin is situated in a traditional cottage in the heart of the Edale Valley in the beautiful English Peak District. The village is well known to walkers as the start of the popular Pennine Way trail and as an access point onto Kinder Scout, scene of the historic Mass Trespass in 1932.
Tease and Spin is dedicated to ensuring that traditional skills, such as the hand spinning and dyeing of wool, are not lost. Demand for cheap, mass produced goods has forced a decline in these skills in recent years. There is now a resurgence of interest, as the quality and uniqueness of handcrafted goods is being recognised.
Tease and Spin promotes the use of local resources, such as wool from local Whitefaced Woodland sheep.
Whitefaced Woodland sheep are a breed native to an area of the southern Pennines where the counties of Derbyshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire meet.

Northern Arizona University will cut 45 jobs and close four satellite campuses as a result of cuts in state funding.
"This is just about the hardest thing I've ever been through," NAU President John Haeger said.
The positions eliminated are primarily in the distance learning and enrollment departments. No faculty members will lose their jobs.
The layoffs come as the three state universities, NAU, Arizona State and University of Arizona, are trying to balance their budgets after the state Legislature cut their funding by $141 million this year. NAU lost about 13 percent of its state funding, or $21 million. The state Legislature has cut funding for the universities, and many other services, because state-tax revenues are down. The state had to close a $1.6 billion shortfall this year, and the outlook for fiscal 2010 is even worse, with a projected $3 billion shortfall.
All three state universities have left some positions vacant and let other employees go. NAU has about 100 unfilled positions. ASU has laid off 285 people, left another 268 positions unfilled and told 205 non-tenured faculty last fall that their contracts won't be renewed. UA has laid off 120 people this year and another 500 positions are vacant.
NAU's layoffs represent about 2 percent of its 2,700-person workforce. Most of the layoffs are at the Flagstaff campus, although 16 jobs are at other locations throughout the state.
The university also will close four satellite locations, in Nogales, Payson, Globe and Holbrook, as well as an office in Avondale. University officials said further layoffs are possible as are universitywide furloughs for the next school year.
The cuts come as NAU is experiencing record enrollment with 22,507 students. To save money, the university has closed computer labs in residence halls and put on hold plans for occupational therapy and physician-assistant programs.
Karla Brewster, president-elect of NAU's Classified Staff Advisory Council, said that employees have known for the past few months that layoffs were likely, but no one was sure where they would occur. Now, they know.
"The not knowing is horrendous as far as the morale on campus," she said.
Charles Connell, a history professor and treasurer of the NAU Faculty Senate, said that the mood on campus is one of concern and sadness.
"We're really unhappy with the idea we're going to be losing people who may not teach in the classroom, but in many ways support the teaching mission of the institution," he said.
Employees also are worried that if the economic continues to struggle, more cuts are possible.
"Everybody is looking over his shoulder a little bit and saying, 'How far does this go? How deep does this go?' " Connell said.

It's easy to get bogged down in earning potential and post-graduate employment rates when we talk about choosing schools and courses of study. But if you don't love what you do, even a guaranteed job is a poor predictor of success. So which majors are better bets for folks who want to give back?
(Photo Credit: jdlasica/Flickr)
PayScale has compiled a list of degrees that improve society, not just graduates' bank accounts. (All majors were selected because PayScale users with those degrees answered "Very much so" and "Yes" to the question "Does your work make the world a better place?") Here are the top three:
1. Nursing
Graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing earn good salaries -- the median for R.N.s with all levels of experience is over $57,000 per year -- while still having a strong sense of giving back to their communities and the world. Registered nurses can work in a variety of medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and doctors office and go on to work anywhere from the emergency room to the ICU.
2. Special Education
Salary ranges for special education teachers are widely variable, but there's no better field for students who love children and have a strong desire to help.
3. Medical Technology (tied with Sports Medicine)
Graduates with this degree work often work in medical laboratories or blood banks and can earn upwards of $60,000, if they go into management roles.
See the full chart, below:

Is the Super Critical Wing in use on modern airliners?
I believe I've heard it was on 717, but I can't be sure. I don't see why more airplanes don't have it, as it does have a lot of advantages.
One of the biggest is that you can hover close to the speed of sound because when the air finally does slow to 759 from 760 MPH, the sonic boom is created at the end of the wing as opposed to the middle where it can create problems. Coffin corner, anyone?

Roswell, New Mexico, Oct 15 (TruthDive): Helicopter pilot and daredevil skydiver, Felix Baumgartner created history after skydiving from a special balloon about 39 km (128,000 ft) high up in the stratosphere. Baumgartner has now become the only man to break sound barrier from outside an airplane.
He has also broken the long-standing records for the highest skydive in history, and the highest balloon flight on record.
Baumgartner during his Sunday jump over the lands of eastern New Mexico desert reached the maximum speed 833.9 mph and completed his mission nine minutes after diving from his capsule. He victoriously lifted his arms high after landing and loud cheers were made by the friends and onlookers inside Roswell control center, New Mexico.
Three hours before, Baumgartner, famously called as "Fearless Felix," took off in a specially made pressurized capsule, which was carried by 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. At 1:44 p.m. ET, when the daredevil was above 34,000 metres from the Earth, Red Bull Stratos made it official: Baumgartner would complete his jump.
In just a few minutes, he opened the door of his capsule at the edge of space and hopped into the history books. After he landed on Earth, Red Bull Stratos team confirmed that Baumgartner reached 1137 km/h — well past the speed of sound.
After landing, Baumgartner said through Twitter that we live to pursue dreams and conquer fears, may our accomplishments and attempts progress humankind. He further said when you are at the top of the world you become humble; you don't think anymore of breaking records, you don't think about getting scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive.
The daredevil is an Austrian, born in Salzburg in 1969;at the age of 16, he started skydiving, developed his aero-acrobatic talents in Austrian military demonstrations and competitions.
In 1990s, he started doing base jumping – leaping off the fixed objects and by using parachute to stop the fall. Then he did many high-profile jumps from very famous landmarks, which were very dangerous. Despite courses of training, the dives and jumps remain highly dangerous.

vertical integration to result in higher profitability and improved cash flows for the company. This is likely to support BILT's debt reduction efforts. Strong Market Position: BILT has a strong market position in the Indian writing and printing paper market, with large shares of the coated paper and uncoated paper (hi-bright) segments. BILT through its subsidiary Sabah Forest Industries Sdn. Bhd. (SFI) has significant share in Malaysia's non-surface sized uncoated paper sub-segment. The strong market shares are, supported by BILT's strong brand presence and large distribution network to cater to the fragmented paper market.
Paper Price Volatility: The volatility in paper and pulp prices impacts the company's profitability. This is reflected in BILT's EBITDA margins improving to 17.7% in FY13 from 16.3% in FY12 (FY11:19.1%). Although the higher level of pulp integration will improve BILT's cost structure, the company will continue to be impacted by volatility in paper prices.
Strategic Linkages with Subsidiaries: Fitch continues to take a consolidated view of BILT. The agency's rating on BIGPH's continues to reflect its strong operational and strategic linkages with its parent, BILT. BIGPH is in the same line of business as BILT and has common treasury and management teams. BIGPH holds a 99.99% stake in Ballarpur Graphic Paper Products Ltd. (BGPPL) and a 97.8% stake in SFI. BIGPH contributes to about 80% of BILT's overall revenue and about 75% to its EBITDA.
Positive: A rating upgrade is unlikely in the forseeable future because it will continue to be constrained by its high debt levels. Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action on include
* Significant improvement in BILT's profitability resulting in EBITDA margin sustained at over 20%
* Substantial reduction in debt levels resulting in BILT's net leverage falling below 4x on a sustained basis
* Improvement in BILT's liquidity
Negative: Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action include
* Any weakening in performance or additional capex resulting in BILT's net leverage exceeding 5.5x from FY15 or beyond
* EBITDA fixed charge cover sustained at below 2x (FY13:1.84x)
* Any weakening in liquidity

WASHINGTON — Kathleen Sebelius, who helped guide the rocky and controversial rollout of President Obama's landmark health-care law, has resigned as Health and Human Services secretary after more than five years.
Obama accepted Sebelius' resignation this week, and Friday he will nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her, officials said.
Officials said Sebelius, 65, made the decision to resign and was not forced out. But the frustration at the White House over her performance had become increasingly clear, as administration aides worried that the early problems at HealthCare.gov, the website set up to enroll Americans in insurance exchanges, would result in lasting damage to the president's legacy.
Even last week, as Obama announced that enrollments in the exchanges had exceeded 7 million, Sebelius did not appear next to him for the news conference in the Rose Garden.

Most Read Stories
The president is hoping that Burwell, 48 — a Harvard- and Oxford-educated West Virginia native and former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation official with a background in economic policy — will bring an intense focus and management acumen to the department. The budget office, which she has overseen since April 2013, is deeply involved in developing and carrying out health-care policy.
"The president wants to make sure we have a proven manager and relentless implementer in the job over there, which is why he is going to nominate Sylvia," said Denis McDonough, the White House chief of staff.
Sebelius has acknowledged her management failures. "Let me say directly to these Americans, you deserve better," she testified at a congressional hearing after the website rollout. "I apologize. I'm accountable to you for fixing these problems."
In an interview Thursday, Sebelius said she had always known that she would not "be here to turn out the lights in 2017. My balance has always been, when do you make that decision?"
Last month, she approached Obama and began talking about her future, McDonough said. The secretary told the president that the March 31 deadline for sign-ups under the health-care law — and the rising enrollment numbers — provided an opportunity for change and that he would be best served by someone who was not the target of so much political ire, McDonough said.
Sebelius arrived in Washington, D.C., as a rising star, a Democratic governor from deeply red Kansas who also had an impressive health-care résumé as a respected former insurance regulator. She seemed to fit into an Obama team that put a premium on discipline.
Administration officials Thursday referred to the many successes during her tenure: the end to pre-existing conditions as a bar to insurance, the ability for young people to stay on their parents' insurance and the reduction in the growth of health-care costs. In addition, Sebelius helped push through mental-health parity in insurance plans and worked with the Department of Education to promote early-childhood education.
The agency she ran helps provide health coverage to more than 100 million Americans through Medicare and Medicaid, and now through the insurance marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act.
After the law passed in 2010, Sebelius and her aides worked to implement it under constant siege from Republicans on Capitol Hill, who tried to deny funding for the job. The agency ran into similar opposition in many Republican-led statehouses around the country.
Burwell is an alumna of the Clinton administration, where she worked as deputy director of the budget office from 1998 to 2001. She then worked for a decade at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, part of the time as its chief operating officer. She most recently headed the Walmart Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Wal-Mart Stores.
Credited for her experience in and out of D.C., she was unanimously confirmed last year for the budget post, long considered one of the most important White House jobs. She is almost certain to face more opposition from Senate Republicans when she is nominated to replace Sebelius, as GOP lawmakers remain focused on derailing the 2010 Affordable Care Act. But a change in the filibuster rules will allow Democrats to confirm her with a simple majority.

Housewives, bankers battle in Chavez militia
CHARALLAVE, Venezuela A 54-year-old housewife fires the machine gun for the first time, lets loose a thunderous burst of gunfire and beams with satisfaction. A boot camp instructor shouts, "Kill those gringos!"
Thousands of civilian volunteers in olive-green fatigues are training over the weekend at a Venezuelan army base, where they learn to crawl under barbed wire, fire assault rifles and stalk enemies in combat. Known as the Bolivarian Militia, this spirited group of mostly working-class men and women - from students to retirees - are united by their militant support for President Hugo Chavez and their willingness to defend his government.
From what exactly?
Chavez has repeatedly warned of potential threats: the United States, U.S.-allied Colombia and the Venezuelan "oligarchy," as he labels opponents. He has called on recruits to be ready to lay down their lives if necessary to battle "any threat, foreign or domestic," even though Venezuela has never fought a war against another nation.
In the meantime, the militia is a practical tool for Chavez to engage his supporters, rally nationalist fervor and intimidate any opponents who might consider another coup like the one he survived in 2002. One close aide, Public Works Minister Diosdado Cabello, said there are already 120,000 in the militia and that it could grow to 200,000.
Chavez opponents call those figures grossly exaggerated, but they're still alarmed that government loyalists are being armed across the country. They also condemn the more than $4 billion that Chavez has spent on Russian weapons, including guns, helicopters and Sukhoi fighter jets which now sometimes thunder over Caracas.
The militia "is a personal army, a Praetorian Guard," said retired Rear Adm. Elias Buchszer, a Chavez opponent. He said despite Chavez's talk about repelling a U.S. invasion, the militia is really aimed at maintaining control, keeping him in power, and "making the country fear that if anything is done the militiamen are going to come out."
Members of the volunteer force range from the unemployed to electricians, bankers and social workers. Most of those interviewed during the training in April said they either benefit from free state education programs or work as public employees. They aren't paid to attend events but receive about $7 to offset transportation costs.
As part of the training, they line up at a firing range aiming decades-old, Belgian-made FAL rifles at red bull's-eyes on paper targets 80 yards (75 meters) away. They practice reacting to an ambush in the forest, camouflaged with mud-smeared faces and with dry grass stuck in the collars of their uniforms.
They crouch for cover behind a pig pen and fire blanks into an abandoned building in a mock raid on hostage-takers. Spent shells clink onto the concrete as shots echo through the building, and one man shouts "all clear!"
Their instructors, including both experienced militia troops and army officers, say one objective is to ready them for a war of resistance against an occupying force. They allude to insurgents battling U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the militia's guiding principles is constantly drilled into the group as they salute in unison shouting: "Socialist homeland or death! We will be victorious!"
As troops gather for one drill, a fake grenade goes off and everyone dives to the ground. One woman is led away crying from the shock, and is given oxygen by nurses to calm her.
Most seem gung-ho for marching in the sun and getting their uniforms sweaty and dirty. Some cover their faces with black dust from the charred earth left by forest fires. They also enjoy the camaraderie, saying they spent one night hiking and watching a Chinese film.

"Unfortunately today was a worse day compared to yesterday. We started quite badly this morning because we had some problems with the rear tyre so we struggled very much in the practice. We had a lot of question marks so we wanted to try the same setting this afternoon. In fact the tyre had a problem because this afternoon it was not so bad. My rhythm and pace for the race is quite good, unfortunately especially Lorenzo, Marquez and Pedrosa are a bit faster. Like the other races, in the qualifying I am unable to do what I want, when I try to push more I create some problems with the bike. The other riders are better than me to use the extra grip from the new tyre, so I have to start from the third row. My rhythm is not so bad so we have to try to fix something."

Losing drag proxy in embed...mouse speed related.
Howdy. Thanks in advance for your help.
I am using DDProxy to drag an icon around. When I am dragging the icon over the toolbar, it works fine, but when I drag it over an embedded graph <embed src= et. /> I 'lose' the icon and it hangs (the icon, not the browser). Interestingly, this is related to the direction of the drag and the positioning of the mouse over the proxy el. I.e. if I setDelta(middle, middle) in my startDrag override, it becomes far less sensitive to losing the icon. When I setDelta() to the corner of the proxy it becomes extremely sensitive (and that is unfortunately what I need).
I suspect the onMouseMove code within my embed is interfering with the dragging code...and that it is a timing issue. Unfortunately my intention is to make the onMouseMove code more complicated, not less (I'm adding some fairly complex functionality to an already complex page).
Any thoughts on how I can workaround this problem would be appreciated.
The embed does live within an ext panel, if that helps at all...
29 Sep 2010 10:54 AM #2
So I think I know 'how' to fix this, but I'm not sure how to implement it.
The embed seems to play havok with mousemove type events. I tried to move all the onmousemove code to the container that encapsulates the embed (container_var.getEl.addListener('mousemove', function), and it performed terribly (the event would fire intermittently only when crossing container boundaries).
My thinking here is I should turn this around and override the DDProxy mousemove event handler so that the embed code is calling it when I'm in the embed.
My question....how do I do this? How do I manually capture and forward the mousemove events to DDProxy when in the embed, but let Ext do it when not in the embed?
29 Sep 2010 1:22 PM #3
I'm calling a delegate of ext.dd.DragDropMgr.handleMouseMove(evt).
However, it expects an Ext wrapped event, not a browser event.
Is there a way I can easily wrap this...a browser event->ext event converter???
29 Sep 2010 1:51 PM #4
It appears Ext.EventObject.setEvent(browserevent) will do this.
Now a related problem crops up...the value for clientY in the onmousemove event for the embed is relative to the embed, not the document. I cannot set a getter...so I'm not sure what the best way to deal with this is...make a writable copy of the event? Is their an easier way?
29 Sep 2010 2:01 PM #5
If I do make a copy (new Object(browserevent)) I get the strange error...too much recursion. I guess the object is way too deep.
Any thoughts on how to correct for the misplacement of the y axis in the embed's onmousemove?
I feel like I'm really close here. The dragged icon does not get lost over the embed anymore (it doesn't hang), rather it is just offset by the size of the toolbar (or double it)..........
29 Sep 2010 2:30 PM #6
I'm looking for a place to override the code that 'pulls' the proxy element back under the mouse so that I can add an offset to the event that I can look for in that code.
Where does this code live? I'm searching and having some trouble finding it...

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
You will have to mask the plugin object with a regular position:absolute div.
Place it on drag start, remove it on drag end.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Wrong tree indeed.
Thank you animal, this worked beautifully.
I included a div in the pages base html with 'display:none and z-index:+' and set its box and display: block in startDrag, and back again in endDrag.
I used document.getElementById() to change its settings...which works great.
Is there a more 'ext' way of doing this, and is there any reason to use it instead of this approach?

This is "the" way to do it.
And you are using Ext to do it (Aren't you?), so it's an Ext way.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

I just meant my implementation of your mask idea. It wasn't obvious to me how to use Ext's DOM wrappers to insert the div, pull it out, manipulate it. Nor was it obvious if there was any real benefit to that vs. GetElementById(), setAttribute() and having the <div> in the page body ready to go.
