text: Ruling over future of brain damaged baby 08 Apr 2014 A baby who suffered irreversible brain damage can be removed from a ventilator keeping him alive, the High Court has ruled. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Even though the five-month-old boy's parents opposed switching off the machine, a judge held that medical staff should not resuscitate him if the need arises.According to Mr Justice O'Hara the child has no quality of life and will only suffer a deteriorating physical condition.He said: "In short he has no meaningful life and no dignity nor will he have in the future."The child, referred to as M, was involved in an incident last month which caused his heart to stop.Despite doctors managing to get it pumping again his brain was starved of oxygen - inflicting overwhelming brain damage.In all likelihood the child has been left blind, deaf, and severely mentally and physically disabled. He is not thought to be in pain because of the extent of the brain damage.M is currently being kept alive by a ventilator because it is believed he could not breathe unaided for more than a short period of time.Successive scans have shown no improvement, the court heard.Doctors treating the baby believe he can never recover to any form of living which does not involve continual ventilation.He would not be able to interact with anyone and would have no recognisable quality of life.As part of their battle against having the ventilator switched off M's parents sent video clips of him in intensive care to a controversial figure, Professor Z, who claims to specialise in the rehabilitation of patients in another country.Mr Justice O'Hara heard evidence from Professor Z that baby M could make a recovery if he was treated with, amongst other things, a technique of neuro-stimulation designed and demonstrated by him.But doctors treating the baby claimed this was little more than massaging his face, head and limbs.The Judge rejected Professor Z's contention that his technique would in any way start to reverse the brain damage.He considered his evidence had merely given a distressed, grieving family false hope where there was none.With M unable to make the decision for himself, Mr Justice O'Hara held it was up to the court to decide whether it is in his best interests to prolong his life by continuing the present medical treatment.He also stressed that doctors were not seeking to take a positive step to end M's life such as through the injection of a drug.Instead it was an application to withhold treatment which is prolonging the child's life artificially.Mr Justice O'Hara acknowledged how the parents had powerfully and movingly expressed their wishes to him.The distress and desperation of M's father is almost unimaginable, he said.But in a verdict published on Tuesday, he concluded: "The extent of the damage to M is such that he has and will have no quality life, he will always be dependent, his physical condition will deteriorate and he will be prone to complications which will require further treatments."The prolongation of his life by ventilation can achieve nothing other than prolongation of life for its own sake."In circumstances of this case I do not believe that is enough."Granting the application sought, the judge further ordered that M should receive the best possible palliative care. © UTV Share Share Share

Aztec Ruins celebrates 90th birthday as monument
AZTEC, N.M. (AP) — Aztec Ruins National Monument in northwestern New Mexico's San Juan County is celebrating its 90th birthday as part of the national park system.
The site's designation as a monument on Jan. 24, 1923 was followed by extensive stabilization work that saved the 900-year-old ruins from being destroyed by erosion damage that initially wasn't halted by ineffective attempts at preservation.
Carla Van West of the Rio Rancho-based SRI Foundation says the creation of the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s Great Depression turned things around with the reconstruction of the ruins' Great Kiva.
The Farmington Daily Times http://bit.ly/YnaUla reports that the work included rebuilding the Great Kiva stone by stone after drainage pipes were installed to divert irrigation water away from the site.

Babymouse, Skater Girl
by Jennifer L. Holm, Matthew Holm
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Another installment of Babymouse. Cute and endearing as ever, still with an elementary-friendly (but subtly-delivered) message.
The books are really, really short, though, and I wonder if it would be better to combine (say) 4 stories into one book. On the other hand, 2 at a time is about my limit for the voice, so maybe these 10-minute volumes are just about right.
This book is about Babymouse and her dream of skating. She goes to the rinkk everyday. A coach sees her and asks to have her on his team. She now trains everyday and soon to be told she quits.
The first winter special for babymouses great exciting adventures
The latest installment in the Babymouse series finds Babymouse taking figure skating lessons. Babymouse has big dreams of winning a shiny trophy and her coach thinks she has natural talent. But will Babymouse have what it takes to train every day before and after school? Will she stick with the skating if it means giving up CUPCAKES??
Another hit from the Babymouse team! Plus, the shiny silver snowflakes on the cover make this a PERFECT stocking stuffer for the young reader in your life.

Dale Lennon
April 16, 2014
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Saluki Football team will hold its annual Spring Game on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Saluki Stadium. There is no charge to attend the game and gates open at 6 p.m.
Fans can register to win a game-used Saluki football helmet signed by Dale Lennon. The concession stands will feature $1 items (hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, popcorn and drinks). After the scrimmage, which is expected to last approximately 90 minutes, players will be available on the field for an autograph session.
Head Coach Dale Lennon met with the media after today's practice.
Did you get what you wanted from your practices this week?
"Yeah, it was a good two days. Today was kind of a wrap-up. We did some live drills on Monday and finished with a live team session. Right now, I'm anxious to see where we're at as a football team. You want to make sure Friday night that there aren't missed assignments and errors. You want to evaluate what type of concepts we're good at and you want to evaluate skill. The component for the young guys is skill evaluation -- where they're at as a football player. When you practice as much as we do, you lose that element of being game-savvy. I'm hoping that on Friday night we can be a little more game-savvy, knowing if it's third-and-long, you play it a certain way, or if it's third-and-short. The very good players have that ability."
How do you expect the defense to respond Friday night after struggling in last weekend's scrimmage?
"Saturday was good for us (defensively). Up until that time, we'd kind of had our way, and finally on Saturday the offense smacked us pretty good and had some success. Sometimes you need that defensively to keep focus. We watched film on Monday and were able to show it was just the little things that we weren't good at. We were maybe a little overconfident and thought all we had to do was show up. I think Friday you'll see a pretty good battle between the offense and defense. It'll be heated."
"We lost a lot of inside `backers and right now that's where we're the thinnest on defense. We have a lot of outside linebackers returning. The concern now is making sure our inside linebacking corps gets to last year's level. Our outside corps looks to be ahead of last year."
How's the health of the team?
"Not too bad. We're a little banged up on the offensive line. We have some players who are not going to play, just to be cautious and allow them to have a good summer and get to 100 percent. Overall, we're going to be able to have a pretty solid scrimmage."
Can you talk about Carl Bivens and Jordan Poole, the two guys who have the most experience at inside linebacker?
"Carl really has had a good spring and stepped forward. He has a chance to be that All-Conference type guy and replaces Bryan Presume. He has a good sense for the football. Jordan is developing his game. He has a lot of experience. You're talking about a guy who has played a lot of football, so his improvement level is not going to be that significant because he's already close to the top level."
Will the quarterbacks continue to rotate as they have in the scrimmages?
"What's happened is, because of our line strength, you're playing the same guys, and that actually helps you offensively, because you won't have a quarterback behind a third-string line. Protection should be pretty solid come Friday and all the quarterbacks can be evaluated on an equal basis. We'll take the yellow jerseys off them, so it will be live."
What has encouraged you this spring?
"I like the chemistry of the team. The reality is we've had an incredible amount of work to do. You don't have the amount of coaching turnover we've had and not have some bumps along the road. You look at us defensively, and you basically have four different defensive philosophies coming together and trying to make it one. We've come a long ways in developing that. You have a new offensive coordinator coming in and a lot of it is brand new. You have a new special teams coordinator coming in. You look at where we were Practice One, to where we are now, we've put some miles behind us."

Beer Chicken Green Chile EnchiladasBy Jennifer Yu
- Recipe TypeEntree
- Prep Time1 hour (using a pressure cooker)
- Yield8 - 10
Jennifer Yu, author of the food blog Use Real Butter, shares her recipe for enchiladas made with India Pale Ale, roasted green chiles and red chile pods.
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb boneless chicken meat, skinned, trimmed of fat, roughly cut (author used thigh meat)
- 4 dried New Mexican red chile pods, topped and seeded
- 12 oz beer (author used Stone Brewing Co.'s India Pale Ale)
- Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 cup roasted green chiles, peeled, topped, seeded and diced
- vegetable oil for frying
- 16 corn tortillas
- 8 cups enchilada sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan or pressure cooker. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the chicken and sauté until cooked on the outside.
- If using a pressure cooker, add the red chiles, beer, and lime juice. Seal and cook on high for 20 minutes (30 minutes at 8500 ft.) with natural heat release. If cooking on conventional stove top, add the red chiles, beer, lime juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer covered for a couple of hours until the chicken is fall-apart tender.
- Remove the red chiles from the chicken and scrape the meat from the skins (discard skins). Chop the chile meat and return to the pot. Add salt and green chiles to the pot. Break the chicken down with a spoon or spatula (or shred with a fork). Simmer until the liquid is almost gone.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a pan wide enough to accommodate the tortillas. When the oil is hot, dip each corn tortilla into the oil until sizzling and remove to a plate. Don't let them fry until crisp—that sort of defeats the purpose. Repeat until all are done.
- Pour some of the enchilada sauce into a large shallow vessel. Dip the tortilla in the enchilada sauce. Place a few tablespoons of chicken filling down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the chicken. Roll the tortilla up and set in a baking dish. Repeat until all are done.
- Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas until covered. You should have a cup or two remaining. Set aside. Bake the enchiladas for 15-18 minutes. Heat the remaining enchilada sauce.
- Serve the enchiladas with extra sauce and some queso blanco sprinkled on top. Great with refritos and guacamole!

[UPDATE] 5-9 -Capitol News--
Florida turned down so much money for high speed rail that the Feds had to spread it out among 15 states.
Governor Rick Scott turned down the 2.4 billion dollars earlier this year over the objections of lawmakers. Today the Federal Department of Transportation divided up the money to states ready to build rail systems. Brad Ashwell with Florida Public Interest Research Group, fought to try and save the state's high speed rail project. He says without rail, gas prices will keep raising.
"The only way to really lower gas prices it to decrease our fuel consumption and the best way to do that is through public transit. It's expensive, but it's a worthwhile investment and we need to do it," said Ashwell.
The rail would have run from Tampa to Orlando. Some studies claim it would have created 40-thousands jobs. Scott says most of those jobs would have been temporary and he says he killed the project because the state would have been on the hook to pay for the rail if it didn't generate enough customers to pay for itself.
The Obama administration is giving Amtrak and rail projects in 15 states the $2 billion that Florida lost after the governor canceled plans for high-speed train service.
A Department of Transportation statement Monday said the largest
share of the money -- nearly $800 million -- will be used to upgrade
train speeds from 135 mph to 160 mph on critical segments of the
heavily traveled Northeast corridor.
Another $404 million will go to expand high-speed rail service
in the Midwest, including newly constructed segments of 110-mph
track between Detroit and Chicago that are expected to save
passengers 30 minutes in travel time.
The money had initially been awarded to Florida for high-speed
trains between Tampa and Orlando. Gov. Rick Scott canceled the
WASHINGTON (The News Service of Florida) -- April 14, 2011 -
And now nobody will get any high speed rail money this year. The budget steal struck on Capitol Hill late last week aimed at keeping the federal government open struck the entire $2.9 billion that would have been available for states to use for high speed rail, much of it money that Florida threw back into the pot. In fact, Gov. Rick Scott earlier this week took credit for making some of that money available for Congress to cut from the budget when he rejected money for high speed rail for Florida. The New York Times on Tuesday called the scrubbing of high speed money a major setback for the Obama administration, which has wanted to spend more than $50 billion over six years to get high speed rail going in the country in an effort to catch up with Japan and some European countries where it's common. Twenty-four other states had sought some of the money the Scott administration rejected.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- April 6, 2011 -
Federal transportation officials say 24 states, the District of Columbia and Amtrak are competing for $2.4 billion in high-speed rail money that was to have gone to a project in Florida.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement released
Wednesday that his department is reviewing 90 rail project
applications requesting a total of $10 billion.
The deadline for the applications was Monday.
Last month, LaHood took back the $2.4 billion that had been
designated for a Florida project that would have connected Tampa
and Orlando with high-speed trains. Gov. Rick Scott canceled the
project, saying he didn't want to obligate the state to make up any
operating losses.
A state government report had forecast the project would be

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Speculation: Is Silas the New Klaus?
If there's one thing we're most curious about before The Vampire Diaries Season 4 finale, it's Silas. He may be stone at the moment, but there's no way of knowing what exactly lurks behind that rocky facade. Is Silas as foxy as Klaus (Joseph Morgan)? Could such a thing be possible? Could anyone other than Klaus be so deliciously evil? Probably not, but that certainly doesn't rule out a new evil hottie invading our favorite magical town in all of Virginia.
While there may only ever be one Klaus, that particular Original is currently living it up in New Orleans, fighting his enemies and coming to grips with his impending fatherhood. This definitely opens up a job in the department of evil-doing in Mystic Falls, and Silas has stepped into that willing, happily, even.
Sure, it might seem like Silas is out of the picture at that moment. But if it was Bonnie's (Kat Graham) power that turned him into faceless stone, maybe her spells die along with her body. And in a promo for the finale, lots of members of the Five show up to find Silas so they can give him the cure.
Who knows what Silas is capable of? Besides, he's proven on more than one occasion that even if Bonnie's spell stays in tact, he has more power than anyone thought.
It's hard to imagine a villain with lips as sexy as Joseph Morgan's, but Silas has titillated our imaginations by hiding his face. If you'd asked us a few weeks ago whether or not Silas was sexy, we probably would have gagged. But we were taking our information from the distorted face he revealed to Bonnie. In this most recent episode, Silas crowed that even Bonnie had never seen his true face; all bets are off.
There's little doubt that Silas has the magical clout to rise again and make more mischief in Mystic Falls, especially with a potential army of furious undead at his disposal. Whether or not he'll also be foxy remains to be seen.
But don't worry Klaus, you can keep letting the good times roll in NOLA, we'll always have a place for you in our hearts.

Yedioth Aharonoth says Israel to conduct test explosions in desert on Tuesday to calibrate equipment for geophysical station which can identify nuclear testing in Iran
Yael Branovsky
Published: 01.02.07, 12:28 / Israel News
Yael Branovsky
An Israeli research institute will identify nuclear testing in Iran – Tuesday afternoon will see a series of three controlled explosions in the Negev desert in an effort to improve the ability of the geophysical monitoring facility stationed near Eilat.
Researchers will detonate 15 tons of explosives near the Oron phosphate quarry in the northern Negev desert, creating the comparative effect of an earthquake measuring 2.4 on the Richter scale.
Though the tremor will only be felt in the immediate vicinity of the site, Israel has sent word of the experiment to neighboring countries in advance.
Dr. Rami Hofstetter who heads the Geophysical Institute of Israel explained the objectives of the experiment to Ynet. "One of our goals is to examine the influence of post-earthquake tremors and see how we can determine the potential damage that might be caused by them.
We're seeking to research the behavior of the tremors, which can be caused not only from an earthquake but also a nuclear explosion or anything similar to it."
Dr. Hofstetter added that the facility in question was built in 1974 and its purpose is far from classified: "Our station is open to everyone.
Anyone can come and visit, no authorizations are necessary. People who are interested in our work can come and observe, thousands of residents from Eilat have been to the facility."

Free agent defensive end Dewayne White met today with coaches and front office personnel.
Wide receiver Kevin Curtis plans to meet with them tomorrow.
The Lions need a defensive end. White played for Detroit coach Rod Marinelli when he was the defensive line coach at Tampa Bay.
Curtis played for offensive coordinator Mike Martz when he was the Saint Louis Rams' head coach.
The Lions were 3-and-13 last season, and an N-F-L-worst 24-and-72 since 2001.

Swingman C.J. Miles will meet with the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, the first day of free agency, reports Fox Sports Ohio's Sam Amico. The 27-year-old is likely going to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and seek a larger role elsewhere, Amico later added.
Miles was an efficient shooter with the Cavs the past two seasons, averaging 10.6 points in 116 games with 38.8% three-point shooting. He was signed to a very reasonable two-year $4.45 million deal back in 2012. The signing was likely the best contract handed out by the Cleveland organization in the post-LeBron James era.
Throughout the 2013-14 season, the Cavs played very well with Miles' much-needed floor-spacing. Although he only played 984 minutes, the Cavs were +2.4 per 48 with him on the court. He battled a handful of injuries and played in only three games after the All-Star Break.
In Indiana (or nearly anywhere else), Miles could provide excellent bench scoring. The Pacers offense stagnated throughout the year and he'd play a nice complementary shooting role alongside the scrappy Lance Stephenson, if he re-signs.
There's no doubt going to be a market for C.J. Miles in the shooting-crazed NBA world of 2014. I'm a bit disheartened that the Cavaliers don't seem to be that interested just yet. His $2.89 million cap hold is currently on the team's books. The Cavs have expressed early interest in Washington's Trevor Ariza, another active shooter who should have a much more expensive price tag.

KLEM News AM - December 13, 2010
Jane says she got started in art by watching a relative do oil paintings.
She further explains why she settled on watercolor instead of oils.
Jane grew up in Le Mars and when she and her husband moved back to town in the '70's, she was surprised to see her subject matter chance from flowers and landscapes to architecture .
Over the years Jane has done quite a bit of commissioned work painting the homes and barns of many people in the area.
Every artist has a different creative process, Jane explains hers.
When looking at her work you can see that she plays with scale, color and shadow to make things more whimsical than a plain photograph would express.
Jane has now been working with watercolor since 1974. In her 35 years of painting she has taken many workshops to develop her talent. She guesses her lifelong body of work is nearing the one thousand mark. Jane's current project is a series of 5 pictures for St. John's Lutheran Church.
If you want to see or buy any of her pictures, she has a studio in her home and is up for visitors anytime, as long as you call ahead. To see some of Jane Schultz's work, log onto KLEM1410.com.

Local Lending Program Completed
(LE MARS)--A business programs specialist in Northwest Iowa for U-S-D-A Rural Development has completed a lending program.
According to Bill Menner of U-S-D-A Rural Development, the Iowa Banker's Association Commercial Lending School training was completed by Kim Clay.
Clay is a business programs specialist in the Le Mars office of U-S-D-A who works with lenders and businesses in northwest Iowa counties including Plymouth, Sioux and Woodbury.
Funds are used for home mortgages, improvements to community facility and infrastructure projects such as health clinics, community centers, public safety buildings and water and wastewater systems as well as business and economic organizations.
Wind picks up as storm blasts through Iowa
AMES--Much of Iowa was under a wind-chill advisory on the heels of a winter storm that brought blizzard conditions to the upper Midwest.
The storm that started Saturday brought blinding snow and strong winds. The National Weather Service reports that more snow fell in the northern part of Iowa, with many places seeing 8-10 inches. Waukon reported up to 12 inches. Communities in the southern part of the state got 1-3 inches.
Most of Iowa was under a wind-chill advisory until Monday morning. The weather service's office in Des Moines was forecasting gusty winds that would make the temperature feel like 20-below in some places.
The storm forced the closure Saturday of portions of Interstates 29 and 80 in western Iowa. They reopened Sunday.
Trial rescheduled for January in fatal Iowa crash
COUNCIL BLUFFS--The trial for a Nebraska man charged in an Iowa crash that killed four motorcyclists has been rescheduled for January.
Andrew Schlichtemeier of Murray, Neb., faces four counts of vehicular homicide in the crash. Authorities say the 22-year-old was drunk when he swerved into oncoming traffic on Interstate 29 near Little Sioux, killing the motorcyclists.
Schlichtemeier has pleaded not guilty.
Court records show a trial set for this past week was postponed until Jan. 11.
Schlichtemeier remains in jail on $200,000 bond.
Killed in the Aug. 9 crash were Dennis Chaney and Dale Aspedon, both of Glenwood, Steven Benscoter of Pacific Junction and Jay Bock of Omaha, Neb.
Iowa woman accused of stealing from auto shop
BURLINGTON--A West Burlington woman is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from the auto shop where she worked.
The Burlington Hawk Eye reports that 39-year-old Gidget Linkin turned herself in to police on Friday on a charge of first-degree theft. She's since been released from jail.
Police say an audit of Carquest Auto Parts' finances showed questionable invoices dating to January 2009. An estimated $39,000 was missing from the business.
Police say Linkin told investigators that she falsified receipts and took money.
Jurors to begin deliberations in Iowa arson case
BURLINGTON--Jurors are expected to begin deliberations Monday in the trial of a Burlington man accused of burning down his house.
The Burlington Hawk Eye reports that a Des Moines district judge gave the case against Kenneth Dix to the jury late Friday afternoon but postponed deliberations until Monday.
The 66-year-old Dix is charged with arson and criminal mischief in the October 2009 fire.
Prosecutors say Dix called authorities and asked if it was illegal to burn his own home. Authorities say Dix then told a Des Moines County sheriff's deputy to call the fire department and hung up. The state fire marshal's office ruled the fire an arson.
Dix's attorney says no crime was committed because no insurance claim was filed and Dix and his wife owned the house outright.
Iowa gets $469K to prosecute sexual predators
DES MOINES-- Iowa has been awarded $469,000 to investigate and prosecute sexual predators who target children.
A release from the state Division of Criminal Investigation says the grant will be used by investigators in its cybercrime and sex offender registry units. The money will cover new computer equipment for online investigations, overtime pay and training for staff and educational materials for the public.
The grant is among 24 awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Iowa man shot in chest by another deer hunter
BOONE-- A Boone man has been hospitalized after being shot while hunting deer in Boone County.
A release from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says 27-year-old John ``Randy'' Roberts was shot in the chest with a shotgun about 10 a.m. Sunday. He was flown to a Des Moines hospital with an injury believed to be non-life-threatening.
State officials say Roberts was shot by 19-year-old Austin McBirnie, of Boone, who was part of a group hunting along the Des Moines River between Madrid and Luther. The Natural Resources department says McBirnie was shooting at a deer that had run between him and Roberts.
Air Force jets were too low during Iowa flyover
IOWA CITY-- Air Force jets were flying at a fraction of the minimum altitude required during a military flyover before a University of Iowa football game last month.
An architect says the top of the Kinnick Stadium press box is 137 feet above ground level. Videos and witness accounts show the four Talon T-38 Trainer jets appeared to be at or slightly above that level during the flyover before clearing the south scoreboard, which is 112 feet above the ground.
Under Air Force regulations, jets generally must have an altitude of 1,000 feet above ground level when they are flying over populated areas. The precise altitude of the jets is unknown and will be determined as part of the internal investigation into whether the flyover violated Air Force rules.

Can you focus on the laptop screen using wifi and the Canon remote control app?
Yes you could focus on a laptop screen, a face, a tree or any object really.
(OK just kidding I know what you are asking.)
Yes, from the PC, I was able to run "Live View Shoot", and was able to focus on anything anywhere in the frame, not just over a focus point of the camera.
I just focused on something in the extreme lower right of the frame and it racked the lens in and out until it found best focus.

The 65Q will give you a nearly PERFECTLY flat FOV with the full frame sensor. It is massive! just awesome!
My biggest regret in ALL of my gear purchases and sales(and there have been a LOT! was selling the 65Q!
With the 5D Mark II I had at the time, that combo was simply amazing.
I could only imagine the wonderful images possible with the 6D(which is even better than the 5DII) and a HyperStar C11..
And it will compliment your 7D very well.
Good luck!
FWIW, Here is a HH & Flame to M78/Barnard's Loop I shot using that combo above..UNcropped..
(check out the "original" image..)
and here is a **100%** crop from that image!!
***100% Crop***
Not that these are the best images or anything, but they will show you how well the scope takes a Full Frame sensor without any special FF's,etc..it is pretty amazing for only ~$500-600!
Dangit I miss that scope...guess it is time to buy another one LOL
Good luck!

Was your 5D mark II modified for astronomy when you took your HH&flame pict?
First off, GREAT shot!! That really is a well done image of that area. congrats!
Yes, my cameras get modified within days of me receiving them! lol
The only time I have not done that was with my latest current camera, the Nikon D800.
And believe me, I wanted to modify that camera for months...it was torture..lol
But, it is modified now.
And this was only done because I wanted to take some (2-3k) shots pre-mod so that I could replicate some of them again post-mod and see how they compared(for personal reasons, and also to test the camera for AP for posting online.)
This was done ONLY for daytime though..I wasnt able to take any pre-mod AP image due to my mount being on the fritz...I wanted to see what the differences and performance would be for daytime without the AA filter (meaning this camera now performs like a D800E, but is ALSO perfect for AP allowing 100% Ha transmission
Now I just need some clear skies and a working GEM to test the D800 for AP...
I have seen a couple people using the stock D800 for AP and the results are actually quite amazing...
Sorry for taking your thread OT!

|Imation Launches World's First 'Disk-As-Tape' Media Cartridge
Rugged, Low-Cost Media Delivers High Speed Disk Backup and Restores to Tape Environment
OAKDALE, Minn., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imation Corp (NYSE: IMN), a worldwide leader in removable data storage media, today announced its new Ulysses(TM) technology -- the first disk-enhanced removable media cartridge. The Ulysses solution was developed to radically accelerate tape automation by integrating a hard disk drive (HDD) into a standard tape cartridge form factor for deployment in any tape library environment.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051003/CGM018 )
The new technology addresses the needs of tape users looking for a disk- to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) solution to improve restore time without having to adopt a complex new system or invest in hardware or software modifications. And a Ulysses-equipped library can restore files up to 10 times faster than a tape-only library.
"Today's environments demand multi-level data protection. Users want to shrink their backup windows and quickly recover critical data when they want it, without a lot of complexity or additional expense," said Dianne McAdam, senior analyst and partner, Data Mobility Group. "Ulysses is the first technology to combine the benefits of tape -- low cost and portability -- with the backup and recovery speeds of disk."
Ulysses is a Serial ATA (SATA) 2.5-inch disk drive in an LTO Ultrium cartridge form factor. Used with the Ulysses tape drive emulator, this disk- enhanced removable media accelerates backup and restore performance and resides within an existing tape library. The emulator fits in any standard tape drive bay and is recognized by the host, backup software and storage management software as a standard tape drive.
The Ulysses technology can be simply integrated into a legacy tape environment -- delivering the performance of disk at almost the same cost as tape. Other key benefits include:
"We believe the Ulysses solution enhances the performance of tape by allowing businesses to realize the high speed performance benefits of disk without experiencing the high costs of forklift disk-to-disk upgrades. Because it can easily be integrated into current tape library systems, the Ulysses solution provides users with a less expensive alternative," said James Ellis, general manager, Global Product Strategy at Imation Corp. "The removability, portability and unlimited storage capacity of the Ulysses technology, combined with the benefit of high-speed backup and restores, makes it a truly groundbreaking technology for small to mid-sized businesses."
Because the Ulysses tape drive emulator emulates an LTO drive and the Ulysses media has the same form factor as LTO Ultrium cartridges, users can simply "drop in" the Ulysses cartridge into the existing automated tape environment with no changes to floor space, wiring, cooling or other infrastructure challenges.
Imation's Ulysses technology will be generally available in 2006. Product pricing and additional information on the Ulysses solution is expected in Q4 2005. For more information, go to http://www.imation.com/ulysses .

Seeking redemption: Justine Henin played her first official match down under today since her controversial retirement in the 2006 Australian Open final. Last year, the World No. 1 skipped the Australian leg of the tour completely to deal with her divorce from Pierre Yves-Hardenne.
The Belgian looked in devastating form, dismissing Estonian qualifier Kaia Kanepi 6-2 6-0 after a walkover in her first match at the Medibank International in Sydney. Afterwards, Justine expressed her feelings about being back saying,
"I left Australia with a strange feeling two years ago and I wasn't here last year, so its a great feeling to be back again, [...] I feel really comfortable about what happened and I have no regrets. I was feeling so bad. I wasn't healthy enough to play that match. It's pretty tough in a Grand Slam when you're not 100 percent to take your chances and take the opportunity. [...] I wanted this title so much so it was tough, but I don't have anything to prove to anyone. I'm here because I love tennis."
Clothing sponsor adidas has hooked up the World No. 1 with the same design we loved on Alicia Molik. Here we can see additional details on the back including the yellow tie at the waist and the side slits on the skirt. Also, the 'hint of border' we mentioned on Alicia's post is, in fact, a full border on the skirt.
We much prefer the white + wine color combo over this bright blue, but the design is still tops.

Los Angeles Times - Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie must pay back the NFL for his non-participation in the Pro Bowl.
The NFL said Friday it will require a $4,285 reimbursement from McKinnie for expenses incurred that week in Miami. McKinnie skipped most of the team practices and obligations, and was then dismissed from the NFC all-star squad.
NFL spokesman Randall Liu also said McKinnie has forfeited his $22,500 game check.

Makeup tips and tricks for vampires and blind girls and those who aren't afraid of the dark
Posted on Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 1 am by Yasmine Galenorn
My guest blogger today is one of my dearest friends, Sassy Outwater. Sassy is…well…what isn't she? Sassy is a brilliant musician, she's writing a book, she works for the government, she's smart and funny and beautiful and shares my love of corsets. She's sooo many things. And…Sassy is blind.
I asked her to guest blog today, because one day on Twitter, I mentioned I had some makeup pics on my site and one of my readers said she couldn't see them because she was blind, and that she was nervous about using makeup. And I thought immediately of Sassy, who doesn't let her lack of vision stop her from doing much of anything, including applying makeup (and she does it well). So ladies, blind or not, Sassy's got some great tips for you. I'll chime in with my own this week, as well.
ALSO…Sassy has a great contest for you (which I'd enter but that wouldn't be fair!!! I may enter anyway, but I'm not in the running for the prize). –Yasmine
Sassy Outwater:
If you're still reading, then you've consented to giving your mirror and light bulb the middle finger. Good for you! It's better over here on the dark side.
5 hints for perfect makeup in the dark or without a mirror
Hint 5. try before buy
All makeup is NOT created equal. Go to Sephora, the makeup counter at your local department store, or to a beautician you trust, and ask to try various products until you find the one that makes you comfortable. Not the one the lady at the counter says everyone likes. Not the one that you saw on TV that looked like the miracle cure. And most definitely not the one your mom got you for your birthday two years ago that you dug out of the back of a drawer where you shoved it because you couldn't even figure outwhere that weird-smelling yellowish gunk was supposed to go on your face! Nope, not that one either. Pick the makeup that works for you.
My favorite makeup store is Sephora. The customer service reps will often help you to apply the makeup in steps. Ask if they can apply the makeup to one side of your face and then coach you as you do the other side by yourself. Feel their hand gestures, ask what the colors look like against your skin tone, talk to them about colors and things you like, celebrities, TV shows or books, anything that may give them a sense of your style. Often makeup is tailored to a specific occasion, such as day or evening.
Allow them to help you select an everyday look, and one or two additional colors to spice things up at night. If you have trouble applying something they hand you, don't be afraid to say "That doesn't work for me. Can we try something else?" They get paid to help you, so don't be shy to take up their time and try the product. That way, when you get it home and do it by yourself, you've already learned the basics.
Hint 4: Coverage:
Choose a foundation that evens your skin tone, conceals blemishes, and gives your skin a natural healthy glow. When applying foundation, be careful to do so before dressing, or with a towel held just below the chin to catch any excess that may fall on your clothing. I get out of the shower, moisturize, then apply a light mineral foundation from Bare Essentials. Their new foundations are highly pigmented, so just a few S-shaped glides of my brush gives me good coverage. I set my foundation with a light mineral veil powder and a little cream makeup primer. The end result is a natural look, not too overdone, but just enough to help my skin face the day. Find a routine that works for you and your skin.
Hint 3: Accentuate:
Blushes, bronzers, glitters and glimmers…Anytime you add color to the face, the key is blending and placement. Bronzer when dusted across the cheeks and nose gives your skin a healthy sun-kissed look and darkens pale skin. Blush lends a rosy glow to the apple of the cheek, and should be lightly brushed across the arch of your cheeks, just over the jut of your cheekbone. Glitters and glimmers can add a sparkle to your skin in the right lighting, and when used correctly can be the perfect finishing touch to a knockout evening look. Learning your own facial coloring is the key to properly accentuating it.
Hint 2: Eyes and lips
Eye shadows can range from neutral flesh-toned colors to neons, metallic, shimmers, sparkles, glitters and any color you can imagine. Then there's eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow penciling…
Let's break it down into a few simple steps.
Eye shadowing can be done with anywhere from one to four colors, starting with a neutral base color on the lid, a contrasting color just over the lashes, darker color in the crease of the eye between the lid and the brow, and a light highlighting tint to the brow bone. There are countless ways to shadow eyes, just remember to brush your cheeks carefully with a clean makeup brush to remove excess shadow pigment when your done.
Do your best to make the same movements on each eye. Start with the lid and work your way upward, moving from the inside of the lid outward. Once you have finished applying shadow to your eyes, use a contoured brush or your fingers and gently blend the shadows into one another and into your skin. When applying mascara, pinch the bridge of your nose lightly between thumb and forefinger to keep from accidentally poking yourself with the wand.
Open your eye, and gently blink your lashes against the bristles of the mascara wand, moving it slowly to the end of your lashes and repeating. Once the mascara has set for a minute or so, you can lightly touch your lashes to see if you have missed any spots. Don't worry too much about the corners of your eyes, that will come with practice.
For lips, follow the smile; touch your smile with clean fingers to discover it's shape and contour, then outline it with the lipstick or lip gloss, staying above the curve of the lip, and being careful not to get color on your teeth. If you do, use a clean finger or good old spit to scrub it off. Find a lip color for your style. If you can't see the lip colors… you guessed it. Ask.
Hint 1. Blending.
Use clean fingers to gently rub your jawline, cheeks, and brows to remove excess makeup and smooth out any sharp lines. I use a clean powder brush at the very end to dust on a light invisible powder and remove any lines I may have accidentally left. The keys to good makeup in the dark are routine, cleanliness and organization. I buy differently sized brushes so that I know which brush goes with which product. And I NEVER mix. My foundation brush is always my foundation brush. My bronzer brush is always for my bronzer. No exceptions to that rule or I might turn orange.
Keep eye shadows in organized rows in a holder, dark to light, or in a pattern that makes sense to you. Same with lip colors. Buy blushes, bronzers and powders that feel different or label the containers with tape or Braille. Wash your hands before touching your face once you begin to apply makeup. Put things back where they belong. Clean your brushes well according to the packaging instructions, and store them carefully so that colors can't contaminate one another.
I often have blind women tell me (sighted women for that matter too) that they are too scared to try makeup for fear of messing it up. Guess what? Even pros mess up! Carry makeup wipes in your purse, but don't let a little fear stop you from experimenting. Try it once or twice and see how you like it. It's not for everyone, but you'll never know until you just do it. Get sexy… with the lights off. And if you do… I wanna know about it. Try to put your makeup on in the dark, without a mirror. If you are sighted, take a pic, savor the memory, laugh about it with your friends, or amaze yourself with your talent.
If you are blind, maybe trying makeup for the first time, start with something simple, like mascara, lipstick or foundation. Get good at that, then add the next step. Then, enter the contest.
Here are the rules:
There's a New Year's Party at the Wayfarer tonight, and you've got an invitation. A charmed invitation. For one night, you get the power of glamor. Be anyone, anything you want to be. Only catch, this is a Dark Party. No lights on in the joint. How will you be seen? What will you be? Tell me how you make an entrance.
I'm up on stage with a fiddle in my hand, with a leather-clad rock band around me, and we're waiting for you to come take the dance floor by storm.
Yasmine is hanging at the bar, and she may have brought some or all of the Otherworld crew with her… You'll have to go ask. I'm just the hired fiddler for this gig.
So…How do you go clubbing at the Wayfarer Dark Party jam?

CB Emergency Channels
The Australian Government has legislated certain channels on the CB bands for emergency use only. The use of these channels for non-emergency communications can not only incur heavy penalties under the CBRS Class Licence and Radiocommunications Act, it could also cost someone their life if a call for help is missed due to interference.
The legally allocated emergency channels are:
- on the HF or 27MHz band - channel 9 (on 23 or 40chnl sets).
- on the UHF band, channels 5 and 35.
View how to call for help.
The UHF CB band used in Australia is unique to Australia and New Zealand. In Australia both channels 5 AND 35 have been legislated as emergency channels. Why? Very simply, channel 35 is used by repeaters operating on channel 5 as an input channel, so any transmissions on channel 35 can totally block any nearby channel 5/35 emergency repeater. In other regions, channel 35 is allocated for use as a secondary emergency channel.
Many people do not realise that UHF 35 is also an allocated emergency channel, and so they use it to chat between themselves potentially blocking any emergency call from being received on a repeater they probably don't even know exists! But an even bigger problem is the use of 5 and 35 by those totally unaware they even have a UHF CB. ALL of the now popular UHF hand-held units, sometimes called Communicators, FRS, Personal UHF Radio, or simply 40 channel UHF Radio, operate on the UHF CB band and are subject to these allocations. These sets are becoming more popular as toys for children, or for families to use to chat from car-to-car while travelling.
Emergency Repeater Locations
There are a number of repeaters operating on UHF 5 and 35 across Australia. These are licensed as Emergency Channel repeaters and are provided by a number of different organisations and businesses. To locate repeaters in any region of Australia visit the TropiNet website.
Legally Allocated!
Some people claim that the emergency channels are not legally allocated by any government legislation, or are nothing more than a "gentlemans agreement" that does not need to be observed or can not be enforced. This is totally incorrect!
Since the legalisation of CB in Australia certain channels have been allocated for use for specific purposes. These were call channels and emergency channels, with road channels (commonly called truckies channel) legally recommended for such use. When individual licences were abolished these regulations were not removed, they were implemented into the Class Licence that automatically covers every person that uses a CB. The Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence is federal legislation that replaces the need for each person or station to hold an individual licence, but it still governs how CB can and can not be used, and sets penalties for improper use. The Class Licence is made under the powers of the (federal) Radiocommunications Act 1992, and is enforced under that Act. The following is an extract from the Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence 2015.
6 Conditions - generalA person must not:
(a) except in an emergency - operate a CB station on:
(i) carrier frequency 27.065 megahertz (HF channel 9); or
(ii) carrier frequency 476.525 megahertz (UHF channel 5); or
(iii) carrier frequency 477.275 megahertz (UHF channel 35); or
Note: In an emergency mentioned in subsection 49 (1) of the Act, if a carrier frequency mentioned in this paragraph is not accessible, it is preferable that a carrier frequency mentioned in paragraph (b) should be used.
The ACMA define an emergency in the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2000, Schedule 1:
Schedule 1 Dictionary
emergency signal means:
- a request for assistance; or
- a signal of distress; or
- a message that is related to a request for assistance or a signal of distress.
Operating in a manner that contravenes the conditions of the Class Licence is punishable under the Radiocommunications Act due to subsection 132, paragraph 3, of the Act, which specifies:
So, in essence, if you operate contrary to the provisions specified within the Class Licence, you could be liable to prosecution for operating an unlicensed radiocommunications device:
46 Unlicensed operation of radiocommunications devices(1) Subject to section 49, a person must not operate a radiocommunications device otherwise than as authorised by:
(a) a spectrum licence; or
(b) an apparatus licence; or
(c) a class licence.
(a) if the radiocommunications device is a radiocommunications transmitter:
(i) if the offender is an individual-imprisonment for 2 years; or
(ii) otherwise-1,500 penalty units; or
(b) if the radiocommunications device is not a radiocommunications transmitter-20 penalty units.
Heavy Penalties
In January 2007 ACREM sought information from the ACMA on the current penalties for misuse of the emergency channels. The response from the ACMA advises that the following penalties can apply:
- For misuse of the emergency channels such as using for non-emergency purposes, the operator can be prosecuted for operating without a licence, as indicated above. Maximum penalty is 2 years imprisonment, or a fine of up to $165,000. Alternatively the ACMA can issue an infringement notice for an amount of $220 for minor offences.
- For interference to an emergency call in progress then section 193 of the Radiocommunications Act provides for a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment or $550,000. This offence can only be dealt with via court.
Section 193 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992:
193 Interference in relation to certain radiocommunications(1) Subject to section 196, a person must not, without the ACMA's written permission, use a transmitter in a way that the person knows is likely to interfere substantially with radiocommunications carried on by or on behalf of:
(a) an organisation specified in the regulations that is:
(i) a fire fighting, civil defence or rescue organisation; or
(ii) an organisation providing ambulance services; or
(iii) any other organisation the sole or principal purpose of which is to secure the safety of persons during an emergency; or
(b) the Royal Flying Doctor Service; or
(c) the Australian Federal Police or the police force of a State or Territory.
(a) if the offender is an individual-imprisonment for 5 years; or
(b) otherwise-5,000 penalty units.
Our thanks to the NSW Regional Office of the ACMA for providing this information.
More information on this subject can be obtained from the federal agency that enforces the Class Licence and the Radiocommunications Act - the Australian Communications & Media Authority (ACMA). Although many people think that the ACMA don't care, ACREM has been involved in a number of instances where, following information provided by ACREM members, operators causing interference to the emergency channels have been located by ACMA field staff using Radio Direction Finding equipment and issued infringement notices or charged to appear before a court. Even mobile stations or those using low powered hand held equipment can be tracked and located, and a number of operators using this kind of equipment were located in late 2006 by ACMA staff in Brisbane and issued infringement notices due to their operation on the UHF emergency channels. ACREM continues to work with the ACMA to help keep these channels clear for their allocated use, in the interests of everyone's safety.
Throughout Australia there are various volunteer groups, like ACREM, that monitor the emergency channels relaying calls for assistance from the community to the required services.
In some country regions Police and other emergency services may also monitor and/or use UHF channel 5, however this is not guaranteed as circumstances vary from region to region.
Report Misuse of Emergency Channels
As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting the CB emergency channels, ACREM has embarked on a campaign to identify and educate businesses or government agencies using the emergency channels for routine communications. An example of the type of businesses already identified and contacted include:
- Traffic Controllers;
- Road Works crews;
- Cranes loading/unloading ships;
- Security;
- Council workers.
If you know of a company, organisation or government agency that is incorrectly using the emergency channels, please help us to reduce interference by sending us the details. ACREM will contact the company/organisation/agency and provide information regarding the emergency channels and other legally allocated channels on the CB bands. You can use the Contact Form to send this information to us, or visit the Contact Directory to find the email addresses used.
Please make sure the following information is included in your message:
- The name of the company/organisation/agency;
- The location that operations were conducted from/to;
- The date(s) and time(s) that the transmissions occured;
- Any names or other forms of identification heard;
- Any other information that may be relevant.
Retailer Education
Another ongoing campaign is to provide retailers with accurate information regarding the CB bands. With UHF CB equipment now being sold by discount stores, hardware stores, car spares stores, as well as electronics retailers, it is not surprising that some sales staff have limited knowledge about the CB emergency channels, or the entire Class Licence.
ACREM is seeking to identify retailers that provide incorrect information about the CB bands, so that we can send the retailer and, where appropriate, their head office, information for distribution to sales staff. Retailers of particular interest include those where sales staff advise:
- that there are no laws or regulations governing the use of CB in Australia;
- that you can use any channel you wish on CB bands;
- that there are absolutely no restrictions regarding channel uses;
- that the 'licence-free' UHF hand-helds are not CB;
- any other information that could cause a new user to misuse the emergency channels or other legally allocated channels.
If you have recently visited a retailer and have found that sales staff provide incorrect information about CB, please consider sending us the details. You can use the Contact Form to send a message to this programme, or visit the Contact Directory to find the email addresses used. The information you send should include:
- The name and address of the retailer;
- If possible, the name of the sales person spoken to (or a brief description);
- The date you visited the store;
- The information provided by the sales person.
How to call for Help
To call for help simply follow this procedure:
- Select the emergency channel on your CB - Channel
9 AM or USB on 27 MHz sets (channel 5 if it is an old 18 channel CB), or Channel
5 on the UHF Band (select 'Duplex' or 'Repeater' mode if in range of a channel
5/35 emergency repeater, otherwise use 'Simplex' mode - i.e. turn your Repeater
or Duplex button OFF).
In some country regions, emergency Monitors may monitor other local UHF repeaters in addition to, or instead of, the emergency repeater. If no response is received, try other local channels.
- Call "Any emergency monitor, this is (give your call-sign or first
name) calling any emergency monitor"
- Give the Monitor time to answer! If no response is received within 30 or so
seconds, call again.
- Respond with the nature of the incident, exact location and other
information. Don't worry if you aren't sure what information to give, the
Monitor will ask you for the information that he/she needs in order to notify
the required services.
- IMPORTANT! Emergency Monitors can NOT offer first aid or medical
advice over the radio under any circumstances. If absolutely necessary, they
will contact the Ambulance Service or a Doctor and relay any advice they may
- There may be times when an Emergency Monitor is not available, or can not hear you. Atmospheric conditions can do very strange things to radio signals, and a local Monitor may not be able to hear your call above the level of interference being received at his/her location. If no one answers your call on the emergency channel, try other channels, especially UHF Channel 40 or HF Channel 8 (Road Channel) or other local repeaters (UHF Band).
REMEMBER! Emergency Monitors are volunteers often using their own radio equipment to listen for people needing help. It is impossible for any volunteer group to guarantee 100% coverage 24/7 without a large number of volunteers and funds. ACREM is constantly seeking new members and/or donations so they can expand operations and provide better coverage on the emergency channels, especially during major incidents. CB does save lives so if you have a CB at home and some spare time, no matter how little or how much, or even just a couple of dollars, why not help us to help you! Contact us for more information.
Emergency 000
The CB Emergency Channels are not a replacement for 000! In Australia Triple Zero (000) is the primary emergency call service number - if you have access to a telephone you should use it to call for help rather than your CB. Calling for help using a telephone is very simple:
If you are using a mobile telephone you can also use the digital mobile emergency number of One One Two (112). This redirects to the Triple Zero (000) service but allows you to make contact as long as you have a signal from any mobile telephone provider (even if you have no signal from your own provider there may still be a signal from another provider that you aren't aware of!). 112 also works even if you have no SIM card inserted or the SIM card is damaged. Many mobile telephone handsets will also bypass keypad lock once 112 is dialed (check your phone user manual and your service provider to confirm this number is available).
These days most mobile phones and networks offer the same enhanced service when you dial Triple Zero (000). Check with your phone user guide and your network provider to confirm if your phone will offer the same enhanced features when you dial Triple Zero (000).
Using the telephone to contact Triple Zero (000) allows you to speak with the required service directly rather than via a relay. This can save time if they need to ask you questions regarding the incident. So remember, if you have a telephone close by, and you can use it, then please contact the emergency services that way. However! If you do not have a telephone at hand, you have no phone coverage, you are unable to use the phone you have (e.g. can't stop the car, etc), or you need to go and search for a public telephone, then please try the CB emergency channels immediately. The key to any emergency situation is to obtain help as quickly as possible, so if you have immediate access to a telephone use it, but if you don't or can't, then use your CB!

Dear dudes,
The bike home from work was the superfun-times. Let's all pour one out for Ullr.
Classic: skids that make Teadogg look like a little baby, Mexican dudes asking if I need a ride home, same looking baffled and amused when I decline the offer and can't wipe the ****-eating grin off my face.
Dud: Jeans, overheating.
(here's an idea: let's keep all Chicago wintry ride talk/planning here, eh? Am I the only one that's into keeping things tidy like that?)
Also: I'm heading out for some more in a bit -- bright green Marmot jacket, ski helmet, stupid look on my face. Holler.
When you going out?

I've also gotta get out of the stupid work clothes. The ONE day I don't wear "appropriate" gear for the commute.
Yeah...I'd be down to get a drink or something and have an excuse to go out.

That was about an hour ago. My first ride in the snow. Good times, good times
Definitely not! I was almost home and went through a walgreens parking lot that had some ice chunks in it. Nice fall though!
chomping on ice while riding in the snow is the cat's meow. it doesn't really hurt that much and, **** yes, it's so much fun.
Ate it once and only once on the way back tonight. I, uh, did it on purpose....

I will destroy.
This is why riding on the southside is *way* better than up north - last night an older southside couple looked at me as i was riding by, passing cars in 6 inches of snow, and said to one another "that guy is like a stealth bomber - dark and fast!" (i was wearing dark clothing).

For the Hamburg High School boys' basketball team, wins have been tough to come by in recent years. The Hawks are coming off a season in which they were 0-10 in the Berks League and 3-19 overall. With a new coach, the Hawks will begin work on turning the program around.
Ryan McGinley has taken over as the head coach of the Hawks, and its his charge to turn the Hawks into a winning team.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge of developing a winning basketball program in Hamburg," said McGinley. "Our team goals this year are to improve each and every game. If we can do this, we can be a competitive team within our conference."
The good news is that there will be plenty of experience on the team. The Hawks return five seniors and six juniors, with three of the starters from last year coming back.
They will be led by seniors Joshua Kisha and Patrick Barter. Kisha was second on the team in scoring last year with 184 points (8.8 points per game). Barter was third on the team in scoring with 170 points (8.1 points a game).
"We anticipate Josh and Pat to both have very impactful senior seasons," said McGinley. "Patrickand Joshua will play forward this season and the team will rely heavilyon their inside presence. Patrick is an athletic post player, who can runthe floor very well. He has a quick first step and can be at his best when
attacking the basket. Josh, who will play opposite post of Patrick, is a forward who can be a threat from the outside."
Also coming back this season will be juniors Nicholas Schlottman, Julian Warner and Daniel Fink.
Schlottman averaged 2.5 points per game but will be relied on more heavily this season and should increase his offensive output.
Warner will also get a lot more playing time this season and should contribute with his shooting abilities. McGinley hopes that he can provide some pop from beyond the arc.
Fink will be the starting point guard for the Hawks and has developed into a very good player with the ball.
"He has developed into a quality point guard who can get to the basket," said McGinley. "He has the ability to shoot off the dribble when attacking the basket, or distribute to a teammate."
Sophomores Jared Lesher, Lucas Hauck and Logan Adams will all have a chance of seeing some varsity time this year. Lesher and Hauck give Hamburg an inside presence off the bench while Logan will come of the bench from the guard position.
Also on the team this year are seniors Matthew Prince and Tyler Seidel. Both played on the team as freshman, but have not been on the team the past two seasons.
Nobody is expecting the team to turn things around all at once. It's a matter of taking it one step at a time. The Hawks have the experience to certainly improve on last year, but how much they will improve is still a question.
"To have a successful season, we have to compete at the highest level," said McGinley. "As a team, we have to do the little things, like limiting turnovers, rebounding the basketball and making good decisions. If we can do these things, we can have a successful season."
The Hawks open the season on the road at Kutztown on Dec. 10. Their first home game will be three nights later against Tulpehocken.

Generally, VAT on imports is the same rate as if you were buying
goods from within the UK. But you need to do the right paperwork,
and know the rules. Importing from within the EU is fairly
straightforward, but it's a little more complicated importing
You need to tell HMRC about all goods you import from abroad -
known as declaring.
An accountant is always worthwhile for more complicated tax
affairs, but this guide can give you an introduction to the rules
and an idea about whether you think you'll be able to handle VAT on
imports on your own.
How much is the VAT (acquisition tax)?
Keeping records of the VAT (acquisition tax):
Reclaiming the VAT (acquisition tax):
On your end of year tax return, you put in the
details of your total acquisition tax into box 9. You include it in
your total in box 2.
Other documentation you might need:
You need to declare good imported from outside the EU to HMRC
(using an import declaration form) and pay VAT and duty due on
How much is the VAT?
Keeping records of the VAT:
Reclaiming the VAT:
The following rules apply whether you're importing from within
the EU or outside it:
Declare: to tell HMRC about goods you are importing
or exporting through the correct paperwork (an import declaration
form and any other forms necessary)
Free circulation: means good have come from another
EU country or from somewere outside the EU but with VAT and duty
Released: when HMRC allows you to bring the goods
into circulation, to use or trade them (when all VAT and duty has
been paid)
Acquisitions: what you call importing within the
Acquisition tax: the VAT on goods bought/imported
from within the EU that are in free circulation (the equivalent of
input tax on goods bought within the UK)
What about if I'm buying services abroad? Do I need to
take account of VAT with them?
Yes, in some cases. If you do, you act as both the supplier and
the buyer, so you charge VAT then also claim it back, so the VAT
cancels out leaving you with no charge (this is known as reverse
charging, or 'tax shift'). But as services abroad is a more complex
affair, you need to speak to HMRC to find out what to do.
What if I'm sending the goods straight onto another EU
You may not have to pay VAT. Read more about this case on the

I am trying to find out what powers the authorities have over companies who issue EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130 certificates with their equipment.
For example, if a component is delivered and it's quality is lacking, what course of action do you have? Obviously you would not normally buy from that company again but sometimes, especially with old aircraft and obselesence, you have no choice. Where is it laid down what the responsibilities the companies have and the redress you can take through the relevent authority?
The EASA web site is not the easiest to navigate.....
