Burt Munro - a Southland speed legend
The late Burt Munro, is one of Southland's most celebrated legends, and tributes to him have become popular attractions.
1 / 4
The New Zealander, immortalised in The World's Fastest Indian movie, was a speedbike racer that set land speed records in Utah in the late 1950s and 1960s on a highly modified Indian Scout motorcycle. He is most famous for his under-1000cc world record (an average speed of 183.586mph - 295.45km), set at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. The record still stands today.
Herbert James 'Burt' Munrowas born near Invercargill in 1899. He spent years modifying a 1920 Indian motorcycle before setting his first New Zealand speed record (120.8mph - 194.4km) in 1940. During 10 visits to Bonneville he set three world speed records.
His efforts and achievements are the basis of the 2005 movie starring Anthony Hopkins. His life is also celebrated in permanent displays around Invercargill, with the Southland Museum and Art Gallery and E Hayes and Sons both paying tribute to him. The latter sells World's Fastest Indian memorabilia and has two of Burt's bikes on display; he sold them to the store after a stroke in 1977 hampered his riding ability.
Burt was 68 and riding a 47-year old machine when he set his last record. He died in 1978.
Since 2006 the life of the legendary racer has been celebrated in Southland with the Burt Munro Challenge. The 6 day event is held in different locations around Southland which include Oreti Beach, where Burt originally trained for the Bonneville Salt Flats as well as Teretonga Park raceway, the most southern FAI approved raceway in the world.

More stuff to come as we find it and find time to post it ....
Information theoretic methods
The main text book for this stuff (as it relates to ecology and wildlife biology) is Burnham and Anderson's Model selection and multimodel inference: a practical information-theoretic approach (2002, 2nd Edition).
James Peterson (USGS Coop Unit, U. Georgia) has posted some useful notes on calcuating AIC, model averaging, etc. here
Some papers on the topic:
Johnson, J.B., and K.S. Omland. 2004. Model selection in ecology and evolution. TREE 19: 101-108.
Stephens et al. 2005. Information theory and hypothesis testing: a call for pluralism. Journal of Applied Ecology 42: 4-12. A response by Lukas et al. is here, and a rejoinder by Stephens et al. here.

Arnold, T.W. 2010. Uninformative parameters and model selection using Akaike's Information Criterion. Journal of Wildlife Management 74:1174-1178. A nice explanation of how to interpret models with delta-AIC<2 properly.
Bayesian methods
An nice friendly intro to Bayes here, with more of the same here (hipsters beware).
A useful way to successfully implement negative binomial regression here.
Demographic modelling and Population viability analysis (PVA)
Probably the best book for understanding how to do PVAs is Morris and Doak's Quantitative Conservation Biology: Theory and Practice of Population Viability Analysis (2002). All of the MATLAB code from their book is available for download here.
Another excellent book, though with more emphasis on the broader implications of PVA and less on direct implementation, is Beissinger and McCullough's Population Viability Analysis (2002) at least some of which can be viewed on Google books here.
Kent Holsinger has posted an excellent summary of the basics of PVA here, with explanations of Leslie Lefkovitch matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, sensitivity analysis, etc.
There's a neat site here that helps you see how a Leslie matrix work.
Here's a reading list that I've used to introduce people wanting an introduction to population modeling in birds. (Links may not work unless you have journal access, e.g., via UConn libraries.)
- Shaffer, M.L. 1981. Minimum Population Sizes for Species Conservation. BioScience 31: 131-134. (A good starting point for learning about the topic.)
- Shaffer, M.L. and F.B. Samson. 1985. Population size and extinction: a note on determining critical population sizes. American Naturalist 125: 144-152.
- Crouse et al. 1987. A Stage-Based Population Model for Loggerhead Sea Turtles and Implications for Conservation. Ecology 68: 1412-1423. (A good introduction to the use of sensitivity analysis to guide conservation decisions.)
- Beissinger, S.R. 1995. Modeling Extinction in Periodic Environments: Everglades Water Levels and Snail Kite Population Viability. Ecological Applications 5: 618-631. (This paper shows how environmental variables that affect demography can be incorporated into models.)
- Elderd, B.D. and M. P. Nott. 2007. Hydrology, habitat change and population demography: an individual-based model for the endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow Ammodramus maritimus mirabilis. Journal of Applied Ecology 45: 258–268. (Useful because it is an individual-based model - also the species choice is a good one for our lab group.)
Papers from our group's work that might be useful:
- Reed, J.M., C.S. Elphick, and L.W. Oring. 1998. Life-history and viability analysis of the endangered Hawaiian stilt. Biological Conservation 84:35-45. (This paper looks at sensitivity analysis in a way that accounts for the feasibility of different management actions, rather than in strictly mathematical terms.)
- Ellis, M.M., and C.S. Elphick. 2007. Using a stochastic model to examine the ecological, economic and ethical consequences of population control in a charismatic invasive species: mute swans in North America. Journal of Applied Ecology 44: 312-322. (This paper looks at the ways that demographic models can look at different aspects of the both biological and societal aspects of management decisions involving non-native species.)

Summer is fun, but it can also present some health risks, especially for children. Here are some safety tips to help make your child's summer a safe one.
Bike Safety
- Protect your child's head. Make sure your child always wears a helmet that fits properly.
- Check the bike to make sure the brakes are working. Also, the tires should be fully inflated.
- Adjust the seat to your child's height.
- Teach your child to check for traffic before entering a street or intersection.
- Show your child how to get off the bike at an intersection and walk it in a cross walk.
- Explain the rules of the road to your child. Bicycles are considered vehicles and must obey the same rules as motorists.
- Teach your child the proper hand signals for left turn, right turn, and stopping.
- Never allow your child to wear headphones while riding. Headphones will block traffic sounds.
Scooter/Skateboard/Skating Safety
- Make sure your child has the proper protective gear—a helmet, wrist guards, and elbow and knee pads. The gear should be used every time.
- Teach your child to stay away from cars and other vehicles and to ride only on the sidewalk or paved off-road paths.
- Make sure your child rides only during the day.
- Never allow your child to wear headphones while riding. Headphones will block traffic sounds.
Water Safety
- Never leave children alone with any body of water, including a pool, bath tub, or spa.
- As the supervising adult, be within arm's length of young children who are swimming. You should know how to swim, be able to rescue someone, and do CPR.
- Have your child wear a Coast Guard-approved floatation device. The vest should properly fit your child and be comfortable.
- Have your child take swimming lessons. Remember that even a child who knows how to swim is still at risk for drowning and will need constant supervision.
- Explain pool and water safety. Make sure your children do not run or play rough near the pool.
- When swimming in open water, choose an area where there is a lifeguard.
- When the depth of the water is unknown, teach your children to go into the water feet first. Jumping or diving can result in injury.
- Body parts and hair can be trapped in the pool drains. Be sure that the pool has drain covers or a filter system to release the suction.
- Fence in all pooled areas with a locking enclosure. In addition, you may want to get a pool alarm or rigid pool cover. If you use a lightweight, floating pool cover, be extra alert to the potential for drowning accidents. These covers do not keep people from falling in, and no one should ever crawl or walk on them.
- Be aware of the weather. Never let your children swim during a lightening storm.
Sun Safety
- Use sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 and apply to your child 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. Even if it is cloudy outside, your child still needs sunscreen.
- When possible, dress your child in light-colored fabrics that cover exposed areas.
- Make sure that your child drinks plenty of water to reduce the risk of dehydration.
- Try to avoid midday sun. This is when the sun's rays are the most intense.
- Encourage your child to wear a wide-brim hat and sunglasses.
- Children should never be left unattended in a car. Even days with temperatures as low as 57 degrees can lead to dangerous heat inside the car for children.
Backyard/Playground Safety
- Always supervise children when they are using play equipment.
- Be sure that children are wearing the appropriate clothing and shoes.
- When installing playground equipment, make sure it is free from obstructions, such as walls and fences.
- Teach your child safe play habits, including sitting in the center of a swing and not twisting the swing chains, which can reduce the chain's strength. In addition, tell your child to never walk in front of or behind moving swings.
- Because of the risk of serious injury, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that trampolines should never be bought for home use. Trampolines should not be considered a type of play equipment.
- Keep children away from areas where lawn mowers are being used. Never allow children to ride on mowers.
- Make sure your child understands that the grill is not a toy. Keep your child from playing near it.
Bug Bite Safety
- Make sure your child wears shoes. This will help minimize the risk of a bee or insect sting on the feet.
- Use insect repellent sparingly on older children and never on infants. Wash off the repellent as soon as your child comes indoors.
- If your child develops hives or wheezing after an insect sting, it may be due to an allergic reaction. Get medical attention right away.
- Check your child for ticks.
If you do find a tick,
remove it
by doing the following:
- Use a pair of tweezers to grasp the tick by the head or mouthparts as close to the skin as possible.
- Pull directly outward, gently but firmly, with steady even force. Do not twist the tick out. Try not to crush the tick's body or handle it with bare fingers.
- Do not put a hot match to the tick or cover it with petroleum jelly, nail polish, or any other substance.
- After the tick is removed, swab the site thoroughly with an antiseptic to prevent infection.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. You like chrome? We like chrome! Everyone likes chrome!
It appears that goingincirclez has discovered The Most Malaise Motor Vehicle Ever Built. It started life as a 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and then the legendary Moloney Coachbuilders took over and made it… the God Of Malaise. I'm speechless, so we'll let goingincirclez take over:
This car (along with 5 other Malaise Cadillacs and 4 Malaise Stingray Vettes) is parked for sale at a small-time dealer lot near my home in Frankfort, KY.
Now we all know how bad the 70's were in terms of fad lux; malaise era performance was an oxymoron, so metal gussied up with the Leisure Suits DuJour was many a nameplates raison d'ete. I mean, you had Granadas of all things amping Faux Lux to an art, but even cars like the Lincoln Mark IV weren't any more genuine in materials (I know because I owned a Granada and currently own a 75 Mark). But this Gilded Gauntlet of Gauche is certainly new in my lifetime... and it was OEM-built this way! Can you tell what it is... and what it was trying to be... before the 5th picture?
"Enjoy", because I think this car has nearly every bad 70's lux cliche - taken to wretched excess. Let's tally:
- Vinyl roof? Check. Heck, it'll see your wimpy new-money Landau roof, and raise you a partly-vinyl DOOR!
- Landau bar, regardless? Check. In case there was any doubt.
- Opera windows? Stand back because this baby has not one, but TWO... straight off a Ford Elite!
- Chrome? The Santa Fe Super Chief would bow in inadequecy.
- Redonculous androgyonous hood ornament? Somewhere, a Deusenberg weeps.
- Faux spare tire Hump? A Mark IV also cries...
- ... because it can only WISH it had a VINYL hump.
- On the other hand, at least the Mark IV did the "Rolls Grille" a proper, understated l'homage. I mean just look at that freaking grille surround. How many wrecks did this car cause from reflecting sunlight into the eyes of unsuspecting, Pinto-driving plebians?
- But we can all thank our heavens that the tint is impenetrable, or who knows what terrors that contrasting RED LEATHER INTERIOR would spring. Speaking or red leather interiors, were the matching painted brake calipers free?
- Really, the only Faux Lux Cliche this thing lacks is Coach Lamps. But wouldn't you trade those for vinyl doors, twindoperas, streamliner chrome AND a landau bar for the win?
According to the seller (a Cadillac collector who owns several others besides those currently for sale) - Monroney Coachbuilders apparently sold and built 274 (oy vey!) of these in 1976. From what little I can find online, Monroney began in the late 60's by building stretch Lincolns to order in the Chicago area, and tried to win more contracts direct from Ford around that time. But they somehow fell out of favor with Ford, and so began using GM chassis instead. But apparently they were used to Lincoln styling cues...
Oh, and a couple weeks ago I thought it had been sold! Was moved to a different part of the lot earlier in the day; on my way home in traffic, I saw it at the McDonald's drive-thru! Yeah, I know if I bought an uber-pimpmobile the first place I'd take it would be for some QPC attitude. But the next day, it was back on the lot. Still, what an official dealership food-getter eh?
Hope you enjoyed that. I don't have a commenter name yet but if it did it would be "goingincirclez". I have a new site/pseudo-blog at that name.
BTW a coworker and I are planning an entry for the 24 Hours of LeMons... we currently have access to a 94 T-Bird and a 91 Cougar - possibly even both for $500. We're planning on Carolina for next year... possibly Ohio or sooner if all the planets align!

UBS news
UBS Consumption Indicator rises in June
The sharp increase in new car registrations was the main driver of the rise in the UBS Consumption Indicator in June.
After a revised level of 1.71 in May, the UBS Consumption Indicator rose to 1.81 in June, its highest level since July 2008.
The UBS Consumption Indicator is calculated from five sub-indicators: new car registrations, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight stays in hotels by Swiss citizens, the consumer sentiment index and credit card transactions via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland.
The rise in the Consumption Indicator in June is attributable to the sharp increase in new car registrations. The increase in the number of domestic overnight stays in hotels by Swiss citizens and improved consumer sentiment also contributed to this positive result. Business activity in the retail sector, however, was disappointing.
According to the estimates of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, private consumption was 2.3% higher in the first quarter of this year than in the previous year after being adjusted for inflation. We expect the Consumption Indicator to rise further in the coming months. Several of the components used to calculate the Consumption Indicator are set to improve considerably in the coming months, for example, the consumer sentiment index and business activity in the retail sector.

During the winter months, it is necessary to offer protection to certain North Carolina landscape plants. Winter protection does not mean to keep plants warm, as this is virtually impossible, but to provide protection from damaging wind, heavy snow and ice, the alternate freezing and thawing of the soil beneath the plants and heat from the sun on very cold days.

The initial focus of tribal responders during an incident may be similar to that of local responders: directed toward abating immediate public safety threats. The degree of tribal response will depend upon the training and capabilities of tribal responders relative to the needs of the specific emergency. In some cases, this may be using hazard awareness training knowledge to identify the nature and scope of the hazard. This information is then passed on to other responders who are activated to address the situation with specific expertise and/or capabilities. Tribal agencies may take mitigating actions of a defensive nature to contain the incident and protect the public.
There are currently 35 federally-recognized tribal governments in Region 5. As set forth in the 1984 EPA Indian Policy, "EPA recognizes tribal governments as sovereign entities with primary authority and responsibility for the reservation." The Indian Policy also states that EPA "will view tribal governments as the appropriate non-federal parties for making decisions and carrying out program responsibilities affecting Indian reservations, their environments, and the health and welfare of the reservation populace." EPA works with each tribe on a one-to-one or "government-to-government" basis. Visit EPA.gov to see a list of tribes and links to further information: www.epa.gov/tribal/region-5-tribal-program
A major role of tribal government agencies during emergency incidents on a reservation is providing security for on-scene forces and equipment. For large incidents, help may be requested through Federal or State emergency management agencies. This includes establishing local liaison with reservation hospital, emergency services, and police personnel, as well as restricting entrance to hazardous areas to only essential personnel.
Response capabilities of Tribes in Region 5 vary. Some tribes may be able to provide technical expertise to assess environmental and public health threats and damage, as well as to advise local responders. Summaries of emergency preparedness capabilities for individual Tribes in Region 5 are included in sections following as information becomes available. Omission of a tribe here should not be taken as an indication of lack of response capability or readiness. Contact names for individual tribes are included in the appendices to this plan.
Tribes are natural resource trustees for resources on tribal reservations and resources protected by treaties (including ceded territories). Tribes designate contacts for notification purposes. Federal OSCs should note these may be different individuals than those shown as the contact for spill notification for other than natural resource impacts.
Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) are available to advise responders when response actions may impact tribal historical or cultural resources. If impacts on such resources are identified, the response should be adjusted to protect those resources where feasible and if time is available.
Responses by Federal OSCs to environmental emergencies within a reservation are conducted in consultation with the Tribe. Notification of tribal natural resource trustees about a spill or notification of THPOs about a proposed response action does not meet obligations to consult with the Tribe. Consultation is defined by US EPA or USCG policy, and responders and decision-makers from each agency will adhere to their agency's policy. The EPA Consultation Policy, the Guidance, related documents, and answers to frequently asked questions may be found at www.epa.gov/tribal.
The USCG Consultation Policy of Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments under Executive Order 13175 can be found at the following link:
The Chair of each Tribe in Region 5 should designate a lead staff person to direct Tribal response operations. [This tribal lead is responsible for coordinating and communicating with other Tribal agencies, as appropriate (NCP 300.180).] Tribes may form a Tribal Emergency Response Commission (TERC) or the Tribal Chair may serve as a one-person TERC under SARA Title III. Individual Tribes also may choose to coordinate with a SERC (or SERB in Minnesota) and/or with LEPCs. Each Tribal Chair may also designate a representative for the Tribe on the RRT5. Each Tribal representative may participate fully in all activities of the RRT5.
The Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians has a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Emmet County Emergency Management Agency, which also covers Cheboygan and Charlevoix Counties, and with Northwest Michigan Community Health Agency. The Tribe is a member of the Counties Emergency Center. The Tribe has five first responders trained in the 40-hour HazMat training certification course. They are the only trained and certified HazMat responders in the three-county area.
Responsible parties (RPs) for spills occurring within the reservation and on off-reservation Band properties shall report the incident to the Mille Lacs Band Department of Public Safety, Emergency Management Coordinator via cell phone 763-360-2729 (available 24/7) or pager 320-202-4123 (available 24/7).
Non-tribal RPs may also choose to report the spill by contacting the State of Minnesota Duty Officer at 651-649-5451 and 800-422-0798 (in-State long distance), who will notify the Mille Lacs Band Department of Public Safety Emergency Management Coordinator. This reporting option does not waive any jurisdictional claims that may be made by the 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation government.
The 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation tribal government has an established Tribal Emergency Response Committee (TERC). The Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) under the Director of Public Safety is responsible for providing information to the TERC, which has overall direction and control of Reservation government resources involved in the response to an emergency within the reservation. The EMC also serves as primary liaison with the Mille Lacs County, Aitkin County and Pine County Emergency Management Directors. The 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation tribal government has regional Emergency Management mutual aid agreements in place with the above three counties as well as Tribal Police agreements with Mille Lacs and Pine Counties. During a major disaster, the Reservation's Emergency Operating Center (EOC) will be activated to direct and control the Reservation's response.
The 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation government has approximately 36 full-time staff available to respond to or monitor response to spills and environmental emergencies. These positions are in the Department of Public Safety and Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
The primary response role of the 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation government is intergovernmental coordination, oversight and advice. The above personnel are responsible for complaint investigation and emergency spill response and generally oversee the environmental aspects of spill containment, control, and mitigation, in conjunction with other nontribal responders. If necessary, ERT staff will proceed to the site to provide coordination and assistance in handling the emergency. Appropriately trained staff within the 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation government can provide hands-on response with air, water, soil collections and testing. It is anticipated, however, that all initial spill response will be conducted by emergency responders from local units of government and/or the RP. Environmental mitigation (after the initial response) associated with material spills will generally be conducted by the RP.
Under the authority granted by U.S. Presidential Executive Order 13084, signed in 2000, the 1855 Mille Lacs Reservation tribal government implemented an Emergency Operations Response Program to coordinate initial response efforts for releases. All response and cleanup conducted within the reservation and on off-reservation Band properties must be done in accordance with Mille Lacs Band statutes 11 MLBSA §§ 11 and 101-128.
The Commissioner of Natural Resources is the designated Natural Resources Trustee for the Tribe in accordance with Mille Lacs Band statute 11 MLBSA §2002 and the Chief Executive is the trustee for all Reservation Resources in accordance with Mille Lacs Band statute 4 MLBSA §6.
Overall direction from an oil or hazardous materials spill comes from the unified command system used by the TERC. The reservation has its own Tribal Police Department and fire response comes from off-reservation fire departments.
Since tribal ownership of land inside and outside the Reservation is very checker-boarded, the tribe follows the NIMS incident command system in which response starts with Reservation first. If the tribe expends all of its resources and staff, the tribe may choose to request assistance from federal, state, and local authorities and resources.

Defining Reasoning and Proof
|Introduction | Pattern Recognition | Repeating Patterns | Reasoning About Repeating Patterns | Growing Patterns | Classification | Your Journal
Simply defined, reasoning is the use of logical thinking to make sense of a situation or idea. Reasoning is a natural part of childhood. Young children use reasoning when they play games, classify items, solve problems, observe their surroundings, and listen to others.
Reasoning skills develop at a rapid pace in early childhood. Even before they enter school, children have many experiences with refining their thinking as their reasoning skills advance. For example, when young children first learn the word "ball," anything in their environment that is round is called a ball: The moon is a ball. A watermelon is a ball. But as children begin to identify additional characteristics of a ball (round, spherical, a toy), they refine their thinking about the items that do not fit this more sophisticated understanding. New words become part of their vocabulary to describe the items that were once known as "ball."
Reasoning with mathematical concepts follows a similar pattern. Children begin to reason about big mathematical ideas, and, as they mature, they refine or expand their ideas with the use of logical thinking. By making conjectures -- guesses made on the basis of experience or information -- and testing those conjectures, students make sense of the mathematics they are learning.
In this section, we will take a closer look at the use of patterns and classification in the early grades to help children reason about mathematical concepts.

In Type 1 diabetes (most often in younger people), there is too little insulin. This occurs because the cells making insulin were destroyed by your body when it confused parts of those cells with an outside infection and attacked them. Taking insulin is usually necessary, but we will talk about how to prevent complications of the diabetes. Avoiding both sugar and dehydration (drink water) are critical here. The good news is that there will likely be alternatives to insulin shots and we are even creating the ability to put new insulin creating cells back into your body in the future. For now though, frustrating and annoying as it is, please stay with your medical program of insulin and monitoring your blood sugar. Instead of sugars, use Stevia and use sugar free candies, ice cream, chocolate, etc. Enjoy your pleasure, but since the Atkins diet came through, there are sugar free ways to do it.
In Type 2 diabetes (usually in overweight adults) there is plenty of insulin, but the insulin does not work (called "insulin resistance"). This is triggered by being overweight and genetics. In men, if associated with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, it is called "metabolic syndrome" and is often caused by testosterone deficiency (a blood level under ~ 450 should be treated). In women, paradoxically, an elevated testosterone can cause diabetes.
When blood sugar goes too high, it spills into the urine, pulling water with it. This causes increased urination and thirst. When this happens in Type 1 diabetes, dehydration can cause your blood sugar to skyrocket and put you in the hospital. Stay hydrated!
Complications of diabetes (heart, vessel and nerve) can often be prevented naturally.
1. Lose weight if you are overweight. This restores your own insulin's effectiveness and is often enough to make the diabetes go away—especially if you add regular exercise to your regimen.
2. Avoid sweets (Stevia, artificial sweeteners, and sugar free chocolate with maltitol like the "Russell Stover" sugar free brand are OK).
3. Increase fiber intake.
4. In men, if the blood testosterone level is under 450, consider bioidentical testosterone hormone by prescription.
5. For Type 2 diabetes, I prefer the above recommendations, and the medication metformin to insulin. Though you may need insulin, it simply causes more weight gain and more insulin resistance in the long term. Because of these, use these other treatments so your doctor can get you off your insulin.
6. Take the Energy Revitalization System vitamin powder. The vitamins B12, B6 and Inositol can help prevent (or heal) diabetic nerve injury. Treating the magnesium deficiency routinely caused by the diabetes helps decrease the risk of heart disease (do not take if you have kidney failure without your doctor's OK though). The antioxidants may decrease the damage from the high sugar, and other components may help increase insulin sensitivity. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased diabetes risk as well.
7. Take the supplement lipoic acid 300 mg 2x day to prevent and treat diabetic nerve pain.
8. If you have diabetic nerve injury, add Acetyl-L-Carnitine 2,000 mg a day. Early research suggests that Coenzyme Q10 200 mg a day may help.
9. If you develop heart problems, see "Treating Heart Disease Naturally."

svn co Error: Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted
When attempting to sync a repo to a server or to your desktop you will receive an error if the certificate being used to protect the HTTPS repository URL is not issued by the proper authority. Many companies generate their own certificates for repository URL's especially if the repository is primary used internally. In this example I was attempting to sync a repository using SVN to a folder on the desktop of my Macbook Pro running OSX Mountain Lion. Below I describe the error in more detail followed by resolution to the svn certificate error.

What is GIS?
A Geographic Information System, or GIS is a compilation of hardware, software, data and skilled personnel that is designed to capture, store, manage, analyze and display spatial data. The key is the idea of Spatial data. The concept behind GIS is that most things can be tied to a physical location on the earth, including, vegetation types, flood zones, your water bill, car registration, even your credit card records can all be tied to a geographic location. If decision makers can easily see the locations of critical features, events, or assets and understand how they influence processes, work flows, financials, etc. then better decisions can be made and money can be saved.
Most commonly, data is stored in tabular form as "attributes" to a feature or location. These locations and associated attribute information can then be analyzed and mapped to show patterns across the land. It is this analysis process that generates so much of the strength, rigidity and power that a GIS provides.
Lone Tree & GIS
The City of Lone Tree has invested in GIS to assist staff in daily workflow, to help communicate with the public and to provide the best analysis capabilities for business processes, workflows and critical decision making.
The City currently uses GIS for planning, transportation management, asset tracking, data and development review, submissions, and more. As the City continues to grow, it is expected that GIS will play a vital role in community design, emergency management planning, how and where development occurs, how information is shared with residents and much more.
The data and information provided here is done so with the best intent to provide accurate, timely and complete data; however, occasional circumstances may delay the posting of new, updated data.

Working in physics: Riding the red dragon
Western universities have long welcomed visiting students and academics from the Far East. Now China's ascendance offers career opportunities for researchers like Ian Broadwell who want to make the reverse journey.
Imagine a climate like that of the Canary Islands, a lab overlooking a golden beach, and a dramatic mountain coastline dotted with pagodas and forests of new skyscrapers. It sounds incredible, but in December 2008 I swapped the grey, winter skyline of the UK for just that. In the space of a few short days, I found myself leaving Nottingham for a job as a postdoc more than 5000 miles away at Xiamen University in Fujian province, China.
The cause of my rapid transition to Xiamen, which is located just across the straits from Taiwan, was a two-year Science and Technology China Fellowship that I was awarded by the European Union (EU) in October 2008, coupled with a two-month fellowship funded by the UK Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (see box). These are relatively new programmes – they were founded in 2004 and 2008, respectively – and their common aim is to promote links between EU- or UK-based researchers and Chinese institutions. Xiamen specializes in the study of surface science, and I am now doing research on enhancing the power output of biofuel cells using nanomaterials.
As in other countries, postdoc positions in China normally last for two years. This is generally long enough to get a good feel for a place, but since China is such a dynamic and fast-moving environment, the desire to explore its fascinating history and diverse culture may mean you will want to stay longer. One appealing feature of such a fellowship is the opportunity to learn a new language while simultaneously conducting your research and adding to your publication record. Other benefits of collaborating with researchers in China lie in the alternative (and, to me, welcome) perspective that their academic training can bring to a project. I have found that working at Xiamen allows me additional career privileges and freedoms that I would have struggled to gain in an "ordinary" postdoc. For instance, my Chinese colleagues are keen for me to design and deliver my own lecture courses, are quick to assign Masters-degree project students to help me, and are willing to give me a lot of freedom to design my own experiments. My work is highly multidisciplinary, and, as a foreigner, I am given the flexibility I need to work between groups, as well as privileged access to facilities (such as electron microscopes and facilities for fabricating micro-electrical-mechanical systems) to complete the project. And of course, international fellowships are a great incentive for scientists like me who really enjoy the opportunity to travel.
Travelling the world
My interest in China began when I visited friends in Shanghai in 2003, but my desire to travel overseas is even more deep-rooted. After I graduated from Hull University in 1998 with a degree in physics, I spent almost a year studying Russian and physics at the Urals State University in central Russia before returning to Hull to do a PhD in physical chemistry. But then, after I finished my PhD, I was disappointed to find that employers in industries such as medical physics and pharmaceutical science often saw my broad educational background as evidence that I was either overqualified or lacked staying power.
Faced with this reality, I decided to switch fields by doing a Masters degree in exploration geophysics at the University of Leeds with support from Shell. This professional qualification led to a job as an offshore geophysicist with Veritas DGC (now known as CGG Veritas), a firm that provides seismic data to the oil and gas industries, and I spent part of 2005 prospecting for oil off the north-western coast of Australia. But after about six months, I realized that such jobs do not require a PhD, and I moved back to Hull.
The first significant step towards my goal of working in China came in 2006, when three Chinese academics visited Hull University from Xiamen after an invitation to collaborate. At that time, no-one had yet made the reverse journey from Hull to Xiamen, so in 2007 (following discussions with those visiting academics) I decided to remedy the situation by going to Xiamen twice: first on an exploratory visit, then to discuss a framework for research collaboration.
My work at Xiamen is on a project aimed at generating electricity directly from blood glucose and oxygen, and using it to power implanted microelectronic devices. With current technologies, batteries in applications such as pacemakers need to be changed at regular intervals, which involves surgery, so a "perpetual battery" would be a significant medical breakthrough. I have found that Xiamen provides all the right technical ingredients for developing the physics and engineering of this technology, rather than just improving the chemistry, which others have already done.
Practical considerations
A typical salary for a researcher in China working for a Chinese institution is around 2500 renminbi per month, or about £250. However, this can be considerably higher — about £1500 per month, tax free — if you obtain a fellowship. In addition to the programme with which I am involved, new changes to the EU's Marie Curie Fellowships, which enable early-career researchers to work abroad (Physics World December 2004 pp50— 51), mean that EU citizens will soon be able to apply for Chinese funding under a recently negotiated joint EU— China reciprocal agreement. I was told during a meeting with several commissioners in Brussels that the funding levels for this new programme will be equivalent to salary levels in the EU.
Pay is also higher for researchers working at those Western universities that have an established "satellite" campus in mainland China. Examples of such partnerships include the University of Nottingham, which established its Ningbo campus near Shanghai in 2004, and the University of Liverpool, which partnered with the existing Xi'an Jiaotong University in Suzhou to form a new joint institution in 2006. Note, however, that as the Nottingham Ningbo campus is an independent university (unlike Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool), it does not receive central-government funding, which means that it is currently a teaching-only institution with little research activity. On the other hand, the private status of the Ningbo campus does allow academics to freely develop their own curriculum outside of the government model. Researchers who are thinking about spending time in China must carefully consider how much research and teaching they will be required to do at their host institution, compared with a similar appointment in the West.
I initially had some concerns about what I could realistically expect to achieve during a two-year fellowship, due to my lack of familiarity with some Chinese-made equipment and with how the Chinese university system operates (for instance, how money for consumables is administered or where you procure research materials). However, as a state-designated "key laboratory" in surface chemistry, Xiamen University receives regular annual funding from both of China's main funding bodies (see box) and hence has a modern infrastructure and among the most up-to-date facilities in China for doing surface science.
Within these new labs there is state-of-the-art equipment — often procured from Japan and western countries — that allow research of an international standard to take place. This, along with the many friendly and supportive colleagues I have met, has made me feel much more confident that the original project aims can be met.
Goals and guanxi
From talking with the 30 other EU Science and Technology China fellows in my 2008 "class", it is clear to me that working in a Chinese university gives you a lot of flexibility in developing your career. This is partly due to the open and multidisciplinary approach to research that flourishes in many institutions here. The keen demand for academic English also opens doors — although sometimes it can be hard to refuse requests to check colleagues' academic papers. Consequently, one learns a lot about time management and guanxi, which means "personal relationships". If you dare venture here, be prepared for a fully hands-on and action-packed two years!
If staying in academia after a foreign assignment is not for you, it is still likely that a stint overseas will open other doors. True, Western companies generally will not employ foreign, highly skilled labour to work in China when they can employ locals at a fraction of the cost, but there are exceptions to this if you bring significant skills and experience to the job. Postdoctoral researchers who have worked in China and can speak the language well will, I suspect, be highly sought after by Chinese and foreign firms. In addition, according to statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, there are 1160 foreign-owned R&D centres in China, where large Western companies such as Siemens, Pfizer, Merck and many others are already using China's cheap, graduate labour market.
So, if you are a physicist with the drive for new experiences, the determination to succeed and willingness to try, then I believe that working in China can be a life-changing experience. As a minimum, you will become a more independent scientist with a more international perspective of your work. At best, it will make you fluent in Mandarin, and open up opportunities to carve out a good career in Chinese academia or back in the West.
The dragon's den: Chinese research funding
Navigating an unfamiliar university system can be a challenge to any researcher working outside their home country. For researchers in China, however, the problem is compounded by the country's sheer size. China now has more than 1700 higher- education institutions, but funding is concentrated in the top 100 universities, known as "211 Project" schools (the "21" refers to the 21st century, while the "1" refers to the 100 schools). These institutions train four-fifths of China's PhD students, two-thirds of graduate students and a third of all undergraduates. There is also a supplementary programme, launched in May 1998 by then-President Jiang Zemin, which focuses on the top 30 universities. This "985 Project" (named for the year and month it began) provides funds for academic exchange programmes, such as allowing Chinese academics to participate in overseas conferences and bringing foreign lecturers to China.
In terms of research, China's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) operates three different types of state-funded laboratories: National Laboratories, State Engineering Research Centres (SERCs), and State Key Laboratories (SKLs) like the one for surface science at Xiamen University (my institute). The six national laboratories focus on multidisciplinary research, while the others are more discipline specific, with the SERCs focusing more on applied topics and the SKLs on basic research. The 200 or so SKLs are designed as platforms for carrying out research at an internationally competitive level, and they are also attracting outstanding scientists who are returning to China after spending time abroad (Physics World August 2008 pp14—15).
Although China is a developing country with many financial commitments, the investment in research infrastructure has been significant over the past 10 years, and the country plans to pump 2.5% of its GDP into R&D by the year 2020. This figure currently stands at about 1.5% GDP. If we keep in mind that China has set a goal to treble its total GDP between 2005 and 2020, this would mean roughly €10bn of extra funding each year. Although the current economic crisis may force the authorities to revise their predictions downwards, this is likely to remain unchanged certainly until 2010, which marks the end of the current 11th five-year plan.

If the latest rumors turn out to be correct we could be looking at social photo and video integration in iOS 7 by way of Flickr and Vimeo support, most likely added to the existing social sharing options of Twitter and Facebook. The story comes by way of 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman:
"Both Flickr and Vimeo will now also be integrated deeply into the new operating system, so users will be able to sign into the respective networks via iOS 7′s built-in Settings application. Like with iOS's Facebook and Twitter ties, Apple customers will be able to log-in one time into each social network and have full sharing access."
Presumably that would also mean that, as with Twitter and Facebook, other third-party apps would be able to hook into Flickr and Vimeo by way of an instant log in. It's important to remember also, as Gurman points out, that any feature currently in testing could still be removed prior to the release of iOS 7. Interesting stuff, for sure. Do either of these two social options get you excited?

That is St. Anselm in St. Louis. The church inside is stark, but in the round. It's run by the Benedictines. Mass there is reverent and correct. They also host an EF Oratory.
I'm not a big fan of this architecture...but at least it looks like a church, and a Catholic one at that. Whereas many of the modern churches I've seen look rather like banquet halls...

I agree that church is way more than the building it meets in. And I don't think that's actually the worst one around here. What's funny is that this town has some of the most mind-blowingly beautiful Catholic churches to be found anywhere in the world. But the major problem with that design(and once again, aesthetics are all I'm interested in here) is that it dates itself. Churches ought to strive for the eternal.

How is it modernist?
Is the rule of thumb, "if it's not Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, or a permutation of any of those styles, it's modern?
It is an UTTERLY BRILLIANT CHURCH inside an out. I'm not saying you have to like it. But it is entirely TRADITIONAL in many ways. It could be said it follows the lines of a Traditional Cistercian Romanesque design with the simple and stark Romanesque (parabolic) arches. It has a functioning bell-tower with real bells. It has EXCELLENT acoustics, particularly for Gregorian Chant in Latin which the monks do pray, along with other offices in English but always chanted recto tono..and rather well too (6 second reverb, I believe). The high ceiling with a clerestory window over the High Altar (9 ton granite altar, one solid piece) with the traditional 3 steps. There are side altars in each of the translucent windows.
It has a retro choir for the monastic community, so it is arguably not a true "church in the round" at all, though the Church is round. It has a full ambulatory, and a very fine full tracker organ made in Austria which is sought after by fine organists.
The Abbey Church which is used by St. Anselm at the Abbey Parish (Archdiocese of St. Louis), has immense room for all the monastic rites and rituals, as well as the Traditional Latin Mass as well as the Novus Ordo (though the TLM is currently in a chapel elsewhere on campus due to a crowded Mass schedule).
SO the only people who call it "Modernist" are people who prattle endless, mind-numbing baseless statements exposing a very limited understanding and knowledge of "traditional" and a narrow definition of what is considered "modernist" and which must always be necessarily "bad".
(And for the record, I attend exclusively, the Traditional Latin Mass, so I'm no friend of the liberal movement or the Bugnini Table Service of 1970.
- May 31, 2012 at 8:48 PM
This church fits in with the other churches in the area in terms of their architectural style - most of them have that "built-in-the-1960s" look to them. I can think of only the nearby Greek Orthodox church and the LDS temple that have a more timeless design.
Can't really make snarky comments on this one - my church meets in essentially an office building.
- May 31, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Whether or not the HOK (one of the largest architectural firms in the world) erred on this groundbreaking project I find to be an irrelevant question. What matter more is what goes on inside that church and who its "children" are. The children of Saint Louis abbey are some of the foremost traditional Catholics in the country. At the University level, they have brought a restoration of the liturgy to numerous campuses across the country.
The monks of Saint Louis Abbey maintain the traditions of Gregorian Chant and have a large following of youth each year for tenebrae.
Further, they have some of the most beautiful vestments which are being made these days. They have been featured on the New Liturgical Movement and elsewhere.
Further, I've been present at funeral classes in the Extraordinary Form in that church, and though the architecture isn't your average 19th century form, the liturgy can be very reverent.
Be careful who you criticize because in this case, you've hit the abbey that is at the heart of the restoration of the sacred in this country.
- June 1, 2012 at 2:10 AM
Reminds me of a parish church in my neck of the woods. I'm glad that what goes on inside is traditional, but the outside effect is not good.

You don't have to like it, like I iterated, but the outside effect is quite TRADITIONAL and EXCELLENT.
People on here are picture book people. Learn a little about Church History, and what MAKES good architecture, then maybe you'll understand this is an excellent example of traditional architecture using modern methods, and a fine example of a Traditional Church in a contemporary milieu.

Glad to hear it's nice inside. On the outside, it looks like a ruffled petticote or a ballerina's tutu! Or possibly an Elizabethan ruff. Wowl

The community of worship may be wonderful, mass may be uplifting, but my first impression is : "look! The aliens have landed."
Although the tutu is also a good thought.

One may not like the exterior view. Frankly I don't. But this is a successful liturgical building, far more so than many more conventional structures. Look at that exterior and imagine the interior it clothes. There's no question but that the inside space and its use was the first consideration - as it should be. The few pictures I've been able to find of the interior aeem to confirm what I expected to see, and, from the parish website, it seems to be a building consciously built for and used in much better than ordinary liturgy.

Is it a crashed UFO? Is it a circus tent?

I don't like it, and I'm hardly a picture book critic of the building. I've been in St. Louis Abbey church more times than I care to recall; prayed in it; sung in it and played the organ many times. I still don't like the place.
Despite the endless McDonald's arches, the church is, unfortunately, a dated example of the Brutalist period. The exterior is bizarre looking and the interior is blinding white and flat with colorless, opaque glass or translucent, poly panels . The interior lacks any bit of color or warmth unless bunting is hung up somewhere.
The acoustical reverberation overwhelms out of proportion when the building is empty of people, but yet somehow and oddly there is not enough reverberation when the building is full.
The building design or construction actually owes nothing to the Romanesque, even in interpretation. In construction the building owes a great deal to an interpretation of the Eskimo igloo. The arches were made of sprayed, liquid cement and concrete shot onto panels and steel rebar.
I could go on, but mercifully will not. The building never grew on me despite many visits. I just think of the thing as an odd one-off.
- June 7, 2012 at 5:01 AM
Point: Parabolic arches are not romanesque, Eutruscan maybe, but the Romans perfected the half round arch and used it extensively.
- June 7, 2012 at 5:13 AM
Yes, indeed there is much regarding this Benedictine community to commend. But the cold sterility of the interior of the Abbey Church is not one of them.
- June 7, 2012 at 10:23 PM
The Christian architectural tradition is to be contemporary, to be of their time, even if built in revival styles in periods of such architecture. There is no one "Christian style" against which one can be measured, only does it serve the liturgy and does it give expression to both the timeless faith and the current mileau.
Recall the 12th century?
How quickly the traditional Romanesque was abandoned for the modernist, contemporary Gothic with all its pointy arches. By the 18th century that was old hat and classic revival, columns, pediments and domes, became the rage. Someday this church will be considered traditional and old fashioned, as styles move on.
- June 8, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Eye of the beholder etc. I suppose. I personally find the interior cold and I have great difficulty connecting with God's presence there. Rather than using their talents to help worshipers connect with God I feel like most (but not all) contemoprary ecclesiastical architects and artists want to club us over the head.
- June 8, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Inspired by barnacles!

To me it looks like a split-level igloo with multiple entrance portals. (I'm guessing the top level is for Ptarmagans.) The ice sculpture spire lifts it far above the common igloo. A consecrated igloo here. Catholic Eskimos probably want it moved to Anchorage.

I'm from Sydney... and this is ghastly and ostentacious! I respect comments from those familiar with the community of faith that tradition is followed. To this end, I'm reminded of the the old saying: "not to judge a book by its cover" BUT the truth of this holy matter is that the outside should reflect the inside and vice versa.

My first thought was: Someone took some dozen of zeppelin-hangars (think WWI) and tacked them together.
However, there are way worse buildings out there. If the interior is filled with reverence and holiness, I'm ready to ignore exterior faults.

Ok, maybe it's more traditional inside, but does the outside have to look like the old Panther Hall theater in Fort Worth, TX?
(which had been torn down BTW)

I've seen this church before and it is Saint Anselm's Abbey Church for the Benedictine community in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. What I wish I could see is the interior and how it looks from inside to the outside. It definitely has a more modern flair to it; one could propose that it picks up the tent theme from the Old Testament calling to mind the ever wandering Jews in the desert or it could also be seen as picking up the ship theme of the Church which was quite popular in 15th century art. I note that one of the comments about the place from the natives is that the area has a lot of churches which look similar and in particular is near one of the orthodox churches. In this instance, it would fit in with that church because the multiple domes are a counterpart to the domes of a decent orthodox church. While I care for a more neo-gothic structure myself, I am intrigued by this one and would like to see the interior as I mentioned above.

It's good to hear that the liturgies are respectable.
That said, and all personal preferences aside, the Catholic ethos, if you will, is best represented by the cruciform floor plan: nave, transept, sanctuary, apse.
1. The Mass starts at the foot of the cross and journeys (processes) to the head who is Christ. The idea of procession conveys something of the movement of worship in and through Christ to the Father and hints at the circumincession of the Divine Persons.
2. Catholic churches are like ships, hence the term "nave", (Medieval Latin navis, "ship"). We "board" the ship and sail toward the rising sun, Christ. Hence, ad orientem worship is the appropriate Catholic (Latin Rite) mode and not worship in the round.
3. Vaults or arches convey a sense of transcendence or movement to the heavens.
One could go on, but suffice to say one of the reasons Catholics suffer an identity crisis is because they have forgotten or tossed out the art (i.e., the language of art, architecture, music) which defines who we are. Catholic art is theology. It's not much of a stretch to see why art and architecture has suffered when one takes note of the weak theology in play for the past 40 years.

Having grown up Catholic in Northern Virginia, I am a connoisseur of late 20th century Catholic architecture. Theory: When the CofE seized all of the RCC's churches in 1600, it appropriated good architectural taste. That left the RCs grasping for their "own" architecture. This is why every RC church in the anglosaxon world is so ugly--because they didn't want them to be mistaken for an Episcopal church. The Episcopals have taken this ball and run with it. Compare the National Cathedral to the National Shrine of the I.C. in DC. They took our architecture and left us with Modern Mosque.

Three months is a long time in the history of politics in Meghalaya. In a matter of ninety days a person can go from being an MLA to a presidential candidate and finally an ordinary citizen of the country like any of us. In three lunar cycles a founder member of a party can become a person independent and without any party affiliation to the founder of another party. In Meghalaya politics a lot can happen in a short span of time as history is made and unmade but the test of time is whether the event created in that history is going to last and create more histories or otherwise. If the change in the history is going to have a positive impact on the society then perhaps the history in the making will last; if not then the incident will become history the moment it happened.
August 24 is an important date in the history of Meghalaya, because it was the day when a major political party in the state folded its flag and merged en bloc with the new National People's Party. The incident also saw the former NCP president W Kharlukhi taking over as the President of the Meghalaya unit of the NPP with the 12 former NCP legislators joining the new party with him. It was indeed a historical moment for the state and its people because a new party is born.
Purno A Sangma NPP national president said on the occasion that his new party will build a new India. According to Sangma', there are altogether 46 seats reserved for tribals in the Parliament and eleven more seats from which tribal candidates always win despite those being general seats. According to Purno's calculation, if fifty seven tribals come together then the community can have a say in national politics. He also reiterated that the party is going to be a 'tribal centric' party but open to all communities. Nobody can dispute the seasoned politician and an optimistic Sangma's calculation, but the question is – Is Sangma the messiah that the tribal communities in the country have waited for so long? Will his new NPP be able to unite all the 57 tribal MPs in the country? What Sangma does not realize is that if his calculation works the margin of his defeat in the recent presidential elections would not have been so huge. At the moment, 57 is but a number that he hopes his new party will garner but the fact of the matter is that the 57 seats have already been taken by other parties. It is not going to be easy for a new party like NPP to capture those 57 seats. Tribals in the country already belong to different political parties. Take for instance the two seats in Meghalaya, NPP can definitely win one seat; the other seat has always gone with the Congress. To begin with, NPP already started with a small target and as the saying goes, one can only reach as much as one aims to achieve and not beyond. Yes, 57 is a big number in the coalition politics and the 2014 general election is obviously going to give the country a fragmented mandate and the number 57, (small as it may be) can certainly make and unmake kings and queens. But the question that begs an answer is whether the NPP even get half of the 57 it is targeting for the 2014 general elections? 57 is s jinxed number in the Khasi Pnar society. We have a song titled 'la shet u 57' (cheated by 57 sung by a bard to mourn his loss of money by buying the archery ticket with No 57). Hope it is not going to be the same with NPP.
Sangma has also boasted that his political career is being guided by strong principles that he holds dear to himself. These principles, he says, has seen him through many ups and downs and through the thick and thin of his political career. But what people fail to understand is what principles Purno is talking about when he allows both the MPs even his own daughter to remain with the NCP? Isn't true that there is something wrong here? Isn't it true that Agatha even allowed PA Sangma to use her official residence to run his show in his presidential campaign? I mean are they not complicit in this? One would expect that a principled politician like Sangma would also do well to inculcate and instill good principles in his children. But what the elder Sangma did not say is that he is also a shrewd politician and why he did not advice the two MPs to join the new party. Well, because they will then cease to be MPs under the anti defection law and there are two more years to go until the current parliament term ends. Sangma is wise enough not to risk young Agatha's fate by asking her to join his new party. It is all about power isn't it Mr. Sangma?
The merger of NCP state unit with NPP was made at the wrong time. It seems like it all happened too fast even for a seasoned politician like Sangma to have time to think of the consequences that the merger can have. The ill-timed and ill-planed incident has cast a pall of gloom for candidates planning to contest from NCP tickets in the forthcoming elections.. Till then they were canvassing on an NCP ticket and the clock was still their symbol; then all of a sudden they are not NCP candidates anymore. The incident has particularly upset the candidature of prospective candidates in the different constituencies, I know quite a few candidates in Jaintia hills who had earlier planned to contest on an NCP ticket but after the merger they are now in a dilemma. They cannot decide whether to stick with the NCP which is now a leaderless party or join the band wagon and contest on an NPP ticket.
The sour grapes resentment in the NCP camp has made the current leadership go all out to get their old comrades the 12 MLAs disqualified from being members of the legislative assembly under anti defection law, but everybody knows that this is not going to happen. The question is how can a thief catch a thief? The Congress led MUA will not even think of disqualifying the 12 MLAs because if they do so, they will also have to disqualify one of their own. AL Hek was elected from Pynthor Umkhrah on a BJP ticket but had defected to join the Congress without resigning his membership in the house. As for now the 12 new NPP MLAs are safe but what is going to happen to the NCP? Without the Sangmas the NCP will gradually disappear from the political scene of the state and not supporting Purno's presidential aspiration is one move that the Maharashtra strongman Sharad Pawar will regret. The Sangmas still have the charisma to take their followers wherever they move; their people also faithfully follow them.
This is the second time in the recent past that PA Sangma has started a new party and it remains to be seen if Sangma's new venture is going to be another clever political move. This time it is very crucial because unlike the political risks he took earlier, this time he is also taking his politically groomed children with him. Everybody hopes that the move Sangma has made is not for his sake but for the political prospects of his children not that I believe in dynastic politics but the junior Sangmas have a lot to contribute to the state.

Perhaps its a task where each player has to perform a different thing. So, Brook could have done the jousting, then Claire the catapult. Just a thought, but it does make sense that it could be something like that, as they dont usually have a Roadblock in the first leg.
No offense, but since TAR 14, there has been no detours

Re: Favorite Episode of Season 5#11
I'm with the majority here in choosing Long term Parking. Ade's death scene is probably my favorite in the series. Everything about the way it was filmed and everything in the episode leading up to it was just perfect in my opinion. I almost feel for her when watching it when she first realizes what's going on. It's actually almost scary to watch. As much as you know it's coming at some point, the way it was done was just great.

Monarchs Drop 60-58 Heartbreaker to Butler in NCAA Opener
By ODU Athletics
March 17, 2011
Box Score | AP Photo Gallery Photo Gallery 2
Matt Howard's tip-in as time ran out lifted eighth seeded Butler to a 60-58 victory over ninth seeded Old Dominion at the Verizon Center.Butler (24-9) advances to the NCAA Championship Third Round.
The Bulldogs have won ten straight and ended ODU's (27-7) nine win game streak. ODU was led by senior center Frank Hassell who had 20 points and five rebounds.
The game featured 10 ties and 22 lead changes, the last lead change coming on Matt Howard's game-winning layup at the buzzer.
Old Dominion entered the game leading the NCAA in rebound margin at +12.2. Butler held a 32-29 rebounding advantage, marking just the second time this season that Old Dominion was outrebounded (ODU vs. Drexel, 37-47). The 29 rebounds were Old Dominion's fewest of the season.
Old Dominion led, 29-27, at halftime, marking the sixth time this season Butler trailed at halftime (2-4).
Old Dominion's 16 field goals matched its second-fewest in a game this season. The Monarchs' 21 made free throws were their third-most of the season.
Butler shot its first free throw of the game with 11:28 remaining in the second half. Garrett Butcher made two foul shots to put the Bulldogs ahead 45-42.
After Matt Howard put Butler up six, 58-52 with with two free throws with 2:43 remaining, ODU rallied with six straight points. Frank Hassell made it 58-54 with a layup, then Hassell again scored with 1:38 left to cut the lead to 58-56.
Kent Bazemore then picked off a pass and was fouled with 32 seconds left. Bazemore hit both free throws to tie the game at 58-58.
Howard was on the left side of the basket after Shawn Vanzant missed from the right side. Howard went up with his right hand and put the ball in an instant before time expired.
Old Dominion came in with the best rebounding margin in the country, and Butler's effort to overcome that obstacle - and keep Hassell under control in the paint - became even tougher after the 6-foot-8 Howard picked up his third foul with 16:36 left. His teammate Andrew Smith, a 6-11 center, was called for his fourth foul 40 seconds later.
Howard remained in the game and Smith was replaced by Garrett Butcher, who scored six straight points in an 8-1 run that put Butler ahead 49-43.
Old Dominion answered with a 6-0 spurt that began with a 3-pointer by Darius James with 10:09 to go. The Monarchs' next field goal came more than 7 1/2 minutes later, but the basket by Hassell sparked a six-point run that tied it with 31.2 seconds remaining.
Howard's finisher came on Butler's 32nd rebound. Old Dominion finished with 29, only the second time this season the Monarchs were outrebounded.
The game started with a frantic pace, as both teams ran up and down the floor until the initial foul finally stopped play at the 15:50 mark.
The lead also went back and forth until ODU reserve guard Trian Iliadis drilled a 3-pointer and Keyon Carter made a soft jumper to make it 18-13. Over the next eight minutes, however, the Monarchs went 1 for 6 with seven turnovers and fell behind 22-21. Hassell made Old Dominion's final three field goals in a first half that featured 13 lead changes and ended with the Monarchs clinging to a 29-27 lead.
ODU's seniors finished their careers with 97 victories, two NCAA post season appearances, two CAA titles, a CIT title and a victory in last year's NCAA tournament.
Ben Finney completed his career as ODU's all-time leader in games played with 139, followed by teammates Frank Hassell and Darius James with 138.

Sega takes a trip down Aliens Vs Predator memory lane, unearthing this little gem from Capcom that probably should have stayed earthed. It's time to hunt!
Sega's blog post starts with the first Alien film and keeps going, covering the Atari 2600 game, the Atari Jaguar port of AvP, and this Final Fight clone from Capcom, in which the Predators arrive on Earth just in time to help giant cyborg and cute scrappy girl cleanse the planet of its infestation.
If Capcom tried to release this game today, the pure ire from the assembled Aliens Vs Predator fans of the internet would spontaneously combust the entire company. Those were indeed the good old days.
