University of Illinois professor to headline UHWO Chancellor's Lecture Series with presentation on Okinawan identity and independenceUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UHWO Department of Sociology
PEARL CITY, OʻAHU- UH West Oʻahu Chancellor Gene Awakuni has reinstituted the UHWO Chancellor's Lecture Series, following a five-year hiatus. The first speaker in the lecture series will be Dr. Koji Taira who will speak on the topic of "Okinawan Identity and Independence" on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 from 12:30-1:45 p.m. in Room E-103. An informal reception will follow, co-sponsored by the UHWO Chancellor's Office, the Sociology Club and the Anthropology Club.
Taira is Emeritus Professor of Labor Economics and Industrial Relations at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and for the past two decades has been the Editor and Publisher of The Ryukyuanist, a newsletter which has connected and informed scholars and researchers of developments in the field of Okinawa Studies. He has written extensively on the quest of Okinawans for self-determination, and will discuss the range of meanings and forms that Okinawan independence might take, including the "one-Japan, two systems of governance" proposal that has surfaced in recent years. Taira will also be part of an informal "Talk Story Discussion on Okinawan Identity" hosted by the Center for Japanese Studies at UH Mānoa on Wednesday, September 5, from 3-4:30 p.m. in Moore 319 (Tokioka Room). Both appearances are made possible through a grant from the UH Diversity Fund.
The UHWO Chancellor's Lecture Series was first instituted by Dr. William Pearman in 1999. It was designed to bring nationally and internationally recognized authorities to the campus to complement the classroom learning environment at UHWO with provocative intellectual discussions on various topics of contemporary interest. Previous speakers have included family historian Stephanie Coontz of Evergreen State College, author of The Way We Never Were and The Way We Really Are; Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker, Steven Okazaki; Professor Eric Margolis of Arizona State University on "Manufacturing Assimilation: Photographs of Indian Schools in Arizona," among many others.
For more information on Dr. Taira's talks, please contact Dr. Joyce Chinen, UHWO Professor of Sociology, at (808) 454-4720 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robert Kiyosaki – We need two school systems
Education in America could use a big dose of innovation. How about one public school system for employees, and another for entrepreneurs? Leave your comments at the end!
In the summer of 1932, presidential candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised, "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people."
Today, it is time not for a "New Deal," but a "New Mission."
America's schools need to take a page from the businesses that have been created by entrepreneurs over the past decades. Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin and Larry Page have all given us the road map, but the path toward entrepreneurship is often the road less traveled America's schools.
The U.S. unemployment rate is currently 9.7% in what many call a "jobless recovery." So what should we do? The problem and the solution can be found in America's educational system and its current mantra: "Go to school and get good grades, so you can get a good high-paying job." In simpler terms that means, "Go to school to become a good employee." But there are too many employees, which is why we have an unemployment problem. Today, kids just out of school aren't finding jobs. At the same time, many of their parents are going back to school for retraining. But they're not finding jobs, either.
The idea of a high-paying job for life is truly an American dream � but no longer a reality. With low-priced labor and lower-priced, higher-performance technology, high-paying American jobs will be disappearing at greater speed as they move overseas.
Two-track system
America's education system needs an injection of innovation � which is just what entrepreneurs do. We need two different public school programs: one for employees and one for entrepreneurs.
The way to train entrepreneurs is almost exactly the opposite of the methods used to train employees. Another common thread about Ford, Gates and Jobs is that they all dropped out of school. This is not to say education is not important, but training entrepreneurs is different from training people to be employees. It is much like the difference between traditional education and the military academy model.
Many of the lessons I drew upon to write my book, Rich Dad, come from the U.S. military academy system.
In 1965, I left a sleepy sugar plantation town of Hilo, Hawaii, and journeyed to Kings Point, N.Y., to attend the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. With four years at the academy and six years as a Marine Corps pilot, including two trips to Vietnam, I gained many of the real-life skills and character traits I count on today as an entrepreneur.
Success in the military is a great bellwether signaling achievement in business. For example, the Israeli Defense Forces are a breeding ground for education and entrepreneurs, where many serve in units specializing in military technology. At the beginning of 2009, the 63 Israeli companies listed on the Nasdaq, many led by former IDF members, outnumbered those of any other foreign country, according to the book Start-up Nation by Dan Senor and Saul Singer. There are simple lessons here for America's gridlocked education system.
If I were running America's schools system, I would create the U.S. Business Academy for Entrepreneurs, modeled after our federal military academies. Admissions would be via congressional appointment along with nominations from community business leaders. The entrance exams would be rigorous; the curriculum would be very different from traditional colleges.
On first day at any of the five federal military academies, each student is required to memorize the academy's mission. In the military, mission is more important than life. After leaving the Marine Corps and starting my own business, I found many executives with MBA degrees focused only on money. Money was their only mission. If they could cut expenses by firing employees, so be it. This was unconscionable at the academy and the Marine Corps. As military officers, our mission was to serve our country and bring our troops home alive. It was drummed into our souls that our mission was more important than our lives.
The mission of the U.S. Academy for Entrepreneurs would be to create sustainable, well-paying jobs for employees by aggressive growth of the business. Too many executives are trained to grow the business through mergers and acquisitions, using massive amounts of debt. Though this might make shareholders happy, in most cases it rips the soul out of the business, loading it with debt while putting the jobs of employees at risk.
Creating real jobs
If corporate executives cannot grow a business organically, they will often repurchase their shares to make it look as if the share price is going up � again to keep shareholders happy and the CEO employed. This is business manipulation, and not the true mission of a sustainable business. The lesson learned is, a loyal employee is not as important as money.
The U.S. Business Academy for Entrepreneurs would have only real entrepreneurs as teachers. I would ask that they work for only $1 a year (think of the great entrepreneurial CEOs who have turned around their businesses doing the same). You see, if they were real entrepreneurs, they would not need the money. They would teach for the same reason the students are there: the mission to create entrepreneurs who create sustainable jobs for the country.
Whether you agree with me or not, I hope it's clear that we need to create more entrepreneurs � since only entrepreneurs can create real jobs.
We need to pledge ourselves to this New Mission: job creation by those who are true job creators.

Wilier Blade Triathlon Bike
Own this?
Be the first to rate it!
(Tap a star to rate)
When we first set our eyes on Wilier's Blade time trial frame, we thought it was a Twinfoil with a mismatched fork. Perhaps an earlier generation version, perhaps a test mule. We were wrong. The Blade is its own bike. What you're seeing is a frame that came out of the same mold as the Twinfoil and a more conventional fork. The reason for this is economics and flexibility. The frame has identical shapes and geometry, with a tall downtube, a long seat post, wide stays, internal routing, and a TRP integrated brake mounted on the underside of the frame. The difference is in the use of less-expensive 46-ton carbon-fiber cloth. The result is be a bike that flexes a bit more, which, if you're the kind of person who finds stiff bikes a literal pain in the back, the flexing becomes compliance, and results in a more comfortable ride. The fork is a more conventional-looking carbon-fiber job with aluminum dropouts. The legs have a narrower stance, making it less aero, but the depth of the legs will minimize the increased drag. The biggest benefit of the conventional fork is the flexibility it allows you for putting in a stem of the length and height of your choosing. This means you can have an integrated bar/stem combo or your favorite integrated bar with the stem of your choosing or set the armrests at whatever width you want.Everything we've written regarding fit and component issues for the Twinfoil hold for the Blade as well. The seat stays are set wide for better airflow. The chain stays are thick for drive train efficiency. The stays are joined at the adjustable vertical dropouts that boast 6mm of fore-aft play. Wide wheel fans take note: maximum rim width is 25mm, but a Head Stinger 9 fit in, as the adjustable dropouts allow for some play so that the wheel nestles in the rear triangle perfectly. The integrated seat post has also been built with aerodynamics in mind. Not only is it long and narrow, but it has an internal fixing bolt accessed from the right side and the seat clamp is adjustable for a wide range of position options. The post is 350mm long, and the clamp is adjustable from 10mm in front of the bottom bracket to 20mm behind it, which means that there is an effective seat angle of anywhere from 74- to 78-degrees. This means it can accommodate conservative roadies and radical triathletes alike. Because they want to be accommodating to everyone who races against the clock, the front derailleur has an adjustable orbital mount. It's kind of like a disc that can be moved not only up and down, but on its own axis, so it can work with a wide range of rings and be tweaked for optimal chain line orientation. The bolt that does this is accessed from the left side of the frame so the cranks won't have to be pulled to do this precise adjusting. Being a Wilier, the bottom bracket standard is BB93, and will accept any Campagnolo thru-axle crankset and comes with adapters for use with Shimano and SRAM cranks. There is a single set of bottle mounts on the

This year's annual meeting in Philadelphia was again a huge success because of the tremendous amount of information, knowledge, research and hope made available to patients and caregivers. It was also a family reunion for some of the regular attendees strengthening the bond and giving a "renewal of commitment" between existing patients. It's really fantastic and encouraging event. It is a wonderful feeling to know that some patients in partial remission make the extra effort to attend these meetings thereby giving support to our new friends.
The different venues for the IPPF Annual Patient/Doctor Meeting give us an opportunity to visit different states each year. We really enjoy going to these conferences because it is such an amazing source of face-to-face interaction. We schedule attendance to the meeting as a family pilgrimage. It also brings back the core values and keeps us aligned with the reality of this disease. There is always something new to learn, and it's all made possible by the great and generous people who have been working for us on our rare disease research projects.
As a patient, it connects to existing patients and also gives the opportunity to share successes and disappointments. After six years of trying to stabilize the disease, it gives a sense of confidence to be able to give advice and information to new patients. Knowledge is power and the more we learn about our disease, the more we would be able to handle and control our flares.
As a caregiver, it realigns the commitments necessary to continue to support your loved ones and to share learnings with new caregivers.
We recognize and thank everyone involved.

Jon Green, Sr. Director, Security Architecture and Federal CTO, Aruba Networks/HPE
Flaws can be varied and sad - like forgetting to use crypto (like calling a function that was never completed for your DRBG! Jon showed us an example of validated code that was an empty function who's comment contained TODO). Other issues in large multi-module products that may contain code written in C, Java, Python, PhP, JavaScript, Go, Bash... claiming to get FIPS from OpenSSL. Most of languages aren't going to be using OpenSSL, so they won't be using FIPS validated crypto.
Developers often don't know where the crypto is happening. They may forget to complete certain code segments, relay on 3rd party and open source and rely on multiple frameworks. Or even if they do, they may not want to dive in because of the amount of work required to make things work correctly, particularly from a FIPS perspective..
What about the FIPS code review done by the lab? Almost certainly not, as they are typically looking at the application code - just the low level crypto and RNG functions. Even with the old German scheme for EAL4 deeper code review, still miss issues (like the above TODO code that went through EAL2 and EAL4 review). Testing misses these nuances as well.
Security audits of your code are very fruitful, but very expensive. He's seen success with bug bounty programs, even if the code is closed.
He's also seen problems with FIPS deployments that are leveraging "FIPS inside" where they leverage another module, like OpenSSL, but forgot to turn on FIPS mode and forgot to update the applications so they would not try to use non-FIPS algorithms.
Another problematic approach - the dev follows all the steps to deploy CenOS in FIPS mode by following the RedHat documentation... except that documentation only applies to RedHat and *not* CentOS. Yes, it's the same source code , but validations are not transitive. A RedHat validation only applies to RedHat deployments.
To get this right, identify services that really need to be FIPS validated and focus your efforts there..

2019 Porsche 935 : 2019 Porsche 935 Interior High Resolution Wallpaper
Porsche has actually revealed the new 935 on the event of the historical "Rennsport Reunion" motorsport occasion at Laguna Seca Raceway in California. The 515 kW (700 hp) racer including a body similar to the famous Porsche 935/78 will be produced in a restricted variety of 77 systems. "This incredible car is a birthday present from Porsche Motorsport to fans all over the world," states Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars. "Because the car isn't homologated, engineers and designers didn't need to follow the normal guidelines and hence had flexibility in the advancement."
2019 Porsche 935 Design
The race car's technology for clubsport occasions and personal training on racetracks is based upon the 911 GT2 RS high-performance cars. Like its historical predecessor, the majority of the body has actually been changed or supplemented by carbon-fibre composite parts (CFRP). With its structured prolonged back, the Porsche 935 reaches a length of 4.87 metres. The width of the unique clubsport racer procedures 2.03 metres.

This article first appeared in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
Pressure to reduce defense spending and potential growth in the medium-class launch vehicle market could provide the catalyst that will finally allow the Pentagon to reduce the size of its massive, expensive satellites and, eventually, reduce the high cost of operating in space.
For decades, the cost of launch has driven the Pentagon to build large satellites, as engineers effectively crammed as much capability as possible on each rocket.
"Because of the cost of launch and the capacity that we have with the launch vehicles, it has made the model more economical to make bigger satellites," says Dave Madden, executive director of the Space and Missile Systems Center, which oversees procurement of satellites and boosters for the Air Force. "It is kind of like a death spiral, [but] competition in the medium [class] will enable us to build smaller spacecraft and launch them for much less money and, fundamentally, change that model."
There has long been rhetoric from senior Air Force officials on this subject, but several forces may be converging to make good on such a shift. There is now an abundance of commercially available spacecraft buses suitable for launching on medium-class boosters. And, they appear to be appropriate for handling future USAF missions that call for smaller satellites—including a next-generation weather satellite and infrared missile warning spacecraft as well as a tactical, protected satellite communications design, Madden says.
These commercially available buses mean the Pentagon will not have to carry the cost of nonrecurring engineering for the flight software or bus upgrades. There were unique and high costs for these elements of the current satellite constellations.
Furthermore, a culture that has grown accustomed to the old model of building large, often $1 billion spacecraft, now appears outdated in light of financial pressure. "If we tried to push this through three or four years ago, I think we would have gotten a lot of resistance," Madden says. "The environment we are in right now is affording us the opportunity to look hard at this . . . . Sometimes it is really hard for us if there isn't a reason to change." The new model could also allow for 4-5-year cycle times compared to the at least eight years needed to deliver a payload today.
Finally, Madden says, potential growth in the medium-class launch vehicle market could subject this piece of the equation to the forces of competition. USAF is in negotiations with Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to outline the steps needed to gain certification.
SpaceX is the first would-be competitor to the United Launch Alliance (ULA), a monopoly birthed in 2006 out of Lockheed Martin's and Boeing's businesses to operate the Pentagon's Atlas V and Delta IV rockets.
Ultimately, the company hopes to get its Falcon 9 v1.1 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles certified for use boosting "Class A" Pentagon satellites—national security payloads that are not risk-tolerant. Company officials declined to be interviewed for this article, but they told the Government Accountability Office (GAO) they plan to achieve certification for the Falcon 9 v1.1 late this year. Both new SpaceX vehicles will rely on the yet-to-be-proven Merlin 1D engine; first flight is slated for this year.
Though negotiations are underway, SpaceX must achieve three flights of the v1.1 with a payload fairing, two of which must be flown consecutively, says Christina Ra, a company spokeswoman. The third of these vehicles is now being manufactured.
The Pentagon's strategy calls for depending solely on industry for development. "We are not paying SpaceX to develop," says Scott Correll, the Air Force program executive officer for launch. Though SpaceX has achieved acclaim with its missions delivering cargo to the International Space Station in low Earth orbit, Air Force officials say this is only a first step. "Taking Dragon to 220 miles above Earth is quite different than the missions we conduct," Correll says. "We want to make sure the upper stage can perform," because much of the Air Force's hardware is in geosynchronous or medium-Earth orbits.
SpaceX beat Orbital Sciences, offering its yet-to-be flown Antares, for two Air Force missions in December. The first will require a Falcon 9 v1.1 to fly NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory in November 2014. The second, a more complex mission, calls for the Falcon Heavy to boost a Space Test Program satellite in September 2015. These are non-Class-A missions, meaning the Pentagon can tolerate some risk to mission success.
"The hardest thing for SpaceX is going to be [to fly] a robust commercial manifest [and] do all of this activity with us," Correll says. "I do believe they have the engineering talent . . . the question is what is their bandwidth?"
Correll declined to discuss the status of other possible new entrants, citing privacy concerns. However, Orbital is in talks to certify Antares (slated for a first flight in mid-April) by 2018; Lockheed Martin plans to certify its Athena III (although a target date is not set); and Alliant Techsystems is suggesting it will certify a version of its Liberty vehicle in late 2016, according to the GAO.
Meanwhile, Correll is balancing the program to welcome new entrants into the market against reducing the price of services from his monopoly provider. The Air Force is preparing for negotiations with ULA to buy 36-50 launch cores over the next five years. While ULA is expected to get work for 36 cores, the remaining 14 needed could be competed if entrants are available, or they could be added to ULA's contract.
A request for proposals for those 14 cores outside the ULA work scope is expected next January at the soonest, Correll says. These would be for up to five boosters in 2015 that would launch in 2017. If no contenders to ULA are certified by the time proposals are due, the orders for 2015 will be added to ULA's work order and the Air Force would reassess to see if a competitor is suitable a year later and so on, Correll says. He has a "high confidence" of a competitor being eligible in 2015 for fiscal 2017 launches.
Meanwhile, he is planning to wrap up talks with ULA for the 36-50-core deal by October, when fiscal 2014 begins. To date, the Air Force has bought launch vehicles from ULA singly, the most inefficient way possible. Under the new deal, ULA will buy the long-lead parts, shifting risk to the contractor but also allowing for much greater stability and predictability in production flow. "ULA is taking all of the risk. We are making all of the investment," says CEO Mike Gass. "If we overrun, we will take it out of profit." Gass says the proposal to the government submitted last summer was $7 billion below the anticipated price if the cores were each bought individually. Under significant cost scrutiny, Gass says he improved efficiency by reducing his workforce by 2,000—it is now at 3,700— since the 2006 merger.
Correll applauds ULA's management improvements, but says more can still be done for efficiency.
ULA plans for 12 launches this year and 14 next year, a rate that will support improved efficiency, Gass says.
One unanswered question, however, is whether a combination of government and commercial work will be enough to support multiple launch providers later in the decade when planned Pentagon work could taper off. It is around this time, Madden says, that the Air Force could embark on some demonstrations of disaggregated satellite architectures—such as one to follow on to the Space-Based Infrared System missile-warning mission. Without enough commercial activity to bolster the market, the Pentagon will be in the same position it was in the early 2000s that led to the decision to consolidate Lockheed and Boeing into a single company in search of reduced cost.
"I have to ask whether we are going back to where we were when we had Titan," Correll says, referring to a costly, legacy Martin rocket family. At issue: Will there be enough launches to justify the high cost of multiple infrastructures? For ULA, those costs are now being handled by the government, which is unwilling to take on another bill for separate launch facilities. "Are we just going back to the future?" Correll asks.

I'm excited to share about the latest project I've been working on, Cover for Android. It's a lockscreen replacement that learns what apps you use and where you use them, and uses that information to put the right apps at your disposal immediately when you unlock your phone. Modern smartphone usage revolves around rapidly increasing numbers of apps, so easing that process is what we've focused on with Cover. With our invitation-only beta we support four features around that theme, and you can see them in our launch video, a more in-depth overview by Todd, or these articles from The Verge and TechCrunch.
There's been a lot written about what we're doing with the product, so I won't rehash that – just watch the videos or check out one of the great articles! Instead I'd like to talk briefly about why I find working on Android interesting from a developer's perspective.
Contextual computingWe carry our phones around with us everywhere, and those phones already generate and collect a large amount of data about who we are and what we do. Even though Android and iOS platforms have unfettered access to this data, in many ways the science-fiction future of computers that understand our wants and needs has felt far away. If you'll forgive the snowboarding analogy, getting involved in contextual computing at this time in the industry is like having a mountainful of fresh powder to play in. We've got the potential in the next few years to map out what's possible, and there's no better place to be doing that experimentation than at a startup dedicated to a mobile platform with huge distribution, an extremely flexible developer SDK, and a user community that is hungry for well-designed apps.
Design balance on Android
One of Android's strengths and weaknesses is the sheer amount of choice present for users. It's got huge enough distribution that large communities of users dedicated to heavily customizing their phones can seem like the entire market. Those communities are vocal, enthusiastic, and supportive of developers, and much of the traditional aesthetic of Android development has been driven by these groups almost as much as Google's design guidelines. However, the tradeoffs inherent in too much choice are well-known.
Our challenge is to design an app that simplifies getting to the right apps at the right time in a way that respects the work that long-time Android users have put into customizing their phones already. To that end, Cover is a lockscreen replacement that leaves users's launchers, homescreens and custom ROMs intact. We've definitely got challenges ahead, but what's been so interesting to discover is the ability to use the less-frequently-explored parts of Android's API to try and address them in creative ways.
Android's Deeply Ingrained Flexibility
Android API stability post-GingerbreadIf you're aiming to support a very wide range of Android devices on a fast timeline, Gingerbread is a reasonable SDK version to work with as your baseline for feature support. It's been around a while, and many post-Gingerbread features that weren't backported in one of Google's compatibility libraries have been implemented by third-party Android developers in ways that have become industry standards. In my experience, limiting yourself to Gingerbread or ICS-compatible APIs is a workable place to start. When you do that, it makes your life a bit easier than what the Android reputation for fragmentation would have you believe.
See for yourselfThe only way to get a good feel for the truth about Android is to go try it out! There's really too much to describe in a small blog post. You can't really ask for a nicer IDE to explore Android with than Android Studio (based on IntelliJ IDEA), and its magical intelligence makes working with Java code way easier than I expected. If you start playing with it and get intrigued about the possibilities, let us know! 😉

These Brooklyn transplants put together a mish-mash of early 80s Madonna-tinged arrangements. Listen to "Planet Health" – too happy dance pop – and check the bouncy iTunes Nano commercial anthem "Bruises."
Let's keep this short and sweet: new music, new bands and more fun than getting a sugar rush from a mouthful of Swedish Fish.
Chairlift – "Does You Inspire You" (Kanine/Columbia)
These Brooklyn transplants put together a mish-mash of early '80s Madonna-tinged arrangements. Listen to "Planet Health" – too happy dance pop – and check the bouncy iTunes Nano commercial anthem "Bruises." But the mysteriously psychedelic Grizzly Bear-produced "Dixie Gypsy" just doesn't fit. "Inspire" definitely has a true dream pop identity, and singer Caroline Polachek's alluring vocals makes it super attractive. Hopefully this won't get lost in the recent rush of throwback '80s synth pop, half of which is rubbish.Rating: 7.8 out of 10 Fever Ray – "Fever Ray" (Mute/Rabid Records)
Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson, vocalist for The Knife and contributing singer on Röyksopp's new album, is, at least for the time being, Fever Ray. It really doesn't matter what Andersson calls herself, she turns everything into pure bliss. The Swede's self-titled album wows with an infectious swirl of electronic pop, electrified by Andersson's sexy, dark and slithering vocals. Top tracks: "Triangle Walks" and "When I Grow Up."Rating: 9.6 out of 10 88-Keys – "The Death of Adam" (Decon Records) First off, "The Death of Adam" is a concept album (I think) about the death of a man named Adam (perceived to be producer and lyricist 88-Keys). Here's another album that's all over the place. Against the best hip-hop concept albums of all time, Mr. Lif's epic "I Phantom," this one falls short. The production is tight on this album, and the cameos of Kanye, Redman, Kid Cudi and Little Brother's Phonte, keep this afloat. Phonte and 88-Keys' collaboration on "Close Call," and the overall production, holds this album together. But the lyrics do it little justice. Rating: 6.8 out of 10 BM Linx – "Black Entertainment" (Craze Factory)
It's about time NYC put its foot down and gave (as strange as it sounds) a friendly middle finger to the UK, which took over the universe last year with ace indie rock, punk, and synth-pop bands. The burgeoning early 2000s' indie scene of The Strokes, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc., became somewhat forgotten after the onslaught of absolutely phenomenal UK bands. The BM Linx boys have managed to spin progressive, industrial, new wave and electronic rock genres into a sound that'll excite and rattle everyone from the East Village in Manhattan to the England's epic venues. If you don't believe me (even though you should), listen to "Kids on Fire" and then "Find the Water," which fall on opposite ends of this splendid spectrum.Rating: 8.7 out of 10

The task of the European Court of Justice is to ensure that the law is observed in interpreting and applying the Treaties. This duty is carried out in a transnational constitutional environment where interpretation and application are to a large extent divorced from each other. An array of approaches to assessing the Court's work already exists. The distinct underlying assumptions of each perspective affect how Court practice is interpreted and evaluated. In terms of legal interpretation, at the one extreme would be those who subscribe to a historical-originalist – or conserving – approach and at the other those subscribing to an uncritically teleological or dynamic approach premised on furthering integration. Neither extreme necessarily reflects in either descriptive or normative terms a fair or realistic understanding of the Court, its work, and the outcomes of legal interpretation. Even if in reality the differences were more a matter of degree, developing a better balanced approach is useful.
The approach advocated here is called Court of Justice legal reasoning. The approach is critical towards offering generalisations concerning the Court's work based on purposively chosen case-law, downplaying the role of law in not only facilitating but also restraining the Court's choices, and overemphasising teleology or integration as pre-designated and permanent explanatory factors of legal evolution. The Court of Justice legal reasoning approach is firmly anchored to actual case-law analysis, instead of abstract legal theory, which ensures it does not become wholly disconnected from the everyday of courts. Moreover, the approach takes into account how the Court keeps applying its relatively conventional self-assumed criteria of legal interpretation, considers interpretations offered in preliminary rulings in their systemic and factual context, and generally views the Court as the constitutional court of a legal order. Finally, the approach builds on sincerely listening to the Court: considering the meaning of silences in reasoning, ways of restrictive interpretation, and the distinction between singular cases and lines of cases in defining the degree of universality of interpretations included in them. The aim is to further the understanding of scholars and practitioners in terms of how legal interpretations pronounced, especially in preliminary rulings, both have been and could be interpreted by their legal audience.

WoW Celebrities
Posted on February 3, 2014 by Sharden
I've decided something… I really don't like the word "celebrities". Not conceptually, mind you, but the actual letter structure of the word – it's just weird. Anyway, I wanted to talk a little about the celebs of the WoW community. … Continue reading →

Merge Funtoo 1.0 profile support into gentoo
This page is a work-in-progress proposal to merge the Funtoo profile system into Gentoo Linux.
This page is a proposal for integrating the Funtoo profile system into Gentoo Linux.
- Funtoo 1.0 Profile - description of the system.
- Creating Profiles - how to add the profile system to a non-Funtoo tree.
- Portage Profile Logic - How Portage processes profiles.
Requirements and Design Ideas
Eselect Profile Support
We want eselect-profile to support both the funtoo style profiles and the gentoo style profiles at the same time First thought, says if /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is a symlink, only show gentoo style profiles; this will hide the changes from unsuspecting users so they don't accidently set an experimental profile as gentoo tries to catch up.
If /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is not a symlink, then show a list of old style profiles and new style profiles. This may require funtoo to remove profiles.desc and profiles.eselect.desc from gentoo before replicating.
Catalyst Support
- seems trivial, support catalyst setting new style profiles.
- input requested from funtoo team on suggested syntax
Build Profiles in Gentoo
Build prototype profiles in gentoo for all possible x86/amd64 varients.
- mgorny has some good ideas here for multilib stuff
- blueness has some good ideas for hardened and alternative libc implementations
Piggy-Back System for Funtoo
Funtoo currently imports various settings from the existing Gentoo system profiles. The new Gentoo profile system should be designed to facilitate this "piggy-backing" to allow for maximum collaboration between Gentoo and Funtoo Linux.

Fertile imaginings
Many artists work not just on canvas and paper, but turn their eye and hand to the world on their doorstep. We show you some of their loveliest garden retreats – fine art beneath the open sky
Jacques Majorelle
Jardin Majorelle
The French painter Jacques Majorelle landscaped this lush garden in Marrakech in the 1920s using plants from all around the globe, including palms, cactuses and ferns. It was here in this green oasis that fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé fell in love. In the 1980s, they bought the garden and set up a trust to ensure its preservation.
Robert Irwin
Getty Center Garden
Californian installation artist Robert Irwin once described his park as a "sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." The green artwork, commissioned for the grounds of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, was completed in the 1990s. Its tree-lined paths lead to the centerpiece of the park, which features a floating labyrinth of azaleas.
Claude Monet
[requirements for shortcode "universalien" not met: required_arguments not given (text) /]jardin d'eau[/universalien]
Bridge over water-lily pond: In the late 19th century, the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet created the ultimate artists' garden outside his house in Giverny, a village between Paris and Rouen, and then captured its beauty for posterity in his series of large-format Nymphéas paintings.
Daisen-in Zen Garden
Rock gardens are integral to Zen Buddhism and Japanese culture. They represent landscapes on a miniature scale: Mountains are symbolized by rocks, waterways by pebbles. The Daisen-in Temple in Kyoto, built circa 1509, is part of one of Japan's most important temple complexes. The design and building of the garden is attributed to the painter, poet and art critic Sōami.
CÉsar Manrique
JarDín de Cáctus
The Jardín de Cáctus, containing thousands of indigenous and imported succulents, opened in the north of the Canary island of Lanzarote in 1990. Why cactuses, exactly? The choice can be interpreted as symbolic: For many years, the artist César Manrique was active in protecting the pristine beauty of his native island and fought foreign investors in an effort to ensure its preservation. Visitors are still welcome.
Derek Jarman
Derek Jarman's Garden
Driftwood and roses, stones and gorse: There's a certain mystique and poetry to the garden the filmmaker and artist Derek Jarman began creating in the dry soil and salty air of Dungeness, southern England, in the mid-1980s. The work Jarman put into the garden was also a tribute to life following his diagnosis with AIDS. He died in 1994.
Mary Mattingly
Because she felt the New York City area didn't have enough fresh produce, American installation and performance artist Mary Mattingly converted a barge into a garden to grow herbs, lettuce and even kiwis. The barge stops at various spots along the East and Hudson Rivers for people to come along and help themselves.

I was alone in the kitchen when these gumbo Mardi Gras cupcakes came out of the oven. Although I had loaded them with big chunks of smoked andouille sausage and prepared them using a roux (the traditional method for making gumbo), I wasn't sure what to expect. Like you, I'd never tried a gumbo cupcake. Would the cupcake taste vaguely spicy, or perhaps like a cupcake version of pigs in the blanket?
What I tasted as I popped a warm gumbo cupcake bite into my mouth blew my mind. I tasted gumbo! "These cupcakes actually taste like gumbo!" I exclaimed aloud to no one but the masked ghosts of Mardi Gras past, present, and future who were giving me quizzical sidelong glances.
I served up these Mardi Gras gumbo cupcakes to several friends (trying to contain my excitement, lest they think me bonkers for proclaiming that the taste was so similar to the Cajun classic). To my relief and joy, they all agreed with me! One of my friends even went so far as to say that my cupcakes tasted like the gumbo made by one of the best chefs in town – huge happy dance time!
Are these gumbo cupcakes wacky? Oh, yeah! Are they worth making for Mardi Gras? You betcha! Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Everything You Need to Know About Mardi Gras Gumbo Cupcakes
- I put a shrimp on top of the cupcake. It's a nice touch, I think, but there is no fish in the cupcake. If you want to try a version with fish in the cupcake, go for it!
- Some gumbo has okra, some doesn't. I made my gumbo cupcakes sans okra. I may be the only cupcake baker on the planet who opted against using okra in a cupcake recipe because she already has a recipe for okra cupcakes.
- There's sugar in these cupcakes, but they are definitely savory. It really confuses people if you try to call them dessert. I'd suggest serving them as an appetizer.
- Serve the cupcakes warm. They are much better that way. You can reheat them in the microwave (in ten second bursts).
- The glaze works well on the cupcakes and makes them look more like cupcakes, but it's totally superfluous. The cupcakes are just as good without the glaze.
- Did I mention that these cupcakes taste just like gumbo?!?!
Gumbo Cupcakes
Roux Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Cupcake Ingredients:
- roux from above
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon file powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 6 ounces andouille sausage cooked and roughly chopped
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon file powder
- 12 grilled shrimp optional
Roux Directions
- I used the oven method for the roux because I clearly prefer baking to cooking. This roux will come out much thicker than a traditional roux. This is intentional.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Place oil and flour in an oven-safe skillet.
- Bake for ninety minutes, stirring every twenty minutes. The end result should be thick and medium brown.
- Remove from oven and cool to room temperature before using in this cupcake recipe.
Cupcake Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix roux, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
- Mix in eggs, one at a time.
- Mix in chicken broth.
- Mix in tomato paste.
- Fold in sausage.
- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
- Glaze Directions:
- Mix all ingredients.
- Spread over warm cupcakes. (If not serving immediately, refrigerate until ready to serve, and reheat in the microwave in ten second bursts.)
- Optionally, top with a grilled shrimp.

The last time I bought a game that had just come out was Shovel Knight in 2014, and before that it was Halo 4 in 2013. I currently do not own any console newer than the GameCube.
The first time I really felt myself being turned off with a modern console was probably some time in 2010 when I was playing either Gran Turismo 5 Prologue or Gran Turismo 5. I was completely blown away by how bad the loading times were. The install times themselves were absolutely ridiculous. I don't understand what is so hard about making a game where I can insert a disc and be playing within 60 seconds.
The other game that I really noticed having problems with was Grand Theft Auto IV. I tried very hard to enjoy the game but I felt the cars controlled poorly and it seemed like the camera didn't want to follow me as I turned. The physics were awful and graphics very bland and washed out. I was a huge fan of the PS2 GTAs and 4 was a huge letdown.
I don't think I even have to talk about downloadable content. I wasn't one of the people that bought the $5 horse armor in Oblivion but I did pay for the expansion packs. Companies want to nickel and dime us to death.
With the advent of companies like Facebook and Google, I feel like we are constantly being spied on. It is very difficult (impossible?) to buy a new console in 2018 and start playing a game without any sort of internet connection. There are times when I don't feel like I want someone watching me.
Are games made in 2018 going to be collectable or sought after in 2028 or 2038? The companies will no longer be supporting these games, so if internet connection is required, these games are going to end up in the landfill. What a waste.
Too much attention is focused on online play. Some of us prefer to play solo without hearing racist insults being leveled at others.
It's no wonder retro games have seen a resurgence. A game like Kirby's Adventure is final; no updating required, no internet connection required, no tutorials, and you can start playing almost instantly.
so yeah long story short, gaming for me died with the 6th generation

Every day, in the family life, the hours scoot away, but in some strange, cussed way, what the children call the Blobby Blob gets written. Most of the time, I have to apologise for grammatical errors, non-sequiturs, possible idiocies, wild tangents, and general lack of coherence. But at least there are words. I think that as long as there are words, everything is all right.
Tonight, I have to admit defeat. The hours went; the fingers can hardly move to type; there are no words.
The weather was cold and glittering; the children were sweet and funny; the new gentleman is getting more and more settled. I even won huge wads of cash, as the enchanting grey Dynaste romped home to his second glorious victory over fences. He was a good hurdler, but he has taken to the big jumps as if they were the very things he was waiting for. I have rarely seen a horse have so much fun.
I was very careful not to shout, for fear of alarming the new gent. Stanley the Lurcher is not used to my intemperate racing self; I don't want to shock him, early on. My old girls used to jump up and down and bark their heads off as I howled my fancies home, mostly up the Cheltenham hill. (When Kauto Star won one of his Gold Cups, I think it was the first, we were making such a racket that my neighbour burst in the front door, thinking that we were suffering a home invasion.) I shall have to introduce Mr S gradually to this kind of rumpus.
In other words, it was a Good Day.
No time or energy for pictures either. Just two of the dear new arrival:
He really is a glorious fellow. I love that rather whippety profile. I am trying to work out his heritage. I think there is greyhound, possibly a bit of boxer, even a touch of Lab, I am almost sure some collie, and a dash of Staffordshire. A lot of sight dog, as some of the clever Dear Readers have observed. This is a very particular thing, which needs me to develop a whole new set of skills. His sight dog heritage is already showing; he can spot a fly at twenty paces.
The Smallest Cousin has just crawled onto my lap. 'That's a LOT of blob,' she says. 'You really are doing that Blobby Blob.'
She pauses. She thinks for a moment. 'I would like a computer,' she says. (She is four years old, so the possibility is remote.) She says, seriously: 'I'd like to press all those buttons.'
I think: I'd like to press all those buttons too. It would make my agent very happy.
As I finish, and scroll back to check the paltry amount of words, the Smallest Cousin says, in hollering cartoon voice: 'Whoah! You were a big writer there.' Out of the mouths of babes, I think. If only it were true.

Problems with sensors and cables
Jul 19, 2011, 07:37 pm
Hi all,
I have a problem with my project. I have different sensors to measure environmental data. 2 of them are a TSL235R to measure light intensity by the use of Frequency Counter Library on digital pin 5. The other is a QR1114 IR sensor what control an anemometer. It is connected to digital pin 3 and it use interrupts to count the revolutions.
Each one is wire by a ribbon cable to the arduino duemilanove, and they runs perfectly. The problem appear when i connect all the sensors (those and others) trough a 8-wires cable to arduino. Results from the QR1114 climb a lot! When the TSL235R is unplugged, the reply becaomes correct again... So it seems that the signal through both wires couple sin some way. For that reason i changed the cable to other cable with 8-shielded wires (they are shielded 2 by 2). i connected only the 2 problematic sensors to 2 different packs to have shields in between... and the problem persist!
So, i am coming crazy because i don´t know what could be the problem... i could still use different cables for each sensor, but it multiple the cables that i require and it made more complex the design and more ugly the final result.
Any idea or proposal?
Thanks guys!

I think you need to post more information for any usefull ideas. It seems really counter intuitive, that there should be interference with ribbon cables, but not with individual cables (as they would probably be close together as well, right?
what are "all the sensors (those and others)" ? is there anything more going on than just those 3 sensors you mentioned?
How do you power your sensors?
Maybe you could post a picture of the connectors, both ends of the ribbon cable - I'd be interested in seeing it. I feel like its probably something really obvious, that went unnoticed, becouse its so obvious... you know what I mean.
good luck

Thanks fkeel,
Tomorrow i will take some pictures to show the connector and the sensors.
In really, i have more than those sensors. My project include: LDR, TSL235R, QR1114, SH15. All of them have wires (independant ribbon cable for each sensor) , and codes what runs perfectly each one of them, but also when they are connected to arduino duemilanove.
The problem started when i removed the ribbon cables and connected all the sensor to a unique cable (8-wires). All the combinations runs ok, except when the QR1114 and the TSL235R are connected at the same time. So the problem seems to be in some way of coupling, but also when the 8-wire cable have individual shields for each couple of cables!...
The webpage where i have the description of the project is this one:
however, it does not include all the information about the sensors and problems that i report here.
Here is described these two sensors (sorry, in spanish, but you can see the diagrams and the complete arduino code):
Tomorrow i will try to have more information to post here.

Yes, Grumpy_Mike. I will prepare an sketch with fritzing, and post it to show you all the sensors and the individual circuits for each one, and all the connections.
For the moment: here is the previous discussions about code related to TSL235R:

Problem sounds like cross-talk. How long are the cables? Is every signal line next to a ground line all the way?

Hi MarkT,
I think that the problem is not the longitude of wires, because i supposed it was the problem, and i tried with a short piece of cable of only 15 cm... and the problem was still there in the same way that in a 1.5 meters long cable.
The cable have a ground line, what are near to all the others... i tried also connecting the shield of the cable to ground...
I will try to post here some pictures to show you everything...
Thanks for your interest!

Glen Campbell's Daughter Fights to Bring Him Home
Glen Campbell has been in an Alzheimer's care facility since April, but his oldest daughter Debby is fighting to take him home and provide care for him herself.
"I want to take my dad home and take care of him," she tells Country Weekly. "I know that he is getting along great with the people who are at the facility, but that's not how I feel -- as his daughter -- he should spend the rest of his life. I feel like he should be surrounded by loved ones at home."
Although Campbell's wife Kim gave an update after he moved into the facility, saying he was happy and content, his daughter Debby just doesn't think his quality of life is up to par.
His living quarters consist of a small bedroom with a couch, and she says, "... my dad deserves better than this. I'm not saying it's bad by any means, but I don't think he's getting the attention that he needs. If I felt that [his family in Nashville] was spending hours with him and eating meals with him, it would be different. If I lived there, I would want to spend from the time he wakes in the morning until the evening with him . . . But why can't I do that in the comfort of my own home with him instead of flying to Nashville and going to a care facility?"
She adds that the 'Gentle on My Mind' hitmaker has told her that he wants to go home. And so she is abiding by her father's wishes. Although the 78-year-old has been deeply stricken by the disease, he still recognizes his daughter.
The singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011, but continued playing shows and touring for nearly two years after his diagnosis. Sadly, it's unlikely that the country star will ever perform again.

This program adds on to the Windows 7 snap feature. Not only does it let you snap left and right. It will let you snap top and bottom.
There are two ways to achieve the snap features.
1: Hold the ctrl button and drag the window to the desired location.
2: Hold the ctrl button and point your mouse to the desired location.
Yep, that easy. It should work in Windows XP too. I haven't had anybody test it. But, the api's work in xp I do believe. I wasn't sure how to package this so I just rar'd the entire project. It can most likely be rewritten to look and work better.
It uses a windowshooklib I think I found here. Credit goes to the author for that file.
Have fun!

The current BMW M3 has been an all-conquering hero. In arguments around this office, its name is regularly invoked to slap down the claimed merits of other performance cars, even those considerably more expensive. It rebuffed the challenge of the Mercedes C32 AMG and the (previous-generation) Audi S4 in our May 2001 comparison test. For those who've grown weary of our veneration of BMWs and of the M3 in particular, we've got some more bad news: Twelve months and 31,653 miles with an Oxford green M3 coupe have only strengthened our enthusiasm.
We certainly never tired of looking at it. Compared with the regular 3-series coupes, the M3 squats low; it faces the world with a purposeful, but not garish, enlarged front air dam; its wheel openings flare out a bit. Eighteen-inch "satin chrome" wheels (eight inches wide at the front, nine inches at the rear) fill the wheel wells. Four exhaust tips peek out from under the rear valance. Despite the subtlety of the changes, the overall appearance is distinctly muscular.
Inside, there's a surprising level of luxury. "I had no idea such a cool leather package was available from BMW," commented associate editor Joe DeMatio, referring to the cinnamon-colored nappa leather that swathed the interior. That supple cowhide plus dual power front seats, rain-sensing wipers, and a power moonroof make up the $3100 luxury package. Our car's interior was further fancied up with a CD player ($200), a Harman Kardon sound system ($675), adjustable seatback width and lumbar ($500), and seat heating (part of the $700 cold weather package). Aside from two discordant notes--over the black plastic trim and the oval rear-view mirror--the cabin garnered lots of praise, with production editor Jennifer Misaros even noting that the steering wheel "feels great and looks handmade, with its tricolor M stitching."
The swanky cabin proved very livable. Unlike those of most high-performance coupes, the M3's back bench is not merely decorative. "You can get the kids in the back and teach them the true meaning of fear," observed executive editor--and father of the year--Mark Gillies. Average-sized adults have enough space back there, too, even when sitting behind six-footers. As for the best seat in the house--the left front--online editor Greg Anderson pronounced it "fantastic" after an eighteen-hour drive. Most others agreed. DeMatio elaborated: "These should be the archetype of sporty car seats. The $500 for adjustable seatback width is money well spent for anyone who ever turns a corner quickly, which, one would hope, is anyone who owns this car."
We certainly turned somecorners quickly. And the M3is a virtuoso at it. Compared with your garden-variety 3-series coupes--no slouches in the handling department themselves--the M3 has a slightly lower and wider stance; recalibrated springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars; unique ball joints and bushings; and additional bracing for the rear subframe. When the juices start flowing, the M Variable Differential Lock (which can send 100 percent of the available torque to either wheel), the Dynamic Stability Control, and the tires' tremendous grip keep the limits high and shrug off midcorner line adjustments. Turn off the electronic watchdogs, and you can push the car as far out of line as you dare, but the fine chassis balance and near-even weight distribution help you gather it back up.
Another key element of a high-performance car'schassis is, of course, brakes, and the M3 did not disappoint. It's certainly got the equipment, with four vented discs, 12.8 inches in front and 12.1 at the rear. Not only did they excel in everyday use, but they also proved their mettle by turning in a fade-free performance in a vigorous workout at our track day last spring.
While that racetrack outing highlighted the M3's exceptional chassis, it was the engine that hogged the limelight. "There's always so muchpower instantly available that it takes tremendous restraint to keep from roaring off into a quick oblivion," observed one driver. "On the track, the power of the engine is just amazing," echoed another.
That engine, as any BMW-head can tell you, is just as powerful in our U.S. version as it is in Europe's--which was not the case previously. It spins out a glorious 333 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque from 3.2 liters of displacement. Among its various modifications, versus the 330Ci's 3.0-liter straight six, are its six individual electronically controlled throttles and two throttle-response modes, standard and sport, the latter of which is accessed via a button on the dash. Some felt that the aggressive response of the sport mode was almost too snappy for track work.
Of course, we didn't have to be on a racetrack to appreciate this engine. Far from it. "This car and I were invincible in the two-lane passing zones on M-72," read one testimonial after a blast to northern Michigan. From the backroads of Kentucky came this: "Engine just rockets you from one corner to the next." And a road trip to New York brought this: "Made it from Rochester, New York, to Ann Arbor (380 miles) in just under six hours and on only one tank of gas."
This unique engine mates to a unique, six-speed transmission--or, as of 2002, an optional Sequential Manual Gearbox. We've sampled the SMG, and the choice is really a matter of personal taste. The SMG's chief advantage, particularly on a racetrack, is its ability to snap off ultra-quick shifts and to match revs flawlessly on every downshift. But for those who like to work the box themselves, we're here to report that the standard setup also lends itself to easy heel-and-toe downshifts.
Despite all the hard use, our only unscheduled service visit was prompted when the car went into "limp home" mode, accompanied by illumination of the DSC, EML, and "check engine" lights. We had the throttle valve actuator replaced, but the lights came on again soon thereafter, and a second new actuator didn't help. Finally, a new throttle position sensor cured the M3. We also were hearing valvetrain noise at cold start, but a switch to 10W-60 oil quieted it down. A clunking during shifts into first gear and an occasionally noisy clutch were dismissed as normal by the local service writer, as was a lumpy idle on cold starts.
We skirted one issue that some M3 owners haven't been so lucky with. The switch to 10W-60 oil was instituted after BMW had several M3 engines fail in the field. BMW has yet to pinpoint the problem, which has affected mostly U.S. cars delivered in late 2001. The company continues to investigate, and the warranty for internal engine parts on all M3s has been upgraded to six years/ 100,000 miles.

Topic: Custom 1/6 Boba Fett ROTJ
Hey everyone. I'm new here and thought you might like to see what I've been working on. I used the OTC fett on a BBi G 3.5 body and did lots of detailing to it. Turned out pretty well I'm really happy with it. Especially the jetpack. The weathering ended up amazing. This is the third Boba upgrade I have done and I think I've perfected it to the best of my abilities. Anyway hope you like the pictures and if you are interested he is listed on ebay now.

Of the 34 counties in Kansas with populations of at least 15,000, Ellis County is unique when it comes to water. It is the only county either not sitting on a large underground aquifer or located along or east of U.S. Highway 81 -- which runs through Wichita and Salina -- where surface water is reliably available.
That, in a nutshell, explains why the city of Hays is both fixated on conservation efforts and preoccupied with identifying and securing a long-term water supply. Current sources simply aren't enough for the future, and even the present gets threatened regularly by drought, climate change, decreased aquifer recharge capabilities caused by modern farming practices, and the fact the Smoky Hill River is impaired by Cedar Bluff Reservoir.
Conservation practices have been the relatively easy part of the equation. While tweaking of regulations goes on to this day, residents of Hays are perhaps the best stewards of water in the state. The 95 gallon per-capita use is much lower than the region's average of 172 gallons.
Finding the best option for a long-term water source has proven more vexing. Identified as a priority in the 1950s, there have been at least 76 water studies done by various entities stretching to 1971. Officials have examined the Big Bend area of the Arkansas River, Big Creek Alluvial, Circle K Ranch, Waconda Reservoir, Wilson Reservoir, Cedar Bluff, Dakota Aquifer, Kanopolis Lake, Smoky Hill River Basin, Post Rock Rural Water District, Saline River, Solomon River and the Ogallala Aquifer.
This week, Hays city commissioners will consider staff's recommendation to go with the R9 Ranch in Edwards County. Formerly known as Circle K Ranch, the 6,700-acre R9 Ranch has been owned by the city since 1994. The $3.55 million purchase price included almost 8,000 acre-feet of water rights that can be drawn from the Arkansas River and the Ogallala Aquifer. Currently, Hays uses 2,100 acre-feet of water annually.
Commissioners appear poised to authorize staff to move forward with developing R9's water. As the process will take years, we believe passage Thursday would be wise -- and necessary.
Bringing the water 78 miles north to Hays, mostly alongside U.S. Highway 183, is estimated to cost $65 million. Approximately $27 million already is in hand thanks to a half-cent sales tax voters approved in 1992 for water projects. As City Manager Toby Dougherty expects the project to take 15 years simply getting to the construction phase, that tax alone will generate significantly more by the time it's needed. Other municipalities might be interested in paying a portion, as it could provide long-term solutions for them as well. The city of Russell already owns an 18-percent stake of the ranch, although commissioners there have discussed selling that portion to Hays.
The financial details can wait for another day. Getting started on the project cannot. Securing water for the future should foster economic development in the present.
The R9 Ranch project is the best option available -- and worth pursuing. City commissioners should direct staff to get started immediately.

The Lake Superior Beach Monitoring and Notification Program exists to test recreational beach water and notify the public if bacteria levels become unsafe. This project will expand the Beach Program to include additional outreach efforts, sanitary surveys and testing of new technologies to improve the Beach Program. Monitoring results will be used to inform the public, find the sources of bacterial contamination and address polluted runoff from improper waste disposal.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.

Brad Davis' left foot just seems to improve with age. On Sunday night, that 29-year-old leg set up a goal for the Houston Dynamo in their 3-1 win over the LA Galaxy, giving Davis a career-high 16 assists on the season and top spot in MLS' assist table.
There is no official award handed out for leading the league in assists, but it's an accomplishment worthy of recognition.
We here at MLSsoccer.com like to call it the "Silver Boot." US international Herculez Gomez on Sunday suggested "Silver Platter" on his Twitter account. (Give us your suggestions at the official MLS Twitter feed.)
Heading into the LA match, Davis was level with Galaxy star David Beckham at 15. Beckham did not play against Houston, while Davis did his usual thing on the left side of the Dynamo midfield.
His assist, a pinpoint curling cross that Carlo Costly headed home, was one for the highlight reel.
This season is not the first time Davis has come out on top of the assist table. In 2009, he shared the league lead with Colorado's Omar Cummings, after both finished with 12 assists on the season.
Davis has now been setting up his teammates for a full decade. The Missouri native broke into the league in 2002 with New York, notching three helpers in his rookie season.
Since then, he has taken his career total to 80, tied for ninth all-time in MLS history level with Chris Henderson and Mauricio Cienfuegos. Steve Ralston, now an assistant coach for the Dynamo, is the MLS all-time assist leader with 135.

AMSTERDAM - Syria's government has missed another deadline for destroying its chemical weapons stockpile but still says it will meet a final deadline of June 30.
Under a timetable set up by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Syria was to have given up its entire stockpile of chemical weapons by Wednesday.
Last week, a U.S. diplomat said Syria had only removed 4 percent of its most toxic chemicals so far. All should have been removed by Dec. 31 under the framework.
Russia said Tuesday that Syria is preparing a new schedule and will make further shipments soon. OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan said his organization is awaiting news from Syria.
Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Mikdad said Syria is still cooperating and plans to meet the June 30 deadline.

A very interesting take on the mind of 'leftists' from Ace of Spades. A few choice sentences are :
Now, the things the left wants you to believe are not easy to believe. It's hard to believe that, for example, taxing work and investment will not reduce work and investment (especially when one simultaneously believes that taxing the use of gasoline or other energy will reduce the use of gasoline or other energy).
Why is humor and irony so common on the right and so hard to find on the left? Humor and irony require emotional distance from a subject-- something I would contend the left is in of rather short supply.
The philosophy behind the article likens leftism to a fanatical religion. However the author slightly falls into the trap that 'leftists' set for him, by referring to them as 'progressives'. That term, along with 'elite' and 'liberal' are tools that the leftists in question use to automatically elevate themselves to some perceived level of moral and intellectual superiority over those who don't share their views. To cede these words to them is itself to grant them unearned credibility.
Another thing that is funny, that the author points out, is how 'leftists' are utterly convinced that those who disagree with them are stupid (and also evil). Yet, the 2004 Presidential Election Statistics show a rather straightforward corelation between income and a tendency to vote for Bush. Those earning over $200,000 a year voted 63% for Bush. The middle class slice earning between $50,000 and $75,000 voted 56% for Bush. Only those who earned under $30,000 voted strongly against Bush as a group (from cnn.com).
Income certainly does not corelate exactly to intelligence, work ethic, and determination, as someone in college may have all of these things but still not yet be earning a high income. But to believe the 'leftist' view that Bush supporters are stupid is to believe that intelligence is inversely corelated to an ability to earn a high income. This is vastly more difficult to logically accept.
A belief that disproportionate financial rewards are earned by people who are stupid enough to support Bush could lead to a dislike for the American system in general, and sympathy for socialism and communism, no matter how many countries those systems have failed in. It thus would appear that socialists are not interested in equality at all, but merely punishing the dumb people who would otherwise be earning more money than the anti-meritocracy socialists.

I've been constantly amazed at the quality of the musicians in the San Antonio Symphony since I arrived in town 11 months ago. I just received news that dramatically demonstrates the excellence of the symphonic musicians in San Antonio. It also reminds me that we often don't appreciate that which is nearby and familiar. Until we have some external validation, we often under-appreciate our local talent.
The news is that our Principal Trombone Amanda Stewart has just won the position of Associate Principal Trombone of the New York Philharmonic! Bravo Amanda!
The New York Philharmonic is the one of the oldest and greatest orchestras in the world. Founded in 1842, it performs 180 concerts annually and has been led by such iconic conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Arturo Toscanini and Gustav Mahler! Past guest conductors include Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Aaron Copland.
Amanda started playing trombone at the tender age of six. She received her Bachelor's degree from The Juilliard School in 2004, where she studied with the gentleman (the most famous trombonist in America) that she will now be sitting next to in the New York Philharmonic!
We are going to miss Amanda terribly, but we can't help be tremendously happy for her and proud to have had her in our orchestra for five seasons. Auditioning for any professional orchestra, including the San Antonio Symphony, is just torture! Often 100 to 200 talented musicians apply for just one position. In the early stages of the audition, the applicants get just five to ten minutes to prove their worth. They have to play a handful of orchestral excerpts–the five or six toughest passages in the repertoire. They play behind a screen so that no prejudice can influence the committee of seven musicians judging them. Usually after a day of hearing these brief auditions four or five finalists are chosen for a longer audition. After that round, the one or two remaining musicians are often asked to play a week with the orchestra.
The difference between the final winner and the rest of the field is often minuscule. Imagine an interview for a job where if, in the course of a two-day interview, you stumble on just ONE WORD and therefore don't win the position! Maybe a better comparison is the NFL. Everyone in the NFL was the best athlete in their high school, then an All-American in college. Then most NFL players don't ever get to the playoffs. Amanda just won the equivalent of the Super Bowl!
The training of musicians from conservatories and colleges is just tremendous. And it isn't just American schools–in the San Antonio Symphony we have musicians from China, Korea, Japan, Syria, the Ukraine and Turkey! Next time you hear the Symphony just remember that the players onstage are the musical equivalent of A-Rod, Tim Duncan or Tony Romo.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A growing demand for properly certified and educated personal trainers is the top fitness trend for 2011, according to a worldwide survey of fitness professionals by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
This is the fourth year that the demand for trainers has been at the top of the list in the annual survey, published in the November/December issue of ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal. The 2,200 fitness professionals who returned completed surveys ranked 31 potential trends, which were then tabulated by ACSM to create the top 20 trend list.
"As the market in this sluggish economy becomes even more crowded and competitive, the need for regulation, either from within the industry or from external sources, is growing," Walter R. Thompson, lead author of the survey and a fellow of ACSM, said in a release from ACSM, a certifying organization. "For example, a number of states and the District of Columbia are considering legislation to regulate personal trainers just as it does physicians, lawyers and pharmacists."
This is the first year in several years that Pilates fell off the top 20 list. It had been ranked ninth in the 2010 trends list. Balance training and stability balls also fell off the list.
New trends on the list include worker incentive programs, clinical integration and reaching new markets.
"Interest in medical fitness, worker incentive programs, and worksite wellness programs may be a direct result of health care reform measures and Exercise is Medicine," Thompson said. "With an estimated 80 percent of Americans not having a regular exercise program or a place to exercise, health and fitness professionals must search for new ways to deliver their services to people who need them."
The top 10 fitness trends predicted for 2011 are:
1. Educated and experienced fitness professionals.
2. Fitness programs for older adults. The Baby Boomer generation is aging into retirement, some of them with more discretionary money than their younger counterparts. Many health and fitness professionals are creating age-appropriate fitness programs to keep older adults healthy and active.
3. Strength training. Strength training remains a central emphasis for many health club operators.
4. Children and obesity. Fitness professionals see the childhood obesity epidemic as an opportunity to create programs tailored to overweight and obese children.
5. Personal training. More and more students are majoring in kinesiology, which indicates that students are preparing themselves for careers in allied health fields, such as personal training. Education, training and proper credentialing for personal trainers have become increasingly important to the health and fitness facilities that employ them.
6. Core training. Distinct from strength training, core training specifically emphasizes conditioning of the middle-body muscles, including the pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen—all of which provide needed support for the spine.
7. Exercise and weight loss. Health and fitness professionals who provide weight loss programs are increasingly incorporating regular exercise and caloric restriction for better weight control in their clients.
8. Boot camps. Boot camps are high-intensity structured activity programs modeled after military-style training and led by an instructor. Boot camps incorporate cardiovascular, strength, endurance and flexibility drills in both indoor and outdoor settings.
9. Functional fitness. This is a trend toward using strength training to improve balance and ease of daily living. Functional fitness and special fitness programs for older adults are closely related.
10. Physician referrals. Physician referrals, a key component of the Exercise is Medicine initiative, partner medical professionals with health and fitness professionals to seamlessly integrate exercise into their patients' lives.

The intelligence community made substantive revisions to talking points about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, a government official said.
Shawn Turner, a spokesman for the director of National Intelligence, said Monday the unclassified talking points used by government officials who spoke about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the diplomatic mission were not substantively changed by any agency outside of the intelligence community, CNN reported.
The attack resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other diplomatic employees.
Republicans' already-withering criticism of the talking points intensified Friday after a closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearing with former CIA Director David Petraeus.
Some Republican congressional members suggested change came from the White House, the Justice Department or another agency.
The initial version included information linking individuals involved in the attack to al-Qaida, a senior U.S. official familiar with the draft told CNN. When the document was sent to the intelligence community for review, a decision was made to change "al-Qaida" to "extremists" for intelligence and legal reasons, the official said.
"First, the information about individuals linked to al-Qaida was derived from classified sources," the official said. "Second, when links were so tenuous -- as they still are -- it makes sense to be cautious before pointing fingers so you don't set off a chain of circular and self-reinforcing assumptions. Third, it is important to be careful not to prejudice a criminal investigation in its early stages."
Turner said the intelligence community "made substantive, analytical changes before the talking points were sent to government agency partners for their feedback. There were no substantive changes made to the talking points after they left the intelligence community."
The House intelligence panel indicated it wasn't satisfied with Turner's explanation.
"The statement released [Monday] by the DNI's spokesman regarding how the intelligence community's talking points were changed gives a new explanation that differs significantly from information provided in testimony to the committee last week," said committee spokeswoman Susan Phalen, adding that the panel looked forward to discussion the matter "as soon as possible to understand how the DNI reached this conclusion and why leaders of the intelligence community testified late last week that they were unaware of who changed the talking points."
