Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness (map) in 1975 and it now has a total of 19,246 acres. North Carolina contains approximately 13,590 acres. Tennessee contains approximately 5,656 acres. It is managed by the Forest Service. The Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness is bordered by the Citico Creek Wilderness to the west.
DescriptionJoyce Kilmer acquired some fame as a journalist, serving on the staff of the New York Times from 1913 to 1918, but most people remember him as the author of the poem "Trees" ("I think that I shall never see/A poem lovely as a tree"). He died in action in World War I. The 3,800 acres of North Carolina's Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest--perhaps the single most impressive growth of eastern virgin forest in the United States, with many trees hundreds of years old--is a part of Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness and borders Citico Creek Wilderness. Except for its northwestern section preserving the northwestern corner of Nantahala National Forest, this Wilderness is in North Carolina. Spared the keen edge of the ax when bankruptcy closed the local logging company in 1890, this Wilderness contains some magnificent old-growth forest, where oaks, hemlocks, and tulip poplars have reached six feet in diameter. The forest also includes yellow pine, sycamore, basswood, dogwood, beech, and oak, with a wild understory of shrubs, vines, ferns, mosses, lichens, liverworts, and herbaceous plants. Wildflowers bloom in spring sunshine but fade when the trees leaf out, darkening the forest floor. Six trailheads provide access to more than 60 miles of trail (in the entire Wilderness), which typically follow ridge tops or drop into the shady drainages. Camping is permitted anywhere in the Wilderness, but not at adjacent trail heads. Overnight parking is permitted at all trailheads except at the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Loop and Picnic Area. The Stiff Knee Trail (3.4 miles) follows Little Slickrock Creek across the Tennessee portion to a junction with the Slickrock Creek Trail (13.3 miles), longer and more beautiful than any trail in the entire Wilderness. You can see some of the best of the old growth along the Joyce Kilmer National Recreation Trail, a 1.2-mile path ambling through the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.

I could have sworn a run to the grocery store on Sunday would have been just the thing. With the city in lockdown watching the Chiefs at noon, I figured I would have the store to myself. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Evidently there are a bunch of us out there who are not huge football fans, and it was a veritable bun fight trying to get around the store without being held up by heel-dragging, lost-looking husbands, matrons who believe parking their cart in the middle of the aisle and somewhat catawampus is the thing to do, or children of various ages and stages romping around mama's cart so that there was a very real threat of their being run over by sensible cart drivers – i.e. me.
Patience is not one of my virtues.
Price Chopper on Woods Chapel Road has taken over the long-vacant store next door and has expanded dramatically. Thank the Lord there is now a pretty good cheese section, the deli has grown, the wine department is impressive and with a few exceptions things are still in the same aisles they always were.
Not according to my husband, of course. Sir's idea of an extremely bad time is to be sent to the store. He develops selective blindness and has the tendency to wander aimlessly around for a good 15 minutes before he gives up and comes home with three AAA batteries and a pint of milk. All well and good, but he was actually in the market for toothpaste and bread.
His ADD kicks in you see - I can see him roaming about thinking "toothpaste and bread," but diverting himself to "oh, Twinkies, ice cream, chocolate, shaving cream – hey Macarena!"
If he had his way the supermarket would be laid out very simply. Starting from the left Aisle One would contain the As and the Bs, Aisle Two would have the Cs and Ds – well you catch my drift.
And if he could only sell someone on the idea, it would be called The Man Mart. There would be a choice of one brand per item. Apparently thirty four types of toothpaste throw him into a bit of a tizzy, bread confuses him, and heaven help him if I ever sent him in for coffee. Eggs addle him, so much so that he even questions the reality of a brown egg versus a white one, and as to the various sizes, he is left speechless.
So the T aisle would contain toothpaste, identically packaged with only one type cramming the shelves. The B aisle, if he had his druthers, would contain common or garden variety white bread.
Eggs would – and in his mind – should come in only one size and one color, and of course the V aisle would be empty. Vegetables? Who needs them?
It's a good thing I didn't send him up there on Sunday. We would've ended up with light bulbs and a nice Chardonnay for dinner.

From a design and manufacturing aspect, cost-effectiveness is almost as important as performance.
FREE! Anritsu HSDPA Technology Reference Wall Poster
NGNs Helping to Create Growth
There has been plenty of talk about Next-generation Networks (NGNs) and the converging of technologies. Based upon a survey conducted at the recently completed NXTcomm show in Chicago, NGN services such as mobile video and IPTV are key elements of what most people see as a growing market.
The survey, conducted by Telephony magazine and Tellabs, was overwhelmingly positive. Ninety-six percent of the 678 people surveyed thought network infrastructure spending will increase this year. Other findings included 54% believing mobile video is driving growth now or will in the next 12 months, and 78% see IPTV being a driving growth force within three years. Slightly more than half also believe the convergence of wireless and wireline networks will happen within two years.
Complex, data-intensive technologies such as mobile video and IPTV create testing hurdles with every step of the development and implementation path. From a design and manufacturing aspect, cost-effectiveness is almost as important as performance. If initial sticker prices are too high, it can slow the implementation of some NGN technologies into the mainstream consumer market. So, testing must be efficient, accurate, and cost effective.
From an implementation standpoint, Quality of Service (QoS) is integral for network operators. That means existing operations support systems (OSS) must be changed, overhauled or possibly replaced in order to meet the demands of NGNs.
Anritsu is committed to providing test solutions for each step in the NGN path. This issue of Anritsu News highlights products that have been designed for NGN applications. Click on each technology tab to read about our test solutions.

By Lori Richards, CFCA sponsor
I am a mother raising the last of my five children, Annie, age 14. I was becoming increasingly concerned about Annie's materialistic viewpoint of life. You parents of teens know the deal: the iPods, the laptops, the cell phones … I wanted Annie to have the opportunity to experience the lifestyle of people less fortunate than she and perhaps open her heart and mind to the idea of service to others. I suggested a mission awareness trip to Guatemala to meet my sponsored child, David.
Annie was very sure she would not care to go. She would miss her hair straightener and Facebook contacts too much, not to mention the horror of having to consent to wearing a few clothes that carried the dreadful label of "appropriate dress." But I put my parental power to use, booked the trip for the two of us and listened to her moan for the next six weeks.
As it turned out, the trip was more meaningful for her than I had dared to hope. I felt blessed each step of the wayófrom the first moment she met and "clicked" with another teenage girl taking the trip, to the culminating moment when she came to me and said, "Mom, I want to sponsor a child." Bob Hentzen's gentle spiritual guidance taught her more about the world than nine years of schooling had. Although she and her new mission awareness trip friends could have chosen to play basketball or use Facebook after a long day, they almost exclusively chose to sit in on Bob's nightly talks and listen to his songs.
Annie is now in the process of putting together a picture collage of her new sponsored child, 2-year-old Shirley. She is eagerly thinking of ways to earn money to help meet the support payments.
Many things about this trip impressed me, but my daughter's "about-face" attitude toward helping the less fortunate was an unexpected gift from God, channeled through his devout servants, Bob and his marvelous staff. Thank you, CFCA, for helping to shape the lives of young peopleónot only the lives of your sponsored children, but the lives of the teens who are inspired to serve others after participating in one of your trips.

Family Care International and UNFPA conducted participatory research with girls, boys, their families and local leaders in three rural communities, and developed the A Better Future for Rural Girls: Manager's Briefing Kit. All of the content from this resource is available online in PDF.
A Price Too High to Bear, a research study conducted in Kenya by Family Care International in partnership with the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), and the KEMRI-CDC Research and Public Health Collaboration, documents the financial and social costs of maternal death to families in a poor, remote community and the ways that these costs affect newborn survival, child health and education, and family well-being.
A technical brief summarizing the study's findings is available for download, along with two advocacy briefs that highlight the key messages.

Skilled maternity care is recognized as a critical key to reducing maternal mortality. Today in many developing countries, however, more than half of women go through childbirth without such care. These women suffer disproportionately from pregnancy and childbirth complications that, far too often, lead to death or serious disability. In 2000, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, FCI launched the five-year Skilled Care Initiative, to improve pregnancy and childbirth care in more than 100 health facilities in four poor rural districts of Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Tanzania. This publication reports on qualitative research that gathered information on community member's shared attitudes, values and beliefs about maternal health services.
Rangwe Health Centre in Kenya is one facility that has shown a remarkable change since the beginning of the Skilled Care Initiative. The facility is featured in our short film, "Changing Lives, Saving Lives."

In 2012-2013, Family Care International conducted a mapping analysis in Uganda to gather information on the maternal health policy environment; the organizations, partnerships, and networks currently and potentially engaged in maternal health advocacy; and the advocacy goals, strategies, resources, and core messages being used. Through desk research, in-depth interviews with key informants, and focus group discussions, the mapping identifies advocacy priorities, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration.
In 2013, Family Care International conducted a mapping analysis in Zambia to gather information on the maternal health policy environment; the organizations, partnerships, and networks currently and potentially engaged in maternal health advocacy; and the advocacy goals, strategies, resources, and core messages being used. Through desk research and in-depth interviews with key informants, the mapping identifies advocacy priorities, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration.
In 2010 and 2011, Family Care International conducted mappings in five regions: Francophone West Africa, East Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and South Asia. These mappings identified the major policy challenges and opportunities related to introducing and improving access to misoprostol for preventing and/or treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Each document is available in English; when relevant to the region, they are available in French and Spanish as well.
Developed by Family Care International and Gynuity Health Projects, the Misoprostol for Postpartum Hemorrhage Information Kit contains a range of informational publications and briefing cards on the potential role of a widely available drug (misoprostol) in reducing deaths from postpartum hemorrhage, the leading cause of maternal death and disability in developing countries. All publications are available in English, French, and Spanish.
Misoprostol for Postpartum Hemorrhage: Questions and Answers for Policy Makers provides information about misoprostol's critical role in preventing and treating postpartum bleeding or hemorrhage (PPH), one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide. Misoprostol, a medicine initially developed to prevent stomach ulcers, is often the best available option for preventing and treating PPH in many low-resource countries, and may be a woman's only chance for surviving PPH.
This publication, available in English and French, presents case studies from three countries — Bangladesh, Nepal, and Zambia — that have introduced and scaled up the use of misoprostol for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). These country examples highlight the essential role of high-level commitment and support in initiating and implementing national programs, and provide inspiration and guidance for policy makers and partners seeking to expand access to misoprostol for PPH.
FCI has released an Advocacy Toolkit for Programme Managers that carefully lays out the steps in designing and launching an advocacy strategy to ensure that existing government commitments are translated into concrete programs and services.

Nearly 16 million girls between 15 and 19 give birth annually, almost all of them in developing countries. After a systematic review of the evidence, WHO has developed guidelines on Preventing early pregnancy and poor reproductive outcomes among adolescents in developing countries, which focus on key actions that aim to reduce the number of adolescent pregnancies in developing countries. In 2012, in collaboration with WHO and UNFPA, FCI developed this advocacy toolkit, available in English, French, and Spanish, to promote the dissemination of the guidelines' recommendations to policy makers and program planners globally. Designed for advocates, the toolkit encourages and enables evidence-based action among decision-makers, opinion leaders, medical personnel, researchers, and affected communities to prevent early pregnancy and poor reproductive outcomes among adolescent girls.
In 2013, the Kenya Constitution introduced a devolved system of government that aims to enhance access to health services by all Kenyans, especially those in rural and hard-to-reach areas. Within this new context of devolution, the implementation of health policy commitments will shift: some policy issues will continue to be addressed through national mechanisms while implementation of health policy issues will now be addressed at the county level with the full involvement of local policy makers and health officials.
Family Care International and the African Women's Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) developed this policy brief to provide guidance to civil society advocates on policy and decision-making structures, and avenues and opportunities for advocacy, in a context where the health system is devolved.

Scanning the fitness industry over the last five years, there certainly has been many unique and innovative programs that have emerged. Participants can enjoy an array of fusion-type classes such as hip hop salsa, yogalates or cyclestrength. However, are we really being innovative, or are we just recycling and blending the same programs so that they appear novel to our members?
You've probably heard the expression "if you build it, they will come" from the movie "Field of Dreams." To assist you in your five-step approach, we are going to use the acronym B.U.I.L.D. to set the foundation toward creating innovative programs that attract members.
1. Branch outside of your industry. How many of us actually take the time to venture out into the world beyond fitness? In order to search for new ideas and be inspired, you need to change the landscape of your experience. Consider attending an event outside your field of expertise. What could you learn from a medical conference, humor seminar or a dance association's annual convention? It doesn't matter which industry you choose. It only matters that you make the time to see what else is out there in the world. You will be surprised by the many ideas generated from your new experiences.
Popular culture is another great source of programming ideas. Reality TV has populated our consciousness, and people are hungry to be part of the experience. Not everyone will have an opportunity to become "The Biggest Loser," but you certainly have a chance to provide this experience for your members by creating a similar program. "So You Think You Can Dance" has given the public a glimpse into the world of dance. Consider creating a program where you offer four or five different dance styles, and then organize an evening to showcase what the members have learned. A good thing to ask yourself is, "How can I turn what is popular today into a revenue-generating program?"
2. Understand the need and then fill it. Understanding the needs of your members and then implementing a plan to go about filling them is a basic marketing strategy. Start with your members, then venture beyond the doors of the fitness facility and become a detective. Search for clues in finding needs that haven't yet been identified. What needs are out there just waiting for you to discover? Keep your eyes and ears open for any opportunity.
3. Listen to your members' feedback and suggestions. Your members can be a great source of information, provided you are open to their feedback and ideas. I used to love it when a member would come to my office and say, "I think you should run a weight-training program just for women. I have 10 friends ready to sign up." You can keep those ideas flowing by openly seeking feedback and suggestions from your members.
4. Invite others into the creative process. Invite your staff to give feedback and share ideas. Many of them may be involved in activities outside of their jobs. Some of these activities may have the potential to become programs for your members. Many years ago, while working at a fitness facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, I built upon my love of hiking and suggested that the company create a hiking club for members. We scheduled 10 hikes throughout the summer and charged an additional fee. The hikes gave members a chance to get to know each other, and many of them continued to hike together after the session ended. Participants were grateful for the programs, as it gave them an opportunity to try different activities that they might not have done on their own.
5. Deliver an experience and not just a program. Whatever programs you do decide to offer, deliver an experience for your members rather then just a class. Ask, "After this program is completed, how will the members feel?" If you offer a boot camp, is it more important how fit the members get or that they are challenged to push themselves to the outer borders of their performance limits? Creating a program through the use of an emotional response has a far greater impact then just creating a results-oriented class. If your participants respond positively to an experience, they will keep coming back for more. Best of all, they will bring friends with them.Use these tips to B.U.I.L.D. truly successful and exciting programming at your facility.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

I would like to introduce my latest castle moc: The White Tower. This seaside outpost rises from the rocks below. Some interesting features are the medium light blue sea (at high tide), door and windows with protruding stone surrounds, sweet crusader flag (thanks fryslayer) on a flextube pole, white plaster/whitewash tower walls, and my new corbel technique under the crenelations (without using jumper plates). Please let me know what you think of the moc. Thanks!
I will link to more brickfest tower pictures of the moc once they become available. My camera was taking lousy photos. I also had to disassemble the moc on the way home because the original flight shattered it

It has already been over two months since the mega earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant problem is ongoing. The current plan/estimate is to stabilize the plant in six to nine months, and that is the best-case scenario. Meanwhile, in my city, Koriyama (population 336,232), hourly radiation fallouts have been decreasing and are averaging around 1.35 micro sieverts per hour lately. The city is monitoring the radiation levels in food, and water, as well as in outdoor spaces such as parks. As a precaution, nursery schools, kindergarten, and schools at the K-12 level have implemented restrictions in the use of schoolyards. There have been efforts to reduce the effect of radiation fallout at schools in my city by covering the contaminated topsoil with soil extracted from a lower stratigraphic level. The mayor initially experimented with removing the topsoil completely, but there have been problems in finding a location to dump the soil. In either case, there has been a reduction in the level of radiation detected on the ground after the treatment. Radiation and earthquakes have been an everyday topic of conversation for people here in Fukushima. Since the earthquake on March 11, we have not yet had one aftershock-free day in my city, but, thankfully, the ones we are getting lately have been pretty small.
It has been interesting to observe a great variety of opinions regarding the situation in Fukushima and radiation risks on the internet, especially on Twitter. As a Fukushima resident, it is surreal to read people's tweets and blogs that claim Fukushima–the entire Fukushima prefecture–is uninhabitable. Many people and some environmental organizations, like Friends of the Earth Japan suggest that government's provisional standard for the safe level of radiation exposure for school children (under this emergency circumstance) is set unacceptably high (The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has recently announced that it will reduce the acceptable annual radiation exposure for Fukushima children from provisional 20 mili sieverts to 1 mili sieverts. It is not clear right now what more will or can be done to meet the new goal). Meanwhile, life is going on as usual here in Koriyama. The current event has made me think a lot about scientific and social understandings of risks, and the classic environmental topic of costs and benefits.
The main attraction of Fukushima prefecture is the beautiful landscape and great food (and many hot springs as elsewhere in Japan). It is a sad truth that it will be a long while before people think of food from Fukushima only in terms of how delicious and fresh it is. Right now, it is more about monitoring to ensure the safety of the produce grown here. Tourism in Fukushima is suffering. Actually, Japan's tourism industry as a whole seems to be suffering, as many foreigners avoid Japan altogether. Japan is open for business, as well as most parts of Fukushima.
As for the physical damage caused by the March 11th earthquake, in the city of Koriyama, there were more damage than I initially thought. One person died in a partially collapsed building, and about 1,190 houses/buildings have been deemed damaged beyond repair (according to the summary of the damage of the earthquake listed in the Asahi Shimbun on May 29, 2011, p. 28). The entire northeast region of Japan faces a long road to recovery. This is also the chance to build new, well planned out cities. For Fukushima, the challenge is complicated by actual radiation fallout as well as the prefecture's name association with the infamous nuclear power plant disaster. Fukushima prefecture is the entrance to the rest of the Northeast (Tohoku) Japan. The major arteries of Japan such as the railroad for Shinkansen (the bullet train) and Tohoku highway run through Koriyama-City and Fukushima-City (the capital, population 291,732). Fukushima's recovery is crucial for the well-being of Northeast Japan, as well as for Japan as a whole.

Is Justin Timberlake Working on New Music With Timbaland?!
UPDATE: Justin Timberlake's publicist tells Billboard that these reports are false, and there is no album in the works. JT is currently filming in Puerto Rico.
OMFG! It's about to get crazy up in this piece! Justin Timberlake is working on new music, people! Finally. After he all but abandoned his music career in favor of movies, JT is back doing what he does best. While he made us laugh with his rom coms and his 'SNL' hosting gigs, his absence from the music world has been excruciating.
U.S. producer Jim Beanz – his resume includes work with Britney Spears and Katy Perry — revealed the news to Digital Spy. He spilled the "beanz" that Timberlake is working with Timbaland. Beanz will join the Tims later this year. "When I get back to the States, I'm going to be helping out on 'Shock Value 3′ with Timbaland and the Justin Timberlake project," Beanz said.
Regarding "the Justin Timberlake project," Beanz said that the music is "still in the early stages, but they have a lot of tracks." He continued, While I've been over here in the U.K. they've been working, so by the time I get back, they'll have a whole load of ideas and I'm going to have to catch up!"
He finished by saying, "He has some crazy, crazy stuff."
JT getting' all cray cray? We love it. This is the best news we've gotten all month!
Jessica Biel's fiance has not dropped an album since 2006′s 'FutureSex/LoveSounds,' which was a critical and commercial juggernaut. He stopped making music at his highest point, which is how many artists like to end their careers, but it sounds like he is ready to dive back in. So many acts (Justin Bieber, Joe Jonas) have been trying to fill the void and to replace him as the smooth, R&B falsetto crooner, a position he willingly vacated.
Beanz also lauded Timberlake's talent, saying, "There are certain artists who can get inside with great charisma and energy and make great music every time. So it's not really about topping the last record, it's more about topping music that comes on the radio. Everything is so similar that it's about topping that and doing something different, and that's what they are going for. He's going to kill it."
That, we do not doubt.
Watch up, pop dudes. JT is coming to reclaim the throne.
Watch the Justin Timberlake 'What Goes Around…Comes Around'

Outdoor conductors running to buildings aren't necessarily service conductors. They may be feeders or branch circuit conductors originating in another building. They may provide power for area lighting, outdoor equipment, or a separate structure.
To determine if outdoor conductors are service conductors, identify where the electric utility service point is, and review the Art. 100 definitions for feeders, branch circuits, and service conductors. If they're service conductors, use Art. 230. Otherwise, use Art. 225, which covers outside feeders and branch circuits (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1. Article 225 contains the installation requirements for outside branch circuits and feeders run on or between buildings, structures, or poles.
Minimum size
You can use conductors 10 AWG or larger for overhead spans up to 50 ft. For spans more than 50 ft, use 8 AWG or larger (unless supported by a messenger wire) [225.6(A)(1)], as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. For spans over 50 ft, use 8 AWG or larger (unless supported by a messenger wire).
Unless supported by messenger wire, overhead conductors for festoon lighting must be at least 12 AWG. Spans longer than 40 ft must be supported by a messenger wire with strain insulators [225.6(B)].
Support and attachment
Do conductors pass over a roof? If so, use substantial structures to securely support them. If practicable, make the supports independent of the building [225.19, and 230.29]. Don't use trees or other vegetation to support overhead conductors [225.26].
The point of attachment for overhead conductors must be at least 10 ft above finished grade. Locate it so the whole span maintains the minimum conductor clearance required by 225.18 [225.16(A)].
Attach open conductors to fittings identified for use with conductors, or to noncombustible, nonabsorbent insulators securely attached to the structure [225.16(B) and 230.27]. This point of attachment must meet the minimum clearances specified in 225.18 and 225.19 — and in no case be less than 10 ft above finished grade.
If you use a mast for overhead conductor support, it must have adequate mechanical strength, braces, or guy wires to withstand the strain caused by the conductors. Only feeder or branch circuit conductors can be attached to the feeder and/or branch circuit mast [225.17], as shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Only feeder or branch circuit conductors can be attached to the feeder and/or branch circuit mast.
Clearances from grade
Overhead conductor spans must maintain these vertical clearances from grade [225.18]:
• 10 ft above finished grade, sidewalks, platforms, or projections from which they might be accessible to pedestrians for 120V, 120/208V, 120/240V, or 240V circuits [225.18(1)].
• 12 ft above residential property and driveways, and those commercial areas not subject to truck traffic for 120V, 120/208V, 120/240V, 240V, 277V, 277/480V, or 480V circuits [225.18(2)].
• 18 ft over public streets, alleys, roads, parking areas subject to truck traffic, driveways on other than residential property, and other areas traversed by vehicles (such as those used for cultivation, grazing, forestry, and orchards) [225.18(4)].
• 24½ ft over track rails of railroads [225.18(5)].
For overhead conductors above pools, outdoor spas, outdoor hot tubs, diving structures, observation stands, towers, or platforms, follow the clearance requirements in 680.8.
Clearances from buildings
Overhead conductors must maintain a vertical clearance of 8 ft above the surface of a roof. Maintain that for a distance of at least 3 ft from the edge of the roof [225.19(A)], except:
• If the roof is subject to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, follow 225.18 [225.19(A) Ex 1].
• When the slope of the roof meets or exceeds 4 in. of vertical rise for every 12 in. of horizontal run, you can reduce the overhead conductor clearances above the roof to 3 ft instead of 8 ft [225.19(A) Ex 2].
• When no more than 6 ft of conductor of 120/208V or 120/240V circuits passes over no more than 4 ft of roof, you can reduce the clearance above only the roof overhang to 18 in [225.19(A) Ex 3], as shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. For 120V/208V or 120V/240V circuits, conductor clearance can be 18 in., if no more than 6 ft of conductor pass over no more than 4 ft of roof.
• If the point of attachment is on the side of the building below the roof, the 3 ft clearance from the roof edge doesn't apply [225.19(A) Ex 4].
Overhead conductors must maintain a clearance of at least 3 ft from:
• Signs, chimneys, radio and television antennas, tanks, and other nonbuilding or nonbridge structures [225.19(B)].
• Windows that open, doors, porches, balconies, ladders, stairs, fire escapes, or similar locations [225.19(D)(1)].
Also, overhead conductors must:
• Maintain a vertical clearance of at least 10 ft above platforms, projections, or surfaces from which they might be reached. Maintain this vertical clearance for 3 ft measured horizontally from the platforms, projections, or surfaces from which they might be reached [225.19(D)(2)].
• Not be installed under an opening through which materials might pass [225.19(D)(3)].
• Not be installed where they will obstruct an entrance to building openings [225.19(D)(3)].
Raceways on exterior surfaces of structures must be arranged to drain and be suitable for use in wet locations [225.22]. Underground raceways (used or unused) entering structures must be sealed in accordance with 300.5(G) to prevent moisture from contacting energized live parts [225.27].
Number of supplies
If more than one building or other structure is on the same property, each building/structure must be served by no more than one feeder or single or multiwire branch circuit [225.30]. However, there are five exceptions to this. You can have additional supplies for:
1. Special conditions [225.30(A)]. These are:
• Fire pumps.
• Emergency systems.
• Legally required standby systems.
• Optional standby systems.
• Parallel power production systems.
• Systems designed for connection to multiple sources of supply for the purpose of enhanced reliability.
2. Special occupancies. Multiple-occupancy buildings where there's no available space for supply equipment accessible to all occupants, or a building/structure so large that two or more supplies are necessary — but only with special permission [225.30(B)].
3. Capacity requirements. Where the capacity requirements exceed 2,000A [225.30(C)].
4. Different characteristics. Different voltages, frequencies, or uses, such as control of outside lighting from multiple locations [225.30(D)].
5. Documented switching procedures. Additional supplies are permitted where documented safe switching procedures are established and maintained for disconnection [225.30(E)].
A disconnecting means is required for all conductors that enter a building or structure [225.31]. Install it at a readily accessible location (either outside or inside) nearest the point of entrance of the conductors [225.32]. There are four exceptions to this rule:
1) If documented safe switching procedures are established, maintained, and monitored by qualified persons, the disconnecting means can be located elsewhere on the premises [225.32 Ex 1].
2) The building or structure qualifies under the provisions of Art. 685 [225.32 Ex 2].
3) For towers or poles used as lighting standards, the disconnecting means is permitted to be located elsewhere on the premises [225.32 Ex 3].
4) For a pole or similar structure used only for the support of signs installed in accordance with Art. 600, the disconnecting means is permitted to be located elsewhere on the premises [225.32 Ex 4].
The building/structure disconnecting means can consist of no more than six switches or six circuit breakers in a single enclosure or separate enclosures for each supply grouped in one location as permitted by 225.30 [225.33].
The building/structure disconnecting means must be grouped in one location, and marked to indicate the loads they serve as required by110.22 [225.34(A)].
To minimize the possibility of accidental interruption of critical power systems, the disconnecting means for a fire pump or for standby power must be located remotely away from the normal power disconnect [225.34(B)].
In a multiple-occupancy building, each occupant must have access to the disconnecting means for their occupancy [225.35]. But if building management provides electrical maintenance under continuous supervision, management can make access available only to building management [225.35 Ex].
The building/structure disconnecting means must be comprised of a circuit breaker, molded case switch, general-use switch, or snap switch "suitable for use as service equipment [225.36]."
If more than one supply feeds a building/structure, a permanent plaque or directory must be installed at each feeder disconnect location denoting all other feeders or branch circuits supplying that structure and the area served by each [225.37].
The disconnecting means can consist of a manual switch or a power-operated switch or circuit breaker capable of being operated manually [225.38(A)]. You can use a shunt-trip pushbutton to open a power-operated circuit breaker. In this case, the breaker (not the pushbutton) is the disconnecting means. The disconnecting means for a building supplied by a feeder must plainly indicate whether it's in the open or closed position [225.38(D)].
A single disconnecting means for a building/structure must have an ampere rating at least equal to the calculated load as determined by Art. 220. If the disconnecting means consists of more than one switch or circuit breaker, the combined ratings must be no less than the calculated load as determined per Art. 220 [225.39].

Three's a charm
It's easy to overlook a detail in Art. 225. To avoid that, check your design to ensure you're meeting these three goals:
1. Maintain clearances. Outdoor conductors present dangers from possible contact that indoor conductors don't.
2. Support conductors. Outdoor conductors are subject to stresses that indoor conductors aren't.
3. Follow all rules for the installation of disconnects. This is essential in order to provide a convenient and safe means to disconnect sources of electric power in case of fire or electrocution hazards.
Methodically walk through your design, looking at all of the clearances for conformance to Art. 225. Then repeat with support requirements and disconnect rules.

Sabrina Moran broke the American Record for the 24-Hour run at a windy day at the North Coast 24 Hour Race in Cleavland, OH. Her total of 147.90 miles beat Sue Ellen Trapp's long-standing record of 145.288 miles, and also garnered her the USATF National Championship. Her entertaining and humble blog entry is worth a read.
Jon Olsen won the Men's division with 158.53 miles, just two weeks after representing the US at the 100k World Championships.

A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the HyperText Transfer Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period. Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 Author(s) : R. Fielding, J. Gettys, J. Mogul, H. Frystyk, T. Berners-Lee Filename : draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07.txt, .ps Pages : 153 Date : 08/15/1996 The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1". Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07.txt". Or "get draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07.ps". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: o Africa Address: ftp.is.co.za (188.8.131.52) o Europe Address: nic.nordu.net (126.96.36.199) Address: ftp.nis.garr.it (22.214.171.124) o Pacific Rim Address: munnari.oz.au (184.108.40.206) o US East Coast Address: ds.internic.net (184.108.40.206) o US West Coast Address: ftp.isi.edu (188.8.131.52) Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. For questions, please mail to email@example.com Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.

A Journalist's Perspective on 'Deep Throat'by Howard Hewitt • June 1, 2005 Share:
Reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward had a profound impact on journalism through their Watergate reporting for the Washington Post.
After the entire scandal and President Richard Nixon's resignation, they wrote a best seller, All the President's Men. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman turned the book into a popular movie.
But the impact on the media, politics and journalists has long been discussed.
Wabash College as a liberal arts institution does not teach journalism within its curriculum but does publish a student newspaper. Numerous College graduates have gone on into media careers.
Raymond Moscowitz, Peru, Ind., is a retired editor, publisher, author and newspaper executive who has spoken to student journalists at Wabash. He also is the father of David Moscowitz, who taught in the Speech Department this past school year.
"I believe Watergate illustrates how important it is for newspapers to carry out their role as watch dogs of government. Without Woodward and Bernstein's dogged determination – aided by Deep Throat – we might never have learned about one of the saddest chapters in American history," Moscowitz said.
"It is a chapter that taught us a vital lesson as a nation – that freedom and democracy must never be taken for granted."
Moscowitz, who is a member of the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame, fears the lessons learned during Watergate have faded from some memories.
"I'm not sure how much we learned," he lamented. "Unfortunately, the kind of reporting Woodward and Bernstein did then is seen too rarely now, thanks, in large part, to the worshiping of the bottom line.
"After Woodward and Bernstein's reporting was vindicated, credibility, which is and always will be journalism's core principle, spiked. We cannot place enough importance on that."

The threats are played down, Gambill said, because "it does not suit the internationals to have a serious crisis such as this at the time when they are sending out reports on how much improvement has been made in Kosovo."
[As an American and as an Orthodox Christian, few things have caused me greater pain than to witness what has occurred in Kosovo and in the former Yugoslavia generally, especially knowing their history as I do!!!Lord, have mercy!odox]I feel the same way. Even now I can't to see either Clinton or Madeline Albright on T.V. Too bad it will take years before the world will see the evilness of their deeds.OrthodocGod Bless the Serbian Orthodox Church and its people!
I echo the statements of all. This is no surprise. Kosovo will become a training camp, if it is already, for Muslim militants to attack European cities and elsewhere.Oh well, don't want to get too political here
Unfortunately, any altercation between the Albanian Muslims and the general Serbian polulation in Kosovo will only draw ire against the Serbs because the American people have been politically programmed to be against the Serbs even though the vast majority had nothing at all to do with the Milosovic reign of terror inside of Kosovo.
Erm..., what "Milosovic reign of terror" might that have been? We here in the Balkans seem to be ignorant of this particular bit of "history".

Coffee, computers and piston engines - could we imagine a world without them? These are intricate parts of every day life for most of us and the knowledge that led to them was either invented by or passed down through the ancient Muslim world. That's the theme of an exhibit in London's Science Museum and it's a far cry from the view held by some that the Muslim and Western World represent a "clash of civilizations", as VOA's Sonja Pace reports from the British capital.

BYOD: Employee-Led Innovation Goes Global
Millions consumers around the globe are buying smartphones, tablets, and other advanced mobile devices loaded with features and apps that can be used for business as well as for their own personal communication and entertainment needs. Many of these people have started taking these devices to work and integrating them into their daily workflow. This trend is often called "bring your own device," or BYOD.
Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) wanted to know how prevalent BYOD is, and how corporate IT departments are handling these new devices in terms of support, network access, and security. In the spring of 2012, we surveyed 600 IT decision makers in U.S. enterprises, and then expanded our study in the summer of 2012 to include 4,900 IT decision makers in midsize companies and enterprises – in a total of nine countries.
Our results show that BYOD's growth is a global phenomenon, with a large percentage of knowledge workers everywhere using their own devices for work. Eighty-nine percent of IT leaders from both enterprises and midsize companies support BYOD in some form, and 69 percent view this trend positively, with benefits including increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and lower costs. Employees want BYOD for choice of device, applications, and the ability to combine their personal and work lives.
While BYOD is growing worldwide, it definitely has a regional flavor: Asian and Latin American countries see – and encourage – extensive BYOD, while Europe is more cautious and restrictive. Higher current adoption and greater growth in non-European countries will quickly make BYOD the predominant approach in these regions. Of special note is the high percentage of IT decision makers who say BYOD increases will be "significant": 35 percent in India, where more than half of smartphones and laptops are already employee-owned; and 29 percent in Brazil, where more than 40 percent of major mobile devices are employee-owned.
However, BYOD also brings new challenges in security and IT support. Cisco IBSG believes companies must respond proactively with improved mobile policies.
IT leaders are beginning to view desktop virtualization as a way to help solve support challenges by delivering a "virtual desktop" comprised of applications and data that employees can access regardless of the device they use. The United States and India are far ahead in desktop virtualization; IT leaders elsewhere are aware of it, but implementation is lagging.
The transformative value of BYOD rests in giving employees the freedom to innovate how they work. If allowed to use the devices, applications, and cloud services they prefer, and to choose the time and location for work, employees have the potential to drive the next wave of corporate efficiency and productivity. By fostering BYOD with proper management and a BYOD-ready governance model and network, companies can move from merely reacting to employee demand to harnessing a latent — and potent — source of value.

Justin Bieber Wants To Break Up With Selena Gomez & Date Other Girls
Justin is feeling 'antsy' in his relationship with Selena and feels that he could get any girl he wants, says a new report. Do you think their relationship is on the rocks?
Us Weekly is reporting that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship is going through a rough patch. He is losing patience with Selena after she broke plans to go to Mexico with Justin, and their hectic schedules in general are a constant source of tension.
"He feels he should be tapping all the girls who come around," the Justin source spilled. "He's in his prime and can get any girl he wants. He has definitely thought about being free."
In mid-May, Justin tried to break up with Selena. "She freaked out. He apologized and got back together with her."
"They fight and then make up all time," the source said. "They can both be dramatic."
Take comfort in the fact that, at least for now, the two are trying to make it work!
"Justin is still crazy about her and knows how lucky he is to have her. Everything is not always perfect, but for now they are happy."
