EcoFlight provided the aerial perspective for some of the photos in this Smithsonian story:
From its source high in the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River channels water south nearly 1,500 miles, over falls, through deserts and canyons, to the lush wetlands of a vast delta in Mexico and into the Gulf of California.
That is, it did so for six million years.
Then, beginning in the 1920s, Western states began divvying up the Colorado's water, building dams and diverting the flow hundreds of miles, to Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and other fast-growing cities. The river now serves 30 million people in seven U.S. states and Mexico, with 70 percent or more of its water siphoned off to irrigate 3.5 million acres of cropland.
The damming and diverting of the Colorado, the nation's seventh-longest river, may be seen by some as a triumph of engineering and by others as a crime against nature, but there are ominous new twists. The river has been running especially low for the past decade, as drought has gripped the Southwest. It still tumbles through the Grand Canyon, much to the delight of rafters and other visitors. And boaters still roar across Nevada and Arizona's Lake Mead, 110 miles long and formed by the Hoover Dam. But at the lake's edge they can see lines in the rock walls, distinct as bathtub rings, showing the water level far lower than it once was—some 130 feet lower, as it happens, since 2000. Water resource officials say some of the reservoirs fed by the river will never be full again.
Climate change will likely decrease the river's flow by 5 to 20 percent in the next 40 years, says geoscientist Brad Udall, director of the University of Colorado Western Water Assessment. Less precipitation in the Rocky Mountains will yield less water to begin with. Droughts will last longer. Higher overall air temperatures will mean more water lost to evaporation. "You're going to see earlier runoff and lower flows later in the year," so water will be more scarce during the growing season, says Udall.
Other regions—the Mediterranean, southern Africa, parts of South America and Asia—also face fresh-water shortages, perhaps outright crises. In the Andes Mountains of South America, glaciers are melting so quickly that millions of people in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador are expected to lose a major source of fresh water by 2020. In southwestern Australia, which is in the midst of its worst drought in 750 years, fresh water is so scarce the city of Perth is building plants to remove the salt from seawater. More than one billion people around the world now live in water-stressed regions, according to the World Health Organization, a number that is expected to double by 2050, when an estimated nine billion people will inhabit the planet.
"There's not enough fresh water to handle nine billion people at current consumption levels," says Patricia Mulroy, a board member of the Colorado-based Water Research Foundation, which promotes the development of safe, affordable drinking water worldwide. People need a "fundamental, cultural attitude change about water supply in the Southwest," she adds. "It's not abundant, it's not reliable, it's not going to always be there."
Mulroy is also general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which serves two million people in greater Las Vegas. The city is one of the largest in the Colorado River basin, but its share of the river is relatively small; when officials allocated the Colorado's water to different states in 1922, no one expected so many people to be living in the Nevada desert. So Nevadans have gotten used to coping with limitations. They can't water their yards or wash their cars whenever they like; communities follow strict watering schedules. The water authority pays homeowners to replace water-gulping lawns with rocks and drought-tolerant plants. Golf courses adhere to water restrictions. Almost all wastewater is reused or returned to the Colorado River.

Andy Rogers
Calgary Alberta
Eligible for draft:
225 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
One of the accolades Rogers has received in 2003-04 was an invitation to attend the 2004 Top Prospects Game. In the event's skills competition, recorded the hardest shot, registering a blistering slapshot clocked at 96.8 mph.
The 6'5 rearguard was one of few who were invited to the 2003 Canadian National Under-18 Development and Selection Camp where he was selected to skate on Canada's roster for the U18 Junior World Cup, held in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This event wasn't Rogers' only taste of international experience, as he was a member of the silver medal winning Canadian National Under-18 Team in 2004.
2008-09: Traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the deal that sent Richard Petiot to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Read Hockey's Future's November 2005 interview with Rogers here.
Talent Analysis
Finding the combined size and skating ability that Andy Rogers possesses is rare, especially in defensemen. Unlike teammate Jeff Schultz, however, Rogers possesses very limited offensive potential, something the Calgary native knows he'll need to improve in order to take his game to the next level.
"I've never been considered a super-offensive player," remarked Rogers in a February 2004 interview with Hockey's Future. "So things like that can definitely be worked on."
The offensive side of the puck is definitely Rogers weakness, although signs of improvement began to show near the end of the season, which resulted in Andy seeing more time on the power play unit.
One should never confuse Rogers with a powerplay specialist, though. Rogers puck handling skills are average at best, and his ability to find his teammates in the offensive end is almost non-existent, highlighted by his three assists in 64 games played for the Hitmen.
Rogers' forte is his play in the defensive end. A very physical defender, Rogers is able to intimidate a lot of opposing forwards with punishing checks, both against the boards and in open ice. Very regularly does Rogers stand up opposing forwards and the blueline, and in the rare occasion he is caught out of position or beat, Rogers has enough speed to make up for his mental lapse, which in itself is rare in the defensive end.
"(My biggest asset is) my physical size. I mean, I use that and my skating," explained Rogers. "I think I move pretty well for a big guy, so I try to use those to my advantage."
Many scouts will agree with Rogers. His combination of defensive play, physical presence, and sheer skating ability make him an intriguing prospect to say the least. Many teams may look over his offensive shortcomings, simply because of his smooth stride and physical stature.
Finding the combined size and skating ability that Rogers possesses is rare, especially in a defensemen. But because of his limited offensive upside, may find himself further down a club's depth chart.

Developers responsible for Apple Inc.'s Safari browser engine and Opera Software's flagship browser raced to announce this week that in-development versions passed the new Acid3 Web test with flying colors.
A Mozilla executive, while acknowledging that the company's browser is not as compliant with Acid3 as its rivals, called the test "a puzzle game" and said Mozilla would press ahead with work on Firefox 3 rather than devote resources to improving its Acid3 score.
Acid3, which was finalized earlier this month by the Web Standards Project, checks how closely a browser follows certain standards, particularly specifications for Web 2.0 applications, as well as standards related to the DOM (Document Object Model), CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets) and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
On Wednesday Opera was the first to announce that an unreleased version of its browser had received a score of 100 -- out of a possible 100 -- on the Acid3 test. "Today we reached a 100 per cent pass rate for the first time!" said Lars Erik Bolstad, who heads the core technology group at Opera, in a post to a company-supported blog. "There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed, but we hope to have those sorted out shortly."
Opera has not issued a public version of the development edition that passed Acid3, although Bolstad said one would be made available on the Opera Labs site "within the next week or so."
WebKit meanwhile, matched Opera Wednesday, then upped the ante. Late Wednesday, developers working on WebKit, the open-source project that provides the core engine for Apple's Safari browser, not only claimed that their newest build scored 100 out of 100 on Acid3, but released Mac OS X and Windows versions so users could see for themselves.
"WebKit has become the first publicly available rendering engine to achieve 100/100 on Acid3," said Maciej Stachowiak, a Polish developer on the WebKit team, in a post to the group's blog. In an update, Stachowiak claimed that additional tweaks had been made to the engine. "We believe we have a pixel-perfect match for the reference rendering," he said in the update.
The newest Mac OS X and Windows builds can be downloaded from the WebKit site. ( Computerworld downloaded the Mac OS X build and confirmed that it scored 100 out of a possible 100 on Acid3.)
Mozilla's Mike Shaver, the company's chief evangelist, however, essentially said Firefox is taking a pass on Acid3 for the moment. "We're almost at the end of the development cycle [for Firefox 3], and I don't want to see people pressuring us into making changes simply for Acid3, or us looking for shortcuts to get a better score," said Shaver in an interview.
In a posting to his blog earlier in the day, Shaver was more specific. "We don't want to be rushing fixes in, or rushing out a release, only to find that we've broken important sites or regressed previous standards support, or worse, introduced a security problem," he said. Firefox 3, currently in beta, will likely ship in final form by the end of June, according to Mozilla.
Shaver also criticized the new standards test. "Acid 3, unlike its predecessors, is not about establishing a baseline of useful Web capabilities," he said in the blog. "It's quite explicitly about making browser developers jump. I don't think it's worthless, but I think it could have been a lot more."
In a telephone conversation, he elaborated. "The bar was set high by Acid2, which I thought tested for the things that developers were really clamoring to use on the Web. "I wish Acid3 was more pragmatic."
Just because it doesn't pass Acid3 at the moment -- Computerworld 's test of Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 on Mac OS X yielded a score of 68 out of 100 -- doesn't mean it won't at some point, Shaver added. "Standards do matter. In the long term, we want to have no standards bugs. But does Acid3 help us get there? I think it helps, but it's also sort of a distraction."
And when Firefox 3.0 ships, said Shaver, it will be "within a point or two" of any other production browser. "There's a difference between what you can do in development and what you do when you ship," he said.

In general, no. See the archive editing policy for details.
No. W3C is not a spammer. See our Webmaster FAQ for more information.
No; see more about why W3C does not do subject tagging in its lists.
We expect all who use our mailing lists to respect our Positive Work Environment framework that includes a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct for the W3C Community to follow.
We may remove addresses from our lists if they generate unwanted network traffic, such as email bounces or autoreplies to members of our lists.
In the past we have had problems with people sending mail to one of our archived mailing lists and then being surprised to learn that their message ended up in a public archive.
We have hundreds of archived lists and although we try to be clear about the purpose of a list whenever we refer to it, we can not control how others refer to our lists. Therefore there is always the possibility that someone will send a message to our lists without knowing it will be archived on our Web site.
This system takes care of that problem by requiring explicit approval from each poster before allowing their message to be distributed to the list. For the vast majority of posters who do not mind having their messages available in our Web archives, there is an option to approve any future messages they may send to W3C mailing lists as well.
A nice side effect of this system is that it helps to reduce spam on our lists, since spammers generally do not read the replies they receive (and many or most of the return addresses they use are bogus anyway.)
If you received a notification message from us but did not send us a message, someone else may have forged a message with your email address as the sender. You can find out where the message originated by looking at the Received: headers of the message. (note that the only such header that can be trusted to be accurate is the one that shows when/where it entered our email systems.)
If you are interested in preventing email forgeries claiming to be from your site, you may want to consider publishing SPF records for your domain(s). W3C's mail servers automatically reject forgeries for domains that have published SPF records.
If you are familiar with our mailing list system, you may wonder how this archive approval system interacts with the existing "accept lists", which are the lists of email addresses that are allowed to post to each list.
There is no interaction between these two mechanisms. The people who were on the accept lists before this system was deployed have never explicitly given us permission to archive their messages on our site, so they will need to go through this archive approval step at least once along with everyone else.
We do not honor the
X-No-Archive message header, nor do we
plan to. All messages distributed to W3C's mailing lists are archived on
our site; this is a requirement of participation on our lists.
The intent of this system is to notify people that if they participate in our lists their messages are archived, not to allow them to participate without archiving.
Please send any feedback on this system to archive-approval-comments.

In terms of stealth, no one comes close to Sam Fisher. He's quiet; tip-toeing through the most dangerous of locations. He's deadly; utilising an array of hi-tech silenced weaponry. He's invisible; hugging the shadows until he becomes one of them. Just be thankful he's on our side in the war against terrorism.
This time around, the top secret, black ops organisation Echelon sends Sam on a one-man mission to take out an Indonesian terrorist network. Utilising a dazzling array of athletic stealth moves such as the split jump, the latest counter-espionage technology and of course the shadows themselves, Sam must bring the terrorists down or we're all in danger.
This third-person, action game from Ubisoft brings all the great elements of the original Splinter Cell and raises the stakes considerably. The graphics have been completely overhauled so that the world of Tom Clancy has never looked so realistic. Sam looks, moves and reacts like a real person and the world around him - glass, fabric, water - all react as they would in the real world.
The all-important lighting has been updated given an unprecedented level of lighting realism, with swinging light sources, realtime shadows and the inky darkness that Sam loves so much.
For the first time, you can experience all the tension and all the action of Splinter Cell online. In a unique take on multiplayer gaming up to four players (two teams of two) battle it out as either Fisher-like Spies or deadly Mercenary defenders.
Like Sam, the Spies are agile and stealthy. Utilise the shadows, crawl spaces and espionage technology to access the Viral containers (your goal) while keeping tabs on the lethal Merc security.
As the Mercs, you are thrust into a first-person view. You're not as agile as the spies and can't access the crawl spaces they can, but you have technology on your side. Every level is riddled with laser sensors and cameras that if tripped, tip you off to the spies' location. Use your motion tracking headset, electromagnetic view (see if the spy has his night-goggles on) or plain old torch to root out the sneaky spies and waste them with your powerful sub-machine gun.
This is the next evolution of online multiplayer gaming and a stunning single-player game to boot. Step from the shadows and enter the Splinter Cell.

Helping Young Men Achieve Their Potential
America's young men of color, particularly those from economically-distressed urban communities, face unique challenges. Many lack access to adequate educational opportunities and support systems that are necessary to succeed in today's competitive economy. By 2018, six in 10 jobs will require at least a high school degree, but Black and Latino students in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles graduate from high school at rates well below those of their non-minority peers.
Dalila Wilson-Scott, President of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, recently spoke with Dr. Robert Ross about the specific challenges facing young men of color and a few of the efforts underway to help them graduate from high school ready to succeed in college and beyond. Dr. Ross is the President and CEO of The California Endowment, a private health foundation committed to improving the health of underserved and low-income Californians.
Q: What kinds of challenges do young men of color face in America today?
Dr. Ross: There are number of challenges that young men of color, particularly Black and Latino males, are confronted by today. In particular, these young men face difficulties at school – including disproportionately high high-school dropout, suspension and expulsion rates. Many young men of color lack job opportunities and exposure to positive male role models. Data and research show many young men of color, particularly from urban communities, are dealing with a daunting sense of hopelessness.
These challenges manifest in a number of ways – the primary consequence being lower income and poverty. Persistent poverty erodes the possibility of future success for young men and spreads throughout their community a constant cycle of decline.
Q: Are there opportunities to help solve these challenges for young men of color?
Dr. Ross: The promising news is that we can disrupt this pathway to hopelessness by improving access to quality education and training and by introducing a caring adult in the right setting and at the right time.
The research conducted to date on this issue is very clear about critical opportunities for intervention for these young men. We must encourage our kids to stay in school for as long as possible. We must encourage our teenagers not only to apply and get accepted into a four-year college -- but to remain in their college of choice for the full four years and graduate. These are vital opportunities where the data shows that if we drop the ball with these young men at any one of these points, chances are we're going to lose them.
I know this from personal experience. I grew up in the South Bronx, in a New York City housing project, and so I understand what it's like to try and rise up from an underprivileged background and have an opportunity to achieve in school and in life.
Q: What kinds of programs are really working in tackling this challenge?
Dr. Ross: It is critically important for to have an adult role model who can help steer young people in the right direction and help them make better decisions. That can be a coach, teacher, mentor – anyone who sets the right example and demonstrates to a young person that they aren't alone, that they will have support over the long-term.
The Fellowship Initiative, launched by JPMorgan Chase in 2010, is a great example. This program utilizes a combination of coaching, academic support and leadership development ignited by a mentorship component that matches participating Fellows to professionals. The Fellowship Initiative helps young men of color complete high school, get into, and ultimately succeed in college. In essence, The Fellowship Initiative says, "Okay, wait a minute, we're going step in to help supplement the resources and experiences available to you beyond what your peers normally receive from their schools and communities." The Fellows' families are also engaged. They are educated about the college application process and experience to increase support for the Fellows' college aspirations. Through exposure to meaningful opportunity in corporate America and access to tutors, mentors and role models, Fellows are provided with a sense of real possibility to accomplish their academic and life goals. The cohort model also provides youth with a positive peer support network.
Q: Is this just a problem for our communities of color? Why is this an issue the nation should care about?
Dr. Ross: First of all, we live in a global, competitive economy and we simply can't afford to lose human capital; our young people are critical to our nation's present and our nation's future. The unique perspectives and diversity of experiences these students bring to our economy and corporate America is simply invaluable. Secondly, helping impoverished communities rise restores faith in the American promise. This is a country that has always said that if you work hard, keep your nose clean, pay your dues and go to school, then there's an opportunity for you.
Programs like The Fellowship Initiative remind us of what's so great about this country. America was built on grit, determination and people who have made it working against the odds. The young men of The Fellowship Initiative represent that. These are young men who have shown a remarkable sense of purpose--demonstrating that a true sense of grit and determination can result in overcoming the odds.
The California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation with a mission to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. launched The Fellowship Initiative (TFI) in New York City in 2010. The initiative, which was recently expanded to Chicago and Los Angeles, enrolls young men of color in a comprehensive, hands-on enrichment program that includes academic, social and emotional support to help them achieve personal and professional success.

Jiang Jingting, a fifth-grader in green sneakers, shows little potential for Olympic glory. In China's official mind-set of success, there's no reason for her to play sports.
Gao Hong begs to differ.
The goalie for China's 2004 silver-medal soccer team in Sydney, she learned in her 19-year career that athletics aren't just about winning medals and national pride. They also help teach teamwork, discipline, and confidence. And (gasp) sports can be fun.
That is a radical concept in China, where physical-education class became a school requirement only in 1992 – and is still not always offered.
But Ms. Gao now has a growing legion of allies, parents, who also see sports as a valuable tool for fitness and for teaching important life skills.
In a year, the retired sports star and her five-person staff have visited more than 400 schools and taught hundreds of coaches their unorthodox ideas.
She's not promoting soccer or any one sport, but PE games that cultivate teamwork and fun in elementary schools, using a curriculum designed by Right to Play (RTP), an international organization.
"Gao has been very instrumental in starting up" the program, says Wei Wei, RTP China's national director. "Given who she is, the type of recognition she gets, she can do that very easily…. She also has the skill [and] the passion."
While Gao's celebrity has won her many an official's support, the state pays little attention to this kind of curriculum.
The national sports bureau, called the General Sports Administration (GSA), pours its resources into training top talent for international competition. Official policy since 1984 has been to encourage mass sports, too – through colleges and clubs. But progress has been slow, says Susan Brownell, a visiting professor at Beijing Sports University.
Schools, which are built around entrance exams, budget little for PE. The government requires them to spend an hour a day on physical fitness and sportsmanship. But the reality is often one PE teacher trying to corral 50 students into uninspiring activities a few times a week.
Parents who want to enroll their kids in sports are turning to private clubs and coaches, Professor Brownell says.
They're part of a rising chorus who say China focuses too much on elite competition at the expense of PE and youth sports.
Official data show that indicators of children's health have fallen even as PE requirements have increased, says Guoli Liang, an expert on PE in China at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.
Sports also teach children "how to work together, how to respect each other, how to respect differences, how to win and lose," he adds. "So if they don't participate in those, they won't know how to deal with that."
The games Gao teaches help a lot, says Gao Jianguo, Jingting's PE coach. He and other teachers at Xiao Wei elementary school learned the RTP curriculum almost two years ago.
Children here used to fight a lot, but after just a few games, they virtually stopped, Mr. Gao says.
"I think [Gao Hong's] bringing these games to China is very good," he says. "China has never had games like these, [but] they can really change a kid."
Gao became a believer in the real-life value of sports over the course of her career.
Like her outlook on sports, her trajectory didn't hew to Chinese norms. Instead of entering the state system from childhood until retirement, Gao didn't join until she was 18, in 1984. After playing on provincial teams for nine years, she joined a league in Japan.
In 1995, she returned to China to start for the national team. Two Olympic silvers and a World Cup final later, Gao moved to the US in 2001, one of a few Chinese players recruited for the new Women's United Soccer Association.
Still, the star player had low points. The biggest humiliation of her career became an unforgettable moment in women's soccer.
Remember the 1999 World Cup finals, when America's ecstatic Brandi Chastain tore off her shirt after scoring the winning penalty kick? Gao was the goalie who failed to block the ball.
Injuries hampered her first two WUSA seasons before the league fizzled in the third. Gao retired in 2003.
Those dramatic years "made me realize the value of sports," Gao says. She learned to handle big ups and downs, be part of a team, and work hard. She realized soccer could have greater purpose than winning, such as being a role model for youths.
"Gao was one of the most amazing female athletes, but she was also amazing personalitywise," her former WUSA coach, Patrick Farmer, enthuses. "She had a true sportsman's attitude" and "a broader view" than other players.
"If she'd been over here [in the US], she'd be in the top five heroes" of women's soccer, he adds.
But Gao's task now is to win over Chinese authorities. With a government that's tepid about PE and suspicious of international NGOs, making such friends is the crux of her strategy, Gao says.
RTP relies on the sports celebrity to make inroads it couldn't. Like most NGOs, RTP isn't authorized to work in China. Yet Gao started its program here and wrangled a three-room office on the grounds of the GSA. Her dream is to get the games into the national PE curriculum.
"We're first international NGO to work with the [GSA] in the history of the [GSA]," she says.
"A lot of people are very easily convinced when she's around," says Mr. Wei, of RTP.

Games by Gao
Gao Hong values the games that she and her trainers teach so much that she's invented her own.
In her favorite, which she sketches excitedly with circles and arrows, kids break into two groups and try to get the ball to their goals on opposite ends of the field by passing it among teammates.
But for the first five minutes, nobody's allowed to talk. That forces them to communicate creatively, Ms. Gao explains, clapping and waving her arms to demonstrate.
For the next five minutes, both teams can say whatever they want. Usually this involves spewing all the frustrations pent up from the first phase.
In the last five minutes, they can keep talking – but say only positive things.
Then we discuss, Gao concludes with a flourish. How did each phase feel, and how can they communicate better in real life?
Kids learn a lot from this game, she says. PE teachers do, too. Many begin sharing about their marriages and personal lives.
The games are just as useful for them as for the kids, she laughs.

Peak Lists
Log In
Show List Using Metric Units
Unique Peaks and Peak Pairs for Paul Burrows
Most significant unique peak pairs by key metrics, and all uniquely ascended peaks
Highest Unique Pair of Peaks Climbed
There are no unique peak pairs for this metric.
Most Prominent Unique Pair of Peaks Climbed
There are no unique peak pairs for this metric.
Most Isolated Unique Pair of Peaks Climbed
There are no unique peak pairs for this metric.
All Peaks Climbed only by Paul Burrows
There are no unique peaks for this climber.
The first three peak pairs on this page show the superlative unique pairs for three key metrics: Elevation, Prominence, and Isolation.
Most hikers or climbers that log their ascents on Peakbagger.com have a number of unique peak pairs--a set of two successfully climbed peaks such that no other registed site user has also climbed both.
Since virtually no one can claim to have made the only ascent ever of a peak, these peak pairs are a way to calim some uniqueness--being able to say "I am the only one to ever climb both Peak A and Peak B".
Many of a hiker's unique peak pairs will be relatively low, minor, or otherwise insingnificant peaks, and therefore climbing both may not be a particularly impressive achievement.
So the pairs above represent the most significant of all a climber's unique pairs--the most impressive unique pairs to use as a badge of honor.
Mathematically, the pairs listed above maximize the value of the secondary peak in the pair--for example, showing the pair that has the highest elevation for the pair's second-highest peak. Put another way, it shows the two highest-value peaks that only this climber has climbed.
The final listing shows the peaks (if any) where the hiker/climber is the only ascender with logged ascents.
Of course, all these listings are purely based on the logged climbs in the Peakbagger.com database, so they should not be taken as completely accurate.

Full bellies and full hearts. It's what great Thanksgivings are made of. This year, add a special touch to your holiday table with harvest-inspired centerpieces that bring the whole family together.
We asked Nancy Clifton, program specialist at the Chicago Botanic Garden, to share some easy, crafty ideas that would fit a variety of party styles. Here are three centerpieces you can create (and mix-and-match) to impress your guests.
A Festive Friendsgiving
Friends are family you choose, as the saying goes. For these cozy gatherings, pick your own flowers, too. Here's how you can make Thanksgiving-themed floral centerpieces like a pro:
Pick flowers in autumn colors. Buy a few bunches of flowers in different fall colors and textures at your local grocery store. Nancy chose red roses, yellow mums, red-yellow mums, and hypericum berries to give the arrangements some variety.
Paint Thanksgiving mason jars. If you want to up your Thanksgiving game, paint your vases in holiday colors such as brown, orange, and ivory. Nancy used craft paint on mason jars, and sanded the lettering on the jars to give them a vintage look.
Save time by measuring flowers. Nancy's time-saving hack is to trim one flower with pruners and remove foliage at the bottom of the stem. Place that flower in the mason jar vase. If you're happy with the height, remove the flower and use it as a measuring tool to trim the rest of your flowers. Make sure you trim the flowers low enough so you can see your friends' faces!
Impress-the-in-laws Pumpkin Planters
If you've got some serious entertaining to do (or at least want more excuses to use your hot-glue gun), wow your crowd with pumpkin succulent centerpieces. The best part? You can repurpose and eat parts of them when you're done.
See the demo video on YouTube here.
Gather the basic tools and ingredients. Grab a hot-glue gun, reindeer moss, and floral picks from the craft store. At your local grocery store, find small- and medium-sized pumpkins (you will want several), a succulent container, bunches of kale, and cabbages.
Assemble the planters. Cut the ends off of your succulents so they have a flat base, and set them aside. Adhere moss to the top of your medium-sized pumpkins with your hot-glue gun. Once the glue is dried, add the succulents on top of the moss, and adhere with hot glue or floral picks.
Arrange your centerpiece. When the pumpkins are dried, place them in the center of a large decorative tray. Add smaller pumpkins, bunches of kale, and cabbages to tray, arranging them in a bountiful display. You can even paint the stems of your small pumpkins with glitter-paint to give them extra-fancy glitz.
Give Thanks Table Runner
One of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions is sharing what we're grateful for. A fun way to involve the whole family in this tradition is to have everyone write their "thanks"on a centerpiece mural.
Buy a roll of Kraft paper. Think of this as your table runner. You may want to lay this on top of a tablecloth to protect your table from stray doodles.
Decorate with thanks. Place markers around the table for guests to write their thanks on the runner.
Add an intimate glow. Nancy added pumpkin planters, candles, and string lights to the centerpiece to bring a warm, enchanting feeling to your party.
We hope you enjoy creating these centerpieces, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Palestinian journalist Muhammad al-Qiq, who has been on hunger strike for 63 days, is near death. He has been taken to the HaEmek Hospital in Afula last month and could die at any moment, according to attorneys.
Ashraf Abu Sneina, a lawyer with the Palestinian Authority Committee for Prisoner's Affairs, said al-Qiq lost conscience after more than two months without food, and is now unable to speak, exhibiting "symptoms that could lead to his death", Ma'an News reported.
The 33-year-old journalist from the West Bank town of Dura started a hunger strike on November 24 to protest against his detention and internment without trial or charge. Held in administrative detention, evidence against al-Qiq has been kept secret by Israeli authorities.
Israel's controversial administrative detention law allows the state to hold suspects without charge for six months, a period which can be renewed indefinitely. The military judge at the Ofer Military Court said al-Qiq is accused of "incitement," "working with media associated with Hamas" and also of being a "threat to security." The Shin Bet, Israel's intelligence service, said al-Qiq was arrested for "terror activities" as a collaborator with Hamas.
Amnesty International said on Friday that Israeli authorities "must immediately cease all non-consensual medical treatment and other punitive measures against Palestinian journalist Muhammed al-Qiq."
An investigation carried out by the human rights group revealed the journalist had been mistreated and tortured, adding that Israel is in violation of international law.
The medical rights group Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) called on doctors to stop "forced treatment" and respect international human rights law.
The World Medical Association forbids pressuring patients to end hunger strikes and forced medical treatment. Seventy-one British doctors called on the World Medical Association to expel Israel from the body, accusing Israeli doctors of carrying out "medical torture" on Palestinians. ´

Goodbye, "Downton Abbey." Hello, Downton Yankees.
U.S. fans of the hit British TV series, whose latest season ended last night, may think they are looking through a window at a lost world of privilege and poverty, aristocrats and servants, "upstairs" and "down."
Also see: 10 ways 'Downton Abbey' servants had it better than you
But they should think again. A research paper to be presented this week at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a leading think tank, will confirm that the U.S. today has become as unequal as the England of the Earl of Grantham, Lady Mary, Daisy the kitchen maid and Carson the butler a hundred years ago.
The richest take home a higher share of national income in America today than did the aristocrats and superrich of 1920s England. The poor today take home a smaller share than the butlers, chauffeurs and other working folk did back then.
Peter Lindert, economics professor at the University of California in Davis, and one of the world's leading experts in measuring income inequality, will be presenting research at the NBER this week, and he shared his thoughts with me by email. "Britain's Downton Abbey economy of the 1920s," Lindert says, was slightly "less unequal than…the U.S. today" (emphasis added).
For example, he points to the so-called GINI Coefficient, the standard measure of economic inequality used by researchers and organizations around the world, from the Census Bureau to the World Bank. U.S. readings today are about as high as those of 1920s England, says Lindert. They may even be higher.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers commented last week that America may be heading toward a "Downton Abbey" society. He is way behind the news. We're already there.
Incidentally, other research has found that U.S. readings of the GINI coefficient are higher than those of Czarist Russia as well.
People can always raise questions about individual bits of data from history, so I decided to do a bit more digging.
According to historical data on income inequality tracked by the Paris School of Economics, the richest Americans take home a much higher share of our national income than did the Earl of Grantham and his pals. The richest 0.01% of Americans take home 4% — compared with 3% in 1920s England.
(The richest 0.1% earn 9% of the national income in America today—the same percentage earned by the richest 0.1% in 1920 England.)
Meanwhile the bottom 90% of Americans—i.e., most people—receive just 50% of the national income in aggregate, according to the Paris data. In the England of Downton Abbey they earned 60%.
People can draw their own conclusions—just read the inevitable comments section below this article—but it is at least important that we deal with accurate perceptions.
We can watch period dramas all we like. But we have a huge servant class of our own in this country. According to a study by the Congressional Research Service in 2012, the poorest 50% of Americans own, in aggregate, just 1% of the national wealth.
Half of our country are just like Daisy the kitchen maid or Thomas the scheming footman a hundred years ago. They basically have nothing.

PSC Recognizes Students for Computation in Science Projects
PSC Recognizes Fox Chapel Students for Computation in Science Projects
Projects Use Latest Technology to Help Disabled, Visually Impaired People
Wednesday, May 28, 2014
Science projects by two students from Fox Chapel Area Senior High School, Pittsburgh, have earned special recognition from Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) for excellence in computer programming.
Sonia Appasamy designed a computerized tool that helps people with visual impairment by automatically converting a camera feed or a photographic image to a simplified, more cartoon-like image with sharper boundaries and contrasts. Suvir Mirchandani created a web browsing system that scans eye movement and brain waves to allow people who do not have use of their arms to surf the Internet.

Charlie Gilmour, the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, made news that had nothing to do with his father's band or music.
The Cambridge University student apologized for climbing on top of Britain's Centograph, a revered war memorial, during a demonstration Thursday against increasing tuition costs, The Associated Press reported. He said that he did not know that what he climbed on was the monument.
"I feel nothing but shame," said Gilmour, 21. "My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment."
U.S. & World
According to the AP, Gilmour was one of thousands of young people whose demonstrations in London resulted in attacks against police and vandalism
A car containing Prince Charles and his wife Camilla was attacked by some of the protesters.
Charlie's mother, novelist Polly Samson, had previously collaborated with Pink Floyd's Division Bell record and her husband's solo album as a songwriter. His father David Gilmour recently oversaw a new compilation album by late Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett.

World of hurt: Photographers wrench the gut
"If it bleeds, it leads" is the blunt if gruesome guiding principle of newsrooms everywhere. So it's not shocking many of the winning images in the "World Press Photo 11" exhibit, premiering in North American at Look3, depict violence and death. But that's no excuse not to see the photographs, which represent the best photojournalism from around the globe.
Staged in the McGuffey Art Center's upstairs and downstairs hall galleries, the exhibit encompasses images culled from 108,059 submissions by 5,691 photojournalists from 129 countries, selected both for their aesthetic and narrative strength.
Some of the images are unbearably sad, such as French photographer Olivier Laban-Mattel's shot of a white uniformed morgue worker tossing a child's corpse— captured in midair like a flung doll— onto a pile of dead bodies following the Haitian earthquake. Others are surprisingly lyrical, like American Benjamin Lowy's abstract pictures of oil-contaminated waters off the Louisiana coast following the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
The show opens with the World Press Photo of the Year, South African photographer Jodi Bieber's "Bibi Aisha," which many will recognize as a Time magazine cover. Recalling Steve McCurry's iconic portrait of an Afghani girl, Bieber's photograph also depicts a young Afghani woman in three-quarter view, eyes looking directly into the lens. But in Bieber's image, a hole gapes at the center of the woman's face— the Taliban having chopped off her nose and ears as punishment for fleeing her abusive husband. Although disturbing, the photograph is stunning, with the pink scar tissue and mauve color of the woman's lips subtly echoing the striped purpled shawl draped over her head.
Although the squeamish should steer clear of the north end of McGuffey's upstairs hall gallery (trust me), the middle and south end offer lighter fare for the emotionally drained, showcasing World Press Photo's winners in the categories of Nature, Sports, and Arts and Entertainment. Which isn't to say there isn't gore— literally in the case of Gustavo Cuevas's shot of a matador impaled on the horn of a bull, as his blue and red cape swirls in the center of the frame. But there are also easier images, like Amit Madheshiya's charming portraits of spectators viewing traveling cinema shows in India.
Startling and meaningful, the "World Press Photo 11" exhibit highlights the power of photography to inform and effect change. See the photos. Then have a stiff drink.
Presented by Look3: Festival of the Photograph, the "World Press Photo '11" exhibit makes its North American premiere at the McGuffey Art Center through June 26.

20,000 metric tons. That's 98 Statues of Liberty or 10,000 VW Beetles. But when you're building the world's largest vessels in the world, your crane needs to muscle every last ounce of steel.
Meet Taisun, the world's largest crane, is a fixed dual-beam gantry crane of mega proportions and holds the world record-setting lift of 20,133 metric tons. A record which broke its two previous records of 17,100 and 14,000 tons.
How did this mega crane come to be and why is such a massive crane needed?
Nearly 10 years ago the managers of Yantai Raffles Shipyard (YRS),in Shandong Province China, recognized that building tomorrow's biggest offshore oil vessels and platforms would require machinery of epic size and vast proportions and they would need the World's Largest Crane.
"If you can handle the larger blocks, 15,000t-16,000t, you can chop up a semi-submersible offshore platform into two pieces: lower pontoon columns and an upper deck box" as Brian Chang, owner of Yantai Raffle shipyards, told the industry mag Cranes Today.
In 2009, the largest builder of semi-submersible drilling rigs, reached their dreams by christening of the world's first fixed dual-beam gantry crane with the enormous lifting capacity at 20,000 MT. The towering state-of-the-art machinery is named 'Taisun", after a famous sacred mountain in the PRC's Shandong Province reflecting its size, strength and inspirational qualities.
The Christening ceremony, held on April 18, 2009 and was well attended by over 600 guests from all over the world. The event commenced with a ribbon cutting session by distinguished guests. Following the opening address by Mr Brian Chang, Chairman of YRS, Taisun demonstrated to all attendees its astounding strength by hoisting up a launching barge 30 meters above the water. Independent party American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) witnessed the lift and presented Mr Chang with a "Witness Load Testing" certificate, confirming the capacity of Taisun at 20,133 MT; a heavy lift world record.
"It will revolutionize the way large offshore projects such as semi-submersibles and FPSOs are built. By providing a perfectly safe, uniquely controllable and highly cost effective way to join super sections of up to 20,000 MT, the hours spent working at great heights will be significantly reduced." says a representative of YRS. As a result, overall project man-hours can be improved upon by up to 2 million, overall build schedules and time-to-market shortened, and safety and quality greatly improved.
Haldor Fottland, Area Manager of Awilco Offshore, said, "Awilco Offshore Semi AS congratulates YRS on the christening of the 20,000 MT crane. The introduction of this big crane certainly opens up for more efficient project execution. We are glad to see the Taisun crane operating, and we look forward to experience it in full action with the mating lift for our first semi-submersible rig."
Building The World's Largest Crane – Step 1, The Proposed Site
Laying The Foundation
Building The Towers
Landing The Beam
Lifting The Beams
Load Testing
Lifting A Barge
Coming Together – An Oil Rig Is Born
The final assembly of an oil rig goes something like this: First, the integrated module is loaded onto a barge located beneath the crane. The Taisun then lifts the module as high as 80m (at a rate of 10 meters an hour). The barge is then removed and a team of tug boats push the platform into place. It then puts top and bottom together, workers connect everything and—boom—an oil rig is born.

The Data Storage Institute (DSI), one of the many research groups at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and research (A*STAR), has taken the wraps off a hybrid disk drive said to consume less power than a comparable solid state disk while also being small and light enough enough to satisfy Intel's specs for use in Ultrabooks.
The 'A-Drive' is a 2.5 inch beast just 5mm thick, with a double-sided platter bearing 500GB on each side. 32GB of solid state memory is also aboard, along with the usual hybrid drive goodies that ensure frequently-accessed files reside in flash while the Fleetwood Mac albums you can't bring yourself to delete remain on spinning rust.
DSI executive director Dr Pantelis Alexopoulos told The Reg the Institute won't manufacture or market the drive itself, because its role is to develop storage technologies that others can productise. Singapore is home to several important players in the disk-making caper - Alexopoulos said storage is responsible for 11,000 local jobs, S$8.7 billion of revenue and S$1.5 billion of annual investment. DSI's research efforts are valuable because they help to preserve the island nation's status as a
spindle hub for the storage industry.
The desire to remain relevant in the face of solid state disk was therefore the prime reason for the disk's development.
"I said to the disk industry: 'You will lose the market for Ultrabooks and for tablets and you will die'," Alexopoulos said. The disk industry pushed back. Alexopoulos said Western Digital's senior management retorted with a query about whether he was building a toy or something they can actually manufacture.
Alexopoulos is confident he's achieved the latter outcome and hopes A-Drive innovations like the new axial motor in the A-Drive give disk companies a fighting chance. The new motor is said to require 70% less power than competing components, thanks to arrangements that make for simpler gearing and allow lower torque.
Power consumption is so low, Alexopoulos told The Reg it is 12 or 13 per cent lower than that required by SSDs. Alexopoulos admitted to being surprised by that achievement and said it came about once the DSI team measured the amount of energy required for wear levelling, the technique SSDs use to shunt data around cells in flash to ensure slower burnout of the drives. When researching the A-Drive, Alexopoulos said DSI found wear levelling uses plenty of power and that a well-designed magnetic disk can therefore beat the all-silicon machines' performance.
The presence of a single ring-shaped magnet is also important as radial motors, the disk industry's current favourite, use eight smaller magnets and therefore require a more elaborate manufacturing process. Alexopoulos said manufacturing the A-Drive's axial motor requires five steps, compared to other motors' 70.
Another innovation sees the drive's CPU use its chassis as a heat sink. The chassis itself has been shaped to reduce vibration. A new head manufacturing process means more accurate reads and writes, while even imperfectly-made heads are recoverable for use in lower-capacity drives.
The news isn't all good as the disk spins at just 5400 RPM, well below the 15k drives beloved of storage speed freaks and also well below SSD speeds.
The A-Drive gets the caliper treatment
While DSI launched the drive amid considerable fanfare – Singaporean Ministers made the journey to a new five-star resort for its unveiling - Alexopoulos isn't sure if the drive will ever become productised. That's not a problem, as DSI is already discussing how various elements of its design could be used by component-makers that supply the big disk-makers. DSI has already had nibbles from the likes of Nidec, the globe's dominant drive motor maker.
System builders are also in DSI's sights, thanks in part to Intel apparently noting at a recent Beijing event that the A-Drive may not be an SSD, but ticks all the boxes to meet the Ultrabook specification.
Alexopoulos also said Taiwanese tablet-makers are considering the drive, as a one-terabyte tablet is an impressive differentiator given the locked-down Surface and iPad hardware specs. DSI has even run up a demonstration unit of the drive in the role of a small wireless NAS serving data to Android devices. Another potential application will see the drive paired with a small e-ink screen to form an iPod challenger with what Alexopoulos said could be seven days of battery life.
The data centre is also in DSI's sights, as it is keenly aware that a thin, cool, disk drive can deliver the desirable outcome of \greater storage densities in arrays.
Just when the A-Drive will land in the data centre or any other application is hard to say. But Alexopoulos, a suave Greek expat and former CTO of Maxtor, is very persuasive and feels Apple's recent decision to slot a hybrid drive into the iMac has given his baby a better chance of success.
And as your correspondent's taxi departed Sentosa Island, a government-decreed leisure zone dotted with theme parks, golf courses and resort hotels promoted as 'Asia's favourite playground', it was hard to imagine the A-Drive will not bob up somewhere, sometime soon. ®
The Reg travelled to Singapore for the Canalys Channels Forum. The A-Drive's launch conveniently took place after the Forum's final session.

Let's see…We have the fake-baked Coors girls looking like Barbie in Siberia, a bikini contest, and a whole lot of people donning swim trunks to jump into Leech Lake where 4-foot chunks of ice have been removed. This is Walker, Minn., during one of the town's biggest events of the year. The annual Eelpout Festival runs Feb. 19-21 this year. Technically, it's an ice-fishing competition, but it's really just an excuse. This is Minnesota's version of spring break on ice, WE Fest in winter. The goal is fun–and the chance to laugh in Mother Nature's frigid face.
Bawdy and a bit naughty
A few things to know about the festival. It can be bawdy–even in the daylight. It's pretty hilarious, though, to drive through the mass city of ice houses and watch ATVs pulling couches loaded up with people (jokingly called "red-neck ski couches"). Our kids were even invited to shoot arrows at the giant inflated gorilla. Just be sharp enough to drive around the R-rated encampments. There are places named "The No-Tel Ho-Tel" and signs suggesting visitors do things that would earn you beads at Mardi Gras.
Go jump in the lake. Really.
There are kids games in the City Park, but mine, especially our 9-year-old son, were most fascinated by watching just-this-side-of-crazy folks who raise money to jump in the lake. The plunge is set up just below the gorgeously renovated Chase on the Lake Hotel. One participant (I think he was the European) managed a graceful swan dive before getting chastised. You have to jump feet first. Either way, you risk screaming like a girl. Of course, the shock might muffle it. Hats off to the Hackensack group who dressed like the cast of "Paul Bunyan: The Musical" and made the most colorful, flannel-themed splash. You were our favorite.

Oh, that looks VERY interesting. Does it also work on the older S2 DTiVo's? Can you provide a link?
I have found this script to be very useful. I originally wrote it for my S2 units and just ported it to my new THDs. Hopefully others will find this useful. This script can be found here.

I have posted the script in the "Files" area and have updated the original post to reflect this. I am only testing on my THD's, but I'm pretty sure it would still run on my old S2.5, so it may run on your DTiVo's. Have a look and let me know if you need to make some tweaks to get it running on your platform.
Kudos on the impressive work! I like that you co-opt the NPL to display the information.
Thanks. I actually wrote the first version of this about 4 years ago, but it was plagued with problems that I could live with, but didn't feel comfortbale releasing to the public. I finally got around to fixing everything (that I was aware of anyways) and felt it was time to share it.
The NPL is perfect for this. I find it cumbersome to check for conflicts through the UI, but having it in your face when you are in the NPL or browsing other units using MRV makes a lot more sense to me.
Let me know if you find anything you have to tweak.
This is fantastic, I'll have to give it a go...
Do you think it's possible to add a group for shows that didn't record due to no video signal? (This would help for noticing when the hated Tuning Adapter is broken.)

A joint drill between military and police in South Florida involving troops storming a building in the middle of the night was characterized by local media coverage not as a frightening example of how Americans are being acclimatized to accept a state of martial law but as a 'cool tourist story'.
Panic-stricken residents in Coconut Grove were awoken at 1am to the sound of simulated gunfire and explosions as military helicopters hovered over buildings and dispatched troops to the ground.
The Department of Defense drills prompted a deluge of 911 calls, but instead of asking why the military is terrifying American citizens on U.S. soil with drills designed to acclimate the public to accept martial law, local news station WSVN-TV framed the incident as a 'cool tourist story'.
"Miami police assisted in overseeing the exercises — but they were instructed to keep quiet about the exercises until late Monday, for security reasons. The police also blocked off roads around the Grand Bay during the exercise," reports the Miami Herald.

The Usual Suspects
Science research is like detective work. One scientist takes his case to California's Death Valley, to search for clues surrounding a Titan lake.
Transcript:Since we're probably never going to get to the surface of Titan and be able to pick up the rocks and take samples of the liquid, we wanted to be able to understand a place that we can get to, and then draw conclusions about Titan. We believe that geology is geology everywhere. So we've come to Death Valley, to Racetrack Playa. It's a dry lake right now, but it's a lake nonetheless; so we can look for similar pieces of evidence. The reason we do that is we can crawl around Death Valley and measure things. We could find out what's happening and find out what causes that evidence to occur. And it's just like a detective game from there on.
Title: Clue 1: Alluvial Fan So whenever you have a high thing next to a low thing, you can be sure that something's going to happen. Nature likes to even itself out. On Ontario Lacus, we have high things right next to low things. So the rainfall is going to move the material from the high to the low and it's going to form these same alluvial fans where material washes out from the gully like it does here, and it's going to flow the material down to the lakebed.
Text: Clue 2: Flooded Valleys
At Ontario Lacus, there are pieces of bedrock like this, only probably made out of water ice, that make fingers that extend down into the lake. It's as though the lake had risen up and flooded those valleys. Now this is a much smaller example than we see on Ontario Lacus, but it tells us that the level of the water is what has made this into a finger, not the finger itself.
Text: Clue 3: Deltas
On Titan, we think that the lakes are filled by seasonal drainages. Sometimes, those drainages make cross-hatch patterns that look like gullies. So we looked on Earth for a place that has those cross-hatch gullies, and here we find it at Racetrack Playa. Water that comes down from those hills flows in infrequent but violent thunderstorms out onto Racetrack Playa. As the rainfall comes down closer to the playa, on Titan, they form deltas, something like the Mississippi Delta out there. This is a dry lakebed, so what happens is that the gravel just gets pushed out onto the lakebed. And that's a clue, that what's happening on Titan is a fluid, not a dry lakebed. So by studying the relationship between the evidence and the events here in Death Valley,where we can measure them, we can connect that same set of evidence to the events that might have happened on Titan. It's important because if we're going to find life somewhere else in the universe, it has to have something in common with the once place that we know has life, and that's here.

Smith feeling better after lower back issue
WASHINGTON -- There was no humorous anecdote behind Brewers reliever Will Smith showing up for work after the All-Star break unable to pitch because of a bad back. He simply woke up on his final day off feeling stiff.
"All I did over the break was play golf and sit by the pool," said Smith, who stayed at his parents' home in Georgia. "I play golf a lot, so there's nothing out of the ordinary there. But I woke up Wednesday morning and I was like, 'Oh, that doesn't feel good.'"
He received treatment Friday and was deemed a no-go for the Brewers' second-half opener against the Nationals. Another left-hander, Zach Duke, helped preserve a 4-2 win.
Smith played catch Saturday afternoon and was feeling much better.
Having Duke (1.16 ERA and unscored upon in his last 10 outings entering Saturday) as a backup for Smith (55 strikeouts in 43 2/3 innings this season) is, "Pretty good," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "When [general manager] Doug [Melvin] talked to Zach about coming over with is, one of the things he said was, 'Look, we haven't had [a surplus of] left-handers here before, and you've got a really good chance to make our team.'"
