NYU's Statements Clash with Chen Guangcheng's
Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng has created a stir in both China and the U.S with a statement regarding his departure from New York University, which is about to open a Shanghai campus. WSJ Beijing Reporter Josh Chin tells us about the departure, and what's next for the blind human-rights activist.

One of the greatest joys of Christmas is the sight of my Mimi in Aspen. Every year she jams herself into a skin tight snowsuit and tricks out a pair of fur boots -- sometimes with a heel -- and pretends that she knows how to ski. It's a glorious annual tradition and it never really feels like Christmas until she's there, tottering around on the icy sidewalk, in full hair and makeup, somehow always beautifully lit, clutching one of her dogs.
This year though, Mimi has a proper network television job. And, f-ck them, they are working her to the very last minute before the holidays. Here's Mimi shooting American Idol's Hollywood week. In a full length gown. I mean, if this is what she's wearing for Hollywood week, what will we see from her during the live shows? Also, who's idea was it to shoot Mimi walking from her car into the venue? Look at the expression on that girl's face in the cream coloured sweater over jeans. She's probably the one who had to listen to Mimi complaining about it all day.

Here's a nice tip from Bruce Madsen in the San Francisco office that was used to allow for a quick positive or negative distance value to adjust curtain panel offsets:
The problem is that Revit does not allow negative distances:
When a negative distance is entered, Revit will report, "Parameter <name> has an invalid value."
Create the Offset parameter as a number and use an IF statement to control the length – and to convert the number to a distance.
Steps to Follow:
- Create a "Number" type parameter for the offset dimension
- "MyOffset_Inches", in this case
- The formula will assume inches, so we added "Inches" to the name
- In words, to calculate the Variable Length;
- If the Offset is negative, subtract the absolute value of the Offset from the Base Dimension
- If the Offset is zero or positive, add the value of the offset to the Base Dimension
- In the formula, note the multiplication by 1". This is to convert the Offset (Number) parameter to a distance.

Healthy Escalona eager to compete for bullpen spot
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- One of the pitchers in the thick of the battle for a spot in the bullpen this season is left-hander Sergio Escalona, who had a solid season for Houston in 2011 before missing all of last year following Tommy John surgery.
Escalona, who was 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA in 49 appearances in '11, tore his ulnar collateral ligament last spring and underwent surgery in March. He comes to camp this year with no restrictions and excited about the strides he's made.
"I feel 200 percent," he said with a smile. "It was a long time to prepare for this day and I feel great. I feel like my conditioning is back, everything is back. Hopefully everything is working."
Escalona has even thrown two light bullpen sessions already and has had no setbacks. He spent most of last year rehabbing in Florida before going to his native Venezuela late in the year to work out with a professional team.
"My goal was to be ready for Spring Training," he said. "I don't have any restrictions. I'm ready to go, seriously. I feel good. I feel better than before. I know it's just nine months from the surgery, but I think I'll be healthy and strong and focused on doing my job."

Enrollment tops 54,000 for Rice University's first Coursera class
Innovative Rice software makes popular computer programming class possible
HOUSTON — (Oct. 5, 2012) — It's the rare scientist who experiments on himself in front of his own family and 54,000 strangers. No wonder Joe Warren is nervous.
"I feel like an astronaut on top of a rocket that's about to blast off," the Rice computer scientist said about the massive open online course (MOOC) that he and three co-instructors are preparing to teach Oct. 15 on the education website Coursera. The class, An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python, is Rice's first on Coursera. Enrollment topped 54,000 Oct. 5, with hundreds of students signing up each day.
"I'm excited and confident this is going to work," said Warren, chair of Rice's Computer Science Department. Warren is also feeling the pressure that can only come from knowing that his father-in-law, 18-year-old son and dozens of Rice faculty and friends are signed up for the course. "In the back of my mind, no matter how much you prepare, it's just like that rocket: There's always a chance that something can go wrong."
It's not the material or the teaching that concerns Warren; he's taught at Rice for 25 years, and the course involves Python — an easy-to-learn computer language. It also involves fun lessons — creating games like "Pong," "Blackjack" and "Asteroids." The concern is about the MOOC format and the new technology that Warren and his co-instructors have created to teach programming in a MOOC environment.
Coursera, which launched in April, is the first education platform to host MOOC content from multiple world-renowned universities on one website. Rice and 11 other prestigious schools joined July 17, and Warren and his co-instructors, associate professor Scott Rixner and lecturers Stephen Wong and John Greiner, were among the first at Rice to volunteer.
Their eight-week course includes more than 70 video lectures, each just a few minutes long. There are also weekly quizzes and assignments called "mini projects," which involve writing about 100-200 lines of code. If the code is written correctly, the students can play the game they've created and even email a link to let friends and family play too.
"It runs at least 100 times faster than anything else out there, and that's what makes it possible to teach this class with games," Warren said. "No one else can support graphics like this in a real-time Web-based Python environment."
Rixner said, "There is no magic. CodeSkulptor delivers the performance needed to run 2-D games because it only implements the subset of Python that we need for the class."
Magic or not, at least one company has already asked to license CodeSkulptor to teach Python programming to its technical staff.
Another key part of Warren and Rixner's MOOC formula is cloud storage. When students log in to the course Web page to work on their assignments, they are free to save their work at any time. Those files are saved to a Google storage server, and Warren said the Rice students who worked in CodeSkulptor this fall saved about 20 files per assignment.
"When you scale that up for the online course, we're looking at a million files or more each week going into our account," Warren said. "I think Google can handle that, but it's one of the things about this class that we really can't test in advance."
By using CodeSkulptor, cloud storage and other techniques, Warren, Rixner, Wong and Greiner hope to make it simple for students to log in each week and do their classwork. But don't confuse simple with easy.
"This class covers the same material we just covered in the first half of the fall semester at Rice," Warren said. "This is not a hard class by Rice standards, but it is a Rice class. The Coursera students are going to need to devote at least seven to nine hours each week to these assignments. One question I have is whether the people signing up for Coursera have that level of commitment."
The class isn't taught for credit. It's free and Warren hopes it will be fun, but in Rixner's words, "People who finish this course won't be professional programmers, but they will know just enough Python programming to have fun and be dangerous."

For more than 1500 years, the island of Paros commemorates the Assumption (or Dormition) of the Virgin Mary. Τhe sacred temple of Panayia Ekatodapiliani, The Church of Our Lady of One Hundred Gates, celebrates the Dormition of the Virgin with traditional religious ceremonies attracting locals and tourists alike.
The Church is situated northeast of the capital of Paros, Paroikia, near the island's port. Many stories revolved around the foundation, the name and the architect of the church. However, a research conducted in the 20th century demonstrated that the church's rightful owners were Saint Constantine and Saint Helen.
The Church of Our Lady of One Hundred Gates is one of the oldest monuments of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture in Greece. Forty years ago, a major renovation revealed the existence of a 4th century church at this site, namely, two centuries before the Justinian epoch. Throughout the centuries, the temple suffered extensive damages, resulting in the distortion of its imposing style. In 1959, Professor Orlandos started the restoration of the temple in the Justinian style, a diligently work completed in 1966.
Regarding the painting decoration of Panayia Ekatodapiliani, it is worth mentioning the frescoes adorning the church and the surrounding chapels, where a great number of portable icons were found. The icons of Panayia Ekatodapiliani, Christ and the Dormition of the Virgin Mary placed on the iconostasis of the main temple are silver-plated, donated by Nikolaos Mavroyenis, the 18th century Parian prince of the Danubian Principalities of Moldova and Wallachia.
The festivities for the Dormition of the Virgin Mary hold throughout the day. Inside the Church, vespers and eulogy are chanted, whereas in the evening the Litany of the Holy Icon and the Epitaph fill the streets of Paroikia with warm feelings and religious emotion.
In the night, spectacular fireworks light up the sky, while locals from little fishing boats hold red smoky signal flares colouring the atmosphere with religious mystique. The ferryboats blow their horns in ecstatic joy, and dancers colorfully dressed in their traditional costumes whirl to the tunes of Greek folk music.

Now here's a pretty how-to-do for HIPAA lawbreakers. According to a new appellate decision in California, people convicted of accessing patient records illegally can be punished whether or not they knew it was illegal.
The case, United States v. Zhou, concerned the acts of one Huping Zhou, a former research assistant in rheumatology at the University of California at Los Angeles Health System. After being fired from his job as a research assistant in 2003, Zhou accessed patient records without authorization at least four times (and obviously, got caught). After some sparring over charges, the feds eventually prosecuted him for HIPAA violations.
For years, the case worked its way through the system, with Zhou taking the position that he didn't know accessing the patient records was illegal, and for that reason should not be found guilty.
Last month, the case ended up in the United States District Court for the Central District of California last month. It took the judges only a few weeks to decide that yes, Zhou was responsible even though he may not have known that his data spying was illegal under HIPAA. Wow.
The HIPAA provision the judges relied on was the following:
HIPAA provides that: "[a] person who knowingly and in violation of this part — (1) uses or causes to be used a unique health identifier; (2) obtains individually identifiable health information relating to an individual; or (3) discloses individually identifiable health information to another person, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b)." 42 U.S.C. § 1320d-6(a).
And their analysis of Zhou's defense did not go the way he had hoped. Again, from the appellate decision:
[T]he plain text of Section 1320d-6(a)(2) [of HIPAA] is not limited to defendants who knew that their
actions were illegal. Rather, the misdemeanor applies to defendants who knowingly obtained individually identifiable health information relating to an individual, and obtained that information in violation of HIPAA.
In other words, if you knowingly snoop into patient records, you're on the hook even if you never knew HIPAA existed. (Note, I am not a lawyer or court-watcher, but this is how most legal commentators have interpreted the decision.)
While I like my privacy as much as anyone else, this case does trouble me. While it's unlikely that a hospital staffer would think PHI peeping was OK, some healthcare workers — in settings such as, say, home care or a small mental health practice — might have no idea that the Department of Justice might come knocking at their door.
Wouldn't it be more logical to prosecute the hospital for being so insecure that its data could be accessed by an angry ex-employee? If it were my PHI, that's where I'd be venting my wrath.

A week ago I was perusing Yahoo Auctions Japan for stuff I don't need, as usual.
I spied a Guitar Hero On Tour DS game with the guitar grip for 500 yen. On eBay you can buy a non-genuine controller for around the $12 mark, so this seemed like a bargain.
Stealthily I put my winning bid at 510 yen in the final moments of the auction. (Unlike eBay, Yahoo extends the auction time). Luckily no one upped my bid so it was mine!
Of course postage was extra. With Yamato's COD it was 640 yen for delivery, and the
highway robbers, oops I mean UFJ bank took 262 yen for the bank transfer.
Still, I got it for a great price. I was half asleep early yesterday morning anticipating the delivery guy's knock on my door. Just before noon it arrived. It was wrapped well with bubble wrap and gift wrap like a present on my birthday. nice.
I was quite surprised that under the paper the box was still in unopened shrink-wrap plastic. It was brand new! Also it had the original 4,760 yen sticker price on it. I did well, ne?
It was my day off today. I woke up about 12:30pm. I played Guitar Hero until I went cross-eyed. I'd planned to go to Akihabara today to look at a replacement camera for my Nikon, but got stuck with family tech support again.
There seems to be a sense of urgency. This weekend is the last chance to see the giant full-size Gundam in Odaiba. I thought it was going to be permanent but apparently not. I really don't want to miss out on this photo/video opportunity.
I hope it doesn't rain.

Dodgers pitch in for LAPD manhunt reward
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- The Dodgers are among the donors that contributed to a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer Christopher Dorner, according to a list released by the LAPD and reported by the Los Angeles Times.
The Dodgers confirmed their participation but had no further comment.
The bulk of the money was contributed by police associations and law enforcement departments in California, but several corporations, private individuals and anonymous donors also pitched in. Among the corporations were the Dodgers and AEG, owner of Staples Center.
The reward offer was announced by Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and was the idea of LAPD chief Charlie Beck's wife, Beck said at a press conference.
"For those of you that question how so much money was put together: It was amazingly, amazingly easy," Beck said. "When we reached out to members of this community, they gave immediately."
Dorner is the target of one of the most extensive manhunts in Southern California history. He is accused of a killing an Irvine couple and a Riverside police officer in retaliation for being dismissed by the LAPD in 2009. He also is suspected of wounding two other officers.

When Hurricane Sandy hit New York, the city was buffeted by immense tidal surges and inundated by flood waters. It was both a reminder of the might of nature and a warning to all waterfront cities.
It illustrated that the construction of dense, heavily built up cities exacerbates the effects of storms. Roads and pavements increase the chances of flooding by preventing rain from soaking into the soil.
Heavy seawall defences can actually aggravate flooding.
An answer could be found in the building of a soft green infrastructure that imitates natural systems.
This is one of the conclusions of a draft report by the NYC2100 commission. The report makes a number of recommendations. Green roofs, pavement swales and urban wetlands that will reduce stormwater build-up. The restoration of a natural littoral by rebuilding native marshes and wetlands to help mitigate storm surges.
If this sounds far-fetched we should look at the new waterfronts being constructed in China.
With so many Chinese cities either on the coast or along rivers, the environmental issues of flooding, stormwater control and pollution have concerned the Chinese authorities for a number of years.
However, Chinese designers have also seen these environmental problems as an opportunity to create sorely needed public space.
Houtan Park, designed by Turenscape and built for the Shanghai Expo in 2010, is a great example. The 17ha park is located along the heavily polluted Huangpu River.
The park features a 1.7km-long wetland (roughly the distance from the Wynyard Quarter to the Bledisloe container terminal in Auckland). The wetland acts as a soft waterfront flood barrier replacing the stark concrete levee and is also a green retreat from the hectic city life of Shanghai. In addition it treats the heavily contaminated water from the Huangpu River through a series of ponds and reed beds, improving the quality of the water before returning it to the river. The Auckland CBD is a highly urbanised district with large areas of impervious surfaces. During storms there are large discharges of stormwater into the harbour. A rise in sea level through climate change with increased storm events can be expected to lead to widespread urban flooding.
To prevent this we should consider a waterfront that is radically different to the promenade of bars and restaurants of the Viaduct.
It will be more like a park, a watery littoral with native wetlands and coastal planting. Paths and boardwalks would weave in and out of an ever-changing landscape as the tide rises and falls, the growth of native flora would encourage the return of native fauna, the waterfront could become a valuable ecological link between the Waitakeres and the archipelago.
A good example of how this new waterfront might look is a proposed park for the Wynyard Quarter designed by Bryce Hinton. He suggests turning the end of the Wynyard quarter into a park with reserves, public spaces and fields. The edge would be protected with buffer zones of mangroves. The green infrastructure would also treat the millions of litres of contaminated stormwater from the Freemans Bay catchment. The result would be a new kind of public park for Auckland.
The implications of Hurricane Sandy are profound. This is an opportunity for Auckland to develop the techniques needed to ameliorate the effects of climate change.
The green waterfront could become New Zealand's calling card to the world.

Hideo Kojima has been chatting about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the unexpected new PSP game starring Big Boss, aka Naked Snake. Kojima has revealed that, although it isn't Metal Gear Solid 5 as some had expected, he considers the PSP title a "5 class game.
"This game is an MGS5-class game," states the mad developer. "I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team. Therefore in that sense, "METAL GEAR SOLID" has not ended, and the "METAL GEAR SAGA" continues."
Kojima also reveals what the various symbols on the Kojima Productions countdown teaser site meant, revealing how they hinted at the announcements of Peace Walker and MGS: Rising in Kojima's typically convoluted and wacky way:
5=it is an MGS5 class game
巳=snake in Kanji
3=3 from 360 and E3
6=6 from 360
P and S=PSP and adding 3 makes it PS3
Hit the jump for Konami's full Q&A session, and make sure you check out our gallery for a handful of new shots. Having just replayed Metal Gear Solid 4, this news couldn't have come at a better time. The only question I have is this ... when will Kojima say he's going to stop making Metal Gear Solid and actually mean it for once? Big fan of the man, but he's such a liar.
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today revealed a Q&A session with legendary video game creator and head of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima, and new screenshots from the highly anticipated title coming to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system in 2010, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. This latest PSP installment picks up where Metal Gear Solid®3 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system leaves off as players take control of the famed Naked Snake. Taking place in 1974, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker features original game design, story and scenario by Hideo Kojima. The game takes the series in an exciting new direction with its incredible visuals and its unique new game system designed specifically with the PSP in mind.
1) I bet many users had expected the next MGS5 announcement. When did you start this project?
I actually had the plan for this project in mind while working on MPO. Back then, I intended to place the project in the hands of the next generation of creators at Kojima Productions. However, in the end, I felt that it was still a little too early to leave it completely in their hands, so I decided to take the reins.
This game is an MGS5-class game. I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team. Therefore in that sense, "METAL GEAR SOLID" has not ended, and the "METAL GEAR SAGA" continues.
2) You have been telling for many years that your ultimate theme is "Anti-war and Anti-nuclear weapon". Does this theme continue in this title?
Absolutely. The METAL GEAR SOLID series has always featured "Anti-war" and "Anti-nuke" themes. This title is no exception.
In the event of an attack from a neighboring country, I believe that finding a solution through diplomacy is ideal. However, the fact is that even peaceful countries with no intention of retaliating still maintain armies just for the sake of deterrence. I am sure there are varied opinions regarding this subject, but I believe that it is our generation's role to "create peace through discussion." What makes things complicated is that the youth of today have been born into a world where the current situation is the norm, so it's difficult to convey this message. That is why my hope is to have players ponder and learn about why there are people who advocate the "need for armies, military power, and nuclear weapons" so that they may realize "why things turned out the way that they did" while they play this game.
3) I understand that it is a tactical espionage action game but could you provide some explanation for bringing this title to the PSP platform? I saw 4 Snakes
in the trailer presented at E3, is this COOP?
The game will be stealth-action based. I can't reveal too many details yet, but we are implementing features that can only be realized on the PSP platform that I believe everyone can look forward to. The game will be a little different from the METAL GEAR that players have come to know. However, the story can be replayed numerous times and the game is full of challenges to complete, so I feel that this title will really satisfy players with its long-lasting play time. Just as an example, do you recall the cardboard box at the end of the Peace Walker trailer? In addition to that two-man box, we are preparing a variety of other different cardboard boxes this time around.
To give a little more insight into the game, you can, how shall I say... customize Snake according to your preferences and determine what kind of soldier you will use prior to embarking on your mission. For example there's heavy gear configurations that make a lot of noise, but that allow you to equip numerous weapons. Or, there are other configurations that won't allow you to carry many weapons, but will allow you to be light on your feet. We will be preparing a variety of other types as well. Being able to make decisions and plot a strategy will be one of the really enjoyable features of this title.
We are also working on a "growth feature" as well, where your character evolves. It will be a new type of system, so I hope everyone will look forward to it!
4) "You're known for boot camps and on site checks. This time which part would
you like to stress about the reality in terms of game quality?
We conduct research in many ways and then begin game production. In regards to the quality of the game, the main staff of MGS4 are producing it. They are aiming for PS3 quality because they were creating MGS4 on the PS3 not too long ago. In reality it is hard to maintain the same quality as the PS3 but we strive for it and we are expressing this in ways only we can express it in.
5) Regarding the KJP countdown teaser site, there were several signs as a message, could you explain what this message is all about?
5=it is an MGS5 class game
巳=snake in Kanji
3=3 from 360 and E3
6=6 from 360
P and S=PSP and adding 3 makes it PS3
Aside from the Snake and Raiden visuals, we featured a total of 10 "symbols" and when all of these are rearranged, they form connections to the announcements that we made at E3.
The first symbols that appeared were the number "5" and the letter "S" for Snake that represented PW which, to me, is a "5" class title. "巳" not only hints at the lowercase lettering of "E" for E3, but it is the kanji for the word "snake." Also, the symbol that appeared at the very end is the kanji "日" and represents a sunny background and the sunrise that links to RISING.
The "RISING" of "METAL GEAR SOLID RISING" implies "the sun rising," "the sun shining," and "the sun shining on Raiden" that was revealed in the visuals on the HP. In addition, "RISING" also represents how "METAL GEAR SOLID" will be taking the next step up.
Going back to the symbols found on the HP, they also link to "the day of 360" and also to each of the titles that we announced at E3. When each of the symbols are rearranged, I think you'll be able to recognize E3, PSP, PS3, 360 and others. So everyone, how did you like it? Were your predictions on the mark?

This is the easternmost end of the Peninsula. Open to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the city has vast beaches, furiously lashed by east winds.
Tarifa became an important city back in the 10th century, under the rule of Abd-al-Rahman III, when the caliph castle that we find in the historic quarter was built. The influence of the Arab period can be seen in the present appearance of the city, with narrow, winding streets. It also has other interesting monuments, such as the Gothic-Mudejar chapel of Santiago; the convent of San Francisco, and the churches of Santa María and San Mateo. The township has almost 38 kilometres worth of beaches, most of which are shallow and have very fine sands, as is the case with Lances Beach, declared a Natural Site.

Product Care
General Care
We select the best fabrics for the upholstery process, from suppliers around the world. They represent a balance between quality and style combining beauty with practicality. We subject all our fabrics to tests such as the Martindale test, to determine resistance to wear and tear.
To remove dust, brush delicately using a brush with soft bristles or use a vacuum cleaner with the medium power output setting using the most suitable accessory supplied with the cleaner and taking care not to rub the accessory directly against the covering.
To maintain the aesthetic appearance it is advisable to treat each stain immediately before it becomes absorbed excessively: this will avoid prolonged or abrasive treatments being required. If it is found necessary to use solvents, avoid applying the solvents directly on the stain. Pour the solvent onto a clean cloth: each treatment should first be tested on a hidden area of the sofa covering. Clean the stain using a circular movement, working from the outside towards the centre. Always take care to rub each stain delicately.
Removing Stains
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, non-abrasive cloth and then remove the stain. Wash using only colourless, mild soapsuds, obtained by shaking the container vigorously, if the stain persists. Then remove the stain using only 10% denatured alcohol diluted in water. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Do Not
- Expose to direct sunlight or to powerful lamps to ensure the colour of the covering remains bright.
- Position less than 50 cm away from heat sources such as heaters, radiators or fires.

text: So, last week's combination of a bunch of great images of volcanoes from space with the Smithsonian/USGS Global Volcanism Program's Weekly Volcanic Activity Report went over so well, I thought I'd try it again. I'm having trouble coming up with a catchy name for this feature, so if you have any ideas, leave them in the comments below. As ever, special thanks to Sally Kuhn Sennert for putting together the weekly report over at the GVP and the NASA Earth Observatory for the amazing images taken from orbit. On to this week's report… But first! Last week I mentioned that I couldn't find any images of Lewotobi in Indonesia in the NASA EO archive. Well, leave it to them to go and find me some images of the volcano in question, along with a couple other great gems. Above: Flores Island This is the Isle of Flores in Indonesia, one of main islands of the nation. It isn't known for its volcanoes but it does have a few, including Lewotobi and Kelimutu (see both above). Flores is, at least right now, most known for the rare species of human that apparently lived on the island from ~17,000 to 9,500 years ago — Homo floresiensis, the famous "Hobbit" fossils. Now, there is still debate over the true place that Homo floresiensis has on the family tree of humans, but so far, they have only been found on Flores. Image: Flores Island in Indonesia seen in 2001. Lewotobi can be seen on the far right of the image. (NASA Earth Observatory)Lewotobi Volcanoes Lewotobi, mentioned in last week's GVP Report, is actually a twin volcano, colloquially referred to as the "husband and wife" — Lewotobi Perempuan and Lewotobi Lakilaki. You can see in the image that Lakilaki is actually a parasitic cone on the flanks of the larger Perempaun edifice and seems to have younger volcanic deposits (grey) coming from its vent over the buff-colored material on the slopes of Perempuan. If you look at the eruptive history, that observatory would be correct, as Lakilaki was the focus of activity during the last eruption at Lewotobi in 2003. In fact, the last known eruption from the Perempuan crater was all the way back in 1935. This is definitely not uncommon behavior at a volcano, so change the center of activity across localized vents, something we've seen often at places like Kirishima and Kilauea. Image: Lewotobi Perempuam and Lewotobi Lakilaki in Indonesia seen in 2001. (NASA Earth Observatory)Kelimutu Kelimutu is another one of the active volcanoes on Flores and as this image shows, it looks like this volcano has no less than four craters at its summit, three of which had obvious crater lakes in 2009 — these three volcanic lakes are popular tourist destinations. There isn't much known about the volcanic history of Kelimutu, but the last activity was in 1968 and along with the two other known historic eruption, was a small phreatic (steam-driven) explosion. Image: Kelimutu in Indonesia seen in 2009. (NASA Earth Observatory)Anak Krakatau There was one Indonesian volcano in this week's Report — Anak Krakatau — a volcano we talked about earlier this week. Some people asked about the location of Anak Krakatau within the Sunda Strait, so this 1992 image really brings home (a) how far the tsunami traveled to get to the shores of Sumatra and Java during the 1883 eruption and (b) how large the ancestral Krakatau volcano is compared to the emerging Anak Krakatau. Admittedly, even before the 1883, the islands at Krakatau weren't a single landmass, but all three of the islands flanking Anak Krakatau were produced by volcanic activity at one point in Krakatau's past. Image: Anak Krakatau and the ancestral Krakatau caldera within the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, seen in May 2002. (NASA Earth Observatory)Villarrica Chile: Villarrica has had an active lava lake in the crater for quite a few years and when I visited Pucón in 2004, you could easily see the glow of the crater from the town. Activity looks to be ramping up at the volcano, with a rapid rise in the lava lake level causing melting of the snow and ice at the summit, along with dusting of the slopes with ash. This was followed by some strombolian explosions at the summit crater and threw ash and bombs onto the upper slopes. This 2010 image of Villarrica shows the snow-covered slopes along with paths that occasional lahars take down the river valleys that head away from the volcano like spider legs. Thanks to its location near Pucón, there are a number of webcams that you can watch to see the activity, provided that the cloud cover allows a clear view. Image: Villarrica in Chile seen May 2010. (NASA Earth Observatory)Santa María Guatemala: This week's activity at Santa María's Santiaguito dome produced explosions, which is common at this dome complex as the oversteepened domes collapse and produce block-and-ash flows. You can see the paths of some of these flows on the 2002 NASA EO images of Santa María — along with the somewhat startling juxtaposition of the volcano and the city of Quezaltenango (home of the famed Guatemalan Insanity Peppers). If you mix the volcanic debris with water, you can easily produce lahars that can travel far afield from the volcano and that happened this week at Santa María — and the lahar moved blocks up to 2 meters large! Image: Santa Maria in Guatemala seen in 2002. (NASA Earth Observatory)Aleutian Islands Alaska: Finally, up in Alaska, the dome growth at Cleveland continues unabated. Most of the information that Alaska Volcano Observatory has been receiving about what is going on at Cleveland is via satellite imagery, like this 2006 image of a small plume from Cleveland drifting out over the Pacific. This stretch of the Aleutians is chock full of volcanoes, many of which are on uninhabited islands, so it is difficult to set up and maintain seismic stations on all the volcanoes, even one as active as Cleveland. This leaves AVO reliant on "good seeing" from satellite visual and infrared camera to keep tabs on the volcano. Image: An ash plume from Cleveland in the Aleutians, along with a number of other Aleutian volcanoes.

Fung Wah Bus Involved In Mishap
No Injuries Reported
A Fung Wah bus headed from Boston to New York City rode up on top of a concrete barrier at the Weston tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike Friday.
NewsCenter 5's Steve Lacy reported that the bus apparently ran into the barrier as it was traveling westbound at about 8:30 a.m.
The incident began when the driver pulled into an autos-only lane, realized his mistake and backed up on the highway, officials said.
"I go the wrong way, you know," the driver said. "I see the sign is 'Auto Only.'"
The bus became stuck when trying to enter another travel lane. There were passengers on board the bus but no one was seriously injured in the crash, police said.
"He tried going through, backed up and tried to take a short cut over the median," one passenger said.
The bus was evacuated, and passengers were met by another Fung Wah bus that was bound for New York. All of the passengers got onboard the second bus.
"I saw them in the news before. My friends told me, 'Don't get the Fung Wah bus,' but I got it before and it's never been a problem. I'll go to New York, but I think I'll come back on a (different bus), you know," another passenger said.
The driver was taken to the Weston State Police barracks for questioning. Police confirmed that he speaks broken English. Federal law requires all commercial bus drivers to be able to speak conversational English.
The low-cost carrier that takes passengers between Boston and New York City has experienced problems in the past with drivers and accidents.
Last year, about 36 passengers were hurt in a rollover in Auburn. Team 5 confirmed that at the time, the discount carrier had one of the worst safety review rates in the country.
The driver in the rollover had false logbooks and didn't speak conversational English. It's also something state police cracked down on in surprise inspections
After Team 5's investigations, Fung Wah drivers had to take English classes so they could handle emergencies.
Friday's mishap is the third this year alone. On Jan. 3, a New York-bound bus lost two wheels on the Massachusetts Turnpike.
During the Valentine's Day snowstorm, a Fung Wah bus skidded off the highway. No one was hurt, but state police cited the driver for going too fast and negligent operation.
Team 5 has learned that immediately after the Valentine's Day crash, state officials urged Fung Wah to suspend bus trips for the remainder of the day, and they did not.

"Colorado is pretty close, too, so I guess they're both home races. Is that possible?" said Anderson this morning.
Unfortunately, Anderson's chances of repeating his Utah success today at the Built Ford Tough National at Miller Motorsports Park took a hit last week at Unadilla. Late in the second 250 moto, while running fourth, he crashed hard on the fastest section of the track and knocked the wind out of himself.
"I was able to ride a little bit two different days, but dude, I was so sore this week," he said this morning.
Jason Anderson is looking for more magic in Utah today.
Simon Cudby photo
With his 11-DNF result at Unadilla, Anderson surrendered sixth in the 250 points to the surging rookie Jeremy Martin. But like most racers at this level, Anderson's not really concerned about finishing sixth or seventh in points, it really doesn't make a big difference. He just wants to have good results week by week.
And then there's that little matter of next year. Anderson's Rockstar Energy Racing team has announced a switch from Suzuki to KTM, and it's a move Anderson is happy with. He rode KTMs for a few years as an amateur and absolutely loved the bikes, so he's excited to get back on them. "When I was on them, the bikes were really fast, and the same guy who built my motors back then is going to build them for us next year," he says.
For the final two Lucas Oil Pro Motocross rounds, he'll ride his Suzuki, and then get on a KTM for a few days after next weekend's finale at Lake Elsinore. Then comes a short break, as Anderson has actually been riding with a broken foot for most of the season and will have to go through surgery to fix it. He expects to be back on his new KTM a few weeks later, with a full head of steam for 2014. For now, though, he's got four motos left on his Suzuki, two of them in an area where he's had success before. Can he find that Utah magic again?

You rode around the neighborhood on your bike with a pack of kids. Not an adult in sight. No cell phone in your pocket. If you needed to call Mom, you found a pay phone or hopped into a friend's house and dialed on a rotary phone.
After a whirl around the neighborhood, a game of kickball in the street and a climb up your neighbor's tree, you took a swig from the lead-laced hose in your front yard and ran into the house where your entire family sat around the table for dinner.
Those were the good old days? The freedom and independence kids enjoyed were certainly exceptional. The time spent outside running around was another huge plus. There were downsides. Kids didn't wear bike helmets or seat belts. We didn't know about the lead in the hoses (though we all drank from them and seemed to turn out OK).
No matter, today's kids are growing up in a different world filled with Minecraft, text messages and helicopter parents. There are many things from our bygone childhoods—good and bad—that they will never experience. Take a look at some of these things in the slide show above and please add to the list in the comments.

Andrew Cane of leading UK independent classical store Prelude Records explained to An Overgrown Path yesterday: "Cloudburst had been out for two weeks when BBC Radio 3's CD Review gave it an outstanding review. Then the rush started, and we took more than ten orders just on Saturday. That was double our next best seller - a TV advertised 'Best of Mozart' compilation. Sales of Cloudburst have also been very strong this week, easily outselling the big January release of the 2006 New Year's Day Concert conducted by Mariss Jansons. We are delighted, but it is really quite surprising as Eric Whitacre is almost unknown here." The success of Cloudburst has been reflected in the US where within a day of being released it entered the Amazon top ten classical best seller list.
Eric Whitacre was born in Nevada in 1970, and played synthesizers in a teenage techno-pop band before graduating from the Juilliard School of Music where he studied with John Corigliano and David Diamond. His musical voice is unique but fundamentally conservative, and he has been described as the 'anti-Tavener' because of his disregard for fashions such as the so-called 'holy minimalism', although the setting of the biblical text When David heard does pay homage to Arvo Pärt. It is no bad thing, but I do also clearly hear the influence of another unique voice in the form of Peter Maxwell Davies (right), particularly Max's 1981 Lullabye for Lucy. (Opening the link launches an audio file of this sublime work). Whitacre is a master of harmony, but is a million miles away from the 'comfort music' of John Rutter and others. Despite Eric Whitacre's popular appeal there is no complacency in his writing, and he keeps the listener on the edge of their seat with shifting chords and startling harmonies that confirm his pop/rock roots. Above all it is his ability to make music the servant of words that distinguishes his vocal works, and this is reflected in his eclectic choice of texts.
Whitacre's choral works, which include Water Night, Cloudburst, Sleep, Lux Aurumque and A Boy and a Girl, are hugely popular in the US, and his compositions for symphonic winds are also frequently programmed, particularly Ghost Train which has had over a thousand performances and forty recordings. One of his most recent compositions is Paradise Lost (production shot right). He describes this, his first work for stage, as an 'opera electronica', and it combines trance, ambient, and techno electronics in a genre crossing combination of choral, cinematic and operatic forms.
Cloudburst was recorded by Hyperion, and takes it name from one of Eric Whitacre's best known choral works which sets a poem by Nobel Prize winner Octavio Paz. The CD features fourteen settings of poets as diverse as Dickinson, Lorca, Cummings and a 13th Century Persian Sufi mystic. It was recorded in just three days with Stephen Layton directing the vocal ensemble Polyphony who do not include Whitacre in their core repertoire. Polyphony are outstanding in any music, and they rise magnificently to the new challenges set by Eric Whitacre. The lines are exposed and there is no vibrato to hide behind, yet the result is one of the best choral releases I have heard for years. All credit to Hyperion for this innovative release, and to Simon Eadon's superb engineering in London's Temple Church (where Stephen Layton was Director of Music). The sound is demonstration quality, particularly in the title track which features piano, percussion, handbells, thunder sheet, wind chimes, a suspended cymbal and, shades of Max, a children's choir.
To remind us all how to reach new audiences here is no less than five minutes of glorious choral singing from Cloudburst in the form of Eric Whitacre's Water Night -

Eastern Asia is home to the third-largest country in the world: China. For many tourists, this is the ultimate dream and more than worth recommending in our opinion. The image that many people have of China from reading history books is completely at odds with the current situation. The major cities in particular have become westernised and are a textbook example of dynamic change and economic growth.
Beijing, or Peking as it is perhaps better known to the majority of Europeans, is the capital of China and home to approximately 15 million inhabitants.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to Begin Filming in Two Weeks
Feb 06, 2009
As a follow to the article below, the BBC is now reporting additional information on main filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. With the set now reopened following the accident with a stunt person, a spokesman for WB said of the upcoming Harry Potter filming:
"We have not begun filming yet and will not do so for another two weeks. This has always been the case," she said.
"Filming will commence mid-February and go through to spring 2009."
As we first told you last December, filming on the seventh Harry Potter movie is due to run 54 weeks. This also follows Dan Radcliffe's earlier remarks about hoping to begin filming on the 15th of the month as well. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in two parts, the first November 2010, followed by Part 11 in May 2011.

Grooming Your German Shepherd at Home
If you are planning to groom your German Shepherd Dog by yourself at home, ther's nothing like that. Assuming that he is conditioned to grooming that includes bathing, nail clipping, brushing, ear cleaning, it is important to plan a routine work for maintain your German shepherd's hygiene at home itself. It is better for your GSD and you both to carry on a weekly grooming session for your GSD at home, which may save a good amount of money. You cannot find a professional dog grooming parlor that can offer a satisfactory service at less than $30 per grooming session. Do-It-Yourself Dog grooming for Rover will save you at least $1000 annually. In the down trodden economy, it is worthy enough to think of saving a few dollars.
German Shepherd sheds heavily and throughout the year. Regular (twice a week, if not daily) brushing is highly recommended. Brushing your German Shepherd's coat will; keep him fresh and free from dead follicles, tangles and mattes.
Problem is if you are not an experienced owner, you might end up with the worst experience in your life if Rover has not been conditioned to grooming, bathing, or nail clipping. Fact remains, no professional groomer will be eager to groom a full grown GSD that has not been socialized and seasoned with experiences like grooming. If he is not well trained and conditioned to such situations, good chance is there that he is going to attack the stranger who's going to approach him with tools and apparatus. Grooming starts at home and in the early stage. Behavioral grooming is teaching him how to behave in the way desired. Obedience training at the early phase of his life finds the most vital role to play here. Behavioral grooming is the start of all kind of grooming in a dog and especially for large and giant breeds like GSD, Labrador, Doberman, Great Dane, Irish Wolf Hound etc. behavioral training has an immense significance. Check out a few economic tips for German Shepherd grooming

Why the Left Had to Steal the Right's Dark-Money Playbook
The sociologist Sudhir Venkatesh spent years studying crack dealers, sex workers, and the offspring of billionaires. Then he wandered into an even stranger world: social media.

In this pilot episode of a new podcast, Venkatesh interviews the progressive political operative Tara McGowan about her digital successes with the Obama campaign, her noisy failure with the Iowa caucus app, and why the best way for Democrats to win more elections was to copy the Republicans.
