Losing families of herbicides in the ongoing battle against Palmer pigweed is tantamount to sending modern-day warriors out to fight battles with a bow and arrow.
And, winning the war against herbicide-resistant weeds is critical to the continued profitability of cotton production in the Southeast.
No-till production systems, combined with nearly exclusive use of glyphosate for weed control in the mid-1990s, dramatically changed the way cotton was grown in the Southeast. The combination allowed growers to use less labor and resulted in a switch from small to large acreage operations, especially cotton, in the Southeast.
The change in cotton production systems didn't come without costs, and unfortunately many growers in the area have been paying a high price to stay in the game when resistant Palmer amaranth pigweeds occur.
Acetolactate synthate, or ALS-inhibiting herbicides, like Envoke and Staple are frequently used to manage a number of commonly occurring weeds in cotton.
Early on in the battle against Palmer amaranth pigweed, growers basically lost this family of herbicides in some areas of the Southeast due to widespread resistance by a number of weed pests, most prominently Palmer pigweed.
The well-documented resistance by pigweed to glyphosate provided a double-whammy for cotton and soybean growers, leaving them with few options. Or, more correctly, with fewer options that didn't require lots of money and/or time to use.
The next family of herbicides to enter the fray against herbicide resistant weeds was the family of PPO-based products that includes such popular cotton herbicides as Valor and Reflex. Losing these herbicides to resistance problems would severely hamper efforts by Southeastern cotton farmers to manage any combination of weed problems that includes pigweed.
In the Southeast, so far so good with PPO herbicide use in cotton weed management.
Growers have been quick to recognize the potential future challenges of growing cotton and soybeans without this family of herbicides and most have limited the use of PPOs, especially in areas prone to glyphosate resistant pigweed.
However, a few hundred miles away, the news isn't so promising. Waterhemp is a close cousin to Palmer amaranth and nearly a decade ago researchers documented resistance to multiple herbicides, the latest being PPO inhibitors, in soybeans in Illinois.
Problem has gotten bigger
The problem has gotten much bigger and more difficult in recent years.
Waterhemp populations have evolved to withstand atrazine, ALS-inhibiting herbicides and PPO-inhibiting herbicides, says University of Missouri Weed Scientist Kevin Bradley.
A similar scenario with Palmer pigweed and resistance to PPO inhibitors would be a worst case situation for most cotton growers in the Southeast.
Alan York, now retired North Carolina State University weed scientist and his former graduate student, Stanley Culpepper, now a University of Georgia weed scientist, have been at the forefront of what is now nearly a decade of finding answers to herbicide resistant pigweed.
Though retired, York continues to lead a group of weed scientists from North Carolina State University in their quest to help farmers in the upper Southeast find new, economic and efficient herbicide combinations to fight the overall problem of weed resistance to herbicides.
Charlie Cahoon is a graduate research assistant at North Carolina State University and one of York's latest protégés to take up the fight against herbicide resistance in North Carolina. Under York's leadership, he and other
North Carolina State weed scientists put in a series of tests to develop some alternative systems to popular multiple applications of PPO inhibitors.
For the past three years we've looked at a number of herbicide combinations that reduce dependence on PPO inhibitors, Cahoon says.
"If we lost PPO herbicides, like they have in some parts of the country, it would be a scary thing for North Carolina cotton growers. About all we would have left is glufosinate and over a period of years of overuse we could lose that to resistance problems, too," he warns.
Glufosinate, sold by the tradename Ignite, and more recently, Liberty is a broad-spectrum postemergence herbicide that has no soil activity. Ignite inhibits the activity of the glutamine synthetase enzyme that is necessary for the plant to convert ammonia into other nitrogen compounds.
Glufosinate resistant (Liberty Link) crops with an alternative glutamine synthetase enzyme have been developed through genetic engineering.
Over-use a possibility
Over-use of this technology is definitely a possibility in the future, because it can be used on Phytogen Widestrike cotton, and the most widely planted single cotton variety in the Southeast is Phytogen 499 with the Widestrike gene that provides similar protection as does the Liberty Link gene in some Stoneville varieties.
In no-till cotton throughout North Carolina, the Cadillac program for managing glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth includes the sequential application of two PPO herbicides.
Typically, Valor SX goes out about three weeks ahead of planting in a preplant burndown application with glyphosate and 2,4-D. Then at planting, growers usually follow up with another PPO herbicide pre-emergent, Reflex. This is alarming because growers are essentially exposing pigweed to multiple applications of a PPO herbicide, which greatly increases the likelihood of resistance.
The North Carolina researchers looked at Valor SX or no residual herbicide preplant followed by Reflex, Diruon (PS II-inhibitor), or no residual herbicide at planting.
Additionally, they looked at Diuron preplant followed by Reflex or no residual herbicide at planting.
Gramoxone was included both preplant and at planting. This allowed the researchers to determine which PPO herbicide growers could go without.
"Over the two-year period, and at multiple sites, we saw comparable weed control using one of the PPO herbicides in combination with Diuron at either the front or the back end of the system.
However, in 2010 we did not receive a timely activating rainfall on our residuals at planting and systems with Valor SX preplant outperformed all others." Cahoon says.
This past year, the researches got similar results with Valor SX preplant followed by either Diuron or Reflex at planting. In contrast to 2010, 2011 brought timely activating rainfall at planting and adequate control of pigweed with Diuron preplant followed by Reflex at planting.
It appears taking one of the PPO herbicides out of the weed management system did not reduce control of Palmer amaranth and other weeds commonly found in North Carolina cotton fields." Cahoon says
So we can essentially replace either PPO herbicide with Diuron if we get timely rainfall, but the safer bet is to keep Valor SX preplant.
Another option
Another option if growers prefer to apply Reflex behind the planter is to include a tank-mix partner, such as Diuron or Cotoran. This gets two modes of action on the pigweed and drives the chances for resistance way down. " Cahoon says.
The take home message, Cahoon adds, is the value of a residual herbicide as a part of a preplant burndown application in no-till cotton.
Residual herbicides used preplant protect growers from a failure of pre-emergence herbicides applied at planting, he says.
"Our two primary options preplant here in North Carolina include Valor SX and Diuron. However, when we saw dry weather at planting, Valor SX outperformed Diuron, so it looks like we should keep Valor SX preplant." Cahoon says.
The North Carolina researchers explored the same treatments using both a Liberty Link and a Roundup system. Cahoon says they saw similar results when substituting Diuron for one of the PPO-inhibitors, regardless of whether glyphosate or glufosinate herbicides were used as a primary weed management tool.
With cotton acreage down this year and expected to drop again in 2013, growers are likely to put more cotton on their most highly productive land. This will put a higher premium on early-season weed management because of its well documented impact on final cotton yields.
York stresses the importance of using multiple herbicide families to improve efficacy of weed control and at the same time slow down the ever-worsening problem with herbicide-resistant weeds, most prominently pigweed.
Several new herbicide products, or more precisely combinations of herbicides and new technology, are likely to be available for cotton growers in the near future.
However, there are no new families of herbicides on the horizon. So it is critical for long-term cotton production in the Southeast to conserve the longevity of herbicide tools we currently have by using them wisely.

Manchester's school year will be 5 days shorter; February, April vacations remainBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 09. 2013 12:13AM
MANCHESTER - The Board of School Committee has come to an agreement with the city teachers union that will shorten the school year starting in the fall from 180 to 175 days.
The agreement with the Manchester Education Association means that two vacations, in February and April will remain in place.
Should the two parties not have reached an agreement, the board had voted to have one spring vacation in March.
The new calendar uses hours, rather than days, to meet state requirements for minimum instruction time. To accomplish this, the new calendar makes slight adjustments to the start and stop times of the school day.
Demonstration staged
A citizen journalist staged a demonstration at City Hall on Monday over allegations he was told he was not authorized to videotape inside the buildings.
Dave Ridley, who produces videos for a blog called the Ridley Report, said he was told by the security guard at the building four months ago that he needed authorization to record inside City Hall. He said Mayor Ted Gatsas told him he needed to get permission from the city clerk.
Ridley said he wanted to get reaction from the aldermen ahead of a meeting.
Ridley, who advocates for Libertarian issues, was joined on Monday by members of the group Cop Block, who have engaged in several disputes with Manchester police concerning restrictions on videotaping and recording.
The group held signs in front of City Hall before the school board meeting, and several people went inside to tape the proceedings.
They weren't interfered with as they did so.
Mayor Ted Gatsas said he doesn't recall telling Ridley that he needed special permission to tape inside the building.

Public's help wanted in identifying Hooksett women in shoplifting incident at Kohl's
January 29. 2013 11:56AM
HOOKSETT - Police are asking for the public's help in identifying two women they say stole about $600 worth of perfume and clothing from Kohl's.
The women took the items about 11:40 a.m. Monday from the department store located at 200 Quality Drive, police said.
They were confronted by the store's loss-prevention officer before leaving the store but immediately fled to a waiting white Nissan Altima with dark-tinted windows. Witnesses were able to get a partial plate number of NH 338.
One of the woman has a tattooed heart on her hand.
Investigators released several photos of the women captured by the store's surveillance system.
Anyone with information about the identity of these women or the incident itself is asked to call Officer Brett Fernald at 624-1560, ext. 151.

Has anyone tried to get RoadNav working? It installs successfully, though it feels a bit slow and the fonts aren't right (i.e., some of them are very large). Also, it miscalculates the screen size, so a portion of the configuration dialogs are off-screen.
I have a Holux M1000 GPS receiver. It's Bluetooth, so I haven't been able to get it work with the XO as of yet (I haven't bothered with getting the kernel modules for BT). I did order a data cable for the receiver, so I should be able to get it hooked up via USB in the near future.
I was going to put compiled maps on a SDHC card, but, being an idiot, I managed to pick up one that doesn't work before seeing that note on the OLPC wiki. A map of the surrounding counties takes about 100MB, I believe. I'll go and recompile maps again, once I get one of the approved SDHC cards.

So my fear is giving something I've been working on in order to pursue something unfamiliar to me. Thoughts?
I've made it clear on other posts that I am a Protestant, but over the months I've had a desire to learn more about Orthodoxy and perhaps even become a catachumen.The problem is this. First of all, I'm somewhat of a loner. For me to integrate into any group requires a lot of internal coercion. The second part is that for the past two years I've been involved in a Protestant church. This particular church stresses membership, daily personal devotion and an ecclesiology that straddles the fence between high and low church. For one thing, they stress that discipline from the church is important. They are quasi-Calvinistic in theology (though I doubt they go as far as teaching dual predestination).One week from now, they will have their "membership classes" (which I consider "catechism lite"... awwww.....) which, from what I hear, is followed up with a "membership" interview and a ceremony that involves holding up a certificate and answering "I will" to questions that the preacher asks. I was pondering going to the classes since I already almost finished one of the prerequisites for becoming a member, that is, their "catechism lite" Sunday school classes, Fundamentals Of The Faith. But after devouring all I could about Orthodox Christianity (seriously, orthodoxwiki.org has replaced Tv Tropes as my favorite Wiki site), and after attending the Divine Liturgy, I was wondering if I should reconsider.The problem is that I've spent two years making friendships in the church and I almost feel that trying to "become" Orthodox while still technically being a member would be an act of cuckoldry. Though, I have told some of my friends and acquaintances about my interest in Orthodoxy. This church also has a trait held in common with almost all Protestant confessions, that is, "Mariaphobia" and "Hagiophobia" (saint fear). They also believe that Communion is nothing but a symbol, do in only once a month () and yet somehow uphold that partaking with an impure heart is tantamount to eating and drinking damnation to yourself. So my fear is giving something I've been working on in order to pursue something unfamiliar to me. Thoughts?

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's "Home From The Hunt" safety campaign is reminding hunters to be cautious when setting up treestands prior to deer season.
"Every year someone is injured in a treestand-related incident before deer season opens," said Travis Casper, state hunter education coordinator. "We need hunters to practice treestand safety at all times, not just during hunting season."
If you are scouting a location or trimming shooting lanes and putting up your treestand, even on a trial basis, use the same precautions you would during hunting season:
– Use a full body safety harness.
– Maintain three points of contact when climbing.
– Follow manufacturer instructions.
– Have an emergency signal.
– Tell someone where and when you plan to go.
Keep all your stand-hanging tools or hunting accessories at your fingertips with this great Badlands pack!
Use a lineman-style belt in addition to a full body harness when first putting a treestand in place. This minimizes the chance of falls and potential injury.
As with any piece of equipment, treestands need inspection before use. Long-term placement, such as leaving your tree stand up from one season to the next, has some inherent problems that outweigh any convenience. Exposure to the elements will damage straps, ropes and attachment cords, and potentially lead to breakage and failure. Also, trees are living, growing things and change over time, affecting stability.
"If you have a tree stand that has been in place for an extended length of time, take it down," Casper said. "Inspect it. Replace rusted bolts, frayed straps or, if needed, buy a new tree stand. Your life could depend on it."
In North Carolina, all first-time hunting license buyers must successfully complete a Hunter Education Course, available for free across the state. Go to www.ncwildlife.org to consult the online version of the 2012-13 N.C. Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest or call (919) 707-0031 for more information.

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Real Salt Lake played to a draw in its first preseason game of 2014 on Wednesday, tying the Real Salt Lake-Arizona U-18's 1-1 at Grande Sports World in Casa Grande, Ariz.
MF Javier Morales had the goal for the Claret-and-Cobalt, slotting home a penalty kick in the 52nd minute. RSL-AZ Academy MF Josh Doughty scored the equalizer in the 80th, pouncing on a loose ball in the box to knot the game at 1-1.
The RSL-AZ U-18's started the match brightly, nearly going ahead in the second and seventh minutes. MF Jose Hernandez had the first look, hitting a wicked shot from distance on the right side that knuckled just wide of the far post. MF Jack Gayton came even closer in the seventh, collecting a ball at the top of the box and rifling a low shot off the far post.
Real Salt Lake controlled most of the rest of the half, registering a pair of very good chances in the 19th and 35th minutes. DF Jordan Allen started the first play, breaking free down the right wing and finding FW Alvaro Saborio at the back post. Saborio twisted around to get on the end of the ball, athletically rising before heading just wide of the mark. MF Joao Plata had an even better look in the 35th, just flicking a toe-poke wide of the left post after some nice interplay in the area between Saborio and MF Sebastian Velasquez.
The RSL first-team went ahead in the 52nd minute through Morales's penalty. DF Abdoulie Mansally earned the spot kick, racing into the left side of the area before being brought down by the Academy's right back. Morales had no trouble converting, coolly slotting the PK into the lower-left corner.
Real Salt Lake nearly doubled its advantage on several occasions, coming closest to pulling ahead 2-0 in the 68th minute. MF John Stertzer had the chance, making a hard near post run to get on the end of a DF Rich Balchan cross. Unfortunately for the first-team, Stertzer couldn't quite keep his shot on frame, flicking a header just wide of the left post from the top-right corner of the six.
Doughty equalized for the Academy in the 80th minute. DF Damian German whipped a cross in from the right side, and the ball bounced around in the area before eventually falling to the onrushing Doughty, who half-volleyed the loose ball into the roof of the net.
Both sides had great looks at a winner in the final minutes, with RSL FW Olmes Garcia nearly scoring in the 87th and 89th minutes before Academy FW Sam Gleedle bounced a shot off the post in the 90th.
Real Salt Lake will return to the training field on Thursday, with Head Coach Jeff Cassar scheduled to put the team through a double session at Grande Sports World. The Claret-and-Cobalt will train again on Friday and Saturday before returning to Salt Lake City on Saturday evening. RSL will begin its second preseason training camp next Tuesday, Feb. 4, when the team will travel to Southern California to begin a 10-day camp at the University of California-Irvine.

Bentley's GenerativeComponents Helps Architects Push the Limits of Building Design15 Nov, 2012 By: Nancy Spurling Johnson
Be Inspired Awards finalists incorporate complex curtain walls and swooping ceiling forms that are made easier thanks to the software.
This week at the historic Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square in the heart of Amsterdam, 58 teams — all users of Bentley Systems software — gathered to vie for the top honor in their respective categories at Be Inspired, the company's Innovations in Infrastructure Conference.
At the conference, each Be Inspired Awards finalist (three in each of 20 categories) aimed to convince contest jurors that his or her project was the best of the best, representing "outstanding achievement and innovation in infrastructure design, construction, and operations," according to the contest description. Every contest category represents tremendous feats of design and engineering, but one — Innovations in Generative Design — stands out for the progressive efforts that it embodies.
Generative design is Bentley Systems' terminology for the process at the heart of its GenerativeComponents modeling software, which automates design processes and allows architects to quickly explore a broad range of design iterations for even the most complex buildings. Designs can be refined by either dynamically modeling and directly manipulating geometry, by applying rules and capturing relationships among building elements, or by defining complex building forms and systems through concisely expressed algorithms. The results are remarkable building designs that in many cases would not be possible without the unique software.
Following are the three projects that were finalists in the Be Inspired Awards category of Innovations in Generative Design.
Guardian Towers
A collaboration between LAB Architecture Studio and ERGA Progress, the Guardian Towers complex in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, comprises an 18-story residential tower, 18-story commercial office tower, and a two-level retail podium. LAB architecture studio used GenerativeComponents to develop block structures that are shifted, sliced, and slightly rotated and have offset footprints. The software also allowed for extensive testing and visualization of the double-skinned facades and fritted glazing.
"With GenerativeComponents, we can generate hundreds of design iterations," said Tim Fowler, architect, of LAB Architecture Studio. "We find a 'branch' [of options] we like, then iterate down that branch." Previously, the firm called on interns and other staffers to create a few dozen physical prototypes for consideration.
Guardian Towers designers contended with time constraints, challenging site boundary conditions, and a project owner who changed the building setback and requested other significant changes after the initial design review. "This wouldn't have been possible without GenerativeComponents," Fowler said.
Fowler added that using GenerativeComponents resulted in four primary benefits to the project: reduced time to completion, reduced cost, a better design, and confidence that the unique and complex design was buildable. The project was completed two months ahead of schedule, three weeks of which was due to the rapid documentation process that allowed piling work to begin early. The final design of the 52,000 m2 project came within 30 m2 of the allowable floor space.
Atlanta History Center
The goal of the Stanley Beaman & Sears submission to the Atlanta History Center Design Competition was to reflect the energy coursing through Atlanta, Georgia. The existing space is a series of outdated, darkened galleries and undersized public areas. The proposed $8 million design is a light-filled space featuring a dynamic wing-like ceiling flanked by bright, freshly renovated galleries.
The Atlanta History Center project goal is to make the center a primary destination in the city and "move the story of Atlanta's history link to the future." Jonathan Mickle, architectural designer, said the redesign "needed an iconic feature" to draw the attention of tourists. The interior design aimed to create a welcoming feeling for visitors and present an intuitive flow that promotes exploration, tells a story, and links exhibits, Mickle said.
That flow starts at the entrance, carries through the exhibits, and culminates at an overlook of a park at the opposite end of the structure. The facility features a double-height atrium, a large gathering space that can be rented for private functions, and the exhibit hall.
GenerativeComponents was called into service for designing ceiling panels as well as the continuous, swooping ceiling form that unites the spaces throughout the building and is reminiscent of the wings of a phoenix, a symbol of Atlanta. "With GenerativeComponents," Mickle said, "we were able to map a curve along an arching plane — like a sin curve, but it has more than one horizon along the curve." Three points along a simple plane were used to control the dynamic form.
MicroStation and Bentley Architecture were used to model the existing space as well as the proposed remodel, and everything was visualized using the Luxology render engine.
The Stanley Beaman & Sears design came in second of eight proposals submitted to the Atlanta History Center Design Competition.
Park House
There's nothing else like the new Park House in London's Mayfair neighborhood in terms of its upscale retail center and luxury apartment living. The 500,000-ft2 building occupies a one-acre city block and comprises three levels of retail space and seven floors of office space on the west end and 39 private residential apartments flats on the east end.
Robin Partington Architects employed GenerativeComponents and building information modeling to execute its design vision while overcoming challenges that included unparallel adjacent streets, a misaligned townscape that had larger buildings at one end of the site and smaller buildings at the other, and all the obvious challenges that come with ensuring that a curtain wall design is buildable. Structural challenges included executing the building's unique façade design, accommodating mixed use, proximity to a London underground tunnel, and retail requirements of a world-renowned location.
The design challenges turned into opportunities as the architects created a building that appears smaller than it actually is and that has one larger end and one smaller end to better blend with the mismatched buildings that surround it and that create the illusion that it recedes into its environment. All told, the 645-meter-long building has a striking presence but does not dominate its setting.
GenerativeComponents enabled Robin Partington Architects to explore various iterations of glass technology and its abilities. Using the software and working in cooperation with the cladding system provider, the architects developed a curtain wall design that incorporates only 2% custom-formed panels. The remaining 98% were stock panels that were gripped at opposite corners and bent within the determined stress limits — thus saving a great deal of money.
The basement and cores of Park House are concrete; above that is steel. The west end of the building is steel, residences are concrete to damper sound, and the room is structural steel.
Paul Rogers, senior designer, said, "GenerativeComponents didn't give us the solution; we knew what the solution was and it helped us helped us refine it. It informs the design process." Having a viable 3D model of the structure gave the cladding system provider confidence that the ambitious design would be buildable.
The Park House project was selected as the winner of the Innovations in Generative Design category, and honored during the Be Inspired Awards ceremony, held November 14.

Even More Union Jack
Last month, Geoff posted a selection of images with the Union Jack as decor. The appeal seems widespread — I think it has to do with the symmetry of the design. We see the Stars and Stripes used in decor, but not quite as much as we see the Union Jack.

Ed Stefanski, ever mindful of the value he places on his local ties, reached out late Thursday night to Temple's Dionte Christmas, inviting him to join the Orlando summer league team the 76ers will be sharing with the New Jersey Nets.
Christmas, who had been projected as a second-round selection during Thursday night's NBA draft, went unclaimed. He is likely to have multiple summer league and European offers. The Sixers leave July 2 for Orlando; Stefanski is awaiting a decision whether Christmas will join first-round draft choice Jrue Holiday and second-year big man Marreese Speights on the summer roster.
''He's a great kid, he's local,'' said Stefanski, the Sixers' president/general manager. ''Now, he has to prove it all over again.''
The 6-5 Christmas is the first player in Atlantic 10 history to lead the conference in scoring in three successive seasons; he finished his career with 2,043 points, the fourth Owl to surpass 2,000. He set school records for career three-pointers with 319 and for one season, with 107 as a senior.
If there was anything that kept him from being drafted, it might be his reputation as a volume shooter as opposed to a guy who could come off an NBA bench and provide instant offense. On the other hand, he is known for having a quick release and an ability to catch and shoot off screens.

This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, April 4, 1913
The Progressives made a clean sweep, in the election of town officers, of the six positions on the ticket for which they had many nominations. Not only did they win, but they had a margin from 19 to 69 votes, the largest by which the elections have been won in years. The voting lists contained 306 names, about 50 more than the average for the past five years. Of this number, 245 cast ballots.
The firemen's whist tournament, the final round of which was played Thursday, was won by team No. 1, giving it the possession of the silver cup, which must be won three times to be retained.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, April 1, 1938
At the Town Council meeting, George A. Barker Jr., who had been appointed to a committee to erect street signs in preparation for U.S. Postal route extensions, reported the same had been placed.
From the Newport Daily News, April 2, 1938
The Jamestown Post, American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps held a second rehearsal and business meeting at the Post home Thursday evening. There was a good attendance of members. Plans were discussed in relation to producing a show in the near future.
The Jamestown Post, Sons of the American Legion with 25 members, have also organized a drum and bugle corps, and according to A.V. Richardson, who is director, would welcome gifts of old drums and bugles. They are now practicing on the instruments of their fathers but would like to have their own.
A pole for surf bass fishing has been presented to the Rod and Gun Club, by a member of the club, as a prize for the largest bass caught during the coming season.
From the Newport Daily News, April 5, 1938
President Roosevelt today signed a bill authorizing Rhode Island, through the Jamestown Bridge Commission, to construct a toll bridge across the west passage of Narragansett Bay.
From the Newport Daily News, April 7, 1938
Jamestown Republicans, making their bid for return to office for the first time since 1936, succeeded in electing one of the five members to the Town Council. Interest in the sharply fought election was evidenced when 96 more cast their ballots than last year. A total of 809 out of 1,164 eligible voters cast their ballots, as against 713 out of 1,164 last year.
50 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, April 2, 1963
The annual "bargain" month for dog licenses in Jamestown is now underway in the town clerk's office. All during April tags for male and spayed female dogs will be $1.30; females $5.30. In May the fees will rise to $2.30 and $6.30, so thrifty-minded dog owners are being urged to save a dollar.
No rock blasting at Fort Wetherill is planned for the immediate future. Letters have been received from Sen. John O. Pastore and Rep. Fernand J. St. Germain, both reporting on their protests to the Army Engineers in Waltham, Mass. The government has reserved the land since Jan. 15, 1953, for possible quarry use in connection with a lower bay hurricane barrier.
The Jamestown School Committee and Rhode Island College last night concluded an agreement whereby RIC student teachers will train at the Jamestown school. The committee approved the award of contracts to 14 teachers.
25 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, April 5, 1988
The Town Council wants a developer to pay for a costly groundwater study at the proposed site of a 26-unit cluster subdivision at the former Vieira Farm.
A state task force investigating problems with the new Jamestown Bridge wants the power to subpoena witnesses and grant them immunity from prosecution. The contractors, Clark-Fitzpatrick Inc. and Frank Foundation, claimed that flaws in the design caused the delays, and added expenses would more than double the cost of the bridge.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, April 2, 1998
Some but not all town water customers will see some big increases in costs – up to 70 percent – when they get their water bills for the May, June and July billing quarter.
The proposal to develop a megaport at Quonset-Davisville may require blasting to dredge the Narragansett Bay shipping channel north of Jamestown.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, April 3, 2003
A team of parents and teachers from the Jamestown schools spent the winter analyzing the standardized test results from the 2002 spring testing and gave a March 26 report to parents on their findings. The good news," Kathy Sipala said, "is that both schools are high performing and improving overall with the only area that is not improving being math at the Lawn Avenue School."
Enforceable noise ordinance yet to be drafted by Town Council: The town's new draft ordinance already has been brought to the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union. The town bought a $2,000 decibel meter to measure noise and provided police officers with four hours of training in its use when an effective law is adopted. So far, the meter has been used to document noise levels, but not to pursue arrests.

Never Let Me Go Technical Review (UK - BD RB)
Chris takes a look at the Blu-ray release of the Carey Mulligan/Keira Knightley film
Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley) are three very unusual children. Raised at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school that seeks to prepare them for their place in society, the trio live a relatively idyllic full of play and artistic endeavour. While Tommy and Cathy become very close friends during their time at Hailsham, it is with Ruth that he eventually enters into a relationship. This relationship continues throughout adolescence into young adulthood, upon which they move to a cottage with a number of other 'special' individuals who have come from schools around the country. By this time they have discovered and accepted their role in society, but repressed feelings of jealousy conspire to split them apart and set them off down different paths. Kathy applies to be a 'carer' and loses touch with Tommy and Ruth for almost a decade, but when she eventually reconnects with her long-lost friends she finds that much has changed in the intervening years. Still, her feelings for Tommy have not diminished with the passage of time and seeing him again stirs up long-since buried emotions and reopens old wounds.
Right, it's almost impossible to write a synopsis for this film that doesn't spoil it just a little bit. Even the back of the Blu-ray slipcase says more than it should, proudly announcing something that should have been left for the viewer to discover during the course of the film. Granted it's a fairly early discovery, but given that the film only runs for a little over ninety minutes it's actually quite far along in plot terms. Anyway, I'm determined not to tell you anything about Never Let Me Go other than that it's a romantic drama with a dystopian twist that features strong performances from the three leads (and the child actors that play their younger selves, come to that). Despite its females leads it's not a feel-good film, so don't buy/rent it expecting a gentle romance. The subject matter is actually quite thought-provoking and, well, disturbing. Personally I felt that it needed a little more backstory, but I've not read the novel upon which it is based so that failing could be an unavoidable one. It's not my usual cup of tea but I found that I enjoyed the film a lot more than I expected, although I can't see myself watching it again for some time given the relatively depressing subject matter.
Never Let Me Go has a pretty terrific 2.35:1 (1080/24p AVC) widescreen transfer. It's a nicely detailed effort, with strong textures, some great close-ups and a fine layer of grain for an extremely filmic look. The colour palette is probably best described as bleak, but it suits the depressing inevitability of the subject matter very well and it's actually strangely attractive. Black levels are top-notch and contrast is all-but perfect, while film and digital artefacts are conspicuous by their absence. I've been staring at screen captures at high magnification looking for something to criticise, but concluded that such nit-picking is really unwarranted. It's a fantastic visual effort that really needs to be seen first-hand.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is quite understated but it does its job well. There are some nice ambient touches—mainly during the earlier scenes set at the school in which children laugh and play—but don't go expecting a constant flurry of activity. The track is generally a talkie affair with strong, clear dialogue that is perfectly balanced in the mix. The majority of the surround utilisation comes in the form of Rachel Portman's score, which often sweeps you away on a sea of melancholy. As I've said before a soundtrack doesn't have to be filled with loud explosions and obvious panning effects to be effective and Never Let Me Go's mix is yet another fine example of 'less is more'.
The main attraction here is a thirty-minute making of featurette entitled 'The Secrets of Never Let Me Go' which, as the name implies, features plenty of discussion about the book, the adaptation and the creative process with the cast and crew. The rest of the extras aren't quiote as exciting (from my perspective), as they include three still galleries (Mark Romanek's On-Set Photography, Tommy's Art, National Donor Programme and Hailsham Campaign) and a theatrical trailer. Not the strongest collection of supplemental material then, but there's still some interesting information to be gleaned from the featurette.
Never Let Me Go isn't exactly an enjoyable film due to the rather bleak subject matter, but it is a well-acted, lovingly crafted tale that holds your attention from start to finish. I do think that it could have benefitted from revealing a little more about the larger world surrounding the characters, but as it is an adaptation that might very well be a 'limitation' of the source material (I haven't read the book). The Blu-ray might not win any awards for its bonus material but the same cannot be said of the visuals, which are absolutely great (and the audio is no slouch either). Fans of the film will no doubt love this presentation and I feel confident in recommending it as a blind-buy or rental for those not adverse to films that don't come conform to the usual archetypes.
* Note: The images below are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

It has been out here for a while Gabe.
I saw this in theaters..I really wanted to like it but I felt so uninvolved and emotionally distanced from it. Can't quite pinpoint what the cause was. Definitely worth seeing for the performances though.

Loved this film. I haven't read the book yet but I believe Alex Garland used the bracelets to plug a big plot hole. It could have been clunky but works within the context of the film.

Tom Orry, Editorial Director
GamesCom 2013 is all about next-gen for me. Having pretty much decided that I'm sitting out on the next-gen party until next year, I'm hoping for a few announcements that will make me want a new machine in the New Year. From Microsoft a shiny new Crackdown would work wonders, and hopefully make up for the massive disappointment that was Crackdown 2. I've more or less given up on seeing a new PGR title now, but I can still dream, right?
Sony, in my opinion, still needs to show it's got games worth caring about. Outside of the visually strong Killzone (a series I've never been able to get excited about), the PS4's exclusive launch line-up feels weaker than the Xbox One's and 2014 early bird inFamous: Second Son does absolutely nothing for me. The one beacon of hope is Evolution's DriveClub. Despite a fairly lacklustre showing at E3 (where the game looked pretty ugly to be honest), surely Sony wouldn't allow its showpiece PS4 racer to come out of the gates in November so far behind Forza 5 visually?
Speaking of Forza 5, can we see some new footage please Microsoft.
Simon Miller, Editor-In-Chief
There's only one thing I want from GamesCom this year, and it's something I'm obviously not going to get: Gears Of War 4. Microsoft would have announced it months ago if Epic Games' awesome series was due to be revived at launch of the Xbox One, and the fact Judgement has only been out a short while means I'm probably not getting any COG-fix till 2014 at the earliest.
As there's nothing next-gen that gets me truly excited, then - although Dead Rising 3 could be brilliant - it's the last few current-gen titles I hope to find out about, especially Batman: Arkham Origins. From what I've seen it's just more of the same (which is what I wanted) and even the multiplayer is half-decent.
I will also make it my goal to play Octodad: Dadliest Catch. It's very important...
David Scammell, Deputy News Editor
Though Microsoft has kept relatively quiet about its plans for GamesCom, the platform holder really needs to take the bull by the horns if it's to win back some of the momentum it's lost to Sony so far in the next-gen war. A confident display of its Xbox One launch titles could go some way to win back faith, and I'd like to see Microsoft offer the first look at its second wave, whether it's Lionhead's next project, a new Crackdown or Gears of War 4 for early next year. Whatever it does though, I don't want Microsoft to announce a Kinect-less Xbox One SKU. I'm not all that interested in next-gen Kinect, but any further policy reversals would only do more damage to an already befuddled platform.
Elsewhere, I'd like to see how far DriveClub has come since its underwhelming display at E3, and how other launch titles have progressed (or indeed regressed) now that developers have final devkits in their hands. The difference between Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 on PS4 & Xbox One seems fairly significant right now, but I'd also be interested in seeing how games like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed 4 perform on final-spec hardware.
The dream? GTA 5 on PS4 and Xbox One. But it's too early to start talking about that, right?
Steve Burns, Reviews and Features Editor
In an ideal world I'd like for GTA 5 PC to be announced, at which point I'd quietly withdraw from the conference, the event, and probably this job, and never be seen again.
With the likelihood of that happening slimmer than Microsoft sticking to anything it's said about Xbox One, I'm really looking forward to, um, speaking to people about Xbox One. Because can you imagine what it's like to be a developer right now? 'Sorry, DICE, it's bad news from MS. It's not a console anymore. It's now a fridge. Can you still get that milestone done?'
Apart from that, I'm also interested in seeing more of EA's UFC game. EA MMA was excellent, and this could be even better, although the facial expressions are now so realistic I may actually feel bad for punching these dudes. And for a man with a digital rap sheet that would make every dictator from pre-history to 3000 AD say 'that's my boy', that's saying something.

Summer Institute teaches skills to future computational scientists
Columbus, Ohio (June 22, 2011) – Sixteen outstanding high school students have been selected to attend Summer Institute 2011, where they will spend two weeks detecting new comets for NASA, programming autonomous robots, and tracking a pandemic flu virus for health officials.
The 22nd class of SI students was chosen for the annual residential STEM enrichment program of the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), held this year from July 10-22 on the campus of The Ohio State University (OSU).
Throughout the intensive, two-week program, the Ohio high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors will engage in university-level research on OSC's advanced computer systems, while interacting with scientists who lead tours of their labs and supervise the sponsored research being conducted by students.
"Our program has become much more applications-based over the year, in order for students to understand their projects' applicability to academic and industrial research," said Alan Chalker, Ph.D., SI director. "The Summer Institute provides a support system for the state's best and brightest students, offering them an incredible opportunity to further develop their career skills during the program and beyond."
Working in four project teams, the students solve practical, yet complex, science and engineering problems. In the process, they develop and apply fundamental computing skills, in areas such as programming languages and techniques, operating systems and visualization. The four teams will focus on:
- Obstacle Avoidance Roomba. The team will standardize the precision and speed of a Roomba, an autonomous vehicle used for vacuuming. This project is sponsored by OSU and the National Science Foundation's Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Program.
- Image Processing. This group will locate comets in sun observation images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft. SOHO is a cooperative mission between the European Space Agency and NASA.
- Biomechanical Regulation of Cellular Signaling and Organization. The team will determine how cells communicate with each other and with collagen fibers to grow new tissue in the leg.
- Molecular Dynamics of the Bird Flu Virus. This group will explore one of the scientific approaches that researchers use to study the avian influenza virus for early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease.
During a final ceremony, the students will present their findings to an audience of scientists, OSC staff, key stakeholders and parents.
"[SI is] an excellent place to learn how to be a computational scientist," stated Tom Shkurti, an Upper Arlington High School student who worked on the Roomba project last year. "I gained a renewed appreciation for what people in the artificial intelligence field have to deal with in terms of handling unexpected situations and understanding how you can make a machine mimic the natural thinking process of a human."
EDITORS: The following identifies the students selected for SI. The list is arranged by last name and identifies the high school each attends and his or her hometown.
About the Ohio Supercomputer Center: The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is a catalytic partner of Ohio universities and industries, providing a reliable high performance computing and high performance networking infrastructure for a diverse statewide/regional community including education, academic research, industry, and state government.

Healthcare is growth vertical for Alarm & Suppression
GLENVILLE, N.Y.—Hospitals have proved to be a strong vertical for Alarm & Suppression Inc., a full-service fire company based here.
The healthcare sector has been adding jobs nationally and has been a bright spot during the economic downturn, according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal.
In upstate New York, hospitals are continually renovating and expanding, providing ongoing work, Brad Nelson, project engineer/senior technician for Alarm & Suppression, told Security Systems News.
"There does seem to be a lot of healthcare work going on right now," Nelson said. And he said that while Alarm & Suppression works in almost any type of vertical, its experience in healthcare facilities has made it "increasingly good and very efficient in that type of environment."
Two facilities that Alarm & Suppression has been working with are St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, N.Y., and the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center, Nelson said.
He said Alarm & Suppression, which he described as a "mom-and-pop type of alarm company" founded about two decades ago and now with about 20 employees, started working with St. Peter's about seven years ago. The hospital has a Notifier by Honeywell alarm system and Alarm & Suppression is a Notifier by Honeywell distributor, so it was hired to do the hospital's inspection, testing and maintenance, he said.
But at that time, Nelson said, the hospital also was "starting a multi-year master facilities plan, so right away we started getting contracts for new projects inside the hospital."
Alarm & Suppression started work at the Stratton VA in 2008, doing a large project that "was a total gut of the old fire alarm system and a total brand-new install with the Notifier equipment," Nelson said. One of the challenges, he said, was that the Veterans Administration had "a very specific voice evacuation sequence they wanted to happen, and there was a lot of equipment that needed to be installed to make that happen."
The project finished in 2010, but Nelson said Alarm & Suppression continues to be involved with ongoing renovations at the hospital and "we're also doing a new nuclear medicine building behind the hospital."
At both facilities, Nelson said, Alarm & Suppression has installed graphics computers made by Notifier that can display the entire floor plan of each hospital with a click of a mouse and can zoom in on any detector.
"The graphics computer is one big thing that's definitely a trend we've been seeing," Nelson said.

MASON COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - The grandmother of a Kentucky state police trooper killed in a crash is telling us how he'll be remembered.
25-year-old Trooper Anson Tribby died Tuesday night after police say his pick-up slammed into a tow truck on I-64 in Clark County.
He was not on duty at the time.
Family members say they're devastated.
"The good ones die young," said Trooper Tribby's grandmother, Sara Tribby.
He was only 25 years old, a state trooper, husband, son, and grandson.
"He'd come and sit down by me and ask, 'How are you today, mamaw?' and I'd said, 'Fine, Blake. How are you doing?' and he'd say, 'Good,'" said Sara Tribby.
His grandmother Sara Tribby is still in shock that she's now left with one grandchild.
"I hope I don't live to bury my child. I never even considered my grandchildren," said Sara Tribby.
His grandmother says she won't remember her Blake as anything but a sweet, quiet boy who was special to many.
"He just stood out, and it seems that way. That there's just something about some people that just have a glow about them. They're doing good, and they're a good person," said Sara Tribby.
Coming from a long line of law enforcement men in his family, Tribby's grandmother told us she knew some day they'd get bad news like this.
"It was just running thru my mind. Was it Bob? Was it Pam? Was it Blake?" said Sara Tribby.
But she never imagined it would be her grandson.
"I guess we were lucky. We went all of those years, like 50 or 60 years, and this was the first," said Sara Tribby.
But his family tells us they are comfortable knowing Tribby died with several people who loved him and a job he was devoted to.
"He's perfect. And he loved his job," said Sara Tribby.
Tribby was a graduate of Mason County High School and then the University of Kentucky. His father served with the Maysville Police Department for almost two decades before becoming the Mason County Jailer. His grandfather was an officer in Washington, D.C.
Tribby's grandmother tells us the funeral arrangements have not yet been made. But his services will be in Mason County.

Common Build Infrastructure/Getting Started/Build In Eclipse
To run a build with Athena, you need to do four things:
- Fetch required basebuilder & Athena projects into your workspace, then close the org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder project.
- Fetch your releng project (if already created) or create it as a copy of the template project.
- Configure your releng project to define what to build, how to build, how to test, and how to publish.
- Run build.xml
Fetch basebuilder & Athena projects
At minimum, you will need these two projects in your workspace (or elsewhere on disk):
- org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder (contains Eclipse Platform, PDE + tools/scripts needed to build)
- org.eclipse.dash.common.releng (contains tools/scripts to communicate & extend PDE)
- your.projects.name.here.releng (contains configurations and settings to drive PDE for building and testing)
The simplest way to get the first two projects is to download this athena.cvs.psf.
Next, open Eclipse, and do
File > Import > Team > Team Project Set. Browse for the athena.cvs.psf file you downloaded above, and import it. You should end up with two new workspace projects.
Close the basebuilder project
Because the basebuilder project is used OUTSIDE of eclipse, it does not need to be open, or to have everything properly compiled, to function. In particular, due to licensing reasons, there is at least one jar (ie., j2ee.jar or javamail.jar) which is required to have everything in the project compile. This cannot be included in the project because it is not available under an EPL-compatible license.
The workaround is therefore to put the jar into the project by hand, or to simply close the project and ignore the compilation errors.
Fetch or create releng project
|Sample Athena Releng Projects
CVS Source
SVN Source
To fetch your project's releng folder, you will need to know where it is located in CVS or SVN.
To create a new one, you can copy from the sample project then configure using the examples at right:
Note that some projects include a
psfs/ folder within their releng project to facilitate checking out sources, as in step 1 above.
Configure your .releng project's build.properties
Required settings
The following properties must be set:
projectid=technology.foo zipPrefix=MyFoo version=0.5.0 buildType=N mainFeatureToBuildID=org.eclipse.foo.all testFeatureToBuildID=org.eclipse.foo.test
# if project is incubating, insert "-incubation" into # generated zip file names; otherwise omit incubation=-incubation
# set path and version of JVM to use; must set a variable for # each Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment (BREE) used in plugins # Or just use the default value provided by Eclipse, JAVA_HOME JAVA14_HOME=${JAVA_HOME} JAVA50_HOME=${JAVA_HOME} JAVA60_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}
Define binary dependencies using
dependencyURLs and/or
repositoryURLs. For more examples, see Defining Binary Dependencies:
repositoryURLs=\ http://download.eclipse.org/athena/repos/eclipse-Update-3.5.2-201002111343.zip IUsToInstall=\ org.eclipse.sdk.feature.group+org.eclipse.sdk.ide dependencyURLs=\ http://path/to/some/required-SDK.zip
Define what steps to perform. To run tests w/o building first, see Testing:
#default: buildUpdate,buildTests,generateDigests,testLocal,publish,cleanup build.steps=buildUpdate
If you require SVN or do not have the test framework plugins in your map file, you will need this property too, or to perform the equivalent set up manually.
# To permit automatic downloads of non-EPL compatible code, set this to property to "I accept" thirdPartyDownloadLicenseAcceptance="I accept"
Optional settings
You can also set other PDE variables and compiler settings in your releng project's build.properties:
compilerArg=-enableJavadoc -encoding ISO-8859-1 flattenDependencies=true parallelCompilation=true generateFeatureVersionSuffix=true
Run a build
your.project.releng/build.xml, then
Run As > Ant Build.
- Ensure you have CVS or SVN installed on your machine.
- If the compiler fails with errors like "Cannot find Object", make sure you have a JAVA_HOME for every BREE in your manifests. Please see the Common Build Infrastructure/Getting Started/FAQ.
A log of the build will may appear as
your.project.releng/buildlog.latest.txt, if you have configured a launch configuration to do so. Otherwise a complete buildlog.txt should appear in the destination folder where the build is created, eg.,
- If you do not yet have tests available in your repository (or have not linked them from your map file(s), you may receive errors running the "test" or "testLocal" step.
Troubleshooting / server setup
If needs be, you may find additional information related to troubleshooting or server configuration here.
- Common Build Infrastructure/Virtual Server Setup/Fedora
- Common Build Infrastructure/Virtual Server Setup/MacOSX
- Common Build Infrastructure/Virtual Server Setup/WinXP
Next Steps
Once you can build in Eclipse, you might want to get a job added to Hudson so you can run continuous integrations or nightlies, then start publishing to download.eclipse.org.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — General Motors CEO Mary Barra will get an honorary degree when she speaks Saturday at the University of Michigan's commencement ceremony.
Barra is scheduled to talk in the morning as about 9,500 graduate, professional and undergraduate students get their diplomas. The university plans to give her an honorary doctor of engineering degree.
The Graduate Employees Organization and the Student Union have objected to Barra's speech. GM faces multiple federal investigations because of the delayed recall of 2.6 million cars for faulty ignition switches linked to 13 deaths.
The ceremony is also the last for Mary Sue Coleman as university president. Coleman is retiring.
