The Festival that was Bonnaroo '09: Day One
June 16, 2009 | 9:13am ET
After four long days, which featured torrential downpours, grueling heat, lots of mud, and an over a hundred of music's best acts, the 2009 edition of the Bonnaroo Music Festival is now and will forever will be a memory. Join us, while we remember and review the festival that was Bonnaroo '09…
Pouring rain and ferocious lighting served as the backdrop for most of Bonnaroo day one, making for some extremely muddy situations. Yet for those willing to brave the elements on Thursday evening, there were highlights to be found.
Alberta Cross:
That Tent: 5:30-6:30
The current musical scene, and even Bonnaroo's own lineup, seems to be dominated by polished indie rock bands using as many computers to produce their sounds as actual instruments. In a digital world, Alberta Cross is an analog band. The New York outfit's dirty, haunting vocals and scratchy guitars are rough around the edges, refreshing and honest, garnering them comparisons to older souls like Neil Young and The Band. Their stage presence may be the only thing that didn't seem polished about their Bonnaroo performance, and maybe the only place they showed their age. You couldn't tell by listening, but the guys looked a little nervous, maybe a little overwhelmed by practically getting Bonnaroo started for the weekend. But their music never faltered, sounding just as haunting and passionate as their recordings. – MW
Janelle Monáe:
The Other Tent: 5:45-6:45
Things started off on an interesting note as the strange personalities of Janelle Monáe took to the Other Tent's stage. With a full band dressed in dapper dress wear, the cummerbund toting soulful singer stared crazy eyed at the audience through her intense wails. A prince-esque guitarst, hiply dressed DJ (the only one not in uniform), and drummer accompanied Janelle's wacky stylings. Bursting with energy and a unique electro meets R&B meets soul aesthetic, she was an excellent surprise and a great way to kick off Bonnaroo. – DL
White Rabbits:
This Tent: 6:45-7:45
Brooklyn's White Rabbits helped push Bonnaroo into full swing, bringing their own blend of insanely percussive, piano driven, indie rock to the Manchester farm. With up to three drummers at once, all feverishly knocking against snare rims, drum casings, and drum heads, there was a more than apt array of beats to dance to. As the guys played on, the crowd stared on intently as sweat dripped from the faces of the hardworking lads. Their power was cut briefly mid set, but they were able to utilize the crowd's clapping abilities to smoothly circumvent an otherwise undesirable moment. A solid showing from a band on the fringe of popularity. – DL
MURS:
With Delta Spirit sidelined by air trouble, Californian hip-hopper Nick Carter, or MURS as he's more properly known, had the fortune, or the bad luck – depending on your perspective, of being the lone performer gracing any of the festival's five major stages for a good thirty minutes. MURS accepted this challenge with open arms and responded with 60 minutes of rhymes and beats that have allowed him to become the self-acclaimed president of hip-hop. The crowd responded with equally open arms, especially during the 30 seconds when Carter sampled Sublime's "Santeria". Yes, "Santeria", because that's the kind of stuff that happens at Bonnaroo. – AY
Hockey:
Portland, Oregon new wave rockers Hockey came to Bonnaroo having not yet released a debut full-length – that's coming this later this summer. With a fresh sense of humor, lead singer Benjamin Grubin cracked a joke about the band's obscurity remarking "here's a song that nobody knows" before launching into one of its more upbeat tunes. For an 8:15 set on the first day, Hockey came out with their guns a blazin' which translates into a lead singer doubling as a percussionist on occasion and the captivation of a nearly full tent. In the end, the performance proved impressive, and likely allowed Hockey to sleep well Thursday night knowing that it just recruited a tent full of new fans. – AK
Passion Pit:
This Tent: 11:15-12:15
As soon as the synth-pop dance beats of Passion Pit rushed over the ears Roo'ers, This Tent melted into a collective bass-heavy dance party. Yes, frontman Michael Angelakos' falsetto was difficult to interpret at times, but there's no misunderstanding a perfectly crafted dance beat and the crowd understood exactly what the elctro quintet was trying to say: dance. As it relates to the actual songs performed, perhaps the biggest highlight was "I've Got Your Number", a track released on the band's Chunk of Change EP in late '08. – AK
Delta Spirit:
This Tent: 12:30 – 1:30
Five-and-a-half hours after their original timeslot was to begin, the gentlemen of Delta Spirit finally took the stage at This Tent. Yet despite the delay, and a lack of Passion Pit-like hype, the San Diego outfit had little trouble attracting a crowd once their cigarette-driven, ravaging grunge rock resonated aloud. Intensity likely also played a factor, as it's hard to imagine anyone could break the spell that is frontman Matthew Vasquez's electrifying presence and equally captivating lyrics. And all that was before a cover of Tom Waits' "San Diego Serenade" and several new songs were dished out for all to hear. It's hard to describe a band, especially one as still unknown as Delta Spirit, as possessing a quality of magic, but when incidents such as the pouring rain ending upon the last chord struck, it's hard to come up with any other reasonable explanation. – AY
Tobacco:
Troo Music Lounge: 1:00-2:00
The rain had just started to pick up again around 1 am and a sizable crowd trickled in trying to squeeze under the canopies outlining the Troo Music Stage. By this point everyone had given up on trying to stay dry, so when Tobacco came out the soaking began. The Black Moth Super Rainbow vocoder kicked things off with the ruckus "Street Trash" that led into a sticky sweet set covering much from his solo record Fucked Up Friends with a few extra surprises. His rare set had a little help onstage from a female friend as he reworked the songs for a fresh live taste. "Berries That Burn" and "Side 8" grooved harder as he incorporated new breakdowns and slight tweaks into the melody. Tobacco managed to provide one of those late night surprises that blew people away. Just one question though, who were those creepy masked characters? – EM

Have you ever had a failure analysis report back from your ESP supplier that stated the cause was "well conditions"? We thought so.
Now, say you've bought a new car and after a month it breaks down. The dealer says the failure was caused by road conditions, which are not covered by warranty, so you'll have to buy a new one. You're not going to be happy.
Similarly, we don't buy the well conditions culture of our industry. Instead, we believe in getting the right equipment, for the right environment, with the right processes to support its use.
We've now done this successfully for so many operators, that we've built software to help you track artificial lift failure data over time and drive permanent improvement.
This shows pump install date vs. run time. The red line is the maximum that any pump could have ran, based on the date it was installed. You can see that for this specific project there were many short runlives early on but from mid-2012, something happened and the equipment started running properly.
The reason for the sudden improvement was data analysis, leading to our equipment specification change. The result: one happy operator.
If you're getting early runlife failures and short runlives, let's talk. You have nothing to lose and a great deal to gain. We'll explain how you can get the most out of your pumps, reduce pump expenditure and get significant improvements on your investment.


We are beginning a new unit of study in English Language Arts this week – poetry! Going through this new unit I discovered a poem by Emily Dickenson – Autumn. And that reminded me of something Adrien shared with me long ago.
More serious analysts of literature will tell you that the meter of Dickenson's poetry is common meter – the same rhythmic pattern used in hymns. But for me, the Yellow Rose is indelibly etched into my head every time I try to read Dickenson. And now I dare you to get it out of your head as well.
Nope. I must be immune to the Yellow Rose even tho I bought the Mitch Miller record when I was about 12. I hope you can read Emily's poetry without sounding like a Texas Cowboy! Her music is what I can't get out of my mind.


I am about to receive an Oric-1 which has RGB video and RF output. The problem is that I do not have a monitor that accepts RGB input and I do not have a tv with scart or rf input. I do have a commodore monitor with composite in. Does anybody know if there is a composite signal somewhere inside the oric 1 that I can use?
it sounds like there are probably ways of achieving this. One of our members, Carlsson is involved in the thread, so hopefully he can respond and shed more light on this!
I'm not sure how to get composite video from an Oric. As far as I remember, they output varying signal strength depending on batch and model. I seem to recall even getting a SCART RGB output was a bit of a fiddle with lots of capacitors and stuff just to stabilize the signal. Some of the newer, French made (?) Oric-1's or if those were Atmoses apparently output better signals than the early UK models do but I might might be wrong about this.
The composite video hack as described in the thread might fail if the signal going to the RF modulator is too weak to be used as composite video input to the monitor, it might be enough for the RF modulator to work with. I have read about this for a number of other home computers and video games, that you can't always expect that the RF modulator is fed a nice 0.7 Vpp (or if it should be 1.0 Vpp) signal that you can tap. Even the ZX Spectrum might be on the verge for this hack to work, depending which monitor or TV you use in the end, but usually it works fine.
Which Commodore monitor do you have, an 1702, 1802 or 1902? I suppose in theory there probably are RGB to composite converters, whether they work well with the signal levels output from the computer or not is to find out.
As carlsson already told you, the Oric video signal is very weak. Although it only need the usual mod, it must be not enough to feed a good composite video signal to you monitor.
Does this mean that the signal is to weak, or is something else wrong?
Looks like the video signal is fine, but the computer is stuck in a reset loop or has some other problem.
Thank you for the hint! I read that the 5V line should be stable before the reset. I used the switch on a power supply to turn the otic-1 on and that caused the problem. The oric works if I turn on the power supply before I connect it to the oric. My Oric is modded It has a switch and the two memory chips has been replaced. Furthermore an extra Rom has been added. I can switch between "Oric extended basic V1.0 1983 Tangerine" with 47870 bytes free and "Oric Extended Basic v1.2 1984 Tangerine" with 37631 bytes free. Does anybody know what the intention of this mod is, apart from the memory upgrade? Originally it was an 16k Oric-1.
Well, you can change ROM version. The early ones 1.0 and perhaps 1.1 were quite buggy, which is one of the reasons why the Oric Atmos was released. It uses the same motherboard, but with newer ROM version, a case in black and red instead of white and a keyboard with real keys. The Atmos has 64K out of which 48K are usable for programs, I believe the other 16K shadowed behind ROM is used for floppy drive controller ROM. So as far as I can tell, by toggling the switch to 1.2, your Oric would rather be Atmos compatible, in particular if the RAM chips also have been upgraded from 16K to 64K.
Nice, the 1.0 ROM is the Oric-1 original one, full of bugs. It was promptly replaced with the one in the Atmos, version 1.1.
The ROM 1.2 is a hack done by Pascal Leclerc (http://pleclerc.free.fr/Oric/OricPage.html) with some enhancements over the old 1.1 version.
From the back it looks like these have been hand soldered on the board for this mod. Also the socket for the second ROM and the 74ls00n below the speaker have been soldered on. I'm not sure about the sound chip and the resistor that goes across it.
Way cool!. You have an original 16KB model upgraded to 64KB. The RAM ICs can't be seen clearly; but they must be a pair of uPD4464. That's why they look hand soldered, IC11 aswell.
Both ROM sockets have been filled and the usually empty second socket is occupied with the old Oric-1 ROM. I think it's better to use a bigger EPROM (27256) and burn both ROMs, then you can use a switch to select the active ROM (after doing some mods to the EPROM).
The other mods in the back of the motherboard look like the mandatory service bulletin mods, mostly designed to improve reliability of the Oric-1.
As you have the PCB now, it looks extremely close to what a Nova 64 PCB looks like. The Nova 64 is a extremely rare Atmos clone built in Yugoslavia.


BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Two Palestinian refugees were killed in Yarmouk camp on Monday in clashes between Free Syrian Rebels and Syrian regime forces, a Palestinian group in Syria said.
Muhammad al-Asi and Muhammad Zuheir Dusouq were both shot dead in the Damascus refugee camp, the Taskforce for Palestinians in Syria said.
On Tuesday, several shells landed in the camp causing material damage.
Syrian regime forces continue to prevent Yarmouk camp residents from leaving the camp for the third consecutive day. Power and other services in Yarmouk have been seriously interrupted over the past 8 months and most hospitals have closed due to a lack of medicine and equipment.
On Saturday, a Palestinian was shot dead in in Daraa refugee camp during clashes.
In June, UNRWA's commissioner general described Palestinian refugee camps in Syria as "theaters of war."
"Killings, kidnappings, poverty, destruction and fear have become part of daily life," Filippo Grandi said.
More than half of the 530,000 Palestinian refugees registered in Syria have been displaced and 15 percent have fled abroad, including 60,000 to neighboring Lebanon and over 7,000 to Jordan.
In March, the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria said that over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Syria conflict, with that number thought to have increased significantly since then.


More than 200 people were hurt after the 6.4-magnitude tremor hit the east coast of the country.
Rescuers are working to free people trapped after a strong earthquake struck Taiwan's east coast, killing at least six people and leaving another 76 missing.
Several buildings have caved in and others are tilting dangerously after the 6.4-magnitude tremor.
Videos and photos show several buildings in the worst-hit Hualien county leaning at sharp angles, their lowest floors crushed into mangled heaps of debris. Firefighters climbed ladders hoisted against windows to reach residents inside apartments.
The shallow quake caused at least four buildings to cave in and shift on their foundations. This was likely caused by soil liquefaction, when the ground beneath a building loses its solidity under stress such as that caused by an earthquake.
A maintenance worker who was rescued after being trapped in the basement of the Marshal Hotel said the force of the earthquake was unusual, even for a region used to such seismic events.
Two employees of the hotel were killed in the disaster, CNA said. Taiwan's National Fire Agency said rescuers freed another employee from the rubble.
Other buildings are slanted at alarming degrees and rescuers have used ladders, ropes and cranes to move residents to safety.
Six people were killed in the quake, while 256 others were injured and 76 unaccounted for, according to the fire service. The CNA reported that seven had been killed.
The force of the tremor buckled roads and disrupted electricity and water supplies to thousands of households.
Japan's foreign ministry said nine Japanese were among the injured. Six mainland Chinese were also hurt, according to Chinese reports.
Rescuers focused on the Yunmen Tsuiti residential building that was tilted at a near 45-degree angle, erecting long steel beams to prevent it from collapsing.
More than 100 rescue workers are around the building, including military personnel and volunteers. Away from the disaster area, the atmosphere in the city was calm as rain beat down on largely deserted streets.
Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen moved to reassure the public that every effort would be made to rescue survivors. In a post on her official Facebook page, Ms Tsai said she had arrived in Hualien on Wednesday to review rescue efforts.
Ms Tsai said she "ordered search and rescue workers not to give up on any opportunity to save people, while keeping their own safety in mind".
Bridges and some highways along Taiwan's east coast are closed pending inspections.
With aftershocks continuing to hit after the quake, residents have been directed to shelters, including a newly built baseball stadium, where beds and hot food were provided.

Lonnie Ali Talks about Being a Caregiver for Someone Living with Parkinson's Disease
Muhammad Ali will forever be known as "The Greatest," the fighter with skills and charisma our world has never seen previously. He was a champion not just in the ring, but also in his long-term battle with Parkinson's Disease, something that ultimately claimed his life last week. The world recently lost not only an amazing boxer, but an amazing person who used his fame to spread awareness about the disease and to raise money for research in the hopes that one day we may find a cure for Parkinson's disease. Today's Caregiver recently sat down with Lonnie Ali, beloved wife and partner of the late Muhammad Ali, to speak with her about her role as a caregiver and as a devoted national care giving advocate as well as what she hopes for others that are struggling to manage Parkinson's disease.
Muhammad Ali was known for constantly maintaining a positive attitude, despite his health obstacles. When asked what role she believed attitude plays in the well-being of a caregiver of someone living with Parkinson's disease, Lonnie responded that a positive attitude was vital, along with the realization that Parkinson's is a disease that can be managed. It isn't a disease that should be feared and Lonnie has found, from personal experience, that the more one knows about Parkinson's disease, the more empowered one can become. By putting things in perspective and looking at the bigger picture, an individual is able to become a better caregiver because it encourages a positive outlook. It is also extremely important to convey this outlook to the person that is living with Parkinson's disease.
However, a positive attitude doesn't just allow caregivers to improve on their duties as a caregiver, it is also important for their personal health and well-being. Lonnie emphasizes that it is imperative for caregivers to go out and socialize and try to retain some of the normalcy and routine that they had before they cared for a Parkinson's patient. Lonnie also points out the fact that caregivers don't have to deal with the struggle alone; relying on family members and their support team is vital. Other people are going through the same thing and can help.
One of the most important things to remember is that you can't care for anyone else unless you take care of yourself first. Lonnie Ali discusses the importance of taking personal time and not feeling guilty when you do. Lonnie admitted feeling guilt herself at times when she would leave to do something for herself or spend time with her friends, but she tries to constantly remind herself that she is entitled to take time for herself and that it benefits everyone involved when she does.
Lonnie Ali also created a Young-Onset Care Partner Tip Sheet to help family caregivers deal with the diagnosis and management of Parkinson's Disease.One of the tips that she offers is to get counseling or to attend support group sessions. Lonnie believes that these support groups are extremely helpful for caregivers to connect on a social level, as well as gaining support for the whole care giving process. It helps to meet with people who have been through or are going through the same thing with their loved ones or patients. Caregivers are able to gain insight and advice for each other and figure out ways to overcome the challenges they may face so that they can better manage Parkinson's disease. Lonnie claims that these groups offer invaluable support. She warns that not every community has a Parkinson's caregiver support group, but where they do exist, she encourages caregivers to take advantage of such a meaningful resource.
Lonnie Ali also goes in depth about her husband Muhammad Ali and how they both strived to remain positive so as to serve as an example and model for those that may be facing the same struggle. Lonnie explained that her husband wanted to help thousands of others by raising money and awareness for Parkinson's disease. Much like Michael J. Fox, Muhammad Ali was able to use his celebrity to garner money for Parkinson's research --not only from Congress, but from private, individual, philanthropic donations. According to Lonnie, Muhammad Ali's view was always: "I work with the cards dealt to me, but I don't let it define who I am, and I don't let it stop me from doing what I want to do and what I need to do."
Lonnie understands the impact that celebrities like her late husband, Muhammad Ali, and Michael J. Fox have on those living with Parkinson's disease or those caring for someone with Parkinson's disease. People look to them to give them the right information and to give them the right resources; it's a big responsibility. We, at Senior Helpers, agree with Lonnie Ali in her assertion that the main objective for anyone caring for an individual with Parkinson's disease is to improve the quality of live for the patient to the best of their ability.

The poll season is not even halfway through and the election commission has already seized Rs219 crore in cash — that is enough to fund 500 primary schools in a state for a year.
Former election commissioner SY Quraishi told dna about the various means used by political parties to transport such "illegal" or black money to fund the polls. Paying electricity and water bills of voters, giving currency notes to buy liquor, transporting money in ambulances and even tying up with local shops to provide free liquor to voters are among the methods adopted by parties.
"There are at least 40 such ways… Political parties play a cat and mouse game with the election commission," he said. Quraishi has penned down these methods in his book, The Undocumented Wonder, The Making of the Great Indian Election. The book is slated for release during the elections.
Quraishi assumed charge as the 17th CEC on July 30, 2010. He held the position of election commissioner since June 30, 2006.
The most common goodies on offer are money, liquor bottles, LPG cylinders and food packets. "We have come across instances where candidates pay electricity and water bills, and organise mass feasts." In small towns and rural belts films are publicly screened to entice voters.
Also, candidates tie up with liquour shops. Voters are usually given ten rupee notes, bearing a particular serial number, which they can exchange for a bottle of liquor.
Months before elections begin, the commission starts monitoring large monetary transactions in banks. "We depend on our official intelligence and keep tabs on all such transactions," Quraishi said.
Despite all checks, the problem stills persists. So who is to blame? Quraishi said it was the prolonged legal procedure. "As EC we get an FIR registered in such seizures. Then it becomes the duty of the judiciary to act on these cases. The cases drag in courts for years." He said there was not a single case to date where action has been taken.

Q: Some questions regarding Problem 18.13 of Munkres's Topology
Problem. Let $A \subseteq X$. Let $f:A \to Y$ be continuous. Let $Y$ be Hausdorff. Prove that if $f$ is extended to a continuous function $g: \overline{A} \to Y$, then $g$ is uniquely determined by $f$.

My questions are,

*

*Is the condition $Y$ is Hausdorff necessary? More specifically, is the there any counterexample to the following proposition?

Let $A \subseteq X$. Let $f:A \to Y$ be continuous. Let $Y$ be $T_1$-space. Prove that if $f$ is extended to a continuous function $g: \overline{A} \to Y$, then $g$ is uniquely determined by $f$.

*If the answer to the above question is negative then is the converse of the problem true? More specifically, is the following proposition true?

Let $A \subseteq X$. Let $f:A \to Y$ be continuous. Suppose that $f$ is extended to a unique continuous function $g: \overline{A} \to Y$. Then $Y$ is Hausdorff.

A: The condition is necessary. Let $X$ be the space $\{a,b\}$ with the topology whose open subsets are the empty subset and $X$. The adherence of $\{a\}$ is $X$. And you can extend a the continuous function $f:X\rightarrow X$ on $\{a\}$ $f(a)=a$ by any  element of $X$.

A: Here is an answer to your first question.  If we let $X = \mathbb{R}$ with the standard topology and let $Y$ be $\mathbb{R}$ with the finite complement topology, then any function $f: X \to Y$ with $f^{-1}(y)$ a finite set of points for all $y \in Y$ is continuous.  This is because the closed sets of $Y$ are the finite sets.  If $C \subseteq Y$ is closed, then $f^{-1}(C)$ is a finite collection of points, which is also closed in $X$.  Let $A = [0,1) \subseteq X$ and $f = \operatorname{Id}$.  Then we can extend $f$ to $\bar{A}$ by either $g(1) = 1$ or $g(1) = 10$. And $Y$ is $T_1$.

A winter hug. - A Life From Scratch.
If you're near me in Chicago you know for over a week now it's just been rough.
The snow is relentless. The temps are painful. I'm all about cozy pajamas days inside with the kids, but after awhile you start to go just a little crazy. Let me rephrase that. The option of slamming your head into a wall doesn't sound all that bad.
It was day 5 (or 6 – who knows, I've lost count) of being stuck again inside with either a sick kiddo and/or bad weather. It was time to bring out the big guns. When your big outing of the day is walking running to the mail box while being slapped with icy cold wind, sometimes you just need a hug. I texted my girl friend the other day that the idea to leave my home and fill up my tank with gas was exciting to me. My goodness. Let this chicken corn chowder recipe fix all that.
It doesn't cure the flu – or chicken pox (???) – or magically bring on 40, heck I'll even take 30 degree temps, but what it does do is (briefly) warm you from the inside out. It doesn't get better than chicken corn chowder in a bread bowl on a chilly night, does it? Bonus that this one comes together beautifully and tastes almost good enough to make you forgot that tomorrow's high is -17. Almost.
In a large stock pot, fry the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove from the pan, leaving the drippings, and set aside.
Peel and chop the potatoes into bite sized chunks. Slice the scallions very thin and separate the greens from the whites.
Place the potatoes and white scallion pieces into the stock pot and cook over medium heat until the scallions have softened, 2 or 3 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
Pour in the milk, chicken stock, Old Bay, thyme, parsley, cayenne, salt, and pepper, stirring well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Add corn (If using fresh corn, cut from the cob with a sharp knife.
Use the back of your knife to release the pulp from the cob.), chicken, and green chiles. Cook over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Garnish with scallion greens, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
The tone of desperation is coming through loud and clear here! I so hope you guys get some reprieve soon! This looks seriously amazing and perfect comfort food for this nonsense.
That looks so good Courtney!! I have a recipe for a lighter corn chowder – you can check it out here – it tastes like summer in a bowl!
Okay, here is the link!

Utah State University - » Restoration expert: Trail won't affect riverside residents
Restoration expert: Trail won't affect riverside residents
January 25th, 2016 Posted in Environment, Logan News
By Jake Hansen
A continuous trail along the Logan River wouldn't interfere with the joys of riverside living for current residents, a restoration plan research liaison told the Logan City County on Tuesday evening.
While updating the council on river restoration efforts, Utah State University wildlife ecology and management expert Frank Howe said the trail could be built as part of an effort to make the river less prone to flooding and increase wildlife diversity, while still accommodating the expectations of current residents.
"We are not actually thinking of running the trail through people's yards," Howe said. "I think there are opportunities for us to take the trail away from the river, and when we have the opportunity to bring the trail back down to the river."
The Logan River Task Force, of which Howe is the chair, surveyed 258 riverside residents about what they are willing to do to help the restoration project. 55 percent of residents responded to the survey. The details of that survey have yet to be released but the task force plans to implement residents' concerns into the plan.
There remains resistance, though, on the part of some riverside homeowners.
"Why change something that has been very effective and that no one will see?" asked Bob Sears, a riverside resident who said he never received a survey. "They have been trying this for 20 years and nothing happens. We've never been close to having a flood either."
Mayor H. Craig Petersen wants to keep it that way. He reiterated his belief that a restoration plan "could help reduce the threat of flooding."
Sears and others will have another opportunity to voice their concerns when the next in a series of public meetings on the restoration plan is held Feb. 11 at the Logan River Golf Course.

TSA requires rail and airports to strengthen cybersecurity
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Transportation Security Administration is issuing new directives and recommendations aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity defenses of U.S. rail and airport operators.
The Biden administration said the requirements made public Thursday are part of a broader effort at protecting the nation's critical infrastructure from ongoing cyberespionage and a surge in disruptive ransomware attacks.
"These new cybersecurity requirements and recommendations will help keep the traveling public safe," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. He had previously previewed the new regulations in October.
The new TSA directives require most passenger and freight rail operators to identify a cybersecurity point person, report incidents within 24 hours to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, conduct a vulnerability assessment and develop a contingency and recovery plan in case of malicious cyber activity. They go into effect at the end of the year and the TSA said it is making similar changes to requirements for airport operators.
The TSA said it is recommending but not mandating cybersecurity requirements to some smaller and lower-risk rail and airport operators.
The new regulations are similar to ones issued in May for pipeline operators following the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack that disrupted gas supplies in several states.
Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that the TSA has crafted new cybersecurity directives without enough transparency and input from affected industries.
"We believe that care must be taken to avoid unnecessarily burdensome requirements that shift resources away from responding to cyberattacks to regulatory compliance," a group of Republican senators said in an October letter to DHS' Office of Inspector General asking for a review of TSA's process for developing new cybersecurity regulations.
Victoria Newhouse, a TSA deputy assistant administrator, said at a congressional hearing Thursday that the agency had worked closely with private industry officials in crafting the regulations. She said that included a classified briefing with freight and passenger rail executives earlier this week to share intelligence reports about cyber threats to their industry and to solicit input on regulations.
The Biden administration has been pushing aggressively for greater private sector reporting of cyber incidents to the federal government. The Justice Department recently indicated it would sue government contractors and other companies who receive U.S. government grants if they fail to report breaches of their computer systems or misrepresent their cybersecurity practices.

It is April…Autism Awareness month. As this month comes to a close I can't help but ponder… What are you (the general public) aware of? You may be aware that people with autism exist in this world and exhibit many struggles.
Let's get real. Unless you live in isolation with no exposure to the outside world, you're aware.
I am aware… yep, I am certainly aware.
I am aware that the autism spectrum is "growing" and funding is shrinking.
I am aware that many caregivers receive barely there training and that many teachers receive "online training" (whatever that means).
I am aware that most parents (like me) continue to look for quality transitioning/adult services to only come up empty handed.
I am aware that 9 out of 10 adults with autism are either unemployed or underemployed, regardless of their IQ or education level.
I am aware that society has a wayyyyyys to go and so does William… and so do I.
I am aware that the White House failed to even muster up a flicker of blue for "light it up blue" and without support, we become the hamster wheel.
I am aware that silver bullet "cures" and empty promises trump what's really important, which is to focus on the science of really helping kids with autism.
I am aware of how blessed William is to be receiving scientifically proven treatment methods and how the wait list for theses services continues to grow.
I am aware that the majority of the population is unaware.

Activated carbon derived from chitin aerogels: preparation and CO2 adsorption
Rohan S. Dassanayake, Chamila Gunathilake, Noureddine Abidi, Mietek Jaroniec
Fiber and Biopolymer Research Inst
Activated carbon was prepared by carbonization and KOH activation of chitin aerogels. The resulting carbon featured high CO2 adsorption of 5.02 mmol/g at 0 °C and 3.44 mmol/g at 25 °C under ambient pressure of 1 atm. The activated carbon showed a high specific surface area of ~ 520 m2/g, total pore volume of 0.30 cm3/g, and volume of micropores of ~ 0.19 cm3/g. KOH activation of carbonized chitin aerogels resulted in about 37-fold increase in the specific surface area and about 95-fold increase in the volume of micropores as compared to the as-synthesized chitin aerogel. These data indicate that the chitin-derived activated carbon can be used for adsorption-based environmental and related applications.

Quantum Materials Corporation Announces Non-Heavy Metal (Cadmium-Free) Tetrapod Quantum Dots
Quantum Materials Corporation
Feb 12, 2013, 06:00 ET
CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Materials Corporation (QMC) (OTCQB:QTMM) announces a new class of cadmium-free, non-REE, non-heavy metal tetrapod quantum dots (NHM-TPQD) developed to meet worldwide concerns regarding nanoparticle biocompatibility and sustainability.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121120/DA16554LOGO)
QMC can produce industrial scale quantities of NHM-TPQD using proprietary continuous flow chemistry processes with over 90% tetrapod shape and size uniformity, unmatched in the industry. The new availability of a reliable supply of high quantities of uniform and low cost non-heavy metal tetrapod quantum dots will spur development of products and applications in next-generation displays, sensors, biomedical research, diagnostics and drug delivery, security and conductive inks, solid-state lighting (SSL) and photovoltaic solar cells, currently under development by QMC subsidiary Solterra Renewable Technologies.
Quantum dots in biomedical imaging are unique fluorescent probes with advantages over dyes and other fluorophores. QMC has made improvements in quantum dot brightness (high quantum yield), photostability for longer sample lifetime, high uniformity, narrow band, wide spectrum, and tunable emission spectrum. According to a 2012 market research report by Global Industry Analyst, Inc., the total market for Global BioImaging Technologies in 2017 is forecast to reach $34.7 billion.
In 2011, Quantum Materials and NanoAxis LLC pioneered a Joint Alliance to develop Tetrapod Quantum Dot based Cancer diagnostic kits and theranostic applications including Alzheimer's, Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, Breast Cancer and Major Depression.
Quantum Materials CEO and Founder, Mr. Stephen Squires commented, "While our cadmium-based high-brightness tetrapod quantum dots are unparalleled in photovoltaic solar cell applications and especially for commercializing high value, small quantity in vitro research and lab applications, our non-heavy metal tetrapod quantum dot answers the world's ecological and in vivo human toxicological concerns for mass-produced QD in the biotech and other fields of science."
Quantum Materials Corporation is poised to become the world's largest manufacturer of quantum dots by scaling production to multiple kilograms per day in 2013. QMC's production is not subject to any other manufacturer's patents and QMC is free to joint venture and to license its technology.
Mr. Squires is speaking at the CHI Emerging Diagnostics Partnering Forum in San Francisco this week on quantum dot applications in the next generation of diagnostic assays, multiplexed drug delivery platforms and handheld POC devices. Quantum Materials Corporation is then exhibiting at the CHI Molecular Med Tri-Conference on February 13-14, Booth 622.

Dickerson earns all-league, keys Fort Lewis playoff upset win
Dallas Dickerson
Dallas Dickerson of Anchorage says it's not how you start but you how finish.
She certainly proved that.
The sophomore guard at Fort Lewis College was selected to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference all-league second team despite coming off the bench.
Dickerson, of ACS fame, is the team's second-leading scorer at 12.4 points per game and ranks among the league leaders in field goal [.477] and 3-point [.417] shooting percentage.
"It'd have to say it's such a rush to know that I am able to contribute to my team's success," Dickerson told me. "Coming off the bench has taught me a lot of things this year."
"I've learned things such as what it means to be a spark that lights the momentum of the team; how to cherish every minute that I am out there with my team and living all that I have every second; and how to make sure I do the little things such as rebounding and playing great defense."
Dickerson put those words into action during the RMAC playoffs, where No. 8 Fort Lewis upset No. 1 and defending league champion Colorado School of Mines 79-63.
"It's been a crazy year for my team," she said.
The former Alaska Class 3A player of the year pumped in 14 points, the 11th time in the last 12 games that she reached double figures.
"I've learned that scoring is just a small part to my overall game that I have been trying to mold in my game for two years here at Fort Lewis," Dickerson said. "Marking the second team All-RMAC encourages me to want to push myself even harder."

These images are comprised of digital photographs of my original paintings and scans of a paint by number painting bought at a flea market and gouache.
I can't see her anymore, 20x24"


What if you wake up to discover that you had been turned into a dog for one day? What type of dog were you turned into? Describe what your day would be like. Write a narrative story telling about the moment you changed into a dog until you returned to your real self at the end of the day. Did you stay in one place? If not, where did you go? What did it feel like to be a dog? Remember to use vivid verbs, interesting adjectives and showing sentences, not telling sentences. Don't forget to add some similes and metaphors, too!
What would happen if one morning you woke up and found out that your dog could talk? Imagine what would happen if your dog could really talk. Think about what your dog would sound like. What things would your dog like or dislike about its life, and what things would be important to your dog? Write a narrative story about the day you spent with your talking dog. Remember to use vivid verbs, interesting adjectives and showing sentences, not telling sentences. Don't forget to add some similes and metaphors, too!
Now that you have your writing prompt, brainstorm all the possible ideas.
Create a Circle Map on a piece of notebook paper.
Who is your main character? Will your dog act like a dog or have human characteristics? Will you dog have super powers? What other main charters are going to be in your story?
Review the image to the right. Who will your character be? Add details about your character to your circle map?
Take a second look at your image. What could be the problem in your story based on the picture? How will you solve your problem?
List the problem you would like to be the focus of your story in the box labeled "problem".
What events might be connected to your problem? List these in the boxes below.
How will you solve your problem? List how you would like to resolve your problem in the box marked "solution?.
Now put it ll together and map out your whole story.
Review the image to the right.
Who is your protagonist and antagonist?
What events will be your rising action?
What event will be the turning point or climax of your story?
Now that you have planned out your main characters, the problem and solution and have a story map, make sure your paper has a beginning, middle and an end.

Pordenone diary 2009 – day four
October 22, 2009 By urbanora in Festivals Tags: Silent films 2 Comments
It's time once more to leaf backwards through the calendar to Tuesday 6 October and day four of the Giornate del Cinema Muto, best known as the Pordenone Silent Film Festival. And once again we are in the hands of our tantalisingly anonymous guest reporter, who does at least let slip his or her national identity in this latest report. Read on…
Five hours of sleep later, and back into the fray again; firstly a couple of Rediscoveries and Restorations; an abbreviated print, but a rare sighting of silent Japanese popular cinema, Kurotegumi Sukeroku (Japan 1929) recovered from a 16mm 'Digest' print by the Tokyo Film Preservation Society, a small group of enthusiasts gleaning films from private collections in Japan and rescuing them from total oblivion. At roughly one third its original length, plot and characterisation has rather gone by the board, but you do get the feel of more authentic, yet still idealised, Samurai behaviour than we generally see, before the suberbly choreographed sword battle at the climax. As someone who grew up with pre-wire-work Samurai-based TV shows like The Water Margin, this was a real pleasure.
The other film was Eine Versunkene Welt (Austria 1922), a very early film from future saviour of the British film industry, Alexander Korda, starring the actress who would become Maria Corda, from an adaptation from Lajos Biro, another refugee-to-be from their native Hungary. Another tale of an aristocrat marrying a dancer and being disinherited, although apparently based on a factual cause celebre, it was a bit staid and dull, although Maria did show flashes of why she would get a Hollywood career, however brief. In its favour, it did have some wit, and some good use of the shipboard location. Not the greatest work these names would be linked to, but it's instructive to see the apprentice pieces by such important figures.
Pola Negri in Wenn Das Herz in Hass Ergluht, from the Pordenone catalogue
More Divas; Wenn Das Herz in Hass Ergluht (Denmark 1918) was a welcome and rare chance to see a Pola Negri film; we see the iconic stills, Marion Davies or others impersonating her, but not often do we see the original in action. And she is impressive. Wenn Das Herz is a Pola Negri vehicle, designed to show off her dancing talent in her role as a circus snake dancer destined for the big time, despite the efforts of the circus owner, and her ex-boyfriend, a villainous turn from Hans Schlettow, that nice Devonian farmer from A Cottage on Dartmoor. The former needs her act to prop up his failing business, the decond wants her back from the aristocrat backing her ascent in the showbiz ranks. This film had the lot; lust, deception, gambling, framed aristocrats, matters of honour and interspecies wrestling. I won't disclose the ending as it should remain as big a surprise as it was to us … the sound of jaws hitting the Verdi floor was quite audible.
Amore Senza Stima (Italy 1912) is a tale of marital deception starring the fetching Francesca Bertini; she seemed a bit underutilised as 'The Betrayed Woman' and I've seen the theme handled better; however the camerawork and the use of light and shade were outstanding for the year.
After a lunchbreak catching up on notes, one from the Rediscoveries / Restorations strand; a spanking print of an Ossi Oswalda comedy, Die Kleine Vom Variete (Denmark 1926) another variation of the 'marry that actress and I'll disown you' theme so popular this week; Ossi obviously has great fun as a cross-dressing (as a cowboy) cabaret knife thrower secretly married to the heir of an uncle's fortune; Uncle has other ideas … like the ward of an extremely respectable business acquaintance. There is a superb sequence introducing said ward; remember the group exercise sequence in Diary of a Lost Girl?? Louise Brooks and the others to the rhythm of a gong??? Well, here the ward is at some kind of progressive finishing school; we have a group full of Louise Brooks' exercising to a sax-heavy jazz band … you would swear someone was satirizing Pabst, but this was three years earlier … Ossi is a lively, sparky charismatic presence on screen, known as 'Germany's Mary Pickford' but actually more like Betty Balfour in appearance and verve; the film is a farce comedy with good supporting players, and a real delight in a festival a bit lightweight in comedy thus far.
The one annoyance was emerging from it to find that it had clashed with the one show I had wanted to see in the Ridotto, and which I had overlooked in my rush for a seat in the Verdi; Jean Darling in conversation with a rejuvenated David Wyatt; with clips and so forth. I had seen them do similar shows before, but they are always a delight, and every time some new angle, some new information, comes from the mind of one of the very last people bearing witness to the business end of silent Hollywood; and such, apparently, was the case here. Aaargh.
More Sherlock and co.'s … a perennial favourite in Britain is The Peril Of The Fleet (UK 1909), a precursor of nearly every other spy thriller ever made; the plot, the hunt, the tracking, the 'saved in the nick of time', the world safe for the time being (or the fleet at anchor, in this case, gorgeously depicted in a sea-borne tracking shot past the sterns of Agammemnon, and her sister ships). That all said, it does creak a tad, and there were one or two giggles at some points; we're so much more educated in the genre, I suppose. But this is its beginning, and the actuality-style footage is superb … followed by the Maurice Elvey/Eille Norwood The Sign Of Four (UK 1923), with its wonderful climactic chase by road and river from Twickenham to Barking via every landmark a capital tourist guide could think of … it's a decent thriller, well handled as usual by the prolific Elvey, and I actually prefer this version to the more-familiar-to-most Jeremy Brett take from the eighties; much of the detection is explained in a lengthy flashback, but then that is the structure many of Conan Doyle's tales take – and which make them apparently so difficult to successfully adapt, despite their fame.
Rediscoveries; Monkeys' Moon (1929), a pleasant, well-executed but slight film about two Capuchins enjoying an evening in their owner's moonlit garden, from the avant garde crowd (Kenneth Macpherson et al) who gave us journal Close Up. Nice enough, and with technically very good close-up photography, but not about to bring Hollywood down around its ears … this was followed by another personal revelation. I confess to having blindspots in certain areas, and one such is Soviet cinema. The Russian avant garde I can admire to a point, but … it leaves me cold. This, though, was a very different Soviet film.
Dom Na Trubnoi (USSR 1928) (The House on Trubnaya Square) is a quite wonderful film; starting as if it was going to be a straight city symphony film: nice photography, dawn sun glinting off the tram tracks in freshly-washed cobbles, and so on; but it gradually fragments into a visual anarchy until the film is paused; and the narrating intertitle remembers he's forgotten to tell us why the peasant girl who has rescued the goose and is apparently at the mercy of the speeding tram is there in the first place … so we go back to her beginning out in the sticks, until her story can catch up to the point where we last saw her … by the time of the film's end, we have had a mild dig at the workers (social co-operation not apparently extending to cleaning arrangements in the tenement), their living conditions, the petit-bourgeouis, agitprop theatre – before delivering a message that union membership may be quite desirable and delivering the happy ending Russian cinema is not known for. In amongst all that, it delivered real laughter and huge applause in the Verdi. Lovely print too … film of the festival at this point, and it has overtaken Chess Fever as my favourite Soviet comedy of all time. But then I have only seen the two; I hope you don't mind me displaying my ignorance here. Rumour has it that it may be available on DVD in France?? I must check when I get home … (It's available from Bach Films. Ed.)
After dinner, a compilation show of gems from the Yugoslavian archive, celebrating their sixty years. Many of local origin, as you would expect; but including their imports from over the decades. Some early travelogues of Serbia were followed by a 1909 short L'Ostaggio, an Italian film of loyalty and bravery rewarded, in a classical setting but adapted from a Schiller poem; a 1903 art-nude film from Germany, featuring statuesque nudes posing on a giant turntable, rotating as we view … a 1909 Edison Hansel and Gretel starring Mary Fuller; but the most effective, and most affecting was a late silent, Sa Verom U Boga (Serbia 1932) (In God We Trust), a rural Serbian take on The Big Parade … low key, acted seemingly authentically acted (you suspect a large percentage of the cast are cleverly-cast amateurs) and very moving. The programme finished with two as-yet unidentified animations featuring Chaplin's Tramp as the main character. Obviously both from the same hand, seemingly from the late 10's early 20's, nothing is apparently known of their provenance, and feature no identification apart from locally produced (and crude) title cards, and a flourishing hand signing 'ZIP' at the end of one. Very nicely animated, with Chaplin captured brilliantly, using the cut-out animation technique against chalk-board style background art. The consensus, in our little group at least, was that they could well be British; the English-language shopfronts don't prove much, but twice Charlie is confronted by a very well detailed British police sergeant – unlike his films, then all US-set, – the technique is right for Britain, as we seemed to favour cut-out over Winsor McCay style drawn animation; and it did seem in places vaguely reminiscent of Dudley Buxton … so who is/was Zip ??? The Yugoslavian Film Archive would like to know …
Last up, a couple more films featuring Francesca Bertini, from the Divas thread … but I was fading fast, so forewent the pleasure … and talked animation and Chaplin around the bar instead.
Quite a day, and there's more to follow in day five, when we shall sing with Hepworth, shiver to the Golem, thrill to Fu Manchu, and cheer the heroics of perhaps the finest name an animal star could ever boast – Spot the Urbanora Dog. Don't miss it.
