Science Bowl winners represent NM in Washington, D.C.
A team from Los Alamos bested 39 other teams from around New Mexico in the 10-hour New Mexico Regional Science Bowl, held recently at Albuquerque Academy. The team went on to represent New Mexico in the 22nd Annual Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Bowl.
In addition to their travel expenses, the team also won $5,000 for their school. The team consists of students, Alexander Wang, Micha Ben-Naim, Scott Carlsten, Lorenzo Venneri and Kevin Gao, and Coach, Paolo Venneri.
Albuquerque Academy took second place and La Cueva High School in Albuquerque placed third in the "Jeopardy!"-style event. During the competition, students are asked challenging questions about science topics such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, math, trigonometry, and calculus.
"These kids are very well-versed in math and science," said Amy Tapia, Community Involvement manager at Sandia National Laboratories, one of the co-sponsors of the event along with Los Alamos National Laboratory. "It seems what sets the winning team apart from the rest of the competition is their math skills – it is so great to see students so passionate about STEM subjects."STEM education focuses on science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. DOE officials sponsor competitions such as science bowls to encourage and recognize the next generation of scientists and engineers.

TOKYO — A senior Chinese diplomat made a secret visit to Tokyo this week to hold talks aimed at defusing tensions between Japan and China over a group of disputed islands, Japan's top government spokesman said Friday.
The spokesman, Osamu Fujimura, said Luo Zhaohui, who leads the Chinese Foreign Ministry's Asian Affairs Department, met Thursday with Shinsuke Sugiyama, the director general of the Asian and Oceanic Affairs Bureau at Japan's Foreign Ministry. Mr. Fujimura was confirming a statement issued Thursday night by the Japanese ministry that revealed the meeting.
The talks appeared to signal a willingness by the nations to at least begin discussing their often highly emotional disagreement over control of the island group, known as the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. According to the ministry's statement, the diplomats "exchanged opinions" on the dispute and held preparatory talks for a higher-level meeting between the two nations to take place at an unspecified date.
While neither the Japanese nor the Chinese offered much additional detail, the meeting offered the first glimpse of behind-the-scenes diplomacy aimed at cooling a heated territorial dispute that has set the two Asian powers increasingly at odds and has begun to damage their extensive economic ties. The fact that the meeting took place at all seemed to signal that the two nations wanted to pull back from a confrontation that has led to violent street protests in China and cat-and-mouse games between their patrol ships on the high seas.
Mr. Fujimura expressed hope that a higher-level meeting, which is expected to involve vice ministers, who are usually the nations' top-ranking career diplomats, would be a first step toward lowering tensions.Continue reading the main story
"It is important for both Japan and China to work toward an environment of improved relations by starting with various efforts at communication," Mr. Fujimura said. "We expect there to be a frank exchange of opinions."
On Friday, the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo confirmed the Thursday meeting and said that its diplomat, Mr. Luo, had left Japan.
Reports in Japanese newspapers said the two diplomats had spoken by phone to arrange the meeting after talks last month in Beijing ended inconclusively. This suggested that the diplomats might be using personal rapport to try to bridge the differences between their two nations.
The islands at the center of the dispute are uninhabited, rocky outcroppings, surrounded by the shark-infested waters of the East China Sea. But they hold a highly symbolic value for many Chinese, who say that Japan's annexation of them in 1895 was a first step in empire-building that culminated in its invasion of China in the 1930s. Japan says that China only started making a claim to the islands in the early 1970s, after evidence emerged that the seabeds around the islands might hold rich oil and natural gas deposits.
The long-running dispute flared anew this year, when the nationalist governor of Tokyo suddenly proclaimed that he wanted to buy some of the islands from their owner, a Japanese citizen. This prompted activists from both nations to stage landings on one of the islands, which are controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan.
Tensions spiraled last month after Japan's prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, announced that the Japanese government would buy the islands instead. While Mr. Noda apparently hoped to defuse the standoff by keeping the islands out of the Tokyo governor's hands, the move drew outrage in China, where attacks on Japanese businesses and boycotts of Japanese goods hurt economic relations. Trade between the two totaled $345 billion last year, economists say.
Spurred by nationalist fervor at home, the Chinese government had kept up the pressure on Japan, sending small flotillas of unarmed patrol ships into waters near the islands. These were shadowed by Japanese coast guard vessels, resulting at times in verbal clashes in which each side used bullhorns and radios to accuse the other of trespassing.
The growing tensions have even held the tiny but still worrisome prospect of dragging the United States into a military confrontation with China: Washington is obligated by treaty to defend Japan if it is attacked, and American officials have said in the past that the islands fall within the scope of that security treaty. So far, American officials have avoided supporting the claims of either side, while calling on both nations to ease the dispute.Continue reading the main story

Of course, NASA would probably just say that it's a result of their composite imagery not being "100% accurate" ... but I think these things are worth pointing out and we should do more of this where we can. There are a lot of people out there that understand the moon landings are a fraud but haven't gotten any further in the research and still believe the rest of NASA's lies (Space shuttle, satellites, ISS, etc). If we can show reasonable, rational people undeniable and obvious examples of fakery such as this, perhaps we can get more people to start considering that the very ground they are standing on is a lie.
A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin.
Blue Marble composite images generated by NASA in 2001 (left) and 2002 (right).
So why is the "Blue Marble" a bigger deal than these? Turns out, it's quite tricky to take a good photo of the entire Earth.
The first challenge is that our planet is big. The only way to view all of it at once is to get much farther away from the Earth than we do for many of our activities in outer space. The International Space Station, for instance, orbits at a height of just 400 kilometers, or about 249 miles away from Earth.
The second problem is a familiar one that plagues many photographers who are Earthbound: lighting. In order to view the Earth as a fully illuminated globe, a person (or camera) must be situated in front of it, with the sun directly at his or her back. Not surprisingly, it can be difficult to arrange this specific lighting scheme for a camera-set up that's orbiting in space at speeds approaching thousands of miles per hour.
As a result of these challenges, NASA, NOAA, and other science agencies most often rely on composite images to depict our planet. These images stitch together multiple high-resolution snapshots taken by satellites already in orbit to produce one seamless portrait of the Earth. And that's what the three photos above are: composite images produced by NASA over the past fifteen years (released respectively in 2002, 2007, and 2012).
Composite imaging is an extremely useful tool for helping people understand the Earth — they allow researchers to capture certain features at higher resolution; reduce the obscuring effect of cloud coverage in certain areas; and overlay various data layers to help identify patterns and trends.

Shot by the "Deep Space Climate Obervatory" satellite on July 6th! Be thankful for all their efforts to monitor climate data, for that's not just the only chance for stopping global warming, no, it also brings you all the delights of viewing our earth from space.
But wait...they say it's another composite assembled from three distinct pictures? How long will we have to wait for the real deal?
There's no dark side of the earth really...as a matter of fact, it's all bright.
It was originally developed as a NASA satellite proposed in 1998 by then-Vice President Al Gore for the purpose of Earth observation. It is at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrangian point, 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) from Earth, to monitor variable solar wind condition, provide early warning of approaching coronal mass ejections and observe phenomena on Earth including changes in ozone, aerosols, dust and volcanic ash, cloud height, vegetation cover and climate. At this location it will have a continuous view of the Sun and the sunlit side of the Earth. The satellite is orbiting the Sun-Earth L1 point in a six-month period, with a spacecraft-Earth-Sun angle varying from 4 to 15 degrees. It will take full-Earth pictures about every two hours and be able to process them faster than other Earth observation satellites.
Daily Views of Earth Available on New NASA Website
Oct 19, 2015
An image of rotating earth.NASA launched a new website Monday so the world can see images of the full, sunlit side of the Earth every day. The images are taken by a NASA camera one million miles away on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Air Force.
Once a day NASA will post at least a dozen new color images of Earth acquired from 12 to 36 hours earlier by NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). Each daily sequence of images will show the Earth as it rotates, thus revealing the whole globe over the course of a day. The new website also features an archive of EPIC images searchable by date and continent.
The primary objective of NOAA's DSCOVR mission is to maintain the nation's real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities, which are critical to the accuracy and lead time of space weather alerts and forecasts from NOAA. NASA has two Earth-observing instruments on the spacecraft. EPIC's images of Earth allow scientists to study daily variations over the entire globe in such features as vegetation, ozone, aerosols, and cloud height and reflectivity.
EPIC is a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope. The color Earth images are created by combining three separate single-color images to create a photographic-quality imageequivalent to a 12-megapixel camera. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters -- from ultraviolet to near infrared -- to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used to create the color images. Each image is about 3 megabytes in size.
"The effective resolution of the DSCOVR EPIC camera is somewhere between 6.2 and 9.4 miles (10 and 15 kilometers)," said Adam Szabo, DSCOVR project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland.
Since Earth is extremely bright in the darkness of space, EPIC has to take very short exposure images (20-100 milliseconds). The much fainter stars are not visible in the background as a result of the short exposure times.
The DSCOVR spacecraft orbits around the L1 Lagrange point directly between Earth and the sun. This orbit keeps the spacecraft near the L1 point and requires only occasional small maneuvers, but its orbit can vary from 4 to 15 degrees away from the sun-Earth line over several years.
EPIC was built by Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center, in Palo Alto, California. Using an 11.8-inch (30-centimeter) telescope and 2048 x 2048 CCD detector, EPIC measures in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared areas of the spectrum. The data from all 10 wavelengths are posted through a website hosted by the Atmospheric Science Data Center at NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. All images are in the public domain.
NASA uses the vantage point of space to increase our understanding of our home planet, improve lives, and safeguard our future. NASA develops new ways to observe and study Earth's interconnected natural systems with long-term data records. The agency freely shares this unique knowledge and works with institutions around the world to gain new insights into how our planet is changing.

Wednesday, August 08, 2007
This article caught my eye because it was about health care, sure, but what really pulled me in was that the editor decided to 'tease' the article on the front of the Review by headlining: "Are doctors paid too much?" The assumption you may logically make from this teaser is that the NYT, in its infinite wisdom, thinks that we are, in fact, overpaid.
I know I will get no sympathy from the masses when it comes to money - when you make over 100,000$ per year, Joe-six-pack loses interest in your whining. You have also heard ad nauseam the arguments for why we should be well paid (years of training, high loans, importance of / life changing effects of professional decisions, bad hours, etc...). So, I want to forget all of this and ask an emotionally neutral question: as a pure economic decision are doctors, in fact, paid too much?
The way I approach this is in the context of two concepts: present value of future earnings and opportunity cost. You may now wake up.
Here's an actual example: My niece is 26 years old. She graduated from an elite university with good grades - a good comparison for your typical med student. She has been working as a consultant for 4 years. Without a graduate degree, she will likely increase her earnings to about 150,000$ / yr. within 3 years. If she works to age 60, her lifetime earnings will be about 500,000$ (appx. total earnings to age 30) + (150,000 x 30 = 4,500,000$) = 5 million dollars. This number actually approximates a discounted present value as I have assumed she will get no raise after age 30.
Here's another example: I graduated from an elite university at age 23 with good grades and decided to go to medical school. Let's assume my niece and I both had full scholarships and came out of college with no debt. I did two years of research for no money to increase my competitiveness and get into a good med school (pretty typical these days). Medical school was 4 years at a total cost of about 50,000$ / year = 200,000$. Residency was 6 years. My first year I earned 30,000$; my 6th year about 50,000$ (total ~ 240,000$). Discounting these dollars makes them about equal so here I am, age 35, at total lifetime earnings of ZERO (it's actually negative because of deferred loans but let's not go there). Let's say my salary from age 40 on is about 250,000$ (this is well above a typical primary care doc's salary and a bit above average for specialists). Let's do the math: (~1,000,000$ age 35-40) + (20 x 250,000$ age 40-60) = 6 million dollars. Of note, my salary has DECREASED in the past 5 years by 30%, so this number is likely very high when it comes to discounting to present value.
What would you choose? Go from age 23-35 with a good standard of living and by 35 have over 1 million $ in earnings or live on the edge financially to age 35 and have no earnings. Obviously an easy decision. Now if you are a primary care doc, your lifetime earnings will likely NEVER get to 5 million $. Again, an obviously easy financial decision. So, like in the above example, would a high earning specialist trade an extra 1 million in lifetime earnings for a more financially secure life while under 40? Maybe. But, guess what, this is a bad way to look at it. The consultant at age 35 probably has investments, a house with equity and other financial vehicles that have been appreciating in value over 12 years, while the doc has debt that is increasing over this time. So now, that extra million of lifetime earning discounted to the present plus the opportunity cost of 12 years of investment, roughly cancels out the extra earnings!!!
I hope this argument has been whine-free. The bottom line: for a person with the typical med-student type qualifications, upon graduation from college, medicine is likely a neutral (at best) financial decision, and likely a poor one for non-specialists.
As the New York Times asks: Do doctors make too much? As a purely economic decision, I would argue the answer is "no". Interestingly, they sort of answer their own question in a different way in the article, and I quote: "Primary care doctors and pediatricians, who rarely perform complex procedures, make less than specialists. They are attracting a declining percentage of medical students, and some states are facing a shortage of primary care doctors."
At some financial break point, which has clearly been reached in the primary care specialities, people will decide it's not worth it to go to med school. Substitute in the above quote the words "shortage of primary care doctors" with "shortage of all doctors" and you should get the idea.

People who choose to become doctors are special people. Not special people as in they ride the short bus, but seriously, extremely special people in my heart. I believe good doctors should receive whatever they want in terms of compensation because without the team of awesome doctors that took care of me, I would be dead. I can't imagine what price I would say is too much for the skill you posess. Too bad I am not in charge, right?ReplyDelete

I agree with you completely. The argument I'm trying to make in this post, however, is that, taking away all of the emotional issues surrounding doctoring, as a purely economic decision, being a doctor is a self-sacrifice. When the NYTimes implies that we make too much money, I think a reasonable, dispassionate argument is that this assumption is wrong.
As for the link thing, it's hopeless.

Doc H, USN
a close friend of mine just finished paying of his medical school loans. that's ten years after his graduation. the most compelling point you make, ETOTHEIPI, is the devilish nature of compounding interest... when it's working for you it's great, when it's working against you it's horrible. one of my residency classmates had paid for undergraduate school with loans, and medical school with loans, after her four year residency at less than minimum wage she was thirty years old and $300,000 in debt. welcome to the real world, doctor.ReplyDelete
finally, when i need my quadruple bypass, or one of my family members needs a tricky neurosurgical procedure i want the best-trained, most well-rested, most well-payed, happiest surgeon in that OR weilding the scalpel. crazy huh? as for my financial advisor or insurance agent or veterinarian or lawyer or (fill in the blank here) they just have to be good.
I left another comment earlier, but it seems not to be here. I said something about my emotions about doctors getting in the way for my previous comment, and that I completely agree that becoming a doctor is a huge financial sacrifice. I did understand your point, I just get so emotional about it all that I forgot to comment on that part.ReplyDelete
I wrote something about the fact that while you all are paying back all your debt or are still in school, I am putting probably the same amount away for each of my kids to use for college. We now have almost 4 years of paid tuition for each of our kids (I think we are still working on paying for our 4th surprise baby's eventual tuition, but I know the older 3 are set). So, in the long run, financially it is probably better sense to NOT become a doctor. I am extremely grateful that even though it doesn't make much financial sense, people still do it. I felt this way even before all my medical stuff came up, but am even more appreciative of it now. You are all still grossly underpaid for what you do, and the sacrifices you make. Maybe I'll steer my kids towards a career in professional sports.
I'll never hit even 2 million, and I'm OK with that. 50K/year is plenty to keep me happy. My stress level is SO much lower than 911's. He's gonna have a stroke before too much longer. Of course, Shadowfax isn't helping....ReplyDelete
luv ya rad girl, and, as always you triggered another thought from me.ReplyDelete
you mention professional athletes. a lot of people get all upset about their salries but i don't. they are the best of the best and they make what they make because IT IS WHAT THEY ARE WORTH.
i'm speaking from a business perspective. the owner's of teams, the sponsors of the athlete's, and the networks (both television and otherwise) collect huge revenues on their backs. therefore, the athletes themselves make what the market will bear. it may seem ridiculous to many that someone can make a few million a year for carrying a football through a forest of huge, freakishly strong, angry men, but what they do benefits a whole bunch of people whether it be financially or through the pleaseure they bring to millions of fans.
what we do not have in medicine is anything approaching this. i did not go into medicine to get rich. you either believe this or not so if you don't you can quit reading here. however, i most certainly did not go into medicine to be brought under the thumb of various agencies of the government or ad-hoc committees whose job, it seems, is to see how hard they can squeeze me.
call me crazy, but i believe that, for literally saving people's lives, probably to the tune of one or two people a week... people who would die if i wasn't there at that very moment, i deserve to make what the market will bear.
dead horse time... we do not have a market. we have a huge shell game. when the game's rules can be changed by legislative fiat, ARE REGULARLY CHANGED just this way, and my paycheck suffers... well, i think i'll take my ball and go home. and if you think that just anyone can do this then you are living in a dream world.
medical students and prospective medical students are voting with their feet. hugs and warm fuzzies may be enough motivation for some for the sacrifice that every single physician must make to acheive board certification, but it is not enough for most.
the real crisis will come, and has already arrived where i work, when we can't find enought skilled surgeons or specialty physicians to do procedures that NO ONE ELSE CAN DO. to wit, vascular surgery fellowships filled 75% of their slots this year when ten years ago you had to walk on water to get one. cardio-thoracic surgery slots, also as rare as hen's teeth ten years ago, can be had by someone graduating at the bottom of their medical school or residency class now.
so go ahead and keep cutting our pay, go ahead and demonize physicians as being money-grubbing assholes, just don't complain when you die on the operating table ten years from now with a hack surgeon cutting through your abdominal aorta in an otherwise "routine" procedure. meanwhile, my family and i will be fine as we know the good docs and can get to them. the public will get its free health care (dead horse again) and it will be worth exactly what they pay for it.
If you want the mad cash without tons of debt, you need the business degree (MBA).ReplyDelete
End of story.
don't care about mad cash, was actually in law school and made it almost halfway through... "you can do anything with a law degree" everone said. yeah, except practice medicine. it was in my gut. to hell with the money, it is merely a symptom of the larger problem which is a moronic tendency of our elected leaders AND the people who elect them to redistribute resources. as has been shown by the impressive line-up of failed communist and socialist economies, the people who do the hard work and the skilled work (you Monkey Girl, you Nurse K, and me and ETOTHEIPI and Schrodinger's Cat and, swallow hard, Shadowfax) have a finite amount of goodwill.ReplyDelete
and monkey girl, i'm glad you would be happy with the salary you describe. would you be happy with a thousand dollars a year less? two thousand? if so, can i have it?
and, swallow hard, Shadowfax...ReplyDelete
Shadowfax said straight up that he didn't mind paying more taxes because he could afford it.
Why wait for the democrats to be elected in 2008 and the inevitable higher taxes?
Paypal button, baby. Hit that, Shadow. I'm waiting. Show your support for keeping less of your income right now. I'm totally all for voluntary redistribution of wealth.
I'm not even interested in hearing about people who wish to spend their time bitching about how much doctors or executives or athletes make. It's all just an overall criticism on the capitalist system. If you make more than the middle class, someone is going to call you a money-grubbing asshole, whether you saved a life today or not.
And yes, at some point if the pay isn't adequate, the ultra-smart will decide that medicine is a foolish choice and go to law school instead. If you haven't read it, The Tipping Point describes this concept in general at length. I have no attention span for books, and I was glued to that one.

Absolutely not. Let the free market rule rather than allowing the insurance companies to create artificial baselines in which few docs can make a realistic living.
My daughter just graduated from residency. She went to undergraduate school essentially for free because of scholorships. She attended an accelerated medical school for 4 years and came out with a loan or what I really call a "morgage" for about $140,000. She earned between $30 and $45K/year throughout her 3 years of residency which she paid her car, insurance, utilities and rent with, along with a few luxuries such as music CD's. She wasn't frivilous with her money and worried constantly how she would be able to pay rent or a mortgage loan along with her student loan which would be approximately $800 per month.ReplyDelete
Now, take into consideration that if she were to start her own practice, hire her own staff and offer them any sort of health care insurance, she's essentially back to square one.
Heck, if medical school cost any more, my daughter would have to move back in with me and I'd have to support her for the first few years she started her practice.
For the things they do, the knowledge they are forced to keep up with along with the threat of malpractice, I don't think they get paid nearly enough.
But, that's just my opinion....
I think doctors make too much money, so they need to spread it around. Yeah, that's right, and they can start by sending it all to me:-)ReplyDelete
Come on, doctors earn every penny that they make. They work their butts off in school, and they have HUGE student loans to pay off, and let's not forget about the cost of the freakin' malpractice insurance. That stuff doesn't come cheap.
Well, that sucks. I'm an RN, not nearly as educated...but proud to say I now pay in taxes what I used to take home. I'm satisfied with my earnings. I think doc's need more pay because they put up with bull sh** from patients, us the RN's calling all night (our hands are tied at times...it just takes a doc to do the ordering and to assess when a higher level of care is needed!). We depend on your BRAINS to do our JOBS. By the time you guys pay your bills, insurance, and the law suits from the jerks that think no body should ever die...even if they are 95 yrs old and have smoked for 75 years! well, I'm surpised you make anything at all.ReplyDelete
I'm surpised you make anything at all."ReplyDelete
It's not just the docs. Try being a publisher in California. They enjoy 60% of our salary. Sure wish they knew how to spend more wisely. Then again, I mutter, "Who is John Galt?" on a daily basis.

Hmmm...a little late to the game, here, but did the NY Slimes print the salaries of their staff? I wonder who makes more(and earlier in life--good point, BTW), one of their editors or a doctor.ReplyDelete

I did a paper in a health economics class on the rate of return on medical education. The return on getting an MD and making 150K per year was about 25%, being an MBA, JD, or Dentist was 35%+. The schooling and lost income are very significant. Although, these days, those MBA's are not doing too well -- unless they got bailed out on wall street.ReplyDelete

The Millennium Sirius Aries is a straight-understable moderately high speed long range turn driver suitable for all skill levels. Beginners will find that it exhibits enough glide in order to increase their distances, and experienced players will find that it is great for tailwind shots where a long sustainable turn is needed. It's best for shots where a long turnover flight path is desired, with a smooth glide throughout, and a slight fade to finish. This disc golf driver is not recommended for against the wind shots. Ultra strong throwers might find it to be a great roller disc.

Use The Top Anti-Malware Cleaner To Make Your PC Run Fast Again
If your computer has been hit by malware, the good news is you can use the top-rated removal software to get your PC back up and running like new. This article will discuss exactly what malware is and how you can use web-based tools to clean your computer.
What is Malware? Malware stands for malicious software and is like a virus that infects your computer without your permission. It can damage files on your computer or do something more dangerous like delete critical system files. Malware can be defined as Trojans, worms, or any backdoor program that compromises your security. When first created, this kind of software was meant as a prank, but today, Malware can even be used for criminal purposes. If your computer ever does get hit with Malware there is no need to lose all hope because there are ways to get rid of it.
With the creation of Malware came Malware removal software, or Anti-Malware programs. These are online tools that can be downloaded to your computer that runs a search of every file checking for known Malware applications. While searching, the program creates a list of infected files and then once completed allows you to chose an action such as keeping or deleting the files. You should always delete infected files unless it is part of the operating system or part of a program you regularly use. Malware removal programs are not the same as anti-virus software. Anti-Malware is used solely for the detection and removal of Malware that has already been installed onto your computer.
Malware scans need to be run either daily or weekly, however, you can decide when it's necessary. New Malware threats are created every day, but with routine scans, your computer should be free of Malware attacks. Be sure to schedule your scans often, because not only can Malware be annoying, if your system is left unchecked, you could encounter many frustrating computer problems.

Former Child Star Reportedly Files Sex Abuse Claims Against Michael Jackson
Former child star James Safechuck alleges that he was molested by Michael Jackson after appearing in a Pepsi commercial with the singer.
According to PEOPLE, Safechuck, 36, filed court papers on Monday (Aug. 3), claiming that Jackson abused him for four years, starting when the child actor was just 10 years old.
PEOPLE reports that after the commercial was filmed, Safechuck made multiple visits to Jackson's home before joining the singer on his Bad Tour. It was during the tour, Safechuck alleges, that the abuse first occurred. Reportedly, Jackson gave Safechuck "rewards" for sexual favor and even taught the child code words to disguise the acts from others.
Safechuck reportedly claimed to be the first to stay at Jackson's Neverland Ranch, describing a "secret closet" in which Jackson would engage in sexual activities with the child. Safechuck claims that over the course of four years, the singer engaged in sexual acts with him "hundreds" of time.
According to MTV, Jackson was previously charged with 10 felony counts, including "four counts of lewd acts on a child under 14, one count of an attempted lewd act on a child under 14, four counts of administering alcohol to enable child molestation, and one count of conspiracy to kidnap a child, false imprisonment and extortion." In 2005, he was acquitted of all counts. A hearing regarding Safechuck's case is set for Sept. 4.
In a statement to E! News, Howard Weitzman, an attorney for the Jackson estate, shot down the claims, saying, "Mr. Safechuck's request to file a late claim against the Jackson Estate so he can recover money from Michael's beneficiary will hopefully be rejected. This is a person that made his claim five years after Michael died, more than 20 years after the incidents supposedly happened and has given sworn testimony that Michael never did anything inappropriate to him."

The Little Prince happened to me in the form of this movie. I didn't have a clue, a story so colossal hid all this time from me. Le Petit Prince, the original product of the extraordinary brain of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, was published in the year 1943. It has found numerous collaborations over the years, all countless beautiful contributions, hands down!
The Little Prince Movie Overview
One of the best-selling books ever published, Le Petit Prince's story is more of a parable that criticizes human nature with extant elements around. It chooses the character of a little lad with a huge brain whose words will literally open the insensible vaults of your brain. It does all of it using its clever flair by making allusions to mundane pointless characters that surround us in every area.
The Little Prince movie is a different take on the Le Petit Prince story. Even though it makes a few changes, introduces a fresher perspective, does some minor additions and subtractions here and there, it still doesn't stop being awesome.
Music of the Little Prince
You listen to the Preparation play and you will know how beautiful the composition is. None other than Hans Zimmer frontlines its beautiful score. He stays well complemented at all times by Richard Harvey. Together they create magic!
You can listen to the Preparation here:
The Plot of The Little Prince Movie: Spoilers Ahead
Words fail to describe how much relatable I found The Little Prince movie to be. To begin with, it eases in with a drawing of a boa constrictor trying to digest an elephant in its stomach. Showing how adults crush images in a child's head, steering them away from their dreams, goes on to show how crass people's imaginations are. They give precedence to things that are not worth paying attention to, and in their blunt obstinacy create robots just like them.
Then we are introduced to a little girl voiced by Mackenzie Foy (of the Interstellar fame) who is on her way to become a carbon copy of her mother. Discipline, perfection and non-stop studies are ways of her life, until one day she finds the first page of The Little Prince story. Her neighbor The Aviator voiced by Jeff Bridges strikes up a friendship chord with her and she discovers for the first time the brilliance in fancy. The story of the Little Prince penned by The Aviator piques her interest and she keeps visiting him to know more about it.
"When a mystery is too overpowering, one may not disobey."
I loved the way how contrasting frames are picked up. It's a perfect blend that draws awe right away. Like when the old man blows pain away from the girl's hands, the air goes on to tremble the grass with its stop motion animation in the Little Prince's story. Also, I loved how when she picks up a shell against her ears to find the voice of sea in it.
Constant Run of Gorgeous Screenplay
Words of wisdom ooze out at every corner. Some straight from the Le Petit Prince book, whilst some by Irena Brignull and Bob Persichetti.
About hoarding, the aviator says:
"As you live, some things kind of just stick to you.
Mark Osborne uses a magnificent set of stop motion animation to weave the Little Prince's original tale. The prince goes on to narrate his story to the aviator of how he met his rose, and about his sojourn therefrom.
There are metaphors galore, even in its subtle personification. Falling in love with a rose is actually insinuating falling in love with a girl.
The Little Prince: "You are perfect."
Rose: "Am I not? I was born the same moment as the sun."
The rad depiction of how the little prince just sits there, trying to reason with a vain Rose, how circumstances change the course of the planet and they end up sitting against each other have been beautifully animated.
"The shame of it was that they loved each other. But they were both too young to know how to love."
The Rose realizes its mistake, and tries to apologize:
"Of course I love you. If you are not aware of that, it's my fault."
Gloom lurks nevertheless in those button like eyes of the prince. You can make it all out with Osborne's thoughtful depiction of dusk as he covers the Prince up in a glum demeanour.
"I would very much like to see a sunset. It would remind me of my rose."
You can grab the DVD of The Little Prince movie here:
Characters: Reflections of Societal Elements
Biding somewhat by the original, wherein the Little Prince met six, here he meets three of the characters inhabiting asteroids. All of the three are uncanny lives that have been critiqued beautifully. One is a king without subjects who has a feigned sense of power and has nobody to rule over, very much suggestive of impersonators.
Then there is that narcissistic element, the conceited man who just can't wait to garner more praises. Reflective of how people run for vanity, even though it doesn't earn them any strata. The third one is the Businessman who simply spends day counting stars which reflects people in real lives who are after money and materialism.
"What good does it do you to be rich?"
After knowing about all such characters in the little prince, the little girl realizes how grownups do not know what they are really after. They stay under the schism of immaterial things. She considers them really odd.
There is one brilliantly shot scene where the little girl is drinking from her glass, and from the bottom of it she realizes that her mother too is caught and lost in one asteroid, one planet of her own, just like those characters from The Little Prince tale.
"I am not so sure I wanna grow up any more."
To that the old Aviator explains:
"Growing up is not the problem. Forgetting is."
The Prince Resumes his Tale
The Little Prince story continues with the prince finding a snake in the desert on Earth. He doesn't find anybody else, and inquires:
"Where are the men? It is a little lonely in the desert."
To which the snake replies:
"It is also lonely among men."
Taming a Fox
It is then when he finds not a cunning, rather a clever fox and strikes up a chord.
"To me you will be unique in all the world. And to you I shall be unique in all the world."
On coming across a rosebush, the prince becomes sad for he thought his rose was the only one in the whole universe.
"My rose is just a common rose? But she told me she was the only one of her kind in the whole universe."
Trying to reason with the prince, the fox expounds:
"But she is not a common rose. She is your rose. It is the time that you have devoted to her that makes your rose so important."
With that the fox asks him to find her, dropping this beauty of a line:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."
When the little girl outside the tale tries to understand why did the prince leave the fox, the aviator explains her the importance of moving on.
"The fox, he sees the little Prince when he looks with his heart. If you can do that you will never be lonely again."
Along with that he also tries to insinuate that he would one day leave too. The girl manages with a heavy heart:
"But I need you here."
It is so sad that it brings tears to your eyes.
The Inevitable Showdown with her Mother
The showdown was always on the cards, since the little girl was always sneaking up, and lying to her mother. When it does finally happen, the girl stands up with:
"That's your version of my life. Not mine. If you were ever around, you'd see that."
Too blind to see the apparent, her mother tears her prince's story pages and throws it in the dust bin. I loved the bit how she tapes it back, and the animation shows us then the desert in tapes. Beautifully thought of!
Words of wisdom keep spewing amidst the laughter of the prince, as the girl reads about him through her taped pages.
"The stars are beautiful because of a flower that cannot be seen. What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."
In comes big advices that will leave you brooding:
"The men where you live grow thousands of roses, and they do not find what they are looking for. What they are looking for can be found in a single rose or a little water."
The conversation of the aviator and the little girl is meanwhile the most nerve-racking kind. He says:
"When the moment does come for me to leave, I have to go alone."
She tries to tell him she wishes to come too, not knowing he talks of death.
"Don't go without me."
Coming Out of The Little Prince's Tale
The Little Prince meanwhile is bidding final adieu to the Aviator after telling him about his tale, and the fact that the snake has promised to end his misery rattles in the backdrop. He is trying to reason with:
"What is most important is invisible."
As a parting gift he tells the aviator:
"In one of those stars, I shall be living. In one of them, I shall be laughing. And so when you look up at the sky at night, it will be as if all the stars are laughing."
With that the snake bites the little prince, beautifully animated again making it disappear with a shimmer.
When the aforementioned is shared with the little girl, it bums her out. She doesn't like how the story ends, incomplete with the little prince swaying in the stars without requiting to his lost waiting rose.
"I will grow up but I will never be a grown up like you."
In that conversation with the aviator, she is angry at him for forgetting and disregarding the little prince. She remarks how he lost all hope, and forgot about fancy.
"You have forgotten everything, you have just become one of the grownups."
She is mad at him beyond limit, and decides to return to her home for good. She doesn't want to see him again, and days pass by. Her life continues with the same tinge of the stagnancy.
Once while returning, she finds the old aviator being taken to the hospital. It's then when she feels truly sorry and runs for him like crazy. It is one of the most emotional segments of the movie, when she doesn't stop at nothing to go see him.
The Second Story: Movie Addition
With an aim to rekindle the prince with its rose, she decides to embark the plane. Meaning she wishes to change the ending to the original. That's when we are introduced to the second part of the story.
It is more like a different world, where characters have lost their purposes. It is a bizarre setup and for a second you start thinking that maybe the girl did start the plane, maybe she did go to a different planet, but then with the oddity, things fall in place. In reality, the girl simply tries to finish the tale with a happy ending, but from a different vantage.
There she meets all of those characters in different shoes, and ultimately the little prince who is all grown up. Her quest to take him to the rose meets fruition when they alight at the prince's planet.
Grab your copy of The Little Prince Book here:
The final moments are the moments of epiphany for her, when despite everything she does the rose ends up dying, and withering away.
"You are supposed to be with her. I am gonna lose him too. And grow up. And forget all about him. Forget it all, forever. I don't wanna lose him."
It decimates you listening to her in despair. But when she realizes, with the hopeful eyes of the little prince, that all it takes is a glint of remembrance, she realizes what she wasn't seeing.
"She was not a common rose. She was the only one of her kind in the whole universe. I remember her. I remember all of it. She is not gone. She is still here. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly."
She concurs having a vision too.
"He will always be with me. I understand now."
Meeting the Aviator in the Hospital
Coming back to the real world, she goes with her "changed" mother to the hospital to see the old aviator again. She offers him the book that had his pages and hers, then shattering into pieces in front of him.
"You run the risk of weeping a little, if you let yourself get tamed."
The movie ends with her mother spending time with her, trying to see the world with a child like gusto. That one star that the little prince had promised would laugh from, then concludes this epic tale.
I recommend every one to watch this movie, if you haven't ever come across The Little Prince before. Highly recommended stuff.
You can check out the trailer of The Little Prince here:
The Little Prince
- Extraordinary Tale
- Mark Osborne depicts sub-plots brilliantly with two different types of animation
- An allegory brimming up with metaphors
- Very poetic and powerful
- Outstanding screenplay
- The Second tale becomes too lengthy
- Not much substance in the second tale

The Zambia Initiative
hands of hope...
A Community of Women Helping Women
and Children a World Away
Imagine growing up without access to clean drinking water, indoor plumbing, basic first aid medications and a lack of food that sends you to bed hungry every night.
Children in sub-Saharan Africa face these conditions on a daily basis. Countries like Zambia, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda lack adequate resources and infrastructure to ensure their citizens are healthy and educated. More than 40% of women in Africa do not have access to basic education and 1 in 16 women will die during pregnancy or childbirth.
Our mission….
Hands of Hope is a community of women committed to helping women and children break free of lives of destitution and hunger to build futures of security and possibility. Our mission is to give
entire communities the sustainable tools they need to feed families, educate children, improve health and become economically self-sufficient.
Hands of Hope partners with local leaders to develop a comprehensive plan to eradicate the devastating conditions associated with extreme poverty. A nearby source of clean water will free
women and children from daylong treks for fresh water; a brick making machine allows fathers to provide building blocks for a new school; a loan portfolio to help local people build businesses,
generates stable income for their families.
More hands, more hope…..
You can help Hands of Hope further their mission. Become a member of the Wildflower Society. Share the gift of chickens and goats with friends and family by purchasing cards that will provide food and income for a family. Volunteer your time with Hands of Hope at the Annual Barrington Garden Fair and Marketplace. Join our growing community in the Chicago area providing sustainable hope and help to the women and children of Africa. Together, we are making a difference!

Two new, co-located facilities will be central to the goals of WyCEHG :
(1) Facility for Imaging the Near- and Sub-surface Environment (FINSE). FINSE will comprise subsurface geophysical imaging instrumentation, encompassing a comprehensive suite of capabilities including acoustic, gravity, electrical, magnetic, ground-penetrating radar, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
(2) Surface and Subsurface Hydrology Lab (SSHL). SSHL will house physical infrastructure to support surface and subsurface hydrological investigations, including equipment for monitoring ecological, hydrological, and geochemical parameters.
(3) Cyberinfrastructure. Bryan Shader, team lead.
Both FINSE and SSHL support educational activities during the effort to bolster Wyoming's workforce in science. The facility instruments will support all research initiatives, including joint deployments in several watershed-scale study sites in Wyoming where key hydrological processes are expressed and critical hypotheses can be tested. The facilities will enable significant new ventures in environmental hydrology and rapid response to stakeholders who have identified water-resource issues that require the concentration of instrumentation and personnel otherwise unavailable in Wyoming.
Data from field sites will help build and validate high-performance computational models of coupled surface and subsurface flow that will run on the new NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center.
Mount Moran is an IBM System X cluster that can be accessed and can provide up to 400 TB of raw storage.

Aviva Premiership
Mitchell poised for Sale switch after quitting Lions
ESPN Staff
November 23, 2012
Former All Blacks coach John Mitchell will soon join Premiership side Sale according to chief executive Steve Diamond © Getty Images
Former All Blacks boss John Mitchell looks set to confirm his move to Premiership side Sale Sharks after stepping down as head coach of the Lions in South Africa.
The Golden Lions Rugby Union has announced that Mitchell, who was recently revealed as part of Sale's newly-formed 'rugby strategy management board', will move into a technical advisor role with the Johannesburg-based Lions and work as a consultant for the next year.
Mitchell, who was recently cleared of misconduct charges levelled against him earlier this year, appears intent on laying the foundations for what he hopes will be the Lions' return to the Super Rugby stage in 2014 having seen them relegated this year but the agreement appears to free him up to make a return to English rugby having previously played for and coached Sale and served as an assistant for former England coach Sir Clive Woodward.
Chief executive Steve Diamond assumed control of the Sharks last month in a bid to improve their fortunes with director of rugby Bryan Redpath moving into a head coach role having seen his side slump to the bottom of the Premiership table on the back of a disastrous run of results.
Diamond has previously stated that he will remain in his current post until the end of the current season but predicted last weekend that Mitchell would link up with the club this week having agreed a satisfactory exit from the Lions. However, Mitchell has stressed he has unfinished business with the Lions.
"I am pleased that Kevin de Klerk and GLRU CEO Ruben Moggee have been extremely supportive of my wish to remain on board at the Lions, while allowing me the chance to consider other associations linked to rugby," said Mitchell.
"I am fully committed to helping the Lions and head coach Johan Ackermann in the rebuilding process. I have unfinished business with the Lions and this new arrangement will enable me to help the team achieve the goals they have set out."
Lions while GLRU president Kevin de Klerk also attempted to draw a line under a troublesome period in the Lions' recent history. "We are looking forward to the future and believe the new agreement with John is the ideal alternative for the Golden Lions," said De Klerk.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for us to utilise John's expertise while offering an up-and-coming coach like Johan the chance to deliver and develop. We would like to thank John for his contribution to this Union thus far and wish him well for his other endeavours in the future."

Atlanta: Double Zero Napoletana Has the Name... But Do They Have the Game?
Double Zero Napoletana
5825 Roswell Road, Atlanta, GA 30328 (Map); 404-991-3666; www.doublezeroatl.com
Pizza type: Neapolitan
Oven type: Wood-burning
The Skinny: More upscale Italian restaurant than pizzeria, Double Zero does a fine pie... if you order the right one
Price: Double Zero Napoletana, $14; Other pies, $11 to $21
With a name like that in lights and out front on one of Atlanta's busiest roads, it's clear where Double Zero Napoletana puts their focus. Or at least where they want you to think they put their focus. Conversations about The A's pizza scene seldom mention Double Zero in the same breath as Varasano's or Antico or Fritti or even newcomers like Buckhead's Fuoco di Napoli or Decatur's Sapori di Napoli. I think I may have seen why.
On a recent visit, I found a very upscale restaurant that just happens to have eight pies on the menu... with a seemingly-confusing, sometimes-maddening sense of pomp and snootiness thrown in. I'd certainly go back for a nice evening of high-end Southern Italian cuisine with the missus on date night, but I'd stop short of calling Double Zero one of the best pizza places in the city.
First impressions count for a lot in any dining experience, and there was a blitzkrieg of them for me at Double Zero. First, valet parking. Okay, not your average pizzeria. Then the super-dark interior, so ritzy that one immediately feels uncomfortably underdressed. Next, the stiff suit-and-tie maitre d' walked my party past the twin fire-breathing ovens decked out in black tile, but only after making a big show of calling me "Mister Brock" and admonishing a foodrunner for passing apparently too close or too quickly in front of us. This was starting to feel less like a pizza place and more like a fancypants eatery where you might find a $450 bottle of wine on the menu. (Yep, there it is.)
Double Zero makes a big production about not just what's in their pies (the namesake flour, DOP San Marzano tomatoes, Fior-di-Latte or mozzarella di Bufala) but also how they serve the pies. They go all bold type on the menu to inform you of some of the hard and fast rules of Neapolitan pizza. They will NOT serve your pizza cut into slices or as a to-go item. Nor can you just build your own pie with whatever toppings trip your trigger. You may eliminate a topping from the pie of your choice, but you may not substitute. (You can, however, add a farm egg, anchovy, chiles, prosciutto, or arugula to any pie for an upcharge.) I went with the flagship Double Zero Napoletana, a sauceless pie with olive oil, garlic, bufala mozz, prosciutto, pecorino, basil oil, and a whole lotta arugula. After using the supplied scissors to cut into my pie, I was rewarded with a sexy view of the inner workings of the crust's rim.
As expected, each slice was wet enough at the point to be a two-handed affair. The cornicione was spongy and slightly doughy, if perhaps otherwise unremarkable flavor-wise. The underside showed gorgeous black char spots, but the darkly-lit dining room left me with no good pics of it. While my pie was technically very sound in its construction, made with clearly top-notch ingredients, and cooked by a skilled hand, the Double Zero tasted to me like a salad atop a pizza crust. The thin prosciutto helped, but was almost certainly added post-firing along with the arugula, and, combined with a simple oil dressing and some grated cheese, only added to the salad vibe. Yes, it's a classic combo, but for $17, I personally wanted something with more pop. Also at my table was "The American"—a tomato-based creation crowned with sausage, mushrooms, red peppers, and a mozz/provolone blend—that was much more to my liking. Looking back over the menu now, I'd order any other pie (the Affettati with its spicy soppressata, the Maiale with its bacon and goat cheese, and certainly the Margherita all look like winners) over the eponymously named pie.
But the menu also veers away from pizzas with plenty of pasta dishes, a long rundown of small plates, and a handful of other entrees, not all of which feel exactly at home on this menu or in this setting. (I'm sure the Scottish salmon is divine, but seems a tad incongruous.) Apart from the tasty arancini above, I can only speak for the pizzas; I'd happily stray from a pie on my next visit. Maybe the key to Double Zero Napoletana is to not pay too much attention to that name out front. When I think of it as a gourmet Southern Italian special-occasion kind of destination, I do find myself wanting to go back. When I try to think about it as a serious pizza place, though, I get a little distracted by rules about toppings and maitre d's and Scottish salmon and $17 piles of arugula.

Inouye's widow endorses Hanabusa for Senate
The widow of Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye gave her blessing to Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, endorsing her husband's protégé for the Senate over the Democrat who got appointed to his seat.
Irene Hirano Inouye said in a statement that she is honoring her husband's dying wish as she takes an early stand in what will be a competitive Democratic primary between Hanabusa and appointed Sen. Brian Schatz. next year.
Daniel Inouye, who served Hawaii continuously since it became a state in 1959, died in December. Before Inouye died, he sent a letter to Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie reportedly asking that Hanabusa be appointed to replace him. Abercrombie instead chose Schatz, his lieutenant governor.
Hanabusa jumped into the 2014 race on Thursday.
"His last wish was that Colleen serve out his term because he was confident in her ability to step into the Senate and immediately help Hawaii," Irene Inouye said. "I am honoring one of his last requests and look forward to supporting Colleen on the campaign trail."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has signaled it will back Schatz, who has already raised $1.1 million for the 2014 race. He took the rare step of acknowledging Inouye's endorsement on Friday, saying he spoke to her after news first broke about Hanabusa's candidacy.
"I phoned Mrs. Inouye to express my respect for her and the late senator," he said. "Mrs. Inouye very graciously informed me she would be supporting Rep. Hanabusa's candidacy."

A legal showdown is about to begin over whether six counties where voters have approved slot machines can actually install them. The Attorney general says no, but courts and the legislature may have a different opinion.
Voters in conservative Lee County in SW Florida voted overwhelmingly for Mitt Romney. But they voted even more solidly for slot machines, approving them by almost a two to one margin.
On election day, voters in Brevard and Palm Beach counties also said yes to slots. That brings the total to six counties that have said yes to slots since January.
Prior to the first vote, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi told the Department that supervises slots that it didn't matter how people voted, they could not issue a license. Attorney Mark Dunbar, who has an interest in this barrel racing track, disagrees. "There are a couple of cases that will likely be filed in the next six to eight weeks that will push the issue a little bit now that the voters have overwhelmingly said they would like to have slot machines at their pari-mutual facilities."
As slots backers get ready to go to court, state lawmakers are about to begin a two year review of every gambling regulation in the state".
The state does already has slots, Indian casino's, boats to nowhere, and internet cafe's, and Senate President Don Gaetz says each is regulated differently.
"We have completely unregulated aspects of gaming like internet cafes then we have over regulated aspects of gaming like some of our dog tracks and horse tracks."
Any changes put the deal with the Seminole Tribe in jeopardy, The deal the state cut with the Seminole tribe expires in two years, and another full court press for destination casinos is expected over the next two years.

I had a great time on this shoot last weekend. It's so fun to work with my daughter when she's digging the attention. She doesn't always enjoy the spotlight, but on occasion she shines in it. The processing on these was meant to push the envelope a bit and be edgy, artistic & hopefully fun to view. My very favorite photograph of the shoot won't be displayed on here until next Tuesday…not b/c I'm trying to tease you, but b/c there are five versions and I cannot decide on which version I shall post. Since I used textures in the photo I'm going to give myself until Tuesday to sort it all out. 🙂
For being in almost total darkness except for my external SB800 I think this came out exceptional. I love the iron gate glistening behind her and the soft grip she naturally used to hold onto it with, never mind her staring me down *LOL*~
Brit giggled when I showed her this one…I couldn't get her to giggle at the shoot though-
stubborn, pretty girl. One of the two textures used on this photo will be available here on Tuesday for FREE~
I did get her to give me this beautiful smile though~
I liked this one so much for some reason…possibly the setting?
Maybe…b/c it's my daughter…um-yeah, that's it~
Isn't this dress fantastic? Loved it!
My thoughts exactly!!! The texture in the background on this photo will be available on Tuesday for FREE if you come back to grab it.
Do it people-BE PHOTOGRAPHED…or BE FORGOTTEN.
Here's Brit's other photo from Sunday and don't you dare forget to come visit on Tuesday when I post my FAVORITE shot of Brit…goodness I seriously need help picking which version to share.

The state could change its strategy for eliminating chronic wasting disease in Wisconsin.
The Natural Resources Board will take up proposed changes next week. State wildlife officials want the area where officials are trying to kill all the deer enlarged.
The board will consider a plan to that would revise population goals for the disease eradication zones in parts of Columbia, Dane, Iowa, Kenosha, Richland, Rock, Sauk and Walworth counties.
Testing so far has found 321 wild deer with the disease in those areas. The Department of Natural Resources previously wanted to kill every deer in the eradication zones.
The proposal the board will consider would instead change the population goals to less than five deer per square mile.
