Yup, you are seeing right. It is another new character from an upcoming movie called 'Escape from Planet Earth'. This tutorial will be on "how to draw Scorch Supernova" who happens to be one of the main figures from the film. I obviously know that the movie won't be a big blockbuster hit because Brendan Fraser is the voice of the main character. Scorch is from planet Baab and he is what you call a well known astronaut as well as a national hero. He travels to Earth on another dangerous mission where he finds himself trapped in Area 51. In an attempt to save his brother from captivity, Gary Supernova is the one that is left with the responsibility to save his brother Scorch, his wife Kira, and what else, his home planet Baab. Drawing Scorch will be simple so don't think it's going to complex. I will be back with some other fun stuff for you artistic people on Dragoart.com.

Coverage: U.S. | Great Britain | Canada
AMSTERDAM—Four current and former Harvard/Radcliffe rowers earned bronze medals at the 2011 World Rowing Under 23 Championships, which concluded Sunday on the Bosbaan, while three others qualified for their respective A finals.
Harvard lightweight rising sophomore Andrew Campbell, representing the United States, placed third in the lightweight men's single, while former Radcliffe heavyweight Olivia Coffey '11 stroked the U.S. women's eight to bronze. Harvard heavyweights Andrew Holmes and Patrick Lapage and rest of the Great Britain men's eight also placed third.
In the men's four, David Wakulich '11 and Canada placed fourth, missing a medal by 1.6 seconds, while senior Michael DiSanto and the U.S. entry finished sixth. Lizzy Bates '11 and her partner placed sixth for the United States in the lightweight women's double.
Harvard lightweight junior Stuart Taylor and his fellow Canadians finished 10th in the lightweight men's four, while the U.S. lightweight quad of Crimson oarsmen Matt O'Leary, Erich Schultze, Michael Wales and Alex Newell placed 13th.
All three Harvard/Radcliffe medal-winning performances came on the final day of racing. Campbell, who is coached by Harvard lightweight assistant Linda Muri, was the first to compete. He and his fellow medalists built a six-second lead on the second half of the final field by the race's midway point. With a time of 6:57.00, he finished 8.7 seconds ahead of the fourth-place Peruvian athlete and two seconds back of the silver medalist from Greece. France's Jeremie Azou won gold out of an event field totaling 25 competitors.
Coffey and the defending-champion U.S. women's eight led a tightly packed field through 500 meters, but Canada and New Zealand moved ahead in the second 500. The Canadians went on to win by 2.8 seconds, while the Americans finished in 06:07.37, 1.35 seconds back of the Kiwis and 5.6 ahead of fourth-place Germany.
The British men's eight was fourth throughout its final, but eclipsed Germany in the final 500 meters to take bronze in 5:29.15. Lapage and Holmes finished 1.8 seconds before the Germans and less than three seconds after runner-up Czech Republic. The U.S. eight won gold in 5:24.31. It was the second straight summer with a U23 bronze for Lapage and Holmes, who rowed in the British four last year.
Former Harvard boatmates Wakulich and DiSanto faced each other in the men's coxless four final Saturday. Greece edged the Canadians for the bronze medal, as Wakulich's boat reached the line in 5:56.99. The U.S. boat finished in 6:03.51, while Germany took gold.
Bates and Sarah Keller gave the United States its best lightweight women's double finish ever last summer, taking ninth. They improved by three spots this year, making the A final and finishing sixth in 7:15.68.
After missing the semifinals by one spot with a fourth-place finish in the repechage, the U.S. lightweight men's quad, coached Muri, won the C final by more than three seconds in 5:58.35. Taylor and the Canadian lightweight men's four avoided the repechage with a third-place heat showing and went on to place fourth in the B final in 6:08.67.

A reporter's right to protect confidential sources, a topic of debate both in the U.S. and internationally, will undergo another round of legal scrutiny after federal prosecutors formally appealed a decision shielding journalist James Risen's sources in a CIA leak case.
Press freedom advocates hailed the U.S. District Court judge's ruling in July that Risen did not have to identify his sources during the trial of former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling for disclosing classified information, calling it a landmark First Amendment decision. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors appealed the ruling, according to news reports.
In his 2006 book State of War, Risen, who is also a national security reporter for The New York Times, described a botched, top-secret CIA operation to sabotage Iran's alleged nuclear program. The federal government has sought to compel Risen to reveal his source for his information multiple times in conjunction with its criminal case against Sterling. Risen, invoking his First Amendment rights, has fought three subpoenas of his testimony since 2008, all of which have failed, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP).
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled in July that while Risen must testify as to the accuracy of his reporting and verify some information and quotes in his book, he would not be compelled to reveal his source. The Justice Department has argued that a qualified reporter's privilege hasn't been established, and that even if it were recognized, it wouldn't apply in this case because the government didn't have an alternative source for the information it is seeking. However, Brinkema's opinion stated that the courts have recognized a qualified reporter's privilege to protect confidential sources under the First Amendment and that Risen's right to protect his source in this instance outweighed the prosecutor's need to establish his case.
Judge Brinkema also noted in the decision that the government had ample other evidence to prove that Sterling was Risen's source, thus failing one of the criteria imposed by a Fourth Circuit court decision that would overcome the reporter's privilege. "A criminal trial subpoena is not a free pass for the government to rifle through a reporter's notebook," Brinkema's ruling states. "The government must establish that there is a compelling interest for the journalist's testimony, and that there are no other means for obtaining the equivalent of that testimony." The government failed in both respects, she wrote.
The case marked the first time a journalist was successful in invoking the privilege to refuse to testify at both the grand jury and trial stages of a federal prosecution, RCFP said, making it a First Amendment milestone in the eyes of some legal scholars. Nonetheless, The New York Times reported, other scholars were troubled by the judge's argument that Risen's testimony could be "adverse to his penal interest because receiving classified information without proper authorization is a federal felony." This reasoning could be interpreted as validating the use of the Espionage Act against journalists, the Times said, although no such prosecution has been successful.
The Risen case is the latest in a series of high-profile U.S. prosecutions involving confidential sources over the past decade. In 2005, Judith Miller was jailed for 85 days for refusing to divulge her source in another CIA leak case. In the same proceeding, Time magazine White House correspondent Matthew Cooper, who was also facing contempt charges, agreed to testify after a prolonged fight to avoid jail time. Rhode Island television reporter Jim Taricani was ordered to spend six months under house arrest in 2004 for refusing to reveal who leaked an FBI surveillance tape. Risen himself, who has frequently been a thorn in the sides of government officials, was held in contempt by a federal judge in 2004 for refusing to identify sources for stories about Wen Ho Lee, the nuclear scientist once suspected of spying.
The right to protect journalistic sources has been a topic of debate internationally as well. Mexican journalists have been guaranteed the right to protect the identity of their sources since 2006. In January 2010, the French Parliament passed the "Law 2010-1 of January 4, 2010, on the Protection of Journalistic Sources," which enshrines the reporter's privilege except in cases of "overwhelming public interest." Despite this legislation, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been embroiled for a year in a scandal in which he is accused of illegally intercepting journalists' phone calls in order to determine the identity of government sources.
In the midst of the News Corp. International phone hacking scandal in the U.K. this year, the London Metropolitan Police tried to use the Official Secrets Act in September to force The Guardian to reveal Scotland Yard sources for stories about the now-defunct News of the World. Officials later dropped the issue.
International courts and treaties have also weighed in. Principle eight of the OAS's Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression states that "Every social communicator has the right to keep his/her source of information, notes, personal and professional archives confidential." In September 2010, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights built on earlier rulings that established the right of journalists to protect sources, and unanimously held that police cannot search media premises or seize journalistic materials unless they can show it is absolutely necessary in the investigation of a serious crime and have obtained a judicial warrant.
In the U.S., 40 states have "shield laws" in place to protect journalists from being forced to reveal confidential sources, according to RCFP, but a federal version has been stalled in Congress for years.
An attorney for Risen, Joel Kurtzberg, told Politico he would fight the appeal.

Randy Quaid won't have to worry about any more court appearances after prosecutors dropped felony charges against the actor.
Quaid's wife, Evi, however, will be on probation for three years after she pleaded no contest Wednesday in Santa Barbara to a misdemeanor count of defrauding an innkeeper.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Arnie Tolks says Evi Quaid will also have to perform 240 hours of community service.
The couple had been charged with defrauding an innkeeper out of more than $10,000 as well as conspiracy and burglary.
Their legal saga had included several missed court appearances and a brief stint in jail Monday after they showed up to court two weeks after missing their last hearing.
The Quaids' attorney, Robert Sanger, saysthe couple is pleased with the outcome.

Sheet containing a handwritten poem by Mrs. Z. P. Ormsby or Mrs. F. P. Ormsby of Fayette, Maine, on her 85th birthday. The person who received this poem indicated it had been sent by cousin C. E. Fales.
There was a Zeriah Powers who married Daniel Ormsby on 18 May 1815 at Wilton, Maine; they settled at Fayette. From what I could find online, she lived to be at least 85. Perhaps she went by F. P. rather than Z. P.?
I found a reference of the marriage of Lemira C. Ormsby and Francis Pennell on 10 December 1843 in Kennebec County, Maine.
Makes one wonder if Francis Pennell's last name was perhaps also Ormsby, or if one of Lemira's male relatives had a child named after Francis.
At first I had thought this poem might have been written by Fidelia Phelps, who married James Ormsby or Ormsbee, but I found a date of death for her that indicated she lived only into her 40s, if that reference is correct.
I'm hoping that a member of the Ormsby family or Fayette, Maine, historian will solve the mystery of the poem's author by leaving a comment in the comments box or contacting me directly.
My Old House
I hail once more my natal day
Still in the tenement of clay
With many favors blest
And he who planned this structure here
Can keep it up another year
If he should think it best.
Long has it stood through snows and rains
And braced life's fearful hurricanes
While many stronger fell
The reason why we cannot tell
But what may seem a mystery
The Builder knows full well
But it is rather worn and old
The summer's heat and winter's cold
Pierce through the walls and roof
'Tis like a garment so worn out
To mend there seems no where about
So gone is warp and woof
The tottering pillars all are weak
The poor old rusty hinges creak
The windows too are dim
These slight discomforts we'll let pass
For looking darkly through a glass
We catch a hopeful gleam.
Nature and reason tell us all
This shattered frame ere long must fall
When, Where, or how is all unknown
We'll leave that to the Architects
And trust his wisdom to direct
The taking of it down.
And when you see it prostrate lie
Let not a tear bedew the eye
The tenant is not here
But just beyond Time's little space
She finds some quiet resting place
No more to date her year.
And though she dwells with you no more
The world will move just as before
This must - it should be so
Let each her house in order set
That she may leave without regret
Whenever called to go.
Written by Mrs. F. P. Ormsby, Fayette, Maine, on her 85th Birthday. This was sent to me by cousin C. E. Fales.

How did Hull City do in the window?
Ins and Outs
Players in: Jake Livermore (Tottenham, £8m), Robert Snodgrass (Norwich, £7m), Tom Ince (Blackpool, tribunal), Karim Rossi (Stoke, free), Harry Maguire (Sheffield United, £2.5m), Andrew Robertson (Dundee United, £2.85m). Michael Dawson (Tottenham, undisclosed), Abel Hernandez (Palermo, undisclosed), Brian Lenihan (Cork City, undisclosed), Mohamed Diame (West Ham, undisclosed), Gaston Ramirez (Southampton, loan), Hatem Ben Arfa (Newcastle, loan)
Players out: Matty Fryatt (Nottingham Forest, free), Joe Dudgeon (Barnsley, loan), Abdoulaye Faye (released), Robert Koren (released), Mark Oxley (Hibernian, loan), Shane Long (Southampton, undisclosed), George Boyd (Burnley, undisclosed)
PREMIER LEAGUE: Arsenal | Aston Villa | Burnley | Chelsea | Crystal Palace | Everton | Hull City | Leicester City | Liverpool | Man City | Man Utd | Newcastle | QPR | Southampton | Stoke | Sunderland | Swansea | Tottenham | West Brom | West Ham
Summing up the window
Most Hull City fans probably felt that manager Steve Bruce already had a squad capable of competing in the Premier League -- a little light in some areas, notably up front, but in generally decent shape. What happened on the final day signings were permitted was therefore something of a surprise: £10m on Uruguayan international Hernández was perhaps not a total shock, though seeing City pay that sum of money for the first time in their history still produced a whistling-through-your-teeth sort of noise.
Adding Ben Arfa, who can infuriate and amaze in equal measure, was unexpected (and hasn't gone down well on Tyneside). Ramírez was a £12m player just two summers ago and has evident class, while Diamé can only add to the Tigers' midfield options.
Exit-wise, there are probably fewer departing than anticipated. Long left a few weeks ago for a fee widely thought to favour City over Southampton, while Boyd's departure to Burnley is understandable and £3m a fair price.
City have spent big, very big for a club of their resources. On the field, it can only benefit the manager, though there are those who'll wonder quite how affordable this shopping spree is. The jury is out on that for now - all we know is that this is by far the best Hull City squad of all time. 8/10.
Best piece of business?
In terms of value and potential, the sub-£3m paid for Robertson from Dundee United already looks a steal -- he could be worth many times that in years to come, a flying full-back to really enthuse and excite supporters. However, the signing of Dawson is a real coup for Bruce. An international-quality defender still at the height of his powers, with masses of experience and a model professional to boot, it's the sort of signing that signals just how far the club has come.
Worst piece of business?
Even though it's not his fault, Snodgrass. Stricken with injury in the first league game of the season, he probably won't be seen in black and amber until 2015-16 now. A great pity.
What remaining issues are there?
For a club striving to establish itself in the top flight, there is little else that any City fan could realistically hope for. It must be hoped that Hernández and Nikica Jelavić gel quickly, as the iffy form of Sone Aluko and Yannick Sagbo combined with Boyd's departure leave Bruce not overburdened with attacking options.
Who can help in January?
Every single football fan in the world will say this about their team, but one more forward would be nice, just to cover injuries/suspensions/loss of form. Fraizer Campbell's time at City ended a little sourly -- perhaps he fancies a kissing and making up?

Rock-a-bye Boigon, Denver mayoral candidate hits baby shower
Carol Boigon showed up late today for a baby shower for Denver Health but she had a good excuse: she also has five mayoral events.
Boigon, one of 10 candidates for mayor, arrived shortly after the shower was supposed to end at 4 p.m. Many guests already had gone by the time she opened her trunk and pulled out a box of disposable diapers.
She said she tried to get there on time. (She doesn't have to explain herself to me. I cover political events. I know they never keep to schedule.)

Harvard fell behind early in only its second shutout setback of the season (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's hockey team could not overcome two goals scored in the first period as it fell to UMass Lowell, 5-0, in a non-conference matchup Monday night at the Bright Hockey Center.
Raphael Girard made 27 saves in net for Harvard (4-4-1), while Conor Hellebuyk made 30 stops for UMass-Lowell (6-7-1). The River Hawks owned a slight edge on shots, 32-30.
Joseph Pendenza and Jake Suter paced UMass-Lowell with two points apiece, each on a goal and an assist.
With 15 minutes remaining in the first period, Desmond Bergin put a hard shot on net from just outside the left circle, but Hellebuyck made the stop to keep the game scoreless.
Just over 60 ticks later, the River Hawks got on the board when Riley Wetmore passed it off to Josh Holmstrom, who found Dmitry Sinistyn in front of the net. Sinistyn shot through traffic and placed the puck under Girard's glove with 13:57 remaining in the period.
The Crimson, which came into the game with 29 of 31 penalties killed this season, gave up an uncharacteristic power play goal with less than five minutes remaining in the first period. Moments after Luke Greiner made his way to the penalty box for charging, Pendenza fed Chad Ruhwedel off a faceoff, and the junior defenseman registered his first score of the season to give UMass Lowell an early two-goal cushion.
Harvard was not without its opportunities in the second stanza. Jimmy Vesey had a chance from close-range early, while Bergin took a shot right in front of the net minutes later, but Hellebuyk kept the puck out of the cage both times.
Girard and the Harvard defense clamped down in the second period, allowing just eight shots on goal and stopping a bevy of attempts with around 9:30 remaining, including one from directly in front of the net by Terrence Wallin.
During a scurry in the front of the cage midway through the third period, Kyle Criscuolo could not push the puck past Hellebuyk as the Crimson remained scoreless.
Girard made a difficult, diving save on a hard shot by Ryan McGrath with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game to keep the score at 2-0, but the River Hawks tallied a trio of goals in the final minutes to secure the win.
The first came with 5:59 remaining, when Michael Colantone found Ryan McGrath in the corner. The freshman turned around and passed the puck to Suter, who blasted the puck by Girard from the point for his first collegiate goal.
Scott Wilson skated quickly down the ice with 2:30 remaining for a score off helpers from Suter and Derek Arnold to give UMass-Lowell a commanding 4-0 lead. With 42.5 seconds left in the game, Riley Wetmore fed Pendenza from the corner, and the Wilmington, Mass., product posted the fifth and final goal of the contest for the River Hawks on a power play as Harvard suffered just its second shutout loss of the season.
The Crimson will have nearly three weeks to rest up before taking on Northeastern at home Dec. 29 at 7 p.m.

In his speech at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Professor Steven Salaita, who was "de-hired" by that school quite suddenly
after the university's chancellor faced strong pressure from major donors objecting to Salaita's tweets about Israel's massive military campaign in Gaza, issued this warning: "As the Center for Constitutional Rights and other groups have been tracking, this is part of a nationwide, concerted effort by wealthy and well-organized groups to attack pro-Palestinian students and faculty and silence their speech. This risks creating a Palestinian exception to the First Amendment and to academic freedom."
At Ohio University, we recently saw the disturbing reality of the different treatment accorded to pro-Israel, as opposed to pro-Palestinian views which supports Salaita's statement. Read More at LobeLog

Sergei Nakonechniy was sitting in a cafe in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk when a middle-aged woman rose from a nearby table and stormed toward him. She pointed to his camouflage jacket, which bore the insignia of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army – a controversial World War II anti-Soviet movement.
"Your fascist badges and uniforms are provoking the whole conflict in this country," she shouted at the pro-Ukraine activist and journalism student. "All of our problems are because of you and your fascist friends from western Ukraine. You should be ashamed!"
With Crimea effectively part of Russia, if perhaps not legally, Mr. Nakonechniy and other residents of Ukraine's pro-Russian eastern regions are now the new focus in the battle for the future of this country of about 46 million. But Donetsk and the industrialized region around it, known as the Donbass, are less likely to follow Crimea's example due to an array of constraining factors – not least among them a generational divide between youths like Nakonechniy and their parents who still harbor an affinity for Russia.
A former Soviet industry hub
Unlike Crimea, the Donbass has a stable economic base from its industrial output and coal resources – an inheritance from its Soviet past.
Older generations in the Donbass nostalgically remember the Soviet Union, when the coal miners, steel workers, and laborers in the region's heavy industries were heralded as heroes building a utopian, communist future. They were rewarded with vacations on the Black Sea resorts and received special food packages with high-quality delicacies not available in state-owned grocery stores.
For many in Donetsk, the antigovernment protests in Kiev and across western Ukraine seemed to be a dismissal of the respect they deserved in building the Soviet state. So when Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his March 18 speech, which announced his decision to annex Crimea, that USSR dissolution was one of the century's biggest tragedies, people in Donetsk felt he was acknowledging them.
Nakonechniy's father shares those sentiments. A construction worker, he lives and works in Moscow, and stopped speaking to his son three months ago – after the shock of learning that he had participated in the antigovernment protests on Kiev's Maidan square.
In Donetsk, Euromaidan activists have tried to stage rallies to support Ukrainian unity. At their height, the numbers have reached into the hundreds – a scenario that would have been impossible in pre-referendum Crimea, where opponents to joining Russia had all but been forced underground.
People of all ages attended the rallies in Donetsk, according to Katya Zhemchuzhnykova, a young local pro-EU activist. But there is a large portion of the pro-Europe supporters who are young, like Nakonechniy, and "identify themselves as Ukrainian and as being born in independent Ukraine," Ms. Zhemchuzhnykova said.
"They might speak Russian, but they see themselves as Ukrainians," she said.
Moscow's gravitational pull
Many people here feel similarly bound to Moscow, if not by citizenship then by a deep historic bond. Pro-Russia demonstrators greatly outnumbered a pro-Ukraine group on March 13, when a violent clash in the city center left one person dead and scores injured. Today, people with Russian flags guard the statue of Lenin in the city's central square.
"For us, watching the destruction of Lenin statues around Ukraine was heartbreaking," said Lyudmila Kanchanovskaya, a local teacher. "We have a lot to be grateful for what he did for us. He gave hundreds of millions of Russians an education…. We may not be the Soviet Union anymore, but we shouldn't forget his role in our history and just remove him."
But at the same time, support for a full-out split with Kiev is much more measured here, even among the pro-Russian activists.
"As I see it, there are now two options for Ukraine: become a federation or completely disappear as a country," says Sergei Buntovskiy, an activist from Russian Bloc, a pro-Moscow political party. "But dividing the country? No one wants this, the older generations or the younger ones. If a referendum were held today, I think only 30 percent of the population would agree to it."
Russian troops would also not be as widely supported here as they were in Crimea, Mr. Buntovskiy said. "I think more than half of the population would be very scared by troops arriving in Donbass."
"Crimea has a stronger history of the nationalist question than we do here," said Ms. Zhemchuzhnykova, the pro-EU activist. "We are more mixed here because so many different Soviet people came here to work. That may save us from Russia trying to use ethnicity as a tool in this game."
The language flashpoint
If Kiev grants rights and guarantees to eastern Ukraine, many residents say, a future under the Ukrainian flag is possible.
Those who are in favor of closer ties with Russia reject what they say are nationalist tones from the new government in Kiev. They want equal rights for Russian speakers, spelled out in laws that would allow commercials, signs, and most importantly educational institutions, to use Russian.
"Right now, students have to write dissertations in Ukrainian," said Buntovskiy, who is a Ph.D. candidate in economics at the Donetsk National University. "If I write a research paper in Ukrainian, my potential audience is about 30 million. If I write it in Russian, that number grows about 5 times."
Language issues are a driving force in the debate for Ukraine's future, and the new Kiev government has played a part in fueling the tension. Shortly after being sworn into office, the parliament passed a law that essentially barred equal status for the Russian language in regions like Donetsk. The interim Ukrainian president, Oleksandr Turchynov, vetoed the law in an attempt to deescalate the situation.
The interim government in Kiev this week signaled that it was examining legislation to allow for more regional autonomy, which could allow individual districts to decide for themselves about language and other local issues. For many younger eastern Ukrainians like Buntovskiy, these sort of changes are the only way to remain part of Ukraine. But Kiev must "cease trying to make Ukraine a nationalist dictatorship," he said.
Many in the older generations here, who remember what communist life was like, feel ready to join Russia because they think they will have a better, more stable life, Buntovskiy said. For them, it's not a matter of feeling more Russian or more Ukrainian. Often, they simply say that they feel more Soviet, and that is largely what has driven the divide between the generations.
"We are Soviet people here, and we shouldn't be shamed for that," Kanchanovskaya said. "In the west, they have their heroes, who fought against our grandfathers [in World War II]. "But they aren't heroes to us. We have our Soviet heroes, and we are proud of them."

TUSCALOOSA | With the completion of flood map revisions for areas within the tornado zone, Tuscaloosa's Office of the City Engineer is now ready to re-examine flood-prone areas citywide.
TUSCALOOSA | With the completion of flood map revisions for areas within the tornado zone, Tuscaloosa's Office of the City Engineer is now ready to re-examine flood-prone areas citywide.
The City Council's Finance Committee voted May 14 to grant a $100,000 contract to CFM Group to examine the entire city for areas to revise floodplain boundaries. A final vote of the City Council, expected later this month, will make the contract effective.
Officials said CFM Group's review will take about 120 days and that there are several previously defined floodplains throughout Tuscaloosa that have been reduced in recent years because of storm water drainage improvements.
By reducing the maps and getting them approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the cost of flood insurance to city residents can fall drastically.
"If we systematically prioritize and correct the maps as recommended over the next decade, the savings could run into the millions citywide," said Chad Christian, the city's storm drainage engineer.
Insurance savings are already available to residents and businesses that have returned to the path taken by the April 27, 2011, tornado.
The city participates in FEMA's Flood Mitigation Assistance Program, which helps offset flood insurance costs for property owners but limits what can be built inside a federally designated floodway, which is a defined area within the floodplain.
Environmental regulations make construction in areas with a floodway designation virtually impossible.
In April, revised floodway maps for three areas within the tornado recovery zone were approved by FEMA after more than a year of review.
City Hall addressed the map revision process in three phases: the Forest Lake area; the area between 15th Street at Contemporary Mitsubishi and Krispy Kreme on McFarland Boulevard, which includes the Cedar Crest neighborhood; and the area between the Forest Lake neighborhood and Alberta.
In almost every instance, the floodplain was reduced to city-constructed storm drainage channels, some of which have been in place as long as the early 1980s.
"There will be substantial savings realized over time by property owners (in the tornado zone) due to the elimination of annual flood insurance premiums," Christian said.
Much of the citywide floodplain revisions will be improved by the ongoing work of a massive storm water drainage improvement project that the city has dubbed Noah's Ark.
Since 2007, the Noah's Ark bond issue has funded more than 30 drainage improvement projects across the city, with costs ranging from $30,000 to $4.8 million per project.
A total of almost $26 million has been invested in the project that originally was budgeted at $21 million for 13 projects, but has since been expanded through interest earnings as well as $4.5 million in federal grant funds.
City officials have said that several of these areas will see their first significant floodplain update since the federally-recognized floodplain maps were introduced in 1979. This is because, at one time, it was not the city's policy to modify the maps in conjunction with a project that improved the drainage in a particular area.

I'm visiting my parents next week and if I remember I'll see if I can dig it out and let you know.
However this does make me wish that the Clannad Songbook Moya promised us 10 years ago would finally be completed and released as the Pastpresent book just isn't enough for us budding musicians.

Product Review: La Mer The Cleansing Foam
La Mer The Cleansing Foam contains marine extracts, a combination of fine jade and white pearl powders, magnetized tourmaline, and Deconstructed Waters. Marine extracts have anti-irritation and calming properties. Sea algae fibers boost the foaming action to create a rich lather. The exclusive combination of fine jade and white pearl powders is rich in amino acids to gently polish the skin for a bright complexion.
La Mer's magnetized tourmaline and Deconstructed Waters can modify the property of water and improve cleansing performance. When water is divided into positively charged energy-carrying molecular clusters, it becomes compatible with impurities and makeup. Therefore, it can wash them away without irritating the skin. From the ingredient-and-formula perspective, it seems to make sense why it costs that much.
After three weeks of use, I found the little black/white heads on my nose have decreased gradually. I guess the fine jade and white pearl powders work like micro-beads to polish the skin and help clear the sebum-clogged pores. The Cleansing Foam has a light scent reminiscent of baby powders. It smells very refreshing and uplifting. I love the clean, crisp scent lingering on my face in a natural way. Overall, this cleansing foam is very likable. I can see myself using it everyday.
*This sample is provided by La Mer. However, this review is solely based on my personal opinions after using this product.*

Here is Stephen Baldwin's Ridiculously Good-Looking Mugshot
Attention all: this is not a promotional photo of Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock, it is Alec Baldwin's brother, Stephen's actual, honest to God mugshot.
Stephen, the youngest of the Baldwin brothers four, was arrested yesterday in Rockland County, New York for failing to pay his taxes in 2010. And 2009. And 2008. He allegedly owes more than $350,000 in taxes and penalties.
Baldwin has pleaded not guilty and has since been released from jail on his own recognizance. His lawyer, Russell Yanwitt tells the Los Angeles Times:
Mr. Baldwin did not commit any crimes, and he's working with the district attorney's office and the New York State Tax Department to resolve any differences.
Baldwin is charged with failure to file state income taxes, a felony, for which he could face up to four years in prison. He's due back in court February 5.

Common Core Connection:
One new concept that goes hand in hand with Common Core aligned-teaching and that gets a lot of attention is the student taking on the responsibility for his/her learning and the teacher as being more of a guide or facilitator. In this lesson, where my students were required to read closely and interpret words and phrases as well ask and answer questions to help determine or clarify the meaning of words and phrases in a text, I was the facilitator while they led the way to their learning new skills. Though it's not always the easiest way to teach, it can yield incredible results when working with tough, rigorous content.
Lesson Overview:
In this lesson my students worked together to discover and learn additional ways to determine new word and phrase meanings.
To begin this lesson about monitor and clarify I showed my students the cover of our big book, Caribbean Dream, and I read the title to them. I then asked if any of them had heard of the word "Caribbean" before. After a moment of think time I called on students who had their hand up and quickly realized that they were unfamiliar with this word and where the area is on the map. (I was expecting students to tell me about one of the "Pirate of Caribbean" movies, but, strangely enough, none of them even knew of the word within the context of those movies).
I started off by re-emphasizing what we had learned in previous lessons: "You don't know what the Caribbean is? Well, how can you find out what something is?" After a moment of think time, I had my students whisper their answers in their hands (Demonstration: Whisper to Me). I then used the magic cup (Demonstration: Magic Cup) to select three students to share their answers with the class. These three student's answers included: read more and look in a book. As I validated their answers, the rest of the class agreed by showing me a thumb up (Demonstration: Thumb Up, Thumb Down). I also added they could use what they already knew, look at the pictures, ask a friend, do a Google search, or even go "old school" and look in a dictionary. (Introducing Monitor and Clarify)
I then pointed to the front cover of Caribbean Dream and told them to look at the picture and use what they know to tell me what they thought the word "Caribbean" meant. This time they were able to tell me it looked like an island or a beach. "Correct!" I responded. Then I told them to listen to find out more. As I read the poetic story I instructed my students to listen and think about the words, and look at and think about the pictures.
As I read each page I stopped and gave them a little extra time to look at the picture and asked them what a specific word meant. For example, "Rain meets ground, we splash." I asked them to explain the meaning of these words. After looking at the picture, they were able to tell me the phrase meant playing around in mud puddles created from a rain storm.
When I finished reading, I reminded my students if they did not know what a word or phrase was or meant they could look in a book, re-read the passage, look for picture clues, use what they already know, ask a friend, or look in a dictionary.
At that point I displayed the Monitor and Clarify Activity Sheet on the Promethean board and modeled how to fill it out by reading a passage and writing a word and using one of the strategy words to finish the activity sheet. I passed out copies of the first page of the book Caribbean Dream, along with their copy of the Monitor and Clarify Activity Sheet, and then I instructed my students they were to re-read the passage with their table partner and look for words they did not know. They should write those words on their activity sheet, along with the page number. Once they had done this they were to use a clue listed on the bottom of the practice work to help figure out the word. They were then to find three more examples of words or phrases they did know and try to figure out the meaning. To check for understanding I used the magic cup to select a student to retell and model the instructions on the Promethean board.
Once I was satisfied that my students understood the directions I set the timer for 10 minutes and pulled my Beginning Reading group to work with me. While these students worked with me the rest of the class finished working with their table partner.
In the video Discovering New Meanings I am checking in with a small group of students who were trying to find the meaning of the word "cobalt". I asked the students how they discovered the meaning of the word, and all three students reported that they used the picture as their resource to figure out that cobalt is the color blue/green.
At the end of 10 minutes I checked to see if the rest of the class needed more time to finish or not and then called them to the carpet. Back in whole group mode, I directed my students' attention to the displayed activity sheet on the Promethean board and used the magic cup to select students to share with the class what words they wrote. As these students shared I wrote their answers on the displayed activity sheet, and asked my students for a show of hand if they had the same word or used the same strategy.
When we finished this activity I transitioned my students into their leveled reading groups.
During this part of the day my students are in their leveled reading groups and rotate every 15 to 20 minutes through different reading and writing activities. I always include journal writing as one of these areas because it gives students the opportunity to practice writing independently as well as helps them analyze and evaluate what they did during the guided and collaborative work time. The prompt I put on the Promethean board: In your own words, explain when you would use one of the monitor and clarify strategies and which one did you like best.
As each reading group rotated to my differentiated reading group I checked each journal for understanding, completeness, and writing conventions.
For a sticker my students formed groups of 3 and each group told me three strategies they could use to learn the meaning of a word they did not know.

PORTALES, N.M. — University officials say a New Mexico college graduate, apparently feeling guilty over a student prank years ago, has sent a box of toilet paper to repay the school for loot taken from a dormitory.
Eastern New Mexico University says it received the yuletide gift box this week along with a Christmas card and written apology.
The box contained five packages of 16 rolls of two-ply, septic-safe tissue for a total of 80 rolls.
The anonymous writer apologized for stealing bathroom tissue years ago and said a new dedication to Christian faith led to the deed.

Mounting a bearing in the NN 30 K series using a GB 30 series gauge
To mount a bearing in the NN 30 K series, SKF recommends using a GB 30 gauge, a bore gauge and the appropriate hydraulic tools to drive the bearing up onto its seat. Provisions for oil injection are useful for dismounting
(→ Provisions for mounting and dismounting). The typical mounting procedure comprises the following steps:
(→ Provisions for mounting and dismounting). The typical mounting procedure comprises the following steps:
Mounting the outer ring
- Heat the housing to the appropriate temperature and slide the outer ring in position.
Preparing the gauge
- Let the housing and the outer ring cool to ambient temperature. Set a bore gauge to the raceway diameter and zero the indicator (fig.1).
- Place the gauge in the centre of the gauging zone of the GB 30 gauge (fig.2). Adjust the GB 30 gauge, using the adjustment screw until the bore gauge indicates zero minus the correction value listed in the GB 30 user instructions.
- Increase the inside diameter of the GB 30 gauge by the value of the desired preload or reduce the inside diameter by the value of the desired clearance, using the adjustment screw. Then set the GB 30 gauge indicator to zero. Keep this indicator setting unchanged during the mounting process.
Mounting the inner ring (trial)
- Coat the tapered shaft seat with a thin layer of light oil and push the inner ring, roller and cage assembly until the bearing bore makes good contact with its seat.
- Expand the GB 30 gauge with the adjustment screw, place it over the roller set and release the adjustment screw so that the gauge makes contact with the roller set (fig.3).
- Drive the inner ring roller and cage assembly together with the gauge further up on its seat until the indicator on the gauge reads zero. The inner ring is now in the correct position for the desired preload or clearance.
Expand the gauge using the adjustment screw and remove it from the roller and cage assembly.
Mounting the inner ring (final)
- Measure the distance between the bearing side face and the shaft abutment using gauge blocks (fig.4). Take measurements at different diametrical positions to check accuracy and misalignment. The difference between the single measurements should not exceed 3 to 4 μm.
- Grind a pre-machined spacer ring to the measured width.
- Remove the inner ring, mount the spacer ring, and drive up the inner ring again, until it firmly abuts the spacer ring.
- Place the GB 30 gauge over the roller set as described earlier. Release the adjustment screw. If the indicator reads zero again, the inner ring is properly mounted. Remove the gauge and locate the inner ring, using a suitable locking device.

In February of 2015, the district formed a steering committee of parents, teachers and community members to receive input concerning district growth, facilities and technology needs. The steering committee attended 6 meetings to study data and provide input concerning Aldine's future. The district administration will update the steering committee regularly on the status of bond projects.
In addition, two community dialogues were held to receive input from district stakeholders. A district executive team composed of administrators and steering committee chairs studied possible options.
The district will provide updated information on these pages when construction begins on numerous projects and will keep the public informed of the progress of all bond projects.

Varicose Veins on the Right Leg ? ?
Hi ALL,
First off I am almost 70 and have been skating a long time. Going skating in a little bit at our local Rink. Hopefully some of my younger buddies will be there. You know the 20's and early 40s skaters. Too early to catch some of the older guys if they will come later.
In some literature they say that hard exercise will create varicose veins. My wife noticed it on a biker (the premier race) and thought his leg looked like mine. SO I am using compression socks lately on that one leg the Right Pushing and hard working leg for Rink Skating.
Experiences and Knowledge is My Question
Yours in Skating, MA/NY Skating Dave
P.S. Thanks in advance, yet I am bad lately on reading SLForum

I have them in both but worse in my left. They don't bother me just not pretty to look at lol. Occasionally I get some pooling at the end of the day in left ankle but if I prop it up it eventually goes about its business. 55 here, or will be in about 24 days, and I love working those young chumps over lol.

Well, I only skate outdoors, and I rather look forward to cooler temps in the fall, as it drops into the mid 60s I start to wear CDX compression bottoms, tightening the hips and upper legs with compression clothing is wonderful, they offer insulated pairs, I have a few for snowboarding, and thinner pairs for not too cold weather,
as I love to road bike summers, I see compression socks worn by serious riders and some recovering from injuries, neoprene, tight, havent tried any, heat is my problem, real compression socks
I dont wear gloves on a bike because my hands are so wet the gloves become useless, but,
Dave, a pair of the thicker neoprene socks unless you already have them sound like what you want, the CDX come in a version that stops just below the knee (for skiers) combine the two, and drink more water eat less sugar.

You can improve circulation and vein/artery wall health with Nitric Oxide. Nicric Oxide is made in the body from Arginine. Arginine is present in watermelon, and a few other foods, and is available in a supplement.
I have been taking it for 3 years now. Prior to that, I was on blood thinners due to blood clots. I never liked taking the thinners, and I was always told, for all my life, that I had small veins, and doctors always had trouble taking my blood. Arginine/Nitric Oxide widens all blood vessels and promotes better circulation. Putting two and two together, I got to wondering if my clotting was due to small veins. I was desperate to get off of the thinners, so I stopped taking them and went on the Arginine. It worked. I haven't had any clots, and my energy level went up. (better circulation, better oxygenation, more energy)
Dumping blood thinners. Pretty unheard of. Worked for me, might work for you. I use MRI NO2 Black. Give it a go. See if it works for you.

SHANGHAI (AP) — One of China's biggest commercial vehicle dealerships is among the dozens of Chinese companies with shares listed in the U.S. that have been targeted by short-sellers for alleged financial abuses or probed by regulators. Its case highlights how gray shades of business dealings in China can run afoul of American rules in black and white.
Founded by tycoon Li Yonghui, AutoChina is based in the hardscrabble northern Chinese city of Shijiazhuang and says it has 512 branches and has leased more than 33,000 trucks since it launched in 2008. In an interview with The Associated Press, Li seems genuinely puzzled by his company's predicament.
A probe of AutoChina by the Securities and Exchange Commission into allegations of market manipulation is complicated by frictions between U.S. and Chinese authorities over the sharing of financial information, a lack of transparency, and outright clashes of business cultures and practices. It was delisted from the Nasdaq last year after falling behind on its financial reporting.
In April, the SEC said it was suing 11 AutoChina investors and Hui Kai Yan, one of the company's directors, for allegedly placing fraudulent trades to create the false impression that the stock was traded more actively. The regulator said the company and the investors made hundreds of questionable trades starting in October 2010, using more than $60 million that had been deposited into U.S. brokerage accounts.
"Investors may think many Chinese companies are faking their accounts, and that may be true, I'm afraid, but I have never had any problems," Li said.
"Our company has had no problems either in terms of its operations or its finances," he said.
Like many other foreign companies with U.S. shares, AutoChina used a reverse merger to list on the Nasdaq. This backdoor procedure enables a company to become publicly traded by buying an already-listed shell company and avoiding the more rigorous process of an initial public offering.
AutoChina's onslaught of bad news started in late January 2011 when analysts using the name "The Forensic Factor" issued a report questioning its accounting practices. The SEC began a probe into AutoChina's financial disclosures in April 2011. The company's shares are now relegated to trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, a market of corporate flotsam that requires less financial disclosure than mainboard stock exchanges.
The SEC crackdown on market abuses and shady accounting practices has coincided with a sharp rise in the number of class-action lawsuits filed against foreign issuers of securities, which more than doubled in 2011 according to a study by audit company PwC. Almost two-thirds were against mainland Chinese companies.
"I wouldn't necessarily call it a witch hunt, but there are legitimate companies that could get caught up in a sense," said Neal R. Marder, a partner in Los Angeles at law firm Winston & Strawn LLP. He has represented at least two Chinese companies that have sought to fight back.
Chinese government rules barring accounting firms with operations in China from sharing information with authorities overseas have hindered SEC efforts to investigate in such cases. "Accounting firms as well as any business in the PRC have to abide by trade secrets laws, privacy protections and blocking statutes in China," said Marder.
After two decades of doing business under China's capricious legal and political system, Li is no stranger to a fight. A foray into real estate investment in the late 1990s that involved an attempted takeover of a state-owned real estate company put him at odds with top local leaders. They detained him for several months until he gave up the takeover bid.
"In China, they catch you first and then try to prove you have violated some law," Li said. "They could find nothing that I had done wrong so they had to let me go."
Li and Diana Liu, a Taiwan-born Canadian citizen and AutoChina board member whose Spring Creek Investments was the vehicle AutoChina used to list on Nasdaq, vehemently deny they or the company played any role in the share trades questioned by the SEC.
Li and Liu are not among the investors and companies named as defendants, most of whom the SEC said are Li's relatives or AutoChina employees.
Liu contends that the investors named in the complaint were simply backing the company through an "investment club" that involved pooling their savings for occasional online trades.
"It's not like in the U.S., where when an investor wants to buy or sell he goes to the bank or does it online. In China they tell the person in charge of handling the trades who wants to sell and who wants to buy. He does the transactions for them," she said.
At the heart of AutoChina's troubles, Li said, were difficulties over getting its former auditor PriceWaterhouse Coopers to approve its 2010 financial reports. Eventually AutoChina replaced PwC with another U.S. auditor, but by the time it filed its earnings, it was due to be delisted.
"We appealed, but without any explanation at all they said they would not allow us to continue to be listed. Is that transparent? Why did my company have to delist? Up to now nobody has explained it," Li said, his frustration showing through his calm, soft-spoken demeanor.
Some of the short-sellers' accusations were false, AutoChina contends. However, the company did respond to complaints over an "earn-out" in its share listing that awarded shares to Li, thus diluting the value of holdings of existing shareholders, by cancelling that provision.
PwC did not respond to a written request for comment on the case. The SEC also has not responded to an emailed request for comment.
While waiting for the case to go to court, Li said he is busy expanding AutoChina's insurance business and other services.
"My intention is to build up a vehicle-leasing 'McDonalds,'" he said.
But the barrage of questions over Chinese company shares is discouraging mainland companies from attempting listings. Many are opting to go private, or to reconsider listing in Hong Kong or other overseas markets.
"We considered whether to list in China, in Hong Kong or in the U.S. I thought that America would be the most open, most just and most transparent environment, the most favorable for business. Now, I believe that is not the case," Li said. "If I were to have another chance, I probably would not choose this route."
