Management of Yateley Common Country Park
Yateley Common is recognized for its importance to nature conservation and is protected under both UK and EU law.
It is also a vital recreational resource for the local community and visitors to the area.
Much of the Common is also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Protection Area (SPA) because of its importance for wildlife.
It has a dense network of bridleways with many smaller paths.
We ask horse riders to use designated bridleways and walkers to keep to paths.
This will help to minimise disturbance to the many internationally important ground nesting birds that use the Common.
Yateley Common is owned and managed by Hampshire County Council's Countryside Service. Our Customer Care Charter.
The wide variety of habitats on Yateley Common Country Park make it suitable for a range of wildlife. The areas of heathland primarily consist of three types of heather- Ling, Bell Heather and Cross Leaved Heath, along with Common and Dwarf Gorse. These areas support a variety of specialised heathland wildlife including a number of breeding birds of European importance, including Nightjars, Dartford Warblers and Stonechats.
Being warm and sandy, the heathland on the Common makes an ideal home for a number of insects and reptiles, including the Heath Potter Wasp, the Viviparous Lizard (right) and Adders. The Common also supports a variety of butterflies such as the Silver Studded Blue and the Grayling.
A number of interesting flowers such as Bee Orchids and Carline Thistle can be found on the grassland areas to the west of the site. In spring Bluebells and Wood Anemones carpet old wooded hedge banks, whilst the distinctive song of the Nightingale is commonly heard alongside more common species such as the Garden Warbler and Chaffinch.
The ponds and lakes on the Common are particularly important for a number of scarce dragonflies and damselflies, including the Black Darter and Downy Emerald. Six species of nationally notable water beetles have also been found.
In order to preserve the important heathland habitat we regularly have to remove large areas of scrub and trees which would otherwise shade out the valuable heathland wildlife. After clearing an area it is often necessary to scrape off the nutrient rich layer of top soil. Being adapted to poor soils, heather finds it difficult to compete with other plants when soil conditions improve. Once an area has been scraped the heather can naturally regenerate from the seeds remaining in the soil. Bracken control is another important aspect of our heathland management work.
As well as working to preserve the heathland, we also aim to maintain a variety of habitats and vegetation structures such as woodland, scrub, scattered trees and grassland. This enables a wide diversity of wildlife to survive and is important for species that use more than one habitat during their lifecycle or daily activities. Some species are especially reliant upon the boundaries between habitat types.
If invasive species such as Rhododendron become established every effort is made to remove and eradicate them before they out compete the native wildlife.
Each year the Countryside Staff undertake a number of surveys to monitor the Special Protection Area Birds and the Reptiles on Yateley Common.
Nightingale Habitat Management
Throughout the winter period of 2010 and 2011 volunteers have begun working hard to try and recreate the scrubby thicket like habitat favored by Nightingales .
The West End of Yateley Common has long been an important area for breeding Nightingales, but in recent years numbers have fallen as the once suitable thicket like habitat has developed into a less suitable woody environment. The Nightingale depends on the thick cover of vegetation to protect it from predators, and provide suitable nesting and foraging space.
By cutting the Oaks and Willow and layering them on this part of site it is hoped that the thicket type habitat will be recreated providing protection, and that interspersed trees will provide perches from which the males can call. With the long term hope of encouraging Nightingale numbers to improve.
We manage the Common in such a way that people can enjoy quiet, informal recreation in pleasant and safe surroundings.
This involves work as diverse as repairing paths, clearing litter and preventing abuses of the Common such as motor cycling.
It also includes management of the fishing at Wyndham's Pool and Hospital Pond which are currently leased by Hartley Wintney Angerling Society.
New in 2011
Pond Dipping Platform on Strood Pool
A new 'T' shaped dipping platform was installed on Strood Pool thanks to a Big Lottery –Awards for All grant secured by The Yateley Society.
The platform was installed by Volunteers from the local community and Yateley Society along with Hampshire County Council's Countryside Rangers during November 2011, and was constructed out of Millboard recycled plastic. This material was chosen because it will be long lasting and will not cause chemicals to be leached into the water as can happen with treated wood.
The platform was designed so that it would sit under water during the winter when the pond is full and allow pond dipping to continue long into the summer when water levels fall leaving the banks of the pond high and dry.
The pond is used throughout the year by school and after school groups learning about pond life and this new platform is helping children get a better and safer experience.

Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid commonly used to fight germs. Hydrogen peroxide poisoning occurs when large amounts of the liquid come in contact with the lungs or eyes.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Hydrogen peroxide
Note: Household hydrogen peroxide has a 3% concentration.That means it contains 97% water and 3% hydrogen peroxide. Hair bleaches usually have a concentration of greater than 6%. Some industrial strength solutions contain more than 10% hydrogen peroxide.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may need a tube down the throat into the stomach (gastric tube) to relieve gas pressure.
Most contact with household strength hydrogen peroxide is relatively harmless. Inappropriate exposure to industrial strength hydrogen peroxide can be dangerous.

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection that affects men and women. Features of genital herpes include pain, itching and sores in your genital area. But you may have no signs or symptoms of genital herpes. If infected, you can be contagious even if you have no visible sores.
The herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes genital herpes. Sexual contact is the primary way that the virus spreads. After the initial infection, the virus lies dormant in your body and can reactivate several times a year.
There's no cure for genital herpes, but medications can ease symptoms and reduce the risk of infecting others. Condoms also can help prevent transmission of the virus.
Most people who've been infected with HSV don't know they have the infection because they have no signs or symptoms or because their signs and symptoms are so mild.
When present, the symptoms of genital herpes include:
Ulcers may make it painful to urinate. You also may experience pain and tenderness in your genital area until the infection clears.
During an initial outbreak, you may have flu-like signs and symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes in your groin, headache, muscle aches and fever.
Sores appear where the infection entered your body. You can spread the infection by touching a sore and then rubbing or scratching another area of your body, including your eyes.
Men and women can develop sores on the:
Women can also develop sores in or on the:
Men can also develop sores in or on the:
Genital herpes is different for each person. The signs and symptoms may recur, off and on, for years. Some people experience numerous episodes each year. For many people, however, the outbreaks are less frequent as time passes.
During a recurrence, shortly before sores appear, you may feel:
However, recurrences are generally less painful than the original outbreak, and sores generally heal more quickly.
If you suspect you have genital herpes — or any other sexually transmitted infection — see your doctor.
Two types of herpes simplex virus infections can cause genital herpes:
Because the virus dies quickly outside of the body, it's nearly impossible to get the infection through contact with toilets, towels or other objects used by an infected person.
Your risk of becoming infected with genital herpes may increase if you:
Complications associated with genital herpes may include:
If you think you have genital herpes or other sexually transmitted illness, make an appointment to see your family doctor or gynecologist.
Before your appointment, you might want to list answers to the following questions:
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Your doctor usually can diagnose genital herpes based on a physical exam and the results of certain laboratory tests:
There's no cure for genital herpes. Treatment with prescription antiviral medications may:
Antiviral medications used for genital herpes include:
Your doctor may recommend that you take the medicine only when you have symptoms of an outbreak or that you take a certain medication daily, even when you have no signs of an outbreak.
Finding out that you have genital herpes can cause embarrassment, shame and anger, among other emotions. You may be suspicious or resentful of your partner if you think he or she "gave" you the infection. Or you might fear rejection by your current partner or future partners.
What you're feeling is normal. Here are healthy ways to cope with having genital herpes:
The suggestions for preventing genital herpes are the same as those for preventing other sexually transmitted infections: Abstain from sexual activity or limit sexual contact to only one person who is infection-free. Short of that, you can:
If you're pregnant and know you have genital herpes, tell your doctor. If you think you might have genital herpes, ask to be tested for it.
Your doctor may recommend that you start taking herpes antiviral medications late in pregnancy to try to prevent an outbreak around the time of delivery. If you're having an outbreak when you go into labor, your doctor will probably suggest a cesarean section to reduce the risk of passing the virus to your baby.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Awesome report! It really took me there. Thanks!
Brad -
Sounds like you had an AWESOME time. If you take any pictures I would love to start a western trout photo gallery. Gerry Frederick just over the border has some great photos from the Canadian rockies as well, and Pete from Calgary has sent me some gorgeous images that would complement any portfolio.
Thanks and keep the western trout reports coming!
Railroad Ranch
We just got back from a fishing trip up around Yellowstone and had a pretty good time. We fished the Firehole in the park for two full days and hammered the fish on caddis soft hackles. The water was 78 F around the geysers, finished the day with a soak in the river where hot water mixed with the cooler river. The Madison did not give up many trout the next day, i landed a healthy 18" bow but that was it. I can say that whitefish love prince nymphs. We were hesitant to fork over $80 to fish Armstrongs the next day but did it anyway and were glad that we did. It was between the beatis and PMD hatch so the fishing was subsurface. Again the fish took soft hackles this time mayfly patterns, but instead of being 12" fish like we caught on the Firehole they were 16 to 20" fish. My friend had an epic day landing close to 30 fish. Back to the Madison near ennis the next day to try to find the salmon flies without much luck. The weather was turning foul and that put the hatch down, however the PMD's came off well and I managed a bunch of dinkers on dry flies. We fished the Gallitin for a couple of hours the next day and again caddis was the order for the day. I had lots of stuff in my box from the Mother's day caddis hatch that did the trick. Wednesday we woke to a foot of wet snow so i tied flies and Thursday we headed to Henry's Fork for the opener of the railroad ranch. I had my best three hours of fishing ever that evening. I fished the Flavalina hatch below ashton dam and caught big fish on all stages of the hatch from nymph to spinner. Three fish took me into my backing one did it two times. Do they make fighting butts for a 5 weight. Friday June 15 was the opener at Harriman and we fished to a blanket PMD hatch all morning. I found a fish feeding head to tail in a big flat crowded with people catching nothing. I crawled up to the Fish on my knees, chest deep in water and waited to learn his pattern. After about 10 min he took a 18 PMD emerger and turned out to be over 20 inches long with substantial girth. That was the only fish i took in the slow flat water that day but what a memory. That night back to the Flavs for another awesome time. Our last day on the water was much slower, i lost a huge fish in the flats, spent most of the day walking around just enjoying the scenery, took a nap in the afternoon by the river, and got skunked fishing the huge size six brown drake hatch. This week it was back to reality. Cheers

Middleton police warn of home burglaries
Police see high concentration of recent burglaries
MIDDLETON, Wis. - Middleton police are warning residents about a spike in home burglaries, including many in the Stonefield neighborhood.
Six burglaries have been reported in the Stonefield neighborhood since late last year, with at least two other burglaries in Middleton.
Police said there have also been as many as 28 burglaries in nearby Madison.
Most of the burglaries have occurred between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., police said.
Investigators said that the burglars have generally been targeting homes that don't have any lights on, or where it appears no one is home.
"We really think that they're probably looking in either a window or maybe they're knocking on a door, ringing on a doorbell, and then when they get no response, or they see no movement inside of the home, then they're entering the home. We're thinking the one connection between all the burglaries is that the home appears to be unoccupied," said Troy Hellenbrand, of the Middleton Police Department.
Middleton police said they have recovered some of the stolen items from pawn shops and are investigating leads.
They are asking residents to be vigilant.
"Especially in a case like this, where we are seeing a high concentration of crime. We really want the community to report anything that they think is out of the ordinary and help us solve these crimes," Hellenbrand said.

The presentations list for the "Yet Another Perl Conference" in Israel, 2004. So, it's final that I'm going to give a lightning talk about the Template Toolkit and a 60-minutes long presentation about LM-Solve.
Now I need to prepare the presentation about the Template Toolkit, but first I'm waiting for the notice about which formats are acceptable for submission ,so I won't work twice. Meanwhile, I'm planning it...
KDE Problem and its Resolution
The "Konqueror" and "Home Directory" buttons of the KDE panel stopped working. I found out the very command line kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing did not work at all, not even from the konsole. (got a "KDEInit could not execute kfmexec" or something like that message). After some investigation, I realized that it worked for different users.
At first I was able to resolve it by creating a $HOME/.kde/share/kfmclientrc file with some settings there. (this is after some investigation of its source code). But then yesterday, it broke again. Renaming .kde to .kde-bak resolved the problem, but made me lose all the settings. So I started renaming directories inside it, and seeing if they change anything. After a long time I found out that renaming applnk-mdk resolved the problem. Then I tried just deleting the konqueror.desktop file there which also made the problem disappear.
All in all, I wasted a lot of good hours on this problem which could have been invested in something more productive. Whatever, now I'll know what do when it happens again.
Gimp Patch
Now I can tell that I updated my Gradient-Fu patch to the latest development version of the GIMP. I received some helpful comments from the core developers on the mailing list and on the GimpNet #gimp IRC channel.
What this patch does is create Procedural Database functions for manipulating gradients, thus allowing them to be manipulated from withing scripts. Here is the Gimp Bugzilla Issue for it, where one can follow its development.
The patch is not complete yet, as there are some gradient manipulation routines that can still only be done in the gradient editor. But I'm getting there. The patch was scheduled for inclusing in Gimp 2.2, because the developers are anxious to get Gimp 2.0 out soon.
What is "Computer Science"
kilmo: I think that defining "Computer Science" solely as "The science that deals with the study, implementation and creation of algorithms" is incorrect and tries to convey some political agenda. By all means, "Computer Science" deals with the entire whole of programming for a computer, not just theoretical algorithms. What you describe is better defined as "Algorithmics".
Let's look some definitions. The Wikipedia entry say: "In its most general sense, computer science (CS) is the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software. In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware. As a scientific discipline, it is a very different activity from computer programming and computer engineering, although the three are often confused. ".
The Free Dictionary says: "computer science - the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures". And you can find more in Google.
So limiting the definition of Computer Science to pure theoretical Algorithmics is probably not a rational thing to do. By all means, it includes many areas that are more practical and applied.
A Productive Day
Yesterday was a productive day. I prepared several questions from the pending Statistics homework, and also worked on the GIMP patch, managing to do a lot of work. Eventually, I was interrupted for a while by the KDE problem, but I was still very productive. Today is a bit slower with all the E-mail reading/web-surfing/arrangement stuff, but I hope to get on the swing soon.
Haifux Site
Haifux has a new site courtesy of ladypine. It is based on her and mine original design of the syscalltrack site. I also contributed some comments in the discussion about it in the mailing list.
An anatomy of Wikis
Recently I had to work with several Wikis, and I can testify that the syntax or implementation of several of them could made using them a bit frustrating at times. For instance, Chiq-Chaq's heavy reliance on JavaScript made it unusable on Konqueror. Also, Kwiki seems to have a relatively poor syntax, and some things are simply not possible in it. It is however, supposed to be very easy to set up.
The Wikipedia seems nice for what I dealt with so far. It has a very powerful syntax and also allows uploading of images and stuff like that.

"Windows 8 was supposed to give them a jump-start, but Redmond's new operating system turned out to be worse than Vista. In fact, analysts are now blaming Windows 8 for the lull in sales, Even the mighty Intel can't save the laptop industry," says Dealnews.
They're predicting record-breaking laptop deals, especially with back-to-school sales surfacing each week. So there's never been a better time to pounce on a deal. Prices are currently in the $350 range – and have gone as low as $299 – for an Ivy Bridge 15" Core i5-based system with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. So anything you find at or below $299 is an Editors' Choice-worthy deal.
Here's some shopping tools – and a few deals – to help you navigate your laptop shopping.
1. Windows 8 Didn't Live Up to the Hype
"Despite all the fanfare, Windows 8 failed to live up to the hype. Yes, Microsoft sold over 100 million licenses of its shiny new OS, but Windows 8 didn't ignite sales. It also received an unprecedented amount of negative feedback, and it simply didn't sit well with consumers. Sales were so bad that Microsoft cut licensing costs for its partners."
Microsoft's forthcoming OS update is expected to address many concerns, but it's still unlikely to give laptop sales a significant boost. Now that they're on the mend, Microsoft and big-box retailers want your business. Low prices are their best tool. You can save $439 off the Dell Inspiron 14z Ultrabook, 3rd Gen Intel Core i7-3517U Processor. Now only $749.99 + free shipping at Dell.
"Dealnews data has consistently shown that the summer is the second-best time of year to buy a new laptop." These deals have come close to the famed Black Friday deals.
Last summer saw a high number of laptop bundles that combined a mainstream 15" notebook with a gaming console, a gift card, or even an inkjet printer. These combos don't always require purchasers to be students. The months of August and September tend to see the best deals with bundles that include everything from an Xbox 360 to a $100 Amazon gift card.
"Because PC sales are particularly bad this year, we wouldn't be surprised to see solid bundles throughout the summer, so if you want to get the most value from your purchase, we recommend waiting for the right back-to-school bundle."
3. There's a New CPU Sheriff in Town
Intel's new Haswell chips are poised to take over the market. They offer better battery life and video performance than Intel's 2012 Ivy Bridge processors, which means consumers can see some deep discounts on laptops that use Intel's older chips.
How can you tell if a laptop has an Ivy Bridge processor inside? Look at the string of numbers after the processor name. For instance, the "4" in Core i7-4650U signifies a 4th generation Haswell chip, whereas the "3" in Core i7-3537U signifies last year's Ivy Bridge chip.
4. AMD's New CPUs Have Budget Shoppers in Mind
Intel is not only competing with itself via previous-generation processors, they're also competing with AMD's new processors. "Codenamed Temash, Kabini, and Richland, AMD's new chips were designed for tablets/hybrids, mainstream systems, and premium laptops, respectively. Although they haven't been officially tested, the editors at Notebook Review were impressed by the new processors' battery life during their initial evaluation. Intel has a comfortable lead over AMD when it comes to processor market share, but with laptop shipments down and competition lurking around every corner, every bit counts. So competition from AMD, albeit far from threatening, will help keep laptop prices low."
It's been three years since Apple introduced the first iPad. The market they created in that short time has exploded. Tablet shipments are poised to surpass laptop sales for the first time in history. Dealnews predicts that by 2017, tablets will outsell notebooks six to one.
"Tablets have decimated the laptop industry leading to the worst PC sales ever, which in turn has led to some of the best laptop deals ever. As tablets continue to push laptops out of the market and Intel continues looking for new form factors, you can expect the cheap laptop prices to continue."

Cracker Barrel: Once a-Ponce a time
Punta Gorda, Florida — Ten days ago this quiet town on the western coast of Florida found itself invaded by a band of modern-day conquistadors, many of them in battle dress with plumed helmets, swords, ornately brocaded tops and black pants or tights.
Never mind that several of the invaders were also wearing sunglasses and some sported bristly white beards. They weren't acting out some light-hearted piece of modern theater.
No, indeed. They came ashore to re-enact Ponce de Leon's landing on the shores of Florida on April 3, 1513, some 500 years ago this week.
East Coast towns from Point Vedra to Melbourne Beach are squabbling over exactly where the famed Spanish explorer first stepped on dry land. Everyone seems to agree it happened in early April, and that it took place on the Atlantic side of the state.
But that hasn't stopped Gulf Coast towns from getting in on the celebration.
Modern historians are generally convinced that a couple of months after making his initial landfall, Ponce de Leon sailed down around the Keys and headed up the Gulf coast to what is now known as Charlotte Harbor, a large estuary at the mouth of the Peace River.
There's a pleasant park bearing his name on the Punta Gorda (Broad Point) side of the harbor, complete with a colorful statue purported to resemble the man.
Wherever the actual site of his landing, the fact that he came ashore at all proved something of a mixed blessing. The Calusa Indians, who at the time of his arrival were the most powerful band in all of Florida, had enjoyed their position of eminence for more than a millennium and weren't at all happy to see him.
Early Spanish sources refer to them as the Calos, Calus, Caalus and Carlos, but the name eventually became Calusa, interpreted as "fierce people." And fierce they were, with warriors described as tall, well-built and wearing plenty of body paint, resisting Spanish and European conquest for almost 200 years.
The Calusa were coastal dwellers and, lacking stone, fashioned tools from oyster, clam, conch and whelk shells. Relying on water routes to control their territory, they utilized dugout canoes to navigate coastal and interior waterways, even excavating canals to make travel more efficient.
In 1513, as today, Charlotte Harbor and its surrounding waters teemed with delicious snook, redfish and grouper, dancing mullet, slow-moving manatee and well-fed pelicans. Then, as now, there were beautiful sunsets, lovely beaches and an unusually pleasant climate.
There were, in short, no good reasons for the native Calusa to hand their land over to the scrawny intruders with the metal hats who fancied themselves conquistadors.
But, in the long haul, the descendants of Ponce de Leon proved victorious, and along the way gave a new name to the land of the once-fierce natives. They called it Florida, and nowadays it's invaded annually by people from the north, all seeking respite from snow and cold, all taking delight in the flowery beauty that the name implies.

The November 2nd election closed the books on a contentious campaign season with startling results. As many political forecasters suggested, Republicans retook the House of Representatives and now hold their largest majority (239 – 186, results from 10 races still pending) since the Eisenhower Administration. In the Senate, Republicans held every single incumbent seat, won 4 open seats and removed 2 Democrat incumbents, a net gain of six seats that places the Senate margin at 52 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and 2 Independents.
Over the past several weeks, NPGA detailed the key races that we were watching closely. Here are the results:
Minnesota's 8th Congressional District pitted current Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and nearly 40-year House veteran, Rep. Jim Oberstar (D), against political newcomer, Chip Cravaack. In the end, Cravaack defeated Oberstar by a little more than 2%. As chairman, Oberstar had a tremendous influence over many transportation issues that affect NPGA members including: hours of service, HAZMAT transportation, special permit rules, etc. Left rudderless by losing Oberstar and their majority status, Democrats on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will usher in a new Ranking member, likely Peter DeFazio (D-OR).
Alaska's Senate contest has still not been decided though a Republican, either party nominee Joe Miller or incumbent Lisa Murkowski, will be the eventual victor. Miller defeated Murkowski in the Alaskan Republican primary, prompting Murkowski to pursue a nearly unprecedented effort to defeat Miller as a write-in candidate. Should she win, Murkowski would be the first victorious write-in Senate candidate in more than 50 years. Murkowski is currently the ranking member on the powerful Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. However, it is unclear if the Senate Republican caucus would continue to let Murkowski serve in that capacity.
California's Senate contest ended up being less dramatic than many polls had suggested as Barbar Boxer (D) handily defeated political newcomer and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (R). A liberal stalwart and hard-core environmentalist, Senator Boxer will likely resume the chairmanship of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, the entity responsible for authoring climate change and related environmental legislation.
Nevada Senator Harry Reid (D), the Senate Majority Leader, defeated Tea Party stalwart Sharron Angle (R) by 6% in undoubtedly the nastiest and most scrutinized race of the year. During the 111th Congress, Senator Reid co-authored the NATGAS Act, legislation to incentivize the production, purchase and related infrastructure costs of natural gas vehicles. Reid also has co-sponsored the Fueling America Act, alternative fuel vehicle legislation that places propane and natural gas vehicle incentives on equal footing. Reid will likely remain as Majority Leader, but will have a much smaller majority to work with making his ability to move legislation even more difficult than it was in the previous Congress.
Outcome: The broader question is how will the overall election results impact Congress itself? The short answer is that there is no definitive way of knowing how the House and Senate will operate, what the legislative priorities will be, and who will hold the most influence until after organizational meetings are held and the 112th Congress begins in January. However, we can make some educated guesses:
Senate: Despite losing 6 seats, the Democrats led by Majority Leader Reid will still control the legislative agenda and the Committees. However, finding consensus and being able to reach the 60 vote threshold necessary to consider, let alone pass, legislation just became 6 votes more difficult. Is this a recipe for even more gridlock than we saw in the 111th Congress? Looking solely at the numbers suggests this may be the case; however, we are moving into a non-election year and when the political pressure ratchets back the potential for increased short-term legislative action.
House: The House will be dramatically different under the Republicans. This will be particularly felt in the Committees where several experienced conservative members will become chairmen. At present, it appears that Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), an advocate for tax code simplification, will chair the Ways and Means Committee; Rep. John Mica (R-FL) will chair the Transportation Committee; and either Fred Upton (R-MI) or Joe Barton (R- TX), both ardent foes of climate legislation, will chair the Energy and Commerce Committee. The Republican Leadership, under likely Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and these committee chairmen, have pledged to dismantle much of the work the previous Congress did in the areas of health care, energy, and financial services legislation. Also, because House Republicans now have subpoena power, the Obama Administration should also expect a heavy dose of Federal agency oversight and investigative hearings.
The Bottom Line: Republicans enjoyed a tremendous election. In the House, we expect the GOP to pass their legislative agenda as easily, if not more easily, than Speaker Pelosi did in the previous Congress. After all, the GOP has the votes and in the House a simple majority is all that matters. The Senate, the constitutionally deliberate body where from a practical procedural standpoint all work must achieve a 60 vote threshold, will still be run by the Democrats. In order to move legislation, compromise will be more necessary now than in the previous Congress. However, compromise, especially in controversial energy and environmental policy, will continue to be difficult to achieve. A potential mitigating factor rests in a developing sense that both Congress and the Obama Administration may be interested in moving a much more modest legislative agenda.

We had plans for a considerable kitchen remodeling project. That project entailed the removal of an existing (full) bath to make the kitchen larger. We found a couple of closets in an addition that we could tear out and add a new wall to make a decent sized bath.
|Photo: Two closets to remove
Finding the space to put in the new bath was the easy part! The demolition would be straightforward, but laborious. All I needed to do was tojust take out a couple closets and walls, right?
The demolition did prove to be fairly straight forward,even if it did take a little longer than planned. It was good to see the walls removed and easier to visualize what the new space was going to look like. It did require us to move the washer back downstairs after we had moved it upstairs a couple years ago. We left the dryer where it was since I had rewired it to the current location. Note to self -- having the washer and dryer in different locations is a real pain. It got worse, that that's another story.
|Photo: Closets removed
With the walls down, it was clear there was a lot of work to be done in order to make this a nice bath. One of the first things would be to finish removing the framing and drywall on the wall and exterior wall sides, as well as add a window on the exterior wall so natural light could get in.
Stay tuned -- the next steps of the project are soon to follow. Luckily, I remembered to photograph most of the project!

Law Journal Symposium to Explore International Legal Issues Affecting Children
Uncertainty surrounding the legal protection of children jeopardizes their quality of life. When children are subjected to trafficking and abduction, displaced from their families, and ensnared in complex adoption matters, their countries of origin and the international community as a whole suffer. On Friday, February 22, Southwestern will discuss these issues at the symposium, The Future of Children in International Law.
Presented by the Southwestern Journal of International Law, this event will bring academics and practitioners together to examine how laws surrounding these issues affect children on an international level. The proceedings and papers from this symposium will be published in the journal.
Professor Julie Waterstone, Director of Southwestern's Children's Rights Clinic, said "Children are our most vulnerable citizens and too often the problems they face do not stop with national borders. Finding answers to these issues means engaging and participating in a global dialogue. With this symposium, we aim to be a part of that conversation." Waterstone is set to moderate, joined by Southwestern Professors Christine Lorillard, Myrna Raeder and Julia Vázquez.
Among the prominent legal scholars, attorneys and social workers, scheduled speakers include:
- Wendi Adelson, Visiting Clinical Professor, Florida State University College of Law
- Veronica Aragón, Human Rights Litigator, Center for Justice in International Law
- Irene Banias, Assistant Professor of Law, Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey
- Joan Catherine Bohl, Professor of Legal Skills, Stetson University College of law
- Bernardine Dohrn, Clinical Associate Professor of Law, Northwestern Law School
- Matthew Fraidin, Associate Professor of Law, University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law
- Hannah Garry, Director, International Human Rights Clinic USC Gould School of Law
- Yali Lincroft, MBA, Policy and Program Consultant, First Focus
- Jennifer Mertus, Director, Center for Children's Rights, Whittier Law School
- Andrea Ramos, Associate Clinical Professor of Law and Director of Immigration Law Clinic, Southwestern
- Stephanie Richard, Policy & Legal Services Director, The Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking
- Cecilia Saco, Supervising Children's Social Worker, Department of Children and Family Services
- Dr. Adiva Sifris, Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
- Kathleen Strottman, Executive Director, Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute
The Southwestern Journal of International Law is published annually to provide a scholarly forum on selected comparative, international and trade law issues. Copies of the issue will be sent to participants and will also be available for purchase.
Participant registration and continental breakfast begins at 8:00 a.m. The symposium will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 5:15 p.m. in the historic Bullocks Wilshire Building on Southwestern's campus, 3050 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles. The cost is $75 for attorneys seeking 6.25 hours of CLE credit; $50 for Southwestern alumni and members of co-sponsoring organizations; and $40 for those not seeking CLE credit. Limited parking is available on campus for $8; click here for a map and directions. For more information on the Symposium, click here.

Portable Scanner Recommendations?
Posted 24 May 2011 - 05:59 PM
Other than the Flip Pal, discussions on scanners seemed quite dated and technology changes so quickly. I think the wand-style scanners look like it might be difficult to get a good image, especially since my severe Fibromyalgia means that my hands often shake a bit. That makes the Flip Pal or similar "mini-flatbed" scanners more appealing. A quick search on Amazon.com shows a number of non-wand options, some significantly less expensive. I look forward to hearing everyone's input!

It's small and scans to 600 dpi Jpeg image. I have model PANSCN04. It's worked wonderfully for me, but does not have some of the nice features of the flip pal as it has to be plugged in and only scans paper up to 5x7. It also doesn't show what you are scanning, but you have to put the SD card into your computer to see what you've got.
That said, however I love it and have used it a lot!
Posted 25 May 2011 - 06:43 AM
Thanks, ladies. I have the less expensive Flip camcorder and like it. As noted in the subject line, the Flip Pal is definitely intriguing. I was just wondering if anyone has something else and what motivated them to choose an option other than the Flip Pal.
Victoria in Stormy Texas
Honestly, I hadn't even thought about the possiblities of doing this before the Flip-Scan and I didn't look into it further once I discovered Flip-Pal but I think it would be awesome for scanning pages as you are talking about.......It's so handy - so small and easy to just keep right beside you - and given that it's battery operated, I LOVE it! The price is right and it scans to a card as well which I personally like because then I can save it to my laptop or my IPad or anywhere I want.

I don't have my Flip-Pal yet...maybe it will be here tomorrow and I can report back! I like your idea to keep the "paper mess" in check. GREAT idea!!

OFA will record any and all DNA test results from accredited laboratories, as far as I know. Some people are also testing for DM, although I believe that is very rare in Goldens. I believe the fee is $15 (though I haven't checked recently), www.GoldenDNA.org is at no charge (it depends on voluntary donations).
It would be tremendously valuable, I think, for us to keep track of the physical symptoms of ICT for future reference. Until now, people (including vets) simply haven't been familiar enough with the disease. If we are to know whether we can make symptoms worse by our breeding choices, we will only learn this if we collect the data. I'm not exactly sure how we can do that in an organized fashion so that the data can be most useful.
What we are learning is that DNA testing is not "the answer" to our problems. It is a "tool" to use in making breeding choices that minimize the probability of producing animals affected with diseases that can predictably affect the dog's quality of life. It has not removed any of the many variables we were already balancing in our breeding assessments ... it has just added more variables to consider in each breeding.
I begin to imagine that one day all breeders will have computer software to compute all this stuff ... much like k9data does with COIs.

Justin Bieber is giving fans a sneak peek into his world with his new autobiography, First Step 2 Forever: My Story, on sale now. In the book, the singer describes his road to fame, from his first video on YouTube to his superstar status today. Readers are also treated to never-before-seen photos of Justin onstage and off.
The 16-year-old pop sensation spoke to TFK about his decision to tell his story. Read on to see what Justin said about who he looks up to, how he deals with being in the spotlight, and more.
Why did you want to write a book about your life?
Well, number 1, you are probably wondering why I am wearing glasses. That's because I'm [in a British accent] "an authah." Second, you're probably wondering why I'm talking with a British accent. Well, most authors have British accents, so it's just another trademark . Just kidding! No, seriously. I decided to write a book because my fans needed to hear something from my perspective.
What is the best part of writing a book?
Being able to put everything in my own words and being able to tell everyone how I'm feeling.
What do you want people to learn about you?
I want people to learn that you can do anything. Just set your mind to it and be motivated to work hard, and anything is possible.
Who do you look up to?
I look up to Shaquille O'Neal because he's tall, so I always look up to him. I can't look down on him. No, just kidding. I look up to [musicians like] Michael Jackson, Boys II Men and Stevie Wonder.
What is most challenging about being a star?
I don't consider myself a star. I just consider myself a regular kid. I like to hang out with my friends and stuff. It's hard to be away from your friends all the time.
How do you stay grounded?
I have great family [members] and friends who are always on my back. You know, I don't have people who always say yes to me. If I want something and it's unreasonable, then they'll say no. That really keeps me grounded. Reading the Bible keeps me grounded, too.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I like to hang out with my friends, play basketball and play Xbox.
Where do you get ideas for songs?
Some of them are just ideas in my head that I just think of and some of them are actual stories.
Which of your songs is your favorite?
My favorite song is "Down to Earth."
People are always talking about you. Some of the comments are positive. Some are negative. How do you deal with all of that?
I just live my life, and I don't really pay attention to it.
You've worked with some incredible people. Do you ever feel nervous or intimidated?
Not really. They're just regular people, so I don't really feel nervous.
What do you think you'll be doing 10 years from now?
Ten years from now, like, exactly this time of day? Ten years from now, I'll probably be celebrating the 10th year anniversary of you asking me this question. [Laughs] Just kidding. Ten years from now I'll probably be making music—good music.

I'm curious, I currently use a Pro100 G2 EXP but wonder what others around here are using in terms of TT gear.
I picked the 100 over the Flyway G2/Pro 200 G2 (they are one in the same minus tone right??) is I initially wanted more continious variety vs more nick variety. But as time went on for what I do I've been using more nicks than continious by just tapping the buttons. I know a nick is a lot faster than me pressing the continous button in/out...
i was wondering for the people who use the Flyway/Pro 200 why you chose this over the say Pro 100 G2. Meaning you must use more nicks than continious. What training program did you follow? Or reasoning for your choice.
I guess I followed Lardy's choice of the 100 but found myself thinking i should have gotten the Flyway (since its cheaper than the 200) since I seem to employ nicks and i rarely ever hit the "black" button on my tranmitter if at all.

Starbuck guilty of ex-wife's killing
SPOKANE, Wash. - After several hours of deliberations a jury found Clay Starbuck guilty of killing his ex-wife Chanin.
The jury also found aggravating factors in the murder, that he was guilty of sexually violating human remains. The jury did not find that the murder was unusually cruel. Found guilty of murder with at least one aggravating circumstance, Starbuck is now facing a potential life sentence without possibility of parole.
Starbuck's attorney said they will appeal his conviction.
Chanin's mother Melanie Bourcier reacted to the verdict in the hallway outside the courtroom after the hearing, saying that her ex-son-in-law's motivations for killing her daughter were greed, anger and jealousy,
"The death penalty would be too easy. I hope he goes to prison with his kind and gets what he deserves every single day," Bourcier said.
Starbuck was on trial for the Dec. 2011 killing of his ex-wife, Chanin Starbuck. Prosecutors alleged Starbuck broke into his ex-wife's home, waited for her to return, and then strangled her to death. Her body was found lying on her bed and showed signs of being beaten, with bruises from head to foot.Starbuck guilty verdict
During the trial, prosecutors maintained that when Clay Starbuck realized Chanin had moved on following their divorce, and with his falling behind on thousands of dollars in child support, he orchestrated her killing.
"At the heart of this killing, and I would submit the motive, is greed, anger, obsession and jealousy," Deputy Prosecutor Larry Steinmetz said during closing arguments Monday.
The defense team, meanwhile, claimed Starbuck's innocence by pointing out he fully cooperated with detectives throughout the investigation into his ex-wife's death. Defense attorney Derek Reid claimed that detectives failed to fully investigate other potential suspects, among them a number of people who she had met through a dating website, among them John Kenlein, who was supposed to meet Chanin on the day she was killed and attempted to contact her several times, even approaching the home to try and contact her.
"The state asks you could else have could have done this? Ladies and gentlemen John Kenlein was there four times that day and he didn't see anything," Reid said during his closing argument.
Prosecutors rebuffed Reid's argument, saying they had cleared Kenlein in the course of the investigation.

The Outdoor Code of the BSA should be enough…. Right? Well that is if we all lived it. The Leave No Trace principles lead us down a trail to being good stewards of the our wilderness. As Boy Scouts we should just be all of those things, but we all know that the wrong way is always the easiest.. and easy creates the path of least resistance. We get lazy and as a result we leave a trace.
Using the leave no trace principles from start to finish on every outing will ensure that we maintain the land we have and keep it in the best shape for those that come after us. Now I am not running out to join Green Peace, and I believe that "Global Warming" is a natural process will happen with or without man. But I also believe that we don't have to push it. We can do this to minimize our footprint while enjoying the wilderness. There are those out there that would not allow anyone to step foot in the wilderness areas. This is extreme, especially when we can do things to reduce the impact. But it takes everyone, especially Scouts to practice it. Leave no Trace gives us that foundation to work from. It sets us up through the principles of planning and preparing, traveling on durable surfaces, setting camp on hard stands, looking at ways to reduce and dispose of waste, leaving what we find, minimizing campfire impact, respecting wildlife, and being considerate of other visitors.
So why is Leave no Trace important? It all comes down to whether or not you enjoy the out doors. It comes down to an appreciation for what we have and wanting to keep it that way. I boils down to leaving it for the future. Unfortunately when God created man, in some he left out the common sense gene, in some he did not place the appreciation gene, and in some he gave it all. We Scouts know what right looks like, we have an appreciation for our wilderness areas and understand that we need to protect them for total selfish reasons… so we can enjoy them.
Practicing Leave No Trace is good stewardship and we must learn and do the principles to ensure our wilderness areas are there forever… or until the next ice age or what ever the next cycle of earth produces.

I have a 20 gauge CZ Redhead. They are ok. Metal work is so-so. If the gun is going to be shot a lot, there are better options.
Depends on use. Hunting its ok, clays, forget it as it won't hold up.
I much better value gun is the Baikal....assuming your husband doesn't mind a stiff action for a while.
They are butt ugly but they are made to last. It is about the only Russian product I can think of that is made well.

I was looking at a CZ Mallard the other day. I liked the looks and the action wasn't so stiff I couldn't shut it. I was wondering how it would hold up for some upland hunting.

But, the fact they are well finished and look nice doesn't mean you are getting a Beretta quality gun for less money.
They simply aren't in that league.
I would get a used White Onyx, SKB, or Rizzini over any new CZ.
Like I said depends on the use. Light hunting seasons, ok, but he shouldn't expect much more without repair work.
If you're looking in the price range, you can pick up a very nice Lanber for around the 7-800 dollar range. Check out and give CDNN a call, I believe they are one of the very few that stock them.

Robert George , the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, will serve as U.S. representative to the 20th anniversary of the French Consultative Committee on Ethics in Paris on Feb. 23. The theme of the event is "The Human Gene."

Representatives from several European countries and Japan and India also will speak, addressing a range of topics related to genetic research including economics, law, politics and religion.
A year ago, President Bush named George to the President's Council on Bioethics. The 18-member council, made up of eminent scientists, philosophers and other scholars, advises the president on key moral issues, such as embryonic stem cell research and cloning.

Motivation for Learning, Certifications and Current Media...
Personally, I've always had a burning passion for technology, particularly the whole hacking culture. Not so much the aspect of being able to break into something, but more so the fact that a "hacker" has to be like MacGyver.. He/she has to know a bit of everything in the IT world, from simple fixing of pc's, to in depth networking to programming, or even picking a lock etc..
What first gave me the big WOW of my life, to make me think, I want to know/ be able to do this.. Was when I first watched T2 in the theaters on opening day. In particular, the scene where John hacks into the ATM machine to get easy cash for video games.. That was it for me, no turning back... Super fascination, mom I WANT A LAPTOP! lol..
Anyways, I've found way later in life, since about 2000 when I started my in depth IT training and certification paths, that it's always great to have something to watch or read, that keeps me motivated.
The lack of accurate material out there is shameful.. I mean I loved the first Matrix, Sneakers was okay, but movies like Hackers with Jolie or anything that ever portrays true Information Security is always very inaccurate or just dumb down for the "non technical". So I always search for the best fiction cyber thrillers out there to read or listen to after I'm just like "damn I'm tired of computers!". It reminds me why I love all of this and rekindles that spark..
I find that the best book I've read in a long time that's actually seemed feasible and was exciting and accurate is Daemon by Daniel Suarez, his follow up Freedom, wasn't as good, but was needed for closure. Most other books are either too dated, or just don't show any true technicalities.
I really hope to see more good books like Daemon come out for us "geeks" , who truly understand the real concepts come out soon and from now on. Hollywood, well they'll probably be ten years behind if even that..
Any recommendations out there?
Just a random rant...

Maras, Moray and the Salt Mines -Sacred Valley

Where I stayed
In Maras, we walked to a Catholic Church with a mass service and listened to the singing and the priest who was speaking in Quechua, the language of the Inca civilization, presently spoken by about 7 million people in Peru. It doesn't sound at all like Spanish.
On our way to Moray, we passed locals making the adobe bricks for houses. A harvest was being separated by a team of donkeys circling and stepping on the ground. Lots of manual labor in Peru.
In Moray, I needed to use my wide angle lens as wide as it could go to take in the vast expanse of the circular agricultural terraces. We walked down to the center of the largest circle, using the stone stairs made by the Incas. These were steep stairs and we thought that Incas were short, so we were perplexed and wondering if they ran up and down the stairs with a stride that propelled them from one step to another. No one really knows the answer to this or any other question about the Incas you might come up with. It's conjecture and educated deductions. The Incas did not have a written alphabet, so we only know what the Conquistadors and their aides decided to write down or what has been verbally passed along from generation to generation.
David Ramos, our guide, brought along his Peruvian flute today and played for us at the bottom of the main circular terrace. We sat on the ground, I closed my eyes and listened to each note as it slowly joined the still wind. I was hoping that I would feel some of the earth energy this area is known for. I was focused and relaxed. At one point Harvey moved from the side where he had been taking photos to sit between me and the center. Immediately, I could feel a change in energy. A few minutes later when he moved to sit beside me, also facing the center, I could feel the energy return again
The Salt Mines create a vari-colored beige and brown graphic tapestry nestled between two mountains. We watched as families separated out the different colors of salt using rakes and their hands. Of course at the souvenir stand we purchased some local salt that looks like the fancy French sea salt or kosher salt. We made our first gift purchase in Peru. Yes, we are starting to help the local economy and doing our job as tourists. David helped me choose a quartz crystal pendulum. I was drawn to a deep turquoise and purple stone which I also purchased negotiating a small discount for purchasing two stones. I passed on the green and cream color stone that looked a little like vanilla fudge; supposedly it was from the Machu Picchu area and I figured I would pick it up when we got to Machu Picchu. If every tourist buys a stone from Machu Picchu, it seems to me that the entire city will disappear in a few years. Is it possible that these stones don't really come from Machu Picchu? As we walked in the late afternoon from the Salt Mines down to the Urubamba River we watched the colors change on the salt terraces and the mountains. Beautiful.
This evening we visited the planetarium at our hotel, the Casa Andina Private Collection Sacred Valley
