Liberated from his title of special teams coordinator for the Jets, Mike Westhoff was free to be candid in the wake of a disappointing and at times comical 6-10 season.
Westhoff, in his first few weeks of retirement, gave an interview to the Joe Rose Show on 560 WQAM in Miami on Friday morning and was critical of the way the Jets managed the salary cap, starting quarterback Mark Sanchez's ability to shoulder an offense and, most pointedly, Tim Tebow's baffling role in the offense.
"It was a mess," Westhoff said of the Tebow situation. "It was an absolute mess. You can say whatever else you want, it was really a mess. I was very, very disappointed. There are things that Tim Tebow as an NFL quarterback, he's very limited in some things. If you throw him in the middle of a drop-back passing offense, he will look very, very average at best. But if you incorporate him in different facets of your offense, I think he can be a factor. That's what I thought we were going to do, but we never did it."
Westhoff said there were some legitimate questions after a season in which Ryan and one-term offensive coordinator Tony Sparano failed to incorporate Tebow into the scheme with any success. Westhoff worked with Tebow as a punt protector, a role that went full time when safety Eric Smith was injured, and was impressed with Tebow's work ethic and skills.
Westhoff envisioned Tebow would be used as a combination tight end/halfback/fullback/quarterback and was dismayed to see that his largest role was essentially on special teams after his ribs were fractured in Seattle on Nov. 11. So what happened to the secret offense that was supposed to be so innovative?
"To be honest I don't think anyone ever answered that question, 'Why did we do it?' " Westhoff said. "I honestly don't know. I know we didn't practice it, we didn't practice it in training camp. We were going to unveil it. Well, I'm still waiting for the unveiling. And it didn't happen."As for starting quarterback Sanchez, Westoff expressed doubts that he could be the kind of talent that shoulders the burden for an imperfectly designed offense. The first two years of his career, when the Jets went to the AFC Championship Game twice, were the result of an all-around good team, Westhoff said.
"[Sanchez was the] manageable part of a good football team," Westhoff said. " ... Then all of a sudden the burden was thrust on Mark and that's just too much for him, in my opinion. Also, I think the whole offense needs to be designed around Mark, and you can say that it was, but there are just some things he doesn't do as well."
Westhoff also critiqued the way the Jets' personnel was put together, a task that fell to fired general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
"So much of the money is directed at the very top," Westhoff said. "Sometimes if you don't budget your team well you can destroy the middle and the bottom of your football team. And that's what happened to us. It happened. It's tough, if you're playing a handful of guys [that are] 40 percent of your salary cap, what the hell are you going to do with the rest of them?"
Westhoff even took a swipe at the defense, even though he praised defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who was hired this week by the Bills.
"I want to stop teams in the top 10, not the bottom 5," Westhoff said when discussing the unit.

[thomasvs: Yes, I should have added to my raw notes that I understood how unlikely/impossible (for reasons technical and otherwise) the notion was. However, I still wanted to raise the idea, for whatever good it might do.]
Watching the Gnome/KDE fuss rage on the UserLinux project reminded me of my belief that having these two independant projects is not an advantage for Linux or open source software in general. I also remembered that I wrote some notes on this subject a few months ago, in preparation for an article I wanted to write on the subject. That never got done, and I have little time for it now.
Now that the topic is hot, I thought that I'd put my notes here on Advogato and that that might spark some discussion of the problem. They are very brief, unformed, inconclusive -- just notes, in other words. I hope they will soon be expanded on.
Why The Independant Existence of Gnome & KDE is Bad For Linux =============================================================
* Gnome and KDE, to all intents and purposes, do the very same thing * this provides not choice, but the /appearance/ of choice * this kind of choice is not a help, but a hindrance, overall * like a babel of tongues * for choice, users have the standalone window managers * IceWM * Windowmaker * Evolution * Xfce * [Black|Flux|Open]box * many more
* massive duplication of effort * duplication of * office suites * KDE -- Koffice * Gnome -- Gnome Office * feature-full graphical email clients * KDE -- Kmail * Gnome -- Evolution * desktop/file manager * KDE -- konqueror * Gnome -- Nautilus * component-sharing system * KDE -- kparts * Gnome -- Bonobo * that effort could be spent elsewhere * this is also duplication of functionality that probably confuses new users
* inconsistent end-user experience * often very inconsistent look-n-feel
* "The competition is healthy." * We don't need competition in the realm of the FLOSS desktop. We need more cooperation -- there's plenty of real competition out there. * The clash of loyalties creates a lot of unnecessary waste. Waste of time, energy, good will, etc.

Since it is easy to SINK current with an NPN transistor or N-Channel MOSFET it makes sense to use Common Cathode LEDS and SOURCE drivers. Then you can SOURCE 20 mA of power from each of 300 output pins and SINK the 6A (300 anodes * 20 mA each) for each layer with a single transistor.
What would a basic setup for this be so I can learn and then possibly scale it up? Also and NPN transistor supplies current through it once I apply the voltage to the gate one it, correct? Does a MOSFET do the same?
He decided to use STP16 chips and software to handle the pwm instead of going with the TLC5940. Would that be a better option or which would allow for smoother transitions in the animations?
You could use as1130 as this drives up to a 11x12 matrix.so use 10 drivers and thats it.
upload a new animation to the TLC5940...
if not then where would they be stored

You said using an arduino uno or mega would not be able to hold more than a couple of seconds and that reading an sd card wouldn't work well.

I'm currently making my first turn based tactical combat game and I'm interested in your feedback.
So far I've grouped all actions into 4 categories
1. Offensive
2. Defensive
3. Movement
4. Incidental (for actions like falling prone, taking cover, or opening a door)
Actions are managed by action points. Every unit gets 2 action points per round which can be spent on offensive, defensive, or movement actions. Incidental actions are free actions.
What this means is that in one round you can
1. move, attack
2. move, defend
3. move, move
4. defend, attack
5. attack twice
6. defend, defend (full defense)
At the moment, I just need to figure out how my 6 armed troll will attack. At this point I might have to create several action points per category, but I'm not sure I like how complex it seems to make the system.
Can any of the experts here suggest a better action economy?

Wisconsin remembers OSU heartbreak
Takes field at the 'Horseshoe' Saturday
MADISON - Clad in a Badgers Football hoodie, Beau Allen stands in the bowels of Camp Randall Stadium, surrounded by reporters, and reflects on two years of heartbreak.
"I just remember the feeling of disappointement and anger after losing those close games. That's something that has stuck with me and I think stuck with the rest of the guys."
Those close game losses, of course, occured against Ohio State the last two seasons. In 2011, a Braxton Miller to Devin Smith 40 yard touchdown with 20 seconds remaining sent Ohio Stadium into a frenzy and gave the Buckeyes a 33-29 win.
Last year, the Ohio State came to Camp Randall and eeked out a 21-14 overtime win to keep their undefeated season intact.
Needless to say, seniors like James White can't wait for a shot at revenge Saturday.
"This will be my last time playing them, so it's going to be an emotional game, a fun game. It's going to be a four quarter game, so we have to prepare hard for this week."
For at least two Badgers, Chris Borland and head coach Gary Andersen, there's extra incentive heading into Ohio Stadium. Borland is an Ohio native. He grew up in Kettering, Ohio, about an hour west of Columbus.
"We'll have family there to take the victory lap for the fifth year, so it'll be a lot of fun."
For Gary Andersen, Saturday represents a chance to compete against Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer. Andersen served as a defensive line coach under Meyer during Meyer's time at Utah.
"He's a good coach. It's a good staff. They've been on a roll for a long time, winning games, so I'm excited to have a chance to compete against him."
The Badgers and Buckeyes kickoff from Columbus Saturday night at 7 p.m.

As it turns out Obama will not be shutting down Gitmo as promised on the Campaign trail. ...wow who would have thunk it?http://article.nationalreview.com/?q...RjOWIzOGEzMzk=November 26, 2008 12:00 AM
Playing Games at Gitmo
Nothing clarifies the mind like a jihadi boomerang.
By Michelle Malkin
The human-rights crowd is right: Life is hard for a Guantanamo Bay detainee. The deprivation is unspeakable. According to the facility's "cultural adviser," their brains have not been "stimulated" enough. So this Thanksgiving, America is drawing up plans to provide the 250 or so suspected jihadists at the "notoriously Spartan" detention camp with basic sustenance including, as reported by the Miami Herald, movie nights, art classes, English-language lessons, and "Game Boy-like" electronic devices.
Next up: Wii Fit, Guitar Hero, Sudoku, People magazine, and macrame. Anything less would be uncivilized.
On a deadly serious note, the detainees aren't the only ones playing games at Gitmo. Some top legal advisers and supporters of Barack Obama, whose name detainees chanted on election night, are now rethinking the president-elect's absolutist campaign position on shutting the center down and flooding our mainland courts with every last enemy combatant designee. Yes, reality bites. And Democrats must now grapple with the very real possibility that an Obama administration could potentially release a Gitmo denizen who would turn around and commit mass terrorist acts on American soil or abroad.
Nothing clarifies the mind like a jihadi boomerang. Never before have an administration and its followers matured so quickly in office — and they haven't even taken office yet.
While Obama paid lip service to the "Close the Gitmo gulag!" agenda on 60 Minutes over the weekend, his kitchen cabinet is proceeding more pragmatically. Believe it or not, the Obama crowd is now contemplating a preventive detention law and an alternative judicial system for the most sensitive national security cases involving the most highly classified information — information that has no place being aired in the civilian courts for public consumption.
Listen to relentless Bush critic David Cole, who told the New York Times last week: "You can't be a purist and say there's never any circumstance in which a democratic society can preventively detain someone." Added Ben Wittes of the Brookings Institution: "I'm afraid of people getting released in the name of human rights and doing terrible things."
Moreover, Obama transition team members have suggested to The Wall Street Journal that despite his campaign season CIA-bashing, "Obama may decide he wants to keep the road open in certain cases for the CIA to use techniques not approved by the military, but with much greater oversight."

By JB Clark and Sarah Robinson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland received a letter containing a suspicious substance, similar to letters received by President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said at a Wednesday night news conference that his department was notified of the suspicious letter and substance at 9 a.m. on April 10.
"As of (Wednesday) we were contacted by the FBI because of recent letters sent to Sen. Wicker and President Obama," Johnson said. "The way they were written, postmark, and the content were similar. The federal people arrived at our facility with a portable lab, took possession of the letter that was analyzed at the portable lab."
Johnson said the letter was addressed to a specific judge but wouldn't release a name. State Rep. Steve Holland confirmed it was his mother, Judge Sadie Holland.
Preliminary results show the substance found in Holland's letter is similar to the ricin found in the letters sent to Wicker and Obama.
Johnson said no one has shown symptoms of being exposed to the substance, thought to be a poison called ricin.
The letter has been taken by the FBI for further testing.
Johnson said the FBI notified the Lee County Sheriff's Office of a local person of interest and worked with the FBI and other local agencies to bring a North Mississippi man into custody.
He wouldn't release the name of the man they took into custody because they have not yet filed charges.
In a Wednesday evening press release Daniel McMullen, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Mississippi, announced arresting Paul Kevin Curtis Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. at his Corinth residence.
Johnson said, if the substance mailed to Holland is ricin, they will file charges against their suspect for aggravated assault against a public official, aggravated assault against the court staff who handled the letter and possession of a weapon of mass destruction.
All three letters were postmarked from Memphis.
Johnson said the suspect has been cooperative since being taken into custody.
Former Lee County Assistant District Attorney David Daniels told the Daily Journal he has received a plain white envelope at his home with his name typed on the front. He said the envelope is rather thick.
Daniels said he is taking it to the Lee County Sheriff's Office today.
Daniels filed a restraining order against Curtis after a 2001 altercation and hasn't had contact with Curtis since.
Johnson said they expect to receive results of the chemical tests quickly so they can proceed with local charges.

If it isn't a Winchester its just a clone.
You are definetly right man. 835's are the best turkey gun there is. my dad regularly shots turkeys in the head with it at 60yds and more! with usually 20 or more BB's in the head. Why do you think i made my login name what it is?[:D]ORIGINAL: kdsberman
835 definetly. 870 is a good gun, but the 835 is a turkey killing machine. Ive never had ANY problems with my 835 nor have i ever heard that they have safeties breaking. And they are far from cheap/cheap feeling. Get an 835.
ORIGINAL: Don S
I was just wandering from people with experience with both what is the best choice ? I don't care if one kicks more I will add a mercury tube to the stock anyway, lets talk performance. lets say both have 26" barrels and are 3.5" guns, is Mossbergs backbored barrel enough to matter? Wally world has the 870 for 327 and the 835 for 309, so price doesn't come into play. Well I guess thats really my question "backbored or not? "

What's a new year in Rhode Island without a few indictments?
Such cynicism — some would say realism — might not seem out of place, given the state's long-running association with corruption, as well as the particular nuances of this latest scandal linking politics and the private sector. What could be more quintessentially Rhode Island, after all, than a State House influence-peddling scheme in which three Roger Williams Medical Center officials are alleged to have deprived citizens of the honest services of former state Senator John A. Celona (D-North Providence), potentially jeopardizing the hospital's Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements? Or how, in the first-ever federal corruption indictment of a nonprofit institution in Rhode Island, the defendants include a community hospital named for the state's very founder?
There was a ritualized familiarity to the entire process surrounding the January 5 indictments, from the role played by federal prosecutors and the Providence Journal in unearthing related details, to how the media gaggle covering the January 12 arraignment tried to squeeze fresh news from an essentially bland procedural matter. (Asked by one reporter about his reaction to the defendants' not-guilty pleas, US Attorney Robert Clark Corrente shot back, "It happens in almost every arraignment that I've ever seen.")
Still, it would be unfortunate if an already apathetic public uses the Roger Williams Medical Center case as a rationale for bolstering its cynicism and reinforcing its disengagement from the civic process. Political dirty-dealing is hardly restricted to such perceived bulwarks as Rhode Island, Louisiana, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Jersey — a situation made abundantly clear by corruption scandals involving the likes of lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the Republican congressman from California.
The common link in these instances is an old story — the illicit things that not uncommonly happen because of the juncture of money and political power. Not coincidentally, the recognition of how big bucks dominate our political life leads average Americans to withdraw, because they believe they can't make a difference. Yet considering such deeply entrenched public inattention, is it any surprise that some take advantage?
Power and money"Money is the mother's milk of politics," a simple expression coined by Jesse Unruh, a former speaker of the California Assembly, offers a profound insight into our civic culture. Not only is the success of individual candidates closely tied to the relative volume of political donations, there remains a strong attraction between powerful interests and elected officials who can influence the course of legislation.
In Rhode Island, the veiled — if not completely hidden — ties between legislators and unions or private businesses have long concerned advocates of good government.
One such instance came to light in November 2004, when the Providence Journal's Mike Stanton reported on how former state Representative Gerard M. Martineau, while in a position to influence legislation affecting Woonsocket-based drugstore giant CVS and Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, was profiting from a private business relationship with the two companies. (Martineau, who declined to be interviewed at the time, told Stanton via e-mail that he was proud of his public service.)

I have used Mandrill for almost 2 months now and I got to say I'm very impressed. I came onboard in the middle of the MailChimp integration so I guess that now is only good if you use MailChimp as your email marketing provider.andnbsp;Set up is very easy (You may need to know a little bit of code to set it up) but didn't take me more than 50 minutes to put the key on the script, create the actions and make sure everything worked. After that, you might need to set up the templates. Thse are the same as the Mailchimp ones so again if you are a Mailchimp power user you can integrate with the templates you have available on your account or go ahead and copy paste/import the code no coding skills required.So far the emails always get to my costumers, and I barely need any kind of maintenance of any kind. This product has saved me a lot of manual remarketing, something that I was doing before deciding to make a purchase.Cost: The cost is included (At least for my tier) on the monthly payments I make to Mailchimp. These payments vary with the number of users you might have on your lists.andnbsp;Interface: Very user-friendly. For heavy users, the tags on the templates can be life savers.Team needed: I would say you need a developer to set everything up including the automation actions and a marketer/front end designer to set up all the campaign.Analytics: Mandrill does not have the best analytics suite, but they are decent to get an overview of the campaigns (Open rates, clicks, etc.) Overall, I would recommend this product if transactional emails are time-consuming in your organization. If you have Mailchimp paid, account muchandnbsp;better.

New Program Aids Iraqi Refugees
Damascus, Syria — It was a cold yet sunny day after Christmas when a young Iraqi woman walked to church in central Damascus, Syria where workers were unloading boxes of hygiene supplies to crowds of waiting Iraqi refugees. An American reporter asked Jeanette to comment on her situation. She responded defiantly, "Everyone knows how bad the situation is for Iraqi refugees in Syria." Then, she began to tell her story.
Twenty-eight-years-old and a college graduate, she worked in Baghdad for a foreign organization that provided computer and English language training for disadvantaged children. Her work was fulfilling. She even traveled to Jordan for further training, but like many Iraqis who work with foreigners, she was threatened by insurgents who view such Iraqis as collaborators. When a church near her home was bombed in 2007, her parents decided to send her and her brother to Damascus. Today, jobless and with little chance of finding meaningful work in Syria, she dreams of getting her parents out of Baghdad and migrating to Canada.
On the other side of Damascus, in the predominantly Shi'a neighborhood of Set Zeinab, a man named Kazin tells visitors another dramatic story of escape from Iraq. Kazin, a tailor who once owned his own shop in the holy Shi'a city of Karbala, was imprisoned and tortured during the Saddam years merely because some of his clients were political dissidents.
He was eventually released and came to Syria where he supports his family in their small apartment by sewing women's head coverings. "I want to return to Karbala," says Kazin, "but I know that my shop and all my property were taken." When his 16-year-old daughter Fatima steps into the room and shyly greets the visitors, he proudly holds out one of her science books and says that his greatest hope in life now is for her to become a surgeon.
One of the World's Largest Refugee Emergencies
The U.N. estimates that, since 2003, over 4 million Iraqi refugee and internally displaced persons have fled their homes. Of that 4 million, an estimated 1.5 million are living in Syria. However, since Syria and other Middle Eastern host countries do not allow their Iraqi "guests" to work, staying is not a viable option — but neither is returning to an unstable Iraq.
IOCC is addressing this crisis by significantly expanding its humanitarian work in Syria, begun in 2002 with small projects for schools and orphanages.
The current $1.98 million program assists 4,100 Iraqi refugees and disadvantaged Syrians with school tuition, uniforms, supplies and tutoring. Others are receiving the vocational training of their choice including, hair styling, car repair, cell phone repair, sewing, and computer skills.
The program, funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM), is also providing Christian, Sunni, and Shi'a Iraqi and disadvantaged Syrian families with emergency hygiene supplies, and 15,000 school kits worth $228,000 are being delivered to schools through the efforts of Orthodox parishes around the country and IOCC's partnership with Church World Service (CWS). In addition, Lutheran World Relief (LWR) has donated 9,500 baby kits worth $358,000 to the program.
Easing Syria's Social Welfare Burden
"IOCC's program eases the social welfare burden on Syria's central government created by the absorption of so many refugees," says Samer Laham, Director of Development for the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch which is implementing IOCC's program in Syria. "It is beyond the capacity of Syria and the United Nations to completely assist all the Iraqis in this country," he continued. IOCC's program is being implemented in other parts of Syria that harbor large numbers of Iraqi refugees including the northeastern city of Al Kameeshly near the Iraqi and Turkish borders and the northwestern city of Aleppo.
One of the most effective aspects of IOCC's program in Syria is the vocational training offered to Iraqi refugees. Several of the components, such as cell phone repair, hair styling and sewing have been redesigned with intensive sessions so that Iraqis, whose living situations tend to be unstable, can complete the courses. This vocational training affords refugees their best chance at finding employment since most of the jobs allow Iraqis to work from their home. Cell phone repair, one of the most in-demand jobs in the Arab world can garner a refugee a monthly wage of up to $500 per month — an average Syrian salary. The program's component that teaches English is also in demand among Iraqi young people who consider English the "language of business" and who need it to make them better candidates for immigration to a third country.
A Sign of Solidarity
On that cold day after Christmas, IOCC provided Jeanette and her brother with a hygiene kit. Kazin, of Set Zeinab, also received hygiene kits and tuition assistance for two of his children. While such aid is a long way from completely solving the complex problems of refugees who can neither return to their homeland nor stay permanently in their host country, it is, as Laham puts it, "a sign of solidarity towards vulnerable Iraqis — to both Christians and Muslims. It is certainly our hope that this first major program with IOCC in Syria will be only the beginning of more to come."

Hey! It ain't Christmas yet, TI! No mushroom clouds yet!
(And, the way I heard it, Christmas might be cancelled. Santa's either doing hard time in a federal prison for his infamous crime, or he's dead because an FBI agent put a bullet in his head. It depends on which version you believe.)
That's my jacket!
Speaking of "extreme stupidity"... let's celebrate the lyrics to "Dare to be Stupid" today!!!
Put down your chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite
You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before its time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch
You better squeeze all the Charmin you can while Mr. Whipple's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan
Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite off more than you chew
What can you do
Dare to be stupid
Take some wooden nickles
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid
You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi and forget to leave a tip
Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Let's go
It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill
So can I have a volunteer
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drive you away
It's OK, you can dare to be stupid
It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free
Dare to be stupid (yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Dare to be stupid
Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatoes can be your friends
You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
What did I say!
Dare to be stupid
Tell me, what did I say?
Dare to be stupid
It's alright
Dare to be stupid
We can be stupid all night
Dare to be stupid
Come on, join the crowd
Dare to be stupid
Shout it out loud
Dare to be stupid
I can't hear you
Dare to be stupid
OK, I can hear you now
Dare to be stupid
Let's go, Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Ive been watching the Craigslist video over and over I LOVE IT!!!!
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!
I couldn't find the new Essential WAY c.d. in any stores locally, so I used this thing called Nile, or Danube, or Missouri on the web. Ever heard of it? It came in the mail today, but I have yet to listen to it. From the back cover playlist, there doesn't really seem to be much "new," but it's like an MP3 playlist of the "best" songs, I suppose (see previous posts here, to discuss which should've been replaced with "better best" ones).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
His new CD is supposed to come out "sometime this year," according to his website. I wonder: will his polka song be Beatles hits or Michael Jackson songs? Discuss...
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
i would take some jackson.
One way to out think people is to make them think you think they'll think what you are not really trying to get them to think what you think.

LiDAR: Provides wealth of information
It was better than Christmas. I was handed the much anticipated Kenai Peninsula 2008 LiDAR data. For a GIS (Geographic Information System) analyst, it is like ice cream to a baby, and we were given 500 gigabytes of the stuff. I've distributed portions of the data to geologists and engineers, only to have them show up a few days later wide eyed and wanting more.
So what's the big deal? Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) measures the distance to an object using light. By knowing the speed of light, the range of the target is determined by the round trip time of the laser. Much like SoNAR (Sound Navigation And Ranging) uses sound to expose the details of the sea floor, LiDAR uses a laser to measure the elevation across a landscape. Sounds simple, but imagine you are trying to take a measurement every three feet, in an aircraft 6,000 feet above the ground, and traveling over 200 mph. These are some of the many challenges Aerometric of Anchorage faced to meet the contract requirements.
The area surveyed included the Western Kenai Peninsula and the upper Kenai River Watershed. The LiDAR data are used to produce a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and a Digital Surface Model (DSM). A DEM represents a bare (bald) earth model of the land, as if all the trees and structures were removed. From the DEM, a variety of products can be produced relatively easily such as elevation contours (down to 2 feet), flood plain and tidal surge maps, and wildfire risk assessments. A DSM on the other hand includes all the trees and structures and is useful for aerial navigation, forestry, viewsheds, radio propagation, etc. These products require some heavy computing power to produce, but are relatively straight forward. The raw LiDAR data itself holds a wealth of information; the hard part is filtering out the parts you want.
The first LiDAR applications were in the 1930s using search lights. Lasers have been used since the 1960s. The technology really started to advance in the 1990s with solid state lasers, well developed global positioning system, and advancements in mobile computing capabilities. The first commercial airborne LiDAR systems came out in the 1990s. Unlike terrestrial systems, airborne LiDAR is not only moving but the aircraft is encountering roll, pitch and yaw. To account for the constant change in position and orientation the airborne LiDAR incorporates an inertial navigation system to measure all these factors and correct the data.
In practice, the aircraft flies a series of flight lines over the survey area. The LiDAR unit emits tens of thousands of laser pulses a second in back and forth sweeps. Each individual laser pulse starts as a narrow beam. However, by the time it travels 6000 feet it is about 3 feet wide. As the laser pulse contacts the ground, it is reflected by the terrain and received back at the aircraft as a complex waveform. The waveform is representative of what the laser hits on its way to the ground. For example, if the laser shines on a tree, the wave will have peaks from the tree top, branches, and finally the ground. These peaks are often separated by software into four "returns" (first, second, third, and last). Each of these "returns" has a position (latitude and longitude), and an elevation. Together they are referred to as a point cloud. In general the first return represents the surface with all the trees and structures and is used to create the Digital Surface Model. The last return is used to generate the bare earth or Digital Elevation Model.
With a laser emitting about 33 to 70 thousand cycles a second and each cycle producing up to four returns, for days on end -- that's a lot of data. That is why it took years to produce the final product. To produce a bare earth model, structures must be removed. Much of the processing is automated by custom programming, but a lot is done manually.
Before the LiDAR was delivered, it had to undergo a rigorous quality control process. This was done by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.
So how did it all turn out? For the western Peninsula the contract called for a vertical accuracy less than one foot and horizontal accuracy of 3.2 feet. The accuracy assessment calculated the accuracy to be even better. This is an extremely high quality and rich dataset that will provide many benefits to the Kenai Peninsula. A large consortium of Federal, State, and local public and private stakeholders were responsible for seeing this project through (including the EPA, USGS, Kenai Borough, and Kenai Watershed Forum).
The data is publically available through Alaska Mapped and the Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative (http://www.alaskamapped.org/).

5 Questions with International Coastal Cleanup Coordinator Hilberto Riverol of Belize
Posted On September 15, 2012 by Catherine Fox
Since 1911, The Scout Association of Belize has taught children to protect and care for the environment on a daily basis. As it happens, their small Central American country on the Caribbean is a rugged place of great natural beauty. Coastal waters host extraordinary marine life, especially along the world's second largest barrier reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
So back in 1992 when Hilberto Riverol, national scout executive with the association, heard that the Ramada Hotel in Belize City was gathering volunteers for the country's first International Coastal Cleanup, he signed up. Some 600 participants including the scouts removed more than three tons of trash from approximately 18 miles of the coast. Continue reading »

Amy Johnson was visiting a retirement community in Iowa looking to market her web-based software product where she met a resident she'll never forget. He wanted to communicate with his family, but a stroke had robbed him of the ability to speak. To introduce himself to Amy, he had to take her over to his mailbox on his door and point to his name.
She had a solution. In no time at all, she had him happily in front of a computer using her software's instant message function to chat up his brother in New York.
Johnson's company, Omaha-based Life Loop, offers a lifestyle management and resident engagement platform for senior living communities. They provide a platform that connects residents with their busy families and both with the staff in charge of the residents' care.

SKF Duralife (V)
The fluoro rubber (FKM) compound, SKF Duralife1), has been developed by SKF and is characterized by its very good wear, thermal and chemical resistance. Its resistance to weather and ageing from UV light and ozone is also very good and its gas permeability is very slight.
SKF Duralife has exceptional properties even under harsh environmental conditions and can withstand operating temperatures up to 200 °C (390 °F). The material is also resistant to oils and hydraulic fluids, fuels and lubricants, mineral acids and aliphatics as well as aromatic hydrocarbons that would cause many other seal materials to fail. Seals made of SKF Duralife can also tolerate dry running of the lip for short periods. The seals should not be used in the presence of esters, ethers, ketones, certain amines and hot anhydrous hydrofluorides. Because of the compound's valuable properties, SKF manufactures seals with sealing lips made of SKF Duralife for all common shaft diameters.
WarningAt temperatures above 300 °C (570 °F), all fluoro elastomers and PTFE compounds give off dangerous fumes. This can occur, for example, if a welding torch is used when removing a bearing. Although the fumes are only produced at such high temperatures, once heated, the seals will be dangerous to handle even when they have cooled down. If it is necessary to handle PTFE or fluoro elastomer seals that have been subjected to the high temperatures mentioned above, the following safety precautions should be observed:
- Protective goggles and gloves should always be worn.
- The remains of seals should be put in an airtight plastic container marked "Material will etch".
- Comply with the safety precautions included in the material safety data that can be provided upon request.
If there is contact with your skin, this should be washed with soap and plenty of water. Wash your eyes with plenty of water if these materials get into your eyes. A doctor should always be consulted. This also applies if the fumes have been inhaled.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Two-headed Lindwurms are a strange breed that are usually only be seen at night—especially when the moons are full and they feel their vigor is at its best for hunting. The rest of the time, these dragons are well-hidden deep within caves or crypts; they enjoy sitting in dark places. Each of their heads has a different mood and personality than the other, and since they have different brains, they rarely share the same thoughts—and never the same pain. They are so fully separated, one head can be asleep while the other is awake.

Iron-ore miners are struggling. Not as much as gold miners, mind you, but have struggling nonetheless. They now look cheap, but that doesn't mean their struggles are a thing of the past.
A lot of bad news is price into mining stocks, Credit Suisse says, and its analysts list four factors that give them hope:
1) commodity prices c.10% below spot levels are largely priced in (20-30% lower for iron ore names); 2) large cap average dividend yield sits at 4.2%, above the FTSE average; 3) market implied margins and returns are back to 2002/3 levels (below mid-cycle); 4) we believe the market has given up on NPVs / longer term valuation methods, providing upside potential for companies that can divest marginal assets and / or deliver EPS growth.
Unfortunately, the situation could always get worse:
China growth trending below 7% would likely push commodities into deeper surpluses (more than 10% downside vs. spot levels) and exacerbate the deflationary trends currently at force (prices/currencies/costs). However, this is not our base case and, equally, we see little optimism for a potential (OECD led?) demand recovery later this year.
Credit Suisse lowered its earnings-per-share and price forecasts for BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO), citing lower iron ore prices, among other reasons, but left their Neutral and Outperform ratings, respectively, unchanged.
BHP has dipped 0.6% to $57.74, Rio has fallen 1.6% to $40.66 and Vale (VALE) has dropped 2.6% to $13.00.
Rio and Vale have been hit by threats of violence in Mozambique. The Wall Street Journal reports:

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Finally saw Inception....wow. And got the special collectors edition of Avatar.
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
A-Team - Actually a pretty good action flick. I was suprised how the flick managed to retain some of the TV series' plot devices (most notably the over-the-top contraptions and conning BA into getting onto planes) but at the same time infuse its own personality and remained grounded in some reality. Yes there were some far-fetched moments. VERY far-fetched. But it still managed to remain fun to watch. It felt like a Mission Impossible movie. At least the first MI movie. Not that dog puke of a sequel.
Murdock was the only character I felt was given a disservice. The other three seemed to have equal play time and developed characterization.
Salt - If you liked the Bourne movies, you'll like Salt. I'm not a huge Angelina Jolie fan. But she played her part very well. There were even some surprising moments that allowed her to flex her acting chops. This is not a James Bond espionage flick. Like I said its akin to Bourne. If you didn't like Bourne you probably won't like Salt.
While browsing Hulu for something to watch I stumbled upon Valerian & Lauraline. Entertaining to watch. There are 40 animated episodes. Got to 22 so far.
I thought some of the elements of this series looked a lot like Star Wars and a few other films like The Fifth Element. Come to find out that even though the cartoon series debut was in the 90's, the French authored comic book came out in the 60's and they used some of these ideas in the animated series.
Just who influenced who?
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader last week. This was my second favorite book of the Narnia series when I was a kid (A Horse and His Boy being my favorite), but I always knew that it would be a tough film to make since there is no real villain for the story. So I was expecting it to suffer a bit as a stand alone film; however, enough of my favorite scenes from the book made it into the film that I was reasonably happy with it. Also the kid chosen to play Eustace did a great job. A very different take on the character from what I imagined in the book, but he managed to be annoying without being completely unlikable.
Also, Reepicheep has been one of my all-time favorite literary characters ever since I read the books back in high school; so it was great to see him portrayed so well in the film.
I just wish the merchandising for the Narnia franchise was more successful, I would love to have a life-sized Reepicheep figure.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
But I also think the questionable credibility of the film lingered in the back of my mind and may have had an impact on my enjoyment of it.

Does anyone have a good macaroni salad?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone have a good macaroni salad?
I have a pattern called Three Bean Salad.
No a food salad.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
QuiltE, that sounds so good! I do same only with real mayo instead of dressing. Will try yours next time with salmon.....
My MIL's Shrimp & Macaroni Salad
2 cans of tiny shrimp - any brand will do - for some reason fresh bay shrimp does not
1 package of salad macaroni - cooked, rinsed and cooled
1 cup of chopped pickles - we use Kosher dill pickles
1 cup of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped green onions
Mixed together with mayonnaise - we use a little over a cup - depends on how you like it covered then garlic salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced hard boiled eggs and paprika sprinkled on top.
It is always a hit.
I cook one box of macaroni in salty water. The water is suppose to be as salty as the ocean. Chop 1/2 onion, three celery sticks, three or four sweet pickles and two chopped hard boiled eggs. Mix with the macaroni. For the dressing
1 1/4 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, a sprinkle of paprika, salt and pepper. Mix with the macaroni and cool. It's better if it sits for a while. Adjust spices before serving. I also like to add albacore tuna.
I promise not to buy any more fabric until I see something I really like. Or it's on sale. Or I think it might match something.
I like 2 cups cook macaroni, 1 can of stawed tomatos, and 1/4 cup sugar {more or less as you all} mix together. best of set a few hours.
Scrapy quilts have more love in them.

I think I read a post somewhere that boga grips are not as kind to fish as we hope. Any thoughts or places to find out more? thanks Eddie
I think I read a post somewhere that boga grips are not as kind to fish as we hope. Any thoughts or places to find out more? thanks Eddie
I am DOWN on bogagrips!
I avoid holding the fish out of the water as much as possible. I'll lip them only if it speeds up the release. When the fish is lipped in the traditional bubba bass way, the fish settles down - but when lipped without bending the jaw, it thrashes uncontrollably. The bogagrip lips the jaw without bending it back, allowing the fish to thrash. In combination with the lack of support the thrashing itself has got to inflict damage to a heavy fish out of water held by the tip of it's unbent lower jaw.
Therefore, if I am going to lip a striper I want to do it with my thumb and forefinger to settle it down, leaving some of the weight of the fish in the water while the hook is removed and using my other hand to support it's weight if lifted for a photo - not a metal device that allows the fish to thrash around.
If the fish is legal and it's one of the few per year you fillet, whatever but for released fish I give it <b>three thumbs down</b>.
Eddie and Juro,
This is one of my pet peeves (as I have written in the past). Too many people see the fly fishing luminaries use these devices and assume that if Flip Pallot, Lefty Kreh, or Andy Mill use them, then they are okay.
The Boga just promotes the weighing of every fish, and it is just for ego IMO. The jaws are two pieces of metal that are too narrow in cross section for me - so when they come together they concentrate all the weight of the fish on one very small point. We all talk about wanting to properly handle fish to allow them the best chance to survive. So why risk screwing up the jaw musculature of a fish and possibly impair its ability to feed in the future? What did we ever do before the advent of this $115 gadget? My favorite is watching that a**hole Andy Mill have every false albacore, redfish or bonefish weighed on his fishing show - he'd be better off carrying a tape measure as he frequently overestimates the length and has to be corrected by the guide.
As someone once wrote on one of these boards with regard to striper fishing and Boga Grips - Doesn't anyone value a shredded thumb anymore after catching lots of fish - wasn't it a sign of a very good outing, almost like a badge of honor?

Assisting Emotionally Distressed Students:
Faculty and Staff Guide
What is the College Mental Health Program?
Regular contact with students at Saddleback College is typically pleasant and productive. However, on occasion we experience behavior that causes concern for us about a student's well being. Various campus services are available to provide support for you and your students if situations of concern arise. This website is provided by the College Mental Health Program in response to your requests for recommendations and support in dealing with troubling student behavior on campus.
This website offers concrete advice and guidance on how to aid emotionally distressed students and how to refer them for on-campus help. Because of your daily interaction with students, you are in a unique position to recognize those who may be emotionally troubled. A student's behavior, especially if it is inconsistent with your previous observations, might be a "cry for help." Your ability to recognize the signs of emotional distress, coupled with your courage to acknowledge your concerns directly to the student, are often noted by students as the most significant factor in their successful problem resolution. Intervention and referrals from caring individuals may be the first steps in helping students regain their emotional health.
When to Immediately Call Police
- You or another person is in immediate danger
- You believe that a student is about to harm her/himself
- A student is out of control and is distrupting the classroom.
