One feature of our new radio we were really excited about was Digital Selective Calling or DSC, which literally lets you dial up another boat, or a bunch of boats, just like using a telephone and then switch them all to a pre-determined frequency. Of course we have tested this with friends once they figured out what their MMSI number was.
However, in real life it would seem that nobody uses it, as it is neither intuitive nor all that easy to use. No, on a day to day basis, in all the countries we have cruised to, it seems that everyone still hails another boat on channel 16 or a designated local hailing frequency. This includes the professionally crewed mega yachts and their sometimes even bigger support ships. Even they hail each other on 16 before moving their traffic elsewhere. The only report we have heard of boats actually using DSC was a small fleet transiting pirate infested waters, where secretly hailing your friends is a really good thing.
The other feature that sold us on this radio, was that we could 'easily' connect it to our NMEA compliant chart plotter to receive a GPS feed. Our position would thus automatically be transmitted should we ever have the need to activate the built in emergency DSC broadcast. The radio would also display our Lat & Lon on its screen which we thought would be very useful at the navigation station for our log recording.
It took a while, but in the end we managed to find and then convince the technicians at both of the manufacturers to sell us the special connectors we needed to hook them together. As we are proponents of backups for everything, we had also acquired a second, though simpler, VHF with DSC along with a second chart plotter, this time both from the same manufacturer.
By now we were at a dock in the Canary Islands and assembled our installation crew together. Two guys were computer whizzes, one was big into Ham radios and knew everything, while the fourth was actually a professional marine electronics installer – at least they said they were.
They all had a personal interest in coming. Besides the ulterior motive of accessing our fridge full of cold beer, they were all having difficulty connecting their own GPS to their DSC VHF radios – and we had two very representative combinations: one upscale setup with two different manufacturers, and one lower end setup with both units from the same manufacturer.
We spent that afternoon and evening pulling wires and hooking things up and eventually called it a night in frustration. Next morning we continued swapping wires, soldering, and changing settings on the radios and GPS units all to no avail. Emails were sent and responses scrutinized.
After a couple of weeks with boats departing across the pond and new experts arriving, we too set off for the Caribbean, where we spent seven glorious months cruising the islands, all the while swapping advice with other cruisers on how to make our radios work.
We just had to stop worrying about the DSC and the GPS.
Alex and Daria Blackwell have not stopped worrying of course, but is the relative difficulty of making the connection and/or registering to blame for the relatively low take-up of the technology? It would seem so by the number of emails that we received suggesting similar problems to those encountered by these experienced and hardy cruisers.
The other issue is, if the technology is so good, why are there not fully integrated systems? Why is it necessary to have to use one cable to bring the GPS signal from any compatible external devices to the radios at low baud, and to use another cable to take the AIS information from the radio to the compatible plotter at high baud? Why don't VHF radios come with an integrated GPS receiver?
These are all good questions asked in emails, but it does not shift the responsibility from boat owners to continue to achieve the necessary connections and registrations, while encouraging boffins to make them more trouble-free, less complex and, hopefully, integrated.
For those who would like more information about the installation, connection and registration of current systems, there is an excellent article by the Cruising Club of America suggested by 'Suddenly Alone' lecturer Ron Trossbach, which is USA centred, but the information is largely relevant no matter which is your sailing home country.
It also includes full details of the formats for making a distress call, and the format comes in an easily printable form which would be an excellent form to retain on your boat. To obtain it, http://www.cruisingclub.org/pdfs/safety_dsc_distress_comm_form.pdf!click here.

About the Group
An efficient structural system for tall building construction to resist earthquake loads consists of reinforced concrete shear walls connected by coupling beams. Construction of coupling beams that satisfy the strength and detailing requirements set forth in ACI 318-05 for diagonally reinforced coupling beams is cumbersome and costly; therefore, ACI 318-08 provides a new detailing option which aims to improve the constructability while maintaining adequate strength and ductility. Eight half-scale specimens were tested to compare the performance of beams constructed utilizing new and old detailing options, to compare beams with diagonal reinforcement to beams with straight bars at higher aspect ratios, and to assess the impact of reinforced and post-tensioned slabs. Test results indicate that the new detailing approach provides equal, if not improved behavior as compared to the alternative detailing approach and that including a slab had only a modest impact on strength, stiffness, ductility, and observed damage.
Understanding of the load-deformation characteristics is essential to modeling the overall system response to seismic loading. Modeling studies are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of current modeling approaches with respect to key performance parameters, including effective elastic stiffness, ductility, and residual strength. As well, most of the experimental work that has been performed on coupling beams has been on specimens at less than full-scale. The impact of this scaling effect on the full-scale models is presented and shown to be potentially significant on the expected ductility of the member. A brief summary of simplified modeling techniques using commercially available software is presented to provide practical applications for design engineers. Results indicate that these simple modeling approaches reasonably capture measured force versus deformation behavior.

No, I don't know what it is. That's what I'm asking you!
Perhaps this is a bit premature, coming before ROTS and all the ancillaries come out, but in your personal opinion, what has been the COOLEST Star Wars thing ever made?
It could be a toy, a mask, a costume, a trading card (or the whole box), a movie, a fanfilm, a toothbrush, a box of cereal, a model, a Tshirt...you get the idea...There have been thousands of things made in the image of or with the name Star Wars on it or related to it. In YOUR opinion, what has been the absolutely BEST and COOLEST Star Wars thing ever made and why.
And do you have it? If so, pix please!
If it's an interesting story, tell us how you got it.
Or if you don't, what you'd do to get it.
Maybe YOU made it yourself or it was custom from someone else. It doesn't just have to be an "official" product. Maybe it was an "ode" to Star Wars in another movie or tv show like the Simpsons or something else. Maybe you liked just one action figure...or the entire line. Or maybe you think that an action feature on a toy was the coolest idea ever. Whatever you want! It's YOUR choice.
The possibilities are endless and no answer can possibly be wrong, because YOU get to decide what YOU like the best.
So without further delay, bring it on! Let's hear what YOU think was the absolutely best and coolest Star Wars thing EVER!

President Obama has placed a federal judge in an "inescapable, paradoxical situation" in a case challenging the federal government's authority to hide warrantless wiretapping behind a "state secrets" shield, the judge said at a hearing on December 14.
During a hearing at the Phillip Burton Courthouse in San Francisco that lasted more than three hours (accurately described by Wired as "nuanced and esoteric"), presiding U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White listened to arguments for and against a motion filed by the Obama administration Justice Department calling on the court to dismiss the case, arguing that should the matter proceed, protected state secrets would be disclosed.
In the government's motion to dismiss the class action suit challenging the nearly unlimited scope of the domestic surveillance agency's monitoring of citizens' electronic communication, attorneys for the Obama administration argued that it would use the authority granted it under the Terrorist Surveillance Program only when "absolutely necessary" and that disclosing the information requested would require it to reveal protected state secrets.
The plaintiffs in the case — Jewel v. NSA — are a group of AT&T customers who accuse the NSA, former President George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney among others of illegally using "a shadow network of surveillance devices … to acquire the content of a significant portion of phone calls, emails, instant messages, text messages, web communications, and other communications."
Originally filed in 2008 by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on behalf of the plaintiffs, the suit "is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it."
On January 21, 2010, U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker granted a motion to dismiss filed by the Obama administration. Upon appeal, however, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on December 29, 2011 overturned the lower court's decision and remanded the case to district court for a hearing on the merits.
In July, 2012, EFF moved to have the court declare that the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applies instead of the state secrets privilege; in response, NSA reaffirmed its "state secrets" defense.

...Grover Norquist?
I can google.
I can turn up pages upon pages. There are many opinions, and I have mine, but who is this unelected personna that seems to hold such great sway that he is invited to 'Meet the Press', where he threatens a 'Tea-Party Two?'
A Tea-Party One resulted in DC gridlock. Not the best way to go for the country.
A Tea-Party Two will move us forward?
The election is over.
I did not vote for Obama. I did not vote for Romney.
The Tea-party, if it is a party, did not field a candidate.
The Libertarian Party did field a candidate. He recieved
few votes.
Sooo. I'm curious? We had a democrat who won. We had a Republican who lost. We had a Libertarian who did not... We had a tea party candidate,...sorry what party....tea party...they're not a party.
So who won and who lost?

AbbieTexasAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5OutstandingNovember 5, 2011AbbieTexasAge: 25-34Gender: femaleLast year I received "Praying the Names of Jesus" by this same author and enjoyed it greatly. This is no less enjoyable! This is a book that seems so simple upon first look but it delves deeply into the richness of God's Word exposing the beauty and depth of the original language and the importance of the different names given to God. We are taught the words Lord, God, Almighty, the I Am - yet rarely do we truly understand the depth and meaning of these words or how they reveal the rich and wonderful character of God.
Upon reading a book like this it is hard to view the scriptures in the same context. For all of the sudden you have a more complete knowledge of what the author, under the divine inspiration of God, was trying to convey. It is like stumbling upon a treasure in the midst of what you already thought was good and unearthing more than you expected at each turn. It is like finding a well in the midst of a desert, then discovering it is actually a spring that runs eternally deep and will never run dry.
I really enjoy that only one Name is explored for the entire week. This gives the reader time to absorb the meaning - to make it personal and to experience the true character of who God is. The questions cause the reader to dig deeper and apply the knowledge that has been taught.
Absolutely worth the read - more than once!
Thank you Zondervan for this review copy.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
A groundbreaking international agreement to address the "book famine" for blind and print-disabled people is now set to go into force after passing another key milestone today. The agreement requires countries to allow the reproduction and distribution of accessible ebooks by limiting the scope of copyright restrictions.
The Marrakesh agreement takes aim at the global shortage of ebooks available in suitable formats for the print disabled, which in some regions is as low as 1% of published books. At the time of its completion, only 57 of the 184 member countries of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) had copyright exceptions for this purpose, and inconsistencies between them made sharing books between countries nearly impossible.
The White House has submitted two copyright treaties to the Senate for ratification: the Marrakesh Treaty, which would improve access to copyrighted works for people with visual and print disabilities; and the Beijing Treaty, which could create a new layer of monopoly rights for the creators of audiovisual works. International copyright treaties move slowly, so neither of these is a surprise. For years now, we've encouraged the adoption of Marrakesh and the rejection of Beijing.
It has been obvious for decades that copyright law is ill-matched for the opportunities and challenges created by the Internet. It's been equally obvious, however, that sensible copyright policies face huge practical barriers, in large part because few are willing to challenge the default assumption of copyright law that every time a copy is made the rightsholder's permission is required. That assumption makes no sense in the digital age, but it's hugely difficult to dislodge, especially at the international stage.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) threatens all users' ability to access information and participate in culture and innovation online, but it's especially severe for those with disabilities or who otherwise depend on content in accessible formats. That's because it doubles down on broken policies that were heavily lobbied for by Hollywood and other major publishers that impede the distribution of accessible works.
The TPP would force countries to enact harsher restrictions, and in other cases, undermine future efforts to reform laws that are already actively robbing people's autonomy and control over their own devices, purchased content, and online activities. If you've been following this issue, you'd know that this is due to secrecy of negotiations and the overwhelming influence that the copyright industries wield over trade officials.
In Jewish religious law, there is an offence called lifnei iver (literally, "before the blind"), that prohibits placing stumbling blocks before blind people, deriving from a verse of scripture also accepted by Christians and Muslims. This offense seems so obvious that it hardly requires a scripture verse to call it out. But the authors of the Torah obviously didn't count on the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), who are doing exactly that.

Mickael Peynaud Replaces Karim Bennoui At Krush.25
- Written by Rian Scalia
Krush.25 takes place on December 14 in Tokyo, Japan. Originally, Karim Bennoui, the LiverKick #2 ranked lightweight was tabbed to fight Koya Urabe at 61kg. Bennoui fought this past weekend on November 24 and won a unanimous decision over five rounds against Thomas Adamandopoulos.
Unfortunately, Bennoui seems to have injured his right hand during that fight and has had to withdraw. Taking his place will be fellow Frenchmen, Mickael Peynaud. Peynaud recently lost a close decision to LiverKick #7 ranked lightweight Javier Hernandez on November 17 and should provide a good fight for Koya Urabe.
Peynaud's brother Cedrick, also fought in Krush once, losing a decision to Masaaki Noiri at Krush.18 in May. Both Peynaud brothers can hold their own with pretty much anyone around 61-63kg. Mickael Peynaud has actually beaten Karim Bennoui twice, once in 2009 and once in 2010.

LinkedIn Monitors Massive Data with Couchbase
About LinkedIn
LinkedIn has more than 225 million members around the world, generating massive amounts of user activity –all of which needs to be logged, monitored, and analyzed. Couchbase Server provides the scalability and performance the site engineering team needs to power its metric visualization engine, ultimately delivering 400,000 operations/second on just four server nodes.
[Blog] Leveraging SaltStack to Scale Couchbase
Site reliability engineers at LinkedIn are responsible for making sure LinkedIn's 225 million members have access to the website, 24x7. A big part of this is ongoing monitoring and analysis of the massive amounts of operational data generated by site activity.
LinkedIn has developed an internal data visualization engine, called Ingraphs, to enable the site reliability engineering team to track and optimize LinkedIn's 8+ million unique site metrics. Monitoring the metrics at LinkedIn means handling massive amounts of data: the 8+ million metrics translate to more than 16 million round-robin database (RRD) files, and it takes almost 12 terabytes of data just to write out their metrics. The large number of RRD files makes these metrics difficult to find, especially when you have to ensure the metrics are recent (since RRD files are time-based series, they are constantly being updated with the most recent data).
LinkedIn cached the RRDs to ensure extremely fast lookup. They initially implemented memcached, but found that there were limitations, especially because memcached was deployed using independent instances, resulting in data inconsistency, slow response times, and other inefficiencies.
The LinkedIn team decided to use the storage nodes to update the cache, which meant they needed a single, logical cache. They also needed the cache to be semi-durable, fast, and scalable to handle the new content and metrics that are continually added. LinkedIn replaced its instances of memcached with a Couchbaser Server cluster.
The results have been extremely positive. Today, they can run 400K ops/second with their four-node cluster, and load 16 million entries into Couchbase every 5 minutes.
Watch the video for more details of Couchbase at LinkedIn.
" Couchbase Server is more awesome than a double rainbow. "
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network with 225 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the globe. LinkedIn is publicly held and has a diversified business model with revenues coming from member subscriptions, advertising sales, and talent solutions.

IG report shows Obama WH rewrote Gulf spill report to support moratorium
posted at 9:30 am on November 10, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
When the Obama White House announced its moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP-Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in April, the administration insisted that they followed the recommendations of its panel of experts. This story blew up when the panel of experts insisted that they had not recommended any kind of blanket moratorium, and that one simply wasn't necessary to address the deficiencies at MMS that contributed to the catastrophic fire and spill. A new report from the Inspector General probing the White House response accuses the administration of rewriting key sections of the report in order to falsely give the impression that the panel had made that recommendation:
The White House rewrote crucial sections of an Interior Department report to suggest an independent group of scientists and engineers supported a six-month ban on offshore oil drilling, the Interior inspector general says in a new report.
In the wee hours of the morning of May 27, a staff member to White House energy adviser Carol Browner sent two edited versions of the department report's executive summary back to Interior. The language had been changed to insinuate the seven-member panel of outside experts – who reviewed a draft of various safety recommendations – endorsed the moratorium, according to the IG report obtained by POLITICO.
"The White House edit of the original DOI draft executive summary led to the implication that the moratorium recommendation had been peer-reviewed by the experts," the IG report states, without judgment on whether the change was an intentional attempt to mislead the public.
The White House claimed some vindication, saying that the IG had stopped short of accusing the administration of a deliberate deception, and called it "a misunderstanding." That seems like a bit of a stretch, especially since the supposed mistake didn't exactly occur in a vacuum. Opponents of oil drilling, usually among Obama's allies on the Left, had demanded an end to drilling in the region at least until the investigation into the disaster was completed. The White House version of the report gave Obama political cover to order the six-month moratorium — at least until those involved in its peer review cried foul after the White House publicly used them to defend the action.
But even if it was just a "misunderstanding," an artifact of some guileless editorial tweaking that inadvertently put a paragraph ahead of or behind an important qualifier, it was at the very least incompetence. Why was the staff of energy "adviser" Carol Browner allowed to edit a report issued by the Department of Interior's blue-ribbon panel in the first place? Why did no one review those changes at Interior to determine whether the edits were justified, especially since the IG report indicates that the edits took place because the staffer or Browner didn't think it summarized the findings properly? Why not just ask the report's authors to rewrite it themselves?
This is no mere academic exercise. Thousands of people lost their jobs because of this supposed instance of sloppy editing, and the delay it created in safe exploration and drilling may impact the region for years, as well as America's energy independence.

Let me tyoe this real slowly for you Roger:
A govt employee stated that a partner agnecy has found weapons of mass effect in the the last fiscal year, chemical agents or weponized devices. He could not clarify his remarks as to exactly where the devices were found because he was interrupted by the PAO.
The subsequent CBP statement says only that the CBP has not found nuclear devices or materials at the port of entry. It does not deny that other agencies have found these materials or that CBP may have found these materials at locations other than poe's. It also does not deny that CBP found chemical agents or other devices.
Sometimes what govt agancies don't say is as important as what govt agancies do say.
You should really send in your resume to be Obama's next Press Secretary. You're a natural.

As you can see, I have been around Findagrave for just over 16 years! Seeing all of the changes that have happened over the years has been very exciting. Things we wished for way back when are now a reality. Memorials now look wonderful when they are so complete.
I am still – and plan to always be an
active member
of Findagrave. If that changes I will let the admins know. I do love Findagrave and have every intention of always maintaining my contributions, but I also have a very active "real" life. Since Findagrave is a volunteer website I will work on corrections as time allows. You need only send a correction one time. If some time has passed and you think the correction request may have been lost please send a second request.
I will transfer memorials within Findagrave guidelines only.
How do I get a relative's memorial transferred to me?
First, Determine if you really need the memorial transferred to you for management. Transferring of management should only be requested If you have extensive changes to make to a memorial. You can add photos and suggest corrections without having to request management. Simply having someone in your family tree is not grounds for a management transfer request. With hundreds of thousands of contributors, we have many overlapping family trees and it would be impossible for all contributors to manage their entire tree.
Second, Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations. This would be your siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Duplicates are frowned upon. DO NOT make duplicate memorials.
PLEASE use the
Suggest A Correction
tab for
memorial. Please do not compile an e-mail or "Suggest a Correction" request with several memorial requests. I am not able to search for each memorial. When you use the "Suggest A Correction" link it sends the link to the memorial along with the request. When requesting to add family links, please add the
MEMORIAL NUMBERS and THE NAMES
. Not just the names or just the numbers of the other family members. If you send just the names or just the memorial numbers the corrections will not be made. There is a high probability for error without all of the information being sent.
I will make changes and add biographical information to any of the memorials that I have added to the website.
Please remember, it is "Suggest A Correction", Not "Demand A Correction". Please also remember that every correction you send does not necessarily result in actual changes to the memorial. Sending a correction asking for copied materials such as census records or obits to be added to the memorial will not result in it being added. Please do not send them. If you want that information added, please write the information in paragraph form and send that as your correction.
From the FAQ'S
Can I add an obituary to my interment listing?
You should not copy obituary notices from newspapers to an individual's memorial record unless you have permission from the newspaper to do so or you are the author of the obituary. Some obituaries that were published in 1922 or earlier are now in the public domain. In general, obituaries in newspapers are submitted by the family with assistance from the funeral home. If the obituary is added to the memorial record, it should list the newspaper and date the obit was printed for example "Published in the Hattiesburg American, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Internet Edition, April 11, 2007". Please do not include the names of living or surviving relatives in the biography, unless you have their permission. If you do not have permission to copy an obituary to a memorial, you may put a note stating the name of the newspaper and the date the obituary was published.
Please do NOT add photographs from obituary notices (unless you, personally took the photo), as they are protected by copyright law. Find A Grave reserves the right to remove obituary notices and photographs from memorial records. Similarly, you may NOT scan an obituary and add it as a photograph to a memorial record.
Obituaries for "famous" individuals are usually written by newspaper staff and can not be posted to Find A Grave as the newspaper company owns that copyright.
Please do not include website addresses that may be listed in the obituary as they usually expire within a year after the obituary is printed.
If you need to contact me with other questions about memorials please add the topic of
in the Subject Line. If the Subject of FINDAGRAVE is not listed the email will not be opened. Please add the memorial number on all of your requests. I look forward to working with you to make each memorial as complete as possible! Thank you.

Thank you so much for transferring her to me and to her grandchildren. They are not old enough to do this work alone but hope some day I can get them more involved. Now I have to find all the info I collected on her family to add. It's somewhere in my piles of research. Again thanks so much she was too dear not to be remembered by her grandchildren.

How would I locate a plot K1-091 in the cemetery. The grave is beside a large tree, but looking online I wasn't sure if there was a plot with the graves marked at the cemetery or if you might be able to help or direct me to who might be able to help.

I am wondering how you determined that the gravestone for W.S. Daniel (Find A Grave# 25024438) is in fact for William Stewart Daniel. The dates for birth and death match what I have for the person I have in my tree. Would like to know for the record how you made that connection.

5.4: Bathymetric Evidence for Seafloor Spreading
Let's go to sea!
To understand what came next, we need to go to sea aboard a research vessel. From the photo you can probably tell that a research vessel is no cruise ship. It's a lot smaller, and community spaces are filled with science labs, not swimming pools. The food ranges from barely edible to tasty and filling, but is rarely sumptuous. But with a research vessel we can gather data to explore the seafloor. Let's go on one now!
Life at Sea
We'll go out on the research vessel (R/V in ship-speak) Atlantis, owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the oceanographic community.
The Atlantis has six science labs and storage spaces, precise navigation systems, seafloor-mapping sonar and satellite communications. Most importantly, the ship has all of the heavy equipment necessary to deploy and operate Alvin, the manned research submersible.
The ship has 24 bunks available for scientists, including two for the chief scientists. The majority of these bunks are below waterline, which makes for good sleeping in the daytime. Ship time is really expensive research, so vessels operate all night and so do the scientists. Your "watch", as your time on duty is called, may be 12-4, 4-8 or 8-12 – that's AM and PM. Alternately, if you're on the team doing a lot of diving in Alvin, you may just be up during the day. If you're mostly doing operations that don't involve Alvin, you may just be up at night. For safety reasons, Alvin is deployed and recovered only in daylight.
Alvin is deployed from the stern of the R/V Atlantis.
Scientists come from all over to meet a research ship in a port. An oceanographer these days doesn't need to be near the ocean, he or she just needs to have access to an airport!
Let's begin this cruise in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Atlantis' home port. Our first voyage will be out to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transit time to the research site can take days. By doing this virtually, we don't have to spend days in transit to our research site, and we don't have to get seasick!
As we head to the site, we will run the echo sounder. Let's see what we can find!
Echo Sounding
The people who first mapped the seafloor were aboard military vessels during World War II. As stated in the "Earth as a Planet" concept, echo sounders searching for submarines produced a map of seafloor depths. Depth sounding continued in earnest after the war. Scientists pieced together the ocean depths to produce bathymetric maps of the seafloor. During WWII and in the decade or so later, echo sounders had only one beam, so they just returned a line showing the depth beneath the ship. Later echo sounders sent out multiple beams and could create a bathymetric map of the seafloor below.
We will run a multi-beam echo sounder as we go from Woods Hole out to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Features of the Seafloor
Although they expected an expanse of flat, featureless plains, scientists were shocked to find tremendous features like mountain ranges, rifts, and trenches. This work continues on oceanographic research vessels as they sail across the seas today. The map below is a modern map with data from several decades.
The major features of the ocean basins and their colors on the map in Figure below include:
- mid-ocean ridges: these features rise up high above the deep seafloor as a long chain of mountains, e.g. the light blue gash in middle of Atlantic Ocean.
- rift zones: in the middle of the mid-ocean ridges is a rift zone that is lower in elevation than the mountains surrounding it.
- deep sea trenches: these features are found at the edges of continents or in the sea near chains of active volcanoes, e.g. the very deepest blue, off of western South America.
- abyssal plains: these features are flat areas, although many are dotted with volcanic mountains, e.g. consistent blue off of southeastern South America.
See if you can identify each of these features on the map below.
A modern map of the southeastern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
When they first observed these bathymetric maps, scientists wondered what had formed these features. It turns out that they were crucial for fitting together ideas about seafloor spreading.
Continental Margin
As we have seen, the ocean floor is not flat: mid-ocean ridges, deep sea trenches, and other features all rise sharply above or plunge deeply below the abyssal plains. In fact, Earth's tallest mountain is Mauna Kea volcano, which rises 10,203 m (33,476 ft.)meters) from the Pacific Ocean floor to become one of the volcanic mountains of Hawaii. The deepest canyon is also on the ocean floor, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, 10,916 m (35,814 ft).
The continental margin is the transition from the land to the deep sea or, geologically speaking, from continental crust to oceanic crust. More than one-quarter of the ocean basin is continental margin. (Figure below).
The continental margin is divided into the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise, based on the steepness of the slope.
- Much of what went into developing plate tectonics theory involved work done at sea.
- Echo sounders used to search for enemy submarines during World War II allowed scientists to piece together bathymetric maps of the seafloor. Multi-beam sounders work on research vessels today.
- These maps revealed amazing features like mid—ocean ridges, deep sea trenches, and abyssal plains.

Purim Carnival to benefit children's foundation
The annual Purim Carnival will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 2, in the East Gym on the Binghamton University campus. The carnival is open to the public and features a wide array of game booths, rides, attractions, music and food, including unlimited free humentashen (jelly-filled cookies).
The carnival benefits various charities including the Children of Chernobyl, a non-profit organization that treats sick children still affected by radiation from the 1986 nuclear power plant blast in the Ukraine. This year carnival organizers hope to attract more than 2,000 attendees and generate enough money to help children get airlifted to hospitals for treatment.
A $2 admission fee includes five carnival tickets; $5 admission fee includes all of the rides and attractions.
The carnival is sponsored by the Chabad House Jewish Student Center, and co-sponsored by Hillel-JSU, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, the Jewish Heritage Program, Off Campus College, Sodexho Marriott, Late Nite Binghamton, the Student Association and many of the residential communities.
For more information, call Chabad House at 797-0015.

Support NAFTA!
ESPN and other pundits couldn't have been more wrong when they thought the Marlins would make the playoffs last year. Now what? I guess the A.L. East got a little more interesting with this trade.
this page was recently edited, but when I checked it this morning and the person listed in the caption of the picture was Jeffrey Loria, no joke. I lmao!!!
So they got the county to py for a stadium and then proceed to field a payroll that can probably be covered by the revenue sharing they get from the big market's luxury tax. Straight profit son!
Seriously though, thas ****ing robbery. If I were a marlins fan or a resident of that county, theres no way I could even go to that stadium just out of principle.
rumors are starting to circle around that the MLB may force Loria to sell the Marlins. It's all premature and just rumors, but there is some talk.
If it were to happen, according to satellite, there are 2 names up to buy the team. One is Mark Cuban (who has been desperately trying to buy a team for a few years), and the other is Mickey Arison (who the other owners would prefer)
Dolphins should do the same thing and move to Alabama!

Last call for alcohol.
�We finished in last place. Figure it out,� a defiant Loria said.
Loria emphatically said he isn�t selling the team.
�Absolutely not,� Loria said. �That�s more stupidity.�
Loria took issue with the coverage and suggested selling the team�s veteran stars was the right course of action.
�We have to get better,� Loria said. �We can�t finish in last place. We finished in last place. That�s unacceptable.�http://tracking.si.com/2012/11/14/ma...2_a7&eref=sihpMeanwhile, the team is reportedly also looking to trade outfielder/first baseman Logan Morrison and starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco, according to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post:
The Yankees are interested in the 30-year-old Nolasco, reports Erik Boland of Newsday. One player the team almost certainly will not shop is 23-year-old slugger Giancarlo Stanton, according to MLB.com�s Joe Frisaro.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 5
Just heard that Selig claims to be reviewing the "trade" but already has established his BS wiggle room by saying he's consulted with several baseball men who think the Marlins got good value in return. What a crock.
My new sig: too subtle?

"A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs."
"All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns."
"The one who adapts his policy to the times prospers, and likewise that the one whose policy clashes with the demands of the times does not."
"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."
"We talk of our mastery of nature, which sounds very grand; but the fact is we respectfully adapt ourselves, first, to her ways"


text: Well the web site anyway. I remember seeing the Code 3 Falcon and Slave 1 on there a few months ago and on a whim decided to do a search for Master Replicas today. They carry some of the .45 sabers as well as the EII Anakin saber, and Stormtrooper Blaster (sold out). Really surprising to see them on there. Might work out pretty good for me as I work at a Wal-Mart distribution center and get a 10% discount. Maybe they'll get the new Han Solo blaster. :D

My high school (NY State) required a year of American History and a year of World History. I believe there were state-required "Regents" exams for both if you wanted to graduate with a "Regents Diploma". We also had lots of American History in 8th grade.
College did not require any American history (I was not a history major, so don't know if any was required for them.) All students were required to take "Humanities 101) ... which was actually a history of world religions; one semester packed with volumes of information. Also required at least one year of English (may have been two?)

"My point was (in case you don't have a 5th grader around to explain it to you) how can you reduce wasteful military spending and stop global nuclear proliferation by spending more?
I think that's a fair question, maybe you can avoid it with cute witicisms but the question does remain and is legit.

He was splainin' how you can have it BOTH ways??

For example;
Do the words, "Read my lips, no new taxes." ring a bell?
....and reality came to bear.
How about, a banner proclaiming "Mission accomplished."
....we're still there.
Or, "we will be greeted as liberators."
....that's worked out well!
BTW you're "smart enough". Ya gonna answer Joe's question? Got an alternative?
Yer fren' JD
PS I agree completely with Joe S.'s assessment. I train with people from both national labs, and what I hear is that we are not keeping up with the other members of the nuclear club. You do agree in a stong deterrent position, do you not?
One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
Maybe, the premise of your question is that money spent to keep the NUCLEAR WEAPON STOCKPILE safe, secure, and reliable amounts to "wasteful military spending." If that is correct, your assessment doesn't seem to be accurate to me. Lacking any other viable plan, or a plan put forth by you, there really isn't an alternative on the table that I can see.
Try this again:
We have X nukes in the stockpile...it takes x3 money to support the stockplie. It stands to reason that x3 + Y money is going to be required to ensure the safety, security, reliability, and provide for the research and development to improve the stockpile while other weapons in the stockpile are being drawndown. The R&D would be for better, more efficient weapons AND cheaper, easier ways to dismantle and dispose of the old weapons. The outyear prospect is that we will have X-A nukes in the stockpile that will be safe, secure, and reliable into the future at a cost of x1 money.
The key to this is spending the money (more money) now so that in the outyears there are fewer weapons (and associated infrastructure to support those weapons) in the stockpile that can then be maintained and secured longer for less cost.
Once this part of the answer is understood, the implications for nuclear non-proliferation and counterterrorism are clear, I think.

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin
I don't really believe that Russia & China any longer really want to drop a nuke on the rest of the world ... they've got enough problems already feeding and housing their population; and the West provides the markets to sell their goods to finance the firrst two. Not really sure that North Korea is into self-immolation either in spite of sabre-rattling. When will somebody sit at a summit conference and mention that?
OTOH, there are those wackos, as we've seen, who believe that suicide is a valid end to knocking off those who disagree with your philosphy. The leaders of those people will probably try to find themselves a safe hole to hide in even as they send their underlings to self-destruct.
So, like how many nuclear warheads do we really need? If the "good guys" and the "bad guys" each had 50, that should be quite enough to reduce global civilization to a cinder or an unlivable wasteland. In fact, if both siides get off 10, the other 80 are probably a non-issue. If the "believers" wipe all infidels off the earth, they might just take all the "believers" with them. Who's left to spread Allah's message? Maybe they haven't taken their thinking that far?
The wackos are as great a danger to China, Russia, North Korea, etc. as they are to the U.S. The U.S. is likely thei wackos primary target (for now) since it is the most visible symbol of power in the world. With the U.S. out of the picture, the rest would fall like dominoes.

ITEP Microsimulation Tax Model Overview
The ITEP Microsimulation Tax Model, developed in 1996, is a tool for calculating revenue yield and incidence, by income group, of federal, state and local taxes. The ITEP model is capable of calculating the impact of current tax law and tax change proposals on taxpayers and can also project potential revenue yields of tax law changes. The model is unique in its ability to produce analysis at the federal and state levels and to analyze income, consumption and property based taxes.
In computing its estimates, the ITEP model relies on one of the largest databases of tax returns and supplementary data in existence, encompassing close to three quarters of a million records. To forecast revenues and incidence, the model relies on government or other widely respected economic projections.
The ITEP model's federal tax calculations are very similar to those produced by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Congressional Budget Office (although each of these four models differs in varying degrees as to how the results are presented). The ITEP model, however, adds state-by-state estimating capabilities not found in those government models.
Below is an outline of each area of the ITEP model and what its capabilities are:
The Personal Income Tax Model analyzes the revenue and incidence of current federal and state personal income taxes and amendment options including changes in:
Rates--including special rates on capital gains
Inclusion or exclusion of various types of income
Inclusion or exclusion of all federal and state adjustments
Exemption amounts and a broad variety of exemption types and, if relevant, phase-out methods
Standard deduction amounts and a broad variety of standard deduction types and phase-outs
Itemized deductions and deduction phase-outs
Credits, such as earned-income and child-care credits
The Consumption Tax Model analyzes the revenue yield and incidence of current sales and excise taxes. It also has the capacity to analyze the revenue and incidence implications of a broad range of base and rate changes in general sales taxes, special sales taxes, gasoline excise taxes and tobacco excise taxes. There are more than 250 base items available to amend in the model, reflecting, for example, sales tax base differences among states and possible changes that might occur.
The Property Tax Model analyzes revenue yield and incidence of current state and local property taxes. It can also analyze the revenue and incidence impacts of statewide policy changes in property tax--including the effect of circuit breakers, homestead exemptions, and rate and assessment caps.
The Corporate Income Tax Model analyzes revenue yield and incidence of current corporate income tax law, possible rate changes and certain base changes.
Local Taxes: The model can analyze the statewide revenue and incidence of aggregate local taxes (not, however, broken down by individual localities).
Data Sources
The ITEP model is a "microsimulation model." That is, it works on a very large stratified sample of tax returns and other data, aged to the year being analyzed. This is the same kind of tax model used by the U.S. Treasury Department, the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and the Congressional Budget Office. The ITEP model uses the following micro-data sets and aggregate data:
Micro-Data Sets:
IRS 1988 Individual Public Use Tax File, Level III Sample; IRS Individual Public Use Tax Files; Current Population
Survey; Consumer Expenditure Survey; U.S. Census; American Community Survey.
Partial List of Aggregated Data Sources:
Miscellaneous IRS data; Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation forecasts; other economic data (Moody's Economy.com, Commerce Department, WEFA); state tax department data; data on overall levels of consumption for specific goods (Commerce Department, Census of Services); state specific consumption and consumption tax data (Census data, Government Finances, data from state revenue departments); state specific property tax data (Govt. Finances, data from state revenue departments.); American Housing Survey; Census of Population Housing; and other sources.

A meaningless number unless you compare it to the cost of not-war. I see Saddam's Mamas are raging again. Interesting to see senior women advocating Sharia and subservience. From what I've seen, a Burkah might inprove most of them.

Walter, I am a woman who completely supported going into Iraq ( and Afghanistan, of course)..I figured that even if the WMD had been spirited away by the time the 6 months of warning had passed, at least the massacres/genocide of the Shias would stop and women and gays would get a VOTE..and develop hope for the future of Iraq.
Trust me, a lot of us women understand that we would RATHER live in Iraq today than in Iraq 10 years ago.
Don't let the constant noise of the leftist ladies make you think most women think that way. They give us tough old broads a bad name.

By the way, I would be fascinated to ask these same women if they believe we should go into Darfur and stop the genocide there...most leftists say "yes", without any idea at how schizophrenic their opinions are. It is all in how you frame it.

I suspect they might suggest that those wuss UN members who chickened out on Kuwait/Iraq might share the burden of peaemaking elsewhere in the world the way the UN was supposed to work. Where are the nations of the religion of peace when there is need on their own continent? What? They are the Janjaweeds? Who'da thunk it.
a resident of Midtown

Perhaps, like their predecessors who offered to shield Saddam, these Grannies could go to Darfur and rage against the Janjaweed. Like the Grannies, geese are noisy and irritating but at least they eat bugs.

NVIDIA Goes for AMD's Jugular, Announces Aggressive Price Cuts for GeForce GTX 780 and 770
With the GeForce GTX 780 Ti joining the lineup, NVIDIA says the new suggested e-tail price for the non-Ti model will be $499. The GeForce GTX 780 sells today for around $650 and up, and by dropping the price all the way down to $499, it will be $50 cheaper than AMD's recently announced Radeon R9 290X.
If that's too rich for your blood, NVIDIA also set a new suggested e-tail price of $329 for the the GeForce GTX 770. The cheapest we've seen it selling for currently is around $385.
Officially, these price cuts are to make room for new cards in NVIDIA's lineup, and specifically the GeForce GTX 780 Ti. Unofficially, however, we have no doubt this is NVIDIA's way of stealing thunder from AMD's new R7 and R9 Series launch, and appealing to gamers' wallets is a great way to do that.
We're told the prices will go into effect tomorrow morning, October 29th.

A strange new family of algorithms probes the boundary between easy and hard problems
Brian Hayes
Why are some computational problems so hard and others easy? This may sound like a childish, whining question, to be dismissed with a shrug or a wisecrack, but if you dress it up in the fancy jargon of computational complexity theory, it becomes quite a serious and grownup question: Is P equal to NP? An answer—accompanied by a proof—will get you a million bucks from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
I'll return in a moment to P and NP, but first an example, which offers a glimpse of the mystery lurking beneath the surface of hard and easy problems. Consider a mathematical graph, a collection of vertices (represented by dots) and edges (lines that connect the dots). Here's a nicely symmetrical example:
Is it possible to construct a path that traverses each edge exactly once and returns to the starting point? For any graph with a finite number of edges, we could answer such a question by brute force: Simply list all possible paths and check to see whether any of them meet the stated conditions. But there's a better way. In 1736 Leonhard Euler proved that the desired path (now called an Eulerian circuit) exists if and only if every vertex is the end point of an even number of edges. We can check whether a graph has this property without any laborious enumeration of pathways.
Now take the same graph and ask a slightly different question: Is there a circuit that passes through every vertex exactly once? This problem was posed in 1858 by William Rowan Hamilton, and the path is called a Hamiltonian circuit. Again we can get the answer by brute force. But in this case there is no trick like Euler's; no one knows any method that gives the correct answer for all graphs and does so substantially quicker than exhaustive search. Superficially, the two problems look almost identical, but Hamilton's version is far harder. Why? Is it because no shortcut solution exists, or have we not yet been clever enough to find one?
Most computer scientists and mathematicians believe that Hamilton's problem really is harder, and no shortcut algorithm will ever be found—but that's just a conjecture, supported by experience and intuition but not by proof. Contrarians argue that we've hardly begun to explore the space of all possible algorithms, and new problem-solving techniques could turn up at any time. Before 1736, the Eulerian-circuit problem also looked hard.
What prompts me to write on this theme is a new and wholly unexpected family of algorithms that provide efficient methods for several problems that previously had only brute-force solutions. The algorithms were invented by Leslie G. Valiant of Harvard University, with extensive further contributions by Jin-Yi Cai of the University of Wisconsin. Valiant named the methods "holographic algorithms," but he also refers to them as "accidental algorithms," emphasizing their capricious, rabbit-from-the-hat quality; they seem to pluck answers from a tangle of unlikely coincidences and cancellations. I am reminded of the famous Sidney Harris cartoon in which a long series of equations on a blackboard hinges on the notation "Then a miracle occurs."

Re: Prayers Needed for Dad
Rena, Hospice does not mean the end but it is wonderful how they willl ease things up for Mom and make things so much more comfortable for Dad. I had a Hospital bed set up for Teddy in the bright and airy living room where the big TV was. After the first day he said he was glad we did it. I am glad you are going to visit and it might help to set this up when you are there for their suppport. The ONC will put in a call and Hospice usually comes out the next day to interview and then they set up everything as Dad wants it. Best of luck.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.
