Political experts know the most important factor in a successful race for governor is the campaign song.
Democrat John Baldacci wouldn't occupy the Blaine House today if he hadn't campaigned eight years ago to the reggae beat of "Johnny Too Bad." (How were we to know he meant that literally?)
It also didn't hurt Baldacci's poll numbers when his moderate Republican opponent, Peter Cianchette, made the disastrous choice of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle With You."
In 2006, Baldacci achieved a modest re-election victory to the strains of Eric Idle's "It Could Always Be Worse." GOP opponent Chandler Woodcock answered critics who labeled him a religious extremist by selecting the George Jones and Tammy Wynette duet "God's Gonna Get 'Cha (For That)."
This year, with 11 remaining gubernatorial primary candidates (when Democrat John Richardson dropped out last week over allegations aides had forged names to gain public campaign financing, his theme song was switched from The Trammps' "Trusting Heart" — as if anyone could trust a guy who still digs disco — to Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money"), it's more critical than ever to make the right musical choices. It's one thing for independents like Alex Hammer to go with Green Day's "American Idiot," but that won't do for a serious contender.
Democrat Patrick McGowan tried to commission an original tune, but it turns out nothing rhymes with McGowan. So, he appropriated a folk song by Mark Miller and Wayne Hendsbee called "Back in Maine," which contains every conceivable cliché about the state ("pine trees and chickadees," "lumberjacks and fishermen," "Ferris wheels, potato fields"). It also clumps along at a pace that's unlikely to inspire a sprint to the ballot box.
McGowan needs something with some lilt, something that evokes his heritage. Such as any up-tempo cut on the Pogues album Rum Sodomy & the Lash.
A good campaign song can be used to deflect criticism by showing the candidate has a sense of humor. Republican Les Otten would have an easier time dealing with allegations about the collapse of his heavily leveraged ski empire if his entrances were preceded by 10cc's "Wall Street Shuffle."
GOP rival Bruce Poliquin stood on a box to disguise his lack of stature in his TV spot with those burly construction workers. That would have been unnecessary if he used the Randy Newman song "Short People."
Republican Matt Jacobson, a former railroad executive, could laugh off his status as an also-ran if he cranked up the old Crazy Horse cut "Gone Dead Train."
Democrat Steve Rowe often causes audiences to doze off. Time to boost the volume on Natalie Merchant's Leave Your Sleep.
Libby Mitchell, another Dem hopeful, never lost her native South Carolina drawl, but who'll notice if she's blasting Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken."
GOP contender Peter Mills is acknowledged as the smartest man in the world, but voters of modest intelligence find that intimidating. Reassure them with Jimmy Buffett's "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus." He wasn't going to get the religious right's vote, anyway.
Republican Paul LePage's debt-ridden campaign can still get his populist message out by playing the fiscal conservative's national anthem: "Busted" by Johnny Cash. LePage, the general manager of Marden's, can also show his softer side by slipping in Nanci Griffith's "Love at the Five and Dime."

This will be very handy 6/1/2013
I ordered this for my husband's camper project, thinking it would be handy in case of power outage or forgotten batteries, but I think I may need to order another and keep one around the house. It's much brighter than I expected, and we decided last night to see how long a charge would last: Around 7:30 last night, we gave it a crank and turned it on bright. It's currently 1:00 pm, and the light is dim, but still on! It doesn't appear to be the most durably-made product ever, but for the price? I think it's great. (Even if the kids destroy it in short order, it will have paid for itself by not requiring replacement batteries.)

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The striper population crash that happened after the halycon commercial net fishery days of the 60's and early 70's, which took 20 years for the striper population to rebound from is nothing compared to what will happen when the forage fish are gone. When the forage fish are severely depleted, the stipers will have nothing to feed on. Yes, the striper population won't make a dramatic drop in numbers in any given year; however, their numbers will decrease each and every year as the forage fish base is depleted.
Then there is the problems of sea bed pollution that have been documented with the salmon farming operations (of course the salmon farmers claim that they produce "very little pollution"). Every place where salmon farming has been established, the population of native anadromous fish has decreased, some very dramatically. Do you really want to have the combination of losing the forage fish and the pollution or parasite problems (such as the sea lice that the salmon farmers claim is "overblown by the conservationist") to start their insidious work on the east coast stripers?
feed pellets
I see in the news about the farm raised, pellet fed salmon being a health hazzard. Feed being the PCB's and whatever they are fed. What about trout? Just about all the trout that are raised on pellets, at least here in New England. All the more reasons for catch and release.:eyecrazy:
Juro and all New Englanders,
I only touched the surface of the problems we are about to face.
Many of you are well aware of the anti publicity over the last week of the Salmon Farm industry on national tv news networks.
That is not enough though and I hope all of you who belong to fishing clubs and conservation groups will find the time to read up on exactly what is going on in this industry. Get yours and other groups to unite against this horror show that is about to begin. Once it gets started and a foot in the door it will be impossible to stop as we have found out here in the NW and in BC. I'm sure it is the same for Maine and eastern Canada, the government commits and will not back down. Stop it before they commit to the Cod Farm Industry.
It is so sad that the way we eat food in this day and age. Over the last 20 years things have changed the way food is produced and how it is brought to us. The pollution and waste is many times greater than ever before. One out of season strawberry brought up from Chile holds 5 caleries for you to consume. To get that one strawberry to market in New England takes 497 caleries of energy. In nature that would mean certain death from starvation as one must take in as many calories as one burns to survive. We are killing the earth off with the way we consume food in this world of industrial farming. The world is using more calories than it produces, food has become the major factor in this situation.
I hope you all give this some thought not only for your love of fishing and your fine New England waters but because what is about to happen where you live is in full scale operation throughout the world and I'm not sure many of us realize how serious this is.
Please take the time to think about it and please get involved.
Scary thoughts indeed. Cod and haddock have already been depleted, as you know stripers were fished to endangered status just recently. Menhaden are already being harvested in huge quantities for processing into feed and the impact on the gamefish population is tremendous.
Atlantic salmon farms are already on the increase up and down the coast, while american rivers have long been void of their once magnificent salmon runs.
Lucky for us the striper is a crafty and opportunistic predator and will likely adapt where possible, but if the fisheries turn to harvesting the forage species (sand eels, herring, squid, menhaden, mackeral, etc) for fertilizers, animal feed and to meet aquacultural feed demands of the modern fish farming craze our friends with stripes are in big trouble.
Interesting hypothesis OC. I know the evidence certainly exists as to the impact of aquaculture on both atlantic and pacific salmon
stocks. Does the research point to similar impacts on stripers? If so, I would agree an early grassroots oposition is warranted. Of course, given the political clout and dollars the fiwsh farms wield, it may all be in vane.
striper fishermen beware!
What are all the striper fishermen going to do if the Cod farms catch hold? What if there are many farms in your New England waters do you think that will have an effect on your fishing?
Just a small scenario here. The farms take hold throughout New England. The food taken from the ocean to feed these cod are anywhere between 5 and 11 times the volume that wild fish would eat over the same time that it took to raise the farmed cod and get them to market. Now economics says the feed would come from close by, most likely from the mid atlantic states where there has been an abundance of pogies and herring in past years. Plus there is no restrictions as far as I know on the commercial harvest of forage fish. These fish are mined, yes mined to record lows and then what? Yes one of the main bait fish in a stripers life in the area where it spends much of it's life is all but gone. By now the Cod farms are doing just great, they have been in operation for about 5 years. The industry is thinking about harvesting local sand eels because Mid Atlantic poggies are almost gone so they start the process of lobby to State and federal pols. But state and federal pols are being told by the biologists that the number of sand ells and other lower food chain creatures are begining to disapear at an alarming rate already. Reason! Because the Cod farms are creating so much pollution in the many bays throughout New England that the low food chain creatures such as plankton do not exist anymore or in just small areas. Take one look at what the Bay of Fundy Salmon farms did up there. The bottom of the bay has become lifeless and remember that Cod can create up to 50% more pollution and most likely be able to have many more fish in each pen than the salmon farms can put in their pens. But millions of dollars have been spent to get these great gifts to the world started. Money is coming into the pol's coffers from the Farmers. They are not going to let these farms just die off. They are going to let harvest what ever fish in the mid food chain they can. But hey your sand eel population is already in trouble because their summer feeding area has little plankton left from the polution. Sand eels are not showing up on your flats and upper food chain fish can not follow something that does not exist can they. But who cares there were not many stripers left anyway because of what was happening in the Mid Atlantic States.
You boys better start doing something about this now not tomorrow. This is going to happen and soon. The Salmon and shrimp industrial farming caught most of us by surprise and now we are in a fine mess. Remember the great gift of the Nuke power plants we were promised in school science class in the late 50's and early 60's? Well gentlemen here we go again. DON'T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE!

I think you need to find out for certain what sort of sensor you have and what sort of signal it outputs. Is it definitely a Hall effect sensor? I would have thought that an MVR sensor was more likely.
how can i test to see if it is a mvr sensor?
a lot of the cars had a hall sensor looking at a steel trigger wheel for the engine rpm, so i thought these might be the same
so i will be easier to put some hall sensor on it like in link then?
ahh yes there is a pos and neg symbol just above the pins on the sensor that would explain why they are there so how do i intergrate that with the arduino?trying to find out information about it is near enough impossible ans manufacturers keep that information to themselves

Start Your Monday Off Right: Watch This Highlight
- Written by Dave Walsh
Initially I was going to post a highlight reel that went up on Mixfight of ten of the top K-1 knockouts in history, and while that is good in theory, if you are coming to LiverKick.com on a regular basis, this is stuff that you should already have in your pocket somewhere. If not, well, have at it. Our good friend Jill puts together some rather awesome highlight packages once in a while, and on occasion when I actually check my Tumblr account I see them and think that the world needs to see them.
All Japan Kickboxing Federation had a very rich history until its untimely death in 2009, while still making sure to keep us happy by splintering off into the KRUSH events that we know and love today. AJKF gave us a lot of top Japanese stars, so why not reflect on it?

According to more than one news report, the proposed Mandel Project in Shorewood, will not be profitable as designed and presented.
It was also reported that Funding from Shorewood of up to $10 Million, is being requested.
There has been a lot of funding by Shorewood for various projects over the past few years, and to learn that a project that would not be profitable might be the recipient of Public Financing by Shorewood, certainly brings a number of questions to mind.
I wrote an e mail (copy following) to all the Village Board Trustees, the Trustee Elect, and the Village Board President.
I am very happy to report that President Guy Johnson, and Trustee Hanewall responded to my inquiry, in great detail. I thank them for their responses, and helping to keep the Public informed.
Copies of their responses are below --- and I hope that they can be a great starting point for a public discussion on this particular project, and Village Financing over all.
Hopefully many of you who read this blog will respond with your opinions, and possibly questions for Mr Johnson and Mr Hanewall, as well as the other Trustees.
The workings of the Shorewood CDA are a mystery to many of us in Shorewood, and hopefully this discourse will help to educate Shorewood's residents, and give them the knowledge needed to interact with our Village Officials.
Dear President, Trustee(s), and Trustee Elect
According the the posting below by Mr Daykin of the Journal Sentinel, Shorewood is being asked to provide funding for a project that the developer is saying WILL NOT PAY FOR ITSELF !!
Would you please respond if:
1) You have been made aware that the project in Not Profitable as proposed?
2) You will vote for providing the Financing Requested from the Village?
Thank You

RE: Shorewood asks for Financing for Project
Saturday, April 30, 2011 7:49 AM
"Trustee Hanewall" <email@example.com>
Hi Dave,
As with so many "I gotcha" moments, the line that you referenced is out of context when trying to be used to "prove" what a waste of money the proposed project is. The whole purpose of TID financing is to provide an incentive to a private enterprise so that they will do something that will otherwise not be done. If I am not mistaken, I believe the state law REQUIRES that the governmental body show that if not for the TID financing that the project would not move forward.
Without the lower cost loans that TIF can offer, these projects would cost too much, and the developer would not make money. Consequently, the project would not happen. So if the Village wants a significant project, then we use the TID mechanism to help it happen. This involvement gives us two main pieces of control that we otherwise would not have. Because we have a financial stake, the Village is able to make certain design demands that a wholly privately funded project would not be subject to. It also allows the Village to demand a project of a certain final dollar value. So rather than perhaps being stuck with a low valued property, we can help create a much higher valued property which in the end adds to the tax base.
With the understanding that TID financing has had a demonstrated success in providing an increased tax base to the Village while allowing the Village to direct the type of development that most seem to appreciate (e.g., Edgewood Place, the Cornerstone, etc.), and with the understanding that any grants to developers are covered within the overall TID financial plan (i.e. that the system is working according to law and its intended purpose), then why wouldn't someone support such projects? If we choose not to do these, then we have no other means to generate more tax dollars other than to raise the tax rate on everyone. Furthermore, we must settle for whatever a land ower chooses to do with their property. I for one am completely comfortable with using TIF to make improvements to the Village.
To your two questions, yes, I was/am aware of the fact that the developer needs the Village's support. As I've just said above, that's the whole reason for being of the TID. And I cannot tell you if I will ultimately vote in favor of the proposed project, because we are still in the middle of the review process. The Board does not just hear one presentation, and then makes a decision. This project has been under public review for months and will continue for several more before we have all the information we need to vote.
I realize that the purpose of TIDs and the rules that govern them are not immediately apparent to most people. And though I may be wrong - and I am sorry if this is not the case - I suspect that what you are really trying to get at is "why is the Village engaging in corporate welfare?" If that's really your question, and if I haven't adequately answered it above, then I would turn the question back on you because it is a good question. Why would we hand out money like this? The fact is that the Board and CDA members are all tax payers too, and our gain is no different than any other resident. The only reason that we agree to TIF grants is because through a long vetting process, we believe this is the best for the residents of the Village.
Again, I am sorry if this is not one of your concerns, but in most of the writings about Village supported projects, more often than not, the tone suggests that the Village just loves to give money to our friends to make rich guys richer. Does that really make any sense? We're not the yahoos in Madison and DC that depend on money from these folks to keep us in power until we die. It would be nice if once in a while, that people recognized that Village government is not run by ignorant, selfish fools. There will always be issues that we do not all agree upon, and times when we just make mistakes, but I would hope that people could give us the benefit of the doubt that these times are not due to stupidity or lack or forethought.
Shorewood asks for Financing for Project
Saturday, April 30, 2011 4:53 PM
From: "Guy Johnson"
To: David Tatarowitz
Hi David:
(I'm sending this from my personal email account because my send-function on my village account didn't work just now.)
Thanks for your email.
Tax incremental financing is a tool we can use to control the pace and type of redevelopment that fits into the desires of the master plan for our business district.
This financing tool allows us to invest in infrastructure and other improvements in conjunction with the project, and pay for these investments by capturing property tax revenue from the newly developed property. An area is identified (the tax incremental district, or TID) as appropriate for a certain type of development, and projects are identified to encourage and facilitate the desired development. Then as property values rise, the property tax paid on that private development is used by the municipality to pay for the projects. The tax paid to the schools, county and technical college district (the overlying taxing jurisdictions) is also sent to the municipality to pay for the improvements. After the costs of the projects are paid off, the TID is closed and the value of all the new development gets shared by the municipality, schools, county and technical college as it does for other property.
The decision criteria for approving tax incremental financing for this kind of a project are put forth in s. 66.1105 (4m)(c) of Wisconsin statutes. They are:
1. whether the development expected in the TID would occur without the use of TIF,
2. whether the economic benefits of the TID, as measured by increased employment, business and personal income and property value, are insufficient to compensate for the cost of the improvements, and
3. whether the benefits of the proposal outweigh the anticipated tax increments to be paid by the owners of property in the overlying taxing districts.
These criteria are currently being thoroughly vetted to determine if the project can be approved.
You might want to look over the following TIF manual from the Wisconsin Dept. of Revenue for more clarification: http://www.revenue.wi.gov/pubs/slf/tif/cvmanual.html

Help! Is Tetanus Toxoid safe for the baby I'm carrying?
My OB-GYN gave me a Tetanus Toxoid shot. I was hesitant to have it but she said it's like a 'protein' for the baby. Is it true? Will it not harm the baby inside? I'm scared my baby might have defects. Enlighten me.
21st April 2012 02:48 PM #2
Hello Mediea,
According to the World Health Organization, the tetanus toxoid injection should be given to pregnant women when the benefits outweigh the risks. The immunization is passed to the baby, protecting them from neonatal infection.
I do not know what the doctor meant about it being like a "protein" but it seems to be a relatively common practice in many parts of the world to give women this booster during pregnancy. I would not worry too much about the baby, odds are that he or she will be just fine. Clearly your OB thought you or baby were at risk for tetanus and recommended the shot for protection.

Rory McIlroy played some magnificent golf this weekend and captured his fourth major win with the 2014 PGA Championship.
While the most talked about pairing of the day was between Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler, Rory quietly stuck around before making his move on the back nine. Before anyone knew it, McIlroy was 16 under going into 18, good enough for a two stroke lead.
Because of a midday rain delay, the starting times for the pairs of Mickelson/Fowler and McIlroy/Weisberger were pushed back to after 4pm ET. This made things dicey toward the end as it seemed all golfers were rushing themselves to beat nightfall.
On the 18th, McIlroy and Wiesberger played up with Mickelson and Fowler. They played the hole almost as if they were a foursome.

— Bill Michaels (@Bill_Michaels) August 11, 2014
It came down to McIlroy having to two-putt to win the title in the pitch dark. While he had the option to quit and continue the next day, he showed guts and nerves of steel as he put the first putt within a foot and sunk the second putt to take home his fourth major.
These are back-to-back majors for McIlroy after he won the British Open last month.

Pandemic influenza (flu) is a worldwide flu outbreak that occurs every few decades. Infection with the influenza virus will spread rapidly to affect most countries and regions around the world. Pandemic flu is likely to cause the same symptoms as ordinary flu but the symptoms may be more severe because nobody will have immunity or protection against that particular virus. A high number of persons may likely become ill. Because pandemic flu is much more serious than "ordinary" flu, the California Department of Public Health is planning to be able to better respond to a worst case scenario event if it should occur.

Tesla Motors to Announce New Dealer Service, Supercharger Updates
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Elon Musk
(Source: blogcdn.com)
Tesla will make the announcements next week
Tesla Motors plans to
reveal some news
about its updated dealer service and the company's Supercharger network next week.
While the details of these announcements are unclear right now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made it clear that service will be completely revamped and made a top priority.
"I'm an engineer, so service is not something that I naturally do," Musk said. "But it's the right thing for the company and I think we have the opportunity to re-engineer service."
As for the Superchargers, it's likely that the company will be adding more in certain areas as more Model S' are hitting the roads (and customers would enjoy driving longer distances knowing that Superchargers are plentiful along the way).
Tesla made another announcement earlier this week pertaining to financing. The automaker is partnering with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank to offer customers more financing options for Tesla's vehicles.
Tesla has had a pleasant 2013 so far, as the company recently announced that it is shipping over 500 Model S EVs weekly.
It also reported that
the company is now profitable
thanks to the Model S exceeding sales targets. Tesla Model S sales reached 4,750, which topped the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter.
Tesla recently shared another bit of Model S news, this time concerning the battery. The automaker decided not to produce the 40 kWh battery pack because only 5 percent of customers chose that option. Instead, customers will receive a 60 kWh pack.
The only small hiccup in Tesla's schedule is the delay to production of
the Model X
. Tesla had hoped to begin production of the vehicle this year, but those plans have been put off until late 2014 (meaning deliveries will likely be pushed to 2015).
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Just curious as to the direction of spin from the union supporters as to the "real" reasons why Hostess asked for permission to file bankruptcy. I'm sure none of the fault or blame should be placed on the unions or their demands!

Here's a wealth of information.....It seems the company's economic woes began about 8 years ago and have continued to plague them over the years.
While I think the Union probably played a part in the decision to file bankruptcy yesterday (for the second time in less than a decade), I have to ask why the CEO, who was at the helm when things went south was sent on his way with nearly $3 million in compensation and the executives that remained were given salary increases of up to 80%. It seems a little irresponsible when the company is in such poor shape.
I know Unions are unpopular with most of the people posting here, but it seems to me that there is a lot more to this situation than workers striking to hold onto benefits that were negotiated for many years ago.-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
The real question here is how can ANY company continue to pay retired or laid off workers 80 + % or their paycheck indefinitely and still survive long term. Auto companies should be proof of the pudding. US auto companies could not compete with foreign owned manufacturers on cost or quality. Look at the compensation packages of southern "foreign" plants vs OH or MI or other union midwest plants. The "foreign" companies deal more astutely with the unions right from the get go. This works for/against any manufacturer. Then check out the sweetheart deal union medical plans got in O care. The old days of union corruption is not behind us it simply put on expensive suits and became political instead of using ballbats for persuasion.

This is what I was able to find.
Further, it would seem that the the pension fund was well funded as the company emerged from the first bankruptcy (2009).
Miscellaneous Fund Statistics as of 09/30/2009 Active Members 25,564
Pensioners & Beneficiaries 30,901
Fund Assets (9/30/09) $2.6 billion

Annual Contributions $224 million

The machinery necessary to do the packaging alone is quite a sight - it is also something created by design engineers for the equipment manufacturers who are in my mind the uinderpaid folks - they made it all possible.

Something we can agree on. The thing I really liked about working at Siemens was that they put their good engineers into senior positions and pay them like top managers. Their philosophy is, why should a GOOD engineer feel the need to go and be a POOR manager in order to draw a top salary?

Dr. Frank's gewurztraminer and aging Finger Lakes Whites
Fred Frank, the president of Dr. Frank's Vinifera Wine Cellars, has taken a lead in showing the ageability of Finger Lakes wines. Following up on similar vertical tastings of riesling and rkatsiteli, Dr. Frank's raided the library for older gewurztraminer earlier this month.
I was interested in seeing what happened to the floral notes and often explosive tropical flavors over time.
We started with the 1986 and it was outstanding. Spoiler, it was my favorite, a golden wine with dried apricot, honey mint and green tea character. It reminded me of the aged wines of Savennières, easy to appreciate both as a thinking wine and tasting wine. It was delicious.
Jump ahead five years, to the warm growing season of 1991. The wine shows beeswax, lemon meringue and apple butter.
They pulled out 1994 to show us what a difficult year is like, or as winemaker Mark Veraguth called it, "a typical New York year," one of rain and cool temperatures. Interestingly the wine shows Germanic petrol notes, old cough drop, and a pleasant synthetic finish.
The 2005, now 8 years old, tasted very much like a contemporary commercial wine with smells of honeysuckle and melon with citrus and honeydew on the palate and cleansing acidity. This is still very youthful.
The 2008 was just about ideal with restrained tropical fruit, minerality and closing with a tartness.
We enjoyed lunch catered by Pure Grille & Curry from Geneva. Gewurztraminer has long been a spicy food favorite and something I take to Thai and Indian BYOBs. The chef later admitted to me he toned down the spice for the mixed audience.
Fred Frank's grandfather was a pioneer and Fred is continuing that tradition by pulling out these old whites.
The Finger Lakes and other regions in the east are cooler, particularly at night. That allows the grapes to develop solid acids. Of all the things in wine, acid, not tannins or anything else, is the most important in determining ageabily.
Not many people think about this. Few wineries have the luxury of cellaring so much wine. It's tied up capital and a gamble that doesn't always pay off. A wine may go past peak then you lose everything. Dr. Frank's has a library going back to 1962, older than most California wineries.
Find a dry, eastern white you like, buy a case and after five years try a bottle and see what happens. Your future self will thank you.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Native vs. Non-native
Luis -
As usual a thought out and interesting discussion. I will definitely get the issue and read the article.
One preliminary thought before I read it - with all due respect to Schullery a native species can not be "restored", only preserved.
stay warm,
Native vs. Non-native
Considering the subject of native vs non-native species we discussed recently, I would encourage all of you to get a hold of the Jan/Feb 2001 issue of Fly Rod & Reel and read Paul Schullery's piece titled "Because They Belong There". Rather than just looking at it from the point of view of an angler's changing sensibilities and his own "zealotry" as he describes it, Schullery has pulled back to try and grasp the big picture with regards to this hot issue. He weighs the views of other non-angling groups who tend to coincide with our views of restoring native species but likely, for entirely different reasons. He argues that understanding what is behind this tide of changes in people's sentiments is the key to finding out what's in it for us as fly fishers. A well thought out and well written piece, something we don't see all that often in fly fishing mags theses days.
This whole issue reminds me of a debate that raged on in the Adirondacks a while back. The NY Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) decided to re-introduce "Heritage" strain brook trout to parts of its native Adirondack range. In order to do so, the lakes targeted for re-introduction were first treated with rotenone to eliminate "undersirable" species which could possibly be a hinderance to the viability of a sustainable population of brook trout. Some groups argued that this poisoning of the waters eliminated bi-valves and other organisms present in those lakes, and that it would be folly to do so considering that we do not really have any idea of what the impact of removing these species for good, would be, in the larger scheme of things.
Weighty issues to think about on this snowy day in Montreal.

Do you have OnStar? It can read email, you know. That got me thinking...
My computer has a modem and so can act as an answering machine. Thanks to Microsoft, said PC also has a voice recognition API. So, it can record a message and convert it to text, text that can be emailed and read aloud by OnStar.
Something is lost in the translation, and I become bored.
Free language translation services abound on the 'net. So now OnStar reads french, poorly. :)
Yes, I have a job.
No, voice technology isn't practical. Not yet.

"No Discharge Zone" Requirements and Regulations
A "No Discharge Zone" is a designated body of water that prohibits the discharge of treated and untreated boat sewage. Federal Law prohibits the discharge of untreated sewage from vessels within all navigable waters of the U. S., which include territorial seas within three miles of shore. Boats with Type I and Type II Marine Sanitation Devices may discharge treated effluent in coastal waters UNLESS they are in a "No Discharge Zone". Type III marine sanitation devise is the only type that can be used legally in a "No Discharge Zone".
Under the Clean Water Act, states may petition, by a written application for a "No Discharge Zone" designation from the U. S. EPA Regional Administrator under Sections 312 (f)(3), 312 (f)(4)(A), or 312 (f)(4)(B) of the Clean Water Act. The three sections of the Clean Water Act have different criteria. Criteria (f)(3); the administrator determines that there are adequate and reasonably available facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage. Criteria (f)(4)(A); the administrator determines that protection and enhancement of the specified waters requires prohibition. Criteria (f)(4)(B) is the establishment of a drinking water intake zone. EPA New England will usually look at criteria (f)(3) in the approval of a "No Discharge Zone".
In reviewing a "No Discharge Zone" application, there are seven requirements under 40 Code of Federal Regulations §140.4(a) pursuant to section 312 (f)(3) of the regulations:
- A certification that the protection and enhancement of the waters described in the petition require greater environmental protection than the applicable Federal standards;
- A map showing the location of commercial and recreational pumpout facilities;
- A description of the location of pumpout facilities within waters designated for a "No Discharge Zone";
- The general schedule of operating hours of the pumpout facilities;
- The draught requirements on the vessels that may be excluded because of insufficient water depth adjacent to the facility;
- Information indication the treatment of waste from such pumpout facilities is in conformance with Federal law; and
- Information on vessel population and vessel usage of the subject waters.
The EPA reviews these seven requirements in addition to the type of outreach campaign planned for mariners. The outreach campaign may include distribution of written material, visual material, and access to websites. The information may inform the public as to where the pumpout facilities are located, how to use them, and who to call for assistance. The information may be distributed to marinas, yacht clubs, boating associations, local governments, visitors, and other interested organizations. In addition an enforcement strategy should be in place. This might include what agencies would enforce and type of enforcement, should it be needed.
Sewage wastes discharged from boats may degrade water quality by introducing microorganisms, nutrients, and chemical products into the marine environment. Microorganisms may introduce diseases like hepatitis to people in contact with the water, and can contaminate shellfish beds. Nutrients use oxygen in the water and as a result, depressing oxygen levels as the sewage decays. Oxygen depletion or Hypoxia can stress fish and other aquatic animals. Chemical products can be toxic to marine and estuarine life and could pose a problem in areas where boats congregate and where there is little tidal flushing. Complying with vessel sewage discharge laws and regulations, and using pumpout facilities, are necessary step to protect public health, water quality, and the marine environment.
Vessels operating in United States freshwater lakes, reservoirs, other fresh water impoundments that have no ingress or egress and United States rivers that are not capable of navigation by interstate vessel traffic, which have a Marine Sanitation Devices on board, must prevent the discharge of treated and untreated sewage into these waters. Lakes and rivers of the US that do not drain to the sea must use a US Coast Guard certified Type III Marine Sanitation Device.

Environmental health practitioners use various tools to track, research, and communicate information about environmental hazards, exposures, and health effects. Some examples include: epidemiologic methods, like ecologic studies; software applications, like Geographic Information Systems; or biomonitoring, which measures levels of environmental contaminants in human tissue.
A number of programs within the California Department of Public Health develop or use Environmental Health Tools. These include the California Biomonitoring Program, the California Environmental Health Tracking Program, the Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management, the Environmental Health Investigations Branch, the Occupational Health Branch, and the Office of Health Information and Research.

North African flavors marinate tender lamb that you grill and serve with hot cooked couscous, the wheat-grain semolina served as a grain side dish in this part of the world.
Confused about couscous? It's both a name for wheat-grain semolina, appearing in many supermarkets today as simply couscous, and for a spicy chicken-vegetable stew served with cooked semolina that's popular throughout North Africa.
To add authenticity to the red pepper sauce you use in this recipe, look in Middle Eastern markets for fiery hot harissa sauce, a red pepper sauce from Tunisia. It's served with traditional couscous and would be perfect with the flavors in this recipe.

This is NOT a political endorsement of any kind.
I admit it, I watch FOX news regularly.
One show I watched that really caught my attention was "Huckabee."
This is a decent man.
He is fair, in his interviews and mini debates he is respectfull and allows his opponent a fair chance to say their peice.
I usually feel pretty good after I watch his show.
Have any of you seen it??

It's starts this Saturday! Wahoo
So we'll be counting hours instead of days.
The turkeys are abundant and the weather looks good for Saturday. Although after long dry period it would be hard not like some rain. The trees and brush are defoliating so we'll be able to call the turkeys by just stepping forward like a turkey.
What is it you most forward to about opening morning? besides the it's finally here feeling?
For me it will be the first break; starting with the putts bouncing from beak to beak turning into cackles- alarm yelps and the great black wings clawing for air silhouetted against the backdrop of multicolored leaves accompanied by Vic's excited barks and whines as he flushes any stragglers. Then of course the setup...

The New Zealand dollar is heading for a 4.5 per cent quarterly gain against the euro as the unfolding woes across Europe emerge from the €10 billion ($15 billion) bailout for Cyprus, and as Italian politicians have still failed to cobble together a coalition Government since last month's election.
The kiwi traded near a seven-month high at €65.39c at 5pm Thursday from €65.20c on Wednesday. It fell to US83.56c from US83.75c on Wednesday, and is heading for a 1 per cent quarterly gain against the greenback.
Investors continue to spurn the eurozone after the latest lifeline thrown to Cyprus saw one major bank closed and left some deposit holders facing losses. The region has also fallen out of favour over the inability of Italian legislators to form a coalition Government.
"The UK and Europe are really struggling - austerity isn't working and it's going to be a long drawn-out struggle for them," said Dan Bell, currency strategist at HiFX in Auckland.
"Antipodean currencies and economies have a much more favourable profile any way you look at it - government debt to GDP, growth outlook, or export markets into Asia and emerging markets."

Wow, a massive wave of Ibex activity over the last few days. I've literally not had time to blog!
Some good activity (David finally produces his text widgets which rock), some welcome activity (Adam answers emails and becomes active), and some really unwelcome activity (Adam decides to rewrite grid layout using "linear programming problems").
I guess you have to take the bad with the good and deal with the consequences. That or fork. And nobody wants to fork, especially when a community is just burgeoning. I wish Adam would be more responsible if he's going to manage the project. I mean, it is his project but if he's going to commit ad hoc with some awful patches yet ignore some really good ones, compounded by sporadically being online, there's going to be problems.
Put bluntly, I haven't used the main core sources for over 2 months as they have not worked. There are still problems. If us developers are forced to use cutomised sources in order to make progress, it's only a matter of time before a fork occurs.
I don't think he appreciates this, nor cares about it.
Still, I hack onwards using my customised core without this silly linear programming business in it. Yes it might be useful for the future, but 1) he could have spent 10 minutes fixing the current implementation and had it "good enough" to use and more importantly 2) he could have created another patch repository for the simplex linear programming patches, a power given unto us darcs users. What good are the official sources if they're not usable?
Problem is, he only cares if it's his time wasted. Why is it that really intelligent people are often so damned inconsiderate?

In December of 2010, mammal scientist Anton van Helden was driving in New Zealand when he received a phone call. It was an employee from the ocean conservation department telling him two beaked whales had washed up at a place called Opape Beach in New Zealand. Van Helden didn't think much of the news since the animals were thought to be Gray's beaked whales, which wash up on the country's shores pretty often. He told the employee they could look into it later.
A few months later, van Helden received another phone call about the whales. This time, it was Rochelle Constantine, a marine biologist at the University of Auckland. "I hope you're sitting down," Constantine said. Then she told van Helden that the animals found in December were not Gray's. They were instead a pair of spade-toothed beaked whales: the most mysterious species of whale in the world, known only from bone fragments washed up over the course of 140 years. The species had never been seen in the flesh before.
A Mysterious Animal
After that call, van Helden and his team got to work. They looked at measurements and photos of the whales. They also examined the whales' skeletons. The adult female measured just over 17 feet, and the young male measured 11.5 feet from beak to tail fin. The shape and color of both specimens were very similar to other beaked whales. It would be easy to confuse the pair with the more commonly seen Gray's. The team was able to tell the difference using bones. They compared the whales' bones to three bones that had washed up before. A lower jaw was found in 1872, and two skulls were found in 1986. Until now, those had been the only evidence of the species.
After those bones were discovered, scientists made guesses about what the whole whale would look like. They were never able to figure it out exactly. That's why this find had the team so excited. "It was the first time ever that anybody had ever had even a hint of what these things looked like," van Helden says.
The Search Continues
The new discovery is a big step forward for scientists interested in beaked whales. But there is still much to learn about both this species and its close relatives. A goal of many scientists is to see the animal alive in the wild.
Scott Baker, a marine scientist at Oregon State University, saw his first live, beaked whale last month in Samoa. The sighting lasted about 4 seconds before the animal dove — too brief to tell if it was a spade-toothed. "Their environment is very remote," he says. "It's deep water, and they're submerged for maybe 96% of their lives."
Van Helden says the spade-toothed whale is the size of a big car and has to come to the surface to breathe. "And yet no one has ever seen one alive," he says. "It typifies how little we know about the ocean."

Unless there is something wrong with the tap water, and the OP already says there isn't, large and frequent water changes will not hurt a fish. The idea that large amounts of fresh water might hurt a fish is ridiculous. It's like saying large amounts of fresh clean air will over stress and kill mammals.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Regarding huge water changes for discus - actually, there could be even constantly running water system installed at discus breeder's farms, but please realize how crowdly their tanks are stocked with fry. Some people blindly copy this as rule for discuss, keeping 5-6 fish in a 500 gl tank with daily water change - OK, thats fine, but could it be reasobale indeed?
I cannot be sure about quality of my tap water, besides, I am confident that water in the tank changes its params after 2-3 days drammatically, especially if you inject CO2, ferts, special soils, etc. and amount of such param change is far beyond the range your simple tests of just PH, hardness and nitrogen can show you. There is a huge number of param you cannot test, unless you have lab equipment. So what I suggest, is not to blindly follow the rule of huge pwc, especially if your fish is duying with no mere reason. This risk factor can be minimized as well.

An update: I found another dead cardinal today. Something is most definitely up; that's four dead fish in three days when this tank has prior been without a single death since I can't even remember...
I cleaned the filters in old tank water, did another 50% water change, and thoroughly siphoned the gravel; I plan on doing the latter two every other day until I see no more deaths. I figure keeping my water quality close to impeccable is all I can do for now since no fish look "sick" so I can't really quarantine anyone or make a definitive diagnosis as to what the cause of deaths is.
I'll have to take the risk that excessive water changes are the root of my problem because I have been doing 50% water changes every four days like clockwork since I got the tank and up until now I had no deaths from doing so.
My best assumption is that some uncertain contagious pathogen or a poison has worked its way into my tank. It just puzzles the heck out of me because I have not added any fish or plants to the tank in several months so I'm just wondering how it got in there.
Thanks for all your advice.
Something I didn't see asked yet, what are you feeding? Don't know but I'd assume that bloating might be a sign of poor diet?20 gallon tall: empty
29 gallon: moderately planted with 9 bloodfin tetra, 1 german blue ram, 11 glow light tetra and 1 BNP
10 gallon QT: empty
Micro-pellet, algae wafers, spirulina flake, and frozen bloodworm. I try to rotate what they eat. Does this seem like a healthy diet?
An update: I lost all but two of my cardinals (8 total dead, though some I'm just assuming because they went missing and I never found them) and none of the others (dwarf cories, endlers, galaxy rasboras are all safe)...
Whatever that illness afflicting my fish was, I assume it just had to run its course. I'm pretty sure the water changes were not at the cause of the problem as I've kept up with them every other day and so far it's been over a week (nine days to be exact) since I lost any fish. However, I think it's time to cut back on water changes to every four days like I used to do...
I want to thank you guys for all your helpful advice!

It has been great spending time visiting with my siblings, their children and even THEIR children.
The harbor in which we have spent most of our NY time is Sag Harbor, a well-protected, quiet bay. Unfortunately, it is a 30-45 minute drive (or bus ride) to Hampton Bays. Early in our stay here, we took the boat to Hampton Bays to anchor outside the Shinnecock Canal in Peconic Bay. This anchorage put us a dinghy ride and short walk to family. This area is not very protected and after one anxious night when the winds approached 45 miles per hour, we hightailed it back to Sag Harbor.
I flew Anchorage to help out while our daughter, Jessie had surgery. While there I was able, also to visit with Owen and his fianc�e Brittany as well as Hans, Jessie's husband. I took a quick stopover in Juneau and touched base with Tim and our home. Everything went well and I was back aboard Quest around a week later.
This is the longest stay we've had in a while, and being back in US waters is a different experience than foreign waters. Probably because our US flag is the same as everyone else. While cruising in non-US waters, boaters did more visiting, asking about each trip so far and wonderful experiences to be had here or there.
We have done several maintenance projects. Chris has nearly completed the electrical panel; I made two sail bags using my sister's sewing machine; we finished painting the deck. We had to bite the bullet and have a real Yanmar repairman out to figure out the continuing problem with the engine. We found out that the yacht yard in Sag Harbor had a lift large enough to get Quest out of the water, so we scheduled a haul-out. Quest was about as big a boat as they could handle. I could almost hear the machinery groaning, "I think I can, I think I can..." while I prayed, "I hope they can..."
We knew the bottom of the boat was overgrown with creatures after a full year in mostly warm water. When Quest was in slings up in the air, people stopped and stared. I do believe they will be talking about her hull for years to come - and not in a good way... After Quest was secure, I told one young worker that I was going to walk to the library to pass some time. He asked if I was going to look up what kind of creatures were attached to the hull. Next he suggested that I look up Guinness World Records to see if we made any new ones. Wise acre.
We're getting itchy to begin cruising once again. When I had to dust the steering wheel, I knew it was time to pull anchor and hit the watery road, but in the true tradition of cruisers, we've found more reasons to stay in the area.
It's been over a year since we left Juneau for our epic cruise. Writing these "travelogues" has been a wonderful part of the experience and I thought I'd end this (in the spirit of Johnny Carson) with our "top 10":
10. Being visited mid-ocean by whales and dolphins
9. Train trip visiting Venice, Rome and Florence including the Italian woman who drove us to the train station
8. Arriving at the Catholic church in Patras, Greece just in time for Mass
7. Transiting the Corinth Canal
6. Hiking the volcano on St. Kitts
5. Our visit with Owen and Brittany in Antigua
4. Thunderstorms in the Mediterranean
3. Cruising north at 11 knots in the Gulf Stream
2. Landfall in Antigua after crossing the Atlantic
1. Spending quality time with the one I love the most

Some of you may have heard of the forest fires burning in Colo and specifically the one in Colorado Springs known as the Waldo Canyon fire.
What happened in Colorado Springs was pretty scary. The "forest fire" came into town... Colorado Springs is a major city in Colorado. It burned homes in a neighbohood with paved streets and sidewalks...much like one you may live in.
Here is a video of the people fighting the fire on that fateful night when high winds fanned the fire into town. Sorry about the ad, but the video is pretty good.

Prayers to all the family and friends of those killed and injured today in D.C
Prayers to all the family and friends of those killed and injured today in D.C
Will this continue at military bases? If any personnell should be qualified to carry weapons, you'd think the military would be the last place to have random shootings and killings like this. What's wrong with this picture???
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Heard that there were 12 killed, plus the shooter himself. They think there may be a 2nd "person of interest."
Amazing lack of security. 34-yr-old Aaron Alexis used a stolen identity card of a 50 yr old man. No weapons allowed, but he had 3 guns that he brought in. No metal detectors or anything like that. No search of vehicles. And, it appears, nobody checks to see if the identity of the cardholder matches the person who is swiping it through the card-reader?

First of all, on base the only armed personnel are law enforcement and security.
I was in Europe when the Red Army Faction and other similar action groups were in play. It only took twice, the bombing at Ramstein AB and I forget the other, and suddenly everyone on base was VERY security conscious. At Ramstein, the bombers drove a VW bus on base and parked it in a reserved parking space at HQ USAFE. The bus was typical in that it was covered with slogans, artwork, and rust. Further, the reserved space was assigned to a Lt Col that worked in munitions (I think) but who was away. IOW, there were all sorts of anomolies that it's amazing that they weren't dropped at the gate. Luckily the bomb exploded about 15 minutes before the duty day started and the building was right across the street from the Dental Clinic so first aid help was there in about a minute. Anyway, the two incidents caused all of USAFE to look at what we all did, not just security, for self-protection. Within a day you had to show a picture ID to get a Whopper as the Burger King.
We didn't need guns after that to assure base security. We were urged to report anything of a strange nature and we all did. Three thousand pairs of eyes were more useful that guns. I was one of about 2 dozen reporters of a strange circumstance at Volgolweh (housing support annex) that led to the capture of 3 RAF folks. All it was was a group of three guys meeting over a map spread on the hood of a car outside of the base mortician's building. Nevertheless I was suspicious, as were several others, and called security. They were nabbed and then turned over to the West Germans for trial. So far as I know, they're still in prison.

I go on the base at Corpus Christi, Tx pretty frequently. In the old days I had an id and just had to show it to get in. They have now instituted a fee for contractors who go on base and so I am just on a list that gets me in for the winging ceremonies. Neither I nor my vehicle has ever been searched. There are something like 2000 civilian contractors that move off and on the base daily. Searching vehicles would take all day and no one would ever get on base and the airplanes and helicopters would never get serviced. Will be interesting to see what happens after this. Will almost certainly make things more complicated.

Prior to that order, officers of certain ranks were required to wear side arms.

Defacing the past: damnation and desecration in imperial Rome
- 13 October 2016 — 7 May 2017 *on now
Discover Roman history from a different perspective. This display presents coins and other objects that were defaced, either to condemn the memory of deceased Roman emperors or to undermine the power of living ones.
Like many rulers, Roman emperors used inscriptions, sculptures and coins to project their authority. But the imperial image could be outraged and subverted for political and religious reasons. The memory of Roman emperors and high-ranking officials could be officially condemned after their death through a process known as 'damnatio memoriae', meaning that a person's memory was attacked and largely erased. This was particularly true if rulers were overthrown or executed. Their names were erased and their portraits defaced. Imperial images were also mutilated and destroyed by Rome's enemies to contest the imperial authority.
The display features a selection of coins, inscriptions, sculptures and papyri that show images and symbols of power being subverted in antiquity. It also includes examples from Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, showing that the Romans were continuing a long tradition of desecration of rulers.
From Sejanus in the rule of Tiberius to the decadent Caligula and Nero, and from the disastrous Domitian and Commodus to the soldier emperors of the later empire, follow Roman history from the view of the defacer.

The American Dream: pop to the present
- 9 March — 18 June 2017 *on now
The past six decades have been among the most dynamic and turbulent in US history, from JFK's assassination, Apollo 11 and Vietnam to the AIDS crisis, racism and gender politics. Responding to the changing times, American artists produced prints unprecedented in their scale and ambition.
Starting with the explosion of pop art in the 1960s, the exhibition includes works by the most celebrated American artists. From Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg to Ed Ruscha, Kara Walker and Julie Mehretu – all boldly experimented with printmaking. Experience this extraordinary history through their eyes.
Taking inspiration from the world around them – billboard advertising, global politics, Hollywood and household objects – American artists created highly original prints to rival their paintings and sculptures. Printmaking brought their work to a much wider and more diverse audience.
The sheer inventiveness and technical ingenuity of their prints reflects America's power and influence during this period. Many of these works also address the deep divisions in society that continue to resonate with us today – there are as many American dreams as there are Americans.
This exhibition presents the Museum's outstanding collection of modern and contemporary American prints for the first time. These will be shown with important works from museums and private collections around the world.

The MusiCares Foundation recently hosted a special event with GRAMMY winner Colbie Caillat for more than 40 children and their families at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Caillat performed an intimate acoustic set, including "Bubbly," "Realize" and "Brighter Than The Sun." Following the performance, the children had the opportunity to meet and take a photo with Caillat.
"I'm honored to be here to sing a few songs for these amazing children today," said Caillat. "Any way we can help them, make them smile and bring some laughter into their lives is really important."
Earlier this month, Caillat became one of the latest artists to join MusiCares' "Be A Part Of The Heart" fundraising campaign, which encourages fans, recording artists and corporate and media partners to come together as part of a digital photo mosaic to raise awareness and generate resources to help MusiCares continue to provide a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. In June Caillat teamed with the GRAMMY Foundation to present Los Angeles-based Santee Education Complex with the GRAMMY Foundation's 2011 GRAMMY Signature Schools Enterprise Award, which recognizes efforts made by schools that are economically underserved.
In September, Caillat was a featured performer at the VH1 Save The Music Foundation's Songwriter Music Series. The foundation is dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in U.S. public schools, and raising awareness of the importance of music education. Additional charities Caillat has supported include Farm Sanctuary, the United Service Organization and Wish Upon A Hero Foundation, among others.
These are the most read, shared and discussed articles on GRAMMY.com right now.

Post-Wedding Walk
Brian and I had a quick little getaway to Nashville, TN to attend the lovely wedding for some friends of ours. They got married at a church in downtown Nashville, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.
After the wedding, there was still some daylight, so we took a post-wedding walk and admired all the Spring beauty around us. It felt like we were in a painting - the colors were so gorgeous and the lighting was so perfect.
The gorgeous weather extended through to the next day -- the perfect ending to a little getaway before heading off to our vacation to Australia.
See you when we get back!
(PS. The winner of the Maya by Asha Giveaway is Bee W.Bedard. Congrats!)

To be an artist no longer frees us, but squarely puts us in the mobilization that causes general fatigue. The only alternative, in my opinion, is…genuinely collaborative practices.
Unstable States, New Constitutions
Over the next year we will pursue parallel narratives under the framework Unstable States, New Constitutions in our first long term feature. Through this itinerary we aim to study our increasingly global instability as a method of learning and unlearning the present and gather the constellations and speculative forms rising from this constant state of crisis. We ask: Can this unprecedented moment of dissolution also be an opportunity for rearticulation and rearrangement?

|Research Interests
My research interests focus on advancing robot perception and autonomy techniques and applying it to fielded robotic systems. I am particularly interested in deploying mobile robots and associated technology to industrial, mining, and defense applications that improve productivity and/or personnel safety. To this end, I am leading efforts to bring mobile robots into Oil and Gas industry applications to address gaps in current technology, and/or improve safety by removing people from harms way. I have also been leading a technology effort to develop 3D mapping algorithms for use in oil and gas, mining, and other industrial settings. I lead a diverse team on projects at the Robotics Institute, the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), and Carnegie Mellon Qatar.
