We will do harbor and near-shore reconnaissance at Lewes from Sunday 27 September through Saturday 10 October. The targets date from colonial and Rev War through early 20th century. On the weekend of 3 - 4 October we will be pierside for U. Delaware's Coast Day and Lewes' Boast the Coast. We might also do a field school. Free dorm rooms might be available at Cape Henlopen State Park. If you are interested in participating please use the contact link or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our first field school in low-viz reconnaissance was held on 15-16 and 22-23 September. Nine students attended.
The course included a day and a half on shore to cover basic material and to practice site mapping techniques, two and a half days on the water to run sidescan sonar search lanes and map several wrecks, and completion of a Maryland Historical Trust site report on one of the wrecks.
Geert van der Kolk, a friend of IMH, had a traditional Haitian fishing sloop built at Ile la Vache last year, sailed her from Haiti to Florida, displayed her at a museum in Palm Beach, then brought her to DC for display at American University, all to publicize the plight of the Haitian people generally and the boat people specifically. She is now at Tall Timbers, pending donation to a maritime museum. Pictures and story at http://web.mac.com/geertvanderkolk/iWeb/homepage/English.html
She safely returned from St. Augustine on Friday, 7 August. The folks at LAMP worked her hard and took very good care of her. She is fully operational for the upcoming field school in the Potomac.
We might take her south again next year for another session, perhaps with some modifications -- including better stowage on deck and below, and a small derrick for lifting more ballast from the site LAMP is working.
Long-time friend Townie Burden just gave IMH a lot of used gear, including wetsuits, drysuits, hoods, booties, BCs, and accessories. Some of it is almost new, but some is pretty salty. The suits are small, medium, and extra large. We will keep some as loaners, and sell some. If you are interested, contact email@example.com.
He also gave us a Fisher Pulse 8-X underwater metal detector. We will keep that for use in the field, not sell it. Sorry!
Remy A. Pohl, a diver and high school senior from Hastings NY, will spend the next three weeks living aboard the IMH houseboat at Tall Timbers and doing as much field work as possible and as much data entry as he can stand. He is on facebook.
See http://www.archaeology.org/0907/underwater/
Good stuff!!
The Maryland Department of Planning received $78,000 to identify and assess naval engagements of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 in Maryland. Work will include collecting baseline data at six engagement sites to build future planning and management efforts, including National Register nomination for eligible sites.
For other details see http://media-newswire.com/release_1093643.html.
IMH will hold a four-day field school in underwater reconnaissance by sidescan sonar, and site mapping in low-visibility water. Tentative dates are 15-16 and 22-23 August 2009.
The school will be based at Tall Timbers MD. It will comprise one day ashore and one day afloat, for divers and non-divers, and two days in the water mapping two wrecks in the lower Potomac (divers only).
Space is limited, but some slots are still available. If more people sign up than we can accommodate, we will offer it again later in the year.

Things You Must Know When It Comes To Interior Design
Interior design can seem quite daunting to many people. One good way to make the process of transforming your home less mysterious is to find out as much as you can about the subject. The ideas provided in this article will help to give you the confidence to get started on your own design projects.
An excellent way to add interest to a room is to incorporate a variety of textures or patterns in the space. These patterns can help to enliven the look and detail of your living space. For more contemporary designs, textures and patterns must be used.
Create functional space when you are designing a home office. You will need a good ergonomic chair, a quality desk and enough light to do office work. To make a place that you want to spend time in while working, implement some design choices that have visual appeal.
Make Your Home Beautiful With These Tips Incorporate coordinating patterns and multiple textures in the space. Textures and patterns draw attention to the detail of your room and can really accent any smooth surfaces you have such as wood or glass. If your design plan is contemporary, then patterns and texture are required to get the right look.
Give Your Home Interior A Makeover With These Quick Tips At times, replacing the doors of your cabinets is an easy way to redo your kitchen. Consider doors that are made of glass, to give an open feeling to the kitchen and lighten the atmosphere. You could place some accent pieces inside those cabinets in order to add visual appeal to your space.
Make sure you don't neglect any details, no matter how small they may be. By selecting a few small features of a room to change, you can make a big design statement. For example, you could select your decor, window treatments, fixture, etc. based on a particular theme rather than having to purchase new furniture or completely redo the floors.
If you want to add wallpaper, only do half the wall. It can cost a lot of money to redecorate walls. You can save money by just putting wallpaper on half of the wall. Pick out a bold-colored border and then just paint the rest of the wall. Your home will show a touch of class while your wallet takes less of a beating.
Give Your Home Interior A Makeover With These Quick Tips Balance out the cold look and feel of hard flooring like stone, concrete or tiles, with a few carefully selected area rugs. Rotate them to minimize the wear to any one rug. Your rug can get a fresh look and last longer if you move them once in awhile.
For almost any room, lighting is a primary design element. It has the ability to set the mood and can attract attention in certain directions. Bright light exudes positivity and can be a good selection for the bathroom or kitchen. However, bright lights can project too much energy for rooms where you want a subtler mood. Dimmer lights are great for places like dining and living rooms.
By getting rid of the clutter in any space or room, you would be surprised at how much bigger the area will feel. If you have items out in the open, cluttering up a room, look into creative storage options. It could be boxes for extra toys, or perhaps a new filing cabinet to store paperwork. A simple box stored in the corner of a room will free up space used up by items scattered throughout the room.
You have now taken a glimpse into interior design and all it has to offer. . It can be easy as long as you have the tools that are needed. There's no reason that you and the people you love shouldn't enjoy a unique and beautiful interior environment.

Guernsey, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 30, 2009 -- In their latest move to boost their rapid growth in market share within the UK vitamins, minerals and supplements market, Simply Supplements are proud to launch even more revolutionary supplements to their comprehensive range, and this time their focus has been on natural sources of essential fatty acids (EFAs).
The launch of these uniquely combined supplements coincides with "a recent increase in people experiencing everyday complaints ranging from tiredness and headaches to dry skin and depression, which is thought may be a result of Government health advice on reducing fat consumption being taken a step too far" explained Judith Shaw, Head of Nutrition at Simply Supplements.
Judith went on to highlight the importance of essential fatty acids within the diet, something which is often overlooked: "Whilst saturated fats have been linked to health risks such as high cholesterol and heart disease, there are a number of other kinds of fat, also known as 'good fats', that are believed to play a key role in maintaining general health. It is extremely important that these are not cut from the diet completely. The fats that we should be most interested in are essential fatty acids, as these are the most beneficial to our bodies and our health. However, like many vitamins and minerals, the body does not produce essential fatty acids and therefore they must be present within our diet through the food we eat or supplements, in order to benefit from them. Omega 3 and omega 6 are two of the most renowned groups of fatty acids which are commonly found in oily fish, and our new products have been specifically designed to provide healthy amounts of these 'good fats' within the diet."
In light of the new product launches, Judith also emphasised: "At Simply Supplements we are dedicated to providing our valued customers with a highly desirable and comprehensive range of technically advanced nutritional supplements. The expertise of our specialist team of nutritionists, who ensure quality and consistency at each stage of our new product development process, has lead to our unrivalled stance at the forefront of the UK vitamins, minerals and supplements industry. Our latest phase of product launches not only strengthens our existing range but ultimately helps to address the current issue of a noticeable lack of essential fatty acids within the diets of thousands of people.
With regards to Simply Supplements new and exclusive 'EFA Plus' supplement, Judith said: "This unique formulation exclusively combines Evening Primrose Oil with Cod Liver Oil to provide a high strength combination of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that can be found in both plant and fish oils. EFA Plus incorporates impressive amounts of these two powerful and hugely popular oils into one daily capsule, offering a convenient way of achieving the benefits of essential fatty acids without eating large amounts of oil-rich foods such as fish. In a similar way, our high quality Salmon Oil offers a concentrated natural source of omega 3 fatty acids, with salmon being one of the most highly concentrated sources of omega 3 macro-nutrients. We have also combined two of our most popular supplements, Cod Liver Oil and Multivitamins, into one easy and convenient daily capsule, offering a comprehensive supplement which is packed full of essential nutrients that are often missed out in modern diets."
In conclusion, Judith highlighted: "Nutrition is the key to good health and although supplements should be taken as part of a healthy lifestyle and not as a substitute, it is our aim to offer natural and convenient ways of helping to ensure that the body gets all the vital nutrients it needs."

Un jour à la MontagneStitch count: 326 x 108
To see the list of materials needed to complete this project click here.
Isabelle Vautier The diagrams are all to my liking, but this one of my favorites because it "tells" the mountain, with a set of typically alpine subjects, harmoniously linked to each other. The sampler of this talented author are always very pleasing, because unable to insert almost always (including the design and phrases that often adds in embroidery), even an entire alphabet, which is hidden in various designs but becomes the element that unites and "binds" each other the various scattered elements. All that "mountain" depicted in this long, narrow framework (beautiful this dimension: I have framed "Vive le d'hiver" vent, always Vautier, who also long and narrow, and I arranged as above-door ... seen from the really impressive bass). Deer, mountain huts, pines, snow crystals, small hearts ... nice done in red, but just rifar will have time even in white on dark blue canvas. The only thing that I recommend: photocopy enlarging the scheme because printed a bit 'too small. Cinzia.

A child brought an unloaded, broken pellet gun to a Jurupa Valley elementary school on Friday, Oct. 28, an official confirmed Thursday.
A pellet gun was found on Sunnyslope Elementary School property, said Tamara Elzig, deputy superintendent for Jurupa Unified School District.
Elzig couldn't confirm the age, gender or grade of the student who brought the gun. She also could not comment on what type of action school officials took.
The gun did not have any pellets in it, Elzig said. And though she wasn't sure how, she said the gun was broken.
Riverside County Sheriff's Department spokesman Deputy Michael Vasquez said the department was not made aware of the incident.
"The school staff did not contact us to notify us at any time," Vasquez said in an email.

For two decades, Charles Curtis served in the military and after retirement he continued to fight for fellow soldiers in many ways.
"I'm a veteran and I promote veteran issues and I stand behind the veterans 100 percent," Curtis said. "Anything I can do to help the veterans, I'm there."
Curtis was recently honored as the state winner for Outstanding Veteran Volunteer by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The award was presented during a spring conference in Durham. He was sponsored by the Richard Clinton chapter in Clinton.
"I feel very fantastic and lucky to have been chosen for the award," Curtis said.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1957 through 1977. The Vietnam veteran earned a Bronze Star, Vietnamese Cross of Valiantly, Army Commendation Medal and Good Conduct Medal.
As a youth, Curtis had set his sights on serving in the military and enlisted as a teenager.
"Growing up, I used take a white handkerchief, tie the four ends together and tie it to a stick or a rock. Throw it up in the air and it becomes a paratrooper," Curtis said about using his imagination as a child. "I knew that I would be military from the start."
Curtis is the past commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and past president of the Sampson Veterans Council and is the present commander of American Legion Post 22. DAR officials added that Curtis was recognized for a flag retirement program and involvement in a Veterans Council project to build a a fence for a local nursing home. He led a Missing In Action/Prisoner of War program for Sampson County and under his command, the VFW received an 2012-2013 outstanding post award.
Curtis said veterans have gone through bad turmoil, especially ones from the Vietnam era. Some of the issues he mentioned was not being appreciated.
"Our generation is here to let the American people and the public know that we're not going away," said Curtis, who served three tours in Vietnam. "This is not going to happen to a veteran again — the things we had to go through returning from Vietnam."
DAR officials commended his work with veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, the Patriot Pin essay contest for middle school students, Voice of Democracy for high school students and is the director of the VFW Teacher of the Year award. Some of his other work includes participation in Christmas parades, a flag folding program at local schools and other military related programs.
His 60 hours of volunteering each week includes passing out fruit baskets to veterans at nursing homes and to spouses of deceased veterans.
"What I do is out of love for other veterans," Curtis said.
DAR officials noted that Curtis made himself available to councils and transporting veterans to hospitals. Some of that work may include getting up early in the morning to take a veteran to a medical facility for treatments and not returning until the evening. Some of those stops include Fayetteville, Winston-Salem, Durham, UNC Hospital and Wilmington.
Founded in 1890, DAR is a non-profit women's organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving history and making sure the country is better for future generations.
"They're a fantastic organization," Curtis said about DAR.

The ITC New Veljovic(R) Font Family is an update, optimization of the shapes, proportions and an enlargement of character set of ITC Veljovic which was published by Jovica Veljovic as his first work at International Typeface Corporation in 1984. The typeface with its classic, clear and open forms appears by its sharp serifs as they would have been set in stone. Capitals exude Roman elegance and monumentality. But also subtly distributed calligraphic elements are recognizable in the upright and particularly in the italic styles.Even though this typeface family is completely drawn in its original form in all eight sections by hand, it indicates the strong contrast to a calligraphic flair in the darker italic styles. With a total of 30 styles ITC New Veljovic now offers a wide range of typographic options from Book to Black and is ideal for a variety of projects. In addition to normal weights the family has condensed and display versions, all with matching italic cuts. The character set includes over a thousand glyphs: Small Caps, proportional and tabular figures, Small Caps figures, fraction digits, ligatures and the support of many Eastern and Western European languagesLicense

Slaughtering horses for food is nothing to make light of
Slaughtering horses for food is nothing to make light of
When arguing a position, it's always important to have reason, logic and fact on your side. By those criteria, Irv Dean has three strikes against him in his April 22 column, "Special today: Funny Cide with fries."
In an effort to be sensational and sell newspapers, Mr. Dean makes light of the horrible and dangerous practice of horse slaughter for human consumption. After mocking the intrinsic value of horses to our culture and downplaying the dangers to humans of medicines used to treat all horses — not just racehorses — ending up in the food supply, Dean says, "don't get the idea that I dislike horses." Yeah, on a dinner plate.
Horses are sporting, recreational and companion animals. Their therapeutic and rehabilitative abilities are well documented for veterans, the disabled and people who are incarcerated. Like dogs and cats, if there's no other way to care for them, they deserve to be humanely euthanized at the end of their lives, not sent to the slaughterhouse.
Beyond the sheer brutality of the practice, horse slaughter will enable dangerous, FDA-banned drugs found in horse meat to potentially threaten the U.S. food supply if cross contamination occurs with other meat, like what's happening across Europe. Horses are not bred for food and should be removed from the food chain.
Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, Sen. Kathy Marchione and Assembly member Deborah Glick should be applauded for sponsoring bipartisan legislation to end the barbaric practice in New York.
Horse slaughter will be discussed by equine experts, government officials and others the at the 2013 American Equine Summit on April 27 and 28 at the Equine Advocates Rescue & Sanctuary in Chatham. I would welcome Mr. Dean to attend the event and get the facts for himself.

Limits on gun rights hardly unconstitutional
Some people who insist the Constitution gives everybody the right to carry weapons might have not examined the entire document. Did they overlook that qualifying clause which precedes the oft-repeated phrase, "shall not be infringed?"
We need a "well-regulated militia," in order to maintain a secure country. Why did the Founding Fathers add that qualification?
Could it have been to clarify constitutional Article One, which says that Congress shall have power to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia? In those late years of the 18th century, all guns were handmade. No two were just alike and each had unique handling qualities. Parts were not interchangeable. Each person learned how to load and aim his own weapon. Most country families had a single-shot musket or two for hunting and to ward off marauders.
The Founders may have recognized the huge financial burden that Congress would have to carry in order to arm the entire militia with handmade guns, so they wrote an amendment that would allow people to bear their own arms in a well-regulated militia.
A military history instructor explained this to us as we served as citizen soldiers in the 1950s. By that time, our military weapons had interchangeable parts, the government supplied them, and we did not take them home.
If you look at the history of other constitutional amendments, you will see that legislative and judicial interpretations have qualified most of them. Our freedom of speech does not include the right to slander.
Likewise, the bearing of arms by people can (and should) be qualified, for the protection of the life, liberty and happiness of those who choose to remain unarmed. Qualification is not infringement.

Schenectady a better bet than life in the suburbs
After reading the negatives that real estate agents perceived about living in Schenectady, I would like to offer a few positives that any agent worth their 6 percent should be aware of.
I drive to my job off Exit 9 of the Northway, leaving my home in Schenectady at about 8 a.m. and returning at approximately 6:30 p.m. It takes me between 17 and 20 minutes via Aqueduct Road and the Rexford Bridge. My informal count of cars backed up on Aqueduct [Road], waiting to cross the bridge, has ranged from 45 to 75 minutes at approximately 6:15 p.m. — later than the usual traffic rush. And that does not even consider the cars on Balltown Road.
I have also observed the same situation on the southbound lane of Route 146 in the morning. Assigning a cost to that wasted time is difficult, but let's assume the majority of those drivers work for GE, where the average salary is in the $90,000 range. Working 240 days per year and incurring an additional minimum commute of one hour per day equates to approximately $11,000 in lost "opportunity" costs.
Additionally, the airport's [proximity], superior health care facilities, world class entertainment and a vibrant downtown make living in Schenectady a lot more feasible.
Agents should do their GlobalFoundaries clients a favor and show them the best bang for the buck in the Capital Region.
James Brodie
Racism, anti-Semitism, sexism much the same
There has been debate over whether that teacher's assignment to defend Nazism was anti-Semitic [April 13 Gazette].
It can be difficult for some people to recognize bias such as anti-Semitism or sexism, but nearly everyone recognizes racism. If there is any doubt in your mind about bias in a statement or scenario, substitute African-American for the group.
If it sounds racist, then it is also anti-Semitic or sexist. Ask yourself, would there be any public debate if that teacher's assignment had been for students to defend the Ku Klux Klan?
It is important to study the historical context of events without perpetuating the underlying biases.
Mimi Katz
Social Security another empty Obama promise
In the April 22 opinion section, a 93-year-old senior wrote that he was troubled by the cuts to Social Security that Obama will make. He stated that he regrets voting for this man because Obama promised that no cuts would take place during his second term.
Well, Obama didn't keep all the promises made during his first term, why should he change now? The country is still in bad shape and the future doesn't look to promising, either.
Why is this? Because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

China Rethinks Urbanization
Its new plan is a big policy overhaul.
This spring, planners in China calling for a more sustainable model of urban development gained a surprising new ally: the State Council, China's highest level of government. The National New-Style Urbanization Plan, released in March, is a comprehensive policy document based on the conviction that while China's growing cities will continue to be the country's main economic engine, the current model of urbanization has hit its limits and needs a complete overhaul.
The plan is part of a gradual but significant shift in planning practice in China, and planners working there say it is already making a difference. John Law, AICP, planning leader in Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Shanghai office, says, "We saw the document and realized it would be very beneficial to us, since client education in what makes up a quality urban environment forms a big part of what we do. Now we have a high-level government plan supporting us."
Unprecedented challenge
For decades, China has been undergoing what may be the largest internal migration in history. About 260 million rural workers have left their farms for urban factories and construction sites, according to a recent World Bank report, "Urban China: Toward Efficient, Inclusive and Sustainable Urbanization." The construction boom is visible in almost every urban area, with expressways, railroads, shopping centers, business parks, and massive blocks of high-rise apartments mushrooming out of cities and popping up across the countryside. Some 600 million people have worked their way out of poverty, and for millions more middle-class living standards are now a reality.
Far from running its course, China is now preparing for the next wave of urbanization, and the plan is testament to its intention to do it differently. China is still less urban than other nations at similar levels of development, like Malaysia, Mexico, and Brazil, let alone developed nations like the U.S. and Japan. China proposes to add a daunting 100 million additional residents to its cities by 2020, according to the World Bank, yet the economic and environmental landscape has completely changed since China's urbanization was first unleashed in the early 1980s.
The current model of urbanization is the product of several high-level policies that maintain tight control over urban growth: the household registration or hukou system, which restrains labor migration; collective ownership of rural land, which keeps individual farmers from selling or leasing the land they work; a finance system that all but forces cities to take and sell rural land for development; and national urban codes that impose a rigid separation of land uses in superblocks.
These regulations have prevented some of the worst features of urbanization found across the developing world; there are no sprawling favelas or unmanaged slums surrounding China's cities. But many agree that China's model has also come with high environmental, social, economic, and (crucially) political costs that cumulatively are holding China back.
Already the compromises and contradictions of breakneck urbanization are apparent. The environmental costs are grim. In arid northern China, half of water resources can't be used for drinking, and a quarter of them are so polluted they can't be used at all. City dwellers across the country now routinely check the local air quality index along with the weather before going out.
Many migrants are jammed into substandard housing, poorly served by infrastructure and social services, while ubiquitous new districts of isolated superblocks provide a shallow and unsustainable urban life. China today is a socialist nation in which a third of the population has no social safety net, and the gap between rich and poor is growing. Local governments seize land from farmers to finance development but still face crushing levels of debt from quasi-
legal loans. The last wave of migration fueled China's immense economic expansion, but the next wave threatens to overwhelm it.
If successful, the National New-Style Urbanization Plan will not only repair China's cities but also reknit local government finances and social fabric and wean the economy off injections of urban infrastructure investment. If it fails, China risks falling into the "middle-income trap," a cycle of low productivity and deteriorating demographics, unable to maintain its infrastructure and beset by worsening traffic, pollution, and housing problems. Either way the effects will be felt worldwide: China is big enough to affect the global economy and worldwide climate in the coming decades.
Evolution of the plan
The plan is widely understood to have the backing of Premier Li Keqiang, China's second most powerful leader after President Xi Jinping and a long-time advocate of economic reform. Li took the unusual step of involving partners outside the Chinese government, proposing a research partnership on urbanization between the State Council's Development Research Center, the Ministry of Finance, and the World Bank. Together they produced "Urban China," an exhaustively researched policy white paper that serves as the plan's foundation.
The ministries involved in urban development have all publicly signed on: Housing and Urban and Rural Development, Land and National Resources, Public Security (which oversees the household registration system), and the influential National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC, responsible for national macroeconomic planning.) This plan is not an advisory document, but one meant to embody policy and guide regulation.
Although the plan's focus is urbanization, the real goal is economic transformation. Zhuo Xian, an associate researcher with the State Council Development Research Center and a member of the team that wrote the World Bank report, writes in an article in Shanghai Economic Commentary: "Unlike a specific city plan, the Urbanization Plan includes nearly all of the disciplines involved in China's economic and social development. … How to break the systemic barriers preventing factor mobility and improve the efficiency of resource allocation, thus freeing the potential of economic development and propelling China's modernization, is the logical chain behind the eloquence of the Urbanization [Plan]."
According to Zhuo, the plan's focus is on three significant reforms: labor mobility, land controls, and local government finance.
Labor, land, and finance
Labor mobility in China is limited by the hukou system of household registration. Rural residents may move to the cities to find work, but it's hard for them to settle permanently because their registered residence stays in the countryside. They can't register for health insurance or social security in the cities, and despite legal guarantees their children often are blocked from local schools. They end up being "guest workers" in their own country, often disdained by city residents, and they are not full participants in the urban economy.
In these circumstances, migrant workers tend to live as cheaply as possible and save nearly all their wages. This is one driver of China's abnormally high ratios of savings and investment, and a roadblock to developing a robust consumer economy. The urbanization plan calls for loosening hukou restrictions to reap the double economic benefits of workers moving from low-productivity rural work to higher productivity urban labor — and being confident enough in their new lives to spend their wages.
Meanwhile, as professor Chen Jie of the Institute of Public Policy and Governance at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics said in an interview, "Land reform in the countryside is politically difficult, but it is the way to true urbanization."
Currently, workers are tied to land rights in the countryside that they can't capitalize if they move to the city. At the same time, with rural land held in collectives, it is easy for village leaders to cut deals with real estate developers; most of China's demonstrations and riots involve taking land without villagers' consent or adequate compensation.
Giving rural residents the ability to sell the right to work the land they farm — which the plan calls for, while it also carefully avoids the politically sensitive concept of outright land sales — would allow them to migrate and give them starting capital when they do. It also would make it easier for rural land, most of which is currently fragmented in tiny plots, to be assembled and farmed more efficiently.
The flip side of land reform is fixing public finance, which is distorting both the process and the form of urbanization. There is no property tax in China, so the primary way local governments finance future development — and even ongoing expenses — is by taking farmland at agricultural prices (with or without consent) and then selling it in large chunks to developers as urban land. Many times the peasants who previously worked the land are resettled on it in new apartment buildings, having gained only a fraction of its value and having lost the means to make a living.
This kind of false urbanization is made worse by the ongoing need for land sales, which tends to push urbanization to the edges of urban areas and even to disconnected pockets outside it. Combined with huge development plots and restrictive separated use urban codes, the result is "urban" development that is internally inefficient, unconnected to existing development, and lacking any underlying reason for existence. The plan calls for ending exploitative development practices and giving local governments sustainable sources of income.
The plan also takes on the physical model of development. The supporting World Bank report is firm in saying that improving the quality and efficiency of China's cities must be an integral part of urbanization reform, partly because the average population density in China's cities "has dropped by more than 25 percent in the last decade." For American visitors, the notion that Chinese cities are not dense enough is almost laughable, but the World Bank is referring not to the city cores but to the wide swaths of newly developed land on the outskirts.China's new urban districts are almost universally built on an "edge city" model: unconnected developments of high-rise buildings set among vast boulevards, gigantic setbacks, and isolated commercial centers. Because cities and districts compete for investments, China on average uses more than a quarter of its urban land for industry, compared with less than 10 percent in Seoul and Hong Kong, according to the World Bank report. The upshot is that Chinese cities have plenty of room to densify while increasing usable open space and improving quality of life.Consequently, the plan is groundbreaking for its explicit call to change the physical model of development. One development goal titled "scientific and rational urban development" calls for a "high density, mixed-use, intensive and compact transit-oriented development model to become dominant." While this kind of language is now standard in the U.S., it is pioneering for an official policy plan in China.Justin Huang, AICP, the planning and urban design director of Sasaki Associates' China office, says the concept of good urbanism is still a new concept in China: "We see a lot of generic principles, but planners need to get to the next level of applying them to specific sites." He says China's planning system, in which legal control plans must be drawn up and stamped by a local design institute in accordance with national codes, is a barrier to new approaches.
"Right now planning codes are a challenge; national and local codes are a powerful tool for control, but they are hard to change" at the LDI level, Huang says.
The importance of a plan — even one without detailed regulations or the force of law — is magnified in a highly regulated economy such as China's, and the plan is already important as a statement of principles. But its lasting significance depends on how it is implemented: Real changes in how urbanization takes place will require supporting regulations.
In the plan, implementation and evaluation are left to the NDRC, although the document makes clear that ministries and local governments will have to cooperate. A common view among Chinese academics I spoke to is that the plan offers nothing truly new, and that its significance lies in the message that the government is intent on implementation. Given the complexity and political sensitivity of key elements in the plan, John Law of SOM says, "It may be that the plan takes longer than 2020 to fully implement. But we see the trend as more important than the timeline."
There are challenges. Eliminating hukou restrictions is one of those ideas that everyone supports: Most cities already have some kind of a point system in place, in which residents with higher education, or those who invest in businesses or property, can eventually convert their temporary residence permits to an urban hukou. But bringing all rural migrants into the system immediately would cost trillions of yuan and break local governments. The plan calls for gradual expansion of residence permits and hukou benefits; it acknowledges that all migrants cannot be included by 2020.
To reform local government financing, pilot property tax schemes have been floated in Chongqing and Shanghai, but the number of properties they cover is minimal. Currently real estate is cheap to hold but expensive to sell, and upending this balance is a change that few municipalities are eager to take on even as their debt levels grow. Recently local governments have also been allowed to sell bonds, so they can theoretically get cheaper financing. But this may also have limited short-term effects.
"The immediate effect will be small, since local government finances are not transparent, and the market may not find them attractive," says Chen Jie. "But in the long term, bonds will be another financing option for local governments."
One challenge to reform is the assumption that the real purpose of the plan is to prop up growth through continuing infrastructure investment. It does contain specific service targets for the national high-speed rail and highway networks, and it advocates the widespread replacement of substandard housing. And several Chinese scholars I talked to, who asked not to be named, confirmed there is a widespread assumption that stimulus — an influx of government spending to boost economic growth — is a big part of the plan.
On the other hand, SOM's Law says, "Beyond the economic driver for this plan, I think China's leaders are interested in using smarter urbanization as an opportunity to also address issues of environmental quality, water and food safety, and urban livability."
Finally, there are policy contradictions within the plan itself. While China wants rural workers to move to cities, the plan suggests small and medium-sized cities instead of the three megacities of Beijing, Shanghai, and the Pearl River delta region (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.) Already, urban hukou in small and medium-sized cities are often relatively easy to get — but of course these are not as desirable.
The World Bank's work suggests that channeling migration this way is bucking economic history, and from an efficiency point of view China's largest cities should be allowed to grow. The question is important because China's smaller cities have sunk huge investments into infrastructure, housing, and new commercial and industrial districts. Real estate analysts say these have the greatest risk of becoming "ghost cities," unsupported by real demand.
Planners respond
John Law says the market for SOM's services started changing before the plan was released. "There has already been a shift from single-use projects to more mixed use, transit-oriented, and commercial," he says. Justin Huang of Sasaki also foresees long-term reform, pointing to the evolution in urban development concepts in the U.S. in the past few decades, which were the result of efforts from both public and private sectors.
"Chinese leaders travel a lot and see the most cutting-edge designs in the world, and they adapt," Huang says. "The planning mechanisms are still very conservative, but they may change very quickly once there is consensus from the government."
Law also sees alignment with public opinion on the issue of protecting local culture. "This is a reaction to previous development replacing villages with endless high-rise towers in which everything looks the same," he says. "One of the aspects of the plan that we are most excited about is that of cultural preservation. We are hoping to see projects with more aggressive preservation strategies by the local municipalities that will allow us to highlight and strengthen the region's unique character and reflect local culture."
The New Urbanization Plan marks a turning point in China's development. Its message is that the old model of investment-led growth at city fringes needs to give way to a new focus on efficiency, resource protection, and quality of growth over quantity. If China's leaders follow through with the difficult reforms necessary to see the plan realized, development will gradually shift from showpiece new districts to urban rejuvenation, and there will be a new focus on environmental and cultural resources and quality of life.
A bilingual presentation by SOM on China's urbanization challenges and planning best practices is available here.

It is launched and runs independently, so that if Domoticz should stop running, for whatever reason, the script will continue to quietly do its thing, keeping your system cool.
First you'll need to get the PWM activated, which unfortunately isn't as straightforward as one might think; the hardware PWM clock is not initialised at boot, and by default only starts up when the on-board soundcard is in use. There is however an alternative Device Tree Overlay, which activates the hardware PWM clock for general use, see the following guide for how to install it: Using the Raspberry Pi hardware PWM timers. You could of course use a "soft" PWM instead, but these eat up precious CPU cycles, which seems unnecessary when you just want to change the speed of a fan - so this guide assumes the hardware PWM route.
Once you have installed and activated the pwm-with-clk.dtbo overlay linked to above, you should be able to test the PWM by doing (in a root shell):
# cd to the device location
cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0
# Export PWM channel 0
echo 0 > export
# Set the period in nanoseconds
echo 1000000 > pwm0/period
# Set the duty cycle <= period
echo 200000 > pwm0/duty_cycle
# Enable the PWM
echo 1 > pwm0/enable
# Duty cycle can be changed while running
echo 999999 > pwm0/duty_cycle
Domoticz configuration
To be able to monitor the fan status in Domoticz, you need to create a "virtual sensor" of the type "Alert". Call it "Fan Status" for example, and make note of its index number (shown on the "Devices" page in Domoticz).
If you have access to an oscilloscope, correct functioning of the hardware PWM can be verified by hooking it up to the pin you chose when enabling the overlay (pwm0 defaults to GPIO_18). Otherwise, you can hook up an LED with a small series resistor (270 Ω) between the PWM pin and a GND pin; by modifying the "duty_cycle" value above you should see the light intensity change. But an output pin on a Raspberry Pi is not powerful enough to directly drive a fan, nor is the voltage sufficient for most PC type fans, which tend to run on 12 V DC (though 5 V varieties also exist). So we will need some external cicuitry to give it a bit more brawn:
Suggested components:
- Q1: any small N-channel MOSFET (e.g. 2N7000/BS170)
- R1: 10 kΩ resistor
- C1: 0.1 uF electrolytic capacitor
- D1: Any small rectifier diode
Nothing too complicated going on there; Q1 will be switched on/off by the PWM signal from the Pi, C1 & D1 smooth out transients, while R1 keeps the MOSFET gate from floating. You can build this on an 8x4 piece of stripboard:
The "RPM" line is just a straight through connection, in case you want to use a 3-pin fan with tachometer output. You can connect this to an input pin on the RasPi if you want to read it, but you'll need to enable the internal pull-up resistor for it to work (the tachometer output on PC fans is an open collector).
To connect it up, run a wire from the PWM output pin on the Pi (the default is GPIO_18 for pwm0, though you can change this in /boot/config.txt) to the PWM input connector on the stripboard. If your fan is a 12 V model you'll need a separate 12 V power supply, which you connect to the GND and VDC inputs. If it's a 5 V model, you can probably get away with powering it from the 5 V pin on the Pi, provided it has a sufficiently powerful PSU - in this case connect the GND input to one of the ground pins on the Pi, and VDC to the Pi's 5 V pin.
Optionally, if you want to monitor the fan's rotational speed, connect a wire from an input pin on the Pi to the RPM pin on the stripboard, and activate its internal pull-up resistor. Since it's not possible to do this from a Bash script, this functionality is not currently supported by the script featured here. If you want to include RPM monitoring you'll need to install a GPIO library, such as WiringPi, and modify the script to count RPM pulses, and report these to Domoticz in a separate virtual sensor.
Installation instructions
Assuming you have followed the instructions for activating the PWM hardware clock at boot, all you need to do is copy the script below into a new file on your Pi, change the "fan_idx" to the index of the Domoticz alert sensor you want to use for monitoring, and make it executable:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/fancontrol.sh
# Paste the script into this file and save it
# Make it executable with
sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/fancontrol.sh
You can now test the script by running:
sudo /usr/local/bin/fancontrol.sh
Leave the script running, and in another terminal run (for example) "stress" to load the CPU, causing it to heat up:
stress --cpu 4
You should see the fan start spinning, and after stopping "stress", eventually stop. You should also see the status of the "alert" sensor you set up in Domoticz change when the fan status changes. Open the script and edit the temperature breakpoints, and low/high fan-speeds to suit. Note that the fan-speed should never exceed the "period" value ("period" is the PWM frequency in nanoseconds, so 100000 is 1 kHz), and if you set it too low it may not provide enough energy for the fan to start.
Finally, you probably want to launch this script at boot, and leave it running in the background. On a Systemd Linux distribution (like Raspbian), this is very simple; create a new file in /etc/systemd/system/ called fancontrol.service:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/fancontrol.service
And paste the following into it:
Again, make this executable with:
sudo chmod u+x /etc/systemd/system/fancontrol.service
You then need to tell Systemd about the new service, and enable it to run at boot:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable fancontrol
That's all there is to it - you can now try rebooting your system and checking if the fancontrol service is running with:
sudo systemctl status fancontrol

Americans were the last to know..Ten Years into Global Hegemony #Iraq
This may or may not turn into a REALLY long piece. So much to say; so much has happened. I find myself with pages to say in my mind only to approach the keyboard and become mute. How can a person articulate the losses we have suffered since the War in Iraq began? And I do NOT want to play the hegemonic victim role here..America's losses are NOTHING compared to what poor Iraq (and the World) has lost.
I feel that while 9/11 traumatized the American Psyche, it was not until the run-up to the War in Iraq that we actually stepped into Bizarro World. While what happened in New York was at once both heart shattering and surreal..it was not until the run-up to the War in Iraq that we actually became mad…and I don't mean angry here…I mean STARK RAVING MAD.
Ten Years. THE LIES. The Soul of America. THE LIES. A controlled Media. THE LIES. The persecution of anyone who dissents. THE LIES. The Loss of Free Speech. THE LIES. The loss of Critical Thinking. THE LIES. The COMPLETE ANNIHILATION of our Economy. THE LIES. Our Reputation around the world – THE LIES – and I'm under no illusions that America has been some kind of "Angel". NOW I know about what we have done to the American Indians..and South America – I know about Iran…AND Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, the list seems ENDLESS – each one a new stab to my heart. But GODDAMMIT, we Americans were the LAST ONES to know.
The rest of the World knew..they LIVED IT. YES – we now know America the stole your land – and continues to; we know about their murderous policies, the rise of the Multinationals, the stealing of your National Resources, the forcing of Neo-Liberalism. SUCH a great system Capitalism is that is has to be introduced from the end of a gun..
…but forgive us, we were the LAST to find out what a FARCE this "America" was…and we MOURN who we THOUGHT we were..the pain is no less real because we were THE LAST TO KNOW. It's like there are TWO Americas..the real one..and the one they told us we were.
I cannot forgive them for what they have done to you world..and I cannot forgive myself for not knowing it sooner.
Turns out, you will have the last laugh as these maniacs are now turning their murderous intentions and policies inward..upon us. We will soon join you in your pain, your loss. In the beginning there was the Patriot Act (the cynical name should have tipped us off)..dragnet spying, the FISA Act, The NDAA authorizing indefinite detention of Americans, HR 347 prohibiting protest, and just lately a (non) debate on the assassination of Americans – even on American Soil..
Laugh, world, laugh..we'll laugh together ..through our tears..
We were THE LAST TO KNOW.
Hey, You…fellow Americans, PLEASE WAKE UP. You are NOT the Americans you thought you were.
Guess I'm mute after all as I intended this to be at least 12 Bajillion pages long..so much to say, but there are just NO WORDS.

The rising power of America's tribes
American Indian lands are among the hottest prospects for renewable-energy investment in North America, with several gigawatts in the pipeline, and the potential for hundreds more.
Encouraged by President Barack Obama's administration, numerous tribes across the US are opening up their reservations to wind and solar development, with the intention of bringing jobs, long-term revenue and energy self-sufficiency to their struggling communities. It would also ensure that the tribes — which live in semi-autonomous "nations" inside the US — are less dependent on government assistance and can gain access to private capital and technology.
Tribal lands comprise 2% of the US's surface area but 5% of all renewable-energy resources, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). There is potential to install a staggering 6.7 terawatts (TW) of renewable electricity on that territory — six times the country's total energy capacity.
The Navajo Nation, the largest tribe, could alone support more than 1TW of utility-scale PV on its reservation that sprawls across four southwestern states, according to the DOE. For starters, the tribe is looking at developing up to 4GW of solar capacity — more than the US installed in 2012. The tribes — such as the Cherokee in Oklahoma and the Sioux in the Dakotas — have more than 6GW of utility-scale wind projects under development. Some, including the Blackfoot and the Crow in Montana, are exploring the possibilities and welcoming potential partnerships with private developers.
Even the smallest of the 566 tribes and Alaskan Native entities recognised by the federal government are getting into the act. The Moapa Band of Paiutes, with just 340 members, is leasing land in southern Nevada for two solar projects totalling 390MW.
The tiny tribe drew national attention in December when the Los Angeles city council approved a $1.6bn deal to buy 25 years' worth of electricity from a 250MW PV farm that New York-based developer K Road Power will build, finance and own. Construction of this utility-scale solar project — the first on Indian lands — will begin in June and take about two years to complete.
K Road managing director Sean Gallagher believes the project can be a template for other tribes and investors looking to develop solar projects in Indian country. "It's a great story. We're trying to show it can be done on tribal land," he says.
He predicts that the tribe will see many spin-off benefits from the project. These include additional tax income, revenue from the lease, supply contracts and increased sales of food and fuel from the tribe's "Travel Plaza" truck stop off US Interstate 15 — its chief source of income.
"We're striving to be economically independent from the federal government by relying more on our businesses that we are trying to get going here," Anderson says. His pride in his people is evident as he gazes across the quiet reservation, where the main village consists of a few streets, several dozen humble houses and a small church nestled against a backdrop of sun-baked hills. He recalls the struggles of previous generations to survive there, relying on subsistence farming and hunting. Electricity and running water did not arrive until the 1960s.
Numerous tribal business ventures subsequently failed or were not carried through to completion. One exception was a greenhouse for growing vegetables, but it was destroyed by a freak hailstorm when Anderson was a child. "There was never money to start it back up," he laments.
The truck stop and adjacent casino have helped tribal finances, but possible growth and employment is modest. Job opportunities elsewhere are limited by the reservation's desert isolation.
Solar energy holds greater promise. The K Road project will create about 450 temporary jobs at peak construction — with some going to tribal members — and 15-20 permanent posts that include monitoring a reserve the tribe will create for federally protected desert tortoises.
Learning industry-specific skills will open new horizons. "It's not just 'work on this project and it's done'. We want to create a career for our people who want to do this," Anderson says.
RES Americas is developing a 140MW facility on Moapa land that will utilise either PV or concentrating solar power with storage. Plans call for a third party to own the project, with RES as a possible partner. A completion date of 2016 is possible, but a buyer for the power has yet to be found.
The DOE is also funding a small solar array that may enter operation this year, providing the truck stop with power and enabling the tribe to turn off its expensive, noisy, dirty diesel generators.
Anderson says the solar projects are partly a response to what he alleges are health issues among tribal members caused by fly-ash contamination from an ageing coal-fired plant adjacent to the reservation, which is majority-owned by utility NV Power. "We wanted to demonstrate that there are alternative ways to produce energy without polluting the earth," he says. (NV Energy tells Recharge that the plant is independently monitored using equipment on Moapa land and is one of the cleanest for coal in the US.)
For millennia, Native Americans saw the sun and wind as gods. Together with soil and water, those elements helped form the basis of tribal identity and influenced customs, governance, health, spiritual beliefs and economic security. In many cases, they still do today. But in a modern world, maintaining harmony with Father Sun (the Creator) and Mother Earth (the Provider) is a growing challenge for tribes.
Their reservation land is increasingly vulnerable to environmental degradation from coal mining, oil production and other industrial causes, as well as the effects of global warming, such as prolonged drought and other extreme weather events. Water supply, the ability to grow crops, and the health of tribe members are at risk.
Renewable energy has emerged as one response to those ills, as a growing number of the 800,000 Native Americans living on reservations desire a return to ecological balance and environmental heali
Navajo Nation president Ben Shelly tells Recharge that renewable energy is compatible with his tribe's religious beliefs for respecting the land and human life. "I tell everybody that they are composed of air, dirt, fire and water. The choice is theirs. When you pollute the environment, it's really you [that you are polluting]," he says.
Desperate for jobs and income, his tribe has learned the hard way. Decades of mining coal on the reservation has led to water loss in the main aquifer and contamination, while fouling the air. After health issues, uranium extraction was banned in 2005. But coal still remains important for the tribal economy.
Not only does that tribe see wind and solar as important economic opportunities, it also plans wider investment — such as an equity stake in the $1.5bn Tres Amigas project in eastern New Mexico, which would link the three major US electricity grids. This would spur the tribe's own renewable-energy development by providing access to the broader US power markets, and give it an opportunity to create distribution contracts. Shelly likes the idea of Navajos as partners and in control, not reliant on lease fees and royalties from outsiders.
The other Native American solar project currently at an advanced stage is the 30MW Shandlin — the Navajo name for sunlight — which will be built on land belonging to the To'Hajiilee chapter in New Mexico, west of Albuquerque. SunPower is the project partner. "All we need is a buyer for the power," says Rob Burpo, president of First American Financial Advisors, a consulting group working with the To'Hajiilee.
Only one large wind farm is currently operational on Native American soil — a 50MW facility on land leased by the Campo Band of the Kumeyaay Indians in the southwest corner of California. That tribe is reportedly working on a new 160MW project. Utility-scale projects by other tribes are in various stages of development.
"There is a tremendous amount of potential out there and tribes are interested. But renewable energy is expensive to develop and is a steep challenge for them," says South Dakota's secretary of tribal relations, Leroy "JR" LaPlante.
Tribes say their biggest need is technical expertise, explains Tracey LeBeau, who was appointed in 2011 to establish and lead the DOE's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs. Initiatives involving her office and DOE national laboratory experts are helping tribal teams to evaluate financial and technical feasibility, and provide the early development and technical assistance needed to move commercial-scale wind and solar projects forward.
LeBeau has also been looking for synergy between tribal lands and nearby US military installations — large potential customers for renewable energy. "This is a very interesting opportunity for tribes," she says.
There are sti
Commercial codes are not well-developed or uniform and lack precedents. In some cases, tribal laws are antiquated — for instance, the Navajo have not updated much of their statute book since 1923. The probity of local judges is also a concern. But some tribes are already busy updating their legal systems to reflect 21st-century business requirements.
Shelly says that tribes, investors and federal government all have their part to play in unlocking the renewables potential of tribal lands."What we want are win-win situations all-around for everybody," he says.
- About 15% of Indian homes have no access to electricity.
- Only 800,000 of the 2.9 million Native Americans in the US live on reservations.
- Tribal governments and enterprises cannot utilise federal production or investment tax credits as they are not subject to federal income tax.
