Being the gatekeeper of the Hurlbut inventory, I see all types of gear come and go every week. Sometimes for a day or two and sometimes for upwards of a month. It took no time at all for these cameras to travel to more countries than I have visited. In the same week, we had two separate kits return – one covered in sand and the other still defrosting from -20* weather. We have even had a camera get hit by a speeding Lincoln Continental skidding across ice…thrice! Needless to say, the camera and lens looked like they went 12 rounds with Tyson (pre-bite, not post-bite) but the shot looked terrific! That's what I find to be most advantageous with these cameras and their rigging options. You can hang it from just about anywhere and make it look good, as long as you're dialing in the right settings.
My favorite aspect about this format is the constant need for progression. There is so much to be discovered. I feel we have handcrafted a system that embraces the pros and devises ways to counter the cons – all while in mid – sprint. Shane, and many others, have fabricated their own formats to better serve as templates for success. Every time I see a final cut of a project from a prior rental, I am utterly amazed by the potential of this camera. People continue to make the argument that this is a prosumer camera. I am not going to disagree with that, but my response is that there are Dodge Neons that can outrace Camaros these days. It's not so much what's under the hood, but who's driving. If there's no story or creative vision, you're off to a rough start.
Earlier this month, I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to attend N.A.B. There was literally gear coming out of the soda fountains, tucked beneath my doughy slice of Sbarro's pizza, and I even sneezed out a CF card. Seriously, gear was everywhere. It was nice to see how far this platform has come, but at the same time, the next draft class is getting ready to tally some stats. It's beginning to look like a prime example of Darwin's "survival of the fittest." People love to comment on some of the drawbacks (converting HDMI to SDI, HDMI splitting, and general in-camera issues) but seeing so many creative minds looking for cost effective solutions made me feel that, if done right, this platform can secure a crucial role in digital filmmaking on a tight budget. I learned a lot in Vegas – what to expect from the industry's upcoming big releases, the forward momentum this industry is gaining, and that blackjack just simply isn't my game.
We have had several DPs with credible titles under their belts come through our doors expecting to see a "trend." I can usually tell when I show them the first slice of our system. They mostly seem apprehensive at first glance of the gear. Piece by piece, they see it come together and flourish into a professional system. The light switch upstairs flips. The mentality changes. Another DP convinced. There are things I cannot disclose at the moment, but we have some serious plans for the future that will help solidify this medium as something to be reckoned with. "Chaos in harmony" is my favorite way to think of this camera composition. There is an abundance of chaos within the DSLR's development and everyone seems to be reaching for that infamous cookie jar on top of a monstrous fridge. My best advice is to do your own trial and error research to develop something that works for you.
Below is what we typically include in a Standard Kit. We almost never rent this exact kit out as renters love customizing their kits and including add-ons, but will give you an idea of what we get started with in renting gear for jobs like "X-MEN: First Class," BMW commercial work, and more.

Evaluation Process
The evaluation process may include four phases, beginning with the least invasive. This includes procedures described in the Patient Guide to Procedures.
Phase I: The first evaluation phase is a comprehensive investigation that requires approximately a week of continuous audio-visual-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring in Yale's six-bed adult epilepsy unit or two-bed pediatric unit. During this time, the patterns of altered behavior and movement, along with the EEG recording during seizures, can help the epileptologists localize the source. Advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), PET and SPECT scans along with neuropsychological testing are performed to determine function and pathology.
Phase II: The second phase entails performing an angiogram to study the vascular structures and WADA (intracarotid sodium amytal testing), which determines language dominance and memory assessment useful to surgical planning.
Phase III: If it is necessary to study the brain directly to pinpoint the source of the seizures, the patient may have EEG electrodes surgically implanted either on the surface or within the brain.
Phase IV: Using all the information collected during the prior phases, the interdisciplinary team of specialists is now able to outline for the patient and family whether surgery is possible and what the results might be. If surgery is chosen, neurosurgeons proceed to remove any lesions or damaged brain revealed by the testing process to be the focus of the seizures.

When Great Listening Happens By Accident
By Sean Ross (@RossOnRadio) Posted March , 2015
The best part about radio's infinite dial is that there are more than 100,000 choices. The worst is that you pretty much still have to know what you want. I try to provide audio concierge services for Ross On Radio readers, but I could always use one myself. Which European top 40 will have the great song I can know about six months before the U.S., and which will just be playing "I'm Not the Only One"? Which small-market station will be transporting, and which one will be syndicated?
My radio tourism has always benefitted from those aggregators who show you a lot of choices. Uberstations.com allows me to toggle around most of any market's radio dial, often with "now playing" information. TuneIn.com once had a feature that showed "now playing" information from dozens of stations in the same genre that you were listening to.
That feature is gone, but there's still predictive search on TuneIn's radio app. That's how I came across CKFU Fort St John, BC. I was preparing for a trip to Toronto and typed in the calls of top 40 CKFM (Virgin Radio). After typing in three characters, I got "Moose FM," one of a number of similarly branded (but not identically programmed) Canadian stations.
Moose FM was billed as "Energetic Country." I would always want to listen to a station that played energetic country, but the name itself seemed a little awkward. After some listening, it became clear that Fort McMurray was "the Energetic City." And thus Moose FM became the perfect local station – one that an outsider needs at least 20 minutes to understand.
Last night, I started using the predictive search to find more stations I didn't know. I was looking for KVIL Dallas. Here's where I ended up next:
KVIK Decorah, Iowa – It's Classic Hits in Northeast Iowa. When I came across it, it was playing "All Fired Up," the long lost Pat Benatar single that marked the end of her hit streak. It was followed by the country-rock opus "The Road Goes On Forever" by Joe Ely. "Chevy Van" by Sammy Johns was in there, too. So was "Fred Bear," Ted Nugent's eight-minute hunting tribute, which led to PM driver Pete Wennes talking about his first bow and arrow. Like much of the small-town radio I come across, "The Viking" was hosted, which makes it considerably more live-and-local than many large-market outlets.

text: My server (ISPConfig 3, Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS) has been running for nearly a month now, an I've encountered some issues: From time to time the server would stop delivering emails. At first I did not suspect anything special, but it happened three times now, so I had a closer look at my logs. Here's what /var/log/mail.err says: So I got a little worried - killing processes and not reaching the DB is not what you want to see in a log. So I had a look at the /var/log/syslog and noticed, that it had something to do with the memory: So, as far as I understand, the ClamAV processes require too much memory. The server begins to swap the leaking memory and as soon as it runs out of space it starts killing the most "greedy" processes. Among ClamAV that also includes mysql - so my mailserver (dovecot) stops working and queues everything until I restart the server. But even after a restart it doesn't take a minute to fill 850-900MB of memory - what the...? I have 1GB + 512MB swap, which actually should be quite decent for a web-application with ~700-1000 visitors and 70-100 emails per day - shouldn't it? The CPU rarely touches the 10%-mark. Running ps aux revealed the following (noteworthy) results: So the amavis-processes are consuming abot 30% of my memory, which seem way too much. Is that normal? Is it required for ISPConfig to work (I couldn't find an option to switch it off...) If it is, would it be a bad idea to disable/uninstall ClamAV? In fact, I don't quite see the point of an anti-virus-application on a web-server... Or is the only solution to increase the RAM? I did some research and it seems I'm not the only one with these observations/complaints - is there an alternative to ClamAV? Thanks in advance!

Got a look at The Luggage Store's upcoming show T.W. Five, "My last darling" (opening Friday, Nov 5th 7-9pm) with Brazilian street artist Paula Pereira and Swedish pictorial artist Pernilla Anderson where they created a massive vinyl installation on the gallery walls. Don't miss it. ~show details.
By hand cutting the vinyl; t.w.five gives the medium of vinyl a more sensual complexity... For the ongoing "postcard" series the "Between" stages are represented by images which include transportation such as trains, boats and airports which symbolize time, thoughts and displacement among people who are between destinations. It also represents a personal journey how one embraces a new culture and their past culture for the possibility of becoming something new.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While American and Israeli leaders are already patting themselves on their respective backs over the reported resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the other party to the talks, the Palestinian Authority, is saying everyone should instead hold their respective horses.
Israel is already setting up negotiating teams, and the Obama Administration is praising itself over ostensibly "closing the gaps" that had previously seemed like insurmountable obstacles.
But on Sunday, two of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' most senior advisers said it was by no means certain that bilateral peace talks would take place in the coming weeks, as claimed by US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh and Yasser Abed Rabbo, official spokesmen for Abbas, said the Palestinian leader had merely agreed to send a team to Washington to continue the low-level preliminary talks that had already been taking place.
Both Rudeineh and Abed Rabbo would likely be on any official negotiating team. But they aren't heading to Washington, because official negotiations are not on the schedule.
Both men said that from the Palestinians' point of view, the talks scheduled in Washington next week are aimed at convincing Israel to meet the remainder of Palestinian preconditions so that official negotiations can resume at some future date.
Kerry's announcement that official peace talks are about to resume would seem, at best, premature, in light of this clarification.

Informix has four protocols, or communication channels, which you can use to access the server, SQLI, DRDA, JSON, and RESTful. If you are familiar with one of these and want to know how to perform the same basic operations using one of the others, consider this post to be your Rosetta stone.
The sample application is written in Java. It iterates through using the Informix JDBC driver (which uses the SQLI protocol), the DB2 JCC driver (which uses DRDA), the MongoDB driver for Java (JSON), and native Java HTTP classes (REST). For each of these protocols, it goes through the steps to:
- Create a user
- Create a database
- Create a table/collection
- Create a row or document (entry)
- Read an entry
- Update an entry
- Delete entries
- Drop a table/collection
- Drop a database
- Drop a user
The code should be self-explanatory, but there are some differences between the APIs worth noting.
Using the SQLI and DRDA protocols, connections are stateful. There is an open channel maintained between the port listening for commands on the server and the port on the client sending commands. So, transaction states are easily maintained, and multiple commands can be executed without re-authenticating. Most operations are identical between these two, except the URLs are different. Informix JDBC requires an INFORMIXSERVER setting. You can not drop the database you are currently accessing. Authentication takes place at the server level, allowing you to access whatever database for which you have appropriate privileges.
The MongoDB clients are what I'll call semi-stateful. Client and db objects have the appearance of maintaining a connection with the database server, but really the connection information is cached on the client side and as far as the listener is concerned every operation is independent. (Exceptions to this model are beyond the scope of this write-up.) The database you are dropping must be the current database. Authentication takes place at the database level.
Fitting the REST model, there is no concept of a stateful connection in the RESTful API. However, there are two ways to authenticate: Providing a user name and password as is common, and sending a session id cookie from a previously authenticated operation. Using a session cookie is how you can, say, authenticate against the admin database, and use your userAdminAnyDatabase privilege to create a new user within another database.
Users with the ability to create other users must already exist for this demo to work. Examples:
Informix DBSA: create user dbsauser with password 'a1b2c3d4e5' properties user 'nobody' authorization(DBSA)
2.4: use admin
db.addUser( { user: "userAdmin", pwd: "1RDSRDS", roles: [ "userAdminAnyDatabase" ] } )
2.6: db.createUser({user: "userAdmin", pwd: "1RDSRDS", roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ] })
The download file contains the source code and Eclipse project that can be used to build it. It also contains all the required drivers; it is your choice whether to use the ones included or use more modern ones you have installed. Included in the project is an ANT script for building the jar.
Run the demo with the command: java -jar basicChecks.jar connSettings.properties
Running the demo without the required properties file will give you instructions for what the file should contain.
$ java -jar basicChecks.jar
Usage: java Main <connection properties file>
The connection properties file should contain lines of <name>=<value> pairs.

Republicans have more Twitter followers than Democrats. Seven of the top 10 most-followed lawmakers are Republicans. And seven of the 10 most-frequent tweeters are also Republicans.
Those are a few findings of a Washington Post story out Monday about lawmakers' use of the social network. It's interesting by itself to look at things like who's got the most followers (Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is No. 1, with 1.9 million). But it's also important, as elections approach in November, to see which party has the longer reach through the medium. As the Post puts it:
Democrats' efforts to maintain control of the Senate and continue treading water in the House will hinge largely on their ability to get out the vote, particularly among young and minority voters. The Pew Research Center notes that Twitter adoption levels "are particularly high among younger adults and African-Americans," so the fact that Republicans have the larger Twitter follower base represents a potentially serious deficit for the Democrats this fall.
The data was compiled on April 19.
In case you're wondering which senator has the second-highest number of followers, it's New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker, who's closing in on 1.5 million.
In the House, Speaker John Boehner has the most followers, with about 640,000. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is second, with nearly 475,000.
As of April 19, just eight House members didn't have individual accounts. Those eight are split evenly between Democrats and Republicans. Every senator is on Twitter.

Mayor Don Wesely today said an increasing amount of crime in Lincoln is closely linked to the use of methamphetamine, and he called on citizens and retailers to help fight the trend. Police Chief Tom Casady said meth has been tied to two homicides and other violent crimes including several armed robberies and assaults.
"An increasing amount of crime is apparently connected to methamphetamine use, and it is reason for all of us to be concerned," said Wesely. "Our law enforcement officials have done an excellent job solving many of these crimes and fighting the use and sale of meth. I am confident that with the community's help, we can keep our community one of the safest in the nation."
"Methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug, and manufacturing it is a dangerous operation," said Chief Casady. "Because its ingredients are readily available and it is relatively low in cost, the presence of meth continues to increase in Lincoln and in the Midwest." Law enforcement officials responded to 43 meth lab incidents in Lancaster County during 2001, 22 in the city limits. During the first eight days of 2002, three meth labs have been discovered.
"We need to stop the spread of meth in Lincoln and Lancaster County," said Wesely. "Meth contributes to crime and can destroy the life and future of those who use it. All of us need to be alert to the signs of meth production and use. If we don't, the City and County risk paying the price in higher crime rates, incarceration and medical treatment costs."
Casady released preliminary crime statistics for the City of Lincoln for 2001 showing a 7.1 percent increase over the same period last year, driven primarily by larcenies. Lincoln recorded six homicides in 2001 compared to three in 2000. (See more figures at end of release.)
Mayor Wesely, Chief Casady and Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner are asking for citizens to be vigilant in reporting anything suspicious, such as unusual odors and activities. They are also asking local retailers to redouble their efforts to report suspicious requests for and sales of large quantities of the substances used to manufacturing methamphetamine.

Can Kevin Ogletree Claim The #4 WR Spot?
As I made my daily trek for Cowboys news on the internet this morning, I cam across this interesting post by Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
Tim takes a look at wide receiver Kevin Ogletree and ponders his role for the upcoming season. He writes,
Undrafted receiver Kevin Ogletree proved as a rookie that he can contribute to the Cowboys. Now, he's trying to prove that the Cowboys can rely on him.
After a full offseason, Ogletree feels confident that he has a firm grasp of the playbook. He practiced at all three receiver positions, trying to maximize his chances to get on the field.
The Cowboys don't have any questions about Ogletree's ability. They like his speed, quickness, elusiveness and hands. They don't know yet about his dependability.
I was very impressed with what I saw of Ogletree in limited playing time last season. He seems to have a nose for the ball, a flair for the dramatic, and though it was mentioned in Tim's post I thought Ogletree showed some explosiveness and burst.
As it stands now, Ogletree is probably ranked fifth on the depth chart behind Miles Austin, Roy Williams, Dez Bryant and Patrick Crayton at wide receiver, but with a solid training camp that could change.
I think that Ogletree's immediate future is somewhat tied to Crayton's. It is still uncertain what role Crayton will have on this team if any, especially if he holds to his current demands for a trade or release.
Even so, Ogletree has shown some flashes that would indicate he could pass Crayton up on performance alone when training camp begins. It's one of the things to keep on eye this pre season as the Cowboys decide who makes the wide receiver corps and who will be on the sidelines when they take on the Washington Redskins for the season opener.
Who do you think will claim the #4 WR spot on the roster?

As part of her Diamond Jubilee tour around the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, will make a two day trip to Northern Ireland in June. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the British royal duo will make stops in Belfast and Enniskillen.
The Irish Independent reports that the Queen made visits to the North during her Silver Jubilee tour in 1977 during the height of The Troubles and also during her Golden Jubilee year in 2002.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said "As previously announced, the Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, will visit Northern Ireland as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour of the United Kingdom. Her Majesty and His Royal Highness will visit Enniskillen and Belfast on June 26 and 27. Further details of the programme will be confirmed in due course."
The Queen's last visit to Northern Ireland was in 2010, but other members of the royal family have made tours of the province since then. More recently, the Queen made a historic visit to the Republic of Ireland last year.
The Queen, during her Irish tour last year, made a symbolic gesture by laying a wreath on Republic's Garden of Remembrance which is dedicated to all those who fought for Irish independence from Britain.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, a former IRA commander, indicated that he may meet the Queen during her tour next month. A handshake between the two would be another hugely symbolic gesture, one that would be an important indicator of the progress of the peace process in Northern Ireland.
While speaking at a conference in Dublin last month, McGuinness said that the Queen's upcoming Northern Ireland visit would be "making clear that the enormous progress that's been made in recent times has been made because politicians have been prepared to compromise.
"Compromise to me in the peace process is never a dirty word," added McGuinness.
"There are big challenges ahead for all of us. Not just for me, but others in the process. We all have to be big enough to rise to these challenges. Am I big enough to rise to these challenges? Absolutely. My track record shows that's the case."

Wordpress is the goto Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) content management system (CMS) created by Matt Mullenweg and first released in 2003. Wordpress has a vast and vibrant community that provides tens of thousands of free plugins and themes to allow the user to easily customize the appearance and function of their Wordpress CMS. Wordpress is licensed under the GPLv2.
The biggest feature of Wordpress is its ease in configuration and administration. Setting up a Wordpress site takes five minutes. The Wordpress administration panel allows users to easily configure almost every aspect of their website including fetching and installing plugins and themes. Wordpress provides effortless automatic updates.

- 2 Configuration
- 3 Wordpress Installation
- 4 Usage
- 5 Troubleshooting
- 6 Tips and tricks
- 7 See also
Wordpress also requires PHP and MySQL to be installed and configured. See the LAMP wiki article for more information.
Installation using pacman
Install wordpress from the official repositories.
Manual install
Go to wordpress.org and download the latest version of Wordpress and extract it to your webserver directory. Give the directory enough permissions to allow your FTP user to write to the directory (used by Wordpress).
cd /srv/http/whatever wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz tar xvzf latest.tar.gz
The configuration method used here assumes you are using Wordpress on a local network.
Host config
Make sure your
/etc/hosts file is setup correctly. This will be important when accessing your Wordpress CMS from a local network. Your
/etc/hosts file should look something like the following,
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 lithium.kaboodle.net localhost lithium ::1 lithium.kaboodle.net localhost lithium
Configure apache
You will need to create a config file for apache to find your Wordpress install. Create the following file and edit it your favorite text editor:
# /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-wordpress.conf
Alias /wordpress "/usr/share/webapps/wordpress" <Directory "/usr/share/webapps/wordpress"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymlinks Order allow,deny Allow from all php_admin_value open_basedir "/srv/:/tmp/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps:$" </Directory>
/wordpress in the first line to whatever you want. For example,
/myblog would require that you navigate to
http://hostname/myblog to see your Wordpress website.
Also change the paths to your Wordpress install folder in case you did a manual install. Don't forget to append the parent directory to the
php_admin_value variable as well as shown below.
# /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-wordpress.conf
Alias /myblog "/mnt/data/srv/wordpress" <Directory "/mnt/data/srv/wordpress"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymlinks Order allow,deny Allow from all php_admin_value open_basedir "/srv/:/tmp/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps:/mnt/data/srv:$" </Directory>
Next edit the apache config file and add the following:
# /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
... Include conf/extra/httpd-wordpress.conf ...
Now restart httpd (Apache).
Configure MySQL
MySQL can be configured using a plethora of tools, but the most common are the command line or phpMyAdmin.
Using phpMyAdmin
See phpMyAdmin to install and configure phpMyAdmin.
In your web browser, navigate to your phpMyAdmin host and perform the following steps:
- Login to phpMyAdmin.
- Click "user" and then click "Add user".
- Give the pop up window a name and a password.
- Select "Create database with same name and grant all privileges".
- Click the "Add user" button to create the user.
Wordpress Installation
Once you have spent a couple of hours setting up your http server, php, and mysql, it is finally time to let Wordpress have its five minutes and install itself. So let us begin.
The Wordpress installation procedure will use the URL in the address field of your web browser as the default website URL. If you have navigated to http://localhost/wordpress, your website will be accessible from your local network, but it will be broken in appearance and function.
- Navigate to
- Click the "Create a Configuration File" button.
- Click the "Let's go!" button.
- Fill in you database information created in the previous section
- Click "Submit".
If you installed Wordpress from the Official repository, then this setup procedure will not have the correct permissions to create the wp-config.php file used by Wordpress. You will have to do this step yourself as root using information Wordpress will provide.
A page will appear saying Wordpress can not write the wp-config.php file. Copy the text in the edit box and open
/usr/share/webapps/wordpress/wp-config.php as root in your text editor. Paste the copied text into the editor and save the file.
Finally, Click "Run the install" and Wordpress will populate the database with your information. Once complete, you will be shown "Success!" page. Click the login button to finish your installation.
Now would be a good time to access your website from all your devices to be sure your Wordpress installation is setup correctly.
Installing a theme
There are tens of thousands of themes available for Wordpress. Searching on google for a good theme can be like wading through a river filled with trash. Good places for looking for themes include Smashing Magazine and the official Wordpress theme website. There is also pay for theme sites like Woo Themes and The Theme Factory.
Using the admin panel
Before installing a theme using the admin panel, you will need to setup an FTP server on your Wordpress host.
Once the FTP server is setup, login to your Wordpress installation and click "Appearance->Install Themes->Upload". From there select your zip file that contains your theme and click "Install Now". You will be presented with a box asking for FTP information, enter it and click "Proceed". If you have been following along closely, you should now have an installed theme. Activate it if you wish.
Installing a plugin
The steps for installing a plugin are the same as they are for installing a theme. Just click the "Plugins" link in the left navigation bar and follow the steps. Wordpress is very easy to use.
Every now and then when you log into wordpress there will be a notification informing you of updates. If you have correctly installed and configured an FTP client, and have the correct filesystem permissions to write in the Wordpress install path then you should be able to perform updates at the click of a button. Just follow the steps.
Appearance is broken (no styling)
Your Wordpress website will appear to have no styling to it when viewing it in a web browser (desktop or mobile) that does not have its hostnames mapped to ip addresses correctly.
This occurs because you used a url with the hostname of your server, instead of an ip address, when doing the initial setup and Wordpress has used this as the default website URL.
To fix this, you will either need to edit your /etc/hosts file or setup a proxy server. For an easy to setup proxy server, see Polipo, or if you want something with a little more configuration, see Squid.
Another option is changing a value in the database table of your Wordpress, specifically the wp_options table. The fix is to change the siteurl option to point directly to the IP (public) and not "localhost".

Tennessee's Corker says Trump administration on 'dangerous course' with auto investigation
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) - Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., says the Trump administration's move to investigate auto imports as a potential national security threat is "an attempt to affect domestic politics."
On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross initiated an investigation following a conversation with President Donald Trump. The investigation will "determine whether imports of automobiles, including SUVs, vans and light trucks, and automotive parts into the United States threaten to impair the national security as defined in Section 232."
Section 232 investigations are conducted under the authority of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 which allows such investigations in an effort to determine the effects of imports.
Ross says evidence suggests imports from abroad have "eroded our domestic auto industry." The Commerce Department statement cites a 22-percent decline in the automotive employment sector since 1990 has been countered by 16-percent growth in imports since 1998.
Corker, chair of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, issued a statement calling the decision into question.
"I am very concerned about the president abusing the authorities granted to him in Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962," said Corker. "There is no reason to use this provision to consider imposing tariffs on the automobile industry, and this appears to be either an attempt to affect domestic politics ahead of the election or for some other transactional purpose regarding ongoing trade discussions. This is a dangerous course and should be abandoned immediately."

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
Saratoga was the turning point of the American Revolution. The following activities build on material in the readings and maps and are intended to engage students with the people and events of this decisive battle.
Activity 1: A Council of War
Explain to students that they will be assuming the roles of Burgoyne and his officers. Divide students into groups of 5 or 6 and ask each group to select a commander. Provide the students with Reading 1 and Drawing 1. Direct "staff" to examine these documents apart from their "commander." Students should evaluate Burgoyne's situation from the information he had and weigh all the options for attacking the American army, waiting for Clinton, or retreating to Fort Ticonderoga. They should consider if there are any other options and decide what option seems the most logical. They ought to review the objective of the campaign, to reach Albany, and decide if the advantages justify the risks. When both "staff" and their "commander" are ready to make recommendations, the "commander" should call the October 6 council of war. The "commander" and "staff" should make their respective recommendations. Finally, each of the group "commanders" will announce a final decision to the whole class and explain why they accepted or rejected the advice of their "staff," or how they compromised with their "staff" and why. Compare the plan of action announced by the class "commanders" with General Burgoyne's decision and its consequences. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a council of war and whether this 18th-century decision-making model still works today.
Activity 2: The War Continues
Ask students to research the alliance with France. They should address the following questions and present their findings in a written report.
Activity 3: Soldiers and Settlement

2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler JK Buyers GuidePosted in Project Vehicles on January 1, 2010
Used Jeep Buyer's Guide Just driving a new car off the dealer lot typically results in an instant several-thousand-dollar loss of value. So maybe you've decided to go with a used '07-present Wrangler or Wrangler Unlimited (four-door) to save a few bucks. Many people often wrongly believe that they should avoid the first year of a new model. In some cases it can be a good move, but the truth of the matter is that there are often continual running changes made throughout the model years. For example a mid-year '08 may be pretty much the same as an early '09.
The '07 JK has an advantage, or disadvantage, depending on who you talk to. From 2008 on, the Wrangler received tire-pressure monitors in the wheels. The sensors are expensive (compared to a common rubber valve stem), and the system can be a pain in the ass when aftermarket tires and wheels are swapped on. However, the system can be altered or completely deactivated with aftermarket controllers, so don't let it be a deciding factor. We have an '07, so of course we're a little biased.
Besides the tire pressure monitor, available colors and minor trim pieces, there really are not that many changes from '07-'10. All of these Wranglers have the same 3.8L engine, all of them have the same six-speed manual or four-speed auto, and all of them have the same reliable NV241 transfer case and axles unless you opt for the Rubicon model. With that you get Dana 44 axles all around and a 4:1-geared NV241OR transfer case. Most JKs have 4.10 axle gears, although a few will have the less-desirable 3.21 gears. The six-speed manual tranny will typically get about 1 mpg better fuel economy over the optional four-speed automatic. If you're going to hack your new JK up anyway and plan to swap the engine, tranny, T-case, axles and so on, then maybe look for a good deal on a two-wheel-drive version. Overall, the real difference will be in how well the '07-present Jeep in question has been treated and maintained.
As with any used car purchase, check the basics. Inspect the engine and automatic tranny oil. Does it smell burned? Is it really dirty from poor maintenance? Is it foamy from water contamination? Are the tires worn, is there any visible body damage, are there missing parts, and so on.
Look for and avoid Jeeps with mud and other debris packed into strange places, especially in the interior. Check the vents, under the carpet, and anywhere that might lead you to believe it's been left out in a flood or hurricane to become a submarine. If you see any signs of submersion, it's best to find a different Jeep.
Looking at the underside of a Jeep is a good way to understand its history. Eyeball the front end from a distance. Do the tops of the tires lean in? Bigger tires and speedy off-road adventure in a JK can result in a bent front axlehousing. Are the framerails and crossmembers packed with mud? Is the muffler dented? Do the control arm brackets, frame, and crossmembers look bent, twisted, and jagged like they've been dragged over an industrial cheese grater? Have the track bar brackets been broken off and rewelded? If so, the Jeep shouldn't fetch top dollar. There are plenty of clean JKs out there, so don't fall in love and pay full price for a Jeep that's not like new.
Check the hard top parts. Do they look like they have been removed and tossed around by gorillas at the airport? Are the seals cut, worn, missing, or damaged from poor handling and storage? Do the soft top window zippers function properly? If the doors have been removed and poorly handled, you'll notice paint chips missing around the hinges and the outside edges.
The MyGIG multimedia radio and navigation system found on the '07 to '09 models may seem like a cool feature, but it's notoriously finicky and unreliable. You'll likely be much better off with an aftermarket navigation unit. Look for the single CD player or six-disc CD changer. Both units feature an auxiliary input jack for MP3 players and iPods. The jury is still out on the new Uconnect multimedia head unit found in the '10 Wrangler.
Inspect the tailgate and spare tire carrier for damage, especially if a larger aftermarket tire and wheel has been bolted up. Even more so if a spacer was added. A JK spare tire spacer and a heavy spare can cause many problems, ranging from a cracked spare tire carrier to a bent tailgate and broken spot welds in the tailgate itself. You can run up to a 35x12.50R17 on the stock tailgate-mounted spare tire carrier as long as you use a 17x8.5 wheel with around 4.5-4.7 inches of backspacing. It fits with the stock rear bumper if you deflate the tire. For 36-inch and bigger tires, the JK should have a bumper-mounted swing-out spare tire carrier.
As with any used car purchase, take the Jeep for a test drive and try out every lever, button, knob, and switch to make sure they function properly. Try the four-wheel-drive system either in a dirt lot or in a parking lot. If it's a Rubicon model, make sure the lockers engage and disengage and that the sway bar disconnect functions. A more thorough inspection up front will save you time, money, and frustration in the future.

|Harvest Bulletin: New Enologix Harvest Date Model
|New Model Predicts 135 Days Bloom to Harvest for Cabernet Sauvignon in Oakville
September 1, 2016–Grape Harvest Date (GHD) was predicted for October 3rd, 2016 if September temperatures equal the 10-year average, according a brand new model developed by Enologix scientists for Cabernet Sauvignon. However, GHD will be October 12 if temperatures are as cool as they were in August. We are proud to make these predictions using the Enologix New Model which has a standard error of prediction of 6-days. Grapegrowers will begin harvesting the first grapes September 27th, largely from vineyards that are either first through fourth leaf or on the crowns of hills and mountains. Adjust these numbers based on the grape maturation order of petit verdot, cabernet, merlot and cabernet franc.1
Huglin Index heat summations 1989-2016 in Oakville, CA. 2016 is now the 3rd coldest growing season in the past decade through August 31st.
Enologix has been a primary actor in building models to predict grape harvest date (GHD) since 2001. We have used the Winkler Index (WI) out of deference to Albert Winkler (1) and University of California, Davis viticulturists. We used weather station data supplied by California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) online at the UC IPM website to download the raw data from several weather stations to calculate growing degree days (GDD) using the Winkler Index (Equations 1 and 2 below).
OUR HARVEST MODELS failed to predict the 2015 GHD, and why? Two reasons: It has been generally accepted that Cabernet Sauvignon grapes reach optimum maturity at 120 Days Bloom to Harvest (DBH). Unfortunately, actual DBH has increased every decade since Napa Valley became a benchmark by which cabernet wines are judged — climbing from 120 days the year of the Judgement of Paris 1976 to 130 in 2000 and now over 140 DBH in 2015.
This model began to unravel in the mid-2000's at which time we began adjusting the DBH upward or downward using Growing Degree Days (GDD) calculated from the Winkler Index. However, we soon found that there were never enough degree-days to "catch up", and had a hunch that both the DBH model and the Winkler method of calculating heat summations were flawed for calculating GHD in 21st century coastal California wine regions.
OUR NEW MODEL, is introduced for the first time in this Growing Bulletin, September 1st, 2016. Our primary modification was to use the Huglin Heliothermal Index (HI) to calculate heat summations, which are then used to determine an adjusted DBH calculation. Huglincomputed the growing season from April 1 to September 30, as the clock ticks we will determine whether to use the October data which currently seems unnecessary(2).
The Huglin Index calculates heat summations as:
Where kis factor used to normalize Napa Valley latitude to Bordeaux. Huglin Degree Days (HDD) give more weight to daily maximum temperatures calculated as follows:
Example Calculations
EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS for Napa, California during the 12-year period 2004 to 2015 allowed Enologix to predict the GHD with a margin of error of 6-days for the period.
Issues and Solutions
Several new coefficients of correction were introduced to account for the impact of climate change on winegrowing. One was for latitude, k, which enables Enologix to standardize Napa Valley to Bordeaux in terms of the sum of the temperatures required for vine development and luxury cabernet grape ripening.
Moving forward, we will continue to refine the model. In 2017, we will introduce Enologix Cold Night Coefficient (CNC) and Drought Index (DI). Huglin Index reduces the error of prediction when year to date heat summations through August 31 are used with ten-year average September heat summations. In the hottest growing season, 2015, Huglin Index corrected the failure of the Winkler Index withthe calculation for actual heat summations from bloom to August 31, 2015 plus 10-year average September heat summations to predict GHD.
We must agree that for multiple reasons, the conventional heat summation models used to this point are flawed for California wine industry. Using over 12 years of climate data and phenological dates collected from customers across multiple regions, we built a new model to predict harvest date and quality using a modification of the Huglin Index combined with our own process based phenology models. We invite you to consider using this model for your unique region and variety. Further, we encourage your participation by sharingyour phenological and temperature data with us to make the model more robust for more regions and varieties (Crowdsourcing is all the rage, folks!).
Early Observations for Vintage 2016
Our sense is that grape color will track higher than 2015. We have beenseeing fermenter samples of early ripening varieties, and it appears that extraction is higher than normal, especially for Pinot Noir. Your Standard Fermentation Plan (SFP) should hedge toward moderating tannin extraction at this point. It is always a good strategy to make a light wine from first few tanks than over-extract. We highly recommend that you sample first fermenters at 18, 12, 6 and 0 °Brix to confirm extraction and fine-tune your SFP.
Weather Summary for August
Relatively cool ocean temperatures just offshorehave resulted in a robust marine layer, and the traditional "June Gloom" associated with California's marine stratus has persisted into August in most areas inCalifornia's North Coast region.
Meanwhile, across all of Southern California and even more inland parts of Northern California, this summer has been yet another hot one–and several heatwaves have occurred since June. Unusually warm ocean conditions have persisted along the Southern California coastline, keeping the marine influence in check and allowing for very hot conditions at times just a few miles inland from the immediate coastline.
Weather Forecast for Week of September 8 - 12
Temperatures will start to cool Thursday as the onshore flow returns. Wednesday's warmup yielded temperatures in the70s to lower 80s near the coast andwidespread 80s and 90s inland with a few of the warmest inland areasreaching to around 100 degrees. Conditions are forecast to cool byThursday as the ridge aloft weakens and shifts further away from the coast and onshore flow increases. The marine layer will deepenover the region. Thus, more widespread clouds are forecast to develop by Thursdaymorning along with the onset of cooler conditions spreading backinland. Temperatures on both Thursday and Friday should be closer toseasonal averages with increased likelihood of late night andmorning low clouds spreading inland.
Further Cooling in Forecast for Next Week
Dry weather conditions will also persist into the weekend with onlyminor changes in day-to-day temperatures as weak high pressureremains over the region. Conditions cool further early next week asthe latest forecast models show a mid/upper level trough droppingsouthward out of the Pacific Northwest down through California.Depending on the exact track, could see a deepening of the marinelayer and potentialfor coastal drizzle to return during the latenight and morning hours. Otherwise, mostly dry weather conditionsare forecast to persist with any chances of convection staying wellinland over the Sierra.

Caring for Your Children in Various Situations
Here are the basics of child care:
- Know where your children are and whom they are with at all times. Make sure that they return home promptly at appointed times.
- Have them check in with you when they arrive at or depart from a particular location and when there is a change of plans.
- Never let your young children go anywhere alone. Make sure another trusted adult is present if you cannot.
- Make sure your older children, who have more freedom, always go out with a friend and that they fully understand all safety rules.
- Know what your children wear every day. Avoid putting their names on the outside of their clothes. Children may respond more readily to a stranger who calls them by name.
- Never leave your child alone in a vehicle, restroom, store, playground, or other public place.
- Have your child play in a supervised area with friends you know.
- Let your child know where you will be at all times and how to get in touch with you.
- Keep a record of your children's friends and their phone numbers.
- Post a list of important phone numbers near your phone. Include the numbers of your work phone, a neighbor or trusted friend to call for help in a non-emergency, a family member or trusted friend to call in an emergency, family doctor, etc.
- Keep an updated information file on your children. Include pictures, fingerprints, footprints, physical characteristics, identifying marks, medical and dental records, etc.
- Find out why your child doesn't want to be with someone or go somewhere. The reason may be more than a personality conflict or a lack of interest.
- Notice when anyone shows an unusual amount of interest in your child or gives him or her gifts. Ask your child why he or she is acting that way.
- Before leaving your child alone at home make sure he or she is not afraid to be alone and is able to follow your instructions about dealing with various situations that might arise.
- Have a way to contact your children if you will be late in picking them up, meeting them somewhere, coming home, etc.
- Attend your children's activities so you can observe how other adults who are involved interact with them. Talk to the person in charge if you become concerned about anyone's behavior.
- Make time every day to discuss the day's events with your children. Encourage them to tell you about anything that makes them uncomfortable, or scares or confuses them. Listen to what they say and never underestimate their fears or concerns. Show them that you are always concerned about their safety and security. Effective communication is the most important factor in child safety.
- Be alert for any changes in your child's behavior. Look and listen for things that indicate something is troubling him or her. Children are often uncomfortable in disclosing disturbing events or feelings because they are concerned about your reactions to their problems. When they do talk about their problems be calm, compassionate, reassuring, and nonjudgmental as you work with them to resolve the problem.
- Discuss the safety and security tips in this paper with your children in an open calm, reassuring manner so as not to frighten them. Analyze situations in which they apply and create what-if scenarios make sure your children understand how to react quickly and appropriately in them.
- Make sure your home is secure with deadbolt locks on outside doors, locked side-yard gates, secondary locks on sliding glass doors and windows, burglar and smoke alarms, etc. View additional prevention tips on home security.
- Report any suspicious persons or activities involving your children to the SDPD on its non-emergency number, 619-531-2000 or 858-484-3154.
When shopping or in a public place:
- Have your children stay with you at all times. Tell them not to wander off, leave the store, or hide. Don't get distracted by the sights, sounds, and crowds when shopping during holidays.
- Tell them to go to the nearest clerk or person with a nametag and ask for help if they become lost. Show these people to them when entering the store.
- Accompany younger children to restrooms.
- Never leave your child at a video arcade, movie theater, food court, toy store, or mall play area as a convenient "babysitter" while you are shopping. Personnel in those areas are not there to watch children.
- If you allow an older child to go to without you, have him or her go with a friend and set a time for them to return.
When moving to a new neighborhood:
- Meet your neighbors and introduce your children to them.
- Take your children on a walking tour of the neighborhood.
- Show them safe places to go it they need help, e.g., neighbor's or friend's homes, businesses, offices, etc.
- Show them places to avoid, e.g., deserted or abandoned buildings, dark or isolated areas, etc.
- Make a map of safe routes to the school, playground, stores, and other places where they would be allowed to go.
When going to and from school:
- Walk your child to and from school, and point out dangerous spots and safe places to go if he or she needs help.
- Have your child walk or bike to and from school with a friend. There is safety in numbers.
- If your child takes a bus to and from school, visit the bus stop with your child and make sure he or she learns the bus number. Have your child stay with a group while waiting for the bus.
- Ask the school to notify you whenever your child is not in class.
- Make sure that the school will not release your child to anyone but yourself or a person previously designated by you, and that the school will call you back to verify any call saying that some person will come to pick up him or her.
When using the Internet and cell phones:
Although the vast majority of online services and Internet material is legitimate and benign, there have been numerous incidents of children receiving pornographic material, providing personal information under the pretext of possibly winning a prize, or sending money for promised benefits or products. Warning signs of these dangers include excessive late-night computer use, secretive behavior about computer associates, hidden files or directories, and password-protected bios, files, or logical drives.
If you are not familiar with computers, the Internet, and social networking, you should visit NetSmartz411,the premiere Internet-safety helpdesk and hotline to help educate yourself. You should also sit down with your children to have them show you the websites they visit, how they navigate through the Internet, and how they use social networking sites. To better understand the latter you should try networking yourself. This is a great way to connect with your children on computer-related matters.
You should do the following to minimize Internet dangers that your children may encounter:
- Start early. Talk to your children about online behavior, safety, and security as soon as they start using a computer, cell phone, or any mobile device. Supervise closely the choice of websites for young children. Continue to monitor online activities as your children get older and more independent.
- Set reasonable guidelines and time limits for Internet and cell phone use, and social networking. Prohibiting Internet use is not a good idea because it is too easy for children to establish accounts at a friend's house or many other places. But do set time limits on computer use. People, not computers, should be their best friends and companions.
- Keep the computer in the family room or other area where its use can be monitored. Don't allow computers and mobile devices such as laptops and smart phones to be used in your children's bedrooms. And don't allow your children to have separate passwords and log-on names.
- Post clear, simple, easy-to-read rules for Internet use on or near the computer. Discuss these rules with your children and make sure they understand the reasons for them. Visit NetSmartz for examples of rules and safety tips. Your supervision and attention is the best way to protect your children when using the Internet.
- Know what Internet access your children have away from home, i.e., at a friend's home, libraries, schools, and cell phones and other wireless devices, and have a plan to monitor their online activities there as well as at home.
- Initiate conversations with your children about their Internet use. Communicate your values, be patient and persistent, and don't rush through conversations. Encourage your children to come to you with any problems they encounter online.
- Make sure they understand the importance of password and privacy protection, and not to share passwords or log-on names with anyone else. And don't let them use their pet's names as passwords.
- Have your children request your permission to exchange phone numbers or meet another child they have "talked" to online. Consider talking to the other child's parents about a meeting and accompanying your child to the meeting, which should be in a public place. Tell your children that caution is needed because people online are not necessarily who they might seem to be.
- Discourage your children from visiting chat rooms, especially those with video, even if they claim to be child friendly. Persons who would harm children use these websites to entice children.
- Use filtering software to scan for offensive words and phrases in chat rooms and then end the conversations by signing off.
- Install a browser that limits the websites that your younger children can visit to those vetted by educational professionals. Some will send you periodic emails that detail you children's Internet activity.
- Install a monitoring service like McGruff SafeGuard. It's free and also scans any chat or text conversations for bad language and other inappropriate communications. Go to www.gomcgruff.com for details of this service.
- Have your children promise not to turn off any programs you might install to monitor their computer use.
- Understand how online services work.
- Check the computer's cache and history to see what websites have been accessed.
- Ask your children for their passwords and log-on names, and to share their blogs and online profiles with you. Be aware that they can have multiple accounts on multiple services. Search for you children's identifying information and monitor their screen name(s) and websites for inappropriate content. Also monitor their texts to make sure they are not receiving any threatening or harassing messages, or are sending, receiving, or saving any sexts.
- Learn the meaning of the acronyms your children use in texting. Go to www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php for a list of acronyms and their definitions, e.g., PAL means parents are listening.
- Make sure your child's screen name does not reveal any identifying information such as name, age, location, school. A screen name should be benign and innocuous, e.g., the first letter of each word in an easily-remembered phrase.
- Prohibit your children from downloading any games, movies, programs, etc., trying to win "free" things, or buying things without your permission.
- Tell your children it's not safe to put photos or any type of personally identifying information on a personal website without privacy settings, even if they promise to give the website address to people they know. Anyone in the world can access such a website. Also, personally identifying information should not be published on a group website or in an Internet yearbook. Group photos are preferable to individual photos only if no names are published.
- Have your children ask permission before listing any adults as "friends" online, even if they are teachers, relatives, or your friends.
Children who use social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace should be warned about online predators and harassers. They should be taught to do the following to prevent and deal with any problems that might arise:
- Never to give out your name, address, phone number, or any other personal information that can identify you. Avoid posting anything that would enable a stranger to find you, e.g., school names. Members' profiles become public information.
- Never say you are home alone.
- Don't post anything that you wouldn't want the world to know, especially anything or language that might embarrass you later, e.g., in applying for college or a job. What's uploaded can be downloaded and passed around by others and be posted online forever. It can't be taken back even if it's deleted from a site.
- Never send out any pictures of yourself, family members, or friends.
- Be careful about adding strangers to your list of "friends." People aren't always who they say they are.
- Come to me to discuss any harassment, hate speech, and inappropriate content you receive.
- Check comments regularly. Ignore and don't respond to any that are mean or embarrassing. Just log off if the harassment bothers you.
- Avoid misleading people into thinking you are older or younger than you are.
- Don't talk about sex or use any sexually explicit language.
- Block people from sending you messages or email, or delete them from your "buddy list" if they harass you.
- Change your password if someone hacks into your profile. Change you username and email address if someone repeatedly bothers you.
- Contact the company that runs the site to have any your profile deleted if it was created or altered without your knowledge.
- Talk to someone you trust if you are upset about what is being said about you. If you are scared or threatened contact a Juvenile Service Team officer at your nearest SDPD area station and inform your Internet Service Provider.
Children also need to be given rules for using cell phones and be warned of dangers in their use. Rules should deal with when and where phones can be used, what they can and cannot be used for, and etiquette and safety in texting. You need to set good examples in the use of phones, e.g., not while driving. One thing that phones should not be used for is sexting, i.e., the sending or forwarding of sexually explicit photos, videos, or messages. In addition to risking their reputation and friendships, they could be breaking the law if they create, forward, or even save this kind of message. The following are some good rules for texting.
- Be polite and respect others. Avoid using shorthand that might lead to misunderstandings. Think about how a message might be read and understood before sending it.
- Ignore messages from people you don't know.
- Block numbers of people you don't want to hear from.
- Don't post your cell phone number on the Internet.
- Never provide personal or financial information in response to a text message.
- Use Cc: and Reply all: with care.
Cyberbullying is another problem you should talk to your children about. You should tell them that they can't hide behind the messages they send or pictures they post, and that hurtful messages not only threaten the victim, but they make the sender look bad and can bring scorn from peers. Such messages are also a misdemeanor under California law for which the sender can be punished by up to one year in a county jail, by a fine of not more than $1,000, or both. Also, you should also make sure your own conduct does not encourage bullying, i.e., that you don't make mean-spirited comments about others or act unkindly to them.
You also need to be prepared to help your children if they become a victim of bullying. You should encourage them to show you any online messages or pictures that make them feel threatened or hurt. If you fear for your child's safety you should call the SDPD on its non-emergency number, 619-531-2000 or 858-484-3154. Otherwise tell your child not to respond, save the messages and pictures for evidence, and keep you informed. Call the SDPD again if the bullying persists. Here are some other things your child should do:
- Report the bullying to the website or network where it appears.
- Delete the bully from your list of "friends" or "buddies," or block the bully's username or email address.
- Share these measures with a friend who is a victim of bullying. Bullying usually stops quickly when peers intervene on behalf of the victim.
Any suspected online sexual exploitation or attempt by an adult to meet your child should be reported immediately to the San Diego Internet Crimes against Children Task Force at 858-715-7100 and the Cyber Tipline at (800) 843-5678. The former is the local law-enforcement agency that deals with these matters. The latter is managed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and is mandated by Congress to forward your information to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation. If your children or anyone in your home receives pornography depicting children or your children receive sexually explicit images, report the imagery to ICAC and keep it open on your computer until an investigator comes to see it. Do not copy or download it. In the meantime you can use your computer for other things or turn your monitor off.
Children should also be warned about virus creators, identity thieves, and spammers. These cyber-criminals are increasingly targeting users of social networking sites in an effort to steal their personal data and the passwords to their accounts. One of the tactics they use to gain access to this information involves sending social networking users emails that appear to come from online "friends." For example, some Facebook users have been receiving emails from "friends" that claim to contain a video of them. When they click on it they download a virus that goes through their hard drives and installs malware (malicious software). The virus, known as Koobface, then sends itself to all the "friends" on the victim's Facebook profile. A new version of the virus also is affecting users of MySpace and other social networking sites. Cyber-criminals are tricking social networking users into downloading malware by creating fake profiles of friends, celebrities, and others. Security experts say that such attacks, which became widespread in 2008, are increasingly successful because more and more people are becoming comfortable with putting all kinds of personal information about themselves on social networking sites. They warn that users need to be very careful about what information they post because it can be used to steal their identities.
To avoid these problems on social networking sites or anywhere in the Internet, you should warn your children to:
- Not to click on any links, videos, programs, etc. provided in messages, even if a "friend" encourages you to click on them.
- Not to visit any sites that promise ways of bypassing parental controls or blocks set up by schools to prevent users from visiting sites such as Facebook. These sites are full of scams, malware, and offers for other services.
- Get program updates directly from the company's website, not through a provided link.
- Customize your personal privacy settings so only your "friends" have access to the information you post.
- Read your network's privacy policy regularly to stay informed on how it uses or discloses your information.
- Scan your computer regularly with an anti-virus program. Make sure the program is kept up to date, preferably automatically.
- Be suspicious of anyone, even a "friend," who asks for money over the Internet.
- Don't open or forward chain letters. Just delete them. They are nuisances at best and scams at worst. And many contain viruses or spyware.
- Watch out for "free" stuff. Don't download anything unless it's from a trusted source and it's been scanned with security software. "Free" stuff can hide malware.
- Don't respond to pop-ups. Delete them immediately.
- Avoid all online games and quizzes that request personal information, including your email address. Providing this information can put your identity at risk.
Additional information on Internet dangers to children and how to keep children safe online is available on numerous websites. These include the following:
- San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force
- National Cyber Security Alliance
- San Diego County District Attorney (see the Protecting Children Online page under Protecting the Community)
- GetNetWise
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (see "A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety under Cyber Issues" on the Reports and Publications page)
- National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
- OnGuardOnline
When trick-or-treating on Halloween:
- Have your children wear light- or bright-colored clothing, or reflective tape so they can easily be seen.
- Make sure their costumes fit well. Oversized costumes and footwear can cause them to trip and fall.
- Make sure hats can't slide over their eyes, and if they wear masks, that they fit securely and have eye holes that are large enough for full vision.
- If they wear face make-up, apply only nontoxic and hypoallergenic paint or cosmetics.
- Don't let them wear costumes with excessive fabric. Loose clothing can brush up against a jack-o-lantern or other open flame and cause costumes to catch on fire.
- If they carry props such as swords or knives, have them carry flexible ones. Inflexible ones can cause serious injury if they fall on them.
- Younger children should be accompanied by an adult. Attach a tag with their name, address, and phone number to their clothes in case they get separated. It is better if they trick-or-treat during daylight.
- Older children should trick-or-treat with friends. It is more fun and safer. They should carry cell phones and flashlights, have a curfew, tell you where they are going, go only to familiar, nearby neighborhoods, only visit homes with porch lights on, and remain within view from the street.
- Remind your children to stay on sidewalks and otherwise walk facing traffic. And only cross streets at intersections and look both ways before crossing.
- Tell your children not to eat any treats they collect, but to bring them home for you to examine for holes, punctures, etc. Throw away any treats that are homemade or unwrapped.
- If your child has food allergies, read all labels giving them any treats to eat.
- Feed your children a snack or light meal before trick-or-treating so they won't get hungry and sample some treats they collect.
- If any treats look suspicious, call the SDPD on its non-emergency number.

Tycho Integration Into Fedora
To document and comment upon the integration of Tycho into Fedora.
Upstream : http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/
Fedora Tycho Repository : http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=tycho.git
Koji Builds : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=11939
Package ACLs : https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/tycho
Bugs : https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/tycho
Fedora's Tycho is currently updating and tracking upstream's releases for the following branches :
- rawhide
- f17
- f16 (0.10.0)
Packages currently having a BuildRequire on Tycho :
- eclipse-cdt
- eclipse-dltk
- eclipse-mylyn
- jacoco
- swt-chart
- tycho
- tycho-extras
Important Notes
maven.local.mode and offline
Tycho should respect maven.local.mode as well as offline mode when doing builds. That is :
When maven.local.mode is set, and offline mode is set (eg. mvn-rpmbuild), Tycho will resolve its dependencies using only local resources. (eg. m2 cache, local p2 repository). When maven.local.mode is set, and offline mode is not set (eg. mvn-local), Tycho will first attempt to resolve its dependencies using local resources. If a resource cannot be found locally, Tycho will check remote repositories and bring it into the m2 cache as needed. In this case, the m2 cache will be filled with just those resources that could not be found locally.
Tycho Local OSGi bundle resolution
Much like Maven, Tycho must resolve its dependencies from other packages already available in Fedora if it is going to be used to build other OSGi bundles. To do this a local resolution mode has been implement similar to how it is done for Maven. When running mvn-rpmbuild (provided by Maven), Tycho will resolve maven dependencies in the same way as Maven. In the case of remote p2 repositories Tycho will also ignore them when running in local mode (mvn-rpmbuild, mvn-local).
Currently, an OSGi project wishing to build with Tycho that has OSGi dependencies must provide a local p2 repository on the system holding all of those dependencies. This is accomplished in 3 steps :
- Eclipse's copy-platform script is used to gather the various dependencies needed for the build and place them in a single folder.
- The FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher application is used to create a p2 repository on the local system.
- Tycho is made aware of this repository by specifying it under the list of repositories.
A rough boilerplate for the above steps would be :
(At the end of the %prep section of the specfile)
/usr/lib/eclipse/buildscripts/copy-platform SDK \ /usr/lib/eclipse cdt eclipse -debug -consolelog -nosplash -verbose \ -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher \ -metadataRepository file:/path/to/myrepo \ -artifactRepository file:/path/to/myrepo \ -source $PWD/SDK \ -compress -append -publishArtifacts
(In the project's top-level pom.xml, and within the <repositories> tag)
<repository> <id>my_local_rpmbuild_repo</id> <layout>p2</layout> <url>file:/path/to/myrepo</url> </repository>
Tycho (in rawhide, and f17 soon) will resolve against most system osgi bundles (eclipse bundles, and anything in /usr/share/java) by default. This functionality is tracked at Bug 809575
Tycho Bootstrap Building In Fedora
The building of Tycho in Fedora is different from most builds. Since Tycho itself has subprojects that are OSGi bundles, it must do a bootstrap build of the modules needed for building OSGi bundles, before it can build everything else. As a result it has a dependency on itself.
In Fedora the first build was accomplished by providing a pre-built (from sources) version of Tycho (0.13.0) in its m2 cache so that it may resolve its dependency on itself. All subsequent builds simply depended on the previously built version (BuildRequires: %{name}). This actually causes a problem because when the previous version is not different from the version about to be built (as is the case during release bumps), the Maven resolver enters a cyclic dependency. It does not resolve the necessary artifact from the system, but rather from the reactor project, and thus fails. To work around this issue we build twice.
The first build modifies the version to be different from the previous (often ${version}-SNAPSHOT which is different from ${version}). The second build removes the "SNAPSHOT" so that a proper build may take place. Note that upstream has confirmed this would have to be done : http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tycho-user/msg02599.html

Summer yoga and swim camp coming to Eagle
May 14, 2012
Eagle Athletic Club will host a kids summer yoga and swim camp in June and July, offering kids a chance to creatively explore yoga, followed by an hour-long swim beach party at the Eagle Athletic Club pool.
Instructor Erin Fernandez believes that yoga helps children to be comfortable in their own skin and loves to explore self expression with kids through yoga. Kids will be introduced to the science of yoga through fun, energetic and challenging poses. Campers will also play games, testing their strength and balance, followed by mindful discussion and reflection.
"Yoga is a child's way to vibrantly connect with the Universe – creating self-awareness to nurture themselves and their environments," Fernandez said.
Attendees should bring beach balls and yoga pants to this one-of-a-kind summer yoga camp. After an hour of blending yoga with laughter and fun, campers will get to cool off with a pool party.
Camp will be offered in two sessions (one in June, one in July) on Mondays from 9:45 a.m. to noon. The camp is for children ages 6 and up. Camper must be able to swim independently (life guard will be present during beach party). Cost $60 per session. Call Eagle Athletic Club to register at 970-328-6316.

Welcome to John Lamb's Artillery Company!
JOHN LAMB'S ARTILLERY CO. (1775) is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to recreating and reliving the experiences of the American Revolution era. Lamb's Artillery Company was founded in 1959 and is based on the original company of artillery organized by John Lamb in May 1775. All clothing and equipment used by the members is authentic to the period.
Lamb's artillerymen wear uniforms of buff-faced blue wool regimental coats, buff waistcoats and breeches, and carry swords, bayonets and reproductions of the British Brown Bess or French Charleville flintlock muskets. Their cannon is modeled on the British three-pounder field piece, the bronze barrel cast from an original captured at theBattle of Saratoga.
The women portray camp followers, wives who followed their men and tended to their support in camp. They make good use of the camp equipment, such as tents and cooking utensils. Some are adept with a rifle or musket and shoot along with the men.
The men and women of Lamb's enjoy a camaraderie seldom found in today's hectic world. Company events, which include selected re-enactments of Revolutionary War musters, battles and camp-life demonstrations, often at historic sites, are a family affair. At a typical encampment a variety of colonial crafts and skills are demonstrated; this includes gun smithing, wool and flax spinning, camp cookery, basketry, leather working and wood working. (Regarding the cookery,the meals prepared over an open fire from 18th-century recipes are simplymouth-watering).
Membership is open to all persons who have a love of American history and the outdoors. Fees are nominal. Further information may beobtained on this website. Contact us if your intrested in Joining if this sound interesting to you. Join Today!
